I think they're in talks with you at the 54 00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:25,560 moment to bring neighborhood fiber for us. Obviously, we're not having to pay for it. It 55 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,960 sounds like they're going to be paying for most of the funding, although there's some paving that 56 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,900 they have to do. As someone who's spent more than 30 years working in technology and evaluating 57 00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:40,080 technology organizations and infrastructure, I can say that broadband is no longer at 58 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,280 And as things get more and more, upload speeds are becoming more critical to kind of what 59 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,060 we do for work. 60 00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:56,120 Today's families rely on level internet for work, education, telehealth, class computing, 61 00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:57,820 AI applications, home security. 62 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,940 And so on and so forth. They require fast upload speeds just as much as the fast downloads, which, unfortunately, 63 00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:13,200 Glenwood and many surrounding neighborhoods continue to have limited broadband choices. While Cox provides service, 64 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:21,580 its cable network continues to offer significantly slower upload speeds than download. AT&T currently does not provide any 65 00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:25,340 significant fees, upload speeds, or down those speeds in our neighborhood, 66 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,080 nor does our link or any of the cell providers that are in the neighborhood. 67 00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:37,800 The project that we're talking about encourages providers to improve their networks, 68 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,540 which includes COX as well, to invest in better infrastructure and provide better 69 00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:46,020 value for residents, everyone benefits when consumers have options. 70 00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:51,260 Fiber infrastructure is also an investment in the long-term value of our community. 71 00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:55,260 Today, prospective home buyers evaluate broadband, availability alongside schools, 72 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,460 parks, transportation, communities with fiber, connectivity are increasingly viewed as more 73 00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:06,580 desirable, helping to support enhanced property values for us. We make this opportunity, 74 00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:11,180 especially compelling, is the timing. The city is already investing in roadways at the moment, 75 00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:14,640 and so, and portions of my neighborhood require construction regardless. 76 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:20,780 CityCyphyra has not made much of its infrastructure, it uses narrow curb cuts or micro-trenching 77 00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:26,380 along the roadway rather than cutting into newly paved streets years later. 78 00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:30,460 This work can be coordinated with projects that are already happening, which can minimize 79 00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:34,000 disruption, preserves new pavements, and allows private investments to improve critical 80 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,780 infrastructure at no cost. 81 00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:41,340 Mayor and Council Member, this is a rare opportunity where everyone benefits. 82 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,740 The city does not have to fund their project taxpayers and not bear the costs, residents 83 00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:48,780 gain meaningful broadband choices, home owners benefit from modern infrastructure that supports 84 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,680 value. 85 00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:55,300 I respectfully ask the Council to support the facility, this deployment in the lease of 86 00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,560 the O'Courty Construction, because I said no it's based. 87 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,500 Thank you very much. 88 00:11:58,700 --> 00:11:58,940 Thank you. 89 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,820 Any other speakers? 90 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,180 I have not received any other requests. 91 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:05,940 Okay. 92 00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:06,580 Anybody remote? 93 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:07,320 No. 94 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:07,880 Okay. 95 00:12:11,170 --> 00:12:11,390 All right. 96 00:12:11,710 --> 00:12:17,790 Before closing public comment, Madam Clerk, are there any additional speaker's, including 97 00:12:17,790 --> 00:12:21,530 anyone who experienced technical difficulties and was unable to comment? 98 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:22,790 No. 99 00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:23,690 We do not have any. 100 00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:24,190 Okay. 101 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:25,990 Thanks for bearing with me on this. 102 00:12:26,050 --> 00:12:28,730 This is our first time doing remote meetings in this manner. 103 00:12:29,470 --> 00:12:31,390 That brings us item 4, consent calendar. 104 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:32,970 We'll move to the consent calendar. 105 00:12:33,950 --> 00:12:36,830 Madam Clerk, do we have any requests to speak on the consent calendar? 106 00:12:36,830 --> 00:12:40,330 I have one request for Marie for item 4.8. 107 00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:41,390 All right. 108 00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:44,770 Let's see. 109 00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:45,250 Council members. 110 00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:46,470 Are there any requests to pull an item? 111 00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:47,850 No. 112 00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:48,770 That is not. 113 00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:50,450 I'm going to invite anyone to move the balance. 114 00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:51,530 I'll move it. 115 00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:52,450 Second. 116 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:53,990 All in favor? 117 00:12:54,570 --> 00:12:54,950 All right. 118 00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:56,350 All right. 119 00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:56,470 All right. 120 00:12:56,570 --> 00:12:56,870 That brings us. 121 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:57,670 Did you say fourth? 122 00:12:57,870 --> 00:12:58,150 That's it. 123 00:12:58,770 --> 00:12:59,570 4.8. 124 00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:01,030 All right. 125 00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:01,630 Marie, come on up. 126 00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:10,380 Hello, everyone. 127 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,160 I want to first just say I really appreciate that there are CO2 sensors are here. 128 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:31,560 So it is really wonderful that we can be validated that the air is been circulating well so that those who are feeling maybe that they haven't been able to come to meetings because they are concerned about air quality that we do have air quality sensors that are visible. 129 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,380 So I appreciate that.

