[00:01] We'll now call one of the regular meeting of the Mauna City Council Monday,
[00:06] for which we're going to the second twenty-one month, but we'll give that to them
[00:11] to give them the first one of the branches, and we'll think we're adding five of them.
[00:15] Number three, consent agenda.
[00:17] Step at the end of the group, five, four, five.
[00:20] And we'll move to the second.
[00:26] We'll move to the final.
[00:28] Number three, consent agenda.
[00:33] Four, five, six, four, five.
[00:37] The two claim to the group are the five.
[00:44] I don't know the same.
[00:49] So I can say, I guess I'll restake myself earlier.
[00:51] So these claims that are in your back end, that's why I did mention,
[00:54] very interesting.
[00:55] These were pretty silly have been done last week, very important,
[00:59] and basically another myth.
[01:01] We were unable to have council meeting, and so tonight we're not free, and we can move forward with payments and other clubs in the city,
[01:13] that for ordinance myself and Mayor are able to approve those claims.
[01:19] So myself, the mayor, which is calling that the telephone, with room all of the claims in your packet,
[01:27] and we're going to review them, and then they recognize us to approve them, and we're going to afford the city operations.
[01:33] Knowing that they would come back, we're going to fill in the bill, and you can come to that.
[01:37] So those are the claims that we're in the packet.
[01:39] Okay, okay.
[01:49] Okay.
[01:51] Okay.

[02:27] Step reports.
[02:28] Jim there at council meeting.
[02:36] The mountain.
[02:37] But I have to say that.
[02:45] Thank you.
[02:46] Thank you.
[02:47] I'm Christian Church and we like to ask you in church, or.
[02:51] Step down this week to be.
[02:53] Shelter's acts for our homeless.
[02:54] Let's list for.
[02:56] Peter.
[02:58] One of my issues.
[03:00] have been picked around cross for green costs,
[03:04] but other local people who stepped up,
[03:06] brought food, cash, and classified,
[03:09] and how they're into the church,
[03:10] and just those folks come.
[03:13] But we'll say, do this lead.
[03:18] I said on several calls with our city manager,
[03:21] and part of the heads, and I actually got to see
[03:26] it in action, and I don't know yet,
[03:28] but I don't see a situation.
[03:30] And we did not stay in the office by our low-reson,
[03:35] did I see a manager watching an action lead,
[03:38] like he did, do that, to watch our apartment heads,
[03:42] him delegated to the apartment heads,
[03:43] and then the once or ten of the action,
[03:46] it was pretty cool to watch.
[03:48] And all the way down to the guys playing the streets,
[03:53] you know, everybody did not stay in the job,
[03:57] and I was proud to be part of the, you know,
[04:00] you know, I've just got set there a list of a lot.
[04:03] I actually see,
[04:05] there was a new emotion that didn't take care of it.
[04:07] So I appreciate it, as well as the city staff,
[04:09] and all you used this week,
[04:11] so it was a new offer to our citizens.
[04:20] 11, City Manager of the Education.
[04:24] Well, first of all, we'd like to really piggyback
[04:28] on one of some of the mayor's sentiments.
[04:31] It was a very interesting, rough, unique last week,
[04:37] with unprecedented weather that many others have not seen in their life.
[04:45] No doubt that there were events that were taking place
[04:49] and are very hard to prepare as someone trying to take care
[04:55] of their family or as us working to the city,
[04:59] trying to take care of citizens and divisions.
[05:02] And the operations that we support, obviously,
[05:06] you know, running, running the interesting challenge.
[05:09] We thought diesel motors were hard to run
[05:13] and you know, cold temperatures.
[05:16] You could have in sub-zero temperatures,
[05:18] and they're almost impossible.
[05:21] But the teams were rallying tremendously.
[05:25] It was extremely impressive for someone new
[05:28] to mind the city government.
[05:30] To see these teams jump into action,
[05:32] deliver hesitate of moment, to jump into the digital water,
[05:38] to dig up a broken warming, to grab a fire nose
[05:42] and be involved in water, spray, and still fighting fires
[05:48] having our folks, or the security responders out,
[05:52] is a weather in the elements, no matter the situation,
[05:55] is still respond.
[05:57] And our folks in the office.
