00:21:03,248 PRESIDENT I was not here for 232 00:21:03,248 --> 00:21:05,248 the last hearing. 233 00:21:07,385 --> 00:21:08,860 I do understand this is a 234 00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:08,887 second reading but if I can 235 00:21:08,887 --> 00:21:11,887 have some clarification as to 236 00:21:12,658 --> 00:21:16,258 why that change was done based 237 00:21:17,195 --> 00:21:17,829 on what I reviewed of 238 00:21:17,829 --> 00:21:20,829 the hearing it seemed like 239 00:21:21,934 --> 00:21:22,601 there was sound legal, a sound 240 00:21:22,601 --> 00:21:23,168 legal determination between 241 00:21:23,168 --> 00:21:25,568 planning and the city 242 00:21:26,638 --> 00:21:27,206 attorney's office in regards to 243 00:21:27,206 --> 00:21:27,773 the language that they 244 00:21:27,773 --> 00:21:29,773 originally developed. 245 00:21:31,242 --> 00:21:31,910 So can you explain to me what 246 00:21:31,910 --> 00:21:34,880 impact this actually has or 247 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,547 what was it How this 248 00:21:35,547 --> 00:21:37,947 determination came about and 249 00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:42,485 why we landed here? 250 00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:45,524 And this is and also I'm asking 251 00:21:45,524 --> 00:21:46,910 because if I recall 252 00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:48,491 the original draft of 253 00:21:50,628 --> 00:21:54,228 the ordinance I believe as you 254 00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:56,900 highlighted or indicated what 255 00:21:59,338 --> 00:22:00,500 the bus stops were there was 256 00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:03,500 also the next line indicated 257 00:22:04,910 --> 00:22:05,644 that whatever sandag way 258 00:22:05,644 --> 00:22:09,244 the state bill is written, it's 259 00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:10,115 my understanding that sandag is 260 00:22:10,115 --> 00:22:10,749 the agency that will determine 261 00:22:10,749 --> 00:22:11,416 what those routes are and 262 00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:14,219 certain things And I thought 263 00:22:14,219 --> 00:22:14,887 there was another line that 264 00:22:14,887 --> 00:22:15,554 said the maps weren't done. 265 00:22:15,554 --> 00:22:18,554 As soon as sandag completes 266 00:22:19,257 --> 00:22:19,992 their maps and their routes 267 00:22:19,992 --> 00:22:20,658 then we would incorporate their 268 00:22:20,658 --> 00:22:23,658 determination At the end of 269 00:22:23,696 --> 00:22:24,430 the day. 270 00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:25,130 So can you explain to me 271 00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,130 overall what took place, how 272 00:22:28,834 --> 00:22:29,568 we're here? 273 00:22:29,568 --> 00:22:30,269 I will probably leave it to 274 00:22:30,269 --> 00:22:32,669 your council colleagues to 275 00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:34,739 explain, you know, 276 00:22:34,739 --> 00:22:35,441 the viewpoints and the debate 277 00:22:35,441 --> 00:22:38,441 that occurred at the council. 278 00:22:38,844 --> 00:22:39,544 However, what I will say is 279 00:22:39,544 --> 00:22:42,544 that the amendments that were 280 00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:44,817 made at council staff is 281 00:22:44,817 --> 00:22:45,517 supportive of because they have 282 00:22:45,517 --> 00:22:47,917 little effect moving forward. 283 00:22:48,721 --> 00:22:49,454 Staff had always planned to 284 00:22:49,454 --> 00:22:50,890 defer to the sandag map is that 285 00:22:50,890 --> 00:22:52,489 is what is specifically 286 00:22:53,325 --> 00:22:56,325 required by the state statute. 287 00:22:58,597 --> 00:22:59,297 >> Okay so that last so that 288 00:22:59,297 --> 00:23:02,897 last point that you made that 289 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:03,769 the law does state that at 290 00:23:03,769 --> 00:23:07,540 the end of the day sandag does 291 00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:08,407 have that authority and that is 292 00:23:08,407 --> 00:23:12,607 how we would proceed as we are 293 00:23:13,112 --> 00:23:13,813 developing said plan, correct? 294 00:23:13,813 --> 00:23:14,747 Yes, that that is correct. 