about this. 811 00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:55,206 Recently a business that is 812 00:32:55,206 --> 00:32:56,441 bordering my residence has 813 00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:59,177 changed their business plan, and 814 00:32:59,177 --> 00:33:01,712 in doing so they've become very 815 00:33:01,712 --> 00:33:03,381 disruptive to my way of life. 816 00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:06,981 There are certain sounds in elk 817 00:33:07,510 --> 00:33:07,986 grove that are historic and 818 00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,986 resonate with me. 819 00:33:10,788 --> 00:33:13,424 Sounds of the train in old elk 820 00:33:13,424 --> 00:33:15,226 grove and the P.A. System of the 821 00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:15,460 football games in elk grove high 822 00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:17,460 school. 823 00:33:18,295 --> 00:33:21,833 But now all I hear every night 824 00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:22,660 is the loud drone of a sound 825 00:33:22,660 --> 00:33:24,660 system. 826 00:33:24,936 --> 00:33:26,638 Because an event center opened 827 00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:29,380 up in my backyard. 828 00:33:29,975 --> 00:33:33,575 It's become a very big nuisance 829 00:33:33,778 --> 00:33:35,981 and has changed the entire 830 00:33:35,981 --> 00:33:38,981 existence of old elk grove. 831 00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:41,787 And I spoke with public works -- 832 00:33:41,787 --> 00:33:43,388 not public works, sorry, you 833 00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:45,456 guys were great, thank you for 834 00:33:45,456 --> 00:33:46,191 fixing the street where pg&e 835 00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:48,191 messed it up. 836 00:33:51,163 --> 00:33:53,432 I wish they could do better. 837 00:33:53,432 --> 00:33:55,933 I spoke with planning and it 838 00:33:55,933 --> 00:33:58,804 seemed that they don't have a 839 00:33:58,804 --> 00:34:00,804 conditional use permit. 840 00:34:01,390 --> 00:34:02,241 I have a case open with code 841 00:34:02,241 --> 00:34:04,641 enforcement so hopefully they 842 00:34:09,882 --> 00:34:11,584 can get it straightened out. 843 00:34:11,584 --> 00:34:13,185 I hope that this business has to 844 00:34:13,185 --> 00:34:14,687 go through some of the same 845 00:34:14,687 --> 00:34:15,854 scrutiny that on her businesses 846 00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:16,880 in old elk grove have gone 847 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,880 through. 848 00:34:19,910 --> 00:34:21,961 i got a letter in the mail that 849 00:34:21,961 --> 00:34:23,529 a tattoo shop wanted to go in to 850 00:34:23,529 --> 00:34:25,731 old elk grove and I know that a 851 00:34:25,731 --> 00:34:25,998 lot of businesses don't succeed 852 00:34:25,998 --> 00:34:27,998 there. 853 00:34:28,768 --> 00:34:29,802 I hope that all businesses do 854 00:34:29,802 --> 00:34:31,971 but not this one. 855 00:34:31,971 --> 00:34:32,204 Because of the disruption it's 856 00:34:32,204 --> 00:34:34,204 causing. 857 00:34:35,700 --> 00:34:36,542 With this conditional use permit 858 00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:38,678 I heard that there is times of 859 00:34:38,678 --> 00:34:40,112 service and stuff like that that 860 00:34:40,112 --> 00:34:41,381 would be limitations that they 861 00:34:41,381 --> 00:34:43,490 would have to follow. 862 00:34:43,490 --> 00:34:44,216 I hope that that makes things 863 00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:45,685 better if they are able to 864 00:34:45,685 --> 00:34:47,685 follow those. 865 00:34:48,421 --> 00:34:51,240 Would I like to see other people 866 00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:52,892 maybe speak and have this an 867 00:34:52,892 --> 00:34:54,561 agenda point at some point, if 868 00:34:54,561 --> 00:34:57,561 though go through the proper 869 00:34:57,998 --> 00:34:59,320 chance to get things above 870 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,320 board. 871 00:35:01,501 --> 00:35:04,501 Right now, though are operating 872 00:35:05,538 --> 00:35:07,400 what seems like from the 873 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,608 information that they could 874 00:35:08,608 --> 00:35:11,411 disclose when I reported it to 875 00:35:11,411 --> 00:35:12,379 them, though are not operating 876 00:35:12,379 --> 00:35:14,314 with permission correctly. 877 00:35:14,314 --> 00:35:15,649 So I just hope that all 878 00:35:15,649 --> 00:35:16,850 businesses in old elk grove can 879 00:35:16,850 --> 00:35:19,850 follow the rules and regulations 880 00:35:19,853 --> 00:35:21,421 that you guys set. 881 00:35:21,421 --> 00:35:22,756 I know we're america the land of 882 00:35:22,756

business should change the way, 886 00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:30,831 especially our historic district 887 00:35:30,831 --> 00:35:32,599 is. 888 00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:34,835 I would love to see more 889 00:35:34,835 --> 00:35:37,235 successful businesses go in 890 00:35:38,806 --> 00:35:41,806 there that are maybe more 891 00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:47,381 everyday businesses rather than 892 00:35:47,381

00:59:21,285 --> 00:59:21,886 which was completed in 2025 1538 00:59:21,886 --> 00:59:23,886 earlier this year. 1539 00:59:24,589 --> 00:59:26,291 The development structured as 3 1540 00:59:26,291 --> 00:59:27,559 distinct phases, each 1541 00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:29,461 individually owned and operated 1542 00:59:29,461 --> 00:59:31,461 as standalone projects. 1543 00:59:35,266 --> 00:59:36,734 Project 1, 147 units on 1544 00:59:36,734 --> 00:59:38,734 bruceville road. 1545 00:59:40,672 --> 00:59:42,474 Project 2 contains 82 units, on 1546 00:59:42,474 --> 00:59:44,309 bruceville road, owned and 1547 00:59:44,309 --> 00:59:47,309 operated by poppy grove ii. 1548 00:59:48,279 --> 00:59:50,279 and project 3, 157 units, 1549 00:59:50,315 --> 00:59:52,715 bruceville road, owned and 1550 00:59:54,820 --> 00:59:57,820 operated by poppy grove iii. 1551 01:00:03,762 --> 01:00:06,162 They pro 434 operate oceans. 1552 01:00:07,466 --> 01:00:09,268 In 2022 council held tefra 1553 01:00:09,268 --> 01:00:10,680 hearings can with the original 1554 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:11,904 bond issuance. 1555 01:00:11,904 --> 01:00:13,906 But at this time the project 1556 01:00:13,906 --> 01:00:14,740 sponsor seeks to make 1557 01:00:14,740 --> 01:00:15,874 modifications to the original 1558 01:00:15,874 --> 01:00:17,376 bond terms specifically to delay 1559 01:00:17,376 --> 01:00:19,440 the date in which the bonds 1560 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,112 convert from construction 1561 01:00:20,112 --> 01:00:20,379 financing to permanent 1562 01:00:20,379 --> 01:00:22,810 financing. 1563 01:00:22,810 --> 01:00:23,883 Because this technicality 1564 01:00:23,883 --> 01:00:25,784 occurred outside of the initial 1565 01:00:25,784 --> 01:00:28,540 3 year period new tefra hearing 1566 01:00:28,540 --> 01:00:28,320 and council approvls are 1567 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,789 required. 1568 01:00:29,789 --> 01:00:32,291 Just to be clear there's no new 1569 01:00:32,291 --> 01:00:33,525 debt to be incurred as part of 1570 01:00:33,525 --> 01:00:35,862 this reissuance and no other 1571 01:00:35,862 --> 01:00:37,697 changes to the project or the 1572 01:00:37,697 --> 01:00:39,165 ownership entities. 1573 01:00:39,165 --> 01:00:41,134 Accordingly the owners have 1574 01:00:41,134 --> 01:00:43,336 asked that the california 1575 01:00:43,336 --> 01:00:45,137 municipal finance authority or 1576 01:00:45,137 --> 01:00:47,106 cmfa serve as the conduiterer 1577 01:00:47,106 --> 01:00:48,700 with of the bonds. 1578 01:00:48,700 --> 01:00:48,541 They will reissue the following 1579 01:00:48,541 --> 01:00:50,209 amounts. 1580 01:00:50,209 --> 01:00:52,979 Bonds in principal amount not to 1581 01:00:52,979 --> 01:00:55,379 exceed 60 million to finance

01:01:00,954 --> 01:01:03,954 principle tall amount not to 1586 01:01:04,657 --> 01:01:06,626 exceed 70 million to finance 3. 1587 01:01:06,626 --> 01:01:09,295 Total principle amount of bonds 1588 01:01:09,295 --> 01:01:10,463 to be reissued will not exceed 1589 01:01:10,463 --> 01:01:12,164 $170 million. 1590 01:01:12,164 --> 01:01:12,799 The debt to be reissued is the 1591 01:01:12,799 --> 01:01:14,300 responsibility of the owners 1592 01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:15,368 paid from revenues pledged by 1593 01:01:15,368 --> 01:01:17,368 the projects. 1594 01:01:18,710 --> 01:01:20,173 The city gaers no liability or 1595 01:01:20,173 --> 01:01:21,208 responsibility to repay. 1596 01:01:21,208 --> 01:01:22,876 Bond offering documents will 1597 01:01:22,876 --> 01:01:25,276 have clear disclaimers noting 1598 01:01:25,312 --> 01:01:26,913 this is nottage obligation of 1599 01:01:26,913 --> 01:01:28,248 the city and portability 1600 01:01:28,248 --> 01:01:30,150 restrictions remain in effect 1601 01:01:30,150 --> 01:01:31,685 restricting 100% of the units as 1602 01:01:31,685 --> 01:01:33,420 affordable with the exception of 1603 01:01:33,420 --> 01:01:34,354 3 manager units. 1604 01:01:34,354 --> 01:01:36,690 Staff's recommendation is that 1605 01:01:36,690 --> 01:01:37,723 the city council adopt the 1606 01:01:37,723 --> 01:01:39,393 resolution approving the 1607 01:01:39,393 --> 01:01:40,327 reissuance of bonds for the ben 1608 01:01:40,327 --> 01:01:41,828 fifth projects. 1609 01:01:41,828 --> 01:01:43,463 This concludes my presentation. 1610 01:01:43,463 --> 01:01:45,399 Staff is available to answer any 1611 01:01:45,399 --> 01:01:46,834 questions and we have 1612 01:01:46,834 --> 01:01:48,235 representative from cmfa to 1613 01:01:48,235 --> 01:01:49,636 answer any questions on behalf 1614 01:01:49,636 --> 01:01:51,772 of the project sponsor. 1615 01:01:51,772 --> 01:01:53,740 >> all right, thank you. 1616 01:01:53,740 --> 01:01:56,677 At this time I will declare the 1617 01:01:56,677 --> 01:01:57,611 public hearing open and open up 1618 01:01:57,611 --> 01:01:59,460 the public comment opportunity. 1619 01:01:59,460 --> 01:02:00,948 I do not have anyone signed up 1620 01:02:00,948 --> 01:02:02,483 to speak, I'll close the public 1621 01:02:02,483 --> 01:02:03,751 comment and declare the public 1622 01:02:03,751 --> 01:02:05,586 hearing is closed. 1623 01:02:05,586 --> 01:02:06,353 Any questions or comments if not 1624 01:02:06,353 --> 01:02:09,953 I will look for a motion. 1625 01:02:10,724 --> 01:02:13,724 >> mayor, a couple of questions. 1626 01:02:15,629 --> 01:02:19,229 I was wondering why the delay? 1627 01:02:23,170 --> 01:02:23,872 That's forcing this re hearing 1628 01:02:23,872 --> 01:02:25,740 hearing. 1629 01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:28,142 >> cfa has informed the staff 1630 01:02:28,142 --> 01:02:30,210 that project did not meet the 1631 01:02:30,210 --> 01:02:31,790 conversion date likely due to 1632 01:02:31,790 --> 01:02:33,470 construction delays, not 1633 01:02:33,470 --> 01:02:33,781 uncommon among larger affordable 1634 01:02:33,781 --> 01:02:35,781 housing projects. 1635 01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:39,820 This pushed out the schedule. 1636 01:02:39,820 --> 01:02:43,420 >> and then what happens if this 1637 01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:46,159 isn't approved? 1638 01:02:47,662 --> 01:02:47,896 >> I'm going to pass it to 1639 01:02:47,896 --> 01:02:49,798 sarah. 1640 01:02:49,798 --> 01:02:51,633 >> so it does create pretty 1641 01:02:51,633 --> 01:02:52,000 serious implications for the 1642 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,000 project. 1643 01:02:54,350 --> 01:02:56,237 What would happen is that the 1644 01:02:56,237 --> 01:02:59,400 project would lose its tax 1645 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,400 exempt status which would likely 1646 01:03:02,477 --> 01:03:02,944 lead to the investor backing out 1647 01:03:02,944 --> 01:03:04,944 of the project. 