each of these provides many benefits for our

or simply spending time outdoors in beautiful

My name is nathan and I'm here representing

32
00:03:33,090 --> 00:03:35,010
the summer day camp program. I work at grand avenue park as a specialist,
And I'd like to thank the mayor and the city

33
00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:40,210
council for the honor of being one of the
Recipients for this proclamation.

34
00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:45,690
one of the many things that is so wonderful
With working for the summer day camp program

35
00:03:50,210 --> 00:03:50,210
is that it is immediate proof of how the
Parks make life better because each and every

36
00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:59,580
day for all of the children,
Just being able to hear their laughter at the parks, whether or not their kids who are
Going through the summer camp program,

37
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:03,140
or even just the children who are there with
Their families at the parks and every single

38
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:08,580
day running all of the children through the
Various games and activities that they get to

39
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:12,740
partake in, is just an excellent reminder of
How much the parks and this department brings

40
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:19,220
families together, brings the community
Together, and just truly makes a wonderful

41
00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:23,620
place for all the residents of the city to be
Able to live and enjoy their time in.

44
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:40,660

I've gotten the honor and the privilege to

45
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:46,820
not only work behind the scenes,
But alongside the youth in our community, from the teams that frequent the teen
Activity center to those who attend our teens

46
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:53,320
night out events and to our teen advisory
Board. I've gotten to witness firsthand the
Creativity,

47
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160
resilience, and their desire to be heard. Each interaction is a reminder of how capable
And thoughtful our youth truly are,

48
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:01,880
and that parks and recreation truly does make
Life better. I've seen how much it means for

49
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
teens to have a community that believes in
Them, and that these programs aren't just activities, they're lifelines.

50
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:11,520
they're where connection happens and where
Trust is built and where we find the voices

Employees. Throughout the closure and transition,
Staff maintained service community services

144
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:37,560

Including movies and concerts in the park and the city wide independence celebration,
Which had an estimated 4000 people in

145
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,120
attendance. We also launched our new mobile
Recreation vehicle, which is now in use at our summer sites.

146
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,160
community development issued certificates of
Occupancy for phases of a major residential project and final permits for costco
Engineering relocated and held pre-bid

147
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,080
meetings and continued to manage our major
Street improvement projects throughout the city. Human resources conducted interviews
For employee recruitment and finance.

148
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,280
stayed on track with all the city's accounts
Payable, ensuring all vendors and employees continue to be paid on time.

149
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:08,120
in other news, the 2024 water quality report
Is now available and provides information to

150
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,640
chino hills customers about the quality of
Their drinking water and the reliability of the water supply. Residents can view the
Report online at chino hills.org/ccr.

151
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,520
and that concludes my report and I would be
Happy to answer any questions. Anyone have any questions?

152
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,920
all right. Thank you nicole. Next public comments on agenda item agendized
Items.

153
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,220
at this time, members of the public may
Address the city council regarding any item appearing on the agenda,
Except that testimony on public hearing items

154
00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:43,420
which must be provided during those hearings. Those persons wishing to address the city
Council must complete and submit to the

155
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:47,180
deputy city clerk a request to speak card
Available at the entrance to the city council

156
00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:56,060
chambers. At this time,
We do not have any speaker cards for agendized items. All right.

157
00:16:57,740 --> 00:17:01,340
well, thank you very much. Moving right along. Conflict of interest. Levine. Act announcements.

158
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:05,940
any member have any abstentions due to that? All right. And just as information,
We are not going to have any report from

159
00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:13,060
closed session because we had none this
Evening. So moving along to city department business,
We have a consent calendar of four items.

160
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:19,700
anyone would like to pull any. Not for me. All right then I would eight for
Information,

161
00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:22,980
eight for information. All right. So how
About a motion on five,

162
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:30,020
six and seven made a motion. I'll second. All right. Lock in your votes. Motion passes four zero.

163
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:41,310
all right, item eight. Item eight is to authorize the execution of
An agreement with the city of chino for human

164
00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:49,030
services programs. All right. Your question. We're all very familiar with
It.

165
00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:55,510
but for the public that's watching our
Meeting, it might seem kind of unusual that we're entering into an agreement with the
City of chino for something that's kind of

166
00:17:58,790 --> 00:18:00,470
very broad as human services. So at this time, because they're here,
I'd like to have laura come up and give us

167
00:18:04,270 --> 00:18:04,270
just the elevator kind of description of what
That program is and how much it has benefited

168
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:11,830
chino hills throughout the decades,
Right now. Jonathan. Decades, probably. Yeah, actually,
Councilmember moran,

169
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:21,030
there are four staff that's here,
And I'd like to acknowledge each of them for being here. The city of chino certainly does
The the heavy lifting as it relates to this

170
00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:25,950
program. And just as we always talk about
Best bang for our buck as far as pd and stuff

171
00:18:32,370 --> 00:18:36,170
this truly is another one of those programs. Best bang for our buck. So in attendance here this evening we have
Monica zanotto,

172
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:42,210
clinical program manager. We have kari larson, human services
Supervisor.

173
00:18:45,730 --> 00:18:49,210
we have michelle meza,
Community services coordinator for the hope resource center. And of course,
Who you made reference to representing the

174
00:18:53,290 --> 00:18:53,290
school district is miss liz lara,
Family services program specialist.

175
00:18:58,650 --> 00:19:01,690
good evening. Oh, it's always good to to come
Back here. See everyone and our friends at city of chino
Hills.

176
00:19:05,410 --> 00:19:07,810
I just a clarification as well. So I'm part I oversee,
I manage the hope family resource center,

177
00:19:11,330 --> 00:19:15,290
which is just like a little tiny nugget of
What our partners at the city of chino do. And when they talk about heavy lifting,
It is a lot broader than just our social

178
00:19:19,770 --> 00:19:23,490
services part. Do you want to talk a little
Bit? And then I'll go into just really real quick. Good evening everyone. Carrie franco,
Supervisor,

179
00:19:26,170 --> 00:19:29,250
city of chino. Thank you for having us here
Today. Like liz was saying, the chino human services
Encompasses not only hope family resource

180
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:37,420
center, mckinney-vento,
But also our counseling program so that teen and youth counseling under that umbrella,
As well as £0.02 tobacco use prevention

181
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:41,460
education program. With your support,
We've been able to continue to foster a good

182
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:48,900
relationship with the school district,
With city of chino hills, so that we can provide these services all
Throughout chino valley unified.

183
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:52,540
so thank you, and we'll be happy to answer
Any questions you might have.

184
00:19:57,020 --> 00:20:00,580
and just a little update on the hope program
Itself. For anyone who doesn't who isn't familiar,
It's actually it was a really the brainchild

185
00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:05,460
of a lot of great community members,
Including our former superintendent,

186
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:09,500
mr. Wayne joseph and council member moran,
And a lot of great people who saw the need

187
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:18,700
that not everyone in chino,
Chino hills, south ontario, not all families were as stable as as we'd
Like,

188
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:25,660
and a lot of students were going to school
And really kind of struggling with either clothing or the school or school supplies or
Even lunch or families on the verge of being

189
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:30,640
evicted and really kind of affecting the
Stability. And that's where the program came

190
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,200
from, came from. And so it's over ten years
Old. And I would like to report,
I'd love to come and report.

