[18:05] I would like to introduce my mother, Alvia.

[19:03] Thank

[19:13] Thank you all very much.

[19:20] Boy, how special to have three young people from our community going right?

[19:25] Fantastic.

[19:26] Okay, next we have recognition of the

[19:28] Chino cultural foundation scholarship winners.

[19:31] The Chino cultural foundation supports music, theatre,

[19:35] and visual arts by providing scholarships to students living within the

[19:39] Valley Unified School District, and is pleased to recognize this year's award recipients.

[19:44] The Youth Arts Scholarship goes to students enrolled in music, theater, or visual arts

[19:49] programs, and may be used for training, instrument, rental, or purchase, or to purchase equipment

[19:55] and materials.

[19:56] The Gretchen Heart McCombs Memorial Music Scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior

[20:01] who is enrolled in a college or university as a music or music education major.

[20:06] I'd like to call up Michelle Night Rine Heart, please.

[20:10] She is from the Chino Cultural Foundation Board.

[20:21] Okay.

[20:23] The Chino Cultural Foundation supports the Arts.

[20:25] We also support dance, so if you're wondering more dance,

[20:28] what's dance is also one of the things we support besides music,

[20:31] and theater, and visual arts.

[20:36] So we've had scholarships for the last four years for the youth arts scholarships,

[20:40] And we have given away probably close to about $50,000 to date in scholarships over the last four years.

[20:50] The Gretchen Heart McCombs Memorial Scholarship, this is the third year that we have given that.

[20:56] And we've had three great recipients. This year's recipient is from the flatlands this year.

[21:02] It was two people from the hills last two years. So I was glad one of us flatland people got some recognition anyway.

[21:12] So, I'm doing a little plug right now.

[21:15] There was pliers at the front for our upcoming cultural foundation art and court event, which

[21:22] the proceeds from that go to support scholarships and other arts in the community, but scholarships

[21:28] is the main focus of that fundraiser.

[21:31] So, if you want to come out and have a really nice time on June 27th, come on out to art and

[21:35] and support local artists and have some wine and have some fun.

[21:40] It is, I'm sorry, it is that Brinderson, well, Brinderson Hall of the

[21:43] Chinoff Airgrounds, 530 to 830, Thursday, June 27th.

[29:58] them wisdom.

[30:00] To govern the conflicting interest and issues of our times, a keen first for justice and rightness, confidence in what is good and fitting, the ability to work together in harmony, even though when there is honest disagreement, personal peace and our lives in joy and our task.

[30:24] Who work and around are the love city of Chino and it's in your blessed holy day. We pray amen. Thank you

[30:40] Zeb well barn from the Chino Valley Chamber.

[30:51] Good evening. I

[30:54] I think I just want to kind of fill you in on what's happening in the chamber recently, and this is

[30:59] Jews who are coming to the end of the fiscal year and it's the end of my first year. It's the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce

[31:05] So I thought it made sense to just kind of update you where we are on on what we kind of tackle this year

[31:10] I think at the start of the year, I had a couple of goals and things that we want to accomplish was we want to increase our members, obviously

[31:15] We want to increase larger businesses who are participating in the chamber through our chairman circle program

[31:21] We want to increase the attendance and the exposure at our events for our local businesses, and we wanted to have more involvement with our community.

[31:29] And so, those are things that we really try to tackle this year.

[31:32] We're just, I would like to report the wrong positive on all those things.

[31:35] So, we're significantly up in membership last year and March.

[31:38] We had 319 members, we're almost up to 400.

[31:40] So, it means we've added almost 80 businesses this year.

[31:43] We've added a significant amount of large businesses participating in our Chairman and Circle Program,

[31:47] getting more involved in the community and so our business community is getting more involved

[31:51] in the community at large, which is a good thing. And the last thing was our event attendance is

[31:58] significantly higher, so we're up well over 20% and the goal was 20% this year, so a way above

[32:02] that in terms of community getting involved in the chamber puts on this year. So I'm really excited to

[32:07] announce those things because I feel like we've made a lot of progress this year. I'm looking forward

[32:11] to another next year we have a lot of really positive things planned. I think I'll share those

[32:15] future meeting kind of our goals for the upcoming year. But I just want to update you all on how

[32:19] we're doing so far through our chamber. I also thought I would be a good opportunity to kind of let

[32:24] you know the things that are coming up, you know. So we have our Southern California charity golf

[32:28] classic, which is something that I hosted the last four years and now that I'm running the chamber

[32:32] with that, it makes sense to make it a part of the chamber. So we're raising funds for four different

[32:36] local charities, which are Boys Republic, the Chino Rotary Club, prices pets, and the love them all

[32:42] foundation. So that's going to be the tournament this year. It's at Western Hills Country Club on June 24th, which is a Monday.

[32:50] So it should be a lot of fun. So if you're a golfer or you are a business who wants to get in front of golfers,

[32:54] we already have 116 golfers that have registered. We have about 20 sponsors for the golf tournaments.

[33:02] And we have tons of donated raffle prizes and things like that. So it'll definitely be a good time.

