COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT, WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE CITY OF LINCOLN 2025 REGULAR MEETING CITY COUNCIL, LINCOLN REDEVELOPMENT SUCCESSOR AGENCY, LINCOLN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY, DECEMBER 9TH, 2025, AT 618. CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. HOPE, COULD WE HAVE ROLL CALL, PLEASE? COUNCIL: YES, THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. COUNCIL: COUNCILMEMBER REEDY? HERE. COUNCILMEMBER PEARL? HERE. MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN? HERE. COUNCILMEMBER EKLUND? HERE. MAYOR ANDRIETTA? COUNCIL: I'M PRESENT, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: ITEM NUMBER 3, REPORT FROM CLOSED SESSION. WE DID NOT HAVE A CLOSED SESSION TONIGHT, SO THERE'S NOTHING TO REPORT. AND, MR. WOLFOOT IS GOING TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT, ITEM NUMBER 5, WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, OUR SUCCESSION OF MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR, AND OATHS OF OFFICE, SO… COUNCIL: I JUST WANT TO SAY, AND I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE A MINUTE LATER TO TALK TOO, BUT, COUNCIL: THIS IS ALWAYS A SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR, BECAUSE WE GET TO… COUNCIL: COME TOGETHER, IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, AND THIS IS THE POINT WHERE WE, COUNCIL: WE ROTATE, WE WELCOME IN THE NEW MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR, AND, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME SERVING AS MAYOR, AND IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT HONOR TO BE ON THE COUNCIL, TO SERVE AS MAYOR. WHEN YOU… WHEN YOU LOVE YOUR TOWN, IT'S NOT WORK. AND EVEN IN, COUNCIL: THE HARD DAYS, IT'S STILL GOOD. COUNCIL: OH, I DON'T NEED THAT, I'M FINE. COUNCIL: YEAH, I'M OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL: I'M ALRIGHT, I'M ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA HOLD IT TOGETHER. ALRIGHT, SO, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS TIME, BECAUSE BEFORE WE WERE IN DISTRICTS. COUNCIL: THE ROTATION WAS SET BY HOW MANY NUMBER OF VOTES A CANDIDATE GOT, AND WHO BECAME COUNCIL, AND IT WAS… THERE WAS A FORMULAIC, PROCEDURE. AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN DISTRICTS… COUNCIL: WE… WE'VE KIND OF PIVOTED A LITTLE BIT, AND WE REALLY DO NEED TO NAIL DOWN A SPECIFIC, POLICY IN WRITING. HOWEVER, COUNCIL: RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS, COUNCIL: WHAT WE ALWAYS DO ANYWAY, WE HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE REGARDLESS OF THE PROCEDURE, AND WE WILL NOMINATE WHO THE COUNCIL FEELS IS THE BEST PERSON TO LEAD. NOT THAT EVERYONE HERE IS NOT QUALIFIED, THEY ALL ARE, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO THAT, AND SO I THINK I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN, BECAUSE HE'S ASKED TO DO THIS. I APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCIL: AND HOLLY IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE CITY, GETTING QUITE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, AND WITH US GOING INTO DISTRICTS, IT'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO JUST GO THROUGH COUNCIL: JUST A ROTATION FOR THE MAYOR. AND, SO… COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, THIS COMING YEAR, I'LL BE… RUNNING AGAIN FOR… COUNCIL: BEING RE-ELECTED, AND, AND WITH THAT. COUNCIL: I FEEL LIKE MY TIME… I DON'T WANT MY TIME TAKEN AWAY FROM WHAT A MAYOR WOULD DO DURING THOSE TIMES. COUNCIL: SO, WITH THAT, I WOULD… COUNCIL: ASK THAT, I BE PASSED OVER FOR MAYOR THIS COMING YEAR. AND THEN… COUNCIL: I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE RICHARD PEARL. COUNCIL: TO BE MAYOR FOR THIS, COMING COUNCIL: I WILL SECOND THAT NOMINATION. COUNCIL: SO, DO I WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION OR DISCUSSION? WELL, I THINK AT SOME POINT, WE DO NEED TO… WE DO. COUNCIL: ACTUALLY. COUNCIL: UPDATE THE POLICY FOR WHAT WE REALLY WANT IT TO BE, BUT… WELL, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORKSHOP THAT FOR A LONG TIME, AND WE WILL THIS YEAR, BUT WE'LL… WE WILL DO IT AGAIN, YES, YES. COUNCIL: OKAY. COUNCIL: DO… DO WE HAVE TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? COUNCIL: I DON'T KNOW. COUNCIL: OKAY. COUNCIL: WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? COUNCIL: ANYBODY ONLINE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT, IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, LET'S TAKE A VOTE. OKAY, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN? YES. MAYOR ANDREA? YES. COUNCILMEMBER REEDY? YES. COUNCILMEMBER PEARL? YES. COUNCILMEMBER EKLUND? YES. COUNCIL: WOULD WE ALSO DO THE VICE MAYOR AT THIS POINT? WE WILL, CONGRATULATIONS. SO, I WILL SAY THIS, TOO, THAT ONE OF THE PRECEDENTS THAT WAS SET BY COUNCILS WAY BEFORE MY TIME WAS THAT, AND I KNOW EVERY CITY DOES IT DIFFERENTLY, AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, THEIR OWN REQUIREMENTS, AND THEIR OWN PRECEDENTS, AND THEIR OWN, YOU KNOW. COUNCIL: PRIORITIES WHEN IT COMES TO COUNCIL: WHO THEIR MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR IS. BUT FOR LINCOLN, THE THOUGHT WAS THAT, COUNCIL: THERE WOULDN'T BE A MAYOR OR VICE MAYOR UNLESS THEY… THEY WOULD NOT SERVE IN THAT UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL FOR 2 YEARS. BUT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A UNIQUE SITUATION, AND… COUNCIL: NOW MAYOR PEARL, IN JUST A MOMENT WHEN WE SWEAR YOU IN AND MOVE YOU OVER, HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE WAS OUR ELECTED TREASURER LAST TERM, AND SO I THINK THAT, WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS, AND I DON'T THINK… NORMALLY, I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO STICK TO THE PRECEDENT, BUT IN THIS CASE. COUNCIL: I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS, AND I'M VERY EXCITED FOR YOU TO, TO LEAD US THIS COMING YEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER DAY. COUNCIL: GOOD, AWESOME. COUNCIL: AND SO WITH THAT, THEN WE ALSO NEED TO CHOOSE, A NEW, MAYOR PRO TEM OR VICE MAYOR. I DON'T KNOW WHICH TERM WE LIKE BETTER, AND SO, COUNCIL: I'M… I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WANTED TO… I'M HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION, BUT GO AHEAD IF YOU WANT TO. YEAH, NO, I'LL MOVE TO APPOINT WHITNEY EKLUND, MAYOR PRO TEM. YEP, AND I'LL SECOND THAT. COUNCIL: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCIL: OKAY, ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RADY? YES. COUNCIL: FORMER MAYOR ANDREA. I'M STILL MAYOR FOR 30 MORE SECONDS. OKAY, A LITTLE LONGER, BECAUSE YOU'RE MESSING UP MY PROGRESS. YES. NO, I'M NOT HOLDING ON, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY SAY, ONCE MAYOR, ALWAYS MAYOR, BUT THAT'S OKAY. YES, I VOTE YES. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN? YES. COUNCILMEMBER EKLUND? COUNCIL: YES, COUNCILMEMBER PEARL. YES. THANK YOU. AND I WILL ALSO SAY THIS, TOO, THAT, IT'S ALSO VERY RARE, I MEAN, IT HAPPENS, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME, WHERE YOU HAVE COUNCIL: THREE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS COME ON AT ONCE. COUNCIL: AND I'M JUST SO PROUD OF, THE WORK THAT THIS COUNCIL'S DONE. I'M PROUD OF OUR WHOLE COUNCIL, BUT JOHN WHITNEY AND RICHARD, HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING. THE EXCELLENT WORK THAT EVERYONE HAS DONE THIS YEAR. WE'VE REALLY PULLED TOGETHER, AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME CHALLENGES IN FRONT OF US THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH, BUT WE ALSO COUNCIL: I'VE HAD A LOT OF GREAT WINS THIS YEAR, AND I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK, BUT SAME THING FOR WHITNEY. COUNCIL: I THINK WHITNEY WILL SERVE WITH EXCELLENCE AS VICE MAYOR THIS YEAR, AND HOPEFULLY BE MAYOR IN 27, SO WE'LL… YEAH, SO I'M VERY PROUD OF BOTH OF YOU, AND VERY EXCITED FOR YOU. COUNCIL: THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU BET, YOU BET. COUNCIL: AND MAYOR, BEFORE YOU MOVE ON WITH THE FORMALITIES, WE HAD SOMETHING FOR YOU. OKAY. SO, THIS IS, FROM STAFF AND COUNCIL FOR YOU. COUNCIL: AND WE'VE GIVEN YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SERVED IN LOTS OF ROLES OVER THE YEARS, AND SO… COUNCIL: AS YOUR FORMER COLLEAGUE, PAUL JOYNER, WOULD HAVE SAID, YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED YET ANOTHER THING TO HANG ON YOUR OFFICE WALL, SO… COUNCIL: COUNCILMEMBER EKLUND PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN KEEP THAT WE THINK IS ACTUALLY MORE VALUABLE, AND IT'S GONNA BE ON THE BIG SCREEN. COUNCIL: IN A MINUTE, WHEN THEY PULL IT OUT. OKAY. COUNCIL: MOVE THE TISSUES CLOSER TO HOLLY. I KNOW, RIGHT? YEAH, EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M A CRIER, I JUST CAN'T HELP IT, YES. COUNCIL: I WANT TO THANK THE LINCOLN HILLS VETERANS FOR INVITING ME TO BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY. COUNCIL: IT TRULY IS AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SPEAK, NOT ONLY AS THE MAYOR OF LINCOLN, BUT AS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. SO FIRST OF ALL, LORD, WE ASK FOR YOUR PRESENCE. WE ASK THAT YOU BE WITH US HERE, KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE. COUNCIL: KEEP US UNIFIED IN OUR GOAL AND OUR PURPOSE. COUNCIL: AND LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD. AND GOD, WE ASK THAT WE… WE ARE… COUNCIL: IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO STAND BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING IN THE PLACE THAT I LOVE. COUNCIL: THE PLACE THAT I GREW UP AND CHOSE TO BUILD A FAMILY HERE, AND THIS IS OUR TOWN, OUR STREETS, OUR PARKS, OUR SCHOOL, AND OUR… COUNCIL: IT IS THE HONOR TO SERVE YOU, AND TO SERVE THE CITY. WE LOVE YOU GUYS. WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY. COUNCIL: 1, 2, 3, 4. COUNCIL: AND KEEP LOCAL CONTROL SO WE CAN HAVE SOME, MEASURE OF RESPONSIBLE GROWTH.

