and a fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty Hio Silver, the low ranger. For this faithful Indian companion total, the daring and resourceful mask rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Come out of the past from the thundering hootbeats of the Great War Silver. The Low Ranger rides again. The Low Ranger had saved the life and property of Mexican born rancher Juan Mendoza. Despite the masked man's protest, the Grateful Mendoza presented a token of gratitude. It is not gold because I know you would not accept it. It is this, amigo, a jug of the most wonderful sauce in all the world. It is called Deserty Devil, a rare sauce for only a brave and strong man like yourself, señor. Thank you, please. Gracias, amigo. Away from the ranch house, the Low Ranger and Toto stopped. Toto, curious, tasted a drop of the red sauce called Desert of the Devil and replaced the container in the Low Ranger's saddlebag. Suddenly, the liquid took effect. There you are, Toto. Drink this water quickly. Toto placed the canteen of water to his mouth and drank deep of the contents. But when he stopped, his expressions of pain were even greater. Toto, if that devil's dessert can make you act like that, it's surely the hottest in the world. Hotter! Hotter than volcano! The water hasn't relieved the burning inside. No, water makes fire worse. I think it burned Rupert Mouth, burned inside the way, too. Hours passed before the effects of the Mexican sauce wore off. The searing quality of the ingredients impressed Toto as few things ever had. As he and the Low Ranger rode northward, the Indian confessed, Kimosabi, sauce worse than bullets and arrows. For a while, me think maybe me die. Well, you survived it all, right? Good thing you didn't take a spoonful. You're all right now. Kimosabi, the mouth only caught a sound now. Good. Then let's move a little faster. For the devil's dessert in his saddlebag, the masked man sent his horse into a gallop. Come on, Zilly!  At that moment, some miles to the north, a great gathering of Indians had assembled in the lush valley surrounded by the great rock mountains. Chiefs and braves for many tribes were present and they sat solemnly before the great teepee which enclosed the greatest chief of them all, Blue Beaver. Near the top of one hill overlooking the encampment in the valley, two men looked down on the scene. One of them was an Indian, Joe Tintik. Joe had been educated in a white man's school and spoke the language well. But his later education had been the wrong kind. And now the cunning red man talked with his quick-of-white friend, Roy Lyman. Lyman was angry. Hey, look at them. Not one of them moving around. Not even a sound. How long is this going to go on? It will go on until the great chief Blue Beaver dies or is cured. The medicine man is working over him now. It is what your white doctors would call a crisis. This is a fine idea, Joe. Joe, I've been depending on you to make these tribesmen yours rise up and attack that settlement of Morganville. You're not telling me news, Lyman. I want them to do it too. After all, I'd become your partner when you get rid of them and take over the settlement. Don't I? Sure you do. I want to see Captain Morgan and those settlers he brought there run out of his territory. Hey, look. Suppose Chief Blue Beaver dies. Is that bad for us? No. No, Lyman. That's the best thing that could happen. My tribe believes that when a chief dies, his enemies should go with him to the happy hunting ground. To be at his mercy.  What if Blue Beaver lives? It's still good for us, Lyman. Why? Because then there will be great feasting and games. Then they will seek to capture their enemies and humiliate them before all the chiefs.  Yes, for days. Speed and skill. They wrestle. And they make their enemies prisoners. That's the big thing. They'll capture the Morganville bunch, huh? Capture them. Keep them alive for a few days. And then there's a climax killer. You see why it's good for you? No matter what happens to Blue Beaver? Yeah. Yeah, I do. I wish it had happened soon one way or another.  Late that day, the medicine man emerged from the teepee where he had been treating Blue Beaver. He made the announcement the chiefs had waited to hear. Oh, for many. Only two. Attacker. I come up. When he had finished a single yell, split the air. Fire! Then throughout the camp, the others joined in a blood-curdling cry of thanksgiving. In the underbrush where they had come now, Joe Tintake turned to Roy Lyman. You hear that, Lyman? You know what that means, don't you? Well, I didn't savvy what that medicine albray said, but it seems to me like the old chief's going to get better. Is that right? Yes. He's well once more. And so to celebrate to the gods, the festival starts tonight. So soon, eh? Yes. Flaws and children are starting to get the food together for the first night's feeding. Look, you see, the braves are hurrying to where they have their horses. Does that mean? Yes, Lyman. That means they're going to take enemy captives. Fire! A short time later, in war, paint and feathers, a great band of Indians rode out of the valley and headed for the settlement of Morganville. Cap Morgan, elderly scouting guide who had led the small band of settlers into the town that now bore his name, was the first one to see the Indians riding down from the hills that evening. Man, get your guns! It's Indians! They're coming! The Redskins are coming! Fire! The settlers put up a gallant but useless fight. The Indians, outnumbering them ten to one, used guns and arrows with devastating effect and forced the survivors to surrender. Within an hour, the settlers, leaving their dead behind them, were marched back toward the hills prisoners of the Indians. Cap Morgan, a captive like the rest, pudged along at the end of a column, muttering about the arrogant savages who hurt at the men, women and children along the path, now enveloped by the gray of evening. I know what they're up to. If they get away with this, it'll mean death to everyone here. I've got to find some way