share about the

33
00:02:32,617 --> 00:02:34,617
contra costa

34
00:02:34,617 --> 00:02:35,617
mosquito and vector control district

35
00:02:35,617 --> 00:02:36,617
and the services we provide

36
00:02:36,617 --> 00:02:37,617
to the residents of martinez. I am

37
00:02:37,617 --> 00:02:38,617
presenting on behalf of our trustee

38
00:02:38,617 --> 00:02:40,617
to

39
00:02:41,617 --> 00:02:43,617
martinez, daniel pellegrini.

40
00:02:45,617 --> 00:02:47,617
so the district's mission statement

41
00:02:47,617 --> 00:02:49,617
is the contra

42
00:02:50,617 --> 00:02:52,617
costa

43
00:02:55,617 --> 00:02:56,567
mosquito and vector control district

44
00:02:56,567 --> 00:02:57,830
is a public health

45
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:57,617
agency dedicated to protecting the

46
00:02:57,617 --> 00:02:58,617
community from mosquitoes and other

47
00:02:58,617 --> 00:02:59,617
vectors of disease. And county residents

48
00:02:59,617 --> 00:03:01,617
voted

49
00:03:02,617 --> 00:03:06,217
to create our district back in

50
00:03:08,617 --> 00:03:09,117
1926 and

51
00:03:09,117 --> 00:03:10,617
we opened our doors in 1927. That

52
00:03:10,617 --> 00:03:11,617
means we are just three years away

53
00:03:11,617 --> 00:03:13,617
from

54
00:03:14,617 --> 00:03:17,170
our 100th anniversary. In 1993,

55
00:03:17,617 --> 00:03:20,617
contra costa county transferred its

56
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:21,617
rat and mouse program and rabies risk

57
00:03:21,617 --> 00:03:23,617
reduction programs to the district

58
00:03:23,617 --> 00:03:25,617
.

59
00:03:25,617 --> 00:03:26,617
and that is when we changed our name to the

60
00:03:26,617 --> 00:03:28,617
contra costa

61
00:03:29,617 --> 00:03:30,617
mosquito and

62
00:03:30,617 --> 00:03:32,617
vector control district and that is the

63
00:03:32,617 --> 00:03:35,617
name that we still remain

64
00:03:35,617 --> 00:03:38,170
today. So the district

65
00:03:38,617 --> 00:03:40,617
services we provide. We provide

66
00:03:40,617 --> 00:03:41,617
public health services to reduce the

67
00:03:41,617 --> 00:03:43,617
risk of

68
00:03:44,617 --> 00:03:47,170
mosquitoes, rats and mice,

69
00:03:47,617 --> 00:03:48,617
skunks, --

70
00:03:48,617 --> 00:03:50,617
that is our rabies risk reduction

71
00:03:50,617 --> 00:03:52,617
program --

72
00:03:53,617 --> 00:03:55,617
ticks, ground messaging

73
00:03:57,617 --> 00:03:59,617
yellow jackets specifically, and education and

74
00:03:59,617 --> 00:04:01,617
inspection for honeybees. We are

75
00:04:01,617 --> 00:04:04,617
funded through property taxes and

76
00:04:04,617 --> 00:04:05,617
benefit assessments across contra

77
00:04:05,617 --> 00:04:07,617
costa

78
00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:11,617
county so we encourage martinez

79
00:04:11,617 --> 00:04:14,617
contra costa use us as we need , because

80
00:04:14,617 --> 00:04:17,617
there is no additional charge

81
00:04:20,617 --> 00:04:21,617
when we cannot to

82
00:04:21,617 --> 00:04:23,617
provide one of our public health services.

83
00:04:23,617 --> 00:04:25,617
we have as an independent special district

84
00:04:25,617 --> 00:04:26,617
--we are governed by our board of

85
00:04:26,617 --> 00:04:27,617

86
00:04:27,617 --> 00:04:29,617
we have a total of 22 trustees that represent

87
00:04:29,617 --> 00:04:32,617
the 19 cities within contra costa

88
00:04:32,617 --> 00:04:33,617
county and then

89
00:04:33,617 --> 00:04:35,617
three of our trustees represent the

90
00:04:35,617 --> 00:04:37,617
county at large. Currently we

91
00:04:37,617 --> 00:04:38,617
have vacancies on our board of trustees

92
00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:40,617

00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:46,617
and antioch .

95
00:04:50,617 --> 00:04:51,617
when it comes

96
00:04:51,617 --> 00:04:53,617
to the district's board of trustees,

97
00:04:53,617 --> 00:04:53,817
the job of a trustee is to represent the

98
00:04:53,817 --> 00:04:54,617

00:04:54,617 --> 00:04:56,617

when it comes to

113
00:05:30,617 --> 00:05:32,617

114
00:05:32,617 --> 00:05:34,617

115
00:05:34,617 --> 00:05:37,617
county this year , we have received

117
00:05:38,617 --> 00:05:40,617

one for ticks I.d., one for honeybees, and

123
00:05:59,617 --> 00:05:59,800
one for ground nesting yellow jackets

124
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800
so

125
00:06:02,617 --> 00:06:05,617
far in 2024. And in addition

126
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:08,617
to providing residential services, district

127
00:06:08,617 --> 00:06:10,617
employees also inspect

128
00:06:11,617 --> 00:06:13,617
and treat

129
00:06:14,617 --> 00:06:15,617
these areas as needed. Public waterways, pastors,

130
00:06:15,617 --> 00:06:17,617
parks, and other agricultural areas

131
00:06:17,617 --> 00:06:19,617
where mosquitoes and

132
00:06:19,617 --> 00:06:20,617
vectors of disease or harm can cause issues

133
00:06:20,617 --> 00:06:22,617
for neighboring residents.

134
00:06:26,617 --> 00:06:29,617
now, one of the ways that

135
00:06:29,617 --> 00:06:31,617
we provide

136
00:06:31,617 --> 00:06:32,617
public health protection as a vector

137
00:06:32,617 --> 00:06:35,170
control district --one of

138
00:06:35,617 --> 00:06:38,617
our tools is we survey areas that

139
00:06:38,617 --> 00:06:38,817
are difficult to inspect on foot or by

140
00:06:38,817 --> 00:06:40,817
off-road

141
00:06:41,617 --> 00:06:42,617
vehicles completely . It's

142
00:06:42,617 --> 00:06:45,617
by using unmanned aircraft systems

143
00:06:47,617 --> 00:06:49,617
, also known as uas, or

144
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:50,617
commonly known as drones . The district

145
00:06:50,617 --> 00:06:52,617
has two drones

146
00:06:53,617 --> 00:06:54,617
that have allowed for more

147
00:06:54,617 --> 00:06:56,617
efficient inspection of large wetland

148
00:06:56,617 --> 00:06:58,617
and pasture areas

149
00:06:59,617 --> 00:07:01,617
in particular.

150
00:07:02,617 --> 00:07:02,833
the information gathered by the drone

151
00:07:02,833 --> 00:07:04,617
helps

152
00:07:04,617 --> 00:07:05,617
the district plan appropriate treatment of these areas

153
00:07:05,617 --> 00:07:07,617
more efficiently.

154
00:07:11,617 --> 00:07:11,800
and that is what I have for you today

155
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,800
.

156
00:07:14,617 --> 00:07:17,617
does anyone have any questions?

157
00:07:17,617 --> 00:07:21,817
>> thank you so much for the presentation.

158
00:07:22,617 --> 00:07:23,617
I'm not sure if anyone has any questions,

159
00:07:23,617 --> 00:07:25,617
but I did want to convey

160
00:07:25,617 --> 00:07:26,617
my appreciation for your staff over

161
00:07:26,617 --> 00:07:28,617
the past year. We

162
00:07:28,617 --> 00:07:29,617
had quite a few issues with yellow jackets

163
00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:31,617
in our local

164
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:35,817
parks. And I know that several parents

165
00:07:36,617 --> 00:07:37,617
submitted requests and I also

166
00:07:37,617 --> 00:07:39,617
know that mosquito vector control district

167
00:07:39,617 --> 00:07:40,617
worked hand in hand with

168
00:07:40,617 --> 00:07:44,217
city park and public works employees

169
00:07:47,617 --> 00:07:48,617
and address those issues really quickly.

170
00:07:48,617 --> 00:07:49,117
I just

171
00:07:49,117 --> 00:07:51,617
wanted to convey my appreciation to

172
00:07:51,617 --> 00:07:53,617

173
00:07:53,617 --> 00:07:54,500
your staff.

174
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:54,617
>> thank you very much. I

175
00:07:54,617 --> 00:07:55,617
will be

176
00:07:55,617 --> 00:07:57,617
sure to pass that along to our personnel

177
00:07:57,617 --> 00:07:58,617
who handle the

178
00:07:58,617 --> 00:07:58,917
inspections and treatment.

179
00:07:58,917 --> 00:07:59,617
>> anyone

180
00:07:59,617 --> 00:08:03,617
have any questions for her this evening?

181
00:08:03,617 --> 00:08:03,850
go ahead.

182
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,850
>>

183
00:08:06,617 --> 00:08:06,867
go ahead, debbie.

184
00:08:06,867 --> 00:08:07,617
>> thank

185
00:08:07,617 --> 00:08:11,217
you for the presentation. Thank you

186
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:14,617
, danny, for your service over

187
00:08:14,617 --> 00:08:18,617
the years. In 1997. Quite a run. Thank you.

188
00:08:18,617 --> 00:08:21,170
I just have a

189
00:08:21,617 --> 00:08:25,217
question about something that was stated

190
00:08:25,617 --> 00:08:27,617
at a previous update you gave. I think it

191
00:08:27,617 --> 00:08:29,617
was last year

192
00:08:30,617 --> 00:08:32,617
may be.

193
00:08:32,617 --> 00:08:33,617
there was an area of martinez that

194
00:08:33,617 --> 00:08:34,617
had an invasive

195
00:08:34,617 --> 00:08:35,617
species of mosquito. I think they were

196
00:08:35,617 --> 00:08:36,617
called ankle biters. They were a black and

197
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:37,617
white

198
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,617
striped mosquito. And there was some

199
00:08:39,617 --> 00:08:40,617
concern at that time because

200
00:08:40,617 --> 00:08:42,617
they had the potential of spreading

201
00:08:42,617 --> 00:08:45,170
diseases, which --kind of

202
00:08:45,617 --> 00:08:48,617
scary ones. Fever. Zika virus.

203
00:08:50,617 --> 00:08:51,617
yellow fever. Not that we see that too much

204
00:08:51,617 --> 00:08:53,617
here. But

205
00:08:54,617 --> 00:08:56,617
I was just wondering

206
00:08:56,617 --> 00:08:57,617
, how effective was the quarantining?

207
00:08:57,617 --> 00:08:58,617
are these eradicated

208
00:08:58,617 --> 00:08:59,617
in our community? I have seen recently

209
00:08:59,617 --> 00:09:00,617
they are seen down in southern california.

210
00:09:00,617 --> 00:09:02,617
I'm

211
00:09:03,617 --> 00:09:04,617
just wondering , do we still

212
00:09:04,617 --> 00:09:06,617
see them here in little areas or have

213
00:09:06,617 --> 00:09:06,817
they been eradicated and is there

214
00:09:06,817 --> 00:09:08,617
anything

215
00:09:08,617 --> 00:09:12,817
we should know about those nasty varmints?

216
00:09:15,617 --> 00:09:16,617
>> thank you so much for your

217
00:09:16,617 --> 00:09:18,617
question. It is a really good question

218
00:09:18,617 --> 00:09:19,617
and I do appreciate it.

219
00:09:19,617 --> 00:09:21,617
for martinez, it was 2022 that we

220
00:09:21,617 --> 00:09:22,617
did find

221
00:09:22,617 --> 00:09:25,617
some of these invasive mosquitoes.

222
00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:27,617
their common name is actually the

223
00:09:27,617 --> 00:09:30,170
yellow fever mosquito. Their

224
00:09:30,617 --> 00:09:32,617
scientific name

225
00:09:33,617 --> 00:09:35,617
--they do tend to

226
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:36,617
stay low to the ground. They are very

227
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:38,617
stealth like

228
00:09:38,617 --> 00:09:39,617
. When we did find them in 2022, we

229
00:09:39,617 --> 00:09:42,170
went door-to-door. We conducted

230
00:09:42,617 --> 00:09:45,170
trapping and did everything

231
00:09:45,617 --> 00:09:48,617
we could to try to

232
00:09:48,617 --> 00:09:51,617
mitigate that issue right then

233
00:09:51,617 --> 00:09:54,617
and there. In 2023, we continued our work

234
00:09:54,617 --> 00:09:55,617
but did not find

235
00:09:55,617 --> 00:09:59,217
any more evidence of those mosquitoes

236
00:09:59,617 --> 00:10:00,617
in martinez. We continue to conduct

237
00:10:00,617 --> 00:10:02,617
surveillance in

238
00:10:02,617 --> 00:10:03,617
that area . And we have not found

239
00:10:03,617 --> 00:10:05,617
any more

240
00:10:06,617 --> 00:10:08,617
in martinez.

241
00:10:08,617 --> 00:10:09,617
however, I can tell you they have

242
00:10:09,617 --> 00:10:09,817
been in southern california for more

243
00:10:09,817 --> 00:10:11,817
than

244
00:10:12,617 --> 00:10:12,817
10 years. If you look at a map on

245
00:10:12,817 --> 00:10:14,617
the

246
00:10:14,617 --> 00:10:15,617
california department of public health, it

247
00:10:15,617 --> 00:10:17,617
has a map

248
00:10:18,617 --> 00:10:21,617
that shows they are virtually

249
00:10:21,617 --> 00:10:23,617
right up interstate 5

250
00:10:24,617 --> 00:10:27,617
right up to northern california. They

251
00:10:27,617 --> 00:10:30,617
are in sacramento county . They are

252
00:10:30,617 --> 00:10:33,617
around us. The bay area has

253
00:10:33,617 --> 00:10:36,617
not seen a lot of them

254
00:10:36,617 --> 00:10:38,617
at all

255
00:10:39,617 --> 00:10:39,817
knock on wood. But we do know that

256
00:10:39,817 --> 00:10:41,617
they

257
00:10:41,617 --> 00:10:42,617
are spreading. They are the reason we

258
00:10:42,617 --> 00:10:44,617
actually changed

259
00:10:44,617 --> 00:10:45,617
our messaging from just dumping out

260
00:10:45,617 --> 00:10:47,617
standing water

261
00:10:48,617 --> 00:10:51,617
to dump and scrub because

262
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:54,617
these mosquitoes will a sticky

263
00:10:54,617 --> 00:10:57,170
individual eggs right above

264
00:10:57,617 --> 00:11:00,617
the waterline. So right now

265
00:11:00,617 --> 00:11:02,617
when the weather

266
00:11:02,617 --> 00:11:03,617
is getting warmer and we may be thinking

267
00:11:03,617 --> 00:11:06,617
about bringing out potted plants and things

268
00:11:06,617 --> 00:11:09,617
like that , you want to be very vigilant

269
00:11:09,617 --> 00:11:12,617
to make sure to dump out

270
00:11:12,617 --> 00:11:13,617
in

271
00:11:13,617 --> 00:11:14,617
the pan underneath the potted plants

272
00:11:14,617 --> 00:11:15,617
especially because they can be very

273
00:11:15,617 --> 00:11:17,617
nutrient filled

274
00:11:17,617 --> 00:11:18,617
with mosquitoes. Be sure to dump out

275
00:11:18,617 --> 00:11:21,170
that water and scrub

276
00:11:21,617 --> 00:11:23,617
those containers

277
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:25,617
to make sure that you knock off

278
00:11:25,617 --> 00:11:27,617
any because this particular mosquito

279
00:11:27,617 --> 00:11:29,617
can have eggs that you put away your

280
00:11:29,617 --> 00:11:30,617
patio furniture and everything that

281
00:11:30,617 --> 00:11:32,617
may have

282
00:11:32,617 --> 00:11:36,617
some bags in it on them for the winter

283
00:11:36,617 --> 00:11:39,617
. They don't. The eggs can stay viable

284
00:11:39,617 --> 00:11:41,617
for six months or longer

285
00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:42,617
. Even when they're not in contact

286
00:11:42,617 --> 00:11:44,617
with water.

287
00:11:45,617 --> 00:11:45,800
so they are very serious mosquitoes as

288
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
he

289
00:11:48,617 --> 00:11:51,617
said. They can transmit causative

290
00:11:51,617 --> 00:11:52,617
agents of

291
00:11:52,617 --> 00:11:54,617
chicken and yellow fever. We have

292
00:11:54,617 --> 00:11:56,617
seen local

293
00:11:57,617 --> 00:11:59,617
transmission in southern

294
00:12:00,617 --> 00:12:01,617
california now.

295
00:12:01,617 --> 00:12:03,617
so it is really important that all

296
00:12:03,617 --> 00:12:06,617
of us work together, dump out

297
00:12:06,617 --> 00:12:08,617
standing water and scrub those

298
00:12:08,617 --> 00:12:09,617
containers to knock off any potential eggs

299
00:12:09,617 --> 00:12:11,617
to reduce

300
00:12:11,617 --> 00:12:12,617
the risk. But thank you so much for

301
00:12:12,617 --> 00:12:12,933
your question.

302
00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:14,617
>> thank you for

303
00:12:14,617 --> 00:12:17,617
your answer. Hopefully people listening

304
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:22,617
or people that listen to this at a later date

305
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:24,617
will hear your message and hopefully

306
00:12:24,617 --> 00:12:24,817
keep it eradicated from our area.

307
00:12:24,817 --> 00:12:26,817
one

308
00:12:27,617 --> 00:12:29,617
other thing is

309
00:12:33,617 --> 00:12:33,867
, would bleach help? I know people

310
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:35,617
put bleach

311
00:12:35,617 --> 00:12:36,617
in with the water. Without also be

312
00:12:36,617 --> 00:12:37,617
an effective way to kill the

313
00:12:37,617 --> 00:12:38,830
eggs?

314
00:12:38,830 --> 00:12:39,617
>> from what our entomologists

315
00:12:39,617 --> 00:12:39,833
tell us, they are ultimately the best

316
00:12:39,833 --> 00:12:41,617
thing

317
00:12:41,617 --> 00:12:42,617
to do -- just scrub them off to get

318
00:12:42,617 --> 00:12:44,617
rid

319
00:12:45,617 --> 00:12:48,617
of them. Any other way

320
00:12:48,617 --> 00:12:48,817
may help temporarily, but it's not

321
00:12:48,817 --> 00:12:50,817
going to

322
00:12:51,617 --> 00:12:53,617
help long-term.

323
00:12:54,617 --> 00:12:57,617
>> okay. Thank you so much. >> thank you.

324
00:12:57,617 --> 00:13:00,170
>> that was my question

325
00:13:00,617 --> 00:13:02,617
. And also

326
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:05,617
to congratulate danny

327
00:13:06,617 --> 00:13:09,170
on his [ inaudible ] appreciate

328
00:13:09,617 --> 00:13:09,983
it.

329
00:13:09,983 --> 00:13:11,983
>> thank you. >>

330
00:13:19,617 --> 00:13:20,617
that

331
00:13:20,617 --> 00:13:21,617
covers my question as well. I was curious

332
00:13:21,617 --> 00:13:22,617
about swimming pools. What do you

333
00:13:22,617 --> 00:13:24,617
guys do when somebody calls in. I

334
00:13:24,617 --> 00:13:24,933
have a swimming pool.

335
00:13:24,933 --> 00:13:25,617
>> that is a

336
00:13:25,617 --> 00:13:26,117
great

337
00:13:26,117 --> 00:13:28,617
question. One of the first things

338
00:13:28,617 --> 00:13:31,170
we tell folks is

339
00:13:31,617 --> 00:13:32,617
,

340
00:13:32,617 --> 00:13:33,617
folks can report a swimming pool they

341
00:13:33,617 --> 00:13:34,617
see from their upstairs and their

342
00:13:34,617 --> 00:13:35,617
neighbors' yard. If

343
00:13:35,617 --> 00:13:37,617
it looks green or they are experiencing

344
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:38,617
mosquitoes. The first thing I do

345
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,617
want to explain is we are bound to

346
00:13:40,617 --> 00:13:43,170
privacy. We cannot divulge

347
00:13:44,617 --> 00:13:46,617
to a neighbor who may have reported

348
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:47,617
a pool what we did at the pool.

349
00:13:47,617 --> 00:13:49,617
we can only talk to the resident about

350
00:13:49,617 --> 00:13:52,170
what can be done.

351
00:13:52,617 --> 00:13:53,617
but there are

352
00:13:53,617 --> 00:13:54,617
things that can be done because one neglected

353
00:13:54,617 --> 00:13:57,617
swimming pool particularly we saw

354
00:13:58,617 --> 00:14:01,170
during the great recession

355
00:14:01,617 --> 00:14:02,617
--one

356
00:14:02,617 --> 00:14:03,617
neglected swimming pool can be an

357
00:14:03,617 --> 00:14:04,617
issue for an entire neighborhood because

358
00:14:04,617 --> 00:14:06,617
depending on

359
00:14:06,617 --> 00:14:07,617
how much stagnant water is there, they

360
00:14:07,617 --> 00:14:08,617
could actually have mosquitoes

361
00:14:08,617 --> 00:14:10,617
that will fly around the neighborhood

362
00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:13,170
and they can have

363
00:14:22,617 --> 00:14:23,617
many,

364
00:14:23,617 --> 00:14:24,617
many, many mosquitoes out of one neglected

365
00:14:24,617 --> 00:14:25,617
swimming pool. So the key things that we

366
00:14:25,617 --> 00:14:26,617
recommend --number

367
00:14:26,617 --> 00:14:28,617
one, regular maintenance on the swimming

368
00:14:28,617 --> 00:14:29,617
pool. If it is good enough to swim

369
00:14:29,617 --> 00:14:30,617
in, mosquitoes will not be there.

370
00:14:30,617 --> 00:14:31,617
if someone is unable to take care

371
00:14:31,617 --> 00:14:32,617
of

372
00:14:32,617 --> 00:14:33,617
their swimming pool, they can request

373
00:14:33,617 --> 00:14:37,617
mosquito fish service. That is a service

374
00:14:37,617 --> 00:14:38,617
we have . A part of our mosquito program

375
00:14:38,617 --> 00:14:40,617
where we will come out and take a

376
00:14:40,617 --> 00:14:42,617
look at the

377
00:14:43,617 --> 00:14:45,617
swimming pool.

378
00:14:45,617 --> 00:14:46,617
if there are no mosquitoes or young mosquitoes

379
00:14:46,617 --> 00:14:47,617
in the water,

380
00:14:47,617 --> 00:14:49,617
we can place mosquito eating fish

381
00:14:49,617 --> 00:14:50,617
in that pool. Those fish will eat up the

382
00:14:50,617 --> 00:14:52,617
young mosquitoes before they become

383
00:14:52,617 --> 00:14:54,617
adult mosquitoes.

384
00:14:54,617 --> 00:14:55,617
if there are adult mosquitoes coming

385
00:14:55,617 --> 00:14:57,617
out of the water,

386
00:14:57,617 --> 00:14:58,617
we have to use different ways to deal with

387
00:14:58,617 --> 00:15:00,617
that particular

388
00:15:00,617 --> 00:15:04,617
swimming pool. But the bottom line is

389
00:15:04,617 --> 00:15:06,617
we really encourage folks to maintain

390
00:15:06,617 --> 00:15:10,617
their swimming pools. If they are unable

391
00:15:10,617 --> 00:15:12,617
or no one lives at the property anymore

392
00:15:12,617 --> 00:15:13,617
and there is a swimming pool behind,

393
00:15:13,617 --> 00:15:16,170
then absolutely report it

394
00:15:16,617 --> 00:15:17,617
to us .

395
00:15:17,617 --> 00:15:19,617
but if you are not the resident, understand we

396
00:15:19,617 --> 00:15:21,617
are prohibited from

397
00:15:22,617 --> 00:15:23,617
sharing

398
00:15:23,617 --> 00:15:25,617
any information of what we did on

399
00:15:25,617 --> 00:15:26,617
the property to someone who does

400
00:15:26,617 --> 00:15:26,917
not live on that property.

401
00:15:26,917 --> 00:15:28,917
>> I like

402
00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:31,617
the sense of privacy. You are not

403
00:15:31,617 --> 00:15:33,617
out to get

404
00:15:33,617 --> 00:15:36,617
anybody. You are just there to take care of

405
00:15:36,617 --> 00:15:37,670
the problem.

406
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:37,617
>> that's right. I will tell you

407
00:15:37,617 --> 00:15:38,617
in cases where there is

408
00:15:38,617 --> 00:15:40,617
a resident and we do talk with them,

409
00:15:40,617 --> 00:15:41,617
we are trying to get

410
00:15:41,617 --> 00:15:43,617
through to them to take care of their

411
00:15:43,617 --> 00:15:45,617
pool. If there is a resident

412
00:15:45,617 --> 00:15:46,617
and they are not responding to us,

413
00:15:46,617 --> 00:15:49,170
we will send them

414
00:15:49,617 --> 00:15:51,617
letters, ask them

415
00:15:52,617 --> 00:15:53,617
--

416
00:15:53,617 --> 00:15:55,617
all folks have to do if they have

417
00:15:55,617 --> 00:15:58,617
a swimming pool that has been reported

418
00:15:58,617 --> 00:16:00,617
to us as being neglected

419
00:16:00,617 --> 00:16:01,617
. But the resident knows it is in

420
00:16:01,617 --> 00:16:02,617
good working condition.

421
00:16:02,617 --> 00:16:04,617
all they have to do is use one of

422
00:16:04,617 --> 00:16:05,617
our letters that we have sent to

423
00:16:05,617 --> 00:16:07,617
them, take a selfie or have someone

424
00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:08,617
take a picture of them that shows

425
00:16:08,617 --> 00:16:10,617
the letter and the pool in the background,

426
00:16:10,617 --> 00:16:12,617
and they can send that to us.

427
00:16:12,617 --> 00:16:13,617
easy peasy. They are good to go. But when

428
00:16:13,617 --> 00:16:15,617
we don't hear

429
00:16:16,617 --> 00:16:18,617
from folks

430
00:16:18,617 --> 00:16:19,617
when it has been reported, we do try to follow

431
00:16:19,617 --> 00:16:21,617
up with them.

432
00:16:21,617 --> 00:16:22,617
>> thank you. >> thanks for your service.

433
00:16:22,617 --> 00:16:24,617

of dedicated service.

441
00:16:40,617 --> 00:16:40,817
this is an agency that plays a critical

442
00:16:40,817 --> 00:16:42,617
role

443
00:16:42,617 --> 00:16:44,617
in our local public health in maintaining

444
00:16:44,617 --> 00:16:46,617
local public health and sometimes

445
00:16:46,617 --> 00:16:46,800
it gets overlooked by the general public

446
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,617
,

447
00:16:47,617 --> 00:16:49,617

00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:40,617

00:18:40,617 --> 00:18:42,617

city clerk, do you mind

539
00:20:19,617 --> 00:20:20,617
reviewing either the speaker cards

540
00:20:20,617 --> 00:20:21,117
or anyone else who

541
00:20:21,117 --> 00:20:22,617
might have their hand raised that

542
00:20:22,617 --> 00:20:26,217
is interested in speaking in council

543
00:20:26,617 --> 00:20:27,670
chambers ?

544
00:20:27,670 --> 00:20:29,617
>> we don't have any speaker

545
00:20:29,617 --> 00:20:33,817
cards. So I will open it up.

546
00:20:38,617 --> 00:20:39,617
>> it should already be on. >> I

547
00:20:39,617 --> 00:20:41,617
believe you're talking about joltin

548
00:20:41,617 --> 00:20:44,617
joe tonight. I just want

549
00:20:44,617 --> 00:20:47,617
to say that so many --

550
00:20:47,617 --> 00:20:48,617
>> kristin, I'm sorry.

551
00:20:48,617 --> 00:20:52,617
if you're going to make public comment on

552
00:20:52,617 --> 00:20:53,617
joltin joe, we will have to wait until

553
00:20:53,617 --> 00:20:53,850
that item.

554
00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:55,617
>>

555
00:20:55,617 --> 00:20:56,617
it is tangential. Okay. I will just

556
00:20:56,617 --> 00:20:57,617
go

557
00:20:57,617 --> 00:20:59,617
straight into the meat of this, which

558
00:20:59,617 --> 00:21:01,617
is that

559
00:21:04,617 --> 00:21:07,617
it is not just the famous people that

560
00:21:07,617 --> 00:21:08,617
are historic . Sometimes they are

561
00:21:08,617 --> 00:21:10,617
not historic at

562
00:21:11,617 --> 00:21:13,617
all. As you know,

563
00:21:13,617 --> 00:21:14,617
I put italian history on the national

564
00:21:14,617 --> 00:21:16,617
registry of historic

565
00:21:17,617 --> 00:21:19,617
places because the historic

566
00:21:19,617 --> 00:21:24,417
society and the county and most of the

567
00:21:26,617 --> 00:21:26,883
council got together and said there is

568
00:21:26,883 --> 00:21:27,617
nothing historic

569
00:21:27,617 --> 00:21:29,617
about down there. So somebody could

570
00:21:29,617 --> 00:21:31,617
get a lot of money for

571
00:21:31,617 --> 00:21:35,217
their property. And that was, like

572
00:21:35,617 --> 00:21:37,617
, genocide to me. And it just

573
00:21:37,617 --> 00:21:38,617
shook me up. So I pursued that even though

574
00:21:38,617 --> 00:21:40,617
we lost

575
00:21:40,617 --> 00:21:45,417
the lawsuit for some years and put the

576
00:21:46,617 --> 00:21:47,617
--just the history on the national

577
00:21:47,617 --> 00:21:48,617
register of historic

578
00:21:48,617 --> 00:21:50,617
places. Joe dimaggio is just one tree

579
00:21:50,617 --> 00:21:52,617
--one standout tree

580
00:21:56,617 --> 00:21:58,617
--in these trees that in 1940 could not

581
00:21:58,617 --> 00:21:59,617
even write the cities giving them

582
00:21:59,617 --> 00:22:01,617
the coast

583
00:22:02,617 --> 00:22:04,617
line to fish for one dollar.

584
00:22:04,617 --> 00:22:05,617
they are giving them because they

585
00:22:05,617 --> 00:22:07,617
contributed so much

586
00:22:08,617 --> 00:22:11,617
. And I think it is important. I

587
00:22:11,617 --> 00:22:14,170
don't, but everyone does

588
00:22:14,617 --> 00:22:15,617
--to see when we were so

589
00:22:15,617 --> 00:22:17,617
closely connected to the environment.

590
00:22:17,617 --> 00:22:20,170
and that goes for

591
00:22:20,617 --> 00:22:22,617
the italian fishermen

592
00:22:23,617 --> 00:22:26,170
. And as ai comes

593
00:22:31,617 --> 00:22:32,617
and were more separated and separated

594
00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:33,117
and separated from

595
00:22:33,117 --> 00:22:34,617
everything with other people telling

596
00:22:34,617 --> 00:22:35,617
us what to do and think and feel and

597
00:22:35,617 --> 00:22:36,617
taste. Only

598
00:22:36,617 --> 00:22:38,617
people who get put up on screens get

599
00:22:38,617 --> 00:22:41,617
to tell us what we should value.

600
00:22:41,617 --> 00:22:44,617
their history is even more important

601
00:22:44,617 --> 00:22:47,617
to us as human beings

602
00:22:47,617 --> 00:22:50,170
connected to our environment

603
00:22:50,617 --> 00:22:52,617
and connected to being alive. And

604
00:22:52,617 --> 00:22:53,617
I will say more when I'm allowed to when

605
00:22:53,617 --> 00:22:55,617
joltin joe comes

606
00:22:56,617 --> 00:22:56,850
up . Thanks.

607

>>

608
00:22:59,617 --> 00:23:00,617
thank you. Anyone

609
00:23:00,617 --> 00:23:02,617
else in council chambers wish to make

610
00:23:02,617 --> 00:23:04,617
comment?

611
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:08,617
I see no hands, so I'm going

612
00:23:08,617 --> 00:23:10,617
to move to

614
00:23:14,617 --> 00:23:15,617

let's move forward with

624
00:23:34,617 --> 00:23:35,617
the consent calendar. The consent

625
00:23:35,617 --> 00:23:38,617
calendar is made up of items three

626
00:23:38,617 --> 00:23:40,617
through eight.

627
00:23:43,617 --> 00:23:44,617
does anyone on council wish to pull one

628
00:23:44,617 --> 00:23:44,850
of those for discussion?

629
00:23:44,850 --> 00:23:46,617
>>

630
00:23:46,617 --> 00:23:47,617
yes, madam mayor. I would like to ask

631
00:23:47,617 --> 00:23:48,617

00:23:48,617 --> 00:23:49,000

634
00:23:53,617 --> 00:23:53,817
okay. Seeing none, I'm going to open

635
00:23:53,817 --> 00:23:55,617

639
00:23:59,617 --> 00:24:01,617
on those

640
00:24:02,617 --> 00:24:04,617
five items?

641

>>

642
00:24:07,617 --> 00:24:08,617
I see no hands in council chambers.

>> okay. All right. I will

>> all right.

660
00:24:43,617 --> 00:24:44,617
thank you for your patience with me

661
00:24:44,617 --> 00:24:47,170
tonight. All of our

662
00:24:47,617 --> 00:24:47,867
boats need to be done by voice.

663
00:24:47,867 --> 00:24:47,867
>> yes.

14

669
00:25:11,617 --> 00:25:11,850
malhi, what was your question?

670
00:25:11,850 --> 00:25:12,617
>>

671
00:25:12,617 --> 00:25:14,617
very quickly, just wanted to clarify

672
00:25:14,617 --> 00:25:17,617
a couple of items. With

673
00:25:17,617 --> 00:25:19,617
respect to

674
00:25:22,617 --> 00:25:24,617
the proposal in front of us today, as

675
00:25:24,617 --> 00:25:25,617
you may recall, we

676
00:25:25,617 --> 00:25:26,617
did have a previous discussion about

677
00:25:26,617 --> 00:25:27,617
sound mitigation efforts at the pickleball

678
00:25:27,617 --> 00:25:29,617
courts. I

679
00:25:30,617 --> 00:25:33,617
was just wondering if the

680
00:25:33,617 --> 00:25:35,617
selected bidder

681
00:25:36,617 --> 00:25:38,617
, if you will, had

682
00:25:38,617 --> 00:25:39,617
brought forward any additional information

683
00:25:39,617 --> 00:25:41,617
on

684
00:25:41,617 --> 00:25:44,617
that or any additional input to help

685
00:25:44,617 --> 00:25:45,617
minimize those sound impacts, which

686
00:25:45,617 --> 00:25:47,617
I know

687
00:25:48,617 --> 00:25:50,617
have been a concern

688
00:25:50,617 --> 00:25:51,617
by some of the local residents. Just

689
00:25:51,617 --> 00:25:52,617
wanted to see

690
00:25:52,617 --> 00:25:54,617
if there was any updates on that that

691
00:25:54,617 --> 00:25:57,617
you might be able to

692
00:25:57,617 --> 00:25:57,850
share tonight.

693
00:25:57,850 --> 00:25:59,617
>>

694
00:25:59,617 --> 00:26:03,217
no updates with the proposed contractor

695
00:26:03,617 --> 00:26:05,617
.

696
00:26:06,617 --> 00:26:08,617
communication with him

697
00:26:08,617 --> 00:26:09,617
is just confirming his bid that he

698
00:26:09,617 --> 00:26:12,617
was still interested in moving forward

699
00:26:12,617 --> 00:26:14,617
and preparing the

700
00:26:16,617 --> 00:26:18,617
contract documents pending tonight's

701
00:26:18,617 --> 00:26:20,617
award. He is working

702
00:26:20,617 --> 00:26:21,617
on preparing project submittals and

703
00:26:21,617 --> 00:26:24,170
schedules and so forth.

704
00:26:24,617 --> 00:26:27,617
the mitigation measures were incorporated

705
00:26:27,617 --> 00:26:30,170
into the design. It

706
00:26:30,617 --> 00:26:34,217
was part of the contract award.

707
00:26:34,617 --> 00:26:36,617
>> they did not raise any questions

708
00:26:36,617 --> 00:26:37,617
or concerns about that. They

709
00:26:37,617 --> 00:26:38,617
felt it was very doable and appropriate.

710
00:26:38,617 --> 00:26:39,617
>> correct. >> great. The second piece

711
00:26:39,617 --> 00:26:40,617
I wanted

712
00:26:40,617 --> 00:26:42,617
to confirm in the staff report it

713
00:26:42,617 --> 00:26:45,617
did note that there was

714
00:26:45,617 --> 00:26:47,617
a shortage between

715
00:26:50,617 --> 00:26:52,617
what we thought it was going to -- what we

716
00:26:52,617 --> 00:26:54,617
thought it was going to cost and what

717
00:26:54,617 --> 00:26:55,617
it came in above

718
00:26:55,617 --> 00:26:57,617
the original estimate. And to help

719
00:26:57,617 --> 00:26:58,100
make up for that

720
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:00,617
shortfall, one of the proposals is

721
00:27:00,617 --> 00:27:02,617
to take $22,000

722
00:27:03,617 --> 00:27:05,617
roughly

723
00:27:06,617 --> 00:27:08,617
out of the pg&e mitigation

724
00:27:08,617 --> 00:27:09,617
funds, which if I understand correctly

725
00:27:09,617 --> 00:27:11,617
where

726
00:27:11,617 --> 00:27:13,617
to help with landscape restoration associated

727
00:27:13,617 --> 00:27:15,617
with the replacement of the tower

728
00:27:15,617 --> 00:27:17,617
. Is

729
00:27:18,617 --> 00:27:18,933
that right?

730
00:27:18,933 --> 00:27:20,933
>> correct.

731
00:27:24,617 --> 00:27:25,617
pg&e damaged

732
00:27:25,617 --> 00:27:26,617
some of the landscape. We knew we

733
00:27:26,617 --> 00:27:27,617
had this project moving forward rather

734
00:27:27,617 --> 00:27:30,170
than have them install

735
00:27:30,617 --> 00:27:32,617
the landscape

736
00:27:32,617 --> 00:27:33,617
previously and right in the middle

737
00:27:33,617 --> 00:27:34,617
of our work

738
00:27:34,617 --> 00:27:36,617
zone, we took the contribution for it

739
00:27:36,617 --> 00:27:38,617
and that work

740
00:27:38,617 --> 00:27:42,217
is incorporated into the contractor's work.

741
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:45,617
so it is kind of

742
00:27:45,617 --> 00:27:46,617
--they paid us and we are

743
00:27:46,617 --> 00:27:48,617
paying the contractor for the impacts to

744
00:27:48,617 --> 00:27:50,617
the project

745
00:27:53,617 --> 00:27:54,670
.

746
00:27:54,670 --> 00:27:54,617
>> the only reason I bring that

747
00:27:54,617 --> 00:27:55,617
up as

748
00:27:55,617 --> 00:27:57,617
I know some residents had also expressed

749
00:27:57,617 --> 00:27:59,617
some concern to me about just wanting to

750
00:27:59,617 --> 00:28:00,617
make sure that we were able to kind

751
00:28:00,617 --> 00:28:02,617
of spruce that place

752
00:28:02,617 --> 00:28:03,617
back up to what it was originally.

753
00:28:03,617 --> 00:28:04,617
and

754
00:28:04,617 --> 00:28:06,617
so I just wanted to make sure that

755
00:28:06,617 --> 00:28:07,617
we are still on target

756
00:28:07,617 --> 00:28:09,617
and it will still look aesthetically pleasing

757
00:28:09,617 --> 00:28:12,617
when all is said and done.

758
00:28:12,617 --> 00:28:13,617
>> correct. >>

759
00:28:13,617 --> 00:28:14,617
okay. Great. That's it. Thank you

760
00:28:14,617 --> 00:28:15,670
so much.

761
00:28:15,670 --> 00:28:15,617
>> anyone else from the dais

762
00:28:15,617 --> 00:28:17,617
have

763
00:28:18,617 --> 00:28:20,617
any follow-up questions?

764
00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:23,617
all right. Seeing none,

765
00:28:23,617 --> 00:28:27,617
any questions or comments from the public

766
00:28:27,617 --> 00:28:30,617
on consent calendar item seven?

767
00:28:30,617 --> 00:28:32,617
>> we will start

768
00:28:32,617 --> 00:28:33,617
with chambers. Is anyone present who

769
00:28:33,617 --> 00:28:35,617

proceed with the presentation.

829
00:30:50,617 --> 00:30:51,617
>> thank you, mayor. Good evening,

830
00:30:51,617 --> 00:30:53,617
members of the city council.

831
00:30:53,617 --> 00:30:54,617
I'm associate planner dan gordon.

832
00:30:54,617 --> 00:30:56,617
I'm here tonight to present the proposed

833
00:30:56,617 --> 00:30:59,617
zoning text and zoning map amendments.

834
00:30:59,617 --> 00:31:00,617
it is another whopper, so I appreciate

835
00:31:00,617 --> 00:31:02,617
your patience

836
00:31:08,617 --> 00:31:09,617
and in the interest of brevity I will read

837
00:31:09,617 --> 00:31:10,617
the full recommendation at the

838
00:31:10,617 --> 00:31:12,617
end of my presentation. A lot of this

839
00:31:12,617 --> 00:31:12,817
you are seeing tonight should be familiar to

840
00:31:12,817 --> 00:31:14,617
you

841
00:31:14,617 --> 00:31:15,617
since we have had study sessions on

842
00:31:15,617 --> 00:31:17,617
it. Okay.

843
00:31:18,617 --> 00:31:18,800
so the primary goal of this ordinance

844
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,617
is

845
00:31:19,617 --> 00:31:21,617
to come principally update the permitted

846
00:31:21,617 --> 00:31:23,617
and conditionally permitted

847
00:31:23,617 --> 00:31:24,617
uses in the code. But several other

848
00:31:24,617 --> 00:31:26,617
items have also been included

849
00:31:26,617 --> 00:31:27,617
in this ordinance and these include

850
00:31:27,617 --> 00:31:30,617
new and revised definitions to go

851
00:31:30,617 --> 00:31:32,617
with those uses

852
00:31:33,617 --> 00:31:33,883
. The inclusion of industrial zoning incentives,

853
00:31:33,883 --> 00:31:34,617
a new chapter on

854
00:31:34,617 --> 00:31:36,617
temporary use permits, which contains

855
00:31:36,617 --> 00:31:39,617
new regulations for food trucks

856
00:31:39,617 --> 00:31:42,617
, some changes to the regulations,

857
00:31:42,617 --> 00:31:45,617
rezoning of parcels and some other

858
00:31:45,617 --> 00:31:47,617
minor changes.

859
00:31:51,617 --> 00:31:55,617
so let's go over why these changes

860
00:31:55,617 --> 00:31:58,617
are necessary in the first

861
00:31:59,617 --> 00:32:00,617
place. There are four main reasons. The

862
00:32:00,617 --> 00:32:01,617
first is that the municipal code was

863
00:32:01,617 --> 00:32:02,617
last

864
00:32:02,617 --> 00:32:04,617
competently updated in 1975. So most

865
00:32:04,617 --> 00:32:07,617
of the uses listed are not

866
00:32:07,617 --> 00:32:08,133
just dated

867
00:32:08,133 --> 00:32:10,617
but downright archaic. I'm just going

868
00:32:10,617 --> 00:32:11,617
to list a few of the

869
00:32:11,617 --> 00:32:12,617
uses the code specifically identifies to illustrate

870
00:32:12,617 --> 00:32:16,617
this point. It does include messenger offices

871
00:32:16,617 --> 00:32:18,617
, shops, telephone exchanges,

872
00:32:22,617 --> 00:32:23,150
stores. Umbrella repair

873
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:24,617
shops. Telegraph offices, and my own

874
00:32:24,617 --> 00:32:27,617
personal favorite, ice storage sheds.

875
00:32:27,617 --> 00:32:29,617
why this is problematic is because martinez

876
00:32:29,617 --> 00:32:33,617
has what is known as permissive zoning.

877
00:32:33,617 --> 00:32:35,617
that means that only the uses that are

878
00:32:35,617 --> 00:32:37,617
specifically listed in the code are

879
00:32:37,617 --> 00:32:41,217
allowed to operate within the city.

880
00:32:42,617 --> 00:32:43,617
so we have a situation now where the

881
00:32:43,617 --> 00:32:44,617
uses that were commonplace 50

882
00:32:44,617 --> 00:32:46,617
years ago are now restricting the businesses

883
00:32:46,617 --> 00:32:47,617
we can and cannot have in

884
00:32:47,617 --> 00:32:49,617
the city. The second main reason is

885
00:32:49,617 --> 00:32:51,617
the housing element.

886
00:32:53,617 --> 00:32:54,617
the housing element obligates the

887
00:32:54,617 --> 00:32:55,617
city to complete several programs

888
00:32:55,617 --> 00:32:56,617
by the end

889
00:32:56,617 --> 00:32:57,617
of this year. These programs are also

890
00:32:57,617 --> 00:32:58,617
reflected in the planning division's

891
00:32:58,617 --> 00:32:59,617
workplan that

892
00:32:59,617 --> 00:33:00,617
you reviewed. These revisions propose

893
00:33:00,617 --> 00:33:01,617
to accomplish the following four tasks

894
00:33:01,617 --> 00:33:02,617
from that workplan.

895
00:33:02,617 --> 00:33:05,617
task 28 updating accessory dwelling unit

896
00:33:06,617 --> 00:33:07,617
regulations. Task 36. Updating food

897
00:33:07,617 --> 00:33:09,617
truck regulations.

898
00:33:09,617 --> 00:33:12,170
establishing industrial zoning incentives.

899
00:33:12,617 --> 00:33:15,617
task 41. Updating the permitted and

900
00:33:16,617 --> 00:33:17,617
additionally permitted uses of

901
00:33:17,617 --> 00:33:19,617
code. The third reason is consistency

902
00:33:19,617 --> 00:33:20,617
and ease-of-use.

903
00:33:20,617 --> 00:33:22,617
there's a lot of overly complicated

904
00:33:22,617 --> 00:33:23,617
terminology, jargon, and

905
00:33:23,617 --> 00:33:25,617
phrasing to introduce more user-friendly language.

906
00:33:25,617 --> 00:33:26,617
last

907
00:33:26,617 --> 00:33:30,817
is the evolving needs of the community.

908
00:33:33,617 --> 00:33:34,617
this goes hand in hand with the archaic

909
00:33:34,617 --> 00:33:36,617
language problem since we want to

910
00:33:36,617 --> 00:33:38,617
make sure martinez is ready to take advantage of

911
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:41,617
the new businesses and technologies.

912
00:33:42,617 --> 00:33:43,617
so let's dive into these proposed

913
00:33:43,617 --> 00:33:44,617
changes. The first

914
00:33:44,617 --> 00:33:48,617
is the update to the permitted uses.

915
00:33:48,617 --> 00:33:49,617
staff is proposing to move from a

916
00:33:49,617 --> 00:33:50,617
very long list of

917
00:33:50,617 --> 00:33:52,617
specific uses since we have now a

918
00:33:52,617 --> 00:33:55,617
category of based approaches that are

919
00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:56,617
more flexible.