I FOLLOW… COUNCIL: IN THE LINE OF SOME FABULOUS MAYORS, IN ADDITION TO CITY COUNCIL PEOPLE. BUT HOLLY, OUR LATE COUNCIL: A FRIEND, DAN CARLSKIN, PAUL JOYNER, ALYSSA SILLAI, I SEE STAN NADER IN THE BACK OVER THERE. COUNCIL: THE WORK THAT IS DONE BY THIS COUNCIL IS DONE AS A TEAM. COUNCIL: AND I… I… I HAVE BEEN AMONG AND AROUND COUNCIL: CITIES AND COUNTIES ALL MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER, I HAVE VERY RARELY SEEN. COUNCIL: A COUNCIL, AND AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS PULLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS HARD AS THIS GROUP HAS DONE. COUNCIL: IT'S A… IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE. ONE THING I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL I JOINED THIS COUNCIL: HOW MUCH OF A FAMILY? COUNCIL: BLY ON EACH OTHER. COUNCIL: FOR BOTH THE COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL: AND THE STAFF. WE WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. COUNCIL: THAT IS, EVERYTHING, EVERY DAY THAT WE GET UP, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO DO. COUNCIL: I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS CHALLENGE, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES. COUNCIL: IT'S GONNA BE… COUNCIL: JUST A FABULOUS YEAR. I THINK EVERY YEAR IS GOOD. I CAME IN 2008, WE BROUGHT THE GREAT RECESSION WITH US. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. YES. AND SO, I WAS HERE THROUGH THE BAD TIMES. COUNCIL: WE TURNED THE CORNER. IT WAS HARD WORK. IT TOOK… COUNCIL: SO MUCH EFFORT BY SO MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY DEDICATED, THE COUNTLESS HOURS, BUT WE ARE JUST… WE'RE POISED. I JUST KNOW THAT WE ARE POISED TO REALLY FULFILL OUR DESTINY. COUNCIL: AND I'M JUST GONNA JUST CLOSE BY SAYING THANK YOU, PENNY. COUNCIL: FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THIS. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, YOU, COUNCIL: YOU CAN'T DO THIS BY YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP, BEING UP HERE, I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IT TAKES, HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO GIVE OF YOURSELF, AND WHEN YOU GIVE OF YOURSELF TO THE COMMUNITY… COUNCIL: TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY, FRANKLY. COUNCIL: AND IT'S JUST A… IT'S A TRADE-OFF, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO, WE LOVE IT, WE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY, AND THAT'S WHY WE DO IT. COUNCIL: I LOOK FORWARD TO JUST BEING HERE AND WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND THE STAFF AND JUST MOVING THE… COUNCIL: YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, WE HAVE… COUNCIL: BIG SHOES TO FILL. AND, MAKING THAT VIDEO AND THEN WATCHING IT. COUNCIL: REALLY, SETS A EXAMPLE, KIND OF A GOLD STANDARD OF WHAT, A MAYORSHIP ROLE CAN BE WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO IT, AND… COUNCIL: ALL THE TIME, IN ADDITION TO, THE WORK AND, BEING EVERYWHERE, IT'S… COUNCIL: IT'S A LOT, AND IT IS EXHAUSTING AT TIMES, BUT WHAT I KNOW, YOU GET IN RETURN, AND THE COMMUNITY GETS IN TURN IS, IS WORTH IT. AND WE JUST SO VALUE AND APPRECIATE COUNCIL: THE LAST YEAR OF, SETTING THE STANDARD AND THE EXAMPLE FOR US, AND ALL OF US, JUST REALLY COMING TOGETHER. I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT. COUNCIL: BETTER THAN… COUNCIL: OUR, MAYOR, PEARL, THAT WE'RE A TEAM, AND, IT FEELS REALLY GREAT. I SELFISHLY DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE. WE, WE HOPE, HOLLY, TO SUCCEED IN HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS, AND FOR ALL OF US TO SUCCEED, BUT, WE'RE, WE'RE, IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE IN OUR… COUNCIL: IN OUR GROOVE. SO, I'M APPRECIATIVE OF OUR TEAM, AND I THINK EVERYBODY IS DOING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN AND MORE, AND WE'LL JUST KEEP THAT UP, AND I'M HONORED TO BE HERE WITH EVERYBODY AND BE PART OF THIS TEAM. SO, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: AGAIN, HOLLY, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE THIS YEAR. YOU REALLY HAVE SHOWN COUNCIL: WHAT A MAYOR IS ABOUT. COUNCIL: I APPRECIATE THAT, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: ON TO BUSINESS. ALL RIGHT, JOSE, BRITT. COUNCIL: YEAH. POTENTIAL MODIFICATIONS. COUNCIL: ANYONE FROM THE COUNCIL OR STAFF WANT TO PULL ANYTHING OFF THE AGENDA? YEAH, WE'RE GOOD. COUNCIL: NO PRESENTATION. COUNCIL: PERRY CALLAHAN. COUNCIL: YEAH, SO AS CARRIE COMES UP HERE, I'LL JUST SHARE, CARRIE AND I, WORK A LOT TOGETHER ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND, COUNCIL: ONE OF THE THINGS RECENTLY THAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN TERMS OF JUST SORT OF THE COMMUNITY DIALOGUE ABOUT LINCOLN'S GROWTH AND HOW THAT IMPACTS PUBLIC SERVICES, INCLUDING, AND MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY, IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. COUNCIL: IS, SOME OF THOSE GROWING PAINS, AND HOW WE HAVE CHOSEN TO TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE. AND, THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AND ATTENDING MEETINGS PROBABLY REMEMBER THE VILLAGE 7 DEAL THAT WE DID EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND, THE SUCCESS WE HOPE THAT BRINGS. COUNCIL: AND, COUNCIL: WHAT I SAID TO HER BOARD, LAST WEEK WAS THAT, IF I'M BEING INTROSPECTIVE ABOUT IT, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT I THINK MAYBE I DIDN'T DO SUCH A GOOD JOB THERE WAS THAT WHEN WE WERE COMPLETED WITH IT, I JUST KIND OF STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT, AND WE MOVED ON TO WHATEVER THE NEXT ISSUE WAS. COUNCIL: AND, IT DIDN'T REALLY GIVE THE COMMUNITY WHO DON'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME TO DEDICATE TO ALL OF THIS A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF COUNCIL: WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT, AND WHY IT WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR THE DISTRICT, AND WHY WE HOPE TO RECREATE IT ELSEWHERE. COUNCIL: AND OTHER PROJECTS. AND SO, AS SOME OF THE DISCUSSION HAS OCCURRED ABOUT REDISTRICTING IN THE DISTRICT, THERE'S BEEN SOME, WHAT I THINK WE WOULD CALL MAYBE MISINFORMATION ABOUT HOW HARD WE'RE WORKING ON TRYING TO ADDRESS, SCHOOL CAPACITY NEEDS AS A JOINT, GROUP. COUNCIL: AND SO, SHE AND I AGREED THAT I WOULD ATTEND HER BOARD MEETING, AND SHE'S NICE ENOUGH TO COME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND SPEAK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER PERSPECTIVE, SO… COUNCIL: SUPERINTENDENT CAREY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I, I FIRST WANT TO SAY, HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THAT, THAT SEAN CAME TO OUR, BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK, AND, COUNCIL: AND I APPRECIATE, THAT HE ALSO APPROACHED ME, REGARDING SOME CONCERNS, AND THAT COUNCILMAN REEDY ALSO, SCHEDULED SOME TIME WITH ME. AND SO I WANT TO GIVE JUST SOME CONTEXT, FOR THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, JUST SO THAT… COUNCIL: YOU UNDERSTAND WHY MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS HAVE MORE RECENTLY KIND OF BUBBLED. COUNCIL: YOU MAY HAVE READ SOME THINGS IN THE NEWS OF LATE, RELATED TO, THE GROWING PAINS THAT WE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE EXPERIENCING, AND SOME DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. COUNCIL: RELATED TO LINCOLN CROSSING ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY, AND THEN ALSO FIRST STREET ELEMENTARY. AND SO, IN… AND THEN, PREVIOUSLY, TO THAT, SHERIDAN ELEMENTARY, RELATED TO VILLAGE 1. AND SO… COUNCIL: WITH, WITH THOSE ISSUES, MORE OF RECENT, WE HAVE HAD A SERIES OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHERE WE HAVE