call

2
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,319
listen

5
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:34,080
all right we go to the burns valley
development project workshop

6
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,319
mr flora to
start off this

7
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,319
yeah so um

8
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:43,920
so this is going to be kind of in two
parts we're going to start

9
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,840
by introducing
um

10
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,519
brian whitmore who's with studio w
architects and so

11
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:54,879
the city of clear lake the city of
lakeport and the county of lake over the

12
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,640
last
well quite a few months have been

13
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:05,680
working with
brian's team on developing a recreation

14
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:10,319
feasibility study for the entire county
so um

15
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,720
this is the first of the presentations
to the governmental agencies about this

16
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,040
report so you're the first to see it and
then

17
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,959
hopefully we have some time at the end
to kind of go over

18
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,519
the draft site plan that we've been
working with the burns valley sports

19
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:30,840
complex committee on
so with that i'd like to turn over to to

20
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:35,760
brian and michael to go over the
plan well good evening everyone i'm

21
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,319
brian whitmore i'm with studio w
architects can you hear me okay this

22
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,120
evening
yes

23
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,680
wonderful yes okay
i'm joined here this evening by uh mike

24

gelato mike is with shellato training
and consulting mike you want to give a

25
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,879
just a brief
introduction yourself

26
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,799
sure um
i retired from the city of roseville in

27
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,760
2010 i'm in the last year or so i was
serving the city manager but prior to

28
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,760
that most of my career was either as the
director of parks recreation libraries

29
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,920
or assistant city manager still doing
parks recreational library so

30
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:18,720
um since retiring i worked with a number
of jurisdictions on feasibility studies

31
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:23,040
operational analysis strategic plans
have a lot of familiarity working with

32
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:27,280
both aquatic centers and recreation
centers not only in my city with the

33
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,960
city of roosevelt but in the agencies
i've worked with subsequently

34
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,759
then i see dennis has joined us as well
from aquatic design group dennis you

35
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,280
want to give a brief introduction to
yourself

36
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,280
thanks brian yes good evening
hi i'm dennis berkshire with aquatic

37
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:50,560
design group aquatic design group is an
architectural engineering firm that

38
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:56,560
specializes in public recreational water
systems and and facilities

39
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,720
we've been in practice since 1984 and
and have designed more than

40
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:08,080
3 500
facilities across the us through

41
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,080
42 states and 24 countries

42
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:16,800
great i'm gonna share my screen here and
hopefully you folks can see this okay

43
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,360
can you see my screen
yeah all right

44
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,360
so we we have a presentation here i just
wanted to share with you our three

45
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:29,680
entities studio w architects aquatic
design group enchilada training and

46
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:34,400
consulting are the consultants that put
together uh this report uh this is a

47
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:39,039
high level overview of the report the
report itself at least for phase one we

48
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,840
have a two part phase one and phase two
component

49
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,360
to the study
we were

50
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,080
given the green light to move forward on
phase one

51
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,479
which includes some of the items here
i'll go through today

52
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,639
but we will offer that report for
everybody for review uh following this

53
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:00,880
presentation this is the first by the
way of three presentations that we

54
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,600
expect to give both to you folks at the
city of clear lake uh the city of

55
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,360
lakeport and also lake county
so the agenda here this evening we're

56
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,840
going to talk briefly about the purpose
and the process that we embarked on

57
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:17,680
for phase one
we've identified a number of partners

58
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,960
that is
known throughout the report as the lake

59
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,639
county recreation task force and then
also other resources

60
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:29,520
that were available
we went through some programming with

61
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:33,360
that team to identify some of the needs
both for recreational facility and an

62
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,120
aquatics facility
now i will mention that there was some

63
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,680
difference between sort of the interests
uh on aquatics as it relates to sort of

64
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,880
lakeport and the rest of the county
versus the city of or the area of clear

65
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:47,919
lake
and we'll talk about that in this

66
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:53,840
presentation
we did some very high level capital cost

67
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:58,400
estimates and also cost recovery trends
we looked at various management

68
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,520
structures how a recreation center or
aquatic center of this kind might be

69
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,160
managed
funding opportunities that exist and

70
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:11,680
project location opportunities that
exist and we'll talk about next steps

71
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:14,880
so the purpose of the phase one study
was really to explore the feasibility of

72
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,319
a recreation
and or aquatic center in lake county

73
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:25,199
identify the marketability of the
facility that is its need identify

74
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:30,240
programmatic features such as
to identify its capital costs and and

75
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,160
potential cost recovery and then
identifying management structure funding

76
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:39,840
and location opportunities
the process began on march 24th

77
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:44,880
we held regular meetings with a large
contingent of what we're considering

78
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,800
that lake county recreation task force
we facilitate facilitated tight site

79
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:55,039
tours
on april 13th so we toured multiple

80
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:59,759
sites both in clear lake and in lakeport
so throughout the county

81
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,840
we schedule presentations tonight and we
have subsequent presentations for the

82
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:09,680
city of lakeport on august 3rd and
august 10th up for the county of lake

83
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,000
uh these were the partners that were
identified and actually

84
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,879
the task force had done a pretty good
job of putting these folks together even

85
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:22,879
prior to when we got selected
so from a local government agency

86
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:27,599
standpoint we have lake county city of
lakeport city of clear lake and lake

87
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,360
county office of education
the school districts included lakeport

88
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:36,479
unified school district connected
unified school district

89
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:40,399
upper lake unified mendocino college and
woodland community college now some of

90
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:45,600
these folks were very active in the
process and offered a lot of information

91
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,800
some of these folks were simply on the
email list

92
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,760
and were provided information as we went
through the process

93
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,200
but certainly these could be considered
partners especially when we start to

94
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,760
look at funding opportunities
and other mechanisms of joint use or

95
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:03,200
other capacities we move forward
some of the local community

96
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,640
organizations that we're identifying
include first five of lake county

97
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:13,600
lake family resource center the lake
county channel cats this is sort of the

98
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:17,040
local aquatics team
hope rising

99
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,279
the west side park committee which is
the committee focused on the westside

100
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:26,320
park area of lakeport
redwood community services

101
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,680
we also identified healthcare providers
we see a lot of healthcare organizations

102
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,279
becoming involved with recreation
aquatics facilities across the state

103
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,000
and you have a number of them here
locally sutter health adventist health

104
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:41,839
and also tribal health
and one of the things that we identified

105
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:45,120
although they weren't involved at the
task force level

106
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,519
were some of the additional resources
that could be lent from some of the

107
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:51,440
tribes
that are identified here

108
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,920
and so we tried to identify all of the
local tribes

109
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,800
that have at least some some hand in the
lake county region

110
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:05,040
part of the process that we went through
was trying to identify a program really

111
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:10,640
identify what were the needs when you
start to identify recreational uses and

112
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:14,800
also aquatic uses across the county
and this

113
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,279
spreadsheet identifies at least for the
recreational center

114
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:24,560
some of the items that came up
so some sort of large multi-use indoor

115
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,920
court type of facility so for basketball
and volleyball

116
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,760
would probably have maybe an 84 by 50
main court

117
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:36,399
cross courts those sorts of things
racquetball courts

118
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:40,640
cardio and weights area
some sort of training rooms

119
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,399
either for
yoga other sort of specialized classes

120
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,279
those kinds of things
perhaps a game area a billiards

121
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,720
other sorts of smaller games those kinds
of things card room

122
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,680
other elements that bring
folks from a variety of different age

123
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,200
groups
to a recreational center

124
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:03,760
obviously we have a lot of support types
of spaces restroom facilities entry

125
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:07,519
reception locker room type of facilities
custodial storage

126
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:12,000
equipment and circulation and so
generally speaking we looked at sort of

127
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:17,120
if we identify gross areas for these
kinds of things how big of a facility

128
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:21,839
might be we might we'd be looking at
and so what this dictates is right

129
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,279
around 15 000 square foot facility
which is not

130
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,160
insignificant in size but it's certainly
not

131
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:33,120
you know large by comparison to some of
the examples that we'll share with you a

132
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:33,120
little later in this presentation

133
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,480
likewise from the standpoint of aquatics
and i'll give dennis a opportunity to

134
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,000
jump in here but i'll just go through a
brief recap

135
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:46,000
we identified a variety of different
aquatic opportunities

136
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:48,560
and pool configurations we identified
four different

137
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,640
options
those options have

138
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,839
varying requirements when it comes to
both the bath house and support building

139
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:59,120
so obviously the larger the pool
facility

140
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,560
the larger the support facilities that
go along with that as well as the pool

141
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:08,320
deck area
this was option one this is a 4 800

142
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:14,720
an 80 square foot pool featuring a 75
foot long by 40 foot wide 45 foot wide

143
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,720
lap area with the teaching peninsula
the city of patterson is a good example

144
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:22,320
of a pool of this kind
and this was one of the options that was

145
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,519
looked at when we looked at sort of the
area need

146
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:31,200
necessary for a pool pool deck and bath
house and support of this kind of pool

147
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:36,399
by comparison option two
was around a 5700 square foot pool

148
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:40,720
featuring a 75 long by 75 foot wide lap
area for 10

149
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:45,360
25 yard lanes
yuba city gaucher park in yuba city was

150
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,959
the example a case study that we used
featuring this pool

151
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,360
in each one of these cases i'll mention
as well aquatic design group also put

152
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,480
together
cost information is related to

153
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,760
maintaining and operating these pools
not just capital costs and that's part

154
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:05,440
of the report
that we put together also

155
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:12,160
option three is a 5800 square foot
78 foot long by 45 foot wide lap area

156
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:17,600
for a nine lane um essentially a nine 25
yard lane with six feet of deep water uh

157
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:22,240
for various other forms of competition
this was the largest of the options and

158
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:26,000
consequently obviously the largest in
terms of pool deck area

159
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:29,839
and supporting area
this facility is currently designed as

160
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:35,120
part of north natomas community center
aquatics complex this is in sacramento

161
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,680
and this was a project uh that started
actually as a feasibility study back in

162
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:43,120
2014 that's currently under construction
um so it gives you a good idea of just

163
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,680
you know how many years in the process
there

164
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,160
that it took from sort of where we're at
today

165
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,639
to where they were able to build a
community center

166
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,800
and aquatic center
and then finally a fourth option a 3 500

167
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:02,560
square foot pool featuring a 75 foot
long by 45 foot wide lap area

168
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:06,399
for 6 25 yard lanes
this was the the smallest of the

169
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:11,839
configurations and therefore the
smallest in terms of its area need

170
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:15,920
we also identified spray ground there
was some desire of the ability that in

171
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:20,480
an aquatics program somewhere in lake
county to have uh not only just a single

172
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,279
body of water but perhaps a second body
of water that would allow for

173
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,880
uh playtime activities and activities
for smaller children that aren't yet

174
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,880
ready to swim
so this all of these options include a 2

175
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:38,000
000 square foot playgrounds essentially
50 by 4

176
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,519
parking is largely dictated by
the size of the pool the size of the

177
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,720
deck area obviously in the rec center
configuration

178
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:47,440
parking would be dictated solely by the
rec center

179
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:50,959
but we did identify the needs for
parking

180
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:55,519
and so based on sort of these very high
level programmatic needs

181
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:59,920
we looked at uh dollar per square foot
cost so costs ranging from the rec

182
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,440
center to probably somewhere around 500
a square foot

183
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:07,360
to the pool the spray ground the bath
house pool deck area the parking area

184
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,120
the site pool equipment and site
infrastructure

185
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,880
these costs range from anywhere from
about 14 to

186
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:19,360
maybe 15 or 16 million dollars in
construction we did add contingency we

187
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:24,480
did ad escalation for a number of years
trying to be conservative and then soft

188
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:29,120
costs at around 25 so what you see here
is that you know all the needs that were

189
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:34,320
sort of identified through this study
add up to somewhere around 22

190
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:39,199
21 to 22 million dollars
depending on the options and the

191
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:43,920
configurations that you look at
and then just by comparison and really

192
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,880
for the purposes of the city of clear
lake

193
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:50,880
because there wasn't maybe as much of a
desire for aquatics program

194
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,160
in the clear lake area
just looking at the potential of a

195
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:58,399
recreation center with its own parking
and site infrastructure you know

196
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,519
probably closer to the eight to nine
million dollars in construction 12

197
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:04,560
million dollars
in total project costs with soft costs

198
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,040
there
as well

199
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,800
cost recovery trends this was something
that mike shelton put together

200
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:16,320
based on understanding of similar
facility operation what we did was we

201
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,079
looked at a number of different
facilities

202
00:16:17,839 --> 00:16:23,600
most of these facilities are larger in
size than what was identified there you

203
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,519
can see
roseville sports center there is

204
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,800
probably the closest at 23 000 square
feet

205
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,399
mill valley community center and indoor
pool some of these are simply rec

206
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:40,160
centers some of them include rec centers
and pool facilities but what you see

207
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:43,360
there is a range of cost recovery
the cd star community center and indoor

208
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:47,839
pool
being probably the worst in terms of

209
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,680
cost recovery at about 37
and then

210
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:56,560
the incline village recreation center an
indoor pool there in nevada on the north

211
00:16:54,639 --> 00:17:01,199
side of lake tahoe being one of the best
at 102

212
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:04,400
but what you see here is a funding
subsidy and this is an annualized

213
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,079
funding subsidy
of anywheres from you know a hundred

214
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:13,199
thousand dollars actually twenty seven
thousand dollars in inclines case uh to

215
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,799
somewhere over a million for cv star um
what we would expect maybe with a

216
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:21,760
smaller facility
and an average maybe 78 is the average

217
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,640
here of these
areas identified or these buildings

218
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:27,839
identified
maybe you're looking at a couple hundred

219
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:31,919
thousand dollars each year
in subsidy uh in terms of cost recovery

220
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,440
and so that is really what sort of
revenue are you generating in terms of

221
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:41,840
you know sales of tickets uh other kinds
of entry fees that sort of thing

222
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,039
um other types of special events and
then what sort of actual revenue are you

223
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:49,440
generating in terms of maintenance
operation uh et cetera mike do you want

224
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:56,320
to add anything here
no i think in trying to benchmark what

225
00:17:52,960 --> 00:18:01,600
uh rec centers and and or pools
for this thing we looked at not only

226
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,799
size but the scope of the work so the
fitness the components of brian went

227
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,880
over in terms of the program for the
building are pretty similar in some

228
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:14,720
cases because of buildings
at 35 000 square feet or 30 thousand

229
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:17,360
they have other amenities or facilities
agora hills

230
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,799
has
some

231
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:25,360
multi-purpose room banquet rooms that
are part of that center mill valley also

232
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,880
has some community center meeting rooms
that are bigger

233
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,919
agora hills as a climbing wall roseau
sports center has a climbing wall but

234
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:39,360
generally speaking the the program for
the buildings that we use in the

235
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,360
benchmark uh were similar

236
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:47,280
so then we start to look at management
structures actually after we start to

237
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:51,200
identify what's the potential need
um you know what are we looking at in

238
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,720
terms of potential cost and cost
recovery

239
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:59,679
we were asked to take a look at you know
how might lake county and or various

240
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,520
partners within lake county manage a
facility of this kind and we identified

241
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,240
four different options
hopefully some of these you're familiar

242
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:09,600
with
mike maybe if you want to jump in and

243
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,360
talk briefly about uh just joint
development use agreement versus joint

244
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,600
powers authority and then i'll switch
the other sure

245
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:21,840
the the um the first being the one i'm
obviously most familiar with is the

246
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:27,120
roosevelt aquatic center um the the pool
that you see in the picture is built on

247
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:31,919
a a 200 acre park that sits immediately
adjacent to a high school in roosevelt

248
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,320
one of the high schools in roseville
in this case the school district

249
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:40,320
contributed over a million dollars
towards the construction of the pool

250
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,559
as well as some other joint use
facilities in the park site so lighted

251
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,360
ball fields and some things the city
roosevelt has a long history of joint

252
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,039
use
facilities with the

253
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:55,520
all four different school districts in
this case the high school district

254
00:19:53,200 --> 00:20:00,320
and the um this the part of the
agreement provided for ongoing

255
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,480
funding operations
from the school district to fund the

256
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,200
operation of the pool and that's fairly
normal

257
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,960
in this case it's roosevelt but there's
a number of other examples where

258
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:18,480
joint used parks and pools are built
together and in some cases

259
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:22,480
normally the lead is where the property
where the pool is built on and then the

260
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:26,720
other part of the other joint used party
contributes both to construction and

261
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:32,480
ongoing operation
um the uh i worked with the agora hills

262
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,840
calabasas community center which was
pretty unique it was a joint powers

263
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,640
authority between the cities of
calabasas and the city of glory hills

264
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,039
and they got some money they had some
land from the la county

265
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:48,880
and then
did some other fundraising and

266
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,840
contributions between both of those
agencies

267
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:57,840
it's run
by the jpa which is its own entity uh

268
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:02,480
although both the cities of calabasas
and the city of agora hills

269
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:06,559
creates an annual contribution um to
offset the operating costs of the

270
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:10,159
facility this facility does really well
in terms of

271
00:21:08,159 --> 00:21:13,280
in a normal non-coveted year but in a
regular year

272
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:17,679
they do a really good job of really
being pretty close to 100 cost recovery

273
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,200
it's a bigger facility but it's
extremely well utilized um

274
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:28,240
in those two jurisdictions but the jpa
was the model by which it was both

275
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:33,440
funded for development and continues to
be funded by jpa the jpa board is made

276
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,679
up of a couple of council members from
each of the respective cities as well as

277
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,480
other citizens at large that might be
from the park and recreation commission

278
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:46,720
and then citizens at large that manage
the jpa

279
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,600
i think the city of
i don't want to get this wrong one of

280
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,679
the cities
is responsible for doing payroll

281
00:21:51,679 --> 00:21:57,520
but then the funding comes from the jpa
itself

282
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:02,640
the other model
cv star uh community center i worked

283
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,559
with this jurisdiction actually to do uh
operational analysis to try to improve

284
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:11,840
their overall utilization and cost
recovery um this is really pretty

285
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:16,880
spectacular facility that came from some
both private donations and from a

286
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:19,600
foundation that allowed it to be built
it was

287
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,240
i think probably about 40 million
dollars so it's a pretty expansive

288
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:28,720
facilities but but it's run by the
mendocino coast recreation and park

289
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:33,520
district which is a relatively small
agency up by fort bragg

290
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:38,159
and what they realized early on once it
was opened that they really couldn't

291
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,480
cover a lot of their operating costs so
the city of fort bragg uh

292
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:47,679
entered into an agreement with the
mendocino coast recreation park district

293
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:52,720
and then passed a tax
override measure to provide the ongoing

294
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:57,760
subsidy for this operation because it
really wasn't covering its operating

295
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,799
costs so you see that's although it has
the largest

296
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:04,159
subsidy if you will
in terms of operating costs that's

297
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,919
actually funded
via the

298
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:12,240
tax measure that was used to offset the
operating cost

299
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:16,240
the last is um
the special district for recreation we

300
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,280
were asked to look at that so we looked
at

301
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:23,919
the turkey donor park and recreation
district up out of truckee and they

302
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:27,919
built a fairly large recreation center
and then just two years ago opened a

303
00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:32,960
large indoor pool complex
um and that was funded by

304
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:36,480
um the funding from the
the local recreation and park district

305
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:39,760
that they have
as well as they got some other monies

306
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,559
from
gosh the airport district and a couple

307
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:48,000
other
areas uh it it generally does really

308
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:52,159
well in terms of cost recovery uh the
facilities this one has a large gym has

309
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,720
a couple of meeting rooms
fitness facilities child care those kind

310
00:23:54,799 --> 00:24:02,159
of things that we similar to what we're
talking about but a little larger scale

311
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,679
but the park district is a separate
entity so the truckee donner recreation

312
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:11,919
park district overlays the town of
turkey which is its own

313
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,200
municipality
and it also overlays

314
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:22,480
some of the other areas like
tahoe donner homeowner association which

315
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:27,039
is a homeowner association about 25 000
residents so it's been overlapping use

316
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:32,080
so the the customers come from
um you know multiple jurisdictions um

317
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:38,400
the town of turkey didn't really put any
money into it uh they tried to do a bond

318
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:41,279
measure to build a pool but um narrowly
didn't pass

319
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:45,679
but then they didn't have the funding to
go ahead and build it it's a very

320
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:49,279
popular facility although like everybody
else this year has been slowly reopening

321
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,840
with covet right
so they're getting back up to speed

322
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:57,279
so that kind of outlines the basic
management structures from

323
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,000
joint use
as well as

324
00:24:58,799 --> 00:25:04,159
one of the things we looked at if there
was a special district

325
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:10,320
um overlaying the three respective
communities in uh in the lakeport

326
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:16,720
clear lake lake county area
and then or just traditional joint use

327
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:23,440
so additionally one of the things that
we looked at was funding opportunities

328
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:28,000
um and so we surveyed at least amongst
many of the task force members sort of

329
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:33,120
what existed out there currently or what
was reasonably visible versus other

330
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,200
future potential sources and i will say
this is one of the things that

331
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:41,200
is not well defined
at this point

332
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:45,440
there really isn't a clear definition of
how much funding where funding might

333
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:48,400
come from for a facility of this kind
hence the reason we've talked about

334
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:52,960
management structures you know trying to
bring multiple entities together to sort

335
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:56,480
of leverage their own respective funding
pods

336
00:25:53,840 --> 00:26:00,640
to be able to make that more palatable
and more feasible

337
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:04,240
for example when we when we talk about
the north natomas aquatics

338
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,919
facility center that started that
feasibility back in

339
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,600
2014
you know much of that funding was really

340
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,880
the city and one
city council member in particular that

341
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:19,440
represented that district the city of
sacramento is represented by various

342
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:24,240
districts uh you know really saying you
know making that a priority

343
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:28,480
you know obligating the rest of the city
for general funds

344
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,279
looking at special taxes that were
identified for the purposes of

345
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,080
parks and recreation in the district one
region

346
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,279
and then partnering with with some of
the large business owners private

347
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,799
privately funded business owners health
care providers

348
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:46,559
as well as the local school district in
their local bond

349
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,559
in order to bring enough facilities
together roughly about 40 million

350
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,320
dollars in capital funding and then an
additional probably somewhere around

351
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:00,559
half a million dollars annually uh in
terms of subsidy to uh to facilitate

352
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:04,159
that piece so some of the the entities
that we identified here in terms of

353
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,840
funding include obviously general funds
and all entities the city of clear lake

354
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:13,440
city lakeport and certainly lake county
have those available

355
00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:17,039
lake county has quinby
there are state grants available both at

356
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:21,200
lake county and at local school district
levels certainly the local school

357
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:24,400
districts are probably looking at in
cases where they have had bonds pass and

358
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:27,919
they have leveraged some of that money
locally

359
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,840
looking at prop 51 or even new
proposition we're anticipating another

360
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,080
state bond in 2022
that may have some funds coming back to

361
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:39,120
them and there may be additional funds
there

362
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,400
having leveraged off their local funds
neighboring housing redevelopment funds

363
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:46,480
i understand there's some potential
there with the city of clear lake the

364
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,360
school district bonds the local bonds
which i mentioned and we understand

365
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:53,200
there was
you know some prioritization

366
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:57,360
particularly at lakeport about you know
what they spent their money on what the

367
00:27:54,799 --> 00:28:01,600
promise was perhaps to spend money on as
it related to in particular aquatic

368
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:05,039
center but based on the prioritization
of projects and perhaps even the

369
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,399
expensive projects at that time
that that priority really fell off the

370
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,559
map so there's a little bit of funds
there but not much uh when it relates to

371
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,720
lakeport a little bit it can octa
unified school district as well

372
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:19,520
remaining rescue act funds at connecti
and then property and asset sale

373
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:23,760
potential
as it relates to lake form other

374
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,720
potential sources include
tax assessments that may not be as yet

375
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:32,640
defined or some sort of tax assessment
that may want to be looked at in the

376
00:28:29,919 --> 00:28:36,000
future for the purpose of funding such
as a project as this

377
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:39,600
development funding or additional
development agreements with future

378
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,159
developments in particular homeowner
developments

379
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:48,480
state bond funding proposition 68
federal funding the american recovery

380
00:28:45,919 --> 00:28:52,399
act there is funds there although um you
know they are generally limited and and

381
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,080
very competitive in terms of the way
that they're being dolled out

382
00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,240
the joint powers agreement funding we
talked about

383
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:03,600
previously landed one-time funding and
was even suggested by lake county about

384
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,039
the potential of some of the cannabis
industry

385
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,600
which seems to have a firm foothold in
the region

386
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:17,360
project location opportunities so as i
mentioned back in april we did tour

387
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:21,520
several different sites
some of the selection criteria i've

388
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,200
identified here i think is very
important it's very important as you

389
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,760
folks in particular think about city of
clear lake and the opportunity that you

390
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,640
have
with your burns valley park development

391
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,440
site
and that is the proximity and or

392
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:39,679
synergies that exist with other like
types of facilities

393
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:44,960
so the proximity to other community park
amenities athletic fields

394
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:49,440
baseball soccer hard courts other kinds
of things that go hand in hand with a

395
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,520
recreation type of facility
so they're being nearby

396
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,200
the potential for shared parking amongst
some of those facilities

397
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:00,640
so on special events or other kinds of
functions there

398
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:04,159
you're not building say independent
parking areas you're building joint use

399
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:09,200
parking that could be paired
it could be used separately depending on

400
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:14,240
the time of the year or the the time of
a day of a particular event a

401
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:19,039
co-location of libraries other centers
senior centers schools

402
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,600
and also pools with recreation centers
combined

403
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:25,200
that these have a lot of synergies
together they bring together certainly a

404
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:29,120
lot of different age groups uh the
potential for child care the potential

405
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:32,640
for senior citizen involvement those
kinds of things we feel like are very

406
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,120
important and then the place making
principles

407
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,320
that you kind of see here off to the
right you know social

408
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,720
emotional
types of things comfort

409
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:47,200
access obviously
we did look at things like arterial

410
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:51,360
streets and access to
major thoroughfares public transit other

411
00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:55,039
kinds of things
i'm not going to go into too much detail

412
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,760
about some of the properties in the city
of lakeport

413
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,600
we'll talk a little bit about the burns
valley park development and i understand

414
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:05,919
you're going to have a presentation
after this about sort of the master plan

415
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:09,360
that's evolving from that
but there were a number of facilities in

416
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,960
the lakeport area the west shore
swimming pool which is part of the

417
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:17,279
existing high school there in lakeport
which unfortunately now is is not an

418
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,240
operation there's really not a lot to
save there

419
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:25,120
but certainly it has some synergies when
it comes to the pool

420
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:29,600
that exists in the parking and also the
high school that's there it doesn't have

421
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:33,679
real good access to nature thoroughfares
just a little bit off the beaten path

422
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:39,440
there is some additional land that the
district owns but it's generally very

423
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,600
hard to access in fact access compliance
is one of the first things that you

424
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:47,760
recognize when you look at that site
the quail run fitness center is kind of

425
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:51,279
an intriguing opportunity for the city
of lakeport

426
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:56,399
that's a pre-existing recreation and
pool facility

427
00:31:53,279 --> 00:32:00,240
that has some potential for sale
it would be an opportunity for

428
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:04,159
renovation so it would uh it wouldn't be
a ground-up sort of scenario and

429
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:09,440
obviously there'd be a significant cost
savings at least capital cost initially

430
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:13,279
to leverage that facility in terms of
you know it's its structure its shell if

431
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:18,000
you will and then build out what's
necessary to sort of support the needs

432
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:22,000
that we would identify within the county
the pool itself is probably not the

433
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:25,120
correct size we probably increased the
size of the pool the pool deck and some

434
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:28,640
of those amenities
but it is very proximate to the west

435
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:32,559
side park in fact it's just
across the street there and there could

436
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,960
be some both pedestrian and other access
opportunities that exist between the two

437
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:40,320
it's also very coincident with the major
thoroughfare there the highway one of

438
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,480
the major
intersections to the highway and so it

439
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:48,880
gives a lot of access obviously to to
the county area and then finally the

440
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:52,960
west side community park area as part of
the phase two master plan

441
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:56,799
lends itself an opportunity to develop a
new built

442
00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:00,880
recreation and or aquatic center at that
location

443
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:04,880
uh but for you guys uh the burns valley
park development is really the location

444
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:08,080
that we looked at
and so

445
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:12,159
we identified some of the pros and cons
and part of i believe what uh city

446
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,760
manager is going to share with you here
in a moment is some of even the

447
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:19,840
recommendations of our team made about
how to orchestrate perhaps even some of

448
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:24,880
the conceptual design there
so some of the pros that we identify

449
00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:28,320
obviously it's already a park business
area

450
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:32,799
many synergies exist with both the
potential for future parking utilities

451
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:38,000
and athletics fields which are already
planned a neighboring library

452
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:42,799
which i think is a fantastic synergy
between a recreational center

453
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:46,559
and the rest of the athletics pieces
that are there and also the senior

454
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:50,559
center which is just up the street
close proximity to sort of

455
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:56,000
the olympic drive
area there running east-west

456
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:02,000
and so you kind of have
again better access to uh to facilities

457
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:06,720
even like local restaurants
and other types of amenities that can

458
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,760
help serve some of these special events
and the things that go along with the

459
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:12,800
rec center and even the potential for
reporting

460
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:15,520
some of the cons of course is it is a
ground-up build

461
00:34:14,399 --> 00:34:18,399
you know so you're talking about
bringing full level of utilities to the

462
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,599
site
some of the costs that are identified

463
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,440
there i know some people probably get
some sticker shock we are still in a

464
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:29,760
very escalating market when it comes to
construction across the state and so

465
00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:34,159
it's more likely that we're going to see
you know those prices continue to

466
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:39,119
increase and so those are probably the
only cons in the dressing say a ground

467
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:41,919
up site versus a renovation opportunity
like like

468
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:49,040
so um as sort of a summary and next
steps some of the recommendations moving

469
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,679
forward one of the things that we would
recommend as part of really the second

470
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:58,800
phase we identified it briefly in the
first phase report but is is

471
00:34:55,359 --> 00:35:02,640
facilitating a strategic market analysis
so perhaps utilizing surveys conducted

