7
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,120

8
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,560
One nation and a God, indivisible with the routine of justice at all.

00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,000
So our first ceremonial this evening is recognition of the city of Chino's community emergency

12
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600

13
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,080

14
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:51,880

15
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880

16
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:04,640
All the way up here.

So yeah, for that, real quick, and I'll read what I actually wrote out for the cert members.

22
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,760
I'm really thankful for the collaboration, cooperation, and coordination that we were able

23
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,760
to do for our partners in the in fire, which were the cities of Altadena, Pasadena, and

24
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,960
Seram Andre.

25
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,680
The call that we received was a last minute call, gave us 24 hours to deploy our cert members,

26
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,880
and we're very grateful of the work that they did for the week deployments, so if I can say

27
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,880
some words.

28
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,880

also known as Sir.

35
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Who answered the call when our community needed them the most?

36
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,520
When they eat and fire threaten homes, displaced families and disrupted lives in Altadena, Pasadena,

37
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Seram Andre, our community face and urgent need, not just for resources, but for calm, coordinated

In those critical days following the fire, the Sir, following to your step-up without hesitation.

44
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,800
individuals and families were directed to the appropriate service stations, efficiently and

45

81
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Good evening, my name is Brian Erzumi.

82
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,800
My full-time job, I'm the Public Safety Manager for the City of Dewordy, but Diana and I are both

83
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,960
directors on the CISA Southern Chapter, Board of Directors, and I also assist and I'm

84
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:41,040
the chair for the Area D Regional CERT Mutual Aid, and so we recognize nine teams, Chino is one

85
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:48,280
of nine teams that responded to our call for service, and so this is our small way of thanking,

86
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,000
especially Chino being a brand new CERT team.

87
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,720
We want to recognize a leadership of the City of Chino City Council, as Chino PD, and the

88
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,640
leadership of the CERT program under Denise's tutelage, so it shows that they're willing to

89
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:11,240
cross county borders to offer assistance, and so disasters, no boundaries, and this demonstrates

90
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,240
that effort.

91
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,800

94
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Monrovia, Ontario, Sandimus, and Temple City, recognizing the CERT teams, it's hard to see

95
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,920
it.

96
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:45,800
I recognize the CERT teams for their exceptional service and commitment to community resilience during

97
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,560
their deployment to the Eaton Fire Disaster Recovery Center.

98
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,840
So we do want to present this Silver Award to the CERT team, and we also have individual awards,

99
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,000

Thank you for the opportunity to be here this evening.

292
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
The book of James chapter 1 verse 5 says,

293
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:52,000
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives generously to all without reproach and it will be given him.

294
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Chapter 3 verse 17 tells us what that wisdom looks like.

295
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:07,000
It says, but the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason.

296
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and sincere.

297
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
That's my prayer for this board tonight.

298
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Lord, thank you for the opportunity.

299
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Lord, you just call on your name as this group begins.

300
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Lord, I ask and pray.

301
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Lord, you would give them wisdom.

302
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Wisdom comes from you.

303
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And Lord, may that wisdom look like we just described it.

304
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Lord full of mercy, open to reason, impartials, sincere.

305
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Lord, I pray that your good hand would be on this city.

306
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
But we thank you for the leadership here tonight.

307
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

308
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000

My name is Anthony Moreno, my district representative for State Center, Susan Rubio.

312
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,000
And I'm here today on behalf of the Senator to invite the Chino community to our open house and resource fair.

313
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
That's going to be held at our district office in Ontario.

314
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
It's located at 1520 North Mountain Avenue.

316
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
It's only about a 15 to 18-minute drive from Chino, so it's not too far away.

317
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000

00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000

323

327
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
I also left some flyers for the event.

328
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
I believe it's in the hallway.

329
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Thank you.

330
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Thank you very much.

331
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Next up, Bob Nick.

332
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Thank you.

333
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
My name is Bob Nick.

334
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
I'm here to speak on the orbit's Eden development.

335
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,000
If this development is built as proposed, it will not become Eden.

336
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000
It will become the project from hell.

337
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
I'd make 21st of planning commission heard the applicants for the applications for the project.

338
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend that meeting.

339
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,680
What I heard, the Commission rushed their decision to approve the project. The Commission had the responsibility to listen to and provide findings of facts in response to very

340
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:17,120
dollar concerns and objections made by the channels of citizens. Unfortunately, the Commission failed to perform their duties by

341
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:24,000
contacting an independent quasi-judicial review of the facts. It was disrespectful to our community when they ignored

342
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
valid comments and objections that then failed to provide transparent answers and take for accountability

343
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,000
for their actions. Based upon a last minute notice by orbits, a challenge was made under the

344
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,600
housing accountability act. This would notice outlined why the Commission's actions would prevent or

345
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:48,160
hinder the project's approval under HAA. This notice should be recognized as a challenge to the

346
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,200
agency's conduct and a basis for arguing that the project would be effectively

347
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,160
disapproved under the HAA to commission the way the project by addressing the concerns of the

348
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:04,000
public, including the storage facility. And June 5, I submitted a complaint to the city

349
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,680
of which in various violations of all, including not the city not abiding by the requirements of

350
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:18,720
HAA under Section 65589.5 H6D. The city was required to post the written notice within five days

351
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:25,520
and not make a determination for at least 60 days after receiving the notice. No determination to

352
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,880
approve or discipline should have been made for 60 days to give opportunity for objections.

353
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:37,200
A commission decided that night to approve the project. I'm not claiming to be an expert in all

354
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,480
the complexities of the affordable housing laws of California to tell you the city provided me

355
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:49,040
an incomplete and one-sided explanation that there's not addressed all the facts. It is upon the

356
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,920
Commission to approve the project without knowing the full requirements of the law. The city argued

357
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:04,800
Section 65589.5H2 is the only definitive requirement. However, Section 82 is not exclusive and does

358
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:12,400
not remove the requirements of H3 for 13% low-income units to be included in the HECD

359
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,320
approved site. Our housing element requires low-income units and that's the 13% low-income

360
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:24,320
requirement that H3 is required by law for a low-income housing development project covered under the

361
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,880
HAA. In completing questionable advice by the city attorney's not justification to violate the law.

362
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,440
The commission should have been informed that the requirements of H3 before making their decision.

363
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,800
Why was the project approved to require an only 9% low-income units? The application states 21 and

364
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:48,800
64 units will be built and the city is only requiring 9% low-income units for 24 units.

365
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:56,000
State law and local zoning code require that all calculations of the number of affordable

366
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,640
units required in the project that result in fractured units shall be rounded up to the next

367
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:07,840
whole number. The planning division did not even perform basic math and calculated a minimum.

368
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:17,680
There should have been 27 will in-club units. 264 units divided by 9.8, 82 acres equals 26.9

369
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,400
units per acre, rounded to 27. Should have required 10%. The commission also failed to provide

370
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,680
written findings of fact for the tentative track-mac map application under the Wiggles standards

371
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:36,400
of state law and a local zoning code. Just saying no negative impact is not regulatory sufficient.

372
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:43,040
The city still has the Wiggles opportunity to mitigate the negative effects of this project.

373
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,960
Even under HAA the city can still enforce objective quantifiable written development standards,

374
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:54,960
conditions and policies of our city's greatest would only lessons to the citizens we can

375
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:01,280
improve this project. Instead of looking for unsupported technical reasons and excuses to

376
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,880
approve the project, the city should govern in accordance with the law to protect the citizens from

377
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:13,920
proper driven developers. I understand the council cannot take action on an issue not on the agenda.

378
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,680
Council members, do you have the right to request an item be placed on the next agenda? I request

379
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:26,000
that my complaint be placed on the next agenda, so that city staff can be required to provide a full status

380
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
report and explain to the community how the city is in compliance with state laws and also provide

381
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,760
that building for the public to eject to the one side opinions of the city. Unfortunately not at

382
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,960
time. I might not always be correct in my understanding of the law, but our citywriters should do their

383
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:48,240
job and provide appropriate explanations in a timely manner. The citizens' channels should be treated

384
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:53,920
with respect and deserve better from our citywaves. Thank you. Does anyone have any questions or comments?

385
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:03,760
Thank you very much, Paul. Next is Carissa Ramirez.

386
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:22,640
Good evening. My name is Carissa Ramirez. I have been a lifelong resident of Chino and I came

387
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:29,600
to express my disappointment and my concern with the Chino Police Department's cooperation with ICE.

388
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,640
I recently saw the statement from Chief Benson that was made on Facebook, which is not an official

389
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,240
city website. I might add on June 10th and was really dissatisfied with the dodgy language that was

390
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:45,760
used. It made it seem like Chino PD was not working with ICE. When later in this statement it was confirmed

391
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,120
that support would be given when they request mutual aid. I want to say for the record, I know myself

392
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,560
and likely many other Chino residents as well would be appalled by any aid given by our city to ICE

393
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,920
raids that are ravaging our community, especially if this so-called aid was to preserve officer's safety

394
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:07,280
and a situation that ICE is instigating. There have been multiple accounts within this state and across

395
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:13,120
the country that have shown ICE unlawfully detaining people. Some include US citizens, some include

396
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,320
people with valid work visas, and sometimes people are being arrested with false or expired warrants.

397
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,960
While that might not be happening here, the mere chance of that happening should be of great concern to

398
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:28,080
you as the leaders and the protectors of this community. Chino as a city and especially the Chino

399
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:33,120
police department who potentially is providing aid should not participate since it threatens our

400
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:39,040
communities well-being, safety, and rights. One of Chino's missions as seen many times in tonight's

401
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:44,640
agenda is to have exemplary leadership and public service. This is an opportunity to demonstrate that

402
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:49,840
by making a choice to protect all of the constituents who live here and not just the ones that you think

403
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:55,440
should be here or line with the beliefs or identities that you know. I will say on a general note,

404
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,360
I'm extremely displeased and concerned with the city as demonstrated by the guest speaker at the

405
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,720
prayer breakfast. Additionally, I was here and recall the dismissive responses during the George Floyd protests

406
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:11,120
of 2020 and the following request to consider defunding the police and how those were ignored. At this point,

407
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,080
there is, unfortunately, an undeniable pattern that members of certain marginalized communities are not

408
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,280
always taken seriously and supported in the same way that others are in our city. Chino is seemingly

409
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,240
becoming a place where not everything and everyone can grow, like our city claims, but only those

410
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:31,600
who fall into a certain background or belief system. Other California cities like Glendale have refused

411
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:37,120
to cooperate with ICE. I ask our city to consider the same course of action. I worry my plea today

412
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:42,320
will not be taken seriously. However, I hope that there is a public response from this body that upholds

413
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,360
their mission and statement right there. That proves me wrong. Thank you. Thank you.

414
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:53,280
It was a deal only really because I had to speak. Is there anyone else in the audience that would

415
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:59,280
like to address the council on any item that is not on the agenda? Come on up, sir.

416
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:16,320
Good evening, my name is Daniel Madrono, resident of Chino. I'm talking about the eating project also

417
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:24,320
just like Bob. My concerns were that the attorney mentioned at the Planning Commission meeting that

418
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:33,920
this some Orbus had just sent the morgue on them, the document. Yet I got a copy of the letter from their

419
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:42,800
law firm and it says the electronic email may continue. That's five days before the Planning Commission

420
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:52,240
meeting. So how could it be sprung on someone if he had it already? It talks about all the information

421
00:38:52,240 --> 00:39:03,840
of under HAA or HHA and to me, this problem I see here is that it seemed like he was telling them or

422
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:10,400
giving them a device that they had no choice but to approve it that night. It's something this

423
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:16,720
large that has such a major impact on our city. As Bob mentioned, you have 60 days to look at this.

424
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:24,720
This is a major decision that's being made. Being here in Chino, our area where we're at is going to be

425
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:32,160
heavily impacted to us. One of the other big problems that we're having is if it gets approved the way it is,

426
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:39,280
you're telling other developers, here's the roadmap on how to do whatever you want in the city of

427
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:45,280
Chino for development. Because they're going to say what you approved it at the Eden Project,

428
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:51,920
why can't I have the same thing over in my area where I purchased the land. We are setting a really

429
00:39:51,920 --> 00:40:01,920
bad precedent by doing this. Please, I implore you to take the time, look at everything and make decisions.

430
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:07,680
I know a lot of people are against that project and I know part of it is your hands are tied on

431
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:16,800
some things. But overall, I think we need to do things that help our city, that make Chino what it is,

432
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:24,160
a beautiful place to live. So I ask you to please take that under advisement and please ask the planning

433
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:32,640
commission either to either rescind what they did or ask them to take a look at it again because it just

434
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:40,720
seems so quick what they did. It almost seemed like it was pre-rehearsed. Like, you know, the city attorney says,

435
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:47,280
oh, I got this and there's nothing you guys can do. Some of the planning commission members were actually

436
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:53,600
wanted to ask questions. See, snedles and they didn't have an opportunity. They said, well, we can't do anything

437
00:40:53,600 --> 00:41:00,320
because we're being advised that we have to approve it today. No, we're just saying that. And that's,

438
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:07,040
you know, it almost feels like these developers are wagging our tail around the city. And I am very

439
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:13,440
upset about that. And please, I ask you to do what's right for Chino. Thank you. Thank you, Dan.

440
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,840
So anyone else in the audience would like to address the council on an item that is not on the agenda?

441
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:29,440
Okay, seeing none of them, we will move on to the consent calendar. Item number two is being pulled

442
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:38,160
to of our members. We're not at that meeting. I would like to entertain a motion for the balance of the consent calendar,

443
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:47,280
unless any council members wish to have any other items pulled. Okay, then we need a motion and a set

444
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:54,080
couple, please. We have a motion for Mayor Pro Temberton, second from Councilman Lucio, please vote.

445
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:07,360
And then I'm missing. Karen, you don't need to abstain because we pulled out of number two. Oh,

446
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,960
I'm sorry, Mayor. I made a mistake. Can we retake that vote, please Natalie?

447
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:21,120
I've got it backwards. My apologies. That's okay. Okay, once again, the motion in the second, please.

448
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,520
A motion from Councilman Lucio, set up for Mayor Rotten, please vote.

449
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,400
Okay, the balance to the consent calendar passage in Annemesley. Item number two,

450
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:48,000
with the minutes from June 3, Council member Comstock was absent, special meeting from June 11,

451
00:42:48,000 --> 00:43:00,720
I was absent. So we need a motion in a second for those items. Motion from Mayor Pro Temberton,

452
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:09,520
second from Councilman Flores, please vote. And the item passes three years with two abstinions.

453
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,960
Next on the agenda is under public hearing. Prior to the vote of city council members,

454
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:23,120
that the public will be having opportunity to address the council on any public hearings.

455
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,280
Item number nine, introduction of ordinance number 2025 to 0003, zoning ordinance,

456
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:38,000
amendment to PL25 to 0301. This item is a proposed amendment to title 20 zoning of the

457
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:45,760
Chino Municipal Code consisting of modifications and additions to chapter 20.06 commercial land uses,

458
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:56,080
chapter 20.07 industrial land uses, chapter 20.23 administration, and chapter 20.24 the glossary. I'd like

459
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:02,000
to declare the public hearing. And I ask for a staff report from our city planner Andrea Gilbert

460
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:09,920
and Director of Development Services Warren Morellian. Good evening, Mayor, council members.

