[6:07] big town going down this year's campaign
is smoke alarms make them work for you
[6:11] focus is on educating everyone about the
critical importance of having
[6:15] functioning smoke alarms in their home
the campaign emphasizes three key
[6:19] actions install test and replace install
smoke alarms in every bedroom outside
[6:24] each separate sleeping area on and on
each level of the home test smoke alarm
[6:29] monthly by pushing the test button
replace all smoke alarms when they are
[6:33] 10 years old or stop responding when

life-saving public education to sign
[6:43] significantly reduce fire related
casualties the the city council Pride
[6:48] proudly proclaims October 6 through 12th
2024 as fire prevention week and
[6:54] presents this proclamation to the city
of Canyon Leake Fire Department in
[6:58] recognition of their incredible
efforts
[7:02] okay I think we should get them all up
here don't
[7:08] you we want all our
[7:12] [Applause]
[Music]
[7:26] firefighters you want the m
[7:46] okay the proclamation reads whereas the
City of cany Lake is committed to
[7:49] ensuring Safety and Security for all
those living working and visiting our
[7:53] city and whereas the F fire is a serious
Public Safety concern both locally and
[7:57] nationally
and and the and homes are on the
[8:01] location where people are at the
greatest risk from fire whereas roughly
[8:05] three out of five fire deaths happen the
home where no smoke alarms or no working
[8:09] smoke alarms according to the National
Fire Association and whereas spreading
[8:13] awareness of this necessary step asures
your smoke alarms are working and
[8:17] whereas these steps include installing a
smoking alarm in every bedroom testing
[8:21] your smoke alarms at least once a month
replacing smoke alarms if they're 10
[8:25] years old and don't respond when tested
whereas smoke alarms cut the risk of
[8:30] dying in half whereas smoke alarms are
essential component to fire escape plan
[8:35] whereas can Lake residents should be
sure everyone in their home understands
[8:38] the sounds of smoke alarms and those
that to respond the cany fire department
[8:42] is dedicated to reducing the occurrence
of Home Fires and home fire injuries
[8:46] through prevention and education whereas
2024 Prevention Week theme smoke alarms
[8:52] makes makes make them work for you
effectively serves to remind us the
[8:56] importance of installing and maintaining
and testing homes testing alarms in your
[9:00] home now therefore let it be proclaimed
that the city of Canyon Lake recognized
[9:05] October 6
2012 excuse me October 6th through 12th
[9:10] as 2024 as fire prevention week in the
city of Clon Lake in doing so we Ur all
[9:15] the people of cany Lake to focus on
creating and regularly practicing an
[9:19] escape plan to keep them and their loved
ones
[9:23] safe thank you Mr Mayor if I could make
an announcement we're also going to
[9:28] start doing free smoke detector test at
home so if it's not working we'll come
[9:33] out we'll give it a test if it needs
batteries we'll replace the batteries we
[9:36] want to encourage the people test their
smoke alarms make sure they're operating
[9:41] because uh three out of five deaths that
occur in a home are because of a
[9:45] nonworking smoke detector so we want to
do our part to try to mitigate that so

department for recognizing this

[18:49] good
news thank you Mr Mayor okay can Lake
[18:54] Property Owners Association board
President Bill van vet
[19:01] mayor walty council members staff it's
uh it's been a while for me and uh good
[19:07] to be back first of all I want to start
off and congratulate you on a very
[19:10] successful state of the city
event we uh this this the event was
[19:15] great we had it was a great turnout now
we saw the number of people from all
[19:19] around the region and um and the video
you guys produced was very professional
[19:24] and very well done gave nice color for
for our community so I want to
[19:27] congratulate you guys on on job well
done um last week was a very busy week
[19:32] for all of us in addition to we had a
board meeting we had state of the city
[19:35] uh we had a a car show which was very
successful had over 200 cars there as
[19:40] well I know mayor Jeremy you had some a
couple of cars there too and so that was
[19:45] uh it's always a great event that was a
little toasty in the afternoon but if
[19:47] you got there early it was uh it was uh
very very well done um also on the same
[19:53] weekend we had our city golf tournament
and again very well turned uh a lot of
[19:57] people turned out uh great event uh and
and we appreciate the fact that the the
[20:01] city uh the Water District and POA had
had teams that getting that so a great
[20:06] great event for everyone at our uh board
meeting last week there were kind of two
[20:10] significant achievements one is the
first one is uh we passed a resolution
[20:14] to remove some very old and Antiquated
language in our bylaws and what they do
[20:19] is they the bylaws state that there's
only one Prime member allowed per per
[20:23] property and it defaults to the husband
um and that although that has not been
[20:28] our practice for many years it's still
on our BW so we cleaned that all up and
[20:31] said it's it's it is now up to the
members uh they can choose if it's a
[20:35] joint tendency you can choose whichever
member you want to be the prime and and
[20:39] if not it'll it'll def fall to whoever
is the first person listed on the title
[20:43] so about time we got into the Millennium
as far as that goes and uh and change
[20:48] all of that kind of language uh the
second thing we did is we we passed a
[20:51] number of uh consolidation of our rules
and many of you know we have many many
[20:56] pages of uh of rules I think 80 pages of
rules that's uh to keep everything going
[21:03] um and we reduce it by about 10% uh but
there are a lot of duplications and air
[21:07] uh not ER the duplications and
redundancies that we've we've passed to
[21:10] to clean that up so so that was um that
was that um looking ahead I want to
[21:15] remind everyone uh Halloween's probably
the next big event that's coming up one
[21:19] of the practices that we put in place uh
for almost a year now is that we
[21:24] restrict entry of service providers and
that's had a big impact had a big on the
[21:28] 4th of July it's had a big big impact on
all of our major events and so want to
[21:33] remind everyone that if you do need a
service provider in for food or whatever
[21:36] that you have to call them in as a guest
but it has substantially decreased our
[21:41] our traffic in and um other than that
any questions for
[21:47] me no keep up a good word appreciate you
thank you thank you so
[21:54] [Applause]
much okay cany Lake chamber of com board
[21:59] President John
[22:02] Grande so you guys get two Grandes help
here
[22:05] tonight Mr Mayor mayor protm uh council
members City staff as always it's an
[22:11] honor to be up here to to address this
uh fine board um as always I'll be very
[22:16] brief about a week and a half ago we had
our second annual Battle of the
[22:20] businesses um we had so much fun um and
we kind of dodged the big heat waves
[22:27] that were coming and going we're like
smack dab in the middle right after one
[22:30] and before the other started still
pretty warm but survivable the uh the
[22:36] winning team was touchless B covers and
uh I'd also if anyone's listening at
[22:42] home or here always want to thank our
volunteers uh we really couldn't have
[22:46] done it without everybody uh
participating wanted to thank um the
[22:50] fire department for letting us borrow
their uh their their training rope for
[22:55] um for the tug of- War events and
overall it was a lot of fun Community
[23:00] came out cheered on their favorite teams
and uh can't wait for uh to see this
[23:06] event happen again next year uh last
week of course you guys to someone
[23:10] else's point put on a great state of the
city event chamber was very uh proud to
[23:16] participate and help set up and you know
um guide people around it's always a fun
[23:21] event to attend coming up um Saturday
October 26th is our annual parade
[23:29] Frights and uh we're going to do a
couple things we're not changing a lot
[23:32] but we're adding a couple things that
are going to be terrific about a year or
[23:36] so ago is having a conversation with
Chuck Golding a lot of us no Chuck and
[23:40] um as it turns out he was on the
original Board of Directors for the
[23:44] Chamber of Commerce and he's the one who
told me he came up with the idea of Paro
[23:48] Frights and the reason why they did that
was not a lot of people in Canyon Lan
[23:53] knew about what businesses and services
were available in the Town Center so
[23:58] what better way to do it is to have all
the kids coming with their parents to
[24:02] trick or treat from business to business
and that's what introduced them and so
[24:07] uh what we're going to add to that
because kalista and I were having
[24:09] conversation and along with the board
saying you know what we have more than a
[24:13] few businesses that are not in the Town
Center either over at um Eastport or
[24:19] homebased businesses so we're going to
give the opportunity for those
[24:22] businesses to sit at a table and uh and
also hand out candy so we don't want to
[24:27] limit to just to Center people and this
is a huge event the other thing we're
[24:31] adding I'm glad that Troy is here or did
he ready oh he did left okay so uh one
[24:36] of the things we're adding is going to
be a doggy costume contest so mayor
[24:40] Welty council member DNE I know you two
definitely have dogs but bring them down
[24:46] um and the reason why I mentioned yard
fresh it was their idea and they're
[24:49] going to be the judges of the event so
um in addition to all the kids marching
[24:54] around and uh parading their costumes
you gonna bring Z2 here as well that's
[25:00] my grandson by the way so that's right
that's right um the other event that's
[25:05] coming up is going to be our monthly
business Round Table that's going to be
[25:09] on the 7th of uh of November it's always
the first Thursday of the month it's
[25:14] going to be at Magnolia room which is in

[27:54] rails hey Captain how are you good good
evening honorable mayor mayor P City
[27:59] Council Members um happy to be here
today to present to you I have two
[28:04] quarters worth of stats uh to do on a
presentation since I missed the last
[28:08] meeting it's going to be April through
September is what it's going to
[28:13] cover if I can figure this
out all right there we go all right the
[28:20] first flight is going to be uh calls for
service and this is uh for the three
[28:25] months of April May and June uh total
calls for service in April were 382 in
[28:31] May it was 416 and in June it was 306 if
you look at the gray bar right
[28:36] underneath those that'll show you the
call for service from last year so you
[28:40] can see that April uh was a little bit