472
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:06,160
via social media you have a lot of
social media outlets

473
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,720
as part of the report we identified some
of the key questions that should be

474
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:14,160
asked
and how maybe perhaps some of that

475
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:17,040
social media survey might be operated
we got a lot of feedback from the folks

476
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,720
on the
lake county recreation task force a lot

477
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,040
of the members that were identified and
the partners there

478
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:29,280
while that may be strong that doesn't
necessarily identify the core need and

479
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:32,160
there may be other needs or other pieces
that are identified and so i think

480
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:35,920
that's very important
as you think about the potential of

481
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,760
partnering perhaps with other
folks or even building a recreation type

482
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:43,599
of facility on your own
of just what sort of market analysis

483
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:48,160
that
and and what sort of programmatic needs

484
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,320
are they really looking to have there
what we show is really kind of a blended

485
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,320
group of priorities as a result of sort
of across the county

486
00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:00,960
narrowing down the location not so much
in your case the location but the

487
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,800
funding opportunities how would you fund
such a a program

488
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:09,680
both from a capital cost standpoint and
an ongoing operational and maintenance

489
00:36:07,359 --> 00:36:14,160
standpoint the cost recovery
examples that we showed you earlier and

490
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:19,119
then really our phase two component to
the report uh would enable you to then

491
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:22,880
do some actual conceptual layouts
so if it is burns valley and there is an

492
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:27,119
identification
of land there identified as part of that

493
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:30,480
master plan you know what might that
program really hold

494
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:35,680
what sort of conceptual design might
emerge from that that then we use to put

495
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:39,680
together a more professional cost
destination

496
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:44,960
and operational analysis and then be
able to finalize that report so that you

497
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:47,680
really have a target there in terms of
what you're looking to fund and how much

498
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,680
funding
that would occur at that point perhaps

499
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:55,920
you might look at
solidifying joint use opportunities

500
00:36:53,839 --> 00:36:59,359
other sorts of things don't really see
is that the special district is perhaps

501
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,760
something that might come to fruition
but perhaps it is

502
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:07,599
like was identified at truckee donner
but more than likely some sort of either

503
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:10,800
joint powers agreement joy use type of
agreement or even joint development

504
00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:13,839
amongst yourselves
the local school districts and some of

505
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,079
the other
private entities that were identified

506
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:23,200
local nonprofit
entities that were identified here

507
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:26,720
so with that um i'm going to turn it
over for those that might have question

508
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,440
and answer in fact i'll take this off of
there so hopefully you can see us a

509
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:32,800
little bit better
um

510
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:38,880
but happy to uh to answer the questions
you might have at this point regarding

511
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:38,880
phase one in that portion of the study

512
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:48,480
you you didn't have identified anything
in the south county uh middletown and

513
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:53,680
kelseyville between lake port and
clearly why is that

514
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:58,640
that's a good question um you know
really as part of the the discovery that

515
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:04,800
was an area that really wasn't something
that i think people felt was was

516
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:09,680
either high need or perhaps um
something that neither one of the cities

517
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:13,119
has sort of said on lake county i think
while they're sort of orchestrating a

518
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:18,800
lot of this i don't see them as maybe
perhaps being a huge

519
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:23,200
dollar partner in the process
and so when you start to look outside of

520
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,920
sort of the city areas proper
city of lakeport

521
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:30,000
city of
clear lake it becomes more challenging

522
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:33,599
trying to figure out who becomes the
lead agency

523
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:37,680
and how do you really fund that
definitely there's there's need i'll say

524
00:38:35,839 --> 00:38:41,040
coming from that region
you have the school district in that

525
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:45,440
region you have other elements
but certainly from a less populated area

526
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:49,520
you're talking about something or maybe
even two centers you know one in

527
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:54,079
lakeport one in clear lake that really
drive folks uh from that south county

528
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,200
area you know into the more populated
centers of either lake port or the city

529
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:01,920
of cleveland
do you think it can be funded through a

530
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:06,960
lighting and landscaping kind of
district

531
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,920
mike you want to jump in
i think there are

532
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:16,800
the short answer is can it yes
i think it has to do with how much

533
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:23,200
undeveloped land use
currently exists in either of the just

534
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:28,480
jurisdictions probably the more common
method today versus lighting landscape

535
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:32,000
is like a community facility district
for service that can be used to fund

536
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:36,320
capital
but typically the creating that

537
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:41,280
assessment on
is usually typically on new properties

538
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:45,839
otherwise you can do it you can
establish a community facility district

539
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:51,040
but if it's on existing uh residential
property it would require uh voter

540
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:54,320
approval um so it's possible that you
could do that

541
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:58,720
but you know so somebody might you know
if you're gonna go to voter approval for

542
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:02,079
something like that you would certainly
that would be

543
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,560
certainly one right answer establishing
a

544
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:10,720
overlaying community facility district
for service or capital to do that

545
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:17,520
similarly you could um a jurisdiction
could do a bond measure um that um the

546
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:22,480
either either on your own or in concert
with the other jurisdictions that you

547
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:29,200
might be partnering with or or like
um you know the fort bragg and the city

548
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:33,440
or menacing coast did a tax measure so
all of those then require voter approval

549
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,720
established before any homes get built
is going to require the homeowners

550
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,720
to approve that

551
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,160
i
hope i answered that question

552
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:07,200
how did you get involved in fort bragg
because my understanding it was

553
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:15,200
not being used
um yeah i i got a call from both the um

554
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:20,000
the city of fort bragg and the um
general manager of the mendocino coast

555
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:25,760
recreation park district uh looking for
some help in evaluating uh how they

556
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:30,720
could operate their center and pool
more cost effectively

557
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:35,920
improve the overall cost recovery and
utilization

558
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:40,000
but it was a uh kind of uh
early on it was involving both the city

559
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:44,240
of fort bragg which
was contributing a substantial amount of

560
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,880
money every year to offset the operating
cost so i ended up giving um

561
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:52,880
to
two agencies

562
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:56,480
in the final recommendations this was
really more of an operational analysis

563
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,480
didn't have anything to do with building
it

564
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:13,760
any other question
well we all know that uh

565
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:18,319
the lakeport school district tried this
and it

566
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:25,040
really turned out into a big disaster
uh both funding and this so i think we

567
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:27,839
might have some hesitation on on this
this kind of issue

568
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:33,520
yeah as i mentioned earlier um you know
that was that was something that was

569
00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:35,760
brought to our attention uh pretty
quickly

570
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,599
um
and it's not uncommon

571
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:43,520
you know school districts passing bonds
um you know identifying in a master plan

572
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,800
or in a needs assessment that they have
you know sometimes three four five times

573
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:51,760
the amount of need then they have you
know bonding capacity

574
00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:55,040
one of the things i will offer is that
you know a number of school districts

575
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:58,319
last year
you know every two years in effect we

576
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,240
have an opportunity for local school
districts to pursue general obligation

577
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:07,040
bonds and so the last year was 2020 the
next year will be 2022.

578
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:11,280
interesting and interestingly enough in
march of 2020

579
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:15,119
bonds did not go that well
throughout the state and that was

580
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:19,280
actually prior to covet
you know the

581
00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:22,960
the primaries were in march they were
early march so really kind of before

582
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:28,000
everybody had a sense of what the
pandemic was going to do

583
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:32,640
we had some you know talk of out of this
this outlying virus and and there was

584
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:36,400
some if you recall some challenges to
the stock market at the time and i think

585
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:40,400
the general settlement across the state
of california was

586
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:43,839
that folks didn't want to to
pass

587
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:48,480
local bonds for school districts
um fast forward to november of 2020

588
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,079
and we had
at least for those school districts that

589
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:56,880
went after bonds
nearly a record in terms of the pass

590
00:43:54,240 --> 00:44:00,960
rate um and and one of the reasons we
believe that that occurred was because

591
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:05,760
of the fact that um you know schools
were considered essential um and we had

592
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:09,760
folks uh you know depending on what no
matter what really the economy was doing

593
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:12,800
really saying we need to support local
school districts and we need to pass

594
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,000
dollars for them whether it be for
facilities or for other sorts of

595
00:44:14,319 --> 00:44:18,720
programs
so i think we're going to see a lot of

596
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:21,760
school districts try and pursue bonds in
2022

597
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:26,319
and i think there's an opportunity
certainly for cities like yourself

598
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:30,560
and others to reach out and say you know
is there a possibility can i die like

599
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:35,200
poor et cetera
to reconsider that and to also consider

600
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:39,040
the need for something like this it
could be a true joint use opportunity

601
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,880
natomas unified school district in
sacramento did that effectively they

602
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,160
contributed
i think around two and a half million

603
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:51,359
dollars now to that north natomas
project that we featured earlier and

604
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:56,160
you know it really obviously goes back
to the sentiment the politics in your

605
00:44:52,960 --> 00:45:00,000
particular region um but uh you know
it's it's interesting how sort of these

606
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:03,440
things ebb and flow and so the next
opportunity could be an opportunity in

607
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,319
2022
sounds like

608
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:10,560
city of clear lake and your relationship
with your local school district is a bit

609
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,000
better than perhaps what would happen
with lakeport

610
00:45:12,319 --> 00:45:18,400
but definitely that's an opportunity to
leverage when it comes to funds

611
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,760
you know school districts can be one of
the

612
00:45:19,839 --> 00:45:26,640
bigger users certainly an aquatics
facility if not a recreational facility

613
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:30,720
however
there is requirement to go through dsa

614
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:34,720
when it comes to the approval process
and sometimes that dsa field act

615
00:45:32,319 --> 00:45:38,640
compliance can escalate the cost of a
project pretty rapidly you know mike has

616
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,640
some experience in that in the city of
roseville with the joint using the

617
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,880
agency
thank you

618
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,280
anyways
yeah um so

619
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,800
i mean some of this you know i figured
that we would talk about when we look at

620
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:56,480
the site plan but you know
this whole process really started

621
00:45:54,640 --> 00:46:00,160
because of the situation that we're
talking about in lakeport and the fact

622
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:03,040
that they were promised a pool and they
don't have one

623
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:06,800
um and then
we got involved because some of the

624
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:10,480
things that we were looking at um and i
think

625
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:14,560
the timing's really good um while we
weren't involved from the beginning

626
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:18,160
we're probably in a position to
see this sooner than what's going to

627
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:22,800
happen in lakeport
because of the sports complex and

628
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:27,920
you know the way we had initially looked
at design the focus of course was on

629
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,359
the baseball fields and then being able
to add soccer

630
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:36,880
and we had kind of set a little piece
off to the side to maybe do a rec center

631
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:41,520
at some point in the future but
and going through this process and

632
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:44,960
talking with our school superintendent
and some other organizations

633
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:51,680
i really feel like that there's interest
and probably available funding there for

634
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:57,920
us to do this
uh sooner than expected and

635
00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:04,000
so we we redid the design which we'll
talk about here in a minute to make a

636
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:08,000
recreation center as part of this whole
project and a central part of it

637
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:12,319
um
and so you know it is a big

638
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:16,000
a big pot of money i mean we don't
really have room

639
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:19,359
at the burns valley location to even
consider putting a pool in there

640
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:23,520
um
our our school district doesn't see as

641
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:27,599
much of a need for that
they want to have after-school programs

642
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:32,000
for kids
and they think you know this type of a

643
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:37,359
rec center would fulfill that need for a
significant period of time

644
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:40,480
and so our thought is to
let lake pour

645
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,319
folks on a pool if that's what they want
to do

646
00:47:41,839 --> 00:47:48,560
we do our sports complex and rec center
now

647
00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:52,000
and you know if if the community decides
that that they we really need a pool

648
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:56,000
here that's something that we could do
kind of was a

649
00:47:53,359 --> 00:48:00,160
next phase project um
somewhere else within the city so

650
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,880
really what we want from the council
tonight is

651
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:07,040
you know that you kind of like the
direction this is going and you're

652
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,680
supportive of moving into phase two i
mean i think the timing of what brian's

653
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:14,640
talking about will work perfectly
with the master planning process that

654
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:19,119
we're in the middle of for the whole
complex right now

655
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:22,720
um and these guys are you know experts
in the rec center piece and maybe you

656
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,839
know they can handle that portion of the
project

657
00:48:23,839 --> 00:48:30,640
um while we uh
you know we'll obviously be engaged but

658
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:34,880
you know kind of our design team's
focus will be on on the sports complex

659
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:38,240
which you know we want to make sure and
get that done you know as soon as

660
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,920
possible so
um

661
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:46,000
you know the the three entities the two
cities and the county

662
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:51,040
um supported the phase one portion of
the project financially

663
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:55,599
we haven't come up with a plan at this
point on the second phase

664
00:48:53,680 --> 00:49:00,319
i'm sure that we would need to to put
some funding in but we had also planned

665
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:04,319
to ask the larger group of partners to
participate financially in the phase two

666
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:07,359
if the three jurisdictions supported
moving in that direction

667
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:18,000
but to be clear the baseball field
soccer field portion of it

668
00:49:14,839 --> 00:49:21,040
is as a project that we're going to go
forward with

669
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:25,599
the rec center is something that sounds
good and we definitely want to look for

670
00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:27,760
the so your group would take care of the
rec center

671
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,079
uh
brian well i mean yeah i mean that's

672
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:37,200
kind of what i was thinking right i mean
we it's important when we do the complex

673
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:40,400
to make sure we have
the spot for the rec center in there but

674
00:49:39,359 --> 00:49:43,839
i think
um

675
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:48,559
and you know i i really think that we
will end up being pretty close to having

676
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:53,119
the funding to be able to
to make it happen um but from my

677
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:58,079
perspective
phase one is the

678
00:49:55,359 --> 00:50:01,599
the ball fields right um and as long as
we have the spot there we could always

679
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,079
bring that up you know a little bit
later as we put all the pieces together

680
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:09,040
obviously it takes a lot of years to
actually put it all together

681
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,960
but we were gonna we don't like taking

682
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:29,040
is needed in that area so i think it's a
great idea to put it all together

683
00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:32,640
yeah i concur and i think this
community's been asking for a pool for a

684
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:36,559
long time
since they built that center

685
00:50:34,319 --> 00:50:40,640
the community center was supposed to be
right but um just to finish i'd like to

686
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:45,520
see us go forward at least with the
planning phase and settings

687
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:48,480
room aside for it
for the rec center for the record yes

688
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:54,079
that's
what i'd agree with move forward phase

689
00:50:50,319 --> 00:50:56,800
one and plan for phase two
and just to be clear

690
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:02,240
and just to be clear you said we're
close on on funding that's without a

691
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:05,920
bond or any type of assessment correct
yeah i mean you know

692
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:12,079
it's it's helping us out and
you know maybe we should just start kind

693
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,079
of transitioning into talking about um

694
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:19,280
the
the site plan a little bit but because

695
00:51:15,359 --> 00:51:23,839
of all the the kind of mixed use
nature of the burns valley project in

696
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:27,760
general you know it provides us the
opportunity to leverage a lot of other

697
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:31,440
funds
um

698
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:36,480
but yeah i feel like that really we're
we're not going to be too far off on

699
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,359
on being able to fund the whole complex
and the rec center

700
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,319
okay

701
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:52,160
you're going to pull that yeah so i'm
going to pull this up

702
00:51:48,839 --> 00:51:52,160
um and

703
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:58,240
let me let me zoom out slightly
just to give you all some context so we

704
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,920
have olympic drive down here on the
bottom

705
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:05,599
uh burns valley road here
that that comes around to the north this

706
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:09,760
is the safeway
complex so

707
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:14,880
um you know this is a
31 acre property that the city purchased

708
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:18,990
in december
and there's you know i mentioned mixed

709
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,060
use there's several components
[Music]

710
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:27,599
to this i'm going to start over here
with um

711
00:52:25,839 --> 00:52:33,599
this section which is
will be for new public works yard

712
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:37,599
this is a public works yard shop in
addition there's some

713
00:52:35,599 --> 00:52:42,400
space here for the police department for
evidence storage and

714
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:47,040
vehicle processing
which is needed in certain crimes

715
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:51,839
and so this area would be fenced and
lighted

716
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:56,880
storage back here for
vehicles that are towed and so forth

717
00:52:53,839 --> 00:52:59,680
material storage equipment storage
all that

718
00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:03,599
and so
there would be a new roadway installed

719
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,640
on this hundred foot property that's
between the pg e public works or

720
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:13,520
corporation yard and the burns valley
mall complex

721
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:18,000
so this would include a roadway into the
site

722
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:23,760
some parking and then this is the
location of the mudslingers kiosk where

723
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:27,359
the council approved that um
that coffee

724
00:53:25,359 --> 00:53:30,960
building so we'd be we have a lease
agreement in place for them

725
00:53:29,359 --> 00:53:33,760
which should be kind of a nice amenity
to sort of be part of the part of the

726
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,079
park
um

727
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
the corporation yard gets funded
differently

728
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:48,000
yeah so that's a different part of
funding so the plan is we're working on

729
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:51,920
the design um
of

730
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:57,680
the the plan is to do this section here
into the site this section of roadway

731
00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:03,359
the fencing
the light the sight lighting and all the

732
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:07,440
utilities for the complex um
this year yet

733
00:54:05,839 --> 00:54:12,480
and
as long as

734
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,480
as long as mr schwartz

735
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:23,400
there's no reason that's not going to
happen right dave

736
00:54:25,359 --> 00:54:33,760
um and then the the rest of this project
would um start

737
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:39,839
um at some time next year
along with the the housing component

738
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:43,760
so um
the rest of the site

739
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:46,559
i'll just kind of start from i keep
getting my zoom things and dragging them

740
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:51,040
around instead of
um so we'll just start here on the west

741
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:57,040
and work back to the east so this is a
um a soccer field

742
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:00,880
um this is depressed with a little berm
around here to keep balls from flying

743
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:06,319
out into the
street as much as possible we do have a

744
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:10,640
lot of room and we worked with um you
know our partners with the the soccer

745
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:14,640
league and so forth and i won't take the
time to pull it up but now but there's

746
00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:19,760
the ability to have
as many as eight to ten different games

747
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:21,599
going in this area depending on
the

748
00:55:20,340 --> 00:55:25,920
[Music]
size of the fields and

749
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:29,119
they're really comfortable with the size
that we have here

750
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:33,119
we are hopeful at some point in the
future we'll be able to expand the

751
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:38,960
soccer amenities into another
nearby area but um

752
00:55:35,839 --> 00:55:43,440
so we have a you know large parking area
here um drop-off zones and whatnot

753
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:47,920
there's area for
tour buses for um our little league and

754
00:55:46,319 --> 00:55:53,119
soccer tournaments to be able to drop
folks off

755
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:57,440
this this is very rough but this is a
general location where we'd expect the

756
00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:02,559
rec center to be located we haven't
really focused much on design but the 15

757
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,640
000 square foot footprint
and then additional space here the idea

758
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:11,119
is to
combine and allow bathrooms for the

759
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:15,520
complex to be
accessible from the outside so that you

760
00:56:13,839 --> 00:56:18,160
know nothing was happening in the rec
center

761
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:23,760
there's still some games going on
outside it's just a way to be able to

762
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:28,240
cut the the costs
for developing the site

763
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:32,720
and then so we have two of the smaller
fields here and then the large baseball

764
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:36,640
field over in this area we have
additional parking

765
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:41,040
um here and here
what you see here is a lot of

766
00:56:38,799 --> 00:56:45,599
extra space that we haven't detailed out
yet some of this

767
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:48,640
would be designated for a t-ball field
um

768
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:53,760
for the little guys and then there's
plenty of room we intend to have

769
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:57,839
playground equipment
and some other amenities so you know

770
00:56:55,839 --> 00:57:03,440
when the family's there everyone has
something to to keep them entertained

771
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:07,280
these designs include
you know announcer's booths batting

772
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:12,799
cages
bleachers plenty of warm-up area

773
00:57:11,119 --> 00:57:18,480
and then of course a road all the way
through the site here

774
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:22,960
um and then the housing development um
which is in the process up here which is

775
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:26,240
80 units of mixed income
family housing

776
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,799
what we've been able to do partnering
with them is

777
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,799
um
funding this is about a 50 million

778
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:37,920
dollar project and their funding we've
connected

779
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:41,200
um directly into the forest complex and
so some of the funding that they're

780
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:45,839
going to be pulling down we'll be able
to use actually for

781
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:50,079
installing all this infrastructure
at the site which is going to help

782
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:53,440
you know keep the
the costs you know the other funding

783
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,920
sources that we need down which which is
going to be really nice

784
00:57:55,040 --> 00:58:01,599
um
so that's kind of the super quick

785
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:06,240
overview and um
try to address any questions

786
00:58:03,599 --> 00:58:09,839
that the the council has
about the plan

787
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:17,760
i want to thank um
the ladies from little league and uh

788
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:23,559
where is george soccer
yeah he's not here

789
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:23,559
thanks for watching with us

790
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,880
these fields would all be

791
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:52,319
so when it's not baseball season can
these be used for other sports

792
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:55,440
i don't know why not i mean i know we're
gonna be playing all year round

793
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:04,200
being more competitive when we travel
therefore we need to have baseball

794
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:16,720
the outfields could be used for like the
five-year-old soccer games could be set

795
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,960
up in the outfields yes
we have

796
00:59:45,359 --> 00:59:51,520
pretty much when they're using the
facilities in middletown

797
00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:55,359
i've been here for 35 plus years i
played soccer and baseball

798
00:59:53,599 --> 00:59:58,000
all the way through high school i played
on these same fields we play on right

799
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,119
now with baseball and i did the same
thing as a kid traveling in middle of

800
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:04,079
town so i definitely and i have three
sons

801
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:11,119
so i totally understand we need to have
more stuff in town so i'm totally not

802
01:00:06,559 --> 01:00:11,119
against ever letting anybody help you

803
01:00:12,799 --> 01:00:17,520
well anybody else in the comments from
the audience here

804
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,559
awesome

805
01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:30,640
yeah i just had a i had a question are
these designs final are we gonna do a

806
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,640
public hearing at some point

807
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,760
well
um i guess that's up to the council i

808
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:40,400
mean we normally don't do a public
hearing on the designs um

809
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:46,640
the i mean well i should i should take
that back we we plan to apply for a

810
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:51,280
state parks grant
for a portion of this project which

811
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:55,520
is due i think in november of this year
so

812
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:59,280
um we have an agreement with a great the
same grant writing team that we worked

813
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:03,440
with for the highlands park project
which we still don't know is funded or

814
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:07,760
not yet but
that the requirements of that grant will

815
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:11,280
include
a number of public meetings like we had

816
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:15,440
for highlands park
um you know as a requirement so we've

817
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,720
been working trying to get all this
stuff

818
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:23,119
uh sort of sorted out and we've been you
know using our city engineer and his

819
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:26,880
team so that we can start on the main
infrastructure and the public works

820
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:32,799
piece of it
we will be using a landscape architect

821
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:38,400
as part of the grant process to further
refine some of these points of the plan

822
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:43,200
like i mentioned the t-ball thing and
the playground equipment some of those

823
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:46,720
other site amenities um you know if dave
had his way everything would be concrete

824
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:53,799
and asphalt so
um we need to we need to bring someone

825
01:01:49,359 --> 01:01:53,799
else in to help help us with that

826
01:01:55,520 --> 01:02:03,200
so there will be there will be a number
of opportunities for the public to

827
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:07,280
review and provide input on the plan yes
so that will be a planning commission

828
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:11,520
item
uh normally we don't do a planning

829
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:17,119
commission item for that but i mean you
know we could if you would like us to

830
01:02:15,359 --> 01:02:21,040
i think there's more people coming out
when you have something noticed that

831
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,440
well like the public meeting meetings
are doing

832
01:02:22,319 --> 01:02:27,119
this part
you know i mean what what the council

833
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:31,440
directed was creating this committee to
work with which is what we've been doing

834
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:35,359
but you know i know that there's a lot
of interest in this project and we need

835
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,640
some ways to bring in
whatever you think is the right way to

836
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:42,240
do it council can give us additional
direction on how you want us to do that

837
01:02:41,119 --> 01:02:45,680
all right
i do think that we should have an

838
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:50,240
opportunity for folks outside of the
committee to weigh in

839
01:02:47,839 --> 01:02:53,520
the other question i had was around the
soccer field i know i had brought this

840
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:58,240
up but i i don't know if it was
discussed in the committee

841
01:02:55,440 --> 01:03:00,960
a grass field versus a turf field and if
that was considered

842
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:09,920
currently we're planning turf on the
soccer field you are okay excellent yes

843
01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:09,920
all right that's good

844
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:17,039
all right even though
even though cancer probably caused a

845
01:03:13,839 --> 01:03:22,400
high rate answered
i think we're workshop is over

846
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:27,119
and we'll take a couple minute breaks a
couple of minutes break to

847
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:30,119
get a council meeting going
so

848
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,640
test

849
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:13,839
i pledge allegiance to the flag of the
united states of america and to the

850
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:20,159

870
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:44,480
over the stats real quick um
so far this year we've taken a 194 dogs

871
01:09:41,679 --> 01:09:49,520
into the shelter uh 192 have left the
shelter 104 have gone to rescue 60 have

adopted

873
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:57,520
six have been euthanized and we have the
ones still on here that escaped um so

874
01:09:55,440 --> 01:10:02,719
our live release rate is still pretty
good we're down a tiny bit but we're at

875
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:06,080
96.9 percent so we're still doing really
good and hopefully we'll keep that up

876
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:09,360
for the rest of the year can you say
something about an escape

877
01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:13,199
yeah oh that one's been there for a
couple months but yeah we had one

878
01:10:11,440 --> 01:10:16,719
a while back um he was able to get out
of his cage inside the new building and

879
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,679
then when he got out he found a window
that was a couple inches open he pushed

880
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:22,480
the window up
then he pushed the screen off went out

881
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:26,000
to
the door and where he went out is a

882
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:29,360
fenced in area that has the building on
one side and then has

883
01:10:27,679 --> 01:10:32,400
that probably eight foot fence on the
other side and he dug a hole and then

884
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:36,000
came out on the airport road and
disappeared industrious dog we got him

885
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:39,840

um i think i think he had help but yeah

886
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:45,040

you could hear that could everyone hear
that 22 regional transportation plan and

913
01:12:42,719 --> 01:12:49,360
active transportation plan update
both plans are being prepared by the

914
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:55,120
lake area planning council which serves
as the regional transportation planning

915
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,120
agency for the lake county region

916
01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:02,159
the lake apc board is made up of two
county supervisors from the county of

917
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:06,320
lake and two city council members from
each of its two incorporated cities the

918
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:09,360
city of lake port and the city of clear
lake

919
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:13,280
two at-large members are also appointed
to serve as directors rounding out the

920
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:17,520
board's eight-person makeup
the primary advisory bodies for the lake

921
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:21,840
apc include the technical advisory
committee which consists of public works

922
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:25,600
and community development officials from
each of the three jurisdictions as well

923
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:29,520
as representatives from the california
highway patrol the lake transit

924
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:32,800
authority and the caltrans district one
office

925
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:38,320
the second important advisory body to
the area planning council is the social

926
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:41,920
services transportation advisory council
this group advises on matters involving

927
01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:46,880
transit dependent individuals within the
region including the elderly disabled

928
01:13:44,239 --> 01:13:49,440
and persons of the limited means
additional duties of the lake area

929
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:54,080
planning council include the
administration of the call box program

930
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:58,880
otherwise known as the lake service
authority for freeway emergencies

931
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:04,159
and finally lake abc council members
also serve a separate role as the board

932
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,159
for the lake transit authority

933
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:10,400
the primary function of the lake apc is
to allocate federal and state

934
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:13,920
transportation funds to projects within
the lake county region

935
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:17,840
funding is derived from a variety of
state and federal programs each having

936
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:22,800
separate goals addressing public needs
ranging from road safety to greenhouse

937
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:26,840
gas emissions reduction to the promotion
of healthy lifestyles through active

938
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:31,840
forms of transportation like walking or
biking like abc also assists regional

939
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:36,000
and local agencies including public
works departments of the county and

940
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:41,280
cities as well as the region's transit
agency in identifying or applying for

941
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:45,040
potential funds for priority projects
these can often be time-consuming

942
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:48,719
processes especially for staffs with
local agencies that might lack the

943
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:52,080
resources or time to compete for such
funds

944
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:57,199
finally as the regional transportation
planning agency the lake apc is tasked

945
01:14:55,280 --> 01:15:02,480
with preparing the region's long-range
transportation planning document

946
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:06,159
this regional transportation plan helps
guide the decision-making process by

947
01:15:04,239 --> 01:15:09,400
setting long-range transportation goals
for the region

948
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:16,159
so what is the regional transportation
plan

949
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:19,679
as noted it is the area's long-range
planning document for all forms of

950
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:23,440
transportation throughout lake county
and its cities

951
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:27,120
it covers a 20-year horizon and is
updated every four years to reflect

952
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:30,640
changing conditions in the region over
time

953
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:33,600
its main purpose is to promote safe and
efficient transportation for the

954
01:15:32,159 --> 01:15:37,280
movement of people and goods throughout
the region

955
01:15:35,199 --> 01:15:41,840
examples of this are found in projects
improving unsafe road conditions or

956
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:46,000
dangerous intersection crosswalks
or else reducing congestion to improve

957
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:50,239
trekking delivery routes
basically anything that helps to connect

958
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:53,280
community members with areas both within
or outside of their immediate

959
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:57,840
surroundings
land includes all transportation modes

960
01:15:55,280 --> 01:16:02,800
in lake county such as highways streets
and roads transit services pedestrian

961
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:05,800
facilities and bicycle lanes among
others

962
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:12,159
update process also covers an update to
the active transportation plan

963
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:15,360
so what is the active transportation
plan

964
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:19,520
this is a plan that focuses on improving
and integrating bicycle and pedestrian

965
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:22,960
networks throughout the region
essentially it is a focused form of

966
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:28,159
transportation that deals with
non-motorized or active transportation

967
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:32,000
projects within the active
transportation plan are eligible to

968
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:35,679
apply for grants under a specific state
program known as the active

969
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:38,960
transportation program
this is a highly competitive grant

970
01:16:37,199 --> 01:16:42,080
program that rewards well-planned
high-priority projects which are

971
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,920
evaluated as part of the active
transportation plan

972
01:16:44,239 --> 01:16:50,640
lake county adopted its first active
transportation plan in 2016.