[33:06] on course contest, not on course staff, so definitely be a fun time, so if you have that

[33:11] in your mindset, you like playing golf, it's a great place to be, or even if you don't

[33:16] like playing golf. We also have our state of city for Chino, which is coming up two days

[33:22] after that, which is June 26th, so we're excited to host that with in collaboration with the

[33:26] Chino. Unfortunately, I have to announce that it's sold out, and so we're sold out well in

[33:30] advance of the state of city, which is a really good thing as well, because our businesses and

[33:36] to meet at large as obviously invested in what we're doing here in China and so.

[33:41] With those things, I just wanted to say thank you for your support this year and working

[33:44] with us at the chamber and we're really excited about what's to come in the future, so

[33:48] thank you.

[33:49] Thank you, Sam, for the help of date.

[33:52] Next written request to speak is stubby bar.

[35:17] So, thank you, Mayor, and good evening council.

[35:21] I missed our forward-cladning workshop a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to touch on

[35:28] one of the issues that we discussed there, and that of course has to do with accessibility.

[35:37] One of the things that is a concert recurring theme that comes up far too often is the fact

[35:44] that accessibility regulations which are often referred to incorrectly as ADA issues are changing

[35:53] there are new regulations,

[35:57] they haven't been interpreted yet.

[36:00] So what I did is prepared a couple of handouts for you.

[36:02] The first one, the one that I spent a little more time on that has the colored pictures,

[36:07] is basically a timeline of all of the legal and legislative issues that have led up to

[36:15] our current accessibility loss.

[36:18] The second one is a document that actually prepared a couple of years ago for public works here which gives you the background of the authorities that lead into the California Building Code that have to do with accessibility.

[36:34] I don't expect you to read these, but I just want to give you a brief summary of what's in them.

[36:42] The accessibility laws as we have them today started in 1961, crippled children, society of America, developed the set of standards that was published by the American Standards Association, it's now the American National Standards Institute.

[37:00] Those same basic guidelines are still an effect today, in fact, they've actually been lessened.

[37:09] When it comes to public works, there's only a handful of issues that we deal with

[37:16] plus far as public right away.

[37:18] Occasionally, we have a building to build and other issues come in, but

[37:23] are building inspectors deal with 13 volumes,

[37:28] send to be 14 volumes of regulations,

[37:32] some 6,000 pages.

[37:35] And when it applies, the public works.

[37:37] Only 12 of those pages apply to the work that is done

[37:42] in the public right away.

[37:44] Streets, crosswalk, sidewalks, curb ramps, traffic signals.

[37:49] And within those 12 pages,

[37:51] there are multitude of duplications

[37:53] because some of the same requirements apply to multiple different instances across the board.

[38:00] Those regulations, if you want to quickly glance at the second page of the Black and White hand out,

[38:06] the larger one, there's a little chart that shows the common issues that we still have here today

[38:14] in public works. And as you can see, the requirements have not changed or actually have been

[38:21] and since 1961.

[38:26] California legislature passed a law in 1968 requiring that all public facilities,

[38:32] public meaning anything furnished with public funds would be accessible by 1970. In 1982,

[38:41] those same regulations and a few more were added into the building code. The building code has now been

[38:49] adopted to pretty much, there are few exceptions,

[38:54] duplicate the Americans with Disabilities Act,

[38:57] including the same numbering system.

[39:00] So these issues have been in effect primarily in California

[39:06] for 51 years, which means that the design engineers

[39:12] were claiming that this is new or has recently

[39:16] have been changed, have had these regulations in place for their entire career.

[39:23] The ADA is now been in place for 29 years, as pretty much the same thing applies.

[39:31] So there's a little homework there for you.

[39:33] Hope you enjoy it.

[39:36] If you have any questions, feel free to contact me if you need more information, I cut

[39:41] down a couple of trees and put it out my library for you.

[39:45] Thank you.

[39:45] Thank you, Sophie.

[39:48] Okay, those are the only written requests to speak. We have this evening. Now we do have something that we do here every council meeting, and that is, and I don't know if it's going to apply tonight or not.

[40:00] As we invite any students in the audience to come up and introduce themselves and tell us the school they're attending, or teachers name, in the class that requires them to be here this evening.

[40:13] So I don't know.

[40:14] Everybody might be out on summer break,

[40:18] but is there anyone in the audience

[40:19] that would like to introduce themselves

[40:20] to here for a classroom requirement?

[40:25] Maybe you're just for fun.

[40:26] Just for fun?

[40:28] OK, you guys need to get a hobby.

[40:31] If you're here, just for fun.

[40:33] OK, seeing none, those are the only written requests

[40:35] to speak that I have this evening.

[40:37] Is there anyone else in the audience

[40:38] that would like to address the council on an issue

[40:40] that is not on the agenda?

[40:43] Okay, see none. And we will move on to our consent calendar. Are there any items that wish to be pulled this evening from council members?

[40:55] I do.

[40:56] Okay, which item?

[40:57] Number 10.

[40:59] Okay, we will be pulling item number 10 and acting separately on it. We also have a written request to speak on item number 10.

[41:06] Are there any other comments on the balance of the consent calendar?

[41:09] If not, then a motion would be appropriate.

