Speaker 0: Council Member Torres, will you please put council resolution 669 on the floor for final passage?
Speaker 4: One moment, please. I move that council bill 669.
Speaker 0: Resolution adopted.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 0: Resolution six nine be adopted after it has been moved and seconded. Thank you. Questions or comments by members of Council? Council Member CdeBaca.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Madam President. Called this one out for a vote. This is a company that coincidentally I had asked about. I think it was last week or the week before when we were talking about the eminent domain authorization over down on Sand Creek. This is a company that did the acquisitions for National Western Properties, and I was fortunate and unfortunate enough to work with several community members through that process and was really able to see how this company is not necessarily a company we should be contracting with. There were multiple instances where they were shortchanging the homeowner on the value of their homes or what they would be offered for a relocation and big enough discrepancies that would have amounted to tens of thousands of dollars that community members would not have gotten for their properties. And so I will be a no on this tonight because I have firsthand experience with this company. I also did not appreciate the way that they engaged with community members, and I hope my colleagues will take it from someone who's worked directly with this company that they are that we should be looking for somebody else. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilwoman. Councilwoman Torres.
Speaker 4: I just a question.
Speaker 2: I see Alyssa Lumley is in the conversation. Are there homes that are under consideration for property acquisition?
Speaker 4: Did you make the council? Councilwoman Torres? No. These are businesses. This is part of the Broadway corridor improvements. This agreement with the park to be very clear, park right now is a sub from the engineering firm. We are using them in this contract for relocation only. This is not an acquisitions and this is to ensure, again, that we are following our Uniform Relocation Act and providing all of the documentation I know that we had provided to think of before a presentation with Rene Goebel, our litigator, and I am happy to send back materials for counsel. If there's any interest on this right of way acquisition process. But there are no residences as it relates to this.
Speaker 2: And then if it's relocation, only who then owns the property? If we're not acquiring.
Speaker 4: The property, we are acquiring it. The dollars being funneled through this particular agreement are for relocation only. Oh, got it. Thank you, Hope.
Speaker 0: All right. Thank you, counsel. Or Madam Secretary, roll call, please.
Speaker 3: Peter Barca?
Speaker 2: No. Clark.
Speaker 1: Hi. When I.
Speaker 3: Herndon, I. Cashman. I can h i. Ortega. Right. Sandoval, I. Sawyer. I was I. Black eye. Madam President.
Speaker 0: I. Madam Secretary, closed the voting and announced the results.
Speaker 2: When a Lebanese.
Speaker 0: Lebanese Council Resolution 66 nine has passed. Up next, we have council resolution 746. Council members say to back up. Please go ahead with your questions on resolution 746.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Madam President. No questions, just comments. Just wanted to hopefully welcome Dr. April Alexander to the Citizen Oversight Board. She is our city council appointment and wanted to stress the importance of making sure that City Council has a role in appointments. This is an appointment who was beyond qualified? Who is a member and a representative of Black Lives Matter and in the context of global uprisings? For the Black Lives Matter or Black Liberation Movement. She was passed up by our mayor for his set of appointments, and I think that this is an example of why Council's voice and insight mattered to these processes and mattered to appointments. So just very thankful that we had a second shot with her and very hopeful that my colleagues will approve her tonight. There's no voice more valuable right now than someone from the movement that is characterizing our experience. So thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilwoman. Councilwoman Torres.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 4: Just want to voice my support as well for this candidate.
Speaker 2: And also want to mention that District three additionally put forward a name hopefully under consideration for a future vacancy. That was also Banuelos, who runs Patricio Business Unidos, who has been.
Speaker 4: Instrumental in making.
Speaker 2: Sure that youth justice, including replacing school resource officers with appropriate personnel in schools for youth.
Speaker 4: Development.
Speaker 2: Was one thing that could take place. So just want to make sure that our districts are putting forward names in to really key boards and commission spaces.
Speaker 4: We've got the talent. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilman. That concludes the items to be called out. Any bills for introduction or ordered published? Council members remember this is a consent or a block vote and you will need to vote I. Otherwise, this is your last chance to call out an item for a separate vote.
