SECOND SECONDED BY MS. LEWIS, ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE NEED TO ITEM NUMBER THREE, SEE REVIEW AND AMEND BOARD MINUTES FROM AUGUST 23RD, MR. KEARNEY, SHAW SPEAK OUT HERE.
HE BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION THAT IN THE ORIGINAL MINUTES I HAD LISTED IN A FILE, BUT IN ACTUALITY THERE WERE THREE FILES REFERENCED, NOT INDEPENDENTLY IN THE VERBIAGE, BUT THEY WERE REFERENCED, RIGHT.
AND THAT WAS THE MISTAKE OR OVERSIGHT.
WE JUST NEED TO AMEND THE MINUTES TO REFLECT.
I INCLUDED AN AMENDMENT LOOK AND SEE IF THAT MEANS.
I CAN SAY AFTER LISTENING TO THE AUDIO AGAIN, THE IAA FILES WERE NOT LISTED OR SPOKEN INDIVIDUALLY, BUT THEY MADE REFERENCE TO ALL THREE OR THE VERBIAGE WAS INCLUSIVE OF ALL THREE.
CAN YOU KNOW WHERE IN THIS AUGUST? OH, I THINK I FOUND THEM RIGHT HERE.
YOU REMEMBER WAS THE ORIGINAL EXCEPT MINUTES.
LIKE I SAY, THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY KYLE SHOW.
THE ORIGINAL MINUTES, I'M GOING TO READ THE ORIGINAL AS REFLECTED AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THE PROPOSED AMENDED VERSION.
NUMBER THREE OF YOUR AGENDA ON THE FRONT IS THE AMENDED.
IF YOU FLIP IT, THE ORIGINALS ON THE BACK ITEM, NUMBER SEVEN, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN STATES APPEAL HEARING IT WAS MOVED AND SECONDED TO SEND THE ISSUE BACK TO THE CHIEF FOR RECONSIDERATION AND REFERENCED TO KENNETH CAMELO 60 DAYS SUSPENSION AND DEMOTION.
I FILE NUMBER 0 0 1 DASH TWO ONE.
WE HAD A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THAT.
THE NEW VERSION IS LIKE WE'RE STRIKING EVERYTHING AFTER MR. AMARILLO'S NAME.
WELL, NO, THE WHOLE THING WAS CHANGED.
THE NEW AMENDED VERSION STATES.
IT WAS MOVED IN SECOND IN TO SEND THE ISSUE BACK TO THE CHIEF FOR RECONSIDERATION.
SO HE CAN REEVALUATE THE PREVIOUS RULING AND AMEND HIS RULING IN REFERENCE TO KENNETH.
BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WAS A 75 DAY BEDROOM.
RIGHT? SO 60, THEY WOULD'VE BEEN ANDROID ANYWAY.
WE AMEND IT AS STATED A SECOND SECONDED BY MR. WILLIAMS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? AND THAT IS NOW AMENDED.
MA'AM WE HAVE POOR PETITIONS OF A P I'M SORRY.
WE HAVE THREE PETITIONS OF APPEAL.
[4. PETITION OF APPEAL]
MR. DEWEY IS HERE TO REPRESENT ALL THREE.AND THIS IS JUST FOR SCHEDULING TODAY.
THIS IS JUST FOR SCHEDULING FOR THAT.
WE HAVE A REP FROM THE CHIEF'S OFFICE.
AND YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR ATTORNEY SITUATION, CORRECT? OKAY.
WHATEVER THE CASE ATTORNEYS ARE HOURS.
I'M GOING TO UPDATE EVERYBODY'S IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE NO TERMINATIONS ON HERE.
[00:15:01]
I THINK WE COULD TAKE IS ON MARCH 28TH.THEN MY NEXT ONE FOR YOU WOULD BE JUNE 27.
DURING 27TH WORKS OF WHICH ONE YOU WENT ALVAREZ.
AND AS A 20 DAY SUSPENSION, CORRECT.
AND IT'S YOUR CHOICE, WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO DO FIRST? JULY 25TH.
