I say innocently because my understanding is she was encouraged 76 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:50,060 or invited to do this by Trinity from your management staff. I also understand that the city manager 77 00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:54,800 was out of town at the time but has in the past advice and employees that it's not in the best 78 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,420 interest to be involved in the campaigns. Now which version is it you're working with or it is 79 00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:06,980 another version. Who knows? Do you realize that you we have already had numerous complaints, 80 00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:13,960 settlements, lawsuits, etc. regarding city employees? Are you not opening up the city to more 81 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,740 litigation? Just look at the lawsuits filed by a former employee that Alito allegedly ordered 82 00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:25,480 fired, and his divended a friend or a neighbor, even though this neighbor allegedly shoved that 83 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,280 and uttered the N word. 84 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,780 Nice to spec Jim, you will say something like 85 00:08:29,780 --> 00:08:31,460 Vera, you're just sour grapes because 86 00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:32,980 we didn't appoint you to the vacancy 87 00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:35,100 and be sure you get a chance 88 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,180 to have the last word at my expense. 89 00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:38,880 Let me share with the public the so-called 90 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,120 process you played with. 91 00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:43,180 First, I met with all of the council members 92 00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:45,580 for favorable consideration of my appointment. 93 00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,600 After all, I'd ring the table 94 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,440 a wealth of experience and knowledge. 95 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,560 However, in my office 96 00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:59,060 On 2013 street, I met with you in seek, and the first thing you asked me was, would I be willing to fire the city manager? 97 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,740 Well, my response did not please you. 98 00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:07,440 That was just one of the many distasteful distasteful conditions you placed on the appointment. 99 00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:15,240 After telling me you wanted to appoint a lean Harris, you said she doesn't have the votes, but would have a tough time winning the election in March. 100 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:21,260 You wanted my endorsement of the race for you for City Clerk, your 62 years old and needed 101 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:22,440 the retirement package. 102 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,340 In addition, I was supposed to support you when you came back in 2017 as mayor. 103 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,940 On another note, I was approached by two union representatives at a council meeting representing 104 00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:38,380 AFSME and IBEW, in which they want to be a stand-down on not to seek the appointment. 105 00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:42,580 They wanted Alene Harris to get the appointment because she couldn't win the election. 106 00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:47,940 And that if I ran for the March election, I would get all the unions supported and money to me. 107 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,020 Mr. Randall? 108 00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:14,800 You may do that, certainly. So, I'll send this back. Robert Leslie, you next, follow my Dr. Bond. 109 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:40,080 Good evening, council, buddy. It's staff. Robert Leslie, Carson. I don't have all the insight and information as Ms. DeWitt spoke previous 110 00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:51,460 at the podium here, but it's really interesting that you look at the fact that you had several other city managers. 111 00:10:52,480 --> 00:11:01,720 And it's really ironic with the other city manager that was just previous, well, release or far too high ever you want to choose to use that term. 112 00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:10,140 The person came back with an exemplar, I understand with the, they did a survey and everything 113 00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:15,300 and it was an exemplar, only as a conductor and it actually has a workload, but yet 114 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:16,820 instead he was dismissed anyway. 115 00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:22,440 Now, we're getting ready to come back into this present factor again and talking about 116 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,540 dismissing another city manager. 117 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,260 It's really ironic when you start to look at it overall, the totality of it, when you 118 00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:38,080 to put in three things in place here. You start making people who want to come in here to 119 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:45,320 do anything pertinent and progressive for this city. You make them start thinking two and three times. 120 00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:51,380 Like, why should I put my application here? Because every time there's a disagreement or something 121 00:11:51,380 --> 00:11:57,300 that might not be in the best interest of what's going on with someone who's up on the 122 00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:02,660 is there. I'm going to be dismissed. That's one aspect of it. The other thing is that you 123 00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:07,120 start having that you look at the business community and start looking at the fact of saying, 124 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,880 I'm a stable aspect, what's happening with the city here? It's like, really, do I want 125 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,640 to put my time and effort in it? And then next time, I'm negotiating with this person here and 126 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:24,400 then next thing, I'm negotiating with somebody 180 degrees from what I'm going. And then you make 127 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:33,900 community, look at it and say, this is nothing but a continuously uphill out of a joke in 128 00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:43,100 a sense because I've had this meeting just past weekend and we had standing room on 129 00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:49,440 just practically and all of a sudden people want to know why what's happening, what's 130 00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:55,760 But you understand there's never, never, never, never, never even when we testified in the 131 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,400 last time. 132 00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:02,660 You've never did articulate of the deficiencies or those things that that particular city 133 00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:04,620 manager wouldn't capable of doing. 134 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,180 Now here we're getting ready to deal with the same situation here. 135 00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:09,580 It's really how running here. 136 00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:15,700 And so like I said, this issue will be something that coming up in the future at our 137 00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:17,100 communities and stuff like that. 138 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:17,780 Thank you. 139 00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:20,760 The next speaker is Dr. Boggs. 140 00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:27,330 Mayor, do you remember to the City Council? 141 00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:32,530 I just want to speak on the close for the co-session. 142 00:13:34,430 --> 00:13:44,370 But the one that says there is a talk about here for public employee discipline, dismissal 143 00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:51,830 for me these. And, you know, the only thing I want to say, I ask that the city manager wants 144 00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:57,350 to be fired when I got angry. I regret that I did that, and I apologize for doing it. 145 00:13:59,070 --> 00:14:04,690 I think that we need to take it easy a little bit. What are we going to, you know, 146 00:14:04,890 --> 00:14:11,370 can't this thing be settled with a hand shake or a little bit more than that perhaps, but we're 147 00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:18,450 you might fire in somebody, you know, that's a pretty important thing, so jobs are hard to get. 148 00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:27,590 And, you know, Mr. Centrina, I'm minimizing the names here because I don't want to get into the detail of it. 149 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:37,990 But please, try to settle it without beating up on people, without, you know, demands of mine. 150 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:46,770 you know, this is really city money. So please, let's somehow settle this in peace. Thank you. 151 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:52,600 Are there any other persons wishing to address us on closed session items? 152 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,900 Okay, apparently not.

There's something that we said about five o'clock this afternoon. 240 00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:37,590 Yes, so certain allegations were made earlier against the mayor for term regarding the alleged use of an offensive ward. 241 00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:44,370 And I think it's important that we clarified that issue even though one were in a lawsuit. 242 00:27:44,370 --> 00:27:53,410 I want to set the record straight that those allegations are unfounded and inaccurate. 243 00:27:54,590 --> 00:28:05,270 In fact, the plaintiff in that Cheney lawsuit has made allegations that during the altercation he was having with Mr. Rivera, 244 00:28:05,270 --> 00:28:14,470 Mr. Rivera used that offensive word and also called the person, or Mr. Cheney, a little boy. 245 00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:19,030 And this is all in the complaint filed by Mr. 246 00:28:22,330 --> 00:28:22,770 Cheney. 247 00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:26,890 Thank you, paragraphs three of his complaint. And that's a public record. 248 00:28:26,890 --> 00:28:33,390 anybody would like to inspect it nowhere in the complaint. Are there any allegations made against 249 00:28:33,390 --> 00:28:40,750 the mayor-protem of using such a word? And the record in the lawsuit does not absolutely 250 00:28:40,750 --> 00:28:49,990 does not support such allegation. I thought it was important to clarify that. Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor, 251 00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:56,750 I'd like to say thank you to our city attorney for clarifying that and I hope that 252 00:28:56,890 --> 00:29:04,070 a couple of people I believe who got up there and said something about me that's really unfounded, 253 00:29:04,670 --> 00:29:16,630 not true, falsity and everything. Now it's clarified that corrected that what they alleged, 254 00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:25,650 what they said here a while ago, we're not true. Thank you so very much for doing the job of 255 00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:28,530 I'm going to clarify this not what said. 256 00:29:28,930 --> 00:29:29,510 I guess me. 257 00:29:29,650 --> 00:29:30,290 Thank you very much. 258 00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:31,910 Thank you. 259 00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:38,950 And I must say if I could paraphrase a quote from Abraham Lincoln, he once stated publicly that 260 00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:46,630 if he were to spend his time defending himself against every false allegation, every false 261 00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:50,750 statement, he wouldn't have time to do his job. 262 00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:58,470 And so I want to assure you that the Mayor of Pro Tem Santorina is a man of a great 263 00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:59,970 statue in our community. Be cut. 264 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:25,140 This of his integrity, because of his honesty, and because of his self respect, and therefore, his respect for other people. He would never make such an allegation. I mean, a comment like that, it just not even part of his being. And so for some of them to come up to this podium and make up a story, a complete fall story, I just go back to the quote from Abraham Lincoln.

I have another one of my bosses, the great board 387 00:39:00,620 --> 00:39:05,920 director Donald L. Deer. I understand he has no relationship to this mayor, but if he does have 388 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,520 a relationship with this mayor, I understand he's the most charming of all the Deers. 389 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:12,480 So, 390 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,220 The question really simply to ask, where does our most water come from? 391 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,740 It actually over half the water in southern California and the South Bay and Carson comes 392 00:39:21,740 --> 00:39:23,040 from outside the area. 393 00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:30,780 It comes from places that our aqueducts canow and reservoirs and it comes from as far away 394 00:39:30,780 --> 00:39:35,900 as the Lairmy oil meat and it comes from as far north as Lake Shasta. 395 00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:41,740 This water is called the imported water and it is delivered by the metropolitan water district 396 00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:46,520 of Southern California. So what happens is it's primarily driven by precipitation and snow 397 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,260 pack. And when that snow pack melts, it fills a reservoirs, rivers and lakes, and it's transported 398 00:39:51,260 --> 00:39:56,820 down to Southern California. Now the problem is, the last couple of years, we've had extremely dry 399 00:39:56,820 --> 00:39:59,580 years. And so those reservoirs have been drained. 400 00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:07,260 Kind of like your savings account. And when your savings account dries up, you were laying your checking account. And that's not a good thing. 401 00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:24,060 So what we have been is, I want to point out to how dry has it actually been in Southern California. This is a map that tracks the severity of the drought. This is 2012. This is done by the National Institute of Weather Systems. 402 00:40:24,060 --> 00:40:34,960 And this is 2012 and the same period, this is September and 2012, this is a year later 2013 as the colors get darker that expresses the severity of the drought. 403 00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:43,960 And then this past year you can see 82% of the state of California is either an exceptional or an extreme drought. It is very, very severe. 404 00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:51,560 So if we don't receive above average snowpack this year, we might actually be back to you 405 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,280 in all of our cities to ask you to use even less than you have been. 406 00:40:56,980 --> 00:41:01,380 And that's going to be kind of difficult because we need to preserve our savings account 407 00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:07,080 what's left in it so we don't have to rely on our checking account, which is a year to 408 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:07,760 year reliance. 409 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,360 That's not a good place to be. 410 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,340 But what has less basin been doing to defend the drought? 411 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,040 Well, actually we've been defending the drought for over two decades. 412 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,900 We have built a world-class water recycling facility in 1995, 413 00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:30,680 and we've also instituted some water conservation programs in the early 1990s. 414 00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:36,780 And in our water recycling program, we actually produce enough water today 415 00:41:36,780 --> 00:41:44,160 That serves precious, holdable water for over three cities the size of Carson each year. 416 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:53,720 So our water recycling program develops enough recycled water that could serve three cities larger 417 00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:56,140 than the city of Carson each year. 418 00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:57,360 That's a lot of water. 419 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,440 That's what we've done to defend the drought. 420 00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:04,040 And one of the huge parts of our success has also been our good friends from the water 421 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:09,020 management district. They've been an excellent partner with us. So if you're going to come 422 00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:14,720 to California from the outside, bring your own dog on water. And this, as you recall, 423 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,140 the governor declared emergency declaration twice now, and they're actually going to look 424 00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:24,480 at it again next month by the state water resource. And he used these signs. This is an actual 425 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:30,040 sign. In the summertime, he used the Cal Trans sign to tell people, send a message and 426 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:37,040 that's been working. We're finding now from year to year. In fact, this past December, the residents 427 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:46,200 in this city, as well as all West Basin cities, have conserved almost 20% less than they did this 428 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,780 time last year. So, apply the city for doing that. 429 00:42:52,810 --> 00:42:55,310 I also wanted to mention to you, we've been 430 00:42:55,310 --> 00:42:59,910 bringing in recycled water here locally. These are some of the locations you'll see here. We have 431 00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:04,990 stub hub center that we brought, excellent, the first sports field in the nation for recycled 432 00:43:04,990 --> 00:43:11,270 water, fantastic. Good year, the feel that the good year, blimp is on is, is, is use 433 00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:17,470 recycled water, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Victoria Golf Course, a great use, right? Why 434 00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:22,650 would you use drinking water and grass, right? Recycle water is perfectly suited for it. 435 00:43:22,970 --> 00:43:26,990 And then we have, we're soon going to bring it to Dominguez Tech and we've brought it substantially 436 00:43:26,990 --> 00:43:32,850 to sorrow BP and we hope to bring more to this great city and the very near future we back to you. 437 00:43:32,850 --> 00:43:37,390 I also wanted to mention to you we are committed to water reliability and our board is directed 438 00:43:37,390 --> 00:43:41,570 staff. We've been looking very, very closely at the feasibility of Ocean Water desolination. 439 00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:46,490 But the main thing for your residents we're elected to do is make sure you use only what you need, 440 00:43:47,230 --> 00:43:51,850 right? Not waste it, but mainly go to our website. We have lots of great rebate programs 441 00:43:51,850 --> 00:43:57,910 for the entire city residents. Conservation rebates. We'll actually pay to take out your 442 00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,690 lawn to put water conserving plants and other great type of water conservation tips. 443 00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:06,670 So we'd like to direct you to that website and Mr. Mayor and Council. It's been an 444 00:44:06,670 --> 00:44:09,190 absolute pleasure and thank you very much for inviting us this evening. 445 00:44:09,970 --> 00:44:15,230 You're quite welcome. Before you step away and before Director Williams steps away, 446 00:44:15,410 --> 00:44:20,090 we're going to have some comments or questions from Council members.

Now, we, West Basin, along with other water agencies, we do a lot 472 00:46:23,430 --> 00:46:30,950 of things to get you started to thinking towards conserving water. That's to get you 473 00:46:30,950 --> 00:46:36,590 started, but what keeps you going is habit. So we want you to get into the habit of 474 00:46:36,590 --> 00:46:42,050 conserving water.