We discussed empty storefronts, the owners and the managers of the properties as well as their intentions. There are a number of parcel owners making an even larger number of business decisions as they look at their real estate portfolios and we are attempting to get as much information as we can in order to encourage new tenancy. We heard a number of good ideas from the board members and we'll continue meeting with those folks and disseminate as much information as we can as we get it. 223 00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:34,110 As far as news from the mosquito and vector control district, I know we're all excited 224 00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:34,750 to hear about that. 225 00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:40,250 We are continuing to see positive mosquito samples with the West Nile virus in larger 226 00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:41,190 than normal levels. 227 00:20:41,650 --> 00:20:46,190 Last week testing resulted in 32 positive samples from 21 different locations. 228 00:20:46,890 --> 00:20:51,650 Aliso hasn't seen positive samples yet, but please stay proactive and remove any empty cardboard 229 00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:56,070 boxes from any shady areas in your yard or your property if you can. 230 00:20:56,070 --> 00:21:00,070 and mosquitoes also loves standing stagnant water 231 00:21:00,070 --> 00:21:03,830 and shady dense hedges and leaf work. 232 00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:06,630 So please be mindful of rain gutters, yard drains. 233 00:21:07,290 --> 00:21:08,030 Mosquitoes are no fun. 234 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:08,870 Mosquitoes suck. 235 00:21:10,370 --> 00:21:13,030 Lastly, today's nursing great futures market 236 00:21:13,030 --> 00:21:15,010 had upwards of 75 families receiving 237 00:21:15,010 --> 00:21:18,870 a number of staples, protein, vegetables, baby food soup. 238 00:21:19,130 --> 00:21:22,530 We're able to help close to 300 stomachs stay full 239 00:21:22,530 --> 00:21:24,830 and we can't thank the Boys and Girls Club enough 240 00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:27,510 for organizing the market for our community. That's all I got. 241 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:29,930 Awesome. Thanks, Garrett. Tim? 242 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:39,000 Yes. So, first of all, that was great to see the banner and the girls getting their 243 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,520 awards for the drawing that they submitted. That was very uplifting and very inspirational. 244 00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:50,080 The 4th of July event with the fireworks in the band was just fantastic. There wasn't a 245 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,280 piece of grass exposed. There was bodies everywhere. And as a day progressed, the more 246 00:21:54,280 --> 00:22:01,100 bodies seeped in. So it was great. And then on Saturday, we had a family style playing 247 00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:06,660 the concert over there. And that's always great. And as the Garrett said, yes, we're trying 248 00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:12,500 to really motivate and get town center revitalized. So we're knocking on doors and trying to 249 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:18,260 get communications with some of the owners. So it's not just the first level, the businesses, 250 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,980 it's the owners that may live an area or not. So we're trying to track them down and see 251 00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:30,080 what we can do because we really want to make that town center better for all of us and 252 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,660 we don't own it so we want to talk to the owners. So the first step was done, we met with 253 00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:41,700 the management company so we're looking forward to pursuing that and hopefully sooner than 254 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:48,960 later we'll see some progress. That's it. Thank you for Africa for everything they do, the concerts, 255 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,680 the fireworks show for the July the beautiful green belts that we see every day 256 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,500 in the midst of the heat and the cold you know it's always looking good so 257 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:04,960 thank you for them. Thanks Tim Mike. All right since we did not have a meeting at 258 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,580 the beginning of the month it's got a little bit longer time I'm looking at here. 259 00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:13,360 It has been very exciting how many weeks has it been now? Is it a fifth week 260 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:22,660 Brett? Five? Just six? Six? Having Brett with us and it's been fun trying to figure out who's 261 00:23:22,660 --> 00:23:27,900 Brett need to meet so we met with some businesses in the city and he's meeting with the guys 262 00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:32,000 and getting to know just the whole history here which is great and getting him up to speed 263 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,340 but that's always