WITHIN EACH OF THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE ARE SERVICING SPECIFIC TASKS. ONE OF THE INTERNAL AGENCY TEAMS UNDER PROCEDURES IS THE HOMELESS POPULACE AND HOW WE ' RE DEALING WITH THAT WITH COVID-19. ALSO SAFETY AND SECURITY AND UH HOW WE ' RE TACKLING THAT. ALSO DEALING WITH PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS ON THE THINGS THAT ARE GONG ON WITH THE CHILDREN BEING OUT OF SCHOOL.

THANKS FOR PROVIDING ME THE POSSIBILITY TO GIVE AN UPDATE ABOUT PATROL PROCEDURES IN THE DURHAM POLICE> DIVISION DURING THIS CURRENT DILEMMA. SO I ' LL START WITH STATING THAT FIRST OFF CONCERNING THREE WEEKS EARLIER WE BEGAN ASSESSING OUR ACTION TO CALLS FOR SEVICE BECAUSE OF THE RECENT EMERGENCY WARNING PERTAINING TO >> COVID-19 WHICH WERE AT FIRST ENVAKTED BY THE CITY AND STATE IN COOPERATION'WITH THE >> DURHAM 911 EMERGENCY SITUATION COMMUNICATION CENTER WE ' VE FUNCTIONED >> TO DEVELOP NEW >> CALL-TAKING METHODS, ALTERATIONS FOR INFLUENCED SCREENING FOR ALL CALLS OF SERVICE DISPATCHING ONLY CALLS THAT REQUIRE THE VISIBILITY OF A DPD POLICEMAN AND LESS SEVERE IS OFFENSES SUCH AS STOLEN BUILDING AND INCIDENCE WHERE A SUSPICIOUS IS OUT SCENE ARE MANAGED BY PHONE.COVID-19 ONLY CALLS VETTED BY ASSIGNED 911 CALL TAKERS AND IF PROECHT COVID-19 RELATED CALLS THAT REQUIRE POLICEMANS RESPONSE ARE SENT OFF TO PATROL. DURHAM ONE CALL HAS ADDITIONALLY AIDED WITH VETTING DETAILS ONLY CALLS AND RESPONDING TO CITIZEN INQUIRIES HENCE AVOIDING DISTURBANCE OF 911 EMERGENCY SITUATION CALL TAKER. COLLECTIONS OF'INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTE ARED TO ALL PATROL POLICE OFFICERS AS COMPANION DOCUMENT TO MENTION AND REGIONAL ORDERS TO GUIDE OFFICERS IN APPLICATION SUPPLY OF EACH ORDER PASSED BY THE GUV, CITY, OR COUNTY. STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS ARE CHANGED THE INTERIOR GUIDELINES ARE IMMEDIATELY UPDATED TO INCORPORATE ALTERED IN OUR ENFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES.
CALLS FOR SOLUTION REMAIN TO BE MONITORED AND OFFICERS HAVE BEEN AFFECT IN UTILIZING DISTANT VERBAL COMMAND OR PUBLIC STATEMENT SYSTEMS, OUR PA EQUIPMENT IN THE VEHICLES TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE VIOLATING ANY ELEMENT OF THE REMAIN AT HOME ORDINANCE.TLFSH NO COVID-19 ASSOCIATED INFRACTIONS THAT LED TO ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW. POLICEMANS HAVE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL CROWDS IN THE EARLIER PHASES OF THE FIRST STAY-AT-HOME BOSS 3 WEEKS EARLIER, HOWEVER, OVER THIS PAST WEEK END BETWEEN APRIL 2ND-5th, DURHAM COPS DIVISION REACTED TO AT THE VERY LEAST TEN OCCURRENCES OF INDIVIDUALS CONGREGATEING IN GROUPS OF FOUR OR EVEN MORE TO PLAY BASKETBALL, SOCCER, OR ASSOCIATED SPORTING ACTIVITIES, AND A CALL PERTAINING TO A BARBEQUE OR COOKOUT OF SORTS ON AUTO PARKING DECK IN MIDTOWN LOCATION. POLICEMANS ALSO RESPONDED TO AN OCCURRENCE WHERE ABOUT 15 PEOPLE CONGREGATEED SOCIALLY AT PRIVATE HOUSE. ONCE WE RESPONDED REALIZED THERE WERE SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS AT THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION, THIS TELEPHONE CALL WAS ORIGINALLY DISPATCHED AT A NOISE ISSUE AND. IN ALL INSTANCES POLICE OFFICERS REACTED AND ADVISED THE CONGREGANTS OF THE CITY ' S ACTIVE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER AND CONFORMITY FOLLOWED WITHOUT INCIDENCE. THIS WEEKEND ' S CALLS WERE AN OBVIOUS UP TICK IN TE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS REALLY FEELING THE NEED TO GET OUTSIDE, INTERACT SOCIALLY AND RETURN TO NORMAL BUT WHILE THEY MAY HAVE NELT FELT THEIR ACTIONS WERE INNOCUOUS THIS KIND OF DISREGARD COULD ULTIMATELY HAVE TOMB CONSEQUENCES.OFFICERS REPLIED TO JUST A FEW CALLS WHERE PEOPLE REPORTED BUSINESSINGS NOT IN CONFORMITY TO THE VARIETY OF PATRONS AT COMPANY AREA. UPON APROOIFL, OFFICERS ADVISED THE LAWBREAKERS OF THE ACTIVE STATE AND NEIGHBORHOOD ORDERS IMPACTING SPECIFIC COMPANIES OPERATIONS AND PROPRIETORS SWIFTLY ABIDED.

WE HAVE NOT HAD TO CONCERN THOSE LETTERS AT THIS TIME BUT'THEY ' VE BEEN UPGRADED LATELY AND WE ' RE PREPARED TO POST THOSE ORDERS WHEN NECESSARY. OUR CONCERN TO KEEP A IS -HEALTHY AND BALANCED WORKFORCE TO CONTINUE HIGHEST LEVELS OF REACTION TO THE COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, WE REQUIREMENT OUR CITIZENS TO

WHEN THE MESSAGE GAME THAT ASYMPTOMATIC PERSON OUGHT TO BE USING A MASK WE BEGAN MAKING SURE ALL OFFICERS HAD> PPE SO THEY COULD PUT THE MASKS ON WHEN THEY'REQUIRED TO IN RESPONSE. CURRENTLY THEY ARE WEARING THEIR MASK DURING AN SORT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC'. WE ' VE HAD SOME CURRENT OCCURRENCE IN WHICH OFFICERS HAD TO WEAR MASKS IN WHICH THEY WERE BASICALLY RESPONDING TO A NOISE COMPLAINT OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE BUT WE HAVE INSTRUCTED THEM TO KEEP'THEIR DISTANCE AND EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE A BIT IMPERSONAL TO BE15 FEET FAR FROM A CUSTOMER AND UNFORTUNATELY AND CHATTING FROM THE CAR, WE ' VE INSTRUCTED OUR ADMINISTRATION TO USE SYSTEMS AND DO WHATEVER THEY CANISTER TO COMMUNICATE DIPLOMATIC IN THEIR COMMUNICATION AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE WHAT THAT DISTANCE IS ALL ABOUT. > > THAT ' S TERRIFIC TO HEAR.

