I'm Pastor Emeritus, so inspired church. I recently submitted my apartment and I'm glad to be here to say this prayer.

special meeting. I pray your blessings, Lord on this meeting and future meeting.

36
00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:04,470
That's what we recognize your presence, Lord, and we have knowledge, our shortcomings,

37
00:03:04,750 --> 00:03:09,110
false incentives, we ask for your forgiveness and repentance. It is difficult times

38
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:15,190
was uncertain in divisions and fear we ask for guidance, wisdom and humility upon the mayor,

00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,660

00:05:55,780 --> 00:05:57,460
because the city is considering weather

00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:09,610

76

Thank you, Madam Mayor.

79
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Councilman, in close session,

80
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:35,080
presented up in my close session,

81
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,780
54956.9V1, to confer with Leader Gold Council

82
00:06:38,780 --> 00:06:41,000
in the matter of Thompson versus City of Carson.

00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,300
20, STCV21039, no reportable action was taken.

85
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:52,600
The Council has not taken up item number three yet

86
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,840
we'll do so at a later time.

87
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,520
We also met pursuant to government code section 54957.6.

88
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:00,340
Two can go.

89
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,200
They were negotiating negotiations with AIM,

90
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:07,940
CPSA, affiliated with S-E-I-U-L-P-7-2-1.

no report of blackshinal was taken.

93
00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:15,460
We also met in closed session pursuant to government code

94
00:07:15,460 --> 00:07:19,940
section 54956.9B4, because the cities

95
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:22,680
considering whether to initiate litigation in two cases.

96
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,940
In one matter, no reportable action was taken.

97
00:07:25,340 --> 00:07:29,240
In the second matter, the Council authorized litigation against the

98
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,680
County of Los Angeles due to their lack of urgent reaction to the public

99
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,580
emergency related to the Dominion's channel.

100
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:46,780
And the Council has instructed staff to work with neighboring cities to

101
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:52,540
to provide a coalition that deals with this public emergency.

102
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:53,940
Thank you.

103
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,740
I'll close my report, Mayor.

104
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:05,360
Mayor, you're on mute.

105
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,840
Ma'am, should we manage with our board item number six?

106
00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:15,740
Thank you, Mayor.

107
00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:18,340
I would like to be introduced for us right in.

108
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:21,440
Is here with us tonight from the Department of Public Works.

109
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200

111
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:33,420

112
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:34,600
going forward.

113
00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:39,310
Thank you very much. Can you hear me?

114
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:42,710
Yes. Thank you. So good evening,

115
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:45,870
Madam Mayor, Madam Mayor and council members. I am

116
00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:48,050
Russ Brighton and the Incident Commander for the

117
00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:51,510
Dominguez Channel Leader Incident. County is prepared to

118
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:54,470
record on our activities, which I'll be sharing with you

119
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:59,330
tonight. So public works along with our response partners, public health,

120
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:03,190
self-coast air quality management district, county fire has

121
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:06,670
met. We continue to work to mitigate the impacts of the

122
00:09:06,670 --> 00:09:11,090
odor associated with the Dominguez channel in Carson. Yesterday,

123
00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:15,070
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, unanimously approved the

124
00:09:15,070 --> 00:09:19,570
proclamation of local emergency for this incident. We're making

125
00:09:19,570 --> 00:09:22,290
progress and the downward trend and hydrogen sulfate

126
00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:28,410
readings continue. We remain fully deployed and continue to apply the odor neutralizer at

127
00:09:28,410 --> 00:09:34,430
six locations using spray rigs, water trucks, and a boat. We're also using nanobublers

128
00:09:34,430 --> 00:09:39,510
which remain fully operational and are operating around the clock. Our science team continues

129
00:09:39,510 --> 00:09:45,430
to look for other sources of the odor and is focusing on remediation. We've been assisting

130
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:52,050
in the community with their needs and have relocated over 2,100 families at local hotels distributed

131
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:59,670
over 10,500 portable air filters, and responded to over 6,400 telephone calls that our community

132
00:09:59,670 --> 00:10:05,110
outreach vehicle remains at the Carson Community Center and is assisted over 2,200 residents.

133
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:11,150
Additionally, the South Coast Air Quality Management District remains fully deployed and continues

134
00:10:11,150 --> 00:10:17,490
to use all available tools, including mobile monitors, handheld devices, air samplers,

135
00:10:17,490 --> 00:10:22,310
And their robust fixed air monitoring network spread throughout the community.

136
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:27,510
The agency has responded to over 4,000 public complaints since the beginning of the incident.

137
00:10:28,270 --> 00:10:39,530
South Coast AQMD has also been conducting monitoring and sampling for other air toxins that would typically be associated with direct petroleum omission sources, such as oil pipelines or refineries.

138
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:46,430
The findings at this point do not indicate the presence of petroleum or petroleum related products from refineries.

139
00:10:46,430 --> 00:10:52,490
So in terms of public health, in consultation with the South Coast Air Quality Management District,

140
00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:58,410
County Fire Health Asmet and State and Federal Advisors, including in the California Department of Public Health,

141
00:10:58,850 --> 00:11:05,430
the US EPA and California EPA, continue to reassess both the situation and the actions recommended

142
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:10,870
for the public to mitigate and prevent any health impacts. Public Health does not see in levels the

143
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:16,130
hydrogen sulfide that would pose an immediate threat to health. And as a reminder, hydrogen sulfate

144
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:20,710
is immediately dangerous to life and help at or above 100,000 parts per billion.

145
00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:23,570
That's the equivalent of 100 parts per million.

146
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:28,450
The Department of Public Health continues to engage in outreach to the Carson community.

147
00:11:29,090 --> 00:11:33,490
They have team members, canvassing Carson neighborhoods, businesses, and schools to share

148
00:11:33,490 --> 00:11:34,770
our latest health recommendations.

149
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:39,550
They share information on the county's claims and reimbursement process, and they answer

150
00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:44,710
questions and provide technical assistance on how to reduce or reduce when they occur indoors.

151
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:50,690
So far, they visited more than 10,000 homes and more than 200 businesses, all of the schools

152
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:56,650
in local community and more than 2,000 homes visits to residents identified as homebound.

153
00:11:57,630 --> 00:12:01,510
Public health has also been staffing a community hotline and public works as community

154
00:12:01,510 --> 00:12:05,310
outreach events at the Carson Community Center and Victoria Park.

155
00:12:05,650 --> 00:12:10,270
Today, staff have consulted and provided technical assistance to over 4,000 visitors

156
00:12:10,270 --> 00:12:15,070
and responded to over 460 hotline calls.

157
00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:17,430
Public health has been coordinating with public works

158
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:20,050
to deliver county issued portable filtration devices

159
00:12:20,050 --> 00:12:23,370
to elderly residents that do not have the means to pick up

160
00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:24,610
that device in person.

161
00:12:25,070 --> 00:12:26,630
And to date public health has made deliveries

162
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:28,430
to more than 100 homes.

163
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:32,050
Public health will continue to address the situation closely

164
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:34,190
or will assess the situation closely

165
00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:36,530
and work with the county state and federal partners

166
00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:39,330
to determine when the nuisance directive can be listed.

167
00:12:40,110 --> 00:12:55,750
So, that's going to complete my update for this evening, and I ask that if you have any further questions that you direct them to our Joint Information Center, and then we will be happy to reroute them to the appropriate agency and provide you with answers shortly.

168
00:12:55,750 --> 00:13:00,750
for your benefits that joint information center, where we'd like you to address your questions,

169
00:13:01,310 --> 00:13:08,990
can be reached at PIO at pw.lycounty.gov. Additionally, your city manager has been very active,

170
00:13:09,050 --> 00:13:13,810
participating closely with county leaders, and has been an excellent conduit for information

171
00:13:13,810 --> 00:13:17,670
both from the city and I believe back to the city on the ways to dance.

172
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:25,730
That completes my report. If you have questions, we request that you wrote them to your

173
00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:29,770
I'm asking that you route them through our joint information setting.

174
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:30,350
Thank you.

175
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:31,310
Providing a big.

176
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:32,530
You can't answer any questions.

177
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:34,730
Yes, ma'am.

178
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:35,750
Okay.

179
00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:37,050
I'm not rust.

180
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:41,630
We requested you route them through our joint information setting.

181
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:42,590
I'm just asking.

182
00:13:42,950 --> 00:13:45,270
Why have you been directed not to ask questions?

183
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:46,150
Not to record.

184
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:47,230
Not to record.

185
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:49,950
I is the incident commander involved in detailed.

186
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:52,450
On the ground operations.

187
00:13:53,390 --> 00:13:58,310
questions coming from your council. I think would better be addressed through our joint information center.

188
00:13:59,170 --> 00:14:00,910
Is that that 211 number?

189
00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:04,950
No, man. It is a best way to get a hold of them.

190
00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:09,690
And your city band, your city band, your landers, is able to route questions as well.

191
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,410
The best way is through that you know.

192
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:14,450
PIO at pw.laccountee.gov.

193
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:15,530
That's just a few minutes.

194
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:19,790
We have the city manager at the number?

195
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:20,570
She does.

196
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,480
She's been fantastic conduit at him for me.

197
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,320
So no questions you can ask in regards to how long

198
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,220
is it going to take to get the smell of the city?

199
00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:34,060
No, we're part of this incident is responding to our joint

200
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:36,880
information center, make sure that information is centralized

201
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,660
that standardized and everyone's getting access to the same information.

202
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,140
Yeah, no relief from the smell.

203
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:46,780
That pumps.

204
00:14:48,910 --> 00:14:50,630
Well, we can't ask any questions.

205
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:53,490
So the report seems like it's kind of redundant.

206
00:14:53,770 --> 00:14:54,850
We've heard it before.

207
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:58,990
So it's just redundant and okay.

208
00:15:01,850 --> 00:15:16,210
Mayer and Russ know, whatever we got to reroute them to you. I want to point out to the residents, this is the same information that's been available to us. We got to reroute it somewhere. We're unable to get answers for you.

209
00:15:16,950 --> 00:15:29,710
And as elected officials, we're particularly frustrated, and this is why the city is instituted or gave direction to go ahead and file this multi-judicial lawsuit tonight, because these are the same type of answers.

210
00:15:29,710 --> 00:15:33,750
we're getting all the time. And we don't have answers for our resident and it's unacceptable.

211
00:15:34,650 --> 00:15:38,850
So I appreciate you getting on and give us an update, but we've heard it before and we need

212
00:15:38,850 --> 00:15:43,490
better answers than that. Yeah. Yes, we do. We're playing with the lives of the residents in the

213
00:15:43,490 --> 00:15:48,210
city of Carson. For me, it's unacceptable, my residents are unacceptable in the process.

214
00:15:48,930 --> 00:15:54,310
And the urgency of not being urgent is what has been the biggest issue that we are not

215
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:58,630
clearly knowing what's going on. The same rhetoric is over and over again.

216
00:15:58,630 --> 00:16:16,830
The report hasn't changed, so I understand that you can't give answers, but we as elected officials, we need some more concrete answers as to when there's going to be a resolution or remediation and a complete renovation of that canal and who is responsible and what action is going to be taken.

217
00:16:16,830 --> 00:16:21,070
that's what we're looking for. How happy to take that that's for you. Let's go and that's what we're

218
00:16:21,070 --> 00:16:26,270
looking for, the who work when we're in Hawaii. This has been going on for 30 days and it's like

219
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:32,440
we're telling our residents, oh we don't know, they won't know, they sometimes they won't know more than we do.

220
00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:39,010
Okay, so that's how we're going to make a reaction. Yeah. Ross, thank you for the report. I think it's

221
00:16:39,010 --> 00:16:45,730
important to keep communication going all the time on this constantly. I do have a request that you could

222
00:16:45,730 --> 00:16:58,290
back to your department. And it is that the 1030 meetings with the EPA include the city of

223
00:16:58,290 --> 00:17:04,210
Carson. If you please bring that back I'm sure the city's requested already, but I think that

224
00:17:04,210 --> 00:17:09,890
would be helpful. Thank you very much. The 1030 meetings you're referring to that's with the EPA.

225
00:17:09,890 --> 00:17:39,870
the county and the county. Yes, I'm also the city's included with that unless you have other information that you clarify it. Sure. So I'm not available of the 10 or not not aware of it. 10 30 meeting. Perhaps I can follow up with a city manager afterwards to make sure I get the precise details happy to have the time wrong, but I understand that he is in communicating with the county. And I think this if the county were to make the request that the city be included, I think the federal government will

226
00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:44,390
be offered to that idea. Thank you. If I could just provide some clarification to help out in

227
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:50,730
Pentea, what's what's been referred to as are the technical meetings that are occurring

228
00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:56,350
and that's what the time is either one point at might of intent 30, but it's the technical meetings

229
00:17:56,350 --> 00:18:02,590
that the county, the state and the federal government are working together in. We've made that request twice.

230
00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:16,240
Thank

231
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,540
you so much.

232
00:18:27,020 --> 00:18:32,800
I'm next item is proclamation recognizing November as national diabetes awareness month.

233
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:39,780
Mayor, I'm sorry, but do you want to just take tabs and Jones for us? I know that we

234
00:18:39,780 --> 00:18:43,260
I'd like to list him, but I know that you always like to have him at the beginning.

235
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:44,800
Oh yes, please.

236
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:45,980
Captain, are you here?

237
00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:50,760
I'm here, Ram.

238
00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:51,960
I can't have to.

239
00:18:53,020 --> 00:18:53,540
I'm sorry.

240
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:56,700
I'm sorry, my video part isn't coming up.

241
00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:57,120
OK.

242
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,580
How are you guys doing this evening?

243
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:01,000
We're hanging there.

244
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,660
Good.

245
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:05,520
I have a shortly-port to see you.

246
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:09,800
You had a virtual town hall meeting last week on a 26th.

247
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:12,620
The different thing about this virtual town hall meeting

248
00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:18,280
is, you know, normally they're doing a daytime and a lot of our residents have reached out to us and they ask us that

249
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Captain Jones can you and your team have one in the evening, so we switched it and we have one at 530 in the evening and a great turnout.

250
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:30,720
A lot of good questions, we were able to share a lot of crime and safety information.

251
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:39,800
So, we will be doing another evening one, sometimes soon also, but it was a very good virtual town, all of me.

252
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:45,880
Um, this past week on the last Friday, we had a talk or treaty event that went real well.

253
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,620
A lot of families and a lot of kids came out.

254
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Got a lot of candy, a lot of stickers, color and books and different things.

255
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,560
And what we're just happy about is after the people got their candy and everything.

256
00:19:56,820 --> 00:20:00,640
They just kind of muddled around and everyone just started meaning like to see.

257
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,080
They were happy just to see one another and remember that the great community that we are.

258
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:07,960
So it was real good and we're happy about that.

259
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,500
Well, we're just happy to see a bunch of the kids.

260
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,800
As you know, we've had some, we've been doing our safe driving traffic campaign

261
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,800
as well as trying to address some of our areas that we've had some commercial vehicle

262
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,980
and unintended trailer issues.

263
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:28,080
I'm happy to report over the last week or so.

264
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:32,940
We've issued a high number of citation and told 17 trailers.

265
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,640
So we'll continue our stay on top of that and keep what our efforts

266
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,360
regarding that matter.

267
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:42,960
A positive story I want to share with you guys, and as you guys know, we have our homeless

268
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,860
deputies out there who are constantly trying to either move some of the homeless along

269
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:54,240
or get them services in it, and last week they came across a older woman who had moved

270
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,000
up here with her husband, husband, and a dying, and so she was pretty much kind of destitute

271
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,040
living in a tent.

272
00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:05,220
They have been talking with her, and like most of the homeless, she was reluctant to take

273
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:09,540
some of the services, some customers embarrassed for whatever, but they finally got a reconnected

274
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:15,560
with her family last week. And with the help of St. Joseph Center, they were able to have

275
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,940
her get some transportation and a range for her to be reunited with her family. And what we found

276
00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:25,700
that was the reunited couldn't be a better time. There's actually a granddaughter or a grandson

277
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:33,020
that's expected any day now. So we're happy about that last week. Lastly, I know as I was talking

278
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:39,180
our detective division. I noticed we had a high number of reports and alleged crimes during

279
00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:42,920
some dating. And we don't know if that's because people are getting back out of school

280
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,600
started back up or college or whatever, but we've had a different lot of issues with on dates.

281
00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:55,060
So I'm just going to go over some safe dating information. Number one, you know, I know a lot of times

282
00:21:55,060 --> 00:22:01,700
people are meeting online or friends, but we do suggest please get a photo of the person, maybe

283
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:06,100
video or FaceTime or something see what they actually look like. They're actually who they say they are.

284
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:13,040
Number two, please meet in a public place. First, second, third dates. This is trying not to

285
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,560
invite individuals to their own home or private place or even go to their home. Let's try to

286
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,620
stay, keep it in a public place. Number three, you know a lot of times, you know the guys,

287
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,760
it's just to be a gentleman, you know, you try to court the young lady or whatever maybe, but

288
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,540
we're suggesting for those first few dates, you control your own transportation. Don't

289
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:37,740
depend on anyone for your transportation to pick you up or whatever. So that you can feel free to leave when you feel comfortable.

290
00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:42,780
For please limit your alcohol consumption on your own dates.

291
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:55,500
And also keep an eye on your food and drinks. If you walk away from that food or those drinks, it's all over with. Please just buy new one, but don't go back to drinking that same drink that you left unattended.

292
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,540
don't share personal information, financial information, please don't share personal private

293
00:23:03,540 --> 00:23:09,420
photos and it would suggest also tell a friend or someone where you would be at who you

294
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:15,440
would be with. And lastly, please trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, there's

295
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,880
nothing wrong with you leaving, nothing wrong with you removing yourself or going somewhere else.

296
00:23:21,820 --> 00:23:28,160
So that's that on the dating aspect, and just remember if you do think that some type of crime

297
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,620
has done to you, please do not hesitate to report it to us and we'll investigate.

298
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,240
Thank you all for your support of the hard work of human and human and the hard research

299
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,120
station that concludes my report this evening.

300
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:42,820
Thank you, Captain.

301
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:44,420
Any questions for our captain?

302
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,300
Yeah, Madam, I'm almost seeing a captain,

303
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,480
I appreciate that type of information that's really good for the schools.

304
00:23:59,740 --> 00:24:13,560
Maybe we could have deputies that are working in line with your dating etiquette, your practical and common sense approach to meeting people online into the schools.

305
00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:18,120
Maybe you're doing that already, so that's my question.

306
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Are you doing that into our school system now,

307
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,920
our high school, particularly?

308
00:24:24,220 --> 00:24:25,880
Yes, our school resource deputy,

309
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,760
as well as a community relations office,

310
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:30,180
I wouldn't say this there, I'm regular basis,

311
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,340
but when they are attending some of the classrooms,

312
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,020
somebody had been practicing with that,

313
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:36,880
or somebody else mentioned that they are sharing.

314
00:24:37,540 --> 00:24:38,980
And they've got to come to the high school,

315
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,100
who's the other thing that they're sharing,

316
00:24:41,220 --> 00:24:42,340
is the whole sex thing,

317
00:24:42,340 --> 00:24:49,740
because I think a lot of the kids still unfortunately are sharing private things that they shouldn't

318
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:57,240
not knowing that that's actually a crime. So child pornography will be sharing the photos that I

319
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:03,060
nature. Yeah, if you think the degree of education that's usually level for the students needs to be

320
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:08,940
increased because that point you're taking is so, so, very important now it's actually a crime

321
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,460
really committed when and not even realizing it. So that's our

322
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:18,180
information. I know that it's that I teach. I'm kind of amazed that

323
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:22,440
they don't know about things like that, especially after watching

324
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,780
certain television programs, they should know that there are lots of dangers

325
00:25:26,780 --> 00:25:32,240
out there on the internet. Yes sir. Thank you Captain.

326
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,720
Thank you.

327
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,260
Madam Mayor.

328
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Yes.

329
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,300
Captain Jones.

330
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,620
Yes, sir.

331
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:44,040
Can you bring back, I guess, our next meeting, our new replacement of four Garamander?

332
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Oh, yes.

333
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:46,760
Sergeant Amando Hernandez?

334
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,360
Yes.

335
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:47,700
Yes.

336
00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:53,080
I met him a couple of weeks back, but I bring it back before Councilor Biden knows who

337
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,260
was our new liaison now.

338
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Yes, sir.

339
00:25:56,660 --> 00:25:57,460
Don't be here.

340
00:25:57,620 --> 00:25:58,240
Thank you.

341
00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:00,080
Okay.

342
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,300
Thank you.

343
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:01,740
Thank you.

344
00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:13,920
Thank you. I'm good night. Thank you. Have a good night. Next is item number 6. No item number 7. 7.

345
00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:20,700
Proclamation recognizing November as National Beaties Awareness Month. GMD or mayor 14.

346
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,020
You're muted. Oh, I'm muted. He's muted. Yeah.

347
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:37,560
Yeah, this is a approximation of recognizing the month of November 2021 as national diabetes

348
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:46,680
arrest month. Whereas an estimated 30.3 million Americans have diabetes, which is 9.4% of

349
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:53,620
the entire US population, and another 84.1 million Americans have free diabetes, and our risk

350
00:26:53,620 --> 00:27:00,240
developing Type II diabetes. And whereas an estimated 7.2 million Americans who have

351
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:07,080
diabetes, which is actually 23.8% of people with diabetes, do not know they have the disease,

352
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:12,400
and may experience damage to the heart, eyes, kidneys, and limbs without producing any symptoms

353
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,480
until it's too late. Whereas Type I diabetes affects 5% of all adults and is characterized

354
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,440
as an insulin deficiency, occurring when the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin

355
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,700
producing beta cells of the pancreas, and whereas diet and lifestyle have it's do not

356
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:36,320
cause type 1 diabetes, and whereas type 2 by diabetes, the most common form is characterized

357
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:43,580
by a rising blood glucose, also known as sugar, a level in the body, resulting in the body's misuse

358
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:50,680
of insulin. And whereas the seriousness of diabetes is often underestimated because diabetes

359
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,700
is rarely listed as a cause of death, but rather the complications caused by diabetes

360
00:27:55,700 --> 00:28:01,540
are listed instead. And whereas diabetes can lead to increased risk for heart attack or

361
00:28:01,540 --> 00:28:09,280
stroke, kidney failure, amputations and advanced diabetic retrooprophy greatly increase in

362
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:15,580
risk of severe vision loss, which is as well as nerve damage, and whereas the healthy lifestyle

363
00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:22,060
is important for individuals with diabetes and excludes exercising, not smoking. Of

364
00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:29,200
it includes exercising, not smoking and maintaining a balanced diet and proper insulin levels.

365
00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:35,100
Whereas diabetes awareness month is an opportunity to increase awareness of risk factors and

366
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:40,980
and the importance of a healthy lifestyle in diabetes prevention and care.

367
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:44,780
Now, therefore, the Mayor and City Council members of Carson, California,

368
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:51,440
do here by proclaim the month of November 2021 as National Diabetes Awareness Month in the City of Carson.

369
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:59,480
And we remind our citizens of the vital importance for eating healthy and to support education programs to help fight against developing diabetes.

370
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,200
The third day of November 2021. Thank you.

371
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:10,680
Mr. No Board here to accept that MPT. I have to ask for the staff.

372
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:11,180
Okay.

373
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:16,600
There are garlanders or your staff might know if the citizen was available to accept it

374
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,200

375
00:29:22,740 --> 00:29:27,200
Good evening, everybody. It does not look like they're a civilian. It was available

376
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,600
to attend tonight.

377
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,900
Okay. What about Valerie Preston for the next one?

378
00:29:35,550 --> 00:29:38,330
Let's see. Valerie is online.

