00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:20,161
litigation items on your closed

199
00:09:20,161 --> 00:09:22,561
session agendas you usually

200
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:24,198
don't go into explanations and

201
00:09:24,198 --> 00:09:24,999

can be and explanations at

205
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:34,141
closed session time you took

206
00:09:34,141 --> 00:09:34,775
the extra time on this sort of

207
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:37,175
item to give explanations

208
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:39,180
That's just a lot of good work

209
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:39,614
from yourselves.

210
00:09:39,614 --> 00:09:39,980

Please proceed.

224
00:10:08,309 --> 00:10:09,176
Good morning.

225
00:10:09,176 --> 00:10:09,844
The first thing I wanted to say

226
00:10:09,844 --> 00:10:13,347
is thank you for showing up.

227
00:10:13,347 --> 00:10:14,181
All of you.

228
00:10:14,181 --> 00:10:14,582
It just it makes such a

229
00:10:14,582 --> 00:10:16,582
difference.

230
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:18,586
I really, really appreciate

231
00:10:18,586 --> 00:10:19,320
that all of you show up and and

232
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,320
just appreciate the entire city

233
00:10:23,625 --> 00:10:23,891
council and everyone So thank

234
00:10:23,891 --> 00:10:25,891
you.

235
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:28,763
Okay On one long list of risks

236
00:10:28,763 --> 00:10:31,763
for riding a bike, this

237
00:10:33,868 --> 00:10:37,468
litigation is hard to avoid And

238
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,240
my best direction on this is to

239
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,410
the bicycle.

240
00:10:40,410 --> 00:10:42,977
To be your own safety advocate

241
00:10:42,977 --> 00:10:43,578
please.

242
00:10:43,578 --> 00:10:43,878
It really, really helps.

243
00:10:43,878 --> 00:10:45,878
Okay.

244
00:10:47,915 --> 00:10:48,583
And number two, it's really

245
00:10:48,583 --> 00:10:49,283
the thing that's number one

246
00:10:49,283 --> 00:10:49,784
except people are walking and

247
00:10:49,784 --> 00:10:51,784
walking is risky.

248
00:10:53,454 --> 00:10:54,222
I'm I'm a full time walker.

249
00:10:54,222 --> 00:10:57,222
Litigation can be expected on

250
00:10:59,327 --> 00:10:59,994
these trips and falls And again

251
00:10:59,994 --> 00:11:03,594
I'll say to the walkers now

252
00:11:03,598 --> 00:11:04,332
prevention it works I do it

253
00:11:04,332 --> 00:11:07,332
absolutely every single day and

254
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,700
then I'm number three My

255
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:13,374
direction on this is a prop to

256
00:11:13,374 --> 00:11:14,309
18.

257
00:11:14,309 --> 00:11:17,909
It's such a strong support for

258
00:11:19,414 --> 00:11:20,114
the public and for everyone

259
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:20,815
that wants their voices to be

260
00:11:20,815 --> 00:11:24,185
heard which the way they want

261
00:11:24,185 --> 00:11:25,153
to sleep on it For me though I

262
00:11:25,153 --> 00:11:28,753
100 years without a fee is a

263
00:11:29,357 --> 00:11:30,358
lot of money in the pocket.

264
00:11:30,358 --> 00:11:34,829
So for me the big picture as a

265
00:11:34,829 --> 00:11:35,530
big family as one family is

266
00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:39,130
it's time to share the money.

267
00:11:39,734 --> 00:11:40,134
Our budget needs it now.

268
00:11:40,134 --> 00:11:40,602
Please help.

269
00:11:40,602 --> 00:11:42,602
Thank you.

270
00:11:43,905 --> 00:11:44,673
And number four I'd be

271
00:11:44,673 --> 00:11:47,673
interested in when you know

272
00:11:48,743 --> 00:11:49,611
Excuse me.

273
00:11:49,611 --> 00:11:52,714
I'd be interested in who and

274
00:11:52,714 --> 00:11:53,581
what caused the accident.

275
00:11:53,581 --> 00:11:55,981
9.9 million gallons of waste

276
00:11:58,487 --> 00:11:58,853
water could it have been

277
00:11:58,853 --> 00:12:00,853
prevented?

278
00:12:04,259 --> 00:12:04,926
I I really appreciate the extra

279
00:12:04,926 --> 00:12:05,227
information on that as Blair

280
00:12:05,227 --> 00:12:07,227
said.

281
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:09,697
So you have a beautiful day.

282
00:12:09,697 --> 00:12:10,398
A beautiful we thanks for

283
00:12:10,398 --> 00:12:13,998
listening up to all Thank you.

284
00:12:14,803 --> 00:12:15,504
Next is the original If you can

285
00:12:15,504 --> 00:12:16,471
please unmute and let me know

286
00:12:16,471 --> 00:12:20,342
which item or items you wish to

287
00:12:20,342 --> 00:12:20,876
speak to after you as Laurie's

288
00:12:20,876 --> 00:12:23,276
alternate I just for

289
00:12:24,145 --> 00:12:24,846
housekeeping purposes why did

290
00:12:24,846 --> 00:12:25,513
you collect them into consent

291
00:12:25,513 --> 00:12:27,615
and discussion before you've

292
00:12:27,615 --> 00:12:30,150
taken those separately account

293
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:33,755
them all into one like this I

294
00:12:33,755 --> 00:12:36,755
can definitely email you but

295
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,461
this is all on discussion or

296
00:12:39,461 --> 00:12:40,328
it's not It says consent and

297
00:12:40,328 --> 00:12:43,928
then on my three on discussion

298
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:44,799
So all I'm saying is when

299
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:45,500
you're presenting it that way

300
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:48,503
you guys need to mitigate that

301
00:12:48,503 --> 00:12:49,137
so that you can make sure that

302
00:12:49,137 --> 00:12:49,838
you're doing it correctly

303
00:12:49,838 --> 00:12:50,505
because you should be hearing

304
00:12:50,505 --> 00:12:53,505
each discussion item on your

305
00:12:54,275 --> 00:12:54,610
own not acting like it's all on

306
00:12:54,610 --> 00:12:55,276
consent.

307
00:12:55,276 --> 00:12:58,276
So you've done proceed with

308
00:13:00,615 --> 00:13:00,933
which items you wish to speak

309
00:13:00,933 --> 00:13:01,550
to.

310
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:02,500
Nothing's changing your time

311
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:02,684
Them all of them.

312
00:13:02,684 --> 00:13:03,151
You'll have three minutes.

313
00:13:03,151 --> 00:13:05,151
Please proceed.

314
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,221
So for the first two with

315
00:13:06,221 --> 00:13:09,221
the accidents and the roadways

316
00:13:10,458 --> 00:13:11,159
not being capped, it's you're

317
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,159
still have many roadways that

318
00:13:15,497 --> 00:13:16,364
are not being taken care of and

319
00:13:16,364 --> 00:13:17,131
you seem to be putting in Sure

320
00:13:17,131 --> 00:13:20,168
bike lanes But why don't you

321
00:13:20,168 --> 00:13:20,869
fix the roads first before you

322
00:13:20,869 --> 00:13:21,636
go and add anything Because we

323
00:13:21,636 --> 00:13:25,140
don't need to be continuing to

324
00:13:25,140 --> 00:13:25,941
pay litigation settlements

325
00:13:25,941 --> 00:13:29,541
because you guys are failing to

326
00:13:29,811 --> 00:13:30,579
do so and see us three with

327
00:13:30,579 --> 00:13:33,579
this Proposition 218 This is a

328
00:13:35,317 --> 00:13:36,170
totally unconstitutional act

329
00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:36,686
that takes place because it is

330
00:13:36,686 --> 00:13:40,286
setting the bar so high that

331
00:13:41,890 --> 00:13:42,524
it's never going to be met So

332
00:13:42,524 --> 00:13:43,128
you circumvent the will of

333
00:13:43,128 --> 00:13:43,792
the people all the time

334
00:13:43,792 --> 00:13:46,192
especially when you're doing

335
00:13:46,895 --> 00:13:47,195
things like this And raising

336
00:13:47,195 --> 00:13:47,863
fees.

337
00:13:47,863 --> 00:13:48,563
You're never going to have

338
00:13:48,563 --> 00:13:49,197
enough protest That should be

339
00:13:49,197 --> 00:13:52,197
the reverse that you have

340
00:13:52,935 --> 00:13:53,535
enough people in approval of it

341
00:13:53,535 --> 00:13:56,535
that then you pass it.

342
00:13:57,372 --> 00:13:58,106
But it's you know, it's already

343
00:13:58,106 --> 00:13:58,807
been deemed unconstitutional So

344
00:13:58,807 --> 00:14:01,807
it shouldn't be something that

345
00:14:02,478 --> 00:14:03,245
you guys are even using And

346
00:14:03,245 --> 00:14:03,979
this is going to make us pay

347
00:14:03,979 --> 00:14:04,379
more money because you guys are

348
00:14:04,379 --> 00:14:06,379
doing that.

349
00:14:08,216 --> 00:14:08,885
But what you do is

350
00:14:08,885 --> 00:14:09,551
unconstitutional on a daily

351
00:14:09,551 --> 00:14:12,551
basis and you do circumvent

352
00:14:13,956 --> 00:14:14,690
the will and the voice of

353
00:14:14,690 --> 00:14:15,357
the people by the things you're

354
00:14:15,357 --> 00:14:16,580
doing like this when you're

355
00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:19,580
saying it like everything's on

356
00:14:19,428 --> 00:14:20,162
a Saturday if it whatever when

357
00:14:20,162 --> 00:14:20,796
things are on consent you group

358
00:14:20,796 --> 00:14:21,497
them all together and you

359
00:14:21,497 --> 00:14:24,497
expect everyone to, you know,

360
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,300
talk about a bunch of items at

361
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,900
one time and it's like you're

362
00:14:30,105 --> 00:14:30,839
never going to get what

363
00:14:30,839 --> 00:14:31,540
the people's opinion is because

364
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:32,274
there's too much to talk about

365
00:14:32,274 --> 00:14:32,942
And then you guys just act like

366
00:14:32,942 --> 00:14:35,942
it's routine, go about your

367
00:14:36,445 --> 00:14:37,112
business And it's just really

368
00:14:37,112 --> 00:14:37,813
sad because on the same hand

369
00:14:37,813 --> 00:14:41,583
you sit there and act like you

370
00:14:41,583 --> 00:14:42,251
care about what the people say

371
00:14:42,251 --> 00:14:45,851
and you don't And it's very

372
00:14:46,421 --> 00:14:46,989
obvious especially the way that

373
00:14:46,989 --> 00:14:47,890
you treat the people.

374
00:14:47,890 --> 00:14:51,490
But this litigation as far as

375
00:14:52,528 --> 00:14:53,229
this waste water sewer spill,

376
00:14:53,229 --> 00:14:53,929
it's like I don't know if you

377
00:14:53,929 --> 00:14:57,529
guys are trying to be like

378
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:58,667
Mexico or what but it's like

379
00:14:58,667 --> 00:14:59,168
you know, you can't even get

380
00:14:59,168 --> 00:15:00,102
Mexico to do that.

381
00:15:00,102 --> 00:15:03,702
What they need to do you'd

382
00:15:04,606 --> 00:15:05,207
rather engage with business

383
00:15:05,207 --> 00:15:05,841
with them and work with

384
00:15:05,841 --> 00:15:08,841
the county and let's test

385
00:15:09,311 --> 00:15:10,460
the people And you know like

386
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:13,646
it's just crazy the things that

387
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:15,884
happen and you know, now we're

388
00:15:15,884 --> 00:15:16,752
going to have to pay a lot more

389
00:15:16,752 --> 00:15:20,322
money just to fix what damage

390
00:15:20,322 --> 00:15:21,123
this did And it's like and we

391
00:15:21,123 --> 00:15:25,323
also have to pay to fix damage

392
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:26,896
that's done from Mexico And

393
00:15:26,896 --> 00:15:27,630
it's like I mean I just at what

394
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:31,230
point are things going to start

395
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:32,334
to change where you guys

396
00:15:32,334 --> 00:15:33,680
actually we don't have all this

397
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:33,702
kind of litigation all the time

398
00:15:33,702 --> 00:15:36,702
because of the failures of

399
00:15:37,974 --> 00:15:38,707
the city And then you guys you

400
00:15:38,707 --> 00:15:39,475
know all you do is you want

401
00:15:39,475 --> 00:15:42,475
more and more money from

402
00:15:43,379 --> 00:15:44,213
the people.

403
00:15:44,213 --> 00:15:44,914
What Why is that what you have

404
00:15:44,914 --> 00:15:47,914
enough Because it's going into

405
00:15:48,684 --> 00:15:49,418
pockets of people that it

406
00:15:49,418 --> 00:15:50,520
shouldn't be and contracts with

407
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520
people that you should it

408
00:15:54,423 --> 00:15:55,240
instead of doing what you

409
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:55,691
should and people suffer

410
00:15:55,691 --> 00:15:58,691
because of it and it's

411
00:16:00,129 --> 00:16:00,863
ridiculous.

412
00:16:00,863 --> 00:16:01,564
People shouldn't have to suffer

413
00:16:01,564 --> 00:16:02,231
because of your mistakes on a

414
00:16:02,231 --> 00:16:05,231
regular daily basis and then

415
00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:08,170
pay for it on the back end your

416
00:16:08,170 --> 00:16:08,804
double dip in it.

417
00:16:08,804 --> 00:16:09,138
Thank you for concluding

418
00:16:09,138 --> 00:16:11,138
comment.

419
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:12,608
There are two speakers on

420
00:16:12,608 --> 00:16:13,209
the queue No additional

421
00:16:13,209 --> 00:16:13,843
speakers will be taken.

422
00:16:13,843 --> 00:16:14,577
The five minute timer had

423
00:16:14,577 --> 00:16:17,313
concluded Very slow down if you

424
00:16:17,313 --> 00:16:17,980
can please unmute and let me

425
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:18,481
know which item or items you

426
00:16:18,481 --> 00:16:18,915
wish to speak to.

427
00:16:18,915 --> 00:16:20,915
Good morning.

428
00:16:23,219 --> 00:16:24,530
Yes I'd like to speak to item c

429
00:16:24,530 --> 00:16:24,353
as three c as four and see us

430
00:16:24,353 --> 00:16:26,353
five.

431
00:16:28,791 --> 00:16:29,392
Please proceed And c has three

432
00:16:29,392 --> 00:16:29,959
of the ongoing issues to

433
00:16:29,959 --> 00:16:31,959
effectively implement

434
00:16:34,330 --> 00:16:35,310
the program are what really is

435
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:38,310
upsetting so many San Diegans

436
00:16:39,368 --> 00:16:40,102
and I've mentioned this before

437
00:16:40,102 --> 00:16:40,703
I believe one of the council

438
00:16:40,703 --> 00:16:41,437
members responded to my

439
00:16:41,437 --> 00:16:44,437
question Where are these people

440
00:16:45,508 --> 00:16:46,209
who are delivering and

441
00:16:46,209 --> 00:16:46,876
switching out the old bins for

442
00:16:46,876 --> 00:16:50,476
the new bins Are they locals

443
00:16:51,214 --> 00:16:51,681
are the employees or

444
00:16:51,681 --> 00:16:52,415
the contractors?

445
00:16:52,415 --> 00:16:56,615
I like many in San Diego have

446
00:16:57,486 --> 00:16:58,220
had to place numerous calls and

447
00:16:58,220 --> 00:17:01,220
filed numerous requests to have

448
00:17:02,892 --> 00:17:03,426
the bins managed as I had

449
00:17:03,426 --> 00:17:04,160
directed months ago.

450
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,760
The most recent delivery came a

451
00:17:08,131 --> 00:17:08,831
few days ago and when I went

452
00:17:08,831 --> 00:17:09,565
outside to thank them for

453
00:17:09,565 --> 00:17:13,165
bringing me the bin I requested

454
00:17:14,904 --> 00:17:15,405
in DECEMBER the truck was from

455
00:17:15,405 --> 00:17:16,139
out of state.

456
00:17:16,139 --> 00:17:16,545
The truck they were driving had

457
00:17:16,545 --> 00:17:17,240
plates from.

458
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,840
I've forgotten if it was Texas

459
00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:21,744
or Oklahoma but this has been a

460
00:17:21,744 --> 00:17:22,445
consistent issue and

461
00:17:22,445 --> 00:17:23,112
the employees there were three

462
00:17:23,112 --> 00:17:26,712
of them sitting in the front

463
00:17:27,150 --> 00:17:27,850
seat I, I didn't ask them but

464
00:17:27,850 --> 00:17:28,284
they appear to be contractors,

465
00:17:28,284 --> 00:17:30,284
not employees.

466
00:17:33,423 --> 00:17:34,123
So the rollout has really been

467
00:17:34,123 --> 00:17:34,757
problematic and I think that's

468
00:17:34,757 --> 00:17:35,124
fueling this outrage over

469
00:17:35,124 --> 00:17:37,124
the cost.

470
00:17:39,629 --> 00:17:40,396
Let me to as far as the as far

471
00:17:40,396 --> 00:17:41,970
as both of these have to do

472
00:17:41,970 --> 00:17:44,330
with the severe flooding that

473
00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:44,701
took place around the midway in

474
00:17:44,701 --> 00:17:45,301
downtown area JANUARY 16th.

475
00:17:45,301 --> 00:17:48,301
This was one year before

476
00:17:49,906 --> 00:17:50,607
the Choice Creek flooding and

477
00:17:50,607 --> 00:17:51,207
this was an early warning to

478
00:17:51,207 --> 00:17:51,841
the city of the scale of

479
00:17:51,841 --> 00:17:54,241
flooding possible with our

480
00:17:56,346 --> 00:17:56,713
changes in climate and storm

481
00:17:56,713 --> 00:17:57,347
intensity.

482
00:17:57,347 --> 00:18:00,947
And looking back I was in

483
00:18:01,751 --> 00:18:02,419
the midway area when the sewage

484
00:18:02,419 --> 00:18:03,119
spill was occurring and you

485
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,719
could smell the raw sewage in

486
00:18:08,358 --> 00:18:09,260
the drains as far as the Midway

487
00:18:09,260 --> 00:18:09,726
rosecrans area this was not

488
00:18:09,726 --> 00:18:12,726
isolated to the downtown area

489
00:18:13,663 --> 00:18:14,497
or the airport.

490
00:18:14,497 --> 00:18:18,970
This was a regional area in

491
00:18:19,336 --> 00:18:20,103
the very low sea level area

492
00:18:20,103 --> 00:18:20,870
around Midway where you want to

493
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:23,870
build thousands of new homes

494
00:18:26,109 --> 00:18:26,743
and so I really encourage you

495
00:18:26,743 --> 00:18:30,343
to look at both of these

496
00:18:31,481 --> 00:18:32,282
lawsuits as an early warning of

497
00:18:32,282 --> 00:18:33,216
what is to come in the future

498
00:18:33,216 --> 00:18:37,354
and take a lead or take a cue

499
00:18:37,354 --> 00:18:38,210
from the Bay Area and start to

500
00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:38,588
examine shifts and breaks in

501
00:18:38,588 --> 00:18:40,588
infrastructure that's

502
00:18:42,892 --> 00:18:43,560
underground.

503
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,260
What they're finding up in

504
00:18:44,260 --> 00:18:44,894
the San Francisco Bay area is

505
00:18:44,894 --> 00:18:47,894
that there are places that

506
00:18:48,832 --> 00:18:49,499
the sea level rise is pushing

507
00:18:49,499 --> 00:18:50,330
against the groundwater and

508
00:18:50,330 --> 00:18:50,667
shifting underground

509
00:18:50,667 --> 00:18:52,667
infrastructure and that's

510
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:55,405
pretty much what happened with

511
00:18:55,405 --> 00:18:56,106
this case.

512
00:18:56,106 --> 00:18:56,606
The sewer lines were probably

513
00:18:56,606 --> 00:18:58,606
out of alignment.

514
00:19:01,177 --> 00:19:01,811
The emergency system shut down

515
00:19:01,811 --> 00:19:02,545
and the overflow went into

516
00:19:02,545 --> 00:19:06,745
the bay but also backed up into

517
00:19:07,284 --> 00:19:08,510
other communities.

518
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:08,652
So as someone who has studied

519
00:19:08,652 --> 00:19:09,352
this who is working on

520
00:19:09,352 --> 00:19:11,352
legislation regarding climate

521
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:14,570
change, who has worked with

522
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:14,758
Scripps researchers on

523
00:19:14,758 --> 00:19:15,492
the intensity of these storms

524
00:19:15,492 --> 00:19:19,920
and the changes that's going to

525
00:19:19,329 --> 00:19:20,960
occur in our coastal areas.

526
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:20,964
I want to encourage the Council

527
00:19:20,964 --> 00:19:24,668
to not just look at this from a

528
00:19:24,668 --> 00:19:25,335
litigation standpoint but from

529
00:19:25,335 --> 00:19:26,360
an infrastructure standpoint

530
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:29,636
And if you are preparing then

531
00:19:31,341 --> 00:19:31,648
the next storm will be even

532
00:19:31,648 --> 00:19:32,750
worse.

533
00:19:32,750 --> 00:19:34,750
>> Thank you.

534
00:19:37,881 --> 00:19:38,582
Next speaker is John Stump.

535
00:19:38,582 --> 00:19:39,249
This is our final speaker.

536
00:19:39,249 --> 00:19:39,983
If you raise your hand after

537
00:19:39,983 --> 00:19:40,550
the five minute time for you to

538
00:19:40,550 --> 00:19:40,917
definitely submit your

539
00:19:40,917 --> 00:19:42,219
comments.

540
00:19:42,219 --> 00:19:43,860
The city clerk at San Diego dot

541
00:19:43,860 --> 00:19:46,686
gov MR. Somebody can please a

542
00:19:48,859 --> 00:19:49,560
new s There we are.

543
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Good morning everyone And it's

544
00:19:53,663 --> 00:19:54,431
going to be a long day.

545
00:19:54,431 --> 00:19:55,132
No, no, I understand this is

546
00:19:55,132 --> 00:19:58,132
solely on the individual items

547
00:20:00,604 --> 00:20:01,238
or is this public comment also

548
00:20:01,238 --> 00:20:01,938
this is on just the closed

549
00:20:01,938 --> 00:20:02,673
session agenda If you can let

550
00:20:02,673 --> 00:20:06,760
me know which item or items you

551
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:06,510
wish to speak to on closed

552
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:06,810
session items.

553
00:20:06,810 --> 00:20:08,810
Okay.

554
00:20:10,647 --> 00:20:10,981
So I get three minutes per

555
00:20:10,981 --> 00:20:11,515
person.

556
00:20:11,515 --> 00:20:13,915
Thank you very much.

557
00:20:16,787 --> 00:20:17,554
All of the items deal with

558
00:20:17,554 --> 00:20:21,154
users on city property or city

559
00:20:22,326 --> 00:20:22,993
easements and in preparation

560
00:20:22,993 --> 00:20:27,193
for an item later in the day

561
00:20:28,532 --> 00:20:29,300
I've been reviewing council

562
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:31,700
policies concerning such uses

563
00:20:40,511 --> 00:20:41,278
and my concern is that staff

564
00:20:41,278 --> 00:20:44,878
other than the city attorney is

565
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:47,384
interpreting council policies

566
00:20:47,384 --> 00:20:50,384
or legal requirements and that

567
00:20:52,556 --> 00:20:55,556
council policies are not being

568
00:20:58,662 --> 00:20:59,463
completely enforced for

569
00:20:59,463 --> 00:21:02,463
the requirement When any one

570
00:21:04,668 --> 00:21:05,369
uses any property in the city

571
00:21:05,369 --> 00:21:06,300
on several council policies is

572
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,403
that they have sufficient

573
00:21:10,741 --> 00:21:11,508
liability insurance.

574
00:21:11,508 --> 00:21:15,108
And then the second thing is

575
00:21:17,448 --> 00:21:19,848
that whenever council people

576
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:23,887
are using city property whether

577
00:21:23,887 --> 00:21:28,870
it's a profit or non profit and

578
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:32,460
they have a commercial use,

579
00:21:33,798 --> 00:21:34,598
they need to pay the city up to

580
00:21:34,598 --> 00:21:35,990
50% of all of the profit made

581
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:37,990
off that property.

582
00:21:38,769 --> 00:21:41,769
And third, whenever there's a

583
00:21:45,242 --> 00:21:45,910
proposed capital improvement on

584
00:21:45,910 --> 00:21:46,610
city property these are all

585
00:21:46,610 --> 00:21:49,100
under Council policy existing

586
00:21:50,582 --> 00:21:53,582
council policies They have to

587
00:21:56,253 --> 00:21:56,854
submit the plans in advance and

588
00:21:56,854 --> 00:21:58,854
have them pre-approved.

589
00:22:02,593 --> 00:22:03,294
So perhaps some of these

590
00:22:03,294 --> 00:22:06,294
difficulties in see us one,

591
00:22:07,164 --> 00:22:09,564
two, three and four

592
00:22:11,402 --> 00:22:12,103
particularly four and five

593
00:22:12,103 --> 00:22:12,804
could have been involved could

594
00:22:12,804 --> 00:22:15,804
have been avoided just by

595
00:22:17,241 --> 00:22:17,942
following council policy

596
00:22:17,942 --> 00:22:18,543
Strictly it seems like there's

597
00:22:18,543 --> 00:22:20,943
a management problem at

598
00:22:24,215 --> 00:22:24,949
the city So I urge the council

599
00:22:24,949 --> 00:22:27,349
particularly this committee and

600
00:22:29,954 --> 00:22:30,621
make this committee make a

601
00:22:30,621 --> 00:22:33,210
recommendation to rules that

602
00:22:35,593 --> 00:22:36,294
there be a review of Council

603
00:22:36,294 --> 00:22:37,610
policies concerning lease and

604
00:22:37,610 --> 00:22:40,661
use by either for profit or

605
00:22:41,966 --> 00:22:42,566
nonprofit organizations of city

606
00:22:42,566 --> 00:22:44,566
owned property including

607
00:22:48,206 --> 00:22:48,606
capital improvements on those

608
00:22:48,606 --> 00:22:50,606
properties.

609
00:22:53,778 --> 00:22:54,645
The city seems to not managing

610
00:22:54,645 --> 00:22:58,245
what they need to manage and

611
00:23:00,685 --> 00:23:01,352
council staff who are not

612
00:23:01,352 --> 00:23:04,352
the city attorney are making

613
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:06,657

00:27:45,576 --> 00:27:46,176
These include annual progress

775
00:27:46,176 --> 00:27:48,576
reports which have been

776
00:27:51,150 --> 00:27:51,682
prepared by the city going back

777
00:27:51,682 --> 00:27:52,352
to 2016 emissions inventory

778
00:27:52,352 --> 00:27:55,352
updates which the city also

779
00:27:56,454 --> 00:27:57,121
prepares every year.

780
00:27:57,121 --> 00:27:57,821
We also have built in

781
00:27:57,821 --> 00:27:58,455
implementation flexibility so

782
00:27:58,455 --> 00:27:58,989
the city can adapt as real

783
00:27:58,989 --> 00:28:00,989
world conditions and

784
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:03,794
circumstances change based on

785
00:28:03,794 --> 00:28:04,528
our evaluation and reporting.

786
00:28:04,528 --> 00:28:08,128
And then the plan also includes

787
00:28:09,366 --> 00:28:10,670
and foresees a need for an

788
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:10,802
update to the plan after five

789
00:28:10,802 --> 00:28:14,402
years to ensure that it remains

790
00:28:14,905 --> 00:28:15,573
effective and relevant.

791
00:28:15,573 --> 00:28:16,307
The city also reports on

792
00:28:16,307 --> 00:28:16,940
climate action progress through

793
00:28:16,940 --> 00:28:19,340
our Public Facing Climate

794
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:21,512
Action Plan Dashboard which

795
00:28:21,512 --> 00:28:22,246
includes a lot of

796
00:28:22,246 --> 00:28:22,913
the information from our annual

797
00:28:22,913 --> 00:28:23,481
reporting and our emissions

798
00:28:23,481 --> 00:28:25,481
inventories including

799
00:28:27,184 --> 00:28:27,885
performance indicators and it

800
00:28:27,885 --> 00:28:30,285
also provides department level

801
00:28:32,222 --> 00:28:32,923
updates on implementation

802
00:28:32,923 --> 00:28:35,323
status for all 190 actions

803
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:38,388
within the Climate Action Plan

804
00:28:38,388 --> 00:28:39,630
.

805
00:28:39,630 --> 00:28:39,764
So it's in this context of

806
00:28:39,764 --> 00:28:41,764
regular transparent reporting

807
00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:44,100
staff has prepared another

808
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:44,702
document.

809
00:28:44,702 --> 00:28:45,403
It was completed at the end of

810
00:28:45,403 --> 00:28:46,136
last year that also addresses

811
00:28:46,136 --> 00:28:48,536
progress towards Climate Action

812
00:28:49,673 --> 00:28:50,375
Plan goals.

813
00:28:50,375 --> 00:28:51,750
This document is the 2025

814
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:54,750
status update for the Climate

815
00:28:56,460 --> 00:28:56,714
Action Implementation Plan.

816
00:28:56,714 --> 00:28:58,714
The original implementation

817
00:29:00,918 --> 00:29:01,585
plan prepared in 2023 is a tool

818
00:29:01,585 --> 00:29:02,219
to help clearly define each

819
00:29:02,219 --> 00:29:04,619
City Department's role in

820
00:29:06,524 --> 00:29:07,158
carrying out the climate action

821
00:29:07,158 --> 00:29:07,858
Plan and identify as

822
00:29:07,858 --> 00:29:08,559
responsible city departments.

823
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:12,159
It has high level estimates of

824
00:29:12,763 --> 00:29:13,397
city implementation costs and

825
00:29:13,397 --> 00:29:14,980
also includes the council

826
00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:16,498
prioritization scores for each

827
00:29:18,336 --> 00:29:19,300
action in the plan.

828
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:19,704
The purpose of the original

829
00:29:19,704 --> 00:29:23,304
plan or excuse me the original

830
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:25,709
implementation plan was to help

831
00:29:25,709 --> 00:29:26,277
align the Climate Action Plan

832
00:29:26,277 --> 00:29:26,911
with the city's annual

833
00:29:26,911 --> 00:29:29,311
budgeting process and with

834
00:29:30,381 --> 00:29:31,182
departmental operations.

835
00:29:31,182 --> 00:29:31,849
Now the specific focus of this

836
00:29:31,849 --> 00:29:34,849
status update is to utilize

837
00:29:36,287 --> 00:29:36,954
the best available data We have

838
00:29:36,954 --> 00:29:37,589
to evaluate how the city is

839
00:29:37,589 --> 00:29:39,989
doing on progress towards

840
00:29:40,691 --> 00:29:41,293
the Climate Action Plans 2030

841
00:29:41,293 --> 00:29:41,960
goal and then using that

842
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,360
information to make updated

843
00:29:46,864 --> 00:29:47,398
information in the original

844
00:29:47,398 --> 00:29:48,650
implementation plan.

845
00:29:48,650 --> 00:29:52,265
So when it comes to the best

846
00:29:52,770 --> 00:29:53,437
available data status update

847
00:29:53,437 --> 00:29:54,138
uses the following one We

848
00:29:54,138 --> 00:29:54,873
looked at the most recent data

849
00:29:54,873 --> 00:29:58,473
and trends on the city's annual

850
00:29:59,444 --> 00:30:00,245
emissions and how that compares

851
00:30:00,245 --> 00:30:00,845
to the 2030 goal two We look at

852
00:30:00,845 --> 00:30:02,845
different climate action

853
00:30:04,882 --> 00:30:05,550
performance indicators to help

854
00:30:05,550 --> 00:30:06,284
us understand trends in our

855
00:30:06,284 --> 00:30:09,284
emissions levels and helps give

856
00:30:10,522 --> 00:30:11,122
us a window into the real world

857
00:30:11,122 --> 00:30:11,856
Excuse me the real world

858
00:30:11,856 --> 00:30:14,256
impacts of governmental climate

859
00:30:16,428 --> 00:30:17,161
actions including those of

860
00:30:17,161 --> 00:30:17,829
the city and our local partners

861
00:30:17,829 --> 00:30:18,463
but also takes into account

862
00:30:18,463 --> 00:30:21,463
other factors too such as

863
00:30:22,734 --> 00:30:23,401
changes that result from

864
00:30:23,401 --> 00:30:24,340
federal and state government

865
00:30:24,340 --> 00:30:24,602
actions and also just from

866
00:30:24,602 --> 00:30:26,602
general socio economic

867
00:30:28,306 --> 00:30:29,730
conditions.

868
00:30:29,730 --> 00:30:29,841
And then third, we also provide

869
00:30:29,841 --> 00:30:33,644
an up to date status on each

870
00:30:33,644 --> 00:30:34,412
action in the climate action

871
00:30:34,412 --> 00:30:35,146
Plan and that's to evaluate

872
00:30:35,146 --> 00:30:35,714
the progress on how is the city

873
00:30:35,714 --> 00:30:38,114
doing on carrying out

874
00:30:40,885 --> 00:30:41,586
the actions laid out for itself

875
00:30:41,586 --> 00:30:41,920
when the plan was last updated

876
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,587
in 2022.

877
00:30:42,587 --> 00:30:45,587
So the remainder of this

878
00:30:46,357 --> 00:30:46,958
presentation will review in

879
00:30:46,958 --> 00:30:47,458
brief these elements of

880
00:30:47,458 --> 00:30:48,159
the status update.

881
00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:52,359
I also want to talk about some

882
00:30:52,564 --> 00:30:53,231
challenges we've encountered

883
00:30:53,231 --> 00:30:53,965
during implementation these

884
00:30:53,965 --> 00:30:57,565
last few years and then finally

885
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:58,803
also address how staff intends

886
00:30:58,803 --> 00:30:59,503
to use what we've learned from

887
00:30:59,503 --> 00:31:00,710
the status update and from our

888
00:31:00,710 --> 00:31:02,710
regular monitoring and

889
00:31:04,709 --> 00:31:05,309
reporting to help inform our

890
00:31:05,309 --> 00:31:06,110
ongoing implementation.

891
00:31:06,110 --> 00:31:09,611
And then also the next update

892
00:31:10,616 --> 00:31:11,450
over the Climate Action Plan.

893
00:31:11,450 --> 00:31:12,170
But first I want to give some

894
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:14,170
additional context for

895
00:31:15,186 --> 00:31:15,887
the status update in 2020 for

896
00:31:15,887 --> 00:31:16,554
the city entered into a legal

897
00:31:16,554 --> 00:31:18,554
settlement agreement pending

898
00:31:20,892 --> 00:31:21,593
related to pending litigation

899
00:31:21,593 --> 00:31:21,893
on the 2022 Climate Action

900
00:31:21,893 --> 00:31:22,560
Plan.

901
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,560
And along with those annual

902
00:31:26,798 --> 00:31:27,465
progress reports and emissions

903
00:31:27,465 --> 00:31:28,660
inventory updates we already

904
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:30,660
prepared The settlement

905
00:31:31,402 --> 00:31:32,137
agreement also called for a

906
00:31:32,137 --> 00:31:32,804
2025 implementation plan update

907
00:31:32,804 --> 00:31:33,505
and then have a stakeholder

908
00:31:33,505 --> 00:31:36,505
workshop and a city council

909
00:31:38,410 --> 00:31:39,177
hearing related to that update.

910
00:31:39,177 --> 00:31:42,777
We first completed the draft of

911
00:31:43,147 --> 00:31:43,915
this update in DECEMBER 2025 so

912
00:31:43,915 --> 00:31:47,515
just last year also held a

913
00:31:49,220 --> 00:31:49,855
stakeholder workshop and then

914
00:31:49,855 --> 00:31:52,855
in FEBRUARY we released a

915
00:31:54,526 --> 00:31:55,461
revised 2025 status update.

916
00:31:55,461 --> 00:31:56,280
Wanted to note too that a full

917
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:56,695
copy of the settlement

918
00:31:56,695 --> 00:31:59,695
agreement is included as an

919
00:32:00,332 --> 00:32:00,832
attachment to the staff report

920
00:32:00,832 --> 00:32:01,400
for this item.

921
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,670
So now let's review

922
00:32:02,670 --> 00:32:05,670
the findings of the updated

923
00:32:06,905 --> 00:32:07,674
implementation plan starting

924
00:32:07,674 --> 00:32:08,340
with data on how we're doing on

925
00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:10,740
progress towards the Climate

926
00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:13,410
Action Plans 2030 goal.

927
00:32:16,348 --> 00:32:16,982
So one way we measure progress

928
00:32:16,982 --> 00:32:17,615
is tracking how emissions

929
00:32:17,615 --> 00:32:18,251
change over time and then

930
00:32:18,251 --> 00:32:20,651
comparing those changes to

931
00:32:21,653 --> 00:32:22,354
climate action Plan goals which

932
00:32:22,354 --> 00:32:22,654
is what we're showing on this

933
00:32:22,654 --> 00:32:23,488
chart.

934
00:32:23,488 --> 00:32:27,880
So just to orient you to

935
00:32:28,294 --> 00:32:28,993
the chart it starts in 2019 and

936
00:32:28,993 --> 00:32:29,561
it starts there because that's

937
00:32:29,561 --> 00:32:31,961
the reference point or

938
00:32:33,465 --> 00:32:34,990
the starting point for

939
00:32:34,990 --> 00:32:34,833
measuring future change in

940
00:32:34,833 --> 00:32:35,133
emissions in the Climate Action

941
00:32:35,133 --> 00:32:35,834
Plan.

942
00:32:35,834 --> 00:32:39,434
And then the green line going

943
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:40,706
across the top that's showing

944
00:32:40,706 --> 00:32:41,406
that if no action were taken

945
00:32:41,406 --> 00:32:44,406
emissions would actually be a

946
00:32:45,511 --> 00:32:45,810
bit higher in the future and by

947
00:32:45,810 --> 00:32:46,578
2035.

948
00:32:46,578 --> 00:32:50,178
Now if we look down to

949
00:32:50,282 --> 00:32:50,916
the lower right those two

950
00:32:50,916 --> 00:32:53,916
circle excuse me those two

951
00:32:54,853 --> 00:32:55,254
circles are showing 2030 target

952
00:32:55,254 --> 00:32:55,821
2035 target.

953
00:32:55,821 --> 00:32:56,422
Those are the goals of

954
00:32:56,422 --> 00:32:58,822
the Climate Action plan.

955
00:33:01,393 --> 00:33:01,994
And then that to align moving

956
00:33:01,994 --> 00:33:04,994
down into the left from

957
00:33:05,498 --> 00:33:06,231
the order circle of 2019 that's

958
00:33:06,231 --> 00:33:06,899
showing a steady annual pace of

959
00:33:06,899 --> 00:33:08,899
emissions reductions needed

960
00:33:11,803 --> 00:33:12,438
each year to meet the 2030

961
00:33:12,438 --> 00:33:13,105
target which ends up being

962
00:33:13,105 --> 00:33:16,105
about half a million metric

963
00:33:18,143 --> 00:33:18,911
tons of emissions each year.

964
00:33:18,911 --> 00:33:19,778
Just a quick note on that.

965
00:33:19,778 --> 00:33:22,778
This is a straight line

966
00:33:22,914 --> 00:33:23,649
reduction from 2019 to 2030.

967
00:33:23,649 --> 00:33:24,350
That's not something that comes

968
00:33:24,350 --> 00:33:25,830
from the Climate Action Plan.

969
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:28,830
The Climate Action Plan doesn't

970
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:28,887
require annual reductions in

971
00:33:28,887 --> 00:33:29,555
emissions.

972
00:33:29,555 --> 00:33:30,255
We provide this information

973
00:33:30,255 --> 00:33:32,655
purely for reference purposes

974
00:33:34,927 --> 00:33:35,561
just trying to provide some

975
00:33:35,561 --> 00:33:36,228
context for how the city's

976
00:33:36,228 --> 00:33:36,729
emissions are doing and how

977
00:33:36,729 --> 00:33:38,729
they're trending.

978
00:33:41,233 --> 00:33:42,100
And then finally in the upper

979
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:42,634
left, if you look at those blue

980
00:33:42,634 --> 00:33:43,335
circles, those are showing

981
00:33:43,335 --> 00:33:45,735
actual emissions updates We've

982
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:49,473
prepared each year since 2019.

983
00:33:50,910 --> 00:33:51,643
The most recent year we have is

984
00:33:51,643 --> 00:33:52,377
for 2023 and that's because

985
00:33:52,377 --> 00:33:53,450
that's the most recent year for

986
00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:56,450
which we have complete data.

987
00:33:57,783 --> 00:33:58,483
We will have updated data for

988
00:33:58,483 --> 00:33:59,151
2024 soon and that will be

989
00:33:59,151 --> 00:34:02,151
included in our next annual

990
00:34:03,422 --> 00:34:04,122
progress report which we'll

991
00:34:04,122 --> 00:34:04,523
have released here in the next

992
00:34:04,523 --> 00:34:05,357
few months.

993
00:34:05,357 --> 00:34:09,270
So if you take away from this

994
00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:09,661
slide the first is that

995
00:34:09,661 --> 00:34:11,661
compared to 2019 emissions

996
00:34:14,166 --> 00:34:15,134
levels are down 19%.

997
00:34:15,134 --> 00:34:15,667
So we are seeing a trend in

998
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:17,667
the right direction.

999
00:34:19,104 --> 00:34:19,805
However second, when we look at

1000
00:34:19,805 --> 00:34:22,805
year over year change from 22

1001
00:34:24,276 --> 00:34:24,944
to 23, we do see a slight

1002
00:34:24,944 --> 00:34:25,645
uptick with emissions being

1003
00:34:25,645 --> 00:34:26,111
slightly higher than they were

1004
00:34:26,111 --> 00:34:28,111
the year before.

1005
00:34:29,449 --> 00:34:30,149
And then third, if you take a

1006
00:34:30,149 --> 00:34:30,816
look at the darker blue circle

1007
00:34:30,816 --> 00:34:33,216
for 2023 and that's showing

1008
00:34:35,354 --> 00:34:36,210
that emissions in 2023 were

1009
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:38,421
about 3.5% higher than what

1010
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:41,794
would be expected if we were on

1011
00:34:41,794 --> 00:34:42,528
that straight line, that linear

1012
00:34:42,528 --> 00:34:42,828
path straight down from 2019 to

1013
00:34:42,828 --> 00:34:44,828
2030.

1014
00:34:48,567 --> 00:34:49,168
I also want to point out over

1015
00:34:49,168 --> 00:34:50,360
on this slide that it's

1016
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,438
important to keep in mind that

1017
00:34:52,438 --> 00:34:53,172
for 2023 I was the first full

1018
00:34:53,172 --> 00:34:53,873
calendar year after the Climate

1019
00:34:53,873 --> 00:34:56,873
Action Plan was last updated.

1020
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:58,711
So the results we're looking at

1021
00:34:58,711 --> 00:35:01,711
here show pretty early stages

1022
00:35:03,884 --> 00:35:05,510
of plan implementation.

1023
00:35:05,510 --> 00:35:08,651
>> Also we can kind of break

1024
00:35:09,855 --> 00:35:10,590
down the emissions a little bit

1025
00:35:10,590 --> 00:35:11,290
further to understand why we're

1026
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:11,624
seeing those trends that we're

1027
00:35:11,624 --> 00:35:13,624
seeing.

1028
00:35:15,928 --> 00:35:16,596
There are a lot of different

1029
00:35:16,596 --> 00:35:17,196
activities and sources that

1030
00:35:17,196 --> 00:35:17,563
contribute to the city's

1031
00:35:17,563 --> 00:35:18,264
emissions.

1032
00:35:18,264 --> 00:35:21,864
But when we categorize them we

1033
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:22,835
can see that most emissions

1034
00:35:22,835 --> 00:35:23,702
come from just a few sources.

1035
00:35:23,702 --> 00:35:24,404
So first of all, more than half

1036
00:35:24,404 --> 00:35:27,404
of the city's emissions come

1037
00:35:28,374 --> 00:35:28,741
from driving vehicles around

1038
00:35:28,741 --> 00:35:29,375
the city.

1039
00:35:29,375 --> 00:35:30,109
Those people moving around

1040
00:35:30,109 --> 00:35:30,743
doing their day to day errands,

1041
00:35:30,743 --> 00:35:33,143
the movement of products,

1042
00:35:34,447 --> 00:35:35,114
the movement of goods.

1043
00:35:35,114 --> 00:35:35,781
So that's more than half.

1044
00:35:35,781 --> 00:35:36,482
And then the other the other

1045
00:35:36,482 --> 00:35:37,216
big category comes with how we

1046
00:35:37,216 --> 00:35:39,752
use energy in our buildings and

1047
00:35:39,752 --> 00:35:40,486
homes.

1048
00:35:40,486 --> 00:35:41,154
And so that's an additional

1049
00:35:41,154 --> 00:35:43,554
about 41% of emissions It's

1050
00:35:46,592 --> 00:35:47,160
roughly split between using

1051
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,560
natural gas and using

1052
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,560
electricity.

1053
00:35:50,963 --> 00:35:51,631
So if we add up to those three

1054
00:35:51,631 --> 00:35:52,640
sources, that's about 96% of

1055
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,640
all emissions.

1056
00:35:57,403 --> 00:35:58,104
Now if we take a look at some

1057
00:35:58,104 --> 00:35:58,772
of the performance indicators

1058
00:35:58,772 --> 00:36:01,772
that can help us understand

1059
00:36:02,410 --> 00:36:02,608
some of the trends we just saw

1060
00:36:02,608 --> 00:36:03,409
in the previous chart.

1061
00:36:03,409 --> 00:36:07,900
So both with respect to seeing

1062
00:36:08,381 --> 00:36:09,820
the downward trend from 2019 to

1063
00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:12,820
2023 and then a slight uptick

1064
00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:14,320
from 22 to 23, the changes have

1065
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:14,954
to do with changes in vehicle

1066
00:36:14,954 --> 00:36:17,354
use, driving patterns and

1067
00:36:19,993 --> 00:36:20,760
electricity sources and also

1068
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,194
how energy is used at home and

1069
00:36:21,194 --> 00:36:23,194
in buildings.

1070
00:36:25,231 --> 00:36:25,732
So to start off we look at 23

1071
00:36:25,732 --> 00:36:26,466
compared to 2019.

1072
00:36:26,466 --> 00:36:26,966
We see more use of electric out

1073
00:36:26,966 --> 00:36:28,966
of clean vehicles.

1074
00:36:31,504 --> 00:36:32,171
We see less driving.

1075
00:36:32,171 --> 00:36:32,805
We have cleaner electricity

1076
00:36:32,805 --> 00:36:36,405
also more If you use more

1077
00:36:36,676 --> 00:36:37,343
efficient use of natural gas

1078
00:36:37,343 --> 00:36:37,710
and electricity in homes and

1079
00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:39,710
buildings.

1080
00:36:41,615 --> 00:36:42,348
Then if we look at 2022 for

1081
00:36:42,348 --> 00:36:42,882
some of those indicators, we do

1082
00:36:42,882 --> 00:36:43,483
still see trends in

1083
00:36:43,483 --> 00:36:45,483
the positive direction.

1084
00:36:47,687 --> 00:36:48,555
But for those shown in red we

1085
00:36:48,555 --> 00:36:49,122
do see a little bit of an

1086
00:36:49,122 --> 00:36:49,489
uptick in the opposite

1087
00:36:49,489 --> 00:36:50,290
direction.

1088
00:36:50,290 --> 00:36:54,193
So we do see a little bit more

1089
00:36:54,193 --> 00:36:54,827
driving.

1090
00:36:54,827 --> 00:36:55,461
Electricity remains clean.

1091
00:36:55,461 --> 00:36:56,129
It remains more than half

1092
00:36:56,129 --> 00:36:59,129
renewable, just a little bit

1093
00:37:00,166 --> 00:37:00,466
less so than it was the prior

1094
00:37:00,466 --> 00:37:01,234
year.

1095
00:37:01,234 --> 00:37:05,434
And then we do see a minor

1096
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:06,640
incremental increase in gas use

1097
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,373
as well.

1098
00:37:07,373 --> 00:37:07,974
So apart from the data, another

1099
00:37:07,974 --> 00:37:10,974
way that we evaluate and

1100
00:37:12,345 --> 00:37:13,790
progress towards goals is

1101
00:37:13,790 --> 00:37:13,713
looking at how city departments

1102
00:37:13,713 --> 00:37:14,414
are doing in carrying out

1103
00:37:14,414 --> 00:37:14,714
the work of the Climate Action

1104
00:37:14,714 --> 00:37:16,714
Plan.

1105
00:37:19,219 --> 00:37:19,852
So overall about 3 in 4 about

1106
00:37:19,852 --> 00:37:22,252
75% of the 190 actions in

1107
00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:24,491
the plan are either underway or

1108
00:37:24,491 --> 00:37:25,225
already complete.

