  55. 49 Mayor Pro Tem Scott stated under the category housing preservation, who administers those programs? Christina Taylor, Director of Community Development, stated the programs are under Community Development. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked why are they not expending any money on those programs. Director Taylor stated prior to 1 1/2 years ago, she is not sure what the outreach was on these programs. They have since developed a robust outreach, they have gone out to the mobile home parks and different entities that work with people who would be eligible. They now have a substantial amount of applications under review, which takes time. They have started to confirm people who are eligible. Next reporting they will see a different metric. This was for fiscal year 2025/2026. Mayor Pro Tem Scott stated for 25/26 they only spent $33,000? He has been concerned about this for the last 10 years. They don't expend money in these categories, yet they have money to help people in mobile homes, residential rehabs, etc. and they don't ever seem to spend the money. This tells him they haven't been doing good marketing for these programs. Glad to hear they are now doing a robust one. He would like a report back sooner rather than later because these are dollars senior citizens can use to fix serious issues in their mobile homes. The money is available, they either don't know its there or they don't come and ask for it. They need to reach out and really help those in need.

  67. 57 ADJOURNMENT
  68. 58 Mayor Pro Tem Scott stated with the taking over of AMR ambulance services by CONFIRE, who will be doing facility to facility transfers. Fire Chief Jensen stated the agreement they have been working on, to bring back, is an Interfacility Transport Mutual-Aid Agreement with CONFIRE to continue to provide that service as AMR currently does today. They have done an analysis of the interfacility transport impacts; approximately 118 per year. The cost of providing that service is much higher than what they would recover from the interfacility transports. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked what are they doing with the outgoing units. Fire Chief Jensen stated the delivery of the new units is still 9 months out, so it will be just over 3 years with the current ambulances. At that time they will evaluate what capabilities those ambulances may have internally of the organization and decide how and where they will move them such as, surplus or sales to other fire agencies. Mayor Pro Tem Scott stated unfortunately as someone who has had to ride in that toy Tonka truck ambulance, he is glad to see they are moving back to the ambulances they previously had. He doesn't think the current ambulance are very safe. Going back to the interfacility transports, from what Fire Chief Jensen is saying they are not going to provide that service because of the inability to make any profit off of them? Fire Chief Jensen stated in their analysis the Interfacility Transport Program, the cost of providing two ambulances for 118 interfacility transports annually, their position is that its costing more than what they are able to recover. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked if CONFIRE is willing to take over that service. Fire Chief Jensen stated, yes, they will be bringing back to City Council, a Mutual Aid Agreement for the interfacility transports. Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked who will be doing it between October - January. Fire Chief Jensen stated that CONFIRE has agreed to take that action and continue that interfacility transport service.
  69. 59 Mayor Baca stated he is in favor of this and thinks its good. He thinks safety for our residents is important and making sure they have the best equipment to get there as soon as possible. He asked for a clear picture of what is spent from the General Fund budget after this and what revenue they need to go after to continue to replenish the General Fund and the Reserves. City Manager Williams stated there is no impact to the General Fund, they are using Development Impact Fees and the GEMT Fund. They will report back on these fund balances. Council Member Montoya stated he went on a ride with Fire and he has worked in plenty of ambulances, civilian and military. He had a difficult time standing and maneuvering in these ambulances. Its also a very rough ride and very noisy.
  70. 60 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Scott, second by Council Member Perez and carried by a 5-0 vote to approve TAB 4.
  71. 63 Motion by Council Member Perez, second by Council Member Montoya and carried by a 5-0 vote to adjourn the meeting at 8:19 pm.
