well good evening everyone

29
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:22,879
so this is a presentation of the active

30
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:24,000
transportation plan

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760
this is something that the city has been

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,520
working on for a while

33
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,680
um let me go through the slice and

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,200
explain what this is about

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,680
so what's an active transportation plan

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280
so it makes improvements

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040
and provides safer and more reliable

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,120
mobility choices whether you are walking

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
cycling taking transit driving or ride

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,509
sharing

41
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:49,040
so a little bit of background on the

42
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,879
project this project was

43
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,840
initiated by the city it's grant funded

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,640
through california sb1 planning grant

45
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,599
for this type of project caltrans

46
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:00,959
administers the funds

47
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:02,720
so we have to answer the cal trends on

48
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,560
this project

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,319
we have about a year and a half

50
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:10,480
of time to do this project so we're kind

51
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,360
of midway

52
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,319
on the schedule and at the bottom of

53
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:15,519
that slide you can see

54
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:17,280
the project team we've teamed up with

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,519
riverside university health system

56
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:22,720
um k2na foreign stc are

57
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,120
our consultants that are helping us with

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,560
this project

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,640
caltrans of course and local government

60
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,120
commission is a non-profit agency

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,720
based on sacramento that helps

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,319
local governments do these kind of

63
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:38,239
projects

64
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:41,519
so we have a good mix of project team

65
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:45,270
members

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,200
so what will this atp or active

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,879
transportation plan would do for the

68
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:49,360
city

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,480
uh it assesses the community needs uh

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,319
evaluates current street and sidewalk

71
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:55,760
inventory that's something that we

72
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,879
currently don't have

73
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,799
we have sidewalks all over the place

74
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,159
there are gaps here and there

75
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,040
but we don't have an accurate encounter

76
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,799
what's missing where they are what stay

77
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,239
there

78
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:08,239
identify and prioritize active

79
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:09,599
transportation projects

80
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:10,879
focus on providing improved

81
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,640
transportation choices in senior and

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,319
disadvantaged neighborhoods

83
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:20,390
in your local schools within the city

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,629
so a little more background on this

85
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,479
safety as we were talking about it will

86
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:29,360
provide for

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,040
buffer bike lanes or protected bike

88
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,790
lanes corridors

89
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,080
more visible crosswalks and

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,720
ada ramps for accessibility to all

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:52,710
pedestrians

92
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,960
with disabilities to get to the other

93
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,240
side

94
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,600
also the bottom left picture

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,600
in this slide this is a project we just

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
completed near the

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,479
romulan elementary school where we

98
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:08,560
actually did pop out

99
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:19,909
on the street

100
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:22,400
as vehicles approach intersection they

101
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,950
see it's narrow

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,680
we all know the benefits of being active

103
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,360
transportation

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,840
just their walkable neighborhoods have

105
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,080
substantially lower rates of obesity and

106
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,240
overweightness and diabetes

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,400
and this goes in hand with the city's

108
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,880
mission statement to provide a safe

109
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,440
livable and active community for all

110
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,990
residents

111
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120
so the city will focus on pedestrian

112
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,000
areas

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,919
giving tv for safe routes to school for

114
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:57,440
example um

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:06,080
we'll look at what the schools are um

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,520
on this on the network to make sure that

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,240
kids

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
can get to school safer this picture you

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,919
see right there is

120
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:18,840
something we did at quail valley

121
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,080
elementary

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000
cab on the sidewalk so we did this

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,440
project maybe a couple of years ago it

124
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,639
wasn't part of this but this is

125
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:25,600
something that

126
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,880
an example of what we're going to

127
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,629
implement and you can see

128
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:35,360
it was well received by the community

129
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,360
we'll also prioritize the citywide

130
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,280
network of bikers and trails

131
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:40,720
we already have a general plan that

132
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120
identifies

133
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,479
bikeways and trails and things like that

134
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:49,120
we need to prioritize it and kind of go

135
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,199
the next step on this

136
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:53,680
looking at destination where people want

137
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,800
to go

138
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,720
and also recreation people just want to

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,240
get their bikes and just

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:14,830
go around the city what's a good network

141
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,080
um

142
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
so this atp will analyze costs and

143
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,759
alternatives

144
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:22,080
of top rated projects we will come up

145
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,800
with about

146
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,599
20 priority projects this is just a

147
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:37,749
sample of what it would look like

148
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:40,880
accordingly and this will eventually

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,440
go to our capital project

150
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,520
for a five-year plan and then we'll

151
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,759
start tackling this project one at a

152
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:50,400
time

153
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,120
and this is helpful uh because there are

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,800
numerous grants out there

155
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
here towards this kind of project and if

156
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,800
we have this

157
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,589
atp it will help us obtain those funds

158
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:06,240
and also it will help us kind of

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,080
prioritize i guess

160
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,080
it's more of a guideline for not only

161
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,000
the city but for future developers

162
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,560
they can be conditioned to install some

163
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,360
sidewalks or

164
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,270
trails that are needed

165
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,440
so this atp is only as good as the input

166
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,960
we get from the community

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,550
like one of the slides

168
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,360
so ways to participate and to provide

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,279
input on this atp is to attend our

170
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,440
meetings workshops

171
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,080
right now we have had other paintings in

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,279
the past take surveys

173
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,760
stay tuned for pop-up events and use our

174
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,910
online map survey

175
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,920
so we developed what is called the story

176
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,440
map which has

177
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,200
pretty much just an overview and more

178
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320
information about this atp

179
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,399
we have some tech surveys it has an

180
00:08:58,399 --> 00:08:59,839
interactive map

181
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,920
where you can go in there and select an

182
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,959
area and

183
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:06,000
click on it and make a comment

184
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,560
crosswalk is needed here no aka ram so

185
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:10,000
it's interactive and

186
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040
all this information is gathered and

187
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:20,150
it's evaluated

188
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,680
so like i said in the beginning we're

189
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,080
kind of halfway uh in this

190
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,839
project we're in the data and collection

191
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:28,480
analysis we have until spring of 2020 to

192
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
collect all the data and gather all this

193
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,800
and then after that we'll start

194
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,560
implementing this

195
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,310
providing recommendations

196
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,920
later on in the year so we are expecting

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,000
to have a final report by fall of 2020.