920
00:33:56,617 --> 00:33:58,617
for instance, instead of having things like dry-cleaning

921
00:33:58,617 --> 00:34:00,617
and pet grooming

922
00:34:01,617 --> 00:34:02,617
listed individually, these

923
00:34:02,617 --> 00:34:03,617
would be grouped under the broader category

924
00:34:03,617 --> 00:34:04,617
of personal services. This provides

925
00:34:04,617 --> 00:34:06,617
more flexibility

926
00:34:07,617 --> 00:34:08,617
and helps code as it

927
00:34:08,617 --> 00:34:10,617
leaves open the potential for businesses

928
00:34:10,617 --> 00:34:12,617
that haven't been

929
00:34:16,617 --> 00:34:18,617
yet. One notable change to the

930
00:34:18,617 --> 00:34:22,217
permitted uses is the heavy industrial

931
00:34:24,617 --> 00:34:25,617
zoning district. The elimination of

932
00:34:25,617 --> 00:34:26,617
refining as a permitted use.

933
00:34:26,617 --> 00:34:27,617
however, this won't affect any active

934
00:34:27,617 --> 00:34:30,617
uses in the heavy industrial zoning district.

935
00:34:30,617 --> 00:34:31,617
pbf energy does not actually conduct

936
00:34:31,617 --> 00:34:33,617
any

937
00:34:34,617 --> 00:34:36,617
refining within city

938
00:34:38,617 --> 00:34:39,617
-- within the city limits. So their operations

939
00:34:39,617 --> 00:34:40,617
are limited to storage, which would

940
00:34:40,617 --> 00:34:42,617
continue to

941
00:34:42,617 --> 00:34:46,617
be a permitted use in the heavy industrial

942
00:34:46,617 --> 00:34:48,617
zoning district.

943
00:34:51,617 --> 00:34:52,617
definitions have also been included in

944
00:34:52,617 --> 00:34:52,800
this update. Primarily these relate

945
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,617
to

946
00:34:53,617 --> 00:34:55,617
the new year's categories I mentioned

947
00:34:55,617 --> 00:34:56,617
being established

948
00:34:56,617 --> 00:34:57,617
and some definitions were revised

949
00:34:57,617 --> 00:35:01,217
for clarity or modernization of language.

950
00:35:03,617 --> 00:35:04,617
here is a list of all of the definitions.

951
00:35:04,617 --> 00:35:07,170
I'm not going to

952
00:35:07,617 --> 00:35:08,617
get into the mall. I will just

953
00:35:08,617 --> 00:35:09,617
call out some of these new categories.

954
00:35:09,617 --> 00:35:10,617
for example, categories for things

955
00:35:10,617 --> 00:35:12,617
like craftsmanship

956
00:35:13,617 --> 00:35:14,167
, financial institution,

957
00:35:14,167 --> 00:35:16,567
personal services, professional services,

958
00:35:16,617 --> 00:35:19,617
public entertainment venue, at wholesale establishment.

959
00:35:19,617 --> 00:35:21,617
next

960
00:35:21,617 --> 00:35:22,617
up is the new chapter on temporary

961
00:35:22,617 --> 00:35:24,617
use permits. Temporary

962
00:35:25,617 --> 00:35:28,617
use permits --you will be

963
00:35:28,617 --> 00:35:30,617
familiar from our study session.

964
00:35:30,617 --> 00:35:31,617
they don't run with the land. They

965
00:35:31,617 --> 00:35:33,617
are time-limited and

966
00:35:35,617 --> 00:35:37,617
processed at the administrative level.

967
00:35:37,617 --> 00:35:37,900
they make a lot of sense when you

968
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:39,617
are permitting

969
00:35:39,617 --> 00:35:40,617
uses like christmas tree lights or

970
00:35:40,617 --> 00:35:41,617
uses that merit regular

971
00:35:41,617 --> 00:35:44,170
reinspection like construction staging.

972
00:35:49,617 --> 00:35:50,617
and why we are recommending temporary

973
00:35:50,617 --> 00:35:52,617
use permit chapter is twofold. First,

974
00:35:52,617 --> 00:35:54,617
it is just good practice since

975
00:35:54,617 --> 00:35:55,617
a lot of cities see temporary uses

976
00:35:55,617 --> 00:35:57,617
all the time. Second is that

977
00:35:57,617 --> 00:36:01,617
your special study session you endorsed using

978
00:36:01,617 --> 00:36:03,617
temporary use permit process to

979
00:36:03,617 --> 00:36:07,217
regulate food trucks throughout the city.

980
00:36:08,617 --> 00:36:09,617
and the city council also endorsed

981
00:36:09,617 --> 00:36:10,617
some of the regulations that would

982
00:36:10,617 --> 00:36:11,617
apply

983
00:36:11,617 --> 00:36:13,617
to food trucks that I will get into

984
00:36:13,617 --> 00:36:16,617
next. Specifically focusing on mobile vendors

985
00:36:16,617 --> 00:36:18,617
, a.k.a. Food trucks.

986
00:36:18,617 --> 00:36:22,617
I will just briefly touch on these.

987
00:36:22,617 --> 00:36:25,617
sorry. Let me just make

988
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:27,617
sure. Yeah.

989
00:36:27,617 --> 00:36:28,617
specifically those food trucks that operate

990
00:36:28,617 --> 00:36:29,617
in the public

991
00:36:29,617 --> 00:36:30,617
right-of-way. Essentially the city

992
00:36:30,617 --> 00:36:31,617
cannot prohibit food trucks from operating

993
00:36:31,617 --> 00:36:33,617
in legal

994
00:36:34,617 --> 00:36:36,617
parking spaces

995
00:36:42,617 --> 00:36:43,617
. However, the city can impose what

996
00:36:43,617 --> 00:36:44,617
are known as time, place, and

997
00:36:44,617 --> 00:36:45,617
manner restrictions so long as those

998
00:36:45,617 --> 00:36:46,617
restrictions have a health and safety

999
00:36:46,617 --> 00:36:49,170
rationale. The city is

1000
00:36:49,617 --> 00:36:50,617
proposing such restrictions.

1001
00:36:50,617 --> 00:36:52,617
restricting hours of operation to

1002
00:36:52,617 --> 00:36:52,867
7:00 a.m. To 10:00 p.m. The requirement to

1003
00:36:52,867 --> 00:36:53,617
provide a

1004
00:36:53,617 --> 00:36:56,617
waste receptacle. Prohibition from operating

1005
00:36:57,617 --> 00:36:58,617
is greater than 35 miles per hour

1006
00:36:58,617 --> 00:37:00,617
for pedestrian safety.

1007
00:37:04,617 --> 00:37:05,617
and if the food truck is parked in its

1008
00:37:05,617 --> 00:37:07,617
space for longer than one hour, a

1009
00:37:07,617 --> 00:37:07,817
requirement to be greater than 100

1010
00:37:07,817 --> 00:37:09,617
feet to

1011
00:37:09,617 --> 00:37:10,617
locate greater than 100 feet from other

1012
00:37:10,617 --> 00:37:12,617
food

1013
00:37:12,617 --> 00:37:13,617
trucks in a parking space and a requirement

1014
00:37:13,617 --> 00:37:16,617
to be located within 200 feet of a readily

1015
00:37:16,617 --> 00:37:18,617
available restroom facility.

1016
00:37:22,617 --> 00:37:24,617
sorry.

1017
00:37:25,617 --> 00:37:28,170
okay. The next change

1018
00:37:28,617 --> 00:37:30,617
is setbacks and building

1019
00:37:30,617 --> 00:37:31,617
separation requirements. This one

1020
00:37:31,617 --> 00:37:34,617
should be familiar to you since it was

1021
00:37:34,617 --> 00:37:37,170
included in the cloud

1022
00:37:37,617 --> 00:37:39,617
--code cleanup package you

1023
00:37:39,617 --> 00:37:40,617
endorsed last year. Moving the city

1024
00:37:40,617 --> 00:37:41,617
from using a pump comp

1025
00:37:41,617 --> 00:37:43,617
located equation to cockfighting setbacks

1026
00:37:43,617 --> 00:37:43,817
and building separation requirements

1027
00:37:43,817 --> 00:37:45,817
to a

1028
00:37:46,617 --> 00:37:49,617
standardized easy to use table.

1029
00:37:49,617 --> 00:37:51,617
and

1030
00:37:51,617 --> 00:37:52,617
as I have mentioned, we have already

1031
00:37:52,617 --> 00:37:53,617
done this for residential districts

1032
00:37:53,617 --> 00:37:55,617
last year. So this would just bring

1033
00:37:55,617 --> 00:37:55,817
consistency between all the cities

1034
00:37:55,817 --> 00:37:57,817
and

1035
00:37:58,617 --> 00:38:01,617
zoning districts. As part of the update

1036
00:38:01,617 --> 00:38:04,170
to the new uses

1037
00:38:10,617 --> 00:38:11,417
, staff is proposing to include a

1038
00:38:11,417 --> 00:38:12,670
section on

1039
00:38:12,670 --> 00:38:12,617
performance standards specifically for industrial

1040
00:38:12,617 --> 00:38:14,617
and research development zoning districts.

1041
00:38:14,617 --> 00:38:15,617
this just reflects the

1042
00:38:15,617 --> 00:38:16,617
reality that the uses in these districts have

1043
00:38:16,617 --> 00:38:17,617
the potential to pose greater impacts

1044
00:38:17,617 --> 00:38:18,617
in

1045
00:38:18,617 --> 00:38:19,617
neighboring products then uses in

1046
00:38:19,617 --> 00:38:22,617
presidential --residential or commercial districts.

1047
00:38:27,617 --> 00:38:28,617
things like noise, vibration, radioactivity, electrical

1048
00:38:28,617 --> 00:38:29,617
disturbances, explosive materials,

1049
00:38:29,617 --> 00:38:32,170
air pollution, heat, dust

1050
00:38:32,617 --> 00:38:34,617
in particular manner

1051
00:38:34,617 --> 00:38:37,617
--matter. Performance standards differ from

1052
00:38:38,617 --> 00:38:40,617
required conditions

1053
00:38:44,617 --> 00:38:45,117
, which is a required

1054
00:38:45,117 --> 00:38:45,617
section of the code, because they

1055
00:38:45,617 --> 00:38:47,617
include ongoing activities. Required

1056
00:38:47,617 --> 00:38:49,617
conditions just regulate

1057
00:38:49,617 --> 00:38:50,617
the condition of the property. Speaking of required conditions, in the

1058
00:38:50,617 --> 00:38:52,617
commercial district

1059
00:38:52,617 --> 00:38:55,617
chapter, there were multiple duplicative

1060
00:39:00,617 --> 00:39:01,617
sections on required conditions. Staff

1061
00:39:01,617 --> 00:39:02,617
is proposing to condense and simple

1062
00:39:02,617 --> 00:39:03,617
by these into

1063
00:39:03,617 --> 00:39:05,617
a new section on enclosure fencing

1064
00:39:05,617 --> 00:39:08,617
and requirements. One new change

1065
00:39:08,617 --> 00:39:09,617
being proposed

1066
00:39:09,617 --> 00:39:11,617
as part of this is a requirement for

1067
00:39:11,617 --> 00:39:12,617
anyone seeking a planning

1068
00:39:12,617 --> 00:39:14,617
entitlement to activate the ground floor frontage

1069
00:39:14,617 --> 00:39:16,617
of any tenant space

1070
00:39:16,617 --> 00:39:17,617
in the central commercial zoning district by

1071
00:39:17,617 --> 00:39:19,617
providing some

1072
00:39:20,617 --> 00:39:21,617
sort of visual display as this

1073
00:39:21,617 --> 00:39:23,617
will help create a vibrant feeling downtown.

1074
00:39:23,617 --> 00:39:25,617
this requirement

1075
00:39:25,617 --> 00:39:27,617
would apply to all commercial uses but

1076
00:39:27,617 --> 00:39:29,617
nonretail uses like restaurants or

1077
00:39:29,617 --> 00:39:31,617
nail salons

1078
00:39:34,617 --> 00:39:35,617
would be able to satisfy this requirement

1079
00:39:35,617 --> 00:39:37,617
by having fully transparent windows

1080
00:39:37,617 --> 00:39:41,617
so you can see the activity going on.

1081
00:39:41,617 --> 00:39:43,617
the city council

1082
00:39:43,617 --> 00:39:44,617
also had a special session last month

1083
00:39:44,617 --> 00:39:46,617
to discuss

1084
00:39:48,617 --> 00:39:50,617
zoning incentives to incentivize high-value

1085
00:39:50,617 --> 00:39:52,617
industrial development. And

1086
00:39:56,617 --> 00:39:57,617
they endorsed several revisions.

1087
00:39:57,617 --> 00:39:59,617
municipal code on that respect. These included a

1088
00:39:59,617 --> 00:40:00,617
decrease in the minimum setbacks for

1089
00:40:00,617 --> 00:40:04,617
the research and development and industrial districts

1090
00:40:04,617 --> 00:40:05,617
to 10 feet for the front yard, zero feet

1091
00:40:05,617 --> 00:40:07,617
for the rear

1092
00:40:07,617 --> 00:40:08,617
and side yards, except when abutting

1093
00:40:08,617 --> 00:40:09,617
a residential zoning district

1094
00:40:09,617 --> 00:40:13,217
where greater setbacks would be required.

1095
00:40:13,617 --> 00:40:14,617
also an increase in the permitted flooring area

1096
00:40:14,617 --> 00:40:16,617
ratio from

1097
00:40:17,617 --> 00:40:18,617
.4 to 2.0

1098
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:20,617
. A reduction in required front yard landscaping

1099
00:40:20,617 --> 00:40:21,617
from 100% of the front yard

1100
00:40:21,617 --> 00:40:23,617
to 15%. The establishment of a community

1101
00:40:23,617 --> 00:40:25,617
benefit program

1102
00:40:26,617 --> 00:40:29,617
for greater floor area ratio

1103
00:40:35,617 --> 00:40:36,617
when

1104
00:40:36,617 --> 00:40:37,617
a community benefit is provided. All

1105
00:40:37,617 --> 00:40:38,617
of these revisions have been included

1106
00:40:38,617 --> 00:40:39,617
in this effort with the

1107
00:40:39,617 --> 00:40:40,617
exception of the changes to the floor

1108
00:40:40,617 --> 00:40:41,617
area ratio and community benefit bonus

1109
00:40:41,617 --> 00:40:42,617
program.

1110
00:40:42,617 --> 00:40:44,617
those will have to be included in

1111
00:40:44,617 --> 00:40:44,833
a later effort as they require a general

1112
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:46,833
plan.

1113
00:40:47,617 --> 00:40:49,617
and just to quickly illustrate

1114
00:40:49,617 --> 00:40:50,617
the point of how restrictive some

1115
00:40:50,617 --> 00:40:51,617
of the

1116
00:40:51,617 --> 00:40:52,617
current development standards are

1117
00:40:52,617 --> 00:40:53,617
for the city's industrial zoning districts, I've

1118
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:55,617
got

1119
00:40:56,617 --> 00:40:59,617
two little diagrams for you.

1120
00:41:04,617 --> 00:41:05,133
the first is a parcel in the heavy

1121
00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:05,617
industrial district. You can see it

1122
00:41:05,617 --> 00:41:06,617
here on the

1123
00:41:06,617 --> 00:41:08,617
screen in green. It is technically

1124
00:41:08,617 --> 00:41:10,617
two parcels. Let's just say somebody wanted to

1125
00:41:10,617 --> 00:41:11,617
develop it as one. You can see this is

1126
00:41:11,617 --> 00:41:12,617
the existing parcel. In

1127
00:41:12,617 --> 00:41:14,617
the next one is the amount of space

1128
00:41:14,617 --> 00:41:14,867
they would actually be able to develop.

1129
00:41:14,867 --> 00:41:15,617
they would

1130
00:41:15,617 --> 00:41:18,170
be severely restrictive. Similarly,

1131
00:41:20,617 --> 00:41:23,617
periods of parcel in the light industrial

1132
00:41:23,617 --> 00:41:23,817
district on how road outlined here

1133
00:41:23,817 --> 00:41:25,817
in green

1134
00:41:26,617 --> 00:41:29,170
in the purple area.

1135
00:41:29,617 --> 00:41:29,817
and this is the area that they would actually be

1136
00:41:29,817 --> 00:41:31,617
able to

1137
00:41:31,617 --> 00:41:32,617
develop. You will notice the current state of

1138
00:41:32,617 --> 00:41:34,617
this parcel

1139
00:41:35,617 --> 00:41:37,617
does not actually even comply with the

1140
00:41:37,617 --> 00:41:38,617
existing requirements . Staff believe it

1141
00:41:38,617 --> 00:41:40,617
makes sense

1142
00:41:42,617 --> 00:41:44,617
especially in these instances because

1143
00:41:44,617 --> 00:41:47,617
it is surrounded by other

1144
00:41:47,617 --> 00:41:47,817
industrial uses. The new industrial uses

1145
00:41:47,817 --> 00:41:49,617
they

1146
00:41:49,617 --> 00:41:50,617
go into a parcel like this in light

1147
00:41:50,617 --> 00:41:50,900
industrial zoning district have much

1148
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:52,617
fewer impacts

1149
00:41:52,617 --> 00:41:53,617
on neighboring properties than the light

1150
00:41:53,617 --> 00:41:55,617
industrial uses

1151
00:41:58,617 --> 00:41:59,617
that were envisaged in the 1970s when

1152
00:41:59,617 --> 00:42:01,617
this section of

1153
00:42:02,617 --> 00:42:05,170
the code was introduced.

1154
00:42:11,617 --> 00:42:13,617
and as staff reviewed

1155
00:42:13,617 --> 00:42:14,617
all of the uses in the code, we also reviewed

1156
00:42:14,617 --> 00:42:16,617
the zoning districts in the

1157
00:42:16,617 --> 00:42:17,617
code and determined several of them could

1158
00:42:17,617 --> 00:42:18,617
be eliminated. These include the thoroughfare commercial

1159
00:42:18,617 --> 00:42:19,617
recreation, controlled industrial,

1160
00:42:19,617 --> 00:42:20,617
and undesignated zoning districts.

1161
00:42:20,617 --> 00:42:21,617
the thoroughfare commercial zoning

1162
00:42:21,617 --> 00:42:23,617
district only applied to the commercial

1163
00:42:23,617 --> 00:42:26,617
stretch of ambra avenue between

1164
00:42:26,617 --> 00:42:28,617
the high school as

1165
00:42:28,617 --> 00:42:32,617
well as three parcels on arnold drive

1166
00:42:32,617 --> 00:42:34,617
. The only additional uses

1167
00:42:34,617 --> 00:42:35,617
that this district allowed over the neighborhood

1168
00:42:35,617 --> 00:42:36,617
commercial district

1169
00:42:36,617 --> 00:42:38,617
where mortuaries, vehicle sales and

1170
00:42:38,617 --> 00:42:41,170
repair, public entertainment like

1171
00:42:41,617 --> 00:42:42,617
bowling

1172
00:42:42,617 --> 00:42:44,617
alleys and veterinarians offices.

1173
00:42:44,617 --> 00:42:47,617
so these uses are proposed to be included within the

1174
00:42:47,617 --> 00:42:47,883
neighborhood commercial district for

1175
00:42:47,883 --> 00:42:49,883
properties along

1176
00:42:50,617 --> 00:42:53,170
specifically major thoroughfares and

1177
00:42:53,617 --> 00:42:55,617
alhambra

1178
00:42:55,617 --> 00:42:56,617
avenue is identified as a major thoroughfare.

1179
00:42:56,617 --> 00:42:59,617
so it will allow all of

1180
00:42:59,617 --> 00:43:03,217
those uses to be active uses.

1181
00:43:04,617 --> 00:43:05,617
the commercial recreation zoning district

1182
00:43:05,617 --> 00:43:05,817
only applied to four parcels near

1183
00:43:05,817 --> 00:43:07,817
the

1184
00:43:08,617 --> 00:43:10,617
intersection of

1185
00:43:11,617 --> 00:43:12,617
mir road and

1186
00:43:12,617 --> 00:43:14,617
central avenue. None of the parcels have

1187
00:43:14,617 --> 00:43:14,867
an active use that could be considerably

1188
00:43:14,867 --> 00:43:16,867
described

1189
00:43:17,617 --> 00:43:19,617
as existing recreation.

1190
00:43:23,617 --> 00:43:24,617
so these parcels are proposed to

1191
00:43:24,617 --> 00:43:26,617
be rezoned to neighborhood commercial,

1192
00:43:26,617 --> 00:43:28,617
which allows for both offices and theaters.

1193
00:43:28,617 --> 00:43:29,617
the controlled industrial district

1194
00:43:29,617 --> 00:43:31,617
is

1195
00:43:31,617 --> 00:43:32,617
oriented to agricultural uses like horticulture

1196
00:43:32,617 --> 00:43:34,617
.

1197
00:43:34,617 --> 00:43:38,217
yet the only area zone controlled

1198
00:43:38,617 --> 00:43:40,617
industrial is a collection of business parks

1199
00:43:40,617 --> 00:43:41,617
and a storage facility off of the

1200
00:43:41,617 --> 00:43:43,617
station road.

1201
00:43:45,617 --> 00:43:48,617
the partials on arnold drive

1202
00:43:48,617 --> 00:43:49,617
have

1203
00:43:49,617 --> 00:43:50,617
mixed zoning with p.a. Professional administrative

1204
00:43:50,617 --> 00:43:54,617
and are proposed to be rezoned from

1205
00:43:54,617 --> 00:43:56,617
professional administrative

1206
00:43:56,617 --> 00:43:57,617
and industrial to professional administrative/research and

1207
00:43:57,617 --> 00:43:58,617
development

1208
00:43:58,617 --> 00:44:00,617
allowing those business parks to continue

1209
00:44:00,617 --> 00:44:02,617
their active uses.

1210
00:44:02,617 --> 00:44:03,617
the storage facility currently zoned

1211
00:44:03,617 --> 00:44:05,617
environmental

1212
00:44:06,617 --> 00:44:08,617
conservation district

1213
00:44:08,617 --> 00:44:09,617
is proposed to be rezoned in environmental

1214
00:44:09,617 --> 00:44:12,170
conservation district/service commercial.

1215
00:44:25,617 --> 00:44:26,617
the last zoning district proposed to

1216
00:44:26,617 --> 00:44:28,617
be eliminated is the u undesignated

1217
00:44:28,617 --> 00:44:29,617
zoning district. This was previously

1218
00:44:29,617 --> 00:44:30,617
a holding zone for parcels, which the

1219
00:44:30,617 --> 00:44:31,183
city annexes

1220
00:44:31,183 --> 00:44:32,617
but does not simultaneously rezone. However,

1221
00:44:32,617 --> 00:44:33,617
it has not been used for this purpose.

1222
00:44:33,617 --> 00:44:34,617
to do so

1223
00:44:34,617 --> 00:44:35,617
would not actually be good practice.

1224
00:44:35,617 --> 00:44:37,617
and several parcels have retained

1225
00:44:37,617 --> 00:44:39,617
the undesignated zoning designation

1226
00:44:39,617 --> 00:44:41,617
for decades

1227
00:44:42,617 --> 00:44:43,617
since annexation. So

1228
00:44:43,617 --> 00:44:45,617
these parcels are proposed to be rezoned

1229
00:44:45,617 --> 00:44:47,617
consistent with the

1230
00:44:48,617 --> 00:44:50,617
general plan. And going forward, annexation and

1231
00:44:50,617 --> 00:44:53,617
rezoning of annexed parcels will be

1232
00:44:53,617 --> 00:44:54,617
conducted concurrently so there is

1233
00:44:54,617 --> 00:44:56,617
no

1234
00:44:56,617 --> 00:45:00,617
reason to have the zoning district anymore.

1235
00:45:00,617 --> 00:45:01,617
additionally, several parcels with

1236
00:45:01,617 --> 00:45:03,617
designations that were holdovers from the

1237
00:45:03,617 --> 00:45:05,617
county and were

1238
00:45:05,617 --> 00:45:07,617
not updated post annexation are proposed to

1239
00:45:07,617 --> 00:45:09,617
be rezoned. These include all parcels

1240
00:45:09,617 --> 00:45:11,617
zoned rb

1241
00:45:12,617 --> 00:45:14,617
retail business, which will be

1242
00:45:14,617 --> 00:45:15,617
rezoned neighborhood commercial. All

1243
00:45:15,617 --> 00:45:17,617
parcels

1244
00:45:17,617 --> 00:45:18,617
zoned multifamily m 29, which will

1245
00:45:18,617 --> 00:45:20,617
be rezoned

1246
00:45:21,617 --> 00:45:23,617
r1 .5 residential.

1247
00:45:23,617 --> 00:45:27,617
and you can see here the existing zoning

1248
00:45:27,617 --> 00:45:29,617
of these parcels

1249
00:45:29,617 --> 00:45:30,617
. The parcels to be rezoned are outlined in

1250
00:45:30,617 --> 00:45:32,617
red.

1251
00:45:33,617 --> 00:45:35,617
and the next slide

1252
00:45:35,617 --> 00:45:36,617
--I can pull these back up. Once the

1253
00:45:36,617 --> 00:45:38,617
rezoning

1254
00:45:39,617 --> 00:45:41,617
is complete.

1255
00:45:42,617 --> 00:45:44,617
now onto adu.

1256
00:45:44,617 --> 00:45:47,617
legislative session in california saw

1257
00:45:48,617 --> 00:45:50,617
several laws passed that required

1258
00:45:50,617 --> 00:45:51,617
us to update our adu relations. Requires

1259
00:45:51,617 --> 00:45:53,617
the city to

1260
00:45:53,617 --> 00:45:54,617
allow adus to be conveyed separately

1261
00:45:54,617 --> 00:45:56,617
from

1262
00:45:56,617 --> 00:46:00,617
the primary dwelling from a condominium plan.

1263
00:46:00,617 --> 00:46:01,617
extends

1264
00:46:01,617 --> 00:46:03,617
the prohibition of owner occupancy

1265
00:46:03,617 --> 00:46:05,617
requirements until 2025.

1266
00:46:05,617 --> 00:46:06,617
and 8013 32, which requires cities to

1267
00:46:06,617 --> 00:46:08,617
adopt

1268
00:46:09,617 --> 00:46:12,170
preapproved detached adu plans

1269
00:46:12,617 --> 00:46:14,617
and adds a 30-day requirement for any

1270
00:46:14,617 --> 00:46:15,617
adu application. Utilizing preapproved

1271
00:46:15,617 --> 00:46:17,617
plans from

1272
00:46:17,617 --> 00:46:20,617
many previously approved adu application.

1273
00:46:23,617 --> 00:46:24,617
in addition, staff is proposing further

1274
00:46:24,617 --> 00:46:26,617
revisions related

1275
00:46:27,617 --> 00:46:29,617
to rooftop

1276
00:46:29,617 --> 00:46:30,617
decks and balconies for adus. Previous

1277
00:46:30,617 --> 00:46:31,617
inconsistency was

1278
00:46:31,617 --> 00:46:32,617
identified for balconies and rooftop

1279
00:46:32,617 --> 00:46:33,617
decks to be built closer to property

1280
00:46:33,617 --> 00:46:34,617
lines

1281
00:46:34,617 --> 00:46:36,617
than was originally intended. Staff is

1282
00:46:36,617 --> 00:46:38,617
recommending requiring

1283
00:46:39,617 --> 00:46:41,617
balconies attached to

1284
00:46:42,617 --> 00:46:44,617
a tick to conform to setback requirements

1285
00:46:44,617 --> 00:46:45,617
for the primary dwelling to minimize

1286
00:46:45,617 --> 00:46:47,617
privacy impacts.

1287
00:46:54,617 --> 00:46:54,817
and there are some other minor changes

1288
00:46:54,817 --> 00:46:55,617
included

1289
00:46:55,617 --> 00:46:56,617
in this effort. I will run through

1290
00:46:56,617 --> 00:46:57,617
those really quickly. Continued removal of

1291
00:46:57,617 --> 00:46:59,617
references --

1292
00:47:00,617 --> 00:47:01,617
excuse me --

1293
00:47:01,617 --> 00:47:03,617
references to the board of adjustments.

1294
00:47:03,617 --> 00:47:05,617
as functions of that body have

1295
00:47:05,617 --> 00:47:06,617
been assumed by the planning commission

1296
00:47:06,617 --> 00:47:08,617
and zoning administrator.

1297
00:47:09,617 --> 00:47:11,617
revisions to chapter 22.08

1298
00:47:13,617 --> 00:47:14,617
district designations consistent with

1299
00:47:14,617 --> 00:47:15,617
the elimination of several zoning

1300
00:47:15,617 --> 00:47:16,617
districts. Updates

1301
00:47:16,617 --> 00:47:18,617
to some of the purposes for the affected

1302
00:47:18,617 --> 00:47:20,617
zoning districts to modernize them.

1303
00:47:20,617 --> 00:47:21,617
simplification and clarification of

1304
00:47:21,617 --> 00:47:23,617
use permit findings

1305
00:47:23,617 --> 00:47:28,417
for bars for the ability for massage businesses

1306
00:47:30,617 --> 00:47:30,933
applying for use permits to be brought

1307
00:47:30,933 --> 00:47:31,617
before the zoning

1308
00:47:31,617 --> 00:47:33,617
administrator instead of directly

1309
00:47:33,617 --> 00:47:33,883
to the planning commission. And the

1310
00:47:33,883 --> 00:47:34,617
addition for

1311
00:47:34,617 --> 00:47:36,617
tables for setback height and other

1312
00:47:36,617 --> 00:47:39,617
requirements for ease of use.

1313
00:47:41,617 --> 00:47:42,617
lastly there was significant community

1314
00:47:42,617 --> 00:47:45,617
outreach for this ordinance per the

1315
00:47:45,617 --> 00:47:47,617
city council

1316
00:47:47,617 --> 00:47:48,617
held two special study sessions on various

1317
00:47:48,617 --> 00:47:49,617
components of

1318
00:47:49,617 --> 00:47:51,617
this ordinance. Namely one on food

1319
00:47:51,617 --> 00:47:52,150
trucks and temporary use and the

1320
00:47:52,150 --> 00:47:54,617
other on industrial zoning incentives

1321
00:47:54,617 --> 00:47:57,617
and uses. Staff held a community information

1322
00:47:57,617 --> 00:48:00,170
meeting on food trucks

1323
00:48:00,617 --> 00:48:02,617
, temporary use

1324
00:48:02,617 --> 00:48:03,617
permits, and updating the uses. More than

1325
00:48:03,617 --> 00:48:03,883
700 active business license holders

1326
00:48:03,883 --> 00:48:05,883
within the city

1327
00:48:06,617 --> 00:48:08,617
were notified

1328
00:48:09,617 --> 00:48:11,617
as were all property

1329
00:48:11,617 --> 00:48:12,617
owners subject to rezoning and anyone who

1330
00:48:12,617 --> 00:48:12,883
had filed a regular request for such

1331
00:48:12,883 --> 00:48:14,617
notice. And

1332
00:48:14,617 --> 00:48:15,617
there was also medication between city staff

1333
00:48:15,617 --> 00:48:15,817
and the chamber of commerce. Martinez

1334
00:48:15,817 --> 00:48:17,817
and

1335
00:48:18,617 --> 00:48:21,617
company in the local restaurant.

1336
00:48:29,617 --> 00:48:30,617
the planning commission considered the draft ordinance at

1337
00:48:30,617 --> 00:48:31,617
its april 9th meeting. It

1338
00:48:31,617 --> 00:48:32,617
has forwarded a unanimous recognition of

1339
00:48:32,617 --> 00:48:33,617
approval to the city council. The

1340
00:48:33,617 --> 00:48:34,617
only change the planning commission

1341
00:48:34,617 --> 00:48:36,617
identified first further consideration by

1342
00:48:36,617 --> 00:48:36,867
the council was to trucks to operate

1343
00:48:36,867 --> 00:48:38,867
later than

1344
00:48:39,617 --> 00:48:42,170
the proposed 10:00 p.m.

1345
00:48:42,617 --> 00:48:42,950
closing time. However, they thought

1346
00:48:42,950 --> 00:48:44,617
it could make sense

1347
00:48:44,617 --> 00:48:45,617
to consider this in tandem with the

1348
00:48:45,617 --> 00:48:45,817
noise ordinance, which will be considered

1349
00:48:45,817 --> 00:48:47,617
next

1350
00:48:47,617 --> 00:48:48,617
year. So the full recommendation tonight is

1351
00:48:48,617 --> 00:48:51,170
to --bear with me

1352
00:48:54,617 --> 00:48:55,617
--conduct a public hearing, waive the

1353
00:48:55,617 --> 00:48:57,617
reading, and introduce the ordinance,

1354
00:48:57,617 --> 00:48:57,800
approving a zoning map and text amendment

1355
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:58,617
to

1356
00:48:58,617 --> 00:49:00,617
amend the municipal code by, one,

1357
00:49:00,617 --> 00:49:02,617
come pensively updating

1358
00:49:03,617 --> 00:49:06,617
the uses for commercial and research

1359
00:49:06,617 --> 00:49:09,617
development and districts. Amending chapter

1360
00:49:09,617 --> 00:49:11,617
four definitions to

1361
00:49:12,617 --> 00:49:14,617
remove the

1362
00:49:15,617 --> 00:49:17,617
individual numbers

1363
00:49:17,617 --> 00:49:18,617
and I definitions consistent with updated

1364
00:49:18,617 --> 00:49:20,617
uses. Amending chapters 22.14, confessional

1365
00:49:20,617 --> 00:49:23,170
and administrative office assistance.

1366
00:49:24,617 --> 00:49:26,617
industrial districts. By

1367
00:49:30,617 --> 00:49:32,617

research and development districts.

1372
00:49:36,617 --> 00:49:37,617
22.18 industrial districts by modifying standards

1373
00:49:37,617 --> 00:49:40,170
to incentivize industrial development

1374
00:49:40,617 --> 00:49:42,617
and establish

1375
00:49:42,617 --> 00:49:43,617
standards. Five, repealing chapters

1376
00:49:43,617 --> 00:49:45,617
22.30

1377
00:49:45,617 --> 00:49:48,617

to comply with state law and

1386
00:50:08,617 --> 00:50:10,617
clarify existing regulations. Nine,

1387
00:50:10,617 --> 00:50:12,617
revising chapter 22.08

1388
00:50:13,617 --> 00:50:14,617
to be consistent with the

1389
00:50:14,617 --> 00:50:17,170
elimination of thoroughfare commercial

1390
00:50:17,617 --> 00:50:19,617
recreation controlled industrial and undesignated

1391
00:50:19,617 --> 00:50:20,617
zoning districts.

1392
00:50:20,617 --> 00:50:22,617
then, approving the zoning map amendment

1393
00:50:22,617 --> 00:50:24,617
for 45 parcels

zoned thoroughfare commercial and

1395
00:50:25,617 --> 00:50:26,617

00:50:53,167 --> 00:50:54,617
retail business to neighborhood commercial

1407
00:50:54,617 --> 00:50:55,217
and for one parcel, zoned environmental

conservation district controlled industrial

1409
00:50:55,617 --> 00:50:57,617
to

1410
00:50:57,617 --> 00:50:58,617
district service commercial. 11, improving

1411
00:50:58,617 --> 00:51:01,170
a zoning map amendment

1412
00:51:01,617 --> 00:51:02,617
to appropriate

1413
00:51:02,617 --> 00:51:04,617
zoning designations consistent with

1414
00:51:04,617 --> 00:51:07,170
the general plan. 12, other

1415
00:51:07,617 --> 00:51:10,170
minor revisions. Thank you.

1416
00:51:16,617 --> 00:51:17,617
in terms of next

1417
00:51:17,617 --> 00:51:19,617
steps, if approved, this ordinance will

1418
00:51:19,617 --> 00:51:20,617
go to a second reading of the mid-50s council

1419
00:51:20,617 --> 00:51:22,617
meeting it would become effective

1420
00:51:22,617 --> 00:51:25,617
on june 15th of this year. So I

1421
00:51:25,617 --> 00:51:26,617
really appreciate

1422
00:51:26,617 --> 00:51:27,617
your patience while I went through

1423
00:51:27,617 --> 00:51:28,617
that lengthy presentation. Thank you

1424
00:51:28,617 --> 00:51:29,617
very much for

1425
00:51:29,617 --> 00:51:30,617
your attention. Welcome any questions

1426
00:51:30,617 --> 00:51:30,933
you may have read

1427
00:51:30,933 --> 00:51:31,617
>> thank you. I

1428
00:51:31,617 --> 00:51:33,617
appreciate

1429
00:51:34,617 --> 00:51:36,617
the report.

1430
00:51:37,617 --> 00:51:38,150
I want to thank you

1431
00:51:38,150 --> 00:51:39,617
for a couple of very specific things

1432
00:51:39,617 --> 00:51:40,617
that I heard. One, I absolutely agree

1433
00:51:40,617 --> 00:51:42,617
with you

1434
00:51:42,617 --> 00:51:44,617
. I had to go on mute because I giggled

1435
00:51:44,617 --> 00:51:46,617
out loud when you mentioned ice boxes,

1436
00:51:46,617 --> 00:51:50,217
which is clearly decades behind schedule.

1437
00:51:52,617 --> 00:51:53,617
so I very

1438
00:51:53,617 --> 00:51:54,617
much appreciate the attention to detail

1439
00:51:54,617 --> 00:51:55,617
to remove some of these outdated terms.

1440
00:51:55,617 --> 00:51:56,617
I

1441
00:51:56,617 --> 00:51:57,617
also want to acknowledge that several months ago

1442
00:51:57,617 --> 00:51:58,617
we talked about massage parlors and

1443
00:51:58,617 --> 00:52:00,617
one of the

1444
00:52:01,617 --> 00:52:04,170
things I asked was

1445
00:52:04,617 --> 00:52:04,817
to change that. We have not talked about it

1446
00:52:04,817 --> 00:52:05,617
since. I

1447
00:52:05,617 --> 00:52:06,617
did notice you changed that terminology

1448
00:52:06,617 --> 00:52:07,617
everywhere to massage business. Thank

1449
00:52:07,617 --> 00:52:09,617
you very much

1450
00:52:09,617 --> 00:52:10,617
for doing that. I want to ask if you

1451
00:52:10,617 --> 00:52:12,617
could provide a

1452
00:52:13,617 --> 00:52:16,170
few minutes of clarification.

1453
00:52:16,617 --> 00:52:19,617
you made a description about activating first-floor

1454
00:52:19,617 --> 00:52:20,617
windows and

1455
00:52:20,617 --> 00:52:22,617
businesses. Can you talk to that a

1456
00:52:22,617 --> 00:52:22,867
little bit more?

1457
00:52:22,867 --> 00:52:24,867
>> yeah.

1458
00:52:25,617 --> 00:52:28,617
city staff did some research

1459
00:52:28,617 --> 00:52:31,170
with how other municipalities

1460
00:52:31,617 --> 00:52:32,617
are trying to

1461
00:52:32,617 --> 00:52:34,617
enliven their downtowns. One of the

1462
00:52:34,617 --> 00:52:35,617
things we identified was

1463
00:52:35,617 --> 00:52:37,617
that when a business goes through

1464
00:52:37,617 --> 00:52:39,617
an entitlement

1465
00:52:42,617 --> 00:52:43,617
--say they're looking for a conditional use

1466
00:52:43,617 --> 00:52:44,617
permit. As part of that

1467
00:52:44,617 --> 00:52:46,617
entitlement process requiring them

1468
00:52:46,617 --> 00:52:49,617
to have some sort of activation of

1469
00:52:49,617 --> 00:52:52,617
any ground-floor space within the downtown

1470
00:52:52,617 --> 00:52:55,617
. So this could include anything from

1471
00:52:55,617 --> 00:52:57,617
visual display of products to some

1472
00:52:57,617 --> 00:52:58,617
sort of artwork or do something else that would

1473
00:52:58,617 --> 00:53:01,170
engage pedestrians as they

1474
00:53:01,617 --> 00:53:02,617
walk by to alert

1475
00:53:02,617 --> 00:53:04,617
them to the fact there is an active

1476
00:53:04,617 --> 00:53:07,617
business use there. This would only

1477
00:53:07,617 --> 00:53:10,170
apply to retail uses

1478
00:53:10,617 --> 00:53:11,617
as I

1479
00:53:11,617 --> 00:53:13,617
mentioned. Uses like restaurants or

1480
00:53:13,617 --> 00:53:16,617
nail salons. Having a fully transparent

1481
00:53:16,617 --> 00:53:18,617
window where

1482
00:53:18,617 --> 00:53:19,617
you could see into the business and see

1483
00:53:19,617 --> 00:53:21,617
the activities going

1484
00:53:21,617 --> 00:53:22,617
on there would qualify as activation for

1485
00:53:22,617 --> 00:53:24,617
purposes of

1486
00:53:24,617 --> 00:53:25,617
this requirement. But it is just good

1487
00:53:25,617 --> 00:53:27,617
practice because we

1488
00:53:28,617 --> 00:53:29,617
don't want

1489
00:53:29,617 --> 00:53:30,617
empty windows downtown when we have

1490
00:53:30,617 --> 00:53:31,617
an active business there. We want

1491
00:53:31,617 --> 00:53:33,617
people to know

1492
00:53:34,617 --> 00:53:36,617
that there is something going on .

1493
00:53:36,617 --> 00:53:37,617
if somebody can kind of spy something

1494
00:53:37,617 --> 00:53:40,617
if they are half a

1495
00:53:40,617 --> 00:53:42,617
block away and they see

1496
00:53:42,617 --> 00:53:43,617
something in the window that maybe draws

1497
00:53:43,617 --> 00:53:44,617
them down further, it is good for

1498
00:53:44,617 --> 00:53:46,617
business. It is good for the city.

1499
00:53:46,617 --> 00:53:49,617
it is good for pedestrians.

1500
00:53:49,617 --> 00:53:53,217
>> would that apply to existing businesses

1501
00:53:54,617 --> 00:53:55,617
? Or it is only if they are applying

1502
00:53:55,617 --> 00:53:57,617
for permits through

1503
00:53:57,617 --> 00:53:58,500
the city?

1504
00:53:58,500 --> 00:53:58,617
>> it would only apply to

1505
00:53:58,617 --> 00:54:00,617
businesses going through a new

1506
00:54:00,617 --> 00:54:00,950
entitlement process.

1507
00:54:00,950 --> 00:54:01,617
>> for example

1508
00:54:01,617 --> 00:54:03,617
,

1509
00:54:04,617 --> 00:54:07,617
insurance companies or law firms.

1510
00:54:07,617 --> 00:54:09,617
things like that. Because

1511
00:54:09,617 --> 00:54:10,617
that is not considered retail, I don't

1512
00:54:10,617 --> 00:54:12,617
think. How would that be

1513
00:54:12,617 --> 00:54:12,933
impacted by this ?

1514
00:54:12,933 --> 00:54:13,617
>> they would be

1515
00:54:13,617 --> 00:54:15,617
subject to

1516
00:54:16,617 --> 00:54:18,617
the requirement

1517
00:54:28,617 --> 00:54:30,617
to have a fully transparent window. So

1518
00:54:30,617 --> 00:54:31,617
people could see in --see office workers.

1519
00:54:31,617 --> 00:54:31,933
that sort of thing.

1520
00:54:31,933 --> 00:54:32,617
>> okay. Great.

1521
00:54:32,617 --> 00:54:34,617
my only comment. I know we are still

1522
00:54:34,617 --> 00:54:34,817
in the question and answer period.

1523
00:54:34,817 --> 00:54:35,617
I'm not

1524
00:54:35,617 --> 00:54:36,617
particularly supportive of the idea

1525
00:54:36,617 --> 00:54:37,617
of extending mobile food vendors past

1526
00:54:37,617 --> 00:54:39,617
10:00 p.m. That is inconsistent

1527
00:54:39,617 --> 00:54:40,617
with all the other rules that we have

1528
00:54:40,617 --> 00:54:42,617
in place so I just want

1529
00:54:42,617 --> 00:54:43,617
to put that out there now. I am in

1530
00:54:43,617 --> 00:54:46,617
support of having that end at

1531
00:54:46,617 --> 00:54:46,900
10:00 p.m. Anyone have any other questions or anything

1532
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:48,900
specific they

1533
00:54:49,617 --> 00:54:52,170
would like to ask?

1534
00:54:54,617 --> 00:54:55,617
>> councilmember ross. You want to

1535
00:54:55,617 --> 00:54:55,867
kick everybody off?

1536
00:54:55,867 --> 00:54:57,867
>> sure.

1537
00:54:58,617 --> 00:55:01,170
with all due respect

1538
00:55:04,617 --> 00:55:04,833
, madame mayor --when you look at the

1539
00:55:04,833 --> 00:55:06,617
noise

1540
00:55:06,617 --> 00:55:07,617
ordinance next year, I think the food trucks

1541
00:55:07,617 --> 00:55:09,617
should go past 10:00. But I said that

1542
00:55:09,617 --> 00:55:10,617
before. But that is not for tonight. When

1543
00:55:10,617 --> 00:55:13,617
you consider that a year

1544
00:55:13,617 --> 00:55:16,617
from now, maybe the echo of

1545
00:55:16,617 --> 00:55:19,617
my voice will be heard.

1546
00:55:19,617 --> 00:55:21,617
anyway. Speaking of

1547
00:55:22,617 --> 00:55:24,617
food trucks , on

1548
00:55:25,617 --> 00:55:27,617
the regulations

1549
00:55:27,617 --> 00:55:28,617
and changes that I saw in there, they

1550
00:55:28,617 --> 00:55:30,617
refer to

1551
00:55:31,617 --> 00:55:34,617
the requirements for a food truck

1552
00:55:34,617 --> 00:55:37,617
parked in public parking stall.

1553
00:55:37,617 --> 00:55:40,617
with these apply to somebody that

1554
00:55:40,617 --> 00:55:43,617
has been parking a food truck on a

1555
00:55:43,617 --> 00:55:45,617
private property downtown

1556
00:55:46,617 --> 00:55:47,830
?

1557
00:55:47,830 --> 00:55:49,830
>> yeah. Different regulations

1558
00:55:49,617 --> 00:55:54,417
would apply. They would have to go through

1559
00:55:54,617 --> 00:55:55,617
the temporary use permit process.

1560
00:55:55,617 --> 00:55:55,900
and regulations would be imposed at

1561
00:55:55,900 --> 00:55:57,900
that stage by

1562
00:55:58,617 --> 00:56:00,617
the zoning administrator.

1563
00:56:01,617 --> 00:56:03,617
so it

1564
00:56:03,617 --> 00:56:04,617
would depend --it would be a case-by-case situation.

1565
00:56:04,617 --> 00:56:06,617
we would review it based on where

1566
00:56:06,617 --> 00:56:07,617
they are proposing to locate and what

1567
00:56:07,617 --> 00:56:09,617
type of offerings they are

1568
00:56:09,617 --> 00:56:13,617
proposing to have. Those sorts of things.

1569
00:56:13,617 --> 00:56:17,217
>> so a fixed location would require

1570
00:56:17,617 --> 00:56:19,617
the hearing.

1571
00:56:20,617 --> 00:56:22,617
>> correct. >>

1572
00:56:23,617 --> 00:56:26,617
and an application to have --you

1573
00:56:26,617 --> 00:56:26,883
can park anywhere.

1574
00:56:26,883 --> 00:56:28,883
>> no.

1575
00:56:29,617 --> 00:56:32,617
the tuv could be location limited.