461
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:17,040
The item before you tonight, PL25003 one is a request to amend several chapters of the Chino zoning code,

462
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:22,480
including the commercial chapter, specifically the commercial land use table, the industrial chapter,

463
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,760
which includes the industrial land use table, the administration chapter, as well as the glossary.

464
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,840
The last zoning code update was approved by the city council in April 2023. Typically, the planning

465
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:39,200
division prepares an annual update to zoning to reflect changes in state law and update regulations

466
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:44,560
that may be obsolete. Planning staff has been working with the Office of Economic Development on the

467
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:50,000
current update to allow greater flexibility in commercial land uses in a comprehensive update will follow

468
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:56,000
the city's general plan adoption later this year. The proposed updates are designed to align

469
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,560
with ever changing economic trends with the objective of supporting business attraction.

470
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Retention, and expansion, citywide. The updates will also cultivate a more dynamic business friendly environment that promotes new business development, job creation, supports local, on-triper,

471
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:23,000
newer ship, and enhances overall economic vitality in the city. The zoning code generally defines uses as being permitted by right, administratively permitted or conditionally permitted.

472
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000
The administrative process is reviewed by staff with approval granted by the director of development services.

473
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:36,000
The conditional use permit process follows a similar path of review, however these applications are required to go to the planning commission for approval.

474
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:44,000
The conditional use permit process can be both time consuming and costly for prospective business owners looking to establish a business within the city of genome.

475
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:54,000
The proposed zoning code amendments aimed to streamline the approval process for commercial uses that have become more common and do not necessitate that stricter approval process.

476
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Proposed changes would permit uses such as gyms and commercial recreation facilities by right instead of conditionally permit them in the more intensive commercial zones while still requiring that administrative approval process in the less intensive zones.

477
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Other uses such as veterinary clinics and hotels would now be permitted by right if this own ordinance amendment is approved in all commercial zones.

478
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Changes to the industrial and use matrix would allow vehicle sales offices and hotels in the industrial zoning districts.

479
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Included in the proposed zoning code changes is an update to the administrative chapter specifically section 20.23100 which applies to variances.

480
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:48,000
variances are a tool that allow for minor deviations from zoning codes standards when the strict application of the code would deprive development rights to a property that is possessed by other properties and that same zone of vicinity.

481
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Incenses when this may occur and typically would include an irregular shaped lot or the topography of the land in typically applies to setbacks.

482
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:09,000
variances are currently classified as either minor variance, which allows a deviation of no more than 25% from a measurable standard or a major variance would apply to anything over 25%.

483
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Minor variances are approved by the director of development services while major variances require planning commission approval.

484
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:27,000
The proposal would modify the minor variance deviation to 50% of the measurable standard in any variance requested over 50% would still require planning commission approval.

485
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The proposed changes will create equal inconsistent development opportunities throughout the city for people living on lots that may not possess the same development rights.

486
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,000
A public notice for the zoning code amendment was published in the Chino champion and staff has received no comments to date.

487
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:57,000
The proposed amendments are also exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments on May 7 at their planning commission hearing and unanimously recommended approval to the city council with no changes.

488
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:02,000
This concludes my report tonight and I'm available to answer any questions.

489
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Thank you Andrea.

490
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the council on this item?

491
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Okay.

492
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Seeing none, we will close the public hearing.

493
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Any questions of staff or comments?

494
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Okay.

495
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:22,000
I'd like to ask for a motion in a second please.

496
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
We have a motion by council member Comstock.

497
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Second by Mayor Pro Temberton.

498
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
City Attorney Galante.

499
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Thank you, Mayor.

500
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Members of the council.

501
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000
The city council has before it.

505
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Zone ordinance amendment that concludes the reading of the ordinance title.

506
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Thank you.

507
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Thank you very much.

508
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Please vote.

509
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
The item passes unanimously.

Item number 10 community development block grant.

511
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,000
2025-30 consolidated plan.

512

514
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,000
The 2025-26-1 year action plan governing the use of the community development block grant funds.

515
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
So, we're looking forward to seeing the public hearing open.

516
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:43,000
And as Chris Tafriport from our senior management analyst, Tracy Rosetti Smith and our director of.

517

Development Services Warren Morellian.

518
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Good evening, Mayor.

519
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Council.

520
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Every five years per head regulations, the city updates the five year consolidated plan, which guides the use of allocated CDBG funds.

521
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Recommended for funding must be aligned with the needs and priorities identified in this plan.

522
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:13,000
In compliance with the city's citizen participation plan, community meetings were held on February 10th and 20th.

523
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:27,000
These meetings provided the opportunity for residents, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the development community to come and give input on the priority needs in the preparation to aid in the preparation of this plan.

524
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Included as part of the consolidated plan is the 2526-1 year action plan, which provides the funding recommendations as outlined by the community services commission subcommittee.

525
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:48,000
These recommendations follow a comprehensive review of applicants projects, as well as presentations that were made to the commission in February.

526
00:50:49,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Exhibit one displays the 2526 spending recommendations for public service projects, which accounts for 15% of the total allocation of 585-259, as well as administration at 20% and 65% for capital improvement.

527
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Public service projects recommended for funding based on the review and prioritization of the subcommittee.

528
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,000

540
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:13,000
As well as estimated carryover funds in the amount of 525,715 dollars.

541
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:22,000
This public hearing fulfills HUD citizen participation requirements for the adoption of the five year consolidated and one year CDBG action plan.

542
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
A 30 day public notice was conducted April 1st through May 1st.

543
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
No comments have been received.

544
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Following adoption, the plans will be submitted to HUD for review and approval.

545
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Thank you.

546
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
This concludes my report.

547
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
I'd be happy to answer any questions.

548
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Thank you, Tracy.

549
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the council on this item?

550
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing.

551
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Council comments?

552
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000
I have a question, Linda.

553
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Some of the carryover money is going to be able to be used for street improvements for Monavist Apart.

554
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Can Monavist from CDBG also use be used to create a parking lot on that vacant lot that we acquired?

555
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,000
I think it can if we designate it towards that and I don't know.

556
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
I don't know what this Monavist Apart project is.

557
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Is it the parking lot or is it?

558
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,000
It is the parking lot, right?

559
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Yes, I believe for 88 accessibility.

560
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
It is accessibility and the current parking lot.

561
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Yes, Mayor, future money could be used for that because it was in the CDBG zone.

562
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
If we want to allocate that in a future year, yes, we can.

563
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Because we would like to get that additional parking lot built.

564
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,000
We do need parking there.

565
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Definitely, especially in the summertime.

566
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,000
I'd like to just have you keep that in mind, please.

567
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Okay, with that then we need a motion and a second please to approve item number 10.

568
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Motion from Council Member Flores, second from Council Member Comstock, please vote.

569
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Item passes unanimously.

570
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Item number 11.

571
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:12,000
The adoption of resolution 2025 to have zero annual adjustment of development impact fees,

572
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:18,000
park development fees and administration fees for fiscal year 2526.

573
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:25,000
This is to adopt the resolution authorizing the annual adjustment of these fees for 2526.

574
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,000
So I'd like to declare the public hearing open and ask for a staff report from our contracts

575
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Administrators Sylvia Ramos and our Director of Public Works, Hygiene Lee.

576
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Good evening, Mayor and Council members.

577
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:45,000
This evening, staff is recommending adjustments to the city's development impact fees,

578
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:55,000
park development fees and administrative fee for fiscal year 2526.

579
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
A development impact fee is a one-time charge imposed by local governments on new

580
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:05,000
development to fund the public infrastructure and facilities needed to support that

581
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,000
development.

582
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:11,000
The city committed to a major effort to identify all capital needs through its general plan,

583
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,000
build out and calculate it a full schedule of difficulties.

584
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:21,000
The city established its first development impact view program in 1989 and has since

585
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,000
retained revenue cost specialists to prepare the initial and all subsequent

586
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000
drift studies.

587
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,000
In 2003 and 2004, the city adopted new next-to-studies and

588
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,000
master facility plans for both the city-wide dip program and the

589
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,000
preserve in anticipation of significant growth following the preserves

590
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:44,000
annexation and the broader increase in development activity.

591
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,000
A comprehensive update to the 2003 and four studies was completed in 2018

592
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:55,000
incorporating land use changes adopted with the 2010 general plan update and

593
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,000
in 2022 a targeted update to the preserve dip was completed to ensure cost

594
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:05,000
estimates were current development potential was accurately reflected and

595
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,000
revenues in developer credits were appropriately reconciled.

596
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,000
It should be noted a new comprehensive next-to-study is currently underway.

597
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:20,000
The city has engaged a new consultant will den group which has extensive experience

598
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000
preparing development impact being next-to-studies for public agencies through

599
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
California.

600
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,000
As this new next-to-studies expected to take 12 months to complete staff recommends applying

601
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
inflation-based via adjustments in the interim consistent with the methodology

602
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,000
outlined in chapter 3.40 and 3.45.

603
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,000
The Chino Municipal Code into a new schedule of fees is brought to the city council

604
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
in the future for consideration.

605
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,000
pursuant to the mitigation fee act the city provided written notice of the

606
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,000
proposed fee increases to all parties who had requested such notice at least

607
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
14 days prior to the public hearing.

608
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000
In addition, the city published notice of public hearing in accordance with legal

609
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,000
requirements on June 7 and June 14 in the Chino champion.

610
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Staff also met with the building industry association to address concerns related to

611
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
the 12 percent admin fee applied to development impact fees and the

612
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,000
notice 90 percent increase to the park development fee in the preserve.

613
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Additional details on these discussions will be provided in the presentation later.

614
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Development impact fees in both the preserve and city-wide programs are subject to

615
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,000
annual adjustments as authorized by the Chino Municipal Code.

616
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000
The current next-to-study identifies three recognized cost indexes for

617
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
calculating pass-through increases.

618
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:48,000
The consumer price index which is 3.1 percent, construction cost index which is 4.8 percent

619
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,000
and the building cost index which is 11.8 percent.

620
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Each respective fee category will receive a direct pass-through adjustment based on

621
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:05,000
the most appropriate index for that category as shown in the slide.

622
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Chapter 18, well I'm sorry, moving on to the park development fees.

623
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Chapter 18 of the Chino Municipal Code establishes the process for developing park land values

624
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:20,000
throughout the city as well as the cost to construct public parks on a per acre basis.

625
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:26,000
At Baker Praisels LLC completed a praisel estimates for 2024 for city owned park land and

626
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,000
in the general city and also the preserve areas.

627
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,000
The initial park fee calculation resulted in a 90 percent increase in the preserve.

628
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:44,000
The fee would increase from $13,920 a unit to $26,464 based on the title 18 calculation

629
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,000
and newer praisel reports.

630
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,000
During the 14-day public comment period, the BIA submitted concerns regarding the

631
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,000
originally proposed 90 percent increase.

632
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:59,000
They noted that such an increase would hinder a new housing development.

633
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Cities current cost per acre to construct a fully built and immunatized park

634
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,000
exceeds the assumptions typically used by other cities to calculate the fees under

635
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
the mitigation fee act for conventional parks.

636
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Additionally, a regional comparison shows Chino's fees are generally aligned with

637
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,000
the city of Ontario's wall ranch of Kukumanga and Fantana have lower fees.

638
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,000
In response to the BIA's feedback, the city is now proposing a reduced

639
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,000
interim increase of 11 percent allowing time for staff to complete a comprehensive

640
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
nexus update to include the park fees.

641
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:35,000
This approach addresses near term funding needs while ensuring future fees are

642
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
regionally competitive and legally defensible.

643
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Additionally, as part of the recently completed user fee study, which is scheduled

644
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:51,000
for presentation next, the city identified the allocation of both direct and

645
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
indirect administrative overhead costs across development related services.

646
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Since these costs are now captured within the updated user fees.

647
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,640
The current 12% administrative surcharge on diff collections is no longer justified. Staff recommends reducing

648
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:15,680
a diff admin fee from 12 to 3%. Reflecting only those costs directly tied to the diff program,

649
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:21,680
administration such as staff time and consultant time. This is not a reduction in overall cost recovery,

650
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:27,520
but a reallocation of overhead, moving it from the diff to the appropriate development related user

651
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:34,320
fee where the cost actually occurs. This change response to prior diff, our development feedback,

652
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:41,120
and reflects a fair, more transparent, cost structure. A more detailed review will follow in the upcoming

653
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:52,320
next study, which will evaluate the administrative fee comprehensively. The proposed adjustments to the

654
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:58,880
diff, park fee and the administrative fee for fiscal year 2526 are necessary to preserve fiscal integrity

655
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:04,400
and legal compliance of the city's development financing programs. These updates align with current

656
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:10,160
infrastructure costs, land valuations and actual administrative expenditures. By applying an interim

657
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:16,320
park fee adjustment, reducing the administrative fee to reflect actual program costs, the city reinforces

658
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:21,920
its commitment to transparency, equity, and responsible long-term planning. Therefore, it is

659
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:29,600
staff's recommendation to the city council to adopt a resolution 2025-030 to support continued investment

660
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:34,400
in critical infrastructure while the comprehensive next study and related master facility updates are

661
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,240
underway. That concludes my report. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

662
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:43,920
Thank you very much, Sylvia. Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the council on

663
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:53,920
item number 11? We've seen none. We will close the public hearing. Any questions or comments from

664
01:01:53,920 --> 01:02:02,800
council members? Council member? I wouldn't like to thank the staff. I took a look at the report and

665
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:09,680
looking at all of the other cities involved. It's like we were very happy. We were well below in a couple

666
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:16,800
of areas and a little bit higher in other areas. But I appreciate you being reasonable,

667
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:27,840
rational and responsible in lowering those fees to make those more equitable to what's going on.

668
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:33,280
Thank you very much for making those adjustments. I think that was a well done. Thank you.

669
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:40,720
Okay, if there's no more comments or questions, I'd like to entertain a motion in a second, please.

670
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,880
Motion from Council Member Liziel, second from Mayor Protem Burton, please vote.

671
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,080
Item passes, oops.

672
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:13,440
He blocked me out. I'll add your vote in. Five, zero. All right. You know item passage unanimously.

673
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:19,440
Item number 12, comprehensive use of fee study. This item is to conduct public hearing and adopt

674
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:27,520
resolution number 2025-2029, updating use of fees for city provided services, like to declare the public hearing

675
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:34,400
open as Chris staff report from our city manager Linda Wright. Also our director of finance

676
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:40,160
Kim So and our will then consultant Tony Thresher.

677
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:47,520
Thank you, Mayor. I would just like to start by saying that we are very pleased to present the user

678
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:54,640
v-study to the council. It's been a long time since we've actually done a comprehensive study of our

679
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:00,480
user fees and our team has spent a lot of time on this and I'm going to turn it over to Kim and

680
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:06,160
our consultant to go through the process, the fees and what the recommendation is tonight. Thank you.

681
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:18,240
Good evening, Madam Mayor and members of the city council. Since I started in March,

682
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:27,600
the user fee has already taken place and I found out that this is the first time or in a long time

683
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:38,320
that the user fee has been done and so in discussion with the other departments, we found that it

684
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:47,360
was important to make sure that all those who will be impacted by this fee will be informed ahead of time.