295 00:23:14,747 --> 00:23:17,883 We as the professional staff do 296 00:23:17,883 --> 00:23:18,551 community and coordinate with 297 00:23:18,551 --> 00:23:21,551 other agency staff and have 298 00:23:22,154 --> 00:23:22,754 been coordinating closely 299 00:23:22,754 --> 00:23:23,422 throughout this process. 300 00:23:23,422 --> 00:23:26,422 The maps that were presented 301 00:23:27,193 --> 00:23:27,893 was what our understanding was 302 00:23:27,893 --> 00:23:28,561 of the interpretation of 303 00:23:28,561 --> 00:23:29,195 the statute consistent with 304 00:23:29,195 --> 00:23:32,310 other agencies that we had 305 00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:32,865 coordinated with. 306 00:23:32,865 --> 00:23:33,566 But again Sendek has not yet 307 00:23:33,566 --> 00:23:36,402 released that map so I still 308 00:23:36,402 --> 00:23:37,103 cannot tell you with 100% 309 00:23:37,103 --> 00:23:37,403 certainty what that will look 310 00:23:37,403 --> 00:23:38,170 like. 311 00:23:38,170 --> 00:23:41,874 But what I can tell you is 312 00:23:41,874 --> 00:23:42,542 whatever it looks like is what 313 00:23:42,542 --> 00:23:42,842 city staff will incorporate. 314 00:23:42,842 --> 00:23:43,208 Okay. 315 00:23:43,208 --> 00:23:45,208 Thank you. 316 00:23:47,713 --> 00:23:48,414 And if I recall I'll turn to my 317 00:23:48,414 --> 00:23:49,480 colleague Councilmember Campo. 318 00:23:49,480 -->

--> 00:29:44,803 to 19 local jurisdictions of 536 00:29:46,741 --> 00:29:47,441 which the city of San Diego is 537 00:29:47,441 --> 00:29:48,109 one of them and receives a 538 00:29:48,109 --> 00:29:50,109 proportionate allocation of 539 00:29:51,445 --> 00:29:51,779 roughly 41% of the total 540 00:29:51,779 --> 00:29:52,413 funding. 541 00:29:52,413 --> 00:29:54,813 The Transnet Ordinance

00:30:14,801 be programed into Aatip as a 552 00:30:14,801 --> 00:30:16,801 requirement to receive 553 00:30:18,606 --> 00:30:19,373 the funding and unlike the city 554 00:30:19,373 --> 00:30:23,644 of San Diego, the aatip is on a 555 00:30:23,644 --> 00:30:24,512 two year budget cycle and in 556 00:30:24,512 --> 00:30:27,348 fiscal year 2027 we are moving 557 00:30:27,348 --> 00:30:27,648 from the 2025 to the 2027 558 00:30:27,648 --> 00:30:29,648 aatip. 559 00:30:32,553 --> 00:30:33,287 >> This table shows an overview 560 00:30:33,287 --> 00:30:36,287 of the city's estimated revenue 561 00:30:37,124 --> 00:30:37,792 projections as well as our 562 00:30:37,792 --> 00:30:38,493 actuals and expenditures for 563 00:30:38,493 --> 00:30:41,493 fiscal year 2026 and to last 564 00:30:42,196 --> 00:30:44,596 for years of actuals. 565 00:30:45,933 --> 00:30:46,734 We started the fiscal year with 566 00:30:46,734 --> 00:30:47,435 a $40 million fund or cash 567 00:30:47,435 --> 00:30:50,435 balance that was at sandag 568 00:30:50,905 --> 00:30:51,606 which means these are budgeted 569 00:30:51,606 --> 00:30:52,206 Transnet funds but we haven't 570 00:30:52,206 --> 00:30:55,206 spent them down yet and 571 00:30:56,770 --> 00:30:56,777 Transnet funds get reimbursed 572 00:30:56,777 --> 00:30:57,645 to the city of San Diego at 573 00:30:57,645 --> 00:31:00,682 the same pace as we spent them 574 00:31:00,682 --> 00:31:01,348 And the Transportation 575 00:31:01,348 --> 00:31:02,500 Department in collaboration 576 00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,500 with the Department of Finance 577 00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:05,819 Process Monthly reimbursement 578 00:31:05,819 --> 00:31:08,819 requests equal to our actuals. 579 00:31:09,957 --> 00:31:10,625 We're projecting to have a 580 00:31:10,625 --> 00:31:13,625 disbursements by the end of 581 00:31:14,729 --> 00:31:15,497 this fiscal year in an amount 582 00:31:15,497 --> 00:31:18,497 of $49 million that would bring 583 00:31:20,301 --> 00:31:23,301 down our fund balance to 31.1 584 00:31:23,437 --> 00:31:24,138 million anticipating 48.1 585 00:31:24,138 --> 00:31:26,538 million of additional revenues 586 00:31:28,543 --> 00:31:29,244 this fiscal year That would be 587 00:31:29,244 --> 00:31:32,244 a decrease of 2% compared to 588 00:31:32,647 --> 00:31:33,548 the beginning fund balance This 589 00:31:33,548 --> 00:31:34,248 fiscal year And our goal is to 590 00:31:34,248 --> 00:31:36,648 continuously decrease our fund 591 00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:38,619 balance at sandag and through 592 00:31:38,619 --> 00:31:41,190 proper fund management and 593 00:31:43,224 --> 00:31:43,925 prioritization of the Transnet 594 00:31:43,925 --> 00:31:46,325 fund expenditures and decrease 595 00:31:47,796 --> 00:31:48,763 that fund balance even more. 596 00:31:48,763 --> 00:31:52,901 In this chart we can see how 597 00:31:52,901 --> 00:31:53,535 effectively our 19 local 598 00:31:53,535 --> 00:31:55,935 jurisdictions in San Diego 599 00:31:57,572 --> 00:31:57,873 spend their Transnet allocation 600 00:31:57,873 --> 00:31:58,739 . 