to make a break for it and get to Fort Skylar. I've got to pull out of Watson. The captives and captors were moving along a high embankment above a deep stream when old Cap Morgan made his break for freedom. Here I go. Wish me luck. Hey! Cap Morgan's aging legs found youth again. He reached the edge of the cliff as the first shots were fired. One of them caught him in the shoulder as he dived downward into the darkness below. Joe Tintik led the Indians to the edge of the cliff, and once more he spoke in English before addressing his tribesmen in native tongue. It was Morgan. I saw him. And I know my shot got him. He's dead after all these years. It was Joe Tintik who killed him. The founder of Morgan'sville. And let me get... About an hour later, the lone ranger and tato riding along the banks of a valley stream prepared to water their horses before seeking camp for the night. It was then that they heard a moan and saw the man crawling along the ground near the water. Hello. The man over there and he's hurt. Come along, we're going to help him. The lone ranger and tato found the wounded cap Morgan on the bank of the stream where he had plunged after his escape from the Indians. Under the light of the candle which tato held, the lone ranger treated Morgan's shoulder wound, which was not a serious one. Meanwhile, the elderly scouts told of the raid and reached a conclusion. And I know where the Redskins are taking them. I heard them talking and I could understand them. Oh, where are they heading? To the valley north of here in the Great Rock Mountains. I know who you are. And I know you've got an idea where the place is. Yes, I have. You heard them say they took their people's prisoners to take part in a celebration for Blue Beaver's recovery. That's right. That means they'll humiliate the settlers in every way possible. And then by killing some or all of them. Yeah, those Redskins don't move a finger or lift their grunting forces for days while the old chief's sick. But once he gets better, they make up for it by doing everything. Including murder. I know Blue Beaver. I believe he has faith in me. I'll try to get to him and see if it's possible to say the lies of your friends. Well, that's something I couldn't do. Those Redskins don't like me, especially Joe Tintit. He's dangerous. That kind of man always is. Still, I'll try to break through the Indians and attempt to speak to the chief. Oh, Cap. Yes? There's an army out close to the west of here. Only a few miles to the west. But all they have there are a couple of lookouts. They also have a telegraph instrument that connects with Port Styler. Uh, that shoulder of yours isn't too painful, is it? No, no. Thanks for the way you fixed it. Look here. You want me to go to that outpost and tell them to send for troops from the fort? If you will. Please have them tell Captain Pannon that I'll try to prevent any further bloodshed. Sure. Well, the Indians sure need shooting up, but it's better to handle things a peaceful way. Better for everyone in the west. Now, ask Pannon not to sweep down on the camp shooting until he's sure of the situation. Meanwhile, Toddler and I are going to try to enter the camp from the east slope. The low ranger and Toddler let their horses down the east slope above the Indian encampment until they were in a spot not too far removed from the scene of the great celebration. The masked man stared down on the scene, made vivid by the great bonfire in the center of a great ring of men and women. Toddler, there's Chief Bluebeaver sitting on the other side of the fire. Ah, you see. The Indians who sit with them, all chiefs of crime. Yes, I recognize them. The leaders of the Indian nation are all present. I'm not starting to hurt white men yet. No, they're getting ready to feast now. The mediation of the criminals will follow. Please, meet Brown Camp. Go to Chief, please. That's my aim. We leave our horses tied here, then we're down to that brook of trees behind the trees. Ah, you guys, Toddler. Please stop. The curtain falls on the first act of our lone ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Here I'm taught to a very short distance behind the camp, tie their horses to trees, then they circle the fringe of the camp until they reached an advantageous spot above it. I know. We've got to get down there and talk to the chiefs. Suddenly, the brush before the move and the man stepped out, brandishing a gun. Streaks of light from the bonfire lift the evil face of Roy Lyman as he spoke. Oh, say you good. Go to the chiefs. Go, Tindick! Go, Tindick! Joe Tindick and a host of Indians had come running to the spot where Roy Lyman covered the lone ranger and Toddler with his gun. The masked man, seeing a chance to be brought immediately before Chief Bluebeaver, made no attempt to escape. The celebration seemed to stop as the Indians and their captives saw the lone ranger and Toddler brought before the roll of chiefs, seated at the fire. The greatest of the chiefs, whose recovery was the cause for the feast, pushed the great bowl of food away from him and rose to his feet. He looked with flashing eyes at the men brought before him. Oh! Oh, Bluebeaver! It's good to see you. I came here for that purpose. Great chief Bluebeaver, do not give your ears to the lies this masked man may tell. Only white man with good friend of Indian is a man with me. Roy Lyman is his name. Joe Tindick, why you say man with you is friend? For many reasons. The greatest reason is that he saved your life tonight. Huh? How him do that? Roy, tell the great chief what you did. Yeah, sure. Chief Bluebeaver and all the rest of you. I've been on a trail of this masked killing as Indian pal. I heard them say they were going to kill someone. Being a man who doesn't like killing, I decided to do something about it. The Lyman you lying snake! Damn him! Keep him away from my friend! I'm... I'm sorry, Bluebeaver. This man is lying. Me decide that. Go on. Well, it seems they were heading here. And I heard what their plans are.  