00:13:53,774 of a member of my own family 434 00:13:53,774 --> 00:13:54,474 who tripped just around 435 00:13:54,474 --> 00:13:58,740 the corner from city Hall was 436 00:13:58,911 --> 00:13:59,612 injured but not it was not 437 00:13:59,612 --> 00:14:00,347 anticipated that the injuries 438 00:14:00,347 --> 00:14:03,347 would would eventually kill her 439 00:14:03,783 --> 00:14:04,485 within a few months And that is 440 00:14:04,485 --> 00:14:05,251 what happened And that was my 441 00:14:05,251 --> 00:14:08,251 mother And it's hard to 442 00:14:08,555 --> 00:14:09,890 celebrate Mother's Day with 443 00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:09,923 that in my mind. 444 00:14:09,923 --> 00:14:12,859 But she tripped and fell on 445 00:14:12,859 --> 00:14:13,527 the broken sidewalk and 446 00:14:13,527 --> 00:14:14,270 the severity of her injuries 447 00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:16,270 were not apparent. 448 00:14:17,830 --> 00:14:18,598 They treated the most difficult 449 00:14:18,598 --> 00:14:21,598 When she was bleeding profusely 450 00:14:22,669 --> 00:14:23,403 They failed to notice some 451 00:14:23,403 --> 00:14:24,370 other injuries that contributed 452 00:14:24,370 --> 00:14:24,337 to her death a few months 453 00:14:24,337 --> 00:14:26,337 later. 454 00:14:27,307 --> 00:14:28,800 So these are not just 455 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:28,842 theoretical In my case when I 456 00:14:28,842 --> 00:14:32,442 see these cases these are very 457 00:14:32,446 --> 00:14:35,446 real Regarding Mary Brown and 458 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:37,750 the case on solid waste, thank 459 00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:38,551 you Mike Aguirre for taking 460 00:14:38,551 --> 00:14:41,488 this up and bringing justice to 461 00:14:41,488 --> 00:14:42,256 ratepayers. 462 00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:42,956 The city has a history of 463 00:14:42,956 --> 00:14:45,356 overcharging rate payers when 464 00:14:45,859 --> 00:14:46,726 it comes to basic necessities 465 00:14:46,726 --> 00:14:47,394 and it is one reason so many 466 00:14:47,394 --> 00:14:49,794 especially older adults are 467 00:14:51,310 --> 00:14:51,798 losing housing because they 468 00:14:51,798 --> 00:14:52,990 simply can't keep up with these 469 00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:52,800 bills. 470 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,200 In 2005 the city was 471 00:14:56,303 --> 00:14:56,869 investigated for financial 472 00:14:56,869 --> 00:14:57,504 impropriety and it was 473 00:14:57,504 --> 00:14:59,504 determined residents were 474 00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:01,675 overcharged for basic water 475 00:15:01,675 --> 00:15:04,750 services in violation of 476 00:15:05,712 --> 00:15:06,113 the state's revolving fund loan 477 00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:06,713 agreements. 478 00:15:06,713 --> 00:15:07,581 So this is nothing new. 479 00:15:07,581 --> 00:15:10,984 The city of San Diego has a 480 00:15:10,984 --> 00:15:11,685 long history of putting 481 00:15:11,685 --> 00:15:12,419 the burden of higher rates on 482 00:15:12,419 --> 00:15:16,123 the back of those who can least 483 00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:16,824 afford them as opposed to 484 00:15:16,824 --> 00:15:19,224 charging industries and others 485 00:15:21,427 --> 00:15:22,129 that operate for a profit a 486 00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:25,129 fair amount and that includes 487 00:15:26,367 --> 00:15:27,100 water, trash and electricity 488 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:27,701 things that every resident 489 00:15:27,701 --> 00:15:31,238 needs and we cannot get around 490 00:15:31,238 --> 00:15:32,390 paying for So I believe that 491 00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:35,342 this is related to see us five 492 00:15:35,342 --> 00:15:36,900 the state water resource 493 00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:36,810 Control Board and this case 494 00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:40,410 again the city has a long 495 00:15:40,915 --> 00:15:41,582 history of these disputes 496 00:15:41,582 --> 00:15:43,982 between the state regulatory 497 00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:46,520 agencies and the fees and I 498 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,120

00:15:52,326 --> 00:15:55,326 the cruel report from 20 years 503 00:15:55,562 --> 00:15:56,263 ago that determined numerous 504 00:15:56,263 --> 00:15:59,263 improprieties when it came to 505 00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:01,368 city finances that periodically 506 00:16:01,368 --> 00:16:04,368 I think every quarter century 507 00:16:05,539 --> 00:16:06,206 or so having an outside auditor 508 00:16:06,206 --> 00:16:06,907 go through the city's books 509 00:16:06,907 --> 00:16:09,877 would be welcome And I hope 510 00:16:09,877 --> 00:16:10,611 Mike Aguirre would consider 511 00:16:10,611

00:50:10,958 the police department it's like 1199 00:50:10,958 --> 00:50:11,625 and then you guys wonder why 1200 00:50:11,625 --> 00:50:12,426 things are like they are if 1201 00:50:12,426 --> 00:50:15,729 they weren't engaged in such an 1202 00:50:15,729 --> 00:50:16,464 of various acts to you know, 1203 00:50:16,464 --> 00:50:18,864 actively close small businesses 1204 00:50:20,768 -->

00:50:25,706 about them You should have been 1208 00:50:25,706 --> 00:50:26,407 doing something to ensure that 1209 00:50:26,407 --> 00:50:26,908 they stayed open and not that 1210 00:50:26,908 -->

profit and the problem is when 1214 00:50:35,215 --> 00:50:38,815 you contract with them they are 1215 00:50:38,919 --> 00:50:39,720 making money off of these bids 1216 00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:40,388 and the money that you are 1217 00:50:40,388 --> 00:50:43,388 allocating to them that you 1218 00:50:43,925 --> 00:50:44,559 know there is some that's going 1219 00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:45,292 to go to

nonprofits 1226 00:50:58,506 --> 00:50:58,839 hands and kind of let them run 1227 00:50:58,839 --> 00:50:59,640 rampant. 1228 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:00,341 I mean as you can see with 1229 00:51:00,341

like you know, it's 1233 00:51:05,245 --> 00:51:08,649 really hard to trust you guys 1234 00:51:08,649 --> 00:51:09,417 making sound mind decisions 1235 00:51:09,417 --> 00:51:10,170 when you have proven time and 1236 00:51:10,170 --> 00:51:13,170 again that you cannot be 1237 00:51:13,540 --> 00:51:13,788 trusted when you're allocating 1238 00:51:13,788 --> 00:51:16,788 money to different entities and 1239 00:51:18,660 --> 00:51:19,360 you kind of take out your you 1240 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,360 know, accountability in it and 1241 00:51:22,931 --> 00:51:23,531 act as though you're

--> 00:51:29,404 you know, there's no way to for 1246 00:51:29,404 --> 00:51:32,404 the people to follow where 1247 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,540 their money is going and ensure 1248 00:51:33,540 --> 00:51:34,175 that it is actually making 1249 00:51:34,175 --> 00:51:36,575 the communities better and 1250 00:51:38,412 --> 00:51:39,130 who's determining what needs to 1251 00:51:39,130 -->

00:52:57,525 --> 00:52:59,525 they ran things. 1291 00:53:01,863 --> 00:53:02,496 And I feel like we have 1292 00:53:02,496 --> 00:53:03,198 obviously we have a budget 1293 00:53:03,198 --> 00:53:06,100 crisis but I've mentioned this 1294 00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:06,601 before it's like Todd Gloria is 1295 00:53:06,601 --> 00:53:09,100 an assemblyman trying to 1296 00:53:11,139 -->

restricted affordable 2092 01:16:17,665 --> 01:16:18,366 home meaning that these smaller 2093 01:16:18,366 --> 01:16:19,134 units would still be eligible 2094 01:16:19,134 --> 01:16:20,935 for a waiver if a deed 2095 01:16:20,935 --> 01:16:23,335 restricted was placed on 2096 01:16:25,740 --> 01:16:26,608 the home. 2097 01:16:26,608 --> 01:16:27,275 In order to be consistent with 2098 01:16:27,275 --> 01:16:29,675 the Mid-City Community plan 2099 01:16:31,279 --> 01:16:31,880 which calls for medium high to 2100 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:32,614 high density residential 2101 01:16:32,614 --> 01:16:35,140 development and commercial uses 2102 01:16:36,417 --> 01:16:37,510 along transit corridors, 2103 01:16:37,510 --> 01:16:37,752 the Central Urbanized Plan 2104 01:16:37,752 --> 01:16:40,752 District needs to be updated. 2105 01:16:41,189 --> 01:16:41,923 The amendment proposal would 2106 01:16:41,923 --> 01:16:42,624 prohibit new moving and storage 2107 01:16:42,624 --> 01:16:45,240 facilities in specific central 2108 01:16:46,528 --> 01:16:48,928 urbanized commercial zones that 2109 01:16:49,931 --> 01:16:50,499 include c2-3 through c2-5 zones 2110 01:16:50,499 --> 01:16:51,166 to be consistent with 2111 01:16:51,166 --> 01:16:53,566 the Mid-City community plan. 2112 01:16:54,669 --> 01:16:55,370 This would not impact existing 2113 01:16:55,370 --> 01:16:55,971 storage facilities which would 2114 01:16:55,971 --> 01:16:58,971 be subject to the city's 2115 01:16:59,207 --> 01:16:59,608 previously conforming use 2116 01:16:59,608 --> 01:17:00,175 regulations. 2117 01:17:00,175 --> 01:17:00,809 This amendment is also 2118 01:17:00,809 --> 01:17:03,209 consistent with the city's 2119 01:17:04,279 --> 01:17:04,980 climate goals of encouraging 2120 01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:05,680 active pedestrian communities 2121 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,680 and encouraging new housing to 2122 01:17:09,183 --> 01:17:09,718 be built, new transit to be 2123 01:17:09,718 --> 01:17:11,718 built near transit. 2124 01:17:13,890 --> 01:17:17,125 Now we move on to our next 2125 01:17:17,125 --> 01:17:17,793 category that comprised of 23 2126 01:17:17,793 --> 01:17:18,360 items within the code update 2127 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,360 under clarifications. 2128 01:17:22,264 --> 01:17:23,640 Note that we will review some 2129 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:23,664 of these items but that more 2130 01:17:23,664 --> 01:17:24,266 detail and all items are 2131 01:17:24,266 --> 01:17:26,666 contained in the backup 2132 01:17:26,801 --> 01:17:27,468

17 The amendment is meant 2146 01:17:50,692 --> 01:17:51,393 to inform development 2147 01:17:51,393 --> 01:17:53,793 applicants to fire defensible 2148 01:17:55,330 --> 01:17:55,864 space buffer MAY be required 2149 01:17:55,864 --> 01:17:58,264 that is greater than 2150 01:17:59,234 --> 01:17:59,901 the setback in the base zone. 2151 01:17:59,901 --> 01:18:00,536 Nothing in this section 2152 01:18:00,536 --> 01:18:02,936 increases the authority of 2153 01:18:04,105 --> 01:18:04,806 the fire marshal but simply 2154 01:18:04,806 --> 01:18:05,507 provides notice and applicant 2155 01:18:05,507 --> 01:18:05,907 that other requirements MAY be 2156 01:18:05,907 --> 01:18:07,907 applicable. 2157 01:18:09,778 --> 01:18:10,445 The Planning Commission 2158 01:18:10,445 --> 01:18:11,146 recommended that step insert 2159 01:18:11,146 --> 01:18:13,546 the defensible space qualifier 2160 01:18:14,983 --> 01:18:15,684 to the fire setback language to 2161 01:18:15,684 --> 01:18:18,840 differentiate between the two 2162 01:18:19,254 --> 01:18:19,721 different requirements in 2163 01:18:19,721 --> 01:18:20,489 the base zones. 2164 01:18:20,489 --> 01:18:23,489 City staff change the amendment 2165 01:18:24,625 --> 01:18:25,360 from fire setback to fire 2166 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:25,994 defensible space for to address 2167 01:18:25,994 --> 01:18:26,729 the Planning

01:18:35,903 --> 01:18:36,638 of at least 50% of the project 2172 01:18:36,638 --> 01:18:40,238 floor areas required to be a 2173 01:18:40,508 --> 01:18:41,210 nonresidential use and 2174 01:18:41,210 --> 01:18:42,100 the remainder area MAY be used 2175 01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:44,410 for either nonresidential or 2176 01:18:45,114 --> 01:18:45,781 residential uses. 2177 01:18:45,781 --> 01:18:46,481 Live work quarters are 2178 01:18:46,481 --> 01:18:48,481 considered nonresidential uses 2179 01:18:50,286 --> 01:18:50,886 even though they provide a 2180 01:18:50,886 --> 01:18:51,620 residential component to 2181 01:18:51,620 --> 01:18:52,210 provide additionally additional 2182 01:18:52,210 --> 01:18:54,210 flexibility. 2183 01:18:55,900 --> 01:18:57,900 The amendment proposal 2184 01:18:58,861 --> 01:18:59,595 clarifies up to 5,050% of live 2185 01:18:59,595 --> 01:19:00,228 work quarters floor area can be 2186 01:19:00,228 --> 01:19:02,628 counted toward the minimum 2187 01:19:02,898 --> 01:19:04,898 nonresidential requirement of 2188 01:19:07,703 --> 01:19:08,437 the impact zone. 2189 01:19:08,437 --> 01:19:10,437 Item 25 Alliance Affordable 2190 01:19:12,740 -->

