[INAUDIBLE]

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,120
--the republic, one nation, under God, indivisible--

17
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,140
[INAUDIBLE]

18
00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:33,130
Thank you.

00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:37,490
We will go ahead and move on to agenda review

00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,500

28
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:04,900
without willful disruption by any person

30
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:09,220
The city has also adopted a decorum policy

31
00:03:09,220 --> 00:03:11,300
that governs public meetings, which

32
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:13,860
states that all city council meeting attendees shall refrain

33
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:17,100
from behavior that disrupts or that threatens to disrupt

34
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,100
city government operations.

35
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:21,980
This includes, but is not limited to harassment

36
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:24,880
and/or intimidation of city staff, elected officials,

37
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,700
or members of the public.

38
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,500
Please be advised that should a disruption

39
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,600
occur, a member of the city council

40
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,600
shall issue the person or persons an initial warning.

41
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Should a second disruption occur by the same person or persons,

42
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,500
a member of the city council shall ask the person or persons

43
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:40,380
to leave the meeting.

44
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:42,700
And Mayor and council [INAUDIBLE].

45
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:45,820
All right, thank you, city clerk.

46
00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:48,540
Go ahead and move on to the next section, which is disclosure

47
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:50,120
of ex parte communication.

48
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Anything from the council?

49
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,990
OK, seeing none, we'll go ahead and head over down here

50
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:57,410
for presentations.

51
00:03:57,410 --> 00:03:59,110
If the council can join me.

52
00:03:59,110 --> 00:04:01,110
First one.

53
00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:04,950

54
00:04:05,290 --> 00:04:08,290

We have the director of government and community affairs

56
00:04:11,590 --> 00:04:16,390

57
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:51,710
Not yet.

58
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:53,710
Not yet.

59
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:58,390
Whereas community health centers have

60
00:04:58,390 --> 00:05:01,370
been providing high quality, affordable, comprehensive,

61
00:05:01,370 --> 00:05:06,210
primary and preventive health care for more than 60 years,

62
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:08,930
positively impacting America's health care system.

63
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:10,930
And--

64
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:14,950
Whereas community health centers now serve more than 52 million

65
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:19,300
Americans at over 17,000 service delivery sites across

66
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,430
the country, providing care to individuals and families from

67
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:25,890
all walks of life, regardless of background, income,

68
00:05:25,890 --> 00:05:28,430
insurance status or ability to pay.

69
00:05:28,430 --> 00:05:30,430
And--

70
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:33,590
Whereas Golden Valley Health centers has served as a trusted

71
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:37,790
provider in California's Central Valley since 1972, today,

72
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:41,450
it operates 50 locations across Merced, San Joaquin,

73
00:05:41,450 --> 00:05:45,500
Stanislaus counties in delivering more than 786,000

74
00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:48,390
visits to over 161,000 patients annually.

75
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:51,370
And--

76
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:54,380
Whereas during national health center week,

77
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:57,400
we celebrate the legacy of America's community health

78
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,180
centers and their vital role in shaping the past, present,

79
00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:02,940
and future of America's health care system.

80
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:04,940
And--

81
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,100
Now, therefore, I Gary Singh, mayor of the city of Manteca,

82
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:12,400
on behalf of the city council, do hereby recognize August 2

83
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,600
through the 8th, 2026 as National Health Center Week.

84
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,280
I encourage all residents to learn

85
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,400
about the support and essential services

86
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
provided by Golden Valley Health centers

87
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,680
and other community health centers in our community.

88
00:06:34,922 --> 00:06:35,880
Would you like to step?

89
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Yes.

90
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,420
Hi.

91
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:40,740
My name is [INAUDIBLE].

92
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:43,640
I'm the center manager for Golden Valley Health Care Center

93
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,960
here in Manteca.

94
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680
We do have two locations, one for family medicine

95
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,970
at 302 Northgate Drive, which offers pediatrician and family

96
00:06:51,970 --> 00:06:53,170
med services.

97
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:56,210
And then we have an urgent care services

98
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:58,850
located at 250 Northgate Drive, where

99
00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:00,590
we offer urgent care services.

100
00:07:00,590 --> 00:07:03,290
We just extended our hours until 9:00 PM.

101
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:06,250
And we also offer same day sports

102
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:09,130
physicals for the kids who are playing sports this year.

103
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:11,730
So you guys can come and stop on by if you have children

104
00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:13,370
that need to have those done.

105
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:15,100
Also, I wanted to mention that we

106
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,410
did expand our PACE program for our elderly patients

107
00:07:18,410 --> 00:07:20,430
to the San Joaquin County area.

108
00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:25,230
So Manteca patients are also covered by PACE.

109
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:27,870
[APPLAUSE]

110
00:08:01,170 --> 00:08:04,410
That will bring us to item A.2, certificates of recognition

111
00:08:04,410 --> 00:08:08,410
presented to American Legion Auxiliary Girls State Conference

112
00:08:08,410 --> 00:08:09,750
participants.

113
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:15,150
Tonight, we have American Legion Auxiliary delegates to accept.

114
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:21,530
All right, so first one is Adriana Rattaro.

115
00:08:26,570 --> 00:08:28,570
Udyati Tewai.

116
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,100
Come on up.

117
00:08:42,274 --> 00:08:44,274
[SIDE CONVERSATION]

118
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:59,543
Do you want to come up too, Chris?

119
00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:08,700
All right, this is certificate of recognition

120
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:10,780
presented to Udyati Tewai.

121
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:13,740
The Manteca City Council proudly recognizes you

122
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:17,380
for being selected as Sierra High School's representative

123
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:21,600
to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Girls State

124
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,260
Conference.

125
00:09:22,260 --> 00:09:25,160
This prestigious selection reflects your leadership,

126
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,700
character, and dedication to civic involvement.

127
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,700
Congratulations on this outstanding achievement

128
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:36,260
and for representing your school and community with pride.

129
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:37,860
Go, Timberwolves.

130
00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:39,860
[APPLAUSE]

131
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:50,310
Did you want to say anything?

132
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:51,370
I knew you would.

133
00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:52,750
[LAUGHTER]

134
00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:54,750
There's nobody watching.

135
00:09:55,630 --> 00:09:58,630
And this is for Adriana.

136
00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:01,150
Thank you so much.

137
00:10:01,850 --> 00:10:04,470
Do you want to talk a little bit about the program

138
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:06,870
and what it is?

139
00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:10,950
So the American Legion Auxiliary has

140
00:10:10,950 --> 00:10:15,450
been sending girls to Girls State for the last 83 years,

141
00:10:15,450 --> 00:10:16,230
I believe.

142
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:19,630
And we have been able, through in Manteca,

143
00:10:19,630 --> 00:10:23,310
to send a girl from all five of our high schools.

144
00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:28,110
We do this total by charitable donations, which

145
00:10:28,270 --> 00:10:30,190
we work all year to raise.

146
00:10:30,190 --> 00:10:32,830
So it's a week long conference, where they

147
00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:34,650
learn about state government.

148
00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:40,500
They form cities, and city councils, and so on.

149
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:45,300
[APPLAUSE]

150
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:54,700
Wait, group picture, so one more.

151
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:07,150
[APPLAUSE]

152
00:11:20,453 --> 00:11:21,870
All right, mayor and council, that

153
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:24,750
will bring us to item A3, which is receive

154
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:28,310
a brief presentation regarding the Community Budget Engagement

155
00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:32,430
Initiative, including a public survey and upcoming workshops.

156
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:34,750
Tonight we have budget manager, Lana McBroom,

157
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:38,950
to present that brief presentation for you.

158
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:44,730
Good evening, mayor and council.

159
00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:47,840
Tonight, I'm introducing finance's new Community Budget

160
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Engagement Initiative, which includes an online survey

161
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,240
and follow up workshops.

162
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,480
We're gathering information for input before fiscal year

163
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,440
'28 recommendations are developed

164
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,760
so community priorities can be considered earlier

165
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,440
in the process.

166
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Responses will help us design workshops

167
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,440
around the budget topics and questions

168
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,960
that residents want to explore.

169
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120
This earlier, broader engagement supports transparency

170
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,720
and expands our public engagement practices.

171
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840
The survey asks which city services and priorities

172
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,840
matter most.

173
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,120
Sorry.

174
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,200
Where future resources could make the greatest difference

175
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,800
and how residents envision Manteca's future.

176
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,740
The survey is open through August 31.

177
00:12:38,740 --> 00:12:40,160
You can use the online link found

178
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,840
on the city of Manteca budget's page

179
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,810
or you can scan the QR code that is on the screen.

180
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:51,970
After the survey closes, staff will summarize the key themes

181
00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:53,650
and help shape September workshops

182
00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:56,130
and guide future council discussions.

183
00:12:56,130 --> 00:12:58,610
Results are one source of community input, not

184
00:12:58,610 --> 00:13:00,690
a final budget decision.

185
00:13:00,690 --> 00:13:02,970
Final priorities and appropriations

186
00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:06,330
remain subject to available resources, legal requirements

187
00:13:06,330 --> 00:13:08,970
and, of course, council action.

188
00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:11,530
We have some flyers on the back table.

189
00:13:11,530 --> 00:13:14,810
And you can also scan the QR code that is on the screen.

190
00:13:14,810 --> 00:13:17,630
We want to thank everyone for their participation.

191
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,890
And we look forward to continuing the conversation

192
00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:21,410
at upcoming workshops.

193
00:13:21,410 --> 00:13:23,100
Thank you.

194
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,110
Thank you.

195
00:13:24,110 --> 00:13:26,110
[APPLAUSE]

196
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:31,210
Thank you all for doing this, and also

197
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:36,100
getting this going for asking for community output.

198
00:13:37,490 --> 00:13:39,900
All right, with that, we'll go ahead

199
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:42,163
and move on to section B, which is public comments.

200
00:13:42,163 --> 00:13:44,330
Mayor, at this time, you may call for public comment

201
00:13:44,330 --> 00:13:47,330
for items not listed on the agenda.

202
00:13:47,330 --> 00:13:49,570
Via Zoom, webinar, or in person, public comment

203
00:13:49,570 --> 00:13:53,770
is limited to three minutes per person.

204
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,610
All right, let's start with Zoom.

205
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,100
I have attendees, but no hands raised.

206
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,390
OK, nobody on Zoom.

207
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:15,670
Do you have any comment cards?

208
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:20,250
The first comment card I have is Brad.

209
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:23,250
Brad, come on up, sir.

210
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,520
How's that?

211
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Good?

212
00:14:49,608 --> 00:14:50,400
Go ahead and start.

213
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Howdy, man.

214
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:52,780
Hello.

215
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:56,380
So what do we do here?

216
00:14:56,620 --> 00:15:00,160
Yeah, you have time and anything you would like to tell us.

217
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,680
I got to push a button?

218
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,980
Nope, just start talking.

219
00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:04,980
OK, terrific.

220
00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:07,180
Yeah, I just here-- basically I'll

221
00:15:07,180 --> 00:15:09,200
get to the nut in the shell.

222
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,100
I'm here to complain about the systemic pattern

223
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:16,900
of non-compliance with ADA violations, especially Title II.

224
00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:23,740
And I think it would be under Chapter 28, Section 35 1.51,

225
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,620
as well as Chapter 24, part 2 chapter--

226
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:39,780
actually, part 2 and section 11b 705 of the California Building

227
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:46,630
Code, as well as California Civil Code 54.

228
00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:50,250
And it's been a systemic problem with this city.

229
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:52,590
I've been here since 1973.

230
00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:55,230
And I watched the ADA grow up around me.

231
00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:59,850
And the noncompliance and the systemic pattern of--

232
00:15:59,850 --> 00:16:03,310
I don't know if you want to call it obfuscating, or deflecting,

233
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:06,310
or just noncompliance as you go down

234
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:11,710
the road doing a certain repavement projects and things.

235
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:14,330
But there is an ongoing pattern.

236
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:18,900
I've got a list of about 35 right here that I've done.

237
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,910
And I could do this seven days a week, 24/7,

238
00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:23,370
which I probably will be doing.

239
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:25,210
And I'll be filing formal grievances.

240
00:16:25,210 --> 00:16:27,470
I just wanted this on the public record

241
00:16:27,470 --> 00:16:30,610
because there could be a injunctive order issued,

242
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:32,830
possibly down the road.

243
00:16:32,830 --> 00:16:37,700
So I highly recommend the city get very active

244
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:41,270
and show proactive action, some issues taken

245
00:16:43,630 --> 00:16:46,550
care of immediately and specifically the golf

246
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:48,950
course, who violate my civil rights,

247
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:51,370
as well as the folks behind me back here.

248
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:54,270
If you could see them in kind of shortened wheelchairs.

249
00:16:54,270 --> 00:16:56,910
But anyways, it's not only me, it's

250
00:16:56,910 --> 00:16:59,230
the disabled community wide at large.

251
00:16:59,230 --> 00:17:02,170
Not me, it's the blind, and disabled, the hearing,

252
00:17:02,170 --> 00:17:03,510
whatever it may be.

253
00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:09,270
But absolutely, they need to so show some actionable results

254
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:11,230
on what they're going to do about the problems

255
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:13,630
that I've been bringing to the city.

256
00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:14,810
And there's more to come.

257
00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:17,210
A lot of it.

258
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:17,950
So

259
00:17:17,950 --> 00:17:19,450
I got about 48 seconds.

260
00:17:19,450 --> 00:17:22,569
I would like to mention that over here, for instance,

261
00:17:22,569 --> 00:17:27,369
on 2010, the ADA Title II Standard of Building

262
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:31,470
was implemented in March 15 of 2012.

263
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:36,910
And Northgate Commons is in direct violation

264
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:40,240
with the workout equipment because it's not mirroring

265
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,320
exactly like it is.

266
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,200
I go 4 miles each direction to work out at Woodward Park daily.

267
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,880
And I would recommend anybody within city council chambers

268
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,240
that's interested in my issue, I can be contacted and found

269
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,440
very easily through the City of Manteca or any other spot.

270
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,680
And that's about all I need to say.

271
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,500
And if anybody's got any questions, feel free to answer.

272
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:00,900
But there's time constraints.

273
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:03,220
So I know you guys got budget constraints too,

274
00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:06,120
but that's not relevant according to ADA.

275
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,800
Thank you.

276
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,800
Thank you, sir.

277
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,280
The next public comment card I have is Darryl.

278
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,920
I don't know if I can do this very fast either.

279
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,120
I totally support what he's referring to.

280
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Anyway, I got some work for the City of Manteca

281
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,250
on behalf of Union Pacific Railroad and particularly

282
00:18:36,250 --> 00:18:37,430
their police department.

283
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:41,250
And I've talked to officers of our department.

284
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:46,890
And we'd very much like you guys to trim the oleander bushes

285
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:52,190
over there off of Manteca Avenue and Yosemite Avenue

286
00:18:52,190 --> 00:18:55,100
over there at the railroad crossings, which

287
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:56,610
is city property.

288
00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:59,410
And the thing I want to bring out

289
00:18:59,410 --> 00:19:04,170
is they have to be able to see down at the Center Street

290
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:07,490
crossing when they do their patrols.

291
00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:09,690
And I wanted to mention, too, that there's

292
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:13,770
a sidewalk that's broken that the city is not fixed.

293
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:17,370
It's about 25 feet to the crossing.

294
00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:20,650
I have a real problem on my scooter

295
00:19:20,650 --> 00:19:21,990
trying to dump over that way.

296
00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:27,170
But sometimes I have to get over for people coming my direction

297
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:30,100
and trying to watch the traffic, the trains,

298
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,170
and get over for everybody.

299
00:19:32,170 --> 00:19:35,810
And it should have been fixed a long time ago.

300
00:19:35,810 --> 00:19:41,810
But anyway, I'm sure that we'll get the proper cooperation

301
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,450
on that, if you guys would.

302
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:49,850
The next is noise ordinance regarding motels and hotels.

303
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:56,130
And we've had a problem with one of the guys

304
00:19:56,130 --> 00:20:01,370
out there at the inn motel, actually, my neighbor in room

305
00:20:01,370 --> 00:20:02,610
11.

306
00:20:02,610 --> 00:20:05,130
Anyway, I looked up the city ordinance

307
00:20:05,130 --> 00:20:06,950
because when I first moved there,

308
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:12,500
we had a situation that the rules of the place

309
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:16,530
was on the city-- on the ordinance on noise.

310
00:20:16,530 --> 00:20:22,330
You couldn't run your TV from 10 o'clock at night till, I think,

311
00:20:22,330 --> 00:20:25,930
it's 8 o'clock in the morning, currently.

312
00:20:26,530 --> 00:20:28,930
Anyway, that was put in.

313
00:20:28,930 --> 00:20:34,330
It wasn't a rule that the park outfit had

314
00:20:35,380 --> 00:20:37,600
or the motel management had.

315
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,820
This is actually Manteca city law.

316
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:48,200
I don't have the exact update on what the current thing is.

317
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,530
What I'd like for you guys to do is pass an ordinance with that

318
00:20:55,530 --> 00:20:57,220
that if somebody is going to use either a television

319
00:20:57,220 --> 00:21:02,760
set or a radio, that they either have to use after 10 o'clock,

320
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,780
that they have to use either a plug-in headphones.

321
00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:13,380
And that they have these other wireless ones now on Bluetooth,

322
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:16,240
if you have the TV that will operate off that.

323
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,220
Most of the new ones do.

324
00:21:18,220 --> 00:21:22,900
That way, if a person does run their TV all night

325
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:27,700
or whatever the other person don't hear it.

326
00:21:28,140 --> 00:21:33,630
Reason I mentioned that was that that place was built in 1929.

327
00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:34,130
Sir.

328
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:36,130
[INAUDIBLE] no soundproofing?

329
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:38,330
Yes, sir.

330
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:40,710
Sir, you're three minutes,

331
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:43,270
And I had some other safety--

332
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:45,270
Thanks.

333
00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:54,890
The next public comment card I have is Mike.

334
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:07,630
Good evening.

335
00:22:07,630 --> 00:22:08,950
My name is Mike DeAnda.

336
00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:12,910
I'm the senior business rep for Operating Engineers Local 3.

337
00:22:12,910 --> 00:22:17,190
As you know, labor contract negotiations have stalled.

338
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:18,990
This year's classification comp study

339
00:22:18,990 --> 00:22:22,110
identified many classifications well below market

340
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:24,550
due to the subpar wages given in the past

341
00:22:24,550 --> 00:22:26,470
and takeaways the city asked the employees

342
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:31,800
to sacrifice due to their poor fiscal position.

343
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,300
In comparison to other similar cities,

344
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,548
the city needs to bring their wages up to market

345
00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:37,840
and structure these increases so they don't fall behind

346
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,260
during the duration of this contract.

347
00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:42,280
Without a fare increase, many of our members

348
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,800
salaries will fall behind the market

349
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,960
this year because the proposed three-year increase structure

350
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,400
does not account for wage increases already being

351
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,360
paid by the comparable agencies and the current inflation

352
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:55,360
numbers.

353
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,440
Again, the current offer has a structure

354
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,920
that will ensure the workers, their salaries

355
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,200
won't fall behind, as they have in the last 10 years,

356
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,760
due to the COLAs that were well below the CPI numbers.

357
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,380
Currently, the city has proposed increases starting at 2%.

358
00:23:11,380 --> 00:23:14,800
Again, well below the inflation rate.

359
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,480
Meanwhile, management was given raises up to or above 20%.

360
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,560
We want the same method of the wage increases management

361
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,920
recently received-- increase the low end of the wages being

362
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,800
offered to at least match the current inflation rate.

363
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,640
No percentage cap in each year and front load

364
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,640
the wages in year one.

365
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,360
If no changes are made, our members and your employees

366
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,920
will be performing their same essential duties with less

367
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,880
spending power than before.

368
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,640
This will or may force the skilled workforce out

369
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,520
of their jobs, which will reflect negatively on the city.

370
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,920
Back in 2008 and the years to follow,

371
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,920
the current negotiations--

372
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,000
back in 2008 and the years to follow

373
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,840
showed significant losses and wages to the employees.

374
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,120
And the message I want to get today

375
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:14,860
is the current negotiations is not about just negotiations.

376
00:24:14,860 --> 00:24:17,720
It's about the past increases that were below market

377
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,200
and lacked increases with no raises.

378
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,440
During the 2008 recession, after year one

379
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,680
of the contract, which was 4% a year,

380
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,850
the employees were asked by the city

381
00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:32,750
to sacrifice three years of wages totaling 12%.

382
00:24:32,750 --> 00:24:34,690
This also included furloughs.

383
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:37,300
The city stated they would make up these cuts,

384
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:39,290
but they were forgotten and never happened.

385
00:24:39,290 --> 00:24:41,570
So this is the history we want you to understand what

386
00:24:41,570 --> 00:24:43,970
this current negotiations is.

387
00:24:45,370 --> 00:24:48,900
The employees request to catch up and stay caught up

388
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,370
during the duration of this proposed contract.

389
00:24:51,370 --> 00:24:55,450
You have the opportunity today to make sure these workers who

390
00:24:55,450 --> 00:24:57,610
have been pushed aside for too long,

391
00:24:57,610 --> 00:24:59,530
receive the respect they deserve.

392
00:24:59,530 --> 00:25:01,500
These workers have done their part

393
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:05,210
to create a stronger future for the city and its citizens.

394
00:25:05,210 --> 00:25:08,450
And we now respectfully request you do the same.

395
00:25:08,450 --> 00:25:10,450
[APPLAUSE]

396
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:24,450
The next public comment card we have is Troy.

397
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:36,400
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, council members.

398
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,320
My name is Troy Stine.

399
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,737
I am the CEO and founder of Stop Human Trafficking,

400
00:25:40,737 --> 00:25:42,820
an organization that serves right here in Northern

401
00:25:42,820 --> 00:25:44,820
California and tries to eradicate

402
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:48,420
human trafficking of every kind, including labor trafficking, sex

403
00:25:48,420 --> 00:25:52,200
trafficking, organ trafficking, and benefits trafficking.

404
00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:54,460
One in six.

405
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:58,000
One in six teenagers, stats will tell us,

406
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,180
are currently being exploited online, one in six.

407
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:04,860
The trauma and the pain, the relationship

408
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:09,140
and family problems that awaits them if it is not interrupted

409
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:10,820
is vast.

410
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:13,540
Not to mention a lot of tears.

411
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:16,600
I've served for many years in various capacities

412
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,440
in the fight against human trafficking,

413
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,580
a lot of which was focused on the restoration

414
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,220
of the victimized.

415
00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:24,900
I heard the stories.

416
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:27,940
I saw the agony and the anguish they

417
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:30,940
experienced and certainly the tears.

418
00:26:31,460 --> 00:26:34,400
In May of 2025, just a little over a year ago,

419
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,740
I launched stop human trafficking because we must

420
00:26:37,740 --> 00:26:41,420
alert our citizens and train our professionals to recognize

421
00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:45,220
the flags, the signs, and the tactics of human trafficking

422
00:26:45,220 --> 00:26:49,580
and exploitation before another young person is exploited

423
00:26:49,580 --> 00:26:51,780
or, God forbid, even trafficked.

424
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:54,300
Recently, right here in Manteca, I was able to speak--

425
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,200
we've currently done over 50 town hall meetings

426
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,400
and presentations in just the last year,

427
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,940
with distributing over 10,000 resources and worked with a lot

428
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:05,600
of various community agencies.

429
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,480
I was at the Thomas Toy Center.

430
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,745
There was just about 31 kids.

431
00:27:07,745 --> 00:27:09,120
There wasn't a lot of kids there.

432
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,500
But at the end of that presentation called

433
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:14,140
Teen Empowerment Online Safety Strategies,

434
00:27:14,140 --> 00:27:16,308
it was discovered that four young people were

435
00:27:16,308 --> 00:27:18,100
being exploited online and they didn't even

436
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:24,470
know that was happening to them until they were taught about it.

437
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:26,470
And the tears.

438
00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:30,590
We want freedom for all young people, which is why I'm here,

439
00:27:30,590 --> 00:27:34,110
today, promoting an awareness event that we are hosting right

440
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:37,830
here in Manteca on Saturday, November the 7th.

441
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:41,250
It will be held at the Library Park, starting there.

442
00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:42,870
It's called the Freedom Walk.

443
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:45,790
And I am asking for your support and for you

444
00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:48,750
to help me get the word out for this powerful community

445
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:52,310
awareness event, where together we will walk one mile.

446
00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:55,810
And we will share signs, homemade, and so forth,

447
00:27:55,810 --> 00:27:59,310
not in protest but in awareness, that human trafficking is taking

448
00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:01,130
place right here at home.

449
00:28:01,130 --> 00:28:06,350
We must, get the word out and we must support our community.

450
00:28:06,350 --> 00:28:09,170
While we serve all 48 counties in Northern California,

451
00:28:09,170 --> 00:28:09,930
I live here.

452
00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:11,750
I've lived here for about 18 years.

453
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:14,590
My four daughters live here with their husbands and my eight

454
00:28:14,590 --> 00:28:15,690
grandchildren.

455
00:28:15,690 --> 00:28:19,630
And it is imperative to me that we stop human trafficking.

456
00:28:19,630 --> 00:28:22,710
I'm going to present to you, in just a moment, a folder that

457
00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:24,865
has some information, as well as a flyer in it.

458
00:28:24,865 --> 00:28:26,240
And as I present this to you, I'm

459
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,370
also going to give you a little jar.

460
00:28:28,370 --> 00:28:29,620
I've been a Christian for a long time.

461
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,780
The Bible says that God stores our tears in a jar,

462
00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:34,640
and I would like that jar for these young people to be empty.

463
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,840
Thank you.

464
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840
[APPLAUSE]

465
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:48,980
Thank you sir.

466
00:28:48,980 --> 00:28:53,500
And yes, we definitely will help promote the event.

467
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:56,280
And we would love for human trafficking

468
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880
to stop, especially in our city.

469
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,920
The next public comment card I have is Jennifer.

470
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Hello, I'm back.

471
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,900
Good afternoon or evening, I should say.

472
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:17,260
My name is Jennifer Greenwood.

473
00:29:17,260 --> 00:29:20,480
I am a resident of Manteca, as well as the city employee

474
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,240
of more than 21 years.

475
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,840
And I'm currently the president of the Manteca Technical Support

476
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,880
Services Association or as we know, MTSSA.

477
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,860
I'm here tonight as a spokesperson for our membership,

478
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:35,500
if I can get them to please stand.

479
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,540
Not on behalf of myself.

480
00:29:37,540 --> 00:29:40,120
I am one vote, just like every other member.

481
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,400
MTSSA represents a wide range of positions in every department

482
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,680
in the city.

483
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,680
Our jobs may be different, but our members

484
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,140
are united in their concerns about wages, recruitment,

485
00:29:51,140 --> 00:29:54,400
retention, and the future of our workforce.

486
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,800
Before negotiations began, we asked our membership

487
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,600
to submit their priorities.

488
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,660
They were more vocal than they have been in previous years.

489
00:30:01,660 --> 00:30:04,680
And from that process came 19 proposals.

490
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,160
And getting our membership heard was a priority.

491
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,760
MTSSA voted down our city's proposal in May.

492
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,560
The primary concern was that the proposed 2% to 7% increases

493
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,130
do not provide a COLA equally across the board.

494
00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:23,490
Some positions would receive a 2% per year.

495
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:26,490
Most positions would be brought to median market over three

496
00:30:26,490 --> 00:30:28,650
years but without a COLA.

497
00:30:28,650 --> 00:30:31,410
And seven positions currently representing four employees

498
00:30:31,410 --> 00:30:33,370
would not reach full median.

499
00:30:33,370 --> 00:30:34,970
That means three years from now, we

500
00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:36,890
could be right back where we started,

501
00:30:36,890 --> 00:30:39,690
falling behind the market without a true cost of living

502
00:30:39,690 --> 00:30:40,850
adjustment.

503
00:30:40,850 --> 00:30:43,250
Inflation is currently approximately 3.8%,

504
00:30:44,530 --> 00:30:47,610
while many of the cities we compete with for employees

505
00:30:47,610 --> 00:30:49,970
are providing 3% to 4% COLAs.

506
00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:54,900
The Gallagher report itself recognized that its market

507
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,690
data would no longer accurately reflect those changes as of July

508
00:30:57,690 --> 00:30:59,690
1, 2026.

509
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:03,850
I also want to clarify our total compensation.

510
00:31:03,850 --> 00:31:07,450
MTSSA does not receive certification pay

511
00:31:07,570 --> 00:31:08,890
or an annual stipend.

512
00:31:08,890 --> 00:31:10,890
And we did not get a reduction in the percentage

513
00:31:10,890 --> 00:31:13,450
of what we contribute to our PERS retirement.

514
00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:15,330
We do receive wellness hours, which

515
00:31:15,330 --> 00:31:18,410
were provided in lieu of additional personal income

516
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,410
in previous contract.

517
00:31:20,750 --> 00:31:22,500
We are grateful to be in the upper echelon

518
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:24,860
when it comes to benefits, but those benefits

519
00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:27,200
were factored in into the compensation

520
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,900
offer from the city.

521
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,700
It was recently reported that five of the seven bargaining

522
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:32,980
units have signed.

523
00:31:32,980 --> 00:31:34,700
The other side of the story is that two

524
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,100
of the units that have not signed

525
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:40,620
represent more than 200 employees or over 40%

526
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:43,200
of the city's full time workforce.

527
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,420
And I think it needs--

528
00:31:44,420 --> 00:31:46,980
we need to be honest about the larger picture.

529
00:31:46,980 --> 00:31:50,600
And I'm quoting you cannot substantially increase

530
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,580
compensation at the top, build out administration,

531
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:56,180
and repeatedly ask residents to pay more,

532
00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:59,300
then suddenly preach fiscal restraint when the employees

533
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,500
keeping the city running asked to be valued.

534
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:06,700
MTSSA is not asking for proverbial key

535
00:32:06,980 --> 00:32:09,380
to the municipal cash box.

536
00:32:09,380 --> 00:32:13,920
Our current counter proposal is simple-- a 1% COLA each year,

537
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,240
totaling 3% over the next three years.

538
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,300
Equaling for our membership and bringing those seven positions

539
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:21,380
to full meeting, which is, frankly, I

540
00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:25,400
do not believe 1% is enough and, we believe, a fair compromise.

541
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,000
I'll finish up there.

542
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,420
I think we got the point.

543
00:32:27,420 --> 00:32:28,393
Thank you.

544
00:32:28,393 --> 00:32:30,393
[APPLAUSE]

545
00:32:39,260 --> 00:32:43,460
The last card I have is [INAUDIBLE].

546
00:32:49,660 --> 00:32:51,200
Good evening, council.

547
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Thank you for the opportunity.

548
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:58,900
I keep hearing that schools are not

549
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:00,880
the responsibility of the city.

550
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,200
It's only the MUSD.

551
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,600
But I want to clarify that a misinformation is

552
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,600
being spread so much that--

553
00:33:10,540 --> 00:33:13,200
let's discuss about the facts.

554
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,800
The school district builds school,

555
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,750
but the sites to be provided, adequate sites

556
00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:22,950
lies with the responsibility of the city.

557
00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:26,950
We treat Manteca general plan as a bible.

558
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:31,590
And there are quite a few goals which

559
00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:36,990
says to provide adequate site for the neighborhood growth.

560
00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:42,310
And in two decades this has been not accomplished,

561
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:44,750
though it's there in the bible.

562
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:49,910
So let me read a couple of them which are there

563
00:33:49,910 --> 00:33:52,910
in the Manteca general plan.

564
00:34:01,590 --> 00:34:05,790
Yeah, so the goal is community design 4.7.

565
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:12,230
Each neighborhood shall include a distinct center

566
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:14,610
such as an elementary school.

567
00:34:14,610 --> 00:34:18,960
I repeat, such as an elementary school, neighborhood parks,

568
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,800
and/or mixed use commercial area within a reasonable walking

569
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,880
distance of the homes, approximately one half mile.

570
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:32,340
So why is this not a walk to school?

571
00:34:32,340 --> 00:34:38,840
I hear from the council, there is no walk to school at all.

572
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600
But the Manteca general plan, I don't know when it was written.

573
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,159
And there are a couple of other goals also.

574
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,920
The goal land use 7, provide adequate land for development

575
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:56,320
of public and quasi public uses, including parks, schools,

576
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,000
and community facilities to support existing

577
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680
and new development and the community needs.

578
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,280
These goals are never followed for the two decades.

579
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,480
And residents are thrown under the bus.

580
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,640
Kids future.

581
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,160
They are commuting three to four hours for a commute to school

582
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,000
and they are being misinformed that city doesn't

583
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
have any responsibility.

584
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,760
Please read through the Manteca general plan

585
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,400
and implement infrastructure first.

586
00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:37,760
Infrastructure is not only about roads,

587
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,560
it about schools, libraries, fire station, police station,

588
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:51,000
and everything that is needed for the growth and the existing

589
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,940
facility.

590
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:53,940
Thank you.

591
00:35:55,420 --> 00:35:57,420
[APPLAUSE]

592
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,000
That's all the cards that have been

593
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,720
submitted for public comment.

594
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:06,840
OK, anybody else would like to speak on item

595
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,840
that's not on the agenda?

596
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,680
Come on up, sir.

597
00:36:21,970 --> 00:36:23,970
Make this short.

598
00:36:29,130 --> 00:36:30,470
My name is Frank Granelas.

599
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:32,810
I'm a resident of District 1.

600
00:36:32,810 --> 00:36:36,230
First and foremost, I'd like to give these individuals here,

601
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:38,490
men and women, my empathy.

602
00:36:38,490 --> 00:36:42,450
I know what it is to grind every single day to work for a city

603
00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:43,830
and not be appreciated.

604
00:36:43,830 --> 00:36:45,770
Sometimes we even get hurt.

605
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:46,910
Thank you for your service.

606
00:36:46,910 --> 00:36:50,450
From the police, the fire department, the people that

607
00:36:50,450 --> 00:36:53,930
clean the streets, the garbage men, every single one of you.

608
00:36:53,930 --> 00:36:56,330
Never compromise your value.

609
00:36:56,610 --> 00:36:59,970
You bring substance and value to this community.

610
00:36:59,970 --> 00:37:02,850
You are the backbone of this community.

611
00:37:02,850 --> 00:37:04,850
[APPLAUSE]

612
00:37:09,570 --> 00:37:16,100
Second of all, I'd like to just speak about the Manteca Arch.

613
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:18,820
Stay with me because I'm going to go somewhere with this.

614
00:37:18,820 --> 00:37:21,380
This arch that we have on Main Street

615
00:37:21,380 --> 00:37:24,140
was approved by the city of Manteca, the city

616
00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:27,140
manager, and the city council.

617
00:37:27,460 --> 00:37:30,460
It started in September of 2025.

618
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:34,380
Somebody might ask, well, who paid for that.

619
00:37:34,380 --> 00:37:37,380
Over $300,000 came from the ARPA,

620
00:37:38,140 --> 00:37:41,540
which is the American Rescue Plan Act,

621
00:37:41,540 --> 00:37:45,100
which is government funded, which means it was taxpayer

622
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:47,200
funded.

623
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,220
Another $300,000 came from the City General Fund,

624
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,520
which is also taxpayers' money.

625
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,380
So we paid for that arch.

626
00:38:03,380 --> 00:38:08,940
In closing, if we can afford to put an arch that cost over

627
00:38:08,940 --> 00:38:12,820
$600,000, then we can afford to pay these individuals what they

628
00:38:12,820 --> 00:38:14,466
are worth.

629
00:38:14,466 --> 00:38:16,466
[APPLAUSE]

630
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:26,140
In closing, I am not complaining, just

631
00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:28,540
simply making an observation.

632
00:38:28,595 --> 00:38:29,720
Thank you for your service.

633
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,620
I appreciate every single one of you.

634
00:38:31,620 --> 00:38:33,237
Thank you.

635
00:38:33,237 --> 00:38:35,237
[APPLAUSE]

636
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:50,100
Anyone else like to speak on an item that is not on the agenda?

637
00:38:53,200 --> 00:39:00,820
OK, seeing none, we'll go ahead and move on to the next section.

638
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:11,950
All right, with that, we'll go ahead and go to consent items.

639
00:39:11,950 --> 00:39:14,695
We'll wait for room to clear.

640
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,560
All right, we're going to consent items.

641
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,560
Charlie Gina.

642
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,480
C.15.

643
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,800
OK, David and Mike.

644
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,120
C.3, C.12, C.15.

645
00:40:28,792 --> 00:40:31,192
C.3, C.12, and C.15.

646
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,960
All right, and I had C.15 also.

647
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,320
With that, I can entertain a motion for all items not pulled.

648
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,517
So moved.

649
00:40:46,517 --> 00:40:48,600
I have a motion from council member Breitenbucher.

650
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,700
A second from Council Member Halford.

651
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:52,800
All in favor, say aye.

652
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,180
Aye.

653
00:40:53,180 --> 00:40:53,840
Opposed?

654
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,840
Motion carries 5-0.

655
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,180
Mayor, can I get clarification that you also pulled C.15?

656
00:40:59,180 --> 00:40:59,700
Yeah.

657
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:00,900
That's the only one you pulled?

658
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:01,400
Yeah.

659
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,400
C.3.

660
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,520
All right, C.3 adopt a resolution accepting--

661
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,640
Mayor, we also had a member of the public pull C.6

662
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,320
Oh, OK.

663
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Go ahead and add that on there.

664
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,600
C.6.

665
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:27,440
Do we need to redo the motion or are you good?

666
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,120
As long as the maker of the motion

667
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,600
is comfortable with C.6 being pulled as well, no need.

668
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,160
OK with that, Dave?

669
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,160
C.6?

670
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:39,700
You made the motion.

671
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:40,200
Yeah.

672
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,180
And the second is good?

673
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,180
All right.

674
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:45,180
C.6 goes ahead.

675
00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:49,320
C3, adopt a resolution accepting the donation

676
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,120
of one refurbished 8 by 40 insulated dog kennel container

677
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,600
from Vault, Co.

678
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,660
for use of the city's unsheltered emergency center

679
00:41:58,660 --> 00:42:00,520
and authorize the city manager or designee

680
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,840
to execute agreement in all necessary documents

681
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,450
to accept the donation.

682
00:42:04,450 --> 00:42:07,210
Tonight, we have Homeless and Housing Services Manager,

683
00:42:07,210 --> 00:42:09,210
Vielka Guarascio.

684
00:42:12,810 --> 00:42:13,350
Hi, there.

685
00:42:13,350 --> 00:42:15,250
Good evening, Mayor, Council.

686
00:42:15,250 --> 00:42:18,500
Vielka Guarascio, Homeless and Housing Services Manager.

687
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:21,150
I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

688
00:42:21,150 --> 00:42:23,490
But before, I want to just take this time

689
00:42:23,490 --> 00:42:28,730
and thank Vault, Co. as well as Jill for the generous donation

690
00:42:28,730 --> 00:42:31,450
of the dog kennel for our unsheltered emergency

691
00:42:31,450 --> 00:42:34,810
center for unhoused, as well as a future program

692
00:42:34,810 --> 00:42:38,900
and collaboration that we are doing with hold for program

693
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:42,490
for future individuals who are seeking sober living environment

694
00:42:42,490 --> 00:42:45,950
programs or other type of programming

695
00:42:45,950 --> 00:42:48,900
and their barrier is their pet.

696
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,850
And they are unable to enter these programs because

697
00:42:51,850 --> 00:42:56,100
of finding either a family member or someone

698
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:58,130
that they can trust.

699
00:42:58,130 --> 00:43:01,230
So with this dog kennel that will be going to 555,

700
00:43:01,230 --> 00:43:04,100
it will allow for these individuals

701
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:07,260
to allow their pets to go to 555.

702
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:09,580
And our His Way Refuge Center staff

703
00:43:09,580 --> 00:43:12,553
will be the ones overseeing and taking care of their pets.

704
00:43:12,553 --> 00:43:14,220
So I definitely want to take this moment

705
00:43:14,220 --> 00:43:17,940
and thank Doug and Jill for the great generosity and donation

706
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:20,340
for these dog containers.

707
00:43:20,910 --> 00:43:22,660
I don't know if you want to invite them up

708
00:43:22,660 --> 00:43:23,952
if they'd like to say anything.

709
00:43:23,952 --> 00:43:24,520
Absolutely.

710
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,300
Come on up.

711
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:25,800
Doug.

712
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,200
And Vielka, why don't you share, too--

713
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,840
we have a lot of people here tonight.

714
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,240
We've already had a success with it.

715
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:35,620
And I think it's worth sharing because I think

716
00:43:35,620 --> 00:43:40,580
it's going to be a way bigger value than we're anticipating

717
00:43:40,580 --> 00:43:41,700
it to be.

718
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:42,397
Absolutely.

719
00:43:42,397 --> 00:43:43,980
Well, in the meantime, if I can please

720
00:43:43,980 --> 00:43:48,300
have Jill and Doug come up and join me.

721
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:50,180
You're not going to get away, Doug.

722
00:43:50,180 --> 00:43:52,180
[LAUGHTER]

723
00:43:55,140 --> 00:43:56,760
So go ahead and I will jump in.

724
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,380
So one of the things that caught us

725
00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:01,315
on this whole situation of donating a kennel--

726
00:44:01,315 --> 00:44:02,940
I take homeless veterans off the street

727
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:04,420
at our business in Stockton.

728
00:44:04,420 --> 00:44:06,860
And I happen to have a guy who came to me.

729
00:44:06,860 --> 00:44:09,895
And I kept wondering why he was missing his appointments.

730
00:44:09,895 --> 00:44:12,200
And I didn't understand that he didn't have anybody

731
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,320
to set his dog with.

732
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,987
And the places where they're putting him

733
00:44:14,987 --> 00:44:17,000
were these cages with plastic over them.

734
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,480
And it was a horrible situation.

735
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,400
So I own moving and portable storage.

736
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,580
So we took an old insulated 40 foot container

737
00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:26,200
and turned it into a pretty exciting dog kennel

738
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,660
that the homeless people are going

739
00:44:27,660 --> 00:44:29,540
to be able to use and put their dog in and go

740
00:44:29,540 --> 00:44:31,400
to their appointment, get them back.

741
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,340
Get them spayed and neutered, is the goal by Jill.

742
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:38,280
And that's the deal and helping out with the homeless program.

743
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,140
So we also build some of our containers.

744
00:44:42,140 --> 00:44:43,700
And we make them into housing.

745
00:44:43,700 --> 00:44:47,680
So you guys have taken them in nicely and it was fun to donate.

746
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,480
So we appreciate it.

747
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,880
We got more coming.

748
00:44:51,940 --> 00:44:53,940
[APPLAUSE]

749
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:58,500
I would just like to express my gratitude

750
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:01,550
to this council and the city manager

751
00:45:01,550 --> 00:45:03,950
for accepting this container.

752
00:45:06,990 --> 00:45:10,350
It's going to be life changing for people and pets.

753
00:45:10,350 --> 00:45:12,470
And I truly appreciate it.

754
00:45:12,470 --> 00:45:13,390
Thank you.

755
00:45:13,390 --> 00:45:15,350
Thank you.

756
00:45:15,350 --> 00:45:16,970
Thank you.

757
00:45:16,970 --> 00:45:18,970
[APPLAUSE]

758
00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:20,610
Sorry, Mayor.

759
00:45:20,610 --> 00:45:22,847
Let me go ahead and just interject one second there.

760
00:45:22,847 --> 00:45:24,430
So I do want to take this time-- and I

761
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:26,250
know city manager may announce this later,

762
00:45:26,250 --> 00:45:30,190
but we will be having a ribbon cutting for the dog containers,

763
00:45:30,190 --> 00:45:32,630
as well as a transitional housing containers that'll

764
00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:34,170
be going on at 555.

765
00:45:34,170 --> 00:45:37,330
So that is on Wednesday, September 9 at 10:00 AM.

766
00:45:37,330 --> 00:45:40,150
So I definitely would like to invite the public

767
00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:42,430
to see this ribbon cutting.

768
00:45:42,430 --> 00:45:44,710
And just to elaborate, it's just a great program

769
00:45:44,710 --> 00:45:48,910
that we'll be able to initial initiate

770
00:45:49,710 --> 00:45:52,590
at 555, because we've come that with our outreach.