higher uh May and June was actually
[28:45] lower this year and we broke down the
calls for service um in the bars down
[28:49] below the first bar is uh midnight to
6:00 a.m. next bar is 6:00 a.m. till
[28:56] 12:00 noon the next bar is 12:00 noon
until 6:00 at night and then the next
[29:02] bar will be 6:00 at night till midnight
so as you can see most of the calls for
[29:07] service in those three months um are
going to be from 6:00 at night till
[29:11] midnight the majority um is going to be
from from uh 12: to 12 and that's calls
[29:17] for Service Plus self initiated both
okay
[29:22] both next slide will be the months of
July August and uh September and July
[29:28] almost even with 498 August 395 also
really close September 350 which is down
[29:36] um quite a few from the year prior as
you can see the in the bars down below
[29:40] we're almost in the same situation to
where most of your calls and service are
[29:43] coming from um 6:00 at night till
midnight or your self initiated
[29:50] calls next slide will be um all the
arrests made in the city of Canyon Lake
[29:55] if you look at April um
in the green that will be six felony
[30:00] arrests in April uh three the prior year
in May we had four felony arrests and
[30:07] three the prior year and it flipflops in
June to where we had one that we had two
[30:13] the prior year in June uh Mr meaners are
on the other side with four in April
[30:18] seven in May and two in
June all have a question are any of
[30:23] those warrants or that's every arrest
just anything to on view arrests any any
[30:30] type of
arrest that would not be arrests that
[30:34] were made from
investigations those are standed a
[30:37] little different these would just be
Patrol related
[30:42] arrests and if you look at uh July July
were up to eight felony arrests two from
[30:49] the year prior two in August and then
one in
[30:53] September and in July uh seven misdem
arrests uh three in August and two in
[30:59] September and you can see the July
obviously because of July 4th a lot
[31:03] going on we're going to have more
arrests that
[31:06] month next slide is your part one
violent crimes for April May and June
[31:14] um in April we had one assault we had no
robberies no sex crimes no homicides
[31:21] same as uh prior year in May we had
uh zero violent crimes uh two the year
[31:29] prior and then in June we had uh two
assaults uh one in
[31:35] 2023 most of those assaults I looked
them up most of them were related to
[31:39] domestic violence very very few are
actually assaults that are out on the
[31:43] street in the parks that type of thing
Captain can I I'm sorry can I can I back
[31:47] you up one slide sure just have a quick
question in July
[31:52] didn't wasn't there a a DIY checkpoint
in July said in July so with
[31:58] probably account for the I don't think
we had any fail fony arrests at that
[32:03] checkpoint I think we had a 3 DUI so
three out of those seven misdemeanors
[32:07] would have been from the checkpoint okay
thanks I'm sorry I thought we didn't
[32:12] have any arrests on Fourth of July this
year didn't we say that well that would
[32:19] just be for the month just for the full
month just for the full month so right
[32:22] around that weekend because we have the
extra deputies here from Friday all the
[32:25] way to Monday so during that weekend
there was there's quite a few but yeah
[32:28] actually on the date of the 4th yeah we
did not we did not have any any that
[32:33] Council I think it's on record for us
right yeah since I've been there right
[32:38] yeah
def it was it was a good fourth
[32:42] yeah okay so that covers April May and
June we look at violent crimes from July
[32:47] August and
September we had two assaults in July
[32:52] one robbery uh two sex crimes uh you're
probably wondering what the robbery was
[32:57] was and that robbery
was at a party um a lot of drinking
[33:04] involved um some people got into a fight
uh pushing shoving and a cell phone sto
[33:11] so that's where that robbery is so
wasn't somebody at gun point that type
[33:14] of thing in the Town Center was actually
at residence uh the two sex crimes most
[33:19] of those
are our investigations is still
[33:23] investigating those so um those could
change once the Stats come out so that
[33:29] covers July and August we had uh no part
one violent crimes and in September we
[33:35] had uh two aggravated
assaults let's look at our property
[33:39] crimes in April we had uh three thefts
Mary is a theft so we had uh three
[33:45] thefts uh one vehicle
theft almost the same as the prior year
[33:49] with no vehicle thefts um in may we had
two burglaries two thefts and one
[33:55] vehicle theft and in June we had no
burglaries we had three thefts and three
[34:01] vehicle thefts look at property crimes
for July August September and July we
[34:06] had nine
thefts five the year prior we had uh
[34:12] five in August three the year prior and
then uh four thefts in September and
[34:19] actually going back we had one Bry in
August and um one vehicle theft overall
[34:27] which was in the the month of
September so that covers your part one
[34:31] crimes let's look at uh average response
times in April um priority one was over
[34:39] 8 minutes priority two 29 minutes and
priority 3 33 minutes and then priority
[34:45] 4 37 minutes looking into May yes that
Priority One um
[34:51] 19 just over 19 minutes I went back and
looked and there was one call that
[34:55] skewed that entire thing and what it was
is a it was a medical Aid um
[35:01] overdose that should have been changed
the call for service should have been
[35:05] changed by the deputy as far as what it
was they should have changed it to an
[35:09] aod which they did not so a state of
priority one that would have slipped it
[35:12] down to a priority 2 and that would have
brought that down probably back in that
[35:16] range of just 8 minutes so looking at
June um 8 minutes 28 seconds and then
[35:21] the prude 20 just over 20
[35:25] minutes looking at July same right
around 8 minutes for Priority One uh
[35:31] same for priority 2 right around 29
minutes August just over eight minutes
[35:36] and then just under eight minutes in
September for priority ones is it weird
[35:40] captain to see priority three priority
four priority 4 be less than priority 3
[35:44] for the month of July it just a per call
thing priority 3 and priority 4 it's not
[35:49] a big difference yeah um it just matters
what it falls ass obviously priority
[35:53] one's our highest priorities and that's
why I'm focusing on that priority two is
[35:56] our next priority priority with that
deals
[35:59] mostly um with property yeah so I'm more
worried about the priority ones which
[36:05] it's a little high right now I like to
see it normally here it's in the seven
[36:08] range seven and a half range um I've
done stats for all of our cities and our
[36:12] County areas lately and our priorities
were up a little bit um for priority
[36:17] ones I don't know if that's related to
the fire if it's skewed or what happened
[36:20] but here we don't it didn't change our
staffing level so it should have changed
[36:22] here so we might not have had as many
deputies coming in backing up if we need
[36:26] them to on a priy one but it's it's a
little bit higher than higher than
[36:30] nor nothing to be alarmed at but except
for the one but it's just cuute from
[36:35] that one call here's our traffic related
uh stats we had a total of 11 collisions
[36:43] in
April we had one citation um written in
[36:48] April and one
DUI in may we had six collisions we had
[36:52] two citations written and two
DUIs in June we had six collisions
[36:58] 38
citations and uh three
[37:02] du so you can see it's quite a bit up in
June um you're going to see the same
[37:07] thing in July we had three collisions
and 36 citations 40i
[37:12] written we did have the checkpoint that
month so that's the reason that is up in
[37:18] June um I had a couple of deputies that
were out here and I pushed him heavily
[37:22] towards that Fourth of July weekend to
to do some traffic related um
[37:26] enforcement which they did and it
brought that up to to 36 citations so
[37:31] that's why June and July uh towards the
end of jun June and the beginning of
[37:36] July is where we got most of those
citations which is over
[37:39] 70 um August we had 12 collisions up
quite a bit and uh one citation written
[37:45] and one DUI in September seven
collisions two citations and two DUI
[37:53] rest and that covers all the stats for
those three months if you have any
[37:58] additional
[38:03] questions I have a question the
collisions how many on railro Canyon
[38:07] would you guess I would say not most of
them were inside the gate just for me
[38:12] looking back and seeing where the
collisions were a lot of them were were
[38:15] minor injury collisions inside the game
there was a couple on Railroad Canyon
[38:19] but most were most were inside and they
go slower inside the gates they tend to
[38:23] so the collisions are a little less hope
hopefully us you why they're less
[38:28] yeah less damage less injury less damage
less injury inside the gate because it
[38:32] is I have a question about that does
that include hit and run yes okay we
[38:37] have those y that's considered traic
question Captain can you help me
[38:43] understand a priority to call you write
pose or did pose immediate threat to
[38:48] human life or property could you give me
an example of that and the reason I ask
[38:53] is would it would help me better
understand
[38:57] about a half hour response to a priority
two call prior priority one is your
[39:03] highest level of call that is the same
as the fire department when they're
[39:07] responding CO3 to a call with lights and
Sirens or get there as quickly as
[39:10] possible and as shly somebody overdose
there's a medical emergency a baby's not
[39:15] breathing could be man with a gun could
be somebody armed that type of thing um
[39:20] a family fight to where there's maybe a
knife involved or a gun involved we're
[39:24] rolling code to those um anything that
there's not going to be a code response
[39:30] so it's going to be driving normal you
know obeying the laws of the road um and
[39:35] usually that's a lesser call to where
it's usually not any injury to a person
[39:40] it's going to be could be a fight a
fight's going to be a party to inv
[39:43] lesters unless there's maybe a gun or
knife involves some type of weapon
[39:48] baseball bat that would bump up the part
well but if it's just a fight in the
[39:51] street or an argument that type of thing
that's going to be a priority too um an
[39:54] alarm call at business is going to be a
priority
[39:57] to um those types of things burlar in
progress could be a one or a two usually
[40:02] it's a it's a one if there's someone
inside the
[40:05] house on a priority to is it one officer
one Deputy responding or are you you
[40:11] sending two deputies to it matters what
the call is most domestic violence calls