01:19:18,247 Regulations for Government Code 2194 01:19:18,247 --> 01:19:20,247 Section 663.5 By clarifying 2195 01:19:21,584 --> 01:19:22,284 that equipment size means that 2196 01:19:22,284 --> 01:19:22,951 the replacement dwelling units 2197 01:19:22,951 --> 01:19:25,951 must include the same total 2198 01:19:26,210 --> 01:19:26,489 number of bedrooms as the units 2199 01:19:26,489 --> 01:19:27,389 being replaced. 2200 01:19:27,389 --> 01:19:30,989 This is to ensure that families 2201 01:19:31,627 --> 01:19:32,194 occupying the protected units 2202 01:19:32,194 --> 01:19:32,861 can still qualify for 2203 01:19:32,861 --> 01:19:35,261 the replacement units Since 2204 01:19:35,397 --> 01:19:35,998 bedroom count determines 2205 01:19:35,998 --> 01:19:37,998 the affordability of 2206 01:19:40,736 --> 01:19:41,604 the replacement unit. 2207 01:19:41,604 --> 01:19:42,304 >> Next we focus on code 2208 01:19:42,304 --> 01:19:45,304 amendments that bring the San 2209 01:19:45,407

01:19:50,513 these items but that more 2213 01:19:50,513 --> 01:19:51,113 detail and all items are 2214 01:19:51,113 --> 01:19:51,480 contained in the backup 2215 01:19:51,480 --> 01:19:53,480 materials. 2216 01:19:54,784 --> 01:19:55,450 Please note that the proposal 2217 01:19:55,450 --> 01:19:56,152 amendments simply implement 2218 01:19:56,152 --> 01:20:00,352 state law and do not go beyond 2219 01:20:00,789 --> 01:20:01,123 what is otherwise required by 2220 01:20:01,123 --> 01:20:03,123 item 39. 2221 01:20:05,328 --> 01:20:06,610 Tentative map align aligns with 2222 01:20:06,610

code section 66426. 2229 01:20:16,304 --> 01:20:18,704 The Planning Commission was 2230 01:20:20,909 --> 01:20:21,578 concerned that mixed use zones 2231 01:20:21,578 --> 01:20:22,211 were not explicitly included 2232 01:20:22,211 --> 01:20:25,114 and therefore would not be 2233 01:20:25,114 --> 01:20:25,548 eligible for a tentative map 2234 01:20:25,548 --> 01:20:26,215 waiver. 2235 01:20:26,215 --> 01:20:26,915 City staff added language to 2236 01:20:26,915 --> 01:20:29,552 clarify that the tentative map 2237 01:20:29,552 --> 01:20:30,286 waiver would be allowed in 2238 01:20:30,286 --> 01:20:30,886 mixed use zones for development 2239 01:20:30,886 --> 01:20:33,286 that is consistent with 2240 01:20:36,825 --> 01:20:37,493 the subdivision map Act. 2241 01:20:37,493 --> 01:20:38,127 >> Item 40 allows for 2242 01:20:38,127 --> 01:20:40,527 ministerial approval of a 2243 01:20:41,964 --> 01:20:42,732 subdivision of a 210 dwelling 2244 01:20:42,732 --> 01:20:45,732

significantly and 2779 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:20,574 is something that is largely a 2780 01:36:20,574 --> 01:36:20,874 positive addition to the city's 2781 01:36:20,874 --> 01:36:21,475 code. 2782 01:36:21,475 --> 01:36:24,475 It will benefit not only 2783 01:36:24,711 --> 01:36:25,312 builders but more importantly 2784 01:36:25,312 --> 01:36:25,979 everyone who is feeling 2785 01:36:25,979 --> 01:36:26,312 the pressure of the housing 2786 01:36:26,312 --> 01:36:28,312 deficit. 2787 01:36:29,883 --> 01:36:30,584 I'd like to add that we while 2788 01:36:30,584 --> 01:36:31,285 we support this

maximum 2792 01:36:35,489 --> 01:36:37,489 impact. 2793 01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:40,270 Specifically we believe there's 2794 01:36:40,270 --> 01:36:40,561 an incredible opportunity to 2795 01:36:40,561 --> 01:36:41,194 enhance our for sale 2796 01:36:41,194 --> 01:36:41,629 opportunities through code 2797 01:36:41,629 --> 01:36:43,629 improvements. 2798 01:36:44,298 --> 01:36:44,999 We commit to

Learning 2809 01:37:00,381 --> 01:37:02,381 Center. 2810 01:37:02,817 --> 01:37:03,451 They're the original proponent 2811 01:37:03,451 --> 01:37:06,451 of item 93 on your chart. 2812 01:37:07,588 --> 01:37:08,289 And this came up because of all 2813 01:37:08,289 --> 01:37:08,922 the changes you guys have been 2814 01:37:08,922 --> 01:37:09,556 so great at doing through 2815 01:37:09,556 --> 01:37:09,890 the community plan update 2816 01:37:09,890 --> 01:37:11,890 process. 2817 01:37:12,626 --> 01:37:13,260 We realized a very strange 2818 01:37:13,260 --> 01:37:16,260 quirk of the mcas Miramar 2819 01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:17,765 Airport land use compatibility 2820 01:37:17,765 --> 01:37:18,332 plan prevented child care in 2821 01:37:18,332 --> 01:37:20,332 the transition zones. 2822 01:37:22,503 --> 01:37:23,690 Nowhere else in the city was 2823 01:37:23,690 --> 01:37:23,670 that code change made. 2824 01:37:23,670 --> 01:37:26,700 >> It's a weird quirk. 2825 01:37:26,574 --> 01:37:27,241 We have no idea why it's there 2826 01:37:27,241 --> 01:37:27,541 but it doesn't need to be 2827 01:37:27,541 --> 01:37:28,242 there. 2828 01:37:28,242 --> 01:37:30,642 Particularly since the Kearny 2829 01:37:31,746 --> 01:37:32,380 Mesa and University plans are 2830 01:37:32,380 --> 01:37:32,680 encouraging m x and remix 2831 01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:34,680 zones. 2832 01:37:36,551 --> 01:37:37,251 So there's a lot of development 2833 01:37:37,251 --> 01:37:37,919 happening in that neighborhood 2834 01:37:37,919 --> 01:37:38,653 and we want to put childcare 2835 01:37:38,653 --> 01:37:41,389 where that development will be. 2836 01:37:41,389 --> 01:37:41,689 Many of you know my kids are 2837 01:37:41,689 --> 01:37:42,389 older. 2838 01:37:42,389 --> 01:37:42,890 They don't need child care But 2839 01:37:42,890 --> 01:37:44,890 this is personal. 2840 01:37:45,626 --> 01:37:46,427 I remember the stress when my 2841 01:37:46,427 --> 01:37:50,270 kid was in my stomach 19 years 2842 01:37:50,298 --> 01:37:51,650 ago and I was trying to find 2843 01:37:51,650 --> 01:37:51,599 daycare near where I worked or 2844 01:37:51,599 --> 01:37:52,299 near where I lived. 2845 01:37:52,299 --> 01:37:55,903 And it's not a stress We need 2846 01:37:55,903 --> 01:37:56,237 to have our families go 2847 01:37:56,237 --> 01:37:56,870 through. 2848 01:37:56,870 --> 01:37:57,205 >> So please support that 2849 01:37:57,205 --> 01:37:57,571 change. 2850 01:37:57,571 --> 01:37:59,173 Thank you. 2851 01:37:59,173 --> 01:38:01,173 Thank you, Mindy. 2852 01:38:04,912 --> 01:38:05,513 >> Okay. 2853 01:38:05,513 --> 01:38:06,247 >> Good afternoon Mindy 2854 01:38:06,247 --> 01:38:08,647 Hartstein representing t Mobile 2855 01:38:09,584 --> 01:38:13,184 And I'm very specific as to 2856 01:38:14,389 --> 01:38:15,122 the wireless proposed changes. 2857 01:38:15,122 --> 01:38:15,656 While we are supportive 2858 01:38:15,656 --> 01:38:18,560 obviously of many of 2859 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:19,660 the changes that were in 2860 01:38:19,660 --> 01:38:20,261 equipment enclosure size 2861 01:38:20,261 --> 01:38:22,261 increase increase in 2862 01:38:24,131 --> 01:38:27,131 the antenna stand off distance 2863 01:38:28,202 --> 01:38:29,690 process review shifts which 2864 01:38:29,690 --> 01:38:32,690 allow for quicker review and 2865 01:38:32,573 --> 01:38:33,207 streamlining the process and 2866 01:38:33,207 --> 01:38:33,775 also a path for temporary 2867 01:38:33,775 --> 01:38:34,175 communication wireless 2868 01:38:34,175 --> 01:38:36,175 facilities. 2869 01:38:38,460 --> 01:38:41,460 We do have some concerns 2870 01:38:43,510 --> 01:38:43,350 centered on very specific items 2871 01:38:43,350 --> 01:38:43,951 . 2872 01:38:43,951 --> 01:38:44,652 We've supplied a letter. 2873 01:38:44,652 --> 01:38:47,520 Hopefully you've all received 2874 01:38:48,389 --> 01:38:49,570 that for consideration. 2875 01:38:49,570 --> 01:38:49,824 But one is the small cell 2876 01:38:49,824 --> 01:38:52,824 facility design which is more 2877 01:38:53,595 --> 01:38:56,595 restrictive than the fcc small 2878 01:38:57,565 --> 01:38:58,332 cell order and basically would 2879 01:38:58,332 --> 01:39:01,932 limit height and type of small 2880 01:39:02,302 --> 01:39:03,370 wireless facilities to only 2881 01:39:03,370 --> 01:39:03,637 light pole attachments And that 2882 01:39:03,637 --> 01:39:06,637 should not be the case. 2883 01:39:08,376 --> 01:39:09,110 >> I'm running out of time but 2884 01:39:09,110 --> 01:39:12,110 for a temporary community Thank 2885 01:39:12,380 --> 01:39:13,381 you for that Comments. 2886 01:39:13,381 --> 01:39:14,820 We've asked for a I do have to 2887 01:39:14,820 --> 01:39:17,485 be fair to everybody but thank 2888 01:39:17,485 --> 01:39:17,818 you for that Concluding 2889 01:39:17,818 --> 01:39:18,486 comment. 2890 01:39:18,486 --> 01:39:21,486 Jeffrey Tudor you have times 2891 01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:22,724

