low 804 00:29:39,431 --> 00:29:41,431 income census tracts. 805 00:29:42,266 --> 00:29:42,934 Eligible projects MAY include 806 00:29:42,934 --> 00:29:45,334 new real estate construction 807

00:29:50,241 businesses and infrastructure 811 00:29:50,241 --> 00:29:50,675 or energy related projects 812 00:29:50,675 --> 00:29:52,675 among others. 813 00:29:53,978 --> 00:29:54,578 The program was designed to 814 00:29:54,578 --> 00:29:56,978 reward long term patient 815 00:29:57,314 --> 00:29:58,160 capital that generates 816 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:58,583 sustained economic growth, job 817 00:29:58,583 --> 00:30:00,583 creation and community 818 00:30:01,190 --> 00:30:01,519 revitalization in historically 819 00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:03,519 underserved areas. 820 00:30:05,623 --> 00:30:06,324 So you MAY recall that there's 821 00:30:06,324 --> 00:30:08,724 currently an opportunity zone 822 00:30:09,193 --> 00:30:11,263 within lodi and I'll just refer 823 00:30:11,263 --> 00:30:14,263 to this as census tract 4403 824 00:30:15,267 --> 00:30:15,867 for simplicity and this census 825 00:30:15,867 --> 00:30:18,436 tract is bordered by the 826 00:30:18,436 --> 00:30:21,436 railroad tracks on the west 827 00:30:23,701 --> 00:30:24,128 side that on the west side east 828 00:30:24,128 --> 00:30:24,361 the lodi avenue to the north 829 00:30:24,361 --> 00:30:26,477 kettleman road it can only link 830 00:30:26,477 --> 00:30:26,877 to the south and central avenue 831 00:30:26,877 --> 00:30:27,678 to the east. 832 00:30:27,678 --> 00:30:30,678 Today there has been no 833 00:30:30,681 --> 00:30:33,810 opportunities on investment in 834 00:30:33,985 --> 00:30:34,819 this census tract. 835 00:30:34,819 --> 00:30:37,819 >> so the program was supposed 836 00:30:38,590 --> 00:30:40,558 was originally scheduled to 837 00:30:40,558 --> 00:30:44,158 sunset later this year with the 838 00:30:44,362 --> 00:30:44,763 passage of the one big bill act 839 00:30:44,763 --> 00:30:45,530 in 2025. 840 00:30:45,530 --> 00:30:46,231 The program is now a permanent 841 00:30:46,231 --> 00:30:48,499 permanent part of the federal 842 00:30:48,499 --> 00:30:49,467 tax code. 843 00:30:49,467 --> 00:30:50,202 As part of this legislation a 844 00:30:50,202 --> 00:30:52,670 new round of opportunity zones. 845 00:30:52,670 --> 00:30:54,538 The census tract designations 846 00:30:54,538 --> 00:30:55,474 refer to it opportunity zones 847 00:30:55,474 --> 00:30:58,474 2.0 will be introduced so just 848 00:30:58,877 --> 00:30:59,677 a little bit of the process the 849 00:30:59,677 --> 00:31:03,114 states will have the ability to 850 00:31:03,114 --> 00:31:03,882 nominate new a new map send out 851 00:31:03,882 --> 00:31:06,184 to the treasury and then 852 00:31:06,184 --> 00:31:06,985 treasury certifies the 853 00:31:06,985 --> 00:31:09,754 nominations and the maps take 854 00:31:09,754 --> 00:31:10,540 effect JANUARY 1st of next 855 00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:12,540 year. 856 00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:14,659 The duration will remain at ten 857 00:31:14,659 --> 00:31:17,659 years and future updates will 858 00:31:17,929 --> 00:31:20,632 be every will be efreshed on 859 00:31:20,632 --> 00:31:21,660 on the match every ten years 860 00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:23,660 going forward. 861 00:31:25,203 --> 00:31:27,806 So with the there's new 862 00:31:27,806 --> 00:31:30,206 targeting criteria and the 863 00:31:30,742 --> 00:31:31,543 governors MAY designate up to 864 00:31:31,543 --> 00:31:31,977 25% of the state's eligible 865 00:31:31,977 --> 00:31:33,977 census tract. 