1109
00:37:25,225 --> 00:37:29,425
And a quick note about the ones

1110
00:37:30,530 --> 00:37:31,398
that are in progress.

1111
00:37:31,398 --> 00:37:32,310
For many of those about two

1112
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:32,566
thirds of those, those are

1113
00:37:32,566 --> 00:37:34,566
continuous actions.

1114
00:37:36,636 --> 00:37:37,303
So that represents just kind of

1115
00:37:37,303 --> 00:37:37,937
the regular everyday ongoing

1116
00:37:37,937 --> 00:37:38,638
work of city departments.

1117
00:37:38,638 --> 00:37:41,638
And then the remainder that's

1118
00:37:42,475 --> 00:37:43,343
in progress.

1119
00:37:43,343 --> 00:37:44,100
That's sort of an action with

1120
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:44,544
you start it's worked on and

1121
00:37:44,544 --> 00:37:46,544
then it's complete.

1122
00:37:47,781 --> 00:37:48,515
It's more of a finite action.

1123
00:37:48,515 --> 00:37:52,115
So taking a look at this

1124
00:37:53,253 --> 00:37:53,954
information on this slide and

1125
00:37:53,954 --> 00:37:54,588
the previous ones we have seen

1126
00:37:54,588 --> 00:37:56,988
some progress towards our

1127
00:37:59,826 --> 00:38:00,660
climate action Plan goals.

1128
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:01,394
We have seen a lot of work

1129
00:38:01,394 --> 00:38:01,962
happening the last few years at

1130
00:38:01,962 --> 00:38:02,562
the city to implement

1131
00:38:02,562 --> 00:38:04,962
the Climate Action Plan.

1132
00:38:05,732 --> 00:38:06,333
A lot of work across city

1133
00:38:06,333 --> 00:38:06,900
departments and this is

1134
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:07,534
the result of a lot of

1135
00:38:07,534 --> 00:38:09,934
coordination and hard work

1136
00:38:11,171 --> 00:38:12,500
across city government.

1137
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:12,672
And I think it's worth taking a

1138
00:38:12,672 --> 00:38:15,720
moment to acknowledge that.

1139
00:38:17,878 --> 00:38:18,545
But at the same time we want to

1140
00:38:18,545 --> 00:38:22,145
be clear to meet the Climate

1141
00:38:23,283 --> 00:38:24,500
Action Plans goals.

1142
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:26,450
Additional sweeping changes are

1143
00:38:28,889 --> 00:38:29,189
needed and not just by the city

1144
00:38:29,189 --> 00:38:29,890
.

1145
00:38:29,890 --> 00:38:30,557
The scale of climate change is

1146
00:38:30,557 --> 00:38:31,324
huge and so is the scale of

1147
00:38:31,324 --> 00:38:34,324
changes needed to address this

1148
00:38:34,628 --> 00:38:35,396
problem.

1149
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:36,263
And yes, the city needs to do

1150
00:38:36,263 --> 00:38:39,967
its part and we have more work

1151
00:38:39,967 --> 00:38:40,834
to do.

1152
00:38:40,834 --> 00:38:41,568
But to meet our goals our part

1153
00:38:41,568 --> 00:38:44,568
needs to happen in coordination

1154
00:38:45,772 --> 00:38:46,406
with actions across really

1155
00:38:46,406 --> 00:38:47,410
every level of government,

1156
00:38:47,410 --> 00:38:47,374
across the economy, across

1157
00:38:47,374 --> 00:38:49,374
society.

1158
00:38:51,711 --> 00:38:52,379
If we think back to 2022 when

1159
00:38:52,379 --> 00:38:53,130
the Climate Action Plan was

1160
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:56,130
last updated, we had some

1161
00:38:58,850 --> 00:38:58,785
examples of this type of large

1162
00:38:58,785 --> 00:38:59,486
scale action and governmental

1163
00:38:59,486 --> 00:38:59,786
coordination starting to take

1164
00:38:59,786 --> 00:39:01,786
place.

1165
00:39:03,724 --> 00:39:04,424
For example, if we look at

1166
00:39:04,424 --> 00:39:04,958
the federal level we had bills

1167
00:39:04,958 --> 00:39:05,625
like the bipartisan

1168
00:39:05,625 --> 00:39:07,625
Infrastructure Law Inflation

1169
00:39:09,496 --> 00:39:10,230
Reduction Act We were seeing

1170
00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:10,697
several billions of dollars for

1171
00:39:10,697 --> 00:39:12,697
climate action.

1172
00:39:14,635 --> 00:39:15,302
And that included grant funding

1173
00:39:15,302 --> 00:39:17,702
for cities including ours.

1174
00:39:20,707 --> 00:39:21,375
Unfortunately we're in a very

1175
00:39:21,375 --> 00:39:22,109
different environment now in

1176
00:39:22,109 --> 00:39:22,810
2026 and there are very serious

1177
00:39:22,810 --> 00:39:25,810
challenges to overcome to meet

1178
00:39:26,547 --> 00:39:27,214
the climate Action Plan goals.

1179
00:39:27,214 --> 00:39:27,915
For one, there's been a

1180
00:39:27,915 --> 00:39:30,315
significant change in federal

1181
00:39:32,452 --> 00:39:33,286
funding priorities.

1182
00:39:33,286 --> 00:39:34,870
It's been a strong shift away

1183
00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:37,687
from climate action and in many

1184
00:39:38,580 --> 00:39:38,692
cases toward activities that

1185
00:39:38,692 --> 00:39:41,920
make climate change worse.

1186
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:44,431
At the same time there's been a

1187
00:39:44,431 --> 00:39:45,132
major rollback of the Federal

1188
00:39:45,132 --> 00:39:47,132
government's legal regulatory

1189
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:50,370
support for climate action.

1190
00:39:50,370 --> 00:39:50,704
We've seen the current

1191
00:39:50,704 --> 00:39:53,104
administration take steps to

1192
00:39:54,909 --> 00:39:55,576
end federal authority to even

1193
00:39:55,576 --> 00:39:55,843
address climate emissions at

1194
00:39:55,843 --> 00:39:56,543
all.

1195
00:39:56,543 --> 00:39:59,543
They moved to weaken standards

1196
00:40:00,447 --> 00:40:00,948
for clean cars, reduce support

1197
00:40:00,948 --> 00:40:01,615
for clean energy.

1198
00:40:01,615 --> 00:40:02,283
And we've had federal court

1199
00:40:02,283 --> 00:40:04,683
decisions that favor natural

1200
00:40:05,853 --> 00:40:06,387
gas use over efficient clean

1201
00:40:06,387 --> 00:40:08,387
electric buildings.

1202
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:12,192
And then apart from what's

1203
00:40:12,192 --> 00:40:12,860
happening federally, there are

1204
00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:13,260
a couple other factors worth

1205
00:40:13,260 --> 00:40:15,260
mentioning.

1206
00:40:17,431 --> 00:40:18,132
And both have to do with

1207
00:40:18,132 --> 00:40:18,599
the cost of climate action and

1208
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:20,999
who pays for it.

1209
00:40:21,702 --> 00:40:22,336
For one, San Diego was already

1210
00:40:22,336 --> 00:40:22,903
one of the most expensive

1211
00:40:22,903 --> 00:40:25,303
cities in the country.

1212
00:40:27,141 --> 00:40:27,841
That includes housing costs,

1213
00:40:27,841 --> 00:40:28,208
electricity bills, other costs

1214
00:40:28,208 --> 00:40:30,208
of living.

1215
00:40:32,213 --> 00:40:32,846
Because many climate actions

1216
00:40:32,846 --> 00:40:33,547
have potential to increase

1217
00:40:33,547 --> 00:40:34,148
costs for residents, residents

1218
00:40:34,148 --> 00:40:36,548
and businesses, we have

1219
00:40:37,218 --> 00:40:37,918
the challenge of making

1220
00:40:37,918 --> 00:40:38,619
progress towards climate goals

1221
00:40:38,619 --> 00:40:41,619
without making San Diego more

1222
00:40:43,691 --> 00:40:44,458
unaffordable.

1223
00:40:44,458 --> 00:40:45,159
And one way to offset those

1224
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:45,793
costs and pay for climate work

1225
00:40:45,793 --> 00:40:48,193
is with public investment.

1226
00:40:48,563 --> 00:40:49,230
That can include a lot of

1227
00:40:49,230 --> 00:40:49,930
things could be rebates for

1228
00:40:49,930 --> 00:40:52,930
the higher costs of purchasing

1229
00:40:53,901 --> 00:40:54,635
and using new equipment, new

1230
00:40:54,635 --> 00:40:55,169
technologies that could pay for

1231
00:40:55,169 --> 00:40:55,636
the new and upgraded

1232
00:40:55,636 --> 00:40:57,636
infrastructure.

1233
00:40:59,173 --> 00:40:59,874
We need to meet our goals.

1234
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:00,541
However, we're currently in a

1235
00:41:00,541 --> 00:41:03,541
period of tight budgets of

1236
00:41:05,446 --> 00:41:06,113
limited government funding so

1237
00:41:06,113 --> 00:41:06,647
many programs that could pay

1238
00:41:06,647 --> 00:41:07,348
for climate action.

1239
00:41:07,348 --> 00:41:09,748
Right now they're underfunded,

1240
00:41:09,951 --> 00:41:10,818
they're delayed.

1241
00:41:10,818 --> 00:41:11,685
They're just not funded at all.

1242
00:41:11,685 --> 00:41:15,285
As a result, at least for

1243
00:41:15,356 --> 00:41:16,570
the time being, we must look

1244
00:41:16,570 --> 00:41:19,657
for other ways to move our

1245
00:41:21,429 --> 00:41:22,960
climate work forward so that we

1246
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:22,396
as staff have already doing

1247
00:41:22,396 --> 00:41:23,102
that.

1248
00:41:23,102 --> 00:41:26,100
And we're starting to look to

1249
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:26,867
potential alternative funding

1250
00:41:26,867 --> 00:41:27,168
sources for the Climate Action

1251
00:41:27,168 --> 00:41:27,868
Plan.

1252
00:41:27,868 --> 00:41:28,636
And we intend to make that a

1253
00:41:28,636 --> 00:41:31,572
priority of our work going

1254
00:41:31,572 --> 00:41:32,440
forward.

1255
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,140
>> And also despite all despite

1256
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:33,841
these challenges doesn't mean

1257
00:41:33,841 --> 00:41:36,841
the city isn't doing anything

1258
00:41:36,944 --> 00:41:37,578
that the city does continue to

1259
00:41:37,578 --> 00:41:38,212
make progress and work on

1260
00:41:38,212 --> 00:41:40,612
making progress toward our

1261
00:41:42,817 --> 00:41:43,584
climate Action plan.

1262
00:41:43,584 --> 00:41:44,218
This is not a complete list

1263
00:41:44,218 --> 00:41:46,618
here but a representative

1264
00:41:47,721 --> 00:41:48,456
example of some of the good

1265
00:41:48,456 --> 00:41:49,257
work that's going on right now.

1266
00:41:49,257 --> 00:41:52,760
So we are providing rebates for

1267
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,394
low income households to

1268
00:41:53,394 --> 00:41:54,280
receive efficient electric

1269
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,428
appliances in their homes.

1270
00:41:58,650 --> 00:41:58,766
We continue to update our plans

1271
00:41:58,766 --> 00:41:59,433
to allow more homes including

1272
00:41:59,433 --> 00:42:01,833
affordable ones near public

1273
00:42:03,704 --> 00:42:04,405
transit and improve options for

1274
00:42:04,405 --> 00:42:05,273
people to walk bike road use

1275
00:42:05,273 --> 00:42:08,676
transit so they can get around

1276
00:42:08,676 --> 00:42:09,377
with less reliance on a

1277
00:42:09,377 --> 00:42:12,977
personal car or in the process

1278
00:42:13,981 --> 00:42:14,682
of some updates to city codes

1279
00:42:14,682 --> 00:42:15,450
to improve energy efficiency.

1280
00:42:15,450 --> 00:42:18,953
But making sure we do so in

1281
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:19,620
ways that are cost effective

1282
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:20,354
and also for the city itself

1283
00:42:20,354 --> 00:42:23,954
when it comes to our buildings,

1284
00:42:24,926 --> 00:42:25,427
our operations.

1285
00:42:25,427 --> 00:42:26,295
>> Okay.

1286
00:42:26,295 --> 00:42:26,694
I'll wrap it up in just a

1287
00:42:26,694 --> 00:42:28,694
moment here.

1288
00:42:30,732 --> 00:42:31,366
I also have examples of city

1289
00:42:31,366 --> 00:42:32,660
using innovative financing

1290
00:42:32,660 --> 00:42:32,633
tools related to managing our

1291
00:42:32,633 --> 00:42:35,633
energy use in our city

1292
00:42:36,204 --> 00:42:36,904
properties.

1293
00:42:36,904 --> 00:42:37,505
And then on the final slide

1294
00:42:37,505 --> 00:42:40,505
here as we look forward,

1295
00:42:41,175 --> 00:42:41,843
the city will continue to

1296
00:42:41,843 --> 00:42:42,143
implement the Climate Action

1297
00:42:42,143 --> 00:42:42,844
plan.

1298
00:42:42,844 --> 00:42:43,478
And as I mentioned this spring

1299
00:42:43,478 --> 00:42:46,147
we'll have our next annual

1300
00:42:46,147 --> 00:42:46,747
progress report released on

1301
00:42:46,747 --> 00:42:47,448
the Climate Action Plan.

1302
00:42:47,448 --> 00:42:50,448
In addition, with the support

1303
00:42:51,386 --> 00:42:52,870
of grant funding we've received

1304
00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:52,788
from the San Diego Association

1305
00:42:52,788 --> 00:42:53,488
of Governments will be getting

1306
00:42:53,488 --> 00:42:56,858
started on the next update of

1307
00:42:56,858 --> 00:42:57,191
the climate Action Plan this

1308
00:42:57,191 --> 00:42:59,191
spring.

1309
00:42:59,994 --> 00:43:00,762
We anticipate completing that

1310
00:43:00,762 --> 00:43:01,362
effort in 2027 which is aligned

1311
00:43:01,362 --> 00:43:04,362
with the five year mark

1312
00:43:05,233 --> 00:43:05,533
envisioned in the current plan

1313
00:43:05,533 --> 00:43:06,301
.

1314
00:43:06,301 --> 00:43:07,101
And as a final note, we're

1315
00:43:07,101 --> 00:43:10,238
we're viewing this update as an

1316
00:43:10,238 --> 00:43:10,839
opportunity to revisit

1317
00:43:10,839 --> 00:43:11,439
the city's approach and

1318
00:43:11,439 --> 00:43:12,106
the Climate Action Plan.

1319
00:43:12,106 --> 00:43:15,706
In light of this progress to

1320
00:43:15,777 --> 00:43:16,511
date in light of our current

1321
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:18,911
challenges and especially those

1322
00:43:20,715 --> 00:43:21,449
related to cost and funding,

1323
00:43:21,449 --> 00:43:22,184
this kind of strategic approach

1324
00:43:22,184 --> 00:43:22,818
to the update can help the city

1325
00:43:22,818 --> 00:43:25,218
continue to make progress

1326
00:43:26,121 --> 00:43:26,655
during these challenging times

1327
00:43:26,655 --> 00:43:27,322
we're currently in.

1328
00:43:27,322 --> 00:43:27,756
And that concludes the staff

1329
00:43:27,756 --> 00:43:29,756
presentation.

1330
00:43:30,792 --> 00:43:31,159
Thank you.

1331
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:31,860
All right.

1332
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:32,561
Thank you very much for

1333
00:43:32,561 --> 00:43:33,294
the work in the presentation.

1334
00:43:33,294 --> 00:43:36,431
I'll turn it over to the office

1335
00:43:36,431 --> 00:43:36,765
of the Independent journalist

1336
00:43:36,765 --> 00:43:37,433
Jordan.

1337
00:43:37,433 --> 00:43:37,966
Thank you, council PRESIDENT

1338
00:43:37,966 --> 00:43:39,966
And good afternoon.

1339
00:43:40,935 --> 00:43:41,503
My name is Gordon Moore with

1340
00:43:41,503 --> 00:43:42,270
the Office of the aba.

1341
00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:45,870
As you just heard staff from

1342
00:43:45,974 --> 00:43:46,708
city planning as well as almost

1343
00:43:46,708 --> 00:43:47,409
all other city departments have

1344
00:43:47,409 --> 00:43:49,809
been making important strides

1345
00:43:50,645 --> 00:43:51,246
in implementing the city's

1346
00:43:51,246 --> 00:43:51,846
Climate action Plan over

1347
00:43:51,846 --> 00:43:52,414
the last several years.

1348
00:43:52,414 --> 00:43:55,414
As noted in the staff

1349
00:43:56,685 --> 00:43:57,385
presentation, the majority of

1350
00:43:57,385 --> 00:43:58,530
actions are either complete or

1351
00:43:58,530 --> 00:44:01,530
underway and there have been

1352
00:44:01,923 --> 00:44:02,624
notable strides taken in just

1353
00:44:02,624 --> 00:44:03,358
the last couple of years such

1354
00:44:03,358 --> 00:44:06,358
as improvements to the building

1355
00:44:06,828 --> 00:44:07,529
code, the installation of

1356
00:44:07,529 --> 00:44:08,163
publicly available ev chargers

1357
00:44:08,163 --> 00:44:10,563
and various projects that

1358
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,200
decarbonize city facilities

1359
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:12,901
with no upfront cost.

1360
00:44:12,901 --> 00:44:15,301
Additionally, staff have also

1361
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:17,639
implemented the cap dashboard

1362
00:44:17,639 --> 00:44:18,373
which offers real time

1363
00:44:18,373 --> 00:44:19,700
monitoring capabilities for cap

1364
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:21,700
actions and implementation

1365
00:44:22,610 --> 00:44:23,311
beyond annual updates.

1366
00:44:23,311 --> 00:44:23,979
The fact that these actions

1367
00:44:23,979 --> 00:44:27,579
have been done in the city's

1368
00:44:33,550 --> 00:44:34,269
current budget environment is a

1369
00:44:34,269 --> 00:44:34,443
testament to the hard work city

1370
00:44:34,443 --> 00:44:34,700
staff has undertaken to

1371
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:34,893
implement the cap this far.

1372
00:44:34,893 --> 00:44:35,810
However, as noted in the last

1373
00:44:35,810 --> 00:44:37,793
cap annual update emissions did

1374
00:44:37,793 --> 00:44:38,393
increase in 2023 which is

1375
00:44:38,393 --> 00:44:39,610
the last year for which

1376
00:44:39,610 --> 00:44:42,610
the city has fully available

1377
00:44:42,831 --> 00:44:43,531
information.

1378
00:44:43,531 --> 00:44:44,232
Some context surrounding this

1379
00:44:44,232 --> 00:44:46,632
increase should be recognized

1380
00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:49,104
starting with that the most

1381
00:44:49,104 --> 00:44:49,804
consequential act actions

1382
00:44:49,804 --> 00:44:52,804
mentioned by staff took effect

1383
00:44:53,442 --> 00:44:54,176
after 2023 and as such the city

1384
00:44:54,176 --> 00:44:57,176
should see emissions decline in

1385
00:44:58,380 --> 00:44:59,810
subsequent years particularly

1386
00:44:59,810 --> 00:44:59,714
starting when we get annual

1387
00:44:59,714 --> 00:45:00,480
updates covering 2026 and

1388
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,480
beyond.

1389
00:45:03,652 --> 00:45:04,319
>> However, there is this gap

1390
00:45:04,319 --> 00:45:05,200
between what indicators are

1391
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,423
reported and when we are at

1392
00:45:08,423 --> 00:45:09,240
the present day and it does

1393
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:09,724
highlight an issue with

1394
00:45:09,724 --> 00:45:11,724
monitoring capital limitation

1395
00:45:13,195 --> 00:45:13,929
since only being able to judge

1396
00:45:13,929 --> 00:45:14,629
cap effectiveness at almost two

1397
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:18,100
full years in arrears does not

1398
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:18,433
allow for timely oversight over

1399
00:45:18,433 --> 00:45:19,201
the cap.

1400
00:45:19,201 --> 00:45:22,801
In the next update our office

1401
00:45:23,338 --> 00:45:24,730
recommends that staff work on

1402
00:45:24,730 --> 00:45:24,706
shortening the reporting window

1403
00:45:24,706 --> 00:45:27,943
to provide data in a more

1404
00:45:27,943 --> 00:45:28,644
timely fashion or develop

1405
00:45:28,644 --> 00:45:29,378
additional indicators that can

1406
00:45:29,378 --> 00:45:30,450
more effectively demonstrate in

1407
00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:33,450
real time whether the city's

1408
00:45:33,315 --> 00:45:33,949
actions are having

1409
00:45:33,949 --> 00:45:34,650
the greenhouse gas impact

1410
00:45:34,650 --> 00:45:37,500
emission emission impacts that

1411
00:45:38,587 --> 00:45:39,288
are desired more timely

1412
00:45:39,288 --> 00:45:39,855
indicators than the ability to

1413
00:45:39,855 --> 00:45:42,255
see them more quickly.

1414
00:45:42,891 --> 00:45:43,625
It could also allow better

1415
00:45:43,625 --> 00:45:44,326
decisions on how to prioritize

1416
00:45:44,326 --> 00:45:47,296
future cap actions and further

1417
00:45:47,296 --> 00:45:47,996
allow the city to see where

1418
00:45:47,996 --> 00:45:48,664
emissions are coming from and

1419
00:45:48,664 --> 00:45:51,664
if they are truly are

1420
00:45:52,634 --> 00:45:53,302
the city's responsibility.

1421
00:45:53,302 --> 00:45:53,936
For example, when looking at

1422
00:45:53,936 --> 00:45:56,936
the latest update the main

1423
00:45:58,730 --> 00:45:58,741
sources of increased emissions

1424
00:45:58,741 --> 00:45:59,475
were less renewable energy,

1425
00:45:59,475 --> 00:45:59,808
more natural gas usage and more

1426
00:45:59,808 --> 00:46:01,808
driving.

1427
00:46:03,245 --> 00:46:03,946
However these increased sources

1428
00:46:03,946 --> 00:46:04,580
were not equal in their impact

1429
00:46:04,580 --> 00:46:06,980
on emissions as increased

1430
00:46:08,283 --> 00:46:09,180
emissions from electricity due

1431
00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:09,718
to lower renewable content made

1432
00:46:09,718 --> 00:46:13,455
up more than half of the total

1433
00:46:13,455 --> 00:46:13,822
emissions increase between 2022

1434
00:46:13,822 --> 00:46:14,523
and 2023.

1435
00:46:14,523 --> 00:46:17,523
The amount of renewable energy

1436
00:46:18,327 --> 00:46:18,994
in the electricity supply is a

1437
00:46:18,994 --> 00:46:19,628
decision made by either San

1438
00:46:19,628 --> 00:46:22,628
Diego Gas and Electric or

1439
00:46:22,998 --> 00:46:23,465
increasingly by San Diego

1440
00:46:23,465 --> 00:46:24,200
community power.

1441
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:24,867
And it's important to note that

1442
00:46:24,867 --> 00:46:27,867
while the city has influence

1443
00:46:28,170 --> 00:46:28,771
over the actions of cp it does

1444
00:46:28,771 --> 00:46:31,171
not control as dcp.

1445
00:46:33,275 --> 00:46:34,100
This is an example where even

1446
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:34,710
if the city takes all emissions

1447
00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:37,110
reductions actions within its

1448
00:46:37,980 --> 00:46:38,647
direct control, if dcp does not

1449
00:46:38,647 --> 00:46:41,470
increase its renewable power

1450
00:46:42,251 --> 00:46:42,985
base emissions could go up

1451
00:46:42,985 --> 00:46:43,552
despite the city's best efforts

1452
00:46:43,552 --> 00:46:45,952
to implement the cap.

1453
00:46:47,122 --> 00:46:47,857
Our office therefore also

1454
00:46:47,857 --> 00:46:51,457
recommends that in the next cap

1455
00:46:51,661 --> 00:46:52,328
update city staff work on more

1456
00:46:52,328 --> 00:46:52,995
accurately attributing which

1457
00:46:52,995 --> 00:46:53,596
actions are leading to which

1458
00:46:53,596 --> 00:46:55,596
emissions reductions by

1459
00:46:56,398 --> 00:46:57,133
providing more context on what

1460
00:46:57,133 --> 00:47:00,733
the city can and cannot control

1461
00:47:01,137 --> 00:47:01,804
in the next cap Update.

1462
00:47:01,804 --> 00:47:02,338
That concludes my comments.

1463
00:47:02,338 --> 00:47:02,705
Thank you very much.

1464
00:47:02,705 --> 00:47:03,372
All right.

1465
00:47:03,372 --> 00:47:06,372
Thank you, Jordan With that

1466
00:47:06,542 --> 00:47:07,900
clerk please proceed with

1467
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:07,376
public comment.

1468
00:47:07,376 --> 00:47:08,430
Thank you.

1469
00:47:08,430 --> 00:47:08,644
Council PRESIDENT We have no

1470
00:47:08,644 --> 00:47:11,440
speakers here in council

1471
00:47:11,547 --> 00:47:12,214
chambers for item 200 going to

1472
00:47:12,214 --> 00:47:14,214
those participating online.

1473
00:47:16,852 --> 00:47:17,286
We currently have six speakers

1474
00:47:17,286 --> 00:47:19,286
in the queue.

1475
00:47:20,923 --> 00:47:21,557
I've started the five minute

1476
00:47:21,557 --> 00:47:22,191
timer starting with Laurie

1477
00:47:22,191 --> 00:47:22,825
Saldana if you can please

1478
00:47:22,825 --> 00:47:25,270
unmute After that will be

1479
00:47:25,270 --> 00:47:25,528
Kathleen Lippert.

1480
00:47:25,528 --> 00:47:25,995
>> Thank you.

1481
00:47:25,995 --> 00:47:26,629
Good afternoon.

1482
00:47:26,629 --> 00:47:29,629
My name is Laurie Saldana.

1483
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:31,300
I was coauthor of ab 32 over 20

1484
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:33,300
years ago.

1485
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:34,737
Actually it was 20 years ago

1486
00:47:34,737 --> 00:47:35,504
when we created the Greenhouse

1487
00:47:35,504 --> 00:47:38,574
Gas Reduction Act that led to

1488
00:47:38,574 --> 00:47:39,142
this and other climate plans

1489
00:47:39,142 --> 00:47:39,842
climate action plans.

1490
00:47:39,842 --> 00:47:42,845
I currently serve on the board

1491
00:47:42,845 --> 00:47:43,279
of a local nonprofit

1492
00:47:43,279 --> 00:47:44,130
organization.

1493
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:44,714
And I just want to remind

1494
00:47:44,714 --> 00:47:47,714
the Council that San Diego

1495
00:47:47,816 --> 00:47:48,517
ratepayers are charged

1496
00:47:48,517 --> 00:47:49,850
the highest electrical utility

1497
00:47:49,850 --> 00:47:51,485
rates in the country.

1498
00:47:52,221 --> 00:47:52,921
And we created over $600

1499
00:47:52,921 --> 00:47:56,521
million in profits for stg, an

1500
00:47:56,792 --> 00:47:57,493
investor owned utility and

1501
00:47:57,493 --> 00:47:58,127
subsidiary of Sempra that also

1502
00:47:58,127 --> 00:48:00,527
profits from natural gas.

1503
00:48:02,310 --> 00:48:02,564
Why does this matter to our

1504
00:48:02,564 --> 00:48:03,199
climate action plan?

1505
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:05,599
Because last year our

1506
00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:07,703
foundation won a unanimous

1507
00:48:07,703 --> 00:48:08,137
decision at the California

1508
00:48:08,137 --> 00:48:08,838
Supreme Court.

1509
00:48:08,838 --> 00:48:11,838
They determined the latest net

1510
00:48:12,275 --> 00:48:12,975
energy metering regulations are

1511
00:48:12,975 --> 00:48:15,975
unfair to ratepayers not just

1512
00:48:16,746 --> 00:48:17,447
in San Diego but statewide who

1513
00:48:17,447 --> 00:48:17,914
installed solar on their homes

1514
00:48:17,914 --> 00:48:18,781
and businesses.

1515
00:48:18,781 --> 00:48:22,318
And when I look at what you are

1516
00:48:22,318 --> 00:48:22,952
proposing in this plan I see no

1517
00:48:22,952 --> 00:48:25,352
reported increase in local

1518
00:48:26,489 --> 00:48:27,189
electricity production via

1519
00:48:27,189 --> 00:48:27,824
solar panels on city buildings

1520
00:48:27,824 --> 00:48:30,824
that could offset some of

1521
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:32,695
the costs that residents pay

1522
00:48:32,695 --> 00:48:33,463
multiple times in the lobby.

1523
00:48:33,463 --> 00:48:36,463
They took those profits from

1524
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:37,167
ratepayers to lobby against our

1525
00:48:37,167 --> 00:48:37,767
interests.

1526
00:48:37,767 --> 00:48:38,501
And now we not only pay

1527
00:48:38,501 --> 00:48:41,501
the highest electrical rates at

1528
00:48:41,904 --> 00:48:42,572
our homes, we pay the parking

1529
00:48:42,572 --> 00:48:43,272
fees and other fees to help

1530
00:48:43,272 --> 00:48:46,475
the city of San Diego balance

1531
00:48:46,475 --> 00:48:47,143
their budget which includes

1532
00:48:47,143 --> 00:48:47,777
paying more and more for

1533
00:48:47,777 --> 00:48:50,777
utility costs in the city.

1534
00:48:51,214 --> 00:48:51,848
We pay retailers, grocers and

1535
00:48:51,848 --> 00:48:52,448
others who increase their

1536
00:48:52,448 --> 00:48:55,448
prices to pay for their

1537
00:48:56,118 --> 00:48:56,786
business utility bills that are

1538
00:48:56,786 --> 00:48:57,153
increasing because of unfair

1539
00:48:57,153 --> 00:48:59,153
policies.

1540
00:49:00,857 --> 00:49:01,591
So I'm asking you as part of

1541
00:49:01,591 --> 00:49:05,191
this plan where is the increase

1542
00:49:05,995 --> 00:49:06,663
in solar power on government

1543
00:49:06,663 --> 00:49:09,663
city rooftops in our parks?

1544
00:49:10,633 --> 00:49:11,367
You're charging more cars and

1545
00:49:11,367 --> 00:49:11,868
yet you're not doing more local

1546
00:49:11,868 --> 00:49:13,868
energy generation.

1547
00:49:15,872 --> 00:49:16,572
Where is the goal for that?

1548
00:49:16,572 --> 00:49:17,206
I read through the report I

1549
00:49:17,206 --> 00:49:19,606
glanced over quickly this

1550
00:49:20,143 --> 00:49:20,877
morning I see a lot of

1551
00:49:20,877 --> 00:49:21,578
admirable goals but I don't see

1552
00:49:21,578 --> 00:49:23,978
you actually installing solar

1553
00:49:25,315 --> 00:49:25,882
panels on existing buildings

1554
00:49:25,882 --> 00:49:26,249
retrofitting standing

1555
00:49:26,249 --> 00:49:28,249
buildings.

1556
00:49:30,653 --> 00:49:31,354
Please do that.

1557
00:49:31,354 --> 00:49:31,688
Thank you for that concluding

1558
00:49:31,688 --> 00:49:32,355
comment.

1559
00:49:32,355 --> 00:49:32,789
Kathleen Lippert if you can

1560
00:49:32,789 --> 00:49:33,490
please unmute.

1561
00:49:33,490 --> 00:49:37,900
After that will be John Stump.

1562
00:49:38,127 --> 00:49:38,895
>> Kathleen?

1563
00:49:38,895 --> 00:49:39,762
Kathleen, I can't I mean for

1564
00:49:39,762 --> 00:49:41,765
you you should have a pop up

1565
00:49:41,765 --> 00:49:42,432
come up.

1566
00:49:42,432 --> 00:49:44,432
>> There you go.

1567
00:49:47,337 --> 00:49:47,737
The prize winning effort and

1568
00:49:47,737 --> 00:49:48,370
the author.

1569
00:49:48,370 --> 00:49:48,338
Good.

1570
00:49:48,338 --> 00:49:50,338
Sorry.

1571
00:49:50,674 --> 00:49:51,274
Could you come back to me in

1572
00:49:51,274 --> 00:49:52,208
just a moment, please?

1573
00:49:52,208 --> 00:49:55,808
>> I'm sorry I'm not able to

1574
00:49:57,130 --> 00:49:57,681
return to the speakers if

1575
00:49:57,681 --> 00:50:00,681
you're unable to speak now.

1576
00:50:00,917 --> 00:50:01,384
Not with the format.

1577
00:50:01,384 --> 00:50:03,384
Skip your turn.

1578
00:50:05,522 --> 00:50:05,822
We cannot return anywhere.

1579
00:50:05,822 --> 00:50:06,389
Okay.

1580
00:50:06,389 --> 00:50:07,256
Can you hear me?

1581
00:50:07,256 --> 00:50:10,760
Yes, we can hear the crowd

1582
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:11,662
noise.

1583
00:50:11,662 --> 00:50:15,262
>> There is a lot of background

1584
00:50:16,433 --> 00:50:17,000
noise in the lot.

1585
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:17,300
It seems to the.

1586
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:19,300
Okay.

1587
00:50:19,736 --> 00:50:20,360
Can you still hear me?

1588
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:20,503
Yes.

1589
00:50:20,503 --> 00:50:22,503
Please continue.

1590
00:50:24,741 --> 00:50:25,342
No, Take.

1591
00:50:25,342 --> 00:50:25,809
We can hear you.

1592
00:50:25,809 --> 00:50:27,809
Please proceed.

1593
00:50:34,284 --> 00:50:34,685
It.

1594
00:50:34,685 --> 00:50:35,385
All right.

1595
00:50:35,385 --> 00:50:35,785
Moving on to the next speaker,

1596
00:50:35,785 --> 00:50:37,785
John Stump.

1597
00:50:38,455 --> 00:50:41,455
If you can please unmute.

1598
00:50:43,260 --> 00:50:43,727
>> Hi, Good afternoon.

1599
00:50:43,727 --> 00:50:44,594
Climate action.

1600
00:50:44,594 --> 00:50:48,194
Do we really believe that there

1601
00:50:48,665 --> 00:50:49,132
is a threat and change in

1602
00:50:49,132 --> 00:50:51,132
climate action?

1603
00:50:53,403 --> 00:50:55,803
The report says yes.

1604
00:50:57,441 --> 00:50:58,542
The presentation by staff's I b

1605
00:50:58,542 --> 00:51:02,142
a and the climate staff were

1606
00:51:02,780 --> 00:51:03,613
nice.

1607
00:51:03,613 --> 00:51:07,213
I ask first of all that

1608
00:51:07,217 --> 00:51:07,918
the climate staff stop using

1609
00:51:07,918 --> 00:51:09,918
visuals which portray

1610
00:51:11,788 --> 00:51:14,788
the largest creation of climate

1611
00:51:16,793 --> 00:51:17,461
action co2.

1612
00:51:17,461 --> 00:51:17,995
Downtown Is that where we're

1613
00:51:17,995 --> 00:51:19,995
trying to influence?

1614
00:51:21,331 --> 00:51:22,298
That's a that's a loser.

1615
00:51:22,298 --> 00:51:25,802
We want to and we want to show

1616
00:51:25,802 --> 00:51:26,537
city employees and what they're

1617
00:51:26,537 --> 00:51:29,537
doing to reduce climate impacts

1618
00:51:31,108 --> 00:51:34,108
and homes not the port

1619
00:51:35,746 --> 00:51:36,513
The downtown commuter area.

1620
00:51:36,513 --> 00:51:38,913
Now talking about city

1621
00:51:40,851 --> 00:51:42,851
departments, we need

1622
00:51:45,389 --> 00:51:46,190
specifically to reduce climate

1623
00:51:46,190 --> 00:51:49,190
impacts at the city's airports.

1624
00:51:50,394 --> 00:51:51,280
And the big item today at

1625
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,280
maintenance of zoological

1626
00:51:55,532 --> 00:51:57,932
exhibits where the zoological

1627
00:52:04,107 --> 00:52:04,808
exhibits department is probably

1628
00:52:04,808 --> 00:52:07,808
the third largest producer of

1629
00:52:09,146 --> 00:52:09,513
climate change impacts that in

1630
00:52:09,513 --> 00:52:11,513
the city.

1631
00:52:13,417 --> 00:52:17,170
The 5 million people a year who

1632
00:52:17,821 --> 00:52:18,889
fly in or drive in by tourism

1633
00:52:18,889 --> 00:52:22,960
is a huge impact and should be

1634
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,940
included.

1635
00:52:24,940 --> 00:52:27,694
>> So and then finally I agree

1636
00:52:27,965 --> 00:52:28,599
with MS..

1637
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:30,599
Saldana Council You're

1638
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:33,971
responsible for the fact that

1639
00:52:33,971 --> 00:52:37,841
sd g and e is creating so much

1640
00:52:37,841 --> 00:52:38,576
climate impacts.

1641
00:52:38,576 --> 00:52:38,943
>> You've got to change that

1642
00:52:38,943 --> 00:52:39,476
franchise.

1643
00:52:39,476 --> 00:52:39,843
Thank you very much.

1644
00:52:39,843 --> 00:52:41,843
Thank you.

1645
00:52:42,313 --> 00:52:42,913
The five minute timer has

1646
00:52:42,913 --> 00:52:43,480
concluded there are six

1647
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:44,181
speakers in the queue.

1648
00:52:44,181 --> 00:52:45,490
No additional speakers will be

1649
00:52:45,490 --> 00:52:48,649
taken live here if you can

1650
00:52:49,653 --> 00:52:51,653
please on mute.

1651
00:52:54,458 --> 00:52:54,992
Good afternoon PRESIDENT LaCava

1652
00:52:54,992 --> 00:52:55,594
and council members.

1653
00:52:55,594 --> 00:52:58,594
My name is Livia Bowden.

1654
00:52:59,296 --> 00:53:00,300
I'm an attorney at Comstock

1655
00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:00,764
Group and I represent Coastal

1656
00:53:00,764 --> 00:53:02,764
Environmental Rights Foundation

1657
00:53:03,801 --> 00:53:04,535
or serve one of the litigants

1658
00:53:04,535 --> 00:53:04,935
involved in the cap lawsuit and

1659
00:53:04,935 --> 00:53:05,503
settlement.

1660
00:53:05,503 --> 00:53:08,439
First I'd like to echo

1661
00:53:08,439 --> 00:53:09,173
the eib's comments regarding

1662
00:53:09,173 --> 00:53:09,640
transparency and granularity in

1663
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,640
future reports.

1664
00:53:13,477 --> 00:53:14,178
It's disheartening to see

1665
00:53:14,178 --> 00:53:14,878
the city failing to take this

1666
00:53:14,878 --> 00:53:17,782
as an opportunity to candidly

1667
00:53:17,782 --> 00:53:18,515
discuss the status of its

1668
00:53:18,515 --> 00:53:19,216
climate actions and challenges.

1669
00:53:19,216 --> 00:53:22,216
The trajectory to 2030 goal is

1670
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,540
steep but the 2035 goal is even

1671
00:53:24,540 --> 00:53:24,455
more ambitious and is only nine

1672
00:53:24,455 --> 00:53:26,455
years away.

1673
00:53:28,225 --> 00:53:28,960
The fact that the 2025 annual

1674
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,560
report came out late last year

1675
00:53:33,130 --> 00:53:33,664
and only included 2023 data is

1676
00:53:33,664 --> 00:53:35,664
also disappointing.

1677
00:53:37,668 --> 00:53:38,302
It doesn't meet the letter or

1678
00:53:38,302 --> 00:53:38,669
spirit of the settlement

1679
00:53:38,669 --> 00:53:39,370
agreement.

1680
00:53:39,370 --> 00:53:42,673
And I would argue there's more

1681
00:53:42,673 --> 00:53:43,341
recent available emissions data

1682
00:53:43,341 --> 00:53:44,800
especially since the county

1683
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,408
released its 2025 report in

1684
00:53:47,845 --> 00:53:48,579
JULY and included 2024 data.

1685
00:53:48,579 --> 00:53:51,579
By conveying that the vast

1686
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:52,683
majority of strategies are in

1687
00:53:52,683 --> 00:53:53,384
progress, the city fails to

1688
00:53:53,384 --> 00:53:56,384
detail exactly what that means

1689
00:53:56,687 --> 00:53:57,221
in terms of realistically

1690
00:53:57,221 --> 00:53:57,922
achieving its goals.

1691
00:53:57,922 --> 00:54:00,922
For example achieving de carve

1692
00:54:01,659 --> 00:54:02,326
of existing buildings and

1693
00:54:02,326 --> 00:54:02,994
mobility goals by 2030 seems

1694
00:54:02,994 --> 00:54:03,294
virtually impossible at this

1695
00:54:03,294 --> 00:54:05,294
point.

1696
00:54:07,465 --> 00:54:08,166
The reliance on the cap is not

1697
00:54:08,166 --> 00:54:08,532
that is not likely to be

1698
00:54:08,532 --> 00:54:10,532
achieved.

1699
00:54:11,350 --> 00:54:11,803
To push through sequel projects

1700
00:54:11,803 --> 00:54:12,470
means the city misses out on

1701
00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:13,700
project level greenhouse gas

1702
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:15,700
mitigation measures and

1703
00:54:16,107 --> 00:54:16,841
approves projects and plans

1704
00:54:16,841 --> 00:54:19,841
like the community plan updates

1705
00:54:20,678 --> 00:54:21,279
without including additional

1706
00:54:21,279 --> 00:54:21,646
greenhouse gas reduction

1707
00:54:21,646 --> 00:54:22,280
measures.

1708
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,680
Failing to acknowledge our

1709
00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:26,851
shortcomings will be mean will

1710
00:54:26,851 --> 00:54:27,485
be that much farther behind

1711
00:54:27,485 --> 00:54:28,520
when we attempt to correct

1712
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,452
course and the Trump

1713
00:54:31,255 --> 00:54:31,756
administration wasn't in office

1714
00:54:31,756 --> 00:54:32,423
in 2023 or 2024.

1715
00:54:32,423 --> 00:54:34,823
We cannot just blame

1716
00:54:36,127 --> 00:54:36,961
the federal government.

1717
00:54:36,961 --> 00:54:37,662
I urge the city to be more

1718
00:54:37,662 --> 00:54:38,262
transparent about what's been

1719
00:54:38,262 --> 00:54:40,662
accomplished to use all

1720
00:54:41,199 --> 00:54:41,899
available greenhouse gas

1721
00:54:41,899 --> 00:54:42,500
emissions data and to stick to

1722
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:42,867
the settlement agreement

1723
00:54:42,867 --> 00:54:44,867
deadlines.

1724
00:54:46,104 --> 00:54:46,604
Thank you.

1725
00:54:46,604 --> 00:54:47,205
Thank you.

1726
00:54:47,205 --> 00:54:49,605
Next is Blair Beekman.

1727
00:54:55,614 --> 00:54:56,113
If you can please unmute.

1728
00:54:56,113 --> 00:54:56,882
>> Thank you.

1729
00:54:56,882 --> 00:54:57,181
Beekman Thanks a lot for this

1730
00:54:57,181 --> 00:54:59,181
item.

1731
00:55:00,618 --> 00:55:01,319
It's important.

1732
00:55:01,319 --> 00:55:04,319
Laurie Sodano has offered some

1733
00:55:04,923 --> 00:55:05,623
really nice words this

1734
00:55:05,623 --> 00:55:08,623
afternoon and this morning you

1735
00:55:09,394 --> 00:55:10,940
had a very nice not a nice but

1736
00:55:10,940 --> 00:55:13,940
you had a relevant closed

1737
00:55:14,599 --> 00:55:15,266
session item on what's going on

1738
00:55:15,266 --> 00:55:15,533
at the airport issues right

1739
00:55:15,533 --> 00:55:17,533
now.

1740
00:55:19,471 --> 00:55:20,400
Is that not sea level rise

1741
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,400
issues taking place?

1742
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:24,442
Laurie Saldanha very nicely

1743
00:55:24,442 --> 00:55:25,110
talked about.

1744
00:55:25,110 --> 00:55:25,877
We need to refer to the San

1745
00:55:25,877 --> 00:55:28,877
Francisco Bay area and how

1746
00:55:28,913 --> 00:55:29,380
they're working on their

1747
00:55:29,380 --> 00:55:31,380
serious issues.

1748
00:55:34,419 --> 00:55:35,860
I see in this report not a lot

1749
00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:37,923
of mention of sea level rise

1750
00:55:37,923 --> 00:55:38,623
things sea level rise things

1751
00:55:38,623 --> 00:55:41,623
And I'm wondering what part

1752
00:55:42,794 --> 00:55:43,495
does that place in these

1753
00:55:43,495 --> 00:55:46,495
climate issues and our coastal

1754
00:55:46,965 --> 00:55:47,665
concerns that I think there's a

1755
00:55:47,665 --> 00:55:48,333
there's a very strong hefty

1756
00:55:48,333 --> 00:55:51,933
group of people who have a

1757
00:55:52,370 --> 00:55:52,737
certain way to view coastal

1758
00:55:52,737 --> 00:55:55,137
planning and construction and

1759
00:55:56,875 --> 00:55:57,542
you know, maintenance that it's

1760
00:55:57,542 --> 00:55:58,143
not fully jiving with city

1761
00:55:58,143 --> 00:56:00,543
government at this time.

1762
00:56:02,113 --> 00:56:02,781
I hope you guys can learn to

1763
00:56:02,781 --> 00:56:06,184
get together And I think we

1764
00:56:06,184 --> 00:56:06,918
have to really honestly, truly

1765
00:56:06,918 --> 00:56:07,652
acknowledge there are sea level

1766
00:56:07,652 --> 00:56:10,652
rise issues to be concerned

1767
00:56:11,523 --> 00:56:12,290
about.

1768
00:56:12,290 --> 00:56:13,158
It's then how to proceed with

1769
00:56:13,158 --> 00:56:16,758
that concept and how to provide

1770
00:56:17,429 --> 00:56:18,163
maintenance and fixes And

1771
00:56:18,163 --> 00:56:21,163
that's the question That should

1772
00:56:22,267 --> 00:56:22,667
be the argument and not a sea

1773
00:56:22,667 --> 00:56:23,435
level rise.

1774
00:56:23,435 --> 00:56:24,169
I think there's been so many

1775
00:56:24,169 --> 00:56:27,169
glaciers that have been melting

1776
00:56:27,339 --> 00:56:28,600
all around the world It's it

1777
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,600
seems undeniable to not say

1778
00:56:31,510 --> 00:56:31,877
there's sea level rise

1779
00:56:31,877 --> 00:56:32,677
concerns.

1780
00:56:32,677 --> 00:56:36,877
It's what to do out of that

1781
00:56:36,915 --> 00:56:37,349
process working together out of

1782
00:56:37,349 --> 00:56:38,170
that process.

1783
00:56:38,170 --> 00:56:41,386
Good luck how we do that.

1784
00:56:41,386 --> 00:56:42,120
Lori Saldana again, she offered

1785
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:42,854
very interesting comments about

1786
00:56:42,854 --> 00:56:45,854
the Midway Housing Project area

1787
00:56:46,658 --> 00:56:47,325
that has sea level rise

1788
00:56:47,325 --> 00:56:50,325
concerns about it and you're

1789
00:56:51,129 --> 00:56:51,863
not at all talking about that

1790
00:56:51,863 --> 00:56:54,863
your future, your current court

1791
00:56:55,867 --> 00:56:56,568
things are about subject matter

1792
00:56:56,568 --> 00:56:57,302
that MAY pertain to sea level

1793
00:56:57,302 --> 00:56:57,936
rise that you please talk about

1794
00:56:57,936 --> 00:57:00,506
those If your time has

1795
00:57:00,506 --> 00:57:01,239
concluded.

1796
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,239
Next is 8700 and then Jay

1797
00:57:04,676 --> 00:57:05,100
Powell and then 749 is our last

1798
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,100
speaker.

1799
00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:16,510
It 700 please unmute star six.

1800
00:57:18,523 --> 00:57:18,827
>> Thank you so much Joyce that

1801
00:57:18,827 --> 00:57:20,827
53.

1802
00:57:22,861 --> 00:57:23,562
First of all Lori Saldana,

1803
00:57:23,562 --> 00:57:24,262
thank you for all your work

1804
00:57:24,262 --> 00:57:27,262
especially for your work on

1805
00:57:27,566 --> 00:57:27,866
this item.

1806
00:57:27,866 --> 00:57:28,400
Okay.

1807
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,400
Climate Action plan.