685
01:04:48,400 --> 01:05:03,920
On April 23rd, we held a training session or an introduction session session of the user fee study.

686
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:12,720
We provided this PowerPoint presentation invited all the developers to attend and we held that meeting

687
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:25,440
in this chamber. After the session was held representatives from BIA for the questions and since

688
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:33,680
then we had four more meetings with them to provide additional information and clarify any questions or

689
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:46,480
concerns they had. So I know that the fee will impact a lot of people. The result of the fee study,

690
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:56,640
some of the fees that are non-developer related such as those coming from the community service

691
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:06,800
department, they have been included in the revenue projection. However, all other fees

692
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:15,840
that will impact the revenue estimate for next year, those revenues would not include it in the

693
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:23,360
general fund revenue projection. I just wanted to let you know that and now I will turn the time

694
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:30,800
over to our consultant, Tony Thrasher. Tony is from a well-down group and he has been working with the

695
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:38,880
city and staff back and forth for the last year to come up with the results of the study that he will be presenting tonight.

696
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:44,880
Tony? Great. Thank you, Kim. Thank you, Mayor and Council. I am Tony Thrasher with Will Den Financial,

697
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:50,480
the project manager for the fee study. So I'll just dive right in. Just start off with kind of what we're

698
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,840
talking about because the previous matter was impact fees. So these are user fees. Operational

699
01:06:55,840 --> 01:07:02,000
costs provided services that are private benefit primarily. So when I talk about the different

700
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,320
departments and their fees, I'll kind of point out what there's some perceived community benefit here

701
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:11,280
there. But by and large, when we're talking user fees, we're talking about private benefit services that are

702
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:17,520
funded generally through the general fund. So most of the costs and effort that comes out of this

703
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:22,960
impact through general fund. Under state law, the fees must reasonably relate to the costs

704
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:28,640
are estimated costs providing service, right? And so it's been some time since the city has done a

705
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:33,680
fee study. And so kind of the results and everything you see in here comparing the current fee to the full cost,

706
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:38,720
so the suggested fee is a reflection of all that. And we'll go through those individual departments

707
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:44,800
further on in the presentation. Fees are adopted through city council action and public hearing. Any fees

708
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:50,000
at effect development, there's a six-day hold and when those can be put effective. So we'll talk about

709
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:55,520
kind of the next steps towards the end of the presentation as well. This is a city-wide fee study. So

710
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:00,880
all departments are included within this, right? No one's exempt from this whole process. But

711
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,240
when we're kind of going through it and we're talking about the different departments, keep in mind,

712
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:10,000
it's cross-departmental too, just because the fee is shown within one department or another,

713
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:14,240
doesn't just mean that department's working on those fee services, you know, cities,

714
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,560
family, they all work together to kind of provide those services. And it's also important to note

715
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:24,080
we don't include development impact fees, utility rates, taxes, these are purely operational costs

716
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:32,000
provided services. So what's purpose of the study? The primary purpose of the study is to identify

717
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,280
what the full cost of services. Because the cost of these services are within your general fund,

718
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:42,720
any subsidies that you have impact your general fund, you're unobligated dollars. So because these fees

719
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:48,800
is offsetting your usage of tax dollars for community benefits, right? So any subsidies that you

720
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:55,040
have in there can limit your ability to fund those. So put another way, any subsidies, a private benefit,

721
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:01,920
offsets your ability to use for general benefit public safety, community events, things of that nature,

722
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:06,320
right? If you have sustained subsidies over a period of time and it becomes,

723
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:12,800
it gets too much, it can impact your service delivery because it impacts your ability to fully

724
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:18,080
staff your departments and provide those services on a timely basis. Ultimately, it comes down to kind of

725
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:23,040
three things, right? Identify what your cost of services is so that you can make the policy decisions

726
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:28,480
you want, where to set those fees and what subsidy levels you want to set them and maintain compliance

727
01:09:28,480 --> 01:09:33,280
with state law that your fees are set based off the reasonable estimate of cost for each of your fees.

728
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:39,600
So I mentioned primary goal of the study determine the full cost of service. So that's where we start.

729
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:45,520
We review the fee schedule with the departments. Go through identifying structural changes that need

730
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:50,400
be made to make sure that they reasonably relate to how service being provided, adding new fees,

731
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:55,200
removing obsolete fees, changing the fee structures themselves. And once the fee schedules in a place

732
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,680
that we're good to proceed, then we start collecting cost information primarily through time.

733
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,000
What's a reasonable time it takes to provide these services on a single case basis.

734
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:09,840
Once we identify the full cost, then we compare that to the current fee. Identify where your current

735
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:16,320
subsidies exist and talk about cost recovery policies that are typical of most cities and kind of go

736
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:21,760
through that kind of process and identify those suggested fee amounts to bring here tonight, right?

737
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:28,240
So again, those three things, right? Make sure that you know your costs are, so you can make policy

738
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,840
decisions and maintain compliance with state law and that's kind of the theme of tonight, right?

739
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:38,320
So, you can see these are operational costs provided services. The data that we use is your operational

740
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:45,120
costs through budget documents, or obstructures, staffing costs, indirect overhead or internal

741
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:50,400
service overhead as well is in factored in so we can get a full picture of the full cost providing all

742
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:55,440
services. We divide staff time by productive or build hours so identify when they're on the jump,

743
01:10:55,440 --> 01:11:00,560
able to provide services, taking out holidays, vacation, things like that so that could be fully covered

744
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:05,040
in those hours. And then we use time estimates from the subject matter experts, which is your staff

745
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:11,280
on what it takes to provide services for your city, right? As listed within your fee schedule. So it's important

746
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,760
out that at every step of the process, the way that we use data, make the calculations and come to the

747
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:21,600
results, it has to be a collaborative effort with your staff to make sure that they're every step of the

748
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:26,960
way and kind of making sure that the way that we use data, the way that we do the calculations is reasonable.

749
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:33,200
Here's a graph that just kind of represents summary steps of the process itself, right? So we start off

750
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:37,280
the model development so we can calculate the overheads as well as the fully Bernoulli rates for all

751
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:42,800
city staff. And then we meet with the departments and go over the fee schedules to update those so that we can then

752
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:47,440
collect time data on the updated fee schedules and calculate full cost of service.

753
01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:52,960
Compared to that to the current fee to identify what current subsidies exist and talk about setting

754
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:58,400
suggested fees for your consideration. We create the report around that. Now the ultimate angle,

755
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:03,040
who is to come before you in a public caring for consideration of an updated fee schedule.

756
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:08,000
As I mentioned, there's been a lot of interaction with the public and the building community to ensure

757
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,720
that there's full disclosure. We walk through all that sort of thing. We've actually provided

758
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:18,560
all the raw calculations that are within the study, the time data, as well as the fully Bernoulli

759
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:23,600
rate calculations that go into that full cost calculation, above and beyond what's required

760
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:29,120
by that state law. So it kind of get here tonight so that we can make sure that the public's fully

761
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:35,440
aware exactly what goes into all that. Here's an example of those cost calculations. So the fully Bernoulli

762
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:39,840
rates is the basis of costs for most services in the study. It includes salaries and benefits,

763
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:46,000
services supplies, indirect or support costs as well, divided by a product of hours to get to a

764
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,240
fully Bernoulli rate that is then multiplied by the amount of time it takes to write each and every

765
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:58,000
service to get to a full cost calculation. I mentioned across the departmental. So we're talking about

766
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,400
the planning fee. It doesn't just mean planning is working on it. You got planning, you got building,

767
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:07,360
engineering, you got a ton of different departments that are incorporated within the fee if they're

768
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:11,520
directly or indirectly involved. If they're indirectly involved, it's part of the overhead.

769
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,760
But if they're directly involved, they need to spend time on an exact service then they are included

770
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:20,000
within the time data that's existing in there, as well as any contract costs that might be involved too.

771
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:26,880
Now I get to go into the individual departments. I want to note every city has hundreds of fees.

772
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:31,680
So this is meant to be kind of a summary of the recommendations and results that came out of the study.

773
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,080
So I'll kind of go through them. You're going to hear a lot of similar language.

774
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:40,960
But so for administration, primarily duplication and appeal-related fees,

775
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:46,320
it was a time-based cost analysis to found that appeal fees are being heavily subsidized, which is typical

776
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:52,960
and would still remain. But the suggested fee notes are a $3 increase to the administrative decision

777
01:13:52,960 --> 01:14:00,640
appeal, and then all other 13 fees remain as currently set. For finance, it was a time-based cost analysis,

778
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:06,640
the found that current services are below the cost providing them. So there's a suggested increase to 20 fees.

779
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:11,040
Three fees remain as currently set and the average fee increase would be 15%.

780
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:18,240
For business license, same story, time-based cost analysis to found the current fees are most

781
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:23,360
liberal over the full cost providing services. So the suggestion is an increase to 15 fees.

782
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:29,200
Three fees would decrease four fees remain as currently set and the average fee change would be an increase of 9%.

783
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:35,200
Now for community service, this work I talked about a little differently. So for community

784
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:39,840
services, their fees fall into a different classification of an exemption under Prop 26.

785
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:45,200
A lot of the fees are for facility rentals, recreation programs, and should be set based off policy,

786
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:51,600
usage factors, market factors. So when we look at those fees, we do a cost analysis to ensure that

787
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:59,760
the fees are under full cost recovery. But I've never worked with the city that does recover 100%.

788
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,000
So when we come into this, it is mostly making sure that we do that analysis and then any fee changes or suggestions are based off to have recommendations to right size or normalize fees if they have a change in a while, right? So the Department is currently operating at around 64% cost recovery. There are individual target cost recovery that's detailed within the report for each of those fees. And there's a suggested increase to 100 fees. 10 new fees would be added and the rest of the fees remain as currently set.

789
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Again, revenue production or cost recovery was not the primary goal of that is to right size those fees make sure that they are reasonable.

790
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:45,000
For police, if the time base costs analysis, the found that fees are mostly set below the full cost providing them.

791
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:58,000
So there is a suggested increase to 11 fees, decrease the two fees, the total service fees or five of them would be set at the contract rate, so that they can be in line with whatever the contract states at that any given point in time.

792
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:06,000
So you get full cost recovery that is listed within there. And 19 fees remain at the current amounts and the average fee change would be an increase of 11%.

793
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:13,000
And for planning fees, it was also a time-based cost analysis and there's two findings. These have been updated in a very long time.

794
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:26,000
And I don't quite know exactly what went into the previous calculations. So we did find the current fees are below full cost recovery and they didn't include the cost departmental support, so all that kind of goes into that.

795
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:37,000
And so there's a suggested increase to 59 of those fees with a decrease to 11 fee and 11 new fees would be added. Seven fees remains currently set and the average fee increase would be 40% for those fees.

796
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,000
For building, there's two parts to their schedule.

797
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:50,000
One is the flat fees which use time-based calculation for those that found that they are below the full cost recovery. So there's an increase recommended for 11 of those fees.

798
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:59,000
There is a decrease recommended for the residential solar permit fee to be in line with the government code that restricts the limit on those.

799
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:05,000
And then the seven other fees as well as the map schedules remain as currently set.

800
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Now the other part is the building permit program.

801
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:14,000
It uses valuation as a base to determine the amount of level of effort on the staff spends in providing service.

802
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:25,000
And for that one, we determine the cost recovery of the program is operating at 97% cost recovery. So the recommendation is just to increase that by 3% to get to full cost recovery. So small increase there.

803
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:35,000
For engineering, time-based analysis, the found the current fees are below the cost providing services and we're not including cost departmental support on providing services.

804
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:41,000
So there's an increase suggested to 57 fees. 10 fees would decrease 11 fees remain unchanged.

805
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:49,000
The seven grading plan check fees would change in their methodology instead of be based off acreage that we've based off of per sheet.

806
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
To better reflect how service is being provided.

807
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:56,000
And nine new fees would be added for an average fee change of 40%.

808
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:01,000
And that's the list of all the departments and summary of that, right? So just to circle back.

809
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:10,000
General, general fund provided services, private benefit services. So the general standard is if there is a private benefit being conveyed that 100% of the full cost gets collected.

810
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:18,000
So that you are not, you know, having to limit the amount of general benefit activities that you can spend on your general tax office, right?

811
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Suggested fees or sorry, yeah, the suggested fees were compared to your neighbors and found to be comparable.

812
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:32,000
That time of suggested fees, not the current fees. Current fees are well below your neighbors, but the suggested fees were found to be comparable to your neighbors.

813
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:38,000
So kind of keep in line, but it's been decades since you last updated these. So there's a jump in there, right?

814
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Now the effective date of the fees would be different depending on what type of fee it is.

815
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:51,000
So be July 1st for non-development related fees and August 18 for any fees that affect development because there's that 60 day hold and when they can be effective.

816
01:18:51,000 --> 01:19:01,000
And then there's a recommendation starting on July 1st of each year to adjust fees based off of the February to February CPI consumer price index.

817
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:08,000
So you kind of keep up with your fees and costs over the years and not have to have these jobs, right?

818
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:14,000
And then to have a comprehensive analysis every five years instead of maybe 20 years, right?

819
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,000
And I'm here to answer any questions as well as staff for the departments.

820
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:24,000
And disclosure, willing financial services also provides municipal advisor services, but I am not here in that capacity in any way shape or form.

821
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,000
So small text, but thank you for your time.

822
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Okay, we do have one written request to speak Anna Gromus.

823
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Before we do that, I would like to add a little note on the CPI adjustment.

824
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:49,000
There will be a correction that will be made by the city attorney in the resolution.

825
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:59,000
It currently reads that the adjustment will be will take effect on February 1st of each year that will be corrected to reach a live 1st of each year.

826
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,000
I'm using the February CPI.

827
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:14,000
And also, I wanted to note that today we have met with representatives from BIA.

828
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:28,000
And one of the requests that they wanted me to pass on to the city council was that they're requesting a phasin of all user fee increases.

829
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:48,000
If the city council approves, that means 50% phasin at the time of implementation on August 18 and the other 50% to be effective on June 2026.

830
01:20:48,000 --> 01:21:01,000
My comment on this is that, like Tony said, our objective is to recover our fees of doing business.

831
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:11,000
The information, the data that we used to calculate the fee is the fiscal year 2425 midterm budget.

832
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:18,000
So, these fees, if it becomes effective, will be for next year.

833
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:25,000
So, as you know, next year's budget, the cost will go higher than the current year budget.

834
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:32,000
So, already will one year be high in just by using the current year alone.

835
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:45,000
So, from a financial standpoint, I would recommend that staff recommends that the city council approves the full cost recovery of these user fees.

836
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Thank you.

837
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Thank you, Kim.

838
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Anna?

839
01:21:50,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Good evening, Mayor, members of the council.

840
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Anna Gromis here representing the building industry associations, specifically the San Bernardino County chapter.

841
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,000
I want to start by saying we do appreciate the dialogue.

842
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:13,000
We've had many conversations, lots of emails, and it does not go unnoticed.

843
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
So, we thank you for the open conversation that you've had with our industry.

844
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:26,000
I'm here before you because we still have three concerns that we want you all to consider before you vote on this agenda item this evening.

845
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:35,000
The building community acknowledges and understands the city's need to update fees, protect the general fund, and improve cost recovery.