198
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,519
so with that this concludes my

199
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:59,430
presentations and

200
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,640
um this is long overdue

201
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:16,230
i don't

202
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,440
what's the safest way for me to get on

203
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,880
my bike and go to a park

204
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,240
take my kids there's

205
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,279
a lot of ideas that i have with this

206
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:43,430
are they meetings can we make sure

207
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,079

209
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920

um

214
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,440
a lot of the proposed trails or existing

215
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,800
trails just like we're trying to do

216
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,480
an inventory sidewalk we were also

217
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880
trying to get inventory

218
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,560
birds in one stone and you guys can go

220
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,839
and i know a few of you gentlemen have

221
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:29,360
been working on these city trails before

222
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,399
the city was even a city

223
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,120
yeah so you probably kind of know uh

224
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,399
some of the information that carlos is

225
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:35,760
looking for so

226
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,040
it'd be very good for you to go into

227
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,440
that story map and add some of those

228
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:51,350
missing things yeah

229
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,480
yeah okay great this is good stuff and

230
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,279
please keep keep us informed of those

231
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,120
meetings and workshops because

232
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,639
we all have a lot of years of

233
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:06,870
experience here

234
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,279
thank you carlos thank you for your

235
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,120
presentation i have two questions uh

236
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,079
right now

237
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:14,160
uh was the target of the grant funding

238
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,399
that we got from sb1 revenue

239
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,399
seniors or senior neighborhoods and

240
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:19,760
disadvantaged communities

241
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000
was that part of it it is part of it so

242
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,240
we're trying to do a comprehensive

243
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,639
plan that encompasses pretty much the

244
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,240
whole spectrum of the residents

245
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,160
seniors kids going to school

246
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:41,750
people with disabilities

247
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,360
okay do you recall thank you do you

248
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,959
recall how much money we received from

249
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:45,920
sb1

250
00:12:45,920 --> 00:13:04,710
and or the city

251
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,480
do you find that that's enough money for

252
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,399
you to accurately conduct this

253
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:10,480
yes uh we went through an rfp process

254
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,519
with a consultant

255
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:14,800
and we delineated all the things that

256
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,440
this atp needs because it's funded

257
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:32,150
through caltrans they have guidelines

258
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,079
considering the number of components in

259
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:35,839
in this in this up

260
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:38,639
this uh analysis uh is this going to be

261
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:40,480
like a living document at the point that

262
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,800
it's

263
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,560
over with so that we can keep updating

264
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:47,040
it keep revisiting it maybe a yearly or

265
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,440
buy a annual basis yeah i mean certainly

266
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,560
any document

267
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,720
we can always update it as we need to

268
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,399
you know priorities change over time in

269
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,269
the city

270
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,440
i think a portrayal will be nice to have

271
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,480
this time maybe

272
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:08,470
because of needs

273
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,320
by the time we finally reach down into

274
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,240
it some of those

275
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:24,949
are going to change

276
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:26,720
yeah maybe not so much grand money

277
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,839
because it will be focused

278
00:14:28,839 --> 00:14:30,800
um we're going to redo the entire

279
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,440
network again or maybe

280
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,079
quite a few years on the road maybe

281
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:37,440
updated

282
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:57,110
but if um

283
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,959
so this is a very good plan that mr john

284
00:14:58,959 --> 00:15:00,079
was paying together because it makes us

285
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:01,600
eligible for more grants and

286
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,120
there's another grant through prop 68

287
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,199
that mr applied for earlier in the year

288
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:08,790
to do some trail improvements as well

289
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:20,550
exactly and who's going

290
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,829
we want to make sure everybody's

291
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:36,949
involved

292
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:50,550
that would be the usual step that once

293
00:15:50,560 --> 00:16:02,629
get their comments recommendations

294
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,759
this does give us the ability to apply

295
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:20,150
for more grants identifies

296
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:34,949
those trails

297
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:36,560

the powerpoint

365
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,559
uh susie hernandez is one of our

366
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,160
community services instructors she's

367
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:50,720
been

368
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,160
heavily involved in getting this program

369
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,919
little learners up and running just a

370
00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:55,280
little quick history this program has

371
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,480
been around for about a year now and

372
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:56,960
it's

373
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,480
it was started uh due to the

374
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,240
overwhelming popularity of our tiny top

375
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,679
program at lazy creek

376
00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:03,520
and it has morphed into a program that

377
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,440
they'll discuss a little bit more but uh

378
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,960
we're trying to use any available space

379
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,720
that we can to continue to serve our

380
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,919
residents and

381
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:11,039
this is a great way that we're able to

382
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:18,830
do that so i'll turn it over to the

383
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:33,190
ladies

384
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840
engage the children and provide them

385
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,679
with an enriching environment

386
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:41,360
we work with children right now we have

387
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:46,830
four different classes

388
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,720
um

389
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,350
and indoor and outdoor learning

390
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,200
so these are some of the classes that we

391
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:28,830
offer um

392
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:42,789
um

393
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:45,039
so that the children have more learning

394
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:46,320
time

395
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,080
and more time to go over the concepts

396
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,919
that we're going over with them and i'll

397
00:21:49,919 --> 00:22:25,350
let samantha talk about some of those

398
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,440
it allows the kids to definitely

399
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,720
experience

400
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,120
more of the culture which is very big

401
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:32,640
especially in this class we want to make

402
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,240
sure the kids understand that it's not

403
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:50,710
just learning

404
00:22:50,720 --> 00:23:06,390
you know allow the kids

405
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:15,830

00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,240
practice rhythm

00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,200
and coordination and they do this all in

422
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,679
a group

423
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:55,039
setting and we have two instructors with

424
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,559

two to four it is a parent in me

428
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,840
class which means that a parent or

429
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,360
guardian is with the child

430
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,320
at all times it is both indoor and

431
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,960
outdoor

432
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,279
we do bi-weekly visits to our community

433
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:14,640

out there

438
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,600
and then we do all kind of observations

439
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,039
of what they're seeing

440
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:29,279
and then we go into the classroom we do

441
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:30,720
some arts and crafts

442
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000

and we've been having like maximum

477
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,880
capacity

478
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,039
in all of our programs we have waiting

479
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:15,919
lists

480
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:18,240
for our programs and then we've been

481
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,039
generating

482
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:27,669
8 467 in fun

483
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:30,870
are there any questions

484
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,799
just how quickly can we build you more

485
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:36,720
buildings

486
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,120
i wish very quickly we would love to

487
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:39,840
expand

488
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,520
if it was up to me thank you you guys

489
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,960
are doing great work and i hear nothing

490
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,880
but great stuff about it

491
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,000
and like i said another four or five of

492
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,320
them

493
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,520
right now would in two seconds

494
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,919
thank you thank you very much the house

495
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:57,120
is in the waiting list

496
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:58,960
i'm sorry how big is the waiting list it

497
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,880
can range anywhere from

498
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,600
two to ten children it just depends on

499
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,320
the demand

500
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,760
some months are there's more especially

501
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,039
in the summer

502
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:11,279
we have an overflow of children in the

503
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:12,159
summer and

504
00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:14,640
we can't possibly have enough programs