1648 01:03:06,470 --> 01:03:07,382 the project could end up going 1649 01:03:07,382 --> 01:03:09,382 through foreclosure. 1650 01:03:10,285 --> 01:03:12,287 Currently the project is mostly 1651 01:03:12,287 --> 01:03:14,288 leased and so if there were a 1652 01:03:14,288 --> 01:03:16,124 foreclosure we risk the project 1653 01:03:16,124 --> 01:03:18,794 converting to a market rate 1654 01:03:18,794 --> 01:03:19,260 project which would displace. 1655 01:03:19,260 --> 01:03:21,260 Current tenants. 1656 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:22,464 >> thank you very much for that 1657 01:03:22,464 --> 01:03:24,464 clarification. 1658 01:03:27,402 --> 01:03:29,771 This is obviously a project 1659 01:03:29,771 --> 01:03:30,472 that, it was frustrating when 1660 01:03:30,472 --> 01:03:32,775 this originally came forward and 1661 01:03:32,775 --> 01:03:34,842 the amount of changes that 1662 01:03:34,842 --> 01:03:37,842 happened knowing that our staff 1663 01:03:39,381 --> 01:03:41,650 had to help with pro formas, 1664 01:03:41,650 --> 01:03:44,650 things that are clearly the 1665 01:03:45,620 --> 01:03:48,620 responsibility of the owner, the 1666 01:03:49,458 --> 01:03:51,393 business owner. 1667 01:03:51,393 --> 01:03:54,993 To have the designs changed to 1668 01:03:55,230 --> 01:03:57,600 take away balconies and patios. 1669 01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,870 To see this come back and have 1670 01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:03,873 to ask for a request for this 1671 01:04:03,873 --> 01:04:05,775 is, again, also frustrating. 1672 01:04:05,775 --> 01:04:06,943 But I wanted to hear, I wanted 1673 01:04:06,943 --> 01:04:07,477 the public to hear the 1674 01:04:07,477 --> 01:04:09,477 explanation. 1675 01:04:11,414 --> 01:04:14,414 I'll be supporting this item 1676 01:04:16,419 --> 01:04:19,419 tonight but my frustration over 1677 01:04:20,824 --> 01:04:23,824 the ownership entities, what I 1678 01:04:23,826 --> 01:04:26,596 feel is just lack of concern for 1679 01:04:26,596 --> 01:04:27,930 the communities that they are 1680 01:04:27,930 --> 01:04:29,930 doing business in. 1681 01:04:32,502 --> 01:04:33,969 I can't understate that. 1682 01:04:33,969 --> 01:04:36,172 >> thank you councilmember suen 1683 01:04:36,172

dwellings 1744 01:06:47,390 --> 01:06:49,700 and hotels. 1745 01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:49,508 The second item is electric 1746 01:06:49,508 --> 01:06:51,508 ready buildings. 1747 01:06:51,844 --> 01:06:54,460 To promote the shift away from 1748 01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:55,214 fossil fuels, the code 1749 01:06:55,214 --> 01:06:55,714 encourages electric ready 1750 01:06:55,714 --> 01:06:57,714 buildings. 1751 01:06:57,716 --> 01:06:59,452 And this means new construction 1752 01:06:59,452 --> 01:07:01,253 must have the necessary 1753 01:07:01,253 --> 01:07:02,755 electrical capacity to 1754 01:07:02,755 --> 01:07:04,256 accommodate current and future 1755 01:07:04,256 --> 01:07:06,580 installations of electrical 1756 01:07:06,580 --> 01:07:08,458 appliances for heating, cooking, 1757 01:07:08,561 --> 01:07:11,364 as well as water heating. 1758 01:07:11,364 --> 01:07:12,130 Last is bicycle parking for 1759 01:07:12,130 --> 01:07:14,130 nonresidential construction. 1760 01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:16,536 This is increase from the short 1761 01:07:16,536 --> 01:07:18,936 term bike parking percentage 1762 01:07:19,739 --> 01:07:22,108 based on 20% of visitor, and 1763 01:07:22,108 --> 01:07:25,108 long lasting -- long-term bike 1764 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,680 parking increase to 10%. 1765 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,282 Additionally there are a couple 1766 01:07:29,282 --> 01:07:30,483 of new fire code items that have 1767 01:07:30,483 --> 01:07:32,483 been identified. 1768 01:07:33,486 --> 01:07:34,320 The fire code will allow for 1769 01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,320 partially sprinklered buildings 1770 01:07:36,956 --> 01:07:38,625 for energy storage as well as 1771 01:07:38,625 --> 01:07:38,958 distilled spirits and wine 1772 01:07:38,958 --> 01:07:39,793 facilities. 1773 01:07:39,793 --> 01:07:41,761 There's also a new chapter that 1774 01:07:41,761 --> 01:07:43,430 has been added to the fire code 1775 01:07:43,430 --> 01:07:45,565 for temporary cooking and 1776 01:07:45,565 --> 01:07:48,565 heating as well as regulations 1777 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:49,703 for rooftop storage and 1778 01:07:49,703 --> 01:07:51,271 hazardous material. 1779 01:07:51,271 --> 01:07:52,806 Finally emphasize that the 1780 01:07:52,806 --> 01:07:54,508 adoption of this code is forward 1781 01:07:54,508 --> 01:07:56,343 looking, while we commit to a 1782 01:07:56,343 --> 01:07:58,743 line with 2025 codes, this 1783 01:07:58,945 --> 01:08:00,914 action does not preclude us from 1784 01:08:00,914 --> 01:08:02,914 future adjustments, refinements 1785 01:08:03,383 --> 01:08:04,484 or targeted amendments as new 1786 01:08:04,484 --> 01:08:05,886 technologies and industry 1787 01:08:05,886 --> 01:08:06,954 practices evolve. 1788 01:08:06,954 --> 01:08:08,221 I respectfully recommend that 1789 01:08:08,221 --> 01:08:10,524 the council approve the 1790 01:08:10,524 --> 01:08:11,424 ordinance adopting the 2025 1791 01:08:11,424 --> 01:08:13,424 california building standards 1792 01:08:14,940 --> 01:08:15,462 codes with the proposed local 1793 01:08:15,462 --> 01:08:17,197 amendments, assuring that our 1794 01:08:17,197 --> 01:08:19,597 community continues to build 1795 01:08:20,434 --> 01:08:20,668 safety and resiliently into the 1796 01:08:20,668 --> 01:08:21,635 future. 1797 01:08:21,635 --> 01:08:23,337 This concludes my presentation, 1798 01:08:23,337 --> 01:08:23,870 i'm happy to answer any 1799 01:08:23,870 --> 01:08:25,672 questions you MAY have. 1800 01:08:25,672 --> 01:08:27,141 >> all right, thank you. 1801 01:08:27,141 --> 01:08:28,876 At this time I'll declare the 1802 01:08:28,876 --> 01:08:31,111 public hearing is open. 1803 01:08:31,111 --> 01:08:31,411 And open up public comment 1804 01:08:31,411 --> 01:08:33,411 opportunity. 1805 01:08:33,414 --> 01:08:35,315 I do not see anyone signed up to 1806 01:08:35,315 --> 01:08:36,417 speak, close public comment and 1807 01:08:36,417 --> 01:08:36,649 declare the public hearing is 1808 01:08:36,649 --> 01:08:38,452 closed. 1809 01:08:38,452 --> 01:08:40,921 Before I turn it over to 1810 01:08:40,921 --> 01:08:43,391 colleagues, for you, brian, I 1811 01:08:43,391 --> 01:08:44,925 did meet with a stakeholder 1812 01:08:44,925 --> 01:08:46,327 group and there's a number of 1813 01:08:46,327 --> 01:08:46,994 questions that I just want 1814 01:08:46,994 --> 01:08:49,394 entered into the record. 1815 01:08:49,497 --> 01:08:52,166 Then if you can address them, 1816 01:08:52,166 --> 01:08:53,000 thin I'll open it up to my 1817 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,101 colleagues here. 1818 01:08:54,101 --> 01:08:56,101 So five questions. 1819 01:08:56,303 --> 01:08:57,370 When california neighboring 1820 01:08:57,370 --> 01:09:00,700 jurisdictions are all willing to 1821 01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:02,844 move to a temporary or permanent 1822 01:09:02,844 --> 01:09:04,278 water supply, why would we be 1823 01:09:04,278 --> 01:09:06,814 the only jurisdiction to still 1824 01:09:06,814 --> 01:09:07,515 require permanent, that's 1825 01:09:07,515 --> 01:09:09,316 question one. 1826 01:09:09,316 --> 01:09:11,419 Question 2, why do other 1827 01:09:11,419 --> 01:09:13,888 districts and the state feel 1828 01:09:13,888 --> 01:09:14,189 comfortable with temporary water 1829 01:09:14,189 --> 01:09:15,824 supplies. 1830 01:09:15,824 --> 01:09:17,725 Number three, in circumstances 1831 01:09:17,725 --> 01:09:19,594 where structures under 1832 01:09:19,594 --> 01:09:21,830 construction caught fire, and 1833 01:09:21,830 --> 01:09:24,980 were not saved while a temporary 1834 01:09:24,980 --> 01:09:26,535 water source was onsite, do we 1835 01:09:26,535 --> 01:09:28,670 kow the water supply was the 1836 01:09:28,670 --> 01:09:30,372 issue or were there other 1837 01:09:30,372 --> 01:09:32,207 factors that played a role in 1838 01:09:32,207 --> 01:09:32,507 the inability to save the 1839 01:09:32,507 --> 01:09:34,142 structure. 1840 01:09:34,142 --> 01:09:36,410 I know there is a lot going on. 1841 01:09:36,410 --> 01:09:36,978 I'll repeat any of them if you 1842 01:09:36,978 --> 01:09:38,547 want. 1843 01:09:38,547 --> 01:09:41,547 Fourth question, is it likely 1844 01:09:41,616 --> 01:09:43,685 that builders would be resistant 1845 01:09:43,685 --> 01:09:45,454 to ensuring that an adequate 1846 01:09:45,454 --> 01:09:47,854 temporary water supply is 1847 01:09:47,990 --> 01:09:48,957 present in order to save the 1848 01:09:48,957 --> 01:09:51,357 structure they have dedicated 1849 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:52,494 time and resources to 1850 01:09:52,494 --> 01:09:54,494 constructing. 1851 01:09:54,696 --> 01:09:57,960 Final question, under the 1852 01:09:58,100 --> 01:09:59,268 exemption language, how is that 1853 01:09:59,268 --> 01:10:01,103 administered and how can 1854 01:10:01,103 --> 01:10:03,639 builders trust there will be 1855 01:10:03,639 --> 01:10:06,475 consistency and equitable use of 1856 01:10:06,475 --> 01:10:07,810 exemptions under what 1857 01:10:07,810 --> 01:10:09,780 circumstances woe an exemption 1858 01:10:09,780 --> 01:10:10,446 not be granted. 1859 01:10:10,446 --> 01:10:11,881 I can repeat any of them. 1860 01:10:11,881 --> 01:10:12,982 There was a lot. 1861 01:10:12,982 --> 01:10:14,982 Similar themes. 1862 01:10:15,284 --> 01:10:16,518 >> so in an effort to assist we 1863 01:10:16,518 --> 01:10:18,754 have invited chief ray to assist 1864 01:10:18,754 --> 01:10:20,690 with the questions regarding 1865 01:10:20,690 --> 01:10:21,991 water supply. 1866 01:10:21,991 --> 01:10:23,192 >> welcome, sir. 1867 01:10:23,192 --> 01:10:25,192 >> thank you. 1868 01:10:25,227 --> 01:10:26,262 I MAY need assistance on the 1869 01:10:26,262 --> 01:10:27,960 repeating a couple of those. 1870 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,960 >> happy to. 1871 01:10:29,531 --> 01:10:30,800 >> you want to go one by one? 1872 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,368 >> sure f are you going to be 1873 01:10:32,368 --> 01:10:33,369 answer all of them I'll go with 1874 01:10:33,369 --> 01:10:35,369 question one. 1875 01:10:36,380 --> 01:10:37,674 When california and neighboring 1876 01:10:37,674 --> 01:10:40,410 jurisdictions are all willing to 1877 01:10:40,410 --> 01:10:42,745 move to a temporary or permanent 1878 01:10:42,745 --> 01:10:45,480 water supply, why would we be 1879 01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:47,550 the only jurisdiction to still 1880 01:10:47,550 --> 01:10:49,550 require permanent. 1881 01:10:49,752 --> 01:10:51,788 The only injures disthat is 1882 01:10:51,788 --> 01:10:53,322 moving to that -- jurisdiction 1883 01:10:53,322 --> 01:10:55,322 is sacramento metropolitan. 1884 01:10:55,825 --> 01:10:56,826 The other three fire agencies 1885 01:10:56,826 --> 01:10:59,294 continue to have the standards 1886 01:10:59,294 --> 01:11:02,832 put in place in this community 1887 01:11:02,832 --> 01:11:04,401 in 1992. 1888 01:11:04,401 --> 01:11:06,269 We have maintained since 1929 1889 01:11:06,269 --> 01:11:06,703 and plan to in the future if 1890 01:11:06,703 --> 01:11:07,970 adopted tonight. 1891 01:11:07,970 --> 01:11:10,407 >> this would be stronger than 1892 01:11:10,407 --> 01:11:12,407 the state code. 1893 01:11:12,809 --> 01:11:14,376 It is, yes. 1894 01:11:14,376 --> 01:11:16,790 Has been for many years. 1895 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:17,581 >> question two, we do other 1896 01:11:17,581 --> 01:11:19,449 districts and the state feel 1897 01:11:19,449 --> 01:11:19,716 comfortable with temporary water 1898 01:11:19,716 --> 01:11:21,716 supplies? 