846
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:40,000
However, we would like you to consider the following three matters before taking action.

847
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:47,000
We're just being that 22 of the fees are proposed for increase are increasing by over 100%.

848
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Which means that these fees are now more than doubling.

849
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Some of the fees are increasing by higher amounts, some up to 400%.

850
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:03,000
None of our members have budgeted for 500% increases on their projects that are currently in progress.

851
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:09,000
We ask that you either place a cap on these increases or phase in these increases over the next year.

852
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:17,000
We hope that you are agreeable to an effective date of August 18th and then an increase again six months from that date.

853
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Or the next fiscal year, whichever is more convenient for city staff.

854
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Our second concern is with the valuation table for plan check.

855
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:32,000
We believe that this is flawed and it needs to be updated so that it scales for projects past one million.

856
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:44,000
The base rates are acceptable but the city should modify the per 1000 of project valuation to ensure that two three five and ten million dollar projects are not penalized by the suggested fees.

857
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:56,000
We ask that you direct staff to modify the table between now and the August 18th effective date to ensure that larger projects are not penalized by an outdated table that stops at one million one dollar.

858
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:07,000
The BAA membership feels this step will provide clarity on larger multi-million dollar projects and will protect the city from any legal challenges to the fees on very large projects.

859
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:15,000
Lastly, staff made it clear today that submissions prior to the effective date of new fees which would be charged the old rates.

860
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:21,000
We ask that your motion related to the fee changes include consideration of in progress projects.

861
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:29,000
What this means is that any submission prior to the August 18th date would still get charged using the old fee structure and rates.

862
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,000
In closing, we ask for the following considerations.

863
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:38,000
The first being a cap on large increases or phasing of the free and fee increases.

864
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Modification of the valuation table to consider projects over one million and projects in progress should still be subject to the old fee structure.

865
01:24:48,000 --> 01:25:05,000
We respectfully request a 30 day delay to continue these conversations so that we can get better clarity on the three items that we brought up this evening but again we just want to thank you the city, the staff for the open dialogue, the collaboration and we hope that we can continue to partner with you all.

866
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,000
Thank you.

867
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Is there anyone else in the audience that would like to address the council on this item?

868
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:20,000
You see, now I'll close the public hearing. Council questions or comments?

869
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:24,000
There's a pretend button.

870
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Can you mention that it's been a while since we've updated these user fees.

871
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:37,000
We know exactly when the last time these were updated.

872
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:43,000
From discussion with our staff, the last time was done in the 1980s.

873
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Okay, so that's quite a long time ago.

874
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:55,000
And when we went out and we determined what these new fees would be.

875
01:25:55,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Did we do a comparison with all of the other cities in our area?

876
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,000
At that time? Yes, we have.

877
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:10,000
And that was in the comparisons are included in the book that was provided.

878
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:16,000
If you look at the book, it's on page 23 of the user fee stake.

879
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:26,000
So really, when we think about builders and developers and paying these fees in other communities,

880
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:31,000
they're used to paying these higher fees and when they come to Chino,

881
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:38,000
they've been given basically just gratis on a lot of things that they didn't have to pay in other communities.

882
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Isn't that correct?

883
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,000
It appears to be so.

884
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,000
Okay.

885
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:48,000
I think it's definitely reasonable when we talk about 400% increases,

886
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:57,000
especially if we haven't had any increases since the 1980s that we would raise them to that level.

887
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,000
So thank you very much.

888
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:10,000
I just wanted to clarify that the comment regarding the 1980s is that we have not had a formal study by a consultant.

889
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:18,000
But over the years, staff has done incremental increases by our staff.

890
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:25,000
But those incremental increases are not always approved.

891
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:34,000
And sometimes the costs used did not incorporate all the overheads that the study has incorporated at this time.

892
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Linda, you've had a comment.

893
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,000
I was going to say that.

894
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Okay.

895
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Okay.

896
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Thank you, Mayor.

897
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Well, I'm very familiar with the user fees from my work.

898
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,000
And I agree with the comments that Council Member Burton made.

899
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:55,000
There's been a long time since we've actually examined these and looked at them.

900
01:27:55,000 --> 01:28:00,000
And this is the problem when we just not do it in a nuanced manner.

901
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:10,000
I was a part of us looking at these and trying to, you know, basically each director, each department trying to take what I would call it, you know, an educated calculation or guess at it.

902
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:18,000
And it is helpful when we have somebody come in and analyze this for us and check our own work and compare it to our neighbors.

903
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:25,000
So I happen to be an agreement with the comments from Council Member Burton and that.

904
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:32,000
It would be like saying, hey, if we had a homicide increase of 100% in June, we may have went from one to two homicides.

905
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:43,000
So although I will say some of the fees that have increased for development are high, it seems like a lot of money.

906
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
But then on the flip side when you start talking about the cost that was pointed out.

907
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:54,000
I also think that larger developments are more impactful and required more time and effort.

908
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:58,000
So there are fees associated with that, which I think are responsible.

909
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:07,000
The one thing I would like to ask the Council to discuss, they would is to give consideration to is the request for the in-process fees.

910
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:15,000
I understand her point on that and maybe a part of a conversation do we, I mean.

911
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Listen, we just are previous staff or we're very aware that you see a Council pass a report that says we're going to reduce fees.

912
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Right? And we have reduced some fees here, but we're also increasing some.

913
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:34,000
So I guess what I'm asking is, do we want to, in this particular case, look at anything that's already been submitted and allow for them to pay the current fee before this goes into effect.

914
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,000
It's my question.

915
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:55,000
And if I may, Mayor and Council, just for clarification is the thought process that if an applicant has actually submitted an application is undertaking undergoing the entitlement process would not be subjected to the fees of trying to figure out what timeline.

916
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Well, I think that was her request and that's I'm wrong, but here's the problem.

917
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Got it in there and you know, just the lack of timing, right? I mean, sometimes it's hard for us to get that stuff turned around quickly enough for them. They probably would have wanted for all of us to be done already before these fees changed.

918
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:28,000
I guess the staff is how many projects we would be talking about that way. Do we have an estimation? Is it, is it tender? Is it a thousand? I'm not exactly sure that matters, but what are we looking at?

919
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:53,000
Member council. So I think the issue is for the plan check process. So the way it works and the entitlement when they come in, they pay already. So there's no need to rectil a pay on the entitlement, they pay up front. During the plan check process, that's when they submit plans, they pay for the plan check. And they don't get the bill to permit fee till the very end, or they don't get charged for till the very end.

920
01:30:53,000 --> 01:31:13,000
So what they're asking for is once they have a project again, maybe staff can go in and calculate it, have them pay that fee, because even if the plan check takes longer past the 60 days, they still are in and they're going through the plan check, they just don't want to be penalized by finishing right after the fee goes into effect. So that's the issue I think.

921
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:23,000
So they want to make sure that title is not a problem. It's the plan check fee process. And I think in the staff that we be okay with working with them, if we can, subject to council approval.

922
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Thank you, Warren.

923
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:37,000
I also think that's reasonable. You know, they've already submitted for it. I had a time like this. I would agree that that is a reasonable request, and I would say yes to that.

924
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Well, obviously, they have things that are budgeted, and they've already figured that out. So yeah, is there any objection?

925
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:59,000
So perhaps just to sort of close the loop and make sure there's clarity, if an applicant has a member of the public has submitted an application for development.

926
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:11,000
They are able to pre-paid, for example, that building permit fee before the increase would become effective, is that the suggestion.

927
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,000
I'm seeing.

928
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
Okay, yes.

929
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Okay, so that would be an opportunity. Obviously after the fee comes into place, if an applicant doesn't want to take advantage of pre-paying that fee, then presumably the council would be okay imposing the updated fee.

930
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:34,000
If they pre-paid it, I think it's fair because like the mayor said they budget for, but if they haven't, then the fee can be imposed.

931
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Okay, I just want to make sure that's clear.

932
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Okay.

933
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:43,000
So anyone else in the public that wants to address the council on this item?

934
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Okay.

935
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,000
And we've got that tank curve.

936
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Public hearing is closed.

937
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Any other council discussion?

938
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Mark.

939
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Can you give me an example of which, which user fees going up 400%.

940
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:02,000
Okay.

941
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:06,000
Okay.

942
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:10,000
Okay.

943
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Okay.

944
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Okay.

945
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Okay.

946
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Can you find one?

947
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Okay.

948
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,000
I can find one that's 388%.

949
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,000
388%.

950
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Special conditional use permit.

951
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,000
Is it intentional or not?

952
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Okay.

953
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:38,000
What pages of?

954
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,000
Well, I just have a chart out there.

955
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Okay.

956
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Okay.

957
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,000
Okay.

958
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Okay.

959
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Maybe we can reopen the hearing mayor and ask the applicant, which one is she's referring to?

960
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Fred is.

961
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:09,000
Okay.

962
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Can I do that?

963
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Yes, it's your.

964
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,000
You can open the public hearing.

965
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Do you recall which fee that was?

966
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:16,000
I do.

967
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,000
So this is the chart.

968
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:18,000
I apologize.

969
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:19,000
This is the chart.

970
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,000
That was what we shared with us by staff.

971
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,000
So there are several.

972
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:25,000
The one.

973
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:26,000
There's one.

974
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Eight hundred and forty three percent, which is the simple inspection traffic control fee.

975
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,000
The.

976
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:34,000
There is.

977
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:39,000
Four hundred and forty three percent is the right of way encroachment permit.

978
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,000
For a minor encroachment.

979
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Three hundred and eighty one percent.

980
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:48,000
For the special conditional conditional use permit.

981
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,000
Three ninety five.

982
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,000
For the master site approval review.

983
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,000
I'm happy to go through more of them if you'd like, but that was the chart that was provided.

984
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,000
You have to be amount.

985
01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:59,000
Yes.

986
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,000
What amount to what amount?

987
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,000
So the chart does not have the dollar signs.

988
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:07,000
So associated with it, just the percentages.

989
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,000
So are you referring to the fee change?

990
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Call them at the right on the table in the report.

991
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Correct.

992
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,000
That's dollars.

993
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,000
The percentages.

994
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,000
I'm not familiar with that chart.

995
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:23,000
That's not from our report.

996
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:24,000
Okay.

997
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:25,000
We can.

998
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Yes.

999
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:27,000
Yes.

1000
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:28,000
I'd like to.

1001
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Just so.

1002
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,000
Just so report shows the fee change and dollars.

1003
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Comparing the.

1004
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,000
The suggested fee to the current fee.

1005
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Right.

1006
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,000
So for instance, the right away encroachment.

1007
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,000
Number thirty seven under public courts engineering goes from.

1008
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:44,000
One eighty five to four eighty, which is a two hundred and ninety five dollar increase.

1009
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:48,000
Are you able to point the council to page on the agenda?

1010
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Oh, it's a page when you warm looking out right now.

1011
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Fifty four the report.

1012
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:55,000
Yes.

1013
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Yes.

1014
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Yeah.

1015
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:01,000
I think to the point, some of them do sound egregious and some of the.

1016
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,000
Work expensive, but when you look at it in its total sum, it was a two hundred ninety five dollar increase.

1017
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,000
Yeah, and also keep in mind that the the code.

1018
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Has changed quite a bit from the eighties.

1019
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,000
Right.

1020
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,000
What's involved?

1021
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:15,000
What's required?

1022
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,000
We're involved in any step in the process.

1023
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,000
How much time is needed in order to do that.

1024
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,000
And so over the past thirty years.

1025
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Right.

1026
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,000
A lot of changed.

1027
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,000
So if we're talking about a hundred and eighty five dollar fee.

1028
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:31,000
That is not really seeing any more in any capacity.

1029
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,000
That's quite low.

1030
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Unless it's just a simple hourly.

1031
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,000
For more.

1032
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Okay.

1033
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Thank you for the clever.

1034
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Yeah.

1035
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,000
Sometimes the percentage.

1036
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,000
When an astronomical increase, but when you look at the dollar amount.

1037
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,000
It's less than that.

1038
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,000
I think that was my point instead of percentages versus the actual amount.

1039
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:53,000
Right.

1040
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:58,000
That's why I wanted to ask the applicant which fee she was specifically referring to.

1041
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,000
I don't have any more for any more questions.

1042
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Okay.

1043
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,000
This is a question.

1044
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,000
I don't believe you've closed the public hearing.

1045
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Yeah.

1046
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Okay.

1047
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:10,000
We closed the public hearing.

1048
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:14,000
Any other questions from staff or comments?

1049
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Okay.

1050
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:20,000
We do have a note to change to the.

1051
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:26,000
The resolution there just lost my own note.

1052
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Oh gosh.

1053
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:29,000
What is this thing?

1054
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Too many papers.

1055
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,000
If we do have a modification to the resolution.

1056
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Date changes.

1057
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000
So that will become part of the.

1058
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Record on item number 12.

1059
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:43,000
Okay.

1060
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:48,000
The staff recommendation is to.

1061
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,000
Adopt the new and change city fees for the services.

1062
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,000
Per the concert.

1063
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Comprehensive use of fee study report.

1064
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Is there a motion in a second?

1065
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Do we do we need to include the recommendation that we gave to staff in it.

1066
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:01,000
Mayor?

1067
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Yes.

1068
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:03,000
That should be clarified in the motion.

1069
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:07,000
And the modification to the resolution.

1070
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:11,000
Resolution and if they've got their application in.

1071
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,000
The application is already in.

1072
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,000
Then it's locked to the current fees.

1073
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:19,000
As long as they've pre-picked giving them an opportunity to pre-picked before.

1074
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:20,000
Yes.

1075
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Okay.

1076
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:25,000
There's motion from council members.

1077
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,000
Com stop second from Mayor.

1078
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:31,000
Please vote.

1079
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Item has decision anonymously.

1080
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:39,000
Item number 13 under new business fiscal year 2526 budget adoption.

1081
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,000
This is to approve the 2526 proposed budget.

1082
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,000
And appropriations limit for fiscal year 2526.

1083
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,000
And authorizes the city manager.

1084
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Tech skewed on this.

1085
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Sorry documents on behalf of the city.

1086
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Staff reports is healing will be provided by our director of finance.

1087
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,000
Kim Sal.

1088
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1089
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:11,000
So this is a continuation of our budget workshop.

1090
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:14,000
That was held on May 22nd.

1091
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,000
Twenty twenty five.

1092
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
I'm doing that budget workshop.

1093
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Staff provided a basic understanding of the budget.

1094
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:30,000
We also did an overview of the general fund and other funds.

1095
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:33,000
Position changes.

1096
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Also it was followed by a department presentation.

1097
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:43,000
And then a wrap up.

1098
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Since the budget workshop was held.

1099
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:52,000
We have made more changes.

1100
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Some of them are from feedback from the city council.

1101
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Some of them are just minor corrections.

1102
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:08,000
And some of them are from appropriation that were approved by the city council.

1103
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,000
In other agenda items.

1104
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Some of them will be presented to the city council tonight for those appropriation.

1105
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:32,000
We included all those appropriation requests into this final proposed budget for the city council's consideration tonight.

1106
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:41,000
This is an overview of the total budget city white budget that was presented to the city council on May 22nd.

1107
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,000
As you can see, just a highlight on the general fund.