866 00:31:36,915 --> 00:31:39,717 So for california that is 618% 867 00:31:39,717 --> 00:31:42,117 of the 2400 plus eligible 868 00:31:43,855 --> 00:31:44,656 census tracks to qualify they 869 00:31:44,656 --> 00:31:47,359 must meet a couple of test 870 00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:47,960 median family income below 70% 871 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,960 of the metro average or 872 00:31:50,962 --> 00:31:53,362 statewide average overty rate 873 00:31:55,133 --> 00:31:55,767 of 20% or greater plus a newly 874 00:31:55,767 --> 00:31:57,767 established median family 875 00:31:58,604 --> 00:31:59,238 income cap set at 125% of the 876 00:31:59,238 --> 00:32:01,506 applicable state or metro 877 00:32:01,506 --> 00:32:03,506 median. 878 00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:05,877 So with those new criteria we 879 00:32:05,877 --> 00:32:08,814 now have two opportunity zones 880 00:32:08,814 --> 00:32:09,281 that are eligible within the 881 00:32:09,281 --> 00:32:11,281 lodi community. 882 00:32:13,352 --> 00:32:14,320 And again I'll refer 45 or 2 883 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,320 and 44 or 3 which is the 884 00:32:19,658 --> 00:32:20,492 existing opportunity zone and 885 00:32:20,492 --> 00:32:23,492 and this new one actually 886 00:32:23,762 --> 00:32:24,620 covers a larger geographic 887 00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:26,620 area. 888 00:32:27,132 --> 00:32:27,966 Again, it starts at the 889 00:32:27,966 --> 00:32:30,966 railroad tracks then goes all 890 00:32:32,571 --> 00:32:33,372 the way east to guild and as 891 00:32:33,372 --> 00:32:35,874 far as rockford to the north 892 00:32:35,874 --> 00:32:37,874 then. 893 00:32:40,146 --> 00:32:42,715 And then it's on it's a lot of 894 00:32:42,715 --> 00:32:45,115 avenue to the south. 895 00:32:46,986 --> 00:32:47,719 So the state has identified 896 00:32:47,719 --> 00:32:50,622 certain criteria that you know, 897 00:32:50,622 --> 00:32:51,190 they like to see or local 898 00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:53,190 jurisdictions in their 899 00:32:54,593 --> 00:32:55,394 nomination and those things 900 00:32:55,394 --> 00:32:58,960 that the state is looking for 901 00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:58,930 is that these census tracks 902 00:32:58,930 --> 00:33:01,930 have a housing element size 903 00:33:02,801 --> 00:33:03,402 that they support the arena or 904 00:33:03,402 --> 00:33:05,802 you know, housing needs 905 00:33:06,605 --> 00:33:07,306 assessment goals that there's 906 00:33:07,306 --> 00:33:10,306 shovel ready sites as defined 907 00:33:10,443 --> 00:33:11,176 by the governor's office that 908 00:33:11,176 --> 00:33:13,576 they're located within existing 909 00:33:13,612 --> 00:33:14,413 tax increment financing 910 00:33:14,413 --> 00:33:17,413 districts that tracks that MAY 911 00:33:17,984 --> 00:33:18,817 support strategic sectors as 912 00:33:18,817 --> 00:33:21,817 identified by the state's jobs 913 00:33:22,754 --> 00:33:23,122 search california just as a 914 00:33:23,122 --> 00:33:25,122 blueprint. 915 00:33:25,891 --> 00:33:26,592 These include, for example, 916 00:33:26,592 --> 00:33:27,259 clean economy, life sciences, 917 00:33:27,259 --> 00:33:29,259 manufacturing, health care, 918 00:33:29,828 --> 00:33:30,529 housing, education and skilled 919 00:33:30,529 --> 00:33:32,929 workforce tourism and outdoor 920 00:33:33,398 --> 00:33:34,133 recreation to name a few. 921 00:33:34,133 --> 00:33:37,350 Now they're also looking for 922 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:37,770 census tracts that have 923 00:33:37,770 --> 00:33:38,437 committed public investment and 924 00:33:38,437 --> 00:33:40,873 that could be local, state r 925 00:33:40,873 --> 00:33:42,873 federal. 926 00:33:45,143 --> 00:33:48,743 >> so with that criteria we we 927 00:33:49,715 --> 00:33:50,416 recommended we brought this 928 00:33:50,416 --> 00:33:52,718 recommendation to the economic 929 00:33:52,718 --> 00:33:53,753 development ad hoc committee. 