1808
00:57:32,271 --> 00:57:33,138
I'm not too up on all of this

1809
00:57:33,138 --> 00:57:37,338
but I'm going to jump in from

1810
00:57:37,408 --> 00:57:37,876
the staff report.

1811
00:57:37,876 --> 00:57:38,243
Thank you.

1812
00:57:38,243 --> 00:57:40,243
Thank you.

1813
00:57:41,380 --> 00:57:42,800
While important find funding

1814
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,480
foundational actions have been

1815
00:57:45,951 --> 00:57:46,218
completed refer to strategies

1816
00:57:46,218 --> 00:57:47,190
123.

1817
00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:50,190
Thank you and significant work

1818
00:57:50,522 --> 00:57:51,190
continues.

1819
00:57:51,190 --> 00:57:54,190
Sweeping changes not just by

1820
00:57:55,427 --> 00:57:56,620
the city but at all levels of

1821
00:57:56,620 --> 00:57:58,620
government and throughout

1822
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,670
the economy and society.

1823
00:58:02,670 --> 00:58:05,471
To me that word society is

1824
00:58:05,471 --> 00:58:06,138
important are still needed to

1825
00:58:06,138 --> 00:58:09,138
meet the ambitious goals of

1826
00:58:09,775 --> 00:58:10,642
the Climate Action Plan Now

1827
00:58:10,642 --> 00:58:14,842
this is for me the key word

1828
00:58:15,481 --> 00:58:16,315
here is society.

1829
00:58:16,315 --> 00:58:19,315
Here are eight I thought

1830
00:58:20,190 --> 00:58:22,190
systemic economic and

1831
00:58:24,623 --> 00:58:25,324
psychological barriers.

1832
00:58:25,324 --> 00:58:25,691
Here's my white elephant in

1833
00:58:25,691 --> 00:58:27,691
the room.

1834
00:58:29,562 --> 00:58:32,562
Is this an evolutionary change

1835
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:34,800
fueled by human society?

1836
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,200
This is very important.

1837
00:58:39,772 --> 00:58:40,406
I'm appreciating everybody who

1838
00:58:40,406 --> 00:58:42,806
is so intensely passionate

1839
00:58:44,210 --> 00:58:44,810
about this and really knows

1840
00:58:44,810 --> 00:58:45,311
what's happening on it.

1841
00:58:45,311 --> 00:58:47,711
Just keep at it.

1842
00:58:49,615 --> 00:58:50,249
We don't know where we're

1843
00:58:50,249 --> 00:58:50,816
headed on the big picture.

1844
00:58:50,816 --> 00:58:52,816
You know, practically

1845
00:58:54,587 --> 00:58:55,321
the universe.

1846
00:58:55,321 --> 00:58:55,754
But we have to keep trying.

1847
00:58:55,754 --> 00:58:56,322
So thank you.

1848
00:58:56,322 --> 00:58:58,722
This is tough work.

1849
00:58:59,258 --> 00:58:59,625
Thank you to plenty of others

1850
00:58:59,625 --> 00:59:00,226
involved.

1851
00:59:00,226 --> 00:59:02,626
Thank you for listening.

1852
00:59:04,564 --> 00:59:04,830
We are doing our best Love to

1853
00:59:04,830 --> 00:59:05,264
all.

1854
00:59:05,264 --> 00:59:07,264
Thank you.

1855
00:59:07,733 --> 00:59:10,733
7499 if you can please unmute

1856
00:59:12,171 --> 00:59:14,171
and then Powell.

1857
00:59:16,876 --> 00:59:17,610
>> Bob Kozinski here We need to

1858
00:59:17,610 --> 00:59:20,610
be careful about the visibility

1859
00:59:21,790 --> 00:59:21,647
that we give to the so called

1860
00:59:21,647 --> 00:59:22,448
climate change issues.

1861
00:59:22,448 --> 00:59:25,448
It's important to remember that

1862
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:27,787
all of our youth and all of

1863
00:59:27,787 --> 00:59:31,387
the new age models are watching

1864
00:59:31,624 --> 00:59:32,391
and learning from everything we

1865
00:59:32,391 --> 00:59:35,391
say or write about nearly

1866
00:59:36,462 --> 00:59:37,130
everything.

1867
00:59:37,130 --> 00:59:40,130
The ongoing panic that we

1868
00:59:41,167 --> 00:59:41,834
continually exhibit about

1869
00:59:41,834 --> 00:59:44,834
climate change will soon be

1870
00:59:45,638 --> 00:59:46,372
training our ai models and our

1871
00:59:46,372 --> 00:59:46,906
youth that the human race needs

1872
00:59:46,906 --> 00:59:48,906
to be exterminated.

1873
00:59:50,877 --> 00:59:51,477
Please think about

1874
00:59:51,477 --> 00:59:51,911
the consequences of your

1875
00:59:51,911 --> 00:59:53,911
ongoing panic.

1876
00:59:55,181 --> 00:59:56,490
Thank you.

1877
00:59:56,490 --> 00:59:56,382
>> And our final speaker is Jay

1878
00:59:56,382 --> 00:59:58,382
Powell.

1879
00:59:59,852 --> 01:00:02,852
If you can please unmute.

1880
01:00:04,657 --> 01:00:05,291
Good afternoon.

1881
01:00:05,291 --> 01:00:07,691
Jay Powell Normal Heights,

1882
01:00:09,862 --> 01:00:10,529
California and I want to just

1883
01:00:10,529 --> 01:00:12,929
add my appreciation to

1884
01:00:15,201 --> 01:00:15,568
the presentation, the idea and

1885
01:00:15,568 --> 01:00:17,568
comments.

1886
01:00:20,207 --> 01:00:20,807
Laura Saldana and also note

1887
01:00:20,807 --> 01:00:21,507
that one of the comments

1888
01:00:21,507 --> 01:00:23,907
regarding San Diego community

1889
01:00:25,111 --> 01:00:25,678
power the city doesn't control

1890
01:00:25,678 --> 01:00:28,678
it but has a powerful

1891
01:00:29,749 --> 01:00:30,616
representative there and that

1892
01:00:30,616 --> 01:00:34,487
can do a lot more in terms of

1893
01:00:34,487 --> 01:00:35,187
creating local renewable power.

1894
01:00:35,187 --> 01:00:37,587
Community based microgrids is

1895
01:00:39,125 --> 01:00:39,792
one of the things that we can

1896
01:00:39,792 --> 01:00:42,792
put on city buildings, city

1897
01:00:43,796 --> 01:00:44,197
facilities and city leases such

1898
01:00:44,197 --> 01:00:44,997
as the zoo.

1899
01:00:44,997 --> 01:00:47,997
So I would encourage that.

1900
01:00:49,268 --> 01:00:50,136
And my other question is was

1901
01:00:50,136 --> 01:00:53,736
this issue or a report rather

1902
01:00:54,407 --> 01:00:54,907
reviewed by the Climate

1903
01:00:54,907 --> 01:00:55,608
Advisory Board and

1904
01:00:55,608 --> 01:00:58,800
the Resiliency Advisory boards

1905
01:00:58,911 --> 01:00:59,579
And did they submit any

1906
01:00:59,579 --> 01:01:01,579
particular recommendations?

1907
01:01:03,383 --> 01:01:03,883
I think that's important to

1908
01:01:03,883 --> 01:01:04,417
take into account.

1909
01:01:04,417 --> 01:01:06,817
Thank you very much.

1910
01:01:08,588 --> 01:01:09,289
Thank you.

1911
01:01:09,289 --> 01:01:09,923
>> That does conclude

1912
01:01:09,923 --> 01:01:10,223
the public comment on this

1913
01:01:10,223 --> 01:01:10,924
item.

1914
01:01:10,924 --> 01:01:13,726
We did receive one comment in

1915
01:01:13,726 --> 01:01:14,427
favor via our e comment form

1916
01:01:14,427 --> 01:01:14,828
which has been distributed to

1917
01:01:14,828 --> 01:01:15,194
the Council.

1918
01:01:15,194 --> 01:01:15,695
Thank you.

1919
01:01:15,695 --> 01:01:16,620
Council PRESIDENT.

1920
01:01:16,620 --> 01:01:18,620
All right.

1921
01:01:18,498 --> 01:01:19,165
Thank you, City Clerk We'll

1922
01:01:19,165 --> 01:01:19,499
turn it over to the council

1923
01:01:19,499 --> 01:01:21,499
members.

1924
01:01:22,702 --> 01:01:23,436
This is an information item.

1925
01:01:23,436 --> 01:01:24,370
No motion is required and we'll

1926
01:01:24,370 --> 01:01:27,370
start with the chair of

1927
01:01:28,410 --> 01:01:28,708
the Environment Committee,

1928
01:01:28,708 --> 01:01:29,750
council member Ella Rivera.

1929
01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:29,442
All right.

1930
01:01:29,442 --> 01:01:29,943
Thank you.

1931
01:01:29,943 --> 01:01:31,943
Council PRESIDENT.

1932
01:01:32,112 --> 01:01:32,745
I thank you for

1933
01:01:32,745 --> 01:01:33,446
the presentation here And

1934
01:01:33,446 --> 01:01:36,816
the briefing ahead of time is

1935
01:01:36,816 --> 01:01:37,484
these reports are super

1936
01:01:37,484 --> 01:01:38,118
important because they help

1937
01:01:38,118 --> 01:01:41,688
give us a clear picture of

1938
01:01:41,688 --> 01:01:41,988
progress and where we have work

1939
01:01:41,988 --> 01:01:42,689
to do.

1940
01:01:42,689 --> 01:01:45,658
I appreciate your joining your

1941
01:01:45,658 --> 01:01:46,526
work in pointing out how much

1942
01:01:46,526 --> 01:01:47,227
effort it takes to do what has

1943
01:01:47,227 --> 01:01:50,730
been done given the context of

1944
01:01:50,730 --> 01:01:51,498
that work has been done in It

1945
01:01:51,498 --> 01:01:55,980
also is really helpful to see

1946
01:01:55,568 --> 01:01:56,202
the breakdown of where

1947
01:01:56,202 --> 01:01:56,770
emissions are coming from.

1948
01:01:56,770 --> 01:01:59,770
As has been the case,

1949
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:00,940
transportation continues to be

1950
01:02:00,940 --> 01:02:01,607
the largest source followed by

1951
01:02:01,607 --> 01:02:04,607
natural gas use in buildings

1952
01:02:05,450 --> 01:02:05,745
and electricity and this just

1953
01:02:05,745 --> 01:02:06,346
reinforces how important it is

1954
01:02:06,346 --> 01:02:07,800
that our climate work is

1955
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,800
connected to how we're planning

1956
01:02:10,250 --> 01:02:10,717
housing, mobility and energy

1957
01:02:10,717 --> 01:02:12,717
across the city.

1958
01:02:14,621 --> 01:02:15,288
A couple of questions.

1959
01:02:15,288 --> 01:02:15,955
One, the report highlights

1960
01:02:15,955 --> 01:02:18,355
actions related to reducing

1961
01:02:19,659 --> 01:02:20,227
natural gas use in buildings

1962
01:02:20,227 --> 01:02:20,627
and electrifying city

1963
01:02:20,627 --> 01:02:22,627
facilities.

1964
01:02:24,130 --> 01:02:24,865
Can you talk to us about what

1965
01:02:24,865 --> 01:02:25,532
barriers financial, regulatory,

1966
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,932
technical or otherwise we're

1967
01:02:28,835 --> 01:02:29,436
encountering in scaling our

1968
01:02:29,436 --> 01:02:31,436
building electrification

1969
01:02:33,673 --> 01:02:34,174
citywide?

1970
01:02:34,174 --> 01:02:36,174
>> Sure.

1971
01:02:39,346 --> 01:02:40,180
Happy to do that.

1972
01:02:40,180 --> 01:02:40,881
Just to be clear, I'll speak to

1973
01:02:40,881 --> 01:02:43,281
citywide community wide facing

1974
01:02:43,350 --> 01:02:44,840
actions Is that what you're

1975
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:44,551
asking about as opposed to like

1976
01:02:44,551 --> 01:02:46,551
city operations?

1977
01:02:48,188 --> 01:02:48,488
Well, both.

1978
01:02:48,488 --> 01:02:48,788
Okay.

1979
01:02:48,788 --> 01:02:50,788
Yeah.

1980
01:02:52,259 --> 01:02:52,926
Okay.

1981
01:02:52,926 --> 01:02:53,627
From the perspective of

1982
01:02:53,627 --> 01:02:56,270
community wide and citywide

1983
01:02:57,764 --> 01:03:00,764
efforts in the Climate Action

1984
01:03:01,935 --> 01:03:02,568
Plan itself, it envisioned to

1985
01:03:02,568 --> 01:03:03,270
move towards all electric

1986
01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:03,937
buildings making code apps in

1987
01:03:03,937 --> 01:03:06,473
that direct code updates in

1988
01:03:06,473 --> 01:03:07,140
that direction shortly

1989
01:03:07,140 --> 01:03:09,540
following the Climate Action

1990
01:03:11,111 --> 01:03:11,878
Plan update.

1991
01:03:11,878 --> 01:03:14,278
There were court rulings

1992
01:03:16,984 --> 01:03:17,651
involving the it's known as

1993
01:03:17,651 --> 01:03:18,385
the Berkeley case involving

1994
01:03:18,385 --> 01:03:21,788
efforts in the city of Berkeley

1995
01:03:21,788 --> 01:03:22,723
to make similar efforts there.

1996
01:03:22,723 --> 01:03:23,523
And I guess to make a long

1997
01:03:23,523 --> 01:03:26,523
story short that that has

1998
01:03:27,260 --> 01:03:27,961
really, really complicated

1999
01:03:27,961 --> 01:03:30,961
local effort, local efforts to

2000
01:03:31,398 --> 01:03:32,320
move towards all electric

2001
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,320
buildings And the city has

2002
01:03:35,569 --> 01:03:36,710
tried to pivot its approach

2003
01:03:36,710 --> 01:03:36,837
since that time.

2004
01:03:36,837 --> 01:03:40,437
So that's been a big that's

2005
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:41,141
been a big roadblock not just

2006
01:03:41,141 --> 01:03:41,775
in San Diego but in other

2007
01:03:41,775 --> 01:03:42,409
places and trying to move

2008
01:03:42,409 --> 01:03:44,809
towards all electric new

2009
01:03:45,712 --> 01:03:46,547
construction.

2010
01:03:46,547 --> 01:03:47,281
And then I would say and we

2011
01:03:47,281 --> 01:03:50,717
tried to speak to this a little

2012
01:03:50,717 --> 01:03:51,351
bit in the presentation and but

2013
01:03:51,351 --> 01:03:54,351
when it comes to existing

2014
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,688
buildings, we're we have we did

2015
01:03:59,159 --> 01:03:59,893
include we have included in

2016
01:03:59,893 --> 01:04:00,527
some ongoing code updates, some

2017
01:04:00,527 --> 01:04:02,927
items related to improving

2018
01:04:04,598 --> 01:04:05,650
energy efficiency of existing

2019
01:04:05,650 --> 01:04:05,699
buildings there.

2020
01:04:05,699 --> 01:04:08,699
We're trying to be really

2021
01:04:09,336 --> 01:04:09,870
focused and sensitive to

2022
01:04:09,870 --> 01:04:10,537
the cost, especially

2023
01:04:10,537 --> 01:04:13,537
the upfront costs that come

2024
01:04:14,875 --> 01:04:15,476
along with using new energy

2025
01:04:15,476 --> 01:04:16,176
efficient and renewable

2026
01:04:16,176 --> 01:04:19,176
technologies much of the time.

2027
01:04:19,747 --> 01:04:20,381
And so and that that's where

2028
01:04:20,381 --> 01:04:20,981
our thoughts about really

2029
01:04:20,981 --> 01:04:23,981
looking at ways to seek

2030
01:04:24,451 --> 01:04:25,219
alternative sources of funding

2031
01:04:25,219 --> 01:04:25,986
and really making sure that as

2032
01:04:25,986 --> 01:04:29,690
we move in that direction we do

2033
01:04:29,690 --> 01:04:34,127
so in a way that is really is

2034
01:04:34,127 --> 01:04:34,795
not exacerbating cost of living

2035
01:04:34,795 --> 01:04:35,195
and other concerns for our

2036
01:04:35,195 --> 01:04:35,996
communities.

2037
01:04:35,996 --> 01:04:39,596
And then as far as city

2038
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:40,301
facilities I know we have

2039
01:04:40,301 --> 01:04:40,967
Heather with the Department of

2040
01:04:40,967 --> 01:04:41,669
General Services on the line

2041
01:04:41,669 --> 01:04:44,538
who can speak more to some of

2042
01:04:44,538 --> 01:04:45,139
the strategies that we've

2043
01:04:45,139 --> 01:04:45,873
implemented for the city

2044
01:04:45,873 --> 01:04:48,273
operations and buildings things

2045
01:04:48,842 --> 01:04:49,510
really I think more than

2046
01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:51,910
strategies deployed I think

2047
01:04:53,213 --> 01:04:53,881
barriers to deploying those

2048
01:04:53,881 --> 01:04:54,181
strategies would be helpful.

2049
01:04:54,181 --> 01:04:56,181
Yeah.

2050
01:04:58,319 --> 01:04:59,860
i can add on a little bit that

2051
01:04:59,860 --> 01:04:59,453
I mean there is a couple of

2052
01:04:59,453 --> 01:04:59,987
barriers.

2053
01:04:59,987 --> 01:05:00,688
It doesn't mean it's

2054
01:05:00,688 --> 01:05:02,823
impossible, it just means that

2055
01:05:02,823 --> 01:05:03,224
there's some additional

2056
01:05:03,224 --> 01:05:03,924
challenges.

2057
01:05:03,924 --> 01:05:06,924
The number one challenge being

2058
01:05:07,428 --> 01:05:07,995
related to cost efficiency and

2059
01:05:07,995 --> 01:05:09,995
financial feasibility.

2060
01:05:12,233 --> 01:05:12,833
So while we do have the ability

2061
01:05:12,833 --> 01:05:13,501
to seek some funding and

2062
01:05:13,501 --> 01:05:16,837
the city has made some good

2063
01:05:16,837 --> 01:05:17,571
progress with respect to its

2064
01:05:17,571 --> 01:05:20,571
existing city buildings, we are

2065
01:05:21,609 --> 01:05:22,276
constrained by court cases as

2066
01:05:22,276 --> 01:05:22,977
well as new bills that have

2067
01:05:22,977 --> 01:05:26,577
come down from the state of

2068
01:05:26,647 --> 01:05:27,281
California limiting our ability

2069
01:05:27,281 --> 01:05:28,215
to address building codes.

2070
01:05:28,215 --> 01:05:31,986
But we also do want to be

2071
01:05:31,986 --> 01:05:32,653
sensitive as Andrew said in his

2072
01:05:32,653 --> 01:05:33,320
presentation to the cost of

2073
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,524
living in San Diego as well.

2074
01:05:36,524 --> 01:05:37,225
But I would say the biggest

2075
01:05:37,225 --> 01:05:37,926
challenge overall is the lack

2076
01:05:37,926 --> 01:05:40,895
of funding that's available at

2077
01:05:40,895 --> 01:05:41,629
the Federal level to implement

2078
01:05:41,629 --> 01:05:42,296
some of the bigger ticket items

2079
01:05:42,296 --> 01:05:45,199
that we have in our Climate

2080
01:05:45,199 --> 01:05:46,233
Action Plan.

2081
01:05:46,233 --> 01:05:49,470
So that is what we do want to

2082
01:05:49,470 --> 01:05:50,104
and plan to focus on more

2083
01:05:50,104 --> 01:05:50,838
significantly this year is

2084
01:05:50,838 --> 01:05:52,838
identifying alternative funding

2085
01:05:54,608 --> 01:05:55,900
strategies.

2086
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:55,476
Thank you.

2087
01:05:55,476 --> 01:05:57,476
Appreciate that.

2088
01:05:58,780 --> 01:06:01,180
Included in those are

2089
01:06:03,784 --> 01:06:04,850
alternative funding strategies

2090
01:06:04,850 --> 01:06:04,852
.

2091
01:06:04,852 --> 01:06:08,256
You know we have some models

2092
01:06:08,256 --> 01:06:08,957
within the city already power

2093
01:06:08,957 --> 01:06:11,357
purchase agreements that help

2094
01:06:13,561 --> 01:06:13,928
offset or eliminate cost for

2095
01:06:13,928 --> 01:06:14,829
the city.

2096
01:06:14,829 --> 01:06:17,965
So is there a thought to pivot

2097
01:06:17,965 --> 01:06:19,965
toward revenue generating

2098
01:06:22,970 --> 01:06:24,970
revenue neutral investments?

2099
01:06:27,475 --> 01:06:32,275
Um, while we kind of wait for a

2100
01:06:32,580 --> 01:06:33,147
federal environment that's more

2101
01:06:33,147 --> 01:06:33,848
helpful on that front?

2102
01:06:33,848 --> 01:06:35,848
Yes, absolutely Councilmember.

2103
01:06:37,452 --> 01:06:41,652
So we have pivoted to some of

2104
01:06:41,890 --> 01:06:42,557
those cost neutral and in some

2105
01:06:42,557 --> 01:06:43,157
cases even some some upside

2106
01:06:43,157 --> 01:06:45,557
with the energy savings

2107
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:47,662
performance contract that

2108
01:06:47,662 --> 01:06:48,396
the council saw recently.

2109
01:06:48,396 --> 01:06:51,599
That was the first portfolio in

2110
01:06:51,599 --> 01:06:52,300
a much broader strategy that

2111
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:53,340
has been years in the making.

2112
01:06:53,340 --> 01:06:56,371
We had to make some adjustments

2113
01:06:56,371 --> 01:06:57,138
to our code, hire some experts

2114
01:06:57,138 --> 01:06:57,839
to help us move through this

2115
01:06:57,839 --> 01:06:58,442
process because it is a model

2116
01:06:58,442 --> 01:07:01,509
that is new to the city.

2117
01:07:01,509 --> 01:07:02,243
But now we have the first one

2118
01:07:02,243 --> 01:07:05,843
inked and underway who are very

2119
01:07:05,980 --> 01:07:06,681
excited to see that hopefully

2120
01:07:06,681 --> 01:07:07,415
be successful and a model that

2121
01:07:07,415 --> 01:07:11,150
we can continue to expand upon.

2122
01:07:11,190 --> 01:07:11,719
We did something sort of

2123
01:07:11,719 --> 01:07:15,222
similar in terms of a public

2124
01:07:15,222 --> 01:07:15,823
private partnership with a

2125
01:07:15,823 --> 01:07:16,524
concessions agreement to

2126
01:07:16,524 --> 01:07:19,894
basically make use of our city

2127
01:07:19,894 --> 01:07:20,628
facilities for that ev Charging

2128
01:07:20,628 --> 01:07:21,329
for for the public to utilize.

2129
01:07:21,329 --> 01:07:24,329
So definitely see us doubling

2130
01:07:24,966 --> 01:07:25,633
down more and more on those

2131
01:07:25,633 --> 01:07:29,233
types of models where we can

2132
01:07:29,337 --> 01:07:30,380
bring in private financing or

2133
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:30,705
innovative funding models that

2134
01:07:30,705 --> 01:07:33,705
don't require a big capital

2135
01:07:34,476 --> 01:07:34,876
outlay from the city upfront.

2136
01:07:34,876 --> 01:07:36,876
Thank you.

2137
01:07:39,481 --> 01:07:40,810
So as we're beginning to

2138
01:07:40,810 --> 01:07:43,810
prepare for the next cap

2139
01:07:44,219 --> 01:07:44,719
update, what are some key

2140
01:07:44,719 --> 01:07:45,353
lessons from this

2141
01:07:45,353 --> 01:07:47,353
implementation period that

2142
01:07:48,923 --> 01:07:49,624
we're already thinking Will

2143
01:07:49,624 --> 01:07:52,240
inform that update especially

2144
01:07:54,620 --> 01:07:54,830
those that will have

2145
01:07:54,830 --> 01:07:57,830
the biggest impacts on emission

2146
01:07:58,166 --> 01:07:58,933
reductions?

2147
01:07:58,933 --> 01:08:01,933
>> I think one example was

2148
01:08:03,710 --> 01:08:03,538
something that was mentioned by

2149
01:08:03,538 --> 01:08:04,272
the aba earlier.

2150
01:08:04,272 --> 01:08:07,272
Something we're also looking at

2151
01:08:08,110 --> 01:08:08,810
too is we do have a lot of

2152
01:08:08,810 --> 01:08:09,577
actions in the plan Right now

2153
01:08:09,577 --> 01:08:12,577
we do have 190 and really

2154
01:08:12,981 --> 01:08:13,648
focusing in more on and

2155
01:08:13,648 --> 01:08:16,480
prioritizing those that are

2156
01:08:17,850 --> 01:08:17,819
within more strongly within

2157
01:08:17,819 --> 01:08:18,553
the city's jurisdiction, within

2158
01:08:18,553 --> 01:08:21,553
its legal authority, within its

2159
01:08:22,624 --> 01:08:23,291
influence area.

2160
01:08:23,291 --> 01:08:23,992
And then I think also

2161
01:08:23,992 --> 01:08:26,992
overlapping that with what our

2162
01:08:27,290 --> 01:08:27,696
largest emission sources And

2163
01:08:27,696 --> 01:08:28,430
then another element of that

2164
01:08:28,430 --> 01:08:29,970
that we do and I think we do a

2165
01:08:29,970 --> 01:08:31,666
pretty good job of in

2166
01:08:31,666 --> 01:08:32,367
the current plan and perhaps we

2167
01:08:32,367 --> 01:08:33,680
can always do better But then

2168
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,680
also overlaying that with what

2169
01:08:36,938 --> 01:08:37,639
are the other co-benefits as we

2170
01:08:37,639 --> 01:08:41,377
get this maybe to the city, to

2171
01:08:41,377 --> 01:08:42,760
communities, to communities of

2172
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:42,711
concern etc. That come from

2173
01:08:42,711 --> 01:08:45,111
these climate actions and

2174
01:08:45,814 --> 01:08:46,581
really having that information

2175
01:08:46,581 --> 01:08:47,249
front and center to help inform

2176
01:08:47,249 --> 01:08:49,649
good decision making going

2177
01:08:50,752 --> 01:08:51,152
forward.

2178
01:08:51,152 --> 01:08:51,786
>> Thanks.

2179
01:08:51,786 --> 01:08:54,186
Just two more questions.

2180
01:08:55,891 --> 01:08:56,358
I think that that very lengthy

2181
01:08:56,358 --> 01:08:58,358
list of actions.

2182
01:09:01,296 --> 01:09:02,300
Um some of the actions that

2183
01:09:02,300 --> 01:09:05,300
haven't started or are in

2184
01:09:05,734 --> 01:09:06,601
the planning stage.

2185
01:09:06,601 --> 01:09:10,201
Can you give us some examples

2186
01:09:10,572 --> 01:09:11,173
of actions that are kind of

2187
01:09:11,173 --> 01:09:13,573
within the city's direct

2188
01:09:15,110 --> 01:09:15,911
control and not dependent on

2189
01:09:15,911 --> 01:09:18,911
federal or state funding but

2190
01:09:19,648 --> 01:09:20,349
then can help us understand

2191
01:09:20,349 --> 01:09:22,749
what's blocking those actions

2192
01:09:24,152 --> 01:09:25,120
from moving forward?

2193
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,490
>> I'd be happy to do that.

2194
01:09:28,490 --> 01:09:29,126
I think one one really good

2195
01:09:29,126 --> 01:09:29,791
example of that is what's

2196
01:09:29,791 --> 01:09:32,791
referred to in the existing

2197
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:33,529
Climate Action Plan as an

2198
01:09:33,529 --> 01:09:34,229
existing building

2199
01:09:34,229 --> 01:09:36,229
decarbonization roadmap which

2200
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:38,805
is another way of saying it's a

2201
01:09:38,805 --> 01:09:39,468
plan for how can we reduce

2202
01:09:39,468 --> 01:09:41,868
emissions from our existing

2203
01:09:42,604 --> 01:09:43,138
buildings, save energy in our

2204
01:09:43,138 --> 01:09:45,138
existing buildings.

2205
01:09:47,810 --> 01:09:48,477
That effort has not really

2206
01:09:48,477 --> 01:09:49,144
moved forward in full since

2207
01:09:49,144 --> 01:09:49,478
the Climate Action Plan was

2208
01:09:49,478 --> 01:09:51,478
updated.

2209
01:09:52,982 --> 01:09:53,682
However, we have been able to

2210
01:09:53,682 --> 01:09:54,350
the funding source I mentioned

2211
01:09:54,350 --> 01:09:57,186
for the Climate Action Plan

2212
01:09:57,186 --> 01:09:57,953
update from sandag we are able

2213
01:09:57,953 --> 01:10:01,553
to utilize that to move that

2214
01:10:01,657 --> 01:10:02,291
roadmap forward and we're

2215
01:10:02,291 --> 01:10:02,858
really excited about that.

2216
01:10:02,858 --> 01:10:05,258
We think that's really

2217
01:10:06,695 --> 01:10:07,496
important because there we can

2218
01:10:07,496 --> 01:10:11,000
really as we I think it was

2219
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:11,700
part of your question existing

2220
01:10:11,700 --> 01:10:12,334
buildings and energy use there

2221
01:10:12,334 --> 01:10:13,680
that's one of the biggest

2222
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,171
sources in the city If we fast

2223
01:10:16,171 --> 01:10:16,939
forward to the future.

2224
01:10:16,939 --> 01:10:17,606
Most of the buildings that

2225
01:10:17,606 --> 01:10:18,107
we'll have in the future are

2226
01:10:18,107 --> 01:10:20,107
already here now.

2227
01:10:20,910 --> 01:10:21,644
So that's that's a big part.

2228
01:10:21,644 --> 01:10:25,147
So being able to move that

2229
01:10:25,147 --> 01:10:25,781
effort forward to identify what

2230
01:10:25,781 --> 01:10:28,181
are the policy strategies

2231
01:10:29,718 --> 01:10:30,419
within the city's control what

2232
01:10:30,419 --> 01:10:31,120
how do they break down across

2233
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,520
different kinds of buildings,

2234
01:10:35,257 --> 01:10:36,250
different age of buildings?

2235
01:10:36,250 --> 01:10:36,358
What are the cost implications

2236
01:10:36,358 --> 01:10:37,260
of that?

2237
01:10:37,260 --> 01:10:40,260
We have a cost effectiveness

2238
01:10:40,429 --> 01:10:41,290
study along with that.

2239
01:10:41,290 --> 01:10:41,430
So sorry to interrupt.

2240
01:10:41,430 --> 01:10:43,430
No problem.

2241
01:10:45,334 --> 01:10:46,350
Um I understand like that's an

2242
01:10:46,350 --> 01:10:46,802
important one That's not move

2243
01:10:46,802 --> 01:10:49,471
moving What I'm trying to get

2244
01:10:49,471 --> 01:10:50,272
at have some help with us

2245
01:10:50,272 --> 01:10:53,272
understanding why is it staff

2246
01:10:55,477 --> 01:10:56,179
capacity was was it an internal

2247
01:10:56,179 --> 01:10:59,248
if I can answer your question

2248
01:10:59,248 --> 01:10:59,748
it's staff capacity and

2249
01:10:59,748 --> 01:11:00,616
internal funding.

2250
01:11:00,616 --> 01:11:04,816
So how much more staff would be

2251
01:11:04,887 --> 01:11:05,454
needed to make the progress we

2252
01:11:05,454 --> 01:11:06,222
want to make on that?

2253
01:11:06,222 --> 01:11:09,158
The progress that was called

2254
01:11:09,158 --> 01:11:09,558
for in the plan.

2255
01:11:09,558 --> 01:11:11,558
Right.

2256
01:11:13,996 --> 01:11:14,763
So um, you know I come before

2257
01:11:14,763 --> 01:11:15,497
this council a lot and I tell

2258
01:11:15,497 --> 01:11:16,232
you that we'll do the best that

2259
01:11:16,232 --> 01:11:19,535
we can with the resources that

2260
01:11:19,535 --> 01:11:20,235
are available which is what

2261
01:11:20,235 --> 01:11:20,903
I'll tell you now you know,

2262
01:11:20,903 --> 01:11:23,672
ideal worlds Would we have

2263
01:11:23,672 --> 01:11:24,173
unlimited staffing resources?

2264
01:11:24,173 --> 01:11:24,907
Yes, we would.

2265
01:11:24,907 --> 01:11:27,907
But given given the budgetary

2266
01:11:29,780 --> 01:11:29,779
constraints I don't have an

2267
01:11:29,779 --> 01:11:30,312
answer for you today on your

2268
01:11:30,312 --> 01:11:32,312
particular question.

2269
01:11:33,820 --> 01:11:33,983
But what I will say is that

2270
01:11:33,983 --> 01:11:34,717
when we are able to at least

2271
01:11:34,717 --> 01:11:37,717
have the capacity to strategize

2272
01:11:37,987 --> 01:11:38,521
on how to go get the funding,

2273
01:11:38,521 --> 01:11:39,221
that's very helpful.

2274
01:11:39,221 --> 01:11:42,458
So in the example that Andrew

2275
01:11:42,458 --> 01:11:43,259
gave we were able to repurpose

2276
01:11:43,259 --> 01:11:43,692
money that we have to achieve

2277
01:11:43,692 --> 01:11:45,692
two outcomes.

2278
01:11:47,530 --> 01:11:48,264
>> Got it.

2279
01:11:48,264 --> 01:11:48,931
Again in terms of like lessons

2280
01:11:48,931 --> 01:11:51,734
learned I think making sure

2281
01:11:51,734 --> 01:11:52,501
that what we have is a plan

2282
01:11:52,501 --> 01:11:53,402
moving forward is a plan that

2283
01:11:53,402 --> 01:11:57,200
we either can implement or at

2284
01:11:57,173 --> 01:11:57,907
least have a clear

2285
01:11:57,907 --> 01:11:58,607
understanding of what is needed

2286
01:11:58,607 --> 01:12:02,207
in order to implement is going

2287
01:12:02,211 --> 01:12:02,979
to be super, super important.

2288
01:12:02,979 --> 01:12:06,382
And the last thing kind of

2289
01:12:06,382 --> 01:12:07,182
somewhat along those lines as

2290
01:12:07,182 --> 01:12:09,582
we as was mentioned

2291
01:12:11,988 --> 01:12:12,355
affordability is incredibly

2292
01:12:12,355 --> 01:12:13,550
important.

2293
01:12:13,550 --> 01:12:13,723
We want to be very mindful of

2294
01:12:13,723 --> 01:12:15,758
anything that increases cost

2295
01:12:15,758 --> 01:12:16,492
but there are undoubtedly

2296
01:12:16,492 --> 01:12:18,892
actions that would meaningfully

2297
01:12:21,330 --> 01:12:21,898
reduce emissions and could

2298
01:12:21,898 --> 01:12:22,632
reduce cost of living

2299
01:12:22,632 --> 01:12:25,632
especially when as relates to

2300
01:12:25,935 --> 01:12:27,935
transportation the less

2301
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:31,607
dependent people are on on gas

2302
01:12:31,607 --> 01:12:32,308
powered vehicles to get to and

2303
01:12:32,308 --> 01:12:35,711
from where they need to go.

2304
01:12:35,711 --> 01:12:36,279
The less they are subject to

2305
01:12:36,279 --> 01:12:36,913
the whims of an insane

2306
01:12:36,913 --> 01:12:39,313
PRESIDENT Who just spiked

2307
01:12:44,787 --> 01:12:45,654
everyone's gas prices the less

2308
01:12:45,654 --> 01:12:46,220
and the more that they can they

2309
01:12:46,220 --> 01:12:48,220
can save.

2310
01:12:49,659 --> 01:12:50,360
And so we've done a lot in that

2311
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,360
vein in terms of making

2312
01:12:54,597 --> 01:12:54,997
mobility options more

2313
01:12:54,997 --> 01:12:55,665
accessible.

2314
01:12:55,665 --> 01:12:56,299
We've done a lot to increase

2315
01:12:56,299 --> 01:12:58,699
housing density near those

2316
01:12:59,468 --> 01:13:00,236
mobility options And I think we

2317
01:13:00,236 --> 01:13:03,236
can lean more into like

2318
01:13:04,507 --> 01:13:05,208
literally putting people into

2319
01:13:05,208 --> 01:13:07,608
those modes of transportation

2320
01:13:09,646 --> 01:13:10,346
and mobility And so that's

2321
01:13:10,346 --> 01:13:10,980
something that I'm going to be

2322
01:13:10,980 --> 01:13:14,580
looking for in the next in

2323
01:13:14,617 --> 01:13:15,251
the next cat because again it's

2324
01:13:15,251 --> 01:13:18,251
a way of directly reducing

2325
01:13:18,888 --> 01:13:19,589
people's cost of living and

2326
01:13:19,589 --> 01:13:20,156
meaningfully moving the needle

2327
01:13:20,156 --> 01:13:20,891
in terms of emissions

2328
01:13:20,891 --> 01:13:24,491
reductions And I don't think it

2329
01:13:24,761 --> 01:13:25,628
needs to be done necessarily at

2330
01:13:25,628 --> 01:13:26,295
a huge cost to city or even any

2331
01:13:26,295 --> 01:13:26,930
cost the city if we're being

2332
01:13:26,930 --> 01:13:29,330
creative about opening up

2333
01:13:29,365 --> 01:13:29,799
opportunities and looking for

2334
01:13:29,799 --> 01:13:30,366
partnerships.

2335
01:13:30,366 --> 01:13:30,767
So thank you again for

2336
01:13:30,767 --> 01:13:32,767
the update.

2337
01:13:34,871 --> 01:13:35,538
Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

2338
01:13:35,538 --> 01:13:35,905
>> Appreciate all the time.

2339
01:13:35,905 --> 01:13:36,272
All right.

2340
01:13:36,272 --> 01:13:37,600
Thank you.

2341
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,142
Council Yellow Rivera I will go

2342
01:13:39,142 --> 01:13:39,809
next to Council member Whitburn

2343
01:13:39,809 --> 01:13:40,410
Thank you Council PRESIDENT

2344
01:13:40,410 --> 01:13:41,100
Thank you very much for

2345
01:13:41,100 --> 01:13:41,344
the presentation on this

2346
01:13:41,344 --> 01:13:43,344
update.

2347
01:13:44,514 --> 01:13:45,181
I will sort of pick off pick up

2348
01:13:45,181 --> 01:13:47,181
exactly where Councilmember

2349
01:13:48,685 --> 01:13:49,352
Elio Rivera left off which is

2350
01:13:49,352 --> 01:13:49,919
elaborating a little bit on

2351
01:13:49,919 --> 01:13:52,319
the third strategy of

2352
01:13:53,290 --> 01:13:53,990
the climate action into

2353
01:13:53,990 --> 01:13:56,390
the implementation plan which

2354
01:13:57,660 --> 01:13:58,328
is mobility and land use.

2355
01:13:58,328 --> 01:13:59,620
There are a number of

2356
01:13:59,620 --> 01:14:02,620
references in the status update

2357
01:14:03,990 --> 01:14:03,800
related to the importance of

2358
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,800
pairing housing with access to

2359
01:14:07,670 --> 01:14:08,405
transit as a means of reducing

2360
01:14:08,405 --> 01:14:10,805
emissions from vehicular travel

2361
01:14:12,410 --> 01:14:13,376
and reducing cost of living.

2362
01:14:13,376 --> 01:14:13,943
So in addition to what has been

2363
01:14:13,943 --> 01:14:14,546
already discussed this

2364
01:14:14,546 --> 01:14:17,380
afternoon I want to call

2365
01:14:17,380 --> 01:14:18,480
attention to the city's support

2366
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:20,448
for transit oriented housing

2367
01:14:22,152 --> 01:14:22,852
development councilmembers

2368
01:14:22,852 --> 01:14:25,852
Moreno and Isla Rivera and

2369
01:14:26,723 --> 01:14:27,390
Foster and I serve on the mta

2370
01:14:27,390 --> 01:14:27,991
board of directors and just

2371
01:14:27,991 --> 01:14:30,391
last week we celebrated

2372
01:14:31,394 --> 01:14:32,950
the grand opening of an

2373
01:14:32,950 --> 01:14:34,495
affordable housing project on

2374
01:14:36,660 --> 01:14:36,733
its property in Councilmember

2375
01:14:36,733 --> 01:14:37,200
Van Gilbert's district up in

2376
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:37,834
Rancho Bernardo.

2377
01:14:37,834 --> 01:14:40,234
It's a development called

2378
01:14:40,571 --> 01:14:41,338
Skyline.

2379
01:14:41,338 --> 01:14:41,938
It's providing 99 units of

2380
01:14:41,938 --> 01:14:43,938
affordable housing to

2381
01:14:45,909 --> 01:14:46,610
individuals and families

2382
01:14:46,610 --> 01:14:46,977
earning between 30% and 50% of

2383
01:14:46,977 --> 01:14:48,977
the area.

2384
01:14:51,214 --> 01:14:51,815
Median income And it is located

2385
01:14:51,815 --> 01:14:54,815
right next to the Rancho

2386
01:14:55,685 --> 01:14:56,486
Bernardo Transit Station which

2387
01:14:56,486 --> 01:14:57,254
makes it easy for residents to

2388
01:14:57,254 --> 01:15:00,857
use transit to get to work or

2389
01:15:00,857 --> 01:15:01,424
to school Medical appointments

2390
01:15:01,424 --> 01:15:02,126
to commercial centers.

2391
01:15:02,126 --> 01:15:05,429
And the city of San Diego has

2392
01:15:05,429 --> 01:15:05,862
supported this project rather

2393
01:15:05,862 --> 01:15:06,530
significantly.

2394
01:15:06,530 --> 01:15:09,530
It has supported the project

2395
01:15:09,633 --> 01:15:10,267
through a $5 million loan

2396
01:15:10,267 --> 01:15:10,600
through the Bridge to Home

2397
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:11,168
program.

2398
01:15:11,168 --> 01:15:13,568
The San Diego Housing

2399
01:15:14,337 --> 01:15:15,380
Commission awarded tax exempt

2400
01:15:15,380 --> 01:15:15,672
bond revenue to the project as

2401
01:15:15,672 --> 01:15:18,720
well as housing vouchers.

2402
01:15:19,309 --> 01:15:19,943
So this is just the latest in a

2403
01:15:19,943 --> 01:15:22,343
series of transit oriented

2404
01:15:24,470 --> 01:15:24,748
development projects that are

2405
01:15:24,748 --> 01:15:25,348
not only climate friendly but

2406
01:15:25,348 --> 01:15:27,748
they are providing truly

2407
01:15:29,386 --> 01:15:29,820
affordable housing that our

2408
01:15:29,820 --> 01:15:30,754
region needs.

2409
01:15:30,754 --> 01:15:34,624
So I want to thank everybody at

2410
01:15:34,624 --> 01:15:35,292
the city and the Housing

2411
01:15:35,292 --> 01:15:36,260
Commission and mts who made

2412
01:15:36,260 --> 01:15:38,426
those projects possible because

2413
01:15:39,496 --> 01:15:40,130
those are exactly the types of

2414
01:15:40,130 --> 01:15:40,831
projects that we should be

2415
01:15:40,831 --> 01:15:44,167
pursuing that help in so many

2416
01:15:44,167 --> 01:15:44,901
different ways from reducing

2417
01:15:44,901 --> 01:15:45,269
emissions to reducing the cost

2418
01:15:45,269 --> 01:15:45,636
of living.

2419
01:15:45,636 --> 01:15:46,303
Thank you.

2420
01:15:46,303 --> 01:15:48,703
Council PRESIDENT Thank you,

2421
01:15:49,273 --> 01:15:49,906
Councilmember Whitburn We'll go

2422
01:15:49,906 --> 01:15:50,240
next to Council member Von

2423
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,240
Wolpert.

2424
01:15:53,644 --> 01:15:54,244
>> I'm thank you very much for

2425
01:15:54,244 --> 01:15:57,244
the work on this and

2426
01:15:57,881 --> 01:15:58,549
the presentation I have quite a

2427
01:15:58,549 --> 01:16:01,549
few questions because I feel

2428
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:03,420
that the presentation didn't do

2429
01:16:03,420 --> 01:16:04,188
justice to all the work

2430
01:16:04,188 --> 01:16:07,788
the city has been doing to

2431
01:16:08,580 --> 01:16:08,492
actually meet our climate

2432
01:16:08,492 --> 01:16:09,193
action goals.

2433
01:16:09,193 --> 01:16:09,827
I mean if you read the report

2434
01:16:09,827 --> 01:16:11,995
there's a lot more actions

2435
01:16:11,995 --> 01:16:12,696
we've done than we saw in

2436
01:16:12,696 --> 01:16:13,764
the presentation And you know

2437
01:16:13,764 --> 01:16:16,500
we just voted a week and a half

2438
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:20,300
ago two weeks ago to spend

2439
01:16:20,300 --> 01:16:20,704
the most money we've ever spent

2440
01:16:20,704 --> 01:16:21,438
$125 million to retrofit our

2441
01:16:21,438 --> 01:16:24,408
buildings, to have solar on top

2442
01:16:24,408 --> 01:16:24,875
of them And that wasn't even

2443
01:16:24,875 --> 01:16:25,776
mentioned today.

2444
01:16:25,776 --> 01:16:29,376
And so I'm just a little

2445
01:16:30,147 --> 01:16:30,781
confused about why we're not

2446
01:16:30,781 --> 01:16:33,181
highlighting some of this.

2447
01:16:33,951 --> 01:16:37,540
And so my first question is you

2448
01:16:37,540 --> 01:16:40,654
know, it's MARCH of 2026 and so

2449
01:16:41,250 --> 01:16:41,725
why couldn't we have the 2024

2450
01:16:41,725 --> 01:16:42,326
data done and ready to present

2451
01:16:42,326 --> 01:16:43,600
by now, especially since

2452
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,600
the counties already had theirs

2453
01:16:50,901 --> 01:16:51,602
done so primary reasons have to

2454
01:16:51,602 --> 01:16:52,269
do with some of the inputs we

2455
01:16:52,269 --> 01:16:55,205
get from other agencies and

2456
01:16:55,205 --> 01:16:55,906
other places to prepare a

2457
01:16:55,906 --> 01:16:56,640
complete emissions inventory.

2458
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:57,174
It's not that we don't have all

2459
01:16:57,174 --> 01:16:59,743
the data or parts of

2460
01:16:59,743 --> 01:17:00,714
the information we do have a

2461
01:17:00,714 --> 01:17:01,512
lot of it and we will we are on

2462
01:17:01,512 --> 01:17:04,815
track to have it published this

2463
01:17:04,815 --> 01:17:05,416
spring but there are some

2464
01:17:05,416 --> 01:17:06,500
inputs from places like

2465
01:17:06,500 --> 01:17:06,717
the Energy Commission and

2466
01:17:06,717 --> 01:17:09,117
the State Energy Commission

2467
01:17:10,870 --> 01:17:10,788
from Caltrans with at least

2468
01:17:10,788 --> 01:17:14,658
with the way the city does our

2469
01:17:14,658 --> 01:17:15,426
inventory that we simply don't

2470
01:17:15,426 --> 01:17:16,193
have that data in a timely

2471
01:17:16,193 --> 01:17:16,994
manner And we do need some time

2472
01:17:16,994 --> 01:17:19,930
from receipt of the information

2473
01:17:19,930 --> 01:17:20,631
to process it and organize it

2474
01:17:20,631 --> 01:17:21,366
and review it and prepare, you

2475
01:17:21,366 --> 01:17:24,366
know, an inventory update that

2476
01:17:24,602 --> 01:17:25,336
we feel good about.

2477
01:17:25,336 --> 01:17:28,336
>> So that's that's the case

2478
01:17:29,139 --> 01:17:29,440
for our situation.

2479
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:31,440
Okay.

2480
01:17:33,577 --> 01:17:34,278
I guess I just have I'm

2481
01:17:34,278 --> 01:17:35,112
confused about how the county

2482
01:17:35,112 --> 01:17:39,160
would be able to do it but we

2483
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:39,784
wouldn't like we'd be happy to

2484
01:17:39,784 --> 01:17:43,287
take a look at the specific

2485
01:17:43,287 --> 01:17:43,954
methodologies and data sources

2486
01:17:43,954 --> 01:17:44,655
the county is using in their

2487
01:17:44,655 --> 01:17:45,323
inventory and do a comparison

2488
01:17:45,323 --> 01:17:47,992
and see if there's something

2489
01:17:47,992 --> 01:17:48,692
we're missing that we could be

2490
01:17:48,692 --> 01:17:51,692
doing better and doing faster.

