54956.9(e)(2): number of

77
03:41:17,823 --> 03:41:21,227

81
03:41:24,063 --> 03:41:24,897
in litigation against the city

And there’s noticing to report

03:41:33,940 --> 03:41:35,775

Under public comments how many

93
03:41:38,778 --> 03:41:39,912
individuals do we have for

94
03:41:39,912 --> 03:41:40,913
public comments?

95
03:41:40,913 --> 03:41:41,847
>> the clerk: we currently

96
03:41:41,847 --> 03:41:43,683
have eight speaker cards.

03:41:44,350 --> 03:41:47,320

99
03:41:47,320 --> 03:41:49,589

102
03:41:52,525 --> 03:41:52,858
first speaker.

103
03:41:52,858 --> 03:41:55,394
>> the clerk: could we please

104
03:41:55,394 --> 03:41:58,998
have mark jordan followed by

105
03:41:58,998 --> 03:42:05,271
raquel herrera.

106
03:42:05,271 --> 03:42:08,507
>> good evening, city council.

107
03:42:08,507 --> 03:42:11,143
I come to speak to you tonight

108
03:42:11,143 --> 03:42:15,248
about code enforcement.

109
03:42:15,248 --> 03:42:18,718
Primarily, the lack of code

110
03:42:18,718 --> 03:42:20,419
enforcement.

111
03:42:20,419 --> 03:42:21,821
I have worked with code

112
03:42:21,821 --> 03:42:23,356
enforcement on a couple of

113
03:42:23,356 --> 03:42:24,824
different issues over the last

114
03:42:24,824 --> 03:42:25,658
few months.

115
03:42:25,658 --> 03:42:29,195
And I’m going to primarily talk

116
03:42:29,195 --> 03:42:32,164
about lion tree way adjacent to

117
03:42:32,164 --> 03:42:33,566
my office building.

118
03:42:33,566 --> 03:42:36,802
The gas station next door was

119
03:42:36,802 --> 03:42:38,738
allowing their property to

120
03:42:38,738 --> 03:42:40,573
deteriorate considerably.

121
03:42:40,573 --> 03:42:42,708
And code enforcement did address

122
03:42:42,708 --> 03:42:44,844
the issues initially.

123
03:42:44,844 --> 03:42:49,982
However, as I have couldn’ted c

124
03:42:49,982 --> 03:42:52,018
report issues, I have run into

125
03:42:52,018 --> 03:42:55,388
some feedback which I find

126
03:42:55,388 --> 03:42:55,955
unacceptable.

127
03:42:55,955 --> 03:43:00,426
I could go through all of the

128
03:43:00,426 --> 03:43:01,193
codes that are necessary to

129
03:43:01,193 --> 03:43:02,762
support my position but I’m not

130
03:43:02,762 --> 03:43:04,196
going to waste your time with

131
03:43:04,196 --> 03:43:04,997
that today.

132
03:43:04,997 --> 03:43:07,166
I’m just going to say it in

133
03:43:07,166 --> 03:43:10,469
plain english: covering exposed

134
03:43:10,469 --> 03:43:12,438
electrical with cardboard does

135
03:43:12,438 --> 03:43:17,843
not meet any code within the

136
03:43:17,843 --> 03:43:18,644
state of california.

137
03:43:18,644 --> 03:43:20,980
Installing electrical above

138
03:43:20,980 --> 03:43:23,015
ground in plastic does not meet

139
03:43:23,015 --> 03:43:25,418
any code within the state of

140
03:43:25,418 --> 03:43:25,718
california.

141
03:43:25,718 --> 03:43:29,422
On a commercial location.

142
03:43:29,422 --> 03:43:32,825
Having trash containers smell

143
03:43:32,825 --> 03:43:35,761
and remain uncovered, having

144
03:43:35,761 --> 03:43:36,729
debris about your property,

145
03:43:36,729 --> 03:43:40,700
having it unmaintained, is

146
03:43:40,700 --> 03:43:41,033
unacceptable.

147
03:43:41,033 --> 03:43:43,336
The property on the other side

148
03:43:43,336 --> 03:43:44,870
is rarely open.

149
03:43:44,870 --> 03:43:47,073
It’s a modular home sales

150
03:43:47,073 --> 03:43:47,373
office.

151
03:43:47,373 --> 03:43:50,843
They have decided that they can

152
03:43:50,843 --> 03:43:52,712
park a dump trailer on the

153
03:43:52,712 --> 03:43:52,979
property.

154
03:43:52,979 --> 03:43:54,580
They have a special use permit

155
03:43:54,580 --> 03:43:59,852
that was issued years ago by

156
03:43:59,852 --> 03:44:01,220
michelle before she left the

157
03:44:01,220 --> 03:44:01,420
city.

158
03:44:01,420 --> 03:44:03,689
There was no public hearing.

159
03:44:03,689 --> 03:44:05,391
There was no discussion, there

160
03:44:05,391 --> 03:44:07,894
was no notice, it just occurred

161
03:44:07,894 --> 03:44:10,897
after the rembolts sold the

162
03:44:10,897 --> 03:44:11,330
property.

163
03:44:11,330 --> 03:44:12,698
I have reported this several

164
03:44:12,698 --> 03:44:12,899
times.

165
03:44:12,899 --> 03:44:14,367
I have indicated to code

166
03:44:14,367 --> 03:44:15,534
enforcement that they have a

167
03:44:15,534 --> 03:44:16,502
special use permit.

168
03:44:16,502 --> 03:44:19,338
And that it does not include the

169
03:44:19,338 --> 03:44:21,707
storage of construction

170
03:44:21,707 --> 03:44:22,174
equipment.

171
03:44:22,174 --> 03:44:25,244
This has gone on for some time.

172
03:44:25,244 --> 03:44:27,446
These are just the examples that

173
03:44:27,446 --> 03:44:29,382
I have, that are next to my

174
03:44:29,382 --> 03:44:29,649
building.

175
03:44:29,649 --> 03:44:33,152
This is going on all over town.

176
03:44:33,152 --> 03:44:34,787
Code enforcement needs to

177
03:44:34,787 --> 03:44:39,825
understand that we can read the

178
03:44:39,825 --> 03:44:41,527
requirements of construction.

179
03:44:41,527 --> 03:44:43,696
We can read the municipal code.

180
03:44:43,696 --> 03:44:47,633
And we want them to act

181
03:44:47,633 --> 03:44:47,934
diligently.

182
03:44:47,934 --> 03:44:49,635
I understand that you have hired

183
03:44:49,635 --> 03:44:50,269
somebody new.

184
03:44:50,269 --> 03:44:52,138
I sent an e-mail saying I needed

185
03:44:52,138 --> 03:44:53,839
a report back by the 21st or I

186
03:44:53,839 --> 03:44:55,374
was going to come down here.

187
03:44:55,374 --> 03:44:58,678
I did not get a response of any

188
03:44:58,678 --> 03:44:59,078
kind.

189
03:44:59,078 --> 03:45:01,614
And that, too, is unacceptable.

190
03:45:01,614 --> 03:45:05,785
Please talk to your staff.

191
03:45:05,785 --> 03:45:06,519
Thank you.

192
03:45:06,519 --> 03:45:08,788
[applause]

193
03:45:08,788 --> 03:45:11,524
>> the clerk: raquel herrera

194
03:45:11,524 --> 03:45:15,661
foaled by joy mots and then

195
03:45:15,661 --> 03:45:17,830

right.

201
03:45:24,036 --> 03:45:27,406
>> efforts to preserve our local

202
03:45:27,406 --> 03:45:28,941
theater, good evening mayor and

203
03:45:28,941 --> 03:45:30,243
councilmembers, my name is

204
03:45:30,243 --> 03:45:32,078
raquel herrera and I’ve lived in

205
03:45:32,078 --> 03:45:33,312
antioch my entire life.

206
03:45:33,312 --> 03:45:35,781
My family’s history is deeply

207
03:45:35,781 --> 03:45:36,983
connected to the city.

208
03:45:36,983 --> 03:45:39,318
My father has owned and operated

209
03:45:39,318 --> 03:45:42,855
shoe stop the shoe repair

210
03:45:42,855 --> 03:45:50,696
business at summersville town

211
03:45:50,696 --> 03:45:51,664
center.

212
03:45:51,664 --> 03:45:53,099
Serve local families and keep

213
03:45:53,099 --> 03:45:54,300
something valuable alive through

214
03:45:54,300 --> 03:45:55,902
decades of change.

215
03:45:55,902 --> 03:45:58,771
My history with the arts began

216
03:45:58,771 --> 03:46:00,873
at the nick rodriguez community

217
03:46:00,873 --> 03:46:03,709
center where I joined the

218
03:46:03,709 --> 03:46:05,811
academy, by the time I was eight

219
03:46:05,811 --> 03:46:08,514
my two older sisters and I were

220
03:46:08,514 --> 03:46:12,018
performing at el campanile.

221
03:46:12,018 --> 03:46:15,021
One of my sisters have continued

222
03:46:15,021 --> 03:46:15,955
performing there for roughly the

223
03:46:15,955 --> 03:46:18,190
past decade.

224
03:46:18,190 --> 03:46:23,896
For many families, the nuk

225
03:46:23,896 --> 03:46:29,835
nutcracker and other perform

226
03:46:29,835 --> 03:46:31,370
performances, art education

227
03:46:31,370 --> 03:46:32,972
culture and shared experiences.

228
03:46:32,972 --> 03:46:35,374
I firmly believe we must give

229
03:46:35,374 --> 03:46:37,243
residents especially our younger

230
03:46:37,243 --> 03:46:38,611
generations reason to believe in

231
03:46:38,611 --> 03:46:39,111
antioch.

232
03:46:39,111 --> 03:46:40,212
Remain connected to it.

233
03:46:40,212 --> 03:46:42,381
And invest their talents here.

234
03:46:42,381 --> 03:46:45,651
Our city has a rich history.

235
03:46:45,651 --> 03:46:47,653
Antioch grew beside the san

236
03:46:47,653 --> 03:46:49,989
joaquin river and a visit to

237
03:46:49,989 --> 03:46:51,857
black diamond mines just two

238
03:46:51,857 --> 03:46:53,659
weeks ago daughter me how much

239
03:46:53,659 --> 03:46:55,661
history surrounds us.

240
03:46:55,661 --> 03:46:57,330
Our continued efforts to

241
03:46:57,330 --> 03:46:58,931
remember and preserve that

242
03:46:58,931 --> 03:47:00,967
history can build pride,

243
03:47:00,967 --> 03:47:03,336
encourage civic participation

244
03:47:03,336 --> 03:47:04,470
amount inspire people to support

245
03:47:04,470 --> 03:47:06,005
local businesses and care for

246
03:47:06,005 --> 03:47:06,672
their community.

247
03:47:06,672 --> 03:47:08,874
We do not have to look far to

248
03:47:08,874 --> 03:47:12,078
see what public investment can

249
03:47:12,078 --> 03:47:12,378
accomplish.

250
03:47:12,378 --> 03:47:13,846
Pittsburg preserved and

251
03:47:13,846 --> 03:47:15,948
renovated its california theater

252
03:47:15,948 --> 03:47:18,084
including additional restoration

253
03:47:18,084 --> 03:47:20,019
work in recent years.

254
03:47:20,019 --> 03:47:25,191
El campanile’s preservation

255
03:47:25,191 --> 03:47:26,392
dealt back 20 years.

256
03:47:26,392 --> 03:47:28,794
I believe its greatness or its

257
03:47:28,794 --> 03:47:30,763
greatest value to our community

258
03:47:30,763 --> 03:47:32,531
lies in remaining a fully

259
03:47:32,531 --> 03:47:34,467
functional arts venue.

260
03:47:34,467 --> 03:47:39,272
El campanile is one of the few

261
03:47:39,272 --> 03:47:42,108
historic coirlt space owes and

262
03:47:42,108 --> 03:47:44,777
remains accessible to everyone.

263
03:47:44,777 --> 03:47:48,114
I ask to create a public-private

264
03:47:48,114 --> 03:47:49,682
partnership to strengthen its

265
03:47:49,682 --> 03:47:51,083
role in our community.

266
03:47:51,083 --> 03:47:52,718
City involvement could protect

267
03:47:52,718 --> 03:47:54,787
public access, support local

268
03:47:54,787 --> 03:47:57,890
access and youth programs,

269
03:47:57,890 --> 03:48:02,628
attract visitors and make el

270
03:48:02,628 --> 03:48:06,532
campanile in rivertown’s

271
03:48:06,532 --> 03:48:07,400
requisition.

272
03:48:07,400 --> 03:48:08,534
Funding and community

273
03:48:08,534 --> 03:48:09,201
partnership before this

274
03:48:09,201 --> 03:48:10,970
opportunity is lost.

275
03:48:10,970 --> 03:48:15,174
El campanile is part of antioch

276
03:48:15,174 --> 03:48:17,643
and greater east bay history and

277
03:48:17,643 --> 03:48:19,312
I deserves to remains part of

278
03:48:19,312 --> 03:48:20,613
our history.

279
03:48:20,613 --> 03:48:20,880
Thank you.

280
03:48:20,880 --> 03:48:22,048

michael sobil.

284
03:48:34,360 --> 03:48:35,861
>> good evening, council.

285
03:48:35,861 --> 03:48:37,697
It has been common knowledge by

286
03:48:37,697 --> 03:48:39,532
the city for over a year that

287
03:48:39,532 --> 03:48:42,301
the el campanile theater was in

288
03:48:42,301 --> 03:48:44,770
a tire situation.

289
03:48:44,770 --> 03:48:45,938
Yet there were no conversations

290
03:48:45,938 --> 03:48:47,440
or efforts made by the stir

291
03:48:47,440 --> 03:48:51,377
until now to stop the unfolding

292
03:48:51,377 --> 03:48:53,412
tragedy for us losing this

293
03:48:53,412 --> 03:48:55,982
historic and iconic building for

294
03:48:55,982 --> 03:48:58,517
its purpose in bringing life

295
03:48:58,517 --> 03:49:00,987
entertainment, movies and

296
03:49:00,987 --> 03:49:03,289
theater, children’s recitals and

297
03:49:03,289 --> 03:49:06,259
more to the people of east

298
03:49:06,259 --> 03:49:06,492
county.

299
03:49:06,492 --> 03:49:07,760
It is difficult to do anything

300
03:49:07,760 --> 03:49:10,830
when forced with a $54 million

301
03:49:10,830 --> 03:49:12,164
budget deficit.

302
03:49:12,164 --> 03:49:14,200
But let’s be honest, there has

303
03:49:14,200 --> 03:49:18,337
not been any strategic plan to

304
03:49:18,337 --> 03:49:23,376
vitalize or store vibrancy or

305
03:49:23,376 --> 03:49:25,111
protect our buildings by a

306
03:49:25,111 --> 03:49:26,779
majority in decades.

307
03:49:26,779 --> 03:49:31,684
Even getting the river town

308
03:49:31,684 --> 03:49:35,054
marquee whereas a battle.

309
03:49:35,054 --> 03:49:37,657
People of antioch have worked

310
03:49:37,657 --> 03:49:39,191
and volunteered and raised money

311
03:49:39,191 --> 03:49:41,427
to try and make a difference to

312
03:49:41,427 --> 03:49:43,195
try and bring equity to the

313
03:49:43,195 --> 03:49:43,829
downtown.

314
03:49:43,829 --> 03:49:46,532
But the aa, individually owned

315
03:49:46,532 --> 03:49:47,967
businesses and investors and

316
03:49:47,967 --> 03:49:49,468
community groups are trying and

317
03:49:49,468 --> 03:49:51,904
begging for your support.

318
03:49:51,904 --> 03:49:54,774
Nonprofits like celebrate

319
03:49:54,774 --> 03:49:56,042
antioch foundation, we raise the

320
03:49:56,042 --> 03:49:57,977
money to pay for market lights

321
03:49:57,977 --> 03:49:59,412

322

market only to have you reduce

325
03:50:05,718 --> 03:50:08,454
our grant funds request when 85%

326
03:50:08,454 --> 03:50:10,623
of that money was going to help

327
03:50:10,623 --> 03:50:11,457
the farmers market.

328
03:50:11,457 --> 03:50:13,426
Just two weeks ago, over 900

329
03:50:13,426 --> 03:50:15,261
people asked you to take a

330
03:50:15,261 --> 03:50:19,465
chance on obtaining 8 million in

331
03:50:19,465 --> 03:50:22,602
state grant money on the beady

332
03:50:22,602 --> 03:50:25,071
parcel that might well have been

333
03:50:25,071 --> 03:50:30,643
a catalyst in supporting our

334
03:50:30,643 --> 03:50:31,477
downtown struggling businesses

335
03:50:31,477 --> 03:50:33,179
and restaurants and all of you

336
03:50:33,179 --> 03:50:35,615
said no except for council

337
03:50:35,615 --> 03:50:35,948
member rocha.

338
03:50:35,948 --> 03:50:37,149
Thank you louie.

339
03:50:37,149 --> 03:50:40,720
The loss of the el campanale

340
03:50:40,720 --> 03:50:41,954
theater will be a loss the

341
03:50:41,954 --> 03:50:43,556
downtown will never recover from

342
03:50:43,556 --> 03:50:44,824
around the people of antioch

343
03:50:44,824 --> 03:50:45,858
will never forget.

344
03:50:45,858 --> 03:50:48,060
We all know you must stabilize

345
03:50:48,060 --> 03:50:49,662
the city budgetary but you will

346
03:50:49,662 --> 03:50:51,264
never fight your way out of this

347
03:50:51,264 --> 03:50:53,065
economic hole by sitting on your

348
03:50:53,065 --> 03:50:53,299
hands.

349
03:50:53,299 --> 03:50:54,901
You’re going to have to find

350
03:50:54,901 --> 03:50:55,968
ways to create growth, you’re

351
03:50:55,968 --> 03:50:58,237
going to have to find ways to

352
03:50:58,237 --> 03:50:59,238
invest when opportunities arise.

353
03:50:59,238 --> 03:51:01,507
If you have been working on a

354
03:51:01,507 --> 03:51:06,512
plan to save the el campanale I

355
03:51:06,512 --> 03:51:09,348
hope you will execute your plan

356
03:51:09,348 --> 03:51:10,950
now, because the sale is in

357
03:51:10,950 --> 03:51:11,183
escrow.

358
03:51:11,183 --> 03:51:13,152
I pray you will do it now.

359
03:51:13,152 --> 03:51:14,787
Otherwise you need to let us

360
03:51:14,787 --> 03:51:16,722
know as soon as possible so we

361
03:51:16,722 --> 03:51:18,157
can once again bring a coalition

362
03:51:18,157 --> 03:51:19,625
of people together to try to

363
03:51:19,625 --> 03:51:21,694
save our historic theater in

364
03:51:21,694 --> 03:51:21,961
downtown.

365
03:51:21,961 --> 03:51:25,698

370
03:51:36,442 --> 03:51:37,209
>> good evening everyone, my

371
03:51:37,209 --> 03:51:40,913
name is denit rodriguez and I’m

372
03:51:40,913 --> 03:51:42,248
a lifetime resident of antioch.

373
03:51:42,248 --> 03:51:43,983
I want to explain to you how

374
03:51:43,983 --> 03:51:45,184
important the arts are to me and

375
03:51:45,184 --> 03:51:51,123
why I think the el campanale is

376
03:51:51,123 --> 03:51:55,194
such a vital part of my time

377
03:51:55,194 --> 03:51:55,394
here.

378
03:51:55,394 --> 03:51:56,829
Picture the warm glow of the

379
03:51:56,829 --> 03:52:00,333
theater lights on a crisp night

380
03:52:00,333 --> 03:52:02,635
out and think of house welcoming

381
03:52:02,635 --> 03:52:03,135
they are.

382
03:52:03,135 --> 03:52:04,637
One foot through those doors and

383
03:52:04,637 --> 03:52:07,139
you are immediately transported

384
03:52:07,139 --> 03:52:10,943
into what feels like a different

385
03:52:10,943 --> 03:52:11,244
time.

386
03:52:11,244 --> 03:52:12,845
There’s no space like it

387
03:52:12,845 --> 03:52:15,481
anywhere else in our city and in

388
03:52:15,481 --> 03:52:16,682
fact there are not many spaces

389
03:52:16,682 --> 03:52:20,987
like it at all that nourish the

390
03:52:20,987 --> 03:52:22,555
arts culture and our dploount.

391
03:52:22,555 --> 03:52:24,590
Forwards the entire summer, kids

392
03:52:24,590 --> 03:52:27,727
were not able to enjoy our water

393
03:52:27,727 --> 03:52:28,127
park.

394
03:52:28,127 --> 03:52:30,263
We don’t have a thriving ma’am

395
03:52:30,263 --> 03:52:35,101
and don’t get me started on the

396
03:52:35,101 --> 03:52:36,936
wringle theater.

397
03:52:36,936 --> 03:52:39,338
If this space was no longer

398
03:52:39,338 --> 03:52:41,941
available for the public to

399
03:52:41,941 --> 03:52:42,275
enjoy.

400
03:52:42,275 --> 03:52:44,443
Wonder why people leave to go

401
03:52:44,443 --> 03:52:46,479
spend their time and money in

402
03:52:46,479 --> 03:52:46,812
other spaces.

403
03:52:46,812 --> 03:52:48,714
We must invest in ourselves and

404
03:52:48,714 --> 03:52:50,716
in what makes our town so

405
03:52:50,716 --> 03:52:51,684
fortunate and unique.

406
03:52:51,684 --> 03:52:53,853
For as long as I can remember,

407
03:52:53,853 --> 03:52:55,688
there have been talks of

408
03:52:55,688 --> 03:52:56,589
revitalizing downtown.

409
03:52:56,589 --> 03:52:59,458
Here is yet another opportunity.

410
03:52:59,458 --> 03:53:01,527
We recently got a farmers market

411
03:53:01,527 --> 03:53:03,262
and it’s been really nice to see

412
03:53:03,262 --> 03:53:07,700
people here on the weekends.

413
03:53:07,700 --> 03:53:09,602
El campanile is a valuable

414
03:53:09,602 --> 03:53:11,337
asset, one of the places I love

415
03:53:11,337 --> 03:53:12,838
to show people when they come

416
03:53:12,838 --> 03:53:13,673
and visit.

417
03:53:13,673 --> 03:53:15,541
How many cities can brag about

418
03:53:15,541 --> 03:53:17,777
having an almost 100 year old

419
03:53:17,777 --> 03:53:19,545
institution like it?

420
03:53:19,545 --> 03:53:21,681
I implore you, city council, to

421
03:53:21,681 --> 03:53:23,516
find a way to preserve this

422
03:53:23,516 --> 03:53:25,318
landmark for generations to

423
03:53:25,318 --> 03:53:25,651
come.

424
03:53:25,651 --> 03:53:30,056
Ask yourself not if we can

425
03:53:30,056 --> 03:53:32,592
afford el campanile but if we

426
03:53:32,592 --> 03:53:35,061
can afford to lose it?

427
03:53:35,061 --> 03:53:36,429
Thank you.

428
03:53:36,429 --> 03:53:39,332
>> the clerk: michael sobel,

429
03:53:39,332 --> 03:53:43,736
aaron green and then crystal

430
03:53:43,736 --> 03:53:44,403
law.

431
03:53:44,403 --> 03:53:45,304
>> good evening, ladies and

432
03:53:45,304 --> 03:53:45,571
gentlemen.

433
03:53:45,571 --> 03:53:49,875
I’m here on behalf of the el

434
03:53:49,875 --> 03:53:51,177
campanale theater.

435
03:53:51,177 --> 03:53:52,979
Again I teal that this theater

436
03:53:52,979 --> 03:53:55,381
should be preserved.

437
03:53:55,381 --> 03:54:00,586
It should be capable of going on

438
03:54:00,586 --> 03:54:07,293
because I see it is generations

439
03:54:07,293 --> 03:54:08,594
of young people coming up

440
03:54:08,594 --> 03:54:10,329
through the years that wirm

441
03:54:10,329 --> 03:54:11,898
enjoy the arts and entertainment

442
03:54:11,898 --> 03:54:12,798
in this theater.

443
03:54:12,798 --> 03:54:15,434
I have a lot of memories in this

444
03:54:15,434 --> 03:54:15,835
theater.

445
03:54:15,835 --> 03:54:18,237
I have been an usher there for

446
03:54:18,237 --> 03:54:19,839
the last 17 years and I enjoyed

447
03:54:19,839 --> 03:54:20,539
it all.

448
03:54:20,539 --> 03:54:22,008
In fact three days ago I was

449
03:54:22,008 --> 03:54:25,678
there for the tribute to the

450
03:54:25,678 --> 03:54:27,146
paul mccartney tribute band

451
03:54:27,146 --> 03:54:29,549
and I thought that this was a

452
03:54:29,549 --> 03:54:32,018
great musical along with films,

453
03:54:32,018 --> 03:54:35,755
showing backgrounds of paul

454
03:54:35,755 --> 03:54:37,023
mccartney when he was a young

455
03:54:37,023 --> 03:54:37,557
man.

456
03:54:37,557 --> 03:54:39,025
And I thought this is the kind

457
03:54:39,025 --> 03:54:41,360
of thing that I not only myself

458
03:54:41,360 --> 03:54:44,363
but other people would enjoy

459
03:54:44,363 --> 03:54:46,465
watching and enjoying the music

460
03:54:46,465 --> 03:54:49,201
because paul mccartney was

461
03:54:49,201 --> 03:54:51,037
such a musical genius.

462
03:54:51,037 --> 03:54:53,039
And I was just really taken

463
03:54:53,039 --> 03:54:53,606
back.

464
03:54:53,606 --> 03:54:56,242
Personally, I would be sad and

465
03:54:56,242 --> 03:54:57,543
I’m sure everybody else in here

466
03:54:57,543 --> 03:54:59,579
would be sad to see this theater

467
03:54:59,579 --> 03:55:00,046
go.

468
03:55:00,046 --> 03:55:01,714
I really heap that you guys can

469
03:55:01,714 --> 03:55:04,116
figure out some way to save it,

470
03:55:04,116 --> 03:55:06,752
because if it goes, I feel it’s

471
03:55:06,752 --> 03:55:09,222
never going to come back.

472
03:55:09,222 --> 03:55:11,390
We know what happened to the

473
03:55:11,390 --> 03:55:12,225
stan theater.

474
03:55:12,225 --> 03:55:14,660
It was a theater at one time, a

475
03:55:14,660 --> 03:55:16,362
church took it over and it never

476
03:55:16,362 --> 03:55:17,029
came back.

477
03:55:17,029 --> 03:55:18,864
So I just kind of feel that way

478
03:55:18,864 --> 03:55:19,565
about this theater.

479
03:55:19,565 --> 03:55:21,801
So I just want to let you guys

480
03:55:21,801 --> 03:55:24,303
know how I feel and how other

481
03:55:24,303 --> 03:55:26,339
people feel to preserve this

482
03:55:26,339 --> 03:55:26,806
theater.

483
03:55:26,806 --> 03:55:29,442
Please, please, please, save the

484
03:55:29,442 --> 03:55:29,842
theater.

485
03:55:29,842 --> 03:55:32,878
Thank you.

486
03:55:32,878 --> 03:55:35,314
[applause]

487
03:55:35,314 --> 03:55:36,482
>> the clerk: erin green

may.

490
03:55:51,364 --> 03:55:52,565
>> okay, I actually came

491
03:55:52,565 --> 03:55:55,201
prepared this time.

492
03:55:55,201 --> 03:55:57,370
Hello, my name is erin green and

493
03:55:57,370 --> 03:55:59,972
I’m a local business owner here

494
03:55:59,972 --> 03:56:02,642
in downtown antioch.

495
03:56:02,642 --> 03:56:04,577
has had a lot of hits

496
03:56:04,577 --> 03:56:09,048
lately, and we all know it.

497
03:56:09,048 --> 03:56:11,951
But despite all the hits,

498
03:56:11,951 --> 03:56:15,121
there’s some of us that are very

499
03:56:15,121 --> 03:56:15,922
still optimistic and still

500
03:56:15,922 --> 03:56:17,390
believe in antioch.

501
03:56:17,390 --> 03:56:18,524
Myself included.

502
03:56:18,524 --> 03:56:21,827
Which is why I located my

503
03:56:21,827 --> 03:56:22,628
business in antioch.

504
03:56:22,628 --> 03:56:23,996
I went to pittsburg.

505
03:56:23,996 --> 03:56:26,966
I went to oakley I won’t to

506
03:56:26,966 --> 03:56:29,035
brentwood, and I still chose

507
03:56:29,035 --> 03:56:29,268
antioch.

508
03:56:29,268 --> 03:56:30,903
And the theater is a big part of

509
03:56:30,903 --> 03:56:32,338
that reason.

510
03:56:32,338 --> 03:56:34,340
Antioch has the opportunity to,

511
03:56:34,340 --> 03:56:36,742
in my opinion, be an arts and

512
03:56:36,742 --> 03:56:39,679
cultural hub of east county.

513
03:56:39,679 --> 03:56:41,480
And the theater is a big part of

514
03:56:41,480 --> 03:56:42,748
that.

515
03:56:42,748 --> 03:56:46,819
We’ve already lost the stan

516
03:56:46,819 --> 03:56:48,988
theater, we’ve lost the movie

517
03:56:48,988 --> 03:56:51,958
theater on lone tree.

518
03:56:51,958 --> 03:56:54,393
We’ve lost golf n games, so this

519
03:56:54,393 --> 03:56:56,295
means that increasingly our

520
03:56:56,295 --> 03:56:58,030
residents are going outside of

521
03:56:58,030 --> 03:56:59,565
our community for entertainment.

522
03:56:59,565 --> 03:57:01,267
And taking their dollars outside

523
03:57:01,267 --> 03:57:04,337
of our community.

524
03:57:04,337 --> 03:57:06,072
I know that the city council

525
03:57:06,072 --> 03:57:06,706
can’t necessarily get in the

526
03:57:06,706 --> 03:57:09,475
middle of a private sale.

527
03:57:09,475 --> 03:57:11,377
And you don’t have the power to

528
03:57:11,377 --> 03:57:11,978
stop anything.

529
03:57:11,978 --> 03:57:14,614
But you do have a great amount

530
03:57:14,614 --> 03:57:17,917
of influence.

531
03:57:17,917 --> 03:57:21,020
What you guys may not know is I

532
03:57:21,020 --> 03:57:22,588
actually used to work there so I

533
03:57:22,588 --> 03:57:23,723
love that building and I love

534
03:57:23,723 --> 03:57:26,325
the people in it and I know that

535
03:57:26,325 --> 03:57:26,592
building.

536
03:57:26,592 --> 03:57:28,427
And if the building could talk,

537
03:57:28,427 --> 03:57:30,329
it would say let me be a

538
03:57:30,329 --> 03:57:30,563
theater.

539
03:57:30,563 --> 03:57:39,405
That’s all I can be.

540
03:57:39,405 --> 03:57:41,240
It’s basically a giant box with

541
03:57:41,240 --> 03:57:43,542
a stage that performers come on

542
03:57:43,542 --> 03:57:46,245
and an auditorium for people to

543
03:57:46,245 --> 03:57:48,247
witness the performances.

544
03:57:48,247 --> 03:57:53,019
And there’s a handful of very, small offices along the

545
03:57:53,019 --> 03:57:56,789
front of the facade.

546
03:57:56,789 --> 03:58:02,929
So in terms of this potential

547
03:58:02,929 --> 03:58:04,363
congregation, there is no room

548
03:58:04,363 --> 03:58:06,766
for meeting spaces, there’s no

549
03:58:06,766 --> 03:58:07,833
classrooms, there’s no play

550
03:58:07,833 --> 03:58:09,802
room, there’s no kitchen and we

551
03:58:09,802 --> 03:58:11,037
know there’s no parking.

552
03:58:11,037 --> 03:58:13,239
We already know that.

553
03:58:13,239 --> 03:58:17,944
So placing this in the middle,

554
03:58:17,944 --> 03:58:19,679
smack dab in the middle of our

555
03:58:19,679 --> 03:58:20,746
commercial business district is

556
03:58:20,746 --> 03:58:25,718
not only a bad idea for antioch,

557
03:58:25,718 --> 03:58:27,853
it’s not really even a good fit

558
03:58:27,853 --> 03:58:29,388
for this congregation to be

559
03:58:29,388 --> 03:58:29,722
honest.

560
03:58:29,722 --> 03:58:31,824
So I’m asking the council to do

561
03:58:31,824 --> 03:58:35,361
whatever possible to save el

562
03:58:35,361 --> 03:58:36,195
campanale theater.

563
03:58:36,195 --> 03:58:37,296
Leave it accessible for the

564
03:58:37,296 --> 03:58:38,731
public, for the arts.

565
03:58:38,731 --> 03:58:40,666
And keep the arts in antioch.

566
03:58:40,666 --> 03:58:43,736
Thank you.

567
03:58:43,736 --> 03:58:48,107

03:58:48,107 --> 03:58:48,975

573
03:58:57,316 --> 03:58:59,285
First of all I want to thank

saw that go viral online.

579
03:59:16,002 --> 03:59:18,604
This went on for two years of an

580
03:59:18,604 --> 03:59:18,971
issue.

581
03:59:18,971 --> 03:59:21,440
He is now sending messages to

582
03:59:21,440 --> 03:59:24,110
people who went to support

583
03:59:24,110 --> 03:59:27,914
calling them chimps and monks by

584
03:59:27,914 --> 03:59:30,049
the ways.

585
03:59:30,049 --> 03:59:31,684
The message from the mayor was

586
03:59:31,684 --> 03:59:34,253
more about how backlash and

587
03:59:34,253 --> 03:59:35,388
intimidation and violence was

588
03:59:35,388 --> 03:59:36,355
addressed more than the fact

589
03:59:36,355 --> 03:59:37,924
that the man was a horrible

590
03:59:37,924 --> 03:59:39,792
neighbor and how he was

591
03:59:39,792 --> 03:59:41,427
disgusting with his words and

592
03:59:41,427 --> 03:59:42,995
how racism should not be

593
03:59:42,995 --> 03:59:43,396
allowed.

594
03:59:43,396 --> 03:59:45,431
Not to mention the fact that

595
03:59:45,431 --> 03:59:47,667
this was written by a pr person

596
03:59:47,667 --> 03:59:49,835
who is a black man.

597
03:59:49,835 --> 03:59:51,904
You should have wrote it

598
03:59:51,904 --> 03:59:52,171
yourself.

599
03:59:52,171 --> 03:59:53,306
That just shows me that you

600
03:59:53,306 --> 03:59:55,675
don’t care about the situation

601
03:59:55,675 --> 03:59:57,510
or the circumstances.

602
03:59:57,510 --> 03:59:59,979
I’m also disgusted that all that

603
03:59:59,979 --> 04:00:01,614
I’ve been hearing are things

604
04:00:01,614 --> 04:00:04,183
that you have inherited from the

605
04:00:04,183 --> 04:00:05,851
last city council, when you were

606
04:00:05,851 --> 04:00:09,822
city manager from 2017 to 2021.

607
04:00:09,822 --> 04:00:11,357
Make this make sense!

608
04:00:11,357 --> 04:00:14,694
Maybe some of the ways we can

609
04:00:14,694 --> 04:00:17,029
make more money is by having

610
04:00:17,029 --> 04:00:18,531
investors that are our friends

611
04:00:18,531 --> 04:00:20,766
pay some of the same permit fees

612
04:00:20,766 --> 04:00:23,903
and licensing fees that everyone

613
04:00:23,903 --> 04:00:26,105
else has to pay instead of

614
04:00:26,105 --> 04:00:27,306
letting them go without.

615
04:00:27,306 --> 04:00:28,941
Because I have done my homework

616
04:00:28,941 --> 04:00:30,509
and my research.

617
04:00:30,509 --> 04:00:32,144
I’ve also sent letters and proof

618
04:00:32,144 --> 04:00:34,347
to the do diswrmplet and contra

619
04:00:34,347 --> 04:00:39,685
costa county.

620
04:00:39,685 --> 04:00:40,486
>> the clerk: leslie may

621
04:00:40,486 --> 04:00:44,824
followed by nicole hall and then

622
04:00:44,824 --> 04:00:45,658
melissa.

623
04:00:45,658 --> 04:00:49,161
>> good evening, council, I’m

624
04:00:49,161 --> 04:00:50,763
the victim so I did attend, I

625
04:00:50,763 --> 04:00:53,532
have pictures, I’m going to file

626
04:00:53,532 --> 04:00:54,734
a report with the police

627
04:00:54,734 --> 04:00:56,202
department before I leave from

628
04:00:56,202 --> 04:00:57,436
here this evening.

629
04:00:57,436 --> 04:01:00,506
I did attend the event to

630
04:01:00,506 --> 04:01:02,541
support the young lady that was

631
04:01:02,541 --> 04:01:14,053
being attacked by her neighbor.

632
04:01:14,053 --> 04:01:15,454
Talked to many neighbors about

633
04:01:15,454 --> 04:01:16,689
what was going on.

634
04:01:16,689 --> 04:01:19,559
Out of all those 100 people

635
04:01:19,559 --> 04:01:21,994
someone saw I guess my picture

636
04:01:21,994 --> 04:01:24,630
online, when the perpetrator’s

637
04:01:24,630 --> 04:01:26,299
trends and decided to tell him

638
04:01:26,299 --> 04:01:27,934
to come after me.