379
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:47,270
Ms. Valerie Preston is not sure to be available tonight.

380
00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:51,610
Okay, and I'm next meeting is one.

381
00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:56,970
Okay, I want to clear this over to the 16th then.

382
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,160
There is it because she wanted to be here to accept it. Okay. Just just number eight, mayor, we're both seven, any. No, number,

383
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,200
number, number, number eight. Okay.

384
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:21,940
Okay. The next one is proclamation recognized November as indigenous people's month. Councilman Hilton.

385
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,920
Thank you, Madam Mayor. This is a proclamation recognized in November as an indigenous people month.

386
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,500
Whereas in the month of November is a time to celebrate rich in diverse culture, traditions,

387
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,060
and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of indigenous people and whereas

388
00:30:39,060 --> 00:30:45,200
the early inhabitants of this great land, the indigenous people of North America played a unique role

389
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520
in shaping our nation's history and culture.

390
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:54,620
Whereas during the month of November, when we celebrate Thanksgiving, we especially celebrate their heritage

391
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:58,360
and the contribution of indigenous people of this nation.

392
00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:02,060
Whereas indigenous people, month is an opportune time

393
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:04,880
to educate the general public about tribes,

394
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,700
to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges

395
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:11,940
and indigenous people have faced both historically and in the present

396
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:15,360
and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked

397
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,100
to conquer these challenges and whereas since our nation's birth,

398
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,840
pluralism and diversity have been hallmarks

399
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:30,000
of the American experience and success. In 1782, the founding fathers chose, as our national

400
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,140
motto, e-plommetion, which means out of many, one, and whereas today's American unity

401
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:43,480
derived from a mix of many diverse cultures and people, grandly embodies the vision expressed by

402
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,600
our founders. Indigenous culture have made remarkable contributions to our national identity.

403
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:55,960
They're unique spiritual art tickets and literary contribution together, their vibrant

404
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:04,700
custom and celebrations, Elevant and Rich, Ireland, and whereas as we move into the 21st

405
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:09,780
century, indigenous people will play a vital role in maintaining our nation's strength

406
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:10,500
and prosperity.

407
00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:15,840
Almost half of American indigenous tribal leaders have served in the United States on

408
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:21,280
Forces, following in the footsteps of their forebears and distinguished themselves during the

409
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:28,000
world wars and the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf, and whereas their

410
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:34,620
patriotism, again, appeared after the September 11 attacks, and indigenous law enforcement

411
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:40,100
officers volunteered to serve in air marshal programs on the local level.

412
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:45,040
Indigenous people are strengthening their communities through education and business development,

413
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,440
opening the door to opportunity and contributing to a brighter future for all.

414
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:54,800
And, whereas during Indigenous people month, we call on the community to learn more about

415
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,160
the history and heritage of the Indigenous people of the Great Land, such actions reaffirm

416
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,040
our appreciation and respect for their traditions and way of life and can help to preserve

417
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,340
an important part of our culture for generations yet to come.

418
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:14,440
Now for the mayor and the city council of Carson, California hereby proclaim this month of November

419
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:20,040
as Indigenous people month and call up on the citizens to observe this month when a

420
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,640
appropriate programs and activities date at this third day of November 2021.

421
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:35,240
Madam Mayor, we have sought out an organization to give this that recognizes and

422
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,300
groups Indigenous people and we will be forwarding them this certificate.

423
00:33:40,580 --> 00:33:41,760
Thank you so much, Madam Mayor.

424
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:49,220
Thank you so much. The next one is item there. I'm so sorry that I just have learned that Valerie

425
00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:56,480
Preston is now here. Oh, she is. Yeah. Okay. I'll just text her. Kevin, are you letting her in?

426
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:05,010
She's in Valerie. Can you hear us? Yes. Hi. Good evening. Hi, Dad Valerie. I'm glad you were able to make it.

427
00:34:05,870 --> 00:34:11,850
And I want to read this proclamation in recognition of November as prematurity awareness month.

428
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:17,850
I know this is very important, and I want to make sure you get to receive it and say a few words.

429
00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:22,710
For the City of Carson recognizes an honest amount of November as prematurity awareness

430
00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:27,770
month on this occasion, it is appropriate to raise awareness by recognizing the prevalence

431
00:34:27,770 --> 00:34:34,930
of premature births and the packs that they have, that it has on our communities and around the world.

432
00:34:35,350 --> 00:34:41,350
For as premature premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States.

433
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:55,230
particularly baby's ward to black women, and the United States black ladies are more than one and one half times as black women to be born to early comparative babies born to white women.

434
00:34:56,090 --> 00:35:03,350
The premature birth rate for black infants was 16.8% compared to the national average of 11.8%.

435
00:35:03,350 --> 00:35:09,170
And for us, the March of Dines, the leading non-profit organization, the process of pregnancy,

436
00:35:09,870 --> 00:35:14,150
and baby health is committed to finding solutions to the problems that threatened babies.

437
00:35:15,230 --> 00:35:21,050
Since 2003, the March of Dines has led prematurely a word is among activities in November,

438
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:28,810
as part of the prematurely campaign, the March of Dines achieved a major campaign milestone

439
00:35:28,810 --> 00:35:36,070
with the P-P-P-P-P-P-L-109-S45 was starting to

440
00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:38,590
to law in December 2006.

441
00:35:40,350 --> 00:35:44,210
Congress approved the measures before it expanded research

442
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:48,390
education and services pertaining to the growth problem of three

443
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:52,370
mature birds. Since then, the March of Dines has advocated for

444
00:35:52,370 --> 00:35:55,910
increased appropriations for federal agents for

445
00:35:55,910 --> 00:36:03,030
to relate it research and whereas prematurely word is not events are scheduled nationwide

446
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:08,330
during November. Commoned buildings and landmarks of several states including the Empire State

447
00:36:08,330 --> 00:36:13,710
Building in New York City was shown in purple light to symbolize hope for a healthy start

448
00:36:13,710 --> 00:36:14,730
for more babies.

449
00:36:16,750 --> 00:36:20,310
Whereas the city of course and values importance of educating the community

450
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:25,090
in order to create a more inclusive environment for our product, diverse neighborhoods

451
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:29,110
Understanding the diverse narratives that make up our neighborhoods and

452
00:36:29,630 --> 00:36:33,790
uplifting the people that live in them is a value hell with utmost importance.

453
00:36:34,950 --> 00:36:37,650
On World Pre-Matured Day in November 17th, the city

454
00:36:37,650 --> 00:36:42,630

00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,280
Go on, Mom.

570
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,340

Thank you very much.

575
00:45:38,580 --> 00:45:41,680
Now, Mayor, I want to mention also the food is fantastic.

576
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,660
And it's not fast food.

577
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,700
It's really healthy.

578
00:45:45,780 --> 00:45:46,440
Not at all.

579
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,600
They make the food fresh and everything fresh.

580
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,280
Everything fresh, it's an order.

581
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,340
We can't have Russians thinking you're going to get a pre-made hamburger. It's not going to happen.

582
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,460
You're going to order something. They're going to make the food for you fresh on the spot.

583
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,120
So be patient because it's worth it.

584
00:46:03,140 --> 00:46:04,880
Thank you. Thank you so much for that.

585
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:06,380
Thank you.

586
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,220
Everything is excellent. I definitely have to say that.

587
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:14,780
And we want to congratulate J.P. and Schleer for their engagement.

588
00:46:15,860 --> 00:46:16,600

Where's Walter Jeanette?

598
00:47:00,110 --> 00:47:00,330
Jeanette?

599
00:47:03,450 --> 00:47:03,730
Jeanette?

600
00:47:07,230 --> 00:47:07,710
Jeanette?

601
00:47:09,930 --> 00:47:11,350
There she is on her iPad.

602
00:47:11,650 --> 00:47:14,090
She's gonna have her sound of a councilman.

603
00:47:15,670 --> 00:47:15,870
Okay.

604
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,020
And we're probably to move on.

605
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,560
She's not able to hear us.

606
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,280
She'll come back.

607
00:47:23,060 --> 00:47:24,460
She'll come back and get back on.

608
00:47:24,460 --> 00:47:26,580
if you can get in contact with Kevin.

609
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,060
I will counsel.

610
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:28,940
All right.

611
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:32,340
For a time sake, let me go to the...

612
00:47:32,340 --> 00:47:34,780
Proclamation, recognize, and LA versus hate,

613
00:47:34,940 --> 00:47:36,440
United against hate week.

614
00:47:37,060 --> 00:47:37,760
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

615
00:47:37,820 --> 00:47:40,600
Where's the dangers of hate, racism, and bigotry

616
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,960
grows more apparent every day,

617
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,860
and the need for local action could not be more urgent.

618
00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:48,080
And whereas LA versus hate,

619
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:50,740
United against hate week, LA versus hate,

620
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:53,260
was created in direct response to the rise

621
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:58,880
and hate crimes and bias incidents that poses a dangerous threat to the safety and

622
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,600
civility of our neighborhoods.

623
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,220
Whereas local government public servants and politicians have a unique opportunity and responsibility

624
00:48:06,220 --> 00:48:10,220
to uplift message of hope and unity in these difficult times.

625
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:16,620
Whereas LA versus hate is committed to supporting residents of LA County with in community

626
00:48:16,620 --> 00:48:21,880
support and materials in whereas LA versus hate teams up with community partners representing

627
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,420
a diverse coalition of voices committed to ending hate.

628
00:48:25,740 --> 00:48:30,280
Whereas by tracking and reporting hate, we can ensure the resources are allocated appropriately

629
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:35,520
that those targeted by hate received the support they need, that offenders are held accountable

630
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,340
and that together we can build respectful and resilient communities.

631
00:48:40,940 --> 00:48:46,400
Whereas in September of 2019, LA versus hate started accepting reports of hate acts through

632
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,940
through the 211 LA providing help from experience,

633
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,780
empathetic case managers and multi-disciplinary teams of advocates,

634
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:58,120
mental health professionals, mentors, and legal professionals,

635
00:48:58,820 --> 00:49:01,760
whereas thousands have reached out for help and thousands have worked

636
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,600
with the case managers from LA versus hate to heal from the traumas of hate,

637
00:49:06,180 --> 00:49:09,240
whereas the city of Carson is dedicated to preventing and opposing hate

638
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:16,380
and intolerance in our community. The city of Carson endorses their

639
00:49:16,380 --> 00:49:23,740
21 and city activities to stop hate, intolerance and bullying and promote safe, inclusive and equitable neighborhoods.

640
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:31,220
Whereas education, compassion and cooperation are key to unlocking the understanding and embracing differences between people.

641
00:49:31,940 --> 00:49:37,480
Whereas we seek to join other communities in California and cities across the county in the second annual,

642
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:42,780
Elliott versus hate united against hate week as an important step in bridging divisions and strictly

643
00:49:42,780 --> 00:49:47,780
in our communities. Now therefore the city of Carson for the city of Carson hereby declares

644
00:49:47,780 --> 00:49:53,200
it's enthusiastic support of Elliott versus hate united against hate week activities in our

00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:59,960
county starting November the 14th of the 20th, 2021 and each and every day beyond dated today

646
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:06,040
the third day of November 2021 and who we have that's going to be accepting this proclamation

647
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:12,080

648
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:17,960
LA hate versus hate is also on board and the chair person of conflict management negotiation peace

649
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:24,940
keeping is Dr. Brian Durett who is one of where I got my message degree from CSUDH will be accepting

650
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:32,540
both of these on the behalf of the city. So who wants to go first? Christine? Sure, let's start. Thank you,

651
00:50:32,540 --> 00:50:37,840
Drunkling Hicks, we are so thankful for the City of Carson's partnership and support for the

652
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:43,880
LA versus Hate Initiative, especially shout out to you, Councilman Hicks, for your, you're

653
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:48,050
such a committed partner and you've been attending our meetings and is always through to see you.

654
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:53,380
You know, LA versus Hate is a community center program, really designed to support all

655
00:50:53,380 --> 00:50:58,810
registered residents across LA County by, you know, representing a diverse coalition of

656
00:51:00,030 --> 00:51:06,530
voices in the business sector and the nonprofit sector and local government, as you all know

657
00:51:06,530 --> 00:51:12,970
the rise in inequality and hate crimes towards minorities and seeking the sharp rise in recent

658
00:51:12,970 --> 00:51:19,530
years and COVID has really just exceeded it. But this population really allows government officials

659
00:51:19,530 --> 00:51:25,330
to express your commitment to combat actions of intolerance and strengthening your communities.

660
00:51:26,070 --> 00:51:33,090
It'll encourage your residents and organizations to feel safe and supported by you and we really appreciate

661
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:34,530
again your partnership and support.

662
00:51:35,670 --> 00:51:38,730
So congratulations to the seat of Christ in the future for your partnership.

663
00:51:40,910 --> 00:51:41,570
Thank you, Raphina.

664
00:51:42,410 --> 00:51:42,950
Dr. Gier.

665
00:51:43,770 --> 00:51:44,410
Thank you, sir.

666
00:51:44,570 --> 00:51:44,810
Thank you, sir.

667
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:46,950
I met a mayor, program, mayor, council members.

668
00:51:47,590 --> 00:51:49,170
We very much appreciate this.

669
00:51:49,970 --> 00:51:53,890
We really think we live in our universities in a terrific city.

670
00:51:53,950 --> 00:51:54,990
I'm Canadian person.

671
00:51:54,990 --> 00:51:57,570
that came down to be part director of this program.

672
00:51:58,010 --> 00:52:00,630
So we have at the University, we teach mediation,

673
00:52:00,810 --> 00:52:02,070
arbitration, fact-fighting.

674
00:52:02,190 --> 00:52:03,670
We do transformative dialogue.

675
00:52:03,830 --> 00:52:05,690
We teach transformative dialogue in the classroom

676
00:52:05,690 --> 00:52:08,230
so that we can get people to work together.

677
00:52:08,710 --> 00:52:11,290
We can end, hey, we can build civil society.

678
00:52:11,810 --> 00:52:13,130
We're very much committed to that.

679
00:52:13,390 --> 00:52:16,890
And we really see our members here at this meeting tonight.

680
00:52:17,470 --> 00:52:19,150
You are also committed to it.

681
00:52:19,150 --> 00:52:20,590
Means a great deal to us.

682
00:52:20,770 --> 00:52:22,670
Our president, President of the University,

683
00:52:22,670 --> 00:52:25,810
that is a President Parman, our Provost, Michael Spania,

684
00:52:26,470 --> 00:52:28,490
a very much supportive of our program,

685
00:52:28,570 --> 00:52:31,490
our program and negotiation, negotiation,

00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:34,030
conflict resolution, and peace building,

687
00:52:34,810 --> 00:52:36,930
and also supportive of the efforts of the city

688
00:52:36,930 --> 00:52:38,750
and the members here.

689
00:52:39,030 --> 00:52:40,090
It's a terrific partnership.

690
00:52:41,130 --> 00:52:44,110
We want to continue going forward to address this work.

691
00:52:44,450 --> 00:52:47,370
You know, my own expression, it takes all of us

692
00:52:47,370 --> 00:52:48,470
to make the future work.

693
00:52:48,810 --> 00:52:50,510
It's going to take all of us coming together.

694
00:52:50,510 --> 00:52:54,630
And so to see this work happening in Carson, it's just so terrific.

695
00:52:55,390 --> 00:53:00,150
And I should tell you, we have a terrific number of faculty doing this work.

696
00:53:00,350 --> 00:53:05,110
I just want to give a quick appreciation to Professor Reneta Valerie, who's doing transformative

697
00:53:05,110 --> 00:53:12,450
dialed right now and around the county of Los Angeles, in Antelope Valley in different states.

698
00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:14,330
But we're really centered here doing this work.

699
00:53:14,470 --> 00:53:19,510
And right at our university, so folks who are interested in our program, we have a terrific program

700
00:53:19,510 --> 00:53:22,890
here and happy to tell you all about it if you give us a call at the University.

701
00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:25,530
Let's continue forward for every work you can.

702
00:53:30,030 --> 00:53:30,990
Thank you.

703
00:53:30,990 --> 00:53:31,390
Thank you.

704
00:53:31,390 --> 00:53:32,990
Thank you.

705
00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:33,150
Thank you.

706
00:53:33,150 --> 00:53:33,190
Thank you.

707
00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:34,150
You muted, Madam Mayor.

708
00:53:39,950 --> 00:53:40,730
Still muted.

709
00:53:45,130 --> 00:53:45,730
Thank you.

710
00:53:47,170 --> 00:53:47,790
You're excited.

711
00:53:48,830 --> 00:53:49,510
You're excited.

712
00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:49,870
You're excited.

713
00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:50,150
Okay.

714
00:53:51,290 --> 00:53:55,630
Next, we have a legislative update from the Senator Steve Raffett

715
00:53:55,630 --> 00:53:57,210
to see if he available.

716
00:53:57,210 --> 00:54:08,510
I'm terrible sorry, but he advised us that he had a conflict at the last minute and he's going to try to come back at one of our next meetings. Sorry about that.

717
00:54:10,050 --> 00:54:16,370
Item number 13 is a presentation from Carol Ward regarding water conservation activities in the city of Carson.

718
00:54:17,050 --> 00:54:26,670
And I know for that we have Tammy Myers here and I believe possibly about Felix who shows up whenever he can to be with the city of Carson.

719
00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:29,930
And then we deal with your presentation.

720
00:54:30,590 --> 00:54:31,950
For the medium screen.

721
00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:42,310
Okay.

722
00:54:42,310 --> 00:54:43,270
Thanks for my screen.

723
00:54:44,710 --> 00:54:44,930
Yes.

724
00:54:45,590 --> 00:54:46,150
Okay.

725
00:54:46,490 --> 00:54:46,530
Okay.

726
00:54:46,530 --> 00:54:47,390
Thank you.

727
00:54:47,590 --> 00:54:51,730
Well, thank you very much, Madam Mayor, and Council members.

728
00:54:51,930 --> 00:54:52,810
This is a great opportunity.

729
00:54:53,150 --> 00:54:57,610
I'm really looking forward to being able to share this brief presentation with you.

730
00:54:57,790 --> 00:55:04,550
Also, in partnership with Eliza J. Public Works Director and some great projects that we have.

731
00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:06,850
that we've been working on and moving forward

732
00:55:06,850 --> 00:55:10,750
to be able to set the example with these dire water needs

733
00:55:10,750 --> 00:55:11,930
going on currently.

734
00:55:13,610 --> 00:55:15,090
So I'm going to go ahead and jump into it.

735
00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:16,010
I won't take too long.

736
00:55:16,210 --> 00:55:16,550
I promise.

737
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:18,970
But I just wanted to give a quick overview

738
00:55:18,970 --> 00:55:22,330
as to who we are, California Water Service.

739
00:55:22,810 --> 00:55:26,330
And the map right here just gives you an idea of the areas

740
00:55:26,330 --> 00:55:28,750
that's covered within our gymnasist system.

741
00:55:29,630 --> 00:55:32,050
This is our carton area over here.

742
00:55:32,050 --> 00:55:37,430
And then we also have our Francesco's 30s and our Beach City, which is the

743
00:55:37,430 --> 00:55:42,430
her most ever known of each area that's come to a part of the city council.

744
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:50,440
As you all are aware, we are in emergency drought declaration, as of July 8th,

745
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:55,920
you know, the governor's signed an executive order, asking for all Californians to voluntarily

746
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:02,460
reduce their water usage by 15 percent from their 2020 levels of water use.

747
00:56:02,460 --> 00:56:09,260
On August 17th, Metropolitan Water District issued a water supply alert and response to this

748
00:56:09,260 --> 00:56:14,200
diverge route that is happening as you can see in the photos of Lake Horrible and Lake

749
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:22,000
Shasta and on October 19th, all of California counties have been included in the emergency

750
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,000
drought situation.

751
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:32,260
So here I wanted to just remind everybody that there are items of our habits that we need to

752
00:56:32,260 --> 00:56:37,540
that we are not doing. And one of those, to make sure that we are not using a hose, you know,

753
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,760
to wash off our driveways. We want to make sure that everybody is using a shut off

754
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:48,680
non-pull over to washing your vehicles. Make sure that you're not washing the sidewalk as well,

755
00:56:48,860 --> 00:56:55,420
which is the hose. And then also keeping in mind that when there is a rain, it's not to have

756
00:56:55,420 --> 00:56:57,240
this great stabilization on.

757
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,240
A lot of people forget to check their irrigation controllers

758
00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:07,580
that if they do not have a little bit of your irrigation controller, don't tend to go off

759
00:57:07,580 --> 00:57:13,320
then we would rather not have that water wasted and going into the ground and saturating

760
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:18,440
our landscape area. The other thing that we would like to also be able to note is that the

761
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:23,980
outdoor irrigation, you know, the hours of irrigation is prohibited between 8 a.m. and 6 a.m.

762
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,960
That allows for the irrigation for your landscape areas to be able to penetrate the

763
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:38,060
The water is being applied to the area and not so much has the evaporation and where the

764
00:57:38,060 --> 00:57:41,640
wind transfer has been used, you know, was being applied to their landscape area.

765
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,740
And then we'd also like to just remind you that fresh runes are also required to ask

766
00:57:46,740 --> 00:57:51,240
for, you know, if you would like to water, they're not automatically providing it

767
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,180
if they're asked or giving it to you upon.

768
00:57:57,820 --> 00:58:01,440
So conservation, here to help you say water every getting.

769
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:07,160
Here I just want to really outline the programs that we have, and as well as the resources

770
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:12,800
that we have available to the community and our constituents, so we have updated information

771
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:18,320
on the time, but as you can see, we have increased our reagates to promote water conservation,

772
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:23,800
and hopefully incentivize the people who have high water wasteing to ice us currently

773
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,500
as our homes.

774
00:58:24,660 --> 00:58:30,460
We want to be able to offer that greater incentive to get rid of this water wasteing devices.

775
00:58:30,460 --> 00:58:36,160
So, we have increased our high-visual fee finance from $50 for $200 to $100.

776
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:41,300
And then we've also increased our high-visual fee closed clusters from $150 to $300.

777
00:58:41,700 --> 00:58:48,540
So, we really hope that this is an opportunity for people to take advantage of being able to change out those waterways these devices.

778
00:58:49,220 --> 00:58:53,980
We also have all of our programs and the rebates that's right here.

779
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:56,740
You can save your click on it and you can keep all the information.

780
00:58:56,740 --> 00:59:02,600
and then we've also added the latest drought news, report weeks, and water waves as well as

781
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,760
conservation resources for those who are interested in finding out about redoing their landscape

782
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:13,840
or just wanting to really find out about the water supply and concerns in their immediate area.

783
00:59:15,950 --> 00:59:20,670
One of the things that I am very happy to bring to you is that we have launched two programs.

784
00:59:21,250 --> 00:59:23,770
One of them is our logic cards that we gave for them.

785
00:59:23,770 --> 00:59:28,710
This rebate is for both our residential and smaller commercial customers, it is $3 per

786
00:59:28,710 --> 00:59:34,230
square foot for the area of church that is removed, for our residential customers, it's a minimum

787
00:59:34,230 --> 00:59:43,950
area of $250 square feet with a maximum of $4,500 for $1,500 for $1,500 square foot area.

788
00:59:44,810 --> 00:59:50,450
This rebate does not include the coverage of artificial church, so what we are asking is that

789
00:59:50,450 --> 00:59:56,510
we're putting white back into place, 50% of drop-to-art plant material, and then for our commercial

790
00:59:56,510 --> 00:59:59,950
customers, we are also, we have the 200...

