[01:15:06]

THANK YOU, MR TABOR. NEXT TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CO CHAPTER. 50 ENVIRONMENT ARTICLE TO NOISE. ANY HANDS TO WANT TO SPEAK. YES, SIR. EATING EVERYBODY. GARY TALLY 23 23 FORT RICE STREET HERE IN PETERSBURG. PROBABLY SURPRISED TO SEE ME SPEAKING ON THE NOISE ORDINANCE BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR SQUAT. BUT MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN WE MEASURE THIS? DO WE HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND THE PEOPLE TRAINING TO ACTUALLY MEASURE THESE THESE THAT THIS LEVELS OF NOISE. THANK YOU. NEXT. LISTEN, DR TERRY JACKS. DR TERRY JACKSON TO ONE NORTH. SECOND ONE ST. PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA. UM, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK. UM I BELIEVE THIS IS A SECTION OF LARGER PACKAGE AND THAT REALLY KNOW SOME OF THE BOTH PARTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED ON BOTH SIDES IS THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO ME, AND I TRIED TO THINK OF SOME.

OBJECTIVITY DEALING WITH THIS. AND UM, I DO AGREE THAT YOU NEED SOME TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT THAT YOU NEED TO, UM. BE ABLE TO CHECK WITH THE DECIBELS ARE, UM, THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE, SPEAKING RECENTLY ABOUT USING APPS ON THEIR PHONE THAT, QUITE FRANKLY, WERE OUTRAGEOUS NUMBERS. UM BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT LOWERING IT WOULD BE, UM. VERY UH, DIFFICULT FOR BUSINESSES TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THEIR ZONE FOR RESTAURANTS. BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE LIVE THERE. I THINK THAT IS MADE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT. YOU CAN HAVE ACTUAL NOISE OUTSIDE EVERY FOUR DAYS OUT OF SEVEN. THAT'S OVER HALF YEAR WEEK. AND I MEAN, I THINK THAT IT IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE WHAT FEWER THAN THAT WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE, UM THEIR VOLUME OUT THERE OF MUSIC. AT THESE RESTAURANTS WHERE IT'S STILL PRODUCTIVE, AND YOU STILL HAVE A SOURCE OF REVENUE AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE DISTRICT. ON THE WEEKENDS. YOU NEED A LITTLE BIT OF NIGHTLIFE. UM. ANYWAY UH AND SO, THEREFORE I THINK IT SHOULD ALSO BE SHOULD REMAIN AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION SUGGESTED AND THAT, UM, BASICALLY, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED AND YOU NEED TO ENFORCE IT WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT. AND SO ON TO GO OUT THERE WHO'S UM. QUALIFIED TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE NOISE LEVELS OUT THERE AT THESE RESTAURANTS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO SAY THAT WHEN YOU DO DO THIS, YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER, UM. NOISE THAT'S HAPPENING IN PARKS. PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR PARKS.

THERE'S A THING ABOUT MUSIC AND. ALLOW PEOPLE OUT THERE AS WELL. SO THINK ABOUT IT AS A LARGER PACKAGE OTHER THAN WHAT REALLY BROUGHT THIS SUBJECT. KALABANE UM TAKE CARE OF IT AND THAT TYPE OF MANNER, PLEASE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT MR LIN WOOD CHRISTIAN. GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. MY NAME IS ROBERT CHRISTIAN. I WAS OUT OF 14 MISTLETOE STREET HERE IN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG. ONE THING THAT IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO ME. IS THAT. WHERE WE LIVE IN IN A CITY LIKE NEW YORK OR CHICAGO. IT WOULD BE KIND OF HARD FOR US TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE FROM THE L TRAINS. BECAUSE WE LIVE THERE. AND I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS WHEN YOU MOVE ON TOP OF AN ESTABLISHMENT SUCH AS A CLUB OR WHAT HAVE YOU. YOU EXPECT CERTAIN THINGS TO TAKE PLACE? NOW, JUST LIKE WHEN THEY WERE HAVING. TO GET TOGETHER SOME TIME AGO AT THE NEAR THE CIVIC CENTER. THAT NOISE WAS KIND OF LOUD WHERE WE COULD HEAR IT UP ON MISTLETOE ST. BUT WE UNDERSTOOD ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMERTIME. AND I SAY THAT AGAIN TO SAY THIS. NUMBER ONE WITH US SITTING UP HERE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO BRING IN A CASINO AND OTHERS OR LOOKING FOR OTHER BUSINESSES, AND THEN WE ARE RESTRICTING. AND SEE. THAT WAS PROBLEM SOMETIME AGO WHEN YOU STARTED RESTRICTING PETERSBURG KNIFE, NIGHTLIFE. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED. MOST CLUBS. DON'T GET GOING UNTIL 11 O'CLOCK. I SHOULD KNOW, BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME I GET READY TO GO TO SOME.

AND SO TO SAY TO COME DOWN ON THE NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE CLUBS YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND. THAT WOULD PULLS PEOPLE IN. NOW I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE PERSON

[01:20:10]

BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, AND I HOPE THE TORNADO DOESN'T COME THROUGH WHEN I SAY THIS. THAT KIND OF AGREE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. AND AGAIN, SO FOR TORNADO COMES YOU ALL KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED. BUT THIS IS REALLY NOT A GOOD IDEA. HOWEVER I WOULD SUGGEST AGAIN AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN GO BACK TO THE TABLE. WITH THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND THE RESIDENTS INCOME TO SOME KIND OF COMPROMISE. BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU AGAIN. IF WE ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE ANY KIND OF PEOPLE COME HERE AT NIGHT LIFE AND POSSIBLY OPEN UP BUSINESSES THEMSELVES OR IF WE TRYING TO DO WHAT? RICHMOND COULDN'T WHY? I DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER TALK SHOW. THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, UM, NEXT. SEEING THEM. WHAT? NO OTHER HANDS, MR TABOR. YOU WENT TO ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE OH, THAT WE HAVE ONE MORE IN THE BACK.

