00:00:00,49 --> 00:00:05,67
It's green bag city council member for
District 2 reporting on the most recent

2
00:00:05,68 --> 00:00:11,10
council meeting we had 3 really interesting
discussions one of them was about who

3
00:00:11,11 --> 00:00:15,11
fest and special events how much should
they pay for the police when they bring in

4
00:00:15,12 --> 00:00:19,64
so much money into the community and
eventually council decided that we needed

5
00:00:19,65 --> 00:00:24,56
actual policy on when we are going to have
someone pay less than 100 percent and so

6
00:00:25,05 --> 00:00:28,25
we deferred this year's agreement which
goes back to the last year's agreement and

7
00:00:28,26 --> 00:00:32,10
actually who best will pay less for
this year's event and we'll get

8
00:00:32,11 --> 00:00:35,20
a policy figured out over
the next year a 2nd we have

9
00:00:35,21 --> 00:00:40,65
a long debate on how to spend money
from tax development districts there's

10
00:00:40,66 --> 00:00:45,32
a district that covers kind of part of
rural from park in Monroe and the West

11
00:00:45,33 --> 00:00:48,39
Central and how does
that figure out we have

12
00:00:48,40 --> 00:00:52,72
a citizen committee that works on it but
we feel like they didn't really meet that

13
00:00:52,73 --> 00:00:55,76
much with the neighborhoods in the
trying to decide should we fund

14
00:00:56,36 --> 00:01:01,04
a bridge repair in the park or should be
fun more street trees and we're decided to

15
00:01:01,05 --> 00:01:05,47
fund that bridge because it will generate
more money for the fund for other things

16
00:01:05,90 --> 00:01:09,48
and we directed staff to work with the
neighborhood council so that we can come up

17
00:01:09,49 --> 00:01:14,42
with other shovel ready projects for that
area to beautify their neighborhood and

18
00:01:14,43 --> 00:01:19,57
finally we talked about the problem of
opioid addiction and what it costs our city

19
00:01:19,89 --> 00:01:23,12
and whether or not we should explore
joining one of the class actions to hold

20
00:01:23,65 --> 00:01:28,98
pharmaceutical companies responsible for
their illegal acts some of them and I hate

21
00:01:28,99 --> 00:01:35,27
being opioid sales when there were some
dangers and we decided to ask our city

22
00:01:35,28 --> 00:01:36,68
legal department to put together

23
00:01:36,69 --> 00:01:41,06
a study for us to decide should we move
ahead to hold them accountable and we pay

24
00:01:41,07 --> 00:01:46,72
some of the taxpayer losses and. Thanks
for tuning in and join us at our next

25
00:01:46,73 --> 00:01:46,93
meeting.
