that I caught you not having

169
00:15:20,668 --> 00:15:21,402

was being disruptive.

172
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:29,673
I have since caught you four

173
00:15:30,511 --> 00:15:31,112
other times with no quorum and

174
00:15:31,112 --> 00:15:31,512
you said I was being

175
00:15:31,512 --> 00:15:32,146
disruptive.

176
00:15:32,146 --> 00:15:32,780
You had me escorted out by

177
00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:35,780
the police with threats of

178
00:15:37,510 --> 00:15:37,719
arrest and you cannot continue

179
00:15:37,719 --> 00:15:38,586
a meeting like that and you

180
00:15:38,586 --> 00:15:42,757
know it as you are now of

181
00:15:42,757 --> 00:15:43,525
course correcting and saying

182
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:47,725
that you have to have a quorum.

183
00:15:49,264 --> 00:15:49,931
But the city attorney sat there

184
00:15:49,931 --> 00:15:53,531
or whoever is in that seat

185
00:15:54,569 --> 00:15:55,270
whether it's Heather or not

186
00:15:55,270 --> 00:15:55,904
watched this happen And you

187
00:15:55,904 --> 00:15:56,571
guys know that you cannot

188
00:15:56,571 --> 00:15:58,971
illegally conduct a meeting

189
00:16:00,508 --> 00:16:01,175
whether it's through the Brown

190
00:16:01,175 --> 00:16:01,876
Act, Robert's Rules of order

191
00:16:01,876 --> 00:16:05,476
your own board policy You have

192
00:16:05,947 --> 00:16:06,748
to have a quorum and you know

193
00:16:06,748 --> 00:16:07,616
it And you treated me like a

194
00:16:07,616 --> 00:16:11,216
criminal for calling it out and

195
00:16:12,530 --> 00:16:12,753
calling out your misconduct And

196
00:16:12,753 --> 00:16:16,353
you guys all blatantly look me

197
00:16:17,359 --> 00:16:18,126
in the face as though you were

198
00:16:18,126 --> 00:16:18,627
saying you when you know again

199
00:16:18,627 --> 00:16:20,627
that it's illegal.

200
00:16:24,199 --> 00:16:24,866
That's why you have since said

201
00:16:24,866 --> 00:16:25,467
we have to have a quorum.

202
00:16:25,467 --> 00:16:26,134
You stopped the meeting

203
00:16:26,134 --> 00:16:29,134
yesterday because of it and

204
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:30,105
it's like I mean I feel like

205
00:16:30,105 --> 00:16:30,705
I'm owed an apology because you

206
00:16:30,705 --> 00:16:33,705
deprive me of my rights.

207
00:16:34,476 --> 00:16:35,277
You had me escorted out

208
00:16:35,277 --> 00:16:38,277
blatantly knowing what you were

209
00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:42,350
doing time and again You did it

210
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:43,850
repeatedly.

211
00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:46,685
I mean, Sean, you're like we're

212
00:16:47,289 --> 00:16:47,789
just behind the wall.

213
00:16:47,789 --> 00:16:48,356
It doesn't matter.

214
00:16:48,356 --> 00:16:49,190
You guys know that.

215
00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:53,361
And it's like how can you guys

216
00:16:53,361 --> 00:16:54,195
sit there and do that?

217
00:16:54,195 --> 00:16:54,930
I mean I get it because you

218
00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:58,667
guys don't like me but you were

219
00:16:58,667 --> 00:16:59,367
acting and conducting business

220
00:16:59,367 --> 00:17:00,134
illegally and you treated me

221
00:17:00,134 --> 00:17:04,306
like a criminal for it And so

222
00:17:04,306 --> 00:17:05,700
it's like how can you guys be

223
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:05,340
trusted when you're willing to

224
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:06,730
do that?

225
00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:08,473
>> That's what's so horrible

226
00:17:11,346 --> 00:17:12,130
about it is that you of course

227
00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:12,714
corrected but you stuck your

228
00:17:12,714 --> 00:17:13,248
feet in the ground and treated

229
00:17:13,248 --> 00:17:15,648
me like a criminal.

230
00:17:17,185 --> 00:17:18,520
>> You put your mark next as

231
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,852
Tony I did not see him on line

232
00:17:23,825 --> 00:17:24,593
Next is Ernie kept I do not see

233
00:17:24,593 --> 00:17:28,960
him on line next is Becky Rapp

234
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:28,964
If you can please unmute.

235
00:17:28,964 --> 00:17:31,964
>> Thank you and good morning.

236
00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:35,738
My name is Becky and I'm here

237
00:17:35,738 --> 00:17:39,338
today to ask the city to

238
00:17:40,576 --> 00:17:41,243
prioritize enforcement against

239
00:17:41,243 --> 00:17:41,810
illegal kratom and flavored

240
00:17:41,810 --> 00:17:44,210
tobacco sales that are

241
00:17:45,981 --> 00:17:46,415
happening openly across our

242
00:17:46,415 --> 00:17:47,490
neighborhoods.

243
00:17:47,490 --> 00:17:47,716
Our one of our neighboring

244
00:17:47,716 --> 00:17:50,116
cities Oceanside is actively

245
00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:53,655
enforcing the lot and according

246
00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:56,550
to recent reports Oceanside

247
00:17:56,992 --> 00:17:57,559
police and code enforcement

248
00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:58,293
seized more than 6300

249
00:17:58,293 --> 00:18:00,693
prohibited flavored tobacco and

250
00:18:02,797 --> 00:18:03,465
nicotine products during one

251
00:18:03,465 --> 00:18:05,865
operation alone under their

252
00:18:09,138 --> 00:18:09,905
municipal code Every violation

253
00:18:09,905 --> 00:18:10,439
can be treated as a separate

254
00:18:10,439 --> 00:18:11,106
offense and each day

255
00:18:11,106 --> 00:18:13,506
the violation continues can

256
00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:15,544
create additional penalties.

257
00:18:15,544 --> 00:18:16,278
Businesses are reportedly

258
00:18:16,278 --> 00:18:16,879
facing hundreds of thousands of

259
00:18:16,879 --> 00:18:19,279
dollars in fines because

260
00:18:21,483 --> 00:18:22,170
Oceanside understands that

261
00:18:22,170 --> 00:18:22,718
enforcement matters.

262
00:18:22,718 --> 00:18:26,318
Meanwhile in San Diego we have

263
00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:27,556
smoke shops selling flavored

264
00:18:27,556 --> 00:18:28,290
vapes illegal nicotine

265
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:28,957
products, creative extracts and

266
00:18:28,957 --> 00:18:31,357
high potency substances with

267
00:18:33,963 --> 00:18:34,363
little to no visible

268
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:35,640
enforcement.

269
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,640
Our penalties are minimal and

270
00:18:39,134 --> 00:18:39,802
many businesses simply treat

271
00:18:39,802 --> 00:18:40,169
them as a cost of doing

272
00:18:40,169 --> 00:18:40,903
business.

273
00:18:40,903 --> 00:18:43,903
Kratom is not harmless highly

274
00:18:45,975 --> 00:18:46,675
concentrated creative products

275
00:18:46,675 --> 00:18:47,409
are being described by the dea

276
00:18:47,409 --> 00:18:50,409
as being stronger than morphine

277
00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:51,647
and are now being called

278
00:18:51,647 --> 00:18:52,314
the smoke shops heroin.

279
00:18:52,314 --> 00:18:52,948
The California Department of

280
00:18:52,948 --> 00:18:55,348
Public Health has already

281
00:18:57,860 --> 00:18:57,787
warned against these products

282
00:18:57,787 --> 00:18:58,287
and prohibited their sale for

283
00:18:58,287 --> 00:18:59,210
human consumption.

284
00:18:59,210 --> 00:19:02,621
Yet cities still lack the local

285
00:19:03,859 --> 00:19:04,493
enforcement structure needed to

286
00:19:04,493 --> 00:19:05,950
truly address the problem.

287
00:19:05,950 --> 00:19:07,950
If enforcement requires

288
00:19:10,132 --> 00:19:10,700
stronger policies then this

289
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:11,434
council needs to act.

290
00:19:11,434 --> 00:19:11,967
When businesses violate the law

291
00:19:11,967 --> 00:19:12,368
they should be held

292
00:19:12,368 --> 00:19:14,368
accountable.

293
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:16,772
Please strengthen San Diego's

294
00:19:16,772 --> 00:19:17,406
enforcement policies, increase

295
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:19,806
penalties and direct code

296
00:19:22,278 --> 00:19:22,878
enforcement and sd pd to make

297
00:19:22,878 --> 00:19:23,245
this an urgent priority.

298
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:25,245
Thank you.

299
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:30,349
Thank you Madison If you can

300
00:19:32,121 --> 00:19:32,588
please unmute.

301
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:32,988
>> Yeah.

302
00:19:32,988 --> 00:19:33,422
Thank you.

303
00:19:33,422 --> 00:19:33,890
Good morning.

304
00:19:33,890 --> 00:19:35,890
Council members.

305
00:19:38,828 --> 00:19:39,529
For teenagers even low level

306
00:19:39,529 --> 00:19:40,196
use of marijuana is linked to

307
00:19:40,196 --> 00:19:40,763
higher risks of psychiatric

308
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:43,163
issues and poor school

309
00:19:44,233 --> 00:19:45,167
performance

310
00:19:45,167 --> 00:19:45,834
There are also a lot of growing

311
00:19:45,834 --> 00:19:46,268
concerns about addiction and

312
00:19:46,268 --> 00:19:48,268
mental health.

313
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,707
Today more people report using

314
00:19:51,707 --> 00:19:52,800
marijuana daily than alcohol

315
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:52,642
daily.

316
00:19:52,642 --> 00:19:55,642
That sounds like a pretty

317
00:19:56,679 --> 00:19:57,513
addicting substance.

318
00:19:57,513 --> 00:19:58,214
Among daily users about 1 in 4

319
00:19:58,214 --> 00:20:00,614
will develop cannabis use

320
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:03,753
disorder meaning they struggle

321
00:20:03,753 --> 00:20:04,486
to stop.

322
00:20:04,486 --> 00:20:08,860
They build a tolerance and they

323
00:20:08,358 --> 00:20:08,657
feel off if they don't have it

324
00:20:08,657 --> 00:20:09,258
.

325
00:20:09,258 --> 00:20:09,859
While marijuana is often

326
00:20:09,859 --> 00:20:12,259
marketed for anxiety and

327
00:20:14,931 --> 00:20:15,598
wellness research shows it can

328
00:20:15,598 --> 00:20:16,299
actually worsen anxiety and

329
00:20:16,299 --> 00:20:19,299
mood disorders for some users.

330
00:20:20,903 --> 00:20:21,704
And now 6% of young people ages

331
00:20:21,704 --> 00:20:24,104
18 to 24 choose to use

332
00:20:26,242 --> 00:20:26,542
marijuana as a sleep aid as

333
00:20:26,542 --> 00:20:27,243
well.

334
00:20:27,243 --> 00:20:27,944
The same way people might use

335
00:20:27,944 --> 00:20:30,944
melatonin or magnesium to help

336
00:20:31,948 --> 00:20:32,715
them fall asleep.

337
00:20:32,715 --> 00:20:33,449
The concern we have is for

338
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:36,449
the young people the developing

339
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:38,288
brain is especially vulnerable.

340
00:20:38,288 --> 00:20:40,688
Adolescent marijuana use is

341
00:20:43,726 --> 00:20:44,426
linked to a risk of depression

342
00:20:44,426 --> 00:20:45,127
,anxiety, psychosis and even

343
00:20:45,127 --> 00:20:47,527
measurable declines in memory

344
00:20:49,532 --> 00:20:50,233
learning and iq over time.

345
00:20:50,233 --> 00:20:50,966
Instead of expanding access to

346
00:20:50,966 --> 00:20:53,966
this harmful substance, we need

347
00:20:55,905 --> 00:20:56,606
to make sure that prevention,

348
00:20:56,606 --> 00:20:56,973
education and public awareness

349
00:20:56,973 --> 00:20:58,973
keep pace.

350
00:21:00,776 --> 00:21:01,760
Let's do this for young people

351
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:01,477
.

352
00:21:01,477 --> 00:21:01,878
Thank you.

353
00:21:01,878 --> 00:21:03,878
Thank you.

354
00:21:13,789 --> 00:21:14,491

Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

All right.

383

Thank you city Clerk for

attempting to navigate again.

385
00:22:33,636 --> 00:22:34,371
We will continue to have

386
00:22:34,371 --> 00:22:35,500

387
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:35,738

00:22:35,738 --> 00:22:38,738
sessions as we traditionally do

389
00:22:39,375 --> 00:22:40,143
on our Tuesdays.

390

Council PRESIDENT, council

00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:35,630
members and fellow

00:23:39,102 --> 00:23:39,536
commissioners and members of

426
00:23:39,536 --> 00:23:40,170
our community.

427
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:40,904
My name is William Peter.

428
00:23:40,904 --> 00:23:43,106
I serve as vice chair of San

429
00:23:43,106 --> 00:23:43,406
Diego Senior Affairs Advisory

430
00:23:43,406 --> 00:23:44,208
Board.

431
00:23:44,208 --> 00:23:44,908
It is an honor to stand before

432
00:23:44,908 --> 00:23:47,908
you during the Older Americans

433
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:50,380
Month to recognize the wisdom,

434
00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:51,810
resilience and lifelong

435
00:23:51,810 --> 00:23:51,648
contributions of older adults

436
00:23:51,648 --> 00:23:53,648
throughout San Diego.

437
00:23:55,185 --> 00:23:55,919
As a proud San Diego born and

438
00:23:55,919 --> 00:23:56,520
raised in the city, this moment

439
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520
is deeply personal to me

440
00:24:01,191 --> 00:24:01,892
because when I look at San

441
00:24:01,892 --> 00:24:02,660
Diego I do not see progress.

442
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:06,260
I see the generations of older

443
00:24:07,197 --> 00:24:07,898
adults who sacrificed hard work

444
00:24:07,898 --> 00:24:08,599
and perseverance helped build

445
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:09,990
the foundation of the city we

446
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:11,990
proudly call home.

447
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:14,204
Today many seniors continue

448
00:24:14,204 --> 00:24:14,905
facing challenges including

449
00:24:14,905 --> 00:24:15,539
housing affordability, social

450
00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:17,539
isolation, transportation

451
00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:19,977
access and increasing pressure

452
00:24:19,977 --> 00:24:20,510
of caregiver caregivers and

453
00:24:20,510 --> 00:24:22,510
health care systems.

454
00:24:25,215 --> 00:24:25,983
As our population continues to

455
00:24:25,983 --> 00:24:29,583
age, we have an opportunity and

456
00:24:32,423 --> 00:24:32,790
a responsibility to all older

457
00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:33,225
Americans.

458
00:24:33,225 --> 00:24:33,957

460
00:24:34,625 --> 00:24:35,326

with the first Japanese

589
00:27:59,464 --> 00:28:00,198

596
00:28:18,883 --> 00:28:20,883
Hi.

597
00:28:25,623 --> 00:28:27,623
Thank you Beekman.

598
00:28:29,294 --> 00:28:32,894
Thank you for first of allowing

599
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,301
public comment from yesterday

600
00:28:36,301 --> 00:28:37,200
bringing it back here today a

601
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,200
really really nice gesture of

602
00:28:40,939 --> 00:28:41,740
you guys and I hope it can set

603
00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:42,274
a good precedence we can do in

604
00:28:42,274 --> 00:28:44,674
the future as well.

605
00:28:47,312 --> 00:28:48,180
Good luck will continue.

606
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:48,880
I send you guys a letter on

607
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,548
protocol ideas on how to work

608
00:28:49,548 --> 00:28:52,548
on quorum, different ways to

609
00:28:53,218 --> 00:28:54,151
coordinate.

610
00:28:54,151 --> 00:28:54,753
I hope you can read it and I

611
00:28:54,753 --> 00:28:57,753
think it can be helpful.

612
00:29:03,495 --> 00:29:04,229
And for item 33 is

613
00:29:04,229 --> 00:29:04,930
Asian-American, Native Hawaiian

614
00:29:04,930 --> 00:29:05,230
and Pacific Islander Heritage

615
00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:07,230
Month.

616
00:29:10,736 --> 00:29:11,436
And you know, I've been

617
00:29:11,436 --> 00:29:12,136
visiting Hawai'I almost every

618
00:29:12,136 --> 00:29:12,837
year now in the winter time to

619
00:29:12,837 --> 00:29:16,308
listen to the whales just swim

620
00:29:16,308 --> 00:29:16,975
under water and just hear them

621
00:29:16,975 --> 00:29:20,575
talk and sing to each other.

622
00:29:21,647 --> 00:29:22,447
And for quite a few years now

623
00:29:22,447 --> 00:29:23,215
and they have real problems in

624
00:29:23,215 --> 00:29:26,815
Hawai'I and I think there can

625
00:29:27,752 --> 00:29:28,453
be some good back and forth

626
00:29:28,453 --> 00:29:29,120
between San Diego and Hawai'I

627
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,120
on our ocean issues erosion

628
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:34,326
issues.

629
00:29:34,326 --> 00:29:39,126
There's a lot of a lot of ideas

630
00:29:39,231 --> 00:29:39,597
that I think can be really

631
00:29:39,597 --> 00:29:40,299
worked on.

632
00:29:40,299 --> 00:29:43,899
So this is an important item

633
00:29:45,170 --> 00:29:45,871
and how we consider the future

634
00:29:45,871 --> 00:29:46,538
of Hawai'I and the Hawaiian

635
00:29:46,538 --> 00:29:47,105
people and what we're doing

636
00:29:47,105 --> 00:29:49,505
with our future lives.

637
00:29:50,776 --> 00:29:51,576
So thank you for this island

638
00:29:51,576 --> 00:29:53,576
for its 500 professional

639
00:29:57,683 --> 00:29:58,450
municipal clerks Week.

640
00:29:58,450 --> 00:30:02,500
Some nice words were said about

641
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:03,956
our council our city clerk

642
00:30:03,956 --> 00:30:04,723
Fuentes a few weeks ago And

643
00:30:04,723 --> 00:30:08,923
yeah, I wish I could say more

644
00:30:10,495 --> 00:30:11,263
about how important the work of

645
00:30:11,263 --> 00:30:11,830
a city clerk does as a go

646
00:30:11,830 --> 00:30:12,234
between between public

647
00:30:12,234 --> 00:30:14,234
government.

648
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:15,968
The work that you can be really

649
00:30:15,968 --> 00:30:16,669
incredible and good luck and

650
00:30:16,669 --> 00:30:19,669
continued good efforts and and

651
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:21,606
creating public accessibility

652
00:30:21,606 --> 00:30:22,274
and accountability and and a

653
00:30:22,274 --> 00:30:24,274
public participatory process

654
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:28,747
which I think City Clerk

655
00:30:28,747 --> 00:30:29,448
Fuentes can be really good at

656
00:30:29,448 --> 00:30:32,584
And I hope she continues those

657
00:30:32,584 --> 00:30:33,185
sort of good efforts.

658
00:30:33,185 --> 00:30:33,919
It's always just really

659
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:34,552
heartening when she does And so

660
00:30:34,552 --> 00:30:38,152
thank you and good luck to

661
00:30:40,492 --> 00:30:41,260
those Continue Good efforts and

662
00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:44,260
Building Safety Month five for

663
00:30:45,164 --> 00:30:45,864
Spirit Airlines just ended and

664
00:30:45,864 --> 00:30:46,598
they were like this really low

665
00:30:46,598 --> 00:30:49,598
cost awesome airlines for for

666
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,904
low income people.

667
00:30:51,904 --> 00:30:56,104
I mean you can get to San

668
00:30:56,542 --> 00:30:57,275
Francisco Airport for 25, 30

669
00:30:57,275 --> 00:30:58,760
bucks where the bus is now like

670
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,760
80 or 90 or you know, around

671
00:31:02,181 --> 00:31:02,681
that And Spirit Airlines always

672
00:31:02,681 --> 00:31:03,516
worked on safety.

673
00:31:03,516 --> 00:31:07,116
They always had a really good

674
00:31:08,987 --> 00:31:09,388
safety record and it reminded

675
00:31:09,388 --> 00:31:10,560
me of that.

676
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:10,756
And with this item, good

677
00:31:10,756 --> 00:31:13,156
building safety is important.

678
00:31:14,392 --> 00:31:15,610
Good luck.

679
00:31:15,610 --> 00:31:15,393
What we're doing is Midway

680
00:31:15,393 --> 00:31:15,727
Rising.

681
00:31:15,727 --> 00:31:16,429
Thanks.

682
00:31:16,429 --> 00:31:16,863
I think you're really going to

683
00:31:16,863 --> 00:31:17,563
have to review

684
00:31:17,563 --> 00:31:19,963
the environmental reporting on

685
00:31:20,766 --> 00:31:21,366
that and we build safely and we

686
00:31:21,366 --> 00:31:23,766
always talk about that.

687
00:31:27,106 --> 00:31:27,506
>> Thank you.

688
00:31:27,506 --> 00:31:28,206
Thank you.

689
00:31:28,206 --> 00:31:28,841
Allegedly order items 3132 an

690
00:31:28,841 --> 00:31:29,175
s504 and you'll have three

691
00:31:29,175 --> 00:31:31,175
minutes.

692
00:31:34,914 --> 00:31:35,281
Please proceed.

693
00:31:35,281 --> 00:31:35,982
>> Yes.

694
00:31:35,982 --> 00:31:38,382
With this genocide Remembrance

695
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,210
Day I just find it interesting

696
00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:42,722
the things that people do when

697
00:31:42,722 --> 00:31:45,722
our nation is actively engaged

698
00:31:47,493 --> 00:31:48,194
in genocide and other countries

699
00:31:48,194 --> 00:31:48,895
and we bomb like schools of

700
00:31:48,895 --> 00:31:51,895
children and stuff like that.

701
00:31:53,199 --> 00:31:53,799
I don't feel like people

702
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:54,366
necessarily are kind of

703
00:31:54,366 --> 00:31:55,670
standing against that.

704
00:31:55,670 --> 00:31:58,667
It's like let's wait to bring

705
00:32:00,106 --> 00:32:00,806
forward a proclamation in one

706
00:32:00,806 --> 00:32:01,507
day for these children and you

707
00:32:01,507 --> 00:32:05,107
know all these people that are

708
00:32:05,678 --> 00:32:06,412
being killed in the Holy Land

709
00:32:06,412 --> 00:32:07,790
and our you know, occupation of

710
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:10,790
Israel that is, you know,

711
00:32:11,884 --> 00:32:12,385
leading us to do some really

712
00:32:12,385 --> 00:32:13,119
nefarious things.

713
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:16,923
So you know, at one point maybe

714
00:32:16,923 --> 00:32:17,523
we could like stand against

715
00:32:17,523 --> 00:32:18,391
that kind of stuff.

716
00:32:18,391 --> 00:32:19,580
But I guess if it's you know,

717
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:22,658
not going to, you know, fit

718
00:32:22,929 --> 00:32:23,696
into what you guys are doing,

719
00:32:23,696 --> 00:32:24,363
you're not going to do it.

720
00:32:24,363 --> 00:32:25,640
But it just makes us look

721
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,664
really bad when we're going to

722
00:32:28,701 --> 00:32:29,502
be like we're going to stand up

723
00:32:29,502 --> 00:32:33,702
for this but also be engaged in

724
00:32:34,974 --> 00:32:35,675
genocide ourselves And then

725
00:32:35,675 --> 00:32:36,409
older Americans Month This is

726
00:32:36,409 --> 00:32:40,609
nice but the way we treat older

727
00:32:41,246 --> 00:32:42,150
people is pretty.

728
00:32:42,150 --> 00:32:42,514
You know they get their homes

729
00:32:42,514 --> 00:32:43,315
taken in probate.

730
00:32:43,315 --> 00:32:47,515
I mean we throw them into these

731
00:32:47,820 --> 00:32:48,521
really horrible, you know,

732
00:32:48,521 --> 00:32:49,255
nursing homes instead of being

733
00:32:49,255 --> 00:32:52,855
like let's keep them active and

734
00:32:54,494 --> 00:32:55,194
keep their brains like going

735
00:32:55,194 --> 00:32:55,861
you know what I mean?

736
00:32:55,861 --> 00:32:56,529
Instead let's fill them with

737
00:32:56,529 --> 00:32:57,196
pharmaceuticals so they have

738
00:32:57,196 --> 00:32:59,596
dementia and basically, you

739
00:32:59,999 --> 00:33:00,600
know, spend the rest of their

740
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,334
golden years locked away

741
00:33:01,334 --> 00:33:04,334
somewhere where nobody wants to

742
00:33:05,538 --> 00:33:06,172
see them sitting in a

743
00:33:06,172 --> 00:33:06,872
wheelchair in one of those

744
00:33:06,872 --> 00:33:07,540
homes Prime is in their teeth

745
00:33:07,540 --> 00:33:07,874
or their eye because someone

746
00:33:07,874 --> 00:33:09,874
took it.

747
00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:11,377
You know, it's just really sad

748
00:33:11,377 --> 00:33:12,111
to see those things happen.

749
00:33:12,111 --> 00:33:16,311
And then we also just have a

750
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:17,716
proclamation to kind of wash it

751
00:33:17,716 --> 00:33:18,385
away Like that's what we do.

752
00:33:18,385 --> 00:33:19,118
We just wash things away by,

753
00:33:19,118 --> 00:33:22,118
you know, pretending like we're

754
00:33:22,889 --> 00:33:23,490
really supportive of that when

755
00:33:23,490 --> 00:33:24,190
what they go through is

756
00:33:24,190 --> 00:33:27,190
horrible and then the building

757
00:33:29,729 --> 00:33:30,396
safe building safety It's

758
00:33:30,396 --> 00:33:31,130
interesting because you guys

759
00:33:31,130 --> 00:33:34,730
put people in fire dangers with

760
00:33:35,634 --> 00:33:36,335
your buildings or what your

761
00:33:36,335 --> 00:33:37,300
projects you bring through and

762
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,603
all of the density that you

763
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:42,709
guys want to bring forward And

764
00:33:42,709 --> 00:33:43,209
then like no evacuation routes

765
00:33:43,209 --> 00:33:43,876
it's cool, right?

766
00:33:43,876 --> 00:33:47,614
So it's like how when are we

767
00:33:47,614 --> 00:33:48,314
going to actually do stuff that

768
00:33:48,314 --> 00:33:49,820
would like fall in line with

769
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:52,820
that is what I'm wondering

770
00:33:54,286 --> 00:33:54,955
because it seems like again you

771
00:33:54,955 --> 00:33:55,622
guys try and wash the things

772
00:33:55,622 --> 00:33:58,622
away by putting this forward

773
00:33:59,725 --> 00:34:00,126
and then your actions kind of

774
00:34:00,126 --> 00:34:00,826
prove that.

775
00:34:00,826 --> 00:34:04,426
Do you really care about that?

776
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:06,733
I mean are we just like

777
00:34:06,733 --> 00:34:07,466
following what the state wants

778
00:34:07,466 --> 00:34:11,571
And so we're just going to have

779
00:34:11,571 --> 00:34:12,339
everything in San Diego be a

780
00:34:12,339 --> 00:34:15,939
very high fire zone and densely

781
00:34:18,645 --> 00:34:19,613
populated up smart.

782
00:34:19,613 --> 00:34:20,380
I mean you I'm a criminal for

783
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:23,380
calling out your guys is

784
00:34:23,984 --> 00:34:24,684
misconduct and your inability

785
00:34:24,684 --> 00:34:28,284
to do a meeting without a

786
00:34:29,489 --> 00:34:29,990
quorum But I was wrong.

787
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:30,724
>> Right?

788
00:34:30,724 --> 00:34:31,240
Good thing I was treated like

789
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:33,240
that.

790
00:34:35,195 --> 00:34:37,960
So nice.

791
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,496
>> Kelly Charles speaking on

792
00:34:49,476 --> 00:34:50,750
item as five of four.

793
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:50,777
>> Hello Good morning.

794
00:34:50,777 --> 00:34:51,244
Council PRESIDENT And members

795
00:34:51,244 --> 00:34:53,244
of city council.

796
00:34:55,549 --> 00:34:56,283
My name is Kelly Charles and

797
00:34:56,283 --> 00:34:57,170
the chief building official and

798
00:34:57,170 --> 00:34:57,684
deputy director of our building

Department.

802
00:35:02,656 --> 00:35:03,323
I want to sincerely thank you

803
00:35:03,323 --> 00:35:03,925
for proclaiming MAY 2026 as

804
00:35:03,925 --> 00:35:06,325
Building Safety Month in

805
00:35:07,294 --> 00:35:07,960
the city of San Diego.

806
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,661
This proclamation highlights

807
00:35:08,661 --> 00:35:09,362
something that goes unseen but

808
00:35:09,362 --> 00:35:12,962
touches nearly every one of us

809
00:35:13,766 --> 00:35:14,501
The safety resilience,

810
00:35:14,501 --> 00:35:15,202
sustainability of buildings and

811
00:35:15,202 --> 00:35:15,635
infrastructure that we depend

812
00:35:15,635 --> 00:35:17,635
on every day.

813
00:35:19,706 --> 00:35:20,406
Your recognition affirms that a

814
00:35:20,406 --> 00:35:21,750
strong and thriving San Diego

815
00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:21,708
was built on a foundation of

816
00:35:21,708 --> 00:35:24,108
safe homes, workplaces and

817
00:35:25,979 --> 00:35:26,713
public spaces.

818
00:35:26,713 --> 00:35:27,380
We are especially grateful for

819
00:35:27,380 --> 00:35:28,470
your continued leadership in

820
00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:28,748
advancing building codes and

821
00:35:28,748 --> 00:35:31,148
policies that address critical

822
00:35:31,818 --> 00:35:32,386
issues such as energy

823
00:35:32,386 --> 00:35:33,190
efficiency while water

824
00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:35,190
conservation and disaster

825
00:35:37,424 --> 00:35:37,991
resilience in a region we face

826
00:35:37,991 --> 00:35:38,592
risks from wildfires,

827
00:35:38,592 --> 00:35:40,592
earthquakes and floods.

828
00:35:43,230 --> 00:35:43,864
Your commitment gives our

829
00:35:43,864 --> 00:35:44,531
community confidence that

830
00:35:44,531 --> 00:35:45,232
the places we live, work and

831
00:35:45,232 --> 00:35:45,499
gather are designed to protect

832
00:35:45,499 --> 00:35:47,499
us.

833
00:35:49,102 --> 00:35:49,603
The 2026 theme Built to Last.

834
00:35:49,603 --> 00:35:51,603
>> Thank you.

835
00:35:55,408 --> 00:35:56,110
That does conclude public

836
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:56,776
comment on proclamations here

837
00:35:56,776 --> 00:35:57,511
in council chambers going to

838
00:35:57,511 --> 00:35:59,911
those participating remotely as

839
00:35:59,980 --> 00:36:00,681
are the five minute timer We

840
00:36:00,681 --> 00:36:01,480
currently have four people in

841
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:01,682
the queue.

842
00:36:01,682 --> 00:36:02,383
Laurie Saldana If you can

843
00:36:02,383 --> 00:36:05,983
please let me know which item

844
00:36:06,220 --> 00:36:06,820
or items you wish to speak to.

845
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:07,254
>> Yes, thank you.

846
00:36:07,254 --> 00:36:08,550
Good morning.

847
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:11,655
I'd like to speak to item 30

848
00:36:11,725 --> 00:36:12,426
Symphony Day Item 32 Older

849
00:36:12,426 --> 00:36:15,426
Americans Month and item five

850
00:36:18,165 --> 00:36:18,565
before Building Safety month.

851
00:36:18,565 --> 00:36:19,330
Thank you.

852
00:36:19,330 --> 00:36:19,700
Please proceed.

853
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:22,100
Regarding the Symphony Youth

854
00:36:23,537 --> 00:36:24,238
Symphony Day I appreciate very

855
00:36:24,238 --> 00:36:24,838
much this being recognized as

856
00:36:24,838 --> 00:36:27,838
an essential part of any

857
00:36:30,744 --> 00:36:31,477
community that the music and

858
00:36:31,477 --> 00:36:32,112
the arts are essential ways for

859
00:36:32,112 --> 00:36:34,512
young people especially to

860
00:36:35,516 --> 00:36:36,183
suddenly learn the basics of

861
00:36:36,183 --> 00:36:36,784
reading music and performing

862
00:36:36,784 --> 00:36:37,450
with others but also of

863
00:36:37,450 --> 00:36:39,850
self-expression which is in

864
00:36:42,422 --> 00:36:43,123
classical education is

865
00:36:43,123 --> 00:36:43,829
the highest form of education

866
00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:44,191
that we can offer to people at

867
00:36:44,191 --> 00:36:46,191
all ages.

868
00:36:48,662 --> 00:36:52,262
I also study music is something

869
00:36:54,602 --> 00:36:55,336
that help for stem activities

870
00:36:55,336 --> 00:36:55,936
where I taught information

871
00:36:55,936 --> 00:36:56,603
technology and coding I

872
00:36:56,603 --> 00:36:59,300
realized that those students

873
00:37:01,208 --> 00:37:01,876
who had studied music did much

874
00:37:01,876 --> 00:37:02,343
better at learning computer

875
00:37:02,343 --> 00:37:02,943
skills as well.

876
00:37:02,943 --> 00:37:04,943
There's something about

877
00:37:07,147 --> 00:37:07,882
the keyboarding and the coding

878
00:37:07,882 --> 00:37:08,482
that translates whether it's on

879
00:37:08,482 --> 00:37:08,849
an instrument or into a

880
00:37:08,849 --> 00:37:10,849
computer.

881
00:37:13,186 --> 00:37:13,887
So by supporting your symphony

882
00:37:13,887 --> 00:37:14,488
we're really supporting future

883
00:37:14,488 --> 00:37:17,488
tech leaders as well as

884
00:37:19,726 --> 00:37:20,193
talented musicians And I'm 32

885
00:37:20,193 --> 00:37:20,995
older Americans.

886
00:37:20,995 --> 00:37:24,595
You as I mentioned in my

887
00:37:24,765 --> 00:37:25,433
comments yesterday need to do

888
00:37:25,433 --> 00:37:28,433
more to protect older adults

889
00:37:30,938 --> 00:37:31,706
including myself from hazards

890
00:37:31,706 --> 00:37:32,506
as we go about our daily lives

891
00:37:32,506 --> 00:37:35,506
Sidewalks at a broken and

892
00:37:37,411 --> 00:37:38,145
uneven other things that get in

893
00:37:38,145 --> 00:37:38,813
the way of our independence and

894
00:37:38,813 --> 00:37:41,813
mobility and end up causing

895
00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:43,784
injuries.

896
00:37:43,784 --> 00:37:44,652
It not only puts a personal

897
00:37:44,652 --> 00:37:48,252
cost to trying to be active

898
00:37:48,823 --> 00:37:49,524
throughout our lives but a

899
00:37:49,524 --> 00:37:50,291
broader cost to our community

900
00:37:50,291 --> 00:37:53,891
If we are disabled and unable

901
00:37:54,862 --> 00:37:55,563
to participate in activities

902
00:37:55,563 --> 00:37:56,297
without assistance it does put

903
00:37:56,297 --> 00:37:59,897
a cost in especially when it

904
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:02,703
comes to caregiving the cost on

905
00:38:02,703 --> 00:38:06,303
women in particular who go by

906
00:38:06,774 --> 00:38:07,575
to caring for older adults who

907
00:38:07,575 --> 00:38:07,842
are disabled and not able to do

908
00:38:07,842 --> 00:38:09,842
so.

909
00:38:13,347 --> 00:38:14,150
I appreciate the recognition of

910
00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:14,715
the importance of this and I

911
00:38:14,715 --> 00:38:18,315
encourage San Diego to do more

912
00:38:18,552 --> 00:38:19,220
to have safe mobility corridors

913
00:38:19,220 --> 00:38:19,754
for everyone but especially

914
00:38:19,754 --> 00:38:20,488
those later in life.

915
00:38:20,488 --> 00:38:23,488
And finally our Building Safety

916
00:38:25,293 --> 00:38:26,260
month The safest building you

917
00:38:26,260 --> 00:38:31,600
can put up in San Diego is in

918
00:38:31,265 --> 00:38:32,100
the safest possible location.

919
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:32,799
And as we see with the changing

920
00:38:32,799 --> 00:38:33,534
climate, what happened in one

921
00:38:33,534 --> 00:38:36,534
Choice Creek, what is happening

922
00:38:37,871 --> 00:38:38,606
in our coastline there are some

923
00:38:38,606 --> 00:38:42,206
areas that are simply no longer

924
00:38:42,976 --> 00:38:43,778
safe to place a building on top

925
00:38:43,778 --> 00:38:44,478
of that list is the midway area

926
00:38:44,478 --> 00:38:48,780
and I realize Midway rising or

927
00:38:49,350 --> 00:38:50,170
as I refer to it midway Sinking

928
00:38:50,170 --> 00:38:50,718
is a premier project for

929
00:38:50,718 --> 00:38:54,318
the city council and the mayor

930
00:38:55,156 --> 00:38:56,240
in particular but the reality

931
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:00,224
is that is a coastal zone and

932
00:39:01,429 --> 00:39:02,960
it is having subsidence all of

933
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:02,796
us who live in the area who

934
00:39:02,796 --> 00:39:06,834
drive in the area can see it

935
00:39:06,834 --> 00:39:07,535
and feel it that the water

936
00:39:07,535 --> 00:39:08,169
tables are changing in our

937
00:39:08,169 --> 00:39:11,169
coastal areas and to build

938
00:39:12,574 --> 00:39:13,441
safely means to choose wisely

939
00:39:13,441 --> 00:39:14,141
And that location is not a wise

940
00:39:14,141 --> 00:39:17,141
choice to put more people

941
00:39:19,681 --> 00:39:20,448
larger buildings.

942
00:39:20,448 --> 00:39:20,849
Ultimately they will be in

943
00:39:20,849 --> 00:39:21,549
harm's way.

944
00:39:21,549 --> 00:39:22,160
Thank you for that concluding

945
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,160
comment Hector.

946
00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:26,855
Please let me know which item

947
00:39:26,855 --> 00:39:31,550
or items you wish to speak to.

948
00:39:32,794 --> 00:39:33,561
>> All right, Peter, a lot of

949
00:39:33,561 --> 00:39:36,561
people said the old guys

950
00:39:37,532 --> 00:39:38,166
the genocide 31 and

951
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:38,866
the building safety thing

952
00:39:38,866 --> 00:39:41,866
they'll have to be protesting

953
00:39:42,604 --> 00:39:42,904
in San Diego.

954
00:39:42,904 --> 00:39:43,605
Okay.

955
00:39:43,605 --> 00:39:44,380
I'm sorry I didn't hear

956
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,380
the first one.

957
00:39:47,375 --> 00:39:50,975
It's the three minutes The old

958
00:39:52,847 --> 00:39:53,214
guys the genocide and the old

959
00:39:53,214 --> 00:39:53,547
building.

960
00:39:53,547 --> 00:39:53,948
>> Okay.

961
00:39:53,948 --> 00:39:54,249
I could go.

962
00:39:54,249 --> 00:39:56,249
Okay.

963
00:39:58,653 --> 00:39:59,387
So the building safety

964
00:39:59,387 --> 00:40:00,210
proclamation the city is really

965
00:40:00,210 --> 00:40:02,210
lacking integrity because

966
00:40:05,226 --> 00:40:05,894
the building you're sitting in

967
00:40:05,894 --> 00:40:06,228
right now is a total fire

968
00:40:06,228 --> 00:40:06,761
hazard.

969
00:40:06,761 --> 00:40:08,761
It's on sprinklers.

970
00:40:11,633 --> 00:40:11,999
There's no sprinklers in that

971
00:40:11,999 --> 00:40:12,700
building.

972
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:13,434
And if a fire broke out on

973
00:40:13,434 --> 00:40:17,340
the third floor, who's going to

974
00:40:17,538 --> 00:40:18,239
be able to get down the stairs

975
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:18,974
12 story 12 stories of stairs,

976
00:40:18,974 --> 00:40:21,974
see if they're charged with

977
00:40:23,445 --> 00:40:23,912
the embattled batteries on

978
00:40:23,912 --> 00:40:24,513
the third floor.

979
00:40:24,513 --> 00:40:25,146
It smolders and then it

980
00:40:25,146 --> 00:40:27,546
explodes, creates a fire,

981
00:40:29,917 --> 00:40:30,619
creates smoke.

982
00:40:30,619 --> 00:40:31,119
The elevators stop working.

983
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:33,119
They're not work.

984
00:40:35,230 --> 00:40:35,323
How are the people in your room

985
00:40:35,323 --> 00:40:36,910
?

986
00:40:36,910 --> 00:40:36,792
They're going to get down on

987
00:40:36,792 --> 00:40:37,225
the floor with firemen Coming

988
00:40:37,225 --> 00:40:39,225
up, confusion.

989
00:40:41,663 --> 00:40:42,297
A lot of smoke.

990
00:40:42,297 --> 00:40:42,964
The very building you're

991
00:40:42,964 --> 00:40:43,531
sitting in you should remove

992
00:40:43,531 --> 00:40:45,531
that proclamation from

993
00:40:49,204 --> 00:40:49,837
the building safe because where

994
00:40:49,837 --> 00:40:50,672
it's coming from is unsafe

995
00:40:50,672 --> 00:40:54,272
building Now it's crazy Then at

996
00:40:54,543 --> 00:40:55,210
the genocide Armenian genocide

997
00:40:55,210 --> 00:40:55,910
the real thing that was not

998
00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:58,910
even slavery in our country

999
00:41:00,449 --> 00:41:00,749
There's a real genocide to

1000
00:41:00,749 --> 00:41:01,449
that.

1001
00:41:01,449 --> 00:41:05,490
And then one thing the Chinese

1002
00:41:06,687 --> 00:41:07,122
or the Japanese the Asians are

1003
00:41:07,122 --> 00:41:07,822
great people.

1004
00:41:07,822 --> 00:41:08,556
They're great in San Diego and

1005
00:41:08,556 --> 00:41:11,392
throughout San Diego the Asians

1006
00:41:11,392 --> 00:41:11,894
and they're beautiful people

1007
00:41:11,894 --> 00:41:13,894
are great people.

1008
00:41:17,533 --> 00:41:21,133
But one thing about Japan they

1009
00:41:24,406 --> 00:41:24,839
had some technical

1010
00:41:24,839 --> 00:41:25,541
difficulties.

1011
00:41:25,541 --> 00:41:25,941
We're going to the next caller

1012
00:41:25,941 --> 00:41:27,941
on Stanford.

1013
00:41:28,143 --> 00:41:28,844
Please unmute Please let me

1014
00:41:28,844 --> 00:41:32,444
know which item or items you

1015
00:41:35,817 --> 00:41:36,752
wish to speak to.

1016
00:41:36,752 --> 00:41:38,752
>> 3230 3s5 hundred and 504

1017
00:41:40,455 --> 00:41:41,123
please proceed.

1018
00:41:41,123 --> 00:41:41,456
>> You don't have three

1019
00:41:41,456 --> 00:41:41,756
minutes.

1020
00:41:41,756 --> 00:41:43,756
Okay.

1021
00:41:45,661 --> 00:41:46,428
Thank you very much.

1022
00:41:46,428 --> 00:41:48,828
Thank you for recognizing

1023
00:41:52,367 --> 00:41:53,100
seniors.

1024
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:55,100
I particularly appreciate

1025
00:41:58,140 --> 00:41:58,907
the senior members of Council

1026
00:41:58,907 --> 00:41:59,708
those old guys and women in

1027
00:41:59,708 --> 00:42:02,708
council recognizing a day for

1028
00:42:04,313 --> 00:42:06,313
us.

1029
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,252
You know as a senior citizen I

1030
00:42:15,991 --> 00:42:20,191
try to keep my mind alert on

1031
00:42:22,231 --> 00:42:22,565
excuse me on the 500 municipal

1032
00:42:22,565 --> 00:42:24,565
clerks.

1033
00:42:27,970 --> 00:42:28,670
I really appreciate the clerk's

1034
00:42:28,670 --> 00:42:31,670
office and its work Clerk's

1035
00:42:34,243 --> 00:42:34,976
office makes things run.

1036
00:42:34,976 --> 00:42:37,376
It's essentially the secretary

1037
00:42:39,448 --> 00:42:40,315
for the municipal corporation

1038
00:42:40,315 --> 00:42:43,915
and I have had the great

1039
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:45,787
experience with the previous

1040
00:42:45,787 --> 00:42:46,122
four city clerks building

1041
00:42:46,122 --> 00:42:48,122
safety.

1042
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,760
Most of you aren't aware that

1043
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:00,100
the original functioning of

1044
00:43:03,272 --> 00:43:04,390
the council the city Hall was

1045
00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:07,639
not the way it functions today

1046
00:43:09,912 --> 00:43:10,679
The committee rooms and meeting

1047
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:14,279
rooms were all on the plaza

1048
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:16,618
level above the convert

1049
00:43:16,618 --> 00:43:17,318
the convention rooms.

1050
00:43:17,318 --> 00:43:20,918
That way people didn't have to

1051
00:43:22,324 --> 00:43:23,250
enter the building, go up

1052
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:26,250
the elevator and be in

1053
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:28,331
committee rooms.

1054
00:43:28,331 --> 00:43:32,531
It was done on the plaza level

1055
00:43:34,236 --> 00:43:34,770
and that was much safer and

1056
00:43:34,770 --> 00:43:35,604
much more efficient.

1057
00:43:35,604 --> 00:43:39,204
>> It was a retrofit to put

1058
00:43:39,842 --> 00:43:40,543
the council chamber on the 12th

1059
00:43:40,543 --> 00:43:44,143
floor because that was kind of

1060
00:43:45,715 --> 00:43:46,416
a hierarchical thing.

1061
00:43:46,416 --> 00:43:47,183
The other thing about building

1062
00:43:47,183 --> 00:43:51,253
safety is that we have added to

1063
00:43:51,253 --> 00:43:52,210
the council chambers hazards.

1064
00:43:52,210 --> 00:43:55,210
You know originally there were

1065
00:43:57,326 --> 00:43:57,994
no chairs behind the council

1066
00:43:57,994 --> 00:44:00,994
members because they had no

1067
00:44:03,633 --> 00:44:04,500
staff and you know there wasn't

1068
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:08,100
a trip and fall hazard with

1069
00:44:09,705 --> 00:44:12,705
the White plastic chain and

1070
00:44:15,177 --> 00:44:15,878
there wasn't reserving all

1071
00:44:15,878 --> 00:44:16,445
those seats for staff members.

1072
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:18,845
None of that occurred

1073
00:44:20,883 --> 00:44:21,516
originally under the city

1074
00:44:21,516 --> 00:44:22,185
manager form of government

1075
00:44:22,185 --> 00:44:25,185
The council chamber was much

1076
00:44:27,724 --> 00:44:28,491
safer And then there was one

1077
00:44:28,491 --> 00:44:31,491
final item I just really

1078
00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:33,796
appreciated I hope council

1079
00:44:33,796 --> 00:44:36,796
starts to recognize service to

1080
00:44:40,136 --> 00:44:40,508
senior citizens by keeping fees

1081
00:44:40,508 --> 00:44:40,903
low.

1082
00:44:40,903 --> 00:44:41,404
>> Thank you much.

1083
00:44:41,404 --> 00:44:43,404
Thank you.

1084
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:47,176
The five minute timer has

1085
00:44:47,176 --> 00:44:47,843
included There's two speakers

1086
00:44:47,843 --> 00:44:48,444
in the queue and additional

1087
00:44:48,444 --> 00:44:50,460
speakers will be taken.

1088
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:50,846
Judy Strang If you complete

1089
00:44:50,846 --> 00:44:51,580
unmute and let me know which

1090
00:44:51,580 --> 00:44:51,847
item or items you wish to speak

1091
00:44:51,847 --> 00:44:52,181
to.

1092
00:44:52,181 --> 00:44:52,615
>> Yes.

1093
00:44:52,615 --> 00:44:54,615
Good morning.

1094
00:44:56,953 --> 00:44:57,720
I called in to speak to item 32

1095
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:58,388
I felt as an older San Diego

1096
00:44:58,388 --> 00:45:01,388
and it was probably my

1097
00:45:02,926 --> 00:45:03,626
responsibility and as a retired

1098
00:45:03,626 --> 00:45:04,294
social worker and now one who

1099
00:45:04,294 --> 00:45:06,694
advocates for public health

1100
00:45:08,564 --> 00:45:09,165
policy, I would remind us that

1101
00:45:09,165 --> 00:45:11,565
that older Americans and

1102
00:45:12,936 --> 00:45:13,636
the definition that I'm using

1103
00:45:13,636 --> 00:45:14,270
here is over 65 are

1104
00:45:14,270 --> 00:45:14,870
particularly vulnerable to

1105
00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:17,870
marijuana use due to age

1106
00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:19,742
related physiologic

1107
00:45:19,742 --> 00:45:20,410
physiological changes which

1108
00:45:20,410 --> 00:45:23,410
include higher body fat and

1109
00:45:24,714 --> 00:45:25,381
slower metabolism.

1110
00:45:25,381 --> 00:45:26,150
Having trouble reading these

1111
00:45:26,150 --> 00:45:26,683
things about older people?

1112
00:45:26,683 --> 00:45:30,283
Well for us and for example

1113
00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:31,788
what this looks like is a

1114
00:45:31,788 --> 00:45:32,421
cardiovascular strain.

1115
00:45:32,421 --> 00:45:34,821
Marijuana can cause rapid

1116
00:45:37,494 --> 00:45:38,127
heartbeat and elevated blood

1117
00:45:38,127 --> 00:45:38,828
pressure which can provoke

1118
00:45:38,828 --> 00:45:41,828
heart attacks and strokes and

1119
00:45:43,398 --> 00:45:43,999
its contribution to falls and

1120
00:45:43,999 --> 00:45:44,634
injuries strikes fear in

1121
00:45:44,634 --> 00:45:45,301
the heart of older people.

1122
00:45:45,301 --> 00:45:48,301
Marijuana is known to cause

1123
00:45:49,339 --> 00:45:49,873
dizziness, lightheadedness,

1124
00:45:49,873 --> 00:45:50,573
impaired balance and

1125
00:45:50,573 --> 00:45:50,940
significantly raising the risk

1126
00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:52,940
of falls.

1127
00:45:55,345 --> 00:45:55,978
And what comes with them

1128
00:45:55,978 --> 00:45:56,713
fractures and injuries and

1129
00:45:56,713 --> 00:45:57,414
respiratory problems I'll close

1130
00:45:57,414 --> 00:46:01,140
with because we all know that

1131
00:46:01,851 --> 00:46:02,518
smoking and baby marijuana like

1132
00:46:02,518 --> 00:46:02,886
tobacco and firearms don't.

1133
00:46:02,886 --> 00:46:04,886
Thank you.

1134
00:46:06,790 --> 00:46:07,757
Sorry.

1135
00:46:07,757 --> 00:46:10,757
>> And our last Speaker 7499 if

1136
00:46:13,964 --> 00:46:14,664
you can please unmute but

1137
00:46:14,664 --> 00:46:18,264
because this year I'd like to

1138
00:46:18,534 --> 00:46:19,236
speak on all the proclamation

1139
00:46:19,236 --> 00:46:19,569
items 3335 you'll have three

1140
00:46:19,569 --> 00:46:20,690
minutes.

1141
00:46:20,690 --> 00:46:22,690
>> Please proceed.

1142
00:46:24,374 --> 00:46:25,750
I just like to remind this

1143
00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:25,842
Council that the rights of all

1144
00:46:25,842 --> 00:46:29,442
of these people to speak on

1145
00:46:29,512 --> 00:46:30,213
these proclamations was one

1146
00:46:30,213 --> 00:46:30,914
through a lawsuit initiated by

1147
00:46:30,914 --> 00:46:33,914
attorney Craig Sherman and his

1148
00:46:35,285 --> 00:46:35,752
Center for Local Government

1149
00:46:35,752 --> 00:46:36,453
Accountability.

1150
00:46:36,453 --> 00:46:37,186
Prior to that the city council

1151
00:46:37,186 --> 00:46:40,186
would give out the proclamation

1152
00:46:41,191 --> 00:46:41,725
to take the photos and watch

1153
00:46:41,725 --> 00:46:42,458
the recipients leave

1154
00:46:42,458 --> 00:46:45,458
the council chambers with their

1155
00:46:47,196 --> 00:46:47,864
awards before allowing

1156
00:46:47,864 --> 00:46:48,165
the public to speak on these

1157
00:46:48,165 --> 00:46:48,865
items.

1158
00:46:48,865 --> 00:46:49,599
I spoke several times to this

1159
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:52,599
Council requesting the right to

1160
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:54,671
speak before proclamation were

1161
00:46:54,671 --> 00:46:55,372
voted on but this council

1162
00:46:55,372 --> 00:46:56,720
refused to follow the law so I

1163
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:58,472
eventually brought the matter

1164
00:47:00,109 --> 00:47:00,843
to MR. Sherman and he had to

1165
00:47:00,843 --> 00:47:01,577
take the city to court to force

1166
00:47:01,577 --> 00:47:02,245
the city to allow the public to

1167
00:47:02,245 --> 00:47:04,645
speak on these proclamation

1168
00:47:06,250 --> 00:47:07,116
before they were voted on.

1169
00:47:07,116 --> 00:47:07,884
As we do now, there's a lesson

1170
00:47:07,884 --> 00:47:11,484
to be learned here Rather than

1171
00:47:11,955 --> 00:47:12,623
treating public comment as a

1172
00:47:12,623 --> 00:47:13,323
mere annoyance, this council

1173
00:47:13,323 --> 00:47:16,323
should see all public speakers

1174
00:47:17,961 --> 00:47:18,561
as an important resource to

1175
00:47:18,561 --> 00:47:19,295
help guide this Council

1176
00:47:19,295 --> 00:47:19,696
decisions and keep the city out

1177
00:47:19,696 --> 00:47:21,696
of trouble.

1178
00:47:24,167 --> 00:47:24,800
This Council needs an attitude

1179
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:25,435
adjustment to give proper

1180
00:47:25,435 --> 00:47:26,136
respect to the people that

1181
00:47:26,136 --> 00:47:26,469
include sometimes taking that

1182
00:47:26,469 --> 00:47:28,469
agenda.

1183
00:47:29,906 --> 00:47:30,507
Comments upfront rather than

1184
00:47:30,507 --> 00:47:31,174
enforcing it to the end.

1185
00:47:31,174 --> 00:47:31,775
Finally I'd like to endorse

1186
00:47:31,775 --> 00:47:34,775
many of the comments by

1187
00:47:36,613 --> 00:47:36,946
the previous speakers on these

1188
00:47:36,946 --> 00:47:37,381
topics.

1189
00:47:37,381 --> 00:47:37,748
>> Thank you.

1190
00:47:37,748 --> 00:47:38,448
Thank you.

1191
00:47:38,448 --> 00:47:41,448
That concludes all the comment

1192
00:47:43,286 --> 00:47:43,821
on the proclamation.

1193
00:47:43,821 --> 00:47:44,520
Stay All right.

1194
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:45,122
For the record, it wasn't just

1195
00:47:45,122 --> 00:47:48,122
council that got to it.

1196
00:47:49,359 --> 00:47:50,193
It was prior council.

1197
00:47:50,193 --> 00:47:50,827
They got through it and we have

1198
00:47:50,827 --> 00:47:51,528
continued that appropriate

1199
00:47:51,528 --> 00:47:54,528
action that MR. Christie made

1200
00:47:54,865 --> 00:47:55,799
happen.

1201
00:47:55,799 --> 00:47:56,266
So with that we will turn it

1202
00:47:56,266 --> 00:47:56,900
over to Michael.

1203
00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:59,900
Thank you city Clerk, for

1204
00:48:00,504 --> 00:48:01,271
handling all the comment.

1205
00:48:01,271 --> 00:48:01,938
I will turn over to my

1206
00:48:01,938 --> 00:48:02,539
colleagues for questions or

1207
00:48:02,539 --> 00:48:02,873
comments and entertain a

1208
00:48:02,873 --> 00:48:04,873
motion.

1209
00:48:06,143 --> 00:48:06,844
We'll start with Council

1210
00:48:06,844 --> 00:48:07,344
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee and

1211
00:48:07,344 --> 00:48:07,945
Council PRESIDENT.

1212
00:48:07,945 --> 00:48:08,612
>> I'll start by moving

1213
00:48:08,612 --> 00:48:11,120
the proclamation agenda and

1214
00:48:13,150 --> 00:48:13,550
we'll speak to items 31 3334

1215
00:48:13,550 --> 00:48:15,550
and s 500.

1216
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:17,787
I want to start with this 500

1217
00:48:17,787 --> 00:48:18,422
as I'm honored to join this

1218
00:48:18,422 --> 00:48:18,955
proclamation with Council

1219
00:48:18,955 --> 00:48:20,955
PRESIDENT LaCava and

1220
00:48:22,693 --> 00:48:23,426
recognizing Professional

1221
00:48:23,426 --> 00:48:24,161
Municipal Clerks Week there are

1222
00:48:24,161 --> 00:48:27,761
many public servants who do not

1223
00:48:28,599 --> 00:48:29,300
often receive enough

1224
00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:29,966
recognition and I believe our

1225
00:48:29,966 --> 00:48:30,700
municipal clerk is a strong

1226
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:34,300
example of just that They serve

1227
00:48:35,171 --> 00:48:35,839
as a vital link between

1228
00:48:35,839 --> 00:48:36,406
residents and the government

1229
00:48:36,406 --> 00:48:37,740
that represents them.