1899 01:11:21,885 --> 01:11:24,754 >> I wouldn't know how to answer 1900 01:11:24,754 --> 01:11:26,754 that one. 1901 01:11:26,990 --> 01:11:28,990 >> fair enough. 1902 01:11:30,194 --> 01:11:31,610 In circumstances where 1903 01:11:31,610 --> 01:11:33,610 structures under construction 1904 01:11:33,364 --> 01:11:34,631 caught fire and were not saved 1905 01:11:34,631 --> 01:11:36,233 when a temporary water source 1906 01:11:36,233 --> 01:11:37,701 was on site do we know the water 1907 01:11:37,701 --> 01:11:39,136 supply was the issue or were 1908 01:11:39,136 --> 01:11:41,438 there other factors that played 1909 01:11:41,438 --> 01:11:42,306 a role in the inability to save 1910 01:11:42,306 --> 01:11:44,306 the structure. 1911 01:11:44,975 --> 01:11:47,440 There are always other factors. 1912 01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:49,460 We don't know in this area 1913 01:11:49,460 --> 01:11:52,283 because all four of the major 1914 01:11:52,283 --> 01:11:55,883 fire agencies have had the same 1915 01:11:56,854 --> 01:11:58,789 requirement since at least 2004. 1916 01:11:58,789 --> 01:12:00,291 I wouldn't be able to speak to 1917 01:12:00,291 --> 01:12:01,392 the theoretical of why. 1918 01:12:01,392 --> 01:12:05,429 Butted can I tell you we have 1919 01:12:05,429 --> 01:12:07,832 had the same issues, we have had 1920 01:12:07,832 --> 01:12:09,467 construction sites burn in this 1921 01:12:09,467 --> 01:12:11,702 county and in nearby. 1922 01:12:11,702 --> 01:12:13,504 Every single one of them has had 1923 01:12:13,504 --> 01:12:15,707 a berm in any event water supply 1924 01:12:15,707 --> 01:12:18,107 available or alternative means 1925 01:12:18,342 --> 01:12:19,911 and methods established that 1926 01:12:19,911 --> 01:12:22,113 allowed the builder to move 1927 01:12:22,113 --> 01:12:24,513 forward without that permanent 1928 01:12:24,515 --> 01:12:25,717 water supply in place yet. 1929 01:12:25,717 --> 01:12:26,384 Apologize for not being able to 1930 01:12:26,384 --> 01:12:28,384 answer that one. 1931 01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:29,487 >> that's okay. 1932 01:12:29,487 --> 01:12:31,487 Let's see. 1933 01:12:31,723 --> 01:12:34,158 Is it likely builders would be 1934 01:12:34,158 --> 01:12:35,360 resistant to ensuring that an 1935 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,760 adequate temporary water supply 1936 01:12:38,363 --> 01:12:40,498 is present in order to safe the 1937 01:12:40,498 --> 01:12:42,898 structure they have dedicated 1938 01:12:43,133 --> 01:12:45,533 time resources to constructing. 1939 01:12:46,705 --> 01:12:47,605 >> I'd say they likely would be 1940 01:12:47,605 --> 01:12:49,341 vry receptive to save their 1941 01:12:49,341 --> 01:12:49,941 investment with cater supply. 1942 01:12:49,941 --> 01:12:51,309 It is costly. 1943 01:12:51,309 --> 01:12:52,770 I have had experience in 1944 01:12:52,770 --> 01:12:54,770 construction fires. 1945 01:12:55,113 --> 01:12:55,747 It takes many months for them to 1946 01:12:55,747 --> 01:12:57,747 demolish, including the 1947 01:12:57,816 --> 01:12:59,217 foundation based on the heat and 1948 01:12:59,217 --> 01:13:00,485 rebuild their projects, it can 1949 01:13:00,485 --> 01:13:01,787 cost tens of thousands of 1950 01:13:01,787 --> 01:13:04,256 dollars and we don't want that. 1951 01:13:04,256 --> 01:13:04,456 I think they would be open to 1952 01:13:04,456 --> 01:13:06,456 that. 1953 01:13:06,491 --> 01:13:09,728 >> and my, let's see, under the 1954 01:13:09,728 --> 01:13:10,963 exemption language, how is that 1955 01:13:10,963 --> 01:13:12,364 administered and how can 1956 01:13:12,364 --> 01:13:15,364 builders trust that there will 1957 01:13:15,701 --> 01:13:17,200 be consistency and equitable use 1958 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:18,103 of the exemptions. 1959 01:13:18,103 --> 01:13:20,503 Then under what circumstances 1960 01:13:21,306 --> 01:13:21,540 would an exemption not be 1961 01:13:21,540 --> 01:13:23,540 granted? 1962 01:13:25,377 --> 01:13:27,412 >> so the exemption that is 1963 01:13:27,412 --> 01:13:29,812 currently there place now 1964 01:13:30,549 --> 01:13:32,949 requires the permanent water 1965 01:13:34,219 --> 01:13:35,387 supply. 1966 01:13:35,387 --> 01:13:36,388 There shall a couple of 1967 01:13:36,388 --> 01:13:36,689 exceptions for rural 1968 01:13:36,689 --> 01:13:38,557 communities. 1969 01:13:38,557 --> 01:13:41,126 We are adding implicitly model 1970 01:13:41,126 --> 01:13:43,462 home complexes to give the 1971 01:13:43,462 --> 01:13:44,764 ability for model home complexes 1972 01:13:44,764 --> 01:13:46,764 to build. 1973 01:13:49,702 --> 01:13:52,380 How it can be ensure that it 1974 01:13:52,380 --> 01:13:52,737 would be used equitably, that is 1975 01:13:52,737 --> 01:13:54,737 our practice here. 1976 01:13:56,275 --> 01:13:58,611 The building official and his 1977 01:13:58,611 --> 01:13:59,612 officials and building, C.J., we 1978 01:13:59,612 --> 01:14:01,612 do it often. 1979 01:14:03,583 --> 01:14:07,183 The area south of fire station 1980 01:14:07,554 --> 01:14:09,823 77, kailee, that developed with 1981 01:14:09,823 --> 01:14:10,590 temporary water supply as an 1982 01:14:10,590 --> 01:14:12,325 established plan. 1983 01:14:12,325 --> 01:14:14,327 Approved by the fire department, 1984 01:14:14,327 --> 01:14:15,328 not by right, per code, but 1985 01:14:15,328 --> 01:14:17,564 approved by the fire department 1986 01:14:17,564 --> 01:14:19,564 and building department. 1987 01:14:19,665 --> 01:14:20,934 And we created a phased approach 1988 01:14:20,934 --> 01:14:22,680 and we do this often. 1989 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:22,936 It is something that we deal 1990 01:14:22,936 --> 01:14:25,336 with all the time. 1991 01:14:26,406 --> 01:14:26,639 Then can you repeat the last 1992 01:14:26,639 --> 01:14:26,907 portion. 1993 01:14:26,907 --> 01:14:28,675 Question. 1994 01:14:28,675 --> 01:14:29,509 >> the last part was under what 1995 01:14:29,509 --> 01:14:31,478 circumstances would an exemption 1996 01:14:31,478 --> 01:14:33,246 not be granted. 1997 01:14:33,246 --> 01:14:35,348 Yes, it would be almost 1998 01:14:35,348 --> 01:14:37,748 implicitly when there's an 1999 01:14:38,118 --> 01:14:39,319 exposure, where we feel that the 2000 01:14:39,319 --> 01:14:41,688 construction of the building, 2001 01:14:41,688 --> 01:14:44,691 look at say the project you just 2002 01:14:44,691 --> 01:14:45,959 talked about, a four-story 2003 01:14:45,959 --> 01:14:47,694 apartment complex built near a 2004 01:14:47,694 --> 01:14:49,997 property line we wouldn't want 2005 01:14:49,997 --> 01:14:50,864 that to happen because of the 2006 01:14:50,864 --> 01:14:52,433 exposure for neighbors. 2007 01:14:52,433 --> 01:14:54,101 That project had an exemption 2008 01:14:54,101 --> 01:14:55,134 where they were able to build at 2009 01:14:55,134 --> 01:14:56,503 the north ends of the property 2010 01:14:56,503 --> 01:14:58,338 because there were no exposures. 2011 01:14:58,338 --> 01:14:59,339 As you move to the south on that 2012 01:14:59,339 --> 01:15:01,475 part of the property you get 2013 01:15:01,475 --> 01:15:03,475 near neighborhoods. 2014 01:15:06,213 --> 01:15:08,213 We phase it. 2015 01:15:08,716 --> 01:15:09,984 We have routinely and 2016 01:15:09,984 --> 01:15:10,985 consistently looked for issues 2017 01:15:10,985 --> 01:15:14,210 and we will continue to do that. 2018 01:15:14,210 --> 01:15:17,210 >> thank you, to my left, 2019 01:15:19,694 --> 01:15:20,127 questions, comments. 2020 01:15:20,127 --> 01:15:21,629 Councilmember suen. 2021 01:15:21,629 --> 01:15:23,397 >> when you talk about model 2022 01:15:23,397 --> 01:15:23,965 homes, single family 2023 01:15:23,965 --> 01:15:25,965 residential, separate 2024 01:15:27,568 --> 01:15:29,568 construction, not attached. 2025 01:15:29,704 --> 01:15:30,371 Everybody times they're built 2026 01:15:30,371 --> 01:15:32,371 away from everything. 2027 01:15:34,909 --> 01:15:37,111 In those instances, why would 2028 01:15:37,111 --> 01:15:39,379 you not -- why would that not 2029 01:15:39,379 --> 01:15:40,615 qualify for an exemption? 2030 01:15:40,615 --> 01:15:42,615 >> that will. 2031 01:15:43,551 --> 01:15:46,921 We have done in the past using 2032 01:15:46,921 --> 01:15:49,224 the language rural community, in 2033 01:15:49,224 --> 01:15:50,858 this code adoption cycle we 2034 01:15:50,858 --> 01:15:52,494 called out model home complexes 2035 01:15:52,494 --> 01:15:53,595 so there would be no confusion. 2036 01:15:53,595 --> 01:15:55,830 We do that often and continue to 2037 01:15:55,830 --> 01:15:58,830 do it that the future. 2038 01:15:59,990 --> 01:16:00,702 >> are you familiar with a 2039 01:16:00,702 --> 01:16:03,102 different policy that's going 2040 01:16:03,537 --> 01:16:06,537 through -- you mentioned only 2041 01:16:06,575 --> 01:16:08,577 one, sac metro, but my 2042 01:16:08,577 --> 01:16:10,612 understanding is that MAY be 2043 01:16:10,612 --> 01:16:10,879 percolating throughout the 2044 01:16:10,879 --> 01:16:12,879 region. 2045 01:16:13,480 --> 01:16:13,781 Is that -- 2046 01:16:13,781 --> 01:16:15,350 >> very possible. 2047 01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:17,519 The city of elk grove is at the 2048 01:16:17,519 --> 01:16:19,287 front end of the code adoption. 2049 01:16:19,287 --> 01:16:20,488 The other fire agencies are 2050 01:16:20,488 --> 01:16:23,392 going to be behind us slightly. 2051 01:16:23,392 --> 01:16:24,893 This MAY be going on in other 2052 01:16:24,893 --> 01:16:26,762 fire agencies as well. 2053 01:16:26,762 --> 01:16:28,497 As of right now, the only one 2054 01:16:28,497 --> 01:16:30,332 I'm aware of that has agreed to 2055 01:16:30,332 --> 01:16:33,332 do that is sac metro. 2056 01:16:33,902 --> 01:16:35,904 I did speak with the fire 2057 01:16:35,904 --> 01:16:36,938 marshals of folsom and city of 2058 01:16:36,938 --> 01:16:38,607 sacramento here in the last 24 2059 01:16:38,607 --> 01:16:39,740 hours and they had not heard of 2060 01:16:39,740 --> 01:16:41,740 it. 2061 01:16:41,543 --> 01:16:43,943 It's still relatively new. 2062 01:16:44,647 --> 01:16:46,615 >> is there some deadline or 2063 01:16:46,615 --> 01:16:48,517 driving force that this needs to 2064 01:16:48,517 --> 01:16:51,120 be a sense of urgency that this 2065 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,888 needs to be adopted today? 2066 01:16:52,888 --> 01:16:53,556 >> I'd be happy to answer that 2067 01:16:53,556 --> 01:16:55,556 or -- 2068 01:16:55,591 --> 01:16:55,773 >> I can address that a little 2069 01:16:55,773 --> 01:16:57,773 bit. 2070 01:16:58,270 --> 01:16:59,595 The council MAY know the state 2071 01:16:59,595 --> 01:16:59,829 codes go into effect every three 2072 01:16:59,829 --> 01:17:01,970 years. 2073 01:17:01,970 --> 01:17:02,465 The deadline if nothing happens 2074 01:17:02,465 --> 01:17:05,100 is they go into effect the first 2075 01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:07,401 of the year, JANUARY 1, 2026. 2076 01:17:08,171 --> 01:17:10,730 So that's why we go through this 2077 01:17:10,730 --> 01:17:12,473 exercise every three years. 2078 01:17:12,642 --> 01:17:14,610 Make local exceptions based on 2079 01:17:14,610 --> 01:17:15,577 certain findings, topography. 2080 01:17:15,577 --> 01:17:18,414 Tonight would be the last night 2081 01:17:18,414 --> 01:17:19,749 to do the first read of the 2082 01:17:19,749 --> 01:17:21,550 ordinance, the second read 2083 01:17:21,550 --> 01:17:22,285 NOVEMBER, 12 and then the 2084 01:17:22,285 --> 01:17:24,187 ordinance typically effective 30 2085 01:17:24,187 --> 01:17:25,922 days later, a little bit before 2086 01:17:25,922 --> 01:17:27,657 JANUARY 1. 2087 01:17:27,657 --> 01:17:28,958 We made the ordinance effective 2088 01:17:28,958 --> 01:17:30,259 JANUARY 1. 2089 01:17:30,259 --> 01:17:32,610 My recommendation to the 2090 01:17:32,610 --> 01:17:33,430 council, even if you have some 2091 01:17:33,430 --> 01:17:34,731 concerns, I understand that the 2092 01:17:34,731 --> 01:17:37,567 csd board is going too look at 2093 01:17:37,567 --> 01:17:38,680 this as well, tell me if I'm 2094 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,680 wrong, chief. 