LARRY. GOOD EVENING. NAME WAS LARRY. WHOEVER LIVING 6 20. GROVE AVENUE AND THIS A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENT. THIS. I GOTTA CUT HAVE SEVERAL. COMPLAINTS WHERE I HAD MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. ABOUT MY NEIGHBORS HAVING A BUNCH OF PARTIES. AND THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

UNDERSTAND PARTY PARTY. YOU KNOW CLUB EARLIER THEY HAD PARTIES AND DRINKING STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT. WHEN THIS TYPE OF STUFF IS HAPPENING A RESIDENTIAL AREA. LIKE 12 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. WHEN PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES AND. THE NEIGHBORS AND WHITENING PEOPLE OVER TO DISRUPT LIVES AND STUFF. SO WHAT ABOUT THAT? AND, UH, I HAVE COURT. AND I MADE SEVERAL COMPLIANCE AND STUFF. AND SCHOOL THINGS IS GETTING REAL OUT OF HAND. OVER AT 6 24. YOU KNOW? THEY HAVE THEY HAVE PARTNERS. YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO BE DISRUPT. BUT I WOULD DIVE IN NIGHT. UH, MOST RECENT THINK THEY WILL SERVE THE NIGHT. THE POLICE GAME. THEY TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT LEAVE THEY WITNESSED HIGH WAS. EXCUSE ME. I BELIEVE SEVEN. THIS NEED TO GET DONE ABOUT YOU KNOW THE ATTENDANTS. ARE WAITING PEOPLE OVER TO DISRUPT. NOT ONLY MY LIFE, OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AS WELL. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SEEING NO OTHER HANDS. THIS PUBLIC HEARING. NOW CLOSE THIS. UM NEXT, WE HAVE A DISCUSSION OF QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL START OFF FROM FIRST QUESTION IS THE MEASURING OF THE NOISE. WE HAVE EQUIPMENT TO MEASURE THE DECIBEL LEVEL, MR TABLE. YOU WANT TO ADDRESS IT? THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WAS JUST RAISED IN THE PUBLIC AREAS. HONOURABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR MEMBERS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

INDEED THE CODE UM REQUIRES THAT THE POLICE CHIEF OR THE POLICE CHIEF'S DESIGNEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING THIS. SECTION OF THE CODE. AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES INDEED HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT IS ABLE TO MEASURE THE DECIBEL LEVEL OF NOISE AND THEY DO SO AND ENFORCING THE ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, UM QUESTION, COUNCILMAN COOPER. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. UM AND ME. GIVE US ALL A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY DOESN'T GO BACK TOO FAR. BUT EARLIER THIS FALL COUNCIL SENT A RESOLUTION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. UM. TITLED A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING AN

[01:25:04]

ATTENDED THE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE ONLY MOTION THAT WAS MADE WAS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE DECIBEL LEVELS. TO MIRROR THE DECIBEL LEVELS. OH INCORPORATED IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND. NOISE ORDINANCE. I BELIEVE FOR ONLY A SPECIFIC AREA, BUT I COULDN'T REALLY TELL FROM THE MOTION. THE SCOPE OF THE RICHMOND ORDINANCE. SO PROBLEM ONE. WELL. UH PROBLE.

ONE IS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION NEVER ADDRESSED THE ORDINANCE THAT. COUNCILS SENT THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON. UH PROBLEM, TOO. I THINK A LESS SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM. IF YOU LOOK AT THE AGENDA PACKET, UH, PAGE 97 SORRY. 1, 97 AND 1 98. THERE'S NO PROPOSED AMENDMENT. SORRY. THERE'S NO PROPOSED ORDINANCE. UH, IT'S JUST A RESTATEMENT. OF.

SECTION 50 DAYS. 36 NO, WHEREAS NO, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED. NO ORDINANCE NUMBER? NO NADA. UM.

SO I DON'T KNOW QUITE WHERE THE FAULT LIES. BUT IT DOESN'T LOVE WITH COUNSEL. AND CONSEQUENTLY, I MOVED TO TABLE THIS MATTER UNTIL SUCH TIME AS STAFF GIVES COUNCIL A PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. ADDRESSING THE RESOLUTION THAT COUNCIL SENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION EARLIER THIS FALL. RIGHT THAT IS COSMIC COVERS MOTION TO TABLE.

COUNCILMAN MYERS. EMOTION IN THE SECOND DISCUSSION DISCUSSION, COUNCILMAN HILL. I'M OKAY WITH THE TABLE IN UH, DON'T YOU THIN. I NEED SOME CLARITY ON MR TABOR IS. AND MAYBE THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE DISCUSSION WAS VERY HEATED BEFORE. WHAT I'M UM, HERE IN THIS. YOU ALL STARTED DISCUSSING ABOUT TIMES CLOSING AND ALL OF THAT. HOW DID THAT GET? BECAUSE THE DIRECTIVE FROM COUNCIL WAS JUST ON THE NORTH AUDIENCE. HOW DID HEARTED THAT DISCUSSION GET TO CLOSING AT A CERTAIN TIME OR STAY AND OPEN IT BECAUSE THAT'S THAT WASN'T WITH THE COUNCIL WAS TALKING ABOUT.

SO WHEN WE GIVE SOMETHING TO COMMISSIONER, UH, ONE OF OUR BOARDS. THEN THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DISCUSS. NOT ABOUT. CLOSING DOWN BECAUSE I HAD ALL SORTS OF BUSINESSES COME INTO MY BUSINES, SAYING THAT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO CLOSE THEM DOWN AT A CERTAIN TIME AND NO WAY THAT WE HAVE EVEN TALKED ABOUT THAT. SO IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE CARRY OUT WHATEVER DIRECTIVE. THAT THE COUNCIL PUT BEFORE AND IF THEY START GOING GOING IN A AREA THERE WASN'T. GIVEN TO BAD COUNSEL. PLEASE KEEP THEM BACK ON TRACK. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, I WASN'T THERE. BUT. UH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAME TO ME AND SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE BUSINESS IS DOWN AND MAYBE THEY GOT THE BUSINESS IS MIXED UP. CLOSING THE BUSINESS. WITH THE TIME I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT WAS MORE THAN TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO ME. UH JUST AFTER YOUR MEETING. SO PLEASE, WHATEVER DIRECTIVE THAT COUNCIL WHATEVER GEAR PLEASE, JUST STAY ON THAT TOPIC. AND DOING THINGS WON'T GET BLOWN ALL OUT OF PROPORTION. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VOTE, ALL RIGHT? AT THIS TIME.