973
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:54,800
prior to that the regional
transportation plan would normally

974
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:58,159
include a section or element that
covered non-motorized forms of

975
01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:04,400
transportation
for the previous rtp update in 2017 it

976
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:07,920
was decided that the 2016 active
transportation plan

977
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:12,880
would now serve as that component of the
rtp and both plans will be updated in

978
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:16,880
conjunction from that point on
the active transportation plan therefore

979
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:21,199
serves two purposes one as the
non-motorized element and also as a

980
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:24,640
stand-alone document for projects that
can potentially be funded by future

981
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:27,040
rounds of the active transportation
program

982
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:33,600
identifying needs and priorities for the
region is a big part of either plan

983
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:37,920
there are plenty of needs to choose from
for each transportation mode whether

984
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:42,840
they are on state highways or local
roads or serve bicycle and pedestrian

985
01:17:40,239 --> 01:17:49,040
purposes or public transit
etc identifying those needs is important

986
01:17:46,239 --> 01:17:53,120
but prioritizing maybe even more so
this is done by soliciting feedback from

987
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:57,920
local public works departments state
agencies tribal governments and your

988
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:02,080
voices from the general public to
determine how the next 20 years worth of

989
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:05,440
improvements should unfold
prioritizing is especially important

990
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:09,760
because there are far more needs than
available funding can accommodate

991
01:18:07,679 --> 01:18:14,000
the rtp seeks to guide how these limited
dollars should be spent

992
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,560
the process will look something like
this

993
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:19,440
from now through the summer we will be
seeking public input to help guide the

994
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:23,440
update
by mid-spring we will have an idea of

995
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:26,400
the local and regional needs and how
important they'll be in meeting the

996
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:29,199
overall transportation goals of the
region

997
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:32,880
a draft of the updated regional
transportation plan and active

998
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:37,280
transportation plan as well as the
environmental review documents for each

999
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:42,000
should be posted by late summer
there will be a comment period specified

1000
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:45,440
for the documents at that time as well
finally we expect to present a final

1001
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:50,080
draft to the board of the lake area
planning council by the end of the fall

1002
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:54,080
these will be publicly noticed meetings
where additional comments can be made by

1003
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:58,719
the public along with those of the area
planning council board prior to the plan

1004
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,719
of adoption

1005
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:05,520
again we want to stress that your voice
is important to this process

1006
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:09,280
transportation needs and issues that you
bring up will be evaluated as part of

1007
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:12,719
the regional transportation plan and
this will ultimately guide what the

1008
01:19:10,719 --> 01:19:16,960
final plan will look like
whether it's road safety or sidewalk

1009
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:20,880
accessibility or transit system
improvements or any barriers that make

1010
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:24,719
different forms of transportation more
difficult in your local community we

1011
01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:28,400
want to know
so please make your voices heard

1012
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:35,840
here are the best ways to provide input
you can go to the website for the update

1013
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:39,679
project which can be accessed at the web
address in red

1014
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:43,840
the site is interactive and will allow
you to provide comments on maps in which

1015
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:47,520
you can pin written comments at specific
locations within your community or the

1016
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,480
region as a whole
it will also include surveys and budget

1017
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,640
exercises
where you give us your feedback on where

1018
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:59,199
your concerns lie or which projects you
believe aren't the most funding

1019
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:03,920
or feel free to email or write letters
to staff myself john spika senior

1020
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:07,600
transportation planner at the email
address in red

1021
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:11,840
or else at the physical mailing address
below that

1022
01:20:08,719 --> 01:20:16,880
lake area planning council 525 south
main street suite g ukaya california

1023
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:22,560
we 95482
forward to hearing from you and thank

1024
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,560
you for participating

1025
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:34,640
okay so um yeah
hopefully if that was clear enough for

1026
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:38,800
you all to hear and such
but the

1027
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:42,880
main idea again is is we've like as much
public input as we can get on

1028
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:47,199
the plan
and

1029
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:51,199
the website that we are referring to is
um seen here

1030
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:56,000
i just wanted to show you a couple of
the features of the website um

1031
01:20:54,080 --> 01:21:00,159
and presentations there
uh that we just saw

1032
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:05,199
there's uh if you scroll down there's
the interactive activities including say

1033
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:08,400
the interactive map
which

1034
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:10,480
by clicking on
you'll

1035
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:15,840
see
you could scroll in

1036
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,840
for instance

1037
01:21:18,159 --> 01:21:25,120
your city and you could go to whatever
intersection or

1038
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:30,400
you know any other area that you think
deserves some attention as far as some

1039
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:34,719
type of transportation activity
again sidewalks or road improvements or

1040
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:39,760
whatnot
and then by clicking on it

1041
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:43,120
you are clicking up here i'm sorry you
could

1042
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:46,640
say what type of project you're after or
you're most interested in you can leave

1043
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:52,410
an actual comment there
um that will show up on the map and we

1044
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:58,480
could gather those towards the end
[Music]

1045
01:21:54,840 --> 01:22:04,400
um there's also a survey by clicking on
and it kind of just gives an overview of

1046
01:22:02,239 --> 01:22:07,280
where the comments are coming from or
the location for where the queen new

1047
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:12,000
members live
you know age and some

1048
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:15,600
standard demographic information
and what type of you know transportation

1049
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:20,800
is is
most used um

1050
01:22:17,679 --> 01:22:25,920
or you know those types of questions
so that would um again give us some

1051
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:29,040
insight as to where
we should focus

1052
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:33,440
um and then finally there's these two
budget exercises on the right side uh

1053
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,960
each from
one's for the regional transportation

1054
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:41,840
plan budget
and uh it you just get an idea of you

1055
01:22:39,679 --> 01:22:44,560
could go down this list of different
types of projects

1056
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:48,159
and
you start with a hundred dollars and you

1057
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:51,040
spend your way down to zero
um

1058
01:22:49,679 --> 01:22:55,600
you know
just kind of it gives you an idea of

1059
01:22:53,280 --> 01:23:01,840
what you have left and actually
fortunately it goes beyond a hundred so

1060
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:04,159
you have to be cognizant of uh
where to stop

1061
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,440
um
there's that one and then there's a

1062
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:12,400
second one
that gives uh active transportation

1063
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:18,880
projects that are really more specific
to walking or biking type projects and

1064
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:23,199
what uh you know the specific projects
that you would think deserve

1065
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:26,800
specific amounts of funding or you know
in proportion to the hundred dollars the

1066
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:29,760
same idea for
as the last one

1067
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:36,080
so that is our quick little spiel here
and um

1068
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:40,000
happy to answer any questions that you
might have um again we're trying to get

1069
01:23:38,159 --> 01:23:44,480
the word out as much as possible
too and that's

1070
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:49,840
our presentation here and to other uh
organizations and groups

1071
01:23:46,719 --> 01:23:49,840
so uh

1072
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,719
any questions

1073
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:59,040
just a quick question would will these
be linked to the city and county

1074
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:02,520
websites for people who may be
navigating those

1075
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:10,159
uh we
we could do that in fact that probably

1076
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:15,520
make it simpler which is always good
um

1077
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:19,520
i could contact would it be melissa with
the city to see if i could get that up

1078
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:26,000
on the city website
sounds like a perfect idea john

1079
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,000
i believe that it's correct

1080
01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:33,920
and or you can just
type in lake apc and uh you know you'll

1081
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:38,960
see this on the home page it's fairly
easy to find

1082
01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:43,120
stop sharing the screen
unless anybody has any questions uh

1083
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:47,280
specific to the
interactive activities that we just

1084
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,280
showed you

1085
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:55,280
i don't have any additional ones
no questions

1086
01:24:53,199 --> 01:24:59,120
no questions from the council
thank you appreciate it okay we

1087
01:24:57,440 --> 01:25:04,560
appreciate appreciate the chance to give
you the presentation thanks a lot

thank you thanks john lisa
thanks thank you very soon

1089
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:13,920
we go to item number four presentation
about cyanobacteria outreach work group

1090
01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:18,800
well looks like there's some people in
the audience that

1091
01:25:15,440 --> 01:25:18,800
would like to talk about us

1092
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,239
way smarter than me

1093
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:29,520
do you have anything that you want to
put on the screen too we have some

1094
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:33,440
presenters that are on zoom and denise

down to about 15 minutes
so

1100
01:25:52,239 --> 01:26:00,080
hopefully this is going to work
so we all are in this electronic system

1101
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,080
area

1102
01:26:02,719 --> 01:26:10,320
see
all right can you see my screen

1103
01:26:08,159 --> 01:26:13,840
yes yes we can
all right so

1104
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:18,159
uh lake county cyanobacteria
communication work group this is a

1105
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:23,360
multi-agency update
to um that we're going around to giving

1106
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:29,440
both to the cities and the county
um back in july of 2017 and again in

1107
01:26:26,719 --> 01:26:34,639
2018 the board of supervisors for the
county directed staff to establish a

1108
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:39,120
county-wide strategy and incorporate the
cities and community partners for a

1109
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:43,280
long-term all-sector approach to
cyanohab

1110
01:26:40,639 --> 01:26:48,800
systems factual and consent messaging to
businesses and general public on

1111
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:53,840
have related issues
this has been a very good collaboration

1112
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:58,719
between both cities
county and some of our tribal partners

1113
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:07,679
um following up from our prior year's um
board of supervisors recommendation the

1114
01:27:04,639 --> 01:27:11,600
county developed uniform education about
cyanobacteria

1115
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:16,560
um the last couple of years
the work group

1116
01:27:13,199 --> 01:27:21,840
which is both cities county and
our tribal partners uh water resources

1117
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:27,040
and
special districts environmental health

1118
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:33,040
have been working on um
the potential impacts the progress the

1119
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:38,320
current lake conditions and uniformed
messaging to not only just our community

1120
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:42,639
but to the the wide variety of
communities that visits lake counties

1121
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:51,760
we've moved from a reactive mode to a
proactive mode and we

1122
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:56,800
work hard to communicate to all the
sectors that are impacted

1123
01:27:53,840 --> 01:28:02,800
uniformed and communications addressed
through social media and other avenues

1124
01:28:00,159 --> 01:28:09,760
have been a huge success
for our communications out to the public

1125
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:09,760
regarding these challenges

1126
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:17,159
so i'm going to let angela take it from
here on what is cyanobacteria

1127
01:28:17,199 --> 01:28:23,280
thank you very much for having me today
i'm angela de palmadao i'm in water

1128
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:26,719
resources i'm a program coordinator over
there for county blake

1129
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:30,880
so cyanobacteria even though they're
sometimes confused as an algae they are

1130
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:35,840
a bacteria they photosynthesize so they
do convert co2 from the air into oxygen

1131
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:40,320
that goes both into the air and the
water they're very old they've been here

1132
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:42,960
in clear lake for thousands of years
and

1133
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:48,800
the same conditions that promote
cyanobacteria warm weather still calm

1134
01:28:46,159 --> 01:28:52,320
shallow waters and nutrient waters are
the same things that promote the green

1135
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:56,800
algae which is different than
cyanobacteria and that's why we have a

1136
01:28:54,639 --> 01:29:01,920
world-class fishery here we have a
really productive waters and all those

1137
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:04,800
factors that promote the green algae
which feed our fish

1138
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:08,639
and promote our industry our fishing
industry are also the same things that

1139
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:12,719
promote cyanobacteria blooms that we
have in the lake um and so even though

1140
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:16,480
we care these things are both important
to us they're just in different ways and

1141
01:29:14,239 --> 01:29:19,760
they're both driven by the same factors
next slide

1142
01:29:18,159 --> 01:29:24,000
so what makes a harmful algal bloom
harmful and again that's not an algae

1143
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:28,080
we're talking about cyanobacteria so
when there's an over abundance of

1144
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:32,080
favorable conditions just like right now
it's warm we have a lot of nutrients

1145
01:29:30,159 --> 01:29:36,239
you're going to get a big abundant bloom
growth of the cyanobacteria and they can

1146
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:40,400
produce toxins some of the strains can
produce toxins not all of them and we

1147
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:43,840
really don't know what specifically
promotes the toxins to be there they

1148
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:47,920
don't all produce the same toxins at the
same time in the same amounts

1149
01:29:46,639 --> 01:29:51,760
but
some of them do produce the toxins and

1150
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:54,880
just because there's a bloom present
doesn't necessarily mean that there's

1151
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:58,239
going to be toxins of a certain level
and same thing there could be no bloom

1152
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:02,239
present you might have some toxins if
you have some of the strain present that

1153
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:06,320
does produce the toxins so we really
rely on that monitoring data to be able

1154
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:12,080
to tell us if they're toxin present and
is there not and what level is it and is

1155
01:30:08,480 --> 01:30:12,080
it of a health hazard level concern

1156
01:30:13,199 --> 01:30:20,080
so we want to thank all of our
stakeholders who work

1157
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:25,520
on this project with us and who's been a
collaborative partner for the last

1158
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:29,600
four years or so um collectively the
team has developed and had consensus on

1159
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:33,679
all the work that we've completed to
date

1160
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:37,520
we definitely clarify that these are
work group participants but everyone who

1161
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:43,760
lives
or visits lake county is a stakeholder

1162
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:49,600
they have a voice or should have a voice
in our lake it's our biggest asset among

1163
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:52,480
our people
in lake county

1164
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,320
sarah

1165
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:02,639
hi good evening sarah ryan the big
valley band of pomo indians

1166
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:05,840
environmental director i have spoken
before

1167
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:10,159
you guys before on cyanobacteria and
cyanotoxins in our program so it's great

1168
01:31:08,239 --> 01:31:14,960
to be a part of
a collaborative effort of the county and

1169
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:20,639
the cities and other stakeholders in
terms of communicating these results

1170
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:23,040
as well as the conditions of the lake
so

1171
01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:26,639
as you probably know and you've heard
that cyanobacteria is not just happening

1172
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:30,400
on clear lakes cyanotoxins are not just
on clear lake they are

1173
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:34,880
throughout the world
of course what affects us most is what's

1174
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:40,080
here so having blooms here and having
toxins here is is concerning but it is

1175
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:45,520
something that even back in the 1990s
the world health organization developed

1176
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:49,840
standards for exposures to cyanotoxins
the state of california took a while to

1177
01:31:47,679 --> 01:31:54,080
get to those standards they're still not
full standards but there are

1178
01:31:51,199 --> 01:31:59,440
recommendations for exposures for both
drinking water and recreation us epa has

1179
01:31:57,199 --> 01:32:05,440
also just recently finalized standards
for recreational exposure to cyanotoxins

1180
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:10,080
but it is a worldwide problem if we can
move to the next slide please

1181
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:15,360
in california
and on there is a very small map but if

1182
01:32:12,639 --> 01:32:19,120
you go to mywaterquality.gov
and look under habs harmful algal blooms

1183
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:22,719
you'll see a map that has the most
recent results not just from clear lake

1184
01:32:21,199 --> 01:32:26,719
but from all of the water bodies in
california where there are

1185
01:32:24,719 --> 01:32:30,560
where there's cyanotoxin monitoring
going on clear lake is the most

1186
01:32:28,639 --> 01:32:35,440
monitored lake in california thanks to
the tribes um maybe some some people

1187
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:38,320
don't thank the tribes for that but uh
you know there's a lot of uses of clear

1188
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:42,560
lake and so it's really important to
know what the toxin levels are so we

1189
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:48,639
know which areas should be avoided and
which areas are are just fine so

1190
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:52,480
the on that my water quality.gov you can
see on the map

1191
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:57,360
it is updated on a regular basis with
the toxin results and you can go and so

1192
01:32:55,840 --> 01:33:00,159
people are saying what about clear lake
you can always look at some of the other

1193
01:32:58,639 --> 01:33:03,679
water bodies in california that are
being tested and what their levels are

1194
01:33:02,159 --> 01:33:06,960
and there's plenty of other water bodies
with danger levels

1195
01:33:05,440 --> 01:33:09,679
and usually on clear lake we might have
some danger levels and other levels will

1196
01:33:08,719 --> 01:33:13,280
be
below caution it's not even a problem at

1197
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:16,380
all so we like to make sure that people
understand that as well

1198
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:20,400
next slide please
[Music]

1199
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:25,040
moving to scott
i am scott horner with lake county

1200
01:33:22,719 --> 01:33:28,960
special districts uh there is a list of
potential impacts there i'm going to

1201
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:32,560
speak to the the water utility there's a
direct correlation between the have

1202
01:33:30,480 --> 01:33:35,920
blooms and the increase in cost in
producing water

1203
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:39,679
there's increased chemical costs there's
increased backwash filter frequency

1204
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:43,920
there's increased operation time there's
increased operators time and then

1205
01:33:41,679 --> 01:33:48,960
there's the testing and sampling
costs that that are associated with it

1206
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:52,159
and what this leads to is that the
citizens and customers that around the

1207
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:55,679
lake whose water utility pulls their
water from clear lake are paying a

1208
01:33:53,679 --> 01:33:59,920
higher percentage of their monthly uh
gross income to pay for water than our

1209
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:04,960
similar surface water producers
throughout the the state so there's a

1210
01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:08,639
there's an impact here for the citizens
here and every one of those communities

1211
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:12,960
that's being served by the lake is a
disadvantaged community so there's kind

1212
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,960
of a double whammy there

1213
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:22,880
so the emphasis that people have
different reactions to cyanotax and just

1214
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:29,760
very much like allergies that you would
have um some people have no reaction um

1215
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:35,840
some people have a very sick severe
reaction some people get a skin rash

1216
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:40,320
some people especially animals um like
dogs and and

1217
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:46,159
other pets especially livestock and
stuff can have a much bigger reaction

1218
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:51,679
they're smaller plus they tend to get in
the water or or pull the water with open

1219
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:56,239
mouth so they actually
ingest the cyanotoxins

1220
01:34:54,719 --> 01:35:00,800
these reactions
vary greatly from a small rash to

1221
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:07,040
neurological issues
um we have no actual um

1222
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:11,920
so some of the surveillance for human
and veterinary health impacts are you

1223
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:15,280
know we don't have a lot of testing
available

1224
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:21,520
that can confirm
actual cyanotoxins to health and animals

1225
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:25,520
the tests on animals are usually
postmortem

1226
01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:30,400
and they take actual liver and kidney
and internal

1227
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:36,080
biopsies and test it for certain toxins
um and then humans there there really is

1228
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:40,080
none it's it's very much a
medical puzzle as to

1229
01:35:38,239 --> 01:35:44,719
what you were doing when you were doing
it and

1230
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:47,440
how that works there's a very big piece
of under reporting

1231
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:52,400
people
swim they don't connect that they were

1232
01:35:49,679 --> 01:35:57,040
swimming in an actual body of water or
recreating

1233
01:35:53,920 --> 01:36:01,679
boating fishing whatever um and they
just think that they have you know

1234
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:07,360
some type of rash or
or symptom so we really do

1235
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:14,639
do a lot of messaging with our
physicians and our veterinarians around

1236
01:36:10,719 --> 01:36:19,040
the clinics the ed rooms um to educate
the physicians and the clinicians and

1237
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:24,800
the veterinarians on the symptoms
of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in

1238
01:36:22,159 --> 01:36:30,719
humans and in animals
so far this summer we don't have any

1239
01:36:27,440 --> 01:36:38,639
confirmed cases but we have had received
a few complaints um two for animals and

1240
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:44,109
um two for different for humans that um
we've not been able to

1241
01:36:41,050 --> 01:36:44,109
[Music]

1242
01:36:44,639 --> 01:36:51,760
completely be confident that it was
related to xiaomi toxins but we do have

1243
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:56,800
an investigation process that we do at
the health department with the with the

1244
01:36:53,920 --> 01:37:02,639
collaboration of the tribes and testing
and the state

1245
01:36:58,719 --> 01:37:08,400
to see if we can make a match
um there are here in this slide there

1246
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:14,239
are definitely symptoms
it can be from a skin rash which is hard

1247
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:18,239
because you also have swimmers itch and
other things that can happen

1248
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:22,880
um in summer and
recreation activities out hiking and

1249
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:28,080
stuff but um you know they can be
anywhere from a mild rash all the way up

1250
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:33,440
to neurological symptoms
and animals we have had a couple of

1251
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:39,280
confirmed
dog deaths related to cyanotax and

1252
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:41,679
cyanotoxins over the past four or five
years

1253
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:49,440
um this is a mutual effort
on surveillance and it is a

1254
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:55,040
collaborative project
between the effort and investigation

1255
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:58,719
between the parties uh
we have water resources big valley

1256
01:37:57,119 --> 01:38:05,280
public health environmental health
regional water boards we send out

1257
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:09,119
letters press releases cdc surveillance
and public service announcement

1258
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:14,400
we
get referrals on a regular basis

1259
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:20,320
of possible
symptoms and reactions to the water and

1260
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:24,000
our department along with our
partners

1261
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:29,679
um thank you everyone who partners with
us um do a complete and full

1262
01:38:26,719 --> 01:38:33,040
investigation on every complaint or case
we get

1263
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:35,440
[Music]
sarah

1264
01:38:37,119 --> 01:38:43,280
just to follow up on the on the
investigations i mean there is some

1265
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:47,360
funding that has come to big valley to
be able to

1266
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:52,560
go take the samples and also send it off
to the lab we don't have to pay for that

1267
01:38:50,239 --> 01:38:58,480
and that does happen whenever there is a
suspected dog or animal illness

1268
01:38:55,600 --> 01:39:02,239
so the another part of the program is
the signage and you have probably seen

1269
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:06,880
those signs online
also posted

1270
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:12,960
at various areas and these are signs
that were created by the state water

1271
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:16,800
resources control board and specifically
the the people who are working on

1272
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:22,480
cyanotoxins and cyanobacteria so they've
been able to because of a toxicological

1273
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:26,960
study on cyanotoxins that was done in uh
i believe 2014 by the state

1274
01:39:25,119 --> 01:39:33,040
there are caution warning endangered
trigger levels uh based on the toxin

1275
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:36,800
results that they uh recommend that
certain

1276
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:42,080
activities do not occur anymore so for
caution there's uh at that level you can

1277
01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:46,080
still swim in the area you want to avoid
a mat or a bloom

1278
01:39:44,239 --> 01:39:48,960
but you don't want to eat any shellfish
from that area there are shellfish in

1279
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:51,679
this lake so you don't want to eat
shellfish because it accumulates

1280
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:55,679
but
at the warning level

1281
01:39:53,679 --> 01:39:58,960
there are more restrictions in terms of
letting dogs swim in there having

1282
01:39:57,199 --> 01:40:02,560
children play in there and at the danger
level you actually want to avoid it even

1283
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:06,560
in terms of boating because one of the
ways that you can be exposed to

1284
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:11,360
cyanotoxins is through the um the mist
and inhalation of the irritabilization

1285
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:14,400
of the toxins so these signs are there
to

1286
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:19,199
inform the public you see those icons of
the activities um to inform the public

1287
01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:23,280
about what you can't what's recommended
you can and can't do uh with the

1288
01:40:21,119 --> 01:40:26,000
cyanotoxin levels that are there those
signs are up

1289
01:40:24,719 --> 01:40:30,960
from the time that we're aware of the
toxin levels from the testing and are

1290
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:34,960
brought back down after there's two
completed sampling events where the

1291
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:42,639
toxin levels have dropped and those are
based on the state's recommendations for

1292
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:42,639
taking action on cyanotoxin levels

1293
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:49,440
okay next next slide
angela

1294
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:53,760
okay so some of the progress the
milestones that this work group has done

1295
01:40:51,679 --> 01:40:56,960
um is we've encouraged supported tribal
monitoring which is essential to this

1296
01:40:55,679 --> 01:40:59,760
work group
many of the members of the work group

1297
01:40:58,480 --> 01:41:03,440
participate in
local task force on this issue as well

1298
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:07,600
as state
programs and it is multi-agency

1299
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:11,040
collaboration so working
between the county and the cities

1300
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:14,960
special districts
and the tribes and we have been able to

1301
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:19,199
produce the signage we have permanent
signs around the lake to provide some

1302
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:21,520
basic information to those water users
that are accessing the lake through

1303
01:41:20,480 --> 01:41:25,520
public
spots and some private areas as well as

1304
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:30,080
well as the temporary signs that sarah
just covered we have produced some

1305
01:41:27,679 --> 01:41:32,560
educational materials brochures websites
i brought some for you guys today we'll

1306
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:38,159
go over that a little bit in a few
slides as well as press releases and um

1307
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:40,880
informative psas so the press releases
uh we produce a press release at the

1308
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:43,840
beginning of the season to give
everybody you know the season starting

1309
01:41:42,719 --> 01:41:47,520
it's going to get warm there might be a
chance of cyanobacteria what to look for

1310
01:41:46,159 --> 01:41:51,360
who to call
and then also

1311
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:55,840
whenever there's a bloom incident or a
specific change when there's a danger

1312
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:59,199
area or a lakewide event
there will be a press release

1313
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:03,199
to inform the public of that event and
where it was and to give them all the

1314
01:42:00,639 --> 01:42:03,199
information

1315
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:12,400
sarah
so the tribal monitoring

1316
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:16,400
on the slide you see a map that we
produce and put on our website and also

1317
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:20,480
on the facebook page clear lake water
quality

1318
01:42:17,440 --> 01:42:24,320
and that's that map is showing not only
the locations where we're doing our

1319
01:42:22,239 --> 01:42:29,199
cyanotoxin monitoring
we do have some shoreline

1320
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:33,840
we have approximately 23 shoreline sites
and some sites that are on the interior

1321
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:37,760
uh that we get water samples from from
the county and also uc davis when

1322
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:42,000
they're out there on the lake and we
color the the markers based on those

1323
01:42:40,239 --> 01:42:45,199
toxin levels and those coloration of
those signs you remember danger was red

1324
01:42:43,679 --> 01:42:47,280
warning was orange and caution was
yellow

1325
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:51,600
green
means that it's below the caution level

1326
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:57,360
so it's a it's a very visual sign
um to to reflect what those toxin levels

1327
01:42:55,040 --> 01:43:01,119
are those we are out there monitoring
every two weeks we started this program

1328
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:05,679
in 2014 as you might remember i think i
i think i came to the city council in

1329
01:43:03,199 --> 01:43:09,679
2015 to do a presentation um this is a
program that started by big valley

1330
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:14,320
rancheria and elm indian colony
and we are continuing to do it with

1331
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:18,960
funding from the federal government
as well as a state government

1332
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:21,679
the next slide
there's actually also

1333
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:26,400
the state
the cchab network you can see all the

1334
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:31,360
partners on there cc habs the california
cyanobacteria harmful algal bloom

1335
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:35,280
network i co-chair that along with
somewhere from dave karen from the

1336
01:43:33,440 --> 01:43:38,800
university of southern california and
rebecca stanton from the office of

1337
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:43,360
environmental health hazard assessment
and as we co-chair it we meet with all

1338
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:49,199
the stakeholders we meet quarterly
with researchers

1339
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:54,639
vendors and uh government and um the
educational you know the academia

1340
01:43:52,480 --> 01:43:59,360
to look at ways that we can improve our
programs in the state of california as

1341
01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:03,199
well as solve this problem so know that
uh you know that what you have as part

1342
01:44:01,199 --> 01:44:05,679
of this team and as part of you know the
the monitoring on the lake is we're

1343
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:09,920
actually
very well connected with the state on

1344
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:15,440
and have the most recent updated
information about studies um there's

1345
01:44:12,480 --> 01:44:20,639
also uh federally there is a
cyanobacter cyanobacteria assessment

1346
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:24,400
network and there is um also satellite
imagery that we have access to

1347
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:27,400
uh it's not on this page but it's
fhab.sfei.org

1348
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:34,800
and you can go on there and look at the
satellite imagery of california and

1349
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:36,400
clear lake right now is standing bright
and

1350
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:40,560
red
um because of the cyanobacterial bloom

1351
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:45,199
so we have a lot of resources at our
hands i guess that's what i'm trying to

1352
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:48,560
say um and it's a well collaborative uh
group of people working on this on

1353
01:44:47,119 --> 01:44:53,840
clearly not only clearly but all the
water bodies in california

1354
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,840
and the next slide

1355
01:44:54,480 --> 01:45:01,280
okay so i get all the phone calls when
there's um blooms in the lake and if

1356
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:05,119
anything comes in and there's a health
hazard in question

1357
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:08,040
i will direct them to this page this is
a state page

1358
01:45:06,639 --> 01:45:11,920
and it's the
mywaterquality.ca.gov and if you look at

1359
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:16,480
this page on the right hand side in red
it says report a bloom so this is the

1360
01:45:14,239 --> 01:45:20,239
first step if someone has any questions
of been if they've been exposed to

1361
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:24,400
cyanobacteria bloom
and have any potential health hazard

1362
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:28,880
impacts or they have a family member or
an animal or pet in their family they go

1363
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:32,159
to that page it's like you scroll twice
you fill out the information

1364
01:45:30,480 --> 01:45:35,280
there's a team at the state that
responds to this pretty quickly i was

1365
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:38,719
talking to a guy the other day he had
filled out the form had called me i

1366
01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:41,600
called him back in about maybe half an
hour and he had already talked to

1367
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:46,320
somebody from the state about his issues
so they have staff resources that are

1368
01:45:44,239 --> 01:45:50,159
dedicated to figuring out what's going
on and also collecting the information

1369
01:45:48,239 --> 01:45:54,159
so they can make more research resources
available for us

1370
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:56,719
this team there works with public health
they'll communicate to public health

1371
01:45:55,760 --> 01:46:01,040
together they'll complete the
investigation we'll figure out if us or

1372
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:04,560
the tribes go out do spot
site sampling to figure out if there was

1373
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:08,719
something there in the water and so it's
just a really great resource and that's

1374
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:11,520
where i direct staff or i direct
calls that come in if there's health

1375
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:13,840
hazard impacts at all any question i
send them there

1376
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:23,760
this thing is just showing there's about
30 30 plus signs around the

1377
01:46:22,159 --> 01:46:27,520
around the lake
that give information about how to

1378
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:30,000
recreate safely
and

1379
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:36,000
in water that could possibly have the
habs it also provides links to