Aided and more often led by Joe Tindick, Roy Lyman's story made an impression on the chiefs who were with Bluebeaver. Bluebeaver, who had been helped by the Lone Ranger in the past. And ever to be fair, he listened to the Lone Ranger's reasons for coming to the camp. When the masked man concluded, Bluebeaver and the lesser chiefs huddled in the long talk. Finally, Joe Tindick was called to join them. He too had much to say. When he finished amidst the babble of voices, Chief Bluebeaver summoned the Lone Ranger. We tell chiefs, you friend of engine, some believe, some do not. They say they hear you great man, do many things good. Before they believe, first they must see. See what, Bluebeaver? I don't understand. Some chiefs say you white god. But I... Some say you just man. Joe Tindick says you're not good like engine braves. So we have contest. And Tondo, listen, we tell what contest like. Speaking in the Indian tongue, Bluebeaver outlined the plan proposed by Joe Tindick. Present among the chiefs were two braves considered by the red men to be the greatest marksmen with bow and arrow and revolver. If the Lone Ranger were to beat either of the Indians, his prowess might be acknowledged and his life spared. But if his marksmanship was not as great, he would go to death with the other white prisoners at the end of the celebration. Chiefs decide this. We go by what chiefs say. Now what you say. I have no choice, Bluebeaver. I'll meet your men in contest, but you must be fair. You must permit me to use a bow that I've used before. You got bow? It's Tondo's. He's left it with his horse and the trees above the camp. May he get his formal? Let him get. Come back quick. Tell him go now. He left from the group and told Tondo to get his bow and arrows for the archery contest. Then as he saw Bluebeaver explaining his action to the chiefs, the masked man whispered, Bluebeaver says some chiefs think I'm a white gone. Are you sure Joe Kindleford's had a clue about what else? They give you an idea. Can you bring back the bow, also bring your horse one men go to give you? Puzzled, but without question, Tondo did as he was told. When he returned, the first of the contest began. The Lone Ranger was pitted against the greatest Indian archer in the west. Two white prisoners stood near the target and watched the red man shoot. Look at that. Four shots all right around the center of the target. Yeah. The masked man will never be able to do as good as that. But the Lone Ranger drew back his bow four times, and four times the arrows sped straight and through into the target, landing dead center on the bullseye. Oh, deep and car fish. Look at that, will you? They landed inside the spots where the Indians are as landed. The shooting contest with revolvers followed. When this competition ended, the first white prisoner chuckled. Yes, Chuck, that was no contest. The masked fellow shot six times almost while the Indian was shooting once. And each shot was dead centered like it was one shot. Look at them Indians sitting there, dumbfounded. They don't believe what they saw. And I can't blame them. The Lone Rangers astounding performances had a startling effect on the chiefs. They admired the unbelievable skill of the masked man, but now they feared him more. Spurred on by a desperate Joe Kenting, they talked again and reached the decision which Blue Beaver would be forced to accept because of their unanimous agreement. The Lone Ranger, familiar with Indian language and dialects, had heard the faith they were planning for him as the chiefs entered the teepee.  The Lone Ranger recalled that some of them had fought him a god at first and he made a quick decision, speaking low so that the braves on guard could not hear him. He told Tonto of the idea that had come to his mind earlier. That bottle of devil dessert, do you have it? Uh-huh. In pocket of pants. Good.  They're going to be seated next to Blue Beaver. That's perfect for my slime. Here's what we'll do. I'll talk to the chiefs and keep his attention from you. The Indian chiefs emerged from the teepee and formed a semi-circle around the fire. The Lone Ranger and Tonto were placed at either side of Blue Beaver and bowls of food were placed before them. The Lone Ranger could see Tonto's hand come slowly from his pocket and move imperceptibly towards the great chief bull. The masked man raised his arms melodramatically, causing everyone to look up at them, paying no attention to Tonto. Blue Beaver, look at me. Do you remember what some of your chiefs said about me before? Uh-huh. What'd they say? They said I might be a god. But Joe Titic said no. Do you believe Joe Titic? Uh-huh. You mean you god? I mean Blue Beaver.  Unless you release me and all my white friends whom you hold as prisoners. The Lone Ranger saw Tonto's hand draw back. The Indians' eyelid lowered in the signal that all was prepared. You and your tribes will be punished for what you have done. Engines, not afraid of soldiers. We fight them as they come. Blue Beaver, not sick. Must make celebration because gods make Blue Beaver get well. Must do what gods think good. That's the way you feel, is it? Do you feel white people who show gratitude to your god? All right, go ahead and feast. Eat your food, Blue Beaver. You will soon learn there is something more powerful than your god. Not hear more talk. We eat all chiefs eat. Mono Kizahobi! Blue Beaver turned, reached for his bull and placed it before him, commanding his grave to eat. They waited respectfully for the old man to take the first mouthful. Kizahobi turned as he waved his hands with melodramatic exaggeration. Eat, Blue Beaver, and see what happens. Me! The mask man's voice rose so all could hear. Fire! Great fire! Burn the chief in punishment! You say? See, all of you! I warned him.  