2095 01:17:40,470 --> 01:17:41,705 But go ahead and do your first 2096 01:17:41,705 --> 01:17:43,705 read tonight. 2097 01:17:44,474 --> 01:17:45,642 If there is a desire by the 2098 01:17:45,642 --> 01:17:46,777 council later, we should be able 2099 01:17:46,777 --> 01:17:48,712 to amend the code. 2100 01:17:48,712 --> 01:17:50,847 I need to firm up that research 2101 01:17:50,847 --> 01:17:51,915 but I'm fairly confident we can 2102 01:17:51,915 --> 01:17:53,117 do it later. 2103 01:17:53,117 --> 01:17:55,752 If you don't take action you 2104 01:17:55,752 --> 01:17:58,755 MISS The window to adopt the 2105 01:17:58,755 --> 01:17:59,220 code for the JANUARY 1, 2026 2106 01:17:59,220 --> 01:17:59,589 deadline. 2107 01:17:59,589 --> 01:18:01,589 >> okay. 2108 01:18:01,625 --> 01:18:04,428 So, yeah, I was trying to go the 2109 01:18:04,428 --> 01:18:06,130 other way, if things could 2110 01:18:06,130 --> 01:18:07,531 change would we want to adopt 2111 01:18:07,531 --> 01:18:07,998 tonight only to change it later 2112 01:18:07,998 --> 01:18:09,980 on. 2113 01:18:09,980 --> 01:18:10,768 But it sounds like we'll 2114 01:18:10,768 --> 01:18:12,536 still -- we can change at the 2115 01:18:12,536 --> 01:18:13,570 second reading. 2116 01:18:13,570 --> 01:18:14,972 Well, you can't quite change in 2117 01:18:14,972 --> 01:18:16,207 the second reading, council 2118 01:18:16,207 --> 01:18:17,841 knows this would be the first 2119 01:18:17,841 --> 01:18:19,420 read tonight and you can't make 2120 01:18:19,420 --> 01:18:19,301 changes between first and second 2121 01:18:19,301 --> 01:18:21,178 reading. 2122 01:18:21,178 --> 01:18:22,379 If you decided to make changes 2123 01:18:22,379 --> 01:18:24,214 in the second read that becomes 2124 01:18:24,214 --> 01:18:25,950 your first reading. 2125 01:18:25,950 --> 01:18:27,351 Then the code goes into effect 2126 01:18:27,351 --> 01:18:29,419 30 days after the second 2127 01:18:29,419 --> 01:18:30,888 reading, thinking forward, our 2128 01:18:30,888 --> 01:18:31,956 next meeting after the 12th 2129 01:18:31,956 --> 01:18:33,240 would be first meeting of 2130 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,240 DECEMBER, whatever date that is. 2131 01:18:36,259 --> 01:18:38,429 Then you MISS The 30-day window. 2132 01:18:38,429 --> 01:18:40,197 You have a period of time where 2133 01:18:40,197 --> 01:18:42,266 the state codes, default state 2134 01:18:42,266 --> 01:18:43,367 codes went into effect. 2135 01:18:43,367 --> 01:18:46,300 My recommendation would be go 2136 01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:46,237 ahead and do the first read 2137 01:18:46,237 --> 01:18:47,405 tonight. 2138 01:18:47,405 --> 01:18:49,307 If you decide later to make a 2139 01:18:49,307 --> 01:18:49,740 change we should be able to do 2140 01:18:49,740 --> 01:18:51,740 that. 2141 01:18:52,243 --> 01:18:54,912 You don't want a gap between the 2142 01:18:54,912 --> 01:18:56,140 first of the year and the 2143 01:18:56,140 --> 01:18:57,248 effective date of your new code. 2144 01:18:57,248 --> 01:19:00,848 You want to close it up. 2145 01:19:01,119 --> 01:19:03,188 This is one issue of many in the 2146 01:19:03,188 --> 01:19:05,390 state code, uniform codes are 2147 01:19:05,390 --> 01:19:07,725 comprehensive as council knows. 2148 01:19:07,725 --> 01:19:09,227 so you want to get your local 2149 01:19:09,227 --> 01:19:09,494 amendments adopted sooner than 2150 01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,494 later. 2151 01:19:13,264 --> 01:19:14,599 If this is the only issue, fire 2152 01:19:14,599 --> 01:19:16,201 suppression issue we should be 2153 01:19:16,201 --> 01:19:18,470 able to tweak that later. 2154 01:19:18,470 --> 01:19:19,204 And the csd board MAY have an 2155 01:19:19,204 --> 01:19:20,572 opinion as well. 2156 01:19:20,572 --> 01:19:22,274 >> I'm sorry -- 2157 01:19:22,274 --> 01:19:24,209 >> I wanted to clarify I work 2158 01:19:24,209 --> 01:19:27,112 for the csd and we had our first 2159 01:19:27,112 --> 01:19:27,412 reading and then this issue was 2160 01:19:27,412 --> 01:19:29,412 identified. 2161 01:19:29,614 --> 01:19:31,149 We have moved to, past the first 2162 01:19:31,149 --> 01:19:32,383 reading and second reading is 2163 01:19:32,383 --> 01:19:34,519 scheduled for 5th of NOVEMBER. 2164 01:19:34,519 --> 01:19:36,388 We try to overlap them because 2165 01:19:36,388 --> 01:19:37,890 it is compressed schedule. 2166 01:19:37,890 --> 01:19:39,424 I'm not certain the direction 2167 01:19:39,424 --> 01:19:42,161 that my board would choose to go 2168 01:19:42,161 --> 01:19:43,395 if they choose to make changes 2169 01:19:43,395 --> 01:19:45,630 at all. 2170 01:19:45,630 --> 01:19:46,298 >> councilmember suen as an 2171 01:19:46,298 --> 01:19:48,000 overarching concern and I have 2172 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:49,535 heard this before, it is not 2173 01:19:49,535 --> 01:19:51,403 great practice to try to revise 2174 01:19:51,403 --> 01:19:52,304 the codes on the fly at the 2175 01:19:52,304 --> 01:19:54,304 council meeting. 2176 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,241 If there are some considerations 2177 01:19:56,241 --> 01:19:57,843 council wants the staff to take, 2178 01:19:57,843 --> 01:19:59,578 and look at some potential 2179 01:19:59,578 --> 01:20:01,747 changes, my recommendation is, 2180 01:20:01,747 --> 01:20:03,682 again, go ahead and do the first 2181 01:20:03,682 --> 01:20:05,951 read, the ordinance wouldn't be 2182 01:20:05,951 --> 01:20:06,152 effective, can you change it 2183 01:20:06,152 --> 01:20:07,653 later. 2184 01:20:07,653 --> 01:20:09,622 If you want to direct staff and 2185 01:20:09,622 --> 01:20:10,589 ask the csd staff to look at 2186 01:20:10,589 --> 01:20:13,125 these as well with the city 2187 01:20:13,125 --> 01:20:14,760 staff we can do it. 2188 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,228 Then we can give you further 2189 01:20:16,228 --> 01:20:17,496 information at the next meeting. 2190 01:20:17,496 --> 01:20:19,310 But my recommendation which is 2191 01:20:19,310 --> 01:20:20,133 the same as staff, do the first 2192 01:20:20,133 --> 01:20:22,133 read tonight. 2193 01:20:22,535 --> 01:20:22,735 There's no downside to doing 2194 01:20:22,735 --> 01:20:24,735 that. 2195 01:20:25,137 --> 01:20:25,371 There is a downside to not doing 2196 01:20:25,371 --> 01:20:27,371 it. 2197 01:20:29,375 --> 01:20:32,450 >> to clarify, I had no concerns 2198 01:20:32,450 --> 01:20:34,681 over the rest of the whole item. 2199 01:20:34,681 --> 01:20:35,948 Would it make sense to do the 2200 01:20:35,948 --> 01:20:37,150 first read and continue the 2201 01:20:37,150 --> 01:20:39,180 temporary water issue. 2202 01:20:39,180 --> 01:20:40,190 Or can you -- you don't even at 2203 01:20:40,190 --> 01:20:41,988 one time parcel it out? 2204 01:20:41,988 --> 01:20:44,557 >> I wouldn't do it that way. 2205 01:20:44,557 --> 01:20:46,957 Do the first read. 2206 01:20:47,660 --> 01:20:51,231 If the direction of the council 2207 01:20:51,231 --> 01:20:52,932 is to take a look at the water 2208 01:20:52,932 --> 01:20:54,167 supply, water suppression issue 2209 01:20:54,167 --> 01:20:55,769 give us that direction. 2210 01:20:55,769 --> 01:20:58,271 Keep in mind that the downside 2211 01:20:58,271 --> 01:21:00,730 to that is you MAY have a 2212 01:21:00,730 --> 01:21:01,641 situation where your local codes 2213 01:21:01,641 --> 01:21:05,241 don't go into effect on the 2214 01:21:06,450 --> 01:21:07,614 first of the year and it at 2215 01:21:07,614 --> 01:21:09,115 least with the fire suppression 2216 01:21:09,115 --> 01:21:10,484 issue and you MAY have a 2217 01:21:10,484 --> 01:21:11,885 situation where there's a gap. 2218 01:21:11,885 --> 01:21:13,921 Even if you knew you were going 2219 01:21:13,921 --> 01:21:15,655 to make this change later my 2220 01:21:15,655 --> 01:21:16,924 recommendation would be do the 2221 01:21:16,924 --> 01:21:18,892 first read tonight, second read 2222 01:21:18,892 --> 01:21:20,794 the next meeting and direct 2223 01:21:20,794 --> 01:21:21,428 staff to bring back another 2224 01:21:21,428 --> 01:21:21,862 local ordinance amendments a 2225 01:21:21,862 --> 01:21:23,862 little later. 2226 01:21:26,300 --> 01:21:28,102 But there's going to be a period 2227 01:21:28,102 --> 01:21:29,770 where the fire suppression 2228 01:21:29,770 --> 01:21:32,239 ordinance with the water supply 2229 01:21:32,239 --> 01:21:33,374 issue is going to be in effect. 2230 01:21:33,374 --> 01:21:35,976 I don't think that's necessarily 2231 01:21:35,976 --> 01:21:37,410 a bad thing, that's a policy 2232 01:21:37,410 --> 01:21:38,112 decision for the council. 2233 01:21:38,112 --> 01:21:39,680 >> okay. 2234 01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:40,448 Make sense? 2235 01:21:40,448 --> 01:21:42,448 >> makes sense. 2236 01:21:42,916 --> 01:21:44,952 Thank you, great questions. 2237 01:21:44,952 --> 01:21:47,352 Councilmember -- vice mayor? 2238 01:21:48,222 --> 01:21:50,900 >> thank you MADAM Mayor, thank 2239 01:21:50,900 --> 01:21:50,390 you for bringing up those 2240 01:21:50,390 --> 01:21:51,993 concerns. 2241 01:21:51,993 --> 01:21:54,328 One quick question, if the 2242 01:21:54,328 --> 01:21:55,529 permanent water supply is not 2243 01:21:55,529 --> 01:21:55,763 available, does that delay the 2244 01:21:55,763 --> 01:21:57,763 project? 2245 01:21:58,633 --> 01:22:00,670 >> it can, yeah. 2246 01:22:00,670 --> 01:22:01,935 How many depending on when the 2247 01:22:01,935 --> 01:22:05,390 water is available or is it 2248 01:22:05,390 --> 01:22:07,390 talking weeks, months? 2249 01:22:07,742 --> 01:22:08,910 >> so water in our county is 2250 01:22:08,910 --> 01:22:10,111 typically administered through a 2251 01:22:10,111 --> 01:22:12,111 variety of agencies. 2252 01:22:13,247 --> 01:22:14,749 Yes, it absolutely can. 2253 01:22:14,749 --> 01:22:16,851 One of the things that -- that's 2254 01:22:16,851 --> 01:22:17,619 why we often work with our 2255 01:22:17,619 --> 01:22:18,553 developers on temporary 2256 01:22:18,553 --> 01:22:20,855 solutions to get them where they 2257 01:22:20,855 --> 01:22:23,855 need to go, phased development. 2258 01:22:27,227 --> 01:22:30,799 Yeah, it's fair to say that. 2259 01:22:30,799 --> 01:22:31,866 >> thanks for bringing up, john, 2260 01:22:31,866 --> 01:22:33,568 trying to do something where we 2261 01:22:33,568 --> 01:22:36,568 can amend it later on. 2262 01:22:37,973 --> 01:22:41,573 To solve that fix as well. 2263 01:22:42,611 --> 01:22:44,611 >> councilmember brewer. 2264 01:22:45,514 --> 01:22:47,515 I definitely thank the council 2265 01:22:47,515 --> 01:22:49,851 for consideration and some of 2266 01:22:49,851 --> 01:22:52,851 the points they raise and 2267 01:22:55,924 --> 01:22:57,924 questions. 2268 01:22:58,761 --> 01:23:02,630 You want to make sure you do the 2269 01:23:02,630 --> 01:23:04,165 policy with all parties involved 2270 01:23:04,165 --> 01:23:06,565 and everybody providing the 2271 01:23:07,403 --> 01:23:10,403 input that's necessary to give 2272 01:23:15,143 --> 01:23:16,612 you something that will work. 2273 01:23:16,612 --> 01:23:18,981 Looking at the consideration for 2274 01:23:18,981 --> 01:23:21,317 the first reading, and the 2275 01:23:21,317 --> 01:23:24,317 second reading, my question is, 2276 01:23:25,287 --> 01:23:28,887 is there a drawback to applying 2277 01:23:29,925 --> 01:23:30,793 or using the state fire code 2278 01:23:30,793 --> 01:23:32,793 language? 2279 01:23:33,295 --> 01:23:35,431 And what are the drawbacking to 2280 01:23:35,431 --> 01:23:35,965 that. 2281 01:23:35,965 --> 01:23:36,231 That. 2282 01:23:36,231 --> 01:23:37,934 There are. 2283 01:23:37,934 --> 01:23:39,902 I haven't had an opportunity to 2284 01:23:39,902 --> 01:23:40,903 explain this to my board of 2285 01:23:40,903 --> 01:23:42,538 directors, this is my opinion as 2286 01:23:42,538 --> 01:23:44,538 the fire marshal. 