[01:55:05]

CERTAINLY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS. BUT THE. I THINK THE INTENT IS TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW IT'S A CONTRACT POSITION. WE NEED A CLEAR DEPARTMENT. WITH A CLEAR MISSION STATEMENT. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I AGREE WITH THAT. AS TO THE TOURISM ASPECT. CURRENTLY THAT'S UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR I WOULD NEED TO THINK MORE ABOUT THAT PART. TOURISM PART BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO CREATE A THE. STAND UP, STAND ALONE COMMUNICATION GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT AS A AS AN ENTITY IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.

COUNCIL MACABRE. MR MYERS. THIS IS YOUR MOTION, AND IT MAY WELL BE A GREAT IDEA. AS I SAY. I JUST DON'T KNOW. UM. COULD WE MINIMIZE? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PUTTING THIS ON OUR AGENDA FOR DEEPER DISCUSSION AND UM, ANALYSIS. AT ALL MEETING ON DECEMBER 14. I'M CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO TRIP YOU UP OR TRIP UP A GOOD IDEA. BUT WE DO NEED TO GET IT RIGHT AND UH, IF THIS.

SEE I THINK THE TIME MAY BE BENEFICIAL, UM, TO GETTING IT RIGHT. BUT, UH, AS I SAY. UH, I.

I AM CONVINCED OF YOU GETTING IT RIGHT. WELL THE BUT IT CERTAINLY IS A NECESSARY TOOL FOR THE CITY, PETERSBURG TO MOVE FORWARD. C TWO MANAGER ACCEPTS IT. BUT WHY WOULD I TABLE IT UNTIL DECEMBER 14TH? WELL, I THOUGHT THE CITY MANAGER SAID HE HE HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS UNTIL THE MOTION WAS MADE AND COUNCIL IS THE DIRECTOR. WELL I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, UH, I THINK. WE ARE ALL NEED TO ACT. UM. HMM DELIBERATELY OR WITH WITH DELIBERATIONS. UH AND THERE IS SOME QUESTION THAT THE CITY MANAGER RAISED AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT IT, TOO. AS TO WHILE WE WOULD PUT TOURISM UNDER THE INFORMATION. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THIS WAS TITLED. BUT SOMETHING ABOUT INFORMATION. DIRECTOR AND WITH THIS PERSON TO REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE CITY MANAGER AND IS THAT WHERE MISS WILLIAMS REPORTS NOW? DOES SHE? ABSOLUTELY. SO THAT WOULD NOT BE A CHANGE. UM. UH, I'M TORN. I REALLY AM. UH COUNCILMAN MYERS. OUR RESPECT TREMENDOUSLY. YOUR

[02:00:09]

THE PROGRESS OF THE CITY. THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY DELAYS AS IT IS. AND SO I WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THE CITY FORWARD WHILE I'M SITTING ON THIS COUNCIL AND HOPEFULLY BEING IMPORTANT PIECE AS TO MAKING THIS CONGLOMERATE WORK FOR THE CITY UNDER ONE ROOF. NO. COULD I ADD A COMMENT ON THAT? YES, MR DIARRHEA. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION AND I THINK THE CITY IS GROWING AT SUCH A PACE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A CLEAR THE APARTMENT. AND DEPARTMENT HEAD. THE ONLY THE ONLY PART I WANT TO THINK MORE ABOUT IS WHERE TOURISM WOULD GO. BUT CERTAINLY I'M I'M FINE WITH THE MOTION TO ESTABLISH THE DEPARTMENT, SO IT'S NO LONGER MORE OF A CONTRACT ID POSITION.

OKAY UM, MR RATHER OF THIS, UM, PASSES, CAN WE? UM, UM HAVE A PUT IT ON OUR NEXT. COUNCIL GENERAL TO HAVE A DISCUSSION OF THE FRAMEWORK OF HOW WE WANT TO BUILD OUT AND ALSO TO, UM.

FIGURE OUT WHAT FUNDING POSSIBILITIES THAT WERE BEING BECAUSE WE NEED SOME TIME TO WORK OUT THE PARTICULARS, BUT JUST TO GET TO WHERE COUNCILMAN MYERS IS GOING, UM. WE HAVE. WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG, AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE OUR CITY. AND UM, THE BIGGEST, UM, PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE NOW IS, UM, BEING THE BIGGEST SECRET. IN VIRGINIA, SO WE HAVE TO PUT THOSE DOLLARS AND PROMOTING SUPPORTING BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS GOING HERE. SO IF WE CAN PUT THAT FRAMEWORK TOGETHER UNDER THIS DEPARTMENT TO FINALLY, UH, TELL THE PETERSBURG STORY, I THINK IS WHERE WE, UM WANT TO BE. SO, UM.

I BELIEVE OF THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO WORK ON, AND I WILL ADD IT TO OUR. MEETING AS WELL COUNSELOR MAYA AND MISS SMITH. YOU ARE RELUCTANT WITH RESPECT TO TERRORISM, WE CAN EXTRACT THAT. AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MOTION. WOULD THAT BE OKAY? I'M COUNCIL COVER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THE TOURISM OUT OF THAT IS THAT WOULD RESOLVE MY CONCERN.

OUR LACK OF RETAIL LOCK LACK OF BEING ABLE TO GET ADDITIONAL GROCERY STORES DRUG STORES DOWNTOWN. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN BASED ON OUR MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME. AND HAVING THEM THERE. THEY SAID THAT THOSE PEOPLE THAT INVEST IN COMMUNITIES THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR NEED. THEY CARE ABOUT

[02:25:01]

