crisis.

168
00:09:17,389 --> 00:09:20,570
To put it simply, we can do

169
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:20,659
better and young people are

170
00:09:20,659 --> 00:09:21,393
well aware of this.

171
00:09:21,393 --> 00:09:22,600
I want to first acknowledge

172
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,962
the work that's been done by

173
00:09:24,962 --> 00:09:25,631
the Council to restore many of

174
00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:26,331
the deeply troubling cuts to

175
00:09:26,331 --> 00:09:28,731
arts education resources being

176
00:09:30,502 --> 00:09:31,203
housed and investment and our

177
00:09:31,203 --> 00:09:31,703
future to the Office of Child

178
00:09:31,703 --> 00:09:33,703

179
00:09:34,606 --> 00:09:35,307
I along with my fellow students

180
00:09:35,307 --> 00:09:36,700
are cognizant of the positive

181
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:39,700
impacts your effort will have

182
00:09:39,311 --> 00:09:39,678
on our great city and our

183
00:09:39,678 --> 00:09:40,378
community.

184
00:09:40,378 --> 00:09:41,112
However, we students are well

185
00:09:41,112 --> 00:09:44,112
aware of the existential threat

186
00:09:44,215 --> 00:09:44,883
the mere proposition of these

187
00:09:44,883 --> 00:09:48,483
cuts have to our future and

188
00:09:48,687 --> 00:09:49,388
the city as students while we

189
00:09:49,388 --> 00:09:49,988
still stare down the barrel of

190
00:09:49,988 --> 00:09:52,388
hundreds of thousands in

191
00:09:53,458 --> 00:09:54,159
student debt and the pursuance

192
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:54,826
of knowledge and the honor to

193
00:09:54,826 --> 00:09:57,226
contribute to our community.

194
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:58,630
City responds by defunding

195
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:59,298
the very resources that got us

196
00:09:59,298 --> 00:09:59,898
here the solutions that will

197
00:09:59,898 --> 00:10:00,298
keep our city green and

198
00:10:00,298 --> 00:10:02,298
sustainable.

199
00:10:03,168 --> 00:10:03,869
And once again attempt to

200
00:10:03,869 --> 00:10:04,469
reduce resources being housed

201
00:10:04,469 --> 00:10:06,869
while students bounce on

202
00:10:07,739 --> 00:10:08,407
the tightrope of a housing

203
00:10:08,407 --> 00:10:09,107
crisis and a tumultuous job

204
00:10:09,107 --> 00:10:12,107
market, our city quietly tries

205
00:10:13,111 --> 00:10:13,779
to remove the safety net.

206
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:14,480
I agree with the words of

207
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Councilmember Lee in saying

208
00:10:17,616 --> 00:10:18,150
that the artistic expression is

209
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:18,851
what makes us human.

210
00:10:18,851 --> 00:10:21,851
It's all the more unfortunate

211
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:22,721
that our humanity is contingent

212
00:10:22,721 --> 00:10:23,288
on multimillion dollar

213
00:10:23,288 --> 00:10:23,856
donations rather than

214
00:10:23,856 --> 00:10:25,856
institutional support.

215
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:27,493
All the while our council

216
00:10:27,493 --> 00:10:28,260
remains complicit in

217
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:28,694
the funding of mass

218
00:10:28,694 --> 00:10:31,940
surveillance of its citizens

219
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:32,564
through hpr expansion.

220
00:10:32,564 --> 00:10:33,198
Yet resources for our most

221
00:10:33,198 --> 00:10:35,198
vulnerable investment our

222
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:36,802
future and freedom of

223
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:37,469
self-expression are deemed

224
00:10:37,469 --> 00:10:39,469
unnecessary or conditional.

225
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:41,640
We get the message.

226
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,341
Therefore I on behalf of

227
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:45,844
Trenton Dems call on the City

228
00:10:45,844 --> 00:10:46,612
Council to deny this new budget

229
00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:47,246
because as young people we are

230
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:49,646
aware of what's happening.

231
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:51,383
We are aware of what's possible

232
00:10:51,383 --> 00:10:51,916
and we will keep showing up

233
00:10:51,916 --> 00:10:52,451
until we get there.

234
00:10:52,451 --> 00:10:54,451
Thank you all.

235
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,822
Thank you for that.

236
00:10:56,822 --> 00:10:57,423
I give a little bit of leeway

237
00:10:57,423 --> 00:10:58,123
to a first time speaker.

238
00:10:58,123 --> 00:11:00,592
This is not agenda public

239
00:11:00,592 --> 00:11:01,226
comment so don't speak on

240
00:11:01,226 --> 00:11:01,560
anything that's on today's

241
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:02,161
agenda.

242
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:02,795
There's a time for that.

243
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,664
I think you're probably in

244
00:11:05,664 --> 00:11:06,131
class today so a little bit of

245
00:11:06,131 --> 00:11:06,832
leeway as well.

246
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:09,301
But for everybody else this is

247
00:11:09,301 --> 00:11:10,102
not agenda public comment I

248
00:11:10,102 --> 00:11:13,102
think of your opponent Joyce

249
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,440
Nero, the love the ambassador

250
00:11:18,877 --> 00:11:20,877
city clerk okay.

251
00:11:22,481 --> 00:11:23,150
Yesterday I said part one of my

252
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:26,150
comments on the trash pickup

253
00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:30,986
fees Today I'll say part two

254
00:11:31,723 --> 00:11:32,524
which is a batch of thank you's

255
00:11:32,524 --> 00:11:36,124
thank you to the Honorable San

Diego Superior Court Judge Yuki

00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:41,934
to Oliver for all of her work

258
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:42,535
through the litigation process

259
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:44,535
especially her judicial

260
00:11:47,390 --> 00:11:47,673
discretion and as applied to

261
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:50,673
the outcome of this case.

262
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:54,943
Thank you to the former San

263
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:56,348
Diego City attorney Mike a Gary

264

Severinsen.

Oh and one more thing.

294
00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:09,589
Good morning MR. Stamp.

I hope you're listening.

296
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:13,990

297
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,861
suggestion, Jen regarding

298
00:13:14,861 --> 00:13:16,861

00:13:19,366 --> 00:13:19,832

Thank you.

303
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:24,737
Max Schmidt Hi.

304
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:29,242
I just wanted to come out as an

305
00:13:29,242 --> 00:13:29,909
American mind control think

306
00:13:29,909 --> 00:13:30,543
done by liberal Freemasons.

307
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:33,379
It started in 2016 when I

308
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:34,130
started doing lots lots of

309
00:13:34,130 --> 00:13:34,647
grassroots protesting for

310
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:37,647
Donald Trump such as flag

311
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:39,252
waving every single day for

312
00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:39,886
hours and also posting online

313
00:13:39,886 --> 00:13:42,286
how the Zionist controlled

314
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:44,794
white liberals are doing human

315
00:13:44,794 --> 00:13:44,961
sacrifices in the Masonic Lodge

316
00:13:44,961 --> 00:13:47,961
on basically what it's called

317
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:49,596
neuro linguistics And you can

318
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:50,263
look all into it on telepathic

319
00:13:50,263 --> 00:13:53,733
masons like the ones on city

320
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:54,401
council can read your mind And

321
00:13:54,401 --> 00:13:58,100
what they do is they use

322
00:13:58,571 --> 00:13:59,139
English words to on constantly

323
00:13:59,139 --> 00:13:59,839
say your thoughts but

324
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:03,439
the English words but they say

325
00:14:04,577 --> 00:14:05,345
something for example or say

326
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:06,212
like how are you doing well And

327
00:14:06,212 --> 00:14:09,349
then my brain will interpret as

328
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:09,950
you're going to and they'll

329
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:10,483
like do things like that

330
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:12,483
constantly nonstop.

331
00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:15,255
And I sat here for three hours

332
00:14:15,255 --> 00:14:15,955
yesterday waiting to speak and

333
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:19,555
I've been praying all day that

334
00:14:19,826 --> 00:14:20,360
they hide behind 5150 laws.

335
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,161
They're communist.

336
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:25,310
If you try and speak about this

337
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:25,799
they will detain you If you

338
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:26,366
want 50 laws and throw you in

339
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:26,966
prison like an animal.

340
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:29,903
So I just want to speak

341
00:14:29,903 --> 00:14:30,569
the truth and risk getting 5150

342
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:31,304
because this is America and

343
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:31,605
the First Amendment still alive

344
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:33,605
to me.

345
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:34,608
I sat here for three hours

346
00:14:34,608 --> 00:14:37,608
yesterday and they tortured me.

347
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:38,812
The city council members

348
00:14:38,812 --> 00:14:39,513
tortured me.

349
00:14:39,513 --> 00:14:40,347
They used neural linguistics.

350
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:43,283
You can read all about it to

351
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:44,840
constantly say my thoughts out

352
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:44,784
loud to I couldn't think for a

353
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:47,784
single second The city council

354
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:51,722
sitting right behind this desk

355
00:14:52,492 --> 00:14:53,293
tortured me yesterday for three

356
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:53,996
hours the same exact way I go

357
00:14:53,996 --> 00:14:57,197
out in public and get stalked

358
00:14:57,197 --> 00:14:57,898
and tortured And you'd better

359
00:14:57,898 --> 00:14:58,598
not 5150 me because the First

360
00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:02,198
Amendment is live and you know

361
00:15:02,637 --> 00:15:03,303
I'm not crazy and you know

362
00:15:03,303 --> 00:15:04,380
you're guilty guilty, guilty

363
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:07,400
And you know that you have done

364
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:07,741
a human sacrifice and

365
00:15:07,741 --> 00:15:08,441
the Masonic Lodge and you know

366
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:08,976
you are cannibals and you know

367
00:15:08,976 --> 00:15:10,976
you are telepathic.

368
00:15:13,613 --> 00:15:13,947
How dare you try to mess with

369
00:15:13,947 --> 00:15:14,848
my head?

370
00:15:14,848 --> 00:15:17,684
How dare you mess up my head in

371
00:15:17,684 --> 00:15:18,485
an American city council when

372
00:15:18,485 --> 00:15:19,219
I'm here to talk about my

373
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:22,819
freedom and you try to question

374
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:24,858
my freedom and you better not

375
00:15:24,858 --> 00:15:25,526
try to say I'm crazy because

376
00:15:25,526 --> 00:15:28,162
I'm not crazy of the occult.

377
00:15:28,162 --> 00:15:28,896
>> I'm not crazy.

378
00:15:28,896 --> 00:15:29,496
>> That concludes knowledge at

379
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:30,230
a public comment hearing

380
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:33,660
Council chambers going to those

381
00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:33,734

Southeastern San Diego resident

389
00:15:48,982 --> 00:15:52,582
I want to thank everybody for

390
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:53,754
their due diligence in giving

391
00:15:53,754 --> 00:15:54,454
us 9:00 am appreciative I want

392
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:57,758
to make sure that we're on

393
00:15:57,758 --> 00:15:58,459
the same page of what

394
00:15:58,459 --> 00:16:01,459
transparency means If the city

395
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:02,863
of San Diego pays out 30

396
00:16:02,863 --> 00:16:03,597
million and the taxpayers know

397
00:16:03,597 --> 00:16:07,101
you paid out of 30 million, why

398
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:07,801
When we go and we scour and

399
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:08,135
read closed session it says no

400
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:08,502
report.

401
00:16:08,502 --> 00:16:10,502
No report.

402
00:16:12,539 --> 00:16:13,239
How can some payments be made

403
00:16:13,239 --> 00:16:13,640
public and then some payments

404
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,640
are sealed?

405
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,678
We know that San Diego Police

406
00:16:17,678 --> 00:16:19,678
Department officers former

407
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:22,516
current are suing the city of

408
00:16:22,516 --> 00:16:23,317
San Diego.

409
00:16:23,317 --> 00:16:26,917
>> We should be able to access

410
00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:28,880
the list of lawsuits,

411
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:28,689
the payouts that are occurring

412
00:16:28,689 --> 00:16:31,689
to the San Diego police

413
00:16:33,294 --> 00:16:33,894
officers and the public all

414
00:16:33,894 --> 00:16:36,894
within the same realm of

415
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:38,398
transparency that is not

416
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:39,132
occurring.

417
00:16:39,132 --> 00:16:42,732
I pulled up closed session and

418
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:44,710
I saw Officer Art Scott and

419
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:44,572
there was nothing there,

420
00:16:44,572 --> 00:16:46,572
nothing to report.

421
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:48,442
So you MAY still be in

422
00:16:48,442 --> 00:16:49,209
litigation.

423
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:50,770
We MAY still be waiting for

424
00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:53,677
someone to sign off but that

425
00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:54,849
does not negate

426
00:16:54,849 --> 00:16:55,549
the conversations that should

427
00:16:55,549 --> 00:16:59,149
be happening right now We have

428
00:16:59,153 --> 00:16:59,920
a couple that are divorced and

429
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,791
both of them are in San Diego

430
00:17:03,791 --> 00:17:04,624
pd and they're both suing.

431
00:17:04,624 --> 00:17:05,359
We should have a conversation

432
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,959
about that again as we continue

433
00:17:09,330 --> 00:17:10,300
to want to build a bridge of

434
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:10,531
transparency, we want to build

435
00:17:10,531 --> 00:17:12,931
a bridge of trust.

436
00:17:14,836 --> 00:17:15,469
Let's have hard conversations

437
00:17:15,469 --> 00:17:18,469
If you're going to settle,

438
00:17:19,974 --> 00:17:20,741
settle no problem, turn around

439
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:21,609
and let's just discuss it so

440
00:17:21,609 --> 00:17:24,646
that we can build on how not to

441
00:17:24,646 --> 00:17:25,379
do it again, how we are going

442
00:17:25,379 --> 00:17:25,680
to take what we settled for and

443
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,580
build.

444
00:17:26,580 --> 00:17:30,180
You have still yet to have

445
00:17:30,284 --> 00:17:30,617
the conversation about the 30

446
00:17:30,617 --> 00:17:31,285
million.

447
00:17:31,285 --> 00:17:31,652
What is the department doing

448
00:17:31,652 --> 00:17:32,153
different?

449
00:17:32,153 --> 00:17:34,153
What has changed?

450
00:17:35,790 --> 00:17:36,457
Those are the conversations

451
00:17:36,457 --> 00:17:37,910
that have to happen Respect

452
00:17:37,910 --> 00:17:39,491
that Things are absolutely

453
00:17:41,128 --> 00:17:41,829
private but when it comes to

454
00:17:41,829 --> 00:17:42,230
our tax dollars nothing should

455
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:42,930
be private.

456
00:17:42,930 --> 00:17:46,530
Thank you for allowing me to

457
00:17:46,834 --> 00:17:47,201
speak.

458
00:17:47,201 --> 00:17:48,690
Thank you.

459
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:48,402
Next is Becky Rob if you can

460
00:17:48,402 --> 00:17:49,803
please.

461
00:17:49,803 --> 00:17:53,403
And you for Becky will be

462
00:17:55,443 --> 00:17:55,754
really strong Becky wrap for

463
00:17:55,754 --> 00:17:57,754
you.

464
00:18:00,281 --> 00:18:00,714
There you go.

465
00:18:00,714 --> 00:18:01,549
Good morning.

466
00:18:01,549 --> 00:18:02,417
My name is Becky Rapp and I'm

467
00:18:02,417 --> 00:18:05,920
here today to ask the city to

468
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,621
prioritize public education and

469
00:18:06,621 --> 00:18:09,210
prevention regarding the risks

470
00:18:10,558 --> 00:18:11,225
associated with today's high

471
00:18:11,225 --> 00:18:11,893
potency marijuana products.

472
00:18:11,893 --> 00:18:14,293
The science around marijuana

473
00:18:16,264 --> 00:18:16,998
has changed dramatically over

474
00:18:16,998 --> 00:18:17,565
the last decade An ever growing

475
00:18:17,565 --> 00:18:19,965
body of evidence from

476
00:18:21,703 --> 00:18:22,303
researchers, hospitals, public

477
00:18:22,303 --> 00:18:23,400
health agencies and now

478
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:23,504
the federal government can no

479
00:18:23,504 --> 00:18:25,504
longer be ignored.

480
00:18:27,908 --> 00:18:28,509
Just recently the us Substance

481
00:18:28,509 --> 00:18:29,110
Abuse and Mental Health

482
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:31,110
Services Administration

483
00:18:33,181 --> 00:18:33,780
released a national advisory

484
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:34,448
calling for health care

485
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:35,149
providers to screen patients

486
00:18:35,149 --> 00:18:38,149
for cannabis use disorder and

487
00:18:39,187 --> 00:18:39,853
educate them about the risks

488
00:18:39,853 --> 00:18:40,388
associated with cannabis use

489
00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:42,388
across the lifespan.

490
00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:44,759
Sam says specifically

491
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:47,159
highlights concerns related to

492
00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:49,898
addiction mental health impacts

493
00:18:49,898 --> 00:18:50,531
,cannabis induced psychosis

494
00:18:50,531 --> 00:18:50,999
and increasing potency of

495
00:18:50,999 --> 00:18:52,999
modern products.

496
00:18:55,336 --> 00:18:55,970
Many San Diego and still

497
00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:56,704
believe that marijuana is

498
00:18:56,704 --> 00:19:00,304
the same product that existed a

499
00:19:00,375 --> 00:19:01,900
generation ago and it is not

500
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,900
today's concentrates vapes

501
00:19:05,513 --> 00:19:06,248
edibles and high thc products

502
00:19:06,248 --> 00:19:06,915
can contain potency levels that

503
00:19:06,915 --> 00:19:09,315
would have been unimaginable

504
00:19:11,553 --> 00:19:12,253
just a few decades ago.

505
00:19:12,253 --> 00:19:12,954
Yet many consumers are unaware

506
00:19:12,954 --> 00:19:15,354
of the potential consequences

507
00:19:17,258 --> 00:19:17,926
especially young people whose

508
00:19:17,926 --> 00:19:18,526
brains are still developing.

509
00:19:18,526 --> 00:19:20,526
Consumers deserve honest

510
00:19:22,497 --> 00:19:23,640
science based information so

511
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:23,431
they can make informed

512
00:19:23,431 --> 00:19:24,990
decisions.

513
00:19:24,990 --> 00:19:26,499
Parents deserve resources to

514
00:19:28,503 --> 00:19:29,170
recognize warning signs and

515
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:29,771
young people deserve to hear

516
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:32,771
the full story not just

517
00:19:33,775 --> 00:19:34,442
the marketing And individuals

518
00:19:34,442 --> 00:19:35,143
struggling with cannabis use

519
00:19:35,143 --> 00:19:38,143
disorder deserve to know that

520
00:19:38,613 --> 00:19:39,314
there is help available.

521
00:19:39,314 --> 00:19:39,948
I urge Council to support

522
00:19:39,948 --> 00:19:41,948
stronger public education

523
00:19:43,585 --> 00:19:44,219
efforts Community outreach and

524
00:19:44,219 --> 00:19:44,920
prevention campaigns that

525
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320
communicate the documented and

526
00:19:50,525 --> 00:19:50,992
science based health risks.

527
00:19:50,992 --> 00:19:51,393
>> Thank you.

528
00:19:51,393 --> 00:19:52,227
Thank you.

529
00:19:52,227 --> 00:19:55,730
Next is Judy Strang, if you can

530
00:19:55,730 --> 00:19:57,730
please On you.

531
00:20:01,469 --> 00:20:02,103
Well, good morning and thank

532
00:20:02,103 --> 00:20:02,704
you for the opportunity to

533
00:20:02,704 --> 00:20:05,104
speak from my workshop.

534
00:20:05,207 --> 00:20:05,774
Nine of us are scrambling this

535
00:20:05,774 --> 00:20:08,174
morning but thank you.

536
00:20:09,844 --> 00:20:10,545
I wanted to share some

537
00:20:10,545 --> 00:20:11,146
information on behalf of those

538
00:20:11,146 --> 00:20:11,812
who work with children,

539
00:20:11,812 --> 00:20:14,212
particularly those that are

540
00:20:15,417 --> 00:20:16,170
concerned about their exposure

541
00:20:16,170 --> 00:20:16,384
to alcohol, tobacco and

542
00:20:16,384 --> 00:20:18,384
marijuana.

543
00:20:21,189 --> 00:20:21,857
The research that comes out

544
00:20:21,857 --> 00:20:22,490
from the American Academy of

545
00:20:22,490 --> 00:20:24,890
Pediatrics is pretty clear

546
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,695
about how they feel about

547
00:20:26,695 --> 00:20:27,396
marijuana use during pregnancy.

548
00:20:27,396 --> 00:20:30,396
But now we're hearing warnings

549
00:20:32,167 --> 00:20:32,868
about pre-pregnancy

550
00:20:32,868 --> 00:20:35,868
the interruption of the dna

551
00:20:38,239 --> 00:20:38,940
process that produces the and

552
00:20:38,940 --> 00:20:39,374
how it can affect the outcome

553
00:20:39,374 --> 00:20:41,374
for the baby.

554
00:20:43,578 --> 00:20:44,179
The cdc has followed up with

555
00:20:44,179 --> 00:20:45,470
this and pointed out how

556
00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:48,647
important it is for us to

557
00:20:49,283 --> 00:20:49,985
recognize that epigenetic

558
00:20:49,985 --> 00:20:50,519
changes happen with marijuana

559
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:52,519
use pre-conception.

560
00:20:55,657 --> 00:20:56,258
Then conception as well during

561
00:20:56,258 --> 00:20:56,592
the time of babies being

562
00:20:56,592 --> 00:20:58,592
carried.

563
00:21:00,529 --> 00:21:01,229
We are concerned that this

564
00:21:01,229 --> 00:21:01,897
information is not getting out

565
00:21:01,897 --> 00:21:02,164
to our young women and young

566
00:21:02,164 --> 00:21:04,164
men.

567
00:21:06,468 --> 00:21:07,169
We also need to be reminded

568
00:21:07,169 --> 00:21:07,870
the cdc tells us that high

569
00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:10,270
potency thc marijuana crosses

570
00:21:13,242 --> 00:21:13,976
the placenta and passes into

571
00:21:13,976 --> 00:21:14,676
the about potentially exposing

572
00:21:14,676 --> 00:21:17,760
infants during these critical

573
00:21:18,747 --> 00:21:19,481
stages of brain development.

574
00:21:19,481 --> 00:21:20,181
Many of us have young children

575
00:21:20,181 --> 00:21:20,549
within our purview of care as

576
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:22,549
do I.

577
00:21:23,786 --> 00:21:24,486
And recognize how critical

578
00:21:24,486 --> 00:21:28,860
these early years are and that

579
00:21:29,158 --> 00:21:29,825
our children deserve to come

580
00:21:29,825 --> 00:21:30,392
into childhood with as many

581
00:21:30,392 --> 00:21:32,792
benefits as they can.

582
00:21:35,698 --> 00:21:36,398
And we question and get

583
00:21:36,398 --> 00:21:37,320
the promotion, the billboards,

584
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
the normalization of a few

585
00:21:41,370 --> 00:21:42,104
across the city regarding

586
00:21:42,104 --> 00:21:42,805
marijuana use is serving anyone

587
00:21:42,805 --> 00:21:45,205
well certainly profiteers but

588
00:21:47,343 --> 00:21:48,770
not our children.

589
00:21:48,770 --> 00:21:48,377
>> Thank you for letting me

590
00:21:48,377 --> 00:21:48,743
share.

591
00:21:48,743 --> 00:21:49,511
Thank you.

592
00:21:49,511 --> 00:21:53,315
If I MAY a time or two to

593
00:21:53,315 --> 00:21:54,820
include during your comments

594
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:54,683
there are only two speakers in

595
00:21:54,683 --> 00:21:55,350
the queue at that time.

596
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:55,784
Any additional speakers will

597
00:21:55,784 --> 00:21:56,385
not be taken.

598
00:21:56,385 --> 00:21:58,785
Blaire Beekman your next

599
00:21:58,821 --> 00:21:59,188
speaker and our final speaker

600
00:21:59,188 --> 00:21:59,655
is Hector.

601
00:21:59,655 --> 00:22:00,189
>> All right.

602
00:22:00,189 --> 00:22:02,189
Thank you everyone.

603
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,627
Thanks for the meeting today

604
00:22:04,627 --> 00:22:05,361
and important meeting today.

605
00:22:05,361 --> 00:22:08,961
I had a clarifying question As

606
00:22:10,132 --> 00:22:10,866
you know, the budget items will

607
00:22:10,866 --> 00:22:11,534
be at 1:00 and you're expecting

608
00:22:11,534 --> 00:22:14,870
many people to speak on what

609
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:15,304
I'm assuming are the future

610
00:22:15,304 --> 00:22:16,380
estates.

611
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:19,638
Nothing in that item that is

612
00:22:21,911 --> 00:22:22,444
specifically meant to speak

613
00:22:22,444 --> 00:22:23,112
towards technology.

614
00:22:23,112 --> 00:22:23,746
So it seems like non agenda

615
00:22:23,746 --> 00:22:26,746
public comment I should be

616
00:22:27,517 --> 00:22:28,384
allowed to speak on the subject

617
00:22:28,384 --> 00:22:29,118
if I want to Just to clarify

618
00:22:29,118 --> 00:22:32,718
and question I won't speak I'll

619
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:34,457
wait for my comments on

620
00:22:34,457 --> 00:22:35,570
technology at today's later

621
00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:35,691
meeting at this time not

622
00:22:35,691 --> 00:22:38,910
intended public comment I

623
00:22:39,628 --> 00:22:43,228
wanted to comment that I really

624
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:45,234
have Thank you in how city

625
00:22:45,234 --> 00:22:45,901
Council has been working in

626
00:22:45,901 --> 00:22:46,536
the past few months in this

627
00:22:46,536 --> 00:22:49,536
budget time to really make

628
00:22:50,906 --> 00:22:51,607
clear the point on the on

629
00:22:51,607 --> 00:22:54,607
the purpose of social services

630
00:22:56,612 --> 00:22:57,146
and human care and care for our

631
00:22:57,146 --> 00:22:57,813
local neighborhoods.

632
00:22:57,813 --> 00:23:01,413
That's first And then we can

633
00:23:02,518 --> 00:23:03,850
address budget deficit issues.

634
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:03,853
Budget deficit and its

635
00:23:03,853 --> 00:23:07,453
austerity does not have to take

636
00:23:08,491 --> 00:23:09,158
an over arching precedence and

637
00:23:09,158 --> 00:23:09,826
I hope we're really learning

638
00:23:09,826 --> 00:23:13,426
that and that's what we come

639
00:23:14,864 --> 00:23:15,531
back to next year And how to

640
00:23:15,531 --> 00:23:16,232
address our budget issues is

641
00:23:16,232 --> 00:23:18,632
addressing our social service

642
00:23:20,403 --> 00:23:21,137
needs of our local

643
00:23:21,137 --> 00:23:21,738
neighborhoods first and then we

644
00:23:21,738 --> 00:23:22,338
can address the deficit.

645
00:23:22,338 --> 00:23:25,775
I know the deficit is a

646
00:23:25,775 --> 00:23:26,642
troublesome thing.

647
00:23:26,642 --> 00:23:27,310
It MAY take a bit longer and

648
00:23:27,310 --> 00:23:28,144
years to fully work out and

649
00:23:28,144 --> 00:23:32,344
we're going to have to be in

650
00:23:32,482 --> 00:23:33,349
cutting practices for a while.

651
00:23:33,349 --> 00:23:34,500
But as long as we keep those

652
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,500
social services in place, you

653
00:23:38,654 --> 00:23:39,355
know, bring back library hours

654
00:23:39,355 --> 00:23:40,122
there are ways to learn how to

655
00:23:40,122 --> 00:23:44,922
do that and we have to do all

656
00:23:45,128 --> 00:23:45,695
of that and to continue

657
00:23:45,695 --> 00:23:46,462
the good day centers.

658
00:23:46,462 --> 00:23:49,799
So good luck in those sort of

659
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:50,533
good efforts And that's how we

660
00:23:50,533 --> 00:23:51,266
can talk about responsible tech

661
00:23:51,266 --> 00:23:55,466
use in our future And good luck

662
00:23:55,871 --> 00:23:56,773
to our afternoon meeting today

663
00:23:56,773 --> 00:23:57,507
What we can be doing It takes a

664
00:23:57,507 --> 00:23:59,907
community and participation not

665
00:24:01,878 --> 00:24:02,545
government dictates.

666
00:24:02,545 --> 00:24:03,120
>> That's our future.

667
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:03,413
Guys, thank you.

668
00:24:03,413 --> 00:24:05,413
Thank you.

669
00:24:07,283 --> 00:24:07,583
And our final speaker is Hector

670
00:24:07,583 --> 00:24:08,151
.

671
00:24:08,151 --> 00:24:08,751
>> Good morning guys.

672
00:24:08,751 --> 00:24:11,751
Let's focus the city on

673
00:24:14,324 --> 00:24:14,724
building a state of the art

674
00:24:14,724 --> 00:24:15,591
sewer plant.

675
00:24:15,591 --> 00:24:16,358
The two you want to river Lou

676
00:24:16,358 --> 00:24:19,662
and turn it into drinking water

677
00:24:19,662 --> 00:24:20,396
and stuff Top a line and get

678
00:24:20,396 --> 00:24:23,396
money from tariffs from Mexico.

679
00:24:25,335 --> 00:24:25,735
There's so much angles going

680
00:24:25,735 --> 00:24:26,402
everywhere.

681
00:24:26,402 --> 00:24:27,104
Different things in the city

682
00:24:27,104 --> 00:24:30,704
and the county And let's focus

683
00:24:32,208 --> 00:24:32,876
on the sewer plant because

684
00:24:32,876 --> 00:24:33,610
because the kids down there

685
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:34,311
the poor kids that have to live

686
00:24:34,311 --> 00:24:37,580
down there and breathe the air

687
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:38,281
are worth it.

688
00:24:38,281 --> 00:24:38,715
Whatever color they are, they

689
00:24:38,715 --> 00:24:40,715
are worth it.

690
00:24:44,487 --> 00:24:44,821
Mexico does not care about us

691
00:24:44,821 --> 00:24:45,455
one bit.

692
00:24:45,455 --> 00:24:46,156
They'd be fixing their own

693
00:24:46,156 --> 00:24:49,756
sewer plant than any and that

694
00:24:49,793 --> 00:24:50,427
is gay pride month.

695
00:24:50,427 --> 00:24:50,994
The city should organize a

696
00:24:50,994 --> 00:24:53,394
SlutWalk from the city

697
00:24:56,433 --> 00:24:57,670
operations building down to

698
00:24:57,670 --> 00:24:57,767
where the are hanging on

699
00:24:57,767 --> 00:25:00,767
National Avenue down there to

700
00:25:02,339 --> 00:25:02,639
raise money for the sewer

701
00:25:02,639 --> 00:25:03,106
plant.

702
00:25:03,106 --> 00:25:03,773
That'd be great.

703
00:25:03,773 --> 00:25:06,773
It would incorporate the gay

704
00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:08,778
community that they love and

705
00:25:08,778 --> 00:25:12,378
they could all walk down there

706
00:25:13,583 --> 00:25:14,284
and raise money along the way,

707
00:25:14,284 --> 00:25:14,951
do all these events to raise

708
00:25:14,951 --> 00:25:18,551
money on the sewer plant And

709
00:25:19,489 --> 00:25:20,123
then when the city really work,

710
00:25:20,123 --> 00:25:23,193
the city of San Diego and

711
00:25:23,193 --> 00:25:23,893
the county and state worked in

712
00:25:23,893 --> 00:25:24,594
the 50s and 70s because white

713
00:25:24,594 --> 00:25:28,194
men were running the show They

714
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,101
did it so we should have White

715
00:25:31,101 --> 00:25:34,101
History Month in JULY and

716
00:25:36,873 --> 00:25:37,607
celebrate the White guys that

717
00:25:37,607 --> 00:25:41,807
ran the show really well and it

718
00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:43,613
had great accomplishments in

719
00:25:43,613 --> 00:25:44,314
the city at that time.

720
00:25:44,314 --> 00:25:44,848
Now we're just down the hill

721
00:25:44,848 --> 00:25:46,848
sliding to nowhere.

722
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,786
You know we were smelling

723
00:25:49,786 --> 00:25:52,186
Mexican for decades because

724
00:25:54,357 --> 00:25:55,580
the Democratic Party of these

725
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:55,759
they're stealing the election

726
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:56,159
in la right now The Democrats

727
00:25:56,159 --> 00:25:58,159
are thieves.

728
00:26:01,970 --> 00:26:01,832
All you guys are organized is

729
00:26:01,832 --> 00:26:05,432
SlutWalk and do your part The,

730
00:26:07,604 --> 00:26:08,405

it all genders all three of

732
00:26:13,777 --> 00:26:14,411

00:27:24,114 --> 00:27:24,748
for the presentation.

777
00:27:24,748 --> 00:27:25,316
This is the third budget

778
00:27:25,316 --> 00:27:25,783
monitoring report for

779
00:27:25,783 --> 00:27:26,317
the fiscal year.

780
00:27:26,317 --> 00:27:28,717
It was developed in

781
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:29,620
coordination with departments

782
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:30,154
based on nine months of

783
00:27:30,154 --> 00:27:30,888
financial activity.

784
00:27:30,888 --> 00:27:34,488
It includes a full analysis of

785
00:27:35,126 --> 00:27:35,793
projected revenues and

786
00:27:35,793 --> 00:27:36,493
expenditures for all general

787
00:27:36,493 --> 00:27:40,930
fund departments as well as a

788
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:41,732
number of nonfederal funds.

789
00:27:41,732 --> 00:27:42,366
Overall general fund revenues

790
00:27:42,366 --> 00:27:44,766
and expenditures are both

791
00:27:46,203 --> 00:27:46,870
projected to be under budget

792
00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:47,438
resulting in a slight net

793
00:27:47,438 --> 00:27:49,438
positive position for

794
00:27:52,676 --> 00:27:53,377
the general Fund in both

795
00:27:53,377 --> 00:27:53,911
reflecting a variance of less

796
00:27:53,911 --> 00:27:55,911
than 1% from budget.

797
00:27:57,982 --> 00:27:58,716
However, there are some

798
00:27:58,716 --> 00:27:59,416
sensitivities that are detailed

799
00:27:59,416 --> 00:28:00,117
in the report including timing

800
00:28:00,117 --> 00:28:03,117
of expenditures and receipt of

801
00:28:05,156 --> 00:28:05,856
revenues that could have an

802
00:28:05,856 --> 00:28:06,491
impact on actuals at year end.

803
00:28:06,491 --> 00:28:09,491
The report also includes a

804
00:28:10,494 --> 00:28:11,610
number of appropriation

805
00:28:11,610 --> 00:28:11,695
requests and requested

806
00:28:11,695 --> 00:28:12,330
authorities which will be

807
00:28:12,330 --> 00:28:14,730
discussed in more detail.

808
00:28:17,134 --> 00:28:17,702
I want to thank all city

809
00:28:17,702 --> 00:28:18,369
departments for their

810
00:28:18,369 --> 00:28:19,103
contributions in developing

811
00:28:19,103 --> 00:28:22,103
this report and we've requested

812
00:28:24,108 --> 00:28:24,842
departments to attend today to

813
00:28:24,842 --> 00:28:25,309
help assist with any questions

814
00:28:25,309 --> 00:28:26,100
you might have.

815
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:29,914
And I'll turn it over to Amber

816
00:28:29,914 --> 00:28:30,581
to walk through the specifics.

817
00:28:30,581 --> 00:28:31,349
>> Thank you, Ben.

818
00:28:31,349 --> 00:28:34,285
At a high level general fund

819
00:28:34,285 --> 00:28:35,190
revenues are projected to end

820
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:35,586
the fiscal year 10.5 million or

821
00:28:35,586 --> 00:28:37,586
0.5% of our budget.

822
00:28:39,790 --> 00:28:40,424
This is comprised of 6.9

823
00:28:40,424 --> 00:28:42,824
million decrease in major

824
00:28:43,728 --> 00:28:44,328
general fund revenues and 3.7

825
00:28:44,328 --> 00:28:44,695
million in departmental

826
00:28:44,695 --> 00:28:45,396
revenues.

827
00:28:45,396 --> 00:28:47,796
General fund expenditures are

828
00:28:48,732 --> 00:28:49,467
projected to end the fiscal

829
00:28:49,467 --> 00:28:49,800
year 12.2 million or 0.6% under

830
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,800
budget.

831
00:28:53,771 --> 00:28:54,406
This is comprised of 28.7

832
00:28:54,406 --> 00:28:55,139
million in fringe and non

833
00:28:55,139 --> 00:28:57,139
personal expenditures partially

834
00:28:59,377 --> 00:28:59,911
offset by an average of 16.5

835
00:28:59,911 --> 00:29:00,343
million in personnel

836
00:29:00,343 --> 00:29:02,343
expenditures.

837
00:29:04,449 --> 00:29:05,116
Based on projections included

838
00:29:05,116 --> 00:29:05,850
in the third quarter report,

839
00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:08,186
the General Fund is expected to

840
00:29:08,186 --> 00:29:08,887
end the fiscal year with a

841
00:29:08,887 --> 00:29:09,487
positive 1.7 million ending

842
00:29:09,487 --> 00:29:11,487
that projected activity.

843
00:29:14,992 --> 00:29:15,626
Before elaborating further, we

844
00:29:15,626 --> 00:29:16,194
want to pause to summarize

845
00:29:16,194 --> 00:29:16,928
the mitigation actions

846
00:29:16,928 --> 00:29:19,928
implemented this fiscal year as

847
00:29:20,465 --> 00:29:21,199
well as positive developments

848
00:29:21,199 --> 00:29:21,766
that have improved the general

849
00:29:21,766 --> 00:29:22,333
fund fiscal position.

850
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:22,934
These actions reflect

851
00:29:22,934 --> 00:29:24,934
intentional and ongoing

852
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:27,372
strategies to maintain fiscal

853
00:29:27,372 --> 00:29:28,600
stability.

854
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:28,640
This includes the f y 2026

855
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Budget Mitigation Actions

856
00:29:33,478 --> 00:29:34,212
Memorandum issued in NOVEMBER

857
00:29:34,212 --> 00:29:34,846
2025 which is which implemented

858
00:29:34,846 --> 00:29:37,846
a request to fill process

859
00:29:39,384 --> 00:29:40,510
limiting hiring to the most

860
00:29:40,510 --> 00:29:40,718
critical positions directed

861
00:29:40,718 --> 00:29:41,352
suspension of discretionary

862
00:29:41,352 --> 00:29:43,352
spending and non-essential

863
00:29:45,723 --> 00:29:46,424
overtime and required contract

864
00:29:46,424 --> 00:29:47,124
reviews for potential savings.

865
00:29:47,124 --> 00:29:51,228
The city is also the city also

866
00:29:51,228 --> 00:29:51,796
advanced organization

867
00:29:51,796 --> 00:29:52,463
Realignment to improve

868
00:29:52,463 --> 00:29:53,131
efficiencies and identified

869
00:29:53,131 --> 00:29:55,531
available funding sources to

870
00:29:57,836 --> 00:29:58,303
support to support or reimburse

871
00:29:58,303 --> 00:29:59,300
eligible costs.

872
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,300
Positive developments include

873
00:30:03,141 --> 00:30:03,775
reduced contributions to

874
00:30:03,775 --> 00:30:04,442
the Public Liability fund

875
00:30:04,442 --> 00:30:05,900
following receipt of onetime

876
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:07,900
proceeds and improved

877
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:09,514
performance of Major General

878
00:30:09,514 --> 00:30:10,281
fund revenues.

879
00:30:10,281 --> 00:30:10,982
Since the Media report here are

880
00:30:10,982 --> 00:30:13,382
the third quarter projections

881
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:15,654
for the major general fund

882
00:30:15,654 --> 00:30:16,321
revenues compared to

883
00:30:16,321 --> 00:30:18,721
the current budget, overall

884
00:30:19,424 --> 00:30:20,910
revenues are projected to

885
00:30:20,910 --> 00:30:20,758
decrease by net 6.9 million

886
00:30:20,758 --> 00:30:21,459
primarily due to declines in

887
00:30:21,459 --> 00:30:23,859
transit occupancy tax revenues

888
00:30:25,864 --> 00:30:26,564
and other major revenues.

889
00:30:26,564 --> 00:30:28,964
Transit occupancy tax revenues

890
00:30:30,836 --> 00:30:31,469
are projected 3.9 million

891
00:30:31,469 --> 00:30:32,690
budget due to declines in

892
00:30:32,690 --> 00:30:32,771
international travel and

893
00:30:32,771 --> 00:30:35,771
moderate growth in leisure and

894
00:30:36,808 --> 00:30:37,441
business travel.

895
00:30:37,441 --> 00:30:38,109
Additionally, other major

896
00:30:38,109 --> 00:30:38,743
revenues are projected 18.1

897
00:30:38,743 --> 00:30:41,143
million under the current

898
00:30:43,114 --> 00:30:43,849
budget primarily due to

899
00:30:43,849 --> 00:30:44,482
negative interest earnings from

900
00:30:44,482 --> 00:30:44,849
reduced general fund cash

901
00:30:44,849 --> 00:30:46,849
balances.

902
00:30:48,653 --> 00:30:49,354
These decreases are partially

903
00:30:49,354 --> 00:30:50,550
offset by projected increases

904
00:30:50,550 --> 00:30:53,550
of 2.8 million in property tax

905
00:30:55,293 --> 00:30:55,994
due to higher collections 4.6

906
00:30:55,994 --> 00:30:56,628
million in sales tax due to

907
00:30:56,628 --> 00:30:58,628
stronger than anticipated

908
00:31:00,165 --> 00:31:00,765
second quarter receipts and 7.8

909
00:31:00,765 --> 00:31:01,366
million franchise fees.

910
00:31:01,366 --> 00:31:03,766
Following the receipt of

911
00:31:04,936 --> 00:31:05,637
the annual Genie cleanup

912
00:31:05,637 --> 00:31:06,304
payment in FEBRUARY since

913
00:31:06,304 --> 00:31:07,500
the release of the report we

914
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,405
have received updated receipts

915
00:31:11,443 --> 00:31:12,144
from major revenues with

916
00:31:12,144 --> 00:31:12,811
the most significant uptick in

917
00:31:12,811 --> 00:31:13,445
property taxes coming in 2.4

918
00:31:13,445 --> 00:31:15,445
million below projections.

919
00:31:17,682 --> 00:31:18,317
This decrease is partially

920
00:31:18,317 --> 00:31:18,984
offset by increases of 1.1

921
00:31:18,984 --> 00:31:21,384
million in transit occupancy

922
00:31:23,655 --> 00:31:24,389
tax and 359,000 sales tax.

923
00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:27,389
Overall these updates result in

924
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,461
a net decrease of 946,000

925
00:31:29,461 --> 00:31:29,795
compared to the third quarter

926
00:31:29,795 --> 00:31:30,495
report.

927
00:31:30,495 --> 00:31:33,495
Staff will continue to closely

928
00:31:35,801 --> 00:31:36,501
monitor revenues and

929
00:31:36,501 --> 00:31:37,236
expenditures for the remainder

930
00:31:37,236 --> 00:31:37,603
of fiscal year for departmental

931
00:31:37,603 --> 00:31:39,603
revenues.

932
00:31:41,573 --> 00:31:42,274
A 3.7 million decrease is

933
00:31:42,274 --> 00:31:42,975
primarily due to lower double

934
00:31:42,975 --> 00:31:45,975
park parking revenue in parks

935
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:47,679
and recreation due shifts in

936
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:48,347
the program's implementation

937
00:31:48,347 --> 00:31:48,847
timeline and adjustments to

938
00:31:48,847 --> 00:31:50,847
the fee structure.

939
00:31:52,951 --> 00:31:53,686
Additionally there are

940
00:31:53,686 --> 00:31:54,419
projected decreases in leaf and

941
00:31:54,419 --> 00:31:55,200
concession wayfinding kiosk and

942
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,420
telecom revenue with an

943
00:31:58,356 --> 00:31:59,910
economic development reduced

944
00:31:59,910 --> 00:31:59,758
parking meter reimbursement and

945
00:31:59,758 --> 00:32:00,159
parking citation revenue and

946
00:32:00,159 --> 00:32:02,159
stormwater.

947
00:32:04,329 --> 00:32:04,997
A continued decline in cannabis

948
00:32:04,997 --> 00:32:05,563
business tax revenue in city

949
00:32:05,563 --> 00:32:07,563
Treasurer and reduced

950
00:32:11,136 --> 00:32:11,870
reimbursements from the County

951
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:12,471
Fund for Homelessness Services.

952
00:32:12,471 --> 00:32:12,871
Based on the expenditure

953
00:32:12,871 --> 00:32:14,871
projections.

954
00:32:16,675 --> 00:32:17,242
These decreases are partially

955
00:32:17,242 --> 00:32:17,909
offset by increases in

956
00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:18,610
environmental services from

957
00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:21,100
higher reimbursements for code

958
00:32:22,681 --> 00:32:23,382
enforcement abatements,

959
00:32:23,382 --> 00:32:24,116
sidewalk sanitation and litter

960
00:32:24,116 --> 00:32:27,116
container management as well as

961
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:29,288
work performed by the code

962
00:32:29,288 --> 00:32:29,922
compliance team.

963
00:32:29,922 --> 00:32:30,556
Fire Rescue is projecting

964
00:32:30,556 --> 00:32:32,556
higher reimbursements for

965
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:35,694
Lifeguard Junior Lifeguard and

966
00:32:35,694 --> 00:32:36,328
paramedic services as well

967
00:32:36,328 --> 00:32:38,328
striping and deployments.

968
00:32:41,233 --> 00:32:41,967
Police revenues are projected

969
00:32:41,967 --> 00:32:42,601
to increase due to additional

970
00:32:42,601 --> 00:32:43,302
reimbursements for special

971
00:32:43,302 --> 00:32:43,702
events and parking enforcement

972
00:32:43,702 --> 00:32:45,702
activities.

973
00:32:47,873 --> 00:32:48,574
Joint projects.

974
00:32:48,574 --> 00:32:49,308
Transportation is projected to

975
00:32:49,308 --> 00:32:49,976
increase revenues due to higher

976
00:32:49,976 --> 00:32:52,976
Transnet and gas tax support

977
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:54,747
for eligible expenditures while

978
00:32:54,747 --> 00:32:55,281
General Services projects an

979
00:32:55,281 --> 00:32:55,914
increase from higher

980
00:32:55,914 --> 00:32:57,914
reimbursements for tenant

981
00:32:59,552 --> 00:32:59,952
maintenance and repair

982
00:32:59,952 --> 00:33:00,653
activities.

983
00:33:00,653 --> 00:33:01,353
As noted earlier, general fund

984
00:33:01,353 --> 00:33:03,753
expenditures are projected to

985
00:33:05,958 --> 00:33:06,392
in the fiscal year 12.2 million

986
00:33:06,392 --> 00:33:08,392
under budget.

987
00:33:10,696 --> 00:33:11,330
This is comprised of 28.7

988
00:33:11,330 --> 00:33:11,897
million in fringe and non

989
00:33:11,897 --> 00:33:13,897
personnel expenditures

990
00:33:15,501 --> 00:33:16,202
partially offset by an average

991
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:16,936
of 16.5 million in personnel

992
00:33:16,936 --> 00:33:17,536
expenditures for fringe and non

993
00:33:17,536 --> 00:33:19,536
personnel expenditures.

994
00:33:21,808 --> 00:33:22,441
The largest savings included

995
00:33:22,441 --> 00:33:23,420
10.6 million in contracts

996
00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:25,442
primarily due to reduced

997
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,481
contributions to the public

998
00:33:28,481 --> 00:33:29,480
liability fund following

999
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:29,582
the receipt of onetime

1000
00:33:29,582 --> 00:33:31,582
insurance proceeds.

1001
00:33:32,685 --> 00:33:33,286
An updated claim denied claims

1002
00:33:33,286 --> 00:33:33,985
assumptions 5.5 million

1003
00:33:33,985 --> 00:33:34,653
transfers out primarily due to

1004
00:33:34,653 --> 00:33:37,653
reduced transfers to the San

1005
00:33:40,260 --> 00:33:40,693
Diego Regional Parks and

1006
00:33:40,693 --> 00:33:41,293
the Mission Bay Improvement

1007
00:33:41,293 --> 00:33:41,994
funds due to lower than

1008
00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:44,394
anticipated Mission Bay lease

1009
00:33:46,132 --> 00:33:46,732
revenues received by

1010
00:33:46,732 --> 00:33:47,433
the Economic Development

1011
00:33:47,433 --> 00:33:49,833
Department and 3.3 million in

1012
00:33:51,604 --> 00:33:52,304
information technology due to

1013
00:33:52,304 --> 00:33:52,972
lower non-discretionary costs

1014
00:33:52,972 --> 00:33:53,573
supported by available fund

1015
00:33:53,573 --> 00:33:54,173
balance and operational

1016
00:33:54,173 --> 00:33:56,173
efficiencies to generate

1017
00:33:57,777 --> 00:33:58,444
savings.

1018
00:33:58,444 --> 00:33:59,111
Additional savings across

1019
00:33:59,111 --> 00:33:59,679
remaining categories include

1020
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:02,790
reduced water costs in

1021
00:34:03,883 --> 00:34:04,584
the parks and Recreation

1022
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:05,151
Department due to intentional

1023
00:34:05,151 --> 00:34:07,151
conservation efforts.

1024
00:34:09,689 --> 00:34:10,456
Deferred Capital Debt Service

1025
00:34:10,456 --> 00:34:11,123
due to lower than anticipated

1026
00:34:11,123 --> 00:34:11,858
principal draws and reduced

1027
00:34:11,858 --> 00:34:14,258
principal and interest payments

1028
00:34:16,195 --> 00:34:16,729
related to the fire rescue

1029
00:34:16,729 --> 00:34:18,729
helicopter purchase.

1030
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:21,534
For personnel expenditures a

1031
00:34:21,534 --> 00:34:22,201
16.5 million overage if

1032
00:34:22,201 --> 00:34:22,836
compared to 15.5 million in

1033
00:34:22,836 --> 00:34:24,836
overtime primarily within

1034
00:34:26,672 --> 00:34:27,407
the public safety departments

1035
00:34:27,407 --> 00:34:28,740
which account for approximately

1036
00:34:28,740 --> 00:34:30,474
74.4% of the total increase.

1037
00:34:33,446 --> 00:34:34,113
This includes increases in fire

1038
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:34,814
rescue to maintain constant

1039
00:34:34,814 --> 00:34:37,814
staffing and police to support

1040
00:34:38,985 --> 00:34:39,619
reimbursable activities such as

1041
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:40,190
special events and parking

1042
00:34:40,190 --> 00:34:40,686
enforcement.

1043
00:34:40,686 --> 00:34:43,860
Additional overtime is also

1044
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:45,692
anticipated in

1045
00:34:45,692 --> 00:34:46,392
the transportation and parks

1046
00:34:46,392 --> 00:34:47,930
and recreation departments to

1047
00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:49,493
support emergency response and

1048
00:34:51,531 --> 00:34:52,198
call backs and to maintain

1049
00:34:52,198 --> 00:34:52,732
service levels during events

1050
00:34:52,732 --> 00:34:53,166
and seasonal demands

1051
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:55,166
respectively.

1052
00:34:57,270 --> 00:34:57,904
Detailed on this slide are

1053
00:34:57,904 --> 00:34:58,605
the changes that occurred

1054
00:34:58,605 --> 00:34:59,272
between the midyear and third

1055
00:34:59,272 --> 00:35:01,672
quarter reports compared to

1056
00:35:02,375 --> 00:35:03,900
the media report.

1057
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:03,677
Revenues are projected to

1058
00:35:03,677 --> 00:35:04,377
increase by 3 million while

1059
00:35:04,377 --> 00:35:06,777
expenditures are projected to

1060
00:35:08,114 --> 00:35:08,814
decrease by 15.4 million

1061
00:35:08,814 --> 00:35:11,814
resulting in a net improvement

1062
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:15,354
of 18.5 million for revenues.

1063
00:35:15,354 --> 00:35:16,560
The increase is primarily in

1064
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:16,689
departmental revenues and due

1065
00:35:16,689 --> 00:35:19,689
to efforts to identify and

1066
00:35:20,293 --> 00:35:20,927
maximize eligible

1067
00:35:20,927 --> 00:35:21,227
reimbursements from other

1068
00:35:21,227 --> 00:35:21,895
funds.

1069
00:35:21,895 --> 00:35:24,895
The four main major general

1070
00:35:26,699 --> 00:35:27,333
fund revenues also reflect an

1071
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:28,670
increase including higher

1072
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:28,768
franchise fee revenue following

1073
00:35:28,768 --> 00:35:32,368
the receipt of the annual acg

1074
00:35:32,372 --> 00:35:32,939
cleanup payment of FEBRUARY as

1075
00:35:32,939 --> 00:35:33,673
well as stronger than

1076
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:35,673
anticipated transient occupancy

1077
00:35:37,977 --> 00:35:38,344
tax and sales tax receipts

1078
00:35:38,344 --> 00:35:39,120
collected.

1079
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:39,713
These increases are largely

1080
00:35:39,713 --> 00:35:43,313
offset by a decrease in other

1081
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:44,751
major revenues primarily due to

1082
00:35:44,751 --> 00:35:45,485
decline in interest earnings

1083
00:35:45,485 --> 00:35:49,850
due to reduced cash balances on

1084
00:35:50,589 --> 00:35:51,291
the expenditures side, a 15.4

1085
00:35:51,291 --> 00:35:52,250
million decrease is primarily

1086
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:55,250
due to reduced contributions to

1087
00:35:56,797 --> 00:35:57,363
public liability fund following

1088
00:35:57,363 --> 00:35:58,310
the fund's receipt of

1089
00:35:58,310 --> 00:35:58,665
additional onetime insurance

1090
00:35:58,665 --> 00:36:01,665
proceeds as well as lower

1091
00:36:02,836 --> 00:36:03,503
nondiscretionary costs and

1092
00:36:03,503 --> 00:36:04,370
clean water and information

1093
00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:06,370
technology services.

1094
00:36:08,608 --> 00:36:09,209
These decreases are partially

1095
00:36:09,209 --> 00:36:09,843
offset by increases in

1096
00:36:09,843 --> 00:36:10,544
personnel costs, primarily

1097
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:13,544
public safety and fire rescue

1098
00:36:15,582 --> 00:36:16,182
To maintain confidence and

1099
00:36:16,182 --> 00:36:16,849
increase termination fee

1100
00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:19,849
primarily a belief based on

1101
00:36:21,210 --> 00:36:21,755
separations To date.

1102
00:36:21,755 --> 00:36:22,456
Here we have the general fund

1103
00:36:22,456 --> 00:36:23,890
balances and reserve estimates

1104
00:36:23,890 --> 00:36:23,490
based on the third quarter

1105
00:36:23,490 --> 00:36:25,490
projections.

1106
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:27,461
The projected available fund

1107
00:36:27,461 --> 00:36:27,794
balance or access equity is 1.7

1108
00:36:27,794 --> 00:36:29,794
million.

1109
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:32,465
The third quarter report does

1110
00:36:32,465 --> 00:36:33,100
not include any action items or

1111
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:35,100
for council consideration

1112
00:36:38,472 --> 00:36:39,172
regarding the use of this

1113
00:36:39,172 --> 00:36:41,908
balance nor is it proposed for

1114
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:42,609
use in the MAY revision to

1115
00:36:42,609 --> 00:36:43,343
the f y 27 draft budget.

1116
00:36:43,343 --> 00:36:46,343
This is primarily because while

1117
00:36:48,182 --> 00:36:48,716
a net positive position is

1118
00:36:48,716 --> 00:36:49,449
currently projected,

1119
00:36:49,449 --> 00:36:50,500
projections do remain sensitive

1120
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:52,450
to changes in underlying

1121
00:36:54,988 --> 00:36:55,722
assumptions projected revenues

1122
00:36:55,722 --> 00:36:56,390
or savings not materialized and

1123
00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:56,957
the city and the year with a

1124
00:36:56,957 --> 00:36:58,957
negative fund balance.

1125
00:37:00,527 --> 00:37:01,161
The city will need to draw upon

1126
00:37:01,161 --> 00:37:01,862
the General Fund Stability

1127
00:37:01,862 --> 00:37:04,862
Reserve to prevent a negative

1128
00:37:06,533 --> 00:37:06,833
year end budgetary fund balance

1129
00:37:06,833 --> 00:37:07,600
.

1130
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:08,200
This brings us to our requested

1131
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:08,602
authorities.

1132
00:37:08,602 --> 00:37:11,602
The first request is our

1133
00:37:12,939 --> 00:37:13,607
standard annual request as part

1134
00:37:13,607 --> 00:37:14,341
of the purposes which allows

1135
00:37:14,341 --> 00:37:14,942
appropriation transfers between

1136
00:37:14,942 --> 00:37:17,342
departments to close out

1137
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:19,790
the fiscal year in compliance

1138
00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:19,546
with the City Charter and

1139
00:37:19,546 --> 00:37:20,146
Municipal Code.

1140
00:37:20,146 --> 00:37:23,146
The second request is a

1141
00:37:24,417 --> 00:37:25,118
contingency authorization to

1142
00:37:25,118 --> 00:37:25,819
draw upon the facility reserve

1143
00:37:25,819 --> 00:37:30,190
if needed and an amount not to

1144
00:37:30,570 --> 00:37:30,724
exceed the level needed to

1145
00:37:30,724 --> 00:37:31,325
ensure the general fund ends

1146
00:37:31,325 --> 00:37:31,959
the fiscal year balance

1147
00:37:31,959 --> 00:37:33,959
consistent with applicable

1148
00:37:36,263 --> 00:37:36,896
financial reporting start

1149
00:37:36,896 --> 00:37:37,531
standards and guidance on

1150
00:37:37,531 --> 00:37:38,165
transparent disclosure of

1151
00:37:38,165 --> 00:37:40,565
general fund balances and

1152
00:37:41,836 --> 00:37:42,503
reserves.

1153
00:37:42,503 --> 00:37:43,203
Lastly, the following are

1154
00:37:43,203 --> 00:37:43,870
the recommended appropriation

1155
00:37:43,870 --> 00:37:46,270
adjustments for the General

1156
00:37:48,108 --> 00:37:48,742
Fund and select non general

1157
00:37:48,742 --> 00:37:49,430
funds based on identified

1158
00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:49,777
needs.

1159
00:37:49,777 --> 00:37:53,247
As noted there are savings from

1160
00:37:53,247 --> 00:37:53,880
the reduced contribution to

1161
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,448
the Public Liability fund.

1162
00:37:54,448 --> 00:37:55,820
Staff is recommending

1163
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:57,820

support.

1174
00:38:13,667 --> 00:38:16,670
We are also requesting

1175
00:38:17,771 --> 00:38:18,471
authority to increase

1176
00:38:18,471 --> 00:38:19,106

be of support.

1190
00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:42,730
To conclude the third quarter

1191
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:45,730
report projects a net positive

1192
00:38:46,566 --> 00:38:47,234
position of 1.7 million an

1193
00:38:47,234 --> 00:38:47,801
improvement of 18.5 million

1194
00:38:47,801 --> 00:38:50,201
from the Media Report.

1195
00:38:52,439 --> 00:38:53,174
Mitigation actions and other

1196
00:38:53,174 --> 00:38:53,741
positive developments have been

1197
00:38:53,741 --> 00:38:54,442
critical to improving

1198
00:38:54,442 --> 00:38:57,442
the general fund position and

1199
00:38:57,912 --> 00:38:58,680
will remain in effect in fiscal

1200
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,380
year end if actual results to

1201
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:00,810
differ materially from current

1202
00:39:00,810 --> 00:39:03,810
projections and result in year

1203
00:39:04,686 --> 00:39:05,453
end deficit.

1204
00:39:05,453 --> 00:39:06,187
The general fund would need to

1205
00:39:06,187 --> 00:39:06,787
draw upon the stability Reserve

1206
00:39:06,787 --> 00:39:07,121
to maintain the positive

1207
00:39:07,121 --> 00:39:09,121
balance.

1208
00:39:10,758 --> 00:39:11,359
The report outlined outlined

1209
00:39:11,359 --> 00:39:12,920
standard year and budget

1210
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,920
control authorities contingency

1211
00:39:17,298 --> 00:39:17,999
according to draw upon a

1212
00:39:17,999 --> 00:39:18,699
stability reserve if necessary

1213
00:39:18,699 --> 00:39:20,699
and appropriation adjustments.

1214
00:39:22,103 --> 00:39:22,770
The Department of Finance will

1215
00:39:22,770 --> 00:39:23,404
continue to monitor revenues

1216
00:39:23,404 --> 00:39:23,971
and expenditures and will

1217
00:39:23,971 --> 00:39:24,639
provide an update with

1218
00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:28,239
the release of the year end

1219
00:39:29,110 --> 00:39:29,744
financial performance report on

1220
00:39:29,744 --> 00:39:30,311
OCTOBER 7th of this year.

1221
00:39:30,311 --> 00:39:30,745
>> That concludes our

1222
00:39:30,745 --> 00:39:31,312
presentation.

1223
00:39:31,312 --> 00:39:31,679
Were available for any

1224
00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:33,679
questions.

1225
00:39:35,883 --> 00:39:36,584
All right.

1226
00:39:36,584 --> 00:39:37,180
Thank you for the presentation

1227
00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:37,585
and good work.

1228
00:39:37,585 --> 00:39:38,286
We'll turn it over to

1229
00:39:38,286 --> 00:39:38,586
the office of the rba Charles.

1230
00:39:38,586 --> 00:39:38,953
Great.

1231
00:39:38,953 --> 00:39:40,953
Thank you.

1232
00:39:41,222 --> 00:39:41,556
Council PRESIDENT Council

1233
00:39:41,556 --> 00:39:42,323
members.

1234
00:39:42,323 --> 00:39:45,923
On JUNE 2nd we released a

1235
00:39:46,561 --> 00:39:47,263
report 26 Dash 17 which is an

1236
00:39:47,263 --> 00:39:47,595
analysis of the third quarter

1237
00:39:47,595 --> 00:39:48,296
report.

1238
00:39:48,296 --> 00:39:48,996
My comments this morning will

1239
00:39:48,996 --> 00:39:49,664
be brief because Ben and Amber

1240
00:39:49,664 --> 00:39:52,640
already covered the numbers

1241
00:39:53,340 --> 00:39:53,701
well and by and large we

1242
00:39:53,701 --> 00:39:54,102
believe those numbers to be

1243
00:39:54,102 --> 00:39:54,769
reasonable.

1244
00:39:54,769 --> 00:39:57,238
It is worth noting that in

1245
00:39:57,238 --> 00:39:57,972
comparison to the first quarter

1246
00:39:57,972 --> 00:39:58,606
and mid-year reports, the third

1247
00:39:58,606 --> 00:39:59,240
quarter projection overall

1248
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,640
better fiscal position for

1249
00:40:03,211 --> 00:40:03,778
the city and there are fewer

1250
00:40:03,778 --> 00:40:04,479
major surprises in it.

1251
00:40:04,479 --> 00:40:05,179
However, there are a few items

1252
00:40:05,179 --> 00:40:08,179
that we believe are worth

1253
00:40:08,516 --> 00:40:09,216
flagging.

1254
00:40:09,216 --> 00:40:09,817
On the revenue side, total

1255
00:40:09,817 --> 00:40:10,451
general fund revenue was

1256
00:40:10,451 --> 00:40:12,451
roughly $6.8 million below

1257
00:40:14,689 --> 00:40:15,390
the adopted budget but $3

1258
00:40:15,390 --> 00:40:15,823
million above where we were at

1259
00:40:15,823 --> 00:40:16,490
the mid-year.

1260
00:40:16,490 --> 00:40:19,490
The four major general fund

1261
00:40:21,762 --> 00:40:22,463
revenue sources property tax

1262
00:40:22,463 --> 00:40:23,197
sales tax, franchise fees and

1263
00:40:23,197 --> 00:40:23,864
totty all showed better year in

1264
00:40:23,864 --> 00:40:26,864
projections than they did at

1265
00:40:27,702 --> 00:40:28,402
the mid-year although we note

1266
00:40:28,402 --> 00:40:29,370
that it is still projected to

1267
00:40:29,370 --> 00:40:32,370
end the year below budget

1268
00:40:32,873 --> 00:40:33,541
projections nearly equal to

1269
00:40:33,541 --> 00:40:34,242
actual fy 25 receipts and

1270
00:40:34,242 --> 00:40:36,642
provide additional updates to

1271
00:40:39,614 --> 00:40:40,314
our major general fund revenues

1272
00:40:40,314 --> 00:40:41,490
since the release of the third

1273
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:41,683
quarter specifically related to

1274
00:40:41,683 --> 00:40:41,983
property tax sales tax in

1275
00:40:41,983 --> 00:40:43,983
total.