1108
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:51,000
At that time, the general fund ended with a point two million dollars.

1109
01:40:51,000 --> 01:41:00,000
And those numbers will change tonight.

1110
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:10,000
On the attachment A is a summary of all the changes that were made since the budget workshop.

1111
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:18,000
However, for purpose of this presentation, I would just highlight a few of them.

1112
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,000
Before I go through those three bullet points.

1113
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:29,000
One of the ones I did not include was an adjustment to the general fund.

1114
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Revenue estimate.

1115
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:43,000
In the item agenda item 11 that was presented by public works tonight regarding the diff fee.

1116
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:47,000
That change the rate from 12% to 3%.

1117
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:54,000
That change impacted the general fund revenue estimate by $3 million.

1118
01:41:54,000 --> 01:42:00,000
So we are reducing the general fund revenue by $3 million.

1119
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:13,000
So as you can see, the 8.2 million dollar surplus will be reduced further by $3 million.

1120
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:19,000
In this screen here, you will see the Civic Center paint project.

1121
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:22,000
This was something that the city council requested.

1122
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:34,000
We got a preliminary estimate of 2.5 million to paint the city hall facility.

1123
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:46,000
We are including 50,000 in the proposed budget so that we have more time to do further research on this project.

1124
01:42:46,000 --> 01:43:01,000
However, to ensure that we do have funding, we will set aside 2.45 million in the fiscal year 2425 fund balance.

1125
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:06,000
So when we close this fiscal year, we will set aside that much money.

1126
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:14,000
So that when the project is ready to move forward, we will have enough fund to appropriate at that time.

1127
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:18,000
Next one is the Preserve Teen Center Programming.

1128
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,000
We are adding $168,000.

1129
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Part of that is for staffing and supplies which total 78,000.

1130
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:34,000
And the cost of the fan for 90,000.

1131
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:40,000
And lastly, the West and Regional Navigation Center, we added 200,000 more.

1132
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:46,000
And this will be paid for by the Affordable Housing Fund.

1133
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:55,000
And all other changes are in the attachment A. They will be included in the final proposal.

1134
01:43:55,000 --> 01:44:01,000
This is the snapshot again of the revised transfers in and out.

1135
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,000
During the budget, there is movement of money between funds.

1136
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:15,000
And in this snapshot, as you could see, general fund is transferring out close to $28 million.

1137
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:24,000
So in addition to the operating budget, there is also a $28 million transfer out from the general fund.

1138
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:31,000
So this money goes out to the other rarest fund, as you can see, it's going into the special revenue funds.

1139
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:38,000
That $51 million includes a lot of that transfer out from the general fund.

1140
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:45,000
The community services department budget is included in the special revenue funds.

1141
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:54,000
So the money is going there to subsidize what the community services cannot pay just from their fees alone.

1142
01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:00,000
And also, it's funding the lighting district in the operation.

1143
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:10,000
So, transfers in and out, usually equal each other, because they're just money coming in and out of each funds.

1144
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:18,000
But there is no, as you could see, there's an effect to each fund, but no bottom line effect overall.

1145
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:30,000
I just, this, this screen is just to highlight the importance of measure V that was approved last year.

1146
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:41,000
As you could see, in this general fund proposed budget, we have total sources of $1.132,000.

1147
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:46,000
24.5 million of that comes from general fund.

1148
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:55,000
And expenditure, total uses, represent total, total, 128,000.

1149
01:45:55,000 --> 01:46:04,000
So the difference between the total sources and uses results in a $4.5 million surplus.

1150
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:21,000
So, if we were to show a different picture, taking the 24.5 million out of the picture, you could see the impact of how important measure V is.

1151
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:29,000
We would have had a $20 million deficit instead.

1152
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:34,000
Again, I showed this during the budget workshop, but it's important to highlight it again.

1153
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:39,000
This is a history, a 10 year history of the sales tax.

1154
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:57,000
And you could see the jump from 36 million to 60 million in the current year, 24.25 due to the infusion of measure V revenue.

1155
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:14,000
So I know that when we approve the measure V that the city has promised that some of the money will be used towards initiatives that the city council had requested.

1156
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:28,000
And so in this summary, we show that we're spending about $16 million of the measure V money toward those items.

1157
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:33,000
On the first one, we have personal retention, $4.1 million.

1158
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:39,000
A lot of those are to pay for the class that was done last year.

1159
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:50,000
That had a large increase to sell some benefits and also to addition of new positions.

1160
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:59,000
And also there were deferred maintenance that we are now trying to include in next year's budget.

1161
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:08,000
For non-capital projects, $2.1 million.

1162
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:22,000
That includes a big portion of the arc and the forest management plan of about $200,000.

1163
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:34,000
And for capital projects, the $8.6 million includes a lot of projects that is too much for me to list.

1164
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:43,000
But we could provide a detail if the city council wishes to see what makes up the $8.6 million.

1165
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:58,000
So in summary, so 67% of the $24 million is being spent on measure the investments.

1166
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:06,000
This is the screenshot that I showed also at the budget workshop, but we left out one line item at the bottom.

1167
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:15,000
And this is the retitling of management analyst to permit center coordinator.

1168
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:22,000
And this is just a retitle and has no fiscal impact.

1169
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:32,000
So at the end of each fiscal year, there are projects that are not completed by June 30.

1170
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:38,000
And those are what we call continuing appropriation.

1171
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:44,000
Instead of budgeting it again, we normally just carry over the budget.

1172
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:53,000
I should know most of the budget for operations labs at June 30, except for projects.

1173
01:49:53,000 --> 01:50:00,000
There are CIP projects or large projects that continue from year to year.

1174
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:12,000
And at June 30, we estimated that 87 million of the budget that has previously been approved by the city council.

1175
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Those projects will not complete at the end of June.

1176
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:18,000
And so we will carry forward to next year.

1177
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:25,000
So as you can see, 87 million, these money, it's not spent by June.

1178
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:29,000
The money goes back into the bucket into the fund balance.

1179
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:33,000
So when we carry these forward, it's actually funding.

1180
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:44,000
They're being funded from the fund balance instead of the current year of operation operating revenue.

1181
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:51,000
This is a final snapshot of the proposed budget, which includes all the adjustments.

1182
01:50:51,000 --> 01:51:11,000
The citywide total revenues are 325 million total expenditures of 266 million total capital projects 8.9 million total transfers in and out 61.8 million.

1183
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:24,000
And looking at the general fund, the revised surplus is now 4.5 million due to the reduction of the $3 million adjustment in the diff revenue.

1184
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:40,000
And also we are including the successor agency, which is something that we include in the budget year to year and is for the winding down of the former redevelopment agency.

1185
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:59,000
In summary, at the end of the year, we estimated that for this year, the year will end with a 37.37.7 million dollars in ending fund balance.

1186
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:14,000
Plus the 4.5 million next year, which will result in a 42 million dollar at the end of June 30, 2026.

1187
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:26,000
As part of the budget process, we also asked the city council to adopt the GAN limit.

1188
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:38,000
So the city is required to adopt an appropriation limit in accordance with the GAN limit to ensure that government spending remains within the constitutional limits.

1189
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:53,000
For fiscal year 2526, the appropriation limit is this is a big number of $3.8 billion, meaning that the city cannot allocate tax revenues beyond this threshold.

1190
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,000
I think we'll fly from that.

1191
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:07,000
The total tax revenue subject to the limit for this fiscal year is $116 million.

1192
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:15,000
So that means the city is well under the limit of 3.7 million billion.

1193
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:20,000
So this difference represents the maximum amount of tax revenue.

1194
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:26,000
The city could legally appropriate if additional revenue were available.

1195
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:33,000
And so by adopting this limit, we ensure that we are in compliance with the state fiscal constraints.

1196
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:43,000
And we want to show this as part of our accountability and transparency.

1197
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:54,000
Oh, and on exhibit or attachment A, that was included in the website.

1198
01:53:54,000 --> 01:54:01,000
We have since revised the attachment A to reflect it.

1199
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:08,000
So additional changes, but those changes have been included in the summary that I have just presented.

1200
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:16,000
And we have provided the city council with the revised.

1201
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:26,000
So this is our recommendation is for the city council to adopt the resolution of putting the fiscal year 2526 proposed budget.

1202
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:33,000
And also the resolution to approve the appropriations limit for 2526.

1203
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:40,000
And also authorize the city manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the city.

1204
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:43,000
And this concludes my presentation.

1205
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:47,000
And would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

1206
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Okay, is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the council on item number 13.

1207
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:57,000
Can you see none, I'll turn it over to council comments.

1208
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:01,000
Chris any comments? Mark.

1209
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:03,000
Curt.

1210
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Karen.

1211
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,000
I have a comment, of course.

1212
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Measure V. We promised the citizens that we would have full accountability of the income and the expenditures.

1213
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:25,000
And the accountability that we are reflecting is a very, very high level, which I personally am not happy with.

1214
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:33,000
So I would like those numbers to be expanded to show the detail and what we're doing with measure V money.

1215
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:41,000
And then I have a question that was eight million dollars carry over I guess that's not proposed to be expanded.

1216
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:45,000
What are we doing with the eight million dollars?

1217
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:51,000
If you can go back to that chart, you'll see it.

1218
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:59,000
Okay.

1219
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:05,000
So you have we are making twenty four million dollars.

1220
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,000
The investments are 16 million.

1221
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:11,000
So there's eight million dollars that's not accounted for.

1222
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,000
For next year, next fiscal year.

1223
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:17,000
Is that going to be rolled over to the next fiscal year?

1224
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Or is it being your mark for future capital projects?

1225
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:31,000
See, this chart to me does not show full xx disclosure on what we're going to do with measure V money.

1226
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Okay.

1227
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:37,000
So there's the personnel retention that went towards salary adjustments and things like that.

1228
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:39,000
That's a little bit.

1229
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:43,000
I think more difficult to get into the details, but deferred maintenance.

1230
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:45,000
You can certainly define that.

1231
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:50,000
Staff augmentation not sure non capital projects capital projects.

1232
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:54,000
All that can be expanded to show what we're reflecting where it's going to go.

1233
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,000
But what about the balance?

1234
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Yes, I agree.

1235
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:04,000
So as I had mentioned earlier, I do have details of this summary.

1236
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,000
And we can provide it to the city council.

1237
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:12,000
We're also working with the administration department to provide

1238
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:18,000
these transparency portal on the city website.

1239
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:24,000
That will show how much we have been spending on measure V investments.

1240
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:38,000
And I believe I'm not sure when we will put that up, but we will gather pictures of the items that we are expanding on.

1241
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
We will expand these in detail so that the public can view them.

1242
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:46,000
And regarding the balance of the eight million.

1243
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:52,000
So this total number is part of the general fund revenue estimate.

1244
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,000
So as as I had highlight earlier.

1245
01:57:56,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Without the 2.24 million.

1246
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:06,000
The budget will be in deficit of 20 million.

1247
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,000
I understand.

1248
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:12,000
So you need to show where the rest of that money is going to go.

1249
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,000
So I know it's part of the general fund.

1250
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,000
I get that.

1251
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:20,000
But again, we promise the public full accountability for the 24 million.

1252
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
And that one chart does not give full accountability.

1253
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,000
I get it.

1254
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:30,000
So we have projects of $933,000.

1255
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:34,000
And there are projects that are underway.

1256
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:38,000
That we are appropriating $4.9 million.

1257
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:44,000
And an additional $2.9 million for projects that are underway.

1258
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:49,000
So we have a list of what makes up the $8.6 million.

1259
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:50,000
That's remaining.

1260
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Then I would like that.

1261
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:53,000
I would like that.

1262
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:56,000
So that we know it and so the public knows it.

1263
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:06,000
I think we should put it on our city website exactly.

1264
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:10,000
What projects we're paying for out of measure V.

1265
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:16,000
I think it would also be important that if there's a project that we're doing out there in the community

1266
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:20,000
that you put some signage up there that says paid for by measure Vs

1267
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:23,000
or the community that doesn't log onto our website.

1268
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:28,000
It can also see it and they can see where their tax money is being spent.

1269
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:32,000
I think that's really what we promised them.

1270
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:40,000
So I think to the what the mayor is saying when you say we have $8.6 million in capital projects,

1271
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:44,000
the general public doesn't know what those $8.6 million are.

1272
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:48,000
And I think it's important for them to know exactly what's getting improved.

1273
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:52,000
Because we told them there was a lot of deferred maintenance that we had.

1274
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:54,000
A lot of roads that needed to be constructed.

1275
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:58,000
And I think it's important to tell them exactly what roads we're fixing.

1276
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,000
Well, playgrounds we're fixing.

1277
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:09,400
So, to those comments, I actually share with the city manager that a, but the capital improvement

1278
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:15,000
portal that we have that we just launched, how you can track it. I thought it would be nice to have

1279
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:22,000
that somehow, with the measure of V money, be able to reflect those projects and how they're connected. I'm sure there's

1280
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:27,000
a way through a portal now that, to the mayor's point, we can break out deferred maintenance, capital improvement

1281
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:34,000
projects and have them listed in, appropriately, represent each other, hopefully through, not positive

1282
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:40,000
it's possible, but somehow that they correlate in the public and see that through the portal.

1283
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:42,000
So, right.

1284
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:47,000
I just want to add that, yes, we will be doing that and we'll take these comments and we'll add it.

1285
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:52,000
One other thing that we're doing is we're not only going to notice our measure V projects, we'll

1286
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:57,000
say we have a sign, we've created a logo brought to you by measure V. We're also going to do brought

1287
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:02,000
to you by measure I, so that people understand that that's also funding they assume from there.

1288
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,000
Their gas tax, correct, mayor? Their gas tax.

1289
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:08,000
It's a lot of people don't understand where we get that funding.

1290
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:15,000
So, September of 25, I know we don't usually give you a date, but that's our target to have all of this information

1291
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:20,000
up on the website. We'll have our budget up there, our act for up there and then we will also have our

1292
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:25,000
information for measure V. And we will break it all out by project. So, we're doing well not

1293
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:31,000
park. We already did Iolapark and some of the other projects we've already did, we already completed

1294
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:37,000
or are in process of. We'll list all the parks brought to you by measure V. All the things we've got in the

1295
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:43,000
current budget, which I know it's a big list, but I know we're doing several parks coming up. We've got the

1296
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:47,000
HVAC systems and a lot of things that are going to be brought to you by measure V.

1297
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:52,000
Now, I also wanted to clarify something because I know it says the paint the civic center, but then we

1298
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:58,000
said city hall. So, the 2.5 million dollars is not just the paint this one building correct. It's the paint.

1299
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,000
All of it. All the civic center.

1300
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,000
That's correct.

1301
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:02,000
Okay.

1302
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:06,000
And probably the comprehensive repairs that need to be conducted to you.

1303
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Well, yeah, we'll have to do all the stuck over pair and different repair and then paint buildings.

1304
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:17,000
Well, I just think, you know, the public was so good in trusting us and passing measure V.

1305
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:23,000
We're other communities haven't been as fortunate, you know, to have the trust of their constituency.

1306
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:28,000
And we promised them full disclosure. And I want to make sure that we follow through with what we promised.

1307
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,000
It's very important.

1308
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Yes, Mary.