GOING BACK TO WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE WHOLE POSSIBLE GAMING COMING TO PETERSBURG HAVING 1500. JOBS PAYING 60,000 YEAR OR MORE IS, UH, WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SHOT IN THE ARM TO HELP US BRING MORE RETAIL HERE TO THE CITY OF PETERSBURG. UM. THAT CONCLUDES WHAT I HAVE, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 11 ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA. WE HAVE ITEM EIGHT. SEVEN A IS WHERE WE WOULD START REQUEST THE SCHEDULE, PUBLIC HEARINGS OR DECEMBER 14TH AND CONSIDERATION OF THE ORDINANCE APPROVING A PETITION SUBMITTED BY PBF LLC TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 12 25 12 55. AND 42 20. HARRISON CREEK BOULEVARD FROM P U D WITH B TWO GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH CONDITIONS TO P U D. NO RESTRICTIONS TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF 52 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED MARKET RIG RENTAL HOMES. AND THAT COMES TO MR TABOR, RIGHT? YES. HONOURABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I BELIEVE IN LOOKING AT THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA. UNFORTUNATELY THE ATTACHMENT UM AND THE RESOLUTION THAT IS, UM. CONNECTED TO THAT ITEM IS INCORRECT. THE ITEM AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE TITLE, AND I BELIEVE IN THE REPORT. UM THERE'S ACCURATELY DESCRIBED THE PROPOSAL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. RIGHT CAUSE MACABRE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. AND THANK YOU, MR TABLE. YES THE AGENDA PACKET HAS MESSED UP. UH, PAGES FOUR AND FIVE. REFER TO PROPERTY OWNED ON HARRISON CREEK BOULEVARD. I'M SORRY. UM. I FEEL

[15. City Manager's Report]

AND SLASH A MEANING, UH, NOT APPLICABLE. AND YET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING 52.

SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED MARKET RENTAL HOMES. UH THERE'S GOT TO BE A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IN TERMS OF. INCREASED DEMAND FROM MUNICIPAL SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, SCHOOLS, POLICE FIRE AND SO ON. AND SO WHEN THIS ITEM COMES BACK TO US. I WOULD LIKE FOR STAFF TO GIVE US A REALISTIC ESTIMATE, AND IT MAY BE A RANGE OF NUMBERS, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. BUT I THINK THE COST OF THE CITY IS CERTAINLY. UH IT'S THERE IS A COST TO THE CITY. AND I KNOW IT'S HARD TO ESTIMATE WHAT THAT COST WILL BE. BUT UH, CONFIDENT IT'S MORE THAN ZERO EVEN AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, UH, THE INCREASE IN REAL ESTATE TAXES. SO UM, THANK YOU, MR MAYOR, AND MR TABOR FOR ALLOWING ME TO COMMENT ON SEVEN A. AND I THINK WHERE WE END UP IS THAT. THIS WILL BE RE ADVERTISED FOR PUBLIC HEARING. UH ON DECEMBER, THE 14TH. SEE THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS HIS HAND ON HIS, UH, HIS MICROPHONE BUTTON. AND SO I WILL. I DEFER TO HIM. ALL RIGHT, MR WILLIAMS. YES, SIR. MR. MAYOR, UM. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST READING IT IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ADVERTISED YET, SO I THINK THEY CAN MAKE THE TEXT AMENDMENTS THAT COUNCILMAN CUFF BERT IS REFERENCING AND STILL KEEP IT ON TRACK WITH THE ORIGINAL REQUEST TO SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING. BECAUSE AT THAT POINT SHE WOULD MOVE FORWARD THE ADVERTISEMENT, SO IT'S NOT GOING

[02:30:04]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CITY ATTORNEY AND THANK YOU, MR PARA. OKAY ALRIGHT, COUNSELOR COVER IF WE ALSO HAVE A ANOTHER ITEM, REMOVING THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM. EIGHT F. YES I BELIEVE IT'S SEVEN. IF BUT EXACTLY, UH, THAT'S STARTS ON PAGE 30 OF OUR AGENDA PACKAGE. AND FOR THE PUBLIC THIS AGENDA PACKET. IF YOU HAVE A SAW IT YOU WOULD LIKELY NOT EVER WANT TO SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL. UH THIS THING IS, UH, 300. UH 90 SOME PAGES LONG THIS TIME, BUT IN ANY EVENT BACK TO SEVEN F, UM THE THINGS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE. UH ARE AGAIN THE COST OF THE CITY IS UNDERSTATED OR NOT STATED. UM AND. UH I REALIZED THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AGAINST THIS, BUT, UH, WHEN THIS PROPOSAL COMES BACK TO US, I WOULD LIKE THE STAFF TO GIVE US ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. NOT ONLY THE COST OF THE CITY, UH, TO INCLUDE THE ANTICIPATED CAUSE OF ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES, SCHOOLS, POLICE FIRE AND SO ON. BUT ALSO I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO, UH, TUSSLE WITH THE, UH. ESTIMATED HOME PRICE THAT IS REPRESENTED IN THESE PAPERS, FOR EXAMPLE, U, THE ESTIMATE IS THAT HOUSE ON BLAKE STREET IS GOING TO SELL FOR $206,000. UH I THINK THAT DOES NOT PASS THE LAUGH TEST. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES. BUT I WOULD LIKE STAFFS INSIGHT INTO WHETHER THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE, UH, VOTE ON THIS. UH, AND ALSO STAY OF HAS NOT INDICATED WHICH LOTS ARE NOT BUILDABLE. UH I COULD PICK OUT QUICKLY. UM.

THREE OF THEM THAT WERE NOT BUILDABLE LOTS TO NINE AND 16. THEY WERE TOO NARROW. FOR AN R THREE. THEY HAVE TO HAVE A MINIMUM WIDTH OF 50 FT. IF IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, AND THESE WERE ALL UNDER ALL THOSE THREE, LARGE TO NINE, AND 16 WERE TOO TOO NARROW. THERE ALSO ARE OTHER REQUIREMENTS. MINIMUM SQUARE FEET OF LOT, AND IT MAY BE THAT EACH OF THESE LOTS OF MEETS THAT REQUIREMENT. I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T TAKE OUT MY CALCULATOR AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE LOTS. BUT IF STAFF WOULD HIGHLIGHT FOUR COUNCIL WHEN THIS PROPOSAL COMES BEFORE COUNCIL. UM WHICH LOTS ARE NOT BUILDABLE. OF. SO UM, U, WITH THAT WITH THOSE COMMENTS, UH, MOVE THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER. 14TH. NOTE THAT THERE WAS A MOTION TO SCHEDULED A PUBLIC HEARING FOR DECEMBER 14TH. RIGHT? COUNCILMAN MYERS. RIGHT.