[40:15] are a priority to we're going to send
two deputies on those uh robbery um
[40:20] could be a priority one or two we're
sending two deputies berglar is going to
[40:23] be a priority one or two s sending two
deputies
[40:27] just to stabilize the
[40:31] situation I I'm really not trying to
press you oh no I have it's my
[40:35] understanding we have one Deputy who is
servicing Canyon Lake um at any point in
[40:43] time during the day is that correct
[40:48] correct I I I'm just seeing 29 minutes
26 minutes and 25 minutes can you help
[40:55] me understand that time for a deputy who
um
[41:00] is in my understanding either in Canon
lake or out at our town center or is
[41:06] that the case or if you look at all the
calls for Ser it's pretty sporadic if
[41:11] the deputy's on another call on another
one or two priority call got it he's
[41:15] staying on that call until he finishes
it now a priority two call most likely
[41:20] if it's not going to be long we won't
send another deputy knowing that he's
[41:24] going to be up that call but it could be
10 minutes which delays it um if it bump
[41:28] to a party mon call we're going to pull
another deputy into the city to handle
[41:31] other party mon call she'll have two in
here but it's kind of it's it's up to
[41:34] the decision of the supervisor to to
make those adjustments and bring
[41:38] additional deputies excellent thank you
C but that that priority too is not
[41:43] anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes is pretty
normal for any any City excellent thank
[41:48] you and that's why our bill like kind of
fluctuates because every time we pull in
[41:53] a second depy we get bu line not well if
you pull in a second Deputy if it goes
[41:59] over 30 minutes then we Bill if it's
under 30 minutes we don't Bill 15
[42:03] minutes we change it to 30 okay it was
15 for about a month okay we were trying
[42:08] something new um it was too much for
accounting and finance and it kind of
[42:11] got convoluted we switched it to 30
minutes so every every 30 minutes now
[42:14] it's we'd be willing to accept an
[42:18] hour so not not too often I mean there
is additional billing to have especially
[42:22] if you have a large traffic Legion and
we have to bring additional resources
[42:25] into traffic control and that type of
[42:29] thank thank you all right thank
Captain city of Canyon Lake Fire
[42:37] Department chief lendus good to see you
[Music]
[42:42] again good evening again Mr Mayor mayor
protm city council City staff je
[42:47] attenders your fire chief and I'm here
tonight to present not just the uh
[42:51] monthly statistics for September but
since we were dark in August I'm
[42:57] catching up for August to so it may take
a little bit longer to get through
[43:00] everything tonight so for the uh the
month of August we had 86 emergency
[43:06] responses one month later we had 111 and
so September was our second busiest
[43:12] month for this year one of our busiest
months since the fire department started
[43:15] operations in January of
[Music]
[43:19] 2022 in August we had six fire responses
56 medical responses one hazardous
[43:27] condition eight service calls 14 good
attemp calls and that came to the 86
[43:33] responses in September we had four fire
responses 73 medical responses eight
[43:39] service calls 15 good attent calls and
one special
[43:45] incident our fire calls for the month of
August on August 3rd we were uh part of
[43:50] a mutual a or an automatic Aid response
to the
[43:54] 27300 block of Jarvis and metab there
was an approximately 1 acre brush fire
[43:59] there that our engine assisted on on
August 4th we had a vehicle fire at the
[44:04] intersection of Sparkle in Canyon Lake
Drive South uh the engine compartment of
[44:09] that vehicle was fully destroyed on
August 6th we had another vehicle fire
[44:15] this one was in Meadowbrook in the
20,300 Block of Mountain the vehicle
[44:20] fire actually spread into the vegetation
and so it was a fairly large response
[44:24] for that one on August 13th we had an
equipment fire in the 29400 block of
[44:31] stampede way that turned out to be a
fire in a water heater on August 16th
[44:37] the structure fire in the area of metal
Brook in the 22,300 block of Hyatt it
[44:43] was a modular home with a fire in an
attic or a basement crawl space and then
[44:49] on a August 17th we had a structure fire
in the 29300 block of vacation drive and
[44:56] that was started by a barbecue on a
wooden deck that started the wooden deck
[45:01] on fire so so half of the fires in
August were in meow Brook that is
[45:07] correct
yes you know it's interesting uh
[45:12] speaking with Chief Roberts lately he uh
he said that with his tenure in
[45:17] Riverside County calire he ran most of
his fires into the meter Community it
[45:22] was a very active area for
fires our September fire responses
[45:28] September 10th everybody knows this one
it was a brush fire uh our units
[45:32] initially responded to the abill ranch
in Nicholas Road area this was the
[45:36] airport fire and our firefighters were
part of Riverside County Task Force 2
[45:41] and they were deployed for over two days
to that incident on September 13th there
[45:46] was a vehicle fire on Highway 74 in
Riverside Lane in Lake Elenor that
[45:51] turned out to be a false alarm on
September 18th we had a structure fire
[45:56] in the
29400 block of a stampede it was an
[46:01] attic in a fire in an attic uh it had
potential to do some extensive damage
[46:08] that happened at about 2:00 in the
morning uh the occupants were alerted by
[46:12] their smoke alarms so kind of ironic
here we are fire prevention week uh they
[46:17] got out the uh actually their home had
their smoke alarms connected to their
[46:22] alarm system and the alarm company was
one of the reporting parties and then on
[46:27] September 30th we had an equipment fire
in 23 800 block of Outrigger drive and
[46:33] it was again another water heater
[46:37] fire our time of day it it's kind of
interesting when I watch the captain
[46:41] give his report a lot of times when he's
the busiest we're the slowest but um you
[46:46] know in the early morning hours we have
our slowest period of time we peek up in
[46:51] the early afternoon in the late evening
and then in in the midnight and early
[46:56] morning hours were typically a little
bit slower here in August you can see
[47:00] we're really slow in the morning hours
and stayed fairly consistent throughout
[47:04] the rest of the
night during the month of September uh
[47:09] this slower period stayed longer in the
morning time and then it really peaked
[47:13] about uh 6:00 at night where over the
month 12 of our responses were in that
[47:19] time period again we try to plan our
responses or our training uh during the
[47:24] slower period so our activities are not
inck impacted by emergency
[47:29] responses overall as we look where the
fires occurred uh it's always consistent
[47:34] the majority of our incidents occur in
single family residents but again during
[47:38] the month of August we had one response
to the fire station and during the month
[47:43] of September we had two responses to the
fire station so again whatever we try to
[47:47] do if we can get the word out we're not
always there please call 911 and the
[47:51] closest available resource will be
dispatched this just again a heat map of
[47:57] the month of August of where our
responses were inside Canyon
[48:02] Lake a little bit different from the
month of
[48:07] September and then we look at our
response times during the month of
[48:11] August our turnout time and that's from
the time we hear at the fire station of
[48:15] an incident until we actually go in
route or responding to it during the
[48:19] month of August it was 1 minute 2
seconds and during the month of
[48:23] September it was 1 minute 7 Seconds um
to me this is a little bit alarming we
[48:27] want to try to keep that number below a
minute on our average 50% of the time so
[48:32] we've already been working with our
Personnel on trying to keep an eye on
[48:35] this try to understand what we're doing
that's taking a little bit longer so
[48:39] that we can decrease it our travel time
or the time from going in route to
[48:44] arriving on scene in August was 5
minutes 51 seconds and in September 5
[48:49] minutes and 19 seconds and then finally
the overall response time from time of
[48:55] notification time of arrival on scene
August was 6 minutes and 46 seconds and
[49:00] then in September 6 minutes and 7
[49:05] seconds again what's important to us is
50% of the time is good but it's not a
[49:10] good snapshot what are we doing 90% of
the time well 90% of the time we're
[49:14] getting out of the station in August 1
minute 34 seconds and in September 1
[49:19] minute 44 seconds so again these are
higher than we'd like to see they are
[49:24] still below our goals uh but we still
want to try to improve on these our
[49:28] travel time in August was 7 Minutes 56
seconds and then in September 7 minutes
[49:33] 59 seconds and then finally our total
response time 9 Minutes 8 seconds in
[49:39] August and then 9 minutes and 9 seconds
in
[49:43] September automatic and mutually during
the month of August Canyon Lake
[49:48] responded 13 times into the adjoining
jurisdictions 12 were in Lake Elenor one
[49:54] was in Good Hope and then one in menae
this year so far Canyon Lake has
[49:58] responded to 91 incidents outside the
city 78 in Lake Elenor and seven in Good
[50:04] Hope and six in
mene this is just a map showing where
[50:09] those incidents occur during the month
of August and again you can see where
[50:14] they occur a lot of them are in the
Meadowbrook area we'll see in September
[50:18] that changed a little bit though as we
look at September we responded to 22
[50:23] incidents outside the city 11 in the uh
Lake Elenor area and these are the ZIP
[50:29] code areas so I'll try to clarify that
one in good H hope and 10 in manae and
[50:33] then so far this year including August
and September now we've responded 113
[50:39] incidents outside the city 89 in Lake
elen or 16 in Good Hope and eight in
[50:46] menae so these were the locations of
where the incidents were and you can
[50:51] kind of see a change this time that we
went into mene a lot more than we have
[50:55] typically gone into to in our previous
months um so I I don't know the reasons
[51:01] why what was going on in mene but they
needed us more often in that
[51:06] area and then just a detailed map of all
of our automatic and mutual a outside
[51:11] the city uh so far this year for the
total of
[51:16] 113 in the month of August calfire
responded seven times into the City and
[51:21] during the month of September they
responded eight times into the city so
[51:26] so this year calfire has come into the
city 68 times to assist us on emergency
[51:32] incidents um this is the map showing
where those incidents are why do they
[51:37] come in and help us but we could have
back-to-back incidents or concurring
[51:40] incidents so we need help because we're