930 00:33:53,753 --> 00:33:57,353 And so our recommendation is to 931 00:33:57,657 --> 00:33:58,457 nominate the census track any 932 00:33:58,457 --> 00:34:00,959 name for 45 or 2 and the reason 933 00:34:00,959 --> 00:34:01,660 being is because this is a sent 934 00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:03,262 out of the two census tract 935 00:34:03,262 --> 00:34:03,929 eligible this is the one with 936 00:34:03,929 --> 00:34:04,229 the highest priority poverty 937 00:34:04,229 --> 00:34:06,229 rate. 938 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:07,733 It has a larger footprint which 939 00:34:07,733 --> 00:34:08,434 includes a downtown specific 940 00:34:08,434 --> 00:34:10,936 plan area and that's downtown 941 00:34:10,936 --> 00:34:12,936 downtown mixed rezoning. 942 00:34:14,406 --> 00:34:15,241 It includes the cherokee lane 943 00:34:15,241 --> 00:34:15,942 corridor or parts of it and 944 00:34:15,942 --> 00:34:18,378 that's mixed use corridor and 945 00:34:18,378 --> 00:34:22,447 as well as an area within the 946 00:34:22,447 --> 00:34:24,847 industrial area or zoning. 947 00:34:25,585 --> 00:34:26,251 In addition it has 29 housing 948 00:34:26,251 --> 00:34:28,921 element sites and so that's 949 00:34:28,921 --> 00:34:29,722 important for the state 950 00:34:29,722 --> 00:34:30,322 criteria and it obviously 951 00:34:30,322 --> 00:34:32,722 aligns with our economic 952 00:34:33,125 --> 00:34:33,926 development efforts. 953 00:34:33,926 --> 00:34:36,629 That's you know it also would 954 00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:37,463 benefit investment in 955 00:34:37,463 --> 00:34:39,863 businesses in and industry 956 00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:41,734 sectors and again it aligns 957 00:34:41,734 --> 00:34:44,203 with the california jobs first 958 00:34:44,203 --> 00:34:45,237 north san joaquin valley 959 00:34:45,237 --> 00:34:47,720 regional plan which is covers 960 00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:50,672 the three counties in the north 961 00:34:50,943 --> 00:34:51,744 valley as the next steps. 962 00:34:51,744 --> 00:34:54,744 There is no formal action 963 00:34:54,847 --> 00:34:55,548 required from council but we 964 00:34:55,548 --> 00:34:56,248 did want to bring it to your 965 00:34:56,248 --> 00:34:59,185 attention as this is going to 966 00:34:59,185 --> 00:35:01,987 be if if if not if low rise 967 00:35:01,987 --> 00:35:02,788 census track is nominated it 968 00:35:02,788 --> 00:35:03,890 will be here for the next ten 969 00:35:03,890 --> 00:35:05,890 years. 970 00:35:05,892 --> 00:35:09,395 And so they were prepared to 971 00:35:09,395 --> 00:35:12,650 submit to the state

do that. 998 00:35:58,478 --> 00:36:01,478 >> I think that's the wrong 999 00:36:01,514 --> 00:36:01,782 item which I really want to 1000 00:36:01,782 --> 00:36:02,810 win. 1001 00:36:02,810 --> 00:36:04,810 Okay. 1002 00:36:05,118 --> 00:36:07,821 Sorry if the presentation is it 1003 00:36:07,821 --> 00:36:08,154 yes I think this is the right 1004 00:36:08,154 --> 00:36:08,521 choice. 1005 00:36:08,521 --> 00:36:10,521 Thank you. 1006 00:36:11,424 --> 00:36:13,824 Just a couple questions. 1007 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:15,462 The tiff so we actually have to 1008 00:36:15,462 --> 00:36:15,995 establish two. 1009 00:36:15,995 --> 00:36:17,995 >> is that correct? 1010 00:36:18,932 --> 00:36:19,766 It's not a requirement but 1011 00:36:19,766 --> 00:36:20,299 that's one of the things that 1012 00:36:20,299 --> 00:36:22,299 would be favorable. 1013 00:36:22,669 --> 00:36:23,670 But that's something that in 1014 00:36:23,670 --> 00:36:26,670 the application that ask if 1015 00:36:27,874 --> 00:36:28,508 there's an intent so we can we 1016 00:36:28,508 --> 00:36:29,209 can indicate do we have to 1017 00:36:29,209 --> 00:36:31,244 indicate the boundaries of the 1018 00:36:31,244 --> 00:36:32,145 tip or would it be the entire 1019 00:36:32,145 --> 00:36:34,848 no, I think in a general sense 1020 00:36:34,848 --> 00:36:35,515 is identifying whether there's 1021 00:36:35,515 --> 00:36:38,515 interest to establish a tiff 1022 00:36:38,885 --> 00:36:39,552 and but then there's a longer 1023 00:36:39,552 --> 00:36:41,755 process for that because it 1024 00:36:41,755 --> 00:36:42,121 would involve multiple 1025 00:36:42,121 --> 00:36:42,989 agencies. 