1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,000
All right, thank you. Well, welcome back. This is a regular meeting of the City Council. So our June 2nd meeting. Here we are

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,280
halfway through the year nearly. City Clerk may have a roll call for a call of order for the City Council. Council members,

3
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:40,280
this is Peter. Here. The rose here. Narveyes. Here. Vice Mayor Deanatoly? Here. And Mayor Sicily. Here. If you are able, please stay and enjoy me on the pledge of allegiance.

4
00:00:40,280 --> 00:01:10,220
There are no changes to the agenda mayor. We do have one supplemental report for item eight.

5
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:13,840
Eight A, which is the PowerPoint presentation from staff.

6
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,340
Thank you very much. Presentations tonight. We have the recommendation for our proclamation

7
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:28,320
for claiming June 20, 26 as Pride Months of Council. Would you have your proclamations ready to read?

8
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,560
Yes, this is a City of Napa Proclamation recognizing June 20, 26 as LGBTQ plus Pride Month

9
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,920
and celebrating Napa Pride 2026. Whereas for more than two decades Napa Pride has served as a cornerstone of

10
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:49,960
visibility, celebration, and connection for LGBTQ plus people in the City of Napa fostering a vibrant and

11
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:58,280
inclusive community rooted in resilience, care, and belonging. And whereas LGBTQ plus Pride commemorates a

12
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,480
history of courage and collective action, honoring those who have advocated for dignity,

13
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,960
equality, and the right to live openly and authentically. And whereas Napa Pride 2026

14
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:18,200
taking place June 7 to June 2026, what the theme love out loud is both a celebration and a declaration.

15
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,520
Encouraging individuals and communities to show up visibly, support one another and create spaces where

16
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,920
LGBTQ plus people, families and allies can experience joy, safety, and belonging together.

17
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:37,000
And whereas Napa Pride 2026 will feature a series of inclusive community center events,

18
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,280
including the opening t-dance, Pride, Pet Parade, and Day of Solidarity, alongside a full month of

19
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,920
cultural programming that uplift LGBTQ plus voices, creativity, and connection across generations.

20
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:56,040
And whereas at a time when LGBTQ plus communities across the country continue to face discrimination,

21
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:02,760
erasure, and inequities, Pride serves as an essential affirmation that LGBTQ plus people belong

22
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:09,560
in every neighborhood, workplace, and public space openly, and without fear. And whereas Napa Pride

23
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:17,560
reflects the shared values. Whereas Napa Pride reflects the shared values of diversity,

24
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,920
equity, inclusion, and community connection that strengthens the social fabric of the city of Napa.

25
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I Scott Sedley mayor of the city of Napa, along with the

26
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:38,040
Napa City Council, do hereby proclaim June 2026 as LGBTQ plus Pride Month and encourage

27
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:46,680
all residents, businesses, and visitors to participate in Pride events and to support and uplift

28
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:56,840
LGBTQ plus individuals and communities. They did June 2nd, 2026. Very good.

29
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,880
And I believe we have Coach Bailey and possibly others that might accept the proclamation.

30
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Oh, my gosh, that's a short microphone. Mr. Mayor, Mr. Vice Mayor, council members,

31
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,160
neighbors. Hello, I know that the mechanisms of government have a lot going on here today. Thank you so

32
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:32,280
much for taking a moment to honor and recognize this proclamation with us. Thank you for this expression

33
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:38,520
of assurance and solidarity. I want to express to you today why this matters? And that can't only be

34
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:45,000
done in the modern ecosystem without doing it through the language of Pride, a language of honesty

35
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,440
and protest. It matters now more than ever how gender affirming that our leaders stand with the

36
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,680
communities that make up the tapestry of our country that our neighbors stand with the LGBTQI

37
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:05,000
plus community, whether they can wrap their heads around a gal like me or not. Understanding is not

38
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,920
a requisite for kindness or support. Although kindness is a pathway to understanding and we're

39
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:17,160
lucky that in Napa Valley, we can expect that support from our leaders whereas many others in America

40
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:24,120
cannot and this is the reality especially for the trans community across the country and exhausting

41
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,480
an unending campaign of violence and terror every morning. Can anyone guess what the real trans

42
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:38,280
agenda is? Survive. If we're lucky, thrive. And I am so lucky. Because my community is ready to accept

43
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:44,120
a larger world, I can feel it. And I will be here pushing against the limits of possibility and expanding

44
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:50,200
space and visibility for my queer siblings the whole year round as we'll all of the Pride Committee

45
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,280
and the Queer Leaders Coalition. The queer community manufactures Rajoy from authenticity

46
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,680
an invitation that is extended to all humans, even those who refuse to embrace it.

47
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:10,360
And this year, joy feels like a rebellion. It can be very confrontational, which is why we're divine.

48
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,560
Those of us who are drawn home to our residents and knowing, we're not the ones confused about our

49
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:22,840
identities. No matter who you are, queer or not, the promise of joy can be a terrifying calling.

50
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,560
It can be like moving to stand in a spotlight. In good times, this requires tremendous bravery.

