Grimsley council member Kelly

PRESIDENT Councilmember Baca

59
00:02:23,984 --> 00:02:26,384
Griffin, PRESIDENT, but it's

60
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:31,655
in their mouth as thank Okay.

61
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,496
Item number 7 is moment Maybe

62
00:02:35,496 --> 00:02:38,496
15 is police officer Day and

63
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,637
so are. A silencer for those

64
00:02:42,637 --> 00:02:43,371
officers lost their and we

65
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:47,571
want to honor him with what we

66
00:02:57,685 --> 00:02:59,685
say

67
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,823
Okay. We have no

68
00:03:01,823 --> 00:03:02,791
presentations or commission

69
00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:05,191
City manager, any agenda

70
00:03:06,194 --> 00:03:08,594
additions or deletions. Thank

71
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:12,330
you, Mayor. I would like to

72
00:03:13,669 --> 00:03:14,436
stuff like to pull 13 Dash

73
00:03:14,436 --> 00:03:16,836
4.13 deaths Flock 5 related to

74
00:03:18,273 --> 00:03:20,976
flag place. We need some

75
00:03:20,976 --> 00:03:21,677
additional direction City

76
00:03:21,677 --> 00:03:24,770
Council after the publishing

77
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,415
of the agenda. We had a

78
00:03:26,415 --> 00:03:27,116
question from a council member

79
00:03:27,116 --> 00:03:30,116
of a procedural question the

80
00:03:31,354 --> 00:03:32,755
item from a council member and

81
00:03:32,755 --> 00:03:34,891
Steph, assume there was some

82
00:03:34,891 --> 00:03:35,625
pre authorization based on

83
00:03:35,625 --> 00:03:39,225
past approvals. And so we put

84
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:41,831
it on the agenda. And this

85
00:03:41,831 --> 00:03:44,231
does require the flagpoles

86
00:03:44,666 --> 00:03:46,503
requires this 2 step process

87
00:03:46,503 --> 00:03:47,737
where it's requested that

88
00:03:47,737 --> 00:03:48,438
future agenda items and then

89
00:03:48,438 --> 00:03:52,638
it goes on the agenda at the

90
00:03:53,409 --> 00:03:55,278
next meeting. And so we'd like

91
00:03:55,278 --> 00:03:58,248
to pull this item. At the end

92
00:03:58,248 --> 00:03:59,916
of the future agenda the

93
00:03:59,916 --> 00:04:01,585
section for future agenda

94
00:04:01,585 --> 00:04:02,552
items. If a council member

95
00:04:02,552 --> 00:04:04,488
asked to put that on the

96
00:04:04,488 --> 00:04:06,888
agenda and the council

97
00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:08,358
concurs. We'll bring those 2

98
00:04:08,358 --> 00:04:10,727
items back to the next council

99
00:04:10,727 --> 00:04:12,729
meeting for final approval.

100
00:04:12,729 --> 00:04:16,232
Staff would like to pool those

101
00:04:16,232 --> 00:04:18,632
2 items for those reasons.

102
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,420
13.4 13.5 people. So next item

103
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:26,377
is public This time is

104
00:04:26,377 --> 00:04:27,780
reserved for members of the

105
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:29,460
public to address issues not

106
00:04:29,460 --> 00:04:30,915
included on the agenda in

107
00:04:30,915 --> 00:04:31,516
accordance with Brown council

108
00:04:31,516 --> 00:04:33,916
referred it, Steph. Any

109
00:04:34,185 --> 00:04:34,852
matters property for them at

110
00:04:34,852 --> 00:04:35,486
the time in those matters,

111
00:04:35,486 --> 00:04:38,486
baby placed in the future

112
00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:40,491
agenda of Tonight we have for

113
00:04:40,491 --> 00:04:41,359
public speakers. The first

114
00:04:41,359 --> 00:04:43,759
speaker tonight will McCoy.

115
00:04:50,769 --> 00:04:51,803
Police. My name is Hunter

116
00:04:51,803 --> 00:04:52,504
McCoy. I was born and raised

117
00:04:52,504 --> 00:04:55,674
in the Bay Area and currently

118
00:04:55,674 --> 00:04:57,676
reside in Hercules. I often

119
00:04:57,676 --> 00:04:59,710
play Franklin Canyon Golf

120
00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:01,613
course as it is a amazing

121
00:05:01,613 --> 00:05:02,781
recreational asset to our

122
00:05:02,781 --> 00:05:03,482
community. That brings people

123
00:05:03,482 --> 00:05:06,318
of all types together for the

124
00:05:06,318 --> 00:05:06,951
better and he's unfortunately

125
00:05:06,951 --> 00:05:09,254
planned to be completely

126
00:05:09,254 --> 00:05:11,356
destroyed to benefit tourists

127
00:05:11,356 --> 00:05:14,293
with no real benefit for our

128
00:05:14,293 --> 00:05:14,927
community. The original

129
00:05:14,927 --> 00:05:16,929
proposal was to keep the

130
00:05:16,929 --> 00:05:19,310
nine-hole back course open to

131
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:20,566
the public and having that

132
00:05:20,566 --> 00:05:22,602
change with no community vote.

133
00:05:22,602 --> 00:05:25,638
I feel as an era that must be

134
00:05:25,638 --> 00:05:26,472
corrected. No permits should

135
00:05:26,472 --> 00:05:27,206
be approved to develop on this

136
00:05:27,206 --> 00:05:29,274
side toll revised plan similar

137
00:05:29,274 --> 00:05:32,274
to the original he's submitted

138
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,680
and voted on by the community

139
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680
measure and was designed to

140
00:05:36,716 --> 00:05:37,717
keep the space open for

141
00:05:37,717 --> 00:05:38,317
community use and not hoard

142
00:05:38,317 --> 00:05:40,453
the location with large

143
00:05:40,453 --> 00:05:42,453
commercial vehicles by

144
00:05:42,489 --> 00:05:45,125
tourists. It does not appear

145
00:05:45,125 --> 00:05:45,826
much thought has gone into any

146
00:05:45,826 --> 00:05:48,261
of this and he's robbing the

147
00:05:48,261 --> 00:05:48,929
entire Hercules and East Bay

148
00:05:48,929 --> 00:05:49,596
community changing a golf

149
00:05:49,596 --> 00:05:52,596
course into a trailer park

150
00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:55,200
should have gone on the ballot

151
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:55,702
as I don't believe, many local

152
00:05:55,702 --> 00:05:58,702
residents would elect for an

153
00:05:58,705 --> 00:06:00,741
rv trailer park in their

154
00:06:00,741 --> 00:06:02,442
backyard. I have major

155
00:06:02,442 --> 00:06:05,346
concerns about all of its

156
00:06:05,346 --> 00:06:07,346
logistical environmental and

157
00:06:07,748 --> 00:06:09,784
holistic aspects approving the

158
00:06:09,784 --> 00:06:10,851
complete destruction of such a

159
00:06:10,851 --> 00:06:11,786
massive property that serves

160
00:06:11,786 --> 00:06:14,786
the public should have been

161
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:15,756
voted on by the people. The

162
00:06:15,756 --> 00:06:17,691
fact that it is being

163
00:06:17,691 --> 00:06:19,126
destroyed to accommodate large

164
00:06:19,126 --> 00:06:19,860
commercial vehicles from non

165
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:22,860
community members is frankly a

166
00:06:23,697 --> 00:06:24,631
joke. I have talked to many

167
00:06:24,631 --> 00:06:25,300
people in the community who

168
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:27,668
have all stated they had no

169
00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:29,637
idea this was taking place and

170
00:06:29,637 --> 00:06:31,539
had no idea this was being

171
00:06:31,539 --> 00:06:32,473
considered many of which

172
00:06:32,473 --> 00:06:33,708
Hercules community members who

173
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:35,844
own businesses in the city

174
00:06:35,844 --> 00:06:39,444
work for the city. We're part

175
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:41,850
of the Rotary Club. I find it

176
00:06:41,850 --> 00:06:42,551
comical that any minor

177
00:06:42,551 --> 00:06:43,185
development in the community

178
00:06:43,185 --> 00:06:45,585
gets public attention yet

179
00:06:45,921 --> 00:06:47,189
something as massive as this

180
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:47,923
went undetected for years by

181
00:06:47,923 --> 00:06:50,923
even the most invested members

182
00:06:51,927 --> 00:06:53,395
of the community. Holly Smith

183
00:06:53,395 --> 00:06:54,290
was the administrative

184
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:55,497
director who approved the

185
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:56,966
original planning is now since

186
00:06:56,966 --> 00:06:59,768
retired. I believe this was

187
00:06:59,768 --> 00:07:01,270
approved administratively on

188
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:02,938
paper and should have not been

189
00:07:02,938 --> 00:07:03,672
and should have been voted on

190
00:07:03,672 --> 00:07:05,608
by the people of Hercules in

191
00:07:05,608 --> 00:07:06,776
the community that it's

192
00:07:06,776 --> 00:07:09,745
impacting. Not only is this a

193
00:07:09,745 --> 00:07:11,847
fire hazard with 180 proposed

194
00:07:11,847 --> 00:07:13,649
campfire and outdoor cooking

195
00:07:13,649 --> 00:07:14,484
sites. It puts the local

196
00:07:14,484 --> 00:07:16,850
community that travels on

197
00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:18,485
Highway 4 in Hercules in

198
00:07:19,656 --> 00:07:20,590
danger from these large

199
00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:21,691
commercial vehicles. This

200
00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:22,759
location has blind spots as

201
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:23,460
you approach the golf course

202
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:25,528
and the only way to get into

203
00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:27,597
Franklin Canyon from the east

204
00:07:27,597 --> 00:07:29,766
is to get off and Hercules and

205
00:07:29,766 --> 00:07:30,867
turn around. How are huge rv

206
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:33,300
trailers and buses going to

207
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:34,304
maneuver the Hercules

208
00:07:34,304 --> 00:07:36,600
residential streets. What is

209
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:36,740
it going to do? The daily

210
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:39,140
Traficant in downtown Hercules

211
00:07:39,409 --> 00:07:40,430
because of this? All of this

212
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:42,430
has massive implications

213
00:07:43,146 --> 00:07:43,881
outside of water conservation.

214
00:07:43,881 --> 00:07:44,581
It should have been voted on

215
00:07:44,581 --> 00:07:48,181
again by the people and it's

216
00:07:48,419 --> 00:07:49,386
impacting. This does not mean

217
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:51,855
any rational criteria that was

218
00:07:51,855 --> 00:07:52,856
originally designed for

219
00:07:52,856 --> 00:07:56,456
measure the space was not was

220
00:07:59,981 --> 00:08:00,243
not being maintained by a this

221
00:08:00,243 --> 00:08:01,232
space is not being maintained

222
00:08:01,232 --> 00:08:01,866
as account. The more time.

223
00:08:01,866 --> 00:08:04,866
Sir, thank you very much.

224
00:08:06,304 --> 00:08:09,304
Thank you. Next speaker is

225
00:08:16,581 --> 00:08:18,650
Robert haul. Good evening.

226
00:08:18,650 --> 00:08:19,550
City of Hercules officials and

227
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:22,550
all residents of Hercules and

228
00:08:23,188 --> 00:08:23,855
Rodeo who are listening. You

229
00:08:23,855 --> 00:08:27,225
are about to lose your fire

230
00:08:27,225 --> 00:08:27,859
department. The Rodale

231
00:08:27,859 --> 00:08:29,859
Hercules Fire Protection

232
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:34,299
District. It will be lost

233
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:34,967
through annexation into con

234
00:08:34,967 --> 00:08:37,967
fire managed by the county

235
00:08:38,937 --> 00:08:40,973
Board of Supervisors. The

236
00:08:40,973 --> 00:08:43,175
annexation process will not be

237
00:08:43,175 --> 00:08:43,942
overnight. They're required

238
00:08:43,942 --> 00:08:44,643
meetings to hold papers to

239
00:08:44,643 --> 00:08:48,243
file. It will take months to

240
00:08:52,717 --> 00:08:54,353
complete. Annexation train is

241
00:08:54,353 --> 00:08:56,388
ready depart the station as

242
00:08:56,388 --> 00:08:57,230
early as tomorrow night's

243
00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:59,423
special meeting and fire

244
00:08:59,758 --> 00:09:02,158
stations. 76. The agenda item

245
00:09:03,896 --> 00:09:05,998
reads as follows. Potential

246
00:09:05,998 --> 00:09:07,667
annexation of Rodeo Hercules

247
00:09:07,667 --> 00:09:08,334
Fire Protection District with

248
00:09:08,334 --> 00:09:10,370
or into Contra Costa County

249
00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:12,370
Fire Protection District

250
00:09:13,606 --> 00:09:14,240
analysis and findings,

251
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,240
presentation and possible

252
00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:19,779
action item. In the 3 minutes.