2491
01:17:52,229 --> 01:17:52,930
>> Okay that would be great

2492
01:17:52,930 --> 01:17:53,630
because I feel that we're

2493
01:17:53,630 --> 01:17:56,630
really missing the ability to

2494
01:17:57,468 --> 01:17:58,169
show the public what we're

2495
01:17:58,169 --> 01:17:58,870
doing to try and meet our

2496
01:17:58,870 --> 01:17:59,470
climate action goals And we're

2497
01:17:59,470 --> 01:18:00,204
missing the ability for

2498
01:18:00,204 --> 01:18:04,404
the council to see where we are

2499
01:18:05,900 --> 01:18:05,977
on each goal.

2500
01:18:05,977 --> 01:18:06,644
One question I have is how is

2501
01:18:06,644 --> 01:18:09,440
it that emissions from

2502
01:18:10,648 --> 01:18:13,480
electricity use rose in 2022

2503
01:18:14,318 --> 01:18:15,190
which was four years ago When

2504
01:18:15,190 --> 01:18:17,419
we're expanding our community,

2505
01:18:19,357 --> 01:18:19,991
aggregate our community energy

2506
01:18:19,991 --> 01:18:20,658
aggregate choice providers

2507
01:18:20,658 --> 01:18:23,580
through North County through

2508
01:18:24,228 --> 01:18:24,929
each county.

2509
01:18:24,929 --> 01:18:26,964
So the more and more customers

2510
01:18:26,964 --> 01:18:27,832
community power gets to go to

2511
01:18:27,832 --> 01:18:28,532
power 100 how is it that we're

2512
01:18:28,532 --> 01:18:29,133
not able to reduce the amount

2513
01:18:29,133 --> 01:18:31,533
of emissions from our

2514
01:18:34,305 --> 01:18:36,305
electricity use?

2515
01:18:39,210 --> 01:18:39,978
>> The what I can't say with

2516
01:18:39,978 --> 01:18:44,178
the data that we use in our

2517
01:18:44,715 --> 01:18:45,383
latest emissions inventory is a

2518
01:18:45,383 --> 01:18:46,500
blend of emissions sources.

2519
01:18:46,500 --> 01:18:49,500
So for electricity the city

2520
01:18:49,287 --> 01:18:49,887
serve primarily by senior

2521
01:18:49,887 --> 01:18:50,288
community power but not

2522
01:18:50,288 --> 01:18:50,988
exclusively.

2523
01:18:50,988 --> 01:18:53,388
There's also electricity from

2524
01:18:53,524 --> 01:18:54,225
sending gas and electric There

2525
01:18:54,225 --> 01:18:57,825
also is from what are called

2526
01:18:58,960 --> 01:18:58,796
direct access providers.

2527
01:18:58,796 --> 01:19:01,796
We essentially prepare a blend

2528
01:19:02,467 --> 01:19:03,134
of emissions from those sources

2529
01:19:03,134 --> 01:19:03,801
to calculate the emissions

2530
01:19:03,801 --> 01:19:07,401
serving the entire city as a

2531
01:19:08,372 --> 01:19:09,730
whole and I guess what I would

2532
01:19:09,730 --> 01:19:12,377
say is it's still very profile

2533
01:19:12,377 --> 01:19:13,144
is still very clean overall.

2534
01:19:13,144 --> 01:19:13,845
It's still a lot cleaner than

2535
01:19:13,845 --> 01:19:14,446
it was when the plan was last

2536
01:19:14,446 --> 01:19:17,215
updated or at least from

2537
01:19:17,215 --> 01:19:17,549
the starting point of the plan

2538
01:19:17,549 --> 01:19:19,549
in 2019.

2539
01:19:21,753 --> 01:19:22,453
But the amount of renewables

2540
01:19:22,453 --> 01:19:23,187
the around of clean energy and

2541
01:19:23,187 --> 01:19:25,690
the mix according to those data

2542
01:19:25,690 --> 01:19:26,758
it was a little bit less

2543
01:19:26,758 --> 01:19:30,358
renewable in 23 than it was in

2544
01:19:30,995 --> 01:19:31,296
2022.

2545
01:19:31,296 --> 01:19:32,163
Okay.

2546
01:19:32,163 --> 01:19:36,363
I guess we would just have to

2547
01:19:39,370 --> 01:19:39,904
go and ask the other entity why

2548
01:19:39,904 --> 01:19:40,572
I would need to I don't have

2549
01:19:40,572 --> 01:19:41,206
that information for you but

2550
01:19:41,206 --> 01:19:43,641
we'd be happy to get that.

2551
01:19:43,641 --> 01:19:44,409
Okay.

2552
01:19:44,409 --> 01:19:47,409
>> Can you bring up slide

2553
01:20:20,912 --> 01:20:21,224
number eight please

2554
01:20:21,224 --> 01:20:23,224
?

2555
01:20:26,217 --> 01:20:26,918
I'm sorry that's on the go.

2556
01:20:26,918 --> 01:20:30,488
>> It's the one with the giant

2557
01:20:30,488 --> 01:20:31,323
that won this one.

2558
01:20:31,323 --> 01:20:34,923
>> I thought it would be much

2559
01:20:35,860 --> 01:20:36,261
more helpful for for me on

2560
01:20:36,261 --> 01:20:36,962
the council.

2561
01:20:36,962 --> 01:20:40,465
I think for the public to have

2562
01:20:40,465 --> 01:20:41,166
a much more detailed

2563
01:20:41,166 --> 01:20:41,933
explanation of what the 78% of

2564
01:20:41,933 --> 01:20:44,933
actions are either in progress

2565
01:20:45,704 --> 01:20:46,104
or complete and 66% are

2566
01:20:46,104 --> 01:20:48,104
continuous.

2567
01:20:50,642 --> 01:20:51,343
I mean for example we approved

2568
01:20:51,343 --> 01:20:54,343
a $60 million contract to make

2569
01:20:54,512 --> 01:20:55,213
sure we're installing electric

2570
01:20:55,213 --> 01:20:55,614
vehicle chargers in our public

2571
01:20:55,614 --> 01:20:57,614
facilities.

2572
01:20:59,284 --> 01:21:00,520
How many have been rolled out

2573
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:00,886
and what are we waiting on?

2574
01:21:00,886 --> 01:21:05,560
Where are we on this metric I'd

2575
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:05,357
like to be able to monitor that

2576
01:21:05,357 --> 01:21:06,570
.

2577
01:21:06,570 --> 01:21:06,758
That's money that we spend on

2578
01:21:06,758 --> 01:21:07,559
taxpayer funding and we should

2579
01:21:07,559 --> 01:21:10,328
be able to see where we are on

2580
01:21:10,328 --> 01:21:11,290
this.

2581
01:21:11,290 --> 01:21:11,696
I read it in the report.

2582
01:21:11,696 --> 01:21:12,397
It just says in progress or

2583
01:21:12,397 --> 01:21:14,650
completed in progress it'll be

2584
01:21:14,650 --> 01:21:14,866
much more helpful to see a data

2585
01:21:14,866 --> 01:21:15,801
set that shows us where we are.

2586
01:21:15,801 --> 01:21:16,569
Do we know how many have been

2587
01:21:16,569 --> 01:21:20,169
installed and how many are left

2588
01:21:21,206 --> 01:21:22,740
to be installed for

2589
01:21:22,740 --> 01:21:25,740
the reporting on ev charging

2590
01:21:26,812 --> 01:21:27,446
installations I can hand it

2591
01:21:27,446 --> 01:21:28,800
over to Heather Werner and

2592
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,480
the Department of General

2593
01:21:31,316 --> 01:21:32,284
Services team online.

2594
01:21:32,284 --> 01:21:32,851
I will just note I think there

2595
01:21:32,851 --> 01:21:33,485
is a lot more detailed

2596
01:21:33,485 --> 01:21:35,721
information on the climate

2597
01:21:35,721 --> 01:21:36,421
dashboard than what is

2598
01:21:36,421 --> 01:21:39,421
presented and just kind of

2599
01:21:40,459 --> 01:21:41,930
the single status in terms of

2600
01:21:41,930 --> 01:21:41,760
the status of each action.

2601
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:42,428
There's more indicators and

2602
01:21:42,428 --> 01:21:45,428
more detail on the dashboard

2603
01:21:46,232 --> 01:21:46,932
but as far as the ev charging,

2604
01:21:46,932 --> 01:21:49,769
let the Department of General

2605
01:21:49,769 --> 01:21:50,680
Services chime Minister online

2606
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:50,469
.

2607
01:21:50,469 --> 01:21:50,902
I'm here.

2608
01:21:50,902 --> 01:21:51,603
Thanks Randy.

2609
01:21:51,603 --> 01:21:52,370
Hi Councilmember Thank you for

2610
01:21:52,370 --> 01:21:52,604
your question.

2611
01:21:52,604 --> 01:21:55,700
So we are doing those

2612
01:21:55,700 --> 01:21:55,674
installations in bulk.

2613
01:21:55,674 --> 01:21:58,740
We have 53 live reports.

2614
01:21:59,440 --> 01:21:59,745
There are about 50 sites which

2615
01:21:59,745 --> 01:22:02,745
equal about 300 ports both a

2616
01:22:03,982 --> 01:22:04,683
mix of level two and dc fast

2617
01:22:04,683 --> 01:22:07,830
charging I'm sorry 600 ports.

2618
01:22:08,570 --> 01:22:08,353
There's about 300 of each at 45

2619
01:22:08,353 --> 01:22:09,254
sites.

2620
01:22:09,254 --> 01:22:12,824
Most of those all of those have

2621
01:22:12,824 --> 01:22:13,492
been submitted and are in

2622
01:22:13,492 --> 01:22:14,193
process with dsd and all of

2623
01:22:14,193 --> 01:22:16,929
them are also in process with

2624
01:22:16,929 --> 01:22:17,630
sd Jenny Certain sites will be

2625
01:22:17,630 --> 01:22:18,330
able to be installed probably

2626
01:22:18,330 --> 01:22:18,964
in the summer and fall because

2627
01:22:18,964 --> 01:22:21,364
they don't require utility

2628
01:22:22,901 --> 01:22:23,535
upgrades and additional power.

2629
01:22:23,535 --> 01:22:26,535
Others will take longer as

2630
01:22:26,739 --> 01:22:27,639
Jenny goes through the process

2631
01:22:27,639 --> 01:22:28,507
of working with us to get more

2632
01:22:28,507 --> 01:22:32,100
power to those sites for those

2633
01:22:32,100 --> 01:22:32,778
installations.

2634
01:22:32,778 --> 01:22:33,345
I would also remind you that

2635
01:22:33,345 --> 01:22:34,120
yes, the 60 million is

2636
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,348
the entity for that contract

2637
01:22:36,348 --> 01:22:37,490
but for right now we are

2638
01:22:37,490 --> 01:22:39,449
actually receiving revenue and

2639
01:22:39,952 --> 01:22:40,686
do so throughout the ten years

2640
01:22:40,686 --> 01:22:41,387
of that contract and still have

2641
01:22:41,387 --> 01:22:44,356
until we purchase the actuals

2642
01:22:44,356 --> 01:22:45,900
on the buyout and we do

2643
01:22:45,900 --> 01:22:48,627
anticipate an update as part of

2644
01:22:48,627 --> 01:22:49,294
the budget process on where we

2645
01:22:49,294 --> 01:22:51,694
are with those anticipated

2646
01:22:53,866 --> 01:22:54,166
costs and revenues.

2647
01:22:54,166 --> 01:22:55,340
Okay.

2648
01:22:55,340 --> 01:22:55,701
So when are we going to get a

2649
01:22:55,701 --> 01:22:58,737
report This is how many are

2650
01:22:58,737 --> 01:22:59,138
installed and how many are left

2651
01:22:59,138 --> 01:23:01,138
to install.

2652
01:23:02,808 --> 01:23:03,342
>> So we have category one is

2653
01:23:03,342 --> 01:23:04,900
all the way through.

2654
01:23:04,900 --> 01:23:04,321
That's all the public facing

2655
01:23:04,321 --> 01:23:04,977
sites.

2656
01:23:04,977 --> 01:23:08,113
We are starting to work to

2657
01:23:08,113 --> 01:23:08,714
identify category twos.

2658
01:23:08,714 --> 01:23:09,810
Those are our workplace

2659
01:23:09,810 --> 01:23:09,782
chargers.

2660
01:23:09,782 --> 01:23:12,985
We also have chargers going in

2661
01:23:12,985 --> 01:23:13,319
as part of a number of our

2662
01:23:13,319 --> 01:23:13,986
cities.

2663
01:23:13,986 --> 01:23:16,986
That includes the update to

2664
01:23:17,255 --> 01:23:17,957
Brownfield.

2665
01:23:17,957 --> 01:23:18,624
There are charging ports that

2666
01:23:18,624 --> 01:23:19,291
we're going to be installing

2667
01:23:19,291 --> 01:23:22,291
when the East Village Green

2668
01:23:22,428 --> 01:23:26,280
Project comes in and a number

2669
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:28,567
of our other kind of required

2670
01:23:28,567 --> 01:23:31,136
charge like is now required in

2671
01:23:31,136 --> 01:23:31,937
new construction.

2672
01:23:31,937 --> 01:23:32,605
And so we're working with those

2673
01:23:32,605 --> 01:23:35,605
and those will be obviously

2674
01:23:36,275 --> 01:23:36,675
online as we as the projects

2675
01:23:36,675 --> 01:23:38,675
come online.

2676
01:23:39,145 --> 01:23:42,745
But right now we've got about

2677
01:23:43,215 --> 01:23:43,883
600 ish reports in the queue

2678
01:23:43,883 --> 01:23:44,583
across 47 excuse me 47

2679
01:23:44,583 --> 01:23:47,583
different sites that are all

2680
01:23:48,388 --> 01:23:49,210
going through the permitting

2681
01:23:49,210 --> 01:23:51,421
and the electrification of

2682
01:23:53,325 --> 01:23:54,930
the genie side of the process.

2683
01:23:54,930 --> 01:23:54,794
Once we have those through that

2684
01:23:54,794 --> 01:23:57,194
everything's been approved and

2685
01:23:57,697 --> 01:23:58,431
the work is completed will then

2686
01:23:58,431 --> 01:24:00,831
start notifying different sites

2687
01:24:01,968 --> 01:24:02,301
on their construction timeline

2688
01:24:02,301 --> 01:24:03,690
.

2689
01:24:03,690 --> 01:24:04,360
But right now everything that

2690
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,239
is we are on track in timeline

2691
01:24:07,239 --> 01:24:07,940
for things getting through

2692
01:24:07,940 --> 01:24:09,940
permitting and into

2693
01:24:11,811 --> 01:24:12,578
construction because we are

2694
01:24:12,578 --> 01:24:13,212
just going to offer if it's of

2695
01:24:13,212 --> 01:24:16,150
interest we'd be happy to

2696
01:24:16,150 --> 01:24:16,682
prepare a written report or

2697
01:24:16,682 --> 01:24:17,490
provide a update to council

2698
01:24:17,490 --> 01:24:19,490
committee.

2699
01:24:21,221 --> 01:24:21,954
I think it would be helpful to

2700
01:24:21,954 --> 01:24:22,588
be in the Climate Action annual

2701
01:24:22,588 --> 01:24:25,588
report as well because our

2702
01:24:26,493 --> 01:24:27,193
Climate Action advocates are

2703
01:24:27,193 --> 01:24:27,527
really asking us to forget to

2704
01:24:27,527 --> 01:24:29,527
do that.

2705
01:24:31,964 --> 01:24:32,665
So I'm happy to receive a

2706
01:24:32,665 --> 01:24:33,299
report but it'd be nice for

2707
01:24:33,299 --> 01:24:33,900
the public to see it too.

2708
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:34,634
What about our up goals?

2709
01:24:34,634 --> 01:24:36,335
I don't see anywhere in this

2710
01:24:36,335 --> 01:24:37,360
report how many installations

2711
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:37,737
we've done that have actually

2712
01:24:37,737 --> 01:24:40,640
met our zero emissions goals.

2713
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:41,274
I mean we have a library in

2714
01:24:41,274 --> 01:24:41,974
Carmel Valley that's fully

2715
01:24:41,974 --> 01:24:44,974
electric Now we're building or

2716
01:24:45,812 --> 01:24:46,512
maybe we've built the fire

2717
01:24:46,512 --> 01:24:47,213
station that's fully electric

2718
01:24:47,213 --> 01:24:47,880
And so it's just none of this

2719
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,149
is in this report so I can't

2720
01:24:50,149 --> 01:24:50,817
track it or see it.

2721
01:24:50,817 --> 01:24:54,387
Didn't the city plan over a

2722
01:24:54,387 --> 01:24:55,154
thousand trees last year?

2723
01:24:55,154 --> 01:24:55,621
This was also not in

2724
01:24:55,621 --> 01:24:56,355
the PowerPoint.

2725
01:24:56,355 --> 01:24:56,789
Where does that bring us to our

2726
01:24:56,789 --> 01:24:58,789
canopy goals?

2727
01:24:59,559 --> 01:25:00,326
I just I'm having a hard time

2728
01:25:00,326 --> 01:25:03,326
tracking data with what we're

2729
01:25:04,230 --> 01:25:04,997
we're seeing here And the city

2730
01:25:04,997 --> 01:25:08,768
is doing more and we should be

2731
01:25:08,768 --> 01:25:09,435
showing what we're doing.

2732
01:25:09,435 --> 01:25:11,835
Councilmember, I would just

2733
01:25:13,339 --> 01:25:14,600
note this is not kind of

2734
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:14,674
the regular annual reporting

2735
01:25:14,674 --> 01:25:15,241
that we have typically done.

2736
01:25:15,241 --> 01:25:18,241
We did provide that to

2737
01:25:18,778 --> 01:25:19,546
the Environment Committee I

2738
01:25:19,546 --> 01:25:20,246
think in NOVEMBER And as staff

2739
01:25:20,246 --> 01:25:22,646
mentioned, we'll have another

2740
01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:24,250
more detailed annual report

2741
01:25:24,250 --> 01:25:25,184
ready this spring.

2742
01:25:25,184 --> 01:25:28,888
So I think we're just maybe not

2743
01:25:28,888 --> 01:25:29,589
providing the same level of

2744
01:25:29,589 --> 01:25:33,189
detail about each action as as

2745
01:25:33,259 --> 01:25:34,260
we would in the annual report.

2746
01:25:34,260 --> 01:25:34,627
A lot of that information is

2747
01:25:34,627 --> 01:25:35,394
available or can be made

2748
01:25:35,394 --> 01:25:38,640
available But I understand that

2749
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:38,698
you're looking for more detail

2750
01:25:38,698 --> 01:25:39,265
in terms of the status and

2751
01:25:39,265 --> 01:25:41,265
indicators within each

2752
01:25:41,801 --> 01:25:43,801
individual action.

2753
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:47,640
So I appreciate that feedback.

2754
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:48,408
Okay.

2755
01:25:48,408 --> 01:25:48,975
I think would be much more

2756
01:25:48,975 --> 01:25:50,975
helpful going forward.

2757
01:25:54,848 --> 01:25:55,170
Thank you for the presentation

2758
01:25:55,170 --> 01:25:55,682
.

2759
01:25:55,682 --> 01:25:56,490
>> All right.

2760
01:25:56,490 --> 01:25:56,750
Thank you.

2761
01:25:56,750 --> 01:25:57,317
Councilmember Van Wilpert, not

2762
01:25:57,317 --> 01:25:59,119
seeing anybody else on

2763
01:25:59,119 --> 01:25:59,886
the lights.

2764
01:25:59,886 --> 01:26:03,486
I'll offer a couple of comments

2765
01:26:04,424 --> 01:26:05,125
My colleagues asked a number of

2766
01:26:05,125 --> 01:26:08,361
the questions that I was going

2767
01:26:08,361 --> 01:26:08,962
to touch on but thank you for

2768
01:26:08,962 --> 01:26:09,596
the presentation and

2769
01:26:09,596 --> 01:26:10,130
the broader presentation.

2770
01:26:10,130 --> 01:26:12,530
They actually did an

2771
01:26:13,666 --> 01:26:14,300
environment committee and being

2772
01:26:14,300 --> 01:26:14,934
sensitive to how busy city

2773
01:26:14,934 --> 01:26:17,934
council is that Maybe this

2774
01:26:18,710 --> 01:26:18,505
presentation got a little

2775
01:26:18,505 --> 01:26:19,205
abbreviated.

2776
01:26:19,205 --> 01:26:21,605
I appreciate Councilmember Von

2777
01:26:22,942 --> 01:26:23,643
Wolpert actually highlighting

2778
01:26:23,643 --> 01:26:24,411
the number of things that we

2779
01:26:24,411 --> 01:26:27,614
are doing as a city that we

2780
01:26:27,614 --> 01:26:28,181
didn't actually detail out in

2781
01:26:28,181 --> 01:26:30,181
today's presentation.

2782
01:26:32,180 --> 01:26:32,652
I also once again want to thank

2783
01:26:32,652 --> 01:26:33,353
City planning and general

2784
01:26:33,353 --> 01:26:36,353
services that absorbed the old

2785
01:26:37,570 --> 01:26:37,757
sustainability mobility

2786
01:26:37,757 --> 01:26:40,157
department and kept everybody

2787
01:26:42,950 --> 01:26:42,862
on the ground running.

2788
01:26:42,862 --> 01:26:43,563
So I certainly want to

2789
01:26:43,563 --> 01:26:46,563
recognize the work that's been

2790
01:26:47,334 --> 01:26:48,680
done on climate across multiple

2791
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:48,735
departments and the integration

2792
01:26:48,735 --> 01:26:49,336
of climate action throughout

2793
01:26:49,336 --> 01:26:52,336
our city and our budget

2794
01:26:52,639 --> 01:26:53,306
processes And these efforts

2795
01:26:53,306 --> 01:26:53,907
should be recognized despite

2796
01:26:53,907 --> 01:26:56,307
limited city funding and

2797
01:26:56,943 --> 01:26:57,544
adverse of federal

2798
01:26:57,544 --> 01:26:58,211
administration and court

2799
01:26:58,211 --> 01:26:58,778
rulings that are holding us

2800
01:26:58,778 --> 01:27:01,178
back, the goals remain

2801
01:27:02,415 --> 01:27:03,116
imperative to the welfare of

2802
01:27:03,116 --> 01:27:03,784
the city, our quality of life,

2803
01:27:03,784 --> 01:27:04,317
the stability of our economy

2804
01:27:04,317 --> 01:27:06,717
and of course future

2805
01:27:06,786 --> 01:27:08,786
generations.

2806
01:27:11,591 --> 01:27:12,292
I do want to just reemphasize

2807
01:27:12,292 --> 01:27:13,600
what has been mentioned that

2808
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,660
the city has actually been very

2809
01:27:17,130 --> 01:27:17,831
aggressive.

2810
01:27:17,831 --> 01:27:20,831
I know government never moves

2811
01:27:21,468 --> 01:27:22,402
as fast but people actually

2812
01:27:22,402 --> 01:27:23,103
want us to go down a little bit

2813
01:27:23,103 --> 01:27:23,737
slower so they understand what

2814
01:27:23,737 --> 01:27:24,104
we're doing and when we're

2815
01:27:24,104 --> 01:27:26,104
doing it.

2816
01:27:26,573 --> 01:27:27,274
But the recent asco contract

2817
01:27:27,274 --> 01:27:28,241
that we approved I don't even

2818
01:27:28,241 --> 01:27:31,244
know what it was that last week

2819
01:27:31,244 --> 01:27:32,450
or last month was a huge step

2820
01:27:32,450 --> 01:27:35,449
for the city and and hopefully

2821
01:27:35,449 --> 01:27:36,417
will be the pioneer that shows

2822
01:27:36,417 --> 01:27:39,920
the way for us to do more of

2823
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:40,687
those.

2824
01:27:40,687 --> 01:27:44,287
I want to emphasize then that

2825
01:27:44,825 --> 01:27:45,526
not only affects city buildings

2826
01:27:45,526 --> 01:27:48,526
but it affects buildings that

2827
01:27:50,597 --> 01:27:51,332
are on city property which I

2828
01:27:51,332 --> 01:27:52,232
had to fight very hard to get

2829
01:27:52,232 --> 01:27:54,701
those on for those And just a

2830
01:27:54,701 --> 01:27:55,569
while you did a big effort to

2831
01:27:55,569 --> 01:27:59,769
try to get those on our city

2832
01:27:59,807 --> 01:28:00,507
owned properties And for

2833
01:28:00,507 --> 01:28:01,208
the lessees the public spoke a

2834
01:28:01,208 --> 01:28:04,808
little bit about the impact of

2835
01:28:04,845 --> 01:28:05,746
city Genie but missed something

2836
01:28:05,746 --> 01:28:08,882
that I think we've all kind of

2837
01:28:08,882 --> 01:28:09,716
seen now.

2838
01:28:09,716 --> 01:28:13,120
I mean not only can you talk

2839
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:13,721
about the cost of electricity

2840
01:28:13,721 --> 01:28:16,121
but the investor owned

2841
01:28:18,358 --> 01:28:19,126
utilities lobby the cpc not

2842
01:28:19,126 --> 01:28:19,829
only on net metering but they

2843
01:28:19,829 --> 01:28:23,130
also imposed a lot of other

2844
01:28:23,130 --> 01:28:23,797
requirements on the case that

2845
01:28:23,797 --> 01:28:26,797
increased the cost of doing

2846
01:28:27,768 --> 01:28:28,402
business And as the former

2847
01:28:28,402 --> 01:28:29,103
chair of Community Power I

2848
01:28:29,103 --> 01:28:32,103
thought directly the impact on

2849
01:28:32,773 --> 01:28:33,373
what that did in terms of

2850
01:28:33,373 --> 01:28:35,373
expanding the renewable

2851
01:28:37,411 --> 01:28:38,378
portfolio going forward.

2852
01:28:38,378 --> 01:28:41,978
And what we also saw is

2853
01:28:42,416 --> 01:28:43,117
the resistance of trying to

2854
01:28:43,117 --> 01:28:45,517
build renewable energy within

2855
01:28:46,987 --> 01:28:47,721
our own backyard and trying to

2856
01:28:47,721 --> 01:28:48,355
figure out how we actually meet

2857
01:28:48,355 --> 01:28:50,755
those very, very ambitious

2858
01:28:51,859 --> 01:28:52,726
goals.

2859
01:28:52,726 --> 01:28:53,527
So there's a lot of things that

2860
01:28:53,527 --> 01:28:56,527
come after us that interfere

2861
01:28:56,630 --> 01:28:57,297
with our ability But

2862
01:28:57,297 --> 01:28:57,765
nevertheless city staff do a

2863
01:28:57,765 --> 01:28:59,765
remarkable job.

2864
01:29:01,201 --> 01:29:01,702
The folks at Community Power do

2865
01:29:01,702 --> 01:29:02,570
a remarkable job.

2866
01:29:02,570 --> 01:29:06,440
And for those of you that were

2867
01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:07,140
talking about sea level rise

2868
01:29:07,140 --> 01:29:07,841
that in resilient city it is

2869
01:29:07,841 --> 01:29:10,945
not in the climate action plan

2870
01:29:10,945 --> 01:29:11,812
which is why we didn't talk

2871
01:29:11,812 --> 01:29:15,412
about it today And I'll close

2872
01:29:15,783 --> 01:29:16,383
with joining my colleagues as

2873
01:29:16,383 --> 01:29:19,983
well as the aba be very

2874
01:29:20,254 --> 01:29:20,955
interested in how we can have a

2875
01:29:20,955 --> 01:29:23,955
shorter turnaround in terms of

2876
01:29:24,992 --> 01:29:25,492
modern measuring goals and then

2877
01:29:25,492 --> 01:29:26,460
reporting on them.

2878
01:29:26,460 --> 01:29:29,196
I know we throw a lot at you

2879
01:29:29,196 --> 01:29:29,897
and we don't give you

2880
01:29:29,897 --> 01:29:30,664
the resources to do that work

2881
01:29:30,664 --> 01:29:34,568
but to agree that we can better

2882
01:29:34,568 --> 01:29:34,969
understand what's working and

2883
01:29:34,969 --> 01:29:35,736
what's not.

2884
01:29:35,736 --> 01:29:39,936
I think it would be helpful for

2885
01:29:40,241 --> 01:29:40,908
all of us going forward So I'll

2886
01:29:40,908 --> 01:29:41,575
close there Again, thank you

01:29:41,575 --> 01:29:44,110

01:33:33,708 --> 01:33:34,409
d staff which will be completed

3036
01:33:34,409 --> 01:33:36,411
within six months of lease

3037
01:33:36,411 --> 01:33:37,179
execution.

3038
01:33:37,179 --> 01:33:37,780
This amendment adds prevailing

3039
01:33:37,780 --> 01:33:40,780
wage and the city's zero

3040
01:33:41,650 --> 01:33:42,250
emissions building policy or

3041
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:42,984
Zimbabwe into the lease.

3042
01:33:42,984 --> 01:33:45,654
This amendment requires the zoo

3043
01:33:45,654 --> 01:33:46,388
to provide at a minimum

3044
01:33:46,388 --> 01:33:47,890
$250,000 in complimentary daily

3045
01:33:47,890 --> 01:33:49,489
admission tickets annually to

3046
01:33:50,826 --> 01:33:51,360
San Diego nonprofits, school

3047
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,360
groups and children.

3048
01:33:55,297 --> 01:33:55,931
Some important items to note

3049
01:33:55,931 --> 01:33:56,631
about this amendment The 3

3050
01:33:56,631 --> 01:33:57,332
million annual payment can be

3051
01:33:57,332 --> 01:34:00,332
reduced or eliminated if there

3052
01:34:00,869 --> 01:34:01,603
are further changes or removal

3053
01:34:01,603 --> 01:34:02,638
of paid parking in Balboa Park.

3054
01:34:02,638 --> 01:34:04,840
I will have an example in a few

3055
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:05,540
slides to walk you through this

3056
01:34:05,540 --> 01:34:06,208
If the zoo charges for parking

3057
01:34:06,208 --> 01:34:09,312
at any time the city is

3058
01:34:09,312 --> 01:34:09,912
entitled to 50% of the revenue.

3059
01:34:09,912 --> 01:34:12,312
The third the 3% annual

3060
01:34:13,882 --> 01:34:14,182
escalator will commence in

3061
01:34:14,182 --> 01:34:14,883
2030.

3062
01:34:14,883 --> 01:34:17,720
The annual payment is due to

3063
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:18,420
the city by APRIL 1st of each

3064
01:34:18,420 --> 01:34:19,121
year For this year the current

3065
01:34:19,121 --> 01:34:22,157
payment will be due in 30 days

3066
01:34:22,157 --> 01:34:22,824
from execution of the lease

3067
01:34:22,824 --> 01:34:23,458
the total amount of revenue

3068
01:34:23,458 --> 01:34:26,458
the city will receive from

3069
01:34:27,329 --> 01:34:28,300
the annual minimum payment is

3070
01:34:28,300 --> 01:34:28,731
approximately 330 plus million

3071
01:34:28,731 --> 01:34:31,731
assuming there are no changes

3072
01:34:32,568 --> 01:34:33,368
to paid parking in Balboa Park,

3073
01:34:33,368 --> 01:34:36,104
the 5050 revenue payment is due

3074
01:34:36,104 --> 01:34:36,805
to the city by MAY 15th of each

3075
01:34:36,805 --> 01:34:37,306
year and is collected based on

3076
01:34:37,306 --> 01:34:39,306
the calendar year.

3077
01:34:40,420 --> 01:34:40,776
The revenue stays in Balboa

3078
01:34:40,776 --> 01:34:41,443
Park and will be deposited into

3079
01:34:41,443 --> 01:34:44,443
the Balboa Park paid parking

3080
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:46,248
program Fund which can be used

3081
01:34:46,248 --> 01:34:49,451
by Parks and Rec for day to day

3082
01:34:49,451 --> 01:34:49,852
operations Capital etc. In

3083
01:34:49,852 --> 01:34:50,519
Balboa Park.

3084
01:34:50,519 --> 01:34:52,919
This amendment also ensures

3085
01:34:54,223 --> 01:34:54,923
that city residents are charged

3086
01:34:54,923 --> 01:34:57,323
commensurate rates for parking

3087
01:34:59,528 --> 01:35:00,195
in the zoo parking lot in

3088
01:35:00,195 --> 01:35:02,901
the event the city does not

3089
01:35:02,901 --> 01:35:03,666
charge for parking with in

3090
01:35:03,666 --> 01:35:04,300
Balboa Park on five or more

3091
01:35:04,300 --> 01:35:05,000
days in any calendar year

3092
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,400
including both consecutive and

3093
01:35:08,837 --> 01:35:09,505
non consecutive free parking

3094
01:35:09,505 --> 01:35:10,172
days but excluding any city

3095
01:35:10,172 --> 01:35:12,572
holidays the city's minimum

3096
01:35:13,776 --> 01:35:14,376
payment shall be reduced by a

3097
01:35:14,376 --> 01:35:15,430
percentage equivalent to

3098
01:35:15,430 --> 01:35:15,678
the total number of days in

3099
01:35:15,678 --> 01:35:18,514
which no parking fees are

3100
01:35:18,514 --> 01:35:19,281
charged.

3101
01:35:19,281 --> 01:35:19,982
As an example, if the city does

3102
01:35:19,982 --> 01:35:22,818
not charge for parking on 15

3103
01:35:22,818 --> 01:35:23,552
days exclusive of city holidays

3104
01:35:23,552 --> 01:35:26,255
,the city's minimum payment in

3105
01:35:26,255 --> 01:35:27,222
that calendar year would be

3106
01:35:27,222 --> 01:35:30,222
reduced by 4.11% such that a

3107
01:35:30,526 --> 01:35:31,293
minimum payment otherwise due 3

3108
01:35:31,293 --> 01:35:34,293
million would be reduced by

3109
01:35:34,530 --> 01:35:36,530
approximately 123,000 for a

3110
01:35:37,833 --> 01:35:38,533
total city minimum payment of

3111
01:35:38,533 --> 01:35:39,301
roughly 2.8 million before use

3112
01:35:39,301 --> 01:35:42,301
an example of parking revenue

3113
01:35:43,272 --> 01:35:43,973
breakdown assuming the zoo

3114
01:35:43,973 --> 01:35:46,242
parking lot takes in 6 million

3115
01:35:46,242 --> 01:35:46,942
in revenue in calendar year

3116
01:35:46,942 --> 01:35:47,610
2027 and assuming that there

3117
01:35:47,610 --> 01:35:50,610
are no additional changes to

3118
01:35:51,130 --> 01:35:51,646
the parking in Balboa Park that

3119
01:35:51,646 --> 01:35:52,381
impact the number of days

3120
01:35:52,381 --> 01:35:55,981
the city charges for parking if

3121
01:35:56,185 --> 01:35:56,852
the day to day operating

3122
01:35:56,852 --> 01:35:59,252
expenses are 1.4 million you

3123
01:35:59,421 --> 01:36:00,122
would take the 6 million

3124
01:36:00,122 --> 01:36:03,325
subtract the 700 k for the cap

3125
01:36:03,325 --> 01:36:04,600
on annual operating expenses

3126
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:06,460
which would leave 5.3 million.

3127
01:36:07,697 --> 01:36:08,330
You would then split the 5.3

3128
01:36:08,330 --> 01:36:08,931
million 5050 leaving 2.65

3129
01:36:08,931 --> 01:36:11,331
million because the city

3130
01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:12,735
already received the 3 million

3131
01:36:12,735 --> 01:36:13,302
annual minimum payment the city

3132
01:36:13,302 --> 01:36:13,969
would not receive any

3133
01:36:13,969 --> 01:36:16,369
additional revenue from paid

3134
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:17,707
parking in calendar year 2027

3135
01:36:17,707 --> 01:36:20,707
Using this example however, as

3136
01:36:21,544 --> 01:36:22,144
revenue from paid parking in

3137
01:36:22,144 --> 01:36:22,745
the zoo lot increases

3138
01:36:22,745 --> 01:36:23,312
the chances of the city

3139
01:36:23,312 --> 01:36:25,312
receiving more revenue

3140
01:36:26,820 --> 01:36:26,849
increases.

3141
01:36:26,849 --> 01:36:29,849
For instance if this amount

3142
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:30,753
were 10 million and the city

3143
01:36:30,753 --> 01:36:33,122
would receive 4.65 million or

3144
01:36:33,122 --> 01:36:35,522
1.65 million more above the 3

3145
01:36:38,694 --> 01:36:39,495
million annual payment amount.

3146
01:36:39,495 --> 01:36:40,263
>> The proposed actions before

3147
01:36:40,263 --> 01:36:42,631
you today are make a finding

3148
01:36:42,631 --> 01:36:43,332
under Council Policy 700 Dash

3149
01:36:43,332 --> 01:36:43,966
ten that the Second Amendment

3150
01:36:43,966 --> 01:36:46,966
will serve a valid public

3151
01:36:47,503 --> 01:36:48,137

3156
01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:57,146
and deposit revenue into

3157
01:36:57,146 --> 01:37:00,146
the Balboa Park Paid Parking

3158
01:37:00,583 --> 01:37:01,284
Program fund determine that

3159
01:37:01,284 --> 01:37:01,984
approval of a Second Amendment

3160
01:37:01,984 --> 01:37:03,984
is categorically categorically

3161
01:37:05,788 --> 01:37:06,422
exempt from sequel and finally

3162
01:37:06,422 --> 01:37:07,220
authorize the execution of

3163
01:37:07,220 --> 01:37:07,690

Park.

3169
01:37:15,865 --> 01:37:16,533
That concludes my portion of

3170
01:37:16,533 --> 01:37:17,200
the presentation And at this

3171
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,690

special volunteers who join us

3188
01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:43,910
as well.

3189
01:37:44,727 --> 01:37:45,395
Next slide please.

3190
01:37:45,395 --> 01:37:46,950
For over 100 years the San

3191
01:37:46,950 --> 01:37:49,766
Diego Zoo and the city of San

3192
01:37:49,766 --> 01:37:50,333
Diego have enjoyed a

3193
01:37:50,333 --> 01:37:51,340
tremendously positive

3194
01:37:51,340 --> 01:37:51,601
relationship I think one that

3195
01:37:51,601 --> 01:37:54,100
flows equally in both

3196
01:37:54,771 --> 01:37:55,405
directions the zoo and its

3197
01:37:55,405 --> 01:37:56,600
property, its world class

3198
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,406
collection of plants and

3199
01:37:59,642 --> 01:38:00,210
animals all belong to you and

3200
01:38:00,210 --> 01:38:00,944
are owned by the city.

3201
01:38:00,944 --> 01:38:04,544
It's our honor and privilege to

3202
01:38:04,781 --> 01:38:05,448
serve as your stewards for such

3203
01:38:05,448 --> 01:38:06,149
a well-respected institution

3204
01:38:06,149 --> 01:38:08,549
built by previous generations

3205
01:38:09,319 --> 01:38:09,986
of visionary city leadership

3206
01:38:09,986 --> 01:38:10,653
and passionate and dedicated

3207
01:38:10,653 --> 01:38:13,530
team members and volunteers.

3208
01:38:14,557 --> 01:38:15,291
For the past eight months it

3209
01:38:15,291 --> 01:38:15,892
has been my honor and privilege

3210
01:38:15,892 --> 01:38:18,495
to represent the zoo in

3211
01:38:18,495 --> 01:38:19,195
negotiating this lease

3212
01:38:19,195 --> 01:38:19,762
amendment with Casey Smith on

3213
01:38:19,762 --> 01:38:20,330
behalf of the city and

3214
01:38:20,330 --> 01:38:20,697
the mayor and the city

3215
01:38:20,697 --> 01:38:22,697
attorney.

3216
01:38:24,434 --> 01:38:25,101
I can tell you those

3217
01:38:25,101 --> 01:38:25,468
negotiations were certainly

3218
01:38:25,468 --> 01:38:26,169
rigorous.

3219
01:38:26,169 --> 01:38:26,570
It took us eight months just a

3220
01:38:26,570 --> 01:38:28,570
bit of time.

3221
01:38:28,838 --> 01:38:29,205
But I do think they were very

3222
01:38:29,205 --> 01:38:29,906
thorough.

3223
01:38:29,906 --> 01:38:30,673
And it's also been my pleasure

3224
01:38:30,673 --> 01:38:33,143
to interact with each of you

3225
01:38:33,143 --> 01:38:33,810
and your staffs and I

3226
01:38:33,810 --> 01:38:34,377
appreciate your attention to

3227
01:38:34,377 --> 01:38:36,377
this important matter.

3228
01:38:38,114 --> 01:38:38,848
We MAY be a bit biased but we

3229
01:38:38,848 --> 01:38:39,549
start with the proposition that

3230
01:38:39,549 --> 01:38:42,252
the San Diego Zoo is the crown

3231
01:38:42,252 --> 01:38:42,852
jewel in the entire city and in

3232
01:38:42,852 --> 01:38:43,553
fact the entire county.

3233
01:38:43,553 --> 01:38:46,553
The proposal before you today

3234
01:38:46,923 --> 01:38:47,658
aims to keep itself Your vote

3235
01:38:47,658 --> 01:38:48,291
today will allow our successful

3236
01:38:48,291 --> 01:38:48,825
relationship to thrive for

3237
01:38:48,825 --> 01:38:50,825
generations to come.

3238
01:38:52,462 --> 01:38:53,162
And adapt as we prepare for

3239
01:38:53,162 --> 01:38:53,663
what the zoo will look like in

3240
01:38:53,663 --> 01:38:55,663
the next 50 years.

3241
01:38:57,334 --> 01:38:58,680
The action before you honors

3242
01:38:58,680 --> 01:38:58,802
the commitment I made to you in

3243
01:38:58,802 --> 01:39:01,802
SEPTEMBER and goes even further

3244
01:39:02,405 --> 01:39:03,106
both financially as well as

3245
01:39:03,106 --> 01:39:03,807
with updated lease provisions

3246
01:39:03,807 --> 01:39:06,807
that MR. Smith has identified.

3247
01:39:07,430 --> 01:39:07,811
And it allows us an extension

3248
01:39:07,811 --> 01:39:08,511
of the lease term so that we

3249
01:39:08,511 --> 01:39:11,511
can properly plan and execute

3250
01:39:12,282 --> 01:39:12,850
on future projects to ensure we

3251
01:39:12,850 --> 01:39:13,249
maintain our legacy of

3252
01:39:13,249 --> 01:39:14,510
excellence.

3253
01:39:14,510 --> 01:39:16,987
We plan in terms of decades not

3254
01:39:16,987 --> 01:39:17,654
years.

3255
01:39:17,654 --> 01:39:18,321
And this extension gives us

3256
01:39:18,321 --> 01:39:18,955
the ability to work with our

3257
01:39:18,955 --> 01:39:20,955
financial institutions to

3258
01:39:21,692 --> 01:39:22,358
further invest in deferred

3259
01:39:22,358 --> 01:39:22,726
maintenance and new capital

3260
01:39:22,726 --> 01:39:23,393
projects.

3261
01:39:23,393 --> 01:39:26,393
I believe this represents a

3262
01:39:26,463 --> 01:39:27,130
true partnership and successful

3263
01:39:27,130 --> 01:39:29,530
negotiation for both parties

3264
01:39:31,434 --> 01:39:32,200
while ensuring our legal and

3265
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:32,636
fiduciary obligations.

3266
01:39:32,636 --> 01:39:33,337
I thank you for your time.

3267
01:39:33,337 --> 01:39:36,337
I hope we've addressed any

3268
01:39:37,307 --> 01:39:38,410
concerns and I am hopeful to

3269
01:39:38,410 --> 01:39:38,708
earn your positive vote on this

3270
01:39:38,708 --> 01:39:40,143
critically important matter.

3271
01:39:40,143 --> 01:39:43,743
I would now like to introduce

3272
01:39:45,480 --> 01:39:45,382

3273
01:39:45,382 --> 01:39:47,382

3274
01:39:50,153 --> 01:39:50,821

3275
01:39:50,821 --> 01:39:51,521

3278
01:39:54,991 --> 01:39:55,759
moment for this community.

3279
01:39:55,759 --> 01:39:59,596

3283
01:40:04,901 --> 01:40:05,569
We produce $2.1 billion in

3284
01:40:05,569 --> 01:40:08,569
economic activity in the San

3285
01:40:09,773 --> 01:40:10,540
Diego region.

3286
01:40:10,540 --> 01:40:11,408

3288
01:40:14,811 --> 01:40:15,178

3290
01:40:20,284 --> 01:40:20,984

We're a major employer.

3294
01:40:25,522 --> 01:40:26,123

3298
01:40:31,610 --> 01:40:31,662
It's much higher if you think

3299
01:40:31,662 --> 01:40:31,995
about the region of this

3300
01:40:31,995 --> 01:40:33,995
economy.

partner with the community to

3322
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:10,100
provide better access for

school districts and visitors

3324
01:41:13,904 --> 01:41:14,771

3325
01:41:14,771 --> 01:41:15,506

01:41:15,506 --> 01:41:18,506
lease extension for the benefit

3327
01:41:19,343 --> 01:41:20,440

01:41:20,440 --> 01:41:20,711
the benefit of this community.

3329
01:41:20,711 --> 01:41:24,311
Every dollar that we make we

3330
01:41:24,682 --> 01:41:25,416
put back into the city assets.

3331
01:41:25,416 --> 01:41:29,160

3332
01:41:29,386 --> 01:41:30,120
million invested in the city

3333
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:30,854
asset over the last decade.

3334
01:41:30,854 --> 01:41:33,854
Investments like Africa rocks a

3335
01:41:34,825 --> 01:41:35,526
region within the zoo,

3336
01:41:35,526 --> 01:41:36,227
investments like giant pandas,

3337
01:41:36,227 --> 01:41:39,227
another region within the zoo

3338
01:41:40,531 --> 01:41:41,198
and an investment of the All

3339
01:41:41,198 --> 01:41:41,732
Children zoo called Wildlife

3340
01:41:41,732 --> 01:41:43,732
Explorers Base Camp.

3341
01:41:45,402 --> 01:41:45,703
All investments into this city

3342
01:41:45,703 --> 01:41:46,437
.

3343
01:41:46,437 --> 01:41:47,238
That's on top of the deferred

3344
01:41:47,238 --> 01:41:49,707
maintenance of 110 year old I

3345
01:41:49,707 --> 01:41:50,407
call it house 110 year old

3346
01:41:50,407 --> 01:41:53,611
house that as you know as

3347
01:41:53,611 --> 01:41:54,278
the city has all the deferred

3348
01:41:54,278 --> 01:41:54,612
maintenance that goes along

3349
01:41:54,612 --> 01:41:55,279
with it.

3350
01:41:55,279 --> 01:41:55,980
And so we invest all those

3351
01:41:55,980 --> 01:41:58,916
dollars back into the city's

3352
01:41:58,916 --> 01:41:59,750
assets.

3353
01:41:59,750 --> 01:42:00,451
This does not include the work

3354
01:42:00,451 --> 01:42:04,321
that we do at the Safari Park

3355
01:42:04,321 --> 01:42:05,220
in the conservation both

3356
01:42:05,220 --> 01:42:05,723
locally and our Southwest and

3357
01:42:05,723 --> 01:42:08,723
globally around the world that

3358
01:42:09,493 --> 01:42:10,261
we do for conservation.

3359
01:42:10,261 --> 01:42:10,961
The bottom line is we're asking

3360
01:42:10,961 --> 01:42:11,729
you to extend this partnership

3361
01:42:11,729 --> 01:42:15,266
and it truly is a partnership

3362
01:42:15,266 --> 01:42:15,933
of ourselves and the city and

3363
01:42:15,933 --> 01:42:18,933
we provide an economic and

3364
01:42:20,471 --> 01:42:21,138
community benefit to this

3365
01:42:21,138 --> 01:42:21,839
organization and this city.

3366
01:42:21,839 --> 01:42:24,239
Additionally, we provide that

3367
01:42:26,177 --> 01:42:26,778
economic benefit that goes

3368
01:42:26,778 --> 01:42:27,378
beyond just the doors of

3369
01:42:27,378 --> 01:42:30,681
the San Diego Zoo but to

3370
01:42:30,681 --> 01:42:31,449
the community that lives here.

3371
01:42:31,449 --> 01:42:32,121

3382
01:42:50,535 --> 01:42:51,236

underserved youth.

3411
01:43:38,783 --> 01:43:41,183
We serve 1000 wounded service

3412
01:43:42,921 --> 01:43:43,621
members and their families and

3413
01:43:43,621 --> 01:43:44,322
we have unique and educational

3414
01:43:44,322 --> 01:43:46,322
offerings for 400,000 members.

3415
01:43:48,460 --> 01:43:49,160
We are a living classroom that

3416
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,760
connects San Diego of all ages

3417
01:43:52,997 --> 01:43:53,765
to the natural world.

3418
01:43:53,765 --> 01:43:54,465
We have programs with hands on

3419
01:43:54,465 --> 01:43:56,865
opportunities for students and

3420
01:43:58,336 --> 01:43:59,103
the community at large.