191
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:39,640
every year it's become stronger and stronger
Thanks to the community support of the chino

192
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,960
valley. And I just there's no way around it. We've been given grants from at the state
Level for being a model collaborative

193
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:50,480
initiative, and that's pretty much because we
Have we have all these stakeholders who

194
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:54,920
genuinely are investing time,
Energy, money into making sure that our

195
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,840
students and our families that are
Disadvantaged and really going through something, feel the support of community. And
That has made all the difference in the

196
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200
world. We've served thousands over the
Thousands over the past ten years. We have a community care closet that is
Stocked.

197
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,080
we do not ever have to even go out and post,
You know,

198
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,680
like we're needing this. We have our faith based. We have our community groups.

199
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,160
I see jim here democratic club just came in
With with great donation.

200
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:26,240
we we have become a safety net for a lot of
Families and a lot of students in our in our

201
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:32,090
community. And it's thanks to the support of
People here in this room and a lot of people

202
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:39,370
who really, really do care about families and
About children. So thank you for that.

203
00:21:40,930 --> 00:21:43,050
thank you. And that is a great organization. Both cynthia and I were involved right from
Day one,

204
00:21:45,850 --> 00:21:48,650
ten years ago. We went to the 10th
Anniversary last year. And of course, wayne was honored for starting
It.

205
00:21:51,530 --> 00:21:55,490
but for people that don't know,
Hope is helping our people every day. And we do have one center that does a lot of
Distribution right here in our city with the

206
00:22:01,010 --> 00:22:04,690
los alimentos los serranos elementary campus. So people that are in need,
We wouldn't realize that in the affluent

207
00:22:08,290 --> 00:22:11,290
community that we live in,
That there are children out there. Some of them are basically homeless don't
Have in need of clothes and food and all

208
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:17,770
kinds of things. And hope does so much to,
To bridge that gap and help them out.

209
00:22:22,370 --> 00:22:25,610
and it's great that they've gotten to the
Point where they don't even need to go on drives to get the stuff.

210
00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:30,430
it's just being voluntarily funded and
Everything. So does that answer your question?

211
00:22:32,030 --> 00:22:35,110
I just wanted to yeah,
Thank you for that program. It's wonderful. And we're happy to partner.
All right. Well thank you. I appreciate your

212
00:22:38,550 --> 00:22:40,430
update. Yes. Yes. Quick question. So just for me, I just first of all,
Thank you for what you do.

213
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:48,670
is this social services contract or is this
Just hope? Yeah. So can you clarify that for me?

214
00:22:51,310 --> 00:22:51,310
so the funding goes to the city of chino,
And we have the collaboration with the school

215
00:22:55,550 --> 00:22:58,750
district for the hope piece and
Mckinney-vento piece. The counseling is what we additionally have a
Collaboration with the school district for

216
00:23:02,430 --> 00:23:06,310
the counseling portion. But ultimately the contract is with the city
Of chino. We are contracted by the school district and
Receive funds also in order to provide

217
00:23:10,670 --> 00:23:13,630
services. Want to say I think I've seen some
Of your work. My wife was a teacher at dj marshall, and I never realized that a lot of
Kids actually live in the car.

218
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:21,270
and if it wasn't for you guys helping them,
It'd be a lot worse than what it is. So thank you for everything you do.
Appreciate it. I don't think people realize

219
00:23:24,510 --> 00:23:24,510
as many families as what we have who are
Living in the car and the the one stat that

220
00:23:28,930 --> 00:23:28,930
really is hitting us. Even greater is the
Number of families that we are seeing

221
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:38,290
homeless. And so these are in hotels and
Motels, double deckers, unsheltered.

222
00:23:40,610 --> 00:23:40,610
the number of families with 0 to 5 has
Increased over 23% in the past two years.

223
00:23:45,410 --> 00:23:49,010
that is like an incredibly horrific number. And so we are seeing these families showing
Up at schools.

224
00:23:51,570 --> 00:23:54,450
they've got little ones and they are staying
In cars and motels, which is so unfortunate.

225
00:23:55,690 --> 00:23:59,250
and it goes back to the housing and just how
Expensive housing has become. But it is absolutely something. It's a it's a crisis
For sure.

226
00:24:01,770 --> 00:24:05,410
yeah. It's to the tune of about 1800 kids
That are involved. Or is it over 2000 identified?

227
00:24:07,450 --> 00:24:10,450
and we always say that we under identify for
Sure. These are kids and families that want to stay
Under the radar unless they feel they're safe

228
00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:17,130
to be able to come out and kind of say,
Yes, I need assistance. A lot of them, and especially now in our climate now with
Immigration, with everything else, they're

229
00:24:20,650 --> 00:24:23,500
not going to willingly say,
You know, I, I need support. You know, I they want to go under the radar.

230
00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:26,580
and that's about 6 or 7% of the entire
Population of the school district because

231
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,020
we're at about 26,000 now,
As I recall. Probably. But yes, we're closer to like 8 to
10.

232
00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:38,100
again, I believe it's we're probably closer
To 10%. But those identified,
Yes, it's over 2000.

233
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:43,860
yeah. All right. Well,
Thank you for all that you do. Peter, did you have any comment? And thank
You for what you did.

234
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,700
it did. Thank you very much. Well,
Thank you very much. I'll entertain a motion. I'll move. I'll move that,
Please.

235
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,180
second and a second by someone second. Okay, ray. Second. All right.

236
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:02,740
motion passes, four zero. And thank you again for everything that you
Do.

237
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:04,740
we appreciate that discussion calendar.

238
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:11,900
you want to read into the record what we're
Covering, cheryl? Sure. This is to adopt a resolution
By 4/5 vote of the city council pursuant to

239
00:25:17,980 --> 00:25:21,220
public contracts code,
Section 20168. Finding an emergency exists within the city
And authorizing the city manager to negotiate

240
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,320
and execute all necessary agreements and
Amendments to agreements related to the repair and restoration of city hall and
Other.

241
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:34,800
I'm sorry for remediation of the fire and
Water damage to and the reconstruction of the

242
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:38,840
building, elevator cubicles,
And purchase of replacement workstations.

243
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:46,400
all right. Any questions or. Ben, do you want to make an update report on
That?

244
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,160
yes. As to what where we're at and what our
Progress prognosis is.

245
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,120
happy to sir. Good evening,
Mayor. City council, members of the public.

246
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:00,600
just as the mayor pointed out,
To kind of set the stage on june 23rd,

247
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:05,480
we had an isolated equipment fire that
Happened at one of the workstations here at

248
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,800
city hall on the second floor. The fire caused the building's fire
Suppression sprinklers to activate.

249
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,090
and so city hall suffered. In addition to the fire,
The smoke.

250
00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:23,730
we also had water damage throughout a large
Portion of this building.