253
00:09:19,779 --> 00:09:20,646
A public comment. I can only

254
00:09:20,646 --> 00:09:21,548
give you the tip of the

255
00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:22,649
iceberg for the situation and

256
00:09:22,649 --> 00:09:25,490
describing. But here goes

257
00:09:27,154 --> 00:09:28,989
point number one. Annexation

258
00:09:28,989 --> 00:09:29,823
is the most consequential

259
00:09:29,823 --> 00:09:30,457
issue the district will ever

260
00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:33,457
face as noted by Director

261
00:09:34,328 --> 00:09:34,962
Steve Hill. Who was formerly

262
00:09:34,962 --> 00:09:36,897
Con Fire's principal

263
00:09:36,897 --> 00:09:38,897
information officer. Point

264
00:09:41,569 --> 00:09:43,604
number 2. Annexation is a

265
00:09:43,604 --> 00:09:44,371
one-way road. If our district

266
00:09:44,371 --> 00:09:46,607
has annexed, we'll never get

267
00:09:46,607 --> 00:09:49,607
our local control back. Point

268
00:09:50,177 --> 00:09:52,379
number 3. In the most recent

269
00:09:52,379 --> 00:09:54,481
audited financial report, the

270
00:09:54,481 --> 00:09:56,820
district closed its fiscal

271
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:58,482
year with 7.2 million dollars

272
00:09:59,954 --> 00:10:02,724
in reserves. For says annual

273
00:10:02,724 --> 00:10:03,725
operating expenses of 8.9

274
00:10:03,725 --> 00:10:05,794
million dollars. That is a

275
00:10:05,794 --> 00:10:06,761
very healthy financial

276
00:10:06,761 --> 00:10:09,970
picture. It's better than con

277
00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:10,532
fire's picture on a percentage

278
00:10:10,532 --> 00:10:14,732
basis. We are in no danger of

279
00:10:15,604 --> 00:10:16,271
sudden bankruptcy. Point

280
00:10:16,271 --> 00:10:16,972
number for tomorrow night's

281
00:10:16,972 --> 00:10:19,972
possible action is a surprise

282
00:10:20,308 --> 00:10:21,743
to most people. None of the

283
00:10:21,743 --> 00:10:22,411
board of directors ran on a

284
00:10:22,411 --> 00:10:25,800
campaign of to solving her

285
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:25,747
district. And handing billions

286
00:10:25,747 --> 00:10:29,840
of dollars over to come on

287
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,840
fire. These 4 facts point to

288
00:10:32,554 --> 00:10:33,923
what is needed. Opportunity

289
00:10:33,923 --> 00:10:34,823
needs to be given for the

290
00:10:34,823 --> 00:10:36,250
people of the district to vote

291
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:36,592
up or down on annexation in

292
00:10:36,592 --> 00:10:38,592
the NOVEMBER. General

293
00:10:40,128 --> 00:10:40,863
election. With our previous

294
00:10:40,863 --> 00:10:41,497
speaker. People out of voting.

295
00:10:41,497 --> 00:10:44,497
You want to be supporting

296
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:46,350
democracy. The board can put

297
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:47,360
this on the ballot. But

298
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,360
without encouragement from

299
00:10:50,907 --> 00:10:51,574
people, it will not do so. Us.

300
00:10:51,574 --> 00:10:53,900
The city council won't have

301
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:55,178
time to discuss this before

302
00:10:55,178 --> 00:10:56,212
tomorrow. Fire district

303
00:10:56,212 --> 00:10:59,820
meeting, but you can act in

304
00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:00,316
your capacity as individuals.

305
00:11:00,316 --> 00:11:00,850
All of you hearing this

306
00:11:00,850 --> 00:11:03,250
message can act as

307
00:11:03,853 --> 00:11:05,555
individuals. Please write to

308
00:11:05,555 --> 00:11:06,623
the Rodeo Hercules Fire

309
00:11:06,623 --> 00:11:08,124
District. Let them know they

310
00:11:08,124 --> 00:11:08,992
should put annexation on the

311
00:11:08,992 --> 00:11:11,992
ballot. Whether you support it

312
00:11:12,610 --> 00:11:12,629
or oppose it. The people out

313
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:15,198
vote on it is such an

314
00:11:15,198 --> 00:11:15,865
important issue. People have

315
00:11:15,865 --> 00:11:17,801
voted for taxation. Let the

316
00:11:17,801 --> 00:11:20,201
people decide in NOVEMBER.

317
00:11:21,171 --> 00:11:21,738
Thank Thank you very much.

318
00:11:21,738 --> 00:11:23,738
Next speakers Charley

319
00:11:29,713 --> 00:11:31,713
Davidson. Greetings, Council

320
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,288
and staff community members.

321
00:11:37,288 --> 00:11:38,556
They're being on a

322
00:11:38,556 --> 00:11:39,256
questionable accusations about

323
00:11:39,256 --> 00:11:42,256
the solvency of the Rodeo

324
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:46,640
Hercules Fire District. But I

325
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,565
would like to address adequate

326
00:11:47,565 --> 00:11:49,965
rodeo Hercules fair districts,

327
00:11:50,201 --> 00:11:51,401
revenues and services where

328
00:11:51,401 --> 00:11:52,360
the district has a well

329
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,436
balanced budget this year

330
00:11:57,775 --> 00:11:59,511
measurably in the black. And

331
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,344
there are coming other

332
00:12:00,344 --> 00:12:01,790
increases in the redevelopment

333
00:12:01,790 --> 00:12:03,479
agency passed through revenues

334
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:06,785
that will be coming back to

335
00:12:06,785 --> 00:12:08,530
the increasing amounts to the

336
00:12:08,530 --> 00:12:10,255
Rodeo Hercules Fire district

337
00:12:10,255 --> 00:12:11,623
to further increase our

338
00:12:11,623 --> 00:12:13,623
revenues. Have 7.2 million

339
00:12:14,326 --> 00:12:16,295
dollars in reserves which

340
00:12:16,295 --> 00:12:17,996
speaks of improved health of

341
00:12:17,996 --> 00:12:18,664
the district. Thanks to

342
00:12:18,664 --> 00:12:20,664
measure Rose 2.6 million

343
00:12:23,102 --> 00:12:25,371
dollar yearly contribution. In

344
00:12:25,371 --> 00:12:26,138
fact, currently has 1 million

345
00:12:26,138 --> 00:12:29,138
and spender from this year's

346
00:12:31,343 --> 00:12:33,379
balance. A We've done multiple

347
00:12:33,379 --> 00:12:35,779
outside contractors using 3rd

348
00:12:35,981 --> 00:12:38,381
party expertise for fire

349
00:12:38,918 --> 00:12:40,190
prevention. We debate mean and

350
00:12:40,190 --> 00:12:41,788
these are costs neutral

351
00:12:41,788 --> 00:12:44,230
because of monies that can be

352
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:44,858
returned through that services

353
00:12:44,858 --> 00:12:45,592
and it will keep a insurance

354
00:12:45,592 --> 00:12:48,592
down for homeowners within the

355
00:12:49,996 --> 00:12:52,165
city. We've a purchase a new

356
00:12:52,165 --> 00:12:55,165
alert system in upgrading our

357
00:12:56,536 --> 00:12:58,536
communication system Verde

358
00:12:58,572 --> 00:12:59,272
Hercules in collaboration with

359
00:12:59,272 --> 00:13:00,273
Con Fire has recently trained

360
00:13:00,273 --> 00:13:02,673
for high-rise and radio

361
00:13:02,876 --> 00:13:04,210
protocol and no cost to

362
00:13:04,210 --> 00:13:06,610
Hercules recently kind. Fire

363
00:13:07,681 --> 00:13:08,549
is also trained with us and

364
00:13:08,549 --> 00:13:09,216
wildfire, containment and

365
00:13:09,216 --> 00:13:11,216
Phillips. 66 property open

366
00:13:13,487 --> 00:13:16,323

367
00:13:16,323 --> 00:13:17,258
the engineer level

368
00:13:17,258 --> 00:13:17,892

370
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360
training. The district looks

371
00:13:23,731 --> 00:13:25,600
forward to the a second panel

372
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,501
fire station. 74 in Pinole

373
00:13:27,501 --> 00:13:29,237
Valley Road opening because it

374
00:13:29,237 --> 00:13:29,904
would markedly bring down the

375
00:13:29,904 --> 00:13:31,904
disproportionate number of

376
00:13:32,406 --> 00:13:34,420
times in hours per year. That

377
00:13:34,420 --> 00:13:37,420
are hfd has responded to

378
00:13:40,582 --> 00:13:42,982
cover. We're assists panel.

379
00:13:43,651 --> 00:13:44,719
Rda pass through funding

380
00:13:44,719 --> 00:13:45,920
increases access to multiple

381
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,588
grants and services using

382
00:13:46,588 --> 00:13:47,255
subjects for third-party

383
00:13:47,255 --> 00:13:49,655
contractors. Plus measure o

384
00:13:50,792 --> 00:13:53,562
funds will keep Rh fd solvent

385
00:13:53,562 --> 00:13:55,230
in the future. So these

386
00:13:55,230 --> 00:13:57,630
discussions about are not

387
00:13:59,334 --> 00:14:02,334

388
00:14:02,337 --> 00:14:05,337
Our next speaker is. Should

389
00:14:11,881 --> 00:14:13,881
believe? Good evening,

390
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:17,219
everybody. My name is

391
00:14:17,219 --> 00:14:17,853
currently. Have lived in

392
00:14:17,853 --> 00:14:20,253
cookies for more than 30

393
00:14:22,525 --> 00:14:23,226
years. And recently and really

394
00:14:23,226 --> 00:14:25,628
was something that I put out

395
00:14:25,628 --> 00:14:27,929
bring to flow. So that it can

396
00:14:27,929 --> 00:14:31,529
be resolved once and for all.

397
00:14:33,803 --> 00:14:34,504
Has to do with fencing. This

398
00:14:34,504 --> 00:14:37,504
book and his friends friends

399
00:14:38,207 --> 00:14:41,807
stand And he says the height

400
00:14:49,386 --> 00:14:51,622
of fence wall combined 6 feet.

401
00:14:51,622 --> 00:14:53,991
i had to say might never has a

402
00:14:53,991 --> 00:14:54,858
9 foot wall. I mean for wall

403
00:14:54,858 --> 00:14:57,258
between totally blocking my

404
00:14:58,762 --> 00:14:59,496
view to the bit. I put my

405
00:14:59,496 --> 00:15:03,960
house because of the view that

406
00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:06,470
a half of that. Of Bay area.

407
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:08,906
Best view in the area this

408
00:15:08,906 --> 00:15:12,506
phase has blocked it and are

409
00:15:15,146 --> 00:15:15,813
just my My. My purpose of So I

410
00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:17,815
have been Hawkins with the

411
00:15:17,815 --> 00:15:20,815
city officials. About how this

412
00:15:21,510 --> 00:15:24,422
fixed? But given me all kinds

413
00:15:24,422 --> 00:15:27,422
business. One of them make

414
00:15:28,126 --> 00:15:29,761
sense. I want to say it hit.

415
00:15:29,761 --> 00:15:30,428
Somebody says behind Sulphur

416
00:15:30,428 --> 00:15:32,828
freshman measure from some

417
00:15:33,765 --> 00:15:36,765
high, it's doesn't even exist.

418
00:15:37,802 --> 00:15:39,710
I'm still present. But I wish

419
00:15:39,710 --> 00:15:39,738
I can distribute my flat.

420
00:15:39,738 --> 00:15:40,372
Everybody's so you can see

421
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:43,372
what I've been going this

422
00:15:43,742 --> 00:15:46,578
city. This is wrong. I should

423
00:15:46,578 --> 00:15:49,578
be treated with respect up

424
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,518
nicely. You know so everybody

425
00:15:52,518 --> 00:15:56,118
we should not be selective. We

426
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:57,560
should be fair citizen. Do not

427
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:57,856
to different because I have

428
00:15:57,856 --> 00:16:00,256
accent because I'm female.

429
00:16:01,693 --> 00:16:03,662
That's how I feel. Okay. You

430
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,753
MAY think I'm but that's how I

431
00:16:07,753 --> 00:16:08,160
feel about was who are here.

432
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,201
Come up, metal 6 feet. Who

433
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:10,360
doesn't know what, 6 South

434
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,436
when this country. That

435
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:15,808
telling me that my France on

436
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:18,808
wall unable is 6 is in

437
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:20,412
compliance with No, it's not.

438
00:16:20,412 --> 00:16:24,120
And want to do something about

439
00:16:25,785 --> 00:16:27,353
it. This is killing me because

440
00:16:27,353 --> 00:16:27,988
from the citizen have been

441
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:30,230
pretty much times relief

442
00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:31,925
pointedly been in trouble. Why

443
00:16:31,925 --> 00:16:35,662
can the city do the right Why

444
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:37,564
do being picky chosen with But

445
00:16:37,564 --> 00:16:39,766
what this local mother? That's

446
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:43,269
what I'm here for. And I hope

447
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:47,469
I get a result be back. Thank

448
00:16:58,619 --> 00:16:58,884
you. Thank you very much.

449
00:16:58,884 --> 00:16:59,453
One

450
00:16:59,453 --> 00:17:00,154
more speaker card. Tonya

451
00:17:00,154 --> 00:17:03,754
little come up to the podium.

452
00:17:07,562 --> 00:17:09,962
Please. Thank for this

453
00:17:10,198 --> 00:17:10,832
opportunity speak. I'm Tanya

454
00:17:10,832 --> 00:17:13,832
Little. I'm a resident of

455
00:17:14,569 --> 00:17:15,736
Hercules for over 31 years.

456
00:17:15,736 --> 00:17:16,838
And I'm I'm offering a

457
00:17:16,838 --> 00:17:17,505
different opinion with regard

458
00:17:17,505 --> 00:17:20,842
to the rodeo her to expire

459
00:17:20,842 --> 00:17:23,842
distric. And 2020. I was well

460
00:17:25,347 --> 00:17:25,981
involved with if you where

461
00:17:25,981 --> 00:17:26,681
there was not a study or

462
00:17:26,681 --> 00:17:29,810
strategic plan that actually

463
00:17:29,551 --> 00:17:32,551
dealt with. Whether we should

464
00:17:33,522 --> 00:17:34,489
consider annexation or not.

465
00:17:34,489 --> 00:17:36,325
Since then, there has been a

466
00:17:36,325 --> 00:17:38,725
strategic plan. There were 3

467
00:17:40,929 --> 00:17:43,329
options contract for service.