committed to another call there are
[51:44] incidents that require more than one
unit as you were asking about law
[51:48] enforcement Priority One and priority
two there are certain medical
[51:51] emergencies such as a cardiac arrest
that require two engines and then if
[51:56] there a traffic accident depending on
the kind of information they're getting
[52:00] if there are people trapped that will
elicit a larger responsive fire units
[52:04] and then obviously structure fires will
also bring in additional units than the
[52:09] one engine that we need so that's why we
use calfire on um the 68 times thus far
[52:15] this
year our training hours during the two
[52:19] months we had 329 hours of training
hours to date this year we've had
[52:25] 2,411 uh for for the months of August
and September we focused on Rick
[52:29] training a rapid intervention crew
that's an example of what we did we set
[52:33] up a prop we make like wires so if
there's a drop ceiling that come down
[52:37] our firefighters can negotiate it again
it's it's busy Wildland time as we saw
[52:42] this last two months so we did Wildland
structural defense training we did
[52:46] simulations on Wildland there's a new
EMS program that we're learning coming
[52:50] from the county called hands heavy and
it is basically a better way to identify
[52:56] how to give medications and dosages to
our pediatric patients so we're going
[53:01] through that training we did rope Rescue
Training our reserves focus on Emergency
[53:05] Medical Service training uh blood
pathogen training for all Personnel
[53:10] driver operator training and then
finally Fire officer training and an
[53:14] officers
meeting public education during the two
[53:18] months we uh did the taco Tuesday and
the last one with the Maui Sunday we
[53:22] were here for the city hall
groundbreaking uh we had a team as part
[53:26] of the men's club golf tournament and
the firefighters were out there
[53:31] encouraging us U wild 911 Patriots Day
ceremony at City Hall or at the fire
[53:37] station was cancelled we had a private
ceremony and it was still very special
[53:41] and moving uh we participated in the
kids Derby kids fishing derby uh Harbor
[53:46] Fish Battle of the businesses and then
finally our daily interaction with the
[53:51] community our significant event kind of
talked about it earlier was the airport
[53:56] fire
um for those who don't know it was
[53:58] started by uh County Public Works
Personnel in Orange County it started on
[54:04] September 9th on September 9th in the
evening uh all the Fire Chiefs in the
[54:09] county got on a conference call we
talked about available resources what
[54:13] could we do because the fire chief knew
Riverside County fire chief knew the
[54:17] fire was coming into Riverside County uh
Canyon Lake was able to survey all of
[54:22] our Personnel it's what we call a plan
need we were able to staff a second
[54:27] engine we brought them in the next
morning we had two engines staffed uh
[54:32] ready to go for a response either inside
the city or to assist in the fire and
[54:37] then about 2:00 they dispatched us as
part of the task force which included
[54:42] units from other cities in Riverside
County the crew was gone for about two
[54:47] days over two days um they were uh
prepositioned in Lake Elenor for
[54:51] structural protection and we're very
proud of their efforts we're proud to be
[54:55] part of the community Community the fire
Community helping each other during a
[54:58] large incident like this still lost over
100 homes a lot of those in the eliso
[55:04] area in Riverside County and so it's
still a very tragic incident for our
[55:09] County and so that concludes my report
and I'm available for any questions if
[55:13] you have
[55:15] any any
questions I do educate Mark Terry Knight
[55:22] what what is a good intent call so a
good intent might be someone thought
[55:26] they saw smoke and they call us out
there and we get there and it's a
[55:31] barbecue or something along that line
that could be a good intent call it they
[55:35] call it in thinking it's a an Emergency
we get there we find out it's not wasn't
[55:40] malicious it was a good intent call
thank
[55:45] you I feel good thank you a comment the
Canyon Lake Insider sent me an article
[55:51] that says msjc is going to open a new
paramedic training program I don't know
[55:55] if you're aware of that that it's right
down the street
[55:59] uh Friday I got the same text and so I
think that's great news uh any place
[56:04] that we can get more of our local
individuals trained in param medicine uh
[56:09] I think uh supervisor Jeff recently put
out an article um that talked about the
[56:15] critical shortages in Public Safety in
fire fighting in paramedicine in law
[56:20] enforcement California Highway Patrol
and anything we can do to bring more
[56:25] people into the profession
would it's only going to help all of us
[56:29] it's just nice to see something within
like basically ebiking distance from our
[56:33] fire station rather than having to
travel to Riverside or we fully agree
[56:38] and we hope there's some way we can
partner with them in the future bringing
[56:41] in reserve firefighters from there
giving them experience U you know we're
[56:45] willing to partner with them and help
out as best we can that's awesome it
[56:49] sounds wonderful yeah thank you thank
you thank you chief
[56:56] okay that will end that section do we do
we have any public
[57:01] comments mayor we do not any both on non
agenda and on consent agenda that's
[57:06] correct
okay okay council member
[57:12] reports uh anyone like to go
[57:20] first everybody silent they're going to
let me do mine
[57:23] first okay I had some meeting I had some
meetings this week I just want to thank
[57:27] the staff the state and city uh they
they helped me along uh just I have to
[57:33] appreciate
that I miss something on
[57:37] theenda perfect so uh I just want to say
wanted to say I appreciate that uh
[57:43] Northwest Northwest Vector uh is working
on a five-year business plan so I'm part
[57:48] of that group we're working on that I
was able to attend wemar state of the
[57:52] city that was a great
experience um Le did a presentation
[57:57] about a week and a half ago about the
Allen treatment and the fish dieye that
[58:00] occurred in the spring didn't get a lot
of great attendance but the information
[58:04] was good so just to be a heads up to
everyone next week October 14th through
[58:09] 18th they plan on doing another alen
treatment so just if you see that boat
[58:13] out there spraying unknown things out in
the water uh that that's going to happen
[58:18] uh so that's coming uh one of the
reasons that they are delaying the Alum
[58:23] a little bit is they think that last
fish die may have had something to do
[58:25] with the pH of the water so now before
they do Al treatments they're going to
[58:30] test the ph and make sure that that
there will be less or hopefully no
[58:34] reaction and that's all I
[58:42] have okay moving on to consent agenda
well I'll give an update if we're just
[58:47] going to do it that way wait you want
everyone to give an update you have
[58:50] stuff to say too right sure um I'll be
quick rctc um Holland Road you all
[58:55] familiar with that we got a bypass
that's happening in two weeks I think
[58:58] all of us got a calendar invite that's
going to be huge for the city of Min so
[59:01] you can go over the 215 um so that's
happening um I believe at 9:00 a.m.
[59:05] October 22nd the other thing um RTA we
went to DC two weeks ago um it was the
[59:13] first time we've ever did a joint trip
with rctc and RTA I talked about it last
[59:17] month um really good productive meeting
with uh Congressman you Senator
[59:23] Transportation folks um so trying get
dollars back to Riverside County the big
[59:28] thing that is happening in
transportation as most of you are aware
[59:32] is this whole electrical movement thing
and we're just not ready so hydrogen's a
[59:35] big push of what RTA is doing um another
shout out we have what are we 27 days
[59:41] now away from an election um RTA is
giving free rides to the polls so pretty
[59:47] cool countywide so anyone can hop on a
bus and get driven into a poll if they
[59:51] can find a route that favors them um our
CEO implemented that pretty much on her
[59:56] first day um as CEO so it's pretty cool
to see that that's it thank you
[1:00:01] mayor okay Mark are you ready I
[1:00:08] am my uh wife and I had the opportunity
to uh attend the Riverside uh recovery
[1:00:14] resource comedy night um Riverside
recovery resource is a
[1:00:21] 501c3 and uh they are a nonprofit
organization that provides alcohol and
[1:00:26] drug addiction recovery opportunities

[1:00:39] completely sold out and uh in I don't
want to make light of this but to keep

[1:03:48] watching Animal Friends Animal Friends
the valley they they do a they do a
[1:03:53] presentation every every time we have
these meetings and walked through the
[1:03:57] numbers
of animals that were adopted during
[1:04:02] covid during 2020 and then the number of
them that got turned back when people
[1:04:06] had to go back to work so they're really
looking for additional volunteers to
[1:04:12] help with the with the animals they have
a they have a great reading program
[1:04:17] where kids and adults go read to the
read to the animals and it's and it's
[1:04:22] really sweet to see little 2-year-old
read to them and just talk about the
[1:04:27] pictures and engage with the engage with
the animals but they're always looking
[1:04:32] for
volunteers and please consider adopting
[1:04:36] if you're looking for a new pet because
they have plenty of animals they do get
[1:04:40] a lot of support from rescues in the
area they work very closely with rescues
[1:04:45] to see if they can have have the rescues
Foster the animals before they before
[1:04:50] they have to come back
and you know there's lots of lots of
[1:04:55] talk about inflation and the prices of
everything going up and if anyone is
[1:05:02] considering turning in an animal because
they can't afford food animal France has
[1:05:08] a food bank that is available to all of
our all of our CI citizens that need

needed if it's going to help keep an
[1:05:18] animal out of the shelter and keep it in

stuff that's happening behind the scenes
[1:07:04] but I can say in confidence that with
you um as our CM we're going to get so

part of that I know your ability to give
[1:09:35] responsibility to others um not because

[1:11:18] Mar okay um business item six upgrading
update regarding the police service
[1:11:26] assessment we'll have a presentation by
city manager Brent would you like to go
[1:11:31] ahead with that I'm going to go ahead
and delegate that to the trained
[1:11:40] professionals good evening Mr Mayor good
evening mayor protm members of the
[1:11:45] council and uh city manager Brown
congratulations uh John Sullivan for GPS
[1:11:51] Consulting U what I'm going to do in the