1230
00:48:37,740 --> 00:48:37,775
And so I think we're taking

1231
00:48:37,775 --> 00:48:40,175
this opportunity to celebrate

1232
00:48:42,346 --> 00:48:43,460
our fantastic city clerk Diana

1233
00:48:43,460 --> 00:48:43,581
Winters, who leads a critical

1234
00:48:43,581 --> 00:48:44,248
office that ensures

1235
00:48:44,248 --> 00:48:47,248
the transparency of our city

1236
00:48:47,585 --> 00:48:48,285
government access to the public

1237
00:48:48,285 --> 00:48:48,852
maintains official records and

1238
00:48:48,852 --> 00:48:49,553
carries out many other

1239
00:48:49,553 --> 00:48:51,953
essential functions that keep

1240
00:48:53,857 --> 00:48:54,258
her local government operating

1241
00:48:54,258 --> 00:48:54,992
effectively.

1242
00:48:54,992 --> 00:48:55,626
We know the court appointed and

1243
00:48:55,626 --> 00:48:59,226
her team go far above and

1244
00:48:59,896 --> 00:49:00,597
beyond that capacity and I

1245
00:49:00,597 --> 00:49:01,265
think you see that in the care

1246
00:49:01,265 --> 00:49:01,999
in which they approach their

1247
00:49:01,999 --> 00:49:04,399
conversations with every member

1248
00:49:06,103 --> 00:49:06,803
of the public who looks to have

1249
00:49:06,803 --> 00:49:07,438
their voice heard in how they

1250
00:49:07,438 --> 00:49:08,710
expand access whether it's

1251
00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:10,710
through language providing

1252
00:49:12,209 --> 00:49:12,843
passport services and more so

1253
00:49:12,843 --> 00:49:13,443
that the public does feel

1254
00:49:13,443 --> 00:49:13,844
engaged with their local

1255
00:49:13,844 --> 00:49:15,844
government.

1256
00:49:18,282 --> 00:49:18,983
And we are very fortunate

1257
00:49:18,983 --> 00:49:19,417
points for your leadership in

1258
00:49:19,417 --> 00:49:20,116
that capacity.

1259
00:49:20,116 --> 00:49:24,316
So thank you to your team for

1260
00:49:25,122 --> 00:49:25,890
the work that you do every

1261
00:49:25,890 --> 00:49:26,691
Sunday An Excel speech Item 31

1262
00:49:26,691 --> 00:49:30,291
I want to thank my colleagues

1263
00:49:30,928 --> 00:49:31,595
Council PRESIDENT Akaka

1264
00:49:31,595 --> 00:49:32,196
Councilmember de Rivera for

1265
00:49:32,196 --> 00:49:32,863
bringing forward today's

1266
00:49:32,863 --> 00:49:34,863
meaningful proclamation and

1267
00:49:35,199 --> 00:49:35,900
recognizing APRIL 24th as

1268
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:36,166
Armenian Genocide Remembrance

1269
00:49:36,166 --> 00:49:36,800
Day.

1270
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,800
Today we come together to

1271
00:49:41,305 --> 00:49:41,939
remember and honor the Armenian

1272
00:49:41,939 --> 00:49:42,540
people and the lives lost

1273
00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:45,509
during one of the first

1274
00:49:45,509 --> 00:49:46,276
genocides of the 20th century.

1275
00:49:46,276 --> 00:49:46,978
In the late 1800s and early

1276
00:49:46,978 --> 00:49:47,578
1900s, Armenians living under

1277
00:49:47,578 --> 00:49:49,978
the Ottoman Empire faced

1278
00:49:51,916 --> 00:49:52,616
increasing prosecution and

1279
00:49:52,616 --> 00:49:53,284
discrimination during a period

1280
00:49:53,284 --> 00:49:56,284
of political unrest and war.

1281
00:49:57,522 --> 00:49:58,155
And on APRIL 24th, 1915,

1282
00:49:58,155 --> 00:49:58,890
Armenian intellectuals and

1283
00:49:58,890 --> 00:50:01,290
community leaders were arrested

1284
00:50:02,793 --> 00:50:03,494
marking what is the beginning

1285
00:50:03,494 --> 00:50:06,494
of the Armenian genocide From

1286
00:50:07,732 --> 00:50:08,432
1915 to 1923 approximately 1.5

1287
00:50:08,432 --> 00:50:09,660
million Armenians were killed

1288
00:50:09,660 --> 00:50:09,734
through massacres, forced

1289
00:50:09,734 --> 00:50:11,734
deportations, starvation and

1290
00:50:14,138 --> 00:50:14,806
death marches.

1291
00:50:14,806 --> 00:50:15,506
Families were displaced from

1292
00:50:15,506 --> 00:50:16,206
their homes and survivors were

1293
00:50:16,206 --> 00:50:16,774
forced to rebuild their lives

1294
00:50:16,774 --> 00:50:18,774
and communities across

1295
00:50:20,244 --> 00:50:20,545
the world including in San

1296
00:50:20,545 --> 00:50:21,245
Diego.

1297
00:50:21,245 --> 00:50:23,645
Despite unimaginable loss and

1298
00:50:26,684 --> 00:50:27,385
hardship, the Armenian people

1299
00:50:27,385 --> 00:50:27,952
preserved their culture, faith

1300
00:50:27,952 --> 00:50:28,553
and traditions through

1301
00:50:28,553 --> 00:50:29,220
resilience and strength.

1302
00:50:29,220 --> 00:50:29,854
And today those communities

1303
00:50:29,854 --> 00:50:32,254
continue to enrich cities

1304
00:50:32,423 --> 00:50:32,723
around the world including San

1305
00:50:32,723 --> 00:50:33,424
Diego.

1306
00:50:33,424 --> 00:50:34,125
And so we're here to recognize

1307
00:50:34,125 --> 00:50:36,125
Armenian genocide Remembrance

1308
00:50:38,830 --> 00:50:39,530
Day to honor the memory of

1309
00:50:39,530 --> 00:50:40,131
the victims and survivors and

1310
00:50:40,131 --> 00:50:40,765
stand in solidarity with

1311
00:50:40,765 --> 00:50:43,165
the Armenian community in

1312
00:50:44,335 --> 00:50:44,969
condemning the atrocities that

1313
00:50:44,969 --> 00:50:45,303
were waged by the Ottoman

1314
00:50:45,303 --> 00:50:46,360
Empire.

1315
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,636
And I especially think the team

1316
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:51,642
from the University of

1317
00:50:51,642 --> 00:50:52,343
California San Diego Local

1318
00:50:52,343 --> 00:50:52,943
Affairs along with members of

1319
00:50:52,943 --> 00:50:54,943
Armenian Pre-Law society

1320
00:50:56,647 --> 00:50:57,382
believe who helped to draft and

1321
00:50:57,382 --> 00:50:59,782
bring forward this proclamation

1322
00:51:02,353 --> 00:51:03,121
for our consideration today and

1323
00:51:03,121 --> 00:51:03,855
join them in commemorating

1324
00:51:03,855 --> 00:51:04,422
the remembrance of all Armenian

1325
00:51:04,422 --> 00:51:06,422
lives and celebrating

1326
00:51:08,459 --> 00:51:09,394
the contributions.

1327
00:51:09,394 --> 00:51:10,610
>> Next for item 30 four I want

1328
00:51:10,610 --> 00:51:13,610
to celebrate the 19th annual

1329
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:15,399
San Diego Dragon Boat Festival

1330
00:51:15,399 --> 00:51:16,167
today.

1331
00:51:16,167 --> 00:51:16,801
Festival Day which is coming up

1332
00:51:16,801 --> 00:51:19,201
shortly this next weekend.

1333
00:51:21,438 --> 00:51:22,140
The tradition tradition dates

1334
00:51:22,140 --> 00:51:22,841
back more than 2000 years and

1335
00:51:22,841 --> 00:51:23,474
locally the San Diego Alliance

1336
00:51:23,474 --> 00:51:25,874
for Asian Pacific Islander

1337
00:51:27,110 --> 00:51:27,645
Americans has hosted the event

1338
00:51:27,645 --> 00:51:28,279
annually almost every year

1339
00:51:28,279 --> 00:51:28,846
except for I think during

1340
00:51:28,846 --> 00:51:29,346
the pandemic perhaps.

1341
00:51:29,346 --> 00:51:31,346
And we appreciate

1342
00:51:33,751 --> 00:51:34,518
the coordination and dedication

1343
00:51:34,518 --> 00:51:35,220
that it takes for our group of

1344
00:51:35,220 --> 00:51:35,586
volunteers to bring teams from

1345
00:51:35,586 --> 00:51:37,586
all over.

1346
00:51:39,657 --> 00:51:40,425
Early on a weekend morning to

1347
00:51:40,425 --> 00:51:41,159
get out on Mission Bay and to

than 250,000 residents of a

cultural fabric.

1484
00:56:10,229 --> 00:56:13,229
This Heritage Month was first

1485
00:56:14,434 --> 00:56:15,167
federally commemorated in 1977

1486
00:56:15,167 --> 00:56:15,801

1489
00:56:20,172 --> 00:56:20,940
chosen.

1490
00:56:20,940 --> 00:56:21,640
As you might have heard from

1491
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:22,240
one of the public comments to

1492
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:22,941
recognize the arrival of

1493
00:56:22,941 --> 00:56:25,341
the first Japanese immigrants

1494
00:56:25,578 --> 00:56:26,179
the United States on MAY

1495
00:56:26,179 --> 00:56:26,679
seventh, 1843 and

00:56:26,679 --> 00:56:27,380
the completion of

1497
00:56:27,380 --> 00:56:29,380
the Transcontinental Railroad

1498
00:56:30,516 --> 00:56:31,216
on MAY 10th of 1869.

1499
00:56:31,216 --> 00:56:31,883
Both this record a historic

1500
00:56:31,883 --> 00:56:34,283
achievement made possible to

1501
00:56:36,255 --> 00:56:36,923
the Labor of Chinese immigrants

1502
00:56:36,923 --> 00:56:39,923
who are often exploited and

1503
00:56:41,927 --> 00:56:42,528
excluded The effects

1504
00:56:42,528 --> 00:56:43,129
the federally recognized

1505
00:56:43,129 --> 00:56:43,729
the significance of hpi

1506
00:56:43,729 --> 00:56:45,729
communities came through

1507
00:56:46,766 --> 00:56:47,366
the White House initiative on

1508
00:56:47,366 --> 00:56:48,101
Asian-Americans, Native

1509
00:56:48,101 --> 00:56:48,800
Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders

1510
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,800
which helped to guide efforts

1511
00:56:52,905 --> 00:56:53,639
since its establishment in 1999

1512
00:56:53,639 --> 00:56:54,274
until it was eliminated by this

1513
00:56:54,274 --> 00:56:56,274
current administration on

1514
00:56:57,242 --> 00:56:58,111
JANUARY 20th, 2025.

1515
00:56:58,111 --> 00:56:58,778
So at a time when cultural

1516
00:56:58,778 --> 00:57:01,178
communities continue to face

1517
00:57:02,782 --> 00:57:03,483
discrimination, erasure and

1518
00:57:03,483 --> 00:57:04,150
attacks on their histories and

1519
00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:04,784
identities, we proudly stand

1520
00:57:04,784 --> 00:57:07,184
with all those represented

1521
00:57:08,354 --> 00:57:09,220
within the Asian-American

1522
00:57:09,220 --> 00:57:09,722
Native Hawaiian and Pacific

1523
00:57:09,722 --> 00:57:10,423
Islander community And we take

1524
00:57:10,423 --> 00:57:11,560
this opportunity to recognize

1525
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,456
how diverse that community

1526
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:14,560
truly is so that we can

1527
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:15,261
continue to disaggregate

1528
00:57:15,261 --> 00:57:18,261
the data, broaden the language

1529
00:57:19,232 --> 00:57:19,832
access and truly celebrate each

1530
00:57:19,832 --> 00:57:20,366
of the unique cultures,

1531
00:57:20,366 --> 00:57:20,834
histories and needs.

1532
00:57:20,834 --> 00:57:23,234
I want to thank

1533
00:57:24,637 --> 00:57:25,305

show up for young people across

1615
00:59:41,608 --> 00:59:42,342
the city from our youngest

1616
00:59:42,342 --> 00:59:45,342
learners in our early childhood

1617
00:59:45,946 --> 00:59:46,613
groups to our advanced

1618
00:59:46,613 --> 00:59:49,130

00:59:51,170 --> 00:59:51,718
This work matters deeply to

1620
00:59:51,718 --> 00:59:52,180
families and it matters to San

1621
00:59:52,180 --> 00:59:54,180
Diego.

1622
00:59:57,223 --> 00:59:57,891
San Diego has always been a

1623
00:59:57,891 --> 00:59:58,192
city that values culture and

1624
00:59:58,192 --> 00:59:58,926
arts.

1625
00:59:58,926 --> 01:00:01,895
We've seen that commitment show

1626
01:00:01,895 --> 01:00:02,563
up in so many ways over

1627
01:00:02,563 --> 01:00:02,896
the years and we're grateful

1628
01:00:02,896 --> 01:00:04,896
for it.

1629
01:00:07,234 --> 01:00:07,801
>> We also know that cities

1630
01:00:07,801 --> 01:00:08,435
with thriving artistic

1631
01:00:08,435 --> 01:00:10,435
institutions attract young

1632
01:00:12,773 --> 01:00:13,474
families, draw talented workers

1633
01:00:13,474 --> 01:00:13,840
and drive tourism and economic

1634
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,840
vitality.

1635
01:00:18,378 --> 01:00:19,790
The arts are not something that

1636
01:00:19,790 --> 01:00:19,847
San Diego can afford to lose.

1637
01:00:19,847 --> 01:00:22,847
The arts are woven into

1638
01:00:23,516 --> 01:00:24,217
everything this city has to

1639
01:00:24,217 --> 01:00:26,617
offer their infrastructure for

1640
01:00:28,188 --> 01:00:28,889
a thriving city.

1641
01:00:28,889 --> 01:00:29,490
San Diego Youth Symphony has

1642
01:00:29,490 --> 01:00:31,890
been here for 80 years.

1643
01:00:33,994 --> 01:00:34,395
We plan to be here for 80 more

1644
01:00:34,395 --> 01:00:36,395
and beyond.

1645
01:00:38,650 --> 01:00:38,699
And we trust that San Diego

1646
01:00:38,699 --> 01:00:39,400
will continue to invest in

1647
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,400
the culture and the creativity

1648
01:00:43,471 --> 01:00:43,904
that make it such a remarkable

1649
01:00:43,904 --> 01:00:45,904

01:02:34,982 --> 01:02:35,650

And finally I tried my

1730
01:02:41,923 --> 01:02:44,323

All right.

Thank you, sir.

1738
01:02:52,499 --> 01:02:53,167
So we have a motion by Council

1739
01:02:53,167 --> 01:02:53,767

01:02:53,767 --> 01:02:55,736

We'll go next to Council Member

1745
01:03:00,174 --> 01:03:00,841

1748
01:03:05,713 --> 01:03:08,850
I personally want to speak on

1749
01:03:08,850 --> 01:03:09,517
items 32 and 31.

1750
01:03:09,517 --> 01:03:12,517
i'm going to start with

1751
01:03:14,155 --> 01:03:15,890
the Older Americans Month.

1752
01:03:15,890 --> 01:03:18,260
A large percentage of our

1753
01:03:18,260 --> 01:03:18,326
city's population is age 65 and

1754
01:03:18,326 --> 01:03:19,260
older.

1755
01:03:19,260 --> 01:03:22,596
And I want to take this

1756
01:03:22,596 --> 01:03:23,297
opportunity to recognize just a

1757
01:03:23,297 --> 01:03:23,965
few of the many important

1758
01:03:23,965 --> 01:03:26,365
organizations who serve this

1759
01:03:28,536 --> 01:03:28,936
population serving seniors is

1760
01:03:28,936 --> 01:03:29,704
one of them.

1761
01:03:29,704 --> 01:03:30,405
It's been an incredible partner

1762
01:03:30,405 --> 01:03:33,405
in providing resources for San

1763
01:03:33,408 --> 01:03:33,975
Diego's population from meals

1764
01:03:33,975 --> 01:03:36,375
and health services to

1765
01:03:37,778 --> 01:03:38,480
opportunities for connection.

1766
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,480
Recently in District two they

1767
01:03:42,350 --> 01:03:43,510

1768
01:03:43,510 --> 01:03:46,510

apartments for seniors and

1772
01:03:49,223 --> 01:03:52,223
families at the Mount Etna

1773
01:03:52,294 --> 01:03:53,127
campus.

1774
01:03:53,127 --> 01:03:53,795
Also we have Meals on Wheels

1775
01:03:53,795 --> 01:03:56,195
delivering healthy meals to

1776
01:03:57,531 --> 01:03:58,266
seniors around the city and

1777
01:03:58,266 --> 01:03:58,934
county, allowing them to age in

1778
01:03:58,934 --> 01:04:01,934
place while having access to

1779
01:04:02,203 --> 01:04:03,137
proper nutrition.

1780
01:04:03,137 --> 01:04:06,737
Elder help of San Diego helps

1781
01:04:06,908 --> 01:04:10,508
meet seniors where they are by

1782
01:04:12,130 --> 01:04:12,814
providing assistance with daily

1783
01:04:12,814 --> 01:04:15,814
tasks of living like grocery

1784
01:04:17,319 --> 01:04:17,919
shopping, health appointments,

1785
01:04:17,919 --> 01:04:19,919
transportation and more.

1786
01:04:21,922 --> 01:04:22,624
All of these organizations and

1787
01:04:22,624 --> 01:04:23,391
many, many more play a crucial

1788
01:04:23,391 --> 01:04:25,961
role in supporting San Diego as

1789
01:04:25,961 --> 01:04:26,828
older population.

1790
01:04:26,828 --> 01:04:27,528
And I want to thank them and

1791
01:04:27,528 --> 01:04:30,528
all their volunteers and staff

1792
01:04:31,199 --> 01:04:31,899
for the work that they do to

1793
01:04:31,899 --> 01:04:35,499
allow our seniors to age with

1794
01:04:35,903 --> 01:04:36,772
dignity and support.

1795
01:04:36,772 --> 01:04:37,339
And next I'd like to speak on

1796
01:04:37,339 --> 01:04:39,339
the Armenian Genocide

1797
01:04:41,343 --> 01:04:44,343
Remembrance happen a long time

1798
01:04:45,313 --> 01:04:47,713
ago now 1952 1923 the Ottoman

1799
01:04:49,851 --> 01:04:50,585
Empire made a policy to

1800
01:04:50,585 --> 01:04:52,985
exterminate the Armenian people

1801
01:04:54,223 --> 01:04:57,626
who were part of their empire.

1802
01:04:57,626 --> 01:05:01,826
They did so and the rest of

1803
01:05:03,198 --> 01:05:03,899
the world did not complain.

1804
01:05:03,899 --> 01:05:04,599
Thank GOD many Armenians were

1805
01:05:04,599 --> 01:05:08,199
able to escape and now enrich

1806
01:05:08,403 --> 01:05:09,104
all our cultures around

1807
01:05:09,104 --> 01:05:09,537
the world including right here

1808
01:05:09,537 --> 01:05:11,537
in San Diego.

1809
01:05:13,700 --> 01:05:16,700
It is reported that Hitler

1810
01:05:17,546 --> 01:05:18,414
referred to this genocide and

1811
01:05:18,414 --> 01:05:22,140
how it was ignored when he

1812
01:05:22,650 --> 01:05:23,351
ordered his government to

1813
01:05:23,351 --> 01:05:26,351
murder the Jewish people of

1814
01:05:27,456 --> 01:05:28,560
Europe and all the other people

1815
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,456
who disagreed with him.

1816
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:32,270
Let us not forget he killed 12

1817
01:05:32,270 --> 01:05:34,270
million people.

1818
01:05:35,196 --> 01:05:37,596
He murdered 12 million people.

1819
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,502
And so let us never forget

1820
01:05:40,502 --> 01:05:43,502
the lessons of genocide which

1821
01:05:45,106 --> 01:05:45,607
unfortunately are going on

1822
01:05:45,607 --> 01:05:46,541
today as well.

1823
01:05:46,541 --> 01:05:49,778
And so I want to thank

1824
01:05:49,778 --> 01:05:50,479

1825
01:05:50,479 --> 01:05:51,146
proclamation for reminding us

1826
01:05:51,146 --> 01:05:54,146
about the poor Indians, what

1827
01:05:54,850 --> 01:05:55,617
they went through and that let

1828
01:05:55,617 --> 01:05:56,840
us realize that all of us are

1829
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,840
GOD's children.

1830
01:05:59,989 --> 01:06:00,556
Thank you.

1831
01:06:00,556 --> 01:06:01,290

appreciation to you Council

1840
01:06:14,570 --> 01:06:16,970
PRESIDENT And Council PRESIDENT

1841
01:06:17,706 --> 01:06:18,406
Pro Tem Lee for joining me in

1842
01:06:18,406 --> 01:06:20,406
recognizing Armenian Genocide

1843
01:06:23,112 --> 01:06:23,912
Remembrance Day.

1844
01:06:23,912 --> 01:06:24,646
I also had an opportunity to

1845
01:06:24,646 --> 01:06:25,180
briefly meet some students from

1846
01:06:25,180 --> 01:06:27,180
the Armenian Pre-Law

1847
01:06:28,483 --> 01:06:29,185
Association Great job and

1848
01:06:29,185 --> 01:06:29,785
working with Council PRESIDENT

1849
01:06:29,785 --> 01:06:32,785
Pro Tem Lee's office and

1850
01:06:33,188 --> 01:06:36,788
drafting this But I think it's

1851
01:06:37,226 --> 01:06:37,726
important proclamation for a

1852
01:06:37,726 --> 01:06:39,726
number of reasons.

1853
01:06:41,798 --> 01:06:42,297
One just that I could see it in

1854
01:06:42,297 --> 01:06:44,297
the students faces

1855
01:06:45,534 --> 01:06:46,302
the recognition that the city

1856
01:06:46,302 --> 01:06:49,902
that they live in where they

1857
01:06:50,572 --> 01:06:51,306
study is recognizing their

1858
01:06:51,306 --> 01:06:54,306
community, the history of their

1859
01:06:55,511 --> 01:06:56,212
community And as we know and as

1860
01:06:56,212 --> 01:06:59,812
has been said already, this is

1861
01:07:00,349 --> 01:07:01,160
a community that had to has had

1862
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,160
to fight for the recognition

1863
01:07:05,286 --> 01:07:06,550
that this atrocity occurred.

1864
01:07:06,550 --> 01:07:09,291
So as if the pain of that

1865
01:07:09,291 --> 01:07:09,992
atrocity is not enough, having

1866
01:07:09,992 --> 01:07:10,626
to deal with the trauma that

1867
01:07:10,626 --> 01:07:13,626
comes from having to share

1868
01:07:13,695 --> 01:07:14,463
the stories and the evidence

1869
01:07:14,463 --> 01:07:17,463
that that the Armenian people

1870
01:07:18,901 --> 01:07:19,602
were were targeted in and

1871
01:07:19,602 --> 01:07:23,202
targeted in this way makes it

1872
01:07:24,140 --> 01:07:24,806
even more important for cities,

1873
01:07:24,806 --> 01:07:27,206
states and countries around

1874
01:07:28,877 --> 01:07:29,579
the world to recognize Armenian

1875
01:07:29,579 --> 01:07:30,246
genocide and all genocide as

1876
01:07:30,246 --> 01:07:33,246
it's something that is never

1877
01:07:33,649 --> 01:07:34,550
acceptable and should be called

1878
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:38,220
for what it is when we see it

1879
01:07:38,220 --> 01:07:41,820
and never allowed it to happen

1880
01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:43,693
when we see it happening.

1881
01:07:43,693 --> 01:07:44,293
I'll also express my

1882
01:07:44,293 --> 01:07:44,926
appreciation to Council

San Diego.

1954
01:09:46,820 --> 01:09:49,820
The San Diego Youth Symphony

1955
01:09:49,352 --> 01:09:50,530
has been inspiring young

1956
01:09:50,530 --> 01:09:50,553
musicians across our community

1957
01:09:50,553 --> 01:09:52,553
for eight seasons.

1958
01:09:53,723 --> 01:09:54,391
What started back in 1945 as a

1959
01:09:54,391 --> 01:09:56,791
single high school orchestra

1960
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:58,328
founded by conductor Leo Scheer

1961
01:09:58,328 --> 01:09:59,620
has grown into a program that

1962
01:09:59,620 --> 01:09:59,596
now serves more than a thousand

1963
01:09:59,596 --> 01:10:01,596
students every year.

1964
01:10:02,666 --> 01:10:03,333
It's also one of the oldest

1965
01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:04,660
continuously operating youth

1966
01:10:04,660 --> 01:10:07,660
symphonies in the country which

1967
01:10:07,803 --> 01:10:08,338
is something our region can be

1968
01:10:08,338 --> 01:10:09,139
incredibly proud of.

1969
01:10:09,139 --> 01:10:11,975
What stands out to me is how

1970
01:10:11,975 --> 01:10:12,576
committed the organization has

1971
01:10:12,576 --> 01:10:13,243
stayed to making music

1972
01:10:13,243 --> 01:10:15,643
accessible Use Symphony has

1973
01:10:17,214 --> 01:10:17,914
also helped create wonderful

1974
01:10:17,914 --> 01:10:18,548
early childhood programs like

1975
01:10:18,548 --> 01:10:19,216
Chimes and Music Discovery

1976
01:10:19,216 --> 01:10:21,616
helping younger children and

1977
01:10:22,419 --> 01:10:23,119
families find their way into

1978
01:10:23,119 --> 01:10:23,720
music and those children often

1979
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,720
become part of the youth

1980
01:10:27,490 --> 01:10:28,224
orchestras as they grow.

1981
01:10:28,224 --> 01:10:28,959
The San Diego Youth Symphony is

1982
01:10:28,959 --> 01:10:31,661
more than an arts organization.

1983
01:10:31,661 --> 01:10:32,395
It's a force that lifts up

1984
01:10:32,395 --> 01:10:33,129
young people, supports families

1985
01:10:33,129 --> 01:10:35,529

across our region through

1987
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:37,801
the power of music.

1988
01:10:37,801 --> 01:10:38,468

01:11:20,810 --> 01:11:21,111

important commemoration of

01:11:33,957 --> 01:11:34,558
the 1.5 million Armenians who

2031
01:11:34,558 --> 01:11:36,958
lost their lives during

2032
01:11:37,940 --> 01:11:37,427
the Armenian genocide from 1915

2033
01:11:37,427 --> 01:11:38,128

01:11:42,990 --> 01:11:42,799
up this legacy because we have

2037
01:11:42,799 --> 01:11:43,467
to learn from history so that

2038
01:11:43,467 --> 01:11:46,570
we do not repeat it again.

2039
01:11:46,570 --> 01:11:47,237

01:11:52,750 --> 01:11:55,675

2046
01:11:56,746 --> 01:11:57,347
the many older people and older

2047
01:11:57,347 --> 01:11:58,150

01:11:58,150 --> 01:12:00,150
experience and contributions

2049
01:12:00,817 --> 01:12:01,485

01:12:01,485 --> 01:12:02,186

2052
01:12:02,553 --> 01:12:04,553
my lives.

2053
01:12:06,490 --> 01:12:07,224
Approximately 1 in 7 San

2054
01:12:07,224 --> 01:12:07,891
Diegans are age 65 or older and

2055
01:12:07,891 --> 01:12:10,291
that population continues to

2056
01:12:10,527 --> 01:12:11,161
grow making it even more

2057
01:12:11,161 --> 01:12:11,861
important that we support

2058
01:12:11,861 --> 01:12:12,262
healthy connected age friendly

2059
01:12:12,262 --> 01:12:14,262
communities.

2060
01:12:15,164 --> 01:12:15,933
You know, up in Rancho Bernardo

2061
01:12:15,933 --> 01:12:16,600
we got to celebrate the Brown

2062
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:17,340
Senior Center and the Oasis

2063
01:12:17,340 --> 01:12:19,340
Senior Center.

2064
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:21,538
We have a lot going on and we

2065
01:12:21,538 --> 01:12:23,938
need more and more.

2066
01:12:24,141 --> 01:12:24,842
My grandfather actually was

2067
01:12:24,842 --> 01:12:25,576
with us to 102 years old.

2068
01:12:25,576 --> 01:12:29,460
And believe me he was with it.

2069
01:12:29,460 --> 01:12:29,713
He could even log on to Zoom's

2070
01:12:29,713 --> 01:12:32,113
during the pandemic at 101.

2071
01:12:33,416 --> 01:12:33,984
So we definitely want to invest

2072
01:12:33,984 --> 01:12:34,785
in older Americans.

2073
01:12:34,785 --> 01:12:36,785

bringing this forward as well.

2078
01:12:43,994 --> 01:12:44,695
I want to celebrate all of our

2079
01:12:44,695 --> 01:12:46,695
Asian-American Native Hawaiian

2080
01:12:47,532 --> 01:12:48,132
and Pacific Islanders here in

2081
01:12:48,132 --> 01:12:48,832
our greater community.

2082
01:12:48,832 --> 01:12:49,533
You make our community vibrant

2083
01:12:49,533 --> 01:12:51,933
and strong with contributions

2084
01:12:52,803 --> 01:12:53,437
to civic life to the arts, to

2085
01:12:53,437 --> 01:12:54,137
philanthropy, to business.

2086
01:12:54,137 --> 01:12:57,137
We had a wonderful celebration

2087
01:12:57,508 --> 01:12:58,209
just over the weekend of

2088
01:12:58,209 --> 01:12:58,876

2090
01:12:59,376 --> 01:13:01,445
here in San Diego.

2091
01:13:01,445 --> 01:13:02,146
And I look forward to making

2092
01:13:02,146 --> 01:13:02,846
San Diego a more inclusive and

2093
01:13:02,846 --> 01:13:05,846
welcoming city for all through

work.

2100
01:13:16,861 --> 01:13:17,728
You know they get here much

2101
01:13:17,728 --> 01:13:18,429
earlier than any of us do and

2102
01:13:18,429 --> 01:13:19,129
often stay much later than any

2103
01:13:19,129 --> 01:13:21,132
of us do to make sure that

2104
01:13:21,132 --> 01:13:21,499
the public can participate in

2105
01:13:21,499 --> 01:13:22,433
democracy.

2106
01:13:22,433 --> 01:13:26,633
>> So if we could just take a

2107
01:13:30,975 --> 01:13:31,642
second give all of you a hand.

2108
01:13:31,642 --> 01:13:34,420
>> Thank you very much.

2109
01:13:36,914 --> 01:13:37,248
And at item 5o4 building

2110
01:13:37,248 --> 01:13:38,182
safety.

2111
01:13:38,182 --> 01:13:41,118
Thank you so much to all of our

2112
01:13:41,118 --> 01:13:41,786
hardworking city employees who

2113
01:13:41,786 --> 01:13:42,453
worked so hard to make sure

2114
01:13:42,453 --> 01:13:45,453
that buildings are safe and

2115
01:13:46,190 --> 01:13:46,891
able to habitat or able to be

2116
01:13:46,891 --> 01:13:47,258
able to be inside buildings in

2117
01:13:47,258 --> 01:13:49,258
San Diego.

2118
01:13:51,950 --> 01:13:51,829
You know, we do have wildfires,

2119
01:13:51,829 --> 01:13:52,563
earthquakes, flooding and other

2120
01:13:52,563 --> 01:13:55,563
emergencies that can impact us.

2121
01:13:55,700 --> 01:13:56,266
So making sure we have strong

2122
01:13:56,266 --> 01:13:56,634
resilient buildings is

2123
01:13:56,634 --> 01:13:57,301
important.

2124
01:13:57,301 --> 01:14:00,438
I mean we saw tragedies come

2125
01:14:00,438 --> 01:14:01,239
out of nowhere such as in

2126
01:14:01,239 --> 01:14:01,906
Florida when the entire half of

2127
01:14:01,906 --> 01:14:02,573
the condo complex collapsed

2128
01:14:02,573 --> 01:14:05,573
after erosion from the sea.

2129
01:14:05,976 --> 01:14:06,276
So just thank you for your

2130
01:14:06,276 --> 01:14:07,110
work.

2131
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:07,644

2159
01:14:53,691 --> 01:14:56,691
created a space where seniors

about 2025 years to get it to

2167
01:15:10,608 --> 01:15:11,342
where our seniors have a place

2168
01:15:11,342 --> 01:15:11,910
they call home and a place they

2169
01:15:11,910 --> 01:15:13,910
use quite frequently.

2170
01:15:15,113 --> 01:15:15,680

don't know what else more needs

2188
01:15:43,375 --> 01:15:45,375
to be said.

2189
01:15:47,312 --> 01:15:48,450
You know I remember growing up

2190
01:15:48,450 --> 01:15:51,450
when Lincoln High School across

2191
01:15:51,983 --> 01:15:52,751
the street had an empty lot.

2192
01:15:52,751 --> 01:15:53,518
You could see our Samoan

2193
01:15:53,518 --> 01:15:56,518
brothers and sisters out there

2194
01:15:56,921 --> 01:15:57,856
playing cricket in the lot.

2195
01:15:57,856 --> 01:16:01,359
And I just remember that so

2196
01:16:01,359 --> 01:16:02,126
vividly growing up.

2197
01:16:02,126 --> 01:16:02,861

recognize the cultures,

2202
01:16:11,303 --> 01:16:12,360
histories and traditions that

2203
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,436

2204
01:16:14,839 --> 01:16:15,273

01:19:00,205 --> 01:19:03,420
deported or exiled from their

2293
01:19:03,420 --> 01:19:03,808
homeland.

2294
01:19:03,808 --> 01:19:04,510
Recognizing this as one of

2295
01:19:04,510 --> 01:19:07,510
the darkest chapters in human

2296
01:19:07,813 --> 01:19:08,514
history while honoring

2297
01:19:08,514 --> 01:19:09,470
the resolve and resilience of

2298
01:19:09,470 --> 01:19:09,615
the Armenian people.

2299
01:19:09,615 --> 01:19:11,615
Despite enduring those

2300
01:19:13,552 --> 01:19:14,186
atrocities, the Iranian people

2301
01:19:14,186 --> 01:19:14,854
have rebuilt their lives,

2302
01:19:14,854 --> 01:19:15,521
preserved their culture and

2303
01:19:15,521 --> 01:19:18,190
contributed to the fabric of

2304
01:19:18,190 --> 01:19:18,958
their communities after they've

2305
01:19:18,958 --> 01:19:23,158
done so here in San Diego we

2306
01:19:23,195 --> 01:19:23,928
stand in solidarity with them,

2307
01:19:23,928 --> 01:19:24,630
acknowledging their stories and

2308
01:19:24,630 --> 01:19:27,630

the youngest at heart we

continues with age, we know it

2318
01:19:44,516 --> 01:19:45,217
is important to continue to

2319
01:19:45,217 --> 01:19:47,586
uplift services and resources

2320
01:19:47,586 --> 01:19:48,354

Board is an excellent example

2324
01:19:53,659 --> 01:19:54,394
of local resources that

2325
01:19:54,394 --> 01:19:56,794
continually emphasize the needs

2326
01:19:57,630 --> 01:19:57,763
and voices of older adults

2327
01:19:57,763 --> 01:20:00,163
through policy advancement and

2328
01:20:01,601 --> 01:20:02,268
age friendly programs.

2329
01:20:02,268 --> 01:20:03,200

01:20:12,178 --> 01:20:14,578
engagement and connection that

2335
01:20:15,781 --> 01:20:16,549
strengthen San Diego every day

2336
01:20:16,549 --> 01:20:17,160
and I'll be tapping into those

2337
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,160
in JANUARY 2029.

2338
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:21,654
>> Thank you to those whose

2339
01:20:21,654 --> 01:20:22,321
lifelong contributions continue

Month in the city of San Diego.

2345
01:20:35,401 --> 01:20:38,604
And in doing so we highlight

2346
01:20:38,604 --> 01:20:39,305
the people and the work it

2347
01:20:39,305 --> 01:20:39,772
takes to ensure the safety of

2348
01:20:39,772 --> 01:20:41,772
our communities.

2349
01:20:43,576 --> 01:20:44,143
As an engineer myself I am

2350
01:20:44,143 --> 01:20:44,777

01:20:48,647 --> 01:20:49,315
the building safety industry

2354
01:20:49,315 --> 01:20:49,949
the amount of precision and

2355
01:20:49,949 --> 01:20:52,949
expertise and care that is

2356
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:54,621
required to ensure that our

2357
01:20:54,621 --> 01:20:55,355
facilities and infrastructure

2358
01:20:55,355 --> 01:20:58,725
is safe is often overlooked but

2359
01:20:58,725 --> 01:20:59,359
is essential to protecting and

2360
01:20:59,359 --> 01:20:59,859
maintaining public safety.

2361
01:20:59,859 --> 01:21:02,259
The city relies on

2362
01:21:02,662 --> 01:21:03,363
the development Services

2363
01:21:03,363 --> 01:21:04,300
Department and Fire Rescue to

2364
01:21:04,300 --> 01:21:07,300
play a critical role in

2365
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:08,667
the oversight and determination

2366
01:21:08,667 --> 01:21:09,235
of sound infrastructure.

2367
01:21:09,235 --> 01:21:11,235
Building Safety Month

2368
01:21:12,805 --> 01:21:13,506
highlights the unseen work that

2369
01:21:13,506 --> 01:21:13,906
is done in buildings before we

2370
01:21:13,906 --> 01:21:15,906
enter them.

2371
01:21:17,443 --> 01:21:18,770

shine a light on a profession

2384
01:21:38,131 --> 01:21:38,832
that continues to make

2385
01:21:38,832 --> 01:21:41,232
the government transparent and

2386
01:21:41,968 --> 01:21:42,468
most importantly accessible to

2387
01:21:42,468 --> 01:21:43,169
its constituents.

2388
01:21:43,169 --> 01:21:46,639
Our City Clerk and the City of

2389
01:21:46,639 --> 01:21:47,306
San Diego Clerk's office is

2390
01:21:47,306 --> 01:21:47,941
the very embodiment of that

2391
01:21:47,941 --> 01:21:50,941
ideal and whether it is

2392
01:21:52,780 --> 01:21:52,778
translate 18 official documents

2393
01:21:52,778 --> 01:21:55,178
into eight different languages

2394
01:21:55,915 --> 01:21:56,583
making records accessible to

2395
01:21:56,583 --> 01:21:57,149
the public and even offering

2396
01:21:57,149 --> 01:21:57,784
passport services they

2397
01:21:57,784 --> 01:21:59,784
consistently exceed their

2398
01:22:01,288 --> 01:22:02,220
mission to provide accurate

2399
01:22:02,220 --> 01:22:04,422
information and maximize access

2400
01:22:06,125 --> 01:22:06,760
to municipal government

2401
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:07,326
regardless of language or

2402
01:22:07,326 --> 01:22:09,326
experience with local

2403
01:22:10,897 --> 01:22:11,497
government, the public can

2404
01:22:11,497 --> 01:22:12,198
consistently rely on

2405
01:22:12,198 --> 01:22:12,799
the clerk's office to deliver

2406
01:22:12,799 --> 01:22:14,799

2407
01:22:17,404 --> 01:22:18,171
information.

2408
01:22:18,171 --> 01:22:18,838
So as my colleagues have said,

2409
01:22:18,838 --> 01:22:20,941
thank you Clark Fuentes and

2410
01:22:20,941 --> 01:22:21,908
your amazing team including

2411
01:22:21,908 --> 01:22:25,508
Mary way back there for all

2412
01:22:25,945 --> 01:22:26,645
the work that you do to keep

2413
01:22:26,645 --> 01:22:27,247
our meetings running smoothly

2414
01:22:27,247 --> 01:22:29,647
and San Diego civically

2415
01:22:30,830 --> 01:22:30,950
informed.

2416
01:22:30,950 --> 01:22:31,552
And even though this role is

2417
01:22:31,552 --> 01:22:34,552
the one that is probably

2418
01:22:35,550 --> 01:22:35,689
the most visible to the public

2419
01:22:35,689 --> 01:22:36,423
as the council member Eli

2420
01:22:36,423 --> 01:22:40,230
Rivera kind of alluded to, what

2421
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:41,595
you don't see and that

2422
01:22:41,595 --> 01:22:42,262
the council PRESIDENT Has

2423
01:22:42,262 --> 01:22:45,165
the opportunity to see that

2424
01:22:45,165 --> 01:22:45,799
starting out Maybe about 9:00

2425
01:22:45,799 --> 01:22:46,400
in preparation for council

2426
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,400
hearings and all the way

2427
01:22:50,569 --> 01:22:51,238
through no matter what happens,

2428
01:22:51,238 --> 01:22:53,238
what technological glitches,

2429
01:22:55,208 --> 01:22:55,776
what difficulty the public has

2430
01:22:55,776 --> 01:22:56,476
either coming up to

2431
01:22:56,476 --> 01:22:59,476
the microphone or calling in

2432
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:01,415
and all the emails and texts

2433
01:23:01,415 --> 01:23:05,150
that are coming your way during

2434
01:23:05,180 --> 01:23:05,786
the course of the meeting.

2435
01:23:05,786 --> 01:23:06,420
You Jack you all are just

2436
01:23:06,420 --> 01:23:09,420
relentless in what you do.

2437
01:23:10,624 --> 01:23:11,191
So we're just very, very

2438
01:23:11,191 --> 01:23:12,590
appreciative of that.

2439
01:23:12,590 --> 01:23:15,495
>> So I'm going to allow Clark

2440
01:23:15,495 --> 01:23:15,862
contests a few comments before

2441
01:23:15,862 --> 01:23:16,530
we close.

2442
01:23:16,530 --> 01:23:19,530
>> Thank you so much Council

2443
01:23:20,334 --> 01:23:21,101
PRESIDENT And I'll try to keep

2444
01:23:21,101 --> 01:23:21,535
in short I'll even time myself.

2445
01:23:21,535 --> 01:23:23,535
Just kidding.

2446
01:23:24,838 --> 01:23:25,571
I will On behalf of the Office

2447
01:23:25,571 --> 01:23:29,760
of the City Clerk I really want

2448
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:29,809
to sincerely thank the Council

2449
01:23:29,809 --> 01:23:30,544
members and the council as well

2450
01:23:30,544 --> 01:23:33,544
for their proclamation for this

2451
01:23:33,947 --> 01:23:34,615
proclamation recognizing

2452
01:23:34,615 --> 01:23:37,150
Municipal Clerks Week being

2453
01:23:39,510 --> 01:23:39,686
remembered I almost forgot is

2454
01:23:39,686 --> 01:23:40,254
when I spoke Clerks Week

2455
01:23:40,254 --> 01:23:40,988
honestly and so being

2456
01:23:40,988 --> 01:23:41,655
remembered and being brought to

2457
01:23:41,655 --> 01:23:43,657
our attention really meant a

2458
01:23:43,657 --> 01:23:44,525
great deal to me and my office.

2459
01:23:44,525 --> 01:23:47,525
The recognition just means so

2460
01:23:48,662 --> 01:23:49,396
much because it reflects not

2461
01:23:49,396 --> 01:23:50,163
only the importance of the work

2462
01:23:50,163 --> 01:23:53,100
we do but the trust you place

2463
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:53,500
in myself and our office every

2464
01:23:53,500 --> 01:23:54,367
single day.

2465
01:23:54,367 --> 01:23:57,604
It is truly an honor to serve

2466
01:23:57,604 --> 01:23:58,372
as the city clerk for the city

2467
01:23:58,372 --> 01:23:59,600
of San Diego and I never take

2468
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,600
lightly the responsibility

2469
01:24:02,209 --> 01:24:02,943
entrusted in me to help uphold

2470
01:24:02,943 --> 01:24:04,943
transparency, accessibility and

2471
01:24:07,348 --> 01:24:07,680
the integrity of our democratic

2472
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:08,448
process.

2473
01:24:08,448 --> 01:24:11,448
But I am especially grateful.

2474
01:24:12,185 --> 01:24:12,786
Oh I got a little I'm

2475
01:24:12,786 --> 01:24:13,520
especially grateful for

2476
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:17,120
the opportunity to lead such an

2477
01:24:17,191 --> 01:24:17,858
extraordinary team of dedicated

2478
01:24:17,858 --> 01:24:18,492
public servants who make our

2479
01:24:18,492 --> 01:24:20,892
office shine through their

2480
01:24:22,730 --> 01:24:23,129
professionalism, expertise and

2481
01:24:23,129 --> 01:24:23,864
real heart.

2482
01:24:23,864 --> 01:24:27,201
The work of the clerk's office

2483
01:24:27,201 --> 01:24:27,901
often happens behind the scenes

2484
01:24:27,901 --> 01:24:28,602
but it is foundational to

2485
01:24:28,602 --> 01:24:29,168
ensuring the public can engage

2486
01:24:29,168 --> 01:24:31,168
with their government.

2487
01:24:32,506 --> 01:24:33,240
While we don't usually toot our

2488
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,840
own horns, we do appreciate and

2489
01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:37,611
and really take our jobs

2490
01:24:37,611 --> 01:24:38,279
seriously whether it's

2491
01:24:38,279 --> 01:24:38,912
coordinating city elections,

2492
01:24:38,912 --> 01:24:40,912
maintaining and preserving

2493
01:24:42,448 --> 01:24:43,490
official records, supporting

2494
01:24:43,490 --> 01:24:43,684
the legislative process,

2495
01:24:43,684 --> 01:24:45,684
providing language access,

2496
01:24:47,421 --> 01:24:48,122
modernizing systems, providing

2497
01:24:48,122 --> 01:24:48,856
passport services or ensuring

2498
01:24:48,856 --> 01:24:52,226
the public has timely access to

2499
01:24:52,226 --> 01:24:53,260
information.

2500
01:24:53,260 --> 01:24:53,726
Our team really does approach

2501
01:24:53,726 --> 01:24:56,126
every responsibility with care

2502
01:24:56,897 --> 01:24:57,631
and commitment and that's what

2503
01:24:57,631 --> 01:24:58,232
makes the difference in being a

2504
01:24:58,232 --> 01:25:01,232
part of the Clark team.

2505
01:25:01,635 --> 01:25:02,369
The work we do and the things

2506
01:25:02,369 --> 01:25:03,300
we accomplish are only possible

2507
01:25:03,300 --> 01:25:05,403

2508
01:25:06,273 --> 01:25:07,174

2509
01:25:07,174 --> 01:25:10,174

the city.

Their work ethic, integrity and

2515
01:25:20,955 --> 01:25:21,589
dedication inspire me every day

2516
01:25:21,589 --> 01:25:22,288
and help me move forward.

here, right?

2650
01:41:53,850 --> 01:41:55,687
Because the thing is is that we

2651
01:41:55,687 --> 01:41:56,354
go out in the community and

2652
01:41:56,354 --> 01:41:56,988
what we do people have to

2653
01:41:56,988 --> 01:41:59,388
understand our function is

2654
01:42:00,580 --> 01:42:00,425
different than the police

2655
01:42:00,425 --> 01:42:01,159
function.

2656
01:42:01,159 --> 01:42:04,759
They go in there once it

2657
01:42:05,196 --> 01:42:05,831
happens where before it happens

2658
01:42:05,831 --> 01:42:06,498
we're prevention So we're

2659
01:42:06,498 --> 01:42:08,498
intervention in prevention.

2660
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:10,669
So what we're trying to do is

2661
01:42:10,669 --> 01:42:11,403
before something even takes

2662
01:42:11,403 --> 01:42:14,506
place prevent it And then if

2663
01:42:14,506 --> 01:42:15,173
something does take place then

2664
01:42:15,173 --> 01:42:18,173
we reach back into community

2665
01:42:19,277 --> 01:42:19,945
with our connections and we try

2666
01:42:19,945 --> 01:42:20,646
to prevent more from taking

2667
01:42:20,646 --> 01:42:23,582
place So we try to prevent

2668
01:42:23,582 --> 01:42:24,283
violence from happening in

2669
01:42:24,283 --> 01:42:24,684
the first place And then what

2670
01:42:24,684 --> 01:42:25,417
does happen?

2671
01:42:25,417 --> 01:42:27,786
We swing into action to try to

2672
01:42:27,786 --> 01:42:28,386
prevent the spread of violence.

2673
01:42:28,386 --> 01:42:30,786
Another part of our

2674
01:42:32,891 --> 01:42:33,626
intervention efforts is at risk

2675
01:42:33,626 --> 01:42:37,226
Youth mentoring We try to reach

2676
01:42:37,663 --> 01:42:38,396
out to the community and

2677
01:42:38,396 --> 01:42:41,996
identify the youth that we feel

2678
01:42:42,401 --> 01:42:43,350
are most at risk and we take

2679
01:42:43,350 --> 01:42:43,334
those youth then we mentor

2680
01:42:43,334 --> 01:42:45,334
them.

2681
01:42:46,872 --> 01:42:47,572
We offer them wraparound

2682
01:42:47,572 --> 01:42:48,441
services where possible and we

2683
01:42:48,441 --> 01:42:52,410
do everything that we can to

2684
01:42:52,411 --> 01:42:53,349
get them right.

2685
01:42:53,349 --> 01:42:56,849
So you can see that we have a

2686
01:42:56,849 --> 01:42:57,449
multifaceted approach to

2687
01:42:57,449 --> 01:42:58,183
improving the safety of

2688
01:42:58,183 --> 01:43:01,860
the communities to stopping gun

2689
01:43:01,860 --> 01:43:01,960
and gang violence.

2690
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,960
Interruption Some of us are

2691
01:43:06,492 --> 01:43:07,226
even domestic violence

2692
01:43:07,226 --> 01:43:07,626
counselors including myself and

2693
01:43:07,626 --> 01:43:09,626
MR. Bowzer.

2694
01:43:10,830 --> 01:43:11,430
So I want to say I appreciate

2695
01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:14,430
you guys Please make it

2696
01:43:16,368 --> 01:43:17,690
possible for us to continue.

2697
01:43:17,690 --> 01:43:17,436
Thank you for that concluding

2698
01:43:17,436 --> 01:43:19,436
statement.

2699
01:43:21,506 --> 01:43:22,241

I did receive one with no name

2711
01:43:39,925 --> 01:43:40,393
so I don't know who you are.

2712
01:43:40,393 --> 01:43:40,827

2713
01:43:40,827 --> 01:43:42,827
Good morning.

2714
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:44,463
We're actually AUGUST

2715
01:43:44,463 --> 01:43:45,164
afternoon.

2716
01:43:45,164 --> 01:43:45,531
I want to thank the council.

2717
01:43:45,531 --> 01:43:46,198
I'm here.

2718
01:43:46,198 --> 01:43:48,901
My name is Sandra Keaton.

2719
01:43:48,901 --> 01:43:49,568
I'm actually from Essex and

2720
01:43:49,568 --> 01:43:50,369
mostly I'm here to show my

2721
01:43:50,369 --> 01:43:53,369
gratitude for the leadership of

2722
01:43:53,706 --> 01:43:56,706
the council to continue to

2723
01:43:58,243 --> 01:43:58,945
support the programing that

2724
01:43:58,945 --> 01:43:59,611
really is rooted in the lived

2725
01:43:59,611 --> 01:44:02,110
experience of community to

2726
01:44:03,115 --> 01:44:03,816
recognize the value that this

2727
01:44:03,816 --> 01:44:06,816
brings in addressing the harm

2728
01:44:07,286 --> 01:44:07,652
that comes from violence in our

2729
01:44:07,652 --> 01:44:08,321
community.

2730
01:44:08,321 --> 01:44:08,988
It's a positive partnership

2731
01:44:08,988 --> 01:44:11,388
between law enforcement and

2732
01:44:13,393 --> 01:44:14,930
community and it's part of it

2733
01:44:14,930 --> 01:44:16,762
speaks mostly we want to um

2734
01:44:16,762 --> 01:44:17,463
extend our gratitude and thank

2735
01:44:17,463 --> 01:44:20,463
you for recognizing the value

2736
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:22,100
of this program and all

2737
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:22,568
the work of support as well.

2738
01:44:22,568 --> 01:44:24,568
So thank you.

2739
01:44:31,310 --> 01:44:31,811
Thank you Alvin Hayes.

2740
01:44:31,811 --> 01:44:32,412
Morning everyone.

2741
01:44:32,412 --> 01:44:35,348
My name is Alvin Hayes.

2742
01:44:35,348 --> 01:44:35,848
I'm also a team member of

2743
01:44:35,848 --> 01:44:37,848
Support Outreach.

2744
01:44:40,853 --> 01:44:41,587
No Shots Fire Program.

2745
01:44:41,587 --> 01:44:42,287
As my colleague just said a

2746
01:44:42,287 --> 01:44:45,391
while ago, this very point is

2747
01:44:45,391 --> 01:44:46,920
very important for this And I

2748
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,692
want to thank each and every

2749
01:44:50,996 --> 01:44:51,965
one of you who had a hand in in

2750
01:44:51,965 --> 01:44:55,168
this for us to excuse me to

2751
01:44:55,168 --> 01:44:56,350
continue with what it is that

2752
01:44:56,350 --> 01:44:59,635
we're doing and also to raise

2753
01:44:59,739 --> 01:45:00,306
the importance of even though

2754
01:45:00,306 --> 01:45:00,973
we're out there doing

2755
01:45:00,973 --> 01:45:03,373
the community outreach, you

2756
01:45:04,911 --> 01:45:05,612
know, is still you know,

2757
01:45:05,612 --> 01:45:06,120
there's still the violence is

2758
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,120
still there.

2759
01:45:09,382 --> 01:45:10,490
Unfortunately, I was one of

2760
01:45:10,490 --> 01:45:12,619
the victims of gun violence.

2761
01:45:12,619 --> 01:45:13,319
You know, I got shot one one

2762
01:45:13,319 --> 01:45:16,919
night in JANUARY the 9th this

2763
01:45:17,356 --> 01:45:21,227
year and it only put a bigger

2764
01:45:21,227 --> 01:45:22,194
exclamation point for me how

2765
01:45:22,194 --> 01:45:26,394
important it is to try to make

2766
01:45:26,633 --> 01:45:27,600
our community safe.

2767
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:31,800
You know, And so I would like

2768
01:45:31,937 --> 01:45:32,705
to just thank you guys again,

2769
01:45:32,705 --> 01:45:35,705
you know, for even considering

2770
01:45:36,420 --> 01:45:36,875
this.

2771
01:45:36,875 --> 01:45:37,376
You know, the work that we do

2772
01:45:37,376 --> 01:45:38,144
is very important.

2773
01:45:38,144 --> 01:45:40,980
Some people don't like what we

2774
01:45:40,980 --> 01:45:41,747
do but that's not our issue.

2775
01:45:41,747 --> 01:45:45,347
So we're going to continue to

2776
01:45:45,617 --> 01:45:46,419
push forward and hopefully with

2777
01:45:46,419 --> 01:45:46,791
your help and support we will

2778
01:45:46,791 --> 01:45:47,486
continue.

2779
01:45:47,486 --> 01:45:50,486
Thank you for that concluding

2780
01:45:50,690 --> 01:45:51,560
comment, Jeffrey Rath Good

2781
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,560
afternoon.

2782
01:45:55,996 --> 01:45:56,996
My name is Jeffrey Ray.

2783
01:45:56,996 --> 01:45:57,696
I just want to thank all of you

2784
01:45:57,696 --> 01:46:00,660
guys for this opportunity for

2785
01:46:00,660 --> 01:46:00,834
us to continue to do our work

2786
01:46:00,834 --> 01:46:01,601
as an ex-felon and gang member.

2787
01:46:01,601 --> 01:46:05,105
You know, it's amazing to be

2788
01:46:05,105 --> 01:46:05,805
able to promote positivity and

2789
01:46:05,805 --> 01:46:09,405
a change in our community to

2790
01:46:09,776 --> 01:46:10,376
reduce violence because we know

2791
01:46:10,376 --> 01:46:11,110
San Diego is beautiful.

2792
01:46:11,110 --> 01:46:11,711
We want more tourism here.

2793
01:46:11,711 --> 01:46:14,447
We want more families to raise

2794
01:46:14,447 --> 01:46:15,248
their children.

2795
01:46:15,248 --> 01:46:15,515
We want the elderly to retire

2796
01:46:15,515 --> 01:46:16,483
in.

2797
01:46:16,483 --> 01:46:19,819
Our job is to be able to

2798
01:46:19,819 --> 01:46:20,486
influence the generations that

2799
01:46:20,486 --> 01:46:21,188
come before us through even,

2800
01:46:21,188 --> 01:46:24,188
you know, the credibility that

2801
01:46:25,157 --> 01:46:25,858
we have for being where we once

2802
01:46:25,858 --> 01:46:26,626
were but now telling them that

2803
01:46:26,626 --> 01:46:30,130
they can change their lives and

2804
01:46:30,130 --> 01:46:30,997
do something better.

2805
01:46:30,997 --> 01:46:31,698
So you know and just like my

2806
01:46:31,698 --> 01:46:34,698
coworkers are saying we don't

2807
01:46:34,734 --> 01:46:35,435
just focus on gang gun violence

2808
01:46:35,435 --> 01:46:36,102
as we know that broad there's

2809
01:46:36,102 --> 01:46:38,502
Hispanic gangs, black gangs,

2810
01:46:39,606 --> 01:46:40,372
there's Asian gangs.

2811
01:46:40,372 --> 01:46:41,141
We're we're in the mix of all

2812
01:46:41,141 --> 01:46:44,443
of that And we're even helping

2813
01:46:44,443 --> 01:46:45,145
with domestic violence.