639
04:01:27,934 --> 04:01:30,369
So he’s come after me.

640
04:01:30,369 --> 04:01:32,371
This is reported, I had to sit

641
04:01:32,371 --> 04:01:34,941
up half the night to report it

642
04:01:34,941 --> 04:01:39,445
to the fbi, cyber crimes also,

643
04:01:39,445 --> 04:01:40,646
this is another division that

644
04:01:40,646 --> 04:01:43,149
deals with racism and racial

645
04:01:43,149 --> 04:01:43,382
attacks.

646
04:01:43,382 --> 04:01:45,885
So I filed it with the fbi.

647
04:01:45,885 --> 04:01:48,421
They will be investigating,

648
04:01:48,421 --> 04:01:49,755
they’ll tiend out, which we know

649
04:01:49,755 --> 04:01:51,057
is the same man because they

650
04:01:51,057 --> 04:01:54,860
were able to pull up his private

651
04:01:54,860 --> 04:01:55,261
account.

652
04:01:55,261 --> 04:01:57,663
So they will be -- I’ll be

653
04:01:57,663 --> 04:01:59,165
filing charges against this same

654
04:01:59,165 --> 04:02:03,903
young man for intimidation as a

655
04:02:03,903 --> 04:02:07,540
senior, use a black, a woman, a

656
04:02:07,540 --> 04:02:09,842
senior citizen and a disabled

657
04:02:09,842 --> 04:02:10,276
person.

658
04:02:10,276 --> 04:02:12,478
So I’m going to be going after

659
04:02:12,478 --> 04:02:12,812
him.

660
04:02:12,812 --> 04:02:14,046
I’m pressing charges.

661
04:02:14,046 --> 04:02:15,982
But I also want anybody that’s

662
04:02:15,982 --> 04:02:18,951
listening to this, and anyone

663
04:02:18,951 --> 04:02:20,186
whose little friends you think

664
04:02:20,186 --> 04:02:21,654
you’re going to send after me

665
04:02:21,654 --> 04:02:23,723
and there was another man that

666
04:02:23,723 --> 04:02:25,157
attacked me online too, he’s

667
04:02:25,157 --> 04:02:26,359
been reported.

668
04:02:26,359 --> 04:02:28,060
They can’t get into my facebook

669
04:02:28,060 --> 04:02:30,196
so they send me messages on

670
04:02:30,196 --> 04:02:30,463
facebook.

671
04:02:30,463 --> 04:02:32,298
You can keep on, this is not

672
04:02:32,298 --> 04:02:34,200
going to bother me, at 74 years

673
04:02:34,200 --> 04:02:35,835
of age I live through the worst

674
04:02:35,835 --> 04:02:38,104
of it, over 60 years ago.

675
04:02:38,104 --> 04:02:39,405
When I was out there.

676
04:02:39,405 --> 04:02:41,407
So I’ve lived through the worst

677
04:02:41,407 --> 04:02:45,411
of the worst, the white only

678
04:02:45,411 --> 04:02:48,180
black only town tans, I’ve lived

679
04:02:48,180 --> 04:02:48,514
through that.

680
04:02:48,514 --> 04:02:51,751
This is not intimidating me.

681
04:02:51,751 --> 04:02:53,586
I just let the community know

682
04:02:53,586 --> 04:02:55,688
anyone that comes after me I’m

683
04:02:55,688 --> 04:02:58,791
using every inch of the law, the

684
04:02:58,791 --> 04:03:00,793
california doc, the federal doj,

685
04:03:00,793 --> 04:03:04,931
the fbi, and I will make a

686
04:03:04,931 --> 04:03:07,700
report, you got to make a report

687
04:03:07,700 --> 04:03:09,235
with antioch police department,

688
04:03:09,235 --> 04:03:09,969
I’m okay.

689
04:03:09,969 --> 04:03:12,071
I’m using every resource

690
04:03:12,071 --> 04:03:14,140
possibly to come after you and

691
04:03:14,140 --> 04:03:16,309
anybody who peampts in this kind

692
04:03:16,309 --> 04:03:18,678
of action I will prosecute you,

693
04:03:18,678 --> 04:03:21,147
I will walk you to the gates of

694
04:03:21,147 --> 04:03:21,347
hell.

695
04:03:21,347 --> 04:03:22,982
Leave black people alone.

696
04:03:22,982 --> 04:03:24,150
Leave me alone.

697
04:03:24,150 --> 04:03:25,451
If you don’t have anything nice

698
04:03:25,451 --> 04:03:28,221
to say, keep your mouth shut.

699
04:03:28,221 --> 04:03:30,122
But I’m not going to be

700
04:03:30,122 --> 04:03:31,757
intimidated and they know where

701
04:03:31,757 --> 04:03:32,058
I live.

702
04:03:32,058 --> 04:03:35,094
And all I say to them is, know

703
04:03:35,094 --> 04:03:37,129
where I live, you want to make

704
04:03:37,129 --> 04:03:38,464
thefts, step up.

705
04:03:38,464 --> 04:03:44,470
Please step up.

706
04:03:44,470 --> 04:03:47,039
[applause]

707
04:03:47,039 --> 04:03:49,075
>> the clerk: thy cole hall,

708
04:03:49,075 --> 04:04:05,057
followed by melissa and jose.

709
04:04:05,057 --> 04:04:07,894
>> good evening, I’m nicole

710
04:04:07,894 --> 04:04:09,896
hall, another lifelong resident

711
04:04:09,896 --> 04:04:11,063
of antioch.

712
04:04:11,063 --> 04:04:15,001
I grew up going to the stan

713
04:04:15,001 --> 04:04:17,670
theater, nick rodriguez

714
04:04:17,670 --> 04:04:18,771
community theater.

715
04:04:18,771 --> 04:04:22,875
I was devastated when the

716
04:04:22,875 --> 04:04:24,777
theater closed, historic theater

717
04:04:24,777 --> 04:04:26,779
is amazing.

718
04:04:26,779 --> 04:04:28,047
And this is going to be I think

719
04:04:28,047 --> 04:04:30,983
the third time that it will have

720
04:04:30,983 --> 04:04:33,019
been closed and possibly brought

721
04:04:33,019 --> 04:04:34,554
back to life for a third time.

722
04:04:34,554 --> 04:04:36,822
I remember the first time it

723
04:04:36,822 --> 04:04:39,025
closed down, I went to the movie

724
04:04:39,025 --> 04:04:40,993
screenings, it was a double

725
04:04:40,993 --> 04:04:41,294
feature.

726
04:04:41,294 --> 04:04:43,462
And it was sad to see it close.

727
04:04:43,462 --> 04:04:46,165
When it reopened with a

728
04:04:46,165 --> 04:04:49,068
community group who spent time,

729
04:04:49,068 --> 04:04:51,437
their own money, days off, going

730
04:04:51,437 --> 04:04:53,439
and refur beneficiarying it,

731
04:04:53,439 --> 04:04:54,674
painting, doing whatever work

732
04:04:54,674 --> 04:04:55,875
needed to be done to bring it

733
04:04:55,875 --> 04:04:58,144
back to life, I was thrilled.

734
04:04:58,144 --> 04:05:01,113
At that time I wasn’t able to

735
04:05:01,113 --> 04:05:04,483
engage or be involved.

736
04:05:04,483 --> 04:05:05,785
Third time around I’m going to

737
04:05:05,785 --> 04:05:07,987
try to be involved as much as I

738
04:05:07,987 --> 04:05:08,854
can.

739
04:05:08,854 --> 04:05:14,794
Within my limitation and my

740
04:05:14,794 --> 04:05:15,161
time.

741
04:05:15,161 --> 04:05:17,730
But I’ve always wanted to have a

742
04:05:17,730 --> 04:05:19,398
dance dude grow downtown.

743
04:05:19,398 --> 04:05:21,500
I’ve always wanted to host dance

744
04:05:21,500 --> 04:05:25,371
events at the el campanile or

745
04:05:25,371 --> 04:05:27,106
even the stan when it was

746
04:05:27,106 --> 04:05:27,673
around.

747
04:05:27,673 --> 04:05:30,876
My only option is the el

748
04:05:30,876 --> 04:05:32,979
campanale, I think it’s

749
04:05:32,979 --> 04:05:34,347
beautiful, major history and if

750
04:05:34,347 --> 04:05:35,448
people can bring it back to life

751
04:05:35,448 --> 04:05:37,283
as a theater that would be

752
04:05:37,283 --> 04:05:38,417
wonderful.

753
04:05:38,417 --> 04:05:41,387
I’m not against church,

754
04:05:41,387 --> 04:05:42,655
religion, worshipping, I’m all

755
04:05:42,655 --> 04:05:44,323
for it but I really think the

756
04:05:44,323 --> 04:05:46,292
arts could use a grand theater.

757
04:05:46,292 --> 04:05:48,995
We have the nick rodriguez

758
04:05:48,995 --> 04:05:51,664
community center which has a

759
04:05:51,664 --> 04:05:55,735
cute limb boutique theater, el

760
04:05:55,735 --> 04:05:58,037
campanale is a grand theater.

761
04:05:58,037 --> 04:06:03,309
I’d love to host dance events.

762
04:06:03,309 --> 04:06:05,578
Prior to covid I was a teacher,

763
04:06:05,578 --> 04:06:07,747
el campanale would be a great

764
04:06:07,747 --> 04:06:09,482
loss for the arts and the

765
04:06:09,482 --> 04:06:09,749
community.

766
04:06:09,749 --> 04:06:10,650
Thank you very much.

767
04:06:10,650 --> 04:06:14,987
[applause]

768
04:06:14,987 --> 04:06:16,022
>> the clerk: melissa followed

769
04:06:16,022 --> 04:06:23,062
by jose and margie corrall.

770
04:06:23,062 --> 04:06:24,330
>> okay, just want to say

771
04:06:24,330 --> 04:06:26,232
support all of you guys.

772
04:06:26,232 --> 04:06:28,034
But I went on everybody’s

773
04:06:28,034 --> 04:06:29,201
website because it’s campaign

774
04:06:29,201 --> 04:06:31,771
season and I went on your past

775
04:06:31,771 --> 04:06:35,441
websites too.

776
04:06:35,441 --> 04:06:36,809
So when you -- the people that

777
04:06:36,809 --> 04:06:39,278
ran in 2024, I specifically

778
04:06:39,278 --> 04:06:43,749
looked on the platform ron of

779
04:06:43,749 --> 04:06:45,251
your homelessness about

780
04:06:45,251 --> 04:06:46,452
incentivizing new housing

781
04:06:46,452 --> 04:06:49,755
solutions, connecting new

782
04:06:49,755 --> 04:06:52,124
residents with addiction job

783
04:06:52,124 --> 04:06:53,826
training, this all came from

784
04:06:53,826 --> 04:06:54,860
your website.

785
04:06:54,860 --> 04:06:58,331
And expanding partnerships with

786
04:06:58,331 --> 04:07:00,800
the county to pursue outside

787
04:07:00,800 --> 04:07:01,033
funding.

788
04:07:01,033 --> 04:07:03,302
And that’s what a lot of people

789
04:07:03,302 --> 04:07:04,770
myself included voted for, one

790
04:07:04,770 --> 04:07:07,306
of the reasons we voted for you.

791
04:07:07,306 --> 04:07:09,275
Yet we’ve lost another housing

792
04:07:09,275 --> 04:07:11,210
coordinator and I’m unsure if

793
04:07:11,210 --> 04:07:12,979
this position is now troazen or

794
04:07:12,979 --> 04:07:13,346
not.

795
04:07:13,346 --> 04:07:15,014
I was paying attention to the

796
04:07:15,014 --> 04:07:16,048
last meeting and I didn’t seize

797
04:07:16,048 --> 04:07:19,051
that it was frozen, I’m not

798
04:07:19,051 --> 04:07:19,252
sure.

799
04:07:19,252 --> 04:07:20,720
But I think we need a type of

800
04:07:20,720 --> 04:07:22,255
person since we lost the hotel,

801
04:07:22,255 --> 04:07:24,423
a type of person with good

802
04:07:24,423 --> 04:07:26,659
follow through, type a

803
04:07:26,659 --> 04:07:27,860
personality, high organizational

804
04:07:27,860 --> 04:07:29,262
skills to fill this position and

805
04:07:29,262 --> 04:07:30,029
make it effective.

806
04:07:30,029 --> 04:07:31,731
I feel like the last two people

807
04:07:31,731 --> 04:07:33,299
that were in that position were

808
04:07:33,299 --> 04:07:35,301
not effective.

809
04:07:35,301 --> 04:07:38,504
And at the recent meet and greet

810
04:07:38,504 --> 04:07:40,439
when I was at ron’s when I asked

811
04:07:40,439 --> 04:07:42,909
you about this you said you’re

812
04:07:42,909 --> 04:07:44,810
continuing to implement the

813
04:07:44,810 --> 04:07:45,811
previous council’s plan.

814
04:07:45,811 --> 04:07:47,914
And I understand the value of

815
04:07:47,914 --> 04:07:49,749
that because it’s continuity of

816
04:07:49,749 --> 04:07:51,350
continuing what’s working.

817
04:07:51,350 --> 04:07:52,919
But that answer doesn’t quite

818
04:07:52,919 --> 04:07:55,087
match the campaign that you ran

819
04:07:55,087 --> 04:07:56,722
on, continuing what’s already in

820
04:07:56,722 --> 04:08:00,226
motion is not leading a new,

821
04:08:00,226 --> 04:08:01,661
more collaborative service

822
04:08:01,661 --> 04:08:02,461
connected approach, which is

823
04:08:02,461 --> 04:08:03,896
what you campaigned on.

824
04:08:03,896 --> 04:08:05,765
They’re not the same thing and I

825
04:08:05,765 --> 04:08:06,632
notice the difference.

826
04:08:06,632 --> 04:08:09,001
And what I’m asking for isn’t a

827
04:08:09,001 --> 04:08:10,836
reversal of anything it’s just

828
04:08:10,836 --> 04:08:12,872
follow through on what we’ve

829
04:08:12,872 --> 04:08:13,139
promised.

830
04:08:13,139 --> 04:08:15,341
And I’d like to see the whole

831
04:08:15,341 --> 04:08:16,776
counsel activity take a lead on

832
04:08:16,776 --> 04:08:17,877
this rather than just manage

833
04:08:17,877 --> 04:08:19,178
what’s already on the books and

834
04:08:19,178 --> 04:08:20,813
I’d like city staff to

835
04:08:20,813 --> 04:08:21,948
communicate clearly and

836
04:08:21,948 --> 04:08:22,915
regularly with specific steps

837
04:08:22,915 --> 04:08:25,551
that council is taking towards

838
04:08:25,551 --> 04:08:27,753
goals people have campaigned on.

839
04:08:27,753 --> 04:08:29,822
The partnerships, the outside

840
04:08:29,822 --> 04:08:31,424
funding pursued, the service

841
04:08:31,424 --> 04:08:33,059
connections that are made and

842
04:08:33,059 --> 04:08:34,860
right now residents don’t have

843
04:08:34,860 --> 04:08:36,762
any visibility into that.

844
04:08:36,762 --> 04:08:38,464
And without that it’s hard to

845
04:08:38,464 --> 04:08:39,532
tell the difference between what

846
04:08:39,532 --> 04:08:41,500
we are progressing on and what

847
04:08:41,500 --> 04:08:44,470
is business as usual.

848
04:08:44,470 --> 04:08:47,506
Rocha, I went on yours, your

849
04:08:47,506 --> 04:08:49,075
campaign website said you would

850
04:08:49,075 --> 04:08:50,810
provide resources to unhoused

851
04:08:50,810 --> 04:08:51,510
community.

852
04:08:51,510 --> 04:08:53,145
I’d like to know what you’ve

853
04:08:53,145 --> 04:08:55,748
done to move that forward,

854
04:08:55,748 --> 04:08:56,716
beyond voting for things that

855
04:08:56,716 --> 04:08:58,084
the city already had in motion

856
04:08:58,084 --> 04:09:00,887
before you got to that seat.

857
04:09:00,887 --> 04:09:03,155
And marathon freitas, you did

858
04:09:03,155 --> 04:09:04,924
say you talked about expanding

859
04:09:04,924 --> 04:09:07,760
code enforcement to protect

860
04:09:07,760 --> 04:09:08,961
public health, property values

861
04:09:08,961 --> 04:09:11,297
and all welfare of the city.

862
04:09:11,297 --> 04:09:13,733
Code enforcement an harmlessness

863
04:09:13,733 --> 04:09:17,103
are tied to directly in the

864
04:09:17,103 --> 04:09:18,838
city, I’m running out of time

865
04:09:18,838 --> 04:09:21,207
but I’d like to seize future

866
04:09:21,207 --> 04:09:22,742
candidates put together some new

867
04:09:22,742 --> 04:09:26,646
ideas for economic development.

868
04:09:26,646 --> 04:09:29,815
[applause]

869
04:09:29,815 --> 04:09:32,285
>> the clerk: jose foaled by

870
04:09:32,285 --> 04:09:41,827
margie and ron.

871
04:09:41,827 --> 04:09:43,863
>> all right, thank you bro.

872
04:09:43,863 --> 04:09:46,098
Good evening council and antioch

873
04:09:46,098 --> 04:09:46,365
community.

874
04:09:46,365 --> 04:09:50,102
My name is jose cordone, I’m a

875
04:09:50,102 --> 04:09:51,804
local poet and resident of

876
04:09:51,804 --> 04:09:52,038
antioch.

877
04:09:52,038 --> 04:09:54,440
I’d like to share a few things.

878
04:09:54,440 --> 04:09:56,475
Number 1 I’d like to shout out

879
04:09:56,475 --> 04:09:58,544
the rec department, y’all are

880
04:09:58,544 --> 04:10:04,250
doing a great job, second, our

881
04:10:04,250 --> 04:10:05,651
youth arts workshop will be back

882
04:10:05,651 --> 04:10:07,353
in session the week of september

883
04:10:07,353 --> 04:10:07,753
8th.

884
04:10:07,753 --> 04:10:10,056
We are servicing both districts

885
04:10:10,056 --> 04:10:12,692
3 and district 5 in antioch.

886
04:10:12,692 --> 04:10:15,628
And until the library reopens,

887
04:10:15,628 --> 04:10:19,065
antioch library reopens we’ll be

888
04:10:19,065 --> 04:10:20,066
at antioch high school on

889
04:10:20,066 --> 04:10:22,435
tuesdays and at the prewett

890
04:10:22,435 --> 04:10:25,371
library on thursdays, from 4 to

891
04:10:25,371 --> 04:10:27,373
6 p.m, completely tree for youth

892
04:10:27,373 --> 04:10:28,741
ages 12 through 18.

893
04:10:28,741 --> 04:10:30,910
Each week, the youth, the

894
04:10:30,910 --> 04:10:32,945
students will receive free food.

895
04:10:32,945 --> 04:10:35,014
Opportunities to win gift cards.

896
04:10:35,014 --> 04:10:37,650
And we’ll learn and engage in

897
04:10:37,650 --> 04:10:38,551
creative activities.

898
04:10:38,551 --> 04:10:41,721
My third and fourth points are

899
04:10:41,721 --> 04:10:41,988
connected.

900
04:10:41,988 --> 04:10:43,456
There’s a lot of talk of the

901
04:10:43,456 --> 04:10:45,992
downtown being a dead zone, and

902
04:10:45,992 --> 04:10:48,194
at times it’s difficult to make

903
04:10:48,194 --> 04:10:50,863
a strong argument against that.

904
04:10:50,863 --> 04:10:52,832
With that said I will say that

905
04:10:52,832 --> 04:10:55,635
my girlfriend and I spent the

906
04:10:55,635 --> 04:10:57,803
full day out here on saturday

907
04:10:57,803 --> 04:11:03,809
there 9:30 a.m. To 9 p.m.

908
04:11:03,809 --> 04:11:07,446
We started at the marina, went

909
04:11:07,446 --> 04:11:12,151
kayaking in the delta and dinner

910
04:11:12,151 --> 04:11:14,954
at the four seasons stake house.

911
04:11:14,954 --> 04:11:16,322
The crowds were amazingly

912
04:11:16,322 --> 04:11:19,592
diverse and it made me proud of

913
04:11:19,592 --> 04:11:19,859
rivertown.

914
04:11:19,859 --> 04:11:21,928
We did not make it to the show

915
04:11:21,928 --> 04:11:25,765
at el campanile but I have

916
04:11:25,765 --> 04:11:28,167
hosted and held two free events

917
04:11:28,167 --> 04:11:28,601
there.

918
04:11:28,601 --> 04:11:30,436
I am planning on attending a

919
04:11:30,436 --> 04:11:32,305
show there again soon and with

920
04:11:32,305 --> 04:11:34,206
that said I would also like to

921
04:11:34,206 --> 04:11:36,275
express my hope that the council

922
04:11:36,275 --> 04:11:37,743
would do everything in their

923
04:11:37,743 --> 04:11:40,546
power to help preserve the

924
04:11:40,546 --> 04:11:42,615
historic theater of gathering

925
04:11:42,615 --> 04:11:43,282
and community entertainment.

926
04:11:43,282 --> 04:11:45,351
There is a lot more that I can

927
04:11:45,351 --> 04:11:48,888
share for this topic, but I’ll

928
04:11:48,888 --> 04:11:50,923
save it for another meeting just

929
04:11:50,923 --> 04:11:53,826
for sake of time and I will be

930
04:11:53,826 --> 04:11:55,361
sharing more about the events

931
04:11:55,361 --> 04:11:59,131
coming up during the events

932
04:11:59,131 --> 04:11:59,732
moderations portion, thank you

933
04:11:59,732 --> 04:12:03,402
very much.

934
04:12:03,402 --> 04:12:06,572
>> the clerk: margie corrall

935
04:12:06,572 --> 04:12:13,746
followed by ron.

936
04:12:13,746 --> 04:12:17,650
>> my naming is margie carol and

937
04:12:17,650 --> 04:12:19,886
I just want to clear something

938
04:12:19,886 --> 04:12:21,854
up about what you guys are

939
04:12:21,854 --> 04:12:25,124
saying the mayor inherited a

940
04:12:25,124 --> 04:12:25,324
miss.

941
04:12:25,324 --> 04:12:26,626
The mayor and city council did

942
04:12:26,626 --> 04:12:28,094
not leave antioch without a

943
04:12:28,094 --> 04:12:28,494
plan.

944
04:12:28,494 --> 04:12:30,162
They spent years building

945
04:12:30,162 --> 04:12:31,597
programs, partnerships, securing

946
04:12:31,597 --> 04:12:34,100
funding to address homelessness.

947
04:12:34,100 --> 04:12:35,801
Whether you agreed with every

948
04:12:35,801 --> 04:12:37,236
decision these were some of the

949
04:12:37,236 --> 04:12:38,905
issues that were already

950
04:12:38,905 --> 04:12:39,171
underway.

951
04:12:39,171 --> 04:12:44,977
Established the homeless

952
04:12:44,977 --> 04:12:46,746
encampment task force, to

953
04:12:46,746 --> 04:12:48,514
address the impact of

954
04:12:48,514 --> 04:12:49,181
homelessness instead of waiting

955
04:12:49,181 --> 04:12:51,117
for the county to act.

956
04:12:51,117 --> 04:12:54,854

the rest of the council.

1011
04:15:08,955 --> 04:15:10,856
My name is ron mohammed.

1012
04:15:10,856 --> 04:15:16,329
I came here tonight because of

1013
04:15:16,329 --> 04:15:17,897
wanting to be perfectly clear, I

1014
04:15:17,897 --> 04:15:20,433
haven’t said anything or any of

1015
04:15:20,433 --> 04:15:22,068
the other brothers that attended

1016
04:15:22,068 --> 04:15:25,538
over there with sister ethel at

1017
04:15:25,538 --> 04:15:26,672
our property, where this

1018
04:15:26,672 --> 04:15:29,375
incident that has gone viral all

1019
04:15:29,375 --> 04:15:32,011
over the country happened.

1020
04:15:32,011 --> 04:15:38,618
This was not an instantaneous

1021
04:15:38,618 --> 04:15:39,752
thing, this is a thing that

1022
04:15:39,752 --> 04:15:41,087
happened over a period of

1023
04:15:41,087 --> 04:15:41,387
months.

1024
04:15:41,387 --> 04:15:45,825
So just to give you a superbrief

1025
04:15:45,825 --> 04:15:47,560
synopsis, ethel, single parent,

1026
04:15:47,560 --> 04:15:52,798
divorced parent, has a child who

1027
04:15:52,798 --> 04:15:56,969
is disabled, immune system is

1028
04:15:56,969 --> 04:15:58,070
supercompromised, she works in

1029
04:15:58,070 --> 04:16:00,973
the east bay.

1030
04:16:00,973 --> 04:16:03,109
And she is having a situation

1031
04:16:03,109 --> 04:16:06,412
with her next door neighbor who

1032
04:16:06,412 --> 04:16:08,547
has entirely too many cats.

1033
04:16:08,547 --> 04:16:10,149
They can call them neighborhood

1034
04:16:10,149 --> 04:16:12,018
cats or whatever but they reside

1035
04:16:12,018 --> 04:16:13,085
in that house.

1036
04:16:13,085 --> 04:16:14,921
Those cats are using the

1037
04:16:14,921 --> 04:16:18,658
restroom all over the entire

1038
04:16:18,658 --> 04:16:19,458
neighborhood.

1039
04:16:19,458 --> 04:16:21,827
And they’re compromising her

1040
04:16:21,827 --> 04:16:23,162
son’s immune system.

1041
04:16:23,162 --> 04:16:26,399
The son is wheelchair bound.

1042
04:16:26,399 --> 04:16:30,937
So when she spoke to them out of

1043
04:16:30,937 --> 04:16:32,905
a deliberate dialogue, that was

1044
04:16:32,905 --> 04:16:35,641
very respectful, the young man

1045
04:16:35,641 --> 04:16:38,978
kept going on the tirades and

1046
04:16:38,978 --> 04:16:41,547
this has been happening month

1047
04:16:41,547 --> 04:16:42,815
aafter mow after month to the

1048
04:16:42,815 --> 04:16:45,017
point that he is being so

1049
04:16:45,017 --> 04:16:48,254
disrespectful to the point where

1050
04:16:48,254 --> 04:16:48,621
it’s impactful.

1051
04:16:48,621 --> 04:16:49,989
All around the country people

1052
04:16:49,989 --> 04:16:51,791
are calling in, man, what the

1053
04:16:51,791 --> 04:16:53,292
hell is going on.

1054
04:16:53,292 --> 04:16:56,128
So I’m a shareholder here.

1055
04:16:56,128 --> 04:16:58,898
A resident is a resident but I

1056
04:16:58,898 --> 04:17:00,866
am a homeowner by the grace of

1057
04:17:00,866 --> 04:17:01,033
god.

1058
04:17:01,033 --> 04:17:06,339
This hoa needs to be demolished.

1059
04:17:06,339 --> 04:17:08,241
For them not taking action and

1060
04:17:08,241 --> 04:17:09,542
then them allowing the city to

1061
04:17:09,542 --> 04:17:11,043
take the brunt for not taking

1062
04:17:11,043 --> 04:17:12,078
this on.

1063
04:17:12,078 --> 04:17:13,846
The hoa should have handled this

1064
04:17:13,846 --> 04:17:15,114
from the beginning.

1065
04:17:15,114 --> 04:17:17,016
Those cats are running and

1066
04:17:17,016 --> 04:17:18,851
jumping from house to house over

1067
04:17:18,851 --> 04:17:21,053
the roofs and they’re using the

1068
04:17:21,053 --> 04:17:22,221
restroom all over.

1069
04:17:22,221 --> 04:17:24,824
She’s redone her backyard two or

1070
04:17:24,824 --> 04:17:25,391
30 times.

1071
04:17:25,391 --> 04:17:27,260
So cre we did go over there to

1072
04:17:27,260 --> 04:17:28,427
support her.

1073
04:17:28,427 --> 04:17:29,929
Never said nothing to the young

1074
04:17:29,929 --> 04:17:32,965
fellow or his mother, never even

1075
04:17:32,965 --> 04:17:35,201
looked at them, never pointed

1076
04:17:35,201 --> 04:17:38,905
their way, it is all about her,

1077
04:17:38,905 --> 04:17:40,640
they happened to be living next

1078
04:17:40,640 --> 04:17:43,609
to each other.

1079
04:17:43,609 --> 04:17:45,044
Beautiful diverse block, he has

1080
04:17:45,044 --> 04:17:47,446
been terrorizing these people,

1081
04:17:47,446 --> 04:17:48,648
seniors all up and down the

1082
04:17:48,648 --> 04:17:50,550
block and the hoa hasn’t done

1083
04:17:50,550 --> 04:17:50,816
anything.

1084
04:17:50,816 --> 04:17:53,786
So I’m not a big government kind

1085
04:17:53,786 --> 04:17:56,355
of fellow, and certain things

1086
04:17:56,355 --> 04:17:58,224
don’t need to be said, they just

1087
04:17:58,224 --> 04:17:58,958
need to be understood.

1088
04:17:58,958 --> 04:18:01,494
You can’t do that young ladylike

1089
04:18:01,494 --> 04:18:01,928
that.

1090
04:18:01,928 --> 04:18:03,729
I’ve been knowing her, I knew

1091
04:18:03,729 --> 04:18:05,364
her mother and her grandmother.

1092
04:18:05,364 --> 04:18:07,400
I didn’t even know that she was

1093
04:18:07,400 --> 04:18:08,301
their child.

1094
04:18:08,301 --> 04:18:12,138
It’s just wrong, and right is

1095
04:18:12,138 --> 04:18:12,338
right.

1096
04:18:12,338 --> 04:18:14,140
So I would hope that you guys

1097
04:18:14,140 --> 04:18:17,777
would take some kind of action.

1098
04:18:17,777 --> 04:18:19,645
[applause]

1099
04:18:19,645 --> 04:18:33,960
>> the clerk: johnny.

1100
04:18:33,960 --> 04:18:35,461
>> I’m not going to speak about

1101
04:18:35,461 --> 04:18:36,796
the closed session today but I

1102
04:18:36,796 --> 04:18:38,531
want to talk about the procedure

1103
04:18:38,531 --> 04:18:40,299
that you guys used.

1104
04:18:40,299 --> 04:18:41,934
Now ron you’re pretty good with

04:18:41,934 --> 04:18:43,869

1106
04:18:43,869 --> 04:18:49,775

knife

1108
04:18:55,548 --> 04:18:57,583
54957-6 and the fair employment

1109
04:18:57,583 --> 04:18:59,952
act, now the city went into

1110
04:18:59,952 --> 04:19:01,854
closed session tonight facing

1111
04:19:01,854 --> 04:19:05,591
nine lawsuits, possibly dealing

1112
04:19:05,591 --> 04:19:08,895
with somebody being fired, ore

1113
04:19:08,895 --> 04:19:12,632
something to do with the fair

1114
04:19:12,632 --> 04:19:13,566
employment act, so nine people

1115
04:19:13,566 --> 04:19:15,534
are suing us or there’s nine

1116
04:19:15,534 --> 04:19:19,305
separate acts.

1117
04:19:19,305 --> 04:19:19,538
Okay.

1118
04:19:19,538 --> 04:19:21,407
So who do I guys send in there

1119
04:19:21,407 --> 04:19:22,675
to negotiate with the lawyers?

1120
04:19:22,675 --> 04:19:28,347
You send in ana, ana was the

1121
04:19:28,347 --> 04:19:30,416
head of human resources when

1122
04:19:30,416 --> 04:19:32,018
this all happened.

1123
04:19:32,018 --> 04:19:34,220
Ana is going to go into the

1124
04:19:34,220 --> 04:19:36,322
closed session and what is she

1125
04:19:36,322 --> 04:19:37,023
going to say?

1126
04:19:37,023 --> 04:19:39,992
I know you can’t tell us but I

1127
04:19:39,992 --> 04:19:41,294
did something wrong let’s pay

1128
04:19:41,294 --> 04:19:41,527
them.

1129
04:19:41,527 --> 04:19:43,496
So I know you guys don’t

1130
04:19:43,496 --> 04:19:44,597
understand the brown act at all,

1131
04:19:44,597 --> 04:19:49,268
most of you.

1132
04:19:49,268 --> 04:19:51,537
But this is a conthricts of

1133
04:19:51,537 --> 04:19:52,572
interest, okay?

1134
04:19:52,572 --> 04:19:54,507
Why is she going and

1135
04:19:54,507 --> 04:19:55,474
negotiating, telling the lawyers

1136
04:19:55,474 --> 04:19:57,777
how to settle a case, when she

1137
04:19:57,777 --> 04:20:00,379
fired somebody?

1138
04:20:00,379 --> 04:20:02,315
Or bessie told her to fire

1139
04:20:02,315 --> 04:20:04,183
somebody or who knows what

1140
04:20:04,183 --> 04:20:04,450
happened?

1141
04:20:04,450 --> 04:20:10,323
You guys won’t even tell us.

1142
04:20:10,323 --> 04:20:15,728
So there was significant

1143
04:20:15,728 --> 04:20:16,395
exposure to litigation pursuant

1144
04:20:16,395 --> 04:20:17,730
to the government code.

1145
04:20:17,730 --> 04:20:20,600
The city is under reseat of

1146
04:20:20,600 --> 04:20:22,268
information that might result in

1147
04:20:22,268 --> 04:20:23,536
litigation against the city

1148
04:20:23,536 --> 04:20:25,371
which are known to a potential

1149
04:20:25,371 --> 04:20:28,407
plaintiff or plaintiffs.

1150
04:20:28,407 --> 04:20:32,178
So nine people are suing us.

1151
04:20:32,178 --> 04:20:35,615
Probably because of what bessie

1152
04:20:35,615 --> 04:20:37,717
told ana to do and instead of

1153
04:20:37,717 --> 04:20:39,585
recusing herself she goes in

1154
04:20:39,585 --> 04:20:41,053
there and negotiates with the

1155
04:20:41,053 --> 04:20:41,287
lawyer.

1156
04:20:41,287 --> 04:20:42,955
Who are we going to sue, who are

1157
04:20:42,955 --> 04:20:45,091
we going to pay, are we going to

1158
04:20:45,091 --> 04:20:47,793
settle this case?

1159
04:20:47,793 --> 04:20:51,831
So what when is this going to s

1160
04:20:51,831 --> 04:20:54,800
when is it going to stop?

1161
04:20:54,800 --> 04:20:57,203
I told you guys not to hire

1162
04:20:57,203 --> 04:20:57,436
bessie.

1163
04:20:57,436 --> 04:21:00,806
You hired her anyway.

1164
04:21:00,806 --> 04:21:02,808
What is the first thing she do

1165
04:21:02,808 --> 04:21:04,677
when she got here?

1166
04:21:04,677 --> 04:21:06,512
She hired brad as her assistant

1167
04:21:06,512 --> 04:21:08,581
city manager, someone to go to

1168
04:21:08,581 --> 04:21:12,118

six figures right?

1172
04:21:16,622 --> 04:21:18,324
What is his experience?

1173
04:21:18,324 --> 04:21:21,027
Then they promoted brad, we’re

1174
04:21:21,027 --> 04:21:22,695
going to talk about that later

1175
04:21:22,695 --> 04:21:23,796
in the consent calendar.

1176
04:21:23,796 --> 04:21:26,165
Why was brad even promoted, no

1177
04:21:26,165 --> 04:21:27,433
experience, no experience with

1178
04:21:27,433 --> 04:21:28,067
computers.

1179
04:21:28,067 --> 04:21:32,271

The first week was a little more

04:24:21,774 --> 04:24:23,809
than warm, it got a little hot

1258
04:24:23,809 --> 04:24:25,778

Council member rocha.

1267
04:24:34,620 --> 04:24:35,388
>> council member rocha: I

1268
04:24:35,388 --> 04:24:38,558
just wanted to acknowledge code

1269
04:24:38,558 --> 04:24:40,426
enforcement manager joe, yost

1270
04:24:40,426 --> 04:24:42,161
hef losado.

1271
04:24:42,161 --> 04:24:46,399
You hit the ground running.

1272
04:24:46,399 --> 04:24:47,767
I’ve been communicating with

1273
04:24:47,767 --> 04:24:48,868
code enforcement about the san

1274
04:24:48,868 --> 04:24:51,304
jose drive, delta fair and the

1275
04:24:51,304 --> 04:24:52,605
two properties, the boat store

1276
04:24:52,605 --> 04:24:56,809
and also the tire company.

1277
04:24:56,809 --> 04:24:59,078
And immediately I saw a

1278
04:24:59,078 --> 04:25:00,413
difference with those two

1279
04:25:00,413 --> 04:25:01,347
properties being cleaned up.

1280
04:25:01,347 --> 04:25:07,286
And so I called to acquire inqu

1281
04:25:07,286 --> 04:25:08,321
happened, because we were trying

1282
04:25:08,321 --> 04:25:10,489
to get those areas addressed for

1283
04:25:10,489 --> 04:25:10,756
some time.