2895 01:39:33,401 --> 01:39:34,102 Oh okay. 2896 01:39:34,102 --> 01:39:37,102 Maybe you get maintenance on 2897 01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:38,473 this or get it into the budget 2898 01:39:38,473 --> 01:39:39,400 I think. 2899 01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,400 >> All right. 2900 01:39:42,510 --> 01:39:43,311 Council members so we don't 2901 01:39:43,311 --> 01:39:43,978 have a lot of input on this 2902 01:39:43,978 --> 01:39:44,312 year's land development code 2903 01:39:44,312 --> 01:39:46,312 update. 2904 01:39:47,682 --> 01:39:48,316 We interact with staff 2905 01:39:48,316 --> 01:39:50,716 previously in the process. 2906 01:39:52,721 --> 01:39:53,621 It's a fairly technical package 2907 01:39:53,621 --> 01:39:54,389 this year But I did want to do 2908 01:39:54,389 --> 01:39:57,626 is if you go to the next slide 2909 01:39:57,626 --> 01:39:58,293 just focus on one of the items 2910 01:39:58,293 --> 01:40:01,293 in here that MAY be 2911 01:40:02,531 --> 01:40:03,990 underestimated and 103 and 2912 01:40:03,990 --> 01:40:03,598 that's the small light 2913 01:40:03,598 --> 01:40:05,598 subdivision item. 2914 01:40:06,868 --> 01:40:07,536 This is a implementation of 2915 01:40:07,536 --> 01:40:09,936 something called the Starter 2916 01:40:11,506 --> 01:40:11,840 Starter Home Revitalization Act 2917 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:12,707 . 2918 01:40:12,707 --> 01:40:13,575 And what it does is it allows 2919 01:40:13,575 --> 01:40:17,445 you to subdivide a lot and this 2920 01:40:17,445 --> 01:40:18,148 is ministerial in a sense It's 2921 01:40:18,148 --> 01:40:21,715 like sb ten but not something 2922 01:40:21,715 --> 01:40:22,417 we opt into as ministerial You 2923 01:40:22,417 --> 01:40:22,818 can create a subdivision of up 2924 01:40:22,818 --> 01:40:24,818 to ten lots. 2925 01:40:26,755 --> 01:40:30,925 The building on those can be up 2926 01:40:30,925 --> 01:40:31,660 to 1700 and 50ft and you can 2927 01:40:31,660 --> 01:40:32,393 subdivide down to a minimum lot 2928 01:40:32,393 --> 01:40:35,393 size of 1200 square feet and 2929 01:40:35,997 --> 01:40:38,397 that's actually consistent with 2930 01:40:39,768 --> 01:40:40,680 what for example we do with sb 2931 01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:40,702 nine. 2932 01:40:40,702 --> 01:40:41,470 The difference is is this 2933 01:40:41,470 --> 01:40:44,470 doesn't have a home ownership 2934 01:40:44,872 --> 01:40:45,741 requirement but what it does 2935 01:40:45,741 --> 01:40:49,941 but it is limited to our vacant 2936 01:40:50,110 --> 01:40:50,645 lots which is either there 2937 01:40:50,645 --> 01:40:51,446 completely empty or mostly 2938 01:40:51,446 --> 01:40:55,646 empty as it turns out with some 2939 01:40:57,386 --> 01:40:58,253 other restrictions. 2940 01:40:58,253 --> 01:41:02,324 There is a far flung area ratio 2941 01:41:02,324 --> 01:41:03,191 increase that comes with this. 2942 01:41:03,191 --> 01:41:04,590 So whereas on a typical single 2943 01:41:04,590 --> 01:41:06,895 family lot you would be allowed 2944 01:41:06,895 --> 01:41:07,562 say you know 3000ft of 2945 01:41:07,562 --> 01:41:09,962 development on a 5000 square 2946 01:41:11,934 --> 01:41:12,534 foot lot, this basically 2947 01:41:12,534 --> 01:41:13,468 doubles that to 6000. 2948 01:41:13,468 --> 01:41:16,805 So that far increase is not 2949 01:41:16,805 --> 01:41:18,805 insignificant. 2950 01:41:20,842 --> 01:41:21,577 And then there's also item 40 2951 01:41:21,577 --> 01:41:24,577 which does this for multifamily 2952 01:41:25,681 --> 01:41:26,348 lots But for the sake of 2953 01:41:26,348 --> 01:41:26,714 completeness I'll just skip 2954 01:41:26,714 --> 01:41:27,282 over that. 2955 01:41:27,282 --> 01:41:30,510 Go to the next slide. 2956 01:41:30,510 --> 01:41:30,919 This is basically what it looks 2957 01:41:30,919 --> 01:41:31,720 like You have a large lot maybe 2958 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:35,858 it has one house on it and you 2959 01:41:35,858 --> 01:41:36,358 can subdivide that and now 2960 01:41:36,358 --> 01:41:38,358 create 11 parcels. 2961 01:41:40,962 --> 01:41:41,663 Yeah with ten new items. 2962 01:41:41,663 --> 01:41:42,598 Now go to the next slide. 2963 01:41:42,598 --> 01:41:45,334 And this is really what I want 2964 01:41:45,334 --> 01:41:46,101 to talk about. 2965 01:41:46,101 --> 01:41:49,101 This is all new restricted 2966 01:41:49,405 --> 01:41:49,972 vacant lots and it has 2967 01:41:49,972 --> 01:41:50,671 exemptions for certain 2968 01:41:50,671 --> 01:41:52,671 environmentally sensitive and 2969 01:41:54,810 --> 01:41:55,511 fire areas And we think that's 2970 01:41:55,511 --> 01:41:56,111 a useful part of this because 2971 01:41:56,111 --> 01:41:58,511 rather than applying it 2972 01:41:59,113 --> 01:41:59,715 everywhere in the city and 2973 01:41:59,715 --> 01:42:00,315 putting that development 2974 01:42:00,315 --> 01:42:02,715 pressure on every single 2975 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:05,187 homeowner, this is only for a 2976 01:42:05,187 --> 01:42:08,187 certain and we've created a 2977 01:42:08,356 --> 01:42:09,580 market where people can come in 2978 01:42:09,580 --> 01:42:09,791 and develop these vacant lots 2979 01:42:09,791 --> 01:42:13,391 and a market where somebody who 2980 01:42:14,263 --> 01:42:14,930 just wants to buy a house and 2981 01:42:14,930 --> 01:42:15,597 live in it isn't facing that 2982 01:42:15,597 --> 01:42:17,597 competition from developers. 2983 01:42:19,335 --> 01:42:20,690 So we think that's an important 2984 01:42:20,690 --> 01:42:23,669 feature And the final aspect to 2985 01:42:23,772 --> 01:42:24,406 this is if you go to the last 2986 01:42:24,406 --> 01:42:24,974 slide is we have something 2987 01:42:24,974 --> 01:42:26,974 that's ongoing called 2988 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:28,344 neighborhood homes for all of 2989 01:42:28,344 --> 01:42:29,780 us. 2990 01:42:29,780 --> 01:42:32,281 And rather than create a whole 2991 01:42:32,281 --> 01:42:32,948 new set of development 2992 01:42:32,948 --> 01:42:33,749 regulations for that program 2993 01:42:33,749 --> 01:42:37,949 but we would like to use is 2994 01:42:40,456 --> 01:42:41,123 that program to create 2995 01:42:41,123 --> 01:42:41,457 pre-approved plans for that 2996 01:42:41,457 --> 01:42:43,457 program. 2997 01:42:43,525 --> 01:42:46,525 Thank you for that Concluding 2998 01:42:48,330 --> 01:42:51,330 comment, Bob, because it's we 2999 01:42:53,234 --> 01:42:53,936 all know that real estate is 3000 01:42:53,936 --> 01:42:54,303 the most valuable resource in 3001 01:42:54,303 --> 01:42:56,303 this city. 3002 01:42:57,740 --> 01:42:58,440 It's obvious that this current 3003 01:42:58,440 --> 01:43:01,440 item reflects the ongoing and 3004 01:43:02,278 --> 01:43:03,120 continuous housing pressure 3005 01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:03,412 resulting from our ever growing 3006 01:43:03,412 --> 01:43:05,412 population. 3007 01:43:08,250 --> 01:43:08,884 If you ask your constituents 3008 01:43:08,884 --> 01:43:11,353 they will tell you that 3009 01:43:11,353 --> 01:43:12,540 population is the one problem 3010 01:43:12,540 --> 01:43:12,521 in this city that drives all 3011 01:43:12,521 --> 01:43:14,521 other problems. 3012 01:43:16,359 --> 01:43:17,590 Yet this city government 3013 01:43:17,590 --> 01:43:20,590 continues to conduct the city 3014 01:43:21,163 --> 01:43:21,831 of San Diego as a sanctuary 3015 01:43:21,831 --> 01:43:22,198 city worsening all of these 3016 01:43:22,198 --> 01:43:24,198 problems. 3017 01:43:26,402 --> 01:43:27,350 I suspect all members of this 3018 01:43:27,350 --> 01:43:27,703 council are suffering from 3019 01:43:27,703 --> 01:43:30,103 stage four Trump Derangement 3020 01:43:30,873 --> 01:43:31,641 Syndrome. 3021 01:43:31,641 --> 01:43:32,208 What other excuse do you have 3022 01:43:32,208 --> 01:43:34,608 for refusing to place 3023 01:43:36,110 --> 01:43:36,745 the picture of our PRESIDENT In 3024 01:43:36,745 --> 01:43:40,583 the place

01:45:26,356 --> 01:45:26,690 communities should grow, they 3099 01:45:26,690 --> 01:45:27,357 should. 3100 01:45:27,357 --> 01:45:30,357 The issue was whether growth 3101 01:45:30,527 -->

strengthen 3125 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:14,871 this ordinance even further by 3126 01:46:14,871 --> 01:46:17,271 expanding it beyond site 3127 01:46:19,576 --> 01:46:20,276 signage its cannabis on site

environmental 3566 02:00:15,850 --> 02:00:16,416 appeals that would increase 3567 02:00:16,416 --> 02:00:17,510 fees for projects and 3568 02:00:17,510 --> 02:00:19,510 environmental appeals that 3569 02:00:21,188 --> 02:00:21,689 would align with fees charged 3570 02:00:21,689 --> 02:00:22,456 by other cities. 3571 02:00:22,456 --> 02:00:22,990 I don't think that has anything 3572 02:00:22,990 --> 02:00:25,990 to do with our city. 3573 02:00:26,861 --> 02:00:27,561 Your city fee should be 3574 02:00:27,561 --> 02:00:27,995 tailored to the city, not to 3575 02:00:27,995 --> 02:00:28,695 other

02:00:35,236 --> 02:00:37,636 against low income communities 3580 02:00:39,540 --> 02:00:40,241 and all they do is serve as a 3581 02:00:40,241 --> 02:00:40,608 deterrent never to appeal such 3582

02:02:39,193 --> 02:02:41,593 have to collect abatement 3656 02:02:42,530 --> 02:02:43,231 impact fees and assure that 3657 02:02:43,231 --> 02:02:43,931 the city is actually providing 3658

02:09:13,722 here. 3909 02:09:13,722 --> 02:09:17,922 As I said before, I'll say it 3910 02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:18,862 again we need homes and small 3911 02:09:18,862 --> 02:09:19,329 businesses in my district, in 3912 02:09:19,329 --> 02:09:21,329 our communities. 3913 02:09:23,500 --> 02:09:24,200 We don't need more spaces for 3914 02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:26,600 folks from other neighborhoods 3915 02:09:28,905 --> 02:09:29,606 to store their stuff And each 3916 02:09:29,606 --> 02:09:30,340 of those facilities deprives 3917 02:09:30,340 --> 02:09:33,340 the community of an opportunity 3918 02:09:35,211 --> 02:09:35,812 to build housing So I'm glad 3919 02:09:35,812 --> 02:09:36,513 we're making that move. 3920 02:09:36,513 --> 02:09:39,513 District nine City Heights and 3921 02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:41,685 other parts of the city are not 3922 02:09:41,685 --> 02:09:42,352 the storage centers for 3923 02:09:42,352 --> 02:09:42,986 wealthier parts of the city. 3924 02:09:42,986 --> 02:09:44,986 They're neighborhoods that 3925 02:09:47,424 --> 02:09:48,124 deserve respect and along those 3926 02:09:48,124 --> 02:09:51,124 lines increasing the fines for 3927 02:09:53,930 --> 02:09:54,631 abandoned properties I think is 3928 02:09:54,631 --> 02:09:54,931 a very important thing for us 3929 02:09:54,931 --> 02:09:55,799 to do. 3930 02:09:55,799 --> 02:09:59,399 It's been far too easy for 3931 02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:00,737 disrespectful property owners 3932 02:10:00,737 --> 02:10:04,337 to hoard property, leave it in 3933 02:10:05,642 --> 02:10:06,310 an abandoned state which has 3934 02:10:06,310 --> 02:10:08,710 negative impacts on property 3935 02:10:11,247 --> 02:10:11,949 values, safety and just general 3936 02:10:11,949 --> 02:10:12,649 quality of life in my district 3937 02:10:12,649 --> 02:10:16,849 in other parts of the city as 3938 02:10:16,954 --> 02:10:17,621 well and ensuring that 3939 02:10:17,621 --> 02:10:18,355 the penalties for those bad 3940 02:10:18,355 --> 02:10:21,355 actors are sufficient enough to 3941 02:10:23,894 --> 02:10:24,494 actually discourage that 3942 02:10:24,494 --> 02:10:25,128 behavior in a city where 3943 02:10:25,128 --> 02:10:28,128 holding on to property can 3944 02:10:29,332 --> 02:10:30,100 produce so much profit over 3945 02:10:30,100 --> 02:10:30,800 the course of time I think is 3946 02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:31,501 an important step to make sure 3947 02:10:31,501 --> 02:10:32,135 that all our neighborhoods get 3948 02:10:32,135 --> 02:10:34,535 the respect they deserve. 3949 02:10:37,730 --> 02:10:37,574 So thank you again for all 3950 02:10:37,574 --> 02:10:38,275 the work on this. 3951 02:10:38,275 --> 02:10:38,909 i very much appreciate it

02:11:37,501 --> 02:11:38,268 about a fee going up to 2400. 3998 02:11:38,268 --> 02:11:38,636 Can you elaborate on what that 3999 02:11:38,636 --> 02:11:40,636 might be? 4000 02:11:43,674 --> 02:11:44,341 Is that an appeal fee? 4001 02:11:44,341 --> 02:11:46,741 Yeah, I believe that 4002 02:11:49,914 --> 02:11:50,514 the reference was to the appeal 4003 02:11:50,514 --> 02:11:51,181 fees of lots of planning 4004 02:11:51,181 --> 02:11:53,581 commission and city council. 4005 02:11:54,180 --> 02:11:54,718 The fees are proposed to 4006 02:11:54,718 --> 02:11:57,118 increase from 1000 to 1140 for 4007 02:11:59,390 --> 02:12:00,570 appeals to planning commission 4008 02:12:00,570 --> 02:12:00,723 and the appeals from City 4009 02:12:00,723 --> 02:12:03,723 council are currently set at

