THE ROUTING OF EVENT INSTALLATION OF A NEW OUTLET WITH TO A CLEANING OUT AND WATER TESTING ON PIPING AN INTERCEPTOR AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 207 EAST VIRGINIA STREET, MCKINNEY. GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN PRESIDENT BOARD. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY GRANT. AM I RUNNING THE CLICKER OR WILL YOU HELP ME WITH THE CLICKER? NOT A FRIEND OF TECHNOLOGY, SO. ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S GET STARTED[00:25:07]
I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN MY HISTORY OF THE GREASE TRAP AND THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST OF THE GRANT. HISTORY OF THE GREASE TRAP. IT'S NOT REALLY IMPORTANT PRESENTATION UM BUT YOU DO BUCKLE UP. I'M CLICKING. MHM. OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO WE DO HAVE UH MAINTENANCE HISTORY OF THE GREASE TRAP. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT, BUT WE DID FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS WE HAVE PAID FOR THE GREASE TRAP TO BE PUMPED INSPECTED AND CLEANED TWICE A YEAR. BY LIQUID ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE AND DOW EARTH INDUSTRIES ON MAY OF 2021 THE GREASE TRAP STARTED OVERFLOWING AN EMERGENCY CALL INTO LIQUID ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE REVEALED THE EXISTING IN GROUND GREASE TRAP HAD EXTENSIVE EROSION AND DETERIORATION INTO THE DIRT AND HAD NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I'M REPLACING THE GREASE TRAP SO OUR FIRST ATTEMPT WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE AND MAY 28 2021 I FOUND PRE CON ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS AND TCB CONTRACTORS THEY CAME INTO THE SITE VISIT. THEY PROVIDED ME A PROPOSAL TO REMOVE THE EXISTING GREASE TRAP AND INSTALL THE NEW CONCRETE GREASE TRAP IF ANY OF YOU WERE HERE IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY ON THAT DAY YOU REALIZE THAT THEY FORGOT TO LOWER THEIR BOOM. THEY SNAGGED THE POWER THE POWER LINES RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR DOOR HERE AND SNAPPED THREE POWER POLES ALONG TENNESSEE STREET. ON JULY 8 THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD TAKEN OUT THE OLD GREASE TRAP, AND THAT'S THE DAY THAT THEY CAME AND SNAGGED THE POWER LINES AND THE POWER POLES MY CONTRACTOR ALSO LEFT THE ALLEY WITH A 12 FT BY 10 FT BY SIX FT HOLE EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I COVERED UP AND PROPERLY PROTECTED THE PUBLIC FROM. REPLACING THE GREASE TRAP. SECOND ATTEMPT WAS ANOTHER FAILURE THE SAME CONTRACTOR CAME OUT AND TRIED TO DELIVER THE GREASE TRAP ON A SKID STEER. THEY CRUSHED A WATER MAIN COVER IN THE ALLEY BROKE WATER LINES. THE CONTRACTOR AND PRE COUNT PRE CON ABANDONED THE PROJECT THEY GOT ON THE PHONE WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, WATER DEPARTMENT AND MYSELF AND BASICALLY TOLD THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT OUR ALLEYS SHOULD HAVE STRONGER REINFORCED WATER MAIN COVERS. AND IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THAT MYSELF IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY COULD CALL AN ATTORNEY IF THEY WANTED THEM TO PAY FOR IT. I PICKED UP THE COST TO REPAIR THOSE WATER LINES I FELT LIKE IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT WAS MY CONTRACTOR. WE ALSO THEN FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE PERMITS SUBMITTED BY TCB TO PERFORM THE WORK HAD BEEN REJECTED HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ON SITE. FINALLY, A NEW GREASE TRAP. DID COME IN CONTACT WITH MECHANICAL PARTNERS IN INK. THEY ARE LOCATED IN PLANO, TEXAS THEY PERFORMED A SITE VISIT THEY IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THAT OUR ALI AND THE OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL LINES AND JUST THE ENVIRONMENT THAT OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY IS IN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SCOPE FOR CONCRETE GREASE TRAP. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SCOPED FOR A POLYCOM GREASE TRAP AND SINCE THEN, IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED THREE MEN BASICALLY PICKED IT UP AND DROPPED IT RIGHT IN. IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IT HAS BEEN PERMITTED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AT THE TIME OF THIS POWER POINT PRESENTATION CREATION IT HAD NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED SO I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE FINAL PRODUCT. IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED. ALL THE PERMITS HAVE BEEN. AM CONFIRMED IT IS A FINISHED PROJECT AND THEY WENT AHEAD AND CLEANED UP THE ENTIRE BACK ALLEY BETWEEN. THE BUILDING WE'RE IN AND THE BUILDING THAT I OWN. SO THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THE CDC UNDERSTANDS I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY REIMBURSEMENT FOR ANY OF THE FAILED VENTURES I'M TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT ON MY OWN. UM. RIGHT. THE CONTRACTOR HAS ABANDONED THE GREASE TRAP IN THE ALLEY BACK HERE SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS A RESOURCE TO HELP ME, MAKE HIM COME PICK IT UP AND THE I AM AND I HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR ASSIGNED. THE TEXAS STATE PLUMBING EXAMINERS INVESTIGATION OFFICE SO MY INVESTIGATOR HAS ALREADY REACHED OUT TO ME HE HAS ALREADY REACHED OUT TO THE CONTRACTOR AND IT IS LIKELY HIS MASTER PLUMBING LICENSE WILL BE REVOKED. BUT I AM ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PROPERLY INSTALLED GREASE TRAP THAT HAS BEEN A FINISHED PROJECT UM IT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN REVISED DOWN.MY ORIGINAL GRANT WAS 9000 BUT THE FINAL INVOICE CAME IN LOWER SO I HAVE SINCE REVISED IT DOWN TO 80 TO 92 IS MY REQUESTED M C. D. C. GRANT. ALRIGHT. SOMEONE SUGGESTED MAYBE WE
[00:30:07]
PAINT THE CONCRETE GREASE TRAP AND MAKE IT A MURAL ART PIECE OF ARTWORK ARE I DON'T KNOW.LET'S COLLABORATE AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. YAHOO! I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. PAPER, ALL THE POWER POLES AND THE POWER LINE, SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE CONTRACTOR PRE CON THAT HIS DRIVER PRESENTED AN INSURANCE CARD TOO. I THOUGHT THE MCKINNEY CITY OFFICIALS AND THEY SAID THAT HE DIDN'T. SO THEY SENT ME TO THE MCKINNEY FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY CAME ON SIDE AND THEY DIDN'T COLLECT HIS INSURANCE AND THEN I WENT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY DIDN'T COLLECT HIS INSURANCE SO NOW I'M TRYING TO REACH OUT TO ON CORE. TO SEE IF THEY COLLECTED HIS INSURANCE. BECAUSE IDEALLY, IF THEIR INSURANCE PAID FOR THOSE POWER POLES THEIR INSURANCE SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR ALL THE WATER MAINS THAT HE DROVE OVER AND CRASHED AND ALL FILE A CLAIM IF I CAN FIND HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. MATT HAMILTON HE'S CLAIMING ABOUT $100,000 DAMAGE TO HIS BUILDING BECAUSE THE POWER POLES THAT SNAPPED HIT HIS BUILDING AND HE'S ALSO TRYING TO FIND OUT THIS COMPANY'S INSURANCE COMPANY. YES, SIR. WELL, THIS IS WORTHY OF A BOOK AND I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GET BACK TO JUST YOUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS UM AND YOU PRESENTED A VERY LOOK. VERY COMPELLING SO SO I HAVE CRIED IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING INSPECTOR'S OFFICE I HAVE CRIED IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING PERMIT OFFICE I HAVE CRIED IN FRONT OF IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A BUSINESS OWNER AND. WE'RE SMART PEOPLE BUT FOR THESE TWO COMPANIES TO COME INTO MY CITY AND TWO PER ACT LIKE THIS AND PERFORM LIKE THIS AND THEN JUST ABANDON THE PROJECT MM. ANY ADVICE ANYONE HAS FOR ME TO MAKE SURE THESE TWO CONTRACTORS ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT. UM. I WILL SAY MECHANICAL PARTNERS THAT GENTLEMAN CALLED CRIED TO HIM FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF UM HE CALLED EVERY MORNING AND SAID, JENNIFER, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TOMORROW THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. THE NEXT DAY HE SHUT THAT WE GOT OUR CITY PERMITS SO IT WAS PROPERLY DONE THE SECOND TIME I FOUND THE FIRST TWO CONTRACTORS. NO FAULT OF HUGS. I LOVE RUTH. I LOVE HUGS.