1380
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:40,719
in public health water resources there's
a qr code that links you to big valleys

1381
01:46:38,480 --> 01:46:44,719
uh monitoring data so you can get the
most recent data there and

1382
01:46:45,860 --> 01:46:49,540
[Music]

1383
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:57,600
the slide actually shows those the
location of the signs and this is most

1384
01:46:55,840 --> 01:47:01,600
of those signs are at our monitoring
locations although there's a few uh

1385
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:05,840
areas that have signs that we don't
monitor most of our modern monitoring

1386
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:09,679
locations are
the parks

1387
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:14,480
we have a city you know city of clear
lake city of lakeport uh locations in in

1388
01:47:12,719 --> 01:47:20,719
the city of lakeport it's a
redbud park and austin park

1389
01:47:18,239 --> 01:47:24,480
and we have and we have some all around
the lake we also have

1390
01:47:22,639 --> 01:47:29,199
sampling locations at
homeowners associations and private

1391
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:33,199
properties so there are
signs that are available i believe that

1392
01:47:31,679 --> 01:47:38,000
there'll be more discussion about that
but homeowners and and private property

1393
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:40,960
owners can get signs also affixed to
their area and they just need to talk

1394
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:43,440
with public health or water resources
about that

1395
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:50,639
so part of this group was developing
education outreach materials i talked

1396
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:55,119
about the press releases already we do
have articles um on our websites and

1397
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:58,239
then we have brochures both in english
and spanish um that are available on our

1398
01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:01,679
website as well as hard copy i'm gonna
give you guys some

1399
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:05,679
these are all for you so
take what you need

1400
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:11,520
um we also have some radio and digital
psas so we recently just did a digital

1401
01:48:07,679 --> 01:48:16,159
campaign this is a visual psa uh to go
on digital media we have it on the

1402
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:20,480
facebook as well as its ads marketing
we also do little videos so we have one

1403
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:25,280
about um being safe with your your pets
around the water and then the

1404
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:29,119
big valley does post their results as
soon as they get them um on the clean

1405
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:33,360
lake water quality facebook page which
has a very uh big following and so

1406
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:36,480
people get that information right away
and they can make the best decisions for

1407
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:38,960
themselves and their family when they're
recreating

1408
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:48,480
this brochure that you see on the slide
for small drinking water systems and

1409
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:52,639
that's actually for
private drinking water systems that are

1410
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:56,000
one to four homes that these water
systems are connected to

1411
01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:59,600
these don't believe there any of these
in the city of clear lake

1412
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:04,719
but throughout the lake we have 100
miles of shoreline there are a number

1413
01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:09,760
hundreds actually of homes who have near
shore wells or private intakes into the

1414
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:14,320
lake where they are drying water in and
treating it possibly

1415
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:17,840
and drinking it or showering in it
feeding it to their animals and whatnot

1416
01:49:16,639 --> 01:49:22,639
and so this
this brochure that is on the

1417
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:27,360
slide is warning or basically giving
recommendations to people who are

1418
01:49:24,719 --> 01:49:32,000
drinking that type of water um to take
care if you're mixing water uh if you're

1419
01:49:30,159 --> 01:49:36,000
making formula for your child you want
to use bottled water instead of lake

1420
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:39,840
water from your own private intake not
talking about the public water systems

1421
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:43,760
where most people 65 of the people in
this county get their drinking water

1422
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:48,159
from public water systems but from these
small systems so this outreach also has

1423
01:49:46,480 --> 01:49:51,520
been available for several years it was
dr karen tate the public health officer

1424
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:55,600
who put this together
in coordination with the rest of our

1425
01:49:52,880 --> 01:50:00,239
group so we do do outreach to these
private intakes and these state smalls

1426
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:04,080
as well because they do have lesser
treatment systems for their drinking

1427
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,080
water

1428
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:14,480
so you know our next steps um
for this group we've been together for

1429
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:20,719
like i said about four four years now
um as a directive to from the board of

1430
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:25,280
supervisors um we want to get more signs
out to private properties and homeowners

1431
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:29,840
associations around the lake we have
those permanent signs available whether

1432
01:50:27,440 --> 01:50:34,719
it's a resort or
you know local

1433
01:50:31,119 --> 01:50:39,840
hoa associations um communication we're
going to continue the monitoring

1434
01:50:36,239 --> 01:50:42,800
continue partnering with our tribes and
our other agencies our cities around the

1435
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,560
lake
you know really manage the message

1436
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:49,520
because that's what it's all about it's
about informing people so that they can

1437
01:50:48,639 --> 01:50:53,840
make
the right choice for them and then of

1438
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:58,960
course we look for input from our
community leaders such as yourselves we

1439
01:50:56,400 --> 01:51:04,320
we welcome and we support that input and
that's basically why we're here today

1440
01:51:01,679 --> 01:51:04,320
to give you an

1441
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:12,960
update and you know we'll now take any
questions or um concerns that you have

1442
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:18,719
here are
the three entities that

1443
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:21,760
people can contact for questions or for
more information or

1444
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:27,119
brochures
lake county water resources

1445
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:32,000
like county public health and
big valley band of pomo indians who

1446
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:37,199
really started this
trend back i don't know 10 years ago i

1447
01:51:34,719 --> 01:51:41,440
guess sarah i could be wrong on that but
we really have them to thank for getting

1448
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:45,679
this
project off and running

1449
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:50,080
with the testing of our leg
many years ago so we thank you for your

1450
01:51:48,239 --> 01:51:54,159
time and we're happy to answer any
questions

1451
01:51:51,440 --> 01:51:58,159
it looks like councilman has questions
uh thank you denise and and all of you

1452
01:51:56,320 --> 01:52:02,560
for that presentation it was very
informative

1453
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:05,360
i didn't i heard a lot of the the
problems created by the cyanobacteria

1454
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:10,560
and
both localized areas and across the lake

1455
01:52:08,239 --> 01:52:15,119
my question is is there any progress
being made on something that we can

1456
01:52:12,719 --> 01:52:19,840
knock these blooms down especially in
localized areas for instance off of

1457
01:52:17,119 --> 01:52:23,440
austin's beach or off of redbud
uh or off of library park lakewood

1458
01:52:22,159 --> 01:52:27,520
whatever
so is there any anything that's being

1459
01:52:25,599 --> 01:52:30,800
done or can be done to at least break
those up and

1460
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:38,080
push them away
i'm gonna let our scientists answer

1461
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:41,440
the questions of sarah and or angela
i get this question all the time so i

1462
01:52:39,599 --> 01:52:44,320
love it thank you thank you
um

1463
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:48,480
yeah so the conditions that make the
algae grow there are the still warm

1464
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:51,040
water nutrient rich we have super
nutrient water we're not you know the

1465
01:52:49,679 --> 01:52:55,280
nutrients are there they've been there
for um thousands of years just old lake

1466
01:52:53,760 --> 01:53:00,320
so it's all piled there there's a big
resource there for the food for them

1467
01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:03,760
and this warm water so still warm food
and then we get summer daylight so we

1468
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:07,440
have these long daylight hours of the
sunshine and that's what they love so

1469
01:53:05,599 --> 01:53:11,520
they're gonna grow there um
what you can do and again this is

1470
01:53:09,679 --> 01:53:16,000
extreme year so this drought year with
the low water and these when if we had

1471
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:19,920
three weeks of a hundred plus weather in
a row starting in june like that's crazy

1472
01:53:18,239 --> 01:53:23,920
so that's very extreme
there has been success local level in

1473
01:53:22,159 --> 01:53:27,920
some places in the lake with moving the
water right so you're removing that

1474
01:53:25,599 --> 01:53:31,840
habitat you're making it so it's not
still comfortable you'll still might get

1475
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:35,360
some blooms and some
toxins but not at the same level that we

1476
01:53:34,159 --> 01:53:39,520
see in areas where you have but still
nice quiet coves there how have you been

1477
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:43,679
moving the water there's things that are
water movers there's um at big valley in

1478
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:48,000
their marina they have a solar bee which
is a little bubbler that kind of moves

1479
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:51,040
it around um there are dock mounted
basically it's underwater fans that can

1480
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:55,360
move it and of course you can get
different sizes then again you're moving

1481
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:59,599
electricity around you know um there
there's our options but they're small

1482
01:53:57,440 --> 01:54:04,080
scale for your own property kind of
thing so it's it's not we can't move a

1483
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:07,119
whole large cove of algae and in fact i
think they tried it in 2010 and they

1484
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:10,159
moved it out and it just went into
somebody else's cove and then you're

1485
01:54:08,159 --> 01:54:14,880
dealing with that problem in that that
location so it doesn't there's no quick

1486
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:19,040
fix or else we would have had it already
or other water bodies would have had it

1487
01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:23,760
so the work the work being done up for
instance and rodney and slude as their

1488
01:54:21,599 --> 01:54:28,080
going to do you know make that a slow
again and it was supposedly going to

1489
01:54:26,159 --> 01:54:32,800
help filter the water coming in is that
going to have any any impact positively

1490
01:54:30,719 --> 01:54:37,280
on this yes absolutely when that gets
done and other if we can do smaller

1491
01:54:35,199 --> 01:54:40,639
scale of those two around the lake like
restoring wetlands and natural

1492
01:54:39,679 --> 01:54:44,239
shorelines around the lake that
definitely will help because all of that

1493
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:50,560
habitat basically competes for all those
things like the nutrients

1494
01:54:46,639 --> 01:54:53,679
that the the cyanobacteria does um like
although it's been here it's going to

1495
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:57,440
continue being here we're just trying to
lessen the severity and the frequency of

1496
01:54:55,920 --> 01:55:02,719
it
yeah and i wanted to say that the um in

1497
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:06,000
the clear lake nutrient tmdl which was
established about 15 years ago from the

1498
01:55:04,719 --> 01:55:11,520
regional board
they um they estimate 100 years of

1499
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:16,320
in-lake loading so we
somehow in 2009 you know we had a lake

1500
01:55:14,159 --> 01:55:20,239
wide bloom it just hit i know there was
cyanobacteria prior to that but in 2009

1501
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:24,719
it just hit
and with 100 years of it you know there

1502
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:28,400
are a lot of smaller lakes and and i'm
not recommending this with smaller lakes

1503
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:33,199
that are that are using alum to cover
the bottom of the lake and do find ways

1504
01:55:31,199 --> 01:55:36,960
to make that food that is sitting on the
bottom not available to the

1505
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:40,639
cyanobacteria to take it up but the
thing that really keeps it that the

1506
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:44,560
thing that really makes it available is
low oxygen levels so that's another

1507
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:48,239
thing
another reason why aeration is really

1508
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:55,840
useful though it's very localized as
angela said we would we have done um

1509
01:55:51,360 --> 01:56:00,239
uh using a a simple um pump and pulling
water from the lake and spraying it back

1510
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:05,360
in the lake we would do that i say do it
often and early uh don't wait till it

1511
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:09,440
looks like this you know um yeah can't
do it now uh because there's no water

1512
01:56:07,199 --> 01:56:14,239
practically but if you if you aerate it
and you move it around locally it makes

1513
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:19,599
a huge difference we had not have those
problems on the big valley shoreline so

1514
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:24,000
the bubblers the aerators fire hoses
blowing water out yeah that you know

1515
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:28,800
it's it keeps the smell it keeps the
mats from forming but you have to do it

1516
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:32,239
early and often yeah a year yeah years
ago

1517
01:56:29,599 --> 01:56:37,599
yeah years back they there had been a
proposal or a couple of proposals or

1518
01:56:34,159 --> 01:56:41,199
studies anyway done to possibly harvest
uh

1519
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:45,920
algae basically a water
water floating uh harvester that would

1520
01:56:44,159 --> 01:56:50,480
take it in and
and then take the material off up on the

1521
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:55,360
shore dry it out and they had apparently
had looked into different uses for it

1522
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:59,679
have you heard and done anything or seen
anything of that this was back in the

1523
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:04,159
90s i think yeah i i've heard it as an
urban legend maybe maybe angela can

1524
01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:08,800
speak to it more but i do know it's hard
to pick up cyanobacteria it will you

1525
01:57:06,719 --> 01:57:13,280
know if you put a pool skimmer out there
and try to lift it up most of it will

1526
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:16,560
fall through so it's really much better
to

1527
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:19,360
yeah it is it is a you should look at um
well i want to say but there's a few

1528
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:22,000
spots that we saw yesterday it looks
like a green smoothie

1529
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:26,000
um
removing it is difficult it's better to

1530
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:31,280
prevent it from from forming the other
thing i wanted to say about middle creek

1531
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:36,320
is the uc davis studies are showing that
the what we have in the lake is

1532
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:40,960
is probably producing more of the blooms
than what's coming in everybody's been

1533
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:45,199
working hard to prevent the coming in
erosion control projects and things like

1534
01:57:42,960 --> 01:57:48,960
that but if what we have is mainly from
the lake the middle creek restoration

1535
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:53,040
project will be helpful
tule planting will be helpful but we

1536
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:56,320
have to deal with what's the panacea no
there's no magic bullet

1537
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:07,199
yeah i just um on our on the signage
that you guys have set out i haven't

1538
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:11,520
seen it for a while um is there anything
on there that say if you have these

1539
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:15,760
symptoms after being in the water
please contact

1540
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:19,280
the health department
because i mean i think that should be on

1541
01:58:17,119 --> 01:58:22,639
the signage itself people aren't
necessarily going to see those

1542
01:58:21,199 --> 01:58:26,560
and i don't know i never thought about
that after all these years

1543
01:58:25,119 --> 01:58:29,280
but when you mentioned that i was like i
don't remember seeing that on our signs

1544
01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:32,719
so
um

1545
01:58:30,239 --> 01:58:39,760
denise do you know
yeah i do believe it's there let me pull

1546
01:58:34,719 --> 01:58:45,280
it up i there's a ul cord uh to
um big valley so they can scan and get

1547
01:58:42,159 --> 01:58:50,400
local conditions at that on that day but
i do believe we also have um our phone

1548
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:55,280
numbers on the signs for both water
resources and public health

1549
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:59,199
um i don't know that
let me i'm gonna check real quick here

1550
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:01,760
let me go through all these slides also
this

1551
01:58:59,920 --> 01:59:04,639
symptoms can be different for different
people it's like allergies right

1552
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:08,159
sometimes people get watery eyes or
sneezing or some people get headaches

1553
01:59:06,159 --> 01:59:12,159
and um so it's kind of different so if
we listed every single symptom well you

1554
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:17,199
might have to look at symptoms but maybe
they should say if you feel

1555
01:59:15,199 --> 01:59:19,360
like something simple like if you feel
like you've been in the water and you

1556
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:23,840
feel
sick or or have rashes please call

1557
01:59:22,239 --> 01:59:26,400
you know your
doctor and let them know that you're in

1558
01:59:25,119 --> 01:59:29,119
the water or something like that has
algae i'm just thinking that there might

1559
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:31,840
be yeah
actually have on the side

1560
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:39,040
so what it says is um
to call your health provider on the

1561
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:42,560
temporary signs it says if you have any
reactions call your local medical

1562
01:59:41,119 --> 01:59:47,520
provider
and then on the permanent signs it says

1563
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:52,480
um the current toxin levels it gives the
website and the url

1564
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:55,280
information or to report a bloom
or call

1565
01:59:55,440 --> 02:00:02,400
a local
county departments for information so

1566
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:05,280
okay

1567
02:00:05,840 --> 02:00:09,679
all right
and then on the temp app

1568
02:00:08,230 --> 02:00:11,840
[Music]
you have any

1569
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:16,400
questions say
call your doctor or veterinarian if you

1570
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:23,280
or your pet get sick after going in the
water for more information contact

1571
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:28,880
water quality california habs um and
then for local information contact um

1572
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:33,199
public
health

1573
02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:36,400
water resources or big valley
so it is on there

1574
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:40,880
thank you
councilman mclaffy you have any

1575
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:45,920
questions no questions thank you all for
the work you're doing on this this is uh

1576
02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:49,199
is a great presentation thank you
i have one or two questions

1577
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:52,320
uh
is the smell

1578
02:00:50,639 --> 02:00:56,639
is it i mean if you have blooms is it
autumn let me smell or is it what what

1579
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:59,119
creates the smell how can you get rid of
the smell

1580
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:05,440
well
there actually are taste and odor

1581
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:10,320
compounds that cyan bacteria produces
and lingbia seems to be the smelliest i

1582
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:13,280
remember in 2009 i remember saying it
looks and smells like raw sewage

1583
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:17,520
um
so uh but also when it's dying so you've

1584
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:24,880
probably seen some blooms that look pink
right now these big masses and that's

1585
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:28,320
that is the uh dying cyanobacteria so um
that's so it either is because of the

1586
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:32,560
cyan bacteria itself some of them smell
like swampy you know microcystis has a

1587
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:36,840
different smell than than lingam but
lingby is the smelly is to my opinion

1588
02:01:43,440 --> 02:01:51,280
you said uh i've noticed there's some
places that they just take thules out is

1589
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:54,639
that illegal
yeah that is can you tell me let us know

1590
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:58,480
call our department let us know where
that is so we can investigate

1591
02:01:56,960 --> 02:02:03,280
they're not supposed to tulies are
protected and you're not alone clear

1592
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:06,239
lake other outside of the lake
we don't have that that's not an

1593
02:02:04,719 --> 02:02:10,400
ordinance rule but it is the shoreline
ordinance chapter 23 does prohibit the

1594
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:13,840
removal of these some people can cut
them down um even though we don't

1595
02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:16,800
recommend that right now for this year
because they don't have water and you're

1596
02:02:15,199 --> 02:02:19,679
putting through stress so basically the
ordinance language says you cannot do

1597
02:02:18,239 --> 02:02:23,360
anything to the plant that results in
death of the plant if a plant has no

1598
02:02:21,599 --> 02:02:26,239
water and you trim it down that could
result in death so you're not supposed

1599
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:30,080
to do that um but you're not supposed to
uproot them or move them some people

1600
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:34,480
weed whack to get a better view and
that's okay that's allowed um but yeah

1601
02:02:32,639 --> 02:02:39,280
if if you know the site just call us
okay so we can go check it out some of

1602
02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:42,080
them are growing on top of my concrete
ramp that's still the shoreline and

1603
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:44,960
protected
oh sure sorry

1604
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:57,440
you said this is a worldwide problem
so where else in the world are they

1605
02:02:54,960 --> 02:03:03,280
working on some kind of uh
to to deal with the effects of this

1606
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:07,920
yeah all over um it's just very
different so like lake erie is world

1607
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:11,679
renowned for having cyanobacteria issues
and drinking water and recreation their

1608
02:03:10,159 --> 02:03:14,719
problems are very different because they
get

1609
02:03:12,639 --> 02:03:19,440
those huge storms in the summer and then
they plaster the area with phosphorus

1610
02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:22,800
and they have drain tiles so they're
getting constant fertilizer influx

1611
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:26,239
during the whole year and they're
getting those blooms right um we're very

1612
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:31,119
different we're still getting blooms but
our lake is very different so the tools

1613
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:34,000
to manage and treat in an area like that
are very different than the ones that we

1614
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:37,199
have to develop here
and i will say that i think i'm correct

1615
02:03:36,159 --> 02:03:40,159
but i think clear lake is one of the
only

1616
02:03:38,239 --> 02:03:44,000
drinking water lakes or reservoirs in
california that has these bloom events

1617
02:03:42,239 --> 02:03:46,719
um versus all the other ones there are
some bloom events it's getting more and

1618
02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:50,639
more often but i think clear lakes the
one where they have as a drinking water

1619
02:03:48,719 --> 02:03:53,520
intakes directly on the lake is the only
one in the state so it's very unique

1620
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:58,000
which means there's not a lot of
research and data as of yet just for our

1621
02:03:55,840 --> 02:04:00,960
specific situation is that climate
change have anything to do with that oh

1622
02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:04,639
absolutely because what did we talk
about the temperature

1623
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:07,760
um and still water so we're getting
warmer temperatures earlier

1624
02:04:06,560 --> 02:04:10,480
longer periods of these warm
temperatures less rain we have less

1625
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:13,599
dilution
yeah that's definitely a contributing

1626
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:15,920
factor
yeah

1627
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:19,040
all right thank you for oh but mr
product

1628
02:04:17,599 --> 02:04:25,679
patiently waiting
patiently waiting to ask my questions um

1629
02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:29,760
so i understand the the wind the the
naturally occurring winds that typically

1630
02:04:27,199 --> 02:04:33,679
blow it down the the northern arm or
toward elam and clearly goku's area and

1631
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:37,920
obviously we receive the same type of
prevailing winds uh which makes it pool

1632
02:04:36,159 --> 02:04:42,639
and pocket in those areas which where it
gets stagnant does the state or local

1633
02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:50,960
i'm thinking boating and waterways
our own water resources they have

1634
02:04:48,159 --> 02:04:55,119
anything or any recommendations for our
private property owners and and some of

1635
02:04:53,040 --> 02:05:00,560
our public areas where that where it
pools where we can maybe get some

1636
02:04:57,440 --> 02:05:04,320
assistance either trash pumps or other
ways to mitigate when it starts to pile

1637
02:05:03,119 --> 02:05:07,920
up i'm not just talking about
cyanobacteria but actually when the

1638
02:05:06,239 --> 02:05:11,679
algae the different forms and types of
algae

1639
02:05:09,119 --> 02:05:14,480
begin to die and decompose
there's a lot of gases that come off of

1640
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:19,040
that
as it decomposes

1641
02:05:16,639 --> 02:05:22,000
so that's um i would say that most of
what that is describing is the

1642
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:26,080
cyanobacteria
and not the green algae and

1643
02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:29,599
private homeowners when they call me
this i recommend you know you can put in

1644
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:33,599
a water mover like sarah talked about
early in the season um you can encourage

1645
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:37,360
natural shorelines so if you have a lot
of erosion in the area

1646
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:40,880
or a lawn that goes right up you know
that can promote those conditions

1647
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:44,239
even though it's harder when it's
affecting a large area not just your own

1648
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:47,360
parcel
some people try skimming you know the

1649
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:51,760
pool skimmer
and then put it aside on the shoreline

1650
02:05:49,679 --> 02:05:55,679
but it's just making more room for more
of it to come in so yeah i know that

1651
02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:59,199
they had looked at it though for um
different uses i mean some algae is

1652
02:05:57,599 --> 02:06:03,199
actually harvested in different parts
algae not cyanobacteria i understand

1653
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:07,040
that but now i'm looking at the health
of the lake yes and and the

1654
02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:13,199
we have to enjoy the lake as much as we
can and when it stinks it's no no fun

1655
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:17,599
so you know what can we do to help our
residents uh combat that

1656
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:21,520
so i you know we talked about syncing it
we had a former supervisor who used the

1657
02:06:19,599 --> 02:06:25,599
airboat for the county who tried to
break it up and try to mitigate that

1658
02:06:23,599 --> 02:06:29,840
we've actually hired contractors with
excavators to pull it out of the lake

1659
02:06:27,599 --> 02:06:33,920
haul it away to different um
agricultural

1660
02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:38,239
areas for fertilizer
so i mean there's different uses i just

1661
02:06:36,480 --> 02:06:42,079
can we start looking at those because
this is it happens every year some years

1662
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:44,960
more than others
that we can try to mitigate this and and

1663
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:50,480
maybe
use it for something beneficial

1664
02:06:48,239 --> 02:06:53,040
do you want to talk about the uc davis
is doing a study and they're going to

1665
02:06:51,679 --> 02:06:57,760
have some recommendations at the end of
that to kind of figure out how to keep

1666
02:06:54,800 --> 02:07:00,480
it from forming um it sells so just
because you remove some cells there's a

1667
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:06,560
whole bunch more and all they do is
reproduce and make more actually save

1668
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:10,400
themselves yeah absolutely yeah so um
one thing about having weeds on your

1669
02:07:08,639 --> 02:07:14,800
shoreline and weeds in the water rather
than is that it competes with the

1670
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:18,239
cyanobacteria so i would recommend
keeping your you know keeping some weeds

1671
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:22,320
and they're planting some tules because
they eat the same thing that

1672
02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:25,840
cyanobacteria eats so don't you know if
you take everything out of there then

1673
02:07:23,679 --> 02:07:30,079
cyanobacteria can dominate and you don't
want that to happen i i noticed where

1674
02:07:30,239 --> 02:07:36,560
the edge of the
tulis were and they moved

1675
02:07:34,079 --> 02:07:41,520
probably 20 feet farther into the lake
over the last 10 years or so yes great

1676
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:45,599
yeah we need more tulies
more tules

1677
02:07:43,119 --> 02:07:48,719
have a thule planting campaign
yeah

1678
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:52,320
we're doing yeah we've done hundreds of
feet of big valley shoreline and it's

1679
02:07:50,639 --> 02:07:56,719
very helpful i want to say another
aerator that's out there uh we bought

1680
02:07:54,639 --> 02:07:59,440
some one at usa blue books i'm sure
they're out there but they look like

1681
02:07:57,599 --> 02:08:03,679
what you put in the bottom of your um
fish tank they sit on the bottom you

1682
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:06,079
have weighted cables and they bubble up
and uh

1683
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:11,599
you know a little over a thousand
dollars you can get a bubbler that turns

1684
02:08:08,719 --> 02:08:16,320
over the water in the air uh five acre
area in 72 hours and that's what we use

1685
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:19,119
when tribone clear lake vista and it did
make a difference for the water in that

1686
02:08:18,079 --> 02:08:22,880
cove
so

1687
02:08:20,639 --> 02:08:28,000
thank you very much very educational
thank you we really appreciate that

1688
02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:30,960
all right we uh mr mayor would you have
someone on zoom that has their hand

1689
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:34,880
raised
all right

1690
02:08:33,199 --> 02:08:39,360
just wait for a second there's somebody
on zoom that might have a question

1691
02:08:38,239 --> 02:08:42,360
go ahead
melissa

1692
02:09:01,119 --> 02:09:06,320
go ahead with your comment
you have your hand raised

1693
02:09:07,199 --> 02:09:10,719
michael did cheat

1694
02:09:13,679 --> 02:09:17,880
go ahead michael with your comment

1695
02:09:26,719 --> 02:09:34,880
all right i think we have to move on
all right we go to public comment

1696
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:40,480
this is the time for any member of the
public to address the city council and

1697
02:09:38,639 --> 02:09:44,000
thanks again we

problem up here on uh 18th avenue where
i live

1710
02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:50,239
between phillips and ball
my sister wrote this in august 15 2020

1711
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:54,800
people are driving 60 to 70 miles an
hour at all times of the day and night

1712
02:10:52,560 --> 02:10:58,800
keeping us all up at night
i am sick with lyme disease and cannot

1713
02:10:56,880 --> 02:11:03,280
get any sleep
please have a patrol officer at knives

1714
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:08,840
sit at phillips avenue or borrow avenues
off of 18th and check for violators

1715
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:16,000
have called several times with no
follow-up thank you ronald

1716
02:11:12,159 --> 02:11:19,760
thank you for your comments sir and
i live on the corner of irwin

1717
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:25,280
and 18th
and and i requested uh 25 miles an

1718
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:29,119
hour post sign
from 19th and 18th on the corner where i

1719
02:11:28,079 --> 02:11:33,280
live
because they drive 40 or 50 miles an

1720
02:11:31,119 --> 02:11:37,840
hour there
and i i requested that i would put slow

1721
02:11:35,679 --> 02:11:42,719
down children at play but i would like a
25 miles an hour

1722
02:11:39,760 --> 02:11:45,440
posted on the corner of 19th and 18th
right there

1723
02:11:43,679 --> 02:11:50,000
when you come up
off of 18th

1724
02:11:47,360 --> 02:11:54,639
they go 40 or 50 miles right there
and coming down there's no stop sign and

1725
02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:59,280
they clipped the uh
they clicked the sign there that says

1726
02:11:56,320 --> 02:12:04,719
irwin and 18th avenue they took that out
and and the mailbox is right there

1727
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:08,320
doing about 40 right there so there's no
stop sign so they fly down the hill real

1728
02:12:07,360 --> 02:12:12,079
fast
and if we can have a 25 mile put right

1729
02:12:10,719 --> 02:12:17,040
on the corner there
at 19 coming down and right by my place

1730
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:20,800
going up 25
i will pay for slow down children in

1731
02:12:19,199 --> 02:12:24,880
that play
so the kids can ride their bikes there

1732
02:12:23,679 --> 02:12:28,079
and then um
between phillips and ball it's like a

1733
02:12:26,639 --> 02:12:32,400
race track
all times at night you can see the burn

1734
02:12:29,840 --> 02:12:36,320
off they hit
a fire hydrant

1735
02:12:34,639 --> 02:12:40,000
at night
they were coming up by the hospital

1736
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:44,560
coming down like this and they ran
phillips the intersection of phillips

1737
02:12:42,079 --> 02:12:48,239
coming up there there's a hydra fire
hydrant right there

1738
02:12:46,159 --> 02:12:52,639
he took that out with his truck with the
wheel

1739
02:12:49,440 --> 02:12:55,840
and with his bumper he took the two uh
yellow

1740
02:12:53,520 --> 02:12:59,840
post that that goes in front of it
cement knocked that down

1741
02:12:57,760 --> 02:13:03,520
and for him to hit that up
fire hydrant he had to be doing about 70

1742
02:13:02,159 --> 02:13:07,840
miles an hour
so he's going over those humps like this

1743
02:13:05,360 --> 02:13:11,520
and pass right past phillips
intersection

1744
02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:15,679
doing 70 miles an hour and then hit that
fire hydrant and shot it off like a

1745
02:13:13,679 --> 02:13:19,840
bowling bowling pin
and with that tightened down he was

1746
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:23,599
doing at least seven
so they're hit they're hitting a lot of

1747
02:13:21,599 --> 02:13:28,639
city property and then coming up from
walmart there they just clipped on uh

1748
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:32,159
where the uh
across from the college there

1749
02:13:30,719 --> 02:13:36,159
they went on the left there and hit the
green fence right there

1750
02:13:34,079 --> 02:13:40,800
way off the line there and i talked to
the lady there and she says that they