What happens? Give him water. Here I have some. I'll give it to him. The chief, viewing the scene, became quiet as they realized the mask man might be a god of retribution. As Joe Tintig knelt to pour water into the mouth of the suffering Blue Beaver, the Lone Ranger made his last romantic gesture. Water's not going to cure the fire inside him. Water will make the fire greater. See? As he raised his hands once more in the gesture of magic, the water reached the burning mouth and stomach of Blue Beaver. As the Lone Ranger had expected, the burning sensation became even greater You see what I have done? Now I'll tell you how to save your chief. He'll die? You'll save him? He'll not die. You do as I say. Take him to his TP and sit in silence as you did when he was ill before. Construct the brave to return all the white prisoners. I'll lead them away from here. Also return my guns and all arms to the captives. We do! We tell brave men not one Blue Beaver dies. You did this. You did this. Yes, Joe Tintig. And from what Roy Lyman told me, you and he did this. Made persons of the people who lived in Morganville. Made persons of those you didn't kill. Dear gun, great one. Thanks. All right, Tintig, let your hands up. You too, Lyman. No. Joe is holding a gun on us. He can't do this. Make your Indians take it. I can't look at them. They think he's a god, most of them. Those that don't are afraid of him anyway. I better do as he says, Lyman. My people aren't going to help me. You see, they're leaving. Where are they going? Sit and silence until Blue Beaver gets better. Just as they did before. What about us? You're going to be turned over to Captain Fannin and his men. Captain Morgan leads them here. I should be tuned. Joe, I thought you killed him. Joe, what Joe who shot him? You people from Morganville remember that. We will. We'll be witnesses against Tintig and Lyman. We learned why Lyman wants to take over Morganville, too. We learned why Lyman wants to take over Morganville, too. Well, that's it, Captain Fannin. When you turn these men over to him, use Lyman's gun to hold both of them. Sure, we'll tear them up. All right, Lyman. Help me with these matters, Joe. You too, Ed. You see? Captain Fannin, leading his cavalry troop, looked in surprise as they came upon the people marching in the direction of Morganville. Oh! Oh! How did this happen? He's had you people captured. They did, Captain, but they said it's free. And what a story that is. We'll tell it to you when you take these two armed priests, Tintig and Lyman, off our hands. And you'll want them for murder. Not in the restaurant. Why? On account of a mask man who did all kinds of things. Would you know anything about a mask man in these parts? I do. He's the man you're talking about, too. He sent Captain Morgan after me and my troops. But we were needed, it seems. He did the job himself. Yep, he's the one who could. You see, he's the Lone Ranger.

It's a brand new game released recently for Nintendo Switch and it's a self-proclaimed colorful 3D puzzle platformer. In fact when taking on this sponsorship they had some fun times trying to explain how the game takes inspiration from Super Mario Galaxy, Pikmin, and Katamari Damacy. Honestly, when I first heard that I thought they were just being cute, but as it turns out that description might not be far off. You play the game as a Roomba, sorry you're actually named Tomba, and long story short you're basically trying to save the universe from destruction due to an unknown entity. There is a king who is entirely self-proclaimed that you quote unquote work for. You use Togies to build your way to success, solving puzzles and dealing with gravity-defined circumstances as you attempt to consume all the fruit in each world. It sounds simple, but in practice it's quite clever.  You see, you can place the blocks anywhere you want so long as they are adjacent or were at one point adjacent to another block and you use these blocks to help solve the puzzles. There are different color blocks that do different things. Red blocks are the standard, but other blocks such as yellow that you unlock along the adventure contain properties such as electricity and can be stacked even higher than the red blocks allowing for more complex puzzle solving. The game doesn't take itself too serious with the story, mostly telling jokes that admittedly got me to chuckle a few times, but surprisingly the self-description of the game came across fairly accurate in gameplay. There is so much to do in a world with adorable, blubbering cubes, it's a mix of something new and totally familiar with many tricky challenges in this adventure around the cosmos. From a futuristic city in the savannah to a realm made of carrot cake. You get to immerse yourself in incredible settings with some pretty nice looking vistas. This is a 3D platformer with a classic collectathon style that many of us will remember from the golden Nintendo 64 days. There are 7 main levels with 27 plus bonus levels and enough content to keep you going for dozens of hours. It's also cool because the game is available on literally everything for just $20 and I can safely say that price might even be a bit low for the quality of the experience at hand. All of this from a little known studio called Regular Studios out of Brazil.  So there's red, yellow, blue, green, white and black, you'll unlock these throughout your adventure. You get the red and yellow ones very early on in the tutorial. The red togis stack up to 5 so you can go 5 high with them. So this gives you that limit that really encourages you to sometimes use other togis, however it only costs 1 togis. So what does that mean? There's this counter on your screen that tells you the total amount of togis you can put down but different colors might need more or higher numbers. As an example, yellow takes up 2 togis instead of 1 so the count goes up even higher and you can increase your number of togis by collecting certain items throughout your adventure. Now the red ones also happen to be immune to fire so yeah these are just sort of your basic ones obviously red immune to fire makes a lot of sense. The yellow ones which I guess are actually orange supposedly I was corrected by this when going through and trying to get this video approved that apparently they're orange. They look yellow to me but you know what? Color differences I