1284
04:25:10,756 --> 04:25:12,892
And what I learned was that you

1285
04:25:12,892 --> 04:25:14,660
apparently took it upon yourself

1286
04:25:14,660 --> 04:25:16,862
to make contact directly with

1287
04:25:16,862 --> 04:25:19,765
the property owners, of the two

1288
04:25:19,765 --> 04:25:21,334
locations and it may be the same

1289
04:25:21,334 --> 04:25:23,369
owner and from your conversation

1290
04:25:23,369 --> 04:25:24,770
from your action you were able

1291
04:25:24,770 --> 04:25:27,873
to get the property owner to

1292
04:25:27,873 --> 04:25:29,342
step up and participate in

1293
04:25:29,342 --> 04:25:30,176
getting those promulgates

1294
04:25:30,176 --> 04:25:30,610
cleaned up.

1295
04:25:30,610 --> 04:25:32,812
So I just want to give a shout

1296
04:25:32,812 --> 04:25:35,047
out to you for being a new

1297
04:25:35,047 --> 04:25:37,216

04:25:39,485 --> 04:25:40,219
significant difference right

1300
04:25:40,219 --> 04:25:40,720
away.

1301
04:25:40,720 --> 04:25:42,488
We have a lot of work to do in

1302
04:25:42,488 --> 04:25:44,657

05:06:09,849 --> 05:06:11,450
community and other communities

2085
05:06:11,450 --> 05:06:12,018
of color.

2086
05:06:12,018 --> 05:06:14,487
This time the violations were

2087
05:06:14,487 --> 05:06:16,188
not city departments but

2088
05:06:16,188 --> 05:06:21,694
neighbor to neighbor verbal

2089
05:06:21,694 --> 05:06:23,496
violence, physical assaults, and

2090
05:06:23,496 --> 05:06:25,565
intimidation that has gone

2091
05:06:25,565 --> 05:06:27,033
unchecked in the neighborhood

2092
05:06:27,033 --> 05:06:30,536
for more than a year.

2093
05:06:30,536 --> 05:06:33,606
Last monday I was invited to

2094
05:06:33,606 --> 05:06:39,946
meet ethel by brother mohammed

2095
05:06:39,946 --> 05:06:42,181
to come to her home because a

2096
05:06:42,181 --> 05:06:44,250
group of men had to show up to

2097
05:06:44,250 --> 05:06:46,786
check her property and house and

2098
05:06:46,786 --> 05:06:47,920
that she was safe.

2099
05:06:47,920 --> 05:06:50,590
I got an opportunity to talk

2100
05:06:50,590 --> 05:06:53,793
with ethel and hug her and it

2101
05:06:53,793 --> 05:06:57,029
felt similar to the same hug I

2102
05:06:57,029 --> 05:07:03,536
gave angelo quinto’s thea after

2103
05:07:03,536 --> 05:07:04,904
what happened to him.

2104
05:07:04,904 --> 05:07:07,473
The experience might seem

2105
05:07:07,473 --> 05:07:09,141
different to others, but things

2106
05:07:09,141 --> 05:07:12,111
happen to people and impacts

2107
05:07:12,111 --> 05:07:12,545
them individually.

2108
05:07:12,545 --> 05:07:14,680
Not only their families --

2109
05:07:14,680 --> 05:07:16,215
>> you’re out of order.

2110
05:07:16,215 --> 05:07:18,117
>> it’s not on the agenda.

2111
05:07:18,117 --> 05:07:20,119
>> you are out of order.

2112
05:07:20,119 --> 05:07:22,054
>> that was an amazing

2113
05:07:22,054 --> 05:07:24,457
experience to be invited to the

2114
05:07:24,457 --> 05:07:25,124
space, to have a conversation

2115
05:07:25,124 --> 05:07:27,460
with the young mother, first

2116
05:07:27,460 --> 05:07:29,128
time homeowner and put her

2117
05:07:29,128 --> 05:07:31,664
wishes and hopes and dreams in

2118
05:07:31,664 --> 05:07:34,834
the city of antioch only to be

2119
05:07:34,834 --> 05:07:36,535
continuously called monkeys,

2120
05:07:36,535 --> 05:07:39,272
aprils and racial slurs for what

2121
05:07:39,272 --> 05:07:41,440
seemed like forever from what I

2122
05:07:41,440 --> 05:07:45,778
saw on social media.

2123
05:07:45,778 --> 05:07:48,214
Also, saturday, I was able to

2124
05:07:48,214 --> 05:07:50,550
attend the second gathering of

2125
05:07:50,550 --> 05:07:52,485
pouring of love back in the same

2126
05:07:52,485 --> 05:07:53,019
neighborhood.

2127
05:07:53,019 --> 05:07:55,555
I was not surprised the amount

2128
05:07:55,555 --> 05:07:57,423
of welcome from the neighborhood

2129
05:07:57,423 --> 05:08:01,694
and the residents in the area.

2130
05:08:01,694 --> 05:08:03,462
They were happy to see people

2131
05:08:03,462 --> 05:08:05,565
show up, happy to see people

2132
05:08:05,565 --> 05:08:08,134
show up in love, solidarity and

2133
05:08:08,134 --> 05:08:08,868
in kindness.

2134
05:08:08,868 --> 05:08:12,705
They want to see more of that in

2135
05:08:12,705 --> 05:08:13,239
the community.

2136
05:08:13,239 --> 05:08:16,509
Why is this so harmful to the

2137
05:08:16,509 --> 05:08:17,376
community?

2138
05:08:17,376 --> 05:08:20,246
Why should we consider it to be

2139
05:08:20,246 --> 05:08:22,682
a harm on all of us not just

2140
05:08:22,682 --> 05:08:25,785
black people and black women?

2141
05:08:25,785 --> 05:08:28,421
Since 2025, 20 plus black

2142
05:08:28,421 --> 05:08:31,324
americans have been found hung

2143
05:08:31,324 --> 05:08:34,794
from trees across america.

2144
05:08:34,794 --> 05:08:36,662
64,000 black women and girls

2145
05:08:36,662 --> 05:08:40,766
have gone missing across this

2146
05:08:40,766 --> 05:08:42,902
country.

2147
05:08:42,902 --> 05:08:46,339
That’s just a slice of what

2148
05:08:46,339 --> 05:08:49,208
people have been experiencing,

2149
05:08:49,208 --> 05:08:51,110
particularly black women in the

2150
05:08:51,110 --> 05:08:52,078
black community.

2151
05:08:52,078 --> 05:08:56,749
We also have a city that 46% of

2152
05:08:56,749 --> 05:08:59,218
the makeup of the city identify

2153
05:08:59,218 --> 05:09:01,420
as foreign born.

2154
05:09:01,420 --> 05:09:05,191
When we think about the violence

2155
05:09:05,191 --> 05:09:07,126
impacting the communities today,

2156
05:09:07,126 --> 05:09:08,861
we have to think about what is

2157
05:09:08,861 --> 05:09:10,796
our responsibility as a city and

2158
05:09:10,796 --> 05:09:14,934
neighbors and residents of

2159
05:09:14,934 --> 05:09:15,167
antioch?

2160
05:09:15,167 --> 05:09:17,770
As brother mohammed said, we are

2161
05:09:17,770 --> 05:09:19,138
stakeholders in the corporation

2162
05:09:19,138 --> 05:09:20,806
called antioch.

2163
05:09:20,806 --> 05:09:26,245
We don’t only have to show up

2164
05:09:26,245 --> 05:09:28,514
with demands, we have to work

2165
05:09:28,514 --> 05:09:30,383
against human rights and racial

2166
05:09:30,383 --> 05:09:32,051
equity violations in the city of

2167
05:09:32,051 --> 05:09:35,621
antioch and say the things that

2168
05:09:35,621 --> 05:09:38,157
happened to ethel and her family

2169
05:09:38,157 --> 05:09:39,425
won’t be tolerated in the city

2170
05:09:39,425 --> 05:09:42,228
and we need to have a

2171
05:09:42,228 --> 05:09:45,364
confirmation to bridge unity so

2172
05:09:45,364 --> 05:09:48,301
we are all on the same page

2173
05:09:48,301 --> 05:09:50,436
moving forward.

2174
05:09:50,436 --> 05:09:53,773
>> mayor pro-tem: next is

2175
05:09:53,773 --> 05:09:57,543
mayor’s comments.

2176
05:09:57,543 --> 05:09:57,810
Mr. Mayor?

2177
05:09:57,810 --> 05:09:59,612
>> mayor ron bernal: thank

2178
05:09:59,612 --> 05:09:59,779
you.

2179
05:09:59,779 --> 05:10:03,316
Before I do that, on the 13th,

2180
05:10:03,316 --> 05:10:04,951
the board met.

2181
05:10:04,951 --> 05:10:08,120
We had an update from tridelta

2182
05:10:08,120 --> 05:10:10,656
transit on the budget and

2183
05:10:10,656 --> 05:10:13,993
service plan for the upcoming

2184
05:10:13,993 --> 05:10:16,896
year, the reduction in service

2185
05:10:16,896 --> 05:10:20,266
they are projecting and budget

2186
05:10:20,266 --> 05:10:23,703
challenges exacerbated if

2187
05:10:23,703 --> 05:10:25,871
proposition 63, sales tax

2188
05:10:25,871 --> 05:10:27,540
measure does not pass this

2189
05:10:27,540 --> 05:10:28,140
november.

2190
05:10:28,140 --> 05:10:28,808
There was discussion about

2191
05:10:28,808 --> 05:10:30,109
that.

2192
05:10:30,109 --> 05:10:32,745
We reviewed and approved

2193
05:10:32,745 --> 05:10:34,046
transportation fund for clean

2194
05:10:34,046 --> 05:10:40,786
air tfca which contributes

2195
05:10:40,786 --> 05:10:42,188
$200,000 toward trauma as well

2196
05:10:42,188 --> 05:10:44,090
as another program called rock

2197
05:10:44,090 --> 05:10:48,694
’n’ roll which is about $60,000

2198
05:10:48,694 --> 05:10:52,498
towards services that promote

2199
05:10:52,498 --> 05:10:56,335
walking and riding bicycles to

2200
05:10:56,335 --> 05:10:57,136
elementary schools trafficking

2201
05:10:57,136 --> 05:10:58,271
in the neighborhoods.

2202
05:10:58,271 --> 05:11:00,473
Those are a couple of things we

2203
05:11:00,473 --> 05:11:03,276
were talking about at that

2204
05:11:03,276 --> 05:11:03,709
meeting.

2205
05:11:03,709 --> 05:11:07,880
I was able to attend the ribbon

2206
05:11:07,880 --> 05:11:08,214
cutting.

2207
05:11:08,214 --> 05:11:09,815
Mayor pro-tem was there for

2208
05:11:09,815 --> 05:11:12,385
that.

2209
05:11:12,385 --> 05:11:13,753
Councilmember -- not mayor

2210
05:11:13,753 --> 05:11:14,854
pro-tem, councilmember rocha was

2211
05:11:14,854 --> 05:11:16,389
there as well.

2212
05:11:16,389 --> 05:11:22,061
I attended the daa that

2213
05:11:22,061 --> 05:11:24,797
councilmember torres-walker was

2214
05:11:24,797 --> 05:11:25,464
there as well as pro-tem for

2215
05:11:25,464 --> 05:11:28,167
that meeting as well.

2216
05:11:28,167 --> 05:11:32,939
On the 21st, the jacobson park

2217
05:11:32,939 --> 05:11:35,841
ribbon cutting used to be called

2218
05:11:35,841 --> 05:11:37,343
jet park because there was a jet

2219
05:11:37,343 --> 05:11:40,379
parked in the park that kid

2220
05:11:40,379 --> 05:11:41,047
played on.

2221
05:11:41,047 --> 05:11:43,950
It was a wonderful event when we

2222
05:11:43,950 --> 05:11:46,052
were able to bring, I don’t

2223
05:11:46,052 --> 05:11:48,421
know, 70 or 80 people from the

2224
05:11:48,421 --> 05:11:49,522
neighborhood.

2225
05:11:49,522 --> 05:11:52,058
Rising juntas was there,

2226
05:11:52,058 --> 05:11:52,825
different folks.

2227
05:11:52,825 --> 05:11:55,428
It was nice to be able to get to

2228
05:11:55,428 --> 05:11:57,863
meet the young people, the young

2229
05:11:57,863 --> 05:12:00,600
families that were super excited

2230
05:12:00,600 --> 05:12:02,902
about having a beautiful new

2231
05:12:02,902 --> 05:12:08,241
park and playground, basketball

2232
05:12:08,241 --> 05:12:09,809
court built in their

2233
05:12:09,809 --> 05:12:11,077
neighborhood.

2234
05:12:11,077 --> 05:12:11,978
That was positive.

2235
05:12:11,978 --> 05:12:17,984
As far as councilmember

2236
05:12:17,984 --> 05:12:20,052
torres-walker’s comments, the

2237
05:12:20,052 --> 05:12:21,988
racist comments and activity in

2238
05:12:21,988 --> 05:12:24,624
the neighborhood where

2239
05:12:24,624 --> 05:12:26,592
miss baker lives are

2240
05:12:26,592 --> 05:12:28,794
unacceptable, and will not be

2241
05:12:28,794 --> 05:12:30,329
tolerated in our community.

2242
05:12:30,329 --> 05:12:32,531
There needs to be a discussion.

2243
05:12:32,531 --> 05:12:35,935
There needs to be a venue for

2244
05:12:35,935 --> 05:12:37,603
people to come together to be

2245
05:12:37,603 --> 05:12:40,439
able to discuss this really

2246
05:12:40,439 --> 05:12:45,211
important, very volatile

2247
05:12:45,211 --> 05:12:47,213
subject, so I intend and want to

2248
05:12:47,213 --> 05:12:48,848
be part of the discussion with

2249
05:12:48,848 --> 05:12:52,818
the community, and figure out

2250
05:12:52,818 --> 05:12:54,453
how that will happen soon.

2251
05:12:54,453 --> 05:12:57,790
I want to mention that -- I want

2252
05:12:57,790 --> 05:13:00,660
to thank our parks and

2253
05:13:00,660 --> 05:13:01,160
recreation department.

2254
05:13:01,160 --> 05:13:06,299
I stopped by the 101st birthday

2255
05:13:06,299 --> 05:13:09,101
at the community center on lone

2256
05:13:09,101 --> 05:13:09,969
tree.

2257
05:13:09,969 --> 05:13:12,872
The seniors have been at lone

2258
05:13:12,872 --> 05:13:14,473
tree community center for the

2259
05:13:14,473 --> 05:13:18,945
past six months or so, nick

2260
05:13:18,945 --> 05:13:20,713
rodriguez in the process of

2261
05:13:20,713 --> 05:13:22,982
being redone for roof and air

2262
05:13:22,982 --> 05:13:24,250
conditioning and plumbing and a

2263
05:13:24,250 --> 05:13:25,284
lot of things.

2264
05:13:25,284 --> 05:13:26,819
They have been patient in that

2265
05:13:26,819 --> 05:13:28,754
project getting completed, but

2266
05:13:28,754 --> 05:13:31,457
when I went out there, it was a

2267
05:13:31,457 --> 05:13:35,027
really wonderful, beautiful

2268
05:13:35,027 --> 05:13:35,995
event.

2269
05:13:35,995 --> 05:13:37,463
People are dancing.

2270
05:13:37,463 --> 05:13:39,832
June, who runs the recreation

2271
05:13:39,832 --> 05:13:43,903
and senior program, people were

2272
05:13:43,903 --> 05:13:46,005
happy and making the best of

2273
05:13:46,005 --> 05:13:48,608
being displaced, basically, and

2274
05:13:48,608 --> 05:13:51,510
so I want to thank parks and rec

2275
05:13:51,510 --> 05:13:53,646
for stepping up and never

2276
05:13:53,646 --> 05:13:54,947
complaining, always finding a

2277
05:13:54,947 --> 05:14:01,420
way to create not just mediocre

2278
05:14:01,420 --> 05:14:03,022
solutions, but excellent

2279
05:14:03,022 --> 05:14:04,690
solutions when we have to pivot

2280
05:14:04,690 --> 05:14:06,893
and do other things.

2281
05:14:06,893 --> 05:14:11,931
Thank you jim, renee, care

2282
05:14:11,931 --> 05:14:13,966
karen, everyone that works for

2283
05:14:13,966 --> 05:14:16,435
parks and recreation and

2284
05:14:16,435 --> 05:14:18,704
everything you do to make

2285
05:14:18,704 --> 05:14:21,674
antioch a beautiful community as

2286
05:14:21,674 --> 05:15:15,494
it is.

2287
05:15:15,494 --> 05:15:18,631
>> I have my remarks on page 72

2288
05:15:18,631 --> 05:15:19,765
of your packet.

2289
05:15:19,765 --> 05:15:21,801
This is the june 30th report

2290
05:15:21,801 --> 05:15:25,471
that covers the investments that

2291
05:15:25,471 --> 05:15:27,873
we manage on behalf of the

2292
05:15:27,873 --> 05:15:28,074
city.

2293
05:15:28,074 --> 05:15:30,643
Our current market theme

2294
05:15:30,643 --> 05:15:32,044
summarizes what drives markets

2295
05:15:32,044 --> 05:15:34,213
and the factors that we consider

2296
05:15:34,213 --> 05:15:37,783
as we continue to manage the

2297
05:15:37,783 --> 05:15:38,050
portfolio.

2298
05:15:38,050 --> 05:15:41,420
Overall, we characterize the

2299
05:15:41,420 --> 05:15:43,589
current market as remaining,

2300
05:15:43,589 --> 05:15:45,725
noting there are interesting new

2301
05:15:45,725 --> 05:15:47,894
dynamics, contributing to

2302
05:15:47,894 --> 05:15:49,795
economic growth in the united

2303
05:15:49,795 --> 05:15:50,863
states.

2304
05:15:50,863 --> 05:15:53,466
This is ai investment and

2305
05:15:53,466 --> 05:15:57,803
technology spending, namely.

2306
05:15:57,803 --> 05:16:00,406
It looks like we might on the

2307
05:16:00,406 --> 05:16:02,475
cover page if you don’t mind if

2308
05:16:02,475 --> 05:16:05,745
we can turn to page 72.

2309
05:16:05,745 --> 05:16:06,612
Thank you.

2310
05:16:06,612 --> 05:16:09,749
As I’m talking to ai investment

2311
05:16:09,749 --> 05:16:11,250
and technology spending, it

2312
05:16:11,250 --> 05:16:13,185
seems this emerged as an

2313
05:16:13,185 --> 05:16:15,521
important factor contributing to

2314
05:16:15,521 --> 05:16:16,889
economic growth in the u.s. As

2315
05:16:16,889 --> 05:16:20,293
we think about gross domestic

2316
05:16:20,293 --> 05:16:20,526
product.

2317
05:16:20,526 --> 05:16:22,261
That’s the name of the game for

2318
05:16:22,261 --> 05:16:24,564
most of the economists,

2319
05:16:24,564 --> 05:16:26,432
investments we make on behalf of

2320
05:16:26,432 --> 05:16:28,801
the city, we want to see

2321
05:16:28,801 --> 05:16:31,337
continued growth that propels

2322
05:16:31,337 --> 05:16:33,039
and drives the investments we

2323
05:16:33,039 --> 05:16:36,642
make on the city’s behalf.

2324
05:16:36,642 --> 05:16:39,278
Ai has helped to offset what

2325
05:16:39,278 --> 05:16:43,249
might be characterized as a

2326
05:16:43,249 --> 05:16:44,350
modernizing consumer who has

2327
05:16:44,350 --> 05:16:46,752
pulled back on spending with

2328
05:16:46,752 --> 05:16:48,421
declining sentiment we have seen

2329
05:16:48,421 --> 05:16:50,289
over the past several month.

2330
05:16:50,289 --> 05:16:53,025
You may remember from prior

2331
05:16:53,025 --> 05:16:55,661
conversations, I spoke to the

2332
05:16:55,661 --> 05:16:57,697
fed dual mandate speaking to

2333
05:16:57,697 --> 05:16:59,498
their setting of key interest

2334
05:16:59,498 --> 05:17:00,566
rates.

2335
05:17:00,566 --> 05:17:03,169
That defines the fixed income

2336
05:17:03,169 --> 05:17:06,372
bond investments and yields

2337
05:17:06,372 --> 05:17:07,974
generated on investments we make

2338
05:17:07,974 --> 05:17:09,942
on behalf of the city.

2339
05:17:09,942 --> 05:17:12,144
We purchase fixed income assets

2340
05:17:12,144 --> 05:17:15,214
in the portfolio, bonds

2341
05:17:15,214 --> 05:17:16,349
including u.s. Treasuries.

2342
05:17:16,349 --> 05:17:20,353
The fed has a dual mandate for

2343
05:17:20,353 --> 05:17:22,455
maximum good price affordability

2344
05:17:22,455 --> 05:17:23,956
and maximum employment.

2345
05:17:23,956 --> 05:17:26,792
As we think about inflation, the

2346
05:17:26,792 --> 05:17:29,795
real question is whether higher

2347
05:17:29,795 --> 05:17:32,398
energy prices might eventually

2348
05:17:32,398 --> 05:17:35,501
spill over into core goods like

2349
05:17:35,501 --> 05:17:38,204
food, energy, those sorts of

2350
05:17:38,204 --> 05:17:39,505
factors.

2351
05:17:39,505 --> 05:17:42,608
We have seen some uptick in

2352
05:17:42,608 --> 05:17:45,745
those inflationary measures,

2353
05:17:45,745 --> 05:17:48,581
including consumer price index

2354
05:17:48,581 --> 05:17:50,149
and price expenditures.

2355
05:17:50,149 --> 05:17:52,318
Labor, on the other hand, that

2356
05:17:52,318 --> 05:17:54,520
continues to generally remain in

2357
05:17:54,520 --> 05:17:56,188
balance.

2358
05:17:56,188 --> 05:18:00,359
Unemployment has remained steady

2359
05:18:00,359 --> 05:18:03,195
at 4.2%, but as I noted earlier,

2360
05:18:03,195 --> 05:18:05,531
consumer spending is down as

2361
05:18:05,531 --> 05:18:08,568
real wage growth that is after

2362
05:18:08,568 --> 05:18:10,269
inflation has been modest and

2363
05:18:10,269 --> 05:18:12,638
may be pressuring households at

2364
05:18:12,638 --> 05:18:12,905
this time.

2365
05:18:12,905 --> 05:18:16,776
The one other notable factor we

2366
05:18:16,776 --> 05:18:18,844
saw during the quarter since we

2367
05:18:18,844 --> 05:18:22,782
last spoke was the new federal

2368
05:18:22,782 --> 05:18:24,784
reserve chair.

2369
05:18:24,784 --> 05:18:30,489
Fed chair kevin error rorche has

2370
05:18:30,489 --> 05:18:33,793
taken the seat, but the fed left

2371
05:18:33,793 --> 05:18:37,296
key rates untouched but we

2372
05:18:37,296 --> 05:18:43,169
noticed the tone more hawkish

2373
05:18:43,169 --> 05:18:45,805
higher rates coming forward

2374
05:18:45,805 --> 05:18:48,841
toward us.

2375
05:18:48,841 --> 05:18:51,110
Nine anticipating one rate hike

2376
05:18:51,110 --> 05:18:52,578
for 2026 at the june meeting.

2377
05:18:52,578 --> 05:18:54,614
With respect to the markets,

2378
05:18:54,614 --> 05:18:56,382
treasure yields moved higher

2379
05:18:56,382 --> 05:18:59,285
over the quarter over fears that

2380
05:18:59,285 --> 05:19:01,888
inflation might continue to be a

2381
05:19:01,888 --> 05:19:04,023
concern and the fed might be

2382
05:19:04,023 --> 05:19:08,494
leaning hawk issueish,

2383
05:19:08,494 --> 05:19:08,928
increasing rates.

2384
05:19:08,928 --> 05:19:35,655
We continue to find -- a strong

2385
05:19:35,655 --> 05:19:37,790
demand for corporate bonds

2386
05:19:37,790 --> 05:19:41,594
including ai issuance and u.s.

2387
05:19:41,594 --> 05:19:42,562
Treasuries that remain strong.

2388
05:19:42,562 --> 05:19:45,831
>> page 73, the next page speaks

2389
05:19:45,831 --> 05:19:49,135
to treasury yields rising across

2390
05:19:49,135 --> 05:19:49,869
the curve.

2391
05:19:49,869 --> 05:19:52,104
You can see the one year range

2392
05:19:52,104 --> 05:19:54,140
in the blue shaded area, the

2393
05:19:54,140 --> 05:19:55,675
most recent quarter in the dash

2394
05:19:55,675 --> 05:19:58,811
line and where we are june 30th

2395
05:19:58,811 --> 05:20:00,279
on the solid line.

2396
05:20:00,279 --> 05:20:03,082
We are very much on the high end

2397
05:20:03,082 --> 05:20:04,817
of the most recent one year

2398
05:20:04,817 --> 05:20:05,818
range.

2399
05:20:05,818 --> 05:20:08,020
The other change we saw this

2400
05:20:08,020 --> 05:20:11,157
quarter is continued positive

2401
05:20:11,157 --> 05:20:15,561
slope yields within the two to

2402
05:20:15,561 --> 05:20:19,165
ten year maturity ranges of u.s.

2403
05:20:19,165 --> 05:20:20,299
Treasuries.

2404
05:20:20,299 --> 05:20:23,002
The curve has flattened, notably

2405
05:20:23,002 --> 05:20:25,438
in the belly of the curve.

2406
05:20:25,438 --> 05:20:28,774
is within the

2407
05:20:28,774 --> 05:20:32,411
short-term inflation rather than

2408
05:20:32,411 --> 05:20:34,280
long-term growth.

2409
05:20:34,280 --> 05:20:36,816
Page 74 speaks to the two year

2410
05:20:36,816 --> 05:20:38,417
treasury yields.

2411
05:20:38,417 --> 05:20:41,854
I encourage our clients to think

2412
05:20:41,854 --> 05:20:43,923
of this as a wilmington you put

2413
05:20:43,923 --> 05:20:45,691
on the phone as you think about

2414
05:20:45,691 --> 05:20:48,261
where for example the city of

2415
05:20:48,261 --> 05:20:49,295
antioch portfolio is invested.

2416
05:20:49,295 --> 05:20:51,831
You can see the yields moved

2417
05:20:51,831 --> 05:20:57,770
higher over the second quarter

2418
05:20:57,770 --> 05:21:01,908
through june 30th to 4.13%.

2419
05:21:01,908 --> 05:21:05,011
During the quarter, it move up

2420
05:21:05,011 --> 05:21:07,680
30 basis points, since

2421
05:21:07,680 --> 05:21:09,882
january 1st, the two year

2422
05:21:09,882 --> 05:21:13,386
treasury is 70 to 80 basis

2423
05:21:13,386 --> 05:21:14,120
points higher.

2424
05:21:14,120 --> 05:21:17,256
Some may think the market may

2425
05:21:17,256 --> 05:21:18,991
have overshot this sort of

2426
05:21:18,991 --> 05:21:21,260
pricing, but we would argue that

2427
05:21:21,260 --> 05:21:25,932
we think at a two year -- about

2428
05:21:25,932 --> 05:21:29,569
4.17% june 30th, this still

2429
05:21:29,569 --> 05:21:31,404
remains to be an attractive

2430
05:21:31,404 --> 05:21:33,739
place for entities, agencies

2431
05:21:33,739 --> 05:21:36,576
like the city of antioch to park

2432
05:21:36,576 --> 05:21:39,412
assets as we think about one

2433
05:21:39,412 --> 05:21:41,914
historic tenure average yields

2434
05:21:41,914 --> 05:21:44,183
for the two year treasury, 20

2435
05:21:44,183 --> 05:21:47,486
year as well, shown on the

2436
05:21:47,486 --> 05:21:48,688
orange and yellow dash lines, as

2437
05:21:48,688 --> 05:21:51,891
well as the monetary policy rate

2438
05:21:51,891 --> 05:21:55,228
set the upper bound has a range

2439
05:21:55,228 --> 05:21:58,698
of 3.75 to 4% at this point in

2440
05:21:58,698 --> 05:21:58,898
time.

2441
05:21:58,898 --> 05:22:01,767
Speaking to the portfolio itself

2442
05:22:01,767 --> 05:22:03,669
on page 75, you will observe

2443
05:22:03,669 --> 05:22:06,839
that the portfolio continues to

2444
05:22:06,839 --> 05:22:12,144
be growing in a solid size of

2445
05:22:12,144 --> 05:22:12,912
122,000,000.

2446
05:22:12,912 --> 05:22:16,015
This is separate from another

2447
05:22:16,015 --> 05:22:20,853
portfolio managed by pfmam, the

2448
05:22:20,853 --> 05:22:23,289
portfolio that holds about

2449
05:22:23,289 --> 05:22:24,056
43,000,000.

2450
05:22:24,056 --> 05:22:26,826
As a performance measure, we use

2451
05:22:26,826 --> 05:22:30,796
one to five year u.s. Treasury

2452
05:22:30,796 --> 05:22:33,532
index out performing 46 basis

2453
05:22:33,532 --> 05:22:33,766
points.

2454
05:22:33,766 --> 05:22:36,836
On this page you can see yield

2455
05:22:36,836 --> 05:22:39,472
at cost representing the yield

2456
05:22:39,472 --> 05:22:43,175
portfolio as purchased 4.13% and

2457
05:22:43,175 --> 05:22:46,045
yielded market 4.30%.

2458
05:22:46,045 --> 05:22:48,714
Credit quality continues to be

2459
05:22:48,714 --> 05:22:52,818
high with aa and higher rated

2460
05:22:52,818 --> 05:22:54,687
credits accounting for more than

2461
05:22:54,687 --> 05:22:57,356
60% of the portfolio, and the

2462
05:22:57,356 --> 05:22:58,591
majority of assets continue to

2463
05:22:58,591 --> 05:23:01,060
be invested in u.s. Treasuries,

2464
05:23:01,060 --> 05:23:03,529
but we continue to diversify

2465
05:23:03,529 --> 05:23:07,366
into other sectors of fixed

2466
05:23:07,366 --> 05:23:09,468
income investing to generate the

2467
05:23:09,468 --> 05:23:11,103
yield on the portfolio.

2468
05:23:11,103 --> 05:23:16,442
The next page speaks to -- let’s

2469
05:23:16,442 --> 05:23:17,710
see.

2470
05:23:17,710 --> 05:23:19,979
Portfolio performance on page 76

2471
05:23:19,979 --> 05:23:21,080
of your packets.

2472
05:23:21,080 --> 05:23:24,217
You can see here quarterly

2473
05:23:24,217 --> 05:23:26,619
interest earningsings during the

2474
05:23:26,619 --> 05:23:28,821
three month period

2475
05:23:28,821 --> 05:23:29,155
$1.2 million.

2476
05:23:29,155 --> 05:23:31,457
There was a negative change in

2477
05:23:31,457 --> 05:23:35,061
market value as rates rose of

2478
05:23:35,061 --> 05:23:37,763
about $536,000, but total

2479
05:23:37,763 --> 05:23:40,833
dollars were returned to the

2480
05:23:40,833 --> 05:23:42,235
portfolio of $675,000.

2481
05:23:42,235 --> 05:23:44,804
The change in market value might

2482
05:23:44,804 --> 05:23:47,139
jump off the page, but this is

2483
05:23:47,139 --> 05:23:49,275
really just a sort of -- I’m

2484
05:23:49,275 --> 05:23:51,310
going to say paper adjustment at

2485
05:23:51,310 --> 05:23:52,578
this point in time.

2486
05:23:52,578 --> 05:23:55,147
These do not reflect realized

2487
05:23:55,147 --> 05:23:57,516
gains or losses, but as a

2488
05:23:57,516 --> 05:23:59,685
performance measure on a total

2489
05:23:59,685 --> 05:24:01,153
return basis, we like to show

2490
05:24:01,153 --> 05:24:02,822
the numbers to you.

2491
05:24:02,822 --> 05:24:04,690
Relative to the benchmark I

2492
05:24:04,690 --> 05:24:06,993
mentioned earlier is a one to

2493
05:24:06,993 --> 05:24:09,795
three year treasury index out

2494
05:24:09,795 --> 05:24:12,665
performed by 17 basis points.

2495
05:24:12,665 --> 05:24:16,702
If we annualize that figure,

2496
05:24:16,702 --> 05:24:18,471
look to 68 basis points during

2497
05:24:18,471 --> 05:24:19,272
the quarter.

2498
05:24:19,272 --> 05:24:22,241
We continue to feel confident in

2499
05:24:22,241 --> 05:24:24,110
the strategy that we pursue on

2500
05:24:24,110 --> 05:24:26,679
behalf of the city relative to

2501
05:24:26,679 --> 05:24:28,547
the annualized results you see

2502
05:24:28,547 --> 05:24:29,549
on this page.

2503
05:24:29,549 --> 05:24:31,751
The in the case page packet page

2504
05:24:31,751 --> 05:24:37,757
77 shows accrual basis earnings

2505
05:24:37,757 --> 05:24:40,626
that include the earned numbers

2506
05:24:40,626 --> 05:24:42,094
as well as actual realized gains

2507
05:24:42,094 --> 05:24:44,664
and losses that we took as we

2508
05:24:44,664 --> 05:24:47,700
actively managed the portfolio,

2509
05:24:47,700 --> 05:24:49,802
swapping in and out of various

2510
05:24:49,802 --> 05:24:51,771
securities as we found

2511
05:24:51,771 --> 05:24:53,105
appropriate value opportunities

2512
05:24:53,105 --> 05:24:55,408
to invest on the city behalf.

2513
05:24:55,408 --> 05:24:57,476
You can see we tried to minimize

2514
05:24:57,476 --> 05:25:00,046
the realized losses on the page

2515
05:25:00,046 --> 05:25:05,785
during the quarter and there

2516
05:25:05,785 --> 05:25:09,922
were 2,075 in realized losses.

2517
05:25:09,922 --> 05:25:13,059
This quarter a cost of $40,000.

2518
05:25:13,059 --> 05:25:16,229
You see total earnings in excess

2519
05:25:16,229 --> 05:25:17,797
of $1.2 million for the

2520
05:25:17,797 --> 05:25:18,397
quarter.

2521
05:25:18,397 --> 05:25:21,567
So, with that, there is one

2522
05:25:21,567 --> 05:25:24,270
other set of slides I want to

2523
05:25:24,270 --> 05:25:26,906
speak to that begin on page 83

2524
05:25:26,906 --> 05:25:32,511
of your packet.

2525
05:25:32,511 --> 05:25:34,814
Council raised questions about

2526
05:25:34,814 --> 05:25:35,648
potentially extending duration.

2527
05:25:35,648 --> 05:25:38,417
Now, as a reminder, state code

2528
05:25:38,417 --> 05:25:41,387
does allow for holdings that

2529
05:25:41,387 --> 05:25:47,627
mature out to five years.

2530
05:25:47,627 --> 05:25:49,562
Historically there has been a

2531
05:25:49,562 --> 05:25:52,832
preference for safety and

2532
05:25:52,832 --> 05:25:56,969
acquitty by choosing a

2533
05:25:56,969 --> 05:26:04,777
conservative benchmark.

2534
05:26:04,777 --> 05:26:09,148
Prior to 2002, the benchmark was

2535
05:26:09,148 --> 05:26:13,286
shorter, one year u.s. Treasury

2536
05:26:15,421 --> 05:26:16,155
the preference for liquidity has

2537
05:26:15,421 --> 05:26:16,155
been strong.

2538
05:26:16,155 --> 05:26:19,358
What I want to show on these

2539
05:26:19,358 --> 05:26:21,761
slides are historic performance

2540
05:26:21,761 --> 05:26:23,896
for benchmarks that would

2541
05:26:23,896 --> 05:26:25,865
generally be selected by

2542
05:26:25,865 --> 05:26:29,502
california agencies showing

2543
05:26:29,502 --> 05:26:30,836
duration, actual returns as well

2544
05:26:30,836 --> 05:26:34,040
as cumulative growth of

2545
05:26:34,040 --> 05:26:34,974
approximately $100 million.

2546
05:26:34,974 --> 05:26:36,442
I think that’s approximately the

2547
05:26:36,442 --> 05:26:39,612
size of the city’s portfolio.

2548
05:26:39,612 --> 05:26:41,547
This first page shows growth

2549
05:26:41,547 --> 05:26:45,785
over the past ten years.

2550
05:26:41,547 --> 05:26:45,785
%-

2551
05:26:45,785 --> 05:26:48,120
duration strategies in general

2552
05:26:45,785 --> 05:26:48,120
%-

2553
05:26:48,120 --> 05:26:51,390
duration strategies in general

2554
05:26:48,120 --> 05:26:51,390
including the city’s current

2555
05:26:51,390 --> 05:26:53,559
strategy have out performed

2556
05:26:53,559 --> 05:26:54,694
longer duration strategies.

2557
05:26:54,694 --> 05:26:57,797
You can see here the zero to

2558
05:26:57,797 --> 05:26:59,865
three, and the one to three are

2559
05:26:59,865 --> 05:27:03,469
u.s. Treasury index have out

2560
05:27:03,469 --> 05:27:06,739
performed the one to five year

2561
05:27:06,739 --> 05:27:09,475
or what one might characterize a

2562
05:27:09,475 --> 05:27:11,277
longer duration index.

2563
05:27:11,277 --> 05:27:14,013
Despite the duration, one would

2564
05:27:14,013 --> 05:27:16,983
expect, perhaps, higher total

2565
05:27:16,983 --> 05:27:18,451
return, higher cumulative

2566
05:27:18,451 --> 05:27:18,684
growth.