COUGH DROP. FOR MISS JOHN. IT'S A NEW DAY IN PETERSBURG AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB, AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU

[02:40:06]

THANK YOU. NEXT MOVE ON ITEM 13 UNFINISHED BUSINESS. WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION OF THE REFER ORDINANCE, MR TORRIO. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CAN YOU PULL UP THE POWER POINT, MR GAMBARI'S. REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL FACILITY AUTHORITY. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN AS I'VE PRESENTED IT BEFORE. OTHERWISE THINK AS A COURTESY TO COUNCILOR WESTBROOK. I SHOULD. SO HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'LL GO THROUGH IT BRIEF, QUICKLY AND BRIEFLY. ALL RIGHT, SO THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY OR RIFFA. THE ISSUE IS SHOULD WE ENJOY? SHALL WE JOIN THE REFER? DO THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE COSTS? THIS IS A REGIONAL AUTHORITY THAT'S ALLOWED BY THE STATE STATUTE FOR COLLABORATIVE ACTION ON PROJECTS THAT HAVE A REGIONAL RATHER THAN JUST A LOCAL SCOPE. PROJECTS SUCH AS THE PHARMACEUTICAL CLUSTER. HAVE A REGIONAL IMPACT ON THE COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE. RELATED SPINOFF, CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT AND ULTIMATELY, JOBS AND HOUSING. THE MAYOR ALLUDED TO THIS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL CLUSTER. RIGHT THE RATIONALE FOR TAKING A REGIONAL APPROACH FOR PRIMARILY ECONOMIC PROJECTS IS WE OBTAIN AN ECONOMY OF SCALE ON COSTS. THIS REDUCES THE HIGH COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVEN MARKETING OF THINGS LIKE AN INDUSTRIAL PARK OR THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AREA.

AH! THE BENEFIT OF JOINING A RIFFA IS IF YOU APPROACH THESE PROJECTS AS A SHARED PROJECT, A REGIONAL PROJECT. YOU CAN SHARE THE COST, THUS REDUCE YOUR OWN COSTS AND INCREASED THE BENEFITS. THERE IS A DOWNSIDE THAT THE REVENUES AND REVENUE GROWTH. DUBAI AGREEMENT HAVE TO BE SHARED AS WELL. BUT. ALL PROJECTS CAN BE ENTERED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. SO YOU LOOK AT. A REGIONAL PARTICIPATION ON A PROJECT TO DETERMINE IF THE BENEFITS DO EXCEED THE COSTS.

OTHERWISE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ENTER. IT GIVES YOU THE. CAPABILITY OR AUTHORITY TO ENTER A REGIONAL PROJECT, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION OR DUTY. ANOTHER PRIMARY BENEFIT IS THAT THE STATE AND GRAND TOURS A PARTICULAR WANT TO SEE REGIONAL PROJECTS? THE STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP. IS VERY BIG ON REGIONAL PARTICIPATION. THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST ORGANIZED A REFER OR INCURRED BY VIRGINIA GATEWAY REGION, WHICH IS THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GROUP HERE. WITH SOME REIMBURSEMENT. AH SOME SMALL REIMBURSEMENT, OF COURSE, MINIMAL THAT SHARED AND SPREAD ACROSS ALL THE MEMBERS. DUES CANNOT BE ASSESSED WITHOUT A MEMBER MUNICIPALITIES APPROVAL. UM ONCE ORGANIZED, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DECIDE WHICH PROJECTS TO PARTICIPATE IN WALK AWAY FROM WITHOUT OBLIGATION OR RISK. YEAH BY WAY OF A PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT. ALRIGHT. SO AN ANALYSIS OF A RIVER. WE CAN JOIN THESE WITHOUT RISK OF COMMITMENT. TO ANY PROJECTS, WHICH ALLOWS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ALLOW US THE CAR SHARE LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVEN MARKETING WITH ECONOMY OF SCALE OF COSTS, REDUCING COST OUR TAXPAYERS. FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW, OUR COST TO DEVELOP THE POOR CREEK PROJECT. IS ABOUT $30 MILLION. WHICH WE DO PLAN TO OFFSET WITH GRANTS. BUT WE ARE TAKING OUT A LOAN INITIALLY ON THAT SO A RIFF WOULD HAVE HAD ALLOWED US TO COST SHARE APPROACH PROJECT LIKE THAT. BUT WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT IN ONE CURRENTLY. A REFER WOULD ALLOW US TO SPREAD OUT OUR COST REGIONALLY AND CONSIDER WHETHER THE PROJECT WOULD MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE TO ENTER THE AGREEMENT WITH OTHER MEMBERS. RESULTING IN A NET BENEFIT TO PETERSBURG. SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO JOIN THE

[02:45:06]

OKAY THANK YOU FOR PRESENTATION. I'M COUNCIL. MYA'S MR. MISSISSIPPI MANAGER AND LISTENING TO YOUR PRESENTATION. I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SINCE THE LAST. PRESENTATION AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE WOULD SHARE. IN THE COST, BUT DIDN'T SHARING IN THE COST. IS TO BENEFIT THE PARTIES. BUT HOW WOULD HOW WOULD IF WE'RE GOING TO I GUESS SHE ARE. HOLD ON. LET ME THINK OF THE WORD THE BEST WORD FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. WOULD INTEREST OF BENEFIT AS ANYONE ELSE GOING TO GET OUT OF IT. IF THEY INVEST IN OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

RIGHT THE FIRST TASK WOULD BE TO QUANTIFY THE BENEFITS. LET'S SAY WE SHARE THE COST OF A REGIONAL WASTEWATER PLANT. THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT, UH, PRINCE GEORGE OR THEN WITTY OR SOMEBODY. COULD CONNECT TO OUR SYSTEM AND USE OUR SYSTEM UPGRADE FOR MORE FORCE MEANS FOR SEWER OR LIST STATIONS OR. WATER UM, WATER, CONNECTIVE, ITTY INTEROPERABILITY THAT TO ASSIST THEM AND SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT OR JUST BACK UP WATER SYSTEMS. SHOULD THEIR WATER GO DOWN, SO IF WE UPGRADE OUR CAPACITY, THERE'S A POTENTIAL THEY COULD. CONNECT TO THAT. COUNCIL MINE.

WE PROVIDE WATER TO THESE AREAS. ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, I JUST UNDERSTANDEE HOW.

WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLAN OR ANY OTHER FACILITY OTHER THAN A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE ARE.