guess. The yellow togi which are actually orange can pile up to 7 high but they use more of the togi limit. They can also be used to conduct electricity and activate objects used to get to those hard to reach places among other things so yeah I mean I mentioned the electricity stuff with them but it's good to note that they stack 7 high. The blue ones are the only ones that can spread underwater and put out fire. In addition you get 500 extra togis to spread while underwater you can spread while floating even if there's no ground right contrast you cannot stack these more than 3 high so while these are really really nice they also have an extreme limit and now high they can stack. The green togi are giants perfect for spreading chaos and being used as a platform by other colors. They are the size of 9 togis put together and consume the same amount of limit so when you drop one it takes them 9 so that's oh those are massive. I personally have not used the green ones yet but man I can't wait. Next up we have white. You can spread all other colors from white so what's important to note here is while you're unlocking these spawn points to keep bringing your togis whatever color you unlock that spawn point with is what color it remains so if you unlocked it with a red you can only spread to red togis off of that you apparently unlock it with a white though you can spread any color off of that so that's important to note again I didn't experience this one yet myself but man I can't wait it'll certainly make things a bit easier. White togis can spread any other color but not the other way around so they can act as a powerful problem solver. White togis also stick to the wall making it possible to climb any obstacle but be quick because they will auto return after a short period of time so yeah those white togis seem awesome I can't wait to try those out. The black togis are the heavy togis and they're indestructible but they cannot be erased only on fruits of the same color so for those who don't know there's this eraser ability in there where you hit the erase and it brings like all of the togis back to you when the black ones are put down they're just there for good unless it happens to be related to consuming a fruit so. Dude this game guys I can't speak its praises enough I am still playing it look this video was recorded done days ago and I am still playing this to this day I can't help it the game is just fun I can't I can't say enough good things about it I know you know that it would seem like I would run up but I honestly truly believe the gameplay speaks for itself guys I actually don't get super excited about a lot of sponsorship content we have on this channel after all we're just paying the bills but this is one of those few that upon taking a look at it I am so thrilled that we took this sponsorship guys this is an absolutely fantastic game one of the best games I have played in 2022 especially for 3d puzzle platformers this might be the best one released in 2022 I can't stress that enough so instead of me just telling you that it is I'm gonna let the gameplay do the talking so enjoy a bunch of clips of gameplay here from you guys showing you some of the fun puzzles and other really kooky things about this game and you guys can decide for yourself I'll have a link down in the description if you're interested in checking this game out


meeting, but before going to that, we will invite you open the public forum. Sarah, any member of the public who would like to speak to the board, former Councillor Sharon Busher is here with us in person tonight, not just the disembodied voice on Zoom. She's with us. My phone isn't working, so I'm having difficulties moving in. I wanted to come to speak in strong support of the two items that you have on the agenda. Before the meeting, I thank the fire chief for the proposal for the response, the overdose response team pilot, and I think it's a measured response, and I think it's a welcome response. I think that the community also really has confidence in the fire department because you're not the enforcement department, and I think that that issue is still difficult for our community, and so I think that this is a really good pilot, and I hope it's successful, and I'm hoping that actually will continue after you evaluated it, and I understand and I appreciate the evaluation and the concern about redundancy of resources, and I don't want to waste money either, but when I spoke to the fact of the community's confidence, I think that really needs to be evaluated in that equation, so that's my phone, and I apologize. The second thing has to do with the warming shelter, and I'm so thankful that you were able to find a place to house people that are in need of protection from our cold climate, so I support this, but I have some questions. The timeline, December 15th to March 15th, is good, but we realize we know that our climate gets colder before December 15th, and I know it must be resources that are part of the obstacle, but I really wondered if you could move that up and have that open earlier. I know what I'm asking, and I see that the CEDO director is here, Brian Pine is here, but I was hoping maybe November 15th, but maybe if that's unrealistic, maybe December 1st, or whatever you can do to beat that opening of December 15th. I think that's really important. The second piece had to do with the fact that you offer a meal, an evening meal, which is good, and then I read that there was going to be some type of snack before the people, because they can enter at five at night and have to leave by eight in the morning, some kind of morning snack, and I wondered if you could consider with food insecurity the way it is, you could consider offering breakfast. I'm not talking about scrambled eggs and waffles, I'm talking about maybe a big pot of oatmeal with some raisins and brown sugar, and so they would have some warmth before they go out into the day, which is going to be cold also, and I realize there are places that are open during the day for them to seek shelter, but