1751
02:13:38,239 --> 02:13:45,119
always run that stop sign there
and they're burning off like crazy the

financial statements for the fiscal year

1785
02:16:54,160 --> 02:17:00,240
ended june 30 2019.
i have a short

1786
02:16:58,479 --> 02:17:03,599
powerpoint presentation just kind of
going over the audit process and the

1787
02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:05,920
reports that were issued as part of our
audits

1788
02:17:04,639 --> 02:17:10,080
if you have any questions throughout the
presentation please feel free to

1789
02:17:08,160 --> 02:17:13,599

so you guys can see that
yes okay

1793
02:17:37,599 --> 02:17:43,359
um so the audit process uh it's kind of
broken up into two different two

1794
02:17:41,840 --> 02:17:48,240
different parts
we do what we call an interim audit

1795
02:17:45,599 --> 02:17:50,319
field work this is where we do
some of our

1796
02:17:48,809 --> 02:17:54,240
[Music]
preliminary work for

1797
02:17:52,319 --> 02:17:58,479
to assess the risk that the financial
statements could contain a material

1798
02:17:56,639 --> 02:18:03,920
misstatement this is what we call our
risk assessment process

1799
02:18:01,920 --> 02:18:08,319
this part of the audit we are just
gaining an understanding of the

1800
02:18:06,240 --> 02:18:12,559
design and implementation of the
different internal controls over the

1801
02:18:10,080 --> 02:18:16,000
city's financial reporting in order to
do this we

1802
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:19,280
have to review all different
types of transactions that the city

1803
02:18:17,840 --> 02:18:24,319
engages in
cash receipts cash disbursements

1804
02:18:21,920 --> 02:18:28,800
the procurement and purchasing process
uh how payroll is processed and any

1805
02:18:27,040 --> 02:18:32,000
other various uh
audit areas that we might find

1806
02:18:30,639 --> 02:18:35,760
significant
to the the city itself the different

1807
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:39,040
types of transactions and things like
that

1808
02:18:37,040 --> 02:18:44,479
in order to do that we have to review
specific transactions uh we observe uh

1809
02:18:42,319 --> 02:18:49,200
the processes that are that are taking
place the cash receipts process how

1810
02:18:46,880 --> 02:18:54,240
those are handled uh also the cash
disbursements process um and then in

1811
02:18:51,599 --> 02:18:58,559
addition to that we are inquiring with
different uh personnel throughout the

1812
02:18:56,160 --> 02:19:02,240
city uh that that handle these types of
transactions

1813
02:19:00,319 --> 02:19:06,000
so that's kind of the preliminary
process of just

1814
02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:10,960
gaining an understanding of how how the
financial transactions work at the city

1815
02:19:08,800 --> 02:19:14,240
and those internal controls over those
transactions to make sure that the

1816
02:19:12,479 --> 02:19:18,160
financial statements
are fairly misstated or fairly stated in

1817
02:19:16,399 --> 02:19:23,200
accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles

1818
02:19:21,120 --> 02:19:27,519
so the second second part of our audit
process is the year-end audit field work

1819
02:19:25,760 --> 02:19:32,240
this is where we're actually verifying
the balances and the amounts that are in

1820
02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:35,920
the city's financial statements
the procedures that we do involve our

1821
02:19:34,160 --> 02:19:42,399
judgment and that
uh those procedures are dictated by our

1822
02:19:39,359 --> 02:19:45,359
risk assessment process so uh when i
talked about the different internal

1823
02:19:43,920 --> 02:19:48,559
controls
if there's if there's various areas that

1824
02:19:47,519 --> 02:19:53,600
uh
internal controls might not be as strong

1825
02:19:50,479 --> 02:19:59,040
as we would uh anticipate then we would
have to do extended procedures to

1826
02:19:56,160 --> 02:20:05,200
verify that the amounts that are
actually reported in your financial

1827
02:20:00,640 --> 02:20:09,200
statements are materially stated
so part of that we are doing substantive

1828
02:20:07,680 --> 02:20:13,680
testing
of the amount of the amounts that are

1829
02:20:11,359 --> 02:20:18,640
reported in your financial statements we
are confirming balances with the state

1830
02:20:16,720 --> 02:20:22,240
and the county different payments that
are made

1831
02:20:19,840 --> 02:20:26,240
we test transactions we inquire with
city staff

1832
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:31,200
we perform analytical procedures prior
year comparisons try to

1833
02:20:28,160 --> 02:20:36,399
identify any uh any fluctuations from
one year to the next that uh can't can

1834
02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:41,840
necessarily be explained uh we will do
further procedures to inquire with

1835
02:20:39,040 --> 02:20:45,040
uh city staff to understand you know why
those uh fluctuations might have

1836
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:48,399
happened so that we feel comfortable
with the amounts that are

1837
02:20:46,640 --> 02:20:52,560
reported in the financial statements
themselves

1838
02:20:50,960 --> 02:20:56,399
uh there are several reports that are
issued as part of our audit

1839
02:20:54,560 --> 02:21:00,720
most notably it's the audit report
that's the opinion on the financial

1840
02:20:58,800 --> 02:21:05,439
statements
we're also required to issue a report on

1841
02:21:02,800 --> 02:21:08,319
internal control and compliance that's
required by government auditing

1842
02:21:06,960 --> 02:21:13,280
standards
we also issued a report on the city's

1843
02:21:10,240 --> 02:21:18,080
appropriations limit calculation
and there's also a letter that was

1844
02:21:15,120 --> 02:21:22,960
addressed to the city council just
informative about the audit process

1845
02:21:20,479 --> 02:21:22,960
itself

1846
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:32,000
so the audit report on the financial
statements uh has several sections

1847
02:21:28,479 --> 02:21:36,800
uh identifying the responsibilities of
both parties so the financial statements

1848
02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:40,319
themselves are management's financial
statements they're the responsibility of

1849
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:45,120
management
our responsibility is to express an

1850
02:21:42,479 --> 02:21:49,280
opinion on the the presentation of those
financial statements

1851
02:21:47,040 --> 02:21:52,880
we are providing reasonable assurance
that the amounts are fairly stated in

1852
02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:56,880
accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles

1853
02:21:54,560 --> 02:22:00,240
uh it talks about uh the procedure or
the

1854
02:21:57,760 --> 02:22:04,720
applicable standards that we follow
um as part of our audits and also talks

1855
02:22:03,359 --> 02:22:10,960
about that
our our procedures involve our judgment

1856
02:22:07,280 --> 02:22:10,960
based off of our risk assessment

1857
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:18,720
the city received an unmodified opinion
which is a clean opinion meaning

1858
02:22:16,880 --> 02:22:22,399
we did not
the the financial statements are fairly

1859
02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:25,520
presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles

1860
02:22:24,399 --> 02:22:32,240
meaning there's no material
misstatements in in the amounts that are

1861
02:22:28,560 --> 02:22:35,280
reported in the financial statements
there's also

1862
02:22:33,760 --> 02:22:39,200
the report also discusses our
responsibility for the required

1863
02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:42,880
supplementary information
required supplementary

1864
02:22:40,960 --> 02:22:46,240
supplementary information includes the
md a

1865
02:22:44,240 --> 02:22:49,439
budgetary schedules and pension
schedules the city this year elected not

1866
02:22:48,720 --> 02:22:54,240
to
present an mdna

1867
02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:58,319
which is management's discussion and
analysis

1868
02:22:56,319 --> 02:23:02,800
uh we are not expressing an opinion on
that required supplementary information

1869
02:23:00,720 --> 02:23:07,760
and we're only performing limited audit
procedures on those

1870
02:23:04,800 --> 02:23:11,359
and then the report also talks about
the other supplementary information

1871
02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:18,439
that's reported in the financial
statements and our responsibility for

1872
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:18,439
reviewing that activity as well

1873
02:23:19,280 --> 02:23:23,760
um i just uh put some key figures in
here

1874
02:23:22,640 --> 02:23:26,960
um
most the

1875
02:23:25,200 --> 02:23:31,680
pension liability
uh the city's net pension liability is

1876
02:23:29,920 --> 02:23:36,800
approximately seven million that's a
decrease from the previous fiscal year

1877
02:23:34,640 --> 02:23:40,640
2019 again
obviously it's a couple years ago at

1878
02:23:38,800 --> 02:23:43,600
this point but that was one of the first
years

1879
02:23:42,160 --> 02:23:48,560
the only year that i've seen actually
that the pension liability went down so

1880
02:23:45,600 --> 02:23:53,040
that's a always a plus
the fund balance in the general fund

1881
02:23:50,479 --> 02:23:57,439
increased approximately 500 000 compared
to the prior year

1882
02:23:55,040 --> 02:24:02,000
the unrestricted fund balance is
approximately

1883
02:23:59,840 --> 02:24:08,399
months reserves
which of the 2019 expenditures

1884
02:24:05,359 --> 02:24:10,800
gfoa is the government finance officers
association

1885
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:15,200
their
their best practice recommendation is to

1886
02:24:13,200 --> 02:24:17,600
have a minimum of two months operating
reserves so that kind of gives you an

1887
02:24:16,560 --> 02:24:22,800
idea of
where the city's reserves are at with

1888
02:24:19,840 --> 02:24:22,800
best practices

1889
02:24:24,240 --> 02:24:30,880
we had the report on internal control
and compliance this is a government

1890
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:35,600
auditing standards report
uh it talks about uh

1891
02:24:33,520 --> 02:24:43,200
it can we're our requirements to
consider internal control over financial

1892
02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:46,479
reporting and also uh compliance with
anything that could have a material

1893
02:24:44,960 --> 02:24:50,640
impact on the financial statement so
that's compliance with laws regulations

1894
02:24:48,720 --> 02:24:54,560
contracts grant agreements things like
that anything that could have an impact

1895
02:24:52,960 --> 02:24:58,880
on the amounts that are reported in your
financial statements

1896
02:24:57,280 --> 02:25:02,960
we're not expressing an opinion on
internal controls

1897
02:25:00,399 --> 02:25:06,560
we are just required to report any
significant deficiencies material

1898
02:25:04,960 --> 02:25:11,200
weaknesses
other matters or material non-compliance

1899
02:25:09,600 --> 02:25:17,120
as part of our audit we're required to
report that

1900
02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:20,440
we did identify for material weaknesses
i believe everybody's had a chance to

1901
02:25:18,800 --> 02:25:23,600
review the reports
[Music]

1902
02:25:21,600 --> 02:25:27,040
i won't go through each one unless you
guys have questions on them they're

1903
02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:30,479
pretty uh
you know we've reported on them in

1904
02:25:28,640 --> 02:25:35,600
detail so if there's any questions on
any of these uh feel free to

1905
02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:40,399
ask at at any time but these are the
four material weaknesses that were

1906
02:25:37,600 --> 02:25:44,640
identified as part of our audit
and then there was four significant

1907
02:25:42,399 --> 02:25:48,160
deficiencies that we identified as part
of our audience

1908
02:25:45,920 --> 02:25:51,040
that report also talks about you know
what

1909
02:25:49,200 --> 02:25:54,880
it involves auditor judgment to
determine

1910
02:25:52,720 --> 02:25:59,520
if what we might think is significant
enough to be reported as a material

1911
02:25:56,560 --> 02:26:02,319
weakness or a significant deficiency
items like that

1912
02:26:03,600 --> 02:26:10,720
there is also the sas 114 report that's
a a statement on auditing standards 114

1913
02:26:09,680 --> 02:26:15,520
that's the
abbreviation for that but this is a

1914
02:26:12,960 --> 02:26:18,800
required communication with this
those charged with governance which is

1915
02:26:17,280 --> 02:26:21,600
the city council
and it talks about the different

1916
02:26:20,160 --> 02:26:26,479
estimates that are in the city's
financial statements uh sensitive

1917
02:26:23,920 --> 02:26:31,280
disclosures if we had any difficulties
or disagreements with management we

1918
02:26:28,240 --> 02:26:35,840
would be reporting that there uh
aside from the um you know some of the

1919
02:26:34,240 --> 02:26:40,319
issues with the accounting that that
took place throughout the audit process

1920
02:26:38,240 --> 02:26:45,120
we did not have any difficulties or
disagreements with management throughout

1921
02:26:42,560 --> 02:26:45,120
the audit

1922
02:26:45,920 --> 02:26:53,680
i'd like to thank uh andrew and and the
staff at the city for uh all their help

1923
02:26:50,720 --> 02:26:58,720
in in uh finally getting this audit uh
completed it was a a long process by by

1924
02:26:56,960 --> 02:27:04,640
both parties and
um you know it

1925
02:27:01,120 --> 02:27:08,640
it was a lot of work on on both ends
there's a lot of turnover at the city

1926
02:27:06,160 --> 02:27:14,240
when we came in and so uh
having having that time frame with the

1927
02:27:11,520 --> 02:27:18,720
transition it took a while but uh
i'm i'm happy to uh have been able to

1928
02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:22,720
work with with the staff to get to get
to where we are today so

1929
02:27:21,200 --> 02:27:25,359
if you have any questions i'd be happy
to uh

1930
02:27:23,840 --> 02:27:30,520
answer them now
any questions from the council here

1931
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:37,840
chief white has a couple of updates he'd
like to share

1932
02:27:34,960 --> 02:27:41,760
sure so um i just first of all uh wanted
to thank our our new auditing team and

1933
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:45,680
specifically brad i think that
it's always an opportunity to

1934
02:27:44,399 --> 02:27:49,359
make yourselves better and there's some
deficiencies that were identified

1935
02:27:47,840 --> 02:27:54,160
but i am grateful that they came in with
a very fine toothed comb in fact a very

1936
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:57,520
very very fine one
but a lot of issues were discovered it

1937
02:27:55,680 --> 02:28:00,560
existed for years and so i think you
know from the council's perspective the

1938
02:27:59,040 --> 02:28:03,920
public's perspective
transitioning to new systems i think it

1939
02:28:02,080 --> 02:28:07,280
was really important that this was done
it's just unfortunate it takes so long

1940
02:28:05,359 --> 02:28:11,200
but it's a huge amount of effort
and on our staff specifically i wanted

1941
02:28:08,720 --> 02:28:14,479
to thank amy who's not here but
amongst carrying out all her other

1942
02:28:12,399 --> 02:28:18,399
regular duties she assisted in pulling
all kinds of records and a lot of

1943
02:28:15,840 --> 02:28:20,880
research had to be done
two

1944
02:28:19,439 --> 02:28:24,960
or three areas that i wanted to cover
just very briefly it's detailed in the

1945
02:28:23,040 --> 02:28:27,680
staff report but obviously as you're all
aware there's been significant personnel

1946
02:28:26,640 --> 02:28:31,120
changes
but i think in the last year we've

1947
02:28:29,040 --> 02:28:34,399
brought some stability i mean we just
had our first department head meeting

1948
02:28:32,960 --> 02:28:37,280
with the new finance director who will
be here shortly

1949
02:28:35,760 --> 02:28:42,880
so i think that's a really good move for
the city we have our contract with rgs

1950
02:28:39,760 --> 02:28:45,280
which i think is providing that um
professional support that we need to

1951
02:28:44,240 --> 02:28:49,040
make sure that we're doing the right
thing especially as we go to change

1952
02:28:46,640 --> 02:28:53,680
stuff and another level of oversight
um i would mention that there's

1953
02:28:51,600 --> 02:28:57,680
definitely some classification issues
within the current structure

1954
02:28:55,520 --> 02:29:01,120
which is evidenced by the findings
and i think it's going to be an ongoing

1955
02:28:59,120 --> 02:29:04,399
challenge for the city because of the
expense in adding additional personnel

1956
02:29:02,960 --> 02:29:08,000
without having
other types of revenue sources to cover

1957
02:29:06,399 --> 02:29:12,240
that so we'll have to continue to find
ways to

1958
02:29:09,920 --> 02:29:16,720
you know provide the necessary oversight
where we can't physically split duties

1959
02:29:15,200 --> 02:29:20,640
the second part is we obviously have our
new system the erp

1960
02:29:18,720 --> 02:29:24,399
it fixes a number of issues like for
example the cashiering process

1961
02:29:22,720 --> 02:29:27,439
we've also automated a huge amount of
processes

1962
02:29:25,920 --> 02:29:31,920
including our interactions with like
calpers that used to be an entirely

1963
02:29:28,960 --> 02:29:34,880
manual process every two weeks
credit card processing i know just

1964
02:29:33,520 --> 02:29:38,720
within this county about government
agencies accepting credit cards you know

1965
02:29:36,960 --> 02:29:42,000
just in the last two years we've
implemented two entirely different

1966
02:29:40,160 --> 02:29:46,160
systems um
that have incrementally gotten us better

1967
02:29:44,560 --> 02:29:50,720
so we have a very efficient system now
that integrates directly with the erp

1968
02:29:49,120 --> 02:29:54,399
and then from a public transparency
perspective we just recently completed

1969
02:29:53,359 --> 02:29:58,720
the
interface with the opengov which

1970
02:29:56,800 --> 02:30:02,160
provides real-time information
the last part is policies and procedures

1971
02:30:00,720 --> 02:30:05,840
i think you're gonna we've done a bunch
but you're gonna see a lot more when we

1972
02:30:03,760 --> 02:30:09,439
have the new finance director on board
to carry this through and then make sure

1973
02:30:07,359 --> 02:30:13,359
it's carried out so
again i think that the city's has a good

1974
02:30:11,439 --> 02:30:16,080
solid foundation moving forward is a lot
of work

1975
02:30:14,479 --> 02:30:20,240
but with everything new that's happening
in the city you know a record budget for

1976
02:30:18,080 --> 02:30:23,520
this year i think this was really a good
opportunity to set up that solid

1977
02:30:21,760 --> 02:30:28,720
foundation so that we can be successful
moving forward and the final caveat that

1978
02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:32,560
i'll give is it this was 1819 so i would
suspect and i think the auditor would

1979
02:30:30,080 --> 02:30:36,399
confirm this that in 1920 there may be
some of the same findings mentioned only

1980
02:30:34,319 --> 02:30:42,080
because we just got to this basically at
the end of 1920 um so that's the last

1981
02:30:39,280 --> 02:30:46,319
information i'll give thank you
mr mayor if i could just add briefly i

1982
02:30:43,920 --> 02:30:51,520
mean um i want to personally think brett
i mean i other than at the beginning i

1983
02:30:48,960 --> 02:30:55,520
wasn't too involved in this process but
um shared with the council before the

1984
02:30:53,760 --> 02:30:59,520
the the auditor we used the year
previous to this we weren't satisfied

1985
02:30:57,840 --> 02:31:02,479
with and
the the one that was used before that

1986
02:31:01,040 --> 02:31:07,600
for a number of years so this i know
this was a painful process to get

1987
02:31:04,960 --> 02:31:10,640
through but very pleased with um
you know the approach brett took and you

1988
02:31:09,280 --> 02:31:15,120
know we had the conversation from the
beginning that you know you need to put

1989
02:31:12,880 --> 02:31:18,880
the effort in is required to to get us
on the right track and then of course

1990
02:31:17,120 --> 02:31:25,680
chief white
put an extraordinary amount of time into

1991
02:31:23,280 --> 02:31:31,760
not only improving a bunch of processes
and putting things in place but digging

1992
02:31:28,960 --> 02:31:35,359
information back many uh fiscal years in
order to get brett his team the

1993
02:31:33,280 --> 02:31:39,280
information that was needed so a
personal thank you to both of you for

1994
02:31:37,120 --> 02:31:39,280
that

1995
02:31:39,520 --> 02:31:47,120
any comments from council if not i have
one question

1996
02:31:44,880 --> 02:31:51,200
go ahead yes thank you mr mayor uh quick
question mr vinland it looks like

1997
02:31:48,960 --> 02:31:55,760
management concurred with uh all of your
recommendations any any concerns on your

1998
02:31:53,680 --> 02:31:59,439
end on the way that they're going to
resolve uh some of the concerns that you

1999
02:31:57,840 --> 02:32:07,359
brought up
um no i you know a lot of the uh

2000
02:32:04,640 --> 02:32:10,479
my main concerns uh with with some of
the day-to-day processes

2001
02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:15,280
are
or should be rectified with the new

2002
02:32:12,240 --> 02:32:20,319
system having some automated systems and
um you know being able to to capture

2003
02:32:18,080 --> 02:32:24,240
information at the very very start of
the process

2004
02:32:22,319 --> 02:32:29,600
for example the cash receipts process
and things like that um obviously we are

2005
02:32:26,960 --> 02:32:35,680
actually in the uh preliminary stages of
the actual 2020 audit and as as uh

2006
02:32:33,760 --> 02:32:40,080
chief white mentioned
um you know some of some of these

2007
02:32:37,680 --> 02:32:43,760
comments uh might might carry forward
just because of the timing

2008
02:32:41,840 --> 02:32:49,040
um typically
we try not to just uh repeat findings if

2009
02:32:46,479 --> 02:32:52,720
they've already been uh corrected
but um

2010
02:32:50,240 --> 02:32:56,080
you know until we're able to actually uh
come out there and

2011
02:32:54,080 --> 02:33:00,960
and and observe the those
implementations then um i i can't really

2012
02:32:58,560 --> 02:33:04,319
comment too much further on that
okay and then uh to city staff it looks

2013
02:33:03,280 --> 02:33:10,080
like the
the um the latest implementation of of

2014
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:15,280
changes would be around september 30th
if does that sound correct

2015
02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:19,359
yes we kind of gave an estimate uh based
upon onboarding time for the finance

2016
02:33:16,960 --> 02:33:22,560
director and some other stuff so
yeah over the next few months and some

2017
02:33:21,200 --> 02:33:26,880
parts have been
partially implemented already

2018
02:33:24,800 --> 02:33:30,160
excellent yeah it looks like most were
either implemented or close to

2019
02:33:28,240 --> 02:33:33,680
implementation if we could just get
maybe a quick update in october and

2020
02:33:32,080 --> 02:33:38,160
november
once everyone's settled and we feel like

2021
02:33:35,760 --> 02:33:43,040
all of these recommendations have been
locked down and resolved i think that

2022
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:43,040
would be great thank you

2023
02:33:43,520 --> 02:33:47,920
um
do we have

2024
02:33:46,479 --> 02:33:53,359

dumping that goes on throughout
areas of the city in particular

2050
02:35:56,720 --> 02:36:02,720
in particular the area up around the
pomo school

2051
02:36:00,880 --> 02:36:08,000
so
this is a a a resolution that would

2052
02:36:06,840 --> 02:36:12,000
allow um
city public works department to block

2053
02:36:10,160 --> 02:36:16,319
off a section of
you can refer to it either as burns

2054
02:36:13,680 --> 02:36:20,640
valley drive or east lake drive i've
never i haven't really

2055
02:36:18,720 --> 02:36:23,359
gotten into looking at the logistics of
it so we'll call it both for now but

2056
02:36:22,240 --> 02:36:27,600
it's a
it's a fairly uh

2057
02:36:25,359 --> 02:36:30,319
unwell trial or not well-traveled dirt
road

2058
02:36:28,399 --> 02:36:33,200
that goes um
northeast of the school

2059
02:36:32,240 --> 02:36:38,720
um
the gates uh are kind of shown on a map

2060
02:36:36,319 --> 02:36:42,399
that dale had prepared there is one
residence on fellers avenue that the

2061
02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:46,399
gate would go
beyond that location to not prohibit any

2062
02:36:44,960 --> 02:36:52,800
access there
and again this is uh

2063
02:36:49,200 --> 02:36:57,439
we'd also add some k rails as necessary
to further block access because uh

2064
02:36:55,200 --> 02:37:02,800
the area off of that roadway is just a
large dump site um and it doesn't uh

2065
02:37:00,640 --> 02:37:07,600
it's not used by
police and fire there's nobody who lives

2066
02:37:05,040 --> 02:37:10,479
down in that area and we think it would
be a good thing to do

2067
02:37:10,960 --> 02:37:16,479
all right we have any questions from
council here

2068
02:37:15,280 --> 02:37:21,359
no no
okay we open the public hearings we have

2069
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:21,359
any comments from the public

2070
02:37:26,160 --> 02:37:32,240
there are no hands raised in the zoom mr
mayor i have not received any email

2071
02:37:30,160 --> 02:37:35,439
comments okay we'll bring it back to the
council

2072
02:37:33,840 --> 02:37:39,760
any more questions
if not can i entertain a motion

2073
02:37:38,160 --> 02:37:45,200
yes mr
mr mayor

2074
02:37:41,600 --> 02:37:45,200
uh this is long overdue

2075
02:37:45,439 --> 02:37:54,319
i'd like to make a
move that uh we adopt resolution number

2076
02:37:51,439 --> 02:37:59,520
28-20

mr lee lambert code enforcement
here here's some pictures

2086
02:38:38,530 --> 02:38:41,729
[Music]

2087
02:38:48,319 --> 02:38:54,560
all right good evening mr mayor and
council members uh

2088
02:38:52,319 --> 02:38:54,560
this

2089
02:38:54,800 --> 02:39:00,560
staff reports in regards to the
demolition of 14525

2090
02:38:58,640 --> 02:39:04,720
lakeshore drive
purpose of the hearing

2091
02:39:02,240 --> 02:39:07,680
uh is to allow the city manager
uh

2092
02:39:05,520 --> 02:39:11,600
to execute a contract with toronto
excavating incorporated for the

2093
02:39:09,280 --> 02:39:15,359
demolition of that address
upon consideration of the evidence and

2094
02:39:13,439 --> 02:39:18,800
testimony
council may

2095
02:39:16,880 --> 02:39:21,920
accept or deny
the bid for demolition

2096
02:39:22,240 --> 02:39:28,640
a staff recommendation is to allow the
city manager to execute a contract with

2097
02:39:26,479 --> 02:39:32,479
turner excavating inc for the demolition
at one four five two five lakeshore

2098
02:39:30,319 --> 02:39:36,800
drive
all right

2099
02:39:34,080 --> 02:39:42,560
so overall case activity and this case
was started uh december 26 2018.