791
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,580
50 square foot minimum converted areas, but with the maximum,

792
01:00:07,170 --> 01:00:08,590
if you have areas that

793
01:00:13,810 --> 01:00:16,550
are churches and the public authority

794
01:00:16,550 --> 01:00:17,270
of archery

795
01:00:37,430 --> 01:00:40,190
areas from start to drop toll.

796
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,020
We also do is to be able to put in a drip system that will allow them to actually

797
01:00:46,020 --> 01:00:46,760
apply the necessary

798
01:00:50,860 --> 01:00:52,080
lipstick state and then

799
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,060
in a rebate. That's

800
01:01:05,670 --> 01:01:07,750
all what you can't do. There's a section in it that

801
01:01:07,750 --> 01:01:08,870
will allow you to click to

802
01:01:20,100 --> 01:01:23,820
say it's now the exciting part. So I'm very happy that

803
01:01:35,790 --> 01:01:39,370
a particular process will let you

804
01:01:39,370 --> 01:01:46,810
Thank you, but Tammy's done all the hard work working with the staff. She's done a great job, really.

805
01:01:47,610 --> 01:01:57,710
One of the things that Tammy and our landscaping parking proposed is that we kick off almost like a pilot.

806
01:01:57,710 --> 01:02:00,490
of sorts with some of our smaller parks.

807
01:02:02,930 --> 01:02:07,430
They went through to the long time to really go through all the

808
01:02:07,430 --> 01:02:12,730
all the parks determine what type of equipment we have to determine what kind of

809
01:02:12,730 --> 01:02:18,090
re-date we might be able to get. And so we're calling this phase one something that we hope to

810
01:02:18,090 --> 01:02:25,930
get accomplished by Q1 of 2022 and these are the three parks that we're proposing and we're placing

811
01:02:25,930 --> 01:02:32,530
with various type of equipment that tell water provides and so on the far right side is

812
01:02:32,530 --> 01:02:37,550
the estimated total rebate that the city of Carson would get and right now we're in the

813
01:02:37,550 --> 01:02:44,970
process of figuring out how long and who actually would be doing the work but it's quite a bit

814
01:02:44,970 --> 01:02:52,190
of money and that's just the rebate money it doesn't necessarily present the money that we would

815
01:02:52,190 --> 01:03:00,630
for water. But this slide actually presents the rest of the parts. And again, it was our staff,

816
01:03:00,790 --> 01:03:06,330
who went through and figured out all the different equipment that we have, and how much rebate

817
01:03:07,490 --> 01:03:15,630
Tammy's program per closes. And we're looking at almost 70,000 or over 70,000 actually. So

818
01:03:15,630 --> 01:03:24,770
pretty exciting just to see this and what it actually means. So that's, we think we're looking

819
01:03:24,770 --> 01:03:34,270
at Q2 and 3, 2022. And then finally I just wanted to put a little bit of context and again

820
01:03:34,270 --> 01:03:40,850
this is standing in her team helping us put this all together. So this is really what is on the

821
01:03:40,850 --> 01:03:47,010
side is where we just forgot our parks and it's just interesting to know it doesn't

822
01:03:47,010 --> 01:03:53,670
include city hall and to many other places but just our parks we spend $1.2 million

823
01:03:54,510 --> 01:04:00,210
or we did spend $1.2 million over five years. So there's money there that we can

824
01:04:00,210 --> 01:04:07,450
say by putting this in and at a minimum we do want to meet the governor's goal to decrease

825
01:04:07,450 --> 01:04:15,190
15 percent. I'll turn it back to you. Thank you, Eliza. So one thing I would like to know is on this

826
01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:19,870
particular side of the sea that says non-residential water consumption. And I just want to

827
01:04:19,870 --> 01:04:27,870
make sure that everybody is aware of what one CF on the water bill equates to. So one CF is actually

828
01:04:27,870 --> 01:04:33,770
one hundred cubic feet of water and it's seven hundred and forty eight gallons per one cubic,

829
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:37,980
you know, one can

830
01:04:40,450 --> 01:04:41,550
actually utilize.

831
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,320
So if you just, depending on the number of

832
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:52,020
assumptions that you have, or the units, like I just went up here for Anderson Park,

833
01:04:52,340 --> 01:04:58,760
if you were to say 121 units that was built just times that by 748 and that tells you how many

834
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:04,580
gallons were used during that period. So we just really wanted to give you a perspective on

835
01:05:04,580 --> 01:05:09,580
how much water that is. Now mind you, these parks are large. They use a lot of water. So

836
01:05:09,580 --> 01:05:13,260
by no means for not trying to highlight that as a negative, we just want to make sure

837
01:05:13,260 --> 01:05:18,540
that everybody is aware of what it takes to be able to understand the billing as well

838
01:05:18,540 --> 01:05:20,220
as what these parks actually.

839
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:29,860
And so here we have a life and I have kind of been working on a little idea that we are

840
01:05:29,860 --> 01:05:30,980
kind of proposing.

841
01:05:31,780 --> 01:05:36,680
You have a great deal of area that is over at the city hall.

842
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:42,160
And so this is an overview of the city hall and the city hall and the city hall and the

843
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,140
that's on this side as you lead over to the community center.

844
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:51,100
But what we wanted to highlight was just that there's some IREs opportunity for improvement

845
01:05:51,100 --> 01:05:56,160
in this particular area and really be able to showcase, you know, you guys put your best

846
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,080
foot forward and show it.

847
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:02,940
One of the residents, you know, what it takes to be able to have a drop-tolerant landscape as

848
01:06:02,940 --> 01:06:06,800
well as the efficient and still has something that you, you know, that's nice to look

849
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,700
at as well, because we know a lot of people are concerned with not wanting cacti and things

850
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:14,040
like that, just in their yard or gravel and dirt.

851
01:06:14,820 --> 01:06:15,980
So one of the things that allows,

852
01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:17,780
and I have been working on is, you know,

853
01:06:17,900 --> 01:06:21,260
just making sure that we are offering our programs

854
01:06:21,820 --> 01:06:23,820
to offset costs for the installation

855
01:06:23,820 --> 01:06:25,520
of whether we have irrigation controllers.

856
01:06:26,060 --> 01:06:28,760
I'm setting why, consistency making sure

857
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,900
that all of your facilities have the ability

858
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:34,400
to turn off when there's rain, make sure that it, you know,

859
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,080
will turn off or give a notification if there is a leak

860
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:37,940
of some sort.

861
01:06:38,220 --> 01:06:40,480
Also give you the ability of turning off the system remotely

862
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:46,000
if for some reason, there's an issue or a break or something is happening, it gives you the

863
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,020
ability to you have a little bit more control over the water and you suggest those locations

864
01:06:50,020 --> 01:06:55,780
by adding these types of controllers. The other thing is, it's just really looking at upgrading

865
01:06:55,780 --> 01:07:02,440
the inefficient devices, parks, they get very heavy use from your residents and then sometimes

866
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:07,020
you know, the items we're installed a long time ago, I know I personally don't think to change

867
01:07:07,020 --> 01:07:11,680
things out if they're not broken, so one of the things that aligns when I look at it is

868
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:18,160
kind of what can we do? How can we utilize our programs to be more water-wise in the city?

869
01:07:18,780 --> 01:07:23,380
And so this is just kind of an idea that it's from an iron tent, so I'm really, really hope

870
01:07:23,380 --> 01:07:29,000
that this is something that can move forward. But I wanted to give you some ideas of photos

871
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,960
of what that potentially looks like.

872
01:07:33,110 --> 01:07:35,910
So this area right here, these pictures are provided

873
01:07:35,910 --> 01:07:37,530
by Eliza, which we're great.

874
01:07:37,550 --> 01:07:38,790
I have never even seen this area.

875
01:07:38,910 --> 01:07:41,390
This is actually located over at LAX.

876
01:07:42,330 --> 01:07:44,030
And they've actually retrofitted an area

877
01:07:44,030 --> 01:07:45,310
that looks really great.

878
01:07:46,230 --> 01:07:48,270
And very low water use, but also

879
01:07:48,270 --> 01:07:51,250
allows for walking paths and lots of different colors,

880
01:07:51,490 --> 01:07:53,210
which is very unique.

881
01:07:53,910 --> 01:07:55,210
A lot, like I said, a lot of people think

882
01:07:55,210 --> 01:07:56,070
that it's all about tactile.

883
01:07:56,410 --> 01:07:56,910
And it's not.

884
01:07:57,050 --> 01:07:58,470
There's a lot of great materials

885
01:07:58,470 --> 01:08:00,250
that you can put out there to add that

886
01:08:00,250 --> 01:08:03,590
three-dimensional in the colors that you're writing for.

887
01:08:05,060 --> 01:08:12,180
This here is also just another example of some other areas that were designed and put

888
01:08:12,180 --> 01:08:16,660
in the place that that way you can kind of visually get an idea of what those particular

889
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:20,920
areas are that are very large photographs that really just aren't being used.

890
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:25,140
And how there's the possibility of maybe even doing a demonstration garden to really

891
01:08:25,140 --> 01:08:26,540
set the example for your residence.

892
01:08:28,900 --> 01:08:30,280
And this is just another fun for us.

893
01:08:30,340 --> 01:08:36,100
Well, you can see here this is a DGN gravel that they put in here as like a walking town.

894
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:39,620
So those are areas that you would also be able to do over there at the city health.

895
01:08:39,940 --> 01:08:45,200
But like I said, it was just something we're kind of throwing out there and the, you know,

896
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:50,740
the partnership has been great and a lives and I really looking forward to making a difference

897
01:08:50,740 --> 01:08:55,540
and really being able to help your residents understand, you know, water-wide landscaping.

898
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:03,240
And this is my contact information as well as Angie Gilbright and Ralph Bailey, who I'm

899
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,460
for you all that we're aware of.

900
01:09:05,900 --> 01:09:09,660
Thank you again for allowing me to come back

901
01:09:10,300 --> 01:09:12,260
and from our last time that we were here

902
01:09:12,260 --> 01:09:16,500
and to give us an July, we've been doing really good work

903
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:17,540
with partnering with you guys.

904
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,300
And we look forward to being able to do a lot more presentations

905
01:09:20,300 --> 01:09:22,440
like this to be able to show the residents

906
01:09:22,440 --> 01:09:24,720
to know what we're doing to make the difference together.

907
01:09:27,350 --> 01:09:29,870
I have a question, Madam Mayor, for time.

908
01:09:30,450 --> 01:09:30,630
OK.

909
01:09:31,110 --> 01:09:32,770
Yeah, Tammy, thanks for the presentations.

910
01:09:32,770 --> 01:09:38,770
that very, very interesting and educational, that dog looks like he's cooperating there.

911
01:09:40,450 --> 01:09:49,350
So, I know that Southern California gas company has a program where if people have an issue

912
01:09:49,350 --> 01:09:58,650
with their home or even a business with their gas line, they'll come out for free and if utilities,

913
01:09:59,250 --> 01:10:07,190
Yes, yes, utilities turned off, they'll come and make sure it's turned back on safely by that lights are safe and so forth

914
01:10:07,190 --> 01:10:13,490
So along that that line that principle applying it to water. I've noticed so over the years

915
01:10:13,490 --> 01:10:20,330
I've often visited either people's homes or a business where they have a dripping faucet

916
01:10:21,890 --> 01:10:24,590
and it seems to me that a faucet that's dripping

917
01:10:24,590 --> 01:10:26,330
24-7

918
01:10:26,990 --> 01:10:32,590
could be a little waste of a lot of water because it's constant, it doesn't stop.

919
01:10:33,710 --> 01:10:44,250
Yeah, so do you have any programs with your company that could help residents that maybe have that issue?

920
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:49,050
I know that I had a different faucet and I kept changing the washers.

921
01:10:49,050 --> 01:10:53,110
And eventually, even though I've put new washers in,

922
01:10:53,590 --> 01:10:56,930
maybe after the third time, it started leaking again,

923
01:10:57,450 --> 01:10:59,050
I just bought a new faucet.

924
01:11:00,030 --> 01:11:01,230
And you place the whole thing.

925
01:11:02,250 --> 01:11:06,650
So do you have any programs to intervene in either homes or businesses

926
01:11:06,650 --> 01:11:08,850
in Carson or throughout your area?

927
01:11:09,790 --> 01:11:13,810
That could help along the line of these rebates.

928
01:11:13,950 --> 01:11:16,710
And I see you have something about report leaks and waste.

929
01:11:16,710 --> 01:11:24,070
But how about actually replacing the the valves themselves?

930
01:11:24,650 --> 01:11:29,510
So currently we have conservation kits that are available for all of our customers.

931
01:11:30,110 --> 01:11:34,330
And what those conservation kits and tailors say have a shower head as well.

932
01:11:34,770 --> 01:11:39,690
And it's about the mariner, a teaching narrator and a shut-off hose nozzle as well.

933
01:11:40,110 --> 01:11:45,990
So our customers are able to go online and they would just go to the conservation kits section.

934
01:11:45,990 --> 01:11:51,770
So a lot of the application and then we will actually mail them a box with all of those items in there.

935
01:11:52,150 --> 01:11:56,890
At this time, we do not have a direct install where we would go out and actually do the installation,

936
01:11:57,410 --> 01:12:05,590
but we do have several videos that are available on YouTube of how to do those types of minor plumbing items.

937
01:12:06,270 --> 01:12:11,750
If a customer has an irrigation system that is problematic,

938
01:12:12,330 --> 01:12:19,070
We do have a smart landscape tuna program, and what that entails is if they sign up for that program,

939
01:12:19,090 --> 01:12:25,730
we will actually send out a contractor to come out and evaluate their current landscape irrigation system,

940
01:12:25,870 --> 01:12:31,410
as well as their controller and really be able to identify if there's any problematic areas

941
01:12:31,410 --> 01:12:34,370
and what are we seeing and things that they can address.

942
01:12:35,190 --> 01:12:40,130
Once the evaluator goes out and does study evaluation, see come back to us with the recommendations

943
01:12:40,130 --> 01:12:44,690
And with those recommendations, we contact the customer to let them know.

944
01:12:45,030 --> 01:12:46,430
Here's what the recommendations are.

945
01:12:46,450 --> 01:12:51,450
Do you approve for us to come back out there and to install these devices free of charge?

946
01:12:51,790 --> 01:12:54,070
And then we would go out there and wait for some coverage for them.

947
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:57,810
A lot of times what it is, this matter of changing the irrigation novels.

948
01:12:58,290 --> 01:13:05,110
They may be older and inefficient or broken, and so that we would install new efficient items as well.

949
01:13:05,110 --> 01:13:07,290
if you have an old outfit, a controller,

950
01:13:07,830 --> 01:13:10,910
we're also offering the Ratchee of 3,

951
01:13:11,010 --> 01:13:12,310
whether based irrigation controllers,

952
01:13:12,510 --> 01:13:17,390
which will allow customers to really have hands on a billet gift,

953
01:13:17,530 --> 01:13:19,950
adjusting and knowing what their controller is doing,

954
01:13:20,090 --> 01:13:20,970
have a tip of their fingers.

955
01:13:21,970 --> 01:13:25,730
So just again to reiterate, we iterated.

956
01:13:27,030 --> 01:13:28,890
The residents can go to your website

957
01:13:28,890 --> 01:13:32,330
and get all this information that you presented tonight.

958
01:13:32,910 --> 01:13:37,090
Okay, I can confirm that. Thank you very much. Very good presentation.

959
01:13:37,970 --> 01:13:39,790
Absolutely. Thank you very much for your time.

960
01:13:40,610 --> 01:13:44,210
Thank you very much. Any questions from anyone else?

961
01:13:44,470 --> 01:13:45,690
Madam Mayor. Yes.

962
01:13:46,470 --> 01:13:47,790
I did have a question.

963
01:13:48,190 --> 01:13:52,910
Probably for Tammy and maybe to realize it changed through the city manager in regards to our

964
01:13:53,850 --> 01:13:54,990
meetings in our city.

965
01:13:55,290 --> 01:13:57,510
Where are we at and doing the reclaimed water?

966
01:13:57,810 --> 01:14:00,950
And I saw they had some reclaimed water in your presentation, Tammy?

967
01:14:01,790 --> 01:14:11,950
You know, I did not have to claim well actually that's not true, yes, but we're a few line items where there's some parts that were changed over to reclaim, so yes, I needed to step back a little bit.

968
01:14:13,430 --> 01:14:18,370
But I'll defer to Sharon on the particular medium and.

969
01:14:18,610 --> 01:14:26,770
Well, I was straight up by saying that we're very interested in partnering with Cal Water on getting those.

970
01:14:26,770 --> 01:14:33,850
We cycles pipes in our meetings and I will have to say that it's something I took up

971
01:14:33,850 --> 01:14:42,990
pre-early on before even Eliza Jenga here and how water has not been open to partnering

972
01:14:42,990 --> 01:14:43,950
with us on that.

973
01:14:44,150 --> 01:14:50,730
So maybe they'll take another look based on the drought that we've been having and we continue

974
01:14:50,730 --> 01:14:57,030
year after year, the amount of money that can be saved and water. The amount of water that

975
01:14:57,030 --> 01:14:59,950
can be saved through a program that will help us.

976
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:09,360
Those kinds of pipes recycling would be enormously helpful to us. I'm not obliged to do that. I don't know if you when it's anything since you've been here.

977
01:15:10,060 --> 01:15:24,160
The other thing I would add is in our current CIP, we have a plan to do a recycled water master plan, when we look at the possibilities for putting recycled water. Tim, I believe you can't water works with west basin.

978
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:29,240
And what's best is the premiere of the Recycle Water I believe for this region.

979
01:15:30,020 --> 01:15:34,560
So we would have to work with them and figure out how that might occur.

980
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:39,160
You know, Eliza Jane, through the City Manager of Sharon Landers,

981
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:45,360
what's best and minutes for Water District has worked with the city previously before Eliza

982
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,420
you came on board.

983
01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:57,700
Unfortunately, the previous city manager didn't pay very well, he really fumbled the wall

984
01:15:57,700 --> 01:16:03,080
amount when and it became a big financial disaster for the city and they actually went to

985
01:16:03,420 --> 01:16:09,040
the West Basin wanted them to save them at the city's mistake. This was really odd thing on

986
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,440
thing I know you're not going to do something like that but it is West Basin also that working with

987
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:19,080
water to help with reclaimed water, the purple pipes, and in fact, in a

988
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,340
characteristic order, we had the purple pipes installed, and that's where the

989
01:16:23,340 --> 01:16:28,060
mistake was made. Essentially, the contract that bit on the project was not

990
01:16:28,060 --> 01:16:33,640
given the proper information by the city government, the city of Carson, and so

991
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:38,120
they bit on the project, given the information that they had, and then found out

992
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:45,500
across the car's and street. There were pipelines not told. And so instead of

993
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:49,820
varying the purple pipe, three feet down, it had the very, the purple pipe

994
01:16:49,820 --> 01:16:55,540
six to eight feet down caused a lot more money to do something like that. Not just

995
01:16:55,540 --> 01:16:59,300
because of the trench depth, but also because I understand when you're very

996
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:08,100
pipe steeper, you have a different engineering process and configuration of the

997
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:15,940
I really am a believer in avoiding problems like that, preventing them and so I think a better

998
01:17:15,940 --> 01:17:21,500
communication like you do is much more appropriate than the mistakes the city made in the past.

999
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,580
Thank you, didn't we just cut that off?

1000
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:26,600
That would do.

1001
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:28,100
Yeah, you're right.

1002
01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:28,540
What happened?

1003
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:36,060
This was a purple pipe all the way, the whole length, but they got to mainstream and stop.

1004
01:17:36,060 --> 01:17:43,880
to stop because it's all about money, you know, you recall, you were on the city council,

1005
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,140
when the city manager tried to blame the water company.

1006
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,080
Right, right.

1007
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:50,380
You're his own mistakes.

1008
01:17:51,260 --> 01:17:52,760
And we don't do that anymore.

1009
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:53,480
Yeah.

1010
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,300
They wanted to chair up the street.

1011
01:17:55,580 --> 01:17:56,120
We'd lay it.

1012
01:17:56,220 --> 01:17:56,980
We said no.

1013
01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:58,300
I'll do that.

1014
01:17:59,980 --> 01:18:04,560
Actually, I will make sure that I will be in contact with you so that we can tickle

1015
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:09,700
to that as well. And I do want to let you know that with our removal program for the

1016
01:18:09,700 --> 01:18:14,840
one, we are looking with a lens on areas with an amenias where you would be removing

1017
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:20,560
that and not necessarily needing to put in that 50% plant material because we know that in

1018
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:27,760
amenias it's not really necessary to have that much plant space. So I look forward to being able

1019
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:32,460
to set up a meeting with you in a row and we can plant space in and see what we can do to move

1020
01:18:32,460 --> 01:18:34,680
this over did I in a positive manner?

1021
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:35,800
Thank you.

1022
01:18:35,980 --> 01:18:39,680
Madam Mayor, picking back on that, my concern and my request

1023
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,860
is that I talked about this before,

1024
01:18:42,620 --> 01:18:44,080
that I think is out of Indian wells,

1025
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,520
whether they have their medians done at a certain plant base,

1026
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:48,960
but it's a certain look that they have.

1027
01:18:48,980 --> 01:18:51,560
And I think I talked just to the city manager sometime back,

1028
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:53,920
that that is the look I was looking for

1029
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:55,620
for us to have within our medians

1030
01:18:55,620 --> 01:18:57,940
if we're going through this drought tolerant look.

1031
01:18:58,220 --> 01:19:00,360
And I don't want us to get to the point

1032
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:07,580
we look real skimpy but I wanted to look beefy enough that you were in a beautiful city with

1033
01:19:07,580 --> 01:19:12,320
because I said your median dictates the rest of your city. And if your median is a shabby,

1034
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:16,700
your city looks shabby. So I just want to make sure that we keep that in mind.

1035
01:19:17,740 --> 01:19:22,560
You certainly mentioned that and Elizen Jna and I are very well aware and this will be a good time

1036
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:29,120
potentially to get something moving forward in that regard. Elizen Jna says Disneyland.

1037
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:31,860
I'm not going to forget that.

1038
01:19:32,100 --> 01:19:33,240
You can go out, Hilton.

1039
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:34,260
That's a lot of honor.

1040
01:19:34,420 --> 01:19:37,100
I want to Disneyland too.

1041
01:19:37,620 --> 01:19:40,780
We also have an expert on our staff, not only

1042
01:19:40,780 --> 01:19:42,000
with the Elijah James,

1043
01:19:45,060 --> 01:19:46,300
but his name just

1044
01:19:46,300 --> 01:19:48,840
fills me just for, oh no, Robert Linux.

1045
01:19:49,620 --> 01:19:54,040
He did a project in Minifey.

1046
01:19:54,220 --> 01:19:58,660
What reclaimed water when he was working in Minifey

1047
01:19:58,660 --> 01:20:04,500
that helped, you know, with the medians and all of those things, and we have someone on our

1048
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:09,260
staff that possibly get to talk to you, Elijah Jane and Sharon, and let's try to see how we

1049
01:20:09,260 --> 01:20:15,160
can work it out, and we want that we want Disneyland and Carson, though. We need some attractions

1050
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:20,380
at this present moment, you know? I'm going to put Robert Linux on the spot since he is in the meeting.

1051
01:20:20,700 --> 01:20:25,000
Robert is in accurate that you have an expertise that we want to call upon?

1052
01:20:26,380 --> 01:20:27,860
Yeah, I'd be happy to help.

1053
01:20:28,020 --> 01:20:31,560
I did do a project through what was Eastern Ministers,

1054
01:20:31,580 --> 01:20:33,320
which are Western Ministers of Water Districts,

1055
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,900
and in an empire, about $2 million worth in.