[06:00] stepping up, working the hours, communicating. Everybody was so focused on the job of
[06:06] the end and community. It really went so far our technology going to do. The city runs
[06:17] with the Microsoft Teams. We were able to jump on the video communication multiple times
[06:25] throughout the day and that was every city represented. Communicating across the work,
[06:32] working doing the public safety, working doing the streets. What we're doing with our
[06:37] public building, our library and the coal. We talked about, you know, the water, water
[06:43] conservation, utilities, and electric, we had a constant conversation and all the situations
[06:49] with the electric. But the entire team was in trouble. We did it quickly, and then we
[06:56] could wrap up each one of those calls with what is the communication in the public and when
[07:02] we capture all those notes and then our cheating police, the XC, the jump on social media,
[07:10] and broadcast the message out on that regular basis. That became quickly a central point for us
[07:17] as a thing to be able to communicate with our system and the status of our rows or streets,
[07:24] whether as well as our in the situation with utilities. Everybody had a fantastic job and I couldn't
[07:34] be more proud. The hour you were putting in, we started this actually the weekend before
[07:40] and started having meetings over the weekend preparing. One day was a holiday, lots of clothes,
[07:47] and we continued to have meetings. And throughout the week, we were having specific strategic
[07:54] office closure. That's something else that I wanted to kind of talk about was the office closure
[08:01] of those conversations. That was not something that was taken lightly. Because some of
[08:06] our offices are in the area in which citizens engage with their city government who don't want to be available.
[08:12] And we never want to not be providing services to our citizens. So in those conversations we were able to quickly discuss,
[08:21] we talked a lot about a central and non-sensitive personnel, folks knowing who's expected to be
[08:28] in the office or at work in a car truck, operating equipment, making sure the services are being done.
[08:36] We had staff there all ready to tell them because of COVID. So we have to step ahead of the game and we will utilize those folks and they can do
[08:45] working throughout the week, even though the office is proposed, they were going to tell what
[08:49] in front of our homes, operating normal city operations. So thanks for being done.
[08:55] One of the things we wanted to very closely was closing up.
[09:00] the customer service like that's one area in which we know citizens make them in the
[09:05] community for paying a bill directly or anything.
[09:09] We know we have six other banks across town that are seven bankers, we have Dropbox.
[09:15] We can go and drop off the bankers as well, they have online payments, and we have
[09:20] a lot of background.
[09:22] So for the most part, things kept looking right on for we also could be very
[09:29] a lot of the situation we were having with power conservation departments.
[09:33] We had Jared and you know requesting that we need the power conservation
[09:38] logo that happens in businesses and it's quite a tricky process to see.
[09:44] To shut down those policies, so taking those things into effect and we weren't adding them all of that.
[09:48] But just being here, there's a team that looked at what operations were opening.
[09:52] So rather than coming in into trying to stop them from seeing what building to cross town,
[09:57] I don't know, wasn't necessarily, not to mention we had some interesting challenges
[10:02] with the heat in this building, well, I know, the officers, my officers, then the office,
[10:09] and the mother offices were down in the foys, and during the week, because the ACU was not able
[10:15] to keep up in the temperatures that we were, so here, it wasn't even the most comfortable
[10:21] to be, but honestly, things couldn't click back, the team stepped up, everybody was
[10:29] able to keep things down, I never felt like city operations were being a warrior, and I was
[10:34] being defeated, but as anticipated from that aspect, I think it was really not to say, we're
[10:44] not just a lot of love this week, we've already got one scheduled to do a plus more of a million
[10:49] day, but I knew lessons weren't, I think we wanted to bring them to the day, and discussed
[10:55] what we think we could do better next.
[10:57] The noise rates were up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and
[11:00] up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up.
[11:02] That being said, you know, less of your point of huge thanks to our partners across the city
[11:08] and the step-up, we were able to provide shelters, and I think we consistently felt like we had
[11:15] a capacity where it would be the needs of their rows, and we had partners in the means
[11:20] of radio, and up and doors, and we had been backstaffed, and we went to the city, those folks
[11:26] just kept things like stepping up as the new rows, and so, as anticipated as the community
[11:32] responded, you know, that's fine, all we've done, and that being said, I mean, it's probably
[11:39] a new part of it, we've watched this team, and it's probably all great, I think we'll
[11:44] work a lot for this experience, and the community is a talent, and the sector is less and more
[11:48] and more.
[11:49] And hopefully we get our happens experience at the end, but it will make us stronger, and I think it's better
[12:00] From a communication perspective, we tried to really use all the different channels that were
[12:04] able to us from social media, to our websites, we did broadcast telephone messages,
[12:14] and we are building a system as well as text messages, but one of the things we don't
[12:19] have that are supposed to look really trying to better utilize is in text, text, and
[12:25] you know, a system that is offered through our hosting provider, our website.
[12:31] Unfortunately, the utilization was pretty low, you know, we had about the 700 incisions
[12:36] signed up for that service, but one of the things we did is, the opportunity is
[12:41] last week, we were broadcasting our messages through our call system, the program
[12:46] and the assistance of what drives you to go side up for that system.
[12:50] We're going to continue to push that and hope that we can really drive an option.
[12:54] We can go to our website, sign up for that word system.