SO SHIFTED OT THE MANNER IN WHICH WE ' RE RESPONDING BUT THE ACTUAL VOLUME OF OUR CALLS, WE ' RE STILL FINDING ABOUT THE TYPICAL VARIETY OF CALLS FOR SOLUTION. THE CALLS HAVE ALTERED JUST SLIGHTLY, BUT OFFICERS INTERACTIONS AND THE FASHION IN WHICH THEY ADDRESS VARIOUS KIND, EVEN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, IS DIFFERENT, AND THE DEGREE OF INTERACTION IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST BASICALLY TO SHOT TO REDUCE A CIRCUMSTANCE WITHOUT MAKING AN AREST IF WHATSOEVER POSSIBLE.WRITE CITATIONS IF THAT ' S THE FINEST MEANS TO SOLVE AN PROBLEM. WE ' RE STILL THE POLICE AND STILL HAVE SOME OCCURRENCE WE ' VE HAD TO RESPOND TO, BUT MY CONCERN AND ISSUE IS THE WELLNESS OF THE ORGANIZATION SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO RESPOND TO THE RESIDENTS OF DURHAM, AND WANTING TO MAKE SURE THEY REMAIN HEALTHY AND BALANCED AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS REMAIN HEALTHY AND BALANCED AND NONE OF THAT IS COMPROMISED IN THEIR FUNCTION.

THAT ' S WHY SEMINARS ARE SUCH AN FUNDAMENTAL PART OF OUR FUNCTION. OTHER CITY FIRMS THAT ARE [INDISCERNIBLE] AS COMPONENT OF THIS INCLUDES DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY INCORPORATION DEALING WITH United States TO GUARANTEE THAT OUR CENTER COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS OBTAINING SOLUTIONS AND DURHAM LABOR FORCE GROWTH BOARD EXISTS BECAUSE, AGAIN, AS THESE SERVICES HAVE NEEDED TO CLOSE DOWN, THEIR PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN GAVE UP AND OBTAINING GAIN ACCESS TO TO LABOR FORCE GROWTH SERVICES ARE ESSENTIAL. WE HAVE TRIED TO TYPE OF MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE. ON THE CITY ' S HOME WEB PAGE, WE HAVE A TAB REALLY QUICKLY PRESENTING BOTH RESOURCES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THE INSURANCE COVERAGE ALONG WITH SMALL COMPANY RESOURCES. WE HAVE CREATED A BRAND-NEW WEBSITE, OEWD HAS BEEN WORKING ON NEW INTERNET SITE AND I WANT TO DIRECT YOU TO A BRAND-NEW INTERNET WEBSITE THAT WE E HAVE PUBLISHED, IT ' S A WEBSITE THAT OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF RESOURCES AND INFORMATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT ' S CALLED DURHAMBUSINESS360.COM THAT SITE IS UP AND ACTIVATED.WE ' LL BE DOING A PUSH E-MAIL TO MAKE MORE OF OUR AREA AWARE OF IT.
IT'' S BEEN ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO HIGHLIGHT THE SET OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE. EVERYTHING FROM USING FROM VARIOUS SBA TECHNIQUES BUT SERVICE CONSTANT WITH THE STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS AD SOMETHINGS OF THAT NATURE. ONCE MORE, TRY UHHING TO BECOME A RESOURCE, ALL THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THE$380 BILLION THAT ARE PART OF THE TREATMENTS PROGRAM ARE RESOURCES THAT INCLUDE FUNDINGS, FORGIVABLE LOANS, AND GIVES THAT ARE MOVING VIA BANKS AND CERTIFIED GROWTH CORPORATIONS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS BEING PROVIDED VIA SMALL BUSINESSES, ADVANCEMENT CENTERS AND SMALL COMPANY TECHNOLOGY CENTERS. ONCE AGAIN, EVERY ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN OVERRUN WITH APPLICATIONS. THE SBA PROGRAM, THE PAY P FUNCTION PROTECTION PROGRAM WAS SIMPLY BEGUN TAKING APPLICATIONS ON FRIDAY.THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF COMPLICATION ON FRIDAY BECAUSE SOME BANKS WERE PREPARED TO TAKE APPLICATIONS; OTHERS
WERE NOT LOOKING FOR MORE DIRECT IFORMATION. I E UNDERSTAND THAT ON FRIDAY THERE WERE IN BETWEEN 3-5 BILLION DOLLARS OF APPLICATIONS THAT WERE GOTTEN THROUGHOUT THIS PROGRAM AND SO, ONCE AGAIN, WE STILL ARE FUNCTIONING WITH THE BANKS TO TYPE OF MAKE SURE THAT THIS CONSISTENT INFORMATION, EVEN MORE ESSENTIAL, EXACT INFO FOR PEOPLE TO FILE. AGAIN, PERMIT ME TO MAYBE CONFORM FROM LOCAL BUSINESS TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE ' RE DOING AT THE WORKS PROFESSION CENTER. NCWORKS JOB FACILITY IS CLOSED TO PUBLIC. ALL CAREER CENTERS IN THE STATE ARE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND THEY ' RE WORKING VIRTUALLY. THE EMPHASIS CLEARLY IS ON THE LAID OFF WH ARE NO ELIGIBLE-FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. THE VISION OF WORK SAFETY WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE STATE, HANDLES THE UI PROGRAM, UNINSURED PROGRAM.THE DEPARTMENT OF WORKFORCE SERVICE, THEY ' RE OUR PARTNERS IN HANDLING THE PROFESSION FACILITY. ALL OF THE DIVISION
OF LABOR FORCE OPTION TEAM HAVE NOW BEEN RELEASED TO SUPPORT THE PROCESSING OF ASSERTS. THE WEB SITES HAVE COLLAPSED. THERE ' S BEEN TROUBLE GETTING TO INDIVIDUALS ONLINE OR BY THE TELEPHONE.

I TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT THIS TO TOM. I ' VE BEEN ON ONE OF THE CALLS WITH ANDRE AND KEITH. REALLY I PRESUME FIGHT IT OUT WASN ' T ON THAT CALL BUT I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOPHIE WILLIAMS SO I ASSUME THIS IS SOMETHING WE ' RE GOING TO REQUIREMENT TO BE THINKING ABOUT.THE PHONE CALL WAS SELF HELP, BUT WE SPOKE ABOUT WITH KEITH and andre AND COUPLE WITH SELF ASSISTANCE IS CITY FINANCES MUST WE SHOOZ TO ALLOT WITH, WHICH I BELIEVE WE SHOULD, WOULD BE PARTICULARLY GEARED TOWARDS– PERMIT ME TO GO BACK A SECONDLY. THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE TREATMENTS ACT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO UNDOCUMENTED SO AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT VOIDS THAT WE ' LL HAVE TO LOAD IS NUMEROUS SMALL BUSINESSES WITH UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS. THIS COULD BE A GAP FILLED BY CITY FUNDS IN ADDITION TO A GREAT DEAL OF THE SMALL SERVICES HISTORICALLY DEPRIVED SERVICES ARE ALSO GOING TO NEED TO BE TARGETED FOR SUPPORT. THESE ARE A COUPLE THINGS WE NEED TO BE RETAINING IN MIND OUGHT TO WE CHOOSE TO ALLOT FUNDS, WHICH I WISH THAT WE WILL.THAT ' S ONE THING I UH SIMPLY WISHED TO PUT OUT THERE. ANOTHER PERSON IS RECENTLY I AND SO-CALLED BIG-CITY MAYORS, 8 LARGEST CITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA, WE HAD A PHONE CALL WITH THE GOVERNOR, AND THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT I REALLY ATTEMPTED TO HIGHLIGHT WITH GOVERNOR– AND HE KNOWS THIS NATURALLY ALREADY– IS SIMPLY THE HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE WE ' RE IN WITH OUR JOBLESSNESS, THE STATE ' S UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM. THE COMPUTER CRASHING THT ANDRE MENTIONED. THE FACTOR IS, A MONTH AGO THEY WERE HANDLING THREE THOUSAND APPLICATIONS A MONTH, I ' M SORRY, THREE THOUSAND A WEEK.NOW THEY ' VE GOT TO PROCEDURE 3 HUNDRED THOUSAND THAT ARE BEING AVAILABLE IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. P IT ' S NOT THEIR MISTAKE THAT THIS SYSTEM ISN ' T WORKING BUT THEY NEED TO LIKE BEEF IT UP, GET MORE INDIVIDUALS THEREIN, ALL SUPER VITAL AND THE GOVERNOR UNDERSTANDS THAT, IT ' S A HUGE TOP PRIORITY FOR HIM, BUT I DO THINK– I HAVE GOTTEN SOME OF THE SADDEST E-MAILS FROM PEOPLE JST TRYING TO OBTAIN RIGHT INTO THAT JOBLESSNESS SYSTEM THAT ARE ELIGIBLE AND THAT SIMPLY TIN ' T, THEIR COMPUTER ' S CRASHING, TRYING
IN THE CENTER OF THE EVENINGS AND IT ' S A BIG PROBLEM. I SIMPLY INTENDED TO MENTION THAT.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ANDRE? BOARD REMARKS? ANDRE, MANY THANKS. WE APPRECIATE YOU. > > THANKS, VALUE YOUR MANAGEMENTS AND ASSISTANCE. > > THANK YOU SO MUCH. MR. SUPERVISOR. > > OK. THE LAST POINT WE IDEA WE WOULD CHECK IN IS A BRIEF DISCUSSION WITH OUR SPENDING PLAN DIRECTOR, BERTHA JOHNSON.

WE BEGAN BUDGET PLAN PRESENTATIONS TO >> THE CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT PRESENTATION ON MARCH 30th. WE HAVE OUR FINAL DEPARTMENT SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW AND WE'PLAN TO HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE JOINT CITY/COUNTY DEPARTMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH DURHAM AREA NEXT WEEK. WE ' RE IN THE PROCESS OF READYING THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RECORD WHICH IS TRICK TO HOW WE PROCEED WITH REMAINDER OF THE
>>. WE ' RE COLLABORATING WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS ON THEIR PROJECTIONS, INCOME AND EXPENSES FOR REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. 3RD QUARTER RECORD IS REALLY GOING TO BE THE SECRET TO HOW WE RESPOND OVER THE NEXT QUARTER AS WELL AS HOW WE MAKE MODIFICATIONS IN OUR NEXT YEAR ' S FISCAL YEAR ' S BUDGET.WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH THE LEAGUE, WITH DR. WALLDON TRYING TO NUMBER OUT WHAT THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 WILL CERTAINLY BE PARTICULARLY ON SALES TAX WHICH IS THE SECOND LARGEST RESOURCE OF'REVENUES IN THE BASIC FUND. BECAUSE WE OBTAIN CONCERNING $71 MILLION IN BUSINESS TAX OBLIGATION IN THE GENERAL FUND EACH YEAR, THERE ARE FORECASTS UP TO 10%OF EARNINGS LOSS WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT FOR United States. NOT ONLY SALES TAX OBLIGATION. WE ' RE LOOKING AT EFFECT ON THE MOTEL/HOTEL TAX OBLIGATION, GAS TAX, [INDISTINCT] PARTICULARLY IN PLANNING, ASSESSMENTS, PARKING, REC and parks, TRANSPORTATION WILL ALL BE IMPACTED, PROGRAM PROFITS INFLUENCED'BY THIS. CERTAINLY, AGAIN, WE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO DO A THOROUGH EVALUATION WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS, PRODUCTION THOSE ESTIMATES. EARNINGS PROJECTIONS WE SHOW YOU AT BUDGET RESORT WILL CERTAINLY REQUIRE BO TO BE ADJUSTED AND