next few minutes is give you a brief
[1:11:58] overview of the police services
assessment of Matt Rodriguez and I put
[1:12:05] together for the council um essentially
we looked at various alternative courses
[1:12:10] of action from police services in County
Lake we uh assessed the potenti
[1:12:16] potentiality of uh including mayor can I
interrupt for a second I can't tell if
[1:12:22] the mic is not on I'm not getting the
audio it's on it's on okay so just bring
[1:12:27] it a little closer thank you okay can
you hear me now I get right up here okay
[1:12:31] we assess various alternative CES of
action for police services including
[1:12:35] retaining the Riverside Sheriff's Office
establishing a dedicated Municipal
[1:12:38] Police Department and utilizing external
providers the key considerations we
[1:12:44] looked at included community policing
technology integration and
[1:12:48] organizational models we looked at a
number a couple potential external
[1:12:53] providers to include meny and Mett
although we did not make a determination
[1:12:58] of which might be the most desirable the
alternative course of action uh that we
[1:13:02] essentially looked at were number one
the status quo retaining Riverside
[1:13:07] Sheriff's Office number two providing
intense oversight and contract
[1:13:11] compliance goals to uh the Riverside
Sheriff's office or status quo plus
[1:13:17] establishing a dedicated Municipal
Police Department looking at a long-term
[1:13:21] contract with an external police
provider uh including both police and
[1:13:26] community service officers looking at an
interim contract with an external
[1:13:31] provider for the same establishing a
hybrid service model which would be an
[1:13:36] external service provider plus Municipal
Power professional providers that could
[1:13:41] be the with the uh Riverside Sheriff's
office or an external Municipal provider
[1:13:46] that could be done either in the interm
or in the long term and finally the
[1:13:50] seven which would work with any of the
above uh courses of action or Co is
[1:13:55] would be leveraging new technology and
practice as part of any one of those
[1:13:59] options and the examples might be using
utilizing Dr drones as a technology and
[1:14:04] practice intelligence L
police so questions for
[1:14:10] consideration for the for the city
council one do you do you consider
[1:14:15] creating your own Police Department if
so would it be a hybrid model uh which
[1:14:20] if you recall our last briefing was
employed in the city of Lancaster in Los
[1:14:24] Angeles County some good effect or a
full service agency which obviously
[1:14:28] would be more costly um second to in
embedd it would you embed the police
[1:14:34] department within a public safety
department and would that include
[1:14:37] integrating with code enforcement Animal
Control Community engagement as a
[1:14:41] function or any others and there are
positive you know benefits to to that as
[1:14:46] well as
drawbacks where would we focus if you
[1:14:51] were to establish your own agency the
public safety uh answering point or
[1:14:56] dispatch function uh would you continue
to contract with Beretta would you
[1:15:00] create your own there's another options
there what would the future relationship
[1:15:04] with Riverside Sheriff's Office be and
whichever way you went there's going to
[1:15:09] be a relationship with the sheriff the
sheriff's a chief law enforcement
[1:15:11] officer of the county there are
countywide functions that need to be
[1:15:14] provided there's a law enforcement
Mutual Aid uh wherever you go they're a
[1:15:18] partner they're part of the the process
what would the relationship with the U
[1:15:23] Property Owners Association contract
security be if that is a key core
[1:15:28] question whichever model you go with you
know to move forward and then you
[1:15:33] ultimately need to select an
organizational model is it going to be
[1:15:36] your own police dedicated to hybrid uh
how would you do that so moving on in
[1:15:42] our written report we put together a
notional model for a county and Lake
[1:15:45] Police Department not assuming that you
do it but if you were to go that way uh
[1:15:51] we we determined that previous studies
indicated that the average cost of a
[1:15:55] full-time equivalent law enforcement
position in a region including payroll
[1:15:59] and operational cost is approximately
$210,000 per per anom using that model
[1:16:05] we determined the city could build a 12
person department for an estimated
[1:16:09] annual cost of about
$2,520 th000 so it's probably in a range
[1:16:14] of possibility should you want to go
there um the components of that model
[1:16:19] would be and we emphasized it um
community-based policing or community
[1:16:24] policing has to be the core Foundation
of what you're going to do if you're
[1:16:27] going to do this you're going to need to
look at Innovative Staffing models and I
[1:16:31] think in the report we suggested some
and will'll make some comments toward
[1:16:35] the end utilizing technology is going to
be essential to leveraging all those
[1:16:40] capabilities one example of a practice
that could help and should be integrated
[1:16:44] is crime prevention through
environmental design or seped and one
[1:16:48] that I firmly believe helps you
effectively allocate your resources
[1:16:52] whichever way you go is intelligence L
policing
[1:16:55] which is in modern parlament being
augmented with Concepts called Problem
[1:16:59] oriented policing and and uh
evidence-based policing they're similar
[1:17:04] they're nuanced either way intelligence
has to drive your resource allocation so
[1:17:09] what would we do community policing has
to have active engagement of the
[1:17:13] community Innovative Staffing could
include leveraging level one Reserve
[1:17:17] police officers who have the ability to
work independently have the kep
[1:17:21] qualification through California post
you could enhance with volunteers on
[1:17:26] patrol um and administrative volunteers
for example LAPD has an administrative
[1:17:31] volunteer program Reserve program that's
like the best in in the planet perhaps
[1:17:37] some of those things could come together
law enforcement Explorer Program could
[1:17:41] be a way to leverage capability get
visibility out there train a future
[1:17:45] Workforce neighborhood and business
watch programs are a Hallmark of most
[1:17:50] modern policing in most cities and I
think even though this a unique City
[1:17:54] there are opportun to do that as well
technology drones uh both unman aerial
[1:18:00] vehicles uh or what they call uas on
aerial systems could definitely be used
[1:18:06] there are options to do autonomous
systems there are options to do hybrid
[1:18:11] systems that could be autonomous you
could fly them out or you could control
[1:18:14] them uh they could give you uh
visibility they're a nice Force
[1:18:18] multiplier Escondido down in San Diego
County who's done a great job with those
[1:18:21] type of things automated license plate
leaders readers or something that could
[1:18:26] be integrated within that expanded they
be added to patrol Vehicles close
[1:18:31] circuit te television or video
monitoring Now videos don't stop crime
[1:18:35] but they help you investigate crime and
get a very good clearance rate down the
[1:18:39] down the road and that's helpful uh
crime prevention through environmental
[1:18:43] design uh a core concept one of the
issues that we have heard that
[1:18:48] experiences the golf carts across the
railroad Canyon Road there may be design
[1:18:54] features to alleviate that problem that
may mitigate some of the social uh
[1:18:58] engineering problems that you encounter
intelligence LED policing I mentioned
[1:19:03] knowledge knowledge based policing
problem ored policing data mining is
[1:19:08] another core component there and it's
not just where your crimes have occurred
[1:19:11] and looking at hotspots is looking at
who your offenders are so you can Target
[1:19:15] that offender base and try to prevent
their future activity um I think that
[1:19:21] should bring us toward the end
concluding we examine the the current
[1:19:25] state of law enforcement service
provisioned in the city of c cany and
[1:19:28] Lake um after assessing the current
contract model with service provided by
[1:19:33] Riverside Insurance's office and several
alternative provision models uh we
[1:19:37] thought your options key options were
retaining the current Riverside
[1:19:41] Sheriff's Office contract enhancing that
contract particularly with enhanced you
[1:19:46] know one option would be enhanced
accountability of deeper relationships
[1:19:50] toward guiding of you know future
priorities or creating a new service
[1:19:55] model establishing a dedicated Municipal
Department either full service or hybrid
[1:20:00] is is within the realm of possibility
contract law enforcement may be
[1:20:04] expedient it could it could certainly do
it I come from a department that created
[1:20:09] the modern contract law enforcement
model in the United States it can be
[1:20:12] very very effective or it cannot and if
you've seen LA County where I've come
[1:20:18] from there are questions about how
effective that is for being responsive
[1:20:22] to a community's need for example on the
Metro System
[1:20:25] uh so that's a question to think about
if you were to contract because building
[1:20:29] a police department takes some time uh
contract could be either on a long-term
[1:20:33] basis or it could be inal inum might
help you get to where you want to go
[1:20:37] whichever way you choose um we do not
offer a specific course of action
[1:20:44] because it's a public policy decision
for the council but we do believe that
[1:20:48] establishing a dedicated Municipal
Police agency is fusal the cost is there
[1:20:53] the operational potentials are there
it's a decision that needs to be made
[1:20:58] and pursued with further analysis you
could establish an effective uh agency
[1:21:02] either full service a hybrid um you
could opt for a new contract law
[1:21:07] enforcement provider using either full
service or hybrid and that could be a
[1:21:11] step to of Full Service Agency which
obviously gives the highest level of
[1:21:16] accountability to your to your collected
body if you do want to move forward with
[1:21:21] any of the options other than what you
already have um for doing this there we'
[1:21:26] recommend a couple steps you need would
need to develop a Police Service
[1:21:30] implementation plan that would have to
identify specific details and articulate
[1:21:34] an implementation timetable how long you
want to do it and what you
[1:21:39] know what are battles you want to
implement the steps you'd have to
[1:21:43] recruit personnel and that's going to be
for any law enforcement agency your
[1:21:46] highest cost and your highest area of
risk uh particularly establishing a
[1:21:50] chief officer and Command Staff uh
acquiring you know facilities and