2814
01:46:45,145 --> 01:46:45,812
You know, we're helping with

2815
01:46:45,812 --> 01:46:47,812
suicide awareness, emotional

2816
01:46:49,682 --> 01:46:50,150
abuse and even mental health

2817
01:46:50,150 --> 01:46:52,150
substance abuse.

2818
01:46:54,487 --> 01:46:55,222
We're really trying to do what

2819
01:46:55,222 --> 01:46:55,922
we can to make a difference

2820
01:46:55,922 --> 01:46:56,356
because my family's here too.

2821
01:46:56,356 --> 01:46:58,356
So thank you.

2822
01:46:59,593 --> 01:47:00,326
Thank you for that concluding

2823
01:47:00,326 --> 01:47:01,600
comment allegedly Audra, you'll

2824
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,600
have three minutes for speaking

2825
01:47:04,498 --> 01:47:06,498
on items 1021091 1255 60 5963

2826
01:47:14,675 --> 01:47:17,675
and as 503 right facade Chavez

2827
01:47:19,279 --> 01:47:19,946
Parkway we're renaming it

2828
01:47:19,946 --> 01:47:22,346
because of potential sexual

2829
01:47:24,217 --> 01:47:24,918
abuse and assault.

2830
01:47:24,918 --> 01:47:25,652
It's interesting that we care

2831
01:47:25,652 --> 01:47:28,488
about it sometimes when there's

2832
01:47:28,488 --> 01:47:29,222
not any evidence but then when

2833
01:47:29,222 --> 01:47:29,856
there's clear evidence in front

2834
01:47:29,856 --> 01:47:30,456
of you guys, you know, do

2835
01:47:30,456 --> 01:47:32,856
anything because we got

2836
01:47:33,893 --> 01:47:34,528
ambulances that we're

2837
01:47:34,528 --> 01:47:35,294
contracting with that are

2838
01:47:35,294 --> 01:47:38,294
women and drugging them in

2839
01:47:39,660 --> 01:47:39,600
the ambulance on their way to

2840
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:40,234
who knows where jail

2841
01:47:40,234 --> 01:47:42,634
The hospital just depends.

2842
01:47:43,270 --> 01:47:44,137
Um yeah.

2843
01:47:44,137 --> 01:47:44,838
>> And then number 63 by gm

2844
01:47:44,838 --> 01:47:47,838
Technologies Are you guys dope

2845
01:47:48,809 --> 01:47:49,409
to be contracting with

2846
01:47:49,409 --> 01:47:49,910
BlackRock and Vanguard?

2847
01:47:49,910 --> 01:47:51,910
That's good right?

2848
01:47:53,146 --> 01:47:53,780
That's how we keep our data

2849
01:47:53,780 --> 01:47:54,214
secure especially with our

2850
01:47:54,214 --> 01:47:56,214
leased assets.

2851
01:47:58,385 --> 01:47:58,686
So smart to give them that

2852
01:47:58,686 --> 01:47:59,386
data.

2853
01:47:59,386 --> 01:48:00,120
Can't worry about that right.

2854
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,256
It's probably just Trump I mean

2855
01:48:03,256 --> 01:48:03,757
but that's attached to Trump.

2856
01:48:03,757 --> 01:48:04,758
Larry Fink Right.

2857
01:48:04,758 --> 01:48:08,958
You know any who and then we

2858
01:48:11,650 --> 01:48:15,265
have once yeah so 1o2 with this

2859
01:48:15,602 --> 01:48:16,303
dispatching for towing services

2860
01:48:16,303 --> 01:48:19,873
it would be interesting if San

2861
01:48:19,873 --> 01:48:20,573
Diego Police Department wasn't

2862
01:48:20,573 --> 01:48:21,241
engaging in bait cars by

2863
01:48:21,241 --> 01:48:23,641
leaving people that they

2864
01:48:25,412 --> 01:48:26,130
assault having their keys just

2865
01:48:26,130 --> 01:48:26,714
thrown on the ground for

2866
01:48:26,714 --> 01:48:29,714
someone comes and takes their

2867
01:48:30,651 --> 01:48:31,352
vehicle and then it you got to

2868
01:48:31,352 --> 01:48:31,785
pay $1,000 to get it out.

2869
01:48:31,785 --> 01:48:33,785
That's smart.

2870
01:48:35,322 --> 01:48:35,923
Good for them because we also

2871
01:48:35,923 --> 01:48:36,490
have bait bikes, right?

2872
01:48:36,490 --> 01:48:36,856
It's not entrapment or

2873
01:48:36,856 --> 01:48:38,856
anything.

2874
01:48:39,693 --> 01:48:40,361
Poor guy who wound up stealing

2875
01:48:40,361 --> 01:48:43,361
it and then he's getting

2876
01:48:43,496 --> 01:48:44,231
charged for it And then 109

2877
01:48:44,231 --> 01:48:47,231
speakers cannot be trusted with

2878
01:48:48,736 --> 01:48:49,403
money when they had $6 million

2879
01:48:49,403 --> 01:48:50,104
of arpa funds and they were

2880
01:48:50,104 --> 01:48:53,104
doing the transfer site that

2881
01:48:53,707 --> 01:48:56,107
Steven Whitburn wanted to

2882
01:48:57,178 --> 01:48:57,845
pretend didn't exist, they took

2883
01:48:57,845 --> 01:48:58,212
$2 million That's for their

2884
01:48:58,212 --> 01:48:58,913
employees.

2885
01:48:58,913 --> 01:49:01,913
I find that very interesting.

2886
01:49:02,615 --> 01:49:03,160
It was only four months and

2887
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:03,684
three weeks.

2888
01:49:03,684 --> 01:49:04,417
How many employees could you

2889
01:49:04,417 --> 01:49:07,221
possibly have that you're going

2890
01:49:07,221 --> 01:49:07,689
to take a third of the money

2891
01:49:07,689 --> 01:49:09,689
for your pocket.

2892
01:49:11,691 --> 01:49:12,360
So I would hope that if you

2893
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:13,260
care about this you know, no

2894
01:49:13,260 --> 01:49:16,260
shots fired program that you

2895
01:49:16,630 --> 01:49:19,300
would seriously rethink giving

2896
01:49:20,968 --> 01:49:21,669
speakers any funding for it and

2897
01:49:21,669 --> 01:49:22,303
then 112 with the California

2898
01:49:22,303 --> 01:49:24,303
Violence Intervention and

2899
01:49:26,707 --> 01:49:27,475
Prevention grant, I'm wondering

2900
01:49:27,475 --> 01:49:28,209
if you're going to use that to

2901
01:49:28,209 --> 01:49:30,745
make sure the police department

2902
01:49:30,745 --> 01:49:31,479
isn't assaulting women like

2903
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:32,279
beating their face And you know

2904
01:49:32,279 --> 01:49:36,500
what they want to say is that

2905
01:49:36,500 --> 01:49:36,384
she's in competent How Plenty

2906
01:49:36,384 --> 01:49:37,170
of that.

2907
01:49:37,170 --> 01:49:39,417
Yeah Just because you're

2908
01:49:40,154 --> 01:49:40,788
talking about the things that

2909
01:49:40,788 --> 01:49:41,880
are happening in the jail.

2910
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:41,822
Right.

2911
01:49:41,822 --> 01:49:45,422
And it gives the police officer

2912
01:49:45,493 --> 01:49:46,193
good warranting, you know,

2913
01:49:46,193 --> 01:49:46,594
reason to slam your face into

2914
01:49:46,594 --> 01:49:48,594
the ground.

2915
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:54,134
Good thing it wasn't one of you

2916
01:49:54,134 --> 01:49:54,802
any who And then as 503

2917
01:49:54,802 --> 01:49:55,469
the content you state of an

2918
01:49:55,469 --> 01:49:58,469
emergency it's so funny when

2919
01:49:58,639 --> 01:49:59,440
things become routine after

2920
01:49:59,440 --> 01:49:59,874
decades it's like is it really

2921
01:49:59,874 --> 01:50:00,675
an emergency?

2922
01:50:00,675 --> 01:50:04,110
Are we treating it like an

2923
01:50:04,110 --> 01:50:04,745
emergency?

2924
01:50:04,745 --> 01:50:05,379
Is this how we should have

2925
01:50:05,379 --> 01:50:05,679
people at dispatch on 911

2926
01:50:05,679 --> 01:50:07,679
react?

2927
01:50:09,317 --> 01:50:09,684
It's like maybe 30 years later

2928
01:50:09,684 --> 01:50:10,117
will come?

2929
01:50:10,117 --> 01:50:10,985
I don't know.

2930
01:50:10,985 --> 01:50:12,530
Just depends on how much money

2931
01:50:12,530 --> 01:50:15,530
we can get from it.

2932
01:50:17,758 --> 01:50:18,426
>> Could you Andrea Evening If

2933
01:50:18,426 --> 01:50:20,828
you can please come forward

2934
01:50:20,828 --> 01:50:21,429
Your speaking times one 1257

2935
01:50:21,429 --> 01:50:23,829
and 58 You'll have three

2936
01:50:25,666 --> 01:50:27,666
minutes Please proceed.

2937
01:50:29,804 --> 01:50:34,400
Well thank you for one So I'm

2938
01:50:35,743 --> 01:50:38,743
5758 and what you put one 1257

2939
01:50:41,115 --> 01:50:42,490
and 58 Okay.

2940
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:45,649
Okay So yeah 112 I would just

2941
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:47,210
say physically just looking at

2942
01:50:47,210 --> 01:50:47,789
this again I'm asking you not

2943
01:50:47,789 --> 01:50:50,992
to look at me as the victim of

2944
01:50:50,992 --> 01:50:51,792
everything she just mentioned

2945
01:50:51,792 --> 01:50:52,660
because it's true but more of

2946
01:50:52,660 --> 01:50:55,530
an executive in San Diego who's

2947
01:50:55,530 --> 01:50:56,197
driven like $25,000,000.20 $4

2948
01:50:56,197 --> 01:50:59,197
million into the county city

2949
01:50:59,701 --> 01:51:00,368
through various efforts.

2950
01:51:00,368 --> 01:51:01,335
i brought Kanye West here.

2951
01:51:01,335 --> 01:51:04,472
I mean I've done a couple of

2952
01:51:04,472 --> 01:51:05,440
things and you know, I just

2953
01:51:05,440 --> 01:51:09,210
think that if we had a better

2954
01:51:09,210 --> 01:51:09,844
grip on what's going on from

2955
01:51:09,844 --> 01:51:12,844
the felony side of things,

2956
01:51:14,148 --> 01:51:14,849
the felony cases that are

2957
01:51:14,849 --> 01:51:15,550
coming out and even the county

2958
01:51:15,550 --> 01:51:18,550
cases that are misdemeanor, I

2959
01:51:19,487 --> 01:51:20,254
understand that I have issues

2960
01:51:20,254 --> 01:51:20,955
with them or stuff and I have

2961
01:51:20,955 --> 01:51:23,324
big issues with Summer Stephan

2962
01:51:23,324 --> 01:51:24,570
but everyone up here should as

2963
01:51:24,570 --> 01:51:27,570
well because everyone looks bad

2964
01:51:28,263 --> 01:51:29,630
when we create cases for people

2965
01:51:29,630 --> 01:51:32,663
that aren't real it costs so

2966
01:51:33,401 --> 01:51:33,701
much money and it's very unfair

2967
01:51:33,701 --> 01:51:34,369
.

2968
01:51:34,369 --> 01:51:36,769
It causes homelessness, it

2969
01:51:38,273 --> 01:51:38,673
causes gun violence, it causes

2970
01:51:38,673 --> 01:51:39,407
conflict.

2971
01:51:39,407 --> 01:51:42,811
So for example, what she was

2972
01:51:42,811 --> 01:51:43,511
just mentioning up there I got

2973
01:51:43,511 --> 01:51:44,212
a letter from the city

2974
01:51:44,212 --> 01:51:47,212
attorney's office after I was

2975
01:51:47,315 --> 01:51:48,830
beaten almost to death

2976
01:51:48,830 --> 01:51:48,783
literally as a survivor of a

2977
01:51:48,783 --> 01:51:51,183
ruptured aneurysm by Anthony

2978
01:51:52,654 --> 01:51:53,421
Warner.

2979
01:51:53,421 --> 01:51:54,540
And I got a letter from

2980
01:51:54,540 --> 01:51:54,622
the city attorney's office

2981
01:51:54,622 --> 01:51:55,290
which I was thrilled.

2982
01:51:55,290 --> 01:51:57,157
I thought, oh, maybe there's

2983
01:51:57,157 --> 01:51:58,226
like movement.

2984
01:51:58,226 --> 01:51:59,940
But it said that I was a victim

2985
01:51:59,940 --> 01:52:02,697
of a crime and the crime I was

2986
01:52:02,697 --> 01:52:03,364
a victim of with having my

2987
01:52:03,364 --> 01:52:05,764
beautiful new Tyquan stolen

2988
01:52:07,168 --> 01:52:07,869
from the place where I was

2989
01:52:07,869 --> 01:52:10,869
beaten to death almost because

2990
01:52:12,106 --> 01:52:12,641
after they did that to me 24

2991
01:52:12,641 --> 01:52:14,641
officers showed up.

2992
01:52:16,811 --> 01:52:17,545
They won't show up to any non

2993
01:52:17,545 --> 01:52:18,246
an emergency call Linda Vista

2994
01:52:18,246 --> 01:52:21,846
for hours days but they showed

2995
01:52:22,250 --> 01:52:22,950
up within seconds to watch but

2996
01:52:22,950 --> 01:52:25,987
nobody picked up my keys or

2997
01:52:25,987 --> 01:52:26,688
anything so to go get my car

2998
01:52:26,688 --> 01:52:27,355
$4,000 and then now the person

2999
01:52:27,355 --> 01:52:30,955
that took my keys which was

3000
01:52:31,426 --> 01:52:32,160
sitting next to the car who

3001
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:32,894
wouldn't Beautiful r-line black

3002
01:52:32,894 --> 01:52:35,294
rims, cinnamon leather interior

3003
01:52:36,300 --> 01:52:36,431
and you've got somebody who

3004
01:52:36,431 --> 01:52:37,132
he's a kid.

3005
01:52:37,132 --> 01:52:37,765
They're going to take the keys

3006
01:52:37,765 --> 01:52:39,768
and they're going to take

3007
01:52:39,768 --> 01:52:40,635
the car And they did.

3008
01:52:40,635 --> 01:52:44,606
But also you know and I know

3009
01:52:44,606 --> 01:52:48,206
I'm on 112 I think that this

3010
01:52:49,311 --> 01:52:50,110
shots fired program is good but

3011
01:52:50,110 --> 01:52:50,812
the root is that these people

3012
01:52:50,812 --> 01:52:54,412
are put in a bad position

3013
01:52:54,683 --> 01:52:55,450
That's generational.

3014
01:52:55,450 --> 01:52:56,151
Once you lose your home, once

3015
01:52:56,151 --> 01:52:56,817
you lose your rent, you missed

3016
01:52:56,817 --> 01:52:59,354
your rent for that month and

3017
01:52:59,354 --> 01:53:00,121
you were incarcerated.

3018
01:53:00,121 --> 01:53:00,789
It's a it's a ripple effect

3019
01:53:00,789 --> 01:53:03,189
because they couldn't pay

3020
01:53:04,659 --> 01:53:05,426
the lady.

3021
01:53:05,426 --> 01:53:09,260

Thank you.

3049
01:53:52,540 --> 01:53:54,776
I think I was the person

3050
01:53:54,776 --> 01:53:55,244
without the name on the card.

3051
01:53:55,244 --> 01:53:57,244
Thank you.

3052
01:53:58,800 --> 01:53:58,680
Yeah, and those are my numbers

3053
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:01,800
to first speak on.

3054
01:54:06,654 --> 01:54:10,854
Um, item Uh oh oh First speak

3055
01:54:11,926 --> 01:54:12,660
on item 61 the uh uh voting

3056
01:54:12,660 --> 01:54:13,162
bathroom restroom within one of

3057
01:54:13,162 --> 01:54:14,620
our lake systems.

3058
01:54:14,620 --> 01:54:17,166
It this is an item that comes

3059
01:54:17,166 --> 01:54:18,330
around every once in a while.

3060
01:54:18,330 --> 01:54:21,170
Um, it was cute I thought at

3061
01:54:21,170 --> 01:54:21,870
first and we're just kind of

3062
01:54:21,870 --> 01:54:22,538
mentioning it actually brings

3063
01:54:22,538 --> 01:54:22,937
out some sort of imagination

3064
01:54:22,937 --> 01:54:24,937
from staff.

3065
01:54:26,308 --> 01:54:26,975
They come up with other ideas

3066
01:54:26,975 --> 01:54:29,975
of restroom use and downtown

3067
01:54:30,879 --> 01:54:31,447
area actually previously but I

3068
01:54:31,447 --> 01:54:32,148
got a conversation on

3069
01:54:32,148 --> 01:54:35,748
the subject and it was spoken

3070
01:54:36,510 --> 01:54:36,785
here in public meeting time.

3071
01:54:36,785 --> 01:54:37,386
It's actually a bit uh

3072
01:54:37,386 --> 01:54:38,120
dangerous and polluted.

3073
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,889
It sounds like I'm a bit

3074
01:54:40,889 --> 01:54:41,657
concerned about it now.

3075
01:54:41,657 --> 01:54:42,157
I don't think it's really worth

3076
01:54:42,157 --> 01:54:42,824
it at this point.

3077
01:54:42,824 --> 01:54:46,270
I wanted to make my feelings

3078
01:54:46,270 --> 01:54:46,695
known on it but I still want to

3079
01:54:46,695 --> 01:54:47,363
be able to work on downtown

3080
01:54:47,363 --> 01:54:50,363
bathroom issues and then we

3081
01:54:50,633 --> 01:54:51,366
have that going on Uh that's uh

3082
01:54:51,366 --> 01:54:53,766
accessible downtown bathroom is

3083
01:54:55,203 --> 01:54:58,803
should always be a priority for

3084
01:55:00,109 --> 01:55:01,760
ourselves uh, on two items uh

3085
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:03,545
102 And it was related to me to

3086
01:55:03,545 --> 01:55:04,280
item 55 uh two issues and an

3087
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:06,680
agreement with parking citation

3088
01:55:08,116 --> 01:55:08,784
issues.

3089
01:55:08,784 --> 01:55:09,417
Good luck on practicing good

3090
01:55:09,417 --> 01:55:10,186
equity with these things.

3091
01:55:10,186 --> 01:55:13,489
I think we've we've done some

3092
01:55:13,489 --> 01:55:14,255
amazing good work on towing

3093
01:55:14,255 --> 01:55:17,855
equity issues Uh, I mean model

3094
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:18,894
examples So keep up that sort

3095
01:55:18,894 --> 01:55:19,395
of work and effort how we talk

3096
01:55:19,395 --> 01:55:21,395
about our equity.

3097
01:55:23,165 --> 01:55:23,933
Uh, I think issues with those

3098
01:55:23,933 --> 01:55:27,533
items uh, those type of items

3099
01:55:27,636 --> 01:55:28,336
it's important and that people

3100
01:55:28,336 --> 01:55:29,400
aren't overcharged and that we

3101
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:32,604
you guys have figured out a

3102
01:55:32,808 --> 01:55:33,750
good system for that and thank

3103
01:55:33,750 --> 01:55:33,442
you.

3104
01:55:33,442 --> 01:55:33,909
Continue.

3105
01:55:33,909 --> 01:55:35,909
That could work.

3106
01:55:37,746 --> 01:55:38,447
Um on to item 116 appointment

3107
01:55:38,447 --> 01:55:41,447
to mission Bay Park Committee

3108

3109
01:55:42,617 --> 01:55:42,985
mission Bay Park issues

3110
01:55:42,985 --> 01:55:44,985
yesterday.

Uh good luck on those Continue

3112
01:55:47,356 --> 01:55:50,356
efforts I talked about wildlife

3113
01:55:51,994 --> 01:55:52,661
trail technology policies that

3114
01:55:52,661 --> 01:55:53,329
can be really assessable and

3115
01:55:53,329 --> 01:55:55,729
understandable and can work

3116
01:55:56,599 --> 01:55:57,266
well.

3117
01:55:57,266 --> 01:55:57,633
Uh, Davis always has good

3118
01:55:57,633 --> 01:55:58,200
examples.

3119
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:01,200
I also need to mention

3120
01:56:02,337 --> 01:56:02,705
the concept of Biomet tech in

3121
01:56:02,705 --> 01:56:03,339
San Diego.

3122
01:56:03,339 --> 01:56:06,339
We keep saying it's sports

3123
01:56:06,709 --> 01:56:07,343
utility tech You keep using

3124
01:56:07,343 --> 01:56:10,343
that term as a euphemism.

3125
01:56:10,813 --> 01:56:11,481
Uh, I understand why I can go

3126
01:56:11,481 --> 01:56:11,881
into great detail why you're

3127
01:56:11,881 --> 01:56:13,881
doing that.

3128
01:56:15,384 --> 01:56:16,152
It's a bad practice.

3129
01:56:16,152 --> 01:56:16,818
We have to be clear We're

3130
01:56:16,818 --> 01:56:19,218
talking about biometric tech

3131
01:56:20,550 --> 01:56:20,389
and that shouldn't be a scary

3132
01:56:20,389 --> 01:56:21,124
concept.

3133
01:56:21,124 --> 01:56:21,957
It's around our lives a lot.

3134
01:56:21,957 --> 01:56:25,270
You guys are too afraid to

3135
01:56:25,270 --> 01:56:25,495
simply say those words publicly

3136
01:56:25,495 --> 01:56:26,162
when it's okay.

3137
01:56:26,162 --> 01:56:26,462
We know what you're talking

3138
01:56:26,462 --> 01:56:28,462
about.

3139
01:56:30,650 --> 01:56:30,800
Can you please speak the words?

3140
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:31,401

of good direct dialog and that

3163
01:57:07,203 --> 01:57:10,773

3166
01:57:15,678 --> 01:57:16,279
Thank you.

3167
01:57:16,279 --> 01:57:16,980
Regarding establishing

3168
01:57:16,980 --> 01:57:19,380
the third franchise Compliance

3169
01:57:20,283 --> 01:57:20,983
Review Committee for people who

3170
01:57:20,983 --> 01:57:21,651
MAY not understand this is

3171
01:57:21,651 --> 01:57:24,510
actually a committee that's

3172
01:57:25,255 --> 01:57:25,821
looking out for the rights of

3173
01:57:25,821 --> 01:57:26,456
San Diego ratepayers.

3174
01:57:26,456 --> 01:57:28,856
Our rights are frequently

3175
01:57:30,526 --> 01:57:31,294
overlooked in deliberations by

3176
01:57:31,294 --> 01:57:31,961
this Council and this is why we

3177
01:57:31,961 --> 01:57:34,961
pay the highest rates for

3178
01:57:35,365 --> 01:57:36,165
electricity in the country and

3179
01:57:36,165 --> 01:57:39,765
adding to the cost of living

3180
01:57:40,403 --> 01:57:40,703
challenges that many people

3181
01:57:40,703 --> 01:57:41,371
face.

3182
01:57:41,371 --> 01:57:43,771
So the Franchise Compliance

3183
01:57:44,807 --> 01:57:45,541
Review committee members

3184
01:57:45,541 --> 01:57:48,541
they're on their second report.

3185
01:57:49,913 --> 01:57:50,546
I hope the council is paying

3186
01:57:50,546 --> 01:57:51,247
attention to what they're

3187
01:57:51,247 --> 01:57:53,647
recommending families who have

3188
01:57:54,416 --> 01:57:55,850
been paying literally for

3189
01:57:55,850 --> 01:57:57,485
decades since this franchise

3190
01:57:59,188 --> 01:57:59,489
has gone on now for over 75

3191
01:57:59,489 --> 01:58:00,156
years.

3192
01:58:00,156 --> 01:58:03,156
Uh, they still don't have

3193
01:58:04,594 --> 01:58:05,228
undergrounding utility lines

3194
01:58:05,228 --> 01:58:05,695
overhead or they're still

3195
01:58:05,695 --> 01:58:07,695
overhead rather.

3196
01:58:08,898 --> 01:58:09,599
So I hope this compliance

3197
01:58:09,599 --> 01:58:10,266
review committee will put some

3198
01:58:10,266 --> 01:58:10,834
teeth into enforcing things

3199
01:58:10,834 --> 01:58:12,834
like undergrounding in

3200
01:58:14,437 --> 01:58:15,105
communities, older communities

3201
01:58:15,105 --> 01:58:15,772
that have paid for that for

3202
01:58:15,772 --> 01:58:18,772
decades and have nothing to

3203
01:58:19,541 --> 01:58:20,410
show for it.

3204
01:58:20,410 --> 01:58:21,111
Item as 503 in a state of

3205
01:58:21,111 --> 01:58:23,511
emergency regarding raw sewage

3206
01:58:23,746 --> 01:58:24,347
and sediment from Tijuana, I

3207
01:58:24,347 --> 01:58:26,747
remind this council that

3208
01:58:27,384 --> 01:58:28,510
the city of San Diego lobbied

3209
01:58:28,510 --> 01:58:28,652
extensively 30 years ago for

3210
01:58:28,652 --> 01:58:31,520
the construction of this

3211
01:58:32,555 --> 01:58:33,256
facility even while ignoring

3212
01:58:33,256 --> 01:58:35,656
your own staff's environmental

3213
01:58:37,526 --> 01:58:38,161
impact report stating that

3214
01:58:38,161 --> 01:58:38,829
the industrial waste were

3215
01:58:38,829 --> 01:58:41,229
unmitigated and would cause

3216
01:58:42,666 --> 01:58:43,333
toxicity problems in

3217
01:58:43,333 --> 01:58:44,000
the near-shore environment.

3218
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,170
And this is exactly what is

3219
01:58:47,170 --> 01:58:47,871
happening now 30 years of

3220
01:58:47,871 --> 01:58:50,871
filing this resolution is like

3221
01:58:52,375 --> 01:58:53,900
crying fire and doing nothing

3222
01:58:53,900 --> 01:58:53,844
to put out the flames.

3223
01:58:53,844 --> 01:58:57,460
I suggest the city or with

3224
01:58:57,460 --> 01:58:57,681
Tijuana to develop a source

3225
01:58:57,681 --> 01:59:00,810
control for the industrial

3226
01:59:01,451 --> 01:59:02,185
waste that is killing people in

3227
01:59:02,185 --> 01:59:04,585
the river valley, contaminating

3228
01:59:05,255 --> 01:59:05,856
the soil and causing health

3229
01:59:05,856 --> 01:59:06,490
problems with our first

3230
01:59:06,490 --> 01:59:07,900
responders, people who do

3231
01:59:07,900 --> 01:59:09,490
training down there and

3232
01:59:10,259 --> 01:59:10,993
the families that live near

3233
01:59:10,993 --> 01:59:13,993
the river and industrial Source

3234
01:59:14,631 --> 01:59:15,432
Control and free treatment plan

3235
01:59:15,432 --> 01:59:16,650
would go a long way to

3236
01:59:16,650 --> 01:59:18,465
protecting the health and

3237
01:59:19,969 --> 01:59:20,771
safety of San Diegans and

3238
01:59:20,771 --> 01:59:21,472
people who live in the area San

3239
01:59:21,472 --> 01:59:24,472
Isidro and elsewhere or people

3240
01:59:24,674 --> 01:59:25,141
who just visit the River Valley

3241
01:59:25,141 --> 01:59:27,141
for recreation.

3242
01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:30,379
That pollution was brought to

3243
01:59:30,379 --> 01:59:31,810
your attention decades ago and

3244
01:59:31,810 --> 01:59:34,810
this Council has continued to

3245
01:59:34,751 --> 01:59:35,385
ignore your culpable in

3246
01:59:35,385 --> 01:59:37,785
approving that project and

3247
01:59:39,556 --> 01:59:40,390
benefiting from it in many ways

3248
01:59:40,390 --> 01:59:40,924
And now it is poisoning people

3249
01:59:40,924 --> 01:59:43,324
in the river valley.

3250
01:59:44,528 --> 01:59:45,261
And finally I want to bring up

3251
01:59:45,261 --> 01:59:47,661
a $175,000 settlement that went

3252
01:59:49,166 --> 01:59:49,966
to a former city employee who

3253
01:59:49,966 --> 01:59:53,566
was riding a bicycle in Pacific

3254
01:59:53,737 --> 01:59:54,437
Beach and claims that

3255
01:59:54,437 --> 01:59:55,105
the street caused an accident

3256
01:59:55,105 --> 01:59:57,105
creating personal injuries,

3257
01:59:58,809 --> 01:59:59,543
extensive personal injuries.

3258
01:59:59,543 --> 02:00:02,543
Again, take a look at

3259
02:00:03,814 --> 02:00:04,581
the mobility issues facing

3260
02:00:04,581 --> 02:00:05,182
those of us who would prefer

3261
02:00:05,182 --> 02:00:05,849
not to be in our cars.

3262
02:00:05,849 --> 02:00:08,585
We'd rather be walking or

3263
02:00:08,585 --> 02:00:09,353
riding our bikes.

3264
02:00:09,353 --> 02:00:10,540
But when we put ourselves in

3265
02:00:10,540 --> 02:00:13,156
harm's way because of lack of

3266
02:00:13,156 --> 02:00:13,957
infrastructure and repairs,

3267
02:00:13,957 --> 02:00:14,357
it's costly not only to us but

3268
02:00:14,357 --> 02:00:14,725
to the city.

3269
02:00:14,725 --> 02:00:16,725
Thank you.

3270
02:00:18,896 --> 02:00:19,463
Thank you.

3271
02:00:19,463 --> 02:00:21,432
Next is Sally Small.

3272
02:00:21,432 --> 02:00:22,166
After that is Hector And then

3273
02:00:22,166 --> 02:00:22,866
7499 Follow me Please proceed

3274
02:00:22,866 --> 02:00:23,567
and let me know which item or

3275
02:00:23,567 --> 02:00:26,503
items you wish to speak to.

3276
02:00:26,503 --> 02:00:28,503
Sure.

3277
02:00:33,811 --> 02:00:34,511
58 6263 1091 12 and 503I don't

3278
02:00:34,511 --> 02:00:37,511
perceive that much time You'll

3279
02:00:37,914 --> 02:00:38,616
have three minutes starting off

3280
02:00:38,616 --> 02:00:41,160
with 58 I appreciate that

3281
02:00:42,553 --> 02:00:43,120
you're making the efforts to

3282
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:45,520
make things better for

3283
02:00:47,224 --> 02:00:47,657
the Brown Act and for public

3284
02:00:47,657 --> 02:00:48,259
participation.

3285
02:00:48,259 --> 02:00:51,562
But even if you look at

3286
02:00:51,562 --> 02:00:52,530
the basic cheat sheet that you

3287
02:00:52,530 --> 02:00:55,530
wrote, it lists cab as

3288
02:00:56,967 --> 02:00:57,701
the location for meetings.

3289
02:00:57,701 --> 02:00:58,402
The general public doesn't know

3290
02:00:58,402 --> 02:01:01,972
what cab is and there's no

3291
02:01:01,972 --> 02:01:02,573
address listed Looking at

3292
02:01:02,573 --> 02:01:04,573
the group presentations,

3293
02:01:06,676 --> 02:01:07,445
there's no address listed.

3294
02:01:07,445 --> 02:01:11,450
Oops So please get off that

3295
02:01:11,782 --> 02:01:12,382
asap if you want participation

3296
02:01:12,382 --> 02:01:13,830
The seat at the table is

3297
02:01:13,830 --> 02:01:16,830
something that you guys still

3298
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:17,722
need to consider that

3299
02:01:17,722 --> 02:01:20,122
the community planning groups

3300
02:01:21,324 --> 02:01:21,926
put out all the effort but they

3301
02:01:21,926 --> 02:01:22,593
don't even get money for

3302
02:01:22,593 --> 02:01:25,593
appeals anymore and now it's

3303
02:01:26,364 --> 02:01:26,997
only the cpc and that time is

3304
02:01:26,997 --> 02:01:29,397
limited but developers get

3305
02:01:31,350 --> 02:01:31,736
their free rein.

3306
02:01:31,736 --> 02:01:32,503
62 Stormwater Loans Thank you

3307
02:01:32,503 --> 02:01:35,503
very much for choice Green

3308
02:01:35,606 --> 02:01:38,600
infrastructure and the storm

3309
02:01:39,876 --> 02:01:42,276
drain improvements 63 The text

3310
02:01:43,547 --> 02:01:44,148
makes me nervous 109 With no

3311
02:01:44,148 --> 02:01:44,882
shots fired I believe in

3312
02:01:44,882 --> 02:01:47,882
the program doing the mentoring

3313
02:01:48,520 --> 02:01:48,553
and prevention in the first

3314
02:01:48,553 --> 02:01:49,320
place is awesome.

3315
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:52,923
They need to be able to reduce

3316
02:01:52,923 --> 02:01:53,891
violence in our neighborhoods

3317
02:01:53,891 --> 02:01:56,891
1/12 the same Just keep track

3318
02:01:57,929 --> 02:01:58,896
the money.

3319
02:01:58,896 --> 02:02:02,496
I am worried because in my

3320
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:03,300
neighborhood Emerald Hills,

3321
02:02:03,300 --> 02:02:06,300
Lincoln Park, Valencia Park we

3322
02:02:07,805 --> 02:02:08,506
have organized actions that are

3323
02:02:08,506 --> 02:02:11,506
helping people after the fact

3324
02:02:11,976 --> 02:02:12,676
but we need more doing

3325
02:02:12,676 --> 02:02:14,676
prevention and mentoring

3326
02:02:16,947 --> 02:02:19,947
locally as 503 with the Tier

3327
02:02:20,418 --> 02:02:21,219
one So which I agree 30 years

3328
02:02:21,219 --> 02:02:21,986
is way too long to figure out

3329
02:02:21,986 --> 02:02:24,986
an answer and I know

3330
02:02:25,589 --> 02:02:26,457
the Federal is slower than

3331
02:02:26,457 --> 02:02:30,570
molasses but you guys are too

3332
02:02:30,695 --> 02:02:30,995
So please please get that in

3333
02:02:30,995 --> 02:02:32,995
gear.

3334
02:02:35,660 --> 02:02:35,766
We need to have the health and

3335
02:02:35,766 --> 02:02:39,366
safety the people that live in

3336
02:02:39,536 --> 02:02:40,237
the in the South Bay to have

3337
02:02:40,237 --> 02:02:43,837
what they need to function as

3338
02:02:44,776 --> 02:02:45,476
normal people and having to

3339
02:02:45,476 --> 02:02:46,210
smell that is nasty And things

3340
02:02:46,210 --> 02:02:49,810
could have been done a long

3341
02:02:50,810 --> 02:02:50,948
long time ago.

3342
02:02:50,948 --> 02:02:51,282
Sorry my cats yelling at me I

3343
02:02:51,282 --> 02:02:53,282

please unmute and let me know

3347
02:02:58,956 --> 02:03:02,426

speak to after that is 7499

3349
02:03:03,127 --> 02:03:03,727
The five minute timer has also

3350
02:03:03,727 --> 02:03:04,296
concluded there are four

3351
02:03:04,296 --> 02:03:04,996
speakers in the queue.

3352
02:03:04,996 --> 02:03:07,498
No additional speakers will be

3353
02:03:07,498 --> 02:03:08,650
taken.

3354
02:03:08,650 --> 02:03:08,700
Hector please proceed.

3355
02:03:08,700 --> 02:03:11,700
Thanks for taking my call.

3356
02:03:12,570 --> 02:03:13,338
I got a better internet

3357
02:03:13,338 --> 02:03:16,338
connection now the other one

3358
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:20,712
dropped off 112 503 and 51 Now

3359
02:03:20,712 --> 02:03:21,446
the 112 I congratulate

3360
02:03:21,446 --> 02:03:24,446
the brothers math They know

3361
02:03:25,382 --> 02:03:25,750
the difference between right

3362
02:03:25,750 --> 02:03:26,383
and wrong.

3363
02:03:26,383 --> 02:03:26,985
There's right and wrong in

3364
02:03:26,985 --> 02:03:29,985
the world and they're on

3365
02:03:30,288 --> 02:03:30,888
the right side.

3366
02:03:30,888 --> 02:03:31,556
They've probably tasted

3367
02:03:31,556 --> 02:03:34,658
the grace of GOD at one time

3368
02:03:34,658 --> 02:03:35,260
they were on the wrong

3369
02:03:35,260 --> 02:03:35,726
direction.

3370
02:03:35,726 --> 02:03:38,726
We should support these guys.

3371
02:03:39,164 --> 02:03:40,970
They got it.

3372
02:03:40,970 --> 02:03:40,365
Whatever We can do a way to do

3373
02:03:40,365 --> 02:03:42,365
it.

3374
02:03:43,901 --> 02:03:44,269
That other guy wants to tax

3375
02:03:44,269 --> 02:03:44,936
the rich.

3376
02:03:44,936 --> 02:03:47,936
Let's start taxing the rich.

3377
02:03:49,206 --> 02:03:49,641
How about Scott Peters our

3378
02:03:49,641 --> 02:03:50,308
councilperson?

3379
02:03:50,308 --> 02:03:52,708
He's about $600 million And

3380
02:03:54,178 --> 02:03:54,578
Sarah Jacobs she's worth like

3381
02:03:54,578 --> 02:03:56,578
$60 Million.

3382
02:03:59,550 --> 02:04:00,252
Let's put a tax on those guys 3

3383
02:04:00,252 --> 02:04:03,187
million apiece until the money

3384
02:04:03,187 --> 02:04:03,488
runs out a year ago just a year

3385
02:04:03,488 --> 02:04:04,188
.

3386
02:04:04,188 --> 02:04:07,188
Sarah is is the granddaughter

3387
02:04:08,226 --> 02:04:08,994
of Jacobs is a billionaire So

3388
02:04:08,994 --> 02:04:12,594
don't be taxing him because he

3389
02:04:12,697 --> 02:04:13,310
might split with all the money

3390
02:04:13,310 --> 02:04:15,310
anyway.

3391
02:04:19,871 --> 02:04:20,639
What's wrong with black guys?

3392
02:04:20,639 --> 02:04:21,106
You're doing a great job, man.

3393
02:04:21,106 --> 02:04:21,573
It's dangerous.

3394
02:04:21,573 --> 02:04:23,573
It's crazy work.

3395
02:04:25,543 --> 02:04:26,110
You want to Riverton and on

3396
02:04:26,110 --> 02:04:26,577
the t your the Bible.

3397
02:04:26,577 --> 02:04:27,479
Three, two, one.

3398
02:04:27,479 --> 02:04:28,246
River.

3399
02:04:28,246 --> 02:04:31,846
Let's take some of that money

3400
02:04:34,853 --> 02:04:35,554
from taxing the rich and turn

3401
02:04:35,554 --> 02:04:36,287
the t along to open sewer line

3402
02:04:36,287 --> 02:04:39,287
Whole thing Sewer lines not

3403
02:04:39,423 --> 02:04:42,930
turn 40 And do you see dro bay

3404
02:04:42,930 --> 02:04:42,860
Pirate Bay Park like this in

3405
02:04:42,860 --> 02:04:43,562
Bay Park put mission Bay Park

3406
02:04:43,562 --> 02:04:46,865
right down there on the river

3407
02:04:46,865 --> 02:04:47,833
say put a huge channel in

3408
02:04:47,833 --> 02:04:52,571
the ocean and put a big wall up

3409
02:04:52,571 --> 02:04:56,171
there and top the line sewer

3410
02:04:57,750 --> 02:04:57,809
system Turn that water into

3411
02:04:57,809 --> 02:05:01,409
drinking water, take the lot of

3412
02:05:02,948 --> 02:05:03,849
recycled water out of it and

3413
02:05:03,849 --> 02:05:04,249
start doing hemp for us will

3414
02:05:04,249 --> 02:05:04,816
start grow.

3415
02:05:04,816 --> 02:05:06,718
This is a good idea.

3416
02:05:06,718 --> 02:05:07,252
We're going to grow marijuana

3417
02:05:07,252 --> 02:05:07,986
Hemp plant which was

3418
02:05:07,986 --> 02:05:10,386
the Declaration of Independence

3419
02:05:11,556 --> 02:05:12,190
was written on hemp and you

3420
02:05:12,190 --> 02:05:15,190
know the history of paper.

3421
02:05:16,662 --> 02:05:17,329
The other guys with the trees

3422
02:05:17,329 --> 02:05:20,929
took it over will have hemp

3423
02:05:21,966 --> 02:05:22,834
down there That'll be jobs will

3424
02:05:22,834 --> 02:05:26,337
have you should be coding ramps

3425
02:05:26,337 --> 02:05:29,937
the whole deal will turn lemons

3426
02:05:31,810 --> 02:05:32,444
into lemonade and that be

3427
02:05:32,444 --> 02:05:33,245
something to be proud of.

3428
02:05:33,245 --> 02:05:36,648
Yeah and then let's see some of

3429
02:05:36,648 --> 02:05:37,349
these numbers But one thing

3430
02:05:37,349 --> 02:05:40,349
what the problem is we're

3431
02:05:41,786 --> 02:05:42,488
Gloria Bill 2.0 been man Bill

3432
02:05:42,488 --> 02:05:45,488
and said Gloria Bill we're

3433
02:05:45,623 --> 02:05:46,391
living in Gloria Bill this is

3434
02:05:46,391 --> 02:05:48,791
Gloria Bill 2.0 He's cutting

3435
02:05:51,696 --> 02:05:52,531
funding even in that Christmas

3436
02:05:52,531 --> 02:05:55,990
saving a double park That's an

3437
02:05:55,990 --> 02:05:57,990
abomination.

3438
02:06:00,105 --> 02:06:00,806
And then oh yeah, I actually

3439
02:06:00,806 --> 02:06:01,473
talked to Bill Clinton a bill

3440
02:06:01,473 --> 02:06:04,473
and thanked them for calling

3441
02:06:06,745 --> 02:06:07,479
Gloria Bill that's when

3442
02:06:07,479 --> 02:06:07,913
the bubble parks don't clean up

3443
02:06:07,913 --> 02:06:09,913
the homeless.

3444
02:06:10,482 --> 02:06:11,183
I was down there last week.

3445
02:06:11,183 --> 02:06:11,850
There's more homeless guys in

3446
02:06:11,850 --> 02:06:14,850
Balboa Park now The regular

3447
02:06:16,188 --> 02:06:16,889
homeless and the aggressive

3448
02:06:16,889 --> 02:06:17,156
homeless that kind of beg to

3449
02:06:17,156 --> 02:06:19,156
you.

3450
02:06:20,225 --> 02:06:20,993
i was there at 5:00, walked in

3451
02:06:20,993 --> 02:06:21,259
from Presidio to bus station at

3452
02:06:21,259 --> 02:06:23,259
120.

3453
02:06:25,531 --> 02:06:26,398
There's more time has concluded

3454
02:06:26,398 --> 02:06:27,299
next to 7499 after that is Judy

3455
02:06:27,299 --> 02:06:30,899
Strong And our last speaker is

3456
02:06:31,336 --> 02:06:32,138
Madison 7499 please I'm you and

3457
02:06:32,138 --> 02:06:35,241
let me know which item or items

3458
02:06:35,241 --> 02:06:36,410
you wish to speak to Like to

3459
02:06:36,410 --> 02:06:37,676
speak on all the items but I'll

3460
02:06:37,676 --> 02:06:40,676
be brief of three minutes.

3461
02:06:43,581 --> 02:06:44,350
>> Please proceed.

3462
02:06:44,350 --> 02:06:45,116
Bob Kozinski here First if you

3463
02:06:45,116 --> 02:06:48,254
look at the agenda for most of

3464
02:06:48,254 --> 02:06:48,921
these items you'll see

3465
02:06:48,921 --> 02:06:49,622
virtually no substance about

3466
02:06:49,622 --> 02:06:52,858
the item to let citizens know

3467
02:06:52,858 --> 02:06:53,626
what it's about.

3468
02:06:53,626 --> 02:06:56,929
There's a link for more detail

3469
02:06:56,929 --> 02:06:57,730
but today's agenda for example

3470
02:06:57,730 --> 02:06:58,597
contains 47 items That's a lot

3471
02:06:58,597 --> 02:07:02,601
of links to check just to see

3472
02:07:02,601 --> 02:07:03,301
what's actually on the agenda

3473
02:07:03,301 --> 02:07:03,969
and therefore asking the city

3474
02:07:03,969 --> 02:07:07,569
clerk to please put at least

3475
02:07:08,730 --> 02:07:08,507
some substance into these

3476
02:07:08,507 --> 02:07:08,874
descriptions.

3477
02:07:08,874 --> 02:07:09,575
Thank you.

3478
02:07:09,575 --> 02:07:12,677
Second, I noticed that many of

3479
02:07:12,677 --> 02:07:13,546
these items are contracts.

3480
02:07:13,546 --> 02:07:14,213
As you all know from my many

3481
02:07:14,213 --> 02:07:17,213
comments on the lack of

3482
02:07:17,750 --> 02:07:18,451
oversight at Torrey Pines,

3483
02:07:18,451 --> 02:07:22,510
the city has a terrible track

3484
02:07:22,855 --> 02:07:23,155
record of overseeing contracts

3485
02:07:23,155 --> 02:07:23,923
.

3486
02:07:23,923 --> 02:07:24,622
I urge this Council to ensure

3487
02:07:24,622 --> 02:07:27,622
that all of these contracts

3488
02:07:27,826 --> 02:07:28,194
contain provisions for proper

3489
02:07:28,194 --> 02:07:28,827
oversight.

3490
02:07:28,827 --> 02:07:29,395
Third, I'd like to commend

3491
02:07:29,395 --> 02:07:31,795
the city for continued

3492
02:07:33,666 --> 02:07:34,660
appointments to boards and

3493
02:07:34,660 --> 02:07:34,767
committees.

3494
02:07:34,767 --> 02:07:37,767
These bodies provide the city

3495
02:07:38,537 --> 02:07:39,138
with valuable expertise that

3496
02:07:39,138 --> 02:07:39,838
the city does not have.

3497
02:07:39,838 --> 02:07:43,438
If you read the city charter

3498
02:07:44,143 --> 02:07:44,910
you'll find that's the purpose

3499
02:07:44,910 --> 02:07:45,578
of these boards and committees.

3500
02:07:45,578 --> 02:07:46,245
That's exactly why the city

3501
02:07:46,245 --> 02:07:48,645
Council needs to reactivate

3502
02:07:49,150 --> 02:07:49,648
the Torrey Pines City Park

3503
02:07:49,648 --> 02:07:50,382
Advisory Board which is an

3504
02:07:50,382 --> 02:07:53,982
obvious area where the city has

3505
02:07:54,553 --> 02:07:55,221
no actual expertise.

3506
02:07:55,221 --> 02:07:55,921
Fourth, despite all your

3507
02:07:55,921 --> 02:07:58,921
flowery words, it's clear that

3508
02:08:00,458 --> 02:08:01,160
this council does not respect

3509
02:08:01,160 --> 02:08:01,894
the wisdom that seniors bring

3510
02:08:01,894 --> 02:08:04,894
to these council chambers every

3511
02:08:05,965 --> 02:08:06,465
single week Actions speak

3512
02:08:06,465 --> 02:08:06,866
louder than words.

3513
02:08:06,866 --> 02:08:08,866
Joe LaCava.

3514
02:08:09,235 --> 02:08:09,936
Finally, congratulations to

3515
02:08:09,936 --> 02:08:10,636
the City Clerk one day who has

3516
02:08:10,636 --> 02:08:11,437
kindly given me so much of her

3517
02:08:11,437 --> 02:08:14,373
time on a number of recent

3518
02:08:14,373 --> 02:08:15,140
issues.

3519
02:08:15,140 --> 02:08:15,540
>> That concludes my remarks on

3520
02:08:15,540 --> 02:08:15,908
the agenda.

3521
02:08:15,908 --> 02:08:16,275
Thank you.

3522
02:08:16,275 --> 02:08:16,809
Thank you.

3523
02:08:16,809 --> 02:08:19,209
Next is Judy Strang.

3524
02:08:22,482 --> 02:08:23,282
If you can please unmute please

3525
02:08:23,282 --> 02:08:23,849
let me know which item or item

3526
02:08:23,849 --> 02:08:26,849
you wish to speak to.

3527
02:08:28,287 --> 02:08:28,921
>> I'd like to speak to item 58

3528
02:08:28,921 --> 02:08:29,355
regarding sb seven seven.

3529
02:08:29,355 --> 02:08:31,355
>> Thank you.

3530
02:08:31,991 --> 02:08:32,525
You'll have one minute.

3531
02:08:32,525 --> 02:08:32,892
>> Please proceed.

3532
02:08:32,892 --> 02:08:33,826
You bet.

3533
02:08:33,826 --> 02:08:38,260
Thank you for the time that we

3534
02:08:38,197 --> 02:08:38,898
all many of you have put into

3535
02:08:38,898 --> 02:08:41,898
making this come to fruition.

3536
02:08:42,368 --> 02:08:43,200
Those of us who watch as we

3537
02:08:43,200 --> 02:08:43,736
seven and seven go through

3538
02:08:43,736 --> 02:08:46,136
the legislature, we're thrilled

3539
02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:48,540
to see that We're now seeing it

3540
02:08:48,540 --> 02:08:48,908
put into place in our city

3541
02:08:48,908 --> 02:08:50,908
councils.

3542
02:08:53,646 --> 02:08:54,446
I'm particularly pleased that

3543
02:08:54,446 --> 02:08:56,846
we've kept in effect

3544
02:08:58,718 --> 02:09:01,718
the opportunity for non agenda

3545
02:09:03,223 --> 02:09:03,923
public comment and that the 16

3546
02:09:03,923 --> 02:09:04,623
minute limitation for subject

3547
02:09:04,623 --> 02:09:07,230
matter applies separately for

3548
02:09:08,860 --> 02:09:09,629
in-person and separately For

3549
02:09:09,629 --> 02:09:10,330
those of us who are at work

3550
02:09:10,330 --> 02:09:10,596
during the day we have to call

3551
02:09:10,596 --> 02:09:12,596
in.

3552
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:14,301
We really appreciate that if we

3553
02:09:14,301 --> 02:09:15,100
make the effort and it just so

3554
02:09:15,100 --> 02:09:15,702
happens that we're speakers on

3555
02:09:15,702 --> 02:09:19,302
your item you still have that

3556
02:09:19,305 --> 02:09:19,638
chance as part of the Zoom

3557
02:09:19,638 --> 02:09:20,306
meeting.

3558
02:09:20,306 --> 02:09:20,673
>> It's a good step forward.

3559
02:09:20,673 --> 02:09:22,673
Thank you.

3560
02:09:24,911 --> 02:09:25,678
Thank you.

3561
02:09:25,678 --> 02:09:26,120
And our final speaker is

3562
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:26,679
Madison.

3563
02:09:26,679 --> 02:09:27,379
If you can please unmute and

3564
02:09:27,379 --> 02:09:29,249
let me know which item or item

3565
02:09:29,249 --> 02:09:29,916
to speak to.

3566
02:09:29,916 --> 02:09:30,550
>> Yes, thank you.

3567
02:09:30,550 --> 02:09:32,550
Item 58 Please proceed.

3568
02:09:35,121 --> 02:09:35,788
So I also wanted to say thank

3569
02:09:35,788 --> 02:09:36,389
you for continuing to allow

3570
02:09:36,389 --> 02:09:37,560
the five minute timer at

3571
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:40,560
the beginning of Zoom public

3572
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:41,761
comment for speakers to raise

3573
02:09:41,761 --> 02:09:43,929
their hand as the city updates

3574
02:09:43,929 --> 02:09:44,698
the rules of council to comply

3575
02:09:44,698 --> 02:09:45,441
with sb seven and seven and

3576
02:09:45,441 --> 02:09:48,441
ensure equal access for virtual

3577
02:09:49,735 --> 02:09:50,503
and in-person participants.

3578
02:09:50,503 --> 02:09:51,710
>> I think this is exactly

3579
02:09:51,710 --> 02:09:51,771
the kind of practical

3580
02:09:51,771 --> 02:09:52,472
accommodation that helps make

3581
02:09:52,472 --> 02:09:54,472
remote participation genuinely

3582
02:09:55,508 --> 02:09:56,276
workable.

3583
02:09:56,276 --> 02:09:56,976
That extra window MAY seem

3584
02:09:56,976 --> 02:09:57,678
small administratively but for

3585
02:09:57,678 --> 02:10:01,247
many members of the public it

3586
02:10:01,247 --> 02:10:01,648
makes participation much more

3587
02:10:01,648 --> 02:10:02,315
accessible.

3588
02:10:02,315 --> 02:10:02,982
People joining remotely are

3589
02:10:02,982 --> 02:10:05,382
often balancing work family

3590
02:10:07,454 --> 02:10:08,870
responsibility, technology

3591
02:10:08,870 --> 02:10:08,821
delays or simply trying to

3592
02:10:08,821 --> 02:10:12,359
follow when their item is being

3593
02:10:12,359 --> 02:10:13,159
called And those few minutes

3594
02:10:13,159 --> 02:10:13,793
help ensure they do not MISS

3595
02:10:13,793 --> 02:10:14,427
The opportunity to speak.

3596
02:10:14,427 --> 02:10:16,827
It also supports fairness

3597
02:10:18,198 --> 02:10:18,832
because it gives people a

3598
02:10:18,832 --> 02:10:19,499
reasonable chance to enter

3599
02:10:19,499 --> 02:10:20,200
the queue rather than losing

3600
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:23,200
their opportunity because of a

3601
02:10:23,870 --> 02:10:24,537
short delay or technical issue

3602
02:10:24,537 --> 02:10:25,205
especially as the city works

3603
02:10:25,205 --> 02:10:25,939
through the operational and

3604
02:10:25,939 --> 02:10:27,939
technology challenges discussed

3605
02:10:29,442 --> 02:10:30,210
in this item.

3606
02:10:30,210 --> 02:10:30,576
>> So thank you for that.

3607
02:10:30,576 --> 02:10:31,277
Thank you.

3608
02:10:31,277 --> 02:10:31,845
That concludes with a comment

3609
02:10:31,845 --> 02:10:34,245
on the consent agenda.

3610
02:10:35,181 --> 02:10:35,781
All right.

3611
02:10:35,781 --> 02:10:36,516
Thank you, City Clerk.

3612
02:10:36,516 --> 02:10:40,116
And before we go to my

3617
02:10:46,693 --> 02:10:47,394
glitch during a meeting

3618
02:10:47,394 --> 02:10:49,794

Wilbert.

3636
02:11:29,269 --> 02:11:30,360
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

3637
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:30,737
And I'm happy to make a motion

3638
02:11:30,737 --> 02:11:33,737
to approve the consent agenda.

3639
02:11:34,108 --> 02:11:34,841
I want to start with item one

3640
02:11:34,841 --> 02:11:35,742
for a no shots fired program.

3641
02:11:35,742 --> 02:11:39,342
Thank you to Bishop Bowzer and

3642
02:11:39,613 --> 02:11:40,800
all of your team and everyone

3643
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:40,747
for being here.

3644
02:11:40,747 --> 02:11:41,414
Thank you to South Lake in

3645
02:11:41,414 --> 02:11:44,414
these services for the work

3646
02:11:44,551 --> 02:11:45,285
you're doing as well and to

3647
02:11:45,285 --> 02:11:45,986
your police department for your

3648
02:11:45,986 --> 02:11:48,986
partnership with I've had some

3649
02:11:49,890 --> 02:11:50,724
incredible work.

3650
02:11:50,724 --> 02:11:51,391
i want to be abundantly clear

3651
02:11:51,391 --> 02:11:54,991
that gun violence is still a

3652
02:11:56,130 --> 02:11:56,830
challenge we are all facing in

3653
02:11:56,830 --> 02:11:57,531
our communities and we cannot

3654
02:11:57,531 --> 02:12:00,531
reduce gun violence overall if

3655
02:12:01,468 --> 02:12:01,802
we only act to reactive matters

3656
02:12:01,802 --> 02:12:02,502
.

3657
02:12:02,502 --> 02:12:02,803
We have to be proactive as

3658
02:12:02,803 --> 02:12:03,536
well.

3659
02:12:03,536 --> 02:12:04,237
And so I just want to thank all

3660
02:12:04,237 --> 02:12:04,671
of you for your continued work

3661
02:12:04,671 --> 02:12:06,671
with the city.

3662
02:12:07,340 --> 02:12:08,410
You know, since I've been here

3663
02:12:08,410 --> 02:12:08,709
on this Dyess for six years

3664
02:12:08,709 --> 02:12:09,243
we've had great partnership

3665
02:12:09,243 --> 02:12:11,643
with no shots fired.

3666
02:12:13,480 --> 02:12:14,810
Not only are you intervening

3667
02:12:14,810 --> 02:12:14,782
when violence happens to

3668
02:12:14,782 --> 02:12:17,182
prevent more violence, you're

3669
02:12:18,485 --> 02:12:19,190
also remembering how to care

3670
02:12:19,190 --> 02:12:19,753
for your victims.

3671
02:12:19,753 --> 02:12:20,454
You know you're with us every

3672
02:12:20,454 --> 02:12:24,325
time we we have the summer of

3673
02:12:24,325 --> 02:12:24,892
peace or we have the annual gun

3674
02:12:24,892 --> 02:12:25,592
violence remembrance.