251
00:26:29,130 --> 00:26:31,810
again, the incident started on the second
Floor, but the water flow permeated not only the
Second floor but a large portion of the

252
00:26:38,290 --> 00:26:42,090
second floor city hall. The damage was so extensive that we ended up
Having to close city hall to the public for a

253
00:26:48,050 --> 00:26:48,050
number of days until june 30th,
And we reopened to the public.

254
00:26:52,730 --> 00:26:52,730
actually, in this room here,
Which is one of the rare areas of city hall

255
00:26:57,890 --> 00:26:59,570
that didn't suffer damage. And so our team has been extremely resilient
And flexible,

256
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:03,330
and they've been working out of new offices.

257
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:08,210
in the interim, we now have established some
Work areas for city staff in portable office

258
00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:19,350
trailers just adjacent to city hall. And this project is more than just the city.

259
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:22,950
we have a great insurer,
The california joint powers insurance agency,

260
00:27:28,430 --> 00:27:29,870
that we're working through. They also have consultants claim adjusters
That's working with us.

261
00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:34,550
and then our staff and contractors that are
Specialized in this type of recovery are also

262
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:41,910
involved. The goal is to kind of diagnose the
Damage.

263
00:27:46,670 --> 00:27:46,670
it seems like every day we discover something
Else got wet or damaged along the way.

264
00:27:52,390 --> 00:27:52,390
we are replacing ceiling tiles,
Carpet, furniture countertops.

265
00:27:58,910 --> 00:27:58,910
a variety of areas have been damaged,
And so they've been remediated.

266
00:28:03,550 --> 00:28:03,550
and we're starting to start looking at the
Reconstruction phase.

267
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:08,270
and so a project of this scope,
Ordinarily, if it wasn't in an emergency.

268
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:13,430
the city would contract out for all of that
Work through an open,

269
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040
competitive bidding process. However, the public contracts code does allow
For us to be able to,

270
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:26,960
in an emergency, as declared by the council,
To forego the public process in order to more

271
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,240
quickly move along with the process.

272
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:40,080
and so what we're bringing to the council
Tonight is an item that would allow us to

273
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,960
work with our partners,
Work with our contractors, have the city manager be able to execute
Contracts based on that emergency

274
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:58,640
authorization under the public contracts code
With the items listed tonight would,

275
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:06,320
in addition to allowing us to not have to do
Competitive bidding,

276
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,040
which would take quite a bit of time. Our goal is to restore,
City hall to functionality as quickly as

277
00:29:18,260 --> 00:29:18,260
possible, but allowing the city manager me to
Be able to execute contracts as part of this

278
00:29:24,820 --> 00:29:24,820
process. And that would also allow us to move
More quickly.

279
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:29,860
this also this action also establishes that
Because this is an emergency,

280
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:35,500
we don't have to go through the sequel
Process for a project like this.

281
00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:40,180
and even if we if the council takes this
Action tonight,

282
00:29:45,380 --> 00:29:45,380
we would also bring this back at subsequent
Council meetings to give you updates and to

283
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:52,660
continue getting authorization for this to be
A emergency.

284
00:29:58,740 --> 00:30:01,580
so that's kind of the synopsis of where we
Are. Okay. I might add too,
And please make sure that I'm not stepping

285
00:30:07,540 --> 00:30:07,540
out of line here. Even though we're not going
To have to go to competitive bid,

286
00:30:11,860 --> 00:30:11,860
the jpa will be oversighting or overlooking
Everything that we do.

287
00:30:16,510 --> 00:30:20,110
and the good news is,
The silver lining is that they are going to be covering the vast majority of this,
But it's not that we have absolute free hand

288
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:25,790
to do what we want. They still will be over
Overlooking or looking over our shoulder

289
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:31,750
because they're going to be covering it. So not being a competitive bid doesn't mean
That we are going to be disabled to throw

290
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:40,830
caution to the wind and hire anybody and
Everybody. So I think it's important that the,
The city know or the residents know that

291
00:30:45,630 --> 00:30:48,910
we're still going to be monitored by the
Insurance carrier. And that's a very important thing.

292
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:52,910
any other questions or comments? Yes. Comment. So I've been around quite a bit
Over the last two weeks,

293
00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:56,310
and I've been especially impressed besides
The attitude of the staff with relocation.

294
00:31:03,230 --> 00:31:03,230
obviously, we're back to our roots. We're
Back in trailers again, as we used to be.

295
00:31:08,110 --> 00:31:08,110
but servpro, the vendor that took over from a
Couple hours into this all the way through.

296
00:31:14,850 --> 00:31:14,850
been very impressed with their at least from
From my point of view,

297
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:19,210
I'm not hip deep in it,
But servpro is the company that's been doing

298
00:31:24,370 --> 00:31:26,890
everything here essentially,
And they. I've been impressed with how professional
They are and how how they move so quickly to

299
00:31:33,530 --> 00:31:33,530
get things done. So I give them five stars on
My yelp review.

300
00:31:38,410 --> 00:31:38,410
so thank you. Servpro has done a great job,
At least from my point of view.

301
00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:47,170
okay, sure. I just want to say the jpia
They're a great organization. They have a lot of contractors that they've
Used over the years and months,

302
00:31:51,650 --> 00:31:54,610
and I'm just really happy that they're part
Of this by helping us out. Number one. Number two,
Do we have a timeline or a budget by any

303
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:00,970
chance for this project? You know, I have to couch any numbers I would
Give you by it changes three times a day.

304
00:32:09,050 --> 00:32:09,050
not even daily. Our initial estimate was that
It would be about a million and a half for

305
00:32:15,540 --> 00:32:15,540
the remediation. So that's just making sure
The water damage has been stopped and cutting

306
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:24,900
out pieces of walls to do those inspections,
Pulling up carpet, removing tiles. So just basically freezing
The damage where it is.

307
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:32,660
and then the restoration,
Which includes things like our, our temporary offices and stuff that could
Bring the total to the 4 million total.

308
00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:37,980
so a million and a and a half another two and
A half on top of that.

309
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:44,500
that number was last week's number. I haven't received a new one to,
To both art and peter's point is that the

310
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:50,860
good thing is, is that that is a professional
Company like servpro telling us what they

311
00:32:55,860 --> 00:32:59,420
forecast it would take to get us back to the, the standard we were before the event.

312
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:06,500
but in addition to having servpro,
As you pointed out, ray, the cpia does this all the time so they
Know what the scope should look like.

313
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,520
they know what the restoration project should
Look like. I've been in contact with the president of cg
A pia just to make sure that they're,

314
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,720
you know, everyone's aware. And so while the number may bounce around,
I think the key message is,

315
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,720
is that this is a covered event. So our insurer will be paying for the
Majority of it,

316
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:34,680
just our deductible. It would be the city's
Expense and that they're committed to

317
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,280
restoring us to the level. The city hall was before the fire.

318
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,600
one last question. A follow up question.
First of all, our employees are so important to us.

319
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,320
the water. Water that leaks. What's the significance for water?