2567
05:27:18,684 --> 05:27:21,254
Over the past decade, that did

2568
05:27:21,254 --> 05:27:21,954
not take place.

2569
05:27:21,954 --> 05:27:25,625
There were factors like the

2570
05:27:25,625 --> 05:27:30,062
pandemic.

2571
05:27:30,062 --> 05:27:31,831
The yield curve that the city

2572
05:27:31,831 --> 05:27:34,834
did purr pursue.

2573
05:27:34,834 --> 05:27:36,602
The story is different on page

2574
05:27:36,602 --> 05:27:37,069
84.

2575
05:27:37,069 --> 05:27:39,472
If you now look further back to

2576
05:27:39,472 --> 05:27:41,841
20 years, and this is what one

2577
05:27:41,841 --> 05:27:44,744
would usually expect, longer

2578
05:27:44,744 --> 05:27:46,646
duration strategies have out

2579
05:27:46,646 --> 05:27:49,782
performed shorter duration

2580
05:27:49,782 --> 05:27:50,716
strategies.

2581
05:27:50,716 --> 05:27:53,152
Here you can see a longer

2582
05:27:53,152 --> 05:27:55,121
duration, one to five year

2583
05:27:55,121 --> 05:27:57,323
strategy out performed shorter

2584
05:27:57,323 --> 05:27:59,058
duration strategies including

2585
05:27:59,058 --> 05:28:02,128
the zero to three year by 40

2586
05:28:02,128 --> 05:28:05,631
basis points at the most to

2587
05:28:05,631 --> 05:28:08,034
around 30 basis points relative

2588
05:28:08,034 --> 05:28:10,102
to the current one to three year

2589
05:28:10,102 --> 05:28:14,540
index that the city currently

2590
05:28:14,540 --> 05:28:16,008
pursues.

2591
05:28:16,008 --> 05:28:20,346
The next page speaks to that

2592
05:28:20,346 --> 05:28:20,947
tabular form.

2593
05:28:20,947 --> 05:28:23,716
I wanted to show you rolling

2594
05:28:23,716 --> 05:28:27,086
one, three, five and ten year

2595
05:28:27,086 --> 05:28:28,054
benchmark returns for each of

2596
05:28:28,054 --> 05:28:30,223
the strategies that we pursue,

2597
05:28:30,223 --> 05:28:32,258
and again, you can see that,

2598
05:28:32,258 --> 05:28:36,796
like I mentioned earlier, ten

2599
05:28:36,796 --> 05:28:39,799
year performance has been strong

2600
05:28:39,799 --> 05:28:42,535
for shortage duration strategies

2601
05:28:42,535 --> 05:28:43,636
like the cities.

2602
05:28:43,636 --> 05:28:45,738
One, three and five year returns

2603
05:28:45,738 --> 05:28:47,573
have also been stronger than

2604
05:28:47,573 --> 05:28:49,809
those longer duration strategies

2605
05:28:49,809 --> 05:28:55,314
that again, one would usually

2606
05:28:55,314 --> 05:29:00,052
expect to out perform as one

2607
05:29:00,052 --> 05:29:00,920
would anticipate.

2608
05:29:00,920 --> 05:29:05,424
If I invest longer, I should

2609
05:29:05,424 --> 05:29:06,926
expect to earn more yield from

2610
05:29:06,926 --> 05:29:07,727
my investment.

2611
05:29:07,727 --> 05:29:09,795
In this case, with the

2612
05:29:09,795 --> 05:29:10,763
environment we have been in,

2613
05:29:10,763 --> 05:29:13,065
this has not played out over the

2614
05:29:13,065 --> 05:29:14,600
past ten years.

2615
05:29:14,600 --> 05:29:16,936
Now, the one or two tradeoffs I

2616
05:29:16,936 --> 05:29:19,538
should speak to on the next

2617
05:29:19,538 --> 05:29:22,842
couple of slides, the first one

2618
05:29:22,842 --> 05:29:26,746
is total return volatility.

2619
05:29:26,746 --> 05:29:29,749
As you extend duration on an

2620
05:29:29,749 --> 05:29:32,218
investment portfolio, you would

2621
05:29:32,218 --> 05:29:35,421
expect increased volatility,

2622
05:29:35,421 --> 05:29:37,056
increased changes in total

2623
05:29:37,056 --> 05:29:39,592
returns, and that’s what we

2624
05:29:39,592 --> 05:29:42,628
illustrate on this slide

2625
05:29:42,628 --> 05:29:45,031
historically all the way back to

2626
05:29:45,031 --> 05:29:45,231
2016.

2627
05:29:45,231 --> 05:29:47,567
You can see here the lighter

2628
05:29:47,567 --> 05:29:51,971
blue line is less volatile than

2629
05:29:51,971 --> 05:29:53,773
the darker blue line than the

2630
05:29:53,773 --> 05:29:55,641
city is currently invested in

2631
05:29:55,641 --> 05:29:59,812
and is even more less volatile

2632
05:29:59,812 --> 05:30:02,548
than the bright yellow line

2633
05:30:02,548 --> 05:30:04,183
showing one to five year

2634
05:30:04,183 --> 05:30:04,817
treasury.

2635
05:30:04,817 --> 05:30:07,486
In addition to potentially

2636
05:30:07,486 --> 05:30:10,156
anticipating that one might have

2637
05:30:10,156 --> 05:30:12,058
additional growth in their

2638
05:30:12,058 --> 05:30:13,593
portfolio for investing longer

2639
05:30:13,593 --> 05:30:16,729
on the yield curve, longer

2640
05:30:16,729 --> 05:30:19,865
duration, one should also expect

2641
05:30:19,865 --> 05:30:20,733
increased volatility.

2642
05:30:20,733 --> 05:30:24,537
That’s the sort of what some

2643
05:30:24,537 --> 05:30:25,571
might characterize as a risk

2644
05:30:25,571 --> 05:30:27,974
return as you think about

2645
05:30:27,974 --> 05:30:31,577
investing further out your

2646
05:30:31,577 --> 05:30:32,011
money.

2647
05:30:32,011 --> 05:30:34,413
Finally, on page 87, I just

2648
05:30:34,413 --> 05:30:37,783
wanted to show you one lever

2649
05:30:37,783 --> 05:30:40,820
that the city actually has taken

2650
05:30:40,820 --> 05:30:44,323
full advantage of that I think

2651
05:30:44,323 --> 05:30:48,127
council should short of pat

2652
05:30:48,127 --> 05:30:49,629
yourselves on the back with.

2653
05:30:49,629 --> 05:31:05,978
The left side of the page shows

2654
05:31:05,978 --> 05:31:07,480
benchmarks in california.

2655
05:31:07,480 --> 05:31:09,782
We are now focused specifically

2656
05:31:09,782 --> 05:31:24,764
on one to three on this slide.

2657
05:31:24,764 --> 05:31:27,833
At the bottom of the page, this

2658
05:31:27,833 --> 05:31:30,570
is the full spectrum of what

2659
05:31:30,570 --> 05:31:32,071
california state code, for

2660
05:31:32,071 --> 05:31:34,774
example, might offer flt at this

2661
05:31:34,774 --> 05:31:37,176
point in time the city

2662
05:31:37,176 --> 05:31:39,478
investment policy takes full

2663
05:31:39,478 --> 05:31:40,613
advantage of california state

2664
05:31:40,613 --> 05:31:40,813
code.

2665
05:31:40,813 --> 05:31:43,449
The right side of the page shows

2666
05:31:43,449 --> 05:31:46,652
the yield pickup or return

2667
05:31:46,652 --> 05:31:48,955
pickup as you increase

2668
05:31:48,955 --> 05:31:50,923
diversification among your

2669
05:31:50,923 --> 05:31:52,558
investment strategy and for a

2670
05:31:52,558 --> 05:32:03,536
one to three year strategy, one

2671
05:32:03,536 --> 05:32:09,742
would expect a return of 2.14%.

2672
05:32:09,742 --> 05:32:11,677
In this case, looking at what

2673
05:32:11,677 --> 05:32:13,679
the city is invested in, the

2674
05:32:13,679 --> 05:32:15,915
full breadth of the state code,

2675
05:32:15,915 --> 05:32:21,787
you see a 20 year total return

2676
05:32:21,787 --> 05:32:24,824
of 2.436% in excess of 20 basis

2677
05:32:24,824 --> 05:32:27,894
points, 22 basis points picked

2678
05:32:27,894 --> 05:32:30,496
up by deploying diversification

2679
05:32:30,496 --> 05:32:30,696
alone.

2680
05:32:30,696 --> 05:32:33,132
I know there is a lot of desire

2681
05:32:33,132 --> 05:32:36,335
perhaps to potentially extend

2682
05:32:36,335 --> 05:32:52,118
duration.

2683
05:32:52,118 --> 05:32:54,186
The city current one to three

2684
05:32:54,186 --> 05:32:56,122
year strategy has done quite

2685
05:32:56,122 --> 05:32:58,357
well and in fact, it has out

2686
05:32:58,357 --> 05:33:00,293
performed the longer duration

2687
05:33:00,293 --> 05:33:02,828
strategies that we might

2688
05:33:02,828 --> 05:33:04,797
typically see from other

2689
05:33:04,797 --> 05:33:05,731
california agencies.

2690
05:33:05,731 --> 05:33:07,700
With that, I’ll pause for any

2691
05:33:07,700 --> 05:33:11,103
other remarks from director

2692
05:33:11,103 --> 05:33:14,607
merchant or manager cortez and

2693
05:33:14,607 --> 05:33:15,541
any questions from the council.

2694
05:33:15,541 --> 05:33:17,043
>> questions or comments?

2695
05:33:17,043 --> 05:33:20,546
>> that concludes the

2696
05:33:20,546 --> 05:33:30,856
presentation.

2697
05:33:30,856 --> 05:33:33,459
We’ll turn it over for

2698
05:33:33,459 --> 05:33:33,726
questions.

2699
05:33:33,726 --> 05:33:35,928
Otherwise, pfm will be back next

2700
05:33:35,928 --> 05:33:38,097
year for the next presentation.

2701
05:33:38,097 --> 05:33:40,299
>> pro-tem: I have a question

2702
05:33:40,299 --> 05:33:43,669
with regards to the portfolio

2703
05:33:43,669 --> 05:33:46,739
snapshot, credit quality, s &

2704
05:33:46,739 --> 05:33:47,573
p.

2705
05:33:47,573 --> 05:33:50,142
I notice 6% not rated.

2706
05:33:50,142 --> 05:33:54,947
What are you investing in?

2707
05:33:54,947 --> 05:33:57,450
>> thank you for the question,

2708
05:33:57,450 --> 05:34:01,888
pray mayor pro-tem freitas.

2709
05:34:01,888 --> 05:34:04,357
The holdings are in compliance

2710
05:34:04,357 --> 05:34:05,491
with california state code as

2711
05:34:05,491 --> 05:34:07,426
well as the city investment

2712
05:34:07,426 --> 05:34:08,527
policy.

2713
05:34:08,527 --> 05:34:11,597
The portfolio snapshot page

2714
05:34:11,597 --> 05:34:15,668
shows the rating from standard &

2715
05:34:15,668 --> 05:34:17,770
poors.

2716
05:34:17,770 --> 05:34:21,374
It is rated by other rating

2717
05:34:21,374 --> 05:34:22,875
agencies including fitch or

2718
05:34:22,875 --> 05:34:25,745
moody’s ratings.

2719
05:34:25,745 --> 05:34:28,547
I know that, that green sliver

2720
05:34:28,547 --> 05:34:30,616
might seem alarming in that it’s

2721
05:34:30,616 --> 05:34:31,117
not rated.

2722
05:34:31,117 --> 05:34:33,753
It is in fact rated.

2723
05:34:33,753 --> 05:34:36,923
We can only show s & p with the

2724
05:34:36,923 --> 05:34:38,724
pie chart, the holdings are

2725
05:34:38,724 --> 05:34:38,925
rated.

2726
05:34:38,925 --> 05:34:43,262
>> when I saw 6%, I have to tell

2727
05:34:43,262 --> 05:34:44,730
you, I became immediately

2728
05:34:44,730 --> 05:34:45,565
concerned.

2729
05:34:45,565 --> 05:34:48,568
I might suggest that you simply

2730
05:34:48,568 --> 05:34:55,041
put in parenthesis -- standard &

2731
05:34:55,041 --> 05:34:56,542
poors rated.

2732
05:34:56,542 --> 05:34:59,178
Anyone reading that in the

2733
05:34:59,178 --> 05:35:01,414
financial markets would have

2734
05:35:01,414 --> 05:35:01,681
concerns.

2735
05:35:01,681 --> 05:35:04,450
Other questions of city

2736
05:35:04,450 --> 05:35:17,730

Are there any public comments or

>> I’m not pulling the item

2799
05:46:52,758 --> 05:46:56,262
because I’m not supporting it.

2800
05:46:56,262 --> 05:46:58,798
I pulled the item for

2801
05:46:58,798 --> 05:47:00,166
information.

2802
05:47:00,166 --> 05:47:02,168
James donlon has been an ongoing

2803
05:47:02,168 --> 05:47:03,669
concern to the community because

2804
05:47:03,669 --> 05:47:07,206
of the tragic auto accidents

2805
05:47:07,206 --> 05:47:09,775
that occurred.

2806
05:47:09,775 --> 05:47:13,145
It has come up before.

2807
05:47:13,145 --> 05:47:14,880
I support item h, but I would

2808
05:47:14,880 --> 05:47:18,951
like to know more about how the

2809
05:47:18,951 --> 05:47:20,519
projects move forward, one

2810
05:47:20,519 --> 05:47:21,320
before the other.

2811
05:47:21,320 --> 05:47:23,856
I’m not sure how that happens.

2812
05:47:23,856 --> 05:47:25,157
I’m not speaking against the

2813
05:47:25,157 --> 05:47:25,858
item.

2814
05:47:25,858 --> 05:47:28,027
Time and time again I get calls

2815
05:47:28,027 --> 05:47:30,129
and concerns from the community

2816
05:47:30,129 --> 05:47:33,266
related to james donnellan.

2817
05:47:33,266 --> 05:47:35,468
I continue to question, what

2818
05:47:35,468 --> 05:47:37,036
about james donnellan?

2819
05:47:37,036 --> 05:47:39,705
If you can please clarify where

2820
05:47:39,705 --> 05:47:42,241
we are with the project and

2821
05:47:42,241 --> 05:47:45,778
others in the pipeline

2822
05:47:45,778 --> 05:47:46,679
accumulating to move forward?

2823
05:47:46,679 --> 05:47:48,881
>> I would love to.

2824
05:47:48,881 --> 05:47:50,983
Keep the projects within the

2825
05:47:50,983 --> 05:47:52,485
traffic calming portion of what

2826
05:47:52,485 --> 05:47:53,686
we do.

2827
05:47:53,686 --> 05:47:57,290
This project we are looking at

2828
05:47:57,290 --> 05:48:00,359
tonight is traffic calming on

2829
05:48:00,359 --> 05:48:03,896

05:48:05,731 --> 05:48:06,899
year or two ago.

2832
05:48:06,899 --> 05:48:09,001
As a result, there are other

2833
05:48:09,001 --> 05:48:09,936
accidents out there.

2834
05:48:09,936 --> 05:48:12,104
were accidents brought up

2835
05:48:12,104 --> 05:48:14,340
as an area of concern.

2836
05:48:14,340 --> 05:48:17,043
James donnellan had the same

2837
05:48:17,043 --> 05:48:18,911
issues, also brought up as a

2838
05:48:18,911 --> 05:48:21,147
street of concern as well as

2839
05:48:21,147 --> 05:48:24,784
tenth street, three projects set

2840
05:48:24,784 --> 05:48:26,152
up to implement traffic calming

2841
05:48:26,152 --> 05:48:26,452
within.

2842
05:48:26,452 --> 05:48:29,288
At that point, sycamore was the

2843
05:48:29,288 --> 05:48:30,156
priority at the time.

2844
05:48:30,156 --> 05:48:32,325
That’s a project we worked on

2845
05:48:32,325 --> 05:48:34,293
and are now rolling out.

2846
05:48:34,293 --> 05:48:35,928
James donnellan is the second

2847
05:48:35,928 --> 05:48:36,195
project.

2848
05:48:36,195 --> 05:48:38,331
We have a good set of plans to

2849
05:48:38,331 --> 05:48:39,465
work with.

2850
05:48:39,465 --> 05:48:40,833
That project will be out forbid

2851
05:48:40,833 --> 05:48:42,301
this fall.

2852
05:48:42,301 --> 05:48:45,004
Then there will be construction

2853
05:48:45,004 --> 05:48:48,007
happening in winter to spring

2854
05:48:48,007 --> 05:48:49,809
depending on how that goes.

2855
05:48:49,809 --> 05:48:51,043
That’s in the works.

2856
05:48:51,043 --> 05:48:53,346
That project will be out to bid

2857
05:48:53,346 --> 05:48:56,015
this fall, and that will be

2858
05:48:56,015 --> 05:48:57,216
followed up.

2859
05:48:57,216 --> 05:48:58,985
Tenth street a residential sort

2860
05:48:58,985 --> 05:49:02,221
of area, not as easy to

2861
05:49:02,221 --> 05:49:03,890
manipulate as other roads.

2862
05:49:03,890 --> 05:49:05,191
It’s in the works.

2863
05:49:05,191 --> 05:49:09,729
It’s similar to what we are

2864
05:49:09,729 --> 05:49:11,397
working on, separation between

2865
05:49:11,397 --> 05:49:14,567
bikes and cars, putting up new

2866
05:49:14,567 --> 05:49:15,902
striping and signage in the

2867
05:49:15,902 --> 05:49:16,669
area.

2868
05:49:16,669 --> 05:49:20,339
James donnellan has a mechanism

2869
05:49:20,339 --> 05:49:22,208
to help with a crossing on the

2870
05:49:22,208 --> 05:49:23,676
trails out tr.

2871
05:49:23,676 --> 05:49:24,343
There.

2872
05:49:24,343 --> 05:49:27,179
\hthere.

2873
05:49:24,343 --> 05:49:27,179
The prompt project is in the

2874
05:49:27,179 --> 05:49:27,613
queue.

2875
05:49:27,613 --> 05:49:29,715
A lot of design is done looking

2876
05:49:29,715 --> 05:49:31,317
to roll that out in the fall.

2877
05:49:31,317 --> 05:49:33,619
When this was set up a couple of

2878
05:49:33,619 --> 05:49:36,289
years ago, it was sycamore,

2879
05:49:36,289 --> 05:49:39,292
james donnellan, tenth street.

2880
05:49:39,292 --> 05:49:40,526
That’s how we are rolling it

2881
05:49:40,526 --> 05:49:41,561
out.

2882
05:49:41,561 --> 05:49:43,062
Things are delayed a bit.

2883
05:49:43,062 --> 05:49:44,830
There is limited staffing.

2884
05:49:44,830 --> 05:49:46,766
Another thing having to do with

2885
05:49:46,766 --> 05:49:49,135
traffic calming, we did just

2886
05:49:49,135 --> 05:49:52,438
open bids today for neighborhood

2887
05:49:52,438 --> 05:49:54,340
traffic calming project which

2888
05:49:54,340 --> 05:49:56,475
people typically call speed

2889
05:49:56,475 --> 05:49:56,776
bumps.

2890
05:49:56,776 --> 05:49:58,477
We had a good price on the

2891
05:49:58,477 --> 05:49:58,978
project.

2892
05:49:58,978 --> 05:50:01,981
It looks like we might be able

2893
05:50:01,981 --> 05:50:04,350
to extend the facilities, add a

2894
05:50:04,350 --> 05:50:05,985
couple of more to the contract.

2895
05:50:05,985 --> 05:50:08,354
We’ll reach out to a few other

2896
05:50:08,354 --> 05:50:09,789
neighborhoods we didn’t think we

2897
05:50:09,789 --> 05:50:12,792
would get to with this contract

2898
05:50:12,792 --> 05:50:15,494
and install traffic calming.

2899
05:50:15,494 --> 05:50:17,163
There are speed bumps in this

2900
05:50:17,163 --> 05:50:19,031
case.

2901
05:50:19,031 --> 05:50:21,000
The program isn’t designed just

2902
05:50:21,000 --> 05:50:23,669
for speed bumps.

2903
05:50:23,669 --> 05:50:25,771
That project was open today.

2904
05:50:25,771 --> 05:50:27,340
We saw what the bids would look

2905
05:50:27,340 --> 05:50:27,907
like.

2906
05:50:27,907 --> 05:50:29,976
I’ll be coming back to you at

2907
05:50:29,976 --> 05:50:33,312
our next meeting to hopefully,

2908
05:50:33,312 --> 05:50:33,846
award the project.

2909
05:50:33,846 --> 05:50:35,381
>> I wanted clarification.

2910
05:50:35,381 --> 05:50:38,484
I have seen the work done on l

2911
05:50:38,484 --> 05:50:40,386
street to the high school, looks

2912
05:50:40,386 --> 05:50:40,653
wonderful.

2913
05:50:40,653 --> 05:50:49,562
There is a need in sick more in sycamore to l. Street.

2914
05:50:49,562 --> 05:50:50,963
There is a need for that.

2915
05:50:50,963 --> 05:50:52,298
I’m not questioning the

2916
05:50:52,298 --> 05:50:52,531
project.

2917
05:50:52,531 --> 05:50:56,269
I wanted to know whatever you

2918
05:50:56,269 --> 05:50:58,871
can do to help better

2919
05:50:58,871 --> 05:51:01,274
communicate to our residents

2920
05:51:01,274 --> 05:51:02,975
where things are.

2921
05:51:02,975 --> 05:51:05,745
I get calls, e-mails on a

2922
05:51:05,745 --> 05:51:08,748
regular basis about james

2923
05:51:08,748 --> 05:51:09,982
donnellan and I’m always looking

2924
05:51:09,982 --> 05:51:13,519
for an answer as far as where we

2925
05:51:13,519 --> 05:51:14,787
are and a timeline.

2926
05:51:14,787 --> 05:51:15,821
Your information tonight is

2927
05:51:15,821 --> 05:51:16,055
helpful.

2928
05:51:16,055 --> 05:51:18,457
>> that’s where we’ll be.

2929
05:51:18,457 --> 05:51:21,494
It will go out this fall.

2930
05:51:21,494 --> 05:51:22,828
Capital improvement trying to

2931
05:51:22,828 --> 05:51:24,497
staff up, get back in order.

2932
05:51:24,497 --> 05:51:26,832
Give us a year, and we’ll lay

2933
05:51:26,832 --> 05:51:28,668
things out better.

2934
05:51:28,668 --> 05:51:29,435
Yeah, that’s the plan.

2935
05:51:29,435 --> 05:51:32,238
This is an excellent project to

2936
05:51:32,238 --> 05:51:34,073
help pedestrians in the areas.

2937
05:51:34,073 --> 05:51:36,242
I like to say sycamore is out

2938
05:51:36,242 --> 05:51:36,609
there.

2939
05:51:36,609 --> 05:51:39,278
This is a project recently

2940
05:51:39,278 --> 05:51:41,747
completed as well as the second

2941
05:51:41,747 --> 05:51:43,583
phase of l street that will roll

2942
05:51:43,583 --> 05:51:45,284
out in a year or so.

2943
05:51:45,284 --> 05:51:48,421
It’s all working in the same

2944
05:51:48,421 --> 05:51:48,688
corridor.

2945
05:51:48,688 --> 05:51:52,825
>> pro-tem: any other

2946
05:51:52,825 --> 05:51:53,759
questions?

2947
05:51:53,759 --> 05:51:54,026
Mr. Mayor?

2948
05:51:54,026 --> 05:51:57,463
ron bernal bidding opened

2949
05:51:57,463 --> 05:51:57,763
today.

2950
05:51:57,763 --> 05:52:00,733
Are there intersecting calming

2951
05:52:00,733 --> 05:52:01,200
traffic improvements?

2952
05:52:01,200 --> 05:52:04,770
One of the biggest complaints I

2953
05:52:04,770 --> 05:52:08,574
hear about is side shows and

2954
05:52:08,574 --> 05:52:09,775
don’ts at intersections.

2955
05:52:09,775 --> 05:52:11,577
Other cities have measures to

2956
05:52:11,577 --> 05:52:13,346
reduce those, the possibility of

2957
05:52:13,346 --> 05:52:14,213
those happening.

2958
05:52:14,213 --> 05:52:17,984
Are those built into our traffic

2959
05:52:17,984 --> 05:52:20,519
calming project that you

2960
05:52:20,519 --> 05:52:40,539
mentioned?

2961
05:52:40,539 --> 05:52:42,208
We are working through the

2962
05:52:42,208 --> 05:52:43,075
geometry of that.

2963
05:52:43,075 --> 05:52:44,844
We are aware.

2964
05:52:44,844 --> 05:52:47,313
Hopefully there are key

2965
05:52:47,313 --> 05:52:48,514
intersections to get traffic

2966
05:52:48,514 --> 05:52:49,582
calming out there to reduce

2967
05:52:49,582 --> 05:52:50,049
this.

2968
05:52:50,049 --> 05:52:53,352
It’s in the process as you might

2969
05:52:53,352 --> 05:52:54,253
know.

2970
05:52:54,253 --> 05:52:56,689
We are trying to find something

2971
05:52:56,689 --> 05:52:57,590
lay out to work.

2972
05:52:57,590 --> 05:53:00,893
We have tried to use pavement

2973
05:53:00,893 --> 05:53:01,127
markers.

2974
05:53:01,127 --> 05:53:02,862
They are not much of a

2975
05:53:02,862 --> 05:53:03,729
deterrent.

2976
05:53:03,729 --> 05:53:05,398
To put something out there to

2977
05:53:05,398 --> 05:53:07,900
minimize the area within the

2978
05:53:07,900 --> 05:53:09,268
middle, likely it will be

2979
05:53:09,268 --> 05:53:11,270
bringing something to the

2980
05:53:11,270 --> 05:53:12,104
intersection, almost an

2981
05:53:12,104 --> 05:53:13,739
extension of the center median

2982
05:53:13,739 --> 05:53:16,509
that comes in to go into the

2983
05:53:16,509 --> 05:53:22,214
intersection, keeping radiusable

2984
05:53:22,214 --> 05:53:25,484
to happen and a speed bump

2985
05:53:25,484 --> 05:53:26,652
someone would not want to drive

2986
05:53:26,652 --> 05:53:26,886
over.

2987
05:53:26,886 --> 05:53:29,722
>> similar to what we did at the

2988
05:53:29,722 --> 05:53:31,490
dallas ranch in pruitt top of

2989
05:53:31,490 --> 05:53:35,261
the hill, delineators at the

2990
05:53:35,261 --> 05:53:37,463
street to stop the side shows

2991
05:53:37,463 --> 05:53:39,065
and people racing at the

2992
05:53:39,065 --> 05:53:39,865
intersection.

2993
05:53:39,865 --> 05:53:44,337
Is there something to try on an

2994
05:53:44,337 --> 05:53:45,838
interim basis to try to get

2995
05:53:45,838 --> 05:53:46,772
something on the pavement.

2996
05:53:46,772 --> 05:53:48,474
>> that is my plan.

2997
05:53:48,474 --> 05:53:51,444
I have been working with the

2998
05:53:51,444 --> 05:53:52,478
traffic consultant laying it out

2999
05:53:52,478 --> 05:53:53,246
to work.

3000
05:53:53,246 --> 05:53:57,917
It will be done with striping

3001
05:53:57,917 --> 05:53:58,818
changes.

3002
05:53:58,818 --> 05:53:59,919
It wouldn’t be major

3003
05:53:59,919 --> 05:54:00,620
construction.

3004
05:54:00,620 --> 05:54:02,622
I want to get something rolled

3005
05:54:02,622 --> 05:54:03,789
out relatively soon.

3006
05:54:03,789 --> 05:54:05,925
We are working on it.

3007
05:54:05,925 --> 05:54:09,762
I need to see what the geometry

3008
05:54:09,762 --> 05:54:16,736
looks like.

3009
05:54:16,736 --> 05:54:18,971
Frederiksen has issues.

3010
05:54:18,971 --> 05:54:21,607
There are two major issues for

3011
05:54:21,607 --> 05:54:24,277
residents that might need side

3012
05:54:24,277 --> 05:54:26,212
show deterrent, I would call

3013
05:54:26,212 --> 05:54:26,412
it.

3014
05:54:26,412 --> 05:54:30,049
>> thank you.

3015
05:54:30,049 --> 05:54:32,518
>> councilmember torres-walker:

3016
05:54:32,518 --> 05:54:34,587
my question is, do we

3017
05:54:34,587 --> 05:54:36,322
\hmy question is, do we

3018
05:54:34,587 --> 05:54:36,322
understand the difference

3019
05:54:36,322 --> 05:54:39,525
between a large scale side show

3020
05:54:39,525 --> 05:54:41,460
at an intersection and someone

3021
05:54:41,460 --> 05:54:45,731
burning out in one car in the

3022
05:54:45,731 --> 05:54:52,371
neighborhood.

3023
05:54:52,371 --> 05:54:54,006
The main difference for us in

3024
05:54:54,006 --> 05:54:55,875
terms of engineering, the things

3025
05:54:55,875 --> 05:54:57,977
are happening in residential

3026
05:54:57,977 --> 05:55:00,012
areas, two lane roads, easier

3027
05:55:00,012 --> 05:55:02,415
for me to control to build

3028
05:55:02,415 --> 05:55:03,516
something into the intersection

3029
05:55:03,516 --> 05:55:05,751
take the two lane road and make

3030
05:55:05,751 --> 05:55:09,288
it a closed off intersection.

3031
05:55:09,288 --> 05:55:11,424
Larger intersections, four lane

3032
05:55:11,424 --> 05:55:12,725
intersections, that’s more

3033
05:55:12,725 --> 05:55:13,826
difficult to put something in

3034
05:55:13,826 --> 05:55:17,763
the road to deter it.

3035
05:55:17,763 --> 05:55:20,066
Major v. One person, a lot of it

3036
05:55:20,066 --> 05:55:22,001
may be the complaints we are

3037
05:55:22,001 --> 05:55:22,635
getting.

3038
05:55:22,635 --> 05:55:26,005
How often is it happening?

3039
05:55:26,005 --> 05:55:29,208
Once, not something we’ll react

3040
05:55:29,208 --> 05:55:31,143
compared to calls keep coming.

3041
05:55:31,143 --> 05:55:33,212
There are areas you can see on

3042
05:55:33,212 --> 05:55:34,847
the pavement it’s happened more

3043
05:55:34,847 --> 05:55:35,481
than once.

3044
05:55:35,481 --> 05:55:37,550
>> councilmember torres-walker:

3045
05:55:37,550 --> 05:55:39,452
the reason I asked the

3046
05:55:39,452 --> 05:55:45,291
\hthe reason I asked the

3047
05:55:39,452 --> 05:55:45,291
question, I’m not against

3048
05:55:45,291 --> 05:55:50,863
focusing on smaller

3049
05:55:50,863 --> 05:55:58,905
neighborhoods.

3050
05:55:58,905 --> 05:56:01,607
The small two lane roads in the

3051
05:56:01,607 --> 05:56:03,009
neighborhood, getting something

3052
05:56:03,009 --> 05:56:03,843
to happen there.

3053
05:56:03,843 --> 05:56:07,647
The larger intersections, blue

3054
05:56:07,647 --> 05:56:12,351
rock and east 18th, cavalo and

3055
05:56:12,351 --> 05:56:13,686
east 18th.

3056
05:56:13,686 --> 05:56:15,187
The bigger intersections, what

3057
05:56:15,187 --> 05:56:15,988
is possible there?

3058
05:56:15,988 --> 05:56:17,957
>> again, there is

3059
05:56:17,957 --> 05:56:20,793
possibilities, but they are not

3060
05:56:20,793 --> 05:56:23,896
typically what I’m looking at

3061
05:56:23,896 --> 05:57:10,943
now.

3062
05:57:10,943 --> 05:57:13,813
>> we have no public comments.

3063
05:57:13,813 --> 05:57:15,014
>> council, consideration?

3064
05:57:15,014 --> 05:57:16,515
>> I move to approve.

3065
05:57:16,515 --> 05:57:18,851
>> rocha moves.

3066
05:57:18,851 --> 05:57:24,190
>> torres-walker seconds.

3067
05:57:24,190 --> 05:57:28,027
>> councilmember wilson absent.

3068
05:57:28,027 --> 05:57:28,694
Couple rocha?

3069
05:57:28,694 --> 05:57:30,296
>> councilmember torres-walker?

3070
05:57:30,296 --> 05:57:33,165
>> mayor pro-tem freitas?

3071
05:57:33,165 --> 05:57:34,967
Mayor bern nal?

3072
05:57:34,967 --> 05:57:40,373
Motion passes, 4-0.

3073
05:57:40,373 --> 05:57:43,576
Item k, professional services

3074
05:57:43,576 --> 05:57:46,212
agreement with consulting llc

3075
05:57:46,212 --> 05:57:48,281
for settlement agreement

3076
05:57:48,281 --> 05:57:52,418
requiring services $150,000

3077
05:57:52,418 --> 05:57:54,687
annually fiscal year 2026-27

3078
05:57:54,687 --> 05:57:58,624
budget amendment.

3079
05:57:58,624 --> 05:57:58,858
Captain?

3080
05:57:58,858 --> 05:58:00,927
>> good evening, mayor, council,

3081
05:58:00,927 --> 05:58:03,029
city, staff, members of the

3082
05:58:03,029 --> 05:58:04,830
community, I’m here to answer

3083
05:58:04,830 --> 05:58:06,098
questions you may have regarding

3084
05:58:06,098 --> 05:58:10,102
this proposed amendment.

3085
05:58:10,102 --> 05:58:14,473
>> mayor ron bernal: thank

3086
05:58:14,473 --> 05:58:15,741
you, captain bower.

3087
05:58:15,741 --> 05:58:19,011
The request is for an amount of

3088
05:58:19,011 --> 05:58:22,148
$150,000 annually, and we talked

3089
05:58:22,148 --> 05:58:23,883
about how the compensation

3090
05:58:23,883 --> 05:58:26,385
occurs, it says to be paid

3091
05:58:26,385 --> 05:58:30,790
monthly in $12,500 installments,

3092
05:58:30,790 --> 05:58:33,726
so, first of all, this will

3093
05:58:33,726 --> 05:58:36,429
create a $400,000 annual budget

3094
05:58:36,429 --> 05:58:41,701
for both the doj and the alan

3095
05:58:41,701 --> 05:58:43,970
the allen settlement.

3096
05:58:43,970 --> 05:58:46,505
That’s at the consultant’s rate,

3097
05:58:46,505 --> 05:58:49,809
which I believe is $210 an hour,

3098
05:58:49,809 --> 05:58:52,245
2,000 hours a year, full time.

3099
05:58:52,245 --> 05:58:55,348
This is like a full time gig to

3100
05:58:55,348 --> 05:58:56,582
do both of these.

3101
05:58:56,582 --> 05:59:01,721
That was the first question is,

3102
05:59:01,721 --> 05:59:04,590
now that he has been doing this

3103
05:59:04,590 --> 05:59:07,026
for a while, I’m sure he has a

3104
05:59:07,026 --> 05:59:08,294
good understanding of what it

3105
05:59:08,294 --> 05:59:10,997
takes to do both of these.

3106
05:59:10,997 --> 05:59:12,932
The allen will be newer.

3107
05:59:12,932 --> 05:59:14,667
There are new measures.

3108
05:59:14,667 --> 05:59:17,737
The other part of it is, my

3109
05:59:17,737 --> 05:59:19,538
understanding this is paid on an

3110
05:59:19,538 --> 05:59:24,443
hourly basis on the part of it

3111
05:59:24,443 --> 05:59:26,178
that’s $250,000 portion of it,

3112
05:59:26,178 --> 05:59:28,748
so I was wondering why this is a

3113
05:59:28,748 --> 05:59:33,019
flat rate of $12,500 a month,

3114
05:59:33,019 --> 05:59:34,820
hourly as well based upon the

3115
05:59:34,820 --> 05:59:38,824
need, and then if it’s 150, it’s

3116
05:59:38,824 --> 05:59:40,826
150 or less, it’s less.

3117
05:59:40,826 --> 05:59:43,262
That’s my question.

3118
05:59:43,262 --> 05:59:45,498
>> per the original contract as

3119
05:59:45,498 --> 05:59:49,001
you stated, it’s based on hourly

3120
05:59:49,001 --> 05:59:51,070
not to exceed $250,000.

3121
05:59:51,070 --> 05:59:54,073
Both of these agreements or

3122
05:59:54,073 --> 05:59:55,441
settlements overlap in a lot of

3123
05:59:55,441 --> 05:59:57,209
areas, there are separate and

3124
05:59:57,209 --> 05:59:58,911
distinct portions of the allen

3125
05:59:58,911 --> 05:59:59,512
agreement.

3126
05:59:59,512 --> 06:00:02,248
This way the billing would not

3127
06:00:02,248 --> 06:00:05,351
be convoluted in that.

3128
06:00:05,351 --> 06:00:07,420
The 12,500 is a flat rate easier

3129
06:00:07,420 --> 06:00:09,655
for the city to track.

3130
06:00:09,655 --> 06:00:11,390
Essentially, we would likely get

3131
06:00:11,390 --> 06:00:17,496
more hours out of it than the

3132
06:00:17,496 --> 06:00:19,098
210-dollar rate that he’s

3133
06:00:19,098 --> 06:00:22,068
working on the doj agreement.