PROFITING FROM AND THEN SOMEONE BUYS INTO THAT BARREL, AND THEY PROFIT FROM WHATEVER WE PROFIT FROM, AND WE ALL PROFIT TOGETHER. BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THE ANALOGY WITH RESPECT TO THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT, PLAY IT WHEN WE PROVIDE THE WATER SERVICE AND. AND I BELIEVE SOME OF THE OTHER COUNTIES HAVE THEIR OWN WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, BUT. AND THE CONNECTIVITY ALSO EXPLAIN TO CONNECTIVITY TO ME AGAIN BECAUSE I MAYBE I'M JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THIS IS PRIMARILY A PUBLIC WORKS CONNECTION. OUR ANSWER, BUT LET ME GIVE IT A SHOT. SO LET'S SAY YOU UPGRADE YOUR M G D IN A WASTEWATER PLANT AND THEN SURROUNDING AREA HAS MORE DEVELOPMENT AND NEEDS MORE. UH ABILITY TO MOVE. SEWERAGE TO THE WASTEWATER PLANT. THEY WOULD CONNECT TO YOUR SYSTEM TO GAIN ACCESS TO THAT A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. CANNOT PROCEED UNTIL THERE IS SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE GROUND SO THEY WOULD SIMPLY PIGGYBACK ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PINCH, GEORGE WE HAD A CONVERSATION TODAY IS GROWING. THEY'RE INTERESTED IN SOME CONNECTIVITY FOR BACKUP WATER.

FOR OUR SYSTEM AND. IT FACILITATES THEIR DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALSO THEIR PUBLIC SAFETY.

BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CAPACITY TO GENERATE THE WATER REQUIRED. HER HOUSEHOLD UNIT. FOR SUBDIVISION. THE OTHER EXAMPLE WITH THE ON. THE CLASSIC CASE FOR THE DUST REAL PART.

LET'S SAY WE JUST STARTED AN INDUSTRIAL PARK FROM SCRATCH. THE. INDUSTRIAL PARKS BENEFIT THE JOB CREATION OF THE SURROUNDING REGION. THEY DON'T JUST COME FROM THE NEIGHBORING.

MUNICIPALITY SO LET'S SAY YOU JUST CREATED INDUSTRIAL PARK BORDERED SURROUNDING COUNTIES.

OR IT WASN'T RIGHT INSIDE PETERSBURG BUT BORDERED SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THEN THE JOBS WOULD GO INTO THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES, AND SO THEY WOULD HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE JOB CREATION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUANTIFY THE POTENTIAL JOBS TO THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THEN

[02:50:01]

BUT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SITUATION IS THAT WE OWN THE MAJORITY. OF IT, AND I'M TRYING TO SEE HOW UM, ADDING MORE. TURN IT. TO THAT SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGH.

THESE FOLKS MAY BUY INTO IT, BUT THAT'S IN THAT. IS THERE AN EQUILIBRIUM THERE, THEN? I'M NOT HEARING. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A CRACK AT THIS? WAS IT THIS. SO I'M GONNA APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE RIVER AND HOW IT TIES INTO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. BUT IF YOU ALLOW ME TO TAKE SOME TIME AND DO SOME RESEARCH. I'LL MAKE SURE I GET YOUR WRITTEN RESPONSE IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE. NO GOOD. THAT'S FINE. JUST JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. HOW THIS WOULD BE USEFUL AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. I UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR THE INDUSTRIAL PARK OR ANY OTHER LAND THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE SHARED REVENUE. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS. BUT. IN SHARED REVENUE. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SEE, UM I INVEST IN SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING OUT. BASICALLY FINANCIALLY. UM BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE NOW THEY'RE THIS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BECAUSE THEY STAYED WITH THE THERE IS SOME IN EFFICIENCIES. THERE AND I'M TRYING TO SEE EVEN IF FOLKS INVEST IN IT. UM WHAT WOULD BE. YOU KNOW THE BENEFIT OF EXPANDING OR. OR OR OR DOING ANY UPGRADES TO IT, AND THEN WE'RE FEEDING IT WITH MORE WASTE AND IT ENDS UP THAT THE CITY PETERSBURG. IS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY TO CLEAN IT UP ALL OVER AGAIN. THAT'S AND THEN ALL THESE OTHER FOLKS HAVE THE RIGHT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND TO REMOVE THEMSELVES. AND IF WE'RE LEFT HOLDING THE BED YES. I HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING THAT NOW.

OKAY SO WHAT? WHAT THE SURROUNDING JURISDICTION WOULD BE PURCHASING IS IF THEY SAY THEY HAVE A SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AND THEY HAVE A GREATER NEED FOR WASTEWATER REMOVAL. RATHER THAN IT'S CHEAPER FOR THEM, RATHER TO BUILD THEIR OWN PLANT OR LIFT STATIONS SIMPLY TO HAVE PAID FOR US TO EXTEND. OR CAPACITY TO THEM, AND THEN WE WOULD THEY WOULD PAY US FOR THAT. FOR A REVENUE COST SHARE SO THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE THAT REVENUE FOR THAT COST. THE BENEFIT TO US WOULD BE. WE GET THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO OF. SET OR INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS. THE BENEFIT TO THEM WOULD BE THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUILD A WASTEWATER PLANT. THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THE POOR CREEK PROJECT IS GOING TO HAVE. UM MORE BENEFIT THAN JUST TO THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND THE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA BY ADDING MORE WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY TO THE SURROUNDING AREA. DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT ALREADY, SO THIS IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR. IT'S JUST THE CLASSIC CASE ON ECONOMY OF SCALE, AS IF.

IF IT'S A THE POOR CREEK PROJECT HAD STARTED FROM SCRATCH, AND WE WERE IN A REFER, THEN WE WOULD LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREAS WHO WOULD BENEFIT AND WE WOULD DETERMINE WHAT THEIR COST SHARE WOULD BE BASED ON THEIR BENEFIT. AGAIN THE BENEFIT TO THE SURROUNDING AREA WOULD BE HEY, IF YOU BUILD A PLANT WE WON'T HAVE TO. WE WOULD SIMPLY TAP INTO YOUR LIFT STATION OR. OR TREATMENT PLANTS, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. THAT'S SO THAT REDUCES OUR COSTS AND WILL PAY YOU CITY CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BENEFIT EACH EACH MUNICIPALITY WOULD NEED. TO ASSESS THAT ON THEIR OWN MERIT. IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. EVERYONE IN EACH EACH INDIVIDUA.