320
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,880
for standing water. Does it create a health
Problem that we know of if it's not addressed? I think many of us have heard
Stories of,

321
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:01,960
you know, water leaks in homes,
Which is not that different from a city hall

322
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,240
that we what we're really working for is not
Only the esthetic repair,

323
00:34:12,330 --> 00:34:12,330
but ensuring that we don't have long term
Problems like mold.

324
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:16,770
we don't want corrosion on our electrical
Equipment that got wet,

325
00:34:21,210 --> 00:34:24,330
and we don't want hazards associated with
Standing water. And so much of the work that's happened so
Far has been in that phase of remediation,

326
00:34:29,570 --> 00:34:33,130
making sure that any drywall that got wet is
Removed. So we don't have an opportunity for mold to
Grow.

327
00:34:36,490 --> 00:34:36,490
and to council member marquez's point is
That's a key investment in making sure that

328
00:34:42,530 --> 00:34:42,530
the health of our staff is preserved by not
Having any of those issues becoming part of,

329
00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:52,330
you know, the future of city hall. Yeah. Thank you. I think something that's
Important for the residents to know.

330
00:34:56,130 --> 00:34:59,170
well, if you're sitting here,
You think what happened? I mean, there's there's no big damage in
Here,

331
00:35:01,170 --> 00:35:04,770
right? Well, there's no second story above
This room. If you were to go look right behind that wall
You'll see wall boards missing.

332
00:35:09,310 --> 00:35:11,870
ceiling tiles are gone. There are just from from right.

333
00:35:14,270 --> 00:35:14,270
within a day or so after this happened,
Each one of us on the council had been in

334
00:35:18,990 --> 00:35:18,990
here examining what's going on,
Seeing the devastation.

335
00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:26,750
we've all taken multiple tours,
Even as recent as yesterday. And I think cynthia was walking around today.

336
00:35:30,110 --> 00:35:30,110
we've got four temporary trailers in what we
Call the old shops two site,

337
00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:38,710
which is adjacent to the fire district. On that thursday, right after two days after
This happened,

338
00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:41,950
there was over 30 servpro employees in here
Just tearing out you know,

339
00:35:47,470 --> 00:35:50,830
wet carpeting and wet ceiling tiles. There were literally,
I mean, how many tons of debris was taken out

340
00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:55,310
because they had to literally open everything
Up to find out where the damage was,

341
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:03,550
but they had not only did we have 30 servpro
In here, we had people from for recreation.

342
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:05,920
some of these employees that were
Representing and taking the the resolution

343
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:10,760
tonight were actually in here lifeguards,
Rec staff in here helping individuals box up

344
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,080
their individual work stations. It's just amazing the cooperative effort that
Everybody has pitched in on.

345
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,800
so yeah, the silver lining is that when it's
All done, it'll be almost like a facelift that the city
Hall is getting after 17 years of being in

346
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:33,960
this building. But I cannot say enough for
All of the staff and all of the people that

347
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:39,520
have been working on our behalf through jpa
And trying to get us back to normal.

348
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,040
but I think the one thing that we didn't get
Your question answered, reyes, is looking like what almost at least
Two months.

349
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:52,120
been is what the anticipated is unless
Something crazy shows up.

350
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,160
yeah. The initial estimate was that we could
Be back operational,

351
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:01,320
not, you know, completely 100% restored,
But we could be operational to the normal

352
00:37:08,820 --> 00:37:11,020
capacity within two months. However, we continue to find new areas that
May require additional reconstruction.

353
00:37:17,980 --> 00:37:17,980
and so we don't know. I would say the window
Is between 2 and 6 months.

354
00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:22,580
so when I talk to the representative cjpia,
They say that a project could take six

355
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:31,340
months. Our team thinks two months. And I think that we will be pushing
Aggressively to be closer to two months,

356
00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:38,900
rather than the far out window of six months. Yeah. And what people don't realize is during
The day,

357
00:37:41,740 --> 00:37:45,300
this is about the only section of city hall
That's open. The community room in the back has people
Workstations in there with computer setups.

358
00:37:50,780 --> 00:37:50,780
some of the aisles that you're sitting in
Right now have staff working in it.

359
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:57,340
you saw the wall when you came in to city
Hall, that temporary wall that keeps people in this
Area.

360
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:01,140
the restrooms aren't working and functional,
So people are having to go to the library

361
00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:10,230
across. So there's a lot of flexibility
Required by our staff. So, you know, thank god it was not worse than
It was.

362
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:18,190
and I do want to mention one thing that the
Investigation, initial investigation.

363
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:23,030
so there was no negligence on anyone's part
That caused this fire. It was some sort of an electrical short that
Overheated a computer station.

364
00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:27,310
and two stations basically were the ones that
Were the fire was pretty much contained to

365
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:32,510
those. It was in the general area of where we
Issued passports on the second floor.

366
00:38:37,630 --> 00:38:37,630
but like you say, when the both of those
Sprinkler systems went on,

367
00:38:42,990 --> 00:38:42,990
they were on for over a half an hour and
Literally thousands of gallons of water got

368
00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:51,190
into that area. And of course,
Behind these walls, we don't have wood studs,
We have metal studs.

369
00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:57,630
and there's a channel in all those metal
Studs. And you know what water does? It'll go find its its own path.

370
00:39:02,290 --> 00:39:05,530
so it's just caused a tremendous amount of
Damage. So I will call for the question here for an
Adoption of this resolution.

371
00:39:10,570 --> 00:39:13,290
I'll make the motion to approve. All right. And we have a second. Would you like to make the second. All right.

372
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:18,850
so we have four people here and it takes a
4/5. So lock in your vote. Motion passes four
Zero.

373
00:39:26,570 --> 00:39:28,970
okay. Very good. All right. Moving right along to public hearing.

374
00:39:32,050 --> 00:39:35,170
would you like to announce the public
Hearing, cheryl? Sure. The this is to adopt a resolution adopting a
Written report regarding residential sewer

375
00:39:39,730 --> 00:39:39,730
charges for all residential parcels to which
The city provides sewer only service for

376
00:39:45,250 --> 00:39:45,250
fiscal year 2526. Finance director is to
Present.

377
00:39:50,410 --> 00:39:52,290
all right, krista, what's up? Good evening, mayor, council members and
Members of the public. Each year,

378
00:39:55,850 --> 00:39:55,850
the city council must approve placing the
Sewer charges for sewer only accounts on the

379
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:02,060
county tax roll at a public hearing. Currently, the city builds approximately
20,600 customers for sewer service on a

380
00:40:06,980 --> 00:40:06,980
monthly basis. Among these customers,
222 are residential sewer only accounts.

381
00:40:12,380 --> 00:40:12,380
these customers are billed solely for sewer
Service as their water is provided by another

382
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:20,420
agency, and trash service is billed by waste
Management. For fiscal year 2526,
The total annual sewer charges will amount to

383
00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:25,060
$495.12 per parcel. This is comprised of two
Components $324.24 for the sewer treatment

384
00:40:34,980 --> 00:40:34,980
charge, and $170.88 for the chino hills sewer
Fee.