1309
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:36,000
Okay. Then with that, I would ask for emotion and a second for item number 13.

1310
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Motion from Councilmember Comstock, second from Councilmember Lucio, please vote.

1311
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:56,000
I am half says you can handle this.

1312
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:01,000
Item number 14, a word of contract, citywide janitorial services.

1313
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:09,000
This is to award a professional services contract with CCS facilities services from Orange County,

1314
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:23,000
coast to Mason, California for citywide janitorial services in the amount of 580,753 dollars and six cents with four additional one year options to renew.

1315
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:32,000
Staff reports has saved name provided by Parks and Facilities Manager Jeff Benson and our director of C.P. CSPR.

1316
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:35,000
So we are all those.

1317
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Good evening, Madam Mayor and members of the Council.

1318
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:49,000
Before this evening we have the award of a new janitorial contract to CCS facility services of coast to Mason for the 2526 fiscal year.

1319
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:56,000
For the past five years CCS facility services has provided citywide janitorial services.

1320
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:07,000
The existing contract expires on June 30 of 2025 and CCS has maintained a consistent and satisfactory level of cleanliness and service.

1321
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:16,000
The proposed new contract maintains existing services such as office, restroom and commentary cleaning,

1322
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:25,000
along with several new items added to the scope of work, including monthly declining of the Senior Center's Commercial Kitchen,

1323
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:33,000
additional day porter services at city hall and janitorial coverage for the former chief college bank building.

1324
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:42,000
Staff worked with the finance procurement division to pursue a piggyback agreement also known as a cooperative procurement agreement.

1325
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Using a recent competitive bid process for janitorial services done by the city of Rancho Cucumanga, which CCS was awarded.

1326
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:55,000
The same pricing and terms will apply.

1327
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:01,000
The sufficient funding is available in the fiscal year 2526 custodial maintenance budget.

1328
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:05,000
Staff recommends to award a professional services agreement.

1329
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Contract to CCS facility services Orange County in close to Mason California for citywide janitorial services in the amount of 580,000,

1330
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:21,000
seven hundred fifty three dollars and six cents.

1331
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:31,000
With four additional years, year options to renew and authorize the city manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the city.

1332
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:32,000
Thank you.

1333
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,000
I'm happy to answer any questions at this time.

1334
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Thank you, Jeff.

1335
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:40,000
Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the council on item number 14?

1336
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Seeing none council comments?

1337
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,000
Questions?

1338
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:48,000
Would entertain a motion in a second then?

1339
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Motion from Mayor Protem Burton.

1340
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Second from council member Lucio please vote.

1341
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:03,000
Item passage unanimously.

1342
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:09,000
Item number 15 amendment number five to professional services agreement with Kaplan Kirch.

1343
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:15,000
LLC for legal services approve amendment number five to the professional services agreement.

1344
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,000
For legal services with Kaplan Kirch.

1345
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,000
LLC in the amount of two hundred twenty thousand dollars.

1346
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:26,000
Staff reports as evening provided by our associate engineer Natalie Avela.

1347
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:29,000
And our director of public works.

1348
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:39,000
Good evening, Madam Mayor.

1349
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:45,000
Mayor Protem council members and members of the audience.

1350
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Tonight I will bring to you an overview historical timeline of how we arrived here today.

1351
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:55,000
Funding sources and next step for these legal service task.

1352
02:06:56,000 --> 02:07:05,000
The public works department is responsible for maintaining the city's groundwater well number 11.

1353
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:10,000
Located west of San Antonio Avenue and south of state route 60.

1354
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:21,000
This wall has been inactive since 2018 due to the presence of one two three TCP exceeding the maximum contaminant level in the groundwater produced by the well.

1355
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:28,000
As part of the effort to bring back the well back into production the city completed two projects.

1356
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:39,000
The east side water treatment facility expansion and well 11 raw water transmission line projects which were both completed by 2023.

1357
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:46,000
During the phase of the design the city had discussions with the regulatory agency responsible for public water systems.

1358
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:53,000
California state water resources control board division of drinking water otherwise known as DDW.

1359
02:07:53,000 --> 02:08:00,000
At which time the city was advised to test the groundwater from well number 11 for try.

1360
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:04,000
Chloro ethylene which is also known as TCE.

1361
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:11,000
Due to the concerns of a TCE contaminant bloom that may have reached the well.

1362
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Beginning in 2022 the city retained legal services from Kaplan Kersh.

1363
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:25,000
Their former procurement to identify potential remedies and initiate communication with general electric corporation.

1364
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Which was the responsible party for the TCE bloom.

1365
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:41,000
The recent action by Council just made earlier this evening to adopt the budget for the water services program includes the $220,000 for Kaplan Kersh.

1366
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:50,000
That Kim had mentioned to complete the additional legal services for the potential to recover these ongoing maintenance costs due to the bloom.

1367
02:08:50,000 --> 02:09:05,000
The total breakdown of legal services for this item is shown on the table and will result in a not to exceed contract amount of $310,000.

1368
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:15,000
Currently Kaplan Kersh LLC is working on behalf of the city to have continued communications with DDW and GE.

1369
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:26,000
Amendment number five is proposed to extend services for two years and requires this action to amend their contract.

1370
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:36,000
Therefore the city asks Council's approval for this amendment number five to the professional services agreement with Kaplan Kersh in the amount of the $220,000.

1371
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Bringing the total not to exceed contract amount to $310,000 for these continued legal services in this concludes my report and I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have.

1372
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:55,000
Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address the Council on item number 15.

1373
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Natalie, I have a question.

1374
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:04,000
The GE bloom, the GE facility that flat iron facility I think it was in Ontario.

1375
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:05,000
Correct.

1376
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Have that contamination?

1377
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:10,000
Wasn't that way up near mission and you clip?

1378
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Correct.

1379
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:18,000
There is a couple miles away from the actual well but it has migrated.

1380
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:23,000
The state water board is knowledgeable about this.

1381
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:32,000
They've required GE to have an implementation plan for cleanup and so over the past I believe nearly 30 years.

1382
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:38,000
They've been implementing portions to remedy the plume.

1383
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:42,000
Unfortunately it has continued to migrate.

1384
02:10:42,000 --> 02:11:02,000
Not at the rate at it would have if nothing was done but nevertheless has migrated and affected the well and we had discovered that like I mentioned in 2019 or so or 2020 when we were having those discussions to try to bring back the well into service.

1385
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Interesting because they have a treatment center and they have an injection well.

1386
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:07,000
Yes, correct.

1387
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:09,000
So they still haven't gotten a cleaner.

1388
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:10,000
It is still not cleaned.

1389
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:14,000
That's amazing because that's been ongoing for a long time.

1390
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:15,000
Wow.

1391
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:20,000
So now is GE going to be required to fix our will?

1392
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Well, those are the communications that we've been having.

1393
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:35,000
Kaplan Kirch has been instrumental in having that rapport with them and working alongside with their legal services to come to a settlement.

1394
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:44,000
But right now they've had open discussion in dialogue to help us get through our DDW permitting.

1395
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:48,000
Most importantly they have a proprietary model.

1396
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:57,000
We've investigated having to do the model ourselves and it's quite expensive so we've partnered with GE.

1397
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:07,000
DDW was supportive of that level of effort as well as the cleanup program from the state water board as well.

1398
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:13,000
So we've been in communication with various divisions of the water board and DDW.

1399
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:19,000
We've been working with GE and Kaplan Kirch has been that instrument to convey the information.

1400
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:23,000
And we are looking for some settlement of course.

1401
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:29,000
And that's why we've retained their services initially to help us with those ongoing maintenance costs.

1402
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Well, I would hope it wouldn't be a one time settlement.

1403
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:37,000
I would hope that whatever's been negotiated would be an ongoing treatment.

1404
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:42,000
It is and we've worked out an incremental cost.

1405
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:46,000
What we believe those maintenance impacts would be.

1406
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:52,000
So we've calculated those using our design team.

1407
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:57,000
Who built the treatment power extremely who designed the treatment plan at east side.

1408
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:05,000
So we've we've generated a service life if you will of what we could expect.

1409
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:08,000
To help us with those ongoing costs.

1410
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:15,000
Well, if they've treated this for 30 years and it's still migrating, I would say that that needs to be a very long term agreement.

1411
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:16,000
It is yes.

1412
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:17,000
Okay.

1413
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:18,000
Great.

1414
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:27,000
Can you remind me how long has this been shut down this well now since 2018.

1415
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:30,000
What kind of an impact has that had on our community?

1416
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:43,000
Well, that's a great question initially the city suffered some low pressures within that area because originally the well was capable of feeding right into our distribution system.

1417
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:49,000
So it helped bring about pretty adequate pressures.

1418
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:59,000
Once the well was turned off, I understand that there were some concerns that were brought to the city's attention with low pressures.

1419
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:13,000
We've done some improvements to help alleviate some of the pressures in that area and they are better, but they haven't returned to the level that they were prior.

1420
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:23,000
But yeah, there's there's been concerns that have been raised regarding just having that that well turned off for that reason.

1421
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:30,000
So all of those efforts that have been put into bringing that pressure back up on our end.

1422
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Can we go back and recover the costs as part of what's going on now with the legal system legal fees.

1423
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:39,000
Yes, that's a great question.

1424
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:46,000
And now we'll look into that to make sure that we've also considered those additional levels of efforts to bring the well back.

1425
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:57,000
And they have no time lying at this point as when they're going to be able to clean up that plume for the weekend get that well up and running again.

1426
02:14:57,000 --> 02:15:00,000
I'm not.

1427
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:13,000
Similar with what might be in their implementation plan if identifies a duration when the cleanup is anticipated to be completed by, but I can certainly follow up and provide you that information.

1428
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:22,000
I could add to that a little bit. Once the plume have a spread underground, it's very, very difficult to continue it back in.

1429
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:34,000
So only way to treat the water that has been spread beyond their sphere of influence, sphere of treatment, is whoever is pumping downstream have to treat it.

1430
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:38,000
Because once it spreads, it's the sphere gets bigger and bigger.

1431
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:49,000
So I've seen treatment plans operate over 30 years and it never gets cleaned up. It might decrease, but it's never, it doesn't go to zero.

1432
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:51,000
That's it.

1433
02:15:51,000 --> 02:16:05,000
And how many, how many wells do we currently have that are inactive as a result of some contaminants right now in the city of contaminants in general or specifically this contaminant that we're discussing general in general.

1434
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:10,000
I believe there's five.

1435
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:14,000
And are we working to resolve those issues right now as well?

1436
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:27,000
Yes, absolutely. So if you recall a couple about a month ago, we brought forward to you the state street project, which are going to be cleaning up two of the wells that I'm referring to as being offline due to contamination.

1437
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:29,000
While 11 is another.

1438
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:36,000
And then we have a couple of others that we're working right now on to also bring back.

1439
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:38,000
Thank you. I appreciate your efforts.

1440
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:39,000
Of course, thank you.

1441
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:42,000
Most of those are impacted by TCP 123 correct.

1442
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:45,000
That is correct. And the nitrates.

1443
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:46,000
Yeah.

1444
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:47,000
Okay.

1445
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:49,000
But questions or.

1446
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:52,000
But I guess from what they're saying, Mayor, what agent is said.

1447
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:59,000
In predicting the future, we'll have to anticipate that all our wells will be required to mitigate against this as well for the future.

1448
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:01,000
So that's going to be impactful.

1449
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:07,000
And they're looking at even more emerging contaminants with crazy, crazy levels.

1450
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:16,000
You can't even test for right now. So it's just going to get more and more expensive to provide the good quality drinking water.

1451
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:17,000
Okay.

1452
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Thank you very much.

1453
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:25,000
We need a motion in a second, please.

1454
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:27,000
Motion from Mayor Potembrton.

1455
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:31,000
Second from Councilmember Lucio, please vote.

1456
02:17:31,000 --> 02:17:33,000
Item passage unanimously.

1457
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:35,000
Item number 16.

1458
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Professionals Service is agreement for community facilities district program management and related services.

1459
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:45,000
This is to award an agreement to David.

1460
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,000
I think it's Towsick.

1461
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:57,000
And associates incorporated for $265,000 for the community facilities district program management and related services.

1462
02:17:57,000 --> 02:18:03,000
Our staff reports has evening will be provided by contracts and different administrators, Sylvia Romos,

1463
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:07,000
and Director of Public Works, Hygiene Lee.

1464
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:11,000
Good evening again, Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council.

1465
02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Public Works oversees the program management and construction administration of various public improvements associated with community facilities districts.

1466
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:24,000
For to ask CFDs and a development impact key program.

1467
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Currently the city consults with David Towsick and associates refer to as DTA for the review of various payment requests received from

1468
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:39,000
developers for public improvements paid for through CFD bond proceeds and or the different programs.

1469
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:44,000
The existing professional services agreement with DTA expires on June 30, 2025.

1470
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Consequently, staff prepared a request for proposal which was published on planet bits on February 27, 2025.

1471
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:56,000
The city received three proposals in response to the RFP.

1472
02:18:56,000 --> 02:19:04,000
The proposals were evaluated in ranked based on qualifications, references, proposal quality and cost.

1473
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:12,000
DTA has extensive knowledge of the city's programs and currently supports several ongoing projects to maintain continuity and to ensure timely delivery.

1474
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:21,000
Staff recommended continuing services with DTA as they ranked top firm following the evaluation process.

1475
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Therefore, staff's recommendation to the City Council to award a professional services agreement to DTA in the amount of $265,000.

1476
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:39,000
The initial term of the agreement is one year beginning July 1, 2025 with two additional one year extensions.

1477
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Lastly, all costs associated with this agreement are offset through bond proceeds collected through the CFD and the administration fee collected through the dip program.

1478
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:51,000
That concludes my report. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

1479
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:56,000
Thank you very much. Would anyone like to address Council another number 16?

1480
02:19:56,000 --> 02:19:59,000
Seeing none, Council comments, questions?

1481
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:02,000
Motion and a second, please.

1482
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:14,000
Motion from Council Member Constock, second from Council Member Flores, please vote.

1483
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:18,000
I don't have such an anonymously.

1484
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Okay, next item on the agenda is Mayor and Council report, child number 17.

1485
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:34,000
Community support fund, I always wait till the last month to put in my request, which I've done it again.

1486
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:43,000
You see the list in the report of all the organizations that I wish to donate money to.

1487
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:47,000
So, I would entertain a motion in a second, please, to approve the list.

1488
02:20:55,000 --> 02:21:00,000
Motion from Council Member Lucio, second from Council Member Flores, please vote.

1489
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:07,000
Item 17 has such an anonymously.

1490
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:09,000
My report.

1491
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:17,000
On Wednesday June 4th, I attended the Omnitrans and San Bernardino County Transpricvation Authority boards of directors.

1492
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:27,000
Thursday June 5th, along with Mayor Protem Burton and Council Member Flores, attended the employee recognition luncheon attended by over 350 employees.

1493
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:32,000
The theme is here was Western, which I thought was absolutely phenomenal.

1494
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:37,000
The committee did an wonderful job with the decorations and it was so unique to Chino.

1495
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:45,000
It was really fun. Employees received their 510, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 year pins.

1496
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:50,000
I received my 40 year pin and a beautiful glass sculpture.