3675
02:12:25,592 --> 02:12:29,463
And so thank you for your work

3676
02:12:29,463 --> 02:12:30,197
also into helping victims of

3677
02:12:30,197 --> 02:12:30,898
domestic violence because often

3678
02:12:30,898 --> 02:12:31,631
gun violence can come so often

3679
02:12:31,631 --> 02:12:34,310
in domestic violence situations

3680
02:12:35,569 --> 02:12:35,870
And and Alvin, I'm glad you're

3681
02:12:35,870 --> 02:12:36,470
okay.

3682
02:12:36,470 --> 02:12:37,710
I'm sorry that you also

3683
02:12:37,710 --> 02:12:37,671
suffered gun violence in

3684
02:12:37,671 --> 02:12:40,671
the midst of your work.

3685
02:12:40,975 --> 02:12:41,609
But we just appreciate you and

3686
02:12:41,609 --> 02:12:42,309
his partner for the city.

3687
02:12:42,309 --> 02:12:43,430
And so on behalf of the Public

3688
02:12:43,430 --> 02:12:46,430
Safety Committee, we're glad to

3689
02:12:46,780 --> 02:12:47,515
have you any time you give a

3690
02:12:47,515 --> 02:12:47,815
great presentation last time as

3691
02:12:47,815 --> 02:12:48,482
well.

3692
02:12:48,482 --> 02:12:52,119
And I want to thank the new

3693
02:12:52,119 --> 02:12:52,987
Shots fired program for working

3694
02:12:52,987 --> 02:12:56,490
hand in hand as part of our

3695
02:12:56,490 --> 02:12:57,910
public safety team And item 112

3696
02:12:57,910 --> 02:12:57,725
excepting California Gun

3697
02:12:57,725 --> 02:12:58,459

3698
02:12:58,459 --> 02:13:00,859
Prevention grant cohort funding

3699
02:13:02,629 --> 02:13:03,364
for our Peacemaker Project.

3700
02:13:03,364 --> 02:13:04,980
i'm very much in support of

3701
02:13:04,980 --> 02:13:04,664
this item because once again it

3702
02:13:04,664 --> 02:13:05,232
represents a proactive

3703
02:13:05,232 --> 02:13:07,232
investment in violence

3704
02:13:07,735 --> 02:13:08,368
prevention rather than simply

3705
02:13:08,368 --> 02:13:08,969
intervening after violence

3706
02:13:08,969 --> 02:13:09,670
occurred, the Peacemaker

3707
02:13:09,670 --> 02:13:12,700
Project focused on addressing

3708
02:13:13,407 --> 02:13:14,750
the root causes of violence by

3709
02:13:14,750 --> 02:13:14,775
connecting at risk youth and

3710
02:13:14,775 --> 02:13:15,376
family with mentorship mental

3711
02:13:15,376 --> 02:13:17,376
health care, education,

3712
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:19,880
workforce opportunities and

3713
02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:20,614
community support before

3714
02:13:20,614 --> 02:13:23,140
situations escalate to tragedy.

3715
02:13:26,200 --> 02:13:26,654
And finally on items 502I would

3716
02:13:26,654 --> 02:13:27,387
like to make some comments

3717
02:13:27,387 --> 02:13:30,987
about and aspire to during last

3718
02:13:30,992 --> 02:13:31,725
year's budget review process we

3719
02:13:31,725 --> 02:13:32,326
had a lot of discussions about

3720
02:13:32,326 --> 02:13:34,326
our reservoir recreation

3721
02:13:37,164 --> 02:13:37,898
program you know Lake Miramar

3722
02:13:37,898 --> 02:13:38,566
Lake, Murray Lake Hodges all of

3723
02:13:38,566 --> 02:13:38,865
these are not in fact actual

3724
02:13:38,865 --> 02:13:40,865
lakes.

3725
02:13:42,736 --> 02:13:43,437
They are reservoirs, They're

3726
02:13:43,437 --> 02:13:44,138
drinking water reservoirs and

3727
02:13:44,138 --> 02:13:47,738
they have become such a public

3728
02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:49,743
part of our such a fabric of

3729
02:13:49,743 --> 02:13:50,311
our public institutions that

3730
02:13:50,311 --> 02:13:51,110
people do use them for

3731
02:13:51,110 --> 02:13:53,411
recreation which is wonderful.

3732
02:13:54,749 --> 02:13:55,516
At the same time it is very

3733
02:13:55,516 --> 02:13:56,830
hard to maintain some of these

3734
02:13:56,830 --> 02:13:56,783
reservoirs as a public

3735
02:13:56,783 --> 02:13:59,183
accommodations when we really

3736
02:14:00,888 --> 02:14:01,222
have to focus on the water

3737
02:14:01,222 --> 02:14:02,230
quality.

3738
02:14:02,230 --> 02:14:04,992
So I was very happy to see that

3739
02:14:04,992 --> 02:14:05,526
this year's budget we have

3740
02:14:05,526 --> 02:14:06,260
received a $600,000

3741
02:14:06,260 --> 02:14:06,827
contribution from the county an

3742
02:14:06,827 --> 02:14:09,827
effort that was led by

3743
02:14:10,631 --> 02:14:11,232
supervisor Joel Anderson around

3744
02:14:11,232 --> 02:14:11,966
with a 1.4 million local

3745
02:14:11,966 --> 02:14:14,366
assistance grant funding coming

3746
02:14:16,270 --> 02:14:16,871
from Senator Brian Jones all

3747
02:14:16,871 --> 02:14:19,271
going towards keeping El

3748
02:14:21,942 --> 02:14:22,342
Capitan Reservoir access open

3749
02:14:22,342 --> 02:14:23,111
all summer.

3750
02:14:23,111 --> 02:14:23,777
So I want to thank the senator.

3751
02:14:23,777 --> 02:14:24,479
I want to thank Supervisor

3752
02:14:24,479 --> 02:14:27,479
Anderson as well for their

3753
02:14:28,349 --> 02:14:29,830
partnership And I really want

3754
02:14:29,830 --> 02:14:29,484
to thank the friends of the San

3755
02:14:29,484 --> 02:14:30,118
Diego Lakes.

3756
02:14:30,118 --> 02:14:30,785
They have done a great job

3757
02:14:30,785 --> 02:14:33,185
advocating for the Reservoir

3758
02:14:34,789 --> 02:14:35,356
recreation program and I thank

3759
02:14:35,356 --> 02:14:35,923
them for pushing these

3760
02:14:35,923 --> 02:14:36,557
collaborations across

3761
02:14:36,557 --> 02:14:37,258
the finish line because we

3762
02:14:37,258 --> 02:14:40,258
should all be working together

3763
02:14:41,429 --> 02:14:41,796
for these valuable community

3764
02:14:41,796 --> 02:14:42,496
resources.

3765
02:14:42,496 --> 02:14:42,863
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

3766
02:14:42,863 --> 02:14:43,331
All right.

3767
02:14:43,331 --> 02:14:43,965
Thank you, sir.

3768
02:14:43,965 --> 02:14:46,100
We have most of my council

3769
02:14:46,100 --> 02:14:46,734
members all over It will go

3770
02:14:46,734 --> 02:14:47,101
next to council member

3771
02:14:47,101 --> 02:14:47,669
Campbell.

3772
02:14:47,669 --> 02:14:48,202
>> I'm happy to second

3773
02:14:48,202 --> 02:14:48,569

02:14:48,569 --> 02:14:50,569
Thank you.

3775
02:14:52,674 --> 02:14:53,274
All right.

for everything that you do.

3782
02:15:04,385 --> 02:15:07,385
This is something that I

3783
02:15:09,220 --> 02:15:09,791
believe started in 2022 I

3784
02:15:09,791 --> 02:15:12,791
believe or thereabouts where my

3785
02:15:14,963 --> 02:15:15,596

3786
02:15:15,596 --> 02:15:16,264

3788
02:15:21,202 --> 02:15:21,903
the directive to get this

3789
02:15:21,903 --> 02:15:22,770
program in place And I just

3790
02:15:22,770 --> 02:15:26,970
want to thank you for all that

3791
02:15:27,575 --> 02:15:32,375
you do As we see your team does

3792
02:15:33,415 --> 02:15:34,249
put themselves at risk.

3793
02:15:34,249 --> 02:15:34,983
And so I just wanted to make

3794
02:15:34,983 --> 02:15:38,583
sure that we recognize that and

3795
02:15:38,820 --> 02:15:39,487
understand that as all of you

3796
02:15:39,487 --> 02:15:40,188
have families and folks that

3797
02:15:40,188 --> 02:15:42,588
you have responsibilities and

3798
02:15:45,193 --> 02:15:45,860
obligations to take care of And

3799
02:15:45,860 --> 02:15:46,527
also thank you for bringing

3800
02:15:46,527 --> 02:15:46,961
your lived experience to our

3801
02:15:46,961 --> 02:15:48,961
young people.

3802
02:15:50,632 --> 02:15:51,333
I had the pleasure of attending

3803
02:15:51,333 --> 02:15:54,933
an event the other night where

3804
02:15:56,972 --> 02:15:57,639
you know, I'll be honest when I

3805
02:15:57,639 --> 02:15:58,339
grew up certain communities

3806
02:15:58,339 --> 02:15:59,400
could be in the same room and

3807
02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:02,640
that is changing And I think

3808
02:16:02,644 --> 02:16:03,344
that speaks specifically to

3809
02:16:03,344 --> 02:16:07,544
the work that you do as often

3810
02:16:08,783 --> 02:16:09,383
as you are told No, you tend to

3811
02:16:09,383 --> 02:16:10,180
stay committed and stay

3812
02:16:10,180 --> 02:16:12,418
dedicated and don't accept

3813
02:16:14,489 --> 02:16:15,890
those numbers and keep looking

3814
02:16:15,890 --> 02:16:15,690
forward And glad to hear

3815
02:16:15,690 --> 02:16:18,900
the program is actually

3816
02:16:20,695 --> 02:16:21,462
expanding and doing some work

3817
02:16:21,462 --> 02:16:22,163
at the county now And so just

3818
02:16:22,163 --> 02:16:22,831
looking forward to continuing

3819
02:16:22,831 --> 02:16:26,431

3820
02:16:26,601 --> 02:16:27,169

3823
02:16:32,306 --> 02:16:32,774
I also just want to say

3824
02:16:32,774 --> 02:16:33,475
congratulations.

3825
02:16:33,475 --> 02:16:37,750
We have a few appointments to

3826
02:16:38,680 --> 02:16:39,447

3827
02:16:39,447 --> 02:16:40,215

The historical context

3844
02:17:14,750 --> 02:17:17,150
associated with Common Ground

3845
02:17:19,455 --> 02:17:20,188
Theater Again another and what

3846
02:17:20,188 --> 02:17:20,923
I will say an institution where

3847
02:17:20,923 --> 02:17:25,123
we had to make our own way

3848
02:17:25,560 --> 02:17:26,261
right create opportunity,

3849
02:17:26,261 --> 02:17:29,861
create a space for our people

3850
02:17:31,433 --> 02:17:32,233
to flourish and to participate

3851
02:17:32,233 --> 02:17:33,680
in the arts and their talents.

3852
02:17:33,680 --> 02:17:33,769
So thank you and thank you for

3853
02:17:33,769 --> 02:17:36,169
continuing to keep those

3854
02:17:38,173 --> 02:17:38,973
efforts ongoing.

3855
02:17:38,973 --> 02:17:41,973
I will add and congratulations

3856
02:17:44,145 --> 02:17:44,813
on to the mayor I think

3857
02:17:44,813 --> 02:17:47,813
the caliber of grant another

3858
02:17:49,485 --> 02:17:50,151
round up of that funding I just

3859
02:17:50,151 --> 02:17:51,190
think it speaks to where we

3860
02:17:51,190 --> 02:17:55,190
once were and where we are now

3861
02:17:55,190 --> 02:17:55,758
continuing to work with

3862
02:17:55,758 --> 02:17:56,458
the community to bring

3863
02:17:56,458 --> 02:17:58,858
alternatives because that work

3864
02:18:02,640 --> 02:18:02,798
again folks are our community

3865
02:18:02,798 --> 02:18:03,464
Public safety professionals are

3866
02:18:03,464 --> 02:18:07,136
able to go to place go into

3867
02:18:07,136 --> 02:18:07,769
spaces where our law

3868
02:18:07,769 --> 02:18:08,136
enforcement professionals

3869
02:18:08,136 --> 02:18:08,771
cannot go.

3870
02:18:08,771 --> 02:18:12,371
And so thank you for that.

3871
02:18:13,308 --> 02:18:14,430
With that I will conclude there

3872
02:18:14,430 --> 02:18:17,643
MADAM Clerk, as we move forward

3873
02:18:19,481 --> 02:18:20,115
I would like to register a no

3874
02:18:20,115 --> 02:18:20,482
vote on item 57 the salary

3875
02:18:20,482 --> 02:18:21,216
ordinance.

3876
02:18:21,216 --> 02:18:24,216
And that concludes my comments.

3877
02:18:27,890 --> 02:18:27,456
Thank you.

3878
02:18:27,456 --> 02:18:27,956
All right.

3879
02:18:27,956 --> 02:18:28,724
Thank you, sir.

3880
02:18:28,724 --> 02:18:29,391

3881
02:18:29,391 --> 02:18:29,992

>> Councilmember Eli Rivera

3886
02:18:33,950 --> 02:18:35,495
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

3887
02:18:36,699 --> 02:18:37,465
I'll make this pretty brief.

3888
02:18:37,465 --> 02:18:41,650
I just wanted to speak to

3889
02:18:43,372 --> 02:18:43,973
the No shots fired program and

3890
02:18:43,973 --> 02:18:44,673
thank MR. Bowzer and

3893
02:18:50,144 --> 02:18:50,845
work.

3894
02:18:50,845 --> 02:18:51,346
I appreciate you putting your

3895
02:18:51,346 --> 02:18:51,780
body on the line.

3896
02:18:51,780 --> 02:18:52,448
Well, you do.

3897
02:18:52,448 --> 02:18:54,983
Thank you for continuing to

3898
02:18:54,983 --> 02:18:55,417
show up despite the way you've

3899
02:18:55,417 --> 02:18:57,417
been impacted.

3900
02:19:01,123 --> 02:19:01,724
It's an incredibly important

3901
02:19:01,724 --> 02:19:04,724
part of creating a safe

3902
02:19:06,729 --> 02:19:07,430
community and it's I'm really

3903
02:19:07,430 --> 02:19:11,630
glad to see the arc that this

3904
02:19:12,968 --> 02:19:13,669
program has taken from when

3905
02:19:13,669 --> 02:19:15,669
then Councilmember Montgomery

3906
02:19:18,774 --> 02:19:19,475
Step and other chief of staff

3907
02:19:19,475 --> 02:19:20,176
last year started championing

3908
02:19:20,176 --> 02:19:24,376
it the way it was responded to

3909
02:19:25,447 --> 02:19:26,315
from within the system and now

3910
02:19:26,315 --> 02:19:30,515
where it is the you have proven

3911
02:19:30,919 --> 02:19:31,620
that proven that what you are

3912
02:19:31,620 --> 02:19:34,620
arguing for and advocating for

3913
02:19:36,425 --> 02:19:37,126
wasn't just a nice idea It was

3914
02:19:37,126 --> 02:19:40,726
it was it was born from

3915
02:19:43,432 --> 02:19:44,990
evidence and experience And

3916
02:19:44,990 --> 02:19:44,766
then Catherine Foster, thank

3917
02:19:44,766 --> 02:19:45,340
you for being a champion for

3918
02:19:45,340 --> 02:19:45,601
it.

3919
02:19:45,601 --> 02:19:48,103
I continue to seek out

3920
02:19:48,103 --> 02:19:48,503
resources that can support

3921
02:19:48,503 --> 02:19:49,238
the program.

3922
02:19:49,238 --> 02:19:49,839
Again, this is a really, really

3923
02:19:49,839 --> 02:19:51,839
important, really really

3924
02:19:55,143 --> 02:19:55,544
important part of keeping San

3925
02:19:55,544 --> 02:19:56,212
Diego safe.

3926
02:19:56,212 --> 02:19:58,612
>> Thank you Council member

I will congratulate the funding

3930
02:20:05,922 --> 02:20:06,656
As my colleague said, those who

3931
02:20:06,656 --> 02:20:07,323
are being appointed reappointed

3932
02:20:07,323 --> 02:20:07,990

experience will be crucial to

3940
02:20:22,438 --> 02:20:22,772
the upcoming work of the board

3941
02:20:22,772 --> 02:20:23,439

willingness to serve on

3945
02:20:25,700 --> 02:20:27,700
the mission.

3946
02:20:28,511 --> 02:20:29,212
Bay Park Committee I'm sorry

3947
02:20:29,212 --> 02:20:31,612
COUNCILMAN Moreno I apologize.

3948
02:20:33,349 --> 02:20:36,349
>> My intention wasn't to speak

3949
02:20:37,886 --> 02:20:38,287
but I do have a question on

3950
02:20:38,287 --> 02:20:40,287
item 57.

3951
02:20:42,424 --> 02:20:43,125
I just want to clarify Did we I

3952
02:20:43,125 --> 02:20:43,860
wasn't here for the first

3953
02:20:43,860 --> 02:20:44,560
reading so I understand this is

3954
02:20:44,560 --> 02:20:48,760
the second reading and I see a

3955
02:20:49,310 --> 02:20:49,732
car allowance for this

3956
02:20:49,732 --> 02:20:50,465
assistant to the city manager

3957
02:20:50,465 --> 02:20:54,650
which is the mayor deputy chief

3958
02:20:54,670 --> 02:20:57,700
of staff Classification two

3959
02:20:59,175 --> 02:20:59,675
Exhibit f Auto allowance under

3960
02:20:59,675 --> 02:21:00,342
$475 per month.

3961
02:21:00,342 --> 02:21:01,100
I just I was under

3962
02:21:01,100 --> 02:21:01,611
the impression that that was

3963
02:21:01,611 --> 02:21:04,611
removed and I just want

3964
02:21:05,248 --> 02:21:06,115
clarification on that.

3965
02:21:06,115 --> 02:21:06,683
I see folks in the back Did you

3966
02:21:06,683 --> 02:21:09,683
want to speak to that?

3967
02:21:11,354 --> 02:21:11,987
I think the idea was to remove

3968
02:21:11,987 --> 02:21:12,689
it when after we adopt

3969
02:21:12,689 --> 02:21:13,323
the budget and then we update

3970
02:21:13,323 --> 02:21:13,622
the salary ordinance after

3971
02:21:13,622 --> 02:21:15,622
that.

3972
02:21:21,364 --> 02:21:21,664
But I MAY not have that correct

3973
02:21:21,664 --> 02:21:22,332
.

3974
02:21:22,332 --> 02:21:23,320
I thank you so much.

3975
02:21:23,320 --> 02:21:25,432
Abby Gravelle, deputy director

3976
02:21:27,403 --> 02:21:28,138
of Human resources Department.

3977
02:21:28,138 --> 02:21:28,838
So the direction was to go back

3978
02:21:28,838 --> 02:21:32,438
to status quo in that position

3979
02:21:34,760 --> 02:21:34,777
did have the pay at the time so

3980
02:21:34,777 --> 02:21:35,446
the remaining position titles

3981
02:21:35,446 --> 02:21:37,846
were changed but everything

3982
02:21:38,981 --> 02:21:39,682
else was remain status quo per

3983
02:21:39,682 --> 02:21:40,350
the direction of city council

3984
02:21:40,350 --> 02:21:43,350
remain status quo meaning if

3985
02:21:45,722 --> 02:21:46,423
the position was already lifted

3986
02:21:46,423 --> 02:21:47,900
that position was not removed,

3987
02:21:47,900 --> 02:21:47,791
the titles were changed and

3988
02:21:47,791 --> 02:21:48,224
that was the only change that

3989
02:21:48,224 --> 02:21:50,224
was requested.

3990
02:21:51,194 --> 02:21:51,961
Okay.

3991
02:21:51,961 --> 02:21:52,662
And my question once again I'll

3992
02:21:52,662 --> 02:21:53,960
reiterate does this include a

3993
02:21:53,960 --> 02:21:55,960
car allowance?

3994
02:21:57,660 --> 02:21:57,767
There is an auto allowance for

3995
02:21:57,767 --> 02:21:58,467
that condition credible given

3996
02:21:58,467 --> 02:21:59,169
the budget circumstances that

3997
02:21:59,169 --> 02:22:02,769
we have and that my community

3998
02:22:03,206 --> 02:22:06,206
is facing libraries being shut

3999
02:22:08,645 --> 02:22:09,145
and park and rec programing

4000
02:22:09,145 --> 02:22:09,846
being eliminated.

4001
02:22:09,846 --> 02:22:10,580
I don't think it's appropriate

4002
02:22:10,580 --> 02:22:14,780
to add a car allowance at this

4003
02:22:15,285 --> 02:22:18,285
moment for deputy chief of

4004
02:22:21,124 --> 02:22:21,925
staff for the mayor's office.

4005
02:22:21,925 --> 02:22:22,392
So I will be registering a no

4006
02:22:22,392 --> 02:22:23,360
vote on item 57.

4007
02:22:23,360 --> 02:22:27,531
I do look forward to it being

4008
02:22:27,531 --> 02:22:28,231
eliminated as the budget as we

4009
02:22:28,231 --> 02:22:28,965
come and vote for the budget.

4010
02:22:28,965 --> 02:22:33,300
But given what's in front of me

4011
02:22:33,300 --> 02:22:33,636
today, I don't do not feel

4012
02:22:33,636 --> 02:22:34,371
comfortable giving a carte

4013
02:22:34,371 --> 02:22:34,838
allowance to the mayor's deputy

4014
02:22:34,838 --> 02:22:36,838
chief of staff.

4015
02:22:39,108 --> 02:22:39,609
Thank you.

4016
02:22:39,609 --> 02:22:39,976
All right.

4017
02:22:39,976 --> 02:22:40,476
Thank you.

4018
02:22:40,476 --> 02:22:41,111
Council Memorial.

4019
02:22:41,111 --> 02:22:41,511
Good catch, Councilmember

4020
02:22:41,511 --> 02:22:43,511
Eagleburger.

4021
02:22:45,248 --> 02:22:45,948
Yeah, I just I'm not going to

4022
02:22:45,948 --> 02:22:46,716
make a whole thing out of it.

4023
02:22:46,716 --> 02:22:49,716
I just am not 100% comfortable

4024
02:22:50,520 --> 02:22:50,954
with the way that the way that

4025
02:22:50,954 --> 02:22:51,688
was described.

4026
02:22:51,688 --> 02:22:55,692
And so I'll also be casting a

4027
02:22:55,692 --> 02:22:56,360
no vote on 57 based on how it's

4028
02:22:56,360 --> 02:22:57,160
moving with an understanding

4029
02:22:57,160 --> 02:23:01,360
that it'll come back to us a

4030
02:23:01,999 --> 02:23:02,733
little later on in front of

4031
02:23:02,733 --> 02:23:04,733
Council Councilmember Campbell.

4032
02:23:07,360 --> 02:23:07,604
I also would like to cast a no

4033
02:23:07,604 --> 02:23:08,271
vote on 57.

4034
02:23:08,271 --> 02:23:08,972
I'd ask the mayor before he

4035
02:23:08,972 --> 02:23:11,972
even presented the budget his

4036
02:23:13,676 --> 02:23:14,311
for draft budget to please get

4037
02:23:14,311 --> 02:23:17,311
rid of the car allowances.

4038
02:23:19,348 --> 02:23:19,650
I know there's only a few of

4039
02:23:19,650 --> 02:23:20,350
them.

4040
02:23:20,350 --> 02:23:21,180
It doesn't add up to a

4041
02:23:21,180 --> 02:23:21,318
horrendously large amount of

4042
02:23:21,318 --> 02:23:23,318
money.

4043
02:23:24,622 --> 02:23:25,522
Nevertheless every single bit

4044
02:23:25,522 --> 02:23:26,389
counts and I think that we are

4045
02:23:26,389 --> 02:23:30,589
very out of date to be giving

4046
02:23:31,495 --> 02:23:31,962
car allowances at this time.

4047
02:23:31,962 --> 02:23:32,930
>> Thank you.

4048
02:23:32,930 --> 02:23:36,500
What happens if we just pull

4049
02:23:36,500 --> 02:23:37,167
item 57 right now, defer to

4050
02:23:37,167 --> 02:23:39,567
the city attorney's office?

4051
02:23:43,106 --> 02:23:43,740
There's a charter requirement

4052
02:23:43,740 --> 02:23:44,341
that requires a first and

4053
02:23:44,341 --> 02:23:45,800
second reading to occur.

4054
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:47,911
So I would defer to the city

4055
02:23:47,911 --> 02:23:48,645
attorney's office on next steps

4056
02:23:48,645 --> 02:23:49,313
with regard to that approval of

4057
02:23:49,313 --> 02:23:49,646
the second reading not just

4058
02:23:49,646 --> 02:23:51,646
correct.

4059
02:23:53,550 --> 02:23:54,418
Correct.

4060
02:23:54,418 --> 02:23:55,850
I don't think the city attorney

4061
02:23:55,850 --> 02:23:55,452
was prepared for a question

4062
02:23:55,452 --> 02:23:57,452
like that.

4063
02:23:59,856 --> 02:24:00,691
Oh yes.

4064
02:24:00,691 --> 02:24:04,291
The one wildly waving the fence

4065
02:24:06,630 --> 02:24:09,933
So yeah, that the problem is

4066
02:24:09,933 --> 02:24:10,567
the charter requires

4067
02:24:10,567 --> 02:24:11,268
the charter Section 11.1

4068
02:24:11,268 --> 02:24:11,768
requires the salary ordinance

4069
02:24:11,768 --> 02:24:14,168
be passed by 30th.

4070
02:24:16,906 --> 02:24:21,106
So if it does not pass today,

4071
02:24:21,544 --> 02:24:22,246
there's no time to pacify MAY

4072
02:24:22,246 --> 02:24:22,913
30th So would be a technically

4073
02:24:22,913 --> 02:24:25,313
charter violation there You

4074
02:24:27,517 --> 02:24:28,218
don't have the votes.

4075
02:24:28,218 --> 02:24:28,585
You have five votes.

4076
02:24:28,585 --> 02:24:29,520
All right.

4077
02:24:29,520 --> 02:24:33,123
I think I think a message is

4078
02:24:33,123 --> 02:24:33,891
being sent sent pretty loud and

4079
02:24:33,891 --> 02:24:38,910
clear which is what we I think

4080
02:24:39,263 --> 02:24:40,364
navigated last time.

4081
02:24:40,364 --> 02:24:41,640
So if I can just add to that, I

4082
02:24:41,640 --> 02:24:41,664
believe that there will be an

4083
02:24:41,664 --> 02:24:44,640
amendment to the salary

4084
02:24:46,203 --> 02:24:46,871
ordinance coming shortly And at

4085
02:24:46,871 --> 02:24:47,371
that time you could address

4086
02:24:47,371 --> 02:24:48,720
the car allowance.

4087
02:24:48,720 --> 02:24:48,706
Yeah, Councilperson I believe

4088
02:24:48,706 --> 02:24:51,706
the next amendment will be

4089
02:24:52,760 --> 02:24:52,743
coming for JUNE 16th to include

4090
02:24:52,743 --> 02:24:53,376
the reach Labor negotiation

4091
02:24:53,376 --> 02:24:56,376
agreement and so we could

4092
02:24:57,314 --> 02:24:58,480
revisit this conversation at

4093
02:24:58,480 --> 02:24:58,716
that time and then move forward

4094
02:24:58,716 --> 02:25:02,316
with the vote today to meet

4095
02:25:04,540 --> 02:25:04,369
the charter mandate.

4096
02:25:04,369 --> 02:25:05,890
Okay.

4097
02:25:05,890 --> 02:25:05,790
I don't think we want to

4098
02:25:05,790 --> 02:25:09,390
revisit I think Kotek want to

4099
02:25:09,660 --> 02:25:10,527
get it done So so if we hold

4100
02:25:10,527 --> 02:25:14,127
firm like that we can get

4101
02:25:15,899 --> 02:25:16,666
the PRESIDENT.

4102
02:25:16,666 --> 02:25:17,368
I think that that's the way I

4103
02:25:17,368 --> 02:25:20,968
heard the response was I think

4104
02:25:21,439 --> 02:25:22,600
I thought it was more or less

4105
02:25:22,600 --> 02:25:22,606
settled matter when we

4106
02:25:22,606 --> 02:25:23,441
discussed it last time.

4107
02:25:23,441 --> 02:25:26,210
So I'm willing to vote yes with

4108
02:25:26,210 --> 02:25:29,210
the commitment that this is

4109
02:25:31,949 --> 02:25:32,349
gone when it comes back to us.

4110
02:25:32,349 --> 02:25:34,349
Yes.

4111
02:25:39,523 --> 02:25:40,191
Councilmember that I understand

4112
02:25:40,191 --> 02:25:43,191
the desire to move forward.

4113
02:25:44,696 --> 02:25:45,329
I will cast a yes vote with

4114
02:25:45,329 --> 02:25:46,300
the expectation that that

4115
02:25:46,300 --> 02:25:46,564
commitment be adhered to when

4116
02:25:46,564 --> 02:25:49,564
we see it next time.

4117
02:25:50,601 --> 02:25:51,269
Okay.

4118
02:25:51,269 --> 02:25:51,969
One of several things this

4119
02:25:51,969 --> 02:25:52,770
council has to deal with where

4120
02:25:52,770 --> 02:25:56,370
we feel like we have very

4121
02:25:57,107 --> 02:25:57,742
little choice or a voice but I

4122
02:25:57,742 --> 02:25:58,376
think the point was made.

4123
02:25:58,376 --> 02:26:00,776
So thank you Councilmember

4124
02:26:01,879 --> 02:26:02,580
Moreno for catching that So

4125
02:26:02,580 --> 02:26:02,880
Council PRESIDENT Potentially

4126
02:26:02,880 --> 02:26:04,880
yeah.

4127
02:26:07,518 --> 02:26:08,219
>> Despite my inclination to

4128
02:26:08,219 --> 02:26:08,820
also have the same challenge I

4129
02:26:08,820 --> 02:26:11,220
will support it knowing

4130
02:26:14,424 --> 02:26:15,326
the need to move forward and

4131
02:26:15,326 --> 02:26:15,793
revise is going to be part of

4132
02:26:15,793 --> 02:26:16,494
shortly anyway.

4133
02:26:16,494 --> 02:26:17,161
So frankly the budget going to

4134
02:26:17,161 --> 02:26:19,697
be in the council's hands I

4135
02:26:19,697 --> 02:26:20,364
think it'll be an opportunity

4136
02:26:20,364 --> 02:26:20,998
for the Council to remember

4137
02:26:20,998 --> 02:26:24,434
what it would like to see

4138
02:26:24,434 --> 02:26:25,136
incorporated moving forward in

4139
02:26:25,136 --> 02:26:25,703
that salary one and so look

4140
02:26:25,703 --> 02:26:26,700
forward to doing that.

4141
02:26:26,700 --> 02:26:26,437
All right.

4142
02:26:26,437 --> 02:26:28,437
Thank you.

4143
02:26:30,410 --> 02:26:30,775
Sorry with that I think

4144
02:26:30,775 --> 02:26:31,609
everybody has spoken So we have

4145
02:26:31,609 --> 02:26:35,209
a motion by council member Von

4146
02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:36,413
Wolpert.

4147
02:26:36,413 --> 02:26:36,881
We have a second by Council

4148
02:26:36,881 --> 02:26:38,881
member Campbell.

4149
02:26:41,953 --> 02:26:42,586
I think we still have no votes

4150
02:26:42,586 --> 02:26:43,288
from COUNCILMAN Moreno and

4151
02:26:43,288 --> 02:26:45,688
Council member Campbell on 57.

4152
02:26:48,126 --> 02:26:48,760
So you have that and

4153
02:26:48,760 --> 02:26:49,460
Councilmember Foster will

4154
02:26:49,460 --> 02:26:49,761
musical chairs here But that's

4155
02:26:49,761 --> 02:26:51,761
okay.

4156
02:26:54,832 --> 02:26:55,566
That's what we're here for.

4157
02:26:55,566 --> 02:26:56,200
So with that clear touch a

4158
02:26:56,200 --> 02:26:58,200
little uncomfortable with

4159
02:26:59,603 --> 02:27:00,304
the way this has unfolded here.

4160
02:27:00,304 --> 02:27:01,139
I don't think we've actually

4161
02:27:01,139 --> 02:27:04,739
had a full discussion of this

4162
02:27:06,411 --> 02:27:07,450
and I'm not comfortable with no

4163
02:27:07,450 --> 02:27:09,445
votes here and commitments

4164
02:27:11,816 --> 02:27:12,216
there about future action of

4165
02:27:12,216 --> 02:27:12,917
the council.

4166
02:27:12,917 --> 02:27:13,685
I don't want to vote on

4167
02:27:13,685 --> 02:27:16,685
something that's going to tie

4168
02:27:20,358 --> 02:27:21,240
my hands.

4169
02:27:21,240 --> 02:27:21,726
Well, the mayor's office is

4170
02:27:21,726 --> 02:27:24,726
committing to bring it forward

4171
02:27:25,696 --> 02:27:26,398
with the removal the council

4172
02:27:26,398 --> 02:27:29,330
will still have an opportunity

4173
02:27:29,330 --> 02:27:31,330
to vote right?

4174
02:27:35,940 --> 02:27:36,675
Know countermeasure.

4175
02:27:36,675 --> 02:27:37,375
>> Would it be possible to

4176
02:27:37,375 --> 02:27:40,975
return this item to staff and

4177
02:27:42,580 --> 02:27:43,281
get it for next Tuesday to

4178
02:27:43,281 --> 02:27:43,915
ensure that we meet the second

4179
02:27:43,915 --> 02:27:44,616
reading prior to MAY 30th?

4180
02:27:44,616 --> 02:27:47,352
>> Sure I can live with that.

4181
02:27:47,352 --> 02:27:50,952
We will return this to staff.

4182
02:27:53,258 --> 02:27:54,240
>> Okay.

4183
02:27:54,240 --> 02:27:54,726
The key thing is we get

4184
02:27:54,726 --> 02:27:55,193
the work done even if it's a

4185
02:27:55,193 --> 02:27:57,193
little nothing.

4186
02:27:59,164 --> 02:27:59,664
So item 57 is going to be

4187
02:27:59,664 --> 02:28:01,664
returned to staff.

4188
02:28:04,200 --> 02:28:06,200
Um okay.

4189
02:28:13,440 --> 02:28:15,130
So with the concurrence of

4190
02:28:15,130 --> 02:28:15,914
the motion maker COUNCILMAN One

4191
02:28:15,914 --> 02:28:18,914
ward with 57 been removed and

4192
02:28:21,653 --> 02:28:22,354
the second or we will vote on

4193
02:28:22,354 --> 02:28:22,921
the remainder of the items so

4194
02:28:22,921 --> 02:28:25,321
please call the roll.

4195
02:28:27,192 --> 02:28:27,959
>> I started the voting system.

4196
02:28:27,959 --> 02:28:28,660
Please cast your vote just for

4197
02:28:28,660 --> 02:28:31,660
the record again items 57 and

4198
02:28:32,797 --> 02:28:33,531
106 were returned.

4199
02:28:33,531 --> 02:28:34,132
The remaining items were passed

4200
02:28:34,132 --> 02:28:36,132
unanimously 8 to 0 with

4201
02:28:38,670 --> 02:28:39,171
Councilmember Campo absent.

4202
02:28:39,171 --> 02:28:39,571
Thank you.

4203
02:28:39,571 --> 02:28:40,272
All right.

4204
02:28:40,272 --> 02:28:40,972
Thank you for a reminder about

4205
02:28:40,972 --> 02:28:45,276
I don't want to six as well so

4206
02:28:45,276 --> 02:28:49,476
I think you got it and Abbie

4207
02:28:51,416 --> 02:28:52,116
and Tom for your Oh so with

4208
02:28:52,116 --> 02:28:55,716
that again we're going to take

4209
02:28:56,455 --> 02:28:57,155
not a general public comment

4210
02:28:57,155 --> 02:28:57,889
that it's in chambers We will

4211
02:28:57,889 --> 02:29:00,889
trail the virtual agenda public

4212
02:29:03,295 --> 02:29:03,628
comment until after the 2:00

4213
02:29:03,628 --> 02:29:04,362
session.

4214
02:29:04,362 --> 02:29:07,962
So first are there any mayoral

4215
02:29:09,167 --> 02:29:09,735
council city attorney general

4216
02:29:09,735 --> 02:29:11,735
specifically comments?

4217
02:29:13,805 --> 02:29:14,673
I don't see any I'm going to

4218
02:29:14,673 --> 02:29:15,374
make a comment to correct a on

4219
02:29:15,374 --> 02:29:18,974
the record but I'll do that

4220
02:29:20,479 --> 02:29:20,893
next week in the interest of

4221
02:29:20,893 --> 02:29:21,546
time.

4222
02:29:21,546 --> 02:29:22,247
So let's now take up non agenda

4223
02:29:22,247 --> 02:29:24,647
public comment Council members

4224
02:29:25,517 --> 02:29:26,218

02:29:28,253 --> 02:29:30,653
to council and committee

4229
02:29:31,723 --> 02:29:32,357
meetings.

4231
02:29:37,663 --> 02:29:38,229
the in-person public comment

4232
02:29:38,229 --> 02:29:38,831
Again we're deferring

4233
02:29:38,831 --> 02:29:39,464
the virtual or trailing

4234
02:29:39,464 --> 02:29:39,798

4250
02:30:09,270 --> 02:30:12,270
minutes for non agenda Public

4251
02:30:12,897 --> 02:30:13,698
comment As a reminder Approval

4252
02:30:13,698 --> 02:30:14,399
2.7 on agenda for the coming is

4253
02:30:14,399 --> 02:30:15,660
an opportunity for the public

4254
02:30:15,660 --> 02:30:15,734
to comment on items that are

4255
02:30:15,734 --> 02:30:19,700
not on the agenda but within

4256
02:30:19,700 --> 02:30:19,671
the subject manager stiction of

4257
02:30:19,671 --> 02:30:20,500
the City Council Please

4258
02:30:20,500 --> 02:30:20,673
proceed.

4259
02:30:20,673 --> 02:30:24,243
Do I get a ticket with me Is

4260
02:30:24,243 --> 02:30:25,110
that I'm just All right.

4261
02:30:25,110 --> 02:30:25,777
>> So I'm wondering if you guys

4262
02:30:25,777 --> 02:30:28,777
can humble yourselves for a

4263
02:30:29,682 --> 02:30:30,382
moment because you know that

4264
02:30:30,382 --> 02:30:31,830
you violate not only your city

4265
02:30:31,830 --> 02:30:34,683
charter but the Brown Act and

4266
02:30:35,955 --> 02:30:36,689
those could potentially put you

4267
02:30:36,689 --> 02:30:37,289
guys up for misdemeanor charges

4268
02:30:37,289 --> 02:30:39,689
and civil penalties per

4269
02:30:42,610 --> 02:30:42,894
violation.

4270
02:30:42,894 --> 02:30:43,628
It was five times I caught you

4271
02:30:43,628 --> 02:30:47,228
guys doing it and you literally

4272
02:30:47,366 --> 02:30:48,330
treated me like a criminal.

4273
02:30:48,330 --> 02:30:51,330
That's not fair And you're

4274
02:30:53,706 --> 02:30:54,406
making me want to go further

4275
02:30:54,406 --> 02:30:57,406
and hold you guys accountable

4276
02:30:59,678 --> 02:31:00,846
because you won't even admit

4277
02:31:00,846 --> 02:31:05,460
that what you did was wrong and

4278
02:31:05,918 --> 02:31:06,519
illegal And there should be

4279
02:31:06,519 --> 02:31:09,519
looked at by the Ethics

4280
02:31:11,524 --> 02:31:12,224
Commission because how can you

4281
02:31:12,224 --> 02:31:12,958
be trusted when you literally

4282
02:31:12,958 --> 02:31:13,558
blatant look me in the face and

4283
02:31:13,558 --> 02:31:15,958
then we're like laughing

4284
02:31:17,530 --> 02:31:18,397
potentially pretty much about

4285
02:31:18,397 --> 02:31:22,597
it when you know you know that

4286
02:31:23,402 --> 02:31:24,690
you can't do business without a

4287
02:31:24,690 --> 02:31:24,770
quorum but yet you are so

4288
02:31:24,770 --> 02:31:27,770
arrogant that you dug your

4289
02:31:29,875 --> 02:31:30,643
heels in and you did it five

4290
02:31:30,643 --> 02:31:31,444
times And I have a record of it

4291
02:31:31,444 --> 02:31:35,440
because you guys have your own

4292
02:31:39,510 --> 02:31:39,719
city tv that will hide that.

4293
02:31:39,719 --> 02:31:40,419
Yeah, because the music will

4294
02:31:40,419 --> 02:31:44,190
come on, the video will change

4295
02:31:45,391 --> 02:31:46,910
and out of transparency those

4296
02:31:46,910 --> 02:31:46,758
are things that you should let

4297
02:31:46,758 --> 02:31:47,460
the public see how you treat

4298
02:31:47,460 --> 02:31:49,860
people especially when you're

4299
02:31:51,897 --> 02:31:52,598
violating the law and you like

4300
02:31:52,598 --> 02:31:52,899
literally blatantly do it Like

4301
02:31:52,899 --> 02:31:53,366
what?

4302
02:31:53,366 --> 02:31:54,199
What do you got?

4303
02:31:54,199 --> 02:31:56,936
What are you going to do about

4304
02:31:56,936 --> 02:31:57,770
it?

4305
02:31:57,770 --> 02:31:58,470
So now I'm going to prove to

4306
02:31:58,470 --> 02:31:59,105
you what I'm going to do about

4307
02:31:59,105 --> 02:31:59,472
it because this shouldn't

4308
02:31:59,472 --> 02:32:01,472
continue.

4309
02:32:03,175 --> 02:32:03,943
You shouldn't treat the public

4310
02:32:03,943 --> 02:32:04,644
like that when you're violating

4311
02:32:04,644 --> 02:32:08,244
the law and then you're acting

4312
02:32:09,150 --> 02:32:09,682
like I'm violating the law.

4313
02:32:09,682 --> 02:32:10,383
I'm making a disruption When

4314
02:32:10,383 --> 02:32:11,160
your city attorney can't even

4315
02:32:11,160 --> 02:32:14,160
go, we shouldn't be doing

4316
02:32:15,387 --> 02:32:16,456
business like this.

4317
02:32:16,456 --> 02:32:18,624
So good for you guys and your

4318
02:32:18,624 --> 02:32:19,591
arrogance.

4319
02:32:19,591 --> 02:32:22,591
Look forward to fighting this

4320
02:32:29,835 --> 02:32:30,150
further and please come forward

4321
02:32:30,150 --> 02:32:30,903
.

4322
02:32:30,903 --> 02:32:34,503
Andrea Ebbing I was there for

4323
02:32:35,541 --> 02:32:36,242
one of the times that happened

4324
02:32:36,242 --> 02:32:36,909
and I obviously support our

4325
02:32:36,909 --> 02:32:40,509
efforts and I think that we

4326
02:32:41,614 --> 02:32:42,282
don't want to keep her

4327
02:32:42,282 --> 02:32:42,982
incompetent for saying that

4328
02:32:42,982 --> 02:32:46,582
because if it does turn legal

4329
02:32:47,319 --> 02:32:48,870
that could be a good strategy

4330
02:32:48,870 --> 02:32:48,721
to shut her up because when

4331
02:32:48,721 --> 02:32:49,422
slamming her on the ground

4332
02:32:49,422 --> 02:32:53,220
didn't work and then trying to

4333
02:32:53,593 --> 02:32:54,226
silence her didn't work, we can

4334
02:32:54,226 --> 02:32:54,961
always be more incompetent

4335
02:32:54,961 --> 02:32:55,361
which is what they're trying to

4336
02:32:55,361 --> 02:32:57,361
do with me.

4337
02:32:59,132 --> 02:32:59,799
So it's funny because

4338
02:32:59,799 --> 02:33:00,465
the officer that beat me to

4339
02:33:00,465 --> 02:33:00,766
almost death doesn't have a

4340
02:33:00,766 --> 02:33:02,766
case.

4341
02:33:05,805 --> 02:33:06,539
This man came and he admitted

4342
02:33:06,539 --> 02:33:07,240
on the stand that he grabbed my

4343
02:33:07,240 --> 02:33:10,240
hand and basically started to

4344
02:33:11,244 --> 02:33:11,978
assault me without ever

4345
02:33:11,978 --> 02:33:12,712
instructing me one moment about

4346
02:33:12,712 --> 02:33:16,312
what he was doing not knowing

4347
02:33:17,517 --> 02:33:17,851
the trauma I had just lived

4348
02:33:17,851 --> 02:33:18,551
through.

4349
02:33:18,551 --> 02:33:19,385
So I want this on the record

4350
02:33:19,385 --> 02:33:22,985
that there was no jury trial

4351
02:33:23,590 --> 02:33:24,324
set because my public defender

4352
02:33:24,324 --> 02:33:27,924
filed a95995 and she also filed

4353
02:33:29,863 --> 02:33:30,463
a motion.

4354
02:33:30,463 --> 02:33:30,997
I'm obviously competent.

4355
02:33:30,997 --> 02:33:33,397
I make great money.

4356
02:33:35,735 --> 02:33:36,468
I've survived something you

4357
02:33:36,468 --> 02:33:37,170
can't even possibly imagine And

4358
02:33:37,170 --> 02:33:37,504
here I am today balancing work

4359
02:33:37,504 --> 02:33:39,504
in this.

4360
02:33:41,141 --> 02:33:41,841
I'm very competent But when

4361
02:33:41,841 --> 02:33:42,509
this was going to fall through

4362
02:33:42,509 --> 02:33:44,909
because they obviously know

4363
02:33:47,460 --> 02:33:47,714
that they're in the wrong they

4364
02:33:47,714 --> 02:33:48,415
decided to try and make me

4365
02:33:48,415 --> 02:33:51,415
incompetent which is going to

4366
02:33:52,485 --> 02:33:53,219
be a challenge because I

4367
02:33:53,219 --> 02:33:53,953
actually just built a beautiful

4368
02:33:53,953 --> 02:33:57,553
new website called sd Ricoh sd

4369
02:33:59,592 --> 02:34:00,293
Our ipo dot com which talks

4370
02:34:00,293 --> 02:34:00,994
about a lot of the patterns of

4371
02:34:00,994 --> 02:34:04,594
behavior I talk about up here.

4372
02:34:05,198 --> 02:34:05,599
So this is not your social

4373
02:34:05,599 --> 02:34:06,299
media page.

4374
02:34:06,299 --> 02:34:06,966
The county has no legal ban on

4375
02:34:06,966 --> 02:34:09,966
me for social media That's

4376
02:34:10,669 --> 02:34:11,337
total violation My First

4377
02:34:11,337 --> 02:34:11,670
Amendment rights I own this

4378
02:34:11,670 --> 02:34:12,405
website.

4379
02:34:12,405 --> 02:34:12,739
I will do what I want with this

4380
02:34:12,739 --> 02:34:14,739
website.

4381
02:34:16,610 --> 02:34:17,244
It is not social media and

4382
02:34:17,244 --> 02:34:17,711
enter the wicked world of

4383
02:34:17,711 --> 02:34:18,345
the enterprise.

4384
02:34:18,345 --> 02:34:21,345
Explore all new sd centric

4385

4386
02:34:23,583 --> 02:34:24,150
corruption, fraud, waste and

4387
02:34:24,150 --> 02:34:24,784
abuse and the unsolved

4388
02:34:24,784 --> 02:34:26,784
mysteries of questionable

4389
02:34:29,322 --> 02:34:30,230
decision making As rico

4390
02:34:30,230 --> 02:34:30,724
exploits a pattern of behavior

4391
02:34:30,724 --> 02:34:31,358
and predicate back that could

4392
02:34:31,358 --> 02:34:31,691
be defined under the rico

4393
02:34:31,691 --> 02:34:33,691
statute.

4394
02:34:35,996 --> 02:34:36,696
>> Thank you.

4395
02:34:36,696 --> 02:34:37,397
Thank you for that concluding

4396
02:34:37,397 --> 02:34:40,397
comment That does conclude not

02:46:50,154 --> 02:46:50,788
that are not on the agenda but

4457
02:46:50,788 --> 02:46:51,389
within the subject matter

4458
02:46:51,389 --> 02:46:51,723

the raise your hand icon or if

4463
02:46:57,395 --> 02:46:58,290
you're calling Participant Star

4464
02:46:58,290 --> 02:47:00,865
nine I'm sorry at the five

4465
02:47:00,865 --> 02:47:01,499
minute timer we currently have

4466
02:47:01,499 --> 02:47:02,233
seven people in the queue

4467
02:47:02,233 --> 02:47:04,633

>> Please unmute.

4469
02:47:06,871 --> 02:47:07,471
>> Thank you.

4470
02:47:07,471 --> 02:47:08,172
I'd like to address

4471
02:47:08,172 --> 02:47:11,172
the difficulty that the public

4472
02:47:12,710 --> 02:47:13,378
experience is when they try to

4473
02:47:13,378 --> 02:47:14,120
track changes in city codes,

4474
02:47:14,120 --> 02:47:16,120
amendments, ordinances and

4475
02:47:18,616 --> 02:47:19,250
policies when as Blair Bateman

4476
02:47:19,250 --> 02:47:19,784
pointed out, items are not

4477
02:47:19,784 --> 02:47:21,784
clearly defined Even

4478
02:47:24,422 --> 02:47:25,230
the briefest of explanations

4479
02:47:25,230 --> 02:47:25,656
would be appreciated If

4480
02:47:25,656 --> 02:47:28,560
illegible is silent please

4481
02:47:29,860 --> 02:47:30,595
identify its intent An acronym

4482
02:47:30,595 --> 02:47:31,295
abbreviation or alphabet agency

4483
02:47:31,295 --> 02:47:35,495
MAY be familiar to you but not

4484
02:47:36,601 --> 02:47:37,269
to the public.

4485
02:47:37,269 --> 02:47:37,969
The public has learned to be

4486
02:47:37,969 --> 02:47:40,369
suspicious of the euphemistic

4487
02:47:41,839 --> 02:47:42,640
or dishonest terms as they have

4488
02:47:42,640 --> 02:47:43,408
been used to hide what is being

4489
02:47:43,408 --> 02:47:46,408
done to avoid public opposition

4490
02:47:48,512 --> 02:47:49,147
providing a single minute for

4491
02:47:49,147 --> 02:47:49,780
public response undermines

4492
02:47:49,780 --> 02:47:52,780
the claim that you welcome

4493
02:47:53,752 --> 02:47:54,552
the public voice regarding

4494
02:47:54,552 --> 02:47:56,952
the 2026 Muni Code Update 134

4495
02:48:00,392 --> 02:48:01,126
proposed amendments many of

4496
02:48:01,126 --> 02:48:01,860
which were of great interest to

4497
02:48:01,860 --> 02:48:04,860
the public were bundled leaving

4498
02:48:06,310 --> 02:48:06,698
the public one minute to

4499
02:48:06,698 --> 02:48:08,698
respond that disenfranchizes

4500
02:48:11,436 --> 02:48:12,170
the public voice the excuse a

4501
02:48:12,170 --> 02:48:12,838
streamlining has been worn thin

4502
02:48:12,838 --> 02:48:13,472
Streamlining should only be

4503
02:48:13,472 --> 02:48:16,472
used when it benefits both

4504
02:48:18,243 --> 02:48:18,844
the public and the city council

4505
02:48:18,844 --> 02:48:19,544
Strategies such as these

4506
02:48:19,544 --> 02:48:21,544
replacing commonly understood

4507
02:48:23,915 --> 02:48:24,616
words or phrases with jargon

4508
02:48:24,616 --> 02:48:25,284
created with a political lens

4509
02:48:25,284 --> 02:48:28,284
and intended to obscure is

4510
02:48:31,123 --> 02:48:31,690
reminiscent of childish teen

4511
02:48:31,690 --> 02:48:32,423
speak used to obscure

4512
02:48:32,423 --> 02:48:36,230
the meaning from adults You are

4513
02:48:36,561 --> 02:48:37,328
all adults have the courage to

4514
02:48:37,328 --> 02:48:41,528
mean what you say and not hide

4515
02:48:42,434 --> 02:48:43,167
behind jargon Adults take

4516
02:48:43,167 --> 02:48:43,669
responsibility They don't blame

4517
02:48:43,669 --> 02:48:44,336
others and laugh.

4518
02:48:44,336 --> 02:48:44,937
The city should acknowledge

4519
02:48:44,937 --> 02:48:47,937
that many of the state's

4520
02:48:48,240 --> 02:48:48,973
policies have contributed to

4521
02:48:48,973 --> 02:48:52,573
the crimes for which police are

4522
02:48:54,846 --> 02:48:55,546
often blamed.

4523
02:48:55,546 --> 02:48:56,181
Releasing 15,000 violent state

4524
02:48:56,181 --> 02:48:58,581
inmates were released only

4525
02:49:01,119 --> 02:49:01,520
during public to protect them

4526
02:49:01,520 --> 02:49:03,520
from covid.

4527
02:49:04,622 --> 02:49:05,324
That never made sense to

4528
02:49:05,324 --> 02:49:05,991
the public 47 reduced numerous

4529
02:49:05,991 --> 02:49:08,391
felonies to misdemeanors and

4530
02:49:12,297 --> 02:49:12,965
sexually violent criminals

4531
02:49:12,965 --> 02:49:13,298
included speakers Tyria and

4532
02:49:13,298 --> 02:49:15,298
skelly.

4533
02:49:17,468 --> 02:49:18,236
If you can please on behalf

4534
02:49:18,236 --> 02:49:18,937
good afternoon city to City

4535
02:49:18,937 --> 02:49:21,937

02:49:24,642 --> 02:49:25,343
and Chairs fosters work in

4539
02:49:25,343 --> 02:49:28,343
preparation for the week long

4540
02:49:29,214 --> 02:49:29,881
budget meetings and to many of

4541
02:49:29,881 --> 02:49:30,548
the City Council members who

4542
02:49:30,548 --> 02:49:32,948
handled the leadership roles

4543
02:49:34,653 --> 02:49:35,320
during last week we missed

4544
02:49:35,320 --> 02:49:35,988
several of the City Council

4545
02:49:35,988 --> 02:49:36,455
members for their important

4546
02:49:36,455 --> 02:49:37,880
input last week.

4547
02:49:37,880 --> 02:49:39,488
However I appreciate those

4548
02:49:40,759 --> 02:49:41,393
comments that drew attention to

4549
02:49:41,393 --> 02:49:42,940
programs that are the core

4550
02:49:42,940 --> 02:49:45,940
responsibility of the city to

4551
02:49:47,899 --> 02:49:51,499
furnish for its citizens as a

4552
02:49:51,970 --> 02:49:52,671
planning group member And but

4553
02:49:52,671 --> 02:49:53,305
there are three downsides I

4554
02:49:53,305 --> 02:49:54,390
noticed that you were well

4555
02:49:54,390 --> 02:49:57,390
aware of obligations to protect

4556
02:49:57,676 --> 02:49:58,243
youth oriented programs youth

4557
02:49:58,243 --> 02:49:58,910
oriented facilities in

4558
02:49:58,910 --> 02:50:01,910
the Parks and Rec Department

4559
02:50:04,820 --> 02:50:04,749
and Library Program Act as

4560
02:50:04,749 --> 02:50:05,383
foundational investments in

4561
02:50:05,383 --> 02:50:07,383
community safety, economic

4562
02:50:10,422 --> 02:50:11,900
development and civic health.

4563
02:50:11,900 --> 02:50:11,723
They assist in transforming

4564
02:50:11,723 --> 02:50:12,457
young people for potential

4565
02:50:12,457 --> 02:50:14,857
service customers which they're

4566
02:50:16,528 --> 02:50:17,230
very good at into engaged

4567
02:50:17,230 --> 02:50:17,863
residents assisting in making

4568
02:50:17,863 --> 02:50:18,163
our neighborhoods safe and

4569
02:50:18,163 --> 02:50:20,163
clean.

4570
02:50:22,834 --> 02:50:23,502
The journey through middle and

4571
02:50:23,502 --> 02:50:24,103
high school into college or

4572
02:50:24,103 --> 02:50:24,670
employment or vocational

4573
02:50:24,670 --> 02:50:27,700
training it's far more

4574
02:50:28,574 --> 02:50:28,874
complicated and stressful than

4575
02:50:28,874 --> 02:50:29,742
ever.

4576
02:50:29,742 --> 02:50:30,475
So I must say as a parent that

4577
02:50:30,475 --> 02:50:33,475
it is disheartening for parents

4578
02:50:34,680 --> 02:50:35,214
to battle against marijuana

4579
02:50:35,214 --> 02:50:35,814
storefronts in their

4580
02:50:35,814 --> 02:50:36,449
neighborhoods and their

4581
02:50:36,449 --> 02:50:38,449
advertising promotions and

4582
02:50:40,819 --> 02:50:41,554
the city's billboards all

4583
02:50:41,554 --> 02:50:42,254
suggesting the use of marijuana

4584
02:50:42,254 --> 02:50:45,854
is a solution to young adults

4585
02:50:47,226 --> 02:50:47,960
Anxiety and stress now would be

4586
02:50:47,960 --> 02:50:51,290
a great time to eliminate these

4587
02:50:51,290 --> 02:50:51,730
billboards as a first step in

4588
02:50:51,730 --> 02:50:52,464
demonstrating to young people

4589
02:50:52,464 --> 02:50:56,664
that a life substance free is a

4590
02:50:58,137 --> 02:50:58,804
good choice for them.