385
00:40:39,940 --> 00:40:42,500
after the public hearing,
If there is no majority protest, I recommend that the city council adopt the
Resolution to approve the sewer charges

386
00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:50,500
report and direct staff to have the charges
Collected via the tax roll. I can take any questions you might have. And
The question that everyone asks, is there a

387
00:40:53,940 --> 00:40:53,940
218 vote required under this particular
Action item.

388
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,760
the 218 happened when we adopted the rates. These are just passing through rates that
Have already been adopted, and we know that.

389
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,160
I just want to be sure that the public knows
It. Okay. All right. Any other questions?

390
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,560
no. Just let everybody know. A reminder that we're collecting on behalf of
Iowa,

391
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,560
our sewer agency. Oh yeah. We're doing it on their behalf. All right. We wish they would collect on
Their own, but that's a different story.

392
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:23,160
yeah. All right, well,
I'm officially going to open the public hearing. Do we have any request to speak?

393
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,680
we do not. All right. I will officially close
The public hearing. Bring it back up here for a rest.

394
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,280
a motion to adopt the resolution. I'll move the item. All right,
I'll second.

395
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:40,040
all right, move in a second. All right. Motion and second.

396
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,080
motion passes four zero. Okay, now we're going to move into the public
Comments on non agendized items.

397
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,880
do we have anyone wishing to speak tonight. We have one speaker card.

398
00:41:57,570 --> 00:42:00,690
all right. The speaker is jim gallagher. All right. And I think the record shows what
The guidelines are for this.

399
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:09,010
and because there's one he'll have three
Minutes to speak. Correct. That is correct. All right. Welcome, jim.

400
00:42:10,330 --> 00:42:10,330
thank you. I've come here tonight for an item
That does deeply disturb me.

401
00:42:16,610 --> 00:42:20,330
as you know, we had the big,
Beautiful tax bill that was passed this past weekend. And of course,
One of the items on that I noted was 10,000

402
00:42:25,650 --> 00:42:25,650
more homeland security officers were going to
Be hired to a tune of $75 billion.

403
00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:33,890
what I'm concerned about is based on what
We're seeing in los angeles and other

404
00:42:38,090 --> 00:42:38,090
communities the way that some of these
Activities are being carried out when

405
00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:44,210
citizens are being or non citizens are being
Arrested and deported.

406
00:42:49,490 --> 00:42:51,970
it seems to me there's two types of agents. Can I can we pause this time for a second?

407
00:42:57,150 --> 00:43:00,070
mark. Is this out of the area of city
Business? Because in fact, that is very much.

408
00:43:02,270 --> 00:43:05,270
but I need to hear a little more about what
He's. Yeah. Okay. I just want to give you the
Caution or.

409
00:43:07,790 --> 00:43:11,390
I know we want you speaking to something
Broad that I don't think you have influence on. Okay. All right. Just so we understand.

410
00:43:13,950 --> 00:43:17,790
go ahead and proceed. So to me,
There's two types of agents that I've been seeing, and I'm sure all of you have as well
On the news.

411
00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:21,030
there's the ones that are fully uniformed
That do come in an immigration trucks and

412
00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:29,470
vehicles. Then there's the others that
Aren't. They come in unmarked cars.

413
00:43:31,590 --> 00:43:31,590
they come in casual city clothes.

414
00:43:35,630 --> 00:43:38,030
all of them are masked. What I'm concerned about is they have
Anecdotal evidence.

415
00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:41,630
now, some of them may,
In fact, may not be federal agents that are

416
00:43:46,670 --> 00:43:49,790
duly conscripted by our federal government. I would press upon our local police.

417
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:55,290
this is where it gets local. I do think we have a right in the community
For our local police to perhaps be informed

418
00:44:01,050 --> 00:44:03,410
if they are, in fact,
Going to come into this city. I don't know if they have yet or not,
That they should be informed that when

419
00:44:07,490 --> 00:44:07,490
they're coming. And I'd like to see our local
Police at least be allowed to get a list of

420
00:44:13,370 --> 00:44:13,370
who is taken so that they can inform their
Loved ones or their family,

421
00:44:18,050 --> 00:44:21,410
and we follow some kind of due process. I am very concerned about it.

422
00:44:23,010 --> 00:44:23,010
I do think that this has an opportunity to
Divide our community in many ways.

423
00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:32,450
people will take note when ice comes in. I think people may in fact,
Start to push back like you've seen in los

424
00:44:36,410 --> 00:44:36,410
angeles. I think the support of our police,
Who cannot assist,

425
00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:40,530
but at least can intervene to the point where
They can get a list of who's been taken,

426
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:50,650
I think might help. So I appreciate it. I am interested in to what?

427
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:56,900
can you do about it? All right. Thank you jim. That is the only speaker that
We have in this.

428
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:05,180
all right. Then moving on to safety updates. Chief williams for fire.

429
00:45:08,020 --> 00:45:09,580
thank you. Mayor. Really? I just wanted to provide some stats that
Might be of interest to the council and the

430
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:15,940
community related to the 4th of july. It was the second busiest in the past five
Years,

431
00:45:18,780 --> 00:45:20,380
with a total of 49 calls. That is between both cities. But I'll hone in
A little bit on some stuff for the city of

432
00:45:24,420 --> 00:45:27,900
chino hills, but we typically run about 33
Ems calls, emergency medical calls per day.

433
00:45:31,540 --> 00:45:33,020
we ran 26 on that day. Here's where it gets interesting on we had on
The non structure fire related calls.

434
00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:40,420
we normally run 1.2 average. We ran 17 on that day.

435
00:45:42,660 --> 00:45:42,660
and then on the structure fires we would
Qualify usually as about a 0.3 average.

436
00:45:48,460 --> 00:45:50,400
and we ran two structure fires that day. So those all were related to the fireworks
And that we confiscated 360 pounds of

437
00:45:59,440 --> 00:45:59,440
fireworks. And three citations were written
In the city of chino hills.

438
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,960
so those are just some interesting stats. Although I believe that the residents did a
Really good job.

439
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,400
I would just continue to encourage,
You know, caution. And again, in our city here in chino
Hills,

440
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,600
you know, it's a no fireworks at all. So we just ask you to be mindful of,
Of those restrictions.

441
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,640
that's all I have. All right. And so the majority of the calls were
Actually in the area serviced by the district

442
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,960
in chino. Is that so? So with the stats I
Have, I don't have the ability to break it down at
This point into two different cities.

443
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:34,800
I just wanted to give an overall general call
Volume because at the end of the day,

444
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:39,680
our, our responses service both cities,
But specifically to chino hills.

445
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,520
I thought it was interesting that we had
Three citations. And I want to say significantly more in our
Other partner city,

446
00:46:51,210 --> 00:46:54,370
but they do permit same fights,
The same fireworks. But that could contribute to the fact that
There's probably more increase in that in

447
00:46:58,970 --> 00:46:58,970
city of chino. Okay. Just trying to ask a
Question that the public may want to know.