1276
00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:45,720
I would just note that the fy

1277
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:46,421
27 budget recommendation from

1278
00:40:46,421 --> 00:40:47,122
my office that we will discuss

1279
00:40:47,122 --> 00:40:50,122
this afternoon already do take

1280
00:40:50,191 --> 00:40:50,891
those updates into account.

1281
00:40:50,891 --> 00:40:51,559
There are some potential risks

1282
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:54,559
for other non major general

1283
00:40:55,797 --> 00:40:56,531
fund revenues.

1284
00:40:56,531 --> 00:40:57,165
Interest earnings are projected

1285
00:40:57,165 --> 00:40:57,766
at-$11.1 million because

1286
00:40:57,766 --> 00:41:00,766
the general fund has not

1287
00:41:02,170 --> 00:41:02,837
maintained enough cash on hand

1288
00:41:02,837 --> 00:41:05,237
to receive interest income.

1289
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:07,609
This is a $16.6 million swing

1290
00:41:07,609 --> 00:41:08,309
from what was budgeted.

1291
00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:11,309
Parking meter revenue is also

1292
00:41:11,479 --> 00:41:12,213
coming in about $5 million

1293
00:41:12,213 --> 00:41:12,847
below the budget largely driven

1294
00:41:12,847 --> 00:41:13,548
by not implemented metered

1295
00:41:13,548 --> 00:41:17,148
parking on Sundays as well as

1296
00:41:17,386 --> 00:41:17,952
usage changes equipment cost

1297
00:41:17,952 --> 00:41:18,620
from meter expansion.

1298
00:41:18,620 --> 00:41:19,320
Finally we note the cannabis

1299
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,320
business tax is also slightly

1300
00:41:23,724 --> 00:41:24,326
underperforming down about $2.5

1301
00:41:24,326 --> 00:41:24,660
million from the adopted

1302
00:41:24,660 --> 00:41:26,660
budget.

1303
00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:29,731
The one largest risk associated

1304
00:41:29,731 --> 00:41:30,465
with the projections was

1305
00:41:30,465 --> 00:41:33,465
covered in the presentation and

1306
00:41:34,702 --> 00:41:35,337
that was $7.4 million

1307
00:41:35,337 --> 00:41:35,937
reimbursement from osa for

1308
00:41:35,937 --> 00:41:36,638
the JANUARY 2024 storms.

1309
00:41:36,638 --> 00:41:39,638
This reimbursement has not yet

1310
00:41:40,175 --> 00:41:41,900
been finalized.

1311
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:44,246
If it is not received by AUGUST

1312
00:41:44,246 --> 00:41:45,213
it would not count towards our

1313
00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:48,783
fy 2026 and that would push our

1314
00:41:48,783 --> 00:41:49,384
total revenue about $14 million

1315
00:41:49,384 --> 00:41:49,918
below what it was in

1316
00:41:49,918 --> 00:41:50,685
the adopted budget.

1317
00:41:50,685 --> 00:41:54,285
On the expenditure side we are

1318
00:41:55,957 --> 00:41:56,524
projecting about $8.5 million

1319
00:41:56,524 --> 00:41:57,580
in the savings versus

1320
00:41:57,580 --> 00:41:57,793
the adopted budget.

1321
00:41:57,793 --> 00:42:01,393
That is primarily driven by non

1322
00:42:01,596 --> 00:42:02,130
personal savings But we do

1323
00:42:02,130 --> 00:42:02,864
caution that some of

1324
00:42:02,864 --> 00:42:03,465
the assumptions associated with

1325
00:42:03,465 --> 00:42:05,865
savings MAY be slightly

1326
00:42:07,469 --> 00:42:08,136
optimistic in that they reflect

1327
00:42:08,136 --> 00:42:10,136
generally past historical

1328
00:42:14,176 --> 00:42:14,843
savings as opposed to savings

1329
00:42:14,843 --> 00:42:15,177
associated with any specific

1330
00:42:15,177 --> 00:42:15,810
action.

1331
00:42:15,810 --> 00:42:18,810
We also note that overtime

1332
00:42:19,748 --> 00:42:20,482
particularly in fire rescue and

1333
00:42:20,482 --> 00:42:21,182
transportation continues to run

1334
00:42:21,182 --> 00:42:21,683
above budget which has been a

1335
00:42:21,683 --> 00:42:23,683
persistent issue.

1336
00:42:25,453 --> 00:42:26,120
In general our overall

1337
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:26,822
recommendation is to approve

1338
00:42:26,822 --> 00:42:27,523
the appropriation adjustments

1339
00:42:27,523 --> 00:42:31,123
that are requested as well as

1340
00:42:31,693 --> 00:42:32,494
authorized use of the stability

1341
00:42:32,494 --> 00:42:33,161
reserve as a precaution And in

1342
00:42:33,161 --> 00:42:33,762
the meantime to keep a very

1343
00:42:33,762 --> 00:42:37,362
close eye on the Cal oas

1344
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:38,500
reimbursement between now and

1345
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:39,201
actual year end.

1346
00:42:39,201 --> 00:42:39,935
>> We will continue to monitor

1347
00:42:39,935 --> 00:42:40,502
and we will update this council

1348
00:42:40,502 --> 00:42:40,869
as necessary as well.

1349
00:42:40,869 --> 00:42:42,869
Thank you.

1350
00:42:44,339 --> 00:42:44,840
Council PRESIDENT.

1351
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:45,507
>> All right.

1352
00:42:45,507 --> 00:42:45,841
Thank you, John, as always.

1353
00:42:45,841 --> 00:42:46,441
Helpful.

1354
00:42:46,441 --> 00:42:47,109
With that, Clark, please

1355
00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:47,476
proceed with public comment.

1356
00:42:47,476 --> 00:42:49,476
Thank you.

1357
00:42:51,947 --> 00:42:52,614
Council PRESIDENT I would like

1358
00:42:52,614 --> 00:42:53,215
to know for the record that

1359
00:42:53,215 --> 00:42:53,916
the Titan receives your

1360
00:42:53,916 --> 00:42:54,650
comments of everyone coming in

1361
00:42:54,650 --> 00:42:55,350
opposition of your comment form

1362
00:42:55,350 --> 00:42:56,918
which have been distributed to

1363
00:42:56,918 --> 00:42:57,753
the Council.

1364
00:42:57,753 --> 00:42:58,454
We have Joyce in Noda and Mike

1365
00:42:58,454 --> 00:42:58,754
Schmidt here to speak on this

1366
00:42:58,754 --> 00:42:59,455
item.

1367
00:42:59,455 --> 00:43:00,550
Joy, if you can please come up

1368
00:43:00,550 --> 00:43:00,789
to the podium.

1369
00:43:00,789 --> 00:43:01,757
>> You'll be our first speaker

1370
00:43:01,757 --> 00:43:05,957
and you'll have a minute and a

1371
00:43:06,395 --> 00:43:07,329
half.

1372
00:43:07,329 --> 00:43:08,290
First of all, I want to say

1373
00:43:08,290 --> 00:43:10,429
good morning to all

1374
00:43:12,101 --> 00:43:12,701
the departments that are

1375
00:43:12,701 --> 00:43:13,135
available for questions.

1376
00:43:13,135 --> 00:43:15,135
That's great.

1377
00:43:18,730 --> 00:43:18,674
Okay.

1378
00:43:18,674 --> 00:43:19,174
A positive position for

1379
00:43:19,174 --> 00:43:21,174
the general fund.

1380
00:43:24,460 --> 00:43:24,813
That's music to my ears.

1381
00:43:24,813 --> 00:43:28,413
Yet targets are going up and

1382
00:43:29,885 --> 00:43:30,552
down so there's still a lot of

1383
00:43:30,552 --> 00:43:33,552
uncertainty And it's just so

1384
00:43:36,626 --> 00:43:36,926
hard for us to really deal with

1385
00:43:36,926 --> 00:43:37,493
that.

1386
00:43:37,493 --> 00:43:39,893
But we're doing good.

1387
00:43:41,163 --> 00:43:41,530
So I didn't hear even one

1388
00:43:41,530 --> 00:43:42,264
sentence.

1389
00:43:42,264 --> 00:43:45,264
I didn't even hear anything

1390
00:43:46,902 --> 00:43:47,236
about the structural budget

1391
00:43:47,236 --> 00:43:47,936
deficit.

1392
00:43:47,936 --> 00:43:50,936
So maybe it wasn't appropriate

1393
00:43:52,708 --> 00:43:53,175
to include in this third third

1394
00:43:53,175 --> 00:43:55,175
quarter report.

1395
00:43:59,140 --> 00:43:59,882
At the same time it's there and

1396
00:43:59,882 --> 00:44:00,315
we've got to got to got to

1397
00:44:00,315 --> 00:44:02,315
listen to it.

1398
00:44:05,254 --> 00:44:05,955
So aba.

1399
00:44:05,955 --> 00:44:08,355
Charles Monaco, good morning.

1400
00:44:10,926 --> 00:44:11,627
In your report you talked about

1401
00:44:11,627 --> 00:44:12,328
the reserves as they relate to

1402
00:44:12,328 --> 00:44:14,728
the structural budget deficit

1403
00:44:16,565 --> 00:44:17,299
And I think you said that we're

1404
00:44:17,299 --> 00:44:17,900
going to have some information

1405
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:18,534
on that this afternoon.

1406
00:44:18,534 --> 00:44:22,134
I hope so because I don't

1407
00:44:22,571 --> 00:44:23,372
understand it.

1408
00:44:23,372 --> 00:44:24,500
But apparently it's very, very

1409
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:24,472
critical to our structural

1410
00:44:24,472 --> 00:44:26,472
budget deficit.

1411
00:44:28,878 --> 00:44:29,512
So I won't have time to do what

1412
00:44:29,512 --> 00:44:30,179
else I wanted to do But

1413
00:44:30,179 --> 00:44:32,579
Department of Finance you're

1414
00:44:35,170 --> 00:44:35,718
doing a great job.

1415
00:44:35,718 --> 00:44:36,386
You said this wonderful

1416
00:44:36,386 --> 00:44:37,860
statement a month or two ago

1417
00:44:37,860 --> 00:44:38,988
about the structural deficit.

1418
00:44:38,988 --> 00:44:39,321
Thank you for that concluding

1419
00:44:39,321 --> 00:44:41,321
comment.

1420
00:44:46,270 --> 00:44:46,496
>> Management just come to

1421
00:44:46,496 --> 00:44:48,163
the microphone.

1422
00:44:48,163 --> 00:44:52,363
You have a minute and a half.

1423
00:44:55,380 --> 00:44:55,938
>> The total revenue.

1424
00:44:55,938 --> 00:44:56,672
>> This is just an opportunity

1425
00:44:56,672 --> 00:45:00,272
for you to make your comments

1426
00:45:00,543 --> 00:45:01,243
okay On I believe the total

1427
00:45:01,243 --> 00:45:01,944
revenue for the third quarter

1428
00:45:01,944 --> 00:45:05,544
budget was in the hundreds of

1429
00:45:06,749 --> 00:45:07,517
millions if I'm correct.

1430
00:45:07,517 --> 00:45:07,884
Is that correct or like some

1431
00:45:07,884 --> 00:45:08,584
indicator?

1432
00:45:08,584 --> 00:45:11,584
Anyway on property tax sales

1433
00:45:13,189 --> 00:45:13,890
tax and cannabis tax is theft.

1434
00:45:13,890 --> 00:45:16,890
This I do not trust

1435
00:45:18,494 --> 00:45:19,295
the integrity of city council

1436
00:45:19,295 --> 00:45:20,620
to be taking my money for

1437
00:45:20,620 --> 00:45:23,620
property sales tax and cannabis

1438
00:45:25,334 --> 00:45:25,735
tax when they don't care about

1439
00:45:25,735 --> 00:45:26,436
the people.

1440
00:45:26,436 --> 00:45:27,136
If they cared about the people

1441
00:45:27,136 --> 00:45:30,736
they would be torturing me and

1442
00:45:30,907 --> 00:45:31,641
linguistically and then

1443
00:45:31,641 --> 00:45:32,308
mumbling We're going to 5150 If

1444
00:45:32,308 --> 00:45:35,908
you talk about it all during

1445
00:45:36,612 --> 00:45:36,913
your public agenda comment time

1446
00:45:36,913 --> 00:45:37,647
.

1447
00:45:37,647 --> 00:45:38,548
So these people are communist.

1448
00:45:38,548 --> 00:45:42,180
These people's only goal is to

1449
00:45:42,180 --> 00:45:42,818
create a one world government.

1450
00:45:42,818 --> 00:45:43,519
If they can do that by having

1451
00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:46,519
more legal immigrants, if they

1452
00:45:48,491 --> 00:45:49,158
can do that by making more poor

1453
00:45:49,158 --> 00:45:49,859
people homeless and killing

1454
00:45:49,859 --> 00:45:50,393
them off when they're homeless

1455
00:45:50,393 --> 00:45:52,793
and mind control and

1456
00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:54,797
depopulating the country of

1457
00:45:54,797 --> 00:45:55,431
patriots like they're trying to

1458
00:45:55,431 --> 00:45:56,132
depopulate me for being a

1459
00:45:56,132 --> 00:45:58,532
patriot whatever whatever they

1460
00:45:59,436 --> 00:46:00,269
can do.

1461
00:46:00,269 --> 00:46:00,903
These people do not care about

1462
00:46:00,903 --> 00:46:01,604
human rights If they cared

1463
00:46:01,604 --> 00:46:05,204
about people and the people of

1464
00:46:06,242 --> 00:46:06,810
San Diego and human rights why

1465
00:46:06,810 --> 00:46:07,544
would they be nervous

1466
00:46:07,544 --> 00:46:08,278
linguistically torturing me and

1467
00:46:08,278 --> 00:46:11,278
then saying we're going to 5150

1468
00:46:11,381 --> 00:46:12,810
You threatening me?

1469
00:46:12,810 --> 00:46:12,982
It's absolutely disgusting.

1470
00:46:12,982 --> 00:46:17,182
I just wanted to say down with

1471
00:46:18,188 --> 00:46:18,588
the court, down with

1472
00:46:18,588 --> 00:46:20,588
Freemasonry.

1473
00:46:23,193 --> 00:46:23,960
I'm not crazy And you know

1474
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:24,694
you're all guilty and how dare

1475
00:46:24,694 --> 00:46:25,261
you treat me like this in a

1476
00:46:25,261 --> 00:46:27,261
city council meeting?

1477
00:46:30,367 --> 00:46:31,000
How dare you attack the time

1478
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,402
Minute time again of those

1479
00:46:32,402 --> 00:46:32,802
participating remotely starting

1480
00:46:32,802 --> 00:46:34,802
with Hector.

1481
00:46:39,276 --> 00:46:39,909
>> If you can please unmute.

1482
00:46:39,909 --> 00:46:40,577
>> Whatever mental health

1483
00:46:40,577 --> 00:46:43,577
system we have that's that's

1484
00:46:44,814 --> 00:46:45,548
how it's looking Now.

1485
00:46:45,548 --> 00:46:46,282
So the mental mental health

1486
00:46:46,282 --> 00:46:47,170
system is just this is probably

1487
00:46:47,170 --> 00:46:50,617
more crazy than the people that

1488
00:46:51,154 --> 00:46:51,821
are really suffering from

1489
00:46:51,821 --> 00:46:52,489
mental health, you know and

1490
00:46:52,489 --> 00:46:54,889
there's a difference between

1491
00:46:57,260 --> 00:46:57,861
schizophrenic and organic brain

1492
00:46:57,861 --> 00:47:00,261
disease or organic brain

1493
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:04,668
disease You do drugs and fries

1494
00:47:04,668 --> 00:47:05,435
your brain if you did it there

1495
00:47:05,435 --> 00:47:08,435
are people that just have

1496
00:47:09,506 --> 00:47:10,400
schizophrenia out of nowhere,

1497
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:10,507
that kind of thing.

1498
00:47:10,507 --> 00:47:12,507
It just happens.

1499
00:47:14,644 --> 00:47:15,378
So anyway, let's focus on when

1500
00:47:15,378 --> 00:47:18,978
you do the financial stuff make

1501
00:47:20,884 --> 00:47:21,685
it simple Like yesterday we

1502
00:47:21,685 --> 00:47:25,885
took out a loan to pay our

1503
00:47:27,570 --> 00:47:27,724
short term bills and it what

1504
00:47:27,724 --> 00:47:28,425
really wasn't explained like

1505
00:47:28,425 --> 00:47:30,894
it's going to cost us we're

1506
00:47:30,894 --> 00:47:31,695
taking out 1330 million

1507
00:47:31,695 --> 00:47:32,396
whatever it was how much is it

1508
00:47:32,396 --> 00:47:36,596
going to cost us over a year

1509
00:47:36,933 --> 00:47:37,633
Just plain and simple.

1510
00:47:37,633 --> 00:47:38,301
It's like borrowing money from

1511
00:47:38,301 --> 00:47:38,635
your dad I'm going to borrow

1512
00:47:38,635 --> 00:47:40,635
50,000.

1513
00:47:42,873 --> 00:47:43,640
It's going to cost I'm going to

1514
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,240
pay him back 60,000 over a year

1515
00:47:48,845 --> 00:47:49,179
If I don't pay him back, what

1516
00:47:49,179 --> 00:47:49,913
happens?

1517
00:47:49,913 --> 00:47:53,513
You know that's the city's keep

1518
00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:54,852
it more just a clear

1519
00:47:54,852 --> 00:47:55,318
interpretation of what's going

1520
00:47:55,318 --> 00:47:55,886
on financially.

1521
00:47:55,886 --> 00:47:58,286
But anyway, good luck.

1522
00:48:02,492 --> 00:48:02,993
Goodbye.

1523
00:48:02,993 --> 00:48:03,793
>> Thank you.

1524
00:48:03,793 --> 00:48:04,461
Next is Blair be kind of become

1525
00:48:04,461 --> 00:48:07,798
please on you after that is

1526
00:48:07,798 --> 00:48:08,265
Leonard all right.

1527
00:48:08,265 --> 00:48:08,766
Thank you.

1528
00:48:08,766 --> 00:48:09,660
We'll be friends.

1529
00:48:09,660 --> 00:48:10,000
Yeah.

1530
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,360
I think the best way to address

1531
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:13,637
schizophrenia is through direct

1532
00:48:13,637 --> 00:48:15,637
conversation and dialog.

1533
00:48:19,176 --> 00:48:19,909
People fall through the cracks

1534
00:48:19,909 --> 00:48:20,544
through honesty and direct, you

1535
00:48:20,544 --> 00:48:23,544
know, caring dialog that I

1536
00:48:24,616 --> 00:48:25,349
think really heals a lot of

1537
00:48:25,349 --> 00:48:26,160
issues with our government too.

1538
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:26,717
I think we're all trying to

1539
00:48:26,717 --> 00:48:30,317
work harder to build a better

1540
00:48:30,387 --> 00:48:30,787
government community and

1541
00:48:30,787 --> 00:48:31,488
bureaucracy.

1542
00:48:31,488 --> 00:48:32,189
We do have bad patterns and we

1543
00:48:32,189 --> 00:48:32,489
want to address them good like

1544
00:48:32,489 --> 00:48:34,489
that.

1545
00:48:36,393 --> 00:48:36,994
We all are trying to address

1546
00:48:36,994 --> 00:48:37,661
our bad patterns now and

1547
00:48:37,661 --> 00:48:40,661
improve upon them and that's

1548
00:48:42,399 --> 00:48:43,100
working together and I hope we

1549
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:43,800
are finding answers with this

1550
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,671
item you know to offer try to

1551
00:48:47,671 --> 00:48:48,439
offer some just healing advice

1552
00:48:48,439 --> 00:48:51,439
that Charles Monaco has stated

1553
00:48:53,711 --> 00:48:54,412
continuously If we don't have

1554
00:48:54,412 --> 00:48:54,845
revenue sources we're going to

1555
00:48:54,845 --> 00:48:55,546
be in trouble.

1556
00:48:55,546 --> 00:48:59,146
I've learned you know that you

1557
00:49:00,217 --> 00:49:00,851
know all the cities I've been

1558
00:49:00,851 --> 00:49:01,552
talking about Oakland, San

1559
00:49:01,552 --> 00:49:02,253
Francisco, L.A. They all have

1560
00:49:02,253 --> 00:49:04,653
significant revenue sources so

1561
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:06,724
they can stave off the deficit

1562
00:49:06,724 --> 00:49:09,724
concerns they have over a

1563
00:49:12,296 --> 00:49:13,630
longer period of time.

1564
00:49:13,630 --> 00:49:13,364
We don't have that in San

1565
00:49:13,364 --> 00:49:14,310
Diego.

1566
00:49:14,310 --> 00:49:14,732
It sounds like this item you

1567
00:49:14,732 --> 00:49:18,332
guys are living you know, just

1568
00:49:18,336 --> 00:49:18,936
like by, you know, skin your

1569
00:49:18,936 --> 00:49:19,703
teeth to get through it.

1570
00:49:19,703 --> 00:49:23,303
So thank you for the efforts

1571
00:49:23,941 --> 00:49:24,542
you're doing.

1572
00:49:24,542 --> 00:49:25,276
You know, I'm really

1573
00:49:25,276 --> 00:49:28,276
disappointed that, you know, we

1574
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:30,414
can't I really hope we can have

1575
00:49:30,414 --> 00:49:31,820
conversations about revenue and

1576
00:49:31,820 --> 00:49:33,482
the people really understand

1577
00:49:36,253 --> 00:49:37,210
that we can't just cut services

1578
00:49:37,210 --> 00:49:37,421
in order to create our future

1579
00:49:37,421 --> 00:49:37,855
government.

1580
00:49:37,855 --> 00:49:38,522
>> Thank you.

1581
00:49:38,522 --> 00:49:42,122
Thank you Leonard if you can

1582
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:48,889
please on you are Yes and hear

1583
00:49:48,889 --> 00:49:49,133
me.

1584
00:49:49,133 --> 00:49:49,599
Yes.

1585
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:49,967
Please proceed.

1586
00:49:49,967 --> 00:49:50,801
All right.

1587
00:49:50,801 --> 00:49:55,100
I've worked for the city of San

1588
00:49:55,390 --> 00:49:55,639
Diego for 25 years nine years

1589
00:49:55,639 --> 00:49:56,600
with their environmental

1590
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,600
services.

1591
00:50:01,245 --> 00:50:01,679
The Cost of service report is

1592
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:02,413
deeply flawed.

1593
00:50:02,413 --> 00:50:03,470
The culture of woman workers on

1594
00:50:03,470 --> 00:50:05,849
point with the trash bins

1595
00:50:05,849 --> 00:50:08,849
easily could have purchased a

1596
00:50:10,388 --> 00:50:11,880
$2 rfid and retrofitted 200,000

1597
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:11,489
green, blue and black beans to

1598
00:50:11,489 --> 00:50:13,489
save money.

1599
00:50:17,595 --> 00:50:18,362
The amount of new black and

1600
00:50:18,362 --> 00:50:21,362
blue green green cards were

1601
00:50:22,900 --> 00:50:23,401
ground and recycled and it was

1602
00:50:23,401 --> 00:50:24,101
a waste of money.

1603
00:50:24,101 --> 00:50:27,701
The epa has committed the sin

1604
00:50:28,506 --> 00:50:29,373
of oversaturated trash bins by

1605
00:50:29,373 --> 00:50:32,373
selling them for $75 when they

1606
00:50:33,544 --> 00:50:35,544
actually cost 45.

1607
00:50:37,682 --> 00:50:37,982
Who made the $30 on 300,000

1608
00:50:37,982 --> 00:50:38,683
beans?

1609
00:50:38,683 --> 00:50:39,383
I witnessed court proceedings

1610
00:50:39,383 --> 00:50:39,917
attorneys for the city of San

1611
00:50:39,917 --> 00:50:42,317
Diego They were very

1612
00:50:45,220 --> 00:50:45,890
incompetent witnesses.

1613
00:50:45,890 --> 00:50:48,890
I believe Again she represented

1614
00:50:49,861 --> 00:50:50,461
the general community in grand

1615
00:50:50,461 --> 00:50:51,960
fashion Judge Oliver for

1616
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,496
hearing the case couldn't

1617
00:50:56,333 --> 00:50:57,350
afford the city attorney's

1618
00:50:57,350 --> 00:50:57,635
expert witness was a waste of

1619
00:50:57,635 --> 00:50:58,369
taxpayers money Bringing

1620
00:50:58,369 --> 00:51:01,969
the people from Fresno that are

1621
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,440
in San Diego was a disaster.

1622
00:51:08,379 --> 00:51:09,800
Hdr Hilton and John Paul two

1623
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,800
consultants for the of service

1624
00:51:14,352 --> 00:51:15,219
study robbed and raped the city

1625
00:51:15,219 --> 00:51:18,819
for $7 million You want to make

1626
00:51:20,792 --> 00:51:21,292
money back charge or make money

1627
00:51:21,292 --> 00:51:21,859
off the recycling?

1628
00:51:21,859 --> 00:51:22,460
>> Thank you for that

1629
00:51:22,460 --> 00:51:23,127
concluding comment That

1630
00:51:23,127 --> 00:51:23,428
concludes with a comment on

1631
00:51:23,428 --> 00:51:25,428
this.

1632
00:51:26,531 --> 00:51:27,131
I don't Thank you.

1633
00:51:27,131 --> 00:51:27,832
Council PRESIDENT Right.

1634
00:51:27,832 --> 00:51:28,499
Thank you City Clerk And with

1635
00:51:28,499 --> 00:51:29,133
that will turn it over to my

1636
00:51:29,133 --> 00:51:31,269
council colleagues for any

1637
00:51:31,269 --> 00:51:32,700
questions, comments and

1638
00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:32,670
entertain a motion And we'll

1639
00:51:32,670 --> 00:51:33,338
start with the Chair of

1640
00:51:33,338 --> 00:51:35,738
the Budget Committee Council

1641
00:51:37,108 --> 00:51:37,842
member foster Oh oh yes.

1642
00:51:37,842 --> 00:51:40,842
Thank you Council PRESIDENT And

1643
00:51:43,748 --> 00:51:47,348
thank you to Rolando, you and

1644
00:51:49,387 --> 00:51:50,354
your team and also to the ipa.

1645
00:51:50,354 --> 00:51:52,157
I think there is positive news

1646
00:51:52,157 --> 00:51:55,757
that potentially we can have a

1647
00:51:58,930 --> 00:51:59,264
$1.7 million some excess

1648
00:51:59,264 --> 00:52:00,980
equity.

1649
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:04,298
Can you just kind of fill in

1650
00:52:04,636 --> 00:52:05,300
some of the blanks on the Cal?

1651
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:05,770
Oh yes.

1652
00:52:05,770 --> 00:52:09,370
And what that I guess what

1653
00:52:10,208 --> 00:52:10,909
the issues are delays have we

1654
00:52:10,909 --> 00:52:11,610
met our requirements provided

1655
00:52:11,610 --> 00:52:12,310
all the information they have

1656
00:52:12,310 --> 00:52:15,910
what they need We crossed our

1657
00:52:16,247 --> 00:52:17,115
t's dotted our eyes.

1658
00:52:17,115 --> 00:52:17,882
Can you kind of shed some light

1659
00:52:17,882 --> 00:52:20,882
and elaborate on that process

1660
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:22,887
and why it's so difficult to

1661
00:52:22,887 --> 00:52:23,287
get the reimbursement?

1662
00:52:23,287 --> 00:52:23,889
Absolutely.

1663
00:52:23,889 --> 00:52:26,289
Thanks for the question,

1664
00:52:28,226 --> 00:52:29,294
Councilmember.

1665
00:52:29,294 --> 00:52:33,494
So my department as well as our

1666
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:35,834
oas Department has been meeting

1667
00:52:35,834 --> 00:52:36,168
with oas over the last six

1668
00:52:36,168 --> 00:52:38,168
months.

1669
00:52:39,804 --> 00:52:40,538
We first met with them in

1670
00:52:40,538 --> 00:52:41,239
DECEMBER to get a status update

1671
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:41,540
on how their review is coming

1672
00:52:41,540 --> 00:52:43,540
along.

1673
00:52:45,877 --> 00:52:46,511
It's coming along very, very

1674
00:52:46,511 --> 00:52:46,844
slowly as you can imagine.

1675
00:52:46,844 --> 00:52:47,479
Oh, yes.

1676
00:52:47,479 --> 00:52:50,479
Has many, many, you know,

1677
00:52:51,349 --> 00:52:51,917
jurisdictions that they're

1678
00:52:51,917 --> 00:52:54,317
working on right now.

1679
00:52:57,956 --> 00:52:58,623
At that time the estimate for

1680
00:52:58,623 --> 00:52:59,258
the current fiscal year was

1681
00:52:59,258 --> 00:53:01,658
about 7.4 million is what

1682
00:53:03,495 --> 00:53:04,162
the city would receive related

1683
00:53:04,162 --> 00:53:06,562
to the JANUARY 2024 storms.

1684
00:53:09,902 --> 00:53:10,502
We recently met with them over

1685
00:53:10,502 --> 00:53:11,203
the last month or so.

1686
00:53:11,203 --> 00:53:13,603
They're still working through

1687
00:53:14,306 --> 00:53:15,730
that now To date the city has

1688
00:53:15,730 --> 00:53:15,573
received about 30 or 40,000 of

1689
00:53:15,573 --> 00:53:17,573
that 7.4 million.

1690
00:53:20,579 --> 00:53:21,346
We're hopeful that a majority

1691
00:53:21,346 --> 00:53:25,546
of that will come in this year.

1692
00:53:26,318 --> 00:53:27,186
However, it MAY be that that

1693
00:53:27,186 --> 00:53:27,586
full 7.4 will not come in this

1694
00:53:27,586 --> 00:53:28,453
fiscal year.

1695
00:53:28,453 --> 00:53:32,653
We do have until AUGUST of this

1696
00:53:32,891 --> 00:53:33,559
year to be able to crew

1697
00:53:33,559 --> 00:53:33,826
anything that comes in at fy

1698
00:53:33,826 --> 00:53:34,593
26.

1699
00:53:34,593 --> 00:53:38,793
If it isn't if it doesn't come

1700
00:53:38,931 --> 00:53:39,531
in by AUGUST, the revenue will

1701
00:53:39,531 --> 00:53:40,399
then be brought to 2027.

1702
00:53:40,399 --> 00:53:43,999
But we are working very closely

1703
00:53:45,404 --> 00:53:46,104
with oas getting regular status

1704
00:53:46,104 --> 00:53:46,772
updates from them and our own

1705
00:53:46,772 --> 00:53:49,772
staff, our work, our meeting

1706
00:53:51,243 --> 00:53:51,944
with them weekly to get updates

1707
00:53:51,944 --> 00:53:52,611
and the city has provided all

1708
00:53:52,611 --> 00:53:55,611
the information to yes that

1709
00:53:56,214 --> 00:53:56,515
they have requested today.

1710
00:53:56,515 --> 00:53:58,515
Okay.

1711
00:54:03,556 --> 00:54:04,289
Thank you for that And just so

1712
00:54:04,289 --> 00:54:04,957
I'm clear, Charles, you kind of

1713
00:54:04,957 --> 00:54:07,357
in just casual conversation

1714
00:54:09,695 --> 00:54:10,362
kind of said separately the 10

1715
00:54:10,362 --> 00:54:11,630
million is the number Is it

1716
00:54:11,630 --> 00:54:14,630
the hard number 7.4 million or

1717
00:54:15,330 --> 00:54:15,768
is there things that are kind

1718
00:54:15,768 --> 00:54:16,468
of being discussed And that's a

1719
00:54:16,468 --> 00:54:18,868
conservative estimate of what

1720
00:54:19,338 --> 00:54:20,139
we're receiving.

1721
00:54:20,139 --> 00:54:20,805
7.4 is the current estimate.

1722
00:54:20,805 --> 00:54:24,405
I think the 10 million or so

1723
00:54:25,611 --> 00:54:26,278
was what was submitted and we

1724
00:54:26,278 --> 00:54:27,790
get a percentage of that I

1725
00:54:27,790 --> 00:54:30,790
think it's 70 or 80% of that

1726
00:54:31,583 --> 00:54:31,884
total amount If approved.

1727
00:54:31,884 --> 00:54:32,718
Okay.

1728
00:54:32,718 --> 00:54:33,386
And how does that make us I

1729
00:54:33,386 --> 00:54:35,786
guess that's 7.4 million in

1730
00:54:37,189 --> 00:54:37,790
regards to making us whole on

1731
00:54:37,790 --> 00:54:40,190
what would were eligible

1732
00:54:43,262 --> 00:54:43,963
reimbursements I guess you're

1733
00:54:43,963 --> 00:54:44,630
comfortable We covered what we

1734
00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:45,196
needed to cover and included

1735
00:54:45,196 --> 00:54:47,596
what we could include.

1736
00:54:49,201 --> 00:54:49,835
Yeah it's if everything was

1737
00:54:49,835 --> 00:54:50,569
approved that we submitted

1738
00:54:50,569 --> 00:54:53,569
that's about a 70% support from

1739
00:54:55,174 --> 00:54:55,474
them.

1740
00:54:55,474 --> 00:54:55,841
Okay.

1741
00:54:55,841 --> 00:54:56,242
All right.

1742
00:54:56,242 --> 00:54:56,942
Thank you.

1743
00:54:56,942 --> 00:54:59,942
You know, every dollar counts.

1744
00:55:01,714 --> 00:55:02,415
Everything's important at this

1745
00:55:02,415 --> 00:55:02,748
point so please keep all of us

1746
00:55:02,748 --> 00:55:03,449
updated.

1747
00:55:03,449 --> 00:55:07,286
I guess it's also good to see

1748
00:55:07,286 --> 00:55:07,987
that we had the modest

1749
00:55:07,987 --> 00:55:08,654
improvements with the property

1750
00:55:08,654 --> 00:55:11,654
tax sales tax franchise fee.

1751
00:55:13,292 --> 00:55:13,926
I think, you know, at the same

1752
00:55:13,926 --> 00:55:14,593
time, you know, with the I

1753
00:55:14,593 --> 00:55:17,593
guess small margins when it

1754
00:55:18,731 --> 00:55:19,165
comes to our operations, I

1755
00:55:19,165 --> 00:55:19,966
think as MS..

1756
00:55:19,966 --> 00:55:22,966
Joy indicated, this deficit is

1757
00:55:24,804 --> 00:55:25,571
still glaring at us.

1758
00:55:25,571 --> 00:55:29,171
Clearing out is every time we

1759
00:55:30,276 --> 00:55:30,977
have a budget conversation I

1760
00:55:30,977 --> 00:55:31,677
think it's important that we

1761
00:55:31,677 --> 00:55:35,277
continue to focus on that long

1762
00:55:36,649 --> 00:55:37,416
term or long term solutions.

1763
00:55:37,416 --> 00:55:37,984
I think it's going to continue

1764
00:55:37,984 --> 00:55:38,684
to have to take robust

1765
00:55:38,684 --> 00:55:41,684
conversations by this body as

1766
00:55:42,321 --> 00:55:43,890
we continue to move forward

1767
00:55:43,890 --> 00:55:43,723
even as we look at you know,

1768
00:55:43,723 --> 00:55:46,123
we'll have further budget

1769
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:48,327
deliberations later this

1770
00:55:48,327 --> 00:55:49,280
afternoon.

1771
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,280
But even with the recent

1772
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:54,900
settlements as we move forward

1773
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:57,900
and we talk about certainty

1774
00:56:00,173 --> 00:56:00,940
versus uncertainty, right.

1775
00:56:00,940 --> 00:56:01,540
We're adding you know, every

1776
00:56:01,540 --> 00:56:02,241
decision we make has an

1777
00:56:02,241 --> 00:56:04,641
implication And that decision

1778
00:56:05,912 --> 00:56:06,679
we just made does some things

1779
00:56:06,679 --> 00:56:10,879
we do have to consider as we

1780
00:56:11,417 --> 00:56:11,951
look at the long term

1781
00:56:11,951 --> 00:56:12,618
structural deficit.

1782
00:56:12,618 --> 00:56:12,919
So thank you for the work on

1783
00:56:12,919 --> 00:56:14,919
this.

1784
00:56:17,590 --> 00:56:18,157
I will conclude my comments

1785
00:56:18,157 --> 00:56:18,625
there and move staff's

1786
00:56:18,625 --> 00:56:19,580
recommendation.

1787
00:56:19,580 --> 00:56:19,526
>> All right.

1788
00:56:19,526 --> 00:56:21,526
Thank you, sir.

1789
00:56:24,364 --> 00:56:25,980
We have a motion by Council

1790
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:25,565
member Foster to move the staff

1791
00:56:25,565 --> 00:56:26,299
recommendation.

1792
00:56:26,299 --> 00:56:26,633
We'll go next to Council member

1793
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:28,633
Marino.

1794
00:56:30,169 --> 00:56:30,970
Thank you for the presentation

1795
00:56:30,970 --> 00:56:31,671
and also thank you to

1796
00:56:31,671 --> 00:56:32,338
the partners to the Department

1797
00:56:32,338 --> 00:56:35,938
of Finance for all your work

1798
00:56:36,709 --> 00:56:37,443
this quarter report I think

1799
00:56:37,443 --> 00:56:38,177
does a good job of presenting

1800
00:56:38,177 --> 00:56:41,777
the state of the current year's

1801
00:56:42,816 --> 00:56:43,449
budget which is challenging as

1802
00:56:43,449 --> 00:56:44,500
you must utilize the most

1803
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:44,716
recent revenue data and

1804
00:56:44,716 --> 00:56:47,716
projects through the end of

1805
00:56:48,654 --> 00:56:49,689
the year.

1806
00:56:49,689 --> 00:56:50,289
I do want to put on record that

1807
00:56:50,289 --> 00:56:52,289
utilizing the stability

1808
00:56:54,827 --> 00:56:55,495
reserves is something that

1809
00:56:55,495 --> 00:56:55,828
should be the absolute last

1810
00:56:55,828 --> 00:56:56,629
resort.

1811
00:56:56,629 --> 00:57:00,229
I know that the Department of

1812
00:57:01,568 --> 00:57:02,102
Finance certainly recognizes

1813
00:57:02,102 --> 00:57:02,735
this and could that

1814
00:57:02,735 --> 00:57:05,135
the Department of Finance

1815
00:57:06,906 --> 00:57:07,607
outlined the process The city

1816
00:57:07,607 --> 00:57:08,141
would follow to access reserve

1817
00:57:08,141 --> 00:57:10,141
funds if necessary?

1818
00:57:13,179 --> 00:57:13,947
>> Absolutely.

1819
00:57:13,947 --> 00:57:14,647
So if this council were to

1820
00:57:14,647 --> 00:57:17,647
grant the approval to utilize

1821
00:57:19,352 --> 00:57:20,120
the stability reserve if needed

1822
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:20,820
as we're closing out the fiscal

1823
00:57:20,820 --> 00:57:23,820
year fiscal year 2026, if we

1824
00:57:25,358 --> 00:57:26,580
identify that we have a deficit

1825
00:57:26,580 --> 00:57:29,658
and we'll know in the AUGUST

1826
00:57:31,231 --> 00:57:31,965
SEPTEMBER timeframe as we're

1827
00:57:31,965 --> 00:57:32,666
closing the books, we will then

1828
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:35,666
utilize the reserves in order

1829
00:57:37,504 --> 00:57:37,837
to close balance to the city

1830
00:57:37,837 --> 00:57:38,438
charter.

1831
00:57:38,438 --> 00:57:39,720
>> The city has to close

1832
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:39,406
the general fund balance.

1833
00:57:39,406 --> 00:57:41,406
Got you.

1834
00:57:42,876 --> 00:57:43,576
So this action today allows you

1835
00:57:43,576 --> 00:57:44,444
to utilize the reserve fund so

1836
00:57:44,444 --> 00:57:48,644
you would not come back to this

1837
00:57:49,249 --> 00:57:49,716
council?

1838
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:50,160
That's correct.

1839
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:50,750
Okay.

1840
00:57:50,750 --> 00:57:51,484
However, what we would do is we

1841
00:57:51,484 --> 00:57:52,219
would if we were to have to use

1842
00:57:52,219 --> 00:57:54,888
the reserves we would come back

1843
00:57:54,888 --> 00:57:55,522
to council as part of the year

1844
00:57:55,522 --> 00:57:56,222
end performance report to

1845
00:57:56,222 --> 00:57:59,222
notify you and to communicate

1846
00:58:01,428 --> 00:58:02,960
whether we, you know, did use

1847
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:02,396
the reserves and if so, how

1848
00:58:02,396 --> 00:58:02,795
much.

1849
00:58:02,795 --> 00:58:04,795
>> Got you.

1850
00:58:06,366 --> 00:58:07,670
So it would be an informational

1851
00:58:07,670 --> 00:58:07,734
item that would come to

1852
00:58:07,734 --> 00:58:10,134
the council before utilizing

1853
00:58:12,939 --> 00:58:13,640
the funds It would be after

1854
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:14,373
after utilizing that we would

1855
00:58:14,373 --> 00:58:17,973
notify the council how much was

1856
00:58:19,212 --> 00:58:19,813
needed if needed.

1857
00:58:19,813 --> 00:58:20,647
>> Got you.

1858
00:58:20,647 --> 00:58:21,381
So if the city does need to dip

1859
00:58:21,381 --> 00:58:24,981
into the reserves is the intent

1860
00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:25,518
to provide the Council with

1861
00:58:25,518 --> 00:58:26,119
the plan to refund

1862
00:58:26,119 --> 00:58:28,519
the Stability Reserve in

1863
00:58:31,525 --> 00:58:31,992
the mid-year budget report?

1864
00:58:31,992 --> 00:58:32,693
Absolutely yes.

1865
00:58:32,693 --> 00:58:33,260
That would be part of the plan

1866
00:58:33,260 --> 00:58:36,260
That is also part of

1867
00:58:38,265 --> 00:58:38,765
the reserve policy as well if I

1868
00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:39,499
could add to it.

1869
00:58:39,499 --> 00:58:40,100
So there is a possibility for

1870
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:42,500
example, as Charles was

1871
00:58:42,736 --> 00:58:43,470
explaining and then if

1872
00:58:43,470 --> 00:58:44,204
the revenue from Kelley Gas for

1873
00:58:44,204 --> 00:58:44,905
example is collected in OCTOBER

1874
00:58:44,905 --> 00:58:47,905
and NOVEMBER that money would

1875
00:58:49,710 --> 00:58:50,310
be in excess of what we've

1876
00:58:50,310 --> 00:58:51,110
already budgeted in 27.

1877
00:58:51,110 --> 00:58:54,611
So that would those funds even

1878
00:58:54,881 --> 00:58:55,516
though maybe would not be

1879
00:58:55,516 --> 00:58:56,216
recognized in effect 26 we

1880
00:58:56,216 --> 00:58:56,750
would have the ability to use

1881
00:58:56,750 --> 00:58:58,750
that late Calloway's

1882
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:00,787
reimbursement to replenish

1883
00:59:00,787 --> 00:59:01,555
the reserves if we ended up

1884
00:59:01,555 --> 00:59:05,155
having to use them because of

1885
00:59:06,159 --> 00:59:06,626
you know, things that are out

1886
00:59:06,626 --> 00:59:07,327
of our control.

1887
00:59:07,327 --> 00:59:08,195
>> I have more questions on

1888
00:59:08,195 --> 00:59:12,432
that but I do want to close up

1889
00:59:12,432 --> 00:59:13,100
my my mistake.

1890
00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:13,634
Thank you for that though.

1891
00:59:13,634 --> 00:59:15,634
I appreciate that.

1892
00:59:17,638 --> 00:59:18,404
I appreciate your explanation.

1893
00:59:18,404 --> 00:59:18,838
I am very hesitant to utilize

1894
00:59:18,838 --> 00:59:19,607
the reserves.

1895
00:59:19,607 --> 00:59:23,207
We didn't even do that during

1896
00:59:23,944 --> 00:59:24,611
the pandemic which was a sudden

1897
00:59:24,611 --> 00:59:25,312
and unpredictable event and

1898
00:59:25,312 --> 00:59:28,912
that was before the cares Act

1899
00:59:30,217 --> 00:59:30,818
funding was available to

1900
00:59:30,818 --> 00:59:31,719
the city of San Diego.

1901
00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:32,419
So I just want to point out I

1902
00:59:32,419 --> 00:59:36,290
want to put on the record that

1903
00:59:36,290 --> 00:59:37,570
I'm I would like to avoid that

1904
00:59:37,570 --> 00:59:40,570
at all cost Regarding the $7.4

1905
00:59:42,529 --> 00:59:43,630
million oas funds, will

1906
00:59:43,630 --> 00:59:43,897
the funds go back to

1907
00:59:43,897 --> 00:59:48,680
the general fund or will it get

1908
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:48,769
dispersed to each department

1909
00:59:48,769 --> 00:59:49,169
that utilized the funds during

1910
00:59:49,169 --> 00:59:51,169
the floods?

1911
00:59:54,408 --> 00:59:55,750
It would be deposited into

1912
00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:55,442
the general fund for general

1913
00:59:55,442 --> 00:59:57,442
fund use.

1914
00:59:59,380 --> 01:00:00,800
So 7.4 million is general fund.

1915
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,800
There also is some additional

1916
01:00:04,485 --> 01:00:05,152
funding for environmental

1917
01:00:05,152 --> 01:00:05,853
services to it's about $2

1918
01:00:05,853 --> 01:00:09,453
million So that would go into

1919
01:00:11,425 --> 01:00:12,590
the Enterprise Fund for

1920
01:00:12,590 --> 01:00:12,659
Environmental Services was

1921
01:00:12,659 --> 01:00:13,127
the only one that had an

1922
01:00:13,127 --> 01:00:13,794
enterprise fund.

1923
01:00:13,794 --> 01:00:16,697
That's right That okay I do

1924
01:00:16,697 --> 01:00:17,398
know that amount.

1925
01:00:17,398 --> 01:00:18,650
It's about 2,000,002 million.

1926
01:00:18,650 --> 01:00:18,732
So we're looking at about 5

1927
01:00:18,732 --> 01:00:20,732
million roughly considering

1928
01:00:24,738 --> 01:00:25,539
that we get the 7 million back

1929
01:00:25,539 --> 01:00:25,906
That's Oh yes, it's on top of

1930
01:00:25,906 --> 01:00:27,700
the 7.20.

1931
01:00:27,700 --> 01:00:27,708
That's on top of the 7.2.

1932
01:00:27,708 --> 01:00:28,420
>> 7.4 is the general fund

1933
01:00:28,420 --> 01:00:30,420
amount.

1934
01:00:32,846 --> 01:00:33,614
Gotcha.

1935
01:00:33,614 --> 01:00:34,148
Is there any other funds that

1936
01:00:34,148 --> 01:00:34,582
we don't know about?

1937
01:00:34,582 --> 01:00:34,882
No, That's it.

1938
01:00:34,882 --> 01:00:35,449
Okay.

1939
01:00:35,449 --> 01:00:37,449
You just mentioned

1940
01:00:39,530 --> 01:00:39,754
environmental Services 2

1941
01:00:39,754 --> 01:00:40,454
million which I didn't see in

1942
01:00:40,454 --> 01:00:41,880
the documents but that doesn't

1943
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,880
mean that it's not there.

1944
01:00:45,192 --> 01:00:45,793
I would welcome this council

1945
01:00:45,793 --> 01:00:48,793
and the mayor to utilize

1946
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:51,732
the fund for flood prevention

1947
01:00:51,732 --> 01:00:52,333
the beta I don't know what

1948
01:00:52,333 --> 01:00:55,333
we're calling the p now

1949
01:00:57,237 --> 01:00:57,939
the Beta Street Channel in

1950
01:00:57,939 --> 01:00:58,506
the back is about last number

1951
01:00:58,506 --> 01:01:00,506
was about $85 million

1952
01:01:02,477 --> 01:01:03,177
considering what Chief Logan

1953
01:01:03,177 --> 01:01:06,177
expressed regarding El Nino I

1954
01:01:08,349 --> 01:01:09,830
think it's prudent for this

1955
01:01:09,830 --> 01:01:11,483
council and this administration

1956
01:01:14,550 --> 01:01:14,689
to put the money back into

1957
01:01:14,689 --> 01:01:15,356
preventing future funds as

1958
01:01:15,356 --> 01:01:17,756
we're all grappling through

1959
01:01:20,428 --> 01:01:21,162
the lawsuits that the city of

1960
01:01:21,162 --> 01:01:21,829
San Diego has based on the 2024

1961
01:01:21,829 --> 01:01:25,429
floods, I think it would be

1962
01:01:25,867 --> 01:01:26,534
prudent for us to allocate

1963
01:01:26,534 --> 01:01:29,534
the remaining funds to that

1964
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:32,873
capital improvement project and

1965
01:01:32,873 --> 01:01:33,608
I believe it's Beta Street

1966
01:01:33,608 --> 01:01:37,208
Channel So I don't know for

1967
01:01:37,578 --> 01:01:41,178
the record but I am looking

1968
01:01:43,684 --> 01:01:44,850
forward to seeing the updated

1969
01:01:44,850 --> 01:01:44,819
information.

1970
01:01:44,819 --> 01:01:45,652
>> I think it's next month when

1971
01:01:45,652 --> 01:01:49,252
we are going to discuss this

1972
01:01:50,124 --> 01:01:50,792
issue again after the aba has

1973
01:01:50,792 --> 01:01:53,192
also provided their analysis

1974
01:01:55,129 --> 01:01:55,829
and I look forward to oas

1975
01:01:55,829 --> 01:01:56,197
reimbursing us but thank you

1976
01:01:56,197 --> 01:01:56,631
for that.

1977
01:01:56,631 --> 01:01:58,631
Thank you.

1978
01:02:01,970 --> 01:02:02,670
I'm sensing a declined to

1979
01:02:02,670 --> 01:02:06,870
second the motion or did you I

1980
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:07,709
hate using reserve funds but

1981
01:02:07,709 --> 01:02:08,643
that's okay I'm I'm cool with

1982
01:02:08,643 --> 01:02:10,277
that You don't have to I'm I'm

1983
01:02:10,277 --> 01:02:13,277
okay with seconding the motion

1984
01:02:15,850 --> 01:02:16,784
Thank you.

1985
01:02:16,784 --> 01:02:20,984
Okay with that We will So we

1986
01:02:23,191 --> 01:02:23,691
have a motion by Councilmember

1987
01:02:23,691 --> 01:02:24,392
Foster a second by

1988
01:02:24,392 --> 01:02:25,250
Councilmember Reynold to move

1989
01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:27,250
the staff recommendation.

1990
01:02:27,929 --> 01:02:28,363
We'll go next to council member

1991
01:02:28,363 --> 01:02:29,197
Bob Wolpert.

1992
01:02:29,197 --> 01:02:32,197
>> Thank you very much and

1993
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:33,435
thank you for the work in

1994
01:02:33,435 --> 01:02:33,868
the third quarter report.

1995
01:02:33,868 --> 01:02:34,636
>> Thank you.

1996
01:02:34,636 --> 01:02:38,239
To be able as well for your

1997
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:38,940
analysis I have good news that

1998
01:02:38,940 --> 01:02:39,641
we're not projected to end in

1999
01:02:39,641 --> 01:02:40,241
deficit we thought we would be

2000
01:02:40,241 --> 01:02:43,241
so that's great you know

2001
01:02:45,346 --> 01:02:46,470
provided we have to get cal yes

2002
01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:46,715
to provide funding all of that

2003
01:02:46,715 --> 01:02:47,448
I hope they do But I do have

2004
01:02:47,448 --> 01:02:50,518
some questions in terms of you

2005
01:02:50,518 --> 01:02:51,252
what are coming under revenue.

2006
01:02:51,252 --> 01:02:54,852
I feel the airport authority as

2007
01:02:55,900 --> 01:02:55,790
well and we watched it Canadian

2008
01:02:55,790 --> 01:02:56,424
Airline after Canadian Airline

2009
01:02:56,424 --> 01:02:56,991
only canceled their summer

2010
01:02:56,991 --> 01:02:57,692
flights to San Diego.

2011
01:02:57,692 --> 01:03:00,920
They actually took themselves

2012
01:03:00,929 --> 01:03:01,630
out of the single market.

2013
01:03:01,630 --> 01:03:02,363
They just stopped They closed

2014
01:03:02,363 --> 01:03:05,963
all their gates because of what

2015
01:03:06,670 --> 01:03:06,801
the chaos in Washington dc is

2016
01:03:06,801 --> 01:03:07,503
causing And we saw that coming.

2017
01:03:07,503 --> 01:03:10,503
Our PRESIDENT Was horrible to

2018
01:03:11,973 --> 01:03:12,741
the Canadian government so they

2019
01:03:12,741 --> 01:03:13,341
stopped coming here And so now

2020
01:03:13,341 --> 01:03:14,900
we're seeing a result in

2021
01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:16,409
the decline in international

2022
01:03:17,746 --> 01:03:18,120
travel and they're flying over

2023
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:18,713
us.

2024
01:03:18,713 --> 01:03:19,314
Going to Mexico is what we've

2025
01:03:19,314 --> 01:03:19,914
been told to the airport

2026
01:03:19,914 --> 01:03:22,314
authority which we can't

2027
01:03:23,218 --> 01:03:24,860
control of course.

2028
01:03:24,860 --> 01:03:24,987
But were we able to offset any

2029
01:03:24,987 --> 01:03:28,587
of that with a Measure c

2030
01:03:29,230 --> 01:03:29,891
appropriations we're now able

2031
01:03:29,891 --> 01:03:33,862
to get or is still we're at a

2032
01:03:33,862 --> 01:03:34,596
deficit because of travel we've

2033
01:03:34,596 --> 01:03:38,196
seen over the last three months

2034
01:03:39,668 --> 01:03:40,435
Todd has made a rebound which

2035
01:03:40,435 --> 01:03:44,350
is which is really good news.

2036
01:03:44,673 --> 01:03:45,340
So comparing f y 26 you're in

2037
01:03:45,340 --> 01:03:48,340
projections to f y 25 actual

2038
01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:49,578
projections They're about

2039
01:03:49,578 --> 01:03:50,278
the same.

2040
01:03:50,278 --> 01:03:51,130
So we're not seeing the large

2041
01:03:51,130 --> 01:03:51,380
decrease that we had assumed in

2042
01:03:51,380 --> 01:03:53,380
the major.

2043
01:03:54,950 --> 01:03:55,450
So we're hoping that this

2044
01:03:55,450 --> 01:03:56,217
rebound continues.

2045
01:03:56,217 --> 01:04:00,220
We have increased d o t revenue

2046
01:04:00,220 --> 01:04:00,689
projections for next fiscal

2047
01:04:00,689 --> 01:04:01,156
year and we hope that that

2048
01:04:01,156 --> 01:04:01,756
trend continues.

2049
01:04:01,756 --> 01:04:04,156
>> Is that because we're

2050
01:04:05,994 --> 01:04:06,662
charging a higher proportion

2051
01:04:06,662 --> 01:04:07,296
because letter c or because

2052
01:04:07,296 --> 01:04:08,290
we're actually seeing more

2053
01:04:08,290 --> 01:04:09,164
travel, we are seeing more more

2054
01:04:09,164 --> 01:04:09,564
being spent?

2055
01:04:09,564 --> 01:04:11,564
>> Yeah.

2056
01:04:15,103 --> 01:04:15,970
Okay.

2057
01:04:15,970 --> 01:04:16,672
>> And then I have another

2058
01:04:16,672 --> 01:04:17,380
question about police and fire

2059
01:04:17,380 --> 01:04:17,639
overtime.

2060
01:04:17,639 --> 01:04:20,639
It seems that our police

2061
01:04:21,643 --> 01:04:22,277
department for the first time

2062
01:04:22,277 --> 01:04:23,100
is actually doing well in

2063
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:26,100
budget These overtime our our

2064
01:04:27,820 --> 01:04:27,783
fire department unfortunately

2065
01:04:27,783 --> 01:04:28,483
they have obviously different

2066
01:04:28,483 --> 01:04:32,830
incidences such as the fire in

2067
01:04:32,887 --> 01:04:33,621
Toronto Valley yesterday which

2068
01:04:33,621 --> 01:04:34,323
you cannot control how long and

2069
01:04:34,323 --> 01:04:37,923
how lengthy the fire will be.

2070
01:04:38,930 --> 01:04:38,627
But I do want to keep

2071
01:04:38,627 --> 01:04:39,294
monitoring how many

2072
01:04:39,294 --> 01:04:42,294
recruitments we do, how many

2073
01:04:43,932 --> 01:04:44,600
academies you do because we are

2074
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,300
able to fully staff the fire

2075
01:04:45,300 --> 01:04:45,901
department and they won't have

2076
01:04:45,901 --> 01:04:48,901
to do as much overtime.

2077
01:04:49,805 --> 01:04:50,105
So I want to continue to watch

2078
01:04:50,105 --> 01:04:50,773
that.

2079
01:04:50,773 --> 01:04:51,373
But kudos to the police for

2080
01:04:51,373 --> 01:04:52,700
actually reducing their

2081
01:04:52,700 --> 01:04:54,407
overtime budget this year.

2082
01:04:54,876 --> 01:04:55,577
Other questions about

2083
01:04:55,577 --> 01:04:56,278
transportation and I know that

2084
01:04:56,278 --> 01:04:59,278
we needed more overtime based

2085
01:05:01,850 --> 01:05:02,551
on the potholes, the rainy

2086
01:05:02,551 --> 01:05:02,985
season, the floods How are we

2087
01:05:02,985 --> 01:05:03,685
looking there?

2088
01:05:03,685 --> 01:05:06,880
Do we need obviously Bethany,

2089
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:06,755
you also all be telling us that

2090
01:05:06,755 --> 01:05:07,456
we need more transportation

2091
01:05:07,456 --> 01:05:11,159
funds but do we need to make

2092
01:05:11,159 --> 01:05:11,727
any more expenditures?

2093
01:05:11,727 --> 01:05:12,695
How are you doing?

2094
01:05:12,695 --> 01:05:17,495
What can we do to help with our

2095
01:05:18,660 --> 01:05:18,367
streets and roads and sidewalks

2096
01:05:18,367 --> 01:05:18,801
?

2097
01:05:18,801 --> 01:05:19,435
Good morning.

2098
01:05:19,435 --> 01:05:20,102
Council Van Wilpert, Naomi

2099
01:05:20,102 --> 01:05:22,502
Travis, interim director for

2100
01:05:22,971 --> 01:05:23,672
transportation As we continue

2101
01:05:23,672 --> 01:05:24,340
to communicate to this council

2102
01:05:24,340 --> 01:05:26,340
our transportation's ongoing

2103
01:05:27,943 --> 01:05:28,611
budget is significantly

2104
01:05:28,611 --> 01:05:29,311
underfunded for the needs of

2105
01:05:29,311 --> 01:05:32,311
the department We continue to

2106
01:05:33,315 --> 01:05:33,982
need approximately $6 million

2107
01:05:33,982 --> 01:05:34,683
in overtime just to deliver

2108
01:05:34,683 --> 01:05:37,683
the baseline level of service

2109
01:05:38,954 --> 01:05:39,421
and the demands that come to

2110
01:05:39,421 --> 01:05:41,421
the department.

2111
01:05:43,893 --> 01:05:44,727
So indeed with with this report

2112
01:05:44,727 --> 01:05:45,427
we do need the appropriation

2113
01:05:45,427 --> 01:05:46,328
and the allocation to be able

2114
01:05:46,328 --> 01:05:49,665
to to close out our budget for

2115
01:05:49,665 --> 01:05:50,433
the year.

2116
01:05:50,433 --> 01:05:51,200
>> And is that budget that

2117
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,200
planned for in that that

2118
01:05:55,838 --> 01:05:56,539
appropriation that's done here

2119
01:05:56,539 --> 01:06:00,139
not not for the current fiscal

2120
01:06:00,209 --> 01:06:00,943
year I think Naomi is talking

2121
01:06:00,943 --> 01:06:01,577
about for next fiscal year they

2122
01:06:01,577 --> 01:06:03,977
would need an additional 6

2123
01:06:05,748 --> 01:06:06,382
million of overtime to maintain

2124
01:06:06,382 --> 01:06:08,782
or increase their service

2125
01:06:10,186 --> 01:06:10,686
levels to a certain standard

2126
01:06:10,686 --> 01:06:11,120
for fy 27.

2127
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:11,788
>> Correct.

2128
01:06:11,788 --> 01:06:13,788
Historically our department

2129
01:06:16,392 --> 01:06:18,392
burns approximately $6 million

2130
01:06:19,895 --> 01:06:20,429
in revenue this fiscal year fy

2131
01:06:20,429 --> 01:06:21,300
26 our baseline was

2132
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:23,300
approximately 2 million.

2133
01:06:25,340 --> 01:06:25,668
Our department came to council

2134
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:26,435
twice in SEPTEMBER and in

2135
01:06:26,435 --> 01:06:30,350
OCTOBER to identify a couple of

2136
01:06:30,106 --> 01:06:30,739
mitigation opportunities to

2137
01:06:30,739 --> 01:06:31,474
free up some general fund

2138
01:06:31,474 --> 01:06:35,740
dollars so that our teams would

2139
01:06:36,112 --> 01:06:36,679
be able to deliver emergency

2140
01:06:36,679 --> 01:06:37,212
services on overtime.

2141
01:06:37,212 --> 01:06:37,880
So we were here for

2142
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,880
the transfer of the in-house

2143
01:06:41,951 --> 01:06:42,618
side the ip for one point

2144
01:06:42,618 --> 01:06:45,180
million dollars in SEPTEMBER

2145
01:06:46,322 --> 01:06:47,220
and came back in OCTOBER for

2146
01:06:47,220 --> 01:06:47,590
the 1.8 million cpd allocation

2147
01:06:47,590 --> 01:06:49,590
to the Transportation

2148
01:06:52,128 --> 01:06:52,427
Department.

2149
01:06:52,427 --> 01:06:53,129
Okay.

2150
01:06:53,129 --> 01:06:53,729
i remember those and that's

2151
01:06:53,729 --> 01:06:54,464
just how you've cobbled

2152
01:06:54,464 --> 01:06:57,330
together the overtime you have.

2153
01:06:57,330 --> 01:06:57,733
And next year we haven't

2154
01:06:57,733 --> 01:06:58,400
identified how we're going to

2155
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,137
do this correct Next year We

2156
01:07:01,137 --> 01:07:01,871
currently have I believe a 5

2157
01:07:01,871 --> 01:07:02,538
million a little over 5 million

2158
01:07:02,538 --> 01:07:06,138
in the budget which is which

2159
01:07:06,476 --> 01:07:07,243
helps but it's still not enough

2160
01:07:07,243 --> 01:07:07,543
for for what we historically

2161
01:07:07,543 --> 01:07:07,844
need.

2162
01:07:07,844 --> 01:07:08,144
Okay.

2163
01:07:08,144 --> 01:07:08,510
Okay.

2164
01:07:08,510 --> 01:07:10,510
Thank you.

2165
01:07:11,814 --> 01:07:12,782
Thank you.

2166
01:07:12,782 --> 01:07:13,516
And then I want to follow up on

2167
01:07:13,516 --> 01:07:13,850
the questions about the reserve

2168
01:07:13,850 --> 01:07:15,850
policy.

2169
01:07:16,586 --> 01:07:17,387
I know that every year we vote

2170
01:07:17,387 --> 01:07:18,210
on the third quarter on our

2171
01:07:18,210 --> 01:07:18,721
budget report and we grant

2172
01:07:18,721 --> 01:07:19,422
authority to use the reserves.

2173
01:07:19,422 --> 01:07:21,557
I'm glad last year we did not

2174
01:07:21,557 --> 01:07:22,425
have to.

2175
01:07:22,425 --> 01:07:25,425
But is the authority unlimited?

2176
01:07:27,630 --> 01:07:27,563
You know what if could you use

2177
01:07:27,563 --> 01:07:28,164
all the reserves?

2178
01:07:28,164 --> 01:07:31,164
>> You know, what are we

2179
01:07:32,402 --> 01:07:33,269
granting here exactly?

2180
01:07:33,269 --> 01:07:33,970
You would think that it would

2181
01:07:33,970 --> 01:07:34,404
be limited to the amount that

2182
01:07:34,404 --> 01:07:36,404
we would need.

2183
01:07:37,707 --> 01:07:38,375
So for example, right now we're

2184
01:07:38,375 --> 01:07:40,375
projecting 1.7 over budget.

2185
01:07:42,345 --> 01:07:43,120
So then we would not need it If

2186
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:43,713
everything turns out the way

2187
01:07:43,713 --> 01:07:46,713
the projections are holding if

2188
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:48,785
for whatever reason for example

2189
01:07:48,785 --> 01:07:51,588
the county has money does not

2190
01:07:51,588 --> 01:07:52,221
come in and that 1.7 would

2191
01:07:52,221 --> 01:07:53,560
become closer to maybe-4

2192
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,656
million So we would need we

2193
01:07:57,260 --> 01:07:57,627
basically we would be forced to

2194
01:07:57,627 --> 01:07:58,394
tap into fund balance in

2195
01:07:58,394 --> 01:08:02,365
the general fund in order to be

2196
01:08:02,365 --> 01:08:03,320
able to mitigate that 4 million

2197
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,320
which means really the only

2198
01:08:07,604 --> 01:08:08,538
source would be reserves.