been great. At Orange County Fire Authority meeting last month and that 264 00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:47,760 was somewhat quiet. That board goes quiet for July and August, so I guess I think Reed's 265 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,440 got to tell me what's going on over there, so we'll be keeping track of that. Obviously 266 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,920 as everyone, as we were all there for the big fourth of July celebration, if you did not 267 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,440 make it out, you missed it. It was great. That fireworks show was phenomenal. I think they 268 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:08,160 It took a new account. It's the 250th anniversary for the country, which is fantastic too. 269 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,340 Our 25th country is 250th. My wife and I were talking that. What's going to have a next year? 270 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,160 If I got 21st and 215th. Next year is going to be pretty light because everything seems to be this year, 271 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:28,980 which is pretty exciting. Also made it to the Orange County. Oh, oh, oh, South Orange County 272 00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:32,980 economic coalition. I missed that first word that throws me. They had their board installation 273 00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:37,440 last week and that's great to group that really supports businesses throughout the county 274 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:43,260 and I've been involved with them since I got on council 14 years ago and they do a great job. 275 00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:49,700 Then I left there early, I'm saying money, raised back to Sergeant Pepperoni's sixth anniversary 276 00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:54,480 in the city. Very exciting. I kept that real low key. I thought they were going to have a bigger 277 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,120 shindigas. I guess some of the owners were there. Come on by. I thought it was going to be big of 278 00:24:59,120 --> 00:24:59,960 But they're up 279 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,340 Some fun with surprising people who were there and giving them little treats, and it was great. That is also the company's 50th anniversary, another big anniversary, 50th. And I grew up in the Orange Tuston area, and that was one of the earliest stores, was they were in Larwin Square in Tuston, so I grew up with that as the pizza parlor that I went to, so it was fun to see that too. And I don't know who else made it to the artisan market. 280 00:25:29,340 --> 00:25:35,980 We have Lizzie does a great job out at the ranch. Who's raised your hand if you've been at at least a bit of a ranch yet? 281 00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:41,240 Have you been out there? It's fantastic. It's getting better all the time. The trees are really becoming mature. 282 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,780 I saw some sort of growth on the trees and all those avocado trees. Lizzie, do you know? 283 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,340 Oh, the nut trees. Are those nuts? 284 00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:58,960 Okay, good deal. Guess we'll be starting figuring out how to process those at some point. 285 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,580 I know, what do you do with that? 286 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,180 What do you do with that kind of nut? 287 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,060 I don't know how to process it. 288 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,280 But it's looking great. 289 00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:05,380 Everything's filling in. 290 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,080 And it's just such a great space. 291 00:26:07,220 --> 00:26:07,900 Great place to be. 292 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Very cool. 293 00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:11,160 My wife came with me to the artisan fair. 294 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,160 I'm just excited. 295 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,180 She never comes to the meeting. 296 00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:13,820 So she's here. 297 00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:14,260 She's great. 298 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,680 Monica's always here. 299 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,580 But Aaron's here. 300 00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:18,880 So it's great. 301 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:19,940 So fun city. 302 00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:21,580 Summer's great. 303 00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:22,720 Hot day today. 304 00:26:22,940 --> 00:26:23,380 Wouldn't it, though? 305 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,520 90-something degrees. 306 00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:26,980 But we're keep pumping along. 307 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:28,140 And love being here. 308 00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:32,760 I love having you guys here and it's fun.