[41:16] Okay, there's a motion from mail, put him, Tom, how he's second from Councilman Rodriguez.

[41:25] Mark, booked.

[41:27] Oh, sorry.

[41:30] And the balance of the consent calendar passes unanimously.

[41:33] Okay, item number 10.

[41:35] Final acceptance of Park Improvements at the Preserve, KB Home Coastal Incorporated.

[41:40] This item is to adopt resolution number 2019 to 026.

[41:45] Accepting the dedication and park improvements for Meridian Park and the

[41:49] Preserve for track map number 170-170-55 and Master of Sight Approval 0-5-0-5 as

[41:58] complete. Staff report this evening will be provided by Nick Ligorey.

[42:05] Thank you, Mayor and Council members. So back in 2005, the Planning Commission approved

[42:14] a tentative track map authorizing brand communities to develop approximately 177 single

[42:20] family homes in the preserve in a project site generally located at West Preserve Loop

[42:26] between Big Moore and Pine Avenue.

[42:29] The preserve conceptual parks plan indicated that a six acre neighborhood park would be

[42:34] located at the northwest corner of Pine Avenue West Preserve Loop.

[42:38] As a condition of approval, Brem was required to construct a public park within the project

[42:43] boundaries consistent with the plan.

[42:46] This was in excess of their park obligations under Title 18 of the Municipal Code.

[42:52] In 2010, KB Home Coastal acquired ownership of the project.

[42:57] As part of the acquisition, KB assumed the rights and obligations stated in the

[43:01] conditions of approval for the track map, including the obligations to dedicate park land

[43:06] to the city and the rights of reimbursement for the dedication of park land and improvements

[43:12] beyond that required by the code.

[43:14] Consequently, in 2013, City Council approved a reimbursement agreement with KB in the amount

[43:21] of $2,217,103, which represent the value of the dedicated parkland and estimated cost

[43:29] of improvements to the park above their code requirements.

[43:34] The city attorney has verified the chain of title for the project and that KB is eligible

[43:39] to receive the reimbursement for the land improvement costs as a successor in interest to

[43:43] Brem. The park was never formally accepted by the city. Therefore, staff is requesting

[43:50] the council to adopt a resolution except the grant deed for the park parcels to formalize

[43:55] and complete the acceptance and title transfer process. The city has performed its final inspection

[44:01] of the park and generally found the improvements to complete, to be complete. However,

[44:06] There are several items of repair and reconfiguration there necessary to bring the park up to current city standards.

[44:16] Part of the reason for this is that the park has been in use for many years by the public.

[44:21] And so there are a wear and tear of facilities that has occurred.

[44:26] Staff is proposing that the cost of these items be covered by the existing budget in community facilities district 2006-3,

[44:33] which was formed for the Brem community's project.

[44:38] Through the design and development process,

[44:41] the city staff and the Planning Commission approved the design of the park as it's constructed today,

[44:46] which totals five acres spans the electrical transmission line easement

[44:51] and includes the area known as West Meridian Park off of Mill Creek Avenue,

[44:56] which was designed to serve dual purposes of both an open space amenity

[44:59] And

[45:00] And a detention basin. Staff has found that while this area was constructed, according to approved plans, the

[45:06] open space function is compromised substantially during wet weather years, and the facility is not

[45:12] accessible to all potential users. Staff, therefore, will work with the preserve master maintenance

[45:18] corporation, which is required to maintain the park and perpetuity, to secure and remove the

[45:23] amenities at the site, which will be done by maintenance and ground staff. While this design is

[45:29] not entirely consistent with the specific plan as envisioned.

[45:33] And the city would not agree to this type of design and configuration today.

[45:38] The developer did build the park per plans reviewed and approved by the city.

[45:43] In other words, staff currently prioritize the design of parks for beneficial and active recreational amenities.

[45:51] Instead of dual uses and optimizing land configuration for the developer.

[45:57] Staff did receive a letter today from Mr. Robert Nick, which asks a series of questions about

[46:02] the reimbursement, and requests the Council post-pone action on the item.

[46:07] Staff has reviewed the letter, but does not, but does does not change the recommendation

[46:11] to the Council.

[46:13] Therefore, staff would recommend the Council to adopt resolution number 2019-026, accepting the

[46:20] grant deed for Meridian Park and the Park improvements and take the other actions as noted

[46:25] and staff report and this concludes my presentation by

[46:28] be happy to answer any questions.

[46:31] Okay, we do have a written request to speak and I'm going to

[46:34] head and request that the gentleman addressed the council on

[46:38] that prior to our questions of you.

[46:42] The study?

[47:01] Thank you again, Mayor and council members.

[47:04] Thank you, Nick.

[47:06] First I would like to thank staff and council as a

[47:11] a tremendous amount of effort and time that's gone into this behind the scenes.

[47:18] What I've given you is a couple of graphics that I built just to show you the difference

[47:24] between what the specific plan indicates and what we arrived at.

[47:30] I don't agree that this is the correct response, and I don't agree with the decision, but

[47:40] They do agree with legal counsel and staff when they do recommend this,

[47:50] be accepted, because

[47:53] it is probably in the best interest of the city to do so.