1576
00:56:32,617 --> 00:56:35,617
they would have to have the

1577
00:56:35,617 --> 00:56:38,617
approval of the property owner

1578
00:56:38,617 --> 00:56:39,617
, at which point we would

1579
00:56:39,617 --> 00:56:41,617
review the application and approve them

1580
00:56:41,617 --> 00:56:43,617
to locate

1581
00:56:45,617 --> 00:56:47,617
in one specific location or to have

1582
00:56:47,617 --> 00:56:48,617
food trucks located in that location. They

1583
00:56:48,617 --> 00:56:51,617
could potentially swapout other food trucks.

1584
00:56:51,617 --> 00:56:53,617
different food trucks coming in. We

1585
00:56:53,617 --> 00:56:56,617
would allow them to be approved

1586
00:56:56,617 --> 00:56:57,617
to have

1587
00:56:57,617 --> 00:56:58,617
food trucks in a certain location but

1588
00:56:58,617 --> 00:56:59,617
it wouldn't necessarily have to be

1589
00:56:59,617 --> 00:57:01,617
the

1590
00:57:02,617 --> 00:57:02,933
same food truck.

1591
00:57:02,933 --> 00:57:03,617
>> and the ones

1592
00:57:03,617 --> 00:57:03,933
[ inaudible ] public parking.

1593
00:57:03,933 --> 00:57:05,617
>> if it was

1594
00:57:05,617 --> 00:57:06,617
in public parking, they would

1595
00:57:06,617 --> 00:57:10,217
be subject to public parking regulations.

1596
00:57:14,617 --> 00:57:15,617
so they would

1597
00:57:15,617 --> 00:57:17,617
have to if they are located longer than an

1598
00:57:17,617 --> 00:57:18,617
hour, they would have to have access

1599
00:57:18,617 --> 00:57:20,617
to a bathroom facility. If they are

1600
00:57:20,617 --> 00:57:21,617
located less than an hour, we

1601
00:57:21,617 --> 00:57:23,617
have very little leeway with what

1602
00:57:23,617 --> 00:57:24,133
we can impose on them, but we

1603
00:57:24,133 --> 00:57:25,617
would be able to wire inspections

1604
00:57:25,617 --> 00:57:26,617
that they have all of their licenses

1605
00:57:26,617 --> 00:57:28,617
from the fire department

1606
00:57:28,617 --> 00:57:32,617
from public health as well as requirements to

1607
00:57:32,617 --> 00:57:34,617
remit

1608
00:57:35,617 --> 00:57:38,170
sales tax within the

1609
00:57:38,617 --> 00:57:40,617
city limits. And

1610
00:57:41,617 --> 00:57:42,617
what was the other requirement

1611
00:57:42,617 --> 00:57:44,617
? I'm blanking on the other one. But

1612
00:57:44,617 --> 00:57:44,867
we are limited.

1613
00:57:44,867 --> 00:57:46,867
>> okay.

1614
00:57:47,617 --> 00:57:50,170
just briefly , tell me

1615
00:57:50,617 --> 00:57:53,617
. If I have a food truck [ inaudible

1616
00:57:53,617 --> 00:57:55,617
] I've

1617
00:57:55,617 --> 00:57:56,617
got two choices. Park in a public

1618
00:57:56,617 --> 00:57:58,617
space, or

1619
00:57:59,617 --> 00:58:02,170
I can park [ inaudible

1620
00:58:02,617 --> 00:58:04,617
] is each

1621
00:58:05,617 --> 00:58:07,617
path equally

1622
00:58:11,617 --> 00:58:12,617
--is there as much work for each path

1623
00:58:12,617 --> 00:58:14,617
if you pick one or the other? Sounds like

1624
00:58:14,617 --> 00:58:17,617
the private property might be a

1625
00:58:17,617 --> 00:58:17,983
little more cumbersome.

1626
00:58:17,983 --> 00:58:20,383
>> so we tried to

1627
00:58:20,617 --> 00:58:21,617
keep it fair and

1628
00:58:21,617 --> 00:58:23,617
we did not want to incentivize people parking

1629
00:58:23,617 --> 00:58:24,617
in

1630
00:58:24,617 --> 00:58:26,617
the public right-of-way since we know

1631
00:58:26,617 --> 00:58:30,217
that the direction from the council

1632
00:58:31,617 --> 00:58:35,617
was to really promote it on private property.

1633
00:58:35,617 --> 00:58:37,617
so it does provide a

1634
00:58:37,617 --> 00:58:38,617
lot more flexibility if you go through

1635
00:58:38,617 --> 00:58:41,617
the temporary use permit process. Essentially

1636
00:58:41,617 --> 00:58:43,617
you're going to

1637
00:58:43,617 --> 00:58:44,617
have to move around a lot if you're

1638
00:58:44,617 --> 00:58:47,170
parking in a public

1639
00:58:47,617 --> 00:58:50,170
parking spot. The requirements

1640
00:58:50,617 --> 00:58:52,617
to

1641
00:58:52,617 --> 00:58:53,617
be within 200 feet of a readily available bathroom

1642
00:58:53,617 --> 00:58:55,617
and more than 100

1643
00:58:56,617 --> 00:58:58,617
feet from

1644
00:58:59,617 --> 00:59:00,617
another food truck,

1645
00:59:00,617 --> 00:59:01,617
we were hoping it would incentivize

1646
00:59:01,617 --> 00:59:02,617
people to go for the temporary use permit

1647
00:59:02,617 --> 00:59:04,617
process. And that

1648
00:59:05,617 --> 00:59:06,617
also provides

1649
00:59:06,617 --> 00:59:07,617
opportunities for the existing businesses

1650
00:59:07,617 --> 00:59:08,617
in town to partner with food trucks

1651
00:59:08,617 --> 00:59:09,617
to

1652
00:59:09,617 --> 00:59:10,617
maybe offer something that they don't already

1653
00:59:10,617 --> 00:59:11,617
offer and provide something interesting

1654
00:59:11,617 --> 00:59:14,617
to the public that they

1655
00:59:14,617 --> 00:59:16,617
would be

1656
00:59:16,617 --> 00:59:17,617
--they would help feed the business and

1657
00:59:17,617 --> 00:59:18,617
the food truck

1658
00:59:18,617 --> 00:59:20,617
and not take away from existing businesses.

1659
00:59:20,617 --> 00:59:22,617
>>

1660
00:59:23,617 --> 00:59:26,617
I had some of the questions.

1661
00:59:26,617 --> 00:59:29,617
but I would just save them

1662
00:59:29,617 --> 00:59:32,170
for now. Thank you.

1663
00:59:32,617 --> 00:59:35,617
>> that is a great report.

1664
00:59:35,617 --> 00:59:37,617
that is

1665
00:59:37,617 --> 00:59:38,617
a lot. You guys have been working

1666
00:59:38,617 --> 00:59:40,617
your tails off on all

1667
00:59:40,617 --> 00:59:41,617
of this. Okay. So I just wanted to

1668
00:59:41,617 --> 00:59:43,617
follow-up with

1669
00:59:44,617 --> 00:59:46,617
councilmember ross'

1670
00:59:47,617 --> 00:59:48,617
thought train. If we

1671
00:59:48,617 --> 00:59:50,617
are doing all of these food trucks, that's

1672
00:59:50,617 --> 00:59:52,617
great. I like the diversity. Who

1673
00:59:52,617 --> 00:59:52,950
keeps them honest?

1674
00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:53,617
>> so, we keep

1675
00:59:53,617 --> 00:59:55,617
them honest

1676
00:59:55,617 --> 00:59:58,617
. The planning division would require

1677
00:59:59,617 --> 01:00:01,617
proof that --well,

1678
01:00:02,617 --> 01:00:04,617
let us split this up for it in terms of

1679
01:00:04,617 --> 01:00:05,617
food trucks working in a public right-of-way

1680
01:00:05,617 --> 01:00:07,617
we

1681
01:00:08,617 --> 01:00:10,617
would inspect

1682
01:00:10,617 --> 01:00:11,617
them for having a business license,

1683
01:00:11,617 --> 01:00:13,617
having their fire certificate, public health certificate.

1684
01:00:13,617 --> 01:00:17,617
in terms of the temporary use permit

1685
01:00:17,617 --> 01:00:19,617
, we would work with the property owner to

1686
01:00:19,617 --> 01:00:20,617
make sure that they are adhering to

1687
01:00:20,617 --> 01:00:21,617
all of the regulations

1688
01:00:21,617 --> 01:00:23,617
or requirements that were imposed

1689
01:00:23,617 --> 01:00:26,170
through that temporary use

1690
01:00:26,617 --> 01:00:30,217
permit process. In terms of the

1691
01:00:30,617 --> 01:00:32,617
food trucks and making sure they are

1692
01:00:32,617 --> 01:00:32,800
not staying for longer than an hour,

1693
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,617
we

1694
01:00:34,617 --> 01:00:35,617
would not have to rely on the community

1695
01:00:35,617 --> 01:00:38,170
and business community in

1696
01:00:38,617 --> 01:00:41,617
terms of potential using our code

1697
01:00:41,617 --> 01:00:44,617
enforcement staff to report if some

1698
01:00:44,617 --> 01:00:46,617
of these

1699
01:00:47,617 --> 01:00:49,617
are located longer

1700
01:00:49,617 --> 01:00:50,617
than an hour and they are not within

1701
01:00:50,617 --> 01:00:53,617
the distance of a restroom or too

1702
01:00:53,617 --> 01:00:53,850
close to another food truck.

1703
01:00:53,850 --> 01:00:55,850
>>

1704
01:00:56,617 --> 01:00:58,617
kind of the honor

1705
01:00:58,617 --> 01:00:59,500
system.

1706
01:00:59,500 --> 01:00:59,617
>> it is a little bit the

1707
01:00:59,617 --> 01:00:59,917
honor system.

1708
01:00:59,917 --> 01:01:01,617
>> I would

1709
01:01:01,617 --> 01:01:02,617
like to clarify. If they are going to

1710
01:01:02,617 --> 01:01:02,800
be parking on public property as part

1711
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,617
of

1712
01:01:03,617 --> 01:01:05,617
their temporary use permit application,

1713
01:01:05,617 --> 01:01:05,817
they would be demonstrating how they

1714
01:01:05,817 --> 01:01:07,617
plan

1715
01:01:07,617 --> 01:01:08,617
to comply with those distance requirements

1716
01:01:08,617 --> 01:01:10,617
that

1717
01:01:11,617 --> 01:01:14,170
dan gordon just mentioned.

1718
01:01:14,617 --> 01:01:16,617
they

1719
01:01:16,617 --> 01:01:17,617
would indicate that as part of their application

1720
01:01:17,617 --> 01:01:20,617
when we are evaluating the temporary

1721
01:01:20,617 --> 01:01:22,617
use permit.

1722
01:01:22,617 --> 01:01:23,617
saying that, as dan indicated, they

1723
01:01:23,617 --> 01:01:24,617
could always potentially

1724
01:01:24,617 --> 01:01:25,617
park somewhere differently than where

1725
01:01:25,617 --> 01:01:26,617
they indicated they were going to

1726
01:01:26,617 --> 01:01:28,617
be parking for longer than

1727
01:01:28,617 --> 01:01:29,617
an hour in that instance. It would

1728
01:01:29,617 --> 01:01:31,617
be reliant

1729
01:01:31,617 --> 01:01:32,617
primarily on a code enforcement complaint

1730
01:01:32,617 --> 01:01:34,617
basis as we

1731
01:01:35,617 --> 01:01:35,867
do it.

1732
01:01:35,867 --> 01:01:37,867
>> okay.

1733
01:01:39,617 --> 01:01:42,617
that's great. So can I

1734
01:01:42,617 --> 01:01:45,170
switch gears ? Very good.

1735
01:01:45,617 --> 01:01:46,617
the adus

1736
01:01:46,617 --> 01:01:48,617
setbacks are going to be the same

1737
01:01:48,617 --> 01:01:51,170
as the main house

1738
01:01:54,617 --> 01:01:55,617
. Is

1739
01:01:55,617 --> 01:01:55,867
that what I heard you say?

1740
01:01:55,867 --> 01:01:57,617
>> that

1741
01:01:57,617 --> 01:01:57,917
is correct.

1742
01:01:57,917 --> 01:01:58,617
>> can you

1743
01:01:58,617 --> 01:01:59,617
talk about that a little bit? I thought

1744
01:01:59,617 --> 01:02:01,617
we were trying to help these people

1745
01:02:01,617 --> 01:02:03,617
get the adus in there. It sounds like

1746
01:02:03,617 --> 01:02:03,883
that would be cumbersome.

1747
01:02:03,883 --> 01:02:04,617
>> let

1748
01:02:04,617 --> 01:02:06,617
me clarify. This would be for attached adus

1749
01:02:06,617 --> 01:02:08,617
that have balconies, decks,

1750
01:02:08,617 --> 01:02:09,617
or rooftop decks. We wanted to make

1751
01:02:09,617 --> 01:02:11,617
sure that

1752
01:02:12,617 --> 01:02:14,617
those specific elements

1753
01:02:15,617 --> 01:02:16,617
would not be

1754
01:02:16,617 --> 01:02:18,617
able to be closer to the property

1755
01:02:18,617 --> 01:02:21,617
line than if you had built them

1756
01:02:21,617 --> 01:02:22,617
on the primary residence since

1757
01:02:22,617 --> 01:02:24,617
especially because it is an attached

1758
01:02:24,617 --> 01:02:28,217
adu it is going to be

1759
01:02:28,617 --> 01:02:29,617
part of that primary residence and

1760
01:02:29,617 --> 01:02:30,617
this could potentially allow somebody

1761
01:02:30,617 --> 01:02:31,617
to

1762
01:02:31,617 --> 01:02:33,617
push that envelope a little bit. And

1763
01:02:33,617 --> 01:02:36,617
we all know that with

1764
01:02:36,617 --> 01:02:38,617
adus not everybody uses them

1765
01:02:38,617 --> 01:02:39,617
as a special rental. A lot of people use

1766
01:02:39,617 --> 01:02:41,617
them

1767
01:02:41,617 --> 01:02:42,617
as parts of their primary residence

1768
01:02:42,617 --> 01:02:43,617
. So we did

1769
01:02:43,617 --> 01:02:44,617
not want to create some sort of loophole

1770
01:02:44,617 --> 01:02:48,217
or workaround where people could then

1771
01:02:48,617 --> 01:02:52,217
build a deck in a location

1772
01:02:54,617 --> 01:02:55,617
that you would not be

1773
01:02:55,617 --> 01:02:57,617
able to unless you declared it as

1774
01:02:57,617 --> 01:02:57,933
an adu.

1775
01:02:57,933 --> 01:02:58,617
>> I like that.

1776
01:02:58,617 --> 01:02:59,617
that makes sense. I appreciate that

1777
01:02:59,617 --> 01:03:00,617
and I really appreciate all the hard work

1778
01:03:00,617 --> 01:03:03,170
you guys have done

1779
01:03:03,617 --> 01:03:04,617
to bring

1780
01:03:04,617 --> 01:03:06,617
the consistency between all of those

1781
01:03:06,617 --> 01:03:07,617
zoning districts because I know it

1782
01:03:07,617 --> 01:03:08,617
was before it was just all over the place.

1783
01:03:08,617 --> 01:03:09,617
and I think this whole thing that

1784
01:03:09,617 --> 01:03:10,617
you

1785
01:03:10,617 --> 01:03:12,617
are working so hard on his part of

1786
01:03:12,617 --> 01:03:14,617
that. Being consistent

1787
01:03:15,617 --> 01:03:18,617
and bringing us up to date

1788
01:03:18,617 --> 01:03:19,617
. I know nothing

1789
01:03:19,617 --> 01:03:21,617
has been done on this. Or not much

1790
01:03:21,617 --> 01:03:24,617
has been done since 1975. So I applaud you

1791
01:03:24,617 --> 01:03:27,170
for all of that.

1792
01:03:35,617 --> 01:03:36,617
>> all right. Thank you. I too just want

1793
01:03:36,617 --> 01:03:37,617
to echo the

1794
01:03:37,617 --> 01:03:39,617
comments here. I know what a herculean

1795
01:03:39,617 --> 01:03:42,617
task this has been to try

1796
01:03:42,617 --> 01:03:44,617
to clean up mountains of

1797
01:03:44,617 --> 01:03:45,617
codes that just have not been touched. It

1798
01:03:45,617 --> 01:03:47,617
is really

1799
01:03:47,617 --> 01:03:48,617
important. And I know that I think

1800
01:03:48,617 --> 01:03:51,170
all of us are

1801
01:03:51,617 --> 01:03:53,617
eager to move this city forward

1802
01:03:53,617 --> 01:03:54,617
and help it grow and flourish in a

1803
01:03:54,617 --> 01:03:56,617
way that we

1804
01:03:57,617 --> 01:03:59,617
all want. But we cannot do that

1805
01:03:59,617 --> 01:04:00,617
if we don't have codes that work in

1806
01:04:00,617 --> 01:04:02,617
the

1807
01:04:03,617 --> 01:04:06,617
21st century. Write? So this is a big

1808
01:04:06,617 --> 01:04:09,617
, important step in helping do that.

1809
01:04:09,617 --> 01:04:10,617
I just want to commend

1810
01:04:10,617 --> 01:04:12,617
you at the staff level. Thank you

1811
01:04:12,617 --> 01:04:14,617
so much for all the work you have

1812
01:04:14,617 --> 01:04:15,617
put into this. Just a couple of questions

1813
01:04:15,617 --> 01:04:17,617
I

1814
01:04:18,617 --> 01:04:20,617
would ask

1815
01:04:24,617 --> 01:04:25,617
on the food trucks. Real life scenario

1816
01:04:25,617 --> 01:04:27,617
that has emerged over the past few

1817
01:04:27,617 --> 01:04:28,617
years. No secret. I think you all are

1818
01:04:28,617 --> 01:04:30,617
familiar with it. Food trucks that

1819
01:04:30,617 --> 01:04:31,617
decide now moving forward that they roll

1820
01:04:31,617 --> 01:04:33,617
up in one of our city parks. Parks

1821
01:04:33,617 --> 01:04:35,617
that were for instance

1822
01:04:35,617 --> 01:04:39,217
little league has a concession stand.

1823
01:04:39,617 --> 01:04:40,617
talk to me in layman's terms. How

1824
01:04:40,617 --> 01:04:42,617
does the new procedure that we have

1825
01:04:42,617 --> 01:04:44,617
outlined here

1826
01:04:45,617 --> 01:04:46,617
--

1827
01:04:46,617 --> 01:04:48,617
how would it impact that scenario?

1828
01:04:48,617 --> 01:04:50,617
I know that is a concern

1829
01:04:50,617 --> 01:04:51,617
that we have heard from some of our

1830
01:04:51,617 --> 01:04:52,617
--

1831
01:04:52,617 --> 01:04:54,617
some of our folks over in the little

1832
01:04:54,617 --> 01:04:56,617
league. And I think it is a valid

1833
01:04:56,617 --> 01:04:59,617
concern. They are operating a snack shack.

1834
01:04:59,617 --> 01:05:00,617
they rely on the sales of the concessions

1835
01:05:00,617 --> 01:05:02,617
from that

1836
01:05:02,617 --> 01:05:07,417
snack shack. You know. To truck rolls up.

1837
01:05:09,617 --> 01:05:09,833
and obviously that is going to put

1838
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:11,617
a dent

1839
01:05:11,617 --> 01:05:12,617
in their sails. So talk to me a little

1840
01:05:12,617 --> 01:05:14,617
bit. I want

1841
01:05:14,617 --> 01:05:18,617
to make sure they understand how this

1842
01:05:18,617 --> 01:05:21,617
--what we have laid out here is

1843
01:05:21,617 --> 01:05:22,617
going to help

1844
01:05:22,617 --> 01:05:24,617
mitigate those concerns. Does that

1845
01:05:24,617 --> 01:05:25,000
make sense?

1846
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
>> great question. Yes.

1847
01:05:29,617 --> 01:05:30,617
that was definitely at the forefront of

1848
01:05:30,617 --> 01:05:31,617
our minds

1849
01:05:31,617 --> 01:05:32,617
when we were crafting this. The proposed

1850
01:05:32,617 --> 01:05:33,617
regulatory framework would essentially

1851
01:05:33,617 --> 01:05:36,617
require any food truck located

1852
01:05:36,617 --> 01:05:36,833
on public property in a public park

1853
01:05:36,833 --> 01:05:38,833
to get

1854
01:05:39,617 --> 01:05:45,170
the approval of the city. And a temporary use

1855
01:05:48,617 --> 01:05:50,617
permit. So if

1856
01:05:50,617 --> 01:05:51,617
it is something that would be impacting the little

1857
01:05:51,617 --> 01:05:51,883
league concession stand, obviously as

1858
01:05:51,883 --> 01:05:53,617
the city we

1859
01:05:53,617 --> 01:05:54,617
would not want to see that. We would

1860
01:05:54,617 --> 01:05:55,617
not be approving a food

1861
01:05:55,617 --> 01:05:57,617
truck to be able to locate within

1862
01:05:57,617 --> 01:05:57,900
such distance of that concession stand.

1863
01:05:57,900 --> 01:05:59,900
they would not

1864
01:06:00,617 --> 01:06:02,617
just need

1865
01:06:03,617 --> 01:06:03,833
approval of the city as the property

1866
01:06:03,833 --> 01:06:05,617
owner,

1867
01:06:05,617 --> 01:06:06,617
but they would also have to go through

1868
01:06:06,617 --> 01:06:07,617
the temporary use permit

1869
01:06:07,617 --> 01:06:09,617
process where we would employ other restrictions.

1870
01:06:09,617 --> 01:06:12,170
let's say we did

1871
01:06:15,617 --> 01:06:17,617
approve it

1872
01:06:17,617 --> 01:06:18,617
for some reason. We would only approve it when

1873
01:06:18,617 --> 01:06:18,883
that concession stand was not operating.

1874
01:06:18,883 --> 01:06:20,617
>> so

1875
01:06:20,617 --> 01:06:21,617
I appreciate that. That's really helpful

1876
01:06:21,617 --> 01:06:23,617
to know. To piggyback on what councilmember

1877
01:06:23,617 --> 01:06:24,617
just brought up with respect to enforcement.

1878
01:06:24,617 --> 01:06:26,617
you just obviously referenced

1879
01:06:26,617 --> 01:06:30,217
code enforcement and what have you.

1880
01:06:30,617 --> 01:06:33,617
these situations sometimes arise outside

1881
01:06:35,617 --> 01:06:36,617
of normal business hours. Let's say

1882
01:06:36,617 --> 01:06:38,617
they arise on the weekend. Saturday

1883
01:06:38,617 --> 01:06:42,617
you were down. The place is packed

1884
01:06:42,617 --> 01:06:44,617
to the brim.

1885
01:06:44,617 --> 01:06:45,617
you have a food truck that rose up

1886
01:06:45,617 --> 01:06:45,883
that is already taking up valuable

1887
01:06:45,883 --> 01:06:47,617
parking spaces.

1888
01:06:47,617 --> 01:06:48,617
I get a call from somebody at little

1889
01:06:48,617 --> 01:06:51,170
league councilmember. What are

1890
01:06:51,617 --> 01:06:53,617
we doing about this?

1891
01:06:53,617 --> 01:06:54,617
what can be done? Is this something they

1892
01:06:54,617 --> 01:06:57,170
would call pd on

1893
01:06:57,617 --> 01:06:59,617
and ask pd

1894
01:06:59,617 --> 01:07:00,617
to enforce it and ask those folks

1895
01:07:00,617 --> 01:07:00,800
to either show their documentation

1896
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,800
or

1897
01:07:03,617 --> 01:07:06,617
have them remove ? How does

1898
01:07:06,617 --> 01:07:08,617
that work

1899
01:07:08,617 --> 01:07:09,617
? I'm just trying to play through

1900
01:07:09,617 --> 01:07:11,617
that because I can

1901
01:07:11,617 --> 01:07:12,617
see that scenario arising and I want

1902
01:07:12,617 --> 01:07:14,617
to know what

1903
01:07:14,617 --> 01:07:14,933
we do in that situation.

1904
01:07:14,933 --> 01:07:16,617
>> I believe

1905
01:07:16,617 --> 01:07:18,617
that is the case as

1906
01:07:18,617 --> 01:07:20,617
with most off-hours. Violation of

1907
01:07:20,617 --> 01:07:22,617
municipal code. It would go to our

1908
01:07:22,617 --> 01:07:24,617
wonderful colleagues.

1909
01:07:27,617 --> 01:07:28,617
>> assuming they would be trained

1910
01:07:28,617 --> 01:07:31,170
and well versed in

1911
01:07:31,617 --> 01:07:31,917
the policies.

1912
01:07:31,917 --> 01:07:32,617
>> what I

1913
01:07:32,617 --> 01:07:33,617
would add to that is if we got complaints

1914
01:07:33,617 --> 01:07:35,617
that opened over the weekend, if the

1915
01:07:35,617 --> 01:07:37,617
complainant could identify what the

1916
01:07:37,617 --> 01:07:40,170
food truck company was

1917
01:07:40,617 --> 01:07:41,617
because usually there is

1918
01:07:41,617 --> 01:07:42,617
fairly significant branding on the

1919
01:07:42,617 --> 01:07:43,617
outside of the vehicles. So I suspect

1920
01:07:43,617 --> 01:07:44,617
we

1921
01:07:44,617 --> 01:07:46,617
would have a pretty easy way that we

1922
01:07:46,617 --> 01:07:48,617
could follow-up

1923
01:07:50,617 --> 01:07:51,617
during business hours as well. Maybe

1924
01:07:51,617 --> 01:07:52,617
not immediately solve the issue at

1925
01:07:52,617 --> 01:07:53,617
the time. We

1926
01:07:53,617 --> 01:07:55,617
could take some action to prevent future

1927
01:07:55,617 --> 01:07:56,617
problems that would

1928
01:07:56,617 --> 01:07:57,500
occur.

1929
01:07:57,500 --> 01:07:57,617
>> that is really helpful.

1930
01:07:57,617 --> 01:08:01,217
I appreciate that candor because that

1931
01:08:01,617 --> 01:08:03,617
is something

1932
01:08:04,617 --> 01:08:05,617
. Like I said, I have heard it on

1933
01:08:05,617 --> 01:08:06,617
more than one occasion. I just want

1934
01:08:06,617 --> 01:08:08,617
to make sure that everybody is on

1935
01:08:08,617 --> 01:08:10,617
the same page here and we understand

1936
01:08:10,617 --> 01:08:10,800
that we are actually trying to be responsive

1937
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,617
to

1938
01:08:12,617 --> 01:08:13,617
the concerns that have been brought

1939
01:08:13,617 --> 01:08:14,617
forward. And that is

1940
01:08:14,617 --> 01:08:15,617
a very real world scenario that has

1941
01:08:15,617 --> 01:08:19,217
been brought to our attention. Again,

1942
01:08:19,617 --> 01:08:22,617
thank you, both, for that. Kind

1943
01:08:22,617 --> 01:08:24,617
of two general questions

1944
01:08:24,617 --> 01:08:28,617
not on the food truck that I had was. Earlier

1945
01:08:28,617 --> 01:08:31,617
this year I believe we had

1946
01:08:31,617 --> 01:08:32,617
a presentation

1947
01:08:32,617 --> 01:08:34,617
from some economic development consultants.

1948
01:08:34,617 --> 01:08:36,617
they had given

1949
01:08:37,617 --> 01:08:40,617
us a presentation in which they

1950
01:08:40,617 --> 01:08:42,617
laid out

1951
01:08:43,617 --> 01:08:45,617
some general observations

1952
01:08:45,617 --> 01:08:46,617
and some recommendations and things

1953
01:08:46,617 --> 01:08:48,617
to keep

1954
01:08:49,617 --> 01:08:51,617
in mind . And I'm just kind

1955
01:08:51,617 --> 01:08:52,617
of wondering if you can speak to how what

1956
01:08:52,617 --> 01:08:55,170
is before us tonight

1957
01:08:55,617 --> 01:08:58,617
more or less aligns with what

1958
01:08:58,617 --> 01:09:00,617
they highlighted

1959
01:09:01,617 --> 01:09:01,900
as part of their

1960
01:09:01,900 --> 01:09:02,000
presentation.

1961
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,000
>> absolutely. A big

1962
01:09:04,617 --> 01:09:07,170
part of that presentation

1963
01:09:08,617 --> 01:09:10,617
from mr. Greenwood, the city's economic

1964
01:09:10,617 --> 01:09:12,617
development consultant

1965
01:09:16,617 --> 01:09:17,617
, was about these development standards

1966
01:09:17,617 --> 01:09:18,617
in our heavy industrial and light industrial zoning

1967
01:09:18,617 --> 01:09:19,617
districts and how much more restrictive

1968
01:09:19,617 --> 01:09:21,617
hours are compared

1969
01:09:21,617 --> 01:09:22,617
to neighboring municipalities . So

1970
01:09:22,617 --> 01:09:25,617
this does cover quite a few

1971
01:09:25,617 --> 01:09:25,817
of the recommendations that he brought to

1972
01:09:25,817 --> 01:09:27,817
your

1973
01:09:28,617 --> 01:09:30,617
attention, including

1974
01:09:31,617 --> 01:09:32,617
the reduced setbacks,

1975
01:09:32,617 --> 01:09:33,617
reduced landscaping requirements,

1976
01:09:33,617 --> 01:09:37,217
greater height allowances as well as

1977
01:09:37,617 --> 01:09:39,617
allowing for

1978
01:09:40,617 --> 01:09:40,817
greater variety of types of uses to

1979
01:09:40,817 --> 01:09:42,817
go into

1980
01:09:43,617 --> 01:09:46,170
those districts. Things like

1981
01:09:46,617 --> 01:09:48,617
data centers, renewable energy

1982
01:09:48,617 --> 01:09:49,617
that were specifically mentioned in

1983
01:09:49,617 --> 01:09:52,617
the code before so we

1984
01:09:52,617 --> 01:09:54,617
could not actually permit them.

1985
01:09:54,617 --> 01:09:55,617
so it covers quite a large chunk of

1986
01:09:55,617 --> 01:09:57,617
the recommendations.

1987
01:10:00,617 --> 01:10:01,617
>> what I would add to that as well

1988
01:10:01,617 --> 01:10:02,117
is when staff was

1989
01:10:02,117 --> 01:10:04,517
preparing these regulations, they

1990
01:10:04,617 --> 01:10:05,617
were reviewed in draft form by the

1991
01:10:05,617 --> 01:10:09,217
consultants as well to ensure that

1992
01:10:09,617 --> 01:10:13,817
we adequately captured all of the recommendations.

1993
01:10:16,617 --> 01:10:18,617
>> I'm really

1994
01:10:18,617 --> 01:10:19,617
happy to hear that. Thank you. I just

1995
01:10:19,617 --> 01:10:20,617
wanted to make sure we

1996
01:10:20,617 --> 01:10:22,617
were all communicating with one another

1997
01:10:22,617 --> 01:10:24,617
as we were going through because I think it

1998
01:10:24,617 --> 01:10:25,617
is really important for me as we are

1999
01:10:25,617 --> 01:10:26,617
modernizing the code. We have an eye

2000
01:10:26,617 --> 01:10:30,817
toward the future. We need to have

2001
01:10:31,617 --> 01:10:33,617
--we're

2002
01:10:33,617 --> 01:10:34,617
trying to figure out how we can continue

2003
01:10:34,617 --> 01:10:36,617
to grow and sustain and broaden our

2004
01:10:36,617 --> 01:10:37,617
economic base so that we can bring

2005
01:10:37,617 --> 01:10:38,617
additional sales tax dollars to

2006
01:10:38,617 --> 01:10:40,617
help continue to provide the high

2007
01:10:40,617 --> 01:10:43,617
level of service that our residents have

2008
01:10:43,617 --> 01:10:46,170
come to rely upon

2009
01:10:46,617 --> 01:10:49,617
. Certainly as we are kind of navigating

2010
01:10:49,617 --> 01:10:51,617
through some --

2011
01:10:52,617 --> 01:10:57,417
let's just say some less than ideal budget

2012
01:10:58,617 --> 01:10:58,817
--upcoming budget. And we're making our

2013
01:10:58,817 --> 01:10:59,617
way

2014
01:10:59,617 --> 01:11:01,617
through, but it is really important we

2015
01:11:01,617 --> 01:11:01,817
have an eye toward the future knowing

2016
01:11:01,817 --> 01:11:03,817
that

2017
01:11:04,617 --> 01:11:06,617
the one

2018
01:11:07,617 --> 01:11:07,883
time dollars that the federal government has

2019
01:11:07,883 --> 01:11:09,617
provided us

2020
01:11:09,617 --> 01:11:10,617
have more or less been exhausted at this

2021
01:11:10,617 --> 01:11:11,617
point so we really need to. The

2022
01:11:11,617 --> 01:11:13,617
planning for tomorrow began really

2023
01:11:13,617 --> 01:11:15,617
yesterday. We need

2024
01:11:16,617 --> 01:11:17,617
to figure out how to

2025
01:11:17,617 --> 01:11:19,617
take those steps to grow our economic

2026
01:11:19,617 --> 01:11:21,617
base. And this is

2027
01:11:21,617 --> 01:11:25,217
a really critical component to it.

2028
01:11:25,617 --> 01:11:27,617
again, really appreciate that.

2029
01:11:27,617 --> 01:11:28,617
last question I had going back to

2030
01:11:28,617 --> 01:11:30,617
the presentation

2031
01:11:30,617 --> 01:11:31,617
that the economic development consultants

2032
01:11:31,617 --> 01:11:33,617
had

2033
01:11:34,617 --> 01:11:37,617
presented to us . If I

2034
01:11:37,617 --> 01:11:37,833
remember correctly --please correct me

2035
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:39,833
if I'm

2036
01:11:40,617 --> 01:11:42,617
wrong. I believe

2037
01:11:43,617 --> 01:11:45,617
they reference some potential surface

2038
01:11:45,617 --> 01:11:46,617
county properties within the city limits.

2039
01:11:46,617 --> 01:11:48,617
that

2040
01:11:49,617 --> 01:11:51,617
could potentially

2041
01:11:52,617 --> 01:11:54,617
be subject to a swap of some

2042
01:11:54,617 --> 01:11:58,617
kind or a sale or exchange. Maybe

2043
01:11:58,617 --> 01:11:58,867
I'm not understanding that correctly. But

2044
01:11:58,867 --> 01:12:00,617
I am kind

2045
01:12:00,617 --> 01:12:01,617
of thinking in terms of future uses.

2046
01:12:01,617 --> 01:12:03,617
if that

2047
01:12:03,617 --> 01:12:04,617
were ever to come to fruition, we would

2048
01:12:04,617 --> 01:12:07,617
still have the ability to make

2049
01:12:07,617 --> 01:12:10,170
modifications to accommodate that

2050
01:12:10,617 --> 01:12:12,617
possibility

2051
01:12:13,617 --> 01:12:15,617
. We are not set in

2052
01:12:15,617 --> 01:12:16,617
stone just because we are doing this

2053
01:12:16,617 --> 01:12:17,617
today. We still have some flexibility to respond

2054
01:12:17,617 --> 01:12:19,617
to

2055
01:12:20,617 --> 01:12:21,617
any new --a new

2056
01:12:21,617 --> 01:12:21,850
project that may come forward .

2057
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:23,617
>>

2058
01:12:23,617 --> 01:12:25,617
absolutely. This

2059
01:12:25,617 --> 01:12:26,617
does not hamstring you in any way

2060
01:12:26,617 --> 01:12:28,617
of considering

2061
01:12:30,617 --> 01:12:32,617
changing it in the future or adding

2062
01:12:32,617 --> 01:12:33,617
or removing uses

2063
01:12:33,617 --> 01:12:36,170
. Changing the development standards.

2064
01:12:37,617 --> 01:12:38,617
in response to a project. Not at all.

2065
01:12:38,617 --> 01:12:40,617
>> okay.

2066
01:12:41,617 --> 01:12:43,617
>>

2067
01:12:43,617 --> 01:12:44,617
I think that is all I had. Thank you

2068
01:12:44,617 --> 01:12:46,617
so much. Really

2069
01:12:47,617 --> 01:12:49,617
appreciate it.

2070
01:12:49,617 --> 01:12:50,617
>> hi, dan. Thank you so much for

2071
01:12:50,617 --> 01:12:51,617
all the

2072
01:12:51,617 --> 01:12:53,617
work that you have done. Most of my

2073
01:12:53,617 --> 01:12:55,617
questions have been asked

2074
01:12:55,617 --> 01:12:56,617
by my fellow councilmembers. So that

2075
01:12:56,617 --> 01:12:58,617
is great.

2076
01:12:58,617 --> 01:12:59,617
I did have a question about the frontage

2077
01:12:59,617 --> 01:13:01,617
requirement

2078
01:13:02,617 --> 01:13:03,617
that mayor

2079
01:13:03,617 --> 01:13:05,617
brianne zorn had asked you about earlier.

2080
01:13:05,617 --> 01:13:07,617
I'm still not sure I understand

2081
01:13:07,617 --> 01:13:11,617
but I think I understand it. If a

2082
01:13:11,617 --> 01:13:12,617
new business were to want to go

2083
01:13:12,617 --> 01:13:14,617
into a building downtown and there were

2084
01:13:14,617 --> 01:13:16,617
no windows

2085
01:13:17,617 --> 01:13:19,617
in that storefront

2086
01:13:19,617 --> 01:13:20,617
, there would be an obligation to create

2087
01:13:20,617 --> 01:13:22,617
some

2088
01:13:23,617 --> 01:13:26,617
sort of window or some sort of

2089
01:13:26,617 --> 01:13:28,617
opportunity for people to

2090
01:13:28,617 --> 01:13:29,617
be able to look in and see what actually is going

2091
01:13:29,617 --> 01:13:30,617
on in their provided

2092
01:13:30,617 --> 01:13:32,617
it is a certain type of business.

2093
01:13:32,617 --> 01:13:33,617
so that would require some

2094
01:13:33,617 --> 01:13:37,817
construction at the front of the door

2095
01:13:38,617 --> 01:13:40,617
that would have a

2096
01:13:40,617 --> 01:13:41,617
window in it or something along those lines. Is

2097
01:13:41,617 --> 01:13:42,617
that what you are kind of

2098
01:13:42,617 --> 01:13:43,500
getting at?

2099
01:13:43,500 --> 01:13:44,617
>> you asking specifically

2100
01:13:44,617 --> 01:13:47,617
if there are no windows.

2101
01:13:52,617 --> 01:13:53,617
>> yes. >> there would be a couple

2102
01:13:53,617 --> 01:13:54,617
different ways where

2103
01:13:54,617 --> 01:13:55,617
they could comply with this requirement.

2104
01:13:55,617 --> 01:13:56,617
it would not necessarily need to put

2105
01:13:56,617 --> 01:13:58,617
a window in.

2106
01:13:58,617 --> 01:13:59,617
we have a catch all at the end of

2107
01:13:59,617 --> 01:14:00,100
that requirement where it says other

2108
01:14:00,100 --> 01:14:02,500
pedestrian oriented visual display.

2109
01:14:02,617 --> 01:14:04,617
that could be sums

2110
01:14:04,617 --> 01:14:05,617
--some form of public art they put on

2111
01:14:05,617 --> 01:14:08,170
the building. Even something

2112
01:14:08,617 --> 01:14:10,617
like a mural.

2113
01:14:13,617 --> 01:14:14,617
those could all satisfy the requirement.

2114
01:14:14,617 --> 01:14:15,617
>> okay. Some of

2115
01:14:15,617 --> 01:14:17,617
those are low cost as opposed to more

2116
01:14:17,617 --> 01:14:20,617
expensive costs. I appreciate that.

2117
01:14:21,617 --> 01:14:23,617
like I said, most of my questions

2118
01:14:23,617 --> 01:14:25,617
have all been answered. I do want

2119
01:14:25,617 --> 01:14:28,617
to say that I'm glad we have eliminated refining

2120
01:14:28,617 --> 01:14:29,617
because I don't think we want to see

2121
01:14:29,617 --> 01:14:30,617
anymore refining

2122
01:14:30,617 --> 01:14:34,217
occurring in the city of martinez.

2123
01:14:34,617 --> 01:14:37,617
so I super appreciate that being changed.

2124
01:14:37,617 --> 01:14:38,617
and I don't really have any other

2125
01:14:38,617 --> 01:14:41,170
questions. Just a comment

2126
01:14:41,617 --> 01:14:43,617
about what

2127
01:14:44,617 --> 01:14:45,617
satinder malhi mentioned

2128
01:14:45,617 --> 01:14:47,617
about the hypothetical situation of

2129
01:14:47,617 --> 01:14:50,617
a baseball game and a food truck rose

2130
01:14:50,617 --> 01:14:52,617
up . The

2131
01:14:52,617 --> 01:14:53,617
concern that I have and I'm sure you

2132
01:14:53,617 --> 01:14:54,617
do too is that I don't think

2133
01:14:54,617 --> 01:14:56,617
many people know or understand that they could

2134
01:14:56,617 --> 01:14:56,800
call the police department and have

2135
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,800
a

2136
01:14:59,617 --> 01:15:01,617
food truck

2137
01:15:01,617 --> 01:15:02,617
--a conversation with the food truck

2138
01:15:02,617 --> 01:15:03,617
about their presence

2139
01:15:03,617 --> 01:15:05,617
there or not. People don't know to

2140
01:15:05,617 --> 01:15:05,867
do that. But the food truck could

2141
01:15:05,867 --> 01:15:07,617
impact the

2142
01:15:07,617 --> 01:15:08,617
sales that the kids have at their

2143
01:15:08,617 --> 01:15:10,617
little

2144
01:15:11,617 --> 01:15:13,617
snack shack.

2145
01:15:13,617 --> 01:15:14,617
so that is my concern. It has to be some

2146
01:15:14,617 --> 01:15:17,170
sort of public awareness

2147
01:15:17,617 --> 01:15:20,617
that if there was a truck that came up

2148
01:15:20,617 --> 01:15:23,170
-- or mobile vendors

2149
01:15:23,617 --> 01:15:25,617
. People know what

2150
01:15:25,617 --> 01:15:26,617
they can do because I don't think

2151
01:15:26,617 --> 01:15:28,617
people understand

2152
01:15:31,617 --> 01:15:32,617
what they can do. The tools they have

2153
01:15:32,617 --> 01:15:35,617
available to them. So that is

2154
01:15:35,617 --> 01:15:36,617
just my concern. If there is

2155
01:15:36,617 --> 01:15:37,617
these mobile vendors taking advantage

2156
01:15:37,617 --> 01:15:41,617
of an opportunity, then no one understands

2157
01:15:41,617 --> 01:15:42,617
that there may be rules

2158
01:15:42,617 --> 01:15:44,617
and policies and ordinances. They

2159
01:15:44,617 --> 01:15:47,170
are not thinking that.

2160
01:15:47,617 --> 01:15:49,617
so that is sort of where

2161
01:15:49,617 --> 01:15:50,617
I'm going with this. Maybe we can

2162
01:15:50,617 --> 01:15:50,800
also do some outreach so people know

2163
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:51,617
in

2164
01:15:51,617 --> 01:15:53,617
those certain areas that they have

2165
01:15:53,617 --> 01:15:56,617
an opportunity to reach out to

2166
01:15:56,617 --> 01:15:58,617
try to make their

2167
01:15:58,617 --> 01:16:02,617
case known so that maybe the truck

2168
01:16:02,617 --> 01:16:02,883
can no longer reside there.

2169
01:16:02,883 --> 01:16:03,617
>> we can

2170
01:16:03,617 --> 01:16:05,617
definitely work on doing some public

2171
01:16:05,617 --> 01:16:08,617
outreach if these regulations become

2172
01:16:10,617 --> 01:16:11,617
effective june 15th. We would want

2173
01:16:11,617 --> 01:16:12,617
to do some outreach to the

2174
01:16:12,617 --> 01:16:15,617
community just to raise awareness.

2175
01:16:17,617 --> 01:16:19,617
>> that is all

2176
01:16:19,617 --> 01:16:20,617
I have. Thank you so much. This has

2177
01:16:20,617 --> 01:16:22,617
been, like, a huge task.

2178
01:16:22,617 --> 01:16:23,617
in looking at the agenda here. This

2179
01:16:23,617 --> 01:16:26,617
item takes up the entire page. So

2180
01:16:26,617 --> 01:16:28,617
if that goes into showing how

2181
01:16:28,617 --> 01:16:32,617
much time and effort went into this

2182
01:16:32,617 --> 01:16:33,617
,

2183
01:16:33,617 --> 01:16:35,617
it is commendable. So thank you, all,

2184
01:16:35,617 --> 01:16:37,617
for all the work you have done in putting

2185
01:16:37,617 --> 01:16:38,617
up with us and everybody else that

2186
01:16:38,617 --> 01:16:41,617
has been asking for changes.

2187
01:16:41,617 --> 01:16:42,670
thank you.

2188
01:16:42,670 --> 01:16:43,617
>> thanks, everyone. Before I

2189
01:16:43,617 --> 01:16:44,617
opened it up to public comment, any

2190
01:16:44,617 --> 01:16:46,617
last comments from

2191
01:16:47,617 --> 01:16:48,617
the council?

2192
01:16:48,617 --> 01:16:48,867
yeah. Councilmember ross.

2193
01:16:48,867 --> 01:16:50,617
>> back

2194
01:16:50,617 --> 01:16:53,170
to the food truck

2195
01:16:53,617 --> 01:16:55,617
scenario again.

2196
01:16:56,617 --> 01:16:57,617
just wanted to make a

2197
01:16:57,617 --> 01:16:59,617
comment. I know that we are separating

2198
01:16:59,617 --> 01:17:01,617
food trucks .

2199
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:02,617
one strategy down the road may be

2200
01:17:02,617 --> 01:17:05,617
to allow them to collate and

2201
01:17:05,617 --> 01:17:07,617
be together

2202
01:17:08,617 --> 01:17:09,617
in order to

2203
01:17:09,617 --> 01:17:10,617
have a bathroom facility nearby. I

2204
01:17:10,617 --> 01:17:11,617
think the bathroom question is going

2205
01:17:11,617 --> 01:17:13,617
to be the

2206
01:17:14,617 --> 01:17:14,800
sticking point here. Open the door

2207
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,800
to

2208
01:17:17,617 --> 01:17:19,617
it. But we release a trapdoor because

2209
01:17:19,617 --> 01:17:23,217
we have no public restrooms downtown.

2210
01:17:23,617 --> 01:17:26,617
so how they meet that requirement

2211
01:17:26,617 --> 01:17:26,817
-- I still don't see how that --maybe

2212
01:17:26,817 --> 01:17:28,817
they

2213
01:17:29,617 --> 01:17:31,617
will. But

2214
01:17:31,617 --> 01:17:32,617
one of the questions about the little

2215
01:17:32,617 --> 01:17:34,617
league scenario

2216
01:17:35,617 --> 01:17:38,170
. What if the little

2217
01:17:38,617 --> 01:17:38,800
league themselves decided to partner with

2218
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,800
a

2219
01:17:41,617 --> 01:17:44,617
food truck and instead of having

2220
01:17:44,617 --> 01:17:46,617
to man the

2221
01:17:47,617 --> 01:17:49,617
hotdog stand , lease

2222
01:17:50,617 --> 01:17:52,617
the opportunity.

2223
01:17:56,617 --> 01:17:58,550
is that something the city would get involved

2224
01:17:58,550 --> 01:17:59,100
with?