WANTED TO USE SOMEONE THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD USED SO I CALLED HUGS TO SEE WHO CLEANS OUT THEIR GREASE TRAP AND THEY'RE CLEAN OUT. GREASE TRAP COMPANY REFERRED ME TO PRE CON AND TCB. I DIDN'T JUST LIKE, OPEN UP A BOOK AND CLOSE MY EYES AND POINT A FINGER.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WALK AND WHERE YOU GO SO THIS IS REALLY SETTING THAT FOUNDATIONAL UM, THAT FOUNDATIONAL LANDSCAPING SOME OF THE BIGGER ITEMS. HAVE AS PART OF THE WHOLE PROJECT. SO. 50 SECONDS. SO THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THIS, UM WE HAVE CAN YOU GO TO YOUR NEXT SLIDE? WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR TALK ABOUT YOUR BREAKDOWN LUTELY. THANK YOU I WANT TO ADD THAT WE HAVE GONE BEFORE. PAULA I'VE HAD HER COME TO THE HOUSE HAD GONE THROUGH EVERYTHING THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM WITH THE CULT CULTURAL HISTORIC APPROPRIATION FOR THE PROJECT BEING US ON THE OUTSIDE. SHE BROUGHT A FEW THINGS TO MY ATTENTION WE'VE MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS OBVIOUSLY UNTIL I GO FULL THROTTLE INTO THE PROJECT AND START PULLING, UM. PERMITS YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMEWHAT KIND OF SHAKE IT ALL OUT, BUT WE'RE PRETTY MUCH ON PART ON COURSE WITH EXACTLY WHAT MATCH THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THESE ARE MY STAY AT YOUR HOTEL. GO AHEAD. HOW MANY ROOMS WE HAVE FOUR SUITES. MHM. ALL WITH PRIVATE BATHROOMS. WE DO WE DO, UM, PAY LOCAL HOTEL[00:40:01]
OCCUPANCY TAXES TO THE STATE AND TO OBVIOUSLY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. UM YES. THEY'RE TOO WRITES A BETTER PRESSURE YES, BED AND BREAKFAST BY PERMIT. YOU HAVE TO LIVE ON SITE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD A REQUEST LIKE THIS, WHERE IT'S NOT REALLY. NO, IT'S AN ENTERTAINMENT SPACE. ENTERTAINING FOR PEOPLE. FAMILIES. SO MANY ROOM NIGHTS A YEAR. ARE YOU BOOKED? YOU'RE. ROUGHLY ABOUT 5 600. WE'RE VERY, VERY BUSY. WE SUPPORT ALL THE LOCAL WEDDING VENUES ALL THE EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL IN MCKINNEY FOR PER ROOM NIGHTS AND WE'RE ALSO THAT THE TOP TIER SO WE'RE AT THE FOUR AND FIVE STAR LEVEL, SO WE'RE THE ONLY ONE UP THERE. ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS TRY TO DO IS SORT OF HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THINGS. PUBLIC THAT ARE KIND OF RELATED TO SIMILAR MR. CIRCLE AROUND AND I'M JUST TRYING TO DO THAT, RIGHT? YEAH. WE'VE DONE LANDSCAPING BEFORE RECENT. PLACE THAT'S JUST. CALLED SENTENCE ACCEPTING GARDEN.ASHLEY START ACTUALLY STARTS GARDEN. DONE FENCING. WE'VE DONE LANDSCAPING. TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR. SAME KIND OF THINGS. THAT'S GOOD. ALL THE OTHER ONES HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN EITHER PUBLIC. PLACES. RETAIL INFRASTRUCTURE THEY'VE ALL BEEN PRIVATELY OWNED. NO, NO, NO. I KNOW THEY'VE ALL BEEN PRIVATELY OWNED. IT'S NOT YOUR QUESTION. MY QUESTION WAS MORE.
I GUESS I CAN IMPACT ON. OTHER ONES WERE MORE. PEOPLE GOING THROUGH, I GUESS. AND SALVAGE.
SO THAT'S. WAS THAT SOME PRIVATE GO EASTERN SALVAGE. BRESNAHAN. CARAMEL AND THEN THE OFFICE BUILDING ON. INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ALLEY. WE'RE SUPPORTING. OFFICE AND RETAIL. THEY GIVEN ANY INDICATION OF HOW MANY ROOMS THEY WERE LOOKING FOR TO SAY IT WAS RAYTHEON UH HUH. YES SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO ADD ME INTO THEIR SYSTEM SO IT WILL BE I'M.
AND IF THEY ALWAYS SAY IF YOU'RE NOT TERRIFIED, NOT DOING SOMETHING RIGHT IT'S GONNA BE A LOT AND IT'S GOING TO BE DURING THE WEEK. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT 52 WEEKS A YEAR AND PROBABLY THE ENTIRE HEALTH. THAT TYPICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR SLOWER TIMES DURING THE WEEK. MY REST TIME. YES NO REST FOR THE WEARY HERE YES UM YES THAT WOULD BE TECHNICALLY ARE SLOWER TIMES WE WE HAVE TONS OF LADIES AND GROUPS THAT COME IN AND STAY AT THE HOUSE AND GO DOWNTOWN AND COME BACK WITH ALL THE SHOPPING BAGS. WE DO A LOT OF THAT. DURING THE WEEK AS WELL. BUT YEAH, THIS WILL TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL SUBSTANTIAL. PART OF THE WEEK.
SO YOU DO AND ALSO DO A LOT OF WEDDINGS THEN YOU SAID AND THEN SO LIKE TEXAS LIVE, DID YOU HAVE A LOT OF. I DON'T PHYSICALLY DO WEDDINGS WHAT I MEAN THE HOUSE HOUSE. CORRECT PEOPLE COMING TO WEDDINGS. CORRECT YES SO I SUPPORT ALL THE WEDDING VENUES. THEY SEND THEIR BRIDES. WE HOST THEIR FAMILIES. WE HOST THE. WEDDING PARTIES AND THE LITTLE BACHELORETTES THAT THEY DO SO WE'RE VERY JUST TIED INTO EVERYTHING GOING ON AND IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE SERVE SUCH A NICHE BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING TO STAY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THEY'RE LOOKING TO STAY ALL TOGETHER THEY WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE HISTORIC HOME AND IT COSTS MONEY TO MAINTAIN THESE MASSIVE PROPERTIES. AND TO DO THE INFRASTRUCTURE WORK THAT IT TAKES TO DO THAT, AND I KNOW WHEN THE RAYTHEON GLOBAL TEAM COMES, THEY'RE COMING UM THEY'RE PLANNING TO COME IN THE SPRING. UM. COMING UP AND PULLING UP TO ANOTHER ESTATE IT'S GOT TO BE FENCE. IT'S GOT TO HAVE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF MINE. THAT'S A BIG THING FOR THEM FOR THE PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL, SO WE KIND OF DO HAVE TO EVOLVE. SO I WOULD THINK THAT WITH HAVING. THEM STAY DURING THE WEEK. I MEAN, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY EXCITING FOR YOU YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SLEEP BUT YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE THERE BUT THEN WE'RE THINKING IT'S IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. THE IMPACT ON BUSINESSES IN THE EVENING OUR RESTAURANTS IN THE EVENING OR
[00:45:03]