[48:00] The funds that were dispersed, I don't agree with, and it definitely do not agree with the

[48:04] chain of title, but the city does have a statutory obligation to reimburse under the

[48:10] be at. So I cannot endorse this. I just wanted to bring to your attention that what we

[48:17] specified in the specific plan and what we are receiving are two completely different things.

[48:24] Thank you. Okay, thank you, Stevie. No. Council questions of staff.

[48:32] What did your questions

[48:33] are comments? Well, I guess the reason I pulled it was because I read this email from Mr. Nick.

[48:41] And then some of the things he brings up here, reading it, I'm not sure that I have an answer for them for certain.

[48:49] And then I'm confused maybe on a few of those items. Maybe you can answer those things.

[48:56] And certain I guess he's objecting to some of the conditions that,

[49:02] Oh, what I put it are something that happened long ago and this is a complicated matter.

[49:08] I guess it's not just simply that they built something and we approved it.

[49:13] I mean, this was, as I understand, some of that own property was conditioned.

[49:18] I went bankrupt.

[49:20] We took over or KB came in and bought it out of bankruptcy.

[49:24] And then we later agreed to some money to reimburse them for part that they're building.

[49:31] My confusion comes in and this is provided by Mr. Bar.

[49:37] I appreciate this because I hadn't seen this before, so I wasn't even aware of it.

[49:43] So it just confuses me more, the more I get, the more confused I get.

[49:47] I thought the more I get more clarification would be.

[49:51] But that being said, one of the things that I see Mr. Nag points out here and I'm trying to understand is,

[49:59] and this is what I want to make sure that we're clear on is, these things that need to be fixed there.

[50:05] What are they and what are those costs associated with that and then how are we reimbursing that or how are we paying for that?

[50:14] Do you have an answer for that?

[50:16] I guess this is my first question.

[50:19] Sure.

[50:20] Staff has gone through and walked the facility and there are specific improvements that need to be made to ensure that it meets all

[50:35] accessibility requirements, as well there are some general maintenance items in the

[50:41] restrooms and other things. So it's mainly concrete work putting in signs and

[50:49] placards and doing some other things like that. So staff is requesting that we

[50:57] utilize the funds from the community facility district that was established in

[51:01] preserve, and it was established in the preserve. This is one of the purposes of that, was

[51:09] for these facilities. We do not believe that we'll exceed $20,000. We believe we can do almost

[51:15] all of the repairs with city staff. Great. Okay. And then the other thing he mentioned in here

[51:21] And I was, this open space.

[51:25] So of the six acres, I mean, we are 4.5 basically, five acres, right, that we're talking

[51:32] about, is the language that was used in the Stafford Report was that it was compromised.

[51:38] Let's see, I'll read his staff has found that while it was constructed according to a

[51:43] approved plan, the open space function is compromised substantially during the wet weather

[51:49] years and the facility is not accessible to all potential users.

[51:54] So I agree with Mr. Nick, in terms of what does that mean?

[51:58] I mean, did they build a portion of the park that was meant for recreational activities

[52:03] and somehow during the winter years or the weather, they can't use those and are we going

[52:09] to pull them out?

[52:10] Does that equipment out of that?

[52:11] Yes.

[52:12] Yes.

[52:12] That's what it means. There was a portion of the open space that's off of Mill Creek.

[52:21] It's known as West Millennium Park. It's 0.6 acres.

[52:25] And it was designed for a dual purpose to be a detention basin

[52:30] to help with stormwater flows, to mitigate stormwater flows off the site, as well as open space.

[52:39] It was an idea that may have been well conceived, but in practice does not work.

[52:46] Okay, and that's indicated here in blue.

[52:49] Yeah, I see that.

[52:50] So that makes sense to me.

[52:52] So if you can just answer this one last question would be that we're certainly obligated

[52:56] in some kind of statute that says, we provide park space for so many residents, correct?

[53:02] And is this shortening that in any way?

[53:06] Or do we still have enough park space?

[53:08] I know we had them build over what they were required,

[53:11] but in terms of the preserve.

[53:13] So losing that one acre of park space,

[53:17] is that, I guess, do you understand the question?

[53:20] Yes, I do.

[53:21] So there's a projection of a population

[53:25] for the preserve that build out.

[53:27] And so the way that the park space is planned in the preserve

[53:31] is that there would be sufficient acreage for that projected build-out population.

[53:38] The plan has been amended over time and there have been some units to specific areas that

[53:47] have been added, but park acreage has also been added.

[53:52] So staff believes that as we move forward and we've increased a couple of the parks in acreage

[54:00] that we should have sufficient park space in the preserve

[54:04] at Build-out for the population.

[54:08] So Nick, this area floods every year,

[54:12] or just during major spring storms.

[54:16] It picks up all kinds of water,

[54:19] but it depends on the volume that we get in a certain amount of time,

[54:23] whether or not it gets in stays soggy,

[54:27] if you will, for quite some time.

[54:28] And this year, it was definitely soggy.

[54:32] 2008, it was definitely soggy.

[54:36] So, we're showing an average year,

[54:38] but we don't have as much rain as we have now.

[54:42] How many months is it to the point where they can use it?

