that one so it's you will keep that moving though and look forward to bring that back we had targeted bring something back in early september we are not making that deadline but remaining contact with german regards to  carry on duties so look for that coming soon we did hold the first housing commission meeting which i think we have really well and again you guys have seen of the tremendous people who are participating but i held in that group continues to push for a number i don't and one thing i think they will see publicized in the next few weeks is a climate summit champlain college and i think his target right now for its november accidental is built from the historical foundation of the community this welcome several generations of new community members from all across the world in the most recent decade the new skiers welcomed new americans from release from the nearly sixty million people worldwide they were displaced by violence political strife or natural disaster and forced to become refugees the residents of our community have consistently and by the character of a welcome community in this city's government have followed their lead in formalizing that steps directions and american anti democratic actions of such rigs basic groups as like the officials we do everything in our heritage to new promoting an environment where the spirit of being a welcoming city is fostered in sapporo leaving no room for the roots of division ok so this is kind of a back by popular demand as you know we've been having when you ski when say throughout the summer that was done by an administrative permit because we expected it would be under two hundred people we have been exceeding two hundred people so this comes before you for your approval aleesha family has requested the parks and recreation department has requested that we do one more when you ski wednesday in october and that would be  questions to keep you really is the brains of our early childhood operation but again as folks know here through the promise communities grant we were able to partially fund cures his position two thirds of the sense the beginning of that grant cycle so about six beauregard who unfortunately is leaving the area he's moving down to maryland so we're sad to see him depart did a tremendous job running that program and building connections in short order with families and really did really fantastic work with kids and families  so we were at the point where we had to make a decision do we fill that temporary role for a while and a sense was going to be three months of programming or do we sort of preemptively move back to the situation where christie's position sort of shares duties between managing thrive or service program and doing the sort of community level systems of work that she's been able to really exclusively focus on with her position funded through the grant so after a lot of communication back and forth c programs that i can now are going to be sure yeah i guess yeah could you provide us with a little bit more information around what's with that said that's not what we are that something is there and so i think we're we're just accordingly but you know i think we will continue to keep an ear to the street and look at ways to you know shift her back into that space if you can and certainly work in terms of are there other staff folks that are prepared to step in and perform that function that you're playing every day yet and so for the next few weeks at least i am going to be there every day and there's going to be a lot of the times that was dropped to work out exactly what our structure has been b this year we've done a lot of that work already and so a lot of that is going to be laid out and measured throughout the two with the school right now looking at some potential partnership opportunities moving forward in the after school area particular so i think that's those conversations are pretty early in the process but i'd say stay tuned there are two where we're doing some work  equivalent of the two thirds of curiosities time so we're we're really in the green money goes away and everything's sort of but central so it's really pretty budget neutral look at this point so you could have a twenty percent in there in terms of the fifty percent stars i mean just to compare against ours is ten percent right three stars is twenty percent so the bonus that we're seeing that again sounds like a crude term but the bonuses that we're seeing for subsidy eligible program brought in that will continue so so i'd say there are further from when he doesn't really change the financial landscape for us we haven't done a lot of great seeking around thrive because it is a program that's driven by registration funding so you know families pay to have their children there or receive support from the state so we haven't been in a position to need to pull in supplemental grant support there and we've kept our rates extremely low and still be able to operate so our our rates are set at the i think the other as we look at early childhood work as you heard earlier or maybe even after the subject but there is a part history today the childcare center at the o'brien center that's going to be for preschool age students and not certainly a place where we would hope for an operator to start to build those relationships with local businesses and have parents who work in town be able to bring their kids to childcare i have two little ones at home and believe me i know that it's is there's a huge idiot out there  know part of what we've done is bringing the promise means korea which is two hundred thousand dollars in assistance to help us started to help support the establishment of a child care facility in addition to really fostering a broader community conversation about what that looks like from an overall strategic early child care looks like from the overall community strategic level good keeping so this one is in it during every seventeen you allocated part of the f y sixteen surplus to operating expenses her our charter were those laps at the end of the at the end of the fiscal year so to continue that allocation we need to you need to approve that vote so with this item we are asking you to approve eighty nine thousand six hundred fifty dollars they can file in december january and february city council minutes in recordings you can find a very robust conversation discussion regards to a list that was addressed with fun about last year where the funds were financial hasse's to keep us in compliance and actually this is an added control that will protect our fiscal health so transactions as you likely know our way and keys are allowed to go into your checking o savings account and withdraw money currently that is enabled through our system to be very tight in our procedures what we are recommending is that you actually improve t d bank has a free program that allows that if you approve a specific list vendors to have access to that type of transfer they will only allow those vendors to do that transfer so any other friend or that tries to come in and do an ac transaction we will be notified of that currently that's not in  day so as you