448
00:47:03,090 --> 00:47:05,450
and if you can't split it,
That's the way it is. All right. Lieutenant juarez,
Let me ask.

449
00:47:08,810 --> 00:47:10,410
excuse me. I'm sorry. Go ahead. What's the fee these days for a citation when
It comes to fireworks?

450
00:47:18,330 --> 00:47:21,570
it's $1,000, isn't it? I believe it is a thousand. My apologies. I'd have to get back to you,
But I believe it is $1,000.

451
00:47:24,650 --> 00:47:27,690
I wanted verification. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Okay. Question? Sure. Question I have is.

452
00:47:30,050 --> 00:47:33,410
I know the city of brea. They have drones. So they were up. They cited a lot of people. Is that something
That we would do in the future? Possibly. We

453
00:47:37,490 --> 00:47:37,490
did use drones in collaboration with the law
Enforcement agencies that we partner with,

454
00:47:42,610 --> 00:47:46,170
the fire district. The fire district also
Does have its own drones. But for this particular mission,
We partnered with the police departments to

455
00:47:50,230 --> 00:47:54,070
utilize their drones for those purposes
Because ultimately they're writing the citations. We can write an administrative
Citation,

456
00:47:56,910 --> 00:47:59,990
but they're writing the additional citations. Okay. Thank you so much. Appreciate that.
Thank you. Cynthia.

457
00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:03,030
any questions? And let the record reflect
That.

458
00:48:07,510 --> 00:48:07,510
councilmember or excuse me,
Vice mayor jones has been here for a few

459
00:48:11,790 --> 00:48:11,790
minutes now. Okay. All right then.

460
00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:18,670
police update. Lieutenant. Good evening, honorable mayor and city
Council members and staff and members of the

461
00:48:22,270 --> 00:48:22,270
public. Just to follow up on the fireworks
Enforcement on july 3rd,

462
00:48:26,430 --> 00:48:26,430
2025 and july 4th, 2025,
The chino hills multiple enforcement team

463
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:34,670
teamed up with the chino valley fire
Inspectors to work fireworks enforcement. They responded to 36 firework calls for
Service inspectors issued three citations,

464
00:48:38,630 --> 00:48:41,870
and a total of 10 pounds of illegal fireworks
Were confiscated. We had we didn't have any arrests.

465
00:48:43,590 --> 00:48:46,720
and again, we repeat that chino hills. All fireworks, including safe and sane,
Are illegal in chino hills.

466
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,120
all right. Thank you very much real quick for
The questions. Yes, lieutenant juarez, for those of us that don't
Know,

467
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:57,320
can you let the public know the significance
Of the black man on your badges?

468
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,520
what recently has happened? Oh, yes. When an officer dies in the line of
Duty is we're authorized to wear wear the

469
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:09,320
mourning ban on all police officers in
California where the mourning ban.

470
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,480
unfortunately, we have lost three. And I think the last one was a sergeant
Helping a I believe it was lapd helping a

471
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,840
stranded motorist and got hit by a vehicle. So that's we we're allowed the sheriff
Authorizes the ban to be worn up to the day

472
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,200
of the funeral, and then we take it off. Thank you for sharing that. So people know.
Thank you. All right.

473
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,320
any other questions, ray? Just one quick question,
Lieutenant.

474
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,440
I know in other parts of the city we always
Have bad people, right? We know that. Is there anybody out there? Because I've been
Reading and listening and seeing that there's

475
00:49:48,580 --> 00:49:51,820
criminals out there that are pretending
They're ice agents. So if they were to be in the city,
There's nothing to identify who they are.

476
00:49:56,500 --> 00:49:56,500
we could call 911 to to investigate.

477
00:50:01,220 --> 00:50:04,660
correct? Yes. If there's anything suspicious, a suspicious person or someone that believes,
Please do call us.

478
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:10,740
we will do. Make sure they are who they say
They are. And but again, the sheriff's department and
We had some talking points came out with the

479
00:50:15,620 --> 00:50:18,900
sheriff. They do not intervene with federal
Enforcement at all. So but we will make sure that they are who
They say they are.

480
00:50:22,220 --> 00:50:25,300
and if they're not, then we can always take
It to another level. Thank you. All right. If no other questions.

481
00:50:28,860 --> 00:50:32,380
city manager update. Ben. The only comment I'll make is I've had an
Opportunity to see some of the residents who

482
00:50:37,620 --> 00:50:37,620
came to city hall to receive services through
Our community services center and I thank

483
00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:44,470
them for their patience and they they have
All been very supportive of our staff.

484
00:50:49,550 --> 00:50:49,550
I was talking to a family today that came in
For passports,

485
00:50:53,870 --> 00:50:53,870
actually, and they were very happy to have
Local services.

486
00:50:58,310 --> 00:51:01,070
so thank you for all the support we've
Received, not only the buy in from our staff,
But our community has been very supportive as

487
00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:05,910
well. And passport services are actually
Handled right here in this in these chambers.

488
00:51:10,350 --> 00:51:11,470
isn't that. Yes, sir. Yes. And there are signs in the lobby that show
Where the people need to go for various

489
00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:20,390
services, including utility billing and
Things like that. Right. Right. And we have greeters that help
People navigate within the,

490
00:51:25,790 --> 00:51:29,270
the confines of this room. So. Okay. Any other questions? The city manager. All right.

491
00:51:31,470 --> 00:51:31,470
council reports. I have no report tonight.

492
00:51:35,990 --> 00:51:38,750
vice mayor jones. All right. We. There we go. We ended up not having our
Legislative advocacy committee meeting.

493
00:51:44,010 --> 00:51:45,890
so I'll move on to omnitrans. It was a pretty mundane meeting.

494
00:51:48,690 --> 00:51:48,690
we mostly employee recognition,
Nothing of real substance.

495
00:51:55,210 --> 00:51:55,210
it was ellen wapner's first go again at being
Chair of chair of omnitrans.

496
00:52:01,290 --> 00:52:03,530
so you ran a smooth ship. Good. All right. Peter,
Did you have a question with respect to

497
00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:09,490
legislative advocacy committee? Yeah. I, I want to suggest a discussion as to
Putting an alternate in place,

498
00:52:15,410 --> 00:52:15,410
because brian and I are the the means and we
Don't have someone to back us up if one of us

499
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:19,970
can't attend. So I'd like to see if we can
Schedule that for a discussion at some point.

500
00:52:24,770 --> 00:52:27,850
all right. Maybe we can agendize that for
Next month. As I'll remind everybody right now,
We have no future meeting in the month of

501
00:52:32,530 --> 00:52:36,290
july. So our next meeting will be after the
National night out. That's why we made such a big deal about it
Tonight.

502
00:52:38,850 --> 00:52:41,420
so everybody would know before we have our
Next meeting, but. Okay. And I think you understand,
Brian,

503
00:52:43,860 --> 00:52:43,860
what we're trying to do there,
Because I know your work is conflicting with

504
00:52:48,420 --> 00:52:49,900
city business a little bit now. Well, yeah. And I still I still think we're
Trying to figure out why we need to

505
00:52:54,380 --> 00:52:56,660
necessarily have it. Well,
Never mind. That'll be a discussion for a discussion
Item.