2100
02:39:40,640 --> 02:39:46,000
there's been 22 total compliance
inspections a public nuisance citation

2101
02:39:44,640 --> 02:39:48,960
was issued a notice of violation was
issued

2102
02:39:46,960 --> 02:39:52,720
and 11 administrative citations were
issued

2103
02:39:50,160 --> 02:39:56,240
in order to abate was finally issued
i believe is april of this year

2104
02:40:00,080 --> 02:40:07,309
um
there are i believe it's

2105
02:40:04,180 --> 02:40:07,309
[Music]

2106
02:40:09,680 --> 02:40:17,960
11 different violations
the crew musical code and the california

2107
02:40:14,319 --> 02:40:17,960
health and safety code

2108
02:40:25,600 --> 02:40:31,600
so that so i'll describe some of the
pictures here uh that's a photo of a

2109
02:40:29,680 --> 02:40:35,840
electrical panel under the property
where all the wires have been cut and

2110
02:40:32,960 --> 02:40:35,840
removed

2111
02:40:36,720 --> 02:40:42,800
that's how they built the deck
around the existing meters and then all

2112
02:40:40,399 --> 02:40:45,359
the wires in the gutter above the meters
have been cut

2113
02:40:46,080 --> 02:40:51,920
and that's a picture of how the inside
has been left

2114
02:40:48,880 --> 02:40:51,920
inside sorry excuse me

2115
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:56,399
um
most of the damage to the building has

2116
02:40:54,479 --> 02:41:00,840
been caused by water damage
as you'll see in the photos this is just

2117
02:40:58,240 --> 02:41:07,520
one area where the roof caved
in another area where they've removed

2118
02:41:03,439 --> 02:41:07,520
sheetrock because to let moisture out

2119
02:41:08,479 --> 02:41:15,640
another area the whole main building
is pretty much gutted like that

2120
02:41:17,680 --> 02:41:23,040
um that's an opening in the bar area
that gets broken into a lot you can see

2121
02:41:22,160 --> 02:41:26,080
how they
didn't really secure it all you have to

2122
02:41:24,640 --> 02:41:30,560
do is pull the plywood down people are
getting in there all the time

2123
02:41:28,560 --> 02:41:35,520
so this picture here if you look in the
background you see the wall of the

2124
02:41:33,120 --> 02:41:39,120
add-on how it's listing
the parts listing out and the lower

2125
02:41:37,600 --> 02:41:43,880
parts listing in
um that whole portion of the building is

2126
02:41:40,880 --> 02:41:43,880
failing

2127
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:50,720
here's another fit why it's failing you
have broken beams um and supports

2128
02:41:48,319 --> 02:41:50,720
underneath

2129
02:41:51,600 --> 02:41:56,880
that's the portion of the building
failing right there looking straight on

2130
02:41:55,200 --> 02:42:00,960
additionally that swamp clear there is
what they were using for the kitchen

2131
02:41:58,240 --> 02:42:00,960
exhaust vent

2132
02:42:03,120 --> 02:42:08,640
more weathering you can see where the
water's been getting in creating dry rot

2133
02:42:06,399 --> 02:42:08,640
there

2134
02:42:08,880 --> 02:42:14,880
so this is what happened on the whole
roof this was taken in the winter their

2135
02:42:12,560 --> 02:42:18,240
roof uh drainage wasn't leaking so the
roof would

2136
02:42:16,720 --> 02:42:22,800
the water would just accumulate on the
roof

2137
02:42:19,600 --> 02:42:27,479
and start getting into the wood
going pouring down inside the interior

2138
02:42:24,479 --> 02:42:27,479
walls

2139
02:42:29,120 --> 02:42:34,960
so this one here as you could tell that
if you look to the right of the concrete

2140
02:42:33,680 --> 02:42:39,120
it's dry
this is water after several days of

2141
02:42:36,880 --> 02:42:43,439
being dry which is coming down the wall
still creating dry rot in the walls

2142
02:42:43,520 --> 02:42:47,600
creating mold and things like this
inside

2143
02:42:49,359 --> 02:42:53,080
ceiling falling down

2144
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:05,040
mold
more mold

2145
02:43:03,359 --> 02:43:09,760
and this is just a picture of how much
we've tried to get him to comply

2146
02:43:07,520 --> 02:43:13,200
and he has failed to do so
in

2147
02:43:10,479 --> 02:43:13,200
two and a half years

2148
02:43:14,960 --> 02:43:22,240
so case summary
again it's been open since december 2018

2149
02:43:20,560 --> 02:43:26,479
the property owners made no attempt to
comply with clearly musical code or the

2150
02:43:24,240 --> 02:43:29,439
california health and safety code
um

2151
02:43:27,439 --> 02:43:33,840
it's a nuisance property in addition to
all the code enforcement detail uh the

2152
02:43:31,840 --> 02:43:37,600
police department has responded 37 times
in the last five years there for people

2153
02:43:35,359 --> 02:43:41,359
breaking in or people squatting in it
people dumping things there things like

2154
02:43:39,120 --> 02:43:41,359
that

2155
02:43:46,800 --> 02:43:53,439
the city's exhausted
all other means

2156
02:43:51,040 --> 02:43:58,960
uh to reach voluntary compliance we even
looked into a possible receivership

2157
02:43:56,319 --> 02:44:03,520
but it's not feasible so at this time
the staff recommends the city council

2158
02:44:00,960 --> 02:44:08,240
grant the city manager the right to
execute a contract with turner

2159
02:44:05,760 --> 02:44:08,240
excavating

2160
02:44:08,319 --> 02:44:15,920
thank you
okay we have questions from

2161
02:44:11,840 --> 02:44:18,479
council here mr purdue but mr kramer got
us up first

2162
02:44:24,080 --> 02:44:32,000
turn that off
this all those photos of course were

2163
02:44:27,520 --> 02:44:37,600
taken in 2018 and i fully agree that the
owner in 2018 was a very poor owner

2164
02:44:35,840 --> 02:44:41,359
and um
but do you are you aware that he doesn't

2165
02:44:39,680 --> 02:44:44,960
own it anymore that it was recently
purchased and the person purchasing it

2166
02:44:43,439 --> 02:44:49,200
wants to
uh rehabit has met with the city about

2167
02:44:47,520 --> 02:44:53,120
that yeah i think the city manager is
going to speak further about that um

2168
02:44:51,040 --> 02:44:55,840
those photos though weren't all taking
into account the ones i saw were data

2169
02:44:54,560 --> 02:45:00,520
yeah some are dated but the ones that
weren't data were actually taken this

2170
02:44:57,279 --> 02:45:00,520
last year

2171
02:45:00,800 --> 02:45:07,520
i have no doubt that
it needs a lot of work but again it's

2172
02:45:04,560 --> 02:45:07,520
not the same owner

2173
02:45:11,920 --> 02:45:15,240
i just wanna

2174
02:45:21,920 --> 02:45:26,479
so i wasn't i just happened to be in the
city when he said he went over and paid

2175
02:45:24,960 --> 02:45:31,040
the fees and came over
and and got the permits but he sounded

2176
02:45:29,120 --> 02:45:35,600
like he was going to tear it down
because he was getting rating permits

2177
02:45:32,479 --> 02:45:38,640
and stuff i'll be happy to address um
so

2178
02:45:36,319 --> 02:45:43,520
yeah mr ching said a lot of things um
very few of which were true um

2179
02:45:41,040 --> 02:45:48,160
he did he did pay
most of the administrative citations

2180
02:45:45,520 --> 02:45:53,120
within the last 30 days
and i believe i talked to him a couple

2181
02:45:50,880 --> 02:45:58,319
of times that was largely i think
motivated by

2182
02:45:55,520 --> 02:46:03,040
the fact that he he saw an end of the
light for him to continue

2183
02:46:00,640 --> 02:46:06,560
um just ignoring
the municipal code

2184
02:46:04,800 --> 02:46:12,319
and um
but but one thing that has changed

2185
02:46:08,880 --> 02:46:16,880
recently is that he did sell
this property and actually all of his

2186
02:46:14,399 --> 02:46:20,560
properties in the city which i think is
is a very good thing

2187
02:46:19,200 --> 02:46:24,800
because all of his properties are in
extremely poor condition

2188
02:46:22,399 --> 02:46:27,200
and our inner code enforcement problems
um

2189
02:46:25,920 --> 02:46:33,359
so
we did meet with the new owner there's a

2190
02:46:30,800 --> 02:46:38,880
family that purchased this property and
a property that is just to the north

2191
02:46:36,479 --> 02:46:42,160
which includes several residential units
and there was a separate

2192
02:46:40,560 --> 02:46:46,960
um
um

2193
02:46:44,080 --> 02:46:52,479
purchaser of the apartments by the
lamplighter between the lamplighter and

2194
02:46:48,640 --> 02:46:56,080
the the apartments that we recently sold
so we did meet uh

2195
02:46:54,399 --> 02:46:58,640
with the new owners
you know they

2196
02:46:58,800 --> 02:47:05,439
the issues with this property were not
disclosed to them by mr ching and so

2197
02:47:04,080 --> 02:47:07,840
they were unaware of some of the
situation

2198
02:47:08,160 --> 02:47:13,120
i believe that they are very well
intentioned

2199
02:47:11,920 --> 02:47:18,479
and have a
real desire to

2200
02:47:14,960 --> 02:47:22,160
invest in the community and
turn these properties into something

2201
02:47:20,479 --> 02:47:24,880
that will be
beneficial

2202
02:47:25,600 --> 02:47:32,720
however as explained to them while the
citations were paid prior

2203
02:47:31,200 --> 02:47:36,720
to the property being sold all the
violations remain

2204
02:47:34,560 --> 02:47:40,160
and will need to be
addressed now they're doing an analysis

2205
02:47:39,200 --> 02:47:44,880
on
um whether it's feasible for them you

2206
02:47:42,720 --> 02:47:49,439
know they when they bought it their idea
was that they were going to

2207
02:47:46,560 --> 02:47:52,240
renovate the building um
i think um

2208
02:47:52,319 --> 02:47:57,760
you know i don't know if that's that's
feasible or not everyone that we've

2209
02:47:55,760 --> 02:48:00,840
talked to said that it's not you can see
the condition of the building from the

2210
02:47:59,439 --> 02:48:05,520
images
um and

2211
02:48:02,880 --> 02:48:11,279
the new owner is on zoom it looks like
that she wanna may want to make some

2212
02:48:07,840 --> 02:48:15,200
comments but um i have communicated this
to her

2213
02:48:12,800 --> 02:48:18,160
and her husband but my request of the
council because of the history of this

2214
02:48:17,040 --> 02:48:22,880
property
is that you still authorize me tonight

2215
02:48:20,640 --> 02:48:26,399
to have the authority to
execute a contract to demolish this

2216
02:48:24,800 --> 02:48:31,359
building if there's not significant
process or a progress from the new owner

2217
02:48:29,600 --> 02:48:34,720
in
addressing the violations

2218
02:48:35,520 --> 02:48:41,840
okay just a short question to you that
contract with

2219
02:48:39,680 --> 02:48:45,279
chernow construction i believe how long
is that

2220
02:48:42,800 --> 02:48:48,399
is that a 90 day
that's correct right it's i believe so

2221
02:48:47,200 --> 02:48:51,920
yeah
oh if it's not

2222
02:48:49,760 --> 02:48:54,399
work doesn't start in 90 day it's
null and void

2223
02:48:53,359 --> 02:48:58,640
or well
we'd have to do another

2224
02:48:56,160 --> 02:49:03,840
uh request for bids yeah the bid
wouldn't be good after that

2225
02:49:00,399 --> 02:49:07,680
okay any more questions from staff uh
chief white please i i just wanted to

2226
02:49:05,600 --> 02:49:11,680
add just for context um i believe the
other property that was purchased was

2227
02:49:08,960 --> 02:49:15,520
one four five four one lake shore
and while we're cautiously optimistic

2228
02:49:13,439 --> 02:49:19,439
about it um i would mention that has an
open case season as of right now there's

2229
02:49:17,359 --> 02:49:24,319
overflowing garbage going all over the
area um so perhaps the proprietor might

2230
02:49:22,560 --> 02:49:27,279
address that as well if they're i see
their hands right

2231
02:49:25,600 --> 02:49:33,120
there's also numerous electric
violations on that property too with yes

2232
02:49:29,840 --> 02:49:37,479
wires right laying on all over the place
all right we're going to open for public

2233
02:49:34,479 --> 02:49:37,479
hearings

2234
02:49:40,479 --> 02:49:47,160
lady that just purchased the property
now is your time to

2235
02:49:43,760 --> 02:49:47,160

2238
02:50:04,399 --> 02:50:10,800
but i will just speak today uh very nice
to meet you all and thank you for

2239
02:50:08,880 --> 02:50:15,840
providing this opportunity to meet with
you all and share my perspective it was

2240
02:50:13,600 --> 02:50:21,279
great to meet mr flora and his team
yesterday and to hear his support so uh

2241
02:50:18,960 --> 02:50:25,359
we're really immensely thankful for that
my name is as they all mentioned my my

2242
02:50:23,359 --> 02:50:29,680
name is rupa shaker very new to clear
lake little story to share that i shared

2243
02:50:27,439 --> 02:50:32,800
with everyone yesterday that i visited
clear lake with my family my two girls

2244
02:50:31,520 --> 02:50:36,479
and my husband
in the month of april for a spring break

2245
02:50:34,800 --> 02:50:39,439
tell in love with your town and fell in
love with your lake

2246
02:50:37,840 --> 02:50:43,600
and since then i was kind of scrolling
on veteran and

2247
02:50:40,800 --> 02:50:48,720
uh onsite online to look for lakeside
properties and then these two came along

2248
02:50:46,319 --> 02:50:54,960
which is the one four five two five and
one four five four when we were excited

2249
02:50:52,160 --> 02:51:00,319
and with big dreams we decided to
invest in your town on in these

2250
02:50:57,279 --> 02:51:04,319
properties with a with a plan to make
this as a place to go

2251
02:51:02,319 --> 02:51:07,040
for business shopping dining and
entertainment

2252
02:51:05,680 --> 02:51:11,840
i've seen the
commercial unit and the pictures that

2253
02:51:09,359 --> 02:51:14,960
was taken in 2018 looks much worse than
what i've seen

2254
02:51:13,200 --> 02:51:19,359
um because everything in the interior
has been cleaned out since then i want

2255
02:51:17,520 --> 02:51:24,399
to make this a place for a hangout for
tourists and look likes that's our dream

2256
02:51:22,000 --> 02:51:27,920
we closed our escrow just less than a
month ago

2257
02:51:25,680 --> 02:51:32,479
just few weeks ago and it was a
nightmare for us to hear that this

2258
02:51:30,479 --> 02:51:37,680
discussion is happening in the city
which we were not aware of

2259
02:51:34,399 --> 02:51:42,640
and we have already taken some steps to
uh uh you know improve the property you

2260
02:51:40,160 --> 02:51:47,760
know small steps but still we removed
the junk inside the property and outside

2261
02:51:44,560 --> 02:51:52,080
the property we uh boarded the place so
that no i like i know where the homeless

2262
02:51:50,160 --> 02:51:56,160
people are hanging out and trashing the
place to avoid vandalism

2263
02:51:54,160 --> 02:52:00,720
we have replaced the door at the back
and we do know about the water damage

2264
02:51:58,880 --> 02:52:05,200
and then the electrical outlet problems
we will address that soon

2265
02:52:02,720 --> 02:52:08,000
we kindly request you all to
give us some time

2266
02:52:06,800 --> 02:52:11,359
to
make sure that the properties are taken

2267
02:52:10,240 --> 02:52:16,479
care well
it takes a long time but will take small

2268
02:52:14,080 --> 02:52:20,960
steps towards the improvement
so i just wanted to kind of request that

2269
02:52:18,800 --> 02:52:25,439
we are given extra time rather than
hasting and demolishing and investing

2270
02:52:22,800 --> 02:52:30,399
the 55 000 which could be
used for a different better purposes to

2271
02:52:28,160 --> 02:52:33,279
improve the economy of the clear lake
that's all i have to say thank you for

2272
02:52:32,080 --> 02:52:36,399
listening to me
thank you

2273
02:52:34,479 --> 02:52:41,439
are there any other
people on the public that wants to speak

2274
02:52:38,880 --> 02:52:45,040
on this issue right here
there are no further hands raised in the

2275
02:52:43,120 --> 02:52:49,520
zoom we have one
public menu yeah

2276
02:52:47,680 --> 02:52:54,080
mr huge
thank you uh

2277
02:52:51,279 --> 02:52:58,560
mr mayor and city council uh dave hughes
realty world

2278
02:52:56,080 --> 02:53:03,200
i got involved in this last week
when an architect that was up here to

2279
02:53:01,359 --> 02:53:07,920
working with the
rupa and her husband

2280
02:53:05,840 --> 02:53:12,720
called me and wanted to meet at the
property after he got done meeting at

2281
02:53:10,080 --> 02:53:12,720
city hall

2282
02:53:14,080 --> 02:53:20,640
i have suggested to the
buyers that they go back to the agent

2283
02:53:18,960 --> 02:53:26,479
that they worked through
and find out why they weren't told about

2284
02:53:23,840 --> 02:53:30,160
the ongoing issues
that's a pretty significant

2285
02:53:28,240 --> 02:53:34,640
non-disclosure
so

2286
02:53:32,240 --> 02:53:39,200
i would like to concur with her and
and ask that the city council give her

2287
02:53:36,640 --> 02:53:45,680
some time to start trying to figure out
what the heck they can do or can't do or

2288
02:53:41,840 --> 02:53:50,640
should do or might want to do
my other thought is

2289
02:53:47,600 --> 02:53:57,120
i'm assuming that a bid
to demolish the building has to be done

2290
02:53:54,240 --> 02:54:00,399
uh if the city gets the bid with
prevailing wage

2291
02:53:58,880 --> 02:54:04,080
and
if it comes to the fact that the

2292
02:54:02,160 --> 02:54:10,080
building needs to be demolished i think
the property owner should be given the

2293
02:54:06,399 --> 02:54:15,120
opportunity to get her own bids
that might be a little less costly i

2294
02:54:12,880 --> 02:54:21,439
have no idea but i'm assuming that the
bid had to be prevailing wage

2295
02:54:17,600 --> 02:54:26,800
and i understand maybe the
desire to keep some fire under someone's

2296
02:54:24,160 --> 02:54:31,680
feet and keep some pressure on to to get
something done because it's been three

2297
02:54:29,680 --> 02:54:35,359
years now
but

2298
02:54:32,720 --> 02:54:38,800
we do have a new property owner that had
no idea about the

2299
02:54:37,279 --> 02:54:44,800
um
uh ongoing i mean her her architect told

2300
02:54:42,640 --> 02:54:48,479
them last week after they closed escrow
about

2301
02:54:46,319 --> 02:54:52,560
the the city wanting to demolish the
building

2302
02:54:49,520 --> 02:54:55,920
so my my only purpose here is to
certainly give them some time to do it

2303
02:54:54,640 --> 02:55:00,560
and maybe
not accept the bids um

2304
02:54:58,800 --> 02:55:03,600
with the understanding that if there's
not ongoing progress the city is going

2305
02:55:02,880 --> 02:55:08,000
to
press for the demolition

2306
02:55:05,520 --> 02:55:11,840
uh but at least maybe give them the
opportunity to get their own bids which

2307
02:55:10,080 --> 02:55:14,399
might be less money i'd like i said i
don't know but i'm assuming prevailing

2308
02:55:13,520 --> 02:55:18,240
wage
is is part of the bids that have been

2309
02:55:16,240 --> 02:55:23,279
submitted
thank you thank you uh

2310
02:55:20,720 --> 02:55:28,160
mr president product has a comment well
just a question to the new property

2311
02:55:24,880 --> 02:55:33,279
owner is it probably curing close no
it's not closed yet

2312
02:55:31,120 --> 02:55:36,640
can you uh provide us with some sort of
a timeline when you said you wanted to

2313
02:55:35,279 --> 02:55:41,200
get this work done
uh and you wanted to get um on it fairly

2314
02:55:39,200 --> 02:55:44,880
soon but we didn't have any timelines
you have any idea when that when you

2315
02:55:42,960 --> 02:55:49,359
might be able to get started
so to be honest with you i have a as a

2316
02:55:47,600 --> 02:55:54,640
as uh mr
dave kind of mentioned i had my article

2317
02:55:51,600 --> 02:55:59,439
come over look at it and i have a um you
know workers were started to work on it

2318
02:55:56,880 --> 02:56:02,720
with making some minor modifications to
it

2319
02:56:00,319 --> 02:56:05,840
as i shared with miss flora and team
this

2320
02:56:03,600 --> 02:56:11,200
property you know cost money to
accelerate the improvement but i

2321
02:56:08,960 --> 02:56:16,000
what i assure you is that we are
constantly making you i mean i have

2322
02:56:13,120 --> 02:56:19,680
passed the improvements knowing that the
city is demolishing and i didn't want to

2323
02:56:17,520 --> 02:56:24,240
put money into the demolishing property
so if you all give me time and say that

2324
02:56:22,319 --> 02:56:28,640
yes you can continue to modify it and
improve it my work will start from

2325
02:56:26,000 --> 02:56:32,479
monday we will make small improvements
check out the foundation check all the

2326
02:56:30,160 --> 02:56:36,319
electrics check out the plumbing and i
need to fix the

2327
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:41,279
um there are some termite activities i
need to fix those so

2328
02:56:38,560 --> 02:56:45,760
the improvements will start immediately
with a steady progress but i cannot give

2329
02:56:43,760 --> 02:56:50,800
a timeline as to when it will be done
because i just bought the property three

2330
02:56:47,520 --> 02:56:50,800
weeks back and i need time

2331
02:56:51,040 --> 02:56:57,200
okay thank you
yeah and also while i'm on the audio i

2332
02:56:55,040 --> 02:57:01,120
wanted to address the 15451 the
apartment building too

2333
02:56:58,880 --> 02:57:04,080
uh even on that property we have started
off

2334
02:57:01,920 --> 02:57:07,680
improvements meaning that last week we
cleaned up the property took out the

2335
02:57:05,520 --> 02:57:12,560
junks cleaning the vegetation
we will install a new fence and then the

2336
02:57:10,160 --> 02:57:17,279
glue overflowing garbage is due to two
reasons one is that it's an apartment

2337
02:57:15,120 --> 02:57:21,279
complex and that particular garbage bin
is smaller from what i understand from

2338
02:57:18,880 --> 02:57:25,600
my tenants and also i hear that a lot of
public dumping because it's right on the

2339
02:57:23,359 --> 02:57:30,399
door many people come and dump other
junks in there so i'm taking the action

2340
02:57:27,920 --> 02:57:34,479
requesting the required a department
within the city to give us a bigger bin

2341
02:57:32,720 --> 02:57:38,160
and probably move the bin to the middle
of the property so that it's not easily

2342
02:57:36,240 --> 02:57:41,520
accessible by the public and when i
install the

2343
02:57:39,600 --> 02:57:45,520
uh fence maybe it'll
be less messy but i do agree with you

2344
02:57:43,520 --> 02:57:50,960
all that the property is not in great
condition uh and it is not clean and i

2345
02:57:48,800 --> 02:57:55,120
commit to make sure those two properties
are taken care and turned around and

2346
02:57:53,600 --> 02:57:58,399
that's the reason why we dreamt of
buying a property in the lakeside and

2347
02:57:56,479 --> 02:58:02,319
improve it and not to maintain the same
way it is otherwise you want about it

2348
02:58:00,240 --> 02:58:06,560
and i know i paid premium for that from
what i hear and what i compare after

2349
02:58:04,560 --> 02:58:10,160
buying it's an aftermath part but i
don't want to i'll learn the past but i

2350
02:58:07,840 --> 02:58:14,319
want to move on
okay thank you um mr kramer your

2351
02:58:12,880 --> 02:58:21,279
councilman graham
just just uh clarification uh rupa

2352
02:58:19,120 --> 02:58:25,840
you've owned the property what less than
a month two weeks

2353
02:58:23,120 --> 02:58:28,800
three weeks yes three weeks running now
and

2354
02:58:26,640 --> 02:58:32,640
did you say that you already have people
in there cleaning it

2355
02:58:30,240 --> 02:58:36,319
working on it oh yeah well yes many work
has already been done

2356
02:58:34,240 --> 02:58:39,520
and i'm painting the i've got the bits
for painting the properties and i

2357
02:58:38,160 --> 02:58:44,000
already as i mentioned made few
modifications the commercial with a new

2358
02:58:41,359 --> 02:58:49,120
door installed from home depot etc
so yes the work has started

2359
02:58:46,479 --> 02:58:52,720
but again i think one of the mayor or
the council member asked me what's the

2360
02:58:51,040 --> 02:58:57,040
timeline i don't have a project plan to
give but what i assure you is that there

2361
02:58:54,880 --> 02:59:00,479
will be progress on a daily basis in
small steps

2362
02:58:59,600 --> 02:59:04,479
thank you
okay any any other

2363
02:59:02,560 --> 02:59:08,479
public comments if not we'll bring them
back to the council mr flora look like

2364
02:59:06,880 --> 02:59:13,920
you want to say something yeah i mean i
just want to clarify i mean you know

2365
02:59:10,560 --> 02:59:19,279
the city isn't looking to spend 55 000
on this if it's not necessary i mean to

2366
02:59:16,800 --> 02:59:23,840
mr hughes's comments of course
if um the current property owner was to

2367
02:59:22,240 --> 02:59:27,359
demolish the building they would be able
to do it

2368
02:59:24,960 --> 02:59:31,439
cheaper than we would
the only way for us to recover the funds

2369
02:59:29,520 --> 02:59:35,680
is through a lien on the property which
we

2370
02:59:33,120 --> 02:59:41,840
it doesn't get paid on unless
the property is transferred normally

2371
02:59:39,359 --> 02:59:44,640
but you know this is a long-standing
issue

2372
02:59:42,880 --> 02:59:49,920
it's one of the worst
looking properties in the city

2373
02:59:47,279 --> 02:59:55,520
in one of our most visible corridors
and while i do believe that

2374
02:59:53,120 --> 02:59:58,240
their intent is good
and

2375
02:59:56,479 --> 03:00:03,600
they have the means to make some
investments in the property i believe

2376
03:00:00,720 --> 03:00:08,000
that the city needs to apply as much
pressure as possible to make sure

2377
03:00:06,000 --> 03:00:13,520
that the cleaning up of
this this um

2378
03:00:10,319 --> 03:00:17,600
this parcel happens and so
you know if we were to move forward with

2379
03:00:15,120 --> 03:00:23,520
the contract because there's a new owner
we'd be required

2380
03:00:20,080 --> 03:00:28,240
to do a new round of noticing
and there will be an opportunity for

2381
03:00:26,720 --> 03:00:32,479
an appeal of the
abatement which could come to the

2382
03:00:30,640 --> 03:00:36,479
council correct
so you know there are some opportunities

2383
03:00:34,720 --> 03:00:42,560
there but
you know i think we need to keep the

2384
03:00:39,920 --> 03:00:47,680
pressure on to make sure that this um
extremely derelict um and extremely

2385
03:00:45,200 --> 03:00:52,479
visible property in the city um is
improved as soon as possible

2386
03:00:50,399 --> 03:00:58,080
more comments from the council
i have a question we happen to have a uh

2387
03:00:56,000 --> 03:01:02,560
our attorney here and i'm concerned
about a an improper taking of property

2388
03:01:00,800 --> 03:01:07,359
or
any any liability issues there well i

2389
03:01:05,520 --> 03:01:12,000
understand your concern and mr floor and
i talked about this

2390
03:01:08,960 --> 03:01:15,439
as recent as last week
i think there was a more of a due

2391
03:01:13,439 --> 03:01:20,960
process and noticing issue
and and we would

2392
03:01:17,520 --> 03:01:24,880
re-notice the new owner with all the
issues that mr ching had been notified

2393
03:01:22,800 --> 03:01:27,439
of for years
and i think as long as you give that

2394
03:01:26,240 --> 03:01:31,520
notice which
could would happen before any demolition

2395
03:01:29,680 --> 03:01:34,479
would actually take place
so that would

2396
03:01:33,279 --> 03:01:38,319
that would need to that would need to
take place otherwise you could have an

2397
03:01:35,840 --> 03:01:44,160
issue of a of a taking or some kind of
what's the timeline for that 60 90 days

2398
03:01:40,800 --> 03:01:46,800
120 days 16. yeah i don't know that our
code says you usually give people a

2399
03:01:45,200 --> 03:01:51,439
reasonable amount of time 30 days 60
days somewhere in that that time frame

2400
03:01:48,160 --> 03:01:56,479
is that about right i'm not sure
yeah there's a variety of uh timelines

2401
03:01:53,600 --> 03:02:00,240
and um if there was new noticing for the
notice of intent to abate and demolish

2402
03:01:58,560 --> 03:02:05,520
there would be a hearing i believe it
would come back before council

2403
03:02:02,800 --> 03:02:05,520
if that happened

2404
03:02:06,960 --> 03:02:09,520
timeline

2405
03:02:09,600 --> 03:02:16,760
for which portion
before we can tear that building down

2406
03:02:17,279 --> 03:02:23,040
well correct me i'm wrong uh lee but i
believe it's going to be 21 days for the

2407
03:02:21,840 --> 03:02:25,920
notice
correct

2408
03:02:24,399 --> 03:02:29,200
yes would be 21 days and then if they
gave notice that they wanted to appeal

2409
03:02:27,120 --> 03:02:32,319
then they'd post their deposit for a
hearing we'd set up for a hearing

2410
03:02:31,200 --> 03:02:35,520
so
you know potentially depend upon how

2411
03:02:33,680 --> 03:02:38,960
long that took out and i believe
city attorney correct me i'm wrong but i

2412
03:02:37,520 --> 03:02:42,399
believe once we made a decision they
could try to take it to court if they've

2413
03:02:40,640 --> 03:02:47,120
exhausted all their rights within the
city in terms of appeal process so

2414
03:02:44,960 --> 03:02:51,439
potentially it could stretch out
um our experience with the property has

2415
03:02:48,640 --> 03:02:55,359
generally been little to no response or
what i call informal kind of out-of-band

2416
03:02:53,359 --> 03:02:59,760
responses like showing up in the lobby
that sort of thing

2417
03:02:58,240 --> 03:03:03,520
and if we're talking about the old owner
i'd say let's go for it at this point

2418
03:03:01,760 --> 03:03:07,840
but we're not we're talking about
somebody that just bought it has clearly

2419
03:03:06,160 --> 03:03:12,399
shown an intent to try to do what's
right

2420
03:03:08,880 --> 03:03:16,080
and it seems to me that to award this
contract right now is probably not going

2421
03:03:14,560 --> 03:03:21,600
to happen anyway because with the
timelines for noticing for

2422
03:03:18,720 --> 03:03:26,399
appeals etc etc so
i i just i don't see what we're

2423
03:03:23,680 --> 03:03:29,920
accomplishing i understand mr flora your
your

2424
03:03:27,359 --> 03:03:34,960
desire to keep pressure on
but i i just i don't i don't see it and

2425
03:03:32,880 --> 03:03:39,040
i don't agree with it i think that she
should be given she and her partner

2426
03:03:37,120 --> 03:03:43,040
should be given
time to perform or not

2427
03:03:41,680 --> 03:03:46,560
and it's not going to take us three
years obviously to let that happen it's

2428
03:03:45,279 --> 03:03:50,960
gonna
it's not gonna let it go that long but i

2429
03:03:48,880 --> 03:03:54,720
don't think that this contract could can
happen in 90 days

2430
03:03:52,840 --> 03:03:57,359
anyway
so

2431
03:03:55,600 --> 03:04:02,080
i'm not in favor of it
also woman overton

2432
03:03:59,520 --> 03:04:06,080
i i agree
i guess my one of my questions to the

2433
03:04:04,399 --> 03:04:09,760
new owner is
um did you not see this place before you

2434
03:04:08,240 --> 03:04:14,399
bought it
yes we did visit the place and when we

2435
03:04:12,880 --> 03:04:18,000
visit the place it was not like the
picture that was shown

2436
03:04:15,920 --> 03:04:22,960
the roof was taken out the roof the
floor was taken out there was little uh

2437
03:04:20,800 --> 03:04:28,800
like the table tables and chairs from
the restaurant with stove etcetera so we

2438
03:04:26,160 --> 03:04:32,399
knew it was a fixer-upper but
we thought that you know it's a

2439
03:04:29,840 --> 03:04:36,080
fixer-upper so we'll start fixing up and
we will turn it around and

2440
03:04:34,560 --> 03:04:41,840
because we're not gotten the mortgage
from the bank our intent is to get this

2441
03:04:39,279 --> 03:04:45,600
ready get this rented i can start paying
my market so

2442
03:04:44,080 --> 03:04:49,680
the plan is to move it around quickly
and i would like to support miss flora

2443
03:04:48,160 --> 03:04:53,760
with his uh
expectation and work with him and keep

2444
03:04:51,840 --> 03:04:57,520
him updated on a regular basis of the
progress we make

2445
03:04:55,279 --> 03:05:04,479
and i want to support him
okay so can i ask a question here

2446
03:05:01,439 --> 03:05:08,080
can we postpone this to another meeting
without making a vote on it today and

2447
03:05:06,399 --> 03:05:12,160
just postpone it and see what she does
before we just say we're not going to do

2448
03:05:10,319 --> 03:05:17,279
anything
can we table this well of course yeah i

2449
03:05:14,880 --> 03:05:20,399
mean i say let's see what she does in a
couple of weeks and

2450
03:05:18,800 --> 03:05:23,359
and i mean
you know the

2451
03:05:21,439 --> 03:05:27,520
none of the violations have been cured
so

2452
03:05:24,240 --> 03:05:32,800
um they have uh i don't know
if you discussed anything um

2453
03:05:30,800 --> 03:05:35,760
yesterday with
you know how long they have to cure the

2454
03:05:34,240 --> 03:05:38,640
violations but i mean there's going to
be

2455
03:05:36,479 --> 03:05:43,840
other timelines
i i'm just exhausted with this property

2456
03:05:41,760 --> 03:05:48,080
and i think
you know any daylight is too much

2457
03:05:45,840 --> 03:05:53,680
daylight in my opinion but
and i'm i understand your frustration

2458
03:05:51,120 --> 03:05:56,160
it's just this is like the last place
in this town

2459
03:05:55,040 --> 03:05:59,279
that
can still have entertainment i mean

2460
03:05:58,319 --> 03:06:05,200
literally
we keep asking for people to come to our