And Dr. Lucy Jones, who is an expert in seismology and works with 511 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,080 federal government, was explaining that West Basin, Minister of Water District, 512 00:50:19,140 --> 00:50:19,480 the Water 513 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:26,220 Replanetary District, that Councilor Robert Robes on, and the other water districts are doing 514 00:50:26,220 --> 00:50:32,860 a great job in her view. I just wanted to pass that on as an FYI to you in reducing the 515 00:50:32,860 --> 00:50:38,400 dependency of an imported water. And that reduction of the dependency is going to come 516 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:45,100 in handy when we really need it. And so my last question is, is I don't mean to catch you off 517 00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:50,400 guard because I know you have a set presentation, but if you have any comment on what West 518 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:57,360 So water district might be doing to prepare for the big earthquake that may come within our 519 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:57,640 lifetime. 520 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,460 It may come later than that, but the point is that we don't know when that earthquake on 521 00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:05,460 the San Andreas fault may take place. 522 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,380 And so any preparations or plans? 523 00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:09,600 Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 524 00:51:09,660 --> 00:51:10,580 Great, great question. 525 00:51:10,980 --> 00:51:16,700 So I'd like the city and the council to be aware that our parent company metropolitan 526 00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:21,940 and water district and us work extremely close on emergency preparedness in the event of 527 00:51:21,940 --> 00:51:26,020 an earthquake that could knock out, you know, the two main aqueducts actually bring 528 00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:31,600 that water from outside into the region and to some comfort level, I like to relay this 529 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,980 to this council in the city that we actually have a six month supply of emergency water. 530 00:51:38,460 --> 00:51:42,980 That's in cooperation with the metropolitan water district, so we have banked if you will or 531 00:51:42,980 --> 00:51:45,320 toward, if in the fact that there's actually 532 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,820 earthquake, we could get by for six months. 533 00:51:49,020 --> 00:51:51,060 Beyond that, Mr. Mayor, it would be catastrophic 534 00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:52,100 as you can imagine. 535 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,820 But that's a pretty nice bank of supply. 536 00:51:55,020 --> 00:51:57,500 And we call that, we don't use that water. 537 00:51:57,540 --> 00:51:59,460 That's not part of what I described earlier 538 00:51:59,460 --> 00:52:01,300 as water in our savings account. 539 00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:02,460 That's a separate account. 540 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,140 That's basically untouched for the emergency purpose 541 00:52:07,140 --> 00:52:09,980 if there is an earthquake that would knock out 542 00:52:09,980 --> 00:52:11,800 our delivery systems itself. 543 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:19,760 I will also tell you we work closely with other jurisdictions on mutual aid programs, and we 544 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,680 are actually currently refreshing our emergency preparedness planet self, we're always 545 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:30,360 need to find two in that, but I do want the residents to know we have one plan for a substantial 546 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:31,080 worth quick. 547 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,920 Well, we really appreciate the West-based and a lot of district doing that because that gives 548 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,920 us some peace of mind that there is preparation taking place, and it's much appreciated. 549 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:48,100 you can imagine.