3421
01:43:59,103 --> 01:43:59,671
In addition, we have active

3422
01:43:59,671 --> 01:44:00,371
conservation programs

3423
01:44:00,371 --> 01:44:02,371
protecting endangered species

3424
01:44:03,508 --> 01:44:04,275
at home.

3425
01:44:04,275 --> 01:44:04,642
These programs are in our own

3426
01:44:04,642 --> 01:44:05,276
backyard.

3427
01:44:05,276 --> 01:44:07,676
A few examples include

3428
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:09,314
California condors, desert

3429
01:44:09,314 --> 01:44:10,480
tortoise, mountain legged

3430
01:44:10,480 --> 01:44:13,480
yellow frog and burrowing owls.

3431
01:44:14,152 --> 01:44:14,853
And through our partnership

3432
01:44:14,853 --> 01:44:18,453
with the city we help support

3433
01:44:19,230 --> 01:44:19,657
San Diego becoming a bee city

3434
01:44:19,657 --> 01:44:20,325
to support pollinator work

3435
01:44:20,325 --> 01:44:20,859
which is important being an

3436
01:44:20,859 --> 01:44:22,859
agricultural state.

3437
01:44:24,763 --> 01:44:25,430
Our impact really extends

3438
01:44:25,430 --> 01:44:26,131
across the entire community.

3439
01:44:26,131 --> 01:44:29,167
And finally I'd like to close

3440
01:44:29,167 --> 01:44:32,767
and invite Adam Beck up to

3441
01:44:34,706 --> 01:44:35,374
the podium.

3442
01:44:35,374 --> 01:44:36,740
Thank you, council members.

3443
01:44:36,740 --> 01:44:39,674
In conclusion, we are proud to

3444
01:44:40,412 --> 01:44:40,945
be your trusted partner for

3445
01:44:40,945 --> 01:44:41,580
the last nine years.

3446
01:44:41,580 --> 01:44:41,979
We'd love to continue that

3447
01:44:41,979 --> 01:44:42,647
partnership.

3448
01:44:42,647 --> 01:44:43,348
We're proud of the work that

3449
01:44:43,348 --> 01:44:46,117
we've done and it's been done

3450
01:44:46,117 --> 01:44:46,718
by our volunteers and our

3451
01:44:46,718 --> 01:44:47,419
dedicated team members.

3452
01:44:47,419 --> 01:44:48,860
And working very closely with

3453
01:44:48,860 --> 01:44:51,390
the city of San Diego at all

3454
01:44:51,390 --> 01:44:52,157
levels.

3455
01:44:52,157 --> 01:44:52,857
We want to continue to reinvest

3456
01:44:52,857 --> 01:44:53,558
back into the infrastructure,

3457
01:44:53,558 --> 01:44:54,225
both the deferred maintenance

3458
01:44:54,225 --> 01:44:56,194
as well as new projects that

3459
01:44:56,194 --> 01:44:57,620
you've heard about.

3460
01:44:57,620 --> 01:44:57,629
And we want to continue to make

3461
01:44:57,629 --> 01:44:59,629
resources available to

3462
01:45:01,433 --> 01:45:01,967
the broader community on a free

3463
01:45:01,967 --> 01:45:02,667
or discounted basis.

3464
01:45:02,667 --> 01:45:03,368
With that we are available to

3465
01:45:03,368 --> 01:45:06,368
answer any questions and again

3466
01:45:07,606 --> 01:45:08,140
I hope to earn your positive

3467
01:45:08,140 --> 01:45:08,806
vote on this action.

3468
01:45:08,806 --> 01:45:09,374
It's critically important to

3469
01:45:09,374 --> 01:45:09,741
the future of the zoo.

3470
01:45:09,741 --> 01:45:11,741
Thank you.

3471
01:45:12,210 --> 01:45:12,878
All right.

3472
01:45:12,878 --> 01:45:13,311
Thank you for the combined

3473
01:45:13,311 --> 01:45:13,879
presentation.

3474
01:45:13,879 --> 01:45:14,580
We'll turn it over to

3475
01:45:14,580 --> 01:45:15,460
the Office of the Independent

3476
01:45:15,460 --> 01:45:15,413
Budget Analyst.

3477
01:45:15,413 --> 01:45:17,413
Thank you.

3478
01:45:17,916 --> 01:45:18,683
Council PRESIDENT.

3479
01:45:18,683 --> 01:45:19,384
On Friday our office released a

3480
01:45:19,384 --> 01:45:21,784
report 20 6-07 which contains

3481
01:45:24,690 --> 01:45:25,423
an analysis of the proposed

3482
01:45:25,423 --> 01:45:25,991
amended lease agreement between

3483
01:45:25,991 --> 01:45:26,691
the city and the zoo.

3484
01:45:26,691 --> 01:45:28,693
For anyone who wisely decided

3485
01:45:28,693 --> 01:45:29,327
not to spend the weekend

3486
01:45:29,327 --> 01:45:29,928
reading that report, I'll

3487
01:45:29,928 --> 01:45:30,595
provide a brief summary.

3488
01:45:30,595 --> 01:45:31,229
Conservatively, we estimate

3489
01:45:31,229 --> 01:45:33,629
the lease extension could

3490
01:45:34,733 --> 01:45:36,733
generate 347.6 million in

3491
01:45:38,503 --> 01:45:39,171
nominal or face value but using

3492
01:45:39,171 --> 01:45:42,171
a 4.5% discount rate the net

3493
01:45:42,407 --> 01:45:43,241
present value would be closer

3494
01:45:43,241 --> 01:45:43,909
to 98.5 million for the entire

3495
01:45:43,909 --> 01:45:44,643
52 year length of the lease.

3496
01:45:44,643 --> 01:45:47,643
This equates to an average

3497
01:45:49,548 --> 01:45:50,115
annual revenue of 1.9 million

3498
01:45:50,115 --> 01:45:50,849
in net present value.

3499
01:45:50,849 --> 01:45:53,849
These amounts could decrease of

3500
01:45:54,119 --> 01:45:54,853
the city pares back its part in

3501
01:45:54,853 --> 01:45:55,454
the program in the ballpark but

3502
01:45:55,454 --> 01:45:56,154
these amounts could also

3503
01:45:56,154 --> 01:45:56,788
increase if the zoo generates

3504
01:45:56,788 --> 01:45:59,188
gross revenue higher than

3505
01:45:59,524 --> 01:46:00,225
the minimum payment amount.

3506
01:46:00,225 --> 01:46:00,559
Council ultimately has three

3507
01:46:00,559 --> 01:46:02,559
choices.

3508
01:46:05,397 --> 01:46:06,164
One approve the proposed lease

3509
01:46:06,164 --> 01:46:06,899
as negotiated at this time to

3510
01:46:06,899 --> 01:46:07,532
request the item be returned to

3511
01:46:07,532 --> 01:46:09,932
staff to further negotiate

3512
01:46:10,936 --> 01:46:11,637
terms and conditions that could

3513
01:46:11,637 --> 01:46:12,370
be represented to council at a

3514
01:46:12,370 --> 01:46:12,705
future date.

3515
01:46:12,705 --> 01:46:13,372
Or three reject the proposed

3516
01:46:13,372 --> 01:46:15,772
lease extension and request

3517
01:46:16,909 --> 01:46:17,643
staff Negotiate a new lease

3518
01:46:17,643 --> 01:46:18,343
amendment closer to the current

3519
01:46:18,343 --> 01:46:20,743
lease expiration date in 2034.

3520
01:46:22,581 --> 01:46:23,282
As Council considers this lease

3521
01:46:23,282 --> 01:46:23,982
proposal you MAY wish to waive

3522
01:46:23,982 --> 01:46:24,550
short term and long term costs

3523
01:46:24,550 --> 01:46:26,919
in benefits related to

3524
01:46:26,919 --> 01:46:27,585
the terms of the lease.

3525
01:46:27,585 --> 01:46:28,320
For example, one team

3526
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:31,320
structured only on paid parking

3527
01:46:32,892 --> 01:46:33,525
related activity over 52 year

3528
01:46:33,525 --> 01:46:34,126
period will be subject to

3529
01:46:34,126 --> 01:46:34,826
fluctuations in parking

3530
01:46:34,826 --> 01:46:37,826
policies And although the park

3531
01:46:38,664 --> 01:46:39,431
evolve over time.

3532
01:46:39,431 --> 01:46:40,650
Council MAY wish to consider

3533
01:46:40,650 --> 01:46:40,766
alternative or additional

3534
01:46:40,766 --> 01:46:43,166
payment economic options such

3535
01:46:44,603 --> 01:46:45,304
as the percentage or dollar

3536
01:46:45,304 --> 01:46:45,971
amount of tickets, membership

3537
01:46:45,971 --> 01:46:48,971
concessions and sales and or

3538
01:46:49,741 --> 01:46:50,442
gross rent from Subleases While

3539
01:46:50,442 --> 01:46:51,760
the lease provides for review

3540
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:51,743
of payment terms every ten

3541
01:46:51,743 --> 01:46:54,743
years to account for current

3542
01:46:55,380 --> 01:46:55,881
economic conditions as required

3543
01:46:55,881 --> 01:46:56,548
by state law.

3544
01:46:56,548 --> 01:46:57,182
The lease assignment on what

3545
01:46:57,182 --> 01:46:57,883
terms will be reviewed and

3546
01:46:57,883 --> 01:47:00,883
adjusted or how disputes over

3547
01:47:00,886 --> 01:47:01,320
adjustments will be mediated

3548
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:02,200
and resolved.

3549
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:02,588
The zoo like planned location

3550
01:47:02,588 --> 01:47:04,988
for future zoo exhibit

3551
01:47:07,826 --> 01:47:08,527
expansion which also entails

3552
01:47:08,527 --> 01:47:09,194
the undergrounding of existing

3553
01:47:09,194 --> 01:47:12,164
off the leases silent on how

3554
01:47:12,164 --> 01:47:12,898
temporary or ongoing changes to

3555
01:47:12,898 --> 01:47:13,532
the amount of onsite or offsite

3556
01:47:13,532 --> 01:47:14,133
parking will be resolved.

3557
01:47:14,133 --> 01:47:16,533
While the proposed lease

3558
01:47:18,103 --> 01:47:18,704
amendment only applies to

3559
01:47:18,704 --> 01:47:19,305
the zoo property that is

3560
01:47:19,305 --> 01:47:19,972
current lease of the zoo

3561
01:47:19,972 --> 01:47:22,972
property in Balboa Park and

3562
01:47:23,642 --> 01:47:24,376
the Safari Park property in

3563
01:47:24,376 --> 01:47:25,110
the same passable valley have a

3564
01:47:25,110 --> 01:47:25,477
concurrent lease term and

3565
01:47:25,477 --> 01:47:27,477
expiration date.

3566
01:47:29,248 --> 01:47:29,882
Council MAY wish to consider

3567
01:47:29,882 --> 01:47:30,482
the benefits and risks of

3568
01:47:30,482 --> 01:47:31,500
negotiating these leases

3569
01:47:31,500 --> 01:47:31,684
separately instead of

3570
01:47:31,684 --> 01:47:34,840
concurrently as a package.

3571
01:47:35,321 --> 01:47:36,188
And finally the fy 26 budget

3572
01:47:36,188 --> 01:47:39,188
and fy 27 to 31 five year

3573
01:47:39,491 --> 01:47:40,125
outlook assume $3 million in

3574
01:47:40,125 --> 01:47:40,760
revenue from zoo parking.

3575
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:41,393
Returning this proposal to

3576
01:47:41,393 --> 01:47:43,793
staff or requesting staff

3577
01:47:44,864 --> 01:47:45,531
negotiate a new lease amendment

3578
01:47:45,531 --> 01:47:46,231
closer to the current lease

3579
01:47:46,231 --> 01:47:46,932
expiration date in 2034 would

3580
01:47:46,932 --> 01:47:50,235
add to the current fiscal year

3581
01:47:50,235 --> 01:47:50,903
projected shortfall potentially

3582
01:47:50,903 --> 01:47:51,504
requiring use of the general

3583
01:47:51,504 --> 01:47:52,237
Fund reserve and add to

3584
01:47:52,237 --> 01:47:55,237
the projected budget deficit in

3585
01:47:57,420 --> 01:47:57,710
the next future fiscal year.

3586
01:47:57,710 --> 01:47:58,444
Thank you very much for

3587
01:47:58,444 --> 01:47:59,112
attention and I'll be available

3588
01:47:59,112 --> 01:47:59,645
to answer questions you MAY

3589
01:47:59,645 --> 01:48:01,648
have for our office.

3590
01:48:01,648 --> 01:48:02,414
All right.

3591
01:48:02,414 --> 01:48:02,948
Thank you for your and your

3592
01:48:02,948 --> 01:48:03,382
officers analysis of

3593
01:48:03,382 --> 01:48:05,382
the proposal.

3594
01:48:08,454 --> 01:48:09,121
So with that Claude, please

3595
01:48:09,121 --> 01:48:09,555
proceed with public comment.

3596
01:48:09,555 --> 01:48:10,223
>> Thank you.

3597
01:48:10,223 --> 01:48:10,923
Council PRESIDENT We do have

3598
01:48:10,923 --> 01:48:13,492

Wildlife Alliance.

3619
01:48:55,468 --> 01:48:58,468
I'm a San Diego native.

3620
01:49:00,390 --> 01:49:00,373
I went to Torrey Pines High

3621
01:49:00,373 --> 01:49:01,730
School.

3622
01:49:01,730 --> 01:49:01,507
After that I went to the U.S.

3623
01:49:01,507 --> 01:49:02,375
Naval Academy.

3624
01:49:02,375 --> 01:49:06,515
I did four tours here in San

3625
01:49:06,515 --> 01:49:07,280

3626
01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:08,470

3627
01:49:08,470 --> 01:49:11,470

the mortgage.

3629
01:49:12,952 --> 01:49:13,286
I choose to spend my time with

3630
01:49:13,286 --> 01:49:13,653
the zoo.

3631
01:49:13,653 --> 01:49:15,653
I do that.

3632
01:49:18,191 --> 01:49:18,925
I spend almost 1500 hours with

3633
01:49:18,925 --> 01:49:19,759
them Last year both at the zoo,

3634
01:49:19,759 --> 01:49:23,329
at the Safari Park and in our

3635
01:49:23,329 --> 01:49:24,300
conservation science building

3636
01:49:24,300 --> 01:49:24,797
where we're pulling dna out of

3637
01:49:24,797 --> 01:49:27,797
Torrey Pines samples and doing

3638
01:49:30,403 --> 01:49:31,700

3639
01:49:31,700 --> 01:49:34,700

3647
01:49:48,688 --> 01:49:49,550
States but literally around

01:49:49,550 --> 01:49:51,550
the world.

3649
01:49:52,926 --> 01:49:53,226
Thank you so much for listening

3650
01:49:53,226 --> 01:49:53,693

Jennifer.

3653
01:49:59,566 --> 01:50:00,500
Hi there.

3654
01:50:00,500 --> 01:50:04,700
My name is Jennifer Roy and I'm

3655
01:50:05,872 --> 01:50:06,706
a resident of District two.

3656
01:50:06,706 --> 01:50:07,407
>> I am a longtime member of

3657
01:50:07,407 --> 01:50:10,407
and more recently a volunteer

3658
01:50:12,450 --> 01:50:12,745
for the San Diego Zoo and

3659
01:50:12,745 --> 01:50:13,280
the Safari Park where I get to

3660
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:13,947
experience firsthand

3661
01:50:13,947 --> 01:50:16,947
the positive impact of this

3662
01:50:17,684 --> 01:50:18,551
special place.

3663
01:50:18,551 --> 01:50:19,319
It inspires people of all ages

3664
01:50:19,319 --> 01:50:23,519
to see and think about a world

3665
01:50:24,524 --> 01:50:25,191
bigger than themselves.

3666
01:50:25,191 --> 01:50:25,658
People come here because our

3667
01:50:25,658 --> 01:50:27,658
zoo is awesome.

3668
01:50:29,562 --> 01:50:30,130
I hear it over and over both in

3669
01:50:30,130 --> 01:50:30,497
the park and while I'm

3670
01:50:30,497 --> 01:50:31,197
traveling.

3671
01:50:31,197 --> 01:50:31,831
Our entire city benefits from

3672
01:50:31,831 --> 01:50:34,231
the vision, foresight and

3673
01:50:36,690 --> 01:50:36,503
proper planning of this

3674
01:50:36,503 --> 01:50:37,437
organization.

3675
01:50:37,437 --> 01:50:41,241
But we don't get to rest on our

3676
01:50:41,241 --> 01:50:41,975
laurels as 400 will allow us

3677
01:50:41,975 --> 01:50:42,308
the ability to continue setting

3678
01:50:42,308 --> 01:50:42,675
the bar.

3679
01:50:42,675 --> 01:50:44,675
Thank you.

3680
01:50:46,179 --> 01:50:46,713
Thank you.

3681
01:50:46,713 --> 01:50:47,414
Next is Craig.

3682
01:50:47,414 --> 01:50:49,814

01:50:53,486 --> 01:50:54,187
the opportunity to speak and

3685
01:50:54,187 --> 01:50:57,187
share my support for this 400.

3686
01:50:58,258 --> 01:50:58,959
As a volunteer at the zoo for

3687
01:50:58,959 --> 01:50:59,726
four years I'm grateful that I

3688
01:50:59,726 --> 01:51:02,726
have the opportunity to witness

3689
01:51:04,431 --> 01:51:04,965
firsthand how dedicated

3690
01:51:04,965 --> 01:51:07,965
the staff is out to

3691
01:51:09,502 --> 01:51:10,236
the Wildlife Care and Safety

3692
01:51:10,236 --> 01:51:12,636
and education afforded benefits

3693
01:51:16,209 --> 01:51:16,576
conservation and the San Diego

3694
01:51:16,576 --> 01:51:17,310
community.

3695
01:51:17,310 --> 01:51:17,711
Our conservation programs exist

3696
01:51:17,711 --> 01:51:19,711
for decades.

3697
01:51:21,949 --> 01:51:22,582
Our zoo is helping save species

3698
01:51:22,582 --> 01:51:25,582
here and around the world.

3699
01:51:28,622 --> 01:51:28,955

education programs.

3705
01:51:40,901 --> 01:51:41,601
The importance of successful

3706
01:51:41,601 --> 01:51:45,201
passing of s-400 ensures I can

3707
01:51:46,673 --> 01:51:47,274
continue our conservation and

3708
01:51:47,274 --> 01:51:47,941
allowing for much needed

3709
01:51:47,941 --> 01:51:48,475
planning required by welfare

3710
01:51:48,475 --> 01:51:48,909

3711
01:51:48,909 --> 01:51:50,544

>> Hello City Council members.

3715
01:52:02,690 --> 01:52:03,390
My name is Kelly Madden and I'm

3716
01:52:03,390 --> 01:52:03,757
here representing the zoo as a

3717
01:52:03,757 --> 01:52:05,757
volunteer.

3718
01:52:08,562 --> 01:52:09,296
Our world famous San Diego Zoo

3719
01:52:09,296 --> 01:52:09,997
is not just an attraction.

3720
01:52:09,997 --> 01:52:13,597
It's the heartbeat of our city

3721
01:52:15,402 --> 01:52:16,690
and our economy and our pride.

3722
01:52:16,690 --> 01:52:19,690
Currently San Diego Zoo is

3723
01:52:21,441 --> 01:52:22,420
saving endangered species from

3724
01:52:22,420 --> 01:52:22,609
all over the world and

3725
01:52:22,609 --> 01:52:23,310
educating generations.

3726
01:52:23,310 --> 01:52:26,910
As witnessed by myself when I

3727
01:52:27,214 --> 01:52:27,848
was a little child and I'm

3728
01:52:27,848 --> 01:52:28,515
still volunteering there.

3729
01:52:28,515 --> 01:52:29,182
This work inspires hope and

3730
01:52:29,182 --> 01:52:32,782
puts San Diego on the world

3731
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:33,954

3758
01:53:31,111 --> 01:53:31,946
This role has greatly enriched

3759
01:53:31,946 --> 01:53:32,613
my life and I've seen firsthand

3760
01:53:32,613 --> 01:53:33,180
how this youth commitment to

3761
01:53:33,180 --> 01:53:35,180
our community enriches

3762
01:53:36,984 --> 01:53:37,317
the lives of both children and

3763
01:53:37,317 --> 01:53:37,952
adults.

3764
01:53:37,952 --> 01:53:40,952
Programs such as Kids Free

3768
01:53:48,495 --> 01:53:49,230
make a meaningful difference

3769
01:53:49,230 --> 01:53:49,964
for families across our region.

3770
01:53:49,964 --> 01:53:52,964
I've been bringing my children,

3771
01:53:55,503 --> 01:53:56,170
my grandchildren and now my

3772
01:53:56,170 --> 01:53:56,770
great grandchildren here for

3773
01:53:56,770 --> 01:53:59,170
more than five decades.

3774
01:54:00,841 --> 01:54:01,542
I truly can't imagine San Diego

3775
01:54:01,542 --> 01:54:01,977
without our world class famous

3776
01:54:01,977 --> 01:54:03,977

3788
01:54:26,233 --> 01:54:26,901
important education is to us

3789
01:54:26,901 --> 01:54:30,501
having a viable future as we

3790
01:54:31,939 --> 01:54:32,606
say where all lives thrive.

3791
01:54:32,606 --> 01:54:33,307
So in addition to all

3792
01:54:33,307 --> 01:54:36,777
the benefit the zoo brings to

3793
01:54:36,777 --> 01:54:37,478
the economy, I believe one of

3794
01:54:37,478 --> 01:54:38,112
its most important missions is

3795
01:54:38,112 --> 01:54:38,746
educating generations and

3796
01:54:38,746 --> 01:54:41,146
generations from all over

3797
01:54:43,384 --> 01:54:44,180
the world about well, animal

3798
01:54:44,180 --> 01:54:44,652
welfare and in particular

3799
01:54:44,652 --> 01:54:47,652
the very thin fragile line

3800
01:54:49,900 --> 01:54:49,490
between extinction and

3801
01:54:49,490 --> 01:54:50,258
endangered.

3802
01:54:50,258 --> 01:54:51,158
So I really hope that you will

3803
01:54:51,158 --> 01:54:54,158
support s 400 today and keep

3804
01:54:54,297 --> 01:54:54,662
this important mission going.

3805
01:54:54,662 --> 01:54:55,229
Thank you.

3806
01:54:55,229 --> 01:54:57,229
Thank you, Beverly.

3807
01:55:00,968 --> 01:55:03,368
Good afternoon council members

3808
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:07,708
and I live in Rolando so my

3809
01:55:07,708 --> 01:55:08,442
council member is right here.

3810
01:55:08,442 --> 01:55:11,442
I hope you will seriously

3811
01:55:13,548 --> 01:55:13,848
consider s-400 today and agree

3812
01:55:13,848 --> 01:55:14,549
to it.

3813
01:55:14,549 --> 01:55:17,549
Long term planning is so

3814
01:55:19,253 --> 01:55:19,654
important for an organization

3815
01:55:19,654 --> 01:55:20,288
like this.

3816
01:55:20,288 --> 01:55:22,688
Our work with endangered

3817
01:55:25,590 --> 01:55:25,794
species like the Kino Check a

3818
01:55:25,794 --> 01:55:26,527
moth butterfly that we put back

3819
01:55:26,527 --> 01:55:29,527
into the environment here in

3820
01:55:31,332 --> 01:55:32,166
the county.

3821
01:55:32,166 --> 01:55:32,800
Those kinds of scientific works

3822
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,200
take enormous planning and

3823
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:38,439
there has to be time for that

3824
01:55:38,439 --> 01:55:39,400
planning.

3825
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:39,607
So an extended lease is

3826
01:55:39,607 --> 01:55:41,607
critically important.

3827
01:55:43,511 --> 01:55:44,790
We can all talk about what

3828
01:55:44,790 --> 01:55:44,779
the zoo does for kids.

3829
01:55:44,779 --> 01:55:45,800
It's amazing and you all know

3830
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:47,480
that.

3831
01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:50,480
Thank you for your time.

3832
01:55:53,922 --> 01:55:54,422
>> Rodolfo.

3833
01:55:54,422 --> 01:55:55,156
Hi, COUNCILMAN.

3834
01:55:55,156 --> 01:55:55,590
Thank you for having me Here.

3835
01:55:55,590 --> 01:55:57,590
Let me speak.

3836
01:55:59,627 --> 01:56:00,428
I want to say that I hope you

3837
01:56:00,428 --> 01:56:00,929
will support s 400 because it's

3838
01:56:00,929 --> 01:56:01,496
really important.

3839
01:56:01,496 --> 01:56:04,496
One of the things that

3840
01:56:05,767 --> 01:56:06,434
experience that really is

3841
01:56:06,434 --> 01:56:07,101
heartwarming to me is seeing

3842
01:56:07,101 --> 01:56:10,701
kids come to the school and

3843
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:12,740
talk about the experience of

3844
01:56:12,740 --> 01:56:13,408
being all excited.

3845
01:56:13,408 --> 01:56:14,142
There's these kids that get

3846
01:56:14,142 --> 01:56:17,742
support by the programs that we

3847
01:56:17,779 --> 01:56:18,513
offered them and some of them

3848
01:56:18,513 --> 01:56:19,347
come from Calexico in that area

3849
01:56:19,347 --> 01:56:23,547
and on the Free Kids in October

3850
01:56:24,619 --> 01:56:25,320
and they get up at 4:00 to go

3851
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,920
to the meeting place and then

3852
01:56:29,457 --> 01:56:30,158
they leave at 430 and they

3853
01:56:30,158 --> 01:56:30,859
arrive at the zoo and oh my

3854
01:56:30,859 --> 01:56:31,559
GOD, they're so excited about

3855
01:56:31,559 --> 01:56:34,696
being able to see the animals

3856
01:56:34,696 --> 01:56:35,363
there and to see their their

3857
01:56:35,363 --> 01:56:36,650
energy and their happiness.

3858
01:56:36,650 --> 01:56:39,665
These are the young minds that

3859
01:56:40,969 --> 01:56:41,736
we are forming to help preserve

3860
01:56:41,736 --> 01:56:42,370
and the conservation of all

3861
01:56:42,370 --> 01:56:43,400
the animals in the future.

3862
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:43,338
So you're supporting this

3863
01:56:43,338 --> 01:56:45,338
program.

3864
01:56:47,750 --> 01:56:47,642
Your support in the 400 is

3865
01:56:47,642 --> 01:56:48,900
really meaningful and

3866
01:56:48,900 --> 01:56:48,376
important.

3867
01:56:48,376 --> 01:56:50,376
Thank you.

3868
01:56:53,381 --> 01:56:54,480
Next is it for your final

3869
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:56,448
speaker here in council

3870
01:56:58,286 --> 01:56:58,787
chambers?

3871
01:56:58,787 --> 01:56:59,520
Please proceed.

3872
01:56:59,520 --> 01:56:59,821
Thank you so much for your

3873
01:56:59,821 --> 01:57:00,555
time.

3874
01:57:00,555 --> 01:57:04,755
My wife and I both have been

3875
01:57:04,993 --> 01:57:05,660
coming to the zoo for over 60

3876
01:57:05,660 --> 01:57:06,261
years and we've seen so many

3877
01:57:06,261 --> 01:57:08,661
changes It's really gone

3878
01:57:10,331 --> 01:57:11,660
forward in and conservation and

3879
01:57:11,660 --> 01:57:14,660
building for this community And

3880
01:57:16,938 --> 01:57:17,572
I just can't imagine this

3881
01:57:17,572 --> 01:57:18,206
community without the zoo.

3882
01:57:18,206 --> 01:57:18,607
So I strongly support this

3883
01:57:18,607 --> 01:57:20,607
resolution.

3884
01:57:23,411 --> 01:57:24,790
Thank you.

3885
01:57:24,790 --> 01:57:24,780
>> Thank you very much.

3886
01:57:24,780 --> 01:57:25,314
I'm sorry The five minute time

3887
01:57:25,314 --> 01:57:25,914
we're going to those

3888
01:57:25,914 --> 01:57:27,549
participating remotely.

3889
01:57:27,549 --> 01:57:28,116
We currently have eight people

3890
01:57:28,116 --> 01:57:28,683
with our hands raised.

3891
01:57:28,683 --> 01:57:29,451
If we can start with

3892
01:57:29,451 --> 01:57:32,754
The Gambler if you can please

3893
01:57:32,754 --> 01:57:33,355
unmute.

3894
01:57:33,355 --> 01:57:33,822
You'll have one minute.

3895
01:57:33,822 --> 01:57:34,389
Please proceed.

3896
01:57:34,389 --> 01:57:36,789
I can't hear you.

3897
01:57:39,461 --> 01:57:39,828
So let me go ahead and get this

3898
01:57:39,828 --> 01:57:41,828
straight.

3899
01:57:44,366 --> 01:57:44,800
>> The contract is good until

3900
01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:45,501
the 32.

3901
01:57:45,501 --> 01:57:48,501
So what are you threatening

3902
01:57:50,839 --> 01:57:51,540
them of Removing it If you

3903
01:57:51,540 --> 01:57:52,700
don't don't force them to make

3904
01:57:52,700 --> 01:57:52,641
it pay parking.

3905
01:57:52,641 --> 01:57:55,641
That part I don't really

3906
01:57:57,479 --> 01:57:58,213
understand.

3907
01:57:58,213 --> 01:57:58,947
There is no risk of the San

3908
01:57:58,947 --> 01:57:59,347
Diego Zoo getting moved out and

3909
01:57:59,347 --> 01:58:01,347
let's leave.

3910
01:58:03,552 --> 01:58:04,286
City council members are that

3911
01:58:04,286 --> 01:58:04,886
much of a joke which I believe

3912
01:58:04,886 --> 01:58:07,286
that they truly are.

3913
01:58:08,657 --> 01:58:09,391
Now I understand it because you

3914
01:58:09,391 --> 01:58:12,391
guys don't really belong there.

3915
01:58:14,997 --> 01:58:15,330
The elections we have 40

3916
01:58:15,330 --> 01:58:15,998
leaders.

3917
01:58:15,998 --> 01:58:18,998
I'm suspecting that this is

3918
01:58:20,969 --> 01:58:21,737
going to be changing soon.

3919
01:58:21,737 --> 01:58:22,471
I'm going I'm trying to work

3920
01:58:22,471 --> 01:58:26,341
with Orange County to go in and

3921
01:58:26,341 --> 01:58:27,900
fix elections if I can convince

3922
01:58:27,900 --> 01:58:27,376
them to go ahead and rebuild

3923
01:58:27,376 --> 01:58:28,430
the data.

3924
01:58:28,430 --> 01:58:31,643
Then we don't have to really

3925
01:58:32,447 --> 01:58:33,148
worry about bad leaders like we

3926
01:58:33,148 --> 01:58:37,286
have in the city of San Diego.

3927
01:58:37,286 --> 01:58:37,986
And I just hope that we don't

3928
01:58:37,986 --> 01:58:38,287
postpone this until after this

3929
01:58:38,287 --> 01:58:40,287
year.

3930
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:45,261
See what happens By the time

3931
01:58:45,261 --> 01:58:48,861
you heard John Stump, if you

3932
01:58:48,931 --> 01:58:49,598
can please unmute.

3933
01:58:49,598 --> 01:58:50,465
>> Thank you very much.

3934
01:58:50,465 --> 01:58:53,465
I'm urging you to take

3935
01:58:55,838 --> 01:58:56,505
recommendation number two from

3936
01:58:56,505 --> 01:58:57,105
the debate which is to send

3937
01:58:57,105 --> 01:58:59,505
this back to committee.

3938
01:59:01,844 --> 01:59:02,511
It's interesting what

3939
01:59:02,511 --> 01:59:02,811
the leadership doesn't talk

3940
01:59:02,811 --> 01:59:03,512
about.

3941
01:59:03,512 --> 01:59:06,512
They don't talk about whether

3942
01:59:08,383 --> 01:59:09,510
these are Sandy city of San

3943
01:59:09,510 --> 01:59:12,510
Diego employees or are they

3944
01:59:14,823 --> 01:59:15,524
regional San Diego employees.

3945
01:59:15,524 --> 01:59:16,910
They don't talk about the long

3946
01:59:16,910 --> 01:59:16,825
form infection that's

3947
01:59:16,825 --> 01:59:19,225
threatening all the agriculture

3948
01:59:21,330 --> 01:59:21,797
and health in San Diego in

3949
01:59:21,797 --> 01:59:22,497
the region now.

3950
01:59:22,497 --> 01:59:26,970
They don't talk about the fact

3951
01:59:26,735 --> 01:59:27,690
that this deals with $2 billion

3952
01:59:27,690 --> 01:59:29,690
to them.

3953
01:59:32,241 --> 01:59:32,942
And I urge you to read by two

3954
01:59:32,942 --> 01:59:33,509
memos Don't pass this now Send

3955
01:59:33,509 --> 01:59:35,909
it back to committee.

3956
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:38,647
We have eight years before it's

3957
01:59:38,647 --> 01:59:39,114
necessary.

3958
01:59:39,114 --> 01:59:41,114
Thank you both.

3959
01:59:52,904 --> 01:59:53,333
And in the future what where is

3960
01:59:53,333 --> 01:59:53,590
the utilization data on

3961
01:59:53,590 --> 01:59:53,863
the employees the zoo?

3962
01:59:53,863 --> 01:59:54,103
Are they San Diego City of San

3963
01:59:54,103 --> 01:59:54,267
Diego And what you're trying to

3964
01:59:54,267 --> 01:59:56,267
do?

3965
01:59:57,199 --> 01:59:57,866
Next to shame.

3966
01:59:57,866 --> 01:59:58,200
Harris, if you can please

3967
01:59:58,200 --> 01:59:58,868
unmute.

3968
01:59:58,868 --> 02:00:02,238
After that it was all done.

3969
02:00:02,238 --> 02:00:02,605
Shame on you.

3970
02:00:02,605 --> 02:00:03,205
>> Yes.

3971
02:00:03,205 --> 02:00:03,472
Can you hear me?

3972
02:00:03,472 --> 02:00:03,973
Yes.

3973
02:00:03,973 --> 02:00:05,973
Please proceed.

3974
02:00:08,277 --> 02:00:09,110
Good afternoon Council.

3975
02:00:09,110 --> 02:00:09,745
My name is Shane Harris and I'm

3976
02:00:09,745 --> 02:00:10,412
today here today as a public as

3977
02:00:10,412 --> 02:00:12,812
a public advocate for

3978
02:00:14,850 --> 02:00:15,584
the residents of San Diego.

3979
02:00:15,584 --> 02:00:16,218
I want to be clear at

3980
02:00:16,218 --> 02:00:16,919
the outset I'm not here to

3981
02:00:16,919 --> 02:00:20,890
argue for or against The city

3982
02:00:20,890 --> 02:00:20,756
will do this amendment.

3983
02:00:20,756 --> 02:00:21,423
The zoo is a treasured

3984
02:00:21,423 --> 02:00:22,157
institution in our city and

3985
02:00:22,157 --> 02:00:22,425
something many of us take pride

3986
02:00:22,425 --> 02:00:24,425
in.

3987
02:00:26,162 --> 02:00:26,829
My purpose today is to simply

3988
02:00:26,829 --> 02:00:27,430
raise a few concerns that I

3989
02:00:27,430 --> 02:00:29,430
believe deserve careful

3990
02:00:31,300 --> 02:00:32,340
consideration.

3991
02:00:32,340 --> 02:00:32,768
First, this proposal represents

3992
02:00:32,768 --> 02:00:36,968
a very long term extension of a

3993
02:00:37,940 --> 02:00:38,674
public asset located on one of

3994
02:00:38,674 --> 02:00:39,750
the most important public parks

3995
02:00:39,750 --> 02:00:39,775
in our city.

3996
02:00:39,775 --> 02:00:40,376
When we enter into agreements,

3997
02:00:40,376 --> 02:00:42,945
the length and scale of

3998
02:00:42,945 --> 02:00:43,613
the public deserves confidence

3999
02:00:43,613 --> 02:00:44,280
that the terms fully reflect

4000
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:44,981
the value of that asset and

4001
02:00:44,981 --> 02:00:48,581
the long term interests of San

4002
02:00:49,285 --> 02:00:49,952
Diego taxpayers.

4003
02:00:49,952 --> 02:00:50,653
Second, there are legitimate

4004
02:00:50,653 --> 02:00:51,320
questions about the financial

4005
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:51,887
structure of the agreement.

4006
02:00:51,887 --> 02:00:54,887
The zoo is a globally

4007
02:00:55,524 --> 02:00:56,125
recognized organization with

4008
02:00:56,125 --> 02:00:56,492
significant revenue and

4009
02:00:56,492 --> 02:00:57,193
resources.

4010
02:00:57,193 --> 02:01:00,696
At the same time, the city of

4011
02:01:00,696 --> 02:01:01,197
San Diego is facing serious

4012
02:01:01,197 --> 02:01:01,898
budget challenges.

4013
02:01:01,898 --> 02:01:02,532
It's reasonable for the public

4014
02:01:02,532 --> 02:01:06,132
to ask whether the city is

4015
02:01:08,504 --> 02:01:09,720
receiving a fair value and

4016
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:09,672
whether the additional

4017
02:01:09,672 --> 02:01:10,600
opportunities exist for

4018
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:10,573
the zoo.

4019
02:01:10,573 --> 02:01:10,940
>> Time has concluded.

4020
02:01:10,940 --> 02:01:12,940
Thank you.

4021
02:01:13,910 --> 02:01:14,210
Mary Saldana if you can please

4022
02:01:14,210 --> 02:01:14,844
.

4023
02:01:14,844 --> 02:01:15,111
I mean after that 8700.

4024
02:01:15,111 --> 02:01:17,111
Yes.

4025
02:01:20,683 --> 02:01:21,350
Thank you for in San Diego I

4026
02:01:21,350 --> 02:01:21,985
visited the zoo also with my

4027
02:01:21,985 --> 02:01:22,585
family and as an assembly

4028
02:01:22,585 --> 02:01:24,985
member I visited behind

4029
02:01:25,210 --> 02:01:25,521
the scenes and learn more about

4030
02:01:25,521 --> 02:01:26,189
their operations.

4031
02:01:26,189 --> 02:01:26,756
I admire how they support

4032
02:01:26,756 --> 02:01:27,389
animals in their care,

4033
02:01:27,389 --> 02:01:29,389
especially endangered and

4034
02:01:31,627 --> 02:01:32,328
threatened species.

4035
02:01:32,328 --> 02:01:32,995
But this important discussion

4036
02:01:32,995 --> 02:01:33,596
needs to be more thoroughly

4037
02:01:33,596 --> 02:01:34,163
reviewed by the Economic

4038
02:01:34,163 --> 02:01:36,163
Development Committee.

4039
02:01:37,700 --> 02:01:38,367
This is an economic discussion.

4040
02:01:38,367 --> 02:01:39,350
Thanks to all the volunteers

4041
02:01:39,350 --> 02:01:42,350
who showed up and testified.

4042
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:44,607
But the economic value of this

4043
02:01:44,607 --> 02:01:45,274
is what's at stake and I am

4044
02:01:45,274 --> 02:01:45,942
concerned that they have not

4045
02:01:45,942 --> 02:01:48,342
installed solar panels over

4046
02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:49,679
every square inch of their

4047
02:01:49,679 --> 02:01:50,413
massive parking lot in my

4048
02:01:50,413 --> 02:01:53,413
lifetime Even as the university

4049
02:01:54,650 --> 02:01:55,418
schools and community colleges

4050
02:01:55,418 --> 02:01:55,918
in San Diego have done over

4051
02:01:55,918 --> 02:01:56,620
the last 20 years.

4052
02:01:56,620 --> 02:01:57,253
I encourage the Climate Action

4053
02:01:57,253 --> 02:02:00,253
Plan to estimate how much

4054
02:02:01,257 --> 02:02:01,791
electricity would be generated

4055
02:02:01,791 --> 02:02:02,258
by putting panels on

4056
02:02:02,258 --> 02:02:02,925
the parking lot.

4057
02:02:02,925 --> 02:02:07,125
And I'd like to know what is

4058
02:02:08,131 --> 02:02:08,798
their annual energy bill.

4059
02:02:08,798 --> 02:02:09,399
And were their operations

4060
02:02:09,399 --> 02:02:09,933
included into the city's

4061
02:02:09,933 --> 02:02:10,533
climate action plan?

4062
02:02:10,533 --> 02:02:12,933
The original lease takes

4063
02:02:13,303 --> 02:02:14,103
the book to the society shall

4064
02:02:14,103 --> 02:02:14,604
be open to the city by APRIL

4065
02:02:14,604 --> 02:02:15,306
1st of each year.

4066
02:02:15,306 --> 02:02:18,875
I look forward to seeing your

4067
02:02:18,875 --> 02:02:19,542
utility bills on APRIL first.

4068
02:02:19,542 --> 02:02:20,243
>> Thank you for that

4069
02:02:20,243 --> 02:02:22,643
concluding comment 8700 If you

4070
02:02:24,581 --> 02:02:25,315
can please unmute Star six.

4071
02:02:25,315 --> 02:02:25,748
>> That also includes a five

4072
02:02:25,748 --> 02:02:26,482
minute timer.

4073
02:02:26,482 --> 02:02:27,116
There are six people with their

4074
02:02:27,116 --> 02:02:29,516
hands raised no additional

4075
02:02:30,620 --> 02:02:31,870
speakers will be taken.

4076
02:02:31,870 --> 02:02:33,870
Please proceed.

4077
02:02:36,459 --> 02:02:37,227
Thank you Joyce.

4078
02:02:37,227 --> 02:02:40,227
A big question for you.

4079
02:02:41,798 --> 02:02:42,232
What about the assets of

4080
02:02:42,232 --> 02:02:43,990
the employees?

4081
02:02:43,990 --> 02:02:47,899
I Googled a lot of this and it

4082
02:02:48,271 --> 02:02:48,772
didn't look good at time.

4083
02:02:48,772 --> 02:02:50,772
So 6500 jobs.

4084
02:02:54,944 --> 02:02:59,144
So I want before we sign this

4085
02:03:00,617 --> 02:03:01,317
approve this I want you to do a

4086
02:03:01,317 --> 02:03:02,520
report to workforce report and

4087
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:06,252
I think you need to return this

4088
02:03:06,323 --> 02:03:07,900
your staff and staff.

4089
02:03:07,900 --> 02:03:07,790
Actually I would sort of love

4090
02:03:07,790 --> 02:03:11,894
having a new a brand new lease

4091
02:03:11,894 --> 02:03:12,629
but I would go with the middle

4092
02:03:12,629 --> 02:03:15,629
road to the 52 year extension

4093
02:03:18,335 --> 02:03:18,969
to 2078 is a major long term

4094
02:03:18,969 --> 02:03:21,369
commitment of public land

4095
02:03:22,973 --> 02:03:23,673
making it critical to align to

4096
02:03:23,673 --> 02:03:26,730
align the 1979 agreement with

4097
02:03:29,412 --> 02:03:29,780
current labor and equity

4098
02:03:29,780 --> 02:03:30,513
standards.

4099
02:03:30,513 --> 02:03:34,113
This is not being looked at

4100
02:03:35,586 --> 02:03:36,253
completely and it's very

4101
02:03:36,253 --> 02:03:36,653
important $800 million total

4102
02:03:36,653 --> 02:03:37,287
asset value.

4103
02:03:37,287 --> 02:03:39,687
What about our employees?

4104
02:03:42,426 --> 02:03:42,791
I don't get it yet.

4105
02:03:42,791 --> 02:03:43,493
Please.

4106
02:03:43,493 --> 02:03:46,363
But the time has concluded when

4107
02:03:46,363 --> 02:03:47,230
I'm writing an 8813 please

4108
02:03:47,230 --> 02:03:50,830
email after that is Andrea I

4109
02:03:52,335 --> 02:03:52,903
mean one three.

4110
02:03:52,903 --> 02:03:55,303
I can't hear you.

4111
02:03:57,307 --> 02:03:58,174
Okay thank you.

4112
02:03:58,174 --> 02:04:02,374
So first off, I just kind of

4113
02:04:03,646 --> 02:04:04,514
wanted to point out how gosh, I

4114
02:04:04,514 --> 02:04:08,952
grew up going to the zoo but I

4115
02:04:08,952 --> 02:04:11,952
am entirely against any animals

4116
02:04:14,691 --> 02:04:15,250
being in cages including humans

4117
02:04:15,250 --> 02:04:17,250
.

4118
02:04:21,498 --> 02:04:22,299
And also I wanted to comment

4119
02:04:22,299 --> 02:04:25,899
referring to where I just sort

4120
02:04:26,804 --> 02:04:27,504
of pull over and speak a little

4121
02:04:27,504 --> 02:04:29,504
climate crisis emission

4122
02:04:32,510 --> 02:04:33,143
reduction A.K.A. Controlling

4123
02:04:33,143 --> 02:04:35,543
the people's movement and

4124
02:04:38,949 --> 02:04:39,816
behavior to accommodate goals

4125
02:04:39,816 --> 02:04:40,517
for the un's 2030 plan and to

4126
02:04:40,517 --> 02:04:43,517
further enslave the people in

4127
02:04:45,622 --> 02:04:46,356
the skies above progress.

4128
02:04:46,356 --> 02:04:47,224
I mean people really have to

4129
02:04:47,224 --> 02:04:51,320
wake up to this and just like

4130
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:51,395
it because name was Bob

4131
02:04:51,395 --> 02:04:52,290
Kozinski.

MR. Kozinski had the best

4133
02:04:52,696 --> 02:04:55,696
comments of all comments of

4134
02:04:58,902 --> 02:04:59,403
the day regarding the previous

4135
02:04:59,403 --> 02:05:01,403
item pest control.

4136
02:05:02,706 --> 02:05:03,674
And I think if you can please

4137
02:05:03,674 --> 02:05:07,274
on mute after you at 749 please

4138
02:05:09,980 --> 02:05:10,947

4139
02:05:10,947 --> 02:05:11,682
I don't I mean I can't I mean

4140
02:05:11,682 --> 02:05:12,482

4142
02:05:19,256 --> 02:05:23,456

02:05:23,527 --> 02:05:24,280
willing to move on 7499 if you

4144
02:05:24,280 --> 02:05:26,280
can please unmute.

4145
02:05:30,330 --> 02:05:30,768
>> Bob do this here.

4146
02:05:30,768 --> 02:05:31,435
Let me describe a hypothetical

4147
02:05:31,435 --> 02:05:32,690
situation worth considering

4148
02:05:32,690 --> 02:05:35,306
with regard to such a long

4149
02:05:35,306 --> 02:05:35,973
lease.

4150
02:05:35,973 --> 02:05:36,640
Let's imagine that one of

4151
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:39,400
the zookeepers was negligent

4152
02:05:39,643 --> 02:05:40,344
and as a result of that

4153
02:05:40,344 --> 02:05:40,945
negligence one of the zoo's

4154
02:05:40,945 --> 02:05:41,578
elephants got loose and

4155
02:05:41,578 --> 02:05:42,212
trampled a young woman who

4156
02:05:42,212 --> 02:05:44,612
suffered a broken pelvis.

4157
02:05:46,830 --> 02:05:46,783
Let's further imagine that a

4158
02:05:46,783 --> 02:05:47,484
regular zoo visitor witnessed

4159
02:05:47,484 --> 02:05:48,218
that negligence situation and

4160
02:05:48,218 --> 02:05:50,618
had reported similar negligence

4161
02:05:51,922 --> 02:05:52,656
in the past.

4162
02:05:52,656 --> 02:05:53,357
Imagine that The young woman

4163
02:05:53,357 --> 02:05:53,991
sued the zoo and she called on

4164
02:05:53,991 --> 02:05:56,991
the regular visitor as an

4165
02:05:58,128 --> 02:05:58,795
expert witness And that witness

4166
02:05:58,795 --> 02:05:59,530
testified to the negligence

4167
02:05:59,530 --> 02:05:59,930
that he had witnessed for years

4168
02:05:59,930 --> 02:06:01,930
at the zoo.

4169
02:06:04,568 --> 02:06:05,302
His testimony was devastating

4170
02:06:05,302 --> 02:06:05,970
and the zoo settled the lawsuit

4171
02:06:05,970 --> 02:06:10,170
for a lot of money and then

4172
02:06:10,174 --> 02:06:10,908
the zoo began retaliating

4173
02:06:10,908 --> 02:06:11,575
against that witness and banned

4174
02:06:11,575 --> 02:06:12,310
him from coming to the zoo.

4175
02:06:12,310 --> 02:06:15,310
But that said scenario sounds

4176
02:06:17,314 --> 02:06:17,982
far fetched.