51
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,000
In dark times, it's positively a revolution of honesty and this experience is not unique to the queer

52
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,680
community. At any moment, any among us can accept the invitation to become, to grow, and to expand our world.

53
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,160
The interim since the 2024 elections has been particularly devastating for the transgender community as a

54
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,440
hostile and profoundly corrupt and compromised government, intent on stripping the copper wires out of

55
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:04,360
this country has done all it can to manufacture consent for our erasure. In part, it's because we're the queer

56
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,800
to sure, where the queer to sure scapegoat, a community just small enough and misunderstood enough,

57
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,080
that it's very existence can be spun as debatable. Now for many in this country,

58
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
there are human rests on the laurels that I must not own a mirror.

59
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,960
As if any of us can be so tactlessly reduced. What a language of limitation we've all learned to speak,

60
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,960
and in their lies the true reason that the apparatuses of power looked across queer communities,

61
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:39,480
the real reason why pride really matters. They fear us because my siblings and I give lie to a system

62
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,720
that sustains itself by insisting that it's acceptable to live in misery, to live in reduction

63
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:53,800
and minimization. And at every turn we refuse, we say no. I am so proud of my community.

64
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,880
Napa really is a wonderful home. I love it here deeply and I think that it's ready for a neighborhood that

65
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:05,400
loves out loud every day of the year. We're no one packs the rainbows in at the end of June because

66
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,280
that splash of color that is pride, the idea of pride, revolution, freedom,

67
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,440
resolute, and uncompromising dignity, what that brings to the valley, the opportunities.

68
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,520
What friends I have, what neighbors, we are brave and therefore powerful, all of us.

69
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Recognizing and supporting pride is an act that validates every human. Pride is a space for everyone

70
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,360
if they are brave enough to claim it. Our joy, transgender cisgender straight queer,

71
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,240
it's a blueprint that they don't want you to have for a world without limitation.

72
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,480
When we stand here together, we make a pact to strive for that. So thank you for standing and

73
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,120
solidarity with us today and it really does mean everything in these times. Thank you.

74
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Thank you. Thank you.

75
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Can we possibly get a picture? Whoever wants to kind of join us behind the diaspora?

76
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,080
Does this feel a have a picture?

77
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,080
Come on up.

78
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,360
To do better when we all just get up.

79
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,080
Please to make a similar point about it.

80
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,080
Everybody squeeze in. My height, yep, come on in.

81
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,360
Very pretty. We all ready?

82
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Yep.

83
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,160
We'll appear.

84
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Okay. All done.

85
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Thank you very much.

86
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,440
Thank you.

87
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:28,840
And there are a lot of activities in June. So participate wherever you can.

88
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,200
All right. This time on our agenda is for public comment on non-agenda items.

89
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,280
During the public comment portion of the meeting, the public is invited to address the

90
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,000
council on any item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the council. Please focus your

91
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,760
comments on either past actions taken by the council or proposed future actions be taken by the council.

92
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:58,120
However, if the subject of the public comment is not on the agenda, state law strictly limits the

93
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,440
council's ability to respond at this meeting. City clerk, do you have speaker cards?

94
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,240
I do may or I have a total of seven. So I'll just read out all seven, seven names and folks

95
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,880
going to approach it. Please read out and there's no particular order just if you hear your name.

96
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,800
When you're ready, come up to the center podium.

97
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:25,720
Dalton Piersy, Cody Wise, Philip Trude, Erin Lucero, Jim Hinton, Jim Cress, and Marine

98
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,800
Costello Trim.

99
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Good to see you. Yes, I'm Dalton Jay Piersy, representing local music culture and I hope one day

100
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:45,160
that we'll have a proclamation and be acknowledged for an existing music art that is much

101
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:54,200
much older than other organizations. I've been reading the boards and paying attention to the

102
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:03,480
issue around parking, homeowner parking during Bauderac. I saw Steve's letter and I've been

103
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:12,120
responding on the boards to this. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea, but also I can see

104
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,800
that there's a possibility for our homeowners to do it. I think one of the things that I brought

105
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:27,000
forward was to alert them that with big concerts like this, we get a lot of confidence, artists

106
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:35,160
are attracted to these events because they can come in, they're masked. You know, you don't,

107
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:41,560
you know, oh, I know that guy, he's a, you know, he's a grifter and it can run their confidence games.

108
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:48,600
And I did see that happen in the first Bauderac, especially with parking. I saw a parking issue where

109
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:56,040
our gentleman was allowing people to park multiple cars on his property, then those people got locked in.

110
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:03,240
And then the people were locked in, we're calling tow trucks to come and pull cars out on the street,

111
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:11,720
you know, and damaging cars. So I think really Steve wrote up, but it has to be looked at closely,

112
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:18,360
but I think also to, I wanted to mention, I believe there's an issue of no fault on both parties.

113
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,760
It's like if I own a home and you want to park in my driveway or park on my lawn,

114
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:32,440
I'm going to ask for a waiver of no fault and you get a waiver of no fault for me. So it's a walk away

115
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:39,880
on both issues. I think that's the way it'll work. And that's how I see it working. And the last

116
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,880
porch fest we had, there was no parking beyond Jefferson going towards the freeway.