1056
01:20:37,100 --> 01:20:41,940
It was a mix of converting non-functional turf and mediums and parks,

1057
01:20:42,140 --> 01:20:47,240
as well as a purple pipe, non-potable irrigation for different areas of the city.

1058
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:48,680
So yeah, I'd be happy to help.

1059
01:20:48,860 --> 01:20:50,820
Perfect, thank you.

1060
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,460
You guys are all under one department.

1061
01:20:56,380 --> 01:20:58,660
Okay, any more comments or questions?

1062
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,060
Thank you for that wonderful presentation.

1063
01:21:05,020 --> 01:21:06,560
Our next is item number 14.

1064
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,400
Recognition from various industries and agencies in the city of course,

1065
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,700
compliance with the law-centered locality, sanitation,

1066
01:21:14,580 --> 01:21:18,180
water waste, discharge requirements for 20, 20.

1067
01:21:18,180 --> 01:21:27,160
And for this one Mayor and council, I believe we have Basil Hewitt, who is a PIO over the Los Angeles County Sanitation District.

1068
01:21:27,940 --> 01:21:31,560
Basil, I see you who is going to help us out with this.

1069
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:37,340
And you may have some other people that you want to be introduced, but I know that we,

1070
01:21:37,540 --> 01:21:42,980
the mayor was very interested in giving recognition to companies in the city that have been working with you.

1071
01:21:42,980 --> 01:21:47,300
So if you can't introduce the item and introduce your colleague, that would be terrific.

1072
01:21:47,300 --> 01:21:50,840
Good evening, Madam Mayor and City Council members.

1073
01:21:52,440 --> 01:21:53,640
Yeah, I'm going to be brief.

1074
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,300
The real expert, Basil Hewitt with the Sanitation Districts.

1075
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,740
The real expert on this item is Jody Banaji.

1076
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,420
She's an engineer in our industrial waste department.

1077
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,380
She doesn't look at, but she's pretty tough.

1078
01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:11,140
She makes sure people follow the appropriate permit requirements

1079
01:22:11,140 --> 01:22:13,800
to make sure our treatment plans keep functioning.

1080
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:19,760
And so she's here to recognize some of the best actors in terms of industry and the

1081
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:20,440
city of Carson.

1082
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:26,540
So I'll turn it over to Joty to talk about the corporate good citizens award.

1083
01:22:27,860 --> 01:22:29,300
Thank you very much, Lou.

1084
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,180
I'm a multivariate group.

1085
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:32,960
Yes, you are.

1086
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:33,800
We're going to hear you.

1087
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:34,780
Great.

1088
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:35,440
Good evening.

1089
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,720
Madam Mayor and security council members.

1090
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:46,260
The Los Angeles Southeast Sanitation District have a special certificate of recognition program for the industrial waste dischargers.

1091
01:22:46,940 --> 01:22:55,660
Each calendar year, this program honors industries that have been improved compliance with the Sanitation District's industrial waste requirements.

1092
01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:06,540
This is the 25th year of the program and it has served to encourage industries to need or exceed regulatory requirements while protecting the environment.

1093
01:23:06,540 --> 01:23:13,440
over 30 of these companies located in the city of Carson to see if this certificate in 2020.

1094
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:21,200
I believe there was a slight that shows the names of these companies.

1095
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:34,140
And I think the city of Carson is also planning to send additional certificates in addition to the ones sent by Los Angeles Foundation districts to these companies.

1096
01:23:34,980 --> 01:23:50,020
Approximately 10 of these facilities have received this certificate for five or more consecutive years which is commendable because it's not easy to maintain a permit with all local state and federal requirements.

1097
01:23:50,020 --> 01:23:57,860
All these companies have worked diligently and cooperatively with sanitation districts in protecting the public health and environment.

1098
01:23:58,860 --> 01:24:04,280
I thank these companies for their commitment and look forward to working with them in the future.

1099
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:12,840
The sanitation districts also hope that in the coming years many more industries in the city of Carson will be receiving this certificate.

1100
01:24:13,300 --> 01:24:14,320
Thank you.

1101
01:24:16,970 --> 01:24:23,970
Yeah, Jote, there were so many great companies and thank you for displaying them right now.

1102
01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:26,850
Yes, that's nice to see you. It's light.

1103
01:24:28,550 --> 01:24:30,150
Yeah, that's a lot of companies, thank you.

1104
01:24:31,310 --> 01:24:32,090
You're welcome.

1105
01:24:35,770 --> 01:24:37,350
Any comments for my colleagues?

1106
01:24:38,670 --> 01:24:40,790
Beth, did you have anything else to add?

1107
01:24:41,110 --> 01:24:48,410
No, we at your request, we wanted to highlight the 30 companies and introduce the one in charge of that program

1108
01:24:48,410 --> 01:24:52,430
in our industrial way, section, and Jochi works closely

1109
01:24:52,430 --> 01:24:56,450
with industries to make sure they're doing the right thing

1110
01:24:56,450 --> 01:24:57,770
and they want to do the right thing.

1111
01:24:58,010 --> 01:25:02,530
And it's great of the city to recognize these folks.

1112
01:25:02,750 --> 01:25:05,110
Yeah, Sharon, did we send anything to these companies?

1113
01:25:07,940 --> 01:25:10,720
Here I believe that it is their intent is just

1114
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,040
said to get something to them.

1115
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,340
I don't know if they've gotten to them already.

1116
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:17,920
Michael can answer that.

1117
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:19,980
But I know that we do plans to do that.

1118
01:25:19,980 --> 01:25:25,040
Okay, that's fine. Okay. Thank you so much. Any comments from my colleagues?

1119
01:25:27,380 --> 01:25:32,360
Okay. Well, thank you very much for that presentation and it's always good seeing you.

1120
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:37,480
Good to see you so much. Have a great evening. Thank you.

1121
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:44,960
That concludes our presentation. We will go to all communications for matters listed on the agenda.

1122
01:25:46,700 --> 01:25:49,900
Kevin, do we have any queue up for matters listed on the agenda?

1123
01:25:49,900 --> 01:26:00,900
We have two mayor or those like the third just came in, but we have two Rick Toledo, but it was the council for public comments.

1124
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,120
If there's only a low, hi.

1125
01:26:05,540 --> 01:26:14,280
Yes, hello, hello city council and great city of Carson Rick Toledo, long time I was here for the environment.

1126
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:20,180
I have just been elected to the Commissioner of the Environmental Commission, so I'm very happy to

1127
01:26:20,180 --> 01:26:25,120
say that we are working on our priorities, and some of them have to deal with the city projects

1128
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:26,360
for item 17.

1129
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:32,800
Specifically, we want to see the beautification project in full comprehensive mode.

1130
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:38,500
And by that I mean all the mediums that you've addressed tonight to talk about a drop

1131
01:26:38,500 --> 01:26:40,440
friendly, we need to do more than that.

1132
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:45,260
We need to actually plant native plants and attractive plants like they have another beautiful

1133
01:26:45,260 --> 01:26:49,640
cities like in Hermosa and Manhattan if you've been to their mediums you'll see they

1134
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,360
cultivate and they're drought-friendly.

1135
01:26:52,820 --> 01:27:00,160
We also would like to suggest and remind that the city manager ends to Elijah that, you

1136
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,040
know, as of today, we have not heard.

1137
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:07,160
I have not heard on my emails and on my follow-up request regarding the slurries and district

1138
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:14,020
two and district four, as well as the pavements and also the potholes. If you look at all the

1139
01:27:14,020 --> 01:27:20,380
main veins, two, 20 is from figure out, all the way to Avalon, two, 23rd, all the way to what

1140
01:27:20,380 --> 01:27:25,300
from figure out the Avalon, you'll see what I'm talking about and we're very neglectful in that

1141
01:27:25,300 --> 01:27:30,100
respect. We should have that a top priority, along with planting of trees. I know we're going to

1142
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:34,400
be doing good at the occasion, so on everybody's minds, well let's get busy and let's start playing

1143
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:43,500
trees now. Also on the street sweeping issue when it comes to your projects, if trees are

1144
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:48,480
overhanging, street sweepers are missing and not being able to switch street sweep properly

1145
01:27:48,480 --> 01:27:54,820
the residents home. So we've got to be cognizant in cut those trees. We also have the

1146
01:27:54,820 --> 01:28:00,740
ticketing staff have given tickets to members. The street sweeper has not even come by yet.

1147
01:28:00,740 --> 01:28:06,400
So we've got to remind them not to take it residents until after the street sweeper has passed their house.

1148
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:12,040
Also, I'd like to remind you, you know, on the, on the projects,

1149
01:28:12,700 --> 01:28:17,820
AQ and D has a meeting on the level of 9-1, a letter from the city's carship,

1150
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:24,740
our commission of discuss this, and we all concur that we have to get a response in by this week.

1151
01:28:24,740 --> 01:28:29,680
and soldiers of the city manager. I hope and pray that they have gotten this

1152
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:33,120
point and they have worked on it. It's been out there for a while now. We're doing

1153
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,780
our individuals, but we do want something coming from the city because it does affect our

1154
01:28:36,780 --> 01:28:41,840
refineries. When it comes to that rule, which is the catalytic converters that can bring out

1155
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:48,650
more pollution. I'd be, I'd be remiss if I didn't say congratulations to our new

1156
01:28:48,650 --> 01:28:55,310
Council member Arlene Rojas, who has just been elected duly yesterday. We're so proud of that and we

1157
01:28:55,310 --> 01:29:01,450
looked proud we look forward to having her served with the city. I know she'll do a great job regarding all issues.

1158
01:29:02,170 --> 01:29:07,790
It's specifically the city projects that have been neglected too long and too too much in the south area.

1159
01:29:08,430 --> 01:29:13,730
We should be top priority throughout the city and I'm saying this because our street right here is pitiful.

1160
01:29:13,730 --> 01:29:14,250
Please second.

1161
01:29:14,530 --> 01:29:14,730
Madam.

1162
01:29:15,350 --> 01:29:15,370
Madam.

1163
01:29:15,550 --> 01:29:17,190
It's all big.

1164
01:29:17,510 --> 01:29:17,730
Pardon.

1165
01:29:18,410 --> 01:29:18,530
Pardon?

1166
01:29:19,030 --> 01:29:19,310
Pardon?

1167
01:29:19,870 --> 01:29:20,150
It's fine.

1168
01:29:20,430 --> 01:29:20,470
It's fine.

1169
01:29:20,490 --> 01:29:21,590
It's fine.

1170
01:29:22,290 --> 01:29:24,790
Thank you.

1171
01:29:24,830 --> 01:29:26,150
Who's next in the queue?

1172
01:29:26,770 --> 01:29:28,830
Next we have William Cones.

1173
01:29:29,550 --> 01:29:31,850
Please, it starts six in the dressing room.

1174
01:29:33,940 --> 01:29:34,160
Hello.

1175
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:35,220
Can you hear me?

1176
01:29:35,380 --> 01:29:35,640
Yes.

1177
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:35,960
We can.

1178
01:29:37,480 --> 01:29:38,000
Hi.

1179
01:29:38,460 --> 01:29:42,300
I'd like to speak on item six, which is the polluted.

1180
01:29:43,300 --> 01:29:46,820
being a panel. Firstly,

1181
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:54,460
we had a press conference today, not we, but Jesse Mark has

1182
01:29:54,460 --> 01:29:59,960
group, and his opinion is.

1183
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:11,860
And what he's doing is he's asking the National Environmental Protection Agency EPA to step in and help us out in that regard.

1184
01:30:12,060 --> 01:30:25,180
I wish the city would do the same. We need more help than this regard for the state and especially the county is not going to work this out. I think it's going to take more than that to help us out.

1185
01:30:25,180 --> 01:30:31,380
Now, the second thing I have is there's a water sample that was taken by ESA Polito.

1186
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:41,800
He was given to Wallace Laboratories. Dr. Wallace is a noted chemist in this area.

1187
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:47,820
He says, this water we have contains sulfate from the C.C. water.

1188
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:53,580
And when it hits organic matter, the sulfate becomes sulfide.

1189
01:30:53,580 --> 01:30:59,440
So the real solution, when there's no oxygen there, or whether it's low in oxygen.

1190
01:31:00,380 --> 01:31:02,140
So our real solution is too full.

1191
01:31:02,500 --> 01:31:08,300
Remove the organic matter or whatever is in there, that's combining with and putting

1192
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:09,320
in more oxygen.

1193
01:31:10,300 --> 01:31:11,480
So how do we do that?

1194
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:23,560
First of all, the oxidation or what the county is doing, spraying the chemical on the layer

1195
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:29,420
top layer of the water is very short term effect. That's what Eden says in here. It's a short

1196
01:31:29,420 --> 01:31:34,320
term effect. It's not going to last very long. So that water's going to move along and now you

1197
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:41,380
have a new top layer. So that is not a good solution in this case. It's a temporary solution

1198
01:31:41,380 --> 01:31:47,360
last a couple days. And then it goes away. And that's what we really see. We had a low amount

1199
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:54,380
now it's getting you going back again. So what what can we do? Okay. What what what what

1200
01:31:54,380 --> 01:32:02,100
the fish fonds use farmers with fish fonds use a paddle wheel it's called a paddle wheel

1201
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:10,020
turns the water around like like the the Mississippi coast they were you know one with paddle

1202
01:32:10,020 --> 01:32:12,260
We're at Terry's parking list.

1203
01:32:12,260 --> 01:32:13,620
They're just in the zone.

1204
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:21,740
Did he go wrong?

1205
01:32:21,820 --> 01:32:23,440
It looks like we lost him there.

1206
01:32:24,060 --> 01:32:24,600
Okay.

1207
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:26,300
Speaking of cue.

1208
01:32:26,820 --> 01:32:27,860
Hey Liz Foisia.

1209
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:28,940
Are you there?

1210
01:32:29,340 --> 01:32:30,620
This is Star 6.

1211
01:32:31,420 --> 01:32:32,580
If you want to give a public comment.

1212
01:32:33,480 --> 01:32:33,920
Okay.

1213
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:35,040
Okay.

1214
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:35,300
Hello.

1215
01:32:35,820 --> 01:32:36,200
Hi.

1216
01:32:36,980 --> 01:32:37,560
Oh hi.

1217
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:38,660
Okay.

1218
01:32:38,980 --> 01:32:41,600
I wish to speak on item number six.

1219
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:51,120
Yeah, you know, the county that county public works rep came across very pompous and rude.

1220
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,460
I think you just wasted council's time and insulted the residents.

1221
01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:03,640
You know, we've been getting the same thing over and over from the county and you know,

1222
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:10,600
issue wonder are Carson residents top liver. What happens to the independent investigation that

1223
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:17,180
Councilman Nilson requested? And I feel that we need that because the county obviously thinks

1224
01:33:17,180 --> 01:33:24,900
we're not a priority even though we're in an emergency crisis. So, and I really think Mayor

1225
01:33:24,900 --> 01:33:30,940
that you should have managed that public works rep. I think he was rude in the way he answered

1226
01:33:30,940 --> 01:33:37,520
you and the council, especially when he keeps saying, oh, just, you know, just refer to this

1227
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:38,300
number or whatever.

1228
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:43,580
I mean, that's why he came on, you know, to give us some answers, not to just, you know,

1229
01:33:43,620 --> 01:33:45,420
sweep it under the rug so to speak.

1230
01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:53,020
So I think he should be admonished for giving such a poor presentation and, and I want to ask

1231
01:33:53,020 --> 01:33:58,760
him what, what is the excellent conduit that he's referring to from the city manager.

1232
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,260
Residents have been given the run around, they get instructions.

1233
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:07,080
Thousands have already been helped. Okay, well what about the other thousands? Like myself.

1234
01:34:07,740 --> 01:34:12,440
I know firsthand the hoops. We have had to jump through just to get some decent info.

1235
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:17,520
So I want to ask is there a system in place to determine who gets help first?

1236
01:34:17,740 --> 01:34:22,580
Or is it who you know or who likes you? I mean, you know, this is really bad.

1237
01:34:22,780 --> 01:34:26,180
The city of Carson residents are getting too little too late.

1238
01:34:26,180 --> 01:34:34,560
So, maybe the city manager should move to Carson and live by the Mingus Channel so she can experience first hand what we're going through.

1239
01:34:34,820 --> 01:34:35,520
Thank you.

1240
01:34:35,820 --> 01:34:41,220
Well, Liz, we have, we've instructed our city manager just to let you know if he didn't hear us.

1241
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:47,360
A lawsuit, a civil lawsuit, and we've been moving forward because we didn't like the answers either.

1242
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:59,300
You know, I really, I grew to hold hardly, we've also had instructed staff to hire an outside investigator, and also we will be as a part of the states and environmental protection agency.

1243
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:05,620
So we've been getting the honor of what we're tired of being, you know, given the same old store or over and over again.

1244
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:06,460
So thank you.

1245
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:07,080
Thank you.

1246
01:35:07,380 --> 01:35:07,700
Thank you.

1247
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,200
We have to do our own thing right now.

1248
01:35:10,460 --> 01:35:10,600
Yes.

1249
01:35:11,500 --> 01:35:12,420
Thank you.

1250
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:13,300
Thank you.

1251
01:35:13,480 --> 01:35:14,160
Next to the queue.

1252
01:35:16,100 --> 01:35:17,320
That's all, man.

1253
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:18,020
Okay.

1254
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:19,260
Madam Mayor?

1255
01:35:19,860 --> 01:35:19,960
Yes.

1256
01:35:20,440 --> 01:35:24,540
I'm going to step aside from the day as for a moment and it's because of private

1257
01:35:24,540 --> 01:35:26,140
citizen Mary briefly.

1258
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:33,460
First, I'd like to congratulate Rick Toledo on being selected as a chairperson of the

1259
01:35:33,460 --> 01:35:37,120
Environmental Commission and Bill Coons.

1260
01:35:37,220 --> 01:35:40,160
Congratulations on being selected as a vice chair.

1261
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:45,240
I'm sure that commission will work together to help improve the quality of life of our residents.

1262
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:54,620
Secondly, I want to publicly congratulate our councilwoman, E-Lact, Arlene Bogotia, Rojas,

1263
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:58,540
for a job well done in a campaign.

1264
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:03,800
I want to congratulate all the candidates, the ones, the ones, the ones that did not win the elections,

1265
01:36:04,460 --> 01:36:06,320
for participating in civic engagement.

1266
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:13,550
That's really, really important. It's something important to me and it should be important to all of us and I just want to say that

1267
01:36:14,540 --> 01:36:19,960
Everyone that puts themselves out there to become a candidate, congratulations to you because to me,

1268
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:24,780
You know all winners in the sense that you participated and helped make democracy work.

1269
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:29,580
Thirdly, my point is that

1270
01:36:29,580 --> 01:36:37,860
or our all communications. I think should be restored to both telephone calls as we have it now

1271
01:36:37,860 --> 01:36:44,060
and email messages as we had at previous several council meetings. If we could have a hybrid

1272
01:36:44,060 --> 01:36:50,880
system, I think that would engage more citizens. Thank you very much. Thank you. And while you're

1273
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:55,480
stepping aside, we forgot to because this was not the agenda to think I'm newly elected to the

1274
01:36:57,180 --> 01:37:00,260
Myla Rockman and congratulations, Jawa Dhan.

1275
01:37:00,260 --> 01:37:08,040
This is not on the agenda, but I want to include that all in the same motion and that's a good idea and to myla

1276
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,320

1277
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:12,480
Thank you.

1278
01:37:13,340 --> 01:37:24,160
So the next item on the agenda is approval of the minutes from the March 4 City Council meeting.

1279
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:30,860
Special meeting and watch 11 special meeting. I move approval madam mayor both cities second

1280
01:37:30,860 --> 01:37:34,390

Motion approving anonymously. Thank you

1283
01:37:45,260 --> 01:37:48,720
The next is our consent calendar item 16 through 27

1284
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,840
I'm going to take a motion to approve the consent calendar.

1285
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:56,600
All in favor.

1286
01:37:56,980 --> 01:37:58,540
Sign the Bob by saying aye.

1287
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:01,240
Who would like to pull a night on?

1288
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:06,140
On the out of air on the vote for the record on item number 21.

1289
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,720
I'm going to be accused myself because I own property.

1290
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,720
Actually it's more than 500 feet away, but for the.

1291
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:24,740
You know avoid the appearance of impropriety. I'm going to establish a non-vote. I'm not voting on that. I don't know am I discussing it.

1292
01:38:25,340 --> 01:38:26,940
Okay. Well, the record. Thank you.

1293
01:38:28,820 --> 01:38:30,560
Who would like to pull on item anyone else?

1294
01:38:30,700 --> 01:38:32,260
I would. Item number 18.

1295
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:33,700
Number 18.

1296
01:38:36,300 --> 01:38:37,180
That's it.

1297
01:38:37,380 --> 01:38:38,540
That's it.

1298
01:38:38,540 --> 01:38:43,500
approval of the consent calendar with the exception of item number 18 and

1299
01:38:43,500 --> 01:38:47,920
April 10 will be reducing the self of item number 21. All if they were

1300
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:55,520
signified by saying I accept 21 in the VT. Yes, that's correct.

1301
01:38:56,160 --> 01:39:02,520
Okay. Could you report out Madame Cri. Motion approved unanimously.

1302
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:08,700
with their refusal from a male Pokemon gift for item number one.

1303
01:39:09,380 --> 01:39:10,600
And so now we will do the best.

1304
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,160
Take a bite of number 18.

1305
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:22,280
I'm there. I'm going to ask to make a brief report on this our finance director.

1306
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:30,160
Let me first start by saying that this is an idea that's come up as results of the

1307
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:30,400
Right?

1308
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:36,880
The thing is channel incident where, at the beginning of it, although the council had authorized

1309
01:39:37,860 --> 01:39:45,020
the city to stand up to $300,000, we found that when we were booking hotel rooms,

1310
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:54,760
we were having difficulty making sure that we had the means to do that initially, and so

1311
01:39:54,760 --> 01:40:00,520
The idea through conversations with you, primarily and others, came up that we really

1312
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:06,420
need to, for emergencies, have credit cards and open peos to deal specifically with

1313
01:40:06,420 --> 01:40:06,940
emergencies.

1314
01:40:07,660 --> 01:40:12,960
So, I'm going to let you make the brief report with an explanation of the recommendation.

1315
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,280
Thank you.

1316
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:16,740
Thank you.

1317
01:40:17,020 --> 01:40:18,160
Thank you.

1318
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:25,280
Honorable Mayor and Council members, this item in front of you is a request to issue additional

1319
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:33,900
credit card. We currently have five credit card issued by the Resolution, that was adopted

1320
01:40:33,900 --> 01:40:41,500
by the City Council 2018. The end of it was that the staff members currently have credit cards

1321
01:40:41,500 --> 01:40:46,360
of the city manager, the deputy executive manager of Purchasing Manager, who is the position

1322
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:53,720
now vacant, the emergency manager as well as two buyers. We're asking Council to approve

1323
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:59,480
the issue of additional three credit card, one for the senior buyer and two for the

1324
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:06,420
SSNC managers to help, what they're responsible for the biggest channel, other local emergency.

1325
01:41:06,980 --> 01:41:08,520
That concludes my report.

1326
01:41:10,140 --> 01:41:16,560
Okay, so, um, the senior buyer needs one because he, that person's charged my purchasing.

1327
01:41:17,480 --> 01:41:18,860
Gothel and Hilton, you pulled this.

1328
01:41:19,060 --> 01:41:25,000
Yes, Madam Mayor, I know the city treasure wanted to speak to it. I wanted to give her an opportunity to speak to it.

1329
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:25,360
Okay.

1330
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:28,160
Hello, Madam Mayor. Hi.

1331
01:41:29,420 --> 01:41:37,740
Okay, this item is a big concerning for me because of the continual challenges.