771
00:45:52,590 --> 00:45:55,970
And the different individuals that we are coming across,

772
00:45:55,970 --> 00:45:57,450
the barrier is their pets.

773
00:45:57,450 --> 00:46:00,560
They take care of their pets better than themselves.

774
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,200
So we're just creating this program

775
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,640
to allow them to seek the services and the help

776
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,720
that they need.

777
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:06,960
Thank you.

778
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,320
Thank you, Vielka.

779
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,860
All right, now, let me ask council member Morowit,

780
00:46:12,860 --> 00:46:14,640
who pulled the item, if you actually

781
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,220
have questions or comments.

782
00:46:16,220 --> 00:46:17,420
Well, a lot of questions have been answered.

783
00:46:17,420 --> 00:46:19,712
I had the pleasure of meeting Doug a few weeks ago when

784
00:46:19,712 --> 00:46:21,200
I went out with city staff.

785
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,400
And we toured his business in Stockton.

786
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,520
And he had a lot of different models

787
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,100
that he used for homeless veterans, for folks.

788
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:34,600
And these are just containers that are just very simple.

789
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,880
But they were made into livable conditions

790
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,760
with lighting, air conditioners for people.

791
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,280
And then he showed us this very, very, very nice kennel.

792
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,120
And it was designed with air conditioning as well.

793
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,800
The floors are slatted so you could wash them down easily.

794
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,760
And then they had ropes that opened up

795
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,240
to the back of the vault of the building

796
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,680
and went outside to another enclosed area, where

797
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,320
you would feed the animals.

798
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,720
And then they would go back and forth, so that way,

799
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:08,240
it's basically very similar to what

800
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:11,480
we have in our own animal control shelter

801
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,320
that we have in Manteca.

802
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:18,420
And when we were talking, he was very generous with his time.

803
00:47:18,420 --> 00:47:19,840
And we had other people there.

804
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,320
And we were walking.

805
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,380
And he showed a lot of interest in this.

806
00:47:23,380 --> 00:47:26,342
And I think before we even got back to town,

807
00:47:26,342 --> 00:47:28,800
I believe, he called our city manager-- we were in the car,

808
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,300
and pretty much said, you know what?

809
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:32,500
I'm going to donate one of these to the city.

810
00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:34,800
I think it's really important.

811
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,000
And I can tell you how important it

812
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,320
is because myself and Council Member Breitenbucher

813
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,720
are on the 2 by 2 homeless and housing committee.

814
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:45,720
And we go out on outreach every other week.

815
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:49,920
And we also go out once a month usually for the operations

816
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,550
quality of life operations.

817
00:47:51,550 --> 00:47:53,180
And I can tell you that the first time we did this,

818
00:47:53,180 --> 00:47:56,410
probably about three years ago, 2 and 1/2 years ago,

819
00:47:56,410 --> 00:47:59,890
we encountered a homeless individual that unfortunately

820
00:47:59,890 --> 00:48:02,210
got arrested and she had a dog.

821
00:48:02,210 --> 00:48:06,770
And it was horrible to take that dog away from her

822
00:48:06,770 --> 00:48:09,448
and separate her because she was so upset.

823
00:48:09,448 --> 00:48:10,990
She wasn't upset about going to jail.

824
00:48:10,990 --> 00:48:12,710
She understood that she had a warrant.

825
00:48:12,710 --> 00:48:14,650
She was fine with that, but she wanted

826
00:48:14,650 --> 00:48:17,500
to know what's going to happen to my dog.

827
00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:21,890
And a lot of people-- so that initiated another program where

828
00:48:21,890 --> 00:48:25,930
we have animal control follow along during those enforcements

829
00:48:25,930 --> 00:48:29,850
to take the dogs away, hold them until these individuals

830
00:48:29,850 --> 00:48:32,770
can be released from jail.

831
00:48:32,770 --> 00:48:34,930
But then the other encounter is when

832
00:48:34,930 --> 00:48:39,180
we're out on these outreaches, that when people want to go

833
00:48:39,180 --> 00:48:41,310
and we tell them, hey, why don't you go to the shelter?

834
00:48:41,310 --> 00:48:42,510
Why don't you go spend the day?

835
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,210
Why don't you do this, spend the night?

836
00:48:44,210 --> 00:48:45,850
Their first idea is, I don't want

837
00:48:45,850 --> 00:48:48,970
to leave my dog outside in a crappy cage,

838
00:48:48,970 --> 00:48:50,570
out in the elements.

839
00:48:50,570 --> 00:48:54,610
Well, I can tell you, that's not the situation now.

840
00:48:54,610 --> 00:48:57,460
I mean, this is no different than any other home.

841
00:48:57,460 --> 00:49:00,620
It is like some temperature controlled.

842
00:49:00,620 --> 00:49:01,960
It's safe for them.

843
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,900
They're not intermingled in little cages

844
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:05,200
on top of other cages.

845
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,420
They're separated.

846
00:49:06,420 --> 00:49:10,180
So when we went on that tour and this gentleman,

847
00:49:10,180 --> 00:49:13,880
Doug, offered that, I think he knows what he's done.

848
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,620
But I can tell you that he's done a lot more than people

849
00:49:17,620 --> 00:49:19,340
could imagine because, like I say,

850
00:49:19,340 --> 00:49:23,185
you can't convince someone to go to a shelter for themselves

851
00:49:23,185 --> 00:49:25,560
if they don't think their animals are well taken care of.

852
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,560
So this was a big deal to get this vault delivered.

853
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,322
So I just want to say that's why I pulled it.

854
00:49:33,322 --> 00:49:34,280
Everybody looked at me.

855
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,320
Why did you pull it?

856
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,860
Because it deserves more than just that, yes,

857
00:49:37,860 --> 00:49:39,800
thanks for giving it to us.

858
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,000
It really does.

859
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,980
It really means a lot to our homeless.

860
00:49:41,980 --> 00:49:44,220
And it's going to help encourage homeless folks

861
00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:46,680
to go into the shelter with their animals,

862
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,160
knowing that they're not left outside in that crappy cage,

863
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,120
as I was told by this woman.

864
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,720
So thank you, I appreciate that.

865
00:49:54,860 --> 00:49:57,860
Thank you, Council Member Morowit.

866
00:49:57,940 --> 00:49:58,620
Yes.

867
00:49:58,620 --> 00:50:03,380
So I wasn't able to go to the vault, but I did go by 555

868
00:50:03,380 --> 00:50:05,680
and take a tour of the unit.

869
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:06,980
I had my granddaughter with me.

870
00:50:06,980 --> 00:50:09,540
And we went in there and it was nice and cool.

871
00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:11,160
It was very nice.

872
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,640
This is a refrigerated unit that they've converted.

873
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,300
And it had 10 stalls in there with doors on the side

874
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:19,300
to go out.

875
00:50:19,660 --> 00:50:22,220
His Way is going to put artificial turf in the outside,

876
00:50:22,220 --> 00:50:24,860
so they're not on the asphalt. It was really nice.

877
00:50:24,860 --> 00:50:27,160
Today when we were out on outreach,

878
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,740
I talked to a gentleman.

879
00:50:28,740 --> 00:50:33,100
He has a job but he's trying to get a place in Tracy, a room

880
00:50:33,100 --> 00:50:33,760
to rent.

881
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,677
But he doesn't know if he can get enough hours

882
00:50:35,677 --> 00:50:36,740
to afford the room.

883
00:50:36,740 --> 00:50:38,857
And when I talked to him, go to 555.

884
00:50:38,857 --> 00:50:39,940
Have you ever tried there?

885
00:50:39,940 --> 00:50:43,380
He goes, no, I don't want my dog outside.

886
00:50:43,380 --> 00:50:45,600
So I told him, well, guess what?

887
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,340
We got that problem solved.

888
00:50:47,340 --> 00:50:50,280
We have a kennel that you can put your dog in.

889
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:51,527
It's air conditioned inside.

890
00:50:51,527 --> 00:50:52,360
And he goes, really?

891
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:52,930
I go, yes.

892
00:50:52,930 --> 00:50:55,290
And he goes, OK, I'd like that.

893
00:50:55,290 --> 00:50:57,850
So we're already starting to fill it up.

894
00:50:57,850 --> 00:51:00,870
So we might want to be asking for a second.

895
00:51:00,870 --> 00:51:03,910
And then I was talking to another elderly lady

896
00:51:03,910 --> 00:51:06,570
who's hardcore, doesn't want to go in because of her pet.

897
00:51:06,570 --> 00:51:10,470
Told her the same thing and she was like, OK, yes, I'm

898
00:51:10,470 --> 00:51:11,710
going to think about that.

899
00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:13,390
It gives them now an option.

900
00:51:13,390 --> 00:51:16,430
And that's great because that's more

901
00:51:16,430 --> 00:51:20,790
that we can get into the program and get them moving forward.

902
00:51:20,790 --> 00:51:21,870
So thank you.

903
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:24,510
Thank you very much for that.

904
00:51:24,510 --> 00:51:26,510
Thank you, Dave.

905
00:51:27,310 --> 00:51:29,310
Vice Mayor.

906
00:51:29,590 --> 00:51:30,910
You guys are angels.

907
00:51:30,910 --> 00:51:31,730
Seriously.

908
00:51:31,730 --> 00:51:34,190
Thank you so much for everything that you've

909
00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:37,700
done for our navigation center.

910
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:40,300
To echo what the council members are saying,

911
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:43,190
I was out on the quality of life operations

912
00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:46,390
and spoke to a lady who has a dog.

913
00:51:46,390 --> 00:51:50,510
And she would not go to 555 because why would she

914
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:52,720
be comfortable in air conditioning

915
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:55,400
while her pet is outside suffering?

916
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,500
And they truly do take care of their pets.

917
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:01,200
That is their emotional support.

918
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,540
That is their safety.

919
00:52:02,540 --> 00:52:05,960
That is their security blanket, if you will.

920
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:11,920
And the fact that we now have these air conditioned kennels

921
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,978
shows them that we see the value of their family member.

922
00:52:16,978 --> 00:52:18,200
And that's what they are.

923
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,800
They might be four legged, but their family.

924
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,680
And so I don't know that this would

925
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,520
have happened without you guys.

926
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,800
So thank you so much for caring and to pouring

927
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,220
into our community.

928
00:52:32,220 --> 00:52:34,620
It's very much appreciated.

929
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:36,000
Thank you.

930
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Charlie.

931
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:39,160
Thank you.

932
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,760
I won't repeat everything they've said.

933
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,320
And I'll just add that, definitely, you guys

934
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:46,960
came through.

935
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,320
And it's going to be such an asset for our navigation center.

936
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,980
And it's already making a difference.

937
00:52:52,980 --> 00:52:55,940
So thank you so much for having the heart to do this.

938
00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:59,000
And pets are very important to people as I know.

939
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,700
So with that, I'll entertain a motion.

940
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:03,700
Motion for approval.

941
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,960
I'll second.

942
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:11,240
I vote yes.

943
00:53:11,626 --> 00:53:13,580
OK, all right.

944
00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:17,200
I have a motion from Council Member Morowit and a second

945
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,800
from Vice Mayor Lackey.

946
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:19,940
All in favor, say aye.

947
00:53:19,940 --> 00:53:21,120
Aye.

948
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:21,620
Opposed?

949
00:53:21,620 --> 00:53:23,620
Motion carries 5-0.

950
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,560
That takes us to--

951
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,600
that takes us to C.6.

952
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,600
C.6.

953
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,780
Approved traffic calming measures along Sandra Street,

954
00:53:36,780 --> 00:53:41,580
Leo Street, Elm Street, Fishback Road, Coffeeberry Lane

955
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,120
and direct staff to take all appropriate actions

956
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,280
necessary to implement the measures in accordance

957
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:53,500
with the City of Manteca Traffic Calming Program 2025

958
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:54,487
city-wide guidelines.

959
00:53:54,487 --> 00:53:56,570
Mayor and council, tonight we have deputy director

960
00:53:56,570 --> 00:53:58,570
of engineering, Somporn.

961
00:53:59,570 --> 00:54:01,570
Somporn.

962
00:54:02,530 --> 00:54:04,930
Traffic calming, my favorite.

963
00:54:05,100 --> 00:54:07,450
Good evening, Mayor and city council members.

964
00:54:07,450 --> 00:54:10,750
So tonight, we have five street sections.

965
00:54:10,750 --> 00:54:13,750
They were nicely listed already.

966
00:54:13,850 --> 00:54:18,530
That has gone through the five steps-- four step

967
00:54:18,530 --> 00:54:21,930
process, excuse me, that was approved as part of the 2025

968
00:54:21,930 --> 00:54:23,930
traffic calming measures.

969
00:54:24,810 --> 00:54:27,850
So those five steps, just as a reminder.

970
00:54:27,850 --> 00:54:31,930
Step one is there's a request from the community, just one

971
00:54:31,930 --> 00:54:33,700
member of the community.

972
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:34,970
Step two is the community member has

973
00:54:34,970 --> 00:54:39,650
to reach out to other members along their street segments.

974
00:54:39,650 --> 00:54:43,890
There is a requirement for a 2/3 commitment to installing

975
00:54:43,890 --> 00:54:46,810
an actual traffic calming device.

976
00:54:46,810 --> 00:54:50,680
Once we get that 2/3 vote, it gets turned over to engineering.

977
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:51,880
We do the data gathering.

978
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,820
We actually send folks out there and collect data

979
00:54:54,820 --> 00:54:57,540
during the mornings and the afternoon peaks.

980
00:54:57,540 --> 00:54:59,660
And then once we determine that there

981
00:54:59,660 --> 00:55:04,460
is a valid concern about traffic calming needs,

982
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:05,960
we do the actual design.

983
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,460
And here we are, tonight, looking for your approval

984
00:55:08,460 --> 00:55:11,460
on those designs and implementation.

985
00:55:11,980 --> 00:55:14,620
All right, thank you, Somporn.

986
00:55:14,620 --> 00:55:19,140
I think this was pulled by members of the public.

987
00:55:19,140 --> 00:55:20,600
Darryl.

988
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,600
Darryl, come on up, sir.

989
00:55:23,460 --> 00:55:27,420
I want to give my support to this and what these are.

990
00:55:27,420 --> 00:55:28,480
You call them lumps.

991
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:29,840
I call them speed bumps.

992
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:30,780
Same thing.

993
00:55:30,780 --> 00:55:35,420
Anyway, I've been out there on this Elm Street Avenue

994
00:55:35,420 --> 00:55:37,340
and Argonaut Avenue.

995
00:55:37,340 --> 00:55:39,900
I sometime go out to Dave Thompson's church out

996
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:41,420
at the brethren church.

997
00:55:41,420 --> 00:55:43,500
And I don't know how many times I've

998
00:55:43,500 --> 00:55:46,960
had to call the police on speeders in that area.

999
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,420
It's that bad.

1000
00:55:48,420 --> 00:55:53,580
And I urge the city council to pass this whole thing.

1001
00:55:53,580 --> 00:55:57,260
I would make one real quick comment that we still

1002
00:55:57,260 --> 00:56:00,700
need to get a speed bump thing down there on Maple

1003
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:05,500
Street from Manteca Avenue, or reverse Manteca Avenue

1004
00:56:05,740 --> 00:56:07,100
and make it a one way.

1005
00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:12,980
But the stop sign down there at the post office always being

1006
00:56:12,980 --> 00:56:13,900
run.

1007
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:19,580
And it's bad enough that the postmaster took the mailbox

1008
00:56:19,580 --> 00:56:21,780
across the street on Center Street.

1009
00:56:21,780 --> 00:56:22,960
They removed it.

1010
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,580
And the reason they removed it, they

1011
00:56:24,580 --> 00:56:29,180
didn't want to endanger their employees for going

1012
00:56:29,180 --> 00:56:30,600
over picking the mail up.

1013
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,300
It's that bad.

1014
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:34,560
It's calmed down considerably.

1015
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,580
Of course, I haven't been downtown a few times

1016
00:56:36,580 --> 00:56:39,960
in the heat, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on,

1017
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,360
but it's warranted to.

1018
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:43,780
Thank you.

1019
00:56:43,780 --> 00:56:45,780
Thank you.

1020
00:56:48,270 --> 00:56:53,670
Yes, I'm a believer in speed bumps, humps, lumps.

1021
00:56:53,670 --> 00:56:58,510
Somporn, if you could tell me, do you know how many of these

1022
00:56:58,510 --> 00:56:59,330
are on the list?

1023
00:56:59,330 --> 00:57:02,490
I know there's a bunch of them that we're working on

1024
00:57:02,490 --> 00:57:05,947
and a bunch on the list that also need to be installed still.

1025
00:57:05,947 --> 00:57:08,530
I wouldn't be able to give you a number of the top of my head,

1026
00:57:08,530 --> 00:57:11,590
but I do know the last time I checked,

1027
00:57:11,590 --> 00:57:14,230
I want to say there was about 35 that was on the list.

1028
00:57:14,230 --> 00:57:16,710
And we are slowly making our way through it.

1029
00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:18,230
Requests do come in.

1030
00:57:18,230 --> 00:57:20,990
And as they come in, they get added to the list.

1031
00:57:20,990 --> 00:57:24,750
Right now, in terms of delivery, we typically

1032
00:57:24,750 --> 00:57:27,730
give one out anywhere between six to nine months.

1033
00:57:27,730 --> 00:57:30,850
So it does take some time to collect those signatures.

1034
00:57:30,850 --> 00:57:33,350
We do need to also reach out to the residents

1035
00:57:33,350 --> 00:57:36,830
to make sure that if you are the resident that's

1036
00:57:36,830 --> 00:57:39,900
having these lumps right in front of your house,

1037
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:42,270
we do give you an opportunity to provide your feedback.

1038
00:57:42,270 --> 00:57:46,920
And then we also have to collect the data to support the design.

1039
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,240
And then the ones that are already approved,

1040
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,960
are they all already installed or are they still waiting?

1041
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,860
So typically, once it's approved by city council,

1042
00:57:55,860 --> 00:57:59,100
it takes another two to four weeks, sometimes six.

1043
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,640
It is installed by city staff, so it is installed

1044
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,400
by our streets department.

1045
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:06,820
I'm not sure if you want to chime in.

1046
00:58:06,820 --> 00:58:08,340
Yes, I can chime in on that.

1047
00:58:08,340 --> 00:58:13,340
So typically, once they've been approved by council and come in,

1048
00:58:13,340 --> 00:58:15,660
we're about 30 to 60 days to do the install.

1049
00:58:15,660 --> 00:58:19,240
There has been, excuse me, some of the new areas

1050
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,240
that are being--

1051
00:58:21,545 --> 00:58:22,420
asphalt improvements.

1052
00:58:22,420 --> 00:58:23,600
Those are taking a little bit longer to get done.

1053
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,142
They're being done by the contractor.

1054
00:58:25,142 --> 00:58:28,840
But we try to do as they come within that 30 to 60 day window.

1055
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,320
So in the last two months, I think

1056
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,560
there's been 12 sets of lumps installed

1057
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,720
in various parts of town.

1058
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,780
And we have supply of them or are we still waiting on?

1059
00:58:39,780 --> 00:58:44,840
No, we have, I don't know, 30 sets of lumps sitting in my yard

1060
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:45,340
right now.

1061
00:58:45,340 --> 00:58:46,940
So yes, there's quite a bit to go.

1062
00:58:46,940 --> 00:58:48,720
Some just came in the last week.

1063
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,640
Perfect.

1064
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,560
All right, any other questions from council?

1065
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,300
OK, no other questions.

1066
00:58:56,300 --> 00:58:58,700
I'll entertain a motion.

1067
00:59:00,308 --> 00:59:02,100
OK, I have a motion from Vice Mayor Lackey.

1068
00:59:02,100 --> 00:59:03,660
Second from Council Member Halford.

1069
00:59:03,660 --> 00:59:04,620
All in favor, say aye.

1070
00:59:04,620 --> 00:59:05,720
Aye.

1071
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:06,220
Opposed?

1072
00:59:06,220 --> 00:59:08,880
Motion carries 5-0.

1073
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:08,880
That will go ahead.

1074
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,880
Move on to C.12.

1075
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,160
Approve a professional services agreement with RRM Design Group

1076
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,960
in an amount not to exceed $554,054 to provide

1077
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,280
comprehensive architectural and engineering services

1078
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,280
for development of Manteca Fire Station Number 6 and authorize

1079
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,800
the city manager to sign the agreement and any associated

1080
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:32,740
documents.

1081
00:59:32,740 --> 00:59:36,220
Mayor and council, tonight, we have Fire Chief Steven Islas.

1082
00:59:36,220 --> 00:59:38,220
Do present.

1083
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:39,180
Good evening.

1084
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:41,470
So a brief update on where we're at.

1085
00:59:41,470 --> 00:59:43,890
We're trying to get the plans completed

1086
00:59:43,890 --> 00:59:46,450
for the new company six.

1087
00:59:46,450 --> 00:59:50,340
In the process of doing so, it was the most--

1088
00:59:50,340 --> 00:59:52,610
the most expedited and economical way

1089
00:59:52,610 --> 00:59:57,190
to do that is to utilize plans that were used for company five.

1090
00:59:57,190 --> 00:59:58,990
It's a really good firehouse.

1091
00:59:58,990 --> 01:00:00,350
It's a good layout.

1092
01:00:00,350 --> 01:00:03,970
It's got scalability to it, pace of growth.

1093
01:00:03,970 --> 01:00:08,770
The issues that require changes to the plans.

1094
01:00:09,900 --> 01:00:11,290
We need a longer apparatus.

1095
01:00:11,290 --> 01:00:14,870
Right now it only fit one piece of apparatus per side.

1096
01:00:14,870 --> 01:00:17,270
So that's been a--

1097
01:00:18,410 --> 01:00:19,470
it was designed that way.

1098
01:00:19,470 --> 01:00:21,430
So it wasn't a flaw but it's a poor design.

1099
01:00:21,430 --> 01:00:22,770
So we needed that changed.

1100
01:00:22,770 --> 01:00:27,170
And then because of the time, we need updates to code.

1101
01:00:27,170 --> 01:00:29,210
So moving forward with that, there

1102
01:00:29,210 --> 01:00:32,290
were two vendors that worked on those plans.

1103
01:00:32,290 --> 01:00:33,770
The first was RRM.

1104
01:00:33,770 --> 01:00:36,342
And they brought it to a 30%.

1105
01:00:36,342 --> 01:00:38,500
And then it was kicked over to the design

1106
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:40,620
and build process to PBA.

1107
01:00:40,620 --> 01:00:42,840
So because of the rights from those architectures,

1108
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,500
those were the options that we had

1109
01:00:45,500 --> 01:00:48,600
moving forward with this plan.

1110
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,180
You have the amount from the proposal from RRM.

1111
01:00:52,180 --> 01:00:55,780
And the amount from PBA was $733,325.

1112
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,760
So RRM came in substantially lower.

1113
01:01:03,820 --> 01:01:07,620
That's where we're at with the process.

1114
01:01:07,620 --> 01:01:11,600
And then how long do you think this process will take?

1115
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:12,720
The process of architecture?

1116
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:13,540
Yeah.

1117
01:01:13,540 --> 01:01:17,320
The code up and the changes, I'm being told,

1118
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,320
will take approximately 60 to 90 days.

1119
01:01:21,140 --> 01:01:23,140
Perfect.

1120
01:01:23,583 --> 01:01:25,500
I like that we're going to go with double base

1121
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:30,180
because we have more space at the new station.

1122
01:01:30,180 --> 01:01:31,160
Councilman Morowit.

1123
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:31,780
Yes.

1124
01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:34,280
So I'm glad you mentioned station 5.

1125
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,880
I was on council when we broke ground on station 5.

1126
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,170
So it's good that you've made improvements

1127
01:01:39,170 --> 01:01:41,587
because I've heard that there were some modifications that

1128
01:01:41,587 --> 01:01:42,590
need to be made.

1129
01:01:42,590 --> 01:01:45,350
Most importantly, what I wanted to bring to light

1130
01:01:45,350 --> 01:01:48,850
is we are starting to build station six.

1131
01:01:48,850 --> 01:01:50,300
You start someplace.

1132
01:01:50,300 --> 01:01:54,390
And station 6 is the direct benefit from Measure Q.

1133
01:01:54,390 --> 01:01:56,850
I mean, we talked about Measure Q and what it would do.

1134
01:01:56,850 --> 01:01:58,392
And what we said we would do with it.

1135
01:01:58,392 --> 01:02:01,670
So for folks that probably weren't excited about 3/4

1136
01:02:01,670 --> 01:02:04,630
percent sales tax, I think this was a great start.

1137
01:02:04,630 --> 01:02:09,910
I mean, this is what a directly benefit of the 3/4 percent sales

1138
01:02:09,910 --> 01:02:11,630
tax.

1139
01:02:11,630 --> 01:02:14,300
Fire station 6 is going to be built.

1140
01:02:14,300 --> 01:02:15,450
And that's because of that.

1141
01:02:15,450 --> 01:02:19,815
So I pulled it because this is the very first stage of building

1142
01:02:19,815 --> 01:02:21,690
something, as you have to have a good design.

1143
01:02:21,690 --> 01:02:23,830
And I think we've done a good job as far as what

1144
01:02:23,830 --> 01:02:25,530
it costs to do the design.

1145
01:02:25,530 --> 01:02:28,900
But now moving forward, it's actually going to happen.

1146
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:30,298
And that's going to give a great amount of protection

1147
01:02:30,298 --> 01:02:32,747
to southwest Manteca and all of the city

1148
01:02:32,747 --> 01:02:34,330
because, as we've talked about before,

1149
01:02:34,330 --> 01:02:37,750
that fire stations, when occurrences happen

1150
01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:39,710
on the south side, we pull from the north

1151
01:02:39,710 --> 01:02:40,950
and we bring them south.

1152
01:02:40,950 --> 01:02:45,790
So it's very important that we have a fire station 6 and a 5.

1153
01:02:45,790 --> 01:02:48,290
And that gives protection along the 120 as well.

1154
01:02:48,290 --> 01:02:50,430
So I'm just glad we're bringing it forward

1155
01:02:50,430 --> 01:02:52,900
and we're starting the process now.

1156
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:54,632
So I'm looking forward to the groundbreaking in about a month

1157
01:02:54,632 --> 01:02:55,550
or so.

1158
01:02:55,550 --> 01:02:57,510
Yes, thank you.

1159
01:02:57,510 --> 01:02:58,250
Thank you.

1160
01:02:58,250 --> 01:02:59,910
Yes, and I agree.

1161
01:02:59,910 --> 01:03:02,390
The other big win is for staff to be

1162
01:03:02,390 --> 01:03:06,750
working on and saving money by using the plans from station 5.

1163
01:03:06,750 --> 01:03:10,610
And just adding to them and not having to start from scratch.

1164
01:03:10,610 --> 01:03:14,210
So definitely kudos to that too.

1165
01:03:17,310 --> 01:03:19,710
Any of you guys want to add anything?

1166
01:03:19,710 --> 01:03:21,710
District 1 over there.

1167
01:03:22,310 --> 01:03:25,950
It's a first step in probably what, a two-year process,

1168
01:03:25,950 --> 01:03:29,670
to get the station built. Not only is Measure Q

1169
01:03:29,670 --> 01:03:31,990
helping pay for the station, it's already

1170
01:03:31,990 --> 01:03:35,520
paying for the staff that we'll be staffing.

1171
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:36,580
Nine firefighters.

1172
01:03:36,580 --> 01:03:38,180
Yeah, so there's nine firefighters.

1173
01:03:38,180 --> 01:03:41,480
Well, three firefighters, three engineers, and a captain that

1174
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,160
are being paid for by Measure Q that are already on board

1175
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,680
and running a second engine out of station [INAUDIBLE].

1176
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,680
We're making progress.

1177
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:56,440
We'll get there hopefully before I get reelected.

1178
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,440
And the apparatus.

1179
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,280
Yeah, all the money adds up.

1180
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,600
All right.

1181
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,660
Any other comments from council?

1182
01:04:07,660 --> 01:04:11,640
I will open this up for public comments.

1183
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,640
I got excited last time.

1184
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:18,880
Anybody on Zoom?

1185
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:27,380
I have no hands raised on Zoom for comment on item C.12.

1186
01:04:27,380 --> 01:04:28,680
OK, no comment cards?

1187
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:29,520
No comment.

1188
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,520
OK, come up.

1189
01:04:36,650 --> 01:04:38,370
Good evening.

1190
01:04:38,370 --> 01:04:39,110
Thank you.

1191
01:04:39,110 --> 01:04:42,210
I appreciate city for bringing fire station 6.

1192
01:04:42,210 --> 01:04:45,210
And hopefully it operates in 2028.

1193
01:04:50,690 --> 01:04:56,310
So I want to get a clarification on the site that is required.

1194
01:04:56,310 --> 01:05:02,310
So I heard it is two acres or is it 2.82?

1195
01:05:02,650 --> 01:05:03,770
2 acres.

1196
01:05:03,770 --> 01:05:05,490
Sorry?

1197
01:05:05,490 --> 01:05:07,490
2.82.

1198
01:05:07,970 --> 01:05:09,490
[INAUDIBLE]

1199
01:05:09,490 --> 01:05:10,370
I can't hear.

1200
01:05:10,370 --> 01:05:11,530
2 acres.

1201
01:05:11,530 --> 01:05:13,530
2 acres, OK.

1202
01:05:15,930 --> 01:05:21,330
City has acquired 1.82 from the private developer and 1 acre

1203
01:05:22,130 --> 01:05:24,530
from the school district.

1204
01:05:26,330 --> 01:05:29,930
So city identifies the fire station 5

1205
01:05:32,490 --> 01:05:38,500
is a 0.75 acre and a need to have a 2 acre fire station.

1206
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:42,650
Why doesn't city understand that school district also

1207
01:05:42,650 --> 01:05:48,250
requires to support the growth, not reduce their school site?

1208
01:05:48,250 --> 01:05:52,450
And the PQP area should be balanced

1209
01:05:52,490 --> 01:05:57,650
as per the Manteca general plan-- the land use

1210
01:05:57,650 --> 01:05:59,730
to provide adequate land.

1211
01:05:59,730 --> 01:06:04,810
I appreciate that fire station is being taken care and also

1212
01:06:04,810 --> 01:06:09,610
wish the city fulfill their responsibility to provide

1213
01:06:10,530 --> 01:06:13,170
adequate land for the growth.

1214
01:06:13,170 --> 01:06:15,570
The school capacity is 1,000.

1215
01:06:17,810 --> 01:06:21,410
Sorry, for 1,000 kids capacity to support,

1216
01:06:21,730 --> 01:06:24,890
a minimum of 15 acres is required.

1217
01:06:24,890 --> 01:06:30,890
But the current site itself is 15.87 of the school district.

1218
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:39,800
And if 1 acre is given and it is 14.87 and it's not adequate

1219
01:06:39,260 --> 01:06:40,440
for 1,000 kids.

1220
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,460
But how many kids in the region?

1221
01:06:42,460 --> 01:06:44,180
There are 3,000 kids.

1222
01:06:44,180 --> 01:06:47,280
What is the adequate planning missing by the city?

1223
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:51,920
Why doesn't it fulfill its responsibility for the kids

1224
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:57,920
along with the much needed both fire station and schools.

1225
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,500
All the public infrastructure are equally

1226
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:02,500
important for benefiting.

1227
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,500
For one, we should not dig a grave

1228
01:07:05,500 --> 01:07:08,140
for the other public facility.

1229
01:07:08,140 --> 01:07:10,140
Thank you.

1230
01:07:11,180 --> 01:07:13,180
OK, thank you.

1231
01:07:15,540 --> 01:07:19,740
Brad, can you clarify this whole 1.82, 2.82 situation

1232
01:07:21,780 --> 01:07:23,380
or having one of you guys.

1233
01:07:23,380 --> 01:07:25,740
Yeah, good evening, Mayor and council, Brad Wungluck,

1234
01:07:25,740 --> 01:07:27,620
director of government services.

1235
01:07:27,620 --> 01:07:29,520
So there are currently two sites.

1236
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,670
We have a site for the school that's

1237
01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:36,470
15.87 acres and a high density residential parcel that's 11.22.

1238
01:07:38,430 --> 01:07:41,830
In discussions with the school district several months back,

1239
01:07:41,830 --> 01:07:44,910
there was communication regarding the potential

1240
01:07:44,910 --> 01:07:49,230
for a fire station along one of those sites

1241
01:07:49,230 --> 01:07:50,590
with the previous fire chief.

1242
01:07:50,590 --> 01:07:55,630
And the size that was determined that was necessary was 2.8.

1243
01:07:55,630 --> 01:07:57,450
In conversations with the school district,

1244
01:07:57,450 --> 01:08:01,500
there was the opportunity to acquire

1245
01:08:01,230 --> 01:08:04,110
or for them to donate 1 acre of that land

1246
01:08:04,110 --> 01:08:06,790
to the city that would not affect their design

1247
01:08:06,790 --> 01:08:08,870
or the number of students on the site.

1248
01:08:08,870 --> 01:08:12,150
So with that, there will be an item coming forward later that

1249
01:08:12,150 --> 01:08:15,150
will essentially proposes to increase

1250
01:08:16,690 --> 01:08:19,710
the acreage of public quasi public or public use

1251
01:08:19,710 --> 01:08:23,310
on those parcels from the 15.87 to 16.87,

1252
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,630
reducing the high density residential,

1253
01:08:26,630 --> 01:08:31,710
which will allow for the school to be built as designed

1254
01:08:31,710 --> 01:08:34,910
and for the city to construct the two-acre fire station

1255
01:08:34,910 --> 01:08:36,910
site as well.

1256
01:08:37,790 --> 01:08:43,190
And the developer is not gaining any more acres?

1257
01:08:43,510 --> 01:08:48,630
The private developer is losing 1 acre as part of--

1258
01:08:48,630 --> 01:08:51,300
they're going from 11.22 to 10.22.

1259
01:08:52,550 --> 01:08:54,550
OK, thank you.

1260
01:08:54,830 --> 01:08:57,230
Any other public comments?

1261
01:08:58,910 --> 01:09:01,310
You've already spoken, sir.

1262
01:09:04,390 --> 01:09:08,590
OK, seeing none, I'll bring it back.

1263
01:09:09,670 --> 01:09:11,770
If no other comments or questions from council,

1264
01:09:11,770 --> 01:09:12,770
I'll entertain a motion.

1265
01:09:12,770 --> 01:09:13,790
I do.

1266
01:09:13,790 --> 01:09:14,550
Go ahead.

1267
01:09:14,550 --> 01:09:16,950
So I'm going to go back a little ways in history

1268
01:09:16,950 --> 01:09:18,950
for Manteca Fire.

1269
01:09:20,870 --> 01:09:23,510
When I started, there was three stations.

1270
01:09:23,510 --> 01:09:27,800
One was at Lincoln or on Powers, next to Lincoln School.

1271
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:33,200
Station 2 was on Center Street, next to Yosemite School.

1272
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,439
Station 3 was on Louise, across from Golden West.

1273
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,600
So when Manteca started building stations,

1274
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:42,160
they put them next to schools.

1275
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,279
And we, of course, we went to Del Webb to the north side

1276
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:46,600
because we needed one there.

1277
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,479
And five had to go to the southeast side

1278
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,879
at Woodward and Atherton.

1279
01:09:52,359 --> 01:09:54,960
I'm glad to see that we are putting another station

1280
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,360
next to a school.

1281
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,720
That is what they should be.

1282
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,000
They should be there to protect the kids.

1283
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,280
And in the location it is, it will also

1284
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:13,240
provide coverage within the five minutes and make it safer.

1285
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:17,360
Measure Q staffed the engine at station 1.

1286
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,200
We're going to be looking at ways to get staffing

1287
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,200
for station 6.

1288
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,960
I don't see us wanting to go back

1289
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,370
to where we had the truck running first out, especially

1290
01:10:28,370 --> 01:10:29,690
in that area.

1291
01:10:29,690 --> 01:10:32,130
It'll be just as bad as it was at once.

1292
01:10:32,130 --> 01:10:35,383
And so yes, Measure Q helps staffing,

1293
01:10:35,383 --> 01:10:37,500
but that was to staff the engine at once

1294
01:10:37,500 --> 01:10:39,490
to get the truck over where it needs to be.

1295
01:10:39,490 --> 01:10:41,930
But it does not to be running first out.

1296
01:10:41,930 --> 01:10:44,710
So that's what I have.

1297
01:10:44,710 --> 01:10:46,100
Thank you.

1298
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:49,490
All right, I'll entertain a motion now.

1299
01:10:49,490 --> 01:10:50,490
Motion to approve.

1300
01:10:50,490 --> 01:10:51,470
Second.

1301
01:10:51,470 --> 01:10:53,470
OK, I have a motion from Council Member Halford.

1302
01:10:53,470 --> 01:10:54,928
Second from Council Member Morowit.

1303
01:10:54,928 --> 01:10:55,930
All in favor, say aye.

1304
01:10:55,930 --> 01:10:57,470
Aye.

1305
01:10:57,470 --> 01:10:58,210
Opposed?

1306
01:10:58,210 --> 01:11:00,210
Motion carries 5-0.

1307
01:11:00,570 --> 01:11:02,970
Takes us to C.15.

1308
01:11:03,970 --> 01:11:07,370
Adopt a resolution approving amendment number one to contract

1309
01:11:07,370 --> 01:11:11,570
services agreement with Flock Safety for the addition of six

1310
01:11:11,570 --> 01:11:16,500
Flock Condor cameras at an annual cost of $18,000

1311
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:18,810
for the remaining three years of the agreement,

1312
01:11:18,810 --> 01:11:25,410
plus a one time installation fee of $1,500 for a total contract

1313
01:11:27,900 --> 01:11:29,490
amount not to exceed $55,500.

1314
01:11:31,650 --> 01:11:34,250
And further authorizing the city manager

1315
01:11:34,250 --> 01:11:39,500
without further council action to procure additional Flock

1316
01:11:40,850 --> 01:11:46,250
Condor cameras under the same type in future years,

1317
01:11:46,290 --> 01:11:50,230
subject to appropriated funding within the police department

1318
01:11:50,230 --> 01:11:52,570
approved annual budget and compliance

1319
01:11:52,570 --> 01:11:54,710
with the city's purchasing policy.

1320
01:11:54,710 --> 01:11:56,170
Mayor and council, tonight we have

1321
01:11:56,170 --> 01:11:58,570
Police Chief, Stephen Schluer.

1322
01:11:58,970 --> 01:12:00,970
All right, Chief.

1323
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:05,470
Good evening, Stephen Schluer, Chief of Police.

1324
01:12:05,470 --> 01:12:09,610
First, I just want to say that these are condor cameras not

1325
01:12:09,610 --> 01:12:10,550
ALPR cameras.

1326
01:12:10,550 --> 01:12:12,950
However, they do have a capability of ALPR,

1327
01:12:12,950 --> 01:12:15,530
but they're a condor camera.

1328
01:12:15,530 --> 01:12:16,710
And there are five of them.

1329
01:12:16,710 --> 01:12:20,570
And we're working jointly with parks, recreation, and transit

1330
01:12:20,570 --> 01:12:24,860
to strategically place these five in our parks

1331
01:12:24,860 --> 01:12:28,580
that are being vandalized and are being broken into.

1332
01:12:28,580 --> 01:12:33,100
We plan on putting them in Northgate Park, two of them.

1333
01:12:33,100 --> 01:12:37,460
One near the snack bar area and then one under the gazebo.

1334
01:12:37,460 --> 01:12:43,180
Lincoln Park, one looking at the entrance of the pool,

1335
01:12:43,180 --> 01:12:46,260
as well the outside of the restroom area

1336
01:12:46,260 --> 01:12:51,780
there, that's in the middle of the park and under the gazebo.

1337
01:12:51,780 --> 01:12:55,400
The next one is going to be the Skate Park.

1338
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,180
It will overlook the entire Skate Park.

1339
01:12:58,180 --> 01:12:59,780
Morenzone Park is the next one that

1340
01:12:59,780 --> 01:13:04,560
will be on the west side of the ball diamond

1341
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,940
there, looking at the side there,

1342
01:13:07,940 --> 01:13:10,880
and the restroom area that's constantly being vandalized.

1343
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:14,580
And then Woodward Splash Pad will have one.

1344
01:13:14,580 --> 01:13:18,980
And it'll be focused on the pump house

1345
01:13:18,980 --> 01:13:24,350
and outside of the restroom area there for vandalism.

1346
01:13:24,350 --> 01:13:26,710
I also have, Ian Osborne here, who

1347
01:13:26,710 --> 01:13:30,300
is our Flock guru or our Flock guy

1348
01:13:30,300 --> 01:13:32,430
here to answer any really specific questions that I

1349
01:13:32,430 --> 01:13:36,300
may not be able to answer.

1350
01:13:36,170 --> 01:13:38,310
Council, we want to start with questions or do you

1351
01:13:38,310 --> 01:13:42,110
want me to open it up for public?

1352
01:13:42,110 --> 01:13:47,190
OK, we'll open it up for public comment first.

1353
01:13:47,190 --> 01:13:49,190
Anybody on Zoom?

1354
01:13:54,670 --> 01:13:56,450
I have attendees on Zoom.

1355
01:13:56,450 --> 01:14:01,700
However, no hands are raised for public comment on C.15.

1356
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:02,510
OK, comment cards?

1357
01:14:02,510 --> 01:14:03,990
No comments.

1358
01:14:03,990 --> 01:14:08,430
Anybody who would like to speak on item C.15?

1359
01:14:08,430 --> 01:14:10,830
Come on up, sir.

1360
01:14:10,950 --> 01:14:14,710
I wasn't familiar with what these are exactly,

1361
01:14:14,710 --> 01:14:19,550
but I learned from the police department how these function.

1362
01:14:19,550 --> 01:14:22,510
And I just want to tell you these cameras

1363
01:14:22,510 --> 01:14:24,910
do a tremendous job.

1364
01:14:25,910 --> 01:14:29,270
And the amount of violence down there at library park

1365
01:14:29,270 --> 01:14:33,310
that these cameras have cut has been phenomenal.

1366
01:14:33,310 --> 01:14:35,510
And there's been situations that we've

1367
01:14:35,510 --> 01:14:41,230
had with vandalism to Union Pacific rail line that has

1368
01:14:41,230 --> 01:14:43,850
been curbed by those cameras.

1369
01:14:43,850 --> 01:14:47,150
And I am 100% in favor of them.

1370
01:14:47,150 --> 01:14:49,500
And I back them all the way.

1371
01:14:49,500 --> 01:14:51,150
They've been a big help to the police

1372
01:14:51,150 --> 01:14:55,350
department and the general public at large.

1373
01:14:55,910 --> 01:14:57,310
Sure.

1374
01:14:57,310 --> 01:15:03,310
Anybody else who would like to speak on this item?

1375
01:15:04,750 --> 01:15:06,870
OK, seeing none, we'll bring it back.

1376
01:15:06,870 --> 01:15:09,870
We'll start with Vice Mayor.

1377
01:15:11,430 --> 01:15:12,270
Thank you.

1378
01:15:12,270 --> 01:15:17,850
OK, so I've done a lot of research this past week.

1379
01:15:17,850 --> 01:15:21,880
I've asked a lot of questions for both Sergeant Osborne

1380
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,400
and Chief.

1381
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:28,800
And I'm going to play a little bit of devil's advocate here.

1382
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:29,880
Flock cameras, as we know, that's

1383
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,900
a very hot topic in the news right now.

1384
01:15:31,900 --> 01:15:35,640
And I know that a lot of news that's coming out

1385
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,640
is misinformation.

1386
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,800
One of the things that has come out

1387
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,640
is the misuse of information collected from the cameras

1388
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,360
in another state, not here.

1389
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:51,520
It's brought out questions regarding regulation processes,

1390
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,520
sharing of information, and potential violation

1391
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,520
of constitutional rights.

1392
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,940
So at what point do we say-- and like I said,

1393
01:16:00,940 --> 01:16:03,103
I'm playing devil's advocate here.

1394
01:16:03,103 --> 01:16:04,520
At what point do we officially say

1395
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:08,200
that we are becoming a surveillance state?

1396
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,800
We have cameras on the streets.

1397
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,680
We have cameras on buildings, parks, trackers

1398
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,960
in our phones and cars.

1399
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,930
All are the result of trying to eliminate a problem.