506
00:52:59,140 --> 00:53:02,820
okay. All right. Moving on. Councilmember marquez. Sure. I got a short report.

507
00:53:04,340 --> 00:53:04,340
we approved two contracts,
One for metrolink and then one one also for

508
00:53:08,460 --> 00:53:10,340
aero service. That's my report. We passed it. Thank you very much,
Councilmember rogers.

509
00:53:13,140 --> 00:53:15,420
yes. I'm sorry. I was just curious. Have they got a replacement for ray wolff?

510
00:53:17,540 --> 00:53:19,460
I'm sorry. Has there been a replacement? Schiller is a new kerry schindler.

511
00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:25,420
okay. So ray basically will be leaving this
Week. Okay. Thank you. Yeah.

512
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:28,780
he was honored that the city county
Conference. Right? Yeah, yeah. A couple of things.

513
00:53:31,740 --> 00:53:31,740
one the new animal resource center and animal
Resource.

514
00:53:37,580 --> 00:53:40,520
we are now on that committee and board. I attended the first meeting this in the past
Week.

515
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:43,840
as with our participation,
We bought in to the system.

516
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,480
so our only item that we talked about,
And again, I'm new to this. Others have been meeting for
A couple of months.

517
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:55,400
was we approved the temporary there's a
Temporary operation for the next couple of

518
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,720
years until the new facility is built. And they approved a, an a warehouse,
The use of additional warehouse on top of the

519
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:09,000
one that they've already contracted with,
Because they're realizing they need more room

520
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,240
to take care of business. So they approved some funding for that. And I just want to remind everybody that
Although chino hills is represented on that

521
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:21,960
board, we still are being serviced by inland
Valley humane society for the next two years.

522
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:27,840
so we can't forget that aspect that we're on
The board,

523
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:32,320
but we're really there to assist board
Members in decision making,

524
00:54:37,130 --> 00:54:40,330
but inland valley is our primary for the next
Two years. Okay. All right. And then cdh you know,
Does alter authority again,

525
00:54:44,970 --> 00:54:47,410
a light agenda also for us. And we just approved a facility.

526
00:54:49,810 --> 00:54:51,210
improvements and contracts. Nothing significant for authority.

527
00:54:54,090 --> 00:54:58,090
so that's it. All right. Council comments. Cynthia,
Please. I just have a quick question for nick.

528
00:55:01,170 --> 00:55:03,730
hi, nick. Nick. All right. So over. And he's not he's not front loaded,
So he's always good on his thinking on his

529
00:55:08,730 --> 00:55:12,490
feet. Okay. Cynthia, can you pull your mic? I had a resident reach out wondering if next,

530
00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:19,570
the empty lot next to the pub shopping center
Where the villa borba, like second or third phase is supposed to
Happen someday.

531
00:55:22,890 --> 00:55:26,130
I think they're getting confused with maybe
Weed abatement. Is there construction going on there? Are they getting ready to start
Something there? So the the project will

532
00:55:34,910 --> 00:55:38,710
begin some grading for the detention basin. Number three. They're in the final stages.

533
00:55:41,950 --> 00:55:41,950
lennar is in the final stages of obtaining
Their permits from the army corps and from

534
00:55:49,110 --> 00:55:52,030
the california department of fish and
Wildlife. So we will begin to see some dirt moving on
That the east side of butterfield and.

535
00:56:01,670 --> 00:56:01,670
okay. And then hopefully construction permits
Will be obtained by next spring or summer

536
00:56:10,390 --> 00:56:12,910
next spring. Okay. And I know this project is
Approved, but can you remind the public what's going
There?

537
00:56:15,550 --> 00:56:15,550
so there will be 220 two story townhomes
That'll be developed as well as the 19

538
00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:25,190
lot subdivision on azor street.

539
00:56:29,430 --> 00:56:32,910
oh, the other side that's been empty forever.
Perfect. Okay. Thank you for that update. And that's all I have. Art.

540
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,440
okay. Very good. Peter. Really nothing significant. I just wanted to
Thank city staff and the community for coming

541
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:41,400
out for our 2nd of july event that took
Place.

542
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,000
did you say there were about estimated 4000
People? It seemed like it. This is one of the more
Crowded events that I've seen for the city of

543
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:56,800
chino hills. It was very impressive to see. So gone are the days when we used to do this
At big league dreams.

544
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:04,480
the morning of usually the fourth with the
Children's wagon parade. And then by the time noon rolled around,
Everybody was leaving because it was too hot

545
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:07,760
and they didn't want to take advantage of the
Facility that had been put up with water,

546
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,680
water, features, etc.. This is a much improved presentation for the
Last 7 or 8 years or however long we've been

547
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:21,680
doing this. So thank staff,
Rec staff especially.

548
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:25,880
we have a very professional staff and they
Stepped especially in the time when we've

549
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,140
been transitioning with city hall as to
What's going on. They really they really stepped up.

550
00:57:34,780 --> 00:57:38,300
so thank staff. Please. Jonathan. That's all I have. Okay, great. Thank you,
Mr.

551
00:57:40,140 --> 00:57:40,140
mayor. Appreciate that. Sbcta had its first
Ad hoc committee for measure I.

552
00:57:45,740 --> 00:57:45,740
that measure basically goes to 2040,
But we want to continuously continue it past

553
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:50,500
2040. So we will have a presentation to our
City and all the surrounding city partner

554
00:57:54,980 --> 00:57:54,980
cities to maybe extend that past 2040
Streets.

555
00:58:00,940 --> 00:58:04,580
eucalyptus chino hills parkway. I know we're doing some repaving. I've noticed that it's done on one side of
The street or maybe two lanes,

556
00:58:08,020 --> 00:58:09,540
maybe one lane, not the other. Can you give me a status of where we are with
The with the road?

557
00:58:14,180 --> 00:58:17,660
certainly. As you may have noticed,
There is quite a bit of construction going on on our streets regarding eucalyptus avenue.

558
00:58:20,900 --> 00:58:20,900
we will be paving or repaving the entire road
From paint to parkway.

559
00:58:25,860 --> 00:58:28,980
you may have seen some,
Some activities that took place. That work is not complete.

560
00:58:30,340 --> 00:58:33,110
that will be done in the next few weeks. In addition to that, we have as part of the
Eucalyptus project,

561
00:58:36,790 --> 00:58:36,790
there will be some areas of chino hills
Parkway that do get repaved,

562
00:58:40,830 --> 00:58:40,830
but we have a larger project coming in the
Next several months where we will be repaving

563
00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:48,750
all of chino parkway within the city
Boundaries. In addition to that, you may have seen
Construction on butterfield ranch road,

564
00:58:52,470 --> 00:58:52,470
soquel canyon parkway as well,
And pretty soon we will be improving english

565
00:58:57,190 --> 00:58:57,190
english road as part of that recycled water
Project as well.