1332
01:41:37,740 --> 01:41:46,220
that both the finance department and the Treasury Department have with those who hold the

1333
01:41:46,220 --> 01:41:52,840
P cards. The guidelines are simply not being followed. So what is happening is the credit

1334
01:41:52,840 --> 01:42:00,090
issuer holds the credit. They put a hold on our credit and then there's this mad dash to get

1335
01:42:00,090 --> 01:42:08,150
paperwork in, and then at the night hour, I'm summoned to issue a check without being able

1336
01:42:08,150 --> 01:42:17,490
to review the paperwork. And this has been an ongoing issue. So to increase the credit limit

1337
01:42:17,490 --> 01:42:26,250
on these peagards when individuals aren't being responsible, I don't think that's the

1338
01:42:26,250 --> 01:42:33,610
that we should travel. What I suggest to, and let me correct something, I don't have a

1339
01:42:33,610 --> 01:42:38,630
peacard. My deputy treasure doesn't have a peacard. I didn't want to have a credit card

1340
01:42:38,630 --> 01:42:45,890
in my department anymore because of how it worked out before because we were in charge. The

1341
01:42:45,890 --> 01:42:51,450
treasury department was in charge of the credit cards. At that time we never had holds on the

1342
01:42:51,450 --> 01:42:59,090
cards we never had from just problems with certain staff. But nevertheless, what I want to suggest

1343
01:42:59,090 --> 01:43:09,130
is that for emergencies that we have one card that perhaps I can hold in my department with a credit

1344
01:43:09,130 --> 01:43:17,090
limit of 200, 300,000 or whatever. And that credit card be used only for designated emergencies

1345
01:43:17,090 --> 01:43:21,910
these that are designated by the mayor and the council.

1346
01:43:23,110 --> 01:43:25,490
So I'm complete mayor council.

1347
01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:27,090
And okay.

1348
01:43:28,370 --> 01:43:29,050
Councilman Hilton.

1349
01:43:32,210 --> 01:43:34,730
I wanted to give the treasure the opportunity to speak to that.

1350
01:43:35,330 --> 01:43:46,010
And whatever her issue was to bring you on the floor so that it will be in the open for us to make the decision on which way we should go.

1351
01:43:46,010 --> 01:43:55,150
of Madam City Manager. This is only doing an emergency. I know I was on the phone with our city

1352
01:43:55,150 --> 01:44:03,910
deputy city treasure about a credit check. What is the problem? Soundmark is to me as a staff

1353
01:44:03,910 --> 01:44:09,930
issued a needs to be corrected. Well, I don't know if that problem is, but I don't have a problem

1354
01:44:09,930 --> 01:44:14,950
with the treasure of being the one that's been given a credit card during emergencies. I would just

1355
01:44:14,950 --> 01:44:21,950
concerned that it's only with one person because if there is an earthquake and Monica's

1356
01:44:21,950 --> 01:44:28,150
not around at the time she may not be able to get back to the city to be able to help us with

1357
01:44:28,150 --> 01:44:33,910
that I would just want it to be too but I absolutely am comfortable with the you have a

1358
01:44:33,910 --> 01:44:41,370
critical I do mine is up to I think it's 25 I don't even know what the limit is to

1359
01:44:41,370 --> 01:44:47,590
I think we have to tell me what it is, but the credit limit is $40,000, the credit limit can be increased.

1360
01:44:48,490 --> 01:44:55,410
Up to, I think, the city entire city has about $400,000 on all the credit cards we have.

1361
01:44:56,310 --> 01:44:59,950
I want to also say that, yeah.

1362
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,000
Yes, the city is critical resolution that adopts the way to city council in 18. Authorize the deputy

1363
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:14,080
city president to have a card, but the deputy president does not have one. They chose not to have one.

1364
01:45:14,100 --> 01:45:15,600
But it's stated in the resolution.

1365
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:23,680
The second thing that I would mention is, in terms of declaration of emergency, a population of emergency,

1366
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:30,540
as you might recall, I actually declared or the plan the emergency and the council had

1367
01:45:30,540 --> 01:45:35,540
six days to ratify, but because we coordinated advance, because of the nature of this

1368
01:45:35,540 --> 01:45:42,140
event, we were able to actually have the council ratify literally an hour later, but again

1369
01:45:42,140 --> 01:45:48,340
in the events of an earthquake, I may not be possible for the council to convene so quickly,

1370
01:45:48,340 --> 01:45:53,500
maybe else in the end within the six-day period but the

1371
01:45:53,500 --> 01:45:57,960
the declaration or proclamation of the emergency is what should trigger the use to

1372
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:00,020
not be available for any other occasion.

1373
01:46:00,780 --> 01:46:03,360
Well, I think that the city manager in this city

1374
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:06,680
transition have one. My other concern also is this

1375
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:11,280
that we should have open peels at all of these companies that are around here

1376
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:15,620
that has a dollar amount that's used for an emergency because

1377
01:46:15,620 --> 01:46:21,440
and council on his can remember when we had to activate not only well if you will too

1378
01:46:21,440 --> 01:46:28,820
when we had to activate activate our EOC for emergency we needed to be able to get supplies

1379
01:46:28,820 --> 01:46:34,100
and equipment and everything else and open fields I don't know if to reach as discussed this

1380
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:40,260
but all of our supply suppliers we should have open fields with them just for an emergency

1381
01:46:40,260 --> 01:46:49,140
that is part of the recommendation mayor. Okay. So I personally don't mind for me the city

1382
01:46:49,140 --> 01:46:53,780
manager in the city treasure, then you don't have full running around, but you have two people

1383
01:46:55,380 --> 01:47:03,320
that's able to step up the land and merge that, might be from Mayor for Tim.

1384
01:47:03,320 --> 01:47:10,680
I have a question for our city treasurer, Monica Cooper. Monica, can you still in line?

1385
01:47:10,860 --> 01:47:19,440
Yes, sir. Okay. So, you know, I had opposed this when it was before the council two weeks ago for

1386
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:29,720
various reasons, but now it's back on the agenda. What would you recommend as a

1387
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:38,400
a modification or amendment or a change in this proposal by the city manager.

1388
01:47:39,440 --> 01:47:45,200
For instance, you said that you prefer not to have a city credit card in your department

1389
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:50,320
in the Treasurer's office, but the mayor mentions that maybe the city treasurer should

1390
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:51,320
have it.

1391
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:57,920
So you are the city treasurer, and I'd like to know based on your expertise in this field,

1392
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:04,360
But you recommend to us as far as handling this particular agenda item tonight.

1393
01:48:06,060 --> 01:48:13,060
You just speak on it, but you really weren't definitive on whether it should be modified in a certain way,

1394
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:20,620
a specific way, or brought back, or approved, as is, could you elaborate, please?

1395
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:22,440
I'd like to get some guidance from you.

1396
01:48:22,440 --> 01:48:34,420
Okay. No problem, Mayor Pro Temp. As the mayor has suggested that credit card for emergency purposes,

1397
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:41,500
be issued to myself and perhaps the city manager, I don't have an issue with that.

1398
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:49,640
As long as the credit card is only used for emergency, as far as increasing the credit limit,

1399
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:58,280
absolutely not. We have to get control of our guidelines on how we process our credit

1400
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:04,300
and car payments monthly. I don't believe that we need to expand the credit. I think we have

1401
01:49:04,300 --> 01:49:12,780
enough credit before these credit card holders. I see. Okay. I understand your position. Thank you.

1402
01:49:13,540 --> 01:49:18,680
You're welcome. So madam city trader, one for you and one for the city manager with

1403
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:24,320
And how much on these, oh, except $40,000, you can go up to $100 each car or whatever.

1404
01:49:24,660 --> 01:49:25,760
I'm very close with you about.

1405
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,820
So, it sounds like we have three, if the treasure doesn't have one, and may I help it?

1406
01:49:31,340 --> 01:49:34,580
We're not talking about reducing it further from the three.

1407
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,780
So, it's no larger, the buyer and three coalescers.

1408
01:49:39,620 --> 01:49:43,820
No, no, the city, the city has four credit cards.

1409
01:49:44,220 --> 01:49:45,140
Two for serial buyers.

1410
01:49:45,140 --> 01:49:52,120
have two buyers, two cars, and one for the emergency manager, Mr. Raymond Chog, and one for the city manager.

1411
01:49:52,300 --> 01:49:52,480
Okay.

1412
01:49:52,900 --> 01:49:53,760
Two little four.

1413
01:49:55,760 --> 01:50:00,140
So, so what I was requesting was that the city manager had one.

1414
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:05,140
So maybe you could take that one from your senior buyer and give it to the treasure.

1415
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:08,220
There we need that.

1416
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:09,020
We're not emergency.

1417
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:10,200
We have two.

1418
01:50:10,500 --> 01:50:11,340
You have two.

1419
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:11,740
Right.

1420
01:50:12,940 --> 01:50:13,200
Okay.

1421
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:17,460
Well, I'm going to let you address that.

1422
01:50:17,500 --> 01:50:18,460
Okay, spirit.

1423
01:50:18,900 --> 01:50:21,380
Yes, that is, I mean, either way,

1424
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:23,280
I think the City Council and the City Mayor's

1425
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:24,160
can decide.

1426
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:28,200
I think I do conquer with Monica that.

1427
01:50:29,580 --> 01:50:31,280
The policy is very clear.

1428
01:50:31,480 --> 01:50:35,200
I think one credit card holder has any activities

1429
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,360
on the card the next day or two days

1430
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:40,040
have to report these documents to the City

1431
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:45,400
measure immediately. So they can be paid immediately. It was they are paid. There won't be any

1432
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:50,500
hold of the card. So I think it's the timing is that we continue the expenditures and

1433
01:50:50,500 --> 01:50:55,420
sometimes it takes some time to put the city to measure it to make the payment and the rushing

1434
01:50:55,420 --> 01:51:01,700
to make the payment without a complete review of the documents sometimes can be challenged. So I think

1435
01:51:01,700 --> 01:51:08,720
if we can do both, emphasize the critical holders responsibilities as well as issuing another

1436
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:14,740
to. I think that would help you have four. We have four correct. Okay, that's you. You're

1437
01:51:14,740 --> 01:51:19,280
just trying to keep before America is that problems you haven't one because I, you know,

1438
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:24,440
I went back to this with you when I talked to you on the weekend. No, I don't have a problem with

1439
01:51:24,440 --> 01:51:33,540
having one, man. But I was thinking to have a separate credit card from the P cards.

1440
01:51:37,580 --> 01:51:38,040
What we have

1441
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:43,520
on separate with a very large balance on it. I mean, a very large credit limit of some credit

1442
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:51,240
limits. Yes. So that's two cards, one for you and one for the city manager. Yes. Okay. That

1443
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:57,660
makes sense. But only if you've studied emergency. Only for an emergency. That's a very emergency. Yeah.

1444
01:51:58,980 --> 01:52:06,120
So I mean, we should bring this resolution back in the in the formulation that we can all

1445
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:12,880
comparison. Yeah, that's your motion. Yes. Yes. One second. I don't know if you're going to be

1446
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:17,720
caught in a quite a cough. But I just want to make sure also that you address in your deliberation,

1447
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:24,040
the purchase order issue. Well, and you want to go in and get into this matter.

1448
01:52:24,660 --> 01:52:30,040
Matter, matter may I shouldn't be an internal process that should be in place. And if memory serves

1449
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:35,360
me, if a person does a purchase order, there should always be backup in place, whenever it's put

1450
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:41,000
the system. I think we're talking that an open purchase order that would be available again in

1451
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:45,780
emergency or emergency. Are we able to do that? I know there was problems with that in the past

1452
01:52:45,780 --> 01:52:50,260
and we couldn't get over the purpose of it. Certain vendors weren't accepting them anymore.

1453
01:52:50,460 --> 01:52:59,080
Because of one pandemic. Yes. Is that the case to reach? That was before, but we don't have that issue anymore.

1454
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,100
I think we've carried out the P, yes.

1455
01:53:01,620 --> 01:53:05,340
We do really pay attention into the POs in relationship

1456
01:53:05,340 --> 01:53:10,140
to invoices and right now, since the city council

1457
01:53:10,140 --> 01:53:14,160
declared an emergency, we will be able to issue POs

1458
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:17,940
that even exceed the $25,000 during this emergency.

1459
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,420
So the request is to bring it back.

1460
01:53:21,660 --> 01:53:23,400
Would you put the credit card in the P card

1461
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:25,900
and do we need to include, would this purchase

1462
01:53:25,900 --> 01:53:27,760
audit tied into this?

1463
01:53:28,020 --> 01:53:28,540
I would.

1464
01:53:28,540 --> 01:53:35,190
Okay, so without objection we will you guys bring a back tweak it and we'll talk about

1465
01:53:36,300 --> 01:53:41,920
Credit card a credit card for a city man in our city treasure in the big cards. What do you have right now?

1466
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:47,900
Yes, and I'm sorry. I just didn't hear council member. Did you say you would or you wouldn't sign the purchase water?

1467
01:53:48,300 --> 01:53:56,650
He would. I would. Okay. Thank you. Okay, so we will be brought back at our next council meeting in two weeks. Okay. Thank you

1468
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:02,520
Okay, thank you.

1469
01:54:02,580 --> 01:54:03,820
You're very welcome, please.

1470
01:54:06,060 --> 01:54:08,680
Next item is a discussion item number 28

1471
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:11,300
of data on emergency notification process

1472
01:54:11,300 --> 01:54:12,960
for community members.

1473
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:14,060
Thank you, Jesus.

1474
01:54:17,590 --> 01:54:19,390
All of that in city manager.

1475
01:54:19,990 --> 01:54:21,030
Thank you there.

1476
01:54:21,730 --> 01:54:26,090
On, we're, our theme is emergencies right now

1477
01:54:26,090 --> 01:54:27,670
for this council meeting.

1478
01:54:28,110 --> 01:54:29,810
Mostly, I don't avoid that in my hope,

1479
01:54:30,390 --> 01:54:33,330
but I ask our emergency services manager

1480
01:54:33,330 --> 01:54:49,470
Green and Chung to do a brief presentation on what our emergency management, notification processes to make sure that everybody is aware of what tools we now have available, because this is real, this particular tool is a new one.

1481
01:54:49,830 --> 01:54:55,010
So, Greenman, if you would, please make a presentation to the council and the public.

1482
01:54:56,450 --> 01:55:01,070
Yes, thank you, Madam City Manager. Good evening, Madam Mayor and all the seats.

1483
01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:08,000
Today, I'm going to talk to you about emergency notifications.

1484
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:13,360
We recently, this year, started with a system called Everbridge.

1485
01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:17,400
Now, the system is paid for by the refineries,

1486
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:22,360
through to some state legislation, and we started this summer,

1487
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:27,160
and the vendor of the past transportation service we use is called Everbridge.

1488
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:36,160
And we also are part of a regional effort for public outreach called Alert South Bay.

1489
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:42,340
And I'm going to have a brief video for you to show you what that's all about.

1490
01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:57,980
Health emergencies.

1491
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:04,980
Now you can get critical information from a new regional integrated public alert and warning system called Alert South Bay.

1492
01:56:04,980 --> 01:56:10,280
aimed at sending targeted messages to those areas that are impacted by a disaster or emergency.

1493
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:18,540
The regional system allows a fire, police, emergency management, and city officials to send alerts in the event of an emergency.

1494
01:56:19,140 --> 01:56:24,380
Alerts of Bay allows you to customize your settings, determine the information you want, and how you want to receive it.

1495
01:56:24,620 --> 01:56:28,460
Alerts of Bay is a free service for residents, businesses, and visitors.

1496
01:56:28,460 --> 01:56:34,820
In the cities of Pinglewood, El Cigando, Hawthor, Gardina, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach,

1497
01:56:35,220 --> 01:56:41,060
Hermosa Beach, Torret, Talisburg, to the States, and including Lomida, Rolling Hills,

1498
01:56:41,300 --> 01:56:45,040
Rolling Hills to the States, Rancho of Talisburg, and Cartham.

1499
01:56:45,780 --> 01:56:49,460
If you haven't signed up, do so today to get the information you need when you need it.

1500
01:56:49,620 --> 01:56:53,380
Let's stay informed, be prepared to sign up today for a Lurksuffet.

1501
01:56:53,660 --> 01:56:57,320
Visit us at www.alertsuffetings.com

1502
01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:10,840
So I do want to mention AlertSouthBake.com that is the primary way for folks to register in the system.

1503
01:57:11,300 --> 01:57:15,960
There are a couple other ways to or over on our ReadyCarsan.com website.

1504
01:57:16,620 --> 01:57:20,140
There's a link directly to the AlertSouthBake as well.

1505
01:57:20,820 --> 01:57:29,400
Folks you can also use their cell phone and text AlertSB to the number 888777.

1506
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:32,120
And that will send them a link to register.

1507
01:57:32,700 --> 01:57:35,000
Or is it also download the effort for a job that's

1508
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:39,120
fillable both on the Apple and Google stores?

1509
01:57:40,020 --> 01:57:46,260
Alerts South Bay is our regional partner for getting folks to get registered.

1510
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:53,440
But they also function as our regional partner in creating templates and, you know,

1511
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:55,600
standardizing the messaging that goes out.

1512
01:57:55,600 --> 01:58:02,880
This is especially important for things like the refinery in our backyard, so messages that go out

1513
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:10,460
obviously something at a refinery could happen and it would affect a regional area outside of

1514
01:58:10,460 --> 01:58:10,800
Carson.

1515
01:58:11,420 --> 01:58:15,680
So it's important to standardize those messages and alert South Bay helps us with that.

1516
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:22,520
I don't know if this is appropriate time to ask, but one of the residents, the experience

1517
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:27,960
is I experienced the text. One of the persons who was living in her house got the message,

1518
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:32,760
but she didn't get the message. How do we make sure that everyone is included for those,

1519
01:58:32,940 --> 01:58:38,420
is there a list that we're operating off of? Can we add this to our website for people to opt in?

1520
01:58:38,820 --> 01:58:45,480
Can we have this flyer posted on our social media accounts for everybody to opt into this feature?

1521
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:47,980
So everybody will be included.

1522
01:58:49,380 --> 01:58:49,640
Yes, sir.

1523
01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:52,620
It is on on the website on our city website.

1524
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:56,160
And this graphic is also included in the Carson Report.

1525
01:58:56,580 --> 01:59:05,220
We have currently about 14,000 people who have registered for the system, which is actually pretty good considering we really just started this summer.

1526
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:08,680
But we really would like more people to register.

1527
01:59:09,860 --> 01:59:11,920
A lot of folks don't have landlines anymore.

1528
01:59:12,140 --> 01:59:13,820
They only have cell phones.

1529
01:59:13,820 --> 01:59:16,980
So we really need those folks to register.

1530
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:25,840
I do want to relay that part of Everbridge also gets this access into what's called the wireless

1531
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:27,180
emergency alert system.

1532
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:30,500
And that does not require folks to register.

1533
01:59:30,780 --> 01:59:34,400
That's included in most modern mobile phones.

1534
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,400
However, the use of that system is very restricted.

1535
01:59:37,620 --> 01:59:42,940
You can really only use for immediate threat effect of regional area.

1536
01:59:42,940 --> 01:59:52,760
That's because although you can geolocate those messages to the immediate area around a

1537
01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:59,960
sub-one tower, due to some of the fires of north, the mobile providers have up that to a.

1538
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:28,960
10-mile radius. So it would actually be notifying a very, very large area here in LA County. You're talking about probably a million people easily. So we're very restricted in using that. So we do ask people to register that's the best way to get the notifications. We did use the system during the recent earthquake during the fires. And, of course, the recent families channel situation.

1539
02:00:30,940 --> 02:00:32,060
Madam Mayor.

1540
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:40,520
To Raymond Chung, my concern is, everyone was not notified of this, the biggest channel

1541
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:44,380
that was one of the concerns that the residents told me, how are we getting this information

1542
02:00:44,380 --> 02:00:45,560
out to them?

1543
02:00:45,860 --> 02:00:51,520
No one knew and I keep telling everybody, everyone is not connected to a computer that can

1544
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:56,400
go and look at the website, they are not connected to any of the new technology.

1545
02:00:56,400 --> 02:01:02,720
so many of our residents are old school and that how do we get to them and that was one of the

1546
02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:07,840
main reason why I wanted this to be brought before this council for discussion. We need to put

1547
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:13,980
something in place that encompassed everybody in the city, not just those that electronic savvy

1548
02:01:13,980 --> 02:01:20,780
and are connected because again, many of my residents had no idea what was going on how to get help

1549
02:01:20,780 --> 02:01:23,700
where to go to, and it just didn't work.

1550
02:01:24,100 --> 02:01:27,460
And if you have to register to be with the alert

1551
02:01:27,460 --> 02:01:30,400
south bay, that, and we've had, as you said,

1552
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:33,300
this summer we implemented, how was this marketed,

1553
02:01:33,420 --> 02:01:36,300
how did it get out to the residents to actually sign up for?

1554
02:01:36,580 --> 02:01:38,480
Because again, I have two cell phones,

1555
02:01:38,560 --> 02:01:40,900
and I'd get not one alert at all for nothing.

1556
02:01:45,210 --> 02:01:45,250
Stay.

1557
02:01:45,870 --> 02:01:48,110
Ladies, would you please address that?

1558
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:54,780
I think that's partially why we did the walking man

1559
02:01:54,780 --> 02:01:58,080
to get some of those, some of that information out the folks.

1560
02:01:59,260 --> 02:02:03,920
You know, it definitely agree with the idea that, you know,

1561
02:02:04,060 --> 02:02:07,760
not everyone is on the computer or, you know, it's very tech savvy.

1562
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:12,700
So, you know, things like the Walking Man probably are the best that.

1563
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:20,400
And we can definitely do more publicity around, around alert South Bay.

1564
02:02:21,860 --> 02:02:27,000
That was what the reason why we did the walk cause I requested the walk in man to be done.

1565
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:31,420
So I would request the walk in man to be done to notify the community about a lurks out of the bay.

1566
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:35,340
So we can get more regionia 14,000 residents are registered.

1567
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:38,700
And I think we're at 98,000 residents in our city.

1568
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:43,760
We're not, we're just hitting the ice, the tip of the iceberg and notifying our residents.

1569
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:46,720
God forbid we have an emergency tomorrow.

1570
02:02:46,720 --> 02:02:55,980
We are still not able to notify our residents, and I want to make sure we have something in place to notify our residents of an emergency in our city and how to get help.

1571
02:02:56,340 --> 02:03:07,600
So I think I'm going to ask Greenman to clarify that because Greenman's there are two levels of use for that that alert system.

1572
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:17,640
And would you explain the emergency and who that would go to when it's an emergency, which is a different from the sign-up system?

1573
02:03:18,660 --> 02:03:20,300
He said it's regional, what do you talk about earlier?

1574
02:03:20,660 --> 02:03:26,880
No, I know that I know that but I don't think you, I'm sorry, I'm canceling the ride.

1575
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:32,940
I don't think that Raymond was as clear as he could be about that, because I'd ask this question also.

1576
02:03:32,940 --> 02:03:40,180
And there are the sister works in two ways, and maybe I would like you to explain that, please.

1577
02:03:41,340 --> 02:03:49,140
So there is, so within Everbridge, there's actually more, there's a lot of different ways to make folks,

1578
02:03:49,340 --> 02:03:53,620
there's the ones that require opt-ins where we encourage folks to register.

1579
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:59,580
There are landlines, so we do have listing of landlines in the system,

1580
02:03:59,580 --> 02:04:09,580
Because of FCC regulations, we can only access those using when there's an immediate threat to life safety.