4591
02:50:58,804 --> 02:50:59,271
Thank you for hearing my

4592
02:50:59,271 --> 02:50:59,638
concerns today.

4593
02:50:59,638 --> 02:51:00,500
Thank you.

4594
02:51:00,500 --> 02:51:02,500
Thank you.

4595
02:51:03,309 --> 02:51:03,976
Walker If you can please unmute

4596
02:51:03,976 --> 02:51:04,376
after that is Judy Strong.

4597
02:51:04,376 --> 02:51:04,776
Thank you.

4598
02:51:04,776 --> 02:51:06,776
Thank you.

4599
02:51:09,180 --> 02:51:09,748
Good afternoon And thank you

4600
02:51:09,748 --> 02:51:10,349
for approving tighter

4601
02:51:10,349 --> 02:51:10,983
regulations on marijuana

4602
02:51:10,983 --> 02:51:12,983
advertising and promotion

4603
02:51:15,210 --> 02:51:15,721
yesterday.

4604
02:51:15,721 --> 02:51:16,421
This is important to public

4605
02:51:16,421 --> 02:51:16,989
health especially in light of

4606
02:51:16,989 --> 02:51:18,989
confusion over federal

4607
02:51:21,794 --> 02:51:22,495
rescheduling which MAY

4608
02:51:22,495 --> 02:51:22,995
reinforce misconceptions about

4609
02:51:22,995 --> 02:51:24,995
marijuana safety.

4610
02:51:27,666 --> 02:51:28,367
To be clear, recreational

4611
02:51:28,367 --> 02:51:28,967
marijuana remains schedule one

4612
02:51:28,967 --> 02:51:31,367
at present and federally

4613
02:51:34,139 --> 02:51:34,874
illegal scheduling rescheduling

4614
02:51:34,874 --> 02:51:37,874
applies to fda approved non

4615
02:51:39,779 --> 02:51:40,446
intoxicating products and state

4616
02:51:40,446 --> 02:51:42,846
controlled or state approved

4617
02:51:45,451 --> 02:51:46,185
quote medical uses.

4618
02:51:46,185 --> 02:51:46,819
California allows marijuana for

4619
02:51:46,819 --> 02:51:48,819
11 medical conditions but

4620
02:51:51,891 --> 02:51:52,525
extensive research shows little

4621
02:51:52,525 --> 02:51:53,260
to no evidence it benefits

4622
02:51:53,260 --> 02:51:55,260
those conditions.

4623
02:51:57,964 --> 02:51:58,664
Open ended law also allows use

4624
02:51:58,664 --> 02:52:01,640
for conditions deemed chronic,

4625
02:52:04,137 --> 02:52:04,536
persistent or limiting daily

4626
02:52:04,536 --> 02:52:05,237
activities.

4627
02:52:05,237 --> 02:52:07,637
This essentially means medical

4628
02:52:10,209 --> 02:52:10,843
marijuana is whatever a medical

4629
02:52:10,843 --> 02:52:13,243
cardholder decides it is.

4630
02:52:16,315 --> 02:52:17,160
Those card holders pay no sales

4631
02:52:17,160 --> 02:52:17,650
tax and can buy greater

4632
02:52:17,650 --> 02:52:18,160
quantities of the same pot

4633
02:52:18,160 --> 02:52:20,160
products.

4634
02:52:22,870 --> 02:52:22,754
So this recreational leading

4635
02:52:22,754 --> 02:52:25,754
many to become quote medical

4636
02:52:28,695 --> 02:52:29,195
use a scam for sales tax free

4637
02:52:29,195 --> 02:52:31,195
recreational pot.

4638
02:52:34,266 --> 02:52:34,900
Data shows that medical izing

4639
02:52:34,900 --> 02:52:35,568
high potency marijuana has

4640
02:52:35,568 --> 02:52:37,568
produced rising addictions,

4641
02:52:39,906 --> 02:52:40,506
poisonings, E.R. Visits, dui

4642
02:52:40,506 --> 02:52:42,506
suicides and psychiatric

4643
02:52:46,713 --> 02:52:47,447
disorders contributing to this

4644
02:52:47,447 --> 02:52:48,114
problem are those marketing and

4645
02:52:48,114 --> 02:52:50,114
advertising regulations that

4646
02:52:52,919 --> 02:52:53,653
enable manufacture tours to

4647
02:52:53,653 --> 02:52:56,530
exaggerate therapeutic uses and

4648
02:52:58,591 --> 02:52:59,291
downplay harms lawsuits

4649
02:52:59,291 --> 02:53:01,291
nationwide alleging fraudulent

4650
02:53:05,698 --> 02:53:06,366
claims by industry demonstrate

4651
02:53:06,366 --> 02:53:06,966
that people are being hurt.

4652
02:53:06,966 --> 02:53:07,600
In addition to tighter

4653
02:53:07,600 --> 02:53:09,600
advertising and marketing

4654
02:53:12,738 --> 02:53:13,105
control, your time has

4655
02:53:13,105 --> 02:53:13,773
concluded.

4656
02:53:13,773 --> 02:53:16,173
>> Judy's trying to complete

4657
02:53:17,610 --> 02:53:17,927
the meal after Judy's medicine

4658
02:53:17,927 --> 02:53:18,577
.

4659
02:53:18,577 --> 02:53:19,120
>> Good afternoon San Diego

4660
02:53:19,120 --> 02:53:19,378
City Council.

4661
02:53:19,378 --> 02:53:21,378
Thank you.

4662
02:53:24,183 --> 02:53:24,851
I want to continue my thoughts

4663
02:53:24,851 --> 02:53:25,585
from this morning regarding

4664
02:53:25,585 --> 02:53:28,585
marijuana use and adult because

4665
02:53:29,889 --> 02:53:30,623
what I didn't get to share is

4666
02:53:30,623 --> 02:53:30,924
something that's been a concern

4667
02:53:30,924 --> 02:53:31,624
to us.

4668
02:53:31,624 --> 02:53:35,224
My my husband is a pharmacist

4669
02:53:35,829 --> 02:53:36,563
and he is gravely concerned as

4670
02:53:36,563 --> 02:53:37,364
all of us that are either half

4671
02:53:37,364 --> 02:53:40,364
older adults for whom we're

4672
02:53:42,268 --> 02:53:42,802
responsible or are older adults

4673
02:53:42,802 --> 02:53:43,436
ourselves regarding

4674
02:53:43,436 --> 02:53:45,436
the unfortunate dangerous

4675
02:53:48,408 --> 02:53:49,141
interactions between drugs that

4676
02:53:49,141 --> 02:53:49,843
older people take and marijuana

4677
02:53:49,843 --> 02:53:54,430
use not the least of which is

4678
02:53:54,380 --> 02:53:54,948
blood thinners, sedatives and

4679
02:53:54,948 --> 02:53:55,682
opioids used for pain.

4680
02:53:55,682 --> 02:53:58,682
The combination of these drugs

4681
02:53:59,719 --> 02:54:00,419
can either undermine

4682
02:54:00,419 --> 02:54:01,200
the effectiveness of the drugs

4683
02:54:01,200 --> 02:54:04,200
or exaggerate the use of

4684
02:54:06,250 --> 02:54:06,726
the drugs both dangerous

4685
02:54:06,726 --> 02:54:07,394
situations not to mention

4686
02:54:07,394 --> 02:54:08,940
the combination of marijuana

4687
02:54:08,940 --> 02:54:11,940
with alcohol and the problems

4688
02:54:13,330 --> 02:54:13,766
that would lead to not

4689
02:54:13,766 --> 02:54:14,467
the least of which is dangerous

4690
02:54:14,467 --> 02:54:15,135
sedation or cognitive issues.

4691
02:54:15,135 --> 02:54:18,735
A couple of more things I'm

4692
02:54:19,238 --> 02:54:19,940
going to share but I mentioned

4693
02:54:19,940 --> 02:54:20,573
it this morning and the items

4694
02:54:20,573 --> 02:54:23,573
now come from the Stanford

4695
02:54:24,478 --> 02:54:25,178
School of Medicine Fact sheet

4696
02:54:25,178 --> 02:54:25,846
They've been expressing for a

4697
02:54:25,846 --> 02:54:28,846
period of time their concern

4698
02:54:29,916 --> 02:54:30,250
about marijuana use for adults

4699
02:54:30,250 --> 02:54:31,840
.

4700
02:54:31,840 --> 02:54:31,785
They point out to us that older

4701
02:54:31,785 --> 02:54:34,185
adults metabolize drugs slower

4702
02:54:36,560 --> 02:54:36,756
so that thc and marijuana can

4703
02:54:36,756 --> 02:54:39,156
persist longer which intensify

4704
02:54:41,928 --> 02:54:42,496
side effects and of course

4705
02:54:42,496 --> 02:54:43,163
increases the risk of

4706
02:54:43,163 --> 02:54:45,163
accidental overconsumption.

4707
02:54:47,734 --> 02:54:48,335
They also point out the concern

4708
02:54:48,335 --> 02:54:48,735
they have with cognitive

4709
02:54:48,735 --> 02:54:49,469
impairment.

4710
02:54:49,469 --> 02:54:53,539
Some of that MAY already be age

4711
02:54:53,539 --> 02:54:54,240
related.

4712
02:54:54,240 --> 02:54:54,908
However marijuana exaggerates

4713
02:54:54,908 --> 02:54:55,509
that and the need for memory

4714
02:54:55,509 --> 02:54:57,509
attention and executive

4715
02:55:00,414 --> 02:55:01,113
function was never more

4716
02:55:01,113 --> 02:55:01,782
necessary than in older adult

4717
02:55:01,782 --> 02:55:04,782
and to have that interfered

4718
02:55:05,552 --> 02:55:06,453
with by marijuana is a reason

4719
02:55:06,453 --> 02:55:07,860
for all of us to be concerned

4720
02:55:07,860 --> 02:55:07,654
not the least of which we

4721
02:55:07,654 --> 02:55:10,540
should also care about

4722
02:55:12,590 --> 02:55:12,759
the mental confusion,

4723
02:55:12,759 --> 02:55:13,426
the anxiety paranoia that can

4724
02:55:13,426 --> 02:55:13,860
occur with marijuana use by

4725
02:55:13,860 --> 02:55:15,860
older adults.

4726
02:55:17,897 --> 02:55:18,432
Cautiousness is the name of

4727
02:55:18,432 --> 02:55:19,980
the game Access and

4728
02:55:19,980 --> 02:55:19,700
availability and advertising

4729
02:55:19,700 --> 02:55:22,100
needs to be controlled.

4730
02:55:25,338 --> 02:55:26,390
Thank you included medicine If

4731
02:55:26,390 --> 02:55:26,774
you can please let me know

4732
02:55:26,774 --> 02:55:29,174
after medicine is clarification

4733
02:55:29,643 --> 02:55:30,444
and then I'm all right.

4734
02:55:30,444 --> 02:55:34,440
Thank you and thanks again for

4735
02:55:35,149 --> 02:55:35,849
the opportunity to listen to

4736
02:55:35,849 --> 02:55:36,583
the public Speaking today I'd

4737
02:55:36,583 --> 02:55:37,184
like to highlight an issue that

4738
02:55:37,184 --> 02:55:39,584
applies to nicotine and

4739
02:55:41,855 --> 02:55:42,589
marijuana products which is

4740
02:55:42,589 --> 02:55:43,256
the environmental and hazardous

4741
02:55:43,256 --> 02:55:46,256
waste impact of smoking And

4742
02:55:47,494 --> 02:55:47,794
deep in lips are hazardous

4743
02:55:47,794 --> 02:55:48,495
waste.

4744
02:55:48,495 --> 02:55:49,196
They contain lithium batteries

4745
02:55:49,196 --> 02:55:52,796
that can spark fires in parks

4746
02:55:53,500 --> 02:55:54,201
and trash systems.

4747
02:55:54,201 --> 02:55:54,902
They contain nicotine, thc and

4748
02:55:54,902 --> 02:55:57,902
other chemicals that can reach

4749
02:55:58,973 --> 02:55:59,673
into our soil and waterways.

4750
02:55:59,673 --> 02:56:00,374
And because they are made of

4751
02:56:00,374 --> 02:56:02,774
mixed materials plastic metal,

4752
02:56:05,679 --> 02:56:06,313
electronics they are extremely

4753
02:56:06,313 --> 02:56:06,646
difficult to break down or

4754
02:56:06,646 --> 02:56:07,315
recycle.

4755
02:56:07,315 --> 02:56:10,915
The volume of this waste is

4756
02:56:11,652 --> 02:56:12,352
growing and our schools are on

4757
02:56:12,352 --> 02:56:12,953
the frontline of this problem.

4758
02:56:12,953 --> 02:56:14,953
Every day administrators

4759
02:56:17,191 --> 02:56:17,557
confiscate vape devices from

4760
02:56:17,557 --> 02:56:18,292
students.

4761
02:56:18,292 --> 02:56:18,992
Sometimes they have hundreds at

4762
02:56:18,992 --> 02:56:23,192
a time and are storing them in

4763
02:56:23,330 --> 02:56:24,310
boxes often without clear

4764
02:56:24,310 --> 02:56:24,765
guidance That creates risks of

4765
02:56:24,765 --> 02:56:27,165
fire hazards, chemical exposure

4766
02:56:29,603 --> 02:56:30,337
and liability Schools are being

4767
02:56:30,337 --> 02:56:31,710
asked to manage hazardous waste

4768
02:56:31,710 --> 02:56:33,710
without standardized protocols,

4769
02:56:35,341 --> 02:56:36,760
without proper storage systems

4770
02:56:36,760 --> 02:56:36,743
and without consistent support.

4771
02:56:36,743 --> 02:56:39,743
But there is an opportunity

4772
02:56:41,948 --> 02:56:42,550
here because many young people

4773
02:56:42,550 --> 02:56:43,183
today care deeply about

4774
02:56:43,183 --> 02:56:43,751
the environment when they

4775
02:56:43,751 --> 02:56:45,751
understand that vaping

4776
02:56:47,922 --> 02:56:48,656
contributes to pollution, fire

4777
02:56:48,656 --> 02:56:49,156
risk and toxic waste it changes

4778
02:56:49,156 --> 02:56:51,156
the conversation.

4779
02:56:53,527 --> 02:56:54,228
It becomes not just a health

4780
02:56:54,228 --> 02:56:54,928
issue but an environmental one

4781
02:56:54,928 --> 02:56:57,328
And that connection increases

4782
02:56:59,200 --> 02:56:59,900
awareness and engagement.

4783
02:56:59,900 --> 02:57:00,567
We can support clear citywide

4784
02:57:00,567 --> 02:57:02,967
regional protocols for safe

4785
02:57:05,573 --> 02:57:06,239
disposal of these products.

4786
02:57:06,239 --> 02:57:06,841
We can explore partnerships

4787
02:57:06,841 --> 02:57:09,241
with hazardous waste and

4788
02:57:11,245 --> 02:57:11,912
recycling providers and most

4789
02:57:11,912 --> 02:57:12,613
importantly we can invest in

4790
02:57:12,613 --> 02:57:15,130
prevention especially in those

4791
02:57:17,451 --> 02:57:18,850
upper elementary and middle

4792
02:57:18,850 --> 02:57:18,818
school grades and focus on

4793
02:57:18,818 --> 02:57:21,818
their decision making long term

4794
02:57:22,893 --> 02:57:23,256
consequences and peer to peer

4795
02:57:23,256 --> 02:57:23,925
education.

4796
02:57:23,925 --> 02:57:24,625
Let's please make choices to

4797
02:57:24,625 --> 02:57:27,625
protect not only public health

4798
02:57:31,265 --> 02:57:31,598
but to protect our environment

4799
02:57:31,598 --> 02:57:31,966
as well.

4800
02:57:31,966 --> 02:57:32,366
Thank you.

4801
02:57:32,366 --> 02:57:33,401
Thank you.

4802
02:57:33,401 --> 02:57:34,936
Next is Blair in if you can

4803
02:57:34,936 --> 02:57:35,636
please unmute after that is

4804
02:57:35,636 --> 02:57:36,270
7499 and then Hector the five

4805
02:57:36,270 --> 02:57:39,270
and the timer did conclude

4806
02:57:39,974 --> 02:57:40,641
before speakers in the queue No

4807
02:57:40,641 --> 02:57:40,941
additional speakers will be

4808
02:57:40,941 --> 02:57:41,542
taken.

4809
02:57:41,542 --> 02:57:41,909
>> Blair Please proceed.

4810
02:57:41,909 --> 02:57:42,276
All right.

4811
02:57:42,276 --> 02:57:44,276
Thank you.

4812
02:57:45,450 --> 02:57:45,746
Beakman.

4813
02:57:45,746 --> 02:57:46,447
As part of the budget items

4814
02:57:46,447 --> 02:57:50,470
from last week, I also wanted

4815
02:57:51,953 --> 02:57:52,619
to ask the question I spoke at

4816
02:57:52,619 --> 02:57:53,200
public comment yesterday on

4817
02:57:53,200 --> 02:57:53,688
such things.

4818
02:57:53,688 --> 02:57:57,288
Today I wanted to ask more

4819
02:57:57,492 --> 02:57:58,920
about on the Friday meeting

4820
02:57:58,920 --> 02:58:00,492
the Police review board.

4821
02:58:04,198 --> 02:58:07,798
I'm sorry I don't quite know

4822
02:58:09,737 --> 02:58:10,637
their name still yet but their

4823
02:58:10,637 --> 02:58:11,500
you know their new name I do

4824
02:58:11,500 --> 02:58:13,500
not know.

4825
02:58:15,276 --> 02:58:15,942
They were supposed to give a

4826
02:58:15,942 --> 02:58:16,611
presentation and they didn't

4827
02:58:16,611 --> 02:58:20,211
give one and it was excused.

4828
02:58:21,490 --> 02:58:21,749
>> You know they're going

4829
02:58:21,749 --> 02:58:22,500
through some pretty difficult

4830
02:58:22,500 --> 02:58:22,716
times.

4831
02:58:22,716 --> 02:58:25,716
I'm understanding it's not a

4832
02:58:26,820 --> 02:58:27,522
cakewalk for them right now And

4833
02:58:27,522 --> 02:58:28,890
I think a public process for

4834
02:58:28,890 --> 02:58:30,489
everyone would be much

4835
02:58:32,626 --> 02:58:33,427
appreciated and understood as

4836
02:58:33,427 --> 02:58:37,270
you know, what needs to be

4837
02:58:38,366 --> 02:58:39,330
addressed And I can understand

4838
02:58:39,330 --> 02:58:39,767
that people want to kind of

4839
02:58:39,767 --> 02:58:43,967
keep a bit secluded and work it

4840
02:58:44,606 --> 02:58:45,173
out privately and that's

4841
02:58:45,173 --> 02:58:45,974
understandable to you.

4842
02:58:45,974 --> 02:58:46,740
But I I'm not fully around them

4843
02:58:46,740 --> 02:58:50,340
all the time but I'm hearing

4844
02:58:50,512 --> 02:58:51,279
kind of sad stories of what's

4845
02:58:51,279 --> 02:58:51,913
going on with them and I need

4846
02:58:51,913 --> 02:58:54,313
to better understand what

4847
02:58:56,484 --> 02:58:57,152
they're going through And I

4848
02:58:57,152 --> 02:58:57,785
think, you know, them going

4849
02:58:57,785 --> 02:58:58,386
through the budget process

4850
02:58:58,386 --> 02:59:00,786
would be really helpful.

4851
02:59:02,790 --> 02:59:03,457
Can they be rescheduled for an

4852
02:59:03,457 --> 02:59:04,192
open public process I think

4853
02:59:04,192 --> 02:59:07,192
would be beneficial to everyone

4854
02:59:08,129 --> 02:59:08,862
of the community.

4855
02:59:08,862 --> 02:59:09,531
And I've written letters asking

4856
02:59:09,531 --> 02:59:12,531
such questions Good luck and

4857
02:59:14,101 --> 02:59:14,869
such efforts.

4858
02:59:14,869 --> 02:59:18,469
Good luck that we renamed Cesar

4859
02:59:19,874 --> 02:59:20,575
Chavez Time in doing so I hope

4860
02:59:20,575 --> 02:59:21,242
we can really acknowledge what

4861
02:59:21,242 --> 02:59:24,242
people like Andrea are going

4862
02:59:26,181 --> 02:59:26,881
through right now not just with

4863
02:59:26,881 --> 02:59:27,248
police deescalation issues but

4864
02:59:27,248 --> 02:59:27,949
with ems.

4865
02:59:27,949 --> 02:59:31,618
What was going on with the ems

4866
02:59:31,618 --> 02:59:32,219
as well that we need to be

4867
02:59:32,219 --> 02:59:34,219
asking questions about.

4868
02:59:37,392 --> 02:59:38,126
And I had one more item of

4869
02:59:38,126 --> 02:59:41,126
concern with eight seconds left

4870
02:59:43,898 --> 02:59:44,699
that my brain isn't coming up

4871
02:59:44,699 --> 02:59:45,660
with it so I have to wait.

4872
02:59:45,660 --> 02:59:45,433
>> Thanks.

4873
02:59:45,433 --> 02:59:47,433
Thank you.

4874
02:59:48,370 --> 02:59:49,400
Next 27499 if you can please

4875
02:59:49,400 --> 02:59:52,400
unmute and the sector and

4876
02:59:53,208 --> 02:59:53,508
the gambler 7499 Bob Brzezinski

4877
02:59:53,508 --> 02:59:55,508
here.

4878
02:59:58,460 --> 02:59:58,713
First I'd like to comment on

4879
02:59:58,713 --> 02:59:59,214
the video that I showed this

4880
02:59:59,214 --> 03:00:01,214
council yesterday.

4881
03:00:02,316 --> 03:00:02,951
That video was taken one week

4882
03:00:02,951 --> 03:00:03,718
ago today and it reflects

4883
03:00:03,718 --> 03:00:06,718
nearly nine years of free

4884
03:00:08,890 --> 03:00:09,557
flying access at a popular

4885
03:00:09,557 --> 03:00:10,291
public popular coastal hang

4886
03:00:10,291 --> 03:00:13,891
gliding site right in the heart

4887
03:00:14,529 --> 03:00:15,296
of Los Angeles.

4888
03:00:15,296 --> 03:00:18,330
Joe LaCava knows very well that

4889
03:00:18,330 --> 03:00:18,899
we've been flying under a

4890
03:00:18,899 --> 03:00:19,635
simple one page waiver at that

4891
03:00:19,635 --> 03:00:22,635
site in Los Angeles since 2017.

4892
03:00:24,673 --> 03:00:25,373
Yet he's refused to entertain

4893
03:00:25,373 --> 03:00:26,410
that same idea at Torrey Pines

4894
03:00:26,410 --> 03:00:29,410
because he wants to protect

4895
03:00:30,579 --> 03:00:31,279
that business and their iron

4896
03:00:31,279 --> 03:00:32,146
control of our city park land.

4897
03:00:32,146 --> 03:00:35,146
It's shameful and I'll continue

4898
03:00:37,753 --> 03:00:38,486
speaking on that in the future.

4899
03:00:38,486 --> 03:00:41,890
Second, I want to address Mr.

4900
03:00:41,890 --> 03:00:42,557
La Rivera's ridiculous comments

4901
03:00:42,557 --> 03:00:43,258
yesterday trying to deny

4902
03:00:43,258 --> 03:00:43,959
the obvious connection between

4903
03:00:43,959 --> 03:00:46,359
San Diego's illegal population

4904
03:00:48,297 --> 03:00:48,964
growth and its effect on our

4905
03:00:48,964 --> 03:00:49,330
water shortages and housing

4906
03:00:49,330 --> 03:00:51,330
shortages.

4907
03:00:53,902 --> 03:00:54,403
I don't know how stupid a

4908
03:00:54,403 --> 03:00:55,136
person has to be.

4909
03:00:55,136 --> 03:00:58,736
Do not recognize on its face

4910
03:01:00,442 --> 03:01:01,142
that both water shortages and

4911
03:01:01,142 --> 03:01:01,777
housing shortages are a direct

4912
03:01:01,777 --> 03:01:03,777
consequence of population.

4913
03:01:06,882 --> 03:01:07,649
Anyone who has taken economics

4914
03:01:07,649 --> 03:01:08,283
one on one should know that

4915
03:01:08,283 --> 03:01:08,983
it's the supply and demand

4916
03:01:08,983 --> 03:01:11,983
curves that dictate the prices

4917
03:01:13,188 --> 03:01:13,755
and quantities of everything

4918
03:01:13,755 --> 03:01:14,556
from apples to acres.

4919
03:01:14,556 --> 03:01:17,556
Neither land nor water are

4920
03:01:19,940 --> 03:01:19,828
manufactured so they do not

4921
03:01:19,828 --> 03:01:22,828
benefit from economies of scale

4922
03:01:25,340 --> 03:01:25,366
as implied by MR. De la Rivera

4923
03:01:25,366 --> 03:01:26,201
.

4924
03:01:26,201 --> 03:01:26,701
But I don't think MR. De La

4925
03:01:26,701 --> 03:01:27,469
Rivera is stupid.

4926
03:01:27,469 --> 03:01:31,340
In fact I think he's very smart

4927
03:01:31,340 --> 03:01:32,410
but he thinks that citizens are

4928
03:01:32,410 --> 03:01:32,775
stupid He thinks will continue

4929
03:01:32,775 --> 03:01:36,375
to believe whatever he tells us

4930
03:01:36,845 --> 03:01:37,546
because he's gotten away with

4931
03:01:37,546 --> 03:01:38,213
it for so long now.

4932
03:01:38,213 --> 03:01:38,881
I'm sorry MR. Emilio Rivera,

4933
03:01:38,881 --> 03:01:42,481
but I'm going to continue to

4934
03:01:43,520 --> 03:01:43,819
shine a light into every dark

4935
03:01:43,819 --> 03:01:44,453
corner of the city I can find

4936
03:01:44,453 --> 03:01:45,120
until this council finally

4937
03:01:45,120 --> 03:01:45,487
remembers who you're here to

4938
03:01:45,487 --> 03:01:47,487
represent.

4939
03:01:49,725 --> 03:01:50,426
I would rather spend my

4940
03:01:50,426 --> 03:01:50,893
retirement years hang gliding

4941
03:01:50,893 --> 03:01:51,560
at Torrey Pines.

4942
03:01:51,560 --> 03:01:55,564
But you and the rest of this

4943
03:01:55,564 --> 03:01:56,332
council are precluding that.

4944
03:01:56,332 --> 03:01:56,699
>> So here I am.

4945
03:01:56,699 --> 03:01:57,166
Thank you.

4946
03:01:57,166 --> 03:01:59,166
Next is Hector.

4947
03:02:01,670 --> 03:02:02,337
If you can please unmute.

4948
03:02:02,337 --> 03:02:02,638
Well, thanks for taking my

4949
03:02:02,638 --> 03:02:03,505
call.

4950
03:02:03,505 --> 03:02:07,105
Yeah, just this morning was a

4951
03:02:08,430 --> 03:02:08,711
classic example of the city

4952
03:02:08,711 --> 03:02:09,645
trying to blow stuff by us.

4953
03:02:09,645 --> 03:02:13,845
When that one lady came up with

4954
03:02:14,650 --> 03:02:15,383
a mask on and she said Oh

4955
03:02:15,383 --> 03:02:16,850
that's just we're going to have

4956
03:02:16,850 --> 03:02:19,685
the car saying it's it's cool.

4957
03:02:20,322 --> 03:02:21,560
Don't worry.

4958
03:02:21,560 --> 03:02:21,724
And I think the COUNCILWOMAN

4959
03:02:21,724 --> 03:02:25,324
Had the ears to listen which

4960
03:02:26,762 --> 03:02:27,496
you heard.

4961
03:02:27,496 --> 03:02:27,930
She spoke up and that's how

4962
03:02:27,930 --> 03:02:28,631
we're feeling.

4963
03:02:28,631 --> 03:02:31,934
It could be anyone that comes

4964
03:02:31,934 --> 03:02:32,901
up there with the mayor.

4965
03:02:32,901 --> 03:02:37,701
You got to look with a grain of

4966
03:02:38,540 --> 03:02:39,275
salt and like a bullhorn, you

4967
03:02:39,275 --> 03:02:40,900
know, just because it's driving

4968
03:02:40,900 --> 03:02:44,209
us, it's like a half supply And

4969
03:02:45,381 --> 03:02:46,480
a lot of you guys on

4970
03:02:46,480 --> 03:02:46,849
the council group and stuff.

4971
03:02:46,849 --> 03:02:50,419
So you guys learn how to tell

4972
03:02:50,419 --> 03:02:50,720
half truths with the best of

4973
03:02:50,720 --> 03:02:51,419
them.

4974
03:02:51,419 --> 03:02:52,200
And plus if you're your lawyer

4975
03:02:52,200 --> 03:02:54,420
that's what lawyers do.

4976
03:02:55,858 --> 03:02:56,224
They shape, conceal and reveal

4977
03:02:56,224 --> 03:02:56,726
the truth.

4978
03:02:56,726 --> 03:02:58,726
That's their job.

4979
03:03:04,100 --> 03:03:04,699
So that's a double whammy as

4980
03:03:04,699 --> 03:03:05,434
far as a liar goes.

4981
03:03:05,434 --> 03:03:05,900
I have proof Liars that half

4982
03:03:05,900 --> 03:03:07,900
truth Liar man.

4983
03:03:08,503 --> 03:03:09,138
But you just they usually smile

4984
03:03:09,138 --> 03:03:12,138
and they're lying to you.

4985
03:03:14,643 --> 03:03:15,311
But anyway, we've been through

4986
03:03:15,311 --> 03:03:15,812
like the last 4 or 5 years

4987
03:03:15,812 --> 03:03:17,812
total lawlessness.

4988
03:03:19,515 --> 03:03:20,249
People steal and we're just

4989
03:03:20,249 --> 03:03:21,500
trying to come up with the laws

4990
03:03:21,500 --> 03:03:24,650
pertaining to who gets a free

4991
03:03:25,788 --> 03:03:26,489
pass The governor's lie And

4992
03:03:26,489 --> 03:03:27,256
every time he opens his mouth

4993
03:03:27,256 --> 03:03:30,856
you know the mayor is Todd

4994
03:03:32,950 --> 03:03:34,950
Gloria Bill 2.0.

4995
03:03:36,899 --> 03:03:37,600
We got to fire 2000 city

4996
03:03:37,600 --> 03:03:38,334
employees, take the money and

4997
03:03:38,334 --> 03:03:42,534
for the young kids to have them

4998
03:03:42,905 --> 03:03:43,673
take the bus to work No more

4999
03:03:43,673 --> 03:03:47,873
city cars, take the bus to work

5000
03:03:50,246 --> 03:03:50,646
and the trolley will buy on

5001
03:03:50,646 --> 03:03:51,313
the trolley.

5002
03:03:51,313 --> 03:03:51,914
That's the budget that will

5003
03:03:51,914 --> 03:03:54,914
save the city a bundle.

5004
03:03:55,317 --> 03:03:56,119
We got all sorts of ideas, man,

5005
03:03:56,119 --> 03:03:56,618
but it's got to take it a day

5006
03:03:56,618 --> 03:03:56,919
at a time, man.

5007
03:03:56,919 --> 03:03:58,919
Okay.

5008
03:03:59,655 --> 03:04:00,156
Good luck to you guys.

5009
03:04:00,156 --> 03:04:01,900
>> Good luck.

5010
03:04:01,900 --> 03:04:05,290
And The Gambler if you can you

5011
03:04:07,230 --> 03:04:10,230
please when you're done doing

5012
03:04:12,301 --> 03:04:13,268
the final lovely day.

5013
03:04:13,268 --> 03:04:14,370
I know you want to go ahead and

5014
03:04:14,370 --> 03:04:18,107
get us out of the car but you

5015
03:04:18,107 --> 03:04:18,708
have no problem going in and

5016
03:04:18,708 --> 03:04:19,409
doing that and pulling.

5017
03:04:19,409 --> 03:04:20,109
You know you guys were trying

5018
03:04:20,109 --> 03:04:24,180
to and that's why you want to

5019
03:04:24,180 --> 03:04:24,980
go ahead and pass that You are

5020
03:04:24,980 --> 03:04:28,580
forced to vote on issues and

5021
03:04:29,886 --> 03:04:30,185
kind of so you flat out said it

5022
03:04:30,185 --> 03:04:30,953
today.

5023
03:04:30,953 --> 03:04:31,654
Matter of fact I'm going around

5024
03:04:31,654 --> 03:04:35,254
and posted it and whoever is

5025
03:04:36,258 --> 03:04:37,600
running for election and

5026
03:04:37,600 --> 03:04:37,694
telling them if you can tell

5027
03:04:37,694 --> 03:04:41,294
the students I gave them a

5028
03:04:41,531 --> 03:04:41,897
video on how this came up in an

5029
03:04:41,897 --> 03:04:42,565
envelope.

5030
03:04:42,565 --> 03:04:43,299
I also basically pointed out

5031
03:04:43,299 --> 03:04:46,899
that you could collect as many

5032
03:04:47,700 --> 03:04:47,836
unused votes have humanly

5033
03:04:47,836 --> 03:04:51,436
possible and then go around and

5034
03:04:54,176 --> 03:04:54,844
harvest ballots, steam them

5035
03:04:54,844 --> 03:04:55,478
open takes about 30s and you

5036
03:04:55,478 --> 03:04:57,878
could switch the contents.

5037
03:05:00,450 --> 03:05:00,984
This is a complete crime and it

5038
03:05:00,984 --> 03:05:01,918
should be looked at.

5039
03:05:01,918 --> 03:05:04,821
Matter of fact I think we

5040
03:05:04,821 --> 03:05:05,688
discovered this back in the 80.

5041
03:05:05,688 --> 03:05:09,888
Now it's funny when I take a

5042
03:05:10,794 --> 03:05:11,528
look at my supervisor you guys

5043
03:05:11,528 --> 03:05:12,610
up there and I realize that you

5044
03:05:12,610 --> 03:05:12,662
guys work for these

5045
03:05:12,662 --> 03:05:15,620
organizations that I was

5046
03:05:16,232 --> 03:05:17,100
discovered in 80s and 90s We

5047
03:05:17,100 --> 03:05:21,300
decided to create that can be a

5048
03:05:22,305 --> 03:05:22,939
regulator that protects

5049
03:05:22,939 --> 03:05:23,239
the people committing that

5050
03:05:23,239 --> 03:05:25,239
fraud.

5051
03:05:28,278 --> 03:05:28,979
So you can collect ballots and

5052
03:05:28,979 --> 03:05:31,979
steam them open and switch

5053
03:05:35,385 --> 03:05:36,190
contexts or be a bucket list

5054
03:05:36,190 --> 03:05:38,419
distribution card so that

5055
03:05:40,790 --> 03:05:41,570
people are not watching this

5056
03:05:41,570 --> 03:05:41,791
And.

5057
03:05:41,791 --> 03:05:42,525
I mean it's not like we're

5058
03:05:42,525 --> 03:05:45,525
going to actually check because

5059
03:05:45,962 --> 03:05:46,596
we love lawlessness and San

5060
03:05:46,596 --> 03:05:48,996
Diego County actually will

5061
03:05:52,301 --> 03:05:53,360
crush it because well why do we

5062
03:05:53,360 --> 03:05:56,636
need bike lanes going to places

5063
03:05:57,807 --> 03:05:58,508
that people can go just to

5064
03:05:58,508 --> 03:05:58,975
waste money and get a little

5065
03:05:58,975 --> 03:05:59,609
bit extra catch?

5066
03:05:59,609 --> 03:06:03,809
Why do we do that in hotel

5067
03:06:04,381 --> 03:06:05,810
rooms and charge what a garbage

5068
03:06:05,810 --> 03:06:08,681
amount of money and then they

5069
03:06:10,353 --> 03:06:10,686
bring an empty income housing

5070
03:06:10,686 --> 03:06:11,521
Right.

5071
03:06:11,521 --> 03:06:15,121
>> Why is it that the homeless

5072
03:06:16,193 --> 03:06:17,600
and city has concluded and let

5073
03:06:17,600 --> 03:06:17,394

5074
03:06:17,394 --> 03:06:18,610

5234
03:11:08,520 --> 03:11:09,386
The bonds would not constitute

5235
03:11:09,386 --> 03:11:09,954
a debt of the city If bonds are

5236
03:11:09,954 --> 03:11:10,688
ultimately issued for

5237
03:11:10,688 --> 03:11:13,992
the project, the bonds will not

5238
03:11:13,992 --> 03:11:14,593
financially obligate the city

Yes, it seems nice what you

5272
03:12:17,121 --> 03:12:17,922
guys are doing but the problem

5273
03:12:17,922 --> 03:12:21,522
is these entities that you guys

5274
03:12:22,927 --> 03:12:23,627
contract with can come in and

5275
03:12:23,627 --> 03:12:24,329
give you false reporting, give

5276
03:12:24,329 --> 03:12:27,899
you know, come in and want to

5277
03:12:27,899 --> 03:12:28,533
get these contracts with

5278
03:12:28,533 --> 03:12:29,201
the government to provide

5279
03:12:29,201 --> 03:12:29,935
affordable housing but they

5280
03:12:29,935 --> 03:12:33,505
engage in fraud in doing it And

5281
03:12:33,505 --> 03:12:34,105
it's unfortunate because people

5282
03:12:34,105 --> 03:12:34,739
are waiting for housing.

5283
03:12:34,739 --> 03:12:37,739

5284
03:12:39,411 --> 03:12:40,780
the fact that this is it's a

5285
03:12:40,780 --> 03:12:40,879
business to, you know, do

5286
03:12:40,879 --> 03:12:43,279
whatever is happening in

5287
03:12:45,250 --> 03:12:48,250
the city And it's unfortunate

5288
03:12:51,523 --> 03:12:52,223
because people like are

5289
03:12:52,223 --> 03:12:52,925
expecting you guys to provide

5290
03:12:52,925 --> 03:12:53,659
something not engage in fraud,

5291
03:12:53,659 --> 03:12:57,259
waste and abuse And that's what

5292
03:12:57,295 --> 03:12:57,996
happens many times, especially

5293
03:12:57,996 --> 03:12:58,730
when people are tax exempt for

5294
03:12:58,730 --> 03:13:01,730
providing this type of housing.

5295
03:13:03,335 --> 03:13:04,360
They can go ahead and you know,

5296
03:13:04,360 --> 03:13:04,902
put a couple of apartments or

5297
03:13:04,902 --> 03:13:09,102
homes up for rent for a certain

5298
03:13:09,608 --> 03:13:10,242
amount But get the full cost

5299
03:13:10,242 --> 03:13:10,642
through all of their other

5300
03:13:10,642 --> 03:13:11,376
apartments.

5301
03:13:11,376 --> 03:13:15,576
So it's just sad that this kind

5302
03:13:16,248 --> 03:13:16,915
of stuff can take place when

5303
03:13:16,915 --> 03:13:17,549
people are really, you know,

5304
03:13:17,549 --> 03:13:18,216
hoping that your going to

5305
03:13:18,216 --> 03:13:20,285
provide what you're saying.

5306
03:13:20,285 --> 03:13:20,886
Thank you first one So 331

5307
03:13:20,886 --> 03:13:21,453
going remotely starting

5308
03:13:21,453 --> 03:13:22,153
the five minute timer

5309
03:13:22,153 --> 03:13:25,753
the gambler if you can please

5310
03:13:27,359 --> 03:13:29,759
unmute bespoke speaking on 331

5311
03:13:32,998 --> 03:13:33,599
or 3 30 let's go ahead and get

5312
03:13:33,599 --> 03:13:34,133
some straight some stuff

5313
03:13:34,133 --> 03:13:36,133
straight about this.

5314
03:13:38,236 --> 03:13:39,400
>> Are you speaking on what

5315
03:13:39,400 --> 03:13:42,604
Absolutely Or you can figure it

5316
03:13:44,209 --> 03:13:44,843
out So what I was going to

5317
03:13:44,843 --> 03:13:45,544
talking about about these

5318
03:13:45,544 --> 03:13:46,780
friggin buildings that you're

5319
03:13:46,780 --> 03:13:46,744
doing you guys are.

5320
03:13:46,744 --> 03:13:47,813
I know why you're doing it.

5321
03:13:47,813 --> 03:13:50,813
You're doing it because of

5322
03:13:54,120 --> 03:13:54,886
Proposition 13 housing.

5323
03:13:54,886 --> 03:13:55,588
You know the income tax I mean

5324
03:13:55,588 --> 03:13:59,188
property tax and you walk in

5325
03:13:59,624 --> 03:14:00,425
the value so you don't have

5326
03:14:00,425 --> 03:14:00,926
enough money to go ahead and

5327
03:14:00,926 --> 03:14:01,760
pay for the roads.

5328
03:14:01,760 --> 03:14:05,197
So what you go ahead and do is

5329
03:14:05,197 --> 03:14:05,965
you keep on rebuilding the same

5330
03:14:05,965 --> 03:14:06,664
type of deal and to increase

5331
03:14:06,664 --> 03:14:10,264
the taxes you could get off

5332
03:14:11,837 --> 03:14:12,537
that property.

5333
03:14:12,537 --> 03:14:13,172
And when you say nonprofit

5334
03:14:13,172 --> 03:14:13,806
organization building 11,

5335
03:14:13,806 --> 03:14:16,806
you're going to give them

5336
03:14:18,611 --> 03:14:19,311
the building to go ahead and

5337
03:14:19,311 --> 03:14:20,120
manage it and collect all that

5338
03:14:20,120 --> 03:14:20,412
money that is not going to be

5339
03:14:20,412 --> 03:14:22,412
profit you.

5340
03:14:23,115 --> 03:14:23,782
That is a for profit company

5341
03:14:23,782 --> 03:14:24,583
posing as a nonprofit so you

5342
03:14:24,583 --> 03:14:28,183
could go ahead and take himself

5343
03:14:28,854 --> 03:14:29,422
on the back.

5344
03:14:29,422 --> 03:14:31,422
>> How much?

5345
03:14:33,758 --> 03:14:34,460
But the reason why we do the 15

5346
03:14:34,460 --> 03:14:35,194
minute settings is because you

5347
03:14:35,194 --> 03:14:35,594
don't have the money to it from

5348
03:14:35,594 --> 03:14:37,594
the street.

5349
03:14:40,699 --> 03:14:41,466
Am I correct?

5350
03:14:41,466 --> 03:14:42,168
Of course you're not going to

5351
03:14:42,168 --> 03:14:42,902
go to the top because you guys

5352
03:14:42,902 --> 03:14:45,204
have been so so far up there

5353
03:14:45,204 --> 03:14:45,871
and you don't even know

5354
03:14:45,871 --> 03:14:46,338
the difference between night

5355
03:14:46,338 --> 03:14:48,338
and day anymore.

5356
03:14:51,677 --> 03:14:52,277
Why don't you go ahead and what

5357
03:14:52,277 --> 03:14:52,978
can we around technology

5358
03:14:52,978 --> 03:14:55,978
recycle plastic, get the money

5359
03:15:00,190 --> 03:15:04,219
to go instead of in the suburb

5360
03:15:05,910 --> 03:15:05,858
You have give me a call because

5361
03:15:05,858 --> 03:15:06,158
I think you've got to deal with

5362
03:15:06,158 --> 03:15:08,158
this.

5363
03:15:09,950 --> 03:15:09,862
So pretend that you're calling

5364
03:15:09,862 --> 03:15:10,663
Mitie and you can do it.

5365
03:15:10,663 --> 03:15:13,663
>> I cannot wait until people

5366
03:15:14,967 --> 03:15:15,701
snap and it's going to be

5367
03:15:15,701 --> 03:15:16,335
because of you guys and they're

5368
03:15:16,335 --> 03:15:16,635
not going to step on each

5369
03:15:16,635 --> 03:15:17,371
other.

5370
03:15:17,371 --> 03:15:20,971
They're going to be going after

5371
03:15:21,400 --> 03:15:21,574
the people in charge when that

5372
03:15:21,574 --> 03:15:22,308
happens because you

5373
03:15:22,308 --> 03:15:24,708
overextended your boundary, I'm

5374
03:15:26,679 --> 03:15:27,580
going to be against celebrating

5375
03:15:27,580 --> 03:15:28,140
That is what is going to happen

5376
03:15:28,140 --> 03:15:28,547
on my behalf.

5377
03:15:28,547 --> 03:15:31,547
You want to do it?

5378
03:15:34,386 --> 03:15:35,121
You don't take that as a turn.

5379
03:15:35,121 --> 03:15:38,721
I'm taking telling you that as

5380
03:15:39,910 --> 03:15:39,926
a warning You continue this

5381
03:15:39,926 --> 03:15:42,895
and you guys are punked beyond

5382
03:15:42,895 --> 03:15:43,229
people Your time has concluded

5383
03:15:43,229 --> 03:15:45,229
.

5384
03:15:49,502 --> 03:15:50,300
Next is Blair Good by Blair Big

5385
03:15:50,300 --> 03:15:52,403
man I'm not really

5386
03:15:55,307 --> 03:15:55,908
understanding this item so I'm

5387
03:15:55,908 --> 03:15:56,275
just kind of sitting and

5388
03:15:56,275 --> 03:15:56,908
listening.

5389
03:15:56,908 --> 03:15:59,908
I always like the gamblers

5390
03:16:01,114 --> 03:16:01,814
words and ideas on items.

5391
03:16:01,814 --> 03:16:02,514
He always has an interesting

5392
03:16:02,514 --> 03:16:05,514
perspective and point of view.

5393
03:16:07,860 --> 03:16:07,720
I hope he speaks on future

5394
03:16:07,720 --> 03:16:08,454
public comment that he can

5395
03:16:08,454 --> 03:16:12,540
offer a little more decorum and

5396
03:16:14,226 --> 03:16:15,270
a middle road and how to use

5397
03:16:15,270 --> 03:16:15,728
language and to share his good

5398
03:16:15,728 --> 03:16:18,932
ideas and that he doesn't have

5399
03:16:18,932 --> 03:16:19,632
to use so many explica dos i

5400
03:16:19,632 --> 03:16:20,333
know freedom of speech is

5401
03:16:20,333 --> 03:16:21,340
important but I like the idea

5402
03:16:21,340 --> 03:16:24,340
of public meeting decorum and

5403
03:16:24,637 --> 03:16:25,238
there's a middle ground where

5404
03:16:25,238 --> 03:16:25,972
we can all respect.

5405
03:16:25,972 --> 03:16:26,673
We have standards and hopefully

5406
03:16:26,673 --> 03:16:30,873
it can be respected as much as

5407
03:16:31,144 --> 03:16:31,811
can as it can.

5408
03:16:31,811 --> 03:16:32,445
Anger does happen and that

5409
03:16:32,445 --> 03:16:33,179
learning to bring that in

5410
03:16:33,179 --> 03:16:36,179
hopefully it can take place

5411
03:16:37,617 --> 03:16:38,170
also and respecting

5412
03:16:38,170 --> 03:16:38,718
the decorum.

5413
03:16:38,718 --> 03:16:39,451
Thanks for this item and good

5414
03:16:39,451 --> 03:16:43,651
luck How it can be talked about

5415
03:16:44,424 --> 03:16:44,891
in all ideas can be understood

5416
03:16:44,891 --> 03:16:45,325
and listened to.

5417
03:16:45,325 --> 03:16:46,920
>> Thank you.

5418
03:16:46,920 --> 03:16:49,692
Thank you Hector If you can

5419
03:16:50,696 --> 03:16:51,364
please unmute or talk to

5420
03:16:51,364 --> 03:16:51,931
the board and the apartment

5421
03:16:51,931 --> 03:16:54,931
thing I would in this

5422
03:16:56,102 --> 03:16:56,803
particular area of town it's

5423
03:16:56,803 --> 03:16:57,570
very sensitive area and I wish

5424
03:16:57,570 --> 03:17:01,170
the barrio would get its own

5425
03:17:02,942 --> 03:17:03,642
mayor or I don't see a lot of

5426
03:17:03,642 --> 03:17:04,344
people in the room supporting

5427
03:17:04,344 --> 03:17:07,944
this apartment So I don't know

5428
03:17:08,480 --> 03:17:08,815
if the barrio likes it which is

5429
03:17:08,815 --> 03:17:09,582
good for them or I would like

5430
03:17:09,582 --> 03:17:13,182
to see some those guys talk

5431
03:17:13,752 --> 03:17:14,354
about it but the bond looks

5432
03:17:14,354 --> 03:17:14,721
pretty good if it's all

5433
03:17:14,721 --> 03:17:16,721
the guys.

5434
03:17:20,293 --> 03:17:20,993
Responsibility is a it is a

5435
03:17:20,993 --> 03:17:21,594
thing where the companies are

5436
03:17:21,594 --> 03:17:24,594
doing it for the money.

5437
03:17:26,832 --> 03:17:27,534
That's kind of it sounds good

5438
03:17:27,534 --> 03:17:30,836
when they get on these topics

5439
03:17:30,836 --> 03:17:31,571
anti dissonance like that But

5440
03:17:31,571 --> 03:17:32,272
that's just an indicator that's

5441
03:17:32,272 --> 03:17:36,472
it's not so much for the poor

5442
03:17:36,576 --> 03:17:37,276
guys but it's for them to you

5443
03:17:37,276 --> 03:17:37,977
know they're taking money for

5444
03:17:37,977 --> 03:17:40,977
their families and their stuff

5445
03:17:42,282 --> 03:17:42,916
But the barrio needs to get

5446
03:17:42,916 --> 03:17:44,916
more participation because

5447
03:17:48,555 --> 03:17:49,255
they've been really misused for

5448
03:17:49,255 --> 03:17:52,855
decades And it's I think it'd

5449
03:17:54,995 --> 03:17:55,662
be cool to have a like

5450
03:17:55,662 --> 03:17:56,396
the mayor of Barrio Logan or

5451
03:17:56,396 --> 03:18:00,366
how have you guys want to call

5452
03:18:00,366 --> 03:18:00,666
it more like a Mexican village

5453
03:18:00,666 --> 03:18:01,535
?

5454
03:18:01,535 --> 03:18:02,135
You know, that would be so nice

5455
03:18:02,135 --> 03:18:05,135
because it's it's such a

5456
03:18:05,704 --> 03:18:06,406
treasure that we got And of all

5457
03:18:06,406 --> 03:18:07,106
these different public things

5458
03:18:07,106 --> 03:18:10,106
that's all the different Irish

5459
03:18:11,912 --> 03:18:12,879
state we need to get away.

5460
03:18:12,879 --> 03:18:17,679
We need to go back on this and

5461
03:18:17,684 --> 03:18:18,317
do the accounting on all these

5462
03:18:18,317 --> 03:18:18,985
all these things that are

5463
03:18:18,985 --> 03:18:21,385
non-for-profit this and that

5464
03:18:23,823 --> 03:18:24,424
and find out exactly where

5465
03:18:24,424 --> 03:18:25,126
the money's going And it

5466
03:18:25,126 --> 03:18:28,126
because it's always shady that

5467
03:18:29,620 --> 03:18:29,830
just like the lady that wanted

5468
03:18:29,830 --> 03:18:32,830
the free car thing for

5469
03:18:35,602 --> 03:18:36,303
the mayor's buddy you know it's

5470
03:18:36,303 --> 03:18:37,400
really shady this got a really

5471
03:18:37,400 --> 03:18:40,604
got to look at everything was

5472
03:18:41,774 --> 03:18:42,508
scratching your head what

5473
03:18:42,508 --> 03:18:43,176
what's the real motivation here

5474
03:18:43,176 --> 03:18:46,776
and I've been I've been I've

5475
03:18:47,514 --> 03:18:48,248
been I've talked to you guys

5476
03:18:48,248 --> 03:18:49,216
kind of bad sometimes I try not

5477
03:18:49,216 --> 03:18:53,186
to do that now but Joe Joe gave

5478
03:18:53,186 --> 03:18:54,530
me some good advice one time.

5479
03:18:54,530 --> 03:18:54,420
>> So anyway, have a good day.

5480
03:18:54,420 --> 03:18:55,880
Thank you.

5481
03:18:55,880 --> 03:18:58,880
And our final speaker is

5482
03:19:01,595 --> 03:19:02,529
Michael Schmidt and hello.

5483
03:19:02,529 --> 03:19:06,129
I'm sorry I had to leave

5484
03:19:08,936 --> 03:19:13,736
because of I was going to say I

5485
03:19:13,774 --> 03:19:16,774
don't think that those before

5486
03:19:20,914 --> 03:19:21,247
okay you guys I appreciate this

5487
03:19:21,247 --> 03:19:23,247
.

5488
03:19:25,352 --> 03:19:26,530
Absolutely It's going on You so

5489
03:19:26,530 --> 03:19:29,653
I really appreciate it But I

5490
03:19:31,357 --> 03:19:31,892
don't think people are treating

5491
03:19:31,892 --> 03:19:34,292
you guys right now.

5492
03:19:37,397 --> 03:19:37,965
Thank you very much.

5493
03:19:37,965 --> 03:19:38,666
>> Thank you.

5494
03:19:38,666 --> 03:19:39,266
And that does conclude public

5495
03:19:39,266 --> 03:19:39,633
comment on these items.

5496
03:19:39,633 --> 03:19:40,200
All right.

5497
03:19:40,200 --> 03:19:42,600
Thank you, City clerk.

5498
03:19:42,703 --> 03:19:43,336
With that we'll turn over to

5499
03:19:43,336 --> 03:19:44,300
council members questions,

5500
03:19:44,300 --> 03:19:46,403
comments entertain a motion.

5501
03:19:48,275 --> 03:19:48,976
We of course will take two

5502
03:19:48,976 --> 03:19:49,643
votes as a council and then

5503
03:19:49,643 --> 03:19:50,344
housing authority And we'll

5504
03:19:50,344 --> 03:19:53,344
start with the council member

5505
03:19:53,781 --> 03:19:54,547
from District eight.

5506
03:19:54,547 --> 03:19:55,248
I think an entirely appropriate

5507
03:19:55,248 --> 03:19:55,548
voice for something in Barrio

5508
03:19:55,548 --> 03:19:56,216
Logan.

5509
03:19:56,216 --> 03:19:59,216
So we'll start with council

5510
03:19:59,653 --> 03:20:00,421
member Moreno.

5511
03:20:00,421 --> 03:20:01,222
I am not the mayor of

5512
03:20:01,222 --> 03:20:04,822
the Pueblo but I do have

5513
03:20:05,993 --> 03:20:06,594
the honor of representing

5514
03:20:06,594 --> 03:20:07,261
District eight as a city

5515
03:20:07,261 --> 03:20:10,261
Council member and thank you

5516
03:20:11,232 --> 03:20:11,999
for the presentation.

5517
03:20:11,999 --> 03:20:12,700
I want to start off by

5518
03:20:12,700 --> 03:20:13,000
expressing my support for this

5519
03:20:13,000 --> 03:20:15,000
item.

5520
03:20:17,972 --> 03:20:18,672
I just want to put it out that

5521
03:20:18,672 --> 03:20:21,672
it represents exactly the kind

5522
03:20:23,276 --> 03:20:23,711
of investment particularly in

5523
03:20:23,711 --> 03:20:24,278
Barrio Logan.

5524
03:20:24,278 --> 03:20:24,845
The Mercado Apartments

5525
03:20:24,845 --> 03:20:26,845
represent $113 Million

5526
03:20:29,950 --> 03:20:30,717
investment in Barrio Logan.

5527
03:20:30,717 --> 03:20:33,117
The project will deliver 224

5528
03:20:34,688 --> 03:20:35,122
homes of which 92 will be new

5529
03:20:35,122 --> 03:20:37,122
construction.

5530
03:20:39,459 --> 03:20:40,161
Let me repeat that 92 will be

5531
03:20:40,161 --> 03:20:42,561
new construction and 132 will

5532
03:20:45,132 --> 03:20:47,532
be rehabilitated Existing units

5533
03:20:50,504 --> 03:20:51,205
with 222 units restricted at 30

5534
03:20:51,205 --> 03:20:51,639
to 60% of area median income

5535
03:20:51,639 --> 03:20:53,639
for 55 years.

5536
03:20:56,944 --> 03:20:57,645
This project will ultimately be

5537
03:20:57,645 --> 03:20:58,144
building new affordable units

5538
03:20:58,144 --> 03:21:00,144
for Barrio Logan.

5539
03:21:02,716 --> 03:21:03,350
Let me repeat that Barrio Logan

5540
03:21:03,350 --> 03:21:04,170
is one of the communities

5541
03:21:04,170 --> 03:21:07,170
facing some of the greatest

5542
03:21:07,988 --> 03:21:08,556
housing pressures The housing

5543
03:21:08,556 --> 03:21:09,256
pressure of our city.

5544
03:21:09,256 --> 03:21:12,856
This is precisely the type of

5545
03:21:14,528 --> 03:21:15,162
development the region needs at

5546
03:21:15,162 --> 03:21:15,730
a time when affordability

5547
03:21:15,730 --> 03:21:16,363
continues to be one of

5548
03:21:16,363 --> 03:21:18,763
the biggest challenges for

5549
03:21:20,500 --> 03:21:21,269
families.

5550
03:21:21,269 --> 03:21:22,300
Projects like this are critical

5551
03:21:22,300 --> 03:21:25,603
to ensure people are not pushed

5552
03:21:26,707 --> 03:21:27,475
out of the communities that

5553
03:21:27,475 --> 03:21:28,175
they were born and raised in.