WE ' LL BE REVISING OUR BUDGET PLAN ADVANCEMENT GUIDELINES TOO. WE HAVE PLANNED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ON MORE DETAILS. WE ' RE HOPEFUL WE CONTAINER DO THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT ONE OTHER ALTERNATIVE GETS ON APRIL 23RD BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE A CITY UH COUNCIL CONFERENCE AND WE CANISTER DO THAT IN THE MORNING PRIOR TO THAT MEETING.WE DO NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE SOME MEANINGFUL INFORMATION FOR YOU ALL TO PROGRESS WITH THE 4TH QUARTER IN ADDITION TO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR IN STIPULATIONS OF ADJUSTING OUR PROJECTIONS. THE CITY SUPERVISOR IS SCHEDULED TO PRESENT HIS BUDGET PLAN ON MAY 18. WE ' RE STILL PREPARATION TOWARDS THAT TO BE THE SITUATION. WE ' RE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH AS OTHER CITIES ARE WHAT THE INITIAL'BUDGET PROCESS LOOKS LIKE AND FILE LOK LIKE BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THAT WE HAVE THE VERY BEST ESTIMATES POSSIBLE WHEN WE'DEVELOP OUR DOCUMENTS.SO, UM, AS FOR THE LAST COMPONENT OF THE BUDGET PLAN IS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. WE ' RE REASONING ABOUT AND LOOKING AT FORMATS THAT WE CONTAINER PARTICIPATE IN STIPULATIONS OF PRODUCTION SURE WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR RESIDENCE TAKE PART IN THE BUDGET PLAN ADVANCEMENT PROCEDURE. WE DID ALL OF OUR BUDGET MEETINGS WITH 18 MEETINGS WITH OUR DIVISIONS WITH ZOOM WITH LOTS PEOPLE ON TH CONFERENCE AS YOU HAVE TONIGHT AND THAT HAS FUNCTIONED WELL AND SO WE'ARE CHECKING OUT WAYS THAT WE CAN ENGAGE OUR HOUSE IN THE BUDGET PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE. ONCE MORE, THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECT OF THE SPENDING PLAN PROCEDURE WILL BE EARNINGS. BASIC FUND EARNINGS AS WELL AS PROGRAM PROFITS AND LIKEWISE LOOKING AT EXISTING TASK PRICE, QUOTE RATE AND OTHER RATES AND HOW WE MAY NEED TO METHOD THEM THE NEXT . IT'' S GOING BE OBSTACLE. WE ' RE WORKING THROUGH IT. OUR DIVISION HAVE ALL COMPLETED THEIR ASSIGNMENTS IN REQUISITES OF DISCUSSION AND PROJECTIONS BUT WE PLACE ' T MADE A LOFT SPACE ADJUSTMENTS AROUND PROFITS SINCE WE DON ' T HAVE SUFFICIENT DETAILS BUT WE ' RE DEALING WITH OTHERS AROUND THE STATE ON THAT ISSUE AND LOOKING OVER ALL, THERE ARE PROJECTIONS WE ' LL LOSE 20 %OF REVENUES AROUND DISCRETIONARY INVESTING FOR OUR RESIDENCE AND OTHERS, THEREFORE IT ' S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE BUT WE ' RE WORKING THROUGH IT AND WE WILL REMAIN TO FUNCTION IN THE DIRECTION OF HAVING MORE COMPREHENSIVE CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL.HAPPY TO TAKE ANY CONCERNS. > > THANKS QUITE.

OUR DEPARTMENT HAVE ALL COMPLETED THEIR ASSIGNMENTS IN REQUISITES OF DISCUSSION AND PROJECTIONS BUT WE HAVEN ' T MADE A LOFT ADJUSTMENTS AROUND EARNINGS BECAUSE WE DON ' T HAVE SUFFICIENT INFO BUT WE ' RE WORKING WITH OTHERS AROUND THE STATE ON THAT CONCERN AND LOOKING OVER ALL, THERE ARE FORECASTS WE ' LL LOSE 20 %OF REVENUES AROUND DISCRETIONARY INVESTING FOR OUR HOUSE AND OTHERS, AND SO IT ' S GOING TO BE An OBSTACLE BUT WE ' RE WORKING THROUGH IT AND WE WILL CERTAINLY PROCEED TO FUNCTION IN THE DIRECTION OF HAVING EVEN MORE COMPREHENSIVE CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL.HAPPY TO TAKE ANY INQUIRIES. BERTHA, I PUT ON ' T HAVE A CONCERN OR EVEN A RECOMMENDATION, I JUSTS WANT TO SAY THAT I TIN ' T ENVISION TASK THAT ' S AHEAD OF YOU AND YOUR STAFF RIGHT NOW. WE ARE IN A– EVERYONE ' S BEEN PHRASE IT– EXTREMELY VARIOUS SCENARIOS AND A WHOLE LOT OF OUR FANTASIZES and wishes FOR AWESOME STUFF WE NEED TO DO WE ' RE NT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO AND WE ' RE GOING TO DEMAND IS SUPPORT FROM OUR TEAM AND WE ' LL HAVE TO STEP UP TO IT AND I UH KNOW WE ' LL DO IT. COWORKERS, IF THERE ' S NOTHING ELSE ON THAT I ' M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ACTION TO OUR SECOND PRODUCT: 2.ALL MY COLLEAGUES, I HAD THANK- OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO EACH OF YOU SEPARATELY UH ABOUT THE VACANCY THAT WE NOW KNOW IS COMING BECAUSE WE HAVE ACCEPTED OUR ASSOCIATE ALSTON'' S NORMAL RESIGNATION OR I THINK I MUST SAY UH CITY STAFF CONCUR WITH ME BUT I THINK WERE MEANT TO ELECT ON THAT SO WE'' LL SHOT TO KEEP IN MIND TO PERFORM THAT THROUGHOUT THIS MEETING.I THINK THAT'' S SOMETHING WE HAE TO DO. IN ANY EVENT, I INTENDED TO SHARE– >> > > CHARLIE, FORGIVE ME ONE SECONDLY. LET ME ASK THE ATTORNEY. WHAT IS OUR OBLIGATION BELOW? DO WE VOTE ON THAT PARTICULAR ACCEPTING RESIGNATION TONIGHT? >> > > WE DO, YES, YOU NEED TO ELECT ON THAT PURSUANT ON THE CHRT OF STIPULATION. >> > > THANKS. > >'AND IF WE DON ' T ALL AGREE [LOW AUDIO] [> LAUGHTER >>] > > YEAH, NO > > [INDISTINCT] > > OK. DO I HAVE A MOVEMENT THAT SHE CANISTER ' T LEAVE? >> > NO >>. > > ALL. THANKS, MADAM LAWYER. >> CHARLIE, SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. > > AS LONG AS EVERYONE KEEPS IN MIND WE GOT DO THAT BEFORE WE LEAVE THE CALL. AT THE INSTRUCTIONS OF MAYOR SCHEWEL AND IN APPOINTMENT WITH EACH OF YOU AND AFTER EXAMINING EXTENSIVELY THE STIPULATIONS IN THE CITY CHARTER AND THE COUNCIL PROCEDURES GUIDEBOOK ABOUT OPENINGS OF CITY BOARD PARTICIPANT, I PREPARED RECOMMENDED TIMELINE FOR CONDUCTING A PROCESS TO FILL THIS UPCOMING OPENINGS IN THE COMMON COUNCIL AND SHARED THAT WITH EACH OF YOU AND SENIOR PERSONNEL AT THE CITY LAST WEEK.AND LET ME