[1:21:55] vehicles material development of
policies and procedures you can't just
[1:21:59] cut and paste one from somewhere else
that never works anywhere although
[1:22:03] people continue to try um you know so
those are your options um I will say
[1:22:09] that what in our offering the options
we're not being critical of any agency
[1:22:13] I'll will tell you that ride Sheriff's
Office deputy sheriff's there are
[1:22:17] professionals I've worked with them over
the last 35 40 years they certainly are
[1:22:22] but the question comes to what level of
accountability and responsib this best
[1:22:27] needs meets the needs of the city uh as
we've talked in the past there is no one
[1:22:33] right answer no one size fits all and
sometimes it changes you know so the the
[1:22:39] question is there if you do move forward
you're going to need to do a really
[1:22:43] detailed cost analysis really flesh it
out and then think of putting together a
[1:22:48] transition team whatever happens the
sheriff is a partner um I was a career
[1:22:54] deputy Sheriff uh elected law
enforcement officials have strengths um
[1:22:59] but the world is changing there's
reasons people out to leave this the
[1:23:04] county and create you know create cities
and there reasons for uh for those
[1:23:09] models whatever you do there's going to
need to be ongoing uh funding stream and
[1:23:14] there are possibilities and if I to do
the implementation study I look at
[1:23:18] Economic Development as part of that um
the city manager we discuss those
[1:23:23] possibilities off that has to be part of
it you know policing isn't separate from
[1:23:27] governance it's a intrical part of that
so that's our presentation U myself and
[1:23:32] uh Mr Rodriguez for available for any
questions you may have and I apologize
[1:23:37] for the snaap who with the mic to
[Music]
[1:23:43] Stu any
[1:23:47] questions there a lot of
[1:23:50] information well there's a lot there uh
the written report covers in a bit more
[1:23:55] detail I hope you can hear there has
more detail and obviously if you were to
[1:24:00] go down any road toward implementation U
obviously detailed implementation study
[1:24:06] would need to be conducted and that
would be developed in uh conjunction
[1:24:10] with the city manager his staff and
obviously your county consultation f um
[1:24:15] I got a few questions um thank you for
the presentation uh we appreciate the
[1:24:19] followup especially the way that the two
of you decided to break up this
[1:24:23] conversation I think last month we
looked at the data and the statistics
[1:24:27] and now we looked at um a different
approach of Alternatives in your
[1:24:32] research um there had to been some
common denominators if you must in
[1:24:37] regards to whether it's call time or
types of calls or types of service that
[1:24:43] we need in your experience do you
believe that um what's lacking in Canyon
[1:24:49] Lake is a consistent presence or is it
is it the system that we current L have
[1:24:55] that's maybe causing some of the issues
what kind of feedback did your research
[1:24:59] tell you on the needs and wants of what
you think from the law enforcement
[1:25:02] standpoint Canyon Lake is needing that's
a complicated question with no easy
[1:25:06] answer but I will say that given the the
cost that you're that you're paying um
[1:25:14] you could for the same amount of money
or not too much more money in has the
[1:25:19] level of coverage um and there are ways
to do that flexibly um I think having
[1:25:26] you know there's not a lot of crime in
kindy like um that's that's a good thing
[1:25:30] I'm not going to say it's a bad thing I
look at the stats here uh when I was a
[1:25:34] Watch Commander in LA county I had weeks
that we had more crime you know um I had
[1:25:38] more admin investigations of my
Personnel than you guys are doing that's
[1:25:43] good you don't want crime um having
full-time supervision out there is is
[1:25:49] valuable I think the model good support
having depending upon how you staff it
[1:25:53] 12 Staffing uh 12-hour models you might
be able to get a a field supervisor out
[1:25:59] there in addition to a police officer
regularly um I think you could enhance
[1:26:04] the number of people with you know using
reserves and reserves don't always have
[1:26:09] to be paid they're what models depending
upon what you negotiate you don't have a
[1:26:13] union here but what you negotiate you
could probably pay them as well um I
[1:26:18] think you could get more coverage I
don't think the quality of coverage
[1:26:21] you're getting is bad I mean it's
certainly a professional police agency
[1:26:25] they're responsive they understand your
needs so I'm not critiquing the
[1:26:29] professionalism of any of my peer
agencies I'm saying that there may be
[1:26:33] more costeffective models into the
future that can be more accountable to
[1:26:38] to the city council and may be more
responsive to the to the residents but
[1:26:42] that's to be determined and I think a
further study could look at each one of
[1:26:46] those options at greater death we did a
very quick Deep dive over a couple month
[1:26:52] period myself and my uh partner um Mr
Rodriguez have a pretty deep level of
[1:26:58] experience in law enforcement and I've
helped build several contract models for
[1:27:03] LA County including one
that's in current times being
[1:27:09] reconsidered in establishing their own
police agency and I'm not going to
[1:27:13] second guess the Board of Supervisors
and the Metro board it's their ultimate
[1:27:18] responsibility but as they move forward
I would tell them what I'm going to tell
[1:27:22] you is do a really good detail
assessment will get what it means to
[1:27:26] yourself talk to your city manager talk
to the residents the residents have to
[1:27:31] be part of the consultation facultative
process so obviously you're the decision
[1:27:34] makers policy makers but as you know
getting Buy in from the community is
[1:27:39] essential and that's under community
policing but I think more resources um
[1:27:44] and a more intense focused
responsiveness to to your governing
[1:27:49] board would probably be achieved could
be achieved but it could be achieved
[1:27:52] through you know ifying your contract as
well you know or your own agency the
[1:27:57] hybrid model in Lancaster got the best
of both worlds they didn't get rid of
[1:28:01] the sheriff's contract they added a
directed Patrol capability on top of
[1:28:06] that with a municipal agency to enhance
the level of coverage you know so that's
[1:28:11] why a I think a more detailed study
could help you better understand what
[1:28:16] what works best for
you we don't currently have csos do you
[1:28:21] see any kind of value any including them
here I think csl's give you some some
[1:28:27] flexibility you know community service
officers uh are used throughout the
[1:28:33] United States they're used in in Great
Britain for example for non highrisk
[1:28:38] calls for report calls you know the you
know the reports you know afterwards of
[1:28:44] burglaries or vehicle thefts that don't
put somebody at risk to use them for uh
[1:28:49] helping do traffic control and in the
current environment where some people
[1:28:52] are skeptical of of the police for some
lower level uh ordinance uh infraction
[1:28:59] you know or civil uh citation processes
similar to what you know Code
[1:29:04] Enforcement Officers use I think they
give you flexibility um there are
[1:29:08] civilian investigators that could do
some of those things you don't need to
[1:29:12] be a sworn peace officer with the you
know the incredibly you know beneficial
[1:29:17] retirement all the copil we love that
part of it but the cost is is high I
[1:29:21] think community service officers uh some
EMP professionals can can help be part
[1:29:26] of the model that moves forward but of
course that could be done in a hybrid
[1:29:30] model or could be negotiated with your
current provider as well but csls give
[1:29:35] you
flexibility thank
[1:29:39] you
yes understanding that the 2.5 million
[1:29:44] is an estimate what's not included in
that well obviously big question well
[1:29:51] obviously um you know acts of God you
know disasters things that you don't
[1:29:57] know that are going to bring greater you
know demand Employee Service those occur
[1:30:01] um for is probably considering that as
an issue right now certainly with the
[1:30:06] enhanced risk of Wildland fire and other
things so increased demand either in an
[1:30:12] extremist capability or should the
population grow if you were to incor you
[1:30:17] know Annex unincorporated area that
would change that those cost figures um
[1:30:23] if the sheriff and a board of supervisor
of the County of Riverside decide to
[1:30:28] change their cost model because they
want you know or their liability risk
[1:30:33] pull figures don't work out right that
could drive up the cost of of policing
[1:30:38] those you know those things are volatile
but they're usually not short-term
[1:30:42] volatile okay but but there is always
Vol viability in a provision of
[1:30:46] government
service did did that include startup
[1:30:50] costs or was that a this is what the
costing would be for personnel that's
[1:30:56] what the costing would be for personnel
the bulk of your equipment the startup
[1:31:00] cost shouldn't be great I mean there's
going to be a cost to an additional
[1:31:02] study and I suspect it would be greater
than for the initial police service
[1:31:07] assessment we did now because it would
be great higher level of effort more
[1:31:12] work you'd have to negotiate the terms I
mean there's there's more moving part of
[1:31:16] the implementation but the
implementation costs shouldn't double
[1:31:21] that but there there'll be
implementation costs
[1:31:24] can you elaborate a little bit on
technology you spoke about drones yeah
[1:31:28] other Technologies and what I find
intriguing about that is it kind of
[1:31:33] increases your presence would that be a
correct yeah well it could it can
[1:31:39] increase your presence U because you can
make them visible although I've often
[1:31:44] told some of my colleagues when they're
like we're going to put out decoys I'm
[1:31:47] like you know what the the criminal
element understands the decoy if you
[1:31:52] don't wash the decoy
quite car it's it's dusty it ain't going
[1:31:56] to work um cameras there are people who
think we're going to put a camera up
[1:32:00] it's going to stop crime cameras don't
prevent crime they do enhance your you
[1:32:05] know improve your clearance rate which
in the long term you know helps has
[1:32:09] theer effect can incarcerate the people
who need to be um they can provide
[1:32:14] visibility they can provide enhanced
sensing and that's probably the best
[1:32:18] thing because the most important thing I
think and I was spent bulk of my police
[1:32:22] career doing intelligence so I favor
this so there's a bias on what you know
[1:32:27] but good information allows you to make