UM, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? BRIAN WATSON OR JEFFREY PITT? UM, MR. PITTMAN ADMIN IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED FOR JULY 25TH.
AND AUGUST 22ND, AUGUST 22ND IS GOOD FOR YOU.
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY CONFLICT WITH THE CHIEF SIDE.
AND UH, OBVIOUSLY IF THERE'S ANY RESOLUTIONS PRIOR TO THAT DAY, I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW SO WE CAN TAKE IT OFF THE DOCK.
SO WE'VE SCHEDULED ALL THROUGH ITEM NUMBER FOUR, THREE PETITIONS OF APPEAL.
WE HAD SCHEDULED TODAY FOR TWO APPEAL HEARINGS.
MR. HOLT HOLMES WAS THE TERMINATION
[5. APPEAL HEARING(s):]
AND ITEM FIVE.B IS JASON OGLE, WHICH IS A 15 DAY SUSPENSION.
I'VE REACHED OUT TO COUNSEL OR BOTH OF THEM AND EXPLAINED OUR SITUATION WITH NOT HAVING AN ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD.
AND ABE AGREED TO POSTPONE IT INDEFINITELY UNTIL WE CAN SEEK YOUR COUNSEL.
SO I GUESS IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR US TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S NOBODY HERE TO RESCHEDULE THAT, RESCHEDULE THOSE TWO HEARINGS.
UM, WHERE DO I START, MR. FLOYD, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, RENDERED HIS RESIGNATION, AUGUST 31ST, LIKE, I GUESS I'VE ALREADY CAUGHT YOU UP WITH ALL THAT LAST PLACE THAT WE LEFT OFF WERE TWO OPTIONS.
YOU HAD SUGGESTED PARIS ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO HAVE A, UH, TEMPORARY ATTORNEY SIGN TO US.
I SPOKE WITH THEM AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BEING THAT THEY REPRESENT BOTH THE POLICE AND THE FIRE.
SO WE DON'T HAVE AN OPTION WITH THAT ROUTE, BUT, UH, THEY DID MAKE MENTION THAT MS. DAWN GILLIAM, UM, SAID SHE ALREADY HAD SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE, I GUESS WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS GOING TO REQUEST THE RESUMES AND SEND THEM TO US.
I'M TRYING TO NEGOTIATE THIS CONTRACT THROUGH THE PARISH ATTORNEY.
I JUST GOT MY FINAL WORD ON THAT, ON HIS DECISION ON THURSDAY.
AND THE LAST STEP THAT I HAVE TO DO IS GO BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL AND REQUEST THEM TO THAT IS THIS CONTRACT WITH THESE FIRMS BASICALLY CAUGHT YOU GUYS UP WITH THE, UH, THE ISSUE.
AND THEN WE GO OVER MONEY AND EVERYTHING, BEFORE WE DID THE STIPEND, THE STIPEND WAS, IT WAS $1,200 A MONTH.
ANYTHING OVER THAT WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED AT A RATE OF $200 PER HOUR, UH, THAT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE TO MR. FLOYD BECAUSE IT, THEY HAD BASICALLY ALLOTTED AT 10 HOURS WITHIN THAT 12 HOURS, WHICH EQUALS $120 PER HOUR.
UM, THE PARISH ATTORNEY'S ARGUMENT IN THAT, WHICH I THINK IS A VALID ARGUMENT IS SOME MONTHS HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VERY LIGHT MOM.
SO YOU KNOW, THAT $1,200, YES, IT MIGHT BE A BURDEN AT FIRST WHEN WE HAVE THESE MARATHON HEARINGS, BUT EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'LL MAKE UP FOR IT THOUGH.
SO MY IDEA, WHAT MY COMPROMISE TO THAT SIMPLY IS LET'S JUST TAKE THEM IF THAT'S WHAT WE CAN AGREE ON THE STIPEND, LET'S TAKE THE STIPEND AWAY, TAKE THE STIPEND AWAY AND LET MR. FLOYD OR ANY ATTORNEY THAT COMES UP HERE,
[00:20:01]
BILL US PER HOUR, THAT THEY ACTUALLY WORK.IF THEY ONLY WORK THREE HOURS IN THAT MONTH, THE CITY ONLY PAYS FOR THREE HOURS WORTH OF DUTIES.