I don't know if I have to go hunt down when it initially appeared before Council. 790 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:29,660 Wasn't available online. Also to your little clerical page 4, the staff report needs to be corrected, 791 01:12:30,140 --> 01:12:36,460 the wrong result number, the wrong meeting date. Also item number 18, just a touch base. I know 792 01:12:36,460 --> 01:12:40,640 the staff just support for regarding the re-arch. I just ask that you know to prove it to go through 793 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,720 the bargaining units and meet all of your legal obligations. Also to you at once, I know if how 794 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:50,240 the city can handle classification evaluation requests from employees, it will be handled in 795 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:56,180 health staff or will be outside vendor. Also will a citywide classification study be done to evaluate 796 01:12:56,180 --> 01:13:03,820 the workforce regardless of whether or not an employee has requested it. I am I'll skip down to item 797 01:13:03,820 --> 01:13:08,840 number 24. I just had a question, regards to the cost of special election. What is the difference 798 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:16,780 of being used for. The PO says 450,000, but the transfer request is for $230,200. That's a 799 01:13:16,780 --> 01:13:21,080 difference of 80,200. I just couldn't find anywhere in the staff report what that money was for. 800 01:13:21,340 --> 01:13:24,700 Just a question about that. By the way, I don't have an item, uh, problem with it. Go ahead and 801 01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:31,460 improve it. Um, big issue I have is, I didn't 25, and we're gonna see the ordinance in second reading. 802 01:13:32,460 --> 01:13:38,320 I do not want you guys to approve this item. This section was implemented in section of the city to make 803 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,340 to prevent elected officials from serving their influence onto the workforce which could 804 01:13:42,340 --> 01:13:48,140 possibly lead to illegal activity. There's no need to remove this section. A previous meeting 805 01:13:48,140 --> 01:13:51,980 stated was because the City Council can't speak the staff, you can speak the staff, but it is 806 01:13:51,980 --> 01:13:55,620 as you cannot get directives to anyone else besides City Manager. 807 01:13:57,780 --> 01:14:00,120 And by you removing this section, 808 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:05,500 you're putting employees in the compromising situation by you guys being able to give 809 01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:10,460 directives to the workforce. And I believe that the removal of the section is going to 810 01:14:10,460 --> 01:14:14,180 lead us down to the same path to city at Belle. You can call it the city of West Belle. 811 01:14:15,500 --> 01:14:20,620 And the example of this is really bothers me, if I saw a line of a mayor pretend 812 01:14:21,180 --> 01:14:27,940 sitting in on a meeting, termination meeting of a part-time employee, who was terminated. And I 813 01:14:27,940 --> 01:14:33,300 don't believe because I saw someone from the public refer to him as a nigger and little boy. 814 01:14:34,180 --> 01:14:45,680 And I know he's in the middle of I pick the employees and he was singing, and I have a really bad, I have a really big problem with the mayor pull-times sitting in on the termination meeting for a part-time employee. 815 01:14:46,060 --> 01:14:49,620 We don't have you guys sitting on a full-time, why don't I love what you'd be sitting on a part-time? 816 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,520 I have a really big problem. If you remove this CMC section, you're opening the door to that. 817 01:14:57,890 --> 01:14:59,970 Okay, we're going to do it. 818 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,540 Answer some of those questions here. 819 01:15:05,790 --> 01:15:05,790 Yeah. 820 01:15:09,220 --> 01:15:09,360 Well, 821 01:15:11,450 --> 01:15:18,750 okay. Maybe first of all, she had a general comment and I don't know that there was a question in there. 822 01:15:18,970 --> 01:15:29,230 Like that item four is a closed session item. That's the prerogative of the elected officials to discuss any concerns that they might have. 823 01:15:29,230 --> 01:15:34,990 And I think that's standard and normal for us to do that. 824 01:15:35,450 --> 01:15:38,450 I don't know, 12, we're going to ask the city manager to address that, 825 01:15:38,470 --> 01:15:39,730 because he had two questions. 826 01:15:39,890 --> 01:15:41,470 One is Job Specs. 827 01:15:42,250 --> 01:15:50,050 And she also referenced the why the PhD requirement was there. 828 01:15:50,170 --> 01:15:51,810 If you could answer those two questions, please. 829 01:15:51,970 --> 01:15:56,450 No, it's important to keep this job into context. 830 01:15:56,450 --> 01:16:06,470 This job is to be the administrator of contracts for public work services that are performed by outside vendors. 831 01:16:07,250 --> 01:16:13,850 So for example, we have a contract with waste management to pick up all the rubbish and trash in the city. 832 01:16:14,490 --> 01:16:21,050 We have a contract with enterprise cars to provide the fleet for the city vehicles. 833 01:16:21,050 --> 01:16:27,150 We have a contract to sweep the streets, it's a little bit of a tongue twister. 834 01:16:28,810 --> 01:16:33,170 We have a contract to trim the trees, another tongue twister. 835 01:16:34,210 --> 01:16:35,950 And so we do all that by contract. 836 01:16:36,950 --> 01:16:42,310 So it's important for this person to have a background in contract administration. 837 01:16:43,130 --> 01:16:48,230 It doesn't have to be an attorney, but if someone has a law degree, 838 01:16:48,230 --> 01:16:52,930 and maybe doesn't want to practice law anymore, but they know contracts and contract administration 839 01:16:52,930 --> 01:16:59,370 that would be beneficial. If they have a masters, for example, a public administration, that'd be fantastic. 840 01:17:00,130 --> 01:17:05,490 If they have a bachelor's with experience and contract administration, that'd be okay. 841 01:17:06,530 --> 01:17:11,570 And if they have sub-certificates, advance certificates and contract management, that'd be great. 842 01:17:12,030 --> 01:17:17,810 So I think there's a variety of paths to get to that job. The important thing is to have someone 843 01:17:17,810 --> 01:17:21,270 with expertise and contract management, contract compliance. 844 01:17:22,150 --> 01:17:25,770 And our director of Human Resources is here to answer additional questions. 845 01:17:26,210 --> 01:17:27,250 Or give additional information. 846 01:17:32,210 --> 01:17:34,050 Is your microphone on, Gail? 847 01:17:34,730 --> 01:17:35,390 Yeah, make sure to. 848 01:17:37,570 --> 01:17:40,810 The green light at the base of your microphone should be on. 849 01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:42,830 So press words says push. 850 01:17:43,610 --> 01:17:44,950 Does the green light go on? 851 01:17:48,350 --> 01:17:53,550 I think Mr. City Manager, your IT people have to turn the volume up. 852 01:17:53,550 --> 01:17:56,490 on that microphone. 853 01:17:57,590 --> 01:17:59,170 Sound check. This one works. 854 01:18:06,990 --> 01:18:13,210 We have a cordless mic you can use because we don't want to waste a lot of precious time 855 01:18:13,210 --> 01:18:17,970 of the people in the audience, especially the young people that might have some homework to do. 856 01:18:32,940 --> 01:18:34,000 Gayle, we can hear you. 857 01:18:34,180 --> 01:18:34,700 Is that better? 858 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:35,420 Okay, good. 859 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:38,820 Please be concise. 860 01:18:39,220 --> 01:18:40,500 Very, very fine. 861 01:18:40,500 --> 01:18:48,460 I just wanted to add that we did work with not only administration, but we worked with the previous incumbent as well. 862 01:18:48,580 --> 01:18:55,060 He had performed the job for a number of years, and he helped us develop changes to the job description. 863 01:18:55,900 --> 01:19:01,700 So as you can see, when looking at the job description, there's not a lot of new material. 864 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,820 It's just contract is stressed. 865 01:19:05,340 --> 01:19:07,780 Contract work is stressed. 866 01:19:07,780 --> 01:19:17,360 It's stressed. It's stressed. It's more important. We've made it more important. It was always in the job description. 867 01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,960 We've just only clarified the importance of it. 868 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,260 It's stressed, I swear. 869 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,720 Okay, and then the next, was regarding the election, 870 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:35,820 why the discrepancy between the $150,000 and the $280,000 figures read by Ms. Many. 871 01:19:35,820 --> 01:19:39,060 Mr. Mayor, City Council, City Clerk's Office, 872 01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:44,040 Greater Staff Report, and we did ask for a purchase request 873 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,360 and purchase order, excuse me, in the amount of $150,000 874 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,420 for the election of vendor-mariner, Chapman. 875 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:55,100 The difference in the $230,000 that we are anticipating spending 876 01:19:55,100 --> 01:19:58,440 is the $80,000 for the administrative costs 877 01:19:58,440 --> 01:19:59,720 of conducting election. 878 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:00,000 Thank you. 879 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:06,900 For the city clerk's office, for example, the cost that we would incur with the county registrar recorders office. 880 01:20:07,380 --> 01:20:14,480 The cost that are associated to polling places and poll workers and just the administration of the election. 881 01:20:14,700 --> 01:20:23,740 So that's the difference and $150,000 P.O. from Martin and $230,000 budget it for the special election. 882 01:20:23,740 --> 01:20:30,600 Okay. Thank you. That's a very clear explanation. So just so when people understand that this special 883 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:38,480 election is going to cost the taxpayers $230,000 approximately. Okay. Now we're going to go to the next 884 01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:39,260 comment. 885 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:50,210 It had to do with, I can't read my own writing here for a moment. It was on out of 25 886 01:20:50,210 --> 01:20:52,550 of a bully. Let's see what that is. 887 01:20:59,170 --> 01:21:01,310 Oh, it was a second reading I think. 888 01:21:06,290 --> 01:21:07,430 Hold on one second. 889 01:21:07,850 --> 01:21:09,570 I'll check my agenda. 890 01:21:17,590 --> 01:21:20,470 I think it was just a comment on this special. I don't think there was 891 01:21:20,470 --> 01:21:28,370 a question needed answered. Okay. The next speaker is going to be Kevin Young. 892 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:44,340 Welcome back. 893 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,980 Thank you. Good evening. 894 01:21:48,270 --> 01:21:53,190 I wrote a letter back in 2011 about the parking issue which never got 895 01:21:53,190 --> 01:21:58,150 response to. So this has been going on for over three and a half years. I don't understand 896 01:21:58,150 --> 01:22:02,830 why the city is first saying they don't know nothing about it when I wrote the letter three 897 01:22:02,830 --> 01:22:09,890 years ago with your stamp on it. So I did turn it in. So I don't know why I never got to you. 898 01:22:10,210 --> 01:22:15,930 I don't understand if the key of people are going to park here, why do we need the permit parking? 899 01:22:16,710 --> 01:22:21,350 And how do you guarantee that they won't park in the street? When it's not an employee parking lot, 900 01:22:21,350 --> 01:22:27,290 They continue to do that. They are a nuisance to the neighborhood. There are nuisance ordinances 901 01:22:27,290 --> 01:22:29,650 There are a lot of ordinances that they're breaking now 902 01:22:29,650 --> 01:22:32,670 But the city doesn't do anything about and I don't understand why 903 01:22:33,210 --> 01:22:39,410 So I think what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to write a letter and I'm going to mail a therapy news agency and newspaper 904 01:22:39,910 --> 01:22:46,070 In this town and see if they want to do something about it because the city doesn't seem to want to do anything about it 905 01:22:46,630 --> 01:22:48,430 I don't understand what the big deal is 906 01:22:48,430 --> 01:22:53,430 why you can't just tell them they can't park in the street like every other business can't. 907 01:22:54,750 --> 01:22:58,350 We just discussed this last time and still nothing. 908 01:22:59,310 --> 01:23:03,350 And now I see here that they're willing to pay for the cost of the thing. 909 01:23:03,790 --> 01:23:08,450 So what happens on a Sunday if my friends decide to come over I don't have parking passes. 910 01:23:09,410 --> 01:23:12,510 Do I call somebody here and are they going to give me parking passes? 911 01:23:12,930 --> 01:23:24,210 So, now you're encroaching on my rights that you all freely have to have a party at your house whenever you so choose to do so and not have to come to the city and say, can I have a party at my house? 912 01:23:25,530 --> 01:23:26,730 So, what am I supposed to do then? 913 01:23:26,970 --> 01:23:27,810 Not have a party? 914 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,120 I can't watch the ballgame with my friends. 915 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,520 Or are you going to give me 50 passes every month? 916 01:23:38,940 --> 01:23:40,640 Or do I have to come here and plan a party? 917 01:23:43,110 --> 01:23:51,150 I don't understand how this is going to solve the problem, whether they're not supposed to be parking in the street at all. 918 01:23:52,010 --> 01:23:58,150 Why does the perception is there that the city is giving them different treatment than any other business? 919 01:23:59,050 --> 01:24:02,120 And that just doesn't look right with you. I don't know why you do that. 920 01:24:03,230 --> 01:24:09,230 You know, you can only go so far and then you end up pissing people off and then they make noise now. 921 01:24:09,230 --> 01:24:14,570 If they would just stay on their side of the street nobody would care. That's fine that they stay over there 922 01:24:14,570 --> 01:24:19,690 But now they blocked my whole neighborhood. They blocked the whole street that I live on 923 01:24:19,690 --> 01:24:25,630 I can't even have a do anything there now Saturday Sundays is the worst all the neighbors are home from work 924 01:24:25,630 --> 01:24:30,050 As soon as we move a car, they swoop right in. They think it's their parking lot 925 01:24:30,050 --> 01:24:32,450 They think we're encroaching on them 926 01:24:32,450 --> 01:24:39,210 Why is that when I pay property tax? Why I can't park in front of my house when I come home from work just like all of you do 927 01:24:40,050 --> 01:24:41,790 Why don't have to park three blocks away? 928 01:24:42,410 --> 01:24:44,250 What does my wife have to park three blocks away? 929 01:24:44,730 --> 01:24:46,050 And then we bother another neighborhood. 930 01:24:46,930 --> 01:24:48,830 And then at 10 o'clock, I got to go find my car. 931 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:57,440 If I may answer your questions, you may have some pointed points. 932 01:24:58,600 --> 01:24:59,960 First of all... 933 01:25:00,210 --> 01:25:08,970 Tonight, we have agenda item to address the issue. In 2011, that was the year, if I'm not mistaken, 934 01:25:11,390 --> 01:25:25,210 that if you recall, there was no parking allowed whatsoever on 2013 street from Avalon Boulevard to where the road narrows, though when the road narrows, there was parking allowed. 935 01:25:25,210 --> 01:25:35,010 Do you recall that? Yes. Okay. So, at the time, the key to the ship wasn't selling as many cars as they are now. 936 01:25:36,270 --> 01:25:41,470 And we then opened up parking. We made two 13th street, at least from the driveway to where the road narrows. 937 01:25:42,450 --> 01:25:46,810 We created parking available to the public on a public street. 938 01:25:46,810 --> 01:25:52,790 That was a very small change, but it was significant for the residents on to 13th Street. 939 01:25:53,070 --> 01:25:56,610 I don't recall what street you live on, fries on fries, okay? 940 01:25:56,750 --> 01:26:04,650 The people on to 13th, we're very happy with me that we opened up that parking when they addressed that issue to me. 941 01:26:06,150 --> 01:26:16,050 The other thing is that this key of leadership is getting more and more into their sales. 942 01:26:16,050 --> 01:26:18,750 and they're becoming more impacting. 943 01:26:19,250 --> 01:26:20,650 But that's not an excuse for them 944 01:26:20,650 --> 01:26:22,630 to park in the street and block all of us. 945 01:26:22,930 --> 01:26:24,670 Okay, well, they shouldn't be blocking anyone. 946 01:26:25,750 --> 01:26:27,290 We're hoping that this issue tonight 947 01:26:27,290 --> 01:26:31,470 will be resolved tonight, like the four of us promised 948 01:26:31,470 --> 01:26:32,290 we would do. 949 01:26:32,570 --> 01:26:35,010 That's why we're here tonight with this agenda item. 950 01:26:35,650 --> 01:26:38,430 We are going to ask that all the employees, 951 01:26:40,490 --> 01:26:45,870 park the city of Carson, parking lot of our city hall, 952 01:26:46,050 --> 01:26:49,170 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which were the 953 01:26:50,110 --> 01:26:52,270 Saturdays and Sundays of the worst days for you. 954 01:26:53,510 --> 01:26:54,650 The whole week is the worst. 955 01:26:54,770 --> 01:26:55,230 I don't know. 956 01:26:56,270 --> 01:26:58,690 But you just stated that Saturday was the worst. 957 01:26:58,850 --> 01:26:59,850 So I'm just repeating what you show. 958 01:27:00,030 --> 01:27:02,070 All the neighbors are home, but it's like that. 959 01:27:02,070 --> 01:27:03,190 We can go in front of my house right now. 960 01:27:03,330 --> 01:27:04,990 There's a key at the car in front of my house right now. 961 01:27:05,230 --> 01:27:06,530 No one's disputing that. 962 01:27:06,630 --> 01:27:07,070 You're right. 963 01:27:07,350 --> 01:27:09,030 We're trying to solve the problem. 964 01:27:10,770 --> 01:27:13,290 It is the public street and you can't stop people from 965 01:27:13,870 --> 01:27:20,850 in the public street. We have a problem here with it. Over-parking. So we're going to ask them to stop doing that. 966 01:27:21,110 --> 01:27:25,210 We're going to ask them to do that. That's what the agenda item is tonight to get them to stop 967 01:27:25,210 --> 01:27:31,570 causing a problem for you and your neighbors. If our solution doesn't work, we're going to take another step. 968 01:27:32,530 --> 01:27:38,690 But we have to give them a chance to correct their ways. And we believe that this is a solution. 969 01:27:40,190 --> 01:27:43,950 Employees are going to be able to park in our parking lot, which we have a lot of beds. 970 01:27:43,970 --> 01:27:45,750 What's the guarantee that they're going to do that? 971 01:27:46,050 --> 01:27:50,730 You say it's a public street, so if they decide to park in the street again, 972 01:27:51,090 --> 01:27:54,790 you're telling me there's nothing I can do about it, and there's nothing the city can do about it. 973 01:27:54,950 --> 01:27:56,970 So there's something you can do about it. 974 01:27:57,010 --> 01:27:59,730 You come to us and we should respond. 975 01:27:59,910 --> 01:28:03,710 That's why you elected us to serve you, to work for you. 976 01:28:03,710 --> 01:28:13,430 And I believe the staff also understands that, city of Carson staff, and if this solution tonight, assuming it passes, 977 01:28:14,430 --> 01:28:19,270 doesn't solve the problem, we're going to act further to solve the problem. That's why we're here. 978 01:28:19,570 --> 01:28:22,250 And I'm not trying to 979 01:28:24,390 --> 01:28:26,710 be, you know, non-challan about this. 980 01:28:26,770 --> 01:28:29,070 I take your words very seriously. 981 01:28:29,070 --> 01:28:37,230 I respect you and your neighbors and we need to take care of the quality of life that you deserve. 982 01:28:37,950 --> 01:28:45,730 And this impact your life, we're trying to stop this from bothering you and your neighbors on fries or 2013 and all the other streets in that area. 983 01:28:46,930 --> 01:28:49,550 So we're moving forward with what you want, I believe. 984 01:28:50,590 --> 01:28:51,610 I want them to stop parking. 985 01:28:52,270 --> 01:28:53,050 That's what I want. 986 01:28:53,810 --> 01:28:55,270 I mean, I'm not trying to be smart about it. 987 01:28:56,190 --> 01:28:57,630 There's a good park there. 988 01:28:58,250 --> 01:28:59,370 I mean, that's the bottom line. 989 01:28:59,390 --> 01:29:04,690 One of the stop impacting your neighborhood, which is the only way to do that is not to park there. 990 01:29:04,990 --> 01:29:05,790 They're not allowed to park. 991 01:29:05,970 --> 01:29:06,910 They're in this whole ye. 992 01:29:07,210 --> 01:29:08,730 They have no business in front of my house. 993 01:29:09,170 --> 01:29:14,230 That's why we want them to park in the city hall parking lot. 994 01:29:14,370 --> 01:29:17,310 So I'm just asking what's the good thing that they will do that. 995 01:29:17,610 --> 01:29:22,330 Because there's no penalty for them if they decide the park back in the street. 996 01:29:22,550 --> 01:29:23,390 There's no penalty. 997 01:29:23,390 --> 01:29:29,910 So we'll be here. There will be, believe me, if they don't cooperate, they said they're going to cooperate. 998 01:29:30,150 --> 01:29:35,950 We have to give them a chance to keep their word. If they don't keep their word, I'm sure you'll be back here. 999 01:29:36,090 --> 01:29:39,150 Your neighbors will be out here and we won't be any happier than you are with them. 1000 01:29:39,710 --> 01:29:43,010 So, let's give them a chance to, it's been. 1001 01:29:43,110 --> 01:29:47,230 If this doesn't work, I'm telling you that it's on the agenda tonight. 1002 01:29:48,070 --> 01:29:50,970 Thank you. You're welcome Kevin. Thank you for being here tonight. 1003 01:29:50,970 --> 01:29:52,090 Mr. May? 1004 01:29:52,410 --> 01:29:53,410 Yes, Councilman. 1005 01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:59,670 When we get to this item, I think it's important, and I hear what he's saying, because I 1006 01:29:59,670 --> 01:29:59,950 I'm going to live. 1007 01:30:01,700 --> 01:30:16,700 I think it's important that if this situation, the plan of action that's in place, if there are some problems, my other question when we come to this agenda has this process been started, are you waiting for council approval? 1008 01:30:19,580 --> 01:30:24,560 It's been two weeks. Yes, we've had a meeting. I had a meeting with the general manager there. 1009 01:30:25,460 --> 01:30:33,260 The two general managers and they've agreed as Mr. Young said to pay for the permit parking for the neighbors. 1010 01:30:33,340 --> 01:30:37,780 And you hear him back what he said to the manager saying, can you hear him? 1011 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:43,780 Okay, go ahead. Okay. So they've agreed to pay for the permits for parking for the neighbors. 1012 01:30:43,780 --> 01:30:50,000 They agreed not to unload their vehicles on the side street, and they agreed that 1013 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:57,240 we agreed in concept to a parking plan in which we would lease them some parking spaces here at City Hall, 1014 01:30:57,580 --> 01:31:03,720 particularly Friday Saturday and Sunday when City Hall is closed, and they're at their peak operation. 1015 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:08,920 Okay, and I think what I'm hearing him say is if they don't want what would be the penalties. 1016 01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:14,740 highest kid care going to penalize their employees. Well, they'll be permit parking out there and if they don't have a permit 1017 01:31:14,740 --> 01:31:20,860 They don't have a victim park in the Spain. It's a ticket. Exactly. So it's up to us Jim forced the parking like we 1018 01:31:20,860 --> 01:31:26,520 And it's up to the residents. Let me say this is very loud and clear because in front of Anderson Park 1019 01:31:27,580 --> 01:31:35,580 They have problems when the residents cold their eyes and say oh, they're just there. When you call the sheriff and you get a couple of tickets that solves it 1020 01:31:35,580 --> 01:31:39,600 So this is a partnership between the City of Carson and the residents. 1021 01:31:40,060 --> 01:31:43,920 If someone's parked in from your house without a permit, not here, you can get more than one 1022 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:44,300 permit. 1023 01:31:44,860 --> 01:31:47,660 That's what I'm reading this report, additional for it, permits a free. 1024 01:31:48,180 --> 01:31:54,180 So if you need 10, 15, whatever you need, but it's important for the residents to call the 1025 01:31:54,180 --> 01:31:55,620 sheriff department for ticketing. 1026 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,880 When it gets out of hand at Anderson Park, doing the summer months, especially is because 1027 01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:02,400 the residents, from cash, Dan, 1028 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,660 on cash, Dan off of Wilburton, to Craig John, 1029 01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:09,960 they close their eyes, but when they call the sheriff, 1030 01:32:10,260 --> 01:32:13,540 consistently, they don't have any parking right there on cash. 1031 01:32:14,580 --> 01:32:16,180 And I can speak from experience 1032 01:32:16,180 --> 01:32:17,980 and I know what you're going through because it's a nightmare 1033 01:32:17,980 --> 01:32:19,720 you can't park in front of your house. 1034 01:32:20,860 --> 01:32:22,480 So if the permits are going to be in place 1035 01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:24,300 as an excellent idea, but residents, 1036 01:32:24,500 --> 01:32:26,440 you're going to have to implement what's in place. 1037 01:32:28,460 --> 01:32:31,500 Councilman Mayor of Perthum Center in the hands of law. 1038 01:32:31,700 --> 01:32:33,240 I think we're almost Mr. Mayor. 1039 01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:38,640 And the council member, Laura Davis, Holmes said about the call the sheriff. 1040 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,980 And there's an item on the agenda that I requested to be placed. 1041 01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:50,260 And it has something to do with the response time that the captain and I would be discussing 1042 01:32:50,260 --> 01:32:55,880 or we have discussed in details as to how we can improve the response time 1043 01:32:55,880 --> 01:33:02,500 of our Deputy Sheriff, under the leadership of our new captain. 1044 01:33:03,440 --> 01:33:06,240 That is going to be addressed very seriously. 1045 01:33:08,780 --> 01:33:09,200 I will repeat. 1046 01:33:09,300 --> 01:33:14,120 I'm repeating myself with regards to the response time 1047 01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:15,720 to any citizens complaining. 1048 01:33:16,740 --> 01:33:17,820 Thank you very much. 1049 01:33:19,500 --> 01:33:26,180 Okay, the next speaker is UK, you in Cho, Cho, 1050 01:33:28,580 --> 01:33:30,220 and I'll get welcoming. 1051 01:33:30,500 --> 01:33:34,980 So we have two more speaker cards, and I would like to call them up. 1052 01:33:35,220 --> 01:33:41,480 Okay, we have Luxeca, J-E-J-O, for Furio? 1053 01:33:41,480 --> 01:33:42,640 with friends now? 1054 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:42,980 Second? 1055 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:44,260 Reef where is though? 1056 01:33:44,300 --> 01:33:45,200 Reef where is though? 1057 01:33:45,660 --> 01:33:47,180 And that looks like Michaela. 1058 01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:48,140 Michaela? 1059 01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:49,940 Okay. 1060 01:33:50,580 --> 01:33:51,480 That's three of you. 1061 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:52,000 Yes. 1062 01:33:52,660 --> 01:33:53,440 Beautiful smiles. 1063 01:33:53,700 --> 01:33:54,700 We appreciate you being here. 1064 01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:55,440 Go ahead. 1065 01:33:56,100 --> 01:33:57,460 Good evening, Mr. Mayor. 1066 01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:07,580 We're from the Academy of Medical Arts and we support the City's Initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle. 1067 01:34:07,580 --> 01:34:16,180 and as you know our school has an annual healthcare expo where students present different 1068 01:34:16,180 --> 01:34:23,760 health topics and health professions and this year it'll take place at the Carson Civic Center 1069 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:34,640 on February 11th.