know we're meeting in a joint session with this week next week to hopefully improve this memorandum of understanding and so because we will be asking to take a vote next week i want to put before you for discussion in case hong consultation with the superintendent these and it's were all made with his approval we've added a statement around our cooperative efforts around master plan our master planning process the economic development strategic planning process and branding and marketing one of the things we're hearing through those ask you would anticipate being part of master playing process is the importance of our school district in recruiting new businesses and our identity as a very  we think that's a really strong partnership really strong voice so we want to recognise that in this stuff as well and then the third is the last the other third page which talks about our shared interest in maintaining the communities affordability and our in our administrative interest continually cooperate around long term capital planning and to that end we've had some conversations around professional case when you think you that there was a real spirit of cooperation but we're now getting to where it's been about a decade of really good cooperation and really good teamwork a recognition that we're sure in the same community  championing the same cause and also show a real spirit of willingness to work together to make sure the community's getting everything they need and i mean that again the thrive program that was up there there's just there's no better example i the education doesn't stop there the city is part of the solution and then similarly to have sean show up at our housing commission and show that you know what's a kid leaves the school building the school the school still cares and still cares about the environment  continually meeting in cooperation is a good as long as everybody that meeting understands that there's not intended to suggest that you know the school district and the city would be working on the if there is an understanding that there's party taking place that your have to the reality says we have to keep in mind what everybody's asking the same taxpayer or right around those projects understand that there's some communication around what types of asks are going to go in the community well and then you very clearly in the past there were actually a proposal to do a joint budget meeting which was very quickly next and for a wise reasons because it's not appropriate for the decisions to be directly impacting each other but from a horribly of scale and from a war for the scale the communication keeping tabs i think is the spirit but that's a really good clarification american so what our goal is tonight is to outline for you and conceptually two proposals and get your feedback on the community values the priorities of the community for the use of that space  d potentially consider a vote to authorize myself or raid to enter into negotiations on a final document that would be brought for approval in the interest of making sure you understand what's before you and the discussion with members who are here tonight i would recommend that you go into a brief executive session so we can talk through the two letters  concerns about the potential motion from council any questions or concerns of the public so what council would do in this case is take river parties were biased session is just that discussion any formal action from council comes back out on any votes are held in public in this custom public too so this will not be your last opportunity to comment on this conversation but it looks like we are heading towards noted parties when they put in the letters of an intent like this it's really a key into contract negotiations frankly so it's not advantageous for the party for the city to conduct those in public and that's where those residents to create a public space that offer an opportunity for community interactions to take place to ensure that we had a building there in the absence of private investment and potentially in  frankly were more fair to people and maybe no always a market in some cases which is something that we've certainly struggled with from financial perspective from year to year but has been a bit official to the community and one big concern as we've gone forward with considerations of what's going to happen next for that space is trying to continue to up hold that spirit and trying very hard to ensure that we're still living up to that promise that the  tax payers and the people who live here describe to you so long ago so we've each turn tried to ensure that it's a space that is open interactive for the community and the  and one that i know we see that be important going forward in the future you know around housing around the we are going to graphics are shifting but also around service provision and then we also have an opportunity frankly true replace something for the public that has been of keen interest from our population something that we've received feedback on surveys is really missing from this community which is an opportunity for a gym facility to  not siding with with one proposal or the other because you've really got the benefit of a medical opportunity for the community in a service that we understand is deeply beneficial the partner that we recognize we've had a longstanding relationship with at the same time we have a very very important public space that has done that for a long time has a history of servicing the public and really anybody walking in the door granted there can be in the reship fees just the same as the end of the council will live in that building so far has been to really try to balance that and i think it would be a shame to have to have either a lot has been working on the city's behalf as a broker but i think it's fair to say this is not been your standard ritual real estate arrangement and so her patience with me and process and you know as i joke with her the touchy feely stuff has been play appreciated and primary things you're voting on is the d l c the mind of cities and towns policy positions which one could argue are better set by the policy makers of the state than the managers although i'm familiar with what your policy  value we had just recently set policy priorities and strategies for the year which will be which my hope is will become any nation but given that this is a new relationship and my new relationship with all of you and with staff our leadership team i'm interested in their learning hundred station continuous quality improvement an opportunity to hear immediate feedback about my management style how things are going on a day to day basis that's outside of the overall delivery the overall delivery of the priorities we've set so what you have before you is a memo that outlines my recommendation for what this kind of quick down during the initial review would look like  my employment situation with the council is slightly different my fear is that we get to the end there something somebody has been holding that i could have easily addressed right and let's let's course correct that now so we all can be as