566
00:59:01,910 --> 00:59:04,670
and then water project tcp 123. I guess the state gave us a curveball or now
There's changes or something.

567
00:59:08,790 --> 00:59:12,470
something. Another thing that we have to do
In order for that to go online. That's correct. While the tcp plant is
Substantially complete,

568
00:59:17,310 --> 00:59:17,310
we cannot operate it quite just yet as we
Need to make some additional improvements

569
00:59:22,070 --> 00:59:22,070
offsite at some of our wells before we can
Introduce our wall water into the facility.

570
00:59:27,390 --> 00:59:31,250
we're hoping to have those improvements
Completed by by the end of this calendar year. And just the last thing real fast truck
Traffic coming through carbon canyon

571
00:59:35,890 --> 00:59:37,890
serenity. I understand that's all done. Is that do you know that for a fact?

572
00:59:40,650 --> 00:59:42,250
I cannot confirm that. I can maybe ask nick if he's aware of truck
Traffic.

573
00:59:47,090 --> 00:59:49,410
the grading is substantially complete. There may be a little bit more cleanup left.

574
00:59:52,530 --> 00:59:52,530
additionally, there will be some work tying
Into the city's sewer system.

575
00:59:58,090 --> 00:59:58,090
and so there will still be some construction
Traffic associated with the with the sewer

576
01:00:03,570 --> 01:00:06,450
line construction. Thank you sir. And last question for daniel.

577
01:00:08,330 --> 01:00:11,850
you were on vacation. I could tell because
You look a lot younger. So good job, buddy. Thank you. All right.

578
01:00:15,210 --> 01:00:15,210
brian. All right. Just to follow up on ray's
Question regarding the street projects,

579
01:00:21,050 --> 01:00:21,050
when do we expect butterfield and sokol to be
Striped?

580
01:00:25,330 --> 01:00:28,700
butterfield is scheduled to be striped the
End of this week. Okay, so will follow up,
If not next week, the week after it all

581
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:32,900
should be buttoned up by the end of july,
Definitely before school resumes in august.

582
01:00:37,940 --> 01:00:39,900
I can't believe. Great job. Yeah. No, definitely. And then just just a
Quick thought.

583
01:00:43,180 --> 01:00:46,420
I know some of us knew horace boatwright with
The sheriff's department. I know he passed away. I think it was last
Week.

584
01:00:49,020 --> 01:00:49,020
he was a good guy. So just keep his family in
Your thoughts.

585
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:55,900
that's it. Mr.. Mayor. All right. Couple things. I wanted to mention.

586
01:00:58,420 --> 01:00:58,420
we have a local builder who did some in
Building on seven lots on morning field.

587
01:01:07,420 --> 01:01:11,100
I attended the open house back on june 28th. This gentleman and the quality of houses that
They built is just a kind of a breath of

588
01:01:18,060 --> 01:01:21,820
fresh air for the problems that we see within
The city. We have a lot of small lots that big
Developers just can't afford.

589
01:01:25,780 --> 01:01:28,000
they can't pencil it out to make it work. But here's a developer that I understand.

590
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,480
they're going to be actually building some on
Whirlaway. Nick may know the builder.

591
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:40,480
apparently those areas where we had
Landslides a couple of years ago, they're going to actually go in and be able
To shore up the,

592
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:43,480
the soil and build a couple homes in there in
Addition to the seven they've done.

593
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:47,920
but my point in bringing it up now is now we
Have a small developer who has demonstrated

594
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:54,160
that he can do small infill developments,
And we start looking around the city for

595
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,320
parcels of land that are small,
That the city owns, or former parks that aren't being used or
Anything.

596
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,800
that is a small development that a big
Developer couldn't build on. All of which, we're trying to meet our arena
Numbers.

597
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,200
this would be a very good candidate. So and I can get you all the information. I
Think nick's probably already got it,

598
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:18,600
but really nice homes and expensive 26 to
2900 square foot homes,

599
01:02:25,290 --> 01:02:26,890
you know, million for 2,000,006. So it's not for the faint of heart to go in
There,

600
01:02:29,690 --> 01:02:29,690
but beautiful homes, including solar and all
Of the current requirements.

601
01:02:36,050 --> 01:02:36,050
I want to bring a thank publicly the staff
For making the july 4th celebration,

602
01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:46,890
which was held on july 2nd at the concerts in
The park. I don't think any of us have ever seen that
Park so full.

603
01:02:50,610 --> 01:02:54,530
I'd love to know if we had any estimates of
How many were there, but my guess would be 3 to 4000 people.

604
01:02:58,170 --> 01:03:01,850
did we get a count? Nicole,
Did you have a count? My. The estimated that I was provided was
Nearly 4000 or around 4000.

605
01:03:06,450 --> 01:03:06,450
yeah, it was packed. I do not remember it
Ever being that full.

606
01:03:10,730 --> 01:03:13,570
and it looks like everybody had. And the
Weather we you know, we ordered up some perfect weather for the
Event.

607
01:03:16,130 --> 01:03:16,130
so, you know, thank you to the good lord
Above for providing a nice,

608
01:03:21,850 --> 01:03:25,510
cool evening. A couple of things coming up
Immediately. As close as tomorrow. Tomorrow morning at
815.

609
01:03:29,510 --> 01:03:29,510
the chamber is having the costco re grand
Opening at 815 in the morning.

610
01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:33,750
and then tomorrow night,
I wanted to mention that the fire district is

611
01:03:38,270 --> 01:03:41,910
going to be celebrating retirements of two
Individuals, and I won't give their names.

612
01:03:43,350 --> 01:03:47,350
now, we'll wait until after this in my next
Report, but a lot of stuff going on.

613
01:03:50,590 --> 01:03:50,590
thank you again for all of the staff's
Putting up with the inconvenience of,

614
01:03:57,390 --> 01:03:59,750
of all that's going on at city hall. But, you know, we just celebrated the 4th of
July and it was hopefully for everybody a

615
01:04:05,470 --> 01:04:05,470
happy occasion. But we can't help but focus
On what happened in texas and the tragedy

616
01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:12,870
that occurred there and make us all realize
That,

617
01:04:17,230 --> 01:04:19,990
you know, bad things happen to good people. When we were talking about the recreation
Staff providing summer camps and everything

618
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:29,040
for young children. And look at,
You know, what happened there. So I want everybody to hold everybody that
Was involved there in,

619
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:35,080
in their prayers and in that in respect to
That,

620
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,880
I'm going to adjourn tonight. We adjourn in memory of the more than 100
Victims who lost their lives in the

621
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,240
devastating texas flooding flooding event. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the
Individuals and families who have suffered

622
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:57,040
the unimaginable loss of children attending a
Summer camp, and loved ones who were washed away in the
Flooding.

623
01:04:59,960 --> 01:04:59,960
our thoughts are with those who have been
Displaced and all the first responders in

624
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:04,480
kerr county working to recover victims
Reunite families and work throughout the

625
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:09,600
aftermath. And with that,
I will officially adjourn tonight's meeting.

626
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,840
and god bless the united states and god
Bless. Chino hills.