2199
01:08:08,538 --> 01:08:12,509
So it would be limited to i

2200
01:08:12,509 --> 01:08:13,209
mean at this point now we're

2201
01:08:13,209 --> 01:08:13,910
we're in JUNE So unless

2202
01:08:13,910 --> 01:08:15,910
something catastrophic happens

2203
01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:18,181
it would be really a very small

2204
01:08:18,181 --> 01:08:18,782
amount that would be tapping

2205
01:08:18,782 --> 01:08:21,782
into And then from there

2206
01:08:22,819 --> 01:08:23,286
the discussion would be how do

2207
01:08:23,286 --> 01:08:23,619
we replenish it?

2208
01:08:23,619 --> 01:08:24,387
>> Okay.

2209
01:08:24,387 --> 01:08:26,289
But we haven't contributed to

2210
01:08:26,289 --> 01:08:26,990
the reserves in the past few

2211
01:08:26,990 --> 01:08:29,990
fiscal years because of our

2212
01:08:31,795 --> 01:08:32,662
budget woes.

2213
01:08:32,662 --> 01:08:33,330
So that's why I'm getting more

2214
01:08:33,330 --> 01:08:33,997
and more uncomfortable with

2215
01:08:33,997 --> 01:08:36,330
the idea of ever even using

2216
01:08:36,330 --> 01:08:39,330
reserves And I'd prefer that

2217
01:08:40,937 --> 01:08:41,738
this actually came back to

2218
01:08:41,738 --> 01:08:42,438
council to talk about it if we

2219
01:08:42,438 --> 01:08:46,380
did have to use the reserves.

2220
01:08:46,275 --> 01:08:46,609
>> And so that's what I'm

2221
01:08:46,609 --> 01:08:47,243
feeling.

2222
01:08:47,243 --> 01:08:47,810
You said you wouldn't know

2223
01:08:47,810 --> 01:08:48,512
until around AUGUST or

2224
01:08:48,512 --> 01:08:51,512
SEPTEMBER were dark in AUGUST

2225
01:08:51,581 --> 01:08:52,249
and SEPTEMBER were here so we

2226
01:08:52,249 --> 01:08:55,849
could vote for that the next

2227
01:08:56,453 --> 01:08:57,530
time we come back to council

2228
01:08:57,530 --> 01:08:57,721
will be for the year end

2229
01:08:57,721 --> 01:08:59,721
financial performance report

2230
01:09:01,791 --> 01:09:02,392
and that's in OCTOBER after

2231
01:09:02,392 --> 01:09:03,590
essentially we've closed

2232
01:09:03,590 --> 01:09:06,659
the books for the year We'll

2233
01:09:07,130 --> 01:09:07,864
have as part of that report we

2234
01:09:07,864 --> 01:09:08,565
will communicate to the council

2235
01:09:08,565 --> 01:09:11,565
and the public essentially how

2236
01:09:11,801 --> 01:09:12,402
we close the year either

2237
01:09:12,402 --> 01:09:13,203
positive or negative if

2238
01:09:13,203 --> 01:09:16,203
negative that amount would be

2239
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:18,740
needed to be drawn from

2240
01:09:18,740 --> 01:09:18,375
the reserves.

2241
01:09:18,375 --> 01:09:18,743
Okay.

2242
01:09:18,743 --> 01:09:20,743
Thank you.

2243
01:09:22,212 --> 01:09:22,913
I feel at this point I'd move

2244
01:09:22,913 --> 01:09:23,780
more comfortable if you if we

2245
01:09:23,780 --> 01:09:27,117
came back and had a discussion

2246
01:09:27,117 --> 01:09:27,784
about reserves because there's

2247
01:09:27,784 --> 01:09:28,518
a whole discussion we might

2248
01:09:28,518 --> 01:09:31,518
have about our reserve policies

2249
01:09:32,550 --> 01:09:32,856
and what that looks like So

2250
01:09:32,856 --> 01:09:33,523
i'll just listen to the rest of

2251
01:09:33,523 --> 01:09:34,240
my colleagues and hear what

2252
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:34,725
they have to say.

2253
01:09:34,725 --> 01:09:35,580
But thank you for all the work

2254
01:09:35,580 --> 01:09:37,580
on this.

2255
01:09:37,628 --> 01:09:38,495
I appreciate it.

2256
01:09:38,495 --> 01:09:41,495
Councilmember I will just know

2257
01:09:41,831 --> 01:09:42,565
it's it's an important

2258
01:09:42,565 --> 01:09:43,299
discussion but it might also be

2259
01:09:43,299 --> 01:09:43,967
somewhat academic as opposed to

2260
01:09:43,967 --> 01:09:46,967
whether or not you authorize

2261
01:09:47,371 --> 01:09:50,971
use of reserves today or in

2262
01:09:52,900 --> 01:09:52,776
AUGUST in as much as if we get

2263
01:09:52,776 --> 01:09:56,376
to AUGUST and if 26 has a

2264
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:57,247
negative on balance we do not

2265
01:09:57,247 --> 01:09:57,948
have any other way to close out

2266
01:09:57,948 --> 01:09:58,315
our books without tapping into

2267
01:09:58,315 --> 01:10:00,315
reserves.

2268
01:10:02,190 --> 01:10:02,719
So if you don't take action

2269
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:03,420
today and we end up needing to

2270
01:10:03,420 --> 01:10:06,420
use reserves in AUGUST you're

2271
01:10:06,456 --> 01:10:07,257
going to have an item presented

2272
01:10:07,257 --> 01:10:07,958
to you where you really don't

2273
01:10:07,958 --> 01:10:08,592
have any realistic choices but

2274
01:10:08,592 --> 01:10:10,600
to approve what staff put

2275
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,260
before you So just bear that in

2276
01:10:15,432 --> 01:10:15,932
mind.

2277
01:10:15,932 --> 01:10:16,667
All right.

2278
01:10:16,667 --> 01:10:19,667
Thank you Council member Yvonne

2279
01:10:20,700 --> 01:10:20,804
Wolpert And thank you Charles

2280
01:10:20,804 --> 01:10:23,804
Go next to Council PRESIDENT

2281
01:10:25,109 --> 01:10:25,843
Pro Tem we take PRESIDENT Thank

2282
01:10:25,843 --> 01:10:26,677
you for the presentation and as

2283
01:10:26,677 --> 01:10:30,277
always it's amazing to see how

2284
01:10:30,647 --> 01:10:31,148
tightly we're trying to sort of

2285
01:10:31,148 --> 01:10:31,881
stay in line with

2286
01:10:31,881 --> 01:10:34,281
the projections and we're

2287
01:10:34,986 --> 01:10:35,719
landing at least one on

2288
01:10:35,719 --> 01:10:38,719
the positive side all dependent

2289
01:10:39,890 --> 01:10:39,957
on this as reimbursement.

2290
01:10:39,957 --> 01:10:40,658
So maybe to follow up on some

2291
01:10:40,658 --> 01:10:41,325
of the questions my colleagues

2292
01:10:41,325 --> 01:10:44,461
have asked on this front, I

2293
01:10:44,461 --> 01:10:45,950
think last year in this third

2294
01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:45,729
quarter budget monitoring

2295
01:10:45,729 --> 01:10:48,729
report there was an actual

2296
01:10:48,766 --> 01:10:49,633
request for a specific amount

2297
01:10:49,633 --> 01:10:50,300
up to amount to be drawn from

2298
01:10:50,300 --> 01:10:53,300
the stability reserves as an

2299
01:10:53,938 --> 01:10:54,905
anticipation if it was

2300
01:10:54,905 --> 01:10:57,841
necessary to do so Last year it

2301
01:10:57,841 --> 01:10:58,542
was roughly $10 million and

2302
01:10:58,542 --> 01:11:02,120
ultimately we did not need it

2303
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:02,746
By the year end you were able

2304
01:11:02,746 --> 01:11:03,180
to show that we were able to

2305
01:11:03,180 --> 01:11:03,881
mitigate that.

2306
01:11:03,881 --> 01:11:07,170
Is there is there not an

2307
01:11:07,170 --> 01:11:07,685
ability to appropriate a

2308
01:11:07,685 --> 01:11:08,486
specific amount here if that

2309
01:11:08,486 --> 01:11:12,860
would help to add to some

2310
01:11:12,356 --> 01:11:14,756
comfort potentially you could

2311
01:11:16,994 --> 01:11:17,661
let let's say you were to

2312
01:11:17,661 --> 01:11:18,529
approve up to a $10 million

2313
01:11:18,529 --> 01:11:21,866
amount again but we end up when

2314
01:11:21,866 --> 01:11:22,533
we closed the books if for some

2315
01:11:22,533 --> 01:11:23,334
reason that amount is higher

2316
01:11:23,334 --> 01:11:26,334
than 10 million we would not

2317
01:11:26,372 --> 01:11:27,370
have your approval or your

2318
01:11:27,370 --> 01:11:30,370
authority to go beyond that.

2319
01:11:31,375 --> 01:11:32,760
But as Charles mentioned, we

2320
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:32,677
have to be able to close

2321
01:11:32,677 --> 01:11:33,210
the books at the end of

2322
01:11:33,210 --> 01:11:35,610
the year Balanced So

2323
01:11:36,380 --> 01:11:37,810
interesting that I guess I'm

2324
01:11:37,810 --> 01:11:37,948
just trying to understand last

2325
01:11:37,948 --> 01:11:40,484
year how you decided to pick a

2326
01:11:40,484 --> 01:11:41,185
number.

2327
01:11:41,185 --> 01:11:41,718
>> I think the number was

2328
01:11:41,718 --> 01:11:44,118
really just based on

2329
01:11:45,522 --> 01:11:46,324
the projection at the time we

2330
01:11:46,324 --> 01:11:49,924
were you know luckily we were

2331
01:11:49,994 --> 01:11:50,594
able to close the books with

2332
01:11:50,594 --> 01:11:52,994
Right right on budget.

2333
01:11:54,932 --> 01:11:55,633
We did not have a deficit So

2334
01:11:55,633 --> 01:11:56,300
but Councilmember, if that's

2335
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:57,100
something you would want to

2336
01:11:57,100 --> 01:12:00,100
entertain and just establish a

2337
01:12:00,370 --> 01:12:00,705
limit that something we would

2338
01:12:00,705 --> 01:12:01,370
be comfortable with as well.

2339
01:12:01,370 --> 01:12:03,370
>> Yes.

2340
01:12:04,508 --> 01:12:05,109
So I think if that was

2341
01:12:05,109 --> 01:12:05,843
something that we had in

2342
01:12:05,843 --> 01:12:06,511
practice last year and I wonder

2343
01:12:06,511 --> 01:12:08,913
if that would help with some

2344
01:12:08,913 --> 01:12:09,514
comfort here So that it's not

2345
01:12:09,514 --> 01:12:11,914
just an unknown number.

2346
01:12:13,451 --> 01:12:17,510
So I would propose that we

2347
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:18,790
amend us to limit pulling up to

2348
01:12:18,790 --> 01:12:19,490
$10 million in reserves similar

2349
01:12:19,490 --> 01:12:20,226
to last year That should cover

2350
01:12:20,226 --> 01:12:23,127
if for some reason the Kelly us

2351
01:12:23,127 --> 01:12:23,928
payment did not come in and any

2352
01:12:23,928 --> 01:12:26,864
other issues that could arise

2353
01:12:26,864 --> 01:12:27,532
in the next two and a half

2354
01:12:27,532 --> 01:12:27,932
weeks that that should help

2355
01:12:27,932 --> 01:12:29,932
cover that.

2356
01:12:31,202 --> 01:12:31,803
So that would be one piece that

2357
01:12:31,803 --> 01:12:34,803
I would throw out there.

2358
01:12:35,873 --> 01:12:36,741
The second is that because this

2359
01:12:36,741 --> 01:12:37,442
is contingent on a lot of this

2360
01:12:37,442 --> 01:12:40,780
is really a discussion around

2361
01:12:40,780 --> 01:12:40,912
the Kelly us reimbursement I

2362
01:12:40,912 --> 01:12:44,512
would like to add an additional

2363
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:45,783
amendment that we direct that

2364
01:12:45,783 --> 01:12:48,783
the Department of Finance would

2365
01:12:50,421 --> 01:12:51,210
fully reimburse the reserves

2366
01:12:51,210 --> 01:12:51,722
utilizing the Cal Oh yes

2367
01:12:51,722 --> 01:12:54,722
reimbursement up to the amount

2368
01:12:55,226 --> 01:12:55,593
of reserve funds that are

2369
01:12:55,593 --> 01:12:56,561
utilized.

2370
01:12:56,561 --> 01:13:00,632
So I just want to be very clear

2371
01:13:00,632 --> 01:13:01,332
that we don't find ourselves in

2372
01:13:01,332 --> 01:13:02,000
a situation where those funds

2373
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,269
don't come in, we pull from

2374
01:13:04,269 --> 01:13:05,360
the reserves and then we start

2375
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,360
next year with a $7.4 million

2376
01:13:09,874 --> 01:13:10,475
increase in revenues and that

2377
01:13:10,475 --> 01:13:11,209
gets spent in some way.

2378
01:13:11,209 --> 01:13:11,876
I think this council because of

2379
01:13:11,876 --> 01:13:14,276
the discussion we're having

2380
01:13:14,412 --> 01:13:15,790
we'd like to ensure that that

2381
01:13:15,790 --> 01:13:17,479
Kaleo is reimbursement fully

2382
01:13:19,150 --> 01:13:19,818
reimburses any reserve funds

2383
01:13:19,818 --> 01:13:22,218
stability reserve funds that

2384
01:13:23,721 --> 01:13:24,456
are utilized in this case I'd

2385
01:13:24,456 --> 01:13:28,560
be happy and supportive of that

2386
01:13:28,460 --> 01:13:28,760
and I think that's a great idea

2387
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:30,760
.

2388
01:13:33,464 --> 01:13:34,660
The 10 million number I just

2389
01:13:34,660 --> 01:13:34,832
sort of threw out there.

2390
01:13:34,832 --> 01:13:35,833
So Charles, I want to look to

2391
01:13:35,833 --> 01:13:37,436
you and if that could be less

2392
01:13:37,436 --> 01:13:38,570
that's fine too.

2393
01:13:38,570 --> 01:13:42,374
I just want to be I mean you

2394
01:13:42,374 --> 01:13:43,141
can cap that at whatever amount

2395
01:13:43,141 --> 01:13:46,644
you want maybe to have it be

2396
01:13:46,644 --> 01:13:47,412
more in concordance with

2397
01:13:47,412 --> 01:13:48,113
the cal Oh yes, Gramp maybe up

2398
01:13:48,113 --> 01:13:51,113
to 7.6 million because if you

2399
01:13:51,883 --> 01:13:52,584
draw more than that and the Yes

2400
01:13:52,584 --> 01:13:55,620
grant comes in in OCTOBER, you

2401
01:13:55,620 --> 01:13:56,320
can't fully reimburse the use

2402
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:57,155
of reserves with just that.

2403
01:13:57,155 --> 01:14:00,558
So okay so let's let's change

2404
01:14:00,558 --> 01:14:01,259
that So this will be an

2405
01:14:01,259 --> 01:14:01,926
amendment that we authorize up

2406
01:14:01,926 --> 01:14:04,926
to $7.6 million to be pulled

2407
01:14:05,432 --> 01:14:06,130
from reserves with

2408
01:14:06,130 --> 01:14:06,831
the stipulation that once that

2409
01:14:06,831 --> 01:14:09,231
class reimbursement comes back

2410
01:14:10,902 --> 01:14:11,636
that would be used to replenish

2411
01:14:11,636 --> 01:14:15,236
any amount of the reserves that

2412
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:18,443
are utilized funds I don't

2413
01:14:18,443 --> 01:14:19,177
write that up.

2414
01:14:19,177 --> 01:14:19,578
>> So it is the maker of

2415
01:14:19,578 --> 01:14:21,578
the motion.

2416
01:14:22,214 --> 01:14:23,181
Okay with that?

2417
01:14:23,181 --> 01:14:27,319
I am And just as I made my

2418
01:14:27,319 --> 01:14:28,200
motion in the conversation that

2419
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:28,753
we had, I thought it was

2420
01:14:28,753 --> 01:14:31,557
totally dependent on the Cal Oh

2421
01:14:31,557 --> 01:14:32,190
yes, the 7.4 that would

2422
01:14:32,190 --> 01:14:34,590
essentially make us whole.

2423
01:14:36,940 --> 01:14:36,795
So I am totally in line with

2424
01:14:36,795 --> 01:14:40,395
making that part of the motion

2425
01:14:41,867 --> 01:14:42,233
for clarity purposes and

2426
01:14:42,233 --> 01:14:42,534
direction.

2427
01:14:42,534 --> 01:14:43,135
Okay.

2428
01:14:43,135 --> 01:14:43,836
And the second third of

2429
01:14:43,836 --> 01:14:44,135
the motion Yes, I'm okay with

2430
01:14:44,135 --> 01:14:46,135
that.

2431
01:14:46,471 --> 01:14:46,872
Thank you.

2432
01:14:46,872 --> 01:14:47,572
All right.

2433
01:14:47,572 --> 01:14:48,173
So I know the city clerk's

2434
01:14:48,173 --> 01:14:50,409
office well and the city

2435
01:14:50,409 --> 01:14:51,376
attorney will scramble but just

2436
01:14:51,376 --> 01:14:54,880
just if I MAY, I think I heard

2437
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:55,547
7.6 where the number 7.4 So I

2438
01:14:55,547 --> 01:14:55,813
think the numbers should be

2439
01:14:55,813 --> 01:14:56,348
7.4.

2440
01:14:56,348 --> 01:14:58,348
7.4 is the estimate.

2441
01:14:59,685 --> 01:14:59,985
Yes, that's correct.

2442
01:14:59,985 --> 01:15:00,285
Okay.

2443
01:15:00,285 --> 01:15:00,786
7.4.4.

2444
01:15:00,786 --> 01:15:02,786
Yes, seven point.

2445
01:15:04,622 --> 01:15:05,223
So the city clerk the city

2446
01:15:05,223 --> 01:15:05,891
attorney will craft that

2447
01:15:05,891 --> 01:15:08,660
language and circulate it to

2448
01:15:08,660 --> 01:15:09,328
the maker of the motion and

2449
01:15:09,328 --> 01:15:09,661
make sure that we got that

2450
01:15:09,661 --> 01:15:11,661
correct.

2451
01:15:13,966 --> 01:15:14,232
That concludes your comments,

2452
01:15:14,232 --> 01:15:14,666
sir.

2453
01:15:14,666 --> 01:15:15,670
>> It does.

2454
01:15:15,670 --> 01:15:17,670
Thank you.

2455
01:15:18,637 --> 01:15:19,370
We'll go back to council member

2456
01:15:19,370 --> 01:15:19,771
Eli Rivera.

2457
01:15:19,771 --> 01:15:22,171
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

2458
01:15:22,374 --> 01:15:24,374
Appreciate the presentation

2459
01:15:27,478 --> 01:15:28,146
here and the work you did

2460
01:15:28,146 --> 01:15:31,650
Charles and the work of my

2461
01:15:31,650 --> 01:15:32,584
colleagues here.

2462
01:15:32,584 --> 01:15:35,584
Charles as you were running

2463
01:15:39,658 --> 01:15:42,658
through some of the variances

2464
01:15:43,529 --> 01:15:47,129
actually before I do that a

2465
01:15:48,734 --> 01:15:49,601
question of a transportation to

2466
01:15:49,601 --> 01:15:53,201
what extent is the you are

2467
01:15:53,205 --> 01:15:53,972
the overages that we're seeing

2468
01:15:53,972 --> 01:15:56,972
related to what was budgeted

2469
01:15:58,610 --> 01:15:59,244
for Because I'm seeing some

2470
01:15:59,244 --> 01:16:02,244
correlation and I could be

2471
01:16:02,715 --> 01:16:03,482
mistaken here in Charles feel

2472
01:16:03,482 --> 01:16:07,286
free to jump in if I'm missing

2473
01:16:07,286 --> 01:16:07,886
something as well between where

2474
01:16:07,886 --> 01:16:09,886
we're underperforming or

2475
01:16:12,124 --> 01:16:12,825
revenues coming in below were

2476
01:16:12,825 --> 01:16:15,825
expected and we're we're above

2477
01:16:16,862 --> 01:16:17,529
budget and I'm trying to

2478
01:16:17,529 --> 01:16:18,263
understand Naomi I think you

2479
01:16:18,263 --> 01:16:21,263
can have an impossible job

2480
01:16:21,767 --> 01:16:22,634
because the expectations have

2481
01:16:22,634 --> 01:16:25,634
not changed But revenue that's

2482
01:16:26,438 --> 01:16:30,476
come in has just So when do you

2483
01:16:30,476 --> 01:16:31,377
throttle back when the revenue

2484
01:16:31,377 --> 01:16:34,977
starts to to slide from where

2485
01:16:35,881 --> 01:16:36,682
it was anticipated to be or

2486
01:16:36,682 --> 01:16:40,282
projected to be in the approved

2487
01:16:41,287 --> 01:16:41,987
budget that that part of that

2488
01:16:41,987 --> 01:16:42,855
is an operations question Then

2489
01:16:42,855 --> 01:16:44,857
part of it is like a math

2490
01:16:44,857 --> 01:16:45,724
question for Charles about

2491
01:16:45,724 --> 01:16:49,324
making sure that I'm I'm not

2492
01:16:51,964 --> 01:16:53,966
misreading where we're falling

2493
01:16:53,966 --> 01:16:54,900
short there.

2494
01:16:54,900 --> 01:16:55,601
One just want to make sure I'm

2495
01:16:55,601 --> 01:16:56,302
clear on the question you for

2496
01:16:56,302 --> 01:16:58,300
helping along as well I assume

2497
01:16:58,300 --> 01:16:58,671
that referring to less revenue

2498
01:16:58,671 --> 01:16:59,271
coming in from parking meter

2499
01:16:59,271 --> 01:16:59,972
operations to reimburse

2500
01:16:59,972 --> 01:17:02,372
transportation for their work

2501
01:17:03,576 --> 01:17:04,243
Yeah Okay.

2502
01:17:04,243 --> 01:17:04,910
So I'll let you handle

2503
01:17:04,910 --> 01:17:05,678
the first question on that.

2504
01:17:05,678 --> 01:17:08,470
How do you respond to what

2505
01:17:08,470 --> 01:17:08,714
happened?

2506
01:17:08,714 --> 01:17:09,448
>> Yeah, I'll jump in.

2507
01:17:09,448 --> 01:17:12,448
So operationally we ensure that

2508
01:17:12,518 --> 01:17:12,885
the overtime is for essential

2509
01:17:12,885 --> 01:17:14,885
services.

2510
01:17:17,991 --> 01:17:18,891
Of course emergencies call back

2511
01:17:18,891 --> 01:17:19,558
We had back to back storms so

2512
01:17:19,558 --> 01:17:22,558
we had to prioritize that

2513
01:17:23,162 --> 01:17:23,829
debris clearing street like

2514
01:17:23,829 --> 01:17:24,497
traffic signal resets knock

2515
01:17:24,497 --> 01:17:26,897
over anything that's that's

2516
01:17:27,667 --> 01:17:27,999
caused by by extreme weather or

2517
01:17:27,999 --> 01:17:28,834
storms.

2518
01:17:28,834 --> 01:17:32,238
And in this case this fiscal

2519
01:17:32,238 --> 01:17:32,939
year we also make sure that we

2520
01:17:32,939 --> 01:17:33,472
are prioritizing overtime for

2521
01:17:33,472 --> 01:17:35,472
our paving projects.

2522
01:17:36,843 --> 01:17:37,543
So anything that's already

2523
01:17:37,543 --> 01:17:38,177
funded that's going to deliver

2524
01:17:38,177 --> 01:17:38,845
the paving mileage that's

2525
01:17:38,845 --> 01:17:41,845
budgeted for the fiscal year

2526
01:17:41,914 --> 01:17:44,914
and just being very just

2527
01:17:46,286 --> 01:17:46,953
ensuring that it's that either

2528
01:17:46,953 --> 01:17:47,587
funded or something that is

2529
01:17:47,587 --> 01:17:49,587
critical something that's

2530
01:17:51,423 --> 01:17:54,423
emergency and has a funding

2531
01:17:56,329 --> 01:17:56,629
source attached to it.

2532
01:17:56,629 --> 01:17:57,363
Right.

2533
01:17:57,363 --> 01:17:57,797
I guess that's what I'm trying

2534
01:17:57,797 --> 01:17:58,431
to understand.

2535
01:17:58,431 --> 01:18:01,431
I think there's a funding

2536
01:18:03,503 --> 01:18:04,203
source attached but we're we're

2537
01:18:04,203 --> 01:18:04,804
we've got a gap It's

2538
01:18:04,804 --> 01:18:05,471
accumulating across over

2539
01:18:05,471 --> 01:18:08,341
the course there And this is

2540
01:18:08,341 --> 01:18:09,410
where I'm kind of looking for

2541
01:18:09,410 --> 01:18:12,410
some help your Charles because

2542
01:18:13,346 --> 01:18:14,470
I'm what I'm hearing is that

2543
01:18:14,470 --> 01:18:17,647
you've been tasked with a list

2544
01:18:17,917 --> 01:18:18,618
of things to do and we've

2545
01:18:18,618 --> 01:18:19,850
allocated a certain amount of

2546
01:18:19,850 --> 01:18:21,850
money for that.

2547
01:18:22,889 --> 01:18:23,656
Your list doesn't change even

2548
01:18:23,656 --> 01:18:24,357
if the money changes And I'm

2549
01:18:24,357 --> 01:18:24,958
trying to understand where in

2550
01:18:24,958 --> 01:18:27,958
the fiscal year you get

2551
01:18:28,895 --> 01:18:29,596
the direction hey, the money is

2552
01:18:29,596 --> 01:18:32,899
not what we thought it was

2553
01:18:32,899 --> 01:18:33,700
going to be So we need to

2554
01:18:33,700 --> 01:18:34,434
change the list of things that

2555
01:18:34,434 --> 01:18:38,340
need to be done Otherwise we're

2556
01:18:38,337 --> 01:18:39,105
going to end up over budget.

2557
01:18:39,105 --> 01:18:39,806
So again, I kind of there's

2558
01:18:39,806 --> 01:18:40,440
like the understand the budget

2559
01:18:40,440 --> 01:18:43,440
piece which I'm looking to

2560
01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:44,611
Charles for and then

2561
01:18:44,611 --> 01:18:45,311
understanding how you're being

2562
01:18:45,311 --> 01:18:48,147
directed on the operation side

2563
01:18:48,147 --> 01:18:48,815
think of a few things you're on

2564
01:18:48,815 --> 01:18:49,482
one on the operational side

2565
01:18:49,482 --> 01:18:50,150
each department has analysts

2566
01:18:50,150 --> 01:18:52,418
that goes over their budgets

2567
01:18:52,418 --> 01:18:53,860
and kind of day to day basis to

2568
01:18:53,860 --> 01:18:53,787
see what's coming in and how

2569
01:18:53,787 --> 01:18:56,322
much they actually have, what

2570
01:18:56,322 --> 01:18:57,570
their expenditures are using

2571
01:18:57,570 --> 01:18:57,690
that and in consultation with

2572
01:18:57,690 --> 01:18:58,158
the Department of Finance

2573
01:18:58,158 --> 01:19:00,158
presumably with

2574
01:19:01,728 --> 01:19:02,429
the administration as well if

2575
01:19:02,429 --> 01:19:03,196
dollars are not coming in to

2576
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,796
the point they need to support

2577
01:19:07,167 --> 01:19:07,900
activities or if cost of

2578
01:19:07,900 --> 01:19:08,568
activities are coming in higher

2579
01:19:08,568 --> 01:19:10,968
than what we've anticipated,

2580
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:11,771
there needs to be discussion on

2581
01:19:11,771 --> 01:19:15,371
what can actually be done and

2582
01:19:16,309 --> 01:19:16,976
then you get to the point where

2583
01:19:16,976 --> 01:19:20,576
if the dollars are not there

2584
01:19:21,181 --> 01:19:21,814
you'll have to see some amount

2585
01:19:21,814 --> 01:19:24,814
of services that we asked

2586
01:19:25,618 --> 01:19:25,952
departments to reform be cut

2587
01:19:25,952 --> 01:19:26,719
back.

2588
01:19:26,719 --> 01:19:30,319
There is a process provided in

2589
01:19:30,757 --> 01:19:31,558
our budgetary principles which

2590
01:19:31,558 --> 01:19:32,426
are agreed on each year for

2591
01:19:32,426 --> 01:19:35,928
when there are times that a

2592
01:19:35,928 --> 01:19:36,596
department or

2593
01:19:36,596 --> 01:19:37,297
the administration needs to

2594
01:19:37,297 --> 01:19:37,998
pull back on services that are

2595
01:19:37,998 --> 01:19:40,998
assumed to be delivered in

2596
01:19:41,501 --> 01:19:42,350
the proposed early adopted

2597
01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:42,670
budget that there's

2598
01:19:42,670 --> 01:19:45,700
notification sent to this

2599
01:19:45,438 --> 01:19:46,600
Council and then that

2600
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:46,740
the budget government

2601
01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:47,340
efficiency take up a discussion

2602
01:19:47,340 --> 01:19:50,744
of that item at its next

2603
01:19:50,744 --> 01:19:51,478
available committee meeting.

2604
01:19:51,478 --> 01:19:53,878
I believe that specifically

2605
01:19:55,181 --> 01:19:55,882
the Transportation they did

2606
01:19:55,882 --> 01:19:56,616
send a memo right maybe last

2607
01:19:56,616 --> 01:19:59,486
week talking about the overtime

2608
01:19:59,486 --> 01:20:00,120
use and other items that would

2609
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,120
be scaled back from that.

2610
01:20:03,957 --> 01:20:04,824
Maybe it's unfortunately timed

2611
01:20:04,824 --> 01:20:05,525
in that we are very close to

2612
01:20:05,525 --> 01:20:09,295
the end of the fiscal year So

2613
01:20:09,295 --> 01:20:09,930
there's not really much that an

2614
01:20:09,930 --> 01:20:10,630
additional discussion can

2615
01:20:10,630 --> 01:20:11,310
potentially change on that at

2616
01:20:11,310 --> 01:20:13,310
this point.

2617
01:20:14,568 --> 01:20:15,302
But that is a process that

2618
01:20:15,302 --> 01:20:16,103
we've got laid out and that was

2619
01:20:16,103 --> 01:20:18,939
agreed to by both this council

2620
01:20:18,939 --> 01:20:20,939
and the administration.

2621
01:20:24,678 --> 01:20:25,379
So I guess kind of thank you

2622
01:20:25,379 --> 01:20:26,113
coming back to you now and

2623
01:20:26,113 --> 01:20:28,548
anyone from the operations side

2624
01:20:28,548 --> 01:20:32,148
of things I think is again

2625
01:20:32,985 --> 01:20:33,320
you've been given a list a to

2626
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:34,540
do list.

2627
01:20:34,540 --> 01:20:37,540
We've given you amount at

2628
01:20:37,758 --> 01:20:38,425
the beginning of the fiscal

2629
01:20:38,425 --> 01:20:39,226
year allocated you a certain

2630
01:20:39,226 --> 01:20:42,826
amount of resources to do that

2631
01:20:42,929 --> 01:20:46,967
with And I just I want to make

2632
01:20:46,967 --> 01:20:47,668
sure I'm clear on this There's

2633
01:20:47,668 --> 01:20:51,868
a we're all on the hook for

2634
01:20:51,906 --> 01:20:52,706
this because what I what I'm

2635
01:20:52,706 --> 01:20:56,306
hearing is least part of this

2636
01:20:56,844 --> 01:20:57,544
is after we kind of gave you

2637
01:20:57,544 --> 01:20:58,278
the fuel you were supposed to

2638
01:20:58,278 --> 01:20:58,979
need to get to your destination

2639
01:20:58,979 --> 01:21:01,615
and we started siphoning fuel

2640
01:21:01,615 --> 01:21:02,316
out of that tank and your

2641
01:21:02,316 --> 01:21:04,716
destination didn't change And

2642
01:21:06,587 --> 01:21:08,987
so the communication between

2643
01:21:10,657 --> 01:21:11,324
operations and and the council

2644
01:21:11,324 --> 01:21:12,260
isn't really important here

2645
01:21:12,260 --> 01:21:15,260
because as decisions are being

2646
01:21:15,629 --> 01:21:19,829
made to to pull back on on

2647
01:21:20,334 --> 01:21:21,101
decisions that are related to

2648
01:21:21,101 --> 01:21:24,101
revenue we need to understand

2649
01:21:25,672 --> 01:21:26,390
the operational impacts of that

2650
01:21:26,390 --> 01:21:26,740
real time.

2651
01:21:26,740 --> 01:21:27,141
And again that's that's not a

2652
01:21:27,141 --> 01:21:27,808
used thing.

2653
01:21:27,808 --> 01:21:31,408
Naomi To a certain extent I

2654
01:21:32,780 --> 01:21:33,580
guess it is but there's just a

2655
01:21:33,580 --> 01:21:36,580
reality here that we're like

2656
01:21:37,384 --> 01:21:38,218
continuing to defund activities

2657
01:21:38,218 --> 01:21:41,818
that we've told you all that

2658
01:21:42,756 --> 01:21:43,456
you want that we want done,

2659
01:21:43,456 --> 01:21:43,991
that everyone wants done that

2660
01:21:43,991 --> 01:21:46,391
the city wants done,

2661
01:21:49,229 --> 01:21:49,964
the residents want done So what

2662
01:21:49,964 --> 01:21:50,664
is a better way to communicate

2663
01:21:50,664 --> 01:21:54,235
in real time And whether it's

2664
01:21:54,235 --> 01:21:55,200
Naomi or Rolando or whoever

2665
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:55,669
wants to jump in here about

2666
01:21:55,669 --> 01:21:58,690
what the operational impacts

2667
01:21:59,307 --> 01:21:59,974
would be of the decisions that

2668
01:21:59,974 --> 01:22:02,974
the council's making when it

2669
01:22:03,777 --> 01:22:04,478
relates to increasing or

2670
01:22:04,478 --> 01:22:06,878
decreasing the revenue flow

2671
01:22:09,383 --> 01:22:09,683
after the budgets been approved

2672
01:22:09,683 --> 01:22:10,551
.

2673
01:22:10,551 --> 01:22:11,418
I can take a first down and

2674
01:22:11,418 --> 01:22:13,621
Bethany wants to chime in as

2675
01:22:13,621 --> 01:22:14,488
well.

2676
01:22:14,488 --> 01:22:15,122
I think it just comes back to

2677
01:22:15,122 --> 01:22:17,522
just this is philosophical

2678
01:22:18,793 --> 01:22:19,459
discussion about both mayor and

2679
01:22:19,459 --> 01:22:19,960
council are responsible for

2680
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,960
the budget, right?

2681
01:22:22,897 --> 01:22:23,497
So they it is and neither

2682
01:22:23,497 --> 01:22:24,164
council nor mayor can

2683
01:22:24,164 --> 01:22:26,564
unilaterally impact what is

2684
01:22:28,736 --> 01:22:29,570
contemplate it in the budget.

2685
01:22:29,570 --> 01:22:33,170
What could happen though it is

2686
01:22:33,641 --> 01:22:34,508
dynamic you could have JANUARY

2687
01:22:34,508 --> 01:22:35,376
or a season where it's you know

2688
01:22:35,376 --> 01:22:38,976
you know it's a much Rainier

2689
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:39,780
season and there's a lot of

2690
01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:40,248
potholes and well there could

2691
01:22:40,248 --> 01:22:40,948
be an emergency.

2692
01:22:40,948 --> 01:22:43,617
So there are things that could

2693
01:22:43,617 --> 01:22:44,352
happen during the year.

2694
01:22:44,352 --> 01:22:44,986
Right now I'm a little less

2695
01:22:44,986 --> 01:22:45,686
concerned with sorry about

2696
01:22:45,686 --> 01:22:47,856
the variables because I think

2697
01:22:47,856 --> 01:22:48,623
that's understood right 2024

2698
01:22:48,623 --> 01:22:52,223
huge flood And we've got we

2699
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:53,494
have to deal with

2700
01:22:53,494 --> 01:22:54,195
the emergency.

2701
01:22:54,195 --> 01:22:54,896
But what I'm hearing Naomi say

2702
01:22:54,896 --> 01:22:57,331
this is something a little bit

2703
01:22:57,331 --> 01:22:57,832
different which is we were told

2704
01:22:57,832 --> 01:22:58,533
to do this work.

2705
01:22:58,533 --> 01:23:01,533
We're working off our project

2706
01:23:01,836 --> 01:23:02,170
list and we're like that's

2707
01:23:02,170 --> 01:23:02,803
the job.

2708
01:23:02,803 --> 01:23:06,403
So head down, do the job.

2709
01:23:06,641 --> 01:23:07,341
And then I'm also hearing that

2710
01:23:07,341 --> 01:23:07,942
revenues are coming in below

2711
01:23:07,942 --> 01:23:10,342
projections some of that

2712
01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:12,713
related to policy decisions of

2713
01:23:12,713 --> 01:23:13,414
the council And when does

2714
01:23:13,414 --> 01:23:16,984
the thinking up happen in that

2715
01:23:16,984 --> 01:23:17,552
instance Because emergencies

2716
01:23:17,552 --> 01:23:18,419
have to be dealt with.

2717
01:23:18,419 --> 01:23:20,221
We all have to pivot and make

2718
01:23:20,221 --> 01:23:23,221
adjustments on the fly That's

2719
01:23:25,426 --> 01:23:25,960
different than us decreasing

2720
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,960
revenue and keeping

2721
01:23:29,797 --> 01:23:30,498
the workload the same because

2722
01:23:30,498 --> 01:23:34,980
the obvious result of that is

2723
01:23:35,370 --> 01:23:36,336
going to be being over budget.

2724
01:23:36,336 --> 01:23:37,380
>> If I MAY share an example,

2725
01:23:37,380 --> 01:23:39,438
hopefully this answers your

2726
01:23:40,508 --> 01:23:41,209
question.

2727
01:23:41,209 --> 01:23:41,843
For example streetlights we're

2728
01:23:41,843 --> 01:23:42,543
not resourced to do that.

2729
01:23:42,543 --> 01:23:44,746
We've we've communicated time

2730
01:23:44,746 --> 01:23:45,446
over time that overtime is

2731
01:23:45,446 --> 01:23:46,114
the only mechanism we have to

2732
01:23:46,114 --> 01:23:49,114
be able to turn streetlights

2733
01:23:49,917 --> 01:23:50,618
back on.

2734
01:23:50,618 --> 01:23:51,319
We don't do that throughout

2735
01:23:51,319 --> 01:23:53,720
the year unless it's in cpd's

2736
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:54,289
because we receive that

2737
01:23:54,289 --> 01:23:56,689
allocation or it's an

2738
01:23:58,693 --> 01:23:59,461
emergency, it's a knock over

2739
01:23:59,461 --> 01:23:59,861
either from you know, a driver

2740
01:23:59,861 --> 01:24:00,461
or a storm.

2741
01:24:00,461 --> 01:24:02,861
So we would address

2742
01:24:03,564 --> 01:24:04,198
the emergency but that asset

2743
01:24:04,198 --> 01:24:04,766
does not get touched right

2744
01:24:04,766 --> 01:24:05,266
because we don't have

2745
01:24:05,266 --> 01:24:07,666
the budget for it.

2746
01:24:10,705 --> 01:24:11,406
So that to you So Bethany Bees,

2747
01:24:11,406 --> 01:24:13,408
our chief performance and

2748
01:24:13,408 --> 01:24:13,974
logistics Officer So what I

2749
01:24:13,974 --> 01:24:14,642
would add in terms of

2750
01:24:14,642 --> 01:24:17,642
the mechanics about how this

2751
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:18,913
will function so transportation

2752
01:24:18,913 --> 01:24:19,547
in that fy 27 budget has a

2753
01:24:19,547 --> 01:24:21,947
certain amount of overtime

2754
01:24:22,450 --> 01:24:23,218
associated with transportation

2755
01:24:23,218 --> 01:24:23,952
has done is they've looked at

2756
01:24:23,952 --> 01:24:27,552
the year over year overages and

2757
01:24:27,789 --> 01:24:28,890
which teams are incurring those

2758
01:24:28,890 --> 01:24:28,757
costs.

2759
01:24:28,757 --> 01:24:29,357
So what we've done is we've

2760
01:24:29,357 --> 01:24:31,357
established essentially

2761
01:24:33,228 --> 01:24:33,962
allocations you don't see that

2762
01:24:33,962 --> 01:24:34,596
breakdown but at the department

2763
01:24:34,596 --> 01:24:35,296
level two operations level

2764
01:24:35,296 --> 01:24:38,296
we're seeing a certain amount

2765
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:39,134
of overtime has been allocated.

2766
01:24:39,134 --> 01:24:42,734
Then what we're doing is we're

2767
01:24:43,171 --> 01:24:43,772
creating individual funding

2768
01:24:43,772 --> 01:24:44,339
centers for let's say

2769
01:24:44,339 --> 01:24:44,939
the streetlight team,

2770
01:24:44,939 --> 01:24:47,339
the traffic safety team,

2771
01:24:47,642 --> 01:24:48,376
the pothole team etc. Based on

2772
01:24:48,376 --> 01:24:51,976
what our typical spend has been

2773
01:24:52,781 --> 01:24:53,448
then what we do during quarter

2774
01:24:53,448 --> 01:24:54,116
one midyear third quarter is

2775
01:24:54,116 --> 01:24:56,516
see what individually those

2776
01:24:57,652 --> 01:24:58,420
teams look like.

2777
01:24:58,420 --> 01:24:59,870
They're tracking it And then I

2778
01:24:59,870 --> 01:24:59,821
believe that's the mechanism

2779
01:24:59,821 --> 01:25:02,691
where the operations then would

2780
01:25:02,691 --> 01:25:03,424
follow into whether or not

2781
01:25:03,424 --> 01:25:06,424
policy decisions and or revenue

2782
01:25:07,995 --> 01:25:08,563
are are trending accordingly to

2783
01:25:08,563 --> 01:25:09,231
match the operations.

2784
01:25:09,231 --> 01:25:12,400
So using it that's the best

2785
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:13,680
mechanism to essentially true

2786
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:13,468
up those things and to

2787
01:25:13,468 --> 01:25:14,169
communicate.

2788
01:25:14,169 --> 01:25:17,472
But Rolando and I are happy to

2789
01:25:17,472 --> 01:25:18,206
work with you if there's a

2790
01:25:18,206 --> 01:25:20,606
better mechanism to demonstrate

2791
01:25:21,276 --> 01:25:21,842
that figure does that when

2792
01:25:21,842 --> 01:25:22,577
there are significant

2793
01:25:22,577 --> 01:25:23,440
divergences in the expenditures

2794
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:25,440
or the revenues.

2795
01:25:26,810 --> 01:25:26,748
One we hope that we can see

2796
01:25:26,748 --> 01:25:27,382
that in the quarterly budget

2797
01:25:27,382 --> 01:25:29,782
monitor reports like we're

2798
01:25:29,851 --> 01:25:30,519
talking about right now and

2799
01:25:30,519 --> 01:25:31,186
that both have communicated

2800
01:25:31,186 --> 01:25:32,200
clearly in those reports as

2801
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,891
well as frankly in my Office of

2802
01:25:35,891 --> 01:25:36,558
Analysis of those reports when

2803
01:25:36,558 --> 01:25:38,958
they there's something that

2804
01:25:39,895 --> 01:25:40,662
comes up between them or is

2805
01:25:40,662 --> 01:25:41,329
going to be real change to what

2806
01:25:41,329 --> 01:25:43,729
operations can be provided,

2807
01:25:44,766 --> 01:25:45,434
that's something that should be

2808
01:25:45,434 --> 01:25:46,168
communicated to this council

2809
01:25:46,168 --> 01:25:49,168
through some kind of mechanism,

2810
01:25:49,504 --> 01:25:50,105
be it a memo, be it a

2811
01:25:50,105 --> 01:25:50,839
presentation, whatever.

2812
01:25:50,839 --> 01:25:55,390
And then the final item I would

2813
01:25:55,210 --> 01:25:55,877
note as you noted this some of

2814
01:25:55,877 --> 01:25:58,877
the declines in revenue from

2815
01:25:59,314 --> 01:25:59,982
what was in the adopted budget

2816
01:25:59,982 --> 01:26:00,549
to where we are now are

2817
01:26:00,549 --> 01:26:01,183
the result of some of

2818
01:26:01,183 --> 01:26:03,583
the policy decisions that

2819
01:26:03,818 --> 01:26:04,286
the council made after adoption

2820
01:26:04,286 --> 01:26:06,286
of the budget.

2821
01:26:08,657 --> 01:26:09,258
I will be frank the potential

2822
01:26:09,258 --> 01:26:09,958
impacts of this Council

2823
01:26:09,958 --> 01:26:12,958
choosing to take actions that

2824
01:26:13,362 --> 01:26:14,620
generate less revenue those

2825
01:26:14,620 --> 01:26:14,730
operational impacts should be

2826
01:26:14,730 --> 01:26:18,330
presented to you at the time

2827
01:26:18,333 --> 01:26:19,201
those items are brought before

2828
01:26:19,201 --> 01:26:19,768
you and if they have not been

2829
01:26:19,768 --> 01:26:22,168
filed they should be.

2830
01:26:23,710 --> 01:26:23,772
Yeah I think in the future I

2831
01:26:23,772 --> 01:26:26,772
think that's an important part

2832
01:26:27,943 --> 01:26:28,644
of the conversation both for

2833
01:26:28,644 --> 01:26:31,440
understanding the impacts and

2834
01:26:32,815 --> 01:26:36,415
for making it less likely that

2835
01:26:37,252 --> 01:26:41,452
we end up in a situation where

2836
01:26:42,259 --> 01:26:42,891
we end up over budget because

2837
01:26:42,891 --> 01:26:44,891
detaching the conversation

2838
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:48,620
about pulling back from

2839
01:26:48,620 --> 01:26:51,620
the operational impacts it's a

2840
01:26:55,871 --> 01:26:56,672
tiny portion of the story and

2841
01:26:56,672 --> 01:26:57,239
so I appreciate that this is

2842
01:26:57,239 --> 01:26:59,639
super helpful for me.

2843
01:27:00,542 --> 01:27:01,210
>> I think that something this

2844
01:27:01,210 --> 01:27:04,210
year one obviously we turned

2845
01:27:05,281 --> 01:27:05,716
multiple switches last year on

2846
01:27:05,716 --> 01:27:06,749
on revenue.

2847
01:27:06,749 --> 01:27:10,853
There's less of that in this in

2848
01:27:10,853 --> 01:27:13,853
this budget and moving forward

2849
01:27:15,524 --> 01:27:16,158
I think kind of all of us need

2850
01:27:16,158 --> 01:27:19,158
to that that more holistic

2851
01:27:19,896 --> 01:27:20,629
conversation needs to happen

2852
01:27:20,629 --> 01:27:23,290
when we're discussing decisions

2853
01:27:24,366 --> 01:27:25,134
related to increasing or

2854
01:27:25,134 --> 01:27:28,134
decreasing revenue and and then

2855
01:27:30,539 --> 01:27:31,173
the communication piece from

2856
01:27:31,173 --> 01:27:31,841
the operations side I mean

2857
01:27:31,841 --> 01:27:34,841
quite literally like this is

2858
01:27:34,877 --> 01:27:35,678
what my list I have this many

2859
01:27:35,678 --> 01:27:39,248
projects to do and I'm going to

2860
01:27:39,248 --> 01:27:39,949
have to chop off the bottom 25%

2861
01:27:39,949 --> 01:27:40,649
if you do this like that's

2862
01:27:40,649 --> 01:27:44,319
the sort of stuff that we need

2863
01:27:44,319 --> 01:27:44,987
to wrestle with because that's

2864
01:27:44,987 --> 01:27:45,687
the reality of the decisions

2865
01:27:45,687 --> 01:27:46,222
are being that are being made.

2866
01:27:46,222 --> 01:27:48,622
So anyway, just in

2867
01:27:49,910 --> 01:27:49,692
the presentation as I was

2868
01:27:49,692 --> 01:27:50,159
listening that was that

2869
01:27:50,159 --> 01:27:52,159
particular piece

2870
01:27:52,761 --> 01:27:53,763
the transportation piece stood

2871
01:27:53,763 --> 01:27:54,530
out to me and I wanted to make

2872
01:27:54,530 --> 01:27:57,530
sure that I wasn't conflating

2873
01:27:58,567 --> 01:27:58,868
correlation with causation too

2874
01:27:58,868 --> 01:27:59,669
much.

2875
01:27:59,669 --> 01:28:02,705
I know that it's not quite as

2876
01:28:02,705 --> 01:28:06,305
simple as that but there also

2877
01:28:07,242 --> 01:28:07,910
does seem to be some causation

2878
01:28:07,910 --> 01:28:08,411
on the council side on this

2879
01:28:08,411 --> 01:28:08,777
particular issue.

2880
01:28:08,777 --> 01:28:10,777
Thank you.

2881
01:28:12,214 --> 01:28:12,782
Council PRESIDENT All right.

2882
01:28:12,782 --> 01:28:14,782
Thank you, sir.

2883
01:28:18,254 --> 01:28:18,821
And for Council PRESIDENT Pro

2884
01:28:18,821 --> 01:28:21,221
Tem weigh in Customer

2885
01:28:21,290 --> 01:28:21,924
replacement cost Marino We have

2886
01:28:21,924 --> 01:28:22,625
the new language up there.

2887
01:28:22,625 --> 01:28:23,326
We're going to make sure that

2888
01:28:23,326 --> 01:28:26,326
you're that reflects what you

2889
01:28:27,290 --> 01:28:27,730
all intended to but we'll go to

2890
01:28:27,730 --> 01:28:28,431
council member Von Wolpert In

2891
01:28:28,431 --> 01:28:31,601
the meantime thank you For me

2892
01:28:31,601 --> 01:28:32,301
this amendment helps me in

2893
01:28:32,301 --> 01:28:32,969
terms of combining the future

2894
01:28:32,969 --> 01:28:35,369
discretion we're granting So

2895
01:28:36,205 --> 01:28:37,730
I'm happy to support it.

2896
01:28:37,730 --> 01:28:40,376
But to a council I think also

2897
01:28:40,376 --> 01:28:40,943
part of it is the function of

2898
01:28:40,943 --> 01:28:41,577
our committee system.

2899
01:28:41,577 --> 01:28:42,278
Bethany Now you've come to

2900
01:28:42,278 --> 01:28:44,678
the Active Transportation and

2901
01:28:45,447 --> 01:28:46,349
Infrastructure Committee over

2902
01:28:46,349 --> 01:28:47,490
and over to brief us on how

2903
01:28:47,490 --> 01:28:49,449
much where our Transportation

2904
01:28:49,686 --> 01:28:50,219
Department is suffering due to

2905
01:28:50,219 --> 01:28:51,154
lack of revenue.

2906
01:28:51,154 --> 01:28:51,721
So part of it is just we're on

2907
01:28:51,721 --> 01:28:52,288
different committees.

2908
01:28:52,288 --> 01:28:52,889
You have been the most

2909
01:28:52,889 --> 01:28:54,791
transparent department.

2910
01:28:54,791 --> 01:28:55,457
I think we've had in terms of

2911
01:28:55,457 --> 01:28:56,193
my office has experience of

2912
01:28:56,193 --> 01:28:59,193
telling us exactly what's going

2913
01:28:59,961 --> 01:29:00,663
to happen, how many fewer

2914
01:29:00,663 --> 01:29:01,330
potholes, how many more fewer

2915
01:29:01,330 --> 01:29:04,330
miles And I just appreciate

2916
01:29:04,834 --> 01:29:05,501
that very much because it's

2917
01:29:05,501 --> 01:29:05,801
been, you know, sending off

2918
01:29:05,801 --> 01:29:06,502
alarm.

2919
01:29:06,502 --> 01:29:06,869
But we don't have the revenue

2920
01:29:06,869 --> 01:29:08,869
of course.

2921
01:29:08,905 --> 01:29:09,571
But I just want to say for our

2922
01:29:09,571 --> 01:29:10,173
committee you've done a very

2923
01:29:10,173 --> 01:29:10,573
good job being open and

2924
01:29:10,573 --> 01:29:11,274
transparent.

2925
01:29:11,274 --> 01:29:13,709
So maybe when we do the larger

2926
01:29:13,709 --> 01:29:14,310
at full council we can

2927
01:29:14,310 --> 01:29:15,120
highlight that more for

2928
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:15,712
everybody because it's one of

2929
01:29:15,712 --> 01:29:18,614
the most common complaints we

2930
01:29:18,614 --> 01:29:19,182
get is roads and sidewalks And

2931
01:29:19,182 --> 01:29:19,882
you know we do the cip

2932
01:29:19,882 --> 01:29:22,282
monitoring report but there's

2933
01:29:23,853 --> 01:29:24,587
so much in it maybe we can do a

2934
01:29:24,587 --> 01:29:25,221
better job for that my rest of

2935
01:29:25,221 --> 01:29:27,757
the colleagues to see that

2936
01:29:27,757 --> 01:29:28,358
particular portion because you

2937
01:29:28,358 --> 01:29:29,580
guys have been sounding

2938
01:29:29,580 --> 01:29:29,325
the alarm bell So I appreciate

2939
01:29:29,325 --> 01:29:29,692
it.

2940
01:29:29,692 --> 01:29:30,590
All right.

2941
01:29:30,590 --> 01:29:32,590
Thank you.

2942
01:29:32,762 --> 01:29:33,462
Council member Von Wolpert

2943
01:29:33,462 --> 01:29:33,730
Council Member Whitburn Thank

2944
01:29:33,730 --> 01:29:35,730
you.

2945
01:29:37,533 --> 01:29:38,234
>> Council PRESIDENT So we're

2946
01:29:38,234 --> 01:29:38,901
waiting on the Callaway Yes, I

2947
01:29:38,901 --> 01:29:41,901
think I heard you mentioned

2948
01:29:42,972 --> 01:29:43,606
that while Access equity is 1.7

2949
01:29:43,606 --> 01:29:46,606
to the positive right now

2950
01:29:47,544 --> 01:29:50,544
you're seeing less and property

2951
01:29:51,140 --> 01:29:51,514
tax revenue coming in since

2952
01:29:51,514 --> 01:29:52,281
the third quarter.

2953
01:29:52,281 --> 01:29:56,252
But I guess my question is if

2954
01:29:56,252 --> 01:29:59,252
that trend continues and you

2955
01:30:00,790 --> 01:30:01,491
know we end up with a I mean

2956
01:30:01,491 --> 01:30:02,158
sort of negative access to

2957
01:30:02,158 --> 01:30:04,728
equity that's probably not a

2958
01:30:04,728 --> 01:30:08,928
term but would we need to use

2959
01:30:09,632 --> 01:30:10,600
reserves to cover that?

2960
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:11,201
Can you come back and get that

2961
01:30:11,201 --> 01:30:13,937
from us if we're capping

2962
01:30:13,937 --> 01:30:14,237
the 7.4 right here?

2963
01:30:14,237 --> 01:30:14,938
Yeah.

2964
01:30:14,938 --> 01:30:18,538
I think on the property tax

2965
01:30:19,242 --> 01:30:22,242
side major shift there was

2966
01:30:22,646 --> 01:30:23,613
related to our it's not the 1%

2967
01:30:23,613 --> 01:30:27,813
We did get our our final rpi

2968
01:30:29,752 --> 01:30:33,352
etf amount yesterday and it was

2969
01:30:34,357 --> 01:30:36,357
down 2.2 to 2.2 about 200,000

2970
01:30:39,262 --> 01:30:39,963
difference one point it was it

2971
01:30:39,963 --> 01:30:42,699
was slight it's slightly down

2972
01:30:42,699 --> 01:30:43,366
So the change to our third

2973
01:30:43,366 --> 01:30:43,900
quarter projections is down

2974
01:30:43,900 --> 01:30:44,201
about 2 or $300,000.

2975
01:30:44,201 --> 01:30:46,201
Okay.

2976
01:30:47,437 --> 01:30:47,771
Based on what we got yesterday.

2977
01:30:47,771 --> 01:30:48,405
>> Okay.

2978
01:30:48,405 --> 01:30:49,139
So you don't anticipate

2979
01:30:49,139 --> 01:30:52,739
the need to go into reserves

2980
01:30:52,843 --> 01:30:53,143
beyond now for property?

2981
01:30:53,143 --> 01:30:54,100
Okay.

2982
01:30:54,100 --> 01:30:54,711
Well at all I just want to be

2983
01:30:54,711 --> 01:30:57,280
sure that there's a mechanism

2984
01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:00,280
if for whatever reason there's

2985
01:31:00,751 --> 01:31:01,418
a need to dip into reserves

2986
01:31:01,418 --> 01:31:01,918
beyond the 7.4 billion from

2987
01:31:01,918 --> 01:31:02,618
the Callaway Yeah.

2988
01:31:02,618 --> 01:31:05,655
So we have a better mechanism

2989
01:31:05,655 --> 01:31:06,289
to actually do that.

2990
01:31:06,289 --> 01:31:06,923
That's a great question.

2991
01:31:06,923 --> 01:31:09,323
So if council approves

2992
01:31:10,127 --> 01:31:10,927
the action before you now

2993
01:31:10,927 --> 01:31:14,431
that's up to 7.4 million If for

2994
01:31:14,431 --> 01:31:15,298
some reason we do end

2995
01:31:15,298 --> 01:31:18,802
the fiscal year with a deficit

2996
01:31:18,802 --> 01:31:19,469
that's higher than 7.4 million,

2997
01:31:19,469 --> 01:31:20,270
we will need to dip into

2998
01:31:20,270 --> 01:31:23,674
the reserves in order to close

2999
01:31:23,674 --> 01:31:24,374
that we would be bringing that

3000
01:31:24,374 --> 01:31:27,374
information back to council as

3001
01:31:27,578 --> 01:31:28,111
part of the year end financial

3002
01:31:28,111 --> 01:31:28,478
performance report.

3003
01:31:28,478 --> 01:31:29,613
>> Okay.

3004
01:31:29,613 --> 01:31:33,116
So do you be able to get that

3005
01:31:33,116 --> 01:31:33,417
done if necessary?

3006
01:31:33,417 --> 01:31:33,817
Okay.

3007
01:31:33,817 --> 01:31:34,684
Thank you.

3008
01:31:34,684 --> 01:31:37,540
Just wanted to make sure we had

3009
01:31:37,540 --> 01:31:37,487
that mechanism in place All

3010
01:31:37,487 --> 01:31:37,854
right.

3011
01:31:37,854 --> 01:31:38,455
Thank you.

3012
01:31:38,455 --> 01:31:40,455
Council member Whitburn.

3013
01:31:42,826 --> 01:31:43,393
I didn't see any objection to

3014
01:31:43,393 --> 01:31:44,127
the language of that.

3015
01:31:44,127 --> 01:31:44,394
It does reflect what the motion

3016
01:31:44,394 --> 01:31:46,394
is.

3017
01:31:47,130 --> 01:31:47,497
I'll offer a couple of

3018
01:31:47,497 --> 01:31:48,165
thoughts.

3019
01:31:48,165 --> 01:31:51,635
Thank you for the good work

3020
01:31:51,635 --> 01:31:52,369
that you bring forward.

3021
01:31:52,369 --> 01:31:53,270
I'll put on the record that in

3022
01:31:53,270 --> 01:31:55,272
my final budget memo I did

3023
01:31:55,272 --> 01:31:55,906
suggest the 1.7 as kind of a

3024
01:31:55,906 --> 01:31:58,306
mitigation that was wrong.

3025
01:32:00,477 --> 01:32:01,211
I do not support using the 1.7

3026
01:32:01,211 --> 01:32:04,211
identified in the third quarter

3027
01:32:05,382 --> 01:32:06,116
for the budget conversation

3028
01:32:06,116 --> 01:32:09,116
this this afternoon and I

3029
01:32:10,254 --> 01:32:10,954
appreciate how finance and

3030
01:32:10,954 --> 01:32:13,954
the idea has communicated that

3031
01:32:19,963 --> 01:32:20,864
to folks The I also want to

3032
01:32:20,864 --> 01:32:24,464
make a reminder to folks we

3033
01:32:25,202 --> 01:32:25,836
change the summer recess so we

3034
01:32:25,836 --> 01:32:28,836
do come back AUGUST 24th.

3035
01:32:29,373 --> 01:32:30,740
So there is a little bit of an

3036
01:32:30,740 --> 01:32:33,674
opportunity as you began And I

3037
01:32:34,211 --> 01:32:34,879
think you know to the I really

3038
01:32:34,879 --> 01:32:37,279
appreciate that the outloud

3039
01:32:38,782 --> 01:32:39,583
conversation by my colleagues I

3040
01:32:39,583 --> 01:32:40,251
don't we shouldn't be under

3041
01:32:40,251 --> 01:32:40,884
the illusion that what we're

3042
01:32:40,884 --> 01:32:43,621
going to adopt and what we

3043
01:32:43,621 --> 01:32:44,321
adopted in JUNE or what we're

3044
01:32:44,321 --> 01:32:45,220
going to adopt this afternoon

3045
01:32:45,220 --> 01:32:48,220
fully fund the departments and

3046
01:32:48,225 --> 01:32:49,590
the workload they have.

3047
01:32:49,590 --> 01:32:49,660
So right off the bat there is a

3048
01:32:49,660 --> 01:32:51,660
disconnect between what

3049
01:32:52,796 --> 01:32:53,631
the departments are hoping to

3050
01:32:53,631 --> 01:32:54,331
do and the funds they actually

3051
01:32:54,331 --> 01:32:57,331
get allocated and that's what

3052
01:32:57,868 --> 01:32:58,568
we're having to live with

3053
01:32:58,568 --> 01:32:59,202
during areas where we don't

3054
01:32:59,202 --> 01:33:02,173
have the revenue to manage

3055
01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:03,400
the workload going forward.

3056
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:07,240
So and I also as you've often

3057
01:33:07,945 --> 01:33:08,712
reminded us the lag you know it

3058
01:33:08,712 --> 01:33:11,849
would be great to get real time

3059
01:33:11,849 --> 01:33:12,616
information on this.

3060
01:33:12,616 --> 01:33:13,350
It doesn't come in real time.

3061
01:33:13,350 --> 01:33:16,950
There's a lag between when do

3062
01:33:17,321 --> 01:33:18,220
you find out about property tax

3063
01:33:18,220 --> 01:33:21,220
for sales tax or pot?

3064
01:33:21,250 --> 01:33:21,726
You know, we didn't get a third

3065
01:33:21,726 --> 01:33:24,726
quarter report on APRIL 1st

3066
01:33:25,129 --> 01:33:25,863
when the first quarter or

3067
01:33:25,863 --> 01:33:26,196
the third quarter ended the day

3068
01:33:26,196 --> 01:33:26,831
before.

3069
01:33:26,831 --> 01:33:27,231
It takes a while for it to

3070
01:33:27,231 --> 01:33:29,231
figure out.

3071
01:33:29,900 --> 01:33:30,601
So that's the balance That's a

3072
01:33:30,601 --> 01:33:31,235
challenge we have and how you

3073
01:33:31,235 --> 01:33:34,235
communicate with us And it

3074
01:33:34,304 --> 01:33:34,871
really strikes me that

3075
01:33:34,871 --> 01:33:35,539
the public is not here

3076
01:33:35,539 --> 01:33:36,173
listening to this because we

3077
01:33:36,173 --> 01:33:39,376
say all sorts of kinds of

3078
01:33:39,376 --> 01:33:40,143
things that adopting the budget

3079
01:33:40,143 --> 01:33:40,511
this is where the rubber meets

3080
01:33:40,511 --> 01:33:41,212
the road.

3081
01:33:41,212 --> 01:33:44,212
How are we actually performing

3082
01:33:44,749 --> 01:33:48,949
on what we talked about in JUNE

3083
01:33:49,153 --> 01:33:49,887
And at the risk of irritating

3084
01:33:49,887 --> 01:33:50,621
everybody, the one thing that's

3085
01:33:50,621 --> 01:33:53,858
not being talked about out loud

3086
01:33:53,858 --> 01:33:54,626
is that there actually is a

3087
01:33:54,626 --> 01:33:58,129
mitigation for the oas and that

3088
01:33:58,129 --> 01:33:58,729
is to cut 7.4 million out of

3089
01:33:58,729 --> 01:33:59,960
the f y 27 budget this

3090
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:01,960
afternoon.