468
00:17:45,968 --> 00:17:46,602
Higher out for h r. And

469
00:17:46,602 --> 00:17:47,303
joining with another fire

470
00:17:47,303 --> 00:17:50,303
district, which would not the

471
00:17:55,444 --> 00:17:56,812
annexation. One of the was

472
00:17:56,812 --> 00:17:57,780
joining with l Street. A fire

473
00:17:57,780 --> 00:17:58,481
fires too far away to really

474
00:17:58,481 --> 00:18:01,481
compensate or do anything for

475
00:18:02,118 --> 00:18:02,785
our area. No one else applied

476
00:18:02,785 --> 00:18:06,990
to the rfp to any do any of

477
00:18:06,990 --> 00:18:09,920
that. The option for

478
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:09,759
contractor service is limited

479
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,159
because there's not enough

480
00:18:13,864 --> 00:18:14,531
staffing with the skills and

481
00:18:14,531 --> 00:18:17,531
ability to actually run the

482
00:18:21,671 --> 00:18:23,707
fire district. With regards

483
00:18:23,707 --> 00:18:24,474
staffing the finances that was

484
00:18:24,474 --> 00:18:27,611
talked about. As we all know,

485
00:18:27,611 --> 00:18:28,545
there's aging community. We

486
00:18:28,545 --> 00:18:31,448
all know that the retirement

487
00:18:31,448 --> 00:18:34,151
age from one of those people

488
00:18:34,151 --> 00:18:34,818
is living a lot longer. So as

489
00:18:34,818 --> 00:18:37,655
the people are retiring and

490
00:18:37,655 --> 00:18:39,757
the fire district that money

491
00:18:39,757 --> 00:18:42,626
has to support that. So, yes,

492
00:18:42,626 --> 00:18:44,628
we have the money now. Will it

493
00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,131
be sustained? I don't think

494
00:18:47,131 --> 00:18:51,102
so. We have to ask for a tax

495
00:18:51,102 --> 00:18:53,437
of some point. Yes, we will.

496
00:18:53,437 --> 00:18:54,372
We have access to additional

497
00:18:54,372 --> 00:18:57,208
monies outside of Yes, we

498
00:18:57,208 --> 00:18:59,176
will. If we were to annex. So

499
00:18:59,176 --> 00:18:59,877
at this point in time based on

500
00:18:59,877 --> 00:19:02,881
the plan because I was one i

501
00:19:02,881 --> 00:19:03,481
want more information and not

502
00:19:03,481 --> 00:19:07,520
I am in support of this

503
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:07,719
community moving forward with

504
00:19:07,719 --> 00:19:10,719
an annexation will have the

505
00:19:17,362 --> 00:19:18,896
magnitude of scale. Thank you.

506
00:19:18,896 --> 00:19:19,531
That will and public comment.

507
00:19:19,531 --> 00:19:21,933

second-largest oil refining

547
00:20:46,187 --> 00:20:48,622

Empowerment Zone is intended

553
00:20:56,631 --> 00:20:57,399
to create an operational

554
00:20:57,399 --> 00:20:58,990
infrastructure to support the

555
00:20:58,990 --> 00:20:59,401
work force in the transition

556
00:20:59,401 --> 00:21:03,100
into the next era of the

557
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:05,440
energy economy. The goal of

558
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,608
the Gz is to establish a

559
00:21:06,608 --> 00:21:07,542
framework to ensure the

560
00:21:07,542 --> 00:21:09,578
transition to clean energy

561
00:21:09,578 --> 00:21:10,979
does not leave behind workers

562
00:21:10,979 --> 00:21:11,647
and ensure that our area

563
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:15,184
remains a hub of the energy

564
00:21:15,184 --> 00:21:17,987
sector for years to come. The

565
00:21:17,987 --> 00:21:18,921
g Zee was established by

566
00:21:18,921 --> 00:21:21,321
Assembly Bill 8.44, which the

567
00:21:22,858 --> 00:21:23,859
governor signed in 2021. It

568
00:21:23,859 --> 00:21:25,861
builds upon the comparative

569
00:21:25,861 --> 00:21:26,495
advantage provided by the

570
00:21:26,495 --> 00:21:27,996
regional concentration of

571
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:30,232
highly skilled energy industry

572
00:21:30,232 --> 00:21:32,632
workers by prioritizing access

573
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,104
to tax incentives, grants loan

574
00:21:35,104 --> 00:21:36,272
programs, workforce training

575
00:21:36,272 --> 00:21:36,939
programs and private sector

576
00:21:36,939 --> 00:21:39,339

staff report that would be

634
00:23:28,921 --> 00:23:29,622
helpful Council. I'm Allison

635
00:23:29,622 --> 00:23:30,356
Greeley, Economic Development

636
00:23:30,356 --> 00:23:30,990
manager with the Department of

637
00:23:30,990 --> 00:23:32,990
Conservation Development

638
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,960
Contra Costa County I think

639
00:23:39,264 --> 00:23:40,533
the staff report really

640
00:23:40,533 --> 00:23:44,133
describes the to join the g

641
00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:46,670
Eazy governing board the

642
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:49,142
counties in the process of

643
00:23:49,142 --> 00:23:50,100
staff within the county are in

644
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,145
the process of filling out the

645
00:23:53,145 --> 00:23:53,780
governing board. And so I'm

646
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:54,447
very happy to answer any

647
00:23:54,447 --> 00:23:57,447
questions that you MAY have

648
00:23:59,860 --> 00:23:59,786
today. All right. Thank you.

649
00:23:59,786 --> 00:24:02,990
Normally and I would wait to

650
00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:06,590
last, but this was brought up

651
00:24:07,361 --> 00:24:08,362
to me by a city manager. In

652
00:24:08,362 --> 00:24:10,564
MARCH, little confused because

653
00:24:10,564 --> 00:24:12,733
when I started reading the

654
00:24:12,733 --> 00:24:15,636
report it started DECEMBER. So

655
00:24:15,636 --> 00:24:17,638
I was a little. Confused about

656
00:24:17,638 --> 00:24:20,638
the whole process. I did

657
00:24:20,975 --> 00:24:23,100
attend the APRIL meeting. It

658
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,410
has expanded. It was

659
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:27,649
originally most of the cities

660
00:24:27,649 --> 00:24:28,349
in Northern Waterfront

661
00:24:28,349 --> 00:24:30,151
alliance. But that's expanded

662
00:24:30,151 --> 00:24:33,751
to punish a the layoff. And

663
00:24:38,327 --> 00:24:39,226
all. Same Pavel Richmond.

664
00:24:39,226 --> 00:24:41,960
That's expanded even more. I

665
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,296
Brent was part of this so. I

666
00:24:46,267 --> 00:24:47,369
don't know Oakley, but I have

667
00:24:47,369 --> 00:24:49,104
agree that I think the council

668
00:24:49,104 --> 00:24:52,104
should be active in this

669
00:24:52,841 --> 00:24:53,508
agreed empowerment zone. Not

670
00:24:53,508 --> 00:24:55,908
specifically because it was

671
00:24:56,178 --> 00:24:58,178
first 4. Highly skilled

672
00:25:00,115 --> 00:25:00,816
refinery workers. But it's a

673
00:25:00,816 --> 00:25:01,484
potential of what's going to

674
00:25:01,484 --> 00:25:02,418
happen in the future, which

675
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:05,418
could be wind turbines that

676
00:25:06,722 --> 00:25:07,422
are being built here locally.

677
00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:09,859
When you have a winter vines,

678
00:25:09,859 --> 00:25:11,694
you also have other offshoot

679
00:25:11,694 --> 00:25:14,197
jobs that come along with that

680
00:25:14,197 --> 00:25:14,964
and those offshoot jobs could

681
00:25:14,964 --> 00:25:17,767
benefit the city hurt police

682
00:25:17,767 --> 00:25:20,469
sometime in the future. I I do

683
00:25:20,469 --> 00:25:23,339
think that we should public

684
00:25:23,339 --> 00:25:24,740
support tonight. So go ahead

685
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:26,474
with COUNCILMAN Council member

686
00:25:29,479 --> 00:25:30,247
Kelly. So I understand that

687
00:25:30,247 --> 00:25:32,315
there is no financial

688
00:25:32,315 --> 00:25:33,650
commitment on the part of our

689
00:25:33,650 --> 00:25:34,750
city to joining this board. Is

690
00:25:34,750 --> 00:25:36,386
that correct? Correct. Okay.

691
00:25:36,386 --> 00:25:37,200
And you're looking for

692
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:37,888
representative. Are you

693
00:25:37,888 --> 00:25:39,589
looking for someone from our

694
00:25:39,589 --> 00:25:41,191
city council to join or

695
00:25:41,191 --> 00:25:42,593
someone from our staff? The

696
00:25:42,593 --> 00:25:44,895
city Council correct. Just the

697
00:25:44,895 --> 00:25:47,295
city Council. Yes, that's

698
00:25:50,901 --> 00:25:51,668
correct. Okay. And the other

699
00:25:51,668 --> 00:25:53,537
question is see of at 9.30,

700
00:25:53,537 --> 00:25:55,606
how long those meetings

701
00:25:55,606 --> 00:25:56,306
generally last. Thank you.

702
00:25:56,306 --> 00:25:57,507
Minutes 90 minutes because of

703
00:25:57,507 --> 00:25:59,907
the 9.30, to 11. Okay. All

704
00:26:01,245 --> 00:26:03,645
right. Thank you. Questions

705
00:26:04,315 --> 00:26:05,716
this council member Vincent. I

706
00:26:05,716 --> 00:26:08,486
can you just describe a little

707
00:26:08,486 --> 00:26:09,553
bit more about the purpose of

708
00:26:09,553 --> 00:26:10,154
ge see what its goals are and

709
00:26:10,154 --> 00:26:13,754
what is the role of the

710
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:17,159
governing board. The purpose

711
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:19,797
of the ge z essentially to

712
00:26:19,797 --> 00:26:22,197
prioritize Contra Costa County

713
00:26:23,602 --> 00:26:25,670
in terms of access to various

714
00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:29,270
forms of tax incentives at the

715
00:26:29,541 --> 00:26:31,977
state level that can help too

716
00:26:31,977 --> 00:26:34,120
help the county's energy

717
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,715
transition. The role of the

718
00:26:36,715 --> 00:26:39,115
governing board is to

719
00:26:42,488 --> 00:26:45,488
essentially over see the zone.

720
00:26:49,128 --> 00:26:50,129
It was it was a k a. So again

721
00:26:50,129 --> 00:26:50,796
that what going to the What I

722
00:26:50,796 --> 00:26:53,796
noticed was that was either

723
00:26:53,966 --> 00:26:56,135
the mayor of the city or I

724
00:26:56,135 --> 00:26:59,135
think conquered had vice mayor

725
00:26:59,338 --> 00:27:01,340
what I also. This is being

726
00:27:01,340 --> 00:27:02,341
driven by the county. So

727
00:27:02,341 --> 00:27:04,410
county staff is one that's

728
00:27:04,410 --> 00:27:06,810
putting all the documents

729
00:27:11,150 --> 00:27:11,885
together. I think it's a like

730
00:27:11,885 --> 00:27:15,922
I said earlier. I think it's a

731
00:27:15,922 --> 00:27:16,623
good idea. But just this is

732
00:27:16,623 --> 00:27:19,230
one meeting. Documents offer

733
00:27:20,327 --> 00:27:23,363
last meeting. So it's a it's

734
00:27:23,363 --> 00:27:25,332
got stuff and maps and stuff.

735
00:27:25,332 --> 00:27:26,330
Again, I think when I got out

736
00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:29,633
of it, the first meeting that

737
00:27:30,971 --> 00:27:31,605
I attended I guess when

738
00:27:31,605 --> 00:27:32,305
marathon close recently a

739
00:27:32,305 --> 00:27:35,905
couple years ago, there was a

740
00:27:35,976 --> 00:27:36,643
lot of the highly refining

741
00:27:36,643 --> 00:27:38,946
workers that we're sort of

742
00:27:38,946 --> 00:27:42,349
left out of that and that

743
00:27:42,349 --> 00:27:43,830
opened the eyes of a so

744
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:46,830
Grayson. And that's why I

745
00:27:46,587 --> 00:27:49,223
developed a so. Supervisor Joy

746
00:27:49,223 --> 00:27:52,460
has been sort Very involved in

747
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:54,795
it. So I don't think it will

748
00:27:54,795 --> 00:27:56,497
hurt us. Attendee, but I do

749
00:27:56,497 --> 00:27:57,799
think it would open up a

750
00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:00,199
possible job opportunities in

751
00:28:00,301 --> 00:28:03,571
the future. We don't have any

752
00:28:03,571 --> 00:28:04,205
other questions by council. Go

753
00:28:04,205 --> 00:28:07,205
ahead to have any public

754
00:28:08,176 --> 00:28:11,176
speakers. I have no speakers

755
00:28:12,380 --> 00:28:15,115
on agenda bring it back to

756
00:28:15,115 --> 00:28:17,686
there's a a a resolution

757
00:28:17,686 --> 00:28:20,686
attached to this. Does anybody

758
00:28:21,456 --> 00:28:25,560
have any offers of who they'd

759
00:28:25,761 --> 00:28:26,395
like to Councilmember Thank

760
00:28:26,395 --> 00:28:29,970
you. I'd like to know me

761
00:28:29,970 --> 00:28:29,765
myself for the primary. A

762
00:28:29,765 --> 00:28:32,765
board member for the Green

763
00:28:34,769 --> 00:28:36,605
Empowerment Zone. Okay. Here,

764
00:28:36,605 --> 00:28:38,174
one looks all and I just want

765
00:28:38,174 --> 00:28:38,873
to second that I think he'd be

766
00:28:38,873 --> 00:28:40,309
great. Okay. All right. Well,

767
00:28:40,309 --> 00:28:42,511
that's a first and second.

768
00:28:42,511 --> 00:28:45,511
Okay. With that, we'll go

769
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:49,352

770
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:51,353
resolution calls for primary

771
00:28:51,353 --> 00:28:52,550
and alternate. I thought we do

772
00:28:52,550 --> 00:28:52,688
the primary and work certain,

773
00:28:52,688 --> 00:28:55,124

of Alex, please say Aye. I

776
00:29:01,297 --> 00:29:05,497
okay. If it is e primary and

779
00:29:15,745 --> 00:29:17,713

781
00:29:18,348 --> 00:29:20,748

784
00:29:32,129 --> 00:29:32,796
those in favor of plea for

785
00:29:32,796 --> 00:29:34,300
Councilmember Kelly as the

786
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:36,430
alternative to the cheesy

787
00:29:38,269 --> 00:29:42,469

790
00:29:51,683 --> 00:29:54,586
have primary and we have the

791
00:29:54,586 --> 00:29:56,586
alternate and then

792
00:29:57,622 --> 00:29:58,490

793
00:29:58,490 --> 00:29:59,190

you MAY have. Ok? Thank you

very much, a so bringing back

902
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:26,935
to council any questions

903
00:33:31,108 --> 00:33:31,810
councilmember come. We're

904
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:32,376
moving to a new system to

905
00:33:32,376 --> 00:33:34,145
retain the records. I

906
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:35,800
understand all of that. And

907
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,480
this will include digital

908
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:39,251
records as well as the records

909
00:33:39,251 --> 00:33:43,422
that we now have in hard copy.