3134
06:00:22,068 --> 06:00:25,204
If it’s billed solely as hourly,

3135
06:00:25,204 --> 06:00:28,874
it could convolute what work is

3136
06:00:28,874 --> 06:00:31,811
done in each area separate from

3137
06:00:31,811 --> 06:00:33,346
what overlaps.

3138
06:00:33,346 --> 06:00:35,581
>> let me tag on here.

3139
06:00:35,581 --> 06:00:39,318
I’m opposed to 12,500 quarterly

3140
06:00:39,318 --> 06:00:40,319
billing.

3141
06:00:40,319 --> 06:00:43,756
I think it’s wrong.

3142
06:00:43,756 --> 06:00:46,993
I also have an h rbac ground.

3143
06:00:46,993 --> 06:00:55,968
The 250,000 on $210 an hour,

3144
06:00:55,968 --> 06:00:59,205
1,190 hours of work, 150,000,

3145
06:00:59,205 --> 06:01:01,741
71% increase, that’s an

3146
06:01:01,741 --> 06:01:04,844
additional 714 hours.

3147
06:01:04,844 --> 06:01:09,181
It is -- 1,905 hours.

3148
06:01:09,181 --> 06:01:11,517
If an employee were to work 40

3149
06:01:11,517 --> 06:01:14,120
hours a week for the whole year

3150
06:01:14,120 --> 06:01:16,822
never take one hour for vacation

3151
06:01:16,822 --> 06:01:22,895
or one our for sick leave,

3152
06:01:22,895 --> 06:01:23,896
that’s 2,080 hours.

3153
06:01:23,896 --> 06:01:26,365
This is almost a complete full

3154
06:01:26,365 --> 06:01:30,069
time position which I question.

3155
06:01:30,069 --> 06:01:34,807
The other part of this is that

3156
06:01:34,807 --> 06:01:37,243
not only am I opposed to the

3157
06:01:37,243 --> 06:01:39,111
quarterly billing, because

3158
06:01:39,111 --> 06:01:40,947
it’s -- you have to have two

3159
06:01:40,947 --> 06:01:42,415
work order numbers.

3160
06:01:42,415 --> 06:01:44,984
Are you working on one, if it’s

3161
06:01:44,984 --> 06:01:48,254
one part of the doj agreement,

3162
06:01:48,254 --> 06:01:50,856
or the other, charge to the

3163
06:01:50,856 --> 06:01:51,290
other order.

3164
06:01:51,290 --> 06:01:53,092
Lots of people in city

3165
06:01:53,092 --> 06:01:55,228
government have multiple work

3166
06:01:55,228 --> 06:01:56,696
hours an charge that come out in

3167
06:01:56,696 --> 06:01:57,430
finance.

3168
06:01:57,430 --> 06:02:00,933
The other concern that I

3169
06:02:00,933 --> 06:02:03,135
understood is that basically,

3170
06:02:03,135 --> 06:02:06,272
when he leaves his home in

3171
06:02:06,272 --> 06:02:08,808
martinez and comes to antioch,

3172
06:02:08,808 --> 06:02:09,875
charges an hourly rate.

3173
06:02:09,875 --> 06:02:11,944
I have a problem with that.

3174
06:02:11,944 --> 06:02:16,182
If it took an hour -- I commuted

3175
06:02:16,182 --> 06:02:19,552
30 years between antioch and

3176
06:02:19,552 --> 06:02:21,220
martinez, morning commute an

3177
06:02:21,220 --> 06:02:26,459
hour or hour and a half, the a-

3178
06:02:26,459 --> 06:02:32,365
afternoon, the same thing.

3179
06:02:32,365 --> 06:02:33,733
That’s $105 we are paying for

3180
06:02:33,733 --> 06:02:37,136
him to come to this office.

3181
06:02:37,136 --> 06:02:37,904
No.

3182
06:02:37,904 --> 06:02:39,605
I have supervisorred hundreds of

3183
06:02:39,605 --> 06:02:41,340
thousands or millions of dollars

3184
06:02:41,340 --> 06:02:41,841
in contracts.

3185
06:02:41,841 --> 06:02:44,310
I have no problem paying

3186
06:02:44,310 --> 06:02:46,712
mileage, but not to use the

3187
06:02:46,712 --> 06:02:49,782
labor rate.

3188
06:02:49,782 --> 06:02:51,284
That’s wrong.

3189
06:02:51,284 --> 06:02:57,490
I am asking the city manager, if

3190
06:02:57,490 --> 06:03:00,426
our consultant services

3191
06:03:00,426 --> 06:03:02,695
agreement are paid by the labor

3192
06:03:02,695 --> 06:03:04,797
rate, then we need to find that

3193
06:03:04,797 --> 06:03:07,500
out, and we need to delete it.

3194
06:03:07,500 --> 06:03:09,769
We need to pay mileage.

3195
06:03:09,769 --> 06:03:11,804
That’s why mileage reimbursement

3196
06:03:11,804 --> 06:03:12,672
exists.

3197
06:03:12,672 --> 06:03:14,040
That’s why the federal

3198
06:03:14,040 --> 06:03:15,007
government establishes it.

3199
06:03:15,007 --> 06:03:16,876
I have a very difficult time

3200
06:03:16,876 --> 06:03:22,348
with the 71% increase for

3201
06:03:22,348 --> 06:03:24,450
$400,000 contract for work that,

3202
06:03:24,450 --> 06:03:27,320
as you mentioned, there is a lot

3203
06:03:27,320 --> 06:03:31,357
of similarities, and I am

3204
06:03:31,357 --> 06:03:33,893
absolutely opposed to the 12,500

3205
06:03:33,893 --> 06:03:34,427
quarterly.

3206
06:03:34,427 --> 06:03:36,262
That could mean you could be on

3207
06:03:36,262 --> 06:03:39,599
vacation for a month and get

3208
06:03:39,599 --> 06:03:40,333
$12,500.

3209
06:03:40,333 --> 06:03:42,802
That’s wrong.

3210
06:03:42,802 --> 06:03:44,036
I’m not supporting this.

3211
06:03:44,036 --> 06:03:46,272
The other part I have a problem

3212
06:03:46,272 --> 06:03:48,975
with the staff report is that,

3213
06:03:48,975 --> 06:03:51,410
excuse me, I specifically asked,

3214
06:03:51,410 --> 06:03:52,945
and the reason why this is on

3215
06:03:52,945 --> 06:03:55,581
the agenda tonight, I wanted to

3216
06:03:55,581 --> 06:03:57,750
see the billings.

3217
06:03:57,750 --> 06:04:00,286
I wanted to see what was being

3218
06:04:00,286 --> 06:04:02,321
charged for what type of work.

3219
06:04:02,321 --> 06:04:04,857
It was not included.

3220
06:04:04,857 --> 06:04:07,260
So, that’s still an outstanding

3221
06:04:07,260 --> 06:04:08,561
question I want to see what we

3222
06:04:08,561 --> 06:04:12,064
are paying for.

3223
06:04:12,064 --> 06:04:42,061
This contract for 400,000 if a

3224
06:04:42,061 --> 06:04:44,630
motion is made, I’ll be voting

3225
06:04:44,630 --> 06:04:45,731
against this.

3226
06:04:45,731 --> 06:04:46,332
Comments?

3227
06:04:46,332 --> 06:04:47,800
Consideration?

3228
06:04:47,800 --> 06:04:49,168
>> mayor ron bernal: I have a

3229
06:04:49,168 --> 06:05:22,868
question for the city manager.

3230
06:05:22,868 --> 06:05:28,407
>> the invoice -- I’m not sure

3231
06:05:28,407 --> 06:05:30,409
what the invoices look like

3232
06:05:30,409 --> 06:05:31,010
prior to cost.

3233
06:05:31,010 --> 06:05:31,944
>> I don’t know.

3234
06:05:31,944 --> 06:05:33,879
I didn’t know that was requested

3235
06:05:33,879 --> 06:05:36,148
in the staff report.

3236
06:05:36,148 --> 06:05:39,919
>> that’s the reason it’s back

3237
06:05:39,919 --> 06:05:40,253
here.

3238
06:05:40,253 --> 06:05:42,855
I would like to see, you know,

3239
06:05:42,855 --> 06:05:45,124
all of the hours.

3240
06:05:45,124 --> 06:05:46,058
It’s not your fault.

3241
06:05:46,058 --> 06:05:47,493
It was requested.

3242
06:05:47,493 --> 06:05:50,329
I was surprised not to see it

3243
06:05:50,329 --> 06:05:51,063
attached.

3244
06:05:51,063 --> 06:05:52,164
It is what it is.

3245
06:05:52,164 --> 06:05:55,368
The other question, I don’t know

3246
06:05:55,368 --> 06:05:59,138
if he is a calpers member, but

3247
06:05:59,138 --> 06:06:00,873
is there impact between the

3248
06:06:00,873 --> 06:06:04,477
services agreement and calpers

3249
06:06:04,477 --> 06:06:05,811
retirement and obligation the

3250
06:06:05,811 --> 06:06:08,681
city has with regards to

3251
06:06:08,681 --> 06:06:09,448
calpers?

3252
06:06:09,448 --> 06:06:12,418
>> we would need to be sure the

3253
06:06:12,418 --> 06:06:15,588
services he’s provided, he’s

3254
06:06:15,588 --> 06:06:18,057
acting as a consultant.

3255
06:06:18,057 --> 06:06:20,293
>> we have other individuals

3256
06:06:20,293 --> 06:06:21,761
with consulting services

3257
06:06:21,761 --> 06:06:22,295
agreement.

3258
06:06:22,295 --> 06:06:24,163
I’m curious if there is issue

3259
06:06:24,163 --> 06:06:26,499
that we need to take a look at

3260
06:06:26,499 --> 06:06:27,400
and review.

3261
06:06:27,400 --> 06:06:28,200
>> yes.

3262
06:06:28,200 --> 06:06:30,169
I can go back to make sure that

3263
06:06:30,169 --> 06:06:32,872
the scope of work being

3264
06:06:32,872 --> 06:06:35,908
performed is completely

3265
06:06:35,908 --> 06:06:36,175
separate.

3266
06:06:36,175 --> 06:06:39,011
>> pro-tem: is there any

3267
06:06:39,011 --> 06:06:39,345
consideration?

3268
06:06:39,345 --> 06:06:42,348
>> I have a question for captain

3269
06:06:42,348 --> 06:06:42,648
bower.

3270
06:06:42,648 --> 06:06:46,786
What is the time line for this

3271
06:06:46,786 --> 06:06:48,421
needing to be executed as far as

3272
06:06:48,421 --> 06:06:49,322
this work?

3273
06:06:49,322 --> 06:06:52,458
I know the allen agreement is

3274
06:06:52,458 --> 06:06:52,825
completed.

3275
06:06:52,825 --> 06:06:54,660
I suspect the police department

3276
06:06:54,660 --> 06:06:56,963
is pursuing working on terms.

3277
06:06:56,963 --> 06:07:00,132
What is the timing of this being

3278
06:07:00,132 --> 06:07:00,399
approved?

3279
06:07:00,399 --> 06:07:01,767
>> currently, we are in the

3280
06:07:01,767 --> 06:07:03,636
process.

3281
06:07:03,636 --> 06:07:04,870
The agreement -- the settlement

3282
06:07:04,870 --> 06:07:07,907
has been inc.ked. I thinked.

3283
06:07:07,907 --> 06:07:15,715
We haveiinked.

3284
06:07:15,715 --> 06:07:17,550
It’s important that though they

3285
06:07:17,550 --> 06:07:20,653
overlap, there is a lot of

3286
06:07:20,653 --> 06:07:22,889
additional work.

3287
06:07:22,889 --> 06:07:25,324
It’s in the doj report or

3288
06:07:25,324 --> 06:07:25,591
agreement.

3289
06:07:25,591 --> 06:07:27,860
I think it’s also important to

3290
06:07:27,860 --> 06:07:28,861
understand how much work that

3291
06:07:28,861 --> 06:07:31,097
is.

3292
06:07:31,097 --> 06:07:32,531
The early intervention system

3293
06:07:32,531 --> 06:07:38,170
alone, the draft he has written,

3294
06:07:38,170 --> 06:07:40,740
not even part of the doj

3295
06:07:40,740 --> 06:07:42,141
agreement, just preparation for

3296
06:07:42,141 --> 06:07:45,778
this, looking at that, my

3297
06:07:45,778 --> 06:07:47,513
experience with early

3298
06:07:47,513 --> 06:07:48,948
intervention in the department,

3299
06:07:48,948 --> 06:07:51,584
this exceeds what you find?

3300
06:07:51,584 --> 06:07:53,085
Most places and implementing

3301
06:07:53,085 --> 06:07:54,587
that will be a challenge.

3302
06:07:54,587 --> 06:07:56,088
There is a significant amount of

3303
06:07:56,088 --> 06:07:57,557
work.

3304
06:07:57,557 --> 06:07:59,292
I understand the percent

3305
06:07:59,292 --> 06:08:01,761
increase and dollar amount, but

3306
06:08:01,761 --> 06:08:03,629
there presents challenges as if,

3307
06:08:03,629 --> 06:08:05,331
not this, what is our

3308
06:08:05,331 --> 06:08:06,065
alternative?

3309
06:08:06,065 --> 06:08:07,133
What does that do?

3310
06:08:07,133 --> 06:08:10,303
It puts us behind the curve on

3311
06:08:10,303 --> 06:08:13,773
meeting the substantial

3312
06:08:13,773 --> 06:08:14,607
compliance requirements.

3313
06:08:14,607 --> 06:08:16,375
>> mayor ron bernal: correct.

3314
06:08:16,375 --> 06:08:18,311
That’s not my goal here to put

3315
06:08:18,311 --> 06:08:21,747
us behind the curve or delay the

3316
06:08:21,747 --> 06:08:25,751
satisfaction of the settlement,

3317
06:08:25,751 --> 06:08:25,952
so --

3318
06:08:25,952 --> 06:08:27,987
>> my comment is that there is

3319
06:08:27,987 --> 06:08:29,522
no question.

3320
06:08:29,522 --> 06:08:31,791
I support working with the

3321
06:08:31,791 --> 06:08:40,566
existing consultant as

3322
06:08:40,566 --> 06:08:42,168
identifying as the reason for

3323
06:08:42,168 --> 06:08:44,270
this t. The main issue is

3324
06:08:44,270 --> 06:08:46,305
questions about

3325
06:08:46,305 --> 06:08:48,841
transportation -- you said

3326
06:08:48,841 --> 06:08:52,144
mileage v. Being paid point a to

3327
06:08:52,144 --> 06:08:53,312
point b, compensation is the

3328
06:08:53,312 --> 06:08:54,313
only question.

3329
06:08:54,313 --> 06:08:56,349
We need to work through that,

3330
06:08:56,349 --> 06:08:57,583
come to agreement and move

3331
06:08:57,583 --> 06:08:57,984
forward.

3332
06:08:57,984 --> 06:09:00,219
I think some of these matters

3333
06:09:00,219 --> 06:09:02,355
need to be resolved in terms of

3334
06:09:02,355 --> 06:09:03,522
the driving issue.

3335
06:09:03,522 --> 06:09:05,725
I think that definitely needs to

3336
06:09:05,725 --> 06:09:08,427
be resolved.

3337
06:09:08,427 --> 06:09:11,497
>> is it true for all

3338
06:09:11,497 --> 06:09:11,964
agreements?

3339
06:09:11,964 --> 06:09:14,333
Is it the standard for the city

3340
06:09:14,333 --> 06:09:15,067
of antioch?

3341
06:09:15,067 --> 06:09:18,404
If it is, it needs to come back

3342
06:09:18,404 --> 06:09:18,771
for discussion.

3343
06:09:18,771 --> 06:09:20,706
>> I support the item before

3344
06:09:20,706 --> 06:09:20,873
us.

3345
06:09:20,873 --> 06:09:23,476
I think we need to adjust how we

3346
06:09:23,476 --> 06:09:25,811
are being -- how the individual

3347
06:09:25,811 --> 06:09:28,915
is being compensated with one

3348
06:09:28,915 --> 06:09:32,752
contract versus the other,

3349
06:09:32,752 --> 06:09:34,086
making sure it’s consistent, how

3350
06:09:34,086 --> 06:09:37,757
we are doing business and being

3351
06:09:37,757 --> 06:09:39,325
fiscally responsible in all

3352
06:09:39,325 --> 06:09:40,092
contracts we do.

3353
06:09:40,092 --> 06:09:42,295
There are valid questions of

3354
06:09:42,295 --> 06:09:44,530
points being made here.

3355
06:09:44,530 --> 06:09:46,165
There is no doubt in my opinion

3356
06:09:46,165 --> 06:09:48,501
that we need to proceed forward

3357
06:09:48,501 --> 06:09:50,570
for reasons identified in the

3358
06:09:50,570 --> 06:09:51,337
particular report.

3359
06:09:51,337 --> 06:09:56,542
>> pro-tem: the question is,

3360
06:09:56,542 --> 06:09:58,878
the fiscal nature of this.

3361
06:09:58,878 --> 06:10:03,282
I have objection to paying

3362
06:10:03,282 --> 06:10:03,549
quarterly.

3363
06:10:03,549 --> 06:10:05,718
That’s me.

3364
06:10:05,718 --> 06:10:09,689
>> councilmember torres-walker:

3365
06:10:09,689 --> 06:10:12,625
thank you for the report.

3366
06:10:12,625 --> 06:10:14,760
\hthank you for the report.

3367
06:10:12,625 --> 06:10:14,760
My biggest concern was similar

3368
06:10:14,760 --> 06:10:17,163
to the question around the mayor

3369
06:10:17,163 --> 06:10:18,631
related to compliance.

3370
06:10:18,631 --> 06:10:20,333
What is the potential timeline

3371
06:10:20,333 --> 06:10:22,401
on getting some of these

3372
06:10:22,401 --> 06:10:24,737
questions answered from the city

3373
06:10:24,737 --> 06:10:26,405
because it’s not lost on me that

3374
06:10:26,405 --> 06:10:28,874
all of these meetings and

3375
06:10:28,874 --> 06:10:31,110
conversations are being observed

3376
06:10:31,110 --> 06:10:33,879
and what I don’t want is for

3377
06:10:33,879 --> 06:10:39,585
there to be like a complaint

3378
06:10:39,585 --> 06:10:44,991
filed that we are not moving

3379
06:10:44,991 --> 06:10:48,394
forward to be in compliance by

3380
06:10:48,394 --> 06:11:09,749
the arpa settlement agreement.

3381
06:11:09,749 --> 06:11:12,251
>> we signed agreement seven

3382
06:11:12,251 --> 06:11:12,618
months ago.

3383
06:11:12,618 --> 06:11:14,387
The expectations are that we

3384
06:11:14,387 --> 06:11:16,289
begin work immediately.

3385
06:11:16,289 --> 06:11:20,493
He is not being compensated but

3386
06:11:20,493 --> 06:11:23,529
he’s been working on it since we

3387
06:11:23,529 --> 06:11:24,263
inked the deal.

3388
06:11:24,263 --> 06:11:26,432
They have concerns over the lack

3389
06:11:26,432 --> 06:11:28,901
of movement in particular to

3390
06:11:28,901 --> 06:11:30,369
some things outside of our

3391
06:11:30,369 --> 06:11:32,505
control as it relates to city

3392
06:11:32,505 --> 06:11:33,372
staff.

3393
06:11:33,372 --> 06:11:38,244
The biggest point they brought

3394
06:11:38,244 --> 06:11:39,712
up and why the agreements take

3395
06:11:39,712 --> 06:11:42,014
so long to get off the ground,

3396
06:11:42,014 --> 06:11:43,816
the interpretation of said

3397
06:11:43,816 --> 06:11:46,519
agreement changes and we see

3398
06:11:46,519 --> 06:11:49,055
pieces of that with miss scott

3399
06:11:49,055 --> 06:11:50,156
not being here anymore.

3400
06:11:50,156 --> 06:11:51,757
It came up in the last meeting

3401
06:11:51,757 --> 06:11:52,758
with the law firm.

3402
06:11:52,758 --> 06:11:54,460
They have concerns and whether

3403
06:11:54,460 --> 06:11:56,596
this will move forward or

3404
06:11:56,596 --> 06:11:58,130
continue to be kicked around.

3405
06:11:58,130 --> 06:11:59,932
We assured them we are doing

3406
06:11:59,932 --> 06:12:01,467
everything we can to move it

3407
06:12:01,467 --> 06:12:02,001
forward.

3408
06:12:02,001 --> 06:12:04,036
If it’s a matter of working on

3409
06:12:04,036 --> 06:12:05,238
some of the financials within

3410
06:12:05,238 --> 06:12:07,573
the agreement, I have no doubt

3411
06:12:07,573 --> 06:12:09,041
in my mind we’ll have something

3412
06:12:09,041 --> 06:12:18,050
back to you asap.

3413
06:12:18,050 --> 06:12:20,119
There is more work in this

3414
06:12:20,119 --> 06:12:21,520
agreement than the doj.

3415
06:12:21,520 --> 06:12:23,990
We are talking about building

3416
06:12:23,990 --> 06:12:25,658
systems that don’t exist in this

3417
06:12:25,658 --> 06:12:27,093
city and agency right now.

3418
06:12:27,093 --> 06:12:29,695
We are talking about building

3419
06:12:29,695 --> 06:12:33,132
analytical requirements that

3420
06:12:33,132 --> 06:12:52,485
don’t exist.

3421
06:12:52,485 --> 06:12:54,353
We are ready to move forward in

3422
06:12:54,353 --> 06:12:55,888
different areas already.

3423
06:12:55,888 --> 06:12:58,891
This is one more thing we are

3424
06:12:58,891 --> 06:13:01,561
waiting onen.

3425
06:13:01,561 --> 06:13:05,264
I’m sure we can work out the

3426
06:13:05,264 --> 06:13:05,565
financials.

3427
06:13:05,565 --> 06:13:07,433
We wanted to see the billing for

3428
06:13:07,433 --> 06:13:08,267
the other agreement.

3429
06:13:08,267 --> 06:13:09,602
That’s an easy fix.

3430
06:13:09,602 --> 06:13:11,437
This is a totally different

3431
06:13:11,437 --> 06:13:14,740
agreement than the doj

3432
06:13:14,740 --> 06:13:21,681
agreement.

3433
06:13:21,681 --> 06:13:26,185
>> I would thank you, chief.

3434
06:13:26,185 --> 06:13:28,854
I would suggest to the mayor and

3435
06:13:28,854 --> 06:13:31,057
this council that maybe there is

3436
06:13:31,057 --> 06:13:32,592
a special meeting that needs to

3437
06:13:32,592 --> 06:13:36,362
be called to address this

3438
06:13:36,362 --> 06:13:38,130
because as far as I’m aware,

3439
06:13:38,130 --> 06:13:41,167
there are concerns on the other

3440
06:13:41,167 --> 06:13:43,202
side that we are dragging our

3441
06:13:43,202 --> 06:13:45,738
feet and I also get the concerns

3442
06:13:45,738 --> 06:13:47,773
on this side around getting

3443
06:13:47,773 --> 06:13:50,276
clarity, and I would hate to see

3444
06:13:50,276 --> 06:13:52,378
us back in court litigating this

3445
06:13:52,378 --> 06:14:00,887
all over again.

3446
06:14:00,887 --> 06:14:04,857
>> pro-tem: this could have

3447
06:14:04,857 --> 06:14:06,392
been done.

3448
06:14:06,392 --> 06:14:07,860
If a councilmember makes the

3449
06:14:07,860 --> 06:14:10,396
request and it’s ignored, that

3450
06:14:10,396 --> 06:14:12,198
causes a delay.

3451
06:14:12,198 --> 06:14:14,800
>> is this something to put on

3452
06:14:14,800 --> 06:14:16,702
the calendar for the 8th.

3453
06:14:16,702 --> 06:14:19,605
>> pro-tem: I won’t be here.

3454
06:14:19,605 --> 06:14:21,707
I understand the urgency.

3455
06:14:21,707 --> 06:14:25,044
We have a fiduciary

3456
06:14:25,044 --> 06:14:26,012
responsibility, oversight

3457
06:14:26,012 --> 06:14:26,379
responsibility.

3458
06:14:26,379 --> 06:14:28,180
That is our role.

3459
06:14:28,180 --> 06:14:31,250
There are issues that frankly, I

3460
06:14:31,250 --> 06:14:32,752
feel, need to be addressed.

3461
06:14:32,752 --> 06:14:34,854
If the council wants to make a

3462
06:14:34,854 --> 06:14:39,091
motion to approve it, go ahead.

3463
06:14:39,091 --> 06:14:41,661
>> councilmember torres-walker:

3464
06:14:41,661 --> 06:14:45,898
I’m not suggesting the a, I’m

3465
06:14:45,898 --> 06:14:48,367
\hi’m not suggesting the a, I’m

3466
06:14:45,898 --> 06:14:48,367
suggesting that we are in risk

3467
06:14:48,367 --> 06:14:51,304
of being in violation of the

3468
06:14:51,304 --> 06:14:52,638
settlement agreement and we call

3469
06:14:52,638 --> 06:14:54,240
a special meeting for any and

3470
06:14:54,240 --> 06:14:55,708
everything else.

3471
06:14:55,708 --> 06:14:58,644
Can we call a special meeting to

3472
06:14:58,644 --> 06:15:00,646
address this issue before the

3473
06:15:00,646 --> 06:15:01,180
eighth?

3474
06:15:01,180 --> 06:15:02,915
>> we can.

3475
06:15:02,915 --> 06:15:06,352
We need to confirm we’ll have

3476
06:15:06,352 --> 06:15:07,153
quorum.

3477
06:15:07,153 --> 06:15:10,690
That’s up to the mayor if he

3478
06:15:10,690 --> 06:15:12,892
wants to authorize that.

3479
06:15:12,892 --> 06:15:15,761
>> is the motion to table --

3480
06:15:15,761 --> 06:15:18,331
>> there is no motion, so there

3481
06:15:18,331 --> 06:15:19,799
is no action.

3482
06:15:19,799 --> 06:15:20,700
Unless you want to make a

3483
06:15:20,700 --> 06:15:21,500
motion.

3484
06:15:21,500 --> 06:15:24,036
>> councilmember torres-walker:

3485
06:15:24,036 --> 06:15:27,306
we need action for it to come

3486
06:15:27,306 --> 06:15:27,506
\hwe need action for it to come

3487
06:15:27,306 --> 06:15:27,506
back.

3488
06:15:27,506 --> 06:15:31,077
>> pro-tem: the city manager

3489
06:15:31,077 --> 06:15:33,379
will coordinate it to bring it

3490
06:15:33,379 --> 06:15:35,514
back.

3491
06:15:35,514 --> 06:15:36,616
Miss cortez?

3492
06:15:36,616 --> 06:15:39,051
>> yes, I have to make sure we

3493
06:15:39,051 --> 06:15:42,054
have a quorum.

3494
06:15:42,054 --> 06:15:47,560
I’ll pool the quorum.

3495
06:15:47,560 --> 06:15:51,497
>> pro-tem: no action on item

3496
06:15:51,497 --> 06:15:56,636
k.

3497
06:15:56,636 --> 06:16:06,345
Public hearing, item 7,

3498
06:16:06,345 --> 06:16:08,514
resolution accepting and

3499
06:16:08,514 --> 06:16:10,483
adopting the 2025 urban water

3500
06:16:10,483 --> 06:16:12,652
management plan and water

3501
06:16:12,652 --> 06:16:13,386
shortage contingency plan.

3502
06:16:13,386 --> 06:16:15,855
>> thank you, city council.

3503
06:16:15,855 --> 06:16:17,723
We have a public hearing

3504
06:16:17,723 --> 06:16:20,359
regarding the 2025 urban water

3505
06:16:20,359 --> 06:16:22,862
management plan and water

3506
06:16:22,862 --> 06:16:24,330
shortage contingency plan.

3507
06:16:24,330 --> 06:16:26,699
Our staff recommends approving

3508
06:16:26,699 --> 06:16:30,503
the plan and authorizing the

3509
06:16:30,503 --> 06:16:32,972
city staff to submit the

3510
06:16:32,972 --> 06:16:34,340
documents to the department of

3511
06:16:34,340 --> 06:16:36,208
water resource incorporating

3512
06:16:36,208 --> 06:16:37,577
comments we have at the close of

3513
06:16:37,577 --> 06:16:40,179
the public hearing.

3514
06:16:40,179 --> 06:16:46,886
I have beau with black water

3515
06:16:46,886 --> 06:16:47,486
engineering consultants

3516
06:16:47,486 --> 06:16:48,888
proponent for the public

3517
06:16:48,888 --> 06:16:49,121
hearing.

3518
06:16:49,121 --> 06:16:50,957
Thank you.

3519
06:16:50,957 --> 06:16:53,726
>> pro-tem: I will open up the

3520
06:16:53,726 --> 06:17:12,378
public hearing.

3521
06:17:12,378 --> 06:17:16,883
>> hello, mayor, mayor pro-tem,

3522
06:17:16,883 --> 06:17:19,252
city council members and city

3523
06:17:19,252 --> 06:17:21,254
staff.

3524
06:17:21,254 --> 06:17:24,290
My name is beau.

3525
06:17:24,290 --> 06:17:27,526
I’m here today to present the

3526
06:17:27,526 --> 06:17:29,662
2025 urban water management plan

3527
06:17:29,662 --> 06:17:33,199
and also the water shortage

3528
06:17:33,199 --> 06:17:36,302
contingency plan for the city of

3529
06:17:36,302 --> 06:17:46,913
antioch.

3530
06:17:46,913 --> 06:17:50,550
Per the urban water planning

3531
06:17:50,550 --> 06:17:54,921
management act, ab797, the state

3532
06:17:54,921 --> 06:17:59,492
choirs requires that an agency

3533
06:17:59,492 --> 06:18:02,428
serving 3,000 connections or

3534
06:18:02,428 --> 06:18:04,297
providing 3,000-acre feet of

3535
06:18:04,297 --> 06:18:06,699
water for the water management

3536
06:18:06,699 --> 06:18:06,899
plan.

3537
06:18:06,899 --> 06:18:09,735
Since the city supplies water to

3538
06:18:09,735 --> 06:18:11,337
34,000 service connections, the

3539
06:18:11,337 --> 06:18:13,739
city is considered an urban

3540
06:18:13,739 --> 06:18:15,608
water supplier and is required

3541
06:18:15,608 --> 06:18:19,412
by the state to prepare and

3542
06:18:19,412 --> 06:18:22,014
adopt the urban water management

3543
06:18:22,014 --> 06:18:23,282
plan every five years.

3544
06:18:23,282 --> 06:18:25,151
This is required in order for

3545
06:18:25,151 --> 06:18:26,619
the city to be eligible for

3546
06:18:26,619 --> 06:18:29,889
state grants and loans.

3547
06:18:29,889 --> 06:18:32,225
The purpose of the urban water

3548
06:18:32,225 --> 06:18:36,295
management plan is to evaluate

3549
06:18:36,295 --> 06:18:38,231
future demands, assess available

3550
06:18:38,231 --> 06:18:40,466
supplies, prepare for drought

3551
06:18:40,466 --> 06:18:43,135
conditions and identify

3552
06:18:43,135 --> 06:18:45,605
conservations and infrastructure

3553
06:18:45,605 --> 06:18:47,506
improvements, maintain reliable

3554
06:18:47,506 --> 06:18:49,141
service.

3555
06:18:49,141 --> 06:18:50,810
Basically, the main goal is to

3556
06:18:50,810 --> 06:18:52,445
make sure the city has enough

3557
06:18:52,445 --> 06:18:55,047
water supply to serve existing

3558
06:18:55,047 --> 06:18:59,318
and future customers.

3559
06:18:59,318 --> 06:19:04,457
The slide shows an overview of

3560
06:19:04,457 --> 06:19:06,893
the 2025 urban water management

3561
06:19:06,893 --> 06:19:08,394
plan prepared to meet the

3562
06:19:08,394 --> 06:19:12,098
requirements of the 2025 urban

3563
06:19:12,098 --> 06:19:12,999
water management plan guide

3564
06:19:12,999 --> 06:19:13,733
book.

3565
06:19:13,733 --> 06:19:16,836
The document goes over the state

3566
06:19:16,836 --> 06:19:18,571
requirements needed to prepare

3567
06:19:18,571 --> 06:19:22,675
the urban water management plan

3568
06:19:22,675 --> 06:19:25,144
supply the city’s water supply

3569
06:19:25,144 --> 06:19:28,981
and demand and the baseline and

3570
06:19:28,981 --> 06:19:30,483
targets in which the city has to

3571
06:19:30,483 --> 06:19:31,717
meet.

3572
06:19:31,717 --> 06:19:33,886
The document goes over the water

3573
06:19:33,886 --> 06:19:35,988
service reliability, drought

3574
06:19:35,988 --> 06:19:39,792
risk assessment, water shortage

3575
06:19:39,792 --> 06:19:41,561
contingency plan and demand

3576
06:19:41,561 --> 06:19:44,130
management measures.

3577
06:19:44,130 --> 06:19:47,233
Finally, the urban water

3578
06:19:47,233 --> 06:19:50,770
management plan goes over the

3579
06:19:50,770 --> 06:19:54,106
adoption implementation.

3580
06:19:54,106 --> 06:19:56,309
There has been a few changes to

3581
06:19:56,309 --> 06:19:57,944
the urban water management plan

3582
06:19:57,944 --> 06:20:01,147
since the last update.

3583
06:20:01,147 --> 06:20:04,650
Per section 1.1 of the urban

3584
06:20:04,650 --> 06:20:06,719
management plan guide book

3585
06:20:06,719 --> 06:20:09,689
finalized in january 2026, the

3586
06:20:09,689 --> 06:20:11,924
section shows the minor

3587
06:20:11,924 --> 06:20:12,291
adjustments.

3588
06:20:12,291 --> 06:20:15,528
The first one is minor

3589
06:20:15,528 --> 06:20:17,363
adjustments to water code.

3590
06:20:17,363 --> 06:20:21,767
This has been reflected in the

3591
06:20:21,767 --> 06:20:22,501
city’s 2025 urban water

3592
06:20:22,501 --> 06:20:23,603
management plan.

3593
06:20:23,603 --> 06:20:25,304
There is classification for

3594
06:20:25,304 --> 06:20:27,406
supplier with multiple water

3595
06:20:27,406 --> 06:20:27,640
systems.

3596
06:20:27,640 --> 06:20:29,709
This does not apply to the

3597
06:20:29,709 --> 06:20:30,042
city.

3598
06:20:30,042 --> 06:20:32,511
does not have multiple

3599
06:20:32,511 --> 06:20:34,280
public water systems.

3600
06:20:34,280 --> 06:20:38,584
Additionally, the 2020 table has

3601
06:20:38,584 --> 06:20:42,288
been changed to 2025.

3602
06:20:42,288 --> 06:20:44,624
One major thing added to the

3603
06:20:44,624 --> 06:20:46,859
urban water management plan is

3604
06:20:46,859 --> 06:20:50,363
the 2028 water loss vendor

3605
06:20:50,363 --> 06:20:50,630
reporting.

3606
06:20:50,630 --> 06:20:51,697
This is something I’ll talk

3607
06:20:51,697 --> 06:20:53,299
about more in the next few

3608
06:20:53,299 --> 06:20:53,866
slides.

3609
06:20:53,866 --> 06:20:55,868
The state has provided

3610
06:20:55,868 --> 06:20:57,770
additional guidance for lower

3611
06:20:57,770 --> 06:21:00,640
income housing and also for

3612
06:21:00,640 --> 06:21:03,743
ground water recharge and

3613
06:21:03,743 --> 06:21:09,081
storage.

3614
06:21:09,081 --> 06:21:13,486
In 2025, the city supplied

3615
06:21:13,486 --> 06:21:17,823
potable water to about

3616
06:21:17,823 --> 06:21:19,959
5 billion gallons to 34,000

3617
06:21:19,959 --> 06:21:21,727
water service connections.

3618
06:21:21,727 --> 06:21:23,262
The city currently has a

3619
06:21:23,262 --> 06:21:26,299
population of about 120

3620
06:21:26,299 --> 06:21:26,933
residents.

3621
06:21:26,933 --> 06:21:29,468
As part of this urban water

3622
06:21:29,468 --> 06:21:31,671
management plan, the water

3623
06:21:31,671 --> 06:21:34,807
category use includes a single

3624
06:21:34,807 --> 06:21:38,444
family, multifamily, commercial,

3625
06:21:38,444 --> 06:21:39,612
industrial institutional

3626
06:21:39,612 --> 06:21:41,814
governmental landscape other and

3627
06:21:41,814 --> 06:21:42,848
water loss.

3628
06:21:42,848 --> 06:21:46,852
Other is defined as a metered

3629
06:21:46,852 --> 06:21:50,656
and unbilled water consumption

3630
06:21:50,656 --> 06:21:50,856
data.

3631
06:21:50,856 --> 06:21:53,492
This slide shows the historical

3632
06:21:53,492 --> 06:21:55,861
and current water use for the

3633
06:21:55,861 --> 06:21:58,598
water use categories.

3634
06:21:58,598 --> 06:22:00,967
As you can see, the water has

3635
06:22:00,967 --> 06:22:03,469
remained fairly constant from

3636
06:22:03,469 --> 06:22:08,608
2021 to 2025.