5554
03:21:28,175 --> 03:21:31,175
I do want to recognize

5555
03:21:32,513 --> 03:21:33,214
the Metropolitan Area Advisory

5556
03:21:33,214 --> 03:21:33,948
Committee also known as Mack

5557
03:21:33,948 --> 03:21:37,548
for being a just a tremendous

5558
03:21:38,419 --> 03:21:39,153
partner not just in District

5559
03:21:39,153 --> 03:21:42,753
eight but just across the city.

5560
03:21:44,910 --> 03:21:44,792
Mack has a long track record of

5561
03:21:44,792 --> 03:21:45,526
delivering affordable housing

5562
03:21:45,526 --> 03:21:48,526
with integrity and with purpose

5563
03:21:50,365 --> 03:21:51,310
while also providing

5564
03:21:51,310 --> 03:21:51,733
the wraparound services that

5565
03:21:51,733 --> 03:21:54,133
help families succeed whether

5566
03:21:56,103 --> 03:21:56,804
it's child care, workforce

5567
03:21:56,804 --> 03:21:57,505
development, food assistance,

5568
03:21:57,505 --> 03:21:59,905
youth programing or financial

5569
03:22:01,442 --> 03:22:02,210
counseling.

5570
03:22:02,210 --> 03:22:02,909
These types of services matter

5571
03:22:02,909 --> 03:22:05,309
because affordable housing is

5572
03:22:07,415 --> 03:22:07,948
not just about putting a roof

5573
03:22:07,948 --> 03:22:08,650
over someone's head.

5574
03:22:08,650 --> 03:22:09,349
It's about creating stability,

5575
03:22:09,349 --> 03:22:12,949
opportunity And at the end of

5576
03:22:14,880 --> 03:22:14,856
the day a stronger community.

5577
03:22:14,856 --> 03:22:15,590
This project as I mentioned I

5578
03:22:15,590 --> 03:22:18,590
haven't mentioned this but it's

5579
03:22:19,793 --> 03:22:20,495
an investment in the future of

5580
03:22:20,495 --> 03:22:21,162
Barrio Logan and the families

5581
03:22:21,162 --> 03:22:24,762
who deserve a chance to stay

5582
03:22:24,832 --> 03:22:25,600
and thrive there.

5583
03:22:25,600 --> 03:22:26,200
I need to put this on

5584
03:22:26,200 --> 03:22:29,200
the record and it's very

5585
03:22:31,305 --> 03:22:32,730
unfortunate that a top advisor

5586
03:22:32,730 --> 03:22:32,807
for Mayor Gloria is trying to

5587
03:22:32,807 --> 03:22:36,407
sway this council to deny these

5588
03:22:36,744 --> 03:22:37,311
funds to the community to a

5589
03:22:37,311 --> 03:22:38,460
community of concern.

5590
03:22:38,460 --> 03:22:41,460
It's my understanding that this

5591
03:22:42,616 --> 03:22:43,350
top adviser who also serves as

5592
03:22:43,350 --> 03:22:43,985
a commissioner on the San Diego

5593
03:22:43,985 --> 03:22:44,686
Housing Commission sent a

5594
03:22:44,686 --> 03:22:47,686
letter to each council member

5595
03:22:48,289 --> 03:22:48,890
expressing his opposition to

5596
03:22:48,890 --> 03:22:50,890
this affordable housing

5597
03:22:54,262 --> 03:22:54,929
development.

5598
03:22:54,929 --> 03:22:57,329
The letter just completely

5599
03:23:05,540 --> 03:23:06,341
misses the mark and I think

5600
03:23:06,341 --> 03:23:09,941
this letter is on the record

5601
03:23:11,513 --> 03:23:12,380
right?

5602
03:23:12,380 --> 03:23:13,247
We have it on the record and I

5603
03:23:13,247 --> 03:23:17,118
want to take the time to read

5604
03:23:17,118 --> 03:23:17,886
it.

5605
03:23:17,886 --> 03:23:18,453
I write in respect of firm

5606
03:23:18,453 --> 03:23:19,540
opposition to Mercado

5607
03:23:19,540 --> 03:23:21,540
Apartments expansion now

5608
03:23:22,757 --> 03:23:23,458
advancing to city council

5609
03:23:23,458 --> 03:23:23,959
sitting as a housing authority

5610
03:23:23,959 --> 03:23:25,959
for consideration.

5611
03:23:28,280 --> 03:23:28,730
I would vote for the record

5612
03:23:28,730 --> 03:23:29,431
that this project reaches you

5613
03:23:29,431 --> 03:23:29,998
without a recommendation from

5614
03:23:29,998 --> 03:23:32,398
the San Diego Housing

5615
03:23:34,502 --> 03:23:35,236
Commission At Thursday's

5616
03:23:35,236 --> 03:23:37,636
hearing the Commission's motion

5617
03:23:40,142 --> 03:23:40,809
to approved approve failed to

5618
03:23:40,809 --> 03:23:41,376
secure the four affirmative

5619
03:23:41,376 --> 03:23:42,760
votes required for an

5620
03:23:42,760 --> 03:23:45,760
endorsement and that the item

5621
03:23:45,680 --> 03:23:46,381
moves forward with no position

5622
03:23:46,381 --> 03:23:47,480
from the body whose charge it

5623
03:23:47,480 --> 03:23:50,480
is to evaluate exactly this

5624
03:23:51,319 --> 03:23:52,540
kind of proposal.

5625
03:23:52,540 --> 03:23:52,687
The absence of this endorsement

5626
03:23:52,687 --> 03:23:53,255
is itself meaningful and I

5627
03:23:53,255 --> 03:23:55,655
would urge the housing

5628
03:23:57,158 --> 03:23:57,559
authority to weigh in

5629
03:23:57,559 --> 03:23:58,930
accordingly.

5630
03:23:58,930 --> 03:23:58,794
Furthermore, I would

5631
03:23:58,794 --> 03:24:01,194
respectfully urge the housing

5632
03:24:03,465 --> 03:24:04,165
authority to take one of these

5633
03:24:04,165 --> 03:24:07,765
three paths And number two is

5634
03:24:08,870 --> 03:24:09,604
redirect the equivalent subsidy

5635
03:24:09,604 --> 03:24:10,338
to produce 92 affordable units

5636
03:24:10,338 --> 03:24:13,338
at a site with comparable

5637
03:24:14,176 --> 03:24:14,909
transit access and materially

5638
03:24:14,909 --> 03:24:17,909
lower air quality risk portions

5639
03:24:19,748 --> 03:24:20,415
of the Midway District Mission

5640
03:24:20,415 --> 03:24:22,149
Valley and the Sports arena

5641
03:24:22,149 --> 03:24:24,549
Redevelopment areas are obvious

5642
03:24:28,924 --> 03:24:29,624
Candidates To say that that

5643
03:24:29,624 --> 03:24:33,224
letter misses the mark I think

5644
03:24:40,680 --> 03:24:40,769
is an understatement.

5645
03:24:40,769 --> 03:24:43,769
The letter this adviser sent

5646
03:24:45,274 --> 03:24:45,874
out worries me about the type

5647
03:24:45,874 --> 03:24:46,508
of council the mayor is

5648
03:24:46,508 --> 03:24:48,908
receiving this ill advised

5649
03:24:51,346 --> 03:24:52,460
approach to affordable housing

5650
03:24:52,460 --> 03:24:55,646
in Barrio Logan could hurt not

5651
03:24:56,385 --> 03:24:57,520
only this community but other

5652
03:24:57,520 --> 03:24:59,452
communities of concern that

5653
03:25:01,789 --> 03:25:02,458
need this These resources This

5654
03:25:02,458 --> 03:25:03,158
project would be would bring

5655
03:25:03,158 --> 03:25:03,825
much needed affordable housing

5656
03:25:03,825 --> 03:25:06,825
to Barrio Logan, a community

5657
03:25:07,620 --> 03:25:07,729
that has endured decades of

5658
03:25:07,729 --> 03:25:10,129
disinvestment from this city

5659
03:25:12,735 --> 03:25:13,168
and severe shortage of housing

5660
03:25:13,168 --> 03:25:13,868
opportunities.

5661
03:25:13,868 --> 03:25:14,570
Again, it's deeply concerning

5662
03:25:14,570 --> 03:25:18,170
that a senior advisor to Mayor

5663
03:25:18,674 --> 03:25:19,341
Gloria would seek to withhold

5664
03:25:19,341 --> 03:25:21,341
critical affordable housing

5665
03:25:23,245 --> 03:25:23,679
funding from the residents of

5666
03:25:23,679 --> 03:25:24,379
Barrio Logan.

5667
03:25:24,379 --> 03:25:25,460
This raises serious questions

5668
03:25:25,460 --> 03:25:27,446
about whether this position

5669
03:25:29,918 --> 03:25:30,519
reflects that of Mayor Gloria

5670
03:25:30,519 --> 03:25:32,519
and his administration.

5671
03:25:34,857 --> 03:25:35,523
This administration has not

5672
03:25:35,523 --> 03:25:36,191
handled real estate projects

5673
03:25:36,191 --> 03:25:36,491
properly in the city of San

5674
03:25:36,491 --> 03:25:38,491
Diego.

5675
03:25:40,663 --> 03:25:41,396
>> It makes me question and I

5676
03:25:41,396 --> 03:25:44,996
have formally asked for the mou

5677
03:25:46,168 --> 03:25:46,902
that the mayor just signed with

5678
03:25:46,902 --> 03:25:47,369
the San Diego Community College

5679
03:25:47,369 --> 03:25:49,369
just yesterday.

5680
03:25:52,441 --> 03:25:53,108
I can only urge my colleague I

5681
03:25:53,108 --> 03:25:53,809
would urge my colleagues on

5682
03:25:53,809 --> 03:25:57,409
this dias to stand with Barrio

5683
03:25:57,413 --> 03:25:58,113
Logan by approving this funding

5684
03:25:58,113 --> 03:26:01,113
and supporting the creation of

5685
03:26:03,285 --> 03:26:03,619
desperately needed affordable

5686
03:26:03,619 --> 03:26:04,386
housing.

5687
03:26:04,386 --> 03:26:04,986
So with that I move staff's

5688
03:26:04,986 --> 03:26:06,986
recommendation and that

5689
03:26:08,758 --> 03:26:09,258
concludes my comments.

5690
03:26:09,258 --> 03:26:09,658
>> Thank you.

5691
03:26:09,658 --> 03:26:10,250
All right.

5692
03:26:10,250 --> 03:26:10,693
Thank you.

5693
03:26:10,693 --> 03:26:11,326
Councilmember Moreno moving

5694
03:26:11,326 --> 03:26:13,326
the staff recommendation.

5695
03:26:14,696 --> 03:26:15,290
We'll go next to Councilmember

5696
03:26:15,290 --> 03:26:15,464
Rivera.

5697
03:26:15,464 --> 03:26:15,830
>> All right.

5698
03:26:15,830 --> 03:26:17,830
Thank you.

5699
03:26:18,734 --> 03:26:19,402
Council PRESIDENT I will start

5700
03:26:19,402 --> 03:26:22,402
by sickening the motion and

5701
03:26:25,741 --> 03:26:26,375
simply say that addition of

5702
03:26:26,375 --> 03:26:28,775
these housing this housing

5703
03:26:30,579 --> 03:26:31,800
housing opportunity and by

5704
03:26:31,800 --> 03:26:31,747
looking at some of

5705
03:26:31,747 --> 03:26:34,147
the community is definitely

5706
03:26:35,851 --> 03:26:36,551
worthy of and is badly needed

5707
03:26:36,551 --> 03:26:38,951
as Councilmember Moreno shared

5708
03:26:41,556 --> 03:26:42,358
these are units that will these

5709
03:26:42,358 --> 03:26:45,358
are homes that will create

5710
03:26:46,395 --> 03:26:47,960
housing opportunities for folks

5711
03:26:47,960 --> 03:26:50,696
who want to stay in their

5712
03:26:51,634 --> 03:26:52,300
community and have been facing

5713
03:26:52,300 --> 03:26:54,300
displacement, gentrification

5714
03:26:57,410 --> 03:26:57,540
and pushing back in a really

5715
03:26:57,540 --> 03:26:59,540
inspirational way.

5716
03:27:01,611 --> 03:27:05,211
I will just briefly speak to

5717
03:27:07,149 --> 03:27:07,753
question raised about

5718
03:27:07,753 --> 03:27:09,753
environmental quality of

5719
03:27:12,555 --> 03:27:13,222
the community and say that I

5720
03:27:13,222 --> 03:27:13,856
don't think there's a single

5721
03:27:13,856 --> 03:27:16,256
neighborhood in San Diego

5722
03:27:18,661 --> 03:27:19,362
that's worked harder to improve

5723
03:27:19,362 --> 03:27:21,762
their environment and improve

5724
03:27:23,398 --> 03:27:24,133
their quality than by looking

5725
03:27:24,133 --> 03:27:26,533
They've literally been fighting

5726
03:27:28,638 --> 03:27:29,205
for generations to improve

5727
03:27:29,205 --> 03:27:29,871
the air quality there.

5728
03:27:29,871 --> 03:27:32,271
They've oftentimes done that

5729
03:27:33,676 --> 03:27:34,444
against incredible opposition

5730
03:27:34,444 --> 03:27:36,844
from industry overcame those

5731
03:27:39,449 --> 03:27:40,148
obstacles passed a a committee

5732
03:27:40,148 --> 03:27:43,148
plan update that accounts for

5733
03:27:44,486 --> 03:27:45,154
the environmental injustices

5734
03:27:45,154 --> 03:27:45,888
that they have experienced

5735
03:27:45,888 --> 03:27:48,888
specifically in order to create

5736
03:27:49,759 --> 03:27:50,460
housing opportunity that is

5737
03:27:50,460 --> 03:27:50,993
safer and healthier than what

5738
03:27:50,993 --> 03:27:52,993
previously existed.

5739
03:27:55,365 --> 03:27:55,865
So with all that work being

5740
03:27:55,865 --> 03:27:56,466
done, I think that

5741
03:27:56,466 --> 03:27:58,866
the community very much

5742
03:28:00,736 --> 03:28:01,503
deserves to see the housing be

5743
03:28:01,503 --> 03:28:05,703
built and I'm glad that we will

5744
03:28:05,775 --> 03:28:06,475
have an opportunity to support

5745
03:28:06,475 --> 03:28:07,142
the building of that housing.

5746
03:28:07,142 --> 03:28:07,510
>> That concludes I second.

5747
03:28:07,510 --> 03:28:07,877
All right.

5748
03:28:07,877 --> 03:28:09,877
Thank you.

5749
03:28:10,280 --> 03:28:11,114
Council member Eli Rivera.

5750
03:28:11,114 --> 03:28:11,781
So we do have a motion by

5751
03:28:11,781 --> 03:28:14,181
COUNCILMAN Moreno second by

5752
03:28:15,418 --> 03:28:16,185
council member Ella Rivera.

5753
03:28:16,185 --> 03:28:16,553
I don't see anybody else in

5754
03:28:16,553 --> 03:28:18,553
the light.

5755
03:28:20,256 --> 03:28:20,924
It is curious that the Housing

5756
03:28:20,924 --> 03:28:23,324
Commission board voted five

5757
03:28:24,526 --> 03:28:25,161
zero back in JULY of 2025 to

5758
03:28:25,161 --> 03:28:25,762
make this project happen.

5759
03:28:25,762 --> 03:28:28,162
This is a separate

5760
03:28:29,632 --> 03:28:30,333
consideration an action that is

5761
03:28:30,333 --> 03:28:33,333
necessary and that the Housing

5762
03:28:34,304 --> 03:28:35,400
Commission actually forwarded

5763
03:28:35,400 --> 03:28:35,605
this for action even without a

5764
03:28:35,605 --> 03:28:37,605
recommendation which is

5765
03:28:39,843 --> 03:28:40,542
something we do at council

5766
03:28:40,542 --> 03:28:41,244
committees MAY forward an item

5767
03:28:41,244 --> 03:28:43,644
without a recommendation going

5768
03:28:44,748 --> 03:28:45,648
forward.

5769
03:28:45,648 --> 03:28:46,382
>> MR. Owens would you like to

5770
03:28:46,382 --> 03:28:49,786
I will just note that we didn't

5771
03:28:49,786 --> 03:28:50,653
have a full board that day so

5772
03:28:50,653 --> 03:28:51,454
we only had five of our board

5773
03:28:51,454 --> 03:28:54,491
members and we ended up with

5774
03:28:54,491 --> 03:28:55,191
a32 and we need four to move it

5775
03:28:55,191 --> 03:28:55,892
forward with recommendation So

5776
03:28:55,892 --> 03:28:56,259
we just moved it forward them.

5777
03:28:56,259 --> 03:28:58,259
All right.

5778
03:28:59,462 --> 03:29:00,330
Thank you for that.

5779
03:29:00,330 --> 03:29:04,530
That had a bit of history of

5780
03:29:05,350 --> 03:29:05,768
how we got here So I appreciate

5781
03:29:05,768 --> 03:29:08,168
COUNCILMAN Moreno's reaction to

5782
03:29:10,173 --> 03:29:10,840
that and a little bit of

5783
03:29:10,840 --> 03:29:11,408
the history by Councilmember

5784
03:29:11,408 --> 03:29:12,107
Eli Rivera about what

5785
03:29:12,107 --> 03:29:15,107
the Barrio Logan community has

5786
03:29:15,278 --> 03:29:15,979
been able to do about So with

5787
03:29:15,979 --> 03:29:19,748
no one else on the light Yeah

5788
03:29:19,748 --> 03:29:20,516
we have a motion by Council

5789
03:29:20,516 --> 03:29:21,317
member Moreno and a second by

5790
03:29:21,317 --> 03:29:24,317
council member Eli Rivera to

5791
03:29:25,388 --> 03:29:27,788
move the staff recommendation.

5792
03:29:29,893 --> 03:29:30,593

no staff recommendation.

5798
03:29:40,704 --> 03:29:41,304
Yes.

5799

5800
03:29:41,738 --> 03:29:43,738

item.

5876
03:31:26,430 --> 03:31:26,376
This is a District three

5877
03:31:26,376 --> 03:31:26,944
project.

5878
03:31:26,944 --> 03:31:27,444

entrepreneur please come

5896
03:31:47,998 --> 03:31:49,998

5897
03:31:51,402 --> 03:31:52,169
>> You submitted a speaker So

5898
03:31:52,169 --> 03:31:53,436
for item 332 I will just note

5899
03:31:53,436 --> 03:31:56,436
that you've only submitted it

5900
03:31:58,609 --> 03:31:59,276
for 332 not to come up to

5901
03:31:59,276 --> 03:32:02,876
the podium If you'd like to

5902
03:32:07,851 --> 03:32:08,185
speak on both items please

5903
03:32:08,185 --> 03:32:08,886
proceed.

5904
03:32:08,886 --> 03:32:11,886
That's confusing how you have

5905
03:32:12,723 --> 03:32:13,590
it here.

5906
03:32:13,590 --> 03:32:14,258
So anyhow what I was trying to

5907
03:32:14,258 --> 03:32:17,858
get at before and it's funny

5908
03:32:18,620 --> 03:32:18,762
because you guys I mean Vivian,

5909
03:32:18,762 --> 03:32:19,363
you're wondering what kind of

5910
03:32:19,363 --> 03:32:21,763
council the mayor gets.

5911
03:32:22,733 --> 03:32:23,433
I'm wondering what kind of

5912
03:32:23,433 --> 03:32:24,135
council you guys get when you

5913
03:32:24,135 --> 03:32:24,768
act illegally in a meeting and

5914
03:32:24,768 --> 03:32:27,768
nobody tells you to course

5915
03:32:27,871 --> 03:32:30,871
correct any who you know

5916
03:32:32,410 --> 03:32:33,277
the $24 billion that California

5917
03:32:33,277 --> 03:32:34,450
has, you know, thrown away with

5918
03:32:34,450 --> 03:32:37,450
all of this homeless and

5919
03:32:38,115 --> 03:32:38,782
housing initiatives, a lot of

5920
03:32:38,782 --> 03:32:41,919
that came to San Diego And

5921
03:32:41,919 --> 03:32:42,720
that's why there's question in

5922
03:32:42,720 --> 03:32:43,421
these, you know, tax exempt

5923
03:32:43,421 --> 03:32:46,421
bonds because like I'm saying,

5924
03:32:47,258 --> 03:32:47,892
they can falsify documents,

5925
03:32:47,892 --> 03:32:48,592
the environmental reviews,

5926
03:32:48,592 --> 03:32:52,192
the cost of projects And this

5927
03:32:52,730 --> 03:32:53,497
has already happened and it's

5928
03:32:53,497 --> 03:32:57,201
kind of a played pay to play

5929
03:32:57,201 --> 03:32:57,835
type of a thing And it's just a

5930
03:32:57,835 --> 03:32:58,569
problem because there's a

5931
03:32:58,569 --> 03:33:01,871
misuse of public funds And when

5932
03:33:01,871 --> 03:33:02,506
they want to come in here and

5933
03:33:02,506 --> 03:33:03,241
say that they're going to

5934
03:33:03,241 --> 03:33:05,641
provide affordable housing like

5935
03:33:06,276 --> 03:33:07,110
literally they only have to do

5936
03:33:07,110 --> 03:33:07,745
a certain amount, then they can

5937
03:33:07,745 --> 03:33:11,148
go and rent these places out

5938
03:33:11,148 --> 03:33:11,449
for you know, full market

5939
03:33:11,449 --> 03:33:12,830
value.

5940
03:33:12,830 --> 03:33:12,749
And the problem is is that

5941
03:33:12,749 --> 03:33:15,149
people are waiting on

5942
03:33:16,530 --> 03:33:16,854
the streets.

5943
03:33:16,854 --> 03:33:17,588
They see these buildings being

5944
03:33:17,588 --> 03:33:20,625
built and they think am I going

5945
03:33:20,625 --> 03:33:21,325
to be able to go into that Like

5946
03:33:21,325 --> 03:33:21,992
they look at it as an

5947
03:33:21,992 --> 03:33:24,392
opportunity but yet they're

5948
03:33:25,596 --> 03:33:25,963
kind of kept from being able to

5949
03:33:25,963 --> 03:33:26,697
access it.

5950
03:33:26,697 --> 03:33:30,297
And that's what's really sad is

5951
03:33:30,568 --> 03:33:31,100
that a lot of fraud, waste and

5952
03:33:31,100 --> 03:33:33,100
abuse happens.

5953
03:33:34,238 --> 03:33:34,972
I mean even the cd has like

5954
03:33:34,972 --> 03:33:35,406
$320 million that's potentially

5955
03:33:35,406 --> 03:33:37,406
been misused.

5956
03:33:39,877 --> 03:33:40,611
So I mean you guys want to sit

5957
03:33:40,611 --> 03:33:41,312
here and act like I'm crazy for

5958
03:33:41,312 --> 03:33:43,681
saying these things like your

5959
03:33:43,681 --> 03:33:44,415
face, Joe I mean you guys

5960
03:33:44,415 --> 03:33:45,490
aren't good at like hiding your

5961
03:33:45,490 --> 03:33:48,252
disdain for me but I mean

5962
03:33:48,252 --> 03:33:48,886
the things that I'm bringing

5963
03:33:48,886 --> 03:33:49,821
forward are not crazy.

5964
03:33:49,821 --> 03:33:53,421
It's like those are things that

5965
03:33:53,590 --> 03:33:54,391
actually take place And I mean

5966
03:33:54,391 --> 03:33:57,391
people are just expecting you

5967
03:33:58,629 --> 03:33:59,296
guys to do the right thing and

5968
03:33:59,296 --> 03:34:02,633
to make sure that you guys

5969
03:34:02,633 --> 03:34:03,334
provide what you claim that you

5970
03:34:03,334 --> 03:34:04,340
are And when there's fraud,

5971
03:34:04,340 --> 03:34:07,340
waste and abuse happening it's

5972
03:34:07,405 --> 03:34:08,206
like it's just sad because it

5973
03:34:08,206 --> 03:34:09,730
doesn't have to be this way But

5974
03:34:09,730 --> 03:34:12,377
you guys want to continue with

5975
03:34:12,377 --> 03:34:13,244

03:35:16,408 --> 03:35:17,309
Balboa Park.

6015
03:35:17,309 --> 03:35:21,179
How did you how did the city of

03:35:21,179 --> 03:35:21,946
San Diego spend that money?

6017
03:35:21,946 --> 03:35:25,450
How much money went to actual

6018
03:35:25,450 --> 03:35:26,184
event for the people and how

6019
03:35:26,184 --> 03:35:26,851

03:35:26,851 --> 03:35:29,251
organizations, NGOs and all

6021
03:35:29,521 --> 03:35:30,188
that stuff?

6022
03:35:30,188 --> 03:35:30,922
Only 12% actually went to

6023
03:35:30,922 --> 03:35:33,922
something that the people could

6024
03:35:38,296 --> 03:35:38,996
enjoy all the rest of the money

6025
03:35:38,996 --> 03:35:39,330
the $2.5 million went to your

6026
03:35:39,330 --> 03:35:40,650
buddies.

6027
03:35:40,650 --> 03:35:43,935
This is how you go ahead and

6028
03:35:43,935 --> 03:35:44,635
treat our money and then you go

6029
03:35:44,635 --> 03:35:45,303

03:35:45,303 --> 03:35:45,735
to go ahead and do something

6031
03:35:45,735 --> 03:35:47,735
right.

6032
03:35:48,472 --> 03:35:49,141
How many of these people are

6033
03:35:49,141 --> 03:35:51,541
actual citizens or upcoming

6034
03:35:53,678 --> 03:35:54,346
citizens in your in your

6035
03:35:54,346 --> 03:35:57,182

people are buying your house

6037
03:35:57,849 --> 03:35:58,516
Because 90% of the homeless

03:35:58,516 --> 03:36:01,516
population on the streets of

6039
03:36:02,621 --> 03:36:03,255
San Diego are citizens of San

6040
03:36:03,255 --> 03:36:03,922
Diego that you kicked out

6041
03:36:03,922 --> 03:36:06,322
because of rising prices

6042
03:36:07,893 --> 03:36:08,259
because you can't afford

6043
03:36:08,259 --> 03:36:08,559
the roads.

6044
03:36:08,559 --> 03:36:09,260
Right.

6045
03:36:09,260 --> 03:36:12,397
But you don't want to go out

6046
03:36:12,397 --> 03:36:13,980
and meet the actual true

6047
03:36:13,980 --> 03:36:16,980
mechanisms that is causing you

6048
03:36:17,702 --> 03:36:18,370
to do this because I had no

6049
03:36:18,370 --> 03:36:21,970
idea you love being on your

6050
03:36:22,274 --> 03:36:22,908
knees with knee pads and

6051
03:36:22,908 --> 03:36:23,508
servicing the friggin NGOs

6052
03:36:23,508 --> 03:36:25,508
instead of supporting

6053
03:36:26,745 --> 03:36:30,345
the people like you Go into

6054
03:36:30,515 --> 03:36:31,283
great detail on every single

6055
03:36:31,283 --> 03:36:31,984
one of your things and hit it

6056
03:36:31,984 --> 03:36:34,984
in everything away the money,

6057
03:36:35,487 --> 03:36:36,187
how you spend it, why you do

6058
03:36:36,187 --> 03:36:36,822
this stuff but you don't want

6059
03:36:36,822 --> 03:36:39,822
to look for the problems.

6060
03:36:40,459 --> 03:36:41,930
You want to just increase them,

6061
03:36:41,930 --> 03:36:41,759
take citizens out of their

6062
03:36:41,759 --> 03:36:44,759
houses so you could rebuild

6063
03:36:45,330 --> 03:36:46,300
those areas so you can no

6064
03:36:46,300 --> 03:36:46,598
longer need to work on those

6065
03:36:46,598 --> 03:36:48,598
roads because they're

6066
03:36:49,834 --> 03:36:50,536
controlled by the exact

6067
03:36:50,536 --> 03:36:51,302
directions Right You're going

6068
03:36:51,302 --> 03:36:55,474

Bye Big time.

6075
03:37:02,313 --> 03:37:04,149
I wanted to ask you a

6076
03:37:04,149 --> 03:37:04,917
procedural question Is there

the housing authority on

6081
03:37:14,326 --> 03:37:15,930
the agenda today.

a lot of the same thing same

6085
03:37:23,969 --> 03:37:24,670
things can be said without

6086
03:37:24,670 --> 03:37:25,360
having to swear and he did it

6087
03:37:25,360 --> 03:37:25,504
perfectly.

6088
03:37:25,504 --> 03:37:27,504
You did awesome.

6089
03:37:28,374 --> 03:37:28,741
Thanks for conveying his ideas.

6090
03:37:28,741 --> 03:37:29,107
>> Thanks.

6091
03:37:29,107 --> 03:37:29,742
Thank you.

6092
03:37:29,742 --> 03:37:32,142
That does conclude public

6093
03:37:32,711 --> 03:37:33,111
comment on these items.

6094
03:37:33,111 --> 03:37:34,460
Thank you.

6095
03:37:34,460 --> 03:37:37,646
I think this council is pretty

6096
03:37:37,750 --> 03:37:38,384
used to being sworn at.

6097
03:37:38,384 --> 03:37:39,117
It's the courtesy to those

6098
03:37:39,117 --> 03:37:42,117
listening either here in person

6099
03:37:42,588 --> 03:37:43,540
or remotely that I think Blair

6100
03:37:43,540 --> 03:37:43,756
was speaking to.

6101
03:37:43,756 --> 03:37:44,127
And thank you Blair for your

6102
03:37:44,127 --> 03:37:46,127
comments.

6103
03:37:46,892 --> 03:37:47,926
The other time.

6104
03:37:47,926 --> 03:37:52,126
So with that we will turn it

6105
03:37:52,164 --> 03:37:52,798
over to council members for any

6106
03:37:52,798 --> 03:37:55,198
questions or comments and

6107
03:37:56,735 --> 03:37:57,503
entertain a motion And we again

6108
03:37:57,503 --> 03:37:57,803
will be taking two to vote on

6109
03:37:57,803 --> 03:37:58,571
this.

6110
03:37:58,571 --> 03:38:01,606
This is a District three matter

6111
03:38:01,606 --> 03:38:02,174
so Council member Whitburn,

6112
03:38:02,174 --> 03:38:02,775
we'll start with you.

6113
03:38:02,775 --> 03:38:03,442
>> Thank you very much.

6114
03:38:03,442 --> 03:38:05,442
Council PRESIDENT Hillcrest

6115
03:38:06,645 --> 03:38:07,279
Hall is exactly the kind of

6116
03:38:07,279 --> 03:38:07,880
project that our community

6117
03:38:07,880 --> 03:38:08,547
needs 97 units of truly

6118
03:38:08,547 --> 03:38:10,947
affordable housing right at

6119
03:38:11,917 --> 03:38:12,617
the heart of Hillcrest where we

6120
03:38:12,617 --> 03:38:13,219
know the demand is tremendous.

6121
03:38:13,219 --> 03:38:13,919
What makes this project

6122
03:38:13,919 --> 03:38:16,319
particularly appealing is its

6123
03:38:16,422 --> 03:38:17,223
location.

6124
03:38:17,223 --> 03:38:17,923
It is situated on University

6125
03:38:17,923 --> 03:38:18,557
Avenue so residents will have

6126
03:38:18,557 --> 03:38:20,957
immediate access to rapid

6127
03:38:21,226 --> 03:38:21,960
transit with grocery stores,

6128
03:38:21,960 --> 03:38:24,960
schools and parks nearby making

6129
03:38:26,132 --> 03:38:26,732
this a truly transit oriented

6130
03:38:26,732 --> 03:38:27,232
walkable development for

6131
03:38:27,232 --> 03:38:27,933
working families.

6132
03:38:27,933 --> 03:38:30,933
The Uptown community planned a

6133
03:38:31,236 --> 03:38:31,837
group unanimously supported

6134
03:38:31,837 --> 03:38:32,538
this project with speaks

6135
03:38:32,538 --> 03:38:36,138
volumes about how well it fits

6136
03:38:36,375 --> 03:38:37,109
into our neighborhoods vision

6137
03:38:37,109 --> 03:38:37,810
And with 97 deed restricted

6138
03:38:37,810 --> 03:38:40,210
affordable units for 55 years

6139
03:38:40,613 --> 03:38:41,213
we're not just addressing

6140
03:38:41,213 --> 03:38:41,813
today's housing crisis.

6141
03:38:41,813 --> 03:38:42,514
We're making a long term

6142
03:38:42,514 --> 03:38:44,914
commitment to affordability in

6143
03:38:45,985 --> 03:38:46,551
this community.

6144
03:38:46,551 --> 03:38:47,285
I'm also pleased that

6145
03:38:47,285 --> 03:38:47,953
the development will include on

6146
03:38:47,953 --> 03:38:50,353
site social services through

6147
03:38:50,690 --> 03:38:51,324
life steps providing residents

6148
03:38:51,324 --> 03:38:52,240
with educational programs,

6149
03:38:52,240 --> 03:38:54,424
health and wellness resources,

6150
03:38:56,128 --> 03:38:56,762
financial literacy training get

6151
03:38:56,762 --> 03:38:57,463
more because we know that

6152
03:38:57,463 --> 03:38:59,863
quality affordable housing is

6153
03:38:59,899 --> 03:39:00,466
about more than just four walls

6154
03:39:00,466 --> 03:39:01,100
and I'm happy to make

6155
03:39:01,100 --> 03:39:01,667
the motion to support this

6156
03:39:01,667 --> 03:39:02,340
staff recommendation.

6157
03:39:02,340 --> 03:39:04,340
All right.

6158
03:39:05,400 --> 03:39:05,504
Thank you Council member

6159
03:39:05,504 --> 03:39:06,205

6161
03:39:06,872 --> 03:39:09,509
the resolution And we'll go

6162
03:39:09,509 --> 03:39:09,976
next to Councilmember Moreno.

6163
03:39:09,976 --> 03:39:10,343
Happy to second.

6164
03:39:10,343 --> 03:39:12,343
All right.

6165
03:39:13,846 --> 03:39:14,513
So we have a motion by

6166
03:39:14,513 --> 03:39:15,214
Councilmember Whipper and a

6167
03:39:15,214 --> 03:39:15,914

6168
03:39:15,914 --> 03:39:18,150
respond to a question that was

6169
03:39:18,150 --> 03:39:18,851
or an issue that was raised by

6170
03:39:18,851 --> 03:39:19,151
these are 100% deed restricted

6171
03:39:19,151 --> 03:39:21,151
units.

6172
03:39:22,622 --> 03:39:22,922
That's correct.

6173
03:39:22,922 --> 03:39:23,689
Okay.

6174
03:39:23,689 --> 03:39:24,256
And the other one was as well?

6175
03:39:24,256 --> 03:39:26,256
That is correct 100%.

6176
03:39:27,827 --> 03:39:28,360
This is still a search for

6177
03:39:28,360 --> 03:39:28,994
mixed use projects.

6178
03:39:28,994 --> 03:39:31,394
That's a conversation for

6179
03:39:32,866 --> 03:39:33,332
another day.

6180
03:39:33,332 --> 03:39:34,200
All right.

the clear box.

6229
03:40:43,970 --> 03:40:45,970
Thank you.

6230
03:41:08,261 --> 03:41:08,928
All right.

6231
03:41:08,928 --> 03:41:09,629
>> All right, MS..

6232
03:41:09,629 --> 03:41:12,290
Jones, please enter yourselves

6233
03:41:14,330 --> 03:41:14,801
formally for the record and let

6234
03:41:14,801 --> 03:41:15,535
us know how much time you need

6235
03:41:15,535 --> 03:41:17,737
before Sorry for MR. PRESIDENT.

6236
03:41:17,737 --> 03:41:18,438
Good afternoon, Counsel

6237
03:41:18,438 --> 03:41:18,905
PRESIDENT And council members.

6238
03:41:18,905 --> 03:41:19,506
I'm Lisa Jones.

6239
03:41:19,506 --> 03:41:20,730
The Housing Authority is

6240
03:41:20,730 --> 03:41:20,673
executive director and

6241
03:41:20,673 --> 03:41:22,800
the Housing Commission's

6242
03:41:22,800 --> 03:41:22,776
PRESIDENT And ceo.

6243
03:41:22,776 --> 03:41:23,443
I'll need about 10 to 12

6244
03:41:23,443 --> 03:41:25,843
minutes for my presentation.

6245
03:41:27,346 --> 03:41:28,214
All right.

6246
03:41:28,214 --> 03:41:28,915
I wanted to provide updates on

6247
03:41:28,915 --> 03:41:32,515
the changes in our voucher and

6248
03:41:32,586 --> 03:41:33,352
public housing programs.

6249
03:41:33,352 --> 03:41:34,540
About a month ago we started

6250
03:41:34,540 --> 03:41:36,454
formally notifying families in

6251
03:41:37,356 --> 03:41:38,570
our rental assistance and

6252
03:41:38,570 --> 03:41:38,725
public housing programs about

6253
03:41:38,725 --> 03:41:41,125
changes we are implementing

6254
03:41:41,962 --> 03:41:42,629
later this year.

6255
03:41:42,629 --> 03:41:43,363
Late last year our board

6256
03:41:43,363 --> 03:41:45,866
approved some changes to how we

6257
03:41:45,866 --> 03:41:46,533
calculate family contribution

6258
03:41:46,533 --> 03:41:47,166
amounts for our households.

6259
03:41:47,166 --> 03:41:50,166
This was to ensure that

6260
03:41:50,937 --> 03:41:51,705
everyone could remain stable

6261
03:41:51,705 --> 03:41:52,372
and housed and we could still

6262
03:41:52,372 --> 03:41:53,600
afford to support everybody

6263
03:41:53,600 --> 03:41:55,542
that is on our programs

6264
03:41:55,542 --> 03:41:56,143
currently.

6265
03:41:56,143 --> 03:41:56,876
We recently received our

6266
03:41:56,876 --> 03:41:57,410
approval from the us Department

6267
03:41:57,410 --> 03:41:59,810
of Housing and Urban

6268
03:42:01,140 --> 03:42:01,681
Development for the updates to

6269
03:42:01,681 --> 03:42:02,416
how we calculate the amounts

6270
03:42:02,416 --> 03:42:04,816
that families contribute toward

6271
03:42:05,519 --> 03:42:06,530
their housing in these programs

6272
03:42:06,530 --> 03:42:06,786
we started providing

6273
03:42:06,786 --> 03:42:09,186
information and public noticing

6274
03:42:10,123 --> 03:42:10,857
to the families as early as

6275
03:42:10,857 --> 03:42:11,557
last OCTOBER and have continued

6276
03:42:11,557 --> 03:42:15,157
to talk publicly and meet with

6277
03:42:16,290 --> 03:42:16,763
community based organization

6278
03:42:16,763 --> 03:42:17,464
and and advocacy groups around

6279
03:42:17,464 --> 03:42:19,864
this work getting information

6280
03:42:21,167 --> 03:42:21,801
out to our families and to

6281
03:42:21,801 --> 03:42:22,369
the community as you know.

6282
03:42:22,369 --> 03:42:23,350
But for the members of

6283
03:42:23,350 --> 03:42:26,600
the public who are watching

6284
03:42:26,600 --> 03:42:26,706
today's meeting program

6285
03:42:26,706 --> 03:42:27,340
participants pay a portion of

6286
03:42:27,340 --> 03:42:29,740
their income toward their

6287
03:42:30,611 --> 03:42:31,144
housing that is known as their

6288
03:42:31,144 --> 03:42:31,812
family contribution.

6289
03:42:31,812 --> 03:42:32,479
The Housing Commission pays

6290
03:42:32,479 --> 03:42:34,879
the difference between that

6291
03:42:35,548 --> 03:42:36,250
family contribution amount and

6292
03:42:36,250 --> 03:42:36,951
the total due to the landlord

6293
03:42:36,951 --> 03:42:39,686
up to the payment standard for

6294
03:42:39,686 --> 03:42:40,354
their rental home.

6295
03:42:40,354 --> 03:42:41,210
However, we have found it

6296
03:42:41,210 --> 03:42:41,655
necessary for us to increase

6297
03:42:41,655 --> 03:42:43,655
these family contribution

6298
03:42:45,225 --> 03:42:45,792
amounts because our federal

6299
03:42:45,792 --> 03:42:46,493
funding is not meeting

6300
03:42:46,493 --> 03:42:47,194
the rental assistance needs of

6301
03:42:47,194 --> 03:42:49,863
all the families we currently

6302
03:42:49,863 --> 03:42:50,664
serve.

6303
03:42:50,664 --> 03:42:51,331
If we did not implement these

6304
03:42:51,331 --> 03:42:51,932
updates hundreds of families

6305
03:42:51,932 --> 03:42:54,332
could lose their rental

6306
03:42:55,135 --> 03:42:55,969
assistance entirely.

6307
03:42:55,969 --> 03:42:59,206
Our goal in this process is to

6308
03:42:59,206 --> 03:42:59,939
make sure families continue

6309
03:42:59,939 --> 03:43:00,641
with this assistance and remain

6310
03:43:00,641 --> 03:43:03,641
housed By making these changes

6311
03:43:04,445 --> 03:43:05,110
we expect to be able to

6312
03:43:05,110 --> 03:43:05,711
continue to assist all

6313
03:43:05,711 --> 03:43:06,380
the families currently in our

6314
03:43:06,380 --> 03:43:08,780
rental assistance and public

6315
03:43:09,830 --> 03:43:09,850
housing programs.

6316
03:43:09,850 --> 03:43:12,850
With these updates our elderly

6317
03:43:13,821 --> 03:43:14,521
disabled households will pay

6318
03:43:14,521 --> 03:43:15,289
32% of their income toward

6319
03:43:15,289 --> 03:43:18,289
their rental housing and we

6320
03:43:18,992 --> 03:43:19,592
will continue to not have any

6321
03:43:19,592 --> 03:43:20,260
required minimum family

6322
03:43:20,260 --> 03:43:22,660
contribution for our elderly

6323
03:43:23,196 --> 03:43:23,897
disabled families.

6324
03:43:23,897 --> 03:43:24,564
The family contribution amount

6325
03:43:24,564 --> 03:43:27,564
for households that are work

6326
03:43:28,502 --> 03:43:29,136
able will be either 40% of

6327
03:43:29,136 --> 03:43:32,136
their income or a minimum

6328
03:43:32,406 --> 03:43:33,140
family contribution amount.

6329
03:43:33,140 --> 03:43:33,673
The minimum family contribution

6330
03:43:33,673 --> 03:43:36,730
amounts are based on

6331
03:43:36,911 --> 03:43:37,577
the household size and

6332
03:43:37,577 --> 03:43:38,279
the current minimum wage of

6333
03:43:38,279 --> 03:43:41,879
1775 per hour In the city of

6334
03:43:42,249 --> 03:43:42,916
San Diego, for instance, a

6335
03:43:42,916 --> 03:43:45,916
household with one work able

6336
03:43:45,952 --> 03:43:46,654
adult would be calculated at

6337
03:43:46,654 --> 03:43:49,654
one work able adult working 25

6338
03:43:50,991 --> 03:43:51,758
hours a week at minimum wage.

6339
03:43:51,758 --> 03:43:52,493
This is the approach that has

6340
03:43:52,493 --> 03:43:52,792
been in place for a number of

6341
03:43:52,792 --> 03:43:54,792
years.

6342
03:43:55,930 --> 03:43:56,596
The only change being that we

6343
03:43:56,596 --> 03:43:57,197
updated the minimum wage to

6344
03:43:57,197 --> 03:43:59,597
the current minimum wage

6345
03:44:00,701 --> 03:44:01,602
effective JANUARY of this year

6346
03:44:01,602 --> 03:44:02,369
and we added a new tier for

6347
03:44:02,369 --> 03:44:05,305
families with three or more or

6348
03:44:05,305 --> 03:44:06,173
capable adults.

6349
03:44:06,173 --> 03:44:06,808
As noted on this slide, a

6350
03:44:06,808 --> 03:44:09,808
family with two work able

6351
03:44:10,770 --> 03:44:10,778
adults would have a minimum

6352
03:44:10,778 --> 03:44:12,778
family contribution of $1,155

6353
03:44:14,714 --> 03:44:15,516
per month and a family with

6354
03:44:15,516 --> 03:44:19,116
three or more work able adults

6355
03:44:19,186 --> 03:44:19,920
would have a minimum family

6356
03:44:19,920 --> 03:44:20,855
contribution of 1735 per month.

6357
03:44:20,855 --> 03:44:24,455
We have sent letters to our

6358
03:44:24,525 --> 03:44:25,259
participating families through

6359
03:44:25,259 --> 03:44:25,926
the U.S. Mail and through email

6360
03:44:25,926 --> 03:44:29,396
and we will continue to send

6361
03:44:29,396 --> 03:44:30,640
additional notices before

6362
03:44:30,640 --> 03:44:30,764
the new family contribution

6363
03:44:30,764 --> 03:44:31,265
amounts take effect on OCTOBER

6364
03:44:31,265 --> 03:44:33,665
1st of this year.

6365
03:44:34,402 --> 03:44:35,102
The most recent letter went out

6366
03:44:35,102 --> 03:44:35,836
on APRIL 10th and the next one

6367
03:44:35,836 --> 03:44:36,136
will go out in the next several

6368
03:44:36,136 --> 03:44:38,136
weeks.

6369
03:44:39,306 --> 03:44:40,700
We have also provided

6370
03:44:40,700 --> 03:44:40,741
information through frequently

6371
03:44:40,741 --> 03:44:43,141
asked questions and explanatory

6372
03:44:43,511 --> 03:44:44,145
videos on our website and these

6373
03:44:44,145 --> 03:44:46,545
resources are available in

6374
03:44:47,982 --> 03:44:48,282
English, Spanish and Vietnamese

6375
03:44:48,282 --> 03:44:48,950
.

6376
03:44:48,950 --> 03:44:49,684
Our staff are committed to

6377
03:44:49,684 --> 03:44:52,684
working with and supporting our

6378
03:44:53,521 --> 03:44:54,221
families during this process

6379
03:44:54,221 --> 03:44:54,855
answering questions, offering

6380
03:44:54,855 --> 03:44:57,255
guidance and helping them

6381
03:44:58,492 --> 03:44:59,160
prepare for these changes,

6382
03:44:59,160 --> 03:44:59,827
making sure that they are

6383
03:44:59,827 --> 03:45:02,227
accessing the resources they

6384
03:45:03,196 --> 03:45:04,310
need to be successful.

6385
03:45:04,310 --> 03:45:04,699
Our goal is to ensure that all

6386
03:45:04,699 --> 03:45:07,990
families we currently serve

6387
03:45:08,435 --> 03:45:09,236
remain stable House.

6388
03:45:09,236 --> 03:45:09,904
We have a dedicated page on our

6389
03:45:09,904 --> 03:45:10,605
website with a list of many

6390
03:45:10,605 --> 03:45:12,605
community resources available

6391
03:45:12,740 --> 03:45:13,507
to our families.

6392
03:45:13,507 --> 03:45:14,208
We have worked with our

6393
03:45:14,208 --> 03:45:14,942
community based organizations

6394
03:45:14,942 --> 03:45:17,677
to make sure that that web page

6395
03:45:17,677 --> 03:45:18,379
is robust, robust and updated

6396
03:45:18,379 --> 03:45:20,779
regularly and that information

6397
03:45:22,490 --> 03:45:22,416
is included in letters to our

6398
03:45:22,416 --> 03:45:23,500
families.

6399
03:45:23,500 --> 03:45:25,450
Our notices about updated

6400
03:45:26,988 --> 03:45:28,236
family contributions also

6401
03:45:28,236 --> 03:45:28,423
include information about these

6402
03:45:28,423 --> 03:45:30,423
community resources available

6403
03:45:31,793 --> 03:45:32,326
to them and our stage key

6404
03:45:32,326 --> 03:45:33,270
Achievement Academy.

6405
03:45:33,270 --> 03:45:33,593
Our Achievement Academy helps

6406
03:45:33,593 --> 03:45:35,593
families confirm their

6407
03:45:36,564 --> 03:45:37,165
eligibility for other

6408
03:45:37,165 --> 03:45:37,832
government benefits and

6409
03:45:37,832 --> 03:45:38,532
collaborates with community

6410
03:45:38,532 --> 03:45:41,532
partners to develop job skills

6411
03:45:41,969 --> 03:45:42,336
and career plans and financial

6412
03:45:42,336 --> 03:45:43,400
budgeting.

6413
03:45:43,400 --> 03:45:46,400
In addition to the resources

6414
03:45:46,541 --> 03:45:47,241
provided by our achievement

6415
03:45:47,241 --> 03:45:47,976
Academy, we are collaborating

6416
03:45:47,976 --> 03:45:48,643
with community partners to host

6417
03:45:48,643 --> 03:45:51,430
resource fairs for affected

6418
03:45:51,546 --> 03:45:52,213
families.

6419
03:45:52,213 --> 03:45:52,847
I will provide additional

6420
03:45:52,847 --> 03:45:53,513
details regarding specific

6421
03:45:53,513 --> 03:45:56,513
dates and locations as they

6422
03:45:56,617 --> 03:45:57,351
become available but we are

6423
03:45:57,351 --> 03:46:00,951
very thankful to our friends at

6424
03:46:01,289 --> 03:46:02,230

6425
03:46:02,230 --> 03:46:02,590
Chicano Federation, our Central

Library and many other

6427
03:46:06,427 --> 03:46:07,128
community based organizations

6428
03:46:07,128 --> 03:46:07,495
that are helping us pull this

6429
03:46:07,495 --> 03:46:08,128
together.

6430
03:46:08,128 --> 03:46:11,128
We will offer time limited

6431
03:46:11,266 --> 03:46:11,966
hardship assistance for

6432
03:46:11,966 --> 03:46:12,700
eligible families when the new

6433
03:46:12,700 --> 03:46:15,100
family contribution amounts are

6434
03:46:16,137 --> 03:46:16,804
implemented and details about

6435
03:46:16,804 --> 03:46:17,405
how to request this support

6436
03:46:17,405 --> 03:46:18,139
will be included in each

6437
03:46:18,139 --> 03:46:20,139
household's family contribution

6438
03:46:20,674 --> 03:46:21,542
letter.

6439
03:46:21,542 --> 03:46:22,276
We know families we serve MAY

6440
03:46:22,276 --> 03:46:25,246
also reach out to our community

6441
03:46:25,246 --> 03:46:25,980
based organizations and policy

6442
03:46:25,980 --> 03:46:26,313
makers for help with resources

6443
03:46:26,313 --> 03:46:27,115
as well.

6444
03:46:27,115 --> 03:46:30,715
So we are also working with

6445
03:46:30,717 --> 03:46:31,386
council offices and our state

6446
03:46:31,386 --> 03:46:32,860
and federal representatives

6447
03:46:32,860 --> 03:46:32,687
local offices and have shared

6448
03:46:32,687 --> 03:46:35,870
information and links to

6449
03:46:36,124 --> 03:46:36,858
resources with them to assist

6450
03:46:36,858 --> 03:46:37,559
families who MAY reach out with

6451
03:46:37,559 --> 03:46:40,394
questions And we have updated

6452
03:46:40,394 --> 03:46:41,620
the members of our community

6453
03:46:41,620 --> 03:46:41,730
based organization Advisory

6454
03:46:41,730 --> 03:46:42,430
Group that these changes and

6455
03:46:42,430 --> 03:46:44,830
the resources available about

6456
03:46:44,899 --> 03:46:45,632
these changes and the resources

6457
03:46:45,632 --> 03:46:48,320
available to assist affected

6458
03:46:49,870 --> 03:46:50,738
families.

6459
03:46:50,738 --> 03:46:51,272
One of the reasons we have had

6460
03:46:51,272 --> 03:46:51,940
to revise the family

6461
03:46:51,940 --> 03:46:53,940
contribution calculations in

6462
03:46:54,442 --> 03:46:55,750
our rental assistance and

6463
03:46:55,750 --> 03:46:55,776
public housing programs is

6464
03:46:55,776 --> 03:46:58,176
the ongoing uncertainty about

6465
03:46:59,146 --> 03:46:59,847
our federal funding which

6466
03:46:59,847 --> 03:47:00,382
already has been insufficient

6467
03:47:00,382 --> 03:47:01,820
for these programs.

6468
03:47:01,820 --> 03:47:04,820
We only recently received our

6469
03:47:04,151 --> 03:47:04,853
funding letter from hud.

6470
03:47:04,853 --> 03:47:05,586
Our initial assessment is that

6471
03:47:05,586 --> 03:47:09,186
funding is coming in in about

6472
03:47:09,391 --> 03:47:09,957
what we projected so we do not

6473
03:47:09,957 --> 03:47:10,592
anticipate seeing any

6474
03:47:10,592 --> 03:47:12,992
significant changes as our

6475
03:47:13,795 --> 03:47:14,950
budget comes back to you in

6476
03:47:14,950 --> 03:47:14,696
JUNE.

6477
03:47:14,696 --> 03:47:15,263
As insufficient funding

6478
03:47:15,263 --> 03:47:17,663
continues though it is

6479
03:47:18,299 --> 03:47:18,900
important for us to have

6480
03:47:18,900 --> 03:47:19,633
opportunities to connect

6481
03:47:19,633 --> 03:47:22,330
directly with federal lawmakers

6482
03:47:22,804 --> 03:47:23,505
to share our priorities and how

6483
03:47:23,505 --> 03:47:24,238
the lack of sufficient federal

6484
03:47:24,238 --> 03:47:27,238
funding affects the families we

6485
03:47:27,809 --> 03:47:28,576
serve in our community.

6486
03:47:28,576 --> 03:47:29,277
We were able to join city

6487
03:47:29,277 --> 03:47:29,911
council members and the mayor

6488
03:47:29,911 --> 03:47:32,313
at the San Diego Regional

6489
03:47:32,313 --> 03:47:35,313
Chamber of Commerce Mission to

6490
03:47:35,984 --> 03:47:36,317
Washington D.C. On APRIL 27th

6491
03:47:36,317 --> 03:47:37,850
and 28.

6492
03:47:37,850 --> 03:47:37,786
On this trip we met with

6493
03:47:37,786 --> 03:47:39,786
Representatives Sherrod Jacobs

6494
03:47:40,989 --> 03:47:41,690
and Mike Levin and the chief of

6495
03:47:41,690 --> 03:47:42,230
staff for Representative Scott

6496
03:47:42,230 --> 03:47:42,723
Peters.

6497
03:47:42,723 --> 03:47:45,526
At our meetings in Washington

6498
03:47:45,526 --> 03:47:46,227
we discussed housing

6499
03:47:46,227 --> 03:47:46,895
affordability, federal rental

6500
03:47:46,895 --> 03:47:48,895
assistance, homelessness and

6501
03:47:50,966 --> 03:47:51,700
how federal resources are

6502
03:47:51,700 --> 03:47:52,334
essential to assisting families

6503
03:47:52,334 --> 03:47:55,334
in our community and what

6504
03:47:55,771 --> 03:47:56,204
the impacts are when funding is

6505
03:47:56,204 --> 03:47:56,805
insufficient.

6506
03:47:56,805 --> 03:47:57,438
We thank the Chamber for

6507
03:47:57,438 --> 03:47:59,438
organizing this important

6508
03:48:00,575 --> 03:48:01,309
mission to Washington, D.C. And

6509
03:48:01,309 --> 03:48:02,610
for the opportunity to continue

6510
03:48:02,610 --> 03:48:05,610
to advocate with our lawmakers

6511
03:48:07,983 --> 03:48:08,784
to support our community.

6512
03:48:08,784 --> 03:48:09,418
>> State resources are also

6513
03:48:09,418 --> 03:48:12,418
crucial to the housing and

6514
03:48:12,753 --> 03:48:13,154
homelessness programs that we

6515
03:48:13,154 --> 03:48:13,755
administer.

6516
03:48:13,755 --> 03:48:14,456
A couple of weeks before

6517
03:48:14,456 --> 03:48:17,456
the Washington trip we joined

6518
03:48:17,759 --> 03:48:18,460
people assisting the homeless

6519
03:48:18,460 --> 03:48:19,630
or path and Council PRESIDENT

6520
03:48:19,630 --> 03:48:22,663
Joe LaCava on a trip to

6521
03:48:22,731 --> 03:48:23,980
Sacramento to meet with state

6522
03:48:23,980 --> 03:48:23,732
lawmakers.

6523
03:48:23,732 --> 03:48:24,399
We had the opportunity to

6524
03:48:24,399 --> 03:48:26,799
connect with state PRESIDENT

6525
03:48:27,647 --> 03:48:28,336
Pro tempore Monique Kleiman

6526
03:48:28,336 --> 03:48:29,400

03:48:33,909 --> 03:48:34,643
for the State Senate Budget

6531
03:48:34,643 --> 03:48:37,430
Subcommittee and Senate Housing

6532
03:48:37,345 --> 03:48:38,112
Committee.

6533
03:48:38,112 --> 03:48:38,780
In our meetings we talked about

6534
03:48:38,780 --> 03:48:39,448
the state's Homeless Housing

6535
03:48:39,448 --> 03:48:41,848
Assistance and Prevention or

6536
03:48:42,217 --> 03:48:42,917
hap program funding and how

6537
03:48:42,917 --> 03:48:43,585
critical that is for the city

6538
03:48:43,585 --> 03:48:46,585
to continue its efforts in

6539
03:48:47,389 --> 03:48:48,900
addressing homelessness and how

6540
03:48:48,900 --> 03:48:48,724
potential cuts to homelessness

6541
03:48:48,724 --> 03:48:51,124
services and programs can

6542
03:48:51,826 --> 03:48:52,494
impact our community.