1400
01:16:18,930 --> 01:16:20,770
People are out there vandalizing.

1401
01:16:20,770 --> 01:16:23,830
We put up cameras, they find a new place to vandalize.

1402
01:16:23,830 --> 01:16:25,930
We put up more cameras.

1403
01:16:25,930 --> 01:16:28,330
Eventually, cameras are everywhere.

1404
01:16:28,690 --> 01:16:32,700
Just the other day, I was walking down the street,

1405
01:16:32,700 --> 01:16:34,100
crossing the street, and a house very

1406
01:16:34,100 --> 01:16:37,473
proudly announced that I was being recorded.

1407
01:16:37,473 --> 01:16:39,390
I was on the other side of the street already,

1408
01:16:39,390 --> 01:16:43,170
but that's how far their camera reached.

1409
01:16:43,170 --> 01:16:45,205
It's my understanding that these new cameras

1410
01:16:45,205 --> 01:16:47,330
are going to be placed at five parks that are known

1411
01:16:47,330 --> 01:16:49,810
for a high rate of vandalism.

1412
01:16:49,810 --> 01:16:51,570
So unfortunately, we live in a society

1413
01:16:51,570 --> 01:16:53,490
where people think it's OK to destroy

1414
01:16:53,490 --> 01:16:56,490
what doesn't belong to them.

1415
01:16:56,730 --> 01:16:59,810
As a result, we're considering putting more eyes up

1416
01:16:59,810 --> 01:17:03,430
to keep an eye on the areas that we can't physically be there.

1417
01:17:03,430 --> 01:17:04,750
Our PD is good.

1418
01:17:04,750 --> 01:17:06,410
They're really good.

1419
01:17:06,410 --> 01:17:08,270
They can't be everywhere at once.

1420
01:17:08,270 --> 01:17:10,450
And I understand this.

1421
01:17:10,450 --> 01:17:12,110
So I've asked a lot of questions.

1422
01:17:12,110 --> 01:17:13,850
I've done a lot of research.

1423
01:17:13,850 --> 01:17:18,450
So a couple of questions just to put out there

1424
01:17:18,450 --> 01:17:21,650
that I've already asked both of you that I think

1425
01:17:21,650 --> 01:17:26,450
would be beneficial for the public to hear--

1426
01:17:26,450 --> 01:17:28,770
these cameras, these condor cameras, are they the same

1427
01:17:28,770 --> 01:17:31,610
as the pan-tilt cameras that you were talking to me about?

1428
01:17:31,610 --> 01:17:36,130
Yeah, so condor is the pan-tilt zoom or PTZ camera

1429
01:17:36,130 --> 01:17:38,130
that Flock offers.

1430
01:17:38,530 --> 01:17:45,450
So and my understanding is that it's set on a fixed point

1431
01:17:45,450 --> 01:17:48,490
unless somebody's at a computer changes

1432
01:17:48,490 --> 01:17:53,390
the vantage point of that camera and circulates it around.

1433
01:17:53,390 --> 01:17:54,850
Is that right?

1434
01:17:54,850 --> 01:17:54,710
That's correct.

1435
01:17:54,710 --> 01:17:57,230
That's how all of our cameras are currently set up.

1436
01:17:57,230 --> 01:18:00,970
There is an option to monitor for movement.

1437
01:18:00,970 --> 01:18:02,970
And so if it picks it up, it'll track the person

1438
01:18:02,970 --> 01:18:04,470
until it goes out of frame.

1439
01:18:04,470 --> 01:18:06,900
We don't use that currently, which

1440
01:18:06,900 --> 01:18:08,330
we might with these ones because in the parks

1441
01:18:08,330 --> 01:18:10,370
it makes more sense to do that.

1442
01:18:10,370 --> 01:18:12,330
How clear is the picture?

1443
01:18:12,330 --> 01:18:15,610
Does it pick up facial recognition

1444
01:18:15,610 --> 01:18:18,700
or is it just like with the ALPR,

1445
01:18:18,700 --> 01:18:23,500
it's distinguishing clothing colors, stuff of that nature?

1446
01:18:23,820 --> 01:18:26,440
Yeah, so as they're defaulted right now-- well,

1447
01:18:26,440 --> 01:18:27,800
let me back up.

1448
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:28,980
There is no facial recognition built

1449
01:18:28,980 --> 01:18:31,380
into this software whatsoever.

1450
01:18:31,580 --> 01:18:36,300
Currently, they're on poles 35, 40 feet in the air that

1451
01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:39,300
are just general broad views.

1452
01:18:39,900 --> 01:18:42,140
You cannot generally see faces.

1453
01:18:42,140 --> 01:18:43,640
Sometimes you can't tell the gender,

1454
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,620
but you can tell if it's black pants, black shirt,

1455
01:18:47,620 --> 01:18:51,980
if they have a backpack, or if they're riding a bicycle.

1456
01:18:51,980 --> 01:18:54,520
So if it doesn't pick up facial recognition,

1457
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,200
how is it going to assist you in identifying those

1458
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,200
who are vandalizing our parks?

1459
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,700
Well, so facial recognition is computer software.

1460
01:19:02,700 --> 01:19:06,700
We're old school, and we have officers that review the footage

1461
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:09,780
and are able to say, hey, that guy looks like Joe Schmo, who

1462
01:19:09,780 --> 01:19:12,400
I contacted two days ago.

1463
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,670
We know most of our clientele.

1464
01:19:14,670 --> 01:19:16,390
And so that's how most of the people

1465
01:19:16,390 --> 01:19:18,950
get identified is just from other officers.

1466
01:19:18,950 --> 01:19:21,190
And to clarify that, the difference

1467
01:19:21,190 --> 01:19:23,230
between facial recognition and a video

1468
01:19:23,230 --> 01:19:25,190
being able to pick up someone's face or two

1469
01:19:25,190 --> 01:19:26,710
totally different things.

1470
01:19:26,710 --> 01:19:28,870
Like Lieutenant Osborne said facial recognition

1471
01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:30,890
would be taking that face that it picks up,

1472
01:19:30,890 --> 01:19:32,510
putting it into a software program

1473
01:19:32,510 --> 01:19:35,110
and then spitting out who that person is,

1474
01:19:35,110 --> 01:19:42,270
where it will be able to pick up their face and their body.

1475
01:19:42,270 --> 01:19:47,100
Then we look at that to determine who that person is.

1476
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:48,910
It's not just their clothing, but it

1477
01:19:48,910 --> 01:19:50,710
will be able to track their clothing

1478
01:19:50,710 --> 01:19:53,230
and be able to say, OK, so we have

1479
01:19:53,230 --> 01:19:58,930
a guy with a black sweatshirt, white backpack, blue jeans

1480
01:19:58,930 --> 01:20:00,830
shorts, and a green bike.

1481
01:20:00,830 --> 01:20:02,870
And then we can look at the other cameras

1482
01:20:02,870 --> 01:20:05,470
to see where that person may have gone

1483
01:20:05,470 --> 01:20:08,500
or the direction of travel that person has gone.

1484
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:10,450
Does that make sense?

1485
01:20:14,430 --> 01:20:16,430
OK, we're good.

1486
01:20:20,910 --> 01:20:23,390
You'll be able to prosecute based off of the video

1487
01:20:23,390 --> 01:20:29,170
that it takes or to be able to collect damages, however,

1488
01:20:29,170 --> 01:20:30,910
that works out with the court systems?

1489
01:20:30,910 --> 01:20:32,670
Yeah, at that point, it becomes evidence

1490
01:20:32,670 --> 01:20:36,710
that is used throughout the court process.

1491
01:20:36,710 --> 01:20:40,430
And so I know that Flock, because of the issues

1492
01:20:40,430 --> 01:20:43,100
that they've been having nationwide,

1493
01:20:43,100 --> 01:20:46,100
they're actually changing their policies.

1494
01:20:46,510 --> 01:20:50,270
And they've been adjusting the way that their practices are

1495
01:20:50,270 --> 01:20:50,850
happening.

1496
01:20:50,850 --> 01:20:53,127
So instead of holding for 30 days evidence,

1497
01:20:53,127 --> 01:20:54,210
they're holding for seven.

1498
01:20:54,210 --> 01:20:56,390
And that's going to be applicable

1499
01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:58,790
based on each jurisdiction.

1500
01:20:59,330 --> 01:21:03,300
So we're still sticking with the 30 days?

1501
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:04,300
Correct, yes.

1502
01:21:04,300 --> 01:21:06,750
We will stay with the 30 days because we're not only

1503
01:21:06,750 --> 01:21:08,710
using these cameras in the park areas

1504
01:21:08,710 --> 01:21:11,290
for the vandalism, which is a property crime.

1505
01:21:11,290 --> 01:21:15,600
We also have these in other areas throughout the city.

1506
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:21,160
Let's take the jugging that just happened at the bank.

1507
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:24,740
They usually come in and they will surveil

1508
01:21:24,740 --> 01:21:28,180
or they'll scan an area prior to doing their crime.

1509
01:21:28,180 --> 01:21:31,800
They may come back a week later, or two weeks later,

1510
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,320
or jugging weeks later, or come back several times before they

1511
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,000
commit the actual crime.

1512
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,960
And then like with the jugging, we

1513
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:44,360
were able to get the person who was doing

1514
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,280
the jugging at the bank, and then

1515
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:51,840
go back and see that he was at the other locations

1516
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:53,545
up to 30 days prior.

1517
01:21:53,545 --> 01:21:54,920
And so we were able to charge him

1518
01:21:54,920 --> 01:22:00,400
with several other instances of doing the same crime.

1519
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,400
Chief, can you just define the definition

1520
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,268
of jugging for the folks?

1521
01:22:05,268 --> 01:22:07,600
Those of us that aren't hip enough to know.

1522
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,580
OK, So Ian can do that.

1523
01:22:09,580 --> 01:22:12,460
So jugging is a term-- it is a real thing.

1524
01:22:12,460 --> 01:22:14,130
It's not something we made up.

1525
01:22:14,130 --> 01:22:17,490
Essentially, a criminal will surveil the bank

1526
01:22:17,490 --> 01:22:19,970
and wait for victims to come out where they're

1527
01:22:19,970 --> 01:22:21,770
carrying obvious money bags.

1528
01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:24,950
And it's not always the business type money bags.

1529
01:22:24,950 --> 01:22:27,690
Sometimes it's just the envelope of cash.

1530
01:22:27,690 --> 01:22:29,970
And sure enough, victims do walk out

1531
01:22:29,970 --> 01:22:32,250
just carrying it in their hand.

1532
01:22:32,250 --> 01:22:35,250
They will then leave the bank and either be robbed down

1533
01:22:35,250 --> 01:22:38,510
the road or, in this case, this suspect,

1534
01:22:38,510 --> 01:22:41,470
he was breaking into the vehicles at their next stop.

1535
01:22:41,470 --> 01:22:44,400
So they get out of the bank, go to the grocery store.

1536
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:45,790
While the person was in the grocery store,

1537
01:22:45,790 --> 01:22:48,930
they would break into the car and steal the cash.

1538
01:22:48,930 --> 01:22:50,610
We didn't determine jugging.

1539
01:22:50,610 --> 01:22:53,490
Somebody else somewhere-- it might even

1540
01:22:53,490 --> 01:22:56,980
be in Webster's dictionary, I don't know,

1541
01:22:56,980 --> 01:22:59,380
or the Urban Dictionary.

1542
01:22:59,890 --> 01:23:01,770
All right, so it's my understanding

1543
01:23:01,770 --> 01:23:05,530
that, Lieutenant Osborne, you conduct audits of the camera

1544
01:23:05,530 --> 01:23:07,170
once a month.

1545
01:23:07,170 --> 01:23:08,210
Or more.

1546
01:23:08,210 --> 01:23:14,330
And Chief already informed me, but can you inform the public.

1547
01:23:14,330 --> 01:23:19,570
Has Manteca ever uncovered any misuse of Flock information?

1548
01:23:19,570 --> 01:23:23,870
No, it has not been uncovered doing a random audit.

1549
01:23:23,870 --> 01:23:28,670
And we've never had any allegations that there

1550
01:23:29,970 --> 01:23:32,250
was misuse of system.

1551
01:23:32,250 --> 01:23:34,670
Can you tell I put a lot of thought into this this week?

1552
01:23:34,670 --> 01:23:36,670
Yeah.

1553
01:23:40,130 --> 01:23:43,490
Here's the issue that I'm having.

1554
01:23:43,490 --> 01:23:46,370
Camera surveillance, the potential for it

1555
01:23:46,370 --> 01:23:47,990
is really unlimited.

1556
01:23:47,990 --> 01:23:51,250
We don't know where it's going in the future.

1557
01:23:51,250 --> 01:23:54,850
We need to stay a step ahead and ensure that our residents are

1558
01:23:54,850 --> 01:23:56,890
not only safe, but they're free to live

1559
01:23:56,890 --> 01:23:59,290
with their constitutional rights.

1560
01:24:01,570 --> 01:24:04,290
Most people I know are not in favor

1561
01:24:04,290 --> 01:24:08,530
of being a surveillance state where every step they take

1562
01:24:08,530 --> 01:24:10,530
is being tracked.

1563
01:24:10,900 --> 01:24:15,000
With that being said, I am about kids.

1564
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,360
I am about families.

1565
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:21,460
And knowing that these cameras help with things such as Amber

1566
01:24:21,460 --> 01:24:22,500
alerts.

1567
01:24:22,500 --> 01:24:25,500
That's what triggers my brain.

1568
01:24:27,660 --> 01:24:30,860
The way that this is written and the reason

1569
01:24:30,860 --> 01:24:34,700
I'm going to decline on this is because I

1570
01:24:34,700 --> 01:24:39,500
don't believe that council should be giving away

1571
01:24:42,860 --> 01:24:46,900
their ability to decide on future Flock camera

1572
01:24:46,900 --> 01:24:48,160
installation.

1573
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,200
I think that's something that needs

1574
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,620
to be decided as a council.

1575
01:24:54,140 --> 01:24:57,140
Here, it states further authorizing city manager

1576
01:24:57,140 --> 01:25:00,620
without further council action to procure additional Flock

1577
01:25:00,620 --> 01:25:02,500
Condor camera units.

1578
01:25:02,500 --> 01:25:03,840
I don't agree with that.

1579
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:10,440
I think that our ability to have surveillance around the city

1580
01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:14,630
needs to have council consideration now

1581
01:25:14,630 --> 01:25:16,700
and in the future.

1582
01:25:16,700 --> 01:25:19,700
So that's where I'm at.

1583
01:25:19,110 --> 01:25:20,630
So I have a question on that.

1584
01:25:20,630 --> 01:25:24,110
So in the future, if we sign any new contracts, or extensions,

1585
01:25:24,110 --> 01:25:26,430
or anything like that, is this item

1586
01:25:26,430 --> 01:25:30,790
going to say that you're not coming back to council with it?

1587
01:25:30,790 --> 01:25:35,910
It would come to council in the formal budget process.

1588
01:25:35,910 --> 01:25:37,707
So say if they're--

1589
01:25:37,707 --> 01:25:39,790
I'll give you a little bit of background and chief

1590
01:25:39,790 --> 01:25:41,550
you can add to it as well.

1591
01:25:41,550 --> 01:25:45,270
So we piloted the cameras like the camera

1592
01:25:45,270 --> 01:25:49,590
that you saw at library park, that has really been

1593
01:25:49,590 --> 01:25:51,650
a huge help in a lot of ways.

1594
01:25:51,650 --> 01:25:53,510
It's even helping the local businesses

1595
01:25:53,510 --> 01:25:55,510
downtown from vandalization.

1596
01:25:56,900 --> 01:25:58,570
We had an incident at Lincoln Pool.

1597
01:25:58,570 --> 01:26:01,490
We were able to arrest the suspects.

1598
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:04,470
So we've seen-- and we just piloted

1599
01:26:04,470 --> 01:26:05,930
all different types of cameras.

1600
01:26:05,930 --> 01:26:08,930
We were piloting Flock, ALPR.

1601
01:26:09,190 --> 01:26:11,350
I mean, all of these brands.

1602
01:26:11,350 --> 01:26:12,810
And they give them to you.

1603
01:26:12,810 --> 01:26:13,593
It's a free demo.

1604
01:26:13,593 --> 01:26:15,100
We're like, hey, let's try it out.

1605
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:15,810
Let's see what works.

1606
01:26:15,810 --> 01:26:16,768
Let's see what happens.

1607
01:26:16,768 --> 01:26:18,550
And we've seen a huge success.

1608
01:26:18,550 --> 01:26:20,310
And so some of the reasons why we're

1609
01:26:20,310 --> 01:26:25,470
bringing this forward tonight is we just invested $3.2 million

1610
01:26:25,470 --> 01:26:29,390
in a beautiful splash pad for our community.

1611
01:26:29,390 --> 01:26:32,950
And so at the end of the day, if there are issues with it

1612
01:26:32,950 --> 01:26:35,730
or something happens with it being vandalized,

1613
01:26:35,730 --> 01:26:38,870
we have to report to the public and say, we didn't know.

1614
01:26:38,870 --> 01:26:40,790
We didn't have an officer there.

1615
01:26:40,790 --> 01:26:45,170
So in some of these areas where we know that they're hot targets

1616
01:26:45,170 --> 01:26:48,790
and as you know, the areas that are identified are.

1617
01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:52,500
But at some point this gives the chief or I discretion.

1618
01:26:52,500 --> 01:26:55,390
If we need to get one, it's in our operational means,

1619
01:26:55,390 --> 01:26:56,290
we can do that.

1620
01:26:56,290 --> 01:26:58,900
That doesn't mean we wouldn't notify you.

1621
01:26:58,900 --> 01:27:00,102
It just may not come before council.

1622
01:27:00,102 --> 01:27:02,310
And chief, you can add to that if you'd like as well.

1623
01:27:02,310 --> 01:27:06,510
This also is for the condor camera,

1624
01:27:07,515 --> 01:27:10,800
to procure additional condor cameras, which are not

1625
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,840
the ALPRs that you see at the intersections that are set up

1626
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:15,460
fixed to read license plates.

1627
01:27:15,460 --> 01:27:20,920
These would be more a brand of security camera, not so much

1628
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:26,920
the ALPR that we have fixed throughout the city that

1629
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:33,200
are the license plate reader ones that pick up the vehicles.

1630
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,820
So these are more surveillance camera type things?

1631
01:27:35,820 --> 01:27:39,200
These are just like a security camera, pan-tilt zoom security

1632
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:42,800
camera that Flock is the manufacturer.

1633
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,600
Is there an AI or a software attached to the back end

1634
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,600
of this for these condors?

1635
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,800
AI to do--

1636
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,480
A software to recognize?

1637
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,200
So it's not the facial recognition.

1638
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:03,000
It's the green bicycle and black shirt recognition.

1639
01:28:05,650 --> 01:28:11,500
Also these cameras are a precursor to our [INAUDIBLE].

1640
01:28:13,370 --> 01:28:16,970
And that's something which is the real time crime information

1641
01:28:16,970 --> 01:28:22,530
center that we just are going to be receiving $750,000 from

1642
01:28:22,530 --> 01:28:26,730
the federal government for to help build.

1643
01:28:27,290 --> 01:28:33,290
And the cameras, although yet it does surveil certain areas

1644
01:28:34,100 --> 01:28:40,130
or things that we have it up on, what they do on the back end,

1645
01:28:40,130 --> 01:28:41,430
not on the back end of the system,

1646
01:28:41,430 --> 01:28:45,730
but on the back end of the product is invaluable.

1647
01:28:45,730 --> 01:28:51,900
One of the most recent-- we've had several cases to that we

1648
01:28:51,900 --> 01:28:53,890
have solved major crimes with.

1649
01:28:53,890 --> 01:28:54,990
A robbery recently.

1650
01:28:54,990 --> 01:29:00,990
But most recently, as he was speaking about the human

1651
01:29:01,500 --> 01:29:05,900
trafficking and stop, we did have a 12-year-old girl who was

1652
01:29:05,900 --> 01:29:10,490
being lured online and left her family, went out.

1653
01:29:11,500 --> 01:29:14,290
The Ring camera picked up a brief car

1654
01:29:14,290 --> 01:29:16,900
that went by at her house.

1655
01:29:16,900 --> 01:29:20,970
It also picked up her going out her front window of her bedroom.

1656
01:29:20,970 --> 01:29:24,450
She went into that car and disappeared.

1657
01:29:24,450 --> 01:29:25,670
No one knew where she went.

1658
01:29:25,670 --> 01:29:29,900
We had a brief thing on the car.

1659
01:29:29,900 --> 01:29:33,910
And we were able to, off of that Ring camera

1660
01:29:33,910 --> 01:29:36,390
video, then take that description,

1661
01:29:36,390 --> 01:29:37,970
put it into our Flock.

1662
01:29:37,970 --> 01:29:41,450
And through our flock be able to pick up

1663
01:29:41,450 --> 01:29:44,370
and realize what type of vehicle it was.

1664
01:29:44,370 --> 01:29:48,130
Then another camera was able to pick up a plate.

1665
01:29:48,130 --> 01:29:49,890
And we were able to backtrack.

1666
01:29:49,890 --> 01:29:54,900
And then as we were getting ready to go to this person's

1667
01:29:54,900 --> 01:29:56,410
house in Stockton that she fled to,

1668
01:29:56,410 --> 01:30:00,100
she actually made it back home.

1669
01:30:01,450 --> 01:30:05,540
And then there was some crimes that

1670
01:30:05,540 --> 01:30:08,200
were alleged that occurred in Stockton with her.

1671
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:13,580
And so had we not had these Flock cameras that we have,

1672
01:30:13,580 --> 01:30:15,260
had she not returned home, we would

1673
01:30:15,260 --> 01:30:18,200
have been able to go to where we were able to find him

1674
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,260
at in coordination with our Flock, the Flock that's

1675
01:30:21,260 --> 01:30:24,600
in the county, the Flock in Stockton

1676
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:28,260
and being able to put things together.

1677
01:30:28,620 --> 01:30:30,860
Had she not returned home, I would

1678
01:30:30,860 --> 01:30:33,660
like to think that we would have been able to do it--

1679
01:30:33,660 --> 01:30:37,700
to safely get her out of harm's way.

1680
01:30:37,700 --> 01:30:41,740
We had a robbery a couple of weeks ago at the convenience

1681
01:30:41,740 --> 01:30:48,940
store at Yosemite and airport that a lady was inside the store

1682
01:30:49,260 --> 01:30:50,400
when it was getting robbed.

1683
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,100
She calls.

1684
01:30:52,100 --> 01:30:56,278
The person flees in a white, smaller vehicle.

1685
01:30:56,278 --> 01:30:57,320
That was the description.

1686
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,790
We were able to pick it up on Flock and get a license plate

1687
01:31:00,790 --> 01:31:03,910
and then eventually make an arrest at that person's home.

1688
01:31:03,910 --> 01:31:07,390
And so they are great tools.

1689
01:31:07,390 --> 01:31:09,850
And like with any tool, if they are misused,

1690
01:31:09,850 --> 01:31:11,630
they can be a bad tool.

1691
01:31:11,630 --> 01:31:13,250
And I'll be the first to admit that.

1692
01:31:13,250 --> 01:31:16,252
However, we have safeguards in place at our police department.

1693
01:31:16,252 --> 01:31:17,710
And I think the state of California

1694
01:31:17,710 --> 01:31:20,670
does a pretty good job in having safeguards in place

1695
01:31:20,670 --> 01:31:23,350
with the facial recognition and some of the other things.

1696
01:31:23,350 --> 01:31:25,990
Yeah, we still have to do the old--

1697
01:31:25,990 --> 01:31:27,550
one of the comments the other day

1698
01:31:27,550 --> 01:31:29,855
that this takes away the gumshoe detective,

1699
01:31:29,855 --> 01:31:31,230
but actually, it doesn't gives us

1700
01:31:31,230 --> 01:31:36,300
leads to go and apprehend these suspects that

1701
01:31:36,172 --> 01:31:37,130
are doing these crimes.

1702
01:31:37,130 --> 01:31:40,700
Not all of them are just vandalism or drug use in a park.

1703
01:31:40,700 --> 01:31:43,390
There are violent crimes that occur.

1704
01:31:43,390 --> 01:31:44,550
Even in other cities.

1705
01:31:44,550 --> 01:31:47,390
And in other cities, they can enter that license plate

1706
01:31:47,390 --> 01:31:49,790
in, as it's called, a hot plate.

1707
01:31:49,790 --> 01:31:53,390
Or hey, this person just robbed the AMPM

1708
01:31:53,390 --> 01:31:56,390
at Wilson and the Crosstown.

1709
01:31:57,630 --> 01:32:01,910
And put in that license plate so that if it comes into our town,

1710
01:32:01,910 --> 01:32:03,910
we know.

1711
01:32:04,230 --> 01:32:07,990
I've read things that say, oh, it's mistaken.

1712
01:32:07,990 --> 01:32:11,810
People are being arrested for mistaken license plates or this,

1713
01:32:11,810 --> 01:32:17,210
that, or the other, mistaken identity on the vehicle.

1714
01:32:18,890 --> 01:32:23,670
When a car goes through and it picks up a hit,

1715
01:32:23,670 --> 01:32:25,190
it'll send you a message.

1716
01:32:25,190 --> 01:32:28,190
And it shows you a back picture of the vehicle and the license

1717
01:32:28,190 --> 01:32:28,950
plate.

1718
01:32:28,950 --> 01:32:35,550
And that portion-- and let's say the license plate was 1JTF 123.

1719
01:32:39,300 --> 01:32:44,950
And there's a license plate frame or JT or JIE.

1720
01:32:44,950 --> 01:32:47,700
And the license plate frame cuts it off

1721
01:32:47,700 --> 01:32:50,410
and it shows that it says it's JTF instead of JTI.

1722
01:32:50,410 --> 01:32:54,350
So it picks it up and we get a picture of that vehicle.

1723
01:32:54,350 --> 01:32:55,890
And they'll tell you--

1724
01:32:55,890 --> 01:32:57,390
Stockton, let's say, would say, hey,

1725
01:32:57,390 --> 01:32:59,340
that's a green Toyota that did it.

1726
01:32:59,340 --> 01:33:02,800
When it pops it up because it pictures the car,

1727
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:07,240
it comes back as, oh, no, that's a white Ford.

1728
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,100
And with this license plate, so you run it.

1729
01:33:09,100 --> 01:33:10,840
Yeah, sure.

1730
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:11,580
The day is long.

1731
01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:13,600
It comes back to a white Ford.

1732
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,800
And so that car wouldn't be stopped.

1733
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:17,860
But there are safeguards in place.

1734
01:33:17,860 --> 01:33:24,400
And the human factor is very real in it with us.

1735
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:28,780
And I believe that they're invaluable to being safe.

1736
01:33:28,780 --> 01:33:32,880
As far as the surveillance state, I've read the book, 1984.

1737
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:35,600
I was a government major.

1738
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,480
I know who Big Brother is.

1739
01:33:37,480 --> 01:33:42,880
I don't think Orwell in that book was envisioning--

1740
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,700
he was envisioning the surveillance state.

1741
01:33:48,700 --> 01:33:54,700
But we're not so much the surveillance state as people

1742
01:33:57,610 --> 01:33:59,470
put us out to be.

1743
01:33:59,470 --> 01:34:03,730
It's not the-- like I said, it's not the facial recognition.

1744
01:34:03,730 --> 01:34:06,570
It's not the drive-through and it's picking up your IMEI

1745
01:34:06,570 --> 01:34:07,350
on your phone.

1746
01:34:07,350 --> 01:34:09,230
And people think, oh, because my phone's in my car.

1747
01:34:09,230 --> 01:34:10,105
It picks up my phone.

1748
01:34:10,105 --> 01:34:11,500
It knows where I'm at.

1749
01:34:11,500 --> 01:34:13,500
That's not happening.

1750
01:34:13,243 --> 01:34:15,910
It picks up a description of the vehicle, and the license plate.

1751
01:34:15,910 --> 01:34:20,770
It doesn't pick up the person in the car.

1752
01:34:20,770 --> 01:34:25,590
The condors that we'll have up at the other sites

1753
01:34:25,590 --> 01:34:27,810
and the condors that we do have up now

1754
01:34:27,810 --> 01:34:30,390
are targeted at high crime areas.

1755
01:34:30,390 --> 01:34:35,790
We have one that's at a high crime area

1756
01:34:36,450 --> 01:34:40,650
that we've had shootings at some establishments.

1757
01:34:41,130 --> 01:34:44,700
And that's just so that it's reactive.

1758
01:34:44,700 --> 01:34:47,310
And when we get RTCC in, in a few years,

1759
01:34:47,310 --> 01:34:48,930
once our police department gets built,

1760
01:34:48,930 --> 01:34:52,850
and we'll have personnel who will man it,

1761
01:34:52,850 --> 01:34:55,833
not so much 24/7 because the evening or the morning hours

1762
01:34:55,833 --> 01:34:56,750
don't need it as much.

1763
01:34:56,750 --> 01:34:59,470
And so we'll have those people who are able to look at those.

1764
01:34:59,470 --> 01:35:04,270
So to say that these cameras are something

1765
01:35:04,770 --> 01:35:08,970
that is being used to surveil people

1766
01:35:11,330 --> 01:35:13,650
know is to pick up criminal activity.

1767
01:35:13,650 --> 01:35:15,970
And this here is just for condors

1768
01:35:15,970 --> 01:35:19,530
and it's not for the ALPRs.

1769
01:35:19,530 --> 01:35:24,290
Chief, how long have you had cameras in the city?

1770
01:35:24,290 --> 01:35:24,830
Oh, geez.

1771
01:35:24,830 --> 01:35:26,950
We started with a program called Vigilant.

1772
01:35:26,950 --> 01:35:29,150
And it was a license plate reader.

1773
01:35:29,150 --> 01:35:32,270
And Charlie maybe able to help us.

1774
01:35:32,270 --> 01:35:37,728
We got those in '09, right after you left, maybe '10.

1775
01:35:37,728 --> 01:35:39,770
Well, before that, we had a license plate readers

1776
01:35:39,770 --> 01:35:40,350
on our cars.

1777
01:35:40,350 --> 01:35:43,100
Yeah, we had license plate readers on our cars.

1778
01:35:43,100 --> 01:35:44,870
We had Vigilant readers on our cars.

1779
01:35:44,870 --> 01:35:47,270
So we've had them--

1780
01:35:47,322 --> 01:35:49,300
that's before I was in Delta [INAUDIBLE].

1781
01:35:49,300 --> 01:35:51,170
And so that was probably--

1782
01:35:51,170 --> 01:35:53,170
we're looking like 2005, 2006.

1783
01:35:57,820 --> 01:35:59,620
We've had video cameras.

1784
01:35:59,620 --> 01:36:03,820
And the same thing with our body cameras, our body worn cameras.

1785
01:36:03,820 --> 01:36:07,793
There's some misbelief about how these videos are stored.

1786
01:36:07,793 --> 01:36:08,960
They're stored in the cloud.

1787
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:10,100
They can be accessed.

1788
01:36:10,100 --> 01:36:11,380
All of our videos--

1789
01:36:11,380 --> 01:36:14,860
Axon body worn cameras is the--

1790
01:36:14,860 --> 01:36:17,620
even if you use the View, which got bought by Axon,

1791
01:36:17,620 --> 01:36:19,520
all those are stored in the cloud.

1792
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:23,100
The proprietary access is to the police department.

1793
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,100
And same thing with Flock.

1794
01:36:25,100 --> 01:36:29,600
It's stored in the cloud, but it's accessed by us.

1795
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:34,460
And we have agreements that that's accessed by us.

1796
01:36:34,740 --> 01:36:37,700
All right, anybody else have comments.

1797
01:36:37,700 --> 01:36:40,100
Just a brief comment.

1798
01:36:40,580 --> 01:36:43,580
I think we go in every store, every market.

1799
01:36:43,580 --> 01:36:45,240
I have them in my business.

1800
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,180
We have cameras everywhere.

1801
01:36:47,180 --> 01:36:49,860
The only thing you do have to tell people

1802
01:36:49,860 --> 01:36:51,882
is if you're doing audio, you have

1803
01:36:51,882 --> 01:36:54,900
to let them know you're doing audio in your business,

1804
01:36:54,900 --> 01:36:56,190
so that has to be told.

1805
01:36:56,190 --> 01:36:59,300
My daughter is an attorney and she told me a long time ago

1806
01:36:59,300 --> 01:37:01,310
there is no anticipation of privacy

1807
01:37:01,310 --> 01:37:03,990
once you leave your home.

1808
01:37:03,990 --> 01:37:05,730
That is just the way it is.

1809
01:37:05,730 --> 01:37:07,370
Now, the question is who abuses it.

1810
01:37:07,370 --> 01:37:09,950
I think the chief covered that well.

1811
01:37:09,950 --> 01:37:14,790
Abuse is a potential problem, but not a problem in this city.

1812
01:37:14,790 --> 01:37:17,390
I think the Lieutenant made it very clear that we

1813
01:37:17,390 --> 01:37:19,790
have stops in place.

1814
01:37:20,130 --> 01:37:20,930
We've checked.

1815
01:37:20,930 --> 01:37:23,390
We've never had allegations of misuse.

1816
01:37:23,390 --> 01:37:25,170
That is the proof in the pudding.

1817
01:37:25,170 --> 01:37:27,670
Not a few complaints across the country

1818
01:37:27,670 --> 01:37:29,810
or a few misguided officers.

1819
01:37:29,810 --> 01:37:31,650
Bad apples, as I like to call them.

1820
01:37:31,650 --> 01:37:34,830
And does not dictate the entire country.

1821
01:37:34,830 --> 01:37:40,300
And these cities in California is probably especially tough

1822
01:37:40,300 --> 01:37:43,300
on anticipation of privacy, especially

1823
01:37:43,150 --> 01:37:45,390
by police departments and misuse.

1824
01:37:45,390 --> 01:37:47,150
So I'm confident.

1825
01:37:47,150 --> 01:37:49,230
These are specifically-- I think we're only here

1826
01:37:49,230 --> 01:37:53,950
to decide if we want six cameras in high crime areas.

1827
01:37:53,950 --> 01:37:56,730
And I think that's really what we have in front of us.

1828
01:37:56,730 --> 01:37:59,700
All the other information-- although I appreciate.

1829
01:37:59,700 --> 01:38:00,990
And I think we're going to have some type

1830
01:38:00,990 --> 01:38:03,870
of a little briefing on that next month

1831
01:38:03,870 --> 01:38:05,230
or something on Flock.

1832
01:38:05,230 --> 01:38:06,370
I'll be asking that.

1833
01:38:06,370 --> 01:38:08,100
Yeah, so that's going to be coming up.

1834
01:38:08,100 --> 01:38:11,838
But in the meantime, six cameras, high crime areas,

1835
01:38:11,838 --> 01:38:13,630
two of them in my district, I can tell you.

1836
01:38:13,630 --> 01:38:15,470
You mentioned.

1837
01:38:15,470 --> 01:38:17,150
The ones you also mentioned are areas

1838
01:38:17,150 --> 01:38:20,470
that we have a lot of folks sleeping in barbecue areas

1839
01:38:20,470 --> 01:38:25,100
and under coverings at night, burning up barbecues.

1840
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:26,590
We just reported a bunch of barbecues

1841
01:38:26,590 --> 01:38:30,177
that are burnt up at Lincoln Park, Northgate, Woodward.

1842
01:38:30,177 --> 01:38:32,100
This is not happening during the day, folks.

1843
01:38:32,100 --> 01:38:33,190
This is happening at night.

1844
01:38:33,190 --> 01:38:35,273
And we don't have enough police officers or people

1845
01:38:35,273 --> 01:38:36,490
watching everything.

1846
01:38:36,490 --> 01:38:39,100
So I'm looking forward to these cameras being there.

1847
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,470
I think it's going to help.

1848
01:38:40,470 --> 01:38:42,490
Hopefully, you won't have any more problems.

1849
01:38:42,490 --> 01:38:44,250
Maybe it'll be enough to deter people.

1850
01:38:44,250 --> 01:38:47,830
But in the meantime, I'm in favor of it.

1851
01:38:47,830 --> 01:38:48,750
And I like the way the program is set up

1852
01:38:48,750 --> 01:38:52,520
as it is, especially to watch private property, vandalism,

1853
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:53,520
and crime.

1854
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:54,640
Thank you.

1855
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:56,640
Yeah, I agree.

1856
01:38:56,860 --> 01:38:59,820
It doesn't matter how many officers we have.

1857
01:38:59,820 --> 01:39:02,780
We never can be everywhere, every place.

1858
01:39:02,780 --> 01:39:08,900
And these extra eyes help our officers, do their job better.

1859
01:39:08,900 --> 01:39:12,640
And end of the day, I think they have helped tremendously

1860
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,640
in certain places.

1861
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:18,340
And the locations you mentioned are all been issues.

1862
01:39:18,340 --> 01:39:20,640
And I think it will actually help

1863
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,160
people feel safer in the parks because they

1864
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:28,120
know that criminal activity is being watched.

1865
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:32,560
Eventually, like Chief said, with the Real Time Crime Center,

1866
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:36,760
this is vital to continue that going.

1867
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:41,600
I also feel that we do need to give some flexibility to-- we're

1868
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:46,280
not here to do the Chief's job and give him flexibility

1869
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,360
and the city manager to work together

1870
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:54,610
to move them around or also add another one depending on if they

1871
01:39:54,610 --> 01:39:57,100
get other hot spots in the community,

1872
01:39:57,100 --> 01:40:00,550
as long as we are told about them at the same time.

1873
01:40:00,550 --> 01:40:03,450
So I think I'm good with the way it is also.

1874
01:40:03,450 --> 01:40:07,650
And I think these need to happen.

1875
01:40:08,130 --> 01:40:11,450
And I do feel that it has deterred a lot of crime,

1876
01:40:11,450 --> 01:40:13,230
has solved a lot of crimes too.

1877
01:40:13,230 --> 01:40:17,210
And something I will ask during my council comments

1878
01:40:17,210 --> 01:40:20,290
tonight to give a thorough report on this

1879
01:40:20,290 --> 01:40:21,770
into our next meeting.

1880
01:40:21,770 --> 01:40:24,170
But for now, at least, let's look at C.15

1881
01:40:24,170 --> 01:40:27,130
and see if we have consensus to move this forward.

1882
01:40:27,130 --> 01:40:28,970
Motion for approval.

1883
01:40:28,970 --> 01:40:30,330
Second

1884
01:40:30,330 --> 01:40:33,930
OK, I have a motion from Council Member Morowit and a second

1885
01:40:33,930 --> 01:40:35,990
from Council Member Breitenbucher.

1886
01:40:35,990 --> 01:40:37,330
All in favor, say aye.

1887
01:40:37,330 --> 01:40:38,830
Aye.

1888
01:40:38,830 --> 01:40:43,300
And I had a comment or two.

1889
01:40:44,330 --> 01:40:45,470
You gotta tell me.

1890
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:47,650
You gotta yell at me.

1891
01:40:47,650 --> 01:40:51,250
You need to look this way.

1892
01:40:53,500 --> 01:40:57,110
I'm very supportive of the cameras for a number of reasons,

1893
01:40:57,110 --> 01:40:58,890
from both the prevention point of view

1894
01:40:58,890 --> 01:41:00,810
and investigative point of view.

1895
01:41:00,810 --> 01:41:02,530
The other reality of it is if we become

1896
01:41:02,530 --> 01:41:06,970
known as not having cameras, guess who's coming to town?

1897
01:41:06,970 --> 01:41:10,650
It'll be the people that we want on camera.

1898
01:41:10,650 --> 01:41:14,730
The benefits of the cameras far outweigh any negative.

1899
01:41:14,730 --> 01:41:20,130
And so I'm very supportive, both of the ALPR and the security

1900
01:41:20,130 --> 01:41:21,900
cameras.

1901
01:41:21,900 --> 01:41:22,310
They're a huge benefit.

1902
01:41:22,310 --> 01:41:23,890
I mean, even to the point of if they

1903
01:41:23,890 --> 01:41:25,890
get the call of an armed robbery at Wells Fargo,

1904
01:41:25,890 --> 01:41:28,930
they can slave whatever cameras are in the neighborhood,

1905
01:41:28,930 --> 01:41:30,810
in the area to look over and to see

1906
01:41:30,810 --> 01:41:35,650
what is happening before the responding officers even get--

1907
01:41:35,650 --> 01:41:40,450
with the Real Time Crime Center gets here.

1908
01:41:41,330 --> 01:41:44,810
That's what that group would be tasked with because it's

1909
01:41:44,810 --> 01:41:47,660
a little much to ask dispatch that they may or may not

1910
01:41:47,660 --> 01:41:49,500
have time to do it right now.

1911
01:41:49,500 --> 01:41:51,560
Tremendous benefit to the community, the safety.

1912
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,960
And I'm fully supporting.

1913
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:56,245
That's why I voted yes.

1914
01:41:56,245 --> 01:41:57,620
Yeah, with the community, I think

1915
01:41:57,620 --> 01:42:00,740
also it's a big win for our business owners

1916
01:42:00,740 --> 01:42:02,580
and also encouraging more businesses

1917
01:42:02,580 --> 01:42:06,160
to feel safe with retail crime in the city

1918
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:07,340
because we have these.

1919
01:42:07,340 --> 01:42:10,140
And we've solved a lot of those cases too.

1920
01:42:10,140 --> 01:42:12,140
Vice Mayor.

1921
01:42:12,380 --> 01:42:18,180
I just want to be clear that I am support in support of our PD.

1922
01:42:18,180 --> 01:42:22,600
And I do recognize the benefit of these cameras.

1923
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:28,600
And what I don't agree with on this particular item

1924
01:42:28,740 --> 01:42:32,940
is the council giving the future ability

1925
01:42:34,860 --> 01:42:38,500
to decide on whether or not procuring more Flock cameras

1926
01:42:38,500 --> 01:42:42,740
is in the best interest of the community.

1927
01:42:42,740 --> 01:42:47,690
Just as we have with this, we are given a recommendation.

1928
01:42:47,690 --> 01:42:49,430
We are given all the information.

1929
01:42:49,430 --> 01:42:53,700
And what this is stating is that the council,

1930
01:42:53,700 --> 01:42:56,490
for future additional Flock Condor cameras,

1931
01:42:56,490 --> 01:42:58,670
they just want to be known if they're going up.

1932
01:42:58,670 --> 01:43:04,700
And I don't think that I can vote for that particular piece

1933
01:43:04,700 --> 01:43:04,570
of this.

1934
01:43:04,570 --> 01:43:08,370
Like I said, I recognize the benefit of these cameras.

1935
01:43:08,370 --> 01:43:10,235
I do.

1936
01:43:10,235 --> 01:43:11,610
And I said in the very beginning,

1937
01:43:11,610 --> 01:43:13,270
I was playing devil's advocate.

1938
01:43:13,270 --> 01:43:17,890
Our job is to speak for our constituents, for our people.

1939
01:43:17,890 --> 01:43:20,990
And it has been a hot topic.

1940
01:43:20,990 --> 01:43:25,790
But I truly believe that procuring additional condor

1941
01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:28,270
cameras needs to be a council decision, which

1942
01:43:28,270 --> 01:43:31,750
is why-- that is the reason why I'm voting no on this.

1943
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:35,900
OK, so it looks like we were in the middle of the motion,

1944
01:43:35,900 --> 01:43:38,230
but I think it got done.

1945
01:43:38,230 --> 01:43:39,770
Yeah, I think the vote occurred.

1946
01:43:39,770 --> 01:43:42,170
You got that, Cass?

1947
01:43:42,910 --> 01:43:44,820
Yeah, 4 yeses and 1 no.

1948
01:43:44,820 --> 01:43:46,400
Yes.

1949
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,800
OK, with that, I think-- is that all the consent

1950
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:51,520
items that were pulled?

1951
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:52,580
It's all I have.

1952
01:43:52,580 --> 01:44:00,380
OK, with that, I'm going to go ahead and do a 10-minute break.

1953
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:06,900
All right, we are back from break,

1954
01:44:06,900 --> 01:44:10,680
and we have made it to public hearings.