--> 02:12:22,379 understood. 4017 02:12:22,379 --> 02:12:24,548 So essentially $1,000 more is 4018 02:12:24,548 --> 02:12:25,182 what it takes to get to 4019 02:12:25,182 --> 02:12:25,883 Costco's 1%

02:12:30,421 --> 02:12:30,955 >> They currently are not at 4024 02:12:30,955 --> 02:12:31,255 100% cost recovery. 4025 02:12:31,255 --> 02:12:33,255 I see. 4026 02:12:35,760 --> 02:12:36,427 Okay I do agree with what 4027 02:12:36,427 --> 02:12:37,280 the caller pointed out that 4028 02:12:37,280 --> 02:12:40,280 there are there are some 4029 02:12:41,765 --> 02:12:42,466 planning groups and individuals 4030 02:12:42,466 --> 02:12:43,134 who sometimes struggle to get 4031 02:12:43,134 --> 02:12:43,700 that money together when an 4032 02:12:43,700 --> 02:12:45,700 appeal is successful. 4033 02:12:46,700 --> 02:12:49,670 This appeal for refund in order 4034 02:12:52,900 --> 02:12:54,900 is it not? 4035 02:12:58,582 --> 02:12:58,983 >> It is not okay. 4036 02:12:58,983 -->

you appeal and you 4040 02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:06,357 win and maybe you should get it 4041 02:13:06,357 --> 02:13:06,991 back. 4042 02:13:06,991 --> 02:13:07,458 But I understand it's not 4043

02:26:50,652 and water usage in the city. 4548 02:26:50,652 --> 02:26:51,352 >> There is also now a 4549 02:26:51,352 --> 02:26:53,752 projected flattening of water 4550 02:26:55,991 --> 02:26:56,657 demand out to the year 2050 for 4551 02:26:56,657 --> 02:26:57,124 the development of the 2025 4552 02:26:57,124 --> 02:26:57,792 demand forecast. 4553 02:26:57,792 --> 02:26:59,792 >> Additionally analyze our 4554 02:27:02,300 --> 02:27:02,697 historic water usage and legacy 4555 02:27:02,697 --> 02:27:03,398 forecast from previous urban 4556 02:27:03,398 --> 02:27:06,398 water management plans as can 4557 02:27:07,435 --> 02:27:08,170 be seen on the slide similar to 4558 02:27:08,170 --> 02:27:08,803 the previous graph on Slide six 4559 02:27:08,803 --> 02:27:09,470 the blue line illustrates 4560 02:27:09,470 --> 02:27:12,470 the historic water usage for 4561 02:27:14,242 --> 02:27:14,976 potable water demand in 4562 02:27:14,976 --> 02:27:15,577 the city and the hash line show 4563 02:27:15,577 --> 02:27:16,144 the pass for urban water 4564 02:27:16,144 --> 02:27:18,144 management plan demand 4565 02:27:19,548 --> 02:27:19,847 forecasts for historic water 4566 02:27:19,847 --> 02:27:20,515 usage. 4567 02:27:20,515 --> 02:27:23,515 The city's water demand has 4568 02:27:24,286 --> 02:27:24,886 decreased by 34% over the past 4569 02:27:24,886 --> 02:27:26,886 two decades despite 4570 02:27:28,957 --> 02:27:29,558 the population growing from 4571 02:27:29,558 --> 02:27:30,258 1.29 million in 2007 to 4572 02:27:30,258 --> 02:27:33,258 the current peak customer base 4573 02:27:34,960 --> 02:27:34,463 of nearly 1.4 million 4574 02:27:34,463 --> 02:27:35,990 residents. 4575 02:27:35,990 --> 02:27:35,664 This is primarily based on 4576 02:27:35,664 --> 02:27:36,298 statewide droughts and 4577 02:27:36,298 --> 02:27:38,298 subsequent mandatory water 4578 02:27:40,702 --> 02:27:41,403 conservation regulations that 4579 02:27:41,403 --> 02:27:41,703 have decreased customer water 4580 02:27:41,703 --> 02:27:42,371 usage. 4581 02:27:42,371 --> 02:27:45,371 When looking at the previous 4582 02:27:46,740 --> 02:27:46,675 urban water management plan 4583 02:27:46,675 --> 02:27:47,309 forecasts, the city has 4584 02:27:47,309 --> 02:27:47,642 historically overestimated 4585 02:27:47,642 --> 02:27:48,310 demand. 4586 02:27:48,310 --> 02:27:51,910 A primary driver of this is 4587 02:27:52,648 --> 02:27:53,381 the use of regional growth 4588 02:27:53,381 --> 02:27:53,882 forecasts which are required by 4589 02:27:53,882 --> 02:27:54,483 market guidelines. 4590 02:27:54,483 --> 02:27:56,883 However, in more recent 4591 02:27:58,654 --> 02:27:59,388 iterations our urban water 4592 02:27:59,388 --> 02:27:59,754 management plans have been more 4593 02:27:59,754 --> 02:28:00,455 accurate. 4594 02:28:00,455 --> 02:28:03,455 Puti updated its water demand 4595 02:28:04,626 --> 02:28:05,326 modeling methodology 4596 02:28:05,326 --> 02:28:05,928

02:34:32,983 --> 02:34:35,983 the public process and working 4840 02:34:37,487 --> 02:34:37,822 with water board issues 4841 02:34:37,822 --> 02:34:38,555 overall. 4842 02:34:38,555 --> 02:34:41,555 I

Imagine what the public process 4856 02:35:07,551 --> 02:35:08,251 was like in times of war in 911 4857 02:35:08,251 --> 02:35:11,251 compared to now We're starting 4858 02:35:12,790 --> 02:35:13,457 to ask questions more and be 4859 02:35:13,457 --> 02:35:17,570 more open and clear and that 4860 02:35:19,128 --> 02:35:19,729 develops better reasoning and 4861 02:35:19,729 --> 02:35:20,430 that is our future. 4862 02:35:20,430 --> 02:35:21,165 Good luck in the efforts What 4863 02:35:21,165 --> 02:35:21,531 you can do with the water board 4864 02:35:21,531 --> 02:35:21,899 with this. 4865

item it is 4869 02:35:35,846 --> 02:35:38,846 population that drives all of 4870 02:35:40,517 --> 02:35:41,510 this city's major problems 4871 02:35:41,510 --> 02:35:43,510 including water use. 4872 02:35:45,823 --> 02:35:46,523 Virtually all citizens would 4873 02:35:46,523 --> 02:35:46,824 prefer a less crowded San 4874 02:35:46,824 --> 02:35:48,824 Diego. 4875 02:35:50,961 --> 02:35:51,662 However, it is our growing 4876 02:35:51,662 --> 02:35:54,662 population that makes each of 4877 02:35:57,134 --> 02:35:57,767 you more powerful and more 4878 02:35:57,767 --> 02:35:58,402 likely to ascend to higher 4879 02:35:58,402 --> 02:36:00,802 offices in our government. 4880 02:36:03,574 --> 02:36:04,175 I think that's a pretty fair 4881 02:36:04,175 --> 02:36:04,541 characterization of our 4882 02:36:04,541 --> 02:36:06,541 problems. 4883 02:36:09,113 --> 02:36:09,646 Thank you for the five minute 4884 02:36:09,646 --> 02:36:10,247 time record of those 4885 02:36:10,247 -->

02:36:31,101 --> 02:36:31,402 and the presentation that was 4897 02:36:31,402 --> 02:36:33,402 given. 4898 02:36:35,139 --> 02:36:35,940 It's really good presentation. 4899 02:36:35,940 --> 02:36:36,273 I encourage the staff to look 4900 02:36:36,273 --> 02:36:36,974 into it. 4901 02:36:36,974 --> 02:36:37,641 i'm sure they have already but 4902 02:36:37,641 --> 02:36:40,641 I really encourage them into 4903 02:36:43,414 --> 02:36:43,981 looking into permaculture water 4904 02:36:43,981 --> 02:36:44,682 collection devices and 4905 02:36:44,682 --> 02:36:46,682 permaculture water collection 4906 02:36:48,953 --> 02:36:49,988 just in general. 4907 02:36:49,988 --> 02:36:54,525 I did not see and excuse me if 4908 02:36:54,525 --> 02:36:55,326 I if I missed it I'm doing some 4909 02:36:55,326 --> 02:36:55,993 cleaning right now so I just 4910 02:36:55,993 --> 02:36:56,794 hearing the presentation out 4911 02:36:56,794 --> 02:37:00,310 loud but I did not see anything 4912 02:37:00,310 --> 02:37:00,798 about collection of rainwater 4913 02:37:00,798 --> 02:37:03,798 from rooftops All of our 4914 02:37:05,903 --> 02:37:06,570 rooftops are enormous pools an 4915 02:37:06,570 --> 02:37:07,305 enormous wasted opportunity 4916 02:37:07,305 --> 02:37:10,905 currently in all of our gutters 4917 02:37:11,410 --> 02:37:11,642 because they're just going 4918 02:37:11,642 --> 02:37:12,410 right into storm drains. 4919 02:37:12,410 --> 02:37:16,100 All of that is mostly clean 4920 02:37:16,647 --> 02:37:17,281 water and I say mostly because 4921 02:37:17,281 --> 02:37:17,982 it's acidic and that's why 4922 02:37:17,982 --> 02:37:18,648 we're having problems with our 4923 02:37:18,648 --> 02:37:21,648 avocado growers in San Diego 4924 02:37:22,119 --> 02:37:22,820 that have traditionally done so 4925 02:37:22,820 --> 02:37:23,521 well because our we have so 4926 02:37:23,521 --> 02:37:26,521 much contamination in the air 4927 02:37:27,558 --> 02:37:28,359 now that it's causing more 4928 02:37:28,359 --> 02:37:29,260 acidic more acidity in our in 4929 02:37:29,260 --> 02:37:29,526 our water which is affecting 4930 02:37:29,526 --> 02:37:31,926 our crops as well. 4931 02:37:33,300 --> 02:37:37,230 But anyway, we can we can work 4932 02:37:39,137 --> 02:37:42,137 on that reducing the or 4933 02:37:42,452 --> 02:37:44,475 balancing a each of the water 4934 02:37:44,475 --> 02:37:45,143 reducing its contaminants But 4935 02:37:45,143 --> 02:37:45,843 in essence we should be 4936 02:37:45,843 --> 02:37:46,444 collecting all that rainwater. 4937 02:37:46,444 --> 02:37:50,440 If we if we invested in 4938 02:37:50,810 --> 02:37:50,948 rainwater storage collection 4939 02:37:50,948 --> 02:37:51,716 tanks that would be a huge way 4940 02:37:51,716 --> 02:37:55,316 to go about getting ahead of 4941 02:37:56,921 --> 02:37:57,622 this problem. 4942 02:37:57,622 --> 02:37:58,356 >> So time has concluded. 4943 02:37:58,356 --> 02:38:01,192 The next is the original If you 4944 02:38:01,192 --> 02:38:01,925 can please email. 4945 02:38:01,925 --> 02:38:02,593 I'm wondering what's coming 4946 02:38:02,593 --> 02:38:06,193 down the pike because as you 4947 02:38:07,980 --> 02:38:07,698 talk about a water shortage we 4948 02:38:07,698 --> 02:38:08,366 always know that there's 4949 02:38:08,366 --> 02:38:11,366 something that's going to be 4950 02:38:12,360 --> 02:38:12,670 coming and you know it's all 4951 02:38:12,670 --> 02:38:13,404 about control controlling 4952 02:38:13,404 --> 02:38:17,400 the resources And when you guys 4953 02:38:17,675 --> 02:38:18,476 put in your smart meters then 4954 02:38:18,476 --> 02:38:19,143 when you say that people have 4955 02:38:19,143 --> 02:38:19,877 used too much water you can, 4956 02:38:19,877 --> 02:38:22,814 you know, shut it off And I 4957 02:38:22,814 --> 02:38:23,448 mean this already came down 4958 02:38:23,448 --> 02:38:24,115 because you guys have been 4959 02:38:24,115 --> 02:38:24,816 talking about a drought and 4960 02:38:24,816 --> 02:38:28,416 it's like you don't really act 4961 02:38:28,685 --> 02:38:29,530 like we're having problems with 4962 02:38:29,530 --> 02:38:29,954 the water. 4963 02:38:29,954 --> 02:38:32,590 I mean you buy it, you sell it 4964 02:38:32,590 --> 02:38:33,291 when you're transferring it 4965 02:38:33,291 --> 02:38:34,580 like 50% of it gets lost. 4966 02:38:34,580 --> 02:38:37,762 I mean it's just the way that 4967 02:38:37,762 --> 02:38:38,596 you guys treat it. 4968 02:38:38,596 --> 02:38:39,297 It's it's not it's scarcity And 4969 02:38:39,297 --> 02:38:40,980 that's the problem is that you 4970 02:38:40,980 --> 02:38:43,701 want to say it is but your 4971 02:38:43,701 --> 02:38:44,402 actions speak louder than that 4972 02:38:44,402 --> 02:38:45,103 because you wouldn't like pour 4973 02:38:45,103 --> 02:38:48,706 half of the glass of water out 4974 02:38:48,706 --> 02:38:49,374 if that's all you had left you 4975 02:38:49,374 --> 02:38:50,410 would make sure that you're 4976 02:38:50,410 --> 02:38:50,541 preserving it and you can't 4977 02:38:50,541 --> 02:38:52,941 even keep up with 4978 02:38:53,811 --> 02:38:54,612 the infrastructure that is 4979 02:38:54,612 --> 02:38:55,279 needed to make sure that we 4980 02:38:55,279 --> 02:38:55,980 have an abundance of water. 4981 02:38:55,980 --> 02:38:56,481 And the problem is is that you 4982 02:38:56,481 --> 02:38:58,881 can drill for it. 4983 02:38:59,617 --> 02:39:00,318 You guys want to give us back 4984 02:39:00,318 --> 02:39:01,520 our own sewage and put a bunch 4985 02:39:01,520 --> 02:39:04,188 of chemicals in it and say that 4986 02:39:04,188 --> 02:39:05,560 it's cleaner than the Colorado 4987 02:39:05,560 --> 02:39:05,656 River And it's like I mean how 4988 02:39:05,656 --> 02:39:08,656 is that when you're like 4989 02:39:09,260 --> 02:39:10,280 literally talk supplying it 4990 02:39:10,280 --> 02:39:10,795 with things that are deadly to 4991 02:39:10,795 --> 02:39:14,395 the human body and then saying 4992 02:39:15,660 --> 02:39:15,767 that it's better I mean it's 4993 02:39:15,767 --> 02:39:19,967 just sad the way that you guys 4994 02:39:20,271 --> 02:39:20,972 treat our resources and how you 4995 02:39:20,972 --> 02:39:21,706 treat the people and act like 4996 02:39:21,706 --> 02:39:22,440 you know, don't have a lawn and 4997 02:39:22,440 --> 02:39:25,376 don't do this because it's such 4998 02:39:25,376 --> 02:39:26,244 a scarcity again you wouldn't 4999 02:39:26,244 --> 02:39:30,215 buy and sell it like you do and 5000 02:39:30,215 --> 02:39:31,160 treat it like a business If it 5001 02:39:31,160 --> 02:39:31,683 was in scarce demand and you 5002 02:39:31,683 --> 02:39:32,384 should drill for it but you 5003 02:39:32,384 --> 02:39:34,784 won't because it's not 5004 02:39:36,254 --> 02:39:36,921 profitable. 5005 02:39:36,921 --> 02:39:37,689 >> Your time has concluded 5006 02:39:37,689 --> 02:39:41,289 Don't stop if you can please 5007 02:39:46,640 --> 02:39:46,865 And you are water It's one of 5008 02:39:46,865 --> 02:39:49,865 the essentials along with air 5009 02:39:54,306 --> 02:39:56,306 and food Water. 5010 02:40:00,110 --> 02:40:00,712 Your chart is flawed First of 5011 02:40:00,712 --> 02:40:01,460 all you've got 12% as non 5012 02:40:01,460 --> 02:40:03,460 revenue. 5013 02:40:04,883 --> 02:40:05,650 What does that mean? 5014 02:40:05,650 --> 02:40:08,650 Does that mean leak just 5015 02:40:09,354 --> 02:40:10,210 leakage or does it mean 5016 02:40:10,210 --> 02:40:10,655 the water that's given to 5017 02:40:10,655 --> 02:40:13,655 the city or your friends? 5018 02:40:14,860 --> 02:40:18,460 Is that the water tap that 5019 02:40:19,865 --> 02:40:20,531 fills the choice lake Every day 5020 02:40:20,531 --> 02:40:22,931 with potable treated water? 5021 02:40:25,169 --> 02:40:28,769 The second thing is you group 5022 02:40:29,775 --> 02:40:30,409 in irrigate you you group an 5023 02:40:30,409 --> 02:40:32,409 irrigation both decorative 5024