WLK WITH THE DAYS THERE AND AFTERWARDS TALK ABOUT SEVERAL OF THE CONCERNS AND THEN CERTAINLY WE'' LL HAVE A GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AS THE MAYOR RECOMMENDED. STEP IN THAT TIMELINE IS TONIGHT, IT'' S THE POINT WE ' LL PROBABLY DO AT THE VERY END OF THE MEETING BECAUSE WE ' LL ALL WANT TO PUT IT OFF AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AN'THAT ' S TO VOTE TO ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION OF COUNCIL MEMBER ALSTON EFFECTIVE THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH, 2020, AT SIMPLY BEFORE TWELVE O’CLOCK AT NIGHT. CONTAINER I GET A THUMBS UP ON THAT? >> > > THAT ' S RIGHT >>. > > AND THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY, APRIL 10TH, THE CITY STAFF WOULD ARTICLE WHAT ' S CALLED A NOTIFICATION OF VACANCY, A DRAFT OF WHICH WE HAVE SEEN THAT SHE'' S SHARED WITH United States LAST WEEK.THE CITY STAFF WOULD MAKE THE APPLICATION FOR CANDIDATES WHO INTEND TO OBTAIN THE JOB AS WELL AS THE SET OF QUESTIONS THAT WE'' VE DEVELOPED AS A GROUP TWO YEARS EARLIER THE LAST TIME WE HAD ACCOMPLISH THIS, UM, AND THOSE WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE STARTING THAT FRIDAY, APRIL 10TH, 2020, AND SIMULTANEOUS WITH THAT SAID THE CITY OF DURHAM WOULD SEND A NEWS RELEASE INDICATING THAT THE OPENINGS HAS ACTUALLY NOW HAPPENED AND THE PROCESS FOR SELECTING A FOLLOWER TO COUNCIL MEMBER ALSTON HAS BEGUN. I'' M SIMPLY CURRENTLY GETTING A MESSAGE FROM OUR CITY STAFF. [LAUGHTER] UM, THAT FRIDAY APRIL 10TH IS GOOD FRIDAY, WHICH I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BUT DID NOT, AND SO, WE'' LL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO MAKE SOME ADJUST MS TO THIS TIMELINE AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THIS PROCEDURE BUT AISLE OFFER YOU WHAT I ORIGINALLY GENERATED AND AFTER THAT WE'' LL DETERMINE HOW TO ADJUSTMENT IT. THE COUNCIL PROCEDURES HANDBOOK NEEDS A TEN KAYS THAT THE APPLICATION PROCESS BE REMAIN OPEN, ALTHOUGH AS A COUNCIL WE CONTAINER CHANGE THAT TIMELINE IF WE DECIDE THAT'' S THE PROPER POINT TO DO, MAYBE WE INTEND TO DO THAT NOW WE UNDERSTAND FRIDAY APRIL 10TH IS A VACATION, WE'' LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.BUT I SUMING WE HAD A FULL 10 DAYS, THE APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DUE ON MONDAY, APRIL 20TH. MY PROPOSED TIMELINE HAS US DURING THE COUNCIL FUNCTION SESSION ON THURSDAY APRIL 23RD BALLOT TO DETERMINE 3-7 FINALISTS CONSIST WITH THE PROCEDURES SET OUT IN OUR PROCEDURES HANDBOOK. AFTER IDENTIFYING THE FINALISTS ON MONDAY, APRIL 27TH, AT A SPECIAL EVENING COUNCIL CONFERENCE CALLED FOR THIS OBJECTIVE, THE COUNCIL WOULD CONDUCT INTERVIEWS OF THE 3-7 FINALISTS, AFTER THAT ON TURSDAY APRIL 13th, 4 DAYS TRASH, THE COUNCIL WOULD THEN ELECT ON THE VISIT AND OUR BRAND-NEW COWORKER WOULD BE SWORN IN THAT DAY OR ON MONDAY Might 4th COUNCIL MEETING.THE DETAILS OF THE PROMISING IN HAVE TO BE FIGURED OUT TO DO WITHIN APPROPRIATE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND ALL THAT EXCELLENT STUFF. I ASSUME THAT'' S THE TIME LINE I PLACE TGETER AND THERE ARE CERTAINLY WAYS WE CANISTER TWEAK IT TO REPRESENT THE REALITY THAT APRIL 109 IS A HOLIDAY BUT BEFORE TALKING SPECIFICS PERMIT ME TO TALK EXTENSIVELY CONCERNING THE PROCESS AND WHY I BELIEVE IT'' S ESSENTIAL FOR United States TO PROCEED. THE CITY CHARTER REQUIRES US TO AT THE VERY LEAST EFFORT TO FILL OPENINGS PRODUCED IN A MEMBER OF THE DURHAM COMMON COUNCIL. THE CITY CHARTER IS REALLY CLEAR. THE WORD USED IS SHALL, NOT MAY. IT CLAIMS SHALL.THERE ' S