1581
02:04:10,900 --> 02:04:16,560
So, you know, that restriction does make it a little bit harder for us to use that database.

1582
02:04:17,300 --> 02:04:27,240
We didn't use it right after the Avalon Fire for the area surrounding that property to notify them of what's happening.

1583
02:04:27,240 --> 02:04:32,800
And then there's also the the wireless emergency alerts I mentioned early that's standard.

1584
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,060
Oh, excuse me on cell phones.

1585
02:04:36,820 --> 02:04:41,700
So there are varying levels of ability to send messages out.

1586
02:04:42,340 --> 02:04:51,580
But we do we do encourage the the opt-ins because those are the ones that are most flexible for us to send messages out to people.

1587
02:04:51,580 --> 02:05:16,220
So, if there, let's just to be clear, if there is what would be considered a life threatening danger, then in that circumstance, we would be able to use utilized both the rotary phones and also the alert system to cell phones, and that would reach hundreds of thousands of people, I mean, give us a little bit of an idea about that.

1588
02:05:16,220 --> 02:05:30,700
If we used a wireless emergency alerts, we could easily reach a half of LA County, so you're looking at, you know, depending on what we purposely to locate, you could be between one and five million people.

1589
02:05:30,700 --> 02:05:38,280
Okay, so the, I think council member, the frustration for me anyway, is that, um,

1590
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:44,940
what, the stance in it that we're going through right now has not been defined as a life-threatening emergency.

1591
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:52,080
And so we weren't able to utilize those, um, particular systems that Raymond is currently speaking about,

1592
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:58,660
that would be for a life-threatening emergency, which is why we would like people to sign up

1593
02:05:58,660 --> 02:06:05,160
We're on alert cell thing now, your point still valid that not everybody has access to

1594
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:12,860
a smart phone or that type of technology, but for those that do, this sign-up system gives

1595
02:06:12,860 --> 02:06:15,520
us more flexibility that what we put out.

1596
02:06:16,060 --> 02:06:22,020
We can't invite them to a special event, but we can invite, we can give them an update on

1597
02:06:22,020 --> 02:06:24,300
a situation like the Dominguez Channel incident.

1598
02:06:24,300 --> 02:06:36,160
So that's why it's important, but your correct is more that we should be striving to do for residents that don't have access to computers or cell phones.

1599
02:06:36,980 --> 02:06:45,940
Yeah, you made a statement that this wasn't a life threatening event. Individuals had to go to the hospital, people were taken by ambulance, people had asthma attacks.

1600
02:06:45,940 --> 02:06:53,360
all of these are to me a life-threatening situation where again the urgency, I guess unless you are

1601
02:06:53,360 --> 02:06:58,420
in the midst of it and you're smelling this and it is causing you problems in your breathing,

1602
02:06:59,080 --> 02:07:04,060
heart conditions, it's life-threatening and our residents are feeling that pain and I just need

1603
02:07:04,060 --> 02:07:08,700
for us to have that same urgency because I don't want to go off again like I did the last meeting

1604
02:07:08,700 --> 02:07:12,640
because I've seen this up, I don't want to get frustrated to that point anymore but I just want to

1605
02:07:12,640 --> 02:07:18,320
sure that we got something in place that will address in getting this information to our residents

1606
02:07:18,320 --> 02:07:24,680
and that I understand that Mr. Trong was on vacation, it to me. It didn't seem as if we had

1607
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:30,560
someone who knew what to do next to get this out there in an expeditious manner to our residents.

1608
02:07:31,180 --> 02:07:37,480
Yeah, so I'm going to ask for an answer to address again, what is it? We don't control the definition

1609
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:42,940
emergency and so Raymond would you please talk about that because I would have liked to have

1610
02:07:42,940 --> 02:07:49,000
stand out of notifications everybody but we don't we don't control when that happens and I

1611
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:56,460
understand and agree with Council Member Hicks's point that individuals certainly had huge health

1612
02:07:56,460 --> 02:08:03,440
issues as resulted this by bringing them if you could explain what the trigger is for that emergency

1613
02:08:05,780 --> 02:08:27,820
We actually asked about using the system to reach landlines fairly early on and the Lertsoth Bay administrator advised that that would not be within the FCC regulations really looking at the immediate life threat meeting really what you want to do is

1614
02:08:27,820 --> 02:08:33,780
that the message would have some kind of called action that to direct them to take a

1615
02:08:33,780 --> 02:08:39,900
immediate action within the next few minutes to protect their life for property.

1616
02:08:40,420 --> 02:08:47,060
So that's generally what they're looking for for using that database, the landline database.

1617
02:08:48,580 --> 02:08:57,500
Now, remember not everyone has landlines, so even even using that system is limited, most folks

1618
02:08:57,500 --> 02:09:04,700
In fact, don't have line lines, most people use cell phones, so even as a primary communication device.

1619
02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:15,160
So had the ability to use that for this situation, there's a good chance we still wouldn't miss a great amount of folks, unfortunately.

1620
02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:23,410
I echo the sentiments of Councilman Hicks, I was about to say the same thing you took

1621
02:09:23,410 --> 02:09:28,650
the words right out of my mouth tonight that this was life threatening, while I appreciate

1622
02:09:29,390 --> 02:09:37,270
a ready South Bay Alert System, maybe Carson needs to look into their additional alert

1623
02:09:37,270 --> 02:09:45,750
system for us, because who is the Alert South Bay to determine the level of life-threatening

1624
02:09:45,750 --> 02:09:49,410
emergency that we have here in the city of Carson.

1625
02:09:49,770 --> 02:09:52,450
And I think this is what we've been talking about.

1626
02:09:52,950 --> 02:09:55,130
Manhattan Beach, they would have gotten a large South Bay

1627
02:09:55,130 --> 02:09:57,690
if H2S was in their community.

1628
02:09:58,250 --> 02:10:00,310
Huntington Beach would have gotten a large South Bay

1629
02:10:00,310 --> 02:10:01,470
if it was in their community.

1630
02:10:01,910 --> 02:10:04,830
They wouldn't have took a second thought in determining

1631
02:10:05,470 --> 02:10:06,930
could they send that alert.

1632
02:10:07,290 --> 02:10:11,410
So maybe Carson needs to explore where we can do that

1633
02:10:11,410 --> 02:10:15,550
to alert our residents, because in times like these,

1634
02:10:15,550 --> 02:10:32,050
We can't let people who live up the freeway, we can't let people who don't live in our community, define to us what is an emergency to us and what is not urgent to us.

1635
02:10:32,050 --> 02:10:40,530
Some of these people go home even even in the gentleman who from from from the county who was on who evaded our questions

1636
02:10:40,530 --> 02:10:44,750
But weeks ago. I asked the same gentleman, you know what they were doing in

1637
02:10:45,130 --> 02:10:51,130
El Sagando his comment to me was oh, they are more a fluent community. I meant none of that

1638
02:10:51,130 --> 02:10:54,790
No one knows the urgency of what's happening now, but us

1639
02:10:55,710 --> 02:11:00,750
So it but who's us to look into another program to see where we can have?

1640
02:11:00,750 --> 02:11:03,010
I mean, a large South Bay is cool for now,

1641
02:11:03,250 --> 02:11:06,730
but it booves us that if another disaster comes up

1642
02:11:06,730 --> 02:11:09,050
that we need to categorize it as a disaster

1643
02:11:09,050 --> 02:11:11,230
or an emergency that we're able to communicate

1644
02:11:11,230 --> 02:11:12,050
with our residents.

1645
02:11:13,110 --> 02:11:13,970
Thank you.

1646
02:11:14,790 --> 02:11:18,650
Madam City, Manager, I think I've shared this with you before.

1647
02:11:20,150 --> 02:11:22,550
This was a test.

1648
02:11:22,870 --> 02:11:25,710
It's a test that's going on as how responsive we are

1649
02:11:25,710 --> 02:11:26,670
to the residents.

1650
02:11:27,270 --> 02:11:28,710
And I have said before, I don't think we

1651
02:11:28,710 --> 02:11:36,510
very, we responded later. But my concern is if we get a major major earthquake how we go

1652
02:11:36,510 --> 02:11:43,690
on to respond. And that was my question, you know, because it just seems like on a major

1653
02:11:43,690 --> 02:11:50,150
webinar to the city manager on a major earthquake, it goes out, how does it go? On people's phones,

1654
02:11:51,070 --> 02:11:56,990
people's, you know, there's a, there's a refinery, there's something that's hooked up to say what?

1655
02:11:56,990 --> 02:12:00,150
What do we, you know, we say we have to evacuate?

1656
02:12:00,970 --> 02:12:02,870
How am I told that?

1657
02:12:04,340 --> 02:12:05,700
With the city has to evacuate.

1658
02:12:07,940 --> 02:12:11,300
So if we had a call to actually like that for immediate threat,

1659
02:12:11,640 --> 02:12:15,520
we could use every avenue that alert South Bay offers,

1660
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:19,280
including cell phone registered cell phones,

1661
02:12:19,300 --> 02:12:22,820
landlines, and the wireless emergency alert system.

1662
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,400
While is the emergency alert system doing

1663
02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:26,760
what it goes throughout the city?

1664
02:12:28,020 --> 02:12:33,780
So, it is kind of like Amber Lerts, so you know, in terms of your phone or mail.

1665
02:12:34,360 --> 02:12:35,200
You're obtaining noise.

1666
02:12:35,220 --> 02:12:36,080
Oh, my TV.

1667
02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:37,940
Yes, exactly now.

1668
02:12:38,240 --> 02:12:38,520
Okay.

1669
02:12:39,140 --> 02:12:40,340
Well, that was my concern.

1670
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:42,420
I've had this conversation with our city manager.

1671
02:12:42,820 --> 02:12:46,200
You know, we love one thing when we go to an emergency.

1672
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:47,160
Our weaknesses.

1673
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:51,400
And then we also learned that how we need to correct the situation.

1674
02:12:51,660 --> 02:12:53,200
I think that's what we are right now.

1675
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:58,480
we're going to correct this situation and come over with something that's uh that's

1676
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:03,920
palatable for this entire city council. And right now 14,000 people is not.

1677
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:11,520
So we're going to send you guys back to the drawing board. This is a good start, but it also shows

1678
02:13:12,140 --> 02:13:20,190
a weakness as a city. I don't know what

1679
02:13:23,100 --> 02:13:24,700
else we have on that laden.

1680
02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:28,920
I believe that we've included that item.

1681
02:13:28,920 --> 02:13:30,960
We'll see if we'll see number one.

1682
02:13:31,320 --> 02:13:32,780
We want to know that.

1683
02:13:33,540 --> 02:13:34,960
Your camera's not on metamere.

1684
02:13:35,120 --> 02:13:35,720
Was that?

1685
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:37,220
Can you see me hear me?

1686
02:13:37,340 --> 02:13:38,320
You can't hear me.

1687
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:41,790
Oh, I don't know.

1688
02:13:41,790 --> 02:13:43,870
Metamere, if you want to motion and we can take

1689
02:13:43,870 --> 02:13:46,310
Stedrick's comment as a motion and I'll second it.

1690
02:13:47,590 --> 02:13:48,150
Did you come back?

1691
02:13:48,750 --> 02:13:49,510
Yes, you can.

1692
02:13:49,790 --> 02:13:51,270
There are all complete, guys.

1693
02:13:51,610 --> 02:13:51,810
Me, too.

1694
02:13:52,570 --> 02:13:56,450
Well, it was a receiving file, but a direction was given for

1695
02:13:56,450 --> 02:14:00,790
come back with a new plan of action on how we're going to address and normalizing our community

1696
02:14:00,790 --> 02:14:07,350
of any disaster and how that would be disseminated amongst our residents. To bring that back,

1697
02:14:07,590 --> 02:14:13,770
that's my motion. And I'm second in the motion that counts in Hicks. All in favor of

1698
02:14:13,770 --> 02:14:18,850
signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Madam City Clerk report that we vote.

1699
02:14:20,430 --> 02:14:22,550
Motion approved in Adam's seat. Okay.

1700
02:14:25,080 --> 02:14:28,060
Item number 29, consider introduction and first reading

1701
02:14:28,060 --> 02:14:34,400
of an order's number 2121 and orders of the City Council of the City of Parks and California

1702
02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:43,720
at in chapter 11 to the Oracle Commitory section, 5111, 011, ETE sequence of the course municipal

1703
02:14:43,720 --> 02:14:50,740
code and title specific regulations for organic waste disposable reduction, recycling and

1704
02:14:50,740 --> 02:14:59,440
of waste collection to enact regulation and compliance of the Senate Bill SB 1383 for the implementation of food and organic recycling.

1705
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:06,920
And related solid ways, and resides in processing and reporting, adoption of exemptions on the California

1706
02:15:06,920 --> 02:15:10,540
Environment Quality Act, Madam City Manager.

1707
02:15:11,420 --> 02:15:19,760
Thank you, Mayor. We have on this item, our city attorney staff, minor layman, and also our

1708
02:15:19,760 --> 02:15:25,540
Director of Public Works, Eliza Jane, to report on this, this has to do with state legislation

1709
02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:34,480
that requires certain implementation as of the beginning of the year, and this legislation

1710
02:15:34,480 --> 02:15:40,220
that we are proposing would put the city in compliance with those requirements, so that I'm

1711
02:15:40,220 --> 02:15:44,480
going to turn it over to Lana to make a brief presentation on this item.

1712
02:15:44,480 --> 02:15:48,340
Good evening, Madam Mayor and City Council.

1713
02:15:48,540 --> 02:15:49,800
Can everybody hear me okay?

1714
02:15:50,920 --> 02:15:50,980
Yes.

1715
02:15:53,020 --> 02:15:54,800
I want to laymen, I'll try and winder.

1716
02:15:55,300 --> 02:15:59,540
And we are presenting to you tonight an ordinance to enact regulations and compliance with

1717
02:15:59,540 --> 02:16:10,060
New Senate Bill 1383 for the implementation of food and organics recycling and related solid waste recycling and processing and reporting.

1718
02:16:11,240 --> 02:16:28,420
What we are proposing is a new municipal code section, Chapter 11 to Article 5, which addresses the mandate of organic waste generators, haulers and other entities, subject to the requirements of SB 1383, to comply with those state regulatory requirements.

1719
02:16:28,420 --> 02:16:50,020
Model language for mandatory SB 1383 ordinance was provided by Calercycle in January 2021 and cities were advised to adjust the language based on their individual needs such adjustments have been made for Carson and he dropped the proposed new chapter was shared with the city's franchise waste color waste resources.

1720
02:16:51,060 --> 02:16:55,320
SB 1383 takes effect on January 1, 2022.

1721
02:16:56,260 --> 02:17:14,920
By January 1, 2022, all jurisdictions must have passed a mandatory organic waste disposal reduction ordinance with the ultimate target of reducing organic waste disposal by 75% and increasing edible food recovery by 20% by the year 2025.

1722
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:21,040
Now, this does not, as you can see from the graphic here, this does not all happen at once.

1723
02:17:21,720 --> 02:17:29,000
What you see here is that once adopted the ordinances implementation and enforcement measures take effect over

1724
02:17:29,740 --> 02:17:35,300
in any staggered fashion from January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2025.

1725
02:17:36,260 --> 02:17:40,180
In 2024, enforcement becomes very key.

1726
02:17:40,180 --> 02:18:04,880
Between 2022 and December 2023, the city will need to identify regulated entities that are in violation of the regulations and the ordinance and they will have to provide educational materials with the goal of ensuring that all trash generators and organic generators have the opportunity to comply before city enforcement comes into effect.

1727
02:18:04,880 --> 02:18:14,020
After January 2024, jurisdictions have to take progressive enforcement against organic waste generators that are not in compliance.

1728
02:18:14,980 --> 02:18:27,640
The progressive approach over this two year period basically allows for notification to the generators and provides time for generators to comply before penalties would be imposed or issued by the city.

1729
02:18:30,380 --> 02:18:37,280
For compliance with 1383, the city will be responsible for implementing a number of programs.

1730
02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:51,960
The following practices include providing organic waste collection services to all residents and businesses, adopting the ordinance to inspect and enforce compliance with SB 1383, which is what is for you now.

1731
02:18:51,960 --> 02:18:58,720
Establishing an edible food recovery program for local food generators, conducting annual

1732
02:18:58,720 --> 02:19:04,840
education and outreach for all generators, procuring certain levels of recovered organic waste

1733
02:19:04,840 --> 02:19:10,780
products such as compost, mulch, could be electricity from anaerobic digestion or renewable

1734
02:19:10,780 --> 02:19:17,920
natural fast, and new requirements for maintaining records for SB 1383 compliance for annual

1735
02:19:17,920 --> 02:19:26,200
reporting. On the first point, the collection services for all residents and businesses, the

1736
02:19:26,200 --> 02:19:31,860
ordinance proposes to utilize a standard, what's called a standard compliance three-stream

1737
02:19:31,860 --> 02:19:40,660
collection system to comply with 1383. As dictated by the, by the new law, this compliance

1738
02:19:40,660 --> 02:19:48,760
program will basically ramp up to a collection system with great containers or solid waste,

1739
02:19:49,560 --> 02:19:56,320
rain containers for green waste, food waste and other organics, and blue containers for your

1740
02:19:56,320 --> 02:20:00,520
nonorganic recyclables, so what you would consider recyclables classic.

1741
02:20:01,820 --> 02:20:09,280
With respect to food recovery, 1383 requires that we implement new or we strengthen our existing

1742
02:20:09,280 --> 02:20:16,500
programs to recover edible food from commercial food generators like grocery stores with inventory

1743
02:20:16,500 --> 02:20:23,800
overstock and see that it is distributed to the food insecure. This basically means that commercial

1744
02:20:23,800 --> 02:20:29,780
food generators will enter into contracts with food distribution organizations like charitable

1745
02:20:29,780 --> 02:20:38,400
pantries and community kitchens. To do this we will need to assess how many commercial edible

1746
02:20:38,400 --> 02:20:45,340
food generators do we have in the city? How much edible food could they donate? How many food recovery

1747
02:20:45,340 --> 02:20:51,600
organizations exist? And what is their capacity to receive the available food and distribute it?

1748
02:20:52,720 --> 02:20:58,580
The other point that's worth explaining a bit more is procurement. For procurement,

1749
02:20:58,900 --> 02:21:07,120
carcing will be required to procure certain levels of compost or renewable gas for fuels or electricity

1750
02:21:07,120 --> 02:21:15,480
produced from organic waste and we also need to as a city purchase recycled content paper

1751
02:21:15,480 --> 02:21:22,680
and paper products procurement does not necessarily mean that we are making purchases we

1752
02:21:22,680 --> 02:21:29,200
may for example get free delivery of compost from WR and then subsequently host community

1753
02:21:29,200 --> 02:21:36,840
compost giveaways or as another alternative a hauler that uses fuel from organic based

1754
02:21:37,120 --> 02:21:43,680
Renewable gas to fuel their trucks could also count towards the city's procurement target.

1755
02:21:46,490 --> 02:21:52,510
So, as an overview of the ordinance, it hits those prior points that were previously listed.

1756
02:21:53,870 --> 02:21:59,450
It mandates waste generators haulers and all entities to comply with the regulations.

1757
02:22:00,130 --> 02:22:06,530
It includes the recycling requirements for single-family generators and commercial businesses, including multi-family.

1758
02:22:06,530 --> 02:22:13,150
It includes recovery requirements for commercial edible food generators and their cooperation

1759
02:22:13,150 --> 02:22:15,110
with food recovery organizations.

1760
02:22:16,110 --> 02:22:22,410
It contains service requirements for the haulers, waivers for generators who can demonstrate

1761
02:22:22,410 --> 02:22:28,470
that they are unable to comply with the regulatory scheme, the procurement requirements for

1762
02:22:28,470 --> 02:22:35,010
both the city departments and service vendors and service providers, as well as the inspections

1763
02:22:36,410 --> 02:22:39,110
investigations and enforcement system.

1764
02:22:41,550 --> 02:22:43,990
There will be additional actions coming in the future.

1765
02:22:45,170 --> 02:22:50,730
1383 requires that the city have ordinances, as I've already mentioned, and what and other

1766
02:22:50,730 --> 02:22:57,830
enforceable mechanisms in place for compliance with Cal Green building standards and model water

1767
02:22:57,830 --> 02:23:02,350
efficient landscaping ordinance standards or wheelo.

1768
02:23:03,210 --> 02:23:08,450
The Calgary and wheelo standard, the Calgary and wheelo provisions that are specific to solid

1769
02:23:08,450 --> 02:23:13,750
waste and recycling programs has recommended by Calversycle are included in the ordinance

1770
02:23:13,750 --> 02:23:14,950
presented before you.

1771
02:23:16,150 --> 02:23:25,230
We will also, in the coming year or so, have to process amendments with our current franchise

1772
02:23:25,230 --> 02:23:31,130
agreement with WR. And also I want to note that there is someone's certainty as to how

1773
02:23:31,130 --> 02:23:36,350
the program's function and actual practice, and the city council should expect some minor

1774
02:23:36,350 --> 02:23:42,890
ordinance revisions in the future and revisiting the implementation of some of these other programs.

1775
02:23:43,390 --> 02:23:52,790
This is the most comprehensive legislation relating to landfill, solid waste recycling,

1776
02:23:52,790 --> 02:23:58,550
inorganic ways that has easily come about in the last 30 years.

1777
02:23:59,610 --> 02:24:04,670
So finally, in the interest of internal municipal code consistency, the city will be required

1778
02:24:04,670 --> 02:24:11,970
to significantly revise its current solid ways code, which is at chapter 2 of Article 5.

1779
02:24:12,710 --> 02:24:19,530
And all of these actions will be discussions that you can expect to see coming down to the

1780
02:24:19,530 --> 02:24:20,690
city council in the future.

1781
02:24:22,380 --> 02:24:29,600
With regard to fiscal impact, again, I want to really emphasize the newness and

1782
02:24:29,600 --> 02:24:31,960
comprehensiveness of this legislation.

1783
02:24:32,840 --> 02:24:38,640
1383 implementation will entail additional staffing and administrative costs of both the city

1784
02:24:38,640 --> 02:24:43,460
and WR, as well as capital outweighs by WR.

1785
02:24:44,540 --> 02:24:50,640
So at this time, it's really an accurate account of the additional cost is not known

1786
02:24:50,640 --> 02:24:58,280
and will likely be known until we start to move down the path of actual program implementation.

1787
02:24:59,560 --> 02:25:06,040
The cost of 1383 implementation are most likely to be recovered through a refuse and recycling

1788
02:25:06,040 --> 02:25:11,480
service rate adjustment to be proposed by WR in the coming year or so.

1789
02:25:11,920 --> 02:25:16,540
And or the recovery of city and current cost for administrative fees that would be paid

1790
02:25:16,540 --> 02:25:20,100
by WR through the city's franchise agreement.

1791
02:25:22,920 --> 02:25:27,940
Finally, I would like to note that, I mean, it really does bear emphasis that a robust

1792
02:25:27,940 --> 02:25:33,940
public education program is not only practically needed to accomplish all of this.

1793
02:25:34,140 --> 02:25:36,600
It is actually mandated by the state law.

1794
02:25:37,300 --> 02:25:43,720
The city and coordination with WR will conduct education and outreach to all businesses

1795
02:25:43,720 --> 02:25:49,700
Residents regarding collection service requirements, contaminations, standards, cell

1796
02:25:49,700 --> 02:25:58,100
fall requirements, and overall compliance with SB 1383. Also outreach to the commercial

1797
02:25:58,100 --> 02:26:05,440
edible food generators, regarding edible food donation requirements, and a list of available

1798
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:13,280
edible food recovery organizations. I note that educational material must be linguistically

1799
02:26:13,280 --> 02:26:17,240
accessible to our non-English speaking residents.