117
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:55,160
You couldn't park anywhere. There was so many cars parked in there on the street. So I think

118
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:05,560
that it's a clear issue, but I think also to if, you know, he's Napa and other individuals can

119
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:13,560
benefit from Bauderac and they can do it safely and it won't be causing problems. It doesn't

120
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:23,880
cause the city to, you know, have great costs for it. Take a look at it. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr.

121
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Lucy.

122
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:36,760
How's it going everybody? Good. Dear council members, my name is Cody Weiss. I work in the parks department

123
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:43,000
as the irrigation crew lead. I'm also the president of NCEA SEIU 10 to 1 and I'm here to represent

124
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,800
our members today and hopes of informing you of the valuable service we provide to the citizens of

125
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,080
this community and the challenges we are facing. I ask that this message is thoroughly considered when

126
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,560
you meet with the city labor negotiators this evening. First of all, I am honored to serve

127
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,560
the community of Napa and what this city represents.

128
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:10,000
I find my purpose in life providing spaces and families in the community to escape the stresses of daily life and the many beautiful parks our city offers.

129
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
As a public servant, I believe deeply in being a responsible steward of public resources and water conservation.

130
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
I work every day in my role to make sure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely through the services we provide.

131
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:38,000
The NCAA members that you see before you, value the very same things as myself, we work throughout every facet of city operations, maintaining parks and streets, support public safety, provide essential services and help make council focus areas a reality.

132
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Our jobs may differ, but we share the same commitment to serving the people of Napa with professionalism, dedication and pride.

133
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,000
We come here today in good faith as your employees to ask that you recognize the realities facing the workplace that keeps the city running.

134
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
The last several years the cost to live has become an ever-looming burden that is drowning our working class.

135
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Housing, groceries, healthcare, utilities and energy prices all require a larger share of what we earn through service to the city.

136
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Our city grows and service and program demands increase.

137
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Increasing expectations are bestowed on us.

138
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Even still we continue forward the best we can because we care about this community and the people who depend on us.

139
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
We fulfill our duty all while watching our purchasing power steadily decrease.

140
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
The contract you will be considering this evening is not about getting ahead.

141
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:35,000
This contract is about not falling behind and helping those who take pride in their job here to continue to do so with their chin up.

142
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:43,000
A meaningful adjustment to our cost of living will help your employees, the public servants, to continue living and working in the community they serve.

143
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And perhaps one day those who can't afford to live within this world-class city can start to take steps that allow them to fulfill that dream.

144
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000
It helps keep experienced employees that we can't put a value on losing.

145
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
It helps maintain a high level of service that residents expect and deserve.

146
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:07,000
The success of this world destination city is the tourist driven economy and the work our members do every day make that a possibility.

147
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000
I humbly ask that you support us to keep us in your thoughts and the service relied on by the community that elected you to serve them.

148
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
The very people I speak of are in the audience today, they are your employees, your neighbors and members of this community.

149
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Support us that see to fruition the initiatives of the people you represent make an investment in your workforce that the residents and visitors of Napa account on every day.

150
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Thank you for your time and thank you for your service to the city and the community as you support them.

151
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
We support you.

152
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Thank you, Cody.

153
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Thank you, Cody.

154
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Well, that is hard to follow.

155
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
And thank you.

156
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Thank you.

157
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Hi.

158
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I'm more in-trip and I wanted to make a few comments about a parking garage.

159
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I participated in the parking meeting last week at the Senior Center.

160
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And as this downtown garage feasibility study moves forward, I urge the council to do two things.

161
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:16,000
One is to think beyond a basic concrete structure for new construction and push for a multi-use infrastructure model.

162
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
The second thing is to take a holistic approach, not just focusing on one parking garage one site.

163
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,000
More than one thing can be done to make sense of downtown parking situations and frustrations.

164
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Two easy examples.

165
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
One is the surface lot at second street.

166
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Why not use that as an opportunity to test paid parking?

167
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
The other example is the second street garage which really needs to come down at some point.

168
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Chances are very high that will be hiring a very competent construction company to build a new garage.

169
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000
So can we build something into the contract that helps us demolish the second street first?

170
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000
It could be a beautiful central park for the city or make it a surface lot.

171
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
My second point is about forward thinking and creativity with a new structure.

172
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
If we must do it, let's make it the best we can for residents first.

173
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:20,000
I live downtown so I walk everywhere I need to go and I've never parked in one of those garages so I'm one of the fortunate few but I do have to get in my car to go to the grocery store.

174
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Since the 2014 earthquake took out the old safeway downtown residents and workers have been forced to drive across town to train is for basic daily necessities.

175
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000
So right now we have a golden opportunity to solve two critical city needs at once.

176
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Instead of building a single use parking structure, let's pursue what's called a podium design that integrates ground floor urban grocery store directly beneath the parking levels.

177
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
We don't need to reinvent the wheel. California is full of proven examples.

178
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
There's a trader Joe's near fifth admission in San Francisco.