ONE EXCEPTION AND THAT IS IF WE CANISTER'' T DO THIS IF BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EVEN NUMBER OF MEMBERS WE CAN'' T AND IF WE FAIL DO THAT AFTER THAT WITHIN 60 DAYS A SPECIAL ELECTION IS THUS CALLED, AND THE CONCEPT THAT WE WOULD ALLOW A SPECIAL ELECTION TO GO FORWARD WITHOUT TRYING TO FILL UP THE VACANCY APPEARS TOUGH TO UNDERSTAND, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THE HOME OF WARD THREE IN THE CITY OF DURHAM LACK DEPICTION ON THE COUNCIL FOR MONTHS WHEN A BRAND-NEW COWORKER WOULD BE SWORN IN, IN DECEMBER. FOR THT FACTOR, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ASSUME THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF HOW AGENT THE COUNCIL WILL CERTAINLY LACK A WARD THREE REP, DUE TO THE TRUTH I THINK THE CHARTER CALLS FOR US TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT I'' M ADVOCATING THAT WE GO ONWARD. THE VARIOUS OTHER THING IS WE'' VE GOT 60 DAYS, WE COULD TAKE 60 DAYS TO DO IT. MY WORRY THERE IS THAT IF THE CLOCK BEGINS OPERATING ON FRIDAY EARLY MORNING, APRIL 10TH, THAT PUTS US AT ABOUT JUNE 8TH-9th AS TE DUE DATE FOR CONSULTATION AND OBVIOUSLY WE INTEND TO BE VOTING ON A BUDGET EXTREMELY SHORTLY AFTER THAT AND I ASSUME THAT'' S UNFAIR TO WHOEVER OUR FUTURE COWORKER MAY BE THAT WE WOULD ASK HER OR HIM TO EVALUATE IN ON THAT SPENDING PLAN SO QUICKLY AFTER BEING SWORN IN.I THINK IF WE FOLLOW SOME VARIATION OF TIMELINE THAT I'' VE PROPOSED THAT, THAT WILL BRING OUR NEW COWORKER ONLINE ON BOARD ON OR ABOUT MAY 4th AND THAT INDIVIDUAL WOULD TEN BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH US ALONGSIDE US AND AFTER THAT BE ABLE TO CAST MEANINGFUL CHOOSE THE BUDGET PLAN WHEN THE TIME COMES. IF I WAS SWORN IN SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO WE VOTED, I UNDERSTAND PERSONALLY WOULD HAVE TO ELECT NO. SO THOSE ARE A FEW OF THE ISSUES MORE EXTENSIVELY. I WILL CERTAINLY KEEP IN MIND THAT SIMPLY BEFORE THIS MEETING, WE RECEIVED RESOLUTION FROM CHAIRMAN BEASLEY AND THE COMMITTEE IS ASKING US NOT TO ASSIGN A FOLLOWER AND TO PERMIT An UNIQUE ELECTION TO MOVE FORWARD AND OBVIOUSLY I ASSUME THAT'' S NOT THE NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CONTAINER DO. I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO A MINIMUM OF SHOT AND IF WE FAIL TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AFTER THAT An UNIQUE ELECTION WILL BE CALLED BY
OPERATION OF LAW.LAST THING I DESIRED TO SAY IS THAT THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE BUDGET, IT'' S NOT REALLY FAIR THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS TODAY. IN An IDEAL WORLD, WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE DID TWO YEARS BACK TO SELECT A FOLLOWER TO MAYOR SCHEWEL IN HIS AT-LARGE SEAT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE IN-PERSON, PUBLIC REMARK PERIODS IN WHICH INDIVIDUALS COULD COME AND INFORM US TO OUR FACE WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT VARIOUS CANDIDATES, ABOUT WHATEVER THEY WISHED TO TALK ABOUT. BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS AND THE REQUIREDS WE'' RE OPERATING UNDER, THAT'' S NOT GOING BE POSSIBLE, AT LEAST AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.THAT MEANS
THAT IT'' S GOING TO BE HARD, BUT IT ALSO, BUT I TINK IN THAT CASE WE JUST HAVE TO DO WHAT'' S HARD. I THINK WE WILL CERTAINLY BEAR A PARTICULARLY HEFTY BURDEN TO TEAM UP WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS AND COMPANIES AHEAD UP WITH DURABLE KINDS OF PUBLIC COMMENT THAT DON'' T INCLUDE GOING TO SHOWING UP AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN PERSON AND DELIVERING REMARKS AT THE MICROPHONE, BUT I ASSUME WE'' RE AS MUCH AS THAT CHALLENGE, I THINK DURHAM ' S AS MUCH AS THAT CHALLENGE, AND I THINK IT'' S REALLY ESSENTIAL TAT WE MOVE FORWARD.THAT ' S MY
PROPOSITION. OBVIOUSLY UH WE'' RE GOING HAVE TO TWEAK DATES IF WE DCIDE TO MOVE ON SINCE OF THE HOLIDAY, BUT I'' VE PROBABLY TALKED METHOD EXCESSIVE AND INTERESTED TO HEAR OTHER INDIVIDUALS. >> > > YOU DID NOT TALK METHOD TOO MUCH. TERRIFIC PRESENTATION. I ASSUMED YOU COVERED A GREAT DEAL OF THE REALLY CRUCIAL GROUND, CHARLIE, COUNCIL MEMBER REECE. THANKS A LOT FOR DOING THE FUNCTION AND I UH REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GETTING TO OUT TO EVERYBODY INDIVIDUALLY. IT WAS VERY USEFUL TO HAVE A HEADS UP PRIOR TO THE MEETING. SO THANK YO. ALL RIGHT. I'' M GOING TO NOW OPEN THIS UP FOR DISCUSSION AND LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT PROPOSITION THAT COUNCIL PARTICIPANT REECE SIMPLY MADE. ANY THOUGHTS THAT ANYONE HAS? INQUIRIES? COMMENTS? OPT FOR IT.MAYOR PRO
TEM. >> > > FAST INQUIRY. WHEN THE IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT TEN DAYS THE APPLICATION PERIOD BEING 10 DAYS WHERE WE CAN ADJUST THAT, CONTAINER WE ADJUST THAT IN EITHER INSTRUCTIONS? >> > > DEFINITELY. THAT PART IS NOT IN– IT WAS A NEED WE CREATED LAST TIME AROUND WHICH PARAGRAPH CONSISTS OF LANGUAGE THAT IT CONTAINER BE IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD. THE REALLY BOTTOM OF THAT SECTION THAT TAKES CARE OF OPENINGS THERE'' S A CATCH-ALL STIPULATION THAT SAYS THE COUNCIL CAN CHANGE THIS PROCESS IN THE PASSION– >> > > COUNCIL MEMBER MIDDLETON. >> > > THANKS >>. > > USE YOUR CHAT BOX >>. > > CHECK COMPUTER MICROPHONE?