MUNICIPALITY WOULD HAVE A SEPARATE CALCULATION. HOPE THAT CLARIFIES THAT SONG. PICK. YOU

[02:55:08]

I HATE TO DO THIS TO US. THE REAL AND YOU BEHAVE YOURSELF. OH, UM I MEAN, MY BLANK. MY THING IS THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT ASSISTANCE AND FOLKS TO SHARE. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS WASTE WHAT YOU. WE BARELY GET FOLKS TO PAY THE ORDER BILL. FROM THESE OTHER LOCALITIES. UM AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON. THIS HAS BEEN OUR ISSUE FOR LONG BEFORE I GOT ON CITY COUNCIL CURRENTLY, WHILE I WANT CITY HAS BEEN 11 YEARS. AND THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO LOCALITIES PAYING THE FAIR SHARE. OF THE WAR TO BUILD AND WE HAVE A WATER AUTHORITY, YOU KNOW, BUT WE HAVE THE LION'S SHARE. BUT THE CITY OF PETERSBURG HAS THE HIGHEST BILL.

AND SO WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT YOU MIGHT SAY, MAYBE A BENEFIT TO EVERYONE ELSE. WHAT IS THE REAL BENEFIT TO THE CITY OF HEAT? ISBERG, AND THAT'S WHAT. IS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, AND I'M A YIELD TO MY CO COUNSEL. MR CUPBOARD. I KNOW HE CAN WAIT. THAT COUNCIL COVER. WELL, WE COUNSEL ON MYERS, YOU'VE. DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO READ MY MIND. UM. MR CITY MANAGER. WE ALL APPLAUD YOUR. COMMITMENT TO PETERSBURG AND YOU'RE FORWARD THINKING AND YOUR DESIRE TO WORK. TWO PETERSBURG'S BENEFIT. BY JOINING WHERE IT MAKES SENSE WITH OTHER SURROUNDING LOCALITIES. AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT. I DON'T WANT TO DEVELOP THE MINDSET THAT THIS IS CHARLIE AGAINST STEWART. THAT'S. THAT'S NOT NOT WHAT I WANT AT ALL. YOU'VE GOT GREAT IDEAS. AND I'M CONFIDENT YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT WAS GREAT IDEAS. THAT'S IT. TWO POINTS, ONE WE CAN DO ANY OF THESE PROJECTS WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WITHOUT A ROUGHER MR. UM. UH GAME. GATEWAY BOSWEL, WHO WAS WITH US BEFORE TOLD US YES, THAT'S TRUE. UM AND THE ONLY THING WE WOULD BE SAVING AS SOME KIND OF ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. SO THAT'S THAT'S 0.1. UH EVEN WITHOUT A RUFFLE, WE CAN STILL WORK. UH IN TANDEM WITH, SAY, PRINCE GEORGE, OR DINNER VIDEO COLONIAL HEIGHTS IF THE NEED ARISES IF THE PROJECT ARISES NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU A NIGHTMARE WITH YOU THAT I HAVE.

THIS IS WHAT I'M THINKING. OH, MY GOODNESS. GRACIOUS. THIS IS THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE. UM.

SUPPOSE THE WE JOINED THE ROUGHER. AND THE RUFUS SUPPORTS THE FUNDING AND BUILDING OF A PHARMACEUTICAL CLUSTER IN PRINCE GEORGE. OKAY? AND WE'RE NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT THAT. AND THAT PROJECT GOES FORWARD WITH PETERSBURG BEING A MEMBER OF THE ROUGHER AND THAT WOULD BE REPRESENTED TO THE FOLKS IN RICHMOND. EVEN PETERSBURG AS A MEMBER OF THIS REFER AND THE RUFUS SUPPORTS THIS WELL, EVEN IF WE VOTED AGAINST IT, WE COULD BE. OUT VOTED SO MAYBE THE SOUTHERN MEMBERS AND THE VOTE WOULD BE 6 TO 1 AND PRINCE GEORGE WOULD GO TO RICHMOND AND SAY, AND THE ROUGHEST SUPPORTS THIS. AND PETERSBURG IS A MEMBER OF THE RIVER. UH WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO STOP THAT PROJECT AND THEY'RE GOING TO STEAL THE GOLD OUT OF OUR TEETH. AND THAT CONCERNS ME. I JUST SEE THAT THIS SETS US UP TO BE BULLIED BY OUR BIGGER, MORE AFFLUENT NEIGHBORS. SO. HELP BECAUSE WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME THING WITHOUT BINDING OURSELVES TO A ROUGHER. AND BECAUSE I THINK THERE COULD BE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. OF JOINING THE ROUGHER, UM. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME SEEING YESTERDAY THIS. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THANK YOU.

COULD I JUST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRST THING IS WELL, LET ME ANSWER. COUNCILOR MYERS FIRST QUESTION. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR LOST WATER? SO LET'S SAY WE WERE IN A RIFFA AND THERE WAS A.

WE WERE MAKING $100 ON WATER. BUT AH. SURROUNDING COUNTY WAS CONNECTED TO A PROJECT THROUGH

APPLY RESEARCH TO OUR PROGRAMS AS WE LEARN FROM THE COMMUNITY WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE, AND SO THESE ARE KIND OF THE BASICS OF I M C. A AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FIRST AND FOREMOST IS ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND LEARNING RECOVERY. SO WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH WORKING WITH STUDENTS WHO ARE ON GRADE LEVEL WITH THEIR HOMEWORK, HELP OR REINFORCING, UM GRADE LEVEL SKILLS OR IF THAT MIGHT BE PULLING IN SOME TEACHERS TO COME IN AND DO SOME REMEDIATION DURING THE STUDENTS TIME WITH US. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GETTING REINFORCEMENT, RECOVERY OR ADVANCEMENT. IN THEIR SKILLS. SECOND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE IS THE ONE I'M MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT. SO WE TRY TO INFUSE IN OUR STUDENTS, A LOVE OF LEARNING AND A BELIEF THAT EVERY STUDENT HAS THE CAPABILITY TO LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE. AND SO WE WANT THEM TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES AS A LEARNER TO SEE THEMSELVES AS WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BE IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE DO THAT THROUGH TARGETED SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. THEY THINK IT'S GAMES. THEY THINK IT'S FUN.