[54:48] It's tough to say, because it is designed to drain out

[54:52] within a certain period of time.

[54:54] The soil condition of the preserve is, it doesn't drain super well, so in years when we have successive rain, it will be shut down a lot in drought years.

[55:10] It could remain open almost all the time or could open within 48 hours after a rainstorm.

[55:16] So it's really dependent upon the volume of the water that's coming into it, but be that

[55:26] as it may, the fact of the matter is it's down, it's very far down into the ground.

[55:33] It's eight feet below grade minimum and which makes it a challenge for all potential park users

[55:41] just to get down to it and utilize the facility.

[55:45] So, that's the major, that's the major short coming.

[55:49] And then,cillary to that is you have years, like this year,

[55:53] where the bottom will stay muddy for weeks and weeks.

[56:01] I've built out of the Missouri.

[56:03] Will there be any difference in water flow?

[56:06] Or will this always be the same?

[56:08] This will always remain the same,

[56:10] because it is only taking on drainage

[56:14] from areas that are tributary to that specific developed area.

[56:21] So there shouldn't be any increase in flows into that, into that basic.

[56:27] Any other questions?

[56:29] Okay, Nick, I have a few.

[56:31] The point six acres that you're going to be taking equipment out of.

[56:36] What's the equipment that's going to be removed?

[56:38] A pet waste station and a park bench to my knowledge, I also believe there's a barbeque down there.

[56:48] Now if that truly is going to be a retention basin, usually they're fenced.

[56:55] Is it currently fenced?

[56:56] It is fenced.

[56:57] With a gate.

[56:58] So the gate would be secured.

[57:00] Okay, and who then is going to maintain that property?

[57:03] The preserve master maintenance corporation.

[57:05] Okay, because you've got homes right next to it, and if it does retain water for quite some time in the weather increases the warmth, then you're going to have problems with mosquitoes and vectors.

[57:16] So are they also going to maintain that?

[57:20] Yes, they would work with vector control to make sure that if there was standing water for a long period of time, that would be addressed.

[57:28] the design of it is such to to move the water out. So if everything is functioning properly,

[57:36] it should not have standing water for days or weeks, but depending upon the level of rainfall

[57:44] that's experienced in any given year, the dirt stays very, very muddy down there.

[57:51] If it's eight feet below grade, then how does it drain?

[57:54] It has a outlet structure, so it's designed to accommodate a certain level of flow coming

[58:04] from the detention basin, and then it flows into the storm drain, which is connected

[58:10] to the Big More storm drain system.

[58:15] Okay. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions? Comments? Okay. And what is the council's

[58:22] pleasure? You're motion to approve? That was a request to delay.

[58:34] What would you like

[58:35] to do? Staff recommendation is to approve. Okay. There's a motion from Mayor Plotem

[58:43] Howdy. Second, from Councilman Rodriguez. Please vote. Okay, the item is approved unanimously.

[58:52] Okay, we will move on to new business. Item number 14, amendment to design professional services agreement.

[58:59] State Route 60 Bridge crossings, project design, WA-18A amendment to the State Route 60 Bridge crossings project.

[59:09] design professional services agreement with Michael Baker International, our staff report

[59:14] to see if we will be provided by our civil engineering manager Maria Frazier.

[59:22] Good evening Madam Mayor, council members and audience.

[59:25] Health is currently proceeding with a bridge retrofit project along state route 60 freeway

[59:30] in the city of Chino.

[59:32] The bridges to be retrofitted are Benson, Monovist, and Pipeline Avenue.

[59:38] This project will correct the current vertical clearances, which are not compliant with the current vertical standards.

[59:45] There were to be completed with a tale, the removal and relocation of city own facilities such as sewer and water lines.

[59:52] Research and examination of several documents concluded that the city of Chino has prior rights.

[59:58] Therefore, Catherine's also conc...

[1:00:00] Her, that they are liable for a hundred percent of all the design and relocation costs.

[1:00:05] And on May 7, 2019, City Council approved three reimbursement agreements with Calth runs for the relocation

[1:00:12] of the city's infrastructure along pipeline, manifestan, manifestan, manifestan, and vence and avenue.

[1:00:20] On April 3, 2018, Council awarded a design professional services agreement to Michael Baker,

[1:00:25] International and BI to prepare plans and specs for various utility relocations with

[1:00:32] thousands collaboration, the sewer and waterline relocation designs for the various

[1:00:37] locations were completed under the original agreement.

[1:00:43] At the Benson Bridge and BI completed a more inject sewer design with a horizontal alignment

[1:00:49] just quest the Benson Avenue Bridge.

[1:00:52] The design require a deep vertical alignment, which ended at the bottom of the freeway slopes on both sides.

[1:01:00] On the double these slopes, homes and pools currently exist.

[1:01:04] A but-calt-upon-calt turns to your technical staff review of the design.

[1:01:08] It was their opinion that the boring jack operation would compromise the stability of the slope to the north and south of the alignment.

[1:01:15] And it would possible cause damage to residential properties at the top of the slopes.

[1:01:22] Caltron's collaborative with staff to explore options in after extensive extensive coordination.