not everyone does that. We know that's a matter of choice, so I'm here to speak and support, but to also bring forward some maybe challenges to see if you can do a little bit more, and I know that's a big ask, but thank you so much for hearing my comments. Sharon, thank you. Thanks for coming and joining us tonight and your comments. Any, I do not see anyone else in the room here, speak to the board, is there anyone else online? If you're online, you can raise your hand. Okay, it does look like there's at least one attendee online, but we do not see a raised hand, so I'm going to close the public forum, and we will move to those two deliberative items. The first is 3.1, Burlington Fire Department Community Response Team, going tonight by Chief LeChance, who has personally put a great deal of effort and thought into this concept, working with the Firefighters Association. We have Kyle Blake here as well. Appreciate your being here and your support of this initiative. You know, Burlington has been on the cutting edge of responding to this drug crisis for years now. We have tried many new initiatives, and we need to keep, as this crisis evolves and changes and deepens, it's clear that we need to keep changing our response, and I really appreciate Chief LeChance responding to that challenge and coming forward with a concept that potentially has a lot of benefits to it, both life-saving benefits for people who are overseeing this community, new supports for the public, the city workers who are being impacted by this burgeoning challenge right now, and I appreciate the thought that's gone into how to make this a maximally effective team and how to get it started quickly. So, with that, Chief LeChance, over to you, Dan. Thank you very much. If you want to kick this off. Thank you. So, yeah, this began as a conversation from the ground up at the Fire Department. I think everybody is looking for solutions, not only to the ever-increasing call volume at the Fire Department, but to our community's needs. We do have employees with a real heart to truly help folks, and like I've said before, if you want to demotivate a firefighter and allow them to feel like what they're doing isn't making a difference, and sometimes this cycle that we're in of overdose or unresponsiveness right to the hospital and back is really a struggle. So, I have folks come to me and say, listen, Chief, put me in the UTV. Of course, it was summertime then. The UTV doesn't have heat, so we're going to use a pickup truck now, and let us just go out there and let us run these unresponsives and run these overdoses, really, and do some outreach in the community. So, we came up with this plan. I sent it to the Mayor maybe three and a half weeks ago, so we haven't been wasting any time to do this, and I really appreciate you guys hearing this tonight at this special meeting. I know Ryan had had a agenda item, so I appreciate you putting this in. This will be a overtime six-month pilot. It will be overtime paid to current staff. We're not going to be hiring any new staff for this pilot. That being said, it is voluntary overtime only. I really, we do have minimum staffing requirements already that we cover with overtime. We're covering overtime in the dispatch center, and now we have this. So, the firefighters are working a lot of hours. So, I do plan to be very thoughtful of them, and I want to use their time, and honestly, the finances that are afforded to us to the maximum capacity. So, this purposefully is a plan with low-guard risk. I want our folks to be out in the community. I want them to be giving feedback on what they're finding. I want them to tell me, hey, Chief, we don't need to be out here this time to this time. This time to this time would be better. Like, it's going to be a real interactive, like, moving and shaking kind of pilot to not be down this narrow road of rules, really. Because I think that's one of the issues is we head down these narrow roads, and we, or we should have gone this way or should have gone that. I want to give the fire department folks that are signing up for this the latitude to make those changes. So, my participant's screen sharing has been disabled. Okay, Chief, we do need, we have a full evening tonight, and we'll be finishing this up by about 5.30. Then we have one item after you. So, if I don't need it, then I'll share this tonight at council, and we don't need to share it now. But if anybody has any questions, what we're looking for is six months. I priced it at 12 hours a day, two people, seven days a week. I think that's going to be best or worst case scenario, and I was looking at it from the financial point, or the service point, but I think that that'll be a realistic cap to the program. President Paul. Thanks, Mayor. I have one small comment, but I will move the recommended action. Action is recommended on civic work. I just wanted to say I've said this I've said this a few times before, but I don't get tired of saying it, so I hope you know my hearing that a lot of the inspiration that is in one of the main clauses for the Drug Crisis Resolution that we're going to be talking about online in a couple of hours, indirectly from Chief LeChance, that is that we need to stop studying everything and stop extensive years of public process and get going on old responses and new and innovative ideas and just grateful to you. Grateful to you, Kyle, as well, for coming forward for this, for all of you coming forward with this. Let's give it a try. Let's give it a try. Thank you, President Paul. Is there any other discussion? Welcome. First, we need a session. Go with the third. This is great. Any further discussions? Seeing none, we'll we'll go to vote. All those in favor of the motion, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you, Chief. Thank you. We'll see you again in a little bit and that brings us to the other item of this special meeting 3.2, which is a city of Burlington seasonal forming shelter project. Again, an example of which I think there are many of our responses to the