2225
01:17:59,100 --> 01:17:59,617
>> yeah. Great question. The city

2226
01:17:59,617 --> 01:17:59,950
would get involved with that since

2227
01:17:59,950 --> 01:18:02,350
presumably they would be

2228
01:18:02,617 --> 01:18:03,617
locating the

2229
01:18:03,617 --> 01:18:05,617
truck on city property. They would

2230
01:18:05,617 --> 01:18:06,617
need the approval of the city and

2231
01:18:06,617 --> 01:18:08,617
they would need to go through the

2232
01:18:08,617 --> 01:18:08,883
temporary use permit process and get

2233
01:18:08,883 --> 01:18:10,617
a temporary

2234
01:18:10,617 --> 01:18:11,617
use permit to do that. That is absolutely

2235
01:18:11,617 --> 01:18:14,617
something that could be accommodated

2236
01:18:14,617 --> 01:18:14,883
by this framework.

2237
01:18:14,883 --> 01:18:16,617
>> any

2238
01:18:16,617 --> 01:18:17,617
other entity . To say the sportsman

2239
01:18:17,617 --> 01:18:19,617
club had an

2240
01:18:20,617 --> 01:18:23,170
event. Danny does his

2241
01:18:23,617 --> 01:18:26,617
own cooking. Doesn't need a food truck

2242
01:18:26,617 --> 01:18:29,617
down there. Say some group

2243
01:18:29,617 --> 01:18:32,617
had a building . They are on

2244
01:18:32,617 --> 01:18:34,617
private property.

2245
01:18:34,617 --> 01:18:35,617
they invite a food truck to come on. They are

2246
01:18:35,617 --> 01:18:38,170
not necessarily --they invited

2247
01:18:38,617 --> 01:18:40,617
a food truck for

2248
01:18:40,617 --> 01:18:42,617
private property as opposed to public property

2249
01:18:42,617 --> 01:18:44,617
. With the

2250
01:18:45,617 --> 01:18:47,617
have to go through the same

2251
01:18:47,617 --> 01:18:48,670
process?

2252
01:18:48,670 --> 01:18:48,617
>> yes. Anytime a food truck

2253
01:18:48,617 --> 01:18:50,617
wanted to

2254
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:52,100
locate on

2255
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:52,617
private property, they would require

2256
01:18:52,617 --> 01:18:54,617
a temporary use permit. Even for a

2257
01:18:54,617 --> 01:18:56,617
one-time event. Yeah.

2258
01:18:57,617 --> 01:18:59,617
it is

2259
01:19:00,617 --> 01:19:02,617
a low fee. $450 fee

2260
01:19:02,617 --> 01:19:03,617
. So we wanted to make sure that it

2261
01:19:03,617 --> 01:19:04,117
was not

2262
01:19:04,117 --> 01:19:06,617
prohibitive so if somebody wanted

2263
01:19:06,617 --> 01:19:08,617
to do a one-day event or

2264
01:19:08,617 --> 01:19:10,617
two-day event, it would not discourage them

2265
01:19:10,617 --> 01:19:12,617
too much from having that food truck.

2266
01:19:12,617 --> 01:19:14,617
but because it would

2267
01:19:14,617 --> 01:19:15,617
have to go through a staff process

2268
01:19:15,617 --> 01:19:17,617
and cost

2269
01:19:18,617 --> 01:19:20,617
staff time,

2270
01:19:21,617 --> 01:19:23,617
we did need to impose a

2271
01:19:23,617 --> 01:19:24,117
fee.

2272
01:19:24,117 --> 01:19:24,617
>> $450 for one day. >> that

2273
01:19:24,617 --> 01:19:26,617
is

2274
01:19:26,617 --> 01:19:27,617
correct. Yeah. If they were doing it

2275
01:19:27,617 --> 01:19:29,617
for one

2276
01:19:30,617 --> 01:19:31,617
day, I would encourage them to get the

2277
01:19:31,617 --> 01:19:33,617
temporary use permit for the year. And

2278
01:19:33,617 --> 01:19:36,617
then they could have other times where they

2279
01:19:36,617 --> 01:19:37,617
have that event again.

2280
01:19:37,617 --> 01:19:37,883
but yes. Even for one day.

2281
01:19:37,883 --> 01:19:39,617
>> are

2282
01:19:39,617 --> 01:19:41,617
there any chances

2283
01:19:42,617 --> 01:19:45,617
exclusions or exemptions for charitable organizations

2284
01:19:45,617 --> 01:19:47,617
if it was

2285
01:19:50,617 --> 01:19:50,850
a fundraiser for a charitable organization?

2286
01:19:50,850 --> 01:19:51,617
>>

2287
01:19:51,617 --> 01:19:52,617
I would defer to the

2288
01:19:52,617 --> 01:19:54,617
planning manager on that question.

2289
01:19:54,617 --> 01:19:55,617
>>

2290
01:19:55,617 --> 01:19:56,617
so if you're wanting to make exceptions

2291
01:19:56,617 --> 01:19:57,617
for application fees, that would be

2292
01:19:57,617 --> 01:19:58,617
something that would

2293
01:19:58,617 --> 01:20:00,617
need to be codified as part of the

2294
01:20:00,617 --> 01:20:02,617
fee schedule.

2295
01:20:03,617 --> 01:20:05,617
at this point in time, it

2296
01:20:05,617 --> 01:20:06,617
would be based on the adoptive fee

2297
01:20:06,617 --> 01:20:06,933
schedule.

2298
01:20:06,933 --> 01:20:08,933
>> we can do

2299
01:20:09,617 --> 01:20:12,617
that later. We could revise the

2300
01:20:12,617 --> 01:20:14,617
fee schedule

2301
01:20:14,617 --> 01:20:15,200
.

2302
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:15,617
>> it could be done at a later date.

2303
01:20:15,617 --> 01:20:17,617
yes.

2304
01:20:17,617 --> 01:20:21,217
>> sorry to interrupt. Just to clarify

2305
01:20:24,617 --> 01:20:26,617
, dan,

2306
01:20:26,617 --> 01:20:27,617
to repeat back what you said, the $450 is

2307
01:20:27,617 --> 01:20:28,617
for a temporary use permit

2308
01:20:28,617 --> 01:20:30,617
that does apply to the entire year.

2309
01:20:30,617 --> 01:20:33,170
if they want to

2310
01:20:33,617 --> 01:20:35,617
come back

2311
01:20:35,617 --> 01:20:36,617
two days in the next calendar year,

2312
01:20:36,617 --> 01:20:37,617
it

2313
01:20:37,617 --> 01:20:39,617
is the same cost. If they want to

2314
01:20:39,617 --> 01:20:40,617
come back 100 days, which we allow in

2315
01:20:40,617 --> 01:20:42,617
this provision, it is still the same cost.

2316
01:20:42,617 --> 01:20:44,617
>> yes, mayor. That

2317
01:20:45,617 --> 01:20:48,170
is correct. Renewal fee

2318
01:20:48,617 --> 01:20:49,617
and $225

2319
01:20:49,617 --> 01:20:49,850
if we renew for a subsequent year.

2320
01:20:49,850 --> 01:20:51,617
>>

2321
01:20:51,617 --> 01:20:53,617
so if

2322
01:20:54,617 --> 01:20:56,617
--a way to get around that is if there was

2323
01:20:56,617 --> 01:20:57,617
[ inaudible ] with a charitable organization

2324
01:20:57,617 --> 01:20:58,617
, they

2325
01:20:58,617 --> 01:21:02,217
could use that same permit continually

2326
01:21:02,617 --> 01:21:03,617
. A different organization could use

2327
01:21:03,617 --> 01:21:05,617
the same truck

2328
01:21:08,617 --> 01:21:09,670
over the year.

2329
01:21:09,670 --> 01:21:09,617
>> yes. Absolutely. >>

2330
01:21:09,617 --> 01:21:12,617
last question. If we have a

2331
01:21:12,617 --> 01:21:14,617
food truck

2332
01:21:14,617 --> 01:21:15,617
that does research and development on

2333
01:21:15,617 --> 01:21:18,170
a deck on an

2334
01:21:18,617 --> 01:21:20,617
adu.

2335
01:21:21,617 --> 01:21:24,617
we will pass on that.

2336
01:21:30,617 --> 01:21:31,617
>> okay. I'm going to open this up

2337
01:21:31,617 --> 01:21:32,617
to public comment. Thank you so much

2338
01:21:32,617 --> 01:21:33,617
for all of the answers, dan. Anyone

2339
01:21:33,617 --> 01:21:35,617
in council chambers that

2340
01:21:35,617 --> 01:21:36,617
has any comments or questions on all

2341
01:21:36,617 --> 01:21:37,617
of the items that were presented

2342
01:21:37,617 --> 01:21:38,000
this evening?

2343
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,617
>> if you would like

2344
01:21:39,617 --> 01:21:41,617
to make a comment, show of hand.

2345
01:21:41,617 --> 01:21:42,617
I have no one here in chambers. I

2346
01:21:42,617 --> 01:21:44,617
will move to

2347
01:21:45,617 --> 01:21:48,617
zoom. If you would like to make

2348
01:21:48,617 --> 01:21:49,617
public comment on item number

2349
01:21:49,617 --> 01:21:54,417
nine, please use the rays had featured now.

2350
01:21:54,617 --> 01:21:57,170
I have no hands.

2351
01:21:57,617 --> 01:21:59,617
oh. Sorry.

2352
01:21:59,617 --> 01:22:00,617
the last minute. All right. I will

2353
01:22:00,617 --> 01:22:03,170
ask you to unmute.

2354
01:22:12,617 --> 01:22:14,617
jb,

2355
01:22:15,617 --> 01:22:17,617
are you there?

2356
01:22:21,617 --> 01:22:24,617
all right. Let's move on. I have

2357
01:22:24,617 --> 01:22:25,000
no hands.

2358
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,617
>> all right. Thank you

2359
01:22:26,617 --> 01:22:27,617
so much. I'm going to bring this back to

2360
01:22:27,617 --> 01:22:30,170
council for any last

2361
01:22:30,617 --> 01:22:32,617
comments

2362
01:22:33,617 --> 01:22:33,850
or to make a motion if you choose.

2363
01:22:33,850 --> 01:22:35,617
>>

2364
01:22:35,617 --> 01:22:35,983
I have one last question.

2365
01:22:35,983 --> 01:22:37,983
>> sure. >>

2366
01:22:39,617 --> 01:22:41,617
so if I was

2367
01:22:41,617 --> 01:22:42,617
having a private party at my home and I

2368
01:22:42,617 --> 01:22:43,617
wanted to have a mobile

2369
01:22:43,617 --> 01:22:45,617
vendor come onto my personal property

2370
01:22:45,617 --> 01:22:48,617
onto my driveway for my guests

2371
01:22:48,617 --> 01:22:51,617
to have tacos or something, is that same

2372
01:22:51,617 --> 01:22:53,617
temporary

2373
01:22:53,617 --> 01:22:53,950
use permit required?

2374
01:22:53,950 --> 01:22:54,617
>> yes, it is.

2375
01:22:54,617 --> 01:22:57,617
>> okay. Just wanted to check.

2376
01:22:59,617 --> 01:23:00,170
okay. Thanks.

2377
01:23:00,170 --> 01:23:00,617
>> I have a very easy

2378
01:23:00,617 --> 01:23:01,617
question because I

2379
01:23:01,617 --> 01:23:03,617
know this is the answer. But we have in fact

2380
01:23:03,617 --> 01:23:05,617
been in thorough consultation with

2381
01:23:05,617 --> 01:23:08,617
the chamber with downtown martinez

2382
01:23:08,617 --> 01:23:09,617
on this and they are good . Write?

2383
01:23:09,617 --> 01:23:11,617
>> yes.

2384
01:23:12,617 --> 01:23:15,617
I just wanted to confirm on

2385
01:23:15,617 --> 01:23:18,617
the record that we have kept them

2386
01:23:18,617 --> 01:23:23,417
in the loop every step of the way.

2387
01:23:24,617 --> 01:23:24,883
that is all I needed.

2388
01:23:24,883 --> 01:23:25,617
>> to

2389
01:23:25,617 --> 01:23:27,617
your point, I would recommend if you're

2390
01:23:27,617 --> 01:23:27,833
having a party and you want a food

2391
01:23:27,833 --> 01:23:29,617
truck,

2392
01:23:29,617 --> 01:23:30,617
you can park it legally outside of

2393
01:23:30,617 --> 01:23:32,617
your house

2394
01:23:36,617 --> 01:23:38,617
and you don't have

2395
01:23:38,617 --> 01:23:39,617
to get a temporary use permit if it

2396
01:23:39,617 --> 01:23:41,617
is an illegal parking spot.

2397
01:23:41,617 --> 01:23:42,617
>> for less than an hour. >> less

2398
01:23:42,617 --> 01:23:44,617
than an hour. Then the have to move.

2399
01:23:44,617 --> 01:23:45,617
>> wait. So you are saying vice mayor wants

2400
01:23:45,617 --> 01:23:47,617
to have a party. The truck

2401
01:23:47,617 --> 01:23:48,617
parks in a legal space for one hour.

2402
01:23:48,617 --> 01:23:51,170
they have to move

2403
01:23:51,617 --> 01:23:54,617
at least one legal parking

2404
01:23:54,617 --> 01:23:56,617
space away and now they

2405
01:23:56,617 --> 01:23:56,983
have another hour.

2406
01:23:56,983 --> 01:23:58,983
>> that's correct.

2407
01:24:00,617 --> 01:24:02,617
>> to clarify,

2408
01:24:02,617 --> 01:24:03,617
you would still need to have that

2409
01:24:03,617 --> 01:24:04,617
--the food truck would still

2410
01:24:04,617 --> 01:24:06,617
need a business license. They would

2411
01:24:06,617 --> 01:24:06,883
still need all of the other regulatory

2412
01:24:06,883 --> 01:24:07,617
permits such

2413
01:24:07,617 --> 01:24:09,617
as environmental health and all of

2414
01:24:09,617 --> 01:24:11,617
those items.

2415
01:24:13,617 --> 01:24:14,617
>> they don't have

2416
01:24:14,617 --> 01:24:16,617
to pony up the 450 if they are in a

2417
01:24:16,617 --> 01:24:17,617
legal parking

2418
01:24:17,617 --> 01:24:19,617
space. The state has prevented us

2419
01:24:19,617 --> 01:24:21,617
from allowing that.

2420
01:24:22,617 --> 01:24:24,617
>> that's right. >>

2421
01:24:25,617 --> 01:24:28,170
to follow up, sorry

2422
01:24:28,617 --> 01:24:31,617
to keep talking about this item.

2423
01:24:31,617 --> 01:24:32,617
right now

2424
01:24:32,617 --> 01:24:33,617
-- I'm going to go ahead and make

2425
01:24:33,617 --> 01:24:37,617
reference to one food truck that I

2426
01:24:37,617 --> 01:24:38,617
know of. They come to our school

2427
01:24:38,617 --> 01:24:40,617
every day on wednesdays for an hour

2428
01:24:40,617 --> 01:24:42,617
or so.

2429
01:24:44,617 --> 01:24:46,617
shaved ice. I see them all over the

2430
01:24:46,617 --> 01:24:48,617
city. They do

2431
01:24:48,617 --> 01:24:49,617
a great job. They get back to ptas

2432
01:24:49,617 --> 01:24:50,617
and local nonprofits and

2433
01:24:50,617 --> 01:24:52,617
things. So our existing food trucks

2434
01:24:52,617 --> 01:24:54,617
that are

2435
01:24:55,617 --> 01:24:56,617
operating in the city .

2436
01:24:56,617 --> 01:24:58,617
have they had to get this temporary

2437
01:24:58,617 --> 01:25:00,617
use permit?

2438
01:25:01,617 --> 01:25:03,617
and will

2439
01:25:09,617 --> 01:25:10,617
-- as long as they are less than an

2440
01:25:10,617 --> 01:25:11,617
hour, doesn't really

2441
01:25:11,617 --> 01:25:12,617
matter, but there has kind of been

2442
01:25:12,617 --> 01:25:13,617
an incentive for some of the local

2443
01:25:13,617 --> 01:25:14,617
businesses

2444
01:25:14,617 --> 01:25:16,617
that might want to be called for parties to go

2445
01:25:16,617 --> 01:25:17,617
ahead and get the temporary use permit

2446
01:25:17,617 --> 01:25:18,617
because that really gives them a lot

2447
01:25:18,617 --> 01:25:19,617
more flexibility throughout the year.

2448
01:25:19,617 --> 01:25:20,617
>>

2449
01:25:20,617 --> 01:25:21,617
yeah. That's right. It does give them

2450
01:25:21,617 --> 01:25:22,617
a lot more flexibility. And if they

2451
01:25:22,617 --> 01:25:23,617
are located

2452
01:25:23,617 --> 01:25:25,617
on school property, they would not

2453
01:25:25,617 --> 01:25:27,617
need a temporary use permit

2454
01:25:27,617 --> 01:25:28,617
if they are in a parking space. They

2455
01:25:28,617 --> 01:25:30,617
would not.

2456
01:25:33,617 --> 01:25:34,617
>> they are currently in a parking

2457
01:25:34,617 --> 01:25:35,617
space. I was just

2458
01:25:35,617 --> 01:25:37,617
thinking about it because I think the

2459
01:25:37,617 --> 01:25:37,817
reason this conversation started with respect

2460
01:25:37,817 --> 01:25:38,617
to food

2461
01:25:38,617 --> 01:25:39,617
trucks was actually in the downtown

2462
01:25:39,617 --> 01:25:40,617
we had a food trucks operating elsewhere

2463
01:25:40,617 --> 01:25:41,617
in

2464
01:25:41,617 --> 01:25:43,617
the city and now the supplies are

2465
01:25:43,617 --> 01:25:46,170
basically citywide. I appreciate

2466
01:25:46,617 --> 01:25:48,617
councilmember

2467
01:25:52,617 --> 01:25:53,617
malhi

2468
01:25:53,617 --> 01:25:55,617
bringing up some of these questions about

2469
01:25:55,617 --> 01:25:56,617
our parks and little league and things like

2470
01:25:56,617 --> 01:25:58,617
that because the driver for this original

2471
01:25:58,617 --> 01:26:01,170
discussion really was not

2472
01:26:03,617 --> 01:26:04,617
our parks and food trucks coming to

2473
01:26:04,617 --> 01:26:05,617
the parks. It was really more

2474
01:26:05,617 --> 01:26:06,617
of the downtown corridor. Thank you

2475
01:26:06,617 --> 01:26:08,617
for that clarification. I think there

2476
01:26:08,617 --> 01:26:10,617
will probably be a little bit of growing

2477
01:26:10,617 --> 01:26:10,833
pains over the next couple of months and

2478
01:26:10,833 --> 01:26:12,617
maybe

2479
01:26:12,617 --> 01:26:13,617
a year as people get used to what the

2480
01:26:13,617 --> 01:26:14,617
new nuance of the rules

2481
01:26:14,617 --> 01:26:16,617
and how they impact existing businesses

2482
01:26:16,617 --> 01:26:18,617
in the city.

2483
01:26:19,617 --> 01:26:21,617
go ahead. Councilmember

2484
01:26:22,617 --> 01:26:22,933
ross.

2485
01:26:22,933 --> 01:26:24,933
>> madame mayor,

2486
01:26:25,617 --> 01:26:28,617
I would ask the indulgence to

2487
01:26:28,617 --> 01:26:29,617
-- we are talking about speaking

2488
01:26:29,617 --> 01:26:31,617
with the chamber and hopefully the

2489
01:26:31,617 --> 01:26:31,883
restaurant community was talked to.

2490
01:26:31,883 --> 01:26:33,883
the speaker that

2491
01:26:34,617 --> 01:26:36,617
was online --the

2492
01:26:36,617 --> 01:26:37,617
public comment her online did not connect

2493
01:26:37,617 --> 01:26:38,617
.

2494
01:26:38,617 --> 01:26:40,617
I'm presuming that was jb, one of

2495
01:26:40,617 --> 01:26:42,617
the local restaurant

2496
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:48,617
s. I would implore if we could perhaps

2497
01:26:48,617 --> 01:26:49,170
--is he still?

2498
01:26:49,170 --> 01:26:49,617
>> if he is listening

2499
01:26:49,617 --> 01:26:51,617
and would like

2500
01:26:52,617 --> 01:26:55,617
to attempt to make a comment ,

2501
01:26:55,617 --> 01:26:58,617
just raise the hand and I will

2502
01:26:58,617 --> 01:27:00,617
[ inaudible ]

2503
01:27:04,617 --> 01:27:06,617
>> he says he has raised his

2504
01:27:06,617 --> 01:27:07,183
hand.

2505
01:27:07,183 --> 01:27:07,617
>> he did. He just needs to unmute

2506
01:27:07,617 --> 01:27:09,617
himself now.

2507
01:27:16,617 --> 01:27:19,170
he is still muted.

2508
01:27:19,617 --> 01:27:22,170
now he has lowered

2509
01:27:22,617 --> 01:27:26,817
his hand and he is still muted.

2510
01:27:27,617 --> 01:27:28,617
I think we will have to move on at

2511
01:27:28,617 --> 01:27:30,617
this time.

2512
01:27:34,617 --> 01:27:34,800
>> okay. Thank you. >> I think it

2513
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,617
is

2514
01:27:36,617 --> 01:27:37,617
fair since many of us know him it is

2515
01:27:37,617 --> 01:27:38,617
worthwhile for us

2516
01:27:38,617 --> 01:27:39,617
to reach out and see if he has any

2517
01:27:39,617 --> 01:27:40,617
additional comments on that. Really

2518
01:27:40,617 --> 01:27:42,617
quickly, one

2519
01:27:43,617 --> 01:27:45,617
thought about

2520
01:27:46,617 --> 01:27:47,617
other events

2521
01:27:47,617 --> 01:27:49,617
such as national night out and various

2522
01:27:49,617 --> 01:27:52,617
things like that. How would

2523
01:27:52,617 --> 01:27:55,617
these types of rules impact

2524
01:27:55,617 --> 01:27:58,170
those gatherings of mobile

2525
01:27:58,617 --> 01:28:00,617
food vendors?

2526
01:28:01,617 --> 01:28:03,617
>> they would require

2527
01:28:04,617 --> 01:28:06,617
a temporary use permit if

2528
01:28:06,617 --> 01:28:07,617
the event takes place in a public park

2529
01:28:07,617 --> 01:28:09,617
or during a

2530
01:28:10,617 --> 01:28:12,617
street closure .

2531
01:28:13,617 --> 01:28:16,617
again, there are ways to get around

2532
01:28:16,617 --> 01:28:18,617
that if we locate them

2533
01:28:18,617 --> 01:28:19,617
in illegal parking spot and move them

2534
01:28:19,617 --> 01:28:21,617
every hour. Otherwise

2535
01:28:21,617 --> 01:28:22,617
they would still require the $450

2536
01:28:22,617 --> 01:28:24,617
temporary

2537
01:28:25,617 --> 01:28:25,950
use permit.

2538
01:28:25,950 --> 01:28:27,950
>> okay. Thank

2539
01:28:28,617 --> 01:28:31,170
you. All right. Council,

2540
01:28:31,617 --> 01:28:33,617
any

2541
01:28:34,617 --> 01:28:38,817
final questions or comments or emotion, please.

2542
01:28:40,617 --> 01:28:45,417
>> I would be happy to make the motion.

2543
01:28:46,617 --> 01:28:47,617
but I

2544
01:28:47,617 --> 01:28:49,617
would have to get my reading glasses.

2545
01:28:49,617 --> 01:28:49,817
>> can you make that contact with city attorney

2546
01:28:49,817 --> 01:28:51,617
and

2547
01:28:51,617 --> 01:28:52,617
ask her how much of that you need

2548
01:28:52,617 --> 01:28:52,950
to read aloud?

2549
01:28:52,950 --> 01:28:54,617
>> it will be

2550
01:28:54,617 --> 01:28:55,617
sufficient to say, move the staff

2551
01:28:55,617 --> 01:28:55,867
recommendation. That is why dan read

2552
01:28:55,867 --> 01:28:57,617
the whole

2553
01:28:57,617 --> 01:28:57,850
thing into the record for you.

2554
01:28:57,850 --> 01:28:58,617
>>

2555
01:28:58,617 --> 01:29:01,617
that is what I kind

2556
01:29:01,617 --> 01:29:01,867
of figured .

2557
01:29:01,867 --> 01:29:03,617
>> thank

2558
01:29:03,617 --> 01:29:04,183
you.

2559
01:29:04,183 --> 01:29:04,617
>> I would like to move the staff

2560
01:29:04,617 --> 01:29:07,170
recommendation on number nine.

2561
01:29:07,617 --> 01:29:09,617
>> second. >>

2562
01:29:10,617 --> 01:29:13,617
all right. Please vote per the

2563
01:29:13,617 --> 01:29:13,867
clerk's prompts.

2564
01:29:13,867 --> 01:29:15,867
>> [

2565
01:29:16,617 --> 01:29:18,617
roll being called ]

2566
01:29:25,617 --> 01:29:27,617
>>

2567
01:29:28,617 --> 01:29:30,617
motion passes.

2568
01:29:31,617 --> 01:29:31,950
all ayes.

2569
01:29:31,950 --> 01:29:33,617
>> all right.

2570
01:29:33,617 --> 01:29:35,617
before we move to the next item, I

2571
01:29:35,617 --> 01:29:39,217
wanted to check with staff. I

2572
01:29:39,617 --> 01:29:40,617
understand there are some folks in

2573
01:29:40,617 --> 01:29:43,617
the audience that are here to provide comment

2574
01:29:43,617 --> 01:29:46,617
on item number 12. I was just wondering

2575
01:29:46,617 --> 01:29:48,617
--assistant city manager, is there anyone

2576
01:29:48,617 --> 01:29:50,617
in the audience here to talk about

2577
01:29:50,617 --> 01:29:52,617
item 11? If

2578
01:29:53,617 --> 01:29:54,617
not, can I swap those two items?

2579
01:29:54,617 --> 01:29:56,617
>> I would certainly be okay with

2580
01:29:56,617 --> 01:29:57,617
it if it is

2581
01:29:57,617 --> 01:29:57,883
okay with the city manager.

2582
01:29:57,883 --> 01:29:59,617
>> I'm

2583
01:29:59,617 --> 01:30:01,617
so sorry.

2584
01:30:02,617 --> 01:30:05,617
I just completely jumped ahead.

2585
01:30:05,617 --> 01:30:07,617
I apologize.

2586
01:30:08,617 --> 01:30:10,617
>> that is fine. >> okay.

2587
01:30:10,617 --> 01:30:11,617
I think I would like to pull 12 up

2588
01:30:11,617 --> 01:30:12,617
before 10 and

2589
01:30:12,617 --> 01:30:14,617
11. I think 10 and 11 will be items

2590
01:30:14,617 --> 01:30:17,170
that might be discussing

2591
01:30:17,617 --> 01:30:18,617
a

2592
01:30:18,617 --> 01:30:19,617
little bit longer. So I'm going to

2593
01:30:19,617 --> 01:30:20,617
go ahead and jump ahead. Our next

2594
01:30:20,617 --> 01:30:22,617
item

2595
01:30:23,617 --> 01:30:25,617
on the

2596
01:30:26,617 --> 01:30:27,183
agenda is item 12.

2597
01:30:27,183 --> 01:30:28,617
receiver portable discussion and provide

2598
01:30:28,617 --> 01:30:29,617
direction to staff regarding terms and

2599
01:30:29,617 --> 01:30:32,170
conditions under which the

2600
01:30:32,617 --> 01:30:33,617
city can transfer the joltin joe

2601
01:30:33,617 --> 01:30:35,617
to the joe dimaggio hometown hero

2602
01:30:35,617 --> 01:30:35,933
project.

2603
01:30:35,933 --> 01:30:37,617
>> thank you

2604
01:30:37,617 --> 01:30:40,617
. I will be presenting this item tonight.

2605
01:30:40,617 --> 01:30:41,617
the joltin joe as you know is a beautiful

2606
01:30:41,617 --> 01:30:43,617
22-foot

2607
01:30:43,617 --> 01:30:44,617
sportsman boat . That was given to

2608
01:30:44,617 --> 01:30:46,617
joe dimaggio

2609
01:30:47,617 --> 01:30:49,617
in 1949

2610
01:30:50,617 --> 01:30:53,617
by his fans in new york city.

2611
01:30:53,617 --> 01:30:54,617
the vessel was

2612
01:30:54,617 --> 01:30:56,617
donated eventually to the city of

2613
01:30:56,617 --> 01:30:57,617
martinez in 1994 , which was

2614
01:30:57,617 --> 01:30:59,617
also the year of a restoration project

2615
01:30:59,617 --> 01:31:03,217
that took place for the boat.

2616
01:31:05,617 --> 01:31:06,617
as many of us

2617
01:31:06,617 --> 01:31:07,617
are familiar with some of its history

2618
01:31:07,617 --> 01:31:09,617
in 2010, several community groups

2619
01:31:09,617 --> 01:31:10,617
came together to work together on

2620
01:31:10,617 --> 01:31:13,617
another restoration of the boat, which took

2621
01:31:13,617 --> 01:31:14,617
several years . Several hands. This a

2622
01:31:14,617 --> 01:31:16,617
lot

2623
01:31:17,617 --> 01:31:19,617
of fundraising

2624
01:31:19,617 --> 01:31:20,617
. Since that --that was completed

2625
01:31:20,617 --> 01:31:22,617
about 2015.

2626
01:31:23,617 --> 01:31:25,617
since that

2627
01:31:28,617 --> 01:31:29,617
restoration, the joltin' joe has since

2628
01:31:29,617 --> 01:31:30,617
been displayed at community

2629
01:31:30,617 --> 01:31:32,617
events. In fact we have a format the

2630
01:31:32,617 --> 01:31:33,617
city for people to

2631
01:31:33,617 --> 01:31:35,617
fill out if they are interested in

2632
01:31:35,617 --> 01:31:37,617
having the boat

2633
01:31:40,617 --> 01:31:41,617
displayed. More intimately it has

2634
01:31:41,617 --> 01:31:42,617
been brought out during

2635
01:31:42,617 --> 01:31:44,617
our fourth of july parade, which the

2636
01:31:44,617 --> 01:31:44,800
city council has had the pleasure of writing

2637
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:46,617
in

2638
01:31:46,617 --> 01:31:47,617
as one of our city floats. It has

2639
01:31:47,617 --> 01:31:50,170
really been a prized

2640
01:31:53,617 --> 01:31:54,617
asset to the

2641
01:31:54,617 --> 01:31:55,617
city and community. We have heard

2642
01:31:55,617 --> 01:31:56,617
nothing over the years but really

2643
01:31:56,617 --> 01:31:57,617
positive things about the experience

2644
01:31:57,617 --> 01:31:58,617
and excitement that the community

2645
01:31:58,617 --> 01:31:59,617
gets when they have an opportunity

2646
01:31:59,617 --> 01:32:01,617
to see

2647
01:32:02,617 --> 01:32:05,617
the boat and also get a chance to

2648
01:32:05,617 --> 01:32:08,617
get up close with it at community events.

2649
01:32:08,617 --> 01:32:11,170
over the years, however,

2650
01:32:17,617 --> 01:32:18,617
the lack of good-quality storage

2651
01:32:18,617 --> 01:32:20,617
options has been a problem for us.

2652
01:32:20,617 --> 01:32:21,617
we do have it stored in a city

2653
01:32:21,617 --> 01:32:22,617
facility that is closer to the waterfront.

2654
01:32:22,617 --> 01:32:23,617
it is not really climate controlled.

2655
01:32:23,617 --> 01:32:25,617
so that has been an

2656
01:32:25,617 --> 01:32:29,617
ongoing concern that we have. We also lost

2657
01:32:29,617 --> 01:32:31,617
staff expertise on the

2658
01:32:31,617 --> 01:32:34,617
boat. We used to have a team of people

2659
01:32:34,617 --> 01:32:35,617
that were very passionate about the boat

2660
01:32:35,617 --> 01:32:38,170
who have since left

2661
01:32:38,617 --> 01:32:40,617
. So the most common feedback I

2662
01:32:40,617 --> 01:32:43,617
hear from our new generation public works

2663
01:32:43,617 --> 01:32:45,617
workforce is that they are not in

2664
01:32:45,617 --> 01:32:47,617
the boat business. They don't have

2665
01:32:47,617 --> 01:32:49,617
that understanding.

2666
01:32:50,617 --> 01:32:53,617
also funding. So we don't

2667
01:32:53,617 --> 01:32:55,617
have a city budget

2668
01:32:55,617 --> 01:32:56,617
right now to actually preserve and

2669
01:32:56,617 --> 01:32:59,617
maintain the boat. I would just

2670
01:32:59,617 --> 01:33:02,170
also add that at

2671
01:33:02,617 --> 01:33:05,170
present when community groups

2672
01:33:05,617 --> 01:33:06,617
do ask to bring it up for display at

2673
01:33:06,617 --> 01:33:08,617
community events, typically we pay

2674
01:33:08,617 --> 01:33:10,617
overtime costs.

2675
01:33:11,617 --> 01:33:14,617
so this is anywhere from

2676
01:33:14,617 --> 01:33:16,617
on

2677
01:33:17,617 --> 01:33:17,883
average 5 to 8 hours we ring a public

2678
01:33:17,883 --> 01:33:19,883
works person

2679
01:33:20,617 --> 01:33:23,617
and they have to stay with

2680
01:33:23,617 --> 01:33:25,617
the boat the whole time and

2681
01:33:25,617 --> 01:33:26,617
bring it back in. So there is a city

2682
01:33:26,617 --> 01:33:29,617
cost to kind of providing

2683
01:33:29,617 --> 01:33:32,617
this benefit to the public. I will

2684
01:33:32,617 --> 01:33:34,617
say that the

2685
01:33:35,617 --> 01:33:37,617
city proactively last year

2686
01:33:37,617 --> 01:33:38,617
after we were seeing some of these

2687
01:33:38,617 --> 01:33:40,617
challenges occur

2688
01:33:41,617 --> 01:33:42,617
--we did

2689
01:33:42,617 --> 01:33:44,617
have an assessment or appraisal done

2690
01:33:44,617 --> 01:33:46,617
through our city

2691
01:33:47,617 --> 01:33:49,617
insurance. So the

2692
01:33:50,617 --> 01:33:53,170
most recent number is

2693
01:33:53,617 --> 01:33:56,617
that the boat is valued at just

2694
01:33:56,617 --> 01:33:59,617
over $246,000. During the march 20th

2695
01:33:59,617 --> 01:34:02,170
city council meeting , a

2696
01:34:02,617 --> 01:34:05,170
few of you expressed

2697
01:34:11,617 --> 01:34:12,617
interest in transferring the joltin'

2698
01:34:12,617 --> 01:34:13,617
joe to the joe dimaggio hometown hero

2699
01:34:13,617 --> 01:34:14,617
project. This is a nonprofit organization

2700
01:34:14,617 --> 01:34:16,617
established in 2014 to

2701
01:34:16,617 --> 01:34:17,617
preserve the legacy of joe dimaggio in

2702
01:34:17,617 --> 01:34:18,617
this community.

2703
01:34:18,617 --> 01:34:19,617
subsequently, about a week or two

2704
01:34:19,617 --> 01:34:20,617
later, the organization submitted

2705
01:34:20,617 --> 01:34:22,617
a letter

2706
01:34:22,617 --> 01:34:23,617
of interest to the city, which was

2707
01:34:23,617 --> 01:34:25,617
attached to the

2708
01:34:25,617 --> 01:34:28,617
staff report expressing their interests

2709
01:34:29,617 --> 01:34:32,617
to seek a transfer of the

2710
01:34:32,617 --> 01:34:32,883
boat so they can again take it, preserve

2711
01:34:32,883 --> 01:34:34,883
it, display

2712
01:34:35,617 --> 01:34:37,617
it, and really

2713
01:34:38,617 --> 01:34:38,900
maintain it as a prized asset of the

2714
01:34:38,900 --> 01:34:40,900
community. The

2715
01:34:41,617 --> 01:34:43,617
benefits that staff

2716
01:34:47,617 --> 01:34:48,617
sees to a potential

2717
01:34:48,617 --> 01:34:49,617
transfer is, number one, it supports

2718
01:34:49,617 --> 01:34:50,617
the restoration and preservation of the

2719
01:34:50,617 --> 01:34:53,617
boat that staff just cannot

2720
01:34:53,617 --> 01:34:55,617
do today.

2721
01:34:56,617 --> 01:34:59,617
the organization would be in better position

2722
01:34:59,617 --> 01:34:59,817
to fund raise than the city would.

2723
01:34:59,817 --> 01:35:01,817
so they

2724
01:35:02,617 --> 01:35:02,833
can get those outside funds to support

2725
01:35:02,833 --> 01:35:04,617
those

2726
01:35:04,617 --> 01:35:05,617
efforts. It would save on insurance costs

2727
01:35:05,617 --> 01:35:07,617
because it is

2728
01:35:08,617 --> 01:35:11,617
a city asset. And potentially

2729
01:35:11,617 --> 01:35:13,617
the nonprofit would

2730
01:35:13,617 --> 01:35:14,617
be able to explore new opportunities to

2731
01:35:14,617 --> 01:35:16,617
display the boat

2732
01:35:16,617 --> 01:35:17,617
for new partnerships that can be formed

2733
01:35:17,617 --> 01:35:19,617
where

2734
01:35:20,617 --> 01:35:23,170
other new audiences could

2735
01:35:23,617 --> 01:35:26,617
enjoy the boat as well.

2736
01:35:26,617 --> 01:35:28,617
so what we are

2737
01:35:28,617 --> 01:35:29,617
asking the council tonight is just

2738
01:35:29,617 --> 01:35:31,617
your direction on

2739
01:35:32,617 --> 01:35:35,617
before we start exploring further

2740
01:35:35,617 --> 01:35:37,617
in agreement and

2741
01:35:37,617 --> 01:35:41,217
terms and conditions regarding this transfer

2742
01:35:44,617 --> 01:35:45,617
and an agreement with the hometown

2743
01:35:45,617 --> 01:35:46,117
hero project.

2744
01:35:46,117 --> 01:35:48,617
we're looking for your feedback tonight

2745
01:35:48,617 --> 01:35:51,617
on whether this is something

2746
01:35:51,617 --> 01:35:52,617
you would want

2747
01:35:52,617 --> 01:35:54,617
us to go further on. If so, the city

2748
01:35:54,617 --> 01:35:55,150
attorney would be assisting us

2749
01:35:55,150 --> 01:35:57,617
in putting together terms that would

2750
01:35:57,617 --> 01:36:00,170
include purpose and transfer

2751
01:36:00,617 --> 01:36:01,617
, public

2752
01:36:01,617 --> 01:36:02,617
displays. So at minimum, what would we

2753
01:36:02,617 --> 01:36:03,617
expect the nonprofit organization

2754
01:36:03,617 --> 01:36:05,617
to do

2755
01:36:05,617 --> 01:36:06,617
in terms of making the boat available

2756
01:36:06,617 --> 01:36:08,617
to the community

2757
01:36:09,617 --> 01:36:11,617
?

2758
01:36:12,617 --> 01:36:13,617
if the organization

2759
01:36:13,617 --> 01:36:15,617
was not able to meet the terms and

2760
01:36:15,617 --> 01:36:18,170
conditions of the agreement,

2761
01:36:18,617 --> 01:36:20,617
what would

2762
01:36:20,617 --> 01:36:21,617
b then the protocol for the city taking

2763
01:36:21,617 --> 01:36:22,117
the

2764
01:36:22,117 --> 01:36:24,617
boat back into our own ownership?

2765
01:36:24,617 --> 01:36:27,170
and then also insurance

2766
01:36:27,617 --> 01:36:29,617
for the

2767
01:36:33,617 --> 01:36:34,617
organization among many other.

2768
01:36:34,617 --> 01:36:36,617
I will pause and ask the city attorney, are

2769
01:36:36,617 --> 01:36:37,617
there any

2770
01:36:37,617 --> 01:36:38,617
other elements that would be useful

2771
01:36:38,617 --> 01:36:39,617
for the council tonight regarding

2772
01:36:39,617 --> 01:36:39,850
terms and conditions?

2773
01:36:39,850 --> 01:36:41,850
>>

2774
01:36:42,617 --> 01:36:44,617
I think you actually covered it.

2775
01:36:44,617 --> 01:36:45,617
those are the main terms. The chief

2776
01:36:45,617 --> 01:36:48,170
among them are some

2777
01:36:48,617 --> 01:36:51,617
direction because it is a

2778
01:36:51,617 --> 01:36:53,617
valuable asset . And

2779
01:36:54,617 --> 01:36:56,617
we are --

2780
01:36:56,617 --> 01:37:00,217
the proposal might include transferring it

2781
01:37:00,617 --> 01:37:02,617
as is

2782
01:37:03,617 --> 01:37:04,250
with

2783
01:37:04,250 --> 01:37:05,617
no compensation but with many conditions, chief

2784
01:37:05,617 --> 01:37:09,217
among which would be the requirement

2785
01:37:09,617 --> 01:37:12,617
to have some ongoing display

2786
01:37:12,617 --> 01:37:14,617
so that the community

2787
01:37:14,617 --> 01:37:15,617
could enjoy the historic asset . So

2788
01:37:15,617 --> 01:37:17,617
that would

2789
01:37:17,617 --> 01:37:18,617
be an important thing. And lauren

2790
01:37:18,617 --> 01:37:20,617
did

2791
01:37:20,617 --> 01:37:21,617
mention that. Of course a right of

2792
01:37:21,617 --> 01:37:23,617
reverter clause

2793
01:37:24,617 --> 01:37:26,617
in case for

2794
01:37:26,617 --> 01:37:27,617
some reason the nonprofit overtime

2795
01:37:27,617 --> 01:37:29,617
couldn't

2796
01:37:29,617 --> 01:37:32,617
comply with the terms or disbanded

2797
01:37:32,617 --> 01:37:33,617
or something the asset would come

2798
01:37:33,617 --> 01:37:35,617
back to

2799
01:37:36,617 --> 01:37:38,617
the city

2800
01:37:38,617 --> 01:37:39,617
and there would be an enforcement mechanism

2801
01:37:39,617 --> 01:37:41,617
at

2802
01:37:41,617 --> 01:37:42,617
the cost of the nonprofit if we had

2803
01:37:42,617 --> 01:37:44,617
to go

2804
01:37:45,617 --> 01:37:47,617
to court

2805
01:37:50,617 --> 01:37:51,617
to enforce that right of reverter clause.

2806
01:37:51,617 --> 01:37:53,617
>> in closing, what I

2807
01:37:53,617 --> 01:37:54,617
will add before I turn it back over

2808
01:37:54,617 --> 01:37:55,617
to you is that

2809
01:37:55,617 --> 01:37:57,617
we do have bob hear from the hometown

2810
01:37:57,617 --> 01:37:57,817
hero project. So if you would like

2811
01:37:57,817 --> 01:37:59,617
for

2812
01:37:59,617 --> 01:38:00,617
him to offer any public comment, he

2813
01:38:00,617 --> 01:38:02,617
is available. And

2814
01:38:03,617 --> 01:38:06,617
I will turn it over to you.

2815
01:38:06,617 --> 01:38:09,617
>> great. Thank you so much.

2816
01:38:09,617 --> 01:38:12,617
I will absolutely invite him

2817
01:38:12,617 --> 01:38:14,617
to speak during public

2818
01:38:14,617 --> 01:38:15,617
comment, but let's go ahead and start

2819
01:38:15,617 --> 01:38:17,617
with council comments.

2820
01:38:17,617 --> 01:38:18,617
does anyone have any questions for staff

2821
01:38:18,617 --> 01:38:20,617
or any items

2822
01:38:21,617 --> 01:38:23,617
that were discussed?

2823
01:38:24,617 --> 01:38:27,617
I see a couple leaning forward.

2824
01:38:27,617 --> 01:38:29,617
>> hi. Good evening.

2825
01:38:29,617 --> 01:38:33,617
I just want to speak on this matter.

2826
01:38:33,617 --> 01:38:35,617
full disclosure.

2827
01:38:36,617 --> 01:38:38,617
I am an honorary member of the

2828
01:38:38,617 --> 01:38:39,617
joe dimaggio hometown hero project

2829
01:38:39,617 --> 01:38:41,617
.

2830
01:38:42,617 --> 01:38:43,617
I actually worked with attorney

2831
01:38:43,617 --> 01:38:45,617
to create the 501(c)(3) paperwork

2832
01:38:45,617 --> 01:38:47,617
and

2833
01:38:48,617 --> 01:38:51,170
bylaws for the organization.

2834
01:38:51,617 --> 01:38:53,617
so

2835
01:38:53,617 --> 01:38:54,617
just want to let you know I have some

2836
01:38:54,617 --> 01:38:54,817
affiliation, although it is honorary

2837
01:38:54,817 --> 01:38:56,617
with

2838
01:38:56,617 --> 01:39:00,217
that organization. So with that said

2839
01:39:00,617 --> 01:39:02,617
,

2840
01:39:02,617 --> 01:39:03,617
I just want to say that this boat

2841
01:39:03,617 --> 01:39:05,617
is more than just a boat. It

2842
01:39:05,617 --> 01:39:06,617
means something very deeply to me. This

2843
01:39:06,617 --> 01:39:08,617
boat is part of

2844
01:39:08,617 --> 01:39:09,617
my family. Joe dimaggio is my cousin.

2845
01:39:09,617 --> 01:39:12,617
I have many cousins here

2846
01:39:12,617 --> 01:39:12,883
. And this boat was under the care of my

2847
01:39:12,883 --> 01:39:14,617
grandfather,

2848
01:39:14,617 --> 01:39:18,617
my uncle, and my great uncle, mike

2849
01:39:18,617 --> 01:39:20,617
dimaggio

2850
01:39:21,617 --> 01:39:23,617
. So I really

2851
01:39:23,617 --> 01:39:24,617
do care about what happens to this boat.

2852
01:39:24,617 --> 01:39:27,170
it is a very

2853
01:39:27,617 --> 01:39:30,617
special treasure to me and

2854
01:39:30,617 --> 01:39:33,170
to my entire family

2855
01:39:36,617 --> 01:39:36,817
. And I don't want to go without saying

2856
01:39:36,817 --> 01:39:38,617
that

2857
01:39:38,617 --> 01:39:39,617
this boat would not be what it is

2858
01:39:39,617 --> 01:39:41,617
today if it wasn't for the hard work and

2859
01:39:41,617 --> 01:39:42,617
dedication of so many people that

2860
01:39:42,617 --> 01:39:44,617
came together from

2861
01:39:44,617 --> 01:39:45,617
the sons of italy, from the martinez

2862
01:39:45,617 --> 01:39:47,617
carpenters union .

2863
01:39:48,617 --> 01:39:52,217
so many people worked for years

2864
01:39:54,617 --> 01:39:56,617
on this boat. Weekends. Blood, sweat,

2865
01:39:56,617 --> 01:39:57,617
and tears. A lot of these names I

2866
01:39:57,617 --> 01:39:59,617
feel like people

2867
01:40:00,617 --> 01:40:03,617
should know who worked on this boat.