AND SO IT'S A COST SAVING FOR THE CITY IN THOSE REGARDS.
AND I THINK IT'S FAIR ON BOTH SIDES PERSONALLY.
UM, THE PARISH OF GREEN DIDN'T AGREE.
HE THOUGHT THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS FAIR.
AND I, AGAIN, I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO REQUEST THAT WE TAKE THIS TO, I'M GOING TO REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL LOOK AT IT AND KIND OF MAKE THEIR DECISION AND FINDINGS, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT, RIGHT? BUT THE ASK IS THAT WE AMEND THE OFFER A HOURLY RATE, AS OPPOSED TO LIKE, AND HANG A STIPEND AND AN HOURLY RATE, RIGHT.
A STIPEND AND AN HOUR THAT WE'RE TAKING THAT AWAY AND JUST DOING THE HOURLY RATE.
LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE MY REQUEST TO THE COUNCIL.
WHEN I COME HOME, I HAVE TO NOTIFY THEM TODAY.
THEY GET THE REQUEST TO SPEAK ABOUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
AND I DON'T STAY UP UNTIL MAYBE THE FIRST MEETING OF NOVEMBER OR THE COUNCIL.
AND ONCE I GET THE, I SHOULD KNOW THAT DAY, ONCE I GET THE ANSWER THAT DAY, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH, WE HAVE TO PATIENTS AND DO ALL THAT I MISS JADA HAD TOLD ME THERE WAS, THERE WAS ONLY ONE THAT SHE COULD THINK OF THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED AS WELL.
THAT ALONG WITH THE ONE THAT I KNOW OF, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LOOK AT, OKAY, I DON'T WANT TO CROSS THAT BRIDGE.
I GUESS WE NEED TO SET SOME MANDATES FOR US BASED UPON WHEN THE COUNCIL MEETING IS AND WHEN OUR NEXT MEETING IS, WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS AGAIN, ANOTHER BACKLOG OF WHAT WAS, SO I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A FALLBACK POSITION IN THE EVENT.
THEY DO COME TO AGREEMENT FINE IN THE EVENT THAT WE DON'T, WE NEED TO, UM, AT LEAST IF THEY ARE, I MEAN, HOW WILL WE HANDLE THIS? ARE WE GOING TO INTERVIEW OR ARE WE JUST GOING TO RECEIVE RESUMES? OR, I MEAN, JUST IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DO, WE'LL LEARN WHEN WE COME TO THAT, I HAVEN'T EVEN WRAPPED MY HEAD AROUND IT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT DONE OR HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED INTO, BUT I THINK WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A CONTINGENCY BECAUSE IF NOT, WE GONNA, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO COME TO A HOUSE AND THAT, I MEAN, ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THAT? I MEAN, IN MY MIND, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE HEARINGS THIS YEAR FOR NOVEMBER.
I'M JUST ONLY TWO MONTHS, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, DECEMBER.
WE PROBABLY WEREN'T GOING TO BE MEETING ANYWAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE HERE IN NOVEMBER.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A CORN.
YOU KNOW, BUT IN MY MIND, I'M NOT SAYING WE HAVE TIME.
I'M JUST SAYING, I'M TRYING TO GET THIS KNOCKED OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IT'S JUST, I, UH, I'M NOT SO WORRIED BACK OFF.
I MEAN, THEY WERE GOING TO BE BACKLOG REGARDLESS.
AND ALL WHERE WE'VE DONE IS THE ONLY TWO THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHED AS THE WHOLE HOMES AND JASON OVAL SO FAR.
AND THEN NOVEMBER, ALL WE HAVE IS SOME MOTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HEARD.
AND IF I'M REMEMBERING THAT CORRECTLY, OKAY.
YEAH, WE HAVE SOME DECEMBER, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING SCHEDULED.
DECEMBER IS THE, IT'S THE WEEK IN BETWEEN CHRISTMAS I'M CALL FOR WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE.