[12:58] We've actually looked at our licensing permission, we have our license in place,
[13:04] since we did that, and if we can give more citizens signed up for that service, then we will
[13:11] have a great flexibility in the capability so that we can better communicate
[13:15] out the broadcast, push messages, and citizens.
[13:19] In most cases, it may be as simple as a text message, pointing them to your website,
[13:24] which is pretty much something that we're letting you get a current information.
[13:29] So we hope to see more of that information, and hopefully we'll see more roads,
[13:34] and we'll have to fill on that, and once to a high, and we can see the number check out
[13:40] in the background.
[13:43] Other than that, I think that's really probably everything I have at this time.
[13:49] So I'm going to answer your questions.
[13:53] Thank you.
[14:01] Thank you.
[14:03] I'm 12, and maybe we'll be continuing from the blanket room.
[14:08] And we're going to begin with the staffing for the purposes of the executive session.
[14:15] 15.
[14:16] 15.
[14:18] You can go to the discussion about the act of the right committee.
[14:20] The utility bill.
[14:21] Right.
[14:22] There was a very different session.
[14:24] There was no action as taken.
[14:26] And that's in the end of our relationship with a summary of the executive session.
[14:34] So in the executive session, we discussed a couple items.
[14:40] The council one was the estimation of consumption.
[14:48] And this refers to our casting show.
[14:51] It's a little important.
[14:52] And the statement I would like to read involves there will be areas we will have to estimate.
[15:00] So I slow our team was blocking those covering leaders and blocking the indexes, making this
[15:07] to logistically impossible. It is our goal to stay in target letters and call our customers
[15:13] effective. This is never ideal, and as we understand, we can cause customer frustration
[15:19] with the tropchoccurry and mutual value of the state.
[15:23] Estimations like that would be lower than what was actually new during this moment. So we have
[15:29] to be able to possibly be advised to be accustomed to the best of a new reading. There was
[15:33] time to pay extra to the anticipation of the intruder in the following words.
[15:38] Additionally, to the disadvantage of the benefits of the average number of people playing
[15:44] in our day of the market. In England, you can sign up to the course, the more history
[15:50] of the better, the better. If low history is available, the best version of this cost, the cost
[15:57] of the term in what opportunity to invest in the country needs such a way.
[16:01] We budgeted fund and resources for normal, for norms and fees, not being sectioned by hearing
[16:07] and issues in 12-inch plus countries. Realistically, given our current infrastructure and making
[16:14] process, give the cost to the insistence of the state of the state of the way just in case we have
[16:22] under a year when it should be. So when it does happen, the best we just want together to work through it
[16:28] together. That was our discussion in the captain of some of the comments in the
[16:35] simplest, probably in the captain. The second thing we are about was the utilization of the
[16:43] system. So citizens and businesses must bring their higher bills into significant
[16:51] increases in utilization, in addition to the potential for cost and increase in power,
[16:55] generation, and passed on to the state. GRDA has a great stabilization fund.
[17:01] How much they will use in this fund and the impact it will have on our cost to purchase electricity
[17:06] and the coming funds is not yet known. GRDA has stated they will have information to share with
[17:13] customers by the March approach. The city already has offerings to support customers.
[17:23] The utility bills that we are building in the deal with, we currently offer the effort with the plan.
[17:29] We also have the contract to pay out the amount of time. We also have been working to coordinate the local
[17:37] materials, and the offering, and utility systems programs.
[17:41] Concentration continues to be a key to public. We must not do as much.
[17:46] We can't continue to increase our utilization and the ongoing energy crisis.
[17:52] In of course, as we say, learn the information from GRDA.
[18:00] or the state, or the separation permission of anyone else
[18:04] to have an impact on the situation.
[18:07] We're going to be in the put-by information
[18:08] after some of the positions.
[18:10] The position we're in today is you're trying to be in the response
[18:15] of what's possible and shared with you, no questions.
[18:17] Without creating a campaign for your information,
[18:20] we don't have to.
[18:22] We've been pushing them to make it a basis
[18:25] in a year and a day, Tyler, and we're calling them to you.
[18:28] Trying to make it a basis.
[18:31] We've seen the role of the pressure of information
[18:34] on our health, and to another press conference.
[18:36] Today, we've got a relation to mention from Secretary of Agriculture.
[18:40] And, you know, our part is trying to really drill down
[18:43] another thing in how it impacts us this is,
[18:47] the environment of the power of the consent of the union,
[18:51] and how it's upstream and why we're having that effect
[18:55] if we're all being able to see the impact.
[18:59] We are just concerned about the effect that we have.
[19:04] But the best thing we can do right now,
[19:07] which is all we can do with these traits,
[19:09] and we can do it today, and we can do well.
[19:12] So that's what we're going to do.
[19:14] I'm not going to tell you that.
[19:16] I'm going to tell you that.
[19:19] So, ladies and gentlemen.