My name is Ken Lichor-Nu and first of all, 1100 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:53,020 I would like to compliment the successful construction of buildings that is happening in your city. 1101 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:58,520 Unfortunately, I would like to bring attention publicly of a serious problem. 1102 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:04,340 As you probably know, there's an ordinance called the Residential Property Report Inspection. 1103 01:38:04,340 --> 01:38:11,620 A residential inspection report that must be done by the city building inspector prior to the transfer of title. 1104 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:19,760 After selling a few properties in the city of Carson and having the residential property report clearance issued, 1105 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:33,240 I asked Inspector the reason for interior inspections for all properties in the city of Carson and she explained that she was instructed to inspect the exterior 1106 01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:38,960 and the interior on all the properties. So I did it started to do some research. 1107 01:38:41,480 --> 01:38:41,600 I 1108 01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:47,320 was shocked that the city ordinance that was approved by city council and approved 1109 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:53,860 by the citizens of Carson is not what the building officials should be checking as 1110 01:38:53,860 --> 01:38:55,920 well as other numerous items. 1111 01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:02,440 Section 5906, scope of the inspection for the residential property states briefly. 1112 01:39:02,440 --> 01:39:17,140 Residential property reports shall be limited to the exterior areas of a subject property and the interior areas of the attached garages, laundry rooms and storage sheds. 1113 01:39:17,980 --> 01:39:28,040 If the director has reasonable cost to believe that a main dwelling using has been illegally subdivided then an interior inspection shall be conducted. 1114 01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:29,820 What is the first problem? 1115 01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:34,760 The building inspectors are doing inspections on all properties 1116 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:40,300 in the city of Carson, Interior, which the code does not say. 1117 01:39:41,180 --> 01:39:45,140 And also, when the ordinance was passed in 1999, 1118 01:39:45,820 --> 01:39:48,700 there were approximately 25 items to be checked. 1119 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,600 Now there are 60 items to be checked. 1120 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:55,500 No approval by city council, no public hearing, 1121 01:39:55,500 --> 01:39:58,780 and also no proof by the citizens of Carson. 1122 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,060 Planning this department decided to do this on their own. 1123 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:15,900 Third major problem, Section 5903, exemptions. The City of Carson is exempt from the residential property report, inspections and clearance. 1124 01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:27,440 Why do the citizens of Carson, the banking industry, HUD properties, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, properties, all are required to do property reports and inspections, but the City of Carson does not. 1125 01:40:27,440 --> 01:40:33,160 But the last thing I want to bring up, which I do not have enough time, I've also had meetings 1126 01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:38,260 with the planning department building department verbally as well as a formal meeting 1127 01:40:38,260 --> 01:40:40,100 by the instruction of the city manager. 1128 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:45,780 I provided written documentation to them, which is this whole booklet right here, shown 1129 01:40:45,780 --> 01:40:48,760 all the documentations I received from City Clerk. 1130 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:58,920 okay we'd like to get that what you just described in writing so that those 1131 01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:05,020 issues can be addressed they sound like I get his reaction and it's possible 1132 01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:11,320 that employee possibly took it on themselves to add things that are not in the 1133 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:15,980 ordinance it sounds like that from what you're saying so if you please you said you've 1134 01:41:15,980 --> 01:41:22,620 I'm getting to the city planning department in a formal meeting and also a building official meeting 1135 01:41:22,620 --> 01:41:27,860 approximately three months ago in instruction by the city manager and I gave them the booklet 1136 01:41:27,860 --> 01:41:31,800 and I sat with them for about two hours and showed them everything step by step by step by step by step 1137 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:39,940 by step exactly how everything was done and no nothing's happened okay if you would kind of give 1138 01:41:39,940 --> 01:41:45,960 some of your responses to myself and my colleagues here on the days we're going to talk 1139 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:51,480 staff about responding to you on this issue. It looks like something needs to be responded. 1140 01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:55,360 There was one last issue too. I'm sorry to interrupt. 1141 01:41:55,900 --> 01:42:06,240 So when city of Carson did a lean recordation in 2005 which basically put a lean on all 1142 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:13,080 properties in the sort of Carson clouding the title approximately 20,000 city planning commission approved 1143 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:18,800 as a new business item. Okay, there was an and also City Council approve this as a new business item. 1144 01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:23,080 Unfortunately, there was no discussion, no proof of publication at all, 1145 01:42:23,500 --> 01:42:29,340 giving to the citizens of Carson. According to the documents, I provided that City Clerk provided to me too. 1146 01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,520 You know? Okay, well, could you include that on your right up? 1147 01:42:32,540 --> 01:42:38,620 Sure. It would be very beneficial if you did.

Because when 1248 01:52:00,630 --> 01:52:08,690 a business apply for the license, they apply for the license and according to that area that they 1249 01:52:08,690 --> 01:52:15,950 to operate in. And when they are actually doing commercial business on the streetways, they are 1250 01:52:15,950 --> 01:52:23,410 not in compliance to their permit or to that way they applied for. So I can understand the 1251 01:52:23,410 --> 01:52:29,870 frustration of the residents here, it's saying, hey, it's just not another streetway. This is 1252 01:52:29,870 --> 01:52:37,030 actually the conducting businesses of business on the streetways here and that in itself should 1253 01:52:37,030 --> 01:52:42,890 have some type of reference to make sure that you have enforcement or these people need to 1254 01:52:42,890 --> 01:52:48,830 as I said to you before.

The next speaker is Miller Boyer. 1375 02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:36,440 Good evening, everybody. The first time I, after my citizenship, I immediately find for a passport, 1376 02:05:36,440 --> 02:05:42,740 because I have to go any time we would be going to the Philippines and would be traveling 1377 02:05:42,740 --> 02:05:49,700 to Europe, but then with the filing of this passport I encountered so many problems. 1378 02:05:50,420 --> 02:06:02,260 We lost our application form was stolen together with a money and my original citizenship 1379 02:06:02,260 --> 02:06:09,860 certificate of citizenship. So I have to inform the city clerk only to find out that 1380 02:06:09,860 --> 02:06:17,140 she knows before me that it was stolen. So what I did I have to inform Bank of America 1381 02:06:17,140 --> 02:06:29,260 because our account is compromised and so I have to write the circumstances behind the stolen 1382 02:06:29,260 --> 02:06:39,980 and Bank of America has already given me the check, the cup of the check, which was in 1383 02:06:39,980 --> 02:06:51,180 case in case bank by somebody. We don't know who from the city or we don't know that or 1384 02:06:51,180 --> 02:06:58,900 from the first office, so it is under investigation. And so, mayor, I have to write to a letter 1385 02:06:58,900 --> 02:07:07,780 which she endorsed to the city clerk, because of the papers I need for writing the U.S.I.I.S. 1386 02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:10,900 for the replacement of my certificate. 1387 02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:20,840 And by the way, I was already given passport by the passport agency in Pennsylvania, which 1388 02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:28,340 is only very limited for two years, which I explained that I need a passport and going to the Philippines 1389 02:07:28,340 --> 02:07:35,680 and traveling to other countries. And so, with this case, may I remind people here in the 1390 02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:44,420 city of Garsun or the employees that next time there would be like this, be very careful, 1391 02:07:45,380 --> 02:07:53,420 and always have as for acknowledgment receipt, through the end with the acknowledgment receipt, 1392 02:07:53,420 --> 02:08:04,480 You will know how to write where the indecransit of the letter, you will know very well who had received this thing. 1393 02:08:06,540 --> 02:08:15,840 And indecransit the package is in the package only the letter, the endorsement letter was in it. 1394 02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:26,540 I am not the only one, but there are four of us who lost in that package, we have the certificate, 1395 02:08:32,460 --> 02:08:34,420 okay, Mayor, thank you. 1396 02:08:36,300 --> 02:08:46,500 You want to complete your thought?

The reason I want to say on the agenda is for the residents of Carson to know that if any resident of Carson that has trash pick up, if you're disabled, the trash truck staff members, employees will actually go to the location at the side of your house of your waste containers. 1573 02:27:36,350 --> 02:27:43,210 and transport them out for you so you don't have to do it and then bring them back when they're unloaded. 1574 02:27:43,530 --> 02:27:50,210 But that's a simple way of saying it and if you want to elaborate briefly on that you may sit your name and address for the record please. 1575 02:27:50,870 --> 02:27:58,430 Sure. My name is Janine Hamner. I work for Waste Management. We have an office here in Carson down over on 213 Street. 1576 02:27:59,450 --> 02:28:21,750 And the way that the program works, anybody who gets in touch with our office, just let them know that you're disabled and then one of our team will come out and meet with you so that we can talk with you about where your containers are and where they need to, you know, how we're going to go get them work with your code enforcement staff so that there's no lines that are crossed on that front. 1577 02:28:21,750 --> 02:28:29,730 And so then we'll come to your property and remove the container and service it and bring it back for no additional charge 1578 02:28:29,730 --> 02:28:34,030 It's something that we're really happy to do for the seniors and disabled folks 1579 02:28:34,770 --> 02:28:40,630 in town and I appreciate you letting me make sure that people are aware of this program 1580 02:28:42,110 --> 02:28:47,090 Since you're here, let's see if there's any questions that's recognized councilwoman Davis home first 1581 02:28:47,090 --> 02:28:51,490 Well first of all, I want to say thank you and I wanted to pull because we are city in 1582 02:28:52,530 --> 02:28:56,690 aging, and we do have a lot of seniors, and they need to know that the services are available 1583 02:28:56,690 --> 02:28:57,630 for them. 1584 02:28:57,870 --> 02:29:02,550 My other question to the staff and to you also, what are the other perks in the contract 1585 02:29:02,550 --> 02:29:05,550 that we need to pull out and make aware of? 1586 02:29:05,650 --> 02:29:09,650 I know we have things for the mobile home for us, but I'd like to kind of revisit that to see 1587 02:29:09,650 --> 02:29:13,890 if there's more perks in there that we need to make our residents aware of. 1588 02:29:14,070 --> 02:29:17,930 There are more perks if that's where we're going to use for. 1589 02:29:17,930 --> 02:29:25,430 For instance, the bulk item pickup, you do that twice a year, and for free, or a Carson Residence. 1590 02:29:26,210 --> 02:29:33,990 Yeah, and all residents need to do is give us a call and let us know we're happy to come out and pick up any unwanted items that residents have. 1591 02:29:34,770 --> 02:29:43,390 We this last year at the request of council did a citywide cleanup, and if that is the continuing will of the council, we're happy to do that. 1592 02:29:44,450 --> 02:29:59,830 You know, there are a lot of things in the contract, and maybe what I should do is go through and sort of call out all those different items that I can just prepare a memorandum for council and come and do a little presentation on all the things that are in the contracts that residents know. 1593 02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:29,980 All the different services that they can make themselves. I think I've been asking because I know about the boat pickup, but it's always nice to remind our residents of these items are made available to them through waste management, because even though I've looked at that, I just didn't know that it didn't register by the disabled and nice to be seniors pulling their big trash can out. And that's why I wanted to hear a verbal report. So could you please summarize it for us? And then we will have you come 1594 02:30:29,980 --> 02:30:33,820 back and I'll leave the date and do a presentation. Great. I would be happy to do that for you. 1595 02:30:33,980 --> 02:30:37,140 Mr. San Francisco. I saw him right a note. 1596 02:30:40,540 --> 02:30:41,460 Great.

It's an ice ore. 1602 02:31:23,050 --> 02:31:30,830 I believe that was placed there could be in the late 80s or early 90s. 1603 02:31:30,830 --> 02:31:37,730 Okay. So there's a request to you.

I'm going to take the frog out of the chair and bring up item 21. 1613 02:31:58,250 --> 02:32:00,690 I do have a request with that. 1614 02:32:00,730 --> 02:32:05,110 I don't know 21 is consideration of parking issues at the Kia dealership and adopting 1615 02:32:05,110 --> 02:32:13,390 resolution number of 15 to 904 establishing preferential permit parking zone D and regulating 1616 02:32:13,390 --> 02:32:20,550 parking within the zone, like to have a staff report please Mr. City Manager or your staff 1617 02:32:20,550 --> 02:32:26,370 Mr. Guard, whatever, choose. Hello. Hello. 1618 02:32:27,350 --> 02:32:42,030 At the, the previous meeting on January 20th, the City Council considered a resolution to provide a permit parking program in the residential neighborhood that's near a Kia, as was discussed earlier by several people. 1619 02:32:43,470 --> 02:33:02,730 After hearing testimony, the City Council continued the item to tonight's meeting and directed staff to coordinate with the Car Pro's Kia representatives to seek alternative solutions in addition to or in place of the permit parking program. 1620 02:33:02,730 --> 02:33:09,070 City staff did meet with the key representatives and an attempt to resolve some of these issues. 1621 02:33:10,790 --> 02:33:16,790 As a result of those discussions, the key dealership has agreed to take several actions. 1622 02:33:17,050 --> 02:33:26,550 They agreed to pay the cost of the permit parking program if that program is in fact established by City Council. 1623 02:33:27,470 --> 02:33:32,610 They also agreed to negotiate with the city to lease some parking spaces in the Civics 1624 02:33:32,610 --> 02:33:40,170 Center lot, which was also discussed earlier, and they will aggressively educate their employees 1625 02:33:40,170 --> 02:33:47,530 to encourage them to park in these offsite places other than the residential streets. 1626 02:33:48,510 --> 02:33:54,390 So as a result of all of that, the new recommendation, which is it embellished from the one 1627 02:33:54,390 --> 02:34:00,190 from two weeks ago, is to adopt resolution number 15, 1628 02:34:00,650 --> 02:34:04,450 DASA-004, which is to establish the preferential 1629 02:34:04,450 --> 02:34:07,050 permit parking program on those streets that are listed 1630 02:34:07,050 --> 02:34:10,990 in the ordinance. Number two of the recommendation will 1631 02:34:10,990 --> 02:34:13,730 be to authorize the city manager to formulate an agreement 1632 02:34:14,210 --> 02:34:17,290 with the key of dealership that would require 1633 02:34:18,110 --> 02:34:21,910 car pros, key to pay the costs for the residential 1634 02:34:21,910 --> 02:34:29,310 apartment parking program, so that it would be free to the residents. And the third component 1635 02:34:29,310 --> 02:34:34,490 of the recommendation is to authorize the city manager to enter into a lease agreement with 1636 02:34:34,490 --> 02:34:41,490 Car Proske to lease up to 50 parking spaces in that number is negotiable in the city's parking lot 1637 02:34:41,490 --> 02:34:51,290 to be used for employee parking. Between the current, between when that agreement is completed until 1638 02:34:51,290 --> 02:34:59,690 such time that the key dealership moves to their new location on a recreation road and that concludes. 1639 02:35:01,390 --> 02:35:05,510 Very good. Mr. Garland through the city manager. 1640 02:35:09,530 --> 02:35:23,330 There's a question about enforcement and I wish you would elaborate on that a little bit because the employees of Kia will not be given a permit to park in this zone D, correct? 1641 02:35:23,870 --> 02:35:31,530 Correct. And what if they do? What if they interfere with our residents, you know, quality of life by over parking? 1642 02:35:31,530 --> 02:35:38,810 Well, what happens? The way that the permit parking program is set up in the resolution is that 1643 02:35:38,810 --> 02:35:43,670 those streets that are included in the zone would have a two-hour parking restriction. 1644 02:35:44,610 --> 02:35:47,850 If anybody parks more than two hours, then they're subject to a ticket. 1645 02:35:49,290 --> 02:35:56,390 So if a Kia employee parks all day and the parking enforcement sights that car, they can get a ticket. 1646 02:35:56,390 --> 02:36:18,750 Okay, so it's your understanding from management at the Kia dealership that they're going to instruct all their employees that if they don't park on their on site, because I know the female employees are asked, they told me this, and the female employees are asked to speak to park on site, actually on the dealership is properly. 1647 02:36:20,810 --> 02:36:27,050 But the employees that we're talking about that are infringing now on the rights of the residents, 1648 02:36:27,850 --> 02:36:34,810 they're going to be very clearly instructed not to park in that area, but to utilize the other parking areas that are available, 1649 02:36:35,030 --> 02:36:36,810 that doesn't infringe on the rights of their residents. 1650 02:36:37,030 --> 02:36:37,550 Is that correct? 1651 02:36:37,550 --> 02:36:38,570 That is correct. 1652 02:36:40,610 --> 02:36:44,030 I wanted that really clear, and I'm going to now recognize Mayor Portem, Santorina. 1653 02:36:44,390 --> 02:36:45,610 Thank you very much, Mr. Stemmaier. 1654 02:36:45,610 --> 02:36:47,570 Let me just, 1655 02:36:51,000 --> 02:37:01,800 I heard you said correct me if I'm wrong, that there's a 2 hour, 2 hour permissible 1656 02:37:01,800 --> 02:37:12,220 time for the clear employees to park, right? And then you said that okay well there's a citation 1657 02:37:12,220 --> 02:37:20,420 that will be issued if they part all day.