current crisis being very real time and action oriented. That's always been the ethic, ethic mini stat table in our efforts for the last six years. This represents a expansion of again of the city's involvement with the issue of homelessness. This is we go back a decade. Certainly homelessness is something we cared about and advocated and engaged in some ways, but the city's direct involvement with it was limited. That started to change in 2014 when we supported it and really helped advocates help CBOO start the first winter warming shelter in the city. We've had winter warming shelters every year since in some form. From most of that time we had a winter warming shelter at almost exactly the same place as we're proposing it now right across the street underneath in the bottom floor of the building now owned by the Turing Point Center where Turing Point Center operates. We had to close that location when the pandemic hit and when it was no longer safe to people to house people in congregate settings like that. We kept our commitment to housing the most vulnerable members of our community first with a facility at the North Beach campground and then ultimately through the purchase of the sham plain in and that has operated as our winter warming shelter since the end of the pandemic. That property is going through another transition now and we'll continue to house homeless individuals as a low barrier shelter but will no longer serve as this emergency overnight shelter and so there's a real need for this and I want to thank Brian and Sarah Russell our special system homelessness for responding as soon as it was clear that there was going to be this gap in services. This year starting the conversation with the state of Vermont and others to ensure that we would have this capacity. We just just a few days ago received the commitment from the state for the finances necessary to open this facility and it moved immediately to get this in front of you tonight and start communicating about this with the public with a statewide newsletter at the end of last week and briefing earlier today. I know even so the conversation is moving quickly and is a bit of a surprise to some. It is moving quickly because the issue that was mentioned the public forum that Sharon mentioned. A bunch of work needs to happen at the site for this facility to be opened this winter. It's already going to be a stretch to get it ready at December 15th. Maybe sit or run you can speak to how that date was cited upon to keep that schedule we need action from the council tonight. So thus the special meeting tonight and the concurrent action with the council momentarily and you know I guess just speaking I want to say again before handing over my confidence in this being a good location comes from that experience we had for five years operating a very similar facility at most exactly this location. There were very few public complaints about the facility. Those years was generally supported by downtown stakeholders. There was generally a sense that it not only was life-saving and provided important services but that it also was a enhancement and a support for our successful vibrant downtown and that's what we seek to again big change this time versus then it really speaks to the city's deepening commitment in this area. We cannot go back to the nonprofit community and cajole pressure beg them again to open yet another facility. We've done that twice in the last couple years here. It's now clear that at least for the foreseeable future this challenge of homelessness is one that is with us and that we have to develop some additional city capacity to address. I'm grateful the state is actually funding that additional capacity with the proposal bringing to you tonight so it's not only the payment for the shelter this is also the creation of a new position that will take some of the responsibilities and real work pressure off Sarah in managing these facilities and get an additional staff member to take on some of those responsibilities so that Sarah's role can fulfill more of its intention of being working at the systemic level to really end homelessness not just I hope should help us respond to the most severe symptoms so President Paul. My apologies I just have a point of information that is that it's now 5.20 to 3.00 we really need to start the council meeting at 5.30 to plan on giving an extensive and no time can be wrong I would love to hear it. We do have the obviously we have this coming to the council as well and so I'm just wondering you know just we are playing the full briefing there and I think if you know I know each of you have had some additional engagement outside so why don't you know we still got seven minutes left this time if there are questions but why don't I I felt it was important to put some of that out there to give things off but now the floor's open if there are any questions or when we're ready I'm hoping there will be support for a motion Councilor Barlow. Thank you and thanks for your quick work on this. I do have concerns I express those to you over email just in my work recently and even this afternoon when I sat in on the downtown workers public safety before I had it back this afternoon there's there's real concern that this is going to exacerbate and so I'll lay my fears off this. Are there are there plans to deal with some of the peripheral activity that might happen outside of the shelter? We saw an elderly facility when it first opened. Where are there other locations like that? My last question is is the money that the state granted tied to this location or is it a bunch of long agreements? The funding is really tied to this location because we had to we acted really quickly to identify a site there are we proposed 108 Cherry Street that location to the state and that was to that was denied that was our peripheral so that was not a feasible location. We're really limited in in where we can where where we have space that's being used within the city to to be able to open something like this and the budget