1955
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:13,800
D1, conduct a public hearing and adopt

1956
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:17,200
a resolution approving the Manteca Transit Fixed-Route,

1957
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:20,800
redesign network, and authorizing implementation

1958
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,440
of the proposed redesign Fixed-Route network,

1959
01:44:23,440 --> 01:44:25,440
effective October 1, 2026.

1960
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:28,400
Mayor and council, tonight we have transit manager,

1961
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:29,680
Juan Portillo.

1962
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:33,280
All right, transit my other favorite.

1963
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,360
Can you turn that microphone on?

1964
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,220
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, city council members.

1965
01:44:43,220 --> 01:44:47,200
Juan Portillo, transit manager with the Transit Division.

1966
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:51,600
This item is a public hearing to receive community input

1967
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,320
on the proposed Fixed-Route redesign network

1968
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,360
and adopt a resolution approving the network

1969
01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:00,120
and authorize staff to implement the redesign.

1970
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:02,120
Effective October 1, 2026.

1971
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,000
The Transit Division began a comprehensive evaluation

1972
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:08,880
of the city's fixed-route transit system

1973
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,280
in the fall of 2025.

1974
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,640
The evaluation was initiated in response

1975
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:18,240
to continued residential and community growth,

1976
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:23,400
changing travel patterns, and evolving transportation needs

1977
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,280
of the community.

1978
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:28,560
The city retained Fehr & Peers consultants

1979
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,480
to evaluate the existing transit service,

1980
01:45:31,480 --> 01:45:33,720
analyzing ridership and travel patterns,

1981
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:37,320
and identifying service gaps and opportunities,

1982
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,680
and to develop the recommended network.

1983
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:43,450
The proposed network would replace the existing four

1984
01:45:43,450 --> 01:45:47,500
fixed-route service with five new routes.

1985
01:45:47,650 --> 01:45:50,470
Routes 2, 4 and 5 would operate Monday through Saturday,

1986
01:45:50,470 --> 01:45:55,270
while routes 1 and 3 would operate Monday through Friday.

1987
01:45:55,890 --> 01:45:58,770
Weekday service will begin at 5:30 AM.

1988
01:45:58,770 --> 01:46:03,450
Route 1, 3 would operate until 8:00 PM, while routes 2, and 4,

1989
01:46:03,450 --> 01:46:06,450
and 5 would operate until 9:00 PM.

1990
01:46:06,530 --> 01:46:08,430
Saturday service on routes 2, and 4,

1991
01:46:08,430 --> 01:46:12,490
and 5 would operate from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

1992
01:46:12,490 --> 01:46:16,370
The proposed routes are intended to provide a simpler and more

1993
01:46:16,370 --> 01:46:17,730
direct transit network.

1994
01:46:17,730 --> 01:46:20,570
Paired routes would improve the two way travel

1995
01:46:20,570 --> 01:46:23,830
on major corridors including Main Street, Union Road,

1996
01:46:23,830 --> 01:46:26,830
Yosemite Avenue, and Louise Avenue,

1997
01:46:28,900 --> 01:46:29,810
without requiring passengers to ride

1998
01:46:29,810 --> 01:46:31,970
an entire loop to reach their destinations

1999
01:46:31,970 --> 01:46:33,970
in opposite direction.

2000
01:46:34,890 --> 01:46:36,930
Public participation was an important part

2001
01:46:36,930 --> 01:46:38,570
of the design process.

2002
01:46:38,570 --> 01:46:40,980
Outreach included four in-person workshops

2003
01:46:40,980 --> 01:46:43,380
at the Manteca Transit Center.

2004
01:46:43,380 --> 01:46:48,220
One was on January 29 and the other was May 11, 2026.

2005
01:46:48,220 --> 01:46:51,840
We also had a virtual workshop on June 3, 2026.

2006
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:54,340
We had onboard and online surveys.

2007
01:46:54,340 --> 01:46:56,740
And we did some outreach at the Manteca Senior Center

2008
01:46:56,740 --> 01:46:59,140
and Eskaton Senior Living.

2009
01:46:59,140 --> 01:47:03,340
And we participated in several community events.

2010
01:47:03,573 --> 01:47:05,740
The outreach materials that was provided and surveys

2011
01:47:05,740 --> 01:47:08,740
were also provided in Spanish.

2012
01:47:08,900 --> 01:47:11,980
And the project consultant presented the proposed service

2013
01:47:11,980 --> 01:47:15,580
concept to city council on June 16, 2026.

2014
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:17,860
And notice of tonight's public hearing

2015
01:47:17,860 --> 01:47:22,000
was published in the Manteca Bulletin on July 10, 2026,

2016
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,580
at least 30 days before the hearing.

2017
01:47:25,580 --> 01:47:27,980
I am available for any questions and invite

2018
01:47:27,980 --> 01:47:30,600
the Mayor Singh to open the public hearing process.

2019
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:32,220
Thank you.

2020
01:47:32,220 --> 01:47:39,420
All right, we will go ahead and open the public hearing at 8:15.

2021
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:48,820
Do we have any public comments on Zoom?

2022
01:47:52,260 --> 01:47:55,140
I have attendees, but no hands raised for public comment

2023
01:47:55,140 --> 01:47:57,140
on item D1.

2024
01:47:57,500 --> 01:47:59,500
Any comment cards?

2025
01:48:01,340 --> 01:48:03,600
I have no comment cards.

2026
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:08,140
Anybody in the public who would like to speak on item D1?

2027
01:48:08,140 --> 01:48:10,260
I have a question.

2028
01:48:10,260 --> 01:48:15,700
And I'm just wondering if this 5 o'clock in the morning

2029
01:48:15,700 --> 01:48:20,140
start, it will have better service, maybe over to Lathrop,

2030
01:48:20,140 --> 01:48:25,540
so we can catch the early morning ACE train?

2031
01:48:26,540 --> 01:48:29,600
I think what they're asking is, Juan,

2032
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:31,560
is connection to the ACE station.

2033
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:32,320
Yes, correct.

2034
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:33,480
That's a great question.

2035
01:48:33,480 --> 01:48:35,400
And because we're starting out at 5:30,

2036
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:39,630
we're able to add one early morning shuttle to the ACE

2037
01:48:39,630 --> 01:48:40,130
train.

2038
01:48:40,130 --> 01:48:44,870
So yes, we're going to provide one more.

2039
01:48:44,870 --> 01:48:47,270
Looks like somebody's happy.

2040
01:48:48,230 --> 01:48:52,430
All right, [INAUDIBLE] come on up, sir.

2041
01:48:54,190 --> 01:48:58,990
So I appreciate city for extending the route

2042
01:49:00,430 --> 01:49:03,550
to the neighborhood so that Sierra High School

2043
01:49:03,550 --> 01:49:08,470
kids who were denied the bus service were able to use.

2044
01:49:08,470 --> 01:49:11,410
But it's on the morning route only.

2045
01:49:11,410 --> 01:49:16,700
But the evening route will take more than an hour to reach.

2046
01:49:16,700 --> 01:49:21,110
Will the new change of routes will operate in both directions

2047
01:49:21,110 --> 01:49:23,990
so that it will save time for the kids?

2048
01:49:23,990 --> 01:49:25,962
Thank you.

2049
01:49:25,962 --> 01:49:28,230
Juan, come on up.

2050
01:49:28,230 --> 01:49:31,830
I believe the school that he's mentioned is Sierra high school.

2051
01:49:31,830 --> 01:49:32,810
OK, perfect.

2052
01:49:32,810 --> 01:49:35,350
So Sierra high school is--

2053
01:49:35,350 --> 01:49:37,960
and Manteca High is one of the lucky schools

2054
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,640
because we're going to have four fixed routes in the PM

2055
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:42,400
to get them home.

2056
01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:44,000
Currently, the students at Sierra High School

2057
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,732
are really taking advantage of the transportation system.

2058
01:49:47,732 --> 01:49:49,440
Currently, they get picked up and they're

2059
01:49:49,440 --> 01:49:50,660
taken to the Transit Center.

2060
01:49:50,660 --> 01:49:54,647
And they can jump on different routes to get to their homes.

2061
01:49:54,647 --> 01:49:56,480
The only reason why we did it in the morning

2062
01:49:56,480 --> 01:50:00,680
was some communities there was a gap.

2063
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,280
A couple of south side communities

2064
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,680
didn't have the service.

2065
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:09,160
So what we did is we heard from the residents.

2066
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:11,680
And we had a tripper that gets them

2067
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:14,520
from this location like Crom up north

2068
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:16,480
and then straight to Sierra High School.

2069
01:50:16,480 --> 01:50:19,400
But on the return, Sierra has many routes

2070
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:20,800
that will pick them up.

2071
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:22,240
They can go to the Transit Center.

2072
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:24,960
And then from there, they can take whichever route.

2073
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:27,760
There is a future route 6 that could

2074
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,120
be added that will do what the gentleman here is asking, is

2075
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,480
to pick up from Sierra and then go straight

2076
01:50:33,480 --> 01:50:36,800
to the south side of Manteca.

2077
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:39,200
But there is other routes that do go south.

2078
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:41,220
It just doesn't go all the way south to,

2079
01:50:41,220 --> 01:50:45,420
for example, Griffith Park or Woodward park.

2080
01:50:45,480 --> 01:50:49,400
And I appreciate the route 5 and also appreciate

2081
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:53,000
the separate Sierra High School tripper.

2082
01:50:53,880 --> 01:51:00,480
Anybody else in the public want to speak on this item?

2083
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:05,840
OK, seeing none, I'll go ahead and bring it back to council.

2084
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:11,840
I will go ahead and close the public hearing at 8:18.

2085
01:51:14,480 --> 01:51:15,880
OK, council.

2086
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:17,880
Council Member, Halford.

2087
01:51:19,995 --> 01:51:22,995
Sounds like a good plan.

2088
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:25,840
Vice Mayor.

2089
01:51:26,292 --> 01:51:28,500
Thank you for all the work that you've put into this.

2090
01:51:28,500 --> 01:51:31,240
I know it's been a long few months

2091
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:33,930
of making sure all this information gets out there.

2092
01:51:33,930 --> 01:51:38,130
And I do appreciate the new route.

2093
01:51:39,100 --> 01:51:41,100
Council Member Breitenbucher.

2094
01:51:41,500 --> 01:51:45,210
Juan, thank you for listening to the citizens and their input

2095
01:51:45,210 --> 01:51:47,550
and implementing into the route.

2096
01:51:47,550 --> 01:51:48,770
So thank you again.

2097
01:51:48,770 --> 01:51:50,130
Welcome.

2098
01:51:50,130 --> 01:51:52,130
Council Member Morowit.

2099
01:51:52,570 --> 01:51:53,470
I appreciate it.

2100
01:51:53,470 --> 01:51:56,370
I think now we have a much more robust transportation

2101
01:51:56,370 --> 01:51:57,410
in Manteca.

2102
01:51:57,410 --> 01:51:59,170
Before people would complain.

2103
01:51:59,170 --> 01:52:01,700
And now we have kids going to schools.

2104
01:52:01,700 --> 01:52:03,590
We have more seniors involved.

2105
01:52:03,590 --> 01:52:05,578
People can get from one place to the other.

2106
01:52:05,578 --> 01:52:07,370
It used to be like an hour, hour and a half

2107
01:52:07,370 --> 01:52:09,190
sometimes to wait if you missed the bus.

2108
01:52:09,190 --> 01:52:11,610
So it's now becoming more with the Bay Area envision,

2109
01:52:11,610 --> 01:52:14,470
where we envision what the Bay Area transit has done,

2110
01:52:14,470 --> 01:52:16,470
so thank you.

2111
01:52:18,250 --> 01:52:20,290
Yeah, I'd like to say thank you, Juan.

2112
01:52:20,290 --> 01:52:22,700
Thank you for listening.

2113
01:52:22,700 --> 01:52:24,900
Thank you for also getting out there in the public

2114
01:52:24,900 --> 01:52:25,790
and sharing a lot of this information.

2115
01:52:25,790 --> 01:52:29,890
We saw you at multiple events and community events.

2116
01:52:29,890 --> 01:52:33,300
And also understanding some of the limitations

2117
01:52:33,300 --> 01:52:35,280
when it comes to school district, and the bus service,

2118
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:38,900
and making sure we're also helping and doing our part

2119
01:52:38,900 --> 01:52:42,440
in giving them access to the school.

2120
01:52:42,440 --> 01:52:45,180
And especially the south side of the community,

2121
01:52:45,180 --> 01:52:48,260
where some of the bus service is not available.

2122
01:52:48,260 --> 01:52:51,860
I'm really liking the extra services.

2123
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:56,640
And then also a lot of the south that are taking the ACE train.

2124
01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:59,220
So I like the ACE shuttle service also

2125
01:52:59,220 --> 01:53:02,560
that can transfer and switch over once ACE is done.

2126
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:04,160
So this is great.

2127
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:08,360
And I think we're truly becoming transit

2128
01:53:08,620 --> 01:53:10,840
oriented from where we started.

2129
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:11,820
We've come a long way.

2130
01:53:11,820 --> 01:53:16,580
And I feel we're going to have that route 6 probably

2131
01:53:16,580 --> 01:53:19,300
going to be coming soon in the horizon too.

2132
01:53:19,300 --> 01:53:20,640
So thank you for all your work.

2133
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,900
And with that, I'll go ahead and entertain a motion.

2134
01:53:23,900 --> 01:53:24,568
Second.

2135
01:53:24,568 --> 01:53:26,360
OK, I have a motion from Vice Mayor Lackey,

2136
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:29,360
second from Council Member Breitenbucher

2137
01:53:29,740 --> 01:53:32,780
to adopt a resolution approving the Manteca Transit Fixed-Route

2138
01:53:32,780 --> 01:53:35,780
redesign network and authorizing the implementation

2139
01:53:35,780 --> 01:53:38,360
of the proposed redesigned fixed route network.

2140
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,360
Effective October 1, 2026.

2141
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:42,180
All in favor, say aye.

2142
01:53:42,180 --> 01:53:43,600
Aye.

2143
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:43,740
Opposed?

2144
01:53:43,740 --> 01:53:45,460
Motion carries 5-0.

2145
01:53:45,460 --> 01:53:46,540
Thank you.

2146
01:53:46,540 --> 01:53:48,426
Thank you, Juan.

2147
01:53:48,426 --> 01:53:52,660
D2, to conduct a public hearing and consider an addendum

2148
01:53:52,660 --> 01:53:57,380
to the City of Manteca General Plan Update EIR prepared

2149
01:53:57,380 --> 01:54:00,980
for the batch GPA sites 1 through 4,

2150
01:54:01,540 --> 01:54:03,940
project pursuant to sections 15162

2151
01:54:05,740 --> 01:54:09,940
and 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act

2152
01:54:10,820 --> 01:54:14,600
guidelines, adopt a resolution approving General Plan

2153
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:18,740
Amendment, amending the land use designation of the project

2154
01:54:18,740 --> 01:54:22,340
parcels identified in sites 1 through 4 project

2155
01:54:24,340 --> 01:54:27,260
and waive the first reading by substitution of the title

2156
01:54:27,260 --> 01:54:29,700
and introduce an ordinance of the City

2157
01:54:29,700 --> 01:54:32,330
Council of the City of Manteca, State of California,

2158
01:54:32,330 --> 01:54:37,130
amending the zoning map set forth in Section 17.20.040

2159
01:54:39,350 --> 01:54:44,750
of chapter 17.20 of Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code

2160
01:54:45,310 --> 01:54:49,590
by rezoning the project parcels identified in sites 1 through 4

2161
01:54:49,590 --> 01:54:50,830
project.

2162
01:54:50,830 --> 01:54:56,830
Mayor and council, tonight we have a associate planner, Sol.

2163
01:54:57,150 --> 01:54:59,650
Good evening, Mayor and members of the city council.

2164
01:54:59,650 --> 01:55:01,550
My name is Sol Jobrack, associate planner

2165
01:55:01,550 --> 01:55:03,310
in development services.

2166
01:55:03,310 --> 01:55:04,970
The resolution is-- it was a mouthful.

2167
01:55:04,970 --> 01:55:08,190
I'm going to try to keep this item quicker for you all

2168
01:55:08,190 --> 01:55:09,450
to enjoy.

2169
01:55:09,450 --> 01:55:12,910
So this is a city initiated general plan amendment

2170
01:55:12,910 --> 01:55:15,190
and zoning map amendment involving four sites located

2171
01:55:15,190 --> 01:55:17,190
throughout the city.

2172
01:55:17,350 --> 01:55:20,950
The four sites total approximately 32.91 acres.

2173
01:55:21,510 --> 01:55:23,670
And the proposed amendments update the general plan

2174
01:55:23,670 --> 01:55:26,510
and zoning designations for these properties.

2175
01:55:26,510 --> 01:55:29,780
No specific developments are being approved tonight.

2176
01:55:29,780 --> 01:55:34,200
The planning commission did approve this item 5 to 0

2177
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,200
on June 18.

2178
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:41,920
The amendments are intended to maintain consistency

2179
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:44,820
between the general plan and zoning maps,

2180
01:55:44,820 --> 01:55:47,520
support future public infrastructure planning,

2181
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:52,160
and provide additional housing opportunities for the community.

2182
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,510
This slide here is proposing--

2183
01:55:54,510 --> 01:55:56,760
it compares the existing and the proposed general plan

2184
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:57,540
designations.

2185
01:55:57,540 --> 01:56:00,280
As you can see, site 1 adds a commercial area

2186
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,400
along East Bronson Road.

2187
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,400
Site 2 adjusts boundaries between a high density

2188
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:08,520
residential and a public quasi public area.

2189
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:10,280
Site 3 changes the northern portion

2190
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:13,760
from commercial to public quasi public.

2191
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:18,420
And site 4, while it's correct in the attachments tonight,

2192
01:56:18,420 --> 01:56:20,480
this does show that the PQP.

2193
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:21,500
That is not the case.

2194
01:56:21,500 --> 01:56:23,340
It is staying and remaining as commercial.

2195
01:56:23,340 --> 01:56:26,440
The only change we're proposing is the medium density

2196
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:30,900
residential along the eastern portion of that property.

2197
01:56:30,900 --> 01:56:33,100
The proposed zoning map amendments,

2198
01:56:33,100 --> 01:56:35,440
are intended to correspond with the proposed general

2199
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:36,640
plan amendments.

2200
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:40,600
A very identifying or identical to the general plan

2201
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:42,480
designations.

2202
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:46,720
Staff finds that the amendments are consistent with the 2043

2203
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:48,160
general plan.

2204
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:50,800
These changes support orderly growth, additional housing

2205
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:53,200
opportunities, public facility planning,

2206
01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:58,200
and a balanced mix of land uses throughout the city.

2207
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:02,200
An addendum to the general plan EIR was prepared.

2208
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:06,240
And staff determined that no subsequent or supplemental ER

2209
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:07,640
is required.

2210
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:11,400
Staff recommends that the city council consider the addendum,

2211
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:12,920
approve the general plan amendment

2212
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:16,160
and approve the zoning map amendment.

2213
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:17,660
That concludes staff's presentation.

2214
01:57:17,660 --> 01:57:19,827
We're happy to answer any questions if you have any.

2215
01:57:19,827 --> 01:57:21,200
Thank you.

2216
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:23,200
Thank you, Sol.

2217
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:27,130
OK, we'll go ahead-- and is there any questions from council

2218
01:57:27,130 --> 01:57:30,210
before I open up the public hearing?

2219
01:57:30,210 --> 01:57:36,810
OK, we'll go ahead and open up the public hearing at 8:25.

2220
01:57:37,330 --> 01:57:40,930
Any questions or comments on Zoom?

2221
01:57:46,490 --> 01:57:49,210
I have attendees, but no hands raised for public comment

2222
01:57:49,210 --> 01:57:51,210
on item D2.

2223
01:57:51,250 --> 01:57:52,850
OK.

2224
01:57:52,850 --> 01:57:53,650
Comment cards?

2225
01:57:53,650 --> 01:57:55,370
I have two comment cards.

2226
01:57:55,370 --> 01:57:58,370
The first one is [INAUDIBLE].

2227
01:58:03,330 --> 01:58:06,500
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, council members,

2228
01:58:06,500 --> 01:58:08,250
and the members of the public.

2229
01:58:08,250 --> 01:58:10,930
My name is [INAUDIBLE], and I am a resident concerned about

2230
01:58:10,930 --> 01:58:16,100
the proposed general plan amendment GPA 26-0052 and its

2231
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:19,650
impact on the site for proposed [INAUDIBLE] school.

2232
01:58:19,650 --> 01:58:22,650
I want to bring attention to the city's existing general plan

2233
01:58:22,650 --> 01:58:25,780
that has clear policies that require cooperation

2234
01:58:25,780 --> 01:58:29,180
with this school district to protect school sites, which

2235
01:58:29,180 --> 01:58:31,580
is the foundation for my opposition.

2236
01:58:31,580 --> 01:58:33,700
I'm here to clarify that any amendment that

2237
01:58:33,700 --> 01:58:36,260
fails to protect the school site or allows

2238
01:58:36,260 --> 01:58:38,740
incompatible development on its land

2239
01:58:38,740 --> 01:58:41,740
directly contradicts these existing policies.

2240
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,580
This land is intended to serve a public purpose, specifically

2241
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:49,940
as a future school site, as our community continues to grow.

2242
01:58:49,940 --> 01:58:52,420
The need for educational facilities

2243
01:58:52,420 --> 01:58:54,340
becomes increasingly important.

2244
01:58:54,340 --> 01:58:56,340
Once land designated for public use

2245
01:58:56,340 --> 01:58:59,200
is converted to residential or commercial development,

2246
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:01,840
it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible,

2247
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:05,140
to recover suitable land for future school construction.

2248
01:59:05,140 --> 01:59:08,740
My concern is not only the loss of the school site itself,

2249
01:59:08,740 --> 01:59:11,340
but also the long term impact of residential development

2250
01:59:11,340 --> 01:59:13,700
adjacent to the future school.

2251
01:59:13,700 --> 01:59:16,500
Residential projects can create constraints on future school

2252
01:59:16,500 --> 01:59:19,820
operations, including traffic circulation challenges, parking

2253
01:59:19,820 --> 01:59:23,420
conflicts, noise complaints, student safety concerns,

2254
01:59:23,420 --> 01:59:26,140
and limitations on future school expansion.

2255
01:59:26,140 --> 01:59:28,260
These issues can complicate and potentially

2256
01:59:28,260 --> 01:59:31,860
jeopardize the successful development of a school

2257
01:59:31,860 --> 01:59:35,180
that our community may urgently need in the near future.

2258
01:59:35,180 --> 01:59:37,380
Furthermore, approving rezoning the site

2259
01:59:37,380 --> 01:59:39,460
may provide a short-term solution

2260
01:59:39,460 --> 01:59:41,980
for housing or commercial needs while sacrificing

2261
01:59:41,980 --> 01:59:44,380
a long-term community assets.

2262
01:59:44,540 --> 01:59:46,780
Schools are critical public infrastructure that

2263
01:59:46,780 --> 01:59:49,180
serves generations of families.

2264
01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:52,840
We should be planning not only for today's need,

2265
01:59:52,840 --> 01:59:56,140
but also for the needs for our children and future residents.

2266
01:59:56,140 --> 01:59:58,140
I therefore demand the city commit

2267
01:59:58,140 --> 02:00:01,420
in writing to upholding its policies, specifically

2268
02:00:01,420 --> 02:00:04,700
policy PF-13 and PF P-32 by rejecting

2269
02:00:04,700 --> 02:00:08,180
any land use changes that would jeopardize the school site.

2270
02:00:08,180 --> 02:00:10,700
I respectfully ask the decision makers

2271
02:00:10,700 --> 02:00:12,940
to consider the lasting value of preserving

2272
02:00:12,940 --> 02:00:16,700
this land for public use and educational purposes.

2273
02:00:16,700 --> 02:00:18,600
Before approving any zoning conversion,

2274
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:21,710
the city should conduct a thorough evaluation

2275
02:00:21,710 --> 02:00:25,150
of future school needs, population growth projections,

2276
02:00:25,150 --> 02:00:26,790
and alternative sites that could serve

2277
02:00:26,790 --> 02:00:30,510
the public interest without eliminating a potential school

2278
02:00:30,510 --> 02:00:31,750
location.

2279
02:00:31,750 --> 02:00:34,230
Once the land is converted and developed,

2280
02:00:34,230 --> 02:00:38,390
the opportunity to use it for a school may be lost forever.

2281
02:00:38,390 --> 02:00:41,390
For that reason, I urge you to reject the proposed zoning

2282
02:00:41,390 --> 02:00:45,190
amendment and preserve the site for its intended public purpose.

2283
02:00:45,190 --> 02:00:47,230
In the end, I would like to reiterate

2284
02:00:47,230 --> 02:00:49,710
that I oppose any amendment that does not explicitly

2285
02:00:49,710 --> 02:00:52,750
protect the school from incompatible adjacent

2286
02:00:52,750 --> 02:00:55,805
and on its land uses or reduce land availability.

2287
02:00:55,805 --> 02:00:57,430
Thank you for your time and cooperation

2288
02:00:57,430 --> 02:01:00,110
and thanks for the opportunity to speak up.

2289
02:01:00,110 --> 02:01:02,110
Thank you.

2290
02:01:03,870 --> 02:01:04,730
Next comment card.

2291
02:01:04,730 --> 02:01:08,930
The last card I have is [INAUDIBLE].

2292
02:01:11,510 --> 02:01:14,510
Good evening, council, fellow residents.

2293
02:01:18,870 --> 02:01:22,880
This is regarding the site 2 and site 1.

2294
02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:25,280
So both are interrelated.

2295
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:30,120
And while we appreciate the increase for 2 acre

2296
02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:34,280
land for the fire station, the decrease

2297
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:41,480
of school site of 0.82 acre from PQP to HDR should be denied.

2298
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:49,960
And if city wants to use it for future use, public use,

2299
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,800
that's better for public use.

2300
02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:55,220
And if it is unable to use for public use,

2301
02:01:55,220 --> 02:01:58,820
it should be returned to MUSD.

2302
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:03,320
I'm not sure when 2 by 2 meetings with MUSD

2303
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:05,720
happens for the growth.

2304
02:02:06,440 --> 02:02:11,800
When school district says it's a surplus land

2305
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:18,280
or it's not a building that is space allocated to that 1 acre.

2306
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,880
Why did the city not stand with public

2307
02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:27,600
and ask, what about the future projection?

2308
02:02:27,600 --> 02:02:29,840
So what about the future expansion.

2309
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,640
The three schools that were proposed,

2310
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:38,240
the Lathrop had a future building and a future bus drop

2311
02:02:38,240 --> 02:02:39,720
off planning.

2312
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:45,720
Why did not city have requested for an adequate land

2313
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:47,400
to be allocated.

2314
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:53,400
Instead, it is being given to a high density residential.

2315
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:57,400
Also, there is no truth in loss of 1

2316
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,640
acre for the private developer.

2317
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:05,640
The site 1, which the city owns as an R1 zoning

2318
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:08,840
is being converted to commercial zone

2319
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:12,400
and given to the same private developer.

2320
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:17,210
The cost of the site 2 or a residential land is

2321
02:03:17,210 --> 02:03:19,610
approximately 200k to 300k.

2322
02:03:20,530 --> 02:03:26,530
So for the 1.82 acre that the private developer is giving,

2323
02:03:27,510 --> 02:03:34,500
it costs around 400k, but the site he is receiving on the 0.94

2324
02:03:34,500 --> 02:03:38,650
on the freeway exit being converted to commercial is close

2325
02:03:38,650 --> 02:03:39,790
to a million.

2326
02:03:39,790 --> 02:03:45,170
That means he has a profit of more than 500k profit.

2327
02:03:45,170 --> 02:03:47,490
City could have requested more land

2328
02:03:47,490 --> 02:03:50,810
for the exchange instead of reducing the school

2329
02:03:50,810 --> 02:03:53,810
site from PQP to HDR.

2330
02:03:54,970 --> 02:03:57,330
They could have asked 2 more acres

2331
02:03:57,330 --> 02:04:00,730
to compensate the equal value so that we

2332
02:04:00,730 --> 02:04:03,130
have enough public facilities.

2333
02:04:03,290 --> 02:04:04,450
Thank you.

2334
02:04:04,450 --> 02:04:06,850
And in that facility, there could

2335
02:04:06,850 --> 02:04:11,500
have been a community [INAUDIBLE] program that

2336
02:04:11,250 --> 02:04:15,900
can be distributed across four corners, which

2337
02:04:15,900 --> 02:04:17,160
would be of a good public use.

2338
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:19,160
Thank you.

2339
02:04:21,820 --> 02:04:23,220
That's all the cards.

2340
02:04:23,220 --> 02:04:30,420
Anybody else in the public would like to speak on item D.2?

2341
02:04:33,460 --> 02:04:36,220
OK, seeing none, I will go ahead and close the public hearing

2342
02:04:36,220 --> 02:04:38,220
at 8:32.

2343
02:04:44,600 --> 02:04:46,460
I have a question.

2344
02:04:48,220 --> 02:04:51,820
Has the school, MUSD, ever approached

2345
02:04:51,820 --> 02:04:56,540
the city regarding the site that they needed more space, they

2346
02:04:56,540 --> 02:05:01,200
didn't want to do this change or anything from the school

2347
02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:05,380
district that they need more space for their school?

2348
02:05:05,380 --> 02:05:09,600
I can defer to the director on that question.

2349
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,740
I can unequivocally say, though, the school district has not

2350
02:05:12,740 --> 02:05:16,580
made any comment about the loss of the 1 acre

2351
02:05:16,580 --> 02:05:18,940
and how it might impact their school site.

2352
02:05:18,940 --> 02:05:22,320
In fact, I can say that, in conversations with them,

2353
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:24,780
it does not jeopardize the number of students, the design

2354
02:05:24,780 --> 02:05:27,120
of the school at all.

2355
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:30,620
And that's why when we went to the settlement negotiations,

2356
02:05:30,620 --> 02:05:34,920
they were willing to transfer that 1 acre of land to the city,

2357
02:05:34,920 --> 02:05:36,220
so that we do--

2358
02:05:36,220 --> 02:05:40,660
are able to acquire the 2 acres to build the fire station.

2359
02:05:40,660 --> 02:05:43,780
And they agree with this general plan amendment?

2360
02:05:43,780 --> 02:05:46,680
We have been in communication as part of this.

2361
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:47,700
They're aware.

2362
02:05:47,700 --> 02:05:51,392
They are also taking the 1 acre donation to the state,

2363
02:05:51,392 --> 02:05:53,100
September 9th and 10th for their meeting,

2364
02:05:53,100 --> 02:05:55,200
as part of this donation to the city.

2365
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:59,340
They're aware of the change, both to the HDR piece, as well

2366
02:05:59,340 --> 02:06:01,560
as the PQP fire station site.

2367
02:06:01,560 --> 02:06:04,700
They've been involved in the conversation for some time.

2368
02:06:04,700 --> 02:06:06,700
Yeah.

2369
02:06:06,940 --> 02:06:10,380
Do you know if there's going to be a bus stop over there?

2370
02:06:10,380 --> 02:06:13,300
I am unaware if there will be a bus stop

2371
02:06:13,300 --> 02:06:14,530
or where it would be located.

2372
02:06:14,530 --> 02:06:17,700
I have not gotten into that conversation with the school

2373
02:06:17,700 --> 02:06:19,700
district.

2374
02:06:23,700 --> 02:06:26,700
All right, Council Member Morowit.

2375
02:06:29,390 --> 02:06:33,350
So basically, this is because we're not using the school site

2376
02:06:33,350 --> 02:06:37,350
and we're converting it back, is that basically the reason?

2377
02:06:37,350 --> 02:06:39,210
Well, thank you, Council Member.

2378
02:06:39,210 --> 02:06:41,510
So actually with these items, we don't consider uses.

2379
02:06:41,510 --> 02:06:44,925
So uses are a separate issue, completely separate discussion.

2380
02:06:44,925 --> 02:06:46,550
What we're trying to do is align things

2381
02:06:46,550 --> 02:06:49,130
with what potential uses could be.

2382
02:06:49,130 --> 02:06:51,650
So under PQP, it could be a list of them.

2383
02:06:51,650 --> 02:06:54,630
It just so happens that there's this stuff going

2384
02:06:54,630 --> 02:06:57,370
on in the background that's related.

2385
02:06:57,370 --> 02:06:58,410
But who knows?

2386
02:06:58,410 --> 02:07:00,470
The fire station could evaporate tomorrow.

2387
02:07:00,470 --> 02:07:02,470
And it's all PQP and could be used for a school.

2388
02:07:02,470 --> 02:07:03,510
We don't know.

2389
02:07:03,510 --> 02:07:06,510
We try to align it to be able to accommodate this project

2390
02:07:06,510 --> 02:07:08,430
or any future project.

2391
02:07:08,430 --> 02:07:10,230
For government use, basically.

2392
02:07:10,230 --> 02:07:11,900
For public use.

2393
02:07:11,900 --> 02:07:14,420
Public use, I mean, which is-- so not just for homes,

2394
02:07:14,420 --> 02:07:15,300
it's for public use.

2395
02:07:15,300 --> 02:07:19,280
It's actually an increase in that public use acreage

2396
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,200
and a decrease in residential acreage.

2397
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:22,220
That's the purpose of this?

2398
02:07:22,220 --> 02:07:27,400
And this is, like you say, to make sure it balances.

2399
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:30,340
General plans are not just-- they're just a road map.

2400
02:07:30,340 --> 02:07:31,900
They're an overlay.

2401
02:07:31,900 --> 02:07:34,142
It doesn't mean it happens, but we prepare for it

2402
02:07:34,142 --> 02:07:35,600
so that if it does, they don't have

2403
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:37,960
to go through the long process of changing it

2404
02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:39,940
again so that people know.

2405
02:07:39,940 --> 02:07:42,560
So developers, and schools, and public entities

2406
02:07:42,560 --> 02:07:44,760
know that if they use this land, it's

2407
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:48,200
already set up for, in this case, maybe for public use.

2408
02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:50,680
We don't know what dictates public use yet.

2409
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:53,560
And honestly, we want to make sure these lines are

2410
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:55,217
appropriate to what is envisioned.

2411
02:07:55,217 --> 02:07:56,800
If they're not, we could likely end up

2412
02:07:56,800 --> 02:07:58,760
with a use that's on a zoning designation that

2413
02:07:58,760 --> 02:07:59,620
isn't consistent.

2414
02:07:59,620 --> 02:08:02,120
And we've created a bigger problem.

2415
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:08,200
So it's a better road map for the city in the future.

2416
02:08:08,200 --> 02:08:08,960
I appreciate that.

2417
02:08:08,960 --> 02:08:09,460
Thank you.

2418
02:08:09,460 --> 02:08:11,460
Thank you.

2419
02:08:11,600 --> 02:08:15,800
All right, thank you, Council Member Breitenbucher.

2420
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:20,720
So Brad, there was a thing that was sent to us.

2421
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:25,520
And it had the goals that was listed.

2422
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:29,340
And so I looked it up, the general plan, right?

2423
02:08:29,340 --> 02:08:33,900
And it talks about the corps division of labor,

2424
02:08:33,900 --> 02:08:37,800
MUSD's responsibility is an independent governmental agency

2425
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:41,300
solely responsible for funding, designing, constructing,

2426
02:08:41,300 --> 02:08:43,960
and operation all public school facilities.

2427
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:46,380
City of Manteca does not build schools.

2428
02:08:46,380 --> 02:08:48,960
Instead, its role is defined in land use planning, zoning,

2429
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:51,800
and coordination to ensure there is space for the schools

2430
02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:53,200
as a community grows.

2431
02:08:53,200 --> 02:08:55,600
That's the process we're doing today.

2432
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:56,240
Correct?

2433
02:08:56,240 --> 02:08:57,720
That is part of the process.

2434
02:08:57,720 --> 02:08:58,420
We are planning.

2435
02:08:58,420 --> 02:09:01,200
I will note that the city development services and staff

2436
02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:03,440
do have quarterly meetings with the school district

2437
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:05,620
in collaboration on these topics.

2438
02:09:05,620 --> 02:09:08,720
So we are meeting to identify, not only

2439
02:09:08,720 --> 02:09:10,290
the issues with this site and how

2440
02:09:10,290 --> 02:09:12,370
we can move forward, but also others as well.

2441
02:09:12,370 --> 02:09:16,810
And then on the goals, the land allocation goal, LU-7, city

2442
02:09:16,810 --> 02:09:19,250
ensures that enough land is zoned for public and quasi

2443
02:09:19,250 --> 02:09:22,450
public use, preventing residential growth from entirely

2444
02:09:22,450 --> 02:09:25,250
crowding out space needed for future schools and parks.

2445
02:09:25,250 --> 02:09:27,100
We've met that goal.

2446
02:09:27,100 --> 02:09:27,630
Yes, we have.

2447
02:09:27,630 --> 02:09:29,930
And two of the proposed general plan amendments

2448
02:09:29,930 --> 02:09:33,370
go further in terms of adding additional public quasi public

2449
02:09:33,370 --> 02:09:36,923
or public use acreage within the city.

2450
02:09:36,923 --> 02:09:38,590
And the next one is growth coordination.

2451
02:09:38,590 --> 02:09:41,900
The city shares its population housing growth forecast

2452
02:09:41,900 --> 02:09:43,570
with MUSD, so the district can accurately

2453
02:09:43,570 --> 02:09:45,900
predict future student enrollment

2454
02:09:45,900 --> 02:09:47,630
and plan where to buy land for new campuses.

2455
02:09:47,630 --> 02:09:48,750
And we do that too, right?

2456
02:09:48,750 --> 02:09:51,308
Yes, we provide them data, if not quarterly,

2457
02:09:51,308 --> 02:09:52,850
more often as they request it so they

2458
02:09:52,850 --> 02:09:55,530
can project those student numbers.

2459
02:09:55,530 --> 02:09:58,330
And then neighborhood design goals CD 4.7.

2460
02:09:58,330 --> 02:10:00,130
The city designs urban master plan

2461
02:10:00,130 --> 02:10:03,230
so that new neighborhoods are built with central hubs,

2462
02:10:03,230 --> 02:10:05,250
ideally placing elementary schools

2463
02:10:05,250 --> 02:10:07,810
or parks within a safe half mile walking

2464
02:10:07,810 --> 02:10:09,572
distance for local families.

2465
02:10:09,572 --> 02:10:11,780
And we have been working on that in our general plan.

2466
02:10:11,780 --> 02:10:13,540
Correct, the 2024 general plan update

2467
02:10:13,540 --> 02:10:16,680
has several of those central core areas,

2468
02:10:16,680 --> 02:10:19,980
whether it's HDR, high density residential commercial.

2469
02:10:19,980 --> 02:10:24,200
PQP, they're built within that central core to that goal, yes.

2470
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:26,200
OK, thank you.

2471
02:10:26,820 --> 02:10:29,220
All right, Vice Mayor.

2472
02:10:32,900 --> 02:10:34,540
Council Member Breitenbucher, you

2473
02:10:34,540 --> 02:10:36,780
did a really good job asking all my questions.

2474
02:10:36,780 --> 02:10:37,360
Thank you.

2475
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:39,360
Welcome.

2476
02:10:40,420 --> 02:10:42,420
Council Member, Halford.

2477
02:10:44,780 --> 02:10:45,900
Pretty much, ditto.

2478
02:10:45,900 --> 02:10:48,300
They've covered it all.

2479
02:10:50,860 --> 02:10:53,260
It all make sense.

2480
02:10:53,780 --> 02:10:55,300
Obviously, there's some disagreement

2481
02:10:55,300 --> 02:11:02,540
on what some people feel on the PQP and the [INAUDIBLE] the HDR.

2482
02:11:02,540 --> 02:11:08,940
The net gain of PQP, fire station is very much needed.

2483
02:11:08,940 --> 02:11:12,840
And district is happy with [INAUDIBLE] that they have,

2484
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:14,740
in addition to the other school sites,

2485
02:11:14,740 --> 02:11:19,540
are available in the southwest portion of town.

2486
02:11:22,620 --> 02:11:25,340
The section that has been quoted,

2487
02:11:25,340 --> 02:11:29,220
the operative word in there is or, that it's

2488
02:11:29,220 --> 02:11:33,940
a park, a school, or a commercial use area that's

2489
02:11:33,940 --> 02:11:35,820
within a half a mile.

2490
02:11:35,820 --> 02:11:43,200
And I would believe that I'm not aware of any subdivisions that

2491
02:11:43,460 --> 02:11:46,420
have been built that don't have a park within a half a mile

2492
02:11:46,420 --> 02:11:48,420
walking.

2493
02:11:49,540 --> 02:11:52,000
I mean, I stand to be corrected if there are any,

2494
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:53,860
but I'm not aware of it.

2495
02:11:53,860 --> 02:11:55,360
So I'm supportive.

2496
02:11:55,360 --> 02:11:57,360
Thank you.

2497
02:11:57,380 --> 02:11:59,380
Thank you.

2498
02:11:59,740 --> 02:12:03,340
Maybe one more question regarding schools.

2499
02:12:03,780 --> 02:12:06,750
Are we the one that decides how big or large

2500
02:12:06,750 --> 02:12:10,270
a school site should be or is that a school district?

2501
02:12:10,270 --> 02:12:12,330
That's a school district decision.

2502
02:12:12,330 --> 02:12:14,470
However, we do work with them to identify

2503
02:12:14,470 --> 02:12:16,630
sites that would potentially be large enough as we go through,

2504
02:12:16,630 --> 02:12:19,130
not only the general plan update, a few years ago,

2505
02:12:19,130 --> 02:12:22,790
but also as we move forward with future annexation potential

2506
02:12:22,790 --> 02:12:23,630
sites.

2507
02:12:23,630 --> 02:12:25,830
So the school district tells us how much

2508
02:12:25,830 --> 02:12:28,390
land they potentially would need and to make

2509
02:12:28,390 --> 02:12:30,770
sure the general plan is zoned.

2510
02:12:30,770 --> 02:12:31,410
Correct?

2511
02:12:31,410 --> 02:12:33,410
Correct.

2512
02:12:36,700 --> 02:12:38,210
All right, if there's no any other questions,

2513
02:12:38,210 --> 02:12:39,370
I'll entertain a motion.

2514
02:12:39,370 --> 02:12:40,910
So moved.

2515
02:12:40,910 --> 02:12:41,950
Second

2516
02:12:41,950 --> 02:12:44,210
OK, I have a motion from Council Member Breitenbucher.

2517
02:12:44,210 --> 02:12:47,700
Second from Council Member Halford to adopt a resolution

2518
02:12:47,700 --> 02:12:49,750
approving general plan amendment amending the land use

2519
02:12:49,750 --> 02:12:53,670
designation of the project parcels identified in sites 1

2520
02:12:53,670 --> 02:12:57,470
through 4 project and waive the first reading by substitution

2521
02:12:57,470 --> 02:13:00,670
of the title and introduce an ordinance of the city council

2522
02:13:00,670 --> 02:13:02,930
and the City of Manteca, State of California,

2523
02:13:02,930 --> 02:13:07,730

2524
02:13:08,120 --> 02:13:13,440
of chapter 17.20 of Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code

2525
02:13:13,440 --> 02:13:17,480
by rezoning the project parcels identified in sites 1 through 4

2526
02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:18,580
project rezone.

2527
02:13:18,580 --> 02:13:19,680
All in favor say aye.

2528
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:20,520
Aye.

2529
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:21,360
Opposed?

2530
02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:23,360
Motion carries 5-0.

2531
02:13:23,440 --> 02:13:26,320
That takes us to D.3.

2532
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:29,440
Conduct a public hearing for the Yosemite mixed use conversion

2533
02:13:29,440 --> 02:13:33,600
batch GPA site five project and adopt a resolution

2534
02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:37,760
making the necessary findings to adopt an initial study mitigated

2535
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:41,360
negative declaration and its associated mitigation,

2536
02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:45,960
monitoring and reporting program prepared for the project,

2537
02:13:45,960 --> 02:13:50,160
adopt a resolution approving a general plan amendment,

2538
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:55,480
redesignating the project parcel identified in the batch GPA site

2539
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:58,800
5 project, and waive the first reading by substitution

2540
02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:01,560
of the title, and introduce an ordinance of the city

2541
02:14:01,560 --> 02:14:03,920
council of the City of Manteca,

2542
02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:08,800
State of California amending the zoning map set forth in Section

2543
02:14:08,800 --> 02:14:12,280
17.20.040 of chapter 17.20 of Title 17 of the Manteca

2544
02:14:16,400 --> 02:14:22,400
Municipal Code by rezoning the batch GPA site 5 parcels from

2545
02:14:23,320 --> 02:14:27,520
public quasi public planned development, light industrial,

2546
02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:33,000
and limited multiple family dwelling to the mixed use

2547
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:35,000
commercial zoning district.