2868
01:40:03,617 --> 01:40:05,617
this

2869
01:40:05,617 --> 01:40:06,617
boat did not just appear one day and

2870
01:40:06,617 --> 01:40:09,617
we just had a boat. After

2871
01:40:09,617 --> 01:40:11,617
it was

2872
01:40:11,617 --> 01:40:12,617
donated to the city years ago, it

2873
01:40:12,617 --> 01:40:15,617
was outside in the elements and

2874
01:40:15,617 --> 01:40:18,617
completely decrepit. The work to

2875
01:40:18,617 --> 01:40:21,170
restore this boat --

2876
01:40:21,617 --> 01:40:23,617
truly phenomenal. Bob

2877
01:40:23,617 --> 01:40:24,617
can talk to the amount of time that

2878
01:40:24,617 --> 01:40:27,617
people spent on this boat.

2879
01:40:30,617 --> 01:40:31,617
we

2880
01:40:31,617 --> 01:40:33,617
have others including don curtis,

2881
01:40:33,617 --> 01:40:35,617
who was the restoration expert who helped

2882
01:40:35,617 --> 01:40:36,617
derive this project forward. And all

2883
01:40:36,617 --> 01:40:38,617
the fundraising

2884
01:40:39,617 --> 01:40:40,617
that happened.

2885
01:40:40,617 --> 01:40:42,617
rick was another key component. There

2886
01:40:42,617 --> 01:40:45,617
are so many names. I don't want to

2887
01:40:45,617 --> 01:40:47,617
read them , but I just want

2888
01:40:47,617 --> 01:40:48,617
to make sure it is clear to everyone

2889
01:40:48,617 --> 01:40:50,617
how important this boat is not

2890
01:40:50,617 --> 01:40:51,617
only to me and my family but to the

2891
01:40:51,617 --> 01:40:53,617
city. So with

2892
01:40:54,617 --> 01:40:57,617
that said , I do believe that

2893
01:40:57,617 --> 01:40:59,617
there should be

2894
01:40:59,617 --> 01:41:03,217
some organization that can take pair

2895
01:41:03,617 --> 01:41:05,617
-- care

2896
01:41:06,617 --> 01:41:08,617
and make sure the boat is showcased.

2897
01:41:08,617 --> 01:41:09,617
people should see this boat. It is

2898
01:41:09,617 --> 01:41:13,617
beautiful. So I do feel that there

2899
01:41:13,617 --> 01:41:14,617
is another

2900
01:41:14,617 --> 01:41:16,617
--the joe dimaggio hometown hero project

2901
01:41:16,617 --> 01:41:19,617
is a good organization to care

2902
01:41:19,617 --> 01:41:21,617
and preserve this boat.

2903
01:41:21,617 --> 01:41:25,617
however, I would not support this without

2904
01:41:25,617 --> 01:41:27,617
the clause that was mentioned

2905
01:41:27,617 --> 01:41:28,617
earlier called the right of reverter clause

2906
01:41:28,617 --> 01:41:29,617
because of

2907
01:41:29,617 --> 01:41:33,217
this organization were to ever be

2908
01:41:34,617 --> 01:41:35,617
dissolved, disbanded,

2909
01:41:35,617 --> 01:41:37,617
or for some reason has no funding

2910
01:41:37,617 --> 01:41:38,617
or just collapsed in some

2911
01:41:38,617 --> 01:41:39,617
way, that boat should never go into

2912
01:41:39,617 --> 01:41:43,217
the hands of a single individual.

2913
01:41:43,617 --> 01:41:44,617
that boat longs

2914
01:41:44,617 --> 01:41:46,617
to the citizens and residents of this

2915
01:41:46,617 --> 01:41:47,617
city and I feel that boat

2916
01:41:47,617 --> 01:41:49,617
should come back to the city and be

2917
01:41:49,617 --> 01:41:51,617
under our care.

2918
01:41:52,617 --> 01:41:53,617
so the only

2919
01:41:53,617 --> 01:41:55,617
way I would support that is to make

2920
01:41:55,617 --> 01:41:56,617
sure that would never happen.

2921
01:41:56,617 --> 01:41:58,617
that this boat would never be in the

2922
01:41:58,617 --> 01:42:01,170
hands of one individual.

2923
01:42:01,617 --> 01:42:04,617
so that is my opinion

2924
01:42:04,617 --> 01:42:07,170
. I will let my

2925
01:42:07,617 --> 01:42:09,617
other colleagues

2926
01:42:09,617 --> 01:42:09,933
take the microphone.

2927
01:42:09,933 --> 01:42:10,617
>> thank you

2928
01:42:10,617 --> 01:42:11,617
for the

2929
01:42:11,617 --> 01:42:13,617
wonderful report. I just want to piggyback on

2930
01:42:13,617 --> 01:42:16,170
what madame vice mayor

2931
01:42:16,617 --> 01:42:17,617
just said . This boat means so much to

2932
01:42:17,617 --> 01:42:19,617
this community. I remember working

2933
01:42:19,617 --> 01:42:21,617
with don curtis

2934
01:42:22,617 --> 01:42:25,617
, who taught me so much

2935
01:42:25,617 --> 01:42:28,617
about restoring boats . And he

2936
01:42:28,617 --> 01:42:32,217
would tease us all the time

2937
01:42:32,617 --> 01:42:34,617
. Working harder. I thought you were

2938
01:42:34,617 --> 01:42:35,617
a carpenter. I am a boat

2939
01:42:35,617 --> 01:42:37,617
builder. We had so much fun down there.

2940
01:42:37,617 --> 01:42:38,617
the camaraderie.

2941
01:42:38,617 --> 01:42:40,617
regard ridge driving us so hard to

2942
01:42:40,617 --> 01:42:42,617
get this

2943
01:42:43,617 --> 01:42:45,617
done.

2944
01:42:45,617 --> 01:42:46,617
the city and the mayor has promised me that

2945
01:42:46,617 --> 01:42:48,617
it

2946
01:42:49,617 --> 01:42:52,617
will be saved and restored. So I feel

2947
01:42:52,617 --> 01:42:53,617
it is incumbent upon us to

2948
01:42:53,617 --> 01:42:55,617
get it to somebody that is going to

2949
01:42:55,617 --> 01:42:57,617
take care

2950
01:42:57,617 --> 01:42:58,617
of it. My daughter and I would spend

2951
01:42:58,617 --> 01:43:00,617
our saturdays

2952
01:43:00,617 --> 01:43:04,817
down there just trying to help out

2953
01:43:07,617 --> 01:43:08,617
. And so I too feel

2954
01:43:08,617 --> 01:43:10,617
very connected to this boat. It is

2955
01:43:10,617 --> 01:43:11,617
a part of our community. And I'm

2956
01:43:11,617 --> 01:43:13,617
very interested in hearing how bob

2957
01:43:13,617 --> 01:43:14,617
and the hometown hero people are

2958
01:43:14,617 --> 01:43:16,617
going to display it because I think

2959
01:43:16,617 --> 01:43:18,617
that is the biggest

2960
01:43:18,617 --> 01:43:19,617
thing. To see it down there in the warehouse

2961
01:43:19,617 --> 01:43:21,617
basically

2962
01:43:22,617 --> 01:43:24,617
rotting away

2963
01:43:25,617 --> 01:43:27,617
is just devastating . And I

2964
01:43:27,617 --> 01:43:30,617
know we are not in the boat building business.

2965
01:43:30,617 --> 01:43:31,617
so all the things that lauren was

2966
01:43:31,617 --> 01:43:34,617
talking about. It is so important

2967
01:43:34,617 --> 01:43:37,617
that we get this boat

2968
01:43:37,617 --> 01:43:39,617
to somebody . We're

2969
01:43:40,617 --> 01:43:43,617
talking about what I said when I brought

2970
01:43:43,617 --> 01:43:46,170
this up. Heavy hitters.

2971
01:43:46,617 --> 01:43:49,170
these are bob cellini

2972
01:43:49,617 --> 01:43:51,617
and scott

2973
01:43:52,617 --> 01:43:54,617
--steve perry. These

2974
01:43:55,617 --> 01:43:57,617
people are

2975
01:43:58,617 --> 01:44:00,617
dedicated to the city. I

2976
01:44:00,617 --> 01:44:01,617
really want to put this in the hands of

2977
01:44:01,617 --> 01:44:02,617
people that have time, money,

2978
01:44:02,617 --> 01:44:04,617
and inclination and expertise to take

2979
01:44:04,617 --> 01:44:06,617
care of it.

2980
01:44:10,617 --> 01:44:11,617
I do want to hear

2981
01:44:11,617 --> 01:44:13,617
about how they're going to display

2982
01:44:13,617 --> 01:44:13,900
it. We have already had conversations

2983
01:44:13,900 --> 01:44:14,617
about getting

2984
01:44:14,617 --> 01:44:16,617
it to the giants and getting it out

2985
01:44:16,617 --> 01:44:17,617
there. So I know they

2986
01:44:17,617 --> 01:44:19,617
are making these plans and I cannot wait

2987
01:44:19,617 --> 01:44:21,617
to hear

2988
01:44:22,617 --> 01:44:22,950
the report.

2989
01:44:22,950 --> 01:44:24,950
>> thank you.

2990
01:44:25,617 --> 01:44:27,617
>> councilmember

2991
01:44:30,617 --> 01:44:30,850
ross, do you have any questions or comments?

2992
01:44:30,850 --> 01:44:31,617
>>

2993
01:44:31,617 --> 01:44:33,617
no. It

2994
01:44:33,617 --> 01:44:34,617
has been a labor of love . I cannot add

2995
01:44:34,617 --> 01:44:36,617
any more to

2996
01:44:36,617 --> 01:44:37,617
it. It deserves a better home than

2997
01:44:37,617 --> 01:44:40,170
it has now. I

2998
01:44:40,617 --> 01:44:42,617
wholeheartedly endorse

2999
01:44:43,617 --> 01:44:45,617
support.

3000
01:44:45,617 --> 01:44:46,617
>> thank you. Council member malhi.

3001
01:44:46,617 --> 01:44:48,617
>>

3002
01:44:49,617 --> 01:44:52,617
yes. So I too just want to

3003
01:44:52,617 --> 01:44:56,817
echo the comments here. I support what

3004
01:45:00,617 --> 01:45:01,617
councilwoman mckillop says. I think

3005
01:45:01,617 --> 01:45:03,617
it's only appropriate that we make sure

3006
01:45:03,617 --> 01:45:04,617
we do have a clause in there that

3007
01:45:04,617 --> 01:45:05,617
just says years from now for

3008
01:45:05,617 --> 01:45:07,617
whatever reason the circumstances

3009
01:45:07,617 --> 01:45:11,217
change --which hopefully they won't, but

3010
01:45:16,617 --> 01:45:16,900
in the event that they do, we will

3011
01:45:16,900 --> 01:45:18,617
ensure it does

3012
01:45:18,617 --> 01:45:19,617
not go into the hands of a private individual.

3013
01:45:19,617 --> 01:45:22,617
that it does revert back to

3014
01:45:22,617 --> 01:45:22,900
the control of the city. Up to a future council

3015
01:45:22,900 --> 01:45:24,617
to decide how

3016
01:45:24,617 --> 01:45:25,617
best to handle that at that point. But

3017
01:45:25,617 --> 01:45:28,617
I would really love to hear from

3018
01:45:28,617 --> 01:45:30,617
mr. Cellini . I may

3019
01:45:30,617 --> 01:45:33,617
have additional questions after that.

3020
01:45:34,617 --> 01:45:35,617
>> thank you

3021
01:45:35,617 --> 01:45:37,617
very much for everyone's comments.

3022
01:45:37,617 --> 01:45:39,617
thank you for

3023
01:45:40,617 --> 01:45:42,617
the reminder

3024
01:45:46,617 --> 01:45:47,617
, vice mayor mckillop, about

3025
01:45:47,617 --> 01:45:49,617
your concern. I think that is something

3026
01:45:49,617 --> 01:45:49,883
that I had heard a couple times and

3027
01:45:49,883 --> 01:45:51,883
I would like

3028
01:45:52,617 --> 01:45:52,883
to reiterate in the hands of a single person.

3029
01:45:52,883 --> 01:45:54,883
I think the

3030
01:45:55,617 --> 01:45:57,617
part of that that

3031
01:45:57,617 --> 01:45:58,617
resonated with me is less of the person that

3032
01:45:58,617 --> 01:46:00,617
is holding it and more that

3033
01:46:00,617 --> 01:46:03,617
there would be one person that would profit

3034
01:46:03,617 --> 01:46:04,617
from the acquisition or sale of said

3035
01:46:04,617 --> 01:46:06,617
boat. So from

3036
01:46:07,617 --> 01:46:10,617
my perspective it is almost

3037
01:46:13,617 --> 01:46:14,617
less who

3038
01:46:14,617 --> 01:46:16,617
has it and more that someone sold

3039
01:46:16,617 --> 01:46:16,883
it. So from my perspective, giving it

3040
01:46:16,883 --> 01:46:18,617
to the hometown

3041
01:46:18,617 --> 01:46:19,617
hero project is a way to ensure that

3042
01:46:19,617 --> 01:46:20,617
loving hands continue to

3043
01:46:20,617 --> 01:46:22,617
maintain it. We can hopefully see

3044
01:46:22,617 --> 01:46:25,617
that it gets to a home where

3045
01:46:25,617 --> 01:46:28,617
there is an environment where

3046
01:46:28,617 --> 01:46:29,617
the

3047
01:46:29,617 --> 01:46:32,617
temperature is controlled. More of

3048
01:46:32,617 --> 01:46:33,617
a museum appropriate

3049
01:46:33,617 --> 01:46:35,617
space rather than where it is likely

3050
01:46:35,617 --> 01:46:37,617
being held

3051
01:46:37,617 --> 01:46:38,617
right now as an interim measure. I

3052
01:46:38,617 --> 01:46:40,617
thank you

3053
01:46:41,617 --> 01:46:42,617
very much for that reminder.

3054
01:46:42,617 --> 01:46:43,617
since today we are not taking action

3055
01:46:43,617 --> 01:46:46,617
and were just providing guidance, I

3056
01:46:46,617 --> 01:46:47,617
think it seems pretty unanimous from

3057
01:46:47,617 --> 01:46:48,617
all of the

3058
01:46:48,617 --> 01:46:50,617
council that that is their interest.

3059
01:46:50,617 --> 01:46:52,617
so with

3060
01:46:52,617 --> 01:46:53,617
that said, I would like to open this up

3061
01:46:53,617 --> 01:46:55,617
to public comment. Clerk, can you

3062
01:46:55,617 --> 01:46:56,617
let me know. Are there any speaker

3063
01:46:56,617 --> 01:46:58,617
cards

3064
01:46:58,617 --> 01:46:58,867
or anyone queued up to speak?

3065
01:46:58,867 --> 01:47:00,617
>> I

3066
01:47:00,617 --> 01:47:04,817
have no speaker cards. We have one

3067
01:47:05,617 --> 01:47:07,617
--

3068
01:47:08,617 --> 01:47:10,617
>> [ inaudible ]

3069
01:47:11,617 --> 01:47:13,617
>> okay.

3070
01:47:16,617 --> 01:47:17,617
>> hold on, kristin. I cannot hear

3071
01:47:17,617 --> 01:47:18,117
you.

3072
01:47:18,117 --> 01:47:19,617
make sure you are at the microphone.

3073
01:47:19,617 --> 01:47:23,217
>> this is actually tangential to this.

3074
01:47:26,617 --> 01:47:27,617
when

3075
01:47:27,617 --> 01:47:29,617
the joltin' joe was brought out of storage,

3076
01:47:29,617 --> 01:47:32,617
it was at the time

3077
01:47:32,617 --> 01:47:35,617
when this whole thing was

3078
01:47:35,617 --> 01:47:37,617
going on.

3079
01:47:37,617 --> 01:47:38,617
and lorraine and her friend wrote an

3080
01:47:38,617 --> 01:47:39,617
article that

3081
01:47:39,617 --> 01:47:41,617
lorraine I discovered it in storage.

3082
01:47:41,617 --> 01:47:44,170
people came many times

3083
01:47:44,617 --> 01:47:47,617
asking, where is it? Let's get

3084
01:47:47,617 --> 01:47:49,617
it out.

3085
01:47:52,617 --> 01:47:53,617
but you were not in the business of taking

3086
01:47:53,617 --> 01:47:54,617
care of boats,

3087
01:47:54,617 --> 01:47:56,617
but you are in the business of acknowledging

3088
01:47:56,617 --> 01:47:59,617
your history in your general and specific

3089
01:47:59,617 --> 01:48:01,617
plans. And I just want to say

3090
01:48:01,617 --> 01:48:02,617
fame is not necessarily historic significance

3091
01:48:02,617 --> 01:48:04,617
. Ignorant

3092
01:48:05,617 --> 01:48:07,617
--historic

3093
01:48:07,617 --> 01:48:08,617
significance are things that represent

3094
01:48:08,617 --> 01:48:10,617
the broad

3095
01:48:11,617 --> 01:48:14,170
important occurrences that happen

3096
01:48:14,617 --> 01:48:17,617
to humanity in a local level

3097
01:48:17,617 --> 01:48:18,617
or a larger level. And

3098
01:48:18,617 --> 01:48:20,617
joe dimaggio is just the standout

3099
01:48:20,617 --> 01:48:22,617
tree

3100
01:48:22,617 --> 01:48:23,617
in these italians that came here and

3101
01:48:23,617 --> 01:48:25,617
fished

3102
01:48:26,617 --> 01:48:29,617
and did all of that.

3103
01:48:32,617 --> 01:48:34,617
and I believe that boat was taken out

3104
01:48:34,617 --> 01:48:35,617
to get the italian I off of what the

3105
01:48:35,617 --> 01:48:38,170
historic society at the

3106
01:48:38,617 --> 01:48:39,617
time, the county, and the city

3107
01:48:39,617 --> 01:48:41,617
would say there is nothing historic about

3108
01:48:41,617 --> 01:48:43,617
that neighborhood

3109
01:48:47,617 --> 01:48:48,617
. So

3110
01:48:48,617 --> 01:48:50,617
you get two for one. You get the boat

3111
01:48:50,617 --> 01:48:51,617
and the history in the national

3112
01:48:51,617 --> 01:48:53,617
register. Great for you. But don't

3113
01:48:53,617 --> 01:48:54,617
forget you are in the business.

3114
01:48:54,617 --> 01:48:55,617
registering the true history of this

3115
01:48:55,617 --> 01:48:58,617
town and not just famous people and

3116
01:48:58,617 --> 01:48:59,617
respecting that. There is a reason

3117
01:48:59,617 --> 01:49:01,617
,

3118
01:49:02,617 --> 01:49:04,617
malhi

3119
01:49:04,617 --> 01:49:05,617
--satinder malhi. There is a reason

3120
01:49:05,617 --> 01:49:06,617
why the state

3121
01:49:06,617 --> 01:49:08,617
office of historic preservation in every

3122
01:49:08,617 --> 01:49:10,617
single state.

3123
01:49:13,617 --> 01:49:14,617
and we're not just living in the past. We

3124
01:49:14,617 --> 01:49:16,617
live in a

3125
01:49:17,617 --> 01:49:17,933
continuum. Okay? These human beings

3126
01:49:17,933 --> 01:49:18,617
affected the built

3127
01:49:18,617 --> 01:49:20,617
environment and they affect the way

3128
01:49:20,617 --> 01:49:23,617
we live now. And we

3129
01:49:23,617 --> 01:49:26,617
need to remember what is supposed

3130
01:49:26,617 --> 01:49:29,617
to be remembered. This really had

3131
01:49:29,617 --> 01:49:31,617
nothing to do

3132
01:49:34,617 --> 01:49:35,617
about the boat. Except that, wow. You

3133
01:49:35,617 --> 01:49:41,617
are in the business of this town's history. Thank you.

3134
01:49:58,617 --> 01:49:59,617
and thank you mayor and council for considering

3135
01:49:59,617 --> 01:50:00,617
our request

3136
01:50:00,617 --> 01:50:02,617
for the transfer of guardianship, that is

3137
01:50:02,617 --> 01:50:03,617
how I want to state it. When I

3138
01:50:03,617 --> 01:50:05,617
was employed with the city and this

3139
01:50:05,617 --> 01:50:07,617
first came out we were mutually

3140
01:50:07,617 --> 01:50:11,617
in this together. With the hope that

3141
01:50:11,617 --> 01:50:14,617
someday it would end of

3142
01:50:16,617 --> 01:50:17,617
in a museum, things change, I understand

3143
01:50:17,617 --> 01:50:19,617
that. I think

3144
01:50:20,617 --> 01:50:23,617
the direction we are going now

3145
01:50:23,617 --> 01:50:26,617
and the availability that was offered

3146
01:50:26,617 --> 01:50:28,617
to us, we have a

3147
01:50:28,617 --> 01:50:32,217
opportunity to expand what the boat

3148
01:50:35,617 --> 01:50:36,617
means to martinez. Every time I have

3149
01:50:36,617 --> 01:50:38,617
taken it out to different events,

3150
01:50:38,617 --> 01:50:41,617
it brings a array of questions from

3151
01:50:41,617 --> 01:50:44,617
people all over the country.

3152
01:50:44,617 --> 01:50:47,617
I cannot agree more with

3153
01:50:47,617 --> 01:50:49,617
lawrence report, I

3154
01:50:50,617 --> 01:50:53,617
agree with the city attorney.

3155
01:50:53,617 --> 01:50:56,617
this is not a possession we are looking at.

3156
01:50:56,617 --> 01:50:58,617
I

3157
01:50:59,617 --> 01:51:01,617
made a obligation

3158
01:51:02,617 --> 01:51:04,617
to paulo,

3159
01:51:05,617 --> 01:51:07,617
I asked her

3160
01:51:07,617 --> 01:51:08,617
when we first conceived of this opportunity to

3161
01:51:08,617 --> 01:51:11,617
transfer so we can better promote

3162
01:51:11,617 --> 01:51:14,617
and maintain and display it. One thing

3163
01:51:14,617 --> 01:51:17,617
she said to me and I will

3164
01:51:17,617 --> 01:51:19,617
always honor that,

3165
01:51:20,617 --> 01:51:20,817
is that she does not wanted to fall

3166
01:51:20,817 --> 01:51:22,817
back in

3167
01:51:23,617 --> 01:51:23,817
the condition it was in when it was

3168
01:51:23,817 --> 01:51:25,817
exposed.

3169
01:51:26,617 --> 01:51:28,617
I do agree

3170
01:51:29,617 --> 01:51:32,617
that the city should have first right

3171
01:51:32,617 --> 01:51:34,617
of refusal but hopefully by that

3172
01:51:34,617 --> 01:51:35,617
time there may be a permanent place

3173
01:51:35,617 --> 01:51:37,617
to house

3174
01:51:37,617 --> 01:51:38,617
the boat. Our mission is a nonprofit

3175
01:51:38,617 --> 01:51:41,170
has not changed. We

3176
01:51:41,617 --> 01:51:43,617
have four goals,

3177
01:51:46,617 --> 01:51:47,617
they were promoting the italian fishing

3178
01:51:47,617 --> 01:51:48,617
community. My

3179
01:51:48,617 --> 01:51:50,617
grandfather was a part of it, his

3180
01:51:50,617 --> 01:51:53,617
name is on the plaque. Honoring

3181
01:51:53,617 --> 01:51:55,617
my father who is a immigrant,

3182
01:51:55,617 --> 01:51:59,617
taught me baseball, I met joe dimaggio

3183
01:51:59,617 --> 01:52:03,217
when I was eight years old.

3184
01:52:11,617 --> 01:52:14,170
in the future this

3185
01:52:14,617 --> 01:52:17,617
boat means what we can bring

3186
01:52:17,617 --> 01:52:19,617
to the next generation. Educating

3187
01:52:19,617 --> 01:52:22,617
them about the game, sportsmanship, and

3188
01:52:22,617 --> 01:52:25,617
the dedication to stay committed.

3189
01:52:26,617 --> 01:52:28,617
that being said,

3190
01:52:28,617 --> 01:52:29,617
if you have any other questions for

3191
01:52:29,617 --> 01:52:32,617
me I would love to

3192
01:52:32,617 --> 01:52:34,617
answer them.

3193
01:52:35,617 --> 01:52:37,617
>>

3194
01:52:38,617 --> 01:52:41,617
let's see, if it is okay,

3195
01:52:41,617 --> 01:52:43,617
let's

3196
01:52:43,617 --> 01:52:44,617
see if there is any other public comment

3197
01:52:44,617 --> 01:52:47,617
and then we will go back to counsel

3198
01:52:47,617 --> 01:52:49,617
for questions.

3199
01:52:50,617 --> 01:52:50,833
anybody else in council chambers who

3200
01:52:50,833 --> 01:52:52,833
would

3201
01:52:53,617 --> 01:52:55,617
like to speak?

3202
01:52:56,617 --> 01:52:58,617
>>

3203
01:52:59,617 --> 01:52:59,833
I see no hands, I will moved to zoom,

3204
01:52:59,833 --> 01:53:01,833
if you

3205
01:53:02,617 --> 01:53:04,617
would like to make

3206
01:53:04,617 --> 01:53:05,617
a public comment, please use the ray's

3207
01:53:05,617 --> 01:53:07,617
hand feature now.

3208
01:53:08,617 --> 01:53:08,850
I have no hands.

3209
01:53:08,850 --> 01:53:10,850
>>

3210
01:53:11,617 --> 01:53:15,217
let's kick it this back to

3211
01:53:16,617 --> 01:53:17,617
the councilmember. You can ask your

3212
01:53:17,617 --> 01:53:17,850
questions now.

3213
01:53:17,850 --> 01:53:19,617
>>

3214
01:53:19,617 --> 01:53:22,617
assistant city manager, you mentioned

3215
01:53:23,617 --> 01:53:23,817
the value of the boat, you said it

3216
01:53:23,817 --> 01:53:25,817
was

3217
01:53:26,617 --> 01:53:29,617
just under a quarter million.

3218
01:53:29,617 --> 01:53:31,617
I would

3219
01:53:32,617 --> 01:53:34,617
venture

3220
01:53:35,617 --> 01:53:37,617
to ensure something

3221
01:53:37,617 --> 01:53:39,617
like that, I do not know what the

3222
01:53:39,617 --> 01:53:40,617
cost is on that, I

3223
01:53:40,617 --> 01:53:43,617
do not know the state of your financials,

3224
01:53:43,617 --> 01:53:45,617
is that something you guys have the

3225
01:53:45,617 --> 01:53:45,850
wherewithal to cover?

3226
01:53:45,850 --> 01:53:47,850
>>

3227
01:53:48,617 --> 01:53:51,617
let me give you a quick

3228
01:53:51,617 --> 01:53:54,170
rundown on current financials,

3229
01:53:54,617 --> 01:53:56,617
right now our current

3230
01:53:56,617 --> 01:54:00,817
assets is just under 30,000 and we have

3231
01:54:02,617 --> 01:54:03,617
a little more than 11,000 in merchandise we

3232
01:54:03,617 --> 01:54:05,617
use for

3233
01:54:05,617 --> 01:54:08,617
fundraising. We have decent fundraisers

3234
01:54:09,617 --> 01:54:12,170
but again with guardianship

3235
01:54:12,617 --> 01:54:15,617
of the boat, we would have

3236
01:54:15,617 --> 01:54:17,617
broader opportunities and

3237
01:54:18,617 --> 01:54:21,170
we have future events

3238
01:54:24,617 --> 01:54:25,617
we can take

3239
01:54:25,617 --> 01:54:27,617
advantage of. As far as ensuring the

3240
01:54:27,617 --> 01:54:30,617
boat, I know when we

3241
01:54:30,617 --> 01:54:32,617
requested insurance,

3242
01:54:32,617 --> 01:54:36,617
a one-day event was $350. A one-day event

3243
01:54:36,617 --> 01:54:37,617
was more costly than

3244
01:54:37,617 --> 01:54:39,617
blanket coverage, there are specialty

3245
01:54:39,617 --> 01:54:41,617
insurance with

3246
01:54:42,617 --> 01:54:45,170
the ability to ensure

3247
01:54:45,617 --> 01:54:49,217
classic boats and cars , vintage things.

3248
01:54:51,617 --> 01:54:53,617
we do not

3249
01:54:53,617 --> 01:54:54,617
have that but I believe with our continuous fundraising,

3250
01:54:54,617 --> 01:54:55,617
and

3251
01:54:55,617 --> 01:54:59,617
the councilmember notes we have yearly fundraisers,

3252
01:54:59,617 --> 01:55:03,217
also with the transfer of guardianship,

3253
01:55:03,617 --> 01:55:07,217
it enables us to bring in

3254
01:55:07,617 --> 01:55:09,617
your corporate sponsors. That is part

3255
01:55:09,617 --> 01:55:11,617
of our responsibility, to maintain that because

3256
01:55:11,617 --> 01:55:13,617
we will have to show that proof each and

3257
01:55:13,617 --> 01:55:15,617
every year, I am sure that is part

3258
01:55:15,617 --> 01:55:17,617
of the agreement.

3259
01:55:17,617 --> 01:55:21,617
it is no different than what you do with

3260
01:55:21,617 --> 01:55:24,617
main street and the chamber.

3261
01:55:24,617 --> 01:55:24,850
there is accountability.

3262
01:55:24,850 --> 01:55:26,850
>>

3263
01:55:27,617 --> 01:55:28,617
was there anything in

3264
01:55:28,617 --> 01:55:30,617
the presentation that concerned you

3265
01:55:30,617 --> 01:55:32,617
as far as the stipulations

3266
01:55:32,617 --> 01:55:33,617
that are being talked about here as

3267
01:55:33,617 --> 01:55:35,617
part of

3268
01:55:36,617 --> 01:55:36,850
a transfer?

3269
01:55:36,850 --> 01:55:38,850
>>

3270
01:55:39,617 --> 01:55:42,170
note there is not,

3271
01:55:42,617 --> 01:55:45,617
my only concern is that,

3272
01:55:45,617 --> 01:55:48,170
when it is transferred

3273
01:55:48,617 --> 01:55:50,617
and I transport it to a event,

3274
01:55:50,617 --> 01:55:53,617
making sure that the city is not liable

3275
01:55:53,617 --> 01:55:54,617
for anything that may possibly happen

3276
01:55:54,617 --> 01:55:56,617
so

3277
01:55:57,617 --> 01:56:00,617
how we separate those two

3278
01:56:00,617 --> 01:56:02,617
entities,

3279
01:56:02,617 --> 01:56:03,617
that would be a legal question I cannot

3280
01:56:03,617 --> 01:56:04,617
answer but that would

3281
01:56:04,617 --> 01:56:06,617
be my concern so that the city is

3282
01:56:06,617 --> 01:56:09,170
in no way liable.

3283
01:56:11,617 --> 01:56:12,617
>> I have nothing further to add other

3284
01:56:12,617 --> 01:56:14,617
than to reiterate

3285
01:56:15,617 --> 01:56:16,617
what I said earlier. I appreciate

3286
01:56:16,617 --> 01:56:18,617
what the mayor said as well, I think

3287
01:56:18,617 --> 01:56:21,617
it is a valid point.

3288
01:56:21,617 --> 01:56:23,617
hopefully back gives

3289
01:56:24,617 --> 01:56:26,617
some clarity

3290
01:56:27,617 --> 01:56:29,617
to you

3291
01:56:32,617 --> 01:56:33,617
madam assistant city manager in terms of

3292
01:56:33,617 --> 01:56:35,617
where I am coming from

3293
01:56:35,617 --> 01:56:36,617
on this. I value the rich history,

3294
01:56:36,617 --> 01:56:39,617
those of us that had

3295
01:56:39,617 --> 01:56:41,617
the good fortune

3296
01:56:41,617 --> 01:56:45,617
of growing up here, we know well how special

3297
01:56:45,617 --> 01:56:47,617
mister dimaggio is

3298
01:56:48,617 --> 01:56:51,617
and was and certainly the family

3299
01:56:51,617 --> 01:56:54,617
and his rich legacy and

3300
01:56:54,617 --> 01:56:57,617
we want to see that

3301
01:56:57,617 --> 01:57:00,617
continue to endure and sustain

3302
01:57:01,617 --> 01:57:02,617
for future generations to come. I

3303
01:57:02,617 --> 01:57:03,617
really appreciate the partnership

3304
01:57:03,617 --> 01:57:05,617
here and hopefully I

3305
01:57:05,617 --> 01:57:06,617
think we can get this done in short

3306
01:57:06,617 --> 01:57:06,850
order.

3307
01:57:06,850 --> 01:57:08,850
>>

3308
01:57:11,617 --> 01:57:12,617
bob, can you talk about your plans

3309
01:57:12,617 --> 01:57:12,883
for displaying the boat?

3310
01:57:12,883 --> 01:57:14,617
>> we

3311
01:57:14,617 --> 01:57:17,617
were given a gracious offer from bills

3312
01:57:17,617 --> 01:57:21,617
hardware to display it in the a's

3313
01:57:21,617 --> 01:57:23,617
truck box

3314
01:57:23,617 --> 01:57:24,617
where the original ace hardware was.

3315
01:57:24,617 --> 01:57:26,617
it will allow

3316
01:57:27,617 --> 01:57:30,617
the public to view it six days

3317
01:57:30,617 --> 01:57:33,617
a week. It is under

3318
01:57:35,617 --> 01:57:36,617
better constant conditions, it is

3319
01:57:36,617 --> 01:57:38,617
secure, it is

3320
01:57:39,617 --> 01:57:39,817
locked and I have accessibility for in

3321
01:57:39,817 --> 01:57:41,617
and

3322
01:57:41,617 --> 01:57:42,617
out privileges but I want to be specific, I

3323
01:57:42,617 --> 01:57:44,617
do not want

3324
01:57:44,617 --> 01:57:48,617
to take the boat out every weekend.

3325
01:57:48,617 --> 01:57:50,617
the boat is

3326
01:57:50,617 --> 01:57:51,617
between the agreement with the city

3327
01:57:51,617 --> 01:57:53,617
events, as president,

3328
01:57:54,617 --> 01:57:56,617
my

3329
01:58:00,617 --> 01:58:00,933
requirement is it needs to be displayed for

3330
01:58:00,933 --> 01:58:01,617
special occasions

3331
01:58:01,617 --> 01:58:03,617
and circumstances that will give it

3332
01:58:03,617 --> 01:58:06,170
the biggest benefit bringing

3333
01:58:06,617 --> 01:58:09,617
it back to the city of martinez

3334
01:58:09,617 --> 01:58:12,617
and its citizens, that is

3335
01:58:12,617 --> 01:58:15,617
what it is tied to.

3336
01:58:21,617 --> 01:58:23,617
>> bob

3337
01:58:24,617 --> 01:58:26,617
, I want to

3338
01:58:27,617 --> 01:58:30,617
thank you and commend you for all

3339
01:58:30,617 --> 01:58:32,617
of your

3340
01:58:32,617 --> 01:58:33,617
efforts, your heart and soul is in

3341
01:58:33,617 --> 01:58:35,617
this boat,

3342
01:58:36,617 --> 01:58:36,817
I truly believe that, I trust that

3343
01:58:36,817 --> 01:58:38,817
you

3344
01:58:39,617 --> 01:58:41,617
and the dimaggio

3345
01:58:42,617 --> 01:58:44,617
hometown hero

3346
01:58:45,617 --> 01:58:47,617
project will be great guardians

3347
01:58:47,617 --> 01:58:48,617
of this boat. It kills me to know it has

3348
01:58:48,617 --> 01:58:49,617
been sitting in the

3349
01:58:49,617 --> 01:58:51,617
kenny building in the heat for all

3350
01:58:51,617 --> 01:58:54,617
of these years after restoration

3351
01:58:54,617 --> 01:58:56,617
and

3352
01:59:00,617 --> 01:59:02,617
it is successful at the amateur boat

3353
01:59:02,617 --> 01:59:03,617
shows, it is something that should be

3354
01:59:03,617 --> 01:59:03,833
showcased, it is something people

3355
01:59:03,833 --> 01:59:05,617
should

3356
01:59:05,617 --> 01:59:06,617
see and understand. The fact that

3357
01:59:06,617 --> 01:59:08,617
you will take

3358
01:59:11,617 --> 01:59:12,117
the boat into the broader community

3359
01:59:12,117 --> 01:59:12,617
and educate people and teach them

3360
01:59:12,617 --> 01:59:15,170
about the history of

3361
01:59:15,617 --> 01:59:17,617
martinez, and

3362
01:59:20,617 --> 01:59:21,617
joe dimaggio, baseball, how it became

3363
01:59:21,617 --> 01:59:23,617
his boat, all of the

3364
01:59:23,617 --> 01:59:24,617
history. That warms my heart to know that.

3365
01:59:24,617 --> 01:59:26,617
so I

3366
01:59:27,617 --> 01:59:29,617
am grateful that

3367
01:59:30,617 --> 01:59:33,617
the organization has stood up and offered

3368
01:59:33,617 --> 01:59:36,617
to do this enormous task. It is

3369
01:59:36,617 --> 01:59:39,617
a lot. I am thankful to bill

3370
01:59:39,617 --> 01:59:42,170
and ace hardware for

3371
01:59:42,617 --> 01:59:44,617
their contribution to house

3372
01:59:44,617 --> 01:59:45,617
it in a environment that is conducive

3373
01:59:45,617 --> 01:59:48,617
to saving the wood and

3374
01:59:48,617 --> 01:59:51,617
making sure it is not

3375
01:59:51,617 --> 01:59:53,617
adversely impacted

3376
01:59:53,617 --> 01:59:54,617
from all of the temperature variations

3377
01:59:54,617 --> 01:59:57,617
and things like that. We want it

3378
01:59:57,617 --> 02:00:00,617
to be water where the

3379
02:00:03,617 --> 02:00:04,617
and not sink. We need to keep the

3380
02:00:04,617 --> 02:00:06,617
boat in the best condition possible

3381
02:00:06,617 --> 02:00:06,817
so that is great. I want to also shout

3382
02:00:06,817 --> 02:00:08,817
out

3383
02:00:09,617 --> 02:00:11,617
retired councilmember delaney

3384
02:00:12,617 --> 02:00:13,617
and

3385
02:00:13,617 --> 02:00:15,617
her efforts over the years to promote

3386
02:00:15,617 --> 02:00:17,617
this organization and all she

3387
02:00:17,617 --> 02:00:21,217
did to lead the organization forward

3388
02:00:21,617 --> 02:00:24,617
so I do appreciate all that she

3389
02:00:24,617 --> 02:00:27,617
has done and she was there for many years

3390
02:00:27,617 --> 02:00:30,617
and I believe even now she is there.

3391
02:00:30,617 --> 02:00:33,617
a key stakeholder in this organization.

3392
02:00:33,617 --> 02:00:35,617
that is it.

3393
02:00:36,617 --> 02:00:36,850
thank you.

3394
02:00:36,850 --> 02:00:38,850
>>

3395
02:00:39,617 --> 02:00:41,617
thank you all for the comments and

3396
02:00:41,617 --> 02:00:43,617
I appreciate staff moving forward

3397
02:00:43,617 --> 02:00:45,617
on this. Assistant

3398
02:00:45,617 --> 02:00:49,817
city manager, do you need additional instruction

3399
02:00:52,500 --> 02:00:52,983
or is it clear the

3400
02:00:52,983 --> 02:00:53,617
direction by counsel this evening?

3401
02:00:53,617 --> 02:00:55,617
>> it is clear, thank you. >> thank

3402
02:00:55,617 --> 02:00:57,617
you so much.

3403
02:00:57,617 --> 02:01:01,617
in that case we will move on to the

3404
02:01:01,617 --> 02:01:01,867
next item.

3405
02:01:01,867 --> 02:01:03,867
>> I can

3406
02:01:04,617 --> 02:01:06,617
propose,

3407
02:01:06,617 --> 02:01:07,617
it is not a clock and we can use a

3408
02:01:07,617 --> 02:01:07,850
short break.

3409
02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:09,850
>>

3410
02:01:10,617 --> 02:01:12,617
all right.

3411
02:01:19,617 --> 02:01:20,617
normally

3412
02:01:20,617 --> 02:01:22,617
I do not take breaks until 10:00 but

3413
02:01:22,617 --> 02:01:25,617
I am happy to give a

3414
02:01:25,617 --> 02:01:27,617
quick one. We can come back at

3415
02:01:27,617 --> 02:01:27,950
915 and we will start then.

3416
02:01:27,950 --> 02:01:29,950
>> thank you.

3417
02:06:04,617 --> 02:06:06,617
>>

3418
02:06:07,617 --> 02:06:10,617
it is 9:15 pm, if everybody can take

3419
02:06:10,617 --> 02:06:12,617
their seats. If

3420
02:06:13,617 --> 02:06:16,170
you can hear me.

3421
02:07:49,617 --> 02:07:51,617
>>

3422
02:07:52,617 --> 02:07:54,617
if I can please have

3423
02:07:54,617 --> 02:07:58,217
city councilmembers returned to the dais.

3424
02:08:37,617 --> 02:08:38,617
>> it

3425
02:08:38,617 --> 02:08:40,617
is hard to take a five-minute break,

3426
02:08:40,617 --> 02:08:40,850
I know. Thank you.

3427
02:08:40,850 --> 02:08:42,850
>>

3428
02:08:43,617 --> 02:08:46,170
please note the microphones

3429
02:08:46,617 --> 02:08:50,217
are hot so mind your words.

3430
02:08:52,617 --> 02:08:54,617
>>

3431
02:08:56,617 --> 02:08:57,617
all

3432
02:08:57,617 --> 02:08:59,617
right, we are going to move forward

3433
02:08:59,617 --> 02:09:00,617
,

3434
02:09:00,617 --> 02:09:02,617
actually, we will take the general

3435
02:09:02,617 --> 02:09:04,617
business

3436
02:09:05,617 --> 02:09:08,617
items backwards. We will move

3437
02:09:08,617 --> 02:09:10,617
forward on item 11.

3438
02:09:11,617 --> 02:09:12,100
a motion directing staff to

3439
02:09:12,100 --> 02:09:14,500
coordinate with community partners

3440
02:09:16,617 --> 02:09:17,617
--federal environmental and justice

3441
02:09:17,617 --> 02:09:19,617
community change

3442
02:09:20,617 --> 02:09:22,617
grant. Will this

3443
02:09:22,617 --> 02:09:22,850
be led by the city manager tonight?

3444
02:09:22,850 --> 02:09:24,850
>>

3445
02:09:32,617 --> 02:09:33,617
they will, I will be efficient

3446
02:09:33,617 --> 02:09:35,617
on this one. For a number of reasons,

3447
02:09:35,617 --> 02:09:37,617
one of which is the fact that

3448
02:09:37,617 --> 02:09:40,617
it hurts to speak. I am sorry I am not

3449
02:09:40,617 --> 02:09:41,617
there in person but I am seriously

3450
02:09:41,617 --> 02:09:42,617
under the weather now so

3451
02:09:42,617 --> 02:09:44,617
apologies for not being there. If

3452
02:09:44,617 --> 02:09:47,617
we can please advance josh

3453
02:09:47,617 --> 02:09:49,617
burnham, david

3454
02:09:50,617 --> 02:09:53,170
marquez and bert --

3455
02:09:53,617 --> 02:09:54,617
as well. I want to mention

3456
02:09:54,617 --> 02:09:56,617
before I go into a brief introduction

3457
02:09:56,617 --> 02:09:58,617
on the

3458
02:09:59,617 --> 02:10:02,170
item, josh has a

3459
02:10:02,617 --> 02:10:05,617
hard stop at 9:30 pm. I appreciate you

3460
02:10:05,617 --> 02:10:08,617
moving this item up so we can

3461
02:10:08,617 --> 02:10:10,617
address it and have josh have the

3462
02:10:10,617 --> 02:10:13,617
opportunity to speak. Very briefly,

3463
02:10:14,617 --> 02:10:16,617
bringing this forward tonight to the city

3464
02:10:16,617 --> 02:10:20,217
council and public because this grant

3465
02:10:20,617 --> 02:10:22,617
opportunity for

3466
02:10:22,617 --> 02:10:25,617
the environmental and justice community

3467
02:10:26,617 --> 02:10:27,617
change

3468
02:10:27,617 --> 02:10:29,617
grant is both a significant undertaking in

3469
02:10:29,617 --> 02:10:31,617
front of us

3470
02:10:32,617 --> 02:10:33,617
but also a very

3471
02:10:33,617 --> 02:10:35,617
significant opportunity. It provides

3472
02:10:35,617 --> 02:10:37,617
up to 20 million

3473
02:10:38,617 --> 02:10:39,617
and importantly it does

3474
02:10:39,617 --> 02:10:42,617
not require any match whatsoever.

3475
02:10:42,617 --> 02:10:46,217
so that is a remarkable opportunity

3476
02:10:47,617 --> 02:10:48,617
in the

3477
02:10:48,617 --> 02:10:50,617
staff's evaluation in the last couple

3478
02:10:50,617 --> 02:10:51,617
of months. We determined

3479
02:10:51,617 --> 02:10:55,217
it is definitely worth going for.

3480
02:10:55,617 --> 02:10:56,617
if you remember back in october 2020

3481
02:10:56,617 --> 02:10:58,617
when

3482
02:10:59,617 --> 02:11:01,617
we came before the council to address

3483
02:11:01,617 --> 02:11:04,617
serious concerns at the fishing pier, we

3484
02:11:04,617 --> 02:11:09,417
saw it the council's approval to move forward

3485
02:11:11,617 --> 02:11:12,617
on the city's timeline

3486
02:11:12,617 --> 02:11:14,617
for a prop 68 grant which took six

3487
02:11:14,617 --> 02:11:17,617
months and allowed us to position ourselves

3488
02:11:17,617 --> 02:11:20,170
well for a future

3489
02:11:25,617 --> 02:11:26,617
earmark for the fishing pier even

3490
02:11:26,617 --> 02:11:28,617
though we did

3491
02:11:28,617 --> 02:11:29,617
not get the prop 68 grant. In terms of

3492
02:11:29,617 --> 02:11:30,617
this grant, you will

3493
02:11:30,617 --> 02:11:31,617
note in the staff report it does have

3494
02:11:31,617 --> 02:11:32,617
several requirements but it does afford

3495
02:11:32,617 --> 02:11:33,617
us

3496
02:11:33,617 --> 02:11:34,617
a potential opportunity to build on

3497
02:11:34,617 --> 02:11:37,617
what we had already done on the master

3498
02:11:37,617 --> 02:11:40,617
plan which was recently adopted and also

3499
02:11:40,617 --> 02:11:43,617
the anchor qa is doing for the city

3500
02:11:43,617 --> 02:11:44,617
on the seawall and breakwater redesign

3501
02:11:44,617 --> 02:11:46,617
and repair.

3502
02:11:47,617 --> 02:11:48,617
all of these

3503
02:11:48,617 --> 02:11:50,617
things coming together with components

3504
02:11:50,617 --> 02:11:53,170
that are already addressed

3505
02:11:53,617 --> 02:11:54,617
in the waterfront master plan

3506
02:11:54,617 --> 02:11:56,617
such as a education and event center

3507
02:11:56,617 --> 02:11:59,170
envisioned at the waterfront

3508
02:11:59,617 --> 02:12:02,170
and numerous other aspects,

3509
02:12:02,617 --> 02:12:05,617
make us potentially eligible for

3510
02:12:05,617 --> 02:12:07,617
a grant that I would say a year ago

3511
02:12:07,617 --> 02:12:11,617
did not make us a good candidate for.