6543
03:48:52,494 --> 03:48:53,228
You'll recall that the state

6544
03:48:53,228 --> 03:48:56,828
did not include any funding in

6545
03:48:56,932 --> 03:48:57,598
the current state budget and

6546
03:48:57,598 --> 03:48:58,200
proposed half of that amount

6547
03:48:58,200 --> 03:48:58,800
from previous years for

6548
03:48:58,800 --> 03:49:01,200
the coming fiscal year.

6549
03:49:01,836 --> 03:49:02,537
We have advocated for more

6550
03:49:02,537 --> 03:49:03,237
funding from the state and we

6551
03:49:03,237 --> 03:49:06,108
will continue to because it is

6552
03:49:06,108 --> 03:49:06,674
a crucial source of funds for

6553
03:49:06,674 --> 03:49:07,376
homelessness programs

6554
03:49:07,376 --> 03:49:09,776
the Commission administers and

6555
03:49:10,813 --> 03:49:11,580
the city funds.

6556
03:49:11,580 --> 03:49:12,214
>> We are also continuing to

6557
03:49:12,214 --> 03:49:14,214
create affordable housing

6558
03:49:16,352 --> 03:49:17,190
opportunities in our community

6559
03:49:17,190 --> 03:49:17,753
for families that need them.

6560
03:49:17,753 --> 03:49:20,589
I think we have to remember in

6561
03:49:20,589 --> 03:49:21,257
these challenging times to also

6562
03:49:21,257 --> 03:49:21,924
celebrate our successes and

6563
03:49:21,924 --> 03:49:25,193
focus on what we do well and

6564
03:49:25,193 --> 03:49:25,928
continuing to create new

6565
03:49:25,928 --> 03:49:26,562
opportunities in our community.

6566
03:49:26,562 --> 03:49:27,162
Last week our senior Vice

6567
03:49:27,162 --> 03:49:29,562
PRESIDENT Of real estate

6568
03:49:30,733 --> 03:49:31,399

6569
03:49:31,399 --> 03:49:32,670
Mayor Todd Gloria, Developer

6570

Community Housing Works and

6571
03:49:35,237 --> 03:49:35,938
additional partners at

6572
03:49:35,938 --> 03:49:36,205
the grand opening of Jacaranda

6573
03:49:36,205 --> 03:49:38,205
on.

6574
03:49:39,541 --> 03:49:40,109
This development provides 87

6575
03:49:40,109 --> 03:49:40,809
new affordable rental

6576
03:49:40,809 --> 03:49:41,242
apartments in the Cortez Hill

6577
03:49:41,242 --> 03:49:43,242
neighborhood.

6578
03:49:44,179 --> 03:49:44,813
They remain affordable for 55

6579
03:49:44,813 --> 03:49:45,381
years for households with

6580
03:49:45,381 --> 03:49:47,381
extremely low income.

6581
03:49:47,883 --> 03:49:48,516
And 14 of these units are for

6582
03:49:48,516 --> 03:49:49,154
people who have previously

6583
03:49:49,154 --> 03:49:51,154
experienced homelessness.

6584
03:49:52,321 --> 03:49:53,220
We awarded rental housing

6585
03:49:53,220 --> 03:49:53,622
vouchers to help the residents

6586
03:49:53,622 --> 03:49:54,323
pay for their housing at

6587
03:49:54,323 --> 03:49:57,323
Jacaranda and we also support

6588
03:49:57,559 --> 03:49:58,259
the development with financing

6589
03:49:58,259 --> 03:49:58,927
through a loan and multifamily

6590

6591
03:50:02,264 --> 03:50:02,631
which our board and council

6592
03:50:02,631 --> 03:50:03,299
approved.

6593
03:50:03,299 --> 03:50:06,299
The grand opening of another

6594
03:50:07,203 --> 03:50:07,903

6595
03:50:07,903 --> 03:50:08,637
celebrated the addition of 72

6596
03:50:08,637 --> 03:50:11,370

03:50:12,207 --> 03:50:12,874
low income.

6599
03:50:12,874 --> 03:50:13,608

33 rental housing vouchers to

6607
03:50:23,386 --> 03:50:25,786

03:50:27,890 --> 03:50:28,457
that site.

6611
03:50:28,457 --> 03:50:30,857
The Toronto was built

6612
03:50:31,593 --> 03:50:32,327
specifically to provide three

6613
03:50:32,327 --> 03:50:33,620
and four bedroom apartments for

6614
03:50:33,620 --> 03:50:36,662
larger families and I can't say

6615
03:50:36,832 --> 03:50:37,466
how important that is.

6616
03:50:37,466 --> 03:50:38,166
Having sites that support

6617
03:50:38,166 --> 03:50:41,303
larger families is a huge need

6618
03:50:41,303 --> 03:50:41,938
in our community and Wakelin

6619
03:50:41,938 --> 03:50:42,637
did a terrific job really

6620
03:50:42,637 --> 03:50:43,305
building a site that fits well

6621
03:50:43,305 --> 03:50:45,975
in the community and hence

6622
03:50:45,975 --> 03:50:46,675
enhances the main corridor of

6623
03:50:46,675 --> 03:50:47,143
that community with rents that

6624
03:50:47,143 --> 03:50:49,143
they can afford.

6625
03:50:50,446 --> 03:50:51,146
These families will have a

6626
03:50:51,146 --> 03:50:51,848
greater opportunity to devote

6627
03:50:51,848 --> 03:50:54,851
more of their time to research

6628
03:50:54,851 --> 03:50:55,551
and limited resources to work

6629
03:50:55,551 --> 03:50:58,551
school health and to building

6630
03:50:59,889 --> 03:51:00,656
community in their new home.

6631
03:51:00,656 --> 03:51:02,656
>> Finally we celebrated

6632
03:51:05,193 --> 03:51:05,862
the groundbreaking for a new

6633
03:51:05,862 --> 03:51:06,495
development that when it is

6634
03:51:06,495 --> 03:51:07,960
completed will provide 59

6635
03:51:07,960 --> 03:51:09,960
rental apartment homes.

6636
03:51:10,990 --> 03:51:10,833
Sarah Mesa Apartments will

6637
03:51:10,833 --> 03:51:11,501
transform a city former city of

6638
03:51:11,501 --> 03:51:14,501
San Diego Library site into

6639
03:51:15,238 --> 03:51:15,738
affordable housing a great new

6640
03:51:15,738 --> 03:51:16,472
use for that site.

6641
03:51:16,472 --> 03:51:19,541
About half of the rental homes

6642
03:51:19,541 --> 03:51:20,143
there are for veterans who

6643
03:51:20,143 --> 03:51:20,776
experience homelessness.

6644
03:51:20,776 --> 03:51:21,411
And we awarded 30 Veterans

6645
03:51:21,411 --> 03:51:23,411
Affairs supportive housing

6646
03:51:25,140 --> 03:51:25,548
vouchers to that project and

6647
03:51:25,548 --> 03:51:26,490
for those veterans.

6648
03:51:26,490 --> 03:51:28,490
We also supported

6649
03:51:29,619 --> 03:51:30,386
the development with a loan.

6650
03:51:30,386 --> 03:51:31,119
Our senior vice PRESIDENT Of

6651
03:51:31,119 --> 03:51:31,787
real estate Colin Miller joined

6652
03:51:31,787 --> 03:51:33,880
the mayor Community Housing

6653
03:51:33,880 --> 03:51:33,789
Works and additional Partners

6654
03:51:33,789 --> 03:51:36,189
for this groundbreaking on

6655
03:51:38,593 --> 03:51:39,362
APRIL 14th.

6656
03:51:39,362 --> 03:51:39,829
>> That concludes my report

6657
03:51:39,829 --> 03:51:40,463
this afternoon.

6658
03:51:40,463 --> 03:51:40,829
I thank you for your time.

6659
03:51:40,829 --> 03:51:42,829
All right.

6660
03:51:43,566 --> 03:51:44,199
Thank you for your work.

6661
03:51:44,199 --> 03:51:44,867
Under challenging times in

6662
03:51:44,867 --> 03:51:47,136
the presentation today Clerk

6663
03:51:47,136 --> 03:51:47,570
Please proceed with public

6664
03:51:47,570 --> 03:51:48,400
comment.

6665
03:51:48,400 --> 03:51:48,905
>> Allegedly.

6666
03:51:48,905 --> 03:51:52,505
Audrey if you can please come

6667
03:52:01,951 --> 03:52:02,718
forward then.

6668
03:52:02,718 --> 03:52:02,986
>> Then it's just a joke.

6669
03:52:02,986 --> 03:52:04,986
Yes.

6670
03:52:06,856 --> 03:52:07,590
So I feel like you guys

6671
03:52:07,590 --> 03:52:10,860
gaslight the people when we sit

6672
03:52:10,860 --> 03:52:11,728
and talk about affordable cause

6673
03:52:11,728 --> 03:52:15,328
I mean people cannot afford to

6674
03:52:16,650 --> 03:52:16,833
even feed their children.

6675
03:52:16,833 --> 03:52:20,433
And there has been fraud, Joe

6676
03:52:21,400 --> 03:52:21,704
with the deed restrict id units

6677
03:52:21,704 --> 03:52:24,104
continually having their rent

6678
03:52:25,474 --> 03:52:26,209
being increased So that's a

6679
03:52:26,209 --> 03:52:26,676
problem and that's what we have

6680
03:52:26,676 --> 03:52:29,760
to be weary of.

6681
03:52:31,114 --> 03:52:31,781
But it's interesting that

6682
03:52:31,781 --> 03:52:32,482
you're saying if you change

6683
03:52:32,482 --> 03:52:35,482
the calculation of the housing

6684
03:52:36,520 --> 03:52:36,486
contributions you can help all

6685
03:52:36,486 --> 03:52:37,220
of the people.

6686
03:52:37,220 --> 03:52:40,724
I'm not really sure how that

6687
03:52:40,724 --> 03:52:41,491
changes things.

6688
03:52:41,491 --> 03:52:45,691
But the problem is is like has

6689
03:52:45,761 --> 03:52:46,463
had ever been a thing that has

6690
03:52:46,463 --> 03:52:47,163
worked really well where it's

6691
03:52:47,163 --> 03:52:49,966
like people aren't waiting for

6692
03:52:49,966 --> 03:52:50,300
decades just to get into

6693
03:52:50,300 --> 03:52:51,000
housing.

6694
03:52:51,000 --> 03:52:51,601
Like that's what's the problem

6695
03:52:51,601 --> 03:52:54,601
is that it's never been

6696
03:52:54,937 --> 03:52:55,571
something that's been fully

6697
03:52:55,571 --> 03:52:56,273
funded that it's like all

6698
03:52:56,273 --> 03:52:59,273
the people that actually need

6699
03:52:59,275 --> 03:53:00,110
to use it are able to.

6700
03:53:00,110 --> 03:53:03,710
And another problem is is that

6701
03:53:04,480 --> 03:53:05,181
of course we want to help all

6702
03:53:05,181 --> 03:53:05,849
people but when you guys want

6703
03:53:05,849 --> 03:53:09,850
to help people who have come

6704
03:53:09,850 --> 03:53:09,786
here illegally over the people

6705
03:53:09,786 --> 03:53:10,420
in our community, it's a slap

6706
03:53:10,420 --> 03:53:13,420
in the face because again

6707
03:53:14,424 --> 03:53:15,125
people have been waiting for

6708
03:53:15,125 --> 03:53:15,692
decades to get into housing

6709
03:53:15,692 --> 03:53:18,920
that have lived here.

6710
03:53:18,861 --> 03:53:19,662
And then we go ahead and we

6711
03:53:19,662 --> 03:53:23,533
give people a front of the line

6712
03:53:23,533 --> 03:53:24,234
type of access.

6713
03:53:24,234 --> 03:53:27,234
And so it's negligence like

6714
03:53:28,637 --> 03:53:29,339
that that has led to these

6715
03:53:29,339 --> 03:53:29,739
programs not working or being

6716
03:53:29,739 --> 03:53:30,306
underfunded.

6717
03:53:30,306 --> 03:53:33,306
I mean you wonder why

6718
03:53:33,543 --> 03:53:33,943
the federal government is

6719
03:53:33,943 --> 03:53:34,711
making cuts.

6720
03:53:34,711 --> 03:53:35,145
It's like I'm not saying what

6721
03:53:35,145 --> 03:53:35,746
they're doing.

6722
03:53:35,746 --> 03:53:38,746
I mean all government is

6723
03:53:38,748 --> 03:53:39,449
corrupt but there's reasons why

6724
03:53:39,449 --> 03:53:40,116
this kind of stuff happens And

6725
03:53:40,116 --> 03:53:43,153
it's like if we can't help

6726
03:53:43,153 --> 03:53:43,854
people in our own community and

6727
03:53:43,854 --> 03:53:47,454
we're like We're going to help

6728
03:53:47,991 --> 03:53:48,758
you, it's like what does that

6729
03:53:48,758 --> 03:53:49,626
say to them when you say that

6730
03:53:49,626 --> 03:53:53,195
you care And then you're like

6731
03:53:53,195 --> 03:53:53,930
Well I mean if you're homeless

6732
03:53:53,930 --> 03:53:54,698
and you're in Cesar Chavez Park

6733
03:53:54,698 --> 03:53:58,100
and you're an illegal we'll go

6734
03:53:58,100 --> 03:53:58,602
ahead and put you into housing

6735
03:53:58,602 --> 03:53:59,102
because this is a really

6736
03:53:59,102 --> 03:54:01,102
sensitive subject.

6737
03:54:02,505 --> 03:54:02,906
But it's like people are on

6738
03:54:02,906 --> 03:54:03,573
the streets.

6739
03:54:03,573 --> 03:54:06,573
People go outside here every

6740
03:54:07,744 --> 03:54:08,445
day and just wait for the same

6741
03:54:08,445 --> 03:54:09,112
I'm sorry at the five minute

6742
03:54:09,112 --> 03:54:12,112
time we're going to those

6743
03:54:12,149 --> 03:54:12,783
participating remotely We have

6744
03:54:12,783 --> 03:54:13,350
two speakers in the queue

6745
03:54:13,350 --> 03:54:15,350
starting with Gambler.

6746
03:54:16,620 --> 03:54:17,788
If you can please unmute.

6747
03:54:17,788 --> 03:54:21,291
>> So you guys know you're full

6748
03:54:21,291 --> 03:54:22,326
of right?

6749
03:54:22,326 --> 03:54:26,296
I went ahead and took a look at

6750
03:54:26,296 --> 03:54:26,896
all the deals so basically as

6751
03:54:26,896 --> 03:54:30,496
long as they do the bare

6752
03:54:30,867 --> 03:54:31,568
minimum and provide you

6753
03:54:31,568 --> 03:54:32,169
the bare minimum housing on a

6754
03:54:32,169 --> 03:54:34,569
project you'll give them

6755
03:54:35,839 --> 03:54:36,706
maximum benefits.

6756
03:54:36,706 --> 03:54:37,374
Matter of fact if you wipe out

6757
03:54:37,374 --> 03:54:39,774
parking you'll give them

6758
03:54:40,310 --> 03:54:41,770
benefits.

6759
03:54:41,770 --> 03:54:44,677
You will go ahead and reduce

6760
03:54:45,515 --> 03:54:46,150
rules and regulations just to

6761
03:54:46,150 --> 03:54:49,150
go ahead and make everyone

6762
03:54:50,860 --> 03:54:50,721
around that building's lights a

6763
03:54:50,721 --> 03:54:51,421
living meaning you're not

6764
03:54:51,421 --> 03:54:52,560
going to go ahead and provide

6765
03:54:52,560 --> 03:54:54,456
enough parking in these

6766
03:54:55,558 --> 03:54:56,159
locations which is going to go

6767
03:54:56,159 --> 03:54:56,493
ahead and eat up parking

6768
03:54:56,493 --> 03:54:58,493
spaces.

6769
03:55:00,130 --> 03:55:00,764
And businesses are not going to

6770
03:55:00,764 --> 03:55:03,764
get the foot traffic that

6771
03:55:04,702 --> 03:55:05,402
they're expecting that

6772
03:55:05,402 --> 03:55:06,360
the buildings aren't going to

6773
03:55:06,360 --> 03:55:06,736
be filled out because they

6774
03:55:06,736 --> 03:55:07,137
really don't have any parking

6775
03:55:07,137 --> 03:55:09,137
around them.

6776
03:55:10,707 --> 03:55:11,400
And these places are going to

6777
03:55:11,400 --> 03:55:11,775
go help.

6778
03:55:11,775 --> 03:55:14,775
But how that land developers

6779
03:55:14,811 --> 03:55:15,512
are making a killing deal

6780
03:55:15,512 --> 03:55:16,180
because of the how many breaks

6781
03:55:16,180 --> 03:55:16,847
that you give them, how many

6782
03:55:16,847 --> 03:55:18,983
guarantees of money you give

6783
03:55:18,983 --> 03:55:19,683
them.

6784
03:55:19,683 --> 03:55:20,160
This isn't about solving a

6785
03:55:20,160 --> 03:55:22,160
problem.

6786
03:55:24,321 --> 03:55:25,156
This is about funneling money.

6787
03:55:25,156 --> 03:55:25,856
And then now you're off at

6788
03:55:25,856 --> 03:55:28,256
the federal government because

6789
03:55:28,792 --> 03:55:29,293
there's money that they gave

6790
03:55:29,293 --> 03:55:30,260
you to help out.

6791
03:55:30,260 --> 03:55:33,831
The problem was not to create a

6792
03:55:33,831 --> 03:55:34,131
endless problem where you don't

6793
03:55:34,131 --> 03:55:34,632
solve.

6794
03:55:34,632 --> 03:55:36,632
They want answers.

6795
03:55:38,234 --> 03:55:38,736
They want accountability.

6796
03:55:38,736 --> 03:55:39,470
They want records.

6797
03:55:39,470 --> 03:55:43,700
You don't want to provide them.

6798
03:55:43,730 --> 03:55:43,907
That's your job, not the NGOs.

6799
03:55:43,907 --> 03:55:47,677
It's your job to make sure that

6800
03:55:47,677 --> 03:55:48,450
they're spending that money

6801
03:55:48,450 --> 03:55:48,579
properly.

6802
03:55:48,579 --> 03:55:49,380
You're saying that.

6803
03:55:49,380 --> 03:55:50,470
We don't need to go ahead and

6804
03:55:50,470 --> 03:55:52,983
look at that at all.

6805
03:55:52,983 --> 03:55:53,316
We don't have to provide

6806
03:55:53,316 --> 03:55:54,510
numbers.

6807
03:55:54,510 --> 03:55:54,385
We don't have to show who we're

6808
03:55:54,385 --> 03:55:56,385
housing.

6809
03:55:57,854 --> 03:55:58,655
We just have to tell the people

6810
03:55:58,655 --> 03:56:02,855
And then when they ask we tell

6811
03:56:02,893 --> 03:56:03,861
them to us right?

6812
03:56:03,861 --> 03:56:04,428
I mean that's how you guys run.

6813
03:56:04,428 --> 03:56:05,162
It doesn't matter who.

6814
03:56:05,162 --> 03:56:08,320
And if the PRESIDENT Of

6815
03:56:08,320 --> 03:56:08,899
the United States good to ask

6816
03:56:08,899 --> 03:56:12,370
you and you tell them to off.

6817
03:56:12,370 --> 03:56:13,400
>> So who do you listen to?

6818
03:56:13,400 --> 03:56:13,637
Apparently not the people.

6819
03:56:13,637 --> 03:56:14,370
Apparently not the federal

6820
03:56:14,370 --> 03:56:16,370
government.

6821
03:56:17,274 --> 03:56:18,900
Do you only listen to

6822
03:56:18,900 --> 03:56:18,642
the unions and NGOs that you go

6823
03:56:18,642 --> 03:56:21,212
ahead and follow the money

6824
03:56:21,212 --> 03:56:21,979
through?

6825
03:56:21,979 --> 03:56:22,580
>> Is that the only people that

6826
03:56:22,580 --> 03:56:23,414
your time has concluded?

6827
03:56:23,414 --> 03:56:26,414
Hector, if you can please

6828
03:56:29,353 --> 03:56:30,120
unmute.

6829
03:56:30,120 --> 03:56:33,560
My thanks for taking my call.

6830
03:56:33,560 --> 03:56:33,724
As you know I'm in for the mass

6831
03:56:33,724 --> 03:56:35,724
rapid deportation of

6832
03:56:38,729 --> 03:56:41,465
the illegal aliens who live in

6833
03:56:41,465 --> 03:56:42,166
San Diego County and there

6834
03:56:42,166 --> 03:56:42,833
75,000 of them on Medi-Cal

6835
03:56:42,833 --> 03:56:45,233
which threatening the health

6836
03:56:47,138 --> 03:56:47,805
care system plus their families

6837
03:56:47,805 --> 03:56:50,805
and stuff they can take

6838
03:56:51,375 --> 03:56:52,760
the thousand dollars and go

6839
03:56:52,760 --> 03:56:52,376
back to whatever country they

6840
03:56:52,376 --> 03:56:53,144
came.

6841
03:56:53,144 --> 03:56:56,180
So that's going to create a lot

6842
03:56:56,180 --> 03:56:56,547
of new lower rents for

6843
03:56:56,547 --> 03:56:58,547
everybody.

6844
03:57:00,551 --> 03:57:01,520
100,000 people are gone from

6845
03:57:01,520 --> 03:57:01,719
San Diego County.

6846
03:57:01,719 --> 03:57:04,455
Just think the rents coming

6847
03:57:04,455 --> 03:57:05,123
down.

6848
03:57:05,123 --> 03:57:07,523
Competition for lower rents.

6849
03:57:09,360 --> 03:57:09,727
It'll be really a gold mine to

6850
03:57:09,727 --> 03:57:10,328
everybody.

6851
03:57:10,328 --> 03:57:12,728
People off the streets.

6852
03:57:13,931 --> 03:57:14,632
I don't think Trump is going to

6853
03:57:14,632 --> 03:57:14,932
give you guys any more federal

6854
03:57:14,932 --> 03:57:16,932
money.

6855
03:57:18,236 --> 03:57:19,300
He might even take it back So

6856
03:57:19,300 --> 03:57:19,336
he might even delay some more

6857
03:57:19,336 --> 03:57:20,400
of it.

6858
03:57:20,400 --> 03:57:23,400
So there's no hope there.

6859
03:57:23,774 --> 03:57:24,541
But I think if once we reset

6860
03:57:24,541 --> 03:57:28,141
San Diego and San Diego County

6861
03:57:28,713 --> 03:57:29,346
with no illegal aliens and get

6862
03:57:29,346 --> 03:57:31,746
tight on immigration, it's

6863
03:57:33,717 --> 03:57:34,318
going to be a lot better from

6864
03:57:34,318 --> 03:57:34,852
everybody and especially

6865
03:57:34,852 --> 03:57:35,253
the people living on

6866
03:57:35,253 --> 03:57:37,253
the street.

6867
03:57:37,789 --> 03:57:38,225
It's going to make it easier

6868
03:57:38,225 --> 03:57:39,560
for you guys.

6869
03:57:39,560 --> 03:57:42,359
Plus we're going to have to go

6870
03:57:42,359 --> 03:57:43,270
against the drug dealers too

6871
03:57:43,270 --> 03:57:43,427
and that's going to require

6872
03:57:43,427 --> 03:57:45,427
the Marines.

6873
03:57:47,232 --> 03:57:47,898
We're going to have some cops

6874
03:57:47,898 --> 03:57:48,900
in here with the housing.

6875
03:57:48,900 --> 03:57:53,100
Look at look at these high rise

6876
03:57:53,338 --> 03:57:54,500
high Are they do those guys

6877
03:57:54,500 --> 03:57:57,500
have illegal aliens in them?

6878
03:57:57,400 --> 03:57:57,675
The housing authority guys they

6879
03:57:57,675 --> 03:58:01,275
opened up the books to ice

6880
03:58:01,980 --> 03:58:02,680
because who's living there They

6881
03:58:02,680 --> 03:58:03,140
can have Yes, they're illegal

6882
03:58:03,140 --> 03:58:03,680
either.

6883
03:58:03,680 --> 03:58:06,680
They can't have their their

6884
03:58:06,951 --> 03:58:07,619
girlfriend move in with them

6885
03:58:07,619 --> 03:58:11,219
and stuff like that or their

6886
03:58:12,724 --> 03:58:13,591
kids from this guy or that.

6887
03:58:13,591 --> 03:58:16,594
So we can really you know we

6888
03:58:16,594 --> 03:58:17,295
don't have to thing we just

6889
03:58:17,295 --> 03:58:17,729
leave We wouldn't have to get

6890
03:58:17,729 --> 03:58:19,729
tough on them.

6891
03:58:20,732 --> 03:58:21,499
You know they got enough time

6892
03:58:21,499 --> 03:58:22,466
now they can think about it.

6893
03:58:22,466 --> 03:58:26,437
You got to make a decision and

6894
03:58:26,437 --> 03:58:27,105
you delay or just move back to

6895
03:58:27,105 --> 03:58:30,105
your country and take your

6896
03:58:31,176 --> 03:58:31,543
thousand dollars.

6897
03:58:31,543 --> 03:58:32,430
>> Okay.

6898
03:58:32,430 --> 03:58:32,911
Thanks a lot.

6899
03:58:32,911 --> 03:58:35,846
And Blair Beekman, our final

6900
03:58:35,846 --> 03:58:36,247
speaker.

6901
03:58:36,247 --> 03:58:36,615
All right.

6902
03:58:36,615 --> 03:58:37,150
Thank you.

6903
03:58:37,150 --> 03:58:39,150
Big Ben.

6904
03:58:40,219 --> 03:58:40,918
Thanks for the report.

6905
03:58:40,918 --> 03:58:43,918
It was interesting to hear.

6906
03:58:45,223 --> 03:58:48,826
I just had a quick thought and

6907
03:58:48,826 --> 03:58:49,393
hopefully from the JULY 2025

6908
03:58:49,393 --> 03:58:50,940
meeting of the Housing

6909
03:58:50,940 --> 03:58:53,940
Authority on the previous item

6910
03:58:53,898 --> 03:58:54,466
that they can be possibly a

6911
03:58:54,466 --> 03:58:55,133
good mediator between

6912
03:58:55,133 --> 03:58:58,133
the mayor's office and what

6913
03:58:58,402 --> 03:58:59,103
council PRESIDENT Moreno was

6914
03:58:59,103 --> 03:59:02,103
working towards and good luck

6915
03:59:03,440 --> 03:59:04,109
in such efforts of mediation.

6916
03:59:04,109 --> 03:59:04,643
I think a good mediation

6917
03:59:04,643 --> 03:59:06,643
process can happen.

6918
03:59:09,140 --> 03:59:09,314
And thanks for for this item as

6919
03:59:09,314 --> 03:59:09,747
well.

6920
03:59:09,747 --> 03:59:10,582
>> Thank you.

6921
03:59:10,582 --> 03:59:13,517
That does call for public

6922
03:59:13,517 --> 03:59:13,985
comment on this item.

6923
03:59:13,985 --> 03:59:14,718
>> All right.

6924
03:59:14,718 --> 03:59:18,560
Thank you, City Clerk I'll turn

6925
03:59:18,560 --> 03:59:18,723
it over to agency member for

6926
03:59:18,723 --> 03:59:21,723
any questions or comments of

6927
03:59:23,929 --> 03:59:24,629
our executive director.

6928
03:59:24,629 --> 03:59:24,896
>> Councilmember Lipman Thank

6929
03:59:24,896 --> 03:59:26,896
you.

6930
03:59:27,833 --> 03:59:28,533
Agency PRESIDENT LaCava I just

6931
03:59:28,533 --> 03:59:28,934
want to thank MS. Jones for

6932
03:59:28,934 --> 03:59:30,934
the update.

6933
03:59:32,704 --> 03:59:33,405
This report but also thank you

6934
03:59:33,405 --> 03:59:35,805
and Council PRESIDENT McCarver

6935
03:59:37,441 --> 03:59:38,176
for your advocacy work in

6936
03:59:38,176 --> 03:59:41,176
Sacramento and Washington dc to

6937
03:59:42,581 --> 03:59:43,800
preserve funding to help people

6938
03:59:43,800 --> 03:59:43,949
who are homeless.

6939
03:59:43,949 --> 03:59:47,549
These are people who many cases

6940
03:59:47,718 --> 03:59:48,654
literally have nothing.

6941
03:59:48,654 --> 03:59:49,555
So it is crucial that we offer

6942
03:59:49,555 --> 03:59:52,240
them shelter and help them as

6943
03:59:52,240 --> 03:59:52,791
best that we can.

6944
03:59:52,791 --> 03:59:53,492
If your hard work and advocacy

6945
03:59:53,492 --> 03:59:56,492
to preserve funding will help

6946
03:59:57,729 --> 03:59:58,196
us do that.

6947
03:59:58,196 --> 03:59:58,897
So thank you.

6948
03:59:58,897 --> 03:59:59,264
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

6949
03:59:59,264 --> 03:59:59,932
All right.

6950
03:59:59,932 --> 04:00:00,499
Thank you for your comments,

6951
04:00:00,499 --> 04:00:01,934
Councilmember Whipper.

6952
04:00:01,934 --> 04:00:02,333
We'll go next to Councilmember

6953
04:00:02,333 --> 04:00:02,901
Ila Rivera.

6954
04:00:02,901 --> 04:00:03,268
>> Thank you, Council

6955
04:00:03,268 --> 04:00:05,268
PRESIDENT.

6956
04:00:08,390 --> 04:00:08,340
Thank you, Lisa for the update

6957
04:00:08,340 --> 04:00:09,400
.

6958
04:00:09,400 --> 04:00:09,675
Just extraordinarily difficult

6959
04:00:09,675 --> 04:00:12,750
circumstances to be doing

6960
04:00:12,878 --> 04:00:13,412
The work that you do and

6961
04:00:13,412 --> 04:00:14,146
appreciate you being

6962
04:00:14,146 --> 04:00:16,546
transparent with the challenges

6963
04:00:18,500 --> 04:00:18,784
that we're facing and that

6964
04:00:18,784 --> 04:00:21,784
the residents of our properties

6965
04:00:22,154 --> 04:00:22,921
are facing as well.

6966
04:00:22,921 --> 04:00:25,321
It feels especially frustrating

6967
04:00:27,359 --> 04:00:27,926
because then you'd have to

6968
04:00:27,926 --> 04:00:28,626
respond to this part.

6969
04:00:28,626 --> 04:00:31,260
It feels extremely unnecessary

6970
04:00:31,830 --> 04:00:35,430
given what the Trump regime is

6971
04:00:35,701 --> 04:00:36,502
just instead spending money on

6972
04:00:36,502 --> 04:00:39,502
spending money on the things

6973
04:00:41,306 --> 04:00:41,974
that we do while seniors and

6974
04:00:41,974 --> 04:00:44,374
other vulnerable people are

6975
04:00:45,677 --> 04:00:46,312
going to be stretched even more

6976
04:00:46,312 --> 04:00:47,146
thin and families will be

6977
04:00:47,146 --> 04:00:50,282
pushed to the brink if not into

6978
04:00:50,282 --> 04:00:52,282
homelessness is incredibly,

6979
04:00:55,454 --> 04:00:56,221
incredibly frustrating.

6980
04:00:56,221 --> 04:00:59,821
And yeah, I'm just I'm sorry

6981
04:01:00,459 --> 04:01:01,193
that your work has made that

6982
04:01:01,193 --> 04:01:01,526
much more difficult as a result

6983
04:01:01,526 --> 04:01:02,194
of that.

6984
04:01:02,194 --> 04:01:05,664
So again as always thank you

6985
04:01:05,664 --> 04:01:06,332
for the update and we'll have

6986
04:01:06,332 --> 04:01:06,698
to just keep plugging away.

6987
04:01:06,698 --> 04:01:07,198
Thank you.

6988
04:01:07,198 --> 04:01:09,198
Council PRESIDENT.

6989
04:01:10,536 --> 04:01:11,200
All right.

6990
04:01:11,200 --> 04:01:11,704
>> Thank you.

6991
04:01:11,704 --> 04:01:12,337
Council member Ella Rivera or

6992
04:01:12,337 --> 04:01:14,737
agency member Ella Rivera.

6993
04:01:16,108 --> 04:01:16,441
Didn't want to stand out there

6994
04:01:16,441 --> 04:01:17,109
Council.

6995
04:01:17,109 --> 04:01:17,742
Councilmember Lippert Yeah,

6996
04:01:17,742 --> 04:01:20,450
I'll just have my thanks.

6997
04:01:20,450 --> 04:01:20,746
You know, using extraordinary

6998
04:01:20,746 --> 04:01:23,746
difficult times and forced you

6999
04:01:24,820 --> 04:01:27,820
to make very hard decisions

7000
04:01:28,987 --> 04:01:29,788
with how to spread the finite

7001
04:01:29,788 --> 04:01:32,788
dollars to the most families

7002
04:01:34,260 --> 04:01:34,894
going forward.

7003
04:01:34,894 --> 04:01:39,940
And I'm hoping that we see some

7004
04:01:39,131 --> 04:01:39,799
action at the state level in

7005
04:01:39,799 --> 04:01:40,499
terms of the hap funding and

7006
04:01:40,499 --> 04:01:42,868
hopefully that advocacy works.

7007
04:01:42,868 --> 04:01:43,601
I know going to D.C. Is a tough

7008
04:01:43,601 --> 04:01:44,303
conversation although we have a

7009
04:01:44,303 --> 04:01:44,603
lot of sympathetic legislators

7010
04:01:44,603 --> 04:01:46,603
there.

7011
04:01:48,440 --> 04:01:49,240
So just the predictability and

7012
04:01:49,240 --> 04:01:52,645
the reliability would be a big

7013
04:01:52,645 --> 04:01:53,412
benefit if nothing else.

7014
04:01:53,412 --> 04:01:57,120
So thank you again for taking

7015
04:01:57,383 --> 04:01:58,117
the time to come out and making

7016
04:01:58,117 --> 04:01:58,818

7017
04:01:58,818 --> 04:02:01,821

7022
04:02:08,227 --> 04:02:10,227
was required.

7023
04:02:12,264 --> 04:02:12,932
We will proceed next with

7024
04:02:12,932 --> 04:02:13,432

have one minute per item per

7035
04:02:25,911 --> 04:02:26,646
person.

7036
04:02:26,646 --> 04:02:29,480
The minutes being approved are

7037
04:02:29,480 --> 04:02:29,649
for the items The meetings of

7038
04:02:29,649 --> 04:02:31,649
Tuesday MARCH 17th, 2026

7039
04:02:33,520 --> 04:02:33,486
Special and Monday, APRIL 20th,

7040
04:02:33,486 --> 04:02:35,486
2026 Special.

7041
04:02:38,324 --> 04:02:38,658
We have Audra here allegedly

7042
04:02:38,658 --> 04:02:39,324
Audra.

7043
04:02:39,324 --> 04:02:39,625
Two minutes Please proceed.

7044
04:02:39,625 --> 04:02:41,625
Yeah.

7045
04:02:43,496 --> 04:02:44,196
Stephen quit pretending like

7046
04:02:44,196 --> 04:02:44,897
you care about homeless people

7047
04:02:44,897 --> 04:02:45,264
because they're dying in your

7048
04:02:45,264 --> 04:02:45,531
district.

7049
04:02:45,531 --> 04:02:47,531
Yes.

7050
04:02:48,134 --> 04:02:48,835
i don't understand why in

7051
04:02:48,835 --> 04:02:51,235
the housing authority minutes

7052
04:02:53,539 --> 04:02:54,239
you don't put anything for

7053
04:02:54,239 --> 04:02:54,907
regarding like a non agenda

7054
04:02:54,907 --> 04:02:57,907
public comment and then you

7055
04:02:58,511 --> 04:02:59,450
will do it in your minutes for

7056
04:02:59,450 --> 04:03:01,450
the council meeting.

7057
04:03:02,982 --> 04:03:03,516
So isn't it the same person

7058
04:03:03,516 --> 04:03:04,500
taking the minutes?

7059
04:03:04,500 --> 04:03:05,117
I would think so.

7060
04:03:05,117 --> 04:03:07,854
So I think you should be more

7061
04:03:07,854 --> 04:03:08,727
equitable.

7062
04:03:08,727 --> 04:03:09,288
And then in APRIL 20th you were

7063
04:03:09,288 --> 04:03:09,689
talking about employee

7064
04:03:09,689 --> 04:03:11,689
evaluations.

7065
04:03:13,126 --> 04:03:13,993
I think we need to just really

7066
04:03:13,993 --> 04:03:17,230
be mindful of how things are

7067
04:03:17,230 --> 04:03:18,640
not, you know, getting better

7068
04:03:18,640 --> 04:03:21,664
And so yet we continue to

7069
04:03:21,935 --> 04:03:22,502
increase salaries.

7070
04:03:22,502 --> 04:03:23,303
It's interesting.

7071
04:03:23,303 --> 04:03:26,639
Usually that used to be based

7072
04:03:26,639 --> 04:03:27,406
on like employee evaluation It

7073
04:03:27,406 --> 04:03:31,600
would be like a, you know,

7074
04:03:31,945 --> 04:03:32,812
individual basis And we seem to

7075
04:03:32,812 --> 04:03:36,682
do things in like a group like

7076
04:03:36,682 --> 04:03:37,482
let's just like your consent

7077
04:03:37,482 --> 04:03:37,816
get it all done, you know what

7078
04:03:37,816 --> 04:03:38,517
I mean?

7079
04:03:38,517 --> 04:03:41,517
Instead of really looking at

7080
04:03:41,654 --> 04:03:42,422
people's ability to really

7081
04:03:42,422 --> 04:03:45,422
increase the people getting off

7082
04:03:46,793 --> 04:03:47,193
the streets instead it just

7083
04:03:47,193 --> 04:03:49,193
gets worse.

7084
04:03:51,300 --> 04:03:51,633
But I guess that's what we pay

7085
04:03:51,633 --> 04:03:52,332
people for So that's

7086
04:03:52,332 --> 04:03:54,732
interesting and projects and

7087
04:03:56,402 --> 04:03:57,103
initiatives It's like I'm

7088
04:03:57,103 --> 04:04:00,103
wondering when we're going to

7089
04:04:00,573 --> 04:04:01,441
be evaluating Tent City.

7090
04:04:01,441 --> 04:04:05,440
I mean you guys have a lawsuit

7091
04:04:05,440 --> 04:04:05,712
and just it's going on.

7092
04:04:05,712 --> 04:04:08,712
You guys tried to claim

7093
04:04:09,782 --> 04:04:10,550
immunity which is really sad

7094
04:04:10,550 --> 04:04:14,150
because it's like I mean you

7095
04:04:14,420 --> 04:04:15,121
guys have you any of you been

7096
04:04:15,121 --> 04:04:15,789
down there to see what's

7097
04:04:15,789 --> 04:04:17,789
happening especially Stephen

7098
04:04:19,659 --> 04:04:20,260
No, just Theresa Just tell you

7099
04:04:20,260 --> 04:04:20,593
what's up.

7100
04:04:20,593 --> 04:04:21,527
She's like it's good.

7101
04:04:21,527 --> 04:04:24,196
I want people to stay here as

7102
04:04:24,196 --> 04:04:25,310
long as possible.

7103
04:04:25,310 --> 04:04:28,310
That should be terrifying to

7104
04:04:29,102 --> 04:04:29,869
you guys.

7105
04:04:29,869 --> 04:04:30,770
Isn't the idea to get them off

7106
04:04:30,770 --> 04:04:34,241
the streets not keep them in a

7107
04:04:34,241 --> 04:04:35,800
program?

7108
04:04:35,800 --> 04:04:35,575
I guess not because that's not

7109
04:04:35,575 --> 04:04:36,375
where the money's at.

7110
04:04:36,375 --> 04:04:38,745
You guys are good at ignoring

7111
04:04:38,745 --> 04:04:39,245
people.

7112
04:04:39,245 --> 04:04:40,580
It's awesome love.

7113
04:04:40,580 --> 04:04:44,180
It just shows how efficient you

7114
04:04:47,454 --> 04:04:48,121
guys are.

7115
04:04:48,121 --> 04:04:48,755
>> Let's try the five minute

7116
04:04:48,755 --> 04:04:49,321
time We're going to those

7117
04:04:49,321 --> 04:04:50,230
participating remotely

7118
04:04:50,230 --> 04:04:50,690
The Gambler Please let me know

7119
04:04:50,690 --> 04:04:53,690
which minutes you'd like to

7120
04:04:55,394 --> 04:04:59,594
speak to or both How many total

7121
04:05:00,400 --> 04:05:00,799
would you like Follow.

7122
04:05:00,799 --> 04:05:01,268
Okay.

7123
04:05:01,268 --> 04:05:02,135
Please proceed.

7124
04:05:02,135 --> 04:05:05,735
So let let's go ahead and

7125
04:05:05,906 --> 04:05:06,606
clarify who you guys work for

7126
04:05:06,606 --> 04:05:07,273
As you guys flat out stated

7127
04:05:07,273 --> 04:05:09,376
the PRESIDENT Of the United

7128
04:05:09,376 --> 04:05:10,100
States I mean well just

7129
04:05:10,100 --> 04:05:10,576
recognize that the United

7130
04:05:10,576 --> 04:05:13,576
States was voted in by

7131
04:05:14,747 --> 04:05:18,347
the people You would agree with

7132
04:05:18,785 --> 04:05:19,519
the PRESIDENT Of the United

7133
04:05:19,519 --> 04:05:20,120
States is basically disagreeing

7134
04:05:20,120 --> 04:05:23,120
with the people you not

7135
04:05:23,490 --> 04:05:24,257
listening to the people in your

7136
04:05:24,257 --> 04:05:27,257
own district is also another

7137
04:05:29,262 --> 04:05:32,262
indication you could give a

7138
04:05:33,333 --> 04:05:33,834
fact that the people so who do

7139
04:05:33,834 --> 04:05:34,667
you work for?

7140
04:05:34,667 --> 04:05:37,603
It's my question Do I have to

7141
04:05:37,603 --> 04:05:38,271
look at all the angles that you

7142
04:05:38,271 --> 04:05:39,720
were signed up with And then

7143
04:05:39,720 --> 04:05:42,209
when we finally go ahead and do

7144
04:05:42,209 --> 04:05:42,876
an investigation on

7145
04:05:42,876 --> 04:05:43,576
the registration cards that

7146
04:05:43,576 --> 04:05:46,576
come through the online portal

7147
04:05:47,381 --> 04:05:48,348
from these organizations that

7148
04:05:48,348 --> 04:05:49,215
you guys are in bed with, are

7149
04:05:49,215 --> 04:05:53,415
we going to find out that they

7150
04:05:53,654 --> 04:05:54,540
have committed fraud to keep

7151
04:05:54,540 --> 04:05:54,821
you elected?

7152
04:05:54,821 --> 04:05:57,657
I'm reading that I'm going to

7153
04:05:57,657 --> 04:05:58,558
be teaching I mean I'm telling

7154
04:05:58,558 --> 04:06:02,158
people how it's done that by

7155
04:06:02,329 --> 04:06:02,962
step The more people doing it

7156
04:06:02,962 --> 04:06:05,362
it gets exacerbated until

7157
04:06:07,660 --> 04:06:07,501
finally we have to do that

7158
04:06:07,501 --> 04:06:08,202
investigation.

7159
04:06:08,202 --> 04:06:11,405
I'm hoping that this is going

7160
04:06:11,405 --> 04:06:15,500
to happen sooner than later if

7161
04:06:16,776 --> 04:06:17,511
it takes me flat out oh,

7162
04:06:17,511 --> 04:06:21,348
the law is telling people to do

7163
04:06:21,348 --> 04:06:22,115
it surgically how you should go

7164
04:06:22,115 --> 04:06:22,916
ahead and prescribe This is how

7165
04:06:22,916 --> 04:06:25,853
you do it in every single

7166
04:06:25,853 --> 04:06:26,620
aspect in order to get that out

7167
04:06:26,620 --> 04:06:26,953
there I am more than happy to

7168
04:06:26,953 --> 04:06:28,953
do that.

7169
04:06:30,791 --> 04:06:34,991
So think wisely If you want to

7170
04:06:35,280 --> 04:06:35,929
go ahead and say that that

7171
04:06:35,929 --> 04:06:38,329
organization and do their

7172
04:06:40,367 --> 04:06:43,967

notes any who I'm just

7247
04:08:46,627 --> 04:08:49,627
wondering if you guys could

7248
04:08:50,431 --> 04:08:53,431
humble yourselves for a minute

7249
04:08:55,436 --> 04:08:56,103
Like real people with a soul

7250
04:08:56,103 --> 04:08:56,904
and think about what you're

7251
04:08:56,904 --> 04:08:59,904
doing with the litigation with

7252
04:09:00,308 --> 04:09:03,908
tent City and how time and

7253
04:09:09,817 --> 04:09:10,518
again over 365 very long time I

7254
04:09:10,518 --> 04:09:10,918
have been bringing you guys

7255
04:09:10,918 --> 04:09:11,619
information.

7256
04:09:11,619 --> 04:09:14,989
People from Ten City have been

7257
04:09:14,989 --> 04:09:15,656
bringing you guys information

7258
04:09:15,656 --> 04:09:16,290
and you're facing litigation

7259
04:09:16,290 --> 04:09:18,690
regarding the abuse that's

7260
04:09:20,610 --> 04:09:20,762
taking place there And this has

7261
04:09:20,762 --> 04:09:21,362
nothing to do with the deaths

7262
04:09:21,362 --> 04:09:23,762
or the sexual assaults.

7263
04:09:24,365 --> 04:09:25,660
This just has to do with

7264
04:09:25,660 --> 04:09:28,660
the living conditions that you

7265
04:09:29,103 --> 04:09:29,904
guys have been having these

7266
04:09:29,904 --> 04:09:34,104
people live in and the city is

7267
04:09:34,242 --> 04:09:34,943
on the property along with

7268
04:09:34,943 --> 04:09:35,610
Dreams for Change in Downtown

7269
04:09:35,610 --> 04:09:38,100
Partnership Are you contract

7270
04:09:39,280 --> 04:09:40,800
with Downtown Partnership to

7271
04:09:40,800 --> 04:09:44,280
come in and keep the city clean

7272
04:09:44,519 --> 04:09:45,220
and also clean up the people

7273
04:09:45,220 --> 04:09:48,220
the homeless that sit outside

7274
04:09:48,722 --> 04:09:49,457
City Hall every day at 6 A.M.

7275
04:09:49,457 --> 04:09:53,570
And around downtown so that you

7276
04:09:53,728 --> 04:09:54,529
don't have to look at it.

7277
04:09:54,529 --> 04:09:55,463
And the city attorney is trying

7278
04:09:55,463 --> 04:09:59,166
to say that you guys are immune

7279
04:09:59,166 --> 04:09:59,768
from anything and that this

7280
04:09:59,768 --> 04:10:02,768
isn't a shelter and that

7281
04:10:03,804 --> 04:10:04,404
basically these people should

7282
04:10:04,404 --> 04:10:07,404
be abused like they are.

7283
04:10:08,810 --> 04:10:09,510
And at that same moment in

7284
04:10:09,510 --> 04:10:10,211
the hearing in federal court,

7285
04:10:10,211 --> 04:10:11,246
Theresa Smith is sitting here

7286
04:10:11,246 --> 04:10:14,846
and talking to you guys about

7287
04:10:16,818 --> 04:10:17,419
getting more money.

7288
04:10:17,419 --> 04:10:18,860
I'm wondering when we're

7289
04:10:18,860 --> 04:10:21,860
actually going to care about

7290
04:10:21,389 --> 04:10:22,230
the lives of these people and

7291
04:10:22,230 --> 04:10:22,757
not further abuse them by

7292
04:10:22,757 --> 04:10:25,694
saying that you guys are immune

7293
04:10:25,694 --> 04:10:26,294
when you guys have contracted

7294
04:10:26,294 --> 04:10:27,950
with these NGOs that are

7295
04:10:27,950 --> 04:10:30,950
supposed to be giving people

7296
04:10:34,502 --> 04:10:35,202
help and they're not.

7297
04:10:35,202 --> 04:10:35,903
Maybe you guys could put

7298
04:10:35,903 --> 04:10:36,638
yourself in that position and

7299
04:10:36,638 --> 04:10:39,774
and feel what it would be like

7300
04:10:39,774 --> 04:10:40,575
if that was you.

7301
04:10:40,575 --> 04:10:43,545
>> I don't think it's possible.

7302
04:10:43,545 --> 04:10:44,790
I started the five minute time

7303
04:10:44,790 --> 04:10:44,813
we're going to those

7304
04:10:44,813 --> 04:10:45,346
participating remotely starting

7305
04:10:45,346 --> 04:10:47,346
with Blair Beekman.

7306
04:10:47,782 --> 04:10:51,382
If you can please unmute my

7307
04:10:52,587 --> 04:10:55,587
prayer Big man Jerry speaking

7308
04:10:57,492 --> 04:10:58,126
today reminded me I was

7309
04:10:58,126 --> 04:10:58,793
speaking on these items to

7310
04:10:58,793 --> 04:11:01,193
the Housing Authority today

7311
04:11:01,896 --> 04:11:05,496
reminding me of the inner I'm

7312
04:11:06,535 --> 04:11:07,302
not sure what it can be like

7313
04:11:07,302 --> 04:11:11,502
but the city of San Jose when

7314
04:11:11,740 --> 04:11:12,407
they practice their government

7315
04:11:12,407 --> 04:11:14,407
sponsored encampment issues

7316
04:11:16,411 --> 04:11:17,179
they are using much smaller

7317
04:11:17,179 --> 04:11:20,779
land areas and doing like you

7318
04:11:20,982 --> 04:11:21,750
know 20 or 30 tents or 50 tents

7319
04:11:21,750 --> 04:11:25,353
in a little land area where you

7320
04:11:25,353 --> 04:11:26,210
guys you know, have these

7321
04:11:26,210 --> 04:11:29,210
massive huge things And I'm

7322
04:11:30,459 --> 04:11:31,159
wondering what wanting to you

7323
04:11:31,159 --> 04:11:34,159
know, having the massive huge

7324
04:11:35,230 --> 04:11:35,897
one is good but having a few

7325
04:11:35,897 --> 04:11:36,331
additional little ones, what

7326
04:11:36,331 --> 04:11:38,331
would that do?

7327
04:11:39,968 --> 04:11:40,736
Would that be helpful?

7328
04:11:40,736 --> 04:11:41,436
I know they complain sometimes

7329
04:11:41,436 --> 04:11:45,636
about the ones in San Jose and

7330
04:11:45,707 --> 04:11:46,408
I think they actually they MAY

7331
04:11:46,408 --> 04:11:50,800
want the larger ones system of

7332
04:11:50,612 --> 04:11:51,213
lands you know and it's so it's

7333
04:11:51,213 --> 04:11:54,213
tradeoffs but I just I'm

7334
04:11:54,916 --> 04:11:55,683
curious if that is a good

7335
04:11:55,683 --> 04:11:56,351
option at this point And so I

7336
04:11:56,351 --> 04:11:59,351
thought I'd just mention it

7337
04:12:00,455 --> 04:12:01,223
once again and to offer a bit

7338
04:12:01,223 --> 04:12:01,923
of a stretch that I think can

7339
04:12:01,923 --> 04:12:04,323
be applicable to housing

7340
04:12:05,226 --> 04:12:05,828
authority non agenda public

7341
04:12:05,828 --> 04:12:08,828
comment It was spoken at

7342
04:12:09,865 --> 04:12:10,565
the budget time about a certain

7343
04:12:10,565 --> 04:12:11,266
set of police issues that can

7344
04:12:11,266 --> 04:12:13,666
relate to neighborhood public

7345
04:12:19,241 --> 04:12:19,975
safety that there there

7346
04:12:19,975 --> 04:12:20,542
reducing the amount of civilian

7347
04:12:20,542 --> 04:12:22,942
police hiring and I'm

7348
04:12:24,613 --> 04:12:25,280
interested if that actually

7349
04:12:25,280 --> 04:12:27,680
correlates to making things

7350
04:12:29,284 --> 04:12:29,985
less safe and more expensive

7351
04:12:29,985 --> 04:12:33,585
Actually I don't know if it's

7352
04:12:34,489 --> 04:12:35,560
less or more expensive I, I

7353
04:12:35,560 --> 04:12:35,757
didn't hear the budget

7354
04:12:35,757 --> 04:12:38,961
reasoning on that but that was

7355
04:12:38,961 --> 04:12:39,862
simply stated that civil hiring

7356
04:12:39,862 --> 04:12:40,529
is not going to be happening in

7357
04:12:40,529 --> 04:12:43,529
a police department when it

7358
04:12:44,333 --> 04:12:45,267
tends to cost lower to do that.

7359
04:12:45,267 --> 04:12:49,338
And so I wanted to ask you and

7360
04:12:49,338 --> 04:12:50,380
just the overall projection of

7361
04:12:50,380 --> 04:12:50,773
what we're moving towards so I

7362
04:12:50,773 --> 04:12:51,206
wanted to ask yourselves what's

7363
04:12:51,206 --> 04:12:51,907
up with that?

7364
04:12:51,907 --> 04:12:53,542
>> Yeah, I'm telling you it's

7365
04:12:53,542 --> 04:12:56,542
concluded gambler If you can

7366
04:13:03,719 --> 04:13:04,453
please unmute you know well you

7367
04:13:04,453 --> 04:13:07,423
want to go ahead and disrespect

7368
04:13:07,423 --> 04:13:08,900
the people by flat out ignoring

7369
04:13:08,900 --> 04:13:08,757
their concerns comments and

7370
04:13:08,757 --> 04:13:11,157
basically telling the people

7371
04:13:13,620 --> 04:13:13,729
that we do not care about who

7372
04:13:13,729 --> 04:13:16,729
you elected into office for

7373
04:13:16,866 --> 04:13:17,500
the federal government that

7374
04:13:17,500 --> 04:13:18,234
oversees the federal money

7375
04:13:18,234 --> 04:13:21,834
being wasted all over the place

7376
04:13:22,872 --> 04:13:23,539
you say that we don't have to

7377
04:13:23,539 --> 04:13:25,939
go ahead and take

7378
04:13:27,810 --> 04:13:28,577
accountability for that and

7379
04:13:28,577 --> 04:13:32,810
then we can go ahead and bail

7380
04:13:32,810 --> 04:13:33,115
out as much money as we want.

7381
04:13:33,115 --> 04:13:33,916
We can go ahead and do it many

7382
04:13:33,916 --> 04:13:36,916
times That is with my

7383
04:13:37,319 --> 04:13:37,986
consultant as we want And if we

7384
04:13:37,986 --> 04:13:38,387
need to go ahead and cut

7385
04:13:38,387 --> 04:13:40,387
the budget.

7386
04:13:42,725 --> 04:13:43,392
Second, we don't need police

7387
04:13:43,392 --> 04:13:43,826
and firefighters such that's

7388
04:13:43,826 --> 04:13:44,393
not important.

7389
04:13:44,393 --> 04:13:45,610
They should go out and

7390
04:13:45,610 --> 04:13:46,395
the people could go out and

7391
04:13:46,395 --> 04:13:47,263
fend for themselves.

7392
04:13:47,263 --> 04:13:47,763
We just go ahead and say you

7393
04:13:47,763 --> 04:13:50,163
can own a gun.

7394
04:13:50,965 --> 04:13:51,634
All the good people want, go

7395
04:13:51,634 --> 04:13:52,340
ahead and be able to protect

7396
04:13:52,340 --> 04:13:52,668
themselves.

7397
04:13:52,668 --> 04:13:55,471
But sure the people that

7398
04:13:55,471 --> 04:13:56,172
should get it let it set your

7399
04:13:56,172 --> 04:13:59,172
rules and regulations I cannot

7400
04:14:02,111 --> 04:14:02,812
say that Now I have free game

7401
04:14:02,812 --> 04:14:05,815
and actually go out and steal

7402
04:14:05,815 --> 04:14:06,515
from whoever I want Last place

7403
04:14:06,515 --> 04:14:07,183
I think there's means less

7404
04:14:07,183 --> 04:14:09,752
chance of me getting busted.

7405
04:14:09,752 --> 04:14:10,453
I learn the criminal society

7406
04:14:10,453 --> 04:14:10,720
You are turning San Diego into

7407
04:14:10,720 --> 04:14:12,720
it.

7408
04:14:14,423 --> 04:14:15,123
I'm going to go ahead and

7409
04:14:15,123 --> 04:14:18,123
encourage people that you guys

7410
04:14:19,610 --> 04:14:19,929
are encouraging that I'm like

7411
04:14:19,929 --> 04:14:20,629
I'm not going to go ahead and

7412
04:14:20,629 --> 04:14:24,229
tell as many people as humanly

7413
04:14:24,333 --> 04:14:25,340
possible that organizations

7414
04:14:25,340 --> 04:14:25,401
that you're working with I'll

7415
04:14:25,401 --> 04:14:25,835
find out.

7416
04:14:25,835 --> 04:14:26,535
Call them out.

7417
04:14:26,535 --> 04:14:28,571
I'll go ahead and take a look

7418
04:14:28,571 --> 04:14:29,471
at who's collecting voter

7419
04:14:29,471 --> 04:14:31,871
registration cards, who is

7420
04:14:33,810 --> 04:14:34,343
harvesting ballots and who

7421
04:14:34,343 --> 04:14:35,770
they're working for.