3091
01:34:02,333 --> 01:34:03,134
I don't think anybody wants to

3092
01:34:03,134 --> 01:34:03,900
talk about that but that would

3093
01:34:03,900 --> 01:34:08,720
be the way to stop the talk

3094
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:08,773
about the reserve is to cut

3095
01:34:08,773 --> 01:34:09,474
that money out And I'm looking

3096
01:34:09,474 --> 01:34:11,242
at you and I'm not looking at

3097
01:34:11,242 --> 01:34:11,943
that because I can imagine

3098
01:34:11,943 --> 01:34:15,543
the looks on their faces going

3099
01:34:15,980 --> 01:34:17,980
forward on that.

3100
01:34:20,885 --> 01:34:21,586
i do want to make sure that

3101
01:34:21,586 --> 01:34:22,253
there is an opportunity to

3102
01:34:22,253 --> 01:34:22,920
the answer that you gave to

3103
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,290
Council member Whitburn that

3104
01:34:25,290 --> 01:34:26,570
there is an opportunity to come

3105
01:34:26,570 --> 01:34:26,858
much earlier to council when

3106
01:34:26,858 --> 01:34:30,458
the numbers start to really be

3107
01:34:31,290 --> 01:34:31,729
manifest and really you start

3108
01:34:31,729 --> 01:34:32,363
to get a handle you'll know

3109
01:34:32,363 --> 01:34:34,832
whether the money came in.

3110
01:34:34,832 --> 01:34:35,600
So there is an opportune to

3111
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:36,301
come back to council and get

3112
01:34:36,301 --> 01:34:38,701
further authorization if that

3113
01:34:40,710 --> 01:34:42,471
is what is necessary.

3114
01:34:44,609 --> 01:34:45,309
So because things could happen

3115
01:34:45,309 --> 01:34:46,440
in the fourth quarter we don't

3116
01:34:46,440 --> 01:34:46,311
have the fourth quarter numbers

3117
01:34:46,311 --> 01:34:46,611
yet.

3118
01:34:46,611 --> 01:34:48,611
Right.

3119
01:34:49,347 --> 01:34:49,981
You have probably a little bit

3120
01:34:49,981 --> 01:34:50,582
sense because you guys are

3121
01:34:50,582 --> 01:34:51,249
pretty smart but that's

3122
01:34:51,249 --> 01:34:51,583
the challenge we have going

3123
01:34:51,583 --> 01:34:53,583
forward.

3124
01:34:54,452 --> 01:34:54,986
So I think everybody on

3125
01:34:54,986 --> 01:34:55,687
the operations side,

3126
01:34:55,687 --> 01:34:58,623
the Department of Finance side

3127
01:34:58,623 --> 01:34:59,357
and the council is doing

3128
01:34:59,357 --> 01:35:00,910
the best with the challenges we

3129
01:35:00,910 --> 01:35:03,127
have in front of us and trying

3130
01:35:03,127 --> 01:35:03,828
to do that delicate balance

3131
01:35:03,828 --> 01:35:07,428
because we do have so many

3132
01:35:08,166 --> 01:35:08,800
needs that our constituents

3133
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:09,534
whether it's libraries and

3134
01:35:09,534 --> 01:35:10,268
parks, whether it's stormwater,

3135
01:35:10,268 --> 01:35:13,268
whether it's everything else in

3136
01:35:13,371 --> 01:35:14,172
between and we're trying to

3137
01:35:14,172 --> 01:35:17,475
figure out a way to do the best

3138
01:35:17,475 --> 01:35:18,243
we can with those resources

3139
01:35:18,243 --> 01:35:18,776
still meet a balanced budget at

3140
01:35:18,776 --> 01:35:21,776
the end of the day.

3141
01:35:22,780 --> 01:35:23,214
So I think that's part of

3142
01:35:23,214 --> 01:35:23,948
the challenge.

3143
01:35:23,948 --> 01:35:27,548
I really want to emphasize what

3144
01:35:27,586 --> 01:35:28,186
you produced on Slide four

3145
01:35:28,186 --> 01:35:28,886
which was the mitigation

3146
01:35:28,886 --> 01:35:31,886
measures that were taken in

3147
01:35:33,580 --> 01:35:33,658
the operational changes I think

3148
01:35:33,658 --> 01:35:34,326
to some of my colleagues

3149
01:35:34,326 --> 01:35:36,861
questions about when do you

3150
01:35:36,861 --> 01:35:37,562
begin to realize there are some

3151
01:35:37,562 --> 01:35:40,562
problems and what actions are

3152
01:35:41,900 --> 01:35:42,600
you taking to try to minimize

3153
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,600
the financial impact of those

3154
01:35:46,571 --> 01:35:46,905
and begin to send a clear

3155
01:35:46,905 --> 01:35:47,639
message?

3156
01:35:47,639 --> 01:35:48,340
I know for me I got

3157
01:35:48,340 --> 01:35:50,740
the transportation memo I

3158
01:35:51,475 --> 01:35:52,210
wasn't happy with it.

3159
01:35:52,210 --> 01:35:53,780
I asked for an explanation.

3160
01:35:53,780 --> 01:35:56,140
I'm not happy with that But I

3161
01:35:56,140 --> 01:35:56,815
understood that and supportive

3162
01:35:56,815 --> 01:36:01,150
of why that memo had to come

3163
01:36:01,252 --> 01:36:01,619
out, why those actions need to

3164
01:36:01,619 --> 01:36:02,153
be taken.

3165
01:36:02,153 --> 01:36:02,888
But that's the hard

3166
01:36:02,888 --> 01:36:05,888
conversations that we all have.

3167
01:36:06,391 --> 01:36:06,825
I think we all understand we

3168
01:36:06,825 --> 01:36:07,759
all own it.

3169
01:36:07,759 --> 01:36:10,280
So I'm a little bit nervous

3170
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:10,729
about putting the 7.4 but I

3171
01:36:10,729 --> 01:36:13,129
understand I'll be supportive

3172
01:36:15,267 --> 01:36:16,340
of it today or for this vote.

3173
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:16,635
But thank you for the good work

3174
01:36:16,635 --> 01:36:18,635
and navigating all

3175
01:36:20,505 --> 01:36:21,139
the challenges we have and

3176
01:36:21,139 --> 01:36:24,139
we'll go to Council member

3177
01:36:24,576 --> 01:36:25,443
Foster Oh yes.

3178
01:36:25,443 --> 01:36:26,144
I just wanted to add an

3179
01:36:26,144 --> 01:36:29,144
additional comment As we were

3180
01:36:29,447 --> 01:36:30,148
talking about the excess equity

3181
01:36:30,148 --> 01:36:30,748
in the 1.7 I think if I

3182
01:36:30,748 --> 01:36:32,748
understand your comments

3183
01:36:34,519 --> 01:36:37,519
Council PRESIDENT I do have

3184
01:36:38,957 --> 01:36:39,257
concern about the excess equity

3185
01:36:39,257 --> 01:36:40,225
.

3186
01:36:40,225 --> 01:36:44,425
I would like to see it actually

3187
01:36:44,729 --> 01:36:45,430
go to our our reserves As we

3188
01:36:45,430 --> 01:36:48,430
colleague just said, you know,

3189
01:36:48,767 --> 01:36:49,534
we have not allocated dollars

3190
01:36:49,534 --> 01:36:53,134
to our reserves over the past

3191
01:36:57,910 --> 01:36:58,877
couple of of cycles and also

3192
01:36:58,877 --> 01:37:03,480
just knowing that as we look at

3193
01:37:03,480 --> 01:37:06,648
future years we have a deficit

3194
01:37:07,186 --> 01:37:08,530
that we will have to address

3195
01:37:08,530 --> 01:37:12,224
And I think at some point we

3196
01:37:12,224 --> 01:37:15,793
really need to to dive in as we

3197
01:37:15,793 --> 01:37:16,696
look at this fiscal year and

3198
01:37:16,696 --> 01:37:17,362
really in 28 and 29 I think

3199
01:37:17,362 --> 01:37:20,962
it's the more that we can

3200
01:37:21,432 --> 01:37:22,134
secure and hold back And I say

3201
01:37:22,134 --> 01:37:25,134
that during this budget cycle

3202
01:37:25,637 --> 01:37:26,171
as revenues increased we still

3203
01:37:26,171 --> 01:37:28,571
like to increase our

3204
01:37:30,576 --> 01:37:31,343
expenditures where we need to

3205
01:37:31,343 --> 01:37:32,440
to manage that a little better

3206
01:37:32,440 --> 01:37:35,644
and hone in our core services.

3207
01:37:36,282 --> 01:37:39,384
So I, I actually like that idea

3208
01:37:39,384 --> 01:37:40,850
of this 1.7 and moving it over

3209
01:37:40,850 --> 01:37:43,850
to two reserves if everything

3210
01:37:43,956 --> 01:37:44,256
works and comes in right So All

3211
01:37:44,256 --> 01:37:44,757
right.

3212
01:37:44,757 --> 01:37:45,424
Thank you sir.

3213
01:37:45,424 --> 01:37:47,824
Nothing Anybody else on

3214
01:37:48,661 --> 01:37:51,864
the lights We do have a motion

3215
01:37:51,864 --> 01:37:52,563
by council member Foster second

3216
01:37:52,563 --> 01:37:53,199
by council member Morena which

3217
01:37:53,199 --> 01:37:55,599
is staff recommendation as

3218
01:37:57,202 --> 01:37:57,836
amended and as shown on

3219
01:37:57,836 --> 01:38:00,836
the screen and not seeing

3220
01:38:01,507 --> 01:38:02,740

the cip budget adjustments.

3288
01:39:57,623 --> 01:40:00,230
Of the new appropriations

3289
01:40:01,394 --> 01:40:02,610
the largest amounts come from

3290
01:40:02,610 --> 01:40:02,762
the development impact fees

3291
01:40:02,762 --> 01:40:05,162
Transnet and interest earnings

3292
01:40:06,666 --> 01:40:07,433
on a sip Related grant.

3293
01:40:07,433 --> 01:40:10,433
For the transfers the largest

3294
01:40:10,770 --> 01:40:11,537
amounts come from the rtc ip

3295
01:40:11,537 --> 01:40:15,137
fund in the San Diego Regional

3296
01:40:15,975 --> 01:40:16,543
Parks Improvement Fund.

3297
01:40:16,543 --> 01:40:17,177
>> For several years

3298
01:40:17,177 --> 01:40:19,577
the Department of Finance,

3299
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:21,347
Transportation and Engineering

3300
01:40:21,347 --> 01:40:22,470
Capital Projects departments

3301
01:40:22,470 --> 01:40:22,616
have been working together to

3302
01:40:22,616 --> 01:40:24,616
monitor and prioritize

3303
01:40:25,985 --> 01:40:26,552
the spend down of Transnet

3304
01:40:26,552 --> 01:40:27,219
funds held at sandag.

3305
01:40:27,219 --> 01:40:29,619
Based upon current estimated

3306
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:31,724
revenues for the fiscal year,

3307
01:40:31,724 --> 01:40:32,357
it is anticipated that both

3308
01:40:32,357 --> 01:40:34,757
the congestion relief and

3309
01:40:35,995 --> 01:40:36,629
maintenance transit funds will

3310
01:40:36,629 --> 01:40:37,197
likely have available fund

3311
01:40:37,197 --> 01:40:37,664
balance at the end of

3312
01:40:37,664 --> 01:40:39,664
the fiscal year.

3313
01:40:40,700 --> 01:40:41,434
These requests are included as

3314
01:40:41,434 --> 01:40:44,434
part of the consolidated action

3315
01:40:45,305 --> 01:40:46,390
item of this report.

3316
01:40:46,390 --> 01:40:49,639
This graph shows where the city

3317
01:40:50,409 --> 01:40:51,440
earns and compares to other

3318
01:40:51,440 --> 01:40:51,611
agencies participating in

3319
01:40:51,611 --> 01:40:53,611
the Transnet program.

3320
01:40:54,547 --> 01:40:55,314
As of MARCH 31st, 2026 which

3321
01:40:55,314 --> 01:40:58,314
shows our Transnet cash balance

3322
01:40:59,186 --> 01:40:59,653
is about 100% of projected

3323
01:40:59,653 --> 01:41:00,353
annual revenue.

3324
01:41:00,353 --> 01:41:02,353
The Transportation Department

3325
01:41:04,257 --> 01:41:04,924
currently estimates that

3326
01:41:04,924 --> 01:41:05,625
the Transnet extension cash

3327
01:41:05,625 --> 01:41:08,662
balance held at sandag will be

3328
01:41:08,662 --> 01:41:09,362
approximately $39 million by

3329
01:41:09,362 --> 01:41:11,362
JUNE 30th, 2026, representing

3330
01:41:13,433 --> 01:41:13,900
approximately 81% of the city's

3331
01:41:13,900 --> 01:41:14,601
annual revenue.

3332
01:41:14,601 --> 01:41:18,201
The city continues to try and

3333
01:41:19,106 --> 01:41:19,706
maintain low cash balances held

3334
01:41:19,706 --> 01:41:20,373
at sandag and has been

3335
01:41:20,373 --> 01:41:22,773
consistently among the lower

3336
01:41:23,710 --> 01:41:24,477
municipalities among others in

3337
01:41:24,477 --> 01:41:27,477
the region to participate in

3338
01:41:27,981 --> 01:41:28,750
the program.

3339
01:41:28,750 --> 01:41:29,482
The Department of Finance works

3340
01:41:29,482 --> 01:41:31,882
closely with the Transportation

3341
01:41:33,686 --> 01:41:34,354
Department to monitor and

3342
01:41:34,354 --> 01:41:34,955
maximize the use of gas tech

3343
01:41:34,955 --> 01:41:37,955
funding for right of way

3344
01:41:38,392 --> 01:41:39,920
maintenance and improvements.

3345
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:39,693
Both are volatile funding

3346
01:41:39,693 --> 01:41:42,930
sources as revenues can

3347
01:41:42,596 --> 01:41:43,363
fluctuate depending both on

3348
01:41:43,363 --> 01:41:43,830
the price of gas as well as

3349
01:41:43,830 --> 01:41:45,830
consumer demand.

3350
01:41:47,534 --> 01:41:48,235
So we will continue to monitor

3351
01:41:48,235 --> 01:41:48,836
through the end of the fiscal

3352
01:41:48,836 --> 01:41:51,236
year based upon current

3353
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:53,173
estimated revenues.

3354
01:41:53,173 --> 01:41:53,874
It is anticipated that gas tax

3355
01:41:53,874 --> 01:41:56,874
and armory funds MAY have

3356
01:41:57,900 --> 01:41:57,678
available fund balance at

3357
01:41:57,678 --> 01:41:58,445
the end of the fiscal year.

3358
01:41:58,445 --> 01:42:02,490
The gas tax is proposing to use

3359
01:42:02,490 --> 01:42:02,949
the anticipated fund balance as

3360
01:42:02,949 --> 01:42:03,483
part of a 426 as part of this

3361
01:42:03,483 --> 01:42:05,483
consolidated action.

3362
01:42:06,787 --> 01:42:09,787
This report while the Armory

3363
01:42:10,991 --> 01:42:11,758

>> The Department of Finance

3367
01:42:20,670 --> 01:42:20,734
also works with engineering

3368
01:42:20,734 --> 01:42:21,468
capital projects and various

3369
01:42:21,468 --> 01:42:23,868
asset management departments to

3370
01:42:24,505 --> 01:42:25,206
propose the best uses for

3371
01:42:25,206 --> 01:42:25,606
the general Fund contributions

3372
01:42:25,606 --> 01:42:28,600

and climate Equity funds.

3375
01:42:34,140 --> 01:42:34,647
This table shows the expected

3376
01:42:34,647 --> 01:42:35,282
uncommitted fund balances

3377
01:42:35,282 --> 01:42:35,749
anticipated at the end of

3378
01:42:35,749 --> 01:42:37,749
the fiscal year.

3379
01:42:39,319 --> 01:42:40,200
The infrastructure fund is

3380
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:40,687
proposed to absorb additional

3381
01:42:40,687 --> 01:42:44,287
debt service as part of this

3382
01:42:44,391 --> 01:42:45,250

alone.

3414
01:43:46,987 --> 01:43:47,655
Many projects have not entered

3415
01:43:47,655 --> 01:43:50,550
into the construction phase

3416
01:43:50,324 --> 01:43:51,240
which is when we will see

3417
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:54,624
the spend down really start to

3418
01:43:54,895 --> 01:43:55,563
ramp up.

3419
01:43:55,563 --> 01:43:57,563
>> Shifting gears to

Appropriation ordinance

3424
01:44:04,705 --> 01:44:07,705
authorizes the cfo to modify

3425
01:44:08,709 --> 01:44:09,310
project appropriations for

3426
01:44:09,310 --> 01:44:09,944
various fund or project

3427
01:44:09,944 --> 01:44:11,944
management purposes under

3428
01:44:13,581 --> 01:44:14,114
certain conditions.

3429
01:44:14,114 --> 01:44:14,848
These administrative

3430
01:44:14,848 --> 01:44:16,848
authorities create efficiencies

3431
01:44:18,190 --> 01:44:18,753
across departments by saving

3432
01:44:18,753 --> 01:44:19,387
time and helping to promote and

3433
01:44:19,387 --> 01:44:20,210
implement cash management

3434
01:44:20,210 --> 01:44:22,421
strategies in the capital

3435
01:44:23,191 --> 01:44:23,925
program.

3436
01:44:23,925 --> 01:44:24,558
Wanted to take this opportunity

3437
01:44:24,558 --> 01:44:27,695
to highlight just a few of

3438
01:44:27,695 --> 01:44:28,362
the various sections used

3439
01:44:28,362 --> 01:44:29,300
during the second and third

3440
01:44:29,300 --> 01:44:32,300
quarters of the fiscal year.

3441
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:33,601
There are additional details

3442
01:44:33,601 --> 01:44:34,100
and examples included in

3443
01:44:34,100 --> 01:44:36,100
the report.

3444
01:44:37,772 --> 01:44:38,472
Section 235 authorizes the cfo

3445
01:44:38,472 --> 01:44:39,240
to transfer and appropriate a

3446
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,640
maximum of $200,000 per project

3447
01:44:43,410 --> 01:44:44,111
not to exceed 10% of

3448
01:44:44,111 --> 01:44:45,813
the project budget from annual

3449
01:44:45,813 --> 01:44:48,813
allocations or fund balance in

3450
01:44:51,185 --> 01:44:51,886
order to complete the project.

3451
01:44:51,886 --> 01:44:53,886
>> Section 237 authorizes

3452
01:44:55,823 --> 01:44:56,491
the cfo to swap revenues

3453
01:44:56,491 --> 01:44:57,158
sources between projects as

3454
01:44:57,158 --> 01:45:00,158
long as the reallocations do

3455
01:45:01,950 --> 01:45:01,462
not result in a net project

3456
01:45:01,462 --> 01:45:02,960
increase.

3457
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:02,663
This authority was used to

3458
01:45:02,663 --> 01:45:04,663
provide effective cash

3459
01:45:06,533 --> 01:45:07,268
management and ensure

3460
01:45:07,268 --> 01:45:10,705
the funding was spent on timely

3461
01:45:10,705 --> 01:45:11,339
while also ensuring items that

3462
01:45:11,339 --> 01:45:12,600
could not be financed were

3463
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,406
appropriately funded by cash

3464
01:45:14,642 --> 01:45:16,642
funding sources.

3465
01:45:20,815 --> 01:45:21,516
Section two caa authorized

3466
01:45:21,516 --> 01:45:24,486
the cfo to appropriate revenue

3467
01:45:24,486 --> 01:45:25,186
sources to projects from fund

3468
01:45:25,186 --> 01:45:28,186
balance and to return existing

3469
01:45:29,157 --> 01:45:29,891
revenue sources to fund balance

3470
01:45:29,891 --> 01:45:30,625
within the same capital project

3471
01:45:30,625 --> 01:45:34,225
where the net change in funding

3472
01:45:34,396 --> 01:45:34,963
does not result in a net change

3473
01:45:34,963 --> 01:45:35,597
to the project budget.

3474
01:45:35,597 --> 01:45:38,597
This authority was used to

3475
01:45:39,234 --> 01:45:40,340
spend on older funding sources

3476
01:45:40,340 --> 01:45:40,635
or to keep the right mix of

3477
01:45:40,635 --> 01:45:41,603
funding sources between

3478
01:45:41,603 --> 01:45:44,603
the public utility funds for

3479
01:45:47,175 --> 01:45:47,808
their projects.

3480
01:45:47,808 --> 01:45:49,808
>> Section 239 authorizes

3481
01:45:51,913 --> 01:45:52,614
the cfo to modify capital

3482
01:45:52,614 --> 01:45:53,314
project budgets in accordance

3483
01:45:53,314 --> 01:45:56,314
with the City Council approved

3484
01:45:56,951 --> 01:45:57,752
financing plans.

3485
01:45:57,752 --> 01:45:58,420
As we move away from community

3486
01:45:58,420 --> 01:46:01,420
based if enough space this

3487
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:02,791
particular Aota will likely be

3488
01:46:02,791 --> 01:46:06,161
used less and less each year.

3489
01:46:06,161 --> 01:46:06,828
Section two 312 was used to

3490
01:46:06,828 --> 01:46:09,228
appropriate older funds that

3491
01:46:10,531 --> 01:46:11,265
are being targeted for closing

3492
01:46:11,265 --> 01:46:11,932
as they no longer receive

3493
01:46:11,932 --> 01:46:14,332
revenue other than interest

3494
01:46:15,437 --> 01:46:16,370
earnings.

3495
01:46:16,370 --> 01:46:18,770
Section two c 15 authorizes

3496
01:46:19,874 --> 01:46:20,508
the cfo to modify

3497
01:46:20,508 --> 01:46:21,208
the accounting of capital

3498
01:46:21,208 --> 01:46:23,208
improvements program projects

3499
01:46:24,946 --> 01:46:25,580
to ensure the use of the most

3500
01:46:25,580 --> 01:46:27,580
appropriate project type.

3501
01:46:28,650 --> 01:46:29,184
Section two c 16 similar in

3502
01:46:29,184 --> 01:46:29,884
that it also allows

3503
01:46:29,884 --> 01:46:31,386
the conversion if the project

3504
01:46:31,386 --> 01:46:34,386
meets the thresholds to become

3505
01:46:36,391 --> 01:46:37,126
a standalone project.

3506
01:46:37,126 --> 01:46:37,759
So in conclusion this report

3507
01:46:37,759 --> 01:46:40,159
request the allocation or

3508
01:46:42,130 --> 01:46:42,631
transfer funds between projects

3509
01:46:42,631 --> 01:46:44,631
of $69.9 million.

3510
01:46:46,935 --> 01:46:47,436
We continue to have success in

3511
01:46:47,436 --> 01:46:48,300
the spend down of

3512
01:46:48,300 --> 01:46:50,300
transportation funds,

3513
01:46:51,173 --> 01:46:51,540
infrastructure funds and bond

3514
01:46:51,540 --> 01:46:52,207
proceeds.

3515
01:46:52,207 --> 01:46:52,941
The successes attributed to

3516
01:46:52,941 --> 01:46:55,341
various cash management efforts

3517
01:46:55,877 --> 01:46:56,511
and a strong collaboration

3518
01:46:56,511 --> 01:46:57,179
between the Department of

3519
01:46:57,179 --> 01:46:59,179
Finance Engineering Capital

3520
01:47:00,848 --> 01:47:01,449
projects and various asset

3521
01:47:01,449 --> 01:47:02,830
management departments.

3522
01:47:02,830 --> 01:47:04,483
Look forward to continuing

3523
01:47:05,554 --> 01:47:06,255
discussions on improving

3524
01:47:06,255 --> 01:47:06,822
the delivery of infrastructure

3525
01:47:06,822 --> 01:47:09,222
in the capital program

3526
01:47:09,858 --> 01:47:10,559
providing effective cash

3527
01:47:10,559 --> 01:47:11,159
management of the program and

3528
01:47:11,159 --> 01:47:13,159
increasing transparency.

3529
01:47:14,830 --> 01:47:15,497
This effective cash manager is

3530
01:47:15,497 --> 01:47:16,164
important given our limited

3531
01:47:16,164 --> 01:47:18,564
resources and constraints to

3532
01:47:19,434 --> 01:47:20,268
the capital program.

3533
01:47:20,268 --> 01:47:20,869
>> Can be happy to answer any

3534
01:47:20,869 --> 01:47:21,235
questions you MAY have.

3535
01:47:21,235 --> 01:47:23,235
All right.

3536
01:47:25,700 --> 01:47:25,340
Thank you for the presentation

3537
01:47:25,340 --> 01:47:25,707
.

3538
01:47:25,707 --> 01:47:26,800
Good work.

3539
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:26,408
Um.

3540
01:47:26,408 --> 01:47:28,408
No report.

3541
01:47:29,778 --> 01:47:30,446
I'm okay with that.

3542
01:47:30,446 --> 01:47:30,913
>> Clerk Please proceed with

3543
01:47:30,913 --> 01:47:31,279
public comment.

Thank you.

3545
01:47:31,980 --> 01:47:35,170
Mac Schmidt if you can please

3546
01:47:35,170 --> 01:47:35,684
come up to the podium after

3547
01:47:35,684 --> 01:47:36,485
that will be Joyce Senator.

3548
01:47:36,485 --> 01:47:38,487
>> You can please come up to

3549
01:47:38,487 --> 01:47:40,887
the other reserved seats.

3550
01:47:44,326 --> 01:47:44,960
How much time do I have?

3551
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:45,994
>> One and a half.

3552
01:47:45,994 --> 01:47:48,898
I just wanted to say that this

3553
01:47:48,898 --> 01:47:49,531
PowerPoint is the perfect

3554
01:47:49,531 --> 01:47:50,232
presentation of how demon

3555
01:47:50,232 --> 01:47:52,632
possessed progressives work to

3556
01:47:53,436 --> 01:47:53,837
try to create a one world

3557
01:47:53,837 --> 01:47:54,503
government.

3558
01:47:54,503 --> 01:47:56,503
They've got $100,000 they're

3559
01:47:58,207 --> 01:47:58,907
allocating for the Balboa Park

3560
01:47:58,907 --> 01:48:02,507
Mission Bay or the Mission Bay

3561
01:48:03,145 --> 01:48:03,846
Golf course and then on their

3562
01:48:03,846 --> 01:48:04,412
conclusion they put continued

3563
01:48:04,412 --> 01:48:06,412
success spending down

3564
01:48:08,317 --> 01:48:09,170
transportation cost.

3565
01:48:09,170 --> 01:48:12,170
So they just basically spend

3566
01:48:13,322 --> 01:48:14,123
money and say we have continued

3567
01:48:14,123 --> 01:48:14,456
success and I don't trust these

3568
01:48:14,456 --> 01:48:15,124
people.

3569
01:48:15,124 --> 01:48:15,824
And the reason I don't trust

3570
01:48:15,824 --> 01:48:18,561
these people is because I just

3571
01:48:18,561 --> 01:48:19,228
want to open Pandora's Box into

3572
01:48:19,228 --> 01:48:19,694
the entire population knows

3573
01:48:19,694 --> 01:48:21,694
what's going on.

3574
01:48:23,299 --> 01:48:23,999
A group rituals are so inside

3575
01:48:23,999 --> 01:48:26,999
the Masonic Lodge are so

3576
01:48:27,703 --> 01:48:28,404
powerful that it allows these

3577
01:48:28,404 --> 01:48:29,710
people to teleport and become

3578
01:48:29,710 --> 01:48:32,710
possessed by demons And then

3579
01:48:32,374 --> 01:48:33,750
the demons command them to

3580
01:48:33,750 --> 01:48:33,709
create a one world government

3581
01:48:33,709 --> 01:48:34,900
And that's what's going on

3582
01:48:34,900 --> 01:48:36,900
here.

3583
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:38,714
All these people are sipping to

3584
01:48:38,714 --> 01:48:42,217
Satan in the Masonic Lodge and

3585
01:48:42,217 --> 01:48:42,818
they basically live for occult

3586
01:48:42,818 --> 01:48:43,519
group rituals where they

3587
01:48:43,519 --> 01:48:46,519
sacrifice humans in the lodge

3588
01:48:47,456 --> 01:48:48,124
in come possessed by demons to

3589
01:48:48,124 --> 01:48:48,724
be like a living GOD to

3590
01:48:48,724 --> 01:48:49,290
the point where they can

3591
01:48:49,290 --> 01:48:51,690
teleport around and to

3592
01:48:51,893 --> 01:48:52,595
the point where they can

3593
01:48:52,595 --> 01:48:53,296
reincarnate and then state and

3594
01:48:53,296 --> 01:48:53,796
commands them to create a one

3595
01:48:53,796 --> 01:48:55,796
world government.

3596
01:48:57,199 --> 01:48:57,900
They get together and say All

3597
01:48:57,900 --> 01:48:58,501
right, let's create a one word

3598
01:48:58,501 --> 01:49:00,501
government $100,000 for

3599
01:49:01,504 --> 01:49:02,305
the baseball park golf course

3600
01:49:02,305 --> 01:49:03,600
that we can just steal from

3601
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:03,673
the people to make them poorer

3602
01:49:03,673 --> 01:49:04,307
and then we can just put on

3603
01:49:04,307 --> 01:49:06,876
the end of the PowerPoint.

3604
01:49:06,876 --> 01:49:07,543
Conclusion in continued success

3605
01:49:07,543 --> 01:49:08,277
Spending down transportation

3606
01:49:08,277 --> 01:49:11,613
cost to make it seem like we're

3607
01:49:11,613 --> 01:49:12,470
doing a good job this is an

3608
01:49:12,470 --> 01:49:12,748
embarrassment.

3609
01:49:12,748 --> 01:49:13,448
Shame on all of you And that's

3610
01:49:13,448 --> 01:49:15,848
disgusting that you teleporter

3611
01:49:16,486 --> 01:49:17,486
and you should drive cars

3612
01:49:17,486 --> 01:49:21,860
tracing out if you can please

3613
01:49:22,910 --> 01:49:22,658
come forward.

3614
01:49:22,658 --> 01:49:24,658
>> Thank you.

3615
01:49:26,996 --> 01:49:27,296
Is a sign?

3616
01:49:27,296 --> 01:49:27,597
Yes.

3617
01:49:27,597 --> 01:49:27,963
Okay.

3618
01:49:27,963 --> 01:49:29,963
Thank you.

3619
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Thank you for your presentation

3620
01:49:36,639 --> 01:49:37,306
And these Skype projects and

3621
01:49:37,306 --> 01:49:40,306
the resources and the whole

3622
01:49:41,409 --> 01:49:42,145
area is just so big and so

3623
01:49:42,145 --> 01:49:45,145
complex And I really appreciate

3624
01:49:45,982 --> 01:49:50,182
the way you worked with it and

3625
01:49:50,219 --> 01:49:50,820
how you showed us pieces of it.

3626
01:49:50,820 --> 01:49:51,554
So we certainly need

3627
01:49:51,554 --> 01:49:53,954
collaboration and monitoring of

3628
01:49:55,558 --> 01:49:56,359
the funds and the projects And

3629
01:49:56,359 --> 01:49:59,562
I know and I know you're doing

3630
01:49:59,562 --> 01:50:00,630
your best to make that happen

3631
01:50:00,630 --> 01:50:00,830
for the public.

3632
01:50:00,830 --> 01:50:04,430
So I want to talk about

3633
01:50:04,700 --> 01:50:05,668
the structural budget deficit.

3634
01:50:05,668 --> 01:50:09,539
What I want you to do is to

3635
01:50:09,539 --> 01:50:13,139
speak to that on every single

3636
01:50:14,243 --> 01:50:15,111
critical item, bring it to

3637
01:50:15,111 --> 01:50:19,282
the table and look at it and

3638
01:50:19,282 --> 01:50:22,282
incorporate it into what we

3639
01:50:24,287 --> 01:50:25,540
need to do, what we are doing

3640
01:50:25,540 --> 01:50:25,522
in both the long term and

3641
01:50:25,522 --> 01:50:27,522
the short term.

3642
01:50:28,958 --> 01:50:29,826
Of course the long term is very

3643
01:50:29,826 --> 01:50:33,529
critical And I want to say this

3644
01:50:33,529 --> 01:50:37,129
we need an officially we need

3645
01:50:38,701 --> 01:50:41,701
an officially adopted plan to

3646
01:50:42,972 --> 01:50:43,907
return to structural balance.

3647
01:50:43,907 --> 01:50:48,770
We must bring this to the table

3648
01:50:48,770 --> 01:50:52,277
now not next year not long will

3649
01:50:52,982 --> 01:50:53,850
will take long term and we'll

3650
01:50:53,850 --> 01:50:58,200
speak to it and bring it up in

3651
01:50:58,200 --> 01:50:58,521
two years And thank you for

3652
01:50:58,521 --> 01:50:59,256
that kind of tool.

3653
01:50:59,256 --> 01:50:59,888
>> I've started the five minute

3654
01:50:59,888 --> 01:51:00,489
time We're going to those

3655
01:51:00,489 --> 01:51:02,489
participating remotely.

3656
01:51:05,628 --> 01:51:05,945
Hector if you can please unmute

3657
01:51:05,945 --> 01:51:06,263
.

3658
01:51:06,263 --> 01:51:06,896
Thanks.

3659
01:51:06,896 --> 01:51:07,530
They're one of the biggest

3660
01:51:07,530 --> 01:51:10,530
danger facing is the water

3661
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:11,467
program so we should have

3662
01:51:11,467 --> 01:51:14,467
updates on that every month.

3663
01:51:15,538 --> 01:51:16,205
How much is going to cost?

3664
01:51:16,205 --> 01:51:19,205
What are the billion dollar

3665
01:51:20,343 --> 01:51:21,100
cost overruns like

3666
01:51:21,100 --> 01:51:24,100
the railroad, the high speed

3667
01:51:24,914 --> 01:51:25,615
rail, huge overruns and

3668
01:51:25,615 --> 01:51:29,215
the city of San Diego biggest

3669
01:51:29,753 --> 01:51:30,353
fear The biggest thing we got

3670
01:51:30,353 --> 01:51:30,987
going I think now is

3671
01:51:30,987 --> 01:51:33,387
financially the long term

3672
01:51:34,658 --> 01:51:35,525
overruns of that project.

3673
01:51:35,525 --> 01:51:35,826
We've got to do it month by

3674
01:51:35,826 --> 01:51:37,826
month.

3675
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:39,796
There's going to be some big

3676
01:51:39,796 --> 01:51:43,396
time extra bills come And so

3677
01:51:43,567 --> 01:51:44,333
that's one thing we could do

3678
01:51:44,333 --> 01:51:47,333
and then we should definitely

3679
01:51:48,972 --> 01:51:49,639
fund the SlutWalk and maybe Max

3680
01:51:49,639 --> 01:51:50,440
could be the grand marshal.

3681
01:51:50,440 --> 01:51:54,400
We could do it to raise

3682
01:51:54,440 --> 01:51:54,911
the money for the sewer plant

3683
01:51:54,911 --> 01:51:59,820
that we got to build However we

3684
01:51:59,820 --> 01:51:59,783
get the money, the design we're

3685
01:51:59,783 --> 01:52:03,153
going to build big spats down

3686
01:52:03,153 --> 01:52:03,954
there like big sized swimming

3687
01:52:03,954 --> 01:52:07,824
pools down there to hold it and

3688
01:52:07,824 --> 01:52:12,240
to treat it So but anyway, just

3689
01:52:12,529 --> 01:52:13,330
keep it simple And then when

3690
01:52:13,330 --> 01:52:14,970
you're trying to figure out how

3691
01:52:14,970 --> 01:52:16,833
how it's not working out, tell

3692
01:52:16,833 --> 01:52:19,233
them one excuses Hey,

3693
01:52:21,380 --> 01:52:21,672
the mayors in the Philippines

3694
01:52:21,672 --> 01:52:23,672
spending $450,000 and he's

3695
01:52:26,430 --> 01:52:26,743
taken the budget and it's like

3696
01:52:26,743 --> 01:52:30,343
the let them eat cake budget

3697
01:52:30,781 --> 01:52:31,482
Let's de-fund everything and

3698
01:52:31,482 --> 01:52:35,820
then just let them eat cake.

3699
01:52:35,152 --> 01:52:35,852
Well that's you blame it on

3700
01:52:35,852 --> 01:52:36,553
the mayor where he's in France

3701
01:52:36,553 --> 01:52:40,153
and stuff goes to France and

3702
01:52:41,725 --> 01:52:42,426
takes the money Thank you.

3703
01:52:42,426 --> 01:52:43,260
>> Your time is concluded.

3704
01:52:43,260 --> 01:52:45,629

3707
01:52:50,100 --> 01:52:53,700
the city items is a real

3708
01:52:54,700 --> 01:52:54,771
important revenue It has its

3709
01:52:54,771 --> 01:52:58,371
own plate of revenue that it

3710
01:52:59,376 --> 01:53:00,770
can work from Good Look how

3711
01:53:00,770 --> 01:53:02,477
we're reviewing such concepts

3712
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:03,680
at each department can be

3713
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:04,448
creating their own revenue.

3714
01:53:04,448 --> 01:53:07,448
We talked about that yesterday

3715
01:53:08,151 --> 01:53:11,151
with the waste manager solid

3716
01:53:12,856 --> 01:53:13,557
waste management issues and

3717
01:53:13,557 --> 01:53:16,557
that should be hopefully a

3718
01:53:17,527 --> 01:53:18,262
regular conversation to have.

3719
01:53:18,262 --> 01:53:18,963
You know each department having

3720
01:53:18,963 --> 01:53:21,963
its own revenue source source

3721
01:53:22,266 --> 01:53:23,133
where it comes from.

3722
01:53:23,133 --> 01:53:23,901
So thank you for the work of

3723
01:53:23,901 --> 01:53:26,937
this department what you can be

3724
01:53:26,937 --> 01:53:30,537
doing It's important to me to

3725
01:53:31,375 --> 01:53:32,900
really note that in your

3726
01:53:32,900 --> 01:53:34,409
procurement for all these

3727
01:53:36,470 --> 01:53:36,780
projects coming up in the next

3728
01:53:36,780 --> 01:53:37,448
few years when you include tech

3729
01:53:37,448 --> 01:53:39,848
tech accountability in that

3730
01:53:41,180 --> 01:53:41,752
procurement process it makes

3731
01:53:41,752 --> 01:53:42,419
something really clear to other

3732
01:53:42,419 --> 01:53:45,419
cities that you're trying to

3733
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:47,691
talk with or to other you know

3734
01:53:47,691 --> 01:53:50,691
or cities or corporations or

3735
01:53:51,295 --> 01:53:52,196

the future San Diego And when

3739
01:53:57,435 --> 01:54:00,471
you when you put that into

3740
01:54:00,471 --> 01:54:01,380
the tech accountability into

3741
01:54:01,380 --> 01:54:01,739
the process it it does

3742
01:54:01,739 --> 01:54:04,139
something really important in

3743
01:54:05,810 --> 01:54:06,577
expectations and best practices

3744
01:54:06,577 --> 01:54:09,577
It just everything becomes a

3745
01:54:10,748 --> 01:54:11,448
more understandable process ipo

3746
01:54:11,448 --> 01:54:15,480
which is what we're trying to

3747
01:54:15,419 --> 01:54:16,120
do with the park issues right

3748
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:16,820
now If you've noticed everyone

3749
01:54:16,820 --> 01:54:19,820
thank you for that concluding

3750
01:54:19,824 --> 01:54:20,490
comment That does conclude

3751
01:54:20,490 --> 01:54:21,250
public comment on this item.

3752
01:54:21,250 --> 01:54:21,592
>> All right.

3753
01:54:21,592 --> 01:54:22,492
Thank you, City Clerk.

3754
01:54:22,492 --> 01:54:24,829
And with that we'll turn it

3755
01:54:24,829 --> 01:54:27,829
over to council for questions.

3756
01:54:29,367 --> 01:54:30,333
Comments Entertain a motion.

3757
01:54:30,333 --> 01:54:33,333
>> I'm almost happy to make

3758
01:54:34,405 --> 01:54:34,939
the motion to approve

3759
01:54:34,939 --> 01:54:35,306
the recommendation.

3760
01:54:35,306 --> 01:54:36,730
All right.

3761
01:54:36,730 --> 01:54:39,577
So we have a motion by council

3762
01:54:39,577 --> 01:54:40,444
member whitburn.

3763
01:54:40,444 --> 01:54:40,978
>> We'll go next to council

3764
01:54:40,978 --> 01:54:42,947
member Von Wolford.

3765
01:54:42,947 --> 01:54:43,681
Thank you Council present.

3766
01:54:43,681 --> 01:54:44,348
I'm happy to second the motion

3767
01:54:44,348 --> 01:54:45,830
and thank you for the report

3768
01:54:45,830 --> 01:54:47,351
and all the work we're doing to

3769
01:54:47,351 --> 01:54:48,219
try and get copies going.

3770
01:54:48,219 --> 01:54:51,255
My one question is what are we

3771
01:54:51,255 --> 01:54:51,556
doing to try and contain our

3772
01:54:51,556 --> 01:54:52,255
costs?

3773
01:54:52,255 --> 01:54:52,990
I feel that contractors when

3774
01:54:52,990 --> 01:54:56,590
they see the city coming they

3775
01:54:56,794 --> 01:54:57,428
upcharge us for the price of

3776
01:54:57,428 --> 01:54:59,828
everything from asphalt to

3777
01:55:01,532 --> 01:55:02,233
building materials and you know

3778
01:55:02,233 --> 01:55:05,833
we were suing a fire engine

3779
01:55:06,838 --> 01:55:07,472
company for overcharging us for

3780
01:55:07,472 --> 01:55:08,171
the parts of fire engines.

3781
01:55:08,171 --> 01:55:12,371
You know, what are we doing to

3782
01:55:21,353 --> 01:55:21,652
try and contain our costs here

3783
01:55:21,652 --> 01:55:22,320
?

3784
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:23,540
Good morning Council member

3785
01:55:23,540 --> 01:55:26,540
Onyeama City Engineer The staff

3786
01:55:26,224 --> 01:55:26,925
continue monitoring all bids

3787
01:55:26,925 --> 01:55:27,626
coming in and ensuring that on

3788
01:55:27,626 --> 01:55:30,260
with the engineering estimates

3789
01:55:30,261 --> 01:55:30,962
we also participate in multiple

3790
01:55:30,962 --> 01:55:33,362
regional media meetings and

3791
01:55:34,932 --> 01:55:35,600
collaboration with other

3792
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:36,401
agencies to ensure that our

3793
01:55:36,401 --> 01:55:40,100
bids are coming in are very

3794
01:55:40,372 --> 01:55:41,390
similar in nature and then

3795
01:55:41,390 --> 01:55:44,390
looking for ways to improve

3796
01:55:45,310 --> 01:55:45,977
the scrutiny of all the bids

3797
01:55:45,977 --> 01:55:46,845
and analyzing them as we go.

3798
01:55:46,845 --> 01:55:50,445
So we're keeping a really close

3799
01:55:50,448 --> 01:55:51,149
tab on all the bids are coming

3800
01:55:51,149 --> 01:55:51,850
in and monitoring this one and

3801
01:55:51,850 --> 01:55:54,850
comparing that on the regional

3802
01:55:55,219 --> 01:55:56,870
level as well.

3803
01:55:56,870 --> 01:55:56,955
So and then it's coming in I

3804
01:55:56,955 --> 01:56:00,290
mean Iliffe can shed more light

3805
01:56:00,290 --> 01:56:00,792
but as we see new bids coming

3806
01:56:00,792 --> 01:56:03,192
in that are within

3807
01:56:04,196 --> 01:56:04,796
the engineering estimate and

3808
01:56:04,796 --> 01:56:05,463
then if it's above

3809
01:56:05,463 --> 01:56:07,863
the engineering estimate we

3810
01:56:08,700 --> 01:56:09,501
ensure this is justified And

3811
01:56:09,501 --> 01:56:12,501
then compared to other agencies

3812
01:56:13,370 --> 01:56:13,672
within the region.

3813
01:56:13,672 --> 01:56:14,339
Okay.

3814
01:56:14,339 --> 01:56:15,207
And what about in housing?

3815
01:56:15,207 --> 01:56:18,777
I mean is it cheaper for us to

3816
01:56:18,777 --> 01:56:19,410
do a mile of mill paid in house

3817
01:56:19,410 --> 01:56:21,810
rather than Odessa overlay

3818
01:56:22,881 --> 01:56:23,782
contracted out?

3819
01:56:23,782 --> 01:56:24,382
>> I mean it's not comparisons

3820
01:56:24,382 --> 01:56:26,782
apples to apples because

3821
01:56:27,819 --> 01:56:28,520
the work really included and

3822
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:32,120
the teams as it's different in

3823
01:56:32,958 --> 01:56:33,658
natures on what is comprised of

3824
01:56:33,658 --> 01:56:37,258
the contract such as the curb

3825
01:56:37,462 --> 01:56:38,197
ramps for instance that are not

3826
01:56:38,197 --> 01:56:38,896
part of the multi delivery.

3827
01:56:38,896 --> 01:56:41,833
So the cost is not really

3828
01:56:41,833 --> 01:56:42,501
comparable from that

3829
01:56:42,501 --> 01:56:43,201
perspective but something we

3830
01:56:43,201 --> 01:56:46,201
add Both teams are comparing

3831
01:56:46,905 --> 01:56:49,905
notes and and they're coming

3832
01:56:51,509 --> 01:56:55,109
within the range both of them.

3833
01:56:56,515 --> 01:57:00,715
Okay I'm just I'd love to hear

3834
01:57:01,687 --> 01:57:02,387
if we you know taking out

3835
01:57:02,387 --> 01:57:03,550
the programs for the sidewalks

3836
01:57:03,550 --> 01:57:03,722
I'm sure we could figure out

3837
01:57:03,722 --> 01:57:06,892
how to do that in house too.

3838
01:57:06,892 --> 01:57:10,762
But I just the cost of our cap

3839
01:57:10,762 --> 01:57:11,430
keeps growing and I just don't

3840
01:57:11,430 --> 01:57:12,199
know what to do about it.

3841
01:57:12,199 --> 01:57:15,600
So yeah, I mean this is

3842
01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:16,367
the cost of doing business

3843
01:57:16,367 --> 01:57:17,102
right now as the materials

3844
01:57:17,102 --> 01:57:20,102
costs continue to fluctuate and

3845
01:57:21,173 --> 01:57:21,873
other outside factors such as

3846
01:57:21,873 --> 01:57:22,573
the tariff and whatnot really

3847
01:57:22,573 --> 01:57:25,944
makes the market a little bit

3848
01:57:25,944 --> 01:57:26,712
unstable.

3849
01:57:26,712 --> 01:57:27,411
But as we again compare notes

3850
01:57:27,411 --> 01:57:29,811
with other agencies within

3851
01:57:31,283 --> 01:57:31,984
the region, this is across

3852
01:57:31,984 --> 01:57:35,584
the board and probably you see

3853
01:57:36,221 --> 01:57:36,889
the airport project for

3854
01:57:36,889 --> 01:57:37,589
instance is coming way above

3855
01:57:37,589 --> 01:57:38,230
budget and then the amount of

3856
01:57:38,230 --> 01:57:40,230
change orders.

3857
01:57:40,826 --> 01:57:41,527
So something we're trying to

3858
01:57:41,527 --> 01:57:41,827
continue keeping a close tabs

3859
01:57:41,827 --> 01:57:42,527
on it.

3860
01:57:42,527 --> 01:57:45,630
In the meantime we're looking

3861
01:57:45,630 --> 01:57:45,798
for a way to improve our

3862
01:57:45,798 --> 01:57:48,798
contract documents to not allow

3863
01:57:50,936 --> 01:57:51,603
for any change in order as we

3864
01:57:51,603 --> 01:57:52,204
award the contract as well.

3865
01:57:52,204 --> 01:57:55,204
This is something in our

3866
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:55,874
control and this is what staff

3867
01:57:55,874 --> 01:57:56,208
they're constantly working

3868
01:57:56,208 --> 01:57:56,642
toward.

3869
01:57:56,642 --> 01:57:58,642
Okay, got it.

3870
01:58:00,646 --> 01:58:01,346
Luckily at the airport we

3871
01:58:01,346 --> 01:58:02,470
actually are getting a lot of

3872
01:58:02,470 --> 01:58:02,514
change orders on this portion

3873
01:58:02,514 --> 01:58:04,514
of the terminal.

3874
01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:05,850
We're actually on budget which

3875
01:58:05,850 --> 01:58:09,450
is great But yeah, I mean

3876
01:58:10,220 --> 01:58:10,622
the tariffs are something that

3877
01:58:10,622 --> 01:58:11,255
we can't control and our

3878
01:58:11,255 --> 01:58:11,924
businesses are being price

3879
01:58:11,924 --> 01:58:14,924
gouging by the Americans are

3880
01:58:14,927 --> 01:58:15,594
paying the tariffs.

3881
01:58:15,594 --> 01:58:15,928
We are the ones paying these

3882
01:58:15,928 --> 01:58:16,662
tariffs.

3883
01:58:16,662 --> 01:58:19,431
It's been very clear And so I

3884
01:58:19,431 --> 01:58:20,131
just that's very hard for a

3885
01:58:20,131 --> 01:58:20,866
city to have to absorb because

3886
01:58:20,866 --> 01:58:21,532
we can't control whether or not

3887
01:58:21,532 --> 01:58:24,503
the price the United States

3888
01:58:24,503 --> 01:58:24,903
puts on tariffs off and on.

3889
01:58:24,903 --> 01:58:25,571
So okay.

3890
01:58:25,571 --> 01:58:26,238
Well thank you for answering

3891
01:58:26,238 --> 01:58:29,174
the question And I'm always

3892
01:58:29,174 --> 01:58:29,441
interested to see what we can

3893
01:58:29,441 --> 01:58:29,909
do.

3894
01:58:29,909 --> 01:58:30,276
>> All right.

3895
01:58:30,276 --> 01:58:32,276
Thank you.

3896
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:35,281
And I fail to mention that we

3897
01:58:35,281 --> 01:58:35,948
do have a motion by

3898
01:58:35,948 --> 01:58:36,582
Councilmember Whipper and a

3899
01:58:36,582 --> 01:58:37,216
second by COUNCILMAN Paul

3900
01:58:37,216 --> 01:58:38,384
Wolpert to move the staff

3901
01:58:38,384 --> 01:58:39,351
recommendation.

3902
01:58:39,351 --> 01:58:40,119
>> Or maybe I did I don't know

3903
01:58:40,119 --> 01:58:42,888
But we'll go to Councilmember

3904
01:58:42,888 --> 01:58:44,888
Foster.

3905
01:58:47,860 --> 01:58:48,560
Thank you for that And it just

3906
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:51,560
just really quick on my

3907
01:58:52,431 --> 01:58:54,431
colleague's question there's

3908
01:58:56,869 --> 01:58:57,536
there's no way that a general

3909
01:58:57,536 --> 01:59:00,536
contractor should be able to

3910
01:59:01,973 --> 01:59:02,308
have a lower cost to do milling

3911
01:59:02,308 --> 01:59:02,975
paving.

3912
01:59:02,975 --> 01:59:05,975
We just isolate asphalt work

3913
01:59:06,579 --> 01:59:07,446
that should not they should we

3914
01:59:07,446 --> 01:59:11,317
should be able to be very, very

3915
01:59:11,317 --> 01:59:11,617
competitive But I'll leave that

3916
01:59:11,617 --> 01:59:12,251
there.

3917
01:59:12,251 --> 01:59:14,651
That's a conversation for

3918
01:59:16,455 --> 01:59:17,890
another day I guess just with

3919
01:59:17,890 --> 01:59:17,589
the item one Thank you for

3920
01:59:17,589 --> 01:59:19,589
the presentation.

3921
01:59:21,260 --> 01:59:21,861
I do have just a couple of

3922
01:59:21,861 --> 01:59:22,228
quick questions on some

3923
01:59:22,228 --> 01:59:24,228
specifics.

3924
01:59:26,398 --> 01:59:29,998
I see I do appreciate in

3925
01:59:30,269 --> 01:59:30,903
regards to Marie Whitman that

3926
01:59:30,903 --> 01:59:31,637
we are moving forward.

3927
01:59:31,637 --> 01:59:32,405
I see we are moving some

3928
01:59:32,405 --> 01:59:35,707
dollars going from debt to cash

3929
01:59:35,707 --> 01:59:36,175
to get our initial worked on

3930
01:59:36,175 --> 01:59:36,776
the demolition.

3931
01:59:36,776 --> 01:59:39,776
So I do appreciate those

3932
01:59:40,313 --> 01:59:41,130
efforts as you're working to

3933
01:59:41,130 --> 01:59:44,160
get that done before our JULY

3934
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:44,450
12th date for our big Encanto

3935
01:59:44,450 --> 01:59:46,450
block party.

3936
01:59:49,221 --> 01:59:49,822
>> But I do see that we are

3937
01:59:49,822 --> 01:59:50,489
taking that cash from

3938
01:59:50,489 --> 01:59:50,889
the Paradise Hills Community

3939
01:59:50,889 --> 01:59:52,889
Park Trail.

3940
01:59:54,493 --> 01:59:55,930
>> Can you give me an update on

3941
01:59:55,930 --> 01:59:55,962
where we're at with that

3942
01:59:55,962 --> 01:59:59,980
project and when we will be

3943
01:59:59,980 --> 02:00:00,133
seeing that move forward?

3944
02:00:00,133 --> 02:00:04,333
I guess if I can ask that

3945
02:00:14,246 --> 02:00:14,981
question, council member will

3946
02:00:14,981 --> 02:00:15,748
get you the update on this one.

3947
02:00:15,748 --> 02:00:18,748
>> This is a project delivered

3948
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:19,851
by in-house Parks and Rec staff

3949
02:00:19,851 --> 02:00:20,520
and then we will make sure to

3950
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:24,120
get you the update on this.

3951
02:00:24,390 --> 02:00:27,390
Okay, Great know Thank you.

3952
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:28,728
And just very quick back to

3953
02:00:28,728 --> 02:00:32,928
the paving Most of the work now

3954
02:00:33,266 --> 02:00:33,967
is been the I mean we give

3955
02:00:33,967 --> 02:00:37,567
priority to our teams right We

3956
02:00:37,937 --> 02:00:38,705
are trying to contract out

3957
02:00:38,705 --> 02:00:39,306
the bare minimum as we go Those

3958
02:00:39,306 --> 02:00:42,306
are the one bundled with

3959
02:00:42,608 --> 02:00:43,309
pipelines project and other

3960
02:00:43,309 --> 02:00:44,100
work within the right of way.

3961
02:00:44,100 --> 02:00:47,120
So this is the direction that

3962
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:47,413
we're gearing toward that I

3963
02:00:47,413 --> 02:00:47,981
understand.

3964
02:00:47,981 --> 02:00:50,381
>> I understand and I

3965
02:00:51,885 --> 02:00:52,752
understand there's more work to

3966
02:00:52,752 --> 02:00:53,452
do as we are And also the one

3967
02:00:53,452 --> 02:00:56,656
thing that we need to be

3968
02:00:56,656 --> 02:00:57,157
careful is to make sure that we

3969
02:00:57,157 --> 02:00:57,757
can execute right.

3970
02:00:57,757 --> 02:00:58,124
We know the condition of

3971
02:00:58,124 --> 02:00:58,792
the yard.

3972
02:00:58,792 --> 02:01:01,294
We know condition of certain

3973
02:01:01,294 --> 02:01:02,228
things.

3974
02:01:02,228 --> 02:01:02,896
So we need to make sure that we

3975
02:01:02,896 --> 02:01:03,163
are taking that into account

3976
02:01:03,163 --> 02:01:05,163
too.

3977
02:01:06,990 --> 02:01:06,800
So I don't want to throw all of

3978
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:07,567
the miles on you at this point

3979
02:01:07,567 --> 02:01:08,234
but I just like to see it

3980
02:01:08,234 --> 02:01:09,869
continue to improve and

3981
02:01:09,869 --> 02:01:11,869
continue to expand.

3982
02:01:15,410 --> 02:01:15,342
So thank you for those efforts

3983
02:01:15,342 --> 02:01:16,109
.

3984
02:01:16,109 --> 02:01:19,709
What else do I have here?

3985
02:01:20,814 --> 02:01:24,414
Also I think this is probably

3986
02:01:25,452 --> 02:01:26,219
another park and rec question

3987
02:01:26,219 --> 02:01:27,870
but I know we have some things

3988
02:01:27,870 --> 02:01:30,687
going on with our tennis club

3989
02:01:30,790 --> 02:01:31,558
There and so I'll be following

3990
02:01:31,558 --> 02:01:34,693
up with Park and Rec to make

3991
02:01:34,693 --> 02:01:35,395
sure that we have that project

3992
02:01:35,395 --> 02:01:38,395
continuing to move forward as

3993
02:01:39,899 --> 02:01:40,367
we address the media and

3994
02:01:40,367 --> 02:01:41,670
certain things.

3995
02:01:41,670 --> 02:01:44,667
So looking forward to that one

3996
02:01:44,871 --> 02:01:45,806
coming on board as well.

3997
02:01:45,806 --> 02:01:50,600
I think with that I don't have

3998
02:01:50,176 --> 02:01:50,610
any other questions or comments

3999
02:01:50,610 --> 02:01:50,976
at this time.

4000
02:01:50,976 --> 02:01:51,344
Thank you.

4001
02:01:51,344 --> 02:01:53,344
All right.

4002
02:01:55,150 --> 02:01:55,348
Thank you, Councilmember

4003
02:01:55,348 --> 02:01:56,830
Foster.

4004
02:01:56,830 --> 02:01:56,650
I will go next to Council

4005
02:01:56,650 --> 02:01:59,500
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee.

4006
02:01:59,953 --> 02:02:00,687
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT and

4007
02:02:00,687 --> 02:02:01,354
I'll be quick Appreciate some

4008
02:02:01,354 --> 02:02:04,357
of the changes that are that

4009
02:02:04,357 --> 02:02:05,158
we're seeing with this update.

4010
02:02:05,158 --> 02:02:05,826
But I also just really wanted

4011
02:02:05,826 --> 02:02:06,593
to give a special thanks to

4012
02:02:06,593 --> 02:02:09,730
Rania and the entire team as

4013
02:02:09,730 --> 02:02:10,263
well because we know not every

4014
02:02:10,263 --> 02:02:12,663
project is the same.

4015
02:02:13,332 --> 02:02:14,100
Some have challenges.

4016
02:02:14,100 --> 02:02:14,801
So one of the items here is

4017
02:02:14,801 --> 02:02:17,201
South Neighborhood Park which

4018
02:02:18,772 --> 02:02:19,572
has been difficult and has

4019
02:02:19,572 --> 02:02:20,107
taken far longer than I think

4020
02:02:20,107 --> 02:02:20,840
we all anticipated.

4021
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:22,876
We've had another project in so

4022
02:02:22,876 --> 02:02:23,644
that is ahead of schedule and

4023
02:02:23,644 --> 02:02:24,344
every single time I think just

4024
02:02:24,344 --> 02:02:25,440
the willingness of the team to

4025
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:27,881
try to work with the community

4026
02:02:27,881 --> 02:02:28,481
to understand and

4027
02:02:28,481 --> 02:02:29,182
the variability in these

4028
02:02:29,182 --> 02:02:32,782
projects to try to figure out

4029
02:02:32,786 --> 02:02:33,554
how we're keeping contractors

4030
02:02:33,554 --> 02:02:33,887
accountable to what we put them

4031
02:02:33,887 --> 02:02:35,887
towards.

4032
02:02:38,292 --> 02:02:38,992
It is a challenge and so we

4033
02:02:38,992 --> 02:02:39,626
appreciate the partnership and

4034
02:02:39,626 --> 02:02:42,626
actually trying to use our

4035
02:02:42,729 --> 02:02:43,430
dollars wisely but also

4036
02:02:43,430 --> 02:02:44,131
communicate with the public in

4037
02:02:44,131 --> 02:02:44,697
a way that doesn't offer some

4038
02:02:44,697 --> 02:02:47,697
trust as to how we're

4039
02:02:47,901 --> 02:02:48,268
delivering these major csp

4040
02:02:48,268 --> 02:02:48,936
projects.

4041
02:02:48,936 --> 02:02:52,940
So thank you to the team for

4042
02:02:52,940 --> 02:02:53,307
the work on that front.

4043
02:02:53,307 --> 02:02:53,707
Thank you.

4044
02:02:53,707 --> 02:02:54,108
All right.

4045
02:02:54,108 --> 02:02:56,108
Thank you.

4046
02:02:56,744 --> 02:02:57,511
Not seeing anyone else in

4047
02:02:57,511 --> 02:02:58,112
the lights I add my thanks to

4048
02:02:58,112 --> 02:03:00,512
the work and especially

4049
02:03:01,982 --> 02:03:02,750
the effort that you started a

4050
02:03:02,750 --> 02:03:03,350
few years ago was to make sure

4051
02:03:03,350 --> 02:03:06,286
that we don't have money

4052
02:03:06,286 --> 02:03:07,530
sitting around and and buckets

4053
02:03:07,530 --> 02:03:10,557
that we do everything we can to

4054
02:03:10,557 --> 02:03:11,325
put money in our hands to work

4055
02:03:11,325 --> 02:03:12,590
And I think it's made a

4056
02:03:12,590 --> 02:03:14,459
significant difference in terms

4057
02:03:15,629 --> 02:03:15,963
of being able to fund the vip

4058
02:03:15,963 --> 02:03:16,764
rollout.

4059
02:03:16,764 --> 02:03:20,568
I know that there is one change

4060
02:03:20,568 --> 02:03:21,335
in my district but that will be

4061
02:03:21,335 --> 02:03:24,335
returning fba funds back to

4062
02:03:25,872 --> 02:03:26,574
the community and we'll look

4063
02:03:26,574 --> 02:03:28,974
forward to reallocating those

4064
02:03:30,811 --> 02:03:31,412
dollars at a different time.

4065
02:03:31,412 --> 02:03:32,246
You know the other other

4066
02:03:32,246 --> 02:03:35,150
thought that I had which is

4067
02:03:35,150 --> 02:03:35,716
probably as dangerous as

4068
02:03:35,716 --> 02:03:39,119
the one that I comment that I

4069
02:03:39,119 --> 02:03:39,819
made earlier goes to one of my

4070
02:03:39,819 --> 02:03:40,387
colleagues comments about kind

4071
02:03:40,387 --> 02:03:42,787
of getting updated and

4072
02:03:43,424 --> 02:03:44,191
the decisions we make One

4073
02:03:44,191 --> 02:03:47,791
project start to get very, very

4074
02:03:48,896 --> 02:03:49,696
expensive for whatever reason

4075
02:03:49,696 --> 02:03:53,296
and whether there is really a

4076
02:03:54,340 --> 02:03:54,702
process I, I think last year I

4077
02:03:54,702 --> 02:03:55,402
kind of just the moment that

4078
02:03:55,402 --> 02:03:58,439
this is the moment to say

4079
02:03:58,439 --> 02:03:59,172
something about a project and

4080
02:03:59,172 --> 02:04:02,772
the increased budget that it is

4081
02:04:03,477 --> 02:04:04,780
being identified with and do I

4082
02:04:04,780 --> 02:04:04,445
still support one in my

4083
02:04:04,445 --> 02:04:05,146
district?

4084
02:04:05,146 --> 02:04:07,982
Do I ask my colleagues whether

4085
02:04:07,982 --> 02:04:08,716
they still support

4086
02:04:08,716 --> 02:04:11,716
the allocation of funds knowing

4087
02:04:13,220 --> 02:04:14,880
that we use multiple buckets to

4088
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:14,722
be able to fund our very big

4089
02:04:14,722 --> 02:04:17,722
projects And you guys are

4090
02:04:17,825 --> 02:04:18,458
amazing in terms of identifying

4091
02:04:18,458 --> 02:04:19,590
those buckets whether it's

4092
02:04:19,590 --> 02:04:21,590
grants, community deaths

4093
02:04:22,396 --> 02:04:22,730
citywide deaths etc. Etc. Going

4094
02:04:22,730 --> 02:04:24,730
forward.

4095
02:04:27,234 --> 02:04:27,969
But sometimes I pause and

4096
02:04:27,969 --> 02:04:28,703
wondering about as this project

4097
02:04:28,703 --> 02:04:32,303
just got beyond the pale and

4098
02:04:32,673 --> 02:04:33,373
maybe we should rethink it But

4099
02:04:33,373 --> 02:04:34,142
I'll circle back It's I'm only

4100
02:04:34,142 --> 02:04:37,142
talking about projects in my

4101
02:04:37,178 --> 02:04:37,912
district so I want to be clear

4102
02:04:37,912 --> 02:04:41,512
about that But I'll circle back

4103
02:04:41,716 --> 02:04:42,517
on that kind of conversation

4104
02:04:42,517 --> 02:04:43,117
and I know it's just so

4105
02:04:43,117 --> 02:04:43,718
difficult takes so long.