3512
02:12:11,617 --> 02:12:14,617
I want to bring this forward

3513
02:12:14,617 --> 02:12:14,817
to you tonight for your consideration. I

3514
02:12:14,817 --> 02:12:16,617
have

3515
02:12:16,617 --> 02:12:17,617
a motion to definitely move forward

3516
02:12:17,617 --> 02:12:19,617
on this opportunity.

3517
02:12:20,617 --> 02:12:22,617
those

3518
02:12:23,617 --> 02:12:23,900
that advanced, they include josh burnham,

3519
02:12:23,900 --> 02:12:25,900
the consultant

3520
02:12:26,617 --> 02:12:28,617
with anchor

3521
02:12:28,617 --> 02:12:29,617
qa working on the design of the seawall

3522
02:12:29,617 --> 02:12:31,617
with a short footprint

3523
02:12:31,617 --> 02:12:35,217
and also the breakwater repair and

3524
02:12:35,617 --> 02:12:37,617
--is the proposed

3525
02:12:37,617 --> 02:12:40,170
community benefit organization partner.

3526
02:12:41,617 --> 02:12:44,617
the city needs to have a cbo

3527
02:12:44,617 --> 02:12:46,617
and we worked many

3528
02:12:46,617 --> 02:12:47,617
years with new leaf and the potential

3529
02:12:47,617 --> 02:12:49,617
they bring

3530
02:12:50,617 --> 02:12:50,800
as far as eco-literacy opportunities

3531
02:12:50,800 --> 02:12:52,617
at

3532
02:12:52,617 --> 02:12:53,617
the waterfront along with several

3533
02:12:53,617 --> 02:12:55,617
other

3534
02:12:56,617 --> 02:12:57,617
potential partners some

3535
02:12:57,617 --> 02:12:59,617
of which we already had the opportunity

3536
02:12:59,617 --> 02:13:02,170
to reach out to.

3537
02:13:02,617 --> 02:13:04,617
such as the environmental science department

3538
02:13:04,617 --> 02:13:05,617
at the college, they can play a role

3539
02:13:05,617 --> 02:13:07,617
in this

3540
02:13:08,617 --> 02:13:12,817
for education and work for us opportunity.

3541
02:13:20,617 --> 02:13:20,883
it is more than just asking for funding to fix

3542
02:13:20,883 --> 02:13:22,617
the seawall

3543
02:13:22,617 --> 02:13:23,617
and breakwater, we know it is 12 1/2

3544
02:13:23,617 --> 02:13:25,617
million. We

3545
02:13:25,617 --> 02:13:30,417
need to be very ambitious on this grant

3546
02:13:31,617 --> 02:13:32,617
and go for a lot of things to make

3547
02:13:32,617 --> 02:13:35,170
it more viable, attractive

3548
02:13:35,617 --> 02:13:37,617
and competitive.

3549
02:13:44,617 --> 02:13:45,617
just like all

3550
02:13:45,617 --> 02:13:47,617
federal grants, it is a competitive process.

3551
02:13:47,617 --> 02:13:47,833
first I want to turn it over to josh,

3552
02:13:47,833 --> 02:13:49,617
he has

3553
02:13:49,617 --> 02:13:50,617
a hard stop at 9:30 pm and he can

3554
02:13:50,617 --> 02:13:52,617
speak a little bit to some of

3555
02:13:52,617 --> 02:13:53,617
the work we are proposing at the waterfront

3556
02:13:53,617 --> 02:13:55,617
and the work he has done already

3557
02:13:55,617 --> 02:13:56,617
and what that may mean for the restoration,

3558
02:13:56,617 --> 02:13:58,617
a new look

3559
02:13:59,617 --> 02:14:02,617
at the waterfront they should be attractive

3560
02:14:02,617 --> 02:14:05,617
to the epa. Josh can walk

3561
02:14:05,617 --> 02:14:07,617
us through that.

3562
02:14:11,617 --> 02:14:13,617
>> thank you everybody. I came straight

3563
02:14:13,617 --> 02:14:14,617
from little league, sorry I am not

3564
02:14:14,617 --> 02:14:17,617
there. I think mike teed

3565
02:14:17,617 --> 02:14:19,617
it up well.

3566
02:14:20,617 --> 02:14:23,617
the way these committee action grants

3567
02:14:23,617 --> 02:14:23,817
are broad, they are competitive but

3568
02:14:23,817 --> 02:14:25,817
they do

3569
02:14:26,617 --> 02:14:28,617
before the opportunity for substantial

3570
02:14:28,617 --> 02:14:31,617
funding without a match which is a

3571
02:14:31,617 --> 02:14:32,617
valuable thing and the best way to

3572
02:14:32,617 --> 02:14:35,617
think about the grant is it

3573
02:14:35,617 --> 02:14:37,617
brings together

3574
02:14:38,617 --> 02:14:40,617
--in order to

3575
02:14:41,617 --> 02:14:44,617
be successful it requires us to ring

3576
02:14:44,617 --> 02:14:47,617
together multiple elements of the

3577
02:14:47,617 --> 02:14:49,617
waterfront master plan, not just

3578
02:14:49,617 --> 02:14:50,617
the infrastructure, to meet the test

3579
02:14:50,617 --> 02:14:52,617
of the grant it forces us

3580
02:14:52,617 --> 02:14:53,617
to look at community and if it's,

3581
02:14:53,617 --> 02:14:55,617
it causes us

3582
02:14:56,617 --> 02:14:59,170
to want to move

3583
02:14:59,617 --> 02:14:59,883
forward with something I have been

3584
02:14:59,883 --> 02:15:01,617
passionate about

3585
02:15:01,617 --> 02:15:02,617
for a while which is restoring the

3586
02:15:02,617 --> 02:15:05,617
ponds and reconnecting them to

3587
02:15:05,617 --> 02:15:07,617
the bay.

3588
02:15:08,617 --> 02:15:09,617
in terms of

3589
02:15:09,617 --> 02:15:11,617
habitat restoration, carbon see restoration,

3590
02:15:11,617 --> 02:15:13,617
treatment runoff and providing

3591
02:15:13,617 --> 02:15:15,617
climate resiliency to the marina and

3592
02:15:15,617 --> 02:15:18,170
waterfront by creating a

3593
02:15:19,617 --> 02:15:20,617
buffers zone for storm surges and

3594
02:15:20,617 --> 02:15:22,617
other things so adding in that singular

3595
02:15:22,617 --> 02:15:23,617
element of restoring the ponds to

3596
02:15:23,617 --> 02:15:26,617
their natural state provides a lot of

3597
02:15:26,617 --> 02:15:27,617
the benefits the grant is targeted

3598
02:15:27,617 --> 02:15:28,617
at

3599
02:15:28,617 --> 02:15:30,617
and I know alan will speak and I have not

3600
02:15:30,617 --> 02:15:33,170
met her yet but

3601
02:15:33,617 --> 02:15:34,617
obviously once we

3602
02:15:34,617 --> 02:15:36,617
do that we have the opportunity for

3603
02:15:36,617 --> 02:15:38,617
community education

3604
02:15:38,617 --> 02:15:39,617
, interpretation, wildlife viewing

3605
02:15:39,617 --> 02:15:40,617
and things that

3606
02:15:40,617 --> 02:15:42,617
bring a benefit to the community as

3607
02:15:42,617 --> 02:15:43,617
well once we have restored

3608
02:15:43,617 --> 02:15:47,217
the ponds. Obviously there are other

3609
02:15:48,617 --> 02:15:49,617
community benefits that

3610
02:15:49,617 --> 02:15:51,617
can be reached. The way to think about

3611
02:15:51,617 --> 02:15:54,170
it is, approaching this

3612
02:15:54,617 --> 02:15:57,617
grant is more than just

3613
02:15:57,617 --> 02:15:58,617
the seawall and

3614
02:15:58,617 --> 02:15:59,617
docks. It really is a opportunity

3615
02:15:59,617 --> 02:16:02,617
to advance several elements of the

3616
02:16:02,617 --> 02:16:06,617
waterfront land, maybe not the most commercial

3617
02:16:06,617 --> 02:16:09,617
uses but wants to focus on

3618
02:16:09,617 --> 02:16:11,617
habitat, climate ,

3619
02:16:12,617 --> 02:16:14,617
community --

3620
02:16:14,617 --> 02:16:18,617
when you think about it from a holistic's perspective,

3621
02:16:18,617 --> 02:16:19,617
restoring the

3622
02:16:19,617 --> 02:16:22,617
pawn system, reconnecting to the bay,

3623
02:16:22,617 --> 02:16:24,617
redoing the storm flows in the area,

3624
02:16:24,617 --> 02:16:27,617
repairing the seawall and all

3625
02:16:27,617 --> 02:16:29,617
of the

3626
02:16:32,617 --> 02:16:33,617
advantages to the community that can

3627
02:16:33,617 --> 02:16:34,617
be gained, I feel like

3628
02:16:34,617 --> 02:16:35,617
we have a good chance, obviously there

3629
02:16:35,617 --> 02:16:36,617
are no guarantees in a competitive

3630
02:16:36,617 --> 02:16:37,617
grant

3631
02:16:37,617 --> 02:16:39,617
space but we definitely feel like it

3632
02:16:39,617 --> 02:16:42,617
is worth a try. I will stop

3633
02:16:42,617 --> 02:16:42,933
there.

3634
02:16:42,933 --> 02:16:44,617
>> thank you

3635
02:16:44,617 --> 02:16:48,617
josh. Alan, you can say a few words.

3636
02:16:48,617 --> 02:16:50,617
>> thank you.

3637
02:16:51,617 --> 02:16:54,170
I am the executive

3638
02:16:54,617 --> 02:16:55,617
director, we

3639
02:16:55,617 --> 02:16:57,617
have been providing hands-on science, nature

3640
02:16:57,617 --> 02:16:59,617
, appreciation and

3641
02:17:00,617 --> 02:17:01,617
literacy education

3642
02:17:01,617 --> 02:17:05,217
in martinez and through the county.

3643
02:17:06,617 --> 02:17:08,617
we appreciate

3644
02:17:13,617 --> 02:17:15,617
the long-standing relationship with the city

3645
02:17:15,617 --> 02:17:16,150
of martinez and I think this is

3646
02:17:16,150 --> 02:17:17,617
a exciting opportunity for martinez.

3647
02:17:17,617 --> 02:17:18,617
we are committed to work with city

3648
02:17:18,617 --> 02:17:19,617
staff in applying for the

3649
02:17:19,617 --> 02:17:21,617
grant opportunity and working together

3650
02:17:21,617 --> 02:17:24,170
to implement a education

3651
02:17:24,617 --> 02:17:25,617
and learning event center that can

3652
02:17:25,617 --> 02:17:27,617
provide opportunities for education

3653
02:17:27,617 --> 02:17:30,170
and ecology and stewardship.

3654
02:17:30,617 --> 02:17:33,170
nature appreciation and other

3655
02:17:33,617 --> 02:17:35,617
topics josh touched on.

3656
02:17:35,617 --> 02:17:39,217
as well as potential career pathways

3657
02:17:39,617 --> 02:17:42,617
to revitalize the martinez waterfront.

3658
02:17:42,617 --> 02:17:45,617
we are happy to be

3659
02:17:45,617 --> 02:17:45,883
a part of it.

3660
02:17:45,883 --> 02:17:47,883
>> one

3661
02:17:48,617 --> 02:17:49,617
little-known

3662
02:17:49,617 --> 02:17:51,617
fact not everybody would know is that

3663
02:17:51,617 --> 02:17:54,170
over a decade ago,

3664
02:17:54,617 --> 02:17:55,617
ellen, myself, and

3665
02:17:55,617 --> 02:17:57,617
the rest of her team at new leaf and

3666
02:17:57,617 --> 02:17:59,617
our management analyst

3667
02:18:00,617 --> 02:18:03,617
gary rivers who was a intern at

3668
02:18:03,617 --> 02:18:06,617
the time, all worked together on a competitive

3669
02:18:06,617 --> 02:18:08,617
power cycle grant application

3670
02:18:08,617 --> 02:18:09,617
which was almost 100 thousand and

3671
02:18:09,617 --> 02:18:11,617
we got it.

3672
02:18:12,617 --> 02:18:14,617
so we

3673
02:18:14,617 --> 02:18:15,617
definitely have a good relationship working

3674
02:18:15,617 --> 02:18:17,617
on the grant.

3675
02:18:18,617 --> 02:18:20,617
bringing a lot of education and

3676
02:18:20,617 --> 02:18:21,617
information to the youth of martinez.

3677
02:18:21,617 --> 02:18:23,617
lastly

3678
02:18:23,617 --> 02:18:27,617
we have david marquez, you met him

3679
02:18:27,617 --> 02:18:28,617
before

3680
02:18:28,617 --> 02:18:30,617
from california consulting, he worked

3681
02:18:30,617 --> 02:18:35,417
on a prior grant application we did for

3682
02:18:39,617 --> 02:18:40,617
urban greening which we did not get

3683
02:18:40,617 --> 02:18:42,617
but recently he worked on this particular

3684
02:18:42,617 --> 02:18:45,170
grant for another agency.

3685
02:18:45,617 --> 02:18:47,617
brooke was on the

3686
02:18:47,617 --> 02:18:48,617
call earlier and had to drop off but we

3687
02:18:48,617 --> 02:18:49,617
have been working with him

3688
02:18:49,617 --> 02:18:51,617
on initial discussions on what the

3689
02:18:51,617 --> 02:18:54,617
grant would look like and

3690
02:18:55,617 --> 02:18:57,617
provided a lot of information, our

3691
02:18:57,617 --> 02:18:59,617
analyst steve

3692
02:19:00,617 --> 02:19:01,617
in the audience tonight has been coordinating

3693
02:19:01,617 --> 02:19:03,617
all of this effort and getting everything

3694
02:19:03,617 --> 02:19:05,617
set up

3695
02:19:06,617 --> 02:19:08,617
so we can start with ernest so david if

3696
02:19:08,617 --> 02:19:09,617
you would like to say a couple of

3697
02:19:09,617 --> 02:19:12,617
words about the grant and how

3698
02:19:12,617 --> 02:19:15,617
you foresee us moving forward.

3699
02:19:15,617 --> 02:19:17,617
you are muted.

3700
02:19:21,617 --> 02:19:24,617
>> I always do that, I am sorry.

3701
02:19:24,617 --> 02:19:26,617
quick note, I told

3702
02:19:26,617 --> 02:19:27,617
brooke to go to bed, she lives in

3703
02:19:27,617 --> 02:19:29,617
new york

3704
02:19:30,617 --> 02:19:33,617
, she has three young boys.

3705
02:19:36,617 --> 02:19:38,617
I told her when it

3706
02:19:38,617 --> 02:19:41,617
hit midnight, go and I can do this

3707
02:19:41,617 --> 02:19:42,617
but she will be the principal working on

3708
02:19:42,617 --> 02:19:44,617
this but I will

3709
02:19:44,617 --> 02:19:45,617
be working with her. We have worked

3710
02:19:45,617 --> 02:19:48,617
on this grant before, one

3711
02:19:50,617 --> 02:19:51,617
that was applied for in la county.

3712
02:19:51,617 --> 02:19:53,617
a different level

3713
02:19:54,617 --> 02:19:56,617
of capacity.

3714
02:19:57,617 --> 02:19:57,883
this grant is due in november but there

3715
02:19:57,883 --> 02:19:59,617
is a reason

3716
02:19:59,617 --> 02:20:00,617
why it is a november date, it does

3717
02:20:00,617 --> 02:20:03,170
require a lot of

3718
02:20:03,617 --> 02:20:03,817
work, a lot of investment in time, like

3719
02:20:03,817 --> 02:20:05,617
all

3720
02:20:05,617 --> 02:20:06,617
grants it will be competitive. What

3721
02:20:06,617 --> 02:20:08,617
I do want

3722
02:20:09,617 --> 02:20:12,617
to say is we went to the vetting process

3723
02:20:12,617 --> 02:20:14,617
to see and evaluate if we

3724
02:20:14,617 --> 02:20:15,617
can be competitive with this grant.

3725
02:20:15,617 --> 02:20:18,170
I know we have

3726
02:20:18,617 --> 02:20:18,883
had several discussions over several

3727
02:20:18,883 --> 02:20:20,883
meetings at

3728
02:20:21,617 --> 02:20:23,617
length looking into the six

3729
02:20:23,617 --> 02:20:24,617
requirements there and if we can meet

3730
02:20:24,617 --> 02:20:26,617
them so

3731
02:20:27,617 --> 02:20:29,617
I do believe

3732
02:20:30,617 --> 02:20:33,617
that it is not about eligibility.

3733
02:20:33,617 --> 02:20:35,617
it is

3734
02:20:36,617 --> 02:20:38,617
about need.

3735
02:20:39,617 --> 02:20:41,617
there are many cities in california

3736
02:20:41,617 --> 02:20:42,617
that are eligible and need this. We

3737
02:20:42,617 --> 02:20:45,170
can take a look

3738
02:20:45,617 --> 02:20:48,617
at the requirements and see

3739
02:20:48,617 --> 02:20:51,617
which activities we can engage in

3740
02:20:51,617 --> 02:20:55,217
that would demonstrate we are ready

3741
02:20:56,617 --> 02:21:00,817
and I am happy about the partnership.

3742
02:21:06,617 --> 02:21:06,817
I am trying to be objective but the

3743
02:21:06,817 --> 02:21:08,817
project

3744
02:21:09,617 --> 02:21:12,170
is really fascinating and

3745
02:21:15,617 --> 02:21:15,900
from my perspective I believe the epa

3746
02:21:15,900 --> 02:21:17,617
would like to

3747
02:21:17,617 --> 02:21:18,617
look at it. A lot of times with grants

3748
02:21:18,617 --> 02:21:21,170
they are a sickly

3749
02:21:21,617 --> 02:21:21,817
case studies, you get funded and they

3750
02:21:21,817 --> 02:21:23,617
want to

3751
02:21:23,617 --> 02:21:24,617
know how you do it and they want to evaluate

3752
02:21:24,617 --> 02:21:26,617
and report. It is

3753
02:21:26,617 --> 02:21:27,617
a investment in learning and like

3754
02:21:27,617 --> 02:21:29,617
I said,

3755
02:21:30,617 --> 02:21:32,617
a case study

3756
02:21:33,617 --> 02:21:36,617
so when the grant comes out next year they

3757
02:21:36,617 --> 02:21:39,170
look at its impact

3758
02:21:39,617 --> 02:21:42,617
on the community and with regards

3759
02:21:42,617 --> 02:21:42,817
to the impact on the community we

3760
02:21:42,817 --> 02:21:44,817
are

3761
02:21:45,617 --> 02:21:48,617
looking at a sustainable change

3762
02:21:48,617 --> 02:21:50,617
that

3763
02:21:52,617 --> 02:21:54,617
is why the grant requires many

3764
02:21:54,617 --> 02:21:58,617
parts in motion but it is almost like

3765
02:21:58,617 --> 02:22:00,617
a generational

3766
02:22:01,617 --> 02:22:02,617
grant in terms of impact

3767
02:22:02,617 --> 02:22:04,617
so I am glad to be working with the city

3768
02:22:04,617 --> 02:22:04,850
of martinez on it.

3769
02:22:04,850 --> 02:22:05,617
>>

3770
02:22:05,617 --> 02:22:07,617
thank you david, two other things

3771
02:22:07,617 --> 02:22:08,617
you will note in

3772
02:22:08,617 --> 02:22:10,617
the staff report, there is the community

3773
02:22:10,617 --> 02:22:12,617
engagement piece

3774
02:22:12,617 --> 02:22:16,617
and we already reached out to our

3775
02:22:16,617 --> 02:22:18,617
friends at swi a group who did a

3776
02:22:18,617 --> 02:22:22,817
great job on the waterfront master plan,

3777
02:22:25,617 --> 02:22:26,617
dan, steve and I will have

3778
02:22:26,617 --> 02:22:27,617
a call with them tomorrow. They are interested

3779
02:22:27,617 --> 02:22:28,617
in continuing to work with us and

3780
02:22:28,617 --> 02:22:29,617
help us

3781
02:22:29,617 --> 02:22:33,617
with some of the community engagement aspect

3782
02:22:33,617 --> 02:22:36,617
to move forward on this with the council's

3783
02:22:36,617 --> 02:22:39,617
direction so I want to put that out there.

3784
02:22:39,617 --> 02:22:43,817
I think that pretty much covers it.

3785
02:22:45,617 --> 02:22:46,617
we are happy to get any initial feedback

3786
02:22:46,617 --> 02:22:47,617
from council or the public

3787
02:22:47,617 --> 02:22:49,617
on this. Steve is in the audience, if

3788
02:22:49,617 --> 02:22:52,617
I missed anything that needs

3789
02:22:52,617 --> 02:22:55,617
to be covered, please speak up

3790
02:22:55,617 --> 02:22:57,617
steve.

3791
02:22:57,617 --> 02:23:01,617
>> thank you so much for that recitation.

3792
02:23:01,617 --> 02:23:03,617
I know we have been talking as

3793
02:23:03,617 --> 02:23:04,617
a council at every council meeting

3794
02:23:04,617 --> 02:23:06,617
on

3795
02:23:06,617 --> 02:23:07,617
how we will move forward and flip

3796
02:23:07,617 --> 02:23:09,617
the switch

3797
02:23:10,617 --> 02:23:12,617
on implementing

3798
02:23:12,617 --> 02:23:13,617
the trust land use plan and I think

3799
02:23:13,617 --> 02:23:15,617
this is a

3800
02:23:16,617 --> 02:23:19,170
great opportunity for a

3801
02:23:19,617 --> 02:23:22,617
large ticket grant that may

3802
02:23:22,617 --> 02:23:24,617
make a

3803
02:23:24,617 --> 02:23:28,817
huge splash at the marina. Thank you

3804
02:23:30,617 --> 02:23:31,617
to everybody on the call that put some

3805
02:23:31,617 --> 02:23:32,617
of the due

3806
02:23:32,617 --> 02:23:33,617
diligence and that is needed for such

3807
02:23:33,617 --> 02:23:34,617
a large grant and I am very much aligned

3808
02:23:34,617 --> 02:23:36,617
with

3809
02:23:37,617 --> 02:23:39,617
your thinking.

3810
02:23:40,617 --> 02:23:43,617
city manager and all of the

3811
02:23:43,617 --> 02:23:45,617
staff that helped work on this,

3812
02:23:45,617 --> 02:23:46,617
I will provide guidance tonight and I'm

3813
02:23:46,617 --> 02:23:47,617
sure my

3814
02:23:47,617 --> 02:23:49,617
counsel as well, I think this is a

3815
02:23:49,617 --> 02:23:51,617
great thing for us to

3816
02:23:51,617 --> 02:23:52,617
work on. To echo what david said earlier,

3817
02:23:52,617 --> 02:23:54,617
the peen

3818
02:23:55,617 --> 02:23:57,617
april and november,

3819
02:23:57,617 --> 02:23:58,617
it is not a lot of time but I think

3820
02:23:58,617 --> 02:24:00,617
it is

3821
02:24:03,617 --> 02:24:04,617
worthwhile. I dropped off for a second,

3822
02:24:04,617 --> 02:24:05,617
I do not

3823
02:24:05,617 --> 02:24:07,617
know if you mentioned this, as everybody

3824
02:24:07,617 --> 02:24:08,617
remembers, we did put a ton

3825
02:24:08,617 --> 02:24:10,617
of effort into the prop 68 grant we

3826
02:24:10,617 --> 02:24:12,617
did not get

3827
02:24:13,617 --> 02:24:15,617
and we are

3828
02:24:16,617 --> 02:24:18,617
easily able to

3829
02:24:18,617 --> 02:24:19,617
resubmit that for something else and

3830
02:24:19,617 --> 02:24:20,617
we were

3831
02:24:20,617 --> 02:24:22,617
able to get that. Even if we do not

3832
02:24:22,617 --> 02:24:24,617
get the grant

3833
02:24:25,617 --> 02:24:28,617
it is a worthwhile investment for all

3834
02:24:28,617 --> 02:24:31,617
of us because the waterfront is

3835
02:24:31,617 --> 02:24:33,617
so important. I

3836
02:24:34,617 --> 02:24:37,617
did want to acknowledge come in a

3837
02:24:37,617 --> 02:24:39,617
separate report

3838
02:24:39,617 --> 02:24:40,617
we make reference to collaborating

3839
02:24:40,617 --> 02:24:41,617
entities, I know there

3840
02:24:41,617 --> 02:24:43,617
is a handful of other entities in

3841
02:24:43,617 --> 02:24:46,617
martinez that will absolutely be

3842
02:24:46,617 --> 02:24:47,617
aligned

3843
02:24:47,617 --> 02:24:49,617
with reduction of greenhouse gases and

3844
02:24:49,617 --> 02:24:52,617
pollution and all of that so I want

3845
02:24:52,617 --> 02:24:53,617
to make sure

3846
02:24:53,617 --> 02:24:55,617
we do not forget about healthy martinez,

3847
02:24:55,617 --> 02:24:56,617
all of the work they did

3848
02:24:56,617 --> 02:24:57,617
this last year, the absolutely aligned

3849
02:24:57,617 --> 02:25:01,217
with the intention of this grant.

3850
02:25:01,617 --> 02:25:04,170
--creek has been doing

3851
02:25:04,617 --> 02:25:07,617
tons of work, another group

3852
02:25:07,617 --> 02:25:10,617
that has worked on this grant. I hope

3853
02:25:10,617 --> 02:25:12,617
you are able to maintain

3854
02:25:12,617 --> 02:25:12,983
those relationships.

3855
02:25:12,983 --> 02:25:14,983
>> have you talked

3856
02:25:21,617 --> 02:25:22,170
to them already?

3857
02:25:22,170 --> 02:25:22,617
>> no, but they are on

3858
02:25:22,617 --> 02:25:23,617
the radar. Again we

3859
02:25:23,617 --> 02:25:25,617
are running against the clock a little

3860
02:25:25,617 --> 02:25:27,617
bit. Obviously we wanted to do our

3861
02:25:27,617 --> 02:25:28,617
initial assessment and have a dialogue

3862
02:25:28,617 --> 02:25:31,170
with california consulting might

3863
02:25:31,617 --> 02:25:33,617
have dialogue with josh and

3864
02:25:33,617 --> 02:25:37,617
see how those components may align and

3865
02:25:37,617 --> 02:25:40,617
have a dialogue with new leaf, to

3866
02:25:40,617 --> 02:25:43,617
give them time to evaluate. You are

3867
02:25:43,617 --> 02:25:45,617
spot on, those are

3868
02:25:45,617 --> 02:25:46,617
organizations we have in mind and

3869
02:25:46,617 --> 02:25:49,617
there are others as well

3870
02:25:49,617 --> 02:25:52,617
we intend to reach out

3871
02:25:52,617 --> 02:25:52,800
to. Some exciting aspects of this

3872
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:54,617
in

3873
02:25:54,617 --> 02:25:55,617
terms of the partnerships that we

3874
02:25:55,617 --> 02:25:57,617
can create.

3875
02:25:58,617 --> 02:26:01,617
you said it very well, it is a

3876
02:26:01,617 --> 02:26:04,170
big project but it

3877
02:26:07,617 --> 02:26:08,617
can

3878
02:26:08,617 --> 02:26:10,617
really move the needle at the waterfront

3879
02:26:10,617 --> 02:26:11,617
and open us up to exciting new possibilities

3880
02:26:11,617 --> 02:26:13,617
that honestly we all know we need

3881
02:26:13,617 --> 02:26:14,830
down there.

3882
02:26:14,830 --> 02:26:16,617
>> sent we are being recorded, do

3883
02:26:16,617 --> 02:26:19,617
not forget cd and --parks, they

3884
02:26:19,617 --> 02:26:21,617
would be

3885
02:26:24,617 --> 02:26:25,617
good folks to have on the team. A

3886
02:26:25,617 --> 02:26:26,617
question for josh,

3887
02:26:26,617 --> 02:26:27,617
part of the waterfront master plan

3888
02:26:27,617 --> 02:26:30,617
discussion was about converting sediment

3889
02:26:30,617 --> 02:26:31,617
water ponds and reintroducing them to

3890
02:26:31,617 --> 02:26:32,617
title

3891
02:26:32,617 --> 02:26:34,617
flows but the expectation was that

3892
02:26:34,617 --> 02:26:36,617
it would

3893
02:26:37,617 --> 02:26:37,800
be part of mitigation for the development we planned

3894
02:26:37,800 --> 02:26:39,800
to

3895
02:26:40,617 --> 02:26:42,617
do as part of the design

3896
02:26:42,617 --> 02:26:43,617
so we originally discussed this, remember the vice

3897
02:26:43,617 --> 02:26:46,617
mayor even asked, why are

3898
02:26:46,617 --> 02:26:49,617
we not restoring the title

3899
02:26:49,617 --> 02:26:53,617
marsh first and the answer is we are

3900
02:26:53,617 --> 02:26:55,617
waiting because there is mitigation and

3901
02:26:55,617 --> 02:26:56,617
we want to go side-by-side, so I am

3902
02:26:56,617 --> 02:26:58,617
only partially concerned because it feels

3903
02:26:58,617 --> 02:27:01,617
like this grant will warrant what

3904
02:27:01,617 --> 02:27:03,617
this mitigation

3905
02:27:06,617 --> 02:27:07,617
ultimately wants to be and we are

3906
02:27:07,617 --> 02:27:07,817
trying to use the same project twice.

3907
02:27:07,817 --> 02:27:09,617
can you

3908
02:27:09,617 --> 02:27:09,933
speak to that a little bit?

3909
02:27:09,933 --> 02:27:10,617
>> obviously

3910
02:27:10,617 --> 02:27:13,617
the grant is a opportunity we

3911
02:27:13,617 --> 02:27:15,617
may not want to pass up

3912
02:27:15,617 --> 02:27:16,617
even if it slightly adjusts our strategy

3913
02:27:16,617 --> 02:27:18,617
there but I

3914
02:27:19,617 --> 02:27:21,617
do not know if they

3915
02:27:21,617 --> 02:27:22,617
are mutually exclusive. We have had success

3916
02:27:22,617 --> 02:27:25,617
in the past talking to agencies and

3917
02:27:25,617 --> 02:27:27,617
saying we will

3918
02:27:27,617 --> 02:27:28,617
advance something for habitat but

3919
02:27:28,617 --> 02:27:28,817
take note of the fact we are doing

3920
02:27:28,817 --> 02:27:30,817
this

3921
02:27:31,617 --> 02:27:34,617
so when we come back

3922
02:27:34,617 --> 02:27:34,950
--I cannot tell you in particular

3923
02:27:34,950 --> 02:27:37,350
for sure exactly how

3924
02:27:37,617 --> 02:27:37,833
the math will work out but I do think

3925
02:27:37,833 --> 02:27:39,833
if we

3926
02:27:40,617 --> 02:27:42,617
successfully pivot

3927
02:27:43,617 --> 02:27:43,967
to the grant I do not think it eliminates the

3928
02:27:43,967 --> 02:27:45,967
possibility of getting

3929
02:27:47,617 --> 02:27:49,617
mitigation credit

3930
02:27:49,617 --> 02:27:50,617
at least on some level. It is a conversation

3931
02:27:50,617 --> 02:27:51,133
we have

3932
02:27:51,133 --> 02:27:52,617
to have with the agencies. As long

3933
02:27:52,617 --> 02:27:53,617
as it is in a reasonable timeframe.

3934
02:27:53,617 --> 02:27:54,617
we need

3935
02:27:54,617 --> 02:27:56,617
to brief the waterfront plan to the agencies

3936
02:27:56,617 --> 02:27:58,617
so when

3937
02:27:59,617 --> 02:28:01,617
we get

3938
02:28:07,617 --> 02:28:08,617
to some of these things that may require hardening,

3939
02:28:08,617 --> 02:28:10,617
I want you to remember we did this because

3940
02:28:10,617 --> 02:28:11,617
for us this is all part of one plan.

3941
02:28:11,617 --> 02:28:12,617
I cannot

3942
02:28:12,617 --> 02:28:13,617
exactly how the dialogue will go but

3943
02:28:13,617 --> 02:28:14,617
we have had success with that and

3944
02:28:14,617 --> 02:28:16,617
other

3945
02:28:17,617 --> 02:28:21,217
places in the past. To get

3946
02:28:23,617 --> 02:28:24,617
10-20

3947
02:28:24,617 --> 02:28:26,617
million of free money to advance the plan

3948
02:28:26,617 --> 02:28:27,617
is difficult to overlook. I do

3949
02:28:27,617 --> 02:28:29,617
not think we would give up on the mitigation

3950
02:28:29,617 --> 02:28:30,617
piece and we would have some reasonable

3951
02:28:30,617 --> 02:28:31,617
negotiation with the agencies about

3952
02:28:31,617 --> 02:28:32,617
some banking of credit for the project.

3953
02:28:32,617 --> 02:28:34,617
>>

3954
02:28:35,617 --> 02:28:38,617
just one comment mike, regarding

3955
02:28:38,617 --> 02:28:39,617
the staff report, it makes

3956
02:28:39,617 --> 02:28:41,617
reference to the prefab building.

3957
02:28:41,617 --> 02:28:43,617
I just

3958
02:28:44,617 --> 02:28:47,617
want to voice my slight concern

3959
02:28:47,617 --> 02:28:49,617
about that,

3960
02:28:50,617 --> 02:28:51,617
I am excited about the idea of a environmental

3961
02:28:51,617 --> 02:28:53,617
learning center and event center at

3962
02:28:53,617 --> 02:28:56,617
the waterfront and I do not want us

3963
02:28:56,617 --> 02:28:58,617
to

3964
02:28:59,617 --> 02:29:02,617
make the first building a prefab

3965
02:29:02,617 --> 02:29:03,617
amma what I am picturing is

3966
02:29:03,617 --> 02:29:05,617
probably not what you are picturing.

3967
02:29:05,617 --> 02:29:08,617
I do not want to

3968
02:29:08,617 --> 02:29:09,617
settle for something

3969
02:29:09,617 --> 02:29:11,617
too small if it is our first foray

3970
02:29:11,617 --> 02:29:14,617
into making physical improvements. No

3971
02:29:14,617 --> 02:29:16,617
response

3972
02:29:16,617 --> 02:29:17,617
required I just want to acknowledge

3973
02:29:17,617 --> 02:29:19,617
my concern.

3974
02:29:20,617 --> 02:29:22,617
I am going

3975
02:29:26,617 --> 02:29:27,617
--I am looking at the rest

3976
02:29:27,617 --> 02:29:29,617
of the council, anybody with any questions? How

3977
02:29:29,617 --> 02:29:32,170
about we start with

3978
02:29:32,617 --> 02:29:32,867
jay and go from there.

3979
02:29:32,867 --> 02:29:34,867
>> that

3980
02:29:35,617 --> 02:29:37,617
is wonderful,

3981
02:29:37,617 --> 02:29:38,617
I want to thank ellen, david and josh

3982
02:29:38,617 --> 02:29:39,617
for

3983
02:29:39,617 --> 02:29:41,617
the collaboration. This is right up

3984
02:29:41,617 --> 02:29:43,617
our alley.

3985
02:29:44,617 --> 02:29:47,617
anything that will turn those

3986
02:29:47,617 --> 02:29:49,617
wetlands,

3987
02:29:51,617 --> 02:29:53,617
the dredge ponds into wetlands, I

3988
02:29:53,617 --> 02:29:56,617
am excited to get any

3989
02:29:56,617 --> 02:29:59,617
kind of funding out there. Is it

3990
02:29:59,617 --> 02:30:01,617
a 20 million grant

3991
02:30:02,617 --> 02:30:05,617
or can it be anywhere between 10

3992
02:30:05,617 --> 02:30:07,617
and 20?

3993
02:30:08,617 --> 02:30:10,617
>>

3994
02:30:10,617 --> 02:30:11,617
it can be anywhere between 10 and 20.

3995
02:30:11,617 --> 02:30:13,617
>>

3996
02:30:14,617 --> 02:30:16,617
okay, I

3997
02:30:16,617 --> 02:30:20,617
get that it is a competitive bid process.

3998
02:30:20,617 --> 02:30:23,617
I want to know, who owns

3999
02:30:23,617 --> 02:30:26,170
the dredge ponds now?

4000
02:30:26,617 --> 02:30:29,170
do you know mike?

4001
02:30:29,617 --> 02:30:31,617
>>

4002
02:30:35,617 --> 02:30:36,617
they are part

4003
02:30:36,617 --> 02:30:38,617
of the granted trust lands so that is

4004
02:30:38,617 --> 02:30:38,817
under the city's purview but we work

4005
02:30:38,817 --> 02:30:40,617
with

4006
02:30:40,617 --> 02:30:41,617
state lands on what we do with the

4007
02:30:41,617 --> 02:30:43,617
waterfront and they are

4008
02:30:43,617 --> 02:30:46,617
excited about this as well by the way.

4009
02:30:46,617 --> 02:30:47,617
I already sent our intention on this

4010
02:30:47,617 --> 02:30:49,617
so this

4011
02:30:50,617 --> 02:30:52,617
is a opportunity they would

4012
02:30:52,617 --> 02:30:53,000
definitely support.

4013
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:53,617
>> I am very excited

4014
02:30:53,617 --> 02:30:55,617
about this,

4015
02:30:57,617 --> 02:30:59,617
especially the community strength plan

4016
02:30:59,617 --> 02:30:59,800
part of it. That is all I have, I

4017
02:30:59,800 --> 02:31:01,617
am

4018
02:31:01,617 --> 02:31:02,617
definitely for all of this. Go ahead.

4019
02:31:02,617 --> 02:31:04,617
>>

4020
02:31:05,617 --> 02:31:07,617
thank you josh

4021
02:31:08,617 --> 02:31:11,170
david and ellen. Bring

4022
02:31:11,617 --> 02:31:14,617
those to the table, as

4023
02:31:14,617 --> 02:31:16,617
david said

4024
02:31:17,617 --> 02:31:20,170
, this may be a

4025
02:31:20,617 --> 02:31:22,617
case study

4026
02:31:23,617 --> 02:31:23,867
that would be interesting. We have

4027
02:31:23,867 --> 02:31:25,617
a impacted

4028
02:31:25,617 --> 02:31:29,217
community. We have a geographic location

4029
02:31:29,617 --> 02:31:31,617
with

4030
02:31:32,617 --> 02:31:35,617
the confluence of fresh and salt water.

4031
02:31:35,617 --> 02:31:38,617
all of these factors that the environmental

4032
02:31:38,617 --> 02:31:40,617
community and

4033
02:31:45,617 --> 02:31:46,617
--historical factors, the indians

4034
02:31:46,617 --> 02:31:47,617
thought this was the center of the

4035
02:31:47,617 --> 02:31:49,617
universe because of the

4036
02:31:49,617 --> 02:31:50,617
east and west migration of the fish and

4037
02:31:50,617 --> 02:31:50,817
north-south migration of the birds,

4038
02:31:50,817 --> 02:31:52,617
I do

4039
02:31:52,617 --> 02:31:53,617
not know if that will give us extra

4040
02:31:53,617 --> 02:31:56,617
points but I do know we have

4041
02:31:56,617 --> 02:31:58,617
a lot of

4042
02:31:59,617 --> 02:32:00,617
aspects,

4043
02:32:00,617 --> 02:32:02,617
including indigenous ones going for

4044
02:32:02,617 --> 02:32:04,617
us in this and we have the right people

4045
02:32:04,617 --> 02:32:05,617
to suss all of that out and connect

4046
02:32:05,617 --> 02:32:07,617
the dots.

4047
02:32:08,617 --> 02:32:11,170
you have the heart

4048
02:32:11,617 --> 02:32:13,617
and soul

4049
02:32:13,617 --> 02:32:14,617
we also have to thank you for the

4050
02:32:14,617 --> 02:32:16,617
work and anything we

4051
02:32:16,617 --> 02:32:21,417
can help you with, we have everybody's support.

4052
02:32:25,617 --> 02:32:26,617
>> I would also like to extend my thanks to

4053
02:32:26,617 --> 02:32:28,617
everyone here.

4054
02:32:28,617 --> 02:32:29,617
it is no secret I have been pounding

4055
02:32:29,617 --> 02:32:31,617
the pavement

4056
02:32:38,617 --> 02:32:38,817
since I have been on the dais for

4057
02:32:38,817 --> 02:32:40,617
the need

4058
02:32:40,617 --> 02:32:41,617
for us to be more aggressive when it

4059
02:32:41,617 --> 02:32:42,617
comes to seeking out

4060
02:32:42,617 --> 02:32:43,617
state and federal dollars to help

4061
02:32:43,617 --> 02:32:44,617
us with any number of projects throughout

4062
02:32:44,617 --> 02:32:46,617
the city.

4063
02:32:49,617 --> 02:32:50,617
this is chief among them and this

4064
02:32:50,617 --> 02:32:52,617
is exactly what I

4065
02:32:52,617 --> 02:32:53,617
have had in mind so let's do this

4066
02:32:53,617 --> 02:32:56,617
team. I am pumped. This would

4067
02:32:56,617 --> 02:32:59,170
be huge for us.

4068
02:32:59,617 --> 02:33:02,617
if we were able to get this. As

4069
02:33:02,617 --> 02:33:04,617
the mayor pointed out, even if we

4070
02:33:04,617 --> 02:33:05,617
do not, it sets us up for success

4071
02:33:05,617 --> 02:33:07,617
later on

4072
02:33:07,617 --> 02:33:08,617
down the road. Basically what we have

4073
02:33:08,617 --> 02:33:11,617
seen. I am going in

4074
02:33:11,617 --> 02:33:12,617
with the mentality that we will

4075
02:33:12,617 --> 02:33:14,617
get this so whatever you need from

4076
02:33:14,617 --> 02:33:16,617
us, let us know.

4077
02:33:16,617 --> 02:33:20,217
a couple of comments and observations.

4078
02:33:20,617 --> 02:33:22,617
as part of

4079
02:33:22,617 --> 02:33:23,617
the community engagement piece a couple of

4080
02:33:23,617 --> 02:33:25,617
thoughts come to mind. Or tina's is one

4081
02:33:25,617 --> 02:33:26,617
of the rare cities where we are a

4082
02:33:26,617 --> 02:33:28,617
city of

4083
02:33:29,617 --> 02:33:30,617
7000 residents, we have two

4084
02:33:30,617 --> 02:33:32,617
congressional representatives and

4085
02:33:32,617 --> 02:33:35,170
I think it is

4086
02:33:35,617 --> 02:33:37,617
important we engage with both members

4087
02:33:37,617 --> 02:33:38,617
of congress and have them go to bat

4088
02:33:38,617 --> 02:33:40,617
for us.

4089
02:33:41,617 --> 02:33:43,617
I do not know if any letters of support are

4090
02:33:43,617 --> 02:33:44,617
required but we should definitely

4091
02:33:44,617 --> 02:33:46,617
be engaging

4092
02:33:47,617 --> 02:33:50,170
with both of our

4093
02:33:51,617 --> 02:33:53,617
congressional members,

4094
02:33:54,617 --> 02:33:57,617
be engaged with their staff

4095
02:33:57,617 --> 02:34:00,170
in the early stages.

4096
02:34:00,617 --> 02:34:03,617
keep them in the loop. I think

4097
02:34:03,617 --> 02:34:06,617
they can be a valuable asset for

4098
02:34:06,617 --> 02:34:10,217
us. I think it is important

4099
02:34:12,617 --> 02:34:14,617
that for all

4100
02:34:15,617 --> 02:34:17,617
of the recreational environment

4101
02:34:17,617 --> 02:34:20,617
benefits there is economic development

4102
02:34:25,617 --> 02:34:27,617
associated as well and we need to

4103
02:34:27,617 --> 02:34:29,617
keep that in mind as

4104
02:34:29,617 --> 02:34:30,617
well. The other thought is part of the community

4105
02:34:30,617 --> 02:34:31,617
engagement

4106
02:34:31,617 --> 02:34:35,817
piece, one thing I would note here,

4107
02:34:36,617 --> 02:34:39,170
because it is talking

4108
02:34:42,617 --> 02:34:44,617
about making sure

4109
02:34:45,617 --> 02:34:46,617
that we are working with

4110
02:34:46,617 --> 02:34:49,170
a collaborative governance structure

4111
02:34:53,617 --> 02:34:54,617
and engaging a wide variety of community

4112
02:34:54,617 --> 02:34:55,617
stakeholders as part

4113
02:34:55,617 --> 02:34:57,617
of the process. One untapped resource

4114
02:34:57,617 --> 02:34:59,617
that I feel like we have not

4115
02:34:59,617 --> 02:35:00,617
done a good enough job at his engaging

4116
02:35:00,617 --> 02:35:02,617
the

4117
02:35:03,617 --> 02:35:04,100
folks at

4118
02:35:04,100 --> 02:35:06,617
the california maritime academy. I

4119
02:35:06,617 --> 02:35:07,617
know the sea scouts have

4120
02:35:07,617 --> 02:35:09,617
a relationship with them but I feel like

4121
02:35:09,617 --> 02:35:11,617
there is something more

4122
02:35:11,617 --> 02:35:13,617
that can be done on that front. There

4123
02:35:13,617 --> 02:35:15,617
are seven maritime academies in the u.s.

4124
02:35:15,617 --> 02:35:17,617
,

4125
02:35:18,617 --> 02:35:20,617
degree awarding academies.

4126
02:35:21,617 --> 02:35:23,617
there is only one

4127
02:35:23,617 --> 02:35:24,617
on the west coast of the u.s. Which

4128
02:35:24,617 --> 02:35:26,617
just so happens to

4129
02:35:26,617 --> 02:35:30,217
be located 15 minutes away from us

4130
02:35:30,617 --> 02:35:32,617
, across the bay.

4131
02:35:36,617 --> 02:35:39,617
so we need to tap into that.

4132
02:35:39,617 --> 02:35:42,617
I think it would behoove us to

4133
02:35:42,617 --> 02:35:45,617
figure out how we can

4134
02:35:45,617 --> 02:35:48,617
further solidify or make some

4135
02:35:48,617 --> 02:35:51,170
inroads on the partnership.

4136
02:35:51,617 --> 02:35:54,170
I have had some

4137
02:35:54,617 --> 02:35:56,617
conversations

4138
02:35:56,617 --> 02:35:57,617
in the past with the folks at the

4139
02:35:57,617 --> 02:36:00,617
maritime academy to my previous

4140
02:36:00,617 --> 02:36:03,617
day job and I think it would be

4141
02:36:03,617 --> 02:36:08,417
beneficial for us to loop them in and

4142
02:36:08,617 --> 02:36:09,617
see how we can maybe include them

4143
02:36:09,617 --> 02:36:11,617
as part

4144
02:36:11,617 --> 02:36:15,617
of this process. I think that will make

4145
02:36:15,617 --> 02:36:16,617
our application all the more

4146
02:36:16,617 --> 02:36:20,817
stronger so that is all. Thank you.

4147
02:36:21,617 --> 02:36:23,617
>>

4148
02:36:23,617 --> 02:36:24,617
I like everything I have heard. Thank

4149
02:36:24,617 --> 02:36:26,617
you to

4150
02:36:27,617 --> 02:36:29,617
everyone. Steve, mike,

4151
02:36:30,617 --> 02:36:33,617
josh, dave, ellen, thank you

4152
02:36:35,617 --> 02:36:36,617
to my colleagues for all of the suggestions,

4153
02:36:36,617 --> 02:36:37,617
we will

4154
02:36:37,617 --> 02:36:39,617
not solve it tonight but I will keep

4155
02:36:39,617 --> 02:36:40,617
this short

4156
02:36:40,617 --> 02:36:42,617
and sweet, I love the relationships

4157
02:36:42,617 --> 02:36:44,617
we are building to make this

4158
02:36:44,617 --> 02:36:48,617
grant happen. It is truly a opportunity.