3637
06:22:08,608 --> 06:22:10,843
The next slide shows the current

3638
06:22:10,843 --> 06:22:12,278
and projected water use for the

3639
06:22:12,278 --> 06:22:15,948
city of antioch.

3640
06:22:15,948 --> 06:22:17,884
Projection was water use was

3641
06:22:17,884 --> 06:22:22,855
assumed to increase by 0.65%

3642
06:22:22,855 --> 06:22:26,292
annually from 2025 to 2045 based

3643
06:22:26,292 --> 06:22:57,757
on historical water usage data.

3644
06:22:57,757 --> 06:23:03,262
Gpcd and the estimated baseline

3645
06:23:03,262 --> 06:23:05,698
of 206 gallons per capita per

3646
06:23:05,698 --> 06:23:06,599
day.

3647
06:23:06,599 --> 06:23:08,801
2020, the city met the target

3648
06:23:08,801 --> 06:23:11,404
and in 2025 the city continued

3649
06:23:11,404 --> 06:23:20,313
to meet the target.

3650
06:23:20,313 --> 06:23:22,415
By 2028 the city is required to

3651
06:23:22,415 --> 06:23:28,020
meet the rail water standard of

3652
06:23:28,020 --> 06:23:28,654
9.5 gallons per service

3653
06:23:28,654 --> 06:23:30,656
connection per day.

3654
06:23:30,656 --> 06:23:34,994
That is gdpscd.

3655
06:23:34,994 --> 06:23:36,929
The standard was calculated

3656
06:23:36,929 --> 06:23:38,864
using the economic model

3657
06:23:38,864 --> 06:23:40,933
developed by the state water

3658
06:23:40,933 --> 06:23:41,534
board.

3659
06:23:41,534 --> 06:23:44,337
The city currently has a water

3660
06:23:44,337 --> 06:23:48,808
loss value of 19.6 gallons per

3661
06:23:48,808 --> 06:23:50,343
service connection per day.

3662
06:23:50,343 --> 06:23:53,079
The city is actively working on

3663
06:23:53,079 --> 06:23:55,748
improving the water distribution

3664
06:23:55,748 --> 06:23:57,750
system in order to meet the

3665
06:23:57,750 --> 06:24:03,890
target by 2028.

3666
06:24:03,890 --> 06:24:07,827
The slide shows the city’s water

3667
06:24:07,827 --> 06:24:09,262
supply liable.

3668
06:24:09,262 --> 06:24:11,430
The city currently diverts

3669
06:24:11,430 --> 06:24:15,601
untreated surface water from the

3670
06:24:15,601 --> 06:24:17,637
san joaquin river to the

3671
06:24:17,637 --> 06:24:19,772
brackish water desalination

3672
06:24:19,772 --> 06:24:21,641
plant for treatment and potable

3673
06:24:21,641 --> 06:24:22,308
use.

3674
06:24:22,308 --> 06:24:24,710
That plant has a permitted

3675
06:24:24,710 --> 06:24:26,579
treated capacity of

3676
06:24:26,579 --> 06:24:28,147
6,000,000 gallons per day.

3677
06:24:28,147 --> 06:24:30,483
The city also purchased and

3678
06:24:30,483 --> 06:24:33,686
treated surface water from the

3679
06:24:33,686 --> 06:24:34,854
contract costa water district

3680
06:24:34,854 --> 06:24:40,459
which is delivered through the

3681
06:24:40,459 --> 06:24:41,761
contra costa canal under

3682
06:24:41,761 --> 06:24:45,731
agreement with ccwd, the city

3683
06:24:45,731 --> 06:24:47,733
can purchase 10,000,000 gallons

3684
06:24:47,733 --> 06:24:51,337
of treated water to supplement

3685
06:24:51,337 --> 06:24:52,772
existing water supply.

3686
06:24:52,772 --> 06:24:56,375
The city received recycled water

3687
06:24:56,375 --> 06:24:59,946
from the delta diablo plant for

3688
06:24:59,946 --> 06:25:01,914
landscape irrigation.

3689
06:25:01,914 --> 06:25:04,584
As part of the urban water

3690
06:25:04,584 --> 06:25:06,986
management plan, the city has to

3691
06:25:06,986 --> 06:25:10,356
complete the water shortage

3692
06:25:10,356 --> 06:25:10,756
contingency plan.

3693
06:25:10,756 --> 06:25:13,759
The plan is to identify and

3694
06:25:13,759 --> 06:25:17,430
respond to potential water

3695
06:25:17,430 --> 06:25:17,763
shortage.

3696
06:25:17,763 --> 06:25:20,032
Here on the slide shows six

3697
06:25:20,032 --> 06:25:22,201
storage levels, level one is the

3698
06:25:22,201 --> 06:25:25,371
city has to reduce usage 10%,

3699
06:25:25,371 --> 06:25:28,841
level two up to 20% and so on.

3700
06:25:28,841 --> 06:25:30,643
There are some actions in which

3701
06:25:30,643 --> 06:25:33,746
the city can take and that is to

3702
06:25:33,746 --> 06:25:36,549
limit landscape irrigation,

3703
06:25:36,549 --> 06:25:38,484
limit filling of swimming pools

3704
06:25:38,484 --> 06:25:42,488
or maybe restriction for water

3705
06:25:42,488 --> 06:25:44,724
features.

3706
06:25:44,724 --> 06:25:49,829
The city has implemented the

3707
06:25:49,829 --> 06:25:52,865
following demand management

3708
06:25:52,865 --> 06:25:55,167
measures to conserve water.

3709
06:25:55,167 --> 06:25:57,737
First the water prevention

3710
06:25:57,737 --> 06:26:00,406
ordinance which the city has

3711
06:26:00,406 --> 06:26:00,640
adopted.

3712
06:26:00,640 --> 06:26:04,877
There is water metering,

3713
06:26:04,877 --> 06:26:08,281
conservation pricingpublic

3714
06:26:08,281 --> 06:26:11,183
education outreach.

3715
06:26:11,183 --> 06:26:14,320
The city has a program

3716
06:26:14,320 --> 06:26:16,389
coordinator to conserve water.

3717
06:26:16,389 --> 06:26:20,459
There are additional dms offered

3718
06:26:20,459 --> 06:26:32,405
in which the city implements.

3719
06:26:32,405 --> 06:26:36,475

>> I’ll move to approve.

3762
06:28:08,034 --> 06:28:10,403
>> councilmember rocha moves.

3763
06:28:10,403 --> 06:28:13,806
>> torres-walker seconds.

3764
06:28:13,806 --> 06:28:15,341
On the question, roll call?

3765
06:28:15,341 --> 06:28:17,777
>> councilmember wilson is

3766
06:28:17,777 --> 06:28:19,111
absent.

3767
06:28:19,111 --> 06:28:20,479
Councilmember rocha?

3768
06:28:20,479 --> 06:28:24,483
Councilmember torres-walker?

3769
06:28:24,483 --> 06:28:28,187
Mayor pro-tem freitas?

3770
06:28:28,187 --> 06:28:28,688
Mayor bernal?

3771
06:28:28,688 --> 06:28:31,424
Motion passes, 4-0.

3772
06:28:31,424 --> 06:28:34,160
>> sorry you had to wait so long

3773
06:28:34,160 --> 06:28:36,596
to make the presentation.

3774
06:28:36,596 --> 06:28:41,334
We’ll now move to item nine,

3775
06:28:41,334 --> 06:28:53,279
authorizing city manager to

3776
06:28:53,279 --> 06:28:55,815
authorizing the city manager to

3777
06:28:55,815 --> 06:28:58,851
execute a sole source agreement

3778
06:28:58,851 --> 06:29:03,389
with axon enterprise inc. For

3779
06:29:03,389 --> 06:29:04,156
automated license plate

3780
06:29:04,156 --> 06:29:04,457
recognition.

3781
06:29:04,457 --> 06:29:06,993
>> staff is asking the council

3782
06:29:06,993 --> 06:29:10,363
to authorize a 49 month sole

3783
06:29:10,363 --> 06:29:12,632
source agreement with axon

3784
06:29:12,632 --> 06:29:16,335
enterprise, not to exceed

3785
06:29:16,335 --> 06:29:17,069
61,688.

3786
06:29:17,069 --> 06:29:20,006
This agreement has three main

3787
06:29:20,006 --> 06:29:20,306
components.

3788
06:29:20,306 --> 06:29:25,378
55 fixed axon out posts,

3789
06:29:25,378 --> 06:29:26,379
automated license plate reader

3790
06:29:26,379 --> 06:29:28,047
locations.

3791
06:29:28,047 --> 06:29:29,215
The antioch police department

3792
06:29:29,215 --> 06:29:32,852
currently operates a separate --

3793
06:29:32,852 --> 06:29:41,694
two separate systems.

3794
06:29:41,694 --> 06:29:43,029
Motorola is decommissioning the

3795
06:29:43,029 --> 06:29:43,596
platform.

3796
06:29:43,596 --> 06:29:45,197
Some of the equipment is

3797
06:29:45,197 --> 06:29:47,466
offline, not working.

3798
06:29:47,466 --> 06:29:50,870
This proposal consolidated and

3799
06:29:50,870 --> 06:29:54,840
replaces both fixes into one

3800
06:29:54,840 --> 06:29:55,074
network.

3801
06:29:55,074 --> 06:29:57,743
The second component of this

3802
06:29:57,743 --> 06:30:00,913
agreement is the addition of

3803
06:30:00,913 --> 06:30:03,983
additional dash camera systems

3804
06:30:03,983 --> 06:30:07,119
with automated license plate

3805
06:30:07,119 --> 06:30:09,055
reader capability.

3806
06:30:09,055 --> 06:30:13,125
We already use axon branded dash

3807
06:30:13,125 --> 06:30:15,194
cameras and the six additional

3808
06:30:15,194 --> 06:30:17,430
systems are for additional

3809
06:30:17,430 --> 06:30:19,899
patrol vehicles, the fleet has

3810
06:30:19,899 --> 06:30:20,666
expanded recently.

3811
06:30:20,666 --> 06:30:23,502
We need to purchase more dash

3812
06:30:23,502 --> 06:30:23,736
cameras.

3813
06:30:23,736 --> 06:30:25,905
We want to make sure they use

3814
06:30:25,905 --> 06:30:28,341
the same platform and have the

3815
06:30:28,341 --> 06:30:29,976
same capabilities as the rest of

3816
06:30:29,976 --> 06:30:30,710
the fleet.

3817
06:30:30,710 --> 06:30:32,545
The third part of the agreement

3818
06:30:32,545 --> 06:30:35,648
is the addition of 120 licenses

3819
06:30:35,648 --> 06:30:40,887
for axon ai assistant which is a

3820
06:30:40,887 --> 06:30:43,356
feature within the body warn

3821
06:30:43,356 --> 06:30:45,491
cameras that the officers have,

3822
06:30:45,491 --> 06:30:46,859
that I have.

3823
06:30:46,859 --> 06:30:49,061
The ai assistant is going to

3824
06:30:49,061 --> 06:30:52,932
give officers quick access to

3825
06:30:52,932 --> 06:30:54,934
language -- two way language

3826
06:30:54,934 --> 06:30:56,269
translation in 50 languages.

3827
06:30:56,269 --> 06:30:58,871
That supports, as council knows,

3828
06:30:58,871 --> 06:31:00,373
that supports the language

3829
06:31:00,373 --> 06:31:04,510
access plan under the doj

3830
06:31:04,510 --> 06:31:06,112
memorandum of agreement to

3831
06:31:06,112 --> 06:31:09,315
expand to the community we

3832
06:31:09,315 --> 06:31:09,749
serve.

3833
06:31:09,749 --> 06:31:12,151
It’s an assistive tool.

3834
06:31:12,151 --> 06:31:15,488
It doesn’t replace qualified

3835
06:31:15,488 --> 06:31:15,821
interpreters.

3836
06:31:15,821 --> 06:31:19,425
Adp has used axon for years for

3837
06:31:19,425 --> 06:31:21,827
body warn cameras, and they

3838
06:31:21,827 --> 06:31:25,031
remain evidenced where we store

3839
06:31:25,031 --> 06:31:27,934
some of the most digital

3840
06:31:27,934 --> 06:31:28,200
evidence.

3841
06:31:28,200 --> 06:31:29,735
This proposal builds on the

3842
06:31:29,735 --> 06:31:32,405
existing environment.

3843
06:31:32,405 --> 06:31:34,874
Instead of another audit and

3844
06:31:34,874 --> 06:31:35,608
support system.

3845
06:31:35,608 --> 06:31:37,476
Another part of my presentation,

3846
06:31:37,476 --> 06:31:40,880
I want to talk about why license

3847
06:31:40,880 --> 06:31:42,848
plate reader technology matters

3848
06:31:42,848 --> 06:31:45,918
in antioch.

3849
06:31:45,918 --> 06:31:47,420
Vehicles are central to a large

3850
06:31:47,420 --> 06:31:49,522
part of crime we investigate.

3851
06:31:49,522 --> 06:31:52,158
More than 75% of crimes

3852
06:31:52,158 --> 06:31:55,962
committed each year involve

3853
06:31:55,962 --> 06:31:56,696
motor vehicles.

3854
06:31:56,696 --> 06:31:59,498
That is consistent with what we

3855
06:31:59,498 --> 06:32:00,800
see locally.

3856
06:32:00,800 --> 06:32:05,171
Part of shooting, robberies, hit

3857
06:32:05,171 --> 06:32:07,540
and run collisions, organized

3858
06:32:07,540 --> 06:32:11,310
theft, side shows and serious

3859
06:32:11,310 --> 06:32:12,211
investigations.

3860
06:32:12,211 --> 06:32:14,947
A witness may have a partial

3861
06:32:14,947 --> 06:32:16,082
license plate, vehicle

3862
06:32:16,082 --> 06:32:17,750
description or direction of

3863
06:32:17,750 --> 06:32:19,418
travel, but the license plate

3864
06:32:19,418 --> 06:32:21,721
system can turn the limited into

3865
06:32:21,721 --> 06:32:23,990
a focused lead still useful.

3866
06:32:23,990 --> 06:32:26,392
We went back to look at our

3867
06:32:26,392 --> 06:32:28,694
statistics, specifically

3868
06:32:28,694 --> 06:32:29,061
antioch.

3869
06:32:29,061 --> 06:32:31,330
We have had license plate

3870
06:32:31,330 --> 06:32:32,832
readers in antioch several

3871
06:32:32,832 --> 06:32:33,599
years.

3872
06:32:33,599 --> 06:32:36,202
Since august last year, the

3873
06:32:36,202 --> 06:32:39,272
existing system has led to "at

3874
06:32:39,272 --> 06:32:40,873
least" I believe the statistics

3875
06:32:40,873 --> 06:32:42,375
are more, we are trying to

3876
06:32:42,375 --> 06:32:44,043
improve the tracking system, but

3877
06:32:44,043 --> 06:32:47,380
we have located at least 42

3878
06:32:47,380 --> 06:32:50,116
stolen vehicles with the help of

3879
06:32:50,116 --> 06:32:53,352
automated license plate reader

3880
06:32:53,352 --> 06:32:53,953
technology.

3881
06:32:53,953 --> 06:32:57,456
23 of those have led to arrests,

3882
06:32:57,456 --> 06:32:59,425
and since august of last year we

3883
06:32:59,425 --> 06:33:02,361
have had 19 significant

3884
06:33:02,361 --> 06:33:03,596
documented investigative assists

3885
06:33:03,596 --> 06:33:07,500
as a result of automated license

3886
06:33:07,500 --> 06:33:09,902
plate reader technology, a

3887
06:33:09,902 --> 06:33:10,503
conservative count.

3888
06:33:10,503 --> 06:33:12,104
These are antioch results.

3889
06:33:12,104 --> 06:33:15,641
They are not vendor produced.

3890
06:33:15,641 --> 06:33:18,477
I’ll give a couple of examples,

3891
06:33:18,477 --> 06:33:20,179
last year a fatal collision

3892
06:33:20,179 --> 06:33:25,718
where ar license plate was

3893
06:33:25,718 --> 06:33:26,752
captured before the collision

3894
06:33:26,752 --> 06:33:29,155
and there was no other camera

3895
06:33:29,155 --> 06:33:32,058
that captured the plate in the

3896
06:33:32,058 --> 06:33:32,558
vicinity.

3897
06:33:32,558 --> 06:33:34,794
There was a piece of evidence

3898
06:33:34,794 --> 06:33:36,963
that led to the apprehension of

3899
06:33:36,963 --> 06:33:37,496
the responsible person.

3900
06:33:37,496 --> 06:33:39,498
There was a shooting

3901
06:33:39,498 --> 06:33:41,267
investigation at sycamore square

3902
06:33:41,267 --> 06:33:43,202
this year following a shot

3903
06:33:43,202 --> 06:33:45,705
spotter investigation, obtaining

3904
06:33:45,705 --> 06:33:46,706
a license plate from

3905
06:33:46,706 --> 06:33:47,073
surveillance.

3906
06:33:47,073 --> 06:33:50,776
They used the technology to

3907
06:33:50,776 --> 06:33:52,245
locate the vehicle resulting in

3908
06:33:52,245 --> 06:33:54,180
two arrests and the recovery of

3909
06:33:54,180 --> 06:33:54,847
a firearm.

3910
06:33:54,847 --> 06:33:57,416
This is a good example of how

3911
06:33:57,416 --> 06:34:00,086
license plate readers work with

3912
06:34:00,086 --> 06:34:00,353
evidence.

3913
06:34:00,353 --> 06:34:01,754
Surveillance produces the plate

3914
06:34:01,754 --> 06:34:05,725
and alpr turns it into an

3915
06:34:05,725 --> 06:34:09,328
investigative lead.

3916
06:34:09,328 --> 06:34:10,997
This is a investigative tool.

3917
06:34:10,997 --> 06:34:13,666
It helps identify vehicle,

3918
06:34:13,666 --> 06:34:16,969
reconstruct movements and

3919
06:34:16,969 --> 06:34:19,372
timelines and corroborate or

3920
06:34:19,372 --> 06:34:21,741
challenge statements and direct

3921
06:34:21,741 --> 06:34:22,775
investigators toward evidence.

3922
06:34:22,775 --> 06:34:24,610
There is a lot of discussion

3923
06:34:24,610 --> 06:34:27,046
about technology, specifically

3924
06:34:27,046 --> 06:34:29,015
governance and sharing,

3925
06:34:29,015 --> 06:34:30,583
especially sharing with other

3926
06:34:30,583 --> 06:34:32,218
agencies or federal entities.

3927
06:34:32,218 --> 06:34:34,854
I want to discuss that clearly

3928
06:34:34,854 --> 06:34:35,254
here.

3929
06:34:35,254 --> 06:34:37,156
This discussion makes data

3930
06:34:37,156 --> 06:34:38,357
governance an important part of

3931
06:34:38,357 --> 06:34:39,325
the discussion.

3932
06:34:39,325 --> 06:34:41,761
The value of the technology does

3933
06:34:41,761 --> 06:34:44,697
not eliminate privacy concerns

3934
06:34:44,697 --> 06:34:45,364
the public has.

3935
06:34:45,364 --> 06:34:47,967
The system has to be controlled,

3936
06:34:47,967 --> 06:34:50,369
and used for legitimate law

3937
06:34:50,369 --> 06:34:50,970
enforcement purposes.

3938
06:34:50,970 --> 06:34:53,239
Under the existing policy for

3939
06:34:53,239 --> 06:34:55,942
operating rules, searches must

3940
06:34:55,942 --> 06:34:58,210
be tied to a police case and

3941
06:34:58,210 --> 06:35:01,747
have a specific investigative

3942
06:35:01,747 --> 06:35:01,981
reason.

3943
06:35:01,981 --> 06:35:03,449
Searches are logged and subject

3944
06:35:03,449 --> 06:35:06,719
to audit, and a license plate

3945
06:35:06,719 --> 06:35:09,088
reader alert has to be verified

3946
06:35:09,088 --> 06:35:10,790
before action is taken based

3947
06:35:10,790 --> 06:35:12,058
solely on the alert.

3948
06:35:12,058 --> 06:35:17,697
The axon vehicle architecture is

3949
06:35:17,697 --> 06:35:18,998
different from the model we have

3950
06:35:18,998 --> 06:35:21,734
currently with the two existing

3951
06:35:21,734 --> 06:35:21,968
systems.

3952
06:35:21,968 --> 06:35:24,136
Axon governance materials have

3953
06:35:24,136 --> 06:35:26,906
sharing off by default.

3954
06:35:26,906 --> 06:35:28,341
Antioch would have to establish

3955
06:35:28,341 --> 06:35:30,776
a specific sharing relationship

3956
06:35:30,776 --> 06:35:33,746
with another agency, one-to-one

3957
06:35:33,746 --> 06:35:34,247
relation.

3958
06:35:34,247 --> 06:35:36,682
It’s not an opt into a network

3959
06:35:36,682 --> 06:35:38,384
which is how the current system

3960
06:35:38,384 --> 06:35:39,051
operates.

3961
06:35:39,051 --> 06:35:40,920
If someone wanted to share data

3962
06:35:40,920 --> 06:35:43,422
with antioch, it would require

3963
06:35:43,422 --> 06:35:46,792
specific action on both sides to

3964
06:35:46,792 --> 06:35:48,527
initiate the sharing.

3965
06:35:48,527 --> 06:35:50,897
Our agency would have to accept

3966
06:35:50,897 --> 06:35:52,598
the sharing request and the

3967
06:35:52,598 --> 06:35:53,733
other agency would have to

3968
06:35:53,733 --> 06:35:55,368
accept the request.

3969
06:35:55,368 --> 06:35:58,371
That relationship is visible,

3970
06:35:58,371 --> 06:36:00,206
logged and revokable.

3971
06:36:00,206 --> 06:36:03,809
Antioch uses axon for body warn

3972
06:36:03,809 --> 06:36:06,012
camera, dash cam and data

3973
06:36:06,012 --> 06:36:07,480
repository and the system would

3974
06:36:07,480 --> 06:36:09,749
operate in the same controlled

3975
06:36:09,749 --> 06:36:11,250
environment with common

3976
06:36:11,250 --> 06:36:12,485
permissions, auditing and

3977
06:36:12,485 --> 06:36:14,120
support.

3978
06:36:14,120 --> 06:36:18,024
That summarizes what we are

3979
06:36:18,024 --> 06:36:22,261
requested, why it is needed and

3980
06:36:22,261 --> 06:36:25,498
I have several more examples if

3981
06:36:25,498 --> 06:36:27,433
council is interested.

3982
06:36:27,433 --> 06:36:29,936
We have numerous case solves

3983
06:36:29,936 --> 06:36:33,372
with this technology.

3984
06:36:33,372 --> 06:36:35,575
Very serious violent crime

3985
06:36:35,575 --> 06:36:37,476
investigations, hit and runs.

3986
06:36:37,476 --> 06:36:42,081
The first place investigators go to help.

3987
06:36:42,081 --> 06:36:43,683
I wanted to mention that since

3988
06:36:43,683 --> 06:36:47,320
we expanded the network, auto

3989
06:36:47,320 --> 06:36:52,391
theft in about I don’t antioch,

3990
06:36:52,391 --> 06:36:53,292
down 44%.

3991
06:36:53,292 --> 06:36:55,294
With that, I turn it over to

3992
06:36:55,294 --> 06:36:55,528
council.

3993
06:36:55,528 --> 06:36:57,563
I’m sure you have questions.

3994
06:36:57,563 --> 06:37:00,099
>> pro-tem: councilmembers?

3995
06:37:00,099 --> 06:37:02,802
Questions or comments?

3996
06:37:02,802 --> 06:37:03,202
Mr. Mayor?

3997
06:37:03,202 --> 06:37:05,404
>> mayor ron bernal: thank you

3998
06:37:05,404 --> 06:37:10,676
for your presentation.

3999
06:37:10,676 --> 06:37:12,712
There was an item that came

4000
06:37:12,712 --> 06:37:14,513
before us several months ago for

4001
06:37:14,513 --> 06:37:17,917
community cameras, correct?

4002
06:37:17,917 --> 06:37:20,820
>> yeah, I believe lieutenant

4003
06:37:20,820 --> 06:37:23,022
whitacre presented to council on

4004
06:37:23,022 --> 06:37:24,357
community cameras.

4005
06:37:24,357 --> 06:37:27,460
This request is specific to

4006
06:37:27,460 --> 06:37:30,162
license plate reader cameras.

4007
06:37:30,162 --> 06:37:32,431
>> mayor ron bernal: how many

4008
06:37:32,431 --> 06:37:34,433
will be within the vehicles?

4009
06:37:34,433 --> 06:37:37,103
>> we outfit every marked patrol

4010
06:37:37,103 --> 06:37:41,407
car with a dash camera, and

4011
06:37:41,407 --> 06:37:45,211
every dash camera will be

4012
06:37:45,211 --> 06:37:47,680
enabled for license plate reader

4013
06:37:47,680 --> 06:37:48,514
abilities.

4014
06:37:48,514 --> 06:37:50,650
In addition to that, we have

4015
06:37:50,650 --> 06:37:52,985
several strategic locations in

4016
06:37:52,985 --> 06:37:55,721
the city that operate two

4017
06:37:55,721 --> 06:37:58,858
systems, the flock and motorola

4018
06:37:58,858 --> 06:38:00,259
systems.

4019
06:38:00,259 --> 06:38:02,929
It’s not the best practice to

4020
06:38:02,929 --> 06:38:04,230
use different systems, so we

4021
06:38:04,230 --> 06:38:06,732
want to consolidate under one

4022
06:38:06,732 --> 06:38:08,601
platform, that includes 55

4023
06:38:08,601 --> 06:38:10,903
locations in antioch that over

4024
06:38:10,903 --> 06:38:13,739
the next two years with this

4025
06:38:13,739 --> 06:38:14,040
technology.

4026
06:38:14,040 --> 06:38:19,645
>> mayor ron bernal: so, my

4027
06:38:19,645 --> 06:38:20,713
question, they’ll be implemented

4028
06:38:20,713 --> 06:38:23,115
or installed over the next two

4029
06:38:23,115 --> 06:38:23,883
years, then?

4030
06:38:23,883 --> 06:38:25,885
They can’t be done sooner than

4031
06:38:25,885 --> 06:38:26,419
that?

4032
06:38:26,419 --> 06:38:29,021
>> we can certainly check with

4033
06:38:29,021 --> 06:38:31,557
axe on to see what the timeline

4034
06:38:31,557 --> 06:38:35,995
is, but it does require -- they

4035
06:38:35,995 --> 06:38:38,064
have other folks ahead of us in

4036
06:38:38,064 --> 06:38:38,898
line.

4037
06:38:38,898 --> 06:38:40,199
Essentially, there are other

4038
06:38:40,199 --> 06:38:41,968
communities in the bay area

4039
06:38:41,968 --> 06:38:43,803
signing on to their platform.

4040
06:38:43,803 --> 06:38:45,338
We basically fall in line with

4041
06:38:45,338 --> 06:38:46,105
them.

4042
06:38:46,105 --> 06:38:48,908
I can certainly ask, mr. Mayor.

4043
06:38:48,908 --> 06:38:52,878
>> my questions, also based upon

4044
06:38:52,878 --> 06:38:54,981
the pay schedule, we won’t be

4045
06:38:54,981 --> 06:38:56,949
paying for something we haven’t

4046
06:38:56,949 --> 06:38:57,783
received yet, correct?

4047
06:38:57,783 --> 06:39:01,254
>> it’s a multiyear contract.

4048
06:39:01,254 --> 06:39:03,623
I’m glad you brought that up.

4049
06:39:03,623 --> 06:39:08,361
We are currently paying $99,000

4050
06:39:08,361 --> 06:39:10,596
for the cameras we currently

4051
06:39:10,596 --> 06:39:11,364
have.

4052
06:39:11,364 --> 06:39:15,268
Under this proposal, 101,500 per

4053
06:39:15,268 --> 06:39:17,637
year over the next 49 months

4054
06:39:17,637 --> 06:39:21,374
gives us 55 cameras under the

4055
06:39:21,374 --> 06:39:22,275
axon platform.

4056
06:39:22,275 --> 06:39:24,443
To put it simply, it’s a

4057
06:39:24,443 --> 06:39:26,612
difference of $2,500 more per

4058
06:39:26,612 --> 06:39:28,948
year than using flock alone and

4059
06:39:28,948 --> 06:39:30,950
we have two symptoms, one of

4060
06:39:30,950 --> 06:39:34,186
which is being decommissioned.

4061
06:39:34,186 --> 06:39:37,156
2500 more per year but we are

4062
06:39:37,156 --> 06:39:38,758
getting more cameras out of it.

4063
06:39:38,758 --> 06:39:42,562
>> mayor ron bernal: we are

4064
06:39:42,562 --> 06:39:44,263
not going -- we are going to pay

4065
06:39:44,263 --> 06:39:46,999
as the cameras come on line.

4066
06:39:46,999 --> 06:39:49,535
If it takes one year, we’ll pay

4067
06:39:49,535 --> 06:39:52,138
more than if it took three

4068
06:39:52,138 --> 06:39:52,505
years, correct?

4069
06:39:52,505 --> 06:39:56,275
>> it’s an all encompassing

4070
06:39:56,275 --> 06:39:58,344
agreement, not just for the

4071
06:39:58,344 --> 06:40:00,713
cameras, but ai translation and

4072
06:40:00,713 --> 06:40:01,347
dash cameras.

4073
06:40:01,347 --> 06:40:02,982
That’s the package for all three

4074
06:40:02,982 --> 06:40:05,384
items over the next four years.

4075
06:40:05,384 --> 06:40:08,154
I will clarify to ensure that we

4076
06:40:08,154 --> 06:40:10,690
are not paying for something we

4077
06:40:10,690 --> 06:40:13,759
are not going to receive.

4078
06:40:13,759 --> 06:40:15,761
It’s broken up over four year.

4079
06:40:15,761 --> 06:40:17,463
>> mayor ron bernal: the

4080
06:40:17,463 --> 06:40:19,131
information, you have given us

4081
06:40:19,131 --> 06:40:22,468
data about how this is served

4082
06:40:22,468 --> 06:40:24,270
recovering stolen vehicles and

4083
06:40:24,270 --> 06:40:26,539
arrests and things like that.

4084
06:40:26,539 --> 06:40:28,474
Will the community be able to

4085
06:40:28,474 --> 06:40:30,276
access information about the

4086
06:40:30,276 --> 06:40:31,944
effectiveness of the

4087
06:40:31,944 --> 06:40:32,245
technology?

4088
06:40:32,245 --> 06:40:35,114
>> yeah, so we were pretty

4089
06:40:35,114 --> 06:40:37,750
forward thinking and transparent

4090
06:40:37,750 --> 06:40:39,118
when it came to flock.

4091
06:40:39,118 --> 06:40:41,187
Some of the questions that came

4092
06:40:41,187 --> 06:40:44,423
about with the flock platform in

4093
06:40:44,423 --> 06:40:48,761
other communities, we have the

4094
06:40:48,761 --> 06:40:49,562
transparency side that the

4095
06:40:49,562 --> 06:40:51,397
public can access now to see

4096
06:40:51,397 --> 06:40:53,699
what our data governance

4097
06:40:53,699 --> 06:40:55,801
policies are, how long we hold

4098
06:40:55,801 --> 06:40:58,070
on to data, how many inquiries

4099
06:40:58,070 --> 06:41:01,240
are made by other agencies.

4100
06:41:01,240 --> 06:41:03,209
We intend to do that also.

4101
06:41:03,209 --> 06:41:04,944
I talked to axon today.

4102
06:41:04,944 --> 06:41:08,214
We can public our statistics,

4103
06:41:08,214 --> 06:41:09,916
policies on a forward looking

4104
06:41:09,916 --> 06:41:11,517
website that the public can

4105
06:41:11,517 --> 06:41:11,784
access.

4106
06:41:11,784 --> 06:41:12,852
>> mayor ron bernal: thank

4107
06:41:12,852 --> 06:41:13,352
you.

4108
06:41:13,352 --> 06:41:15,521
I appreciate that.

4109
06:41:15,521 --> 06:41:19,725
>> pro-tem: councilmember

4110
06:41:19,725 --> 06:41:20,893
torres-walker?

4111
06:41:20,893 --> 06:41:23,229
>> councilmember torres-walker.

4112
06:41:23,229 --> 06:41:25,765
Thank if you you for the

4113
06:41:25,765 --> 06:41:27,266
presentation.

4114
06:41:27,266 --> 06:41:28,901
I’m happy to hear there are more

4115
06:41:28,901 --> 06:41:31,704
in the city rolling out.

4116
06:41:31,704 --> 06:41:38,344
My question is to -- there’s

4117
06:41:38,344 --> 06:41:41,614
flock, motorola, now axon.

4118
06:41:41,614 --> 06:41:43,482
Is there a plan to consolidate

4119
06:41:43,482 --> 06:41:46,819
and move away from even flock

4120
06:41:46,819 --> 06:41:47,053
cameras?

4121
06:41:47,053 --> 06:41:49,922
>> that’s a great question.

4122
06:41:49,922 --> 06:41:51,490
That’s this plan.

4123
06:41:51,490 --> 06:41:53,926
We would like to move away from

4124
06:41:53,926 --> 06:41:55,561
two different systems and live

4125
06:41:55,561 --> 06:41:56,729
in one system.

4126
06:41:56,729 --> 06:41:58,898
One of the things we like about

4127
06:41:58,898 --> 06:42:01,601
the axon system, we own our own

4128
06:42:01,601 --> 06:42:01,801
data.

4129
06:42:01,801 --> 06:42:04,637
We are not putting it into a

4130
06:42:04,637 --> 06:42:06,339
cloud and sharing it with a

4131
06:42:06,339 --> 06:42:09,709
network of agencies, and we like

4132
06:42:09,709 --> 06:42:11,244
the opt-in policies.

4133
06:42:11,244 --> 06:42:14,213
We like that there is no back

4134
06:42:14,213 --> 06:42:16,315
door federal sharing, and a lot

4135
06:42:16,315 --> 06:42:17,483
of the direction that the state

4136
06:42:17,483 --> 06:42:21,153
is going in with the pending

4137
06:42:21,153 --> 06:42:26,993
senate bill 1013, I believe.

4138
06:42:26,993 --> 06:42:28,828
As council likely knows, there

4139
06:42:28,828 --> 06:42:31,097
is a pending senate bill and a

4140
06:42:31,097 --> 06:42:33,032
lot of requirements of the

4141
06:42:33,032 --> 06:42:36,302
senate bill -- it passed third

4142
06:42:36,302 --> 06:42:37,870
reading at the assembly.

4143
06:42:37,870 --> 06:42:41,474
The axon system is already

4144
06:42:41,474 --> 06:42:41,908
capable.

4145
06:42:41,908 --> 06:42:43,876
We are compliant with how it’s

4146
06:42:43,876 --> 06:42:45,878
being structured with the

4147
06:42:45,878 --> 06:42:46,545
system.

4148
06:42:46,545 --> 06:42:48,748
We don’t want to live in

4149
06:42:48,748 --> 06:42:49,282
multiple systems.

4150
06:42:49,282 --> 06:42:51,284
We want everything in one system

4151
06:42:51,284 --> 06:42:54,186
with the same training, same

4152
06:42:54,186 --> 06:42:56,455
platform, same auditing

4153
06:42:56,455 --> 06:42:57,890
abilities, instead of different

4154
06:42:57,890 --> 06:43:00,426
systems, things get lost in the

4155
06:43:00,426 --> 06:43:00,660
shuffle.

4156
06:43:00,660 --> 06:43:04,864
>> easier to track and

4157
06:43:04,864 --> 06:43:06,065
consolidate across the board.

4158
06:43:06,065 --> 06:43:08,801
Happy to hear we are moving away

4159
06:43:08,801 --> 06:43:09,669
from flock systems.

4160
06:43:09,669 --> 06:43:12,505
They are not as secure as

4161
06:43:12,505 --> 06:43:14,774
concerns have come from the

4162
06:43:14,774 --> 06:43:15,207
public.

4163
06:43:15,207 --> 06:43:17,343
Yes, senate bill 1013 for the

4164
06:43:17,343 --> 06:43:19,478
public that does not know, this

4165
06:43:19,478 --> 06:43:23,282
is a california senate bill that

4166
06:43:23,282 --> 06:43:26,786
is moving through the senate now

4167
06:43:26,786 --> 06:43:28,521
to address restrictions and

4168
06:43:28,521 --> 06:43:31,057
rules around privacy for license

4169
06:43:31,057 --> 06:43:32,425
plate readers in the state of

4170
06:43:32,425 --> 06:43:33,092
california.

4171
06:43:33,092 --> 06:43:35,795
The intent of the bill is to

4172
06:43:35,795 --> 06:43:39,165
have a 30 day deletion limit for

4173
06:43:39,165 --> 06:43:42,802
license plate reader -- I

4174
06:43:42,802 --> 06:43:44,904
guess -- data that is gathered,

4175
06:43:44,904 --> 06:43:47,373
I’m assuming, and this is

4176
06:43:47,373 --> 06:43:48,574
strictly for public agencies.