4106
02:04:43,718 --> 02:04:44,151
So anyway, thank you for

4107
02:04:44,151 --> 02:04:46,151
the good work.

4108
02:04:46,787 --> 02:04:47,388

4161
02:06:06,533 --> 02:06:07,202
This item includes a request

4162
02:06:07,202 --> 02:06:07,902
for City Council approval to

4163
02:06:07,902 --> 02:06:08,603
appropriate development impact

4164
02:06:08,603 --> 02:06:11,538
fee funds towards a list of a

4165
02:06:11,538 --> 02:06:12,207
specific capital improvement

4166
02:06:12,207 --> 02:06:12,874
program projects to further

4167
02:06:12,874 --> 02:06:13,975
spend on community specific

4168
02:06:13,975 --> 02:06:14,943
funds that have been in

4169
02:06:14,943 --> 02:06:18,543
the accounts for more than five

4170
02:06:19,180 --> 02:06:21,180
years.

4171
02:06:23,510 --> 02:06:23,718
As mentioned before, this

4172
02:06:23,718 --> 02:06:24,319
package includes three items

4173
02:06:24,319 --> 02:06:27,319
the city is required to

4174
02:06:28,223 --> 02:06:28,990
mitigate by the mitigation fee

4175
02:06:28,990 --> 02:06:29,724
Act to provide an annual report

4176
02:06:29,724 --> 02:06:30,358
on development impact fees also

4177
02:06:30,358 --> 02:06:33,295
known as Death to the City

4178
02:06:33,295 --> 02:06:33,962
Council.

4179
02:06:33,962 --> 02:06:34,595
This act mandates that local

4180
02:06:34,595 --> 02:06:35,263
agencies with this program

4181
02:06:35,263 --> 02:06:37,632
makes a specific information

4182
02:06:37,632 --> 02:06:38,266
available to the public and

4183
02:06:38,266 --> 02:06:38,933
establish certain findings

4184
02:06:38,933 --> 02:06:41,670
related to their funds that

4185
02:06:41,670 --> 02:06:42,437
have been in their account in

4186
02:06:42,437 --> 02:06:43,400
an allocated for a period of

4187
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:45,404
five years or longer.

4188
02:06:46,875 --> 02:06:47,576
This and a report is being

4189
02:06:47,576 --> 02:06:48,276
presented to the City Council

4190
02:06:48,276 --> 02:06:48,877
to satisfy the requirements of

4191
02:06:48,877 --> 02:06:51,277
the Mitigation Fee Act.

4192
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:52,881
We also have broken out

4193
02:06:52,881 --> 02:06:53,582
the report to include a

4194
02:06:53,582 --> 02:06:54,316
separate section for all other

4195
02:06:54,316 --> 02:06:57,316
fees collected by city planning

4196
02:06:57,785 --> 02:06:58,320
including habitat acquisition

4197
02:06:58,320 --> 02:06:58,987
fee, climate equity,

4198
02:06:58,987 --> 02:07:00,987
neighborhood enhancement fee

4199
02:07:01,890 --> 02:07:02,691
and historic Preservation Fund.

4200
02:07:02,691 --> 02:07:03,325
In addition, we are requesting

4201
02:07:03,325 --> 02:07:06,325
the City Council adopt a

4202
02:07:06,928 --> 02:07:07,596
resolution team to establish a

4203
02:07:07,596 --> 02:07:08,263
capital improvement program

4204
02:07:08,263 --> 02:07:10,263
Capital Improvement Project.

4205
02:07:11,433 --> 02:07:12,100
Alternate ascap record in

4206
02:07:12,100 --> 02:07:12,801
the city's financial system

4207
02:07:12,801 --> 02:07:15,201
solely for administrative and

4208
02:07:16,405 --> 02:07:17,720
accounting purposes.

4209
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:17,739
This action is necessary to

4210
02:07:17,739 --> 02:07:19,739
facilitate reimbursement of

4211
02:07:21,477 --> 02:07:22,144
eligible project costs using

4212
02:07:22,144 --> 02:07:22,711
development impact fee funds

4213
02:07:22,711 --> 02:07:25,113
that have been held in

4214
02:07:25,113 --> 02:07:25,414
the account for more than five

4215
02:07:25,414 --> 02:07:26,810
years.

4216
02:07:26,810 --> 02:07:26,815
Previous reimbursements were

4217
02:07:26,815 --> 02:07:30,170
provided in the form of credits

4218
02:07:30,170 --> 02:07:30,719
established in the cpa record

4219
02:07:30,719 --> 02:07:31,453
and will enable reimbursement

4220
02:07:31,453 --> 02:07:34,623
in cash and does not constitute

4221
02:07:34,623 --> 02:07:35,324
approval of a new project.

4222
02:07:35,324 --> 02:07:38,324
Lastly, we are requesting City

4223
02:07:39,828 --> 02:07:40,529
Council approval to allocate

4224
02:07:40,529 --> 02:07:41,263
community specific development

4225
02:07:41,263 --> 02:07:42,831
impact fee funds that have been

4226
02:07:42,831 --> 02:07:43,432
in the account for over five

4227
02:07:43,432 --> 02:07:45,832
years to two specific

4228
02:07:47,870 --> 02:07:48,536
infrastructure projects.

4229
02:07:48,536 --> 02:07:49,204
>> The report provides

4230
02:07:49,204 --> 02:07:49,838
information on the type and

4231
02:07:49,838 --> 02:07:52,238
amount of fees collected.

4232
02:07:52,741 --> 02:07:53,750
Beginning and ending fund

4233
02:07:53,750 --> 02:07:53,675
balance.

4234
02:07:53,675 --> 02:07:56,750
Amount of fees collected

4235
02:07:57,613 --> 02:07:58,379
including interest Earned.

4236
02:07:58,379 --> 02:07:59,810
Project funded in any injury

4237
02:07:59,810 --> 02:08:02,810
from transfers or loans made.

4238
02:08:02,751 --> 02:08:03,418
It also provides findings for

4239
02:08:03,418 --> 02:08:04,153
funds that have been in each

4240
02:08:04,153 --> 02:08:04,853
account for over five years and

4241
02:08:04,853 --> 02:08:08,453
have not yet been allocated to

4242
02:08:09,658 --> 02:08:10,359
projects.

4243
02:08:10,359 --> 02:08:11,260
>> Development impact fees are

4244
02:08:11,260 --> 02:08:14,260
fees imposed on projects to

4245
02:08:14,730 --> 02:08:15,231
cover all or a portion of

4246
02:08:15,231 --> 02:08:15,898
the cost of public

4247
02:08:15,898 --> 02:08:18,298
infrastructure needed due to

4248
02:08:19,601 --> 02:08:20,369
new growth and development.

4249
02:08:20,369 --> 02:08:22,769
>> All development impact fees

4250
02:08:24,673 --> 02:08:25,340
must be expended in accordance

4251
02:08:25,340 --> 02:08:25,641
with their associated nexus

4252
02:08:25,641 --> 02:08:27,641
study.

4253
02:08:29,111 --> 02:08:29,778
Nexus studies determine how

4254
02:08:29,778 --> 02:08:30,446
much the impact fees can be

4255
02:08:30,446 --> 02:08:33,446
charged to a new development

4256
02:08:34,830 --> 02:08:34,816
and which type of projects are

4257
02:08:34,816 --> 02:08:35,216
eligible for development impact

4258
02:08:35,216 --> 02:08:35,885
fee funding.

4259
02:08:35,885 --> 02:08:39,485
There are two types of nexus

4260
02:08:39,622 --> 02:08:40,389
studies fees.

4261
02:08:40,389 --> 02:08:41,123
One is plan based nexus study

4262
02:08:41,123 --> 02:08:44,123
which live to specific projects

4263
02:08:44,226 --> 02:08:44,927
on which the development impact

4264
02:08:44,927 --> 02:08:48,527
fee funds can be expended and

4265
02:08:48,964 --> 02:08:49,665
the other is standards based

4266
02:08:49,665 --> 02:08:50,399
nexus study which establishes

4267
02:08:50,399 --> 02:08:52,399
public infrastructure standards

4268
02:08:52,835 --> 02:08:53,335
that must be met under

4269
02:08:53,335 --> 02:08:55,335
the prior system.

4270
02:08:58,140 --> 02:08:58,807
>> Each community had its own

4271
02:08:58,807 --> 02:08:59,408
public facilities financing

4272
02:08:59,408 --> 02:09:02,244
plan which serve as a as

4273
02:09:02,244 --> 02:09:02,845
the Nexus study for community

4274
02:09:02,845 --> 02:09:03,446
Development Impact Fee.

4275
02:09:03,446 --> 02:09:05,846
These plans define local

4276
02:09:06,749 --> 02:09:07,516
infrastructure projects and fee

4277
02:09:07,516 --> 02:09:08,250
structures but over time led to

4278
02:09:08,250 --> 02:09:10,650
inconsistent and outdated rates

4279
02:09:12,188 --> 02:09:12,955
across communities.

4280
02:09:12,955 --> 02:09:13,589
The Citywide Development Impact

4281
02:09:13,589 --> 02:09:15,989
Fee structure now replaces

4282
02:09:16,392 --> 02:09:17,590
those 43 communities

4283
02:09:17,590 --> 02:09:17,659
communities specific studies

4284
02:09:17,659 --> 02:09:20,590
with four citywide nexus

4285
02:09:21,564 --> 02:09:22,298
studies for parks mobility

4286
02:09:22,298 --> 02:09:25,298
libraries and fire rescue along

4287
02:09:25,901 --> 02:09:26,168
with an all time mass mobility

4288
02:09:26,168 --> 02:09:26,902
fee.

4289
02:09:26,902 --> 02:09:27,670
So that burden didn't fall on

4290
02:09:27,670 --> 02:09:30,439
the entire city for that needed

4291
02:09:30,439 --> 02:09:31,400
infrastructure.

4292
02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:31,707
All new development

4293
02:09:31,707 --> 02:09:34,107
applications submitted on or

4294
02:09:34,944 --> 02:09:35,578
after JULY 1st of 2023 are

4295
02:09:35,578 --> 02:09:36,178
subject to these citywide

4296
02:09:36,178 --> 02:09:38,178
development impact fees.

4297
02:09:39,516 --> 02:09:40,216
Since community specific

4298
02:09:40,216 --> 02:09:40,850
development impact fees are no

4299
02:09:40,850 --> 02:09:43,250
longer updated, the public

4300
02:09:44,387 --> 02:09:44,987
facilities financing plan that

4301
02:09:44,987 --> 02:09:45,488
supported them no longer

4302
02:09:45,488 --> 02:09:47,488
require revisions.

4303
02:09:49,358 --> 02:09:49,959
This shift creates a modern,

4304
02:09:49,959 --> 02:09:50,660
equitable and efficient

4305
02:09:50,660 --> 02:09:52,660
framework ensuring consistent

4306
02:09:54,797 --> 02:09:55,465
development impact fee rates,

4307
02:09:55,465 --> 02:09:56,132
unlocking unused funds and a

4308
02:09:56,132 --> 02:09:56,799
line increase spending with

4309
02:09:56,799 --> 02:09:58,799
with citywide infrastructure

4310
02:10:02,338 --> 02:10:03,720
needs.

4311
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:03,706
>> As noted in the previous

4312
02:10:03,706 --> 02:10:06,106
slide, the transition from

4313
02:10:06,609 --> 02:10:07,277
community specific development

4314
02:10:07,277 --> 02:10:07,944
impact fees to citywide fees

4315
02:10:07,944 --> 02:10:10,944
will take several years to

4316
02:10:11,460 --> 02:10:11,781
fully materialize.

4317
02:10:11,781 --> 02:10:12,215
However, the shift is already

4318
02:10:12,215 --> 02:10:14,215
well underway.

4319
02:10:16,553 --> 02:10:17,253
In fiscal year 20 2024

4320
02:10:17,253 --> 02:10:19,253
community revenue represented

4321
02:10:21,491 --> 02:10:23,491
approximately 64% of total

4322
02:10:24,994 --> 02:10:25,595
revenue whereas in fiscal year

4323
02:10:25,595 --> 02:10:26,329
2025 it declined to

4324
02:10:26,329 --> 02:10:28,329
approximately 35% with citywide

4325
02:10:29,332 --> 02:10:31,732
revenue increasing from 36 to

4326
02:10:34,136 --> 02:10:35,400
65% over the same period.

4327
02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:35,672
>> It is however important to

4328
02:10:35,672 --> 02:10:38,720
note that development impact

4329
02:10:39,175 --> 02:10:39,776
fees are just one of several

4330
02:10:39,776 --> 02:10:40,477
funding sources to fund

4331
02:10:40,477 --> 02:10:42,877
infrastructure and continue to

4332
02:10:44,790 --> 02:10:44,814
be a critical component and

4333
02:10:44,814 --> 02:10:45,481
support the Capital Improvement

4334
02:10:45,481 --> 02:10:47,881
Program's budget to provide

4335
02:10:48,685 --> 02:10:49,719
needed infrastructure.

4336
02:10:49,719 --> 02:10:53,319
>> While the report goes into a

4337
02:10:54,456 --> 02:10:55,158
lot of detail regarding each of

4338
02:10:55,158 --> 02:10:55,792
the funds, here's a glance at

4339
02:10:55,792 --> 02:10:56,159
the revenue collected and

4340
02:10:56,159 --> 02:10:58,159
expended.

4341
02:10:58,495 --> 02:10:59,950
The total development impact

4342
02:10:59,950 --> 02:10:59,729
fees collected including

4343
02:10:59,729 --> 02:11:02,129
commuter and citywide for

4344
02:11:02,265 --> 02:11:02,966
fiscal year 2025 is around

4345
02:11:02,966 --> 02:11:05,966
$50.2 million and the city was

4346
02:11:06,735 --> 02:11:07,370
able to expend around 81.1

4347
02:11:07,370 --> 02:11:07,736
million on infrastructure

4348
02:11:07,736 --> 02:11:09,736
projects.

4349
02:11:12,740 --> 02:11:12,609
This is a step in the right

4350
02:11:12,609 --> 02:11:13,176
direction as we have

4351
02:11:13,176 --> 02:11:13,910
successfully expended

4352
02:11:13,910 --> 02:11:16,412
development impact fee funds on

4353
02:11:16,412 --> 02:11:17,470
the much needed infrastructure

4354
02:11:17,470 --> 02:11:17,781
projects across the city.

4355
02:11:17,781 --> 02:11:20,781
This is helped significantly by

4356
02:11:21,117 --> 02:11:21,785
the ability to access citywide

4357
02:11:21,785 --> 02:11:22,486
development impact fees and

4358
02:11:22,486 --> 02:11:26,860
make up any funding gaps left

4359
02:11:28,325 --> 02:11:29,125
by community specific funds

4360
02:11:29,125 --> 02:11:29,793
under the Mitigation Fee Act.

4361
02:11:29,793 --> 02:11:30,493
The city is required to make

4362
02:11:30,493 --> 02:11:32,893
findings for any development

4363
02:11:34,164 --> 02:11:34,864
impact fee funds that have

4364
02:11:34,864 --> 02:11:35,265
remained unspent for more than

4365
02:11:35,265 --> 02:11:37,265
five years.

4366
02:11:38,368 --> 02:11:39,690
This ensures that all funds

4367
02:11:39,690 --> 02:11:39,769
collected from development are

4368
02:11:39,769 --> 02:11:42,169
actively program for eligible

4369
02:11:43,339 --> 02:11:44,410
public improvements and remain

4370
02:11:44,410 --> 02:11:44,740
consistent with adopted public

4371
02:11:44,740 --> 02:11:47,140
with adopted public facilities

4372
02:11:48,211 --> 02:11:48,979
financing plans.

4373
02:11:48,979 --> 02:11:49,646
For this reporting period a

4374
02:11:49,646 --> 02:11:52,460
total of 38 accounts have

4375
02:11:53,150 --> 02:11:53,517
balanced the Middle five year

4376
02:11:53,517 --> 02:11:54,216
threshold.

4377
02:11:54,216 --> 02:11:54,818
The good news is that most of

4378
02:11:54,818 --> 02:11:57,218
those funds are already

4379
02:11:58,255 --> 02:11:58,922
appropriated to specific

4380
02:11:58,922 --> 02:11:59,556
capital projects and will be

4381
02:11:59,556 --> 02:12:01,956
expanded as those projects

4382
02:12:03,193 --> 02:12:03,926
progress toward construction.

4383
02:12:03,926 --> 02:12:04,528
However, these five communities

4384
02:12:04,528 --> 02:12:06,528
better behind entrenched

4385
02:12:07,798 --> 02:12:08,498

4386
02:12:08,498 --> 02:12:08,966
Sarah Meza, Carmel Valley and

4387
02:12:08,966 --> 02:12:10,966
Mission Valley.

4388
02:12:12,836 --> 02:12:13,603
If you'll have an allocated

4389
02:12:13,603 --> 02:12:14,204
balance that no need to be

4390
02:12:14,204 --> 02:12:16,204
addressed through new

4391
02:12:16,973 --> 02:12:17,708
appropriations as part of

4392
02:12:17,708 --> 02:12:18,375
the five year findings required

4393
02:12:18,375 --> 02:12:18,976
by the mitigation fee and if

4394
02:12:18,976 --> 02:12:21,244
staff is requesting City

4395
02:12:21,244 --> 02:12:21,912
Council approval to appropriate

4401
02:12:27,651 --> 02:12:30,651
the goal is to ensure

4402
02:12:31,488 --> 02:12:32,189
compliance with the with

4403
02:12:32,189 --> 02:12:32,889

4408
02:12:40,798 --> 02:12:41,531
originally collected.

4409
02:12:41,531 --> 02:12:42,132

existing chp projects.

4423
02:13:01,318 --> 02:13:04,918
Please keep in mind that these

4424
02:13:05,890 --> 02:13:05,789
are funds collected from

4425
02:13:05,789 --> 02:13:06,489

02:16:26,424 --> 02:16:26,925
There's no transparency in

4543
02:16:26,925 --> 02:16:28,925
these PowerPoints.

4544
02:16:30,629 --> 02:16:31,296
I wish that they would break

4545
02:16:31,296 --> 02:16:31,963
down into more detail where

4546
02:16:31,963 --> 02:16:34,363
exactly actually the money's

4547
02:16:36,167 --> 02:16:36,768
going on All of you are trying

4548
02:16:36,768 --> 02:16:37,168
to create a one world

4549
02:16:37,168 --> 02:16:37,903
government.

4550
02:16:37,903 --> 02:16:38,336
You don't care about the people

4551
02:16:38,336 --> 02:16:40,336
of San Diego.

4552
02:16:41,239 --> 02:16:42,700
You care about the demons

4553
02:16:42,700 --> 02:16:42,340
inside you commanding you to do

4554
02:16:42,340 --> 02:16:43,108
things.

4555
02:16:43,108 --> 02:16:46,878
And I just wanted to take a

4556
02:16:46,878 --> 02:16:47,512
moment to say that I'm a mind

4557
02:16:47,512 --> 02:16:50,512
control victim and part of

4558
02:16:52,450 --> 02:16:53,151
being a mind control victim as

4559
02:16:53,151 --> 02:16:53,785
they try and convince me I'm

4560
02:16:53,785 --> 02:16:54,452
going to And the people on

4561
02:16:54,452 --> 02:16:56,922
city council are using neuro

4562
02:16:56,922 --> 02:16:57,889
linguistics to try to convince

4563
02:16:57,889 --> 02:16:58,589
me I'm going to too And I'm

4564
02:16:58,589 --> 02:17:02,160
Catholic So I believe that I'm

4565
02:17:02,160 --> 02:17:02,594
going to heaven and I don't

4566
02:17:02,594 --> 02:17:03,528
appreciate it.

4567
02:17:03,528 --> 02:17:04,329
And for this to be going on in

4568
02:17:04,329 --> 02:17:07,329
city council and actual occult

4569
02:17:08,467 --> 02:17:09,167
programs Victim I'm trying to

4570
02:17:09,167 --> 02:17:09,935
speak his part and make his

4571
02:17:09,935 --> 02:17:12,935
voice heard and then people

4572
02:17:13,706 --> 02:17:14,439
abusing him Neuro

4573
02:17:14,439 --> 02:17:15,730
linguistically you're trying to

4574
02:17:15,730 --> 02:17:15,807
make him an abuse victim.

4575
02:17:15,807 --> 02:17:18,207
It's absolutely disgraceful and

4576
02:17:18,543 --> 02:17:19,277
I even talked to the security.

4577
02:17:19,277 --> 02:17:20,110
Do you know what telepathic

4578
02:17:20,110 --> 02:17:22,411
neuro linguistic harassment is?

4579
02:17:23,882 --> 02:17:24,549
And he said No, I don't know

4580
02:17:24,549 --> 02:17:25,249
And that's B.S. The security

4581
02:17:25,249 --> 02:17:28,249
knows exactly what's going on

4582
02:17:28,954 --> 02:17:29,820
So I actually demand every

4583
02:17:29,820 --> 02:17:30,489
single one of you to not only

4584
02:17:30,489 --> 02:17:31,189
step down from office but to

4585
02:17:31,189 --> 02:17:34,189
turn yourself into the police

4586
02:17:34,559 --> 02:17:35,327
for harassment because saying

4587
02:17:35,327 --> 02:17:39,527
scaring me so bad that it makes

4588
02:17:43,235 --> 02:17:44,200
my tingle and then saying

4589
02:17:44,200 --> 02:17:44,636
we're about to make your

4590
02:17:44,636 --> 02:17:45,303
tingles and threatening me

4591
02:17:45,303 --> 02:17:46,371
neuro Linguistically I still

4592
02:17:46,371 --> 02:17:47,720
think physical assault down

4593
02:17:47,720 --> 02:17:50,442
with the occult I'm not crazy

4594
02:17:50,442 --> 02:17:51,243
down of the occult tracing out

4595
02:17:51,243 --> 02:17:51,943
if you can please come forward

4596
02:17:51,943 --> 02:17:52,644
after that as Mary Serrano if

4597
02:17:52,644 --> 02:17:55,714
you can please come forward to

4598
02:17:55,714 --> 02:17:56,648
the yellow reserved seats.

4599
02:17:56,648 --> 02:17:57,449
First of all I want to say this

4600
02:17:57,449 --> 02:18:00,449
Thank you everyone because this

4601
02:18:01,687 --> 02:18:02,354
is great.

4602
02:18:02,354 --> 02:18:05,354
We've got a full guy.

4603
02:18:07,258 --> 02:18:07,960
Yes, we've got the mayors rep.

4604
02:18:07,960 --> 02:18:08,727
We've got the operations

4605
02:18:08,727 --> 02:18:11,727
department and we have public

4606
02:18:12,765 --> 02:18:13,532
speakers.

4607
02:18:13,532 --> 02:18:17,132
This is what it's all about.

4608
02:18:17,870 --> 02:18:18,270
So thank you so much for that.

4609
02:18:18,270 --> 02:18:20,270
All right.

4610
02:18:22,875 --> 02:18:23,642
So on this item in particular

4611
02:18:23,642 --> 02:18:26,642
so City Planning Manage Funds

4612
02:18:28,800 --> 02:18:28,480
cip program allocations.

4613
02:18:28,480 --> 02:18:30,480
All right.

4614
02:18:33,752 --> 02:18:34,419
We've got funds equal money

4615
02:18:34,419 --> 02:18:36,419
versus allocations using

4616
02:18:39,358 --> 02:18:39,792
the money we have revenues

4617
02:18:39,792 --> 02:18:40,326
expenditures.

4618
02:18:40,326 --> 02:18:43,326
This is the heart of

4619
02:18:45,263 --> 02:18:45,965
the structural budget deficit.

4620
02:18:45,965 --> 02:18:48,965
It's really quite simple Money

4621
02:18:50,569 --> 02:18:54,769
in, money out And we've got to

4622
02:18:55,374 --> 02:18:55,708
make it simpler because it is

4623
02:18:55,708 --> 02:18:56,642
simpler.

4624
02:18:56,642 --> 02:19:00,513
And so I want to again say this

4625
02:19:00,513 --> 02:19:01,447
I'm going to repeat it.

4626
02:19:01,447 --> 02:19:02,180
This is kind of what I'm going

4627
02:19:02,180 --> 02:19:02,515
to focus on now as we move

4628
02:19:02,515 --> 02:19:04,515
forward.

4629
02:19:06,752 --> 02:19:09,752
We need an officially adopted

4630
02:19:11,924 --> 02:19:12,258
plan to return to structural

4631
02:19:12,258 --> 02:19:12,925
balance.

4632
02:19:12,925 --> 02:19:15,925
Please let's get together on

4633
02:19:18,931 --> 02:19:19,231
this and I just it's good to be

4634
02:19:19,231 --> 02:19:19,932
here.

4635
02:19:19,932 --> 02:19:22,932
>> Love to all Mary, begin.

4636
02:19:23,502 --> 02:19:25,502
Please come forward.

4637
02:19:29,410 --> 02:19:29,842
Okay.

4638
02:19:29,842 --> 02:19:32,842
Mary Soriano, PRESIDENT La Hoya

4639
02:19:35,181 --> 02:19:35,981
Town Council Develop an impact

4640
02:19:35,981 --> 02:19:36,749
fees La Hoya had it legacy

4641
02:19:36,749 --> 02:19:40,620
funds and I think I looked into

4642
02:19:40,620 --> 02:19:41,870
it a couple of years ago We had

4643
02:19:41,870 --> 02:19:41,787
about $350,000.

4644
02:19:41,787 --> 02:19:44,787
Not sure what's happening with

4645
02:19:46,158 --> 02:19:46,826
that today but now I guess

4646
02:19:46,826 --> 02:19:50,426
the city decided to put that

4647
02:19:51,364 --> 02:19:52,630
all in one pot and what

4648
02:19:52,630 --> 02:19:52,865
the frustration is frustration

4649
02:19:52,865 --> 02:19:57,103
is is that I could see maybe a

4650
02:19:57,103 --> 02:19:57,803
point of imbalance that you

4651
02:19:57,803 --> 02:19:58,471
mentioned because at one they

4652
02:19:58,471 --> 02:20:01,471
were legacy funds and other

4653
02:20:02,741 --> 02:20:03,420
towns didn't have enough or had

4654
02:20:03,420 --> 02:20:03,709
more.

4655
02:20:03,709 --> 02:20:07,309
But at the same time legacy

4656
02:20:08,447 --> 02:20:09,115
funds actually allowed us

4657
02:20:09,115 --> 02:20:10,820
locally to be able to put

4658
02:20:10,820 --> 02:20:14,282
things into what we need in our

4659
02:20:14,354 --> 02:20:15,221
local towns.

4660
02:20:15,221 --> 02:20:16,880
So I think we really need to

4661
02:20:16,880 --> 02:20:19,688
look at a local perspective on

4662
02:20:21,940 --> 02:20:21,860
the fund.

4663
02:20:21,860 --> 02:20:22,227
It's been taken away from us.

4664
02:20:22,227 --> 02:20:24,227
Thank you.

4665
02:20:25,263 --> 02:20:25,865
Thank you for the five minute

4666
02:20:25,865 --> 02:20:26,466
time or going to those

4667
02:20:26,466 --> 02:20:27,133
participating remotely.

4668
02:20:27,133 --> 02:20:30,133
>> Blair Beckman If you can

4669
02:20:30,703 --> 02:20:31,204

4670
02:20:31,204 --> 02:20:33,204
>> All right.

4671
02:20:35,708 --> 02:20:36,442
Thank you for Beakman Thanks to

4672
02:20:36,442 --> 02:20:37,110
the words of Mark two I started

4673
02:20:37,110 --> 02:20:39,510
to hear really constructive

4674
02:20:40,947 --> 02:20:41,648
ideas about you know, actual

4675
02:20:41,648 --> 02:20:42,348
items agenda items and it was

4676
02:20:42,348 --> 02:20:45,348
really good comment from him.

4677
02:20:47,120 --> 02:20:47,787
You know, I don't know if I

4678
02:20:47,787 --> 02:20:48,487
fully agree with with these

4679
02:20:48,487 --> 02:20:51,487
ideas but it was constructive

4680
02:20:52,157 --> 02:20:52,858
If he works on that working on

4681
02:20:52,858 --> 02:20:53,560
those terms he's he be really

4682
02:20:53,560 --> 02:20:57,160
good for the process and good

4683
02:20:58,364 --> 02:20:58,998
luck He could do that and we

4684
02:20:58,998 --> 02:20:59,732
all understand its current

4685
02:20:59,732 --> 02:21:00,367
feelings how he's being treated

4686
02:21:00,367 --> 02:21:03,367
and I respect his rights.

4687
02:21:04,504 --> 02:21:05,205
I think we all want to respect

4688
02:21:05,205 --> 02:21:05,872
his right to be speaking to

4689
02:21:05,872 --> 02:21:06,372
the subject matter man We'll

4690
02:21:06,372 --> 02:21:08,772
all be going good.

4691
02:21:09,309 --> 02:21:09,609
So good how we can be doing

4692
02:21:09,609 --> 02:21:10,311
that.

4693
02:21:10,311 --> 02:21:10,610
I think he can do well with

4694
02:21:10,610 --> 02:21:10,977
that.

4695
02:21:10,977 --> 02:21:12,977
Thank you.

4696
02:21:14,613 --> 02:21:15,482
I wanted to comment that yeah

4697
02:21:15,482 --> 02:21:20,282
we want to be positive So so we

4698
02:21:20,287 --> 02:21:20,987
stick to the items agenda items

4699
02:21:20,987 --> 02:21:23,987
themselves like myself At this

4700
02:21:25,692 --> 02:21:26,192
time I need to speak to a an

4701
02:21:26,192 --> 02:21:26,893
interesting item.

4702
02:21:26,893 --> 02:21:30,493
I have questions for this item

4703
02:21:31,965 --> 02:21:32,699
you know more than you know

4704
02:21:32,699 --> 02:21:33,299
mainly just questions about how

4705
02:21:33,299 --> 02:21:36,299
do we address the future

4706
02:21:37,771 --> 02:21:38,805
development fees.

4707
02:21:38,805 --> 02:21:39,506
We do deal with it in terms of

4708
02:21:39,506 --> 02:21:42,506
impact fees consistency or do

4709
02:21:44,440 --> 02:21:44,610
we deal as it's a flexible

4710
02:21:44,610 --> 02:21:45,278
variation, a continual

4711
02:21:45,278 --> 02:21:45,811
variation That's the normal

4712
02:21:45,811 --> 02:21:47,811
standard practices.

4713
02:21:48,916 --> 02:21:49,616
It's a respectable way to work.

4714
02:21:49,616 --> 02:21:50,283
>> It accomplishes things.

4715
02:21:50,283 --> 02:21:53,283
Consistency is also a very

4716
02:21:54,421 --> 02:21:54,955
respectable way to work and I

4717
02:21:54,955 --> 02:21:55,622
hope we can consider

4718
02:21:55,622 --> 02:21:58,220
consistency in building our

4719
02:22:00,794 --> 02:22:01,495
future projects and impact

4720
02:22:01,495 --> 02:22:01,828
the issues or a number of

4721
02:22:01,828 --> 02:22:02,196
issues.

4722
02:22:02,196 --> 02:22:02,562
Thank you.

4723
02:22:02,562 --> 02:22:04,297
Thank you.

4726
02:22:10,137 --> 02:22:10,937
>> I'm you.

4727
02:22:10,937 --> 02:22:11,538
>> It's good to hear the city's

4728
02:22:11,538 --> 02:22:13,538
equal opportunity taking

4729
02:22:16,900 --> 02:22:16,643
the money from The Hoya as they

4730
02:22:16,643 --> 02:22:17,110
do like the golf place and

4731
02:22:17,110 --> 02:22:17,778
everybody else.

4732
02:22:17,778 --> 02:22:18,512
Maybe that's a little equity

4733
02:22:18,512 --> 02:22:22,112
show And through the city there

4734
02:22:22,449 --> 02:22:23,417
now and then I'm wondering how

4735
02:22:23,417 --> 02:22:27,617
you guys are going to blame it

4736
02:22:28,588 --> 02:22:29,256
on Trump the vote you did for

4737
02:22:29,256 --> 02:22:32,256
the city meters the parking

4738
02:22:34,928 --> 02:22:35,529
meters that Trump's wall to Is

4739
02:22:35,529 --> 02:22:36,296
it the terrorists fault?

4740
02:22:36,296 --> 02:22:39,699
>> You probably got to find a

4741
02:22:39,699 --> 02:22:40,400
way to pay to go throughout

4742
02:22:40,400 --> 02:22:41,100
the day without blaming Trump

4743
02:22:41,100 --> 02:22:45,300
only one time of day you know

4744
02:22:45,973 --> 02:22:46,739
you just you know, play

4745
02:22:46,739 --> 02:22:47,441
the race card and I'll give you

4746
02:22:47,441 --> 02:22:47,908
three times a day on the race

4747
02:22:47,908 --> 02:22:49,908
card like that.

4748
02:22:52,646 --> 02:22:53,413
But anyway, it's all about

4749
02:22:53,413 --> 02:22:57,613
the money and just we don't got

4750
02:22:57,751 --> 02:22:58,180
any money and that's the way it

4751
02:22:58,180 --> 02:22:58,452
is.

4752
02:22:58,452 --> 02:22:58,852
>> Thank you.

4753
02:22:58,852 --> 02:23:00,852
Thank you.

4754
02:23:02,990 --> 02:23:03,424
That concludes public comment

4755
02:23:03,424 --> 02:23:03,924
on this item.

4756
02:23:03,924 --> 02:23:04,591
>> All right.

4757
02:23:04,591 --> 02:23:07,591
Thank you, City clerk We'll

4758
02:23:10,631 --> 02:23:10,964
turn it over to the council

4759
02:23:10,964 --> 02:23:11,632
please.

4760
02:23:11,632 --> 02:23:12,299
No clapping while people are

4761
02:23:12,299 --> 02:23:15,299
talking Simple ask Well now

4762
02:23:15,803 --> 02:23:16,403
turn over to council for

4763
02:23:16,403 --> 02:23:16,937
questions, comments and

4764
02:23:16,937 --> 02:23:17,671
entertain a motion.

4765
02:23:17,671 --> 02:23:18,380
We'll start with council member

4766
02:23:18,380 --> 02:23:20,380
on Water.

4767
02:23:21,475 --> 02:23:22,443
I thank you for the report on

4768
02:23:22,443 --> 02:23:26,643
our fees and I'm glad that we

4769
02:23:27,815 --> 02:23:28,516
have moved to city wide because

4770
02:23:28,516 --> 02:23:29,216
it's enabling us to spend down

4771
02:23:29,216 --> 02:23:32,216
the smaller lives that weren't

4772
02:23:32,786 --> 02:23:33,120
getting money into their

4773
02:23:33,120 --> 02:23:33,554
pocket.

4774
02:23:33,554 --> 02:23:34,254
That is great.

4775
02:23:34,254 --> 02:23:38,454
At the same time I do not

4776
02:23:38,859 --> 02:23:39,493
believe we are collecting

4777
02:23:39,493 --> 02:23:40,160
enough revenue to actually

4778
02:23:40,160 --> 02:23:40,894
provide the services that we

4779
02:23:40,894 --> 02:23:43,894
promised our residents when new

4780
02:23:44,164 --> 02:23:45,320
development comes in.

4781
02:23:45,320 --> 02:23:45,733
I know we're going to have a

4782
02:23:45,733 --> 02:23:48,133
larger conversation about that

4783
02:23:51,272 --> 02:23:51,906
later so I'm not going to talk

4784
02:23:51,906 --> 02:23:52,707
about Nexus and all that.

4785
02:23:52,707 --> 02:23:53,607
But what I do want to point out

4786
02:23:53,607 --> 02:23:56,543
is that we are severely under

4787
02:23:56,543 --> 02:23:56,844
collecting for what we need to

4788
02:23:56,844 --> 02:23:57,611
build.

4789
02:23:57,611 --> 02:24:00,611
In my district we have

4790
02:24:04,685 --> 02:24:05,453
the trails and what do you

4791
02:24:05,453 --> 02:24:06,187
think you and you village and I

4792
02:24:06,187 --> 02:24:06,887
can even think of all the other

4793
02:24:06,887 --> 02:24:09,622
names of developers coming in

4794
02:24:09,622 --> 02:24:10,324
and they were supposed to build

4795
02:24:10,324 --> 02:24:10,691
parks but they're not in Black

4796
02:24:10,691 --> 02:24:11,392
Mountain.

4797
02:24:11,392 --> 02:24:14,992
Phase two is already going to

4798
02:24:16,597 --> 02:24:17,980
be cut in half And so what do

4799
02:24:17,980 --> 02:24:17,765
we do about this?

4800
02:24:17,765 --> 02:24:18,499
They promise that all these

4801
02:24:18,499 --> 02:24:19,660
parks and fire stations whatnot

4802
02:24:19,660 --> 02:24:21,660
are not delivering.

4803
02:24:25,239 --> 02:24:25,907
How do we hold them to this for

4804
02:24:25,907 --> 02:24:26,339
the particular projects that

4805
02:24:26,339 --> 02:24:28,339
are at issue?

4806
02:24:31,612 --> 02:24:32,313
I will have to confer with our

4807
02:24:32,313 --> 02:24:33,140
department services department

4808
02:24:33,140 --> 02:24:33,747
and get back to your office on

4809
02:24:33,747 --> 02:24:36,747
the particular details of those

4810
02:24:37,585 --> 02:24:38,252
developments And then with

4811
02:24:38,252 --> 02:24:38,920
respect to your questions of

4812
02:24:38,920 --> 02:24:41,920
the overall funding, we are

4813
02:24:44,158 --> 02:24:44,925
constrained development impact

4814
02:24:44,925 --> 02:24:49,125
fees do fund or are able to

4815
02:24:49,564 --> 02:24:50,231
fund the amount attributable to

4816
02:24:50,231 --> 02:24:50,631
the burden posed by the new

4817
02:24:50,631 --> 02:24:51,299
development.

4818
02:24:51,299 --> 02:24:51,899
But we are not permitted to

4819
02:24:51,899 --> 02:24:54,899
charge an amount that is

4820
02:24:55,603 --> 02:24:56,337
greater than that amount.

4821
02:24:56,337 --> 02:24:57,380
As you mentioned, the City

4822
02:24:57,380 --> 02:24:59,438
Planning Department is working

4823
02:25:01,776 --> 02:25:02,443
on updating our nexus studies

4824
02:25:02,443 --> 02:25:03,440
for the citywide development

4825
02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:05,745
impact fees And so I do

4826
02:25:05,745 --> 02:25:06,379
anticipate and welcome a larger

4827
02:25:06,379 --> 02:25:08,779
conversation in the coming

4828
02:25:12,754 --> 02:25:13,121
months on that issue.

4829
02:25:13,121 --> 02:25:13,888
Okay.

4830
02:25:13,888 --> 02:25:14,556
So then what we the Planning

4831
02:25:14,556 --> 02:25:15,256
Department we discussed how

4832
02:25:15,256 --> 02:25:18,759
much it should be or say, you

4833
02:25:18,759 --> 02:25:19,494
know, you guys brought forward

4834
02:25:19,494 --> 02:25:23,940
the Trails project and they had

4835
02:25:23,965 --> 02:25:24,632
promised you 3600 and

4836
02:25:24,632 --> 02:25:27,320
recreational point value and

4837
02:25:29,937 --> 02:25:30,638
electric vehicle all the things

4838
02:25:30,638 --> 02:25:31,390
they promised and they're not

4839
02:25:31,390 --> 02:25:31,673
delivering.

4840
02:25:31,673 --> 02:25:31,973
And so what do we do about

4841
02:25:31,973 --> 02:25:32,640
that?

4842
02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:35,640
Is that your department who

4843
02:25:35,877 --> 02:25:36,511
enforces it or who so all

4844
02:25:36,511 --> 02:25:37,111
permitting is done through

4845
02:25:37,111 --> 02:25:37,679
the department Services

4846
02:25:37,679 --> 02:25:40,790
Department And so any

4847
02:25:42,183 --> 02:25:42,884
conditions related to park

4848
02:25:42,884 --> 02:25:43,551
improvements provided on site

4849
02:25:43,551 --> 02:25:45,951
would go through department

4850
02:25:48,880 --> 02:25:48,756
service department, city

4851
02:25:48,756 --> 02:25:49,423
Planning Department opposes

4852
02:25:49,423 --> 02:25:49,758
the department impact fees.

4853
02:25:49,758 --> 02:25:51,758
>> Yes.

4854
02:25:53,728 --> 02:25:54,429
But you also bring us

4855
02:25:54,429 --> 02:25:55,960
the projects to approve them.

4856
02:25:55,960 --> 02:25:55,730
They're going to build these

4857
02:25:55,730 --> 02:25:56,300
parks and then they don't.

4858
02:25:56,300 --> 02:25:56,731
Yeah.

4859
02:25:56,731 --> 02:25:59,731
So those projects are brought

4860
02:25:59,834 --> 02:26:00,435
forward by department services

4861
02:26:00,435 --> 02:26:01,102
department and so we can

4862
02:26:01,102 --> 02:26:01,902
connect with that department

4863
02:26:01,902 --> 02:26:06,102
and get back to you on any

4864
02:26:06,241 --> 02:26:07,410
specific details for those

4865
02:26:07,410 --> 02:26:10,641
projects or anyone here who can

4866
02:26:12,714 --> 02:26:13,248
answer the question since we're

4867
02:26:13,248 --> 02:26:15,248
talking about this.

4868
02:26:18,452 --> 02:26:19,540
No, that's my I don't believe

4869
02:26:19,540 --> 02:26:19,554
anybody from Development

4870
02:26:19,554 --> 02:26:20,255
Services is here.

4871
02:26:20,255 --> 02:26:20,956
I know staff has met with your

4872
02:26:20,956 --> 02:26:24,326
team a number of times on this

4873
02:26:24,326 --> 02:26:24,926
project more than happy to

4874
02:26:24,926 --> 02:26:25,560
continue meeting on this

4875
02:26:25,560 --> 02:26:26,930
project to make sure that

4876
02:26:26,930 --> 02:26:28,493
the promises made to

4877
02:26:30,198 --> 02:26:30,665
the community are executed and

4878
02:26:30,665 --> 02:26:31,466
delivered upon.

4879
02:26:31,466 --> 02:26:32,167
But I think we would have to

4880
02:26:32,167 --> 02:26:36,367
set up a follow up call with

4881
02:26:36,905 --> 02:26:37,305
dsd and your team to to hash

4882
02:26:37,305 --> 02:26:37,707
that out.

4883
02:26:37,707 --> 02:26:39,707
>> Okay.

4884
02:26:41,742 --> 02:26:42,543
So this is the conversation So

4885
02:26:42,543 --> 02:26:43,211
if somebody wants to build a

4886
02:26:43,211 --> 02:26:43,878
project in anyone's district

4887
02:26:43,878 --> 02:26:46,878
they have 100 houses say and

4888
02:26:48,550 --> 02:26:49,500
instead of paying into the city

4889
02:26:49,500 --> 02:26:49,751
by different parks

4890
02:26:49,751 --> 02:26:50,418
the developer says we're going

4891
02:26:50,418 --> 02:26:51,860
to build the park on site so

4892
02:26:51,860 --> 02:26:53,688
then they don't have to pay

4893
02:26:53,688 --> 02:26:54,220
the debt.

4894
02:26:54,220 --> 02:26:54,690
Correct.

4895
02:26:54,690 --> 02:26:55,357
There are certain procedures

4896
02:26:55,357 --> 02:26:56,910
where you can be exempt from

4897
02:26:56,910 --> 02:26:59,691
payment of the diff when you're

4898
02:26:59,860 --> 02:27:00,595
providing on site parks And so

4899
02:27:00,595 --> 02:27:01,363
if a park is not being provided

4900
02:27:01,363 --> 02:27:04,963
on site then they do not

4901
02:27:05,567 --> 02:27:06,268
receive that that corresponding

4902
02:27:06,268 --> 02:27:06,935
exemption from the department

4903
02:27:06,935 --> 02:27:10,535
impact fee and they would be

4904
02:27:10,772 --> 02:27:11,730
subject to the payment of that

4905
02:27:11,730 --> 02:27:11,840
.

4906
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:12,574
It's not always straightforward

4907
02:27:12,574 --> 02:27:15,574
because we are restricted under

4908
02:27:16,511 --> 02:27:17,212
state law under which fee

4909
02:27:17,212 --> 02:27:17,913
schedule we can impose due to

4910
02:27:17,913 --> 02:27:20,913
the timing of the application

4911
02:27:22,584 --> 02:27:23,452
that that development came in

4912
02:27:23,452 --> 02:27:24,185
And so we would have to do more

4913
02:27:24,185 --> 02:27:28,385
of a deep dive analysis and get

4914
02:27:28,957 --> 02:27:29,591
back to our office on what

4915
02:27:29,591 --> 02:27:30,258
the particulars of that

4916
02:27:30,258 --> 02:27:30,993
department impact fee would

4917
02:27:30,993 --> 02:27:35,193
look like where the park is not

4918
02:27:35,397 --> 02:27:36,300
being provided or what are

4919
02:27:36,300 --> 02:27:36,765
the fire station You know

4920
02:27:36,765 --> 02:27:37,432
the fire station block on ranch

4921
02:27:37,432 --> 02:27:40,269
was supposed to be built way

4922
02:27:40,269 --> 02:27:40,701
before I got elected by

4923
02:27:40,701 --> 02:27:41,370
the developer.

4924
02:27:41,370 --> 02:27:42,370
They never did to the city,

4925
02:27:42,370 --> 02:27:45,637
picked up the tab and we're

4926
02:27:47,609 --> 02:27:48,377
doing it now in the next I'm

4927
02:27:48,377 --> 02:27:49,111
not going to put in an access

4928
02:27:49,111 --> 02:27:52,314
fee study if people say they're

4929
02:27:52,314 --> 02:27:53,181
going to do things that are not

4930
02:27:53,181 --> 02:27:53,882
you know we have no teeth built

4931
02:27:53,882 --> 02:27:54,216
in to actually require them to

4932
02:27:54,216 --> 02:27:54,917
do this.

4933
02:27:54,917 --> 02:27:58,517
They can build all the housing

4934
02:27:59,420 --> 02:28:00,122
they want Then when it comes to

4935
02:28:00,122 --> 02:28:00,756
the amenities like oh it's too

4936
02:28:00,756 --> 02:28:01,457
expensive sorry community,

4937
02:28:01,457 --> 02:28:01,723
we're going to build these for

4938
02:28:01,723 --> 02:28:02,423
you.

4939
02:28:02,423 --> 02:28:03,792
Why don't we put it that they

4940
02:28:03,792 --> 02:28:04,425
have to build the park first

4941
02:28:04,425 --> 02:28:05,127
for the fire station first

4942
02:28:05,127 --> 02:28:08,727
before they can sell a house?

4943
02:28:10,399 --> 02:28:11,100
You know I just this is

4944
02:28:11,100 --> 02:28:11,800
happening over and over in our

4945
02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:12,500
community and we're certainly

4946
02:28:12,500 --> 02:28:13,202
not collecting enough the fees

4947
02:28:13,202 --> 02:28:13,636
to build out the fire stations

4948
02:28:13,636 --> 02:28:15,636
that we need.

4949
02:28:15,904 --> 02:28:16,605
I mean we just heard from

4950
02:28:16,605 --> 02:28:17,206
the fire rescue department how

4951
02:28:17,206 --> 02:28:17,905
they are working out of

4952
02:28:17,905 --> 02:28:20,305
crumbling facilities and they

4953
02:28:22,311 --> 02:28:22,845
collected over $1 million in

4954
02:28:22,845 --> 02:28:25,845
the fees for a fire.

4955
02:28:28,150 --> 02:28:28,817
It just isn't working.

4956
02:28:28,817 --> 02:28:29,518
You know, we promise our

4957
02:28:29,518 --> 02:28:29,885
communities are going to have

4958
02:28:29,885 --> 02:28:30,619
amenities.

4959
02:28:30,619 --> 02:28:33,956
We bring new development in and

4960
02:28:33,956 --> 02:28:34,489
then they don't And I just I

4961
02:28:34,489 --> 02:28:35,124
don't understand how

4962
02:28:35,124 --> 02:28:35,858
the planning department is

4963
02:28:35,858 --> 02:28:38,858
engaged in enforcing the things

4964
02:28:40,462 --> 02:28:44,662
that you bring to us, you know,

4965
02:28:45,568 --> 02:28:46,335
So we're just go in the back

4966
02:28:46,335 --> 02:28:47,690
over and over and I'm not going

4967
02:28:47,690 --> 02:28:47,769
to approve a new negative study

4968
02:28:47,769 --> 02:28:50,769
unless there's actual teeth to

4969
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:52,700
it.

4970
02:28:52,700 --> 02:28:52,675
So so just a quick point of

4971
02:28:52,675 --> 02:28:54,675
clarification When negative

4972
02:28:57,646 --> 02:28:58,380
duties are approved,

4973
02:28:58,380 --> 02:28:59,114
the council adopts a resolution

4974
02:28:59,114 --> 02:28:59,748
imposing the fees and those are

4975
02:28:59,748 --> 02:29:02,748
the fees that the Planning

4976
02:29:03,860 --> 02:29:03,752
Department does impose on each

4977
02:29:03,752 --> 02:29:04,453
project that comes forward.

4978
02:29:04,453 --> 02:29:05,154
There are some larger projects

4979
02:29:05,154 --> 02:29:05,654
particularly in your district

4980
02:29:05,654 --> 02:29:07,654
that have separate

4981
02:29:09,825 --> 02:29:10,359
discretionary approvals that

4982
02:29:10,359 --> 02:29:11,250
outline certain park

4983
02:29:11,250 --> 02:29:11,460
improvements that are being

4984
02:29:11,460 --> 02:29:12,194
brought forth.

4985
02:29:12,194 --> 02:29:15,130
The details of those particular

4986
02:29:15,130 --> 02:29:17,530
project specific approvals are

4987
02:29:21,604 --> 02:29:21,937
enforced through the permit

4988
02:29:21,937 --> 02:29:22,571
process.

4989
02:29:22,571 --> 02:29:23,272
But with respect to the on

4990
02:29:23,272 --> 02:29:23,873
the impact fees, the next two

4991
02:29:23,873 --> 02:29:26,273
studies that the Council

4992
02:29:26,741 --> 02:29:27,476
approves and the corresponding

4993
02:29:27,476 --> 02:29:30,476
fees our department does impose

4994
02:29:33,749 --> 02:29:34,580
for each developer project.

4995
02:29:34,580 --> 02:29:34,783
Okay.

4996
02:29:34,783 --> 02:29:35,518
Well we'll have to have a

4997
02:29:35,518 --> 02:29:36,118
conversation when the next test

4998
02:29:36,118 --> 02:29:39,118
becomes I'm just sick of

4999
02:29:39,789 --> 02:29:40,456
the city but we're in the bad

5000
02:29:40,456 --> 02:29:41,257
with people promises things

5001
02:29:41,257 --> 02:29:45,294
they don't do it so okay Thank

5002
02:29:45,294 --> 02:29:45,695
you.

5003
02:29:45,695 --> 02:29:46,950
All right.

5004
02:29:46,950 --> 02:29:46,795
Thank you.

5005
02:29:46,795 --> 02:29:47,363
Councilmember Von Wilpert not

5006
02:29:47,363 --> 02:29:48,310
turning on the lights.

5007
02:29:48,310 --> 02:29:50,666
I'm going to move the staff

5008
02:29:50,666 --> 02:29:51,200
recommendation and then a

5009
02:29:51,200 --> 02:29:53,200
couple of questions.

5010
02:29:54,537 --> 02:29:55,437
One, as you brief me this is an

5011
02:29:55,437 --> 02:29:56,105
f y 2025 report So it's not

5012
02:29:56,105 --> 02:29:59,105
where we are today although

5013
02:30:00,943 --> 02:30:01,577
there are some questions about

5014
02:30:01,577 --> 02:30:02,178
the current fund balances.

5015
02:30:02,178 --> 02:30:04,578
So that's Appreciate it.

5016
02:30:06,381 --> 02:30:07,830
I know one of the conversations

5017
02:30:07,830 --> 02:30:10,683
about our crb process is which

5018
02:30:12,522 --> 02:30:13,189
funds are most flexible and

5019
02:30:13,189 --> 02:30:13,890
let's pick those up first

5020
02:30:13,890 --> 02:30:14,357
before we do the ones that are

5021
02:30:14,357 --> 02:30:15,570
a lot of things.

5022
02:30:15,570 --> 02:30:18,570
Is there anything that this

5023
02:30:18,928 --> 02:30:19,596
council needs to do on a

5024
02:30:19,596 --> 02:30:20,296
legislative or policy level

5025
02:30:20,296 --> 02:30:23,896
that makes it easier to spend

5026
02:30:24,634 --> 02:30:25,401
down the community?

5027
02:30:25,401 --> 02:30:26,102
>> Yes, I can assure you

5028
02:30:26,102 --> 02:30:29,702
the city staff has worked with

5029
02:30:31,341 --> 02:30:31,975
many city departments including

5030
02:30:31,975 --> 02:30:32,675
each of the asset manager

5031
02:30:32,675 --> 02:30:33,309
departments, internal capital

5032
02:30:33,309 --> 02:30:35,709
projects and Department of

5033
02:30:36,545 --> 02:30:37,213
Finance to as well as ideas

5034
02:30:37,213 --> 02:30:37,814
office to identify ways to

5035
02:30:37,814 --> 02:30:40,814
spend down this money in

5036
02:30:42,719 --> 02:30:43,190
the most efficient way possible

5037
02:30:43,190 --> 02:30:43,853
.

5038
02:30:43,853 --> 02:30:44,487
There are a lot of constraints

5039
02:30:44,487 --> 02:30:45,188
that we are up against and

5040
02:30:45,188 --> 02:30:48,188
the city unfortunately has its

5041
02:30:48,591 --> 02:30:49,292
hands tied on due to

5042
02:30:49,292 --> 02:30:49,926
constitutional limitations as

5043
02:30:49,926 --> 02:30:52,926
well as mitigation fee Act

5044
02:30:54,998 --> 02:30:55,698
requirements Procedurally it is

5045
02:30:55,698 --> 02:30:56,332
also not as simple as amending

5046
02:30:56,332 --> 02:30:57,000
state law because a lot of

5047
02:30:57,000 --> 02:30:59,400
these requirements stem from

5048
02:31:01,437 --> 02:31:02,138
the constitution itself And so

5049
02:31:02,138 --> 02:31:03,720
those are the constraints that

5050
02:31:03,720 --> 02:31:07,610
we have But we do kind of do

5051
02:31:07,610 --> 02:31:08,211
the opposite of what you said

5052
02:31:08,211 --> 02:31:08,845
is that we use the most

5053
02:31:08,845 --> 02:31:09,479
constrained funding source

5054
02:31:09,479 --> 02:31:12,479
first when we're funding a

5055
02:31:13,750 --> 02:31:14,417
project And Department of

5056
02:31:14,417 --> 02:31:15,118
Finance works very carefully

5057
02:31:15,118 --> 02:31:15,818
with our team in city planning

5058
02:31:15,818 --> 02:31:19,422
to be able to do that and make

5059
02:31:19,422 --> 02:31:20,890
sure that we are leaving

5060
02:31:20,890 --> 02:31:20,657
the more flexible funds for

5061
02:31:20,657 --> 02:31:21,257
more flexible funding.

5062
02:31:21,257 --> 02:31:24,257
But when we can allocate

5063
02:31:25,610 --> 02:31:25,762
the projects that have that

5064
02:31:25,762 --> 02:31:26,162
more constrained funding those

5065
02:31:26,162 --> 02:31:26,496
do go first.

5066
02:31:26,496 --> 02:31:28,496
>> Okay.

5067
02:31:31,467 --> 02:31:31,901
Thank you for politely

5068
02:31:31,901 --> 02:31:32,636
correcting.

5069
02:31:32,636 --> 02:31:36,139
One of things you noticed is

5070
02:31:36,139 --> 02:31:36,540
this issue about the five year

5071
02:31:36,540 --> 02:31:37,273
limitation.

5072
02:31:37,273 --> 02:31:37,741
I think you're resolving two of

5073
02:31:37,741 --> 02:31:39,741
the communities.

5074
02:31:41,244 --> 02:31:41,845
I think there's still three

5075
02:31:41,845 --> 02:31:42,512
left to in my district.

5076
02:31:42,512 --> 02:31:46,112
Do we have a game plan?

5077
02:31:46,650 --> 02:31:50,250
Are we at risk or Yes.

5078
02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:53,690
So we do identify the whole

5079
02:31:53,690 --> 02:31:54,423
purpose of one of the main

5080
02:31:54,423 --> 02:31:55,580
purposes of this report that is

5081
02:31:55,580 --> 02:31:58,658
before you is that we are

5082
02:31:59,129 --> 02:31:59,863
required to make findings to

5083
02:31:59,863 --> 02:32:00,330
keep funds and account for more

5084
02:32:00,330 --> 02:32:00,997
than five years.

5085
02:32:00,997 --> 02:32:04,367
So the findings for each of

5086
02:32:04,367 --> 02:32:04,968
those are included in

5087
02:32:04,968 --> 02:32:05,602
the materials included.

5088
02:32:05,602 --> 02:32:06,302
As part of this we do have

5089
02:32:06,302 --> 02:32:08,302
additional projects identified

5090
02:32:10,574 --> 02:32:11,274
for expenditure and then I'll

5091
02:32:11,274 --> 02:32:14,874
let my team speak to future

5092
02:32:17,414 --> 02:32:18,810
allocations as well.

5093
02:32:18,810 --> 02:32:18,782
We have five accounts with

5094
02:32:18,782 --> 02:32:19,449
moneys in the account that has

5095
02:32:19,449 --> 02:32:23,190
been in five years but no

5096
02:32:23,190 --> 02:32:23,687
projects or two of them we're

5097
02:32:23,687 --> 02:32:26,687
bringing forward Two of them

5098
02:32:27,224 --> 02:32:27,991
are being funded by item and

5099
02:32:27,991 --> 02:32:28,625
then one other one is Gama

5100
02:32:28,625 --> 02:32:29,292
Valley which over the last

5101
02:32:29,292 --> 02:32:32,292
three years we have reduced

5102
02:32:33,730 --> 02:32:34,498
the fund balance significantly.

5103
02:32:34,498 --> 02:32:34,831
I think we had around $12

5104
02:32:34,831 --> 02:32:35,565
million.

5105
02:32:35,565 --> 02:32:35,999
We brought it down to more like

5106
02:32:35,999 --> 02:32:37,999
$1.2 million.

5107
02:32:39,737 --> 02:32:40,437
There are certain active

5108
02:32:40,437 --> 02:32:41,710
projects but they don't have a

5109
02:32:41,710 --> 02:32:41,772
funding need at this time.

5110
02:32:41,772 --> 02:32:42,339
But as construction progresses

5111
02:32:42,339 --> 02:32:45,939
that is going to be an

5112
02:32:46,760 --> 02:32:46,810
opportunity and that's how we

5113
02:32:46,810 --> 02:32:47,378
will manage the additional $1.2

5114
02:32:47,378 --> 02:32:47,778
million that is due in

5115
02:32:47,778 --> 02:32:49,778
the account.

5116
02:32:52,216 --> 02:32:52,916
We're not appropriating it to a

5117
02:32:52,916 --> 02:32:53,650
specific project at this time

5118
02:32:53,650 --> 02:32:54,840
but we will keep an eye out and

5119
02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:56,840
work on that.

5120
02:32:57,688 --> 02:32:58,255
Okay.

5121
02:32:58,255 --> 02:32:59,550
Thank you very much.

5122
02:32:59,550 --> 02:32:59,690
You have way too many buckets

5123
02:32:59,690 --> 02:33:03,290
of money to manage but I

5124
02:33:03,360 --> 02:33:04,127
appreciate the good work that

5125
02:33:04,127 --> 02:33:08,327
you do and somehow I take a

5126
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:10,666
hold of it and community is

5127
02:33:10,666 --> 02:33:14,266
still kind of the legacy for

5128
02:33:16,390 --> 02:33:16,640
projects that were covered by

5129
02:33:16,640 --> 02:33:17,340
that when we still have

5130
02:33:17,340 --> 02:33:18,420
the community depth And so you

5131
02:33:18,420 --> 02:33:21,642
still have to manage those and

5132
02:33:22,379 --> 02:33:22,880
spend them down and track them

5133
02:33:22,880 --> 02:33:23,680
and all that.

5134
02:33:23,680 --> 02:33:23,981
So thank you for that very good

5135
02:33:23,981 --> 02:33:24,748
work.

5136
02:33:24,748 --> 02:33:28,840
So I did move the staff

5137
02:33:28,840 --> 02:33:28,751
recommendation.

5138
02:33:28,751 --> 02:33:29,320
>> We'll go next to

5139
02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:29,586
Councilmember Foster.

5140
02:33:29,586 --> 02:33:30,320
Yes.

5141
02:33:30,320 --> 02:33:33,320
Thank you council PRESIDENT And

5142
02:33:33,557 --> 02:33:34,491
thank you for the presentation.

5143
02:33:34,491 --> 02:33:39,291
I just wanted to as I look at

5144
02:33:40,731 --> 02:33:41,398
this item I understand we have

5145
02:33:41,398 --> 02:33:41,999
some difference in salary in

5146
02:33:41,999 --> 02:33:43,999
council neighborhood is

5147
02:33:46,270 --> 02:33:46,937
possible if we can fall back,

5148
02:33:46,937 --> 02:33:47,605
get a commitment, fall back,

5149
02:33:47,605 --> 02:33:48,339
have some conversations and

5150
02:33:48,339 --> 02:33:51,742
look at how we can deploy those

5151
02:33:51,742 --> 02:33:52,109
dollars and get them actually

5152
02:33:52,109 --> 02:33:52,910
in place.

5153
02:33:52,910 --> 02:33:56,981
I think it would be a very,

5154
02:33:56,981 --> 02:33:57,581
very good conversation if

5155
02:33:57,581 --> 02:33:58,249
you're open to that.

5156
02:33:58,249 --> 02:34:00,649
Yes Councilmember, there is

5157
02:34:03,921 --> 02:34:04,622
about $800,000 in the difficult

5158
02:34:04,622 --> 02:34:05,322
for Encanto neighborhoods and

5159
02:34:05,322 --> 02:34:05,989
we're happy to work with your

5160
02:34:05,989 --> 02:34:06,590
office to identify projects

5161
02:34:06,590 --> 02:34:09,590
that that funding can be

5162
02:34:10,161 --> 02:34:10,528
allocated toward.

5163
02:34:10,528 --> 02:34:11,610
Okay.

5164
02:34:11,610 --> 02:34:11,862
I appreciate that.

5165
02:34:11,862 --> 02:34:15,933
And also how are we doing in

5166
02:34:15,933 --> 02:34:16,333
regards to our fire Um fire

5167
02:34:16,333 --> 02:34:17,340
allocation.

5168
02:34:17,340 --> 02:34:20,340
We have Station 51 there that

5169
02:34:22,106 --> 02:34:23,740
is still a temporary facility

5170
02:34:23,740 --> 02:34:23,774
And um, you know I made this

5171
02:34:23,774 --> 02:34:27,374
thing before and I'll make it

5172
02:34:27,712 --> 02:34:28,412
again I'm not going to be

5173
02:34:28,412 --> 02:34:29,113
supportive of any other fire

5174
02:34:29,113 --> 02:34:32,113
stations and I'm referring to

5175
02:34:33,717 --> 02:34:34,585
Fairmont Avenue Fire Station

5176
02:34:34,585 --> 02:34:37,585
until 51 is we receive a

5177
02:34:39,890 --> 02:34:40,223
permanent facility per council

5178
02:34:40,223 --> 02:34:40,991
member.

5179
02:34:40,991 --> 02:34:41,626
I'll have to get back to you on

5180
02:34:41,626 --> 02:34:42,260
the current status of Fire

5181
02:34:42,260 --> 02:34:44,260
Station 51.

5182
02:34:46,230 --> 02:34:46,931
I do recognize the Fairmont

5183
02:34:46,931 --> 02:34:49,931
fire station allocation as it

5184
02:34:51,436 --> 02:34:52,136
reads in the report It is a

5185
02:34:52,136 --> 02:34:52,903
look back to what was invested

5186
02:34:52,903 --> 02:34:57,703
to get us to this point now So

5187
02:34:58,476 --> 02:34:59,209
no future allocations and it's

5188
02:34:59,209 --> 02:34:59,944
not funding any future work And

5189
02:34:59,944 --> 02:35:04,282
so I think it meets the goal of

5190
02:35:04,282 --> 02:35:04,882
not pursuing that until

5191
02:35:04,882 --> 02:35:05,249
the fire Station 51 is

5192
02:35:05,249 --> 02:35:05,917
resolved.