1026 00:36:42,989 --> 00:36:45,989 >> can you just for councils 1027 00:36:46,459 --> 00:36:47,160 benefit can you explain the 1028 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,894 tiff because that is something 1029 00:36:47,894 --> 00:36:50,864 that we would need to take a 1030 00:36:50,864 --> 00:36:51,464 council action on. 1031 00:36:51,464 --> 00:36:52,990 So so it's basically a 1032 00:36:52,990 --> 00:36:54,990 designated geographic area 1033 00:36:54,868 --> 00:36:55,402 where there's a tax ncrement 1034 00:36:55,402 --> 00:36:57,402 financing mechanism. 1035 00:36:59,500 --> 00:36:59,706 And so basically utilizing 1036 00:36:59,706 --> 00:37:02,609 those in future increments to 1037 00:37:02,609 --> 00:37:03,276 to fund to finance 1038 00:37:03,276 --> 00:37:05,276 infrastructure for example. 1039 00:37:06,513 --> 00:37:07,313 And so as at the very broad 1040 00:37:07,313 --> 00:37:07,981 sense but you do have to work 1041 00:37:07,981 --> 00:37:10,951 with the county because it's 1042 00:37:10,951 --> 00:37:13,954 going to impact the the future 1043 00:37:13,954 --> 00:37:14,988 tax of the properties. 1044 00:37:14,988 --> 00:37:15,655 And I do think it's critical 1045 00:37:15,655 --> 00:37:17,991 because again those areas in 1046 00:37:17,991 --> 00:37:18,725 the downtown plan that we've 1047 00:37:18,725 --> 00:37:21,428 been talking about that go over 1048 00:37:21,428 --> 00:37:22,229 the road tax infrastructure is 1049 00:37:22,229 --> 00:37:24,931 an opportunity and a need for 1050 00:37:24,931 --> 00:37:25,632 that area in order for these 1051 00:37:25,632 --> 00:37:27,632 opportunities this opportunity 1052 00:37:28,434 --> 00:37:29,436 zone to be seen favorably. 1053 00:37:29,436 --> 00:37:32,339 So there there will be that 1054 00:37:32,339 --> 00:37:35,242 need on letters of support 1055 00:37:35,242 --> 00:37:35,842 county board of supervisors can 1056 00:37:35,842 --> 00:37:36,176 you get that? 1057 00:37:36,176 --> 00:37:36,876 >> yeah. 1058 00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:39,680 So I've been working with the 1059 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,414 county economic development 1060 00:37:40,414 --> 00:37:43,414 association so right so they're 1061 00:37:44,284 --> 00:37:44,718 there obviously in support of 1062 00:37:44,718 --> 00:37:45,152 this so okay. 1063 00:37:45,152 --> 00:37:45,719 >> all right. 1064 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,719 Thank you. 1065 00:37:50,156 --> 00:37:51,257 Good work. 1066 00:37:51,257 --> 00:37:53,793 S we submit the nomination 1067 00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:54,394 form that goes to go bids and 1068 00:37:54,394 --> 00:37:55,595 their board correct. 1069 00:37:55,595 --> 00:37:57,330 They go to go bids and then 1070 00:37:57,330 --> 00:38:00,330 there's a public review period 1071 00:38:00,967 --> 00:38:01,602 and then the the governor's 1072 00:38:01,602 --> 00:38:04,200 office will then determine 1073 00:38:05,606 --> 00:38:06,407 which of the eligible nominated 1074 00:38:06,407 --> 00:38:07,107 census tracts are going to make 1075 00:38:07,107 --> 00:38:09,343 it on the list for california 1076

00:38:13,547 --> 00:38:14,114 because it's only 25% of the 1080 00:38:14,114 --> 00:38:16,114 eligible census tract. 1081 00:38:16,917 --> 00:38:19,653 So our thinking behind even 1082 00:38:19,653 --> 00:38:20,387 though we have to the one that 1083 00:38:20,387 --> 00:38:23,190 we think has a higher chance of 1084 00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:23,924 being selected by gold is the 1085 00:38:23,924 --> 00:38:27,127 one that has he greater reach 1086 00:38:27,127 --> 00:38:27,828 in terms of zoning and and 1087 00:38:27,828 --> 00:38:30,828 opportunities and in terms of 1088 00:38:31,231 -->