179
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
It sits directly below a massive city operated multi story parking deck.

180
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000
And it's seamlessly manages heavy foot traffic and store logistics in one of the busiest blocks in the city.

181
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,000
I'm Los Angeles, urban rals and whole food food prints use the same layout.

182
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Like many residents, I'm rarely a fan of new construction, especially for a parking lot in the in the heart of downtown.

183
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:25,000
But I would happily champion efforts for downtown grocery store and I think you'd find widespread community support.

184
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Also for the community, but this is only if we really want to be creative with active space.

185
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
What about a family-friendly park on the roof of the garage?

186
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Imagine green spaces with shade structures, something like the Napa Yard with space for food, beverage, music and a playground.

187
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
It would offer the best views of the city and no one deserves that more than the residents.

188
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Thank you very much.

189
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Thank you.

190
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Good afternoon, members of Council.

191
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:12,000
My name is Aaron Lucero and I work for the Parks and Rec Department where I transferred from about seven months ago from public works for a total of two and a half years working for the city of Napa.

192
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:22,000
I moved here five years ago after one visit experiencing the beauty neighborly attitude and sense of the community that the city of Napa has to offer.

193
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I am so proud of where I live and work.

194
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Recently I was informed that the NCEA was offered just a 2% cost of living increase.

195
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
I'm here to explain my disappointment with this.

196
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:44,000
From 2024 to 2025 Napa recycled waste service increased service charges by 11.9%.

197
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Not only that but the city of Napa water has increased their unit pricing in the last year by 8% and NRWS increased from 2025 to 2026 by 10%.

198
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:08,000
These increases are just what we're experiencing from the city of Napa not including PG&E's 4% increase or the 25% increase that we see in fuel.

199
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:23,000
I've been told that our COLA cost of living adjustment is based on the most recent CPI which is 3.8% in the last year which means for six months our union received 1.8% less than the most recent CPI.

200
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:37,000
The bottom line is with a 2% increase for this year our employees won't be able to keep up with even their own employers rate of inflation.

201
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I urge you to please consider approving a higher COLA increase so my co-workers and myself can afford to live in the beautiful city that we work so hard for.

202
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Thank you.

203
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Thank you.

204
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Good afternoon Mayor and members of Council.

205
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
My name is Jim Crest and I live in the North Dap area of Salvador.

206
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
I'm here to urgently request immediate speed enforcement measures on Salvador Avenue.

207
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Since Salvador was repaved it has completely changed the dynamic of our neighborhood.

208
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:25,000
What used to be a local roadway has effectively been transformed into what we frequently call now Salvador Speedway.

209
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000
The traffic speed heading east and west from Jefferson Street and big ranch road has increased significantly.

210
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,000
While the speed limit in the city portion is 30 miles per hour increasing to 40 miles per hour when it hits the county line.

211
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Compliances virtually non-existent as a frequent driver on this stretch and more importantly as a pedestrian regularly trying to cross the street.

212
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I would estimate that no more than 2 out of every 10 cars are actually traveling within the post its speed limits.

213
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
The danger of this unchecked speeding isn't theoretical.

214
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
This pass Saturday made 30th.

215
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
I personally witnessed a crash on Salvador from the vineyard across the street.

216
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000
A pickup truck traveling east on the county section of the roadway slammed into the drainage ditch.

217
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Fliped over catapulted endover and leaving debris scattered far down the pavement.

218
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:23,000
It's hard for me to understand if any way tried to claim that this speed was not a major factor in that wreck.

219
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Well, I recognize Salvador transitions into county jurisdiction further down.

220
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The acceleration and behavior start and end in our city limits and the drivers clear the stop sign at Jefferson or finally stop at the stop sign at Jefferson.

221
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Our pedestrian's neighbors and drivers are being put at risk every single day.

222
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I urge the council to coordinate with not police and our county counterparts to make speed enforcement on Salvador and immediate priority before.

223
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
The additional collisions occur on this portion of the road.

224
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Thank you for your time and attention to this safety issue.

225
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Thank you.

226
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Good afternoon, Jim Hinton, 45 spring street.

227
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Three things.

228
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000
First, I'd like to pull consent item 6J as in joint.

229
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Number two.

230
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Once again, you guys are holding your meeting here at 330 in the afternoon when most people are picking their kids up from school.

231
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Still working, getting off work, getting ready to start work.

232
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:54,000
It's a very busy time and you're the only city in the Bay Area that I'm aware of that insist on holding your business at 330 when it's.

233
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,000
A very difficult time for the working class and the families to come down here and participate.

234
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:20,000
So I don't understand why you keep if you're going to postpone a meeting, why don't you postpone your 330 meeting and make yourself available to the people you pledged to serve and be here at 6 or 630 for the working class people every two weeks.

235
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
If you want to be up there, you want to serve, serve.

236
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Make yourself available for us.

237
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
You work for us.

238
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
We put you there to work for us.

239
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Make yourself available to us, please.

240
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
And this is half of your meetings aren't 330, half of the year.

241
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
You rarely have a 630 meeting.

242
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:49,000
And I know most of you would say you believe in inclusive activity as well as fair elections.