1497
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:58,000
And I'd like to congratulate all the employees that received special recognition from their peers and other departments.

1498
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:03,000
It's always rewarding to see how well you all work together and acknowledge each other.

1499
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:11,000
Special, did she leave? No, she's still here. Special congratulations to Sherry, who's talking.

1500
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:23,000
Special congratulations to Sherry. She received, I think, three different recognition, which is pretty phenomenal.

1501
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:28,000
Congratulations, Sherry.

1502
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:33,000
And then attended the Chino Hills State of the City Address.

1503
02:22:33,000 --> 02:22:39,000
That was very well attended well done. Friday, June 6th, attended the Senior Center,

1504
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:42,000
June 5th, birthdays, Saturday, June 7th.

1505
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:47,000
I attended Boy Scout troop two of one's Eagle Scout Awards ceremony.

1506
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:56,000
Five boys received their Eagle Scout rank, Garrett Hayakawa, Andrew Xu, Chase Wills, Wilson, Mark Anthony Roberts,

1507
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:00,000
Junior Anne, Trent U. O'er, my grandson.

1508
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:11,000
Monday, June 9th, Mayor Potembrit and I conducted one community services, Parks Recreation Committee interview,

1509
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:15,000
and City Manager at Comstock, City Manager, oh my gosh.

1510
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:19,000
Councilmember, you just, Linda, you've been replaced.

1511
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:23,000
I put, say, I got more.

1512
02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:25,000
Oh, my goodness, six.

1513
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:29,000
Councilmember, Comstock, and I conducted three.

1514
02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Tuesday, June 10th, I attended our grandson Trent Ulo as Sea Scout Quartermasker Award ceremony.

1515
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:40,000
And we are so very proud of him.

1516
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:45,000
He has now earned the highest awards possible for Boy Scouts and Sea Scouts.

1517
02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:53,000
And we've found out that evening that of all the Boy Scouts, only 2% achieved Eagle Scout.

1518
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:59,000
And of the 2% only 1% of the 2% ever get quartermaster.

1519
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:02,000
So we are really, really proud of that young man.

1520
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:06,000
He's 17, he'll turn 18 in July.

1521
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:11,000
He wants to go into the Coast Guard and then he wants to retire after 20 years,

1522
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:13,000
and be a harbor master.

1523
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:15,000
He has this whole life planned out.

1524
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,000
That's incredible.

1525
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:17,000
It's 17.

1526
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:19,000
I didn't know what I was going to do.

1527
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:24,000
Wednesday, June 11th, that morning, I attended the mayor's prayer breakfast that evening.

1528
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:30,000
We held our state of the city address, which I believe was very, very successful.

1529
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:34,000
And I'm sure the rest of the council will provide additional details.

1530
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:35,000
I thought it wouldn't really well.

1531
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:36,000
Thank you.

1532
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:37,000
Thank you very much to staff.

1533
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:39,000
You guys did a phenomenal job.

1534
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:41,000
It was really nice.

1535
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:46,000
Thursday, June 12th, they attended the Omni-Trans admin and finance committee meeting and

1536
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:49,000
SPCTA transit, much valley committee.

1537
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:54,000
That afternoon, I attended the Inland Empire Utilities Agency,

1538
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Chino Basin Program, stakeholder workshop, which I don't know how to do.

1539
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:04,000
I don't know if they really clarified much with that either.

1540
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:10,000
Monday, June 16th, yesterday participated in a teams meeting with Chino Postmaster Fernando

1541
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:15,000
Guzman, and I think we received some pretty positive information.

1542
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:22,000
Finally, they're going to analyze that post office and see if they can either make some modifications.

1543
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:26,000
If not, they may look for a new location.

1544
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:31,000
And if nothing else, they're going to look for possibly a satellite location down in the

1545
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:34,000
Preserve because they have grown so much.

1546
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:38,000
So maybe we'll finally get a nice post office.

1547
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:44,000
And then today, Council Member Comstock and I participated in the legislative committee meeting.

1548
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:47,000
And I have my one-on-one meeting with City Manager Reich.

1549
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:51,000
We had a close session and then our meeting tonight.

1550
02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:59,000
And then I have to publicly wish my dear husband a happy 50th wedding anniversary.

1551
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:02,000
We celebrate that Saturday.

1552
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:09,000
So can you imagine putting up with me for 50 years?

1553
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:11,000
I can't imagine either.

1554
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:14,000
He deserves the biggest trophy in the whole world.

1555
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:19,000
He is just the most amazing man in my whole time with him.

1556
02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:23,000
50 years, that man has never told me no.

1557
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:28,000
If there's anything I want to do or try or anything, he's always said if that's what you want to do.

1558
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:34,000
And that poor man, I mean, he's put up with dogs and chickens and horses and goats.

1559
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:37,000
And he's not even an animal die.

1560
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:42,000
But he just, I don't know, I'm just really, really blessed.

1561
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:44,000
And he's put up with a lot from 50 years.

1562
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:48,000
So if you ever seen just, you know, patting on the back and telling him,

1563
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:52,000
hang in there, we've got probably another 50 to go.

1564
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:53,000
Right?

1565
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:54,000
And that's my report.

1566
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:56,000
My report, Timber.

1567
02:26:58,000 --> 02:26:59,000
You're right.

1568
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:01,000
Thank you, Mayor.

1569
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:07,000
And June 4th, I took a tour of the Yorbus Slaughter Adobe down on the south side of the city,

1570
02:27:07,000 --> 02:27:17,000
with members of the San Bernardino County ZM system as well as our staff and the historical society.

1571
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:22,000
On the fifth, I also attended the Employee Recognition Luncheon.

1572
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:27,000
After that, I attended the Chino Basin Disalter Authority Board meeting.

1573
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:32,000
And then headed down south to the United Bar Utilities Agency Board meeting.

1574
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:37,000
And then ended my day with the Chino Hills State of the City address.

1575
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:46,000
On the sixth, I attended the South Coast AQMD Board meeting with Deputy City Manager.

1576
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:48,000
Vivienne.

1577
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:56,000
And to oppose 11, 11, 11, 11, 21, on behalf of the City of Chino.

1578
02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:03,000
And by the way, there were hundreds of people there in in in mids.

1579
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:10,000
And they reduced our time for one minute that we could speak down to 45 seconds.

1580
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:15,000
And it's very difficult for me to speak quickly as it is.

1581
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:18,000
And a lot of these people will attest to that.

1582
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:21,000
But I'll tell you, I think I got it down to 45 seconds.

1583
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:23,000
And I did pretty well.

1584
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Believe it or not.

1585
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:32,000
On the ninth, I participated in Community Service Parks and Recreation Commission interviews with the mayor.

1586
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:35,000
And then my one-on-one with the City Manager.

1587
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:39,000
On the 11th, I attended the E-Mairs Prep Breakfast.

1588
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:44,000
And then attended the City Council Special Meeting with the rest of the council.

1589
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:50,000
And then attended our State of the City down at the Plains of Fame, which was very, very nice.

1590
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:54,000
On the 12th, I attended the Inland Empire Utilities Workshop.

1591
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:58,000
And then I went to the concerts on the lawn.

1592
02:28:58,000 --> 02:29:01,000
The co-honest concerts on the lawn with my wife.

1593
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:07,000
We enjoyed these smooth sounds of Santana, which is a Santana tribute band.

1594
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:12,000
And it was really, really nice and very well attended.

1595
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:17,000
If you have a chance to attend these concerts on Thursday evenings here at City Hall,

1596
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:18,000
do it.

1597
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:22,000
It's a very family-friendly, fun event.

1598
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:23,000
It's free.

1599
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:25,000
And you can't meet it.

1600
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:26,000
It's great entertainment.

1601
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:28,000
Please come out.

1602
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:31,000
On Thursday, I'm sorry, on the 13th.

1603
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:37,000
I attended the Water Facility Tour with a geologist, myself, and agent.

1604
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:39,000
Andy Malone.

1605
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:43,000
I didn't realize we had some instruments located down at I.A.A.

1606
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:51,000
Park that measured the subsistence, subsidence within our community.

1607
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:58,000
As a result of over pumping years ago from cities that I won't mention right now.

1608
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:00,000
But they were...

1609
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:29,000
We're able to get a handle on it, and they've got these really intense intricate instruments down there at I.L.A. Park, just south of the softballs for fields, that you just can't imagine. What it measures, but anyway, it's pretty cool. And I appreciate it any more long coming out and helping us out with that. On the 16th, I had my one-on-one with the city manager, and then I attended the Cultural Arts Foundation meeting.

1610
02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:40,000
And I would like to thank Bob Nigg and Daniel Madrono for their comments tonight regarding the Eden Project.

1611
02:30:40,000 --> 02:30:54,000
You know, people are not going to agree all the time on things, and we just have to agree to disagree on a lot of issues, but I do appreciate Bob Nigg and what he had to say and Daniel for coming out.

1612
02:30:54,000 --> 02:31:04,000
Which leads me and I'm really sorry that our local newspaper media person left, which doesn't surprise me.

1613
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:22,000
But as a reminder, I would encourage everyone to go to our fact page. The city has a fact page that will tell you what a myth is that's being circulated on social media as well as our local newspaper.

1614
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:32,000
And then it will tell you what the facts are. So please do not believe everything you read on social media and in our local newspaper.

1615
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:47,000
Good horror fact page. And you'll get the information. If it doesn't make sense, please call. Because I guarantee there will be somebody here that will explain it to you and you'll have a full understanding.

1616
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:55,000
And then finally, Mayor, I want to say happy anniversary to you and Bob. I think it's awesome 50 years is a long, long time.

1617
02:31:55,000 --> 02:32:05,000
And I just think it's awesome and one of the blessing that you're able to share that time together. So that concludes my report.

1618
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:15,000
Thank you, Mayor. I'm Monday June 9th. I attended my weekly one-on-one with the city manager. And then as you stated earlier, Mayor, I conducted community services parks and recreation interviews with you.

1619
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:24,000
It was a good group of candidates. And I want to thank everybody who applied and congratulations to those that were either reappointed or selected.

1620
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:38,000
On June 10th, I attended a meeting with staff and a local business owner regarding some business concerns in the area of East End and Philadelphia Avenue.

1621
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:52,000
On June 11th, I attended the state of the city at the Plains of Fame, which has already been covered tonight. The only thing I would like to add in addition to thank you to our staff and job well done is just congratulations to the spirit of achievement winner, which is central basketball.

1622
02:32:52,000 --> 02:33:04,000
As well as the businesses of the year to Dr. Hill and his veterinary clinic, as well as to Hoddan Jersmeets. That was a great evening, Mayor. You did a great job and so to those staff. So thank you to everybody for that evening.

1623
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:14,000
On June 16th, I attended my weekly meeting with the city manager. And that brings me to today. I attended the legislative policy meeting with the mayor and our staff, which has already been covered.

1624
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:28,000
Close session after our legislative policy meeting. And just congratulations as well to those that was a nice award presented tonight by the Area D coordinator for the cert members.

1625
02:33:28,000 --> 02:33:34,000
I was out of town on vacation, which is why I missed the meeting earlier in the month, but more importantly,

1626
02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:50,000
I'm not going to be equally important as I did miss a couple of memorial ceremonies in that of Joe Fraga and Judge Junquist. I just wanted to extend my apologies for missing and my, again, my sympathy both are family.

1627
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:58,000
Mayor also happy anniversary that's a great milestone. A lot of people won't reach it any longer. I'm looking forward to celebrating with you this weekend.

1628
02:33:58,000 --> 02:34:05,000
Last thing I'd like to add is that council member Burton myself or traveling to Sacramento tomorrow morning.

1629
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:14,000
Along overdue inspection and audit of the California Institute for men is on the consent calendar in the state assembly.

1630
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:23,000
So we're hoping to go up there that that item doesn't get pulled into this past and we can look forward to a proper review of the operating conditions over at CIM.

1631
02:34:23,000 --> 02:34:35,000
I just want the employees of CIM to know as well that we are wanting that audit to be done so that we can hopefully appropriately fund and make corrections to an institution as long overdue for its fair share of funding.

1632
02:34:35,000 --> 02:34:45,000
As a matter of working and conditions for the people worked down there for the inmate population that is housed on there as and most importantly to community and public safety.

1633
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:50,000
So look forward to traveling with you tomorrow to Sacramento court and that concludes my report, Mayor.

1634
02:34:50,000 --> 02:35:03,000
Council member Flores. Yes, thank you, Mayor. Mayor, I think I'm going to for a go a lot of just my reports tonight, but a couple of things I do want to share is number one happy belated fathers days while the fathers out there.

1635
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:08,000
And we, not we, but you guys get overlooked a lot and down so I just want to put that out there.

1636
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:18,000
I drove by many restaurants and a lot of them weren't as full as a mother's day, but that's okay. You guys are definitely appreciate it because we were on the grill.

1637
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:32,000
To the better that it's family again, congratulations to you know your hard work and just you know a lot of what you sowed in the city and continue to sow it is you know being recognized in your spirit of achieving a work.

1638
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:36,000
And Mayor, congratulations 50 years and I will add.

1639
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:48,000
I don't think it's true that he says yes to everything because there's been a couple of fundraisers I've been to and when he's buying those raffle tickets and you guys are deciding what you know where to put those raffle tickets and what prices.

1640
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:52,000
He knows where to put them and he's told you to know in a couple of items and he's been right.

1641
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:55,000
So Bob happy fathers day to you as well.

1642
02:35:55,000 --> 02:35:58,000
Thank you, Mayor, I can conclude my call.

1643
02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:09,000
I do I'm going to forego my report I'm just going to wish you happy anniversary 50 years is a great accomplishment I hope to achieve that as well.

1644
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:14,000
And I just want to end with wishing my my wife happy birthday birthday is going to be on the 30th.

1645
02:36:15,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Thank you Mayor members of the council I'll be quick because I see us trying to get out of here but I just wanted to thank our team over the last two months we've had a lot of.

1646
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:39,000
I'll say heavy lifts so we had the state of the city we had the employee lunch and getting past our budget and our budget workshop and our user fees that was a lot of work for our team and they work really hard.

1647
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:48,000
And I want to thank the council for your you know passing those items tonight but also your insight to make sure that we're on track with with what you really want us to do.

1648
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:54,000
And second I just want to thank you all for your participation in the state of the city and the video you all did a fantastic job.

1649
02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:58,000
I think we really had the opportunity and we highlighted what a fantastic place.

1650
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:04,000
Chinoez to live and to work into play and that's it for tonight Mayor city attorney galante.

1651
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:14,000
Thank you I would agree about the state of the city it does make you proud and watching it and everybody did a great job just a short comment about.

1652
02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:27,000
Some of the testimony that was presented today on the Eden project it's not that I don't have responses it's the time to respond is not now but I do have corrections and.

1653
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:39,000
Some responses to the statements that were made those will be appropriately made during the appeal of that matter that has been appealed to the city council so.

1654
02:37:39,000 --> 02:37:43,000
That's when I will be free to respond to the comments.

1655
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:45,000
Thank you.

1656
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:51,000
And where is Kevin.

1657
02:37:52,000 --> 02:37:54,000
He's waiting for him.

1658
02:37:54,000 --> 02:37:57,000
I am a stand-in this evening at a mayor.

