Consider Approval of Request for a Temporary Use/Business License to conduct door to door sales and hang advertisements for ENM Construction & Roofing Contact: Janice D Carter 0:03:49 06:04:42 PM Mr. Patterson Mr. Patterson explained ENM Construction & Roofing is requesting approval for a business license. He said the applicant has provided all necessary materials for the application such as a surety bond, however the police department was unable to identify enough relevant information to assemble an adequate investigation report. He said the company is not an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. He said only three reviews were found for the company and the Planning Department recommend denial of this request due to the lack of material for an investigative report. Mayor Janway asked if there was a representative present. Ms. Janice D. Carter explained the request is for approval of distributing door hangers for advertisement purposes. She said she has not been able to pay for the Better Business Bureau, she said she is keeping the business going and therefore is why she is requesting approval for advertising by door hangers. She said her company has been doing roofing in the area since 2003. She said she has a very long reference list and was not aware there was a problem obtaining a background check. She said she is also a nurse and trying to make a living. Councilor Rodriguez asked Ms. Carter if she has the references and business as described why all of sudden does she need to advertise. She answered she has been advertising and this was a new idea. She said she didn't realize she would need to go before Council, as she was only applying for a permit to distribute door hangers. She said with the new subdivisions, if there were a hail storm she could make some money and pay the Better Business Bureau. She said it is mainly about money. Councilor Walterschied asked if you need a license to go door to door. There was an answer of a permit is required for door to door solicitation. Mayor Janway asked if there were anymore questions. There were none. Councilor Shirley said this company has been in Carlsbad a little while, although there is not a lot online for this applicant, he feels due diligence was done by the Planning Department. 0:07:27 06:08:20 PM Motion The motion was made by Councilor Shirley and seconded by Councilor Anaya-Flores to approve a Request for a Temporary Use/Business License to conduct door to door sales and hang advertisements for ENM Construction & Roofing Contact: Janice D Carter 0:07:34 06:08:27 PM Mayor Janway Mayor Janway reminded everyone there needs to be four "yes" votes for the motion to pass, to be approved. 0:07:42 06:08:35 PM Vote The vote was as follows: Yes - Estrada, Shirley, Anaya-Flores, Chavez; No - Rodriguez, Walterscheid ; Absent -Waters, Carter; the motion carried. 0:08:14 06:09:07 PM 4. Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan Preliminary List Presentation for FY 2023-2027 for Council Review and Recommendations for changes 0:08:27 06:09:20 PM Mrs. Barrios-Testa Mrs. Barrios-Testa explained this is a five year plan that is updated annually. She said this provides opportunity to review list from the previous year to update projects. She said it allows for an opportunity to re-prioritize projects as needed. She said there are benchmarks to keep consistent for review by Councilors and the public. She said this coincides with other funding processes, such as the budget and the state legislature session, therefore we are able to apply for capital outlay funds and federal funding programs. She said there were some delays and changes this year due to COVID-19, however the benchmarks were accomplished almost on schedule. She said there were in person public meetings and the city staff is always prepared even as deadlines change. She explained there are 52 municipality and 5 senior facility projects. She said there is an internal development process, Directors and City Administration review the previous list to identify projects that have been funded, changed priority or changed based on other factors. She said as part of the project development Directors provide internal project applications, which have pertinant information needed for the state. She said the information is useful when applying for grant programs. She said in your packet is the evalution methodology and results. She said a risk matrix is used by the City as its methodology for scoring projects based on the risk assessment and need basis. She said scoring is reviewed and approved by city administration. She said this a fair and transparent way to prioritize projects that are critical. She said this presentation is part of the public participation process. She said recommendations will be taken until August 13, 2021. She said it will be presented at the August 24, 2021 Council Meeting to meet the state deadline of September 17, 2021. Councilor Rodriguez asked if the risk matrix is conducted in person or by email, and is everyone aware of what is being discussed. Mrs. Barrios-Testa answered the Department Directors are present and evaluate their own projects individiually, then there is a meeting with everyone to evaluate the projects with discussion about justification for each project. Councilor Walterscheid asked about item #37, traffic light study which is changing out the traffic lights. He said he was under the impression that was the State of New Mexico's job and not the City of Carlsbad. Mr. Lowe added these would be traffic lights that are the Ctiy of Carlsbad's responsibility. Mr. Lowe said as an example, Church and Mesa are the City's responsibility and several others are on state highways and the Ctiy has a maintenance agreement with the state to maintain those traffic lights. Councilor Walterscheid asked about the traffic lights on South Canal at the Wal-Mart intersection, as they are problematic. Mr. Lowe explained we are not responsible for the lights at the Wal-Mart intersection, and are constantly working with the state to correct the issues. 0:14:07 06:15:00 PM 5.