2287 01:23:44,907 --> 01:23:47,509 State fire code language gives 2288 01:23:47,509 --> 01:23:50,450 exceptions to reduce the amount 2289 01:23:50,450 --> 01:23:53,450 of water supply required based 2290 01:23:53,348 --> 01:23:54,217 on proximity to the property 2291 01:23:54,217 --> 01:23:56,217 line. 2292 01:23:56,853 --> 01:23:59,589 So there is a variety of ways 2293 01:23:59,589 --> 01:24:01,589 that that's done. 2294 01:24:01,824 --> 01:24:03,660 Walter supply is calculated 2295 01:24:03,660 --> 01:24:04,527 based on construction type, 2296 01:24:04,527 --> 01:24:05,562 height, mass. 2297 01:24:05,562 --> 01:24:07,263 You have a large building, 2298 01:24:07,263 --> 01:24:09,650 reference to the four-story 2299 01:24:09,650 --> 01:24:10,660 apartment complex that's built 2300 01:24:10,660 --> 01:24:11,935 out of wood. 2301 01:24:11,935 --> 01:24:13,670 It could be close to the 2302 01:24:13,670 --> 01:24:15,605 property line. 2303 01:24:15,605 --> 01:24:17,307 We're a community, this is my 2304 01:24:17,307 --> 01:24:18,700 opinion, that does infill 2305 01:24:18,700 --> 01:24:19,943 development. 2306 01:24:19,943 --> 01:24:22,112 This is the state code is the 2307 01:24:22,112 --> 01:24:22,412 minimum's in the state of 2308 01:24:22,412 --> 01:24:24,412 california. 2309 01:24:24,815 --> 01:24:26,816 Our amendments have been put in 2310 01:24:26,816 --> 01:24:27,818 place based on our -- the 2311 01:24:27,818 --> 01:24:29,419 challenges we face in this 2312 01:24:29,419 --> 01:24:30,487 community. 2313 01:24:30,487 --> 01:24:32,155 That's one of them. 2314 01:24:32,155 --> 01:24:34,555 We build larger buildings 2315 01:24:34,557 --> 01:24:34,958 adjacent to existing 2316 01:24:34,958 --> 01:24:36,660 residential. 2317 01:24:36,660 --> 01:24:38,161 Hence the reason that when 2318 01:24:38,161 --> 01:24:40,431 these -- I should back up to 2319 01:24:40,431 --> 01:24:41,832 give the council a little bit. 2320 01:24:41,832 --> 01:24:43,901 There was a conversation between 2321 01:24:43,901 --> 01:24:45,135 some representatives and myself 2322 01:24:45,135 --> 01:24:46,436 prior to this, it wasn't clear 2323 01:24:46,436 --> 01:24:46,637 they wanted to go to the state 2324 01:24:46,637 --> 01:24:48,637 code. 2325 01:24:48,805 --> 01:24:51,175 I thought it was a model home 2326 01:24:51,175 --> 01:24:51,675 complex issue, hence the change 2327 01:24:51,675 --> 01:24:52,776 we made. 2328 01:24:52,776 --> 01:24:54,111 Then this came up. 2329 01:24:54,111 --> 01:24:56,800 We have been working with them 2330 01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,680 on it, it just wasn't clarified. 2331 01:24:59,949 --> 01:25:00,184 We thought we addressed the 2332 01:25:00,184 --> 01:25:01,885 issued. 2333 01:25:01,885 --> 01:25:03,954 I as the fire marshal recommend 2334 01:25:03,954 --> 01:25:06,123 that we do not do this for 2335 01:25:06,123 --> 01:25:06,357 multi-family, that is my 2336 01:25:06,357 --> 01:25:08,258 concern. 2337 01:25:08,258 --> 01:25:10,940 As COUNCILMAN Suen indicated, 2338 01:25:10,940 --> 01:25:11,996 single family homes, I think 2339 01:25:11,996 --> 01:25:13,300 there's room to work there. 2340 01:25:13,300 --> 01:25:16,300 Reversion to the state code 2341 01:25:16,133 --> 01:25:19,136 would give it for all projects. 2342 01:25:19,136 --> 01:25:19,370 Buildings like kubota and large 2343 01:25:19,370 --> 01:25:21,720 hotels. 2344 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,374 >> if I can jump in for a 2345 01:25:23,374 --> 01:25:24,775 minute, we are seeing more 2346 01:25:24,775 --> 01:25:26,677 single family product with 2347 01:25:26,677 --> 01:25:28,579 denser neighborhoods where the 2348 01:25:28,579 --> 01:25:28,980 separations get smaller 2349 01:25:28,980 --> 01:25:30,980 certainly. 2350 01:25:31,315 --> 01:25:32,850 I've been involved with projects 2351 01:25:32,850 --> 01:25:34,185 that have had fire issues happen 2352 01:25:34,185 --> 01:25:36,185 during construction. 2353 01:25:36,254 --> 01:25:38,123 We have minimal if no setbacks. 2354 01:25:38,123 --> 01:25:40,190 Those cases when you don't have 2355 01:25:40,190 --> 01:25:41,826 the onsite water it does create 2356 01:25:41,826 --> 01:25:42,860 a challenge for the fire 2357

through this 2825 01:41:22,516 --> 01:41:24,180 exercise last week when they did 2826 01:41:24,180 --> 01:41:26,418 the great california shakeout, 2827 01:41:26,454 --> 01:41:27,822 and that was a testing exercise. 2828 01:41:27,822 --> 01:41:30,224 We need to understand local 2829 01:41:30,224 --> 01:41:31,726 risk, flood history and 2830 01:41:31,726 --> 01:41:33,394 associated response plans and 2831 01:41:33,394 --> 01:41:36,640 exercise the response plans to 2832 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:36,297 identify any gaps or updates 2833 01:41:36,297 --> 01:41:38,297 needed. 2834 01:41:39,233 --> 01:41:40,868 >> we also have 688 storm pipe 2835 01:41:40,868 --> 01:41:43,804 outfalls that are cleaned every 2836 01:41:43,804 --> 01:41:46,674 year, we have 64 miles of 2837 01:41:46,674 --> 01:41:48,674 roadside ditches, 2.5 million 2838 01:41:48,676 --> 01:41:51,760 storm pipe, 8,000 manholes, that 2839 01:41:51,245 --> 01:41:53,381 are on a 10-year cycle. 2840 01:41:53,381 --> 01:41:55,160 Every year we inspect and 2841 01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,160 maintain 10% of those. 2842 01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:58,420 So within 10 years everything is 2843 01:41:58,420 --> 01:42:00,420 inspected and cleaned. 2844 01:42:00,522 --> 01:42:03,391 >> initially we have creeks and 2845 01:42:03,391 --> 01:42:04,759 chance dredged on as-needed 2846 01:42:04,759 --> 01:42:05,259 basis. 2847 01:42:05,259 --> 01:42:06,727 Basis. 2848 01:42:06,727 --> 01:42:08,897 so what is flooding, this MAY 2849 01:42:08,897 --> 01:42:09,531 seem like a silly question, 2850 01:42:09,531 --> 01:42:11,399 however there are different 2851 01:42:11,399 --> 01:42:12,734 types of flooding events. 2852 01:42:12,734 --> 01:42:13,802 It is important to reference 2853 01:42:13,802 --> 01:42:16,710 this whenever we consider 2854 01:42:16,710 --> 01:42:17,338 flooding that takes place across 2855 01:42:17,338 --> 01:42:18,173 the nation in different 2856 01:42:18,173 --> 01:42:20,308 circumstances that we see from 2857 01:42:20,308 --> 01:42:21,743 across the nation and how that 2858 01:42:21,743 --> 01:42:23,712 MAY not be the same story here 2859 01:42:23,712 --> 01:42:24,112 in elk grove based on 2860 01:42:24,112 --> 01:42:25,681 topography. 2861 01:42:25,681 --> 01:42:27,416 It is worth highlighting. 2862 01:42:27,416 --> 01:42:29,718 Sacramento the most common types 2863 01:42:29,718 --> 01:42:31,190 of flooding are river flooding, 2864 01:42:31,190 --> 01:42:31,486 localized flooding and flash 2865 01:42:31,486 --> 01:42:33,486 flooding. 2866 01:42:33,656 --> 01:42:35,924 For an educational piece the 2867 01:42:35,924 --> 01:42:38,193 types of alert and warning, 2868 01:42:38,193 --> 01:42:40,696 advisory, that is be aware, 2869 01:42:40,696 --> 01:42:42,131 means hazardous weather event is 2870 01:42:42,131 --> 01:42:43,399 occurring, imminent or likely 2871 01:42:43,399 --> 01:42:43,632 through the national weather 2872 01:42:43,632 --> 01:42:45,632 service. 2873 01:42:46,368 --> 01:42:48,571 A watch, be prepared, means 2874 01:42:48,571 --> 01:42:50,406 hazardous weather event has 2875 01:42:50,406 --> 01:42:51,273 increased orring aisn'tly 2876 01:42:51,273 --> 01:42:53,273 occurrence is uncertain. 2877 01:42:53,542 --> 01:42:53,876 And then warning, you should 2878 01:42:53,876 --> 01:42:55,811 take action. 2879 01:42:55,811 --> 01:42:58,800 The conditions pose a threat to 2880 01:42:58,800 --> 01:42:59,614 life and property and those in 2881 01:42:59,614 --> 01:43:00,649 the path of the storm should 2882 01:43:00,649 --> 01:43:02,649 take immediate action. 2883 01:43:03,886 --> 01:43:06,422 Here is just a fun visual, this 2884 01:43:06,422 --> 01:43:06,656 is national weather service's 2885 01:43:06,656 --> 01:43:08,656 graphic. 2886 01:43:08,825 --> 01:43:10,393 But it really highlights the 2887 01:43:10,393 --> 01:43:11,727 importance -- the difference 2888 01:43:11,727 --> 01:43:13,129 between watch and warning. 2889 01:43:13,129 --> 01:43:15,980 It is a great graphic, when you 2890 01:43:15,980 --> 01:43:15,999 have a watch you have the 2891 01:43:15,999 --> 01:43:18,399 ingredients necessary for a 2892 01:43:18,534 --> 01:43:19,269 significant weather event. 2893 01:43:19,269 --> 01:43:20,703 However whenever those 2894 01:43:20,703 --> 01:43:23,103 ingredients come together you 2895 01:43:23,405 --> 01:43:24,707 are in a full blown warning and 2896 01:43:24,707 --> 01:43:26,608 you need to take action. 2897 01:43:26,608 --> 01:43:27,911 Flood notifications, highlighted 2898

county office of 2908 01:43:41,424 --> 01:43:43,860 emergency services and city of 2909 01:43:43,860 --> 01:43:46,620 elk grove are the ones that 2910 01:43:46,620 --> 01:43:48,365 issue for our local area. 2911 01:43:48,365 --> 01:43:49,933 >> I want to quickly highlight 2912 01:43:49,933 --> 01:43:51,101 the drainage system and 13 2913 01:43:51,101 --> 01:43:53,501 different watersheds we have 2914 01:43:54,438 --> 01:43:55,806 within our city boundaries and 2915 01:43:55,806 --> 01:43:57,806 planning areas. 2916 01:43:59,743 --> 01:44:01,111 Basically, the storm, the water, 2917

01:44:26,369 ditches within parcels, people 2930 01:44:26,369 --> 01:44:27,505 in backyards and side yards that 2931 01:44:27,505 --> 01:44:29,373 eventually make their way into 2932 01:44:29,373 --> 01:44:31,373 the laguna creek. 2933 01:44:31,776 --> 01:44:34,345 But the rest of the city has 2934 01:44:34,345 --> 01:44:36,614 design storm system with curb 2935 01:44:36,614 --> 01:44:38,149 gutter inlet, stormdrain pipes 2936 01:44:38,149 --> 01:44:40,149 and manholes. 2937 01:44:43,540 --> 01:44:44,888 Elk grove creek is the elk grove 2938 01:44:44,888 --> 01:44:46,524 creek watershed is central, 2939 01:44:46,524 --> 01:44:48,259 grant line and drains into 2940 01:44:48,259 --> 01:44:49,594 laguna creek. 2941 01:44:49,594 --> 01:44:51,994 Strawberry creek water showed 2942 01:44:52,763 --> 01:44:54,999 the north side of town, small 2943 01:44:54,999 --> 01:44:56,868 pump station for one pump 2944 01:44:56,868 --> 01:44:59,270 station but mostly partial area 2945 01:44:59,270 --> 01:45:01,172 of the city drains into the 2946 01:45:01,172 --> 01:45:03,172 strawberry creek. 2947 01:45:04,442 --> 01:45:06,511 Laguna west channel, has 2948 01:45:06,511 --> 01:45:08,846 basically flows into the beach 2949 01:45:08,846 --> 01:45:10,748 lake and gravity flow. 2950 01:45:10,748 --> 01:45:12,850 The next three watersheds, 2951 01:45:12,850 --> 01:45:15,850 laguna lake side, laguna stone 2952 01:45:16,210 --> 01:45:16,788 lake they all depend on a pump 2953 01:45:16,788 --> 01:45:17,989 station system. 2954 01:45:17,989 --> 01:45:19,824 They have their own independent 2955 01:45:19,824 --> 01:45:21,926 pump stations protected by 100 2956 01:45:21,926 --> 01:45:23,395 year levee on the west side. 2957 01:45:23,395 --> 01:45:25,197 Basically whenever there's storm 2958 01:45:25,197 --> 01:45:27,833 wait a minuter they get drained 2959 01:45:27,833 --> 01:45:28,330 via pumps into the storm lake 2960 01:45:28,330 --> 01:45:30,330 area. 2961 01:45:30,936 --> 01:45:32,738 Sheds a, earhart channel, shed b 2962 01:45:32,738 --> 01:45:35,374 franklin creek as well as shed 2963 01:45:35,374 --> 01:45:37,808 c, they're also gravity flow, 2964 01:45:37,808 --> 01:45:38,900 they go into the storm lakes as 2965 01:45:38,900 --> 01:45:40,900 well. 2966 01:45:40,411 --> 01:45:42,246 We have shed d, which is in our 2967 01:45:42,246 --> 01:45:44,383 study area right now, studying 2968 01:45:44,383 --> 01:45:47,385 this as part of the stormdrain 2969 01:45:47,385 --> 01:45:49,785 master plan update project. 2970 01:45:50,322 --> 01:45:50,655 This also drains into the form 2971 01:45:50,655 --> 01:45:52,240 lake. 2972 01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:53,626 We have small watershed on the 2973 01:45:53,626 --> 01:45:55,828 south side, south of the town 2974 01:45:55,828 --> 01:45:57,620 grant line channel, it's 2975 01:45:57,620 --> 01:45:58,764 actually drained via pump 2976 01:45:58,764 --> 01:46:00,499 station next to the golf course 2977 01:46:00,499 --> 01:46:02,401 and goes into deer creek. 