I have to circle around 1707 02:41:58,470 --> 02:42:00,610 find me a parking lot of wherever. 1708 02:42:01,050 --> 02:42:06,050 And and to support there's a specific time frame that says there is not a two hour doesn't 1709 02:42:06,050 --> 02:42:07,970 say you can right here in the city of Carson. 1710 02:42:08,510 --> 02:42:14,430 It doesn't say you can park there for two hours and say there is no parking unless you have 1711 02:42:14,430 --> 02:42:15,210 a permit. 1712 02:42:15,790 --> 02:42:16,590 What happened? 1713 02:42:16,890 --> 02:42:21,730 If it works, it's Anderson, even though they may not enforce it, it's not a two hour window. 1714 02:42:23,210 --> 02:42:27,010 You cannot park here unless you have a permit. 1715 02:42:27,010 --> 02:42:28,790 That's what it says. 1716 02:42:29,570 --> 02:42:31,850 We implemented that, the city of Carson. 1717 02:42:32,590 --> 02:42:34,170 Ingle it, they have it. 1718 02:42:34,850 --> 02:42:38,610 Businesses are operating, we don't park unless you're resident or whatever. 1719 02:42:39,850 --> 02:42:42,010 Then my other concern is the word, 1720 02:42:43,510 --> 02:42:44,470 in-terrish. 1721 02:42:46,530 --> 02:42:47,950 The word says, 1722 02:42:48,050 --> 02:42:49,230 encourage them. 1723 02:42:49,570 --> 02:42:51,210 Why not direct them? 1724 02:42:52,630 --> 02:42:53,690 Encourage me now. 1725 02:42:53,870 --> 02:42:54,950 I can do it if I want to. 1726 02:42:55,070 --> 02:42:56,030 I can do it if I don't have to. 1727 02:42:56,030 --> 02:43:04,130 Why isn't that we don't say you will direct your staff to park in the community center and if you don't there would be some some kind of stipulation 1728 02:43:06,240 --> 02:43:13,540 All right, and that's for your please add to the question of the council woman and answer to the first question about why do we have two hour parking there 1729 02:43:13,540 --> 02:43:18,120 Accept by permit as opposed to no parking whatsoever. Then this is ours 1730 02:43:19,240 --> 02:43:25,020 We could do it either way the city has the authority to do it to make it no parking unless you have a permit or 1731 02:43:25,020 --> 02:43:32,520 Just explain the rationale, but the reason we have it the way it is is because that's what the residents requested in their permit 1732 02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:35,580 So we were responding to what the residents wanted 1733 02:43:36,540 --> 02:43:40,680 Okay, now actually that's a good answer and it's clear in concise 1734 02:43:42,620 --> 02:43:51,760 The mayor for a tremendous of four the councilwoman is asking a question for him to include in his motion 1735 02:43:53,220 --> 02:43:59,040 that we have once we implement whatever we're going to be doing, that we get this body 1736 02:43:59,040 --> 02:44:04,880 a weekly report back on the progress so that we're not having to come be a member or whatever 1737 02:44:04,880 --> 02:44:10,300 waiting two weeks until we lose a council meeting so we will know if whatever plan of action 1738 02:44:10,300 --> 02:44:14,960 we implement, it's either working or it's not, we need to go back to this drawing board by 1739 02:44:14,960 --> 02:44:20,760 the next meeting next two weeks because we meet the first and third. So we're made a 1740 02:44:20,760 --> 02:44:25,540 aware of something that's not working a plan of action could be put in place but I think 1741 02:44:25,540 --> 02:44:32,420 we need to be made kept on board up to date as much as possible. But I do this the encouraged 1742 02:44:32,420 --> 02:44:39,860 just while it's made. The two hour point. The two hour point. Okay, now I like to come 1743 02:44:40,580 --> 02:44:46,200 If I have permission from the mayor program because mayor program is the only one that has a floor right now, can I ask you a question? 1744 02:44:46,680 --> 02:44:51,860 I'm the same, you know, they're all in the same line of thought there. 1745 02:44:53,300 --> 02:44:59,960 The reason you have a two hour time limit is if they have guests or visitors come in and visit. 1746 02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:14,460 They could get a parking permit in their window of the car. But the two hour limit gives them time to, like, for a visitor to come and visit with them for 20 minutes and leave without having to get the permit set up and all. Is that the rationale? 1747 02:45:14,720 --> 02:45:25,640 That's the rationale, as well as maintenance people, people working on the yards, silly person, a gardener or something like that. Correct. I see who wouldn't necessarily have a permit. 1748 02:45:25,640 --> 02:45:27,800 But we'd have business on the street. 1749 02:45:28,400 --> 02:45:29,460 Okay, that makes sense. 1750 02:45:29,720 --> 02:45:31,580 And then, you know, this is a living document. 1751 02:45:31,700 --> 02:45:33,920 If it doesn't work for the residents in this manner, 1752 02:45:34,600 --> 02:45:35,820 the residents will let us know. 1753 02:45:36,240 --> 02:45:37,640 And we will respond immediately. 1754 02:45:38,160 --> 02:45:39,660 And we will adjust it. 1755 02:45:39,700 --> 02:45:40,780 So it works for the residents. 1756 02:45:40,960 --> 02:45:42,300 Because that's what it's all about. 1757 02:45:42,600 --> 02:45:45,280 The reason we have a city is to serve the residents. 1758 02:45:47,940 --> 02:45:49,220 Councilwoman, any other questions? 1759 02:45:49,600 --> 02:45:50,760 We'll go to the mayor for ten. 1760 02:45:50,780 --> 02:45:52,200 I would like the mayor for ten. 1761 02:45:52,320 --> 02:45:54,140 The call of the young lady that's running leak. 1762 02:45:54,140 --> 02:45:55,780 because I want to hear it is this. 1763 02:45:56,060 --> 02:45:56,960 I want to hear it is this. 1764 02:45:57,260 --> 02:46:00,140 Thank you. 1765 02:46:01,500 --> 02:46:01,720 Okay. 1766 02:46:02,740 --> 02:46:02,980 Okay. 1767 02:46:03,140 --> 02:46:06,480 So we're going to ask you if you have a chance to look at the proposal. 1768 02:46:07,220 --> 02:46:09,120 And if it meets your person. 1769 02:46:09,580 --> 02:46:11,200 I don't know, you're speaking for yourself, I understand. 1770 02:46:12,660 --> 02:46:14,720 But it meets your satisfaction at this point. 1771 02:46:14,940 --> 02:46:19,320 And knowing that we could improve it or change it or strengthen it if necessary. 1772 02:46:19,780 --> 02:46:19,980 Yes. 1773 02:46:20,120 --> 02:46:23,700 Well, we, the community, we really like how the proposal is right now. 1774 02:46:23,700 --> 02:46:28,520 and we really like the two hour block like Mr. Garland said it gives us enough time if 1775 02:46:28,520 --> 02:46:33,020 our family or friends want to stop by for 20 or 30 minutes they don't have to run to their 1776 02:46:33,020 --> 02:46:41,160 car and give them a parking permit parking pass so we really do like the proposal and we don't 1777 02:46:41,160 --> 02:46:45,400 I personally don't in the community doesn't have any problems with it right now and if we do have 1778 02:46:45,400 --> 02:46:51,120 problems we will definitely come back and let you guys know.

Okay 1781 02:47:03,560 --> 02:47:05,860 But before I do this 1782 02:47:06,780 --> 02:47:11,380 Correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm hearing something different from what Mr. Young 1783 02:47:11,380 --> 02:47:13,980 has reported here to us 1784 02:47:13,980 --> 02:47:15,900 you know, it's quite 1785 02:47:16,620 --> 02:47:19,780 That's why I's zeroing in on the two hour 1786 02:47:22,780 --> 02:47:23,840 item there, 1787 02:47:27,270 --> 02:47:34,910 it's not acceptable to him, but anyway, my recommendation is wait for the reading, 1788 02:47:35,430 --> 02:47:41,490 motion is wait for the reading and adopt resolution number 15, that's 004, a resolution 1789 02:47:41,490 --> 02:47:45,950 of the city council of the city of Carson, California, establishing preferential parking 1790 02:47:45,950 --> 02:47:52,670 zone D and regulating parking within the zone. Authorised sedimentator to formulate an agreement 1791 02:47:52,670 --> 02:48:00,050 with the Kia dealership that would require Cal Bros Kia to pay for the initial costs of the 1792 02:48:00,050 --> 02:48:06,850 residential permit parking program. And that is $25 per household fees for additional vehicles 1793 02:48:06,850 --> 02:48:12,230 and guest permits would be waived. Authorised the city manager to enter into a lease agreement 1794 02:48:12,230 --> 02:48:23,490 With car proskea to lease up to 50 parking spaces in the city's parking lot to be used for employee parking for the remainder of 2015 or until the new Kia site 1795 02:48:23,790 --> 02:48:26,370 on recreation road is occupied. 1796 02:48:26,530 --> 02:48:27,590 Is there a second? 1797 02:48:27,770 --> 02:48:28,670 Wait, Mr. Mayor? 1798 02:48:29,270 --> 02:48:29,290 Yes. 1799 02:48:29,830 --> 02:48:40,230 And I had something under item two and three words as authorizes the manager to formulate an agreement with the Kia dealership and authorizes the same manager to enter until the agreement with car proskea. 1800 02:48:40,230 --> 02:48:44,750 Can we add subjects to the city attorneys approval to both of them? 1801 02:48:45,050 --> 02:48:45,090 Yes. 1802 02:48:45,310 --> 02:48:46,090 If that's all right. 1803 02:48:46,210 --> 02:48:49,150 Or subject to city attorneys. 1804 02:48:49,330 --> 02:48:49,830 It will. 1805 02:48:50,430 --> 02:48:50,830 On both. 1806 02:48:51,310 --> 02:48:52,370 Two and three. 1807 02:48:53,550 --> 02:48:54,310 So two and three. 1808 02:48:54,410 --> 02:48:56,170 Something to the city attorneys. 1809 02:48:56,230 --> 02:48:57,030 Sort of options. 1810 02:48:59,490 --> 02:49:01,390 And also very important. 1811 02:49:01,570 --> 02:49:04,490 Give us a progressive report of how these things are being implemented. 1812 02:49:05,230 --> 02:49:07,410 This success or failure of this program. 1813 02:49:07,410 --> 02:49:13,450 And number, can I hand it, will it be contrary to any of these? 1814 02:49:14,030 --> 02:49:18,510 Do away with the two hour, it's going to be the city. 1815 02:49:19,150 --> 02:49:19,910 She wants? 1816 02:49:20,010 --> 02:49:26,550 I know, but I'm hearing loud and clear, Mr. Young, we respect to that. 1817 02:49:26,590 --> 02:49:33,630 I don't know, maybe there's something that they need to work on, it's just like giving 1818 02:49:33,630 --> 02:49:39,290 back to you, the spaces in front of those people, those residents, you know, on 2013 and 1819 02:49:39,290 --> 02:49:42,170 on all of those streets, freeze, and some other streets. 1820 02:49:42,510 --> 02:49:47,850 It's just like, okay, okay, you know, in order for us to do this properly and legally, you have 1821 02:49:47,850 --> 02:49:48,570 to make the motion. 1822 02:49:48,770 --> 02:49:50,730 The motion is made, is there a second? 1823 02:49:55,970 --> 02:49:56,070 Second? 1824 02:49:56,070 --> 02:49:56,230 Second? 1825 02:49:56,230 --> 02:49:59,990 discussion in the motion. I'm sorry to ask you to get up and down, but... 1826 02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:09,400 Please cover. Okay. One of your neighbors seem to be quite unhappy, and he was not satisfied with this proposal. 1827 02:50:09,780 --> 02:50:11,740 Are you in communication with him? We're not necessarily. 1828 02:50:11,960 --> 02:50:15,320 I can speak with him. Is he still here? 1829 02:50:15,340 --> 02:50:15,560 Is he still here? 1830 02:50:15,560 --> 02:50:15,920 Is he still here? 1831 02:50:16,080 --> 02:50:16,260 Is he still here? 1832 02:50:17,080 --> 02:50:21,520 Okay. Like I said, this can be opportunity. 1833 02:50:21,800 --> 02:50:28,620 So we can try it out and see how it is. And then if the residents still feel that the residents feel 1834 02:50:28,620 --> 02:50:33,880 they were rather had to our parking than if it's not going to be a problem then we can go back to 1835 02:50:33,880 --> 02:50:38,640 to our parking. You go to one hour, you can go to, you know, we can change this area with flexible 1836 02:50:38,640 --> 02:50:46,640 yes. So we can try out the, um, the, no parking and if it, if it doesn't work then we can go to one hour 1837 02:50:46,640 --> 02:50:52,760 to two hours. So we're, you know, I feel that the community is flexible right now, um, in the proposal 1838 02:50:52,760 --> 02:50:57,840 it did say two hours and a lot of the residents did agree with it. And there was some that said, 1839 02:50:57,960 --> 02:51:03,560 well, no, it should be, you know, no parking at all. So it was kind of like half and half. So if we, 1840 02:51:03,800 --> 02:51:08,200 we, I don't think community will mind if we did, no parking and then we can come back and change it. 1841 02:51:08,260 --> 02:51:10,700 Okay, let's go with, thank you. Remember, let's just go to the mayor approach. 1842 02:51:10,720 --> 02:51:16,180 But we do have signature saying that we have more than 60% of the community saying that the 1843 02:51:16,180 --> 02:51:22,740 two-hour parking was fine. So okay. So maybe we can do it with the opposite. We can try 1844 02:51:22,740 --> 02:51:26,560 the two hour and if it doesn't work we can come back. Thank you. That's just wait for the 1845 02:51:26,560 --> 02:51:31,040 progress report. Thank you and I will come back to let you guys know also how it's gone. 1846 02:51:31,140 --> 02:51:42,420 May I cordially not encourage you but okay, encourage you to please get in touch with Mr. Young 1847 02:51:42,980 --> 02:51:50,360 because he seems to also have some following and you know some people listen to him and work with him 1848 02:51:50,360 --> 02:51:56,800 And also I can work with you too because that's my street. I mean quite far from you because I live in Catskill 1849 02:51:56,800 --> 02:51:58,500 But that's 1850 02:51:58,500 --> 02:52:04,360 Yes, I was definitely getting on the street.