EX… WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT. COUNCIL: KIND OF WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY, WHERE WE'VE BEEN IN THE PAST, AND WHERE WE, WHERE WE ARE MOVING TO THE FUTURE. AND, I WANNA, I WANNA, REINFORCE WHAT SEAN SAID RELATED TO THE PARTNERSHIP. COUNCIL: WE HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR WHEN WE HAVE MET WITH, WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT OUR PARTNERSHIP IS STRONGER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN, AND THE WORK THAT WE DID WITH VILLAGE 7 IS NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACULOUS. COUNCIL: AND, TO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE HAVE NEVER IN WESTERN PLACER UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BEEN ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A FULLY FUNDED SCHOOL IN ANY COMMUNITIES IN THIS AREA. SO, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE, THE WORK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED, AND COUNCIL: MAYOR PEARL, YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE TEAM THAT YOU HAVE, AND I COULDN'T AGREE MORE IN TERMS OF WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN MY 12 YEARS IN THE DISTRICT AND MY FIFTH YEAR NOW AS SUPERINTENDENT. COUNCIL: AND I LIKE TO CONSIDER OURSELVES, AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, AN EXTENSION OF THAT TEAM, BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER, WE ARE DOING GREAT THINGS FOR THIS COMMUNITY, AS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER. COUNCIL: OF, OF LINCOLN, IT'S, I KNOW IT'S CRITICAL FOR, FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO, AND, AND CERTAINLY FOR, WHAT, BRINGS THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER IS OUR, PUBLIC SERVICES, INCLUDING EDUCATION. AND SO, AGAIN, THAT VILLAGE 7 DEAL IS, IS AMAZING, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL. COUNCIL: THAT SAID, AS PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WITH OUR, OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE FACING NOW. COUNCIL: THEY'RE FROM THE PAST. AND, COUNCIL: AND WE'RE, WE'RE ADDRESSING ISSUES THAT, THAT WERE, A RESULT OF… COUNCIL: BIG BOOM BACK IN THE EARLY 2000S, AND NOW KIND OF AS THINGS ARE PICKING UP AND WE'RE DOING, THE INFILL, WE'VE SHARED OUR STORY IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT HAVE OCCURRED OVER, OVER THE YEARS, AND THE IMPACT THAT THAT HAS HAD ON OUR DISTRICT, IN TERMS OF OUR ABILITY TO FULLY FUND COUNCIL: SCHOOLS OR EXPAND EXISTING SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO, SUPPORT THE STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF COUNCIL: THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE. AND SO, I THINK, AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS, THERE WERE SOME COUNCIL: MISINTERPRETATIONS AS TO THE CURRENT STATUS OF WHERE WE'RE AT VERSUS WHERE WE WERE, ONCE UPON A TIME, AND SO I WANT TO PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF YOU, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER OUR INTENTION COUNCIL: FOR THERE TO BE ANY MISCONCEPTION ABOUT WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY TODAY, WHEN WE WERE EXPRESSING, KIND OF, THE HISTORY OF WHERE OUR DISTRICT HAS BEEN IN RELATIONSHIP WITH CITY DEVELOPMENT AND, FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS. SO, I JUST WANT YOU COUNCIL: TO KNOW THAT, AND SEAN SAID IT BEAUTIFULLY LAST WEEK WITH OUR SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T… COUNCIL: WE CAN'T GO BACK, WE CAN'T FIX THE PAST. ALL WE CAN DO IS LEARN FROM IT, AND MOVE FORWARD, AND DO BETTER. AND, WE, WE ARE COMMITTED TO THAT PARTNERSHIP, AND I APPRECIATE THAT WE HAD OUR 2X2 MEETING LAST WEEK. COUNCIL: AND HAD A JOINT MUTUAL AGREEMENT THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO NEGOTIATING THINGS TOGETHER, AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF STUDENTS COMING OUT OF THE DIFFERENT VILLAGES THAT ARE. COUNCIL: EARMARKED TO BE DEVELOPED, AND DEVELOPING CURRENTLY, SO… GOOD FOR THAT. COUNCIL: I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, OR… QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? COUNCIL: COMMENTS? YEP. THANKS, CARRIE. APPRECIATE THAT BREAKPOINT. THANK YOU, CARRIE. WITHOUT A DOUBT. YEAH, MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND COUNCIL: THAT THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE ORGANIZATIONS HERE, BUT WE ARE JOINED TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, IN SERVING YOUR POPULATION, WHICH IS THE YOUNGER FOLKS, AND WE'RE SERVING THE ENTIRE… WE REALLY ARE A UNITED GROUP, AND WE HAVE TO BE COUNCIL: IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS WORK, AND IT'S ESPECIALLY HARD AS WE GROW, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW FROM WHERE WE ARE, SO THE CHALLENGES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THERE, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY. COUNCIL: SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, KERRY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. ABSOLUTELY. AND BEFORE I GO, I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS, HOLLY, FOR AN INCREDIBLE YEAR, AND I ECHO EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID ABOUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE AS A MAYOR, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO RICHARD AND TO WHITNEY FOR YOUR NEXT… COUNCIL: PHASE OF THIS YEAR. THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT? COUNCIL: ANYONE ON ZOOM? COUNCIL: I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON, OUR SUPERINTENDENT MENTIONED ABOUT OUR 2X2, AND I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS LATER, BUT SINCE WE'RE ON TOPIC NOW… COUNCIL: WE DID AGREE THAT, MOVING FORWARD, THE BEST THING FOR, COMMUNICATION AND EFFICIENCY IS THAT WE WOULD, COUNCIL: WE WOULD TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE MOST AND ALL COMMUNICATIONS, GO TO OUR CITY MANAGER AND STAFF AND, SUPERINTENDENT CALLAHAN AND STAFF, AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS, BUT AS FAR AS NEGOTIATIONS AND, COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, SPECIFICS OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, THAT NEEDS TO BE BOTH OF THEM IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER SO THAT THERE ISN'T ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR MISCOMMUNICATIONS. COUNCIL: SO, YEAH, WE'RE COMMITTED TO DOING THAT. COUNCIL: THANK YOU AGAIN, CARRIE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCIL: GOOD. NEXT ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. COUNCIL: AND ALL SPEAKERS' TIME WILL BE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTES UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE MAYOR. ALL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE MAYOR, AND IN MOST CASES, THE CITY COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING OR TAKING ACTION ON ANY ITEM NOT APPEARING ON THE POSTED AGENDA, BUT MAY ENGAGE IN A BRIEF DISCUSSION, PROVIDE DIRECTION TO CITY STAFF. COUNCIL: OR SCHEDULE ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS. SO WE DO HAVE THREE THREE COMMON CARDS. COUNCIL: I WANT TO CALL FRAN NEVIS, BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS USED TO SEEING… HEARING YOU, FRAN. COUNCIL: AND WE'RE DELIGHTED TO SEE… HAVE YOU DOWN HERE JOINING US TODAY. COUNCIL: WELL, HI, I'M JUST SO GLAD I CAME DOWN HERE TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY TO HEAR THE CHOIR. COUNCIL: I'VE KNOWN SOME OF THEM SINCE THEY WERE, LIKE, IN SECOND GRADE, YOU KNOW? COUNCIL: I LOVED GOING TO THE STATE OF THE CITY, I WAS SO HAPPY I WENT TO THAT, YOU KNOW, AND COUNCIL: I'M… ONE OF THE REASONS I'M HERE TONIGHT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET THE EMAIL WITH THE CONTACT