505
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,919
and space for them

506
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:17,679
which is why we would love to have more

507
00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:19,120
spaces to be able

508
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,039
to have more staff members and provide

509
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:31,430
more programs for the community

510
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520
so that this is one of the main reasons

511
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,120
why we're doing the expansion at lazy

512
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,000
creek because

513
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,840
there's high demand for these programs

514
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,760
you know um i do presentations with

515
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,679
other agencies and i provide an update

516
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:43,440
on the city of manifest one of the

517
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,480
kind of funny things about city of

518
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,640
menifee is that i've been here almost

519
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,120
two years so i'm two years older but the

520
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:50,799
average age of men if you went from 38

521
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:51,120
to

522
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:52,960
36. so matter if you got two years

523
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,159
younger even though i got two years

524
00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:54,720
older

525
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,320
and the main reason is because we have

526
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,600
all these young families moving here

527
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,720
with young children

528
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,200
and there's not a lot of preschool

529
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,720
programs in the community

530
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,080
at all and so there's very high demand

531
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,919
for these programs and they provide a

532
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:09,520
very good um

533
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,640
sam and susie and agree they provide a

534
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,520
very good

535
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,120
quality program that keeps people coming

536
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,640
back and having that waiting list

537
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,600
so um the lazy creek project that

538
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,840
expansion and having two buildings is a

539
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,440
one of the reasons why we're doing that

540
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,880
is for programs like this

541
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,240
i actually talked to the fire marshal

542
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,799
today we're at about 70 80

543
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,880
construction plans um and the fire

544
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,880
marshal did her review this week

545
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,880
and has comments back for the architect

546
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,640
it's gone through review with our

547
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,720
uh building official colin mcnee and i

548
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,399
also spoke to our community develop our

549
00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:41,279
planning director

550
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:43,039
cheryl kitzrow about the project this

551
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:44,799
morning as well to make sure that we're

552
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:46,880
compliant with sequa and have a

553
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,159
appropriate amount of parking stalls for

554
00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:49,919
the expansion so we are

555
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:52,080
chugging along um ids group or

556
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,600
architects that are working on this

557
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,720
project

558
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,960
their hope is to get this out to bid for

559
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,799
construction by the end of the calendar

560
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:00,480
year because the building codes

561
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,559
changed january 1. so they're they're

562
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:04,000
under some pressure but

563
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,120
they're working through the process

564
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,120
they've been working with mr howe on

565
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:07,520
some

566
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,279
cleanup items and making sure we have

567
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:11,039
all the detail that we need when we put

568
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:12,080
this out to bid and

569
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,679
get some construction contractors on

570
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:15,120
board so we're hoping that we can get

571
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,960
this out to bid

572
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,480
by the end of the calendar year or by

573
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,399
next month then maybe we'll be under

574
00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:23,590

575
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,200

577
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:30,880
um what's the cost of this um the cost

578
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960
varies for the most part we have

579
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,080
all of our supplies now we've gotten a

580
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,159
lot of supplies over the past couple

581
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:38,559

that you all

00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,159
need to meet like c being cpr qualified

621
00:30:54,159 --> 00:30:56,559
yes we do all need to be cpr certified

622
00:30:56,559 --> 00:30:59,679
anything else um besides being nice with

623
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:01,039
children

624
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:04,159
um well it's wonderful

625
00:31:04,159 --> 00:31:06,880
if they have previous child care

626
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,320
experience

627
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,440
however we also open it up

628
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,760
to anyone who would like to work with

629
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,679
children for example brianna

630
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:17,440
she did have a couple years experience

631
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,600
volunteering however it was something

632
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,440
that she was interested in and she's

633
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,360
growing and learning through it

634
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,240
and so it's something that is a great

635
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,159
opportunity even if you don't have the

636
00:31:28,159 --> 00:31:29,760
experience initially

637
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,919
because there are people that do have

638
00:31:31,919 --> 00:31:32,960
experience in it

639
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,559
and we can kind of help guide them

640
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,640
through it thank you in addition we'll

641
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,799
be doing some training on december 21st

642
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:39,840
it's gonna be an all day pretty

643
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,519
intensive staff training for

644
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,430
all levels of the youth that we work

645
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,440
you know with i may also i think that

646
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,720
suzie's being a bit humble

647
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,960
with her education background experience

648
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:51,919
because she does have

649
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:54,480
early childhood education units which is

650
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,440
a

651
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,720
preliminary requirement for anyone

652
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,840
teaching a child care type program

653
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,960
uh also just so you know having a

654
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,440
daughter

655
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,799
or a granddaughter that's in writing

656
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:08,230
lessons this is a bargain

657
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,880
yeah we try to keep the costs low so

658
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,279
that

659
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:13,360
we get a lot of people who come because

660
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,480
we want to provide

661
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,919
the program to as many people as

662
00:32:15,919 --> 00:32:19,669
possible

663
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:21,840
i just wanted to thank you for what

664
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,679
you're doing for the youth of this

665
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:25,679
city and i appreciate what you're doing

666
00:32:25,679 --> 00:32:26,960
thank you so much

667
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:54,830
that means a lot thank you

668
00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:09,230
um

669
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,399
incomes that might just struggle this is

670
00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:13,679
a lot of help

671
00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:36,830
and if we can provide more ways

672
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,870
is

673
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,440
i have a question is are any of your

674
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,640
programs

675
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,519
parent participation programs or is it

676
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:50,399
all

677
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:52,640
instructions by the instructors in other

678
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,799
words do you let the people sit in and

679
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:55,679
help you

680
00:33:55,679 --> 00:33:57,679
do they take part do they help you at

681
00:33:57,679 --> 00:33:59,679
all or how the parents

682
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:01,120
involved in this other than just

683
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,799
bringing the kids there

684
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:05,120
and watching or do they help you babysit

685
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,880
or do they help at all

686
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,520
that's right yes we do have one program

687
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,599
that is parent and me it's our watch me

688
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,839
grow that's our nature based class

689
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:15,679
and the parents um are there the whole

690
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,919
time for that one other than that our

691
00:34:17,919 --> 00:34:18,960
other classes

692
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,839
their non-parent participation the ones

693
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:23,839
with the children who are older we feel

694
00:34:23,839 --> 00:34:25,440
that it's better just to be with the

695
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,240
instructors

696
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:28,879
because they are transitioning soon into

697
00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:29,520
either

698
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,960
a preschool or kindergarten and so

699
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,480
they won't be with their parent or

700
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,159
guardian at that time and so it's a

701
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,919
little bit of an easier transition

702
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:39,440
but for our younger children we do

703
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,280
provide the watch me grow program

704
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,720
you know i was just curious about the

705
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,879
smaller kids you know the young ones