a data center in Georgia. 5051 02:41:30,535 --> 02:41:32,935 >> Good news today that 30 5052 02:41:34,139 --> 02:41:34,873 million gallons of water was 5053 02:41:34,873 --> 02:41:38,473 basically like not paid for and 5054 02:41:39,545 --> 02:41:40,278 wasted and nobody noticed. 5055 02:41:40,278 --> 02:41:40,879 I know that we're looking at 5056 02:41:40,879 --> 02:41:43,879 the same valley and like 5057 02:41:44,483 --> 02:41:45,150 different projects and we 5058 02:41:45,150 --> 02:41:48,150 should consider that and we 5059 02:41:49,421 --> 02:41:50,121 should consider the you know, 5060 02:41:50,121 --> 02:41:50,789 paying close attention whoever 5061 02:41:50,789 --> 02:41:53,189 feels this particular issue 5062 02:41:54,250 --> 02:41:54,860 closest to their heart. 5063 02:41:54,860 --> 02:41:55,561 You know, when you have some 5064 02:41:55,561 --> 02:41:58,561 free time to investigate, dig 5065 02:41:58,664 --> 02:41:59,331 around and see what people are 5066 02:41:59,331 --> 02:41:59,931 doing Something like this 30 5067 02:41:59,931 --> 02:42:02,331 million gallons of water 5068 02:42:04,470 --> 02:42:05,271 without paying for it or nobody 5069 02:42:05,271 --> 02:42:05,871 even knew about it, I feel like 5070 02:42:05,871 --> 02:42:06,205 that could happen to us 5071 02:42:06,205 --> 02:42:08,205 Quickly. 5072 02:42:08,874 --> 02:42:09,575 Another thing I want to bring 5073 02:42:09,575 --> 02:42:10,342 up about the water is like 5074 02:42:10,342 --> 02:42:13,342 maybe when we are approving 5075 02:42:14,313 --> 02:42:14,914 massive buildouts for 5076 02:42:14,914 --> 02:42:16,914 businesses specifically 5077 02:42:19,451 --> 02:42:20,152 businesses like the I fly that 5078 02:42:20,152 --> 02:42:20,619 like place where you would be 5079 02:42:20,619 --> 02:42:22,619 like skydiving. 5080 02:42:24,490 --> 02:42:25,191 I do think that there's an 5081 02:42:25,191 --> 02:42:25,958 impact in the amount of water 5082 02:42:25,958 --> 02:42:29,762 it takes to build a place like 5083 02:42:29,762 --> 02:42:30,196 that that really just didn't 5084 02:42:30,196 --> 02:42:30,930 have a future. 5085 02:42:30,930 --> 02:42:31,964 Like if you had presented that 5086 02:42:31,964 --> 02:42:34,533 idea to me to build that in San 5087 02:42:34,533 --> 02:42:35,200 Diego I'd be like That sounds 5088 02:42:35,200 --> 02:42:38,800 kind of novel and maybe that 5089 02:42:38,871 --> 02:42:39,210 would be fun for like a few 5090 02:42:39,210 --> 02:42:39,939 months. 5091 02:42:39,939 --> 02:42:40,572 But with the costs associated 5092 02:42:40,572 --> 02:42:43,275 and the whole production I 5093 02:42:43,275 --> 02:42:43,576 probably would have rejected it 5094 02:42:43,576 --> 02:42:44,343 . 5095 02:42:44,343 --> 02:42:47,943 So I think stuff like that 5096 02:42:48,347 --> 02:42:49,810 would be helpful in conserving 5097 02:42:49,810 --> 02:42:49,715 the water and then just keeping 5098 02:42:49,715 --> 02:42:53,686 the rates low for us is to 5099 02:42:53,686 --> 02:42:54,353 watch out for things like 5100 02:42:54,353 --> 02:42:54,652 the two things I just talked 5101 02:42:54,652 --> 02:42:55,870 about. 5102 02:42:55,870 --> 02:42:55,821 >> Thank you. 5103 02:42:55,821 --> 02:42:58,758 Thank you Hector If you can 5104 02:42:58,758 --> 02:42:59,626 please unmute. 5105 02:42:59,626 --> 02:43:00,292 >> Thanks for taking my call. 5106 02:43:00,292 --> 02:43:00,693 I know something about this 5107 02:43:00,693 --> 02:43:02,693 water thing. 5108 02:43:03,696 --> 02:43:03,996 I've been following the lake 5109 02:43:03,996 --> 02:43:04,663 thing. 5110 02:43:04,663 --> 02:43:05,264 There's a lake website that 5111 02:43:05,264 --> 02:43:07,833 does all the lakes in 5112 02:43:07,833 -->

intake level and 5125 02:43:36,495 --> 02:43:37,296 they're on their third one. 5126 02:43:37,296 --> 02:43:40,800 They made a one about ten years 5127 02:43:40,800 --> 02:43:41,601 ago down really low and Arizona 5128 02:43:41,601 --> 02:43:42,335 was getting a lot of water too. 5129 02:43:42,335 --> 02:43:45,471 So they're talking I don't know 5130 02:43:45,471 --> 02:43:46,238 if they're

handle it but one 5134 02:43:52,811 --> 02:43:55,847 thing I worked on a sewer plant 5135 02:43:55,847 --> 02:43:56,448 in Steamboat Springs in 1984 a 5136 02:43:56,448 --> 02:43:58,848 year and a half. 5137 02:43:59,752 --> 02:44:02,152 There are 200 systems from 5138 02:44:03,990 --> 02:44:04,757 Colorado to San Diego that 5139 02:44:04,757 --> 02:44:08,357 treat their water and put it 5140

--> 02:45:02,315 You know that I have very much 5167 02:45:02,315 --> 02:45:02,982 interested in water 5168 02:45:02,982 --> 02:45:05,382 conservation and I've really 5169 02:45:05,452 --> 02:45:06,850 looked at it in these last few 5170 02:45:06,850 --> 02:45:06,486 years so it really affects 5171 02:45:06,486 --> 02:45:08,486 water usage. 5172 02:45:10,990 --> 02:45:11,658 So I'm wondering it's been 5173 02:45:11,658 --> 02:45:12,425 years since our program was 5174 02:45:12,425 --> 02:45:15,962 started or all of you really 5175 02:45:15,962 --> 02:45:18,362 accumulate Can we accumulate 5176 02:45:20,366 --> 02:45:21,167 data on our water usage and we 5177 02:45:21,167 --> 02:45:21,935 can did we for the last five 5178 02:45:21,935 --> 02:45:24,935 years what happened with our 5179 02:45:25,705 --> 02:45:26,339 conservation Because it's a 5180 02:45:26,339 --> 02:45:27,600 lifestyle change which we 5181 02:45:27,600 --> 02:45:30,600 honored and it's a paradigm 5182 02:45:30,510 --> 02:45:31,210 shift with happen to more data 5183 02:45:31,210 --> 02:45:34,210 on water conservation I was 5184 02:45:35,381 --> 02:45:35,948 really surprised but I guess I 5185 02:45:35,948 --> 02:45:38,348 shouldn't be that you 5186 02:45:40,220 --> 02:45:40,987 overestimated the demand and 5187 02:45:40,987 --> 02:45:44,587 that you have improved that you 5188 02:45:45,425

02:45:54,264 this data to be as as 5192 02:45:54,267 --> 02:45:55,350 quantifiably excellent as we 5193 02:45:55,350 --> 02:45:58,350 can love the water shortage 5194 02:45:58,938 --> 02:45:59,306

02:46:05,111 --> 02:46:05,712 imported water with the a will 5199 02:46:05,712 --> 02:46:08,281 they inflate the cost of 5200 02:46:08,281 --> 02:46:08,915 imported water thereby 5201 02:46:08,915 --> 02:46:09,549 impacting water rates and 5202 02:46:09,549 --> 02:46:11,949 reducing our savings from 5203 02:46:13,786 --> 02:46:14,287 the pure water plan. 5204 02:46:14,287 --> 02:46:16,287 So thank

by taking 5231 02:47:02,350 --> 02:47:05,350 out the hydraulic field So 5232 02:47:05,505 --> 02:47:06,139 foundations are now in 5233 02:47:06,139 --> 02:47:06,840 subterranean land and they 5234 02:47:06,840 --> 02:47:09,840 could be founded on competent 5235 02:47:11,144 --> 02:47:11,578 soils not subject to flooding 5236 02:47:11,578 --> 02:47:11,878 or sea level. 5237 02:47:11,878 --> 02:47:13,878 Right? 5238 02:47:14,481 --> 02:47:15,247 So the pilot project for that 5239 02:47:15,247 --> 02:47:15,949 is already done which is 5240 02:47:15,949 --> 02:47:16,550 the Navy Broadway complex and 5241 02:47:16,550 --> 02:47:19,550 then also the systems at 5242 02:47:20,320 --> 02:47:21,355 the airport. 5243 02:47:21,355 --> 02:47:22,222 And so what I want you to do is 5244 02:47:22,222 --> 02:47:24,791 actually look at my a plan for 5245 02:47:24,791 --> 02:47:25,526 full type of reclamation 5246 02:47:25,526 --> 02:47:28,526 especially under the project at 5247 02:47:30,197 --> 02:47:30,897 Midway Rising because right now 5248 02:47:30,897 --> 02:47:34,497 water comes up during the king 5249 02:47:34,668 --> 02:47:35,435 tides and in that area And so 5250 02:47:35,435 --> 02:47:39,350 you you do have to futureproof 5251 02:47:39,873 --> 02:47:40,607 and your plan right now is to 5252 02:47:40,607 --> 02:47:43,143 put in five feet of additional 5253 02:47:43,143 --> 02:47:43,810 fill and then like a two foot 5254 02:47:43,810 --> 02:47:46,810 mat foundation which is not 5255 02:47:47,581 --> 02:47:48,115 proper engineering wise and 5256 02:47:48,115 --> 02:47:48,682 would be subject to 5257 02:47:48,682 --> 02:47:50,682 catastrophic failure. 5258 02:47:53,200 --> 02:47:53,687 So please look at my my and 5259 02:47:53,687 --> 02:47:54,530 apply to plan for structural 5260 02:47:54,530 --> 02:47:54,421 integrity. 5261 02:47:54,421 --> 02:47:54,788 Thank you. 5262 02:47:54,788 --> 02:47:56,788 Thank you. 5263 02:47:56,823 --> 02:47:57,257 That concludes with a comment 5264 02:47:57,257 --> 02:47:57,724 on this item. 5265 02:47:57,724 --> 02:47:58,458 >> All right. 5266 02:47:58,458 --> 02:48:01,762 Thank you, city Clerk And with 5267 02:48:01,762 --> 02:48:02,396 that we will turn it over to 5268 02:48:02,396 --> 02:48:03,130 the council for questions. 5269 02:48:03,130 --> 02:48:03,831 Comments Entertain a motion and 5270 02:48:03,831 --> 02:48:06,766 we'll start with the Chair of 5271 02:48:06,766 --> 02:48:07,401 the Environment Committee, 5272 02:48:07,401 --> 02:48:07,868 council member Eli Rivera. 5273 02:48:07,868 --> 02:48:08,535 >> All right. 5274 02:48:08,535 --> 02:48:10,935 Thank you, council PRESIDENT 5275 02:48:11,438 --> 02:48:11,738 And thanks for all the work on 5276 02:48:11,738 --> 02:48:12,639 this. 5277 02:48:12,639 --> 02:48:15,943 I know a lot of effort went 5278 02:48:15,943 --> 02:48:16,810 into it. 5279 02:48:16,810 --> 02:48:19,346 I don't want to get too far 5280 02:48:19,346 --> 02:48:24,146 into it but I do think that at 5281 02:48:24,184 --> 02:48:27,184 times the conflation of more 5282 02:48:29,390 --> 02:48:32,390 people meaning um we actually 5283 02:48:33,427 --> 02:48:34,328 hear it in a variety of forums 5284 02:48:34,328 --> 02:48:37,328 that more people means higher 5285 02:48:38,666 --> 02:48:39,433 water bills and more strain on 5286 02:48:39,433 --> 02:48:42,433 our system We've planned for 5287 02:48:43,503 --> 02:48:44,138 the population to grow correct 5288 02:48:44,138 --> 02:48:44,871 And everything that we're 5289 02:48:44,871 --> 02:48:48,471 mapping out is based on that 5290 02:48:51,177 --> 02:48:51,579 population and growth, correct? 5291 02:48:51,579 --> 02:48:52,246 >> Yes. 5292 02:48:52,246 --> 02:48:55,846 And again this isn't the you 5293 02:48:56,150 --> 02:48:56,917 all don't do rates but if there 5294 02:48:56,917 --> 02:49:00,517 are fewer people the rates are 5295 02:49:00,788 --> 02:49:01,522 higher because we have a 5296 02:49:01,522 --> 02:49:02,189 certain amount of water that we 5297 02:49:02,189 --> 02:49:02,889 are getting because we were 5298 02:49:02,889 --> 02:49:05,526 planning for a certain number 5299 02:49:05,526 --> 02:49:05,892 of people to move here to be 5300 02:49:05,892 --> 02:49:07,892 born here. 5301 02:49:10,664 --> 02:49:11,365 i just every time we get a 5302 02:49:11,365 --> 02:49:12,660 chance to repeat some of these 5303 02:49:12,660 --> 02:49:14,668 things I think it's important 5304 02:49:14,668 --> 02:49:15,635 to do so. 5305 02:49:15,635 --> 02:49:16,337 All that being said, I think I 5306 02:49:16,337 --> 02:49:17,370 appreciate all the effort and 5307 02:49:17,370 --> 02:49:19,106 planning that goes into this. 5308 02:49:19,106 --> 02:49:19,840 This is the you know, the not 5309 02:49:19,840 --> 02:49:20,573 so glamorous work that's really 5310 02:49:20,573 --> 02:49:24,173 important to make sure that San 5311 02:49:24,345 --> 02:49:25,246 Diegans do have the water that 5312 02:49:25,246 --> 02:49:28,749 we need that we do have a plan 5313 02:49:28,749 --> 02:49:29,350 in case there are there are 5314 02:49:29,350 --> 02:49:30,170 shortages in the future. 5315 02:49:30,170 --> 02:49:30,317 So thank you for doing that 5316 02:49:30,317 --> 02:49:32,317 work. 5317 02:49:33,220 --> 02:49:33,955 I very much appreciate it And I 5318 02:49:33,955 --> 02:49:34,422 will move approval of the staff 5319 02:49:34,422 --> 02:49:35,156 recommendation. 5320 02:49:35,156 --> 02:49:35,456 Thank you Council PRESIDENT All 5321 02:49:35,456 --> 02:49:35,823 right. 5322 02:49:35,823 --> 02:49:37,823 Thank you. 5323 02:49:37,958 --> 02:49:38,926 Council members. 5324 02:49:38,926 --> 02:49:39,560 So we have a motion by council 5325 02:49:39,560 --> 02:49:42,560 member Eli Rivera to move 5326 02:49:43,698 --> 02:49:44,197 the staff recommendation not 5327 02:49:44,197 --> 02:49:44,965 see anybody else. 5328 02:49:44,965 --> 02:49:45,499 I'd like to make the second as 5329 02:49:45,499 --> 02:49:46,200 the other member of 5330 02:49:46,200 --> 02:49:48,600 the Environment Committee for 5331 02:49:50,504 --> 02:49:51,205 that day And as my colleague 5332 02:49:51,205 --> 02:49:54,805 said, we did hear this in 5333 02:49:54,809 --> 02:49:55,609 the Environment Committee there 5334 02:49:55,609 --> 02:49:56,543 was a good robust conversation. 5335 02:49:56,543 --> 02:50:00,247 So again I want to thank public 5336 02:50:00,247 --> 02:50:00,948 utilities for the data driven 5337 02:50:00,948 --> 02:50:03,348 approach Update using updated 5338 02:50:04,518 --> 02:50:05,119 data from sandag and really 5339 02:50:05,119 --> 02:50:05,720 actually getting down to 5340 02:50:05,720 --> 02:50:08,720 the parcel level in this 5341 02:50:09,590 --> 02:50:10,258 conversation and as my 5342 02:50:10,258 --> 02:50:10,891 colleague referenced I want 5343 02:50:10,891 --> 02:50:13,291 acknowledge to graphs and 5344 02:50:14,729 --> 02:50:15,363 charts that you presented on 5345 02:50:15,363 --> 02:50:15,929 Slide six you highlighted 5346 02:50:15,929 --> 02:50:18,329 the historic water use 5347 02:50:19,533 --> 02:50:20,167 decreasing over the past 25 5348 02:50:20,167 --> 02:50:20,835 years And what is equally 5349 02:50:20,835 --> 02:50:23,835 significant is that we have 5350 02:50:24,505 --> 02:50:25,239 continue to do that despite 5351 02:50:25,239 --> 02:50:28,239 rising projections in the prior 5352 02:50:28,608 --> 02:50:29,509 urban water management plan. 5353 02:50:29,509 --> 02:50:30,344 So I think we're really zeroing 5354 02:50:30,344 --> 02:50:33,648 in on the appropriate level of 5355 02:50:33,648 --> 02:50:34,348 projections but a realistic one 5356 02:50:34,348 --> 02:50:34,816 that we can actually do a 5357 02:50:34,816 --> 02:50:36,816 management plan. 5358 02:50:38,319 --> 02:50:38,986 I think there was some 5359 02:50:38,986 --> 02:50:39,620 conversations about projects 5360 02:50:39,620 --> 02:50:39,921 but that's not really for 5361 02:50:39,921 --> 02:50:41,921 today. 5362 02:50:43,324 --> 02:50:44,240 Well Will be another time for 5363 02:50:44,240 --> 02:50:47,240 that and the level projections 5364 02:50:47,695 --> 02:50:48,396 in the 25 2025 plan makes 5365 02:50:48,396 --> 02:50:51,396 perfect sense and are apparent 5366 02:50:51,599 --> 02:50:52,200 in the chart You have on Slide 5367 02:50:52,200 --> 02:50:52,867 eight showing an entire 5368 02:50:52,867 --> 02:50:54,867 reversal from predominantly 5369 02:50:56,670 --> 02:50:57,138 imported water to local supply 5370 02:50:57,138 --> 02:50:57,839 via pure water. 5371 02:50:57,839 --> 02:51:00,239 That's an accomplishment that 5372 02:51:02,209 --> 02:51:02,910 we're all aware on our way to 5373 02:51:02,910 --> 02:51:03,611 achieving and I appreciate you 5374 02:51:03,611 --> 02:51:05,611 highlighting that achievement. 5375 02:51:07,480 --> 02:51:07,715 So again thank you for the very 5376 02:51:07,715 --> 02:51:08,449 good work Every five years 5377 02:51:08,449 --> 02:51:12,860 maybe isn't too bad that the is 5378 02:51:12,860 --> 02:51:12,854 playing I know it's still a lot 5379 02:51:12,854 --> 02:51:13,487 of work and that you just don't 5380 02:51:13,487 --> 02:51:15,590 roll over what you had and 5381 02:51:15,590 --> 02:51:16,424 polish it up but you actually 5382 02:51:16,424 --> 02:51:17,910 dove deep and really updated 5383 02:51:17,910 --> 02:51:17,859 the data So that's a lot of 5384 02:51:17,859 --> 02:51:20,859 extra work and we're very 5385 02:51:20,861 --> 02:51:21,629 grateful for that. 5386 02:51:21,629 --> 02:51:25,229 So with that not see anybody 5387 02:51:25,967 --> 02:51:26,634 else in the light we have a 5388