601 00:31:58,739 --> 00:32:01,739 >> The graph shows that in 602 00:32:02,944 --> 00:32:03,645 comparison shows the annual 603 00:32:03,645 --> 00:32:06,450 Transnet revenue in comparison 604 00:32:07,549 --> 00:32:08,350 to the cash balance that 605 00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:11,350 the local jurisdictions hold a 606 00:32:11,752 --> 00:32:14,752 value of 100% would equal a 607 00:32:16,291 --> 00:32:16,892 cash balance of equal to the at 608 00:32:16,892 --> 00:32:19,292 the current fiscal years 609 00:32:20,762 --> 00:32:21,463 revenue And as you can see 610 00:32:21,463 --> 00:32:24,766 the city of San Diego has 611 00:32:24,766 --> 00:32:25,634 the third lowest cash balance 612 00:32:25,634 --> 00:32:28,470 with a 101% compared to their 613 00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:30,470 fiscal year 26 revenue. 614 00:32:33,675 --> 00:32:34,376 And this and charge we can see 615 00:32:34,376 --> 00:32:35,760 the five year Transnet revenue 616 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,760 forecast that gets updated by 617 00:32:38,980 --> 00:32:43,180 sandag once a year and it is 618 00:32:43,618 --> 00:32:44,286 categorized by the required 619 00:32:44,286 --> 00:32:44,920 split between administration 620 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,920 maintenance and congestion 621 00:32:48,223 --> 00:32:48,856 relief and funding is allocated 622 00:32:48,856 --> 00:32:49,191 via the budget development 623 00:32:49,191 --> 00:32:49,925 process. 624 00:32:49,925 --> 00:32:53,525 At the beginning of each fiscal 625 00:32:53,895 --> 00:32:54,529 year but it is important to 626 00:32:54,529 --> 00:32:55,197 note that sandag receives 627 00:32:55,197 --> 00:32:58,197 actual revenue on a monthly 628 00:32:58,967 --> 00:32:59,667 basis and some years budget 629 00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:02,670 adjustments might be required 630 00:33:02,971 --> 00:33:07,420 at the end of the fiscal year 631 00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:07,642 for fiscal year 2027 632 00:33:07,642 --> 00:33:10,420 the Transnet revenue is 633 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,581 estimated to be $49.1 million 634 00:33:12,581 --> 00:33:13,315 followed in the required split 635 00:33:13,315 --> 00:33:15,315 between maintenance, congestion 636 00:33:16,851 --> 00:33:17,185 relief and administered

--> 00:36:04,787 come forward. 723 00:36:04,787 --> 00:36:05,254 You'll have two minutes. 724 00:36:05,254 --> 00:36:07,254 Please proceed. 725 00:36:09,258 --> 00:36:10,260 I should add very much of that. 726 00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:10,826 The other thing that caught my 727 00:36:10,826 --> 00:36:13,196 eye is there was an emphasis on 728 00:36:13,196 --> 00:36:13,796 the statement that the cash 729 00:36:13,796 --> 00:36:14,497 balance was ratio being 730 00:36:14,497 --> 00:36:16,897 particularly low relative to 731 00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:19,402 the rest of the county. 732 00:36:19,402 --> 00:36:22,402 I would be interested if 733 00:36:22,705 --> 00:36:23,506 somebody in the council is to 734 00:36:23,506 --> 00:36:24,139 and what the significance of 735 00:36:24,139 --> 00:36:27,139 that ratio is and whether 736 00:36:27,610 --> 00:36:28,310 there's actually any policy 737 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:31,910 levers that need to be changed 738 00:36:32,548 --> 00:36:33,249 in order to change that. 739 00:36:33,249 --> 00:36:33,916 The typical understanding is 740 00:36:33,916 --> 00:36:36,916 you get money from transit 741 00:36:37,786 --> 00:36:38,621 transit and then you spend it. 742 00:36:38,621 --> 00:36:39,550 So it seems like just sort of a 743 00:36:39,550 --> 00:36:39,689 pass through. 744 00:36:39,689 --> 00:36:42,125 But if there is something 745 00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:42,825 that's of interest there I'd be 746 00:36:42,825 --> 00:36:43,226 interested to know as well as 747 00:36:43,226 --> 00:36:45,226 the public. 748 00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:48,970 Thank you.