243
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
As a candidate for city council.

244
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I would do anything to be in the room when you discuss item 10C.

245
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And we just heard from some of the SCIU that is going to be very interested in the outcome of that meeting.

246
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,000
But as a candidate, I want to know what they're asking for.

247
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
I want to know what you're offering them.

248
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,000
I want to know how it's being negotiated and what you're going back and forth on and everything.

249
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,000
So then when I run, I can be as well as informed as my opponent.

250
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And I know there's a lot of laws because it's closed session, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

251
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
But I wish the rules were different.

252
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
You know, we sit here every year and we watch visit Napa Valley.

253
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Take 10 million right off the top and the head of visit Napa Valley.

254
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
She's got her weight is up to what?

255
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Three quarter million dollars a year or something like that.

256
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Not counting her car and bonuses and all her life insurance policies and all this other stuff.

257
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:06,000
And some of the people that spoke today, you know, is guy, what fixes the pipes when, so the lawns get water.

258
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
That's real important stuff. That's actually working.

259
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
That's getting your hands dirty and doing something that's important for the whole community.

260
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And that kind of works should really be rewarded.

261
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Thank you.

262
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
afternoon.

263
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
My name's Philip Trude.

264
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
About two weeks ago, I got a call from Queen of Early Hospital.

265
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
My friend had taken, been taken to emergency.

266
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
And the lady at the Queen asked me if I could pick up the stuff.

267
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Past Lincoln and it was pretty pleasant because I was able to drive down.

268
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Newly paid roads all the way down.

269
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Thank you.

270
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,000
And a soft call.

271
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
I just want to say thank you for all the new paid streets.

272
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Thank you.

273
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Thank you.

274
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
I think we got through our speaker cards.

275
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Anybody else in the audience have something for general public comment?

276
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Thank you very much.

277
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Yeah, the parking issue during the bottle rock is always evolving.

278
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And so we'll continue to monitor that and improve that as we move forward with additional bottle rock concerts.

279
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:32,000
So that parking is being looked at from our brothers and sisters in the CSA course of we are all in this together.

280
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:42,000
You know, that's that's the plan is we all work here and we all want what is best for all of our employees from the bottom to the top.

281
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Yeah, parking structures are very very complex and interesting and how we do them and how we do them into the future.

282
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
So that's being worked on currently too.

283
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
The last one I think we will talk about.

284
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Here is the speeding in town and in for.

285
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:14,000
I know I think we, on consent, we have adopted speed limits, but enforcement piece is important, so I'm sure our enforcement, people over in PD is heard your comments and we always look at those areas that the speeding limit is being abused.

286
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:23,000
So thank you all for your comments. Next on our agenda is our consent calendar.

287
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Consent calendar items are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the council.

288
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:35,000
However, members of the public or the city council may request that a consent item be pulled for discussion.

289
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:43,000
There are 15 consent items identified on our agenda for a calendar item 6-8 through 6-0.

290
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:51,000
And I did hear a request to pull consent item 6-j for discussion.

291
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Thank you everyone.

292
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Other than 6-j.

293
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Move to accept the consent calendar minus 6-j.

294
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Motion by vice-mared to not the denatality and move the consent calendar.

295
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Second, second by council member painter, all in favor say aye, aye, aye, opposed item carries.

296
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:32,000
So item 6-j.

297
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,000
This seems like a very important subject.

298
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:50,000
When you've had meetings at 6-30 recently, we've had a lot of speakers come here and ask for sanctuary city and get rid of the flood cameras and they express their fear of ice.

299
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
And I feel like this is something that belongs at 6-30.

300
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Most people would have an opportunity to come here and get involved.

301
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
So I thought you could at least read it to us, explain it.

302
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
So at least it's on the public record for anybody watching at home or whatever.

303
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
There's a lot of people interested in this.

304
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:18,000
And would like to hear how you respond.

305
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Yeah, I know it's all in the packet, it's public record.

306
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:30,000
We all reviewed the grand jury report and we reviewed the response to it from the city.

307
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:42,000
I thought it was consistent and accurate on how we've had addressed the issue, working as internally as we can.

308
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:54,000
We don't really work along with the federal agencies who's responsible for those ice and other immigration issues.

309
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
But we are bound by law to do what we need to do.

310
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,000
But we do not actively, we do not get involved with immigration status of the people we deal with.

311
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
And I think we've been handling it very well.

312
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
We've had several discussions with the public about this.

313
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
We've had presentations from the police chief on this.

314
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:22,000
And I think the direction we've been going to and the grand jury report I felt was accurate and timely.

315
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Anything else from council members?

316
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Mayor, if I might just add, please.

317
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
A little bit of clarity.

318
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:42,000
The item is actually is approving the response from me to the to the grand jury.

319
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,000
And so it's not it's not to go back over what the police department is doing.

320
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,000
As Mr. Hinton has said, we have had people here and they've been here in the afternoon and the evenings.

321
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
We always make point to talk to them.

322
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
We have offered them to speak with the chief.

323
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The chief has gone out and attempted to speak with them and has spoken with them at times.