THEY THINK IT'S ART. BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE WE ARE TRYING TO WRAP AROUND THEM AND SUPPORT THEM SO THAT THEY CAN LIFT THEMSELVES. UM TO HIGHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. THE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE DO AND AFTER SCHOOL. WOULD INCLUDE STEM ART MUSIC DRAMA, ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO ENGAGE OUR LEARNERS IN A FUN WAY IN SUBJECTS THAT THEY MAY FIND INTIMIDATING. OTHERWISE SO PART OF THE FUN OF AFTER SCHOOL IS THAT YOU CAN EXPLORE STUDENTS CAN LEARN. AND BE CHALLENGED TO DO THINGS OUT OF THE CLASSROOM, AND THEN THEY TAKE THAT CONFIDENCE AND THEY TRANSPORTED INTO THE CLASSROOM WITH THEM. AND SO THIS YEAR WE ARE USING A CURRICULUM FROM BELEK CELL, WHICH IS AN EVIDENCE BASED GROUP OUT OF BOSTON. AND THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS THE ENRICHMENT AND ALSO THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. PIECES ARE VERY TARGETED THIS YEAR. WE'RE IN THE PAST. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE. SELF GUIDED BY THE SITE DIRECTO.

NOW WE'RE DOING A MUCH MORE TARGETED, UM, PROGRAM POST COVI. AND SO THE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES ARE KIND OF OUTLINED FOR THEM, AND THE STUDENTS GET TO EXPLORE AND SHARE WITH THEIR PEERS. THEY EARN BADGES FOR COMPLETING DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE AND EXCITEMENT IN AREAS THAT THEY MAY FIND CHALLENGING DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. THE Y IS ALL ABOUT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SO WE LOVE TO GET OUTSIDE. WE LOVE TO PLAY. WE BELIEVE THAT STUDENTS LEARN THROUGH PLAY, AND SO WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY DAY HAS SOME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY COMPONENT AND THEN WE'RE ALSO TEACHING THEM SPECIFIC SKILLS. LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO, THE SKILL WAS PLANKS. UM I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT ACTIVITY, BUT I DID TAKE

[03:25:02]

AND THAT WOULD BE THREE SCHOOLS EACH SCHOOL WITH A 50 STUDENT ENROLLMENT. OKAY AND SO THAT WOULD COVER STAFF PROGRAM SUPPLIES CURRICULUM TEACHERS TO PUSH IN AND DO ACADEMIC SUPPORT AS WELL. AND SO THAT NUMBER CAN GO UP OR DOWN DEPENDENT UPON THE ENROLLMENT. BUT 50 IS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE SITE, UM, TO START WITH. OKAY, SO I'LL PAUSE THERE. FOR QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE FOR ME. OKAY THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. MS SMITH. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. UM THINGS YOU'RE DOING. WITH OUR CHILDREN. THEIR NEXT LET'S START WITH COUNCILMAN CUPPER. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR OF. MR CITY MANAGER AND MR CITY ATTORNEY. WOULD THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM.

BE PAYABLE, UH, WITH THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM BEING ELIGIBLE ARBA. UH, COST. MY OPINION? YES.

AND MR WILLIAMS YOU ON BOARD WITH US. COUNCILMAN I DEFER TO THE MANAGER AS IT AS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PROGRAM. UH WELL, WELL, WELL, BUT WE WANT IT RIGHT IF YOU WANT TO SPECIFIC OPINION OF, UH, RESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND TRANCHE, SO I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASKED TO TAKE ACTION TODAY. IF IT COMES UP, I CAN GIVE YOU SOMETHING IN WRITING THE. ALL RIGHT. WELL I HAVE A MOTION TO MAKE A MOVE THAT THE CITY USE OUR UPPER FUNDS TO PAY HALF OF THE CAUSE. OF THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AS PROPOSED.

PROVIDED THAT THE PETERSBURG CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS PAYS THE OTHER HAND. OKAY. THAT'S THE MOTION FROM COUNCILLOR COVER. COUNCILMAN HERE. I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION TO OKAY, SURE. WE HAVE A SECOND. SO NOW A COUNSELOR. HERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. SO IN THE EVENT. THAT THEY DON'T MATCH. THEN WE WON'T MATCH. I'M ASKING YOU. UM COUNCILOR HERE. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE MONEY FOR PRO PROGRAMMING. AND IF THIS FALLS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THEIR, UM, THEIR. APPLE FINDS THERE'S NOT QUITE OPERA FOR THE SCHOOLS, BUT YES, THEY SHOULD BE RECOVERED. SO. WERE YOU GOING TO PRESENT THIS TO THE SCHOOL? THE SCHOOL HAS RECEIVED OUR PROPOSA, AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOVE LETTER OF SUPPORT INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE PROVIDED, SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN SUPPORT OF THE PROGRAM. I HAVE NOT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED TO PROPOSE TO THEM A MATCHING. SITUATION NO, NO, I KNOW. I KNOW. YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. BUT WHAT? WHAT? WHAT I'M SAYING IS. WHAT I'M SAYING IS THEY HAVE FUNDING. THAT THEY RECEIVED. AND IT'S MORE UP UNDER THEIR PURVIEW. WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, THEN IT IS OURS. SO I WAS I DON'T WANT TO BE. OUR YEAR TO COUNCILMAN GOT SOME MICE? YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS COMING FROM THE SECOND TRAIN? UM YEAH. MR. ROGERS IS LOOKING AT THE SECOND TRANCHE, RIGHT? THEN, IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE CANNOT. DO THAT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THE MONEY IS NOT AVAILABLE TO US, RIGHT? BUT THIS IS MORE FOR CONSIDERATION, RIGHT? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THE Y M SEEING THEM WANTS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMME IN JANUARY, SO THEY NEED, UH ACTUALLY, UM. A VOTE OF ENDORSEMENT OF US SUPPORTING THE PROJECT YESTERDAY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH TRYING TO GET THEIR STAFFING AND EVERYTHING TOGETHER. FATHER. YES. YES, MR MAYOR. AND BECAUSE.

MY ONLY RESERVATION IS, UH, SCHOOL. COURSES. IT'S THE SAME MONEY, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME
