AND SO THAT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO RIGHT SOME OF THE WRONGS THAT WERE DONE ORIGINALLY. AND IT'S A DAY TO CELEBRATE THAT. SO NOT JUST FOR US THAT MAY HAVE HAD ANCESTORS THAT WENT THROUGH SLAVERY, BUT FOR EVERYBODY TO SAY THAT, HEY, THIS IS THE SIDE OF HISTORY THAT WE STAND ON.

SO THE PEOPLE THEY DON'T USUALLY LEAVE WHEN THEY AT THE END OF THE EVENT, THEY'LL GO INTO THE CITY, INTO THE, INTO BALLARD DOWNTOWN AND SPEND SOME MONEY AND WHATNOT.

ACT UPON APPOINTMENTS TO FILL THE BOARD OF REVIEW VACANCIES FOR A TERM TO BEGIN JULY 1ST, 2024 ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2026. MISS STORM, I BELIEVE THAT A COUPLE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN SERVING, OR HAVE SERVED IN THE PAST. IS THAT CORRECT? OR AM I INCORRECT ON THAT? SO MISTER JACK CRAIG HAS SERVED ON THIS BOARD SINCE 2020, AND I WAS THINKING MAYBE, MISTER, THAT MARTINEZ. THAT IS THE ONLY, ONE. THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT REAPPLIED. OKAY SO I WILL I WILL GIVE MY THOUGHTS SINCE WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE PRESENT, MISTER CRAIG HAS SERVED FOR TWO YEARS, I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE HIM CONTINUE FOR THE CONTINUITY ON THAT BOARD, I ALSO NOTICED THAT MISTER MARTINEZ, HAS NOT ONLY, SERVED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING, INTERNING IN GENERAL COUNSEL POSITIONS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE IRS, DEPARTMENT OF HUD AND NLRB AND ALSO HAVE SERVED THE COUNTRY AS A VETERAN, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A BASELINE IN MOST CASES OF ETHICS THAT WOULD BE EXPOSED TO IN THAT INSTANCE, AND THEN AS FAR AS THE THIRD POSITION, MR. KRISHNA UPADHYAYA, DID STATE ON HERE THAT HE HAS GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE COLLIN COUNTY REALTORS, HAS ALSO SERVED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ON PTA ASSOCIATE, AND GONE THROUGH LEADERSHIP TRAINING IN THE PAST AS PART OF THAT AND HAS BEEN HERE FOR FIVE YEARS AT THIS TIME, THOSE WOULD BE MY THREE OUT OF THE FOUR THAT I WOULD PUT FORWARD. BUT I WOULD BE OPEN TO OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, AGAIN, BASED ON THE FACT THAT NO ONE IS HERE THIS EVENING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, AND I CAN ONLY GO BY WHAT WAS COMPLETED IN THEIR APPLICATION, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS, THEN I WOULD PUT FORTH I THINK I NEED TO READ IT. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE JACK CRAIG, FERNANDO MARTINEZ AND KRISHNA UPADHYAYA FOR THE BOARD OF REVIEW VACANCY FOR A TERM TO BEGIN JULY 1ST, 2024 AND END JUNE 30TH, 2026. THAT IS MY MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND MAYOR PRO TEM? THANK YOU. I'LL SECOND YOUR MOTION. MOTION WITH A SECOND COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. AND WITH THAT, THAT MOVES US TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR THIS[4.

DEVELOPMENT. 2020 DASH 27 PD 2020 DASH 27 TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT PD ON 20.433 ACRES PROPERTY LOCATED FROM 25, 35 TO 2701 SOUTH STATE HIGHWAY 78 ZONING CASE 2023 DASH 20. MR. HASKINS.THANK YOU, MAYOR, SO I GOT, WE'VE BEEN IN STAFF, HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE APPLICANT ON THIS ITEM, AND, WE HAD STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED THAT THEY CONSIDER WITHDRAWAL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WE'RE GOING THEY'RE ASKING FOR A TABLE AGAIN, AND WANT TO JUST HAVE THEM TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS THEY WANTED TO ADDRESS COUNCIL CONCERNS IN ORDER TO GET THE PROJECT WHERE THEY WANTED IT, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE OWNERSHIP GROUP COMPLETELY TOGETHER, IN ORDER TO DECIDE ON WHAT THEY, IF THEY WANTED TO WITHDRAW OR NOT, AND SO THEY ASKED THAT COUNCIL, PLEASE CONSIDER THEM TO BE ABLE TO TABLE, THIS ONE MORE TIME WHILE THEY, FINISH GETTING THEIR PROJECT FINALIZED. MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO, JASON, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROCEDURE GOING FORWARD ON THIS ITEM. YES, SIR. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND FUNDAMENTALLY, THE NUMBER OF CHANGES THAT ARE BEING MADE TO THE ORIGINAL, MULTI-USE DEVELOPMENT ARE TAKING THE PROJECT IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIGHT. AND THE WAY THAT I SEE THIS, YOU WOULD BE SORRY, SIR, YOU WOULD BE CORRECT. IN FACT, WHEN I RECOMMENDED, THAT THEY CONSIDER WITHDRAWAL, BECAUSE MY PERSONAL OPINION ALSO IS THAT ENOUGH OF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO CHANGE WHERE I FEEL THAT COUNCIL WOULD ASK FOR A PNC TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND MAKE ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION. AND SO THAT WAS PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS HAD. SO THE QUESTION THAT I WOULD HAVE FOR YOU IS IF IT'S A MINISTRATIVE QUESTION, IF WE DENY THIS TONIGHT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH PNC ON THAT SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JASON. YOU'RE WELCOME, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU.
MAYOR, JASON, I'M IN LINE WITH, MAYOR PRO TEM ON ON THAT SAME THOUGHT AS FAR AS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG TO COME BACK WITH JUST SOME T'S CROSSED AND I'S DOTTED, UNLESS THEY'RE MAKING SOME LARGE CHANGES. IF WE DO DENY IT, THEY WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE ORIGINAL PD. THAT'S ALREADY APPROVED, THOUGH. STILL. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE. YES, THE ORIGINAL PD WOULD JUST THEY WOULDN'T BE. YEAH. WE WOULDN'T BE AFFECTING THEIR ORIGINAL PD THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED. THEY COULD PRODUCE THAT PROJECT IF THEY WANTED AS IT'S APPROVED. BUT IF THEY WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH PNC. THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG, THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO I DID THERE SOMETHING IN THE SITE DATA THAT STUCK OUT WITH ME, SO IT'S GREAT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND RE SWIZZLE THIS BECAUSE SPEAKING OF DOTTING I'S AND CROSSING T'S, THEY MENTIONED THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A THREE STORY GARDEN APARTMENTS, BUT ONE BEDROOM, TWO BEDROOM APARTMENTS, THREE STORIES. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT'S INTERESTING. OR MAYBE THE DATA ISN'T TOTALLY ACCURATE THERE. SO I JUST YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK INTO THAT.
THE OTHER THING IS THE BI-RITE DRIVE THROUGH. YES, SIR. YEAH, I MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER THAT.
YES, SIR. I BELIEVE THAT WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL ZONING CASE THAT THEY WERE GOING BACK TO, TO LOOK AT. PERFECT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME SIR. OKAY. SO I KNOW WE REMOVED IT FROM TABLE AGAIN. SO WE DO NEED TO HOLD OUR PUBLIC HEARING. SO WITH THAT I WILL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT THIS EVENING AND WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU STEP FORWARD TO DO SO. AT THIS TIME.
MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING. SO WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL. WERE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. IF YOU'RE PREPARED FOR A MOTION, IF I CAN GET EVERYONE TO CLEAR OFF REAL QUICK, I JUST WANTED TO ASK COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT? NO, I WAS READY FOR A SECOND ON THE MOTION. OKAY, SO I WILL ALLOW. I WILL THEN ASK FOR A MOTION. AND MAYOR PRO TEM, YOU HAD MENTIONED YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. SO, MADAM MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE PROJECT. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO DENY COUNSEL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. IT'S

[00:45:05]
DATE, AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE CAPTION HEREOF. CHIEF BLYTH, THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS TO UPDATE OUR COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THERE'S THREE VERY DISTINCT DISTINCT SECTIONS, I THINK I'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE AND THEN AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU ALL WANT TO DO IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETTY DIFFERENT, SO IN APPENDIX A, SECTIONS A THROUGH, I PERTAIN TO OUR PREVENTION DIVISION, WE WENT THROUGH AND UPDATED SEVERAL THINGS THAT WERE THAT WERE ADOPTED WITH OUR PREVIOUS ADOPTION OF THE OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE OR, I'M SORRY, THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE, WE ALSO ADDED A FIRE WATCH, AS WE'VE LEARNED THROUGH THE STORMS, THROUGH THE ICE STORMS, ESPECIALLY. AND AS WE GET MORE COMPLEX SYSTEMS, WE LEAVE A LOT OF BUILDINGS UNPROTECTED, AND SO WE NEEDED A MEASURE TO BE ABLE TO, TO, IF WE HAD TO PROVIDE THE FIRE WATCH THAT WE NEEDED A MECHANISM TO CHARGE FOR THAT, AND OTHER THAN THAT, ON THAT FIRST SECTION, IT'S REALLY JUST SOME, SOME FORMATTING AND SOME LAYOUT, DIFFERENT LAYOUTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR, FOR THAT A THROUGH EYE. SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE PREVENTION PORTION OF THIS? MAYOR PRO TEM.THANK YOU MAYOR. SO CHIEF, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FIRE WATCHES AND BUILDINGS THAT ARE UNPROTECTED, THE FEE STRUCTURE IS JUST IF WE HAVE TO PLACE ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS INSIDE THE FACILITY AND PROVIDE THAT FIRE WATCH. CORRECT? CORRECT. CAN THE FIRE WATCH BE FROM A THIRD PARTY? ABSOLUTELY. AND IF THEY AND ENCOURAGED AND IF THEY PUT A THIRD PARTY IN PLACE, DO THEY HAVE TO LET US KNOW THAT THEY'RE COVERED WITH THE THIRD PARTY? THAT THIRD PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING BACK TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR BACK TO THE PSB. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON SOME SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU AT SOME POINT. THAT WILL MONITOR ALL THAT FOR US, BUT YES, THAT IS THE THAT'S KIND OF THE SYSTEM. IT'S BEEN VERY INFORMAL, OVER THE YEARS. BUT I THINK WE'VE LEARNED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS DUE TO STORMS, THAT WE NEED TO FORMALIZE THAT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT. SO ABSOLUTELY, WE WOULD RATHER A THIRD PARTY DO IT AND REPORT BACK TO US. BUT IF THEY CAN OR IF THEY DON'T, THEN WE STILL HAVE THAT MEANS TO KEEP OUR CITIZENS SAFE. AWESOME. AND THE LAST QUESTION WOULD BE IN THIS SECTION OR THESE FEES, IN LINE WITH THE NEIGHBORING CITIES AND THE NEIGHBORING, I BELIEVE. SO CHIEF CLAIBORNE CHECKED SEVERAL, OH, THERE HE IS. HE CHECKED SEVERAL CITIES, AROUND US TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE THEY WERE IN LINE. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. GO AHEAD. OKAY. THE NEXT SECTION IS J. THROUGH N, AND THAT ESTABLISHES THE NEW, FEE SCHEDULE FOR EMS. AS WE, AS WE WENT THROUGH THAT WITH THE MERGER CON, WE ANSWERED SOME FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL.
I THINK WE'VE GOT ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IN THERE, I KNOW THE PERCENTAGES WERE QUESTIONED LAST TIME OF RUDOLPH FROM FROM MAYOR PRO TEM. WE WENT WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF 25 TO 60 AFTER FOLLOWING UP AND RESEARCHING, OUR CONSUMABLES AND OUR OXYGEN ARE THINGS THAT WE WILL BE THE WRITE OFF FOR QUICK PAY ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSSED, SO NOT MANY CHANGES AND I BELIEVE WE FOLLOWED UP ON EVERYTHING, THE COUNCIL STAY OPEN FOR OR FOR 365 DAYS. AND AT THAT POINT, IF THERE'S NO ACTIVITY, THEN THEY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE WRITE THAT OFF. SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EMS FEES. BUT THAT THAT WAS THE MAIN DRIVING FORCE OF TONIGHT.
AND TO REFRESH THAT WAS J THROUGH J J THROUGH N. YES OKAY. SO MAYOR PRO TEM. YES. SO THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF THAT, IF WE'RE GOING TO CARRY THOSE ACCOUNTS OUT PAST 90 OR 120 DAYS TO 365 DAY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE ACTUAL REVENUE GENERATION AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THAT THAT DOESN'T WIND UP IN PROJECTED REVENUE, RIGHT? SO AT WHAT POINT WILL WE DROP THAT OFF IN FROM PROJECTED REVENUE INTO, POSSIBLE WRITE OFF BUCKET? WELL, THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST YEAR TO DO IT.
AS WE START TO COLLECT THAT REVENUE. BUT I THINK THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THAT IS REVENUES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DUE. RIGHT. WE'VE GOT TO TURN THOSE IN ALREADY, SO I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY USE THEM HOW MUCH WE'VE AVERAGED MONTHLY, HOW MUCH WE'VE COLLECTED BASED ON, BASED ON THAT, WHAT WE HOPE IS 519 CASH FOR TRANSPORT, AND THEN WE WOULD, WE WOULD JUST DO THAT OUT OVER 12 MONTHS AND ADDRESS THOSE AT THE END OF THE BUDGET YEAR. OKAY. THE ONLY THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS IF WE WIND UP WITH A BUNCH OF WRITE OFFS AT THE END OF THE YEAR THAT LOOK LIKE A POSITIVE CASH FLOW, RIGHT ? AND I WANT TO KNOW IF WE CAN SOMEHOW EARMARK THE ONES THAT ARE OUT PAST 120 SO THAT WE DON'T WIND UP UTILIZING THOSE DOLLARS AND FORWARD PROJECTIONS.
SO WE GET A MONTHLY. WELL, THERE'S A THERE'S A DASHBOARD THAT'S LIVE, BUT WE ALSO ALSO GET A MONTHLY REPORT. AND I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO IS, IS SOMEHOW MAYBE EITHER IN THE WEEKLY REPORT, OR, OR IN SOME OTHER REPORT, CITY MANAGEMENT AND COUNCIL IS START TO, TO
[00:50:01]
PROJECT THAT OUT, AS WE START TO GET THAT AND AS WE START TO DEVELOP THOSE PROCESSES.AWESOME. THANK YOU. SAY, TO MAYOR PRO TEM POINT ON THAT. I'M, I'M SURE THAT THEY CAN RUN AN AR AGING REPORT AND, AND SHOW THAT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL CHARGES. AND SO, YEAH, I THINK I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, TO POTENTIALLY SEE OVER THE FIRST YEAR, OR 18 MONTHS, NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED NECESSARILY TO HAVE A LARGE PRESENTATION EVERY MONTH OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IF WE CAN SEE THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOW IT IN 30, 60, 91, 21, 80, AND THEN TYPICALLY THAT'S ABOUT AS FAR AS WE TRACK IT. AND THEN IT JUST GOES INTO INTO A 180 PLUS BUCKET. AND ESSENTIALLY IT'S GONE. YEAH, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE AT 365 BECAUSE THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION, BUT BUT WE'LL YOU KNOW, I THINK THE BIG THING IS AS WE START TO GET THOSE REPORTS AND DEVELOP THOSE PROCESSES, IT MAY BE SOMETHING WE CAN PUT IN THE WEEKLY REPORT, THE SMALL SECTION OF THIS IS HOW MUCH WE'VE COLLECTED. THIS IS HOW MUCH IS PENDING AND HOW FAR THEY'RE AGING OUT. AND I'LL TURN IT TO COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS IN ONE SECOND, ON THAT REPORT, IF YOU WOULD NOTATE, IF YOU WOULD NOTATE AND ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH A PAYER, IF THEY WOULD NOTATE THAT ON THE REPORT, AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OR CHARGE AMOUNT THAT IS. SO I JUST KNOW THAT FROM FROM MY DAY JOB, SOMETIMES CERTAIN PAYERS WILL HAVE A MULTI MONTH PERIOD WHERE THEY DON'T PAY THE CLAIMS AND SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE YOUR ARE IS WORSE THAN IT IS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE LIKE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. YEAH. LIKE WHEN BLUE CROSS DECIDES THAT THEY'RE WELL I WHEN ANY COMPANY THAT'S OUT THERE MAKES YOU KNOW HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR PAYMENT SYSTEM. SURE. OR SOMETHING GETS CROSSED WHEN THEY UPDATE ALL THE IT INFRASTRUCTURE. YOU CAN HAVE TIMES CLAIMS WILL BOUNCE BACK FOR 6090 DAYS. AND BY THE TIME YOU FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY FIX IT, THAT ARE STARTS TO LOOK BAD. BUT IF YOU KNOW IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S BEING FIXED AND PAID, IT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW THAT'S AN OUTLIER AND NOT A DRIVER. OKAY, I GOT THAT, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT. I WOULD LIKE WHEN WE SEE THOSE NUMBERS, JUST TO SEE THEM ON A CASH BASIS, THE ACCRUAL WILL END UP HELPING. BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM ON THE CASH OVER THE PERIOD OF THE YEAR. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND MAYOR PRO TEM I'M SORRY. ONE LAST COMMENT ON THAT IS IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE ACCOUNTS LIVE FOR 365, AT WHAT POINT DO WE STOP SENDING NOTES AND MESSAGES TO THE CITIZEN FOR COLLECTION? IS THAT I THINK THE ONE THING WE DON'T WANT THIS TO BECOME IS A BURDENSOME PROCESS FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE PORTION OF IT, NUMBER ONE. BUT NUMBER TWO, THERE HAS TO BECOME A BREAKING POINT WHERE WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY WHAT THEY CAN BECAUSE WE'VE COME UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL. RIGHT, TO PAY CASH AND NEGOTIATE THAT OUT. BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T BECOME. WE DON'T BECOME A HARD COLLECTION AGENTS ON CITIZENS THAT ARE UNABLE TO PAY.
SO SO AT THIS POINT, WE'VE TOLD THEM WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN COLLECTIONS, IF THAT CHANGES, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN CHANGE THIS, OUR OUR OUR BILLING PORTFOLIO. IF YOU WILL, WITH IMAGICON, IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CALL AND CHANGE ANYTIME THEY'RE IN THE CONTRACT. BUT AS OF NOW, WE'VE SAID, HEY, LET'S LET'S DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY TO STAY AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO THAT 519 PER TRANSPORT, AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WE'LL, WE WILL NOT GO AFTER COLLECTIONS. SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL WISHES TO CHANGE, WE CAN CHANGE IT AT ANY TIME. WE CAN SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT BUT I AGREE, I THINK THERE COMES A POINT WHEN WE REALIZE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PAY AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND IT'S VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND SOME THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T THINK WE SHOULD BILL PEOPLE FOR, DECEASED OR, OR SOME THINGS LIKE THAT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PURSUE THOSE IN SOME CASES. AND SO, WE'VE TRIED TO BE AS COGNIZANT AS WE CAN TO TAKE CARE OF THE COMMUNITY. SO, SO I THINK THAT AT THE SAME TIME THAT I REALIZE THIS IS THE FIRST LAUNCH, BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO REVISIT THAT 365 ACCOUNT OPEN, IF WE'RE IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD OF HARD COLLECTION, THEN LEAVING THOSE DOLLARS OUT ON THE TABLE AND AN ACCRUAL BASIS IS WOULD GIVE US, I DON'T WANT TO SAY A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, BUT WOULD GIVE US A REVENUE GENERATION REPORT, POSSIBLY THAT WOULD BE OFF BASED ON INABILITY TO COLLECT. RIGHT. SO WE'LL, WE MIGHT REVISIT THAT TO YOUR IT'D BE UP TO YOU AS TO WHEN WE REVISIT IT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE NEED SOME RUN TIME TO SEE HOW THE PROCESS IS GOING TO OPERATE AND WHAT OUR ACTUAL THROUGHPUT IS. BUT ONCE THAT IS ESTABLISHED, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT 365 LIVE ONLY BECAUSE IT CLUTTERS UP THE ADMINISTRATIVE PORTION OF IT. YEP. OKAY. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME RAMP UP TIME THIS FIRST YEAR. THAT MIGHT BE WHY THEY THEY RECOMMENDED WE SET IT SO HIGH YEAR ONE. AS WE AS WE BECOME A NEW BILLING, AGENCY. SURE. IT'S GOING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME, SOME RAMP UP TIME FOR THAT AS WELL.