1659
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:59,000
He is up at Sacramento having.

1660
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:00,000
He went up early.

1661
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:04,000
The staff to stay happily he had meetings today and he will be meeting tomorrow as well.

1662
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:05,000
Okay.

1663
02:38:05,000 --> 02:38:06,000
For the J like this.

1664
02:38:06,000 --> 02:38:08,000
So the council members up there as well.

1665
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:13,000
So but he does said his greetings have been in contact with them several times throughout the day so.

1666
02:38:13,000 --> 02:38:16,000
Good evening Madam Mayor and council members.

1667
02:38:17,000 --> 02:38:24,000
I like to address the recent concerns regarding the involvement of our local police department with federal immigration.

1668
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:25,000
Operations.

1669
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:31,000
I want to make it clear that our department does not participate in immigration enforcement or ice operations.

1670
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:38,000
This is guided by both our internal policy and Senate bill 54 which is the California values act.

1671
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:45,000
Both our policy and SB 54 limits local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

1672
02:38:45,000 --> 02:38:48,000
The general place permit strictly adherence to this law.

1673
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:56,000
We've done some training recently and refreshed our officers understanding of what their expectations are for policy and the law.

1674
02:38:56,000 --> 02:38:59,000
Officers committed to helping our community.

1675
02:38:59,000 --> 02:39:06,000
Up holding the law with fairness professionalism and respect for all members of the community regardless of their immigration status.

1676
02:39:06,000 --> 02:39:11,000
Our priority is and always will be to keep Chino safe.

1677
02:39:12,000 --> 02:39:22,000
While we do not engage in immigration enforcement we may respond to assess other law enforcement agencies in the event of emergency situation for officer safety.

1678
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:29,000
Or an immediate at risk such as during attack or a life threatening emergency we're going to help our law enforcement partners.

1679
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:32,000
If their lives are in jeopardy.

1680
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:38,000
We want to assure the Council on our community that the safety and well-being of every resident remains our top priority.

1681
02:39:38,000 --> 02:39:42,000
And we are committed to serving everyone in the Chino community.

1682
02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:46,000
So sorry our comments for tonight and things have been busy.

1683
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:51,000
Obviously in the long first of year I'm very thankful that our community is safe.

1684
02:39:51,000 --> 02:39:56,000
And we're working obviously to continue to keep our city safe.

1685
02:39:56,000 --> 02:39:57,000
Thank you madam.

1686
02:39:57,000 --> 02:40:05,000
That an incident in our neighborhood where there was a gentleman acting in a bizarre way walking down the street.

1687
02:40:05,000 --> 02:40:15,000
So had an opportunity to call in and ask them to check him out and gosh the response was not immediate but very very quick.

1688
02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:23,000
I don't know how it was resolved they didn't tell me but I appreciate the response because this man was acting very strange.

1689
02:40:23,000 --> 02:40:31,000
Yeah unfortunately we continue to see those types of incidents on the rise but obviously our commitment is to be out there and when you call we come.

1690
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:37,000
Yeah it's best if I can if I can say a couple of things captain Corley.

1691
02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:43,000
You know the police department oftentimes are bombarded with negative comments.

1692
02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:49,000
I want you to know that this Council supports our police department 100%.

1693
02:40:49,000 --> 02:41:01,000
I think you know that but if somebody's life is in jeopardy I would expect our police officers to respond to that situation.

1694
02:41:01,000 --> 02:41:11,000
Whether it is minimal is it may be if somebody's getting hurt somebody's out there that there's a potential for any kind of injury.

1695
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:18,000
I expect our officers to be out there and to be able to provide that safety as necessary.

1696
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:28,000
You're backed up by your Council we expect that of you and more than anything else we appreciate you and the work that the general police department does for our community.

1697
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:29,000
Thank you.

1698
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:30,000
Thank you.

1699
02:41:30,000 --> 02:41:32,000
So I'll make sure I pass on your comments to our officers.

1700
02:41:32,000 --> 02:41:34,000
I have one more comment there.

1701
02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:35,000
Yes.

1702
02:41:35,000 --> 02:41:36,000
Captain thank you.

1703
02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:45,000
I'd also you probably took note of the fact of Chief Vincent's interview with the champion regarding the enhancement of regarding the investigation with the.

1704
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:47,000
Miss Ken Kenos.

1705
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:48,000
How are you pronounced on him?

1706
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:49,000
I can.

1707
02:41:49,000 --> 02:41:50,000
Cano.

1708
02:41:50,000 --> 02:41:51,000
Yes.

1709
02:41:51,000 --> 02:41:54,000
So again, thank you for all the departments work not just with the fundraiser and supporting your family.

1710
02:41:54,000 --> 02:42:01,000
But also the critical look that hopefully we're taking with the DA and the state and looking at enhancing.

1711
02:42:01,000 --> 02:42:05,000
The punishment for these types of crimes and how devastating they are.

1712
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:09,000
To not just the the cano family but to our entire community up and down the state.

1713
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:13,000
And I just want to echo the sentiments of obviously Councilmember Burton.

1714
02:42:13,000 --> 02:42:18,000
We live in a great community we're grateful for our police department and I too.

1715
02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:21,000
You know.

1716
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:23,000
The statement that you made tonight's you know.

1717
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:27,000
Perfect and accurate but also there's something we're happening to any local law enforcement entity.

1718
02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:30,000
We would expect for the chief police department to be there to assist them in their mission.

1719
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:36,000
So thank you for for standing solid on that and explaining that this evening and keeping our community safe.

1720
02:42:36,000 --> 02:42:37,000
Thank you.

1721
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:44,000
So the things that chief medicine has made part of his mission is goals to make sure that we can do everything that we can.

1722
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:50,000
To make sure we get good legislation and be able to have good influence in our state capital.

1723
02:42:50,000 --> 02:43:00,000
And obviously being there yesterday and today it's just an example of his commitment to making sure that the laws that are being passed are are good laws.

1724
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:01,000
Thank you very much.

1725
02:43:01,000 --> 02:43:02,000
Thank you.

1726
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:04,000
Do I have to report course.

1727
02:43:05,000 --> 02:43:07,000
This is a quick one.

1728
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:10,000
Good evening Mayor and members of the Council.

1729
02:43:10,000 --> 02:43:17,000
Every year around this time we produce a consumer conference report regarding our water quality.

1730
02:43:17,000 --> 02:43:26,000
So we are in the process of publishing that and we will be available in all of our public buildings and also it will be published on our website.

1731
02:43:26,000 --> 02:43:33,000
So we have excellent water quality and we have our water operators to an excellent job making sure that our water system.

1732
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:39,000
Our water system is protected from any even cross connections and such.

1733
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:42,000
So rest assured that our water system is safe.

1734
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:50,000
When you look at our consumer conference report there is a section this year regarding lead based.

1735
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:55,000
Lead based services or sometimes it could be.

1736
02:43:56,000 --> 02:44:01,000
Or other type of metal and sometimes they reach.

1737
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:03,000
What metal into the.

1738
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:11,000
Plumbing back into the homes and if you suspect that the water quality inside the home may not be.

1739
02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:14,000
Cosure and every three years we do lead.

1740
02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:24,000
Lead copper lead and copper rule testing so if they suspect that their water quality inside is not.

1741
02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:33,000
They have some suspicions they could volunteer to be one of the water quality sample provider so we could test that.

1742
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:40,000
So that happens every three years and I think we just collected them last year so you might come around in the next couple years.

1743
02:44:40,000 --> 02:44:45,000
So but I just want to assure everybody that our water quality is an excellent.

1744
02:44:45,000 --> 02:44:47,000
Thank you very much.

1745
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:51,000
And I kept and quarterly I've been into six different agencies.

1746
02:44:51,000 --> 02:44:55,000
I have to say Chino PD is the best.

1747
02:44:55,000 --> 02:44:57,000
We know that.

1748
02:44:57,000 --> 02:44:59,000
Thank you.

1749
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:13,000
Good evening, Mayor and City Council. I just wanted to share that we have selected to be our deputy director for our department.

1750
02:45:13,000 --> 02:45:28,000
Effectively, he'll start on Monday. So Ted has been with us now 10 years as our community is responsible as a city, as our manager and has been in our field for 25 years.

1751
02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:34,000
We're excited to have a measure of deputy director. Congratulations, Ted.

1752
02:45:35,000 --> 02:45:52,000
You're on excited and honored for the opportunity and just, sorry, I'm extremely honored and excited about this opportunity and beyond, I can't even say, I'm a tongue-tied and think I was going to say, but look really looking forward to serving our community in a new capacity.

1753
02:45:52,000 --> 02:46:02,000
Thank you all very much.

1754
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:07,000
I appreciate it. Thank you.

1755
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:18,000
The Italian chief Dean Smith. And where is your chief?

1756
02:46:18,000 --> 02:46:31,000
Where is our chief? He's at a much deserved vacation with his family back east. Certainly he does extend his wishes to be here tonight, but I will stand in his presence. So thankful to be here.

1757
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:49,000
I don't know how you did it, but we are super thankful first off to say that you would allow us to introduce our newest firefighter paramedics, those seven members to bring us to a staffing of 111 members to serve this community.

1758
02:46:49,000 --> 02:46:56,000
Thank you. That's an honor for them to be here, to meet you all, to meet our community. That's an honor for us to have them. So thank you for that.

1759
02:46:56,000 --> 02:47:09,000
And then two other items real quickly to bring to your attention. Something that's very momentous for us as a fire district. We did approve the bid contract for construction for station 68.

1760
02:47:09,000 --> 02:47:18,000
We've talked about that in the past. So we are thankful. We should see that ground being broken officially with tractors this time and not golden shovels.

1761
02:47:18,000 --> 02:47:26,000
But hopefully within the next 30 days or so. So we are very excited to bring that station on board. It'll serve both communities of the Chino and Chino Hills.

1762
02:47:26,000 --> 02:47:36,000
And then last we did take delivery of what's called an arth. If you're not familiar with that term, that's an aircraft rescue and firefighting apparatus.

1763
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:49,000
So we took that delivery. It's a joint venture between the fire district and the county of San Bernardino to be able to have adjunct apparatus to serve the airport for crashes there at the airport or off airport.

1764
02:47:49,000 --> 02:47:58,000
And so we are outfitting that apparatus. At this point, it is something that's going to greatly improve our ability to respond to those types of incidents.

1765
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:13,000
We hope to be able to bring that into full service in the next 60 days. So we're excited about that and working with our partners at both Ontario International Airport in the San Bernardino County airports to be able to train our staff as well.

1766
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:25,000
So we're really excited about that. But two brief comments of two momentous things that the fire district has just celebrated. So thank you very much. Thank you for allowing us to be here and step in for day.

1767
02:48:25,000 --> 02:48:27,000
I have a question here.

1768
02:48:27,000 --> 02:48:43,000
Her group, JCSD, her group of services community district has invested in helicopter and these tanks that are placed in strategic areas where it can help with firefighting.

1769
02:48:43,000 --> 02:48:46,000
Have you guys looked into anything like that at all?

1770
02:48:46,000 --> 02:49:00,000
Yeah, we have. Actually, we do have two helicopter heliadrants. I think you're referring to and those are activated by radio interface from our helicopters or firefighting helicopters that are in the area. They do open and flood.

1771
02:49:01,000 --> 02:49:10,000
A sister, essentially, that's underneath the ground and allows for the rotor wing helicopters to be able to draft out of those.

1772
02:49:10,000 --> 02:49:16,000
It's all secure from the public as far as drowning in things like that. So it's all secure with fencing and then doors and so forth.

1773
02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:32,000
We do have two up in the Geno Hills. One of our closest ones is a near where the Blue Ridge incident was in 2020. That was operational. In fact, we just drafted out of that at a fire in the Geno Hills State Park just about two weeks ago.

1774
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:41,000
So they work great. We have two along the, if you will, the Chino Hills area, the R in Orange County. We have looked at them.

1775
02:49:41,000 --> 02:49:52,000
It's, it would be, it would be a large endeavor for us to do, but certainly we could do that maybe with a, as a joint initiative or something like that with some grant funding.

1776
02:49:52,000 --> 02:49:57,000
But certainly, we are surrounded well in our community in the hills that surrounds.

1777
02:49:57,000 --> 02:50:09,000
That's a, you know, it's a pretty impressive system. It's incredible. He had a, you need to ask to see that video. There was a video of how quickly those systems can fill up helicopter comes in.

1778
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:11,000
It's just, it's pretty incredible.

1779
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:20,000
Yeah, it works really well. Like I said, we had, I know fewer than 20 return trips by helicopters, including the helicopter that you see down the street from Calvire,

1780
02:50:20,000 --> 02:50:25,000
Copper 609, about two or three weeks ago on our fire in the State Park. So, yeah.

1781
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:28,000
That's not the way that we had that. Great. Sorry.

1782
02:50:28,000 --> 02:50:31,000
Wasn't aware that we have that. Thank you very much.

1783
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:32,000
Thank you.

1784
02:50:32,000 --> 02:50:40,000
Okay. With that then, we are adjourned to our next regular meeting, which will be held on July 1st, six o'clock with closed sessions starting now,

1785
02:50:40,000 --> 02:50:43,000
further than four if necessary.

1786
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:45,000
We are adjourned.

1787
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:12,000
Thank you.

1788
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:42,000
Thank you.

1789
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:39,000
From the parks where we gather to the streets we drive.

1790
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:45,000
Every part of our city is reaching new heights. The work we've done, the progress we've made.

1791
02:52:45,000 --> 02:52:52,000
It's all preparing us for what's next. In Chino, we don't stand still. We move forward.

1792
02:52:52,000 --> 02:52:59,000
And now, with a strong foundation and momentum on our side, Chino is ready for takeoff.

1793
02:52:59,000 --> 02:53:05,000
Chino is a place where families put down roots, businesses thrive and neighbors support one another.

1794
02:53:05,000 --> 02:53:20,000
Over the past year, we've strengthened our city, expanded opportunities and laid the groundwork for an even brighter future.

1795
02:53:20,000 --> 02:53:25,000
In Chino, we believe a promise made is a promise kept.

1796
02:53:25,000 --> 02:53:34,000
When the residents of Chino voted to pass Measure B, they placed their trust in a vision for a safer, stronger and more connected city.

1797
02:53:34,000 --> 02:53:42,000
That trust has been honored with meaningful investments that are shaping the Chino of today and preparing us for the future.

1798
02:53:42,000 --> 02:53:46,000
Chino's success has always been built on our community.

1799
02:53:46,000 --> 02:53:52,000
Thanks to the support of our residents, Measure B is delivering real visible improvements.

1800
02:53:52,000 --> 02:54:00,000
Investments you can see and feel in your neighborhoods on your streets and in the places where we gather as a community.

1801
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:13,000
Measure B has strengthened public safety by expanding resources, increasing enforcement, and improving response times ensuring that Chino remains a place where families and businesses feel secure.

1802
02:54:13,000 --> 02:54:22,000
Retail theft union. Launched in June, this specialized team has already reduced retail theft by 10%.

1803
02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:33,000
School resource officer expansion, providing an additional officer dedicated to junior high schools, strengthening security for students and educators.

1804
02:54:33,000 --> 02:54:38,000
We made a commitment to safeguarding our residents and we're delivering on that.