4177
06:43:48,574 --> 06:43:50,309
You are saying that this is

4178
06:43:50,309 --> 06:43:51,644
already something that the city

4179
06:43:51,644 --> 06:43:55,648
of antioch is at the forefront

4180
06:43:55,648 --> 06:43:57,083
of being compliant with.

4181
06:43:57,083 --> 06:43:59,785
>> we are at the forefront even

4182
06:43:59,785 --> 06:44:01,921
with the flock system.

4183
06:44:01,921 --> 06:44:03,589
Hopefully, we have not endured

4184
06:44:03,589 --> 06:44:09,395
the level of concern other

4185
06:44:09,395 --> 06:44:09,729
communities.

4186
06:44:09,729 --> 06:44:12,331
Our reader data is 30 days

4187
06:44:12,331 --> 06:44:13,532
currently.

4188
06:44:13,532 --> 06:44:16,869
We have a forward facing

4189
06:44:16,869 --> 06:44:18,271
transparency website.

4190
06:44:18,271 --> 06:44:21,741
We prohibit outside agencies

4191
06:44:21,741 --> 06:44:22,508
querying our system.

4192
06:44:22,508 --> 06:44:25,411
They have to give a verifiable

4193
06:44:25,411 --> 06:44:27,280
criminal investigation,

4194
06:44:27,280 --> 06:44:29,115
reference a police case number.

4195
06:44:29,115 --> 06:44:31,851
We are not sharing with out of

4196
06:44:31,851 --> 06:44:34,887
state entities 6789 entities.

4197
06:44:34,887 --> 06:44:37,290
We don’t share with ice or

4198
06:44:37,290 --> 06:44:38,858
federal government agencies.

4199
06:44:38,858 --> 06:44:41,360
We did that with flock alone.

4200
06:44:41,360 --> 06:44:45,898
The thing we like about axe

4201
06:44:45,898 --> 06:44:48,234
axon, with flock, it’s a network

4202
06:44:48,234 --> 06:44:49,735
at the state level.

4203
06:44:49,735 --> 06:44:52,405
With axon, if they want to share

4204
06:44:52,405 --> 06:44:54,407
data, they have to make a

4205
06:44:54,407 --> 06:44:56,642
specific request, reciprocated

4206
06:44:56,642 --> 06:44:57,410
one-to-one.

4207
06:44:57,410 --> 06:44:59,946
It’s not us opting into a whole

4208
06:44:59,946 --> 06:45:01,681
network.

4209
06:45:01,681 --> 06:45:05,718
The data retention -- we own the

4210
06:45:05,718 --> 06:45:06,185
data.

4211
06:45:06,185 --> 06:45:09,121
Our data is not going to a cloud

4212
06:45:09,121 --> 06:45:10,990
that’s shared with multiple

4213
06:45:10,990 --> 06:45:11,657
agencies.

4214
06:45:11,657 --> 06:45:14,360
All of our scans in antioch live

4215
06:45:14,360 --> 06:45:15,461
and stay in antioch.

4216
06:45:15,461 --> 06:45:17,597
They are not being shared with

4217
06:45:17,597 --> 06:45:18,598
anybody else.

4218
06:45:18,598 --> 06:45:20,566
There are a lot of by design

4219
06:45:20,566 --> 06:45:22,902
features of the axon system that

4220
06:45:22,902 --> 06:45:28,874
put us in compliance if 1030

4221
06:45:28,874 --> 06:45:29,909
passes.

4222
06:45:29,909 --> 06:45:35,448
>> councilmember torres-walker:

4223
06:45:35,448 --> 06:45:44,757
thank you for the information.

4224
06:45:44,757 --> 06:45:46,893
\hthank you for the information.

4225
06:45:44,757 --> 06:45:46,893
I’m excited to see there will be

4226
06:45:46,893 --> 06:45:48,794
ai translation for the peace

4227
06:45:48,794 --> 06:45:50,696
officers in the city.

4228
06:45:50,696 --> 06:45:55,668
I had somebody from atp -- I’m

4229
06:45:55,668 --> 06:45:58,070
stumbling now.

4230
06:45:58,070 --> 06:45:59,839
Atb translate for me between me

4231
06:45:59,839 --> 06:46:02,675
and the community member doing

4232
06:46:02,675 --> 06:46:03,609
national night out.

4233
06:46:03,609 --> 06:46:05,711
It was amazing, and I was like,

4234
06:46:05,711 --> 06:46:07,980
you know, we should all have

4235
06:46:07,980 --> 06:46:10,016
availability to that type of

4236
06:46:10,016 --> 06:46:12,318
technology to communicate with

4237
06:46:12,318 --> 06:46:13,152
residents.

4238
06:46:13,152 --> 06:46:14,387
I’m excited about that as well.

4239
06:46:14,387 --> 06:46:17,123
>> I appreciate the comments.

4240
06:46:17,123 --> 06:46:18,357
It’s really cool.

4241
06:46:18,357 --> 06:46:20,726
They push a button on the side

4242
06:46:20,726 --> 06:46:22,895
of the body warn camera

4243
06:46:22,895 --> 06:46:24,130
activating the assistant and

4244
06:46:24,130 --> 06:46:25,998
tell the assistant what language

4245
06:46:25,998 --> 06:46:27,066
to translate.

4246
06:46:27,066 --> 06:46:29,368
It covers all of the major

4247
06:46:29,368 --> 06:46:32,505
languages that folks speak in

4248
06:46:32,505 --> 06:46:32,738
antioch.

4249
06:46:32,738 --> 06:46:35,341
In a perfect world we would have

4250
06:46:35,341 --> 06:46:37,843
an officer to translate that,

4251
06:46:37,843 --> 06:46:40,846
while we have hired a number of

4252
06:46:40,846 --> 06:46:43,115
bilingual officers over the last

4253
06:46:43,115 --> 06:46:44,584
couple of years, there are times

4254
06:46:44,584 --> 06:46:46,652
the officers are not available

4255
06:46:46,652 --> 06:46:47,420
and waiting on hold.

4256
06:46:47,420 --> 06:46:49,889
I was told the other day that an

4257
06:46:49,889 --> 06:46:53,993
officer needed to speak to a

4258
06:46:53,993 --> 06:46:55,995
translator for an incident and

4259
06:46:55,995 --> 06:46:57,563
the language line had nobody

4260
06:46:57,563 --> 06:46:57,830
available.

4261
06:46:57,830 --> 06:47:00,833
We are not able to communicate

4262
06:47:00,833 --> 06:47:02,401
with that person.

4263
06:47:02,401 --> 06:47:03,736
With this technology, the

4264
06:47:03,736 --> 06:47:05,671
officer will be able to push the

4265
06:47:05,671 --> 06:47:08,908
side of the camera and it will

4266
06:47:08,908 --> 06:47:10,109
translate one-to-one record it

4267
06:47:10,109 --> 06:47:11,177
and retain it.

4268
06:47:11,177 --> 06:47:13,446
I think it will break down

4269
06:47:13,446 --> 06:47:15,381
barriers and make folks want to

4270
06:47:15,381 --> 06:47:16,649
come forward to know they are

4271
06:47:16,649 --> 06:47:19,685
not going to encounter the

4272
06:47:19,685 --> 06:47:20,920
obstacle to speak to and report

4273
06:47:20,920 --> 06:47:22,154
things to police.

4274
06:47:22,154 --> 06:47:24,357
>> so much progress has been

4275
06:47:24,357 --> 06:47:26,525
made you all should be proud and

4276
06:47:26,525 --> 06:47:28,060
we all should be proud.

4277
06:47:28,060 --> 06:47:29,662
We continue to be watching.

4278
06:47:29,662 --> 06:47:30,029
Thank you.

4279
06:47:30,029 --> 06:47:32,265
>> thank you.

4280
06:47:32,265 --> 06:47:34,400
>> pro-tem: any other

4281
06:47:34,400 --> 06:47:35,301
comments?

4282
06:47:35,301 --> 06:47:38,104
>> we have zoom comments.

4283
06:47:38,104 --> 06:47:51,751
Frank sterling.

4284
06:47:51,751 --> 06:47:56,722
We’ll move on to mike.

4285
06:47:56,722 --> 06:47:59,625
See their hands.

4286
06:47:59,625 --> 06:48:04,897
It’s not giving me the option.

4287
06:48:04,897 --> 06:48:30,189
Let me check.

4288
06:48:30,189 --> 06:48:31,691
>> good evening.

4289
06:48:31,691 --> 06:48:34,961
I want today know, like the

4290
06:48:34,961 --> 06:48:37,663
extra cameras that you will be

4291
06:48:37,663 --> 06:48:39,632
putting around, are they only

4292
06:48:39,632 --> 06:48:42,168
going to be in the troubled

4293
06:48:42,168 --> 06:48:45,471
areas, or will they be all over

4294
06:48:45,471 --> 06:48:46,439
the city?

4295
06:48:46,439 --> 06:48:47,773
That’s my only question?

4296
06:48:47,773 --> 06:48:50,209
>> another great question.

4297
06:48:50,209 --> 06:48:53,145
They are in all locations of the

4298
06:48:53,145 --> 06:48:53,779
city.

4299
06:48:53,779 --> 06:48:57,016
We try to cover all of the major

4300
06:48:57,016 --> 06:49:00,219
entry and exit points of town,

4301
06:49:00,219 --> 06:49:02,421
the major thoroughfares.

4302
06:49:02,421 --> 06:49:04,857
We are not concentrating on

4303
06:49:04,857 --> 06:49:10,796
specific neighborhoods.

4304
06:49:10,796 --> 06:49:13,733
>> let’s try this now.

4305
06:49:13,733 --> 06:49:15,868
There we go.

4306
06:49:15,868 --> 06:49:19,305
Okay, mike, you are up.

4307
06:49:19,305 --> 06:49:20,439
You have three minutes.

4308
06:49:20,439 --> 06:49:21,007
Can you hear me?

4309
06:49:21,007 --> 06:49:24,510
>> thank you very much.

4310
06:49:24,510 --> 06:49:24,977
Good evening.

4311
06:49:24,977 --> 06:49:28,014
My name is mike, director of

4312
06:49:28,014 --> 06:49:30,082
research for oakland privacy.

4313
06:49:30,082 --> 06:49:31,484
I urge a no vote.

4314
06:49:31,484 --> 06:49:33,653
The staff report fails to

4315
06:49:33,653 --> 06:49:37,356
provide enough information to

4316
06:49:37,356 --> 06:49:39,091
justify the $660,000.

4317
06:49:39,091 --> 06:49:41,327
The agenda item is for a sole

4318
06:49:41,327 --> 06:49:43,429
source contract with the vendor,

4319
06:49:43,429 --> 06:49:45,364
no comparative bidding process

4320
06:49:45,364 --> 06:49:47,533
as part of the procurement.

4321
06:49:47,533 --> 06:49:51,337
There are others that provide

4322
06:49:51,337 --> 06:49:52,071
such products.

4323
06:49:52,071 --> 06:49:55,474
How can residents be assured

4324
06:49:55,474 --> 06:49:57,410
taxpayer fund are stewarded

4325
06:49:57,410 --> 06:49:58,911
responsibly?

4326
06:49:58,911 --> 06:50:01,047
Motorola is decommissioning the

4327
06:50:01,047 --> 06:50:01,681
platform.

4328
06:50:01,681 --> 06:50:05,484
As a researcher into the use of

4329
06:50:05,484 --> 06:50:08,020
surveillance technology, this is

4330
06:50:08,020 --> 06:50:10,756
highly suspect as law

4331
06:50:10,756 --> 06:50:13,693
enforcement purchase alpr

4332
06:50:13,693 --> 06:50:15,962
surveillance technology from

4333
06:50:15,962 --> 06:50:17,363
motorola.

4334
06:50:17,363 --> 06:50:18,598
The presentation lacked analysis

4335
06:50:18,598 --> 06:50:21,500
of the effectiveness of the

4336
06:50:21,500 --> 06:50:24,403
currently deployed readers.

4337
06:50:24,403 --> 06:50:27,006
In the absence of analysis how

4338
06:50:27,006 --> 06:50:28,674
can members of the city council

4339
06:50:28,674 --> 06:50:30,076
or public know if the expansion

4340
06:50:30,076 --> 06:50:31,944
of the surveillance program is

4341
06:50:31,944 --> 06:50:32,812
justified?

4342
06:50:32,812 --> 06:50:35,581
What criteria was used to access

4343
06:50:35,581 --> 06:50:37,950
the effectiveness of the current

4344
06:50:37,950 --> 06:50:38,918
system.

4345
06:50:38,918 --> 06:50:40,887
How will we know if the

4346
06:50:40,887 --> 06:50:43,923
expansion is effective or not?

4347
06:50:43,923 --> 06:50:46,659
No analysis if whether license

4348
06:50:46,659 --> 06:50:50,196
operate readers had an impact on

4349
06:50:50,196 --> 06:50:50,796
crime.

4350
06:50:50,796 --> 06:50:52,531
Before the police department had

4351
06:50:52,531 --> 06:50:55,368
license plate readers, I would

4352
06:50:55,368 --> 06:50:58,070
hope crimes were being solved.

4353
06:50:58,070 --> 06:51:00,773
Stating auto theft is down 44%

4354
06:51:00,773 --> 06:51:03,242
when crime is down everywhere,

4355
06:51:03,242 --> 06:51:05,678
including places without license

4356
06:51:05,678 --> 06:51:07,713
operate plate readers is not

4357
06:51:07,713 --> 06:51:10,149
useful information.

4358
06:51:10,149 --> 06:51:11,918
The antioch police department

4359
06:51:11,918 --> 06:51:17,723
shares information with 230

4360
06:51:17,723 --> 06:51:20,960
agencies.

4361
06:51:20,960 --> 06:51:22,995
The one to one sharing will

4362
06:51:22,995 --> 06:51:25,031
improve thing, I think that you

4363
06:51:25,031 --> 06:51:26,766
will encounter the same problems

4364
06:51:26,766 --> 06:51:29,602
with axon or any other

4365
06:51:29,602 --> 06:51:30,636
surveillance vendor that you do

4366
06:51:30,636 --> 06:51:32,071
with flock.

4367
06:51:32,071 --> 06:51:34,106
The problem is, these are

4368
06:51:34,106 --> 06:51:34,907
technologies of mass

4369
06:51:34,907 --> 06:51:36,008
surveillance.

4370
06:51:36,008 --> 06:51:38,778
The most of the information

4371
06:51:38,778 --> 06:51:41,647
collected by the cameras is

4372
06:51:41,647 --> 06:51:44,517
people going about normal daily

4373
06:51:44,517 --> 06:51:46,385
business not suspected of or

4374
06:51:46,385 --> 06:51:49,822
charmed with charged with

4375
06:51:49,822 --> 06:51:51,624
crime.

4376
06:51:51,624 --> 06:51:53,459
That information is held for 30

4377
06:51:53,459 --> 06:51:54,193
days.

4378
06:51:54,193 --> 06:51:55,261
Eventually the information is

4379
06:51:55,261 --> 06:51:58,264
going to find its hands into

4380
06:51:58,264 --> 06:51:59,899
people who shouldn’t have access

4381
06:51:59,899 --> 06:52:00,666
to it.

4382
06:52:00,666 --> 06:52:03,769
will be abused same way flock

4383
06:52:03,769 --> 06:52:06,439
is being abused to stock people

4384
06:52:06,439 --> 06:52:08,140
including ex-wives, spouses and

4385
06:52:08,140 --> 06:52:09,709
people the police disagree

4386
06:52:09,709 --> 06:52:10,276
with.

4387
06:52:10,276 --> 06:52:12,345
I urge a no vote on the item.

4388
06:52:12,345 --> 06:52:16,849
Thank you for your time.

4389
06:52:16,849 --> 06:52:19,285
>> clerk: thank you.

4390
06:52:19,285 --> 06:52:20,219
Now, frank sterling.

4391
06:52:20,219 --> 06:52:21,487
Please un-mute.

4392
06:52:21,487 --> 06:52:23,089
You have three minutes.

4393
06:52:23,089 --> 06:52:26,325
>> frank: thank you for the

4394
06:52:26,325 --> 06:52:27,426
previous speaker.

4395
06:52:27,426 --> 06:52:28,895
I’m not as well prepared to

4396
06:52:28,895 --> 06:52:31,364
speak on that but I’m concerned

4397
06:52:31,364 --> 06:52:32,732
about mass surveillance.

4398
06:52:32,732 --> 06:52:34,700
Thank you for being able to

4399
06:52:34,700 --> 06:52:37,436
present these one-to-one sharing

4400
06:52:37,436 --> 06:52:37,670
things.

4401
06:52:37,670 --> 06:52:40,573
I’m learning more about axon as

4402
06:52:40,573 --> 06:52:42,742
you all are, I’m sure.

4403
06:52:42,742 --> 06:52:44,577
One thing I have been following,

4404
06:52:44,577 --> 06:52:45,912
and I have been following it for

4405
06:52:45,912 --> 06:52:47,847
a while is that the abuses have

4406
06:52:47,847 --> 06:52:49,982
been happening where people will

4407
06:52:49,982 --> 06:52:52,518
take advantage of the system.

4408
06:52:52,518 --> 06:52:58,124
Right now, I feel that although

4409
06:52:58,124 --> 06:53:00,960
gp hill is making the attempts

4410
06:53:00,960 --> 06:53:03,262
and the federal oversight and

4411
06:53:03,262 --> 06:53:04,764
steps you talked about tonight

4412
06:53:04,764 --> 06:53:07,600
and thing happening, things are

4413
06:53:07,600 --> 06:53:09,569
changing, there is still room

4414
06:53:09,569 --> 06:53:10,736
for abuse there.

4415
06:53:10,736 --> 06:53:12,772
I know personally that some of

4416
06:53:12,772 --> 06:53:16,075
the officers, you heard my

4417
06:53:16,075 --> 06:53:16,275
story.

4418
06:53:16,275 --> 06:53:19,211
I don’t need to repeat it now,

4419
06:53:19,211 --> 06:53:20,980
being kicked in the face, are

4420
06:53:20,980 --> 06:53:21,681
floating around.

4421
06:53:21,681 --> 06:53:25,484
People that joked about dead

4422
06:53:25,484 --> 06:53:27,119
edwards are still floating

4423
06:53:27,119 --> 06:53:28,588
around in our department.

4424
06:53:28,588 --> 06:53:30,289
I think the possibility of abuse

4425
06:53:30,289 --> 06:53:33,392
is still there.

4426
06:53:33,392 --> 06:53:35,928
And, it’s quite an increase in

4427
06:53:35,928 --> 06:53:36,329
the cameras.

4428
06:53:36,329 --> 06:53:38,998
I don’t know if you noticed, but

4429
06:53:38,998 --> 06:53:42,235
there is a lot of municipalities

4430
06:53:42,235 --> 06:53:44,170
that have reconsidered the

4431
06:53:44,170 --> 06:53:49,141
surveillance system, flock or

4432
06:53:49,141 --> 06:53:50,843
other surveillance systems, and

4433
06:53:50,843 --> 06:53:52,612
again, we do know that the

4434
06:53:52,612 --> 06:53:55,581
abuses have happened, and if we

4435
06:53:55,581 --> 06:53:57,750
look into the future, if we can,

4436
06:53:57,750 --> 06:54:00,219
with our imaginary crystal

4437
06:54:00,219 --> 06:54:03,122
balls, we see other uses of ai

4438
06:54:03,122 --> 06:54:04,891
in mass surveillance and one of

4439
06:54:04,891 --> 06:54:08,361
the things the person before me

4440
06:54:08,361 --> 06:54:09,528
talked about was patterns of

4441
06:54:09,528 --> 06:54:10,630
life.

4442
06:54:10,630 --> 06:54:12,565
That is some of the things I

4443
06:54:12,565 --> 06:54:15,935
have looked into regarding

4444
06:54:15,935 --> 06:54:17,203
volunteering and other things

4445
06:54:17,203 --> 06:54:19,205
that use data in tracking and

4446
06:54:19,205 --> 06:54:20,840
how they use it.

4447
06:54:20,840 --> 06:54:23,342
Basically, they can follow my

4448
06:54:23,342 --> 06:54:24,677
movements through town.

4449
06:54:24,677 --> 06:54:26,846
I can go to dennys.

4450
06:54:26,846 --> 06:54:29,148
Say I go to dennys every tuesday

4451
06:54:29,148 --> 06:54:31,450
and to the bank to do business.

4452
06:54:31,450 --> 06:54:34,554
It starts developing hot spot

4453
06:54:34,554 --> 06:54:35,755
patterns of what you are doing

4454
06:54:35,755 --> 06:54:37,957
and that data becomes trackable

4455
06:54:37,957 --> 06:54:40,359
and they say, we need to

4456
06:54:40,359 --> 06:54:42,094
intercept frank somewhere.

4457
06:54:42,094 --> 06:54:45,598
He’s at dennys every thursday at

4458
06:54:45,598 --> 06:54:48,067
3:00 and he goes to the bank

4459
06:54:48,067 --> 06:54:48,267
after.

4460
06:54:48,267 --> 06:54:50,536
I used that as a simple

4461
06:54:50,536 --> 06:54:50,770
example.

4462
06:54:50,770 --> 06:54:52,638
I know there are precaution

4463
06:54:52,638 --> 06:54:54,807
about not sharing with ice and

4464
06:54:54,807 --> 06:54:56,909
federal agent, but how long do

4465
06:54:56,909 --> 06:54:58,344
we trust that?

4466
06:54:58,344 --> 06:55:00,179
We see where our world has been

4467
06:55:00,179 --> 06:55:02,481
changing lately.

4468
06:55:02,481 --> 06:55:04,150
Maybe we won’t have control over

4469
06:55:04,150 --> 06:55:07,253
who looks at it in the future.

4470
06:55:07,253 --> 06:55:09,722
Maybe it will be in place and

4471
06:55:09,722 --> 06:55:11,657
our safeguards won’t matter

4472
06:55:11,657 --> 06:55:12,892
because the people that want it

4473
06:55:12,892 --> 06:55:14,560
will have the authority to take

4474
06:55:14,560 --> 06:55:15,394
it.

4475
06:55:15,394 --> 06:55:17,964
Thanks for listening to me.

4476
06:55:17,964 --> 06:55:19,832
I’m home listening, doing other

4477
06:55:19,832 --> 06:55:20,666
things.

4478
06:55:20,666 --> 06:55:22,902
I didn’t completely leave you.

4479
06:55:22,902 --> 06:55:25,404
Thanks for hearing me.

4480
06:55:25,404 --> 06:55:28,574
>> clerk: we have no further

4481
06:55:28,574 --> 06:55:28,841
comments.

4482
06:55:28,841 --> 06:55:30,743
>> pro-tem: any comments?

4483
06:55:30,743 --> 06:55:33,779
>> I think there are very

4484
06:55:33,779 --> 06:55:35,081
legitimate questions and

4485
06:55:35,081 --> 06:55:35,848
concerns.

4486
06:55:35,848 --> 06:55:39,952
I want to be clear about so the

4487
06:55:39,952 --> 06:55:41,687
public knows, just kind of about

4488
06:55:41,687 --> 06:55:43,556
the technology.

4489
06:55:43,556 --> 06:55:45,124
I don’t think anyone in the room

4490
06:55:45,124 --> 06:55:49,762
wants to have their movements

4491
06:55:49,762 --> 06:55:53,532
tracked with specificity.

4492
06:55:53,532 --> 06:55:55,368
I don’t think we want to live in

4493
06:55:55,368 --> 06:55:57,136
that type of society.

4494
06:55:57,136 --> 06:55:58,905
I certainly don’t.

4495
06:55:58,905 --> 06:56:00,106
This technology doesn’t track

4496
06:56:00,106 --> 06:56:01,040
people.

4497
06:56:01,040 --> 06:56:04,176
It tracks vehicles.

4498
06:56:04,176 --> 06:56:07,380
It does not maintain a live

4499
06:56:07,380 --> 06:56:09,315
location feed on a person.

4500
06:56:09,315 --> 06:56:12,885
Only an authorized person can

4501
06:56:12,885 --> 06:56:16,055
view when a license plate was

4502
06:56:16,055 --> 06:56:17,757
capturedded and that must have a

4503
06:56:17,757 --> 06:56:18,624
legitimate purpose.

4504
06:56:18,624 --> 06:56:21,193
It’s logged audited and

4505
06:56:21,193 --> 06:56:22,128
tracked.

4506
06:56:22,128 --> 06:56:25,798
Cities that have problems are

4507
06:56:25,798 --> 06:56:28,034
using ambiguous search reasons

4508
06:56:28,034 --> 06:56:30,403
or no reason at all.

4509
06:56:30,403 --> 06:56:32,238
Antioch requires a specific

4510
06:56:32,238 --> 06:56:33,940
case, investigative reason and

4511
06:56:33,940 --> 06:56:35,841
case number.

4512
06:56:35,841 --> 06:56:39,579
We reject requests or inquiries

4513
06:56:39,579 --> 06:56:39,845
ambiguous.

4514
06:56:39,845 --> 06:56:41,747
As far as mass surveillance, the

4515
06:56:41,747 --> 06:56:43,716
system records a plate image,

4516
06:56:43,716 --> 06:56:46,586
vehicle content image and

4517
06:56:46,586 --> 06:56:47,320
vehicle characteristics in the

4518
06:56:47,320 --> 06:56:49,722
time and location of the

4519
06:56:49,722 --> 06:56:50,456
detection.

4520
06:56:50,456 --> 06:56:52,158
Historical searches can be

4521
06:56:52,158 --> 06:56:54,227
useful because they show where a

4522
06:56:54,227 --> 06:56:55,228
vehicle was observed.

4523
06:56:55,228 --> 06:56:57,730
We had a recent, over the last

4524
06:56:57,730 --> 06:57:00,433
weekend on friday, we had a

4525
06:57:00,433 --> 06:57:02,101
major collision on hillcrest

4526
06:57:02,101 --> 06:57:04,437
highway 4 where the pedestrian

4527
06:57:04,437 --> 06:57:06,439
was seriously injured.

4528
06:57:06,439 --> 06:57:08,407
Her condition is quite grave.

4529
06:57:08,407 --> 06:57:10,776
The officers are able to use the

4530
06:57:10,776 --> 06:57:12,345
technology to trace back,

4531
06:57:12,345 --> 06:57:14,013
recently reported in the media

4532
06:57:14,013 --> 06:57:16,148
today, so I’m comfortable

4533
06:57:16,148 --> 06:57:17,016
speaking about it.

4534
06:57:17,016 --> 06:57:19,886
The officers are using

4535
06:57:19,886 --> 06:57:21,787
technology to track the driver’s

4536
06:57:21,787 --> 06:57:22,688
movements and support the

4537
06:57:22,688 --> 06:57:24,357
identification of the driver.

4538
06:57:24,357 --> 06:57:26,626
If this technology had not

4539
06:57:26,626 --> 06:57:27,793
existed, I don’t know that we

4540
06:57:27,793 --> 06:57:32,832
would have had that result.

4541
06:57:32,832 --> 06:57:35,801
I think our technology here that

4542
06:57:35,801 --> 06:57:40,072
we audit it and put knit it in a

4543
06:57:40,072 --> 06:57:41,507
forward facing website for the

4544
06:57:41,507 --> 06:57:45,378
wub public to see what the

4545
06:57:45,378 --> 06:57:46,779
searches are conducted and what

4546
06:57:46,779 --> 06:57:49,482
the reasons are sets us apart

4547
06:57:49,482 --> 06:57:51,350
from the concerns.

4548
06:57:51,350 --> 06:57:52,552
The public has legitimate

4549
06:57:52,552 --> 06:57:52,985
concerns.

4550
06:57:52,985 --> 06:57:54,754
Anyone with a device in their

4551
06:57:54,754 --> 06:57:56,856
pocket is tracked by all kinds

4552
06:57:56,856 --> 06:57:58,791
of company and the police

4553
06:57:58,791 --> 06:58:01,427
department is not tracking to

4554
06:58:01,427 --> 06:58:03,429
the level that all of us have a

4555
06:58:03,429 --> 06:58:07,433
smartphone in our pocket are

4556
06:58:07,433 --> 06:58:08,834
being tracked.

4557
06:58:08,834 --> 06:58:11,370
We are tracking vehicles for

4558
06:58:11,370 --> 06:58:12,972
investigative reasons and

4559
06:58:12,972 --> 06:58:15,074
retention limited to what the

4560
06:58:15,074 --> 06:58:17,276
law prescribes.

4561
06:58:17,276 --> 06:58:20,112
>> pro-tem: the matter is

4562
06:58:20,112 --> 06:58:24,617
before council.

4563
06:58:24,617 --> 06:58:26,852
>> councilmember torres-walker:

4564
06:58:26,852 --> 06:58:28,854
I understand the community’s

4565
06:58:28,854 --> 06:58:30,957
\hi understand the community’s

4566
06:58:28,854 --> 06:58:30,957
concerns around hyper

4567
06:58:30,957 --> 06:58:34,760
surveillance because there is

4568
06:58:34,760 --> 06:58:38,931
already a camera on any door in

4569
06:58:38,931 --> 06:58:40,800
any neighborhood at any time.

4570
06:58:40,800 --> 06:58:43,135
Privacy concerns are top

4571
06:58:43,135 --> 06:58:44,537
priority and how the systems

4572
06:58:44,537 --> 06:58:48,541
will be used.

4573
06:58:48,541 --> 06:58:51,410
Ai being introduced in all of

4574
06:58:51,410 --> 06:58:53,813
the systems is different.

4575
06:58:53,813 --> 06:58:56,382
Of course we have strong

4576
06:58:56,382 --> 06:58:57,984
regulations coming everyday, and

4577
06:58:57,984 --> 06:59:02,355
it’s not like -- and things are

4578
06:59:02,355 --> 06:59:04,123
constantly changing with systems

4579
06:59:04,123 --> 06:59:05,458
related to ai.

4580
06:59:05,458 --> 06:59:07,693
Long gone or the fusion centers

4581
06:59:07,693 --> 06:59:12,965
on the hills of 911 enter agency

4582
06:59:12,965 --> 06:59:14,667
task forces full of people

4583
06:59:14,667 --> 06:59:15,401
sharing information.

4584
06:59:15,401 --> 06:59:17,803
It was like a counter terrorism

4585
06:59:17,803 --> 06:59:21,574
type of position to be in,

4586
06:59:21,574 --> 06:59:21,774
right?

4587
06:59:21,774 --> 06:59:23,376
The pros and cons of the systems

4588
06:59:23,376 --> 06:59:26,279
were the risk to civil

4589
06:59:26,279 --> 06:59:29,749
liberties, mission creep and

4590
06:59:29,749 --> 06:59:31,851
ambiguity.

4591
06:59:31,851 --> 06:59:33,753
Are we violating civil

4592
06:59:33,753 --> 06:59:34,420
liberties?

4593
06:59:34,420 --> 06:59:37,823
Are we violating privacy?

4594
06:59:37,823 --> 06:59:40,192
Is the technology beyond the

4595
06:59:40,192 --> 06:59:41,294
purpose?

4596
06:59:41,294 --> 06:59:43,696
Are valid concerns of the

4597
06:59:43,696 --> 06:59:43,963
community.

4598
06:59:43,963 --> 06:59:46,699
We discussed data limits and how

4599
06:59:46,699 --> 06:59:47,333
to hold data.

4600
06:59:47,333 --> 06:59:50,703
There are concerns around -- I

4601
06:59:50,703 --> 06:59:52,905
think some of the original type

4602
06:59:52,905 --> 06:59:55,007
of settings, data overload, who

4603
06:59:55,007 --> 06:59:57,276
is holding the data?

4604
06:59:57,276 --> 06:59:58,844
Who is reviewing the data?

4605
06:59:58,844 --> 07:00:01,347
How long is the data stored?

4606
07:00:01,347 --> 07:00:03,216
You have people doing it not

4607
07:00:03,216 --> 07:00:05,151
systems constantly learning and

4608
07:00:05,151 --> 07:00:07,053
growing at a pace none of us

4609
07:00:07,053 --> 07:00:09,722
know if we can control.

4610
07:00:09,722 --> 07:00:12,558
My position is, I want to get

4611
07:00:12,558 --> 07:00:16,495
flock out of antioch.

4612
07:00:16,495 --> 07:00:19,265
If moving forward with this axon

4613
07:00:19,265 --> 07:00:23,936
system is going to do that, with

4614
07:00:23,936 --> 07:00:27,006
potential reviews along the way,

4615
07:00:27,006 --> 07:00:28,474
and some guardrails to make sure

4616
07:00:28,474 --> 07:00:30,910
we are not violating people’s

4617
07:00:30,910 --> 07:00:33,145
civil liberties, that the

4618
07:00:33,145 --> 07:00:34,947
license plate reader data is

4619
07:00:34,947 --> 07:00:37,683
being used in a case of

4620
07:00:37,683 --> 07:00:40,152
investigation and not monitored

4621
07:00:40,152 --> 07:00:44,123
like on a daily basis, then I

4622
07:00:44,123 --> 07:00:47,460
could support that.

4623
07:00:47,460 --> 07:00:49,428
My main position now is I really

4624
07:00:49,428 --> 07:00:52,765
want to see flock eliminated and

4625
07:00:52,765 --> 07:00:56,869
the community also has concerns

4626
07:00:56,869 --> 07:00:58,304
around safety while balancing

4627
07:00:58,304 --> 07:01:01,374
against the concerns around

4628
07:01:01,374 --> 07:01:03,776
privacy and mass surveillance.

4629
07:01:03,776 --> 07:01:09,415
So, when is the -- I guess, how

4630
07:01:09,415 --> 07:01:12,585
often is the plan -- when a lot

4631
07:01:12,585 --> 07:01:14,987
of this goes into place, what is

4632
07:01:14,987 --> 07:01:17,924
the plan from the police

4633
07:01:17,924 --> 07:01:19,959
department to kind of have

4634
07:01:19,959 --> 07:01:21,160
consistent reporting to this

4635
07:01:21,160 --> 07:01:25,164
council and the public on the

4636
07:01:25,164 --> 07:01:27,800
outcomes of the data and

4637
07:01:27,800 --> 07:01:30,069
surveillance being gathered any

4638
07:01:30,069 --> 07:01:32,204
potential manipulation to the

4639
07:01:32,204 --> 07:01:33,439
data, anything that might be a

4640
07:01:33,439 --> 07:01:36,075
red flag, how soon will the

4641
07:01:36,075 --> 07:01:36,976
community be made aware?

4642
07:01:36,976 --> 07:01:40,112
>> the community should be made

4643
07:01:40,112 --> 07:01:40,913
aware immediately.

4644
07:01:40,913 --> 07:01:41,881
We are doing it now.

4645
07:01:41,881 --> 07:01:44,984
We have a website even with the

4646
07:01:44,984 --> 07:01:46,118
flock data, controversial as

4647
07:01:46,118 --> 07:01:49,422
that is, anyone that goes to the

4648
07:01:49,422 --> 07:01:50,957
transparency site on the antioch

4649
07:01:50,957 --> 07:01:52,558
police department, we have a

4650
07:01:52,558 --> 07:01:55,394
portal for alpr flock

4651
07:01:55,394 --> 07:01:56,095
transparency site.

4652
07:01:56,095 --> 07:01:58,931
It will tell you the number of

4653
07:01:58,931 --> 07:01:59,232
detections.

4654
07:01:59,232 --> 07:02:02,335
It will tell you the number of

4655
07:02:02,335 --> 07:02:04,837
outside agency inquiries we have

4656
07:02:04,837 --> 07:02:06,272
received, the case number

4657
07:02:06,272 --> 07:02:07,206
associated with that.

4658
07:02:07,206 --> 07:02:09,108
It gives the entire policy.

4659
07:02:09,108 --> 07:02:10,776
You mentioned guardrails.

4660
07:02:10,776 --> 07:02:12,612
I wanted to hit on that.

4661
07:02:12,612 --> 07:02:14,680
Mission creep and you mentioned

4662
07:02:14,680 --> 07:02:16,015
so many concerning things I

4663
07:02:16,015 --> 07:02:18,184
think for all of us, the only

4664
07:02:18,184 --> 07:02:21,087
assurance that I can -- the best

4665
07:02:21,087 --> 07:02:22,922
assurance I can give the council

4666
07:02:22,922 --> 07:02:25,892
and community is that we are

4667
07:02:25,892 --> 07:02:27,159
auditing the system.

4668
07:02:27,159 --> 07:02:30,796
We require specific criteria.

4669
07:02:30,796 --> 07:02:34,000
We reject ambiguous criteria.

4670
07:02:34,000 --> 07:02:36,269
We have a policy about it

4671
07:02:36,269 --> 07:02:36,502
already.

4672
07:02:36,502 --> 07:02:38,871
We are not sharing with the

4673
07:02:38,871 --> 07:02:39,472
network.

4674
07:02:39,472 --> 07:02:41,407
We’ll do one-to-one sharing.

4675
07:02:41,407 --> 07:02:44,677
The first speaker mentioned nick

4676
07:02:44,677 --> 07:02:47,513
rick for the bay area that a

4677
07:02:47,513 --> 07:02:52,752
number of agencies are part of,

4678
07:02:52,752 --> 07:02:54,420
and nick rick assured us there

4679
07:02:54,420 --> 07:02:56,722
are state officers assigned to

4680
07:02:56,722 --> 07:02:58,591
the fusion center and california

4681
07:02:58,591 --> 07:03:01,427
police officers at nick rick are

4682
07:03:01,427 --> 07:03:03,696
authorized to view flock data is

4683
07:03:03,696 --> 07:03:05,064
the assurance that we received

4684
07:03:05,064 --> 07:03:07,300
that no federal officers are

4685
07:03:07,300 --> 07:03:08,701
reviewing or severing the data

4686
07:03:08,701 --> 07:03:10,603
is what the director reported to

4687
07:03:10,603 --> 07:03:10,770
us.