2461
03:06:02,399 --> 03:06:08,240
city but we have nothing to offer them
and here's another building that we're

2462
03:06:06,560 --> 03:06:12,800
going to take out the last building that
we have for entertainment

2463
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:17,279
i i i want to give her a chance to get
it i understand that that our the past

2464
03:06:15,520 --> 03:06:20,880
owner was a real pain
um but i want to give her a chance and

2465
03:06:19,200 --> 03:06:23,520
i've i've seen this happen where we
voted on something and the administrator

2466
03:06:22,479 --> 03:06:28,880
said i'm not going to do anything and
next thing you know it was gone so um

2467
03:06:26,800 --> 03:06:32,880
i just i feel like either we table it
and see what she does and

2468
03:06:30,880 --> 03:06:37,359
and give her at least a little bit of a
chance give her one month or something

2469
03:06:34,479 --> 03:06:41,439
to to see if you know what she can do
and then if we don't see a good progress

2470
03:06:39,840 --> 03:06:46,319
then come back and bring it back to us
you know

2471
03:06:43,439 --> 03:06:49,279
i thought chief white had a cook
i just i i don't want to interfere with

2472
03:06:47,680 --> 03:06:52,319
your deliberation but i did want to make
the final plea at it and i think that

2473
03:06:51,279 --> 03:06:55,520
the
commentary during the public comment is

2474
03:06:53,920 --> 03:06:58,800
is illustrative there's a mention about
that they've already begun boarding up

2475
03:06:56,800 --> 03:07:01,760
the building your council authorizes
ordinance that specifically prohibits

2476
03:07:00,319 --> 03:07:05,200
that without a permit because we don't
want boarded up buildings in the city

2477
03:07:03,760 --> 03:07:09,439
there's no indication in the record that
there's any attempt to obtain a permit

2478
03:07:07,200 --> 03:07:12,640
or comply with the city codes
from just an objective perspective of

2479
03:07:11,279 --> 03:07:18,080
watching these things i heard a lot of
discussion about well-intentioned and so

2480
03:07:15,040 --> 03:07:20,720
forth and that may very well be the case
however

2481
03:07:19,760 --> 03:07:23,920
the
lack of any basic checking i mean you

2482
03:07:22,720 --> 03:07:27,760
saw the picture with the notice of
violation stacked on the front door and

2483
03:07:25,760 --> 03:07:33,439
everything else there's very serious
issues here and i think that um you know

2484
03:07:30,399 --> 03:07:35,920
at this point from the staff perspective
we've come to you because we've

2485
03:07:34,319 --> 03:07:39,840
essentially done most everything that we
can do we can leverage with some more

2486
03:07:37,439 --> 03:07:44,080
citations and so forth and i'd expect
actually following this meeting that we

2487
03:07:41,200 --> 03:07:48,479
will initiate a whole new set of actions
based upon what's existing there and

2488
03:07:45,520 --> 03:07:54,000
what new violations have been disclosed
i think that it's important

2489
03:07:51,439 --> 03:07:58,560
when we get to these phases to
have some sort of tool to try to compel

2490
03:07:56,319 --> 03:08:02,800
that compliance my fear is that
we wait another month we'll be right

2491
03:08:00,720 --> 03:08:07,040
back at the same situation trying to ask
for the same authority and so forth

2492
03:08:05,120 --> 03:08:10,399
and we just continue to kind of push the
problem down the road i think from the

2493
03:08:08,960 --> 03:08:14,399
staff intent i don't want to spend a
dime trying to clean up this property if

2494
03:08:12,800 --> 03:08:17,600
we can try to compel it obviously i
think there's good points we already

2495
03:08:15,600 --> 03:08:21,680
discussed internally
about the fact they could do it at

2496
03:08:19,359 --> 03:08:25,279
non-prevailing wage rates and so forth
um but it's important that we have a

2497
03:08:23,120 --> 03:08:29,359
tool if we don't have that tool i hear a
lot of excuses on there even related to

2498
03:08:27,200 --> 03:08:32,160
the other property uh since they brought
up

2499
03:08:30,640 --> 03:08:36,399
every other city that i've been at you
have stuff enclosed in concrete barriers

2500
03:08:34,240 --> 03:08:39,120
with doors there's no attempt to do that
out there

2501
03:08:37,520 --> 03:08:42,160
and so i think that's the same type of
issues that we see here a lot of good

2502
03:08:40,960 --> 03:08:45,279
intentions but i've seen a lot of
projects come into the city in the three

2503
03:08:43,600 --> 03:08:49,120
years that i've been here that are well
intentioned

2504
03:08:46,479 --> 03:08:52,880
but very basic elementary discovery
things weren't done we have people that

2505
03:08:50,720 --> 03:08:58,240
buy houses here that call into code
enforcement and ask do you have open

2506
03:08:54,240 --> 03:09:01,279
cases and so forth so um i hope that
it turns out differently but

2507
03:09:00,080 --> 03:09:05,359
from the police department and code
enforcement perspective we would plead

2508
03:09:03,359 --> 03:09:10,160
that you give the city manager
the authority to move forward if it's

2509
03:09:07,680 --> 03:09:13,600
necessary in this particular case
hopefully it won't be and we'll all be

2510
03:09:11,680 --> 03:09:18,080
surprised thank you
uh councilman claffy we haven't heard

2511
03:09:16,240 --> 03:09:21,359
from you on this uh you have any
comments

2512
03:09:19,359 --> 03:09:25,279
yeah i'm just listening to the the back
and forth i'm i'm

2513
03:09:22,960 --> 03:09:27,920
i'm comfortable tabling for now
um

2514
03:09:26,160 --> 03:09:32,640
you know i think three weeks is a very
short time

2515
03:09:30,000 --> 03:09:35,600
to to start making changes it sounds
like there's a lot of changes that need

2516
03:09:34,000 --> 03:09:39,439
to be made it sounds like there's a lot
of research that needs to be done by the

2517
03:09:37,120 --> 03:09:44,800
owner and i think if we
if we keep that window tight we'll still

2518
03:09:41,439 --> 03:09:50,080
be able to activate this bid
in a future council meeting i i don't

2519
03:09:47,120 --> 03:09:53,760
see a downside to tabling it uh
re-noticing this owner and then moving

2520
03:09:52,479 --> 03:09:56,399
forward if we need to if we're not
seeing progress

2521
03:09:56,880 --> 03:10:02,880
all right thank you
councilman claffy vice mayor product i

2522
03:10:01,359 --> 03:10:06,960
just need some clarification and i
apologize but

2523
03:10:05,200 --> 03:10:10,800
if we approve this tonight
and we have a 90-day contract with the

2524
03:10:09,120 --> 03:10:14,640
contra with the
demo

2525
03:10:12,560 --> 03:10:17,760
um
when would you implement when would you

2526
03:10:16,560 --> 03:10:21,120
when you would you
have them come in and demo

2527
03:10:19,920 --> 03:10:24,319
um
would it be immediate after making this

2528
03:10:22,960 --> 03:10:28,399
decision
or would you

2529
03:10:25,520 --> 03:10:31,760
allow the new new owner to get the
permits as the chief has pointed out the

2530
03:10:30,319 --> 03:10:35,359
chief made a very compelling argument
just now

2531
03:10:33,040 --> 03:10:35,359
um

2532
03:10:35,439 --> 03:10:43,920
i just want to know um reasonableness
on this what would a reasonable person

2533
03:10:39,920 --> 03:10:43,920
do well i mean i think um

2534
03:10:44,080 --> 03:10:51,760
you know until
yesterday the new owners didn't have the

2535
03:10:49,040 --> 03:10:55,200
list of existing violations
um

2536
03:10:52,960 --> 03:10:58,479
and so obviously we need to provide a
little bit of time i mean what we

2537
03:10:56,720 --> 03:11:02,960
discussed was the first thing you need
to do i mean we had some discussion

2538
03:11:00,800 --> 03:11:06,319
about what happens next and what their
vision is for the property and all that

2539
03:11:04,319 --> 03:11:10,080
that's great but you know we have all
these violations that have to be cured

2540
03:11:08,160 --> 03:11:14,319
somehow which are you know are way past
due so

2541
03:11:11,680 --> 03:11:18,160
they need to come back with a plan um
right that's what i was asking about

2542
03:11:16,399 --> 03:11:21,920
how to deal with that so
you know i think there's no reason that

2543
03:11:20,479 --> 03:11:24,960
they shouldn't be able to develop some
type of plan on that in a couple of

2544
03:11:23,600 --> 03:11:28,800
weeks
talking with the contractor are they

2545
03:11:26,640 --> 03:11:33,200
already have you know consulted with an
architect so

2546
03:11:30,240 --> 03:11:37,439
um you know i really uh
think that there should be a

2547
03:11:34,240 --> 03:11:42,240
determination made within a few weeks on
whether it's even feasible to keep the

2548
03:11:39,840 --> 03:11:46,800
building or if they want to begin
investing in

2549
03:11:44,800 --> 03:11:51,680
in resolving those things i mean you
know i i hope i was clear like

2550
03:11:49,600 --> 03:11:55,600
my intention wouldn't be or you know the
staff's intention to turn around next

2551
03:11:53,840 --> 03:12:00,000
week and issue
the um abatement contract as much as i

2552
03:11:58,319 --> 03:12:05,200
would love to see
or never see that building again but um

2553
03:12:02,960 --> 03:12:09,200
you know obviously the the situation
here while you know it's clear there

2554
03:12:07,120 --> 03:12:13,840
wasn't no enough due diligence done i
believe you know a short window

2555
03:12:11,600 --> 03:12:18,399
is reasonable for them to try and
attempt this i'm just concerned as chief

2556
03:12:16,240 --> 03:12:21,279
white mentioned um
you know i think

2557
03:12:21,439 --> 03:12:28,960
you know the the council has always been
really good about drawing a firm line on

2558
03:12:26,720 --> 03:12:34,160
these code enforcement cases because the
blight has overtaken the city for years

2559
03:12:32,800 --> 03:12:39,279
and
you know i just think

2560
03:12:36,800 --> 03:12:41,520
the pressure to perform needs to be
there

2561
03:12:41,920 --> 03:12:49,200
that's my
you have some more go ahead mr graham

2562
03:12:47,520 --> 03:12:53,200
chief white you do make a compelling
argument and if we were talking about

2563
03:12:50,960 --> 03:12:57,520
the old owner i absolutely totally agree
with you again we're not

2564
03:12:55,279 --> 03:13:01,040
uh to table this for two weeks and give
her an opportunity to come up with some

2565
03:12:59,359 --> 03:13:04,160
sort of a plan or maybe come up the
conclusion that oh christ we can't do

2566
03:13:02,720 --> 03:13:07,200
anything like this
let's give her that two weeks it's

2567
03:13:05,520 --> 03:13:10,479
what's it gonna hurt you're still within
your window to

2568
03:13:08,640 --> 03:13:14,399
to approve the
the demolition contract with the with

2569
03:13:12,720 --> 03:13:19,760
the contractor
so i i very much would like to see his

2570
03:13:17,200 --> 03:13:19,760
table list

2571
03:13:20,800 --> 03:13:25,600
and that's all i had to say
um

2572
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:30,800
i went in the building after they kind
of cleaned it up and it's in my opinion

2573
03:13:29,439 --> 03:13:34,239
and i'm not an expert i'm not a
structural engineer i'm not a thing

2574
03:13:33,200 --> 03:13:38,479
uh
i i really

2575
03:13:36,160 --> 03:13:44,800
don't see how they can fix this building
up with a substantial

2576
03:13:41,840 --> 03:13:48,479
a lot of structural improvements
this is a building that needs hundreds

2577
03:13:46,800 --> 03:13:52,800
of thousands of dollars
in order to save it

2578
03:13:50,239 --> 03:13:52,800
so i

2579
03:13:53,359 --> 03:13:58,000
obviously
we want to

2580
03:13:56,160 --> 03:14:02,160
give the new owner
a chance

2581
03:14:00,000 --> 03:14:07,760
and if they address them
citations in a

2582
03:14:04,720 --> 03:14:13,600
two or three week time frame
if that's if they're willing to uh

2583
03:14:11,040 --> 03:14:17,680
to invest that kind of money in and
reboot in

2584
03:14:15,439 --> 03:14:21,279
remodeling and upgrading that building
more power to them because i wouldn't

2585
03:14:22,399 --> 03:14:27,600
so what do we have
we have three people that want to table

2586
03:14:25,840 --> 03:14:31,920
that so how do we do that
mr uh

2587
03:14:30,080 --> 03:14:37,680
i think you just don't need to take any
action no action no action okay

2588
03:14:35,040 --> 03:14:42,399
all right looks like the new owner has
probably three weeks to deal with this

2589
03:14:40,960 --> 03:14:46,080
thank you very much
we appreciate you well hold on mr mayor

2590
03:14:44,960 --> 03:14:50,560
do you intend to bring that back to
council

2591
03:14:47,840 --> 03:14:54,720
i i it all depends on what happens
in the next few weeks if nothing happens

2592
03:14:52,560 --> 03:14:58,960
you'll bring this back
would you like to get yes

2593
03:14:56,960 --> 03:15:03,359
yes bring it back yes we will
like to hear it again

2594
03:15:00,479 --> 03:15:08,160
all right we'll go to item number
18

2595
03:15:05,359 --> 03:15:10,560
mr allen florence
jordan

2596
03:15:10,720 --> 03:15:18,720
okay uh mr mayor members of the council
um so

2597
03:15:14,720 --> 03:15:18,720
i'll be brief on this but um

2598
03:15:19,040 --> 03:15:28,319
you know we've we've been uh
so mli associates uh which uh mr matt

2599
03:15:25,920 --> 03:15:33,520
patel is the sole owner
um is a an experienced um hotel

2600
03:15:30,960 --> 03:15:37,200
developer and we've been talking to him
for a while about a couple of project

2601
03:15:35,439 --> 03:15:40,399
opportunities in the city
um

2602
03:15:38,080 --> 03:15:44,239
most recently um
we've been negotiating about developing

2603
03:15:42,880 --> 03:15:47,359
a hotel
at the former pierce field on

2604
03:15:45,920 --> 03:15:50,720
approximately two and a half acres of
land

2605
03:15:48,720 --> 03:15:54,479
we have been able to negotiate a
purchase and sale agreement with mr

2606
03:15:53,120 --> 03:15:58,880
patel
and

2607
03:15:55,760 --> 03:16:03,760
so i can kind of go over
a few of the points hopefully you've had

2608
03:16:00,880 --> 03:16:07,359
a chance to review the agreement um
one thing

2609
03:16:04,880 --> 03:16:12,319
taking a look at the map the well so
first of all the

2610
03:16:09,040 --> 03:16:15,600
proposed project would be a 75 room
fairfield inn

2611
03:16:14,000 --> 03:16:22,000
with a small conference center and
possibly some other retail on the site

2612
03:16:18,800 --> 03:16:26,560
um and just for context this site is on
the far northern part of the property

2613
03:16:24,319 --> 03:16:31,279
that's owned by the city at the end of
the former runway

2614
03:16:28,560 --> 03:16:35,600
and um so the sale price for the
probably 305 thousand the city would

2615
03:16:33,680 --> 03:16:40,800
hold a note
um on so there would be a 50 000

2616
03:16:38,800 --> 03:16:43,279
uh
payment made

2617
03:16:42,080 --> 03:16:48,160
and then
the city would hold a note on the rest

2618
03:16:45,680 --> 03:16:53,520
the way the agreement is structured is
there be a number of deadlines

2619
03:16:51,359 --> 03:16:58,640
the first one being 14 months after
closing

2620
03:16:54,640 --> 03:17:04,160
to get all entitlements complete
20 months after closing

2621
03:17:01,760 --> 03:17:04,160
would be

2622
03:17:04,800 --> 03:17:11,439
to begin construction and then the total
project would need to be complete within

2623
03:17:10,160 --> 03:17:14,479
three years
and if those each of those deadlines are

2624
03:17:13,680 --> 03:17:17,520
met
the remaining

2625
03:17:16,319 --> 03:17:21,840
payments
on the note would be forgiven and this

2626
03:17:19,840 --> 03:17:26,720
is just a way to
you know this is kind of our

2627
03:17:24,239 --> 03:17:32,960
first tangible project moving forward at
the airport so there is increased risk

2628
03:17:29,760 --> 03:17:36,720
on the developer in in taking that first
step

2629
03:17:34,720 --> 03:17:39,520
we have a number of other things in
process that we're excited about we'll

2630
03:17:38,640 --> 03:17:44,239
be
coming forward soon

2631
03:17:41,359 --> 03:17:48,399
um but anyway that's the the way that we
had structured this deal that showed

2632
03:17:46,000 --> 03:17:50,880
some commitment from mr patel
and then the city

2633
03:17:49,760 --> 03:17:55,200
will be
installing infrastructure

2634
03:17:53,279 --> 03:18:00,399
essentially to the site
as we have intended with the other

2635
03:17:58,160 --> 03:18:05,359
developer parcels
there on in the whole area so

2636
03:18:03,520 --> 03:18:10,960
i guess with that i'll just try to
address any questions that the council

2637
03:18:07,680 --> 03:18:16,640
has and then i know mr patel is is here
on zoom so he may want to make some some

2638
03:18:13,439 --> 03:18:16,640
comments to the council as well

2639
03:18:18,800 --> 03:18:23,640
david
mr

2640
03:18:32,239 --> 03:18:36,880
you might
zoom

2641
03:18:44,399 --> 03:18:52,720
do we have any
public comments on this item madam clerk

2642
03:18:50,880 --> 03:18:54,800
go ahead mr patel if you'd like to make
some comments

2643
03:18:54,080 --> 03:18:59,600
uh
thank you now uh good afternoon good

2644
03:18:56,960 --> 03:19:04,000
evening mr mayor uh council members
uh chief

2645
03:19:02,080 --> 03:19:07,200
gentlemen it's been a pleasure working
with

2646
03:19:05,439 --> 03:19:12,080
alan and the rest of the team over the
last few months uh just to let you know

2647
03:19:10,000 --> 03:19:15,439
that marriott committee has approved the
site for fairfield and so this is part

2648
03:19:13,920 --> 03:19:18,239
of the marriott product
and

2649
03:19:16,960 --> 03:19:22,960
you know we're looking forward to
developing and uh building that uh

2650
03:19:20,560 --> 03:19:26,560
relationship with the city for a long
time here and uh i had multiple

2651
03:19:25,359 --> 03:19:30,239
conversations with the different
individuals including uh rachel and mark

2652
03:19:29,359 --> 03:19:36,080
king
uh who's also working with the financing

2653
03:19:33,520 --> 03:19:40,399
and then also construction i've been
working with the bridges construction so

2654
03:19:38,239 --> 03:19:44,960
most of the individuals i've been
working with this all local so i intend

2655
03:19:42,960 --> 03:19:48,640
to utilize most of the
local trade i hear local individuals and

2656
03:19:47,840 --> 03:19:52,880
uh
trying to

2657
03:19:49,920 --> 03:19:52,880
support the community

2658
03:19:53,520 --> 03:20:01,920
thank you uh do we have any other
comments from the public

2659
03:19:57,279 --> 03:20:05,920
i received two emailed comments mr mayor
which i can read out loud if you wish

2660
03:20:03,840 --> 03:20:09,600
please do
the first is from sarah mcnabb who

2661
03:20:08,479 --> 03:20:13,439
states
i've been living in this county all my

2662
03:20:11,439 --> 03:20:17,680
life and since the fires have started
there has been a major issue with

2663
03:20:15,520 --> 03:20:21,840
housing i've been looking for a
three-bedroom house apartment for about

2664
03:20:20,080 --> 03:20:25,439
four years seeing as i have three
children

2665
03:20:22,960 --> 03:20:28,560
ten-year-old boy and two girls thirteen
four

2666
03:20:26,239 --> 03:20:32,560
and i've been stuck in a two bedroom in
the clear lake apartments for 14 years

2667
03:20:30,720 --> 03:20:37,439
which is falling apart
i can't find anything under 1800 and

2668
03:20:34,880 --> 03:20:41,200
more and more people keep moving here so
as a long time resident i don't think we

2669
03:20:39,279 --> 03:20:46,560
need another hotel that's going to turn
into a drug addict filled flop hotel

2670
03:20:44,720 --> 03:20:51,439
we need more housing like apartments
nice ones or condos something

2671
03:20:49,680 --> 03:20:56,319
there are
a lot of family that are struggling are

2672
03:20:53,359 --> 03:20:59,760
homeless because the lack of housing
think about the community for once and

2673
03:20:58,399 --> 03:21:04,319
not tourists
because we get those anyway

2674
03:21:02,239 --> 03:21:08,960
this town has turned into a miniature
oakland or even worse detroit sorry for

2675
03:21:06,800 --> 03:21:14,880
being so blunt but it is the reality for
the low income and the sad minimum wage

2676
03:21:11,760 --> 03:21:21,600
pay we get around here
the second is from wyatt harris

2677
03:21:17,439 --> 03:21:25,840
who states isn't 305 000 low for a 2.5
acre commercial property especially when

2678
03:21:24,000 --> 03:21:29,680
the city will probably spend more money
on the promised

2679
03:21:27,520 --> 03:21:34,880
new utilities infrastructure and roads
to the site why isn't purchasing this

2680
03:21:32,560 --> 03:21:38,479
property open to the public
and that concludes the emailed comments

2681
03:21:36,640 --> 03:21:43,120
that i've received and i don't see that
there are any hands raised on zoom

2682
03:21:41,760 --> 03:21:48,160
all right we'll bring it back to the
council do you have any more

2683
03:21:45,040 --> 03:21:48,160
discussion at the council

2684
03:21:50,800 --> 03:21:56,000
bought this property am i not correct
it's been for sale for it's been as long

2685
03:21:54,560 --> 03:22:01,120
as i can remember
way too long um there is one point

2686
03:21:58,399 --> 03:22:07,200
though that i forgot to mention that um
so

2687
03:22:02,160 --> 03:22:12,720
the existing parcel is um 200 feet wide
the

2688
03:22:08,000 --> 03:22:12,720
fairfield plan requires 240 foot

2689
03:22:13,120 --> 03:22:19,279
site
so there's some paper roads on both

2690
03:22:16,479 --> 03:22:24,239
sides of that parcel so
the agreement envisions that we will

2691
03:22:21,760 --> 03:22:27,760
abandon the right-of-way and
on one side

2692
03:22:26,080 --> 03:22:32,479
some of it will go
to other city parcels some will go to

2693
03:22:30,399 --> 03:22:36,319
this property
he's agreed to go ahead and enter into

2694
03:22:34,640 --> 03:22:40,000
the agreement with us while we're
undertaking that but our city engineers

2695
03:22:38,399 --> 03:22:43,439
already been working on that process and
there'll be a public hearing and whatnot

2696
03:22:41,520 --> 03:22:47,680
that would would come back and finalize
that road abandonment so i just want to

2697
03:22:45,680 --> 03:22:50,720
make sure the council knew about that
all right

2698
03:22:49,279 --> 03:22:56,880
okay one more
okay so this is for the gentleman that

2699
03:22:52,800 --> 03:23:01,920
was on his comment um many cities give
property for development it's very

2700
03:22:59,439 --> 03:23:07,200
common and put the infrastructure in and
everything when it was going to provide

2701
03:23:04,160 --> 03:23:11,680
taxes and jobs and and bring in people
especially hotels so

2702
03:23:09,600 --> 03:23:15,359
years ago i said give the property to
anybody that will develop and give us

2703
03:23:13,279 --> 03:23:20,160
jobs and bring in you know some some
money to our city so that we can develop

2704
03:23:17,200 --> 03:23:23,680
our parks and stuff like that um this
this person's taking a big chance on the

2705
03:23:22,640 --> 03:23:27,760
property
uh it may you know it's been sitting

2706
03:23:25,520 --> 03:23:32,960
there for years and it may end up being
a failure for him so we have to you know

2707
03:23:31,359 --> 03:23:37,359
take the chance too but we want to
develop that and this is the first step

2708
03:23:34,720 --> 03:23:41,439
of as far as i can see is really getting
interest in developing when one person

2709
03:23:39,359 --> 03:23:44,960
starts then other
other entities start following in

2710
03:23:43,680 --> 03:23:48,239
because they see something's going to
happen so i really do believe

2711
03:23:47,439 --> 03:23:52,319
if i didn't think it was going to
benefit our community i would not

2712
03:23:50,080 --> 03:23:56,479
approve this but i i think this is a
good way to get that property started

2713
03:23:54,080 --> 03:23:56,479
developed

2714
03:23:56,880 --> 03:24:05,680
okay thank you councilman cramer i
completely concur with what councilwoman

2715
03:24:02,560 --> 03:24:10,399
overton just said i i was going to say
it myself she lead me to it

2716
03:24:08,319 --> 03:24:15,040
um if you're ready to entertain a motion
i'm ready to make one i want to see if

2717
03:24:12,399 --> 03:24:18,960
mr claffy has any comments well i i

2721

i guess this is mr dave sports item
mr schwartz is going to start and then

2729
03:25:12,880 --> 03:25:19,840
i'll wrap it up
yeah good evening mayor members of the

2730
03:25:16,479 --> 03:25:23,120
council with great pleasure i get to
have another measure v project as

2731
03:25:21,680 --> 03:25:29,120
scheduled on
a schedule we provided and have been

2732
03:25:25,279 --> 03:25:33,200
working off of for about three years now
this measure v project

2733
03:25:31,040 --> 03:25:37,760
consists of
streets of what we call elevated north

2734
03:25:34,880 --> 03:25:42,160
and alaba south howard
gulf

2735
03:25:39,040 --> 03:25:46,560
mullin and acacia
what you see before you has been broken

2736
03:25:44,319 --> 03:25:50,800
out because
into a couple of bit additive alternates

2737
03:25:48,560 --> 03:25:54,399
and logistically the reason was which
allen will cover is

2738
03:25:52,239 --> 03:25:58,880
you know not knowing where the measure v
funds are going to come in at so we what

2739
03:25:56,640 --> 03:26:03,680
we did is we created a base bid project
of what we were confident

2740
03:26:01,279 --> 03:26:07,600
that we'd have funding for and then we
broke the other streets out

2741
03:26:05,760 --> 03:26:10,640
as bit out of alternates and that was
just for financing purposes now i want

2742
03:26:09,359 --> 03:26:16,000
to cover that
these uh roads uh are obviously in

2743
03:26:13,040 --> 03:26:19,840
pretty poor shape the uh
construction includes a new asphalt

2744
03:26:18,479 --> 03:26:24,720
concrete
where appropriate we'll put

2745
03:26:21,840 --> 03:26:30,880
rolled concrete curb and gutter
and where appropriate we'll put ac dyke

2746
03:26:28,960 --> 03:26:34,720
it also includes a lot of storm drain
improvements to take care of a lot of

2747
03:26:32,319 --> 03:26:39,439
the localized flooding in particular
um if approved tonight

2748
03:26:37,200 --> 03:26:43,680
mullins is is gonna is a big one for
storm drain a lot of storm drain pipe

2749
03:26:41,359 --> 03:26:46,720
and that the other ones are pretty minor
and the other thing i'd like to bring

2750
03:26:44,960 --> 03:26:52,319
forth is that
this product this measure v project was

2751
03:26:49,439 --> 03:26:52,319
a catalyst for

2752
03:26:52,560 --> 03:27:00,880
helping highlands water company move
forward with the substantial

2753
03:26:56,800 --> 03:27:00,880
water line improvements in these areas

2754
03:27:00,960 --> 03:27:05,840
due to an ordinance that the city passed
about a year and a half ago which said

2755
03:27:04,319 --> 03:27:09,120
if you have a leak
in our street

2756
03:27:07,200 --> 03:27:13,439
you've got to pave the street they don't
like that so

2757
03:27:11,120 --> 03:27:18,000
this prod that ordinance along with our
projects now we're getting a lot of new

2758
03:27:15,359 --> 03:27:21,520
water lines water services and enhanced
water service for that matter with fire

2759
03:27:19,680 --> 03:27:25,920
hydrants and stuff we'll be happy to
entertain any questions about the

2760
03:27:23,439 --> 03:27:30,479
technical aspects of the project if we
have any questions from so just to

2761
03:27:28,239 --> 03:27:34,080
clarify hyland's water will be replacing
summer is in the process now replacing

2762
03:27:32,399 --> 03:27:37,840
water lines in those streets they're
opening bids tomorrow

2763
03:27:36,479 --> 03:27:42,800
and that'll happen
can happen quickly ahead of

2764
03:27:40,239 --> 03:27:45,600
in front of us yes
great

2765
03:27:44,080 --> 03:27:49,840
just to follow up any other utilities
that are would be impacted

2766
03:27:47,840 --> 03:27:52,720
by this project that would need to be
updated

2767
03:27:50,960 --> 03:27:56,880
not to my knowledge we coordinated with
special districts

2768
03:27:54,880 --> 03:28:01,359
you know we we send send our plans and
specs now we have joint utility meetings

2769
03:27:58,960 --> 03:28:04,720
with uh all all parties involved and
highlands was the one that thanks take

2770
03:28:03,120 --> 03:28:07,760
care of it all right
uh

2771
03:28:05,680 --> 03:28:10,640
councilman claffy any comments
uh no

2772
03:28:09,359 --> 03:28:13,520
all right
so can i make some comments

2773
03:28:12,720 --> 03:28:15,840
so
um

2774
03:28:15,920 --> 03:28:21,120
uh granite construction was low bidder
um

2775
03:28:19,600 --> 03:28:25,359
and you know
mr schwartz mentioned the additive

2776
03:28:23,040 --> 03:28:30,720
alternates so
we don't have uh quite enough funding in

2777
03:28:28,560 --> 03:28:33,120
measure v to do the whole two million
dollar

2778
03:28:31,680 --> 03:28:37,600
project
and so there's really two options the

2779
03:28:35,840 --> 03:28:43,359
council could decide to
just toward a smaller project

2780
03:28:40,319 --> 03:28:47,200
and use the funds that we have now
what staff's actually recommending since