In other words, there's going to be definite enhancement or increase of hours in terms 1888 02:55:18,840 --> 02:55:27,500 of patrolling programs of neighborhoods in the city of Carson. That's why I demanded that this 1889 02:55:27,500 --> 02:55:36,820 going to be revisited. Number two, and that there has to have some significant change in terms 1890 02:55:36,820 --> 02:55:45,940 of the deputies answering the citizens' phone calls and complaints in a more human and 1891 02:55:45,940 --> 02:55:53,060 professional courtesy must be accorded to the citizens. The practice, so that definitely has 1892 02:55:53,060 --> 02:56:03,000 to be revisited again, you know, and then also revisit the response time, as I said earlier, 1893 02:56:03,560 --> 02:56:14,780 the citizens' complaints at different levels in terms of what kind of crime, 1894 02:56:14,780 --> 02:56:25,900 alleged crime is committed, response time must be really revisited and improved because we 1895 02:56:25,900 --> 02:56:33,320 want to make sure that the complaint of the citizens will be addressed, say, well I 1896 02:56:33,320 --> 02:56:41,920 called like three hours ago and there was no, you know, response from our 1897 02:56:41,920 --> 02:56:48,340 deputies. They haven't arrived in five hours and I call it like five hours ago. So things like that, 1898 02:56:48,520 --> 02:56:55,600 there has to have an improvement in the response time of our sheriff whenever our citizens need 1899 02:56:55,600 --> 02:57:06,020 some help or questions. Then number four, increase also and Captain really gave me an assurance 1900 02:57:06,020 --> 02:57:14,640 that this is going to be looked at. Increase increase the community night out from once a year 1901 02:57:14,640 --> 02:57:22,340 to why at least twice a year or more. He has some ideas on how to improve this community 1902 02:57:22,340 --> 02:57:28,360 night out because we do it once a year and when community night out is done this year let's say 1903 02:57:28,360 --> 02:57:34,230 before you know it is already forgotten that you know this community night out that we do on 1904 02:57:34,230 --> 02:57:43,330 Carson Street and you know we just walked around there and I mean and then number 5 other 1905 02:57:43,330 --> 02:57:50,610 suggestion that I have is the Carson Serif Station to collaborate with different community 1906 02:57:50,610 --> 02:57:58,850 organizations and associations by communicating with officers and members of different organizations 1907 02:57:58,850 --> 02:58:07,530 Let's say one organization, the Latino group association, collaborating with our neighborhood 1908 02:58:07,530 --> 02:58:14,510 council in the north and being, you know, there will be community forums that should 1909 02:58:14,510 --> 02:58:26,310 really take place.

Last March we held this symposium and then happened to be a sponsor by the city. For 1983 03:04:29,440 --> 03:04:33,600 Our vision on how that city could go 100% renewable powered in 10 years. 1984 03:04:34,020 --> 03:04:38,840 We brought it a number of experts from around the country in the state to offer some alternatives 1985 03:04:38,840 --> 03:04:40,220 of how they could do that. 1986 03:04:40,480 --> 03:04:45,560 The most intriguing was the folks that came down from Sonoma Clean Power, one of two CCAs 1987 03:04:45,560 --> 03:04:46,680 operating in our state. 1988 03:04:46,840 --> 03:04:48,560 They were just about to launch their program. 1989 03:04:48,780 --> 03:04:51,140 They launched in May of last year. 1990 03:04:52,180 --> 03:04:56,840 Marine Clean Power, which has been an operation since 2010, last year saved their customers 1991 03:04:56,840 --> 03:04:59,660 about $6 million because they charge lower rates. 1992 03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:11,400 Then the investor on utility in their case, PG&E, they offer 50% renewable power as a base to all of their customers as opposed to the 22% to get from the utility. 1993 03:05:12,160 --> 03:05:20,080 And most importantly, the local control here. This is a CCA is a law that passed in our state in 2002. 1994 03:05:20,080 --> 03:05:25,780 The ZAB1117, it allows us to separate the buying of energy from the transmission. 1995 03:05:26,020 --> 03:05:28,920 We will partner with Southern California Edison in this program. 1996 03:05:29,320 --> 03:05:31,120 They will deliver the energy as they have. 1997 03:05:31,240 --> 03:05:31,980 They'll do the transmission. 1998 03:05:31,980 --> 03:05:37,320 They'll keep up the wires, but a representative from Carson and all the other cities will 1999 03:05:37,320 --> 03:05:43,800 be on the nonprofit board of this operation, if we go forward within the feasibility study 2000 03:05:43,800 --> 03:05:48,600 shows us that we should, and then each of this participating cities will make the rules 2001 03:05:48,600 --> 03:05:49,360 for this program. 2002 03:05:49,360 --> 03:05:53,760 and if you decide, you want to incent people for more solar, you're able to do that. 2003 03:05:53,980 --> 03:05:56,420 If you want energy efficiency, you're able to do that. 2004 03:05:56,480 --> 03:05:59,940 Very briefly, we've had two studies done already for free. 2005 03:06:00,600 --> 03:06:05,940 UCLA has done a study for hermosbiche, and USC has done a study for Torrance just last 2006 03:06:05,940 --> 03:06:06,300 month. 2007 03:06:07,120 --> 03:06:15,720 Both of these studies show jobs, local investment, more renewable power, and a very happy control 2008 03:06:15,720 --> 03:06:18,200 from a local standpoint, happy to answer any questions. 2009 03:06:18,200 --> 03:06:24,980 Similarly, you should get a plan for seven cities, Carson would be number six if we approve it tonight, what's the seven city? 2010 03:06:25,200 --> 03:06:29,620 Engelwood, our friends next door, and let me just say that's, that's our core strategy. 2011 03:06:29,920 --> 03:06:33,120 We're actually going after all 15 cities of the South Bay, Cog. 2012 03:06:33,360 --> 03:06:34,000 Like limita? 2013 03:06:34,480 --> 03:06:40,800 limita, lawndale, gargina, Hawthorne, yeah, I'm a South Bay guy. 2014 03:06:40,860 --> 03:06:44,540 I've been here 23 years, I work with the Cog. 2015 03:06:45,060 --> 03:06:52,460 We have talked to the cog about this jacket back record supporting us. We've talked to the folks at the county who we're going to ask for the money to fund this 2016 03:06:53,020 --> 03:06:58,600 I can say without committing them to anything that the county has endorsed and supports our effort 2017 03:06:58,600 --> 03:07:06,420 But it's important to us to have our seven core cities from the south bay form this and be the ones that make the rules for this 2018 03:07:06,420 --> 03:07:11,680 And why seven cities and why you are city because of the combined seven cities that we've put together in this plan 2019 03:07:11,680 --> 03:07:17,660 exceed the power and the number of people in both of the existing programs. So with just those seven cities will be larger. 2020 03:07:18,100 --> 03:07:21,960 When we get all 15 cities, we'll be twice maybe three times as large. 2021 03:07:22,380 --> 03:07:29,000 And don't be surprised if the county would like to expand this program to all cities that are served by Southern California medicine. 2022 03:07:29,400 --> 03:07:36,420 If that happens, then those cities will join a program that was founded and started here in Carson with there are other six cities. 2023 03:07:36,820 --> 03:07:38,760 I see two of you are one of the charter members. 2024 03:07:38,760 --> 03:07:39,360 So exactly. 2025 03:07:39,860 --> 03:07:41,200 Okay, the next question, 2026 03:07:43,780 --> 03:07:47,840 the idea is to create renewable energy. 2027 03:07:49,100 --> 03:07:54,300 What about a public utility that's owned by a municipality? 2028 03:07:55,560 --> 03:08:00,380 For instance, we have delved into this issue of renewable energy. 2029 03:08:00,880 --> 03:08:07,640 We have solar panels up, we're looking at electric vehicles and charging stations and so forth. 2030 03:08:08,600 --> 03:08:11,560 We also have power generators in Carson. 2031 03:08:12,680 --> 03:08:16,480 We have the water pollution control plant generates 25 megawatts. 2032 03:08:17,320 --> 03:08:23,620 We have the Watson Co-Generating Facility, part of the tutorial, formerly VP facility, 2033 03:08:26,120 --> 03:08:27,720 450 megawatts. 2034 03:08:28,080 --> 03:08:30,580 They only use about 50 for themselves. 2035 03:08:30,860 --> 03:08:33,860 The other 400 is available to sell back to Edison. 2036 03:08:33,860 --> 03:08:42,360 It's enough to power probably a half a million population city. 2037 03:08:42,480 --> 03:08:45,580 It could power the entire city of Long Beach, for instance, mm-hmm. 2038 03:08:46,460 --> 03:08:50,240 Then in addition to that co-generating facility, we also have the 2039 03:08:50,240 --> 03:08:53,620 Conical Phillips co-generating facility. 2040 03:08:54,140 --> 03:08:59,260 I think they're 150, 200 megawatts, I'm not sure the exact figure there. 2041 03:08:59,260 --> 03:09:09,880 And by coincidence, we also have a plant power plant in Carson that's built by General Electric. 2042 03:09:10,440 --> 03:09:22,000 Now it's privately owned by the gentleman from Chicago, and he has a jet engine installed in a building powered by natural gas. 2043 03:09:22,920 --> 03:09:31,500 It turns a turbine to generate electricity, it produces so much excess heat that that heat 2044 03:09:31,500 --> 03:09:41,420 is used to turn another turbine steam energy to create more power they generate 50 megawatts. 2045 03:09:42,060 --> 03:09:45,960 He is now applying for a license to double it to 100 megawatts. 2046 03:09:45,960 --> 03:09:54,260 You take all these generated facilities together, combined with conservation and renewable energy sources, 2047 03:09:54,920 --> 03:09:59,660 we can be energy independent. What is the medicine company going to do? 2048 03:10:00,270 --> 03:10:07,410 When we, you know, come forward with such a, uh, a program. Well, I certainly appreciate your opinion. 2049 03:10:07,570 --> 03:10:14,270 I'm always asking, okay, you're sure. You don't work for medicine. Well, for one thing, I think what you're talking about is some of the elements that form, I mean, 2050 03:10:14,390 --> 03:10:20,370 municipal utility district, like we've got in Los Angeles with the DWP and Pasadena has their own in Glendale has their own. 2051 03:10:20,390 --> 03:10:24,590 The bugaboo about that is the transmission and the wires and the lines. 2052 03:10:25,410 --> 03:10:37,770 Give you a good example, bolder Colorado would like to get rid of their investor-owned utility that serves them, it's a company called Excel, and they've gone back and forth, they want to form a municipal utility district. 2053 03:10:38,370 --> 03:10:54,550 What they've done, and we'll see how that works, is they have condemned all of Excel's infrastructure, all of the polls, all the wires, said that they're too old, they're ancient, and they've made a very low-ball bid for what that's worth about one-fifth of what the utility thinks it's worth. 2054 03:10:55,170 --> 03:11:00,470 very difficult to form a municipal utility district. In a perfect world, we would try to do that in South Bay. 2055 03:11:00,990 --> 03:11:07,590 Because as you say, there are a number of generating capabilities that we have here. I'll add one more for you. 2056 03:11:08,030 --> 03:11:13,410 In the USC study that was done for Torrance, they identified 84 brownfield sites within the city. 2057 03:11:13,930 --> 03:11:23,910 Those sites aren't good for much of anything except solar power generation. In Torrance, they're 84 brownfield sites have a potential for 544 megawatts of solar. 2058 03:11:23,910 --> 03:11:31,370 That would be locally grown local investors getting the money for that for the long-term contract and that money staying in our community 2059 03:11:31,370 --> 03:11:38,650 And that's the key to this whole program a non-profit that takes the profit that Edison sends to their shareholders and pays 2060 03:11:38,650 --> 03:11:44,950 To their well-paid executives and puts that back into the program and puts it back in those community very good 2061 03:11:44,950 --> 03:11:49,290 I feel the last comment is that I'm a member of the college, I actually represent the city 2062 03:11:49,290 --> 03:11:53,850 of course, and after self-acities, Council of Governments, and we have discussed this issue 2063 03:11:53,850 --> 03:11:57,130 so I'm quite familiar with it, and I'm very supportive of it. 2064 03:11:57,450 --> 03:11:57,890 Thank you. 2065 03:11:58,110 --> 03:12:01,250 Let's go to Mayor Pertem in Councilman, Centurina. 2066 03:12:01,990 --> 03:12:02,810 Thank you very much. 2067 03:12:02,810 --> 03:12:09,430 Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor, and I heard that you definitely heard, but you just said, 2068 03:12:09,430 --> 03:12:17,790 But I just want to echo some of the things that I really would like to say you now. 2069 03:12:18,090 --> 03:12:21,870 I am definitely committed to investigating and implementing 2070 03:12:25,140 --> 03:12:31,260 Fiscally responsible projects, which improved our facilities and lower our costs. 2071 03:12:32,180 --> 03:12:39,040 So programs such as the Energy Leader Partnership Program with Southern California Addison. 2072 03:12:39,040 --> 03:12:45,540 And the comprehensive energy efficiency and renewable energy program currently under development 2073 03:12:45,540 --> 03:12:53,080 with uptera energy services are examples where we lead by example. 2074 03:12:54,180 --> 03:12:57,620 I have some questions and let me see if you. 2075 03:12:58,580 --> 03:13:05,040 I heard part of it that some of the have been answered, but there's no harm in, 2076 03:13:05,040 --> 03:13:20,140 I mean, to be repetitive at this time, and this city manager, I would like to really know what are our obligations under the PCability study, 2077 03:13:23,400 --> 03:13:28,160 according to, is it no obligations at all? 2078 03:13:28,160 --> 03:13:39,720 my understanding is that if we were to enter into this passes resolution, we would have no fiscal impact. 2079 03:13:40,640 --> 03:13:48,360 And the organization is out looking for funds to do the feasibility study and that would not be an obligation of the city. 2080 03:13:48,520 --> 03:13:50,740 It would be an obligation of the proponent. 2081 03:13:51,480 --> 03:14:00,120 Okay, thank you, and probably the gentleman can answer this, and can you just repeat what will the study really show us? 2082 03:14:00,620 --> 03:14:07,860 Yeah, the study will basically show you whether or not you can do what Marin County has done with their Marin Clean Energy program, 2083 03:14:07,860 --> 03:14:17,060 and that is, offer every resident in your city and every business, a lower rate than Southern California Edison charges for that lower rate, 2084 03:14:17,060 --> 03:14:24,080 give them twice the amount of renewable energy, allow you to have a representative for the city 2085 03:14:24,080 --> 03:14:28,040 to make the rules of this. Right now that's something you don't have with that as in an 2086 03:14:28,040 --> 03:14:35,480 anyway shape or form. It'll also allow you to partner with all yourself bay neighbors, forming, 2087 03:14:35,800 --> 03:14:40,380 that's what the aggregation part here. And cities do this all the time for supplies where you pull 2088 03:14:40,380 --> 03:14:46,300 together to have great buying power, the power of 15 cities buying instead of one. That's what this 2089 03:14:46,300 --> 03:14:52,980 all about. And I encourage you to, you know, the city of Richmond up north in the Oakland 2090 03:14:52,980 --> 03:14:57,360 area, opt it into the program that Marin Clean Energy has, and that's kind of the proof 2091 03:14:57,360 --> 03:14:59,840 of the pudding of these two programs up north. 2092 03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:10,180 The founding cities, like we're asking you to be, started the program, but both programs up north have had a number of other cities opt into their program after they saw how well it was working. 2093 03:15:10,720 --> 03:15:21,920 And in the case of Richmond, if you take a look at their population, and you take a look at the mix of industrial and residential and commercial they have, it's a fair comparison with the city of Carson. 2094 03:15:21,920 --> 03:15:31,220 And I would encourage you to talk to anyone at the city of Richmond in terms of their city manager, council members, to see how it's working for them. 2095 03:15:31,560 --> 03:15:40,400 But we do know that that program is created 24 to 24 hundred new jobs and is funding new renewable energy up and down their area. 2096 03:15:51,380 --> 03:15:51,900 Okay. 2097 03:15:51,900 --> 03:15:58,420 your other energy savings projects and will add new energy saving projects, including energy 2098 03:15:58,420 --> 03:16:02,920 efficiency and you know the county has a terrific program right now where they'll help fund 2099 03:16:03,460 --> 03:16:08,720 new double-paying windows and insulation and all the low hanging fruit that really helps 2100 03:16:08,720 --> 03:16:14,820 every what that we save is a what we don't have to generate. Those programs are a very big part of this. 2101 03:16:16,380 --> 03:16:20,140 Thank you very much. Thank you sir. The chair recognizes Council Member Robles. 2102 03:16:21,160 --> 03:16:22,420 Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 2103 03:16:23,500 --> 03:16:30,220 You mentioned that UCLA did one study, USC did the other study, I noticed the mayor was 2104 03:16:30,220 --> 03:16:36,540 very thorough in his Q&A, but probably because he knew that the USC study was part of a little 2105 03:16:36,540 --> 03:16:37,400 bit better. 2106 03:16:38,860 --> 03:16:42,280 Oh, you're really going to take me there, are you? 2107 03:16:43,760 --> 03:16:48,380 So, but no, I just wanted to think that Councilwoman for bringing this to our attention. 2108 03:16:49,580 --> 03:16:55,820 And I look forward to you working with our city to improve, thank you so much to our situation. 2109 03:16:56,440 --> 03:16:56,760 Thank you. 2110 03:16:56,920 --> 03:16:59,080 The chair recognizes Councilwoman Davis home. 2111 03:16:59,460 --> 03:17:00,400 Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 2112 03:17:02,060 --> 03:17:03,700 Thank you, Jelph, for coming out. 2113 03:17:03,960 --> 03:17:06,820 John, I've been on the phone talking about this and meeting. 2114 03:17:06,820 --> 03:17:21,120 But what caught my attention was the lowering the race, the renewal, we've had this conversation several times and we've had people come to say it's gone cost us to do an A.B.N.C. 2115 03:17:21,600 --> 03:17:26,920 I'm always looking for the free and it's no cost in the city and the partnership. 2116 03:17:27,580 --> 03:17:33,840 I thought that a good opportunity to do a piece of bill to start and bring all this around in cities and I just feel that the city of course, 2117 03:17:33,840 --> 03:17:39,740 we're always on the cutting edge so we may as well be in partnership with this group. 2118 03:17:40,740 --> 03:17:47,300 So, um, and the jobs, to go through, jobs, jobs, jobs, well, it was looking for jobs. 2119 03:17:47,980 --> 03:17:53,920 So, uh, I was just excited and I'm, um, glad to hear that my colleagues are excited 2120 03:17:53,920 --> 03:17:54,560 about it also. 2121 03:17:54,640 --> 03:18:00,420 I know, the mayor has had, in some form, discussed this, but, feasibility studies means we 2122 03:18:00,420 --> 03:18:01,540 will get all the facts. 2123 03:18:01,540 --> 03:18:07,280 That's, that's what it's all about. You know, I can be up here and tell you how great this program is or how it works up there 2124 03:18:07,280 --> 03:18:12,480 But this feasibility study is going to crunch the numbers. It's going to tell us is the energy out there on the open market 2125 03:18:12,480 --> 03:18:22,020 Can we buy it and offer it at a price that's less is it reliable and and are the jobs and and other things that we talk about in terms of local investment there 2126 03:18:22,020 --> 03:18:26,230 That's what the feasibility study is going to tell us. Okay, and I want to add one thing 2127 03:18:26,940 --> 03:18:30,340 What we love about this program all over the state? 2128 03:18:30,340 --> 03:18:38,100 No tax dollars used when we get the money from the county, which I am hoping to get to pay for this feasibility study 2129 03:18:38,100 --> 03:18:47,080 And there's more money out there to grant money all of that money is reimbursed from the program the minute the program's up and running and that's what we've seen in the other two programs 2130 03:18:47,080 --> 03:18:54,380 So it's not that hard for the county of Los Angeles to say yes to this because they would be made whole immediately upon the program running 2131 03:18:55,700 --> 03:18:58,100 One last thing, I'm sorry, I can't stop. 2132 03:18:58,700 --> 03:19:04,600 We had somebody analyze what the seven cities, yours included, would mean in terms of annual 2133 03:19:04,600 --> 03:19:09,380 revenue from the start, 2.3 billion in annual revenue from the first seven cities. 2134 03:19:10,800 --> 03:19:12,920 Councilwoman, you still have the floor by the question? 2135 03:19:13,760 --> 03:19:17,980 One question I had, didn't you when we did have our discussion, weren't we want to hire you 2136 03:19:17,980 --> 03:19:19,560 in uses for? 2137 03:19:20,040 --> 03:19:20,460 I'm sorry. 2138 03:19:20,460 --> 03:19:24,060 What we wanted the city across one of the higher end users for? 2139 03:19:24,220 --> 03:19:29,580 Yes, and then that's why we're in the seven cities because together with torrents 2140 03:19:29,580 --> 03:19:34,620 and Inglewood and then the smaller beach cities, you equal the power and surpass the power 2141 03:19:34,620 --> 03:19:36,360 of both of the existing programs. 2142 03:19:38,320 --> 03:19:43,800 Well, I would like to wait for the reason about reading and about resolution of a 15L2 through 2143 03:19:43,800 --> 03:19:48,860 a resolution of the city council of the city of Carson, California, or the rise in the 2144 03:19:48,860 --> 03:19:53,860 participation in a feasibility study of a community charge 2145 03:19:53,860 --> 03:19:56,740 irrigation energy program for the city of Carson. 2146 03:19:57,120 --> 03:19:57,800 Is there a second? 2147 03:19:59,480 --> 03:19:59,960 Motion by. 2148 03:20:00,000 --> 03:20:05,880 There is one second by Santa Rita. Okay, on the motion, I have a question. Yes, sir. 2149 03:20:09,250 --> 03:20:12,790 Each city is going to appoint one person at this point? Yes. 2150 03:20:13,450 --> 03:20:19,310 We can do that tonight. No, that's, that's once the program starts.