706
00:34:44,879 --> 00:34:47,760
if the parents actually participate in

707
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,119
some of what you do

708
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,520
are they just there to kind of guide the

709
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,040
kids towards what you're supposed to be

710
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:53,520
doing

711
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,839
that's we require participation

712
00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:57,680
throughout the entire class when they're

713
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,240
there

714
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,880
yeah so um they're not allowed to be on

715
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,320
their cell phones or be away from the

716
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,240
child at all they have to be actively

717
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,079
participating the entire time

718
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,720
very good thank you you mentioned

719
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,240
marketing this is probably a jason

720
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,000
question how are we going about getting

721
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,599
the word out

722
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:14,960
we have the program in our minifee

723
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,280
matters that goes out every quarter

724
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,800
because the class is usually full with

725
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,000
the waiting list we don't do a whole lot

726
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,520
of flyers out to the public or anything

727
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,960
because we're usually full

728
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,640
once we expand to lazy creek and have

729
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,079
those opportunities we'll definitely hit

730
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:27,440
it hard with flyers

731
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,520
the community local businesses things

732
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,720
that nature like we usually do with our

733
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:32,320
programs because i was thinking

734
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,280
outside of the general populace here we

735
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,040
have the spanish-speaking populace over

736
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,880
in areas like roma land

737
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,960
right and we don't really have any

738
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,520
publications in that language for them

739
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,359
we tried it most of the programs are

740
00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:46,560
dual immersion so they do do some

741
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,240
spanish and english classes and

742
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,920
when we do target that audience we

743
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,240
definitely do uh flyers in spanish as

744
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:53,440
well since we have such dead

745
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,119
um staff that are able to do those for

746
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:56,560
us

747
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,710
thank you

748
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:04,630
commissioners any other questions

749
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,720
yeah i have one question for jason in

750
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:08,320
light of the

751
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,200
classes getting larger and expanding and

752
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,640
everything

753
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,599
is the improvement at lazy creek going

754
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:17,200
to be sufficient

755
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,040
but when it's finished to cover all

756
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,720
these the

757
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,200
bigger classes probably not completely i

758
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,160

just so as an update we went through a

800
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,960
very competitive recruitment process 180

801
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,079
applications

802
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:05,440
many interviews a lot of interest from

803
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,040
folks from other cities wanting to come

804
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,960
to city of menifee and we actually chose

805
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,880
a new senior management analyst to

806
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,839
replace ms huerta which is very large

807
00:38:13,839 --> 00:38:14,880
shoes to fill

808
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,000

809
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,599

and just to note she is very good

814
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:27,839

00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,079
so they're also trying to get a

948
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:37,119
representative from each of the

949
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:38,079
commissions from the planning commission

950
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:38,880
the parks commission

951
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,119
well i'm on that other senior one that

952
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:42,319
she has too

953
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:56,950
senior advisory

954
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,400
this i was just wondering if this one

955
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,720
now is going to be

956
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,880
this is separate than that this is

957
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,480
focused on the census i just have to be

958
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,280
careful when i

959
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,280
when i talk to her because i don't want

960
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,200
to say yes to too many things she asks

961
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,079
you're going to get roped into

962
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:12,800
volunteering much more so

963
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,079
it does it sounds like uh mr amarillo is

964
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:17,760
volunteering for this or is somebody

965
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,000
else

966
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,670
i didn't say that

967
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,240
maybe we should nominate tony i don't

968
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,000
think you say that either

969
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,000
um those meetings are on what thursdays

970
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,119
yeah so it's going to be the second

971
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:33,200
thursday every month uh basically what

972
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,640
they do is they get together

973
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,119
kind of check in and then create a plan

974
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:37,920
for uh

975
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,640
to help the census get out to the

976
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,800
community and of course the census

977
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,880
um one of the main reasons why we do

978
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,280
this census and do these counts is

979
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:47,920
because

980
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040
for every person there's a value of that

981
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,480
is counted at a value of about two

982
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,160
thousand dollars in federal funding per

983
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:54,720
year

984
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:56,560
so the more we count more of a complete

985
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,160
count that we get that's more

986
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,680
uh federal funding that the city would

987
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,359
qualify for for different services

988
00:44:01,359 --> 00:44:03,119
infrastructure all that kind of stuff

989
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:05,599
and definitely focus on areas where

990
00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:07,280
maybe folks are a little bit resistant

991
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,560
to be counted or

992
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,880
you know the quail valley area roma land

993
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,480
area where maybe some folks might get

994
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,359
missed

995
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:15,119
so and also let people know that there

996
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:16,400
are other ways to be counted

997
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,760
it's not doesn't have to be the old

998
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,280
school way of a person coming to your

999
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,960
door they can do it online

1000
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,640
different avenues is that what they're

1001
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,079
doing they're going door-to-door on this

1002
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:25,040
or

1003
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,359
no the the the committee yeah the

1004
00:44:27,359 --> 00:44:28,400
committee isn't doing that the

1005
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,520
committee's actually

1006
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,280
getting together and um thinking of

1007
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,960
different ways to help the census bureau

1008
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,599
get out there

1009
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:34,800
yeah you're not going to be a counter

1010
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,720
with it with a you know with a walk list

1011
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:38,560
or something no no no no no no yeah

1012
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,400
no yeah it's just a committee it's more

1013
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,680
of a planning committee

1014
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,000
and then uh for example you mentioned uh

1015
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,079
miss sanchez is um trying to

1016
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:49,359
um have a census meeting at the oasis um

1017
00:44:49,359 --> 00:44:50,000
this month

1018
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,520
so that's one thing she's doing to try

1019
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,640
to help the census burden well you

1020
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,680
haven't you had a

1021
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,160
party at the club today yes that's

1022
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,760
probably what i'm talking about yeah

1023
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,599
yes and and she called from sacramento

1024
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:03,760

1025
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,119
another commitment so

1026
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:06,720
and then she said by the way you know

1027
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:08,000
when she starts saying by the way i

1028
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,599
gotta always back off

1029
00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:12,400
because i never know what she's after so

1030
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,920
uh i'd be willing to

1031
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,280
think you know give this a little

1032
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,520
thought because i do i am committed on

1033
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,240

under director's comments i just want to

1065
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,359
provide this brief presentation we

1066
00:46:27,359 --> 00:46:28,160
actually had

1067
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,400
uh rta now meeting here that uh

1068
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,760
commissioners croy

1069
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,160
and guitarists uh participated in and so

1070
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,839
uh we provided this update on the pluma

1071
00:46:35,839 --> 00:46:37,520
washroom project so i thought of prudent

1072
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,200
to also provide the update here

1073
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,480
to the full commission um so all of you