FOR THE ZOOM, AND I WENT ALL OVER THE WEBSITE, AND I COULDN'T FIND OUT HOW TO GET ON THE ZOOM, SO I FINALLY EMAILED JENNIFER AND ASKED HER TO PUT ME ON THE ZOOM, AND THEN FOUND OUT MARY WAS COMING, AND SO I'M JUST SO HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT, AND COUNCIL: YEAH, IT WAS A WONDERFUL YEAR. SO, BUT I'M HERE BECAUSE OF OAK TREE LANE AND 193, AND SUNDAY, YOU COULD SHAKE YOUR HEAD, CUT DOWN THERE! COUNCIL: PUT THIS DOWN, I WANT TO SEE YOU, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: DID YOU START BY 3 MINUTES ALREADY? PROBABLY. COUNCIL: WELL, YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME YOU GET THROUGH YOUR PLATITUDES AND JUST SAYING THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY, YOUR 3 MINUTES ARE GONE, YOU KNOW, SO YOU GOTTA SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. COUNCIL: SO SADLY, THERE WAS A REALLY BAD 3-CAR ACCIDENT AT OAK TREE LANE IN 193. COUNCIL: AND, COUNCIL: IF YOU GO DOWN 193 AT ALL, JOEY MITCHELL DRIVE, HE'S PROBABLY TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE, BUT YOU'LL SEE ALL THESE TIRE MARKS ON THE WHITE BARRIERS, YOU KNOW, WHERE CARS… IT'S SO NARROW THERE. THEY EVEN HAVE A SIGN NOW, IT SAYS NARROW LANE. AND THOSE BARRIERS ARE ON PAVEMENT. THEY COULD BE MOVED OVER. THERE'S A LANE THERE. COUNCIL: AND I MYSELF WAS COMING OUT OF LINCOLN CHRISTIAN ACADEMY ON WEDNESDAY, AND THERE WAS A FLAGMAN THERE, AND ALL THE CARS GOING EAST WERE STOPPED, AND HE FLAGGED ME TO TURN LEFT, COME TO TOWN, AND I CAME OUT THERE, AND I COULDN'T TURN. I HAD TO TELL THE CAR, PUT MY WINDOW DOWN, ASK THE CAR TO MOVE BACK, SO I COULD TURN LEFT. COUNCIL: NOW, THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. THAT'S SO DANGEROUS, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN OAK TREE LANE. COUNCIL: SO I WANTED TO MENTION THAT. YESTERDAY, AND ANITA, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO, SAID, PG&E SAID, THERE WOULD BE SIGNAL POLLS THERE ON DECEMBER 8TH, YESTERDAY, RIGHT? COUNCIL: AND NO LIGHTS, BUT NO POLES. WELL, GUESS WHAT? THERE'S NO POLES THERE TODAY. BUT YESTERDAY, THERE WERE SO MANY CARS AND TRUCKS THERE, I COULD… I STOPPED COUNTING. THEY WERE ALL IN THE LINCOLN CHRISTIAN LIVING CENTER PARKING LOT. THEY WERE ON BOTH SIDES OF OAK TREE LANE, BOTH SIDES OF 193. COUNCIL: JUST CARS, UNDERGROUND PEOPLE, PG&E PEOPLE. I MEAN, THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THERE, YOU COULD HARDLY GET DOWN OAK TREE LANE. I GO THERE ABOUT 5 TIMES A WEEK. COUNCIL: SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT. COUNCIL: SO, YESTERDAY WAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY IN OUR CHURCH. COUNCIL: AND WE HAD AN EVENING SERVICE PLANNED, AND IT'S LIKE SUNDAY, SO THERE WAS GONNA BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE. AND WE HAD TO CANCEL IT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE DAY PG&E PUT THE POWER OUT. COUNCIL: SO, MANY OF OUR PARISHIONERS WENT TO ROCKLAND AND ROSEVILLE JUST LAST NIGHT, OKAY? COUNCIL: AND THEN, I'M ALMOST… COUNCIL: SO, WHAT I WANT, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE FRANKIE HERE, BECAUSE WHEN I ASK THE CITY, THEY SAY, WELL, IT'S THE DEVELOPER, YOU KNOW? COUNCIL: BECAUSE THERE IS A RIGHT TURN LANE FROM OAK TREE LANE TO 193 EAST. COUNCIL: AND ALL THEY'RE USING IT FOR IS PARKING. THAT WOULD REALLY, REALLY HELP US COMING OUT OF THERE. COUNCIL: AND I DON'T… ANYBODY WHO GOES UP AND DOWN THERE AND WONDERS, WHY ISN'T THAT LANE OPEN? COUNCIL: SO I'M ASKING YOU TO IMMEDIATELY, TOMORROW, GET DOWN THERE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AND GET THAT RIGHT TURN LANE OPEN, AT LEAST. THAT WOULD REALLY HELP. COUNCIL: AND LINCOLN LIVING CENTER, THEY HAVE A HUGE LIGHT IN THEIR PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, AND I DON'T SEE WHY THE CITY CAN'T PUT SOME KIND OF LIGHT OUT THERE ON THAT CORNER. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, TEMPORARY LIGHT OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE… COUNCIL: YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE GOING UP AND DOWN, THAT STREET, JUST ALL THE TIME. LET ME BREAK IN FOR A SECOND AND ASK SEAN TO, TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE POINTS YOU'RE MAKING, BUT THANK YOU. HI, FRAN. I WAS, EXCITED BECAUSE I WAS WAITING… I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST PART, AND THEN I WENT OAK TREE LANE, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WAS COMING UP. COUNCIL: SO ACTUALLY, I HAVE SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU, IF THAT'S OKAY. SO, JUST TO BE REALLY BLUNT AND CANDID ABOUT THIS PROJECT… COUNCIL: TONY KNOWS IT, OUR ENGINEERING TEAM KNOWS IT. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PAIN. INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AND SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS ARE NOT EXACTLY, LIKE, CUTTING EDGE. THEY'RE DONE, AND SO IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING THAT… COUNCIL: IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS IS YOU GET VERY FRUSTRATED, BECAUSE MANY TIMES YOU DO HAVE TOTAL CONTROL TO GET THE THING YOU WANT COMPLETED, AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU DON'T. AND IN THIS CASE… COUNCIL: PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC HAS REALLY COUNCIL: PUT US IN A ROUGH POSITION WITH REGARD TO, KIND OF, THE TIMELINESS OF WHEN THEY CAN DELIVER WHAT THEY NEED TO DELIVER SO THAT WE CAN DO THE REST OF THE WORK, OR THE CONTRACTORS CAN. COUNCIL: SO, COUNCIL: AFTER THE LAST MEETING AND LOOKING AT THE PROJECT SCHEDULE MOVING FORWARD, THE CITY ENGINEER AND I SAT DOWN, AND WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WE CAN'T CONTROL THE SCHEDULE AS IT RELATES TO PG&E, BUT WHAT WE CAN CONTROL IS HOW THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROADWAY FEEL AND LOOK COUNCIL: FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE BEFORE IT'S COMPLETED. COUNCIL: SO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE, AND TONY'S WORKING ON THIS CURRENTLY. COUNCIL: IS WE'RE GOING TO REVERT BACK FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL THE WORK THAT'S NECESSARY IS COMPLETED TO A THREE-WAY STOP AT THAT INTERSECTION. SO THERE WILL BE A STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF OAK TREE LANE ON 193, AND ALSO THE ONE THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY ON OAK TREE. COUNCIL: AND SO… LEFTS OUT, RIGHTS OUT. COUNCIL: WILL BE A LOT EASIER FOR THE PARISHIONERS AND EVERYONE. IT WILL SLOW TRAFFIC A LITTLE BIT ON 193 DURING… COUNCIL: CONGESTED TIMES, BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, IT WILL CREATE A SLOWER, WE HOPE, A SLOWER ENVIRONMENT SO THAT PEOPLE FEEL SAFE LEFTING OUT OF THAT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, I DON'T… I HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED, BUT COUNCIL: WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT ADDRESSING THE K-RAIL SEPARATION. WHAT I WILL SAY ABOUT THAT, THOUGH, JUST TO BE FRANK, IS, COUNCIL: THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL DECISION. IF I ASK EVERYBODY TO ASK ME ABOUT THIS, WHEN YOU DRIVE ALONG A K-RAIL ALONG, A STATE COUNCIL: FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY, DO YOU DRIVE FASTER? AND EVERYBODY ANSWERS THE SAME WAY. NO, OF COURSE NOT, BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL AS SAFE, BECAUSE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, 12 INCHES OF CONCRETE, 12 INCHES FROM MY RIGHT DOOR. COUNCIL: RIGHT? COUNCIL: THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE IT IS CONDENSED SO THAT THEY'RE FORCED TO SLOW DOWN, BECAUSE THE BIGGER CONCERN IS NOT SOMEONE DINGING THE K-RAIL, THE BIGGER CONCERN IS SOMEONE COMING DOWN… COUNCIL: 193 AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE CURVE, AND YOU'RE TAKING A LEFT HAND OUT, AND YOU'RE T-BONED, AND THEN THE ACCENT BECOMES REAL SERIOUS. SO THE SHORT-TERM SOLUTION IS… COUNCIL: AND ALWAYS STOP THERE, AND THEN ONCE THE ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN THE GROUND AND ENERGIZED, THEY'LL COMPLETE THE REMAINDER OF THE UNDERGROUND WORK THEY NEED TO DO, AND THEN UP GO THE LIGHT STANDARDS, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE COUNCIL: REMOVING THOSE STOP SIGNS AND JUST GOING TO A STANDARD SIGNAL THERE. SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA PUT A STOP SIGN ON 193. CORRECT. COUNCIL: OKAY, AND YOU COULDN'T OPEN THE RIGHT TURN LANE? COUNCIL: WELL, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN, SO IT WILL BE NO DIFFERENT. I'D LIKE SOMEBODY TO GO LOOK DOWN THERE, BECAUSE YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE LANE GOING RIGHT OR LEFT, BUT YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT TURN LANES IN THERE, AND YOU CAN'T USE THEM. COUNCIL: YEP. COUNCIL: SO… COUNCIL: WILL DO. ANYBODY WHO LOOKS AT IT THINKS… I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE HAPPIER ABOUT THIS. HUH? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE HAPPIER ABOUT THIS. WELL… COUNCIL: WELL, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: YOU'RE WELCOME. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU, FRAN, AND TONY, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP WHEN YOU SAW THAT FRAN WAS GONNA BE HERE ALSO. WOULD YOU LIKE, TONY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING? SHE'S THERE FOR ME, BUT… COUNCIL: YES, THANK YOU. COUNCIL: OKAY. WHATEVER DISCUSSED WAS GREAT. I JUST WANT TO ADD ABOUT THE K-RAILS, BECAUSE INTUITIVELY, WE SAY, OKAY, LET'S MOVE THEM OUT A COUPLE FEET. COUNCIL: BUT THE INTENT OF THOSE K-RAILS IS TO ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHILE THEY'RE TRENCHING ON THE NORTH SIDE. SO THE GOAL IS TO TRENCH, FINISH THE IMPROVEMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE, AND THEN THEY START PAVING, AND THEN WHEN THAT WORK IS DONE, THEY MOVE THE K-RAIL, AND THEY WILL FLIP THE TRAFFIC. SO THIS IS GONNA BE… COUNCIL: A STEP PROCESS. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, CORRECT, IN DECEMBER OR SOONER, AND PG&E TOOK 6-8 MONTHS TO GET HERE. COUNCIL: BUT NOW, EVERYBODY'S SEEING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEIRS, THEY'RE DOING IT. COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, WE DID DISCUSS THE KRL, BUT AGAIN, OUR RECOMMENDATION, KEEP THEM IN PLACE WITH STOP SIGN. IT SLOWS EVERYBODY DOWN. WE'LL HAVE A WARNING FURTHER OUT, THAT STOP SIGN AHEAD, AND HOPEFULLY IT ALLOWS THEM TO CONTINUE WORKING THROUGH WINTER, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE WEATHER, BUT… COUNCIL: THE PROGRESS WILL CONTINUE FROM HERE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, TONY. COUNCIL: IT'S NOT THE PROBLEM AT OAK TREE LANE, THE CALIC IS THAT WHERE THE ESPLANADE IS. BRANT, IF YOU COULD JUST… IF YOU WANT TO TALK AFTERWARD, DON'T SEE SEAN, WE'RE GOOD FOR THAT, OBVIOUSLY. THANK YOU. LOOK OUT. COUNCIL: NEXT UP, STAN NADER. COUNCIL: MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS STAN NADER, AND I LIVE IN THE 12 BRIDGES AREA. COUNCIL: I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT. COUNCIL: REGARDING THE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC, THAT THE COMMUNITY IS EXPERIENCING THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. COUNCIL: WHEN MY WIFE AND I LEAVE OUR HOME. COUNCIL: AND TRAVEL TO OUR APPOINTED DESTINATION. COUNCIL: WE PRAY THAT WE WILL REMAIN SAFE. COUNCIL: AND THAT WE WILL RETURN HOME IN ONE PIECE. COUNCIL: DRIVER'S INCIVILITY IS ON THE RISE. COUNCIL: FROM TAILGATING, CUTTING DRIVERS OFF, RUNNING STOPLIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, AND SPEEDING. COUNCIL: IT IS NOT A SAFE WORLD OUT THERE. COUNCIL: FOIL BRIDGES DRIVE SHOULD BE RENAMED 12 BRIDGES SPEEDWAY. COUNCIL: I HAVE WITNESSED… LINCOLN BOULEVARD TRAFFIC NORTHBOUND. COUNCIL: BACKED UP FROM 1ST STREET TO FERRARI RANCH BOULEVARD. COUNCIL: SOUTHBOUND FROM 1ST STREET, TO 5TH STREET. COUNCIL: I KNOW THE CITY IS DESIRING. COUNCIL: TO ENCOURAGE LINCOLN RESIDENTS TO… SHOPPED DOWNTOWN. COUNCIL: BUT WHEN IT'S DIFFICULT TO TRAVERSE THE CITY. COUNCIL: AND LET ALONE FIND A PARKING SPOT. COUNCIL: CITIZENS ARE LIKELY TO LEAVE THE CITY AND DO THEIR SHOPPING ELSEWHERE. COUNCIL: UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS LITTLE THE CITY CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. COUNCIL: THE CITY, STATES, THEY HAVE PROJECTS SCHEDULED FOR… JOYNER PARKWAY. COUNCIL: AND FRAIRIE RANCH ROAD. COUNCIL: BUT THESE WILL DO LITTLE TO REDUCE THE CONGESTION ON LINCOLN BOULEVARD. COUNCIL: I THINK ONE THING THAT WOULD HELP COUNCIL: TO INCREASE THE CIVILITY OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC. COUNCIL: WOULD BE TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC OFFICERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. COUNCIL: I REALIZE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS SEVERELY CONSTRAINED AT THIS POINT. COUNCIL: IN TIME. COUNCIL: TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. COUNCIL: IN A RECENT DEPARTMENT UPDATE, IT WAS STATED THAT ADA… OF THE 16 POLICE CARS. COUNCIL: ARE IN POOR CONDITION AND NEED REPLACING. COUNCIL: AND WITH THE INCREASED POPULATION GROWTH. COUNCIL: OF THE COMMUNITY, A NEW POLICE STATION NEEDS TO BE BUILT. COUNCIL: THIS IS WHY INCREASING THE CITY'S TAX BASE IS SO CRITICAL. COUNCIL: IMPLEMENTING… IMPLEMENTING BUSINESS-FRIENDLY PRACTICES. COUNCIL: AND INSTITUTING AN AGGRESSIVE PROGRAM TO ATTRACT BUSINESSES, TO LOCATE IN THE CITY, IS SO IMPORTANT. COUNCIL: I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WORK COUNCIL: THAT THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. COUNCIL: COMMITTEE. COUNCIL: WILL DO TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IMPORTANT WORK. THANK YOU. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, STAN. COUNCIL: LAST CARD, JASON DAGGART. COUNCIL: YES, JASON? COUNCIL: GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY STAFF. SO I'VE BEEN COMING TO THESE MEETINGS FOR SOME TIME, SOME TIME, AND DESPITE SOME OF MY CRITICISMS, I GENUINELY AM ROOTING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY TO IMPROVE AND BE BETTER FOR US. COUNCIL: I KNOW SOMETIMES I CAN COME OFF AS A TOWN PESSIMIST. I DON'T WANT TO BE. COUNCIL: ALL THAT SAID, RECENTLY I SAW AN ARTICLE ONLINE ANNOUNCING THE GROUNDBREAKING OF A NEW SHOPPING CENTER ON FERRARI RANCH AND LINCOLN BOULEVARD. I WAS ACTUALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE CITY WAS BRINGING IN. COUNCIL: IMAGINE MY DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN I SAW THE LIST OF COUNCIL: PLANNED TENANTS. A GROCERY STORE, WHICH THAT'LL MAKE 4 ON THE SAME ROAD, WITHIN A MILE. A GAS STATION, THAT MAKES 7, WITHIN A ONE AND A HALF MILE STRETCH OF THE SAME ROAD. COUNCIL: A CAR WASH WITH THE SAME COMPANY, WHICH THE SAME COMPANY HAS ANOTHER LOCATION THAT I WOULDN'T EXACTLY SAY IS BOOMING, LESS THAN A HALF A MILE AWAY, AND A STARBUCKS, WHICH MAKES 3 AT THAT SAME INTERSECTION, 5 WITHIN A MILE, AND APPROXIMATELY 11 TEEN IN THE CITY. COUNCIL: NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER SANDWICH SHOP AND A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. THE ARTICLE HAD A QUOTE, ABOUT HOW MUCH REVENUE THAT THESE BUSINESSES WOULD BRING IN FOR POLICE, FIRE, ETC, ETC. COUNCIL: I'M NOT SURE OF THE MATH THAT'S BEING USED THERE. EXCUSE ME. COUNCIL: BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO INCREASE TAX REVENUE, WE NEED TO INCREASE THE SHOPPING BASE. COUNCIL: I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS WOULD DRAW A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF LINCOLN TO SHOP HERE, AS THEY'RE JUST SHOPPING OPTIONS. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SHIFTING THE REVENUE MADE AT 3 GROCERY STORES AND SPREADING IT AMONG 4, 6 GAS STATIONS AT 7, COUNCIL: 11 TEEN STARBUCKS TO 11 TEEN AND ONE, ETC. NOT INCREASING THE REVENUE. THE QUOTE I DO AGREE WITH WAS MADE BY A RESIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN RESPONSE TO THIS ARTICLE THAT SAID, YEP, WE'RE STILL GOING TO… COUNCIL: HAVE TO GO TO ROCKLAND AND ROSEVILLE. COUNCIL: WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS THIS YEAR, AND IN THE YEARS PAST, WHERE THE CITY STAFF HAS SHOWED HOW LITTLE OUR TAX REVENUE COMES FROM SALES TAX, AND THE CITY'S IDEA WAS TO PUT IN MORE OF THE SAME BUSINESSES WE ALREADY HAVE. COUNCIL: WE ALL KNOW THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY. COUNCIL: AND USING LINCOLN BOULEVARD AS AN EXAMPLE. COUNCIL: THERE'S NOT EVEN A RESTAURANT THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT'S OPEN PAST 9 O'CLOCK THAT'S NOT FAST FOOD. COUNCIL: AND WE HAVE A HOTEL IN TOWN. IF YOU'RE A TRAVELER IN ONE OF THOSE HOTELS, AND YOU HAPPEN TO GET HERE PAST 9 O'CLOCK, WHERE DO YOU EAT? COUNCIL: YOU GET A BIG MAC. THAT'S ABOUT ALL YOU… THAT'S ABOUT ALL YOU GET. JACK IN THE BOX WITH THEM 24 HOURS. COUNCIL: LOST MY SPONSOR… OH, SO WE HAVE BUSINESSES THAT MAKE LINCOLN, LIKE A DRIVE-THROUGH TOWN, WHERE YOU CAN GET SOME GAS, GET A BIG MAC, GET BACK ON THE ROAD, AND THEN WE WONDER WHY NOBODY WANTS TO SHOP HERE. COUNCIL: YOU WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY DOWNTOWN, AND I AGREE, THEY SHOULD, BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THEM HERE FIRST, AND LIKE IT OR NOT, LARGE CHAIN SHOPPING BUSINESSES ARE THE ANCHORS THAT BRING PEOPLE IN. I DON'T GO SHOP IN ROSEVILLE BECAUSE I LOVE THE TRAFFIC AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL SCENIC VIEWS OF HIGHWAY 65 TO GET THERE. I SHOP THERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE LARGE STORES ARE AT. COUNCIL: AND I DO THINK SHOPPING OPTIONS ARE… CAN BE GOOD, ALTHOUGH MAYBE PUT THEM ON MORE THAN JUST THE ONE ROAD, LINCOLN BOULEVARD, TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON AN ALREADY CONGESTED INTERSECTION AND ROAD. COUNCIL: BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THESE NEW SHOPPING CENTERS ARE GOING TO HAVE ANY MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON OUR GENERAL FUND SHORTFALLS. IT MIGHT SOUND GOOD FOR THE PAPERS, BUT TO ME, IT SEEMS SIMPLY AS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SAKE OF DEVELOPMENT. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JASON. COUNCIL: HOPE DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON ZOOM? COUNCIL: COMMENT ONTO CONSENT CALENDAR? COUNCIL: ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS OR STAFF WANT TO PULL ANYTHING? COUNCIL: OKAY. COUNCIL: A PUBLIC COMMENT? COUNCIL: ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. COUNCIL: COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? COUNCIL: SECOND. I'LL SECOND. COUNCIL: ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. COUNCIL: AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? COUNCIL: GOOD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL: OKAY… NO PUBLIC HEARINGS, ON TO GENERAL BUSINESS. COUNCIL: 11A, ADOPT A RESOLUTION ALLOCATING THE REMAINING ARPA FUNDS TO THE DOWNTOWN LINCOLN ASSOCIATION, DLA, TO SUPPORT THE DOWNTOWN BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS. ERIN, IS SHE… COUNCIL: ERIN IS, OUT ILL THIS EVENING, SO I'M GOING TO PINCH HIT FOR HER, AND I WORKED ON THIS WITH HER, SO I THINK I CAN. COUNCIL: SO, WE HAD, SOME REMAINING, COUNCIL: AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT DOLLARS, THAT… COUNCIL: COUNCIL MAY REMEMBER THAT MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PERIOD LAST… COUNCIL: WELL, ALMOST 4 YEARS. COUNCIL HAS DONE SOMETHING I'M REALLY PROUD OF, WHICH IS THAT MANY PLACES SIMPLY TOOK THAT MONEY AND DUMPED IT INTO THEIR GENERAL FUND AND USED IT LIKE YOU MIGHT USE A TAX RETURN OR SOMETHING. YOU JUST USE IT AS YOU USE IT. COUNCIL: AND, MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CITY COUNCILS AT THIS POINT TOOK A MORE BROAD VIEW OF THAT AND DECIDED TO EMPLOY IT STRATEGICALLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 4 YEARS FOR THINGS… THE COMMENT THAT I THINK HOLLY MADE MANY YEARS AGO WAS TO TRY TO TARGET IT TOWARDS THINGS WE OTHERWISE COULDN'T REASONABLY AFFORD TO DO. COUNCIL: AND SO WE'VE STUCK TO THAT FOR ALL OF THIS TIME. AND THAT GOES TO… COUNCIL: BOLSTERING UP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND MAKING SOME TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND, COUNCIL: BUSINESS ASSISTANCE, AND NONPROFIT GRANT ASSISTANCE, AND PARKS, AND ARTS, AND ON AND ON AND ON. SO WE'RE NOW DOWN TO THE LAST, JUST UNDER $200,000, AND… COUNCIL: WE… I'VE BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL IN… COUNCIL: GIVING OUT THESE DOLLARS TO NONPROFITS OR OTHER PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC SERVICE TO, TO THE CITY OF LINCOLN, AND THERE WERE TWO IDEAS THAT REMAINED, ON HOW TO USE THAT. COUNCIL: AND, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO, BUT WE THOUGHT THESE TWO STRATEGIC THINGS KIND OF SCRATCHED AN ITCH THAT HADN'T BEEN SCRATCHED BEFORE. THE, FIRST THIS EVENING IS, COUNCIL: THE, A MEMBER OF THE DLA CAME AND WAS A SPOTLIGHT SPEAKER AT THE EDC A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO. COUNCIL: AND AT THE END OF THE MEETING. COUNCIL: HER PRESENTATION, THE QUESTION WAS ASKED, WELL, WHAT KINDS OF THINGS CAN WE DO TO HELP SUPPORT DOWNTOWN MORE THAT WE'RE NOT ALREADY DOING? AND SHE WAS A VERY POSITIVE PERSON, AND SHE SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANYTHING, IT WOULD BE NICE TO SORT OF BEAUTIFY DOWNTOWN MORE THAN IT IS. COUNCIL: MAYBE THAT MEANS ADDITIONAL PLANTING, MAYBE THAT MEANS ADDITIONAL, ART INSTALLATIONS IN THE DOWNTOWN. IT COULD TAKE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FORMS. AND SO, WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH, THE DLA AND RANDY JOHNSON, WHO I THINK IS HERE THIS EVENING, IN HIS SANTA BEARD, AND, COUNCIL: WE KICKED AROUND THE IDEA THAT IF WE WERE TO SEED SOME MONEY TO THE DLA, WOULD THE DLA BE WILLING TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT PROJECT HERE IN THE DOWNTOWN? WHICH, IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND LINCOLN LONG ENOUGH, YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN RANDY WITH HIS WATER BACKPACK ON GOING AROUND. COUNCIL: WATERING ALL OF THE PLANTS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WE'VE WORKED OVER TIME TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THAT AND COME UP WITH SOME BETTER IRRIGATION SOLUTIONS, BUT REALLY WHAT IT NEEDS IS A BIT OF A FACELIFT. SO INITIALLY. COUNCIL: WE HAD ABOUT $25,000 LEFT, IN THE BUCKET, AND SO… COUNCIL: WE WERE GOING TO PROPOSE… IN FACT, IN THE REPORT, IT PROPOSES TO CEDE THAT TO THE DLA, AND THEY'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH A PROJECT DOWNTOWN, OR A SERIES OF THEM. COUNCIL: SINCE THEN, ONE OF OUR ELECTEDS, WHO I THINK WILL, PROBABLY TAKE THIS AFTER I'M DONE, SUGGESTED THAT, THE SUBSEQUENT ITEM AFTER THIS IS SOME MONEY THAT, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEED TOWARDS THE PCCP FOR AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT LATER. AND, COUNCIL: THE QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED TO ME DURING AGENDA PREPS WAS, IS $25,000 REALLY ENOUGH TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA? AND, YOU KNOW, WHO'S TO SAY, RIGHT? COUNCIL: WE DID ALL AGREE THAT $50,000 IS CERTAINLY A GOOD START TO SOME MEANINGFUL CHANGE, AND SO, STAFF IS FULLY SUPPORTIVE. COUNCIL WOULD NEED TO MAKE THIS MOTION, BUT WE WOULD BE FULLY SUPPORTIVE IF YOU WANTED