910
00:33:43,422 --> 00:33:44,289
Is that correct? That is

911
00:33:44,289 --> 00:33:45,256
correct. And where are we

912
00:33:45,256 --> 00:33:47,159
moving more and more to

913
00:33:47,159 --> 00:33:50,159
digital records for many of

914
00:33:50,996 --> 00:33:52,631
our our files right now. And

915
00:33:52,631 --> 00:33:55,340
we're moving in that That is

916
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:58,340
part of the implementation of

917
00:33:59,738 --> 00:34:01,506
of his of rcs is program that

918
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:02,207
will further down the road,

919
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:05,207
though. We're going work with

920
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:06,112
what we currently have and

921
00:34:06,112 --> 00:34:06,746
manage that first and then

922
00:34:06,746 --> 00:34:09,146
work with our electronic

923
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:13,152
files. I assume that, you

924
00:34:13,152 --> 00:34:14,186
know, are all of our

925
00:34:14,186 --> 00:34:14,854
electronic files will be

926
00:34:14,854 --> 00:34:15,555
backed up bright, like, you

927
00:34:15,555 --> 00:34:18,555
know, somewhere in Kansas or

928
00:34:20,126 --> 00:34:21,327
something like that. Off site.

929
00:34:21,327 --> 00:34:21,995
Once again proves can probably

930
00:34:21,995 --> 00:34:24,395
provide more information on

931
00:34:25,398 --> 00:34:27,100
that. Okay. And then the

932
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:28,680
question I have is about the

933
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,436
in active files. I know that's

934
00:34:30,436 --> 00:34:31,104
a really big job. And I've

935
00:34:31,104 --> 00:34:34,700
gone to some of those files

936
00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:34,708
over 10 years ago, but I know

937
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:37,744
there's a bunch of files down

938
00:34:37,744 --> 00:34:38,544
in the corporation yard. Who

939
00:34:38,544 --> 00:34:41,748
is going to go down and look

940
00:34:41,748 --> 00:34:42,449
at those files and determined

941
00:34:42,449 --> 00:34:46,490
whether or not we're going to

942
00:34:46,153 --> 00:34:46,787
keep them and some of those

943
00:34:46,787 --> 00:34:49,556
files MAY not be in good

944
00:34:49,556 --> 00:34:50,190
condition. So how will they be

945
00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:52,590
protected? Maybe you are.

946
00:34:55,229 --> 00:34:58,229
MISTER Meyer can address this.

947
00:34:58,465 --> 00:34:59,700
Happy address a survey of the

948
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:00,434
locations. We have the trailer

949
00:35:00,434 --> 00:35:01,135
outside of City Hall that

950
00:35:01,135 --> 00:35:03,535
contains a significant amount

951
00:35:07,642 --> 00:35:10,430
of data. And we also have a a

952
00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:10,745
cargo container out of the

953
00:35:10,745 --> 00:35:12,745
courtyard that unfortunately

954
00:35:14,115 --> 00:35:17,180
had a leak at some point. And

955
00:35:17,180 --> 00:35:20,618
of the 90 some odd boxes that

956
00:35:21,689 --> 00:35:25,289
are in in that container very,

957
00:35:25,627 --> 00:35:27,662
very few. Are south Kabul.

958
00:35:27,662 --> 00:35:28,997
It's it's that's not a pretty

959
00:35:28,997 --> 00:35:30,980
situation. Is something of a

960
00:35:30,980 --> 00:35:33,980
hazmat situation is nothing I

961
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,600
haven't done the trailer is a

962
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,600
little bit of a better

963
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,760
situation, although there is a

964
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,244
significant amount of mold

965
00:35:42,244 --> 00:35:43,450
files in there because, again,

966
00:35:43,450 --> 00:35:44,146
the same scenario there was a

967
00:35:44,146 --> 00:35:47,160
leak and not to in that

968
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,317
location. So I will be going

969
00:35:48,317 --> 00:35:50,317
through reviewing records

970
00:35:52,388 --> 00:35:53,856
records that are salvageable

971
00:35:53,856 --> 00:35:54,557
will repackaged into a into

972
00:35:54,557 --> 00:35:56,957
new containers. New standard

973
00:35:58,961 --> 00:36:01,430
size record boxes and prepare

974
00:36:01,430 --> 00:36:04,430
for storage wherever we turn

975
00:36:06,335 --> 00:36:07,360
to to store those records.

976
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:07,670
That's something that I'll be

977
00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:10,500
discussing is part of the

978
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:12,700
program on the best option,

979
00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:14,110
too, to handle those that

980
00:36:14,110 --> 00:36:15,845
those records, the inactive

981
00:36:15,845 --> 00:36:17,981
records for consider scanning

982
00:36:17,981 --> 00:36:18,982
them depending upon. Obviously

983
00:36:18,982 --> 00:36:19,649
the retention life of those

984
00:36:19,649 --> 00:36:20,350
documents. Know that a fair

985
00:36:20,350 --> 00:36:23,753
amount of things that in the

986
00:36:23,753 --> 00:36:25,753
trailer. Permanent records.

987
00:36:26,256 --> 00:36:28,656
They are planning documents

988
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:31,491
building public cip projects.

989
00:36:32,929 --> 00:36:36,499
So and a little history on the

990
00:36:36,499 --> 00:36:39,499
2 that I work primarily with

991
00:36:39,569 --> 00:36:40,637
the cities, districts and

992
00:36:40,637 --> 00:36:41,238
counties. In we implemented a

993
00:36:41,238 --> 00:36:43,941
program for the city of

994
00:36:43,941 --> 00:36:45,750
Hercules back in the Mid 80's.

995
00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:48,545
And obviously this is when you

996
00:36:48,545 --> 00:36:51,545
are across the street from

997
00:36:53,818 --> 00:36:55,786
from the dynamite location the

998
00:36:55,786 --> 00:36:56,454
dynamite this is necessary

999
00:36:56,454 --> 00:36:59,257
these are records that I'm

1000
00:36:59,257 --> 00:37:01,910
intimately familiar with. And,

1001
00:37:01,910 --> 00:37:01,826
you know, setting up the

1002
00:37:01,826 --> 00:37:03,361
retention schedules will allow

1003
00:37:03,361 --> 00:37:03,995
us to destroy records that

1004
00:37:03,995 --> 00:37:06,995
that are obsolete at this

1005
00:37:07,932 --> 00:37:08,566
point. And whatever is

1006
00:37:08,566 --> 00:37:09,868
remaining, whether that's

1007
00:37:09,868 --> 00:37:11,868
permanent or long-term

1008
00:37:11,870 --> 00:37:13,505
records, we will determine as

1009
00:37:13,505 --> 00:37:16,505
we go through those documents

1010
00:37:18,430 --> 00:37:19,111
on the best method to retain.

1011
00:37:19,111 --> 00:37:19,778
Well, it's heartening to know

1012
00:37:19,778 --> 00:37:21,780
that you are familiar with

1013
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:22,513
many of these these records

1014
00:37:22,513 --> 00:37:24,683
and I thank you very much. One

1015
00:37:24,683 --> 00:37:25,850
of the question and that is if

1016
00:37:25,850 --> 00:37:26,785
you find that some of these

1017
00:37:26,785 --> 00:37:27,519
documents are just really not

1018
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:29,822
salvageable and you can't read

1019
00:37:29,822 --> 00:37:33,422
them. Can we just then destroy

1020
00:37:35,394 --> 00:37:37,563
them? I think can tell what

1021
00:37:37,563 --> 00:37:38,264
they are. Oh, I'm I think what

1022
00:37:38,264 --> 00:37:38,898
you do is have a statement of

1023
00:37:38,898 --> 00:37:41,898
some sort for saying that

1024
00:37:42,401 --> 00:37:43,350
records of damage. Okay. You

1025
00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:45,471
know, we'll go through a

1026
00:37:45,471 --> 00:37:48,471
process to to basically have

1027
00:37:48,674 --> 00:37:49,342
approvals for that

1028
00:37:49,342 --> 00:37:50,760
destruction, understanding

1029
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,545
that these records are legible

1030
00:37:52,545 --> 00:37:54,881
at this point. Encountered

1031
00:37:54,881 --> 00:37:58,481
this a couple times now. Thank

1032
00:37:58,850 --> 00:38:00,353
you very much. Pleasure. And

1033
00:38:00,353 --> 00:38:02,753
next week I think

1034
00:38:03,856 --> 00:38:05,856
Councilmember Brunswick. My

1035
00:38:08,528 --> 00:38:10,263
question is related for non

1036
00:38:10,263 --> 00:38:11,431
permanent documents. What is

1037
00:38:11,431 --> 00:38:12,732
the length of time for

1038
00:38:12,732 --> 00:38:13,332
retention or and how far back

1039
00:38:13,332 --> 00:38:14,935
where we go in terms of

1040
00:38:14,935 --> 00:38:17,335
retaining documents are does

1041
00:38:19,406 --> 00:38:22,509
such a requirement exist? I so

1042
00:38:22,509 --> 00:38:23,710
much of that really depends

1043
00:38:23,710 --> 00:38:26,380
upon the document south. And

1044
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:27,514
there are a variety of legal

1045
00:38:27,514 --> 00:38:29,717
citations and caviar. I'm not

1046
00:38:29,717 --> 00:38:32,452
a lawyer, but work with many

1047
00:38:32,452 --> 00:38:34,854
city attorneys and lawyers to

1048
00:38:34,854 --> 00:38:35,956
create the research that I

1049
00:38:35,956 --> 00:38:39,556
have. And also, you enough out

1050
00:38:43,297 --> 00:38:44,698
on my own the the minimum

1051
00:38:44,698 --> 00:38:46,698
required retention for

1052
00:38:46,934 --> 00:38:47,534
municipal records is 2 years.

1053
00:38:47,534 --> 00:38:50,534
And that's based upon a

1054
00:38:50,772 --> 00:38:52,473
government code. 34 0, which

1055
00:38:52,473 --> 00:38:56,730
is, you know, governed by the

1056
00:38:56,578 --> 00:38:57,645
state. Obviously that states

1057
00:38:57,645 --> 00:38:59,514
that in addition to calling

1058
00:38:59,514 --> 00:39:01,914
specific records relating real

1059
00:39:02,918 --> 00:39:03,484
property within the city and

1060
00:39:03,484 --> 00:39:05,884
decisions of the city

1061
00:39:05,887 --> 00:39:07,887
resolutions minutes ordinances

1062
00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:10,910
that require permanency on

1063
00:39:10,910 --> 00:39:11,994
those records. Beyond that,

1064
00:39:11,994 --> 00:39:13,962
the state has some guidelines

1065
00:39:13,962 --> 00:39:14,629
that not been updated since

1066
00:39:14,629 --> 00:39:17,629
2006, but we still have to

1067
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,501
take those into consideration.

1068
00:39:19,501 --> 00:39:23,101
We can also override some of

1069
00:39:24,540 --> 00:39:26,750
those there are numerous

1070
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:26,642
citations that's the code of

1071
00:39:26,642 --> 00:39:27,710
federal regulations.

1072
00:39:27,710 --> 00:39:30,110
California code of regulations

1073
00:39:31,614 --> 00:39:33,116
or other governing bodies that

1074
00:39:33,116 --> 00:39:33,815
require us to keep records

1075
00:39:33,815 --> 00:39:36,815
either shorter or longer than

1076
00:39:37,186 --> 00:39:39,210
what the state says. So we're

1077
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:40,389
using the state as guy

1078
00:39:40,389 --> 00:39:42,789
initially, but expanding upon

1079
00:39:43,926 --> 00:39:46,529
that with any citations and

1080
00:39:46,529 --> 00:39:47,664
common practice that would

1081
00:39:47,664 --> 00:39:49,132
either extend or shorten

1082
00:39:49,132 --> 00:39:51,468
retention life documents. I

1083
00:39:51,468 --> 00:39:54,468
can answer question. Yes, it

1084
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,840
Think you. Councilmember Thank

1085
00:40:01,377 --> 00:40:04,377
you for this. Just what?

1086
00:40:04,781 --> 00:40:08,381
What's coming up for you? Of

1087
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:10,153
worst since records. I'm

1088
00:40:10,153 --> 00:40:12,553
sorry. I'm having trouble

1089
00:40:13,957 --> 00:40:16,694
hearing it. So sorry. My mic

1090
00:40:16,694 --> 00:40:17,428
was Thank you, MISTER Thank

1091
00:40:17,428 --> 00:40:21,280
you again for doing this. Just

1092
00:40:21,165 --> 00:40:21,765
kind of want know like what

1093
00:40:21,765 --> 00:40:22,433
what's upgrade in terms

1094
00:40:22,433 --> 00:40:25,433
security to make sure that

1095
00:40:27,557 --> 00:40:27,817
some of the more sensitive

1096
00:40:27,817 --> 00:40:28,940
documents are protected. Well,

1097
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:30,641
as as part of the review of

1098
00:40:30,641 --> 00:40:31,241
the documents, I would know

1099
00:40:31,241 --> 00:40:33,641
basically what would be

1100
00:40:34,512 --> 00:40:35,480
considered record I know

1101
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,480
records have vitality to them

1102
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,488
for the city important records

1103
00:40:43,488 --> 00:40:44,823
to records that might might

1104
00:40:44,823 --> 00:40:47,223
have a significant financial

1105
00:40:47,225 --> 00:40:49,928
costs to reproduce that might

1106
00:40:49,928 --> 00:40:52,640
actually jeopardize you know,

1107
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,965
the city's financial aspects

1108
00:40:53,965 --> 00:40:54,632
of something goes wrong with

1109
00:40:54,632 --> 00:40:56,330
those records. If you know,

1110
00:40:56,330 --> 00:40:59,330
there's a disaster of some

1111
00:41:01,340 --> 00:41:02,206
sort, there are as part of a

1112
00:41:02,206 --> 00:41:04,142
retention program. There are

1113
00:41:04,142 --> 00:41:06,177
aspects of designating vital

1114
00:41:06,177 --> 00:41:08,280
records and that will be a

1115
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,380
column in the retention

1116
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:10,820
schedule saying these these

1117
00:41:10,820 --> 00:41:12,117
are vital records and we need

1118
00:41:12,117 --> 00:41:13,385
to protect these accordingly.