4177
02:06:17,982 --> 02:06:18,582
It shouldn't because that's

4178
02:06:18,582 --> 02:06:19,283
what's happened to be in

4179
02:06:19,283 --> 02:06:19,784
the long term lease at Torrey

4180
02:06:19,784 --> 02:06:21,784
Pines Glider Park.

4181
02:06:22,420 --> 02:06:23,530
Despite the claims, a shorter

4182
02:06:23,530 --> 02:06:26,530
term lease would not stop

4183
02:06:28,492 --> 02:06:29,160
the zoo from doing all of

4184
02:06:29,160 --> 02:06:29,460
the great things that it has

4185
02:06:29,460 --> 02:06:29,829
done.

4186
02:06:29,829 --> 02:06:30,394
Thank you.

4187
02:06:30,394 --> 02:06:32,794
Thank you, Jay Powell.

4188
02:06:38,202 --> 02:06:39,300
If you can please unmute Drew

4189
02:06:39,300 --> 02:06:42,603
Powell please on Mute Star six

4190
02:06:43,908 --> 02:06:44,208
or the pop up should have come

4191
02:06:44,208 --> 02:06:44,975
up.

4192
02:06:44,975 --> 02:06:45,443
>> Well, the pop up didn't come

4193
02:06:45,443 --> 02:06:45,710
up immediately.

4194
02:06:45,710 --> 02:06:46,177
Yes.

4195
02:06:46,177 --> 02:06:48,177
Please proceed.

4196
02:06:50,481 --> 02:06:51,480
I'd like the slide that shows

4197
02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:53,448
the overall picture of

4198
02:06:56,854 --> 02:06:57,488
the general view being pulled

4199
02:06:57,488 --> 02:07:00,488
up before my time starts.

4200
02:07:01,859 --> 02:07:02,726
And this is not about loading

4201
02:07:02,726 --> 02:07:03,940
as you well know my family love

4202
02:07:03,940 --> 02:07:05,940
this year.

4203
02:07:07,565 --> 02:07:08,232
This is about a huge extension

4204
02:07:08,232 --> 02:07:11,832
of a very, very long term.

4205
02:07:12,837 --> 02:07:13,439
I'd like you to refer this back

4206
02:07:13,439 --> 02:07:14,138
and also to the Climate

4207
02:07:14,138 --> 02:07:14,605
Advisory Board, the Resilience

4208
02:07:14,605 --> 02:07:15,340
Advisory Board.

4209
02:07:15,340 --> 02:07:18,340
We're talking about the Climate

4210
02:07:19,277 --> 02:07:19,977
Action Plan earlier

4211
02:07:19,977 --> 02:07:20,678
notwithstanding the reporting

4212
02:07:20,678 --> 02:07:23,780
requirements and the confusion

4213
02:07:24,949 --> 02:07:25,750
about that.

4214
02:07:25,750 --> 02:07:26,417
If this is something that

4215
02:07:26,417 --> 02:07:30,170
the vast parking lot in that

4216
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:32,790
picture that you can see

4217
02:07:32,790 --> 02:07:33,491
the largest single ever massive

4218
02:07:33,491 --> 02:07:36,491
black and heat generated that

4219
02:07:37,795 --> 02:07:38,396
could become a major energy

4220
02:07:38,396 --> 02:07:39,130
pollution and rainwater

4221
02:07:39,130 --> 02:07:39,864
contribution if it was properly

4222
02:07:39,864 --> 02:07:42,264
designed to accommodate parking

4223
02:07:43,301 --> 02:07:43,968
solar panel electric storage

4224
02:07:43,968 --> 02:07:44,535
equipment Such a development

4225
02:07:44,535 --> 02:07:45,103
conjunction with other

4226
02:07:45,103 --> 02:07:47,503
improvement in the zoo

4227
02:07:49,307 --> 02:07:49,941
facilities could serve as a

4228
02:07:49,941 --> 02:07:50,575
community based microgrid.

4229
02:07:50,575 --> 02:07:52,844
>> Your time has concluded

4230
02:07:52,844 --> 02:07:53,711

02:07:53,711 --> 02:07:57,311
unmute and then Hector is our

4232
02:07:59,851 --> 02:08:00,518
final speaker.

4233
02:08:00,518 --> 02:08:02,918
Where have you been?

4234
02:08:11,964 --> 02:08:12,897
I can read it for you about it.

4235
02:08:12,897 --> 02:08:17,697
I knew a pop up should come up

4236
02:08:21,500 --> 02:08:21,973
or some sort of instructions.

4237
02:08:21,973 --> 02:08:22,740
I will need to move on more

4238
02:08:22,740 --> 02:08:26,340
speaker is Hector if you can

4239
02:08:27,912 --> 02:08:28,580
please unmute of Thanks for

4240
02:08:28,580 --> 02:08:31,580
taking my comments Hector I

4241
02:08:32,584 --> 02:08:32,984
would think I can do things for

4242
02:08:32,984 --> 02:08:33,652
the city.

4243
02:08:33,652 --> 02:08:34,385
Let's have a three hour

4244
02:08:34,385 --> 02:08:37,385
question and answer period like

4245
02:08:39,257 --> 02:08:39,891
down at the gym down there

4246
02:08:39,891 --> 02:08:42,891
double park or double room

4247
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:43,661
where we can just ask everybody

4248
02:08:43,661 --> 02:08:44,362
questions for three hours and

4249
02:08:44,362 --> 02:08:47,962
get answers like the mayor and

4250
02:08:49,634 --> 02:08:50,402
you guys And because it is you

4251
02:08:50,402 --> 02:08:51,102
know this is how the city does

4252
02:08:51,102 --> 02:08:51,870
it but they kind of circus

4253
02:08:51,870 --> 02:08:54,870
things that jam it down

4254
02:08:55,106 --> 02:08:55,807
Everyone's throat at the last

4255
02:08:55,807 --> 02:08:59,407
minute you know But next time

4256
02:09:00,879 --> 02:09:01,746
every big thing that's coming

4257
02:09:01,746 --> 02:09:02,714
up all grown up to do And when

4258
02:09:02,714 --> 02:09:06,484
I when I grew up there in

4259
02:09:06,484 --> 02:09:07,152
the 50s the bus driver would go

4260
02:09:07,152 --> 02:09:07,852
at the end of the bus route.

4261
02:09:07,852 --> 02:09:11,452
They would point out the most

4262
02:09:12,390 --> 02:09:13,910
dangerous animal ever to walk

4263
02:09:13,910 --> 02:09:13,792
the earth And where they were

4264
02:09:13,792 --> 02:09:17,392
there at the limit over there

4265
02:09:18,563 --> 02:09:18,897
at Roosevelt Junior High

4266
02:09:18,897 --> 02:09:19,597
School.

4267
02:09:19,597 --> 02:09:23,797
The bus driver you say this is

4268
02:09:24,369 --> 02:09:25,137
the most dangerous animal And

4269
02:09:25,137 --> 02:09:25,837
it's true that we should bring

4270
02:09:25,837 --> 02:09:26,404
that back to the bus driver to

4271
02:09:26,404 --> 02:09:29,404
say that to the kids.

4272
02:09:31,109 --> 02:09:31,877
It's true More than ever.

4273
02:09:31,877 --> 02:09:32,443
Day one That concludes with a

4274
02:09:32,443 --> 02:09:34,843

amendment to the lease with

4300
02:10:16,755 --> 02:10:17,355
the Zoological Society of San

4301
02:10:17,355 --> 02:10:19,755
Diego for the continued

4302
02:10:21,626 --> 02:10:22,394
operation of the World famous

4303
02:10:22,394 --> 02:10:23,128
San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park.

4304
02:10:23,128 --> 02:10:23,729
For more than a century the zoo

4305
02:10:23,729 --> 02:10:26,729
has been one of ten.

4306
02:10:27,666 --> 02:10:28,400
Diego's most treasured

4307
02:10:28,400 --> 02:10:31,400
institutions and a major driver

4308
02:10:33,872 --> 02:10:36,872
of our regional economy in 2024

4309
02:10:38,110 --> 02:10:38,744
alone and welcomed nearly 3.9

4310
02:10:38,744 --> 02:10:39,444
million visitors generated

4311
02:10:39,444 --> 02:10:41,444
significant economic activity

4312
02:10:44,483 --> 02:10:44,783
and supported at least 6500

4313
02:10:44,783 --> 02:10:45,417
jobs.

4314
02:10:45,417 --> 02:10:46,180
This amendment strengthens

4315
02:10:46,180 --> 02:10:48,418
the city's long standing

4316
02:10:50,489 --> 02:10:51,900
partnership with the zoo,

4317
02:10:51,900 --> 02:10:51,690
providing stability for

4318
02:10:51,690 --> 02:10:53,690
continued investment in

4319
02:10:56,128 --> 02:10:56,695
the property and creates

4320
02:10:56,695 --> 02:10:57,620
meaningful revenue for

4321
02:10:57,620 --> 02:10:57,696
the city.

4322
02:10:57,696 --> 02:10:58,430
This agreement includes an

4323
02:10:58,430 --> 02:11:02,300
annual payment to the city that

4324
02:11:02,734 --> 02:11:03,368
will grow over time.

4325
02:11:03,368 --> 02:11:05,768
It also ensures continued

4326
02:11:08,507 --> 02:11:09,174
community benefits including

4327
02:11:09,174 --> 02:11:09,908
complimentary admissions for

4328
02:11:09,908 --> 02:11:10,509
local nonprofits, school groups

4329
02:11:10,509 --> 02:11:13,509
and children as well as

4330
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:15,614
prevailing wage requirements

4331
02:11:15,614 --> 02:11:16,115
for construction and

4332
02:11:16,115 --> 02:11:16,715
maintenance work.

4333
02:11:16,715 --> 02:11:18,715
Overall, this agreement

4334
02:11:21,787 --> 02:11:22,488
protects a key city asset while

4335
02:11:22,488 --> 02:11:25,488
supporting one of San Diego's

4336
02:11:27,250 --> 02:11:27,760
most iconic institutions.

4337
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:28,494
I'm happy to make the motion to

4338
02:11:28,494 --> 02:11:30,494
support staff's recommendation.

We have a motion to move

4344
02:11:35,501 --> 02:11:37,501
the staff recommendation.

4345
02:11:39,571 --> 02:11:39,972

4351
02:11:52,551 --> 02:11:53,251
doubt about the love of the zoo

4352
02:11:53,251 --> 02:11:53,953
and I'm not going to tell you

4353
02:11:53,953 --> 02:11:57,323
that they are jokes I used to

4354
02:11:57,323 --> 02:11:58,900
play with my daughters on it

4355
02:11:58,900 --> 02:11:59,580
but that's not what's in front

4356
02:11:59,580 --> 02:12:02,728
of us but in front of us as a

4357
02:12:02,728 --> 02:12:03,462
real estate transaction And I

4358
02:12:03,462 --> 02:12:04,960
think that's what was presented

4359
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,696
to us was a real estate

4360
02:12:08,534 --> 02:12:09,235
transaction and I think my

4361
02:12:09,235 --> 02:12:09,802
council colleagues will agree

4362
02:12:09,802 --> 02:12:10,202
this is a real estate

4363
02:12:10,202 --> 02:12:10,836
transaction.

4364
02:12:10,836 --> 02:12:14,436
The action in front of us

4365
02:12:15,107 --> 02:12:15,909
includes some waivers of 700

4366
02:12:15,909 --> 02:12:20,109
Dash ten But I also want to

4367
02:12:20,513 --> 02:12:21,213
remind folks that we also have

4368
02:12:21,213 --> 02:12:21,981
another council policy 700 oh

4369
02:12:21,981 --> 02:12:25,581
four that talks about what we

4370
02:12:27,286 --> 02:12:27,887
do for projects in Balboa Park

4371
02:12:27,887 --> 02:12:30,887
and as noted for city

4372
02:12:33,259 --> 02:12:33,893
subsidized nonprofit cultural

4373
02:12:33,893 --> 02:12:34,594
recreational institutions.

4374
02:12:34,594 --> 02:12:35,294
In certain instances it MAY be

4375
02:12:35,294 --> 02:12:38,294
necessary to grant an extended

4376
02:12:39,732 --> 02:12:40,433
and specific term of occupancy

4377
02:12:40,433 --> 02:12:41,133
to assist a tenant in securing

4378
02:12:41,133 --> 02:12:43,533
financing for improvements or

4379
02:12:45,938 --> 02:12:46,639
modifications to the premises.

4380
02:12:46,639 --> 02:12:47,373
In these cases an appropriate

4381
02:12:47,373 --> 02:12:50,973
term should be approved that is

4382
02:12:51,177 --> 02:12:51,911
commensurate with the those

4383
02:12:51,911 --> 02:12:52,645
requirements And I appreciate

4384
02:12:52,645 --> 02:12:55,848
the fact that I think we that I

4385
02:12:55,848 --> 02:12:56,549
do the math correct 30 million

4386
02:12:56,549 --> 02:12:57,150
a year and infrastructure over

4387
02:12:57,150 --> 02:12:58,170
the past ten years and I

4388
02:12:58,170 --> 02:13:01,617
suspect we'll see that level of

4389
02:13:02,455 --> 02:13:03,189
investment and more

4390
02:13:03,189 --> 02:13:03,589
particularly to the comments of

4391
02:13:03,589 --> 02:13:04,290
the public.

4392
02:13:04,290 --> 02:13:07,890
I don't think that parking lot

4393
02:13:08,394 --> 02:13:09,128
if they are for the long term

4394
02:13:09,128 --> 02:13:12,128
obviously for those with longer

4395
02:13:13,399 --> 02:13:14,330
memories there was a very

4396
02:13:14,330 --> 02:13:14,667
ambitious plan laid out a

4397
02:13:14,667 --> 02:13:17,667
number of years ago about

4398
02:13:19,805 --> 02:13:20,573
things life gets in the way but

4399
02:13:20,573 --> 02:13:21,241
I think we will see something

4400
02:13:21,241 --> 02:13:24,841
which a much better use for

4401
02:13:25,110 --> 02:13:25,745
that sea of asphalt that's out

4402
02:13:25,745 --> 02:13:26,279
there while preserving the some

4403
02:13:26,279 --> 02:13:28,279
3000 parking spaces.

4404
02:13:31,918 --> 02:13:32,652
It is also important to me that

4405
02:13:32,652 --> 02:13:36,252
I am focused on the $3 million

4406
02:13:37,790 --> 02:13:38,558
minimum per year to agree that

4407
02:13:38,558 --> 02:13:39,459
to keep it that you were able

4408
02:13:39,459 --> 02:13:42,459
to work out accommodations if

4409
02:13:44,297 --> 02:13:45,310
revenue should exceed that.

4410
02:13:45,310 --> 02:13:45,734
I consider that to be frosting

4411
02:13:45,734 --> 02:13:46,432
on the cake something that we

4412
02:13:46,432 --> 02:13:49,402
should not plan around budget

4413
02:13:49,402 --> 02:13:50,200
conversations on but the 3

4414
02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:50,703
million and as a minimum

4415
02:13:50,703 --> 02:13:53,703
statement is something that we

4416
02:13:55,875 --> 02:13:56,676
can now plan on going forward

4417
02:13:56,676 --> 02:14:00,876
And I do want to recognize that

4418
02:14:01,180 --> 02:14:01,981
even though pay parking is just

4419
02:14:01,981 --> 02:14:05,581
getting started that is who has

4420
02:14:05,851 --> 02:14:06,552
agreed to issue with that 3

4421
02:14:06,552 --> 02:14:07,220
million for this fiscal fiscal

4422
02:14:07,220 --> 02:14:10,220
year That should not go

4423
02:14:12,250 --> 02:14:12,792
unnoticed.

4424
02:14:12,792 --> 02:14:16,392
I also want to mention for

4425
02:14:17,730 --> 02:14:18,431
the adding them up to the lease

4426
02:14:18,431 --> 02:14:18,998
agreement which as I mentioned

4427
02:14:18,998 --> 02:14:21,998
in the earlier item is

4428
02:14:23,690 --> 02:14:23,736
particularly important to me

4429
02:14:23,736 --> 02:14:24,470
because I was the one that

4430
02:14:24,470 --> 02:14:28,700
fought to get them Bob included

4431
02:14:29,709 --> 02:14:30,410
on city land even if it was

4432
02:14:30,410 --> 02:14:31,110
leased to private parties and

4433
02:14:31,110 --> 02:14:33,510
certainly recognize that that

4434
02:14:35,148 --> 02:14:35,749
Bob does have exclusions in it

4435
02:14:35,749 --> 02:14:36,449
there has to actually be

4436
02:14:36,449 --> 02:14:39,449
feasible methods and there has

4437
02:14:40,854 --> 02:14:41,487
to be a financial component.

4438
02:14:41,487 --> 02:14:42,121
Prevailing wage is always

4439
02:14:42,121 --> 02:14:44,521
important on big capital

4440
02:14:47,160 --> 02:14:47,894
projects and then to counteract

4441
02:14:47,894 --> 02:14:52,940
a couple of things that I heard

4442
02:14:53,990 --> 02:14:53,833
one that I hear over that

4443
02:14:53,833 --> 02:14:54,501
somebody said and keeps getting

4444
02:14:54,501 --> 02:14:55,168
repeated over and over again

4445
02:14:55,168 --> 02:14:58,168
this 3 million will go into

4446
02:14:58,671 --> 02:14:59,500
the Balboa Park paid parking

4447
02:14:59,500 --> 02:14:59,472
program.

4448
02:14:59,472 --> 02:15:00,400
Is that correct?

4449
02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:02,440
Casey That is correct.

4450
02:15:04,944 --> 02:15:05,612
And all the parking revenue

4451
02:15:05,612 --> 02:15:06,212
throughout Balboa Park goes

4452
02:15:06,212 --> 02:15:06,913
into this pocket parking

4453
02:15:06,913 --> 02:15:09,313
program essentially a lockbox

4454
02:15:10,783 --> 02:15:11,184
and can only be used within

4455
02:15:11,184 --> 02:15:11,784
Balboa Park.

4456
02:15:11,784 --> 02:15:12,419
I think some members of

4457
02:15:12,419 --> 02:15:12,752
the public try to confuse

4458
02:15:12,752 --> 02:15:14,752
people.

4459
02:15:17,900 --> 02:15:17,757
The other thing is for whatever

4460
02:15:17,757 --> 02:15:18,458
you think about paid parking

4461
02:15:18,458 --> 02:15:19,192
available park I learned quite

4462
02:15:19,192 --> 02:15:22,662
a bit about Balboa Park despite

4463
02:15:22,662 --> 02:15:23,263
being a native and having

4464
02:15:23,263 --> 02:15:23,997
enjoyed Double Park over

4465
02:15:23,997 --> 02:15:24,497
the years And one of the things

4466
02:15:24,497 --> 02:15:26,897
I learned is that

4467
02:15:27,867 --> 02:15:28,468
the leaseholders in double Park

4468
02:15:28,468 --> 02:15:29,169
don't pay for water.

4469
02:15:29,169 --> 02:15:32,769
The exception is that a number

4470
02:15:34,908 --> 02:15:35,575
of years ago and the basic

4471
02:15:35,575 --> 02:15:36,142
reason that there's only one

4472
02:15:36,142 --> 02:15:39,142
meter for all your all

4473
02:15:39,479 --> 02:15:40,146
the water system that goes

4474
02:15:40,146 --> 02:15:40,880
throughout Balboa Park again

4475
02:15:40,880 --> 02:15:41,748
except for those who put in a

4476
02:15:41,748 --> 02:15:45,348
sub meter and they actually pay

4477
02:15:46,452 --> 02:15:50,520
for their own water They're one

4478
02:15:51,558 --> 02:15:52,359
of many things to be recognized

4479
02:15:52,359 --> 02:15:53,260
and I think I mentioned

4480
02:15:53,260 --> 02:15:57,226
the parking lot so I think I

4481
02:15:57,564 --> 02:15:57,931
covered all the ground that I

4482
02:15:57,931 --> 02:15:58,632
wanted to.

4483
02:15:58,632 --> 02:15:59,399
So with that I will second

4484
02:15:59,399 --> 02:16:02,999
the motion to move a staff

4485
02:16:03,937 --> 02:16:04,604
recommendation And with that we

4486
02:16:04,604 --> 02:16:04,938
will now go to Councilmember

4487
02:16:04,938 --> 02:16:06,938
Moreno.

4488
02:16:10,760 --> 02:16:10,644
Thank you and also thank you

4489
02:16:10,644 --> 02:16:11,411
for the presentation.

4490
02:16:11,411 --> 02:16:15,110
>> I want to thank city staff

4491
02:16:15,949 --> 02:16:16,650
and representatives from

4492
02:16:16,650 --> 02:16:17,417
the San Diego Zoo for the work

4493
02:16:17,417 --> 02:16:20,417
that went into negotiating this

4494
02:16:21,688 --> 02:16:22,456
amendment.

4495
02:16:22,456 --> 02:16:23,123
The San Diego Zoo is an

4496
02:16:23,123 --> 02:16:23,924
important institution in our

4497
02:16:23,924 --> 02:16:28,124
city and it has a very long

4498
02:16:28,261 --> 02:16:28,995
history in Balboa Park.

4499
02:16:28,995 --> 02:16:29,696
It brings visitors from around

4500
02:16:29,696 --> 02:16:33,296
the world and it plays an

4501
02:16:33,867 --> 02:16:34,768
important role in conservation.

4502
02:16:34,768 --> 02:16:38,368
But I think the most important

4503
02:16:40,707 --> 02:16:41,441
thing that it does is it keeps

4504
02:16:41,441 --> 02:16:45,410
local San Diego and students at

4505
02:16:45,546 --> 02:16:45,879
the forefront of their mission

4506
02:16:45,879 --> 02:16:46,546
.

4507
02:16:46,546 --> 02:16:47,180
The zoo has a commitment to

4508
02:16:47,180 --> 02:16:50,180
every second grader in San

4509
02:16:52,520 --> 02:16:52,653
Diego so that they have access

4510
02:16:52,653 --> 02:16:53,787
to the zoo for free.

4511
02:16:53,787 --> 02:16:57,987
36 years ago I was one of those

4512
02:16:58,392 --> 02:16:59,159
students.

4513
02:16:59,159 --> 02:16:59,893
So to say that the San Diego

4514
02:16:59,893 --> 02:17:00,661
Zoo is a good steward of park

4515
02:17:00,661 --> 02:17:03,661
land I think is an

4516
02:17:03,797 --> 02:17:04,565
understatement.

4517
02:17:04,565 --> 02:17:05,132
Currently the zoo houses 12,000

4518
02:17:05,132 --> 02:17:08,132
animals that live in a

4519
02:17:09,970 --> 02:17:10,637
naturalistic habitat eight

4520
02:17:10,637 --> 02:17:11,371
gardens dedicated to native

4521
02:17:11,371 --> 02:17:14,971
plant species And as one stated

4522
02:17:15,876 --> 02:17:16,410
it generates an economic impact

4523
02:17:16,410 --> 02:17:17,143
of about $2 billion.

4524
02:17:17,143 --> 02:17:20,143
All of this exists within

4525
02:17:22,516 --> 02:17:22,883
the larger area that makes it

4526
02:17:22,883 --> 02:17:23,584
possible.

4527
02:17:23,584 --> 02:17:27,784
Albert Park is one of the most

4528
02:17:28,122 --> 02:17:28,989
important public spaces we have

4529
02:17:28,989 --> 02:17:29,590
in the city and it belongs to

4530
02:17:29,590 --> 02:17:32,590
the people of San Diego.

4531
02:17:34,940 --> 02:17:34,962
Families come here because it's

4532
02:17:34,962 --> 02:17:35,496
a place where they get to spend

4533
02:17:35,496 --> 02:17:36,163
time together, enjoy

4534
02:17:36,163 --> 02:17:39,163
the museums, the gardens and

4535
02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:41,402
the cultural institutions

4536
02:17:41,402 --> 02:17:41,802
without having to worry so much

4537
02:17:41,802 --> 02:17:43,802
about cost.

4538
02:17:46,240 --> 02:17:46,941
I voted in the past against

4539
02:17:46,941 --> 02:17:47,608
paid parking at Balboa Park to

4540
02:17:47,608 --> 02:17:50,608
keep the park accessible to

4541
02:17:51,578 --> 02:17:52,246
everyone in San Diego.

4542
02:17:52,246 --> 02:17:52,980
My colleagues have voted for

4543
02:17:52,980 --> 02:17:56,580
paid parking at Balboa Park and

4544
02:17:57,685 --> 02:17:58,452
this is why we are here today.

4545
02:17:58,452 --> 02:17:58,886
I wish this was not

4546
02:17:58,886 --> 02:17:59,486
the situation.

4547
02:17:59,486 --> 02:18:01,486
However, this agreement

4548
02:18:03,991 --> 02:18:04,625
continues our commitment to

4549
02:18:04,625 --> 02:18:05,325
putting San Diegans first,

4550
02:18:05,325 --> 02:18:07,725
supporting the world renowned

4551
02:18:10,364 --> 02:18:11,650
wildlife conservation the zoo

4552
02:18:11,650 --> 02:18:14,665
has achieved and also in my

4553
02:18:16,700 --> 02:18:16,403
opinion ensuring a fair

4554
02:18:16,403 --> 02:18:17,370
outcome.

4555
02:18:17,370 --> 02:18:17,738
>> So therefore I will be

4556
02:18:17,738 --> 02:18:21,338
voting on the motion before us

4557
02:18:23,111 --> 02:18:23,477
today and that concludes my

4558
02:18:23,477 --> 02:18:23,844
comments.

4559
02:18:23,844 --> 02:18:24,545
Thank you.

4560
02:18:24,545 --> 02:18:28,145
Thank you Council Member And I

4561
02:18:28,782 --> 02:18:29,583
forgot to repeat that we do

4562
02:18:29,583 --> 02:18:30,284
have a motion by Council member

4563
02:18:30,284 --> 02:18:30,784
Campbell and second by myself

4564
02:18:30,784 --> 02:18:31,485
to move The staff

4565
02:18:31,485 --> 02:18:34,880
recommendation will go next to

4566
02:18:34,880 --> 02:18:34,855
Councilmember Van Wilbert.

4567
02:18:34,855 --> 02:18:35,589
Thank you Thank you for

4568
02:18:35,589 --> 02:18:36,423
the work in the presentation on

4569
02:18:36,423 --> 02:18:40,623
this and thank you to all of

4570
02:18:40,761 --> 02:18:41,129
our volunteers here for

4571
02:18:41,129 --> 02:18:41,863
The View.

4572
02:18:41,863 --> 02:18:42,563
Every time I visit the zoo I am

4573
02:18:42,563 --> 02:18:44,963
always incredibly delighted by

4574
02:18:45,666 --> 02:18:46,200
every single volunteer who

4575
02:18:46,200 --> 02:18:46,834
knows so much about

4576
02:18:46,834 --> 02:18:49,834
the exhibits that they are

4577
02:18:51,839 --> 02:18:52,440
volunteering for And I have

4578
02:18:52,440 --> 02:18:53,140
been blown away by your

4579
02:18:53,140 --> 02:18:53,741
dedication and your knowledge

4580
02:18:53,741 --> 02:18:56,141
and your stewardship to

4581
02:18:57,311 --> 02:18:58,110
the city.

4582
02:18:58,110 --> 02:18:58,746
I mean these are volunteer

4583
02:18:58,746 --> 02:18:59,446
positions that you're doing and

4584
02:18:59,446 --> 02:19:00,147
I can see how deeply you care

4585
02:19:00,147 --> 02:19:03,747
about the animals that you see

4586
02:19:04,850 --> 02:19:04,618
and how you care about

4587
02:19:04,618 --> 02:19:05,252
the public engaging.

4588
02:19:05,252 --> 02:19:05,553
So just thank you for your

4589
02:19:05,553 --> 02:19:06,187
work.

4590
02:19:06,187 --> 02:19:06,754
Thank you for being here.

4591
02:19:06,754 --> 02:19:09,754
We need more people in

4592
02:19:09,890 --> 02:19:10,591
the world who are like the zoo

4593
02:19:10,591 --> 02:19:11,292
volunteers And I just want to

4594
02:19:11,292 --> 02:19:11,659
say how much I appreciate you.

4595
02:19:11,659 --> 02:19:13,659
Thank you.

4596
02:19:16,330 --> 02:19:16,998
To the zoo leadership as well.

4597
02:19:16,998 --> 02:19:17,665
It's a wonderful opening of

4598
02:19:17,665 --> 02:19:18,266
Elephant Valley last week at

4599
02:19:18,266 --> 02:19:21,266
the City of Safari Park.

4600
02:19:22,703 --> 02:19:23,437
i mean it made worldwide news.

4601
02:19:23,437 --> 02:19:24,338
I was absolutely incredible to

4602
02:19:24,338 --> 02:19:27,542
see and I can't wait to go back

4603
02:19:27,542 --> 02:19:27,842
just as a regular visitor as

4604
02:19:27,842 --> 02:19:28,442
well.

4605
02:19:28,442 --> 02:19:29,310
I saw the lion the crowd

4606
02:19:29,310 --> 02:19:33,510
waiting to come in and it was

4607
02:19:33,748 --> 02:19:34,615
incredible.

4608
02:19:34,615 --> 02:19:35,349
So I just want to thank you for

4609
02:19:35,349 --> 02:19:36,500
being a world class institution

4610
02:19:36,500 --> 02:19:39,650
located right here in the city

4611
02:19:40,880 --> 02:19:40,721
of San Diego And I agree with

4612
02:19:40,721 --> 02:19:41,422
what councilor or council

4613
02:19:41,422 --> 02:19:44,422
PRESIDENT Obama stated We all

4614
02:19:45,360 --> 02:19:46,270
are very, very excited about

4615
02:19:46,270 --> 02:19:46,694
the zoo growing and being a

4616
02:19:46,694 --> 02:19:47,395
part of our community and we

4617
02:19:47,395 --> 02:19:48,129
have to do our jobs as council

4618
02:19:48,129 --> 02:19:51,499
members review a lease and real

4619
02:19:51,499 --> 02:19:52,133
estate transaction that really

4620
02:19:52,133 --> 02:19:52,934
is not just about the zoo.

4621
02:19:52,934 --> 02:19:53,668
That's why we have a bunch of

4622
02:19:53,668 --> 02:19:56,668
questions about our real estate

4623
02:19:57,405 --> 02:19:58,439
transactions going forward.

4624
02:19:58,439 --> 02:20:02,639
One I do understand and I would

4625
02:20:03,711 --> 02:20:04,278
assert that the Safari Park and

4626
02:20:04,278 --> 02:20:04,912
the zoo are completely

4627
02:20:04,912 --> 02:20:05,346
different negotiations for

4628
02:20:05,346 --> 02:20:07,346
their leases.

4629
02:20:08,716 --> 02:20:09,317
One of if the operating

4630
02:20:09,317 --> 02:20:10,500
agreement is completely

4631
02:20:10,500 --> 02:20:10,718
different than the Balboa Park.

4632
02:20:10,718 --> 02:20:11,385
So I do think they should be

4633
02:20:11,385 --> 02:20:14,385
done separately and we will

4634
02:20:16,910 --> 02:20:16,391
have the Safari Park coming up

4635
02:20:16,391 --> 02:20:16,991
soon.

4636
02:20:16,991 --> 02:20:19,991
It's also peu de limited

4637
02:20:20,828 --> 02:20:21,462
regulated by Prop 218 so it's

4638
02:20:21,462 --> 02:20:21,963
completely different than

4639
02:20:21,963 --> 02:20:22,630
the Buffalo Park.

4640
02:20:22,630 --> 02:20:23,298
We also need to do this now

4641
02:20:23,298 --> 02:20:26,100
because it was the city that

4642
02:20:26,100 --> 02:20:26,801
put the urgency on the zoo to

4643
02:20:26,801 --> 02:20:27,468
do this when we were the ones

4644
02:20:27,468 --> 02:20:29,868
who instituted parking above

4645
02:20:31,720 --> 02:20:31,840
all Park So that's why these

4646
02:20:31,840 --> 02:20:32,507
are separate and I think that

4647
02:20:32,507 --> 02:20:33,374
they should be second plug.

4648
02:20:33,374 --> 02:20:36,974
We need to make sure that

4649
02:20:37,345 --> 02:20:38,460
the farmers in the fantastical

4650
02:20:38,460 --> 02:20:41,460
valley have their leases done.

4651
02:20:43,855 --> 02:20:44,586
I cannot support having a

4652
02:20:44,586 --> 02:20:45,253
neighbor next door having their

4653
02:20:45,253 --> 02:20:45,787
lease done when our farmers

4654
02:20:45,787 --> 02:20:48,187
have in four years.

4655
02:20:49,858 --> 02:20:50,625
Mark Hertz who spent his entire

4656
02:20:50,625 --> 02:20:51,292
term trying to get our farmers

4657
02:20:51,292 --> 02:20:51,926
early to dine in the farmers

4658
02:20:51,926 --> 02:20:54,926
cold alley and they're all

4659
02:20:55,430 --> 02:20:56,300
partners you wouldn't believe

4660
02:20:56,300 --> 02:20:56,665
the amount of work these

4661
02:20:56,665 --> 02:20:57,298
farmers do to clear trees,

4662
02:20:57,298 --> 02:20:57,799
brush off the roadway, you

4663
02:20:57,799 --> 02:20:59,799
know, fire safety.

4664
02:21:01,302 --> 02:21:02,360
So please put the same effort

4665
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:02,737
into getting our farmers leases

4666
02:21:02,737 --> 02:21:06,937
done as we do the Safari park

4667
02:21:07,750 --> 02:21:07,776
because I know they're all

4668
02:21:07,776 --> 02:21:08,243
partners up there and we need

4669
02:21:08,243 --> 02:21:09,430
to get it done.

4670
02:21:09,430 --> 02:21:12,447
So I know you're working on it

4671
02:21:12,447 --> 02:21:13,314
but the farmers are going to

4672
02:21:13,314 --> 02:21:13,982
come down to City Hall to talk

4673
02:21:13,982 --> 02:21:17,582
with us about it because we

4674
02:21:18,420 --> 02:21:19,421
need to get their leases done

4675
02:21:19,421 --> 02:21:22,824
So I know so I do have a

4676
02:21:22,824 --> 02:21:23,591
question here about why this is

4677
02:21:23,591 --> 02:21:24,292
under 710 because I believe it

4678
02:21:24,292 --> 02:21:27,292
really needs to be controlled

4679
02:21:27,862 --> 02:21:28,663
under 700 dash zero four And

4680
02:21:28,663 --> 02:21:32,863
with that we don't need to be

4681
02:21:33,368 --> 02:21:33,669
waiving anything in the motion

4682
02:21:33,669 --> 02:21:34,269
.

4683
02:21:34,269 --> 02:21:34,970
For example, the nutrien

4684
02:21:34,970 --> 02:21:35,670
reported there's no appraisal

4685
02:21:35,670 --> 02:21:38,873
here and we as a city have had

4686
02:21:38,873 --> 02:21:39,574
passed real estate transactions

4687
02:21:39,574 --> 02:21:40,242
where we've gotten in trouble

4688
02:21:40,242 --> 02:21:40,942
for not having an appraisal

4689
02:21:40,942 --> 02:21:41,443
such as the one to Ash Village

4690
02:21:41,443 --> 02:21:43,443
across the street.

4691
02:21:45,580 --> 02:21:46,248
However we do not charge rent

4692
02:21:46,248 --> 02:21:46,715
for Bethel Park tenants that

4693
02:21:46,715 --> 02:21:48,715
are non profits.

4694
02:21:50,285 --> 02:21:50,619
We have decided to say do not

4695
02:21:50,619 --> 02:21:51,286
do that.

4696
02:21:51,286 --> 02:21:51,886
So the only reason we would

4697
02:21:51,886 --> 02:21:52,587
invest in paying for an

4698
02:21:52,587 --> 02:21:56,787
appraisal is if we were to set

4699
02:21:56,925 --> 02:21:57,692
a price for rent or sale And so

4700
02:21:57,692 --> 02:21:58,260
i want to make sure that that

4701
02:21:58,260 --> 02:22:00,260
is the understanding.

4702
02:22:01,796 --> 02:22:02,464
That's why we do not need an

4703
02:22:02,464 --> 02:22:03,131
appraisal here because we're

4704
02:22:03,131 --> 02:22:03,565
not charging rent or selling

4705
02:22:03,565 --> 02:22:04,320
the property.

4706
02:22:04,320 --> 02:22:06,320
That is correct.

4707
02:22:08,336 --> 02:22:09,137
Councilmember Okay.

4708
02:22:09,137 --> 02:22:09,805
Just solely focused on parking

4709
02:22:09,805 --> 02:22:10,472
and we do not charge rent

4710
02:22:10,472 --> 02:22:12,872
because it's double park

4711
02:22:13,608 --> 02:22:14,376
correct?

4712
02:22:14,376 --> 02:22:17,376
704 So then why news whatever

4713
02:22:20,480 --> 02:22:20,715
the city attorney why aren't we

4714
02:22:20,715 --> 02:22:21,216
just implementing this under

4715
02:22:21,216 --> 02:22:21,983
700 dash and four?

4716
02:22:21,983 --> 02:22:24,953
I don't think we as a council

4717
02:22:24,953 --> 02:22:25,620
have to waive important

4718
02:22:25,620 --> 02:22:26,221
provisions of seven dash ten

4719
02:22:26,221 --> 02:22:29,221
such as market rate rent

4720
02:22:29,257 --> 02:22:30,325
improvements in the property

4721
02:22:30,325 --> 02:22:33,325
when 710 doesn't apply to this

4722
02:22:35,130 --> 02:22:37,130
situation.

4723
02:22:40,202 --> 02:22:41,690
And if you look at Section five

4724
02:22:41,690 --> 02:22:45,269
or let a Roman numeral be of

4725
02:22:45,608 --> 02:22:46,308
the disposition of city

4726
02:22:46,308 --> 02:22:46,975
property if I lease under 700

4727
02:22:46,975 --> 02:22:47,743
dash ten it states that if

4728
02:22:47,743 --> 02:22:50,743
Section five of this policy

4729
02:22:51,347 --> 02:22:52,800
conflicts with the more

4730
02:22:52,800 --> 02:22:52,714
specific applicable accountable

4731
02:22:52,714 --> 02:22:55,114
policy, the more specific

4732
02:22:55,751 --> 02:22:58,751
council policy will control And

4733
02:23:01,857 --> 02:23:02,558
that's 700 dash four Deputy

4734
02:23:02,558 --> 02:23:05,558
City Attorney Julie Inman So

4735
02:23:08,397 --> 02:23:09,970
the specific portions of County

4736
02:23:09,970 --> 02:23:12,970
policy 710 that our way of

4737
02:23:13,469 --> 02:23:16,469
solely apply to time extensions

4738
02:23:18,240 --> 02:23:19,410
of leases and amendments that

4739
02:23:19,410 --> 02:23:23,241
extend time and so one is a

4740
02:23:24,313 --> 02:23:25,130
waiver of the requirement that

4741
02:23:25,130 --> 02:23:25,447
the lease be updated to fair

4742
02:23:25,447 --> 02:23:26,140
market value.

4743
02:23:26,140 --> 02:23:29,140
And then the other is

4744
02:23:29,985 --> 02:23:30,652
the requirement that the tenant

4745
02:23:30,652 --> 02:23:32,652
propose capital improvements

4746
02:23:35,991 --> 02:23:36,726
that justify the extension and

4747
02:23:36,726 --> 02:23:39,126
those aspects weren't addressed

4748
02:23:42,131 --> 02:23:42,798
in 700 dashboard and the long

4749
02:23:42,798 --> 02:23:43,465
term extension of the lease

4750
02:23:43,465 --> 02:23:45,865
wasn't addressed in Council

4751
02:23:46,468 --> 02:23:47,169
policy 700 dash for So that's

4752
02:23:47,169 --> 02:23:50,769
the reason why the waiver was

4753
02:23:51,306 --> 02:23:52,740
included here.

4754
02:23:52,740 --> 02:23:55,740
Councilmember If I MAY also

4755
02:23:56,879 --> 02:23:57,580
just add for additional context

4756
02:23:57,580 --> 02:23:58,247
in terms of this Council's

4757
02:23:58,247 --> 02:24:01,247
policy that was updated last

4758
02:24:02,418 --> 02:24:06,180
FEBRUARY a long term lease and

4759
02:24:06,880 --> 02:24:06,956
disposition really is covered

4760
02:24:06,956 --> 02:24:10,556
by 700 Dash ten And then in

4761
02:24:11,961 --> 02:24:12,661
addition because it fell apart

4762
02:24:12,661 --> 02:24:13,362
because it's the zoo that's

4763
02:24:13,362 --> 02:24:16,362
the 704 So ensuring that we're

4764
02:24:17,766 --> 02:24:18,434
covering our bases based on

4765
02:24:18,434 --> 02:24:19,680
this council's direction we

4766
02:24:19,680 --> 02:24:19,735
wouldn't want to run afoul

4767
02:24:19,735 --> 02:24:22,735
associated with which one is

4768
02:24:23,505 --> 02:24:24,206
governing But that both

4769
02:24:24,206 --> 02:24:24,907
technically do apply and that

4770
02:24:24,907 --> 02:24:27,307
we're being transparent about

4771
02:24:28,844 --> 02:24:29,612
what we're asking you to do.

4772
02:24:29,612 --> 02:24:33,212
I appreciate that As as an

4773
02:24:34,884 --> 02:24:35,584
attorney I would disagree And

4774
02:24:35,584 --> 02:24:36,318
the reason is I don't want

4775
02:24:36,318 --> 02:24:37,520
the public to think that we are

4776
02:24:37,520 --> 02:24:39,452
skirting our responsibility to

4777
02:24:40,456 --> 02:24:41,157
get market rate when as it was

4778
02:24:41,157 --> 02:24:41,924
never paying rent in the first

4779
02:24:41,924 --> 02:24:45,524
place and that we are not

4780
02:24:45,528 --> 02:24:46,228
giving the zoo a special deal

4781
02:24:46,228 --> 02:24:46,529
that other city lessees would

4782
02:24:46,529 --> 02:24:48,529
take.

4783
02:24:50,366 --> 02:24:51,330
They've always been under

4784
02:24:51,330 --> 02:24:51,734
the Balboa Park rules which

4785
02:24:51,734 --> 02:24:54,734
means that these things don't

4786
02:24:55,905 --> 02:24:56,539
have to be waived And I want

4787
02:24:56,539 --> 02:24:57,139
the public to know we are

4788
02:24:57,139 --> 02:24:57,807
holding them to the same

4789
02:24:57,807 --> 02:24:58,474
account that we are holding

4790
02:24:58,474 --> 02:25:01,474
every single other person in

4791
02:25:02,110 --> 02:25:02,578
the ballpark And that's why I'm

4792
02:25:02,578 --> 02:25:03,245
saying you should you

4793
02:25:03,245 --> 02:25:05,747
understand how to for I will

4794
02:25:05,747 --> 02:25:06,615
die on the field.

4795
02:25:06,615 --> 02:25:07,316
But I want folks to know that

4796
02:25:07,316 --> 02:25:10,820
this has always been the case.

4797
02:25:10,820 --> 02:25:11,554
Plus the zoo has put in some

4798
02:25:11,554 --> 02:25:13,954
Stansell revenue into improving

4799
02:25:16,759 --> 02:25:17,930
the park, improving our city

4800
02:25:17,930 --> 02:25:17,927
assets.

4801
02:25:17,927 --> 02:25:18,527
I mean they put in tens of

4802
02:25:18,527 --> 02:25:20,927
millions of dollars into

4803
02:25:22,298 --> 02:25:23,980
infrastructure upgrades that

4804
02:25:23,980 --> 02:25:23,800
they're not going to get credit

4805
02:25:23,800 --> 02:25:24,434
for in this lease because they

4806
02:25:24,434 --> 02:25:25,168
didn't need to because it

4807
02:25:25,168 --> 02:25:26,903
wasn't under 700 said okay, I'm

4808
02:25:26,903 --> 02:25:27,170
done being with my legal hat

4809
02:25:27,170 --> 02:25:29,170
on.

4810
02:25:32,375 --> 02:25:33,750
So my last point is just that

4811
02:25:33,750 --> 02:25:33,776
the Teamsters are the ones who

4812
02:25:33,776 --> 02:25:36,776
represent the zoo workers here

4813
02:25:37,947 --> 02:25:38,514
and their fantastic There was a

4814
02:25:38,514 --> 02:25:38,915
question about who are

4815
02:25:38,915 --> 02:25:39,415
the workers.

4816
02:25:39,415 --> 02:25:40,160
They're wonderful.

4817
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:42,552
I met with the Teamsters

4818
02:25:42,552 --> 02:25:43,219
recently and I'm glad to see

4819
02:25:43,219 --> 02:25:43,953
they've approved the latest

4820
02:25:43,953 --> 02:25:44,654
collective bargaining agreement

4821
02:25:44,654 --> 02:25:47,824
which is great because we have

4822
02:25:47,824 --> 02:25:48,691
to invest in our workforce as

4823
02:25:48,691 --> 02:25:49,392
well and that I'm glad we we're

4824
02:25:49,392 --> 02:25:52,392
increasing our then Bob goals

4825
02:25:53,429 --> 02:25:54,230
Here are your emissions goals

4826
02:25:54,230 --> 02:25:54,964
and that we are putting in

4827
02:25:54,964 --> 02:25:55,665
prevailing wage because this is

4828
02:25:55,665 --> 02:25:57,967
every property So we're doing

4829
02:25:57,967 --> 02:25:58,668
everything that we should be

4830
02:25:58,668 --> 02:26:02,868
for the workers in this do in

4831
02:26:03,673 --> 02:26:04,440
the park And because of that I

4832
02:26:04,440 --> 02:26:05,174
will let it go on which council

4833
02:26:05,174 --> 02:26:08,344
policy we need to be in because

4834
02:26:08,344 --> 02:26:09,112
we're going to get to the same

4835
02:26:09,112 --> 02:26:09,712
result Anyway, I just want to

4836
02:26:09,712 --> 02:26:10,213
thank you very much for

4837
02:26:10,213 --> 02:26:12,613
the work on this.

4838
02:26:14,450 --> 02:26:15,152
I'm very, very excited to see

4839
02:26:15,152 --> 02:26:15,885
the growth of the zoo and very

4840
02:26:15,885 --> 02:26:19,485
excited for a partnership and I

4841
02:26:20,556 --> 02:26:20,957
will support the motion today.

4842
02:26:20,957 --> 02:26:21,324
Thank you.

4843
02:26:21,324 --> 02:26:21,991
All right.

4844
02:26:21,991 --> 02:26:22,325
Thank you Councilmember Bond

4845
02:26:22,325 --> 02:26:23,590
Wolpert.

4846
02:26:23,590 --> 02:26:25,628
We'll go next to council member

4847
02:26:25,628 --> 02:26:26,362
Campo Thank you Council

4848
02:26:26,362 --> 02:26:27,960
PRESIDENT Thank you to our city

4849
02:26:27,960 --> 02:26:27,764
staff for their good work today

4850
02:26:27,764 --> 02:26:30,200
and the presentation Do you

4851
02:26:30,200 --> 02:26:30,867
have a question very specific

4852
02:26:30,867 --> 02:26:31,501
question wasn't addressed in

4853
02:26:31,501 --> 02:26:35,101
any of the slides but it's

4854
02:26:35,371 --> 02:26:35,938
something that I know the zoo

4855
02:26:35,938 --> 02:26:36,706
provides as a service.

4856
02:26:36,706 --> 02:26:40,306
If there's someone from the zoo

4857
02:26:41,770 --> 02:26:44,847
that's able to answer it I know

4858
02:26:44,847 --> 02:26:45,549
that the zoo for roughly eight,

4859
02:26:45,549 --> 02:26:46,249
maybe nine years has been

4860
02:26:46,249 --> 02:26:48,649
supporting the Wounded Warrior

4861
02:26:49,552 --> 02:26:50,220
organization that allows early

4862
02:26:50,220 --> 02:26:50,787
access to the zoo for their

4863
02:26:50,787 --> 02:26:51,421
physical fitness needs

4864
02:26:51,421 --> 02:26:53,421
rehabilitation into their

4865
02:26:54,491 --> 02:26:55,225
physical trainers.

4866
02:26:55,225 --> 02:26:55,792
My hope is that this program

4867
02:26:55,792 --> 02:26:56,426
continues without any

4868
02:26:56,426 --> 02:26:58,826
additional impact to those

4869
02:27:00,196 --> 02:27:00,964
participating.

4870
02:27:00,964 --> 02:27:01,664
I know that now that there's

4871
02:27:01,664 --> 02:27:04,664
charging at the parking lot

4872
02:27:05,902 --> 02:27:06,236
that might be getting in

4873
02:27:06,236 --> 02:27:07,700
the way.