2781
03:28:45,279 --> 03:28:50,239
the project has all this has been
designed

2782
03:28:48,479 --> 03:28:55,359
and it's ready to go
that we go ahead and do an internal loan

2783
03:28:53,439 --> 03:28:59,600
from some of our other projects complete
everything

2784
03:28:56,640 --> 03:29:03,279
this year and then um
we will use measure v revenues from next

2785
03:29:02,319 --> 03:29:06,720
year
in order to to pay that loan back to the

2786
03:29:05,840 --> 03:29:09,439
city
and um

2787
03:29:09,600 --> 03:29:15,520
i guess we've changed the numbers a
couple times um i i don't know if you

2788
03:29:13,760 --> 03:29:20,479
want to speak chief white you may you
were working on them last i don't want

2789
03:29:16,960 --> 03:29:25,120
to misspeak but um what we're
recommending is that we

2790
03:29:22,319 --> 03:29:29,520
go ahead and make a budget adjustment
for the project amount and up to the

2791
03:29:27,600 --> 03:29:33,760
maximum 10
um change order amount so that all

2792
03:29:31,439 --> 03:29:38,960
that's covered and then of course if we
don't need the money then then um

2793
03:29:37,200 --> 03:29:42,000
we won't spend it
um do you want to address the numbers

2794
03:29:40,479 --> 03:29:47,040
real quick chief
sure um so conservatively estimating the

2795
03:29:45,040 --> 03:29:52,479
loan could be up to 1.2 million the
impact would be in fiscal year 2223

2796
03:29:50,319 --> 03:29:56,960
for measure v removing our estimated
operating costs you would have about

2797
03:29:54,160 --> 03:30:00,720
between 400 to 450 000
for projects that year

2798
03:29:59,120 --> 03:30:04,560
one thing to mention is public works is
doing a huge amount of projects so i

2799
03:30:02,720 --> 03:30:09,120
don't think there's going to be a lot of
pushback to slow down a little bit then

2800
03:30:06,800 --> 03:30:12,479
and the reality is with the pace of work
and everything else you probably

2801
03:30:10,640 --> 03:30:16,080
wouldn't otherwise know because projects
are going to continue going on so i

2802
03:30:14,399 --> 03:30:20,319
think from a financial perspective if
you choose to do the loan um it's a low

2803
03:30:18,319 --> 03:30:24,000
risk it's just basically pushing stuff
ahead and we have um from a cash flow

2804
03:30:22,640 --> 03:30:26,160
perspective we're fortunate to have
funding to be able to do this sort of

2805
03:30:25,439 --> 03:30:29,120
thing
thank you

2806
03:30:27,279 --> 03:30:33,680
yeah and the the funding that we're
recommending adjusting would be um

2807
03:30:31,600 --> 03:30:37,600
series a funding that in our recent
budget we set aside for the highlands

2808
03:30:35,359 --> 03:30:41,520
park uh project which
um you know we're hoping that we'll get

2809
03:30:39,920 --> 03:30:47,279
awarded the grant this year but
construction isn't likely to happen um

2810
03:30:44,880 --> 03:30:50,319
within this fiscal year anyway so you
know it shouldn't slow down anything

2811
03:30:48,960 --> 03:30:53,920
else
and you know we'll still be able to get

2812
03:30:51,920 --> 03:30:57,279
some measure view projects done next
year no doubt um there still will be

2813
03:30:55,840 --> 03:31:00,479
funding there
you know we are

2814
03:30:58,800 --> 03:31:04,880
currently thinking about expanding the
chip seal program to do maybe twice as

2815
03:31:02,640 --> 03:31:08,080
much or something as we did even this
year

2816
03:31:06,000 --> 03:31:13,359
which is a low cost and so you know with
the sports complex

2817
03:31:10,399 --> 03:31:18,720
infrastructure at the airport we have a
second modoc project um

2818
03:31:16,160 --> 03:31:22,319
next year and then the house center
south center drive and dam road

2819
03:31:20,319 --> 03:31:27,359
extension so there's still going to be a
ton of projects happening next year even

2820
03:31:24,640 --> 03:31:31,279
if we kind of spend a little bit less of
measure v dollars than we are this year

2821
03:31:31,359 --> 03:31:38,800
all right so and the and
what you would be requesting for to move

2822
03:31:36,880 --> 03:31:42,479
funds from would be what's covered in
item number

2823
03:31:40,479 --> 03:31:45,760
number 20. yeah that action would be the
next item we just wanted to make sure

2824
03:31:44,239 --> 03:31:48,640
that if you decide
that you want to

2825
03:31:47,040 --> 03:31:52,319
um
not take that option just say award the

2826
03:31:50,720 --> 03:31:55,840
base bid that we kind of have this
discussion all together

2827
03:31:56,560 --> 03:32:01,200
all right
um

2828
03:31:58,720 --> 03:32:04,800
i have to open it to the public yes do
you have any comments from the public on

2829
03:32:02,560 --> 03:32:04,800
this

2830

20.

2844
03:33:05,279 --> 03:33:11,760
chief white this is
thank you mayor um good evening again

2845
03:33:10,000 --> 03:33:17,760
this item is to accomplish two things
it's the uh amendment to the 2021-22

2846
03:33:15,120 --> 03:33:24,239
budget uh the first item is basically to
appropriate the unspent portion of the

2847
03:33:20,000 --> 03:33:28,080
caltrans local road safety plan uh grant
and basically it's coming out of

2848
03:33:25,760 --> 03:33:33,040
existing funding so there's no negative
impact to the budget

2849
03:33:30,880 --> 03:33:36,239
the second portion of it is to do what
we just talked about and and just a

2850
03:33:34,880 --> 03:33:40,479
background on why there's a change in
the um

2851
03:33:37,840 --> 03:33:44,479
the numbers is as you heard earlier with
the audit we're still adjusting things

2852
03:33:42,640 --> 03:33:48,319
uh to figure out the amounts but as i
mentioned to you

2853
03:33:45,760 --> 03:33:53,040
the loan could be up to 1.2 million
roughly um between the two funds um but

2854
03:33:51,680 --> 03:33:57,120
i believe there's sufficient cash flow
to cover doing that um and you have the

2855
03:33:55,359 --> 03:34:00,479
option well it sounds like from your
prior vote that your intention is to to

2856
03:33:59,040 --> 03:34:05,120
go ahead and do that so i think we're
safe to uh to let that happen we did

2857
03:34:03,040 --> 03:34:08,640
pass out we had to amend the
the resolution that was included in the

2858
03:34:07,040 --> 03:34:11,120
agenda to make a correction on the
movement of money it's more of an

2859
03:34:09,760 --> 03:34:15,760
accounting thing
but that's been passed out to you i mean

2860
03:34:13,279 --> 03:34:18,880
just in the transparency it's basically
just showing that there's a transfer out

2861
03:34:17,279 --> 03:34:24,080
from measure b of one point seven eight
six five five one um and that that's

2862
03:34:21,200 --> 03:34:27,760
going to the capital projects fund uh as
a transfer in and then basically on the

2863
03:34:26,080 --> 03:34:31,680
back end we'll do a loan for whatever
amounts there once the dust settles on

2864
03:34:29,359 --> 03:34:34,560
what the actual fund balance is
because we don't have a hard number on

2865
03:34:32,880 --> 03:34:39,760
that it's an estimate at this point
based upon estimated tax revenues

2866
03:34:37,920 --> 03:34:43,760
all right we have any
questions

2867
03:34:41,520 --> 03:34:49,279

03:35:45,359 --> 03:35:49,800
which is item number 21.

2881
03:35:50,479 --> 03:35:59,279
me too all right
uh item 21. mr allen flora

2882
03:35:56,960 --> 03:36:04,080
yes mr mayor members of the council
um so as you know we've been negotiating

2883
03:36:01,200 --> 03:36:06,960
with all of these bargaining groups um
we've reached tentative agreements with

2884
03:36:05,520 --> 03:36:11,120
all of them that we feel is both
physically responsible and respects the

2885
03:36:09,840 --> 03:36:14,560
heart and dedicated work of our
employees

2886
03:36:12,640 --> 03:36:19,359
the first one before you is the clinic
miscellaneous employees association

2887
03:36:16,960 --> 03:36:22,640
so the key deal points are a one year
agreement with a three percent cost of

2888
03:36:20,880 --> 03:36:25,920
living adjustment
a two thousand dollar one-time payment

2889
03:36:24,399 --> 03:36:30,160
and recognition of their hard work and
dedication to the city

2890
03:36:28,080 --> 03:36:34,880
additional one percent salary adjustment
in lieu of various other adjustments

2891
03:36:32,239 --> 03:36:39,520
within the mou removing or reducing
other compensation

2892
03:36:37,439 --> 03:36:43,840
there is language in all these
agreements which is an agreement to meet

2893
03:36:41,120 --> 03:36:48,560
and confer regarding additional
compensation that can be converted into

2894
03:36:45,680 --> 03:36:51,840
base pay there's also some adjustments
in this one related to uniform

2895
03:36:50,399 --> 03:36:55,680
regulations
the final thing that i wanted to point

2896
03:36:53,359 --> 03:36:58,880
out is i you should have a hard copy
there was

2897
03:36:56,560 --> 03:37:04,880
one section under sick leave that was
inadvertently deleted

2898
03:37:00,960 --> 03:37:08,880
and so that reflects that section 9.1
being

2899
03:37:06,239 --> 03:37:13,279
back remaining in the in the agreement
and the previous section 9.2 is removed

2900
03:37:11,680 --> 03:37:16,960
and that's what's related to the 1
salary adjustment so i would be happy to

2901
03:37:15,359 --> 03:37:20,800
address any questions that you may have
okay we have any question for staff

2902
03:37:23,279 --> 03:37:29,439

unrepresented and not in one of the
other three groups

2969
03:46:18,960 --> 03:46:27,840
most of the benefits are outlined by the
city's management benefit plan

2970
03:46:25,199 --> 03:46:30,399
in that plan it states that management
employees

2971
03:46:30,800 --> 03:46:36,800
shall receive a salary adjustment each
july 1st

2972
03:46:34,560 --> 03:46:41,760
based on the march to march all urban
cities consumer price index

2973
03:46:40,319 --> 03:46:45,600
based on the labor market and then the
financial condition of the city

2974
03:46:44,160 --> 03:46:49,680
and so
so march 2020 to march 21

2975
03:46:48,479 --> 03:46:54,640
cpi
was 2.6

2976
03:46:52,000 --> 03:47:01,760
um and so that's what we're recommending
uh the council approve for um

2977
03:46:59,120 --> 03:47:04,960
those employees and i just wanted to to
point out i'm sure most of you are

2978
03:47:03,359 --> 03:47:09,680
watching
the economic situation and

2979
03:47:07,439 --> 03:47:16,160
inflation is is really ramping up just
as a little bit of a perspective

2980
03:47:13,120 --> 03:47:20,640
april that april year over year was 4.9
percent

2981
03:47:17,359 --> 03:47:24,640
may was five percent and um i'm not sure
if i recall the the june numbers but i

2982
03:47:22,640 --> 03:47:27,840
think they're even higher yet than than
five percent so

2983
03:47:26,160 --> 03:47:31,120
anyway um with that i'll try to address
any questions counselor you have any

2984
03:47:29,439 --> 03:47:35,279

2985
03:47:32,399 --> 03:47:38,880

3003
03:48:47,199 --> 03:48:53,439
honorable mayor and council members the
league of california city's annual

3004
03:48:51,439 --> 03:48:58,399
conference this year is scheduled for
september 22nd through the 24th and the

3005
03:48:56,640 --> 03:49:02,080
conference is
planning to be held in person in

3006
03:49:00,560 --> 03:49:05,439
sacramento
and at this meeting the league

3007
03:49:03,439 --> 03:49:11,120
membership considers and takes action on
resolutions that establish league policy

3008
03:49:09,120 --> 03:49:15,920
in order to vote at the annual business
meeting each year the city council must

3009
03:49:13,279 --> 03:49:21,120
designate a voting delegate and can
appoint then up to two alternates in

3010
03:49:18,800 --> 03:49:25,520
addition to that delegate all council
members are planning to attend

3011
03:49:23,520 --> 03:49:29,920
the uh the conference
and although we've not received

3012
03:49:27,680 --> 03:49:35,199
information on the issues coming up for
a vote yet it is appropriate for the

3013
03:49:33,040 --> 03:49:41,439
council to designate a voting delegate
and up to two alternates at this time

3014
03:49:38,800 --> 03:49:43,359
any comments or any ideas
um

3015
03:49:42,640 --> 03:49:47,920
i
if i want to address something i think

3016
03:49:45,680 --> 03:49:52,880
uh councilwoman overton has been a long
time representative so i think

3017
03:49:50,720 --> 03:49:56,080
i think she would be as the voting
delegate

3018
03:49:53,920 --> 03:49:59,600
and is there anybody that uh wants to be
an

3019
03:49:57,120 --> 03:49:59,600
alternate

3020
03:49:59,840 --> 03:50:06,600
and i'm willing to continue in that
please do so council woman overton

3021
03:50:07,520 --> 03:50:13,120
all right
everybody to go to the you know and i

3022
03:50:10,720 --> 03:50:16,960

councilman because i went over to so all
right it's good to see everybody there

3024
03:50:18,720 --> 03:50:24,479
going there so that's kind of cool
all right

3025
03:50:22,399 --> 03:50:27,600
i guess we have to open this to a public
hearing

3026
03:50:25,920 --> 03:50:30,239
do we have any comments from the public
on this item

3027
03:50:30,880 --> 03:50:36,239
there are no public comments on this
item and i've not received any emailed

3028
03:50:34,479 --> 03:50:41,600
comments all right we'll bring them back
to the council so

3029
03:50:37,760 --> 03:50:41,600
can i have a recommendation

3030
03:50:42,080 --> 03:50:49,199
mr mr mayor i would recommend
councilwoman overton as our voting

3031
03:50:47,279 --> 03:50:54,000
member and council member perdoc and
kramer as our alternates

3032
03:50:52,080 --> 03:50:57,920

3033
03:50:56,239 --> 03:51:02,640
councilman claffy and a second vice
mayor perdoc all in favor say aye all

3034
03:51:01,520 --> 03:51:05,760
right
all right

3035
03:51:04,080 --> 03:51:11,279
mr mayor if i could interrupt really
quick so on the poa agreement that you

3036
03:51:08,399 --> 03:51:15,520
just approved um chief white just
noticed in his thoroughness that um

3037
03:51:14,399 --> 03:51:20,479
the
for some reason the detective is missing

3038
03:51:17,840 --> 03:51:24,319
from the list of special assignments
um and so

3039
03:51:22,160 --> 03:51:29,120
uh the city attorney said that um if
you're all okay with making a note of

3040
03:51:26,720 --> 03:51:32,560
adding that back in that's okay if you
want to have some further discussion

3041
03:51:31,040 --> 03:51:36,239
about whether to do that or not then we
would have to take an action to

3042
03:51:33,760 --> 03:51:38,399
reconsider the item but so how can we do
that

3043
03:51:39,920 --> 03:51:45,040
i
based on if you're

3044
03:51:42,960 --> 03:51:48,640
in concurrence of what the city manager
said and were that was fine and that'd

3045
03:51:47,279 --> 03:51:52,960
be part of your motion then we don't
need to reconsider it if you don't want

3046
03:51:50,880 --> 03:51:57,120
that then we should probably
vote again to reconsider and pull it out

3047
03:51:55,840 --> 03:52:01,359
of it
mr mayor it was my understanding that

3048
03:51:58,720 --> 03:52:05,359
that was already in so was it mine yeah
it's just a clerical error right i mean

3049
03:52:03,040 --> 03:52:12,479
it's it's an assignment that we've had
yeah so you're okay with that i am

3050
03:52:08,720 --> 03:52:16,720
okay very good so you have your
okay we'll go to city manager and

3051
03:52:14,000 --> 03:52:16,720
council report

3052
03:52:16,880 --> 03:52:27,680
okay um i have have a few items so um
we received uh just over 1.8 million in

3053
03:52:25,439 --> 03:52:31,840
federal funding today through the our
program which we'll be using for

3054
03:52:29,359 --> 03:52:35,520
infrastructure so glad to see that come
in and

3055
03:52:33,600 --> 03:52:40,960
the other half of that funding we should
receive and i believe may of next year

3056
03:52:38,000 --> 03:52:45,680
so we'll still be in this fiscal year
okay right

3057
03:52:42,399 --> 03:52:51,359
well it's the american rescue
um i forget exactly the plan act or

3058
03:52:48,960 --> 03:52:51,359
something

3059
03:52:52,399 --> 03:53:01,520
so um we had a bit opening for the
sulfur fire road rehabilitation project

3060
03:52:57,199 --> 03:53:05,840
today bids came in um unexpectedly low
um

3061
03:53:02,640 --> 03:53:09,279
the low bid being um just over 6.4
million um

3062
03:53:07,680 --> 03:53:13,600
so
that's great uh granite

3063
03:53:11,520 --> 03:53:16,880
construction was the low bidder who was
also the

3064
03:53:15,680 --> 03:53:21,359
contractor that i'll be doing in the
measure v project so i think the timing

3065
03:53:19,680 --> 03:53:23,840
for all those projects is going to work
out great

3066
03:53:24,160 --> 03:53:29,600
now the problem we have is we just have
to um

3067
03:53:27,760 --> 03:53:34,000
figure out some way to spend an
additional 5 million because

3068
03:53:31,920 --> 03:53:38,000
that's not a problem
the the bids were much much lower than

3069
03:53:35,920 --> 03:53:42,640
we expected and so
good problem

3070
03:53:39,600 --> 03:53:42,640
yeah we'll take it

3071
03:53:44,800 --> 03:53:51,199
well there's a lot of limits on the use
of those funds in that program there has

3072
03:53:48,880 --> 03:53:54,319
to be a tie back to the 2017 disaster
and whatnot so

3073
03:53:52,800 --> 03:53:58,800
we've been kicking around a few ideas
left to consult with hcd obviously we

3074
03:53:56,479 --> 03:54:02,319
don't want to do anything that delays
the current project we have in front of

3075
03:54:00,640 --> 03:54:06,479
us
but i'm sure we'll figure out some way

3076
03:54:04,560 --> 03:54:09,120
um we definitely don't want to let the
money go back

3077
03:54:10,000 --> 03:54:18,479
um so uh we are in the process of
listing um

3078
03:54:15,279 --> 03:54:22,800
23 properties in the city that are owned
and available for

3079
03:54:20,080 --> 03:54:26,479
low density residential development
to get the word out on those we're also

3080
03:54:24,960 --> 03:54:30,720
finally
really rolling out the homestead program

3081
03:54:28,640 --> 03:54:34,479
and so those properties will be listed
with a price if someone comes forward

3082
03:54:32,720 --> 03:54:40,239
through the homestead program and likes
that property

3083
03:54:36,479 --> 03:54:43,040
we will still give it to them
if they qualify

3084
03:54:43,199 --> 03:54:48,239
it's been a little while since we talked
about cannabis permits but as you know

3085
03:54:46,560 --> 03:54:53,040
there were a number of
the previously issued permits that

3086
03:54:50,560 --> 03:54:58,399
there's not much activity
we issued letters to all of the permit

3087
03:54:55,920 --> 03:55:02,720
holders i believe it was in march and
informed them that if they did not take

3088
03:55:01,040 --> 03:55:07,439
steps to
activate their permit and get their

3089
03:55:05,120 --> 03:55:11,279
business going by july 1st that they
would be revoked

3090
03:55:09,279 --> 03:55:15,199
it looks like
we're doing some final final checking

3091
03:55:13,279 --> 03:55:19,920
but it looks like that there's gonna be
five of the permits that we're gonna go

3092
03:55:17,120 --> 03:55:24,000
ahead and revoke for inactivity
um

3093
03:55:21,120 --> 03:55:24,000
i did want to

3094
03:55:24,319 --> 03:55:30,560
i think most of you are aware but
congratulate chief white for his

3095
03:55:27,840 --> 03:55:35,520
appointment to the state 911 committee
so it's great to have him representing

3096
03:55:33,760 --> 03:55:38,800
clear lake and other rural communities
i'm sure he's going to be a big asset

3097
03:55:39,040 --> 03:55:45,199
sort of in random order here but
you know

3098
03:55:42,560 --> 03:55:49,760
some pretty positive news um preliminary
returns from calpers over the last year

3099
03:55:48,239 --> 03:55:54,160
uh brought their
um returns in at 21.3

3100
03:55:52,720 --> 03:56:00,399
which obviously is higher than the
assumptions

3101
03:55:56,160 --> 03:56:06,640
the preliminary returns for calpers
fund it was 21.3 percent of course which

3102
03:56:03,600 --> 03:56:10,000
is much above the the 7 assumed rate of
return

3103
03:56:08,000 --> 03:56:16,000
in fact it was so large it's going to
trigger some additional changes

3104
03:56:13,520 --> 03:56:21,439
which is going to
bless you

3105
03:56:17,120 --> 03:56:25,680
actually reduce the discount rate from 7
percent down to 6.8 percent in the

3106
03:56:23,520 --> 03:56:29,520
future
which is going to

3107
03:56:27,120 --> 03:56:34,160
drive up our our costs
uh because of that but

3108
03:56:32,479 --> 03:56:38,000
anyway it's good last year they didn't
meet the um assumed rate i don't

3109
03:56:36,560 --> 03:56:42,640
remember what the number was i think it
was six something

3110
03:56:39,600 --> 03:56:48,479
um and but you know and that that return
will be smoothed over five year period

3111
03:56:45,279 --> 03:56:52,479
but anyway um overall um
good to see that um we're continuing to

3112
03:56:50,800 --> 03:56:56,720
monitor the
boat ramps at redbud park we have a

3113
03:56:54,800 --> 03:57:00,239
gauge out there we have additional
marking to show the end of the concrete

3114
03:56:58,640 --> 03:57:03,520
ramps
and signage letting folks know that it

3115
03:57:02,000 --> 03:57:09,680
could be dangerous
to launch and they're doing so at their

3116
03:57:04,960 --> 03:57:14,960
own risk but it is continuing to be used
the county is uh reporting that they're

3117
03:57:12,479 --> 03:57:19,279
expecting the lake level to drop between
two and two and a half feet from where

3118
03:57:16,960 --> 03:57:26,000
we are now before the end of the summer
so it's uh very possible that um

3119
03:57:23,680 --> 03:57:31,840
some or all of the ramps at redwater
park will will not be usable um just for

3120
03:57:29,199 --> 03:57:35,439
a little bit of context we have there's
the ramps that kind of i guess probably

3121
03:57:33,760 --> 03:57:38,399
depending on when they are constructed
or a little bit different

3122
03:57:37,199 --> 03:57:43,040
length
and

3123
03:57:40,160 --> 03:57:48,720
so we're in pretty good shape similar to
some of the ramps at library park in

3124
03:57:45,359 --> 03:57:54,000
lakeport and i think lakeside park
um over by kelseyville but there is one

3125
03:57:51,199 --> 03:57:58,479
of the boat ramps at library park in
lake port that is a couple of feet

3126
03:57:56,239 --> 03:58:01,520
longer than what we have so it's
possible that they

3127
03:58:00,239 --> 03:58:04,319
will be the
only

3128
03:58:02,479 --> 03:58:10,080
great access i mean and there's still
going to be issues with that

3129
03:58:05,840 --> 03:58:10,080
can we pour something yeah yeah

3130
03:58:10,319 --> 03:58:17,840
serious question yes
have you heard of the army corps of

3131
03:58:14,800 --> 03:58:17,840
engineers before

3132
03:58:18,800 --> 03:58:27,120
well you can pour concrete in water
yeah it takes a lot of permits and

3133
03:58:23,439 --> 03:58:27,120
multiple years to do so so

3134
03:58:27,520 --> 03:58:36,640
i wanted to mention that
the we've been asked by the adventist

3135
03:58:33,920 --> 03:58:41,279
health and hope center to
be the grant recipient for a home key

3136
03:58:39,520 --> 03:58:46,319
grant for some additional improvements
at the hope center

3137
03:58:43,920 --> 03:58:50,640
they initially received funding for that
project with the county being the grant

3138
03:58:49,120 --> 03:58:54,880
recipient
for whatever reason

3139
03:58:52,080 --> 03:59:00,160
they apparently have
decided not to

3140
03:58:56,880 --> 03:59:04,720
participate in that role anymore and so
they asked us if we would step in and do

3141
03:59:02,800 --> 03:59:09,279
that and so we said you know of course
we would

3142
03:59:05,840 --> 03:59:13,359
so working with that team on
bringing

3143
03:59:10,640 --> 03:59:18,479
curb gutter and sidewalk improvements um
and a solar micro grid and other backup

3144
03:59:16,479 --> 03:59:22,319
power as part of part of that project to
the hope center

3145
03:59:20,239 --> 03:59:26,560
um the starbucks project's going well as
i'm sure you've realized um the

3146
03:59:23,920 --> 03:59:30,800
developer is i'm trying to finalize the
plans for phase two of that we had an

3147
03:59:29,120 --> 03:59:34,399
administrative use permit hearing for
the

3148
03:59:31,680 --> 03:59:37,920
um stealth cell tower that's going to be
part of the pylon sign that will be

3149
03:59:36,080 --> 03:59:43,359
installed there so
that was approved today and so

3150
03:59:41,439 --> 03:59:46,160
they will be um
moving forward with their building

3151
03:59:44,399 --> 03:59:50,080
permits on that
um and then they acquired additional

3152
03:59:48,399 --> 03:59:55,840
property at the site so we're expecting
a phase three

3153
03:59:51,600 --> 04:00:00,160
um to follow that development um
just a couple other things sorry i have

3154
03:59:57,760 --> 04:00:05,600
a lot of stuff um
clear lake waste solutions notified us

3155
04:00:02,319 --> 04:00:10,479
yesterday that um
they're being bought out by a larger

3156
04:00:08,960 --> 04:00:14,239
waste hauler
and um

3157
04:00:12,880 --> 04:00:18,399
you know they
won't go into all the details now they

3158
04:00:16,239 --> 04:00:24,720
believe that it's going to be a good
transition for all bruce mccracken

3159
04:00:21,279 --> 04:00:27,760
is going to be hired by this group and
remain

3160
04:00:26,160 --> 04:00:31,840
on the team which
gives me a lot of relief that will still

3161
04:00:29,600 --> 04:00:35,040
continue to have great service there is
going to be an action that's required by

3162
04:00:33,439 --> 04:00:42,000
the council we're planning on taking
that on august 5th but

3163
04:00:37,520 --> 04:00:42,000
anyway wanted to let you know about that

3164
04:00:42,319 --> 04:00:49,520
the um oh i'm going to
be attending the icma's international

3165
04:00:47,279 --> 04:00:53,680
city managers association conference in
october

3166
04:00:51,120 --> 04:00:56,479
i've been asked to speak
as a panelist

3167
04:00:55,439 --> 04:00:59,359
a
discussion

3168
04:00:57,600 --> 04:01:04,560
entitled a tale of two cities attracting
retail and small and rural communities

3169
04:01:01,840 --> 04:01:08,479
with a town manager from warrington
virginia so um

3170
04:01:06,720 --> 04:01:11,199
looking forward to that opportunity and
then

3171
04:01:09,359 --> 04:01:15,840
one final thing this is kind of more of
a future agenda item i guess but

3172
04:01:13,680 --> 04:01:20,720
because of the census there's going to
there's a number of redis redistricting

3173
04:01:19,120 --> 04:01:27,279
decisions
that are going to need to be made

3174
04:01:24,160 --> 04:01:33,040
the state has a redistricting commission
they're kind of starting their public

3175
04:01:29,279 --> 04:01:36,399
outreach related to this
and that's going to be continuing

3176
04:01:34,560 --> 04:01:41,439
through the end of the year
there will be a community meeting at

3177
04:01:39,040 --> 04:01:44,160
towards the end of august for our sort
of zone in the state

3178
04:01:43,359 --> 04:01:48,960
but
i wanted to bring up and see if the

3179
04:01:46,880 --> 04:01:53,760
council was interested in
um

3180
04:01:50,160 --> 04:01:57,840
actively lobbying to
rejoin

3181
04:01:55,359 --> 04:02:00,399
congressman thompson's district
um

3182
04:01:59,359 --> 04:02:04,239
you know
since the last redistricting lake county

3183
04:02:02,560 --> 04:02:08,560
has been split between congressman
thompson and congressman garamendi um we

3184
04:02:07,840 --> 04:02:12,000
get
very little representation from congress

3185
04:02:10,560 --> 04:02:14,560
from garamendi
and

3186
04:02:12,800 --> 04:02:20,160
i think there's certainly an interest
from congressman thompson's office to

3187
04:02:16,960 --> 04:02:24,800
represent us again and so
i just kind of wanted to gauge the

3188
04:02:21,920 --> 04:02:29,680
council and see if there's interest in
possibly actively requesting that type

3189
04:02:27,439 --> 04:02:33,680
of thing from the council as part of
this process

3190
04:02:31,120 --> 04:02:38,080
and if that's the case then we'll
probably come back with another um item

3191
04:02:36,399 --> 04:02:43,840
that you know talks a little bit more
about the options for doing so

3192
04:02:40,319 --> 04:02:43,840
i definitely agree with that

3193
04:02:47,199 --> 04:02:54,000
okay that's my report
councilman kramer anything to report on

3194
04:02:51,920 --> 04:02:57,680
very little report on all
meetings that i normally would attend

3195
04:02:55,680 --> 04:03:03,439
were because of the
holiday i think were probably canceled

3196
04:03:00,960 --> 04:03:06,720
uh i have been attending blue zone
planning

3197
04:03:04,560 --> 04:03:11,040
committee meetings
but i assume that

3198
04:03:08,640 --> 04:03:14,319
that mayor vice mayor perdoc is going to
give you a report on that so i'm not

3199
04:03:12,720 --> 04:03:18,000
going to
have anything to say on that other than

3200
04:03:16,239 --> 04:03:24,239
monday
i'm going to let you go with that

3201
04:03:19,680 --> 04:03:29,040
so that's all i have councilman overton
clapper you have anything to report on

3202
04:03:26,800 --> 04:03:33,120

uh no real action items from that just

3203
04:03:31,279 --> 04:03:36,800