1119
00:41:13,385 --> 00:41:16,255
How we protect those, whether

1120
00:41:16,255 --> 00:41:18,655
that's standing and storing

1121
00:41:19,492 --> 00:41:20,125
offsite some other process is

1122
00:41:20,125 --> 00:41:22,525
really part of Extending

1123
00:41:24,730 --> 00:41:25,364
extending the program. So and

1124
00:41:25,364 --> 00:41:27,333
everyone thinks that the

1125
00:41:27,333 --> 00:41:30,333
records are vital. Reality is

1126
00:41:31,237 --> 00:41:32,238
that records are important. We

1127
00:41:32,238 --> 00:41:34,340
want the records that that are

1128
00:41:34,340 --> 00:41:36,242
vital to the survival of the

1129
00:41:36,242 --> 00:41:38,244
city to be protected.

1130
00:41:38,244 --> 00:41:40,644
Accordingly and will designate

1131
00:41:42,336 --> 00:41:42,597
those as part of the records

1132
00:41:42,597 --> 00:41:43,250
retention program and updates

1133
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:45,650
retention states. Great. Thank

1134
00:41:50,624 --> 00:41:51,291
you. Thank you very Vice-mayor

1135
00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:54,361
big. Get that to which they

1136
00:41:54,361 --> 00:41:55,395
just want staff of the report

1137
00:41:55,395 --> 00:41:57,564
is making life easier in a

1138
00:41:57,564 --> 00:41:59,433
year to have to get to the

1139
00:41:59,433 --> 00:42:00,934
setting the rules. Right?

1140
00:42:00,934 --> 00:42:03,334
Fresh to secure mentioned

1141
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:08,500
before getting to process. And

1142
00:42:08,509 --> 00:42:12,109
I guess my question MISTER So

1143
00:42:13,814 --> 00:42:15,449
2018, we adopted retention

1144
00:42:15,449 --> 00:42:17,849
documents for the city

1145
00:42:18,419 --> 00:42:19,253
Hercules. So you've gone

1146
00:42:19,253 --> 00:42:22,253
through that. Part of our

1147
00:42:22,957 --> 00:42:24,892
agenda speech. 49 to 73. So is

1148
00:42:24,892 --> 00:42:26,260
that going to be adequate

1149
00:42:26,260 --> 00:42:28,620
enough? A or other items that

1150
00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:28,797
you need to take off are there

1151
00:42:28,797 --> 00:42:32,997
are items that you need to add

1152
00:42:34,101 --> 00:42:35,970
on to. We'll be reviewing that

1153
00:42:35,970 --> 00:42:36,705
your current schedules with

1154
00:42:36,705 --> 00:42:37,973
the department will be sitting

1155
00:42:37,973 --> 00:42:39,740
down with court. People in the

1156
00:42:39,740 --> 00:42:40,242
departments will designate

1157
00:42:40,242 --> 00:42:41,900
what we call records

1158
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:43,900
coordinator Sosa normally

1159
00:42:43,780 --> 00:42:43,812
administrative staff within

1160
00:42:43,812 --> 00:42:44,513
the departments that are

1161
00:42:44,513 --> 00:42:46,913
intimately familiar with the

1162
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:50,852
records. In addition to any

1163
00:42:50,852 --> 00:42:51,453
other staff management for

1164
00:42:51,453 --> 00:42:52,154
that matter that are

1165
00:42:52,154 --> 00:42:54,554
interested in being involved

1166
00:42:55,357 --> 00:42:56,525
in this initial interview

1167
00:42:56,525 --> 00:42:58,294
process will review each one

1168
00:42:58,294 --> 00:42:58,961
of those sections confirm that

1169
00:42:58,961 --> 00:43:01,960
those are the records that

1170
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:02,164
they actually have of. If

1171
00:43:02,164 --> 00:43:05,268
there are any missing, what I

1172
00:43:05,268 --> 00:43:07,269
call records series types of

1173
00:43:07,269 --> 00:43:09,405
records, get through anything

1174
00:43:09,405 --> 00:43:10,172
missing will add those into

1175
00:43:10,172 --> 00:43:12,341
the schedules, all develop a

1176
00:43:12,341 --> 00:43:12,909
system that that higher

1177
00:43:12,909 --> 00:43:14,510
quickly organizes the

1178
00:43:14,510 --> 00:43:15,745
information when within each

1179
00:43:15,745 --> 00:43:18,145
department, according to they

1180
00:43:18,514 --> 00:43:19,582
think about organizing it. I

1181
00:43:19,582 --> 00:43:21,851
can't tell them how to do it.

1182
00:43:21,851 --> 00:43:24,654
They have to tell me how they

1183
00:43:24,654 --> 00:43:25,821
consider structuring

1184
00:43:25,821 --> 00:43:26,689
information and then we build

1185
00:43:26,689 --> 00:43:29,689
the retention schedules off of

1186
00:43:31,695 --> 00:43:35,895
that the it what we have right

1187
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,634
now is it's usable. It's

1188
00:43:37,634 --> 00:43:39,634
missing description. Just

1189
00:43:39,970 --> 00:43:43,106
missing a lot of citations. I

1190
00:43:43,106 --> 00:43:45,410
prefer to have a significant

1191
00:43:45,410 --> 00:43:45,742
section of citations to prove

1192
00:43:45,742 --> 00:43:46,409
this is the reason chose and

1193
00:43:46,409 --> 00:43:48,450
this retention schedule for

1194
00:43:48,450 --> 00:43:49,580
this type of record. And we

1195
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:52,580
want to add those And

1196
00:43:53,249 --> 00:43:56,249
addition, we want to have

1197
00:43:56,620 --> 00:43:57,555
reasons behind any department

1198
00:43:57,555 --> 00:43:58,221
extensions or even reductions

1199
00:43:58,221 --> 00:44:00,900
and retention schedules and

1200
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,900
the retention period for their

1201
00:44:05,963 --> 00:44:07,164
documents. That's important to

1202
00:44:07,164 --> 00:44:07,832
set precedence for that. The

1203
00:44:07,832 --> 00:44:11,432
decision to make it to keep

1204
00:44:11,602 --> 00:44:13,638
that record longer or shorter.

1205
00:44:13,638 --> 00:44:14,339
So that's that's the process

1206
00:44:14,339 --> 00:44:16,341
that all be going through and

1207
00:44:16,341 --> 00:44:18,276
it will be a back and forth

1208
00:44:18,276 --> 00:44:19,277
initially confirming setting

1209
00:44:19,277 --> 00:44:20,110
up the indexing structure,

1210
00:44:20,110 --> 00:44:23,281
send it back to the department

1211
00:44:23,281 --> 00:44:23,915
so they can review it and get

1212
00:44:23,915 --> 00:44:26,315
their approvals. And the

1213
00:44:26,918 --> 00:44:29,918
intent is to get 90 5 to 98%

1214
00:44:30,522 --> 00:44:32,457
accuracy off the bat. When

1215
00:44:32,457 --> 00:44:34,459
they actually start using the

1216
00:44:34,459 --> 00:44:35,527
retention schedules, it will

1217
00:44:35,527 --> 00:44:36,361
change. There are. It's a

1218
00:44:36,361 --> 00:44:39,361
dynamic document. It is. It's

1219
00:44:40,198 --> 00:44:42,201
it's intended to change to

1220
00:44:42,201 --> 00:44:43,301
adapt to how they think about

1221
00:44:43,301 --> 00:44:46,380
filing how how they want to

1222
00:44:46,380 --> 00:44:47,106
keep that the documents and

1223
00:44:47,106 --> 00:44:47,840
we're talking not just it.

1224
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:48,506
Talking paper and electronic

1225
00:44:48,506 --> 00:44:51,210
to and mike reforms that we

1226
00:44:51,210 --> 00:44:53,612
have. Mike reports. But it's

1227
00:44:53,612 --> 00:44:54,345
it's up to them to tell me how

1228
00:44:54,345 --> 00:44:57,345
they need to use the

1229
00:44:58,417 --> 00:44:59,451
information. Okay. Again, like

1230
00:44:59,451 --> 00:45:00,653
I said, the minimum

1231
00:45:00,653 --> 00:45:02,621
requirement is 2 years, but

1232
00:45:02,621 --> 00:45:05,210
they might reference materials

1233
00:45:05,124 --> 00:45:05,758
for 5 years for historical

1234
00:45:05,758 --> 00:45:08,158
purposes for trending for

1235
00:45:09,620 --> 00:45:09,996
whatever the reason we want

1236
00:45:09,996 --> 00:45:11,731
that reason associated with

1237
00:45:11,731 --> 00:45:13,731
that administrative decision.

1238
00:45:13,733 --> 00:45:16,200
Keep the record longer or

1239
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:16,669
shorter and that sets the

1240
00:45:16,669 --> 00:45:17,837
precedent. If our system is

1241
00:45:17,837 --> 00:45:21,437
called into court. And as for

1242
00:45:24,377 --> 00:45:27,377
tonight, okay. And for plants.

1243
00:45:27,914 --> 00:45:30,170
Would be routine forever. A

1244
00:45:30,170 --> 00:45:30,650
permanent building building

1245
00:45:30,650 --> 00:45:32,650
plans, development plans.

1246
00:45:35,988 --> 00:45:36,656
Those will be available.

1247
00:45:36,656 --> 00:45:37,391
Absolutely. All right. And

00:45:37,391 --> 00:45:39,626

00:46:51,701 --> 00:46:55,700
this and also chief a circus.

1283
00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:56,672
Getting new mayor members of

1284
00:46:56,672 --> 00:46:57,473
council members of the

1285
00:46:57,473 --> 00:46:59,473

1286
00:47:00,343 --> 00:47:01,411
parks and recreation director.

1287
00:47:01,411 --> 00:47:02,111
Tonight, we are here to talk

1288
00:47:02,111 --> 00:47:04,111
about volunteer recognition.

1289
00:47:06,282 --> 00:47:07,384
The city of Hercules. The city

1290
00:47:07,384 --> 00:47:08,384
of Hercules has been very

1291
00:47:08,384 --> 00:47:09,119
fortunate to work with several

1292
00:47:09,119 --> 00:47:11,519
volunteers throughout the city

1293
00:47:11,821 --> 00:47:13,623
in many capacities. Staff

1294
00:47:13,623 --> 00:47:14,290
would like to recognize these

1295
00:47:14,290 --> 00:47:15,859
volunteers to play a vital

1296
00:47:15,859 --> 00:47:18,128
role in the success of the

1297
00:47:18,128 --> 00:47:19,463
city. The city recognizes that

1298
00:47:19,463 --> 00:47:20,597
we cannot do all that we do

1299
00:47:20,597 --> 00:47:21,565
without the assistance from so

1300
00:47:21,565 --> 00:47:24,565
many wonderful people doing so

1301
00:47:24,601 --> 00:47:27,601
many selfless things. Part of

1302
00:47:28,338 --> 00:47:29,600
the background of volunteer

1303
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,774
recognition, the Parks and

1304
00:47:30,774 --> 00:47:31,507
Recreation Department has

1305
00:47:31,507 --> 00:47:33,907
traditionally benefited at our

1306
00:47:35,446 --> 00:47:36,113
senior center. Those senior

1307
00:47:36,113 --> 00:47:38,513
members who volunteer their

1308
00:47:38,948 --> 00:47:39,583
time helping with meals

1309
00:47:39,583 --> 00:47:41,983
working the front counter

1310
00:47:43,888 --> 00:47:44,522
teaching classes. Assisting

1311
00:47:44,522 --> 00:47:47,522
with just a plethora of

1312
00:47:47,592 --> 00:47:48,726
activities and programs.