1074
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,760
are very familiar with the paloma wash

1075
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,119
trails right across the street right

1076
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:46,160
next to the uh

1077
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,280
the town center and right next to um our

1078
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,960
new central park which uh

1079
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,040
mr howe and our maintenance team made a

1080
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,480
connection from the park

1081
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,839
uh to the trail just recently as you

1082
00:46:57,839 --> 00:46:59,680
also may know this

1083
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,760
was not originally a trail it was a

1084
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,960
maintenance road

1085
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,880
that was built just to have maintenance

1086
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,720
access to the wash

1087
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:08,640
but folks just started walking on it so

1088
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,880
the city did some light repairs to it

1089
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,079
back in 2016

1090
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:14,720
just to fill some cracks and um and

1091
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,079
start using it as a trail but

1092
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:18,400
because it was created just as a

1093
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,440
maintenance road

1094
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,040
it really hasn't held up over the last

1095
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,880
10 years there's a lot of cracking

1096
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,800
a lot of uneven spots in there

1097
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,520
so this uh proposed improvement project

1098
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,079
would

1099
00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:33,200
replace all the asphalt on their

1100
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,920
construct pedestrian crosswalk at la

1101
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,599
piedra because there's a

1102
00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:39,359
space there where the trail stops

1103
00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:41,119
because la pedro's there and so to

1104
00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:42,319
create a crosswalk where you can

1105
00:47:42,319 --> 00:47:43,520
continue down the trail

1106
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,599
across la piedra to the other side

1107
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:47,359
install some fitness stations install

1108
00:47:47,359 --> 00:47:48,880
some park benches so people can rest

1109
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,000
because that is

1110
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,599
a couple miles if you're going around

1111
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:53,280
the whole entire trail i had some

1112
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,640
additional landscaping and then

1113
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,280
informational science

1114
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,839
so uh this is just kind of an overview

1115
00:47:59,839 --> 00:48:01,359
it's kind of hard to see the legend but

1116
00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:02,000
all those

1117
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,400
circles there would be some new proposed

1118
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,359
trees and landscaping um the little

1119
00:48:07,359 --> 00:48:08,720
those are blue dots would be the

1120
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:11,119
informational sides the rectangles

1121
00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:13,920
are the fitness stations and that other

1122
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,599
trapezoidal thing would be the

1123
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:19,430
uh where the proposed benches would be

1124
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,440
so the estimated project costs and

1125
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:22,880
actually mr geronimo's um

1126
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,040
leading this project as well is about a

1127
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,400
million dollars to do all those

1128
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,440
improvements

1129
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,839
um construction is about 787 and doing

1130
00:48:29,839 --> 00:48:31,520
all the engineering and administration

1131
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,359
we did receive a grant for a little

1132
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:34,880
under five hundred thousand dollars and

1133
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,000
we're matching that

1134
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,160
with our local trails funds um and just

1135
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,839
as a reminder this project

1136
00:48:39,839 --> 00:48:42,079
uh was presented to the parks commission

1137
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:43,280
city council when we're going through

1138
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,559
our cip

1139
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:46,160
process back in may and june with the

1140
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,240
budget so uh city council

1141
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,240
did approve accepting the grant funding

1142
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:51,280
in august

1143
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,160
uh accepting the 500 000 and then last

1144
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:54,720
night

1145
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,280
they uh approved an award of a design

1146
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,880
contract to koa

1147
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,119
corporation so there was some questions

1148
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:02,240
if you saw the council meeting from

1149
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:03,839
councilmember elise meyer about

1150
00:49:03,839 --> 00:49:05,440
well hey this seems like a fairly simple

1151
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,200
process you just take out the asphalt

1152
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,040
lay some new asphalt down why do we need

1153
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,280
to hire a design firm and the reason why

1154
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,880
is because it was a maintenance road

1155
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,599
before

1156
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:15,040
we want to make sure it when we put the

1157
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,640
asphalt down it's done the right way

1158
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,880
and there's also a a little more

1159
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:19,920
engineering that needs to be done to

1160
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,760
make sure we can get across la piedra

1161
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,240
the correct way um another comment that

1162
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:25,599
was made by the city council is

1163
00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:27,599
one thing that wasn't initially proposed

1164
00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:28,640
with this design

1165
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,800
was having lights and so what the

1166
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,160
direction that they gave

1167
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,680
back to our public works director is

1168
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,359
that to negotiate

1169
00:49:35,359 --> 00:49:38,480
with koa corporation to add lights to

1170
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,359
the design

1171
00:49:39,359 --> 00:49:40,720
so that's one thing that they're going

1172
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:42,480
to do and incorporate that into the

1173
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,280
design

1174
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,800
so um are there any questions from the

1175
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,599
commission on on this project

1176
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:51,440
um just one if you could back up a

1177
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,800
couple slides where you're sure

1178
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,079
the actual trail there you go um i know

1179
00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:57,040
this is a long

1180
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,720
and sordid tale and that pedestrian

1181
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:02,640
bridge going from the

1182
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,440
central park over the shopping center

1183
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,240
that

1184
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:08,240
is just the perfect example for what

1185
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:09,760
we're talking about with the

1186
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,680
alternative transportation because

1187
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,040
you've got all those homes that are

1188
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,480
going to be in there

1189
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,400
and they can walk to the market now

1190
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:17,599
instead of getting in their car

1191
00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:19,280
and have them go down to la piedra over

1192
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,760
the marketplace

1193
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,240
whatever we can do to secure maybe some

1194
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:26,079
additional grant funding or

1195
00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:29,359
federal state local to get that bridge

1196
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:31,920
a pedestrian bridge built that that's

1197
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,559
just

1198
00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:34,720
the perfect example of how to get people

1199
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:37,280
out of their cars

1200
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,359
into a more healthy community i'm very

1201
00:50:39,359 --> 00:50:40,960
glad that you brought that up mr

1202
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,720
croy because that was a question from

1203
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:44,160
the city council as well what about the

1204
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,359
pedestrian bridge

1205
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:47,839
i mean mr v i did announce that myself

1206
00:50:47,839 --> 00:50:50,160
and jonathan smith are working

1207
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,640
on a plan for the pedestrian bridge

1208
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,160
which we will bring back

1209
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,000
to the commission and then to the city

1210
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,160
council on the first part of the year so

1211
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,119
we're working on

1212
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:00,720
different design options for the bridge

1213
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:02,559
because we want it to

1214
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:04,640
not just be a straight metal bridge we

1215
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,319
wanted to have some design to it

1216
00:51:06,319 --> 00:51:08,480
especially because this is our central

1217
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:08,880
park

1218
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,480
you know there's some great amenities

1219
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,160
there this is the future