[1:01:27] It was concluded that a horizontal directional drink drilling was a more desirable option

[1:01:32] as it would keep the Benson sewer within the street alignment and therefore avoiding any conflict with the slopes.

[1:01:39] Caltron's request is that a horizontal directional drilling design be completed,

[1:01:43] So, staff requests it and receive a proposal from Michael Baker in a national for the

[1:01:48] redesign of the sewer in the amount of $140,916, which was agreed upon by

[1:01:55] culture as well.

[1:01:58] So, staff is recommending the following, appropriate $154,916,000 from the

[1:02:04] unappropriated reserves of the sewer fund, with the corresponding increase to the

[1:02:13] Increase the revenue budget by $154,960 for Kaljun's reimbursement, approve and

[1:02:21] amendment to the design professionals' services agreement with Michael Baker in

[1:02:25] and National in the amount of $140,916, authorized expenditures up to $14,000 for

[1:02:34] Project contingencies for a total potential contract amount not to exceed $525,000 for $426.

[1:02:44] Authorize the city manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the city.

[1:02:49] All of these sign costs will be reimbursed by Calthrons as for utility agreements enter between the city and Calthrons on May 14, 2019.

[1:02:57] This concludes my report and I will be happy to answer any questions.

[1:03:01] Maria, we are going to be reimbursed for all of these expenditures, but how, what's the procedure

[1:03:08] that Cal trans goes through and reimbursing? Do we have to pay everything and then wait

[1:03:13] a couple of years for reimbursement or do we submit reimbursement requests as we go along?

[1:03:18] We can do that. We can submit requests as we go along and we're planning and programming.

[1:03:22] We're waiting for the budget to pass to meet with finance and the folks from Cal trans

[1:03:28] to go through exactly what the procedures are, but we can start getting requests for reimbursement as soon as possible.

[1:03:36] I think that would be very wise.

[1:03:38] Comments from Council?

[1:03:39] Any questions of Maria?

[1:03:42] Okay, and I would entertain a motion.

[1:03:50] Okay, there's a motion from Councilman Lucio.

[1:03:53] Second from Mayor Pro Tem Halley.

[1:03:56] And the item passes.

[1:04:02] Next on the agenda is Mayor and Council reports.

[1:04:05] The only thing I have to report on this evening is attending the Memorial Day event, which was held on the 27.

[1:04:14] It was very, very nice event.

[1:04:19] It always is.

[1:04:20] We have a lot of people that attend and the weather was perfect.

[1:04:24] Absolutely beautiful.

[1:04:25] The 21 guns glued always makes me jump.

[1:04:28] Wow.

[1:04:28] It's loud, it's very, very loud, but it was very, very touching ceremony.

[1:04:32] And I'm very pleased to say that our entire council,

[1:04:35] many of our staff are in attendance. I do have an action this evening item number 15

[1:04:43] communities support contribution. I have split my $5,000 into many many many different

[1:04:52] organizations and it's on our agenda so I'm not going to read them all and so I would appreciate

[1:05:00] council's support for my community support contributions. There's a motion from Mayor

[1:05:07] Protem Halley 2nd from Councilman Hargrove and my item passes unanimously. Thank you very

[1:05:13] much gentlemen. Mayor Protem Halley. Thank you Mayor. I have no report to see you.

[1:05:23] Okay.

[1:05:24] You don't want to say anything about the Memorial Day?

[1:05:29] Okay.

[1:05:30] We'll say something about the Memorial Day.

[1:05:33] It's great to see so many people come out.

[1:05:37] It's just a good morning.

[1:05:38] Unfortunately, a lot of other cities have their Memorial Day service at the same time.

[1:05:44] Ontario, Desano, and Norma Torres.

[1:05:48] Our Congresswoman goes there first and then runs over to get to ours before she finishes.

[1:05:53] She seems to do that every year, she seems to do that every year, but it's great to see

[1:05:59] our little liberty court yard do we have now and it's good to see it and then we've got to

[1:06:04] do the flagpole looks great and you remember we had to get that thing painted, they're fixed

[1:06:08] for years ago and it's just the American Legion, I think the American Legion for doing that for us.

[1:06:14] It's a really good event and actually I did go attend the Montclair Memorial Service at 6 o'clock up in Montclair, and they do a really good job also in their service

[1:06:26] So it's kind of cool to see other what other cities do differently than what we do and I guess this year we're going to be doing a Veterans Day Memorial Service for the first time

[1:06:38] and so we'll have it'll be interesting to see how well we plan that. I got some ideas

[1:06:44] that I'd like to bring out for you. We have some meetings or on November 11th, there is close to that day,

[1:06:51] as possible coming up in November. So, it was good. Yeah, it was good. Look forward to it.

[1:06:56] Okay, Councilor Hardrow. Thank you, Mayor. Not much report. Just a quick lay. I attended with

[1:07:03] from Lucio, and Councilman Rodriguez, the graduations of Chino-high, and Don Ligo. That was

[1:07:11] a nice event. Kids seem to be really happy, as they're done, or at least for now.

[1:07:17] I didn't have any streakers or anything. No, not the nice song. There was one year.