1800
02:26:21,780 --> 02:26:24,460
The city's, the city's franchise hall,

1801
02:26:24,900 --> 02:26:26,500
representative from the city's franchise hall,

1802
02:26:26,540 --> 02:26:30,540
or WR has reviewed the ordinance,

1803
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:35,000
WR's staff and management is also reviewed the ordinance,

1804
02:26:35,540 --> 02:26:38,720
and Michelle Nichols with WR is present tonight for further

1805
02:26:38,720 --> 02:26:41,820
comments and questions if any.

1806
02:26:42,180 --> 02:26:44,780
Michelle, I wasn't sure if you wanted to introduce yourself.

1807
02:26:45,620 --> 02:26:48,740
Good evening, everyone. Michelle Nichelle Nichols with waste resources.

1808
02:26:50,260 --> 02:26:50,480
Hi.

1809
02:26:51,380 --> 02:26:51,720
Hello.

1810
02:26:53,060 --> 02:26:54,020
Madam Mayor.

1811
02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:54,700
Yes.

1812
02:26:55,160 --> 02:26:55,460
And we do.

1813
02:26:55,460 --> 02:27:00,180
You know, this idea of a food that's been going to waste.

1814
02:27:00,300 --> 02:27:08,060
You know, I've read statistics about how the millions of tons of food every year goes to waste in America.

1815
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:14,680
And in Carson, we do have some businesses that are already implementing on their own.

1816
02:27:15,680 --> 02:27:21,040
such as Panera Bread and others, where at the end of the day, the food they did not sell,

1817
02:27:21,500 --> 02:27:26,920
they were donate. I've been as the sell paper very, where I've seen the car pull up,

1818
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:31,060
maybe from a church or from other entity that's really helping others.

1819
02:27:33,440 --> 02:27:34,780
The food, this is the soul,

1820
02:27:34,980 --> 02:27:42,040
is then given the free and not growing in the track. And I think that's a great, it's a great idea.

1821
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:47,500
it's really important. It's just a good thing in general. And this, of course,

1822
02:27:48,540 --> 02:27:55,660
codifies it and makes it required, which is fine too. So that being the case, I will

1823
02:27:56,760 --> 02:28:02,520
support staff recommendation on this. And I'll make a motion that we wait for the reading and

1824
02:28:02,520 --> 02:28:08,120
adopt an ordinance of the city council, the city of Carson, California, adding chapter 11 to

1825
02:28:08,120 --> 02:28:14,760
of five sanitation and health of the course of municipal code, which new chapters and

1826
02:28:14,760 --> 02:28:20,740
title codes for specific regulations for organic waste disposal reduction, recycling and

1827
02:28:20,740 --> 02:28:25,900
solid waste collecting and recycling programs, unquote, to enact regulations and

1828
02:28:25,900 --> 02:28:31,780
compliance with Senate Bill 1383 for the implementation of food and organic recycling

1829
02:28:31,780 --> 02:28:37,540
and related solid waste and recycling processing and reporting an option of an exemption

1830
02:28:37,540 --> 02:28:40,260
from the California Environmental Quality Act.

1831
02:28:44,640 --> 02:28:45,160
Conversation.

1832
02:28:45,800 --> 02:28:46,840
You mentioned outreach.

1833
02:28:47,080 --> 02:28:51,220
I know that your eyes are working on something.

1834
02:28:52,080 --> 02:28:54,940
But he's going to be running weed on this outreach to our residents.

1835
02:28:55,880 --> 02:28:58,620
And I know this has to be implemented by the first of the year.

1836
02:28:58,960 --> 02:29:03,020
So I have to come over with a plan as to how they're going to address this community outreach

1837
02:29:03,020 --> 02:29:07,560
and educate our residents because this is going to be a big change for them.

1838
02:29:07,560 --> 02:29:09,220
in the businesses.

1839
02:29:09,420 --> 02:29:10,340
Mm-hmm.

1840
02:29:12,740 --> 02:29:14,060
Who's that representative?

1841
02:29:14,620 --> 02:29:15,440
That's Michelle.

1842
02:29:17,360 --> 02:29:17,520
Yeah.

1843
02:29:17,620 --> 02:29:20,640
We are still working out the details of who's going to do what.

1844
02:29:21,360 --> 02:29:26,200
But as Lana said it, it will be a collaborative effort between PIO and WR.

1845
02:29:26,600 --> 02:29:27,140
Mm-hmm.

1846
02:29:27,360 --> 02:29:30,800
I mean, are we, uh, and I know it's said something about fees.

1847
02:29:31,400 --> 02:29:32,680
Uh, prospering.

1848
02:29:33,000 --> 02:29:34,560
Increase the fees for our residents.

1849
02:29:37,120 --> 02:29:45,920
Yeah, again, it gets to be determined because, functionally, we have a good system in place,

1850
02:29:45,940 --> 02:29:51,420
because you have your three-card system for residents, that the issue then is really,

1851
02:29:51,520 --> 02:29:59,280
it's a matter of making sure that the green bin is now, the green part now includes the mixed organics.

1852
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:07,580
Food waste, your wet cardboard, the piece of ox that's, excuse me, that's greasy, that that goes in the right place.

1853
02:30:07,820 --> 02:30:21,340
And so there will be, we expect there will be a shift in processing costs just because the food is moving out of the trash and into the great into the mixed organics container, but we don't know.

1854
02:30:21,340 --> 02:30:27,500
And so once we get a little more experience, and it's new for everybody, there have been

1855
02:30:27,500 --> 02:30:30,780
some pilot projects around the state the last couple of years.

1856
02:30:30,980 --> 02:30:36,900
A few cities have started servicing already with this revised, recart system in residential

1857
02:30:36,900 --> 02:30:43,400
communities, but there isn't a lot of data to support, you know, how much does this cost,

1858
02:30:43,440 --> 02:30:45,900
you know, perhaps hold or per account.

1859
02:30:46,220 --> 02:30:49,940
I mean, so that's as long to say that, well, we'll work that out as we kind of as we roll

1860
02:30:49,940 --> 02:30:57,280
out. And if we need to make some equipment changes, that also would bear a cost and so that's why it's

1861
02:30:57,280 --> 02:31:01,600
a little nebulous at this point. Okay, thank you. Well, I'm going to

1862
02:31:01,600 --> 02:31:08,880
under discussion on the motion, uh, question for Michelle. Um, just for clarification. You're saying

1863
02:31:08,880 --> 02:31:15,060
that the current green-waste containers, the cart that our resident have, uh, which usually has, um,

1864
02:31:15,060 --> 02:31:24,780
You know, grass and other branches leave from the gardener typically, or the person cleaning up the yard.

1865
02:31:26,360 --> 02:31:35,140
That re-waste container of curly is restricted only to that type of disposal.

1866
02:31:36,180 --> 02:31:36,880
Refuge.

1867
02:31:37,580 --> 02:31:44,740
You're saying now that food waste without the paper, other than what you mentioned,

1868
02:31:45,060 --> 02:31:49,460
maybe that the greasy cardboard from the pizza, which happens quite often in cartoons,

1869
02:31:49,460 --> 02:31:51,100
because we like pizza in person,

1870
02:31:54,160 --> 02:32:00,040
that container is going to get pretty full, and we may

1871
02:32:00,040 --> 02:32:07,960
to bring out two in some situations, because I can imagine a lot of food waste mixed with the

1872
02:32:08,520 --> 02:32:14,320
cuttings is going to be overwhelming that one part. So what are the logistics plans for that

1873
02:32:14,320 --> 02:32:19,520
to Michelle? Well again, we will see thank you, Councilman Deer, our mayor of Rotem Deer.

1874
02:32:20,820 --> 02:32:26,100
It's again, it's to be determined that I was on a call with another city that they said it's only

1875
02:32:26,100 --> 02:32:31,460
three pounds per household per week. So that's maybe a couple of bags that will now go from

1876
02:32:31,460 --> 02:32:36,800
trash to the green. We'll see, I think it's a little low, but we'll see. So what we will be asking

1877
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:42,440
because you're right, the green waste, the grass and the branches and the twigs, do you still

1878
02:32:42,440 --> 02:32:49,120
kind of have to stay separate from the food and then we see paper? We will be asking people to

1879
02:32:49,120 --> 02:32:55,660
as much as possible, that the food waste, paper towels, napkins,

1880
02:32:57,840 --> 02:33:01,380
that kind of stuff will be allowed in the mixed organics.

1881
02:33:01,560 --> 02:33:13,700
Again, if we can bag it and put it in the green, that would be best so that when it gets to our facility where we separate it out, we can separate the food and the organic from the green waste from the rest of the organics.

1882
02:33:13,700 --> 02:33:15,960
And it doesn't file either system.

1883
02:33:16,200 --> 02:33:32,460
And so we don't expect having to increase routing or at another truck, but we may have some instances where either you need a bigger green cart or a second when it will depend on the customers and how much, you know, how much food waste they have.

1884
02:33:32,460 --> 02:33:36,420
but a plastic bag would be acceptable to throw into this.

1885
02:33:37,240 --> 02:33:40,380
I think like you do now, we often use plastic bags.

1886
02:33:40,820 --> 02:33:45,780
Hopefully something biodegradable, but often not, unfortunately.

1887
02:33:47,000 --> 02:33:50,080
It's actually a great, great, great container,

1888
02:33:52,200 --> 02:33:54,460
and or a black-lit container.

1889
02:33:57,420 --> 02:34:02,440
So you would imagine the food waste mixing with the other way.

1890
02:34:02,440 --> 02:34:12,780
in the container labeled track, is that, as opposed to the green, the food waste we're

1891
02:34:12,780 --> 02:34:19,380
doing in the green lid, and so the bags, you're right, it doesn't, the technology that

1892
02:34:19,380 --> 02:34:24,340
we have separates the food from the packaging, so it'll take the food away from the bag,

1893
02:34:24,780 --> 02:34:29,980
so that's why we're okay with a bag, so it could be produce bags, it could be, because I know

1894
02:34:29,980 --> 02:34:33,220
Nobody uses grocery, you know, plastic grocery bags anymore, right?

1895
02:34:33,280 --> 02:34:37,600
We all bring home reusable bags, but there are still bags that exist in our lives.

1896
02:34:37,800 --> 02:34:43,660
We have the produce bags, bread bags, other shopping bags that come from another from

1897
02:34:43,660 --> 02:34:45,640
some other store department stores, perhaps.

1898
02:34:46,160 --> 02:34:52,200
So to the extent that you still get bags in your house, use those up, and those, again,

1899
02:34:52,360 --> 02:34:58,200
will go in the green cart, because it will now be a mixed organic cart versus just a green

1900
02:34:58,200 --> 02:34:58,840
waste cart.

1901
02:34:58,840 --> 02:35:04,040
And we have a list of what is a mixed organic, you know, what goes in the green car.

1902
02:35:04,220 --> 02:35:09,860
There's an education curve that has to be back forward. I'm not sure your company will do that.

1903
02:35:10,140 --> 02:35:14,380
Oh yeah, yeah, and there are, there are, uh,

1904
02:35:15,640 --> 02:35:21,420
Project procedures, wait, we are the city, the city, but through this, us through the city,

1905
02:35:21,420 --> 02:35:29,300
have to go and check on contamination and argue properly separating the three materials and the state

1906
02:35:29,300 --> 02:35:37,960
is pushing down finds and flaps on the hand for not following the three container system.

1907
02:35:38,580 --> 02:35:43,230
And again, the three containers will translate to the commercial sector as well.

1908
02:35:43,230 --> 02:35:50,510
So businesses that generate a certain amount of material, of total solid waste per week,

1909
02:35:51,270 --> 02:35:53,270
and multi-families now have to do the food waste.

1910
02:35:53,370 --> 02:36:00,270
Also, whereas before they didn't have to, on your other legislation, but it's the same

1911
02:36:00,270 --> 02:36:02,330
three colors throughout the state.

1912
02:36:02,450 --> 02:36:05,110
So there is some consistency statewide.

1913
02:36:05,290 --> 02:36:09,350
Wherever you go, you know that a blue container is for dry bottles and cans.

1914
02:36:09,350 --> 02:36:15,740
The green container would be for food and the napkin and you're biodegradable fork if you have it

1915
02:36:16,610 --> 02:36:19,820
Okay, thank you. That's very clear. I appreciate that that too much

1916
02:36:20,550 --> 02:36:22,190
No, no, that's enough detail

1917
02:36:22,710 --> 02:36:29,540
Okay, yeah, madam man. Yes, my question to Michelle would be what goes into the black trash can

1918
02:36:30,230 --> 02:36:34,010
There won't be much left. It will be in organic material

1919
02:36:35,070 --> 02:36:41,530
carpet can technically carpet is organic but it would go in the black if you have broken

1920
02:36:41,530 --> 02:36:46,750
dishes that you cannot donate old clothing that you cannot donate because it's just too

1921
02:36:46,750 --> 02:36:53,830
tattered things like that it gets actually pretty limited chip bag you know your bag of

1922
02:36:53,830 --> 02:37:00,470
Doritos not recyclable not organic sorry it's gonna have to go in the black diapers kitty litter

1923
02:37:00,470 --> 02:37:08,650
Um, if you are our website, we have updates of our the labeling and so it shows you what's left in the black and it's not a whole lot.

1924
02:37:09,330 --> 02:37:17,330
And that's the purpose of 1383 is really, it's really a focus on removing organics from land cells.

1925
02:37:21,550 --> 02:37:22,590
Thank you.

1926
02:37:22,590 --> 02:37:24,730
any more questions?

1927
02:37:27,670 --> 02:37:28,870
There's been moved and properly

1928
02:37:28,870 --> 02:37:30,810
session on and saved for signify by saying

1929
02:37:32,250 --> 02:37:32,910
I.

1930
02:37:33,090 --> 02:37:34,810
Madam City Clerk.

1931
02:37:36,950 --> 02:37:37,510
Madam.

1932
02:37:38,700 --> 02:37:39,350
Thank you.

1933
02:37:40,130 --> 02:37:42,970
Item number 30 is COVID-19

1934
02:37:42,970 --> 02:37:44,590
update from City.

1935
02:37:46,210 --> 02:37:47,190
Thank you.

1936
02:37:47,390 --> 02:37:48,570
Madam Mayor, I'm giving it

1937
02:37:48,570 --> 02:37:50,790
ring, ring and song hour.

1938
02:37:51,210 --> 02:37:52,630
Emergency services manager

1939
02:37:52,630 --> 02:37:55,390
back to make a brief report

1940
02:37:55,390 --> 02:37:57,310
on where we always COVID-19.

1941
02:38:17,410 --> 02:38:19,010
We don't hear you. We see the chart.

1942
02:38:19,330 --> 02:38:25,390
Oh, sorry about that. Thank you Madam City Manager. Good evening again. These are our latest

1943
02:38:25,390 --> 02:38:33,690
numbers. If you look at the chart, it's still looking like a downward trend. Obviously, it has

1944
02:38:33,690 --> 02:38:43,790
slowed since the summer. We're approximately looking at 50 cases per week per 100,000.

1945
02:38:43,790 --> 02:38:47,950
which takes us roughly around to where we were in April.

1946
02:38:48,870 --> 02:38:53,890
The vaccination rate, we are up to 82.8%

1947
02:38:53,890 --> 02:38:56,210
which is really good.

1948
02:38:56,870 --> 02:39:00,410
And on the vaccinations, there are some news.

1949
02:39:01,990 --> 02:39:04,470
The COVID-19 vaccine boosters,

1950
02:39:05,030 --> 02:39:09,270
mix and match were approved by the FDA and the CDC.

1951
02:39:09,270 --> 02:39:15,030
And depending on which one you had you had taken,

1952
02:39:15,690 --> 02:39:19,650
there are different eligibility guidelines.

1953
02:39:20,390 --> 02:39:24,630
So if you had taken the Pfizer or the Moderna shot,

1954
02:39:24,930 --> 02:39:26,990
your eligible if you're 65 or older,

1955
02:39:27,750 --> 02:39:30,830
18 plus if you live in long-term care settings,

1956
02:39:31,130 --> 02:39:32,950
have underlying medical conditions or work

1957
02:39:32,950 --> 02:39:34,390
or live in high-risk settings.

1958
02:39:36,190 --> 02:39:36,870
When you get a booster,

1959
02:39:36,870 --> 02:39:42,530
It would be six months after the second shot and again, it's mixing match now. So if you got Pfizer

1960
02:39:42,530 --> 02:39:51,690
You can get Menter. You can get Johnson and Johnson. If you got Johnson and Johnson, you can get a booster if you are 18 or older

1961
02:39:51,690 --> 02:39:56,250
Two months after you got your last shot and again any of the any of the booster shots

1962
02:39:56,250 --> 02:39:58,150
You're allowed to get

1963
02:39:59,050 --> 02:40:02,350
Raymond too much after you get your red wish at your take a booster

1964
02:40:03,190 --> 02:40:10,950
if if you received the Johnson and Johnson one. Oh, okay. I've received it. So, I received the

1965
02:40:10,950 --> 02:40:16,530
Moderna and I'm saying, we should not get a boost in a year instead of six months, I haven't seen that.

1966
02:40:16,950 --> 02:40:24,770
Yes, you are eligible to receive one after six months, so you could wait a year, but they recommend

1967
02:40:24,770 --> 02:40:27,910
after six months, you can get a booster. Okay.

1968
02:40:30,580 --> 02:40:33,700
Also, just yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration

1969
02:40:33,700 --> 02:40:42,720
authorized emergency use of Pfizer for children ages 5 through 11. They found that the vaccine was

1970
02:40:42,720 --> 02:40:50,180
both safe and effective for this group, 5 through 11, and there are places that are currently

1971
02:40:50,180 --> 02:40:57,200
vaccinating those ages today. For both the booster and this vaccination for 5 through 11,

1972
02:40:57,200 --> 02:41:05,020
folks can go to vaccinatelakecounty.com and that's the best way to find a place to

1973
02:41:05,020 --> 02:41:11,600
vaccinate it. It can also go to their personal doctor and I get the shot that way as

1974
02:41:11,600 --> 02:41:12,500
well.

1975
02:41:16,530 --> 02:41:23,130
And just to read comment, my understanding, I mean, maybe you know, we're definitely the

1976
02:41:23,130 --> 02:41:28,510
value of the vaccination for children is half a dose. So that's the change that they're

1977
02:41:28,510 --> 02:41:30,990
It's not the same as in adultos.

1978
02:41:31,370 --> 02:41:31,410
Correct.

1979
02:41:31,610 --> 02:41:41,130
It is a smaller dose for the Pfizer, normally for adults is 30 milligrams and for the kids

1980
02:41:41,130 --> 02:41:42,590
one it's 10.

1981
02:41:43,350 --> 02:41:44,790
So it is a smaller dose.

1982
02:41:47,790 --> 02:41:52,510
Do we have any plans for doing our own booster clinics?

1983
02:41:53,970 --> 02:41:57,370
The clinics that we have include our third shots.

1984
02:41:57,810 --> 02:41:59,110
We're second shots if you're a danger.

1985
02:41:59,110 --> 02:41:59,990
And

1986
02:42:03,920 --> 02:42:06,780
we have a date for them coming up soon. Any dates?

1987
02:42:07,840 --> 02:42:12,820
Raymond, do you have a fire with those dates? I know that it's in the staff report.

1988
02:42:13,300 --> 02:42:17,240
Yeah, not on this one. We shared it the last time. It's every other Wednesday.

1989
02:42:21,250 --> 02:42:28,790
Let me, let me grab that slide and while I direct your Linux finishes off this.

1990
02:42:31,510 --> 02:42:32,710
Thank you.

1991
02:42:32,710 --> 02:42:33,310
Thank you.

1992
02:42:33,330 --> 02:42:33,670
Thank you, Raymond.

1993
02:42:34,010 --> 02:42:34,330
Good evening.

1994
02:42:35,070 --> 02:42:35,830
Madam Mayor and Council.

1995
02:42:36,630 --> 02:42:41,750
This is just a quick update on the last event that occurred this past week.

1996
02:42:42,490 --> 02:42:46,230
For those that had the opportunity to drop by, we did have a Halloween drive through.

1997
02:42:46,230 --> 02:42:51,530
Very similar structure and format to last year during the height of the dependemic.

1998
02:42:51,670 --> 02:42:53,550
We continue that successful program.

1999
02:42:53,550 --> 02:43:06,790
And as you can see, we had really about 360 vehicles that did pass through that were registered for the event, and in addition to that 927 kids were part of that.

2000
02:43:06,790 --> 02:43:10,550
I'm sorry, excuse me, Raymond, I think we're seeing your computer screen.

2001
02:43:11,310 --> 02:43:12,070
Sorry about that.

2002
02:43:13,350 --> 02:43:15,010
Okay, sorry, Robert, go ahead.

2003
02:43:17,520 --> 02:43:18,100
Thank you.

2004
02:43:18,100 --> 02:43:26,620
And also, like last year, we did benefit from partnerships with some of our local businesses,

2005
02:43:26,780 --> 02:43:32,400
including the double-tree norms restaurant Phillips 66 and Chick-fil-A, who all contributed

2006
02:43:32,400 --> 02:43:35,160
to the goody bags that we get out to families and kids.

2007
02:43:36,160 --> 02:43:37,220
Next slide, please.

2008
02:43:49,300 --> 02:43:50,600
Well, there's some technical difficulties.

2009
02:44:19,510 --> 02:44:21,090
Madam, did you manage her?

2010
02:44:21,550 --> 02:44:22,510
Yes, Councilman.

2011
02:44:22,890 --> 02:44:27,330
Just want to make sure that you've got Phillips 66, the spill it wrong, and Chick-fil-A is wrong

2012
02:44:27,330 --> 02:44:28,630
on the track.

2013
02:44:30,970 --> 02:44:33,090
Those businesses may be wrong.

2014
02:44:33,910 --> 02:44:34,390
No, didn't.

2015
02:44:36,170 --> 02:44:42,610
And the rest of the slides are just highlighting some of the settings that staff put together

2016
02:44:42,610 --> 02:44:49,670
against Park Head a role in constructing some of the scenery and obviously staff in those

2017
02:44:49,670 --> 02:44:54,850
greeting all of the patrons as they drove through, if you can see on the screen.

2018
02:44:54,850 --> 02:44:56,190
Um, next slide.

2019
02:44:58,430 --> 02:44:59,190
And a few more pictures.

2020
02:45:00,080 --> 02:45:08,800
A lot of creative ideas from staff to really make the experience festive and try to still maintain our social distancing.

2021
02:45:09,080 --> 02:45:13,960
It's sort of unique about the Halloween season. It's a very tactile experience.

2022
02:45:15,040 --> 02:45:23,380
This is the best I think we should be doing during the Halloween time, which is a little different from other season movements. Next slide.

2023
02:45:25,040 --> 02:45:35,400
And just to highlight, like last year, this event did get sold out or registered out, meaning we had no vacant slots in each of the time slots.

2024
02:45:36,240 --> 02:45:51,320
So, very popular, just like it was last year. And so, once we were fully out of the pandemic, it would be interesting to see what elements of this format we tried to maintain and keep and what we expanded upon and trying to reestute some of the traditional holiday,

2025
02:45:51,320 --> 02:45:55,120
I just had Halloween experience, so without on complete.

2026
02:45:57,710 --> 02:45:59,150
Well, thank you.

2027
02:45:59,650 --> 02:46:04,430
I want to thank you, Robert, you and your staff, because your staff has been taxed.

2028
02:46:04,690 --> 02:46:10,910
It has worked the EOC around the clock seven days a week, and then to come back and do this event.