1220
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,559
um home of the permanent city hall you

1221
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:15,839
know cocorian theater

1222
00:51:15,839 --> 00:51:17,040
different things like that so we want it

1223
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,880
to be a very nice bridge especially for

1224
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,000
upgrading the trail

1225
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,760
so we're going to provide some design

1226
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,680
options on that and some funding options

1227
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,960
on it as well

1228
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,119
um you look you see the future

1229
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:28,319
courthouse there

1230
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,720
yes sir yeah i'm a judge and i'm hungry

1231
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:32,079
and i need to go over to

1232
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:34,880
you know to employ a local for someone

1233
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:35,440
yeah

1234
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,040
i i don't want to get in my car and go

1235
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,559
out and do that i want to be able to

1236
00:51:38,559 --> 00:51:39,680
take a nice little walk

1237
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,599
absolutely for all the benefits of

1238
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:43,680
walking health benefits stress benefits

1239
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,359
definitely all right thank you

1240
00:51:47,359 --> 00:51:49,119
yeah but around enough judges they don't

1241
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:51,680
walk

1242
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,760
but uh jonathan is any estimate on the

1243
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:54,960
uh the

1244
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,040
the downtime or the off limits time with

1245
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,800
construction in other words how long is

1246
00:51:58,800 --> 00:51:59,280
it

1247
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:00,880
not going to be available to right local

1248
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,960
residents uh we we haven't figured that

1249
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,160
out yet and that's another reason why

1250
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,000
we're hiring koa so when they figure out

1251
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:06,800
all the design

1252
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,400
and the engineering estimates they'll

1253
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,760
they can figure out a construction

1254
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,440
timeline as well so then we can

1255
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,800
notify the residents hey we're going to

1256
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,559
start construction it's going to be down

1257
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:15,760
from this time to this time

1258
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,800
and make sure there's proper

1259
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,800
notification so if someone's not walking

1260
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,000
out there then i was like whoa what's

1261
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,680
going on is bulldozer so

1262
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,319
a a suggestion uh if you could suggest

1263
00:52:24,319 --> 00:52:25,040
to them

1264
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,440
one side at a time so you have one

1265
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,480
available

1266
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:29,680
while they're doing it that makes

1267
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,630
perfect sense definitely

1268
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:41,750
have one question yes sir

1269
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,640
the courthouse that two or three story

1270
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:45,520
building that's

1271
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,839
going up there right now oh no um so

1272
00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:48,559
closer to

1273
00:52:48,559 --> 00:52:52,240
newport road that is a fairfield hotel

1274
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:54,160
way back there oh in the back i thought

1275
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,520
it was gonna be closer to the street

1276
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,880
so closer to la pietra is um those are

1277
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,400
the artesa apartments

1278
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,240
so closer to santa rosa academy all

1279
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:04,000
those three-story buildings

1280
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
well you know that you go down to go in

1281
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,880
there to go to the park now

1282
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,200
yeah are you talking about ride across

1283
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,319
from the park

1284
00:53:12,319 --> 00:53:14,559
yeah right right across from the park is

1285
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:16,960
uh a private uh recreation amenity

1286
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,390
that's for the town homes

1287
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,480
and then right behind the park are the

1288
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:27,349
actual town

1289
00:53:27,359 --> 00:53:28,960
so it looks homes a three-story building

1290
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,720
that's why i wondered if that was gonna

1291
00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:32,240
be the courthouse or if that's

1292
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,480
starting on the hotel way back there no

1293
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,839
they haven't started on the courthouse

1294
00:53:35,839 --> 00:53:37,520
yet no

1295
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,599
i was curious what the building is then

1296
00:53:39,599 --> 00:53:40,720
okay

1297
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:43,119
john if i may oh yes it's actually

1298
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:43,920
labeled wrong

1299
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,440
on this map where the courthouse is

1300
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,800
that's actually where the recreation

1301
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,720
center is yeah or houses where it says

1302
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:49,200
future

1303
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,119
city hall would be directly across the

1304
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:52,400
street from there yeah you wouldn't even

1305
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,200
see the

1306
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,800
courthouse on this map that's right

1307
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,319
there yeah thank you mr powell yeah

1308
00:53:56,319 --> 00:53:57,359
the courthouse would be a little more

1309
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:58,800
easy all i know is there's a building

1310
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,760
going up there and it

1311
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,559
looks like a three-story squared off

1312
00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:03,760
building i was just curious what that

1313
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,160
was

1314
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,400
yeah if it's going in that spot that's

1315
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,599

that's small creek yeah so um in order

1325
00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:33,680
to connect to salt creek we'd have to go

either over

1327
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,720

00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,559
i'm not saying impossible but there are

1330
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:41,599

this will be a short one on the parks i

1383
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,319
know it seems like it's repetitive

1384
00:56:28,319 --> 00:56:30,799
the heritage lake sports park there 20

1385
00:56:30,799 --> 00:56:32,160
acre park is still in progress

1386
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,760
less than a year now before we get that

1387
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,079
as we binge closer to it and a few of

1388
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:37,040
these parks

1389
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,240
that uh like uh centennial park they're

1390
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:42,799

1391
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:44,319

1394
00:56:47,839 --> 00:56:49,680
as we have it we'll definitely

1395
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,599
be having either a grand opening or

1396
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:53,359
collaborate with an event or anything so

1397
00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:54,400
we could have a

1398
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,960
grand opening there and hidden hills

1399
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,000

month for

1402
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,079

1403
00:57:04,079 --> 00:57:05,920
before the end of this year

1404
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,319
we'll be in the city's hands maintaining

1405
00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:10,160
that park and that includes the paseos

1406
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:10,880

1407
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,920

1408
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,760
and that's it for the parks in progress

1409
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,680
like i said i didn't want to try to

1410
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,200
be repetitive but we're almost there

1411
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,400

1412
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:20,960

1430
00:57:48,559 --> 00:57:50,960

division update

1433
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:55,839
general mr hendrix yes thank you uh so

1434
00:57:55,839 --> 00:57:57,440
this last month in november we had quite

1435
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,119
a few events going on and also

1436
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:01,359
our general programming um as you can

1437
00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:03,200
see uh lazy creek had a great month

1438
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:03,920
there and that

1439
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:05,680
is due and mostly due to the fact uh

1440
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:06,720
that was our youth basketball

1441
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,160
registration month where it really picks

1442
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,280
up there

1443
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:10,799
i just sent john an email this morning

1444
00:58:10,799 --> 00:58:12,400
to or this evening to update him and

1445
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:13,680
that is that we are

1446
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,359
almost completely full with the waiting

1447
00:58:15,359 --> 00:58:17,440
list of almost 52 kids

1448
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,720
for our youth basketball program and