5193
02:35:05,917 --> 02:35:09,517
I'll do follow up with your

5194
02:35:10,121 --> 02:35:10,387

5195
02:35:10,387 --> 02:35:10,822

5196
02:35:10,822 --> 02:35:11,356

Community parking districts

5249
02:36:40,946 --> 02:36:41,680
were originally established to

5250
02:36:41,680 --> 02:36:42,414
manage a portion of the parking

5251
02:36:42,414 --> 02:36:45,414

reinvested back into

02:36:47,585 --> 02:36:47,953
the communities where they are

5254
02:36:47,953 --> 02:36:49,953
generated.

5255
02:36:51,223 --> 02:36:51,923
There are eight established

5256
02:36:51,923 --> 02:36:52,389
parking meter zones currently

5257
02:36:52,389 --> 02:36:53,230
there are five.

and Balboa Park.

5261
02:37:02,901 --> 02:37:03,635
Parking meter revenues must

5262
02:37:03,635 --> 02:37:04,336
remain within the parking meter

5263
02:37:04,336 --> 02:37:07,336

OCTOBER 2025 Council powers cpd

5267

02:37:21,190 --> 02:37:21,753
Council Policy 100 Dash 18

5269
02:37:21,753 --> 02:37:24,153
through fiscal year 2027 That's

5270
02:37:25,857 --> 02:37:26,524
a two year pause allowing

5271
02:37:26,524 --> 02:37:27,225
parking meter revenues to be

5272
02:37:27,225 --> 02:37:27,893
prioritized for transportation

5273
02:37:27,893 --> 02:37:29,893

02:37:33,310 --> 02:37:33,665
Council allocate add $1.8

5275
02:37:33,665 --> 02:37:34,266
million to Transportation

Department to accelerate

5277
02:37:38,869 --> 02:37:39,604
delivery of transportation

5278
02:37:39,604 --> 02:37:40,305
infrastructure maintenance work

5279
02:37:40,305 --> 02:37:43,305
within the parking meter zones

5280
02:37:44,977 --> 02:37:45,277
beyond their normal operations

5281
02:37:45,277 --> 02:37:45,911
.

5282
02:37:45,911 --> 02:37:46,578
The intent was to provide

5283
02:37:46,578 --> 02:37:47,246
additional capacity through

5284
02:37:47,246 --> 02:37:50,246
overtime so city crews could

5285
02:37:50,916 --> 02:37:51,650
make meaningful progress on

5286
02:37:51,650 --> 02:37:52,284
long standing maintenance needs

5287
02:37:52,284 --> 02:37:54,284
and transportation safety

5288
02:37:56,555 --> 02:37:57,256
improvements.

5289
02:37:57,256 --> 02:37:59,656
Since that initial allocation

5290
02:38:03,262 --> 02:38:03,862
td has completed a significant

5291
02:38:03,862 --> 02:38:04,463
amount of infrastructure

5292
02:38:04,463 --> 02:38:05,640
maintenance work within

5293
02:38:05,640 --> 02:38:07,464
the parking meter zones.

5294
02:38:09,468 --> 02:38:10,169
These are extra repair work

5295
02:38:10,169 --> 02:38:10,903
being done in O.T. And speeds

5296
02:38:10,903 --> 02:38:13,303
are receiving enhanced services

5297
02:38:14,273 --> 02:38:15,107
compared to non cpd areas.

5298
02:38:15,107 --> 02:38:17,107
Improvements include over 2000

5299
02:38:18,810 --> 02:38:19,444
streetlight restorations more

5300
02:38:19,444 --> 02:38:21,444
than 3300 pothole repairs,

5301
02:38:24,116 --> 02:38:24,850
sidewalk improvements nearly

5302
02:38:24,850 --> 02:38:27,250
50,000 linear feet of crosswalk

5303
02:38:28,854 --> 02:38:29,555
striping at nearly 100

5304
02:38:29,555 --> 02:38:30,188
intersections traffic signage,

5305
02:38:30,188 --> 02:38:32,588
pavement markings and over

5306
02:38:35,160 --> 02:38:35,861
20,000 linear feet of ab four

5307
02:38:35,861 --> 02:38:36,462
went three at the red curbing

5308
02:38:36,462 --> 02:38:37,290
at intersections per day

5309
02:38:37,290 --> 02:38:39,290
lighting improvements.

5310
02:38:40,980 --> 02:38:40,765
These investments greatly

5311
02:38:40,765 --> 02:38:41,466
support neighborhood safety

5312
02:38:41,466 --> 02:38:42,134
accessibility and vision zero

5313
02:38:42,134 --> 02:38:45,134
goals td has been providing

5314
02:38:46,639 --> 02:38:47,273
regular monthly updates to

5315
02:38:47,273 --> 02:38:47,873
council offices on project

5316
02:38:47,873 --> 02:38:49,873
status expenditures and

5317
02:38:55,247 --> 02:38:55,915
accomplishments to date.

5318
02:38:55,915 --> 02:38:56,515
>> So while significant

5319
02:38:56,515 --> 02:38:57,182
progress has been made,

5320
02:38:57,182 --> 02:38:59,182
substantial maintenance and

5321
02:39:01,453 --> 02:39:01,986
safety needs remain within all

5322
02:39:01,986 --> 02:39:02,688
parking meter zones.

5323
02:39:02,688 --> 02:39:05,880
Existing backlogs continue to

5324
02:39:06,792 --> 02:39:07,526
include the streetlight repairs

5325
02:39:07,526 --> 02:39:08,126
,the sidewalk repairs, traffic

5326
02:39:08,126 --> 02:39:10,526
safety upgrades and some

5327
02:39:12,798 --> 02:39:13,980
efficiency related improvements

5328
02:39:13,980 --> 02:39:13,732
.

5329
02:39:13,732 --> 02:39:14,366
Many of these requests

5330
02:39:14,366 --> 02:39:14,934
originate from Get It Done

5331
02:39:14,934 --> 02:39:15,501
reports or stakeholder

5332
02:39:15,501 --> 02:39:17,501
feedbacks and ongoing

5333
02:39:19,538 --> 02:39:20,272
operational assessment.

5334
02:39:20,272 --> 02:39:20,939
So continued funding will allow

5335
02:39:20,939 --> 02:39:23,939
td to maintain momentum and

5336
02:39:24,744 --> 02:39:25,444
continue addressing these

5337
02:39:25,444 --> 02:39:26,780
critical infrastructure needs

5338
02:39:26,780 --> 02:39:28,780
without interruption into

5339
02:39:29,448 --> 02:39:29,982
fiscal year 2027.

5340
02:39:29,982 --> 02:39:30,549
Again, the funding

5341
02:39:30,549 --> 02:39:31,250
appropriation provides

5342
02:39:31,250 --> 02:39:33,250
supplemental funding primarily

5343
02:39:35,855 --> 02:39:36,522
through overtime to deliver

5344
02:39:36,522 --> 02:39:37,256
transportation improvements

5345
02:39:37,256 --> 02:39:37,957
beyond what can be accomplished

5346
02:39:37,957 --> 02:39:40,357
through our normal operations

5347
02:39:41,394 --> 02:39:42,128
alone.

5348
02:39:42,128 --> 02:39:45,128
We continue to maintain ongoing

5349
02:39:47,633 --> 02:39:48,334
coordination with cpd

5350
02:39:48,334 --> 02:39:48,968
stakeholders, council offices

5351
02:39:48,968 --> 02:39:49,602
and community partners to

5352
02:39:49,602 --> 02:39:51,602
discuss the transportation

5353
02:39:53,372 --> 02:39:53,939
infrastructure needs and

5354
02:39:53,939 --> 02:39:55,939
investment priorities.

5355
02:39:58,110 --> 02:39:58,811
At the end of MAY last month we

5356
02:39:58,811 --> 02:39:59,512
held four meetings requesting

5357
02:39:59,512 --> 02:40:02,512
for their feedback on these

5358
02:40:04,684 --> 02:40:05,384
priorities.

5359
02:40:05,384 --> 02:40:06,118
We also invited community and

5360
02:40:06,118 --> 02:40:08,518
planning groups that previously

5361
02:40:09,822 --> 02:40:10,122
had no role in the cpd funding

5362
02:40:10,122 --> 02:40:10,989
.

5363
02:40:10,989 --> 02:40:11,691
We compiled a list of their

5364
02:40:11,691 --> 02:40:12,390
priorities for fiscal year 27

5365
02:40:12,390 --> 02:40:15,990
and we'll be looking at those

5366
02:40:17,960 --> 02:40:17,830
requests to see which ones we

5367
02:40:17,830 --> 02:40:18,497
can implement Given the limited

5368
02:40:18,497 --> 02:40:20,897
funding available we remain

5369
02:40:23,369 --> 02:40:24,103
committed to regular

5370
02:40:24,103 --> 02:40:24,806
communication including monthly

5371
02:40:24,806 --> 02:40:27,806
progress updates and will work

5372
02:40:29,141 --> 02:40:29,742
collaboratively with cpd

5373
02:40:29,742 --> 02:40:30,410
stakeholders to promote

5374
02:40:30,410 --> 02:40:31,430
transparency, accountability

5375
02:40:31,430 --> 02:40:31,544
and ongoing investments in

5376
02:40:31,544 --> 02:40:33,544
the neighborhood.

5377
02:40:38,718 --> 02:40:39,519
Transportation improvements.

5378
02:40:39,519 --> 02:40:40,253
>> So this item is essentially

5379
02:40:40,253 --> 02:40:42,653
the fiscal year 27 continuation

5380
02:40:43,956 --> 02:40:44,289
of Transportation Department's

5381
02:40:44,289 --> 02:40:45,125
efforts.

5382
02:40:45,125 --> 02:40:48,125
We are requesting Council to

5383
02:40:48,728 --> 02:40:49,395
appropriate another $1.8

5384
02:40:49,395 --> 02:40:50,960
million in existing parking

5385
02:40:50,960 --> 02:40:53,960
meter revenue fund balances to

5386
02:40:54,834 --> 02:40:55,467
continue the maintenance of

5387
02:40:55,467 --> 02:40:56,136
safety improvements within

5388
02:40:56,136 --> 02:40:58,536
downtown Uptown Mid-City and

5389
02:41:00,640 --> 02:41:00,940
Pacific Beach parking meter

5390
02:41:00,940 --> 02:41:01,674
zones.

5391
02:41:01,674 --> 02:41:02,375
There are available parking

5392
02:41:02,375 --> 02:41:05,375
meters on balances within each

5393
02:41:06,780 --> 02:41:06,512
community as shown on the far

5394
02:41:06,512 --> 02:41:07,346
right column.

5395
02:41:07,346 --> 02:41:10,946
That would be the fund balance

5396
02:41:11,985 --> 02:41:12,519
remaining after the $1.8

5397
02:41:12,519 --> 02:41:13,153
million allocation.

5398
02:41:13,153 --> 02:41:13,686
Approval of this item will

5399
02:41:13,686 --> 02:41:14,320
allow us to continue

5400
02:41:14,320 --> 02:41:16,320
reinvesting parking meter

5401
02:41:17,490 --> 02:41:18,580
revenues into transportation

5402
02:41:18,580 --> 02:41:18,691
maintenance and safety

5403
02:41:18,691 --> 02:41:19,391
improvements that directly

5404
02:41:19,391 --> 02:41:21,791
benefit the communities where

5405
02:41:24,229 --> 02:41:25,640
those revenues are generated.

5406
02:41:25,640 --> 02:41:25,632
And with that we're happy to

5407
02:41:25,632 --> 02:41:27,632
answer any questions.

5408
02:41:30,690 --> 02:41:30,837
All right.

5409
02:41:30,837 --> 02:41:31,339
Thank you for the work and

5410
02:41:31,339 --> 02:41:31,971
the presentation.

5411
02:41:31,971 --> 02:41:34,371
Clerk Please proceed with

5412
02:41:35,908 --> 02:41:36,776
public comment.

5413
02:41:36,776 --> 02:41:40,376
>> Out if you can please come

5414
02:41:46,753 --> 02:41:47,520
forward to the microphone.

5415
02:41:47,520 --> 02:41:49,920
>> Allocation of parking meters

5416
02:41:52,592 --> 02:41:54,992
zone revenue for transportation

5417
02:41:58,531 --> 02:41:59,232
infrastructure improvements.

5418
02:41:59,232 --> 02:41:59,933
This is put back into

5419
02:41:59,933 --> 02:42:02,333
the respective communities and

5420
02:42:04,738 --> 02:42:05,380
that's a wonderful, wonderful

5421
02:42:05,380 --> 02:42:05,806
thing.

5422
02:42:05,806 --> 02:42:10,600
So thank you so much for that.

5423
02:42:10,810 --> 02:42:15,100
I have a question and a concern

5424
02:42:16,850 --> 02:42:20,450
that relates to this Has our

5425
02:42:22,689 --> 02:42:23,389
parking fee revenues been or

5426
02:42:23,389 --> 02:42:26,989
will be impacted by errors and

5427
02:42:28,562 --> 02:42:28,962
citations that were sent to

5428
02:42:28,962 --> 02:42:29,695
the public?

5429
02:42:29,695 --> 02:42:32,695
Has litigation has a litigation

5430
02:42:34,534 --> 02:42:35,350
ruling been done against

5431
02:42:35,350 --> 02:42:35,902
the city on that?

5432
02:42:35,902 --> 02:42:39,502
Is there a possible appeal in

5433
02:42:39,940 --> 02:42:40,607
the works?

5434
02:42:40,607 --> 02:42:41,341
I read something in

5435
02:42:41,341 --> 02:42:41,642
the Union-Tribune just recently

5436
02:42:41,642 --> 02:42:43,642
and I.

5437
02:42:47,130 --> 02:42:47,714
I stepped back because I

5438
02:42:47,714 --> 02:42:48,382
thought oh no not another $10

5439
02:42:48,382 --> 02:42:48,816
million hit or something we

5440
02:42:48,816 --> 02:42:50,816
didn't expect.

5441
02:42:53,520 --> 02:42:54,254
But it was in the Union-Tribune

5442
02:42:54,254 --> 02:42:54,688
I think like a week this week

5443
02:42:54,688 --> 02:42:56,688
or last week.

5444
02:42:59,560 --> 02:42:59,926
So heads up on that public and

5445
02:42:59,926 --> 02:43:01,926
everybody.

5446
02:43:04,865 --> 02:43:05,566
So dear transportation please

5447
02:43:05,566 --> 02:43:08,566
protect our revenues from cuts

5448
02:43:11,405 --> 02:43:12,139
that we can control.

5449
02:43:12,139 --> 02:43:15,739
It's we've got to do that.

5450
02:43:18,278 --> 02:43:19,120
Okay.

5451
02:43:19,120 --> 02:43:19,379
Thank you so much for

5452
02:43:19,379 --> 02:43:20,470
listening.

5453
02:43:20,470 --> 02:43:20,414
A great morning for you this

5454
02:43:20,414 --> 02:43:22,414
afternoon.

5455
02:43:23,984 --> 02:43:24,751
Well, thank you.

5456
02:43:24,751 --> 02:43:25,351
>> That does it for public

5457
02:43:25,351 --> 02:43:25,953
comment hearing council

5458
02:43:25,953 --> 02:43:26,553
chambers going and then

5459
02:43:26,553 --> 02:43:27,221
participating remotely.

5460
02:43:27,221 --> 02:43:30,157
We just have one speaker in

5461
02:43:30,157 --> 02:43:30,590
the cupola Beekman if you can

5462
02:43:30,590 --> 02:43:31,158
please unmute.

5463
02:43:31,158 --> 02:43:33,558
>> All right big man.

5464
02:43:35,996 --> 02:43:36,764
Thank you for this item.

5465
02:43:36,764 --> 02:43:37,970
Good luck on addressing our sun

5466
02:43:37,970 --> 02:43:37,931
issues.

5467
02:43:37,931 --> 02:43:40,968
I felt something was a little

5468
02:43:40,968 --> 02:43:41,568
awkward in addressing the sun

5469
02:43:41,568 --> 02:43:42,236
parking issues to reduce

5470
02:43:42,236 --> 02:43:45,836
the parking hours as much as

5471
02:43:48,800 --> 02:43:48,842
possible.

5472
02:43:48,842 --> 02:43:49,176
>> Good luck in that kind of

5473
02:43:49,176 --> 02:43:49,810
effort.

5474
02:43:49,810 --> 02:43:50,477
Thank you for your effort.

5475
02:43:50,477 --> 02:43:54,770
I reviewed how you worked on

5476
02:43:54,648 --> 02:43:55,349
the proposed parking issue and

5477
02:43:55,349 --> 02:43:55,649
you did try to reduce the fees

5478
02:43:55,649 --> 02:43:56,183
a lot.

5479
02:43:56,183 --> 02:43:58,583
Thank you for that.

5480
02:44:01,522 --> 02:44:02,156
I think you left the non

5481
02:44:02,156 --> 02:44:04,556
residential for the $16 a

5482
02:44:05,993 --> 02:44:06,760
little high barrier to come

5483
02:44:06,760 --> 02:44:07,461
down to 12 I think because I

5484
02:44:07,461 --> 02:44:07,995
can work on such things in

5485
02:44:07,995 --> 02:44:09,995
the future overall.

5486
02:44:11,231 --> 02:44:11,999
Good work.

5487
02:44:11,999 --> 02:44:12,333
>> We're trying to adjust our

5488
02:44:12,333 --> 02:44:12,967
parking.

5489
02:44:12,967 --> 02:44:16,567
I wanted to quickly note I

5490
02:44:16,669 --> 02:44:17,371
heard this anecdotal story.

5491
02:44:17,371 --> 02:44:20,371
When local governments try to

5492
02:44:22,709 --> 02:44:23,477
over work on their parking

5493
02:44:23,477 --> 02:44:24,145
issues they have a tendency to

5494
02:44:24,145 --> 02:44:24,779
become more conservative in

5495
02:44:24,779 --> 02:44:27,179
their overall thinking and

5496
02:44:29,283 --> 02:44:30,500
actions.

5497
02:44:30,500 --> 02:44:30,684
It's a good fair warning for

5498
02:44:30,684 --> 02:44:33,840
ourselves how we proceed.

5499
02:44:35,890 --> 02:44:35,789
You know, to be wary of that.

5500
02:44:35,789 --> 02:44:36,557
We've had a lot of parking

5501
02:44:36,557 --> 02:44:40,757
worries and had to deal with a

5502
02:44:41,662 --> 02:44:42,396
lot of things and I notice that

5503
02:44:42,396 --> 02:44:43,640
we ended up growing a bit more

5504
02:44:43,640 --> 02:44:43,698
conservative in our thinking

5505
02:44:43,698 --> 02:44:47,298
from that the way we were

5506
02:44:47,935 --> 02:44:48,703
acting and working.

5507
02:44:48,703 --> 02:44:49,437
That was a few months ago.

5508
02:44:49,437 --> 02:44:49,703
I hope we're coming out of that

5509
02:44:49,703 --> 02:44:50,571
now.

5510
02:44:50,571 --> 02:44:54,171
You've tried to make some good

5511
02:44:54,308 --> 02:44:55,900
choices are flexible choices

5512
02:44:55,900 --> 02:44:55,709
with parking and thank you for

5513
02:44:55,709 --> 02:44:56,344
that because look how we work

5514
02:44:56,344 --> 02:44:58,744
on this item continuously.

5515
02:44:59,313 --> 02:44:59,814
Thank you.

5516
02:44:59,814 --> 02:45:00,481
>> Thank you.

5517
02:45:00,481 --> 02:45:03,481
Our next speaker is Hector.

5518
02:45:05,453 --> 02:45:06,530
If you can please unmute I

5519
02:45:06,530 --> 02:45:06,754
would like to thank

5520
02:45:06,754 --> 02:45:07,387
the Transportation Department

5521
02:45:07,387 --> 02:45:10,387
for paving the roads from

5522
02:45:11,726 --> 02:45:12,293
Mission Valley all the way up

5523
02:45:12,293 --> 02:45:13,260
to the Home Depot now.

5524
02:45:13,260 --> 02:45:13,694
Over the last few years they've

5525
02:45:13,694 --> 02:45:17,165
done a little bit road Each

5526
02:45:17,165 --> 02:45:17,698
time they've just done the last

5527
02:45:17,698 --> 02:45:18,431
one by my house.

5528
02:45:18,431 --> 02:45:22,310
So it's a total luxury drive

5529
02:45:24,639 --> 02:45:25,272
and I'm freshly paved roads

5530
02:45:25,272 --> 02:45:25,906
through the Home Depot in

5531
02:45:25,906 --> 02:45:28,306
Claremont and now they're

5532
02:45:28,575 --> 02:45:29,210
working at the Claremont two

5533
02:45:29,210 --> 02:45:29,811
Torrey Pines So they'll be

5534
02:45:29,811 --> 02:45:30,144
the next things going on

5535
02:45:30,144 --> 02:45:32,144
anyway.

5536
02:45:34,482 --> 02:45:35,183
Allocate the money.

5537
02:45:35,183 --> 02:45:36,160
I don't know man.

5538
02:45:36,160 --> 02:45:39,160
I think should allocated to

5539
02:45:40,388 --> 02:45:41,122
the SlutWalk get that thing

5540
02:45:41,122 --> 02:45:45,322
going to get the guys going out

5541
02:45:45,592 --> 02:45:46,227
there to raise money for

5542
02:45:46,227 --> 02:45:46,961
the sewer treatment plant

5543
02:45:46,961 --> 02:45:49,961
the water treatment plant stuff

5544
02:45:52,800 --> 02:45:53,434
and no more studying and things

5545
02:45:53,434 --> 02:45:57,340
on how to do the money.

5546
02:45:58,106 --> 02:45:58,940
No more studies for anything

5547
02:45:58,940 --> 02:45:59,407
that would really save the city

5548
02:45:59,407 --> 02:46:01,807
a lot of money.

5549
02:46:04,446 --> 02:46:05,130
Sorry No more money for looking

5550
02:46:05,130 --> 02:46:05,713
at the road condition.

5551
02:46:05,713 --> 02:46:06,214
Everybody knows the roads that

5552
02:46:06,214 --> 02:46:08,614
need to be paved.

5553
02:46:10,251 --> 02:46:10,986
There's no use in wasting money

5554
02:46:10,986 --> 02:46:14,586
on allocating any kind of money

5555
02:46:16,891 --> 02:46:17,258
toward any kind of studies or

5556
02:46:17,258 --> 02:46:17,959
anything.

5557
02:46:17,959 --> 02:46:20,595
And you know even the genders.

5558
02:46:20,595 --> 02:46:21,262
Well now I realize there's

5559
02:46:21,262 --> 02:46:21,930
three genders, there's male

5560
02:46:21,930 --> 02:46:24,330
there's females and mentally

5561
02:46:27,268 --> 02:46:27,902
ill.

5562
02:46:27,902 --> 02:46:28,537
That's the third gender.

5563
02:46:28,537 --> 02:46:29,300
I had a breakthrough in

5564
02:46:29,300 --> 02:46:31,300
the gender game.

5565
02:46:34,209 --> 02:46:34,509
Instead of 15 now there's only

5566
02:46:34,509 --> 02:46:34,943
three.

5567
02:46:34,943 --> 02:46:36,943
Thanks a lot.

5568
02:46:39,546 --> 02:46:39,981
That is a good public comment

5569
02:46:39,981 --> 02:46:40,414
on this item.

5570
02:46:40,414 --> 02:46:41,116
>> All right.

5571
02:46:41,116 --> 02:46:41,783
Thank you, city Clerk And with

5572
02:46:41,783 --> 02:46:45,120
that will go back to council

5573
02:46:45,120 --> 02:46:45,653
for questions, comments

5574
02:46:45,653 --> 02:46:46,387
Entertain a motion.

5575
02:46:46,387 --> 02:46:47,220
We'll start with council member

5576
02:46:47,220 --> 02:46:49,422
Whitman Thank you Council

5577
02:46:51,250 --> 02:46:51,726
PRESIDENT This program which

5578
02:46:51,726 --> 02:46:52,393
has been enacted really gives

5579
02:46:52,393 --> 02:46:55,393
the city the opportunity to

5580
02:46:57,231 --> 02:46:57,999
manage the parking revenues

5581
02:46:57,999 --> 02:46:58,633
directly for a couple of years

5582
02:46:58,633 --> 02:46:59,201
really the Transportation

5583
02:46:59,201 --> 02:47:01,201
Department to deliver

5584
02:47:04,139 --> 02:47:04,806
the improvements quickly and

5585
02:47:04,806 --> 02:47:05,373
reflect what the communities

5586
02:47:05,373 --> 02:47:05,974
are looking for there.

5587
02:47:05,974 --> 02:47:06,474
It's allowed us to take

5588
02:47:06,474 --> 02:47:08,474
immediate action.

5589
02:47:10,345 --> 02:47:11,460
It's pressing neighborhood

5590
02:47:11,460 --> 02:47:13,446
needs like fixing streetlights

5591
02:47:15,283 --> 02:47:16,170
it to downtown north Park

5592
02:47:16,170 --> 02:47:18,417
Crosswalks have been repainted.

5593
02:47:22,858 --> 02:47:23,558
It's really helped to improve

5594
02:47:23,558 --> 02:47:24,159
public safety and other areas.

5595
02:47:24,159 --> 02:47:24,493
We've been seeing those

5596
02:47:24,493 --> 02:47:26,493
results.

5597
02:47:26,862 --> 02:47:27,562
There have been 185 traffic

5598
02:47:27,562 --> 02:47:29,562
safety improvements including

5599
02:47:32,467 --> 02:47:33,101
two crosswalks and stop signs

5600
02:47:33,101 --> 02:47:35,501
striping read capacity to

5601
02:47:37,239 --> 02:47:37,839
comply with the 80 for 30 day

5602
02:47:37,839 --> 02:47:39,839
lighting requirements In

5603
02:47:43,111 --> 02:47:43,779
District three we've seen 17

5604
02:47:43,779 --> 02:47:45,779
crosswalks downtown, 14 with

5605
02:47:48,250 --> 02:47:48,817
cities located uptown.

5606
02:47:48,817 --> 02:47:50,817
Everybody has walked.

5607
02:47:53,689 --> 02:47:54,489
I'd be street up the way here

5608
02:47:54,489 --> 02:47:55,157
by that taco stand will notice

5609
02:47:55,157 --> 02:47:55,857
that that sidewalk has been

5610
02:47:55,857 --> 02:47:58,857
repaired which was a terrible

5611
02:48:00,950 --> 02:48:00,762
trip hazard for quite some time

5612
02:48:00,762 --> 02:48:04,362
but it has been fixed with

5613
02:48:05,667 --> 02:48:06,267
the use of this program

5614
02:48:06,267 --> 02:48:06,835
the funds that have been

5615
02:48:06,835 --> 02:48:07,536
allocated directly to

5616
02:48:07,536 --> 02:48:09,536
the Transportation Department

5617
02:48:12,730 --> 02:48:12,708
to do those things And I really

5618
02:48:12,708 --> 02:48:13,242
want to recognize that

5619
02:48:13,242 --> 02:48:13,942
the communication by

5620
02:48:13,942 --> 02:48:15,942
the Transportation Department,

5621
02:48:17,712 --> 02:48:18,380
the monthly detail reports that

5622
02:48:18,380 --> 02:48:19,114
have been sent to the office

5623
02:48:19,114 --> 02:48:22,114
into the parking districts have

5624
02:48:23,886 --> 02:48:24,586
really outlined the great

5625
02:48:24,586 --> 02:48:25,453
amount of work that has been

5626
02:48:25,453 --> 02:48:29,530
done as a result of this

5627
02:48:29,691 --> 02:48:30,359
program and just really

5628
02:48:30,359 --> 02:48:32,359
appreciate the communication

5629
02:48:35,597 --> 02:48:36,297
but also teams that have been

5630
02:48:36,297 --> 02:48:36,999
working overtime to get these

5631
02:48:36,999 --> 02:48:39,399
projects that otherwise quite

5632
02:48:41,203 --> 02:48:41,904
likely would not well they

5633
02:48:41,904 --> 02:48:42,404
would not have been done as

5634
02:48:42,404 --> 02:48:43,138
soon as they are.

5635
02:48:43,138 --> 02:48:43,706
So this is proving to be a real

5636
02:48:43,706 --> 02:48:45,706
benefit certainly for

5637
02:48:47,276 --> 02:48:47,909
the communities that I

5638
02:48:47,909 --> 02:48:48,377
represented to express my

5639
02:48:48,377 --> 02:48:49,780
appreciation to

5640
02:48:49,780 --> 02:48:51,780
the Transportation Department

5641
02:48:54,450 --> 02:48:55,184
and I am happy to make

5642
02:48:55,184 --> 02:48:55,651
the motion to approve the staff

5643
02:48:55,651 --> 02:48:56,180
recommendation.

5644
02:48:56,180 --> 02:48:56,385
All right.

5645
02:48:56,385 --> 02:48:57,190
Thank you.

5646
02:48:57,190 --> 02:48:57,752
So so we have a motion by

5647
02:48:57,752 --> 02:48:59,521
Council member Whitburn to move

5648
02:48:59,521 --> 02:49:00,222
the staff recommendation will

5649
02:49:00,222 --> 02:49:00,956
go to Councilmember de Lovato.

5650
02:49:00,956 --> 02:49:03,356
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

5651
02:49:04,660 --> 02:49:05,940
Thanks for the presentation

5652
02:49:05,940 --> 02:49:05,694
here.

5653
02:49:05,694 --> 02:49:06,950
I'll start by seconding

5654
02:49:06,950 --> 02:49:08,950
the motion.

5655
02:49:10,766 --> 02:49:11,367
I also want to say thank you

5656
02:49:11,367 --> 02:49:11,967
for the way that we are

5657
02:49:11,967 --> 02:49:12,701
tracking and monitoring

5658
02:49:12,701 --> 02:49:16,301
the work that's being done with

5659
02:49:17,710 --> 02:49:17,773
the parking your funds and I

5660
02:49:17,773 --> 02:49:18,440
think the emails that you send

5661
02:49:18,440 --> 02:49:21,440
with those updates are super

5662
02:49:21,643 --> 02:49:22,344
helpful for us and we

5663
02:49:22,344 --> 02:49:23,120
communicate that back out to

5664
02:49:23,120 --> 02:49:26,120
our community So it's super

5665
02:49:27,850 --> 02:49:28,550
helpful for them to know what

5666
02:49:28,550 --> 02:49:29,285
work is actually being done.

5667
02:49:29,285 --> 02:49:29,951
I've had a few conversations

5668
02:49:29,951 --> 02:49:32,351
with constituents who while

5669
02:49:33,189 --> 02:49:33,788
certainly not happy to be

5670
02:49:33,788 --> 02:49:36,188
paying for parking felt

5671
02:49:39,629 --> 02:49:40,228
differently when they knew what

5672
02:49:40,228 --> 02:49:40,597
had been done with those

5673
02:49:40,597 --> 02:49:41,329
resources.

5674
02:49:41,329 --> 02:49:44,929
That being said, we've had kind

5675
02:49:45,735 --> 02:49:46,302
of an ongoing conversation

5676
02:49:46,302 --> 02:49:47,300
between my office and

5677
02:49:47,300 --> 02:49:49,300
transportation department and

5678
02:49:50,372 --> 02:49:53,372
mayor's office about being more

5679
02:49:56,579 --> 02:49:57,312
and more committed to having a

5680
02:49:57,312 --> 02:49:59,712
conversation with the community

5681
02:50:02,585 --> 02:50:02,951
about how these funds are are

5682
02:50:02,951 --> 02:50:03,653
invested.

5683
02:50:03,653 --> 02:50:07,356
And the reason I think this is

5684
02:50:07,356 --> 02:50:08,124
important is because again,

5685
02:50:08,124 --> 02:50:08,824
while no one likes paying for

5686
02:50:08,824 --> 02:50:12,424
parking, there is a I think

5687
02:50:13,996 --> 02:50:14,697
pretty unique opportunity with

5688
02:50:14,697 --> 02:50:15,364
parking meters to really draw

5689
02:50:15,364 --> 02:50:18,364
the line between a dollar

5690
02:50:20,536 --> 02:50:21,237
invested by a community member

5691
02:50:21,237 --> 02:50:21,904
in their city and seeing that

5692
02:50:21,904 --> 02:50:24,904
dollar spent by their city.

5693
02:50:26,408 --> 02:50:27,210
Generally speaking I think

5694
02:50:27,210 --> 02:50:27,910
the city does a pretty poor job

5695
02:50:27,910 --> 02:50:28,578
actually of explaining how it

5696
02:50:28,578 --> 02:50:31,781
is that we are spending tax

5697
02:50:31,781 --> 02:50:32,381
dollars of letting folks know

5698
02:50:32,381 --> 02:50:32,982
how the money that they

5699
02:50:32,982 --> 02:50:35,382
contribute to the city's

5700
02:50:37,587 --> 02:50:38,287
coffers get spit out in by way

5701
02:50:38,287 --> 02:50:41,287
of city services or resources

5702
02:50:43,659 --> 02:50:44,593
or city projects.

5703
02:50:44,593 --> 02:50:48,793
And the line here is so short

5704
02:50:50,990 --> 02:50:50,867
and straight you put a dollar

5705
02:50:50,867 --> 02:50:51,601
into a meter, it gets spent in

5706
02:50:51,601 --> 02:50:54,601
the immediate proximity of that

5707
02:50:55,538 --> 02:50:56,306
of that meter.

5708
02:50:56,306 --> 02:50:57,600
I think there's opportunity

5709
02:50:57,600 --> 02:50:57,740
here to develop more trust and

5710
02:50:57,740 --> 02:51:01,340
more of an understanding of why

5711
02:51:01,544 --> 02:51:02,478
revenue is valuable.

5712
02:51:02,478 --> 02:51:03,146
So as you all know, we had a

5713
02:51:03,146 --> 02:51:05,546
committee workshop at Adams

5714
02:51:07,617 --> 02:51:08,351
Avenue Rec Center on how new

5715
02:51:08,351 --> 02:51:08,718
revenue in normal height should

5716
02:51:08,718 --> 02:51:10,718
be spent.

5717
02:51:12,955 --> 02:51:13,623
I'm not going to pretend like

5718
02:51:13,623 --> 02:51:14,570
that was an entirely fun

5719
02:51:14,570 --> 02:51:16,570
conversation.

5720
02:51:19,129 --> 02:51:19,896
It wasn't And we walked out of

5721
02:51:19,896 --> 02:51:20,630
there with a clear sense of

5722
02:51:20,630 --> 02:51:20,930
what the committee's priorities

5723
02:51:20,930 --> 02:51:21,631
were.

5724
02:51:21,631 --> 02:51:25,680
We've kept that going and with

5725
02:51:25,680 --> 02:51:25,735
an online survey and so where

5726
02:51:25,735 --> 02:51:26,435
I'm going with this is I

5727
02:51:26,435 --> 02:51:29,435
really, really think we should

5728
02:51:30,974 --> 02:51:31,273
be leaning into this even more

5729
02:51:31,273 --> 02:51:32,410
.

5730
02:51:32,410 --> 02:51:32,776
I know that we're putting signs

5731
02:51:32,776 --> 02:51:33,410
up and work is done saying this

5732
02:51:33,410 --> 02:51:36,880
was work was paid for with

5733
02:51:36,880 --> 02:51:37,480
parking It needed dollars but

5734
02:51:37,480 --> 02:51:39,880
making the providing an

5735
02:51:41,985 --> 02:51:42,686
opportunity at the time of

5736
02:51:42,686 --> 02:51:43,386
the transaction for residents

5737
02:51:43,386 --> 02:51:44,870
to provide their input on how

5738
02:51:44,870 --> 02:51:47,870
dollars are spent is something

5739
02:51:48,325 --> 02:51:48,991
that I think again could help

5740
02:51:48,991 --> 02:51:49,725
build trust and help educate

5741
02:51:49,725 --> 02:51:53,325
the public about why revenue is

5742
02:51:54,230 --> 02:51:54,998
important So could I actually

5743
02:51:54,998 --> 02:51:55,699
turn to you on this because I

5744
02:51:55,699 --> 02:51:58,680
know it's a conversation we've

5745
02:51:58,680 --> 02:51:58,835
been having as we we look

5746
02:51:58,835 --> 02:52:01,835
forward into the next fiscal

5747
02:52:05,274 --> 02:52:05,942
year to to what extent should

5748
02:52:05,942 --> 02:52:09,542
those of us who have parking

5749
02:52:10,113 --> 02:52:10,780
meter districts in our

5750
02:52:10,780 --> 02:52:11,480
communities be expecting to

5751
02:52:11,480 --> 02:52:14,480
have a little bit more

5752
02:52:15,986 --> 02:52:16,652
prominent opportunities for

5753
02:52:16,652 --> 02:52:17,353
committee members to express

5754
02:52:17,353 --> 02:52:20,353
their priorities for how this

5755
02:52:22,292 --> 02:52:22,591
this revenue is invested?

5756
02:52:22,591 --> 02:52:23,360
Yeah.

5757
02:52:23,360 --> 02:52:24,600
And thank you for that question

5758
02:52:24,600 --> 02:52:24,761
Councilmember and I've really

5759
02:52:24,761 --> 02:52:26,761
appreciated the collaboration

5760
02:52:28,430 --> 02:52:29,980
with your office to to make

5761
02:52:29,980 --> 02:52:29,699
that effort at the forefront

5762
02:52:29,699 --> 02:52:30,367
and with your community

5763
02:52:30,367 --> 02:52:33,367
engagement team being out in

5764
02:52:35,238 --> 02:52:35,939
the community as our avenues

5765
02:52:35,939 --> 02:52:36,506
rolled out And then also your

5766
02:52:36,506 --> 02:52:38,906
ideas and feedback on

5767
02:52:41,440 --> 02:52:41,812
the a-frame signs the stickers

5768
02:52:41,812 --> 02:52:42,512
,the social media posts that

5769
02:52:42,512 --> 02:52:46,112
stand out getting a little bit

5770
02:52:46,750 --> 02:52:47,384
more priority and level setting

5771
02:52:47,384 --> 02:52:48,118
of expectations I guess on

5772
02:52:48,118 --> 02:52:48,652
the front end is helpful And so

5773
02:52:48,652 --> 02:52:49,286
you absolutely have

5774
02:52:49,286 --> 02:52:52,286
the commitment to be more

5775
02:52:52,956 --> 02:52:53,590
proactive before work is done

5776
02:52:53,590 --> 02:52:54,324
to better understand what

5777
02:52:54,324 --> 02:52:57,324
the priorities of residents who

5778
02:52:58,562 --> 02:52:59,263
live in cpd are, whether that

5779
02:52:59,263 --> 02:52:59,963
is a proactive survey sent by

5780
02:52:59,963 --> 02:53:02,963
your office or office and

5781
02:53:05,135 --> 02:53:05,836
consider whether that's a qr

5782
02:53:05,836 --> 02:53:06,536
code at the kiosk to take that

5783
02:53:06,536 --> 02:53:09,740
survey or other forms as your

5784
02:53:09,740 --> 02:53:10,374
community wraps around town

5785
02:53:10,374 --> 02:53:11,410
council meetings, planning

5786
02:53:11,410 --> 02:53:11,708
groups and things like that.

5787
02:53:11,708 --> 02:53:12,442
And so yes, absolutely that

5788
02:53:12,442 --> 02:53:15,442
commitment is there to continue

5789
02:53:17,814 --> 02:53:18,515
collaborating to make sure that

5790
02:53:18,515 --> 02:53:19,249
folks know the dollars they're

5791
02:53:19,249 --> 02:53:19,917
spending are getting reinvested

5792
02:53:19,917 --> 02:53:20,584
back in their neighborhood.

5793
02:53:20,584 --> 02:53:22,920
I appreciate that but I like

5794
02:53:22,920 --> 02:53:23,553
your quoted that again at

5795
02:53:23,553 --> 02:53:24,288
the point of transaction I

5796
02:53:24,288 --> 02:53:24,988
think actually is a really good

5797
02:53:24,988 --> 02:53:25,289
opportunity that will everyone

5798
02:53:25,289 --> 02:53:25,555
do it?

5799
02:53:25,555 --> 02:53:27,555
No.

5800
02:53:29,293 --> 02:53:30,600
Well some people market yes.

5801
02:53:30,600 --> 02:53:30,561
But there's again two things

5802
02:53:30,561 --> 02:53:31,161
that happen there.

5803
02:53:31,161 --> 02:53:31,829
One the level setting of

5804
02:53:31,829 --> 02:53:34,229
expectations, letting it be

5805
02:53:34,665 --> 02:53:35,366
known what can and can't be

5806
02:53:35,366 --> 02:53:36,100
funded with those dollars and

5807
02:53:36,100 --> 02:53:39,700
to for those who do participate

5808
02:53:40,300 --> 02:53:40,771
in that process they will see

5809
02:53:40,771 --> 02:53:41,472
that work done If we give them

5810
02:53:41,472 --> 02:53:45,720
a transparent list of the work

5811
02:53:46,110 --> 02:53:46,844
that can be completed, we can

5812
02:53:46,844 --> 02:53:50,444
turn that into action And again

5813
02:53:52,249 --> 02:53:52,916
we expect everyone to be

5814
02:53:52,916 --> 02:53:53,183
supportive of parking fees.

5815
02:53:53,183 --> 02:53:53,951
No.

5816
02:53:53,951 --> 02:53:54,284
Do I expect a parade at the end

5817
02:53:54,284 --> 02:53:54,550
of this?

5818
02:53:54,550 --> 02:53:56,550
No.

5819
02:53:57,354 --> 02:53:58,540
But I do think we can be a

5820
02:53:58,540 --> 02:53:58,755
place where community trusts a

5821
02:53:58,755 --> 02:54:02,955
little bit more the city to to

5822
02:54:02,960 --> 02:54:03,661
use its dollars wisely and can

5823
02:54:03,661 --> 02:54:04,228
better understand why revenue

5824
02:54:04,228 --> 02:54:06,628
is essential piece of

5825
02:54:08,399 --> 02:54:08,999
the equation when services and

5826
02:54:08,999 --> 02:54:09,700
capital investments are

5827
02:54:09,700 --> 02:54:12,700
demanded rightfully so by our

5828
02:54:15,706 --> 02:54:16,407
residents.

5829
02:54:16,407 --> 02:54:17,410
Thank you for the time there.

5830
02:54:17,410 --> 02:54:17,575
Council PRESIDENT And that

5831
02:54:17,575 --> 02:54:17,942
concludes my second.

5832
02:54:17,942 --> 02:54:19,942
All right.

5833
02:54:21,746 --> 02:54:22,480
Thank you Councilmember.

5834
02:54:22,480 --> 02:54:23,113
So we have a motion by

5835
02:54:23,113 --> 02:54:23,814
Councilmember Woodburn, a

5836
02:54:23,814 --> 02:54:24,415
second by council member Ella

5837
02:54:24,415 --> 02:54:25,490
Rivera to move the staff

5838
02:54:25,490 --> 02:54:27,449
recommendation will go to

5839
02:54:29,530 --> 02:54:29,787
council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

5840
02:54:29,787 --> 02:54:30,588
Daniels PRESIDENT I just have 1

5841
02:54:30,588 --> 02:54:33,588
or 2 questions with this update

5842
02:54:33,924 --> 02:54:34,591
There was a lot of mention in

5843
02:54:34,591 --> 02:54:35,226
the update that the funding

5844
02:54:35,226 --> 02:54:35,726
that is being utilized to

5845
02:54:35,726 --> 02:54:37,270
accomplish some of

5846
02:54:37,270 --> 02:54:40,627
the additional work is that all

5847
02:54:43,633 --> 02:54:43,968
overtime funding for fiscal

5848
02:54:43,968 --> 02:54:44,802
year 26.

5849
02:54:44,802 --> 02:54:48,402
>> Yes And what we are bringing

5850
02:54:50,174 --> 02:54:50,908
forward for you today is 1.1

5851
02:54:50,908 --> 02:54:51,575
million and overtime funding at

5852
02:54:51,575 --> 02:54:53,575
approximately 700,000 and be

5853
02:54:54,511 --> 02:54:55,212
and should in the future if you

5854
02:54:55,212 --> 02:54:55,847
anticipate this to continue to

5855
02:54:55,847 --> 02:54:58,847
largely require the use of

5856
02:55:00,418 --> 02:55:01,850
overtime in order to deliver

5857
02:55:01,850 --> 02:55:01,719
the work that's specifically

5858
02:55:01,719 --> 02:55:04,119
for the parking districts.

5859
02:55:06,424 --> 02:55:07,910
Yes.

5860
02:55:07,910 --> 02:55:07,799
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem I

5861
02:55:07,799 --> 02:55:08,526
guess I would ask how is that

5862
02:55:08,526 --> 02:55:11,526
decision made as to what's

5863
02:55:11,829 --> 02:55:14,829
actually coming out of assuming

5864
02:55:17,568 --> 02:55:18,136
over time costs a lot more than

5865
02:55:18,136 --> 02:55:18,836
the regular work that

5866
02:55:18,836 --> 02:55:19,469
department we're specifically

5867
02:55:19,469 --> 02:55:22,469
expecting over time out of

5868
02:55:23,341 --> 02:55:24,142
these parking districts which

5869
02:55:24,142 --> 02:55:24,809
to me just sort of been drawn

5870
02:55:24,809 --> 02:55:28,409
down faster from them as we

5871
02:55:30,810 --> 02:55:30,447
would with other projects in

5872
02:55:30,447 --> 02:55:31,480
the city.

5873
02:55:31,480 --> 02:55:31,649
Like I'm somebody who's

5874
02:55:31,649 --> 02:55:33,649
actually performance in

5875
02:55:35,820 --> 02:55:36,621
logistics officer.

5876
02:55:36,621 --> 02:55:37,288
So if you look at the summary

5877
02:55:37,288 --> 02:55:37,889
in the budget document that

5878
02:55:37,889 --> 02:55:38,555
will outline the revenue

5879
02:55:38,555 --> 02:55:40,955
associated with each parking

5880
02:55:42,527 --> 02:55:43,160
meter area and that it will

5881
02:55:43,160 --> 02:55:43,861
outline by each department

5882
02:55:43,861 --> 02:55:46,261
the eligible expenditures and

5883
02:55:48,166 --> 02:55:48,933
the cost associated with them.

5884
02:55:48,933 --> 02:55:49,667
So there's plenty of work

5885
02:55:49,667 --> 02:55:50,368
that's going on in regular time

5886
02:55:50,368 --> 02:55:53,368
in these parking meter areas

5887
02:55:54,720 --> 02:55:54,772
and we actually have more

5888
02:55:54,772 --> 02:55:55,440
eligible expenditures than we

5889
02:55:55,440 --> 02:55:55,707
have revenue associated with

5890
02:55:55,707 --> 02:55:57,707
it.

5891
02:55:59,376 --> 02:56:00,111
So what this is doing is trying

5892
02:56:00,111 --> 02:56:00,812
to get extra time out of our

5893
02:56:00,812 --> 02:56:03,812
transportation crews to try to

5894
02:56:05,783 --> 02:56:06,618
mitigate some of the backlogs.

5895
02:56:06,618 --> 02:56:07,318
What we heard from a lot of

5896
02:56:07,318 --> 02:56:08,190
those stakeholders as part of

5897
02:56:08,190 --> 02:56:11,190
our engagement process is that

5898
02:56:11,689 --> 02:56:12,560
they were looking for enhanced

5899
02:56:12,560 --> 02:56:12,724
services.

5900
02:56:12,724 --> 02:56:13,291
So the overtime is what's

5901
02:56:13,291 --> 02:56:13,925
providing that direct

5902
02:56:13,925 --> 02:56:16,325
connection to the enhanced

5903
02:56:18,129 --> 02:56:18,530
level of service.

5904
02:56:18,530 --> 02:56:19,430
Yeah.

5905
02:56:19,430 --> 02:56:20,165
And I only ask as I think it's

5906
02:56:20,165 --> 02:56:20,865
fair to be transparent about it

5907
02:56:20,865 --> 02:56:23,865
which is I've always struggled

5908
02:56:24,100 --> 02:56:24,636
with this item recognizing that

5909
02:56:24,636 --> 02:56:25,336
we're taking dollars that

5910
02:56:25,336 --> 02:56:28,336
communities felt like they had

5911
02:56:30,542 --> 02:56:31,276
a say in and that they that

5912
02:56:31,276 --> 02:56:31,910
were intended for projects that

5913
02:56:31,910 --> 02:56:32,477
were over and beyond what

5914
02:56:32,477 --> 02:56:32,944
the city is typically

5915
02:56:32,944 --> 02:56:34,944
responsible for.

5916
02:56:36,514 --> 02:56:37,215
And so as much as I cherish you

5917
02:56:37,215 --> 02:56:37,849
know, I think everyone should

5918
02:56:37,849 --> 02:56:38,516
celebrate I just feel like

5919
02:56:38,516 --> 02:56:40,916
the sidewalks and crosswalks

5920
02:56:41,252 --> 02:56:42,200
are being done And I also can

5921
02:56:42,200 --> 02:56:42,620
look at that sometimes and feel

5922
02:56:42,620 --> 02:56:43,254
like the system that was

5923
02:56:43,254 --> 02:56:45,654
designed with the council

5924
02:56:46,725 --> 02:56:47,526
policy previously that's that

5925
02:56:47,526 --> 02:56:48,226
part of the work should have

5926
02:56:48,226 --> 02:56:48,760
always come from the 85% that

5927
02:56:48,760 --> 02:56:49,461
came from the city.

5928
02:56:49,461 --> 02:56:52,461
But now we're celebrating that

5929
02:56:53,310 --> 02:56:53,765
additional work being done by

5930
02:56:53,765 --> 02:56:54,499
the city from the remaining 15%

5931
02:56:54,499 --> 02:56:57,499
which is largely funded through

5932
02:56:58,503 --> 02:56:59,471
overtime meaning it cost even

5933
02:56:59,471 --> 02:57:00,138
more to do that work And I know

5934
02:57:00,138 --> 02:57:00,872
for some of them they would

5935
02:57:00,872 --> 02:57:04,472
probably go back and pick other

5936
02:57:04,943 --> 02:57:05,644
items that they identified

5937
02:57:05,644 --> 02:57:06,440
within their communities that

5938
02:57:06,440 --> 02:57:06,578
were needed.

5939
02:57:06,578 --> 02:57:07,212
That's where I think

5940
02:57:07,212 --> 02:57:09,612
the community feedback is

5941
02:57:10,448 --> 02:57:11,216
important in the future because

5942
02:57:11,216 --> 02:57:11,917
I'm sure when some of the park

5943
02:57:11,917 --> 02:57:12,550
districts were started didn't

5944
02:57:12,550 --> 02:57:15,550
all intended to spend that

5945
02:57:18,423 --> 02:57:19,240
funding on the work that they

5946
02:57:19,240 --> 02:57:19,658
do the city was already

5947
02:57:19,658 --> 02:57:20,292
responsible for They were

5948
02:57:20,292 --> 02:57:21,260
hoping that it would help

5949
02:57:21,260 --> 02:57:21,660
accomplish things that the city

5950
02:57:21,660 --> 02:57:24,529
does not going to do that

5951
02:57:24,529 --> 02:57:25,297
the community identified.

5952
02:57:25,297 --> 02:57:25,964
And so for example in my

5953
02:57:25,964 --> 02:57:28,964
district if the county makes

5954
02:57:29,100 --> 02:57:29,801
the whole area still being

5955
02:57:29,801 --> 02:57:30,502
looked at as a potential area

5956
02:57:30,502 --> 02:57:31,169
to add parking meters, I think

5957
02:57:31,169 --> 02:57:34,169
that discussion will be very

5958
02:57:34,806 --> 02:57:35,540
difficult without any active

5959
02:57:35,540 --> 02:57:36,174
participation for the committee

5960
02:57:36,174 --> 02:57:38,574
parking district which was

5961
02:57:41,113 --> 02:57:41,747
formed before this policy

5962
02:57:41,747 --> 02:57:42,147
basically eliminated them

5963
02:57:42,147 --> 02:57:42,881
temporarily.

5964
02:57:42,881 --> 02:57:46,651
So I just I know that because I

5965
02:57:46,651 --> 02:57:47,352
think it'll be a challenge

5966
02:57:47,352 --> 02:57:48,200
always as we're looking to

5967
02:57:48,200 --> 02:57:48,753
the future I understand that

5968
02:57:48,753 --> 02:57:52,353
the selling point is that we're

5969
02:57:53,425 --> 02:57:54,920
able to accomplish more but I

5970
02:57:54,920 --> 02:57:54,793
think from a communications

5971
02:57:54,793 --> 02:57:55,460
standpoint we have to we have

5972
02:57:55,460 --> 02:57:58,663
to be able to show them why

5973
02:57:58,663 --> 02:57:59,364
that's doing something more and

5974
02:57:59,364 --> 02:58:00,310
how their feedback is still

5975
02:58:00,310 --> 02:58:00,765
valued and not that this was

5976
02:58:00,765 --> 02:58:03,765
just a way to supplant

5977
02:58:05,203 --> 02:58:05,737
the city's lack of funding for

5978
02:58:05,737 --> 02:58:06,471
our overtime needs.

5979
02:58:06,471 --> 02:58:10,671
So with that said I did not

5980
02:58:11,376 --> 02:58:11,876
support this item last and this

5981
02:58:11,876 --> 02:58:12,611
came a year ago.

5982
02:58:12,611 --> 02:58:13,278
I still don't support this item

5983
02:58:13,278 --> 02:58:16,615
for the same reasons and so

5984
02:58:16,615 --> 02:58:17,149
I'll be voting on the motion.

5985
02:58:17,149 --> 02:58:17,515
All right.

5986
02:58:17,515 --> 02:58:18,217
Thank you.

5987
02:58:18,217 --> 02:58:18,951
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem not

5988
02:58:18,951 --> 02:58:22,221
see anybody else in the lights.

5989
02:58:22,221 --> 02:58:22,788
Thank you for the work in

5990
02:58:22,788 --> 02:58:23,455
bringing this forward.

5991
02:58:23,455 --> 02:58:26,455
Just a couple of questions.

5992
02:58:28,392 --> 02:58:29,160
I've heard from my constituents

5993
02:58:29,160 --> 02:58:29,862
when we've done some sidewalk

5994
02:58:29,862 --> 02:58:30,529
repairs that was caused by a

5995
02:58:30,529 --> 02:58:33,529
street tree that the street

5996
02:58:34,600 --> 02:58:35,100
tree was not replaced, that not

5997
02:58:35,100 --> 02:58:37,100
an eligible fund.

5998
02:58:40,639 --> 02:58:41,240
Our use of these funds I'm not

5999
02:58:41,240 --> 02:58:41,607
going to ask you about

6000
02:58:41,607 --> 02:58:42,174
specifics.

6001
02:58:42,174 --> 02:58:42,541
I don't actually know

6002
02:58:42,541 --> 02:58:44,541
specifics.

6003
02:58:45,911 --> 02:58:46,578
But are we allowed to replace

6004
02:58:46,578 --> 02:58:47,278
the tree that was the wrong

6005
02:58:47,278 --> 02:58:50,278
tree and cause three problems

6006
02:58:52,918 --> 02:58:53,199
and why don't you get back to

6007
02:58:53,199 --> 02:58:53,852
me?

6008
02:58:53,852 --> 02:58:54,552
It's not important for this

6009
02:58:54,552 --> 02:58:55,153
vote but I'd like to know and

6010
02:58:55,153 --> 02:58:57,553
be able to answer

6011
02:58:57,823 --> 02:58:58,490
the constituents.

6012
02:58:58,490 --> 02:58:59,190
The other part that I was

6013
02:58:59,190 --> 02:59:02,790
curious about was when we took

6014
02:59:04,730 --> 02:59:05,431
action in OCTOBER which was

6015
02:59:05,431 --> 02:59:08,431
the first action we allocated

6016
02:59:10,502 --> 02:59:11,203
the 1.89 and this time we're

6017
02:59:11,203 --> 02:59:11,870
doing exactly the same amount.

6018
02:59:11,870 --> 02:59:12,538
There's nothing magic about

6019
02:59:12,538 --> 02:59:15,538
that dollar amount that you

6020
02:59:15,875 --> 02:59:16,542
chose to do that or that is

6021
02:59:16,542 --> 02:59:17,142
based on the Transportation

6022
02:59:17,142 --> 02:59:17,676
Department's capacity to

6023
02:59:17,676 --> 02:59:20,760
deliver on the work.

6024
02:59:22,581 --> 02:59:23,382
>> Okay.

6025
02:59:23,382 --> 02:59:24,830
So if we said the more money

6026
02:59:24,830 --> 02:59:24,783
because the fund balances are

6027
02:59:24,783 --> 02:59:28,383
bigger you would say no thank

6028
02:59:29,255 --> 02:59:29,922
you because we just don't have

6029
02:59:29,922 --> 02:59:30,723
the capacity to really close

6030
02:59:30,723 --> 02:59:33,459
Like okay that makes a lot of

6031
02:59:33,459 --> 02:59:34,226
impact.

6032
02:59:34,226 --> 02:59:34,960
And to answer your first

6033
02:59:34,960 --> 02:59:35,628
question, the parking funds are

6034
02:59:35,628 --> 02:59:38,931
two for project that I have

6035
02:59:38,931 --> 02:59:39,665
mobility and parking in

6036
02:59:39,665 --> 02:59:40,499
the district So you have to say

6037
02:59:40,499 --> 02:59:44,699
that the trees would not be an

6038
02:59:44,737 --> 02:59:45,137
eligible expense.

6039
02:59:45,137 --> 02:59:45,537
>> Okay.

6040
02:59:45,537 --> 02:59:46,372
All right.

6041
02:59:46,372 --> 02:59:49,972
Sad to hear but I understand

6042
02:59:51,177 --> 02:59:51,777
the nuance of there and thank

6043
02:59:51,777 --> 02:59:52,478
you for taking the time.

6044
02:59:52,478 --> 02:59:53,212
I know I have some questions

6045
02:59:53,212 --> 02:59:57,412
When I got the briefing on this

6046
02:59:57,449 --> 02:59:58,117
and you took the time to

6047
02:59:58,117 --> 02:59:58,817
explain why there was such a

6048
02:59:58,817 --> 02:59:59,585

6162
03:08:44,539 --> 03:08:47,109
lot of passion and emotion on

budget.

6166
03:08:51,813 --> 03:08:52,481
So I'm going to read the script

6167
03:08:52,481 --> 03:08:56,810
When we have these kinds of

6168
03:08:56,552 --> 03:08:57,186
sessions I want to remind

6169
03:08:57,186 --> 03:08:57,853
everyone about the city's

6170
03:08:57,853 --> 03:08:58,554
practices and procedures for

6171
03:08:58,554 --> 03:09:01,357
public comment at city council

6172
03:09:01,357 --> 03:09:01,990
meetings.

6173
03:09:01,990 --> 03:09:02,657
We certainly welcome your

6174
03:09:02,657 --> 03:09:03,250
public participation at our

6175
03:09:03,250 --> 03:09:05,250
hearings.

6176
03:09:06,728 --> 03:09:07,362
Speakers MAY address

6177
03:09:07,362 --> 03:09:08,630
the Council during public

6178
03:09:08,630 --> 03:09:10,866
comment and also in connection

6179
03:09:10,866 --> 03:09:11,333
with specific items of business

6180
03:09:11,333 --> 03:09:12,340
on the agenda.

6181
03:09:12,340 --> 03:09:12,701
However, the city must make

6182
03:09:12,701 --> 03:09:15,637
sure that no one person or

6183
03:09:15,637 --> 03:09:16,337
group of people disrupt

6184
03:09:16,337 --> 03:09:17,380
the meeting in a way that

6185
03:09:17,380 --> 03:09:17,672
prohibits other speakers from

6186
03:09:17,672 --> 03:09:20,720
expressing their ideas and

6187
03:09:21,410 --> 03:09:22,770
opinions excessive yelling and

6188
03:09:22,770 --> 03:09:22,678
screaming or speaking beyond

6189
03:09:22,678 --> 03:09:25,981
ones a lot of times are

6190
03:09:25,981 --> 03:09:26,549
examples of that kind of

6191
03:09:26,549 --> 03:09:26,949
behavior that disrupts

6192
03:09:26,949 --> 03:09:27,549
the meeting.

6193
03:09:27,549 --> 03:09:28,183
It is not the content is

6194
03:09:28,183 --> 03:09:30,583
the disruption that we're

6195
03:09:31,190 --> 03:09:31,886
focusing on.

6196
03:09:31,886 --> 03:09:32,521
So to make sure that everyone

6197
03:09:32,521 --> 03:09:35,424
here has an opportunity to

6198
03:09:35,424 --> 03:09:36,250
address the council, I will

6199
03:09:36,250 --> 03:09:36,692
alert an individual or

6200
03:09:36,692 --> 03:09:37,359
individuals if I think their

6201
03:09:37,359 --> 03:09:39,359
conduct becomes disruptive.

6202
03:09:41,130 --> 03:09:41,863
The disruption continues.

6203
03:09:41,863 --> 03:09:42,531
I'll roll the individual out of

6204
03:09:42,531 --> 03:09:43,232
order and if the disruption

6205
03:09:43,232 --> 03:09:45,632
continues further will declare

6206
03:09:45,868 --> 03:09:46,168
a recess so that we can restore

6207
03:09:46,168 --> 03:09:47,360
order.

6208
03:09:47,360 --> 03:09:50,172
>> At this point I will direct

6209
03:09:50,172 --> 03:09:50,873
the individual leave the room

6210
03:09:50,873 --> 03:09:51,374
and if the individual refuses

6211
03:09:51,374 --> 03:09:51,940
police will escort

6212
03:09:51,940 --> 03:09:52,374
the individual out of

6213
03:09:52,374 --> 03:09:54,374
the building.

6214
03:09:55,511 --> 03:09:56,212

Everybody who was speaking and

6250
03:10:42,125 --> 03:10:42,492
how much time the team needs.

6251
03:10:42,492 --> 03:10:42,858
>> Right.

6252
03:10:42,858 --> 03:10:44,858
Thank you.

6253
03:10:45,894 --> 03:10:46,762
Council PRESIDENT.

6254
03:10:46,762 --> 03:10:47,363
We had roughly 30 minutes to go

6255
03:10:47,363 --> 03:10:47,730
through representation.

6256
03:10:47,730 --> 03:10:48,970
All right.

6257
03:10:48,970 --> 03:10:50,970
All right.

6258
03:10:50,632 --> 03:10:51,267
So we are here this afternoon

6259
03:10:51,267 --> 03:10:51,867
at the conclusion of this

6260
03:10:51,867 --> 03:10:54,267
year's budget process to

6261
03:10:55,700 --> 03:10:55,771
discuss our office's final

6262
03:10:55,771 --> 03:10:58,771
budget report which is before

6263
03:11:01,100 --> 03:11:01,710
you today I am joined for this

6264
03:11:01,710 --> 03:11:02,378
presentation by Emily, Jillian

6265
03:11:02,378 --> 03:11:05,378
and Alina and Jordan Moore.

6266
03:11:05,414 --> 03:11:06,810
Although our entire team is

6267
03:11:06,810 --> 03:11:06,683
also here for questions and

6268
03:11:06,683 --> 03:11:09,830
follow up discussion our

6269
03:11:09,519 --> 03:11:10,186
presentation this afternoon

6270
03:11:10,186 --> 03:11:10,887
will largely cover the items

6271
03:11:10,887 --> 03:11:13,887
that we discussed at Friday's

6272
03:11:14,223 --> 03:11:15,224
final brc hearing.

6273
03:11:15,224 --> 03:11:15,925
I will kick us off with a brief

6274
03:11:15,925 --> 03:11:16,592
overview and then my team will

6275
03:11:16,592 --> 03:11:19,596
walk you through the bulk of

6276
03:11:19,596 --> 03:11:20,329
our presentation before I wrap

6277
03:11:20,329 --> 03:11:20,863
up with recommended actions and

6278
03:11:20,863 --> 03:11:22,863
concluding thoughts.

6279
03:11:24,199 --> 03:11:24,733
I'll start with an overview of

6280
03:11:24,733 --> 03:11:25,335
the last two months.

6281
03:11:25,335 --> 03:11:27,735
The proposed budget was

6282
03:11:28,103 --> 03:11:28,804
released on APRIL 15th.

6283
03:11:28,804 --> 03:11:29,538
That budget included a number

6284
03:11:29,538 --> 03:11:32,538
of significant cuts and those

6285
03:11:32,675 --> 03:11:33,309
reflected the city's ongoing

6286
03:11:33,309 --> 03:11:35,309
structural budget deficit.