[1:07:22] Yeah, I was there. The good old bit.

[1:07:23] It was scary. It was scary. And then also attended, Buena Vesta, a couple days later. That was a nice event.

[1:07:31] and go over there and see there are 16 graduates or whatever case maybe that they promoted

[1:07:37] our graduate also. And then I attended CIW's Chafi College graduation. They had 14, 15,

[1:07:48] some of the female inmates there that graduated from Chafi College with degrees and certificates.

[1:07:54] It was well attended by individuals there also so that was nice to see that event.

[1:08:01] And then, well, that's it, other than I'll also do a community support contribution, and that's to American Legion.

[1:08:15] And, you know, Neighborhood House,

[1:08:17] I used to, you know, high sports boosters and all the sports boosters, so I'd appreciate that.

[1:08:22] It's item number 16, and there is a motion from Mayor Patem, how he's second from Councilman Lucio.

[1:08:30] And you're right, I'm passes, you know, in this way.

[1:08:33] I did just want to, lastly, I attended the Chino Neighborhood House meeting at 5 o'clock

[1:08:38] this afternoon.

[1:08:42] The California Institute for Men, prison brought over a donation to them, just over $2,200.

[1:08:49] So that was nice to see that check come in, and they'll help them out immensely, so I just

[1:08:58] now, but I thought I had mentioned it here.

[1:09:02] Okay.

[1:09:02] Council member Lucio.

[1:09:05] Yes.

[1:09:05] On May 27th, I too attended the Memorial Day Ceremony.

[1:09:10] The Gino community building was well attended.

[1:09:13] It was great event.

[1:09:14] We had the opportunity.

[1:09:15] My girls all came up in college.

[1:09:17] So it was the first event that we were able to attend together.

[1:09:20] So it was nice having them.

[1:09:21] There for it.

[1:09:23] May 28th.

[1:09:25] Like Councilman Hargrove said, we attended the Gino and Dondlieville High School graduation.

[1:09:28] It was a nice event, it was at the Citizens Arena, it was nice that they stack them right on top of each other, so we didn't really have a lot of downtime, but it was good to see the kids excited, graduating,

[1:09:42] and some of the auditoriums up there, I mean those kids were GPs, well over the fours, it was just impressive to see dedication these kids have for school.

[1:09:51] On May 3, I attended a, I went to Cal Poly Pomona for a ceremony that Congresswoman

[1:09:58] Mauritors had three students from Chino, who were receiving the military awards for

[1:10:06] attending the academies.

[1:10:07] I attended there and presented them certificates from the city to Alexander Ramos and Jacob

[1:10:13] Turner from West Point, both going to West Point and then from Ryan Torres, who's going

[1:10:18] the Air Force Academy.

[1:10:20] But one of the things that Congresswoman Torres talked about

[1:10:24] was the fact that Chino PD has embraced this program

[1:10:29] that they start reaching out to kids in the seventh grade.

[1:10:32] And a lot of them have moved on and become members

[1:10:36] of our military and attend these academies.

[1:10:40] And even Congresswoman Torres expressed that for being

[1:10:44] such a small city that like we are,

[1:10:46] we always seem to have quite a bit of people that attend those academies from

[1:10:50] for district. So she said although you got other cities like Ontario that are

[1:10:54] bigger or per Pomona, Gino seems to be the one that contributes the most. So I

[1:10:59] think that's just that hats off to the community, the parents that are here

[1:11:02] that supports their students. And then obviously the Gino Police Department for

[1:11:06] hosting that event and making that available for everybody. So they've said

[1:11:11] that they want to continue it Congresswoman Torres and she wants to continue to

[1:11:15] here in Chino, so I just wanted to thank them for that as well, and that's all I have to report.

[1:11:19] Okay, you also have item number 17?

[1:11:22] Yes, I wanted to make a committee support contribution for the Relay for Life here in Chino,

[1:11:30] and I have just like support.

[1:11:32] Okay, I made the motions, second is from Mayor Potello,

[1:11:39] and the item passage in MSC.

[1:11:43] Congratulations, and council member Rodriguez.

[1:11:46] Yes, I too attended the Memorial Day services which was very moving and the weather was really, really nice.

[1:11:55] A lot of people were there to celebrate and it's always good to honor the sacrifices that all our service men and women have done in the past and are continuing to do.

[1:12:06] May 28th, I-2 attended Chino High School and Dollars Graduation here in Ontario, well-attended by various parents.

[1:12:17] May 30th, I attended the board of VISTA High School of Graduation.

[1:12:22] Monday, I attended the Reno Regional Housing Needs Assessment, and at this time, Reno is working on the methodology,

[1:12:31] which falls under the HCD and the housing community determination and the best way to describe

[1:12:39] it would be that one shoot is not fit all. So if you look at Southern California, we have various

[1:12:45] counties and each county is going to need a specific amount of housing for each county. So

[1:12:52] San Bernardino Riverside, we have a larger, more land to develop. They're also taking it into consideration

[1:12:58] And those cities that hold and have universities and colleges, more development for

[1:13:06] housing for students, and also for affordable homes around those communities.