00:43:36,272 our typically historically 960 00:43:37,609 --> 00:43:38,800 under under resource 961 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,430 communities. 962 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:42,747 I also would like to say

00:43:57,793 doing a great job at 970 00:43:59,531 --> 00:44:00,165 identifying those really poor 971 00:44:00,165 --> 00:44:00,832 conditions and getting our 972 00:44:00,832 --> 00:44:01,566 minimum pay folks out there. 973 00:44:01,566 --> 00:44:04,202 So I also want to say thank you 974 00:44:04,202 --> 00:44:05,700 for that as I often tend to be 975 00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,670 very critical of of our efforts 976 00:44:10,241 --> 00:44:10,875 and how we are investing in our 977 00:44:10,875 --> 00:44:12,875 under-resourced community. 978 00:44:15,213 --> 00:44:15,880 So I just wanted to say that 979 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:16,781 what we're getting with our 980 00:44:16,781 --> 00:44:20,381 millennial team I love to see 981 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:21,686 the numbers numbers moving in 982 00:44:21,686 --> 00:44:22,487 the right direction Again I 983 00:44:22,487 --> 00:44:26,687 will say I am all for us 984 00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:27,325 bringing as much as we can in 985 00:44:27,325 --> 00:44:28,590 house. 986 00:44:28,590 --> 00:44:32,290 I know we have our issues and 987 00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:32,897 challenges out of the yard and 988 00:44:32,897 --> 00:44:33,698 so forth that we still need to 989 00:44:33,698 --> 00:44:37,168 get our arms around But I am a 990 00:44:37,168 --> 00:44:37,969 full supporter of looking at 991 00:44:37,969 --> 00:44:38,703 how we can continue to grow our 992 00:44:38,703 --> 00:44:41,103 in-house paving program because 993 00:44:43,275 --> 00:44:43,975 I still feel we will be more 994 00:44:43,975 --> 00:44:44,843 competitive than outsourcing. 995 00:44:44,843 --> 00:44:48,913 So I do I do want to thank you 996 00:44:48,913 --> 00:44:49,647 for that. 997 00:44:49,647 --> 00:44:50,215 The one thing that does trouble 998 00:44:50,215 --> 00:44:50,615 me is the term bicycle 999 00:44:50,615 --> 00:44:52,615 facilities. 1000 00:44:54,219 --> 00:44:55,860 i mean I brought this up in our 1001 00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:59,286 our briefings but can you as we 1002 00:45:00,292 --> 00:45:01,590 are in the financial scenario 1003 00:45:01,590 --> 00:45:01,693 that we are in I know we've 1004 00:45:01,693 --> 00:45:04,693 made some changes with our 1005 00:45:05,163 --> 00:45:06,310 mobility department so far. 1006 00:45:06,310 --> 00:45:06,564 So I think we are kind of 1007 00:45:06,564 --> 00:45:07,267 winding things down. 1008 00:45:07,267 --> 00:45:10,867 But you can you explain what's 1009 00:45:11,690 --> 00:45:11,736 in this actually in this line 1010 00:45:11,736 --> 00:45:12,370 item for bicycle facilities 1011 00:45:12,370 --> 00:45:13,710 Because I think there's an 1012 00:45:13,710 --> 00:45:15,710 immediate interpretation that 1013 00:45:16,844 --> 00:45:17,542 this is the bike lanes and 1014 00:45:17,542 --> 00:45:18,210 we're continuing to invest in 1015 00:45:18,210 --> 00:45:21,210 just bike lanes which is 1016 00:45:22,914 --> 00:45:23,648 driving, you know, a lot of 1017 00:45:23,648 --> 00:45:24,160 contentious conversations in my 1018 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:24,716 community. 1019 00:45:24,716 --> 00:45:28,387 So if you can shed some light 1020 00:45:28,387 --> 00:45:29,870 as to what that term is, what's 1021 00:45:29,870 --> 00:45:29,521 included in what that actually 1022 00:45:29,521 --> 00:45:30,221 accounts for. 1023 00:45:30,221 --> 00:45:30,789 Of course first of all,