1313
00:47:48,726 --> 00:47:50,194
Earlier this year, we were

1314
00:47:50,194 --> 00:47:53,197
able to recognize one of our

1315
00:47:53,197 --> 00:47:54,432
senior volunteers at the

1316
00:47:54,432 --> 00:47:55,767
senior Center. We nominated

1317
00:47:55,767 --> 00:47:57,602
her for an award through

1318
00:47:57,602 --> 00:47:59,504
switches, California Park and

1319
00:47:59,504 --> 00:48:01,973
rec society. And we're happy

1320
00:48:01,973 --> 00:48:02,640
to say that Dory Smith was

1321
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,909
selected as an outstanding

1322
00:48:04,909 --> 00:48:06,978
volunteer through cpr. Us and

1323
00:48:06,978 --> 00:48:08,480
staff couldn't wait to take

1324
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,214
are to Albany and have lunch

1325
00:48:09,214 --> 00:48:12,214
with her and celebrate Dorian,

1326
00:48:13,180 --> 00:48:14,860
all that she does. The parks,

1327
00:48:14,860 --> 00:48:16,860
Recreation Department, also

1328
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:20,892
partners with 14 see recognize

1329
00:48:20,892 --> 00:48:21,560
nonprofit organizations. These

1330
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,160

members of City Council. Want

1378
00:49:59,194 --> 00:50:00,195
to thank you for giving us a

1379
00:50:00,195 --> 00:50:01,830
platform this evening to

1380
00:50:01,830 --> 00:50:03,799
publicly acknowledge and

1381
00:50:03,799 --> 00:50:04,533
recognize the many

1382
00:50:04,533 --> 00:50:06,533
contributions that our

1383
00:50:07,503 --> 00:50:08,403
volunteers give us on a daily

1384
00:50:08,403 --> 00:50:10,500
basis. It's incredible what

1385
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:12,107
they do for us on a daily

1386
00:50:12,107 --> 00:50:13,740
basis for the police

1387
00:50:13,740 --> 00:50:15,377
department. There are many

1388
00:50:15,377 --> 00:50:16,845
things that they do behind the

1389
00:50:16,845 --> 00:50:19,845
scenes. We have many, many

1390
00:50:20,282 --> 00:50:21,450
community events that they now

1391
00:50:21,450 --> 00:50:22,218
only participating put it

1392
00:50:22,218 --> 00:50:25,218
together, but they also helped

1393
00:50:28,570 --> 00:50:29,158
organize their contributions

1394
00:50:29,158 --> 00:50:30,727
are measurable. Many of them

1395
00:50:30,727 --> 00:50:31,461
not only donate time, but they

1396
00:50:31,461 --> 00:50:34,461
also donate funds or resources

1397
00:50:34,831 --> 00:50:36,899
to different things and they

1398
00:50:36,899 --> 00:50:38,934
never looked for any kind of

1399
00:50:38,934 --> 00:50:39,735
public acknowledgment. Think

1400
00:50:39,735 --> 00:50:40,437
for me, one of the things that

1401
00:50:40,437 --> 00:50:43,437
is most impressive about what

1402
00:50:43,606 --> 00:50:44,274
they do not only did they

1403
00:50:44,274 --> 00:50:44,941
donate their time for their

1404
00:50:44,941 --> 00:50:46,376
community in the place that

1405
00:50:46,376 --> 00:50:49,679
they call home, but they do it

1406
00:50:49,679 --> 00:50:51,481
with a smile. And it's really

1407
00:50:51,481 --> 00:50:53,481
impactful infections our

1408
00:50:53,683 --> 00:50:54,418
staff. I want to thank each

1409
00:50:54,418 --> 00:50:56,253
and every one of them. They're

1410
00:50:56,253 --> 00:50:57,621
here tonight in the first

1411
00:50:57,621 --> 00:50:58,322
couple rows. Some of them

1412
00:50:58,322 --> 00:51:01,922
actually here who are part of

1413
00:51:02,159 --> 00:51:04,193
advisory board as well. We

1414
00:51:04,193 --> 00:51:06,363
couldn't do. We couldn't

1415
00:51:06,363 --> 00:51:08,980
function our daily operations

1416
00:51:08,980 --> 00:51:11,980
just would cease exist without

1417
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:16,390
their Thank you so much. So.

1418
00:51:16,390 --> 00:51:16,840
In an analysis of we just want

1419
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,209
to say that the city of

1420
00:51:19,209 --> 00:51:20,911
Hercules has benefited greatly

1421
00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:21,646
from all of these groups, all

1422
00:51:21,646 --> 00:51:22,980
these selfless individuals who

1423
00:51:22,980 --> 00:51:26,183
come out and help on a regular

1424
00:51:26,183 --> 00:51:26,851
basis. It's not just through

1425
00:51:26,851 --> 00:51:29,530
the senior center. It's not

1426
00:51:29,530 --> 00:51:29,787
just through Hercules Police

1427
00:51:29,787 --> 00:51:33,387
Department or the adopt a park

1428
00:51:35,426 --> 00:51:36,327
program or the team up to

1429
00:51:36,327 --> 00:51:36,961
clean up that we just started.

1430
00:51:36,961 --> 00:51:39,361
It's everything. It's all

1431
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:40,265
combined. So encompassing and

1432
00:51:40,265 --> 00:51:40,932
but I'd like to do is I'd like

1433
00:51:40,932 --> 00:51:43,634
to show a couple of photos

1434
00:51:43,634 --> 00:51:45,770

seconds. There's 3 questions

1454
00:52:28,815 --> 00:52:29,481

day in 15 days that rain was

1464
00:52:51,171 --> 00:52:52,372
MAY 4th cleanup day. We

1465
00:52:52,372 --> 00:52:53,540
ordered a slight drizzle to be

1466
00:52:53,540 --> 00:52:54,208
there about 06:30am, in the

1467
00:52:54,208 --> 00:52:56,543
morning just to keep the

1468
00:52:56,543 --> 00:53:00,143
ground will you know when keep

1469
00:53:00,548 --> 00:53:01,949
us cool. And it decided have a

1470
00:53:01,949 --> 00:53:04,949
daily and we were soaked.

1471
00:53:04,985 --> 00:53:05,786
Let's go ahead and go through

1472
00:53:05,786 --> 00:53:06,487
some of those slain. These are

1473
00:53:06,487 --> 00:53:09,924
just some of the photos from

1474
00:53:09,924 --> 00:53:10,658
the event. I personally want

1475
00:53:10,658 --> 00:53:11,893
to say, I've I've been here

1476
00:53:11,893 --> 00:53:13,528
for 8 years and I've run

1477
00:53:13,528 --> 00:53:14,862
countless events in the city

1478
00:53:14,862 --> 00:53:17,862
of Hercules. I've worked with

1479
00:53:18,366 --> 00:53:21,966
many of you most of the

1480
00:53:24,370 --> 00:53:25,206
nonprofit and they leadership

1481
00:53:25,206 --> 00:53:26,841
every year and I worked and

1482
00:53:26,841 --> 00:53:28,910
run several events for parks

1483
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:29,678
and recreation. I've also done

1484
00:53:29,678 --> 00:53:31,780
that for the majority of my

1485
00:53:31,780 --> 00:53:34,180
career, which expands about 40

1486
00:53:34,282 --> 00:53:36,985
years now, I'm sorry to say

1487
00:53:36,985 --> 00:53:40,121
that but I would like to say

1488
00:53:40,121 --> 00:53:42,491
that I was never more. I'm

1489
00:53:42,491 --> 00:53:44,590
impressed with the When I got

1490
00:53:44,590 --> 00:53:44,726
there on Saturday, we start to

1491
00:53:44,726 --> 00:53:45,394
talk about we did a safety

1492
00:53:45,394 --> 00:53:48,394
talk that we normally would

1493
00:53:50,933 --> 00:53:52,400
do. I showed an example of how

1494
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,202
not to One of our dumpsters

1495
00:53:54,202 --> 00:53:56,602
that was there because

1496
00:53:57,873 --> 00:53:58,574
everyone just found things in

1497
00:53:58,574 --> 00:53:59,308
and then I showed a group of

1498
00:53:59,308 --> 00:54:02,908
people who have been there for

1499
00:54:03,478 --> 00:54:04,180
a while, how orchestrated it

1500
00:54:04,180 --> 00:54:05,470
and puzzled it all together.

1501
00:54:05,470 --> 00:54:05,748
And it was beautiful and

1502
00:54:05,748 --> 00:54:06,348
everybody understood. I said

1503
00:54:06,348 --> 00:54:08,484
you've got to be really

1504
00:54:08,484 --> 00:54:11,454
careful with the water. Let's

1505
00:54:11,454 --> 00:54:12,880
make a chain. Let's walk it

1506
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,880
down, organize And it was

1507
00:54:15,491 --> 00:54:18,491
great. The biggest thing I

1508
00:54:20,330 --> 00:54:21,300
took from the day I told

1509
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:23,767
everyone if you are too cold,

1510
00:54:23,767 --> 00:54:27,367
too wet, too tired, go home.

1511
00:54:27,671 --> 00:54:28,638
Do not overextend yourself.

1512
00:54:28,638 --> 00:54:29,372
And the vast majority of the

1513
00:54:29,372 --> 00:54:31,875
group stayed until the end and

1514
00:54:31,875 --> 00:54:32,609
they holding telling me, no,

1515

to see how much of our city

1549
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,150
really relies on the back of

1550
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:44,850
people who really care about

1551
00:55:44,850 --> 00:55:46,952
this community? I mean, it's

1552
00:55:46,952 --> 00:55:47,620
evident people standing and

1553
00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:48,287
the rain just a couple days

1554
00:55:48,287 --> 00:55:50,220
ago, how much people really

1555
00:55:50,220 --> 00:55:50,690
care about the city. So thank

1556
00:55:50,690 --> 00:55:53,192

1559
00:56:00,933 --> 00:56:02,435
sentiments. It's really great

1560
00:56:02,435 --> 00:56:03,169
to live in a city that is

1561
00:56:03,169 --> 00:56:03,869
still community oriented. It's

1562
00:56:03,869 --> 00:56:05,404
one of the things I love most

1563
00:56:05,404 --> 00:56:06,539
about living in the city of

1564
00:56:06,539 --> 00:56:09,676
Hercules is there are so many

1565
00:56:09,676 --> 00:56:11,477
people so willing to get up on

1566
00:56:11,477 --> 00:56:14,414
a rainy Saturday and come out

1567
00:56:14,414 --> 00:56:16,516
or on the average Tuesday or,

1568
00:56:16,516 --> 00:56:17,384
you know, and willing to do

1569
00:56:17,384 --> 00:56:18,510
pretty much anything for the

1570
00:56:18,510 --> 00:56:21,288
benefit of the city and the

1571
00:56:21,288 --> 00:56:21,922
people who live here. So just

1572
00:56:21,922 --> 00:56:24,858
want to say thank you to

1573
00:56:24,858 --> 00:56:25,458
everyone who's here, those who

1574
00:56:25,458 --> 00:56:27,927
aren't here, who MAY be

1575
00:56:27,927 --> 00:56:28,629
watching this at some point, I

1576
00:56:28,629 --> 00:56:31,629
got to special volunteers in

1577
00:56:31,732 --> 00:56:35,332

1578
00:56:35,436 --> 00:56:38,436
special thanks to you. Ok,

1579
00:56:39,205 --> 00:56:41,605
council member Kelly. Yeah,

00:56:41,742 --> 00:56:43,440
thank you very much for for

1581
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:44,645
this award. Chief, I know

1582
00:56:44,645 --> 00:56:45,780
you've got several volunteers

1583
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:49,484
here who I know and I've seen

1584
00:56:49,484 --> 00:56:50,118
over many years. Can weaver

1585
00:56:50,118 --> 00:56:50,818
nominate those people for

1586
00:56:50,818 --> 00:56:53,218
toward through the Herculean

1587
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,940
mile as a possible. We sure

1588
00:57:00,940 --> 00:57:01,620
Okay. So it's not parks and

1589
00:57:01,620 --> 00:57:02,564
rec. We can also nominate

1590
00:57:02,564 --> 00:57:03,531
somebody who's been helping

1591
00:57:03,531 --> 00:57:06,531
out in the police department

1592
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:08,303
to is that right? That's

1593
00:57:08,303 --> 00:57:09,300
correct. And some of our

1594
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:09,704
volunteers have not only been

1595
00:57:09,704 --> 00:57:12,774
here as long as I have, some

1596
00:57:12,774 --> 00:57:13,708
of actually be here longer. So

1597
00:57:13,708 --> 00:57:16,108
the spend decades of

1598
00:57:16,378 --> 00:57:17,212
self-sacrifice and service.

1599
00:57:17,212 --> 00:57:19,140
Yeah, that's really, really

1600
00:57:19,140 --> 00:57:19,581
great. And I want to thank all

1601
00:57:19,581 --> 00:57:21,981
of you really, really

1602
00:57:25,587 --> 00:57:26,288
appreciate this. And my last

1603
00:57:26,288 --> 00:57:28,288
sentiments volunteers. Thank

1604
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,160
you. I back when the dark days

1605
00:57:37,833 --> 00:57:38,567
are volunteers. Council member

1606
00:57:38,567 --> 00:57:40,603
Kelly was in moving around

1607
00:57:40,603 --> 00:57:41,304
documents for the state

1608
00:57:41,304 --> 00:57:44,304
auditor's and and our police

1609
00:57:47,376 --> 00:57:48,177
department was there. Our we

1610
00:57:48,177 --> 00:57:48,911
all look a little bit older,

1611
00:57:48,911 --> 00:57:52,148
but thank you for all the help

1612
00:57:52,148 --> 00:57:54,817
that you do. I just I look in

1613
00:57:54,817 --> 00:57:55,618
the room here and I still see

1614
00:57:55,618 --> 00:57:57,654
some of the same people we saw

1615
00:57:57,654 --> 00:57:59,723
12, 13 years ago. And it's

1616
00:57:59,723 --> 00:58:03,159
always nice to see that. So. I

1617
00:58:03,159 --> 00:58:03,827
agree with everybody.

1618
00:58:03,827 --> 00:58:05,962
Volunteers is part of what

1619
00:58:05,962 --> 00:58:06,596
makes a city great. And I

1620
00:58:06,596 --> 00:58:09,596
think that's review for a

1621
00:58:10,901 --> 00:58:11,635
while. So. I think we might

1622
00:58:11,635 --> 00:58:14,605
pause MAY ever like to come up

1623
00:58:14,605 --> 00:58:15,272
to take a picture. But to

1624
00:58:15,272 --> 00:58:16,740
volunteers appeared. We'll

1625
00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:19,740
take a picture with the.

1626
00:58:20,477 --> 00:58:21,178
Chief. Ask listen, Christopher

1627
00:58:21,178 --> 00:58:24,178
Rose with the Volunteers and

1628
00:58:24,248 --> 00:58:26,648
Council. That's okay. Pause

1629
00:58:39,564 --> 00:58:41,564
for minutes.

1630
01:00:48,363 --> 01:00:50,363
Thank you very

1631
01:00:51,132 --> 01:00:54,132
Back now, item number. 14 is

1632
01:00:55,437 --> 01:00:56,104
public communications. If

1633
01:00:56,104 --> 01:00:56,838

01:00:56,838 --> 01:00:59,274
the first one wish to speak at

1635
01:00:59,274 --> 01:00:59,908

1636
01:00:59,908 --> 01:01:03,508
a card to have a speaker

1638
01:01:19,228 --> 01:01:21,628

1639
01:01:32,410 --> 01:01:34,410
Please.

1640
01:01:37,681 --> 01:01:40,681
Please announce. First we have

1641
01:01:47,124 --> 01:01:47,791
Selena Williams. Thank We'll

1642
01:01:47,791 --> 01:01:51,391
try not to yell into this.