7422
04:14:35,770 --> 04:14:38,677
You guys already know that they

7423
04:14:39,248 --> 04:14:39,881
work You guys work for them.

7424
04:14:39,881 --> 04:14:40,583
You don't work for us.

7425
04:14:40,583 --> 04:14:43,885
You don't work for the people.

7426
04:14:43,885 --> 04:14:44,487
You could care less what

7427
04:14:44,487 --> 04:14:45,254
the people have to say.

7428
04:14:45,254 --> 04:14:48,391
You don't have to show answers

7429
04:14:48,391 --> 04:14:48,891
because you work for them.

7430
04:14:48,891 --> 04:14:49,625
They're your boss.

7431
04:14:49,625 --> 04:14:49,959
They don't want you to get bad

7432
04:14:49,959 --> 04:14:50,626
answers.

7433
04:14:50,626 --> 04:14:52,629
You're not going to go ahead

7434
04:14:52,629 --> 04:14:53,429
and give that answer.

7435
04:14:53,429 --> 04:14:57,290
Is that really the legacy you

7436
04:14:57,734 --> 04:14:58,501
want to leave behind?

7437
04:14:58,501 --> 04:14:59,167
How far do you think you're

7438
04:14:59,167 --> 04:15:02,438
going to get away with this?

7439
04:15:02,438 --> 04:15:03,306
How long until they're sleeping

7440
04:15:03,306 --> 04:15:06,906
Giant wakes up and you feel

7441
04:15:07,376 --> 04:15:08,243
the reckoning?

7442
04:15:08,243 --> 04:15:08,845
>> It looks like it's coming.

7443
04:15:08,845 --> 04:15:09,612
Your time has concluded.

7444
04:15:09,612 --> 04:15:11,981
Hector and then Natalie were

7445
04:15:11,981 --> 04:15:12,849
asking It's getting kind of

7446
04:15:12,849 --> 04:15:16,319
hard to follow him and he's so

7447
04:15:16,319 --> 04:15:16,685
fired up at the housing

7448
04:15:16,685 --> 04:15:17,353
authority.

7449
04:15:17,353 --> 04:15:20,756
One thing with all these big

7450
04:15:20,756 --> 04:15:21,490
government run things we're

7451
04:15:21,490 --> 04:15:25,900
dealing with people that have a

7452
04:15:25,795 --> 04:15:26,529
lot of money and they always

7453
04:15:26,529 --> 04:15:27,196
kind of hide in the shadows

7454
04:15:27,196 --> 04:15:29,932
like BlackRock and the huge

7455
04:15:29,932 --> 04:15:30,633
companies they operate with

7456
04:15:30,633 --> 04:15:31,300
other companies and they might

7457
04:15:31,300 --> 04:15:34,900
not be doing it for profit

7458
04:15:34,904 --> 04:15:35,438
right away but they're doing it

7459
04:15:35,438 --> 04:15:37,838
to hide their money.

7460
04:15:39,800 --> 04:15:39,809
They got $300,000,400 million.

7461
04:15:39,809 --> 04:15:40,143
They can just make it out of

7462
04:15:40,143 --> 04:15:42,143
nothing.

7463
04:15:44,246 --> 04:15:44,947
They want to put that money

7464
04:15:44,947 --> 04:15:45,615
somewhere and they're looking

7465
04:15:45,615 --> 04:15:48,615
at Logan Heights gone Logan

7466
04:15:49,219 --> 04:15:49,819
Heights has got a view a got 20

7467
04:15:49,819 --> 04:15:52,219
stores in Logan Heights.

7468
04:15:53,220 --> 04:15:53,656
You're looking at the park,

7469
04:15:53,656 --> 04:15:54,257
you're looking at the ball

7470
04:15:54,257 --> 04:15:56,657
park, you're looking at

7471
04:15:58,940 --> 04:15:59,280
the ocean and it's a lot.

7472
04:15:59,280 --> 04:15:59,395
Logan Heights is worth a lot of

7473
04:15:59,395 --> 04:16:01,395
money man.

7474
04:16:03,365 --> 04:16:03,933
That's why Todd didn't wasn't

7475
04:16:03,933 --> 04:16:04,667
going for that thing.

7476
04:16:04,667 --> 04:16:04,934
He was going for them High rise

7477
04:16:04,934 --> 04:16:05,702
man.

7478
04:16:05,702 --> 04:16:07,603
That's what is that's what's

7479
04:16:07,603 --> 04:16:08,203
going on now.

7480
04:16:08,203 --> 04:16:08,971
Now they're kicking

7481
04:16:08,971 --> 04:16:11,908
the homeless guys out of East

7482
04:16:11,908 --> 04:16:12,742
Village.

7483
04:16:12,742 --> 04:16:13,510
That's like making a move To

7484
04:16:13,510 --> 04:16:17,580
try to get rid of them would be

7485
04:16:17,580 --> 04:16:18,281
a better world for all those

7486
04:16:18,281 --> 04:16:18,581
guys if there were no homeless

7487
04:16:18,581 --> 04:16:19,382
there.

7488
04:16:19,382 --> 04:16:21,952
We got to put them in Spring

7489
04:16:21,952 --> 04:16:22,319
Valley where are we going to

7490
04:16:22,319 --> 04:16:23,190
put them?

7491
04:16:23,190 --> 04:16:23,819
But that's what power move is.

7492
04:16:23,819 --> 04:16:26,322
You guys know that That's

7493
04:16:26,322 --> 04:16:27,156
what's happening in the shadows

7494
04:16:27,156 --> 04:16:31,356
and in this straight up so that

7495
04:16:31,427 --> 04:16:32,950
housing authority I think it

7496
04:16:32,950 --> 04:16:35,950
should be free at free

7497
04:16:36,660 --> 04:16:36,466
enterprise not subsidized with

7498
04:16:36,466 --> 04:16:38,466
everything.

7499
04:16:41,371 --> 04:16:42,720
It's like I'm still with

7500
04:16:42,720 --> 04:16:45,442
the Trump dude man Orange man.

7501
04:16:45,442 --> 04:16:46,309
We're just getting started.

7502
04:16:46,309 --> 04:16:49,909
It's Mark Levin Tax him too.

7503
04:16:50,914 --> 04:16:51,681
I forgot about Mark Levin.

7504
04:16:51,681 --> 04:16:52,448
I don't know how many search

7505
04:16:52,448 --> 04:16:55,448
those other guys on Google

7506
04:16:55,852 --> 04:16:56,553
search Jacob's got 60 million

7507
04:16:56,553 --> 04:17:00,153
plus he's you know big time

7508
04:17:01,258 --> 04:17:02,580
ready for taxing the rich and

7509
04:17:02,580 --> 04:17:02,926
we could put it to housing in

7510
04:17:02,926 --> 04:17:05,961
Barrio Logan That would be even

7511
04:17:05,961 --> 04:17:06,630
better man Open up some really

7512
04:17:06,630 --> 04:17:09,630
good places out of taxing

7513
04:17:10,499 --> 04:17:10,967
the rich That would be a good

7514
04:17:10,967 --> 04:17:11,567
agenda to adopt.

7515
04:17:11,567 --> 04:17:14,567
Okay, Talk to you later.

7516
04:17:15,806 --> 04:17:16,473

>> There you go.

7523
04:17:31,421 --> 04:17:33,891
Hi Natalie Rushdie I'm still

7524
04:17:33,891 --> 04:17:37,491
kind of confused on why hud

7525
04:17:38,328 --> 04:17:39,960
isn't being pressed when they

7526
04:17:39,960 --> 04:17:39,562
have created this problem for a

7527
04:17:39,562 --> 04:17:41,562
very long time.

7528
04:17:43,834 --> 04:17:44,134
I'm not getting any answers on

7529
04:17:44,134 --> 04:17:44,801
that.

7530
04:17:44,801 --> 04:17:45,369
I'm not getting any answers

7531
04:17:45,369 --> 04:17:47,369
from Padilla's office.

7532
04:17:48,538 --> 04:17:49,306
I gotten one answer from

7533
04:17:49,306 --> 04:17:52,306
Jacob's office and it doesn't

7534
04:17:53,544 --> 04:17:57,514
seem to be like the issue is

7535
04:17:57,514 --> 04:18:00,514
being pressed hard enough about

7536
04:18:02,619 --> 04:18:03,253
what is potentially going to

7537
04:18:03,253 --> 04:18:05,253
persist with homelessness.

7538
04:18:07,924 --> 04:18:08,228
I have an hiv and it's been

7539
04:18:08,228 --> 04:18:08,759
cut.

7540
04:18:08,759 --> 04:18:11,159
The time is ticking.

7541
04:18:17,101 --> 04:18:17,767
Their urgency for people

7542
04:18:17,767 --> 04:18:20,167
families to become homeless

7543
04:18:21,839 --> 04:18:22,172
doesn't seem to be an urgency

7544
04:18:22,172 --> 04:18:24,172
at all.

7545
04:18:26,776 --> 04:18:29,176
It's extremely frustrating when

7546
04:18:31,982 --> 04:18:34,982
I'm not receiving any answers.

7547
04:18:36,954 --> 04:18:39,954
It's frustrating to watch hud

7548
04:18:41,558 --> 04:18:42,326
continue to not be accountable

7549
04:18:42,326 --> 04:18:43,600
for all of these situations,

7550
04:18:43,600 --> 04:18:46,600
all these programs that they

7551
04:18:46,930 --> 04:18:47,431
start and then they stop them

7552
04:18:47,431 --> 04:18:49,831
and just go on.

7553
04:18:51,350 --> 04:18:51,735
Nobody's being held accountable

7554
04:18:51,735 --> 04:18:54,735
except for homeless people are

7555
04:18:55,939 --> 04:18:56,273
being held accountable or being

7556
04:18:56,273 --> 04:18:58,273
gaslit.

7557
04:19:00,677 --> 04:19:01,378
It's absolutely disgusting and

7558
04:19:01,378 --> 04:19:01,712
I don't have any answers from

7559
04:19:01,712 --> 04:19:03,712
anybody.

7560
04:19:05,315 --> 04:19:05,749
Why hud is not accountable.

7561
04:19:05,749 --> 04:19:06,150
>> Thank you.

7562
04:19:06,150 --> 04:19:08,150
Thank you.

7563
04:19:10,187 --> 04:19:10,821
If you had raised your hand if

7564
04:19:10,821 --> 04:19:11,321
the five minute timer had

7565
04:19:11,321 --> 04:19:11,889
already concluded.

7566
04:19:11,889 --> 04:19:14,289
So that does conclude

7567
04:19:15,925 --> 04:19:16,626
the public comment margin of

7568
04:19:16,626 --> 04:19:16,994
public comment for the housing

7569
04:19:16,994 --> 04:19:17,361

04:23:30,782 --> 04:23:31,583
I would like to say I'm in

7736
04:23:31,583 --> 04:23:34,583
favor of this which is

7737
04:23:34,685 --> 04:23:35,420
interesting because this is one

7738
04:23:35,420 --> 04:23:36,121
of the programs when I talk to

7739
04:23:36,121 --> 04:23:39,121
the homeless people that they

7740
04:23:39,424 --> 04:23:40,124
actually get help from that if

7741
04:23:40,124 --> 04:23:40,893
they're at Tent City and they

7742
04:23:40,893 --> 04:23:44,396
want to go find housing, they

7743
04:23:44,396 --> 04:23:45,630
actually go through nami And so

7744
04:23:45,630 --> 04:23:48,630
it's interesting to see that

7745
04:23:48,867 --> 04:23:49,567
some do work but it's sad to

7746
04:23:49,567 --> 04:23:52,567
know that these people weight

7747
04:23:53,338 --> 04:23:54,600
intensity which actually if

7748
04:23:54,600 --> 04:23:54,673
it's not a shelter would be

7749
04:23:54,673 --> 04:23:55,374
like the largest encampment

7750
04:23:55,374 --> 04:23:57,743
that the police should go get

7751
04:23:57,743 --> 04:23:58,776
rid of.

7752
04:23:58,776 --> 04:24:02,647
Um but it it's it's nice to

7753
04:24:02,647 --> 04:24:03,348
know that, you know, people go

7754
04:24:03,348 --> 04:24:06,948
and navigate on their own They

7755
04:24:07,118 --> 04:24:07,586
can find housing they can get

7756
04:24:07,586 --> 04:24:08,287
off the streets.

7757
04:24:08,287 --> 04:24:11,287
They're just wondering like do

7758
04:24:11,556 --> 04:24:12,291
you guys ever go talk to

7759
04:24:12,291 --> 04:24:15,291
the homeless people like really

7760
04:24:16,462 --> 04:24:17,362
like sit down with them and

7761
04:24:17,362 --> 04:24:21,562
have like a heart to heart or

7762
04:24:24,360 --> 04:24:24,536
is that like off limits cricket

7763
04:24:24,536 --> 04:24:26,536
It's interesting.

7764
04:24:29,441 --> 04:24:29,742
I love to course correct in

7765
04:24:29,742 --> 04:24:30,409
life.

7766
04:24:30,409 --> 04:24:31,176
You know, I find it really

7767
04:24:31,176 --> 04:24:33,746
interesting because I like to

7768
04:24:33,746 --> 04:24:34,680
better myself.

7769
04:24:34,680 --> 04:24:35,347
I like to go what am I doing

7770
04:24:35,347 --> 04:24:38,917
that I could do better at?

7771
04:24:38,917 --> 04:24:39,651
And it's interesting to come

7772
04:24:39,651 --> 04:24:40,286
before people and just see them

7773
04:24:40,286 --> 04:24:43,121
like Oh I'm good as it is.

7774
04:24:43,121 --> 04:24:43,989
There's no need to be better.

7775
04:24:43,989 --> 04:24:46,525
We love what we're doing

7776
04:24:46,525 --> 04:24:48,525
Homelessness, suffering and

7777
04:24:52,197 --> 04:24:52,798
we're we're just going to

7778
04:24:52,798 --> 04:24:53,165
pretend like that's not

7779
04:24:53,165 --> 04:24:55,165
happening.

7780
04:24:57,690 --> 04:24:57,703
I mean seriously like they

7781
04:24:57,703 --> 04:24:58,170
shouldn't be dying on your

7782
04:24:58,170 --> 04:25:00,170
steps out here.

7783
04:25:01,640 --> 04:25:02,107
Like that's really sad.

7784
04:25:02,107 --> 04:25:02,775
It really is.

7785
04:25:02,775 --> 04:25:05,775
It's a reflection of like

7786
04:25:06,479 --> 04:25:07,179
what's going on and it's sad to

7787
04:25:07,179 --> 04:25:10,779
go and like talk to these

7788
04:25:10,950 --> 04:25:11,616
people and like get down on

7789
04:25:11,616 --> 04:25:12,317
the ground with them if you

7790
04:25:12,317 --> 04:25:15,721
have to and give them a hug.

7791
04:25:15,721 --> 04:25:16,488
There are brothers and sisters

7792
04:25:16,488 --> 04:25:17,123
and not just like discard them

7793
04:25:17,123 --> 04:25:20,123
because they MAY not smell

7794
04:25:20,492 --> 04:25:21,360
right or who knows.

7795
04:25:21,360 --> 04:25:22,600
Back to have some food I'm

7796
04:25:22,600 --> 04:25:25,600
probably going to give someone

7797
04:25:25,931 --> 04:25:26,232
outside these steps after we're

7798
04:25:26,232 --> 04:25:26,999
done.

7799
04:25:26,999 --> 04:25:30,599
Wish you guys would, you know,

7800
04:25:30,970 --> 04:25:31,837
feel compassion for these

7801
04:25:31,837 --> 04:25:32,371
people As far as a five minute

7802
04:25:32,371 --> 04:25:32,971
timer going to those

7803
04:25:32,971 --> 04:25:34,971
participating online, we

7804
04:25:35,775 --> 04:25:36,475
currently have four speakers in

7805
04:25:36,475 --> 04:25:39,778
the queue Gambler If you can

7806
04:25:39,778 --> 04:25:40,645
please unmute You know it's

7807
04:25:40,645 --> 04:25:44,845
crazy how you go ahead and set

7808
04:25:45,351 --> 04:25:46,520
up these community I mean how

7809
04:25:46,520 --> 04:25:46,752
this person right here talking

7810
04:25:46,752 --> 04:25:49,752
look for different ways to

7811
04:25:49,955 --> 04:25:50,523
create grants to go ahead and

7812
04:25:50,523 --> 04:25:50,923
steal from the federal

7813
04:25:50,923 --> 04:25:51,590
government.

7814
04:25:51,590 --> 04:25:55,127
You go ahead and do this but

7815
04:25:55,127 --> 04:25:55,494
yet you never monitor to these

7816
04:25:55,494 --> 04:25:56,127
programs.

7817
04:25:56,127 --> 04:25:59,231
Yes, some of them do work.

7818
04:25:59,231 --> 04:25:59,564
You don't talk to the homeless

7819
04:25:59,564 --> 04:26:00,299
people.

7820
04:26:00,299 --> 04:26:00,633
Matter of fact, they talk to

7821
04:26:00,633 --> 04:26:02,633
Audra.

7822
04:26:04,300 --> 04:26:07,300
I have one person constantly

7823
04:26:08,741 --> 04:26:09,442
calling me saying what they

7824
04:26:09,442 --> 04:26:10,760
could do to get into housing.

7825
04:26:10,760 --> 04:26:12,760
They've talked to

7826
04:26:13,212 --> 04:26:13,980
the organization but she does

7827
04:26:13,980 --> 04:26:16,980
not fulfill of their their

7828
04:26:17,483 --> 04:26:18,350
political belief.

7829
04:26:18,350 --> 04:26:21,921
>> They don't want to help her.

7830
04:26:21,921 --> 04:26:22,722
I mean that flat out what it it

7831
04:26:22,722 --> 04:26:26,225
comes down to two years then

7832
04:26:26,225 --> 04:26:26,893
she's been asking going over

7833
04:26:26,893 --> 04:26:27,626
doing that I'm trying to

7834
04:26:27,626 --> 04:26:31,364
convince her to go to the board

7835
04:26:31,364 --> 04:26:32,265
meetings or call in and leave

7836
04:26:32,265 --> 04:26:33,320
to go ahead and tell tell you

7837
04:26:33,320 --> 04:26:36,320
guys directly how your pieces

7838
04:26:36,436 --> 04:26:37,136
of how you don't even want to

7839
04:26:37,136 --> 04:26:40,136
go ahead and listen to

7840
04:26:41,730 --> 04:26:41,807
the people when they're also

7841
04:26:41,807 --> 04:26:45,407
asking you for the data instead

7842
04:26:46,278 --> 04:26:46,979
of asking you constantly saying

7843
04:26:46,979 --> 04:26:50,483
Look we don't have to provide

7844
04:26:50,483 --> 04:26:50,816
you data, we just need your

7845
04:26:50,816 --> 04:26:51,584
money.

7846
04:26:51,584 --> 04:26:52,251
Matter of fact we are not

7847
04:26:52,251 --> 04:26:55,251
getting the federal money so

7848
04:26:55,755 --> 04:26:56,550
we're going to go ahead and add

7849
04:26:56,550 --> 04:26:56,656
taxes.

7850
04:26:56,656 --> 04:26:57,323
We're going to add more

7851
04:26:57,323 --> 04:27:00,323
expensive to you your trash.

7852
04:27:00,926 --> 04:27:01,526
We're going to go ahead and

7853
04:27:01,526 --> 04:27:02,662
double tax you on that.

7854
04:27:02,662 --> 04:27:04,931
What else can we go out and do

7855
04:27:04,931 --> 04:27:05,698
parking for Chad?

7856
04:27:05,698 --> 04:27:06,320
Any parking needs to have paid

7857
04:27:06,320 --> 04:27:08,320
meters.

7858
04:27:09,402 --> 04:27:09,736
Now you don't get any free stay

7859
04:27:09,736 --> 04:27:10,436
in here.

7860
04:27:10,436 --> 04:27:11,700
So basically what you're going

7861
04:27:11,700 --> 04:27:14,700
to do is wipe out

7862
04:27:14,106 --> 04:27:14,841
the businesses But that works

7863
04:27:14,841 --> 04:27:15,508
out perfect for you because you

7864
04:27:15,508 --> 04:27:18,508
could go ahead and redevelop

7865
04:27:19,178 --> 04:27:19,684
those areas and increase

7866
04:27:19,684 --> 04:27:19,979
the property tax.

7867
04:27:19,979 --> 04:27:20,580
Right?

7868
04:27:20,580 --> 04:27:21,246
I mean that's why you're

7869
04:27:21,246 --> 04:27:21,547
pushing people out of their

7870
04:27:21,547 --> 04:27:23,547
house.

7871
04:27:23,716 --> 04:27:24,384
That's why when the flood took

7872
04:27:24,384 --> 04:27:26,784
place you blamed 11 property

7873
04:27:28,921 --> 04:27:29,622
owner for the flood, not

7874
04:27:29,622 --> 04:27:33,760
the fact that you did zero to

7875
04:27:33,760 --> 04:27:34,227
go ahead and come fix our

7876
04:27:34,227 --> 04:27:34,694
infrastructure.

7877
04:27:34,694 --> 04:27:36,694
You did nothing.

7878
04:27:38,998 --> 04:27:39,699
You blamed people and you sued

7879
04:27:39,699 --> 04:27:43,299
them using our money to push

7880
04:27:44,237 --> 04:27:44,904
the blame off of you and put it

7881
04:27:44,904 --> 04:27:45,604
on to the citizens You don't

7882
04:27:45,604 --> 04:27:48,604
take sorry your time has

7883
04:27:49,842 --> 04:27:50,510
concluded.

7884
04:27:50,510 --> 04:27:50,943
Natalie Raskin If you can

7885
04:27:50,943 --> 04:27:52,943
please unmute.

7886
04:27:53,179 --> 04:27:53,780
Hi Natalie Rush When we do

7887
04:27:53,780 --> 04:27:54,480
these contracts we have

7888
04:27:54,480 --> 04:27:56,880
information at our fingertips

7889
04:27:58,518 --> 04:27:59,218
at this point and when we do

7890
04:27:59,218 --> 04:28:02,218
these contracts I spoke about

7891
04:28:02,789 --> 04:28:05,789
this the other day and

7892
04:28:07,260 --> 04:28:08,128
companies like Con Am that have

7893
04:28:08,128 --> 04:28:11,728
are directly in a lawsuit right

7894
04:28:12,165 --> 04:28:12,966
now.

7895
04:28:12,966 --> 04:28:15,966
They have raised the rent

7896
04:28:17,504 --> 04:28:20,504
prices on the algorithm causing

7897
04:28:22,208 --> 04:28:22,909
funds to be depleted faster.

7898
04:28:22,909 --> 04:28:25,909
I hope we're double checking

7899
04:28:26,446 --> 04:28:27,246
who we choose to do business

7900
04:28:27,246 --> 04:28:27,947
with So they create the problem

7901
04:28:27,947 --> 04:28:31,547
and they have the solution And

7902
04:28:31,785 --> 04:28:32,918
who loses?

7903
04:28:32,918 --> 04:28:37,118
I have been given an option to

7904
04:28:37,190 --> 04:28:37,824
move into a an apartment to

7905
04:28:37,824 --> 04:28:41,424
have an f with the Better

7906
04:28:42,128 --> 04:28:42,529
Business Bureau So it's I'm in

7907
04:28:42,529 --> 04:28:44,529
a catch 22.

7908
04:28:46,298 --> 04:28:47,670
I'm pushed in a corner.

7909
04:28:47,670 --> 04:28:50,667
We have people that have had

7910
04:28:50,837 --> 04:28:53,837
situations happen to them like

7911
04:28:55,741 --> 04:28:56,710
covid that have messed up their

7912
04:28:56,710 --> 04:28:59,710
living situation But now it's

7913
04:29:00,130 --> 04:29:00,580
like one thing after another

7914
04:29:00,580 --> 04:29:02,980
and still the federal

7915
04:29:04,484 --> 04:29:04,884
government is not being held

7916
04:29:04,884 --> 04:29:06,884
accountable.

7917
04:29:08,855 --> 04:29:09,756
When do we start Fact checking

7918
04:29:09,756 --> 04:29:13,356
that checking and doing our due

7919
04:29:13,993 --> 04:29:14,394
diligence?

7920
04:29:14,394 --> 04:29:14,795
Thank you.

7921
04:29:14,795 --> 04:29:15,262
Thank you.

7922
04:29:15,262 --> 04:29:17,262
Next is Hector.

7923
04:29:18,265 --> 04:29:21,265
If you can please unmute.

7924
04:29:23,536 --> 04:29:24,404
Thanks for taking my call.

7925
04:29:24,404 --> 04:29:27,908
This nami group I think should

7926
04:29:27,908 --> 04:29:28,775
double their pay.

7927
04:29:28,775 --> 04:29:29,476
These guys have been there from

7928
04:29:29,476 --> 04:29:33,760
the get go with mental illness

7929
04:29:33,246 --> 04:29:33,846
and when schizophrenia just

7930
04:29:33,846 --> 04:29:34,380
happened to young people

7931
04:29:34,380 --> 04:29:36,380
without doing drugs.

7932
04:29:37,817 --> 04:29:38,518
Now a lot of times with

7933
04:29:38,518 --> 04:29:40,918
schizophrenia it's not really

7934
04:29:42,488 --> 04:29:43,190
true schizophrenia.

7935
04:29:43,190 --> 04:29:45,590
It's organic brain disease.

7936
04:29:46,360 --> 04:29:49,960
If you're like 17 and ucsd and

7937
04:29:51,640 --> 04:29:51,665
you get through schizophrenia

7938
04:29:51,665 --> 04:29:52,432
you haven't done drugs.

7939
04:29:52,432 --> 04:29:56,320
It's just something in your in

7940
04:29:56,769 --> 04:29:57,471
your in your mind your brain

7941
04:29:57,471 --> 04:29:58,138

from Mexico and China.

7951
04:30:16,590 --> 04:30:19,826
China has been trying to kill

7952
04:30:19,826 --> 04:30:20,694

7953
04:30:20,694 --> 04:30:24,294

They're billionaires man.

7957
04:30:30,137 --> 04:30:32,537
The billionaire Mexicans that

7958
04:30:33,974 --> 04:30:34,675

You know they are and there's

illness on our streets And a

7973
04:31:02,737 --> 04:31:03,370

right.

7987
04:31:31,298 --> 04:31:31,665
>> Blaire Beekman, thanks for

7988
04:31:31,665 --> 04:31:32,400
this item.

7989
04:31:32,400 --> 04:31:36,236
Thank you for the work of nami.

7990
04:31:36,236 --> 04:31:36,536
There they are one of the good

7991
04:31:36,536 --> 04:31:38,536
ones.

7992
04:31:39,740 --> 04:31:44,540
They do a lot of good work and

7993
04:31:44,645 --> 04:31:45,413
I wanted to comment that I'm

7994
04:31:45,413 --> 04:31:48,413
concerned with the most recent

7995
04:31:49,951 --> 04:31:50,618
unhoused issues or kind of

7996
04:31:50,618 --> 04:31:54,218
entered the next wave of our

7997
04:31:54,221 --> 04:31:54,922
unhoused issues and good luck

7998
04:31:54,922 --> 04:31:55,223
what you can be doing with

7999
04:31:55,223 --> 04:31:57,223
that.

8000
04:31:59,626 --> 04:32:00,427
i I'm not fully clear what all

8001
04:32:00,427 --> 04:32:04,270
of that work that you've been

8002
04:32:04,198 --> 04:32:04,866
doing downtown what that is

8003
04:32:04,866 --> 04:32:07,266
exactly accomplishing and I

8004
04:32:08,870 --> 04:32:09,169
would love to be more clear on

8005
04:32:09,169 --> 04:32:09,536
that.

8006
04:32:09,536 --> 04:32:11,536
Thank you.

8007
04:32:13,908 --> 04:32:14,241
I would love to be more clear

8008
04:32:14,241 --> 04:32:14,909
on that.

8009
04:32:14,909 --> 04:32:17,309
Cities like Oakland, they're

8010
04:32:18,779 --> 04:32:19,800
now creating policies like San

8011
04:32:19,800 --> 04:32:19,947
Diego.

8012
04:32:19,947 --> 04:32:23,718
I know San Jose wanted to but

8013
04:32:23,718 --> 04:32:24,385
they couldn't The city would

8014
04:32:24,385 --> 04:32:26,785
the community wouldn't allow

8015
04:32:28,589 --> 04:32:29,456
them And I have real concerns

8016
04:32:29,456 --> 04:32:33,127
about that And we have a set of

8017
04:32:33,127 --> 04:32:34,280
practices here that are unique

8018
04:32:34,280 --> 04:32:34,729
to San Diego that when they try

8019
04:32:34,729 --> 04:32:38,329
to be emulated in other cities

8020
04:32:38,666 --> 04:32:39,100
there's nothing like they just

8021
04:32:39,100 --> 04:32:39,766
look anything.

8022
04:32:39,766 --> 04:32:42,870
They just simply look like I

8023
04:32:42,870 --> 04:32:43,605
don't know a police state and

8024
04:32:43,605 --> 04:32:46,605
you're answering questions of a

8025
04:32:46,974 --> 04:32:47,708
police state and you're

8026
04:32:47,708 --> 04:32:48,376
answering questions of a police

8027
04:32:48,376 --> 04:32:51,976
state And I'm worried and I

8028
04:32:52,130 --> 04:32:52,814
want to know what our next

8029
04:32:52,814 --> 04:32:56,551
steps out of a police state is.

8030
04:32:56,551 --> 04:32:57,352
What is the steps of returning

8031
04:32:57,352 --> 04:33:00,352
to community housing And you

8032
04:33:01,489 --> 04:33:02,127
know, government housing people

8033
04:33:02,127 --> 04:33:04,127
asking questions, working

8034
04:33:06,794 --> 04:33:07,462
the system, you know, and

8035
04:33:07,462 --> 04:33:08,229
helping people out that way.

8036
04:33:08,229 --> 04:33:11,365
And I hope I can continue to

8037
04:33:11,365 --> 04:33:12,133
see more of that And I hear

8038
04:33:12,133 --> 04:33:12,834
that language more and I know

8039
04:33:12,834 --> 04:33:16,434
it's there And I'm not trying

8040
04:33:16,905 --> 04:33:17,638
to be overly strong but good

8041
04:33:17,638 --> 04:33:18,405
luck how we can talk about this

8042
04:33:18,405 --> 04:33:21,910
in terms of our city government

8043
04:33:21,910 --> 04:33:22,344
and community and not police

8044
04:33:22,344 --> 04:33:22,777
and community.

8045
04:33:22,777 --> 04:33:23,178
>> Thank you.

8046
04:33:23,178 --> 04:33:25,178
Thank John.

8047
04:33:25,746 --> 04:33:27,746
Your final speaker.

8048
04:33:35,590 --> 04:33:36,240
Please unmute Academy before

8049
04:33:36,240 --> 04:33:36,757
you.

8050
04:33:36,757 --> 04:33:39,757
>> Thank you John Brady here

8051
04:33:40,462 --> 04:33:41,162
with lived experience advisors

8052
04:33:41,162 --> 04:33:44,162
really want to compliment nami

8053
04:33:44,733 --> 04:33:45,400
and the team here I know that a

8054
04:33:45,400 --> 04:33:47,800
tremendous amount of effort

8055
04:33:49,203 --> 04:33:49,904
goes into understanding each

8056
04:33:49,904 --> 04:33:52,304
individual or individual group

8057
04:33:54,142 --> 04:33:54,776
or family that is on our

8058
04:33:54,776 --> 04:33:55,510
streets to understand what

8059
04:33:55,510 --> 04:33:58,846
their needs are and to use

8060
04:33:58,846 --> 04:33:59,547
these funds effectively to

8061
04:33:59,547 --> 04:34:02,547
identify the best longer term

8062
04:34:04,319 --> 04:34:05,190
solution for housing.

8063
04:34:05,190 --> 04:34:05,720
You know, the reality is many

8064
04:34:05,720 --> 04:34:09,890
of these programs are going to

8065
04:34:09,890 --> 04:34:09,791
end in a couple of years.

8066
04:34:09,791 --> 04:34:10,458
But this these programs

8067
04:34:10,458 --> 04:34:12,458
particularly the encampment

8068
04:34:13,895 --> 04:34:14,863
clearing programs are funded

8069
04:34:14,863 --> 04:34:18,733
for up to two years to really

8070
04:34:18,733 --> 04:34:19,434
identify the needs and get

8071
04:34:19,434 --> 04:34:21,834
people stabilized in housing.

8072
04:34:23,471 --> 04:34:24,171
>> My concern goes with this is

8073
04:34:24,171 --> 04:34:24,806
what encampment clearing looks

8074
04:34:24,806 --> 04:34:27,806
like when it's done right.

8075
04:34:28,409 --> 04:34:29,110
We're not just pushing people

8076
04:34:29,110 --> 04:34:29,644
around a city where we are

8077
04:34:29,644 --> 04:34:31,644
actually identifying

8078
04:34:33,681 --> 04:34:34,349
individuals, clarifying what

8079
04:34:34,349 --> 04:34:35,160
their needs are and getting

8080
04:34:35,160 --> 04:34:37,986
them the resources that they

8081
04:34:37,986 --> 04:34:38,420
need to recover from

8082
04:34:38,420 --> 04:34:39,354
homelessness.

8083
04:34:39,354 --> 04:34:42,857
>> You know, we spent a lot of

8084
04:34:42,857 --> 04:34:43,491
money playing Whac-a-Mole in

8085
04:34:43,491 --> 04:34:44,126
this city because this is

8086
04:34:44,126 --> 04:34:47,126
the kind of funding that's

8087
04:34:47,528 --> 04:34:48,230
necessary to solve the problem

8088
04:34:48,230 --> 04:34:48,796
that we don't have from

8089
04:34:48,796 --> 04:34:49,197
the state and federal

8090
04:34:49,197 --> 04:34:49,797
government.

8091
04:34:49,797 --> 04:34:52,797
So thank you very much.

8092
04:34:53,301 --> 04:34:53,669

8093
04:34:53,669 --> 04:34:54,350
the team.

8094
04:34:54,350 --> 04:34:54,736
Thank you.

8095
04:34:54,736 --> 04:34:57,136
That completes public comment

8096
04:34:57,706 --> 04:34:58,272
on this item.

8097
04:34:58,272 --> 04:34:58,874
>> All right.

8098
04:34:58,874 --> 04:34:59,541
Thank you, City clerk.

8099
04:34:59,541 --> 04:35:00,175
We'll turn it over to

8100
04:35:00,175 --> 04:35:02,575
the council for questions.

8101
04:35:03,450 --> 04:35:03,778
Comments Entertain motions and

8102
04:35:03,778 --> 04:35:04,146
we'll start with council member

8103
04:35:04,146 --> 04:35:04,513
Whitburn.

8104
04:35:04,513 --> 04:35:05,246
Thank you.

8105
04:35:05,246 --> 04:35:07,382
Council PRESIDENT Thank you for

04:35:07,382 --> 04:35:08,216
the presentation.

8107
04:35:08,216 --> 04:35:08,885
It is really been great to see

8108
04:35:08,885 --> 04:35:11,885

04:36:31,533 --> 04:36:32,200
goes into this.

8163
04:36:32,200 --> 04:36:34,236
I appreciate the work that's

8164
04:36:34,236 --> 04:36:36,236
been done here.

8165
04:36:40,376 --> 04:36:43,976
The deep and kind of methodical

8166
04:36:44,479 --> 04:36:45,800
work that that this involves

8167
04:36:45,800 --> 04:36:45,780
the persistence that it

8168
04:36:45,780 --> 04:36:48,780
involves I think is really

8169
04:36:49,751 --> 04:36:50,519
important And I know it's not

8170
04:36:50,519 --> 04:36:54,119
easy but from what we've seen

8171
04:36:55,157 --> 04:36:55,925
it also has more of a lasting

8172
04:36:55,925 --> 04:36:59,610
effect than other other ways of

8173
04:36:59,610 --> 04:36:59,595
addressing addressing

8174
04:36:59,595 --> 04:37:00,296

8177
04:37:04,966 --> 04:37:05,667
the difference.

8178
04:37:05,667 --> 04:37:08,667
That doesn't mean that effort

8179
04:37:09,538 --> 04:37:10,239
is not continuously required

8180
04:37:10,239 --> 04:37:13,839
there but I do appreciate that

8181
04:37:15,511 --> 04:37:15,978

8182
04:37:15,978 --> 04:37:16,712
it's being done.

04:41:36,600 --> 04:41:36,673
the pedestrian access from

8299
04:41:36,673 --> 04:41:37,307
the north via Garnet Avenue

8300
04:41:37,307 --> 04:41:39,707
will remain As previously

8301
04:41:41,440 --> 04:41:41,645
mentioned, the project area

8302
04:41:41,645 --> 04:41:43,645
contains existing sewer

8303
04:41:46,616 --> 04:41:47,317
facilities within the dedicated

8304
04:41:47,317 --> 04:41:48,180
right away portions and will

8305
04:41:48,180 --> 04:41:48,618
remain in place and protected

8306
04:41:48,618 --> 04:41:50,618
via memorialize easement

8307
04:41:51,622 --> 04:41:52,255
reservation thus further

8308
04:41:52,255 --> 04:41:52,856
ensuring the active sewer

8309
04:41:52,856 --> 04:41:55,256
facilities can be access

8310
04:41:56,226 --> 04:41:58,626
maintain and continue to

8311
04:42:01,965 --> 04:42:02,666
operate without disruption.

8312
04:42:02,666 --> 04:42:03,400
And here is the graphic of

8313
04:42:03,400 --> 04:42:06,936
the proposed site plans and you

8314
04:42:06,936 --> 04:42:10,536

8315
04:42:12,876 --> 04:42:16,476
portion to be vacated on MARCH

04:42:21,986 --> 04:42:22,686
recommend approval of

8320
04:42:22,686 --> 04:42:25,860
the proposed project without

8321
04:42:28,225 --> 04:42:29,920
conditions.

8322
04:42:29,920 --> 04:42:29,660
>> Staff hereby recommends that

8323
04:42:29,660 --> 04:42:30,360
the City Council adopt

8324
04:42:30,360 --> 04:42:33,360
the following actions in this

8325
04:42:33,430 --> 04:42:34,164
report.

8326
04:42:34,164 --> 04:42:34,831
This concludes my presentation

8327
04:42:34,831 --> 04:42:37,831
City staff and the applicant

8328
04:42:39,370 --> 04:42:39,803
team are available to answer

8329
04:42:39,803 --> 04:42:40,170
any questions.

8330
04:42:40,170 --> 04:42:40,538
Thank you.

8331
04:42:40,538 --> 04:42:41,238
All right.

8332
04:42:41,238 --> 04:42:41,739
Thank you for the work and for

8333
04:42:41,739 --> 04:42:43,739
the presentation.

8334
04:42:44,141 --> 04:42:45,420
I understand the applicant is

8335
04:42:45,420 --> 04:42:45,509
here but does not wish to make

8336
04:42:45,509 --> 04:42:47,509
a presentation.

8337
04:42:49,880 --> 04:42:53,480
All right so with that please

8338
04:42:55,152 --> 04:42:57,552
proceed with public comment.

8339
04:43:01,559 --> 04:43:02,259
We will begin with in-person

8340
04:43:02,259 --> 04:43:02,793
public comment allegedly order

8341
04:43:02,793 --> 04:43:04,793
Please come forward.

8342
04:43:06,230 --> 04:43:09,230
You'll have two minutes to

8343
04:43:11,802 --> 04:43:12,537
speak.

8344
04:43:12,537 --> 04:43:15,537
You know, it's interesting when

8345
04:43:18,476 --> 04:43:19,210
we take up land and hold it and

8346
04:43:19,210 --> 04:43:19,876
then we don't complete projects

8347
04:43:19,876 --> 04:43:20,477
I'm not really sure what was

8348
04:43:20,477 --> 04:43:23,180
supposed to be there but

8349
04:43:23,180 --> 04:43:23,914
the fact that it wasn't

8350
04:43:23,914 --> 04:43:26,914
developed and it's been like 16

8351
04:43:28,486 --> 04:43:29,860
years this like tends to happen

8352
04:43:29,860 --> 04:43:32,860
quite a bit with private

8353
04:43:34,358 --> 04:43:35,226
property owners and easements

8354
04:43:35,226 --> 04:43:36,260
and you know, needing to take

8355
04:43:36,260 --> 04:43:36,793
it for some public use And then

8356
04:43:36,793 --> 04:43:39,793
it's like it holds this

8357
04:43:40,965 --> 04:43:41,665
property in limbo for however

8358
04:43:41,665 --> 04:43:41,999
long until it's decided not to

8359
04:43:41,999 --> 04:43:43,999
be used.

8360
04:43:46,570 --> 04:43:47,305
So it's just interesting

8361
04:43:47,305 --> 04:43:47,905
the things we do in government.

8362
04:43:47,905 --> 04:43:50,905
Do you guys enjoy it?

8363
04:43:54,212 --> 04:43:56,814
I mean as you so I grew up

8364
04:43:56,814 --> 04:43:59,814
there the one having billions

8365
04:44:02,320 --> 04:44:02,630
of dollars at your disposal,

8366
04:44:02,630 --> 04:44:03,154
right?

8367
04:44:03,154 --> 04:44:03,854
I mean imagine being

8368
04:44:03,854 --> 04:44:06,854
the PRESIDENT Or the governor

8369
04:44:07,892 --> 04:44:08,226
and you have trillions of

8370
04:44:08,226 --> 04:44:10,226
dollars.

8371
04:44:13,464 --> 04:44:14,331
That is so exciting.

8372
04:44:14,331 --> 04:44:15,199
I mean think about how many

8373
04:44:15,199 --> 04:44:18,799
kickbacks you can get in that

8374
04:44:19,700 --> 04:44:19,837
arena.

8375
04:44:19,837 --> 04:44:20,538
You know what I'm saying With

8376
04:44:20,538 --> 04:44:23,538
the billionaires that we need

8377
04:44:24,709 --> 04:44:25,476
to go after like Trump right?

8378
04:44:25,476 --> 04:44:26,244
Start going after Black Rock.

8379
04:44:26,244 --> 04:44:30,281
When are we going to do that?

8380
04:44:30,281 --> 04:44:30,914
Can we start doing that that in

8381
04:44:30,914 --> 04:44:33,914
the script at some point?

8382
04:44:40,858 --> 04:44:41,626
Or is it just Trump or I'm just

8383
04:44:41,626 --> 04:44:44,626
wondering why are we selective

8384
04:44:47,398 --> 04:44:48,320
with the billionaires We should

8385
04:44:48,320 --> 04:44:48,833
be really going after it.

8386
04:44:48,833 --> 04:44:49,533
Do you want I mean let's go

8387
04:44:49,533 --> 04:44:52,336
after all the people that are

8388
04:44:52,336 --> 04:44:52,736
screwing us right?

8389
04:44:52,736 --> 04:44:53,204
No.

8390
04:44:53,204 --> 04:44:55,204
Oh my gosh.

8391
04:44:58,543 --> 04:44:59,209
Has you're like you're no fun.

8392
04:44:59,209 --> 04:45:02,209
You know what I mean?

8393
04:45:03,615 --> 04:45:04,481
We pay you to engage.

8394
04:45:04,481 --> 04:45:08,810
Do we not know just to

8395
04:45:10,321 --> 04:45:11,540
criminalize if it's good?

8396
04:45:11,540 --> 04:45:11,723
>> I've been having the police

8397
04:45:11,723 --> 04:45:12,390
escort me out so I can get a

8398
04:45:12,390 --> 04:45:15,726
real good run for my money.

8399
04:45:15,726 --> 04:45:16,394
So I'll let you guys buy.

8400
04:45:16,394 --> 04:45:19,394
Thank you for your comment.

8401
04:45:21,933 --> 04:45:22,400
That concludes the in-person

8402
04:45:22,400 --> 04:45:23,133
public comment.

8403
04:45:23,133 --> 04:45:23,601
We will now move to the virtual

8404
04:45:23,601 --> 04:45:25,601
public comment.

8405
04:45:28,390 --> 04:45:28,740
I've started the five minute

8406
04:45:28,740 --> 04:45:29,441
timer in council chambers and

8407
04:45:29,441 --> 04:45:30,410
we'll now turn to the virtual

8408
04:45:30,410 --> 04:45:33,410
queue in which there are

8409
04:45:33,144 --> 04:45:35,144
currently two participants

8410
04:45:39,840 --> 04:45:41,484
requesting to speak Wherever

8411
04:45:46,791 --> 04:45:47,125
you please proceed by way of

8412
04:45:47,125 --> 04:45:49,125
Bitcoin.

8413
04:45:51,262 --> 04:45:51,763
I realized that I'm in San

8414
04:45:51,763 --> 04:45:52,530
Diego Conservancy.

8415
04:45:52,530 --> 04:45:56,130
I'm hearing their names more as

8416
04:45:57,335 --> 04:45:58,350
in in council chambers and how

8417
04:45:58,350 --> 04:45:58,869
to talk about homeless issues.

8418
04:45:58,869 --> 04:46:02,469
Thank you for that at least

8419
04:46:03,410 --> 04:46:03,675
that and it's been good to hear

8420
04:46:03,675 --> 04:46:06,750
that and there's something

8421
04:46:07,778 --> 04:46:08,546
positive in what's happening So

8422
04:46:08,546 --> 04:46:09,247
thank you for that With this

8423
04:46:09,247 --> 04:46:09,681
item I wish I could better

8424
04:46:09,681 --> 04:46:11,681
relate to it.

8425
04:46:14,850 --> 04:46:17,685
You had you know you're coming

8426
04:46:19,925 --> 04:46:20,692
up with sb 79 you know to do

8427
04:46:20,692 --> 04:46:21,392
and work on those issues and

8428
04:46:21,392 --> 04:46:21,926
you're trying to navigate that

8429
04:46:21,926 --> 04:46:24,926
as well as you can.

8430
04:46:25,664 --> 04:46:26,364
It's my understanding that

8431
04:46:26,364 --> 04:46:28,764
the Claremont area and

8432
04:46:32,104 --> 04:46:32,804
the College area two big

8433
04:46:32,804 --> 04:46:35,204
housing developments coming up

8434
04:46:37,342 --> 04:46:38,800
with transit concerns MAY have

8435
04:46:38,800 --> 04:46:38,511
different choices in how to

8436
04:46:38,511 --> 04:46:40,511
proceed with them.

8437
04:46:43,614 --> 04:46:44,282
I don't know if that's accurate

8438
04:46:44,282 --> 04:46:45,830
or not but that's why I'm

8439
04:46:45,830 --> 04:46:48,830
understanding it and I guess

8440
04:46:48,286 --> 04:46:49,187
that's navigating around seven

8441
04:46:49,187 --> 04:46:53,387
sb 79 and I don't know if it's

8442
04:46:53,691 --> 04:46:54,559
legal to say that or not.

8443
04:46:54,559 --> 04:46:55,260
I don't know if I'm being in

8444
04:46:55,260 --> 04:46:55,928
good taste in saying that So I

8445
04:46:55,928 --> 04:46:59,528
just thought I'd ask it and

8446
04:47:00,980 --> 04:47:00,766
that I am thinking of these

8447
04:47:00,766 --> 04:47:01,466
things and how to talk about

8448
04:47:01,466 --> 04:47:02,334
them better in the future And

8449
04:47:02,334 --> 04:47:02,834
good luck on how you work on

8450
04:47:02,834 --> 04:47:05,234
this item as well.

8451
04:47:08,740 --> 04:47:10,740
Thank you.

8452
04:47:21,119 --> 04:47:21,720
Gambler Please proceed.

8453
04:47:21,720 --> 04:47:22,187
You have to unmute.

8454
04:47:22,187 --> 04:47:22,854
There we go.

8455
04:47:22,854 --> 04:47:25,854
How are you guys doing?

8456
04:47:27,192 --> 04:47:27,960
So let's go ahead.

8457
04:47:27,960 --> 04:47:28,694
Do you realize that all your

8458
04:47:28,694 --> 04:47:29,194
actions everything you approved

8459
04:47:29,194 --> 04:47:31,194
of public record?

8460
04:47:33,198 --> 04:47:33,931
Do you realize that the reason

8461
04:47:33,931 --> 04:47:34,700
why I was able to figure out

8462
04:47:34,700 --> 04:47:38,900
why we have no money and why

8463
04:47:40,639 --> 04:47:41,306
you do the thing is because I

8464
04:47:41,306 --> 04:47:41,873
just looked at the last word

8465
04:47:41,873 --> 04:47:42,474
Mountain View person.

8466
04:47:42,474 --> 04:47:45,430
Did you do you recognize

8467
04:47:45,430 --> 04:47:45,778
the fact that I looked up why

8468
04:47:45,778 --> 04:47:49,378
we made the nbi aura regulation

8469
04:47:51,583 --> 04:47:52,351
Then what The narrative was

8470
04:47:52,351 --> 04:47:53,180
when that was happening and why

8471
04:47:53,180 --> 04:47:53,786
we have happened and why we

8472
04:47:53,786 --> 04:47:56,786
went ahead and allowed these

8473
04:47:58,590 --> 04:47:59,525
people.

8474
04:47:59,525 --> 04:48:00,125
>> Yeah no I know the argument

8475
04:48:00,125 --> 04:48:00,826
but in each one of these

8476
04:48:00,826 --> 04:48:01,126
arguments sound good on faith

8477
04:48:01,126 --> 04:48:03,126
right?

8478
04:48:03,662 --> 04:48:04,266
But when you layer them all

8479
04:48:04,266 --> 04:48:04,596
together you see the big

8480
04:48:04,596 --> 04:48:06,596
picture.

8481
04:48:08,801 --> 04:48:09,534
It's stripping us of our and

8482
04:48:09,534 --> 04:48:10,134
giving it to corporations

8483
04:48:10,134 --> 04:48:10,769
because you do not have

8484
04:48:10,769 --> 04:48:13,769
the money to fix our

8485
04:48:16,142 --> 04:48:16,875
infrastructure and because you

8486
04:48:16,875 --> 04:48:17,710
been playing games don't forget

8487
04:48:17,710 --> 04:48:21,480
long You have no idea what your

8488
04:48:21,480 --> 04:48:22,800
responsibility are except to

8489
04:48:22,800 --> 04:48:24,480
protect the status quo.

8490
04:48:27,920 --> 04:48:28,320
That's why you don't listen to

8491
04:48:28,320 --> 04:48:28,987
the people.

8492
04:48:28,987 --> 04:48:29,622
That's why you get the card.

8493
04:48:29,622 --> 04:48:32,220
Anything that the federal

8494
04:48:33,659 --> 04:48:34,526
government you demonized them.

8495
04:48:34,526 --> 04:48:35,261
I mean how do you go ahead and

8496
04:48:35,261 --> 04:48:35,694
say people are trying to kill

8497
04:48:35,694 --> 04:48:37,694
trans people?

8498
04:48:39,980 --> 04:48:39,665
I've not seen one record of

8499
04:48:39,665 --> 04:48:40,366
that really happening.

8500
04:48:40,366 --> 04:48:43,969
i mean people go out and shoot

8501
04:48:43,969 --> 04:48:44,303
out and kill thousands of

8502
04:48:44,303 --> 04:48:44,969
people.

8503
04:48:44,969 --> 04:48:45,671
The only reason why they're

8504
04:48:45,671 --> 04:48:49,271
doing that is because you tell

8505
04:48:50,342 --> 04:48:51,100
them that we're trying to kill

8506
04:48:51,100 --> 04:48:54,100
them which is factually not

8507
04:48:55,547 --> 04:48:56,349
true But you are creating

8508
04:48:56,349 --> 04:48:56,990
division so that you could go

8509
04:48:56,990 --> 04:48:57,615
ahead and get this magical

8510
04:48:57,615 --> 04:48:57,950
money to go in and solve a

8511
04:48:57,950 --> 04:48:59,950
problem.

8512
04:49:01,987 --> 04:49:02,722
You guys helped create.

8513
04:49:02,722 --> 04:49:06,322
Do you recognize that there is

8514
04:49:07,159 --> 04:49:07,926
records of every single action

8515
04:49:07,926 --> 04:49:08,461
that you've taken, every single

8516
04:49:08,461 --> 04:49:10,861
person that you did?

8517
04:49:13,650 --> 04:49:13,732
That's a great thing about

8518
04:49:13,732 --> 04:49:14,532
being a public employee.

8519
04:49:14,532 --> 04:49:18,132
You have to document that out

8520
04:49:19,805 --> 04:49:20,539
of this And because that I know

8521
04:49:20,539 --> 04:49:23,539
the organizations that are tied

8522
04:49:26,812 --> 04:49:27,413
to basically stripping us and

8523
04:49:27,413 --> 04:49:27,746
creating a monopoly it's

8524
04:49:27,746 --> 04:49:28,447
insane.

8525
04:49:28,447 --> 04:49:31,447
>> Thank you for that comment.

8526
04:49:31,817 --> 04:49:32,451
That does conclude your time.

8527
04:49:32,451 --> 04:49:33,190
>> That concludes public

8528
04:49:33,190 --> 04:49:35,190
testimony on item 333.

8529
04:49:37,723 --> 04:49:38,291
All right.

8530
04:49:38,291 --> 04:49:38,691
Thank you for that.

8531
04:49:38,691 --> 04:49:38,991
Well done.

8532
04:49:38,991 --> 04:49:39,992
Okay.

8533
04:49:39,992 --> 04:49:44,192
We will now turn it over to

8534
04:49:44,363 --> 04:49:45,970
the council for questions,

8535
04:49:45,970 --> 04:49:45,765
comments and entertain a motion

8536
04:49:45,765 --> 04:49:46,231
and we'll start with council

8537
04:49:46,231 --> 04:49:48,231
member Campbell.

8538
04:49:49,368 --> 04:49:50,236
>> Thank you very much.

8539
04:49:50,236 --> 04:49:50,836
This is a piece of land upon

8540
04:49:50,836 --> 04:49:53,236
which the Balboa Transit

8541
04:49:55,274 --> 04:49:55,974
station is located for the blue

8542
04:49:55,974 --> 04:49:59,574
line for the trolleys and it's

8543
04:50:01,346 --> 04:50:01,947
been a wonderful success.

8544
04:50:01,947 --> 04:50:02,681
It includes parking for

8545
04:50:02,681 --> 04:50:06,881
the public so they can park and

8546
04:50:08,530 --> 04:50:08,654
ride and it is a piece of land

8547
04:50:08,654 --> 04:50:11,654
that is right next to

8548
04:50:13,920 --> 04:50:13,793
the railroad tracks and in

8549
04:50:13,793 --> 04:50:14,160
between the tracks and Marina

8550
04:50:14,160 --> 04:50:16,160
Boulevard.

8551
04:50:18,597 --> 04:50:19,398
So it's a triangular shaped

8552
04:50:19,398 --> 04:50:20,166
piece of land and this worked

8553
04:50:20,166 --> 04:50:23,766
out to be an excellent place

8554
04:50:25,271 --> 04:50:26,390
for that trolley to be built.

8555
04:50:26,390 --> 04:50:26,806
It was already owned by sandag

8556
04:50:26,806 --> 04:50:30,342
and I was told by the previous

8557
04:50:30,342 --> 04:50:31,100
director of sandag that

8558
04:50:31,100 --> 04:50:31,711
the reason it was chosen for

8559
04:50:31,711 --> 04:50:32,144
the blue line is because there

8560
04:50:32,144 --> 04:50:34,144
was no hassle.

8561
04:50:36,950 --> 04:50:37,650
They already had the land and

8562
04:50:37,650 --> 04:50:38,417
they did indeed have have this

8563
04:50:38,417 --> 04:50:41,417
portion of land worked out

8564
04:50:42,855 --> 04:50:43,623
beautifully.

8565
04:50:43,623 --> 04:50:44,423
The thing that's so interesting

8566
04:50:44,423 --> 04:50:48,623
to me living near it there's no

8567
04:50:49,229 --> 04:50:49,996
sound from it.

8568
04:50:49,996 --> 04:50:50,696
It doesn't make any noise for

8569
04:50:50,696 --> 04:50:54,296
the neighbors who live in Bay

8570
04:50:54,366 --> 04:50:54,701
Park which is really quite nice

8571
04:50:54,701 --> 04:50:55,534
.

8572
04:50:55,534 --> 04:50:56,236
So at any rate this is an

8573
04:50:56,236 --> 04:50:59,236
excellent idea to give this

8574
04:51:01,708 --> 04:51:02,408
land to the previous owner

8575
04:51:02,408 --> 04:51:03,176
which was in that same they

8576
04:51:03,176 --> 04:51:06,679
will now have it again and they

8577
04:51:06,679 --> 04:51:07,280
will take responsibility for

8578
04:51:07,280 --> 04:51:07,980
upkeep of the roads and

8579
04:51:07,980 --> 04:51:10,980
sidewalks within that area And

8580
04:51:13,720 --> 04:51:14,421
we are very appreciative of

8581
04:51:14,421 --> 04:51:14,821
that and we're glad to have

8582
04:51:14,821 --> 04:51:15,488
the station.

8583
04:51:15,488 --> 04:51:19,590
I want to thank you for it.

8584
04:51:19,590 --> 04:51:19,526
So I move that we accept this

8585
04:51:19,526 --> 04:51:19,959
staff's report.

8586
04:51:19,959 --> 04:51:20,360
Thank you.

8587
04:51:20,360 --> 04:51:21,127
All right.

8588
04:51:21,127 --> 04:51:21,594
We have a motion by council

8589
04:51:21,594 --> 04:51:23,594
member Campbell.

8590
04:51:26,320 --> 04:51:26,732