1449
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,480
that due to the fact that we only have a

1450
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,079
limited amount of time in the gymnasium

1451
00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:25,119
at paloma valley so once we have a

1452
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:26,400
facility of our own i'm sure this

1453
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,319
program will expand even more

1454
00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:30,400
so that's been a good month there in

1455
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:31,839
terms of the

1456
00:58:31,839 --> 00:58:33,680

1457
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,680

1465
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,040

1468
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,480
that the city decided to recognize their

1470
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,480
and i thought that was a great comment

1471
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,960
to to record and and keep track of and

1472
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,079

little bit lower

1519
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,920

murphy that was right before an led

1603
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,680
change so the walkway lights there

1604
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,680
actually are led so we're retrofitting

1605
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:50,799

1611
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:03,920
brighten up

1612
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,480
the parts tremendously once you change

1613
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,400
those doubles bulbs on there

1614
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,799
and then the next one is the tree

1615
01:03:10,799 --> 01:03:12,720
inventory mapping this has been on

1616
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,799
for our cip project for a couple years

1617
01:03:14,799 --> 01:03:16,640
that actually starting this month so

1618
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,000
what it is is we hired our uh arborist

1619
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:20,799
contract

1620
01:03:20,799 --> 01:03:24,640
west coast arborist uh they have a uh

1621
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,599
a program it's called arbor access so

1622
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:28,960
they'll

1623
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,880
inventory all our trees and the right

1624
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:32,240
ways the parks

1625
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,280
um and it'll tell us what's missing when

1626
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:36,079
we need a

1627
01:03:36,079 --> 01:03:37,920
what it was pruned last or if it's

1628
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,440
diseased or

1629
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,640
if it's in any kind of decrease of

1630
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,559
you know gonna die or even if there's a

1631
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:46,640
missing tree um we'll be able to go on

1632
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,839
to their program

1633
01:03:47,839 --> 01:03:50,240
and then on their uh the program it'll

1634
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,680
be just the gps of that

1635
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,119
so we'll be able to tell each tree we'll

1636
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:55,039
be able to separate trees look at

1637
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:56,799
in certain areas so we're starting in

1638
01:03:56,799 --> 01:03:58,200
the uh

1639
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,799
2012-1 area which is the audie murphy

1640
01:04:00,799 --> 01:04:01,200
area

1641
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:02,319
so we're going to do the parks and the

1642
01:04:02,319 --> 01:04:04,960
right ways there as soon as they start

1643
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,440

1687
01:05:30,319 --> 01:05:32,319

1705
01:06:10,799 --> 01:06:12,880
commissioner reports on committee

1706
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:13,920

anybody

1708
01:06:17,359 --> 01:06:20,880
um just want to say that uh i

1709
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:24,079
attended the uh tap i've got adp

1710
01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:26,400
or atp tap it's getting hard to keep

1711
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,200
track of this but

1712
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,760

01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:30,839
uh with

1714
01:06:30,839 --> 01:06:33,680
rta uh that was very informational

1715
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,430
um i thought that

1716
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,000
they really go anywhere and i think that

1717
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,750
it would definitely behoove them too

1718
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,200
and for us to promote that organization

1719
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:48,960
because they're a great organization

1720
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,079
and i was very pleased to do that thank

1721
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:54,789

for us taking over all the parks or not

1734
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,599
the the city is actively um

1735
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:34,799
working with lafco to try to

1736
01:07:34,799 --> 01:07:38,160
hit that to a close yes because

1737
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,079

we're trying and actually i did give her

1741
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,039
uh one of the reports that we provided

1742
01:07:49,039 --> 01:07:50,960

1743
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:52,880

project that miss huerta is working on

1745
01:07:55,039 --> 01:07:56,160
one of the items

1746
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,440
was the annexation of valley white

1747
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,640
and our goal in that report is to have

1748
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,880
the parks come over to the city

1749
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,880
next fiscal year which would be july 1

1750
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,160
2020.

1751
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,640
very good so that that is a stated

1752
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,039
published goal of the city

1753
01:08:13,039 --> 01:08:15,599
very good there was one other thing i

1754
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:18,400
picked up a copy of the newspaper

1755
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,080
remember we opened the park and we put

1756
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,759
in all the special equipment for the

1757
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:22,480
kids

1758
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:25,600
um i can't remember the name law marsh

1759
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:26,640
yes we have that

1760
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,319
playground yes there was an article in

1761
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:30,080
the paper showed a picture of a couple

1762
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:31,279
people at the park

1763
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:33,920
mother and kids and just a picture in

1764
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,279
the paper with just a little underneath

1765
01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:35,920
it

1766
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,159
and they talk about lisa and everybody

1767
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:39,120
promoting it

1768
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,719
but they promoted that one park and and

1769
01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:44,080
they just they didn't say anything else

1770
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,839
about anything about the park other than

1771
01:08:45,839 --> 01:08:47,920
the fact it was open in menifee now

1772
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,839
and i'm just wondering they get their

1773
01:08:49,839 --> 01:08:51,279
information

1774
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,759
but they don't they didn't give lisa or

1775
01:08:53,759 --> 01:08:55,120
us or anybody

1776
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,159
a little more um for the you know for

1777
01:08:58,159 --> 01:08:58,880
the park

1778
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,719
i mean just one little picture and

1779
01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:02,799
nothing else yet they had

1780
01:09:02,799 --> 01:09:04,480
something about some school play that

1781
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:06,960
was coming up in elsinore but some gay

1782
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,480
play and all that they gave it a full

1783
01:09:08,480 --> 01:09:09,440
page spread

1784
01:09:09,440 --> 01:09:12,560
and here this park with the kids it was

1785
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:13,679
just a picture

1786
01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:15,520
it was when it was impressive puts that

1787
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,679
out huh was this the press enterprise

1788
01:09:17,679 --> 01:09:20,960
yeah okay well they they

1789
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,880
they have they have the discretion kind

1790
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,960
of being a victim of it uh in another

1791
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,600
in another section of my life they have

1792
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,279
the discretion to print whatever they

1793
01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:31,279
want they they can gather

1794
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:34,080
uh pages and reams of information from

1795
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:35,279
the people on site or

1796
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,359
even for the city for from the city for

1797
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:38,960
that matter but

1798
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,719
uh they have the latitude of printing

1799
01:09:40,719 --> 01:09:42,799
whatever they want how long or how short

1800
01:09:42,799 --> 01:09:45,759
so once it reaches their desk their

1801
01:09:45,759 --> 01:09:47,759
editing desk it's out it's out of the

1802
01:09:47,759 --> 01:09:49,920
jurisdiction and control and influence

1803
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,159
of the people on site and of the city