00:46:56,371 within the downtown force and 1342 00:46:56,371 --> 00:46:59,476 just not allowing them to park 1343 00:46:59,476 --> 00:46:59,976 mobile food trucks on school, 1344 00:46:59,976 --> 00:47:00,343 street or church. 1345 00:47:00,343 --> 00:47:02,343 Thank you. 1346 00:47:02,712 --> 00:47:05,712 That's not good customer craig 1347 00:47:05,881 --> 00:47:09,251 I'm I'm I'm going to accept 1348 00:47:09,251 --> 00:47:10,860 this as it's been proposed but 1349 00:47:10,860 --> 00:47:12,255 I've discussed with the city 1350 00:47:12,255 --> 00:47:13,890 manager my greater concern for 1351 00:47:13,890 --> 00:47:16,159 two areas which is basically we 1352 00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:16,759 define a conveyance as pretty 1353 00:47:16,759 --> 00:47:19,159 much anything except for 1354 00:47:19,963 --> 00:47:20,763 motorized food wagons and 1355 00:47:20,763 --> 00:47:21,397 vending means a sale of any 1356 00:47:21,397 --> 00:47:23,397 goods whereas merchandise 1357 00:47:25,167 --> 00:47:25,768 prepared, prepackaged and 1358 00:47:25,768 --> 00:47:27,768 prepared of foodstuffs. 1359 00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:28,771 So we still need to deal with 1360 00:47:28,771 --> 00:47:31,771 the illegal carts and there's 1361 00:47:32,208 --> 00:47:32,909 language in here that allows 1362 00:47:32,909 --> 00:47:35,945 for enforcement of this but I 1363 00:47:35,945 --> 00:47:36,613 am not sure that this is 1364 00:47:36,613 --> 00:47:37,460 comprehensive enough when it 1365 00:47:37,460 --> 00:47:37,681 comes to that. 1366 00:47:37,681 --> 00:47:40,810 So whether it's peddler's 1367 00:47:40,417 --> 00:47:41,117 license or whether it's another 1368 00:47:41,117 --> 00:47:43,987 section in the ordinance that 1369 00:47:43,987 --> 00:47:44,820 addresses that specifically I'm 1370 00:47:44,820 --> 00:47:45,622 going to say for the second 1371 00:47:45,622 --> 00:47:48,558 time I'm tired of reading shift 1372 00:47:48,558 --> 00:47:48,858 summaries not that I don't want 1373 00:47:48,858 --> 00:47:49,392 them. 1374 00:47:49,392 --> 00:47:51,895 I want to see them. 1375 00:47:51,895 --> 00:47:52,429 Captain can but where we're 1376 00:47:52,429 --> 00:47:54,429 having crowds gather 1377 00:47:55,665 --> 00:47:58,650 particularly in downtown and 1378 00:47:59,135 --> 00:48:01,135 showing colors demonstrating 1379 00:48:02,805 --> 00:48:03,873 the propensity for violence 1380 00:48:03,873 --> 00:48:06,510 just too large a crowd and on 1381 00:48:06,510 --> 00:48:07,344 top of that all our officers 1382 00:48:07,344 --> 00:48:10,344 are having to monitor that 1383 00:48:11,114 --> 00:48:11,948 situation during shift changes 1384 00:48:11,948 --> 00:48:14,348 and that's potentially putting 1385 00:48:15,419 --> 00:48:16,419 a lot of people in danger. 1386 00:48:16,419 --> 00:48:19,589 So however that needs to be 1387 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:20,356 addressed, I'd like to get an 1388 00:48:20,356 --> 00:48:23,459 update back to council on I 1389 00:48:23,459 --> 00:48:24,160 understand from from chief that 1390 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,796 we're looking at a task force 1391 00:48:26,796 --> 00:48:27,697 to deal with this issue. 1392 00:48:27,697 --> 00:48:30,697 I very much appreciate that. 1393 00:48:31,334 --> 00:48:32,168 I don't want this to appear to 1394 00:48:32,168 --> 00:48:32,869 those that are in legally 1395 00:48:32,869 --> 00:48:35,438 binding that this is for them. 1396 00:48:35,438 --> 00:48:36,139 This is not for them. 1397 00:48:36,139 --> 00:48:38,808 This is for those food trucks 1398 00:48:38,808