6287
03:11:37,680 --> 03:11:38,380
In early MAY this council heard

6288
03:11:38,380 --> 03:11:39,150
hearings over the course of a

6289
03:11:39,150 --> 03:11:39,616
week to walk through that

6290
03:11:39,616 --> 03:11:42,160
budget proposal and then

6291
03:11:43,152 --> 03:11:46,890
the mayor released a revised on

6292
03:11:46,890 --> 03:11:46,756
MAY 13th that MAY revise

6293
03:11:46,756 --> 03:11:47,423
identified $13.5 million in

6294
03:11:47,423 --> 03:11:49,423
additional resources mainly

6295
03:11:51,728 --> 03:11:52,395
from stronger hotel tax revenue

6296
03:11:52,395 --> 03:11:53,129
and transfers to the general

6297
03:11:53,129 --> 03:11:53,763
fund from the golf course fund.

6298
03:11:53,763 --> 03:11:56,165
Then they revised and used

6299
03:11:56,165 --> 03:11:56,733
those resources to fund $13.5

6300
03:11:56,733 --> 03:11:58,733
million in expenditure

6301
03:12:01,471 --> 03:12:02,720
restorations including library

6302
03:12:02,720 --> 03:12:02,738
and rec center hours and

6303
03:12:02,738 --> 03:12:05,738
districts for 89 as well as

6304
03:12:06,142 --> 03:12:06,842
shoreline restrooms and funding

6305
03:12:06,842 --> 03:12:07,710
for youth drop in centers.

6306
03:12:07,710 --> 03:12:11,310
Then on Tuesday, JUNE 2nd my

6307
03:12:11,748 --> 03:12:12,448
office released ibr report 26

6308
03:12:12,448 --> 03:12:14,848
Dash 15 That report identifies

6309
03:12:16,686 --> 03:12:17,320
additional resources beyond

6310
03:12:17,320 --> 03:12:17,988
those that are in the MAY

6311
03:12:17,988 --> 03:12:18,621
revise and we also recommend

6312
03:12:18,621 --> 03:12:20,621
technical adjustments and

6313
03:12:21,590 --> 03:12:22,292
corrections and finally

6314
03:12:22,292 --> 03:12:23,260
incorporate the restoration of

6315
03:12:23,260 --> 03:12:26,595
programs based on our review of

6316
03:12:26,595 --> 03:12:27,197
Councilmember Budget memos that

6317
03:12:27,197 --> 03:12:30,197
we received on MAY 20th.

6318
03:12:31,340 --> 03:12:31,768
The item before you today is

6319
03:12:31,768 --> 03:12:32,436
the proposed budget as modified

6320
03:12:32,436 --> 03:12:36,360
by the MAY revise along with

6321
03:12:36,473 --> 03:12:37,730
the additional modifications

6322
03:12:37,730 --> 03:12:37,541
that are recommended by

6323
03:12:37,541 --> 03:12:39,541
the Ibus office.

6324
03:12:41,444 --> 03:12:42,212
The task of this Council today

6325
03:12:42,212 --> 03:12:43,790
is to adopt a final budget.

6326
03:12:43,790 --> 03:12:46,483
In doing so you can make

6327
03:12:46,483 --> 03:12:47,184
additional modifications but it

6328
03:12:47,184 --> 03:12:47,883
is also essential and legally

6329
03:12:47,883 --> 03:12:50,883
required that the budget that

6330
03:12:51,254 --> 03:12:52,220
is adopted remains balanced.

6331
03:12:52,220 --> 03:12:55,622
Turning to our report itself it

6332
03:12:56,359 --> 03:12:57,940
is worth noting and

6333
03:12:57,940 --> 03:12:57,727
highlighting that we identified

6334
03:12:57,727 --> 03:13:00,127
resources that can support

6335
03:13:01,898 --> 03:13:02,599
the restoration of all items

6336
03:13:02,599 --> 03:13:03,233
that were included in a

6337
03:13:03,233 --> 03:13:03,533
majority of Council member

6338
03:13:03,533 --> 03:13:04,168
memos.

6339
03:13:04,168 --> 03:13:06,568
This includes the partial

6340
03:13:06,636 --> 03:13:07,304
restoration of arts funding as

6341
03:13:07,304 --> 03:13:07,771
well as the Child and Youth

6342
03:13:07,771 --> 03:13:09,771
Success Program.

6343
03:13:11,675 --> 03:13:12,276
The film program manager

6344
03:13:12,276 --> 03:13:12,943
position cpf, the Small

6345
03:13:12,943 --> 03:13:14,943
Business Enhancement Program

6346
03:13:16,613 --> 03:13:17,414
and others.

6347
03:13:17,414 --> 03:13:18,150
At a high level our report

6348
03:13:18,150 --> 03:13:20,415
covers five main areas.

6349
03:13:20,650 --> 03:13:21,284
First, we recommend three

6350
03:13:21,284 --> 03:13:21,986
modifications that can be

6351
03:13:21,986 --> 03:13:24,986
implemented with no net impact

6352
03:13:25,956 --> 03:13:26,757
to the city's general fund.

6353
03:13:26,757 --> 03:13:27,524
These are the restoration of

6354
03:13:27,524 --> 03:13:30,194
arts and cultural funding an

6355
03:13:30,194 --> 03:13:30,827
alternative package for

6356
03:13:30,827 --> 03:13:31,528
homelessness programs and

6357
03:13:31,528 --> 03:13:32,262
the transfer of the Office of

6358
03:13:32,262 --> 03:13:34,662
Labor Standards and Enforcement

6359
03:13:35,832 --> 03:13:36,599
to the City Attorney's Office.

6360
03:13:36,599 --> 03:13:37,300
These were all supported by a

6361
03:13:37,300 --> 03:13:40,300
majority of council members in

6362
03:13:40,503 --> 03:13:41,138
their nanos and my team will

6363
03:13:41,138 --> 03:13:44,138
walk through each of them.

6364
03:13:45,420 --> 03:13:45,776
We then identify and recommend

6365
03:13:45,776 --> 03:13:46,543
an additional $6.6 million in

6366
03:13:46,543 --> 03:13:49,543
general fund resources based on

6367
03:13:50,580 --> 03:13:51,214
updated revenue projections,

6368
03:13:51,214 --> 03:13:51,915
expenditure reductions and

6369
03:13:51,915 --> 03:13:54,315
technical corrections Of this

6370
03:13:55,953 --> 03:13:58,353
amount 4.5 million is ongoing.

6371
03:14:00,457 --> 03:14:01,157
Those identified sources can

6372
03:14:01,157 --> 03:14:01,858
support all majority supported

6373
03:14:01,858 --> 03:14:04,858
expenditures as well as other

6374
03:14:06,960 --> 03:14:06,697
recommended adjustments which

6375
03:14:06,697 --> 03:14:07,300
all together total $2.9

6376
03:14:07,300 --> 03:14:09,300
million.

6377
03:14:09,833 --> 03:14:12,233
That leaves 2.6 million in

6378
03:14:13,804 --> 03:14:14,605
remaining ongoing resources and

6379
03:14:14,605 --> 03:14:15,720
1.1 million in remaining one

6380
03:14:15,720 --> 03:14:17,720
time resources.

6381
03:14:17,908 --> 03:14:18,609
Our office does recommend that

6382
03:14:18,609 --> 03:14:19,309
the one time resources be set

6383
03:14:19,309 --> 03:14:22,309
aside either into reserves or

6384
03:14:22,946 --> 03:14:23,680
held as excess equity to help

6385
03:14:23,680 --> 03:14:24,381
protect against upcoming fiscal

6386
03:14:24,381 --> 03:14:25,490
challenges although ultimately

6387
03:14:25,490 --> 03:14:28,490
that will be this Council's

6388
03:14:28,986 --> 03:14:29,753
decision.

6389
03:14:29,753 --> 03:14:30,454
While the budget that we are

6390
03:14:30,454 --> 03:14:31,188
discussing today is balanced,

6391
03:14:31,188 --> 03:14:33,791
it is also worth noting that it

6392
03:14:33,791 --> 03:14:34,424
is not structurally balanced

6393
03:14:34,424 --> 03:14:35,580
and setting aside one time

6394
03:14:35,580 --> 03:14:37,458
resources today instead of

6395
03:14:38,280 --> 03:14:38,729
spending them can help avoid

6396
03:14:38,729 --> 03:14:41,129
that structural imbalance from

6397
03:14:43,601 --> 03:14:44,235
growing that accounted for

6398
03:14:44,235 --> 03:14:46,635
There are $2.6 million in

6399
03:14:49,206 --> 03:14:49,840
remaining ongoing resources.

6400
03:14:49,840 --> 03:14:50,541
While we have recommended

6401
03:14:50,541 --> 03:14:52,941
funding all expenditures that

6402
03:14:54,780 --> 03:14:54,612
were in the memos of a majority

6403
03:14:54,612 --> 03:14:55,278
of council members.

6404
03:14:55,278 --> 03:14:56,130
There were additional items

6405
03:14:56,130 --> 03:15:00,213
that were not in a majority of

6406
03:15:00,751 --> 03:15:01,318
memos but were in the mouths of

6407
03:15:01,318 --> 03:15:01,919
four council members.

6408
03:15:01,919 --> 03:15:03,919
Our officers identified

6409
03:15:05,323 --> 03:15:06,230
resources to cover that can

6410
03:15:06,230 --> 03:15:06,323
cover some but not all of

6411
03:15:06,323 --> 03:15:07,910
those.

6412
03:15:07,910 --> 03:15:10,910
Chief among those requests was

6413
03:15:10,761 --> 03:15:11,462
additional library and rec

6414
03:15:11,462 --> 03:15:12,960
center restorations along with

6415
03:15:12,960 --> 03:15:14,960
some potential additional

6416
03:15:16,200 --> 03:15:16,968
revenue resources.

6417
03:15:16,968 --> 03:15:17,535
In general we present each of

6418
03:15:17,535 --> 03:15:18,269
those items without a

6419
03:15:18,269 --> 03:15:20,669
recommendation although in some

6420
03:15:21,972 --> 03:15:22,406
we actually recommend against

6421
03:15:22,406 --> 03:15:23,730
pursuing them.

6422
03:15:23,730 --> 03:15:23,541
My team will walk us through

6423
03:15:23,541 --> 03:15:25,541
these as well.

6424
03:15:27,211 --> 03:15:27,845
Finally we discuss additional

6425
03:15:27,845 --> 03:15:29,845
considerations the city's

6426
03:15:31,916 --> 03:15:32,583
structural deficit, the impacts

6427
03:15:32,583 --> 03:15:33,250
of the trash fee and Balboa

6428
03:15:33,250 --> 03:15:35,650
Park paid parking settlement

6429
03:15:36,286 --> 03:15:36,954
that was approved yesterday and

6430
03:15:36,954 --> 03:15:37,521
the city's enormous unfunded

6431
03:15:37,521 --> 03:15:38,222
infrastructure needs.

6432
03:15:38,222 --> 03:15:41,222
Council should consider all of

6433
03:15:42,726 --> 03:15:43,427
these as it engages in its

6434
03:15:43,427 --> 03:15:43,794
final deliberations on the f y

6435
03:15:43,794 --> 03:15:45,794
27 budget.

6436
03:15:48,650 --> 03:15:48,699
With that I will turn this

6437
03:15:48,699 --> 03:15:49,300
presentation over to Amy.

6438
03:15:49,300 --> 03:15:49,633
>> Thank you very much,

6439
03:15:49,633 --> 03:15:51,602
Charles.

6440
03:15:51,602 --> 03:15:52,270
I will first start by

6441
03:15:52,270 --> 03:15:52,936
highlighting the recommended

6442
03:15:52,936 --> 03:15:53,604
modifications to the budget

6443
03:15:53,604 --> 03:15:57,204
that would each have no net

6444
03:15:57,475 --> 03:15:58,275
impact to the general fund.

6445
03:15:58,275 --> 03:16:01,275
First our office proposes a

6446
03:16:01,578 --> 03:16:02,279
restoration of up to $6 million

6447
03:16:02,279 --> 03:16:02,880
for the three arts and culture

6448
03:16:02,880 --> 03:16:05,280
grant programs that were

6449
03:16:06,617 --> 03:16:07,318
eliminated in the proposed

6450
03:16:07,318 --> 03:16:07,885
budget on nine Councilmembers

6451
03:16:07,885 --> 03:16:10,285
supported some type of

6452
03:16:11,356 --> 03:16:12,560
restoration to these grant.

6453
03:16:12,560 --> 03:16:15,560
The proposed budget would pay

6454
03:16:15,326 --> 03:16:16,270
12.1 million of annual debt

6455
03:16:16,270 --> 03:16:16,660
service on the 1998 Convention

6456
03:16:16,660 --> 03:16:17,261
Center expansion bond from

6457
03:16:17,261 --> 03:16:19,261
the special promotional

6458
03:16:21,365 --> 03:16:22,660
programs budget which is also

6459
03:16:22,660 --> 03:16:25,666
where Arts and Culture Fund is

6460
03:16:25,836 --> 03:16:26,570
traditionally coming from Our

6461
03:16:26,570 --> 03:16:27,271
office recommends instead using

6462
03:16:27,271 --> 03:16:27,972
up to $6 million of Measure c

6463
03:16:27,972 --> 03:16:30,972
funds to partially pay for

6464
03:16:31,776 --> 03:16:32,143
annual debt service in fiscal

6465
03:16:32,143 --> 03:16:34,143
year 2027.

6466
03:16:35,946 --> 03:16:36,647
This would in turn free up $6

6467
03:16:36,647 --> 03:16:37,381
million in special promotional

6468
03:16:37,381 --> 03:16:40,381
programs budget that could then

6469
03:16:41,485 --> 03:16:42,253
go towards arts and culture.

6470
03:16:42,253 --> 03:16:42,987
While council MAY free up to

6471
03:16:42,987 --> 03:16:45,987
the full 12.1 million amount by

6472
03:16:46,557 --> 03:16:46,991
using Measure c Convention

6473
03:16:46,991 --> 03:16:47,726
Center funds.

6474
03:16:47,726 --> 03:16:50,726
We recommend against using more

6475
03:16:51,395 --> 03:16:51,796
than $6 million And there are

6476
03:16:51,796 --> 03:16:52,496
two reasons.

6477
03:16:52,496 --> 03:16:54,666
First, the county of San Diego

6478
03:16:54,666 --> 03:16:55,333
has committed almost $3 million

6479
03:16:55,333 --> 03:16:55,900
for arts program grants and

6480
03:16:55,900 --> 03:16:57,900
the private foundation

6481
03:16:59,537 --> 03:17:00,305
announced they would also

6482
03:17:00,305 --> 03:17:01,500
provide $3 million for arts and

6483
03:17:01,500 --> 03:17:01,673
culture funding the next year.

6484
03:17:01,673 --> 03:17:05,273
And second, while the use of

6485
03:17:05,977 --> 03:17:06,544
measure c convention center

6486
03:17:06,544 --> 03:17:07,245
funds to pay existing

6487
03:17:07,245 --> 03:17:09,645
convention center debt service

6488
03:17:11,249 --> 03:17:11,983
is legally permissible.

6489
03:17:11,983 --> 03:17:12,650
The convention center faces an

6490
03:17:12,650 --> 03:17:13,217
operating deficit and large

6491
03:17:13,217 --> 03:17:15,217
capital needs backlog.

6492
03:17:16,421 --> 03:17:17,880
The convention center will

6493
03:17:17,880 --> 03:17:17,788
eventually need significant

6494
03:17:17,788 --> 03:17:18,456
resources to move forward with

6495
03:17:18,456 --> 03:17:21,456
a future expansion which was

6496
03:17:22,360 --> 03:17:23,610
the primary intent of Measure c

6497
03:17:23,610 --> 03:17:23,695
Regarding the $6 million that

6498
03:17:23,695 --> 03:17:26,695
we do recommend, we should

6499
03:17:27,399 --> 03:17:27,999
suggest it be allocated to

6500
03:17:27,999 --> 03:17:28,666
the three grant programs

6501
03:17:28,666 --> 03:17:31,660
proportional to their fiscal

6502
03:17:32,470 --> 03:17:33,204
year 2026 budgeted amounts and

6503
03:17:33,204 --> 03:17:33,905
we previously suggested council

6504
03:17:33,905 --> 03:17:34,439
consider implementing funding

6505
03:17:34,439 --> 03:17:36,839
caps to ensure more

6506
03:17:37,942 --> 03:17:38,243
organizations can be supported

6507
03:17:38,243 --> 03:17:38,943
.

6508
03:17:38,943 --> 03:17:39,644
If councilmembers do not

6509
03:17:39,644 --> 03:17:39,978
support the restoration amount

6510
03:17:39,978 --> 03:17:40,645
or caps.

6511
03:17:40,645 --> 03:17:43,448
We recommend noting that in

6512
03:17:43,448 --> 03:17:44,150
today's final budget action on

6513
03:17:44,150 --> 03:17:46,150
homelessness services

6514
03:17:49,200 --> 03:17:49,721
the program reductions in

6515
03:17:49,721 --> 03:17:50,355
the MAY revision most closely

6516
03:17:50,355 --> 03:17:51,890
resemble Option a from our

6517
03:17:51,890 --> 03:17:53,958
office's review of the proposed

6518
03:17:53,958 --> 03:17:54,626
budget but includes the closure

6519
03:17:54,626 --> 03:17:55,193
of Arrow Drive safe parking

6520
03:17:55,193 --> 03:17:55,593
instead of prevention

6521
03:17:55,593 --> 03:17:57,593
reductions.

6522
03:17:59,431 --> 03:18:00,310
Our office recommends three

6523
03:18:00,310 --> 03:18:00,398
modifications to the MAY

6524
03:18:00,398 --> 03:18:00,965
revision.

6525
03:18:00,965 --> 03:18:01,566
The modifications were

6526
03:18:01,566 --> 03:18:03,966
developed by the Housing

6527
03:18:05,837 --> 03:18:06,504
Commission and in consultation

6528
03:18:06,504 --> 03:18:08,904
with h r 56 councilmembers

6529
03:18:09,440 --> 03:18:10,410
supported these program

6530
03:18:10,410 --> 03:18:10,742
reductions and a seventh

6531
03:18:10,742 --> 03:18:11,410
councilmember supported three

6532
03:18:11,410 --> 03:18:12,430
of the alternate reductions

6533
03:18:12,430 --> 03:18:14,430
The recommended alternate

6534
03:18:15,747 --> 03:18:18,147
reductions include first a $1.6

6535
03:18:21,119 --> 03:18:21,719
million reduction to the 16th

6536
03:18:21,719 --> 03:18:22,354
and meeting shelter $1.3

6537
03:18:22,354 --> 03:18:25,354
million less than the MAY

6538
03:18:25,791 --> 03:18:26,391
revision.

6539
03:18:26,391 --> 03:18:27,920
This would result in

6540
03:18:27,920 --> 03:18:30,920
the reduction of 50 beds which

6541
03:18:30,596 --> 03:18:31,362
is less than the estimated 200

6542
03:18:31,362 --> 03:18:32,300
to 250 beds reduced and to be

6543
03:18:32,300 --> 03:18:32,731
revised while 50 guys would

6544
03:18:32,731 --> 03:18:35,867
still be reduced they will be

6545
03:18:35,867 --> 03:18:36,401
replaced by expanded capacity

6546
03:18:36,401 --> 03:18:37,136
at another shelter.

6547
03:18:37,136 --> 03:18:40,136
Next we recommend the closure

6548
03:18:40,539 --> 03:18:41,239
of the 37 bed city funded

6549
03:18:41,239 --> 03:18:43,639
lighthouse shelter due to

6550
03:18:44,809 --> 03:18:45,544
operational challenges running

6551
03:18:45,544 --> 03:18:45,980
two different service models at

6552
03:18:45,980 --> 03:18:47,980
the same site.

6553
03:18:48,914 --> 03:18:49,314
This would reduce expenditures

6554
03:18:49,314 --> 03:18:49,948
by 980,000.

6555
03:18:49,948 --> 03:18:50,615
However, these beds would

6556
03:18:50,615 --> 03:18:53,615
continue to operate under a

6557
03:18:54,853 --> 03:18:55,187
different program without city

6558
03:18:55,187 --> 03:18:56,210
funding.

6559
03:18:56,210 --> 03:18:59,324
And lastly we recommend the use

6560
03:18:59,324 --> 03:18:59,891
of $406,000 in state grant

6561
03:18:59,891 --> 03:19:00,459
funding for the family

6562
03:19:00,459 --> 03:19:02,459
reunification program.

6563
03:19:03,562 --> 03:19:04,229
These three modifications

6564
03:19:04,229 --> 03:19:04,930
netted additional $42,000 in

6565
03:19:04,930 --> 03:19:07,930
seatings and we recommend they

6566
03:19:09,701 --> 03:19:10,369
be used to support additional

6567
03:19:10,369 --> 03:19:10,836
wind down funding at the new

6568
03:19:10,836 --> 03:19:11,369
Good Day Center.

6569
03:19:11,369 --> 03:19:13,369
The program operator

6570
03:19:14,600 --> 03:19:14,706
transitions to a scaled down

6571
03:19:14,706 --> 03:19:15,474
services at a smaller site.

6572
03:19:15,474 --> 03:19:18,474
The elimination of security at

6573
03:19:20,746 --> 03:19:21,446
the Old Central Library and

6574
03:19:21,446 --> 03:19:22,810
safe parking at your drive in

6575
03:19:22,810 --> 03:19:24,810
Central Elementary remain

6576
03:19:26,185 --> 03:19:26,851
unchanged from the MAY revision

6577
03:19:26,851 --> 03:19:27,486
Last recommended recommended

6578
03:19:27,486 --> 03:19:29,886
modification without a net

6579
03:19:31,357 --> 03:19:32,900
general fund impact is to

6580
03:19:32,900 --> 03:19:32,757
restore one fte program manager

6581
03:19:32,757 --> 03:19:33,425
position and Office of Labor

6582
03:19:33,425 --> 03:19:35,825
Standards and Enforcement in

6583
03:19:37,496 --> 03:19:38,130
transferring all of

6584
03:19:38,130 --> 03:19:38,764
the personnel revenue and

6585
03:19:38,764 --> 03:19:39,465
expenditure from the City

6586
03:19:39,465 --> 03:19:42,465
Treasurer's office to the City

6587
03:19:43,680 --> 03:19:43,835
Attorney's Office.

6588
03:19:43,835 --> 03:19:44,436
Once in the City Attorney's

6589
03:19:44,436 --> 03:19:45,137
office grant and penalty

6590
03:19:45,137 --> 03:19:48,737
funding can be used to offset

6591
03:19:48,807 --> 03:19:49,274
dollar general fund costs for a

6592
03:19:49,274 --> 03:19:49,942
net zero impact.

6593
03:19:49,942 --> 03:19:53,542
We note that our office has

6594
03:19:54,130 --> 03:19:54,680
made a technical correction to

6595
03:19:54,680 --> 03:19:55,414
the table summarizing these

6596
03:19:55,414 --> 03:19:56,115
adjustments in a report on page

6597
03:19:56,115 --> 03:19:56,448
ten to ensure they are budget

6598
03:19:56,448 --> 03:19:58,448
neutral.

6599
03:19:59,885 --> 03:20:00,585
This proposal was supported by

6600
03:20:00,585 --> 03:20:01,152
seven councilmembers in their

6601
03:20:01,152 --> 03:20:03,152
budget priority memos.

6602
03:20:05,591 --> 03:20:06,258
Next transitioning to our

6603
03:20:06,258 --> 03:20:06,926
office's recommendations for

6604
03:20:06,926 --> 03:20:07,526
ongoing and one time revenue

6605
03:20:07,526 --> 03:20:09,526
adjustments and resource

6606
03:20:11,363 --> 03:20:11,963
modifications.

6607
03:20:11,963 --> 03:20:12,531
Like Charles previously

6608
03:20:12,531 --> 03:20:13,164
mentioned, our office

6609
03:20:13,164 --> 03:20:15,164
identified $4.5 million in

6610
03:20:17,200 --> 03:20:17,736
ongoing resources and 2.1

6611
03:20:17,736 --> 03:20:18,337
million in 1 time resources for

6612
03:20:18,337 --> 03:20:20,737
a total of $6.6 million.

6613
03:20:23,242 --> 03:20:23,943
In later slides Gillian will

6614
03:20:23,943 --> 03:20:26,343
detail the exact expenditures

6615
03:20:27,179 --> 03:20:27,780
but we were recommending using

6616
03:20:27,780 --> 03:20:29,780
1.9 million in ongoing

6617
03:20:31,751 --> 03:20:32,451
resources and $180,000 in one

6618
03:20:32,451 --> 03:20:32,851
time resources for a total of

6619
03:20:32,851 --> 03:20:34,851
2.9 million.

6620
03:20:36,622 --> 03:20:37,255
This leaves 2.6 million in

6621
03:20:37,255 --> 03:20:37,923
ongoing resources and 1.1

6622
03:20:37,923 --> 03:20:38,290
million in 1 time resources

6623
03:20:38,290 --> 03:20:40,290
remaining.

6624
03:20:41,894 --> 03:20:42,428
Given the structural budget

6625
03:20:42,428 --> 03:20:43,620
deficit and economic

6626
03:20:43,620 --> 03:20:43,729
uncertainty, we'd like to

6627
03:20:43,729 --> 03:20:46,729
stress the importance of not

6628
03:20:48,401 --> 03:20:49,101
using any ongoing remaining

6629
03:20:49,101 --> 03:20:49,702
resources for any new ongoing

6630
03:20:49,702 --> 03:20:50,303
expenditures that could

6631
03:20:50,303 --> 03:20:52,303
exacerbate the deficit.

6632
03:20:54,807 --> 03:20:55,441
Additionally, we recommend

6633
03:20:55,441 --> 03:20:56,141
leaving one time remaining

6634
03:20:56,141 --> 03:20:59,141
resources as excess equity or

6635
03:20:59,879 --> 03:21:00,612
reserve contribution to help

6636
03:21:00,612 --> 03:21:01,113
address any unexpected needs in

6637
03:21:01,113 --> 03:21:03,113
fiscal year 2027.

6638
03:21:05,284 --> 03:21:05,918
This table breaks down where

6639
03:21:05,918 --> 03:21:06,552
office identified ongoing

6640
03:21:06,552 --> 03:21:07,153
resources based on revenue

6641
03:21:07,153 --> 03:21:07,753
adjustments, expenditure

6642
03:21:07,753 --> 03:21:09,753
reductions and technical

6643
03:21:11,657 --> 03:21:12,257
adjustments.

6644
03:21:12,257 --> 03:21:12,792
We identified additional

6645
03:21:12,792 --> 03:21:13,459
ongoing revenue from

6646
03:21:13,459 --> 03:21:15,859
the transient occupancy tax

6647
03:21:18,431 --> 03:21:19,310
sales tax and an increased

6648
03:21:19,310 --> 03:21:19,765
reimbursable amount from

6649
03:21:19,765 --> 03:21:20,166
the low moderate Income Housing

6650
03:21:20,166 --> 03:21:22,166
Asset Fund.

6651
03:21:23,502 --> 03:21:24,203
However, these resource

6652
03:21:24,203 --> 03:21:24,904
increases are more than offset

6653
03:21:24,904 --> 03:21:27,904
by decreases in property taxes

6654
03:21:29,509 --> 03:21:30,760
Cannabis business taxes and a

6655
03:21:30,760 --> 03:21:30,743
reduced transfer from

6656
03:21:30,743 --> 03:21:33,143
the Parking Meter Operations

6657
03:21:35,314 --> 03:21:35,648
Fund to net $319,000 in reduced

6658
03:21:35,648 --> 03:21:36,282
revenue.

6659
03:21:36,282 --> 03:21:38,682
Our office also identified

6660
03:21:40,286 --> 03:21:40,987
budgeting expenditure

6661
03:21:40,987 --> 03:21:41,587
reductions that could be made

6662
03:21:41,587 --> 03:21:42,221
due to revised NOVEMBER

6663
03:21:42,221 --> 03:21:44,221
election cost reductions.

6664
03:21:47,193 --> 03:21:47,927
Revised property management

6665
03:21:47,927 --> 03:21:48,594
cost projections for one on one

6666
03:21:48,594 --> 03:21:52,194
and the reduction of one fte

6667
03:21:52,966 --> 03:21:53,600
Public affairs Program Manager

6668
03:21:53,600 --> 03:21:54,200
in the police department

6669
03:21:54,200 --> 03:21:54,701
the latter of which was

6670
03:21:54,701 --> 03:21:55,168
supported by five

6671
03:21:55,168 --> 03:21:57,168
councilmembers.

6672
03:21:58,938 --> 03:21:59,572
These expenditure reductions

6673
03:21:59,572 --> 03:22:00,390
matched to 3.4 million in

6674
03:22:00,390 --> 03:22:00,640
ongoing savings.

6675
03:22:00,640 --> 03:22:03,400
Lastly, we identified a

6676
03:22:05,144 --> 03:22:05,745
technical correction to

6677
03:22:05,745 --> 03:22:06,412
the transit transfer to

6678
03:22:06,412 --> 03:22:07,147
the general fund and trusted

6679
03:22:07,147 --> 03:22:10,747
the demolition of a building at

6680
03:22:10,917 --> 03:22:11,584
Liberty Station as ongoing to

6681
03:22:11,584 --> 03:22:12,285
instead be one time reverse

6682
03:22:12,285 --> 03:22:15,885
the errant transfer of one fte

6683
03:22:17,490 --> 03:22:18,258
hazardous material Inspector

6684
03:22:18,258 --> 03:22:18,925
two from the refuse disposal

6685
03:22:18,925 --> 03:22:19,592
fund to the general Fund and

6686
03:22:19,592 --> 03:22:22,592
corrected the fte count and

6687
03:22:23,129 --> 03:22:23,829
personal expenditures of a

6688
03:22:23,829 --> 03:22:24,130
recreation center restoration

6689
03:22:24,130 --> 03:22:26,130
error.

6690
03:22:27,167 --> 03:22:27,834
These corrections net 1.5

6691
03:22:27,834 --> 03:22:28,535
million in ongoing savings.

6692
03:22:28,535 --> 03:22:32,135
Finally we note that a report

6693
03:22:33,873 --> 03:22:34,607
identified updated residual ppf

6694
03:22:34,607 --> 03:22:35,441
as a potential resource but

6695
03:22:35,441 --> 03:22:39,410
with an amount listed as tbd

6696
03:22:39,712 --> 03:22:40,413
since the release of a report

6697
03:22:40,413 --> 03:22:42,813
our allocations were finalized

6698
03:22:43,883 --> 03:22:44,583
and they will have a negative

6699
03:22:44,583 --> 03:22:46,983
impact of $185,000 on our

6700
03:22:48,621 --> 03:22:49,322
fiscal year 2027 resources and

6701
03:22:49,322 --> 03:22:52,322
recommend that be reflected in

6702
03:22:54,227 --> 03:22:54,961
any final budget motion today.

6703
03:22:54,961 --> 03:22:55,662
This list breaks down the eight

6704
03:22:55,662 --> 03:22:58,662
one time resources Our office

6705
03:23:00,400 --> 03:23:01,340
identified that next to 2.1

6706
03:23:01,340 --> 03:23:04,340
million of these one time

6707
03:23:04,503 --> 03:23:05,138
resources we would like to

6708
03:23:05,138 --> 03:23:05,705
highlight the $621,000 in

6709
03:23:05,705 --> 03:23:06,339
savings identified in

6710
03:23:06,339 --> 03:23:08,339
the performance Analytics

6711
03:23:10,811 --> 03:23:11,478
department After working with

6712
03:23:11,478 --> 03:23:11,812
Pando to identify additional

6713
03:23:11,812 --> 03:23:12,546
savings.

6714
03:23:12,546 --> 03:23:14,946
These savings included budgeted

6715
03:23:16,382 --> 03:23:17,500
personnel expenditure savings

6716
03:23:17,500 --> 03:23:17,751
from holding three positions

6717
03:23:17,751 --> 03:23:18,485
vacant and changes to the cost

6718
03:23:18,485 --> 03:23:21,485
sharing for gas mapping program

6719
03:23:22,389 --> 03:23:23,560
licenses.

6720
03:23:23,560 --> 03:23:23,790
Access equity in fiscal year

6721
03:23:23,790 --> 03:23:24,458
2026 is not proposed as the one

6722
03:23:24,458 --> 03:23:28,580
time resource to be used in

6723
03:23:28,495 --> 03:23:29,196
fiscal year 2027 because of

6724
03:23:29,196 --> 03:23:29,896
elevated risks associated with

6725
03:23:29,896 --> 03:23:32,896
budgeting but not yet received

6726
03:23:34,500 --> 03:23:35,101
revenue in fiscal year 2026.

6727
03:23:35,101 --> 03:23:35,602
Additionally, our office

6728
03:23:35,602 --> 03:23:37,602
recommends leaving

6729
03:23:39,640 --> 03:23:40,339
the remaining 1.1 million in

6730
03:23:40,339 --> 03:23:41,410
unused one time resources for

6731
03:23:41,410 --> 03:23:41,775
potential for potential access

6732
03:23:41,775 --> 03:23:44,175
equity or reserve contributions

6733
03:23:45,111 --> 03:23:45,946
in fiscal year 2027.

6734
03:23:45,946 --> 03:23:46,279
Now I will hand it over to

6735
03:23:46,279 --> 03:23:46,747
Jillian.

6736
03:23:46,747 --> 03:23:48,747
Thank you, Amy.

6737
03:23:50,783 --> 03:23:51,384
Now I'll go over our office's

6738
03:23:51,384 --> 03:23:52,520
recommended expenditure

6739
03:23:52,520 --> 03:23:54,520
modifications which includes

6740
03:23:56,890 --> 03:23:57,423
all majority supported items in

6741
03:23:57,423 --> 03:23:57,958
councilmember budget

6742
03:23:57,958 --> 03:23:58,559
modification memos.

6743
03:23:58,559 --> 03:23:59,159
They mostly fall within

6744
03:23:59,159 --> 03:24:01,559
the category of ongoing

6745
03:24:03,697 --> 03:24:04,263
expenditures with seven items

6746
03:24:04,263 --> 03:24:06,263
totaling 1.9 million.

6747
03:24:08,368 --> 03:24:09,360
First there's 900,000 for

6748
03:24:09,360 --> 03:24:09,770
Council's community projects

6749
03:24:09,770 --> 03:24:12,770
programs and service grants for

6750
03:24:14,842 --> 03:24:15,376
kpbs which equates to $100,000

6751
03:24:15,376 --> 03:24:17,376
per council office.

6752
03:24:18,912 --> 03:24:19,779
We note that this amount could

6753
03:24:19,779 --> 03:24:20,481
be reduced or made one time to

6754
03:24:20,481 --> 03:24:20,914
free up ongoing resources for

6755
03:24:20,914 --> 03:24:22,914
other things.

6756
03:24:24,518 --> 03:24:25,152
Next is 336,000 to Restore

6757
03:24:25,152 --> 03:24:28,152
the Child and your success

6758
03:24:29,390 --> 03:24:30,900
program coordinator with

6759
03:24:30,900 --> 03:24:30,457
$100,000 for contracted youth

6760
03:24:30,457 --> 03:24:31,158
services.

6761
03:24:31,158 --> 03:24:34,158
We also recommend placing this

6762
03:24:34,528 --> 03:24:35,960
position in the mayor's office

6763
03:24:35,960 --> 03:24:35,796
to strengthen policy

6764
03:24:35,796 --> 03:24:37,796
involvement and coordination.

6765
03:24:40,734 --> 03:24:41,368
There's $263,000 to restore

6766
03:24:41,368 --> 03:24:43,768
the city auditor's budget.

6767
03:24:45,372 --> 03:24:46,400
This is partially offset by

6768
03:24:46,400 --> 03:24:46,706
$55,000 at one time Cut to

6769
03:24:46,706 --> 03:24:49,706
the office if recommended or

6770
03:24:50,711 --> 03:24:51,478
requested to take instead.

6771
03:24:51,478 --> 03:24:53,478
There's $215,000 to restore

6772
03:24:55,716 --> 03:24:56,417
the filming Program manager

6773
03:24:56,417 --> 03:24:57,840
165,000 to restore the cut to

6774
03:24:57,840 --> 03:24:57,484
our office to avoid staffing

6775
03:24:57,484 --> 03:24:59,484
reductions.

6776
03:25:02,210 --> 03:25:02,623
21,000 for the addition of a

6777
03:25:02,623 --> 03:25:03,357
deputy city clerk two in

6778
03:25:03,357 --> 03:25:06,957
the clerk's office which is net

6779
03:25:08,940 --> 03:25:08,429
of anticipated passport

6780
03:25:08,429 --> 03:25:09,163
revenue.

6781
03:25:09,163 --> 03:25:09,830
And finally $20,000 for ongoing

6782
03:25:09,830 --> 03:25:12,830
licensing costs for the new

6783
03:25:13,934 --> 03:25:14,501
case management system for

6784
03:25:14,501 --> 03:25:16,501
the Ethics Commission.

6785
03:25:18,839 --> 03:25:19,473
We also have three recommended

6786
03:25:19,473 --> 03:25:19,807
one time items totaling

6787
03:25:19,807 --> 03:25:20,540
980,000.

6788
03:25:20,540 --> 03:25:24,140
The first is restoring the base

6789
03:25:24,878 --> 03:25:25,613
budget for the small Business

6790
03:25:25,613 --> 03:25:26,180
Enhancement Program at 750,000.

6791
03:25:26,180 --> 03:25:26,913
Second is funding for

6792
03:25:26,913 --> 03:25:30,513
the Office of the Commission on

6793
03:25:30,985 --> 03:25:31,718
Police Practices Complaint and

6794
03:25:31,718 --> 03:25:32,119
Investigation Management System

6795
03:25:32,119 --> 03:25:34,119
for 200,000.

6796
03:25:37,580 --> 03:25:37,792
This item actually had support

6797
03:25:37,792 --> 03:25:38,492
from four councilmembers but we

6798
03:25:38,492 --> 03:25:41,492
were able to identify savings

6799
03:25:42,630 --> 03:25:43,130
within the office to offset

6800
03:25:43,130 --> 03:25:45,530
much of the cost.

6801
03:25:47,634 --> 03:25:48,269
And finally is one the one time

6802
03:25:48,269 --> 03:25:51,269
portion of the new Ethics

6803
03:25:52,600 --> 03:25:52,339
Commission software system for

6804
03:25:52,339 --> 03:25:53,800
$30,000.

6805
03:25:53,800 --> 03:25:53,674
So that completes our formal

6806
03:25:53,674 --> 03:25:55,674
recommendations which again

6807
03:25:58,479 --> 03:25:58,779
includes all majority supported

6808
03:25:58,779 --> 03:25:59,513
items.

6809
03:25:59,513 --> 03:26:02,513
After funding them we have $3.7

6810
03:26:03,951 --> 03:26:04,619
million in remaining resources

6811
03:26:04,619 --> 03:26:04,952
of which $2.6 million is

6812
03:26:04,952 --> 03:26:06,952
ongoing.

6813
03:26:08,990 --> 03:26:09,656
When looking at items supported

6814
03:26:09,656 --> 03:26:12,560
by four councilmembers there

6815
03:26:12,994 --> 03:26:13,694
are an additional items

6816
03:26:13,694 --> 03:26:14,395
totaling 4.4 million With

6817
03:26:14,395 --> 03:26:15,960
the remaining resources only a

6818
03:26:15,960 --> 03:26:18,696
portion of that items could be

6819
03:26:19,699 --> 03:26:20,568
funded.

6820
03:26:20,568 --> 03:26:21,136
And because of that we present

6821
03:26:21,136 --> 03:26:21,869
the following items as

6822
03:26:21,869 --> 03:26:24,869
potential additions and are not

6823
03:26:25,606 --> 03:26:26,373
part of our recommendation.

6824
03:26:26,373 --> 03:26:27,740
Before going into them we want

6825
03:26:27,740 --> 03:26:27,809
to again stress the importance

6826
03:26:27,809 --> 03:26:31,409
of keeping the city's long term

6827
03:26:32,380 --> 03:26:33,470
fiscal stability in mind and

6828
03:26:33,470 --> 03:26:33,715
constraining the addition of

6829
03:26:33,715 --> 03:26:36,115
any new ongoing expenditures

6830
03:26:37,852 --> 03:26:38,553
especially if they would worsen

6831
03:26:38,553 --> 03:26:40,953
the structural budget deficit

6832
03:26:43,825 --> 03:26:44,459
versus the full restoration of

6833
03:26:44,459 --> 03:26:45,930
both recreation center and

6834
03:26:45,930 --> 03:26:45,426
library hours totaling 2.9

6835
03:26:45,426 --> 03:26:47,426
million.

6836
03:26:49,864 --> 03:26:50,564
For both of these our office

6837
03:26:50,564 --> 03:26:51,199
includes location by location

6838
03:26:51,199 --> 03:26:51,632
cost to guide any partial

6839
03:26:51,632 --> 03:26:53,632
restorations.

6840
03:26:56,304 --> 03:26:56,904
Next is 592,000 for the police

6841
03:26:56,904 --> 03:26:57,538
department front counter

6842
03:26:57,538 --> 03:26:59,938
staffing which would limit

6843
03:27:02,342 --> 03:27:02,710
the hiring freeze for these

6844
03:27:02,710 --> 03:27:03,378
positions.

6845
03:27:03,378 --> 03:27:04,120
Next is council funding for

6846
03:27:04,120 --> 03:27:06,412
arts culture and community

6847
03:27:08,282 --> 03:27:09,160
festival grants or ccf for

6848
03:27:09,160 --> 03:27:11,160
$450,000 or $50,000 per office.

6849
03:27:14,789 --> 03:27:15,457
There's $222,000 to restore 24

6850
03:27:15,457 --> 03:27:18,457
hour security at the Storage

6851
03:27:20,940 --> 03:27:20,728
Connect Center in line with

6852
03:27:20,728 --> 03:27:21,164
the initial agreement with

6853
03:27:21,164 --> 03:27:21,829
the community.

6854
03:27:21,829 --> 03:27:25,429
We do note that security has

6855
03:27:26,601 --> 03:27:27,268
been reduced since JANUARY and

6856
03:27:27,268 --> 03:27:27,802
both agencies and the police

6857
03:27:27,802 --> 03:27:29,802
department report no

6858
03:27:31,940 --> 03:27:32,373
operational impacts or security

6859
03:27:32,373 --> 03:27:33,141
concerns.

6860
03:27:33,141 --> 03:27:33,908
However, if there was a break

6861
03:27:33,908 --> 03:27:37,679
in and any items were lost that

6862
03:27:37,679 --> 03:27:38,279
could have severe impacts on

6863
03:27:38,279 --> 03:27:38,713
individuals experiencing

6864
03:27:38,713 --> 03:27:39,413
homelessness.

6865
03:27:39,413 --> 03:27:42,413
Finally there was support for

6866
03:27:44,219 --> 03:27:44,819
restoring a chief operating

6867
03:27:44,819 --> 03:27:45,553
officer by promoting one

6868
03:27:45,553 --> 03:27:47,953
existing deputy chief operating

6869
03:27:50,225 --> 03:27:50,892
officer.

6870
03:27:50,892 --> 03:27:54,492
The net cost would be about

6871
03:27:55,330 --> 03:27:56,310
$194,000 based on timing and

6872
03:27:56,310 --> 03:27:56,565
salary assumptions which would

6873
03:27:56,565 --> 03:27:58,565
vary if implemented.

6874
03:28:02,604 --> 03:28:03,305
Now I will cover additional

6875
03:28:03,305 --> 03:28:04,600
potential resources supported

6876
03:28:04,600 --> 03:28:07,600
by several council members or

6877
03:28:08,143 --> 03:28:08,877
identified by our office.

6878
03:28:08,877 --> 03:28:09,477
Some have significant drawbacks

6879
03:28:09,477 --> 03:28:11,877
so we recommend against

6880
03:28:14,683 --> 03:28:15,117
pursuing them as shown in red

6881
03:28:15,117 --> 03:28:17,117
on the slide.

6882
03:28:19,454 --> 03:28:20,550
First is the elimination of

6883
03:28:20,550 --> 03:28:20,621
Axon by 90 software in

6884
03:28:20,621 --> 03:28:21,289
the police department.

6885
03:28:21,289 --> 03:28:23,689
This doesn't produce general

6886
03:28:25,393 --> 03:28:26,600
fund savings because it isn't

6887
03:28:26,600 --> 03:28:26,361
budgeted within the general

6888
03:28:26,361 --> 03:28:28,361
fund.

6889
03:28:29,331 --> 03:28:29,998
Next is implementation of two

6890
03:28:29,998 --> 03:28:30,398
officer units in the police

6891
03:28:30,398 --> 03:28:31,990
department.

6892
03:28:31,990 --> 03:28:34,990
We recommend against this item

6893
03:28:36,305 --> 03:28:36,972
as it would result in a 40%

6894
03:28:36,972 --> 03:28:37,572
reduction in patrol vehicles

6895
03:28:37,572 --> 03:28:40,572
which would lead to fuel

6896
03:28:42,477 --> 03:28:43,211
savings but would likely have

6897
03:28:43,211 --> 03:28:43,912
detrimental impacts to response

6898
03:28:43,912 --> 03:28:46,312
times especially in divisions

6899
03:28:47,816 --> 03:28:48,483
with large geographic service

6900
03:28:48,483 --> 03:28:48,783
areas to address response

6901
03:28:48,783 --> 03:28:49,417
times.

6902
03:28:49,417 --> 03:28:51,817
It would require increased

6903
03:28:54,590 --> 03:28:55,123
overtime costs leading to

6904
03:28:55,123 --> 03:28:55,790
likely no savings or

6905
03:28:55,790 --> 03:28:56,124
potentially increased costs

6906
03:28:56,124 --> 03:28:58,124
instead.

6907
03:29:00,396 --> 03:29:01,290
Another option is one that our

6908
03:29:01,290 --> 03:29:01,763
office identified which is

6909
03:29:01,763 --> 03:29:03,763
reallocating homocysteine grant

6910
03:29:06,602 --> 03:29:07,269
funds that support the Regional

6911
03:29:07,269 --> 03:29:07,903
Task Force on Homelessness.

6912
03:29:07,903 --> 03:29:10,903
Fourth hmas System used to

6913
03:29:12,908 --> 03:29:13,442
report program outcomes in

6914
03:29:13,442 --> 03:29:14,109
service utilization.

6915
03:29:14,109 --> 03:29:14,677
However, this would require

6916
03:29:14,677 --> 03:29:17,677
the task force to find

6917
03:29:18,814 --> 03:29:19,515
alternative funding for this.

6918
03:29:19,515 --> 03:29:20,249
Four council members supported

6919
03:29:20,249 --> 03:29:23,249
the exploration of cost savings

6920
03:29:24,152 --> 03:29:24,819
through reductions to car

6921
03:29:24,819 --> 03:29:25,520
allowances, cell phones and

6922
03:29:25,520 --> 03:29:27,520
non-essential travel expenses.

6923
03:29:29,458 --> 03:29:30,192
$616,000 is the maximum

6924
03:29:30,192 --> 03:29:30,793
estimate we have for this since

6925
03:29:30,793 --> 03:29:33,193
it doesn't account for

6926
03:29:35,132 --> 03:29:35,698
increases related to employees

6927
03:29:35,698 --> 03:29:36,432
submitting for mileage

6928
03:29:36,432 --> 03:29:38,832
reimbursements or travel that's

6929
03:29:41,236 --> 03:29:41,904
still likely needed.

6930
03:29:41,904 --> 03:29:42,503
Eliminating cell phone costs

6931
03:29:42,503 --> 03:29:44,903
would also require labor

6932
03:29:47,142 --> 03:29:47,643
discussions that MAY also have

6933
03:29:47,643 --> 03:29:48,310
offsetting costs.

6934
03:29:48,310 --> 03:29:48,644
So we recommend against that

6935
03:29:48,644 --> 03:29:50,644
option.

6936
03:29:53,215 --> 03:29:53,882
Next is cancellation of

6937
03:29:53,882 --> 03:29:54,516
the automated license plate

6938
03:29:54,516 --> 03:29:57,516
reader or a lpr contract.

6939
03:29:59,788 --> 03:30:00,388
This is a service bundled with

6940
03:30:00,388 --> 03:30:01,900
Ubiquiti, a contract for

6941
03:30:01,900 --> 03:30:04,690
the use of smart street lights

6942
03:30:04,827 --> 03:30:05,594
to cancel a lpr.

6943
03:30:05,594 --> 03:30:06,228
Only would require contract

6944
03:30:06,228 --> 03:30:06,929
renegotiation determine a

6945
03:30:06,929 --> 03:30:09,929
savings amount which we don't

6946
03:30:11,800 --> 03:30:12,434
have identified at the moment.

6947
03:30:12,434 --> 03:30:13,101
Alternatively the whole

6948
03:30:13,101 --> 03:30:15,501
contract could be terminated

6949
03:30:17,439 --> 03:30:18,140
with 30 days notice which would

6950
03:30:18,140 --> 03:30:21,140
lead to $2 million in savings.

6951
03:30:23,579 --> 03:30:24,213
We also raised for

6952
03:30:24,213 --> 03:30:24,880
consideration an item that

6953
03:30:24,880 --> 03:30:25,585
would require action to make

6954
03:30:25,585 --> 03:30:28,585
fees for public safety support

6955
03:30:30,486 --> 03:30:30,886
at special events organized by

6956
03:30:30,886 --> 03:30:31,620
nonprofits.

6957
03:30:31,620 --> 03:30:34,200
A 100% cost recoverable Instead

6958
03:30:35,891 --> 03:30:36,225
of providing existing discounts

6959
03:30:36,225 --> 03:30:36,992
.

6960
03:30:36,992 --> 03:30:37,326
This would generate up to $2.1

6961
03:30:37,326 --> 03:30:39,326
million.

6962
03:30:42,198 --> 03:30:42,932
And finally for council members

6963
03:30:42,932 --> 03:30:43,632
asked our office to identify $3

6964
03:30:43,632 --> 03:30:46,632
million in cuts to departments

6965
03:30:48,638 --> 03:30:49,238
with higher unclassified staff

6966
03:30:49,238 --> 03:30:49,872
such as Panda and

6967
03:30:49,872 --> 03:30:51,872
Communications Department.

6968
03:30:53,909 --> 03:30:54,610
We identified 200 I'm sorry

6969
03:30:54,610 --> 03:30:57,100
621,001 time savings for Panda

6970
03:30:59,315 --> 03:30:59,781
which is included in our

6971
03:30:59,781 --> 03:31:00,416
recommendations.

6972
03:31:00,416 --> 03:31:01,170
Since this falls short of

6973
03:31:01,170 --> 03:31:03,417
the $3 million target we

6974
03:31:05,354 --> 03:31:06,880
provided additional information

6975
03:31:06,880 --> 03:31:06,756
on the major activities of both

6976
03:31:06,756 --> 03:31:08,756
departments with associated

6977
03:31:11,260 --> 03:31:11,961
costs as well as high level

6978
03:31:11,961 --> 03:31:12,428
potential impacts of reducing

6979
03:31:12,428 --> 03:31:13,162
these functions.

6980
03:31:13,162 --> 03:31:16,162
Should Council decide that they

6981
03:31:16,666 --> 03:31:17,433
are no longer a priority?

6982
03:31:17,433 --> 03:31:18,340
It should be noted that other

6983
03:31:18,340 --> 03:31:18,701
departments with higher

6984
03:31:18,701 --> 03:31:20,701
proportions of unclassified

6985
03:31:23,506 --> 03:31:24,106
staff are in other departments

6986
03:31:24,106 --> 03:31:24,740
including independent or

6987
03:31:24,740 --> 03:31:26,740
elected official offices.

6988
03:31:30,113 --> 03:31:30,446
With that I'll hand it off to

6989
03:31:30,446 --> 03:31:31,130
Jordan.

6990
03:31:31,130 --> 03:31:31,681
>> Thank you, Jillian.

6991
03:31:31,681 --> 03:31:32,215
So before we conclude again

6992
03:31:32,215 --> 03:31:34,215
there are additional

6993
03:31:36,485 --> 03:31:37,120
considerations that we believe

6994
03:31:37,120 --> 03:31:37,787
the Council and the public

6995
03:31:37,787 --> 03:31:38,521
should be made aware of and

6996
03:31:38,521 --> 03:31:39,880
should be present in your minds

6997
03:31:39,880 --> 03:31:39,722
as you go about making

6998
03:31:39,722 --> 03:31:40,210
the final budget decisions

6999
03:31:40,210 --> 03:31:42,210
today.

7000
03:31:45,428 --> 03:31:46,620
Next slide.

7001
03:31:46,620 --> 03:31:46,696
>> The first is the city's

7002
03:31:46,696 --> 03:31:47,363
structural budget deficit.

7003
03:31:47,363 --> 03:31:50,363
While some progress has been

7004
03:31:50,833 --> 03:31:51,567
made on addressing the long

7005
03:31:51,567 --> 03:31:52,235
term structural budget deficit,

7006
03:31:52,235 --> 03:31:52,869
the overall problem remains

7007
03:31:52,869 --> 03:31:53,436
unsolved and the budget is

7008
03:31:53,436 --> 03:31:55,436
currently constructed.

7009
03:31:58,106 --> 03:31:58,741
The MAY revise is still

7010
03:31:58,741 --> 03:31:59,276
structurally imbalanced by

7011
03:31:59,276 --> 03:32:01,276
about $15.3 million.

7012
03:32:04,180 --> 03:32:04,881
But if reserve contributions in

7013
03:32:04,881 --> 03:32:05,515
line with the current reserve

7014
03:32:05,515 --> 03:32:07,915
policy were included, that

7015
03:32:08,785 --> 03:32:09,118
imbalance will grow to $95.4

7016
03:32:09,118 --> 03:32:09,752
million.

7017
03:32:09,752 --> 03:32:10,486
We know in our report no

7018
03:32:10,486 --> 03:32:12,886
reserve contributions have been

7019
03:32:13,756 --> 03:32:14,457
made since 2023 and fiscal year

7020
03:32:14,457 --> 03:32:15,158
2022 is the last time the city

7021
03:32:15,158 --> 03:32:18,758
had reserves in line with what

7022
03:32:18,928 --> 03:32:19,196
the policy would have called

7023
03:32:19,196 --> 03:32:19,929
for.

7024
03:32:19,929 --> 03:32:21,929
Additionally, while projections

7025
03:32:23,166 --> 03:32:23,833
in APRIL showed a smaller

7026
03:32:23,833 --> 03:32:26,233
deficit of $32.9 million for

7027
03:32:27,537 --> 03:32:28,138
2028 and potential surplus in

7028
03:32:28,138 --> 03:32:28,838
fiscal year 2029, those

7029
03:32:28,838 --> 03:32:29,172
projections are now no longer

7030
03:32:29,172 --> 03:32:31,172
viable.

7031
03:32:33,910 --> 03:32:34,611
I'll discuss the impacts of

7032
03:32:34,611 --> 03:32:35,178
the settlement from yesterday

7033
03:32:35,178 --> 03:32:35,879
on the next slide but

7034
03:32:35,879 --> 03:32:36,479
the impacts of that settlement

7035
03:32:36,479 --> 03:32:39,479
will result in long term

7036
03:32:39,616 --> 03:32:40,283
revenue declines.

7037
03:32:40,283 --> 03:32:40,983
There are also however

7038
03:32:40,983 --> 03:32:43,383
additional cost pressures such

7039
03:32:46,560 --> 03:32:46,723
as both be finalized and still

7040
03:32:46,723 --> 03:32:47,423
to be negotiated labor

7041
03:32:47,423 --> 03:32:48,158
contracts that while the ones

7042
03:32:48,158 --> 03:32:48,825
that have been approved to date

7043
03:32:48,825 --> 03:32:51,825
have limited cost impact in

7044
03:32:53,620 --> 03:32:53,796
the near term, they're

7045
03:32:53,796 --> 03:32:54,497
currently projected to increase

7046
03:32:54,497 --> 03:32:55,650
costs significantly beginning

7047
03:32:55,650 --> 03:32:57,465
in fy 2029 and beyond.

7048
03:32:57,900 --> 03:32:58,568
And I will note that most

7049
03:32:58,568 --> 03:32:59,302
likely doesn't also include

7050
03:32:59,302 --> 03:32:59,869
the impacts for things that you

7051
03:32:59,869 --> 03:33:01,869
heard about yesterday.

7052
03:33:03,540 --> 03:33:04,240
There are also cost pressures

7053
03:33:04,240 --> 03:33:04,874
from potential litigation and

7054
03:33:04,874 --> 03:33:05,541
financial exposure due to

7055
03:33:05,541 --> 03:33:07,541
failing infrastructure which

7056
03:33:09,212 --> 03:33:10,130
when combined with everything

7057
03:33:10,130 --> 03:33:10,714
else suggests there is a lot

7058
03:33:10,714 --> 03:33:11,448
more work that will need to be

7059
03:33:11,448 --> 03:33:15,480
done to improve the city's long

7060
03:33:15,652 --> 03:33:16,419
standing financial issues.

7061
03:33:16,419 --> 03:33:17,120
It is crucial that the city

7062
03:33:17,120 --> 03:33:20,120
consider how to right size

7063
03:33:21,758 --> 03:33:22,492
the organization in order to

7064
03:33:22,492 --> 03:33:23,193
avoid the perpetuating cycle of

7065
03:33:23,193 --> 03:33:23,927
annual budget cuts and restore

7066
03:33:23,927 --> 03:33:26,663
the public confidence that will

7067
03:33:26,663 --> 03:33:30,263
be needed to address this as

7068
03:33:33,237 --> 03:33:33,870
well as other issues.

7069
03:33:33,870 --> 03:33:34,471
As mentioned, the recently

7070
03:33:34,471 --> 03:33:35,172
approved agreements from

7071
03:33:35,172 --> 03:33:38,172
yesterday on solid waste fees

7072
03:33:38,809 --> 03:33:39,542
and parking in Balboa Park are

7073
03:33:39,542 --> 03:33:40,177
not anticipated at this time to

7074
03:33:40,177 --> 03:33:40,943
have an impact on the 2027

7075
03:33:40,943 --> 03:33:44,543
budget but they will result in

7076
03:33:45,749 --> 03:33:46,549
ongoing revenue declines.

7077
03:33:46,549 --> 03:33:50,149
On the solid waste piece rates

7078
03:33:50,754 --> 03:33:51,355
are now reduced for fiscal year

7079
03:33:51,355 --> 03:33:52,890
2029 which combined with

7080
03:33:52,890 --> 03:33:52,822
the mitigating actions that you

7081
03:33:52,822 --> 03:33:55,822
heard about yesterday will most

7082
03:33:57,461 --> 03:33:58,161
likely result in an increased

7083
03:33:58,161 --> 03:34:01,761
turn off on spending of around

7084
03:34:02,320 --> 03:34:02,666
$10.8 million in 28 and $10

7085
03:34:02,666 --> 03:34:03,366
million in 2029 and would

7086
03:34:03,366 --> 03:34:04,101
potentially be that amount or

7087
03:34:04,101 --> 03:34:07,101
larger in every year thereafter

7088
03:34:08,572 --> 03:34:09,106
unless a new cost of service

7089
03:34:09,106 --> 03:34:09,773
study is completed.

7090
03:34:09,773 --> 03:34:10,440
The mitigating actions again

7091
03:34:10,440 --> 03:34:12,840
mostly include were service

7092
03:34:14,440 --> 03:34:14,778
levels such as the elimination

7093
03:34:14,778 --> 03:34:15,479
of walking and pickup in weekly

7094
03:34:15,479 --> 03:34:16,113
recycling which if the council

7095
03:34:16,113 --> 03:34:19,113
did wish to maintain both

7096
03:34:19,650 --> 03:34:20,184
levels would require additional

7097
03:34:20,184 --> 03:34:22,184
fund contributions.

7098
03:34:24,621 --> 03:34:25,489
Additionally now the fees are

7099
03:34:25,489 --> 03:34:26,156
locked in place and with as i

7100
03:34:26,156 --> 03:34:26,757
mentioned any unanticipated

7101
03:34:26,757 --> 03:34:29,157
cost increases for waste

7102
03:34:30,761 --> 03:34:31,361
collection such as labor costs,

7103
03:34:31,361 --> 03:34:31,996
vehicle maintenance and

7104
03:34:31,996 --> 03:34:32,596
disposal fees will require

7105
03:34:32,596 --> 03:34:34,596
additional general fund

7106
03:34:37,935 --> 03:34:38,669
resources to fund a service

7107
03:34:38,669 --> 03:34:39,236
that is not provided to all of

7108
03:34:39,236 --> 03:34:39,902
the city's residents.

7109
03:34:39,902 --> 03:34:42,940
But it was only provided to

7110
03:34:42,940 --> 03:34:43,240
some based on the municipal

7111
03:34:43,240 --> 03:34:43,841
code.

7112
03:34:43,841 --> 03:34:44,575
Given this general fund

7113
03:34:44,575 --> 03:34:45,242
exposure, our office recommends

7114
03:34:45,242 --> 03:34:47,242
that environmental services

7115
03:34:49,746 --> 03:34:50,447
develop and produce a five year

7116
03:34:50,447 --> 03:34:51,148
financial outlook that covers

7117
03:34:51,148 --> 03:34:51,849
their operations particularly

7118
03:34:51,849 --> 03:34:54,849
but not exclusively funded by

7119
03:34:55,519 --> 03:34:56,220
the solid Waste Management Fund

7120
03:34:56,220 --> 03:34:56,887
that can be present alongside

7121
03:34:56,887 --> 03:34:59,887
the general fund and beauty

7122
03:35:01,692 --> 03:35:02,260
outlooks every year on paid

7123
03:35:02,260 --> 03:35:02,626
parking.

7124
03:35:02,626 --> 03:35:03,360
At least at this point.

7125
03:35:03,360 --> 03:35:06,960
When we wrote this report there

7126
03:35:07,764 --> 03:35:08,465
was no anticipated impact for

7127
03:35:08,465 --> 03:35:09,990
2027 as again neither parking

7128
03:35:09,990 --> 03:35:09,833
was set to remain in place

7129
03:35:09,833 --> 03:35:10,134
through the end of the calendar

7130
03:35:10,134 --> 03:35:12,134
year.

7131
03:35:14,204 --> 03:35:14,872
We had anticipated that revenue

7132
03:35:14,872 --> 03:35:15,206
from Zoom remained about $3

7133
03:35:15,206 --> 03:35:15,939
million.

7134
03:35:15,939 --> 03:35:19,610
I will note this is possibly up

7135
03:35:19,610 --> 03:35:20,343
in the air to the rapidly

7136
03:35:20,343 --> 03:35:21,450
changing development but as far

7137
03:35:21,450 --> 03:35:21,745
as our report was concerned we

7138
03:35:21,745 --> 03:35:24,145
assumed that $3 million would

7139
03:35:26,116 --> 03:35:26,417
stay for the non-new parking

7140
03:35:26,417 --> 03:35:27,840
lots.

7141
03:35:27,840 --> 03:35:27,751
Updated revenue projections

7142
03:35:27,751 --> 03:35:28,319
with these thoughts are now

7143
03:35:28,319 --> 03:35:30,719
based based on recent

7144
03:35:32,256 --> 03:35:32,923
experience with indicate that

7145
03:35:32,923 --> 03:35:33,657
the overall revenues of paid

7146
03:35:33,657 --> 03:35:34,225
parking had not been eliminated

7147
03:35:34,225 --> 03:35:34,825
would have been about

7148
03:35:34,825 --> 03:35:37,225
the amounts included in

7149
03:35:37,628 --> 03:35:38,296
the current budget based on

7150
03:35:38,296 --> 03:35:38,863
the half year of revenue and

7151
03:35:38,863 --> 03:35:39,530
combined combined with

7152
03:35:39,530 --> 03:35:42,530
the reduction in expenses to

7153
03:35:44,335 --> 03:35:45,102
the non-school lot would result

7154
03:35:45,102 --> 03:35:45,702
in a net zero budget impact to

7155
03:35:45,702 --> 03:35:48,102
the general fund for 27.

7156
03:35:49,840 --> 03:35:50,641
However the hope this would

7157
03:35:50,641 --> 03:35:53,641
lower ongoing net revenue by

7158
03:35:54,450 --> 03:35:54,745
about $9.4 million beginning in

7159
03:35:54,745 --> 03:35:56,745
2028 and obviously continuing

7160
03:36:00,284 --> 03:36:01,510
thereafter.

7161
03:36:01,510 --> 03:36:04,651
Lastly, even if it is possible

7162
03:36:06,991 --> 03:36:07,658
to replace the city for day to

7163
03:36:07,658 --> 03:36:08,326
day operations with ongoing

7164
03:36:08,326 --> 03:36:08,859
revenue, it would still not

7165
03:36:08,859 --> 03:36:10,859
resolve the ongoing

7166
03:36:12,530 --> 03:36:13,298
infrastructure funding deficit

7167
03:36:13,298 --> 03:36:17,100
which as of the last ip outlook

7168
03:36:17,100 --> 03:36:17,535
was around $7.8 billion over

7169
03:36:17,535 --> 03:36:18,136
the next five years.