THAT'' S AMONG THINGS THAT EDUCATED MY CONCERNS ABOUT DENTAL FILLING THIS SEAT. MY IDEA IS THAT THOSE FOLK WE'' RE MANY WORRIED REGARDING IN OUR EQUITY WORK ARE THE ONES THAT WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST BAR TO CLEAR TO JOIN THIS PROCESS.AND WHEN I CLAIMED A MASTER COURSE ON BENEFIT [INDISCERNIBLE] BY MEANING THOSE THAT WILL JOIN THIS PROCESS WILL CERTAINLY BE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT CONCERNED CONCERNING PAYING EXPENSES, WHO ARE NOT CONCERNED CONCERNING UNEMPLOYMENT, THAT AREN ' T FRETTED CONCERNING An ILL FAMILY PARTICIPANT, AND I THEY WITH ALL OF OUR PROBLEM ABOUT EQUITY AND ACCESS THAT THE FOLK THAT WE ' RE MANY WORRIED REGARDING ARE THE ONE THAT IS WILL HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF ACCESSIBILITY DURING THIS PROCESS.I BELIEVE WE ARE WELL INTENTIONED TO HEAD OUT OF OUR MEANS AND MEET THE OBSTACLE TO ALLOW FOLK IN BUT I ASSUME UH OUR POSITIVE OUTLOOK IS THE OPTIMISM OF PRIVILEGE. THOSE ON THE COUNCIL ARE DEALING WITH SOME SAME THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING IN OUR CITY AND AS HIGH AS WE ARE WELL INTENTIONED ON MAKING THIS PROCESS ACCESSIBLE, IT ' S TOUGH ENOUGH WHEN WE ' RE NOT UNDER A PANDEMIC. I LIKEWISE WISHED TO SAY THAT I DISCOVER WARD 3 DEPICTION DEBATE A LITTLE BIT CURIOUS PARTICULARLY FROM THOSE OF United States WHO KNOW HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS. THOSE OF US WHO SPECIFICALLY ON COUNCIL HAVE INTIMATE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DON ' T HAVE A REAL WARD SYSTEM. WE HAVE A ZIP CODE DIVERSITY UH SYSTEM'IN PLACE.WE USAGE CLASSIFICATION WORD, SYSTEM. WE DON ' T HAVE A REAL SYSTEM. EACH PEOPLE DOESN ' T CONTROL A POT OF CASH. OUR UDO, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOESN ' T TAKE ITEMS THAT ARE WARD-SPECIFIC OR ZONING ISSUES THAT ARE WARD-SPECIFIC, AND I QUESTION WHAT THE DISAGREEMENT WOULD BE. IF THE SEAT WE WERE DENTAL FILLING WERE AN AT-LARGE SEAT WOULD WE FILL IT BECAUSE THE WHOLE CITY IS DOING NOT HAVE REPRESENTATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE OF OUR AT-LARGE SEATING ISN ' T FILLED? IF WE DID ARGUE THAT, ARE WE SUGGESTING THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD OBTAIN MORE UNIQUE POWERS TO WARD SEATS? PROVIDE SUBMISSION TO WARD? BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A WARD SYSTEM, none OF THAT. THE SYSTEM WE HAVE ACTUALLY ALLOWED NOT ONLY FOR A WARD AGENT BUT THERE ' S NOTHING THAT PROCLUDES ALL THREE AT-LARGE SEATS. UNDER ROUTINE SITUATION A WARD SEAT COULD BE AUGMENTED BY ALL AT-LARGE SEATS ORIGINATING FROM THAT WARD. I FID THAT SAY M A LITTLE BIT CURIOUS SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE A REAL WARD SYSTEM. WE ARE ALL EMPOWERED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE EXCELLENT OF THE CITY WHEN– I FIND THAT A SIGNIFICANT DEBATE, I PUT ON ' T FIND IT COMPELLING.WE HAVE A COMPLETELY PRACTICAL LEGAL DISCUSSION FORUM ON OUR COUNCIL WITH THE 6 OF US. WE DON'' T HAVE TO MAINTAIN PARTISAN MAJORITY LIKE THEY DO IN LEGISLATURE SO THE DIE UH NAH MIKS FOR US ARE REALLY VARIOUS THAN OTHER BODIES SO WE CONTAINER FEATURE. I THINK THE INQUIRY BEFORE United States IS SHOULD WE DO THIS UNDER THESE SCENARIOS? THE STATUTE, I ABSOLUTELY TO -REGARD THE LETTER OF THE LAW, BUT A MINIMUM OF FROM MY VIEWPOINT THE ORDINANCE PONDERS AN ELECTION FOR REASON. I WEAR ' T THINK IT POLITICAL ELECTION IS INFERIOR OR LESS WE and inferred HAVE TO TAKE CARE ABOUT SENDING THAT SIGNAL TO THE CITY. BECAUSE IT UNDERSTANDS THERE ARE [p IT CONSIDERS AN ELECTION INDISTINCT] UNDER WHICH WE CANISTER NOT FILL THE SEAT.WE MAKE AN ATTEMPT, POLITICAL GRID LOCK MAY NOT FILL THE SEAT, WE MAY NOT FEEL WE HAVE CERTIFIED CANDIDATES THAT APPLY, OR THERE
COULD BE AN UNSEEN VIRUS SENT FROM THE PITS OF HELL THAT ARE TRYING TO ELIMINATE ALL OF US. FORCES US TO COSIDER AN POLITICAL ELECTION. I THINK THE IDEAL MEANS TO GUARANTEE THAT WARD 3 IS REP IS ALLOW THE PEOPLE OF WORD THREE TO BALLOT THAT THE INDIVIDUALS OF THIS CITY OWN. I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE ALSO AND I KNOW IT ' S NOT DELIBERATE THAT WE SOMEHOW SUGGEST THAN AN POLITICAL ELECTION IS INFERIOR OR LESS PREFERABLE TO THE CHOICE PROCEDURE. POLITICAL ELECTIONS ARE ADVANTAGES, THAT ' S HOW WE ALL OBTAINED OUR CAR SEATS. I ASSUME WHATEVER [INDISCERNIBLE] IF WE MAKE THE POLITICAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER'OR PAY FOR AN EARLIER POLITICAL ELECTION THAT ' S THE COST WE PAY.I THINK WE CANISTER PLAY BASKETBALL. I BELIEVE WE CONTAINER PHYSICALLY UH ENTER INTO MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND PAY EXPENSES I DON ' T THINK WE MUST PRODUCE A GREATER BAR THAN ALREADY EXISTS TO REST ON THIS COUNCIL FOR FOLK THAT MAY NOT HAVE COMPUTER ACCESSIBILITY, THAT'WOULD HAVE FILLED IN AN APPLICATION BUT ARE STRESSED ABOUT EMPLOYMENT RIGHT CURRENTLY OR FRETTED ABOUT COSTS OR A JOB. BUT I ASSUME TO DATE OURSELVES INTO THINKING THAT WE CAN MEET THE OBSTACLE OF SEEING TO IT THIS PROCESS IS OPEN AND FULLY TRANSPARENT WHEN WE BATTLED WITH THAT UNDER TYPICAL SITUATIONS AND I ' M INCLUDING ME IN THIS, THIS IS THE POSITIVE OUTLOOK OF OUR BENEFIT, I ASSUME. IF WE I UH RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO CONSIDER FILLING THIS SEAT DURING POLITICAL ELECTION BEAUSE THE WORLD IS TRANSFORMED UPSIDE DOWN, NOTHING IS NORMAL, WE ARE UNDER EMERGENCY POWERS TODAY, HAVING THIS CONFERENCE TODAY BECAUSE NOTHING IS THE SAME, AND I WEAR ' T THINK IT ' S REALISTIC THAT PEOPLE WHO BATTLE UNDER REGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CERTAINLY TRULY HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS TO THIS PROCESS AS IT EXISTS.THANK YOU'FOR THAT. WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DECIDES OBVIOUSLY I WILL CERTAINLY SELECT IT AND WE ' LL HAVE A ROBUST CONVERSATION IN FILLING THE SEAT BUT