324
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
But this is really limited to the response to the grand jury.

325
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
It's not a, it's not discussing through the issue again.

326
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,000
So it is in the record and Jim the chief is in the back there.

327
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,000
And he can explain what the department does as well.

328
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I think it's all on their web page as well.

329
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
So.

330
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Thank you, Steve.

331
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Anyone else on council?

332
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I'll move it.

333
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
I'll move it.

334
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I'll just say that, you know, part of the recommendation.

335
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:49,000
One thing that was stated that we'll do beginning July 1st is that, you know, increasing communication.

336
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
I think part of the challenge.

337
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
You know, is that we're competing with information outside of our jurisdiction.

338
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
That creates a lot of fear.

339
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Our leaders, local leaders from the Sheriff Department Police Department.

340
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,000
North Bay response and other leaders really work together to get the right information out.

341
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:17,000
When something, maybe a rumor is on about to really make sure that we con those fears with facts.

342
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,000
So, you know, increase in communication is key.

343
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Continue to build this relationship with community members.

344
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Those are spoke before.

345
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I met them met with them personally.

346
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Talk to them.

347
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
And I think the responses.

348
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's great to continue that conversation engaging with members of the community.

349
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Because fear is something that's really hard to control other than engaging with their community.

350
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Continue to build that relationship.

351
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:55,000
And I think that our practice right now to not share resources and protect our communities is is where I feel very strongly about that we're doing correctly.

352
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:02,000
But I think that communication to fight that those rumors and the national messages were challenging.

353
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But I think, you know, we just continue to communicate with those relationships.

354
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
So, I'll move this side. Thank you.

355
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000
I'll remember the revised move item of content item 6J.

356
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
I have a second.

357
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000
I'll second by Council Member of Painter, all in favor or signify by saying aye.

358
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Aye. Opposed.

359
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Item 6J carries unanimously.

360
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
That does our consent calendar.

361
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Item 7 on your agenda.

362
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
We do have a consent hearing.

363
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:36,000
This is to amend the napham municipal code chapter 2.89.

364
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Emergency and disaster preparedness.

365
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Consent hearing items are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the council.

366
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:51,000
However, if a member of the public or council may request that a consent hearing item be pulled for discussion.

367
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,000
There is one item on the consent hearing calendar for the meeting the afternoon.

368
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Item 7A, which is amendment 2, are having municipal code chapter 2.89.

369
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
This is a consent hearing.

370
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,000
I have no request to speak on the side of Mayor.

371
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Thank you.

372
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,000
I'll make a motion to approve consent hearing item 7A.

373
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
I'll make a council member of Painter, second by council member.

374
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Lourous, all in favor signify by saying aye.

375
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Aye. Aye. Any opposed?

376
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Here is unanimously.

377
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Item 8 on our agenda is a public hearing.

378
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:35,000
This is our city of napham fiscal year 202627 mid-cycle budget amendments.

379
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
So first we will hear a report from staff.

380
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Next we will ask for public comments and we will have a staff.

381
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000
First of staff report and then disclosures in public testimony.

382
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:56,000
So staff on our mid-cycle set.

383
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Okay, good afternoon. Mayor, council members.

384
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,000
We bring before you today the city's fiscal year 2627 mid-cycle budget for the final adoption.

385
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Inclusive of the proposed adjustments we went through at the public hearing on May 19, 2026.

386
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:23,000
The agenda for today will cover proposed adjustments to the fiscal year 2627 budget.

387
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
We will begin with the general fund which does include measure G and then the non-recurring general fund.

388
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Other funds and summaries of proposed CIP changes and staffing plan adjustments.

389
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
And then we will end with a recommended action.

390
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,000
And though today is a brief overview of the information presented at the May 19th public hearing.

391
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:52,000
All of today's topics are discussed in greater detail within the mid-cycle budget report and the supporting documents that are attached to the agenda item.

392
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Okay, general fund with measure G. First we will take a look at the general fund with the measure G transaction and use tax included.

393
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
As a reminder, the general fund accounts for the general revenues we receive that are not related to special purpose funds.

394
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:21,000
It also accounts for general services expenditures for the city including administration, public safety and operating departments.

395
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:32,000
And then the proposed budget, the general fund with measure G is now equivalent to 41% of our overall city expenditures.

396
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:47,000
The fiscal year 2627 budget as originally adopted estimated general fund revenues of 168.4 million and expenditures of 168.2 million resulting in a balanced general fund budget.

397
00:39:47,000 --> 00:40:01,000
This also included fully funding our reserves per fiscal policy proposed adjustments total 1.1 million in revenue and expenditures both.

398
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:11,000
General fund revenue adjustments are recommended based on current year projections, economic indicators and in collaboration with city staff and other professionals.

399
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Decreases and business license tax investment earnings in our normal 1% sales tax are offset by increases to measure G transaction and use tax, transient occupancy tax, license and permits and charges for services.

400
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Overall proposed adjustments would increase city revenue by 1.1 million with no additional one time revenue being programmed.

401
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
General fund expenditure adjustments total 1.06 million.