2029
02:46:13,830 --> 02:46:18,810
It's just a lot of work, and it shows the dedication that they have to the city,

2030
02:46:18,810 --> 02:46:24,310
because it takes a lot to put on these events and be there that many hours and then also

2031
02:46:24,310 --> 02:46:29,610
going well with the ELC. So just extend my this year's appreciation to them for all

2032
02:46:29,610 --> 02:46:38,380
that they do. I call them the ageing. Absolutely. We appreciate it. Any more comments or questions?

2033
02:46:41,540 --> 02:46:45,480
This is just that flyer for me and the booster that's not been ever the other Wednesday.

2034
02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:46,220
Just

2035
02:46:52,230 --> 02:46:59,550
to address again, I think with Councilman Hicks, your point is to say the vaccine and

2036
02:46:59,550 --> 02:47:00,010
booster.

2037
02:47:02,250 --> 02:47:05,370
So not everybody is eligible for that booster.

2038
02:47:06,010 --> 02:47:08,630
I just want to just make sure the public is aware.

2039
02:47:08,930 --> 02:47:15,610
It's for 65 and older or folks with underlying health issues.

2040
02:47:15,610 --> 02:47:25,570
So, for the vaccine itself, at this point, starting with age five and up, and the booster

2041
02:47:25,570 --> 02:47:27,430
is restricted for the moment.

2042
02:47:29,050 --> 02:47:34,310
And my correct answer, we have the Banderna and I am not the advisor.

2043
02:47:35,190 --> 02:47:36,110
Johnson and Johnson.

2044
02:47:38,400 --> 02:47:41,340
We only have the one booster, advisor.

2045
02:47:42,300 --> 02:47:48,060
Well, that's a really good question, because the booster from the journey was only recently

2046
02:47:48,060 --> 02:47:48,600
approved.

2047
02:47:49,460 --> 02:47:56,440
So, remaining would you confirm whether or not we're able to now have both available or for

2048
02:47:56,440 --> 02:48:00,740
some reason, as you as health care is only providing the Pfizer one?

2049
02:48:00,920 --> 02:48:07,840
You may not know right now, but if that's changed, we need to update our information and get

2050
02:48:07,840 --> 02:48:11,400
new information to everybody including the council.

2051
02:48:13,910 --> 02:48:15,290
Yeah, we got the check with you as health

2052
02:48:15,290 --> 02:48:24,090
bears on that. Oh, not a mayor. If your health bears is not able to obtain Moderna and

2053
02:48:24,090 --> 02:48:31,950
or Johnson and Johnson, we may want to go with another organization because a lot of the

2054
02:48:31,950 --> 02:48:38,010
residents are questioning whether or not they can mix different manufacturers products.

2055
02:48:38,010 --> 02:48:43,510
I thought the question came up some time ago, but you know, I don't think there's a definitive answer that's

2056
02:48:44,030 --> 02:48:44,610
it was.

2057
02:48:44,930 --> 02:48:45,150
Yeah.

2058
02:48:45,510 --> 02:48:46,230
Could you give it?

2059
02:48:46,230 --> 02:48:46,390
Can you give it?

2060
02:48:47,130 --> 02:48:47,470
Yeah.

2061
02:48:47,810 --> 02:48:49,450
Thank you for asking that.

2062
02:48:49,750 --> 02:48:50,070
You're welcome.

2063
02:48:50,590 --> 02:49:01,090
So the Johnson and Johnson boost our one shot, it's recommended by, yes it's the CTC, that you

2064
02:49:01,090 --> 02:49:05,850
could follow it with, and I think Raymond said two months later, that you could follow

2065
02:49:05,850 --> 02:49:11,950
either the Pfizer or the Moderna. And then for the other two, the Pfizer and Moderna, when you've

2066
02:49:11,950 --> 02:49:19,350
gotten the two shots, you can follow either one of them with the other, not the J&J, but with

2067
02:49:19,350 --> 02:49:25,430
the other. So if you got your Pfizer shots six months later, if you were in the category that

2068
02:49:25,430 --> 02:49:32,430
qualifies for a booster, you can get a Pfizer or Moderna. If you got Moderna, you can get six months

2069
02:49:32,430 --> 02:49:34,850
later, either the Pfizer or the McGregor.

2070
02:49:36,970 --> 02:49:40,930
Okay, that answers the question, because that is a big question for our residents.

2071
02:49:41,270 --> 02:49:45,310
I appreciate that public information, I'm sure they do as well.

2072
02:49:45,690 --> 02:49:47,770
I appreciate it.

2073
02:49:47,890 --> 02:49:50,530
I, you know, mix and mix that, I'll wait and get some Moderna.

2074
02:49:53,660 --> 02:49:53,960
Okay.

2075
02:49:54,120 --> 02:49:54,900
I'm going to wait too.

2076
02:49:54,940 --> 02:49:55,900
I don't want to mix them.

2077
02:49:56,140 --> 02:49:57,660
You want it all in the same family.

2078
02:49:59,000 --> 02:49:59,400
That's right.

2079
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:00,340
I don't know.

2080
02:50:00,460 --> 02:50:04,600
I think the council members ought to be the first ones to experiment with the mixing.

2081
02:50:04,600 --> 02:50:06,800
I'm just kidding, no.

2082
02:50:07,920 --> 02:50:09,520
Which one did you have, Jim?

2083
02:50:09,860 --> 02:50:10,360
Oh, Moderna.

2084
02:50:10,920 --> 02:50:12,560
Well, you're waiting on like me.

2085
02:50:12,900 --> 02:50:14,100
Okay, anything else?

2086
02:50:14,160 --> 02:50:15,520
Man, I'm pretty mad.

2087
02:50:15,760 --> 02:50:17,260
No, I believe on that item.

2088
02:50:17,560 --> 02:50:19,280
That we can clear that item.

2089
02:50:21,800 --> 02:50:24,720
So the next item is item number 31.

2090
02:50:26,380 --> 02:50:28,760
And on this one, Madam Mayor and Council,

2091
02:50:28,880 --> 02:50:29,940
I'm going to ask,

2092
02:50:29,940 --> 02:50:35,620
on the our community development director is saying to say to make a brief presentation on

2093
02:50:36,460 --> 02:50:42,360
something that we've discussed previously related to conditional use of this particular property

2094
02:50:42,360 --> 02:50:45,820
and say if you can go ahead and make your presentation.

2095
02:50:46,580 --> 02:50:52,660
Thank you Madam City Manager. Good evening Madam Mayor, Members of City Council.

2096
02:50:53,340 --> 02:50:59,300
The proposed resolution extends to Council's previous approval to October 31,

2097
02:50:59,300 --> 02:51:06,280
of 2022 and allows the property owner to store cars and vans on the property located at

2098
02:51:06,280 --> 02:51:13,820
2.0151 South Main Street. The resolution also allows staff and city attorney to extend

2099
02:51:13,820 --> 02:51:20,520
the period for an additional six months. Percent to this resolution, the property owner is required

2100
02:51:20,520 --> 02:51:29,180
to pay the city a heavy vehicle transit fee of $10416 per acre portion of the site that are used for

2101
02:51:29,300 --> 02:51:35,600
vehicle storage. That concludes my report and this is an extension.

2102
02:51:38,250 --> 02:51:41,510
Yes. Yeah. Okay. I'll

2103
02:51:41,510 --> 02:51:49,270
entertain any conversation. I'll make motion manner. I'll move the agenda forward. I

2104
02:51:49,270 --> 02:51:53,870
know that's what you're interested in doing. We are all are interested in that. So I

2105
02:51:53,870 --> 02:52:03,070
move I move that we wait for the reading adopt resolution number 21-142. A resolution of the

2106

So you guys have any tonight and we'll go down the list.

2121
02:52:59,530 --> 02:53:04,990
I have to remove someone because I'm looking at economic development and I need to make room for the new person.

2122
02:53:04,990 --> 02:53:09,950
So I am going to remove two so I can move one to an alternate and I'm going to remove

That's fine.

Then the next one is Madam Mayor, do you want to go on it one at a time?

There, I said something the day before.

This is even after that.

2184
02:56:57,860 --> 02:56:59,020
I received this today.

2185
02:57:03,210 --> 02:57:05,930
And so is that all you need in the matter of city clearance?

2195
02:57:33,060 --> 02:57:34,840
and then I'll go to each one of you guys.

2196
02:57:37,460 --> 02:57:39,720
Madam City Clerk memorial adjournments.

2197
02:57:48,390 --> 02:57:54,570
But first we'd like to offer our Persian condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones.

2198
02:57:54,930 --> 02:57:59,690
And we question that this means evenings meeting be a journey memory of the following.

2199
02:58:00,610 --> 02:58:06,470
Christopher Smith, Edith Medina, Vera Thompson,

2200
02:58:08,050 --> 02:58:11,950
and if there are other things that may have counted it like to add,

2201
02:58:11,950 --> 02:58:14,190
You should have Kalki on there.

2202
02:58:14,410 --> 02:58:14,810
Oh, Kalki.

2203
02:58:19,450 --> 02:58:19,510
Hmm.

2204
02:58:19,510 --> 02:58:20,370
I'll call some members.

2205
02:58:20,470 --> 02:58:21,430
Do you have any additional?

2206
02:58:23,090 --> 02:58:24,130
Have one.

2207
02:58:24,310 --> 02:58:25,250
Nothing hit.

2208
02:58:25,670 --> 02:58:26,930
Uh, Kalki now Alexander.

2209
02:58:27,230 --> 02:58:29,070
He was the owner of the smoking pot.

2210
02:58:29,230 --> 02:58:30,570
That was in our city on Abalan.

2211
02:58:30,790 --> 02:58:31,610
Pass away.

2212
02:58:32,310 --> 02:58:32,710
Kalki.

2213
02:58:32,930 --> 02:58:33,850
From Kalki.

2214
02:58:37,090 --> 02:58:37,610
Okay.

2215
02:58:38,690 --> 02:58:39,630
Is that it?

2216
02:58:42,810 --> 02:58:43,870
Kalki was the hilton?

2217
02:58:44,130 --> 02:58:44,430
Bishop?

2218
02:58:45,030 --> 02:58:46,070
Yes, fuck.

2219
02:58:46,390 --> 02:58:48,930
Father, you've heard all the names that we've read tonight.

2220
02:58:48,930 --> 02:59:03,590
We pray for these families, we pray for our community, we pray that you would just hold this closer as we suffer this time of bereadment, bless the families in Jesus name. Amen.

2221
02:59:03,590 --> 02:59:03,970
Yeah.

2222
02:59:06,150 --> 02:59:10,670
Um, councilman, I'm not councilman, Kevin, there are only all communication for matters

2223
02:59:10,670 --> 02:59:11,910
not listed on the agenda.

2224
02:59:12,230 --> 02:59:13,850
Does anyone keep that?

2225
02:59:13,970 --> 02:59:15,650
I don't see anybody keep that there.

2226
02:59:16,150 --> 02:59:16,230
Okay.

2227
02:59:16,830 --> 02:59:18,810
Council reports for future items.

2228
02:59:19,890 --> 02:59:22,170
Madam Mayor, I have two.

2229
02:59:22,770 --> 02:59:28,750
One, I request that the mobile home park is only ordinance that I've been advocating to be

2230
02:59:28,750 --> 02:59:29,590
put on the agenda.

2231
02:59:29,590 --> 02:59:35,870
Second, I'm requesting that the ordinance to rescind the two thirds

2232
02:59:36,710 --> 02:59:42,010
supermajority to our agenda ordinance be added to the agenda as well.

2233
02:59:42,230 --> 02:59:42,970
Thank you.

2234
02:59:43,110 --> 02:59:45,210
Any more items in more requests?

2235
02:59:45,730 --> 02:59:46,130
Madam.

2236
02:59:46,930 --> 02:59:47,170
Oh.

2237
02:59:48,090 --> 02:59:50,190
I don't have a request, Madam Mayor.

2238
02:59:50,350 --> 02:59:51,770
I just want to take knowledge.

2239
02:59:51,770 --> 02:59:59,950
training humanists for today. He dropped off a check from Watsonland for

2240
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:08,800
$10,000 to the treasurer. He also dropped off a check from a knowledge, watch some land, would like to acknowledge

2241
03:00:08,800 --> 03:00:15,140
Carson companies for dropping off a $10,000 check and acknowledge output and output for dropping off

2242
03:00:15,140 --> 03:00:29,980
a $5,000 check to help us get residents and to hotels, to get purifiers. This is to help with the

2243
03:00:29,980 --> 03:00:36,380
just want to take knowledge them and dropping off these checks. He hand delivered these checks

2244
03:00:36,380 --> 03:00:43,160
to our treasure today in the total amount of $25,000 to help us in the efforts of relief.

2245
03:00:43,840 --> 03:00:49,400
So I wanted to make sure that Watson Land Carson Company's an album and an album was acknowledged.

2246
03:00:49,400 --> 03:00:57,300
Thank you. They came through. Thank you Madam City Manager and the conference was reporting.

2247
03:00:58,500 --> 03:01:00,040
Okay. Any other comments?

2248
03:01:00,820 --> 03:01:01,580
Madam Mayor.

2249
03:01:01,780 --> 03:01:02,140
Yes.

2250
03:01:02,660 --> 03:01:06,280
I do have two one and I may have missed it.

2251
03:01:06,300 --> 03:01:09,160
Do we have to the City Manager a homeless plan?

2252
03:01:09,360 --> 03:01:12,820
What do we have in place for our homeless people in our city?

2253
03:01:13,440 --> 03:01:15,600
And if we had a homeless plan,

2254
03:01:15,600 --> 03:01:19,660
When is it being executed or the process number two?

2255
03:01:20,900 --> 03:01:28,940
We need to look at doing a website update to our website. It needs to be updated. It's outdated and it's process and

2256
03:01:29,520 --> 03:01:31,580
Hopefully we can get a

2257
03:01:31,580 --> 03:01:36,880
Cup in can come in or maybe we have someone on staff that can do some upgrades to our website

2258
03:01:38,360 --> 03:01:40,440
So on that may I address

2259
03:01:41,000 --> 03:01:43,480
May I address council member?

2260
03:01:43,860 --> 03:01:48,760
Yeah, on the home is an issue, I would like you to bring back a report on that without trying to address it.

2261
03:01:48,960 --> 03:01:54,460
Then I also want to look at the ordinance that was passed by LA recently on a dress in the home.

2262
03:01:54,660 --> 03:01:58,640
So I like a report back instead of you winged it tonight, but I'm not sure.

2263
03:01:59,020 --> 03:02:01,580
I was going to suggest that exact thing.

2264
03:02:01,840 --> 03:02:05,680
I would like to bring back a report at our next council meeting.

2265
03:02:06,300 --> 03:02:08,660
That was a request to bring it back.

2266
03:02:09,100 --> 03:02:09,440
Okay.

2267
03:02:09,440 --> 03:02:22,360
I mean, Madam Mayor, again, I guess I do want to congratulate Mila for an election well done,

2268
03:02:22,500 --> 03:02:29,900
and also want to congratulate Arlene, and also as Mayor Pro Tempset, all those who kind

2269
03:02:29,900 --> 03:02:37,440
of put themselves out to run, so congratulations, look forward to working with this new team.

2270
03:02:39,220 --> 03:02:43,200
And I like to congratulate them all run for City Council as a open book.

2271
03:02:43,360 --> 03:02:49,920
I mean, any like it off or so, when you're sick, just have there you have to be ready to fight and fight

2272
03:02:49,920 --> 03:02:50,500
with a battle.

2273
03:02:50,940 --> 03:02:52,800
And you got to have a thick skin.

2274
03:02:54,580 --> 03:02:56,060
So that's for sure.

2275
03:02:56,480 --> 03:02:56,500
Yeah.

2276
03:02:56,860 --> 03:03:00,360
Under all, I mean, interrupt the announcement or you.

2277
03:03:00,360 --> 03:03:03,440
Can I just, I'm sorry, wait a second, Sharon.

2278
03:03:03,700 --> 03:03:03,940
Wait a second.

2279
03:03:05,240 --> 03:03:07,400
Wait a second.

2280
03:03:07,400 --> 03:03:12,380
he said he wanted to come back and report I'm sorry in a report you had a second

2281
03:03:12,380 --> 03:03:17,340
question sir about the website bring back what about our website update we are

2282
03:03:17,340 --> 03:03:22,240
doing that having is working on that and you bring that as an information items of

2283
03:03:22,240 --> 03:03:28,040
the entire council when that was happening so under all communications I just want

2284
03:03:28,040 --> 03:03:33,180
to commend the staff and I'll call these my city attorney for taking this next step

2285
03:03:33,180 --> 03:03:41,340
And filing a lawsuit against everybody that's involved in this Mingus Channel, I think that the city of Carson has been patient.

2286
03:03:41,780 --> 03:03:44,420
Some of them said we didn't react immediately.

2287
03:03:45,180 --> 03:03:48,920
Some say, you know, we all in this together.

2288
03:03:49,100 --> 03:03:51,840
So if I didn't react immediately, that means none of us reacted immediately.

2289
03:03:52,500 --> 03:03:56,380
Because at any given time, any person on this city council will make a request to do anything.

2290
03:03:56,600 --> 03:03:58,360
It's not a one stop.

2291
03:03:58,360 --> 03:04:03,580
So, I'll be waiting on the mayor, we wait on each other to make a recommendation on how we want to proceed.

2292
03:04:04,540 --> 03:04:09,720
One mind doesn't know all the answers, that's why it's called five member city council.

2293
03:04:10,520 --> 03:04:14,900
I think we did this when we went through the COVID-19 update.

2294
03:04:15,040 --> 03:04:19,660
It was all finalists working together to get information to our residents and services.

2295
03:04:19,660 --> 03:04:27,640
So never say that we did and I know that there was a request to go to the State Environmental Protection Agency.

2296
03:04:28,020 --> 03:04:40,360
Did not hear that earlier in our request as a part of the recommendation of how a consultant and outside person to investigate but with all our findings of Sharon.

2297
03:04:42,220 --> 03:04:45,620
I'm sorry, well, did you hear what you said?

2298
03:04:45,680 --> 03:04:49,480
I'm in a protection agency to get involved in helping us solve this problem.

2299
03:04:49,820 --> 03:04:51,420
I believe they've already been asked.

2300
03:04:53,340 --> 03:04:54,340
That's what I thought.

2301
03:04:57,240 --> 03:05:01,360
And so, together we will get through this.

2302
03:05:02,400 --> 03:05:06,640
And I want to say to our residents, if you're having trouble

2303
03:05:06,640 --> 03:05:14,700
standing your homes at a 307-600 number. Still available. The 211 number, I don't know how effective that is to public

2304
03:05:14,700 --> 03:05:22,740
works. I've gotten a lot of complaints about that. And to the staff is working the ELC, my hat builds off

2305
03:05:22,740 --> 03:05:28,680
of you because you have been working around the clock. But we're going to move forward and we're going to do

2306
03:05:28,680 --> 03:05:34,240
we have to do. From say we moved a little slower, but we're going to make it happen. Thank you. MPT.

2307
03:05:34,240 --> 03:05:36,220
Yes, thank you.

2308
03:05:36,320 --> 03:06:03,460
Under all communications from council members, two things I have tonight, one is, I did make the request at the press conference today on behalf of this people of the city of Carson that the federal EPA, not just the state, the federal EPA do a thorough and precise investigation as to the real cause of this, this stench that's affecting our city.

2309
03:06:03,460 --> 03:06:12,780
so negatively the situation is it's got to be cured as soon as possible and we all agree

2310
03:06:12,780 --> 03:06:13,720
with that.

2311
03:06:14,080 --> 03:06:19,460
A second point I'd like to make under the Oral Communications is that again, congratulations

2312
03:06:19,460 --> 03:06:31,280
to Mila Romain and to Arlene Rojas for their election and I think as a city we out of

2313
03:06:31,280 --> 03:06:37,320
move forward with certifying the election, as soon as the county board of supervisors receives

2314
03:06:37,320 --> 03:06:43,100
the document from the LA County Registrar Recorder County Clerk's office. As soon as they

2315
03:06:43,100 --> 03:06:51,840
approve it, we should approve it and get Mila Raman into the city clerk's position as soon as possible.

2316
03:06:52,100 --> 03:06:57,260
We don't have a city clerk. We don't have a chief deputy city clerk. So I think that's essential.

2317
03:06:57,260 --> 03:07:07,080
and of course bringing Arlene Rojas forward on to the City Council as soon as possible would be the wisest decision for us as a city hall.

2318
03:07:07,420 --> 03:07:08,160
Thank you.

2319
03:07:08,280 --> 03:07:10,700
Yes, and I think it has been done at our regular meeting.

2320
03:07:10,860 --> 03:07:14,240
It will be certified and we have a meeting on December 3rd, I think.

2321
03:07:14,820 --> 03:07:20,260
So that's why we did in Cancel because we don't want to wait for January 3rd December 3rd.

2322
03:07:20,260 --> 03:07:30,120
Yes, probably. Usually the county certified in the beginning of December and our first meeting is on the

2323
03:07:30,120 --> 03:07:41,040
7 last if they certified by then we'll be able to do that otherwise it would be at our next meeting, which is the 21st and that will be the only thing on the agenda

2324
03:07:41,040 --> 03:07:45,400
We have to wait. That's your if that's your wish. Okay

2325
03:07:47,640 --> 03:07:53,820
Okay, so we need to go back and to close the session.

2326
03:07:54,220 --> 03:07:56,020
There's a couple of two items that need to be completed.

2327
03:07:57,680 --> 03:07:59,400
Do you want my health again, you see?

2328
03:08:00,700 --> 03:08:04,500
Madam Mayor, fortunately, I'm sure everybody sees what's going on.

2329
03:08:06,160 --> 03:08:07,900
It's very sensitive to light.

2330
03:08:08,180 --> 03:08:10,560
That's why I have to turn the camera off a couple of times.

2331
03:08:10,560 --> 03:08:17,840
I'm not sure if it's the reaction of being in this environment, but it's very sensitive to light.

2332
03:08:18,260 --> 03:08:20,180
So no, I barely can see.

2333
03:08:20,840 --> 03:08:22,400
So I'm pushing my way down.

2334
03:08:22,400 --> 03:08:23,900
I thought you were waking at me.

2335
03:08:24,000 --> 03:08:24,200
No.

2336
03:08:25,260 --> 03:08:28,440
You do look well at little mostly, but I wasn't waking at you.

2337
03:08:28,440 --> 03:08:30,240
I'm sure Harry got that under control.

2338
03:08:31,020 --> 03:08:32,960
We want to recess the closed session.

2339
03:08:33,140 --> 03:08:35,640
We should be back in about 20 minutes.

2340
03:09:14,680 --> 03:09:15,260
Come on, Mayor.

2341
03:09:15,900 --> 03:09:16,400
Okay.

2342
03:09:16,400 --> 03:09:16,720
Okay.

2343
03:09:16,720 --> 03:09:20,080
or reconvenient to open session, Madam G.

2344
03:09:20,340 --> 03:09:22,540
Attorney, could you report out on the close session please.

2345
03:09:23,360 --> 03:09:24,040
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

2346
03:09:24,220 --> 03:09:28,520
The Council met in close session to finish up item number three.

2347
03:09:29,180 --> 03:09:32,820
Pursune Development Consection 54956.91.

2348
03:09:33,420 --> 03:09:37,180
To confer legal counsel and the pending matter of RAPPL,

2349
03:09:37,560 --> 03:09:40,180
her Cecilia Carson, workers combat fields board.

2350
03:09:40,420 --> 03:09:45,260
Case number AEDJ-9163423.

2351
03:09:45,260 --> 03:09:48,680
that there was no report of election that concludes my report.

2352