SO IF WE HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING TO HEAR MOTIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN DECEMBER, I'M FINE WITH CALLING A SPECIAL MEETING BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY BE MEETING OR HAVE A QUORUM.
I'M ANTICIPATING NOT HAVING A FORMAL NUMBER, BUT DIDN'T SCHEDULE ANYTHING FOR THERE.
IF WE NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING, ALL THAT CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN STILL DO IT VIA ZOOM.
IF WE CAN'T, WE MAY HAVE IT OVER A QUICK MEETING.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING PRESSING AS FAR AS EMOTION HERE, I MEAN PORES AND STUFF, BECAUSE WE CAN DEAL WITH ALL THOSE JANUARY MEETING ANYTHING PRESSING, I'M FINE WITH GETTING A SPECIAL MEETING.
ALL THESE GUYS, ALL SHADOWS GOING TO BE WRITING THAT.
I MEAN, OH FUCK NEW CLASS NOW.
ANY QUESTIONS AS FAR AS, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONTINGENCY PLAN, BUT AGAIN, BRENDA, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING WE WERE GOING TO KNOW NEXT MONTH.
I'LL KNOW BEFORE OUR MEETING NEXT MONTH, WHETHER OR NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE'RE EITHER GOING TO BE WRITING A CONTRACT FOR MR. FALCON OR WE'RE GOING TO BE INTERVIEWING YOU AND I'LL BE VERSED AND BE ABLE TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW SAYS IN THE PROCESS IS IN OUR NOVEMBER EITHER WAY.
AND PLEASE REACH OUT, GIVE ME A CALL.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET FURTHER BACK.
I KNOW WE HAD ISSUES WITH PEOPLE GETTING THEIR HEARINGS, RIGHT.
I DON'T WANT ALL THE BUSINESS.
WELL, LET ME, UH, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC TO HEAR THEIR COMMENT.
[00:25:01]
WANT TO TALK ABOUT, UH, THURSDAY.SO WE'RE TRYING, OR CHAD IS TRYING FIRE CHIEF IS TRYING TO CHANGE A JOB TITLE AND THE JOB DESCRIPTION FROM ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT TO THE FIRE CHIEF, TO CHIEF OF ADMINISTRATION.
AND I THINK SOME OF IT GOES BACK TO WHAT THE PREVIOUS FIRE CHIEF DID WITH HIM BY BLOCKING HIM OUT OF DECISIONS AND KIND OF MADE HIM IRRELEVANT.
SO CHAZ WANTED TO RE CLASSIFY ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT TO THE FIRE CHIEF, TO CHIEF OF ADMINISTRATION.
SO WE GOT WITH OSC, THEY WROTE THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BE DONE.
WE WERE GOING TO POST IT FOR 30 DAYS, STARTING FRIDAY, WE WERE GOING TO DO IT.
WELL, WE GOT A CALL MONDAY FROM OSC AND IT HAS TO BE APPROVED FROM THE CITY COUNCIL BEFORE WE CAN POST IT FOR 30 DAYS BEFORE WE HEAR IT.
SO WE TOOK THE POSTING DOWN AND CHAD EXPECTS IT TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TOMORROW, TOMORROW NIGHT, WE HAVE NIGHT.
SO I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE A, A SPECIAL MEETING SO THAT WE CAN APPROVE THE NEW JOB DESCRIPTION AND IT'D BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS.
AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS WE THINK THAT THE MAYOR WILL APPOINT A NEW FIRE CHIEF BY THE 1ST OF DECEMBER.
AND WE WERE TRYING TO GET IT SPED UP TO WHERE HE CAN APPOINT.
NOW THAT THAT JOB TITLE, WOULD IT BE IN CHANGED? THE NEW CHIEF CAN APPOINT SOMEBODY TO IT WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE A TEST AFTER THAT A TEST WOULD BE CREATED.
AND THEN IT WOULD BE A COMPETITIVE LIST.
WE'LL JUST DO THE FIRST ROUND FIRST.
AND THE FIRST TIME WAS APPOINTED POSITION ON THE SYSTEM TO TEST FOR THE POSITION.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS DAWN.