2548
02:14:35,880 --> 02:14:39,480
Again, we have associate planner, Sol.

2549
02:14:40,520 --> 02:14:43,280
Mayor and members of the city council, Sol Jobrack, again,

2550
02:14:43,280 --> 02:14:45,480
speaking on this item.

2551
02:14:45,480 --> 02:14:48,960
The item before you is the Yosemite mixed use conversion

2552
02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:49,460
project.

2553
02:14:49,460 --> 02:14:51,800
We've also identified it as batch general

2554
02:14:51,800 --> 02:14:53,800
plan amendment site 5.

2555
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:57,880
This is a city initiated Amendment involving

2556
02:14:57,880 --> 02:15:01,480
approximately 22.95 acres located Southwest of Yosemite

2557
02:15:03,290 --> 02:15:05,170
and South Airport Way.

2558
02:15:05,170 --> 02:15:07,930
The project area consists of 10 parcels identified

2559
02:15:07,930 --> 02:15:10,210
on the slide is intended to establish

2560
02:15:10,210 --> 02:15:12,930
consistent general plan and zoning designations

2561
02:15:12,930 --> 02:15:14,930
throughout the project area.

2562
02:15:14,930 --> 02:15:17,970
The planning commission did consider this item at its June

2563
02:15:17,970 --> 02:15:21,570
18th meeting and recommended approval 5-0.

2564
02:15:22,410 --> 02:15:25,170
The amendment is being proposed to resolve the existing

2565
02:15:25,170 --> 02:15:28,450
inconsistencies between the general plan and zoning maps

2566
02:15:28,450 --> 02:15:31,730
and establish a unified commercial mixed use land

2567
02:15:31,730 --> 02:15:33,210
use pattern.

2568
02:15:33,210 --> 02:15:34,890
The commercial mixed use designation

2569
02:15:34,890 --> 02:15:37,970
would support future residential and commercial development

2570
02:15:37,970 --> 02:15:40,970
opportunities and encourage infill development

2571
02:15:40,970 --> 02:15:43,570
within the existing urbanized area.

2572
02:15:43,570 --> 02:15:46,290
The amendment also advances the general plan's housing

2573
02:15:46,290 --> 02:15:50,330
and economic development goals by creating greater flexibility

2574
02:15:50,330 --> 02:15:53,930
for future development of these areas.

2575
02:15:54,900 --> 02:15:56,890
This slide compares the existing and proposed general plan

2576
02:15:56,890 --> 02:15:58,570
amendments.

2577
02:15:58,570 --> 02:16:02,600
The approximate 23 acre project site area currently

2578
02:16:02,600 --> 02:16:05,638
contains several general plan designations and the cleanup

2579
02:16:05,638 --> 02:16:07,180
proposed general plan amendment would

2580
02:16:07,180 --> 02:16:10,900
designate the entire project as commercial mixed use.

2581
02:16:10,900 --> 02:16:14,100
This would create one consistent land use designation

2582
02:16:14,100 --> 02:16:16,100
across all parcels.

2583
02:16:17,700 --> 02:16:19,960
This here is the zoning map amendment.

2584
02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:23,260
It compares the existing and proposed zoning designations.

2585
02:16:23,260 --> 02:16:26,340
This is to correspond with the proposed general plan

2586
02:16:26,340 --> 02:16:29,340
designations from the previous slide.

2587
02:16:29,820 --> 02:16:33,100
Staff did evaluate the proposed amendments for consistency

2588
02:16:33,100 --> 02:16:36,379
with the 2043 general plan and found that the proposed

2589
02:16:36,379 --> 02:16:38,379
amendments are in the public's interest

2590
02:16:38,379 --> 02:16:41,979
and consistent with the general plan.

2591
02:16:42,420 --> 02:16:45,620
Staff recommends that the city council conduct a public hearing

2592
02:16:45,620 --> 02:16:47,160
and take the following actions.

2593
02:16:47,160 --> 02:16:49,379
First, we ask that you adopt the initial study,

2594
02:16:49,379 --> 02:16:51,620
and mitigated negative declaration,

2595
02:16:51,620 --> 02:16:54,219
and the associated mitigation, monitoring and reporting

2596
02:16:54,219 --> 02:16:54,722
program.

2597
02:16:54,722 --> 02:16:57,180
Second, we ask that you approve the general plan amendment,

2598
02:16:57,180 --> 02:16:59,180
GPA 26-0039.

2599
02:16:59,260 --> 02:17:02,340
And finally, third, we ask that you approve the zoning map

2600
02:17:02,340 --> 02:17:04,740
amendment rezone application 26-0039.

2601
02:17:06,780 --> 02:17:08,320
This concludes staff's presentation.

2602
02:17:08,320 --> 02:17:10,860
We're happy to answer any questions if you have any.

2603
02:17:10,860 --> 02:17:13,420
All right, thank you for that.

2604
02:17:13,420 --> 02:17:15,500
Any questions or comments from council

2605
02:17:15,500 --> 02:17:19,100
before I open a public hearing?

2606
02:17:19,180 --> 02:17:25,780
OK, we'll go ahead and open up the public hearing at 8:44.

2607
02:17:25,900 --> 02:17:28,300
Any questions on Zoom?

2608
02:17:35,340 --> 02:17:37,940
I have attendees, but no hands raised for public comment

2609
02:17:37,940 --> 02:17:39,379
for item D.3.

2610
02:17:39,379 --> 02:17:41,379
Any comment cards?

2611
02:17:41,700 --> 02:17:42,820
I have no comment.

2612
02:17:42,820 --> 02:17:49,420
Anybody in the public would like to speak on item D.3?

2613
02:17:51,590 --> 02:17:54,139
OK, seeing none, we'll go ahead and bring it back.

2614
02:17:54,139 --> 02:17:56,539
Closing public hearing at 8:45.

2615
02:18:00,270 --> 02:18:07,990
All right, question on this one, I guess, I have real quick is,

2616
02:18:07,990 --> 02:18:13,990
you have some zoning that changed from PQP to CMU?

2617
02:18:14,587 --> 02:18:16,170
Mayor, thank you for bringing that up.

2618
02:18:16,170 --> 02:18:17,712
Assistant city manager Jorgensen just

2619
02:18:17,712 --> 02:18:22,512
mentioned that we do show two parcels, 24130067 and 24130071.

2620
02:18:25,102 --> 02:18:27,830
one under the ownership of SSJID and the other

2621
02:18:27,830 --> 02:18:29,950
under the ownership of the city.

2622
02:18:29,950 --> 02:18:32,930
I don't believe that was staff's intent to make that change.

2623
02:18:32,930 --> 02:18:37,300
And we'd request city council approve amended resolutions that

2624
02:18:37,300 --> 02:18:38,790
exclude those two parcels, as well as

2625
02:18:38,790 --> 02:18:41,350
the ordinance doing the same.

2626
02:18:41,350 --> 02:18:43,350
All right.

2627
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:48,760
People may not like that.

2628
02:18:50,150 --> 02:18:52,150
23067.

2629
02:18:55,629 --> 02:19:01,290
So the 7.39 acres of PQP is going to remain?

2630
02:19:01,719 --> 02:19:05,919
Parcel ending in 71 and 67 would remain PQP.

2631
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,600
Is that where our future potential Milo Candini

2632
02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:10,822
would be coming through?

2633
02:19:10,822 --> 02:19:12,280
I don't know to that, but I do know

2634
02:19:12,280 --> 02:19:14,680
that's part of the wastewater treatment plant

2635
02:19:14,680 --> 02:19:17,800
facilities at that location.

2636
02:19:22,840 --> 02:19:27,520
And that was not part of the planning commission, those two

2637
02:19:27,520 --> 02:19:28,219
parcels?

2638
02:19:28,219 --> 02:19:29,886
That was part of the planning commission

2639
02:19:29,886 --> 02:19:31,600
recommendation to city council.

2640
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:34,780
So the PQP was in there switching to CMU?

2641
02:19:34,780 --> 02:19:35,500
It was.

2642
02:19:35,500 --> 02:19:37,500
OK, all right.

2643
02:19:38,840 --> 02:19:39,700
Good, yeah.

2644
02:19:39,700 --> 02:19:41,520
We're going to leave it.

2645
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:43,520
A good catch.

2646
02:19:43,799 --> 02:19:47,800
OK, I'll go back to council if any other questions.

2647
02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:50,680
I'll start with Council Member Halford.

2648
02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:54,600
Not now.

2649
02:19:56,600 --> 02:19:58,600
Vice Mayor.

2650
02:20:00,280 --> 02:20:03,400
No, you can't go there yet.

2651
02:20:03,400 --> 02:20:04,880
Just remember Morowit.

2652
02:20:04,880 --> 02:20:07,160
So basically, we had just a mix of everything

2653
02:20:07,160 --> 02:20:08,980
on there-- existing mixed use commercial.

2654
02:20:08,980 --> 02:20:11,380
We had multiple family.

2655
02:20:11,920 --> 02:20:13,460
We had some PQP industrial.

2656
02:20:13,460 --> 02:20:17,260
So now, we're just going to make it all one mixed use, CMU.

2657
02:20:17,260 --> 02:20:17,760
Correct?

2658
02:20:17,760 --> 02:20:18,720
That's correct.

2659
02:20:18,720 --> 02:20:21,320
And the purpose of that was what we

2660
02:20:21,320 --> 02:20:23,600
feel what we want to have there in the city that's

2661
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:24,440
consistent with--

2662
02:20:24,440 --> 02:20:25,260
It is consistent.

2663
02:20:25,260 --> 02:20:26,840
We do have development applications

2664
02:20:26,840 --> 02:20:29,600
in on one of those parcels currently

2665
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:32,800
that is a clean-- this is actually part of a cleanup

2666
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:35,920
that we need to do for that project as well.

2667
02:20:35,920 --> 02:20:37,340
So yes, it's consistent.

2668
02:20:37,340 --> 02:20:42,520
We believe it's best for the city and best for that location.

2669
02:20:42,520 --> 02:20:44,360
Once again, we have an applicant?

2670
02:20:44,360 --> 02:20:45,560
Yes.

2671
02:20:45,560 --> 02:20:47,560
[INAUDIBLE]

2672
02:20:47,820 --> 02:20:51,160
I believe the applicant, the project that we're working

2673
02:20:51,160 --> 02:20:55,730
on that has [INAUDIBLE] for a second has gone through planning

2674
02:20:55,730 --> 02:20:57,450
commission or we--

2675
02:20:57,450 --> 02:20:59,490
no it has not.

2676
02:20:59,490 --> 02:21:00,530
Mayor and council.

2677
02:21:00,530 --> 02:21:04,100
The specific projects are still under review pending tonight's

2678
02:21:04,100 --> 02:21:05,730
action.

2679
02:21:05,730 --> 02:21:07,130
Thank you.

2680
02:21:07,130 --> 02:21:09,130
Very good.

2681
02:21:13,500 --> 02:21:14,770
You Good, Council Member Morowit?

2682
02:21:14,770 --> 02:21:16,770
I'm good.

2683
02:21:17,130 --> 02:21:19,700
Yeah, no, I appreciate this cleanup.

2684
02:21:19,700 --> 02:21:22,330
I also appreciate the consistency with CMU

2685
02:21:22,330 --> 02:21:26,570
and actually also eliminating industrial in that area.

2686
02:21:26,570 --> 02:21:29,100
Just with the changes with fez and all the things

2687
02:21:29,100 --> 02:21:31,930
that are going to be happening around there.

2688
02:21:31,930 --> 02:21:36,210
We definitely don't need that type of use.

2689
02:21:36,210 --> 02:21:39,530
So I think CMU is more consistent with things

2690
02:21:39,530 --> 02:21:43,130
to the east and the south.

2691
02:21:44,900 --> 02:21:47,290
So with that, I do like this change

2692
02:21:47,290 --> 02:21:50,190
and look forward to seeing that project move forward also

2693
02:21:50,190 --> 02:21:52,500
when it comes.

2694
02:21:52,500 --> 02:21:53,380
I'll entertain a motion.

2695
02:21:53,380 --> 02:21:57,580
I'll make the motion to amend 24130067 and 71

2696
02:22:01,660 --> 02:22:06,260
to leave them as PQP and accept the other CMU.

2697
02:22:06,260 --> 02:22:07,820
I'll second.

2698
02:22:07,820 --> 02:22:10,740
So we have a motion from council member Breitenbucher

2699
02:22:10,740 --> 02:22:15,480
and a second from Vice Mayor Lackey to do the PQP,

2700
02:22:15,480 --> 02:22:18,740
leaving it at PQP for 067 and 071,

2701
02:22:18,740 --> 02:22:21,620
and adopt a resolution making the necessary findings to adopt

2702
02:22:21,620 --> 02:22:26,380
an initial study mitigated neg deck and its associated

2703
02:22:26,380 --> 02:22:29,900
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting program prepared

2704
02:22:29,900 --> 02:22:32,940
for the project, adopt a resolution approving a general

2705
02:22:32,940 --> 02:22:36,420
plan amendment redesignation, the project parcel identified

2706
02:22:36,420 --> 02:22:40,100
in the batch GPA site 5 project and waive the first reading

2707
02:22:40,100 --> 02:22:42,380
by substitution of Title and introduce an ordinance

2708
02:22:42,380 --> 02:22:45,160
of the city council of the City Of Manteca, State of California,

2709
02:22:45,160 --> 02:22:49,960
amending the zoning map set forth in Section 17.20.040

2710
02:22:50,460 --> 02:22:55,350
of chapter 17.20 of Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code

2711
02:22:55,350 --> 02:22:59,230
by rezoning the batch GPA site by project parcels from public

2712
02:22:59,230 --> 02:23:01,230
quasi--

2713
02:23:02,310 --> 02:23:05,790
planned development, light industrial, and limited multiple

2714
02:23:05,790 --> 02:23:10,870
family dwelling to the mixed use commercial zoning district.

2715
02:23:10,870 --> 02:23:12,230
All in favor, say aye.

2716
02:23:12,230 --> 02:23:13,550
Aye.

2717
02:23:13,550 --> 02:23:14,110
Opposed?

2718
02:23:14,110 --> 02:23:15,910
Motion carries 5-0.

2719
02:23:15,910 --> 02:23:18,310
Hopefully you got that.

2720
02:23:21,990 --> 02:23:23,990
All right.

2721
02:23:25,390 --> 02:23:27,270
OK, we'll move on to D.4.

2722
02:23:27,270 --> 02:23:30,510
Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving

2723
02:23:30,510 --> 02:23:33,510
amendment number 2 for the engineering and traffic

2724
02:23:33,510 --> 02:23:36,390
survey for speed limits, waive the first reading

2725
02:23:36,390 --> 02:23:37,730
by substitution of a title.

2726
02:23:37,730 --> 02:23:41,300
And introduce an ordinance of the city council of the City

2727
02:23:41,300 --> 02:23:45,270
of Manteca, State of California, amending Manteca Municipal Code

2728
02:23:45,270 --> 02:23:47,670
10, vehicles and traffic chapter 10.12,

2729
02:23:49,890 --> 02:23:53,490
speed limit section 10.12.020, designated and authorizing

2730
02:23:57,190 --> 02:24:00,230
the city manager or designee to take all appropriate actions

2731
02:24:00,230 --> 02:24:03,150
necessary to carry out the purpose and intent

2732
02:24:03,150 --> 02:24:04,770
of the resolution.

2733
02:24:04,770 --> 02:24:08,750
Mayor and council, tonight, we have Senior Engineer Beshoy.

2734
02:24:08,750 --> 02:24:11,190
Good evening, Mayor and council members.

2735
02:24:11,190 --> 02:24:14,910
This public hearing is to reduce the speed limit

2736
02:24:14,910 --> 02:24:19,700
on Crom Street between Airport Way and Union Road

2737
02:24:19,700 --> 02:24:21,700
from 35 to 30.

2738
02:24:21,230 --> 02:24:24,590
California Vehicle Code give local jurisdictions

2739
02:24:24,590 --> 02:24:30,590
authority to run a traffic and engineering survey to complete

2740
02:24:31,710 --> 02:24:33,230
this reduction.

2741
02:24:33,230 --> 02:24:38,630
When we received concern from public regarding current speed

2742
02:24:38,830 --> 02:24:44,230
limit on Crom Street, we investigated the roadway element

2743
02:24:46,150 --> 02:24:49,800
such as land use, public transit,

2744
02:24:49,800 --> 02:24:52,680
pedestrian and public facilities, crash rate,

2745
02:24:52,980 --> 02:24:58,380
which was lower than similar corridors in the state.

2746
02:25:00,240 --> 02:25:05,400
We also reviewed five years of collision history.

2747
02:25:06,120 --> 02:25:10,320
And we have 0 fatalities on this corridor.

2748
02:25:11,120 --> 02:25:17,720
We have only one collision in July, 2024 with a severe injury.

2749
02:25:19,400 --> 02:25:22,400
And it was between motorcycle and a vehicle.

2750
02:25:22,400 --> 02:25:25,260
And was a primary contributing factor

2751
02:25:25,260 --> 02:25:30,000
and defining as unsafe speed from the motorcycle.

2752
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:33,960
We also looked at free flow vehicles.

2753
02:25:33,960 --> 02:25:39,360
We collected samples of 128 vehicle speed under free flow.

2754
02:25:41,960 --> 02:25:46,760
And we gathered-- we calculated the 85th percentile.

2755
02:25:47,530 --> 02:25:53,530
The 85th percentile is the speed which our observed vehicle,

2756
02:25:53,690 --> 02:25:58,490
85% of them, were at or below that speed.

2757
02:25:59,900 --> 02:26:01,750
15% are higher than that speed.

2758
02:26:01,750 --> 02:26:06,350
85th percentile for Crom Street on this study,

2759
02:26:06,350 --> 02:26:09,100
it was 37 mile per hour.

2760
02:26:09,100 --> 02:26:12,530
We rounded to the nearest 5, which is 35.

2761
02:26:12,530 --> 02:26:17,900
And because of its proximity to the school,

2762
02:26:17,900 --> 02:26:20,690
and the residential frontage, and also

2763
02:26:21,100 --> 02:26:24,100
the one severe collision, engineering

2764
02:26:24,730 --> 02:26:27,730
is recommending to reduce from 35

2765
02:26:28,500 --> 02:26:31,770
to take another five mile per hour reduction

2766
02:26:31,770 --> 02:26:34,770
from 35 to 30 mile per hour.

2767
02:26:39,610 --> 02:26:45,100
And that's also supported by California Vehicle Code section

2768
02:26:46,130 --> 02:26:48,130
22358.6b.

2769
02:26:50,690 --> 02:26:53,650
Staff does recommend reducing the speed limit

2770
02:26:53,650 --> 02:26:55,770
to 30 miles per hour.

2771
02:26:55,770 --> 02:26:56,590
Thank you.

2772
02:26:56,590 --> 02:26:58,590
Any questions?

2773
02:26:59,490 --> 02:27:01,490
All right.

2774
02:27:02,130 --> 02:27:04,330
Any questions from council before I open up

2775
02:27:04,330 --> 02:27:06,330
the public hearing?

2776
02:27:07,890 --> 02:27:14,900
OK, we'll go ahead and open up the public hearing at 8:54.

2777
02:27:14,900 --> 02:27:16,900
Anybody on Zoom?

2778
02:27:23,185 --> 02:27:27,250
I have attendees on Zoom, but no hands raised for public comment

2779
02:27:27,250 --> 02:27:29,250
for item D.4.

2780
02:27:29,810 --> 02:27:31,810
Any comment cards?

2781
02:27:32,370 --> 02:27:34,900
I have no comments.

2782
02:27:34,900 --> 02:27:37,290
Anybody like to speak on item D.4?

2783
02:27:37,290 --> 02:27:39,690
Come on up, sir.

2784
02:27:39,730 --> 02:27:41,730
Just one first.

2785
02:27:42,570 --> 02:27:47,120
I am all for reducing that to 30 miles an hour,

2786
02:27:47,120 --> 02:27:48,980
I think would be a lot safer.

2787
02:27:48,980 --> 02:27:50,980
Thank you.

2788
02:28:01,860 --> 02:28:03,160
Hello, council members.

2789
02:28:03,160 --> 02:28:04,280
I'm Raymond Gedney.

2790
02:28:04,280 --> 02:28:08,480
I live on Crom Street at Foxfire.

2791
02:28:08,500 --> 02:28:12,300
We moved there approximately 2 and 1/2 years ago.

2792
02:28:12,300 --> 02:28:15,900
And as a retired traffic sergeant,

2793
02:28:15,980 --> 02:28:19,420
I noticed the excessive speed on that street

2794
02:28:19,420 --> 02:28:21,820
and the dangerous condition.

2795
02:28:21,900 --> 02:28:27,300
Dangerous condition being foot traffic to and from school,

2796
02:28:27,420 --> 02:28:28,860
dog walkers.

2797
02:28:28,860 --> 02:28:32,620
There's a lot of pedestrian traffic out there.

2798
02:28:32,620 --> 02:28:36,540
I've been working with the engineering department

2799
02:28:36,540 --> 02:28:39,540
on getting that speed reduced.

2800
02:28:39,620 --> 02:28:44,270
And also the housing on the other side of airport

2801
02:28:44,270 --> 02:28:47,270
contributed to the traffic there.

2802
02:28:47,350 --> 02:28:51,590
I worked with them and tried to get it down

2803
02:28:51,590 --> 02:28:53,590
to 25 suggested speed.

2804
02:28:55,470 --> 02:29:00,270
Eventually, I turned in a traffic calming form

2805
02:29:01,310 --> 02:29:03,310
requesting 25.

2806
02:29:04,230 --> 02:29:07,230
About two months ago, a month and a half

2807
02:29:07,230 --> 02:29:10,830
ago, I received an email regarding--

2808
02:29:11,510 --> 02:29:13,510
from the engineering department.

2809
02:29:13,510 --> 02:29:15,550
And they stated that they were going

2810
02:29:15,550 --> 02:29:20,190
to make a recommendation to council to reduce it to 25.

2811
02:29:20,190 --> 02:29:23,910
Well, I was ecstatic about that because that's

2812
02:29:23,910 --> 02:29:28,110
my main goal is to slow down the traffic there.

2813
02:29:28,110 --> 02:29:32,390
And then I think it was about a week ago, a week and a half

2814
02:29:32,390 --> 02:29:35,270
ago, in the evening, I got an email

2815
02:29:35,270 --> 02:29:38,350
from the engineering department that they modified it

2816
02:29:38,350 --> 02:29:40,190
to 30 miles an hour.

2817
02:29:40,190 --> 02:29:42,190
I don't agree with that.

2818
02:29:42,190 --> 02:29:44,630
I don't think 5 miles an hour is going to make much

2819
02:29:44,630 --> 02:29:47,670
of a difference on that street.

2820
02:29:47,670 --> 02:29:50,670
There's also the Assembly Bill 1014,

2821
02:29:51,830 --> 02:29:55,590
which was passed this year, which has increased the amount

2822
02:29:55,590 --> 02:30:02,190
that a local jurisdiction can reduce the speed from the 85th

2823
02:30:03,700 --> 02:30:06,670
percentile, which is 37 miles an hour.

2824
02:30:07,870 --> 02:30:14,470
It is my viewpoint that the speed can be reduced to 25

2825
02:30:15,110 --> 02:30:21,230
and also rounded off down to 25, according to the Assembly Bill.

2826
02:30:21,230 --> 02:30:23,950
So I'm referring you to the Assembly Bill.

2827
02:30:23,950 --> 02:30:29,270
And I received no information from the engineering department

2828
02:30:29,270 --> 02:30:32,870
or the traffic committee that there

2829
02:30:33,550 --> 02:30:37,750
was going to be any consideration regarding

2830
02:30:37,910 --> 02:30:39,910
that Assembly Bill.

2831
02:30:40,230 --> 02:30:45,720
So I urge the council to pass it for a 25 miles per hour speed

2832
02:30:45,720 --> 02:30:51,720
limit there and reduce the school zone to 20 miles hour.

2833
02:30:53,520 --> 02:30:55,000
So that's my case.

2834
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:58,160
Mr. Gedney, a question for you.

2835
02:30:58,160 --> 02:31:00,140
When you submitted the traffic calming,

2836
02:31:00,140 --> 02:31:05,260
did you ever submit to get speed bumps, humps, lumps on Crom

2837
02:31:05,260 --> 02:31:07,460
or you just asked for a reduction in speed limit?

2838
02:31:07,460 --> 02:31:10,840
What happened is about a year and a half ago,

2839
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:16,840
I turned in the traffic calming form requesting speed bumps.

2840
02:31:18,200 --> 02:31:20,400
And I was advised that they're not allowable

2841
02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:23,480
for a 35 mile per hour zone.

2842
02:31:23,480 --> 02:31:26,800
I wasn't aware of that.

2843
02:31:26,800 --> 02:31:28,720
But that was the last request I made for it.

2844
02:31:28,720 --> 02:31:34,120
And now, I get the notification regarding this reduction

2845
02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:37,520
to 30 miles per hour.

2846
02:31:37,520 --> 02:31:43,490
And then I also got a form with this regarding the speed lumps.

2847
02:31:43,490 --> 02:31:45,170
I looked at the form.

2848
02:31:45,170 --> 02:31:48,690
And I'm not too happy with the wording on the form

2849
02:31:48,690 --> 02:31:50,850
because I was looking at it and it

2850
02:31:50,850 --> 02:31:54,170
said-- one of the questions for the person

2851
02:31:54,170 --> 02:32:00,730
to sign up on Crom Street is, would you like speed lumps

2852
02:32:00,730 --> 02:32:02,570
in front of your house?

2853
02:32:02,570 --> 02:32:05,850
And I don't think that's an appropriate question

2854
02:32:05,850 --> 02:32:07,490
on that petition, because I think

2855
02:32:07,490 --> 02:32:13,290
it's going to slant the response or the reaction of someone

2856
02:32:13,290 --> 02:32:16,290
possibility of signing a petition.

2857
02:32:16,610 --> 02:32:20,810
I think that's a negative inappropriate wording

2858
02:32:21,250 --> 02:32:23,250
on that form.

2859
02:32:23,330 --> 02:32:29,770
And also another question is, are you the owner of the house?

2860
02:32:29,770 --> 02:32:33,970
I think that's irrelevant as far as--

2861
02:32:34,500 --> 02:32:36,230
what does it matter who owns the house?

2862
02:32:36,230 --> 02:32:38,650
It's who's living in that house.

2863
02:32:38,650 --> 02:32:41,100
Because there is a significant number

2864
02:32:41,100 --> 02:32:43,850
of renters on that street.

2865
02:32:43,850 --> 02:32:47,330
So I have a problem with the wording on that form.

2866
02:32:47,330 --> 02:32:49,610
And I've actually have two friends

2867
02:32:49,610 --> 02:32:53,810
that have approved areas for speed lumps.

2868
02:32:54,300 --> 02:32:56,930
And I'm going to show them that form to make sure

2869
02:32:56,930 --> 02:33:02,330
that it's consistent with what they dealt with before.

2870
02:33:03,530 --> 02:33:04,490
Thank you, sir.

2871
02:33:04,490 --> 02:33:06,490
You're welcome.

2872
02:33:07,770 --> 02:33:13,170
Anybody else would like to speak on this item?

2873
02:33:19,868 --> 02:33:22,410
OK, seeing none, I will go ahead and close the public hearing

2874
02:33:22,410 --> 02:33:24,410
at 9 o'clock.

2875
02:33:26,210 --> 02:33:29,810
OK, a couple questions I have.

2876
02:33:30,890 --> 02:33:37,490
First of all, Mr. Gedney brought up the fact of AB 1014.

2877
02:33:37,900 --> 02:33:39,260
Can you explain that one?

2878
02:33:39,260 --> 02:33:41,260
Yes, sure.

2879
02:33:42,580 --> 02:33:49,180
The California Vehicle Code, the new law does provide the ability

2880
02:33:49,420 --> 02:33:53,620
to reduce the 85th percentile by 12.4mph.

2881
02:33:55,380 --> 02:33:58,800
So to take it to 25 miles per hour,

2882
02:33:58,800 --> 02:34:01,860
we could be using additional lowering the speed

2883
02:34:01,860 --> 02:34:04,180
by 5 miles per hour.

2884
02:34:04,180 --> 02:34:06,100
But unfortunately, and that's why

2885
02:34:06,100 --> 02:34:09,220
we had to correct that email that Mr. Gedney was

2886
02:34:09,220 --> 02:34:11,220
talking about.

2887
02:34:11,780 --> 02:34:15,220
That five mile per hour extra reduction

2888
02:34:15,220 --> 02:34:18,820
comes with a very restriction requirements.

2889
02:34:20,100 --> 02:34:24,140
Reading from California Vehicle Codes and the California

2890
02:34:24,140 --> 02:34:27,740
[INAUDIBLE], it has to be one--

2891
02:34:27,980 --> 02:34:31,180
it has to meet the following two requirements.

2892
02:34:31,180 --> 02:34:32,580
Safety corridor.

2893
02:34:32,580 --> 02:34:34,580
And the definition of safety corridor

2894
02:34:34,580 --> 02:34:39,950
is a safety corridor that shall be defined as a roadway segment

2895
02:34:39,950 --> 02:34:43,110
with an overall roadway network, where the highest

2896
02:34:43,110 --> 02:34:47,310
number of serious injury and fatality crashes

2897
02:34:47,910 --> 02:34:49,910
acquire guidance.

2898
02:34:51,390 --> 02:34:53,790
Jurisdiction should use three or five

2899
02:34:53,790 --> 02:34:56,390
years on the most recent crash data

2900
02:34:56,390 --> 02:34:59,390
to determine a safety corridor.

2901
02:34:59,550 --> 02:35:02,310
For crashes cover, safety corridor

2902
02:35:02,310 --> 02:35:08,190
may be defined as a subset of an overall roadway network, where

2903
02:35:08,190 --> 02:35:14,190
a minimum of 25% or fatality or serious injury crash acquire.

2904
02:35:14,990 --> 02:35:19,190
And unfortunately, we don't have engineer bases

2905
02:35:19,390 --> 02:35:24,830
to define Crom Street as meeting this kind of requirement.

2906
02:35:24,830 --> 02:35:27,950
The second requirement is a land or facility

2907
02:35:27,950 --> 02:35:31,550
that generates high concentration of bicycle

2908
02:35:32,390 --> 02:35:33,710
and pedestrian.

2909
02:35:33,710 --> 02:35:36,730
So we have the school and we have the bike lane.

2910
02:35:36,730 --> 02:35:37,990
Totally agree.

2911
02:35:37,990 --> 02:35:41,590
But it adds that following requirement

2912
02:35:41,750 --> 02:35:44,590
and meet the following condition.

2913
02:35:44,590 --> 02:35:48,190
Crash data demonstrate a high segment

2914
02:35:48,310 --> 02:35:52,590
is within the top 20% of pedestrian and bicycle

2915
02:35:52,590 --> 02:35:56,490
fatalities or serious injury over the three or five years.

2916
02:35:56,490 --> 02:35:59,610
We looked at the five years and we couldn't find that,

2917
02:35:59,610 --> 02:36:03,510
so we couldn't find a engineer basis

2918
02:36:03,510 --> 02:36:09,510
to give the speed limit as a 25 mile per hour.

2919
02:36:11,990 --> 02:36:17,230
Listen, I mean, we all know that speed limits establish

2920
02:36:17,230 --> 02:36:22,630
at or near 85th percentile provides the law enforcement

2921
02:36:22,790 --> 02:36:28,450
an appropriate level for citing drivers who travel at speed

2922
02:36:28,450 --> 02:36:32,650
consider reasonable for-- consider by majority that

2923
02:36:34,120 --> 02:36:36,280
it's reasonable to get cited.

2924
02:36:36,280 --> 02:36:42,880
So if you look also at the data in the presentation--

2925
02:36:45,600 --> 02:36:49,800
if we go to 25 miles per hour, 98%

2926
02:36:52,800 --> 02:36:56,520
of the people that we observed in that sample

2927
02:36:56,520 --> 02:36:58,400
will be violators.

2928
02:36:58,400 --> 02:37:01,220
So we couldn't move forward with 25 mile per hour.

2929
02:37:01,220 --> 02:37:03,220
And we recommend 30.

2930
02:37:04,800 --> 02:37:10,560
OK, next question I have is, is reduction in speed

2931
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,360
a common traffic calming process that we

2932
02:37:14,360 --> 02:37:18,160
use when it comes to our traffic calming application?

2933
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:20,360
So the traffic calming application

2934
02:37:20,360 --> 02:37:23,360
is serving the speed lumps.

2935
02:37:24,960 --> 02:37:29,160
And what we told-- what we affirm

2936
02:37:31,950 --> 02:37:36,110
the resident is that when we reduce it to 30 mile per hour,

2937
02:37:36,110 --> 02:37:39,930
we will be able to add the speed lumps on Crom

2938
02:37:39,930 --> 02:37:43,570
because previously, it was rejected because it

2939
02:37:43,570 --> 02:37:45,610
was a 35 mile per hour.

2940
02:37:45,610 --> 02:37:50,550
But now, with a 30 mile per hour, near the 85th percentile,

2941
02:37:50,550 --> 02:37:53,500
I can add the speed lump.

2942
02:37:53,500 --> 02:37:55,770
So if this gets approved tonight,

2943
02:37:55,770 --> 02:37:58,250
speed lump sums, whatever it is, will

2944
02:37:58,250 --> 02:38:00,150
be a possibility for that road?

2945
02:38:00,150 --> 02:38:05,550
Yes, we already approached Mr. Gedney with that application.

2946
02:38:06,100 --> 02:38:09,100
And we told him you can start the petition and align

2947
02:38:09,100 --> 02:38:13,100
with while we are trying to reduce the speed.

2948
02:38:13,100 --> 02:38:17,810
And regarding the question, are you the owner

2949
02:38:18,100 --> 02:38:23,500
or are you OK with having the speed lump in front

2950
02:38:23,500 --> 02:38:26,210
of your house and the question application,

2951
02:38:26,210 --> 02:38:31,490
we run through so many lessons learned that we go and put it

2952
02:38:31,490 --> 02:38:32,790
in front of somebody's house.

2953
02:38:32,790 --> 02:38:34,570
And they come during construction

2954
02:38:34,570 --> 02:38:36,850
and say, no, we don't want it here.

2955
02:38:36,850 --> 02:38:43,500
So from lesson learned from many years, we had to ask the people,

2956
02:38:43,500 --> 02:38:45,650
are we going to put a speed lump in front of you

2957
02:38:45,650 --> 02:38:46,990
or a sign in front of you?

2958
02:38:46,990 --> 02:38:48,210
Are you OK with that?

2959
02:38:48,210 --> 02:38:52,330
I mean, street already have seen so many signs.

2960
02:38:52,330 --> 02:38:55,500
If when people are not happy, they just remove the sign

2961
02:38:55,500 --> 02:38:56,900
and throw it away.

2962
02:38:56,900 --> 02:38:57,610
They just pull it up.

2963
02:38:57,610 --> 02:39:01,730
So we just trying to be proactive

2964
02:39:01,730 --> 02:39:04,658
when we are asking those questions to the residents.

2965
02:39:04,658 --> 02:39:06,450
And are those questions consistent with all

2966
02:39:06,450 --> 02:39:07,870
of our other applications?

2967
02:39:07,870 --> 02:39:08,710
Yes, definitely.

2968
02:39:08,710 --> 02:39:15,530
And you see how many speed lumps we have around the town.

2969
02:39:15,530 --> 02:39:18,650
If we have a serious speed issue,

2970
02:39:18,650 --> 02:39:23,950
I definitely think that this question will get people happy.

2971
02:39:23,950 --> 02:39:26,450
Yes, I want it here in front of my house

2972
02:39:26,450 --> 02:39:30,500
because I have a speed issue.

2973
02:39:34,700 --> 02:39:37,100
Vice Mayor, go ahead.

2974
02:39:37,820 --> 02:39:40,700
OK, so I wanted to go first because this is actually

2975
02:39:40,700 --> 02:39:42,600
a really important topic for me.

2976
02:39:42,600 --> 02:39:44,220
I used to live on Crom Street.

2977
02:39:44,220 --> 02:39:46,420
I lived on Crom Street for 10 years.

2978
02:39:46,420 --> 02:39:50,340
I raised my kids from infants to 10 years old

2979
02:39:50,340 --> 02:39:51,860
and a little bit older.

2980
02:39:51,860 --> 02:39:56,900
And I can tell you firsthand that this street is an issue.

2981
02:39:56,900 --> 02:39:58,720
People go speeding down the street.

2982
02:39:58,720 --> 02:40:01,920
I've had my neighbor's house almost get hit.

2983
02:40:01,920 --> 02:40:03,620
The only reason it did not get hit

2984
02:40:03,620 --> 02:40:05,680
is because there was a tree in front of it.

2985
02:40:05,680 --> 02:40:07,700
And it slammed into the tree.

2986
02:40:07,700 --> 02:40:11,300
We've had our mailbox taken out.

2987
02:40:11,900 --> 02:40:15,980
I've had cars hit that were parked on the side

2988
02:40:15,980 --> 02:40:19,600
because people speed through Crom Street.

2989
02:40:19,600 --> 02:40:21,460
And it's gotten worse.

2990
02:40:23,200 --> 02:40:28,330
What I don't understand is it was at 35 miles an hour

2991
02:40:28,330 --> 02:40:30,570
because half of the street is a golf course.

2992
02:40:30,570 --> 02:40:36,690
And a few years back, part of that street was a farm.

2993
02:40:36,690 --> 02:40:39,190
I lived directly across the street from the farm.

2994
02:40:39,190 --> 02:40:40,670
Now, it's all housing.

2995
02:40:40,670 --> 02:40:44,770
And Crom now extends to the other side of airport.

2996
02:40:44,770 --> 02:40:49,270
So we have kids that are walking down this residential street

2997
02:40:49,270 --> 02:40:52,550
to get to a school that has access

2998
02:40:52,550 --> 02:40:55,990
to the school on Crom Street.

2999
02:40:55,990 --> 02:41:00,300
Every other neighborhood per the California DMV, their speed

3000
02:41:00,300 --> 02:41:01,950
limit is 25.

3001
02:41:01,950 --> 02:41:05,550
This street is a residential street.

3002
02:41:05,550 --> 02:41:09,190
We have high density on both ends of Crom Street

3003
02:41:09,190 --> 02:41:11,970
from Union on that end.

3004
02:41:11,970 --> 02:41:13,390
We have the apartments.

3005
02:41:13,390 --> 02:41:15,950
And we have the high density--

3006
02:41:15,950 --> 02:41:16,570
what are they?

3007
02:41:16,570 --> 02:41:17,490
They're not condos.

3008
02:41:17,490 --> 02:41:20,210
Townhouses on the other side.

3009
02:41:20,210 --> 02:41:22,170
We now have all that new housing.

3010
02:41:22,170 --> 02:41:25,490
And all those kids are walking their way to school,

3011
02:41:25,490 --> 02:41:27,110
riding their bikes to school.

3012
02:41:27,110 --> 02:41:30,710
It is a high density street.

3013
02:41:30,710 --> 02:41:34,590
And a lot of families can't allow their kids

3014
02:41:34,590 --> 02:41:40,150
to be out front of their house because there is racing going on

3015
02:41:40,150 --> 02:41:41,310
down that street.

3016
02:41:41,310 --> 02:41:44,710
Now, there's been a lot of mitigation over the years trying

3017
02:41:44,710 --> 02:41:47,900
to keep it from going so fast.

3018
02:41:47,900 --> 02:41:50,590
43 miles an hour down that street is ridiculous.

3019
02:41:50,590 --> 02:41:52,830
That should not be OK.

3020
02:41:52,830 --> 02:41:56,230
And that should not be part of this factoring of your 87th

3021
02:41:56,230 --> 02:41:57,910
percentile.

3022
02:41:57,910 --> 02:42:01,230
Yeah, you're going to have 98% of violators.

3023
02:42:01,230 --> 02:42:02,190
Guess what?

3024
02:42:02,190 --> 02:42:05,470
At that point, maybe we get some traffic control

3025
02:42:05,470 --> 02:42:09,470
and we ticket every single one of them

3026
02:42:09,470 --> 02:42:13,700
for racing down a residential street.

3027
02:42:17,150 --> 02:42:19,150
I have talked to Mr. Gedney.

3028
02:42:19,150 --> 02:42:24,230
And I had said, do the petition for the speed

3029
02:42:24,230 --> 02:42:27,120
lumps because that will slow them down to 15 miles

3030
02:42:27,120 --> 02:42:28,880
an hour going over these speed bumps.

3031
02:42:28,880 --> 02:42:30,400
I don't know why we don't already

3032
02:42:30,400 --> 02:42:33,720
have them because it is a school district.

3033
02:42:33,720 --> 02:42:37,800
We have three entrances to Stella Brockman.

3034
02:42:37,800 --> 02:42:39,220
We have one on Silverado.

3035
02:42:39,220 --> 02:42:40,460
We have one on Crom.

3036
02:42:40,460 --> 02:42:44,720
And then I can't recall the other street.

3037
02:42:44,720 --> 02:42:47,760
Because that's a new policy we just created.

3038
02:42:47,760 --> 02:42:51,580
Well, I understand that, but what I'm saying is,

3039
02:42:51,580 --> 02:42:52,900
this is a residential street.

3040
02:42:52,900 --> 02:42:54,960
We have kids accessing that school

3041
02:42:54,960 --> 02:42:57,200
from three different points.

3042
02:42:57,200 --> 02:43:00,280
All three of those points need to be treated just

3043
02:43:00,280 --> 02:43:03,900
like all of our other schools under this new policy

3044
02:43:03,900 --> 02:43:05,300
and receive those speed lumps.

3045
02:43:05,300 --> 02:43:08,640
There shouldn't be a question to that.

3046
02:43:08,640 --> 02:43:12,480
But I haven't been on that street for 10 years.

3047
02:43:12,480 --> 02:43:14,840
I moved to the other side of town

3048
02:43:14,840 --> 02:43:17,280
where my kids could play in the front yard.

3049
02:43:17,280 --> 02:43:20,980
This street has always been an issue.

3050
02:43:20,980 --> 02:43:23,720
When I lived there, I asked for speed lumps.

3051
02:43:23,720 --> 02:43:27,470
At that time, speed lumps were not a standard in Manteca.

3052
02:43:27,470 --> 02:43:30,130
I was told that they could not happen.

3053
02:43:30,130 --> 02:43:31,450
And it never did.

3054
02:43:31,450 --> 02:43:35,690
So we had two cars totaled in front of my house

3055
02:43:35,690 --> 02:43:38,500
because people were speeding.

3056
02:43:38,500 --> 02:43:41,500
Like I said, we had our post office box

3057
02:43:41,500 --> 02:43:46,900
knocked out for months because, obviously, it takes time.

3058
02:43:46,900 --> 02:43:47,870
They have the curve in the street.

3059
02:43:47,870 --> 02:43:49,550
It does not slow them down.

3060
02:43:49,550 --> 02:43:51,270
They've put up stop signs.

3061
02:43:51,270 --> 02:43:52,790
It does not slow them down.

3062
02:43:52,790 --> 02:43:54,950
They've put up lights on those stop signs.

3063
02:43:54,950 --> 02:43:56,730
It does not slow them down.

3064
02:43:56,730 --> 02:43:59,130
We have at least put a sidewalk on the other side

3065
02:43:59,130 --> 02:44:00,322
by the golf course.

3066
02:44:00,322 --> 02:44:02,530
But the golf course, the fact that that's not housing

3067
02:44:02,530 --> 02:44:04,490
should not be a factor in this.

3068
02:44:04,490 --> 02:44:08,170
We have greatly increased the number of children using

3069
02:44:08,170 --> 02:44:10,890
the street, so I am in favor.

3070
02:44:10,890 --> 02:44:13,290
It's a residential street.