THIS IS CRITICALLY CRUCIAL AND THESE ARE CHALLENGING TIMES AND I THEY WE'MUST ALLOW THE SEAT BE FILLED UP BY UH ELECTION. THANKS. > > MANY THANKS SIGNIFICANTLY, COUNCIL PARTICIPANT MIDDLETON. APPRECIATE YOU HANGING TOUGH WITH THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY. > > THANKS. SORRY FOR THAT. >> > NOT YOUR FAULT. VARIOUS OTHER COMMENTS? ANYBODY ELSE? MAYOR PRO TEM. > > I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER CABALLERO WAS RAISING HER HAND BUT DISAPPEARING INTO THE >> HISTORY. > > I HAD MY MIKE ON AND TRANSFORM IT OFF. >> > > O.K.. [GIGGLING] > > ALL RIGHT. SORRY, OKAY. I ' LL GO NEXT, MANY THANKS. >> I WANT TO APPRECIATE COUNCIL MEMBER REECE FOR PUTTING THE ROUTINE WITH EACH OTHER AND FOR HIS FUNCTION TO >> CREATE A PROCEDURE THAT I THINK SATISFIES A VARIETY OF OUR GOALS, AND ADDITIONALLY I LISTEN TO COUNCIL MEMBER MIDDLETON ' S PROBLEMS AND OBJECTIONS AND IT IS UH TRUE WE REMAIN IN An EXTREMELY UNMATCHED TIME AND EXTRAORDINARY MINUTE IN OUR CITY. I WEAR ' T, HOWEVER, BELIEVE THAT THAT GETS RID OF United States FROM THE DUTY OF DOING EVERY ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE CONTAINER DO TO HOLD TO THE TREATMENTS THAT WE GOVERN OURSELVES BY AND THE CHARTER THAT CONTROLS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE CAN APPOINT SOMEONE.WE ' RE NOT PREVENTED FROM DOING THAT BY THIS PANDEMIC. WE ARE SIMPLY TESTED TO CONSTRUCT A PROCESS [INDISTINCT]
BY'WHICH INDIVIDUALS CONTAINER OFFER US FEEDBACK IN An ONLINE GLOBE [INDISTINCT] I THINK WE CANISTER DO THAT. MOST OF THE INPUT WE GOT DURING THE VISIT PROCEDURE THAT ADD COUNCIL PARTICIPANT CABALLERO TO OUR COUNCIL WAS USING E-MAIL. WE GOT VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS COMING TO CITY HALL TO REVIEW THE CONSULTATION PROCEDURE BUT WE OBTAINED A GREAT DEAL OF E-MAIL AND LETTERS AND I BELIEVE A PAIR PHONE CALLS ABOUT THE CONSULTATION PROCEDURE, SO THAT ' S A WAY IN WHICH OUR HOME ARE ALREADY USED TO ENGAGING WITH CITY UH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND PROCEDURE IN THE PAST. THIS CONSULTATION WOULD BE FOR AN EVEN'A LITTLE UH SHORTER TIME PERIOD THAN COUNCIL PARTICIPANT CABALLERO ' S FIRST PORTION OF A TERM.JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR-AND-A-HALF, AND TO PUT CITY RESOURCES INTO A SPECIAL POLITICAL ELECTION FOR ONE SEAT FOR LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT A TERM, UM', ESPECIALLY IN A TIME WHERE
WE KNOW THAT OUR RESOURCES ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED DOES NOT FEELING TO ME LIKE A GOOD OPTION. I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN AND WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO CREATE A PROCEDURE WHERE PEOPLE CONTAINER HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD AND CANISTER BE INCLUDED, AND THAT THAT ' S WHAT WE MUST DO, WE OUGHT TO PROGRESS WITH AN APPOINTMENT.I HAVE A COUPLE SUGGESTIONS REGARDING COUNCIL MEMBER REECE ' S RECOMMENDED ROUTINE GIVEN THAT 10th'IS GOOD FRIDAY, I WE WERE TO SIMPLY RELOCATE NOTICE OF JOB TECHNIQUE
TO FOLLOWING MONDAY, 13th, WE COULD MAKE THE APPLICATIONS DUE BY 21st. BIT LESS THAN THE 10 DAYS, IT ' S 8 DAYS, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THAT SUFFICES TIME FOR PEOPLE TO DO A SHORT [INDISTINCT] AND QUESTIONNAIRE, AND WL BE ABLE TO REVIEW THOSE, REGARDING A DAY-AND-A-HALF TO REVIEW THEM BEFORE OUR COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 23RD. THAT ' S MY PROPOSED SCHEDULE TWEAK. MANY THANKS. > > THANKS QUITE. COUNCIL MEMBER CABALLERO. > > THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE, COUNCIL MEMBER REECE
, FOR'PLACING THIS FORWARD. FOR >> MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL PARTICIPANT MIDDLETON ' S> REMARKS. WHILE WE ARE DEFINITELY ENCOUNTERING UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, OUR FUNCTIONS ARE STILL VERY ACTIVE, AND IF WE WERE TO PUT ON HOLD EVERY LITTLE THING TILL THIS PANDEMIC WAS OVER WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS MEETING THIS EVENING OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD NOT BE LOSING OUR COUNCIL PARTICIPANT ALSTON BECAUSE THE FACTOR WE ' RE LOSING HER SO QUICKLY, SO THEY ARE MOVING ON. WE ' RE IN THE HEART OF HAVING TO RELOCATE CITY FORWARD CONSISTING OF OUR ROLES AS COUNCIL MEMBERS– OUR PAST WORK SGS THAT WAS CANCELLED THAT WE WERE GOING TO VOTE ON AND AFTER THAT THIS UPCOMING WE'' LL BE PASSING FUNCTION SESSIONS WHICH SUGGESTS WE ' LL BE PASSING ALL CONTRACTS PRACTICALLY, AND WE ARE STILL– LATER IN APRIL, AND WE ARE ALSO STILL BEHOLDEN TO PASS THE BUDGET PLAN BY JUNE 30TH.'TO THINK THAT WE ' RE NOT UNDERTAKING THE WORK OF GOVENING WHILE TIS FRYING PAN NE DEMIK IS OCCURRING IS NOT TRUE. I ' M PARTICULARLY WORRIED ABOUT THE COST OF AN ELECTION WHEN WE SIMPLY HERD FROM OUR BUDGET PLAN SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TESTING MONETARY CONCERN WE ' RE GOING TO BE CONFRONTING WITH THIS SPENDING PLAN, AND TO HAVE AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER FOR A SEAT THAT WILL BE REUP IN 2021 JUST DOES NOT FEEL LIKE THE IDEAL USAGE FOR RESOURCES, AND WHILE THIS IS CHALLENGING AND I THINK THAT IDEALLY WE'WOULD HAVE A VARIOUS SELECTION, WE ARE NOT DEALT WITH WITH THAT CHOICE.I ' M WORRIED WE NEED TO PASS A BUDGET AND WHAT TAKES PLACE IF WE ARE SECURED THREE-THREE IN JUNE?