and Capital 5492 02:54:13,602 --> 02:54:14,269 Projects Department. 5493 02:54:14,269 --> 02:54:14,937 >> The overview of our 5494 02:54:14,937 --> 02:54:17,337 presentation will go through 5495 02:54:18,840 --> 02:54:19,474 some project history our 5496 02:54:19,474 --> 02:54:20,209 implementation framework, 5497 02:54:20,209 --> 02:54:22,609 the Environmental Impact report 5498 02:54:23,211 --> 02:54:23,511 and the actions before you 5499 02:54:23,511 --> 02:54:25,511 today. 5500 02:54:26,615 --> 02:54:27,316 So for some context and 5501 02:54:27,316 --> 02:54:29,716 Proposition c in 2008 and 5502 02:54:30,819 --> 02:54:31,520 Measure j in 2016 significantly 5503 02:54:31,520 --> 02:54:32,200 changed how funding works for 5504 02:54:32,200 --> 02:54:34,200 Mission Bay Park. 5505 02:54:36,240 --> 02:54:36,691 It created the Mission Bay Park 5506 02:54:36,691 --> 02:54:37,392 Improvement Zone as well as 5507 02:54:37,392 --> 02:54:40,392 the Mission Bay Park Oversight 5508 02:54:40,729 --> 02:54:41,496 Committee and Fund. 5509 02:54:41,496 --> 02:54:44,496 The fund itself dedicates lease 5510 02:54:45,933 --> 02:54:46,601 revenue and directs it towards 5511 02:54:46,601 --> 02:54:48,601 capital improvement projects 5512 02:54:50,309 --> 02:54:50,973 within those measures also 5513 02:54:50,973 --> 02:54:51,507 identified priority projects 5514 02:54:51,507 --> 02:54:53,507 within the charter. 5515 02:54:55,744 --> 02:54:56,411 So the priorities in 5516 02:54:56,411 --> 02:54:57,120 the charter include wetland 5517 02:54:57,120 --> 02:54:59,120 expansion, water quality 5518 02:55:00,249 --> 02:55:00,916 improvements and protection and 5519 02:55:00,916 --> 02:55:03,316 expansion of eelgrass beds, 5520 02:55:04,987 --> 02:55:05,688 shoreline restoration expansion 5521 02:55:05,688 --> 02:55:06,355 of endangered or threatened 5522 02:55:06,355 --> 02:55:08,755 species preserves and upland 5523 02:55:10,910 --> 02:55:10,625 habitats, deferred maintenance 5524 02:55:10,625 --> 02:55:12,625 projects addressing 5525 02:55:15,970 --> 02:55:15,797 deficiencies in the bicycle and 5526 02:55:15,797 --> 02:55:16,498 pedestrian circulation network 5527 02:55:16,498 --> 02:55:19,498 and also restoring the seawall 5528 02:55:22,705 --> 02:55:23,472 Bulkhead within Mission Beach. 5529 02:55:23,472 --> 02:55:24,239 >> So the charter laid out all 5530 02:55:24,239 --> 02:55:27,839 of these priorities but we were 5531 02:55:27,943 --> 02:55:28,677 tasked with turning this into a 5532 02:55:28,677 --> 02:55:29,780 program in order for them to be 5533 02:55:29,780 --> 02:55:31,780 implemented. 5534 02:55:32,147 --> 02:55:32,748 So to do that we did a signifi 5535 02:55:32,748 --> 02:55:33,115 can amount of community 5536 02:55:33,115 --> 02:55:33,782 outreach. 5537 02:55:33,782 --> 02:55:36,782 We did baseline studies When 5538 02:55:37,886 --> 02:55:38,587 you have the task to to improve 5539 02:55:38,587 --> 02:55:39,355 water quality but we had to 5540 02:55:39,355 --> 02:55:42,691 study both what are the water 5541 02:55:42,691 --> 02:55:43,392 quality issues as well as 5542 02:55:43,392 --> 02:55:45,792 the engineering solutions that 5543 02:55:47,463 --> 02:55:47,896 could be developed to improve 5544 02:55:47,896 --> 02:55:48,697 water quality. 5545 02:55:48,697 --> 02:55:49,331 So all of this work was done 5546 02:55:49,331 --> 02:55:51,331 collaboratively with 5547 02:55:52,901 --> 02:55:53,636 the community where we reported 5548 02:55:53,636 --> 02:55:54,300 our study results and they were 5549 02:55:54,300 --> 02:55:56,300 presented. 5550 02:55:57,506 --> 02:55:58,400 We worked with stakeholders to 5551 02:55:58,400 --> 02:55:58,607 develop and luminary 5552 02:55:58,607 --> 02:56:00,607 engineering reports or 5553 02:56:02,444 --> 02:56:03,112 the papers that were used as 5554 02:56:03,112 --> 02:56:03,846 the basis for this project. 5555 02:56:03,846 --> 02:56:07,115 We had a public scoping meeting 5556 02:56:07,115 --> 02:56:07,917 for our environmental impact 5557 02:56:07,917 --> 02:56:08,517 report and all along the way 5558 02:56:08,517 --> 02:56:09,218 we've been working with 5559 02:56:09,218 --> 02:56:12,218 the Mission Bay Park Committee 5560 02:56:12,688 --> 02:56:13,422 and we got a vote in favor of 5561 02:56:13,422 --> 02:56:14,156 program approval this month I'm 5562 02:56:14,156 --> 02:56:17,756 sorry last month and it was 5563 02:56:18,600 --> 02:56:18,894 unanimous with one abstention. 5564 02:56:18,894 --> 02:56:21,894 >> So this program began all 5565 02:56:22,598 --> 02:56:23,265 the way back in 2018 and we've 5566 02:56:23,265 --> 02:56:26,265 been working through each of 5567 02:56:27,335 --> 02:56:27,970 the steps from our scoping of 5568 02:56:27,970 --> 02:56:28,671 the projects We developed 5569 02:56:28,671 --> 02:56:30,671 the implementation framework, 5570 02:56:32,408 --> 02:56:33,109 we put the draft air out last 5571 02:56:33,109 --> 02:56:36,109 fall and then we presented 5572 02:56:37,446 --> 02:56:38,147 the final year and it's been 5573 02:56:38,147 --> 02:56:38,848 posted on our website now and 5574 02:56:38,848 --> 02:56:41,848 we're here bringing it forward 5575 02:56:42,840 --> 02:56:42,952 for you for adoption. 5576 02:56:42,952 --> 02:56:46,455 So the program itself has some 5577 02:56:46,455 --> 02:56:47,123 core elements. 5578 02:56:47,123 --> 02:56:47,790 >> Those include wetland and 5579 02:56:47,790 --> 02:56:49,790 water quality improvements, 5580 02:56:51,727 --> 02:56:52,361 shoreline restoration, upland 5581 02:56:52,361 --> 02:56:53,290 habitat expansion, seawall 5582 02:56:53,290 --> 02:56:56,290 restoration and bike and pet 5583 02:56:56,399 --> 02:56:57,660 improvements All of these 5584 02:56:57,660 --> 02:57:00,660 within the Mission Bay Park 5585 02:57:01,370 --> 02:57:01,871 improvement zone. 5586 02:57:01,871 --> 02:57:04,871 So our wetland projects those 5587 02:57:05,674 --> 02:57:06,375 include Technology Creek and 5588 02:57:06,375 --> 02:57:06,975 Fiesta Island Causeway, North 5589 02:57:06,975 --> 02:57:09,375 Vista Island creating a 5590 02:57:11,470 --> 02:57:11,814 significant new wetland piece 5591 02:57:11,814 --> 02:57:13,249 on the north side as well as 5592 02:57:13,249 --> 02:57:15,649 restoration of the Kootenay 5593 02:57:18,254 --> 02:57:18,960 Creek Wetlands. 5594 02:57:18,960 --> 02:57:19,655 Shoreline restoration happens 5595 02:57:19,655 --> 02:57:22,655 primarily in the western side 5596 02:57:23,292 --> 02:57:23,960 of Mission Bay and it includes 5597 02:57:23,960 --> 02:57:24,594 both structured solutions as 5598 02:57:24,594 --> 02:57:27,594 well as more nature based 5599 02:57:28,664 --> 02:57:29,365 solutions like oyster reef in 5600 02:57:29,365 --> 02:57:32,365 order to protect the different 5601 02:57:35,438 --> 02:57:36,205 beach areas. 5602 02:57:36,205 --> 02:57:36,972 >> Our upland habitat expansion 5603 02:57:36,972 --> 02:57:40,572 occurs in North and South Vista 5604 02:57:40,576 --> 02:57:41,310 Island and that includes 5605 02:57:41,310 --> 02:57:43,646 the dedicated least turned site 5606 02:57:43,646 --> 02:57:44,447 South Shores The Triangle 5607 02:57:44,447 --> 02:57:46,847 Parcel as well as 5608 02:57:49,510 --> 02:57:49,752 the Cloverleaf Parcel Bicycle 5609 02:57:49,752 --> 02:57:52,152 improvements include the Ocean 5610 02:57:54,890 --> 02:57:54,958 beach bike path, the Rose Creek 5611 02:57:54,958 --> 02:57:58,558 bike path and the Fiesta Island 5612 02:57:58,561 --> 02:57:59,228 Causeway and seawall 5613 02:57:59,228 --> 02:58:01,628 restoration and would happen 5614 02:58:03,600 --> 02:58:04,300 between Grand Avenue to Ventura 5615 02:58:04,300 --> 02:58:04,867 Place as well as San Fernando 5616 02:58:04,867 --> 02:58:07,267 Place to Balboa Court. 5617 02:58:08,471 --> 02:58:09,205 And that includes a new segment 5618 02:58:09,205 --> 02:58:12,205 between Grand Avenue and Thomas 5619 02:58:13,309 --> 02:58:13,943 Avenue upgraded beach access 5620 02:58:13,943 --> 02:58:16,343 points and also replacing 5621 02:58:19,140 --> 02:58:21,140 the deteriorated parapet. 5622 02:58:22,585 --> 02:58:23,186 To be clear, Danza Cove is not 5623 02:58:23,186 --> 02:58:23,953 part of this program. 5624 02:58:23,953 --> 02:58:24,654 It was originally part of this 5625 02:58:24,654 --> 02:58:27,654 project but it was identified 5626 02:58:27,957 --> 02:58:28,625 that we had a land use plan 5627 02:58:28,625 --> 02:58:31,625 amendment to the mission Bay 5628 02:58:32,595 --> 02:58:33,229 Park plan needed to be 5629 02:58:33,229 --> 02:58:33,830 completed and so that was 5630 02:58:33,830 --> 02:58:36,230 transferred to the City 5631 02:58:37,566 --> 02:58:38,100 planning Department and became 5632 02:58:38,100 --> 02:58:38,835 Diane's and Natural. 5633 02:58:38,835 --> 02:58:41,835 That project is currently under 5634 02:58:41,971 --> 02:58:42,372 review by the Coastal 5635 02:58:42,372 --> 02:58:43,720 Commission. 5636 02:58:43,720 --> 02:58:43,406 Our project does not require a 5637 02:58:43,406 --> 02:58:45,406 mission. 5638 02:58:46,843 --> 02:58:47,477 Bay Park master Plan amendment 5639 02:58:47,477 --> 02:58:48,111 so therefore that will not 5640 02:58:48,111 --> 02:58:48,478 require Coastal Commission 5641 02:58:48,478 --> 02:58:50,478 approval. 5642 02:58:52,150 --> 02:58:52,716 What you are seeing today 5643 02:58:52,716 --> 02:58:55,116 though individual permits will 5644 02:58:56,190 --> 02:58:56,786 go to them in the future. 5645 02:58:56,786 --> 02:58:59,786 Diaz itself is working towards 5646 02:59:01,124 --> 02:59:01,891 a general development plan. 5647 02:59:01,891 --> 02:59:02,625 Yeah our program focus on that 5648 02:59:02,625 --> 02:59:02,992 on the implementation framework 5649 02:59:02,992 --> 02:59:04,992 document. 5650 02:59:06,463 --> 02:59:07,163 This document establishes how 5651 02:59:07,163 --> 02:59:07,831 to implement the charter as an 5652 02:59:07,831 --> 02:59:08,298 interim step to funding and 5653 02:59:08,298 --> 02:59:10,298 prioritization. 5654 02:59:11,501 --> 02:59:12,135 It identifies the approach for 5655 02:59:12,135 --> 02:59:14,135 implementing the project's 5656 02:59:15,538 --> 02:59:16,239 maintenance needs as well as 5657 02:59:16,239 --> 02:59:16,906 resilience to sea level rise. 5658 02:59:16,906 --> 02:59:17,540 It lays out the applicable 5659 02:59:17,540 --> 02:59:19,540 engineering and permitting 5660 02:59:20,976 --> 02:59:21,311 procedures to realize each 5661 02:59:21,311 --> 02:59:21,878 project. 5662 02:59:21,878 --> 02:59:23,878 >> The document itself 5663 02:59:25,381 --> 02:59:26,820 consolidates the various 5664 02:59:26,820 --> 02:59:26,550 elements and components into a 5665 02:59:26,550 --> 02:59:28,550 single document. 5666 02:59:30,252 --> 02:59:30,887 It's a tool for city engineers 5667 02:59:30,887 --> 02:59:31,287 and planners to implement 5668 02:59:31,287 --> 02:59:32,210 the program. 5669 02:59:32,210 --> 02:59:35,210 It's intended to be transparent 5670 02:59:35,158 --> 02:59:35,758 and digestible to the public 5671 02:59:35,758 --> 02:59:36,459 and it supports funding 5672 02:59:36,459 --> 02:59:38,859 decisions for prioritizing and 5673 02:59:39,462 --> 02:59:40,230 implementing the charter. 5674 02:59:40,230 --> 02:59:40,897 And it's the basis of our 5675 02:59:40,897 --> 02:59:42,897 environmental impact report. 5676 02:59:44,534 --> 02:59:45,235 The environmental impact report 5677 02:59:45,235 --> 02:59:48,235 is required per the California 5678 02:59:49,206 --> 02:59:49,940 Environmental Quality Act and 5679 02:59:49,940 --> 02:59:50,607 informs the public and decision 5680 02:59:50,607 --> 02:59:53,700 makers of potential adverse 5681 02:59:53,810 --> 02:59:54,210 effects of implementation of 5682 02:59:54,210 --> 02:59:54,744 our program. 5683 02:59:54,744 --> 02:59:56,744 It affords mandated 5684 02:59:58,581 --> 02:59:59,249 opportunities for public input 5685 02:59:59,249 --> 02:59:59,983 and it identifies required 5686 02:59:59,983 --> 03:00:02,383 feasible mitigation measures to 5687 03:00:03,820 --> 03:00:04,221 reduce the effects as well as 5688 03:00:04,221 --> 03:00:04,854 alternative. 5689 03:00:04,854 --> 03:00:07,254 But particularly a program 5690 03:00:08,458 --> 03:00:09,159 document allows the engineering 5691 03:00:09,159 --> 03:00:09,860 Capital Projects Department to 5692 03:00:09,860 --> 03:00:13,460 be able to fulfill the desire 5693 03:00:13,496 --> 03:00:14,198 to streamline capital 5694 03:00:14,198 --> 03:00:14,731 improvement projects and bring 5695 03:00:14,731 --> 03:00:16,731 them online faster. 5696 03:00:18,680 --> 03:00:18,769 Because this document will 5697 03:00:18,769 --> 03:00:19,535 establish a basis for tearing. 5698 03:00:19,535 --> 03:00:22,673 So when each of these projects 5699 03:00:22,673 --> 03:00:23,440 moves forward in the future 5700 03:00:23,440 --> 03:00:23,974 will be able to adopt them more 5701 03:00:23,974 --> 03:00:25,974 quickly and easily. 5702 03:00:27,844 --> 03:00:28,478 >> The program Air identifies 5703 03:00:28,478 --> 03:00:30,478 any potential significant 5704 03:00:32,782 --> 03:00:33,316 impacts and required mitigation 5705 03:00:33,316 --> 03:00:33,750 as well as feasible 5706 03:00:33,750 --> 03:00:34,384 alternatives. 5707 03:00:34,384 --> 03:00:36,784 In addition, we developed 5708 03:00:37,754 --> 03:00:38,421 conceptual habitat restoration 5709 03:00:38,421 --> 03:00:41,421 and monitoring plans for all 5710 03:00:42,590 --> 03:00:42,592 the restoration projects and 5711 03:00:42,592 --> 03:00:44,592 the document itself. 5712 03:00:47,164 --> 03:00:47,931 In most resource areas actually 5713 03:00:47,931 --> 03:00:51,434 has no impacts or less than 5714 03:00:51,434 --> 03:00:52,302 significant impacts. 5715 03:00:52,302 --> 03:00:52,870 >> The few areas that we do 5716 03:00:52,870 --> 03:00:55,270 have the potential for 5717 03:00:56,607 --> 03:00:57,307 significant impacts are air 5718 03:00:57,307 --> 03:00:57,975 quality, biological resources, 5719 03:00:57,975 --> 03:00:59,975 cultural resources, historic 5720 03:01:01,945 --> 03:01:02,346 resources, noise and 5721 03:01:02,346 --> 03:01:02,913 recreation. 5722 03:01:02,913 --> 03:01:04,913 Our mitigation reduces 5723 03:01:06,416 --> 03:01:07,151 the effects to less than 5724 03:01:07,151 --> 03:01:07,718 significant for air quality and 5725 03:01:07,718 --> 03:01:09,718 cultural resources for 5726 03:01:11,955 --> 03:01:12,623 biological resources because 5727 03:01:12,623 --> 03:01:15,230 these are complex projects. 5728 03:01:16,693 --> 03:01:17,394 And Sequa says that any impact 5729 03:01:17,394 --> 03:01:18,610 to biological resources if you 5730 03:01:18,610 --> 03:01:21,610 take something off line in 5731 03:01:22,132 --> 03:01:22,733 there potentially as part of 5732 03:01:22,733 --> 03:01:23,467 construction bringing it 5733 03:01:23,467 --> 03:01:24,101 forward there could be a delay. 5734 03:01:24,101 --> 03:01:26,603 So there is potential for 5735 03:01:26,603 --> 03:01:27,337 biological impacts. 5736 03:01:27,337 --> 03:01:27,971 Historic resources is because 5737 03:01:27,971 --> 03:01:30,971 the seawall itself is a 5738 03:01:32,209 --> 03:01:32,843 historic resource so you have 5739 03:01:32,843 --> 03:01:33,410 the potential for impacts. 5740 03:01:33,410 --> 03:01:34,111 So we're following all 5741 03:01:34,111 --> 03:01:36,380 the secretary of the interior 5742 03:01:36,380 --> 03:01:36,981 standards. 5743 03:01:36,981 --> 03:01:37,648 Noise and noise impacts. 5744 03:01:37,648 --> 03:01:38,349 These are large construction 5745 03:01:38,349 --> 03:01:41,349 projects so there is potential 5746 03:01:41,451 --> 03:01:42,319 for noise. 5747 03:01:42,319 --> 03:01:43,200 And because it's a park, any 5748 03:01:43,200 --> 03:01:45,856 impacts within the park would 5749 03:01:45,856 --> 03:01:46,190 be considered a restoration 5750 03:01:46,190 --> 03:01:46,856 impact. 5751 03:01:46,856 --> 03:01:47,591 Oh sorry recreation impact. 5752 03:01:47,591 --> 03:01:50,361 We also looked at project 5753 03:01:50,361 --> 03:01:50,961 alternatives including the No 5754 03:01:50,961 --> 03:01:51,562 project alternative and 5755 03:01:51,562 --> 03:01:53,562 increased public access 5756 03:01:54,932 --> 03:01:55,499 alternative and a reduced 5757 03:01:55,499 --> 03:01:56,320 hardscape alternative. 5758 03:01:56,320 --> 03:01:56,638 The square required 5759 03:01:56,638 --> 03:01:58,638 environmentally superior 5760 03:02:00,437 --> 03:02:01,138 alternative is the reduced 5761 03:02:01,138 --> 03:02:01,839 hardscape alternative because 5762 03:02:01,839 --> 03:02:04,839 it reduces impacts to cultural 5763 03:02:05,276 --> 03:02:05,943 resources near the seawall. 5764 03:02:05,943 --> 03:02:08,943 The actions before you today 5765 03:02:09,680 --> 03:02:10,347 and staff's recommendation is 5766 03:02:10,347 --> 03:02:11,810 to certify the final program 5767 03:02:11,810 --> 03:02:13,481 Environmental Impact report and 5768 03:02:14,852 --> 03:02:15,219 adopt the implementation 5769 03:02:15,219 --> 03:02:15,886 framework. 5770 03:02:15,886 --> 03:02:16,253 And we're available for any 5771 03:02:16,253 --> 03:02:16,620 questions. 5772

Well, I guess first to start is 5836 03:04:08,232 --> 03:04:10,632 I talk here often. 5837 03:04:12,604 --> 03:04:12,904 You know the importance of that 5838 03:04:12,904 --> 03:04:13,838 . 5839 03:04:13,838 --> 03:04:14,538 There is a lot of surveillance 5840 03:04:14,538 --> 03:04:16,938 technology in wildlife trails 5841 03:04:18,509 --> 03:04:19,410 and and how I'm sure you will 5842 03:04:19,410 --> 03:04:22,947 be planting this item in some 5843 03:04:22,947 --> 03:04:23,681 form since data collection. 5844 03:04:23,681 --> 03:04:26,681 You know what the endangered 5845 03:04:27,185 --> 03:04:27,952 species species count. 5846 03:04:27,952 --> 03:04:28,418 You know technology is used for 5847 03:04:28,418 --> 03:04:30,418 that these days. 5848 03:04:32,230 --> 03:04:32,357 You know the air quality 5849 03:04:32,357 --> 03:04:33,191 samples. 5850 03:04:33,191 --> 03:04:36,494 And the city of Davis as I've 5851 03:04:36,494 --> 03:04:37,395 described before,

for 6066 03:10:39,459 --> 03:10:42,763 today And when I look at 6067 03:10:42,763 --> 03:10:43,463 the bottom I saw that she had 6068 03:10:43,463 --> 03:10:44,163 actually been responsible for 6069 03:10:44,163 --> 03:10:47,163 implementing one of the ballot 6070 03:10:47,267 --> 03:10:47,967 proposals, the one for amending 6071 03:10:47,967 --> 03:10:50,967 the municipal code related to 6072

same spot where 6296 03:18:17,586 --> 03:18:18,353 you should have widened it like 6297 03:18:18,353 --> 03:18:18,954 ten feet and you built it brand 6298 03:18:18,954 --> 03:18:21,954 new like ten

looks like 6313 03:18:36,771 --> 03:18:39,574 you're going to do a new 6314 03:18:39,574 --> 03:18:40,275 southern wall down there on 6315 03:18:40,275 --> 03:18:43,378 the southern part by the jetty

their land 6326 03:19:02,300 --> 03:19:02,731 And the very front was about 6327 03:19:02,731 --> 03:19:03,598 15ft that belongs to the city 6328 03:19:03,598 --> 03:19:07,198 So maybe charge those

03:19:12,140 --> 03:19:12,841 at South Mission it's really 6333 03:19:12,841 --> 03:19:16,441 restricted too and it needs to 6334 03:19:16,711 --> 03:19:17,412 be built up But it's do a good 6335 03:19:17,412 --> 03:19:17,978 job, build the wall first and 6336 03:19:17,978 --> 03:19:20,378 then do the sidewalk. 6337 03:19:21,783 --> 03:19:22,451 You know you got to do it So it 6338 03:19:22,451 --> 03:19:23,510 works for everybody But that 6339 03:19:23,510 --> 03:19:25,451 sounds really cool man. 6340 03:19:26,540 --> 03:19:26,754 And then but either charge 6341 03:19:26,754 --> 03:19:30,354 the guys they're not going to 6342 03:19:30,525 --> 03:19:31,193 tell you that I hope you guys 6343 03:19:31,193 --> 03:19:34,193 know that that it's actually 6344 03:19:34,997 -->

03:23:23,493 --> 03:23:26,950 all the major cities that 6480 03:23:26,950 --> 03:23:26,763 council personnel overall 6481 03:23:26,763 --> 03:23:27,497 operate last week they have 6482 03:23:27,497 --> 03:23:30,497 these revenue sources that they 6483 03:23:31,968 --> 03:23:32,235 can rely on but San Diego does 6484 03:23:32,235 --> 03:23:33,690 not. 6485 03:23:33,690 --> 03:23:36,172 Um really good luck what we can 6486 03:23:36,172 --> 03:23:36,872 be doing I still think we can 6487 03:23:36,872 --> 03:23:40,472 take a more broader view to 6488 03:23:40,742 --> 03:23:41,444 give some sort of picture of 6489 03:23:41,444 --> 03:23:44,948 what we can be working towards 6490 03:23:44,948 --> 03:23:45,781 and and make things into a 8 to 6491 03:23:45,781 --> 03:23:46,749 10 year plan instead of a 3 to 6492 03:23:46,749 --> 03:23:49,353 5 year plan And that way we can 6493 03:23:49,353 --> 03:23:49,886 be working on social services 6494 03:23:49,886 --> 03:23:52,286 Still it was really 6495 03:23:53,490 --> 03:23:54,223 disheartening to hear 6496 03:23:54,223 --> 03:23:54,791 the retaliation things that are 6497 03:23:54,791 --> 03:23:57,791 going on in the police 6498 03:23:58,962 --> 03:23:59,662 department and I think it's 6499 03:23:59,662 --> 03:24:00,396 indicative of what's also been 6500 03:24:00,396 --> 03:24:03,396 happening in the mayor's office 6501 03:24:03,833 --> 03:24:04,534 and I think it's an issue that 6502 03:24:04,534 --> 03:24:08,134 we really want to address here 6503 03:24:08,404 --> 03:24:09,105 in the city If we do, I think 6504 03:24:09,105 --> 03:24:09,672 we'd be doing something really 6505 03:24:09,672 --> 03:24:12,720 positive and we'd have 6506 03:24:12,608 --> 03:24:13,310 something to really be working 6507 03:24:13,310 --> 03:24:14,277 on together and wanting to do 6508 03:24:14,277 --> 03:24:18,247 better And I think it'd be help 6509 03:24:18,247 --> 03:24:18,981 helpful for ourselves to find 6510 03:24:18,981 --> 03:24:21,981 ways to address the retaliatory 6511 03:24:23,186 --> 03:24:23,853 things on a number of items and 6512 03:24:23,853 --> 03:24:26,853 including of course Andrea I 6513 03:24:27,457 --> 03:24:28,158 mean we've been talking about 6514 03:24:28,158 --> 03:24:28,925 recently I hope her situation 6515 03:24:28,925 --> 03:24:31,661 can be much more clearly 6516 03:24:31,661 --> 03:24:33,661 understood. 6517 03:24:36,832 --> 03:24:37,534 Um and with that um there's 6518 03:24:37,534 --> 03:24:38,501 other stuff there's a lot of 6519 03:24:38,501 --> 03:24:41,738 other stuff I hope we can be 6520 03:24:41,738 --> 03:24:42,405 working on making the words 6521 03:24:42,405 --> 03:24:44,805 biometric technology okay to 6522 03:24:46,275 -->