2978 01:46:02,401 --> 01:46:04,236 Finally we have the deer creek 2979 01:46:04,236 --> 01:46:06,439 watershed, this one basically 2980 01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:09,642 everything is south or east of 2981 01:46:09,642 --> 01:46:10,643 grant line road that goes into 2982 01:46:10,643 --> 01:46:12,345 deer creek. 2983 01:46:12,345 --> 01:46:13,612 With that, I'd like to talk 2984 01:46:13,612 --> 01:46:15,381 about some of the flood risks 2985 01:46:15,381 --> 01:46:16,382 that we have here in the city of 2986 01:46:16,382 --> 01:46:18,382 elk grove. 2987 01:46:18,651 --> 01:46:19,719 First the 100 year floodplain 2988 01:46:19,719 --> 01:46:21,719 map. 2989 01:46:22,188 --> 01:46:25,358 100 year flood is a flood that 2990 01:46:25,358 --> 01:46:26,626 has 1 2991 01:46:26,626 --> 01:46:28,626 1% chance. 2992 01:46:29,228 --> 01:46:30,897 It's not a flood that occurs 2993 01:46:30,897 --> 01:46:32,897 every 100 years. 2994 01:46:33,166 --> 01:46:34,934 >> say that one more time. 2995 01:46:34,934 --> 01:46:36,903 100 year flood is a flood event 2996 01:46:36,903 --> 01:46:39,405 that has a 1% chance of 2997 01:46:39,405 --> 01:46:42,410 exceedance in any given year. 2998 01:46:42,410 --> 01:46:43,809 not a flood event that happens 2999 01:46:43,809 --> 01:46:45,809 every 100 years. 3000 01:46:47,547 --> 01:46:51,147 This map is managed by fema. 3001 01:46:51,451 --> 01:46:55,555 The flood emergency -- sr.Ry, I 3002 01:46:55,555 --> 01:46:57,955 blanked out on fema. 3003 01:46:58,491 --> 01:46:59,459 Federal emergency management 3004 01:46:59,459 --> 01:47:01,459 agency. 3005 01:47:02,950 --> 01:47:04,397 Basically parcels in the blue 3006 01:47:04,397 --> 01:47:05,640 are required to have flood 3007 01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:06,650 insurance through the national 3008 01:47:06,650 --> 01:47:07,167 flood insurance program. 3009 01:47:07,167 --> 01:47:09,903 Mostly within our city, we don't 3010 01:47:09,903 --> 01:47:12,339 have a lot of parcels, we have 3011 01:47:12,339 --> 01:47:13,674 less than 1,000 actual insurance 3012 01:47:13,674 --> 01:47:15,576 holders in the city. 3013 01:47:15,576 --> 01:47:19,176 The blue you see are mostly 3014 01:47:19,613 --> 01:47:22,150 outside of the city boundaries. 3015 01:47:22,150 --> 01:47:24,170 Next is the 200 year floodplain 3016 01:47:24,170 --> 01:47:25,752 map, this is a floodplain map 3017 01:47:25,752 --> 01:47:27,187 that actually we're in the 3018 01:47:27,187 --> 01:47:29,187 process of updating. 3019 01:47:29,390 --> 01:47:30,791 Something we're required by sb5 3020 01:47:30,791 --> 01:47:32,793 that was passed for the urban 3021 01:47:32,793 --> 01:47:33,961 level of flood protection. 3022 01:47:33,961 --> 01:47:35,896 This map considers levee 3023 01:47:35,896 --> 01:47:38,296 failures along the sacramento 3024 01:47:38,932 --> 01:47:41,402 river, east levee as well as 3025 01:47:41,402 --> 01:47:42,670 cosumnes river on the south 3026 01:47:42,670 --> 01:47:44,670 side. 3027 01:47:44,939 --> 01:47:48,539 As part of this, updating this 3028 01:47:49,443 --> 01:47:50,211 map we're using 2d modelling and 3029 01:47:50,211 --> 01:47:52,611 updated topography to have 3030 01:47:53,548 --> 01:47:55,948 accurate and detailed map. 3031 01:47:56,817 --> 01:47:58,520 Also, I want to, you know, talk 3032 01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,621 about the 200 year flood is 3033 01:48:00,621 --> 01:48:02,857 actually a flood event that has 3034 01:48:02,857 --> 01:48:04,892 half a percent chance of 3035 01:48:04,892 --> 01:48:06,293 happening every year. 3036 01:48:06,293 --> 01:48:08,863 On this flap map it looks scary 3037 01:48:08,863 --> 01:48:11,833 on the west side of town, we 3038 01:48:11,833 --> 01:48:14,134 have three watersheds that are 3039 01:48:14,134 --> 01:48:14,469 shown to be unindated by 3040 01:48:14,469 --> 01:48:16,469 floodwaters. 3041 01:48:16,938 --> 01:48:18,740 I want to highlight regional 3042 01:48:18,740 --> 01:48:21,643 projects that are happening to 3043 01:48:21,643 --> 01:48:21,843 leave alleviate or reduce the 3044 01:48:21,843 --> 01:48:23,611 risk. 3045 01:48:23,611 --> 01:48:25,880 We have the sacramento weir 3046 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:26,715 widening progress that they're 3047 01:48:26,715 --> 01:48:28,216 working on. 3048 01:48:28,216 --> 01:48:29,451 their goal is to reduce 3049 01:48:29,451 --> 01:48:31,820 sacramento river water service 3050 01:48:31,820 --> 01:48:33,221 elevations by a foot for a 200 3051 01:48:33,221 --> 01:48:35,221 year event. 3052 01:48:35,524 --> 01:48:37,292 This is expected to be completed 3053 01:48:37,292 --> 01:48:39,292 in 2027. 3054 01:48:39,995 --> 01:48:40,895 We have the folsom dam spillway 3055 01:48:40,895 --> 01:48:43,895 completed in 2017 and that was 3056 01:48:45,333 --> 01:48:45,634 to achieve a 200 year level of 3057 01:48:45,634 --> 01:48:47,634 protection. 3058 01:48:47,636 --> 01:48:49,805 We have the folsom dam project 3059 01:48:49,805 --> 01:48:51,139 happening right now to raise the 3060 01:48:51,139 --> 01:48:52,908 dam dikes by 3 1/2 feet and 3061 01:48:52,908 --> 01:48:55,610 expect to be completed in 2028. 3062 01:48:55,610 --> 01:48:58,800 And also I want to highlight 3063 01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:01,800 that folsom dam is operating 3064 01:49:02,284 --> 01:49:04,684 under the forecast reservoir 3065 01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:07,623 operations, the goal is to look 3066 01:49:07,623 --> 01:49:08,857 at the forecast for atmospheric 3067 01:49:08,857 --> 01:49:11,626 rivers and storm events and 3068 01:49:11,626 --> 01:49:14,630 release water ahead of time to 3069 01:49:14,630 --> 01:49:15,664 relieve capacity for 3070 01:49:15,664 --> 01:49:17,664 floodwaters. 3071 01:49:20,802 --> 01:49:21,904 Another flood risk that we have 3072 01:49:21,904 --> 01:49:23,439 is from the dam map, we have two 3073 01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:24,840 dams in our region that impact 3074 01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:27,209 the city of elk grove. 3075 01:49:27,209 --> 01:49:29,879 First is the sly park dam from 3076 01:49:29,879 --> 01:49:31,514 jempblg inson lake on the east 3077 01:49:31,514 --> 01:49:33,514 side of town. 3078 01:49:34,383 --> 01:49:36,719 That would be a catastrophe. 3079 01:49:36,719 --> 01:49:38,388 And this one luckily for elk 3080 01:49:38,388 --> 01:49:39,922 grove is going to be contained 3081 01:49:39,922 --> 01:49:41,922 within 1900 year floodplain. 3082 01:49:42,959 --> 01:49:45,395 On the northwest side of town, 3083 01:49:45,395 --> 01:49:47,764 we have the folsom dam and the 3084 01:49:47,764 --> 01:49:49,764 folsom reservoir. 3085 01:49:49,899 --> 01:49:51,835 GOD forbid something happen to 3086 01:49:51,835 --> 01:49:53,335 the folsom dam that will be a 3087 01:49:53,335 --> 01:49:54,804 regional emergency and it will 3088 01:49:54,804 --> 01:49:56,639 impact us as well. 3089 01:49:56,639 --> 01:49:58,608 There are a lot of projects in 3090 01:49:58,608 --> 01:49:59,575 place and things that are 3091 01:49:59,575 --> 01:50:00,677 happening that are really 3092 01:50:00,677 --> 01:50:02,677 reducing this risk. 3093 01:50:03,146 --> 01:50:06,146 This is unlikely to happen. 3094 01:50:06,650 --> 01:50:07,951 It is a risk but unlikely to 3095 01:50:07,951 --> 01:50:08,552 happen. 3096 01:50:08,552 --> 01:50:09,986 Happen. 3097 01:50:09,986 --> 01:50:12,220 >> now that we have reviewed the 3098 01:50:12,220 --> 01:50:14,691 risk, part of the preparedness 3099 01:50:14,691 --> 01:50:17,427 is then making -- having 3100 01:50:17,427 --> 01:50:19,396 analysis about the risk and 3101 01:50:19,396 --> 01:50:21,632 analysis was done in 2023, the 3102 01:50:21,632 --> 01:50:23,933 graphic you see there. 3103 01:50:23,933 --> 01:50:26,236 Based on the 200 year floodplain 3104 01:50:26,236 --> 01:50:28,636 map and highlights evacuation 3105 01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:29,939 routes for contra flow lane 3106 01:50:29,939 --> 01:50:31,939 recommendations, and essentially 3107 01:50:32,743 --> 01:50:34,811 this is used as a tool that we 3108 01:50:34,811 --> 01:50:36,313 would use contra flow as 3109 01:50:36,313 --> 01:50:37,881 essentially a last case resort. 3110 01:50:37,881 --> 01:50:38,781 We would have the thing with 3111 01:50:38,781 --> 01:50:41,181 flooding, you have time. 3112 01:50:41,417 --> 01:50:41,718 You have time for messaging, 3113 01:50:41,718 --> 01:50:42,586 evacuation. 3114 01:50:42,586 --> 01:50:44,254 But it starts those 3115 01:50:44,254 --> 01:50:45,322 conversations, and this is why 3116 01:50:45,322 --> 01:50:46,957 exercising is so e important. 3117 01:50:46,957 --> 01:50:48,125 We can get all stakeholders to 3118 01:50:48,125 --> 01:50:49,793 the table, have the discussions 3119 01:50:49,793 --> 01:50:52,329 of what is needed, preplanning 3120 01:50:52,329 --> 01:50:53,964 as we can whether that looks 3121 01:50:53,964 --> 01:50:55,399 like signal timing, having those 3122 01:50:55,399 --> 01:50:58,350 plans programmed and in place 3123 01:50:58,350 --> 01:50:58,336 and ready to go with minor 3124 01:50:58,336 --> 01:50:59,670 adjustments. 3125 01:50:59,670 --> 01:50:59,870 Those conversations can take 3126 01:50:59,870 --> 01:51:01,806 place. 3127 01:51:01,806 --> 01:51:03,908 We also need to be aware of 3128 01:51:03,908 --> 01:51:05,643 resources and the locations 3129 01:51:05,643 --> 01:51:07,245 throughout the region. 3130 01:51:07,245 --> 01:51:08,980 We have the flood-flight catches 3131 01:51:08,980 --> 01:51:10,814 south of the city. 3132 01:51:10,814 --> 01:51:12,830 And we also have our flood 3133 01:51:12,830 --> 01:51:13,818 operations decision support 3134 01:51:13,818 --> 01:51:14,285 system through sacramento 3135 01:51:14,285 --> 01:51:15,420 county. 3136 01:51:15,420 --> 01:51:18,550 Allows us to know how many 3137 01:51:18,550 --> 01:51:19,230 resources are available in 3138 01:51:19,230 --> 01:51:20,425 realtime. 3139 01:51:20,425 --> 01:51:21,726 Flood monitoring, so in the 3140 01:51:21,726 --> 01:51:24,620 event that we know that weather 3141 01:51:24,620 --> 01:51:25,763 event is coming and atmospheric 3142 01:51:25,763 --> 01:51:26,531 river we will collaborate with 3143 01:51:26,531 --> 01:51:29,531 city experts such as public 3144