I'm not taking anything away from anyone else, but I just, and for 2249 03:28:55,410 --> 03:28:59,690 his face, too, is concerned. I think that's something the council needs to decide because this 2250 03:28:59,690 --> 03:29:10,370 been laying around for years and I just want to make sure because I'm a stickler for things 2251 03:29:10,370 --> 03:29:17,130 being dressed right dress.

We're standing 2485 03:51:57,370 --> 03:52:06,350 up for the injustices that minorities and particularly Japanese Americans were being subjected 2486 03:52:06,350 --> 03:52:13,390 to as they were being deprived of their civil rights being deprived of their property and 2487 03:52:13,390 --> 03:52:15,510 central relocation camps. 2488 03:52:18,110 --> 03:52:21,970 And most of that occurred here in the state of California. 2489 03:52:24,970 --> 03:52:34,870 So the mere fact that people are asking who Fred Kormatsu is is the exact reason why we have 2490 03:52:34,870 --> 03:52:39,130 holidays to commemorate Martin Luther King day. 2491 03:52:40,150 --> 03:52:43,490 So people never forget who Martin Luther King is. 2492 03:52:44,270 --> 03:52:49,270 We have holidays to to celebrate the life of Caesar Chavez, 2493 03:52:49,290 --> 03:52:54,650 so people don't forget the struggles that he went through 2494 03:52:54,650 --> 03:52:56,270 and what he fought for. 2495 03:52:56,890 --> 03:53:00,270 And that's what Fred Kurman today would do. 2496 03:53:00,270 --> 03:53:15,670 would remind all of us what he fought for, and the brave action that he took, and standing 2497 03:53:15,670 --> 03:53:25,910 up for what he believed was right, and standing up against an injustice that he saw. 2498 03:53:29,770 --> 03:53:34,050 When Martin Luther King Day was first introduced, 2499 03:53:35,950 --> 03:53:39,330 not every state in the Union followed it, 2500 03:53:39,350 --> 03:53:41,670 not everyone was in favor of it, 2501 03:53:41,850 --> 03:53:46,030 but today it's a federal holiday and every state 2502 03:53:46,510 --> 03:53:50,870 in the United States honors Martin Luther King Day. 2503 03:53:52,770 --> 03:53:57,690 Caesar Chavez Day is recognized in a handful of states 2504 03:53:57,690 --> 03:54:05,230 and is an official holiday in the state of California but it took a number of years after his 2505 03:54:05,230 --> 03:54:12,870 passing for it to eventually become a state holiday and I'm very proud of the fact that 2506 03:54:12,870 --> 03:54:20,070 in my role as a member of the Board Directors of the Water replenishment district, our agency 2507 03:54:20,070 --> 03:54:29,550 was the very first public agency to recognize Caesar Chavez Day. Almost 10 years before 2508 03:54:29,550 --> 03:54:39,690 the state ever did and years before any other public agencies did. Here the city of Carson 2509 03:54:39,690 --> 03:54:53,040 and recognition of its standing as the most diverse city in the United States has the opportunity 2510 03:54:53,940 --> 03:54:59,600 to take a leadership position and be in the very first to recognize. 2511 03:55:00,000 --> 03:55:29,980 Fred Quorumat today, not only as a holiday, but as a paid holiday, and hopefully be the beginning of an effort to eventually bring two recognition to the efforts of Fred Quorumat for what he did, because if we don't remember our history for not mindful of 2512 03:55:29,980 --> 03:55:39,480 the civil rights struggles that came before us were more likely to repeat, make the same mistakes. 2513 03:55:41,580 --> 03:55:49,980 You know, it has been said earlier today and at our last city council meeting that democracy cost money. 2514 03:55:52,420 --> 03:56:00,000 And here in Carson to have an election it cost a quarter of a million dollars, the democracy 2515 03:56:00,000 --> 03:56:01,040 cost money. 2516 03:56:03,670 --> 03:56:07,630 And it's also been said that freedom is not free. 2517 03:56:09,690 --> 03:56:21,290 And as a small price to pay, in my opinion, $170,000 annually to ensure that we don't forget 2518 03:56:21,290 --> 03:56:22,250 the 2519 03:56:25,540 --> 03:56:33,860 injustices that were suffered and we don't forget the heroes of a civil rights movement 2520 03:56:33,860 --> 03:56:43,540 it's a small price to pay. So with that I would move that we authorized the honoring 2521 03:56:43,540 --> 03:56:52,120 of Fred Kuromatsu Day and the great city of Carson on January 30th and appropriate 2522 03:56:52,120 --> 03:57:07,340 170,000 annually and funds to make it a paid holiday and I would further direct Mr. Mayor that we asked a staff to issue a press release and 2523 03:57:09,300 --> 03:57:17,980 Tudy and if you will our own horn that Carson is the very first city as far as I can tell to do to take this action and 2524 03:57:17,980 --> 03:57:25,900 and maybe, just maybe, some other public agencies will also follow. 2525 03:57:26,040 --> 03:57:26,280 Second. 2526 03:57:27,660 --> 03:57:32,500 Okay, a motion by Robert II by Santarina, the chair of our recognizes, very important 2527 03:57:32,500 --> 03:57:33,080 Santarina. 2528 03:57:33,260 --> 03:57:39,900 I just want to remind the honorable council member, Robles, to kind of repeat, I'm trying 2529 03:57:39,900 --> 03:57:46,660 to refresh my memory as to what you said about Fred Kormatsu, when you were a law student, 2530 03:57:46,660 --> 03:58:03,620 And correct me way and wrong, but I believe he visited your class class or campus and that's why you had a first-hand experience with this band. 2531 03:58:03,960 --> 03:58:08,440 Thank you very much and because of all civil rights movement and all of that. 2532 03:58:08,500 --> 03:58:10,020 I just wanted to refresh your memory. 2533 03:58:10,020 --> 03:58:37,260 You know, I was remiss and not the first of all giving credit to Mayor Protem for bringing this item to the city council previously that we honor him and I want to thank him for letting me be the one to make the motion that we do it properly as a paid holiday. 2534 03:58:37,260 --> 03:58:42,300 I was very fortunate and lucky to meet very 2535 03:58:42,300 --> 03:58:44,840 Kurumatsu as a law school student. 2536 03:58:45,220 --> 03:58:53,120 He came to my classroom, and he spoke to us, and he shared with us 2537 03:58:53,120 --> 03:59:03,000 his story of how he was walking to his girlfriend's house in the Bay area. 2538 03:59:03,000 --> 03:59:19,740 And he was arrested for violating presidential executive order demanding that all individuals of Japanese ancestry report to relocation camps. 2539 03:59:19,900 --> 03:59:26,940 He did it because he didn't think that was just, he didn't think that was right. 2540 03:59:26,940 --> 03:59:32,960 And the rest of this says history, unfortunately, 2541 03:59:35,240 --> 03:59:53,160 the Supreme Court got it wrong in his case, and they moved against him, but I think in recognizing, hopefully, my colleague go along, taking this action, or do our small part to correct that injustice today. 2542 03:59:56,160 --> 03:59:59,860 I can count some of you in the fleet too.