better decisions and if I could
[1:32:31] understand the risk I can understand um
where the crimes are occurring I can
[1:32:35] understand the actors are committing the
crimes I can understand the spatial
[1:32:39] Dimension you know the hot spots are
they there what time these things are
[1:32:43] occurring I can calibrate my response I
can get out get ahead of it um using the
[1:32:49] drones are incredibly powerful they s
you can put cameras on them you can put
[1:32:56] uh infrared devices you can put motion
sensors you can put chemical sensors um
[1:33:01] automated license plate readers and
obviously those are not unknown here but
[1:33:07] they can be placed on vehicles they can
help you search things they can help you
[1:33:10] see things develop patterns um you tie
all those things together um and you can
[1:33:17] push them out right now uh onto an edge
device so all these things can be pushed
[1:33:22] out to a you could monitor those
yourself if you were someone call a city
[1:33:27] manager although I would hope that you
rely upon your command staff and your
[1:33:31] field supervisors but you would have the
ability to look at that when needed and
[1:33:35] you will have times when you want to
know and what to need for accountability
[1:33:39] so it can help you get a better
decision-making platform and that's the
[1:33:42] real core because the one thing and I've
told this to more than one Sheriff more
[1:33:46] than one mayor it's not just low cost
it's not efficiency is not just cost
[1:33:53] efficiency is Effectiveness as
operations as well so sometimes paying a
[1:33:56] little more if you're getting better
quality responsive service is worth it
[1:34:00] because you get what you pay for right
but you need to calibrate that with your
[1:34:04] with your means capability that's why we
thought you have the foundation to
[1:34:08] support more if you want the thing is
you don't just want to blindly put out
[1:34:13] more visibility because there's a
concept called over fortification if you
[1:34:17] put a lot of cops out there their
Public's like why do we have all these
[1:34:20] cops so you have to be subtle right
that's why I talking about business
[1:34:23] ability has times when it's really good
and there are times like when you want
[1:34:27] to be really covert and be quiet and you
have to you have to Command Decision on
[1:34:32] how you do that and again there's no one
right answer because it's operational
[1:34:36] art not science but the better
information you have the better artist
[1:34:40] you can
be um in your when you're looking at you
[1:34:45] know our call volume and the type of
calls that we're receiving here in
[1:34:48] Canyon Lake um you know the the
sheriff's department um I'm a huge
[1:34:53] advate for the sheriff's department what
they do their model is very unique
[1:34:57] though in regards to covering different
areas and would you would you agree or
[1:35:02] disagree that if we had our own
Standalone Department that response
[1:35:07] times would be decreased because we're
not you know jumping over to Lake Elenor
[1:35:12] or to Paris or some of these other areas
that we currently are having our Deputy
[1:35:16] go to back up type one calls that's a
really complicated question and one I
[1:35:21] think it's good to I'm done asking
questions cuz they're
[1:35:24] no no no no I'm not no I'm just
qualifying because I'm going to give you
[1:35:28] a straight answer but there's going to
be contingency one is yes more presence
[1:35:33] should reduce your your response time so
if you had two professional police
[1:35:38] officers out there on you know all three
shifts that it's rather than one that
[1:35:44] should lower response time depending
upon whether you put them in a two
[1:35:47] person car or one person car um
depending upon what's happening at that
[1:35:51] period of time um during the day shift
where you do a lot of you know report
[1:35:57] calls having a CSO Community Service
Officer out there um should free the you
[1:36:03] know I was going to say deputies have a
preference over those years there could
[1:36:06] could free your officers up to be able
to be more flexible to respond so the
[1:36:10] first plus plus uh prey answer would be
yes it should improve that but not all
[1:36:17] the time not every time because there's
going to be surge periods um you know
[1:36:22] and putting more cops out initially
could give you what appears to be more
[1:36:25] crime because you may be sensing more
crime there may be leakage now right cuz
[1:36:31] remember reporting crime is only part of
it that's why when you want to do it
[1:36:34] well you look at victimization stats as
well and they're collected in a
[1:36:37] different pool than your uniform crime
reports and you should look at both and
[1:36:42] I found that when you do intelligence
assessments there's stuff that don't get
[1:36:44] any either U but in generally yes you
could get greater coverage should
[1:36:50] improve your response times good
response times are important part of the
[1:36:55] thing is you want to have the good
response times for the crimes that
[1:36:58] needed not every report call needs a cop
there in three minutes right so you set
[1:37:03] expectations some things you can take
reports on the internet on you know
[1:37:07] create apps and then for some property
crimes that may be even more acceptable
[1:37:11] to the public um I think you know and it
maybe it's generational a lot of police
[1:37:18] agencies now don't respond to non
non-injury traffic collisions and they
[1:37:23] leave people on their own I that's never
been the model with the police agency I
[1:37:28] came from LA County Sher respond to all
and if another agency won't take we'll
[1:37:32] go take I think that's got value but you
have to balance that with the realistic
[1:37:37] expectation of the community in your
need but yeah you should I think the key
[1:37:43] is you could conceptually get not only
better response time I think you get
[1:37:48] tighter supervision because I think you
could afford dedicated supervision
[1:37:52] dedicated supervision deputies Deputy
sheriffs and cops do a good job most of
[1:37:58] them don't choose this profession
because they want to be Slackers but you
[1:38:02] know good managers good commanders make
sure they always do good work you know
[1:38:07] so I think you get more
accountability um that doesn't take away
[1:38:12] a relationship from the sheriff if you
went there cuz you're not going to
[1:38:15] create your own homicide you you not
going to have your own robbery
[1:38:18] detectives uh you know not going to
create your own slat team that's I hope
[1:38:22] not you know you know own hostage Rescue
Team you know and there special like bom
[1:38:27] Squad you're not going to create those
um so there's going to be an ongoing
[1:38:32] whatever you do whatever model the
Riverside Sheriff's Office is going to
[1:38:36] be a partner in policing for this
community forever so how you manage that
[1:38:41] is important uh but I I think there's
flexibility there's options the benefit
[1:38:48] isn't so much on the provision because
the public doesn't I doesn't understand
[1:38:52] the difference between a deputy sheriff
and employees officers they don't know
[1:38:55] the difference between Authority they
don't know what the uniform looks like
[1:38:58] they don't know the difference between
sworn and non sworn they don't like some
[1:39:02] people love cops some don't what the
public will recognize is when you're
[1:39:07] responsive to their need and ultimately
mean policing isn't political but I
[1:39:15] warned in my life everything's political
and when it comes to that that's you
[1:39:19] guys so providing accountability
responsibility to yourself is probably
[1:39:23] your most important consideration next
is responsiveness to the community and
[1:39:28] the third
is you know a good professional Public
[1:39:32] Safety police presence which not only
for police it has to integrate with your
[1:39:37] the P you know Property Owners
Association contract security and I
[1:39:41] think that's something that would have
to be worked on whatever model is there
[1:39:44] and it has to work with their Partners
in the fire service Emergency Medical
[1:39:48] Services and I don't know what your
model on Emergency Management is but
[1:39:52] it's going to have to in that as well
because policing isn't just crime it's
[1:39:56] entire Community safety but in
partnership with all those other
[1:40:00] pieces so I wasn't blowing you off by
sending questions for hard just I don't
[1:40:05] do sound bites yeah appreciate it
[1:40:10] okay any other

regarding the council chambers
[1:40:41] renovation project allocation Capital
funds for the project and considering
[1:40:45] the award of change order for phase
two um presentation by director borad
[1:40:54] good evening mayor mayor PM city council
city manager Aaron Brown
[1:41:00] congratulations um I am bringing forward
an update regarding our progress with
[1:41:05] our renovation project talk a little bit
about some allocations that we're asking
[1:41:10] for as part of that project and then
talk a little bit about the
[1:41:15] consideration of awarding for phase two
as well um as you know since August of
[1:41:22] 26 I we started to our construction
project for our new council chambers
[1:41:28] anti chamber and break room progress has
been exceptional tremendous I don't know
[1:41:35] how better
explain the the workmanship the
[1:41:39] communication we have had with lob's
construction um um the work that we've
[1:41:44] done the progress of where we're at with
the council chamber room uh with some of
[1:41:49] the finishes that we're already at right
now uh the progress that at the
[1:41:53] antichamber room and and the break room
uh everything is moving well ahead of
[1:41:59] plann uh I know we had a sort of a
deadline to meet of December 6 I think
[1:42:04] we're going to meet that relatively
pretty easily uh I can't give a date or
[1:42:09] time because you know I don't want to
change the situation so uh right now
[1:42:14] everything's just moving extremely
extremely quickly forward um during um
[1:42:22] during as a project has been moving
forward one of the one of the things
[1:42:27] that we we've found was that uh um we
needed to provide exceptional backup or
[1:42:36] a generator to be able to
facilitate uh uh outages if and when
[1:42:43] they do occur or more importantly in a
disaster situation as government
[1:42:48] employees as a as a city hall we are
sort of obligated as disaster service
[1:42:54] workers to be able to maintain operation
and help and provide um our support to
[1:43:01] our First Responders when those type of
situations do happen KN on what they
[1:43:06] never do they haven't since I have been
here so hopefully that never does happen
[1:43:09] but it's important that we have a
generation that we maintain operational
[1:43:13] at all times I can tell you one instance
where power did go out here I I don't
[1:43:19] recall how long that it did go out for