was created and presented to AHS with with some level of capital investment specifically around cameras will be installed around the exterior of the property and a few inside as well and some of some adjustments modifications that need to be made inside to make this base usable so the budget is being set up on that location. In terms of security as I was kind of reflecting on this and that has been has been their status that location that's been used for this purpose across the street that has been used for this purpose and one of the things that is different about the shelters that we will have overnight security on site historically the warming shelters that operated out of 179 directly across the road not have any security presence overnight so we will have a security guard that will be on for the duration of operations every day in addition to to two social workers who will be managing the shelter during off hours with on call as well. In terms of the surrounding area like for instance the parking garage where I know they still have a needle problem in the parking garage. I mean I think that there's active spots that are around the city where folks are utilizing for shelter our hope is that by providing a safe warm space for people to be it will it will draw people from some of those places that are less convenient or safe. It's also important to note this is actually operating as a shelter where you come and get admitted on a nightly basis and so there's no expectation that you get to reserve a bed which is an important aspect because it does provide shelter for those who need it depending on their conditions the weather whether they have a place to stay or they don't have a place to stay and it is a built-in sort of sense of you know there's there's a built-in turnover which in some way does alleviate that concern a little bit we think around you know certain behaviors taking place and being kind of firmly set in stone to have people staying close for quite a while. So I think it's important to know there have been three types so again when we operate a winter warming shelter from such this location it did not create community impacts to any great degree. There was a pandemic era community resource center daytime facility very different operation that there were certainly community impacts associated with that and concerns associated with that and that is not what this is and I think it's important to recognize that always not what this is. We have continued to fund with our emergency dollars and state dollars a community resource center that was recently expanded that will continue to operate that does serve breakfast their expectation is that there will be numerous individuals from the overnight shelter who may well go and take part of the 2,000 people that are accessing services at the community resource center and that that I think it's important to know that those operations are continuing and I think that is a investment that is going to reduce the likelihood of there being problems in the daytime hours at the time that people are leaving the shelter in the area. If there are issues we will we will do our best to address them as we have in other shelters. I do think from my perspective we have overwhelming complaints and concerns being expressed about unsheltered individuals sleeping outside in campments in storefronts in parking garages on church properties. It is that those those issues which I think that very visible unsheltered presence which is driving from my perspective a lot of the concern of the downtown being expressed by the public that is not being caused by the shelters that is being caused by a lack of capacity in the shelters lack of capacity in our other social services. I don't see how we can both be again trying to act trying to respond to the public in finding shelter for the more than 200 folks that are we are documented are unsheltered currently sleeping outside. Shelters are really just about our only one of our only tools for addressing that. I think it is important to note that it is this is not the only shelter being discussed in the sense that we do continue to advocate for the state to be running its emergency sheltering operations as well. So that's the continuation of the hotel program that we advocated strongly for and kept 2,200 people statewide. You're part of the coalition that kept 2,200 people including a couple hundred Chittenden County residents housed through to next April. We're going to give an update on that later tonight and we are advocating strongly correct me Sarah if I don't get the terms quite right but the adverse weather conditions program that the state has run in recent years we are they've been noncommittal about exactly what they are going to do with that this upcoming season we are advocating for them to continue the kind of epidemic era periods which would mean housing many people in Chittenden County hotels. So it is not Burlington alone that will be part of this sheltering but we need to be part of it and that's why we brought this forward. So we are short on time I hope that's been a sufficient response to your question. Councilor McGee. I'm happy to make the motion. Thank you. Do we have a second? Thank you President Paul. I don't mean to catch or debate and we will have further discussion of it later. We'll be able to answer questions at that point. There are other counselors who also had questions so I'm sure you and Sarah will go around them. If I certainly would understand that if you were ready to vote until we had that further debated if you wanted to stay in that survey. I have further discussion with the council. Okay great thank you appreciate that. So without I will go if we'll go to a vote all those in favor of the motion please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? The motion carries unanimously and thank you Brian and Sarah for working on this and we'll see you later tonight and with that we have concluded the business of this special board of finance meeting and without objection we are adjourned.