402
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:57,000
This includes salary and benefit updates that better reflect our current census as well as a reduction for our city's other post employment benefit obligation being fully funded.

403
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000
A reduction for services external which reflects a budget correction offset by an increase in general government contractual cost.

404
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:25,000
A reduction to our internal services stemming from our general liability insurance premium methodology change and then an increase to transfers out that corresponds to measure G support of 911 and dispatch services.

405
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:44,000
To recap the general fund as originally adopted had a budget residual budget surplus of $220,000 with proposed revenue and expenditure adjustments to the adopted budget being nearly equal projected year in residual of $250,000 is projected.

406
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:55,000
This slide also shows that although $4.25 million in one time non operating revenue excess ERAF was used to balance the general fund budget.

407
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:04,000
No additional usage of one time revenue is needed to rebalance the general fund budget.

408
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:22,000
We always like to zero in on measure G specifically within the general fund proposed adjustments for measurable G would measure G would bring revenues to 25.25 million which includes the transferring in a $560,000 in unassigned and available fund balance.

409
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Proposed expenditure adjustments with also bring measure G expenditures to 25.24 million.

410
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Expressing the proposed expenditures for measure G in terms of ballot themes and community expectations.

411
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
We have $9.2 million in streets inside walk repairs.

412
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
$7.9 million for parks and recreation.

413
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,000
$3.7 million in course service enhancements.

414
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
$3.6 million for public safety.

415
00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:04,000
$550,000 for programs for the unhouse and $230,000 for community engagement.

416
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Looking at the non recurring general fund the proposed revenue and expenditure adjustments are inclusive of $136,000 in budget package request which brings revenues to 6.4 million in expenditures to 7.2 million.

417
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:32,000
This would require the usage of $750,000 in available fund balance.

418
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Ultimately the non recurring general fund would end fiscal year 2627 with an estimated $4.18 million in projected fund balance for one time project.

419
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Proposed adjustments to other funds.

420
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:59,000
For all other funds proposed revenue adjustments total $14.3 million in proposed expenditure adjustments total $12.2 million.

421
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:11,000
These funds include our special revenue funds, enterprise funds, our internal services funds, and our capital improvement funds.

422
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Revenue adjustments result primarily from changes and charges for services and intergovernmental revenue along with minor adjustments throughout our other funds.

423
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Expenditure adjustments total $12.22 million in result primarily from increases in capital improvement projects and external services contract costs which are offset by decreases in internal services

424
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:51,000
and transfers out resulting from the changes in our general liability insurance calculation and the city's cost allocation plan update.

425
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Proposed staffing changes.

426
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Proposed staffing plan adjustments would increase budgeted full-time equivalent positions by

427
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:14,000
One, water utilities has proposed adding one water control system's analyst and the reallocation of the water treatment operator position into an advanced water treatment operator.

428
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:28,000
The human resources department also proposes making their limited term human resources manager into a full-time position.

429
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Those budget packages, proposed budget packages have a fiscal impact of $588,000.

430
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:43,000
All budget packages are available in more detail in the 2627 mid-cycle report.

431
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:52,000
In the general fund, we have two budget packages for public meeting compliance and then training in organizational development staffing.

432
00:45:52,000 --> 00:46:05,000
In the non-recurring general fund, we have proposed funding for the downtown specific plan, open space and conservation park planning, and migrating digital evidence.

433
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Also within the non-recurring general fund is the removing of the limited term human resources manager position for the training and organizational development budget package, which is proposed to move into the general fund.

434
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:27,000
The water enterprise fund has two budget packages for staffing plan changes.

435
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:38,000
The water control system's analyst and the reallocation to a advanced water treatment operator.

436
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Proposed CIP changes for 2627.

437
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
We have several proposed changes within the proposed mid-cycle budget report.

438
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
We have included tables, reports, and individual projects sheets for these proposed changes.

439
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Here we will show them broken out by funding source. I'll touch on them briefly.

440
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:09,000
For measure you, a $1 million reduction to the 2627 street preventative maintenance project is proposed reducing the project budget to $1 million.

441
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:23,000
In public art, we have seven newly proposed projects, which includes sculpture relocations, city hall commissions, arts and park, pavement art, and a master plan update.

442
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000
For solid waste and recycling, we have the addition of two new projects.

443
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:38,000
The MDS Southern Parcel Site Improvement Project, along with organics receiving building partial floor replacement.

444
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:47,000
For water utilities, three new projects, along with several adjustments to existing projects within the five-year capital improvement plan.

445
00:47:47,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Newly proposed projects include specific location, specific projects for Atlas Peak Water Main Replacement, Pueblo Avenue Water Main Replacement, and the SOSCO Water Main Replacement project.

446
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:12,000
They're also bringing in 3.47 million dollars and outside funding to accompany these adjustments.

447
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:21,000
So that concludes the presentation of the proposed adjustments for fiscal year 2627. We do have a recommended action.

448
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Today we are looking for council to adopt a resolution, approving and adopting amendments to the fiscal year 2627 budget, and amending the citywide staffing plan.

449
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Thank you, Seth.

450
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Any disclosures from council?