4159
02:36:48,617 --> 02:36:50,617
I write several grants

4160
02:36:50,617 --> 02:36:51,617
a year in my day job and if I was

4161
02:36:51,617 --> 02:36:53,617
a

4162
02:36:54,617 --> 02:36:55,617
grant manager I would hand

4163
02:36:55,617 --> 02:36:57,617
the city of martinez 20-tonight because

4164
02:36:57,617 --> 02:37:00,617
I think we will get

4165
02:37:00,617 --> 02:37:03,617
this one so I fully support it. Thank

4166
02:37:03,617 --> 02:37:06,617
you for all of your work that

4167
02:37:06,617 --> 02:37:06,850
you will be doing in the future.

4168
02:37:06,850 --> 02:37:08,850
>> I

4169
02:37:09,617 --> 02:37:09,850
love the enthusiasm.

4170
02:37:09,850 --> 02:37:11,850
>>

4171
02:37:12,617 --> 02:37:14,617
one additional item, counselor, thank

4172
02:37:14,617 --> 02:37:15,617
you for reminding me. We discussed

4173
02:37:15,617 --> 02:37:17,617
partnering with

4174
02:37:18,617 --> 02:37:20,617
the confederated villages

4175
02:37:21,617 --> 02:37:23,617
for the next

4176
02:37:24,617 --> 02:37:25,617
iteration of planning for the

4177
02:37:25,617 --> 02:37:27,617
waterfront and I think this is a great

4178
02:37:27,617 --> 02:37:30,617
opportunity to partner with them

4179
02:37:30,617 --> 02:37:32,617
more formally

4180
02:37:33,617 --> 02:37:35,617
so has any outreach been done

4181
02:37:35,617 --> 02:37:36,617
for the purposes of this grant to

4182
02:37:36,617 --> 02:37:38,617
that group?

4183
02:37:41,617 --> 02:37:42,617
>> not yet, we have just been doing

4184
02:37:42,617 --> 02:37:44,617
evaluation and research.

4185
02:37:45,617 --> 02:37:50,417
it is potentially more than the confederated villages

4186
02:37:51,617 --> 02:37:51,883
that we have been working with to a

4187
02:37:51,883 --> 02:37:53,617
great extent

4188
02:37:53,617 --> 02:37:57,617
but there may be some other potential importantly

4189
02:37:57,617 --> 02:38:00,617
it will boil down to what we

4190
02:38:00,617 --> 02:38:02,617
can offer

4191
02:38:03,617 --> 02:38:05,617
that has value from this and we have

4192
02:38:05,617 --> 02:38:06,617
ideas and we need to flesh that out

4193
02:38:06,617 --> 02:38:08,617
first. Those are some of the questions

4194
02:38:08,617 --> 02:38:09,617
we want to work through and then do

4195
02:38:09,617 --> 02:38:11,617
the outreach.

4196
02:38:14,617 --> 02:38:15,617
I note there is potential opportunities

4197
02:38:15,617 --> 02:38:17,617
down there for them that

4198
02:38:17,617 --> 02:38:18,617
hopefully they would be interested

4199
02:38:18,617 --> 02:38:20,617
in pursuing.

4200
02:38:21,617 --> 02:38:23,617
that is

4201
02:38:23,617 --> 02:38:24,617
in the near future we will be sharing

4202
02:38:24,617 --> 02:38:26,617
that

4203
02:38:26,617 --> 02:38:26,933
sort of outreach.

4204
02:38:26,933 --> 02:38:27,617
>> I appreciate

4205
02:38:27,617 --> 02:38:30,170
that very much. I

4206
02:38:30,617 --> 02:38:31,617
know after the

4207
02:38:31,617 --> 02:38:33,617
previous park naming discussions there

4208
02:38:33,617 --> 02:38:36,617
was a lot of interest in

4209
02:38:36,617 --> 02:38:39,170
partnering with tribes on

4210
02:38:39,617 --> 02:38:41,617
naming future

4211
02:38:41,617 --> 02:38:42,617
components of the waterfront so I

4212
02:38:42,617 --> 02:38:44,617
appreciate you

4213
02:38:44,617 --> 02:38:45,617
considering this and I want to ensure

4214
02:38:45,617 --> 02:38:47,617
this is one

4215
02:38:48,617 --> 02:38:52,217
of the players in this grant

4216
02:38:56,617 --> 02:38:57,617
application. I will open it to public

4217
02:38:57,617 --> 02:38:58,617
comment. Is there

4218
02:38:58,617 --> 02:39:00,617
anybody in council chambers that would

4219
02:39:00,617 --> 02:39:00,917
like to speak on this item?

4220
02:39:00,917 --> 02:39:02,917
>> please raise

4221
02:39:03,617 --> 02:39:07,217

4222
02:39:09,617 --> 02:39:09,867

feature if you would like to make

4225
02:39:12,617 --> 02:39:15,617
a comment on this item. We

4226
02:39:15,617 --> 02:39:18,617
do have one hand. I will ask you to unmute.

4227
02:39:18,617 --> 02:39:20,617
>>

4228
02:39:21,617 --> 02:39:23,617
hello, local citizen

4229
02:39:24,617 --> 02:39:26,617
on the parks

4230
02:39:26,617 --> 02:39:30,617
and rec commission, I would urge everyone

4231
02:39:30,617 --> 02:39:33,617
who is on this meeting to

4232
02:39:33,617 --> 02:39:36,617
go down and walk around the ponds

4233
02:39:36,617 --> 02:39:39,617
to get a feel for it. Walk around

4234
02:39:39,617 --> 02:39:41,617
the horse ring and the refinery,

4235
02:39:41,617 --> 02:39:42,617
it is really beautiful this time of

4236
02:39:42,617 --> 02:39:45,170
year and it is

4237
02:39:45,617 --> 02:39:48,617
getting dry as we speak.

4238
02:39:48,617 --> 02:39:51,617
the nicest time is december

4239
02:39:51,617 --> 02:39:54,170
through now. It helps

4240
02:39:54,617 --> 02:39:57,617
to get a visceral feeling of

4241
02:39:57,617 --> 02:39:57,800
the view and the water and what could

4242
02:39:57,800 --> 02:39:59,800
be

4243
02:40:00,617 --> 02:40:02,617
done there. That

4244
02:40:03,617 --> 02:40:05,617
is it really. This

4245
02:40:05,617 --> 02:40:09,617
is all going in the right direction

4246
02:40:09,617 --> 02:40:10,617
and I am looking forward to seeing

4247
02:40:10,617 --> 02:40:12,617
where it

4248
02:40:13,617 --> 02:40:13,950
goes. Thank you.

4249
02:40:13,950 --> 02:40:15,950
>> thank you.

4250
02:40:16,617 --> 02:40:19,170
>> I have no further

4251
02:40:19,617 --> 02:40:19,950
hands.

4252
02:40:19,950 --> 02:40:21,617
>> all right,

4253
02:40:21,617 --> 02:40:25,617
let me bring this back to counsel.

4254
02:40:25,617 --> 02:40:28,170
what was the action?

4255
02:40:31,617 --> 02:40:32,617
we

4256
02:40:32,617 --> 02:40:34,617
want a motion to direct you to coordinate this?

4257
02:40:34,617 --> 02:40:36,617

4258
02:40:36,617 --> 02:40:37,617

this item this evening.

>> thank you.

4288
02:41:34,617 --> 02:41:35,617
>> good night david,

4289
02:41:35,617 --> 02:41:39,217
ellen and josh. Moving backwards to

4290
02:41:39,617 --> 02:41:41,617
10, adopt a resolution of approving

4291
02:41:41,617 --> 02:41:43,617
a loan of 50,000 from the general

4292
02:41:43,617 --> 02:41:46,170
fund to the marina

4293
02:41:46,617 --> 02:41:49,617
enterprise fund. Will you be

4294
02:41:50,617 --> 02:41:50,917
presenting this as well?

4295
02:41:50,917 --> 02:41:52,617
>> yes it

4296
02:41:52,617 --> 02:41:54,617
will still be me. If we can

4297
02:41:54,617 --> 02:41:58,217
please advance jim hayes and betsy.

4298
02:41:58,617 --> 02:42:01,170
I appreciate their patience.

4299
02:42:04,617 --> 02:42:04,800
if you recall a couple of weeks ago

4300
02:42:04,800 --> 02:42:06,800
we

4301
02:42:07,617 --> 02:42:09,617
had this discussion regarding

4302
02:42:09,617 --> 02:42:11,617
the supplemental funding for the marina. It

4303
02:42:11,617 --> 02:42:13,617
was a healthy discussion, one of the things

4304
02:42:13,617 --> 02:42:14,617
that came out of the

4305
02:42:14,617 --> 02:42:16,617
discussion was the apparent need to

4306
02:42:16,617 --> 02:42:18,617
make changes at

4307
02:42:19,617 --> 02:42:20,617
what is

4308
02:42:20,617 --> 02:42:22,617
currently called the marina bait store,

4309
02:42:22,617 --> 02:42:25,170
it has been identified

4310
02:42:25,617 --> 02:42:28,617
as the biggest source of

4311
02:42:32,617 --> 02:42:33,617
operating losses and contravening to

4312
02:42:33,617 --> 02:42:34,617
the ongoing deficit in marina operations

4313
02:42:34,617 --> 02:42:35,617
and unfortunately, jim hayes,

4314
02:42:35,617 --> 02:42:37,617
the chief operating officer was unavailable

4315
02:42:37,617 --> 02:42:40,617
to attend that last meeting and the

4316
02:42:40,617 --> 02:42:42,617
counsel indicated

4317
02:42:42,617 --> 02:42:43,617
they wanted to continue the item and

4318
02:42:43,617 --> 02:42:44,617
have a chance to hear

4319
02:42:44,617 --> 02:42:46,617
from jim. Jim is here tonight virtually

4320
02:42:46,617 --> 02:42:48,617
as well as

4321
02:42:49,617 --> 02:42:51,617
betsy, the hardware master

4322
02:42:51,617 --> 02:42:52,617
done at the marina. Unfortunately

4323
02:42:52,617 --> 02:42:54,617
on the

4324
02:42:54,617 --> 02:42:57,617
city side, community economic development

4325
02:42:59,617 --> 02:43:01,617
jill who has been working on this item

4326
02:43:01,617 --> 02:43:04,617

4327
02:43:04,617 --> 02:43:07,617
couple of months now, she is not yet

4328
02:43:07,617 --> 02:43:10,617
back from her trip so

4329
02:43:10,617 --> 02:43:13,617
she will be part of the ongoing work we

4330
02:43:13,617 --> 02:43:16,617
will continue to do. I know from catching

4331
02:43:16,617 --> 02:43:18,617
up with

4332
02:43:19,617 --> 02:43:20,617
jim since he returned he does have

4333
02:43:20,617 --> 02:43:21,617
updates regarding some of the changes

4334
02:43:21,617 --> 02:43:22,617
that have already been made at the

4335
02:43:22,617 --> 02:43:24,617
bait store and

4336
02:43:25,617 --> 02:43:28,617
some of the plans for potential

4337
02:43:28,617 --> 02:43:28,867
next steps as we evaluate ways to improve

4338
02:43:28,867 --> 02:43:29,617
operations

4339
02:43:29,617 --> 02:43:31,617
down there. I will also mention, I

4340
02:43:31,617 --> 02:43:34,617
got late information from betsy,

4341
02:43:34,617 --> 02:43:35,617
last

4342
02:43:35,617 --> 02:43:37,617
weekend when we had glorious weather,

4343
02:43:37,617 --> 02:43:40,617
we had a really good

4344
02:43:40,617 --> 02:43:41,617
three day weekend at the bait store

4345
02:43:41,617 --> 02:43:43,617
and that is two weekends in a row

4346
02:43:43,617 --> 02:43:45,617
and I say that knowing

4347
02:43:45,617 --> 02:43:46,617
full well there is a solid chance

4348
02:43:46,617 --> 02:43:48,617
of rain this

4349
02:43:49,617 --> 02:43:50,617
coming saturday but what

4350
02:43:50,617 --> 02:43:52,617
can you do? There is a correlation

4351
02:43:52,617 --> 02:43:54,617
between good weather and

4352
02:43:54,617 --> 02:43:55,617
better operations at the bait store

4353
02:43:55,617 --> 02:43:56,617
even with

4354
02:43:56,617 --> 02:43:58,617
the unfortunate circumstance of the

4355
02:43:58,617 --> 02:44:00,617
fishing pier

4356
02:44:01,617 --> 02:44:03,617
obviously still closed as we

4357
02:44:03,617 --> 02:44:04,617
work toward the restoration project so

4358
02:44:04,617 --> 02:44:06,617
anyway

4359
02:44:07,617 --> 02:44:09,617
if we can

4360
02:44:09,617 --> 02:44:10,617
promote jim and betsy said they are

4361
02:44:10,617 --> 02:44:12,617
available

4362
02:44:13,617 --> 02:44:16,617
to speak. They are, great.

4363
02:44:18,617 --> 02:44:19,617
that is it for the introduction to

4364
02:44:19,617 --> 02:44:21,617
the item.

4365
02:44:22,617 --> 02:44:25,170
>> thank you mike, I

4366
02:44:25,617 --> 02:44:26,617
appreciate it. We

4367
02:44:26,617 --> 02:44:27,617
appreciate your consideration for

4368
02:44:27,617 --> 02:44:30,617
additional funding for marine operations.

4369
02:44:31,617 --> 02:44:33,617
as you heard,

4370
02:44:37,617 --> 02:44:39,617
last week from our cfo we are struggling

4371
02:44:39,617 --> 02:44:40,617
at the bait store but we are currently working

4372
02:44:40,617 --> 02:44:42,617
to improve that.

4373
02:44:43,617 --> 02:44:44,617
we are getting a lot of help

4374
02:44:44,617 --> 02:44:45,617
from the city, jill especially, she

4375
02:44:45,617 --> 02:44:46,617
has been a amazing job providing us

4376
02:44:46,617 --> 02:44:49,170
with ideas on how

4377
02:44:49,617 --> 02:44:51,617
we can promote the bait

4378
02:44:51,617 --> 02:44:52,617
store. Mike is always a big help and

4379
02:44:52,617 --> 02:44:52,800
we appreciate that. We already started

4380
02:44:52,800 --> 02:44:54,800
on

4381
02:44:55,617 --> 02:44:58,170
some of the items

4382
02:44:58,617 --> 02:45:01,617
that do not cost a lot of money

4383
02:45:01,617 --> 02:45:01,833
that we can take advantage of right now

4384
02:45:01,833 --> 02:45:03,617
and a

4385
02:45:03,617 --> 02:45:04,617
lot of it has to do with the physical plant of

4386
02:45:04,617 --> 02:45:06,617
the bait

4387
02:45:07,617 --> 02:45:07,817
store and how it looks. We are removing

4388
02:45:07,817 --> 02:45:09,817
some

4389
02:45:10,617 --> 02:45:12,617
unnecessary signs

4390
02:45:13,617 --> 02:45:16,617
. We are repairing the deck outside. Replacing

4391
02:45:16,617 --> 02:45:18,617
exterior window frames and

4392
02:45:18,617 --> 02:45:19,617
taking care of some of the landscaping

4393
02:45:19,617 --> 02:45:21,617
that is

4394
02:45:22,617 --> 02:45:25,170
there now. After that

4395
02:45:27,617 --> 02:45:28,617
we are moving on to some items that

4396
02:45:28,617 --> 02:45:31,170
will have a cost.

4397
02:45:31,617 --> 02:45:33,617
so we are gathering the

4398
02:45:33,617 --> 02:45:34,617
costs now, considering the fact we

4399
02:45:34,617 --> 02:45:37,170
will be doing some

4400
02:45:40,617 --> 02:45:41,617
rebranding we will

4401
02:45:41,617 --> 02:45:42,617
need new signage, we are looking at

4402
02:45:42,617 --> 02:45:43,617
furniture and umbrellas for outside

4403
02:45:43,617 --> 02:45:45,617
on the deck. Hopefully bring

4404
02:45:45,617 --> 02:45:48,617
color and activity there. Additional activity

4405
02:45:48,617 --> 02:45:49,617
usually promotes more activity so

4406
02:45:49,617 --> 02:45:51,617
maybe we can bring other

4407
02:45:51,617 --> 02:45:55,617
people in. We are looking at expanding

4408
02:45:55,617 --> 02:45:57,617
the offerings to

4409
02:46:01,617 --> 02:46:03,617
not just bait and tackle. We have not done

4410
02:46:03,617 --> 02:46:04,617
that much before but looking at maybe

4411
02:46:04,617 --> 02:46:04,800
providing a place where people can

4412
02:46:04,800 --> 02:46:06,800
go

4413
02:46:07,617 --> 02:46:07,833
for lunch. Come down for coffee or

4414
02:46:07,833 --> 02:46:09,833
things

4415
02:46:10,617 --> 02:46:13,617
like that. So we are working

4416
02:46:13,617 --> 02:46:13,817
on those items now. Once we get some

4417
02:46:13,817 --> 02:46:15,817
pricing

4418
02:46:16,617 --> 02:46:19,617
we can present it to

4419
02:46:22,617 --> 02:46:22,867
mike and jill and see if they can

4420
02:46:22,867 --> 02:46:24,617
give us a

4421
02:46:24,617 --> 02:46:25,617
idea if they would like to move forward

4422
02:46:25,617 --> 02:46:27,617
or not. We are also working with

4423
02:46:27,617 --> 02:46:28,617
social media. We already started some

4424
02:46:28,617 --> 02:46:30,617
social media campaigns. One that

4425
02:46:30,617 --> 02:46:31,617
has been working out good is what

4426
02:46:31,617 --> 02:46:34,170
we call a blast.

4427
02:46:34,617 --> 02:46:36,617
it is

4428
02:46:38,617 --> 02:46:40,617
pretty important

4429
02:46:40,617 --> 02:46:44,617
that bait is available for fishermen so

4430
02:46:44,617 --> 02:46:46,617
being able to promote that

4431
02:46:46,617 --> 02:46:47,617
before the weekend has been helpful,

4432
02:46:47,617 --> 02:46:49,617
letting them

4433
02:46:50,617 --> 02:46:52,617
know what will be available

4434
02:46:52,617 --> 02:46:56,617
and so far that is working out great.

4435
02:46:56,617 --> 02:46:57,617
right

4436
02:46:57,617 --> 02:46:59,617
now as mike said, the weather has

4437
02:46:59,617 --> 02:47:01,617
helped us.

4438
02:47:01,617 --> 02:47:02,617
one of the reasons we are in this

4439
02:47:02,617 --> 02:47:04,617
situation

4440
02:47:05,617 --> 02:47:06,617
now is because the last year

4441
02:47:06,617 --> 02:47:08,617
is probably the worst weather we have

4442
02:47:08,617 --> 02:47:09,617
had in 100 years and it

4443
02:47:09,617 --> 02:47:11,617
has been difficult. The beginning

4444
02:47:11,617 --> 02:47:14,617
of this year has not

4445
02:47:14,617 --> 02:47:15,617
been better.

4446
02:47:15,617 --> 02:47:17,617
we started to have good weather the

4447
02:47:17,617 --> 02:47:18,617
last couple of

4448
02:47:18,617 --> 02:47:20,617
weeks and it has shown in the performance.

4449
02:47:20,617 --> 02:47:23,617
we are looking forward to

4450
02:47:23,617 --> 02:47:25,617
making it work

4451
02:47:28,617 --> 02:47:29,617
and we are working on these improvements

4452
02:47:29,617 --> 02:47:30,617
and we

4453
02:47:30,617 --> 02:47:34,817
are pretty sure it will work out.

4454
02:47:35,617 --> 02:47:37,617
>> thank you.

4455
02:47:38,617 --> 02:47:41,617
did anybody else want to

4456
02:47:41,617 --> 02:47:41,917
speak?

4457
02:47:41,917 --> 02:47:43,917
>> that is

4458
02:47:44,617 --> 02:47:46,617
probably it.

4459
02:47:47,617 --> 02:47:49,617
>>

4460
02:47:50,617 --> 02:47:52,617
thank you.

4461
02:47:53,617 --> 02:47:55,617
thank you for the

4462
02:47:55,617 --> 02:47:56,617
verbal reports, I know we had a in depth

4463
02:47:56,617 --> 02:47:58,617
discussion last time

4464
02:48:01,617 --> 02:48:02,617
so I appreciate you being here this

4465
02:48:02,617 --> 02:48:05,617
evening to answer our questions.

4466
02:48:05,617 --> 02:48:08,617
would any of the counsel like

4467
02:48:08,617 --> 02:48:11,617
to ask any of their burning questions

4468
02:48:11,617 --> 02:48:13,617
this evening?

4469
02:48:13,617 --> 02:48:17,617
>> sure I have a couple of questions.

4470
02:48:17,617 --> 02:48:19,617
I appreciate your

4471
02:48:19,617 --> 02:48:23,617
report jim and I am excited about getting

4472
02:48:23,617 --> 02:48:25,617
that

4473
02:48:26,617 --> 02:48:27,617
bait shop going. It

4474
02:48:27,617 --> 02:48:29,617
is such a ideal location, you get

4475
02:48:29,617 --> 02:48:31,617
a lot of people

4476
02:48:31,617 --> 02:48:32,617
down there, you get some sandwiches

4477
02:48:32,617 --> 02:48:33,617
going and

4478
02:48:33,617 --> 02:48:35,617
I think there is a lot of potential.

4479
02:48:35,617 --> 02:48:36,617
a couple of coats of paint, I

4480
02:48:36,617 --> 02:48:40,217
think that will definitely make a

4481
02:48:43,617 --> 02:48:44,617
difference. In talking to your financial guy

4482
02:48:44,617 --> 02:48:46,617
last meeting, he

4483
02:48:47,617 --> 02:48:49,617
was talking

4484
02:48:49,617 --> 02:48:54,417
about the slips in the dock were pretty

4485
02:48:55,617 --> 02:48:56,617
financially secure, would you agree?

4486
02:48:56,617 --> 02:48:58,617
>> I would. >>

4487
02:48:58,617 --> 02:48:59,617
that is great, the biggest thing is

4488
02:48:59,617 --> 02:49:01,617
the bait shop

4489
02:49:02,617 --> 02:49:04,617
where we are struggling

4490
02:49:04,617 --> 02:49:05,617
financially to stay afloat, right?

4491
02:49:05,617 --> 02:49:07,617
>>

4492
02:49:08,617 --> 02:49:08,850
that is correct.

4493
02:49:08,850 --> 02:49:10,850
>>

4494
02:49:14,617 --> 02:49:16,617
if we

4495
02:49:17,617 --> 02:49:21,817
did not keep the bait's door open,

4496
02:49:23,617 --> 02:49:26,617
are you saying we would not have

4497
02:49:26,617 --> 02:49:26,867
to pony up the 50 k?

4498
02:49:26,867 --> 02:49:28,867
>> it is

4499
02:49:31,617 --> 02:49:32,617
too late now because we are already behind. We

4500
02:49:32,617 --> 02:49:34,617
will need

4501
02:49:34,617 --> 02:49:35,617
funds regardless but yes, if the date

4502
02:49:35,617 --> 02:49:37,617
store is closed

4503
02:49:37,617 --> 02:49:37,850
the marina could survive on its own.

4504
02:49:37,850 --> 02:49:39,850
>>

4505
02:49:40,617 --> 02:49:41,617
now you are saying the marina is coming

4506
02:49:41,617 --> 02:49:43,617
back,

4507
02:49:43,617 --> 02:49:44,617
we have good weather and we are moving

4508
02:49:44,617 --> 02:49:45,617
in the

4509
02:49:45,617 --> 02:49:45,933
right direction.

4510
02:49:45,933 --> 02:49:47,617
>> yes, honestly

4511
02:49:47,617 --> 02:49:50,170
the biggest issue there

4512
02:49:50,617 --> 02:49:53,617
was the weather, I was not kidding

4513
02:49:53,617 --> 02:49:55,617
when I said last year

4514
02:49:55,617 --> 02:49:56,617
is the worst weather we have had in

4515
02:49:56,617 --> 02:49:58,617
a lot of years

4516
02:49:58,617 --> 02:50:02,617
and if the weather is bad nobody goes fishing.

4517
02:50:02,617 --> 02:50:05,617
that put us in a jam from

4518
02:50:05,617 --> 02:50:07,617
last year.

4519
02:50:07,617 --> 02:50:08,617
the beginning of this year has not

4520
02:50:08,617 --> 02:50:10,617
been better

4521
02:50:10,617 --> 02:50:13,617
so if the weather continues to get

4522
02:50:13,617 --> 02:50:18,417
better, the date store will do better and

4523
02:50:22,617 --> 02:50:23,617
as you know right now we are only

4524
02:50:23,617 --> 02:50:26,617
open three days a week. If the

4525
02:50:26,617 --> 02:50:28,617
weather improves, we can open it seven

4526
02:50:28,617 --> 02:50:29,617
days a week and things will improve.

4527
02:50:29,617 --> 02:50:31,617
>> I would like to take

4528
02:50:31,617 --> 02:50:32,617
a tour of the marina to see the slips

4529
02:50:32,617 --> 02:50:34,617
and the maintenance

4530
02:50:34,617 --> 02:50:35,617
and the kind of work you guys do.

4531
02:50:35,617 --> 02:50:37,617
I am

4532
02:50:38,617 --> 02:50:41,617
sure you have your hands full.

4533
02:50:41,617 --> 02:50:42,617
it is not

4534
02:50:42,617 --> 02:50:44,617
a brand-new set up by any means but

4535
02:50:44,617 --> 02:50:47,617
if you would like to

4536
02:50:49,617 --> 02:50:50,617
give us a tour, if any other counsel

4537
02:50:50,617 --> 02:50:52,617
would like to go I would love

4538
02:50:52,617 --> 02:50:53,617
to go down and take a look. I understand

4539
02:50:53,617 --> 02:50:55,617
that this is

4540
02:50:55,617 --> 02:50:59,817
our baby. The buck stops with us.

4541
02:51:02,617 --> 02:51:04,617
I would love to see things get

4542
02:51:04,617 --> 02:51:05,617
turned around, I would love to see

4543
02:51:05,617 --> 02:51:07,617
you guys cranking

4544
02:51:07,617 --> 02:51:11,617
out a profit as I know you would.

4545
02:51:11,617 --> 02:51:14,617
I will leave the rest of the

4546
02:51:14,617 --> 02:51:17,170
questions to my colleagues.

4547
02:51:17,617 --> 02:51:19,617
>> councilmember ross?

4548
02:51:20,617 --> 02:51:22,617
>> I

4549
02:51:23,617 --> 02:51:25,617
am in favor of this , I do

4550
02:51:25,617 --> 02:51:26,617
not want to see the bait shop closed, I

4551
02:51:26,617 --> 02:51:28,617
understand

4552
02:51:31,617 --> 02:51:32,617
the issues that have occurred, the

4553
02:51:32,617 --> 02:51:34,617
fishing pier and

4554
02:51:35,617 --> 02:51:38,617
the weather so I will be

4555
02:51:38,617 --> 02:51:40,617
voting for it. That is all

4556
02:51:40,617 --> 02:51:44,617
I can say. I will cough if I talk further.

4557
02:51:44,617 --> 02:51:46,617
>> counsel member

4558
02:51:47,617 --> 02:51:49,617
molly, any questions?

4559
02:51:50,617 --> 02:51:52,617
>> good evening

4560
02:51:52,617 --> 02:51:53,617
jim, thank you for being here tonight.

4561
02:51:53,617 --> 02:51:55,617
I

4562
02:51:56,617 --> 02:51:59,617
was pleased to hear your short

4563
02:51:59,617 --> 02:52:01,617
presentation

4564
02:52:02,617 --> 02:52:04,617
on the changes

4565
02:52:05,617 --> 02:52:07,617
you are implementing and you

4566
02:52:07,617 --> 02:52:11,817
will continue to implement to try to

4567
02:52:13,617 --> 02:52:14,617
rebrand the bait store into something

4568
02:52:14,617 --> 02:52:17,617
more than it is and use

4569
02:52:17,617 --> 02:52:19,617
social media and all of the opportunities

4570
02:52:19,617 --> 02:52:20,617
available through the city to do more

4571
02:52:20,617 --> 02:52:22,617
with the bait shop

4572
02:52:22,617 --> 02:52:23,617
than what it has been historically.

4573
02:52:23,617 --> 02:52:25,617
I know

4574
02:52:29,617 --> 02:52:29,883
we met at the waterfront and marina

4575
02:52:29,883 --> 02:52:31,617
subcommittee and

4576
02:52:31,617 --> 02:52:32,617
we discussed these items in the past and

4577
02:52:32,617 --> 02:52:32,817
I have been a proponent of having

4578
02:52:32,817 --> 02:52:34,817
you

4579
02:52:35,617 --> 02:52:35,800
find ways you can bring people down

4580
02:52:35,800 --> 02:52:37,800
to

4581
02:52:38,617 --> 02:52:38,817
the marina through the bait store

4582
02:52:38,817 --> 02:52:40,817
and the

4583
02:52:41,617 --> 02:52:45,817
name of the bait store can be

4584
02:52:46,617 --> 02:52:47,617
changed to something else. You want

4585
02:52:47,617 --> 02:52:49,617
to make sure people

4586
02:52:49,617 --> 02:52:50,617
know that is a place where they can

4587
02:52:50,617 --> 02:52:50,817
go and get something besides bait.

4588
02:52:50,817 --> 02:52:52,817
they

4589
02:52:53,617 --> 02:52:55,617
can get

4590
02:52:56,617 --> 02:52:58,617
beverages, food, other things

4591
02:52:58,617 --> 02:52:59,617
so I was hoping to hear we will take

4592
02:52:59,617 --> 02:53:01,617
full advantage,

4593
02:53:02,617 --> 02:53:04,617
you have a wonderful

4594
02:53:04,617 --> 02:53:05,617
location down there and there is people

4595
02:53:05,617 --> 02:53:08,617
to go down there all the time and

4596
02:53:08,617 --> 02:53:09,617
I note the weather has been poor but I

4597
02:53:09,617 --> 02:53:10,617
am hoping we

4598
02:53:10,617 --> 02:53:12,617
will see better weather in the months

4599
02:53:12,617 --> 02:53:13,117
to come and

4600
02:53:13,117 --> 02:53:15,617
we can have this little treasure of

4601
02:53:15,617 --> 02:53:17,617
a place blossom and

4602
02:53:17,617 --> 02:53:18,617
have more people know about it. So

4603
02:53:18,617 --> 02:53:20,617
I

4604
02:53:21,617 --> 02:53:23,617
know earlier tonight we

4605
02:53:23,617 --> 02:53:27,217
talked about mobile food vendors and

4606
02:53:27,617 --> 02:53:29,617
trying to think outside of

4607
02:53:29,617 --> 02:53:30,617
the box. If you had a mobile food

4608
02:53:30,617 --> 02:53:33,617
vendor down there paying the

4609
02:53:33,617 --> 02:53:34,617
fee and had a

4610
02:53:34,617 --> 02:53:36,617
beer garden you could have a different

4611
02:53:36,617 --> 02:53:39,617
food truck every evening and

4612
02:53:39,617 --> 02:53:40,617
probably do

4613
02:53:40,617 --> 02:53:42,617
really well so continue to think outside

4614
02:53:42,617 --> 02:53:45,617
the box and continue to

4615
02:53:45,617 --> 02:53:48,617
try to find ways to draw

4616
02:53:48,617 --> 02:53:50,617
business into the

4617
02:53:51,617 --> 02:53:52,617
bait store.

4618
02:53:52,617 --> 02:53:54,617
I wanted to be called something else.

4619
02:53:54,617 --> 02:53:57,617
I hate to say bait

4620
02:53:57,617 --> 02:53:58,000
store.

4621
02:53:58,000 --> 02:54:00,400
>> joe came up with

4622
02:54:00,617 --> 02:54:01,617
great ideas

4623
02:54:01,617 --> 02:54:03,617
on different names so that is definitely

4624
02:54:03,617 --> 02:54:04,617
something that

4625
02:54:04,617 --> 02:54:06,617
will happen. We do not want to generalize

4626
02:54:06,617 --> 02:54:09,617
it so much that it

4627
02:54:09,617 --> 02:54:11,617
is just a bait store so we

4628
02:54:11,617 --> 02:54:15,217
will definitely rebrand to make it

4629
02:54:15,617 --> 02:54:18,617
sound like it is more than

4630
02:54:18,617 --> 02:54:20,617
just bait and tackle.

4631
02:54:20,617 --> 02:54:21,617
>> I appreciate that, I think it will go

4632
02:54:21,617 --> 02:54:22,617
a long way to

4633
02:54:22,617 --> 02:54:24,617
draw people in. Continue your efforts,

4634
02:54:24,617 --> 02:54:26,617
much appreciated.

4635
02:54:30,617 --> 02:54:32,617
>> councilmember molly, any

4636
02:54:33,617 --> 02:54:34,170
questions?

4637
02:54:34,170 --> 02:54:36,170
>> no questions, just

4638
02:54:36,617 --> 02:54:39,617
supportive of these newfound efforts

4639
02:54:39,617 --> 02:54:41,617
to hopefully turn this

4640
02:54:41,617 --> 02:54:45,617
ship around. I look forward to seeing progress.

4641
02:54:45,617 --> 02:54:45,850
that is it.

4642
02:54:45,850 --> 02:54:47,850
>>

4643
02:54:48,617 --> 02:54:51,617
I have one question, maybe this is

4644
02:54:51,617 --> 02:54:52,617
for you. One of the concerns I had

4645
02:54:52,617 --> 02:54:56,817
at the last council meeting was with

4646
02:54:57,617 --> 02:54:59,617
respect

4647
02:55:03,617 --> 02:55:05,617
to

4648
02:55:05,617 --> 02:55:06,617
writing a blank check to make up for some

4649
02:55:06,617 --> 02:55:07,617
of the losses

4650
02:55:07,617 --> 02:55:10,617
that occurred without clear investments

4651
02:55:11,617 --> 02:55:15,617
to make changes, some of the things

4652
02:55:15,617 --> 02:55:16,617
you listed sounded great. I am

4653
02:55:16,617 --> 02:55:18,617
excited about the idea of more color

4654
02:55:18,617 --> 02:55:21,617
and more products for sale.

4655
02:55:21,617 --> 02:55:23,617
the resolution and

4656
02:55:24,617 --> 02:55:26,617
the way

4657
02:55:27,617 --> 02:55:29,617
it is worded

4658
02:55:29,617 --> 02:55:32,617
, does not say, here is some funding

4659
02:55:32,617 --> 02:55:36,617
so we can have all of these things

4660
02:55:36,617 --> 02:55:39,617
that need to get done.

4661
02:55:39,617 --> 02:55:42,170
how do we know

4662
02:55:42,617 --> 02:55:43,617
the improvements you

4663
02:55:43,617 --> 02:55:44,617
are mentioning during the meetings

4664
02:55:44,617 --> 02:55:45,617
will actually get implemented? There does

4665
02:55:45,617 --> 02:55:47,617
not appear

4666
02:55:48,617 --> 02:55:49,617
to be

4667
02:55:49,617 --> 02:55:51,617
a connection between the funding and

4668
02:55:51,617 --> 02:55:52,617
the actions. Who will take

4669
02:55:52,617 --> 02:55:54,617
the responsibility of investing in signage

4670
02:55:54,617 --> 02:55:56,617
and inventory which

4671
02:55:56,617 --> 02:56:00,617
costs more money up front? Can you

4672
02:56:00,617 --> 02:56:03,617
talk to that a little bit?

4673
02:56:03,617 --> 02:56:03,917
that can be jim or mike.

4674
02:56:03,917 --> 02:56:05,917
>> I will

4675
02:56:06,617 --> 02:56:09,617
give it a shot. At

4676
02:56:09,617 --> 02:56:11,617
this point,

4677
02:56:11,617 --> 02:56:12,617
the money we are asking for is for

4678
02:56:12,617 --> 02:56:15,617
the operations of the marina.

4679
02:56:15,617 --> 02:56:18,617
just to keep it going. We are not

4680
02:56:18,617 --> 02:56:20,617
asking for

4681
02:56:20,617 --> 02:56:24,217
any money for improvements right now.

4682
02:56:24,617 --> 02:56:26,617
this is just the reserve

4683
02:56:26,617 --> 02:56:27,617
we would keep so we can operate the

4684
02:56:27,617 --> 02:56:30,617
marina. If there are any

4685
02:56:30,617 --> 02:56:31,617
other major expenses, we

4686
02:56:31,617 --> 02:56:33,617
would ask for that. We would come

4687
02:56:33,617 --> 02:56:36,170
up with a plan

4688
02:56:39,617 --> 02:56:41,617
on what those items would be, we

4689
02:56:41,617 --> 02:56:42,617
would give you costs and prioritize what

4690
02:56:42,617 --> 02:56:44,617
we think are

4691
02:56:45,617 --> 02:56:47,617
the things that should be done.

4692
02:56:47,617 --> 02:56:51,617
that is where I think we are. Mike

4693
02:56:51,617 --> 02:56:51,867
can add to that.

4694
02:56:51,867 --> 02:56:53,867
>> yes,

4695
02:56:57,617 --> 02:56:59,617
I think we need to get more granular on

4696
02:56:59,617 --> 02:57:03,617
some of those things and what they cost.

4697
02:57:03,617 --> 02:57:06,170
requested, and the cfo

4698
02:57:06,617 --> 02:57:08,617
presented, his

4699
02:57:09,617 --> 02:57:11,617
estimation,

4700
02:57:12,617 --> 02:57:13,617
kind of a status quo, not

4701
02:57:13,617 --> 02:57:15,617
anticipating major changes, he thought

4702
02:57:15,617 --> 02:57:17,617
it would last 6-9 months

4703
02:57:17,617 --> 02:57:21,217
of operations, honestly we are trying

4704
02:57:21,617 --> 02:57:24,617
to evaluate ways where money can be invested

4705
02:57:24,617 --> 02:57:27,617
that would help long-term so you

4706
02:57:27,617 --> 02:57:29,617
would be

4707
02:57:29,617 --> 02:57:30,617
putting good money into the arena

4708
02:57:30,617 --> 02:57:30,867
that would have more they impact.

4709
02:57:30,867 --> 02:57:32,617
the things

4710
02:57:32,617 --> 02:57:35,617
we are talking about, some of which

4711
02:57:35,617 --> 02:57:36,617
that do not cost any money that have

4712
02:57:36,617 --> 02:57:38,617
artie been

4713
02:57:38,617 --> 02:57:42,217
accomplished, other things will cost money.

4714
02:57:42,617 --> 02:57:45,617
in the past, I will give you a example,

4715
02:57:45,617 --> 02:57:48,617
omar came to the city with

4716
02:57:48,617 --> 02:57:51,170
a request to paint

4717
02:57:52,617 --> 02:57:54,617
the hardware masters building and

4718
02:57:54,617 --> 02:57:54,867
it ended up being just shy of 10,000.

4719
02:57:54,867 --> 02:57:56,867
they built

4720
02:57:57,617 --> 02:57:58,617
up a significant enough reserve,

4721
02:57:58,617 --> 02:58:00,617
they were just asking we sanctioned

4722
02:58:00,617 --> 02:58:03,170
that but did not

4723
02:58:03,617 --> 02:58:04,617
ask

4724
02:58:04,617 --> 02:58:06,617
for the city to provide the money

4725
02:58:06,617 --> 02:58:06,883
because they already had it in the

4726
02:58:06,883 --> 02:58:08,617
reserve. They do

4727
02:58:08,617 --> 02:58:09,617
not have a reserve anymore, they have a

4728
02:58:09,617 --> 02:58:11,617
fund balance of

4729
02:58:12,617 --> 02:58:14,617
1100. If they dip

4730
02:58:15,617 --> 02:58:17,617
below that like I said last

4731
02:58:17,617 --> 02:58:18,617
time, with everything in terms of

4732
02:58:18,617 --> 02:58:21,170
operating expenses that are

4733
02:58:21,617 --> 02:58:23,617
not covered through

4734
02:58:23,617 --> 02:58:24,617
the income generated by the marina will

4735
02:58:24,617 --> 02:58:28,217
fall back on the city with

4736
02:58:28,617 --> 02:58:30,617
the exception of

4737
02:58:30,617 --> 02:58:31,617
the management fee and all of the

4738
02:58:31,617 --> 02:58:33,617
other third-party

4739
02:58:33,617 --> 02:58:36,617
bills they have to pay and the obligations

4740
02:58:36,617 --> 02:58:39,617
they have outlined in the staff report.

4741
02:58:39,617 --> 02:58:44,417
so I think in working with jim and

4742
02:58:46,617 --> 02:58:47,617
looking over the

4743
02:58:47,617 --> 02:58:49,617
cost of some of these things. I do

4744
02:58:49,617 --> 02:58:50,617
not necessarily agree

4745
02:58:50,617 --> 02:58:53,617
with everything. If there is a nominal $3000

4746
02:58:53,617 --> 02:58:55,617
paint job for the bait store or whatever it

4747
02:58:55,617 --> 02:58:57,617
will be called,

4748
02:59:01,617 --> 02:59:02,617
that amount with the 50,000, I

4749
02:59:02,617 --> 02:59:03,617
would argue, with the city's approval we can use the

4750
02:59:03,617 --> 02:59:07,617
money we have to make that change.

4751
02:59:07,617 --> 02:59:09,617
because we all feel that

4752
02:59:09,617 --> 02:59:12,617
more investment into the bait store

4753
02:59:12,617 --> 02:59:16,617
and rebranding can bring about some change.

4754
02:59:16,617 --> 02:59:19,617
the only thing that is

4755
02:59:19,617 --> 02:59:22,170
diluting the 50,000 so we

4756
02:59:22,617 --> 02:59:23,617
need to to come to a

4757
02:59:23,617 --> 02:59:25,617
situation hopefully this summer where

4758
02:59:25,617 --> 02:59:27,617
the bottom line

4759
02:59:28,617 --> 02:59:31,617
at the end of the month is a

4760
02:59:31,617 --> 02:59:34,617
operating profit. Omar, as you saw from

4761
02:59:34,617 --> 02:59:37,617
the ledger that is now a

4762
02:59:37,617 --> 02:59:40,617
attachment in the staff report,

4763
02:59:46,617 --> 02:59:47,617
there were significant operating profits

4764
02:59:47,617 --> 02:59:48,617
and a healthy reserve and money that

4765
02:59:48,617 --> 02:59:49,617
went back to the city as revenue to support

4766
02:59:49,617 --> 02:59:50,617
the

4767
02:59:50,617 --> 02:59:52,617
marina and obviously that is not the case

4768
02:59:52,617 --> 02:59:53,617
anymore. So we do need to give

4769
02:59:53,617 --> 02:59:55,617
it a couple of months, make some changes

4770
02:59:55,617 --> 02:59:57,617
and see what we can accomplish with

4771
02:59:57,617 --> 03:00:01,617
the changes. I know we do have on the

4772
03:00:01,617 --> 03:00:03,617
books, I think it is june 10 or

4773
03:00:03,617 --> 03:00:06,617
12th, there is already a waterfront

4774
03:00:06,617 --> 03:00:09,617
marina subcommittee on the books.

4775
03:00:10,617 --> 03:00:13,617
that is a perfect time

4776
03:00:13,617 --> 03:00:15,617
to come back with a report

4777
03:00:15,617 --> 03:00:16,617
to the subcommittee. Reporting back

4778
03:00:16,617 --> 03:00:18,617
to

4779
03:00:19,617 --> 03:00:22,170
the council on changes

4780
03:00:22,617 --> 03:00:24,617
being made. Have those

4781
03:00:24,617 --> 03:00:25,617
changes been made? Again, some of

4782
03:00:25,617 --> 03:00:27,617
the changes

4783
03:00:28,617 --> 03:00:31,170
that have been done

4784
03:00:31,617 --> 03:00:33,617
,

4785
03:00:37,617 --> 03:00:38,617
jim may have

4786
03:00:38,617 --> 03:00:40,617
a update today but that had not all

4787
03:00:40,617 --> 03:00:42,617
been done as of the time we wrote the

4788
03:00:42,617 --> 03:00:43,617
report last week. So those are things

4789
03:00:43,617 --> 03:00:46,170
that will save money

4790
03:00:46,617 --> 03:00:49,617
actually. We are also looking at ways

4791
03:00:49,617 --> 03:00:52,617
to make more money in the marina

4792
03:00:52,617 --> 03:00:54,617
retail operation

4793
03:00:55,617 --> 03:00:58,617
to not call it the bait store

4794
03:00:58,617 --> 03:00:58,850
anymore.

4795
03:00:58,850 --> 03:01:00,850
>>

4796
03:01:01,617 --> 03:01:02,617
a subcommittee meeting

4797
03:01:02,617 --> 03:01:04,617
maybe a good time for a tour of the

4798
03:01:04,617 --> 03:01:07,170
marina. Maybe we can

4799
03:01:07,617 --> 03:01:08,617
list that

4800
03:01:08,617 --> 03:01:10,617
is a open house or something like

4801
03:01:10,617 --> 03:01:13,170
we have done in

4802
03:01:13,617 --> 03:01:13,850
the past.

4803
03:01:13,850 --> 03:01:15,617
>>

4804
03:01:15,617 --> 03:01:16,617
if the yacht club has space we can

4805
03:01:16,617 --> 03:01:19,617
host the meeting down there. Something

4806
03:01:19,617 --> 03:01:19,850
like that.

4807
03:01:19,850 --> 03:01:21,850
>>

4808
03:01:22,617 --> 03:01:25,617
let's see. I will open

4809
03:01:25,617 --> 03:01:28,617
this up to public comments.

4810
03:01:28,617 --> 03:01:30,617
we will

4811
03:01:31,617 --> 03:01:33,617
come back to last

4812
03:01:33,617 --> 03:01:34,617
comments from counsel. Anybody in

4813
03:01:34,617 --> 03:01:34,850
the chambers?

4814
03:01:34,850 --> 03:01:36,850
>>

4815
03:01:38,617 --> 03:01:40,617
there are still attendees, anybody

4816
03:01:40,617 --> 03:01:43,617
here that wishes to make a comment?

4817
03:01:43,617 --> 03:01:46,617
I have no interested parties.

4818
03:01:46,617 --> 03:01:48,617
I will move to zoom. If you

4819
03:01:48,617 --> 03:01:49,617
would like to make a comment please

4820
03:01:49,617 --> 03:01:51,617
use the raise

4821
03:01:52,617 --> 03:01:54,617
hand feature.

4822
03:01:55,617 --> 03:01:55,850
I have no hands.

4823
03:01:55,850 --> 03:01:57,850
>>

4824
03:02:00,617 --> 03:02:01,617
bringing it back to counsel then,

4825
03:02:01,617 --> 03:02:04,170
I want to convey

4826
03:02:04,617 --> 03:02:07,617
my total support in investing

4827
03:02:07,617 --> 03:02:08,617
in the

4828
03:02:08,617 --> 03:02:10,617
retail establishment at the marina.