and 3160 01:52:03,735 --> 01:52:05,604 laguna creek, elk grove creek, 3161 01:52:05,604 --> 01:52:08,407 franklin creek and shed c. 3162 01:52:08,407 --> 01:52:10,750 We have the sacflood.Org, the 3163 01:52:10,750 --> 01:52:11,610 county has multiple monitoring 3164 01:52:11,610 --> 01:52:13,345 stations throughout the county 3165 01:52:13,345 --> 01:52:17,216 and region the we look at the 3166 01:52:17,216 --> 01:52:18,517 national weather service, noaa, 3167 01:52:18,517 --> 01:52:20,553 national oceanic and atmospheric 3168 01:52:20,553 --> 01:52:21,387 administration as well as 3169 01:52:21,387 --> 01:52:22,688 california-nevada river 3170 01:52:22,688 --> 01:52:24,723 forecasting center to see what 3171 01:52:24,723 --> 01:52:26,258 the water level is going to be. 3172 01:52:26,258 --> 01:52:28,494 They look at the amount of 3173 01:52:28,494 --> 01:52:30,463 water, the rains that will be 3174 01:52:30,463 --> 01:52:32,598 coming in, then look at where 3175 01:52:32,598 --> 01:52:34,533 that water is going to be, which 3176 01:52:34,533 --> 01:52:37,403 rivers are impacted and what the 3177 01:52:37,403 --> 01:52:40,730 river water surface elevation is 3178 01:52:40,730 --> 01:52:41,307 going to be at what stage in a 3179 01:52:41,307 --> 01:52:42,875 24 hour period or something like 3180 01:52:42,875 --> 01:52:44,510 that in the future. 3181 01:52:44,510 --> 01:52:46,612 We use that information, 3182 01:52:46,612 --> 01:52:48,800 communicate that to our 3183 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:49,516 emergency operations center. 3184 01:52:49,516 --> 01:52:50,683 >> then we identify local areas 3185 01:52:50,683 --> 01:52:52,840 of risk and vulnerability. 3186 01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:53,353 What the weather event is going 3187 01:52:53,353 --> 01:52:54,853 to bring to the city and what it 3188 01:52:54,853 --> 01:52:56,823 brings to the region. 3189 01:52:56,823 --> 01:52:59,580 We will identify vulnerabilities 3190 01:52:59,580 --> 01:53:00,593 and specific weather, specific 3191 01:53:00,593 --> 01:53:03,396 needs related to the weather if 3192 01:53:03,396 --> 01:53:04,640 we need to activate sandbag 3193 01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:06,132 locations, what resources to 3194 01:53:06,132 --> 01:53:07,167 stage in advance of the event, 3195 01:53:07,167 --> 01:53:08,201 those types of conversations 3196 01:53:08,201 --> 01:53:08,967 will happen throughout the 3197 01:53:08,967 --> 01:53:10,736 weather event. 3198 01:53:10,736 --> 01:53:12,720 >> and our operations 3199 01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:13,573 maintenance team that will 3200 01:53:13,573 --> 01:53:15,308 activate this storm patrol and 3201 01:53:15,308 --> 01:53:18,308 monitoring of the levees, creeks 3202 01:53:19,450 --> 01:53:20,800 and chance, we'll also shut down 3203 01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:21,715 construction, inspectors assist 3204 01:53:21,715 --> 01:53:22,616 basically turn it into a storm 3205 01:53:22,616 --> 01:53:24,518 patrol personnel. 3206 01:53:24,518 --> 01:53:25,152 It will be kind of all hands on 3207 01:53:25,152 --> 01:53:26,620 deck. 3208 01:53:26,620 --> 01:53:28,620 Additional resources through 3209 01:53:30,256 --> 01:53:33,160 contractors brought in as well. 3210 01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:34,995 >> and so when we get into the 3211 01:53:34,995 --> 01:53:36,829 actual flood response. 3212 01:53:36,829 --> 01:53:39,829 Again, we'll activate the public 3213 01:53:41,601 --> 01:53:43,804 works hotline 916-687-3005, it 3214 01:53:43,804 --> 01:53:45,720 look 24 hour hotline, and we 3215 01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:47,274 will be responding to service 3216 01:53:47,274 --> 01:53:48,575 requests as they come in. 3217 01:53:48,575 --> 01:53:49,877 And most of the service calls 3218 01:53:49,877 --> 01:53:52,145 that we typically get during 3219 01:53:52,145 --> 01:53:53,647 these storm events are related 3220 01:53:53,647 --> 01:53:54,648 to wind, with downed tree limbs 3221 01:53:54,648 --> 01:53:56,150 and things like. 3222 01:53:56,150 --> 01:53:58,285 That operation maintenance team 3223 01:53:58,285 --> 01:53:59,220 do a great job of actually 3224 01:53:59,220 --> 01:54:00,454 making sure everything is clear 3225 01:54:00,454 --> 01:54:03,390 ahead of time ready for the 3226 01:54:03,390 --> 01:54:05,193 storm as well as if we need to 3227 01:54:05,193 --> 01:54:07,193 have additional contractors 3228 01:54:07,394 --> 01:54:08,563 added to our crew then that can 3229 01:54:08,563 --> 01:54:10,398 be done as well. 3230 01:54:10,398 --> 01:54:11,432 >> if appropriate we activate 3231 01:54:11,432 --> 01:54:13,367 the emergency operation center 3232 01:54:13,367 --> 01:54:15,369 if it's a long standing event or 3233 01:54:15,369 --> 01:54:16,304 something that we feel can't be 3234 01:54:16,304 --> 01:54:16,603 handled through coordination 3235 01:54:16,603 --> 01:54:18,138 calls. 3236 01:54:18,138 --> 01:54:19,574 That would be a step we would 3237 01:54:19,574 --> 01:54:21,876 take and receive situational 3238 01:54:21,876 --> 01:54:24,110 update reports, continue to 3239 01:54:24,110 --> 01:54:26,814 monitor and ensure what we have 3240 01:54:26,814 --> 01:54:28,249 successful deployment of 3241 01:54:28,249 --> 01:54:30,217 resources. 3242 01:54:30,217 --> 01:54:32,320 Flood recovery once we're 3243 01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:34,689 through the event, it starts 3244 01:54:34,689 --> 01:54:36,824 when the weather event starts, 3245 01:54:36,824 --> 01:54:38,626 preparing for the documentation 3246 01:54:38,626 --> 01:54:38,960 needed for potential 3247 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:40,960 reimbursement. 3248 01:54:41,129 --> 01:54:43,297 as evacuation orders are lifted 3249 01:54:43,297 --> 01:54:43,998 we will continuously provide 3250 01:54:43,998 --> 01:54:45,333 communication through that 3251 01:54:45,333 --> 01:54:47,168 emergency alert system. 3252 01:54:47,168 --> 01:54:48,303 Through sac alert. 3253 01:54:48,303 --> 01:54:50,572 It is important that people 3254 01:54:50,572 --> 01:54:51,505 register for that, that is the 3255 01:54:51,505 --> 01:54:51,806 accurate place to find 3256 01:54:51,806 --> 01:54:52,774 information. 3257 01:54:52,774 --> 01:54:54,543 Not recommended to find it 3258 01:54:54,543 --> 01:54:56,678 through social media unless it 3259 01:54:56,678 --> 01:54:57,450 is a verified social media 3260 01:54:57,450 --> 01:54:59,450 platform. 3261 01:54:59,381 --> 01:55:01,830 So that's very important for the 3262 01:55:01,830 --> 01:55:03,830 sac alert. 3263 01:55:03,919 --> 01:55:05,620 Continuing messaging on the 3264 01:55:05,620 --> 01:55:07,620 recovery, any wraparound 3265 01:55:09,570 --> 01:55:11,293 resources as we repopulate and 3266 01:55:11,293 --> 01:55:12,527 deactivate when appropriate. 3267 01:55:12,527 --> 01:55:14,763 Flood recovery will continue 3268 01:55:14,763 --> 01:55:16,497 long after deactivation. 3269 01:55:16,497 --> 01:55:18,534 Then these are the resources 3270 01:55:18,534 --> 01:55:20,402 that were mentioned throughout. 3271 01:55:20,402 --> 01:55:22,171 We are actively building out the 3272 01:55:22,171 --> 01:55:22,804 city of elk grove emergency

02:13:06,186 they are probably not elk grove 3730 02:13:06,186 --> 02:13:08,586 residents taking the survey. 3731 02:13:09,923 --> 02:13:10,257 We surveyed people on five 3732 02:13:10,257 -->

02:14:30,205 --> 02:14:30,806 expressing location preferences. 3767 02:14:30,806 --> 02:14:33,806 Mainly that was either don't 3768 02:14:34,109 --> 02:14:35,430 build shelter at all or don't 3769 02:14:35,430 --> 02:14:37,443 locate it near homes. 3770 02:14:37,946 --> 02:14:40,148 A lot of folks commented on 3771 02:14:40,148 --> 02:14:42,170 program design and rules. 3772 02:14:42,170 -->

02:18:23,873 This is preliminary draft. 3868 02:18:26,545 --> 02:18:26,779 What we hope to do is rang each 3869 02:18:26,779 --> 02:18:28,779 factors. 3870 02:18:30,983 --> 02:18:33,286 On the right red, yellow green. 3871 02:18:33,286 --> 02:18:33,786 Green would be for sensitive 3872 02:18:33,786 --> 02:18:35,521 uses. 3873 02:18:35,521 --> 02:18:38,357 Green would be the site is 3874 02:18:38,357 --> 02:18:40,757 further from homes, schools, 3875 02:18:41,427 --> 02:18:43,620 daycares, parks, etc. 3876 02:18:43,620 --> 02:18:45,131 Yellow would be similar in the 3877 02:18:45,131 --> 02:18:48,131 middle looking at the sites. 3878 02:18:48,301 --> 02:18:49,101 Red in close proximity to those 3879 02:18:49,101 --> 02:18:51,101 uses. 3880 02:18:53,573 --> 02:18:55,575 Using that classification we 3881 02:18:55,575 --> 02:18:58,575 would rank all factors and 3882 02:18:59,212 --> 02:19:01,612 summarize into overall score. 3883 02:19:01,614 --> 02:19:03,716 Sensitive uses, cost and 3884 02:19:03,716 --> 02:19:06,685 feasibility would get a score. 3885 02:19:06,685 --> 02:19:09,756 Use that to evaluate the site. 3886 02:19:09,756 --> 02:19:13,125 What you see here on the left is 3887 02:19:13,125 --> 02:19:13,360 the relative importance of those 3888 02:19:13,360 --> 02:19:15,360 factors. 3889 02:19:15,961 --> 02:19:19,561 You can see sensitive uses is 3890 02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:22,800 larger circle, larger text that 3891 02:19:23,402 --> 02:19:23,704 represents the 46% of points 3892 02:19:23,704 --> 02:19:25,704 allocation. 3893 02:19:25,839 --> 02:19:28,839 On the other end transportation 3894 02:19:29,443 --> 02:19:32,146 is much smaller representing the 3895 02:19:32,146 --> 02:19:35,416 folks who took the survey felt 3896 02:19:35,416 --> 02:19:38,520 it was less of a priority. 3897 02:19:38,520 --> 02:19:40,520 I want 3898 02:19:44,291 --> 02:19:44,558 want to to get council 3899 02:19:44,558 --> 02:19:46,558 feedback. 3900 02:19:47,600 --> 02:19:48,796 If you feel those are in the 3901 02:19:48,796 --> 02:19:50,363 right range what we will do with 3902 02:19:50,363 --> 02:19:52,763 that information is continue 3903 02:19:54,335 --> 02:19:55,602 working with nja on test fits 3904 02:19:55,602 --> 02:19:57,602 forsyth 3905 02:20:01,409 --> 02:20:03,430 for the site and use that to get 3906 02:20:03,430 --> 02:20:03,911 down to four sites to release 3907 02:20:03,911 --> 02:20:05,911 to public. 3908 02:20:06,847 --> 02:20:09,917 We plan to share the informtion 3909 02:20:09,917 --> 02:20:12,186 on each of the sites and scoring 3910 02:20:12,186 --> 02:20:14,388 or evaluation factors with the 3911 02:20:14,388 --> 02:20:17,558 public to help them see how the 3912 02:20:17,558 --> 02:20:19,526 sites compare. 3913 02:20:19,526 --> 02:20:22,526 That's what I have got. 3914 02:20:23,531 --> 02:20:24,599 Happy to answer questions. 3915 02:20:24,599 --> 02:20:26,599 >> excellent presentation. 3916 02:20:26,767 --> 02:20:29,571 I will open up public comment. 3917 02:20:29,571 --> 02:20:31,372 I do not have anyone signed up. 3918 02:20:31,372 --> 02:20:32,974 Close public comment. 3919 02:20:32,974 --> 02:20:33,808 Questions to the left council 3920 02:20:33,808 --> 02:20:35,808 member suen. 3921 02:20:37,120 --> 02:20:37,345 >> thank you, sarah for the 3922 02:20:37,345 --> 02:20:39,345 presentation. 3923 02:20:40,282 --> 02:20:40,515 I think our community got it 3924 02:20:40,515 --> 02:20:42,515 right. 3925 02:20:44,452 --> 02:20:47,422 I think I feel similarly as far 3926 02:20:47,422 --> 02:20:47,601 as these categories you laid 3927 02:20:47,601 --> 02:20:49,601 out. 3928 02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:51,259 You are emphasizing as you 3929 02:20:51,259 --> 02:20:53,259 listed here. 3930 02:20:56,431 --> 02:20:57,532 Is there a certain percentage 3931 02:20:57,532 --> 02:20:57,799 that a weighted percentage 3932 02:20:57,799 --> 02:20:59,799 assigned? 3933 02:21:03,705 --> 02:21:07,800 It is bigger in the areas. 3934 02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:08,377 >> we are not assigning new 3935 02:21:08,377 --> 02:21:10,345 miracle score to sites. 3936 02:21:10,345 --> 02:21:11,480 Comparing sites to one another 3937 02:21:11,480 --> 02:21:13,880 relative to each other. 3938 02:21:16,252 --> 02:21:18,454 A site further from homes or 3939 02:21:18,454 --> 02:21:20,854 residential or other sensitive 3940 02:21:21,623 --> 02:21:24,623 uses would get green one. 3941 02:21:24,693 --> 02:21:27,693 Right abutting would get red. 3942 02:21:29,298 --> 02:21:31,734 Looking at it on that basis 3943 02:21:31,734 --> 02:21:34,134 rather than strict like 3944 02:21:35,838 --> 02:21:39,438 assigning a score which can lead 3945 02:21:39,909 --> 02:21:42,612 to some challenges in that one 3946 02:21:42,612 --> 02:21:44,847 site might be a thousand feet 3947 02:21:44,847 --> 02:21:46,847 from residential. 3948 02:21:47,160 --> 02:21:49,840 another one might be 975. 3949 02:21:49,840 --> 02:21:52,840 Those are about the same. 3950 02:21:53,589 --> 02:21:56,192 We want to make sure we are not 3951 02:21:56,192 --> 02:21:59,620 creating a scoring system that 3952 02:21:59,620 --> 02:22:01,620 is too restrictive. 3953 02:22:01,230 --> 02:22:03,630 >> in terms of cost. 3954 02:22:04,166 --> 02:22:06,803 How do you evaluate that when 3955 02:22:06,803 --> 02:22:07,303 you don't have design and 3956 02:22:07,303 --> 02:22:09,303 concept. 3957 02:22:09,906 --> 02:22:12,906 Each site is unique, right? 3958 02:22:14,477 --> 02:22:17,477 You won't have that information. 3959 02:22:17,480 --> 02:22:18,782 >> nja has civil engineering 3960 02:22:18,782 --> 02:22:20,617 firm on board with experience 3961 02:22:20,617 --> 02:22:22,586 estimating costs for other 3962 02:22:22,586 --> 02:22:24,986 shelters they have designed. 