BUSINESSES OR WHATEVER SO IT'S BRINGING SOMETHING ELSE TO DOWNTOWN AT A TIME WHEN WE KNOW IT CAN BE SLOWER BECAUSE THE WEEKEND IS ALWAYS HAPPENING. SO I THINK THAT'S A DEFINITELY POSITIVE. AND I WOULD JUST ECHO THAT HAVING THAT LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT AND KEEPING THE STANDARD JUST HIGH AS WHAT YOU'VE SCOPED OUT REALLY MAKES AN IMPACT ON KEEPING THAT DOWNTOWN AREA. JUST BEAUTIFUL AND INVITING ITSELF. AND JACKET. DID YOU READ OFF WHAT THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT? UP TO 25,000. DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT WAS BECAUSE I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE ESTIMATED. WELL, I THINK YEAH, SHE'S JUST. OKAY I'M SORRY. I WAS LOOKING AT THE ONE ON HERE. THAT IS RAYTHEON'S DESIRE IS TO BRING IN THEIR EXECUTIVES AND JUST SHARE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. THEY THEY WANT THAT FEEL FOR THAT LEVEL OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN, AND THEY'RE COMING IN FROM. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE, SO THEY'RE TRAVELING INTERNATIONAL. COME HERE SO THEY WANT TO HOST THEM IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. THEY WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. WANT TO GIVE HIM THAT. SO. ONE OF USING THE WORD COLLABORATION YOU DO COLLABORATE THEM WITH VISIT MCKINNEY ABSOLUTELY I'M VERY INVOLVED WITH BETH. I'M VERY INVOLVED WITH D D. WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH WORK TOGETHER WE DO A LOT OF FRUIT GIVEAWAYS AND AGAIN, I SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS WE DO COLLECT SALES TAX, SO WE DO RETAIL. AT THE B AND B. WE SELL TONS OF ARTWORK OUT OF THERE. UM SO I JUST TRIED TO REALLY INCORPORATE INCORPORATE MYSELF WHAT IS A BED AND BREAKFAST BUT A COMPLETE REFLECTION OF WHERE IT IS, UM AND THOSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND IT AND SUPPORT IT, SO AND I'VE BEEN. SO ENAMORED BY THE SUPPORT OF MYSELF AS WELL SO IT'S SO TWO FOLD THERE'S SO MUCH SUPPORT FOR ME, AND THERE'S SO MUCH SUPPORT FROM ME TO OTHERS UM, AND IT'S YOU KNOW, I DON'T PLAN ON GOING WHERE. ANOTHER ESTATE BNB WILL BE HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SO. AND HOW ABOUT WITH THE DIVISION. TWO OF ALL. HAVE YOU WORKED WITH ANYONE ON THAT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY INTEREST THERE SO THERE'S TONS OF INTEREST IN THAT AGAIN WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT BIGGER BUSINESS SAFETY AND SECURITY AND HAVING A. HAVING FENCING AND HAVING THAT MORE SOUND PRODUCTS LIKE WE'RE MOVING KIND OF OUT OF THE PHASE OF MOM AND POP AND INTO THE PHASE OF HISTORICAL APPROPRIATION AND PROFESSIONALISM. AND I HAVE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP SOMEHOW UM AND THIS IS A THIS IS A LARGE PROJECT BUT I CAN'T BUILD A FENCE WITHOUT THESE ELEMENTS YOU GOT TO HAVE YOUR CONCRETE AND YOUR BRICK AND YOUR IRON TO HAVE A HISTORICALLY APPROPRIATED FENCE. I WISH IT WAS A LOT EASIER. I WISH I COULD JUST CHAIN LINK IT UP RIGHT, BUT IT'S GOTTA LOOK RIGHT AND IT'S GOT TO FIT THE TIME AND THE PERIOD AND THAT'S WHAT THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON IN THE DESIGN AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO WORK WITH GREAT GARDENS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HISTORIC DISTRICT AND WHO OTHER PEOPLE TRUST TO CREATE THAT HISTORICAL APPROPRIATION. IT JUST HAS THE HAS A COST. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. REASON WE'RE NOT CLOSING THE PUBLIC. WE COME OUT CORRECT AMOUNT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN. THIS STEP. THIS QUALIFIES. THAT WORK AND THAT KIND OF THEY WORK. MHM. BEING ON TWO ADAM 21-748 CONSIDERED TO SET DISCUSSED ACT ON REVISED[BOARD OR COMMISSIONER COMMENTS]
PHYSICAL YEAR 22 MCKINNEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BUDGET. UM MADAM CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, YOU APPROVED THE DRAFT BUDGET IT WAS THEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY MANAGER. AND UH LAST FRIDAY, AUGUST 13TH CITY COUNCIL HELD A BUDGET WORKSHOP AND REVIEW THE BUDGET AND. HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CHANGES THAT WILL GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL ON SEPTEMBER 7TH BUT WITH RESPECT TO CDC THE ONLY CHANGES THAT WERE MADE REALLY CAME FROM FINANCE AND THEY. MADE A COUPLE OF TWEAKS IN THE PERSONNEL CATEGORY THAT HAD TO DO WITH T M. R S TO AND, UM. SLIGHT SALARY ADJUSTMENT THE TOTAL FOR THE ADJUSTMENTS THEY MADE WAS $3085 SO THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT YOU APPROVE BEFORE AND WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET. AND WOULD ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS AS THE FINAL BUDGET PER CDC FOR FY 22. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IMPRESSIONS. MOTION[00:50:13]
TO APPROVE BY DEBORAH TO APPROVE 2ND 2ND BY CATHERINE.OKAY, EMOTION. THERE WE GO. THERE GOES BUDGET HAS BEEN IMPROVED. THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. WORD OR COMMISSIONER. THAT'S ONE THING TO SAY. I APPRECIATE JACKIE YOU BRINGING TO OUR ATTENTION THAT ITS NATIONAL QUALITY DAY. AND THE REASON IS NATIONAL QUALITY DAYS BECAUSE IT'S 101 101ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION GIVING WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE. YES, MY EDUCATION HAD HIS ON RIGHT NOW. AND WHAT'S SO INTERESTING ABOUT THE DAY BEING COLLABORATION? IS NOT THAT MEN AREN'T COLLABORATIVE LET ME BE VERY CAUTIOUS AND WHAT I SAY HERE BUT. WHEN THERE'S MORE WOMEN REPRESENTING IN GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS, WHAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM RESEARCH IS THAT THEY BRING ATTENTION TO THINGS THAT MEN MAY NOT HAVE OTHERWISE, AT THE TIME THOUGHT ABOUT. AND COLLABORATION IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND I DID AN ENTIRE RESEARCH PROJECT ON THIS AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THE MORE WOMEN THAT SERVE THE MORE COLLABORATIVE WE BECOME AND THAT'S A GOOD THING JUST LIKE WE LEARN THINGS FOR MEN. MEN LEARN THINGS FROM US AND SO THOSE TWO KIND OF GO TOGETHER. YEAH. THANK YOU. NATIONAL MEN'S DAY COMING UP SOON. YEAH. ELSE. RIGHT? WE'LL ADJOURN AT 9 36. YEAH. OH REMOVE THE WEIRD GERMAN MOVEMENT BY 12TH BY SECOND. ANGIE JACKIE, RAISE YOUR HAND, RIGHT?