3071
02:44:13,410 --> 02:44:14,530
Plain and simple.

3072
02:44:14,530 --> 02:44:17,530
Residential streets are zoned at 25.

3073
02:44:17,650 --> 02:44:20,410
So I would be in favor of the 25.

3074
02:44:20,410 --> 02:44:22,450
And then you get people out there

3075
02:44:22,450 --> 02:44:24,330
to go after those violators.

3076
02:44:24,330 --> 02:44:25,610
They'll catch on.

3077
02:44:25,610 --> 02:44:28,590
They'll go 25, and they'll treat it as a true residential street

3078
02:44:28,590 --> 02:44:30,450
because right now, it's just being treated

3079
02:44:30,450 --> 02:44:32,250
as a highway, a thoroughfare.

3080
02:44:32,250 --> 02:44:33,350
And that's not OK.

3081
02:44:33,350 --> 02:44:34,690
That is not Louise.

3082
02:44:34,690 --> 02:44:36,270
That is not Moffat.

3083
02:44:36,270 --> 02:44:39,500
That is not Lathrop road.

3084
02:44:39,500 --> 02:44:39,870
It's Crom.

3085
02:44:39,870 --> 02:44:42,970
It's a residential street in the middle of our neighborhood.

3086
02:44:42,970 --> 02:44:44,970
So I apologize.

3087
02:44:45,130 --> 02:44:47,870
This is a very touchy subject because like I said,

3088
02:44:47,870 --> 02:44:50,700
I raised my kids on that street.

3089
02:44:50,700 --> 02:44:53,210
And I know exactly what these people are going through.

3090
02:44:53,210 --> 02:44:56,370
And it's been long overdue for something

3091
02:44:56,370 --> 02:44:57,830
to be done about the street.

3092
02:44:57,830 --> 02:44:59,450
Definitely, I just want to mention

3093
02:44:59,450 --> 02:45:03,290
that we do have a 25 mile per hour

3094
02:45:03,290 --> 02:45:05,930
when children are present signs.

3095
02:45:05,930 --> 02:45:09,310
And we are here tonight to continue to improve it.

3096
02:45:09,310 --> 02:45:12,750
This is not the last thing we're going to do at Crom.

3097
02:45:12,750 --> 02:45:15,210
And this is not the first thing we did at Crom.

3098
02:45:15,210 --> 02:45:18,370
Crom we did, as you mentioned, the new sidewalk

3099
02:45:18,370 --> 02:45:19,870
on the south side of Crom.

3100
02:45:19,870 --> 02:45:24,670
We had now continuous sidewalk for the children

3101
02:45:24,740 --> 02:45:25,920
going to the school.

3102
02:45:25,920 --> 02:45:30,180
And we did observe that this sidewalk is used heavily

3103
02:45:30,180 --> 02:45:31,980
now from those children.

3104
02:45:31,980 --> 02:45:34,780
And bike lane on both sides.

3105
02:45:34,780 --> 02:45:39,100
And we updated all the ADA curb ramp on that street.

3106
02:45:39,100 --> 02:45:43,660
And we put flashing stop sign on all the stop

3107
02:45:43,660 --> 02:45:45,380
sign on Crom Street.

3108
02:45:45,380 --> 02:45:50,180
And we also installed high visibility yellow crosswalk

3109
02:45:51,420 --> 02:45:54,240
on all the crosswalk there.

3110
02:45:54,240 --> 02:45:56,380
And all the crosswalks are controlled.

3111
02:45:56,380 --> 02:45:58,220
We totally understand.

3112
02:45:58,220 --> 02:46:00,620
And as I said--

3113
02:46:00,760 --> 02:46:03,520
Why is this not being treated as a true residential?

3114
02:46:03,520 --> 02:46:04,440
It's a collector.

3115
02:46:04,440 --> 02:46:05,880
It's a major collector.

3116
02:46:05,880 --> 02:46:07,560
It's a residential street.

3117
02:46:07,560 --> 02:46:09,340
We have people that live on that street

3118
02:46:09,340 --> 02:46:11,980
and we have access to a school there.

3119
02:46:11,980 --> 02:46:16,500
It needs to be treated as a true residential street.

3120
02:46:16,500 --> 02:46:18,400
So just like all the other residents,

3121
02:46:18,400 --> 02:46:20,200
it's 25 miles an hour.

3122
02:46:20,200 --> 02:46:23,710
I don't see any difference between the two.

3123
02:46:23,710 --> 02:46:27,510
Yeah, from engineering basis, I don't have a backup

3124
02:46:27,510 --> 02:46:30,350
to put it to 25, but--

3125
02:46:30,350 --> 02:46:32,710
So I have a question for you on that.

3126
02:46:32,710 --> 02:46:39,310
If you change it to 25 and people are going 30 or whatever,

3127
02:46:39,990 --> 02:46:41,990
is it enforceable?

3128
02:46:42,870 --> 02:46:46,470
I believe the police did put--

3129
02:46:46,830 --> 02:46:48,842
If the data doesn't show--

3130
02:46:48,842 --> 02:46:50,550
Yeah, I think Police Chief would probably

3131
02:46:50,550 --> 02:46:53,990
like to chime in at this point.

3132
02:46:53,990 --> 02:46:55,970
It has to deal with the-- well, that's loud.

3133
02:46:55,970 --> 02:47:01,150
It has to deal with the 80th percentile and having a radar

3134
02:47:01,150 --> 02:47:02,810
survey that supports that.

3135
02:47:02,810 --> 02:47:05,810
And so if it's dropped to 25 miles per hour,

3136
02:47:05,810 --> 02:47:09,990
you're not able to enforce speed via radar by law.

3137
02:47:09,990 --> 02:47:13,950
And so it would have to be a bumper piece, at 25.

3138
02:47:13,950 --> 02:47:16,910
If they're going there, you can't sit on the street and run

3139
02:47:16,910 --> 02:47:18,910
radar.

3140
02:47:20,670 --> 02:47:22,570
At 25 miles an hour speed limit?

3141
02:47:22,570 --> 02:47:24,570
25 miles an hour.

3142
02:47:25,470 --> 02:47:29,390
So at this point, we spend money on 30 mile an hour

3143
02:47:29,390 --> 02:47:33,670
signs, get more data, and then spend more money to make

3144
02:47:33,670 --> 02:47:35,330
it a true residential street.

3145
02:47:35,330 --> 02:47:37,950
Is that what I'm hearing?

3146
02:47:37,950 --> 02:47:40,470
Because that seems kind of backwards to me.

3147
02:47:40,470 --> 02:47:43,700
You're saying regarding the speed lumps?

3148
02:47:43,700 --> 02:47:46,310
I'm saying in regards to the speed limit.

3149
02:47:46,310 --> 02:47:48,710
You make it 30 miles an hour.

3150
02:47:48,710 --> 02:47:52,350
You spend money to change the signs.

3151
02:47:52,350 --> 02:47:56,110
And then the residents request more data

3152
02:47:56,110 --> 02:47:59,870
to show that these people still are not doing what

3153
02:47:59,870 --> 02:48:01,750
they're supposed to be doing.

3154
02:48:01,750 --> 02:48:05,470
And they continue to request 25 miles an hour.

3155
02:48:05,470 --> 02:48:09,550
And then we spend more money to go through this whole process

3156
02:48:09,550 --> 02:48:11,230
again.

3157
02:48:11,230 --> 02:48:12,870
I don't understand why it's not being

3158
02:48:12,870 --> 02:48:16,700
treated as a true residential neighborhood.

3159
02:48:16,700 --> 02:48:19,400
It used to be on the outer limits of Villa Ticino.

3160
02:48:19,400 --> 02:48:25,640
It is no longer on the outer limits of Villa Ticino.

3161
02:48:26,560 --> 02:48:29,420
Make it make sense to me because it doesn't make sense.

3162
02:48:29,420 --> 02:48:31,560
It is a residential street.

3163
02:48:31,560 --> 02:48:34,920
It's no different than any other residential street,

3164
02:48:34,920 --> 02:48:37,860
other than the fact that it has school access.

3165
02:48:37,860 --> 02:48:39,700
Not all residential streets do.

3166
02:48:39,700 --> 02:48:40,940
It has school access.

3167
02:48:40,940 --> 02:48:44,580
You have the foot traffic and the kids there.

3168
02:48:44,580 --> 02:48:48,320
So why wouldn't we be proactive and make it

3169
02:48:48,320 --> 02:48:51,920
what it needs to be now.

3170
02:48:52,960 --> 02:48:55,340
Yeah, once we collected the 85th percentile,

3171
02:48:55,340 --> 02:48:59,820
I'm not sure where to go from here.

3172
02:48:59,820 --> 02:49:02,600
Yeah, maybe if I could jump in, Vice Mayor.

3173
02:49:02,600 --> 02:49:05,340
So from an engineering standpoint,

3174
02:49:05,340 --> 02:49:08,800
we have essentially criteria that we

3175
02:49:08,800 --> 02:49:11,980
have to meet when we do these engineering and traffic surveys.

3176
02:49:11,980 --> 02:49:14,340
And when you look at a street like Crom Street,

3177
02:49:14,340 --> 02:49:17,140
while there are residents fronting it

3178
02:49:17,140 --> 02:49:19,570
and you do have the golf course on the South side,

3179
02:49:19,570 --> 02:49:22,490
it is what we call a collector street, meaning,

3180
02:49:22,490 --> 02:49:25,130
it's not just the folks who live on that street that

3181
02:49:25,130 --> 02:49:27,890
are driving to get out of their neighborhood.

3182
02:49:27,890 --> 02:49:31,290
Unlike, like a Foxfire, say, or a Greenview.

3183
02:49:31,290 --> 02:49:34,830
So this is a lot more cut through traffic, if you will.

3184
02:49:34,830 --> 02:49:37,950
And that's why it's a higher classification of roadway.

3185
02:49:37,950 --> 02:49:40,570
If you were to look at-- typically, when

3186
02:49:40,570 --> 02:49:43,850
you get into the nitty gritty of traffic analysis,

3187
02:49:43,850 --> 02:49:46,910
a typical home will generate approximately 10 trips a day.

3188
02:49:46,910 --> 02:49:48,270
And that's a one way trip.

3189
02:49:48,270 --> 02:49:51,330
So if you run to the store, that's two trips kind of thing.

3190
02:49:51,330 --> 02:49:56,570
So when we look at a street, like a Foxfire or Greenview,

3191
02:49:56,570 --> 02:49:58,530
they are generating the number of trips

3192
02:49:58,530 --> 02:50:02,530
that would be in that range, so to speak, from those houses

3193
02:50:02,530 --> 02:50:03,300
there.

3194
02:50:03,300 --> 02:50:06,730
You're not getting much more in the way of additional traffic

3195
02:50:06,730 --> 02:50:09,470
running through those streets, unlike Crom,

3196
02:50:09,470 --> 02:50:11,610
because it does have that connection to both Union

3197
02:50:11,610 --> 02:50:12,550
and Airport.

3198
02:50:12,550 --> 02:50:14,155
You're getting a lot more traffic.

3199
02:50:14,155 --> 02:50:15,530
You're getting the school traffic

3200
02:50:15,530 --> 02:50:18,748
from people beyond just the immediate neighborhood.

3201
02:50:18,748 --> 02:50:20,290
And you're getting people that that's

3202
02:50:20,290 --> 02:50:23,730
just another way because you've either got Louise to the north

3203
02:50:23,730 --> 02:50:25,530
or you've got Yosemite to the south.

3204
02:50:25,530 --> 02:50:27,130
And Crom's right in between.

3205
02:50:27,130 --> 02:50:29,190
So you do get those additional volumes.

3206
02:50:29,190 --> 02:50:31,570
And that's why I think, historically, it

3207
02:50:31,570 --> 02:50:34,370
has had a higher speed limit like 35.

3208
02:50:34,370 --> 02:50:38,210
And that's where we're trying to work within the limits

3209
02:50:38,210 --> 02:50:40,750
that we have from an engineering standpoint.

3210
02:50:40,750 --> 02:50:43,110
When we put out the tubes and we measure the speeds,

3211
02:50:43,110 --> 02:50:46,290
we measure the volumes, and then we look at the other criteria

3212
02:50:46,290 --> 02:50:49,810
to come up with what can we be defensible as,

3213
02:50:49,810 --> 02:50:53,450
and what can we provide for PD to enforce the speed

3214
02:50:53,450 --> 02:50:58,900
limit rather than just jump to what people would like it to be,

3215
02:50:58,900 --> 02:51:00,510
in this case, 25 miles an hour.

3216
02:51:00,510 --> 02:51:03,730
And so it is a bit of an incremental step, if you will.

3217
02:51:03,730 --> 02:51:07,530
But now, if we can get approval on the 30 miles an hour here

3218
02:51:07,530 --> 02:51:11,610
and if there is consensus amongst the neighborhood

3219
02:51:11,610 --> 02:51:14,410
to get the speed lumps, I think you will see that speed

3220
02:51:14,410 --> 02:51:16,540
drop because as you noted, there's

3221
02:51:16,540 --> 02:51:18,420
been a lot of incremental things that we've

3222
02:51:18,420 --> 02:51:20,880
done to try to get people to slow down.

3223
02:51:20,880 --> 02:51:22,640
And we have been somewhat successful.

3224
02:51:22,640 --> 02:51:25,100
You are going to always get that 15%.

3225
02:51:25,100 --> 02:51:27,640
Those are the people that are going to speed no matter what.

3226
02:51:27,640 --> 02:51:31,800
And that's why you have speed limits set at 85th percentile

3227
02:51:31,800 --> 02:51:34,660
because you're always going to get some of those outliers,

3228
02:51:34,660 --> 02:51:36,300
if you will.

3229
02:51:36,300 --> 02:51:39,480
But anyway, so if we can get it down to 30 now

3230
02:51:39,480 --> 02:51:42,400
and if the neighborhood supports the speed limits,

3231
02:51:42,400 --> 02:51:44,220
I think you'll see the speeds drop.

3232
02:51:44,220 --> 02:51:46,180
But it is an incremental process and we

3233
02:51:46,180 --> 02:51:48,822
have to work within the limits that we're given.

3234
02:51:48,822 --> 02:51:49,780
So for the California--

3235
02:51:49,780 --> 02:51:51,530
What's the time frame that we'd be looking

3236
02:51:51,530 --> 02:51:53,140
at for those speed lumps?

3237
02:51:53,140 --> 02:51:53,720
I'm sorry?

3238
02:51:53,720 --> 02:51:55,540
What's the time frame if--

3239
02:51:55,540 --> 02:51:57,940
he was to get the approval for the speed lumps, what's

3240
02:51:57,940 --> 02:52:00,720
the time frame that he's looking at,

3241
02:52:00,720 --> 02:52:03,420
that that neighborhood is looking at?

3242
02:52:03,420 --> 02:52:09,420
Once he submits a petition, probably four to six months.

3243
02:52:12,620 --> 02:52:14,510
City attorney, is there anything that

3244
02:52:14,510 --> 02:52:19,910
states I can't go out there and door knock?

3245
02:52:20,590 --> 02:52:22,300
For what?

3246
02:52:22,300 --> 02:52:23,270
For signatures.

3247
02:52:23,270 --> 02:52:23,790
For?

3248
02:52:23,790 --> 02:52:24,870
Speed lumps.

3249
02:52:24,870 --> 02:52:27,750
Yeah, no, I mean, they're saying once you get--

3250
02:52:27,750 --> 02:52:28,610
I understand.

3251
02:52:28,610 --> 02:52:31,350
I'm asking the city attorney, is there anything that says that I

3252
02:52:31,350 --> 02:52:35,710
cannot go out with Mr. Gedney and ask the neighbors on Crom

3253
02:52:35,710 --> 02:52:38,110
Street to sign that paper.

3254
02:52:38,110 --> 02:52:43,830
You're a resident like any other person in the city.

3255
02:52:43,830 --> 02:52:45,950
I think speed lumps should--

3256
02:52:45,950 --> 02:52:47,670
OK, thank you.

3257
02:52:47,670 --> 02:52:50,730
So once we do get an application, hopefully,

3258
02:52:50,730 --> 02:52:54,990
and it's approved, then it falls in with all of our other speed

3259
02:52:54,990 --> 02:52:56,990
lump requests.

3260
02:52:58,500 --> 02:53:00,500
Correct.

3261
02:53:02,110 --> 02:53:04,510
Anything else, Vice Mayor?

3262
02:53:05,270 --> 02:53:07,270
Thank you.

3263
02:53:07,630 --> 02:53:11,270
Council Member Halford, you know anything about speed trailers

3264
02:53:11,270 --> 02:53:14,270
and speed bumps and speeding?

3265
02:53:15,610 --> 02:53:17,610
Maybe.

3266
02:53:19,550 --> 02:53:21,450
Crom Street, when it was first built,

3267
02:53:21,450 --> 02:53:23,430
did not extend all the way to Airport.

3268
02:53:23,430 --> 02:53:27,300
It is a wide, straight street.

3269
02:53:27,150 --> 02:53:30,470
And there has historically been some speeding issues there.

3270
02:53:30,470 --> 02:53:32,510
I'm not sure what the original speed limit on it

3271
02:53:32,510 --> 02:53:37,310
was 25 years ago, whenever it was first built.

3272
02:53:39,310 --> 02:53:41,230
There were no sidewalks.

3273
02:53:41,230 --> 02:53:44,590
There are no sidewalks on parts of it, which was by design.

3274
02:53:44,590 --> 02:53:47,350
That's a rural estate zone there.

3275
02:53:47,350 --> 02:53:52,150
That's what people wanted and what people purchased

3276
02:53:52,390 --> 02:53:55,390
when they moved in there.

3277
02:53:56,750 --> 02:53:59,250
As a result of speeding complaints many years ago,

3278
02:53:59,250 --> 02:54:00,790
the little--

3279
02:54:00,790 --> 02:54:04,110
I don't know what you call that little divot that got put in,

3280
02:54:04,110 --> 02:54:08,950
that there was not sufficient room to make a roundabout

3281
02:54:08,950 --> 02:54:11,320
or to put an island in the middle of it.

3282
02:54:11,320 --> 02:54:17,920
Because when people get on the street, the line of sight,

3283
02:54:18,760 --> 02:54:19,860
there's no obstruction.

3284
02:54:19,860 --> 02:54:21,660
So it's easy to get up to speed.

3285
02:54:21,660 --> 02:54:26,257
So that was the purpose of that little divot that got put in.

3286
02:54:26,257 --> 02:54:27,840
After that, there's been a couple stop

3287
02:54:27,840 --> 02:54:31,400
signs that have been put in, which

3288
02:54:31,400 --> 02:54:33,400
are not good for speed control.

3289
02:54:33,400 --> 02:54:36,200
All it does is slow them down for the 150 feet on either side

3290
02:54:36,200 --> 02:54:38,880
of it, and create dust and noise issues,

3291
02:54:38,880 --> 02:54:43,280
and create stop sign violations, which is the same thing with

3292
02:54:43,280 --> 02:54:44,960
85th percentile.

3293
02:54:44,960 --> 02:54:47,960
That historically has been gauged

3294
02:54:48,320 --> 02:54:52,920
to be what is a safe speed because people normally

3295
02:54:52,920 --> 02:54:57,800
drive a safe speed for condition, which is what 22350

3296
02:54:57,800 --> 02:54:59,800
of the Vehicle Code says is you have to drive

3297
02:54:59,800 --> 02:55:01,800
what's [INAUDIBLE] condition.

3298
02:55:02,500 --> 02:55:05,680
The code also defines what a prima facie residential street

3299
02:55:05,680 --> 02:55:07,320
is.

3300
02:55:07,320 --> 02:55:08,980
It's been out of business for 18 years.

3301
02:55:08,980 --> 02:55:10,780
I don't remember the exact criteria,

3302
02:55:10,780 --> 02:55:13,160
but I don't think Crom Street meets that definition.

3303
02:55:13,160 --> 02:55:15,520
I think you have to have houses on both sides

3304
02:55:15,520 --> 02:55:17,800
for a certain distance.

3305
02:55:17,800 --> 02:55:18,920
Two lane road.

3306
02:55:18,920 --> 02:55:22,480
It has to be a certain density of houses within an x number.

3307
02:55:22,480 --> 02:55:27,600
And I would be surprised if Crom meets that definition for prima

3308
02:55:27,600 --> 02:55:31,400
facie 25, which means you have to justify a 25 mile an hour

3309
02:55:31,400 --> 02:55:35,240
speed limit based on the traffic safety and engineering study.

3310
02:55:35,240 --> 02:55:38,960
One crash in five years, now, you

3311
02:55:38,960 --> 02:55:40,960
cited several but more than five years ago

3312
02:55:40,960 --> 02:55:44,480
is not going to justify a reduction of speed limit,

3313
02:55:44,480 --> 02:55:47,840
particularly when it did not involve a pedestrian.

3314
02:55:47,840 --> 02:55:49,380
There is an existing school zone.

3315
02:55:49,380 --> 02:55:53,580
Does anybody know what the start and end zone points are,

3316
02:55:53,580 --> 02:55:54,840
the school zone?

3317
02:55:54,840 --> 02:55:56,840
500 feet.

3318
02:55:57,240 --> 02:55:59,320
500 feet from the limit of the school.

3319
02:55:59,320 --> 02:56:03,520
So that exists now, at 25, whenever there are children

3320
02:56:03,520 --> 02:56:05,520
present.

3321
02:56:07,400 --> 02:56:13,490
The other issue is if you set a speed limit that's lower

3322
02:56:13,490 --> 02:56:16,190
than what people perceive to be safe,

3323
02:56:16,190 --> 02:56:18,500
they're going to violate it.

3324
02:56:18,500 --> 02:56:22,850
It's going to happen because of human nature.

3325
02:56:24,850 --> 02:56:30,570
They're going to drive what they perceive to be safe.

3326
02:56:30,570 --> 02:56:34,100
I mean, I take that road quite a bit.

3327
02:56:34,100 --> 02:56:35,550
I don't drive 35 on it.

3328
02:56:35,550 --> 02:56:41,610
I drive about 30 miles an hour when I go down Crom Street.

3329
02:56:41,610 --> 02:56:44,530
If there are kids going to and from school,

3330
02:56:44,530 --> 02:56:46,530
obviously I'm driving 25.

3331
02:56:49,990 --> 02:56:51,570
I understand Mr. Gedney's position.

3332
02:56:51,570 --> 02:56:55,170
And he bought a house there.

3333
02:56:55,890 --> 02:56:58,500
Maybe he didn't realize the traffic that

3334
02:56:58,500 --> 02:56:59,390
was on there when he bought it.

3335
02:56:59,390 --> 02:57:03,330
He wants to sit in his front yard and enjoy the view,

3336
02:57:03,330 --> 02:57:06,930
have his grandkids play out front.

3337
02:57:08,100 --> 02:57:09,780
And he doesn't think that's safe to do

3338
02:57:09,780 --> 02:57:13,580
and doesn't appreciate the traffic that's on there.

3339
02:57:13,580 --> 02:57:15,800
I'm not sure what the traffic count is on.

3340
02:57:15,800 --> 02:57:17,860
I think I saw it on there, 2,500?

3341
02:57:17,860 --> 02:57:19,860
Around that, yeah.

3342
02:57:20,380 --> 02:57:21,125
Per day.

3343
02:57:21,125 --> 02:57:23,500
Obviously, it's concentrated in the morning and afternoon

3344
02:57:23,500 --> 02:57:24,580
when school's in session.

3345
02:57:24,580 --> 02:57:30,220
It would be nice if the traffic officers, when school's

3346
02:57:30,220 --> 02:57:33,580
in session, they could be out there working a little radar.

3347
02:57:33,580 --> 02:57:38,980
Encourage people to drive the 25 in the school zone.

3348
02:57:39,980 --> 02:57:45,620
I would be hesitant to put 25 miles an hour on Crom.

3349
02:57:45,620 --> 02:57:50,900
This going to encourage people to violate the speed zone.

3350
02:57:50,900 --> 02:57:56,300
And the history of crashes just doesn't justify it.

3351
02:58:00,580 --> 02:58:03,580
All right, Council Member Breitenbucher.

3352
02:58:07,435 --> 02:58:11,350
How do you follow that one?

3353
02:58:11,780 --> 02:58:13,860
No, I think the speed that they've come up with

3354
02:58:13,860 --> 02:58:16,940
is fine, as far as the form.

3355
02:58:16,940 --> 02:58:19,220
If you're filling out the form and you're not

3356
02:58:19,220 --> 02:58:21,940
willing to say that you want speed bumps in front

3357
02:58:21,940 --> 02:58:24,700
of your house, why are you filling it out?

3358
02:58:24,700 --> 02:58:28,500
You're expecting others to do what you don't want to.

3359
02:58:28,500 --> 02:58:30,800
I think it is a good question.

3360
02:58:30,800 --> 02:58:32,500
It shouldn't be a surprise.

3361
02:58:32,500 --> 02:58:36,900
And as far as the ownership, yes, if you're a renter,

3362
02:58:36,900 --> 02:58:39,300
that can cause problems.

3363
02:58:40,180 --> 02:58:41,500
Yeah, I'm OK with this.

3364
02:58:41,500 --> 02:58:42,840
I think it's reasonable.

3365
02:58:42,840 --> 02:58:45,140
And we can also do the speed bumps now.

3366
02:58:45,140 --> 02:58:46,380
So I think we're good.

3367
02:58:46,380 --> 02:58:47,820
Thank you.

3368
02:58:47,820 --> 02:58:49,820
Council Member Morowit.

3369
02:58:49,860 --> 02:58:52,200
Maybe I can ask the police chief to clarify

3370
02:58:52,200 --> 02:58:55,200
what a school zone is.

3371
02:58:55,180 --> 02:58:56,320
We hear it all the time.

3372
02:58:56,320 --> 02:58:58,620
What does it actually mean?

3373
02:58:58,620 --> 02:59:01,200
A school zone is--

3374
02:59:01,100 --> 02:59:04,100
it's marked out in certain areas near schools

3375
02:59:04,100 --> 02:59:06,300
within 500 feet of the school.

3376
02:59:06,300 --> 02:59:09,430
And it says when children are present--

3377
02:59:09,430 --> 02:59:13,490
and the Vehicle Code states that when children are present,

3378
02:59:13,490 --> 02:59:19,410
there can't be a barrier between them and where they're at.

3379
02:59:19,410 --> 02:59:24,110
For instance, here, just because school is in session

3380
02:59:24,110 --> 02:59:26,110
doesn't mean it's 25.

3381
02:59:27,310 --> 02:59:29,570
Children are present, but by the Vehicle Code,

3382
02:59:29,570 --> 02:59:32,670
there's a barrier because it has a cyclone fence.

3383
02:59:32,670 --> 02:59:35,150
And so it doesn't count as children are present.

3384
02:59:35,150 --> 02:59:39,670
Similar, we have them like by Sequoyah School and other areas

3385
02:59:39,670 --> 02:59:43,190
where children are present or Northgate

3386
02:59:43,190 --> 02:59:45,350
is a good one with Neil Hafley, where it just

3387
02:59:45,350 --> 02:59:49,230
has those like a little pylon with a chain.

3388
02:59:49,230 --> 02:59:50,790
That's a barrier.

3389
02:59:50,790 --> 02:59:55,170
And so if they're in that park playing, there's a barrier.

3390
02:59:55,170 --> 02:59:57,290
So it doesn't count as when children are present.

3391
02:59:57,290 --> 02:59:59,710
And so it's when they're walking--

3392
02:59:59,710 --> 03:00:02,550
to protect them when they're walking to and from school

3393
03:00:02,550 --> 03:00:04,800
because there's no barrier there.

3394
03:00:04,800 --> 03:00:06,440
Thank you.

3395
03:00:06,440 --> 03:00:13,400
Also when the school ground, the one carrying the stop sign

3396
03:00:13,400 --> 03:00:15,000
are in operation.

3397
03:00:15,000 --> 03:00:16,160
So yeah.

3398
03:00:16,160 --> 03:00:17,180
The crossing guard?

3399
03:00:17,180 --> 03:00:18,550
Yeah, crossing guard.

3400
03:00:18,550 --> 03:00:19,960
Crossing guard, OK.

3401
03:00:19,960 --> 03:00:25,640
I too lived about 1500 Block of Crom Street until about 2014.

3402
03:00:25,640 --> 03:00:27,640
Then I moved.

3403
03:00:29,000 --> 03:00:31,260
At that time, there was really nothing there.

3404
03:00:31,260 --> 03:00:32,840
It had no stop signs.

3405
03:00:32,840 --> 03:00:34,100
They had one.

3406
03:00:34,100 --> 03:00:36,360
I believe Council Member Moorhead

3407
03:00:36,360 --> 03:00:39,520
was pretty instrumental in getting a second stop

3408
03:00:39,520 --> 03:00:42,400
sign off one of the streets as well because she

3409
03:00:42,400 --> 03:00:42,900
lived in that area.

3410
03:00:42,900 --> 03:00:45,440
We didn't have districts then.

3411
03:00:45,440 --> 03:00:49,200
So now, I've been down that street because I do frequent it

3412
03:00:49,200 --> 03:00:53,400
as well because I live off of Northgate.

3413
03:00:53,400 --> 03:00:57,840
There's, I guess, flashing stop signs have been put in recently.

3414
03:00:57,840 --> 03:00:59,800
I've seen the--

3415
03:00:59,800 --> 03:00:59,960
247.

3416
03:00:59,960 --> 03:01:01,960
247 there on.

3417
03:01:02,160 --> 03:01:07,502
I've seen them also on the bike lanes, both sides.

3418
03:01:07,502 --> 03:01:08,960
So there's been a tremendous amount

3419
03:01:08,960 --> 03:01:13,160
of improvements in the last 10, 12 years actually.

3420
03:01:13,880 --> 03:01:17,400
I do think if you really want to slow people down,

3421
03:01:17,400 --> 03:01:18,300
signs are great.

3422
03:01:18,300 --> 03:01:20,620
But I don't know if Mr. Gedney would agree with me.

3423
03:01:20,620 --> 03:01:23,640
But that's how he made a living, was writing citations

3424
03:01:23,640 --> 03:01:25,840
for people who didn't pay attention to signs.

3425
03:01:25,840 --> 03:01:30,400
So in my mind, by reducing it to 30 miles an hour

3426
03:01:30,400 --> 03:01:33,920
and the ability now for him to be able to fill out a form--

3427
03:01:33,920 --> 03:01:36,812
and hopefully people will agree with him, put a speed lump,

3428
03:01:36,812 --> 03:01:39,640
or bump in, whatever you like to call them.

3429
03:01:39,640 --> 03:01:42,380
I think that's probably the better solution

3430
03:01:42,380 --> 03:01:46,400
because I can tell you that people don't like driving down

3431
03:01:46,400 --> 03:01:50,100
streets with speed bumps just because they don't like it.

3432
03:01:50,100 --> 03:01:51,460
And we have it down Hacienda.

3433
03:01:51,460 --> 03:01:52,420
We have it all over.

3434
03:01:52,420 --> 03:01:55,220
It used to be nearly impossible to put one of those in town.

3435
03:01:55,220 --> 03:01:58,640
It wasn't done when I was on council before, when

3436
03:01:58,640 --> 03:02:00,180
we came back it's important.

3437
03:02:00,180 --> 03:02:02,100
So the speed bumps and lumps to me

3438
03:02:02,100 --> 03:02:04,430
are really going to be what's going to be the important.

3439
03:02:04,430 --> 03:02:06,970
We also put those on the safe routes

3440
03:02:06,970 --> 03:02:08,470
to schools, in front of the schools.

3441
03:02:08,470 --> 03:02:10,890
Now that's become common practice.

3442
03:02:10,890 --> 03:02:13,850
I just had them installed those flashing LED lights

3443
03:02:13,850 --> 03:02:17,330
on the corner of London and Northgate as well.

3444
03:02:17,330 --> 03:02:20,500
That was another-- these are all traffic calming,

3445
03:02:20,500 --> 03:02:22,650
but a sign alone doesn't make the difference

3446
03:02:22,650 --> 03:02:24,490
if someone is just a jerk.

3447
03:02:24,490 --> 03:02:27,210
And like I say, if you make a career out of writing traffic

3448
03:02:27,210 --> 03:02:30,770
citations, I think you probably see more of those than I have.

3449
03:02:30,770 --> 03:02:33,820
But people who don't pay attention don't pay attention.

3450
03:02:33,820 --> 03:02:35,290
But I do think the speed lumps and bumps are probably

3451
03:02:35,290 --> 03:02:39,110
going to be the biggest answer to your problem.

3452
03:02:39,110 --> 03:02:42,500
And by going to 30, it allows you to do it.

3453
03:02:42,500 --> 03:02:45,290
And that's probably a better alternative than just a sign

3454
03:02:45,290 --> 03:02:46,990
because it really does slow you down.

3455
03:02:46,990 --> 03:02:50,610
And quite frankly, you will probably be very annoyed by them

3456
03:02:50,610 --> 03:02:51,110
as well.

3457
03:02:51,110 --> 03:02:53,250
But you're willing to make that sacrifice because

3458
03:02:53,250 --> 03:02:55,750
of your grandkids and other kids walking.

3459
03:02:55,750 --> 03:02:58,810
So I think it's a small price to pay for something that we

3460
03:02:58,810 --> 03:02:59,960
didn't do years ago.

3461
03:02:59,960 --> 03:03:01,720
I mean, literally, quite frankly,

3462
03:03:01,720 --> 03:03:05,882
until Mayor Singh came along, it was impossible to get it done.

3463
03:03:05,882 --> 03:03:07,340
I remember working with [INAUDIBLE]

3464
03:03:07,340 --> 03:03:09,400
before you came in engineering.

3465
03:03:09,400 --> 03:03:11,560
It took like two years sometimes to get one.

3466
03:03:11,560 --> 03:03:14,220
I think the ones at Hacienda took 18 months to get.

3467
03:03:14,220 --> 03:03:16,980
So what you do now and we just did at tonight's meeting

3468
03:03:16,980 --> 03:03:20,420
is proof of the pudding that it works.

3469
03:03:20,420 --> 03:03:23,400
And it's an ability for the neighbors to get something done.

3470
03:03:23,400 --> 03:03:28,400
So I think this is a good solution for a bad situation.

3471
03:03:28,400 --> 03:03:29,820
And I've gotten Mr. Gedney's emails

3472
03:03:29,820 --> 03:03:31,820
probably for over a year now.

3473
03:03:31,820 --> 03:03:34,240
And so I know he's very passionate,

3474
03:03:34,240 --> 03:03:38,200
but I think this might be the answer, some speed lumps.

3475
03:03:38,200 --> 03:03:39,600
Thank you.

3476
03:03:39,600 --> 03:03:40,740
Thank you.

3477
03:03:40,740 --> 03:03:42,260
Yeah, I know.

3478
03:03:42,260 --> 03:03:44,220
I've gone down Crom all the time.

3479
03:03:44,220 --> 03:03:49,140
I've sat with Mr. Gedney and watched these speeders, people

3480
03:03:49,140 --> 03:03:51,140
running stop signs.

3481
03:03:51,260 --> 03:03:55,100
End of the day, I think, for the people that are not

3482
03:03:55,100 --> 03:03:56,860
following the rules, it doesn't matter

3483
03:03:56,860 --> 03:03:58,980
what the speed limit sign says.

3484
03:03:58,980 --> 03:04:03,260
But we also need to make sure we can enforce it.

3485
03:04:03,260 --> 03:04:08,200
As you can see, with all of the speed bumps

3486
03:04:08,200 --> 03:04:12,600
and lumps going on throughout our city,

3487
03:04:12,600 --> 03:04:13,820
that has made a difference.

3488
03:04:13,820 --> 03:04:15,940
It is truly slowing people down.

3489
03:04:15,940 --> 03:04:17,240
I'm a believer.

3490
03:04:17,240 --> 03:04:20,200
I mean, unless you put something in their way,

3491
03:04:20,200 --> 03:04:24,340
they're not going to slow down no matter what the sign says.

3492
03:04:24,340 --> 03:04:28,660
This is why, I think now 7, 8 years ago,

3493
03:04:28,660 --> 03:04:33,680
I brought speed lumps, traffic calming to our city.

3494
03:04:33,680 --> 03:04:35,220
And it was a big push.

3495
03:04:35,220 --> 03:04:37,140
We didn't really want to do it.

3496
03:04:37,140 --> 03:04:40,100
I know people in the room that still don't like them.

3497
03:04:40,100 --> 03:04:43,500
But it's something I think has really worked out

3498
03:04:43,500 --> 03:04:46,980
really good, especially in neighborhoods and areas that

3499
03:04:46,980 --> 03:04:50,200
are thoroughfares or collectors, where it's creating

3500
03:04:50,200 --> 03:04:53,200
the issue of people speeding.

3501
03:04:53,140 --> 03:04:57,750
And I think slowing people down is your goal.

3502
03:04:57,750 --> 03:05:02,230
And I think now that we're going to get to that 30 mile magic

3503
03:05:02,230 --> 03:05:05,710
number in order to get speed lumps.

3504
03:05:05,710 --> 03:05:07,870
I think we're going to solve some of these issues

3505
03:05:07,870 --> 03:05:11,990
and hopefully, on the long run, slow people down.

3506
03:05:11,990 --> 03:05:14,830
So I'm supportive of this.

3507
03:05:14,830 --> 03:05:17,830
My biggest issue with taking it down to 25

3508
03:05:17,830 --> 03:05:20,990
is I don't think it's going to solve anything because I don't

3509
03:05:20,990 --> 03:05:24,150
think we're going to be able to enforce some people that

3510
03:05:24,150 --> 03:05:29,300
are going faster at that point for the police department.

3511
03:05:29,300 --> 03:05:33,110
And a good section of it is 25 right now

3512
03:05:33,110 --> 03:05:35,510
when children are present.

3513
03:05:36,670 --> 03:05:40,150
But I truly feel that the next solution-- and if you

3514
03:05:40,150 --> 03:05:42,910
have issues with your neighbors not willing

3515
03:05:42,910 --> 03:05:46,750
to sign that application, I'd be happy to come and help you

3516
03:05:46,750 --> 03:05:50,550
because I've convinced a lot of people about speed bumps.

3517
03:05:50,550 --> 03:05:51,850
So they work.

3518
03:05:51,850 --> 03:05:54,350
And you can see with all the ones we approved tonight.

3519
03:05:54,350 --> 03:05:57,240
And I think we've done like 50 of them

3520
03:05:57,240 --> 03:06:00,240
so far throughout the city.

3521
03:06:01,480 --> 03:06:05,680
So with that, I'll entertain a motion.

3522
03:06:07,240 --> 03:06:08,400
All right.

3523
03:06:08,400 --> 03:06:09,520
Second.

3524
03:06:09,520 --> 03:06:13,460
All right, we have a motion from Vice Mayor and a second for--

3525
03:06:13,460 --> 03:06:15,560
I'm going to give it to Charlie this time.

3526
03:06:15,560 --> 03:06:18,200
Second from Council Member Halford to adopt a resolution

3527
03:06:18,200 --> 03:06:20,520
approving amendment number 2 for the engineering and traffic

3528
03:06:20,520 --> 03:06:23,800
survey for speed limits, waive the first reading

3529
03:06:23,800 --> 03:06:25,680
by substitution of title and introduce an ordinance

3530
03:06:25,680 --> 03:06:28,500
of the City Council of the City of Manteca, State of California,

3531
03:06:28,500 --> 03:06:33,600
amending Manteca Municipal Code Title 10 vehicles and traffic

3532
03:06:33,600 --> 03:06:35,460
Chapter 10.12 speed limit section 10.12.020,

3533
03:06:39,280 --> 03:06:42,560
designated and authorizing the city manager to designate

3534
03:06:42,560 --> 03:06:45,440
to take all appropriate actions necessary to carry out

3535
03:06:45,440 --> 03:06:47,900
the purpose and intent of the resolution.

3536
03:06:47,900 --> 03:06:49,240
All in favor, say aye.

3537
03:06:49,240 --> 03:06:50,200
Aye.

3538
03:06:50,200 --> 03:06:50,740
Opposed?

3539
03:06:50,740 --> 03:06:52,740
Motion carries 5-0.

3540
03:06:52,880 --> 03:06:54,360
Thank you.

3541
03:06:54,360 --> 03:06:56,360
Thank you, Beshoy.

3542
03:06:57,272 --> 03:06:58,800
Want a break?

3543
03:06:58,800 --> 03:07:01,800
Can we take a break?

3544
03:07:02,000 --> 03:07:05,600
I'm going to call it myself.

3545
03:07:10,600 --> 03:07:13,160
OK, and now we're back.

3546
03:07:13,160 --> 03:07:18,140
Before we go to item D5, I know that at 10 o'clock,

3547
03:07:18,140 --> 03:07:20,680
we usually have to ask for an extension of time

3548
03:07:20,680 --> 03:07:23,520
and make sure the council still wants to keep going.

3549
03:07:23,520 --> 03:07:26,600
So if I can get a motion.

3550
03:07:26,600 --> 03:07:27,520
Second.

3551
03:07:27,520 --> 03:07:30,200
I have a motion and a second from Council Member

3552
03:07:30,200 --> 03:07:31,240
Breitenbucher.

3553
03:07:31,240 --> 03:07:32,300
All in favor, say aye.

3554
03:07:32,300 --> 03:07:34,300
Aye.

3555
03:07:36,160 --> 03:07:38,160
Wow.

3556
03:07:38,640 --> 03:07:40,640
Was that opposition?

3557
03:07:43,400 --> 03:07:47,440
All right, item D5 conduct a public hearing

3558
03:07:47,440 --> 03:07:50,440
and consider adopting a resolution, 1,

3559
03:07:51,600 --> 03:07:56,530
adopting the August 2026 park dedication and in lieu fee

3560
03:07:56,530 --> 03:08:00,770
and park acquisition and improvement fee nexus study, 2,

3561
03:08:00,770 --> 03:08:04,690
adopting the park acquisition and improvement fee project

3562
03:08:04,690 --> 03:08:08,890
list pursuant to Government Code sections 66016.5 and 66002, 3,

3563
03:08:14,490 --> 03:08:18,570
adopting updated park dedication and in lieu

3564
03:08:18,570 --> 03:08:22,770
fees, and park acquisition and improvement fees, 4,

3565
03:08:22,930 --> 03:08:26,990
directing staff to implement the updated fees effective January

3566
03:08:26,990 --> 03:08:29,990
1, 2027, including the phased implementation schedule, 5,

3567
03:08:32,910 --> 03:08:35,190
waive the first reading by substitution of the title,

3568
03:08:35,190 --> 03:08:37,500
and introduce an ordinance of the City

3569
03:08:37,500 --> 03:08:40,130
Council of the City of Manteca, State of California,

3570
03:08:40,130 --> 03:08:44,530
repealing and replacing chapter 3.20 of the Manteca Municipal

3571
03:08:44,530 --> 03:08:48,370
Code entitled park acquisition and improvement fees,

3572
03:08:48,370 --> 03:08:53,770
and adding chapter 3.21 of the Manteca Municipal Code entitled

3573
03:08:54,580 --> 03:08:57,363
park dedication and in lieu fees.

3574
03:08:57,363 --> 03:08:58,780
Mayor and council, tonight we have

3575
03:08:58,780 --> 03:09:03,580
director of parks, recreation, and transit, Brandy Clark.

3576
03:09:11,300 --> 03:09:14,520
Good evening, Mayor and members of the City Council.

3577
03:09:14,520 --> 03:09:18,220
Brandy Clark, director of parks, recreation, and transit.

3578
03:09:18,220 --> 03:09:22,340
Before you tonight is a public hearing

3579
03:09:22,340 --> 03:09:26,700
to adopt a resolution adopting the park impact fee nexus

3580
03:09:26,700 --> 03:09:29,700
study and park impact fees.

3581
03:09:29,820 --> 03:09:31,900
This update is intended to ensure

3582
03:09:31,900 --> 03:09:35,620
that new residential development contributes its fair share

3583
03:09:35,620 --> 03:09:38,740
toward parkland and recreational facilities needed to serve

3584
03:09:38,740 --> 03:09:40,740
Manteca's continued growth.

3585
03:09:40,980 --> 03:09:44,440
This has been a significant and highly collaborative effort.