3963 02:22:25,822 --> 02:22:27,858 The civil engineering firm they 3964 02:22:27,858 --> 02:22:30,258 are partnering with has 3965 02:22:30,260 --> 02:22:31,962 experience estimating costs 3966 02:22:31,962 --> 02:22:34,362 associated with the site 3967 02:22:35,132 --> 02:22:36,700 themselves and cost to bring the 3968 02:22:36,700 --> 02:22:38,902 utilities to the site. 3969 02:22:38,902 --> 02:22:41,738 We expect a rough cost estimate 3970 02:22:41,738 --> 02:22:43,574 for each of the 10 sites we are 3971 02:22:43,574 --> 02:22:44,474 having them look at more 3972 02:22:44,474 --> 02:22:46,474 closely. 3973 02:22:48,145 --> 02:22:49,445 >> you will be doing conceptual 3974 02:22:49,445 --> 02:22:51,845 design on each one? 3975 02:22:52,449 --> 02:22:55,252 >> what we hope to release in 3976 02:22:55,252 --> 02:22:57,588 JANUARY for each site is the 3977 02:22:57,588 --> 02:23:00,588 evaluation metric with the red, 3978 02:23:01,250 --> 02:23:01,759 yellow green and overall 3979 02:23:01,759 --> 02:23:03,160 summation there. 3980 02:23:03,160 --> 02:23:05,128 Conceptual design how it would 3981 02:23:05,128 --> 02:23:07,528 fit on the site. 3982 02:23:07,898 --> 02:23:11,498 So that folks could see how 3983 02:23:11,768 --> 02:23:12,136 close it would be to the street. 3984 02:23:12,136 --> 02:23:14,136 Not firm design. 3985 02:23:17,374 --> 02:23:19,443 That takes more time and money. 3986 02:23:19,443 --> 02:23:21,646 Concept to see how that would 3987 02:23:21,646 --> 02:23:23,614 fit on the site and integrate 3988 02:23:23,614 --> 02:23:25,614 with surrounding area. 3989 02:23:25,716 --> 02:23:28,190 >> for intake are you going to 3990 02:23:28,190 --> 02:23:31,923 go through -- when are you going 3991 02:23:31,923 --> 02:23:33,923 through that criteria? 3992 02:23:35,660 --> 02:23:35,894 When people are coming into the 3993 02:23:35,894 --> 02:23:37,495 shelter. 3994 02:23:37,495 --> 02:23:39,464 >> for this shelter we 3995 02:23:39,464 --> 02:23:41,965 anticipate using same process we 3996 02:23:41,965 --> 02:23:43,468 use now. 3997

02:23:50,375 --> 02:23:52,209 with one of the homeless 4001 02:23:52,209 --> 02:23:54,609 navigators who verifies their 4002 02:23:54,679 --> 02:23:57,790 connection to elk grove. 4003 02:23:57,716 --> 02:24:01,586 We also run the check to make 4004 02:24:01,586 --> 02:24:04,523 sure they are not a sex offender 4005 02:24:04,523 --> 02:24:04,790 or have other disqualifying 4006 02:24:04,790 --> 02:24:06,790 factors. 4007 02:24:07,625 --> 02:24:08,794 >> good reminders. 4008 02:24:08,794 --> 02:24:09,661 Thank you. 4009 02:24:09,661 --> 02:24:11,661 >> vice mayor. 4010 02:24:13,365 -->

Our current shelter does not 4074 02:26:50,925 --> 02:26:52,393 accommodate families. 4075 02:26:52,393 --> 02:26:54,793 That will be new. 4076 02:26:55,997 --> 02:26:58,633 A couple other things folks 4077 02:26:58,633 --> 02:27:01,633 really like plan to incorporate 4078 02:27:03,538 --> 02:27:05,730 space for pets into the 4079 02:27:05,730 --> 02:27:07,730 individual bedding areas. 4080 02:27:09,310 --> 02:27:10,780 Currently folks leave pet in 4081 02:27:10,780 --> 02:27:12,478 crate in their area. 4082 02:27:13,814 --> 02:27:16,685 We would like to incorporate to 4083 02:27:16,685 --> 02:27:19,220 design so pets can stay near 4084 02:27:19,220 --> 02:27:22,220 owners like in current shelter. 4085 02:27:22,790 --> 02:27:23,158 Some shelters have kennel to 4086 02:27:23,158 --> 02:27:24,960 leave your pet. 4087 02:27:24,960 --> 02:27:27,960 The other thing urcommunity is 4088 02:27:28,263 --> 02:27:28,497 excited about is the commercial 4089 02:27:28,497 --> 02:27:30,497 kitchen. 4090 02:27:33,334 --> 02:27:36,438 One of the things we had when we 4091 02:27:36,438 --> 02:27:38,573 had nonprofit managing overnight 4092 02:27:38,573 --> 02:27:39,774 shelter was ability for 4093 02:27:39,774 --> 02:27:41,777 organizations to cook food and 4094 02:27:41,777 --> 02:27:44,112 share that with the guests. 4095 02:27:44,112 --> 02:27:46,281 In our current shelter we don't 4096 02:27:46,281 --> 02:27:48,281 have cooking facilities. 4097 02:27:49,751 --> 02:27:52,921 A lot of folks are excited about 4098 02:27:52,921 --> 02:27:54,857 a commercial kitchen. 4099 02:27:54,857 --> 02:27:58,893 They are a faith based that can 4100 02:27:58,893 --> 02:28:00,629 come in and prepare a meal and 4101 02:28:00,629 --> 02:28:02,980 possibly incorporate the guests 4102 02:28:02,980 --> 02:28:04,980 in that process. 4103 02:28:05,133 --> 02:28:09,333 >> that is good to hear as we 4104 02:28:10,139 --> 02:28:12,800 put together a concept. 4105 02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:13,643 It is definitely important the 4106 02:28:13,643 --> 02:28:15,511 public feels it is something 4107 02:28:15,511 --> 02:28:17,547 they can be engaged with and 4108 02:28:17,547 --> 02:28:19,849 show it is positive. 4109 02:28:19,849 --> 02:28:22,518 It is based on healing and 4110 02:28:22,518 --> 02:28:24,918 getting back on track. 4111 02:28:27,890 --> 02:28:27,757 It shows that in every angle, 4112 02:28:27,757 --> 02:28:29,757 every wall. 4113 02:28:30,960 --> 02:28:33,495 That is on the facility because 4114 02:28:33,495 --> 02:28:35,865 I think some people have a 4115 02:28:35,865 --> 02:28:36,900 visual that it is going to be 4116 02:28:36,900 --> 02:28:38,900 walls. 4117 02:28:39,169 --> 02:28:41,169 Limited windows, cold. 4118 02:28:43,390 --> 02:28:44,174 We want it to be a warm inviting 4119 02:28:44,174 --> 02:28:46,443 as possible just to give the 4120 02:28:46,443 --> 02:28:49,443 individual and the families that 4121 02:28:49,512 --> 02:28:53,712 are going to be there to give 4122 02:28:54,885 --> 02:28:56,520 them inspiring to bring us hope. 4123 02:28:56,520 --> 02:28:57,420 Thank you. 4124 02:28:57,420 --> 02:28:59,420 >> council member spease. 4125 02:28:59,489 --> 02:29:01,889 >> thank you, MADAM Mayor. 4126 02:29:02,559 --> 02:29:06,759 I think the only tweak that I 4127 02:29:07,564 --> 02:29:12,350 see on it is that could you go 4128 02:29:12,350 --> 02:29:14,304 back to stoplight chart, please. 4129 02:29:14,304 --> 02:29:16,704 The challenge or question, 4130 02:29:20,344 --> 02:29:23,344 something to suggest, I suppose. 4131 02:29:24,315 --> 02:29:25,582 One small tweak relative to -- 4132 02:29:25,582 --> 02:29:28,582 as function of moving things 4133 02:29:29,190 --> 02:29:31,419 away from sensitive uses. 4134 02:29:33,958 --> 02:29:35,159 Moves the location likely to 4135 02:29:35,159 --> 02:29:35,392 less dense locations. 4136 02:29:35,392 --> 02:29:37,392 Right? 4137 02:29:41,132 --> 02:29:43,532 That is the likelihood. 4138 02:29:43,801 --> 02:29:44,201 My concern and it is safety and 4139 02:29:44,201 --> 02:29:46,201 security. 4140 02:29:48,500 --> 02:29:48,239 Should that come up one more 4141 02:29:48,239 --> 02:29:50,239 level. 4142 02:29:50,508 --> 02:29:52,677 That is all I am thinking about 4143 02:29:52,677 --> 02:29:56,277 relative to it because again if 4144 02:29:57,148 --> 02:29:57,849 it is not in a dense area that 4145 02:29:57,849 --> 02:29:59,849 is fine. 4146 02:30:01,151 --> 02:30:03,551 I am concerned about 4147 02:30:05,723 --> 02:30:08,123 accessibility and proximity to 4148 02:30:08,892 --> 02:30:10,361 safety services, be it fire or 4149 02:30:10,361 --> 02:30:12,361 be it police. 4150 02:30:15,330 --> 02:30:19,233 I want to be sure somebody can 4151 02:30:20,839 --> 02:30:24,439 get as assistance there in a 4152 02:30:24,909 --> 02:30:26,909 quick time frame. 4153 02:30:27,178 --> 02:30:29,580 >> purr suggesting on the sample 4154 02:30:29,580 --> 02:30:31,349 taking safety and security and 4155 02:30:31,349 --> 02:30:33,840 moving up? 4156 02:30:33,840 --> 02:30:35,287 >> put on equal footing with 4157 02:30:35,287 --> 02:30:36,154 cost feasibility and proximity 4158 02:30:36,154 --> 02:30:38,154 to services. 4159 02:30:41,626 --> 02:30:44,263 I would put it on equal footing. 4160 02:30:44,263 --> 02:30:44,529 Safety and security it is a 4161 02:30:44,529 --> 02:30:44,796 concern. 4162 02:30:44,796 --> 02:30:46,796 Should be. 4163 02:30:47,698 --> 02:30:49,735 That is all I am saying. 4164 02:30:49,735 --> 02:30:50,869 Put it on equal footing. 4165 02:30:50,869 --> 02:30:53,269 >> I could support that. 4166 02:30:54,720 --> 02:30:56,408 It is consistent with some of 4167 02:30:56,408 --> 02:30:58,808 the community feedback already. 4168 02:31:00,479 --> 02:31:00,813 I am surprised transportation 4169 02:31:00,813 --> 02:31:02,715 was so low. 4170 02:31:02,715 --> 02:31:05,715 >> I was surprised by it. 4171 02:31:05,851 --> 02:31:08,153 >> that is because the lens. 4172 02:31:08,153 --> 02:31:10,556 If you are unhoused you want 4173 02:31:10,556 --> 02:31:10,890 access to transportation and 4174 02:31:10,890 --> 02:31:12,890 services. 4175 02:31:14,660 --> 02:31:15,661 Did we get any residents at the 4176 02:31:15,661 --> 02:31:17,661 shelter participate? 4177 02:31:20,433 --> 02:31:22,501 >> it was anonymous survey I 4178 02:31:22,501 --> 02:31:23,603 can't say for sure whether we 4179 02:31:23,603 --> 02:31:25,571 did or not. 4180 02:31:25,571 --> 02:31:27,971 >> having access to services 4181 02:31:28,908 --> 02:31:30,142 would be higher. 4182 02:31:30,142 --> 02:31:31,444 I can't imagine any location 4183 02:31:31,444 --> 02:31:33,846 that doesn't address all of 4184 02:31:33,846 --> 02:31:35,846 these needs anyway. 4185 02:31:37,490 --> 02:31:37,950 I imagine you are looking with a 4186 02:31:37,950 --> 02:31:40,950 holistic lens and looking to 4187 02:31:42,221 --> 02:31:44,221 address these components. 4188 02:31:44,291 --> 02:31:47,260 >> yes, all of the locations we 4189 02:31:47,260 --> 02:31:50,530 are looking at design with an 4190 02:31:50,530 --> 02:31:52,930 aye to visibility aspect. 4191 02:31:53,400 --> 02:31:55,400 We asked questions. 4192 02:31:56,335 --> 02:31:57,837 There are certain elements that 4193 02:31:57,837 --> 02:31:59,372 will be union I versal. 4194 02:31:59,372 --> 02:32:00,907 One we are working with the 4195 02:32:00,907 --> 02:32:03,907 police department to make sure 4196 02:32:06,378 --> 02:32:06,847 the design incorporates 4197 02:32:06,847 --> 02:32:08,847 environmental design. 4198 02:32:11,217 --> 02:32:13,253 we will work with the fire 4199 02:32:13,253 --> 02:32:15,253 department representatives to 4200 02:32:15,589 --> 02:32:17,891 make sure they have vehicle 4201 02:32:17,891 --> 02:32:20,960 access they need on the site. 4202 02:32:20,960 --> 02:32:23,960 There is definitely a threshold 4203 02:32:24,464 --> 02:32:25,631 standard that would apply to all 4204 02:32:25,631 --> 02:32:27,631 sites. 4205 02:32:29,169 --> 02:32:32,169 >> I think where the residents 4206 02:32:32,473 --> 02:32:33,107 coming to safety and security 4207 02:32:33,107 --> 02:32:35,107 and sensitive uses. 4208 02:32:36,743 --> 02:32:39,346 I can't help but wonder if we 4209 02:32:39,346 --> 02:32:39,679 have them as separate 4210 02:32:39,679 --> 02:32:41,679 categories. 4211 02:32:42,950 --> 02:32:47,150 A lot of residents I heard from 4212 02:32:47,555 --> 02:32:48,889 I am afraid of having shelters 4213 02:32:48,889 --> 02:32:50,889 near my house. 4214 02:32:51,992 --> 02:32:55,196 It is a big long sentence. 4215 02:32:55,196 --> 02:32:58,132 I think this sensitive uses does 4216 02:32:58,132 --> 02:33:00,234 address a lot of the safety and 4217 02:33:00,234 --> 02:33:03,234 security issue because it is 4218 02:33:03,771 --> 02:33:04,938 usually part of one sentence 4219 02:33:04,938 --> 02:33:08,342 that I have heard from my 4220 02:33:08,342 --> 02:33:10,545 perspective and I think yours, 4221 02:33:10,545 --> 02:33:12,545 too. 4222 02:33:13,800 --> 02:33:13,414 I feel like you know what I 4223 02:33:13,414 --> 02:33:15,414 mean? 4224 02:33:15,449 --> 02:33:17,849 >> we want sensitive uses. 4225 02:33:20,121 --> 02:33:21,723 >> you don't want them near 4226 02:33:21,723 --> 02:33:23,723 stores and daycare. 4227 02:33:25,260 --> 02:33:28,260 Part of the same sentence. 4228 02:33:28,663 --> 02:33:30,498 The only reason I push to it is 4229 02:33:30,498 --> 02:33:33,234 isrel drive mostly to accept the 4230 02:33:33,234 --> 02:33:33,468 ability in the event something 4231 02:33:33,468 --> 02:33:35,468 happens. 4232 02:33:36,700 --> 02:33:39,700 I am okay with it. 4233