4688
07:03:10,770 --> 07:03:13,506
We have not received a request

4689
07:03:13,506 --> 07:03:14,540
for axon.

4690
07:03:14,540 --> 07:03:17,109
If they make the request, we’ll

4691
07:03:17,109 --> 07:03:19,679
evaluate that in a very strict

4692
07:03:19,679 --> 07:03:22,882
manner to ensure that it meets

4693
07:03:22,882 --> 07:03:24,817
california law and policy and

4694
07:03:24,817 --> 07:03:26,886
community values.

4695
07:03:26,886 --> 07:03:28,888
As far as guardrails are

4696
07:03:28,888 --> 07:03:31,624
concerned through auditing,

4697
07:03:31,624 --> 07:03:32,658
strong policy and tracking, I

4698
07:03:32,658 --> 07:03:35,528
think that’s how we prevent the

4699
07:03:35,528 --> 07:03:37,630
mission creep or some of the

4700
07:03:37,630 --> 07:03:38,264
concerns that have been

4701
07:03:38,264 --> 07:03:39,899
identified in other communities,

4702
07:03:39,899 --> 07:03:42,435
people are using it for personal

4703
07:03:42,435 --> 07:03:45,171
reasons to track ex-girlfriends,

4704
07:03:45,171 --> 07:03:46,839
things like that, we have

4705
07:03:46,839 --> 07:03:48,374
nothing like that here.

4706
07:03:48,374 --> 07:03:50,409
With the axon system, the data

4707
07:03:50,409 --> 07:03:53,646
is not used to train other ai

4708
07:03:53,646 --> 07:03:53,879
models.

4709
07:03:53,879 --> 07:03:55,881
It’s a closed system we have

4710
07:03:55,881 --> 07:03:57,250
complete control over with the

4711
07:03:57,250 --> 07:03:57,683
vendor.

4712
07:03:57,683 --> 07:03:59,952
>> can you explain the

4713
07:03:59,952 --> 07:04:01,654
justification for the a sole

4714
07:04:01,654 --> 07:04:02,054
source agreement?

4715
07:04:02,054 --> 07:04:03,656
>> there are a few reasons.

4716
07:04:03,656 --> 07:04:06,525
We are looking for a unified

4717
07:04:06,525 --> 07:04:09,662
platform, axon body warn

4718
07:04:09,662 --> 07:04:11,430
cameras, digital evidence

4719
07:04:11,430 --> 07:04:11,931
platform.

4720
07:04:11,931 --> 07:04:16,369
We have trusted ag axon with

4721
07:04:16,369 --> 07:04:16,869
evidence.

4722
07:04:16,869 --> 07:04:19,605
Sexual assault investigations,

4723
07:04:19,605 --> 07:04:21,307
child abuse investigations.

4724
07:04:21,307 --> 07:04:22,875
All of that evidence is stored

4725
07:04:22,875 --> 07:04:24,377
in the axon environment.

4726
07:04:24,377 --> 07:04:26,245
We have trusted them to do

4727
07:04:26,245 --> 07:04:26,612
that.

4728
07:04:26,612 --> 07:04:28,915
They have never had a data

4729
07:04:28,915 --> 07:04:29,749
breech.

4730
07:04:29,749 --> 07:04:32,785
All of our personnel are trained

4731
07:04:32,785 --> 07:04:34,220
in that system.

4732
07:04:34,220 --> 07:04:36,889
It’s one consistent system.

4733
07:04:36,889 --> 07:04:39,759
I can run it on one system,

4734
07:04:39,759 --> 07:04:41,494
train folks on one system.

4735
07:04:41,494 --> 07:04:43,896
The body warn camera uploads to

4736
07:04:43,896 --> 07:04:45,531
the evidence system.

4737
07:04:45,531 --> 07:04:48,100
The translation records and

4738
07:04:48,100 --> 07:04:49,201
seamlessly uploads with the

4739
07:04:49,201 --> 07:04:51,504
system in axon, same with the

4740
07:04:51,504 --> 07:04:53,172
license plate reader data.

4741
07:04:53,172 --> 07:04:55,508
It feeds to the same system.

4742
07:04:55,508 --> 07:04:58,144
That’s one of the main reasons

4743
07:04:58,144 --> 07:04:59,211
we sought sole source.

4744
07:04:59,211 --> 07:05:02,148
We don’t have multiple systems.

4745
07:05:02,148 --> 07:05:04,917
We train dispatcher, officers,

4746
07:05:04,917 --> 07:05:06,519
support staff, one unified

4747
07:05:06,519 --> 07:05:08,654
system.

4748
07:05:08,654 --> 07:05:11,123
>> councilmember torres-walker:

4749
07:05:11,123 --> 07:05:14,994
we fought for dash camera

4750
07:05:14,994 --> 07:05:17,430
\hwe fought for dash camera

4751
07:05:14,994 --> 07:05:17,430
systems and language access.

4752
07:05:17,430 --> 07:05:21,100
I support those in this

4753
07:05:21,100 --> 07:05:24,370
agreement while having concerns

4754
07:05:24,370 --> 07:05:27,473
still around monitoring.

4755
07:05:27,473 --> 07:05:30,977
>> pretty

4756
07:05:30,977 --> 07:05:33,713
>> councilmember rocha?

4757
07:05:33,713 --> 07:05:37,049
>> I think the way it’s written

4758
07:05:37,049 --> 07:05:40,052
is attractive to me.

4759
07:05:40,052 --> 07:05:45,725
I would like to move to approve

4760
07:05:45,725 --> 07:05:48,127
this agreement with the

4761
07:05:48,127 --> 07:05:49,362
resolution for sole source

4762
07:05:49,362 --> 07:05:51,964
agreement with axon enterprise.

4763
07:05:51,964 --> 07:05:53,900
>> pro-tem: is there a

4764
07:05:53,900 --> 07:05:56,002
second?

4765
07:05:56,002 --> 07:06:05,444
>> I’ll second it.

4766
07:06:05,444 --> 07:06:07,914
>> pro-tem: I have a question

4767
07:06:07,914 --> 07:06:09,248
from councilmember

4768
07:06:09,248 --> 07:06:09,782
torres-walker.

4769
07:06:09,782 --> 07:06:12,718
If the council is to approve

4770
07:06:12,718 --> 07:06:14,754
this, when would they be

4771
07:06:14,754 --> 07:06:16,489
implemented in the first phase?

4772
07:06:16,489 --> 07:06:18,391
>> I don’t have the exact

4773
07:06:18,391 --> 07:06:22,228
information timeline, but I know

4774
07:06:22,228 --> 07:06:25,631
that we are following behind

4775
07:06:25,631 --> 07:06:26,332
different implementations in the

4776
07:06:26,332 --> 07:06:26,832
bay area.

4777
07:06:26,832 --> 07:06:28,901
I don’t have the exact schedule

4778
07:06:28,901 --> 07:06:29,635
for it.

4779
07:06:29,635 --> 07:06:31,737
I can report back to council on

4780
07:06:31,737 --> 07:06:31,971
that.

4781
07:06:31,971 --> 07:06:33,873
I don’t think it will be a

4782
07:06:33,873 --> 07:06:35,508
lengthy implementation.

4783
07:06:35,508 --> 07:06:39,145
>> the reason I’m asking the

4784
07:06:39,145 --> 07:06:40,546
question, because I think

4785
07:06:40,546 --> 07:06:41,380
councilmember torres-walker

4786
07:06:41,380 --> 07:06:44,317
brings up a good point.

4787
07:06:44,317 --> 07:06:46,319
When we have implemented I

4788
07:06:46,319 --> 07:06:48,020
suggest annually a report come

4789
07:06:48,020 --> 07:06:49,722
back to the city council giving

4790
07:06:49,722 --> 07:06:52,458
us the detailed information,

4791
07:06:52,458 --> 07:06:54,660
both positive or negative.

4792
07:06:54,660 --> 07:06:57,897
I think you’re asking for us to

4793
07:06:57,897 --> 07:06:59,665
somewhat monitor, so I would

4794
07:06:59,665 --> 07:07:01,300
request the maker of the motion

4795
07:07:01,300 --> 07:07:03,603
and seconder of the motion to

4796
07:07:03,603 --> 07:07:07,006
include that, that once

4797
07:07:07,006 --> 07:07:08,908
implemented annually from that

4798
07:07:08,908 --> 07:07:10,910
date up and operational, a

4799
07:07:10,910 --> 07:07:11,911
report come back to the city

4800
07:07:11,911 --> 07:07:12,144
council.

4801
07:07:12,144 --> 07:07:14,247
>> I’m agreeable to that.

4802
07:07:14,247 --> 07:07:15,681
>> I am as well.

4803
07:07:15,681 --> 07:07:17,717
>> okay.

4804
07:07:17,717 --> 07:07:22,488
>> I have one more question.

4805
07:07:22,488 --> 07:07:26,592
What is the timeline or

4806
07:07:26,592 --> 07:07:28,261
approximate timeline for moving

4807
07:07:28,261 --> 07:07:32,531
away from flock with the new

4808
07:07:32,531 --> 07:07:32,765
system?

4809
07:07:32,765 --> 07:07:35,668
>> I think a lot of it depends

4810
07:07:35,668 --> 07:07:37,737
on how soon we get the new

4811
07:07:37,737 --> 07:07:38,971
system up and running.

4812
07:07:38,971 --> 07:07:42,508
We are using the dash cam

4813
07:07:42,508 --> 07:07:44,810
products and turned on the

4814
07:07:44,810 --> 07:07:46,913
license plate reader

4815
07:07:46,913 --> 07:07:47,580
capability.

4816
07:07:47,580 --> 07:07:49,448
We don’t want to go without the

4817
07:07:49,448 --> 07:07:51,751
previous system and compromise

4818
07:07:51,751 --> 07:07:53,419
serious case investigations or

4819
07:07:53,419 --> 07:07:56,122
if we have a serious crime that

4820
07:07:56,122 --> 07:07:57,890
occurs next week, we don’t want

4821
07:07:57,890 --> 07:08:00,192
to have a gap.

4822
07:08:00,192 --> 07:08:01,494
If at all possible, I would like

4823
07:08:01,494 --> 07:08:04,497
to report back to you on that or

4824
07:08:04,497 --> 07:08:07,700
have the chief report back to

4825
07:08:07,700 --> 07:08:08,935
you on implementation schedule

4826
07:08:08,935 --> 07:08:11,771
and fully move away from the

4827
07:08:11,771 --> 07:08:12,238
flock platform.

4828
07:08:12,238 --> 07:08:16,342
I see it’s a priority.

4829
07:08:16,342 --> 07:08:18,911
>> two year, three years, six

4830
07:08:18,911 --> 07:08:19,612
months?

4831
07:08:19,612 --> 07:08:21,681
>> I don’t believe so.

4832
07:08:21,681 --> 07:08:23,482
>> when you have the

4833
07:08:23,482 --> 07:08:24,917
information, could you have the

4834
07:08:24,917 --> 07:08:26,719
chief or you provide us with

4835
07:08:26,719 --> 07:08:26,886
it?

4836
07:08:26,886 --> 07:08:28,020
>> we will.

4837
07:08:28,020 --> 07:08:33,125
To reiterate it, the flock

4838
07:08:33,125 --> 07:08:36,629
system is calling $99,000 and

4839
07:08:36,629 --> 07:08:38,297
axon is giving us more

4840
07:08:38,297 --> 07:08:39,532
capability.

4841
07:08:39,532 --> 07:08:42,201
We are anxious to maximize the

4842
07:08:42,201 --> 07:08:44,770
value to the taxpayer.

4843
07:08:44,770 --> 07:08:48,341
>> would the flock cameras go

4844
07:08:48,341 --> 07:08:48,941
first, then?

4845
07:08:48,941 --> 07:08:58,050
Is that the strategy?

4846
07:08:58,050 --> 07:09:00,987
>> would the new cameras replace

4847
07:09:00,987 --> 07:09:03,022
the flock cameras first, to

4848
07:09:03,022 --> 07:09:05,491
reduce that bill and that type

4849
07:09:05,491 --> 07:09:07,326
of technology in place of new

4850
07:09:07,326 --> 07:09:07,693
technology?

4851
07:09:07,693 --> 07:09:10,663
>> I would make it certain that

4852
07:09:10,663 --> 07:09:12,331
the people involved in the

4853
07:09:12,331 --> 07:09:13,900
project, myself included

4854
07:09:13,900 --> 07:09:15,501
understand that we want to

4855
07:09:15,501 --> 07:09:17,737
replace the flock cameras as a

4856
07:09:17,737 --> 07:09:19,972
priority.

4857
07:09:19,972 --> 07:09:20,873
Motorola cameras, a number of

4858
07:09:20,873 --> 07:09:22,909
them are not working and we have

4859
07:09:22,909 --> 07:09:25,011
serious gaps in the system.

4860
07:09:25,011 --> 07:09:28,447
I know it was a priority to

4861
07:09:28,447 --> 07:09:30,383
replace cameras not working.

4862
07:09:30,383 --> 07:09:31,617
I’ll report back to the team

4863
07:09:31,617 --> 07:09:34,554
working on this that it’s a

4864
07:09:34,554 --> 07:09:35,721
priority to replace the flock

4865
07:09:35,721 --> 07:09:36,355
system.

4866
07:09:36,355 --> 07:09:39,458
>> and I’m not telling the

4867
07:09:39,458 --> 07:09:41,561
police department which cameras

4868
07:09:41,561 --> 07:09:43,829
to replace first as far as

4869
07:09:43,829 --> 07:09:45,731
greatest need, but I think the

4870
07:09:45,731 --> 07:09:48,301
flock cameras built into the

4871
07:09:48,301 --> 07:09:50,736
model is important to look at.

4872
07:09:50,736 --> 07:09:54,540
>> yes, we are.

4873
07:09:54,540 --> 07:09:56,075
>> off the top of my head

4874
07:09:56,075 --> 07:09:57,677
because this is a conversation

4875
07:09:57,677 --> 07:10:00,513
we had earlier, we have 12

4876
07:10:00,513 --> 07:10:02,748
months left in the existing

4877
07:10:02,748 --> 07:10:03,015
contract.

4878
07:10:03,015 --> 07:10:07,453
>> that could end soon.

4879
07:10:07,453 --> 07:10:09,722
>> we have to get with the city

4880
07:10:09,722 --> 07:10:12,458
attorney on terms of ending the

4881
07:10:12,458 --> 07:10:13,726
contract, but as far as what we

4882
07:10:13,726 --> 07:10:15,595
are contracted for, we have

4883
07:10:15,595 --> 07:10:17,730
about 12 months leflt.

4884
07:10:17,730 --> 07:10:18,264
Months left.

4885
07:10:18,264 --> 07:10:21,734
\hmonths left.

4886
07:10:18,264 --> 07:10:21,734
>> pro-tem: before I call for

4887
07:10:21,734 --> 07:10:25,338
the vote, it would be

4888
07:10:25,338 --> 07:10:26,973
appreciated the next couple of

4889
07:10:26,973 --> 07:10:29,508
weeks or so that you would

4890
07:10:29,508 --> 07:10:31,143
communicate to the council

4891
07:10:31,143 --> 07:10:32,578
questions raised.

4892
07:10:32,578 --> 07:10:34,580
Clearly the flock decommission

4893
07:10:34,580 --> 07:10:37,717
and axon implementation is

4894
07:10:37,717 --> 07:10:37,984
critical.

4895
07:10:37,984 --> 07:10:40,052
>> I definitely will.

4896
07:10:40,052 --> 07:10:42,822
I would like to reiterate our

4897
07:10:42,822 --> 07:10:44,290
responsibility use of the flock

4898
07:10:44,290 --> 07:10:45,358
technology continues to this

4899
07:10:45,358 --> 07:10:45,825
day.

4900
07:10:45,825 --> 07:10:48,394
If you click on the website I

4901
07:10:48,394 --> 07:10:50,630
mentioned, you can share every

4902
07:10:50,630 --> 07:10:52,498
agency with share with.

4903
07:10:52,498 --> 07:10:54,100
We publish it.

4904
07:10:54,100 --> 07:10:55,768
Statistic, scans on the website

4905
07:10:55,768 --> 07:10:57,703
and we are committed to being

4906
07:10:57,703 --> 07:10:59,238
open and transparent.

4907
07:10:59,238 --> 07:11:00,439
We recognize the community

4908
07:11:00,439 --> 07:11:00,840
concern.

4909
07:11:00,840 --> 07:11:04,277
>> a motion by councilmember

4910
07:11:04,277 --> 07:11:08,147
rocha, second by mayor bernal to

4911
07:11:08,147 --> 07:11:10,917
approve the sole source and once

4912
07:11:10,917 --> 07:11:13,252
taken place there be an annual

4913
07:11:13,252 --> 07:11:14,186
report made to the city

4914
07:11:14,186 --> 07:11:15,187
council.

4915
07:11:15,187 --> 07:11:17,056
>> councilmember wilson is

4916
07:11:17,056 --> 07:11:18,958
absent.

4917
07:11:18,958 --> 07:11:21,561
Councilmember rocha?

4918
07:11:21,561 --> 07:11:23,829
Councilmember torres-walker?

4919
07:11:23,829 --> 07:11:24,797
Mayor pro-tem freitas?

4920
07:11:24,797 --> 07:11:28,067
>> mayor bernal?

4921
07:11:28,067 --> 07:11:28,901
Motion passes, 4-0.

4922
07:11:28,901 --> 07:11:31,304
>> public comments, are there

4923
07:11:31,304 --> 07:11:33,239
any public comments?

4924
07:11:33,239 --> 07:11:35,308
>> clerk: we have no public

4925
07:11:35,308 --> 07:11:36,075
comments.

4926
07:11:36,075 --> 07:11:38,377
>> staff communications?

4927
07:11:38,377 --> 07:11:40,780
>> no staff communications.

4928
07:11:40,780 --> 07:11:42,715
>> council communications and

4929
07:11:42,715 --> 07:11:44,283
future agenda items?

4930
07:11:44,283 --> 07:11:48,254
>> I just have one item I wanted

4931
07:11:48,254 --> 07:11:48,854
to bring up.

4932
07:11:48,854 --> 07:11:51,791
I had the opportunity, mayor

4933
07:11:51,791 --> 07:11:55,194
bernal and I met with juliet

4934
07:11:55,194 --> 07:11:59,899
dawn of republic services on

4935
07:11:59,899 --> 07:12:00,199
august 12th.

4936
07:12:00,199 --> 07:12:03,903
I wanted to discuss asking the

4937
07:12:03,903 --> 07:12:05,338
acting community manager to

4938
07:12:05,338 --> 07:12:08,741
continue the conversation.

4939
07:12:08,741 --> 07:12:10,843
Recently, delta fair area, san

4940
07:12:10,843 --> 07:12:13,312
jose drive, there has been

4941
07:12:13,312 --> 07:12:14,513
illegal dumping, a lot of

4942
07:12:14,513 --> 07:12:15,615
concerns about that in the

4943
07:12:15,615 --> 07:12:16,515
community there.

4944
07:12:16,515 --> 07:12:19,785
I eluded earlier to the new

4945
07:12:19,785 --> 07:12:21,721
employee who had taken upon

4946
07:12:21,721 --> 07:12:23,189
himself to go and address it

4947
07:12:23,189 --> 07:12:25,691
with the owner.

4948
07:12:25,691 --> 07:12:26,826
What came out of that

4949
07:12:26,826 --> 07:12:30,196
conversation was the signage has

4950
07:12:30,196 --> 07:12:33,799
been put up for a hotline for

4951
07:12:33,799 --> 07:12:35,401
illegal dumping.

4952
07:12:35,401 --> 07:12:37,837
Is that numbing utilized?

4953
07:12:37,837 --> 07:12:39,805
Is there responses occurring?

4954
07:12:39,805 --> 07:12:41,707
I don’t know necessarily the

4955
07:12:41,707 --> 07:12:43,643
activity that’s taking place if

4956
07:12:43,643 --> 07:12:45,811
there are results from that?

4957
07:12:45,811 --> 07:12:49,215
We also discussed at that

4958
07:12:49,215 --> 07:12:52,919
meeting the potential for having

4959
07:12:52,919 --> 07:12:55,755
cameras to help assist with

4960
07:12:55,755 --> 07:12:57,423
identifying vehicles with what

4961
07:12:57,423 --> 07:12:58,925
we discussed with identifying

4962
07:12:58,925 --> 07:13:03,129
vehicles that are illegally

4963
07:13:03,129 --> 07:13:04,463
dumping, and then the other

4964
07:13:04,463 --> 07:13:10,603
thing we talked about was the

4965
07:13:10,603 --> 07:13:15,041
city wide cleanup.

4966
07:13:15,041 --> 07:13:18,778
We had councilmembers that had

4967
07:13:18,778 --> 07:13:19,579
unfortunate circumstance.

4968
07:13:19,579 --> 07:13:22,515
I happen to be one of them.

4969
07:13:22,515 --> 07:13:23,983
Mrs. Freitas was another.

4970
07:13:23,983 --> 07:13:27,653
So, I just think from talking

4971
07:13:27,653 --> 07:13:29,121
with juliet, one of the things

4972
07:13:29,121 --> 07:13:32,425
she suggested is looking at best

4973
07:13:32,425 --> 07:13:33,693
practice strategies utilized

4974
07:13:33,693 --> 07:13:34,393
before.

4975
07:13:34,393 --> 07:13:36,796
I think doing it regionally,

4976
07:13:36,796 --> 07:13:38,497
looking at district one, two,

4977
07:13:38,497 --> 07:13:40,566
three, four, but looking at a

4978
07:13:40,566 --> 07:13:44,337
better way to provide the

4979
07:13:44,337 --> 07:13:47,673
service in a controlled and

4980
07:13:47,673 --> 07:13:48,674
supportive environment so we

4981
07:13:48,674 --> 07:13:50,643
don’t run into the traffic

4982
07:13:50,643 --> 07:13:58,718
congestion and out of control

4983
07:13:58,718 --> 07:14:00,653
incident that occurred.

4984
07:14:00,653 --> 07:14:02,688
I wanted to ask if you could

4985
07:14:02,688 --> 07:14:05,625
follow up with republic

4986
07:14:05,625 --> 07:14:07,460
services, illegal dumping.

4987
07:14:07,460 --> 07:14:10,296
I think you have met with them.

4988
07:14:10,296 --> 07:14:11,797
>> we met last week.

4989
07:14:11,797 --> 07:14:13,432
They are putting together a plan

4990
07:14:13,432 --> 07:14:15,101
for us.

4991
07:14:15,101 --> 07:14:16,869
We should be getting something

4992
07:14:16,869 --> 07:14:19,105
back within a week or two from

4993
07:14:19,105 --> 07:14:20,139
the general manager.

4994
07:14:20,139 --> 07:14:21,741
At this point, I was not aware

4995
07:14:21,741 --> 07:14:23,943
of the hotline, so I’ll follow

4996
07:14:23,943 --> 07:14:24,644
up with that.

4997
07:14:24,644 --> 07:14:26,212
>> it was on the news.

4998
07:14:26,212 --> 07:14:28,581
It was channel 4.

4999
07:14:28,581 --> 07:14:31,284
They showed signs going up and

5000
07:14:31,284 --> 07:14:32,685
were talking about the

5001
07:14:32,685 --> 07:14:35,187
challenges with san jose drive

5002
07:14:35,187 --> 07:14:36,756
corridor and the lot line was

5003
07:14:36,756 --> 07:14:37,723
going up.

5004
07:14:37,723 --> 07:14:40,893
I don’t know if there was

5005
07:14:40,893 --> 07:14:41,427
activity.

5006
07:14:41,427 --> 07:14:43,529
If you could follow up and give

5007
07:14:43,529 --> 07:14:45,131
us a report on that?

5008
07:14:45,131 --> 07:14:45,932
>> I will.

5009
07:14:45,932 --> 07:14:49,535
>> and when you do get the plan

5010
07:14:49,535 --> 07:14:52,838
could you share it with the

5011
07:14:52,838 --> 07:14:54,607
council before it gets

5012
07:14:54,607 --> 07:14:56,042
implemented so we can see what

5013
07:14:56,042 --> 07:14:57,777
it’s about and provide comment?

5014
07:14:57,777 --> 07:15:02,315
>> absolutely.

5015
07:15:02,315 --> 07:15:03,916
Could we have one person that

5016
07:15:03,916 --> 07:15:05,718
would still like to make public

5017
07:15:05,718 --> 07:15:07,787
comment.

5018
07:15:07,787 --> 07:15:18,898
>> mr. Becker just hung up when

5019
07:15:18,898 --> 07:15:19,699
you mentioned that.

5020
07:15:19,699 --> 07:15:21,634
>> oh, there he is.

5021
07:15:21,634 --> 07:15:22,568
>> you are on.

5022
07:15:22,568 --> 07:15:26,606
>> thank you so much.

5023
07:15:26,606 --> 07:15:28,207
I appreciate the chance to

5024
07:15:28,207 --> 07:15:29,609
submit my public comment.

5025
07:15:29,609 --> 07:15:34,513
I just wanted to raise up that

5026
07:15:34,513 --> 07:15:38,251
we are coming up on the close of

5027
07:15:38,251 --> 07:15:40,987
the public comment review period

5028
07:15:40,987 --> 07:15:45,625
for the state of california’s

5029
07:15:45,625 --> 07:15:46,792
submitted opportunity --

5030
07:15:46,792 --> 07:15:49,962
proposed opportunity zones with

5031
07:15:49,962 --> 07:15:54,367
a few of those proposed zones I

5032
07:15:54,367 --> 07:15:57,236
believe being in the city of

5033
07:15:57,236 --> 07:15:59,739
antioch.

5034
07:15:59,739 --> 07:16:01,107
I don’t believe the city of

5035
07:16:01,107 --> 07:16:04,944
antioch has appropriately looked

5036
07:16:04,944 --> 07:16:07,146
at the zones that would be most

5037
07:16:07,146 --> 07:16:12,518
beneficial to the city, and I am

5038
07:16:12,518 --> 07:16:14,720
a little saddened that not only

5039
07:16:14,720 --> 07:16:19,759
did we lose out on last

5040
07:16:19,759 --> 07:16:20,593
opportunities development but

5041
07:16:20,593 --> 07:16:24,263
once again, as we talk about

5042
07:16:24,263 --> 07:16:26,899
economic development, as we talk

5043
07:16:26,899 --> 07:16:28,935
about regional growth and

5044
07:16:28,935 --> 07:16:31,270
infrastructure growth, as I work

5045
07:16:31,270 --> 07:16:35,474
with local developers and hear

5046
07:16:35,474 --> 07:16:37,343
daily about the infrastructure

5047
07:16:37,343 --> 07:16:39,812
needs or deficits in the city,

5048
07:16:39,812 --> 07:16:45,151
we continue to pass up these

5049
07:16:45,151 --> 07:16:46,452
incredible opportunities that

5050
07:16:46,452 --> 07:16:53,059
when matched together really are

5051
07:16:53,059 --> 07:16:55,261
the central pieces that build

5052
07:16:55,261 --> 07:16:56,596
large scale developments.

5053
07:16:56,596 --> 07:16:58,864
You look at the rail yard

5054
07:16:58,864 --> 07:17:01,701
development in sacramento.

5055
07:17:01,701 --> 07:17:05,037
You look at san diego and their

5056
07:17:05,037 --> 07:17:07,473
harbor district.

5057
07:17:07,473 --> 07:17:09,442
The infrastructure we can build

5058
07:17:09,442 --> 07:17:11,410
here in our city is what is

5059
07:17:11,410 --> 07:17:13,679
going to speak to the final

5060
07:17:13,679 --> 07:17:16,515
opportunity, and I think mayor

5061
07:17:16,515 --> 07:17:18,217
pro-tem freitas said it best at

5062
07:17:18,217 --> 07:17:19,952
a previous meeting when he spoke

5063
07:17:19,952 --> 07:17:21,954
about the opportunities in

5064
07:17:21,954 --> 07:17:24,523
downtown antioch and how we can

5065
07:17:24,523 --> 07:17:26,192
become a hub.

5066
07:17:26,192 --> 07:17:29,729
The infrastructure can’t come at

5067
07:17:29,729 --> 07:17:31,097
the city’s cost.

5068
07:17:31,097 --> 07:17:34,934
We talk about finance district,

5069
07:17:34,934 --> 07:17:36,836
surplus land disposition,

5070
07:17:36,836 --> 07:17:39,038
economic development, but we

5071
07:17:39,038 --> 07:17:41,674
also say how city staff is not

5072
07:17:41,674 --> 07:17:43,609
present to be able to do the

5073
07:17:43,609 --> 07:17:43,809
work.

5074
07:17:43,809 --> 07:17:46,679
Let’s be realistic, economic

5075
07:17:46,679 --> 07:17:48,080
development director coming in

5076
07:17:48,080 --> 07:17:50,483
will not do the work either.

5077
07:17:50,483 --> 07:17:52,351
It’s a long-term structural

5078
07:17:52,351 --> 07:17:54,887
problem that we have to solve,

5079
07:17:54,887 --> 07:17:57,723
but what we can do today is look

5080
07:17:57,723 --> 07:18:02,428
toward consultants like kosmont

5081
07:18:02,428 --> 07:18:04,030
realty the development arm for

5082
07:18:04,030 --> 07:18:08,301
the town of ma rah ga, did the

5083
07:18:08,301 --> 07:18:10,937
feasibility study in san pablo,

5084
07:18:10,937 --> 07:18:13,773
handle surplus land throughout

5085
07:18:13,773 --> 07:18:16,375
the state of california and can

5086
07:18:16,375 --> 07:18:19,612
come in and match our surplus

5087
07:18:19,612 --> 07:18:22,848
land with opportunity zones, tax

5088
07:18:22,848 --> 07:18:24,817
credit opportunities and enhance

5089
07:18:24,817 --> 07:18:25,851
finance district.

5090
07:18:25,851 --> 07:18:27,119
That’s my time.

5091
07:18:27,119 --> 07:18:28,988
I hope you heard my comment,

5092
07:18:28,988 --> 07:18:31,724
thank you.

5093
07:18:31,724 --> 07:18:33,993
>> we have no further comments.

5094
07:18:33,993 --> 07:18:36,095
>> I would like to know where we

5095
07:18:36,095 --> 07:18:37,330
are with the opportunity.

5096
07:18:37,330 --> 07:18:41,734
>> I will check with the acting

5097
07:18:41,734 --> 07:18:42,001
director.

5098
07:18:42,001 --> 07:18:44,337
>> and particularly what the

5099
07:18:44,337 --> 07:18:45,838
deadline is coming up.

5100
07:18:45,838 --> 07:18:46,706
Anything else?

5101
07:18:46,706 --> 07:18:49,709
Is there a motion?

5102
07:18:49,709 --> 07:18:50,009
Nope.

5103
07:18:50,009 --> 07:18:54,714
>> first, I want to thank mayor

5104
07:18:54,714 --> 07:18:58,951
pro-tem, don freitas for running

5105
07:18:58,951 --> 07:19:00,086
an efficient meeting tonight.

5106
07:19:00,086 --> 07:19:02,588
So excited to get out of here

5107
07:19:02,588 --> 07:19:02,955
before midnight.

5108
07:19:02,955 --> 07:19:07,593
I would like to say first that

5109
07:19:07,593 --> 07:19:09,262
councilwoman monica wilson

5110
07:19:09,262 --> 07:19:10,596
couldn’t be here tonight because

5111
07:19:10,596 --> 07:19:14,467
she had an urgent family issue.

5112
07:19:14,467 --> 07:19:20,072
Please make sure you keep her in

5113
07:19:20,072 --> 07:19:20,640
your prayers.

5114
07:19:20,640 --> 07:19:26,379
I want to request that the

5115
07:19:26,379 --> 07:19:32,184
council reconsider and place the

5116
07:19:32,184 --> 07:19:34,887
lumberyard back on the cap.

5117
07:19:34,887 --> 07:19:37,089
The reason I’m making this

5118
07:19:37,089 --> 07:19:39,292
request because if the city ever

5119
07:19:39,292 --> 07:19:41,694
turns this lot back over to the

5120
07:19:41,694 --> 07:19:45,731
speculative market, it may fall

5121
07:19:45,731 --> 07:19:48,367
under the surplus land act and

5122
07:19:48,367 --> 07:19:51,704
the first developers that we

5123
07:19:51,704 --> 07:20:00,446
have to concede to will be

5124
07:20:00,446 --> 07:20:01,547
housing developers.

5125
07:20:01,547 --> 07:20:04,083
It might not meet the need for

5126
07:20:04,083 --> 07:20:04,550
the lot.

5127
07:20:04,550 --> 07:20:07,053
I want us to have further

5128
07:20:07,053 --> 07:20:08,521
discussion for what the vision

5129
07:20:08,521 --> 07:20:11,857
is for so it doesn’t -- so this

5130
07:20:11,857 --> 07:20:13,859
piece of property doesn’t fall

5131
07:20:13,859 --> 07:20:15,995
victim to the surplus land act.

5132
07:20:15,995 --> 07:20:22,201
I want to raise up that I’m

5133
07:20:22,201 --> 07:20:27,373
greatful for the encampment

5134
07:20:27,373 --> 07:20:28,407
cleanup.

5135
07:20:28,407 --> 07:20:31,177
Every time we clear the

5136
07:20:31,177 --> 07:20:32,411
encampment people end up

5137
07:20:32,411 --> 07:20:35,481
somewhere else.

5138
07:20:35,481 --> 07:20:37,683
The rite aid parking lot was a

5139
07:20:37,683 --> 07:20:38,417
mess.

5140
07:20:38,417 --> 07:20:40,186
I understand people are not

5141
07:20:40,186 --> 07:20:42,355
blight, but if we are going to

5142
07:20:42,355 --> 07:20:44,357
clean encampments, we need a

5143
07:20:44,357 --> 07:20:45,958
strategy to place people so we

5144
07:20:45,958 --> 07:20:48,194
are not pushing them from corner

5145
07:20:48,194 --> 07:20:57,937
to corner.

5146
07:20:57,937 --> 07:21:02,675
Lastly, myself and mayor freitas

5147
07:21:02,675 --> 07:21:04,243
started having conversations

5148
07:21:04,243 --> 07:21:07,947
about the theater in 2025 when

5149
07:21:07,947 --> 07:21:30,603
we started the dialogue.

5150
07:21:30,603 --> 07:21:31,871
We have been having the

5151
07:21:31,871 --> 07:21:33,005
conversations since last year

5152
07:21:33,005 --> 07:21:35,374
and trying to see what the

5153
07:21:35,374 --> 07:21:37,743
solutions are and how can the

5154
07:21:37,743 --> 07:21:39,579
city step in given the budget

5155
07:21:39,579 --> 07:21:42,148
process and significant deficit

5156
07:21:42,148 --> 07:21:46,452
we were facing due to low tax

5157
07:21:46,452 --> 07:21:46,919
revenue.

5158
07:21:46,919 --> 07:21:50,056
Due to the lack of sales tax

5159
07:21:50,056 --> 07:21:51,824
revenue, we were not looking at

5160
07:21:51,824 --> 07:22:05,871
other options.

5161
07:22:05,871 --> 07:22:08,975
I would appreciate if people got

5162
07:22:08,975 --> 07:22:13,346
clarity before saying we have

5163
07:22:13,346 --> 07:22:17,083
not paid attention to this

5164
07:22:17,083 --> 07:22:17,783
issue.

5165
07:22:17,783 --> 07:22:22,088
>> mayor bernal, any comments?

5166
07:22:22,088 --> 07:22:23,522
Is there a motion --

5167
07:22:23,522 --> 07:22:25,725
>> do we have time for one final

5168
07:22:25,725 --> 07:22:25,958
comment?

5169
07:22:25,958 --> 07:22:27,460
>> no.

5170
07:22:27,460 --> 07:22:29,295
Is there a motion to adjourn?

5171
07:22:29,295 --> 07:22:31,163
>> motion to adjourn.

5172
07:22:31,163 --> 07:22:31,831
>> second.

5173
07:22:31,831 --> 07:22:35,768
>> motion has been made by

5174
07:22:35,768 --> 07:22:40,773
councilmember rocha, seconded by

5175
07:22:40,773 --> 07:22:44,577
councilmember torres-walker.

5176
07:22:44,577 --> 07:22:45,711
To adjourn.

5177
07:22:45,711 --> 07:22:47,146
\hto adjourn.

5178
07:22:45,711 --> 07:22:47,146
Roll call?

5179
07:22:47,146 --> 07:22:49,348
>> councilmember wilson is

5180
07:22:49,348 --> 07:22:51,083
absent.

5181
07:22:51,083 --> 07:22:52,051
Councilmember rocha?

5182
07:22:52,051 --> 07:22:54,654
Councilmember torres-walker?

5183
07:22:54,654 --> 07:22:57,723
Mayor pro-tem freitas?

5184
07:22:57,723 --> 07:22:59,025
Mayor bernal?

5185
07:22:59,025 --> 07:23:00,793
Motion passes 4-0.