TO COUNCIL: REDUCE $25,000 FROM ITEM 11B, AND THEREFORE ADD IT INTO 11A, MAKING IT A $50,000 SEED TO THE DOWNTOWN LINCOLN ASSOCIATION FOR DOWNTOWN BEAUTIFICATION. AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER, AND I'M SURE RANDY WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HIS IDEAS ARE, TOO, IF YOU'D LIKE. COUNCIL: MAY I… COUNCIL: YEAH, SO THANK YOU, SEAN, FOR THAT. YEAH, WE ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT THE 50, AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THAT. AND THEN LATER THE CONVERSATION WAS, IT WAS 25, AND SO I DID REQUEST, AND I THINK WHITNEY WAS… WE WERE IN AGENDA PREP TOGETHER, AND COUNCIL: AND SHE WAS ON THE SAME PAGE, SO I'M HOPING THAT THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WILL BE OKAY WITH THAT. I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH TAKING COUNCIL: THE MONEY OUT OF THE NEXT ITEM, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO DO MUCH FOR THAT EITHER, BUT IT WILL DO A LOT FOR THE DLA. YOU KNOW, WE PARTNERED WITH THE CHAMBER, WE'VE GIVEN THEM, YOU KNOW, SOME FUNDS. COUNCIL: AND WE DID… WHEN WE HAD ALL OF OUR ARPA MONEY, WE DID THE NONPROFITS, AND WE DID THE BUSINESSES, BUT THE DLA DOES A LOT OF WORK FOR DOWNTOWN, AND THEY ARE BUSY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA AND TRYING REALLY HARD TO BRING COUNCIL: TRAFFIC AND BUSINESS, AND THEY DO EVENTS, AND THEY'RE JUST WORKING REALLY HARD, SO MY THOUGHT AND MY WISH IS TO JUST GIVE THEM THE 50, LET THEM TAKE THAT CHUNK AND DO SOMETHING REALLY MEANINGFUL WITH IT. SO, I WOULD APPRECIATE A VOTE ON THAT. HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT TECHNICALLY? COUNCIL: IF YOU, IF THAT MOTION IS MADE AND THE COUNCIL APPROVES IT, WE WILL MARK IT AS 50 HERE, AND THEN WE WILL JUST SIMPLY DEDUCT WHATEVER THE TOTAL IS, SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT, BUT THE TOTAL IS FROM THE SECOND ITEM. COUNCIL: MAKING A MOTION. YEAH, I'LL… YEAH, I MEAN, IF WE'RE READY FOR THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE… THAT WE MAKE THIS AN EVEN 50, AND TAKE IT FROM THE SECOND ITEM. OPEN UP PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST BEFORE WE GO THERE. COUNCIL: ANY… ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE? COUNCIL: ANYONE… OOPS, I'M SORRY, RANDY. YAY! COUNCIL: THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. I DIDN'T COME IN TO GIVE A SPEECH, BUT I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT COUNCIL: WHEN I SAW IT WAS $24,000, WE WERE GRATEFUL, DON'T GET ME WRONG. COUNCIL: WE HAD HOPES OF A LITTLE BIT MORE, WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS, AND FOR SOME OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE, OBVIOUSLY THE 50'S NOT GOING TO TOUCH IT, BECAUSE WE'RE DREAMERS. WE WANT THIS TO BE PHENOMENAL DOWNTOWN, WE WANT IT TO BE THE PLACE TO GO, WHICH IT'S GOING TO BE. COUNCIL: BUT WITH THE COLLABORATION WE HAVE WITH THE CITY, THE CHAMBER, THE DOWNTOWN LINCOLN ASSOCIATION. COUNCIL: WE'RE GONNA ACCOMPLISH A LOT. YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME THINGS CHANGE. THAT'S ENOUGH SEED MONEY, LIKE SEAN SAYS, THAT WE CAN MAKE SOME DIFFERENCES. COUNCIL: WE CAN START SOME THINGS AND MAKE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE, THIS IS THE… PEOPLE ARE GONNA FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY, AND MAYBE STEP UP AND BE MORE PARTICIPATING WITH US, SO WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. COUNCIL: AS I REPRESENT THE BOARD FOR THE DOWNTOWN LINCOLN ASSOCIATION, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE IT. WE'VE GOT A GREAT TEAMWORK GOING. SEAN, YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE THINGS EARLIER THAT COUNCIL: I MIGHT BE KNOWN AS A DOWNTOWN WHINER, MORE SO THAN FRAN, EVEN, A LITTLE BIT. COUNCIL: BUT, PUBLIC WORKS, MATT, I GOTTA GIVE YOUR BOYS CREDIT. COUNCIL: WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG, WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF ATTENTION. COUNCIL: FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN, I BRING IT UP, YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF IT. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS GO OUT, YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF IT. SOME OF THE WATERING AND LANDSCAPING GOES OUT, YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF IT. SO, SOME MORE GRAFFITI SHOWS UP THAN I'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF IT. SO, THAT STUFF'S NOTED, AND THIS GROUP, THIS TEAM, TAKES CARE OF THAT STUFF, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. THANK YOU, RANDY. COUNCIL: VERY WELL, VERY WELL SAID. ANYONE ELSE WISHING, IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? COUNCIL: OKAY, HOPE, ANYONE ONLINE? COUNCIL: OKAY, VERY GOOD. BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR COMMENTS. COUNCIL: HI, I AGREE. I WAS IN THE MEETING WHERE WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS PRELIMINARILY, AND I THINK THAT 50 COULD GO A LOT FURTHER FOR THE DLA. I KNOW WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF PRESENTATIONS, AND… COUNCIL: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME FLOWER PROJECTS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, SELF-WATERING, AND THINGS THAT COULD REALLY GO A LONG WAY TO BRING BEAUTIFICATION DOWN HERE, AND, COUNCIL: AND SO I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT, AND, WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THE… MOTION. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCIL: HOPE, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE. COUNCIL: JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR, LET'S, MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING 11A, WE'RE ADDING $25,000. COUNCIL: 116. OH, SORRY, 116, SO THAT'S… 25,116. SO THAT'S THE TOTAL. THAT'S THE… THAT'S THE SHIFT. COUNCIL: GOTCHA. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR, SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON, AND THAT WHEN YOU VOTE ON 11B, THAT 11B IS CONTINGENT. COUNCIL: UPON 11A'S SUCCESS. COUNCIL: WE'LL JUST CALL IT CHOCOLATES UP TO ROOKIE MISTAKE, HOW'S THAT? COUNCIL: HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? TECHNICALLY, YOU COULD VOTE ON BOTH OF THESE TOGETHER AS ONE ITEM, BECAUSE THEY'RE… IT'S BOTH ARPA FUNDS AND… COUNCIL: IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE AS ONE RESOLUTION, FRANKLY. COUNCIL: I'M GOOD WITH THAT. COMBINING? COUNCIL: DO IT. COUNCIL: WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO A QUICK REPORT ON 11B? OKAY, COUNCIL: ONE MOMENT. OKAY, SO, WHAT IS PROPOSED, THE SECOND BUCKET OF MONEY, WHICH NOW, WITH THE $25,116 GOING TO MAKE IT $50 TOTAL FOR THE DLA, COUNCIL: THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE THAT THE REMAINDER, WHICH IS $182,777, AM I RIGHT? COUNCIL: I DID THAT RIGHT UP HERE WITH MY CALCULATOR. COUNCIL: THAT AMOUNT WAS, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY TRICKY, BECAUSE, THE MISNOMER IS THAT THERE'S A MAGIC WAND THAT WE CAN WAVE THAT GETS US WHAT WE WANT. AND, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT, COUNCIL: THERE'S SOME VERY STRICT RULES ABOUT GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS, AND SO IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR US TO ATTRACT A VARIETY OF RETAILERS JUST BY THROWING MONEY OUT THERE, BECAUSE REALLY, THESE ARE MONEY DECISIONS VERSUS ANYTHING ELSE. THERE IS NO… COUNCIL: REPOSITORY OF RETAILERS THAT YOU GO AND REQUEST TO COME IN. THIS IS ALL MARKET-RELATED. COUNCIL: AND, SO WE WERE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE TO GET SOME OF THESE RETAILERS THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT. COUNCIL: WHEN WE DON'T HAVE COUNCIL: A WHOLE LOT TO GIVE, LEGALLY OR OTHERWISE. SO ONE IDEA THAT AARON ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH WAS COUNCIL: ON GREENFIELD PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE LARGE SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH YOU WILL BE SEEING AFTER THE NEW YEAR AT NELSON AND 65, WHICH IS… COUNCIL: THE FERRARI RANCH PROJECT IS ABOUT 70,000 SQUARE FEET. COUNCIL: ONE TENANT IN THE NELSON AND 65 SHOPPING CENTER IS, OVER 150,000 SQUARE FEET, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VERY LARGE… COUNCIL: COMMERCIAL PROJECT. SOME OF THESE REALLY LARGE GREENFIELD PROJECTS, ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION THAT'S REQUIRED, JUST AS THE WAY IT IS. AND THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION FOR DEVELOPERS THAT ARE DEVELOPING THAT LAND, WHETHER IT BE, ENDANGERED SPECIES OR WETLANDS. COUNCIL: ALL OF THEM HAVE SOME MECHANISM WHEREBY DEVELOPERS HAVE TO ESSENTIALLY PAY MONEY INTO BANKS THAT THEN GO MITIGATE ELSEWHERE SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD ON YOUR PROPERTY, AND SUCH IS DEVELOPMENT IN CALIFORNIA. COUNCIL: SO, THE IDEA WE HAD WAS… COUNCIL: THAT WHILE WE WOULD STRUGGLE TO JUST SIMPLY GIVE A DEVELOPER MONEY TO SATISFY THAT, WHAT WE… WE CAN'T DO THAT. WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN PUT MONEY ON CREDIT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, WITH THE PLACER COUNTY CONSERVATION PROGRAM, WHICH GOVERNS A LOT OF THAT. COUNCIL: AND, COUNCIL: PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL, IF YOU SO CHOOSE, ON A REALLY SPECIAL PROJECT THAT YOU VIEW AS AN IMMENSE PUBLIC BENEFIT. COUNCIL: SO IT COULD BE A HUGE RETAILER THAT'S REALLY GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR US FROM A SALES TAX PERSPECTIVE, IT COULD BE AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPER THAT IS GOING TO BRING JOBS, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. COUNCIL: THE CITY COUNCIL COULD CHOOSE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE TO ACTIVATE THOSE DOLLARS AS, OFFSETTING, THEIR COSTS THAT THEY WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT BUDGET. AND SO, WILL IT… COUNCIL: CHANGE THE

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a 5-year Contract for Services with Azteca Systems, LLC, Cityworks for Software for Public Works for a Total Amount Not-to-Exceed $667,200. (Jennifer Brown) SUBMITTED BY: Jennifer Brown DEPARTMENT: Information Technology DATE: December 9, 2025 Item Number 9.B STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a 5 year Contract for Services with an option to extend for two additional 5 year terms with Azteca Systems, LLC – Cityworks, an asset management/maintenance/work order (CMMS) software for Public Works for a total amount not-to-exceed $667,200 which includes a 20 percent contingency for additional users or modules due to growth and needs. BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: In February 2024, Council approved a contract to implement Cityworks AMS Premium for the Public Works department. The implementation was completed in the Spring of 2025. Since the rollout, Trimble, the parent company, has launched a new platform called Trimble Unity. They will be ending the support of Cityworks AMS and are providing a no cost migration and discounted first and second year on the new product. FINDINGS/ANALYSIS: Staff is aware that transitioning to a new software platform so soon after implementing a new one is disruptive and inefficient. In this case, we were unaware of the short product timeline and unable to transition directly to the new platform. To proactively surface any potential deal breakers, staff tested the new platform in a sandbox environment that Trimble provided for our use. Staff has also begun preparing for the migration including training documentation to ensure a more seamless transition. FISCAL IMPACT: The Public Works software migration and renewal would use funds from the FY25/27 approved budget for software renewal. Renewals will be allocated as shown in the table below.

COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT, ITEM NUMBER 5, WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, OUR SUCCESSION OF MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR, AND OATHS OF OFFICE, SO… COUNCIL: I JUST WANT TO SAY, AND I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE A MINUTE LATER TO TALK TOO, BUT, COUNCIL: THIS IS ALWAYS A SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR, BECAUSE WE GET TO… COUNCIL: COME TOGETHER, IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, AND THIS IS THE POINT WHERE WE, COUNCIL: WE ROTATE, WE WELCOME IN THE NEW MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR, AND, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME SERVING AS MAYOR, AND IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT HONOR TO BE ON THE COUNCIL, TO SERVE AS MAYOR.

AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN DISTRICTS… COUNCIL: WE… WE'VE KIND OF PIVOTED A LITTLE BIT, AND WE REALLY DO NEED TO NAIL DOWN A SPECIFIC, POLICY IN WRITING. HOWEVER, COUNCIL: RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS, COUNCIL: WHAT WE ALWAYS DO ANYWAY, WE HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE REGARDLESS OF THE PROCEDURE, AND WE WILL NOMINATE WHO THE COUNCIL FEELS IS THE BEST PERSON TO LEAD. NOT THAT EVERYONE HERE IS NOT QUALIFIED, THEY ALL ARE, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO THAT, AND SO I THINK I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN, BECAUSE HE'S ASKED TO DO THIS. I APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCIL: AND HOLLY IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE CITY, GETTING QUITE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, AND WITH US GOING INTO DISTRICTS, IT'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO JUST GO THROUGH COUNCIL: JUST A ROTATION FOR THE MAYOR.

YES. COUNCILMEMBER EKLUND? YES. COUNCIL: WOULD WE ALSO DO THE VICE MAYOR AT THIS POINT? WE WILL, CONGRATULATIONS. SO, I WILL SAY THIS, TOO, THAT ONE OF THE PRECEDENTS THAT WAS SET BY COUNCILS WAY BEFORE MY TIME WAS THAT, AND I KNOW EVERY CITY DOES IT DIFFERENTLY, AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, THEIR OWN REQUIREMENTS, AND THEIR OWN PRECEDENTS, AND THEIR OWN, YOU KNOW. COUNCIL: PRIORITIES WHEN IT COMES TO COUNCIL: WHO THEIR MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR IS. BUT FOR LINCOLN, THE THOUGHT WAS THAT, COUNCIL: THERE WOULDN'T BE A MAYOR OR VICE MAYOR UNLESS THEY… THEY WOULD NOT SERVE IN THAT UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL FOR 2 YEARS. BUT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A UNIQUE SITUATION, AND… COUNCIL: NOW MAYOR PEARL, IN JUST A MOMENT WHEN WE SWEAR YOU IN AND MOVE YOU OVER, HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE WAS OUR ELECTED TREASURER LAST TERM, AND SO I THINK THAT, WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS, AND I DON'T THINK… NORMALLY, I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO STICK TO THE PRECEDENT, BUT IN THIS CASE. COUNCIL: I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS, AND I'M VERY EXCITED FOR YOU TO, TO LEAD US THIS COMING YEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER DAY. COUNCIL: GOOD, AWESOME. COUNCIL: AND SO WITH THAT, THEN WE ALSO NEED TO CHOOSE, A NEW, MAYOR PRO TEM OR VICE MAYOR. I DON'T KNOW WHICH TERM WE LIKE BETTER, AND SO, COUNCIL: I'M… I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WANTED TO… I'M HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION, BUT GO AHEAD IF YOU WANT TO. YEAH, NO, I'LL MOVE TO APPOINT WHITNEY EKLUND, MAYOR PRO TEM. YEP, AND I'LL SECOND THAT. COUNCIL: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCIL: OKAY, ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RADY?