4829
03:02:10,617 --> 03:02:12,617
I support

4830
03:02:14,617 --> 03:02:16,617
city investment were actions to invest

4831
03:02:16,617 --> 03:02:19,617
in all of this and

4832
03:02:19,617 --> 03:02:21,617
city involvement.

4833
03:02:21,617 --> 03:02:25,217
I am still not completely convinced

4834
03:02:27,617 --> 03:02:28,617
about the transfer of funds, like

4835
03:02:28,617 --> 03:02:31,617
I said I am interested

4836
03:02:31,617 --> 03:02:33,617
in making

4837
03:02:33,617 --> 03:02:34,617
investments I am just concerned about the

4838
03:02:34,617 --> 03:02:36,617
transfer but

4839
03:02:37,617 --> 03:02:38,617
I will open

4840
03:02:38,617 --> 03:02:40,617
this up to the rest of my colleagues to

4841
03:02:40,617 --> 03:02:43,617
see how they feel about

4842
03:02:43,617 --> 03:02:43,850
this item.

4843
03:02:43,850 --> 03:02:45,617
>>

4844
03:02:45,617 --> 03:02:49,617

4846
03:02:52,617 --> 03:02:55,617
resolution. We will not call

4847
03:02:55,617 --> 03:02:58,170
it a bait shop.

4848
03:02:58,617 --> 03:03:00,617
making a

4849

the city council of approving a loan

4851
03:03:04,617 --> 03:03:07,170

4852

general fund to the marine

4853
03:03:10,617 --> 03:03:13,617

4854
03:03:13,617 --> 03:03:16,170

the retail establishment at

4857
03:03:25,617 --> 03:03:27,617
the marina. Do I have

4858
03:03:27,617 --> 03:03:28,233

thank you for the

4872
03:03:59,617 --> 03:04:01,617
conversation and mike we can discuss

4873
03:04:01,617 --> 03:04:01,800
more about a war or something down

>> sure. >> I think

4879
03:04:16,617 --> 03:04:19,617
that is the last item.

4880
03:04:19,617 --> 03:04:22,617
that is it. I put us out

4881
03:04:22,617 --> 03:04:23,617
of order

4882
03:04:23,617 --> 03:04:28,417
so I have to double check. The next

4883
03:04:32,617 --> 03:04:33,617
item

4884
03:04:33,617 --> 03:04:33,867
is from the chief of police.

4885
03:04:33,867 --> 03:04:34,617
>> I

4886
03:04:34,617 --> 03:04:35,617
have three brief updates, the first

4887
03:04:35,617 --> 03:04:38,617
one, the local hazard mitigation plan

4888
03:04:38,617 --> 03:04:40,617
was presented

4889
03:04:50,617 --> 03:04:51,617
with those cities being in

4890
03:04:51,617 --> 03:04:52,617
annex and it was submitted to the

4891
03:04:52,617 --> 03:04:53,550
state and the state rejected it, they wanted

4892
03:04:53,550 --> 03:04:54,100
a

4893
03:04:54,100 --> 03:04:54,617
additional public comment opportunity

4894
03:04:54,617 --> 03:04:56,617
so we are pushing that information

4895
03:04:56,617 --> 03:04:57,617
out and on the screen

4896
03:04:57,617 --> 03:04:59,617
it will show a qr code so you will

4897
03:04:59,617 --> 03:05:00,617
see this flyer up at a

4898
03:05:00,617 --> 03:05:01,617
lot of different places including

4899
03:05:01,617 --> 03:05:02,617
digital signage in front of city hall,

4900
03:05:02,617 --> 03:05:03,617
it is a

4901
03:05:03,617 --> 03:05:07,217
opportunity for residents to add comments

4902
03:05:07,617 --> 03:05:09,617
regarding the hazard mitigation plan.

4903
03:05:09,617 --> 03:05:10,617
it is a short window that they reopened

4904
03:05:10,617 --> 03:05:11,617
through the end of this month and then

4905
03:05:11,617 --> 03:05:12,617
it

4906
03:05:12,617 --> 03:05:14,617
close again. If you follow the link they

4907
03:05:14,617 --> 03:05:16,617
have the survey in a multitude

4908
03:05:16,617 --> 03:05:19,617
of different languages. The second,

4909
03:05:20,617 --> 03:05:22,617
when --

4910
03:05:22,617 --> 03:05:23,617
last presented there were to counsel

4911
03:05:23,617 --> 03:05:25,617
questions,

4912
03:05:26,617 --> 03:05:29,617
one regarding the reentry team

4913
03:05:30,617 --> 03:05:32,617
that works out of the jail, they did

4914
03:05:32,617 --> 03:05:33,617
get funding for three years

4915
03:05:33,617 --> 03:05:35,617
beginning july 1, 2024, they would

4916
03:05:35,617 --> 03:05:38,170
do different services related

4917
03:05:38,617 --> 03:05:41,617
to folks being released from the jail,

4918
03:05:41,617 --> 03:05:43,617
they will be

4919
03:05:44,617 --> 03:05:46,617
at

4920
03:05:47,617 --> 03:05:51,217
the jail and it will be

4921
03:05:51,617 --> 03:05:53,617
providing services to all reentry

4922
03:05:53,617 --> 03:05:54,617
to the population. There was a

4923
03:05:54,617 --> 03:05:56,617
question about funding that was handed out,

4924
03:05:56,617 --> 03:05:59,617
they are unable to determine how

4925
03:05:59,617 --> 03:06:01,617
much but

4926
03:06:02,617 --> 03:06:03,617
they wanted

4927
03:06:03,617 --> 03:06:05,617
you to know they offer up to 5000

4928
03:06:05,617 --> 03:06:05,817
per individual and all recent exits

4929
03:06:05,817 --> 03:06:06,617
were

4930
03:06:06,617 --> 03:06:08,617
referred to the program. They indicated

4931
03:06:08,617 --> 03:06:10,617
in the future they can provide updates

4932
03:06:10,617 --> 03:06:11,617
from successes from the program but they

4933
03:06:11,617 --> 03:06:12,617
do not

4934
03:06:12,617 --> 03:06:14,617
have the dollar amount. The last one,

4935
03:06:14,617 --> 03:06:16,617
you asked

4936
03:06:17,617 --> 03:06:19,617
for direction regarding

4937
03:06:22,617 --> 03:06:23,617
the pedestrian bridge over the railroad and

4938
03:06:23,617 --> 03:06:25,617
we talked about coming back with

4939
03:06:25,617 --> 03:06:26,617
a ordinance, instead of coming back

4940
03:06:26,617 --> 03:06:27,617
with a ordinance on the 15th

4941
03:06:27,617 --> 03:06:29,617
we will come back with more significant

4942
03:06:29,617 --> 03:06:31,617
details and that

4943
03:06:32,617 --> 03:06:32,800
has to do with timing for publication

4944
03:06:32,800 --> 03:06:34,800
as

4945
03:06:35,617 --> 03:06:37,617
well as the fact that the

4946
03:06:37,617 --> 03:06:38,617
supreme court is deliberating on a case

4947
03:06:38,617 --> 03:06:40,617
that can

4948
03:06:40,617 --> 03:06:42,617
impact that ordinance so we are trying

4949
03:06:42,617 --> 03:06:44,617
to follow it and time it appropriately.

4950
03:06:44,617 --> 03:06:46,617
that concludes my

4951
03:06:47,617 --> 03:06:47,933
remarks, tanks.

4952
03:06:47,933 --> 03:06:49,933
>> thank you

4953
03:06:50,617 --> 03:06:53,617
so much. Next item is updates from

4954
03:06:53,617 --> 03:06:55,617
the city

4955
03:06:56,617 --> 03:06:56,983
manager. Any updates for us?

4956
03:06:56,983 --> 03:06:58,983
>> thankfully no.

4957
03:06:59,617 --> 03:07:01,617
>> is there anything

4958
03:07:02,617 --> 03:07:03,617
about the pbf

4959
03:07:03,617 --> 03:07:06,617
energy refinery update from steve

4960
03:07:07,617 --> 03:07:08,617
this evening beyond what is listed

4961
03:07:08,617 --> 03:07:10,617
in the staff

4962
03:07:11,617 --> 03:07:11,883
report?

4963
03:07:11,883 --> 03:07:13,883
>> no.

4964
03:07:14,617 --> 03:07:17,617
I know this safety and culture assessment

4965
03:07:17,617 --> 03:07:19,617
is going to be

4966
03:07:19,617 --> 03:07:23,617
coming out very soon if not already.

4967
03:07:23,617 --> 03:07:26,617
we will be on the lookout for that.

4968
03:07:26,617 --> 03:07:29,617
I know that will be a topic of

4969
03:07:29,617 --> 03:07:33,817
great interest for counsel in the community.

4970
03:07:35,617 --> 03:07:37,617
that is going to be very soon

4971
03:07:37,617 --> 03:07:38,617
if not already something that will be

4972
03:07:38,617 --> 03:07:40,617
available for

4973
03:07:41,617 --> 03:07:43,617
review and comment.

4974
03:07:44,617 --> 03:07:46,617
>> I hope we can get them

4975
03:07:46,617 --> 03:07:47,617
on the agenda to come and report on

4976
03:07:47,617 --> 03:07:49,617
that. Rather

4977
03:07:50,617 --> 03:07:50,800
than as generally making comments,

4978
03:07:50,800 --> 03:07:52,617
it

4979
03:07:52,617 --> 03:07:53,617
would be nice to have face time with

4980
03:07:53,617 --> 03:07:55,617
those folks.

4981
03:07:56,617 --> 03:07:59,617
great, thank you so much.

4982
03:07:59,617 --> 03:08:01,617
moving on, there is

4983
03:08:01,617 --> 03:08:03,617
no appointments to commission or subcommittee report,

4984
03:08:03,617 --> 03:08:05,617
the only thing left is comments from

4985
03:08:05,617 --> 03:08:07,617
city council. I

4986
03:08:08,617 --> 03:08:10,617
started with

4987
03:08:10,617 --> 03:08:11,617
councilmember howard for every comment

4988
03:08:11,617 --> 03:08:14,617
so let's start with the

4989
03:08:14,617 --> 03:08:14,850
vice mayor.

4990
03:08:14,850 --> 03:08:16,850
>>

4991
03:08:23,617 --> 03:08:24,150
--

4992
03:08:24,150 --> 03:08:27,750
>> debbie I will have you adjourn

4993
03:08:28,617 --> 03:08:29,617
the meeting tonight so if you have any

4994
03:08:29,617 --> 03:08:31,617
additional counsel comments.

4995
03:08:31,617 --> 03:08:32,617
>> just real quick a number of us

4996
03:08:32,617 --> 03:08:34,617
were at golden hills

4997
03:08:34,617 --> 03:08:38,217
park saturday to celebrate arbor day.

4998
03:08:38,617 --> 03:08:40,617
I want to

4999
03:08:41,617 --> 03:08:43,617
thank the

5000
03:08:43,617 --> 03:08:44,617
parks and rec department, the public works department

5001
03:08:44,617 --> 03:08:46,617
and all of the citizens that

5002
03:08:46,617 --> 03:08:47,617
showed up and everybody from the city that

5003
03:08:47,617 --> 03:08:49,617
helped. Lauren

5004
03:08:49,617 --> 03:08:53,617
was there and so many people were there.

5005
03:08:53,617 --> 03:08:56,617
eve was there. Her children

5006
03:08:56,617 --> 03:08:59,617
were there as participants and

5007
03:08:59,617 --> 03:09:02,617
they did some poetry reading.

5008
03:09:02,617 --> 03:09:04,617
it

5009
03:09:04,617 --> 03:09:05,617
was a amazing event. I am sure my colleagues

5010
03:09:05,617 --> 03:09:07,617
will comment and

5011
03:09:07,617 --> 03:09:08,617
we planted 10 trees in the park and

5012
03:09:08,617 --> 03:09:11,617
I want to shout out

5013
03:09:11,617 --> 03:09:11,867
to white, the director of 100 thousand

5014
03:09:11,867 --> 03:09:13,867
trees for

5015
03:09:14,617 --> 03:09:16,617
humanity who

5016
03:09:16,617 --> 03:09:17,617
donated 100 seedlings and he was there

5017
03:09:17,617 --> 03:09:19,617
helping us

5018
03:09:19,617 --> 03:09:20,617
plant the trees along with arborists

5019
03:09:20,617 --> 03:09:22,617
and

5020
03:09:23,617 --> 03:09:26,617
to others. It was a

5021
03:09:26,617 --> 03:09:28,617
great event. It was fun, it was a

5022
03:09:28,617 --> 03:09:29,617
beautiful day and we helped humanity

5023
03:09:29,617 --> 03:09:31,617
by planting trees

5024
03:09:32,617 --> 03:09:35,617
that will be there long after we are

5025
03:09:35,617 --> 03:09:37,617
all gone. With

5026
03:09:38,617 --> 03:09:41,617
that I will pass it on.

5027
03:09:41,617 --> 03:09:44,617
>> thank you very much mayor.

5028
03:09:44,617 --> 03:09:46,617
I

5029
03:09:46,617 --> 03:09:47,617
also want to acknowledge and thank

5030
03:09:47,617 --> 03:09:49,617
all of

5031
03:09:50,617 --> 03:09:53,617
the volunteers, the city staff

5032
03:09:53,617 --> 03:09:56,617
and community members who turned out

5033
03:09:56,617 --> 03:09:58,617
for all

5034
03:09:59,617 --> 03:10:02,617
of the events we have had in the past

5035
03:10:02,617 --> 03:10:05,617
10 days or so, we had

5036
03:10:05,617 --> 03:10:07,617
the john

5037
03:10:08,617 --> 03:10:09,617
mayer earth day birthday

5038
03:10:09,617 --> 03:10:12,617
celebration which was a resounding

5039
03:10:12,617 --> 03:10:14,617
success. I was excited to see so

5040
03:10:14,617 --> 03:10:15,617
many people turn up for our arbor

5041
03:10:15,617 --> 03:10:17,617
day

5042
03:10:18,617 --> 03:10:20,617
weekend park beautification

5043
03:10:20,617 --> 03:10:21,617
that took place not only in golden

5044
03:10:21,617 --> 03:10:23,617
hills

5045
03:10:24,617 --> 03:10:26,617
but also we had

5046
03:10:26,617 --> 03:10:29,617
part two the following day at hidden

5047
03:10:29,617 --> 03:10:30,617
lakes park where we had nearly 2 dozen

5048
03:10:30,617 --> 03:10:32,617
volunteers

5049
03:10:33,617 --> 03:10:36,170
show up to help

5050
03:10:36,617 --> 03:10:38,617
remove a excess

5051
03:10:39,617 --> 03:10:40,617
of 70 pounds of trash in

5052
03:10:40,617 --> 03:10:42,617
and around hidden lakes park and the

5053
03:10:42,617 --> 03:10:44,617
surrounding open space.

5054
03:10:45,617 --> 03:10:47,617
it

5055
03:10:48,617 --> 03:10:51,170
is quite a lot.

5056
03:10:51,617 --> 03:10:52,617
a

5057
03:10:52,617 --> 03:10:53,617
certain councilmember may or may not

5058
03:10:53,617 --> 03:10:54,617
have fallen into the lake briefly

5059
03:10:54,617 --> 03:10:56,617
to

5060
03:10:56,617 --> 03:11:01,417
retrieve some trash but let it be said

5061
03:11:01,617 --> 03:11:03,617
that said councilmember does not go

5062
03:11:03,617 --> 03:11:06,170
above and beyond the

5063
03:11:06,617 --> 03:11:08,617
call of duty.

5064
03:11:11,617 --> 03:11:12,617
thankfully only up to my knees. Again

5065
03:11:12,617 --> 03:11:14,617
I

5066
03:11:15,617 --> 03:11:17,617
do want to thank everyone

5067
03:11:17,617 --> 03:11:21,617
who helped with all of those events.

5068
03:11:21,617 --> 03:11:23,617
it is great

5069
03:11:23,617 --> 03:11:27,617
to see the community engagement we got

5070
03:11:27,617 --> 03:11:30,617
and I really appreciated that.

5071
03:11:30,617 --> 03:11:31,617
on a more serious

5072
03:11:31,617 --> 03:11:33,617
note I just want to bring forward

5073
03:11:33,617 --> 03:11:36,170
and I think this

5074
03:11:36,617 --> 03:11:38,617
may be something

5075
03:11:39,617 --> 03:11:40,617
we talk about at

5076
03:11:40,617 --> 03:11:42,617
a future council meeting but it is

5077
03:11:42,617 --> 03:11:45,617
no secret that some of our residents

5078
03:11:45,617 --> 03:11:47,617
are having challenges

5079
03:11:48,617 --> 03:11:51,170
with getting their property

5080
03:11:51,617 --> 03:11:53,617
insurance renewed because

5081
03:11:54,617 --> 03:11:55,617
of the challenges with

5082
03:11:55,617 --> 03:11:57,617
the insurance market being what it

5083
03:11:57,617 --> 03:11:59,617
is. I actually

5084
03:12:00,617 --> 03:12:03,617
talked to 2-3 residents over the weekend that

5085
03:12:03,617 --> 03:12:06,617
came up to me and expressed

5086
03:12:06,617 --> 03:12:08,617
that concern . Obviously

5087
03:12:09,617 --> 03:12:12,617
that is something that is

5088
03:12:12,617 --> 03:12:14,617
being discussed in sacramento

5089
03:12:14,617 --> 03:12:18,617
right now, I know the state lawmakers

5090
03:12:18,617 --> 03:12:21,617
are hopefully working on a solution

5091
03:12:21,617 --> 03:12:24,617
to help alleviate the issue but just

5092
03:12:24,617 --> 03:12:26,617
food for thought, one of

5093
03:12:26,617 --> 03:12:29,617
the reasons why folks are getting denied

5094
03:12:29,617 --> 03:12:33,217
is because of issues surrounding fire

5095
03:12:33,617 --> 03:12:35,617
hazards or perceived

5096
03:12:36,617 --> 03:12:38,617
fire hazards, you have excess

5097
03:12:38,617 --> 03:12:42,617
weeds were trees around your home and

5098
03:12:42,617 --> 03:12:44,617
it may not be right in your

5099
03:12:44,617 --> 03:12:45,617
backyard, it may be in the surrounding

5100
03:12:45,617 --> 03:12:48,170
area and some of

5101
03:12:48,617 --> 03:12:51,617
those areas are areas that could potentially be

5102
03:12:51,617 --> 03:12:54,617
in the city and that got

5103
03:12:54,617 --> 03:12:58,617
me thinking, I know we have a good

5104
03:12:58,617 --> 03:12:59,617
partnership, we sent out a newsletter

5105
03:12:59,617 --> 03:13:00,617
today highlighting the partnership

5106
03:13:00,617 --> 03:13:02,617
we have with

5107
03:13:03,617 --> 03:13:06,170
con fire, helping to

5108
03:13:06,617 --> 03:13:08,617
clean out

5109
03:13:10,617 --> 03:13:12,617
areas with excess weeds but it is

5110
03:13:12,617 --> 03:13:14,617
a good reminder that

5111
03:13:14,617 --> 03:13:15,617
we really --to the extent we have some

5112
03:13:15,617 --> 03:13:16,617
things that

5113
03:13:16,617 --> 03:13:20,817
are under our control to help alleviate

5114
03:13:21,617 --> 03:13:24,617
that issue. We should try.

5115
03:13:24,617 --> 03:13:26,617
I know we are doing it but

5116
03:13:26,617 --> 03:13:31,417
I want to be a short the residence

5117
03:13:33,617 --> 03:13:34,617
that came up to me over the

5118
03:13:34,617 --> 03:13:36,617
weekend at these events that I would

5119
03:13:36,617 --> 03:13:39,617
bring this issue up to all of you.

5120
03:13:39,617 --> 03:13:42,170
to our staff and

5121
03:13:42,617 --> 03:13:45,617
just note that is a concern we hear

5122
03:13:45,617 --> 03:13:48,617
and I think it warrants further attention.

5123
03:13:48,617 --> 03:13:50,617
with that

5124
03:13:51,617 --> 03:13:51,850
I will pass it on.

5125
03:13:51,850 --> 03:13:53,850
>>

5126
03:13:56,617 --> 03:13:57,617
mike can we get that on a upcoming agenda?

5127
03:13:57,617 --> 03:14:00,170
we talked about in

5128
03:14:00,617 --> 03:14:02,617
the past.

5129
03:14:03,617 --> 03:14:05,617
I thought it

5130
03:14:05,617 --> 03:14:06,617
may be on the agenda in the next couple of

5131
03:14:06,617 --> 03:14:08,617
months,

5132
03:14:09,617 --> 03:14:09,850
can you speak to that at all?

5133
03:14:09,850 --> 03:14:11,617
>>

5134
03:14:11,617 --> 03:14:12,617
yes there was a significant delay in

5135
03:14:12,617 --> 03:14:14,617
the local

5136
03:14:15,617 --> 03:14:15,800
resource area maps which are the ones

5137
03:14:15,800 --> 03:14:17,800
we

5138
03:14:18,617 --> 03:14:20,617
have to adopt. Their process

5139
03:14:20,617 --> 03:14:23,617
with that from recent conversations

5140
03:14:23,617 --> 03:14:24,617
we had with the fire chief and staff and

5141
03:14:24,617 --> 03:14:26,617
that

5142
03:14:27,617 --> 03:14:30,617
is a calfire thing, not

5143
03:14:30,617 --> 03:14:31,617
a local con

5144
03:14:31,617 --> 03:14:33,617
fire thing, that process was delayed because

5145
03:14:33,617 --> 03:14:36,617
they had a significant issue

5146
03:14:36,617 --> 03:14:38,617
getting the state

5147
03:14:38,617 --> 03:14:39,617
resource areas adopted, they finally

5148
03:14:39,617 --> 03:14:42,170
did that so we

5149
03:14:42,617 --> 03:14:45,617
will pick that up and find

5150
03:14:45,617 --> 03:14:48,617
out where that is in the

5151
03:14:48,617 --> 03:14:51,617
process because --we learned this

5152
03:14:51,617 --> 03:14:53,617
a couple of years ago, those maps,

5153
03:14:53,617 --> 03:14:59,170
that needs to be part of a public process

5154
03:14:59,617 --> 03:15:00,617
for all of the affected area residents

5155
03:15:00,617 --> 03:15:02,617
to participate in.

5156
03:15:03,617 --> 03:15:06,617
these are not town halls

5157
03:15:06,617 --> 03:15:09,617
held specifically at each jurisdiction.

5158
03:15:09,617 --> 03:15:11,617
there is education

5159
03:15:12,617 --> 03:15:14,617
and information

5160
03:15:14,617 --> 03:15:15,617
but really it is a county board of

5161
03:15:15,617 --> 03:15:17,617
supervisors engagement.

5162
03:15:18,617 --> 03:15:21,617
when the official public comment period

5163
03:15:21,617 --> 03:15:23,617
will be.

5164
03:15:24,617 --> 03:15:24,867
to the extent that we can get ahead

5165
03:15:24,867 --> 03:15:25,617
of it and

5166
03:15:25,617 --> 03:15:27,617
provide additional information on

5167
03:15:27,617 --> 03:15:30,617
that. Also regarding the insurance issue.

5168
03:15:30,617 --> 03:15:32,617
I

5169
03:15:32,617 --> 03:15:35,617
think we may have more insight into that.

5170
03:15:35,617 --> 03:15:39,617
it is something that is not unique

5171
03:15:39,617 --> 03:15:41,617
to martinez by any stretch,

5172
03:15:41,617 --> 03:15:42,617
a lot of our neighbors in places like

5173
03:15:42,617 --> 03:15:43,617
lafayette

5174
03:15:43,617 --> 03:15:45,617
have struggled with this issue as

5175
03:15:45,617 --> 03:15:47,617
well, with lack

5176
03:15:48,617 --> 03:15:50,617
of homeowner

5177
03:15:51,617 --> 03:15:53,617
insurance policy renewals.

5178
03:15:54,617 --> 03:15:57,617
so I do not want

5179
03:15:57,617 --> 03:16:00,617
to commit to the next couple of meetings,

5180
03:16:00,617 --> 03:16:03,617
I would like to have a

5181
03:16:03,617 --> 03:16:06,617
subsequent talk on this and if there

5182
03:16:06,617 --> 03:16:10,617
is a opportunity to invite some of our

5183
03:16:10,617 --> 03:16:11,617
partners in fire

5184
03:16:11,617 --> 03:16:13,617
that may be able to give insight in this,

5185
03:16:13,617 --> 03:16:16,617
I would like to engage them.

5186
03:16:16,617 --> 03:16:17,617
this process

5187
03:16:17,617 --> 03:16:19,617
with the maps, it has been delayed more

5188
03:16:19,617 --> 03:16:21,617
than they thought.

5189
03:16:22,617 --> 03:16:25,617
even through the state resource

5190
03:16:26,617 --> 03:16:28,617
map adoption, it just happened in

5191
03:16:28,617 --> 03:16:28,850
the last couple of months.

5192
03:16:28,850 --> 03:16:29,617
>>

5193
03:16:29,617 --> 03:16:32,617
I just wanted councilmember molly

5194
03:16:32,617 --> 03:16:34,617
to know I obviously assumed it would

5195
03:16:34,617 --> 03:16:37,617
be on the calendar by now,

5196
03:16:37,617 --> 03:16:40,617
so at least, if we do get

5197
03:16:40,617 --> 03:16:41,617
these types of questions

5198
03:16:41,617 --> 03:16:43,617
again in the future, we can say it

5199
03:16:43,617 --> 03:16:44,617
is on our

5200
03:16:44,617 --> 03:16:50,170
radar and we will address it at some point.

5201
03:16:52,617 --> 03:16:53,617
months is probably the

5202
03:16:53,617 --> 03:16:53,950
more appropriate way to word it.

5203
03:16:53,950 --> 03:16:55,617
>> that would

5204
03:16:55,617 --> 03:16:55,850
be the target.

5205
03:16:55,850 --> 03:16:57,850
>>

5206
03:16:58,617 --> 03:17:00,617
add

5207
03:17:01,617 --> 03:17:04,170
to it, councilmember molly,

5208
03:17:04,617 --> 03:17:05,617
the citizens and what they

5209
03:17:05,617 --> 03:17:07,617
can do, I know in past years I believe

5210
03:17:07,617 --> 03:17:09,617
it is the contra

5211
03:17:09,617 --> 03:17:10,617
costa county fire protection district

5212
03:17:10,617 --> 03:17:12,617
had

5213
03:17:12,617 --> 03:17:16,617
grants that they would give out to neighbors

5214
03:17:16,617 --> 03:17:18,617
if they came together in the community,

5215
03:17:18,617 --> 03:17:19,617
they could get money to help mitigate

5216
03:17:19,617 --> 03:17:21,617
some

5217
03:17:22,617 --> 03:17:24,617
of the vegetation needs like

5218
03:17:24,617 --> 03:17:28,617
dead trees and things like that because

5219
03:17:28,617 --> 03:17:29,617
they are costly to remove

5220
03:17:29,617 --> 03:17:31,617
and there were community grants they were

5221
03:17:31,617 --> 03:17:34,170
using to help citizens

5222
03:17:36,617 --> 03:17:37,617
reduce fire hazards within their yards

5223
03:17:37,617 --> 03:17:40,170
but they had to

5224
03:17:40,617 --> 03:17:43,617
come together as a partnership

5225
03:17:43,617 --> 03:17:45,617
to use the funds

5226
03:17:45,617 --> 03:17:46,617
so that maybe something that may be

5227
03:17:46,617 --> 03:17:48,617
available again this

5228
03:17:49,617 --> 03:17:51,617
year because

5229
03:17:52,617 --> 03:17:53,617
I am sure people would want to take advantage

5230
03:17:53,617 --> 03:17:54,617
of that especially if they have costly

5231
03:17:54,617 --> 03:17:55,617
removals like trees and shrubs and

5232
03:17:55,617 --> 03:17:57,617
things

5233
03:17:58,617 --> 03:17:58,850
like that.

5234
03:17:58,850 --> 03:18:00,850
>>

5235
03:18:01,617 --> 03:18:03,617
thank you, councilmember ross.

5236
03:18:03,617 --> 03:18:07,217
>> did somebody say plant trees? Yes.

5237
03:18:07,617 --> 03:18:10,170
interesting how we can

5238
03:18:10,617 --> 03:18:13,617
go from one to another,

5239
03:18:13,617 --> 03:18:14,617
maybe plant trees in

5240
03:18:14,617 --> 03:18:16,617
a smarter way but on the insurance

5241
03:18:16,617 --> 03:18:19,617
thing, it is not just vegetation.

5242
03:18:19,617 --> 03:18:22,617
gregory gardens it is a

5243
03:18:22,617 --> 03:18:23,617
area where policies are being

5244
03:18:23,617 --> 03:18:25,617
canceled. You would not necessarily

5245
03:18:25,617 --> 03:18:28,170
think of the area

5246
03:18:28,617 --> 03:18:31,170
as a forested area.

5247
03:18:31,617 --> 03:18:34,170
the different companies have

5248
03:18:34,617 --> 03:18:36,617
different algorithms.

5249
03:18:36,617 --> 03:18:37,617
sometimes it is not necessarily the vegetation

5250
03:18:37,617 --> 03:18:39,617
around

5251
03:18:40,617 --> 03:18:43,617
a certain home, it is

5252
03:18:43,617 --> 03:18:46,170
if they have 4-5

5253
03:18:46,617 --> 03:18:49,617
million dollar homes in a row,

5254
03:18:49,617 --> 03:18:51,617
they will take out

5255
03:18:51,617 --> 03:18:52,617
two of them to mitigate the risk.

5256
03:18:52,617 --> 03:18:54,617
so it is

5257
03:18:54,617 --> 03:18:55,617
not all about trees and vegetation,

5258
03:18:55,617 --> 03:18:58,617
there are homes in martinez that are

5259
03:18:58,617 --> 03:19:00,617
threatened to be canceled

5260
03:19:00,617 --> 03:19:01,617
that do not have a tree for blocks

5261
03:19:01,617 --> 03:19:03,617
around them.

5262
03:19:07,617 --> 03:19:09,617
there

5263
03:19:09,617 --> 03:19:10,617
is no leaf that can fall on the property

5264
03:19:10,617 --> 03:19:13,617
that are getting canceled, so

5265
03:19:13,617 --> 03:19:16,170
the algorithms are designed

5266
03:19:16,617 --> 03:19:18,617
in ways that

5267
03:19:19,617 --> 03:19:22,617
are not just vegetation. It

5268
03:19:22,617 --> 03:19:25,170
affects sales, you cannot

5269
03:19:25,617 --> 03:19:26,617
purchase

5270
03:19:26,617 --> 03:19:28,617
a home without getting insurance or get

5271
03:19:28,617 --> 03:19:28,817
a mortgage without insurance. One of

5272
03:19:28,817 --> 03:19:30,617
the

5273
03:19:30,617 --> 03:19:35,417
things I learned a year ago is that

5274
03:19:37,617 --> 03:19:39,617
this

5275
03:19:40,617 --> 03:19:42,617
will get fixed in 25

5276
03:19:42,617 --> 03:19:43,617
or 26 and most of it will be legislatively

5277
03:19:43,617 --> 03:19:45,617
driven because

5278
03:19:46,617 --> 03:19:46,833
california has regulations and requirements other

5279
03:19:46,833 --> 03:19:48,833
states

5280
03:19:49,617 --> 03:19:51,617
do not have, it has

5281
03:19:51,617 --> 03:19:52,617
nothing to do with wildfire risk,

5282
03:19:52,617 --> 03:19:54,617
it has everything to do

5283
03:19:54,617 --> 03:19:57,617
with reserves, requirements, accounting procedures

5284
03:19:57,617 --> 03:19:58,617
that the insurance companies do not

5285
03:19:58,617 --> 03:20:00,617
like. Just

5286
03:20:01,617 --> 03:20:04,617
like when prop 206 got past

5287
03:20:04,617 --> 03:20:06,617
years ago,

5288
03:20:07,617 --> 03:20:09,617
we had a previous insurance

5289
03:20:09,617 --> 03:20:10,617
crisis, it was more financially and

5290
03:20:10,617 --> 03:20:12,617
politically driven

5291
03:20:13,617 --> 03:20:15,617
,

5292
03:20:16,617 --> 03:20:18,617
they are

5293
03:20:19,617 --> 03:20:22,617
trying to get california to

5294
03:20:25,617 --> 03:20:27,617
conform, pull out and cause

5295
03:20:27,617 --> 03:20:28,617
mayhem and then we will go back in

5296
03:20:28,617 --> 03:20:28,817
and charge a higher price and everything

5297
03:20:28,817 --> 03:20:30,617
will

5298
03:20:30,617 --> 03:20:31,617
be good. So it is not exactly what

5299
03:20:31,617 --> 03:20:33,617
it seems, they are using

5300
03:20:33,617 --> 03:20:34,617
the wildfire risk as a cover to get

5301
03:20:34,617 --> 03:20:37,617
what they want legislatively and to

5302
03:20:37,617 --> 03:20:40,617
get them to bend their way and relax regulations.

5303
03:20:40,617 --> 03:20:42,617
it does not

5304
03:20:43,617 --> 03:20:43,900
mean they will come back at the same

5305
03:20:43,900 --> 03:20:45,900
price, that is

5306
03:20:46,617 --> 03:20:49,170
my two cents. Maybe

5307
03:20:49,617 --> 03:20:49,800
the former mayor can comment, give

5308
03:20:49,800 --> 03:20:51,617
us

5309
03:20:51,617 --> 03:20:52,617
a insight. It is really troubling

5310
03:20:52,617 --> 03:20:54,617
and it

5311
03:20:54,617 --> 03:20:55,617
is a big problem for our community

5312
03:20:55,617 --> 03:20:58,170
that we do not

5313
03:20:58,617 --> 03:20:59,617
talk about enough. I do

5314
03:20:59,617 --> 03:21:01,617
want to acknowledge that arbor day

5315
03:21:01,617 --> 03:21:03,617
was great.

5316
03:21:04,617 --> 03:21:06,617
the memorial for

5317
03:21:07,617 --> 03:21:10,170
officer tarantino was good.

5318
03:21:10,617 --> 03:21:13,170
a good attendance there.

5319
03:21:13,617 --> 03:21:15,617
also today

5320
03:21:16,617 --> 03:21:19,617
, on a future agenda I want to

5321
03:21:19,617 --> 03:21:22,170
put the community monitoring

5322
03:21:22,617 --> 03:21:24,617
upgrades system

5323
03:21:25,617 --> 03:21:28,617
that the --will be putting in

5324
03:21:28,617 --> 03:21:31,617
place for communities like ours,

5325
03:21:31,617 --> 03:21:31,883
a new program they will put in place,

5326
03:21:31,883 --> 03:21:33,617
I would like to

5327
03:21:33,617 --> 03:21:37,617
get that on the agenda and today we passed

5328
03:21:37,617 --> 03:21:39,617
, we did not pass it, we are

5329
03:21:39,617 --> 03:21:40,617
moving forward on a community benefits

5330
03:21:40,617 --> 03:21:43,170
package that will help

5331
03:21:43,617 --> 03:21:45,617
communities in regions

5332
03:21:46,617 --> 03:21:49,617
that are affected by toxic

5333
03:21:49,617 --> 03:21:52,617
incidents and polluters that are fined

5334
03:21:52,617 --> 03:21:55,617
by the air district and we are coming up

5335
03:21:55,617 --> 03:21:57,617
with a schedule

5336
03:21:57,617 --> 03:21:58,617
as to how the massive fines can be

5337
03:21:58,617 --> 03:22:01,617
returned to the communities that

5338
03:22:01,617 --> 03:22:03,617
were affected. Chevron

5339
03:22:04,617 --> 03:22:08,217
will be paying a $22 million fine

5340
03:22:08,617 --> 03:22:10,617
enrichment, that

5341
03:22:11,617 --> 03:22:12,617
will be the forefront.

5342
03:22:12,617 --> 03:22:14,617
if you look at what martinez is going

5343
03:22:14,617 --> 03:22:16,617
to get

5344
03:22:17,617 --> 03:22:19,617
,

5345
03:22:20,617 --> 03:22:21,617
mrc

5346
03:22:21,617 --> 03:22:23,617
fines and all of those issues are down

5347
03:22:23,617 --> 03:22:26,170
the road so we

5348
03:22:26,617 --> 03:22:28,617
do not know what

5349
03:22:28,617 --> 03:22:32,617
will be incurred there. What will happen

5350
03:22:32,617 --> 03:22:35,617
is the air district will have a

5351
03:22:35,617 --> 03:22:38,617
process in place. We will

5352
03:22:38,617 --> 03:22:41,170
have community input as

5353
03:22:41,617 --> 03:22:44,617
to how the dollars can be spent

5354
03:22:44,617 --> 03:22:46,617
.

5355
03:22:47,617 --> 03:22:50,170
hopefully we will have

5356
03:22:50,617 --> 03:22:52,617
much more detail

5357
03:22:53,617 --> 03:22:56,617
on that. I did not cough once

5358
03:22:56,617 --> 03:22:58,617
during that.

5359
03:22:59,617 --> 03:23:01,617
>> I want to

5360
03:23:05,617 --> 03:23:09,217
follow up on arbor day. Debbie

5361
03:23:09,617 --> 03:23:11,617
leading the planting charge, I am

5362
03:23:11,617 --> 03:23:14,170
impressed that we got

5363
03:23:17,617 --> 03:23:18,617
10 trees planted and that was a

5364
03:23:18,617 --> 03:23:19,617
lot of fun. I want to remind everybody

5365
03:23:19,617 --> 03:23:20,617
we are doing a evacuation drill and

5366
03:23:20,617 --> 03:23:22,617
maybe we

5367
03:23:23,617 --> 03:23:25,617
can get --to speak to it

5368
03:23:25,617 --> 03:23:29,617
before hand. It is june 22 and it is

5369
03:23:29,617 --> 03:23:32,617
east, up in the hills

5370
03:23:32,617 --> 03:23:35,617
above greenstreet or my place.

5371
03:23:35,617 --> 03:23:37,617
so

5372
03:23:37,617 --> 03:23:38,617
everybody is going to evacuate down

5373
03:23:38,617 --> 03:23:40,617
to city

5374
03:23:41,617 --> 03:23:44,617
hall so down front here

5375
03:23:44,617 --> 03:23:47,617
and there will be red cross,

5376
03:23:47,617 --> 03:23:50,617
con fire, genesis and other

5377
03:23:50,617 --> 03:23:52,617
evacuation personnel. It will be

5378
03:23:52,617 --> 03:23:56,617
nice to have them come speak to that

5379
03:23:56,617 --> 03:23:59,617
so we can all be prepared. That is it.

5380
03:23:59,617 --> 03:23:59,850
thank you.

5381
03:23:59,850 --> 03:24:01,617
>>

5382
03:24:01,617 --> 03:24:02,617
chief right, will we get a update

5383
03:24:02,617 --> 03:24:04,617
on the

5384
03:24:05,617 --> 03:24:07,617
june 22

5385
03:24:08,617 --> 03:24:10,617
event

5386
03:24:10,617 --> 03:24:10,917
before then as a counsel?

5387
03:24:10,917 --> 03:24:11,617
>> we can

5388
03:24:11,617 --> 03:24:13,617
if you like.

5389
03:24:13,617 --> 03:24:14,617
>> if you could, that would be great.

5390
03:24:14,617 --> 03:24:17,170
even if it is

5391
03:24:17,617 --> 03:24:19,617
as simple as

5392
03:24:20,617 --> 03:24:21,617
during one of

5393
03:24:21,617 --> 03:24:23,617
your reports but that would be helpful

5394
03:24:23,617 --> 03:24:23,800
for all of the counsel to be aware

5395
03:24:23,800 --> 03:24:25,617
of

5396
03:24:25,617 --> 03:24:26,500
the details.

5397
03:24:26,500 --> 03:24:26,617
>> no problem. >> thank

5398
03:24:26,617 --> 03:24:28,617
you. My only comment

5399
03:24:28,617 --> 03:24:29,617
is with regards to coordination with

5400
03:24:29,617 --> 03:24:31,617
the tribes.

5401
03:24:31,617 --> 03:24:32,617
christian henderson brought it up

5402
03:24:32,617 --> 03:24:34,617
at the beginning

5403
03:24:34,617 --> 03:24:35,617
and the came up a couple of times

5404
03:24:35,617 --> 03:24:37,617
throughout the

5405
03:24:38,617 --> 03:24:41,617
meeting and I appreciate, if we could

5406
03:24:41,617 --> 03:24:44,617
on a upcoming agenda, add

5407
03:24:44,617 --> 03:24:45,617
reporting on some of

5408
03:24:45,617 --> 03:24:46,617
the coordination that is happening with

5409
03:24:46,617 --> 03:24:47,617
local tribes. If it becomes part of

5410
03:24:47,617 --> 03:24:49,617
the update

5411
03:24:50,617 --> 03:24:53,617
as part of the epa grant

5412
03:24:53,617 --> 03:24:53,817
that is great and if not if we can

5413
03:24:53,817 --> 03:24:55,817
have

5414
03:24:56,617 --> 03:24:58,617
a standalone update

5415
03:24:58,617 --> 03:24:59,617
even if it is just the city manager

5416
03:24:59,617 --> 03:25:02,617
portion of the agenda, that

5417
03:25:02,617 --> 03:25:02,933
would be appreciated.

5418
03:25:02,933 --> 03:25:04,933
>> will do.

5419
03:25:05,617 --> 03:25:07,617
hopefully

5420
03:25:10,617 --> 03:25:11,617
--doing the public engagement for

5421
03:25:11,617 --> 03:25:13,617
the grants.

5422
03:25:14,617 --> 03:25:17,617
>> thank you. That is it

5423
03:25:19,617 --> 03:25:20,617
for tonight, instead of me adjourning I will

5424
03:25:20,617 --> 03:25:22,617
hand the gavel

5425
03:25:22,617 --> 03:25:23,617
to vice mayor and let her adjourn

5426
03:25:23,617 --> 03:25:23,850
the meeting tonight.

5427
03:25:23,850 --> 03:25:25,850
>>

5428
03:25:26,617 --> 03:25:28,617
thank you

5429
03:25:29,617 --> 03:25:31,617
mayor and to my colleagues for allowing

5430
03:25:31,617 --> 03:25:32,617
me to close to nights meeting in memory

5431
03:25:32,617 --> 03:25:34,617
of my

5432
03:25:35,617 --> 03:25:37,617
mother jerry .

5433
03:25:38,617 --> 03:25:41,617
my mother lost her battle

5434
03:25:41,617 --> 03:25:44,170
with alzheimer's on june 14

5435
03:25:44,617 --> 03:25:47,170
2023 at the age of 81.

5436
03:25:49,617 --> 03:25:50,617
today is may day, a special day I shared

5437
03:25:50,617 --> 03:25:51,617
with

5438
03:25:51,617 --> 03:25:55,617
my mom. Today we celebrated a long-standing

5439
03:25:55,617 --> 03:25:59,617
tradition of giving flowers to each other

5440
03:25:59,617 --> 03:26:02,617
and to the ones we loved.

5441
03:26:02,617 --> 03:26:04,617
so

5442
03:26:04,617 --> 03:26:05,617
tonight I am carrying on her tradition

5443
03:26:05,617 --> 03:26:05,817
by sharing her favorite flower with

5444
03:26:05,817 --> 03:26:07,617
all

5445
03:26:07,617 --> 03:26:08,617
of you and that is why I have this flower

5446
03:26:08,617 --> 03:26:10,617
on the dais.

5447
03:26:11,617 --> 03:26:13,617
my mother appreciated

5448
03:26:13,617 --> 03:26:14,617
the beauty of a single red rose nestled

5449
03:26:14,617 --> 03:26:16,617
in white

5450
03:26:17,617 --> 03:26:20,170
b's breath adorned with

5451
03:26:20,617 --> 03:26:22,617
cleopatra fern.

5452
03:26:22,617 --> 03:26:23,617
my mother loved the music of johnny

5453
03:26:23,617 --> 03:26:26,617
mathis, she loved to sing

5454
03:26:26,617 --> 03:26:28,617
and dance.

03:26:32,617 --> 03:26:35,617
and the academy awards. She loved

root beer floats, juju beans, red

5460
03:26:41,617 --> 03:26:44,170

5467
03:26:59,617 --> 03:27:02,617

three children and fulfilled her dream

5470
03:27:08,617 --> 03:27:11,617
to live in the valley. My mother

5471
03:27:11,617 --> 03:27:13,617
embodied elegance, walked

5472
03:27:14,617 --> 03:27:17,617
this earth with grace and charm. She

5473
03:27:17,617 --> 03:27:17,833
loved and cherished her family and

5474
03:27:17,833 --> 03:27:19,833
I know

5475
03:27:20,617 --> 03:27:23,617
she will always and forever love

5476
03:27:23,617 --> 03:27:25,617
me unconditionally.

5477
03:27:26,617 --> 03:27:29,617
my mother was born on may

5478
03:27:29,617 --> 03:27:32,170
12, 1942. This year I will

5479
03:27:32,617 --> 03:27:34,617
celebrate her birthday

5480
03:27:36,617 --> 03:27:38,617
on mother's day.

5481
03:27:39,617 --> 03:27:41,617
before I close

5482
03:27:42,617 --> 03:27:44,617
to nights meeting I want

5483
03:27:44,617 --> 03:27:49,417
to share a short poem by david hawkins.

5484
03:27:54,617 --> 03:27:57,617
the poem is titled, she

5485
03:27:57,617 --> 03:27:59,617
is gone.

5486
03:28:00,617 --> 03:28:02,617
you can shed

5487
03:28:02,617 --> 03:28:06,617
tears that she is gone or you can smile

5488
03:28:06,617 --> 03:28:08,617
because she

5489
03:28:09,617 --> 03:28:11,617
has lived.

5490
03:28:11,617 --> 03:28:12,617
you can close your eyes and pray that

5491
03:28:12,617 --> 03:28:13,617
she will

5492
03:28:13,617 --> 03:28:18,617
come back or you can open your eyes and

5493
03:28:18,617 --> 03:28:21,617
see all that she has left.

5494
03:28:21,617 --> 03:28:24,617
your heart can be empty

5495
03:28:24,617 --> 03:28:26,617
because you cannot see her

5496
03:28:26,617 --> 03:28:30,617
or you can be filled with love that

5497
03:28:30,617 --> 03:28:32,617
you shared.

5498
03:28:33,617 --> 03:28:35,617
you can turn your

5499
03:28:35,617 --> 03:28:37,617
back on tomorrow and live in yesterday

5500
03:28:37,617 --> 03:28:39,617
or you can be happy for tomorrow because

5501
03:28:39,617 --> 03:28:41,617
of yesterday.

5502
03:28:42,617 --> 03:28:45,170
you can remember her

5503
03:28:45,617 --> 03:28:48,617
and only that she is gone or

5504
03:28:48,617 --> 03:28:51,617
you can cherish her memory and

5505
03:28:51,617 --> 03:28:54,170
let it live on.

5506
03:28:54,617 --> 03:28:57,617
you can cry and close

5507
03:28:57,617 --> 03:29:00,617
your mind, be empty and turn

5508
03:29:00,617 --> 03:29:02,617
your back or you

5509
03:29:02,617 --> 03:29:06,617
can do what she would want, smile, open

5510
03:29:06,617 --> 03:29:09,170
your eyes, love, and

5511
03:29:09,617 --> 03:29:11,617
go on.

5512
03:29:12,617 --> 03:29:14,617
thank you.