1063 00:46:31,150 --> 00:46:31,850 different philosophy Let money 1064 00:46:31,850 --> 00:46:35,450 sit in buckets that we were 1065 00:46:36,388 --> 00:46:37,122 receiving and not spending. 1066 00:46:37,122 --> 00:46:37,823 You know at the end of the day 1067 00:46:37,823 --> 00:46:38,524 what the public wants us to do 1068 00:46:38,524 --> 00:46:41,160 if we have the funds let's go 1069 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:41,960 out and get the work done and 1070 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,627 so I'm I've been around long 1071 00:46:42,627 --> 00:46:43,529 enough at City Hall to know 1072 00:46:43,529 --> 00:46:47,399 that that pivot I think is an 1073 00:46:47,399 --> 00:46:48,167 extraordinary measure. 1074 00:46:48,167 --> 00:46:48,700 We have the money let's put 1075 00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:49,435 the money to work as 1076 00:46:49,435 --> 00:46:51,835 efficiently and thoughtfully as 1077 00:46:53,606 --> 00:46:54,373 possible given the balance 1078 00:46:54,373 --> 00:46:56,773 between congestion relief and 1079 00:46:59,277 --> 00:46:59,912 maintenance to be a little 1080 00:46:59,912 --> 00:47:02,312 protective of our smaller 1081 00:47:04,783 --> 00:47:05,484 cities, projects cost a lot of 1082 00:47:05,484 --> 00:47:06,185 money and the allocation that 1083 00:47:06,185 --> 00:47:09,655 the smaller cities get is not 1084 00:47:09,655 --> 00:47:10,388 enough in one year to actually 1085 00:47:10,388 --> 00:47:11,123 do those bigger projects And so 1086 00:47:11,123 --> 00:47:11,824 they have to save up year after 1087 00:47:11,824 --> 00:47:14,960 year after year to get enough 1088 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,494 money to actually build 1089 00:47:15,494 --> 00:47:15,995 the bigger projects. 1090 00:47:15,995 --> 00:47:16,728 So it is somewhat 1091 00:47:16,728 --> 00:47:19,128 understandable why their ratios 1092 00:47:20,799 --> 00:47:21,400 are much different than ours. 1093 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,167 We're a big city. 1094 00:47:22,167 --> 00:47:25,767 We have plenty of projects that 1095 00:47:26,138 --> 00:47:26,671 we can tackle in our cip so 1096 00:47:26,671 --> 00:47:27,272 that's exactly what 1097 00:47:27,272 --> 00:47:29,272 transportation is doing. 1098 00:47:32,477 --> 00:47:33,179 So I very much appreciate 1099 00:47:33,179 --> 00:47:34,800 putting that money to work and 1100 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,280 i know our residents do as well 1101 00:47:38,417 --> 00:47:39,118 So with that we have a motion 1102 00:47:39,118 --> 00:47:39,718 by Councilmember Whipper and a 1103 00:47:39,718 --> 00:47:40,519 second by myself to move 1104 00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:40,853 the staff recommendation 1105 00:47:40,853 --> 00:47:42,853 forward. 1106 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:48,927 Please call the roll I'm sorry 1107 00:47:48,927 --> 00:47:52,527 the voters and please cast your 1108 00:47:54,133 --> 00:47:54,867 vote And that passes 1109 00:47:54,867 --> 00:47:55,500 unanimously 6 to 0 with Council 1110 00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:57,900 member Eli Rivera Council 1111 00:47:59,400 --> 00:47:59,672 member on the opening Council 1112 00:47:59,672 --> 00:48:00,306 member Campbell Absent Thank 1113

this very 1117 00:48:05,711 --> 00:48:08,111 short docket this morning. 1118 00:48:10,349 --> 00:48:10,983 We will now adjourn Council to 1119 00:48:10,983 --> 00:48:11,686 the special closed session