3586
03:09:44,440 --> 03:09:48,260
Staff worked closely with our consultants, legal counsel,

3587
03:09:48,260 --> 03:09:52,460
development services, and representatives of the Building

3588
03:09:53,500 --> 03:09:57,340
Industry Association to develop a program that

3589
03:09:57,340 --> 03:10:00,600
supports the city's long term park needs,

3590
03:10:00,600 --> 03:10:03,500
while recognizing the concerns of the development community.

3591
03:10:03,500 --> 03:10:08,780
I'd like to thank Megan Quinn of Harrison & Associates, who

3592
03:10:08,780 --> 03:10:10,980
will provide tonight's presentation,

3593
03:10:10,980 --> 03:10:14,360
as well as Megan Burke, the city's outside legal counsel,

3594
03:10:14,360 --> 03:10:17,820
for their guidance and extensive work throughout this process.

3595
03:10:17,820 --> 03:10:22,480
I'd also like to recognize Megan Kuster, administrative assistant

3596
03:10:22,480 --> 03:10:25,500
3, Michael Rosales, parks planning and development

3597
03:10:25,500 --> 03:10:27,860
manager, and Brad Wungluck, director

3598
03:10:27,860 --> 03:10:31,620
of development services for their hard work, collaboration,

3599
03:10:31,620 --> 03:10:34,420
and commitment to moving this project forward.

3600
03:10:34,420 --> 03:10:37,600
I'd also like to thank organizations and community

3601
03:10:37,600 --> 03:10:40,940
partners that submitted letters of support for this project.

3602
03:10:40,940 --> 03:10:43,740
Their engagement and support reflect the importance

3603
03:10:43,740 --> 03:10:46,620
of investing in parks and recreation facilities that

3604
03:10:46,620 --> 03:10:50,390
will serve Manteca residents now and into the future.

3605
03:10:50,390 --> 03:10:53,790
Finally, I'd like to thank the BIA and its members

3606
03:10:53,790 --> 03:10:57,390
for its communication, participation, and partnership

3607
03:10:57,390 --> 03:11:00,270
in helping us bring this item to the finish line.

3608
03:11:00,270 --> 03:11:03,630
With that, I'll turn it over to Megan Quinn.

3609
03:11:03,630 --> 03:11:05,210
I along with the rest of the team

3610
03:11:05,210 --> 03:11:11,810
will also be available for any questions that you may have.

3611
03:11:13,990 --> 03:11:15,730
Thank you very much, Brandy.

3612
03:11:15,730 --> 03:11:19,550
And good evening, Mayor Singh and members of the council.

3613
03:11:19,550 --> 03:11:21,990
I will try to go through this presentation

3614
03:11:21,990 --> 03:11:23,130
as quickly as possible.

3615
03:11:23,130 --> 03:11:26,130
I do know it's late.

3616
03:11:26,350 --> 03:11:28,870
So just here to talk tonight about the park

3617
03:11:28,870 --> 03:11:32,700
impact fees, a little bit about what development impact

3618
03:11:32,700 --> 03:11:34,670
fees are, and why they are important.

3619
03:11:34,670 --> 03:11:37,330
So development impact fees are one time fees.

3620
03:11:37,330 --> 03:11:40,290
I just want to mention that they're not taxes.

3621
03:11:40,290 --> 03:11:42,510
They are fees that are paid by new development

3622
03:11:42,510 --> 03:11:47,520
to mitigate their impacts on parks and recreation facilities.

3623
03:11:47,520 --> 03:11:49,440
They're based on their fair share.

3624
03:11:49,440 --> 03:11:51,880
And its one time fees, as I mentioned.

3625
03:11:51,880 --> 03:11:53,820
They can only fund capital costs.

3626
03:11:53,820 --> 03:11:55,240
It does not fund anything related

3627
03:11:55,240 --> 03:11:57,640
to operations or maintenance.

3628
03:11:57,840 --> 03:11:59,960
And that's what the fees are based on,

3629
03:11:59,960 --> 03:12:02,200
land acquisition for parks and recreation,

3630
03:12:02,200 --> 03:12:05,560
as well as the facilities costs for parks.

3631
03:12:05,560 --> 03:12:09,100
The funds must be used for their intended purposes.

3632
03:12:09,100 --> 03:12:11,520
And that's outlined in the capital improvement

3633
03:12:11,520 --> 03:12:14,960
plan in the nexus study as appendix A,

3634
03:12:14,960 --> 03:12:17,160
as well as part of the resolution for you

3635
03:12:17,160 --> 03:12:19,160
to adopt today.

3636
03:12:19,360 --> 03:12:24,160
Assembly Bill 602, or AB 602 went into effect in 2022.

3637
03:12:24,900 --> 03:12:27,540
And that made some changes to development impact fees.

3638
03:12:27,540 --> 03:12:30,600
So one of the changes that you'll see for the park fees

3639
03:12:30,600 --> 03:12:33,720
is the residential fee going to a per square foot basis, where

3640
03:12:33,720 --> 03:12:38,800
it used to be a per unit basis, as well as having that capital

3641
03:12:38,800 --> 03:12:39,100
improvement plan.

3642
03:12:39,100 --> 03:12:41,840
So as the park fees collect revenue,

3643
03:12:41,840 --> 03:12:43,800
we do have a plan for how those revenues are

3644
03:12:43,800 --> 03:12:47,400
going to be spent on parks, as well as looking at the existing

3645
03:12:47,400 --> 03:12:50,640
level of service compared to the proposed level of service.

3646
03:12:50,640 --> 03:12:55,400
The existing level of service right now in the city is 5.01

3647
03:12:55,400 --> 03:12:56,840
acres per 1,000.

3648
03:12:56,840 --> 03:12:58,960
And the adopted level service in your city

3649
03:12:58,960 --> 03:13:01,700
is 5, which is what this park fee is based on.

3650
03:13:01,700 --> 03:13:03,880
So it's very similar.

3651
03:13:03,880 --> 03:13:07,120
And lastly, nexus studies must be updated every eight

3652
03:13:07,120 --> 03:13:08,380
years moving forward.

3653
03:13:08,380 --> 03:13:10,680
So after you do this update, in eight years

3654
03:13:10,680 --> 03:13:13,640
you will be required to do another update at least in eight

3655
03:13:13,640 --> 03:13:16,400
years for impact fees.

3656
03:13:21,960 --> 03:13:25,140
One of the purposes for updating development impact fees,

3657
03:13:25,140 --> 03:13:28,740
is not only just required by Assembly Bill 1600,

3658
03:13:28,740 --> 03:13:31,560
is also just to make sure that we're aligning the development

3659
03:13:31,560 --> 03:13:34,760
impact fees with the cost of park infrastructure,

3660
03:13:34,760 --> 03:13:37,120
as well as land acquisition for parks.

3661
03:13:37,120 --> 03:13:39,302
It also satisfies the Mitigation Fee Act,

3662
03:13:39,302 --> 03:13:40,760
making sure that we're in alignment

3663
03:13:40,760 --> 03:13:45,330
with current legislation, as well as any case law.

3664
03:13:45,330 --> 03:13:49,790
It satisfies the Quimby Act, as well as AB 1600,

3665
03:13:49,790 --> 03:13:53,930
or also known as the Mitigation Fee Act for impact fees.

3666
03:13:53,930 --> 03:13:58,730
And fees are typically able to be effective 60 days

3667
03:13:58,730 --> 03:14:01,130
after the last action by City Council.

3668
03:14:01,130 --> 03:14:04,730
These fees will be effective on January 1.

3669
03:14:04,730 --> 03:14:06,410
A lot of times, different jurisdictions

3670
03:14:06,410 --> 03:14:09,800
will make them effective January one or July 1,

3671
03:14:09,800 --> 03:14:11,330
just making it a little bit easier for new development

3672
03:14:11,330 --> 03:14:14,330
to know when they're effective.

3673
03:14:16,610 --> 03:14:18,590
As part of this update, we did a lot.

3674
03:14:18,590 --> 03:14:21,410
As Brandy mentioned, it was a really collaborative effort,

3675
03:14:21,410 --> 03:14:24,110
working with city staff, working with different departments,

3676
03:14:24,110 --> 03:14:28,370
working with the development community, as well as the BIA.

3677
03:14:28,370 --> 03:14:30,648
We updated the data, the land use data,

3678
03:14:30,648 --> 03:14:33,190
making sure it was in alignment with the city's general plan,

3679
03:14:33,190 --> 03:14:35,930
making sure that all the population

3680
03:14:35,930 --> 03:14:38,930
assumptions and projected growth were updated.

3681
03:14:38,930 --> 03:14:41,850
Updating the park and recreation master plan

3682
03:14:41,850 --> 03:14:44,410
was adopted by this council.

3683
03:14:44,410 --> 03:14:49,810
It was in January of 2026 by LPA Design Studios,

3684
03:14:50,900 --> 03:14:53,690
and that was a visionary document for the future

3685
03:14:53,690 --> 03:14:55,450
of your park and recreation.

3686
03:14:55,450 --> 03:14:58,500
All of the information, the assumptions and everything

3687
03:14:58,500 --> 03:14:59,930
that was adopted in that document

3688
03:14:59,930 --> 03:15:02,970
is also included in our nexus study.

3689
03:15:02,970 --> 03:15:06,670
The methodology complies with all legal requirements,

3690
03:15:06,670 --> 03:15:09,530
including the Mitigation Fee Act, the Quimby Act,

3691
03:15:09,530 --> 03:15:12,250
as well as any recent case law, including

3692
03:15:12,250 --> 03:15:15,770
the sheets case that went to the Supreme Court not too long ago.

3693
03:15:15,770 --> 03:15:17,730
It demonstrates rough proportionality

3694
03:15:17,730 --> 03:15:21,730
to new development, as well as essential nexus to the fees

3695
03:15:21,730 --> 03:15:25,890
and to the land uses that is being charged.

3696
03:15:25,890 --> 03:15:28,110
We also had a lot of coordination meetings,

3697
03:15:28,110 --> 03:15:32,150
not only with internal city coordination meetings,

3698
03:15:32,150 --> 03:15:33,790
but with legal counsel.

3699
03:15:33,790 --> 03:15:36,150
And then we had a lot of stakeholder outreach meetings,

3700
03:15:36,150 --> 03:15:37,908
again, with the development community,

3701
03:15:37,908 --> 03:15:39,450
really working with them, making sure

3702
03:15:39,450 --> 03:15:43,900
that we had that stakeholder outreach, and the BIA as part

3703
03:15:43,900 --> 03:15:45,900
of this process.

3704
03:15:47,600 --> 03:15:49,340
There's two different fees as part of this.

3705
03:15:49,340 --> 03:15:50,400
One's the Quimby Act.

3706
03:15:50,400 --> 03:15:53,220
One is the Mitigation Fee Act, but the fees are the same.

3707
03:15:53,220 --> 03:15:55,500
The only difference is one's for subdivision

3708
03:15:55,500 --> 03:15:57,540
and one's for non subdivision.

3709
03:15:57,540 --> 03:15:59,900
And that's because one's governed by the Quimby Act

3710
03:15:59,900 --> 03:16:02,620
and one's governed by the Mitigation Fee Act.

3711
03:16:02,620 --> 03:16:06,240
So for the subdivision, that's for land acquisition.

3712
03:16:06,240 --> 03:16:10,460
And so as it's shown on this slide and in the nexus study,

3713
03:16:10,460 --> 03:16:13,900
that's based on the Quimby Act, 5 acres per 1,000.

3714
03:16:13,900 --> 03:16:18,260
As I said, the existing level of service within your city

3715
03:16:18,260 --> 03:16:19,800
is 5.01.

3716
03:16:19,800 --> 03:16:22,980
But Quimby is based up to 5 acres per 1,000.

3717
03:16:22,980 --> 03:16:24,980
And any new subdivision development

3718
03:16:24,980 --> 03:16:27,620
will pay that for land acquisition.

3719
03:16:27,620 --> 03:16:33,200
They will pay the Mitigation Fee Act for facilities.

3720
03:16:34,140 --> 03:16:37,300
For any non subdivisions, they will pay the Mitigation Fee Act.

3721
03:16:37,300 --> 03:16:41,750
And it will be the same for land and non land, the facility

3722
03:16:41,750 --> 03:16:45,790
component for whether it's a subdivision or non subdivision.

3723
03:16:45,790 --> 03:16:50,590
And again, it's based on that 5 acres per 1,000.

3724
03:16:53,270 --> 03:16:56,710
The fee is broken into neighborhood parks, community

3725
03:16:56,710 --> 03:16:58,850
parks, and special use parks.

3726
03:16:58,850 --> 03:17:01,500
And there's different costs for each of those.

3727
03:17:01,500 --> 03:17:04,830
And that's based on the park master plan, as well as

3728
03:17:04,830 --> 03:17:07,350
additional data and assumptions done

3729
03:17:07,350 --> 03:17:09,550
by Harrison & Associates and some conversations

3730
03:17:09,550 --> 03:17:11,550
with the development community.

3731
03:17:11,550 --> 03:17:15,470
So as you can see here, the cost for a facility for a park

3732
03:17:15,470 --> 03:17:20,230
for neighborhood is 800,000, as well as the land acquisition is

3733
03:17:20,230 --> 03:17:21,830
250,000.

3734
03:17:21,830 --> 03:17:23,830
Community parks are 143,500.

3735
03:17:25,550 --> 03:17:29,910
And the facility cost to build that is 1.25 million.

3736
03:17:29,910 --> 03:17:34,690
And special use parks is 250,000 for land acquisition and 1.25

3737
03:17:34,690 --> 03:17:36,690
million.

3738
03:17:37,350 --> 03:17:41,410
Again, it's 5 acres per 1,000 as our level of service.

3739
03:17:41,410 --> 03:17:47,230
And we do have to do this analysis as part of AB 602.

3740
03:17:47,230 --> 03:17:50,830
This just shows the 2024 and 2026 acreage

3741
03:17:51,630 --> 03:17:53,810
looking at that due to Quimby.

3742
03:17:53,810 --> 03:17:59,350
And this is pulled straight from the park master plan.

3743
03:17:59,350 --> 03:18:01,990
And what everyone really cares about-- what is the actual fee

3744
03:18:01,990 --> 03:18:02,490
amount?

3745
03:18:02,490 --> 03:18:07,100
So your existing fee for single family is 3.99.

3746
03:18:07,100 --> 03:18:09,830
And your proposed fee is 8.53.

3747
03:18:09,830 --> 03:18:12,830
For multifamily development, it is 5.57.

3748
03:18:13,230 --> 03:18:16,230
And your proposed fee is 13.48.

3749
03:18:16,630 --> 03:18:21,130
The increase is a little bit over 100% for single family

3750
03:18:21,130 --> 03:18:23,530
and about 140% for multifamily.

3751
03:18:23,810 --> 03:18:26,130
This really reflects the updated cost.

3752
03:18:26,130 --> 03:18:28,690
The fee had not been updated in a long time.

3753
03:18:28,690 --> 03:18:30,610
And the cost of land acquisition,

3754
03:18:30,610 --> 03:18:32,230
as well as facility costs has really

3755
03:18:32,230 --> 03:18:35,190
escalated since the fee was last completed,

3756
03:18:35,190 --> 03:18:38,760
as well as there's been a lot of additional compliance

3757
03:18:38,760 --> 03:18:41,760
and changes to the fee.

3758
03:18:42,360 --> 03:18:44,100
I know this table is pretty hard to see,

3759
03:18:44,100 --> 03:18:46,400
so it's also in the Nexus study, but this just

3760
03:18:46,400 --> 03:18:48,320
shows the different components of the fee

3761
03:18:48,320 --> 03:18:50,680
and how it's broken out per subdivision and non

3762
03:18:50,680 --> 03:18:54,360
subdivision, as well as the facility component,

3763
03:18:54,360 --> 03:18:57,360
and the land acquisition component.

3764
03:18:59,560 --> 03:19:03,680
This shows the estimated fee revenue if all of the land uses

3765
03:19:03,680 --> 03:19:08,120
are estimated in the general plan at 2,400 were to have built

3766
03:19:08,120 --> 03:19:11,240
out, as well as the single family and multifamily revenue

3767
03:19:11,240 --> 03:19:14,200
for those proposed fees, and at build out,

3768
03:19:14,200 --> 03:19:18,200
that would be about $358 million with impact fees.

3769
03:19:18,200 --> 03:19:21,960
For parks, some of these parks will be built and dedicated

3770
03:19:21,960 --> 03:19:27,880
instead of the revenue given to the city to build.

3771
03:19:27,880 --> 03:19:30,300
It's another big table, so apologies there,

3772
03:19:30,300 --> 03:19:32,400
but this is our capital improvement plan.

3773
03:19:32,400 --> 03:19:37,100
It's also included as a attachment as part of the agenda

3774
03:19:37,100 --> 03:19:37,730
tonight.

3775
03:19:37,730 --> 03:19:39,290
But this is another part that needs

3776
03:19:39,290 --> 03:19:41,550
to be adopted as part of the nexus study.

3777
03:19:41,550 --> 03:19:45,230
It's Appendix A as well, which shows all of the planned parks.

3778
03:19:45,230 --> 03:19:47,790
So while we do have this updated fee,

3779
03:19:47,790 --> 03:19:49,290
there is a plan for all the parks

3780
03:19:49,290 --> 03:19:52,450
that plan to be built by 2040.

3781
03:19:52,450 --> 03:19:54,950
And this is in alignment with the park master plan,

3782
03:19:54,950 --> 03:19:56,610
as well as working with city staff

3783
03:19:56,610 --> 03:19:58,370
to make sure that these are planned parks

3784
03:19:58,370 --> 03:20:00,900
that the city plans to build.

3785
03:20:00,900 --> 03:20:02,530
The estimated construction year, if there's

3786
03:20:02,530 --> 03:20:06,430
any additional funding sources, and the total cost.

3787
03:20:06,430 --> 03:20:09,500
As you can see there, the cost does--

3788
03:20:09,500 --> 03:20:11,100
is higher than the amount that would be funded

3789
03:20:11,100 --> 03:20:12,590
by development impact fees.

3790
03:20:12,590 --> 03:20:15,230
So development impact fees are new development's fair share.

3791
03:20:15,230 --> 03:20:19,430
The remaining is existing development's fair share.

3792
03:20:20,570 --> 03:20:24,330
Lastly, I just wanted to go over real briefly that we did send

3793
03:20:24,330 --> 03:20:29,370
the 30-day notice to all parties on July 39th in alignment with

3794
03:20:29,370 --> 03:20:30,790
the Mitigation Fee Act.

3795
03:20:30,790 --> 03:20:36,930
We published in the newspaper on July 10, as well as July 17.

3796
03:20:36,930 --> 03:20:40,470
We posted the nexus study more than 10 days prior,

3797
03:20:40,470 --> 03:20:43,890
as we have to do for the Mitigation Fee act on August

3798
03:20:43,890 --> 03:20:44,430
5th.

3799
03:20:44,430 --> 03:20:47,290
And then we're here today at our public hearing.

3800
03:20:47,290 --> 03:20:50,710
If adopted, the fees will go in effect on July 1st.

3801
03:20:50,710 --> 03:20:52,210
The last thing I want to mention is

3802
03:20:52,210 --> 03:20:55,610
there are phase fees that are included.

3803
03:20:55,610 --> 03:20:58,900
So there's the development impact fees

3804
03:20:58,900 --> 03:21:01,100
that are in the nexus study, which is the maximum justifiable

3805
03:21:01,100 --> 03:21:01,770
fee.

3806
03:21:01,770 --> 03:21:04,210
And then it's included with the phase fees amount

3807
03:21:04,210 --> 03:21:08,450
for developments that are in different processes and projects

3808
03:21:08,450 --> 03:21:11,410
farther along within the development process.

3809
03:21:11,410 --> 03:21:15,100
And that's included in your package.

3810
03:21:17,900 --> 03:21:20,690
I'm now open for any questions.

3811
03:21:21,530 --> 03:21:23,930
All right, thank you.

3812
03:21:25,970 --> 03:21:30,810
Council have any questions before I open up for public?

3813
03:21:30,810 --> 03:21:37,380
OK, we'll go ahead and open up the public hearing at 10:04.

3814
03:21:37,380 --> 03:21:39,380
Zoom, anybody there?

3815
03:21:46,460 --> 03:21:48,660
I do have attendees, but no hands

3816
03:21:48,660 --> 03:21:53,460
are raised for public comment on item D.5.

3817
03:21:55,340 --> 03:21:57,940
Anybody in the public would like to talk

3818
03:21:57,940 --> 03:22:00,940
about item D.5, park fees?

3819
03:22:05,940 --> 03:22:09,500
OK, seeing none, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing

3820
03:22:09,500 --> 03:22:11,500
at 10:04:52.

3821
03:22:14,500 --> 03:22:16,900
And bring it back.

3822
03:22:19,860 --> 03:22:21,860
Council Member Halford.

3823
03:22:23,660 --> 03:22:25,580
Is there an escalator built in?

3824
03:22:25,580 --> 03:22:27,240
Yes, there's an annual escalator.

3825
03:22:27,240 --> 03:22:30,200
It's the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.

3826
03:22:30,200 --> 03:22:33,880
And it will be annually escalated on July 1st.

3827
03:22:33,880 --> 03:22:35,130
And it's good for eight years, I think, you said.

3828
03:22:35,130 --> 03:22:36,130
Yes, for eight years.

3829
03:22:36,130 --> 03:22:38,230
And then it will need to be updated.

3830
03:22:38,230 --> 03:22:40,230
Thank you.

3831
03:22:41,190 --> 03:22:43,590
When's the last time this was updated?

3832
03:22:43,590 --> 03:22:46,590
This was last updated in 2016.

3833
03:22:51,230 --> 03:22:53,230
Vice Mayor.

3834
03:22:53,550 --> 03:22:55,550
All right.

3835
03:22:55,750 --> 03:22:57,750
Council Member Morowit.

3836
03:23:01,240 --> 03:23:03,150
I'll make it fast.

3837
03:23:03,150 --> 03:23:06,970
2016, that's probably the reason it's such a large increase.

3838
03:23:06,970 --> 03:23:09,970
Went from 3.99 single family to 8.51.

3839
03:23:11,110 --> 03:23:14,710
That puts us at, what, 8, 10 years?

3840
03:23:15,190 --> 03:23:16,550
Yeah, it's been about 10 years.

3841
03:23:16,550 --> 03:23:17,610
It's almost 10 years.

3842
03:23:17,610 --> 03:23:20,670
So we've had a lot of increases in costs.

3843
03:23:20,670 --> 03:23:24,850
Not just the materials and in labor, I believe.

3844
03:23:24,850 --> 03:23:27,950
Yeah, and the annual escalations do not

3845
03:23:27,950 --> 03:23:31,550
keep up with that type of increase as well.

3846
03:23:31,550 --> 03:23:34,900
It tries to keep up with somewhat of an increase,

3847
03:23:34,900 --> 03:23:36,790
but the land acquisition cost, and as well

3848
03:23:36,790 --> 03:23:38,990
as the facilities cost, labor costs

3849
03:23:38,990 --> 03:23:42,290
has not kept up with that in the last 10 years.

3850
03:23:42,290 --> 03:23:44,750
Plus, as I mentioned, there's been additional changes

3851
03:23:44,750 --> 03:23:47,300
in terms of legislation and in terms of how

3852
03:23:47,300 --> 03:23:49,350
the fee needs to be calculated.

3853
03:23:49,350 --> 03:23:52,350
And so just ensuring that going to a per square foot and some

3854
03:23:52,350 --> 03:23:56,550
of those other changes, that's why you see that large increase.

3855
03:23:56,550 --> 03:23:58,690
So new development pays a portion of it.

3856
03:23:58,690 --> 03:24:01,810
And then of course, the existing pays a portion.

3857
03:24:01,810 --> 03:24:05,190
Yes, because we can only charge it for their fair share.

3858
03:24:05,190 --> 03:24:09,270
So it's a proportional amount of the total cost of the new parks

3859
03:24:09,270 --> 03:24:11,670
that are necessary at 2040.

3860
03:24:12,550 --> 03:24:15,950
And the Building Industry Association, also known as BIA,

3861
03:24:15,950 --> 03:24:17,710
was agreement with us?

3862
03:24:17,710 --> 03:24:19,550
Yeah, so we met with the BIA and we

3863
03:24:19,550 --> 03:24:23,190
did receive a letter of support in terms of this.

3864
03:24:23,190 --> 03:24:25,470
And so we met with the development community

3865
03:24:25,470 --> 03:24:29,510
and had good stakeholder outreach, as I mentioned.

3866
03:24:29,510 --> 03:24:30,700
Good, everybody's on board.

3867
03:24:30,700 --> 03:24:32,492
I think the most important thing about this

3868
03:24:32,492 --> 03:24:35,427
is that people are asking for better amenities, larger

3869
03:24:35,427 --> 03:24:37,760
parks like the one up north we're going to be working on

3870
03:24:37,760 --> 03:24:39,760
shortly, 60 acres.

3871
03:24:39,880 --> 03:24:42,880
So this is all going to play a part in that,

3872
03:24:42,880 --> 03:24:45,910
to build something nicer in certain communities

3873
03:24:45,910 --> 03:24:46,660
and neighborhoods.

3874
03:24:46,660 --> 03:24:52,120
But the developers always have the option of doing it in lieu,

3875
03:24:52,120 --> 03:24:54,800
building their own, or paying a fee.

3876
03:24:54,800 --> 03:24:58,300
Yes, they can either dedicate, build it themselves.

3877
03:24:58,300 --> 03:25:02,760
And dedicate it and do in lieu fee or pay the fee themselves.

3878
03:25:02,760 --> 03:25:05,760
So that seems to be depending on the builder

3879
03:25:05,760 --> 03:25:07,420
and how extravagant they want to go,

3880
03:25:07,420 --> 03:25:10,300
but it seems to work out well, so I appreciate it.

3881
03:25:10,300 --> 03:25:12,700
Thank you very much.

3882
03:25:14,720 --> 03:25:16,720
Council Member Breitenbucher.

3883
03:25:17,320 --> 03:25:19,320
Great job.

3884
03:25:20,120 --> 03:25:22,800
I think this is much needed.

3885
03:25:22,800 --> 03:25:23,560
Again, 10 years.

3886
03:25:23,560 --> 03:25:26,960
And on the new aquatics facility,

3887
03:25:26,960 --> 03:25:28,340
you have five acres down.

3888
03:25:28,340 --> 03:25:30,740
I'll double that to 10.

3889
03:25:31,100 --> 03:25:33,330
That's what they recommend for that size of area

3890
03:25:33,330 --> 03:25:36,330
with parking and all that.

3891
03:25:42,455 --> 03:25:44,855
Are you still coaching?

3892
03:25:47,370 --> 03:25:49,310
I'm glad we're finally here.

3893
03:25:49,310 --> 03:25:51,710
This is much needed.

3894
03:25:51,730 --> 03:25:55,290
Parks and recreation is so important to our city

3895
03:25:55,290 --> 03:25:59,770
for the longevity and also for our next generation.

3896
03:25:59,770 --> 03:26:02,630
We need to continue investing in that.

3897
03:26:02,630 --> 03:26:08,250
And I'm glad our partners that are helping pay these fees

3898
03:26:08,250 --> 03:26:10,330
are on board with it also.

3899
03:26:10,330 --> 03:26:15,650
And I know a lot of work went into this to make it happen.

3900
03:26:15,650 --> 03:26:17,770
And I'm also hoping, in the future,

3901
03:26:17,770 --> 03:26:21,530
we can work on these fees in a more timely manner

3902
03:26:21,530 --> 03:26:23,930
and not have to wait as long.

3903
03:26:23,930 --> 03:26:26,810
And I appreciate the escalator built

3904
03:26:26,810 --> 03:26:32,210
into because that'll keep us going with future expenses.

3905
03:26:35,370 --> 03:26:39,610
As we are continuing to bring more amenities into our parks,

3906
03:26:39,610 --> 03:26:42,890
I see more work to be done when it comes to our parks and rec

3907
03:26:42,890 --> 03:26:46,930
commission and ensuring they're bringing in what

3908
03:26:46,930 --> 03:26:49,250
the public actually wants.

3909
03:26:49,250 --> 03:26:51,190
And this will help us get to that point.

3910
03:26:51,190 --> 03:26:55,770
So thank you, and I'm glad this is here.

3911
03:26:55,770 --> 03:26:57,770
So with that--

3912
03:26:57,890 --> 03:26:59,270
Can I add something real quick?

3913
03:26:59,270 --> 03:26:59,650
Sure.

3914
03:26:59,650 --> 03:27:00,150
Thank you.

3915
03:27:00,150 --> 03:27:02,130
I don't know, do you like parks and rec.

3916
03:27:02,130 --> 03:27:05,410
I just want to really take a moment

3917
03:27:05,410 --> 03:27:09,950
and thank Brad for all your time, Brandy, Michael,

3918
03:27:09,950 --> 03:27:11,490
the Megans.

3919
03:27:11,490 --> 03:27:15,510
This is no small task to get this to the finish line

3920
03:27:15,510 --> 03:27:17,850
and with a letter of support from the BIA

3921
03:27:17,850 --> 03:27:18,990
in this day and age.

3922
03:27:18,990 --> 03:27:20,470
So thank you all.

3923
03:27:20,470 --> 03:27:23,100
And just a real quick story.

3924
03:27:23,100 --> 03:27:25,130
I think it was in probably--

3925
03:27:25,130 --> 03:27:27,530
I don't know, maybe 2014.

3926
03:27:29,240 --> 03:27:33,840
I remember at council meetings, for budget items,

3927
03:27:33,840 --> 03:27:35,460
you used to put these dots.

3928
03:27:35,460 --> 03:27:38,820
And I remember when we got the funding approved

3929
03:27:38,820 --> 03:27:42,860
to do the first ever master plan that was approved in '16.

3930
03:27:42,860 --> 03:27:46,740
And so, yes, this has taken us some time, but all of our fees

3931
03:27:46,740 --> 03:27:49,600
will soon be updated.

3932
03:27:49,600 --> 03:27:51,340
But I think that was instrumental

3933
03:27:51,340 --> 03:27:53,740
because we have some funding.

3934
03:27:53,740 --> 03:27:56,220
Obviously, development doesn't close all of the gaps

3935
03:27:56,220 --> 03:27:57,880
to get a project to the finish line.

3936
03:27:57,880 --> 03:27:59,900
There's much more involved in that.

3937
03:27:59,900 --> 03:28:02,587
But I think we have some opportunities coming up

3938
03:28:02,587 --> 03:28:04,420
that I'm going to be really excited to bring

3939
03:28:04,420 --> 03:28:08,620
before council on looking at some possibilities,

3940
03:28:09,280 --> 03:28:11,420
potentially with Measure Q, after we kick off

3941
03:28:11,420 --> 03:28:13,580
feeding the fire station 6.

3942
03:28:13,580 --> 03:28:15,380
And then some other funding sources

3943
03:28:15,380 --> 03:28:18,300
that we've been really creative at making sure

3944
03:28:18,300 --> 03:28:20,140
that we have to make sure that we're really

3945
03:28:20,140 --> 03:28:22,480
building this community to be the best community.

3946
03:28:22,480 --> 03:28:24,777
And so anyways, I was thinking about that story.

3947
03:28:24,777 --> 03:28:26,110
I remember you and Steve DeBrum.

3948
03:28:26,110 --> 03:28:29,150
And Steve DeBrum, he was like Toni, Toni.

3949
03:28:29,150 --> 03:28:30,450
And I was like, trust me.

3950
03:28:30,450 --> 03:28:33,210
You won't go wrong from this.

3951
03:28:33,210 --> 03:28:35,610
And at some point--

3952
03:28:36,390 --> 03:28:38,773
I mean, I hope you all are a part

3953
03:28:38,773 --> 03:28:40,190
of that because I remember getting

3954
03:28:40,190 --> 03:28:42,230
those green and red dots.

3955
03:28:42,230 --> 03:28:43,410
And we're here.

3956
03:28:43,410 --> 03:28:44,500
We have a pot.

3957
03:28:44,500 --> 03:28:46,790
That's why the splash pad was possible.

3958
03:28:46,790 --> 03:28:50,190
And so, I mean, look, it took over a decade,

3959
03:28:50,190 --> 03:28:51,930
but things are happening.

3960
03:28:51,930 --> 03:28:53,990
And because of Measure Q, things are happening

3961
03:28:53,990 --> 03:28:55,842
at a much faster pace.

3962
03:28:55,842 --> 03:28:57,500
And so I'm grateful for that.

3963
03:28:57,500 --> 03:29:00,100
I'm grateful that I was there during that time frame.

3964
03:29:00,100 --> 03:29:03,650
And I'm also grateful that we have some ideas.

3965
03:29:03,650 --> 03:29:06,700
We just got a federal earmark for almost $1 million

3966
03:29:06,700 --> 03:29:10,430
from Congress Representative Harder for a community center

3967
03:29:10,430 --> 03:29:12,810
so that we can actually start the planning.

3968
03:29:12,810 --> 03:29:15,500
And now, we've got some good funding sources.

3969
03:29:15,500 --> 03:29:17,230
So it's really an exciting time.

3970
03:29:17,230 --> 03:29:19,190
And these are needs we already should

3971
03:29:19,190 --> 03:29:20,410
have had in our community.

3972
03:29:20,410 --> 03:29:23,110
So I'm looking forward to bringing that

3973
03:29:23,110 --> 03:29:24,890
to council in the future.

3974
03:29:24,890 --> 03:29:27,370
And thank you guys all for supporting this tonight.

3975
03:29:27,370 --> 03:29:30,900
I think that this is a really good move for our community.

3976
03:29:30,900 --> 03:29:32,190
And thank you again to the team.

3977
03:29:32,190 --> 03:29:34,230
Just to add on, I remember those dots.

3978
03:29:34,230 --> 03:29:36,150
And Toni was not the city manager.

3979
03:29:36,150 --> 03:29:38,690
And she was saying, put more dots on my projects,

3980
03:29:38,690 --> 03:29:39,290
put more dots.

3981
03:29:39,290 --> 03:29:40,410
And we said, we don't have any money.

3982
03:29:40,410 --> 03:29:41,810
We don't have any money yet.

3983
03:29:41,810 --> 03:29:44,130
But by putting the master plan together in '16,

3984
03:29:44,130 --> 03:29:46,430
you're right, That is how we were

3985
03:29:46,430 --> 03:29:49,570
able to do the things we're doing and start the process.

3986
03:29:49,570 --> 03:29:51,930
So at the time, we just didn't have the money.

3987
03:29:51,930 --> 03:29:54,388
But by building in fees into the development,

3988
03:29:54,388 --> 03:29:55,430
it made a big difference.

3989
03:29:55,430 --> 03:29:58,222
You know what else you approved funding for at that meeting?

3990
03:29:58,222 --> 03:30:00,930
You gave us money for the master plan, for the parks master plan,

3991
03:30:00,930 --> 03:30:04,350
and you gave us money for tax measure exploration.

3992
03:30:04,350 --> 03:30:08,170
So both have been beneficial to the city in many, many ways.

3993
03:30:08,170 --> 03:30:10,570
So anyways, good memory.

3994
03:30:11,430 --> 03:30:13,990
Yes, I remember those dots.

3995
03:30:13,990 --> 03:30:16,990
I had just got on.

3996
03:30:17,670 --> 03:30:20,787
She brought him over for parks and rec, too.

3997
03:30:20,787 --> 03:30:23,120
When we were doing this stuff for parks and rec and what

3998
03:30:23,120 --> 03:30:25,120
everybody wanted [INAUDIBLE].

3999
03:30:26,840 --> 03:30:27,760
Yes, no.

4000
03:30:27,760 --> 03:30:29,180
Thank you for all the hard work.

4001
03:30:29,180 --> 03:30:30,580
And this is a great thing.

4002
03:30:30,580 --> 03:30:32,820
And this is a great job with this council, too,

4003
03:30:32,820 --> 03:30:36,520
because we've really worked hard to update a lot of fees

4004
03:30:36,520 --> 03:30:41,320
throughout everything and bring everything to modern times.

4005
03:30:41,600 --> 03:30:45,600
So with that, who's ready for this motion?

4006
03:30:45,600 --> 03:30:49,160
All right, we got a motion from Council Member Halford

4007
03:30:49,160 --> 03:30:52,720
and a second from Vice Mayor Lackey.

4008
03:30:52,720 --> 03:30:54,160
Here we go.

4009
03:30:54,160 --> 03:30:56,440
To adopt a resolution--

4010
03:30:56,440 --> 03:31:01,000
adopt the August 2026 dedication and in lieu fee and park

4011
03:31:01,000 --> 03:31:03,240
acquisition and improvement fee nexus

4012
03:31:03,240 --> 03:31:07,000
study, to adopt the park acquisition and improvement fee

4013
03:31:07,000 --> 03:31:11,200
project list pursuant to Government Code section 66016.5

4014
03:31:13,280 --> 03:31:18,800
and 66002, adopt updated park dedication and in lieu

4015
03:31:18,480 --> 03:31:20,680
fees and park acquisition and improvement

4016
03:31:20,680 --> 03:31:23,770
fees, direct staff to implement the updated

4017
03:31:23,770 --> 03:31:26,170
fees effective January 1, 2027, including

4018
03:31:27,490 --> 03:31:29,890
the phased implementation schedule,

4019
03:31:29,890 --> 03:31:34,700
waive the first reading by substitution of the title,

4020
03:31:34,700 --> 03:31:35,930
and introduce an ordinance of the City

4021
03:31:35,930 --> 03:31:39,370
Council of the City of Manteca, State of California,

4022
03:31:39,370 --> 03:31:43,650
repealing and replacing chapter 3.20 of the Manteca Municipal

4023
03:31:43,650 --> 03:31:47,970
Code entitled park acquisition and improvement fees and adding

4024
03:31:47,970 --> 03:31:52,100
chapter 3.21 of the Manteca Municipal Code entitled park

4025
03:31:52,100 --> 03:31:54,300
dedications and in lieu fees.

4026
03:31:54,300 --> 03:31:55,130
All in favor say aye.

4027
03:31:55,130 --> 03:31:56,130
Aye.

4028
03:31:56,130 --> 03:31:57,100
Opposed?

4029
03:31:57,100 --> 03:31:59,100
Motion carries 5-0.

4030
03:31:59,250 --> 03:32:00,500
Thank you.

4031
03:32:00,500 --> 03:32:02,500
Congratulations.

4032
03:32:02,730 --> 03:32:04,450
D.6.

4033
03:32:04,450 --> 03:32:08,330
Conduct a public hearing for the Chamberlain Annexation Project

4034
03:32:08,330 --> 03:32:11,970
and by motion find the project exempt from further

4035
03:32:11,970 --> 03:32:16,770
environmental review pursuant to Section 15319 of the California

4036
03:32:17,570 --> 03:32:19,890
Environmental Quality Act guidelines,

4037
03:32:19,890 --> 03:32:23,530
adopt a resolution approving annexation and authorize staff

4038
03:32:23,530 --> 03:32:28,290
to submit an application to the San Joaquin County Local Agency

4039
03:32:28,290 --> 03:32:31,890
Formation Commission to initiate annexation proceedings

4040
03:32:33,100 --> 03:32:38,410
for the Chamberlain Annexation parcels APN 218-020-08, -14,

4041
03:32:41,690 --> 03:32:47,900
-17, -18, -19, -24, and 25, and waive the first reading

4042
03:32:48,810 --> 03:32:51,730
by substitution of the title and introduce an ordinance

4043
03:32:51,730 --> 03:32:55,410
of the City of Manteca, State of California,

4044
03:32:55,410 --> 03:33:00,210
amending the zoning map set forth in Section 17.20.040

4045
03:33:01,490 --> 03:33:06,410
of chapter 17.20 of Title 17 of the Manteca Municipal Code

4046
03:33:06,410 --> 03:33:10,100
by assigning APN 218-020-14, -17,

4047
03:33:12,490 --> 03:33:16,490
and -25 with a general commercial free zone

4048
03:33:16,490 --> 03:33:18,900
designation.

4049
03:33:18,900 --> 03:33:20,540
Mayor and council, tonight we have deputy director

4050
03:33:20,540 --> 03:33:24,140
of development services planning, Jesus Orozco.

4051
03:33:24,933 --> 03:33:27,100
Good evening, Mayor, council, members of the public,

4052
03:33:27,100 --> 03:33:28,340
and staff.

4053
03:33:28,340 --> 03:33:30,520
Someone teased me earlier about being last.

4054
03:33:30,520 --> 03:33:33,340
But this would be the perfect way

4055
03:33:33,340 --> 03:33:36,480
to celebrate my two years with the City of Manteca today.

4056
03:33:36,480 --> 03:33:38,480
Yeah, all right.

4057
03:33:39,140 --> 03:33:42,380
Two years, plus a day if you don't move faster.

4058
03:33:42,380 --> 03:33:44,780
A couple of minutes.

4059
03:33:49,600 --> 03:33:54,460
So before you is a annexation and a prezoning

4060
03:33:54,460 --> 03:33:56,860
for the Chamberlain project.

4061
03:33:57,780 --> 03:33:59,620
Some quick details on the project.

4062
03:33:59,620 --> 03:34:02,300
This is a city initiated annexation.

4063
03:34:02,300 --> 03:34:05,300
It entails approximately seven parcels, three of which

4064
03:34:05,300 --> 03:34:07,700
are developable commercial parcels.

4065
03:34:08,000 --> 03:34:14,000
The other four are encumbered as Caltrans right away parcels.

4066
03:34:14,700 --> 03:34:18,300
The overall annexation area includes approximately 17.4

4067
03:34:19,180 --> 03:34:20,260
acres.

4068
03:34:20,260 --> 03:34:25,220
And the general area is located on the Southern portion

4069
03:34:25,220 --> 03:34:29,543
of Lathrop Road and east of Inheritance Way and on--

4070
03:34:29,543 --> 03:34:31,460
I'm sorry, the western side of Inheritance Way

4071
03:34:31,460 --> 03:34:35,980
and on the eastern side of State Route 99, going northbound.

4072
03:34:35,980 --> 03:34:38,780
I do want to note that there is no development associated

4073
03:34:38,780 --> 03:34:40,780
with this project.

4074
03:34:43,340 --> 03:34:46,500
Some key facts about the project.

4075
03:34:46,500 --> 03:34:49,600
So right now, to the north of the project,

4076
03:34:49,600 --> 03:34:52,260
there is undeveloped commercial land.

4077
03:34:52,260 --> 03:34:55,220
On the eastern side, there's primarily rural residential

4078
03:34:55,220 --> 03:34:58,540
with some agricultural land as well.

4079
03:34:58,540 --> 03:35:04,620
And to the west and south is either State Highway 99 land

4080
03:35:04,620 --> 03:35:07,620
or unimproved public right of way.

4081
03:35:07,620 --> 03:35:11,140
On your screen, you'll also note that the highlighted are

4082
03:35:11,140 --> 03:35:14,740
the three parcels developable private parcels

4083
03:35:14,860 --> 03:35:17,260
within the annexation area.

4084
03:35:20,110 --> 03:35:21,750
The purpose behind this annexation

4085
03:35:21,750 --> 03:35:24,590
is really to streamline potential future development

4086
03:35:24,590 --> 03:35:26,350
to the north and to the east, as there

4087
03:35:26,350 --> 03:35:28,483
have been several inquiries.

4088
03:35:28,483 --> 03:35:30,150
But I do want to note, again, that there

4089
03:35:30,150 --> 03:35:32,950
is no development at this time.

4090
03:35:32,950 --> 03:35:38,950
This annexation would square off and provide for contiguous city

4091
03:35:38,950 --> 03:35:44,950
boundaries, as there are some odd or the existing city

4092
03:35:46,510 --> 03:35:48,330
boundaries are somewhat irregular

4093
03:35:48,330 --> 03:35:52,790
and this would allow for future development in a more

4094
03:35:52,790 --> 03:35:54,790
streamlined fashion.

4095
03:35:55,190 --> 03:36:00,870
I do want to note that the existing private commercial

4096
03:36:00,870 --> 03:36:03,910
sites are within this area are developed.

4097
03:36:03,910 --> 03:36:06,430
They will remain as existing nonconforming

4098
03:36:06,430 --> 03:36:10,330
until they decide to either expand, change in use,

4099
03:36:10,330 --> 03:36:13,930
or do other on site improvements.