4874
02:27:07,700 --> 02:27:11,270
I see MR. Days at the at

4875
02:27:11,307 --> 02:27:12,243
the microphone.

4876
02:27:12,243 --> 02:27:12,842
MR. De Can you speak to whether

4877
02:27:12,842 --> 02:27:13,510
that program is going to

4878
02:27:13,510 --> 02:27:15,345
continue on beyond going and

4879
02:27:15,345 --> 02:27:16,790
how you plan to continue to

4880
02:27:16,790 --> 02:27:19,790
support those folks who've been

4881
02:27:19,816 --> 02:27:20,116
wounded serving in our military

4882
02:27:20,116 --> 02:27:20,750
?

4883
02:27:20,750 --> 02:27:21,451
Thank you, COUNCILMAN And

4884
02:27:21,451 --> 02:27:22,520
through the council PRESIDENT

4885
02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:22,652
Yes, we're proud of our

4886
02:27:22,652 --> 02:27:24,652
partnership with wounded

4887
02:27:25,221 --> 02:27:26,890
warriors.

4888
02:27:26,890 --> 02:27:26,690
We we have to as you heard

4889
02:27:26,690 --> 02:27:29,900
earlier, we provide free

4890
02:27:29,526 --> 02:27:30,126
admission to active duty

4891
02:27:30,126 --> 02:27:30,794
military roughly 130,000

4892
02:27:30,794 --> 02:27:34,394
members per year And such a

4893
02:27:35,165 --> 02:27:35,865
substantial benefit that we

4894
02:27:35,865 --> 02:27:36,566
want to recognize our military

4895
02:27:36,566 --> 02:27:37,233
And we're honored to work with

4896
02:27:37,233 --> 02:27:39,870
the wounded warriors and and

4897
02:27:39,870 --> 02:27:40,636
the sacrifices that they made.

4898
02:27:40,636 --> 02:27:41,338
And so we look forward after

4899
02:27:41,338 --> 02:27:43,738
today's action hopefully knock

4900
02:27:45,800 --> 02:27:45,709
on wood and we're going to work

4901
02:27:45,709 --> 02:27:46,376
very diligently with our with

4902
02:27:46,376 --> 02:27:48,945
our donors, with our team

4903
02:27:48,945 --> 02:27:49,646
members and with one way or

4904
02:27:49,646 --> 02:27:50,347
another veteran groups to make

4905
02:27:50,347 --> 02:27:53,347
sure we minimize or eliminate

4906
02:27:53,650 --> 02:27:54,150
the impact of this change as

4907
02:27:54,150 --> 02:27:54,551
soon as possible.

4908
02:27:54,551 --> 02:27:55,252
Understood.

4909
02:27:55,252 --> 02:27:55,652
I heard minimize or eliminate

4910
02:27:55,652 --> 02:27:57,652
the impact.

4911
02:27:59,569 --> 02:27:59,790
So I appreciate that that work.

4912
02:27:59,790 --> 02:28:00,323
Thank you.

4913
02:28:00,323 --> 02:28:02,323
I appreciate that.

4914
02:28:06,363 --> 02:28:07,640
This item is before us Just to

4915
02:28:07,640 --> 02:28:07,697
touch on it very briefly, I

4916
02:28:07,697 --> 02:28:08,431
know that some members of

4917
02:28:08,431 --> 02:28:11,431
the public have mentioned today

4918
02:28:12,350 --> 02:28:12,736
about the charge for parking.

4919
02:28:12,736 --> 02:28:13,470
Obviously I've been in support

4920
02:28:13,470 --> 02:28:16,340
of free parking for all people

4921
02:28:16,340 --> 02:28:17,700
and all of our ballparks since

4922
02:28:17,700 --> 02:28:17,707
day one And I still support

4923
02:28:17,707 --> 02:28:20,707
free parking today though that

4924
02:28:20,744 --> 02:28:21,211
we are talking about something

4925
02:28:21,211 --> 02:28:21,912
very different.

4926
02:28:21,912 --> 02:28:22,546
I'm securing a portion of

4927
02:28:22,546 --> 02:28:24,946
the revenue that's already

4928
02:28:26,283 --> 02:28:27,170
being collected from visitors

4929
02:28:27,170 --> 02:28:27,751
by the zoo is a reasonable step

4930
02:28:27,751 --> 02:28:31,540
for the city right now And

4931
02:28:31,540 --> 02:28:31,655
the zoo has long been one of

4932
02:28:31,655 --> 02:28:32,322
our strongest strategic

4933
02:28:32,322 --> 02:28:35,322
partners for our region and

4934
02:28:35,559 --> 02:28:36,226
it's long provided enormously

4935
02:28:36,226 --> 02:28:36,927
positive economic impact in

4936
02:28:36,927 --> 02:28:40,527
terms of tens of thousands of

4937
02:28:41,264 --> 02:28:41,999
jobs billions of dollars in

4938
02:28:41,999 --> 02:28:44,399
secondary and tertiary impacts.

4939
02:28:46,503 --> 02:28:47,205
So I'm confident that we're

4940
02:28:47,205 --> 02:28:47,804
going to continue to work well

4941
02:28:47,804 --> 02:28:50,804
together with the zoo to

4942
02:28:50,907 --> 02:28:51,608
continue to serve the public

4943
02:28:51,608 --> 02:28:52,242
And I appreciate that their

4944
02:28:52,242 --> 02:28:52,976
mission is something that

4945
02:28:52,976 --> 02:28:57,176
should be the mission of all of

4946
02:28:57,481 --> 02:28:58,282
San Diego.

4947
02:28:58,282 --> 02:28:58,582
So I will be in support of

4948
02:28:58,582 --> 02:28:59,283
that.

4949
02:28:59,283 --> 02:28:59,650
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

4950
02:28:59,650 --> 02:29:00,170
All right.

4951
02:29:00,170 --> 02:29:02,170
Thank you.

4952
02:29:02,419 --> 02:29:03,860
Council member Campo Not seeing

4953
02:29:03,860 --> 02:29:03,754
anybody else in the lights.

4954
02:29:03,754 --> 02:29:06,754
Thank you my colleagues for

4955
02:29:07,557 --> 02:29:08,580
your questions and comments.

4956
02:29:08,580 --> 02:29:08,759
Thank you.

4957
02:29:08,759 --> 02:29:09,460
Council member Bong Wolpert a

4958
02:29:09,460 --> 02:29:11,361
constant struggle to make sure

4959
02:29:11,361 --> 02:29:12,162
all our council policies

4960
02:29:12,162 --> 02:29:13,300
actually in a react and maybe

4961
02:29:13,300 --> 02:29:16,633
we can do a little bit of

4962
02:29:16,633 --> 02:29:19,633
cleanup at the next next

4963
02:29:21,238 --> 02:29:21,872
opportunity but given the in

4964
02:29:21,872 --> 02:29:22,539
the absence of caution or

4965
02:29:22,539 --> 02:29:24,939
abundance of caution that's

4966
02:29:26,210 --> 02:29:26,977
what I want to say.

4967
02:29:26,977 --> 02:29:27,678
I think I appreciate why you

4968
02:29:27,678 --> 02:29:28,780
did it but your points were

4969
02:29:28,780 --> 02:29:30,780
well taken.

4970
02:29:30,180 --> 02:29:30,781
You do have 700 hours before

4971
02:29:30,781 --> 02:29:31,381
that also speaks to that

4972
02:29:31,381 --> 02:29:33,381
ballpark in particular.

4973
02:29:34,818 --> 02:29:35,485
So with that I don't see

4974
02:29:35,485 --> 02:29:36,220
anybody else on the lights.

4975
02:29:36,220 --> 02:29:39,590
We have a motion by council

4976
02:29:39,590 --> 02:29:39,923

4977
02:29:39,923 --> 02:29:40,591

4983
02:29:48,665 --> 02:29:49,533

4990
02:30:01,979 --> 02:30:02,713

02:33:14,672 --> 02:33:15,307
projects were recommended.

5109
02:33:15,307 --> 02:33:18,307
One project has since been

5110
02:33:18,543 --> 02:33:19,210
unable to move forward.

5111
02:33:19,210 --> 02:33:19,844
The remaining three projects

5112
02:33:19,844 --> 02:33:21,844
will create 391 affordable

5113
02:33:23,415 --> 02:33:24,820

02:33:29,120 --> 02:33:29,788
of the three round six projects

5118
02:33:29,788 --> 02:33:32,788
and the only project moving

5119
02:33:33,580 --> 02:33:33,592
forward that was eligible to

5120
02:33:33,592 --> 02:33:35,592
receive cdbg funds.

5121
02:33:37,696 --> 02:33:38,396
Now we'll take a few moments to

5122
02:33:38,396 --> 02:33:38,997
provide a brief description of

5123
02:33:38,997 --> 02:33:40,997

>> The loan agreement will

5173
02:35:07,886 --> 02:35:10,286
provide a $6.65 million cdbg

5174
02:35:11,389 --> 02:35:14,389

residual receipts.

5178
02:35:18,997 --> 02:35:19,631
The city will have 55 year

5179
02:35:19,631 --> 02:35:21,631
affordability covenants on

5180
02:35:23,201 --> 02:35:23,502

5181
02:35:23,502 --> 02:35:24,203
70%.

5182
02:35:24,203 --> 02:35:24,937
Amy and the developer will be

5183
02:35:24,937 --> 02:35:27,937
applying for other sources that

5184
02:35:28,674 --> 02:35:29,374
will restrict lower units that

5185
02:35:29,374 --> 02:35:32,374
will restrict unit that lower

5186
02:35:32,845 --> 02:35:33,512
ami levels.

5187
02:35:33,512 --> 02:35:35,512
>> These tables show

5188
02:35:36,448 --> 02:35:37,315
the projected sources and uses

5189
02:35:37,315 --> 02:35:39,715
the $6.65 million city loan

5190
02:35:40,752 --> 02:35:41,353
provides approximately 70,000

5191
02:35:41,353 --> 02:35:41,687
per unit and 36,000 per

5192
02:35:41,687 --> 02:35:43,687
bedroom.

5193
02:35:45,390 --> 02:35:46,580
When leveraged with multiple

5194
02:35:46,580 --> 02:35:46,759
financing sources the total

5195
02:35:46,759 --> 02:35:47,192
project cost is approximately

5196
02:35:47,192 --> 02:35:49,192
60.3 million.

5197
02:35:50,796 --> 02:35:51,563
Please note that these sources

5198
02:35:51,563 --> 02:35:55,167
and uses of funds are based on

5199
02:35:55,167 --> 02:35:55,868
estimates and assumptions and

5200
02:35:55,868 --> 02:35:56,635
will be finalized at closing

5201
02:35:56,635 --> 02:35:59,635
once all financing sources are

5202
02:35:59,938 --> 02:36:00,506
obtained.

5203
02:36:00,506 --> 02:36:01,140
Now we will review

5204
02:36:01,140 --> 02:36:03,540
the tentative schedule for

5205
02:36:04,443 --> 02:36:05,177
the project.

5206
02:36:05,177 --> 02:36:05,812
The developer has applied for

5207
02:36:05,812 --> 02:36:08,212
tax credits with potential

5208
02:36:08,814 --> 02:36:11,814
award in MAY 2026 and if

5209
02:36:12,151 --> 02:36:12,951
successful construction could

5210
02:36:12,951 --> 02:36:13,252
begin in the fourth quarter of

5211
02:36:13,252 --> 02:36:13,886
2026.

5212
02:36:13,886 --> 02:36:16,286
The construction period is

5213
02:36:16,490 --> 02:36:16,889
anticipated to be approximately

5214
02:36:16,889 --> 02:36:18,889
26 months.

5215
02:36:22,261 --> 02:36:22,828
Staff recommends approval of

5216
02:36:22,828 --> 02:36:23,362
the requested actions

5217
02:36:23,362 --> 02:36:23,896
summarized here and

5218
02:36:23,896 --> 02:36:24,630
representatives from

5219
02:36:24,630 --> 02:36:26,865
the development team as well as

5220
02:36:26,865 --> 02:36:27,433
city staff are available to

5221
02:36:27,433 --> 02:36:27,933
respond to questions.

5222
02:36:27,933 --> 02:36:28,367
This concludes our

5223
02:36:28,367 --> 02:36:30,367
presentation.

5224
02:36:32,370 --> 02:36:32,438
Thank you.

5225
02:36:32,438 --> 02:36:33,205
All right.

5226
02:36:33,205 --> 02:36:33,839
Thank you for your good work

5227
02:36:33,839 --> 02:36:34,206
and the presentation this

5228
02:36:34,206 --> 02:36:36,206
afternoon.

5229
02:36:36,575 --> 02:36:37,430
Clerk please proceed with

5230
02:36:37,430 --> 02:36:37,743
public comment.

5231
02:36:37,743 --> 02:36:38,477
There are no speakers here in

5232
02:36:38,477 --> 02:36:41,477
council chambers going to those

5233
02:36:41,914 --> 02:36:42,582
participating remotely.

5234
02:36:42,582 --> 02:36:43,285
There are four speakers who

5235
02:36:43,285 --> 02:36:45,384
will have two minutes each

5236
02:36:45,384 --> 02:36:48,384
starting with 8700 if you can

5237
02:36:48,954 --> 02:36:49,388
please unmute after that is

5238
02:36:49,388 --> 02:36:49,755
88138 700.

5239
02:36:49,755 --> 02:36:51,755
Thank you.

5240
02:36:55,494 --> 02:36:59,940
Thank you Joyce and the other

5241
02:36:59,365 --> 02:36:59,965
394 affordable apartment.

5242
02:36:59,965 --> 02:37:01,965
30% to 70%.

5243
02:37:02,735 --> 02:37:03,102
Am I123 bedroom apartments for

5244
02:37:03,102 --> 02:37:05,102
families?

5245
02:37:08,374 --> 02:37:09,141
That's great news.

5246
02:37:09,141 --> 02:37:11,541
The 29 units are 3% pmi.

5247
02:37:12,344 --> 02:37:12,912
47 units are 50%.

5248
02:37:12,912 --> 02:37:14,912
That's middle income.

5249
02:37:20,620 --> 02:37:21,870
The total cost of the project

5250
02:37:21,870 --> 02:37:23,870
is $60,311,000.

5251
02:37:25,725 --> 02:37:29,325
Now I finally found this new

5252
02:37:30,830 --> 02:37:31,464
per unit subsidy approach

5253
02:37:31,464 --> 02:37:33,464
similarly 70,745 per unit.

5254
02:37:35,968 --> 02:37:36,636
I'm not used to the word being

5255
02:37:36,636 --> 02:37:40,236
put there with the per unit

5256
02:37:40,506 --> 02:37:40,806
cost so I need to get clear on

5257
02:37:40,806 --> 02:37:41,540
that.

5258
02:37:41,540 --> 02:37:42,275
It's probably very clear that I

5259
02:37:42,275 --> 02:37:45,275
just didn't get that word

5260
02:37:45,478 --> 02:37:46,112
subsidy but that amount of per

5261
02:37:46,112 --> 02:37:49,112
unit is pretty darn good.

5262
02:37:50,216 --> 02:37:51,830
The developer is awaiting final

5263
02:37:51,830 --> 02:37:54,683
decision for an award of tax

5264
02:37:55,421 --> 02:37:59,210
credits on MAY in MAY of 2026.

5265
02:38:00,593 --> 02:38:01,460
My fingers are crossed.

5266
02:38:01,460 --> 02:38:05,660
Also we need to receive a hud

5267
02:38:05,865 --> 02:38:06,332
hud's It's already to use

5268
02:38:06,332 --> 02:38:07,233
the grant fund.

5269
02:38:07,233 --> 02:38:10,736
I was a little afraid of that

5270
02:38:10,736 --> 02:38:11,404
but I hope that's going to come

5271
02:38:11,404 --> 02:38:14,730
easily in spite of what's

5272
02:38:14,730 --> 02:38:14,440
happening with our housing

5273
02:38:14,440 --> 02:38:16,440
situation.

5274
02:38:19,445 --> 02:38:19,846

02:38:44,938 --> 02:38:46,938
Okay got it.

5290
02:38:47,600 --> 02:38:49,600
Okay console here.

5291
02:38:51,711 --> 02:38:52,678
Yeah I just wanted to to

5292
02:38:52,678 --> 02:38:56,278
confirm that this too is just

5293
02:38:57,217 --> 02:38:59,617
another uh just another.

5294
02:39:01,154 --> 02:39:03,154
Come on now.

5295
02:39:06,326 --> 02:39:06,760
Another usually.

5296
02:39:06,760 --> 02:39:08,760
Sorry, sorry.

5297
02:39:10,763 --> 02:39:11,631
I'm grocery shopping.

5298
02:39:11,631 --> 02:39:14,631
It's just another plan for

5299
02:39:16,336 --> 02:39:16,836
the United Nations agenda for

5300
02:39:16,836 --> 02:39:17,470
the 21st century.

5301
02:39:17,470 --> 02:39:20,470
Just, you know, living in

5302
02:39:20,940 --> 02:39:21,775
the stack packs.

5303
02:39:21,775 --> 02:39:22,175
We got these things going up

5304
02:39:22,175 --> 02:39:24,175
everywhere.

5305
02:39:26,450 --> 02:39:26,713
That's all by design as well.

5306
02:39:26,713 --> 02:39:29,713
They know people living in

5307
02:39:30,683 --> 02:39:31,618
these little condensed cages.

5308
02:39:31,618 --> 02:39:35,218
You don't, uh you don't have

5309
02:39:35,689 --> 02:39:36,389
the uh the capacity capacity or

5310
02:39:36,389 --> 02:39:39,989
the desire to want to question

5311
02:39:40,927 --> 02:39:41,595
anything to want to go up

5312
02:39:41,595 --> 02:39:42,228
against anything especially

5313
02:39:42,228 --> 02:39:44,628
especially with the local

5314
02:39:45,132 --> 02:39:45,799
government is doing and

5315
02:39:45,799 --> 02:39:46,132
implementing and yeah all by

5316
02:39:46,132 --> 02:39:48,132
design.

5317
02:39:50,700 --> 02:39:50,804
So I didn't really get to

5318
02:39:50,804 --> 02:39:53,804
listen to everything about this

5319
02:39:54,741 --> 02:39:55,442
item but I just want to

5320
02:39:55,442 --> 02:39:56,176
encourage the people listening

5321
02:39:56,176 --> 02:39:59,613
in Please do your due diligence

5322
02:39:59,613 --> 02:40:00,347
and look up the United Nations

5323
02:40:00,347 --> 02:40:01,470
agenda for the 21st century

5324
02:40:01,470 --> 02:40:04,647
because we are here and living

5325
02:40:05,619 --> 02:40:06,386
in a fishbowl is a reality.

5326
02:40:06,386 --> 02:40:09,986
You know we're not getting that

5327
02:40:10,560 --> 02:40:10,757
to which are too much sugar and

5328
02:40:10,757 --> 02:40:13,493
yet that's where we're at.

5329
02:40:13,493 --> 02:40:17,930
So um yeah, that's pretty much

5330
02:40:19,650 --> 02:40:19,533
all I have.

5331
02:40:19,533 --> 02:40:20,133
Thank you.

5332
02:40:20,133 --> 02:40:22,533
Next is Blair Beckmann.

5333
02:40:27,441 --> 02:40:30,441
If you can please unmute.

5334
02:40:32,613 --> 02:40:34,613
Blair Beckmann.

5335
02:40:42,189 --> 02:40:42,756
Okay Please unmute Okay and

5336
02:40:42,756 --> 02:40:43,624
cannot unmute for you.

5337
02:40:43,624 --> 02:40:47,427
We will have to move on to

5338
02:40:47,427 --> 02:40:50,427
the next caller as callers.

5339
02:40:52,199 --> 02:40:55,435
Andrea mean if you can please

5340
02:40:55,435 --> 02:40:55,936
unmute And for Andrea Ebbing I

5341
02:40:55,936 --> 02:40:56,704
kind of neutral.

5342
02:40:56,704 --> 02:41:00,304
I do believe we need housing.

5343
02:41:01,308 --> 02:41:01,875
I wish I knew a bit more on

5344
02:41:01,875 --> 02:41:02,609
like the back end and

5345
02:41:02,609 --> 02:41:05,846
the developers and like who got

5346
02:41:05,846 --> 02:41:06,513
the kickbacks and all that

5347
02:41:06,513 --> 02:41:10,113
stuff but I wonder what how

5348
02:41:10,217 --> 02:41:10,984
it's going to impact like trash

5349
02:41:10,984 --> 02:41:13,984
fees for these multi family

5350
02:41:15,255 --> 02:41:15,622
units and what that's going to

5351
02:41:15,622 --> 02:41:17,622
look like.

5352
02:41:19,326 --> 02:41:20,600
And I also found that on

5353
02:41:20,600 --> 02:41:20,660
Transparent California somebody

5354
02:41:20,660 --> 02:41:23,600
named Kenneth a Biggers

5355
02:41:24,198 --> 02:41:24,965
District refuge collection

5356
02:41:24,965 --> 02:41:27,965
supervisor had zero in regular

5357
02:41:28,936 --> 02:41:29,736
pay but $146,000 and other pay

5358
02:41:29,736 --> 02:41:32,736
and 18,000 in overtime And he

5359
02:41:33,400 --> 02:41:33,373
made almost $300,000 with no

5360
02:41:33,373 --> 02:41:34,410
salary.

5361
02:41:34,410 --> 02:41:36,441
Kenneth, a Biggers district

5362
02:41:38,278 --> 02:41:38,612
refused collection supervisor

5363
02:41:38,612 --> 02:41:38,979
in 2024.

5364
02:41:38,979 --> 02:41:39,380
Thank you.

5365
02:41:39,380 --> 02:41:41,380
That's it.

5366
02:41:44,351 --> 02:41:45,219
Thank you.

5367
02:41:45,219 --> 02:41:46,653

02:41:46,653 --> 02:41:47,870

02:41:47,870 --> 02:41:47,788
minute timer.

5370
02:41:47,788 --> 02:41:48,355
Also concluded there were two

5371

No additional speakers will be

5373
02:41:52,226 --> 02:41:53,260

5374
02:41:53,260 --> 02:41:53,460

Yes thank you.

5378
02:41:56,864 --> 02:41:57,564
MADAM City Clerk, could you

on the screen for us to speak

5381
02:42:02,503 --> 02:42:02,903
to which item it is that we are

5382
02:42:02,903 --> 02:42:04,903
addressing?

5383
02:42:09,100 --> 02:42:09,977
Sorry it is item as 401

5384
02:42:09,977 --> 02:42:13,577
according to the screen that is

5385
02:42:14,415 --> 02:42:15,282
the Zoological Society.

5386
02:42:15,282 --> 02:42:15,983
My apologies it is items 401 we

5387
02:42:15,983 --> 02:42:19,286
will bring it down but if you

5388
02:42:19,286 --> 02:42:20,200
can please focus on the timer.

5389
02:42:20,200 --> 02:42:20,721
My apologies Items for one is

5390
02:42:20,721 --> 02:42:23,721
the approval of an affordable

5391
02:42:24,325 --> 02:42:25,250
housing cdbg loan agreement

5392
02:42:25,250 --> 02:42:25,426
with the Community Realization

5393
02:42:25,426 --> 02:42:26,930
department.

5394
02:42:26,930 --> 02:42:26,660
If you can make please make

5395
02:42:26,660 --> 02:42:28,762
your comments to that.

5396
02:42:28,762 --> 02:42:29,130
I apologize and we'll have that

5397
02:42:29,130 --> 02:42:29,563
corrected.

5398
02:42:29,563 --> 02:42:29,930
>> All right.

5399
02:42:29,930 --> 02:42:31,930
Thank you.

5400
02:42:33,434 --> 02:42:34,168
i appreciate any time

5401
02:42:34,168 --> 02:42:37,168
Developers are willing to build

5402
02:42:37,905 --> 02:42:38,673
affordable housing and take

5403
02:42:38,673 --> 02:42:39,140
the step of doing so using tax

5404
02:42:39,140 --> 02:42:41,140
credit programs.

5405
02:42:43,210 --> 02:42:43,777
It is it is challenging as I

5406
02:42:43,777 --> 02:42:44,512
learned when I chaired

5407
02:42:44,512 --> 02:42:46,912
the Assembly Housing Committee,

5408
02:42:47,715 --> 02:42:48,282
it is difficult to find

5409
02:42:48,282 --> 02:42:49,160
developers who are in

5410
02:42:49,160 --> 02:42:52,420
the position to do that type of

5411
02:42:52,420 --> 02:42:53,120
a development and count on

5412
02:42:53,120 --> 02:42:56,120
the credits coming forward and

5413
02:42:57,558 --> 02:42:58,259
especially difficult given our

5414
02:42:58,259 --> 02:42:58,893
current economic outlook both

5415
02:42:58,893 --> 02:43:01,893
long term and short term.

5416
02:43:02,496 --> 02:43:05,496
So we desperately need housing.

5417
02:43:06,901 --> 02:43:07,635
I would prefer that we free up

5418
02:43:07,635 --> 02:43:08,302
housing that is currently being

5419
02:43:08,302 --> 02:43:11,302
used for short term rentals.

5420
02:43:11,305 --> 02:43:12,390
I think that in addition to

5421
02:43:12,390 --> 02:43:12,707
building housing and affordable

5422
02:43:12,707 --> 02:43:16,307
housing we also need to make

5423
02:43:16,844 --> 02:43:17,578
sure every house that was

5424
02:43:17,578 --> 02:43:18,279
approved under my committee and

5425
02:43:18,279 --> 02:43:20,679
subsequent committees as part

5426
02:43:21,715 --> 02:43:22,383
of our regional housing needs

5427
02:43:22,383 --> 02:43:23,840
assessment is being used for

5428
02:43:23,840 --> 02:43:26,840
regional housing and not for

5429
02:43:27,221 --> 02:43:27,555
temporary re hotel types of

5430
02:43:27,555 --> 02:43:29,555
lodging.

5431
02:43:31,425 --> 02:43:32,226
So I speak strongly in support.

5432
02:43:32,226 --> 02:43:32,793
I appreciate the developer for

5433
02:43:32,793 --> 02:43:34,793
taking this position.

5434
02:43:36,264 --> 02:43:36,964
I hope that all federal funds

5435
02:43:36,964 --> 02:43:39,964
and tax credits continue to

5436
02:43:40,935 --> 02:43:41,602
support this type of

5437
02:43:41,602 --> 02:43:42,270
development and I encourage

5438
02:43:42,270 --> 02:43:45,973
the city to do its part and

5439
02:43:45,973 --> 02:43:46,641
make sure that every housing

5440
02:43:46,641 --> 02:43:49,641
unit that's been built with

5441
02:43:50,110 --> 02:43:50,678
the understanding it would be

5442
02:43:50,678 --> 02:43:51,279
affordable or that it would

5443
02:43:51,279 --> 02:43:53,679
simply be available for

5444
02:43:54,682 --> 02:43:55,283
permanent residential use is in

5445
02:43:55,283 --> 02:43:55,950
fact being used for that

5446
02:43:55,950 --> 02:43:56,684
purpose because as it stands

5447
02:43:56,684 --> 02:44:00,210
now we know that is not

5448
02:44:00,210 --> 02:44:00,721
the case and we will never

5449
02:44:00,721 --> 02:44:03,357
catch up with our housing need

5450
02:44:03,357 --> 02:44:04,250
Despite the good work of

5451
02:44:04,250 --> 02:44:04,892
developers such as this one.

5452
02:44:04,892 --> 02:44:07,892
If you don't also enforce

5453
02:44:09,230 --> 02:44:12,230
permanent housing as you add

5454
02:44:13,568 --> 02:44:14,302
more units whether it's a use

5455
02:44:14,302 --> 02:44:17,302
or other housing that's being

5456
02:44:18,441 --> 02:44:19,140
pushed forward if those are not

5457
02:44:19,140 --> 02:44:19,808
inspected regularly to ensure

5458
02:44:19,808 --> 02:44:23,408
that they are being used for

5459
02:44:23,411 --> 02:44:24,780
full time housing projects like

5460
02:44:24,780 --> 02:44:27,780
this are admirable but they

5461
02:44:28,516 --> 02:44:29,830
will never close the gap that

5462
02:44:29,830 --> 02:44:29,717
we need for addressing

5463
02:44:29,717 --> 02:44:32,117
homelessness in San Diego.

5464
02:44:33,955 --> 02:44:34,422
Thank you.

5465
02:44:34,422 --> 02:44:35,900
>> Thank you.

5466
02:44:35,900 --> 02:44:35,389
Our final speaker is John

5467
02:44:35,389 --> 02:44:37,389
Stump.

5468
02:44:39,160 --> 02:44:40,128
If you can please unmute again

5469
02:44:40,128 --> 02:44:40,728
this is let him ask for a one

5470
02:44:40,728 --> 02:44:41,620
approval the affordable

5471
02:44:41,620 --> 02:44:41,562
housing.

5472
02:44:41,562 --> 02:44:43,531
>> Please proceed.

5473
02:44:43,531 --> 02:44:44,265
Like to follow Laurie so danger

5474
02:44:44,265 --> 02:44:47,865
because she picks up stuff that

5475
02:44:48,102 --> 02:44:52,302
I wanted to say and of course

5476
02:44:52,440 --> 02:44:53,207
it's showing the Zoom lease

5477
02:44:53,207 --> 02:44:56,207
still and we understand little

5478
02:44:57,378 --> 02:45:00,378
mistakes happen So my questions

5479
02:45:01,516 --> 02:45:02,317
on this are dealing with

5480
02:45:02,317 --> 02:45:04,717
climate change and particularly

5481
02:45:07,221 --> 02:45:10,221
symbolic Is this project going

5482
02:45:11,659 --> 02:45:12,593
to be a zombie project?

5483
02:45:12,593 --> 02:45:16,193
And secondly I hope there's no

5484
02:45:16,965 --> 02:45:19,965
parking being provided If this

5485
02:45:21,570 --> 02:45:22,304
is a project it should be

5486
02:45:22,304 --> 02:45:25,904
transit oriented and the way to

5487
02:45:26,400 --> 02:45:26,741
make sure people use transit is

5488
02:45:26,741 --> 02:45:29,141
not to provide subsidized

5489
02:45:30,612 --> 02:45:31,647
parking.

5490
02:45:31,647 --> 02:45:35,784
So I hope this project does not

5491
02:45:35,784 --> 02:45:38,184
include subsidized parking is

5492
02:45:40,822 --> 02:45:43,822
totally Zumba and the workers

5493
02:45:44,859 --> 02:45:45,560
at the housing project you know

5494
02:45:45,560 --> 02:45:48,560
the janitors, the manager etc.

5495
02:45:50,265 --> 02:45:50,732
All meet or exceed the city's

5496
02:45:50,732 --> 02:45:52,732
wage standards.

5497
02:45:54,636 --> 02:45:55,360
Thank you.

5498
02:45:55,360 --> 02:45:55,703
Thank you.

5499
02:45:55,703 --> 02:45:56,710
Thank you again for pointing

5500
02:45:56,710 --> 02:45:56,805
that out.

5501
02:45:56,805 --> 02:45:59,975
We will be sure to triple check

5502
02:45:59,975 --> 02:46:00,709
our slides next time and that

5503
02:46:00,709 --> 02:46:01,750
does conclude public comment on

5504
02:46:01,750 --> 02:46:01,443
this item.

5505
02:46:01,443 --> 02:46:03,443
All right.

5506
02:46:04,579 --> 02:46:05,447
Thank you MADAM City Clerk.

5507
02:46:05,447 --> 02:46:06,181
And with that we will go to

5508
02:46:06,181 --> 02:46:06,715
the council member representing

5509
02:46:06,715 --> 02:46:08,715
District three where

5510
02:46:09,484 --> 02:46:10,118
the projects located Council

5511
02:46:10,118 --> 02:46:10,852
member Whitburn Thank you

5512
02:46:10,852 --> 02:46:13,852
Council PRESIDENT Big thank you

5513
02:46:14,723 --> 02:46:15,156
to the team for all the work on

5514
02:46:15,156 --> 02:46:15,824
this project.

5515
02:46:15,824 --> 02:46:19,394
This housing is going to be

5516
02:46:19,394 --> 02:46:20,262
close to grocery stores.

5517
02:46:20,262 --> 02:46:23,862
It'll be close to schools right

5518
02:46:24,499 --> 02:46:25,167
up the street from transit a

5519
02:46:25,167 --> 02:46:25,867
block away from the incoming

5520
02:46:25,867 --> 02:46:28,267
Pride promenade The project's

5521
02:46:29,704 --> 02:46:30,338
going to add to 94 truly

5522
02:46:30,338 --> 02:46:32,738
affordable homes and that

5523
02:46:33,909 --> 02:46:37,412
includes a great mix of 33 one

5524
02:46:37,412 --> 02:46:38,800
bedrooms, 33 two bedrooms, 23

5525
02:46:38,800 --> 02:46:41,800
bedrooms that will allow for

5526
02:46:42,150 --> 02:46:42,851
families of all sizes with all

5527
02:46:42,851 --> 02:46:43,351
kinds of great amenities right

5528
02:46:43,351 --> 02:46:45,751
in the area there.

5529
02:46:47,756 --> 02:46:48,457
So again, thank you for this

5530
02:46:48,457 --> 02:46:48,957
and I will make the motion to

5531
02:46:48,957 --> 02:46:49,424
approve the staff

5532
02:46:49,424 --> 02:46:49,791
recommendation.

5533
02:46:49,791 --> 02:46:51,791
All right.

5534
02:46:53,610 --> 02:46:53,929
Thank you, gentlemen.

5535
02:46:53,929 --> 02:46:54,630
So we have that motion to move.

5536
02:46:54,630 --> 02:46:55,297
The staff recommendation will

5537
02:46:55,297 --> 02:46:57,299
go next to council member

5538
02:46:57,299 --> 02:46:58,266
Campbell.

5539
02:46:58,266 --> 02:47:01,866
Thank you and thank you for

5540
02:47:01,870 --> 02:47:02,471
the presentation for all

5541
02:47:02,471 --> 02:47:03,238
the hard work on this.

5542
02:47:03,238 --> 02:47:03,572
I am really excited about this

5543
02:47:03,572 --> 02:47:05,572
project.

5544
02:47:06,475 --> 02:47:07,242
It adds a great beautiful

5545
02:47:07,242 --> 02:47:10,842
building to an area that is

5546
02:47:11,580 --> 02:47:14,580
just alive with promise and

5547
02:47:16,285 --> 02:47:16,985
will provide a great deal of a

5548
02:47:16,985 --> 02:47:19,985
great deal of cultural and

5549
02:47:20,956 --> 02:47:21,823
cultural availability to those

5550
02:47:21,823 --> 02:47:22,624
who move in to there And I'm

5551
02:47:22,624 --> 02:47:25,624
sure they will add to

5552
02:47:26,228 --> 02:47:26,995
the neighborhood as well.

5553
02:47:26,995 --> 02:47:27,663
And so I'm quite excited and

5554
02:47:27,663 --> 02:47:30,663
happy to second this motion.

5555
02:47:30,866 --> 02:47:31,466
Thank you.

5556
02:47:31,466 --> 02:47:32,101
>> All right.

5557
02:47:32,101 --> 02:47:32,467
Thank you, Council member

5558
02:47:32,467 --> 02:47:33,168
Campbell.

5559
02:47:33,168 --> 02:47:36,380
So we have a motion by Council

5560
02:47:36,380 --> 02:47:36,772
member Whitburn, a second by

5561
02:47:36,772 --> 02:47:37,406
Council member Campbell to move

5562
02:47:37,406 --> 02:47:39,406
the staff recommendation.

5563
02:47:40,910 --> 02:47:41,310
We'll go next to Council member

5564
02:47:41,310 --> 02:47:41,777
Eli Rivera.

5565
02:47:41,777 --> 02:47:42,477
All right.

5566
02:47:42,477 --> 02:47:42,845
Thank you so much Council

5567
02:47:42,845 --> 02:47:44,845
PRESIDENT.

5568
02:47:45,614 --> 02:47:46,215
Thanks for the presentation and

5569
02:47:46,215 --> 02:47:46,815
all the work on this.

5570
02:47:46,815 --> 02:47:48,815
I definitely appreciate

5571
02:47:50,652 --> 02:47:51,200
the comments made by COUNCILMAN

5572
02:47:51,200 --> 02:47:51,720
Whitburn.

5573
02:47:51,720 --> 02:47:52,870
The mix of bedrooms I think is

5574
02:47:52,870 --> 02:47:54,870
fantastic.

5575
02:47:55,624 --> 02:47:55,924
That's a really, really good

5576
02:47:55,924 --> 02:47:56,492
sign.

5577
02:47:56,492 --> 02:47:58,892
The three bedrooms in

5578
02:48:00,963 --> 02:48:01,730
particular we're seen I think a

5579
02:48:01,730 --> 02:48:02,498
little bit more often now and I

5580
02:48:02,498 --> 02:48:05,498
think that's a product of

5581
02:48:05,534 --> 02:48:05,934
asking to see that a little bit

5582
02:48:05,934 --> 02:48:06,702
more often.

5583
02:48:06,702 --> 02:48:10,305
So thank you for doing the work

5584
02:48:10,305 --> 02:48:11,440
to make sure that that happens.

5585
02:48:11,440 --> 02:48:15,244
I did want to take a moment to

5586
02:48:15,244 --> 02:48:15,978
acknowledge COUNCILMAN Weprin

5587
02:48:15,978 --> 02:48:16,612
actually for you know obviously

5588
02:48:16,612 --> 02:48:19,120
you've been supportive of

5589
02:48:19,248 --> 02:48:20,115
housing since you got here.

5590
02:48:20,115 --> 02:48:23,252
I ride through your district on

5591
02:48:23,252 --> 02:48:27,452
the way to work on a regular

5592
02:48:28,624 --> 02:48:32,224
basis and the amount of housing

5593
02:48:32,962 --> 02:48:33,629
that District three is is is

5594
02:48:33,629 --> 02:48:36,290
absorbing bringing online in

5595
02:48:37,633 --> 02:48:38,301
Hillcrest in particular is

5596
02:48:38,301 --> 02:48:41,301
pretty astounding And I know

5597
02:48:42,400 --> 02:48:42,604
that doesn't come I know that

5598
02:48:42,604 --> 02:48:43,306
the while many neighbors

5599
02:48:43,306 --> 02:48:46,906
welcome it others don't and i

5600
02:48:47,142 --> 02:48:47,743
appreciate you staying

5601
02:48:47,743 --> 02:48:48,344
committed to that effort

5602
02:48:48,344 --> 02:48:51,344
because I mean there are

5603
02:48:52,314 --> 02:48:53,480
thousands more homes for folks

5604
02:48:53,480 --> 02:48:57,248
in in the community as a result

5605
02:48:57,252 --> 02:48:57,753
of that And as you said,

5606
02:48:57,753 --> 02:48:59,753
transit oriented.

5607
02:49:01,891 --> 02:49:02,591
We've invested a lot in making

5608
02:49:02,591 --> 02:49:04,991
walking and biking more

5609
02:49:06,462 --> 02:49:09,462
accessible in the community as

5610
02:49:12,401 --> 02:49:12,835
well And parking fees are twice

5611
02:49:12,835 --> 02:49:14,835
the 23 spots.

5612
02:49:16,500 --> 02:49:18,500
So some 22 sorry.

5613
02:49:19,942 --> 02:49:20,643
So there's some but not one per

5614
02:49:20,643 --> 02:49:24,243
unit and folks will know that

5615
02:49:24,246 --> 02:49:24,947
as they have the opportunity to

5616
02:49:24,947 --> 02:49:25,781
to move in there.

5617
02:49:25,781 --> 02:49:29,485
I did have one question and if

5618
02:49:29,485 --> 02:49:30,252
I missed this I apologize.

5619
02:49:30,252 --> 02:49:30,953
I see the subsidy per unit

5620
02:49:30,953 --> 02:49:31,621
which I appreciate We're below

5621
02:49:31,621 --> 02:49:34,210
that hundred thousand dollar

5622
02:49:34,357 --> 02:49:35,580
guidance threshold Do the cost

5623
02:49:35,580 --> 02:49:35,591
per bedroom I know you all

5624
02:49:35,591 --> 02:49:37,591
started doing that.

5625
02:49:38,561 --> 02:49:38,828
I might have just again missed

5626
02:49:38,828 --> 02:49:40,828
it.

5627
02:49:41,999 --> 02:49:42,865
The total cost per apartment is

5628
02:49:42,865 --> 02:49:45,865
635,000 and the total cost per

5629
02:49:46,268 --> 02:49:46,669
bedroom is 326,000.

5630
02:49:46,669 --> 02:49:47,436
Thank you.

5631
02:49:47,436 --> 02:49:50,907
And again I think that's super

5632
02:49:50,907 --> 02:49:51,607
important to to note because so

5633
02:49:51,607 --> 02:49:54,607
often in critiquing the way

5634
02:49:56,450 --> 02:49:56,779
the city is is subsidizing and

5635
02:49:56,779 --> 02:49:59,779
investing in housing, all homes

5636
02:50:00,783 --> 02:50:01,384
are treated the same and all

5637
02:50:01,384 --> 02:50:02,840
homes are not the same.

5638
02:50:02,840 --> 02:50:05,840
Those three bedroom homes are

5639
02:50:05,354 --> 02:50:05,922
going to, you know, have 4 or 5

5640
02:50:05,922 --> 02:50:06,723
folks living in them.

5641
02:50:06,723 --> 02:50:10,426
So when you break that down on

5642
02:50:10,426 --> 02:50:11,127
a per person basis, we're

5643
02:50:11,127 --> 02:50:11,561
getting an even even more bang

5644
02:50:11,561 --> 02:50:13,561
for our buck.

5645
02:50:15,932 --> 02:50:16,666
So this is excellent use of

5646
02:50:16,666 --> 02:50:19,666
the resources in my estimation.

5647
02:50:20,937 --> 02:50:21,638
Again, thank you to staff for

5648
02:50:21,638 --> 02:50:22,338
the work on this and thank you

5649
02:50:22,338 --> 02:50:22,972
Council member Brant Thank you

5650
02:50:22,972 --> 02:50:25,541
Got the resident All right

5651
02:50:25,541 --> 02:50:26,242
Thank you Council member Rivera

5652
02:50:26,242 --> 02:50:26,876
And we'll go next to Council

5653
02:50:26,876 --> 02:50:27,543
member Hemphill Thank you

5654
02:50:27,543 --> 02:50:29,679
Council PRESIDENT Thank you

5655
02:50:29,679 --> 02:50:30,446
staff for your work on this.

5656
02:50:30,446 --> 02:50:31,147
I want to call attention to

5657
02:50:31,147 --> 02:50:34,717
the fact that these are these

5658
02:50:34,717 --> 02:50:35,418
units will be built within a

5659
02:50:35,418 --> 02:50:36,119
state of California designated

5660
02:50:36,119 --> 02:50:38,755
highest resource area As folks

5661
02:50:38,755 --> 02:50:39,455
have heard me speak on numerous

5662
02:50:39,455 --> 02:50:40,560
occasions about affirmatively

5663
02:50:40,560 --> 02:50:42,560
furthering fair housing,

5664
02:50:43,660 --> 02:50:44,260
getting rent restricted units

5665
02:50:44,260 --> 02:50:44,927
that will be guaranteed

5666
02:50:44,927 --> 02:50:47,927
affordable with the depth of

5667
02:50:48,431 --> 02:50:49,165
affordability that this shows

5668
02:50:49,165 --> 02:50:49,766
in our highest resource area is

5669
02:50:49,766 --> 02:50:51,766
particularly difficult.

5670
02:50:53,370 --> 02:50:54,300
I know that the staff report

5671
02:50:54,300 --> 02:50:56,403
doesn't necessarily have a

5672
02:50:58,410 --> 02:50:58,675
subheading that says how does

5673
02:50:58,675 --> 02:50:59,342
this affirmatively for for

5674
02:50:59,342 --> 02:50:59,976
housing maybe in the future

5675
02:50:59,976 --> 02:51:02,812
will go in that direction?

5676
02:51:02,812 --> 02:51:03,580
I know I've asked for that and

5677
02:51:03,580 --> 02:51:04,280
other types of things but I

5678
02:51:04,280 --> 02:51:05,810
just wanted to point that out

5679
02:51:05,810 --> 02:51:08,384
because that continues to be a

5680
02:51:08,384 --> 02:51:09,520
very high priority for me

5681
02:51:09,520 --> 02:51:09,786
something that we need to do

5682
02:51:09,786 --> 02:51:13,386
and are legally obligated to do

5683
02:51:13,523 --> 02:51:14,224
So thank you for putting this

5684
02:51:14,224 --> 02:51:14,924
through At the second question

5685
02:51:14,924 --> 02:51:17,924
actually the first question I

5686
02:51:18,194 --> 02:51:18,862
have for you is is this a

5687
02:51:18,862 --> 02:51:21,262
project that received quote

5688
02:51:23,333 --> 02:51:24,670
unquote bonus points or extra

5689
02:51:24,670 --> 02:51:24,801
consideration for the fact that

5690
02:51:24,801 --> 02:51:27,737
it's in highest resource or are

5691
02:51:27,737 --> 02:51:28,204
we not yet implementing that

5692
02:51:28,204 --> 02:51:28,938
just quite yet?

5693
02:51:28,938 --> 02:51:29,672
I know you've said you're going

5694
02:51:29,672 --> 02:51:32,750
to but I'm wondering if this is

5695
02:51:32,750 --> 02:51:32,876
one of those projects this is

5696
02:51:32,876 --> 02:51:33,610
one of those projects Round six

5697
02:51:33,610 --> 02:51:34,311
was the start of where we began

5698
02:51:34,311 --> 02:51:37,311
to award bonus points for

5699
02:51:37,647 --> 02:51:38,314
moderate, high and highest

5700
02:51:38,314 --> 02:51:39,150
resourced area projects And

5701
02:51:39,150 --> 02:51:41,751
this is one of those projects

5702
02:51:41,751 --> 02:51:42,619
understood.

5703
02:51:42,619 --> 02:51:42,919
Well thank you very much for

5704
02:51:42,919 --> 02:51:44,919
that.

5705
02:51:46,322 --> 02:51:47,157
As I look through the rest of

5706
02:51:47,157 --> 02:51:47,991
this, I just I do appreciate

5707
02:51:47,991 --> 02:51:50,994
that it has a depth of

5708
02:51:50,994 --> 02:51:51,962
affordability of 30 to 70%.

5709
02:51:51,962 --> 02:51:52,829
Am I that is that is hard to

5710
02:51:52,829 --> 02:51:55,866
get in a highest resource area

5711
02:51:55,866 --> 02:51:56,199
So thank you for your good work

5712
02:51:56,199 --> 02:51:56,766
on this.

5713
02:51:56,766 --> 02:51:57,133
I will be in support.

5714
02:51:57,133 --> 02:51:57,834
All right.

5715
02:51:57,834 --> 02:52:00,234
Thank you Councilmember Campo.

5716
02:52:01,237 --> 02:52:01,938
Not see anybody else and lights

5717
02:52:01,938 --> 02:52:02,605
off or a couple of comments.

5718
02:52:02,605 --> 02:52:03,273
Councilmember Whitburn, you

5719
02:52:03,273 --> 02:52:05,241
failed to mention that it is

5720
02:52:05,241 --> 02:52:06,900
across the street from the dmv

5721
02:52:06,900 --> 02:52:09,609
So that's just a bonus for

5722
02:52:09,713 --> 02:52:10,580
those folks.

5723
02:52:10,580 --> 02:52:11,347
On a more serious note, I know

5724
02:52:11,347 --> 02:52:14,651
we have big plans to revitalize

5725
02:52:14,651 --> 02:52:15,850
that property and it's big

5726
02:52:15,850 --> 02:52:15,819
parking lots.

5727
02:52:15,819 --> 02:52:18,819
Thank you for the presentation.

5728
02:52:19,523 --> 02:52:20,223
The good work that you do

5729
02:52:20,223 --> 02:52:20,757
consistently in managing this

5730
02:52:20,757 --> 02:52:22,757
process, evaluating

5731
02:52:23,760 --> 02:52:24,427
the proposals that come in and

5732
02:52:24,427 --> 02:52:25,610
and the strict adherence to

5733
02:52:25,610 --> 02:52:27,461
the guidelines in picking

5734
02:52:28,198 --> 02:52:28,932
the project that come forward.

5735
02:52:28,932 --> 02:52:29,499
There were a couple of things

5736
02:52:29,499 --> 02:52:31,899
that were mentioned by

5737
02:52:33,236 --> 02:52:33,637
the public that I want to touch

5738
02:52:33,637 --> 02:52:34,604
on.