[1:13:12] Today I was invited and attended the end of Ramadan for the Muslims here at the Big League

[1:13:21] field of dreams in Chino Hills.

[1:13:24] It was over 2,000 individuals, it was a good celebration by the community, and that concludes

[1:13:30] my report.

[1:13:32] City manager Matt Valentine, anything that's secret.

[1:13:35] Yes, Mayor, I have two items.

[1:13:36] The first item is related to the office hours down in the preserve.

[1:13:40] I just want to remind folks that we'll be hosting office hours down in the preserve

[1:13:45] of our community center from 6 to 8 p.m. on the first Thursdays of every month.

[1:13:51] So, we would invite folks to come out this Thursday.

[1:13:55] Finally, Council Member Hargrove and myself, and Chief Comstock would have Sacramento, and

[1:14:03] that with the Secretary, I want to thank the Fire District, both Chief Shacklford and

[1:14:08] President John Demonico as well as Cynthia Moran, the mayor of Chino Hills, who joined

[1:14:13] not there and what the city was seeking is we're wanting a totaling agreement with the Department

[1:14:22] of Corrections so we can further discuss the 50-bed mental health facility that they're

[1:14:28] proposing to construct the environmental processes coming to a conclusion and the purpose of the

[1:14:43] and hope that they can, we can work jointly to mitigate the concerns that we have.

[1:14:49] So again, we're hoping that the state will enter into a tolling and bring up any of the

[1:14:54] interim, all of our partners, the community partners, again, the fire district.

[1:15:00] If she knows he'll be meeting tomorrow, and I also want to thank supervisor Kurt Hagman, the county is certainly behind

[1:15:08] our efforts, and so I want to thank those individuals or our community partners for their support. That includes her support.

[1:15:16] So if the state does not agree by Friday to enter into into tolling agreement, then we will have to file suit.

[1:15:23] We will be filing suit. Correct.

[1:15:24] Okay, thank you very much.

[1:15:27] Or city attorneys report Mr. Guelante?

[1:15:30] No report other than to say we actually have the paperwork ready if they do not enter that end of that totally in the fight Friday.

[1:15:37] Okay.

[1:15:38] Thank you, Madam Mayor.

[1:15:40] And Chief Comstock is actually on vacation so we have kept in Kevin Mints in here this evening.

[1:15:49] Good evening, Mayor.

[1:15:49] We are exactly one month away for the Fourth of July and with that comes our fireworks for the city of Chino.

[1:15:55] So the Police Department is in the process of putting together our deployment plan for the

[1:16:00] fourth, which is going to consist of a large contingency of our personnel working that

[1:16:04] night and collectively with the with the fire department out and forcing illegal fireworks.

[1:16:09] We're also going to be having our special enforcement team and several weeks leading up

[1:16:13] to the event, investigating people that are selling illegal fireworks.

[1:16:17] I love this occurs on social media and on the internet.

[1:16:21] And if we come across them, they will be arrested and prosecuted.

[1:16:24] we found this to be very successful last year, so we're going to do that again this year.

[1:16:28] And something new that we're going to be doing is a weak leading up to the event or to the

[1:16:32] fourth of July, we're going to be sending out two officers in a fireworks enforcement capacity

[1:16:38] handling calls for service.

[1:16:40] We're not only do we obviously get a tremendous amount of calls on the actual fourth, we get quite

[1:16:44] a few calls in the days leading up to it.

[1:16:46] So they will be handling those calls and handling complaints and doing proactive patrols.

[1:16:50] So I just want to encourage the community that if they get these people seeing people lighting

[1:16:56] to legal fireworks to police call us, especially the several days beforehand and if they

[1:17:00] know where they're coming from to let us know that as well so we could go out and contact

[1:17:04] with them and hopefully stop that before it continues and especially on the 4th of July

[1:17:09] when seeing people seem to get a little crazy, so that is all I have here.

[1:17:14] thinking a lot crazy. Yes. Not just a little. And it starts more than a week ahead of time. It's

[1:17:21] in fact, in the county area. Yeah, it's already starting. Okay. 10 check-offered. Anything

[1:17:27] from the fire department to see me. Good evening again, Mayor and Council. I just have to

[1:17:32] brief report. I believe Captain Benson covered all the issues with fireworks fairly well for us.

[1:17:36] We do appreciate that. Next Wednesday, June 12th, our Board of Directors will be meeting

[1:17:44] will hopefully approve the most significant issue that they face each year and that's our

[1:17:48] budget.

[1:17:49] Absolutely, we encourage the public to attend that meeting starts at 6 p.m. and that I'd

[1:17:53] just like to encourage the council and the public as we approach the 75th anniversary

[1:17:57] of D-Day to remember those that sacrificed so much for our country.

[1:18:00] That was truly a turning point in the war.

[1:18:03] So, just give some thought to those folks.

[1:18:04] There's very few of those people that serve our country so greatly.

[1:18:09] Have a great night.

[1:18:10] Thank you.

[1:18:10] Thank you very much.

[1:18:11] Okay, with that, then we will be adjourning to our next regular meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, June 18th at 7 o'clock here in the Council chambers with closed session starting at 6, if necessary.

[1:18:25] We are adjourned.