UNDERSTOOD. GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EMS. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE LAST
[00:55:05]
SECTION, JUST ADMINISTRATIVE CLEANING UP, OH. THROUGH S, IS FOR FIRST RESPONDER BILLING FEE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE, WE'VE DONE SINCE 2000. AND ALTHOUGH, WE HAVEN'T HAD THESE IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE, WE HAVE HAD THEM IN THE INDIVIDUAL ORDINANCE, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO LAND EVERYTHING IN THIS, IN THIS ONE LOCATION, SO ANY TIME WE RUN CERTAIN TYPES OF CALLS THAT REQUIRE CONSUMABLES, WE BILL, INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR THAT. AND SO THE MOST COMMON IS, IS CAR ACCIDENTS WHERE WE'RE USING ABSORBENT AND CLEANING UP THE STREET AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT BILLING, THAT BILLING PROCESS, THAT WHERE WE DON'T BILL THE CITIZENS BY THE ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN. WE CAN BILL THE CITIZENS, WE ONLY LEFT THAT IN THERE BECAUSE IF YOU REMEMBER BACK A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD KIND OF A RASH OF, GAS OR OIL THAT WAS BEING DUMPED INTO THE STORM SEWERS, AND SO WE DID LEAVE THAT IN THERE TO BE ABLE TO PURSUE THAT IN THE ORDINANCE. BUT DAY IN AND DAY OUT, OUR BILLING SCHEDULE IS SET UP WHERE WE DO NOT BILL OUR CITIZENS, WE BILL THE INSURANCE COMPANY, WE, WE REC AS FAR AS GENERATE GENERATING REVENUE, IT LASTS WE USUALLY COLLECT ABOUT 50% OF THOSE AND 50% DENY THE PAYMENT, BUT IT'S A RIDER ON MOST INSURANCES. AND SO WE WILL WE WILL TRY THAT. OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGER THE HAZMAT OR THE BIGGER THE CLEANUP, THAT WE'RE TIED UP FOR AND OUR UNITS ARE TIED UP FOR, THAT IS THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BILL FOR AS WELL. SO NOTHING NEW, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM ALL IN ONE PLACE, IN THIS, IN THIS ORDINANCE INSTEAD OF IN THIS FEE SCHEDULE INSTEAD OF THE INDIVIDUAL ORDINANCE. SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE, OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL COUNCILMAN MALIKSI, I GUESS JUST OVERALL IN THE FEE STRUCTURE, IS THIS THE SAME FEE STRUCTURE FOR ALL CITIZENS AND NON-CITIZENS, MEANING IF IT'S A NON-CITIZEN PASSING THROUGH WIDELY AND THIS HAPPENS THROUGH OR EVEN WITH THE EMS SERVICES, WE'RE PROVIDING SERVICE TO A NON CITIZEN THAT IT'S OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS OR OUTSIDE OF CITY OF WILEY. ARE THESE FEE STRUCTURES ALL THE SAME FOR ALL OF THEM OR IT'S THE SAME. YES SIR. WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION SOME WITH THE MERGER CON WHENEVER WE WERE HERE. THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND, SETTING A DIFFERENT FEE, FOR CITIZENS VERSUS NON CITIZENS, THEY RECOMMENDED TO SET THE SET THE AMOUNT AT THE HIGHEST ALLOWABLE BY INSURANCE SO WE CAN SO WE CAN MAXIMIZE THAT REVENUE, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY, THAT'S WHAT THEY SET THE FEES AT. WELL, I AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT BECAUSE I KNOW WE MOVED FORWARD. WHILE I AGREE WITH MAYOR, MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING AFTER SOME OF THE CITIZENS, I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE DON'T WANT THIS TO BE FREE FOR ALL AS WELL. THEM KNOWING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THE BURDEN ON OTHER CITIZENS WITHIN THE WILEY THAT ARE NOT USING THE SERVICES. SURE SO, THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF A HAPPY MEDIUM THAT ONCE THE COUNCIL LOOKS AT THIS DOWN THE LINE, THAT MIGHT BE THAT IT'S COSTING ALL OUR CITIZENS A LOT MORE THAN THAN WHAT IT'S NEEDED TO BE, THEN I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY ALL TOGETHER AND VERSUS SOME OF, OH, ABSOLUTELY. SOME TAKING IT ALL ON THEMSELVES. SO I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL. YEAH. AND NOT ONLY OUR CITIZENS, WE, WE DID ESTABLISH WHEN WE, WHEN WE SET UP OUR BILLING ZONES, THE PEOPLE THAT WE PROVIDE SERVICE FOR OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. SO WE, WE WILL BE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COLLIN COUNTY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HOW MUCH WE'RE COLLECTING FROM LAVON PARKER, INSPIRATION. WE DID SET THOSE UP AS BILLING ZONES. SO I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A LOT OF INFORMATION. MAYBE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR OR JUST BEFORE THE BUDGET NEXT YEAR, MAYBE WE MAYBE WE REVISIT THIS, HAVE A WORK SESSION, SEE WHERE WE'RE AT, ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT AGING THE AGING REPORT. SEE HOW MUCH WE'VE RAMPED UP, MONTH OVER MONTH AND MAYBE MAKE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS IF WE IF WE WANT TO BECAUSE WE CAN DO IT AT ANY TIME WITH A PHONE CALL. OKAY AND WITH THAT, THAT'S IT, JUST THOSE THREE SECTIONS ARE THE SECTIONS WE UPDATED. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHIEF, FOR COMING, MAYOR PRO TEM, I'M ASSUMING YOU MAY HAVE A MOTION IF IT'S A COMMENT, GO AHEAD. IF IT'S A MOTION, I'M OPEN TO A MOTION AS WELL. THANK YOU. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN? STRANGE. I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY WITH THAT? COUNSEL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