I know we're removing this from our ordinance. 2624 04:09:37,300 --> 04:09:38,700 What did you tell me? 2625 04:09:40,280 --> 04:09:44,040 At the last council meeting, when you raised some concerns about this, 2626 04:09:44,040 --> 04:09:47,540 there was a discussion by the City Council that 2627 04:09:47,540 --> 04:09:51,660 directed the City Manager to develop some SMPs and rules 2628 04:09:51,660 --> 04:09:59,960 on how his staff should communicate with the City Council and what actions if 2629 04:10:00,000 --> 04:10:16,060 The city council communicates to them with the report to the city manager, basically to come up with some procedures, and even ask for some examples for the city manager to provide some examples to what we'd be acceptable, council directives, council communications and what we'd be not. 2630 04:10:17,540 --> 04:10:23,400 Earlier, you asked me about it, and Mr. Hernandez, and I believe he hasn't developed those as some keys yet. 2631 04:10:23,400 --> 04:10:30,540 Okay, so what I'm saying right now by removing this we don't have any guidelines, this yes, no 2632 04:10:31,300 --> 04:10:33,320 We're governed by somebody 2633 04:10:33,320 --> 04:10:40,160 Sting law is still in effect and that isn't changed by any actually and and that's what I 2634 04:10:40,880 --> 04:10:45,780 Clare fight last time at the council meeting and in addition to that there isn't I pause 2635 04:10:45,780 --> 04:10:53,040 I'm not entirely sure what your MOU say about all these things, but there might be some rules and regulations in all of those 2636 04:10:53,040 --> 04:10:56,940 to, but I'm not entirely sure about that. 2637 04:10:57,460 --> 04:11:00,780 So at some point in time, because you share with us what state law 2638 04:11:01,860 --> 04:11:04,200 says, should you be to share with me? 2639 04:11:05,240 --> 04:11:15,040 I actually have, so government code sections, 3, 4, 8, 5, 1, 3, 3, 4, 8, 5, 9 have been 2640 04:11:15,040 --> 04:11:20,420 interrupted by numerous courts to basically authorize a city manager to administer the day-to-day 2641 04:11:20,420 --> 04:11:26,840 affairs of the city to deal with hiring and firing employees except for the city attorney and to perform 2642 04:11:26,840 --> 04:11:33,340 such other functions as the council chooses to authorize by ordinance. So that has been interpreted 2643 04:11:33,340 --> 04:11:39,920 to mean that the city manager provides directives to staff. The council sets the policies, 2644 04:11:40,600 --> 04:11:45,860 communicates those policies to the city manager and the city manager conducts the day-to-date business 2645 04:11:45,860 --> 04:11:47,000 of the city. 2646 04:11:50,980 --> 04:11:55,440 Okay, no one else is queue up. Please cast your vote on the second reading. 2647 04:12:02,060 --> 04:12:06,920 It passes unanimously for the zero. We're now going to go to 2648 04:12:09,730 --> 04:12:11,410 a couple of consent items. 2649 04:12:17,260 --> 04:12:18,340 Members right here, 2650 04:12:22,000 --> 04:12:23,400 consent item number nine. 2651 04:12:27,170 --> 04:12:29,970 You'll find number nine located on the page seven. 2652 04:12:31,610 --> 04:12:36,130 This is acknowledged as the public's off-hour access to outdoor park restrooms. 2653 04:12:36,850 --> 04:12:42,250 uh... this was uh... receive a file no action to be taken it was put on by myself 2654 04:12:43,230 --> 04:12:43,830 and 2655 04:12:44,970 --> 04:12:45,570 uh... 2656 04:12:45,570 --> 04:12:48,010 assisted by community services 2657 04:12:49,070 --> 04:12:49,670 so 2658 04:12:49,670 --> 04:12:53,450 this is uh... issue that was brought up to me okay 2659 04:12:53,450 --> 04:12:56,970 brought up to me and uh... by constituents and i 2660 04:12:56,970 --> 04:12:59,610 i think this is a very good clarification let's go to 2661 04:12:59,610 --> 04:13:06,830 uh... first with council member and mayor program center you thank you for 2662 04:13:06,830 --> 04:13:12,390 to say that, yes, thank you for putting this on the agenda, and you use the word that 2663 04:13:12,390 --> 04:13:14,270 I wanted to use, which is for clarification, 2664 04:13:16,530 --> 04:13:22,110 and clarification in terms of access to outdoor 2665 04:13:22,110 --> 04:13:23,030 park restroom. 2666 04:13:24,330 --> 04:13:34,530 And at this time, I just want to relate to you that there was an incident prior to this, 2667 04:13:34,530 --> 04:13:44,050 There was an incident that happened in the Dolphin Park, and we'd respect to using the restroom 2668 04:13:46,070 --> 04:13:56,210 a discussion and happened quite a heated discussion between some citizens who are walking around 2669 04:13:56,210 --> 04:14:05,890 exercising and the maintenance staff, but had it not been for the early intervention or help 2670 04:14:05,890 --> 04:14:16,290 of Mr. Claudio Bovel, one of our staff members, who knows, you know, the situation could 2671 04:14:16,290 --> 04:14:22,350 have been worse. But anyway, he was there, he caught the incident on time, he was able to 2672 04:14:22,350 --> 04:14:29,750 by some senior citizens, both parties, in other words, and the maintenance staff, so everything 2673 04:14:29,750 --> 04:14:41,210 is set and done, and this incident ended happily and now they're friends.

Anyone listening, the Dalvin Park remote restroom will be open tomorrow. 2680 04:15:15,920 --> 04:15:19,740 I've had so many questions about that. So it's finally open. 2681 04:15:19,740 --> 04:15:39,200 Yeah, there's moved around a few times in constructions complete, the folks that came to me were Carson Park, parents and grandparents and so forth and fought knee in their restrooms, and so I think it's a good idea that the staff 2682 04:15:40,700 --> 04:15:48,730 I know there's some signs up, but maybe maybe additional sign or two of my health or some 2683 04:15:48,730 --> 04:15:56,050 verbal explanations that the rest of us can be opened by the staff that's on hand for 2684 04:15:56,050 --> 04:15:56,790 Park Maintenance. 2685 04:15:57,010 --> 04:16:03,730 That's what the sign says and apparently these parents and guardians did not see that signs. 2686 04:16:04,590 --> 04:16:08,690 Maybe we could be brought to their attention by you could even have an employee go there 2687 04:16:08,690 --> 04:16:13,390 during, say, noon to one o'clock when the kindergarten students 2688 04:16:13,390 --> 04:16:17,130 get out and their parents and guardians bring them to the park. 2689 04:16:17,770 --> 04:16:22,650 Maybe we could, on a occasion, send it in for you there to announce it, 2690 04:16:22,690 --> 04:16:25,090 that, you know, this is available if you do need it. 2691 04:16:25,090 --> 04:16:29,750 Just like the sign says, OK, let's go to number 12. 2692 04:16:30,230 --> 04:16:36,270 This is consideration of resolution number 15 to 0 to 0, 2693 04:16:36,270 --> 04:16:43,810 Mending the classification plan, resolution number, 77 dashes, 1-1-1-1, by revising the 2694 04:16:43,810 --> 04:16:49,150 public works programs of administrator classification specification. Now I pulled this 2695 04:16:49,150 --> 04:16:54,610 one off for discussion purposes and 2696 04:16:57,200 --> 04:17:00,180 it was brought by attention by a couple of city employees 2697 04:17:00,180 --> 04:17:06,920 that they felt this was not necessary, so maybe if the city manager or his staff could explain 2698 04:17:06,920 --> 04:17:13,580 Again, while we're doing this, there is some discussion in the oral communications, but maybe we can be a more thorough at this point. 2699 04:17:14,220 --> 04:17:21,960 Sure. The person who was in that position has vacated and he was promoted to senior engineer. 2700 04:17:22,680 --> 04:17:33,600 So we were having an engineer run the contracts basically, and that was fine, but we really need the engineers to do engineering work. 2701 04:17:33,600 --> 04:17:35,980 because we've got a lot of work for them. 2702 04:17:36,500 --> 04:17:38,480 And unfortunately, we have so many. 2703 04:17:39,040 --> 04:17:40,840 And we have a lot of CIP needs. 2704 04:17:41,300 --> 04:17:44,160 So we really want to have our engineers focus on engineering. 2705 04:17:45,140 --> 04:17:49,180 So I asked the person who was just left the position 2706 04:17:49,180 --> 04:17:52,580 as well as our operations manager to tell me 2707 04:17:52,580 --> 04:17:54,260 what it is that they really do. 2708 04:17:54,820 --> 04:17:56,820 And he proceeded to explain, you know, 2709 04:17:56,960 --> 04:17:58,660 they just really a contract manager. 2710 04:17:59,680 --> 04:18:02,180 He manages the contract with waste management 2711 04:18:02,180 --> 04:18:09,260 with the street sweeper, with the enterprise fleet, with the tree trimmer, with the 2712 04:18:09,260 --> 04:18:18,880 AQ&D contract that we get for air quality, and we get some money for reducing 2713 04:18:18,880 --> 04:18:25,840 or taking care of oil, recycled oil, and things like that. So it's really about 2714 04:18:25,840 --> 04:18:34,520 contract management. So then I asked them to meet with Gale, our Dixon McNadd, our HR director, 2715 04:18:35,860 --> 04:18:41,060 and to come up with the scope of work that reflects what the job actually is, as opposed 2716 04:18:42,160 --> 04:18:47,660 to what the job description said. So they've come up with a job description that reflects 2717 04:18:47,660 --> 04:18:53,900 that. And because when you're talking about somebody who's focusing on contracts and contract 2718 04:18:53,900 --> 04:18:59,840 management and contract compliance. There's a section in there. It says, you know, that somebody 2719 04:18:59,840 --> 04:19:05,480 with a law degree or contract management degree or public administration background would 2720 04:19:05,480 --> 04:19:13,620 be appropriate as opposed to an engineer. And so that's the nature of the amended job description. 2721 04:19:13,780 --> 04:19:19,020 And it's really to reflect what the person, what we're looking for in a person. So that we're not 2722 04:19:19,020 --> 04:19:25,880 false advertising to somebody who says I didn't know this is what you really want. So that way we get 2723 04:19:25,880 --> 04:19:30,920 candidates with a type of background that we're looking for. Thank you. Chair recognizes council 2724 04:19:30,920 --> 04:19:38,450 over there was home. Mr. Mayor, I just have a problem with this jurist, doctorate, 2725 04:19:38,590 --> 04:19:43,570 JD, a master's degree is good, but I've never seen this with a job, 2726 04:19:44,510 --> 04:19:54,910 In fact, this is a jurisprudence, or what does it say at all, it's almost like it's a deterrent to me. 2727 04:19:55,150 --> 04:19:59,870 Public administration, a green public administration, but I don't even... 2728 04:20:00,240 --> 04:20:03,620 I just don't know, I've never seen one in like that in the city, of course, 2729 04:20:06,790 --> 04:20:24,030 and not looking for an actual attorney. It's a bit with a law degree. I mean, I know plenty of people have law degrees, but never passed the war. Never took the war. They just have a law background and contract background. So someone comes with that, that'd be great. But that's, that would be a benefit. 2730 04:20:24,050 --> 04:20:30,210 Oh, contract administrative, some, I, I just don't feel it's necessary. I like the match is great, 2731 04:20:33,920 --> 04:20:33,920 but 2732 04:20:33,920 --> 04:20:36,500 Okay, the chair recognizes council member Robless. 2733 04:20:36,540 --> 04:20:38,540 Thank you. 2734 04:20:39,120 --> 04:20:45,760 This may or the other question that I wanted to raise also had to do with the compensation. 2735 04:20:46,140 --> 04:20:50,520 I don't see there have been any adjustment for compensation. 2736 04:20:52,400 --> 04:20:58,000 If there's someone who doesn't have an engineering degree, 2737 04:20:58,280 --> 04:21:03,040 but doesn't also have one of the other advanced degrees suggested. 2738 04:21:03,040 --> 04:21:10,060 adjusted is there any adjustment in the compensation for this position. So, Mr. Me with that, 2739 04:21:10,360 --> 04:21:18,520 I would suggest that the manner be referred to the personnel committee for review and consideration. 2740 04:21:19,220 --> 04:21:21,500 Okay, is that a motion? Yes. 2741 04:21:21,640 --> 04:21:22,340 Is there a second? 2742 04:21:22,340 --> 04:21:22,400 Yes. 2743 04:21:23,160 --> 04:21:25,520 Okay. Motion by World of the Second by Santorina. 2744 04:21:26,160 --> 04:21:29,720 Thank you for item to the personnel city council subcommittee. 2745 04:21:30,540 --> 04:21:34,840 We're now in discussion of that motion on the floor and we don't want to address that motion. 2746 04:21:36,160 --> 04:21:37,100 You have the floor. 2747 04:21:37,320 --> 04:21:42,920 I would just ask that the committee taking to account the council's comments and then my comment. 2748 04:21:46,460 --> 04:21:46,940 Okay. 2749 04:21:47,420 --> 04:21:48,220 Very good. 2750 04:21:50,260 --> 04:21:51,860 Any other discussion on the motion? 2751 04:21:52,980 --> 04:21:53,260 Okay. 2752 04:21:53,960 --> 04:21:57,880 The motion is to refer item to self committee on personnel. 2753 04:21:58,740 --> 04:21:58,800 Please. 2754 04:21:59,420 --> 04:22:01,900 Castor vote is no one else queuing up, please castor 2755 04:22:09,680 --> 04:22:11,000 vote. 2756 04:22:11,000 --> 04:22:14,140 Attorney, was you down on this forward to zero, you have a comment? 2757 04:22:14,600 --> 04:22:16,900 No, we have, I guess staff, we have a question. 2758 04:22:17,320 --> 04:22:23,040 We want to understand what the comment was about compensation, what do you want the committee 2759 04:22:23,040 --> 04:22:25,700 to consider related to compensation? 2760 04:22:27,140 --> 04:22:34,440 Making an adjustment, I mean, if they have an engineered degree, I consider that to be 2761 04:22:35,740 --> 04:22:44,340 advanced in a regular bachelor's degree. So to the extent that it's down with, I think 2762 04:22:44,340 --> 04:22:48,100 there should be an adjustment. And I say have a law degree. I mean, that just takes 2763 04:22:48,100 --> 04:22:53,380 them to a whole new level. Well actually we're hoping that we don't get an engineer because 2764 04:22:53,380 --> 04:22:58,500 we're really not looking for an engineer.