451
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000
No disclosures.

452
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,000
No disclosures.

453
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
No disclosures.

454
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Very much.

455
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:57,000
81 in the audience, which to address the council on this public hearing over our mid-cycle budget revised.

456
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,000
I have no cards in there.

457
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Who cards? Mr. Pearcy.

458
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Let's come in.

459
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Where can I find a copy?

460
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,000
On line, or maybe the update, maybe the clerk can help me?

461
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
I can email you a link to them.

462
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,000
What do you have to be crazy?

463
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Thank you very much.

464
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Anyone else?

465
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,000
All right.

466
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Thank you very much.

467
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Good job. Good job, everyone.

468
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,000
The motion to close the public testimony.

469
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,000
So moved by Mayor Dean Natale.

470
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Second.

471
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Thank you.

472
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Thank you very much.

473
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Back to council for any deliberation questions or action.

474
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
I also remember Nerviah.

475
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
I think we're in the right track here.

476
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,000
We continue to head in the right track.

477
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Thank you for your energy and be able to be in a better place than what we thought we would

478
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000
be before that.

479
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000
So really great work.

480
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Just to add in that.

481
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,000
I'd be very grateful for that.

482
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,000
To be able to pass in this and do some work there.

483
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Also, just a public art master plan update.

484
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,000
That was a big discussion that came up a lot when we're talking about fuller parks.

485
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000
We're really interested in that and how that's going to.

486
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Under update on that.

487
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000
But I don't know.

488
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,000
I think it's really great work.

489
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Those are more concerns.

490
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,000
It's just things highlighted that I just wanted to point out and looking forward to seeing.

491
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,000
It's a great work before.

492
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Thank you.

493
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Yeah.

494
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,000
I would just add to that.

495
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
We had a pretty robust discussion at our last meeting.

496
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,000
So for those who may be listening or looking, you know, this is.

497
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Maybe a short discussion, but after an awful lot of work.

498
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
And it's a mid-cycle review.

499
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,000
I, you know, as council member Nerviah said, I think you've captured.

500
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
What needs to be done and a lot of visionary work.

501
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
So really appreciate that.

502
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
And with that, I would make a motion unless there's want to speak to adopt the resolution.

503
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Approving and adopting the amendments to the fiscal year 2627 budget.

504
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,000
And amending the citywide position stuffing plan.

505
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Second.

506
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
We have a motion in a second on the item.

507
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
If there's no further discussion on council, I'll ask for a vote.

508
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:41,000
On council member painters motion to move staff's recommendation and the second by council member Lerals.

509
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
All in favor?

510
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000
All right.

511
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Any opposed?

512
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Here is unanimously.

513
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,000
Thank you.

514
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Mayer before you move on to the next item.

515
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
If I could, I'd really like to point out Priscilla Wong-A-Rork and Natalie Reed.

516
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Are the other two who assist Seth with the budget.

517
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,000
They're both here in the audience tonight.

518
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000
I think all three of them deserve the recognition.

519
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Because this is one of those things that the easy is actually very complicated.

520
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
So anyway, thank you.

521
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Thank you.

522
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Thank you.

523
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Thank you so much.

524
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Thank you for that Steve.

525
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
You always wonder in the back.

526
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Who's back there?

527
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,000
What are they going to talk about?

528
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,000
It's normally we're all on this side.

529
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,000
And then if there's one more thing I can do.

530
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,000
I'd like to invite Joy Aldridge, our Utilities Director,

531
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
off script to introduce her newest employee Adam Nelke,

Right on.

534
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
We said hello earlier.

535
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Thank you so much.

536
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,000

And he has been here for a total of, well since last Tuesday.

539
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000
So I definitely learning our system getting his feet wet.

540
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Adam learned to tell them where you come from and a little bit about yourself.

541
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
My name is Nelke.

542
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:21,000

00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,000
and the one system that I look forward to leading it into the future

547
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
and being part of the team.

So thank you for having me.

549
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Thank you.

550
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Welcome.

551
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Good job.

Good to find you.

00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Thanks Joy.

554
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Comments by Councilor and the other from the city manager.

555
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Councilor.

556
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Go for it.

557
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Don't forget to vote.

558
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000

Everybody here is voted.

562
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,000
I'm sure.

563
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Well, you're some people here.

564
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Anybody on?

565
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Yeah.

566
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,000
You're right.

567
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
But drop it off at the drop box.

568
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,000
All right.

569
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
We're going to go into closed sessions.

570
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
I'll ask our legal counsel to provide the required announcements

571
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
before closed session.

572
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Thank you.

573
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,000
The council is going to meet and close session regarding four items to

574
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
them.

575
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Public employment and conference with Labor Negotiators related to the city attorney position.

576
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Going to discuss one item of anticipated litigation regarding the workers compensation claim.

577
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,000
And then finally conference with Labor Negotiators regarding NCEA and NCFA.

578
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Thank you very much.

579
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Comment.

580
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,000
I have no comment cards on closed session items.

581
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
All right.

582
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
And we'll join the closed session.

583
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
And there is no 630 meeting.