1643
01:01:51,995 --> 01:01:54,310
Mike. So the Williamson

1644
01:01:54,310 --> 01:01:55,999
Bayside at the residence since

1645
01:01:55,999 --> 01:01:57,634
2010. So we've seen a lot of

1646
01:01:57,634 --> 01:01:59,169
the ups and downs in the

1647
01:01:59,169 --> 01:02:02,169
planning and the changes in

1648
01:02:03,173 --> 01:02:06,577
over all these years. Love the

1649
01:02:06,577 --> 01:02:08,545
volunteer recognition. That's

1650
01:02:08,545 --> 01:02:09,847
fantastic. Looks to me that

1651
01:02:09,847 --> 01:02:12,847
our parks don't have regular

1652
01:02:13,500 --> 01:02:15,450
course. The volunteers, our

1653
01:02:15,753 --> 01:02:18,153
feeling however, I think

1654
01:02:18,956 --> 01:02:19,991
written about this before.

1655
01:02:19,991 --> 01:02:22,391
There's work that the

1656
01:02:22,860 --> 01:02:23,594
volunteers can't do. I'm like

1657
01:02:23,594 --> 01:02:26,594
preparing the surfaces and our

1658
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:29,467
parks. That children play, for

1659
01:02:29,467 --> 01:02:31,867
example, Central Park in

1660
01:02:32,303 --> 01:02:32,971
Bayside where you go down. I I

1661
01:02:32,971 --> 01:02:35,539
took my reds on their only

1662
01:02:35,539 --> 01:02:36,141
once and never to come back

1663
01:02:36,141 --> 01:02:38,541
because it's really too

1664
01:02:41,790 --> 01:02:42,681
dangerous. The surface. Really

1665
01:02:42,681 --> 01:02:43,415
bad and has not been

1666
01:02:43,415 --> 01:02:46,217
maintained. So you go down the

1667
01:02:46,217 --> 01:02:49,817
slide. It's a big call. And

1668
01:02:50,489 --> 01:02:52,491
that So I didn't see those

1669
01:02:52,491 --> 01:02:55,491
particular things in the parks

1670
01:02:57,290 --> 01:02:59,310
plan there's a lot of like.

1671
01:02:59,310 --> 01:02:59,799
Improvements. But where's the

1672
01:02:59,799 --> 01:03:02,199
regular maintenance? So I

1673
01:03:02,334 --> 01:03:05,171
think that's a big problem.

1674
01:03:05,171 --> 01:03:05,938
This deferred maintenance that

1675
01:03:05,938 --> 01:03:08,938
really needs to be addressed

1676
01:03:09,375 --> 01:03:10,109
because it's very dangerous.

1677
01:03:10,109 --> 01:03:13,709
Also, migrants and fell on his

1678
01:03:16,549 --> 01:03:17,183
face in a dot The park from

1679
01:03:17,183 --> 01:03:18,718
that park and the surface

1680
01:03:18,718 --> 01:03:21,521
scrape the skin off that

1681
01:03:21,521 --> 01:03:23,990
status. So it's very rough.

1682
01:03:23,990 --> 01:03:27,590
Also just I don't know. Seems

1683
01:03:27,794 --> 01:03:28,494
not appropriate a surface for

1684
01:03:28,494 --> 01:03:30,363
parks for children or if they

1685
01:03:30,363 --> 01:03:32,833
fall, they all the skin off

1686
01:03:32,833 --> 01:03:35,833
their body. So just also

1687
01:03:37,971 --> 01:03:39,406
there's not say it structures.

1688
01:03:39,406 --> 01:03:40,307
Central Park doesn't have any

1689
01:03:40,307 --> 01:03:41,808
shade. So it's basically

1690
01:03:41,808 --> 01:03:43,910
unusable for most of the

1691
01:03:43,910 --> 01:03:45,579
summer because it's really hot

1692
01:03:45,579 --> 01:03:48,579
there. And then the surfaces

1693
01:03:48,882 --> 01:03:49,516
and fact park get extremely

1694
01:03:49,516 --> 01:03:52,516
hot and dangerous for the

1695
01:03:53,521 --> 01:03:56,357
children as well. So I just

1696
01:03:56,357 --> 01:03:57,230
want to sure that's added to

1697
01:03:57,230 --> 01:03:58,920
the list somewhere or not.

1698
01:03:58,920 --> 01:03:59,326
We're actually an address.

1699
01:03:59,326 --> 01:04:01,726
Those issues, you know,

1700
01:04:03,970 --> 01:04:04,365
waterfront has very little in

1701
01:04:04,365 --> 01:04:05,320
terms of infrastructure for

1702
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,320
recreation. We just have we

1703
01:04:09,604 --> 01:04:10,304
have the but that's not a city

1704
01:04:10,304 --> 01:04:13,904
a project. I don't feel like

1705
01:04:14,242 --> 01:04:16,440
the parks plan. I did anything

1706
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,845
for the water from where this

1707
01:04:17,845 --> 01:04:18,546
huge population is being

1708
01:04:18,546 --> 01:04:21,546
planned. And the second thing

1709
01:04:22,851 --> 01:04:24,552
I wanted to mention was the

1710
01:04:24,552 --> 01:04:26,588
design elements of the grand,

1711
01:04:26,588 --> 01:04:28,656
which is very disappointing to

1712
01:04:28,656 --> 01:04:29,591
see. I'm kind of snuck up on

1713
01:04:29,591 --> 01:04:31,493
us. Didn't doesn't look

1714
01:04:31,493 --> 01:04:32,294
anything like the plans that

1715
01:04:32,294 --> 01:04:34,262
war. We saw a planning

1716
01:04:34,262 --> 01:04:36,662
commission side regional. It.

1717
01:04:36,898 --> 01:04:38,000
How does that even happen?

1718
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,601
It's really an eyesore. I hope

1719
01:04:39,601 --> 01:04:41,837
we don't do anything like

1720
01:04:41,837 --> 01:04:44,837
that. Again, because it didn't

1721
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,542
follow any of the elements

1722
01:04:46,542 --> 01:04:50,142
work plan for for a historic

1723
01:04:50,746 --> 01:04:53,146
or different districts, the

1724
01:04:54,350 --> 01:04:55,510
front okay. But the rest of it

1725
01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:58,510
is pretty horrifying. So just

1726
01:05:01,657 --> 01:05:02,358
much. Could I have Maureen

1727
01:05:02,358 --> 01:05:05,358
Brennan coming to the podium?

1728
01:05:15,905 --> 01:05:19,505
Please. Good and thank you for

1729
01:05:19,743 --> 01:05:22,743
this opportunity to speak to

1730
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:23,947
you. I'm member of the

1731
01:05:23,947 --> 01:05:26,347
Oversight Committee for the

1732
01:05:28,180 --> 01:05:29,653
Rodeo Hercules Fire District.

1733
01:05:29,653 --> 01:05:33,253
And it's a special parcel tax

1734
01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:37,227
that was voted in 2016. And

1735
01:05:37,227 --> 01:05:39,627
the community voted 78% for

1736
01:05:41,432 --> 01:05:42,990
this. And for me, I voted for

1737
01:05:42,990 --> 01:05:45,569
it because I wanted to see

1738
01:05:45,569 --> 01:05:48,569
our. A local fire district

1739
01:05:53,444 --> 01:05:54,144
remain independent. And

1740
01:05:54,144 --> 01:05:57,744
actually it is Last year. We

1741
01:05:58,783 --> 01:06:01,183
had 2.5 million of revenues

1742
01:06:01,585 --> 01:06:03,585
from sure 2.6 billion

1743
01:06:05,823 --> 01:06:06,524
estimated 2028 3.0 billion

1744
01:06:06,524 --> 01:06:09,524
dollars. That's nice chunk of

1745
01:06:10,610 --> 01:06:12,610
change. There's significant

1746
01:06:13,231 --> 01:06:14,990
discussion right now of being

1747
01:06:14,990 --> 01:06:16,499
expired. The con fire

1748
01:06:19,638 --> 01:06:21,390
organization. And it just

1749
01:06:21,390 --> 01:06:23,876
puzzles me because we have a

1750
01:06:23,876 --> 01:06:25,876
9.9 million dollar budget. 7.2

1751
01:06:27,412 --> 01:06:29,348
million in reserves. Special

1752
01:06:29,348 --> 01:06:31,748
districts. I've worked Rodeo

1753
01:06:32,418 --> 01:06:35,418
Sand. We keep 50% in reserves.

1754
01:06:38,230 --> 01:06:38,691
This is 70 percent plus in

1755
01:06:38,691 --> 01:06:41,691
reserve. So is working. Its

1756
01:06:44,863 --> 01:06:45,498
turned the corner. I think if

1757
01:06:45,498 --> 01:06:47,498
this discussion continues

1758
01:06:48,701 --> 01:06:51,101
about annexation. Important to

1759
01:06:52,438 --> 01:06:55,438
remember that this sum of

1760
01:06:56,943 --> 01:06:59,112
money. We'll go to the Con

1761
01:06:59,112 --> 01:06:59,879
fire organization. Any other

1762
01:06:59,879 --> 01:07:02,182
entity that's been annexed in

1763
01:07:02,182 --> 01:07:04,451
the past not have money. They

1764
01:07:04,451 --> 01:07:06,686
just come with whatever they

1765
01:07:06,686 --> 01:07:10,286
have. Where is going to be

1766
01:07:10,290 --> 01:07:12,592
giving them piggy bank here?

1767
01:07:12,592 --> 01:07:14,128
So I think it's very important

1768
01:07:14,128 --> 01:07:18,328
that if we if things come to

1769
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:20,534
annexation. That we invite a

1770
01:07:20,534 --> 01:07:24,710
public vote on this. It's far

1771
01:07:24,710 --> 01:07:27,740
too big of an issue for just 5

1772
01:07:27,740 --> 01:07:27,775
people. 5 board the special

1773
01:07:27,775 --> 01:07:31,375
district to be making such a

1774
01:07:32,446 --> 01:07:33,213
big decision I really would

1775
01:07:33,213 --> 01:07:36,213
recommend that that we have

1776
01:07:42,990 --> 01:07:45,593
some public vote on this and

1777
01:07:45,593 --> 01:07:48,593
I'll have a Tara. Shurmur

1778
01:07:55,869 --> 01:07:58,706
commit. Shire. This High? I'm

1779
01:07:58,706 --> 01:07:59,741
Tara Shai. Thank you. I'm

1780
01:07:59,741 --> 01:08:01,276
actually from rodeo. But I

1781
01:08:01,276 --> 01:08:03,378
wanted to talk about Red and

1782
01:08:03,378 --> 01:08:05,346
Hercules Fire district as

1783
01:08:05,346 --> 01:08:06,947
well. I to him on the

1784
01:08:06,947 --> 01:08:07,548
committee, but I'm speaking

1785
01:08:07,548 --> 01:08:10,548
more for myself and the

1786
01:08:12,421 --> 01:08:14,421
community. The annexation.

1787
01:08:14,556 --> 01:08:16,458
That's coming along as the

1788
01:08:16,458 --> 01:08:17,159
biggest thing coming to the

1789
01:08:17,159 --> 01:08:20,396
are hfd and it should be put

1790
01:08:20,396 --> 01:08:22,298
to a public vote and when the

1791
01:08:22,298 --> 01:08:24,298
communities of Erdogan

1792
01:08:24,433 --> 01:08:25,466
Hercules voted for board

1793
01:08:25,466 --> 01:08:28,370
members, they were not voting

1794
01:08:28,370 --> 01:08:30,206
on annexation issues. That's

1795
01:08:30,206 --> 01:08:31,273
why I believe that those 5

1796
01:08:31,273 --> 01:08:33,376
members should not have that

1797
01:08:33,376 --> 01:08:34,343
much power for this big of a

1798
01:08:34,343 --> 01:08:36,345
decision. And if there's

1799
01:08:36,345 --> 01:08:38,745
anything that the Hercules

1800
01:08:40,435 --> 01:08:40,697
City Council has input or

1801
01:08:40,697 --> 01:08:43,970
anything along those lines,

1802
01:08:44,786 --> 01:08:45,480
that's why I'm I'm approaching

1803
01:08:45,480 --> 01:08:46,322
you tonight to give you my

1804
01:08:46,322 --> 01:08:48,458
opinion on that. I think when

1805
01:08:48,458 --> 01:08:49,692
when people are voting for

1806
01:08:49,692 --> 01:08:52,920
those board members, they're

1807
01:08:52,529 --> 01:08:54,960
voting on representation to be

1808
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,496
fiscally responsible for the

1809
01:08:57,330 --> 01:08:58,435
district and that means

1810
01:08:58,435 --> 01:09:00,704
creating and following a

1811
01:09:00,704 --> 01:09:03,474
strategic plan and they have

1812
01:09:03,474 --> 01:09:04,775
done that with a 5 year plan.