SO THE NEW CHIEF CAN NAME ADMINISTRATIVE ASSIST, NOT I'M SORRY, CHIEF OF ADMINISTRATION.
HE CAN'T APPROVE THAT TODAY BECAUSE IT HADN'T BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO PENDING THAT DECISION, WHICH TASK PRETTY CONFIDENT WE WERE GOING TO GET IT PUSHED THROUGH OR PAST CRISPR.
OH, I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING VIA ZOOM OR BY PHONE CALL OR WHATEVER.
HOWEVER, WE NEED TO DO IT, UH, PENDING THAT DECISION TO APPROVE US POSTING IT 30 DAYS SO WE CAN GET IT POSTED.
IT WON'T BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS.
BY THE TIME WE, WE HAVE THE NEXT MEETING, BUT I'LL HAVE TO ASK THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER SPECIAL MEETING AT THE END OF THE 30 DAYS POST SO THAT WE CAN APPROVE THE POSITION FOR THE FIRST WEEKEND.
CAUSE I'M NOT DOING IT ON THE WEEK.
SO IF WE GET IT DONE BY THIS FRIDAY, THE 30 DAYS SHOULD BE UP AROUND THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING ON A SATURDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.
WELL, A WEEK AFTER THANKSGIVING, WE'LL SEE, I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS, BUT OKAY.
I WILL JUST KIND OF, I GAVE YOU ALL, SOME HEADS UP ON WHILE WE NEED A SPECIAL MEETING.
ARE WE GOING TO NEED TO, OR CAN WE ONLY JUST HAVE THE ONE WHEN WE GO TO, WELL, IT WON'T BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS BEFORE WE HAVE THE NEXT MEETING AND THERE'LL BE, WE KNOW WE CAN HAVE MEETINGS.
WELL, WE HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING FRIDAY OR THURSDAY MORNING, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING POST PUBLIC POST PUBLIC HEARING WHILE WE HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT? WHY CAN'T WE JUST POST IT FOR 30 DAYS AND THEN HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE END OF IT.
ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO I'LL COME IN AND SIGN.
[00:30:01]
ONCE THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES IT.AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE SPECIAL OR SPECIAL MEETING IN DECEMBER.
ALLEVIATE THE 30 DAY POST SOUND.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? IS IT WON'T BE APPROVED AFTER IT'S APPROVED.
WE HAVE TO VISUALLY MAKE A MOTION UNTIL THE AFTER IT'S A, WELL, WE CAN'T APPROVE IT UNTIL IT'S BEEN POSTED FOR GUARDED.
ALL I'M GOING TO DO IS GET IT POSTED FOR 30 DAY.
I WAS AT A CITY COUNCIL PUT ON THE AGENDA AND THEN ONCE THEY APPROVE THE COUNCIL APPROVES, IT WE'LL ALL SIGN A POSTING TO HAVE IT POSTED PUBLICLY FOR 30 DAYS.
LETTING THEM KNOW THE DATE AND TIME TO COME IN AND WE'LL HAVE PHYSICIAN GROUP, THE PHYSICIAN AFTER 30 DAYS IN DECEMBER, IS THAT HAVE THEM ON THIS? LET ME KNOW GUYS, IF THERE'S A BETTER WEEK OR BETTER TIME DURING DECEMBER WHEN, CAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MEET IN DECEMBER, HE WANTS TO GET THIS KNOCKED OUT BEFORE THE FIRST OF ALL THAT THE NEW ADMINISTRATION, UH, CHECK ON.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN STILL DO ZOOM OR NOT IN MY HEAD.
YOU MAY, IF THERE'S A BETTER PLACE TO MEET, IF IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A QUICK LITTLE DEAL, THEN, WELL WE NEED TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT THAT IN THE POST.
I THOUGHT CHAD WAS GOING TO BE HERE TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT HE WAS A NO SHOW THAT DAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO BRING UP BEFORE I BRING IT? OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC.
ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK? I DON'T SEE ANYBODY RAISING THEIR HANDS.
MOTION TO ADJOURN, SECONDED BY MR. WILLIAMS BY SAYING AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? I WILL SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH.