1804
01:09:52,159 --> 01:09:54,159
that's just kind of how reporting works

1805
01:09:54,159 --> 01:09:55,280
yeah and mr emery

1806
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:56,960
just to let you know that uh we did

1807
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,040
provide a full press release and uh

1808
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,640
mr hendricks did even talk to that

1809
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,480
reporter for the press enterprise to

1810
01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:04,159
provide them additional information

1811
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:05,280
that's that's what i figured because

1812
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:06,960
that day they were there we were talking

1813
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:07,840
everybody and

1814
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:09,199
when that i saw that picture in the

1815
01:10:09,199 --> 01:10:11,280
paper just a picture and just a little

1816
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,960
bit of a little blurb and that was it

1817
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,960
i i think you should volunteer to write

1818
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,080
them a letter because

1819
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,480
last time i checked when you go on to

1820
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:20,400
their website and you see

1821
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,480
local news communities guess who's not

1822
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:25,030
there

1823
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,679
we're not included so maybe we should

1824
01:10:27,679 --> 01:10:29,280
all well maybe all the people men if you

1825
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:34,390
should stop buying a press enterprise

1826
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,840
all right um mr nix uh one thing i

1827
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,679
noticed maybe it's just me but after uh

1828
01:10:39,679 --> 01:10:41,120
before the adjournment we don't have our

1829
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,560
list of uh

1830
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:43,840
nice to do things that we'd like to

1831
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:48,239
accomplish um yes the future generators

1832
01:10:48,239 --> 01:10:49,920
i'll make sure that we provide provide

1833
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,360
an update on that uh during the next

1834
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:52,239
meeting i think we just

1835
01:10:52,239 --> 01:10:53,840
we just missed it okay i know you guys

1836
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,360
are not trying to shield anything oh no

1837
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:56,320
no absolutely not

1838
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:00,239
it was just oversight on my part okay um

1839
01:11:00,239 --> 01:11:02,159
all right before we go to the german any

1840
01:11:02,159 --> 01:11:03,280
final comments

1841
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,679
from the commission i would like to

1842
01:11:05,679 --> 01:11:08,000
suggest a future agenda item

1843
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,840
yes i was talking to gloria the day of

1844
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,360
the bus ride

1845
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,679
and she told me that the senior advisory

1846
01:11:13,679 --> 01:11:15,520
committee had been talking

1847
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,840
with your predecessor about getting a

1848
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,120
bus of that kind

1849
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,280
for community services and i was

1850
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,560
wondering if we could have a discussion

1851
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,360
about maybe

1852
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,280
pursuing that idea that it would be

1853
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:26,880
available to service the community

1854
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,199
particularly of course the seniors

1855
01:11:29,199 --> 01:11:31,199
but we can provide an update on that mr

1856
01:11:31,199 --> 01:11:32,640
hendricks has been working on that for

1857
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,800
probably three years

1858
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,719
and provided several different options

1859
01:11:36,719 --> 01:11:38,239
and updates to the senior advisory

1860
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:39,520
committee on that so we could provide a

1861
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:40,239
summary

1862
01:11:40,239 --> 01:11:41,920
to the parks commission of all of mr

1863
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,360
hendricks efforts towards that

1864
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,280
looking at different uh looking at

1865
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:46,560
different grants looking at

1866
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,120
um rta has a like a decommissioned bus

1867
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:50,000
program where

1868
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,320
that was offered before the challenge

1869
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:53,360
with having a

1870
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,120
passenger van of that size like the one

1871
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:56,960
that we wrote on for the t now

1872
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:58,719
is that you do have to have someone that

1873
01:11:58,719 --> 01:12:01,600
is licensed to drive that and having a

1874
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,600
city

1875
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,360
staff person that's dedicated and

1876
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,960
licensed and all that

1877
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:08,560
and plus the insurance that you need and

1878
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,239
the fueling and the maintenance of

1879
01:12:10,239 --> 01:12:11,520
such a vehicle does present some

1880
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,000
challenges so we can provide a summary

1881
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:14,800
report of

1882
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,239
what we've provided the senior advisory

1883
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:17,840
committee before oh good i'd like to

1884
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:18,880
hear about that

1885
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,800
most definitely we could do that thanks

1886
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,719
ricky ricky have anything bill okay

1887
01:12:26,719 --> 01:12:29,520
tony do you have anything one thing mr

1888
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:30,320
nix um

1889
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,640
i guess i'm probably the last one here

1890
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:33,840
um

1891
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,760
i just i was just thinking out loud and

1892
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,280
perhaps this is more appropriate

1893
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,320
me approaching my council member but um

1894
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,600
have we kind of uh abandoned about the

1895
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,280
idea of a minifee tv

1896
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,920
station or minifee channel that way i i

1897
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:48,880
see that as an

1898
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,800
avenue in which we can showcase some of

1899
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,120
our events with respect to recreation

1900
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,640
in other ways and just a mode of getting

1901
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:57,280
out

1902
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:58,480
what we're doing here in the city of

1903
01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:00,400
menifee has that been discussed

1904
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,800
recently um absolutely they're one of

1905
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,080
the challenges that

1906
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,239
that's very typical the last two cities

1907
01:13:06,239 --> 01:13:07,840
i work for and the county we all had our

1908
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,600
own television station

1909
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,400
the way that cities and public agencies

1910
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,719
have television stations is we receive

1911
01:13:14,719 --> 01:13:16,239
what is called public education

1912
01:13:16,239 --> 01:13:18,239
government funds peg funding

1913
01:13:18,239 --> 01:13:20,239
and those are fees that are received

1914
01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:22,320
from the cable providers like comcast

1915
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:23,040
frontier

1916
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,280
time warner um the city was not

1917
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,640
receiving that funding

1918
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,360
so the city attorneys just because we

1919
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:30,560
formed into a new city

1920
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,480
and the cable providers weren't keeping

1921
01:13:32,480 --> 01:13:34,320
up with that that and recognizing our

1922
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:35,280
jurisdiction

1923
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:36,880
so the city attorney's office had to

1924
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,280
work on that and then just recently

1925
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,120
actually i believe earlier this year

1926
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,640
resolved that and so

1927
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,640
the funding started coming in and that

1928
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,080
funding actually went to the

1929
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,840
improvements for this council chamber so

1930
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:48,560
the second

1931
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,640
portion of that is to actually create

1932
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:51,760
the feed and um

1933
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:54,080
feed out so that even this meeting would

1934
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,679
be broadcast on that channel so that is

1935
01:13:55,679 --> 01:13:57,120
an active project that the city is

1936
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,560
working out to establish like

1937
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,480
that cable channel just like most other

1938
01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:02,000
cities have okay

1939
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,600

1940
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,600