1813
01:09:04,775 --> 01:09:08,975
But all of a sudden there's a

1814
01:09:09,446 --> 01:09:10,981
big emergency and a big rush

1815
01:09:10,981 --> 01:09:11,715
that all of a sudden we don't

1816
01:09:11,715 --> 01:09:13,817
have any money were throwing

1817
01:09:13,817 --> 01:09:15,419
up our hands. We need to annex

1818
01:09:15,419 --> 01:09:16,120
and this is supposed to be a 5

1819
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,355
year plan. So I think that

1820
01:09:18,355 --> 01:09:21,955
needs to be looked at. There

1821
01:09:26,163 --> 01:09:26,830
are options. The 2.6 million

1822
01:09:26,830 --> 01:09:29,230
from There's 7.2 million in

1823
01:09:33,571 --> 01:09:34,605
reserves. Last year left

1824
01:09:34,605 --> 01:09:36,605
Unspent $900,000. That would

1825
01:09:37,842 --> 01:09:40,842
just left unspent. There's the

1826
01:09:41,846 --> 01:09:42,713
rocks that's coming. We have 2

1827
01:09:42,713 --> 01:09:44,649
special assessments that are

1828
01:09:44,649 --> 01:09:46,583
helping fund the fire

1829
01:09:46,583 --> 01:09:47,752
district. We have a new grant

1830
01:09:47,752 --> 01:09:51,352
right writer with our hfd to

1831
01:09:51,823 --> 01:09:53,924
look for grant monies. They

1832
01:09:53,924 --> 01:09:56,695
can look to convert from

1833
01:09:56,695 --> 01:09:58,796
parcel to unit for more money

1834
01:09:58,796 --> 01:10:01,133
and we can tap the county for

1835
01:10:01,133 --> 01:10:02,200
p 66 tax dollars that are paid

1836
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,303
to the county to come back to

1837
01:10:05,303 --> 01:10:08,600
us. So there's lots of

1838
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:09,141
options. There's no rush. I

1839
01:10:09,141 --> 01:10:12,141
think there's plenty of time

1840
01:10:13,780 --> 01:10:13,879
to ask the people. Do we want

1841
01:10:13,879 --> 01:10:15,881
to go forward with an

1842
01:10:15,881 --> 01:10:19,481
annexation or do we want to

1843
01:10:20,190 --> 01:10:20,886
keep local fire department? So

1844
01:10:20,886 --> 01:10:21,553
if the Berkeley City Council

1845
01:10:21,553 --> 01:10:22,388
has anywhere to weigh in on

1846
01:10:22,388 --> 01:10:25,988
that, I hope you consider what

1847
01:10:26,392 --> 01:10:30,296
I've had to say. Also, if we

1848
01:10:30,296 --> 01:10:31,297
do annex the moneys, I don't

1849
01:10:31,297 --> 01:10:33,697
think that the public

1850
01:10:33,966 --> 01:10:36,102
understands that. When they

1851
01:10:36,102 --> 01:10:39,702
voted on our hfd, they voted

1852
01:10:39,839 --> 01:10:41,908
to support to support the fire

1853
01:10:41,908 --> 01:10:43,430
department. I think they're

1854
01:10:43,430 --> 01:10:46,430
assuming that if the fire

1855
01:10:47,180 --> 01:10:49,349
department folds into con fire

1856
01:10:49,349 --> 01:10:51,317
that the also fault. I don't

1857
01:10:51,317 --> 01:10:52,180
think that the general public

1858
01:10:52,180 --> 01:10:55,180
realizes that we're going to

1859
01:10:57,900 --> 01:10:57,758
be paying extra taxes that

1860
01:10:57,758 --> 01:11:00,758
areas, the con fire serves.

1861
01:11:00,894 --> 01:11:02,620
They don't pay just rodeo

1862
01:11:02,620 --> 01:11:03,397
Hercules. So if you could just

1863
01:11:03,397 --> 01:11:06,397
consider what I said, I'd

1864
01:11:09,203 --> 01:11:11,438
appreciate it. Thank you. It

1865
01:11:11,438 --> 01:11:12,373
will close. There are no other

1866
01:11:12,373 --> 01:11:15,373
thank you very much, Dan.

1867
01:11:17,310 --> 01:11:19,480
Will. Will go on item number

1868
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:20,181

MISTER Home. What else

1871
01:11:29,190 --> 01:11:31,190
nightmare? No announcements.

1872
01:11:31,292 --> 01:11:32,861
Just a reminder if we want to

1873
01:11:32,861 --> 01:11:35,861
follow the 2 step process for.

1874
01:11:38,466 --> 01:11:39,367
The agenda items that pool.

1875
01:11:39,367 --> 01:11:39,968

1877

just took Companies are coming

1945
01:14:05,184 --> 01:14:06,152
JUNE. 2nd, we have culture

1946
01:14:06,152 --> 01:14:08,287
festival. So so folks work the

1947
01:14:08,287 --> 01:14:11,887
Congress for that it did the

1948
01:14:11,957 --> 01:14:12,625
West. Meeting last week the

1949
01:14:12,625 --> 01:14:13,259
significant think they're I

1950
01:14:13,259 --> 01:14:15,962
think for residents to be

1951
01:14:15,962 --> 01:14:20,367
aware of is we pay a tax and

1952
01:14:20,367 --> 01:14:22,202
to property tax code. Years

1953
01:14:22,202 --> 01:14:23,403
there was a bus pendant like

1954
01:14:23,403 --> 01:14:24,938
bart train that would ever

1955
01:14:24,938 --> 01:14:26,506
town to take folks down to the

1956
01:14:26,506 --> 01:14:27,239
bar station West Cat with

1957
01:14:27,239 --> 01:14:29,442
their local bus service shared

1958
01:14:29,442 --> 01:14:32,145
by And, you know, took that

1959
01:14:32,145 --> 01:14:32,846
service over such a regular

1960
01:14:32,846 --> 01:14:33,614
with scant bus folks realize

1961
01:14:33,614 --> 01:14:36,316
But it's but it's paid for

1962
01:14:36,316 --> 01:14:36,950
with your tax dollars. Bart

1963
01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:39,219
has got itself financial

1964
01:14:39,219 --> 01:14:41,121
problems and so the decision

1965
01:14:41,121 --> 01:14:43,924
isn't made it much higher

1966
01:14:43,924 --> 01:14:45,793
level maybe have to be in

1967
01:14:45,793 --> 01:14:48,161
verse West local small bus

1968
01:14:48,161 --> 01:14:48,796
company for the full cost of

1969
01:14:48,796 --> 01:14:49,497
the services taking their

1970
01:14:49,497 --> 01:14:51,232
residents are paying for the

1971
01:14:51,232 --> 01:14:53,367
service down to the bart

1972
01:14:53,367 --> 01:14:55,303
station. But this still facing

1973
01:14:55,303 --> 01:14:57,572
tax. I'm not only there are

1974
01:14:57,572 --> 01:14:59,572
significant challenges with

1975
01:15:00,842 --> 01:15:01,441
this process of trying to

1976
01:15:01,441 --> 01:15:03,841
larger bus operators to

1977
01:15:04,312 --> 01:15:07,315
somehow merge into lot of us

1978
01:15:07,315 --> 01:15:08,516
operators good thing about

1979
01:15:08,516 --> 01:15:09,617
West can't that it would know

1980
01:15:09,617 --> 01:15:10,285
is that we do get service

1981
01:15:10,285 --> 01:15:11,586
regularly with the between

1982
01:15:11,586 --> 01:15:12,621
Minister town every hour

1983
01:15:12,621 --> 01:15:16,221
through town. We get that if

1984
01:15:16,524 --> 01:15:18,260
we merge into a larger

1985
01:15:18,260 --> 01:15:18,994
service, the challenges look

1986
01:15:18,994 --> 01:15:19,694
at the numbers in this and

1987
01:15:19,694 --> 01:15:22,697
that we should in each of us

1988
01:15:22,697 --> 01:15:23,365
with 3 hours and this is a

1989
01:15:23,365 --> 01:15:23,998
real challenge for us. It's

1990
01:15:23,998 --> 01:15:25,300
it's there. I sit on the

1991
01:15:25,300 --> 01:15:28,900
board, the boards in the best.

1992
01:15:29,672 --> 01:15:32,775
It can we voted to to to pose

1993
01:15:32,775 --> 01:15:33,408
the current language that's

1994
01:15:33,408 --> 01:15:34,676
being proposed at at the

1995
01:15:34,676 --> 01:15:37,446
Statehouse. I'm too. We would

1996
01:15:37,446 --> 01:15:38,179
be drafted into that. That

1997
01:15:38,179 --> 01:15:38,880
people should be aware of it.

1998
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:39,515
It's it's a very real thing.

1999
01:15:39,515 --> 01:15:42,515
We're not trying to scare

2000
01:15:43,385 --> 01:15:44,860
anyone about it. Do you know

2001
01:15:44,860 --> 01:15:46,255
Barvesten Richard are sinking

2002
01:15:46,255 --> 01:15:48,858
as a result coming out of

2003
01:15:48,858 --> 01:15:49,592
covid. So our pastor counter

2004
01:15:49,592 --> 01:15:50,626
sinking which the revenue from

2005
01:15:50,626 --> 01:15:51,727
the ticket box are also going

2006
01:15:51,727 --> 01:15:54,230
down. But we do have some

2007
01:15:54,230 --> 01:15:55,665
challenges over there looking

2008
01:15:55,665 --> 01:15:57,433
to look at how we address

2009
01:15:57,433 --> 01:15:58,368
service going forward because

2010
01:15:58,368 --> 01:15:59,680
there's less revenue so that,

2011
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,438
you know, we have to kind of

2012
01:16:02,438 --> 01:16:04,140
offset that with service.

2013
01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:04,841
We're realignments staff is in

2014
01:16:04,841 --> 01:16:06,609
the best they can with they

2015
01:16:06,609 --> 01:16:08,278
have. Folks should be aware

2016
01:16:08,278 --> 01:16:09,145
that and when the time is

2017
01:16:09,145 --> 01:16:10,980
right, we should all be

2018
01:16:10,980 --> 01:16:11,981
sticking out to our state,

2019
01:16:11,981 --> 01:16:13,283
simply imprisoned. That's

2020
01:16:13,283 --> 01:16:14,500
leaders about the importance

2021
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:15,850
of keeping local bus service.

2022
01:16:15,850 --> 01:16:18,850
There's 4 of us that work

2023
01:16:18,488 --> 01:16:21,488
together. I would say covid

2024
01:16:21,858 --> 01:16:22,526
laskos fire. It is love to

2025
01:16:22,526 --> 01:16:25,526
laugh. Thank you. Which is

2026
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,960
little more area Delta tried

2027
01:16:29,299 --> 01:16:31,301
out the county system up above

2028
01:16:31,301 --> 01:16:33,700
us. We try work this kind of

2029
01:16:33,700 --> 01:16:34,305
connection. We try work

2030
01:16:34,305 --> 01:16:35,500
together to partner are are

2031
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:38,142
you can take buses in between

2032
01:16:38,142 --> 01:16:38,842
can for seniors. You can hop

2033
01:16:38,842 --> 01:16:39,843
on and get a single right to

2034
01:16:39,843 --> 01:16:42,843
ready to go within these

2035
01:16:43,140 --> 01:16:43,848
areas. The service areas. It's

2036
01:16:43,848 --> 01:16:44,982
important thing too much time

2037
01:16:44,982 --> 01:16:47,251
here, which that's to be aware

2038
01:16:47,251 --> 01:16:47,919

01:19:21,877 --> 01:19:24,877

01:19:38,270 --> 01:19:41,231
other all agree on that? Yes,

2117
01:19:41,231 --> 01:19:42,931
okay. So I think we're all in

2118
01:19:42,931 --> 01:19:45,331
agreement with bringing next

2119
01:19:47,237 --> 01:19:48,505
next meeting. Any other items?

2120
01:19:48,505 --> 01:19:49,572
Well, I would like to ask the

2121
01:19:49,572 --> 01:19:53,172
council if we could host the

2122
01:19:53,176 --> 01:19:53,844
town hall meeting with Rodeo.

2123
01:19:53,844 --> 01:19:56,244
Hercules of Fire District,

2124
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:57,247
maybe bring in the chief Chief

2125
01:19:57,247 --> 01:19:57,948
Richard and maybe the

2126
01:19:57,948 --> 01:20:00,348
consultant, Michael to Spain.

2127
01:20:02,719 --> 01:20:03,420
So we can. Have it on air. So

2128
01:20:03,420 --> 01:20:04,989
majority of the residents of

2129
01:20:04,989 --> 01:20:07,925
her twins get to see and hear

2130
01:20:07,925 --> 01:20:08,592
what's going on with the with

2131
01:20:08,592 --> 01:20:11,592
the fire district with that

2132
01:20:15,666 --> 01:20:19,266
acceptable. So ask you to have

2133
01:20:19,537 --> 01:20:20,404
it become a cause. How does

2134
01:20:20,404 --> 01:20:22,730
that work? Just asking staff

2135
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:24,242
to contact our district 2

2136
01:20:24,242 --> 01:20:25,743
sponsor, a town hall meeting.

2137
01:20:25,743 --> 01:20:26,978
I think it has discussion

2138
01:20:26,978 --> 01:20:30,578
first and then it becomes a

2139
01:20:31,215 --> 01:20:32,490
the council. Then. They will

2140
01:20:32,490 --> 01:20:35,649
bring it back as a discussion

2141
01:20:36,254 --> 01:20:40,454
item. The next I but my rules

2142
01:20:40,625 --> 01:20:41,259
in the current not, that's I

2143
01:20:41,259 --> 01:20:42,560
was under the impression

2144
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,560
discussed So we'll have a

2145
01:20:48,767 --> 01:20:49,901
discussion item. Just for

2146
01:20:49,901 --> 01:20:51,803
clarification. Are you looking

2147
01:20:51,803 --> 01:20:53,638
for it to be a sea of Hercules

2148
01:20:53,638 --> 01:20:57,744
meeting or a re or a fire

2149
01:20:57,744 --> 01:20:59,377
district meeting? City heard

2150
01:20:59,377 --> 01:21:01,146
police would host. And that

2151
01:21:01,146 --> 01:21:02,130
way. Then we could fire Chief

2152
01:21:02,130 --> 01:21:04,249
Chief Richard and their

2153
01:21:04,249 --> 01:21:04,883
consultant Michael to Spain

2154
01:21:04,883 --> 01:21:06,284
that put together most of

2155
01:21:06,284 --> 01:21:09,284
their strategic plan and ask

2156
01:21:10,523 --> 01:21:12,923
questions. That will be

2157
01:21:13,826 --> 01:21:16,226
discussion. So. Discussion of

2158
01:21:22,668 --> 01:21:26,268
the We're all ok with that.

2159
01:21:27,540 --> 01:21:28,908
And if nothing I just want to

2160
01:21:28,908 --> 01:21:29,409
ask everybody memorial days

2161
01:21:29,409 --> 01:21:30,910
coming up on the

2162
01:21:30,910 --> 01:21:32,912
twenty-seventh to me. And

2163
01:21:32,912 --> 01:21:34,413
that's the day that we

2164
01:21:34,413 --> 01:21:35,810
memorialize all the family

2165
01:21:35,810 --> 01:21:36,683
members that served in the

2166
01:21:36,683 --> 01:21:39,683
military. The past. With that