5739
02:52:34,604 --> 02:52:38,204
One it was not included in

5740
02:52:39,209 --> 02:52:39,813
the presentation but I do want

5741
02:52:39,813 --> 02:52:40,444
to mention that it is

5742
02:52:40,444 --> 02:52:42,444
incorporating sustainable

5743
02:52:43,180 --> 02:52:43,880
development features including

5744
02:52:43,880 --> 02:52:44,514
rooftop solar energy efficient

5745
02:52:44,514 --> 02:52:46,914
lighting and all electric

5746
02:52:48,351 --> 02:52:49,860
energy star rating appliances.

5747
02:52:49,860 --> 02:52:49,753
Then Bob does not apply to

5748
02:52:49,753 --> 02:52:52,153
private projects like this.

5749
02:52:52,890 --> 02:52:53,557
It applies to city buildings

5750
02:52:53,557 --> 02:52:56,557
and city owned property But

5751
02:52:57,828 --> 02:52:58,528
clearly they are actually even

5752
02:52:58,528 --> 02:53:01,528
exceeding the standard that we

5753
02:53:02,866 --> 02:53:03,166
would be able to impose on them

5754
02:53:03,166 --> 02:53:04,340
.

5755
02:53:04,340 --> 02:53:04,868
So I want to make note of that.

5756
02:53:04,868 --> 02:53:08,500
There was also some sort of

5757
02:53:08,500 --> 02:53:08,672
implication that on the arena

5758
02:53:08,672 --> 02:53:09,272
numbers I think we're doing

5759
02:53:09,272 --> 02:53:11,672
fine with above moderate

5760
02:53:13,343 --> 02:53:13,744
housing in meeting our

5761
02:53:13,744 --> 02:53:14,511
obligations.

5762
02:53:14,511 --> 02:53:18,150
This of course is more of our

5763
02:53:18,150 --> 02:53:18,782
below market housing.

5764
02:53:18,782 --> 02:53:22,382
If anybody has any idea that

5765
02:53:23,120 --> 02:53:23,836
any any property that is under

5766
02:53:23,836 --> 02:53:26,236
contract for affordability is

5767
02:53:27,424 --> 02:53:27,891
not using it for housing please

5768
02:53:27,891 --> 02:53:28,559
like my office?

5769
02:53:28,559 --> 02:53:31,895
No, I think all the council

5770
02:53:31,895 --> 02:53:32,963
would want to know about that.

5771
02:53:32,963 --> 02:53:33,597
So I don't want there to be any

5772
02:53:33,597 --> 02:53:35,997
confusion out there above

5773
02:53:36,567 --> 02:53:37,267
moderate That's a different

5774
02:53:37,267 --> 02:53:37,868
conversation we don't seem to

5775
02:53:37,868 --> 02:53:40,268
have again any challenge

5776
02:53:41,710 --> 02:53:41,738
meeting arena numbers for above

5777
02:53:41,738 --> 02:53:44,738
moderate But that's not what

5778
02:53:46,276 --> 02:53:46,877
we're talking about here So I

5779
02:53:46,877 --> 02:53:47,211
know it's a complicated

5780
02:53:47,211 --> 02:53:47,811
process.

5781
02:53:47,811 --> 02:53:50,514
The capital stack is for

5782
02:53:50,514 --> 02:53:51,315
something that is so desperate

5783
02:53:51,315 --> 02:53:52,490
it continues to be a challenge

5784
02:53:52,490 --> 02:53:55,452
but we do our part moving it

5785
02:53:55,452 --> 02:53:55,853
forward So I will be in support

5786
02:53:55,853 --> 02:53:56,720
as well.

5787
02:53:56,720 --> 02:53:59,890
And as a reminder we have a

5788
02:53:59,890 --> 02:53:59,690
motion by Councilmember

5789
02:53:59,690 --> 02:54:00,291
Whitburn, the second by

5790
02:54:00,291 --> 02:54:02,291
Councilmember Campbell.

5791
02:54:04,161 --> 02:54:04,862

these items forward to us.

5801
02:54:18,942 --> 02:54:19,576
With that we will now take up

5802
02:54:19,576 --> 02:54:21,976
non agenda public comment

5803
02:54:23,500 --> 02:54:23,781

PRESIDENT Of La Hoya Town

Council trying to get ahead of

02:55:14,965 --> 02:55:17,965
tomorrow night La Hoya Town

5841
02:55:19,360 --> 02:55:19,637
Council sent out the mayor's

5842
02:55:19,637 --> 02:55:21,637
resident budget survey

5843
02:55:23,874 --> 02:55:24,575
the response and consistent

5844
02:55:24,575 --> 02:55:27,575
response from the community is

5845
02:55:28,646 --> 02:55:29,347
that the survey focused on

5846
02:55:29,347 --> 02:55:31,747
the city eliminating services

5847
02:55:34,510 --> 02:55:34,352
It isn't what people want to

5848
02:55:34,352 --> 02:55:36,352
hear.

5849
02:55:38,690 --> 02:55:39,390
Maintenance cuts, public

5850
02:55:39,390 --> 02:55:41,390

5851
02:55:43,894 --> 02:55:46,894

Clarity is appreciated in some

of these areas.

concrete or slurry feel?

5869
02:56:32,409 --> 02:56:35,409
How are the streets selected

5870
02:56:36,681 --> 02:56:38,681
bikes Facilities 88.6 million.

5871
02:56:41,352 --> 02:56:42,530
I'm sure you all have heard

5872
02:56:42,530 --> 02:56:45,530
questioning on the bike lanes

5873
02:56:45,823 --> 02:56:46,424
that don't seem to justify

5874
02:56:46,424 --> 02:56:49,424
the expense last year to

5875
02:56:51,129 --> 02:56:51,830
the amount of users Bike lanes

5876
02:56:51,830 --> 02:56:55,430
on Convoy Street has been a

5877
02:56:56,167 --> 02:56:56,901
discussion among stranger is in

5878
02:56:56,901 --> 02:56:59,901
line for their favorite eatery.

5879
02:57:00,539 --> 02:57:01,239
Strangers in line can't

5880
02:57:01,239 --> 02:57:03,639
understand why parking spaces

5881
02:57:06,440 --> 02:57:09,644
were taken away for bike lanes

5882
02:57:10,381 --> 02:57:10,748
in cop in convoy Thank you.

5883
02:57:10,748 --> 02:57:11,449
Thank you.

5884
02:57:11,449 --> 02:57:12,150
That does conclude our public

5885
02:57:12,150 --> 02:57:15,530
knowledge and a public common

5886
02:57:15,530 --> 02:57:15,654
hearing Council chambers so I

5887
02:57:15,654 --> 02:57:16,254
will be going to those

5888
02:57:16,254 --> 02:57:18,254
participating remotely.

5889
02:57:19,557 --> 02:57:19,891
Five minute timer has been

5890
02:57:19,891 --> 02:57:20,458
placed.

5891
02:57:20,458 --> 02:57:20,825
We have 12 speakers in

5892
02:57:20,825 --> 02:57:22,825
the queue.

5893
02:57:24,162 --> 02:57:24,496
Blair Beckman if you can please

5894
02:57:24,496 --> 02:57:24,996
unmute.

5895
02:57:24,996 --> 02:57:25,697
>> All right.

5896
02:57:25,697 --> 02:57:26,640
Fred Beckman can you hear me

5897
02:57:26,640 --> 02:57:28,640
this time?

5898
02:57:28,666 --> 02:57:29,133
Yes we can.

5899
02:57:29,133 --> 02:57:29,868
Please proceed.

5900
02:57:29,868 --> 02:57:30,401
Yeah I had a problem with my

5901
02:57:30,401 --> 02:57:32,801
zoom all day today.

5902
02:57:33,405 --> 02:57:33,905
I couldn't for public comment.

5903
02:57:33,905 --> 02:57:34,672
I'm really sorry.

5904
02:57:34,672 --> 02:57:38,272
Thank you for taking my public

5905
02:57:38,443 --> 02:57:39,277
comment at this time.

5906
02:57:39,277 --> 02:57:39,944
I wish you could have come back

5907
02:57:39,944 --> 02:57:40,578
around for me previously but

5908
02:57:40,578 --> 02:57:40,879
thank you for the meeting

5909
02:57:40,879 --> 02:57:42,879
today.

5910
02:57:42,881 --> 02:57:43,650
Informative.

5911
02:57:43,650 --> 02:57:44,349
I think it's been a pretty

5912
02:57:44,349 --> 02:57:47,719
tough weekend for all of us.

5913
02:57:47,719 --> 02:57:48,520
We're learning the events of us

5914
02:57:48,520 --> 02:57:52,120
continual war at this time and

5915
02:57:52,691 --> 02:57:53,258
how we have to be thinking

5916
02:57:53,258 --> 02:57:55,258
around subject matter.

5917
02:57:57,495 --> 02:57:58,196
I think it's really important

5918
02:57:58,196 --> 02:57:58,930
that the work we be doing at

5919
02:57:58,930 --> 02:58:02,000
the local level we continue our

5920
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:02,868
good efforts.

5921
02:58:02,868 --> 02:58:03,501
I think we really know how to

5922
02:58:03,501 --> 02:58:06,501
talk about peace to create

5923
02:58:07,505 --> 02:58:08,173
peace and sustainable liberty

5924
02:58:08,173 --> 02:58:11,773
at the local level and those

5925
02:58:11,876 --> 02:58:12,577
good examples that you know,

5926
02:58:12,577 --> 02:58:13,278
our national and international

5927
02:58:13,278 --> 02:58:16,681
level needs from us right now

5928
02:58:16,681 --> 02:58:17,480
they need to see best

5929
02:58:17,480 --> 02:58:17,782
practices.

5930
02:58:17,782 --> 02:58:21,553
They need to see what we do

5931
02:58:21,553 --> 02:58:22,220
well and what is our good

5932
02:58:22,220 --> 02:58:22,921
thinking and not our fearful

5933
02:58:22,921 --> 02:58:25,921
thinking because war is making

5934
02:58:26,591 --> 02:58:27,559
it fearful and scared.

5935
02:58:27,559 --> 02:58:31,430
We need to be strong and go go

5936
02:58:31,430 --> 02:58:32,630
for our best practices and not

5937
02:58:32,630 --> 02:58:34,463
cower to questionable war

5938
02:58:36,368 --> 02:58:37,168
practices that the National

5939
02:58:37,168 --> 02:58:39,568
international level I'm upset

5940
02:58:41,390 --> 02:58:41,673
is the work at

5941
02:58:41,673 --> 02:58:42,730
the international level is

5942
02:58:42,730 --> 02:58:44,730
doing a lot.

5943
02:58:45,343 --> 02:58:46,440
It's quite an upheaval but I

5944
02:58:46,440 --> 02:58:46,711
just think the overall efforts

5945
02:58:46,711 --> 02:58:49,711
of international war is very

5946
02:58:50,315 --> 02:58:50,882
aggravating and frustrating and

5947
02:58:50,882 --> 02:58:53,282
I like working towards

5948
02:58:54,486 --> 02:58:55,220
negotiation to solve our issues

5949
02:58:55,220 --> 02:58:55,920
and yet we've got negotiation

5950
02:58:55,920 --> 02:58:59,291
and best practices we do here

5951
02:58:59,291 --> 02:58:59,925
at the local level that means

5952
02:58:59,925 --> 02:59:00,592
we have to coordinate well

5953
02:59:00,592 --> 02:59:01,193
between us and that we're on

5954
02:59:01,193 --> 02:59:03,593
the same page together.

5955
02:59:04,763 --> 02:59:05,464
I think that was the important

5956
02:59:05,464 --> 02:59:08,464
lesson with the Climate Report

5957
02:59:08,667 --> 02:59:09,434
today We have to better learn

5958
02:59:09,434 --> 02:59:10,135
how to be accessible and public

5959
02:59:10,135 --> 02:59:13,135
and learning to work together

5960
02:59:13,438 --> 02:59:14,720
like that.

5961
02:59:14,720 --> 02:59:16,472
The zoological memo itself

5962
02:59:18,477 --> 02:59:19,144
actually offers word about how

5963
02:59:19,144 --> 02:59:19,845
parking revenue can be used

5964
02:59:19,845 --> 02:59:22,245
initially towards general fund

5965
02:59:23,248 --> 02:59:23,982
items.

5966
02:59:23,982 --> 02:59:24,783
So council person LaCava really

5967
02:59:24,783 --> 02:59:27,552
has to rethink his words and

5968
02:59:27,552 --> 02:59:28,287
belittling the public.

5969
02:59:28,287 --> 02:59:28,887
>> Also we have to work

5970
02:59:28,887 --> 02:59:29,254
together not separately.

5971
02:59:29,254 --> 02:59:31,254
Thank you.

5972
02:59:31,790 --> 02:59:32,557
Your time has concluded.

5973
02:59:32,557 --> 02:59:35,557
Barbara Gordon If you can

5974
02:59:37,462 --> 02:59:38,197
please unmute after that will

5975
02:59:38,197 --> 02:59:41,166
be Lori Saldana Please proceed.

5976
02:59:41,166 --> 02:59:41,633
>> Barbara Thank you.

5977
02:59:41,633 --> 02:59:42,301
Good afternoon.

5978
02:59:42,301 --> 02:59:45,301
I'm a public health advocate

5979
02:59:46,738 --> 02:59:47,439
and I urge you to recognize

5980
02:59:47,439 --> 02:59:49,839
the commercialization of high

5981
02:59:51,410 --> 02:59:52,110
potency thc has produced a rise

5982
02:59:52,110 --> 02:59:54,110
in addiction poisoning

5983
02:59:56,281 --> 02:59:56,882
cardiovascular disease,

5984
02:59:56,882 --> 02:59:58,882
emergency rooms, traffic

5985
03:00:00,719 --> 03:00:01,386
fatalities, serious side

5986
03:00:01,386 --> 03:00:01,787
psychiatric harms especially

5987
03:00:01,787 --> 03:00:03,787
among youth.

5988
03:00:08,794 --> 03:00:09,461
In 2000 2426 of 12th graders

5989
03:00:09,461 --> 03:00:11,861
and 16% of 10th graders

5990
03:00:13,732 --> 03:00:14,500
reported past marijuana use.

5991
03:00:14,500 --> 03:00:17,500
5% of those high school seniors

5992
03:00:18,537 --> 03:00:19,338
used their drug daily placing

5993
03:00:19,338 --> 03:00:19,905
them at a higher risk for

5994
03:00:19,905 --> 03:00:21,905
addiction claims that

5995
03:00:23,709 --> 03:00:24,477
dispensaries keep marijuana

5996
03:00:24,477 --> 03:00:28,770
away from teens rings hollow in

5997
03:00:28,547 --> 03:00:31,547
light of the persistent high

5998
03:00:32,418 --> 03:00:33,218
level of use If teens can't buy

5999
03:00:33,218 --> 03:00:33,619
marijuana legally, how do they

6000
03:00:33,619 --> 03:00:35,619
obtain it?

6001
03:00:37,122 --> 03:00:37,856
About 65% of 12th graders

6002
03:00:37,856 --> 03:00:40,856
reported that marijuana is easy

6003
03:00:42,610 --> 03:00:42,661
or very easy to get.

6004
03:00:42,661 --> 03:00:45,610
Cannabis use disorder is

6005
03:00:46,765 --> 03:00:47,400
neither rare nor benign

6006
03:00:47,400 --> 03:00:48,660
according to the National

6007
03:00:48,660 --> 03:00:51,666
Survey on Drug Use and help

6008
03:00:52,370 --> 03:00:52,738
prevalence of cannabis use

6009
03:00:52,738 --> 03:00:55,138
disorder among adolescents and

6010
03:00:56,709 --> 03:00:59,109
young adults is almost 60%.

6011
03:01:01,514 --> 03:01:02,214
States with marijuana laws have

6012
03:01:02,214 --> 03:01:02,781
historically shown higher teen

6013
03:01:02,781 --> 03:01:04,781
use reflect reflecting

6014
03:01:06,118 --> 03:01:06,819
the normalization and

6015
03:01:06,819 --> 03:01:07,186
widespread available in social

6016
03:01:07,186 --> 03:01:09,186
networks.

6017
03:01:11,570 --> 03:01:11,691
I urge the city to take more

6018
03:01:11,691 --> 03:01:14,910
aggressive action to limit

6019
03:01:15,628 --> 03:01:16,295
the number of storefronts and

6020
03:01:16,295 --> 03:01:16,934
exposure of advertising and

6021
03:01:16,934 --> 03:01:19,334
marketing of marijuana by

6022
03:01:20,399 --> 03:01:21,201
prohibiting billboards

6023
03:01:21,201 --> 03:01:24,201
marijuana images on any signage

6024
03:01:25,739 --> 03:01:26,505
and fortunately that numerous

6025
03:01:26,505 --> 03:01:28,905
marijuana predators and policy

6026
03:01:30,743 --> 03:01:33,743
makers that pursue profits at

6027
03:01:35,810 --> 03:01:35,648
the expense of public health

6028
03:01:35,648 --> 03:01:36,182
actively undermine any

6029
03:01:36,182 --> 03:01:38,182
prevention efforts.

6030
03:01:40,152 --> 03:01:40,453
Thank you for letting me speak

6031
03:01:40,453 --> 03:01:40,853
.

6032
03:01:40,853 --> 03:01:42,853
Thank you.

6033
03:01:44,891 --> 03:01:45,625
Lori Saldana.

6034
03:01:45,625 --> 03:01:47,625
>> Good afternoon again.

6035
03:01:49,495 --> 03:01:50,196
So 40 years ago there was a

6036
03:01:50,196 --> 03:01:52,596
public art project that

6037
03:01:54,233 --> 03:01:54,867
plastered city busses and

6038
03:01:54,867 --> 03:01:57,267
billboards with images and

6039
03:01:58,437 --> 03:01:59,380
the text that San Diego is

6040
03:01:59,380 --> 03:01:59,438
America's finest tourist

6041
03:01:59,438 --> 03:02:01,438
plantation.

6042
03:02:03,509 --> 03:02:04,143
And you can imagine city

6043
03:02:04,143 --> 03:02:04,844
leaders were outraged that

6044
03:02:04,844 --> 03:02:08,281
public money had gone to state

6045
03:02:08,281 --> 03:02:08,981
what those of us who have lived

6046
03:02:08,981 --> 03:02:12,285
here for decades grew up here,

6047
03:02:12,285 --> 03:02:13,520
have known all our lives.

6048
03:02:13,520 --> 03:02:16,520
San Diego relies heavily on

6049
03:02:17,390 --> 03:02:18,190
hospitality and tourism dollars

6050
03:02:18,190 --> 03:02:18,858
and unfortunately it is now to

6051
03:02:18,858 --> 03:02:21,828
the detriment of people who

6052
03:02:21,828 --> 03:02:22,361
want to buy homes or rent homes

6053
03:02:22,361 --> 03:02:23,290
in San Diego.

6054
03:02:23,290 --> 03:02:26,290
So when the regional housing

6055
03:02:26,320 --> 03:02:26,699
needs assessment is brought up

6056
03:02:26,699 --> 03:02:27,433
,it is not looking

6057
03:02:27,433 --> 03:02:29,833
prospectively or even currently

6058
03:02:31,471 --> 03:02:32,171
it is looking backwards at what

6059
03:02:32,171 --> 03:02:35,171
was promised for housing going

6060
03:02:35,942 --> 03:02:36,242
back decades And what we have

6061
03:02:36,242 --> 03:02:36,910
today.

6062
03:02:36,910 --> 03:02:39,910
We have housing for visitors

6063
03:02:41,800 --> 03:02:41,647
and we don't have enough

6064
03:02:41,647 --> 03:02:42,140
housing for full time

6065
03:02:42,140 --> 03:02:42,715
residents.

6066
03:02:42,715 --> 03:02:45,518
And the people who are hardest

6067
03:02:45,518 --> 03:02:46,152
hit are those who are working

6068
03:02:46,152 --> 03:02:48,552
in hospitality service and

6069
03:02:50,900 --> 03:02:50,857
other low wage seasonal jobs.

6070
03:02:50,857 --> 03:02:51,491
So I wanted to bring that

6071
03:02:51,491 --> 03:02:54,491
forward as a reminder that

6072
03:02:54,660 --> 03:02:55,428
the committee that should be

6073
03:02:55,428 --> 03:02:56,950
looking at this the community

6074
03:02:56,950 --> 03:02:58,950
neighborhoods and community

6075
03:03:00,133 --> 03:03:00,833
committee has failed completely

6076
03:03:00,833 --> 03:03:03,833
in looking at how this

6077
03:03:05,710 --> 03:03:05,672
ordinance that was passed a few

6078
03:03:05,672 --> 03:03:06,306
years ago is operating.

6079
03:03:06,306 --> 03:03:07,400
They've held informational

6080
03:03:07,400 --> 03:03:10,100
hearings but have never done an

6081
03:03:10,100 --> 03:03:10,877
investigation and it is harming

6082
03:03:10,877 --> 03:03:14,547
people all over the city of San

6083
03:03:14,547 --> 03:03:15,415
Diego.

6084
03:03:15,415 --> 03:03:16,115
So I want to encourage in this

6085
03:03:16,115 --> 03:03:19,115
as we approach our summer

6086
03:03:19,786 --> 03:03:20,453
season that everyone on

6087
03:03:20,453 --> 03:03:20,954
the council look at how many

6088
03:03:20,954 --> 03:03:22,954
people come here.

6089
03:03:24,230 --> 03:03:24,724
How many people take housing

6090
03:03:24,724 --> 03:03:27,724
away from full time residents

6091
03:03:28,461 --> 03:03:29,195
in order to enjoy our beautiful

6092
03:03:29,195 --> 03:03:32,195
climate And how being America's

6093
03:03:33,300 --> 03:03:34,000
finest tourist plantation is

6094
03:03:34,000 --> 03:03:37,000
causing us to sink into

6095
03:03:38,238 --> 03:03:38,905
financial ruin in cases such as

6096
03:03:38,905 --> 03:03:39,272
the recent budget hole that

6097
03:03:39,272 --> 03:03:41,272
we're in.

6098
03:03:42,809 --> 03:03:43,343
Housing is fundamental.

6099
03:03:43,343 --> 03:03:45,743
It's a human right.

6100
03:03:47,814 --> 03:03:48,148
It's necessary for basic health

6101
03:03:48,148 --> 03:03:48,948
.

6102
03:03:48,948 --> 03:03:49,616
And if we don't provide it our

6103
03:03:49,616 --> 03:03:49,983
city will be sicker for it.

6104
03:03:49,983 --> 03:03:51,751
Thank you.

6105
03:03:51,751 --> 03:03:52,819
Your time is concluded.

6106
03:03:52,819 --> 03:03:56,419
Ernie Casco if you can please

6107
03:03:57,560 --> 03:03:57,357
unmute.

6108
03:03:57,357 --> 03:03:58,224
Yes.

6109
03:03:58,224 --> 03:04:01,224
Ernie Casco here La Hoya

6110
03:04:02,950 --> 03:04:02,762
resident.

6111
03:04:02,762 --> 03:04:03,396
Time to stop the crime at

6112
03:04:03,396 --> 03:04:05,796
Torrey Pines Glider Park.

6113
03:04:06,967 --> 03:04:07,400
I should not be forced to buy

6114
03:04:07,400 --> 03:04:08,234
insurance.

6115
03:04:08,234 --> 03:04:11,171
Not required by law and sign an

6116
03:04:11,171 --> 03:04:12,380
illegal access pass and waiver

6117
03:04:12,380 --> 03:04:12,706
to use a free public park when

6118
03:04:12,706 --> 03:04:15,106
city liabilities are already

6119
03:04:15,642 --> 03:04:16,142
covered by California

6120
03:04:16,142 --> 03:04:17,100
recreational laws.

6121
03:04:17,100 --> 03:04:20,100
This is an insurance waiver

6122
03:04:20,914 --> 03:04:21,548
fraud and misappropriation of

6123
03:04:21,548 --> 03:04:22,150
public funding going into

6124
03:04:22,150 --> 03:04:24,150
private account.

6125
03:04:25,852 --> 03:04:26,453
It is well documented on your

6126
03:04:26,453 --> 03:04:29,453
desk and demands a full

6127
03:04:29,856 --> 03:04:30,590
transparent city artist that

6128
03:04:30,590 --> 03:04:31,191
would end the corruption within

6129
03:04:31,191 --> 03:04:33,191
your own administration.

6130
03:04:35,228 --> 03:04:35,896
We have a petition Black speech

6131

6132

the illegal commercialization

6133
03:04:40,500 --> 03:04:41,670
and privatization of San Diego

6134
03:04:41,670 --> 03:04:41,601
parks with hundreds of

6135
03:04:41,601 --> 03:04:42,202
signatures demanding

6136
03:04:42,202 --> 03:04:44,202
authorities take action.

6137
03:04:45,105 --> 03:04:45,805
We have unanimous letter of

6138
03:04:45,805 --> 03:04:48,805

timely fashion.

6169
03:05:42,829 --> 03:05:43,397
It's a win for city council

6170
03:05:43,397 --> 03:05:43,997

Blair Bateman's words on peace

03:06:24,938 --> 03:06:25,572

Banksy's words about a I spill

6192
03:06:34,480 --> 03:06:34,448
He also said must have humans

6193
03:06:34,448 --> 03:06:36,448

6194
03:06:38,786 --> 03:06:39,553

Director Tim Desmond's words

6202

6204
03:07:04,110 --> 03:07:04,712
More to come in the future and

6205
03:07:04,712 --> 03:07:08,820
I'll try to fit this in.

6206
03:07:08,820 --> 03:07:08,883
I MAY not.

6207
03:07:08,883 --> 03:07:11,883
I googled Is Mexico involved

6208
03:07:13,287 --> 03:07:14,880
with the Colorado River water

6209
03:07:14,880 --> 03:07:14,755
deal or is it only New Mexico?

6210
03:07:14,755 --> 03:07:17,155
And I was shocked.

6211
03:07:18,793 --> 03:07:19,593
Google came back and I can't

6212
03:07:19,593 --> 03:07:22,593
speak on it thoroughly because

6213
03:07:24,980 --> 03:07:27,980
it's huge and it's complicated.

6214
03:07:28,536 --> 03:07:29,136
So to be said later the water

6215
03:07:29,136 --> 03:07:31,806
deal that was missed on

6216
03:07:31,806 --> 03:07:32,540
Valentine's Day that was

the second MISS OCTOBER 26th It

6218
03:07:33,374 --> 03:07:36,611
is going to collapse if it's

6219
03:07:36,611 --> 03:07:37,345
not signed and the federal

6220
03:07:37,345 --> 03:07:40,345
government has a plan waiting

6221
03:07:41,216 --> 03:07:42,830
in the wings to take over.

6222
03:07:42,830 --> 03:07:46,220
So please keep an eye on this.

6223
03:07:46,220 --> 03:07:46,721

03:07:55,730 --> 03:07:56,397
I'm here to talk about a lack

6231
03:07:56,397 --> 03:07:57,980
of quality electronic waste

6232
03:07:57,980 --> 03:08:00,980
resources for residents in San

6233
03:08:00,334 --> 03:08:01,102
Diego.

6234
03:08:01,102 --> 03:08:01,802
So due to the prevalence of

6235
03:08:01,802 --> 03:08:04,202
planned obsolescence which has

6236
03:08:05,506 --> 03:08:06,240
led to major increases in

6237
03:08:06,240 --> 03:08:07,740
e-waste, the city I believe has

6238
03:08:07,740 --> 03:08:10,378
to do a better job of informing

6239
03:08:10,378 --> 03:08:10,945
residents e-waste is growing

6240
03:08:10,945 --> 03:08:13,345
five times faster than

6241
03:08:14,549 --> 03:08:15,349
documented e-waste recycling

6242
03:08:15,349 --> 03:08:18,349
and it's reaching a projected

6243
03:08:18,953 --> 03:08:19,720
82 million tons about 2030.

6244
03:08:19,720 --> 03:08:20,555
So it is a growing issue.

6245
03:08:20,555 --> 03:08:23,324
Currently in San Diego there

6246
03:08:23,324 --> 03:08:24,250
are multiple nonprofit and

6247
03:08:24,250 --> 03:08:26,425
third party organizations that

6248
03:08:28,730 --> 03:08:29,397
offer free e-waste drop off and

6249
03:08:29,397 --> 03:08:30,970
pick up services like Urban

6250
03:08:30,970 --> 03:08:32,467
Corpse and Waste And there's a

6251
03:08:32,467 --> 03:08:33,201
few more.

6252
03:08:33,201 --> 03:08:33,868
And then there's companies like

6253
03:08:33,868 --> 03:08:34,469
tech companies like Best Buy

6254
03:08:34,469 --> 03:08:36,469
that have comprehensive

6255
03:08:38,573 --> 03:08:39,306
electronic record cycling

6256
03:08:39,306 --> 03:08:42,276
programs and even ucsd and sdc.

6257
03:08:42,276 --> 03:08:43,110
You have drop off locations

6258
03:08:43,110 --> 03:08:43,745
available but the only facility

6259
03:08:43,745 --> 03:08:47,348
that is run through the city of

6260
03:08:47,348 --> 03:08:47,982
San Diego is the Miramar

6261
03:08:47,982 --> 03:08:49,982
Household Hazardous Waste

6262
03:08:51,986 --> 03:08:52,687
Transfer Facility which is by

6263
03:08:52,687 --> 03:08:53,388
appointment only and it's only

6264
03:08:53,388 --> 03:08:56,388
open on Saturdays with limited

6265
03:08:57,258 --> 03:08:58,260
hours.

6266
03:08:58,260 --> 03:08:58,460
And even worse it doesn't even

6267
03:08:58,460 --> 03:09:00,460
accept waste.

6268
03:09:02,463 --> 03:09:02,764
So I think that this is a major

6269
03:09:02,764 --> 03:09:04,764
issue.

6270
03:09:06,267 --> 03:09:06,968
This is an issue and then

6271
03:09:06,968 --> 03:09:07,735
furthermore in the city of San

6272
03:09:07,735 --> 03:09:10,672
Diego is what goes where GOD

6273
03:09:10,672 --> 03:09:11,572
that is distributed.

6274
03:09:11,572 --> 03:09:15,172
There is a lack of information

6275
03:09:15,710 --> 03:09:16,444
on the actual harms of improper

6276
03:09:16,444 --> 03:09:16,878
disposal of hazardous materials

6277
03:09:16,878 --> 03:09:18,878
like e-waste.

6278
03:09:20,815 --> 03:09:21,516
And then additionally the only

6279
03:09:21,516 --> 03:09:22,217
way that the guide advertises

6280
03:09:22,217 --> 03:09:25,486
is to dispose of waste in San

6281
03:09:25,486 --> 03:09:25,854
Diego is to take it to that

6282
03:09:25,854 --> 03:09:26,554
Miramar h.

6283
03:09:26,554 --> 03:09:27,550
H w transfer facility which I

6284
03:09:27,550 --> 03:09:29,550
mentioned before.

6285
03:09:30,225 --> 03:09:30,892
It does not even accept e-waste

6286
03:09:30,892 --> 03:09:33,292
and there's no alternative

6287
03:09:35,296 --> 03:09:36,640
option that is offered So I do

6288
03:09:36,640 --> 03:09:36,698
suggest that this be worked on.

6289
03:09:36,698 --> 03:09:37,980
Thank you for your time.

6290
03:09:37,980 --> 03:09:39,980
Thank you.

6291
03:09:39,169 --> 03:09:41,569
Next is Kathleen Lippert.

6292
03:09:43,772 --> 03:09:44,272
>> If you can please unmute.

6293
03:09:44,272 --> 03:09:44,873
>> Thank you.

6294
03:09:44,873 --> 03:09:46,873
Good afternoon Council.

6295
03:09:48,410 --> 03:09:49,770
My name is Kathleen Lippert.

6296
03:09:49,770 --> 03:09:49,677
Wall Street Journal had an

6297
03:09:49,677 --> 03:09:51,677
article that highlighted

6298
03:09:53,381 --> 03:09:54,480
the challenges high schools are

6299
03:09:54,480 --> 03:09:57,648
facing today from the use of

6300
03:09:57,852 --> 03:09:58,620
high potency thc vape pens.

6301
03:09:58,620 --> 03:09:59,287
They're easy to hide and often

6302
03:09:59,287 --> 03:09:59,587
used in bathrooms or during

6303
03:09:59,587 --> 03:10:01,587
class.

6304
03:10:02,758 --> 03:10:03,391
Legalize ation and surprising

6305
03:10:03,391 --> 03:10:05,791
social acceptance has made

6306
03:10:07,295 --> 03:10:07,929
marijuana more accessible to

6307
03:10:07,929 --> 03:10:08,563
teens overwhelming schools

6308
03:10:08,563 --> 03:10:10,963
ability to discipline and

6309
03:10:12,467 --> 03:10:13,340
detect.

6310
03:10:13,340 --> 03:10:13,735
The administrators say

6311
03:10:13,735 --> 03:10:16,735
the problem is growing faster

6312
03:10:17,605 --> 03:10:18,339
than they can respond.

6313
03:10:18,339 --> 03:10:21,339
And legalization in states like

6314
03:10:22,243 --> 03:10:23,440
California have made marijuana

6315
03:10:23,440 --> 03:10:23,745
easier for teens to access more

6316
03:10:23,745 --> 03:10:26,145
socially acceptable and harder

6317
03:10:27,315 --> 03:10:27,983
for schools to police.

6318
03:10:27,983 --> 03:10:28,583
>> Students are vaping in

6319
03:10:28,583 --> 03:10:30,583
bathrooms, hallways and

6320
03:10:32,687 --> 03:10:33,355
sometimes even during class.

6321
03:10:33,355 --> 03:10:35,755
They've detectors are being

6322
03:10:37,580 --> 03:10:37,626
installed but students often

6323
03:10:37,626 --> 03:10:38,226
find ways around them.

6324
03:10:38,226 --> 03:10:40,226
>> Administrators report

6325
03:10:42,970 --> 03:10:42,664
constant alerts and frequent

6326
03:10:42,664 --> 03:10:43,465
bathroom space sweeps.

6327
03:10:43,465 --> 03:10:46,465
And students try to avoid

6328
03:10:47,335 --> 03:10:48,300
school bathrooms often because

6329
03:10:48,300 --> 03:10:51,300
they want they would rather

6330
03:10:51,340 --> 03:10:52,207
wait till they leave school to

6331
03:10:52,207 --> 03:10:52,907
be able to use a bathroom that

6332
03:10:52,907 --> 03:10:55,907
is not filled with marijuana.

6333
03:10:56,110 --> 03:10:56,711
Studies that create a

6334
03:10:56,711 --> 03:10:57,279
commercial marijuana footprint

6335
03:10:57,279 --> 03:10:59,279
resulted in increased

6336
03:11:01,183 --> 03:11:01,483
availability and reduced stigma

6337
03:11:01,483 --> 03:11:02,150
.

6338
03:11:02,150 --> 03:11:02,885
And while schools are doing

6339
03:11:02,885 --> 03:11:05,885
their best to protect students,

6340
03:11:06,421 --> 03:11:07,122
cities like San Diego are

6341
03:11:07,122 --> 03:11:10,722
making the jobs of schools and

6342
03:11:11,590 --> 03:11:11,393
parents unnecessarily difficult

6343
03:11:11,393 --> 03:11:12,260
.

6344
03:11:12,260 --> 03:11:13,128
I like to know what the city of

6345
03:11:13,128 --> 03:11:16,264
San Diego is doing to partner

6346
03:11:16,264 --> 03:11:17,320
with these with parents and

6347
03:11:17,320 --> 03:11:20,320
with schools because it appears

6348
03:11:21,300 --> 03:11:21,536
that the city is policies are

6349
03:11:21,536 --> 03:11:23,536
doing the opposite.

6350
03:11:26,740 --> 03:11:26,808
They wilill continue schools will

6351
03:11:26,808 --> 03:11:29,808
continue to lose ground despite

6352
03:11:30,212 --> 03:11:30,912
technology and stricter

6353
03:11:30,912 --> 03:11:33,312
monitoring and the combination

6354
03:11:35,283 --> 03:11:35,985
of legal legalization, high

6355
03:11:35,985 --> 03:11:36,451
potency products and discrete

6356
03:11:36,451 --> 03:11:38,451
vaping devices.

6357
03:11:40,322 --> 03:11:42,322
>> Challenge traditional

6358
03:11:44,660 --> 03:11:45,527
schools The very same industry

6359
03:11:45,527 --> 03:11:46,194
that claims they do not want to

6360
03:11:46,194 --> 03:11:49,194
target students is the same

6361
03:11:49,631 --> 03:11:49,965
industry that your concluding

6362
03:11:49,965 --> 03:11:51,965
comment.

6363
03:11:52,000 --> 03:11:55,000
Next is 8813 and then Madison

6364
03:11:58,507 --> 03:12:02,107
plays a new okay console here

6365
03:12:03,111 --> 03:12:03,579
and I'm definitely coming from

6366
03:12:03,579 --> 03:12:05,979
a place of love.

6367
03:12:07,683 --> 03:12:08,383
So let's say I wanted to focus

6368
03:12:08,383 --> 03:12:11,983
on how things have been done

6369
03:12:12,754 --> 03:12:13,455
incrementally step by step so

6370
03:12:13,455 --> 03:12:16,455
people don't slowly so people

6371
03:12:17,493 --> 03:12:18,193
slowly submit and consent to

6372
03:12:18,193 --> 03:12:20,593
everything being built around

6373
03:12:22,698 --> 03:12:23,332
them all presented as if it for

6374
03:12:23,332 --> 03:12:23,966
our benefit while quietly

6375
03:12:23,966 --> 03:12:26,966
leading to our own demise.

6376
03:12:27,770 --> 03:12:28,370
The other agenda for the 21st

6377
03:12:28,370 --> 03:12:28,737
century didn't disappear

6378
03:12:28,737 --> 03:12:30,737
overnight.

6379
03:12:32,508 --> 03:12:33,308
It has been layered and piece

6380
03:12:33,308 --> 03:12:33,676
It has been layered and piece

6381
03:12:33,676 --> 03:12:35,676
by piece.

6382
03:12:37,120 --> 03:12:37,713
From cameras in our skies to

6383
03:12:37,713 --> 03:12:40,713
homelessness to in our streets

6384
03:12:41,383 --> 03:12:42,117
the decline of human health and

6385
03:12:42,117 --> 03:12:42,852
the erosion of the human spirit

6386
03:12:42,852 --> 03:12:45,852
from endless wars to inflation

6387
03:12:46,522 --> 03:12:47,222
squeezing families every

6388
03:12:47,222 --> 03:12:49,622
pressure point pushing people

6389
03:12:51,460 --> 03:12:52,127
closer to exhaustion and defeat

6390
03:12:52,127 --> 03:12:55,127
And now the climate crisis

6391
03:12:55,864 --> 03:12:56,599
narrative They continue using

6392
03:12:56,599 --> 03:12:59,599
to influence people for decades

6393
03:13:01,270 --> 03:13:01,804
to see shoreline that the lines

6394
03:13:01,804 --> 03:13:02,604
have not increased.

6395
03:13:02,604 --> 03:13:06,204
Many coastal photos have half a

6396
03:13:06,509 --> 03:13:07,209
century from half a century

6397
03:13:07,209 --> 03:13:07,610
years ago have shown the exact

6398
03:13:07,610 --> 03:13:09,610
same levels.

6399
03:13:11,247 --> 03:13:11,947
Yet the fear messaging

6400
03:13:11,947 --> 03:13:14,347
continues because when people

6401
03:13:15,718 --> 03:13:16,510
are afraid they're easier to

6402
03:13:16,510 --> 03:13:16,685
control.

6403
03:13:16,685 --> 03:13:17,419
All of that contributes to

6404
03:13:17,419 --> 03:13:20,419
the people feeling defeated And

6405
03:13:20,790 --> 03:13:21,257
when people feel defeated they

6406
03:13:21,257 --> 03:13:21,924
stop resisting.

6407
03:13:21,924 --> 03:13:24,924
This is the oldest strategy

6408
03:13:25,828 --> 03:13:26,462
there is divide and conquer,

6409
03:13:26,462 --> 03:13:28,862
create the crisis, amplify

6410
03:13:30,199 --> 03:13:30,633
the chaos and then present

6411
03:13:30,633 --> 03:13:31,167
the solution.

6412
03:13:31,167 --> 03:13:31,934
Order out of chaos.

6413
03:13:31,934 --> 03:13:34,934
And while people are busy

6414
03:13:35,704 --> 03:13:36,405
fighting each other, struggling

6415
03:13:36,405 --> 03:13:39,742
to survive and just trying to

6416
03:13:39,742 --> 03:13:40,443
keep their heads above water,

6417
03:13:40,443 --> 03:13:40,776
the system of control quietly

6418
03:13:40,776 --> 03:13:42,776
expands.

6419
03:13:44,780 --> 03:13:45,381
None of this is random.

6420
03:13:45,381 --> 03:13:45,948
The real question is not

6421
03:13:45,948 --> 03:13:48,948
whether we can see it.

6422
03:13:49,518 --> 03:13:49,952
The real question is what we

6423
03:13:49,952 --> 03:13:51,952
choose to do.

6424
03:13:54,623 --> 03:13:58,223
Once we know and yeah again

6425
03:13:59,729 --> 03:14:00,362
there's a lot of people who are

6426
03:14:00,362 --> 03:14:02,762
concerned not being paid.

6427
03:14:04,433 --> 03:14:04,967
Call it voluntary call it We

6428
03:14:04,967 --> 03:14:05,668
are the volunteers.

6429
03:14:05,668 --> 03:14:09,380
>> We are the work of putting

6430
03:14:09,380 --> 03:14:09,805
our Mark Madison if you can

6431
03:14:09,805 --> 03:14:10,206
please on mute after Madison is

6432
03:14:10,206 --> 03:14:12,206
John Stump.

6433
03:14:13,243 --> 03:14:13,609
Please proceed.

6434
03:14:13,609 --> 03:14:14,100
All right.

6435
03:14:14,100 --> 03:14:14,477
Thank you.

6436
03:14:14,477 --> 03:14:16,477
Good afternoon.

6437
03:14:18,800 --> 03:14:18,714
Much of the public conversation

6438
03:14:18,714 --> 03:14:21,114
about marijuana focuses on

6439
03:14:23,190 --> 03:14:23,686
short term intoxication but

6440
03:14:23,686 --> 03:14:24,353
emerging research shows that

6441
03:14:24,353 --> 03:14:26,753
thc behaves very differently

6442
03:14:28,157 --> 03:14:28,824
from substances like alcohol.

6443
03:14:28,824 --> 03:14:31,224
Alcohol is processed and

6444
03:14:33,262 --> 03:14:33,563
cleared from the body within

6445
03:14:33,563 --> 03:14:34,196
hours.

6446
03:14:34,196 --> 03:14:36,596
Thc the main psychoactive

6447
03:14:37,867 --> 03:14:38,568
compound in cannabis

6448
03:14:38,568 --> 03:14:41,568
accumulates in the body's fat

6449
03:14:42,405 --> 03:14:43,206
and organs including the brain

6450
03:14:43,206 --> 03:14:43,706
and liver and can be slowly

6451
03:14:43,706 --> 03:14:45,706
released back into

6452
03:14:47,677 --> 03:14:48,344
the bloodstream long after

6453
03:14:48,344 --> 03:14:49,110
the immediate high has faded

6454
03:14:49,110 --> 03:14:51,411
According to physicians and

6455
03:14:52,281 --> 03:14:52,882
toxicology researchers.

6456
03:14:52,882 --> 03:14:55,282
Thc spreads quickly into

6457
03:14:56,753 --> 03:14:57,353
tissues throughout the body

6458
03:14:57,353 --> 03:14:58,880
rather than remaining in

6459
03:14:58,880 --> 03:14:58,555
the bloodstream where it can be

6460
03:14:58,555 --> 03:15:00,555
easily measured.

6461
03:15:01,457 --> 03:15:02,157
This means that even when a

6462
03:15:02,157 --> 03:15:05,157
drug test appears negative thc

6463
03:15:06,395 --> 03:15:06,996
and its biological effects MAY

6464
03:15:06,996 --> 03:15:07,330
still be present in body

6465
03:15:07,330 --> 03:15:08,640
tissues.

6466
03:15:08,640 --> 03:15:11,640
This matters even more today

6467
03:15:11,467 --> 03:15:12,168
because cannabis products

6468
03:15:12,168 --> 03:15:14,568
available now are dramatically

6469
03:15:15,672 --> 03:15:16,390
stronger than those used in

6470
03:15:16,390 --> 03:15:16,706
the past.

6471
03:15:16,706 --> 03:15:19,106
Modern oils, vape cartridges

6472
03:15:21,277 --> 03:15:24,277
and edibles can contain 10 to

6473
03:15:24,614 --> 03:15:25,215
20 times more thc than products

6474
03:15:25,215 --> 03:15:26,490
from the 70s and 80s.

6475
03:15:26,490 --> 03:15:30,120
At the same time, daily use has

6476
03:15:30,120 --> 03:15:30,887
become increasingly common.

6477
03:15:30,887 --> 03:15:34,487
As a result, many people are

6478
03:15:34,557 --> 03:15:35,358
repeatedly exposing their

6479
03:15:35,358 --> 03:15:36,125
bodies to high levels of thc

6480
03:15:36,125 --> 03:15:39,262
that do not leave the body

6481
03:15:39,262 --> 03:15:39,963
quickly.

6482
03:15:39,963 --> 03:15:40,663
Researchers are also learning

6483
03:15:40,663 --> 03:15:44,263
that thc can affect the immune

6484
03:15:44,300 --> 03:15:44,901
system and inflammation

6485
03:15:44,901 --> 03:15:45,535
throughout the body when

6486
03:15:45,535 --> 03:15:47,935
the immune system remains

6487
03:15:49,172 --> 03:15:49,840
activated for long periods of

6488
03:15:49,840 --> 03:15:50,574
time instead of returning to

6489
03:15:50,574 --> 03:15:53,574
arresting state it can increase

6490
03:15:53,610 --> 03:15:54,279
long term risks for conditions

6491
03:15:54,279 --> 03:15:57,279
such as heart disease and

6492
03:15:58,148 --> 03:15:58,848
metabolic problems.

6493
03:15:58,848 --> 03:15:59,482
These findings remind us that

6494
03:15:59,482 --> 03:16:02,252
cannabis is not a harmless

6495
03:16:02,252 --> 03:16:03,190
lifestyle product.

6496
03:16:03,190 --> 03:16:03,787
As thc potency rises and

6497
03:16:03,787 --> 03:16:06,787
frequent use is more normalized

6498
03:16:07,900 --> 03:16:07,824
we are only beginning to

6499
03:16:07,824 --> 03:16:10,824
understand the long term health

6500
03:16:11,761 --> 03:16:12,462
consequences of a substance

6501
03:16:12,462 --> 03:16:13,960
that can persist in the body

6502
03:16:13,960 --> 03:16:13,463
for weeks or even months.

6503
03:16:13,463 --> 03:16:15,463
Thank you.

6504
03:16:16,900 --> 03:16:18,900
Thank you, John.

6505
03:16:22,272 --> 03:16:23,140
Oh, I don't mean to We're going

6506
03:16:23,140 --> 03:16:26,740
to lose quorum here so we'll

6507
03:16:26,843 --> 03:16:27,510
take that managing the public

6508
03:16:27,510 --> 03:16:30,510
comment at the beginning of

6509
03:16:30,847 --> 03:16:31,481
tomorrow morning's session

6510
03:16:31,481 --> 03:16:32,820
along with the regular non

6511
03:16:32,820 --> 03:16:34,482
agenda public comment at

6512
03:16:35,719 --> 03:16:36,190
the end of the morning session

6513
03:16:36,190 --> 03:16:36,720
.

6514
03:16:36,720 --> 03:16:37,153
My apologies Please keep your

6515
03:16:37,153 --> 03:16:37,854
hands raised.

6516
03:16:37,854 --> 03:16:41,391
I will make sure to make note

6517
03:16:41,391 --> 03:16:41,925
for tomorrow's meeting to give

6518
03:16:41,925 --> 03:16:42,625
preference as well.

6519
03:16:42,625 --> 03:16:43,260
So real quickly does the city

6520
03:16:43,260 --> 03:16:45,529
attorney have anything to

6521
03:16:45,529 --> 03:16:46,296
report out from close session?

6522
03:16:46,296 --> 03:16:46,663
There is nothing to report.

6523
03:16:46,663 --> 03:16:46,963
Thank you.

6524
03:16:46,963 --> 03:16:47,697
Okay.

6525
03:16:47,697 --> 03:16:50,100
We will now adjourn council to

6526
03:16:50,100 --> 03:16:50,800
the regularly scheduled council

6527
03:16:50,800 --> 03:16:51,268
meeting on Tuesday MARCH 10th,

6528
03:16:51,268 --> 03:16:52,702
2026 at 10 A.M..

6529
03:16:52,702 --> 03:16:56,302
Again my apologize to those who