4100
03:36:13,950 --> 03:36:17,920
So as long as they continue their uses as currently

4101
03:36:17,920 --> 03:36:22,200
in place, they would not be subject to the city

4102
03:36:22,200 --> 03:36:24,200
zoning standards.

4103
03:36:24,600 --> 03:36:26,600
That being said, those sites would

4104
03:36:26,600 --> 03:36:30,280
be prezoned with a general commercial zoning designation

4105
03:36:30,280 --> 03:36:33,280
upon completion of the annexation.

4106
03:36:35,600 --> 03:36:38,640
Since this project does not entail any development

4107
03:36:38,640 --> 03:36:42,840
and there are existing utilities within proximity

4108
03:36:44,800 --> 03:36:47,520
and there is no intensification of zoning,

4109
03:36:47,520 --> 03:36:49,360
the California Environmental Quality Act

4110
03:36:49,360 --> 03:36:52,940
does allow for an exemption for annexations of these nature.

4111
03:36:52,940 --> 03:36:56,520
Therefore, staff has prepared a notice of exemption

4112
03:36:56,520 --> 03:37:00,720
consistent with section 15319 of the CEQA guidelines.

4113
03:37:01,400 --> 03:37:03,400
And the project was also duly noticed

4114
03:37:03,400 --> 03:37:07,440
and no less than 20 days in the Manteca Bulletin

4115
03:37:07,440 --> 03:37:09,800
prior to this hearing.

4116
03:37:09,800 --> 03:37:11,880
That being said, staff is requesting

4117
03:37:11,880 --> 03:37:14,520
that the council consider finding the project exempt

4118
03:37:14,520 --> 03:37:17,680
from further CEQA, adopt a resolution authorizing

4119
03:37:17,680 --> 03:37:21,800
staff to submit an application to San Joaquin County Local

4120
03:37:21,800 --> 03:37:24,360
Agency Formation Commission, and introduce an ordinance

4121
03:37:24,360 --> 03:37:29,560
to prezone three other parcels within the annexation boundary.

4122
03:37:29,560 --> 03:37:30,940
That completes my presentation.

4123
03:37:30,940 --> 03:37:34,800
I'll be happy to answer any questions.

4124
03:37:34,800 --> 03:37:38,400
All right, any questions from council?

4125
03:37:40,120 --> 03:37:45,320
All right, we'll open up the public hearing at 10:20.

4126
03:37:45,320 --> 03:37:47,320
Zoom.

4127
03:37:55,200 --> 03:37:58,960
I do have an attendee, but no hand.

4128
03:37:58,960 --> 03:38:06,160
OK, anybody in the public would like to speak on item D.6?

4129
03:38:10,720 --> 03:38:12,850
Good evening, Mayor Singh, Council.

4130
03:38:12,850 --> 03:38:13,990
My name is Dave Bramell.

4131
03:38:13,990 --> 03:38:18,930
I'm the fire chief of the Lathrop Manteca Fire District,

4132
03:38:18,930 --> 03:38:22,100
which is subsequently the district that

4133
03:38:22,100 --> 03:38:24,570
is most frequently impacted through annexation

4134
03:38:24,570 --> 03:38:26,530
and detachment.

4135
03:38:26,530 --> 03:38:31,610
Other people know me as Chief Isla's less handsome peer

4136
03:38:31,610 --> 03:38:33,610
to the West.

4137
03:38:34,185 --> 03:38:35,310
It's a pleasure to be here.

4138
03:38:35,310 --> 03:38:37,790
I've been a resident of Manteca for 49 years.

4139
03:38:37,790 --> 03:38:41,390
My family moved here in 1977, so I'm very familiar with the area,

4140
03:38:41,390 --> 03:38:43,210
but I've only been the fire chief next door

4141
03:38:43,210 --> 03:38:45,970
for about the last four years.

4142
03:38:45,970 --> 03:38:50,450
And in that time, we've been noticed north of 16

4143
03:38:50,450 --> 03:38:52,690
plus annexation applications have come through

4144
03:38:52,690 --> 03:38:55,210
or requests for mitigation agreements.

4145
03:38:55,210 --> 03:38:57,670
And so it happens to-- as you're well aware,

4146
03:38:57,670 --> 03:39:02,170
it happens well to the north, to the south, to the east,

4147
03:39:02,170 --> 03:39:06,970
and then to the extent possible, toward the west a bit, too.

4148
03:39:06,970 --> 03:39:09,130
So my goal in coming here tonight

4149
03:39:09,130 --> 03:39:11,460
is to talk a little bit about this specific annexation

4150
03:39:11,460 --> 03:39:14,337
and as it relates, perhaps, to the process of annexation

4151
03:39:14,337 --> 03:39:14,920
with the city.

4152
03:39:14,920 --> 03:39:17,600
The city has been very good with us

4153
03:39:17,600 --> 03:39:21,292
about providing notice and getting us on distribution lists

4154
03:39:21,292 --> 03:39:23,500
so that we can see and have an opportunity to comment

4155
03:39:23,500 --> 03:39:25,500
on projects frequently.

4156
03:39:25,860 --> 03:39:28,820
This annexation, I know, is a annexation

4157
03:39:28,820 --> 03:39:32,140
that's been initiated by the city, where the majority of them

4158
03:39:32,140 --> 03:39:34,840
are usually not in that frame.

4159
03:39:34,840 --> 03:39:38,240
So we're often contacted by a developer who reaches out.

4160
03:39:38,240 --> 03:39:42,100
Sometimes we're noticed about a project maybe a year prior.

4161
03:39:42,100 --> 03:39:44,865
We provide comment to that initial distribution.

4162
03:39:44,865 --> 03:39:46,240
And we might not hear for a year.

4163
03:39:46,240 --> 03:39:47,840
And then a developer contacts me and says,

4164
03:39:47,840 --> 03:39:49,632
I hear you're the guy that we do this with.

4165
03:39:49,632 --> 03:39:52,440
And it's usually because there's a pending LAFCO meeting.

4166
03:39:52,440 --> 03:39:55,340
And they know they have to mitigate the impact to the fire

4167
03:39:55,340 --> 03:39:56,000
district.

4168
03:39:56,000 --> 03:39:59,540
And as you're aware, that is required

4169
03:39:59,540 --> 03:40:01,940
via current LAFCO policy.

4170
03:40:02,242 --> 03:40:03,700
The challenge for the fire district

4171
03:40:03,700 --> 03:40:06,260
is that it usually keeps the fire district whole

4172
03:40:06,260 --> 03:40:11,380
from the aspect of the current value from the parcels that

4173
03:40:11,380 --> 03:40:11,900
are--

4174
03:40:11,900 --> 03:40:13,500
often, it's a single parcel or maybe

4175
03:40:13,500 --> 03:40:15,450
it's three or four parcels with only one

4176
03:40:15,450 --> 03:40:16,640
or two improvements on it.

4177
03:40:16,640 --> 03:40:18,280
And so by itself is not that much.

4178
03:40:18,280 --> 03:40:23,140
And so that impact, we typically negotiate over a 15 year

4179
03:40:23,140 --> 03:40:26,180
agreement with an escalator that assumes a certain percentage

4180
03:40:26,180 --> 03:40:27,400
of property tax increase.

4181
03:40:27,400 --> 03:40:28,960
And we call it good.

4182
03:40:28,960 --> 03:40:32,940
But depending on the parcel, that could be a developer writes

4183
03:40:32,940 --> 03:40:36,780
us a check for $38,000 and looks around their pockets for loose

4184
03:40:36,780 --> 03:40:39,780
change and satisfies this requirement.

4185
03:40:40,000 --> 03:40:41,000
Project moves on.

4186
03:40:41,000 --> 03:40:41,920
Detachment occurs.

4187
03:40:41,920 --> 03:40:43,980
And in perpetuity, the fire district

4188
03:40:43,980 --> 03:40:45,800
will never have that revenue again.

4189
03:40:45,800 --> 03:40:47,420
So it's one time monies.

4190
03:40:47,420 --> 03:40:49,740
And the city is negotiating and the developers

4191
03:40:49,740 --> 03:40:52,720
are negotiating in good faith with us to do that.

4192
03:40:52,720 --> 03:40:54,220
But the reason I bring it up tonight

4193
03:40:54,220 --> 03:40:56,553
is the Chamberlain Annexation is one that we haven't yet

4194
03:40:56,553 --> 03:40:57,720
had the opportunity to meet.

4195
03:40:57,720 --> 03:40:59,000
And the city has reached out.

4196
03:40:59,000 --> 03:41:01,260
I returned some of that as well.

4197
03:41:01,260 --> 03:41:03,340
And we just haven't been able to connect.

4198
03:41:03,340 --> 03:41:04,940
I know and I see in the documentation

4199
03:41:04,940 --> 03:41:08,300
the attachments tonight that that is certainly something

4200
03:41:08,300 --> 03:41:12,830
that both parties endeavor to do and accomplish.

4201
03:41:13,630 --> 03:41:17,300
May I have just a little more time?

4202
03:41:17,300 --> 03:41:19,300
And so I know that we're going to do that.

4203
03:41:19,300 --> 03:41:21,750
And I'm not here to tell you that we're

4204
03:41:21,750 --> 03:41:25,812
going to thwart that or be an obstacle to such.

4205
03:41:25,812 --> 03:41:28,270
But I just would share that the sheer volume of annexations

4206
03:41:28,270 --> 03:41:30,670
that come through is--

4207
03:41:32,430 --> 03:41:34,330
it's exhausting, actually, in a lot of ways.

4208
03:41:34,330 --> 03:41:39,110
But the district is looking to more closely look

4209
03:41:39,110 --> 03:41:41,110
at these projects as they come through.

4210
03:41:41,110 --> 03:41:44,950
We're working on developing a mitigation program so that it

4211
03:41:44,950 --> 03:41:47,750
can expedite these processes and make it clear

4212
03:41:47,750 --> 03:41:49,470
as we move forward.

4213
03:41:49,470 --> 03:41:51,330
We're interested in arrangements,

4214
03:41:51,330 --> 03:41:52,790
such as tax sharing agreements that

4215
03:41:52,790 --> 03:41:56,350
might be untraditional from just simply paying us a lump sum

4216
03:41:56,350 --> 03:41:59,250
to make us go away, for lack of a better term.

4217
03:41:59,250 --> 03:42:00,750
So we're going to be looking at that

4218
03:42:00,750 --> 03:42:03,700
a little closer because this in itself

4219
03:42:03,700 --> 03:42:05,785
is not a significant impact.

4220
03:42:05,785 --> 03:42:07,660
But there's discussion, as you're well aware,

4221
03:42:07,660 --> 03:42:09,785
in this community, about a couple other big project

4222
03:42:09,785 --> 03:42:12,540
areas of already established developed communities

4223
03:42:12,540 --> 03:42:14,900
that would be a very significant impact.

4224
03:42:14,900 --> 03:42:16,620
And so I want to get in front of it.

4225
03:42:16,620 --> 03:42:20,400
And I just want to make the staff and council aware

4226
03:42:20,400 --> 03:42:23,957
that we are looking a lot closer at this

4227
03:42:23,957 --> 03:42:26,400
and making sure that the district-- because that's

4228
03:42:26,400 --> 03:42:28,400
my charge, is to advocate for my district

4229
03:42:28,400 --> 03:42:30,740
and make sure that funding sources are there.

4230
03:42:30,740 --> 03:42:33,600
Because although, I understand fully

4231
03:42:33,600 --> 03:42:35,840
the city's right to develop, I understand

4232
03:42:35,840 --> 03:42:38,180
the concepts of general plans and sphere of influence,

4233
03:42:38,180 --> 03:42:41,210
and I know how all of that works.

4234
03:42:41,210 --> 03:42:42,460
And the city is going to grow.

4235
03:42:42,460 --> 03:42:44,252
But the district still has a responsibility

4236
03:42:44,252 --> 03:42:46,340
to serve areas that are outside of your sphere

4237
03:42:46,340 --> 03:42:50,400
that are impacted by these areas that you plan to develop in.

4238
03:42:50,400 --> 03:42:52,960
And so we just have to monitor that, and partner,

4239
03:42:52,960 --> 03:42:54,600
and work with the city to make sure

4240
03:42:54,600 --> 03:42:56,880
that it's best for all parties.

4241
03:42:56,880 --> 03:43:00,100
And then lastly, I'll just say, in your documentation,

4242
03:43:00,100 --> 03:43:05,500
the CEQA analysis talks about the fire station being

4243
03:43:05,840 --> 03:43:08,180
the current station 33 being 2 miles away

4244
03:43:08,180 --> 03:43:11,760
and the city 244 being a mile and a half.

4245
03:43:11,760 --> 03:43:14,400
Pick a center parcel in the business that's there.

4246
03:43:14,400 --> 03:43:14,540
Measure it.

4247
03:43:14,540 --> 03:43:15,860
It's exactly the same.

4248
03:43:15,860 --> 03:43:18,600
There are about 1.5, 1.6 miles apart.

4249
03:43:18,600 --> 03:43:23,720
Also, it talks about a 1,200 feet away for a water supply.

4250
03:43:23,720 --> 03:43:26,400
That is not really consistent with the municipal level

4251
03:43:26,400 --> 03:43:27,377
of water supply.

4252
03:43:27,377 --> 03:43:28,960
It is in a rural setting, technically,

4253
03:43:28,960 --> 03:43:32,200
or unincorporated areas, but not so much in a municipal setting.

4254
03:43:32,200 --> 03:43:34,820
So in any case, thank you for the extended time.

4255
03:43:34,820 --> 03:43:36,280
I appreciate it.

4256
03:43:36,280 --> 03:43:38,660
And I just wanted to provide those comments.

4257
03:43:38,660 --> 03:43:39,320
Thank you.

4258
03:43:39,320 --> 03:43:41,320
Thank you.

4259
03:43:42,320 --> 03:43:44,320
Anybody else?

4260
03:43:47,760 --> 03:43:53,760
OK, I'll go ahead and close the public hearing at 10:26

4261
03:43:57,400 --> 03:44:01,600
and bring it back for council discussion.

4262
03:44:06,170 --> 03:44:09,762
Some of the points that were raised

4263
03:44:09,762 --> 03:44:12,762
has there been discussion regarding?

4264
03:44:15,490 --> 03:44:17,890
One more time, Mayor.

4265
03:44:23,770 --> 03:44:24,470
Oh, sorry.

4266
03:44:24,470 --> 03:44:26,630
OK, I said, some of the points that were raised,

4267
03:44:26,630 --> 03:44:30,730
has there been any discussion regarding the fire district?

4268
03:44:30,730 --> 03:44:33,150
Yes, if I may just briefly, I do apologize.

4269
03:44:33,150 --> 03:44:37,700
I did not speak on the detachment agreement.

4270
03:44:37,700 --> 03:44:38,650
Staff is working and will continue

4271
03:44:38,650 --> 03:44:41,970
to work with the fire district to come to a consensus

4272
03:44:41,970 --> 03:44:44,170
and agreement on a tax sharing agreement

4273
03:44:44,170 --> 03:44:50,500
as it relates to those specific parcels within the annexation

4274
03:44:50,500 --> 03:44:52,610
area, which would be a requirement as part

4275
03:44:52,610 --> 03:44:55,850
of the annexation application to LAFCO.

4276
03:44:55,850 --> 03:44:59,890
With regards to the proximity of the fire station,

4277
03:44:59,890 --> 03:45:02,780
I believe City of Manteca is fire station 4

4278
03:45:02,780 --> 03:45:08,180
is slightly closer to than the district's fire station 33.

4279
03:45:09,400 --> 03:45:10,540
There might have been some oversight

4280
03:45:10,540 --> 03:45:14,700
on the exact distances, but they're generally close.

4281
03:45:14,700 --> 03:45:18,700
Manteca being the closest for the most part.

4282
03:45:18,700 --> 03:45:23,340
As far as the CEQA, again, since there's no actual development,

4283
03:45:23,340 --> 03:45:26,260
the standard utility service plan

4284
03:45:26,260 --> 03:45:28,220
that goes associated with this project

4285
03:45:28,220 --> 03:45:30,220
would not be as detailed as we would normally

4286
03:45:30,220 --> 03:45:33,340
see with projects that do have development associated

4287
03:45:33,340 --> 03:45:34,540
with them.

4288
03:45:34,540 --> 03:45:37,380
Currently, this is in the county and so it's

4289
03:45:37,380 --> 03:45:40,380
on well and septic, correct?

4290
03:45:41,600 --> 03:45:41,860
Correct.

4291
03:45:41,860 --> 03:45:44,820
They're staying that way until there's development?

4292
03:45:44,820 --> 03:45:46,820
That is correct.

4293
03:45:47,780 --> 03:45:51,440
There's a water supply, you said, nearby?

4294
03:45:51,440 --> 03:45:54,400
Well the water supply would be required upon development.

4295
03:45:54,400 --> 03:45:57,680
And again, there's only three parcels.

4296
03:45:57,680 --> 03:45:59,940
So they would have to pull something closer.

4297
03:45:59,940 --> 03:46:01,940
That is correct.

4298
03:46:02,240 --> 03:46:03,740
But to your point, Mayor, yes, there

4299
03:46:03,740 --> 03:46:07,580
is a water supply that was extended east of 99

4300
03:46:07,580 --> 03:46:13,580
along Lathrop Road that they would be able to connect.

4301
03:46:16,420 --> 03:46:18,420
Charlie.

4302
03:46:23,180 --> 03:46:27,300
I just want to thank Chief Bramell for coming out tonight.

4303
03:46:27,300 --> 03:46:29,600
Somewhere out there, there's a picture

4304
03:46:29,600 --> 03:46:34,600
of himself, and Division Chief Boris, and I on a grass fire,

4305
03:46:34,600 --> 03:46:38,900
mopping up on 120 way back when you guys were

4306
03:46:38,900 --> 03:46:40,000
starting as reserves.

4307
03:46:40,000 --> 03:46:44,660
So it's good to see that you're taking care of Lathrop

4308
03:46:44,660 --> 03:46:48,300
and watching out for their concerns and appreciate it.

4309
03:46:48,300 --> 03:46:50,300
So thank you.

4310
03:46:53,940 --> 03:46:56,400
Just briefly, I served on LAFCO, so I

4311
03:46:56,400 --> 03:46:58,600
know this is always a concern of your predecessor,

4312
03:46:58,600 --> 03:47:01,830
although you've done a much nicer job of presenting it today

4313
03:47:01,830 --> 03:47:06,190
in front of us than he may have done a few years ago.

4314
03:47:06,190 --> 03:47:08,230
That being said, though, I'm hopeful

4315
03:47:08,230 --> 03:47:10,790
and I'm sure you'll reach out to us.

4316
03:47:10,790 --> 03:47:13,850
Work on something, an appropriate detachment.

4317
03:47:13,850 --> 03:47:14,850
It is important.

4318
03:47:14,850 --> 03:47:17,250
Unfortunately, the Lathrop [INAUDIBLE],

4319
03:47:18,630 --> 03:47:20,570
that is the issue with LAFCO.

4320
03:47:20,570 --> 03:47:23,550
I mean, as we go farther north and we go east,

4321
03:47:23,550 --> 03:47:26,730
that is a real issue for their district.

4322
03:47:26,730 --> 03:47:29,350
So like I say, working with the developer's

4323
03:47:29,350 --> 03:47:31,830
always probably even a little better.

4324
03:47:31,830 --> 03:47:36,630
But I think with the city, I'm sure we'll do a fair exchange

4325
03:47:36,630 --> 03:47:37,930
and work with you.

4326
03:47:37,930 --> 03:47:40,490
And I'm sure you can reach out to us if there is a problem.

4327
03:47:40,490 --> 03:47:41,890
So I'm hopeful.

4328
03:47:41,890 --> 03:47:48,300
But thank you for your pleasant approach to the council tonight.

4329
03:47:48,300 --> 03:47:49,750
Thank you.

4330
03:47:49,750 --> 03:47:52,950
Yeah, thank you, Chief, for coming and also hanging out with

4331
03:47:52,950 --> 03:47:56,750
us all the way until 10:30 at night.

4332
03:47:56,750 --> 03:47:59,580
But yes, I think whatever we need to do,

4333
03:47:59,580 --> 03:48:01,280
we will make it right with the city

4334
03:48:01,280 --> 03:48:05,320
and make sure everything is moving forward.

4335
03:48:05,320 --> 03:48:08,920
With that, I entertain a motion.

4336
03:48:09,640 --> 03:48:11,640
So moved.

4337
03:48:13,400 --> 03:48:17,920
This time, it's Council Member Breitenbucher and a second from

4338
03:48:17,920 --> 03:48:21,200
Council Member Halford to adopt a resolution approving

4339
03:48:21,200 --> 03:48:24,400
annexation and authorize staff to submit an application

4340
03:48:24,400 --> 03:48:27,400
to the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission

4341
03:48:27,400 --> 03:48:30,520
to initiate annexation proceedings for the Chamberlain

4342
03:48:30,520 --> 03:48:35,920

4344

and introduce an ordinance of the City of Manteca,

4350
03:49:09,640 --> 03:49:11,160
All in favor, say aye.

4351
03:49:11,160 --> 03:49:12,680
Aye.

4352
03:49:12,680 --> 03:49:14,400
Opposed?

4353
03:49:14,400 --> 03:49:16,400
Motion carries 5-0.

4354
03:49:18,160 --> 03:49:21,760
I need a five minute break.

4355
03:49:25,180 --> 03:49:27,180
Sorry.

4356
03:49:28,200 --> 03:49:30,600
All right, we're back.

4357
03:49:30,880 --> 03:49:31,780
We're almost there.

4358
03:49:31,780 --> 03:49:33,780
All right, that brings us to item E.1,

4359
03:49:33,780 --> 03:49:37,800
establish a city council ad hoc 2 by 2 Veterans Memorial

4360
03:49:37,800 --> 03:49:39,280
Committee and appoint two council members

4361
03:49:39,280 --> 03:49:40,920
to serve on the committee.

4362
03:49:40,920 --> 03:49:42,580
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

4363
03:49:42,580 --> 03:49:45,160
Tonight's staff is seeking city council's appointment

4364
03:49:45,160 --> 03:49:49,660
of two council members to serve on an ad hoc, 2 by 2 committee,

4365
03:49:49,660 --> 03:49:53,860
working with staff on a Veterans Memorial.

4366
03:49:54,640 --> 03:49:55,640
That's it?

4367
03:49:55,640 --> 03:49:56,930
That's it.

4368
03:49:56,930 --> 03:49:59,930
It's up to you now.

4369
03:50:00,500 --> 03:50:08,450
All right, I feel like I'm in the war zone here in the middle.

4370
03:50:09,890 --> 03:50:13,900
I guess I'll go to public comments.

4371
03:50:13,900 --> 03:50:15,900
Anybody on Zoom?

4372
03:50:18,330 --> 03:50:21,610
I do have one attendee with no hand raised.

4373
03:50:21,610 --> 03:50:23,730
All right, any comment cards?

4374
03:50:23,730 --> 03:50:25,650
No comment cards.

4375
03:50:25,650 --> 03:50:28,500
I'll be instructing people.

4376
03:50:28,900 --> 03:50:34,690
Anybody in the public would like to speak on this item?

4377
03:50:50,100 --> 03:50:54,900
Forming this ad hoc is a great thing for us.

4378
03:50:54,900 --> 03:50:58,500
I think for veterans, it will help

4379
03:50:58,500 --> 03:51:01,300
get you all out in the community and understand

4380
03:51:01,300 --> 03:51:06,420
the veterans needs and what you can do as a community

4381
03:51:06,420 --> 03:51:07,940
to help the veterans.

4382
03:51:07,940 --> 03:51:12,340
So thank you very much for considering this.

4383
03:51:12,340 --> 03:51:15,227
And I look forward to all the great things

4384
03:51:15,227 --> 03:51:16,560
that you're going to do with us.

4385
03:51:16,560 --> 03:51:18,560
Thank you.

4386
03:51:18,940 --> 03:51:21,340
Thanks for the help.

4387
03:51:24,660 --> 03:51:26,580
Wow.

4388
03:51:26,580 --> 03:51:28,580
All right.

4389
03:51:29,740 --> 03:51:31,740
Anybody else?

4390
03:51:34,540 --> 03:51:37,900
Seeing none, we'll go ahead and bring it back

4391
03:51:37,900 --> 03:51:38,940
to council discussion.

4392
03:51:38,940 --> 03:51:41,230
I don't know, do we need council discussion or can

4393
03:51:41,230 --> 03:51:42,620
I just make a motion?

4394
03:51:42,620 --> 03:51:47,300
All right, I flipped a coin earlier just to let you know.

4395
03:51:47,300 --> 03:51:48,100
All right.

4396
03:51:48,100 --> 03:51:51,760
I would like to make a motion to establish a city council ad hoc

4397
03:51:51,760 --> 03:51:53,860
2 by 2 Veterans Memorial Committee

4398
03:51:53,860 --> 03:51:58,660
and appoint Council Member Dave Breitenbucher and me to serve

4399
03:51:58,660 --> 03:52:00,660
on the committee.

4400
03:52:00,940 --> 03:52:03,340
That's what I got.

4401
03:52:04,620 --> 03:52:08,820
Do I have a second on that?

4402
03:52:08,860 --> 03:52:10,860
Anybody?

4403
03:52:13,420 --> 03:52:15,820
I heard a second.

4404
03:52:16,500 --> 03:52:21,140
So I have a motion and a second.

4405
03:52:21,140 --> 03:52:22,820
All in favor, say aye.

4406
03:52:22,820 --> 03:52:24,320
Aye.

4407
03:52:24,320 --> 03:52:26,320
Opposed?

4408
03:52:29,180 --> 03:52:31,180
Abstain?

4409
03:52:32,260 --> 03:52:38,260
All right, I got 4-0, 1 All right, moving to E.2.

4410
03:52:46,452 --> 03:52:49,860
E.2, establish the city council ad hoc solid waste committee

4411
03:52:49,860 --> 03:52:53,470
and appoint two council members to serve on the committee.

4412
03:52:53,470 --> 03:52:54,970
Good evening, Mayor and council.

4413
03:52:54,970 --> 03:52:57,630
Tonight's staff is seeking city council's appointment

4414
03:52:57,630 --> 03:53:01,350
of two council members to serve on an ad hoc, 2 by 2 committee

4415
03:53:01,350 --> 03:53:07,190
to work with staff on solid waste and disposal options.

4416
03:53:07,190 --> 03:53:11,390
All right, let's go to public comments.

4417
03:53:12,300 --> 03:53:13,990
Jeff.

4418
03:53:13,990 --> 03:53:17,590
Jeff, you want to tell us--

4419
03:53:17,790 --> 03:53:19,790
you got nothing?

4420
03:53:20,300 --> 03:53:22,300
Anybody on Zoom?

4421
03:53:24,270 --> 03:53:26,950
I do have some attendees with no hand raised.

4422
03:53:26,950 --> 03:53:30,430
OK, anybody in the public would like to speak on the 2

4423
03:53:30,430 --> 03:53:32,830
by 2 solid waste committee?

4424
03:53:37,110 --> 03:53:40,670
Seeing none, we'll go ahead and bring it back.

4425
03:53:40,670 --> 03:53:42,990
You guys want to discuss this one?

4426
03:53:42,990 --> 03:53:46,590
Anybody, eager to jump on board?

4427
03:53:49,750 --> 03:53:51,750
Bada-boom.

4428
03:53:53,590 --> 03:53:57,910
All right, let's see who the trash talkers are.

4429
03:53:57,910 --> 03:54:01,350
I would like to establish a city council ad hoc 2 by 2

4430
03:54:01,350 --> 03:54:05,830
solid waste committee and appoint Council Member Morowit

4431
03:54:05,830 --> 03:54:11,390
and Vice Mayor Regina Lackey to serve on the committee.

4432
03:54:11,390 --> 03:54:13,370
Mayor, just confirming that is your motion.

4433
03:54:13,370 --> 03:54:15,770
That is my motion.

4434
03:54:17,190 --> 03:54:18,730
OK, I got a motion and a second.

4435
03:54:18,730 --> 03:54:19,850
All in favor, say aye.

4436
03:54:19,850 --> 03:54:21,850
Aye.

4437
03:54:25,700 --> 03:54:29,150
Do I have a no or an abstention?

4438
03:54:29,150 --> 03:54:31,150
Aye, yes.

4439
03:54:32,610 --> 03:54:33,570
It's going to be fun.

4440
03:54:33,570 --> 03:54:35,970
It really will be.

4441
03:54:36,470 --> 03:54:41,300
Guys, don't talk too much trash, all right?

4442
03:54:41,300 --> 03:54:46,550
All right, that was a 5-0, by the way, on that one.

4443
03:54:46,550 --> 03:54:47,950
With that, we're going to move on

4444
03:54:47,950 --> 03:54:50,360
to-- thank God we're finally here.

4445
03:54:50,360 --> 03:54:52,240
City manager comments.

4446
03:54:52,240 --> 03:54:54,600
All right, thanks, Mayor and council.

4447
03:54:54,600 --> 03:54:55,900
So just a quick recap.

4448
03:54:55,900 --> 03:54:58,320
Big thank you for the parks fee, getting it

4449
03:54:58,320 --> 03:55:00,920
to the finish line and all the support

4450
03:55:00,920 --> 03:55:04,320
from everyone that came along with it.

4451
03:55:04,320 --> 03:55:05,660
We haven't been here in a while.

4452
03:55:05,660 --> 03:55:10,160
So I do want to thank the Sunrise Kiwanis for the 4th

4453
03:55:10,160 --> 03:55:11,260
of July parade.

4454
03:55:11,260 --> 03:55:14,200
And then also, I wanted to thank parks and recreation

4455
03:55:14,200 --> 03:55:18,480
and PD for hosting the National Night Out Community Party.

4456
03:55:18,480 --> 03:55:21,880
Again, I thought that was really nice.

4457
03:55:21,880 --> 03:55:25,420
Some special events coming up-- we have Loma ribbon cutting.

4458
03:55:25,420 --> 03:55:27,400
It's supposed to be on Friday at 11,

4459
03:55:27,400 --> 03:55:28,900
but I saw something on social media.

4460
03:55:28,900 --> 03:55:29,733
It might be at 2:00.

4461
03:55:29,733 --> 03:55:33,180
So keep your eyes out for whatever time it is.

4462
03:55:33,180 --> 03:55:36,740
I'm not sure if it changed, but excited that Loma is open.

4463
03:55:36,740 --> 03:55:40,000
Music on Maple will be on the 20th.

4464
03:55:40,000 --> 03:55:42,820
Manteca Citizens Academy will kick off next week.

4465
03:55:42,820 --> 03:55:45,360
This last week we started level up.

4466
03:55:45,360 --> 03:55:50,350
We have lots of upcoming ribbon cuttings and groundbreaking.

4467
03:55:50,350 --> 03:55:53,410
So the way Veterans Village will be on September 8.

4468
03:55:53,410 --> 03:55:56,730
The transitional housing and dog containers ribbon cutting

4469
03:55:56,730 --> 03:55:58,930
will be on September 9.

4470
03:55:58,930 --> 03:56:01,330
We're going to be doing a groundbreaking for our Police

4471
03:56:01,330 --> 03:56:05,730
Department on October 7 and then fire station 6 on October 14.

4472
03:56:05,730 --> 03:56:09,570
So all of this will be put on social media and more details

4473
03:56:09,570 --> 03:56:10,970
to come on that.

4474
03:56:10,970 --> 03:56:13,650
We'll also be doing a little event

4475
03:56:13,650 --> 03:56:18,450
at what we're calling Mural Alley on September 17,

4476
03:56:19,470 --> 03:56:21,500
before [INAUDIBLE].

4477
03:56:21,500 --> 03:56:23,810
So more details to come for that.

4478
03:56:23,810 --> 03:56:25,992
August 20, I want to take a moment.

4479
03:56:25,992 --> 03:56:28,450
We're going to be launching our new website, which is going

4480
03:56:28,450 --> 03:56:30,230
to include some ADA components.

4481
03:56:30,230 --> 03:56:33,170
It's going to have an AI chatbot to help

4482
03:56:33,170 --> 03:56:36,468
our residents with questions that they have in real time.

4483
03:56:36,468 --> 03:56:38,100
And I want to take a moment and thank

4484
03:56:38,100 --> 03:56:41,190
Penny, who is our IT and innovation director,

4485
03:56:41,190 --> 03:56:42,810
and her team.

4486
03:56:42,810 --> 03:56:44,950
It looks really amazing.

4487
03:56:44,950 --> 03:56:46,900
They've done a good job.

4488
03:56:46,900 --> 03:56:48,830
And we've needed the update for quite some time.

4489
03:56:48,830 --> 03:56:51,400
So thank you, Penny, to you and your team for all

4490
03:56:51,400 --> 03:56:52,150
that you're doing.

4491
03:56:52,150 --> 03:56:55,210
And I hope that the citizens in our community

4492
03:56:55,210 --> 03:56:57,330
enjoy it just as much as we are.

4493
03:56:57,330 --> 03:56:59,510
It's really user friendly.

4494
03:56:59,510 --> 03:57:02,100
And then lastly, I want to close out the meeting just saying

4495
03:57:02,100 --> 03:57:06,170
that, even though tonight it was a long meeting, that I just

4496
03:57:06,170 --> 03:57:08,250
want to state that we do understand and respect

4497
03:57:08,250 --> 03:57:12,850
all of our employees and their right to express their views.

4498
03:57:12,850 --> 03:57:15,590
We recognize the importance of negotiation.

4499
03:57:15,590 --> 03:57:18,490
And with that, we've also had with the two bargaining groups

4500
03:57:18,490 --> 03:57:22,490
that were here tonight, a total of 17 meetings with them,

4501
03:57:22,490 --> 03:57:26,970
combined to date, with multiple emails, several costing

4502
03:57:26,970 --> 03:57:29,370
of proposals, budget presentations.

4503
03:57:30,450 --> 03:57:33,490
We are definitely committed to working collaboratively

4504
03:57:33,490 --> 03:57:35,290
and constructively with our employee

4505
03:57:35,290 --> 03:57:37,390
reps to reach an agreement.

4506
03:57:37,390 --> 03:57:39,390
We value all of our employees.

4507
03:57:39,390 --> 03:57:41,770
So I just want to make sure that that's clear.

4508
03:57:41,770 --> 03:57:43,450
But most importantly, we're committed

4509
03:57:43,450 --> 03:57:45,920
to maintaining long term success of our city

4510
03:57:45,920 --> 03:57:48,220
and we talk about that a lot here.

4511
03:57:48,220 --> 03:57:50,940
We've been engaged in discussions.

4512
03:57:50,940 --> 03:57:53,260
And I'm optimistic that we're going

4513
03:57:53,260 --> 03:57:55,600
to find a good common ground.

4514
03:57:55,600 --> 03:57:57,460
And also to yearly--

4515
03:57:59,260 --> 03:58:01,560
I believe there's new legislation tied to it.

4516
03:58:01,560 --> 03:58:03,700
It's tied to our retention rates.

4517
03:58:03,700 --> 03:58:07,900
And we have a really high retention.

4518
03:58:08,200 --> 03:58:10,120
And I do plan on keeping that.

4519
03:58:10,120 --> 03:58:13,200
We have a really good work culture.

4520
03:58:13,200 --> 03:58:18,420
So I'm really optimistic that we'll move this forward.

4521
03:58:18,520 --> 03:58:20,500
So I just wanted to close the meeting with that

4522
03:58:20,500 --> 03:58:25,300
and thank everyone tonight for-- who came out.

4523
03:58:25,580 --> 03:58:28,840
The next meeting will be September 1.

4524
03:58:28,840 --> 03:58:32,600
And that concludes my report, unless council has any questions

4525
03:58:32,600 --> 03:58:33,280
for me this evening.

4526
03:58:33,280 --> 03:58:35,140
Thank you.

4527
03:58:35,140 --> 03:58:38,100
All right, thank you, Toni.

4528
03:58:38,100 --> 03:58:41,100
All right, Council Member Halford.

4529
03:58:43,335 --> 03:58:44,440
Long but good meeting.

4530
03:58:44,440 --> 03:58:46,440
Good night.

4531
03:58:46,870 --> 03:58:48,870
Vice Mayor.

4532
03:58:51,110 --> 03:58:52,830
Good to be back.

4533
03:58:52,830 --> 03:58:54,630
See you on the 1st.

4534
03:58:54,630 --> 03:58:56,190
1st?

4535
03:58:56,190 --> 03:58:58,190
Oh.

4536
03:59:02,670 --> 03:59:07,470
The next time we see you, congratulations, grandma.

4537
03:59:10,270 --> 03:59:13,390
Shout out to the budget engagement process.

4538
03:59:13,390 --> 03:59:16,350
Thank you guys for doing that and allowing the citizens

4539
03:59:16,350 --> 03:59:18,300
to take part in it.

4540
03:59:18,300 --> 03:59:19,710
That's a great thing.

4541
03:59:19,710 --> 03:59:22,550
I want to thank Brandy for helping Daryl tonight

4542
03:59:22,550 --> 03:59:24,870
and addressing his concerns.

4543
03:59:24,870 --> 03:59:26,125
[INAUDIBLE] and streets.

4544
03:59:26,125 --> 03:59:27,750
I was told you guys are already working

4545
03:59:27,750 --> 03:59:30,190
on the concerns for Mr. Peters.

4546
03:59:30,190 --> 03:59:31,545
I'm glad to hear that.

4547
03:59:31,545 --> 03:59:33,170
You and I were in high school together.

4548
03:59:33,170 --> 03:59:36,930
And then we talked about the Flock cameras.

4549
03:59:36,930 --> 03:59:39,750
And I didn't get to mention this because Gary passed me

4550
03:59:39,750 --> 03:59:41,230
in comments.

4551
03:59:41,230 --> 03:59:43,510
Yeah, it's a long night.

4552
03:59:43,510 --> 03:59:46,950
But library and Lincoln Park have benefited greatly

4553
03:59:46,950 --> 03:59:48,590
from those cameras.

4554
03:59:48,590 --> 03:59:49,710
We appreciate them.

4555
03:59:49,710 --> 03:59:55,390
And then the three of us were out on quality of life operation

4556
03:59:55,390 --> 03:59:56,830
last Saturday.

4557
03:59:56,830 --> 03:59:57,710
Yeah.

4558
03:59:57,710 --> 04:00:01,310
And they had 14 arrests and 14 citations.

4559
04:00:03,790 --> 04:00:08,770
I can't remember, did we get anybody directed to 555?

4560
04:00:08,770 --> 04:00:10,850
Three got directed to 555.

4561
04:00:10,850 --> 04:00:14,700
So very good night we had there.

4562
04:00:14,700 --> 04:00:18,230
And again, that kennel is going to make a difference.

4563
04:00:18,230 --> 04:00:20,270
And like I said, we should probably

4564
04:00:20,270 --> 04:00:23,450
be looking at that second in the near future.

4565
04:00:23,450 --> 04:00:28,930
So as the process goes there, I'm glad we got the roof going.

4566
04:00:28,930 --> 04:00:31,237
We got it purchased.

4567
04:00:31,237 --> 04:00:32,570
And we're going to move forward.

4568
04:00:32,570 --> 04:00:34,190
So that's another great thing.

4569
04:00:34,190 --> 04:00:36,270
With the police station, fire station,

4570
04:00:36,270 --> 04:00:38,310
we've got a lot going on.

4571
04:00:38,310 --> 04:00:42,480
And the streets and everything else that's going on.

4572
04:00:42,480 --> 04:00:44,480
Thank you.

4573
04:00:44,560 --> 04:00:47,560
All right, Council Member Morowit.

4574
04:00:48,560 --> 04:00:49,580
A great meeting.

4575
04:00:49,580 --> 04:00:52,260
I will thank staff for all what they did tonight.

4576
04:00:52,260 --> 04:00:54,680
I mean, we had a bit of a break.

4577
04:00:54,680 --> 04:00:58,240
So moving forward, we had a lot of staff, a lot of meeting.

4578
04:00:58,240 --> 04:00:59,360
Long night.

4579
04:00:59,360 --> 04:01:01,240
Everybody was on their game.

4580
04:01:01,240 --> 04:01:02,960
So I appreciate that.

4581
04:01:02,960 --> 04:01:06,280
And to the folks that came to speak about their bargaining

4582
04:01:06,280 --> 04:01:08,760
groups, I appreciate how respectful

4583
04:01:08,760 --> 04:01:12,520
they were coming to the meeting and expressing their concerns.

4584
04:01:12,520 --> 04:01:15,560
And we take those very seriously at the City of Manteca.

4585
04:01:15,560 --> 04:01:18,840
So thank you and have a good evening.

4586
04:01:18,840 --> 04:01:20,137
All right, thank you.

4587
04:01:20,137 --> 04:01:22,720
Yeah, this has got to be one of the longest meetings I've ever

4588
04:01:22,720 --> 04:01:25,120
had the four years.

4589
04:01:25,440 --> 04:01:27,440
No, not all.

4590
04:01:28,120 --> 04:01:30,520
There's been some doozies.

4591
04:01:30,720 --> 04:01:34,540
But thank you for everyone coming out tonight.

4592
04:01:34,540 --> 04:01:36,360
It was a great meeting.

4593
04:01:36,360 --> 04:01:40,730
Thank you to all the staff that came and voiced their concerns.

4594
04:01:40,730 --> 04:01:41,990
And we hear you.

4595
04:01:41,990 --> 04:01:45,970
And I know our staff's going to be working diligently

4596
04:01:45,970 --> 04:01:48,370
to get a solution.

4597
04:01:48,650 --> 04:01:52,690
And so hopefully, we're going to hear that soon.

4598
04:01:52,690 --> 04:01:57,490
Also a lot of good stuff covered tonight.

4599
04:01:58,100 --> 04:01:59,730
One of the things I do want to see

4600
04:01:59,730 --> 04:02:01,410
if we have council consensus, I would

4601
04:02:01,410 --> 04:02:04,490
like to see our police department come back

4602
04:02:04,490 --> 04:02:11,500
and present to us when it comes to Flock cameras and a policy

4603
04:02:11,500 --> 04:02:16,770
and procedures that we follow and talk about some of the myths

4604
04:02:16,770 --> 04:02:19,770
out there and Flock overall.

4605
04:02:20,210 --> 04:02:22,930
And so that way we can also educate

4606
04:02:22,930 --> 04:02:24,590
the council and our public.

4607
04:02:24,590 --> 04:02:26,257
So you guys are good with that.

4608
04:02:26,257 --> 04:02:28,900
I would like to see a presentation come back

4609
04:02:28,900 --> 04:02:30,900
to us sooner.

4610
04:02:31,250 --> 04:02:32,930
So it looks like we got nods.

4611
04:02:32,930 --> 04:02:35,250
So we're good with that.

4612
04:02:35,250 --> 04:02:38,770
With that, it's been a long time since we've had a meeting.

4613
04:02:38,770 --> 04:02:41,790
And then we might be a little rusty, but here we are.

4614
04:02:41,790 --> 04:02:43,930
We made it to the end.

4615
04:02:43,930 --> 04:02:47,100
Do we want to pick a date for them to come back?

4616
04:02:47,100 --> 04:02:50,130
Is that what you're asking, Cass?

4617
04:02:50,130 --> 04:02:51,710
When can you present that to us?

4618
04:02:51,710 --> 04:02:53,710
By next meeting?

4619
04:02:56,410 --> 04:02:58,370
What kind of effort?

4620
04:02:58,370 --> 04:03:00,370
Roll tide effort?

4621
04:03:02,610 --> 04:03:03,830
All right, sounds good.

4622
04:03:03,830 --> 04:03:05,830
September 1st.

4623
04:03:09,130 --> 04:03:11,130
He's excited.

4624
04:03:11,490 --> 04:03:14,990
And with that, those are my comments for tonight.

4625
04:03:14,990 --> 04:03:17,410
I do want to adjourn tonight's meeting.

4626
04:03:17,410 --> 04:03:22,270
We lost a great person in our community and wonderful person.

4627
04:03:22,270 --> 04:03:24,650
And he will be sorely missed.

4628
04:03:24,650 --> 04:03:26,650
And so I would like to adjourn tonight's meeting

4629
04:03:26,650 --> 04:03:30,250
in the memory of Bruce Bell.