but being non-operational for for a city
[1:43:25] is is not acceptable so uh it's really
really important in addition to to the
[1:43:30] need for for this generator to as well
um as you know we're looking into phase
[1:43:36] two of this project and moving
Administration staff over into our our
[1:43:41] new location um as well too the
generator will help facilitate not just
[1:43:47] City Hall but that that building as well
so it's important to maintain as much
[1:43:53] operational as we can for everyone
that's kind of here um and that kind of
[1:43:57] leads me into um into phase two um as
you know we had some of our challenges
[1:44:05] early on with um with our informal bids
for for our
[1:44:10] contractors um with with how exceptional
things have been going with Lowe's
[1:44:16] construction um to me it only makes
sense for us to look at uh an
[1:44:22] opportunity to to uh utilize uh L's
construction into phase two of this
[1:44:28] project um I think back in April when we
adopted or approved the updated uh
[1:44:33] procurement uh
procedures uh it did allow us to uh
[1:44:38] expedite some of those some of those
needs in cases like this so um that that
[1:44:45] does lead into you know us looking to
give that local desire to our our our
[1:44:51] construction uh loow construction and
requesting that city council authorize
[1:44:56] the city manag to negotiate and execute
all purchasing purchasing agreements and
[1:45:01] contracts in order to carry on to phase
two of this project
[1:45:06] to questions I don't have a question but
I have a
[1:45:11] comment um it's great to hear that it's
working out so well with one of our
[1:45:17] Canyon Lake residents and I know he
takes tremendous pride in creating
[1:45:23] our city hall in his home so I love
[1:45:30] that I would happily work with low
construction for every project we have
[1:45:35] we're very very fortunate that he is a
local um because I will when this is
[1:45:42] done I'll I'll brag to every city around
that if if they want somebody to take
[1:45:47] care of a job like this we we know who
to send it to that's awesome
[1:45:53] mayor if I could add to that um it it's
exciting to come to you and even say
[1:46:00] that we're talking about phase two
because the original plan really was
[1:46:04] about phase one and so when we
identified the need for the
[1:46:09] generator um setting and and talking to
uh Terry Shay our finance director those
[1:46:16] funds make sense coming from our CIP
that is capital Improvement it's there
[1:46:21] for Ian the the life of that thing um
Chief and I have both probably seen them
[1:46:26] go 40 years or more um but they say on
paper they last 20 years um so to have
[1:46:34] something like that one of the things
that's not mentioned in here that I'll
[1:46:37] be bringing either in
a uh midyear or uh in the next budget is
[1:46:44] adding something like starlink so that
in the event that we had a true outage
[1:46:49] here where the power is out the power is
lost on some of our suppliers we would
[1:46:54] have Everything But Water available at
uh and I mean running water um we' have
[1:47:01] everything but running water available
that we we would have control over we'd
[1:47:04] have control over that generator we'd
have control over the ability to connect
[1:47:08] to that uh internet connectivity so in
in terms of service we wouldn't care
[1:47:14] we'd be open for business and just keep
rocking so this is a very important
[1:47:18] thing in terms of what's called
survivability but just means the ability
[1:47:22] to keep your business running dayto day
it' be a huge asset to our residents as
[1:47:26] well in case there was a catastrophe
[1:47:31] absolutely if I may mayor um can
you give a little bit more detail where
[1:47:39] the initial funds came from um for this
renovation because I think that's an
[1:47:44] extraordinary story in itself and uh you
know how we have been good stewards of
[1:47:51] that money and how we are extending that
uh greater beyond what we initially
[1:47:57] thought absolutely so the city received
arpa funds like uh most other cities and
[1:48:04] uh responsibly put that towards
upgrading uh Public Safety uh upgrading
[1:48:11] infrastructure Public Safety what was
allocated from those arpa funds was
[1:48:14] about $1.2
million uh in getting the drawings and
[1:48:19] going through What's called the the uh
Engineers estimate this is how much we
[1:48:24] think it's going to be the initial
estimate was $1.2 Million for what is
[1:48:29] phase one uh the team and I sat down and
fortunate to have um Mike and uh our
[1:48:37] city clerk Cheryl Jessica and uh David
our uh building official we sat down and
[1:48:42] said what do we need what do we not need
um specifying things like you you see
[1:48:48] these TVs in front of you this is a
perfect example those TVs are the same
[1:48:52] TV that you would buy at home so when
you spec a commercial TV those TVs would
[1:48:57] be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10
to $12,000 a piece and that's because
[1:49:02] they are rated to be on for 3 years 24
hours a day I do not plan to be in a
[1:49:09] city council meeting for three years for
24 hours of those days so it doesn't
[1:49:15] make sense for us to go to that kind of
Taj Mahal model and so we really looked
[1:49:21] at what we could do
to get more for that money and I I'm so
[1:49:28] proud of the team that we were able to
figure out a way to take that 1.2
[1:49:32] million and instead of just doing phase
one and phase two was a almost like a
[1:49:37] dream someday we're gonna we've got a
way here that we're going to get phase
[1:49:42] one and phase two completely done
for I mean I'm not going to say it's
[1:49:47] free because as taxpayers we all paid
this money into the federal taxes but
[1:49:52] it's not coming out of what was the
general fund money from from the city it
[1:49:56] is the money that was provided to the
city to be able to do things like this
[1:50:00] and we are happily getting a lot of
value out of that money and as a result
[1:50:06] Phase One cost
approximately
[1:50:10] 700 below budget that wellem about uh
$585,000 budget and we went through
[1:50:18] phase two and we looked at everything of
okay if we move this wall and not that
[1:50:23] wall what does that save um we we walked
with the uh the fire chief been
[1:50:29] extremely helpful because he's also our
fire marshal he has about 17 jobs so uh
[1:50:34] he walked with us and kind of gave us
this is what you need to do this is this
[1:50:38] is a way to get what you need done um
been just instrumental in how we solve
[1:50:44] some of those problems and still
maintain our requirement for Life Safety
[1:50:48] so we've not taken any shortcuts or
anything along that line it's really
[1:50:52] really just been how do we how do we
save money and everybody knows it is
[1:50:57] value
engineering so that leaves us
[1:51:01] approximately
$570,000 to go towards Phase 2
[1:51:06] approximately 570 that's correct uh we
think based on what we're we're looking
[1:51:12] at because we would have if Council
Awards us the ability to do this we
[1:51:16] would award that change order then we've
got some minor things like data and uh
[1:51:21] we've got uh Johnson controls would need
to move over our um uh access control
[1:51:27] system uh minor things like that that
will fit in we're estimating somewhere
[1:51:31] around1 to $15,000 remaining and we
still got phase one and phase two
[1:51:36] completed and we're saving approximately
$40,000 by moving our staff correct a
[1:51:42] little over $43,000 a year will be saved
by moving this I cannot be more happy
[1:51:47] yeah I know that as a council that we
have you know when I first came on
[1:51:51] Council my good friend here uh really
pushed me to make this happen um was
[1:51:57] constantly asking me as well as uh
councilwoman Castillo what is the
[1:52:02] progress and uh I cannot commend you
enough
[1:52:07] for jumping on this as quick as you did
being as productive with this project as
[1:52:13] quick as you did and to to Mike I know
this is a dream of yours and it's
[1:52:17] finally coming true Cheryl I know you
were involved uh from the very very
[1:52:22] beginning beginning and um you know on
behalf of this Council but more
[1:52:26] importantly on behalf of the residents
of Canyon Lake thank you very much and
[1:52:30] we're looking forward to getting U
councilwoman DNE on that di before she
[1:52:35] leaves us so I know that's a big goal as
well that is absolutely the goal AB goal
[1:52:41] very good goal good job and and to make
sure we're clear about the the generator
[1:52:45] the generator process unfortunately um
is not a a quick process purchasing the
[1:52:52] generator
piece of cake uh we fall under uh the
[1:52:56] SoCal uh region of AQMD we have to go
through that process get the get the
[1:53:02] permit completed and um once they give
us the thumbs up that we can go forward
[1:53:06] with it it'll be there but the generator
will be there long before we have the
[1:53:10] permission to do it but there happens to
be natural gas right by that generator
[1:53:15] which as you know in this city is hard
to come by uh it just lined up perfectly
[1:53:20] a natural gas generator generates far
less pollutants than a diesel generator
[1:53:25] so it's actually an easier process cool
that's huge that's awesome good up great
[1:53:31] job Mike good job guys I I think it's
wonderful because when we early looked
[1:53:35] at this early on and we had you know
dreams about getting all this done and
[1:53:39] we we saw some of the initial price
estimates we're thinking well maybe 2034
[1:53:44] will we can save our nickels and we can
get this done and to see this coming in
[1:53:49] complete phase two included early 2025
is amazing to me and it's just it's
[1:53:55] wonderful to to see something that's
going to be so great for the community
[1:53:59] and something we're not going to sit in
this council chambers and for the next
[1:54:02] four years go it's coming it's coming
it's coming no it's going to be um we're
[1:54:07] going to tell you it's coming in in just
a couple months so thank you very much
[1:54:12] you and then Mike and Dave and chief
Cheryl thank you a year a year ago today
[1:54:19] you know we never would have thought
phase two was even in the picture so
[1:54:23] look where we're at right now you guys
remember how far away we were 6 months
[1:54:28] ago oh yeah like it wasn't even real it
was PR actually be honest with you
[1:54:33] actual plan I remember when I got here
Mike we were talking about it I'm like
[1:54:38] it's easy we got this and he said Aon
it's not easy it's easy we we just need
[1:54:43] to do the job and we're we're happy to
do it and when you have a partner in a
[1:54:48] vendor like low
construction for us it's easy I have
[1:54:52] swung a
hammer good job that's that itself is
[1:54:58] the mayor May a couple of us Swang this
swung the sledgehammer you did Madam
[1:55:03] clerk if there's no public comments I'll