7170
03:36:18,136 --> 03:36:21,136
As is usual, storm water

7171
03:36:22,340 --> 03:36:23,700
remains the driving force

7172
03:36:23,700 --> 03:36:23,707
behind this ever increasing

7173
03:36:23,707 --> 03:36:24,408
deficit with current but with

7174
03:36:24,408 --> 03:36:26,808
current capital budgets mostly

7175
03:36:28,913 --> 03:36:29,413
relying on reactive needs and

7176
03:36:29,413 --> 03:36:30,810
emergency funding.

7177
03:36:30,810 --> 03:36:30,747
However, storm water is not

7178
03:36:30,747 --> 03:36:34,347
the only major asset with a

7179
03:36:34,952 --> 03:36:35,585
deficit.

7180
03:36:35,585 --> 03:36:36,154
There are also significant

7181
03:36:36,154 --> 03:36:38,154
deficits for streets,

7182
03:36:40,658 --> 03:36:41,459
streetlights, sidewalks, parks

7183
03:36:41,459 --> 03:36:42,126
and public safety assets such

7184
03:36:42,126 --> 03:36:42,760
as police and fire stations.

7185
03:36:42,760 --> 03:36:44,760
Without additional funding

7186
03:36:47,331 --> 03:36:47,865
mostly I would know for capital

7187
03:36:47,865 --> 03:36:48,533
renewal of existing

7188
03:36:48,533 --> 03:36:50,933
infrastructure or funding to

7189
03:36:52,236 --> 03:36:52,937
add new infrastructure called

7190
03:36:52,937 --> 03:36:53,304
one community finance or other

7191
03:36:53,304 --> 03:36:53,805
documents.

7192
03:36:53,805 --> 03:36:54,538
The city's current

7193
03:36:54,538 --> 03:36:56,938
infrastructure is basically set

7194
03:36:58,108 --> 03:36:58,709
to go on a run to fail mode

7195
03:36:58,709 --> 03:36:59,410
which is mentioned will

7196
03:36:59,410 --> 03:36:59,978
increase financial liabilities

7197
03:36:59,978 --> 03:37:02,378
for the city, reducing

7198
03:37:04,182 --> 03:37:04,815
resources for other operating

7199
03:37:04,815 --> 03:37:05,483
services in the long run.

7200
03:37:05,483 --> 03:37:06,840
Additionally, maintenance of

7201
03:37:06,840 --> 03:37:08,840
existing infrastructure

7202
03:37:11,356 --> 03:37:12,560
continues to be underfunded

7203
03:37:12,560 --> 03:37:12,724
quickening the run to failure

7204
03:37:12,724 --> 03:37:15,724
cycle while the MAY revision

7205
03:37:16,561 --> 03:37:17,162
and the budget modifications

7206
03:37:17,162 --> 03:37:17,628
presented do return some

7207
03:37:17,628 --> 03:37:18,262
service levels.

7208
03:37:18,262 --> 03:37:20,262
Facility maintenance which

7209
03:37:22,767 --> 03:37:23,534
ensures the services have a

7210
03:37:23,534 --> 03:37:23,801
place to happen is still being

7211
03:37:23,801 --> 03:37:24,569
cut.

7212
03:37:24,569 --> 03:37:28,769
This is an issue that due to

7213
03:37:28,906 --> 03:37:29,641
its magnitude will require

7214
03:37:29,641 --> 03:37:30,307
significant new revenue as even

7215
03:37:30,307 --> 03:37:30,942
the wholesale elimination of

7216
03:37:30,942 --> 03:37:33,342
some current city services

7217
03:37:36,810 --> 03:37:36,614
would not generate the savings

7218
03:37:36,614 --> 03:37:37,347
necessary to address

7219
03:37:37,347 --> 03:37:38,160
the infrastructure funding gap.

7220
03:37:38,160 --> 03:37:41,186
And now I'll hand it back to

7221
03:37:41,186 --> 03:37:41,686
Charles to conclude.

7222
03:37:41,686 --> 03:37:42,520
Thank you, Jordan.

7223
03:37:42,520 --> 03:37:43,154
So that brings us to our final

7224
03:37:43,154 --> 03:37:45,154
recommended actions taking

7225
03:37:48,250 --> 03:37:48,727
these actions would result in

7226
03:37:48,727 --> 03:37:49,940
the adoption of a balanced fy

7227
03:37:49,940 --> 03:37:51,940
27 budget.

7228
03:37:52,497 --> 03:37:53,630
The first two actions on

7229
03:37:53,630 --> 03:37:53,798
the slide are to adopt

7230
03:37:53,798 --> 03:37:54,399
the proposed budget as modified

7231
03:37:54,399 --> 03:37:57,999
by the MAY revise and as

7232
03:37:58,169 --> 03:37:58,637
modified by my office's

7233
03:37:58,637 --> 03:37:59,471
recommendations.

7234
03:37:59,471 --> 03:38:03,710
We do note that our report

7235
03:38:03,341 --> 03:38:04,420
identified $3.7 million in

7236
03:38:04,420 --> 03:38:04,743
additional resources for which

7237
03:38:04,743 --> 03:38:07,743
we do not make recommendations

7238
03:38:08,880 --> 03:38:09,414
and council could allocate this

7239
03:38:09,414 --> 03:38:10,115
amount to additional

7240
03:38:10,115 --> 03:38:10,815
expenditures today although we

7241
03:38:10,815 --> 03:38:14,286
do suggest at one time amounts

7242
03:38:14,286 --> 03:38:14,853
identified preserved.

7243
03:38:14,853 --> 03:38:15,487
Finally we make three

7244
03:38:15,487 --> 03:38:16,154
recommendations that would

7245
03:38:16,154 --> 03:38:18,554
provide for additional arts

7246
03:38:20,692 --> 03:38:21,425
funding, provide an alternative

7247
03:38:21,425 --> 03:38:21,993
package of homelessness program

7248
03:38:21,993 --> 03:38:22,694
as well as a transfer

7249
03:38:22,694 --> 03:38:25,694
the Office of Labor Standards

7250
03:38:25,763 --> 03:38:26,464
and Enforcement to the City

7251
03:38:26,464 --> 03:38:27,199
Attorney's office all of which

7252
03:38:27,199 --> 03:38:27,866
can be accomplished without any

7253
03:38:27,866 --> 03:38:30,866
impact to the city's general

7254
03:38:31,970 --> 03:38:33,380
fund.

7255
03:38:33,380 --> 03:38:37,838
With that I will wrap up with a

7256
03:38:37,843 --> 03:38:38,610
few observations on next slide.

7257
03:38:38,610 --> 03:38:39,411
First, there is some good news

7258
03:38:39,411 --> 03:38:42,411
here Adopting a balanced budget

7259
03:38:44,583 --> 03:38:45,283
for fy 27 that includes

7260
03:38:45,283 --> 03:38:45,884
meaningful majority supported

7261
03:38:45,884 --> 03:38:47,884
surplus restorations if

7262
03:38:49,454 --> 03:38:50,220
possible.

7263
03:38:50,220 --> 03:38:50,689
Our office identified

7264
03:38:50,689 --> 03:38:51,389
sufficient resources to fund

7265
03:38:51,389 --> 03:38:54,389
all of the modifications that

7266
03:38:55,861 --> 03:38:56,294
were supported by a majority of

7267
03:38:56,294 --> 03:38:56,862
this council.

7268
03:38:56,862 --> 03:38:57,529
The Arts and Cultural

7269
03:38:57,529 --> 03:38:59,529
Restorations The Alternative

7270
03:39:01,433 --> 03:39:02,134
Homelessness package and

7271
03:39:02,134 --> 03:39:02,834
the llc transfer can all be

7272
03:39:02,834 --> 03:39:06,434
done with no net impact to

7273
03:39:07,172 --> 03:39:07,739
the general fund and that is a

7274
03:39:07,739 --> 03:39:08,440
real achievement given

7275
03:39:08,440 --> 03:39:08,906
the fiscal environment that we

7276
03:39:08,906 --> 03:39:09,575
are working in.

7277
03:39:09,575 --> 03:39:13,110
But I also want to be direct

7278
03:39:13,110 --> 03:39:13,579
about what adopting a balanced

7279
03:39:13,579 --> 03:39:13,979
budget today will not

7280
03:39:13,979 --> 03:39:14,647
accomplish.

7281
03:39:14,647 --> 03:39:18,247
It will not solve the city's

7282
03:39:19,510 --> 03:39:19,751
structural fiscal issues.

7283
03:39:19,751 --> 03:39:20,686
Our structural deficit will

7284
03:39:20,686 --> 03:39:24,286
persist into fy 28 with a gap

7285
03:39:25,357 --> 03:39:26,910
of nearly $33 million projected

7286
03:39:26,910 --> 03:39:26,725
out of the proposed budget that

7287
03:39:26,725 --> 03:39:29,725
will likely grow the small

7288
03:39:31,330 --> 03:39:31,997
surplus that was last projected

7289
03:39:31,997 --> 03:39:32,531
in Nephi 29 is also unlikely

7290
03:39:32,531 --> 03:39:34,931
given the impacts of

7291
03:39:35,634 --> 03:39:36,335
the settlement and labor cost

7292
03:39:36,335 --> 03:39:36,868
that we discussed and

7293
03:39:36,868 --> 03:39:38,868
the city's unfunded

7294
03:39:41,720 --> 03:39:41,807
infrastructure backlog at

7295
03:39:41,807 --> 03:39:42,507
nearly $8 billion over the next

7296
03:39:42,507 --> 03:39:43,175
five years alone will continue

7297
03:39:43,175 --> 03:39:46,175
to compound every year that

7298
03:39:47,579 --> 03:39:48,313
goes unaddressed The ongoing

7299
03:39:48,313 --> 03:39:50,713
misalignment between the city's

7300
03:39:52,785 --> 03:39:53,486
revenues and the cost of city

7301
03:39:53,486 --> 03:39:54,190
services that residents expect

7302
03:39:54,190 --> 03:39:54,753
particularly around

7303
03:39:54,753 --> 03:39:57,153
infrastructure cannot be solved

7304
03:39:59,624 --> 03:39:59,925
through cuts inefficiencies

7305
03:39:59,925 --> 03:40:00,559
alone.

7306
03:40:00,559 --> 03:40:01,226
We have stated this before

7307
03:40:01,226 --> 03:40:04,226
The numbers continue to bear

7308
03:40:05,531 --> 03:40:06,198
this out and addressing this

7309
03:40:06,198 --> 03:40:06,832
misalignment will ultimately

7310
03:40:06,832 --> 03:40:09,232
require a significant new

7311
03:40:11,170 --> 03:40:11,938
revenue source.

7312
03:40:11,938 --> 03:40:12,638
Securing that new revenue will

7313
03:40:12,638 --> 03:40:13,372
require a future public vote.

7314
03:40:13,372 --> 03:40:16,972
And to that end building and

7315
03:40:18,100 --> 03:40:18,544
maintaining public trust cannot

7316
03:40:18,544 --> 03:40:19,212
just be a political

7317
03:40:19,212 --> 03:40:22,212
consideration but must be a

7318
03:40:23,820 --> 03:40:23,849
fiscal consideration as well.

7319
03:40:23,849 --> 03:40:24,583
And so as you consider any

7320
03:40:24,583 --> 03:40:25,183
additional modifications beyond

7321
03:40:25,183 --> 03:40:28,183
those that my office has

7322
03:40:29,588 --> 03:40:30,256
recommended, I urge each

7323
03:40:30,256 --> 03:40:30,889
councilmember to weigh this

7324
03:40:30,889 --> 03:40:31,389
reality against your final

7325
03:40:31,389 --> 03:40:33,389
budget decisions.

7326
03:40:35,127 --> 03:40:35,861
The decisions that you make

7327
03:40:35,861 --> 03:40:36,496
today will either strengthen or

7328
03:40:36,496 --> 03:40:37,195
weaken the foundation for

7329
03:40:37,195 --> 03:40:40,195
the conversation that the city

7330
03:40:41,333 --> 03:40:42,000
needs to have with residents

7331
03:40:42,000 --> 03:40:42,701
about the true cost of city

7332
03:40:42,701 --> 03:40:45,701
services and the revenues that

7333
03:40:46,839 --> 03:40:47,239
are needed to provide them

7334
03:40:47,239 --> 03:40:47,806
sustainably.

7335
03:40:47,806 --> 03:40:48,507
And to the members of

7336
03:40:48,507 --> 03:40:48,874
the public that are here this

7337
03:40:48,874 --> 03:40:50,874
afternoon.

7338
03:40:52,778 --> 03:40:53,312
For those of you that are here

7339
03:40:53,312 --> 03:40:54,120
to advocate for more

7340
03:40:54,120 --> 03:40:54,714
restorations, please consider

7341
03:40:54,714 --> 03:40:57,714
that identifying what you want

7342
03:41:00,486 --> 03:41:00,987
funded all the addresses half

7343
03:41:00,987 --> 03:41:01,721
of what's needed.

7344
03:41:01,721 --> 03:41:02,321
The other half is ensuring that

7345
03:41:02,321 --> 03:41:05,910
the city has the ongoing

7346
03:41:05,910 --> 03:41:05,391
resources needed to pay for

7347
03:41:05,391 --> 03:41:05,925
them.

7348
03:41:05,925 --> 03:41:06,659
Our current resource

7349
03:41:06,659 --> 03:41:09,659
constraints mean that any major

7350
03:41:10,362 --> 03:41:10,997
restoration or new program can

7351
03:41:10,997 --> 03:41:11,564
only be funded by cutting

7352
03:41:11,564 --> 03:41:12,980
something else without

7353
03:41:12,980 --> 03:41:14,980
additional revenue.

7354
03:41:16,802 --> 03:41:17,436
This will remain the case and

7355
03:41:17,436 --> 03:41:18,170
additional resources, as I

7356
03:41:18,170 --> 03:41:18,571
said, will ultimately require a

7357
03:41:18,571 --> 03:41:20,571
public vote.

7358
03:41:23,676 --> 03:41:24,309
So if you are here today to ask

7359
03:41:24,309 --> 03:41:25,110
us Council to provide more

7360
03:41:25,110 --> 03:41:25,678
funding for services that you

7361
03:41:25,678 --> 03:41:28,678
rightly care about, I would

7362
03:41:29,347 --> 03:41:30,160
also encourage you to have that

7363
03:41:30,160 --> 03:41:30,383
same conversation with your

7364
03:41:30,383 --> 03:41:31,117
neighbors.

7365
03:41:31,117 --> 03:41:34,117
Because if council alone cannot

7366
03:41:35,121 --> 03:41:35,822
solve the resource side of that

7367
03:41:35,822 --> 03:41:36,422
equation with that my team and

7368
03:41:36,422 --> 03:41:37,900
I are available and look

7369
03:41:37,900 --> 03:41:39,490
forward to this afternoon's

7370
03:41:40,593 --> 03:41:41,160
discussion.

7371
03:41:41,160 --> 03:41:41,694
>> All right.

7372
03:41:41,694 --> 03:41:42,595
Thank you, Charles.

7373
03:41:42,595 --> 03:41:46,195
Thank you to your entire office

7374
03:41:46,666 --> 03:41:47,333
for the very deep and

7375
03:41:47,333 --> 03:41:47,967
thoughtful identification of

7376
03:41:47,967 --> 03:41:49,967
expenditures and resources

7377
03:41:53,720 --> 03:41:53,739
validating them as necessary

7378
03:41:53,739 --> 03:41:54,407
and the candor in which you

7379
03:41:54,407 --> 03:41:56,807
express that throughout your

7380
03:41:58,578 --> 03:41:59,512
team.

7381
03:41:59,512 --> 03:42:00,460
>> So with that, please proceed

7382
03:42:00,460 --> 03:42:00,413
with public comment.

7383
03:42:00,413 --> 03:42:01,114
Thank you.

7384
03:42:01,114 --> 03:42:04,714
Council PRESIDENT We do have a

7385
03:42:05,384 --> 03:42:05,985
little over two hours of public

7386
03:42:05,985 --> 03:42:06,653
comment here in council

7387
03:42:06,653 --> 03:42:09,530
chambers and about 60 people

7388
03:42:10,890 --> 03:42:11,390
with their hands raised in

7389
03:42:11,390 --> 03:42:12,158
the virtual queue.

7390
03:42:12,158 --> 03:42:12,492
So it will be one minute per

7391
03:42:12,492 --> 03:42:13,193
person.

7392
03:42:13,193 --> 03:42:16,793

make it easier for you to get

7397
03:42:22,467 --> 03:42:23,236
up to the microphone.

7398
03:42:23,236 --> 03:42:26,836
We will be starting with Greg.

7399
03:42:29,420 --> 03:42:29,776
So I'm sorry but you know I'm

7400
03:42:29,776 --> 03:42:33,376
off to a bad start today.

7401
03:42:34,547 --> 03:42:35,548

7402
03:42:35,548 --> 03:42:36,160

03:42:36,816 --> 03:42:39,180
Rudy, can you please raise your

7405
03:42:39,180 --> 03:42:41,180

Rudy, can you hear him down?

7407
03:42:51,498 --> 03:42:52,265

So I will go to Robert Morales

7411
03:42:57,637 --> 03:42:58,304
.

7412
03:42:58,304 --> 03:42:59,600
Ron Morales, please come up.

7413
03:42:59,600 --> 03:42:59,306

Thank you.

7430
03:43:21,494 --> 03:43:22,195
Good afternoon.

7431
03:43:22,195 --> 03:43:24,595
Council PRESIDENT And council

7432
03:43:26,833 --> 03:43:27,767
members.

7433
03:43:27,767 --> 03:43:28,467
My name is Robert Morales and I

7434
03:43:28,467 --> 03:43:30,867
am the business representative

7435
03:43:31,505 --> 03:43:32,271
for I.R.S. Local 122.

7436
03:43:32,271 --> 03:43:35,271
I represent more than 2600 Arts

7437
03:43:37,770 --> 03:43:37,677
and Entertainment Convention

7438
03:43:37,677 --> 03:43:38,345
and trade show workers

7439
03:43:38,345 --> 03:43:40,745
throughout San Diego County.

7440
03:43:42,416 --> 03:43:43,183
I want to thank council members

7441
03:43:43,183 --> 03:43:46,183
Lee and Foster for spearheading

7442
03:43:49,122 --> 03:43:49,823
a plan of action to address

7443
03:43:49,823 --> 03:43:52,223
the proposed 2027 budget cuts

7444
03:43:54,528 --> 03:43:54,861
to the arts and culture funding

7445
03:43:54,861 --> 03:43:55,262
.

7446
03:43:55,262 --> 03:43:56,195
So kudos.

7447
03:43:56,195 --> 03:43:59,795
I also want to recognize County

7448
03:44:01,735 --> 03:44:02,302
Supervisor Monica Step at

7449
03:44:02,302 --> 03:44:04,702
the San Diego Private

7450
03:44:06,974 --> 03:44:07,674
Foundation for stepping forward

7451
03:44:07,674 --> 03:44:08,342
and taking action to support

7452
03:44:08,342 --> 03:44:10,742
our region's arts community.

7453
03:44:13,880 --> 03:44:14,448
These proposed cuts would have

7454
03:44:14,448 --> 03:44:15,115
real impact on working

7455
03:44:15,115 --> 03:44:17,115
families, local businesses,

7456
03:44:19,987 --> 03:44:20,687
cultural organizations and

7457
03:44:20,687 --> 03:44:21,321
thousands of workers who help

7458
03:44:21,321 --> 03:44:21,955
bring arts, entertainment

7459
03:44:21,955 --> 03:44:23,955
conventions and community

7460
03:44:26,590 --> 03:44:29,659
events to life in San Diego.

7461
03:44:31,565 --> 03:44:32,166
Arts and culture are not

7462
03:44:32,166 --> 03:44:32,733
expenses to be cut.

7463
03:44:32,733 --> 03:44:34,733
They are investments.

7464
03:44:37,270 --> 03:44:37,938
They strengthen our community,

7465
03:44:37,938 --> 03:44:38,338
enrich our neighborhoods and

7466
03:44:38,338 --> 03:44:40,338
create jobs.

7467
03:44:43,577 --> 03:44:44,344
I urge all council members to

7468
03:44:44,344 --> 03:44:45,450
vote yes on this common sense

7469
03:44:45,450 --> 03:44:47,445
proposal and demonstrate your

7470
03:44:49,830 --> 03:44:49,683
commitment to preserving San

7471
03:44:49,683 --> 03:44:50,150
Diego's vibrant arts and

7472
03:44:50,150 --> 03:44:50,950
culture sector.

7473
03:44:50,950 --> 03:44:54,550
Thank you for your time and

7474
03:44:55,956 --> 03:44:56,490
consideration.

7475
03:44:56,490 --> 03:44:57,240
Thank you, Gregg.

7476
03:44:57,240 --> 03:44:59,424
Is Rudy back in?

7477
03:45:01,428 --> 03:45:02,129
Thank you.

7478
03:45:02,129 --> 03:45:02,596
>> You'll have two minutes.

7479
03:45:02,596 --> 03:45:02,963
Please proceed.

7480
03:45:02,963 --> 03:45:03,664
Thank you.

7481
03:45:03,664 --> 03:45:06,640
Good morning, council members.

7482
03:45:08,200 --> 03:45:08,702
My name is Greg Sylvester's All

7483
03:45:08,702 --> 03:45:09,403
the PRESIDENT 8122 I represent

7484
03:45:09,403 --> 03:45:09,937
the workers who build load and

7485
03:45:09,937 --> 03:45:12,337
run and support live

7486
03:45:13,474 --> 03:45:14,108
entertainment theater, film,

7487
03:45:14,108 --> 03:45:14,842
television conventions and

7488
03:45:14,842 --> 03:45:15,176
cultural events throughout this

7489
03:45:15,176 --> 03:45:17,176
region.

7490
03:45:19,580 --> 03:45:20,314
I'm here today to speak in

7491
03:45:20,314 --> 03:45:20,881
favor of the budget before you.

7492
03:45:20,881 --> 03:45:21,548
I know this has been a

7493
03:45:21,548 --> 03:45:24,548
difficult budget year and I

7494
03:45:25,486 --> 03:45:26,186
want to acknowledge the work

7495
03:45:26,186 --> 03:45:26,754
that has been done to listen,

7496
03:45:26,754 --> 03:45:27,187
adjust and respond to

7497
03:45:27,187 --> 03:45:29,187
the community.

7498
03:45:31,358 --> 03:45:32,590
In particular I want to thank

7499
03:45:32,590 --> 03:45:32,760
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

7500
03:45:32,760 --> 03:45:33,494
as well as Budget Chair Foster

7501
03:45:33,494 --> 03:45:36,494
for the leadership in restoring

7502
03:45:37,198 --> 03:45:37,932
Arts and culture funding for

7503
03:45:37,932 --> 03:45:41,532
the Council and the Council and

7504
03:45:43,537 --> 03:45:44,400
for preserving the city's film

7505
03:45:44,400 --> 03:45:44,739
office position.

7506
03:45:44,739 --> 03:45:45,390
Arts and culture are just fine.

7507
03:45:45,390 --> 03:45:47,390
Sorry.

7508
03:45:49,610 --> 03:45:50,277
Arts and culture are not just

7509
03:45:50,277 --> 03:45:50,811
line items they are workers

7510
03:45:50,811 --> 03:45:52,811
stages, classrooms,

7511
03:45:55,216 --> 03:45:55,583
neighborhood events, museums,

7512
03:45:55,583 --> 03:45:56,117
theaters.

7513
03:45:56,117 --> 03:45:56,851
Music, dance, film.

7514
03:45:56,851 --> 03:45:59,851
And the organizations that make

7515
03:46:01,389 --> 03:46:01,922
San Diego feel like San Diego.

7516
03:46:01,922 --> 03:46:02,557
These dollars touch

7517
03:46:02,557 --> 03:46:03,157
institutions like the Old

7518
03:46:03,157 --> 03:46:05,557
Globe, San Diego Opera,

7519
03:46:06,593 --> 03:46:07,194
the Symphony, San Diego musical

7520
03:46:07,194 --> 03:46:07,895
theater and many smaller

7521
03:46:07,895 --> 03:46:08,663
organizations across the city.

7522
03:46:08,663 --> 03:46:12,863
I also want to thank you for

7523
03:46:13,167 --> 03:46:13,634
preserving the city's film

7524
03:46:13,634 --> 03:46:14,267
office position.

7525
03:46:14,267 --> 03:46:14,969
That position is not just

7526
03:46:14,969 --> 03:46:18,569
paperwork it is the front door

7527
03:46:18,705 --> 03:46:19,407
for productions that want to

7528
03:46:19,407 --> 03:46:20,760
film here and be crew hotel

7529
03:46:20,760 --> 03:46:22,476
rooms, catering and parking.

7530
03:46:24,440 --> 03:46:24,646
Local spending and national

7531
03:46:24,646 --> 03:46:25,346
visibility to San Diego.

7532
03:46:25,346 --> 03:46:25,913
I also want to acknowledge

7533
03:46:25,913 --> 03:46:27,913
the Convention center.

7534
03:46:30,918 --> 03:46:31,285
For my members it is not

7535
03:46:31,285 --> 03:46:32,190
abstract.

7536
03:46:32,190 --> 03:46:32,620
It is one of the most important

7537
03:46:32,620 --> 03:46:35,200
workplaces in the city.

7538
03:46:35,957 --> 03:46:36,657
Its expansion and modernization

7539
03:46:36,657 --> 03:46:37,158
must remain part of the long

7540
03:46:37,158 --> 03:46:37,825
term conversation.

7541
03:46:37,825 --> 03:46:40,825
They are connected pieces of

7542
03:46:41,996 --> 03:46:42,763
the same economy.

7543
03:46:42,763 --> 03:46:43,498
So I support this budget

7544
03:46:43,498 --> 03:46:44,198
because it keeps the door open.

7545
03:46:44,198 --> 03:46:47,198
But this restoration should be

7546
03:46:48,200 --> 03:46:48,468
seen as a bridge not just

7547
03:46:48,468 --> 03:46:49,169
the finish line.

7548
03:46:49,169 --> 03:46:49,837
It gives the city to the city

7549
03:46:49,837 --> 03:46:51,837
philanthropy, labor, tourism

7550
03:46:54,409 --> 03:46:55,900
and the creative community time

7551
03:46:55,900 --> 03:46:55,376
to build something more

7552
03:46:55,376 --> 03:46:56,770
permanent.

7553
03:46:56,770 --> 03:46:56,678
>> Thank you for listening and

7554
03:46:56,678 --> 03:46:59,678
thank you for your time.

7555
03:47:00,515 --> 03:47:01,150
Thank you.

7556
03:47:01,150 --> 03:47:03,150
>> Dan Goodman.

7557
03:47:07,555 --> 03:47:08,323
Dan Goodman Are you here?

7558
03:47:08,323 --> 03:47:11,323
>> Fernanda Flores Do you have

7559
03:47:12,694 --> 03:47:12,994
to be present when they're

7560
03:47:12,994 --> 03:47:13,695
here?

7561
03:47:13,695 --> 03:47:14,195
Fernanda Flores You have time

7562
03:47:14,195 --> 03:47:16,595
to buy that card.

7563
03:47:18,299 --> 03:47:19,000
Thank you so much.

7564
03:47:19,000 --> 03:47:19,467
You'll have two minutes.

7565
03:47:19,467 --> 03:47:19,834
Please proceed.

7566
03:47:19,834 --> 03:47:20,535
Thank you.

7567
03:47:20,535 --> 03:47:20,902
Good afternoon, Chair LaCava.

7568
03:47:20,902 --> 03:47:21,369
Anything?

7569
03:47:21,369 --> 03:47:23,369
Council members?

7570
03:47:23,938 --> 03:47:24,973
My name is Fernanda Flores.

7571
03:47:24,973 --> 03:47:25,707
I am also a 28 year resident of

7572
03:47:25,707 --> 03:47:28,707
District four and the political

7573
03:47:30,579 --> 03:47:32,979
director without the local 122.

7574
03:47:34,416 --> 03:47:35,830
Today we're probably

7575
03:47:35,830 --> 03:47:35,683
representing 5000 stagehands

7576
03:47:35,683 --> 03:47:36,184
throughout San Diego and

7577
03:47:36,184 --> 03:47:36,818
Coachella Valley.

7578
03:47:36,818 --> 03:47:40,388
We urge you to vote yes on

7579
03:47:40,388 --> 03:47:40,922
the updated budget proposal

7580
03:47:40,922 --> 03:47:41,623
including potential

7581
03:47:41,623 --> 03:47:41,957
modifications by four council

7582
03:47:41,957 --> 03:47:42,590
members.

7583
03:47:42,590 --> 03:47:45,590
Arts and culture is often

7584
03:47:46,728 --> 03:47:47,328
viewed as an extra for

7585
03:47:47,328 --> 03:47:47,695
the people I represent.

7586
03:47:47,695 --> 03:47:48,396
It is not.

7587
03:47:48,396 --> 03:47:51,996
It is an economic engine Any

7588
03:47:52,634 --> 03:47:53,334
source of employment for

7589
03:47:53,334 --> 03:47:53,902
thousands of workers who keep

7590
03:47:53,902 --> 03:47:54,536
our theaters, cultural

7591
03:47:54,536 --> 03:47:56,536
institutions and community

7592
03:47:58,973 --> 03:47:59,841
spaces running.

7593
03:47:59,841 --> 03:48:00,442
When arts funding is cut, jobs

7594
03:48:00,442 --> 03:48:01,760
are lost, opportunities

7595
03:48:01,760 --> 03:48:03,760
disappear and communities

7596
03:48:04,346 --> 03:48:05,180
suffer.

7597
03:48:05,180 --> 03:48:05,913
As we look at the state of

7598
03:48:05,913 --> 03:48:08,913
the world today, uncertainty of

7599
03:48:10,118 --> 03:48:10,819
hitting workers at every level

7600
03:48:10,819 --> 03:48:11,519
from federal funding cuts and

7601
03:48:11,519 --> 03:48:13,519
economic stability instability

7602
03:48:15,857 --> 03:48:16,525
to challenges at the state

7603
03:48:16,525 --> 03:48:17,226
level, working families are

7604
03:48:17,226 --> 03:48:19,626
facing growing job insecurity

7605
03:48:22,229 --> 03:48:22,898
and threats to their careers

7606
03:48:22,898 --> 03:48:23,498
wondering whether their jobs

7607
03:48:23,498 --> 03:48:24,132
will be there tomorrow.

7608
03:48:24,132 --> 03:48:27,132
That issue is also deeply

7609
03:48:28,236 --> 03:48:28,837
personal to me.

7610
03:48:28,837 --> 03:48:29,538
Growing up I was

7611
03:48:29,538 --> 03:48:30,205
the beneficiary of city funded

7612
03:48:30,205 --> 03:48:32,205
recreation center programs.

7613
03:48:35,109 --> 03:48:35,844
For seven years my father made

7614
03:48:35,844 --> 03:48:39,444
sacrifices so my siblings and I

7615
03:48:40,982 --> 03:48:41,749
could take that going to class

7616
03:48:41,749 --> 03:48:42,384
at that kind of rec center with

7617
03:48:42,384 --> 03:48:45,984
MR. Evans, a veteran and a

7618
03:48:46,621 --> 03:48:47,322
mentor who helped shape my

7619
03:48:47,322 --> 03:48:47,723
confidence and discipline as a

7620
03:48:47,723 --> 03:48:48,323
brown woman.

7621
03:48:48,323 --> 03:48:48,824
My father believed that

7622
03:48:48,824 --> 03:48:50,824
investing in those

7623
03:48:51,927 --> 03:48:52,626
opportunities would give us

7624
03:48:52,626 --> 03:48:53,610
the tools not just to survive

7625
03:48:53,610 --> 03:48:53,762
but to thrive.

7626
03:48:53,762 --> 03:48:57,362
Today I stand before you as

7627
03:48:57,765 --> 03:48:58,400
proof of what public investment

7628
03:48:58,400 --> 03:48:58,800
in community programs can

7629
03:48:58,800 --> 03:48:59,467
accomplish.

7630
03:48:59,467 --> 03:49:02,467
The decisions you make today

7631
03:49:03,672 --> 03:49:04,339
will determine whether the next

7632
03:49:04,339 --> 03:49:05,700
generation of San Diego and

7633
03:49:05,700 --> 03:49:07,407
those same opportunities on

7634
03:49:08,944 --> 03:49:09,244
behalf of our people will win

7635
03:49:09,244 --> 03:49:09,912
22.

7636
03:49:09,912 --> 03:49:10,612
Thank you for listening with

7637
03:49:10,612 --> 03:49:13,120
empathy for finding solutions

7638
03:49:15,684 --> 03:49:16,385
and continuing to stand with

7639
03:49:16,385 --> 03:49:17,520
working families and investing

7640
03:49:17,520 --> 03:49:17,786
in the jobs and communities

7641
03:49:17,786 --> 03:49:18,860
that make Then you go to find a

7642
03:49:18,860 --> 03:49:20,860
city.

7643
03:49:22,157 --> 03:49:22,958
>> Thank you.

7644
03:49:22,958 --> 03:49:23,292
Thank you for that concluding

7645
03:49:23,292 --> 03:49:23,926
remark.

7646
03:49:23,926 --> 03:49:26,926
Doris when after Doris win

7647
03:49:27,496 --> 03:49:28,163
we're going to have Stephen go

7648
03:49:28,163 --> 03:49:30,563
Akilah Templeton, Jim Whalen

7649
03:49:34,360 --> 03:49:34,803
join Senator and Nicole Maria

7650
03:49:34,803 --> 03:49:35,504
Ramirez If you can please come

7651
03:49:35,504 --> 03:49:36,400
up to the other reserve seats.

7652
03:49:36,400 --> 03:49:38,400
>> Please proceed.

7653
03:49:39,208 --> 03:49:39,908
My name is Doris Wynn, resident

7654
03:49:39,908 --> 03:49:40,609
of District one speaking as a

7655
03:49:40,609 --> 03:49:43,900
volunteer with San Diego 350.

7656
03:49:45,280 --> 03:49:46,150
I'm here today to ask you fund

7657
03:49:46,150 --> 03:49:46,715
the Multimodal road safety team

7658
03:49:46,715 --> 03:49:46,982
in the fiscal year 27 budget.

7659
03:49:46,982 --> 03:49:48,982
Why?

7660
03:49:50,752 --> 03:49:51,419
Because cutting plans for

7661
03:49:51,419 --> 03:49:52,540
bicycle lanes and crosswalks

7662
03:49:52,540 --> 03:49:52,354
makes our communities less

7663
03:49:52,354 --> 03:49:54,354
safe.

7664
03:49:56,592 --> 03:49:57,326
In addition, improving bicycle

7665
03:49:57,326 --> 03:49:57,992
lanes, crosswalks and other

7666
03:49:57,992 --> 03:49:58,694
multimodal measures make it

7667
03:49:58,694 --> 03:49:59,940
more attractive for people to

7668
03:49:59,940 --> 03:50:01,940
drive less.

7669
03:50:02,630 --> 03:50:03,298
Reducing emissions and

7670
03:50:03,298 --> 03:50:03,766
pollution that contribute to

7671
03:50:03,766 --> 03:50:04,432
climate change.

7672
03:50:04,432 --> 03:50:06,832
We understand that resources

7673
03:50:08,737 --> 03:50:09,470
are tight but we believe there

7674
03:50:09,470 --> 03:50:10,206
are places in the budget where

7675
03:50:10,206 --> 03:50:10,872
money can be saved and used to

7676
03:50:10,872 --> 03:50:13,272
fund multimodal road safety

7677
03:50:15,144 --> 03:50:15,844
teams specifically use Transnet

7678
03:50:15,844 --> 03:50:16,512
or arm or mra funds and

7679
03:50:16,512 --> 03:50:18,912
prioritize safety over other

7680
03:50:21,350 --> 03:50:22,840
transportation priorities.

7681
03:50:22,840 --> 03:50:24,484
Council the flock surveillance

7682
03:50:27,589 --> 03:50:28,290
contract and taxpayer funded

7683
03:50:28,290 --> 03:50:28,590
subsidies for police at Petco

7684
03:50:28,590 --> 03:50:29,124
Park.

7685
03:50:29,124 --> 03:50:31,524
Thank you very much.

7686
03:50:33,762 --> 03:50:34,463
Without the team we aren't

7687
03:50:34,463 --> 03:50:35,970
going to see new bike lanes or

7688
03:50:35,970 --> 03:50:36,331
potholes for a long time.

7689
03:50:36,331 --> 03:50:38,731
>> Thank you for listening.

7690
03:50:42,805 --> 03:50:43,772
>> Go.

7691
03:50:43,772 --> 03:50:47,972
My name is Steven Gelb and I'm

7692
03:50:49,211 --> 03:50:49,511
the board PRESIDENT Of San

7693
03:50:49,511 --> 03:50:49,779
Diego.

7694
03:50:49,779 --> 03:50:50,413
350.

7695
03:50:50,413 --> 03:50:50,980
I urge you to restore

7696
03:50:50,980 --> 03:50:51,380
the multimodal team to

7697
03:50:51,380 --> 03:50:53,380
the budget.

7698
03:50:55,484 --> 03:50:56,185
Consider that up to 30% of San

7699
03:50:56,185 --> 03:50:59,185
Diego cannot drive because of

7700
03:51:00,890 --> 03:51:01,657
age disability license

7701
03:51:01,657 --> 03:51:02,910
suspension or not being able to

7702
03:51:02,910 --> 03:51:02,658
afford a car.

7703
03:51:02,658 --> 03:51:04,658
Prioritizing biking

7704
03:51:07,763 --> 03:51:08,364
infrastructure at this moment

7705
03:51:08,364 --> 03:51:09,300
when residents are being

7706
03:51:09,300 --> 03:51:12,630
squeezed by the cost of car

7707
03:51:13,468 --> 03:51:14,690
ownership and high gas prices

7708
03:51:14,690 --> 03:51:14,704
sends the message that

7709
03:51:14,704 --> 03:51:15,371
the city's transportation

7710
03:51:15,371 --> 03:51:18,971
network is for those who can

7711
03:51:20,243 --> 03:51:20,610
afford to drive and not for

7712
03:51:20,610 --> 03:51:21,310
everyone.

7713
03:51:21,310 --> 03:51:22,110
I also support the River Park

7714
03:51:22,110 --> 03:51:25,110
Foundation's push for the West

7715
03:51:25,982 --> 03:51:26,616
Valley River crossing.

7716
03:51:26,616 --> 03:51:27,317
I recently cycled across

7717
03:51:27,317 --> 03:51:30,317
the river on Marina Boulevard

7718
03:51:31,988 --> 03:51:32,722
and cars whizzed by me and cut

7719
03:51:32,722 --> 03:51:33,156
me off as they accelerated onto

7720
03:51:33,156 --> 03:51:35,156
highway ramps.

7721
03:51:38,428 --> 03:51:38,861
The crossing would transform

7722
03:51:38,861 --> 03:51:39,596
the situation.

7723
03:51:39,596 --> 03:51:40,263
It would also be a recreational

7724
03:51:40,263 --> 03:51:43,263
asset allowing San Diego to

7725
03:51:44,634 --> 03:51:44,967
enjoy the river's natural

7726
03:51:44,967 --> 03:51:45,401
beauty.

7727
03:51:45,401 --> 03:51:45,767
>> Thank you.

7728
03:51:45,767 --> 03:51:46,268
Thank you.

7729
03:51:46,268 --> 03:51:48,268
Akeelah Templeton.

7730
03:51:50,973 --> 03:51:51,473
I They attempted to you by

7731
03:51:51,473 --> 03:51:51,841
Marshall Anderson.

7732
03:51:51,841 --> 03:51:52,441
Thank you.

7733
03:51:52,441 --> 03:51:52,908
You'll have two minutes.

7734
03:51:52,908 --> 03:51:53,275
Please proceed.

7735
03:51:53,275 --> 03:51:53,643
Thank you.

7736
03:51:53,643 --> 03:51:55,643
Thank you.

7737
03:51:57,780 --> 03:51:58,313
Council PRESIDENT And members

7738
03:51:58,313 --> 03:51:58,915
of the City Council.

7739
03:51:58,915 --> 03:51:59,581
Afternoon, Mayor Gauna.

7740
03:51:59,581 --> 03:52:02,551
My name is Akeelah Templeton

7741
03:52:02,551 --> 03:52:03,252
and I serve as the ceo of

7742
03:52:03,252 --> 03:52:06,252
Veterans Village of San Diego.

7743
03:52:07,957 --> 03:52:08,625
As you all can imagine,

7744
03:52:08,625 --> 03:52:09,325
the initial budget proposal

7745
03:52:09,325 --> 03:52:11,325
generated significant concern

7746
03:52:14,290 --> 03:52:14,731
among our unhoused veteran

7747
03:52:14,731 --> 03:52:15,230
clients their families and of

7748
03:52:15,230 --> 03:52:17,230
course our staff.

7749
03:52:20,103 --> 03:52:20,803
Many fear displacement of

7750
03:52:20,803 --> 03:52:21,504
the veterans who are currently

7751
03:52:21,504 --> 03:52:25,104
residing on our campus to make

7752
03:52:26,475 --> 03:52:26,809
room for a new opioid treatment

7753
03:52:26,809 --> 03:52:28,809
program.

7754
03:52:31,313 --> 03:52:31,981
So today I'm here to first

7755
03:52:31,981 --> 03:52:32,649
thank the San Diego Housing

7756
03:52:32,649 --> 03:52:35,490
Commission for updating its

7757
03:52:37,687 --> 03:52:38,388
budget priority memorandum to

7758
03:52:38,388 --> 03:52:39,890
clarify that a site for these

7759
03:52:39,890 --> 03:52:42,890
treatment beds have not yet

7760
03:52:43,326 --> 03:52:43,993
been determined.

7761
03:52:43,993 --> 03:52:46,993
I'd also like to thank

7762
03:52:49,299 --> 03:52:49,999
the independent budget analyst

7763
03:52:49,999 --> 03:52:50,600
for noting in the budget

7764
03:52:50,600 --> 03:52:51,301
modification report that

7765
03:52:51,301 --> 03:52:54,301
Veterans Village of San Diego

7766
03:52:55,304 --> 03:52:55,739
is no longer being

7767
03:52:55,739 --> 03:52:56,406
contemplated.

7768
03:52:56,406 --> 03:52:59,406
And then lastly because bfd

7769
03:53:01,411 --> 03:53:02,111
remains referenced in

7770
03:53:02,111 --> 03:53:02,846
the mayor's revised budget, I

7771
03:53:02,846 --> 03:53:05,246
would respectfully request that

7772
03:53:07,484 --> 03:53:08,184
today's action clearly reflect

7773
03:53:08,184 --> 03:53:11,184
the understanding that no site

7774
03:53:13,890 --> 03:53:13,757
has been selected and that

7775
03:53:13,757 --> 03:53:14,390
the veterans village of San

7776
03:53:14,390 --> 03:53:17,390
Diego campus is not being

7777
03:53:19,228 --> 03:53:20,290
considered for this proposal.

7778
03:53:20,290 --> 03:53:20,697
>> Thank you all for your time

7779
03:53:20,697 --> 03:53:23,697
and have a great afternoon.

7780
03:53:24,868 --> 03:53:25,368
Thank you.

7781
03:53:25,368 --> 03:53:25,735
Dan Goodman.

7782
03:53:25,735 --> 03:53:27,735
That's me.

7783
03:53:30,807 --> 03:53:31,341
Sorry Nature called.

7784
03:53:31,341 --> 03:53:31,942
>> Please proceed.

7785
03:53:31,942 --> 03:53:32,275
Good afternoon, Council

7786
03:53:32,275 --> 03:53:32,875
members.

7787
03:53:32,875 --> 03:53:35,875
My name is Dan Goodman.

7788
03:53:38,181 --> 03:53:38,849
I'm a local videographer and a

7789
03:53:38,849 --> 03:53:39,649
stage name but I with 1.2

7790
03:53:39,649 --> 03:53:42,649
people visit San Diego for

7791
03:53:43,119 --> 03:53:43,820
the beaches and the weather.

7792
03:53:43,820 --> 03:53:47,420
But what makes them stay and

7793
03:53:48,258 --> 03:53:48,959
come back is and build a life

7794
03:53:48,959 --> 03:53:49,425
here is the culture that we

7795
03:53:49,425 --> 03:53:49,993
create together.

7796
03:53:49,993 --> 03:53:52,393
It's in the theaters.

7797
03:53:55,399 --> 03:53:55,966
It's in the music, it's in

7798
03:53:55,966 --> 03:53:56,632
the conventions and in

7799
03:53:56,632 --> 03:53:59,632
the festivals that bring our

7800
03:54:00,504 --> 03:54:01,171
neighborhoods to life.

7801
03:54:01,171 --> 03:54:01,905
As someone who works behind

7802
03:54:01,905 --> 03:54:02,572
the scenes, I can tell you that

7803
03:54:02,572 --> 03:54:03,240
every performance represents

7804
03:54:03,240 --> 03:54:06,240
hundreds of hours worked by

7805
03:54:10,179 --> 03:54:10,881
local people here workers,

7806
03:54:10,881 --> 03:54:11,615
artists, technicians and small

7807
03:54:11,615 --> 03:54:14,150
businesses throughout our city.

7808
03:54:15,886 --> 03:54:16,520
>> This funding isn't just an

7809
03:54:16,520 --> 03:54:17,154
investment in the arts it

7810
03:54:17,154 --> 03:54:17,521
investment in San Diego's

7811
03:54:17,521 --> 03:54:19,521
identity.

7812
03:54:21,992 --> 03:54:22,826
Our economy and our community.

7813
03:54:22,826 --> 03:54:23,460
I appreciate the leadership and

7814
03:54:23,460 --> 03:54:25,860
the collaboration that has

7815
03:54:27,931 --> 03:54:28,698
brought this proposal forward

7816
03:54:28,698 --> 03:54:28,999
and I urge you guys to support

7817
03:54:28,999 --> 03:54:29,366
this.

7818
03:54:29,366 --> 03:54:31,366
Thank you.

7819
03:54:37,740 --> 03:54:37,441
Thank you, Jim Whalen Good

7820
03:54:37,441 --> 03:54:38,410
afternoon.

7821
03:54:38,410 --> 03:54:40,410
Council PRESIDENT Carver

7822
03:54:43,180 --> 03:54:43,747
Members of the commission on

7823
03:54:43,747 --> 03:54:44,348
the Commission not on

7824
03:54:44,348 --> 03:54:46,748
the Commission any more.

7825
03:54:48,519 --> 03:54:49,186
City Council in America I am

7826
03:54:49,186 --> 03:54:49,887
here in my personal capacity

7827
03:54:49,887 --> 03:54:53,487
because this is real life and

7828
03:54:54,158 --> 03:54:54,825
it's important while the budget

7829
03:54:54,825 --> 03:54:55,559
is important all around I'm

7830
03:54:55,559 --> 03:54:59,759
here for the arts and with some

7831
03:55:01,365 --> 03:55:02,990
concern on block I want to

7832
03:55:02,990 --> 03:55:02,833
thank Tony Reyes by the way for

7833
03:55:02,833 --> 03:55:03,500
consistently highlighting these

7834
03:55:03,500 --> 03:55:06,470
issues and forcing me to pay

7835
03:55:06,470 --> 03:55:07,338
attention better.

7836
03:55:07,338 --> 03:55:08,500
I like what I'm hearing about

7837
03:55:08,500 --> 03:55:08,706
restoring the arts funding.

7838
03:55:08,706 --> 03:55:12,306
That's great and I would like

7839
03:55:12,443 --> 03:55:13,143
to get it back 200%.

7840
03:55:13,143 --> 03:55:13,444
Block, however, is a different

7841
03:55:13,444 --> 03:55:14,211
story.

7842
03:55:14,211 --> 03:55:17,211
Both sides have valid points

7843
03:55:18,249 --> 03:55:19,830
here.

7844
03:55:19,830 --> 03:55:19,417
It is a force multiplier

7845
03:55:19,417 --> 03:55:20,117
indeed.

7846
03:55:20,117 --> 03:55:23,717
But it also gives me concerns

7847
03:55:24,540 --> 03:55:24,521
about empowering police and

7848
03:55:24,521 --> 03:55:25,189
accountability.

7849
03:55:25,189 --> 03:55:25,890
There have been already some

7850
03:55:25,890 --> 03:55:28,290
bad false identifications not

7851
03:55:31,610 --> 03:55:31,362
to mention the easy misuse of

7852
03:55:31,362 --> 03:55:32,129
data.

7853
03:55:32,129 --> 03:55:33,960
That said, there is a value to

7854
03:55:33,960 --> 03:55:37,296
floc and if we are going to

7855
03:55:37,434 --> 03:55:38,168
fund any of it at least why

7856
03:55:38,168 --> 03:55:38,869
don't we use it where it should

7857
03:55:38,869 --> 03:55:40,370
be targeted for being needed?

7858
03:55:40,370 --> 03:55:43,370
Thank you for your attention.

7859
03:55:45,675 --> 03:55:48,675
>> Thank you for raising it.

7860
03:55:51,649 --> 03:55:52,349
Our city needs a new vision

7861
03:55:52,349 --> 03:55:52,750
that fosters all components of

7862
03:55:52,750 --> 03:55:54,750
our budget.

7863
03:55:57,555 --> 03:55:58,256
Your public all of you are at

7864
03:55:58,256 --> 03:56:01,856
the very top of our city's

7865
03:56:03,600 --> 03:56:03,861
organization chart.

7866
03:56:03,861 --> 03:56:04,695
Our city has a structural

7867
03:56:04,695 --> 03:56:08,295
budget deficit for our city to

7868
03:56:10,670 --> 03:56:10,768
become the great city we strive

7869
03:56:10,768 --> 03:56:14,368
for so we can all thrive.

7870
03:56:15,940 --> 03:56:16,273
We need a new vision a noble

7871
03:56:16,273 --> 03:56:16,741
vision.

7872
03:56:16,741 --> 03:56:18,741
A noble vision.

7873
03:56:22,790 --> 03:56:22,512
Dear public special shout out

7874
03:56:22,512 --> 03:56:23,180
to our mayor.

7875
03:56:23,180 --> 03:56:23,481
What vision would you fight

7876
03:56:23,481 --> 03:56:25,481
for?

7877
03:56:27,884 --> 03:56:28,486
What are we fighting for?

7878
03:56:28,486 --> 03:56:30,886
Do we really know?

7879
03:56:33,524 --> 03:56:34,158
In my opinion a new vision is

7880
03:56:34,158 --> 03:56:37,158
the kickstart we need for

7881
03:56:39,530 --> 03:56:40,970
the boldness We need and to

7882
03:56:40,970 --> 03:56:40,731
unravel and solve our

7883
03:56:40,731 --> 03:56:42,731
structural budget deficit.

7884
03:56:46,204 --> 03:56:47,380
Thank you for listening.

7885
03:56:47,380 --> 03:56:47,471
It's great to be here with all

7886
03:56:47,471 --> 03:56:49,471
of you today.

7887
03:56:49,807 --> 03:56:50,575
Love to all Nicole Murray

7888
03:56:50,575 --> 03:56:53,575
rumors we can please come

7889
03:56:55,780 --> 03:56:57,780
forward.

7890
03:57:02,987 --> 03:57:03,754
Good afternoon Wealth.

7891
03:57:03,754 --> 03:57:04,489
Today I'm speaking to you at

7892
03:57:04,489 --> 03:57:07,190
the chair of the San Diego jail

7893
03:57:07,190 --> 03:57:07,991
Betty Hastert Task Force.

7894
03:57:07,991 --> 03:57:08,592
We support funding for the San

7895
03:57:08,592 --> 03:57:10,592
Diego Police Department,

7896
03:57:13,665 --> 03:57:14,499
especially funding for hpr.

7897
03:57:14,499 --> 03:57:15,133
For us and the lgbt community

7898
03:57:15,133 --> 03:57:17,533
it's not about technology.

7899
03:57:19,938 --> 03:57:20,638
It's about safety, about

7900
03:57:20,638 --> 03:57:21,372
results and a proven record of

7901
03:57:21,372 --> 03:57:21,706
stopping crime, especially hate

7902
03:57:21,706 --> 03:57:23,706
crimes.

7903
03:57:24,976 --> 03:57:25,677
Help your help investigators

7904
03:57:25,677 --> 03:57:26,344
identify and arrest criminals

7905
03:57:26,344 --> 03:57:29,944
who have been driving by gay

7906
03:57:31,649 --> 03:57:32,283
nightclubs and shooting at

7907
03:57:32,283 --> 03:57:32,950
these establishments with

7908
03:57:32,950 --> 03:57:35,950
pellet guns not only causing

7909
03:57:37,588 --> 03:57:38,289
serious physical harm but

7910
03:57:38,289 --> 03:57:38,890
creating fear and hate when

7911
03:57:38,890 --> 03:57:39,457
criminals spray painted

7912
03:57:39,457 --> 03:57:41,457
swastikas and hateful

7913
03:57:44,129 --> 03:57:44,729
homophobic slurs in Hillcrest.

7914
03:57:44,729 --> 03:57:45,163
Alper also helped catch

7915
03:57:45,163 --> 03:57:47,163
the criminals.

7916
03:57:50,668 --> 03:57:51,200
The bottom line is this tool is

7917
03:57:51,200 --> 03:57:51,703
working.

7918
03:57:51,703 --> 03:57:52,370
It allows crime, protects our

7919
03:57:52,370 --> 03:57:54,770
communities and makes better

7920
03:57:55,739 --> 03:57:56,107
use of limited police

7921
03:57:56,107 --> 03:57:56,908
resources.

7922
03:57:56,908 --> 03:58:01,708
As a senior I can also tell you

7923
03:58:02,380 --> 03:58:02,814
it makes us also feel safer in

7924
03:58:02,814 --> 03:58:03,515
our community.

7925
03:58:03,515 --> 03:58:03,882
Thank you for that concluding

7926
03:58:03,882 --> 03:58:04,516
sentence.

7927
03:58:04,516 --> 03:58:05,830
Barry Edelstein if you can

7928
03:58:05,830 --> 03:58:07,483
please come forward to

7929
03:58:08,820 --> 03:58:09,587
the microphone.

7930
03:58:09,587 --> 03:58:10,221
And then if I can have

7931
03:58:10,221 --> 03:58:10,789
the following individuals

7932
03:58:10,789 --> 03:58:11,423
please come forward to

7933
03:58:11,423 --> 03:58:13,823
the other reserved seats.

7934
03:58:15,930 --> 03:58:15,593
Marshall Veteran Larry Webb.

7935
03:58:15,593 --> 03:58:17,593
Janie Emerson.

7936
03:58:20,465 --> 03:58:20,899
Catherine Douglas Baer Wolfe.

7937
03:58:20,899 --> 03:58:22,899
Nicole Lilly.

7938
03:58:26,771 --> 03:58:27,639
Kevin Vino.

7939
03:58:27,639 --> 03:58:28,273
And coming up you if you can

7940
03:58:28,273 --> 03:58:28,707
all please come forward to

7941
03:58:28,707 --> 03:58:30,707
the first row.

7942
03:58:31,776 --> 03:58:32,310
Barry, you have time ceded to

7943
03:58:32,310 --> 03:58:32,677
you by James Lawson.

7944
03:58:32,677 --> 03:58:34,677
Thank you.

7945
03:58:37,550 --> 03:58:38,116
Peter Comiskey Oh, sorry No,

7946
03:58:38,116 --> 03:58:38,649
just by James Lawson.

7947
03:58:38,649 --> 03:58:40,649
They got connected.

7948
03:58:43,522 --> 03:58:44,560
You have two minutes.

7949
03:58:44,560 --> 03:58:44,389
>> Please proceed.

7950
03:58:44,389 --> 03:58:44,990
Thanks.

7951
03:58:44,990 --> 03:58:45,323
Good afternoon, Council

7952
03:58:45,323 --> 03:58:45,924
members.

7953
03:58:45,924 --> 03:58:48,324
I'm Barry Edelstein with

7954
03:58:48,693 --> 03:58:49,628
the old Globe.

7955
03:58:49,628 --> 03:58:50,950
I'm here to urge you to vote

7956
03:58:50,950 --> 03:58:50,795
for this budget.

7957
03:58:50,795 --> 03:58:54,395
This has been a tough process

7958
03:58:55,367 --> 03:58:56,330
and the conversations we've all

7959
03:58:56,330 --> 03:58:56,768
been having have been hard.

7960
03:58:56,768 --> 03:59:00,368
But on behalf of a constituency

7961
03:59:00,606 --> 03:59:01,372
of a quarter million people

7962
03:59:01,372 --> 03:59:04,372
served by the Old Globe, 30,000

7963
03:59:05,344 --> 03:59:06,440
of them served for free and on

7964
03:59:06,440 --> 03:59:06,711
behalf of nearly 1200 full and

7965
03:59:06,711 --> 03:59:07,212
part time employees many of

7966
03:59:07,212 --> 03:59:09,212
them union labor.

7967
03:59:11,315 --> 03:59:11,783
I want to thank you all for

7968
03:59:11,783 --> 03:59:12,517
your hard work.

7969
03:59:12,517 --> 03:59:13,251
We're grateful in particular to

7970
03:59:13,251 --> 03:59:15,251
Councilmember Lee Councilmember

7971
03:59:16,555 --> 03:59:17,155
Foster for their innovative

7972
03:59:17,155 --> 03:59:17,689
approach to solving this

7973
03:59:17,689 --> 03:59:18,390
problem and also to

7974
03:59:18,390 --> 03:59:18,956
the partnership of the county

7975
03:59:18,956 --> 03:59:21,356
and the great private

7976
03:59:23,295 --> 03:59:23,729
foundation for their visionary

7977
03:59:23,729 --> 03:59:24,429
participation.

7978
03:59:24,429 --> 03:59:25,130
But you know, I want to thank

7979
03:59:25,130 --> 03:59:28,130
the entire council because we

7980
03:59:28,967 --> 03:59:29,635
know those of us in the arts

7981
03:59:29,635 --> 03:59:30,302
sector that all nine council

7982
03:59:30,302 --> 03:59:30,902
members have expressed their

7983
03:59:30,902 --> 03:59:33,902
support for the arts and

7984
03:59:34,506 --> 03:59:35,407
culture in our city.

7985
03:59:35,407 --> 03:59:35,974
We see that we recognize it and

7986
03:59:35,974 --> 03:59:36,675
we're grateful for it.

7987
03:59:36,675 --> 03:59:39,675
What's happened over this past

7988
03:59:40,212 --> 03:59:40,779
month is that our sector has

7989
03:59:40,779 --> 03:59:41,447
really come together.

7990
03:59:41,447 --> 03:59:45,470
It has expressed a sense of

7991
03:59:45,918 --> 03:59:46,685
solidarity that I have not seen

7992
03:59:46,685 --> 03:59:47,119
in the 14 years that I've been

7993
03:59:47,119 --> 03:59:47,886
in San Diego.

7994
03:59:47,886 --> 03:59:48,654
I moved here from New York City

7995
03:59:48,654 --> 03:59:51,654
where there is a very

7996
03:59:52,658 --> 03:59:53,325
sophisticated approach to

7997
03:59:53,325 --> 03:59:54,590
public funding for the arts.

7998
03:59:54,590 --> 03:59:54,460
We have a lot to learn from

7999
03:59:54,460 --> 03:59:56,460
that place.

8000
03:59:58,497 --> 03:59:59,198
When I came here I knew that my

8001
03:59:59,198 --> 03:59:59,898
life was going to be enhanced.

8002
03:59:59,898 --> 04:00:00,766
I look back on 14 years and I

8003
04:00:00,766 --> 04:00:04,366
see that I've been living an

8004
04:00:04,369 --> 04:00:04,737
extraordinary eerily blessed

8005
04:00:04,737 --> 04:00:05,337
existence.

8006
04:00:05,337 --> 04:00:06,380
To be the head of one of

8007
04:00:06,380 --> 04:00:08,438
the greatest arts institutions

8008
04:00:09,908 --> 04:00:10,643
in the country when I look at

8009
04:00:10,643 --> 04:00:11,310
the hard work that this council

8010
04:00:11,310 --> 04:00:11,977
is doing, the hard work that

8011
04:00:11,977 --> 04:00:15,577
the city is doing to really

8012
04:00:15,948 --> 04:00:16,682
express its understanding of

8013
04:00:16,682 --> 04:00:17,349
what the arts can contribute to

8014
04:00:17,349 --> 04:00:18,117
the quality of life of every

8015
04:00:18,117 --> 04:00:21,887
San Diego And it makes me want

8016
04:00:21,887 --> 04:00:22,587
to redouble my efforts to find

8017
04:00:22,587 --> 04:00:23,289
a really permanent solution a

8018
04:00:23,289 --> 04:00:26,289
stable solution that the city

8019
04:00:28,160 --> 04:00:29,280
can boast about And we can go

8020
04:00:29,280 --> 04:00:29,728
to New York and say we know how

8021
04:00:29,728 --> 04:00:30,429
to fund the arts in a way that

8022
04:00:30,429 --> 04:00:30,696
you guys haven't even dreamed

8023
04:00:30,696 --> 04:00:32,696
of.

8024
04:00:33,766 --> 04:00:34,632
So I look forward to working

8025
04:00:34,632 --> 04:00:35,367
with all of you and to you to

8026
04:00:35,367 --> 04:00:36,680
MR. Mayor, on a solution that's

8027
04:00:36,680 --> 04:00:39,668
going to make San Diego proud.

8028
04:00:39,738 --> 04:00:40,406
Thanks again for your support.

8029
04:00:40,406 --> 04:00:40,773
>> Let's please move forward

8030
04:00:40,773 --> 04:00:41,106

Thank you.

8033
04:00:45,945 --> 04:00:46,679
And as noted, I had some paper

8034
04:00:46,679 --> 04:00:47,312

8035
04:00:47,312 --> 04:00:47,980

8043
04:01:00,325 --> 04:01:02,325
>> Here's what's next.

8044
04:01:04,964 --> 04:01:05,797
It was just a papercut.

8045
04:01:05,797 --> 04:01:06,431

to the highest possible level

8078
04:01:58,751 --> 04:02:01,151
flagged by Council PRESIDENT

Pro Tenley to ensure that we

8080
04:02:03,489 --> 04:02:06,489
have no longer an ongoing

8081
04:02:08,494 --> 04:02:08,995
battle that impacts arts and

8082
04:02:08,995 --> 04:02:09,562

That was Martin.

8086
04:02:14,567 --> 04:02:16,567
>> Hello.

8087
04:02:19,500 --> 04:02:19,606
My name is George Munoz and I

8088
04:02:19,606 --> 04:02:20,306
am speaking on behalf of

8089
04:02:20,306 --> 04:02:21,700
the Chicano Federation and in

8090
04:02:21,700 --> 04:02:23,407
solidarity with the Community

8091
04:02:24,760 --> 04:02:24,711
Budget Alliance.

8092
04:02:24,711 --> 04:02:25,311
The contradictions in this

8093
04:02:25,311 --> 04:02:25,645
budget are impossible to

8094
04:02:25,645 --> 04:02:27,645
ignore.

8095
04:02:29,549 --> 04:02:30,249
Somehow there's always more

8096
04:02:30,249 --> 04:02:30,850
money for criminalization and

8097
04:02:30,850 --> 04:02:31,551
surveillance but not for

8098
04:02:31,551 --> 04:02:34,551
investing in youth and working

8099
04:02:35,421 --> 04:02:36,560

historically disadvantaged

8101
04:02:36,456 --> 04:02:37,900
communities.

8102
04:02:37,900 --> 04:02:40,900
Passing a budget that only

8103
04:02:40,727 --> 04:02:41,294
allocates the bare minimum for

8104
04:02:41,294 --> 04:02:41,928
youth, public spaces,

8105
04:02:41,928 --> 04:02:42,662
environmental justice and

8106
04:02:42,662 --> 04:02:45,662
housing protections is not fair

8107
04:02:46,399 --> 04:02:46,966
for us.

8108
04:02:46,966 --> 04:02:47,633
It's not fair for

8109
04:02:47,633 --> 04:02:48,301
the marginalized community.

communities as much as you say

8115
04:02:57,944 --> 04:02:58,545
you do then cancel flock and

8116
04:02:58,545 --> 04:03:00,945
allocate more funds for

8117
04:03:03,149 --> 04:03:03,850
libraries, parks, stormwater

8118

04:03:29,576 --> 04:03:30,243
And I've heard everybody here

8133
04:03:30,243 --> 04:03:30,944
because I've been here many

8134
04:03:30,944 --> 04:03:33,944
times that safety is important

8135
04:03:35,181 --> 04:03:35,949
right?

8136
04:03:35,949 --> 04:03:36,582
Safety is important no matter

8137
04:03:36,582 --> 04:03:38,982
what community we're from.

8138
04:03:40,587 --> 04:03:41,288
So my community of Neighborhood

8139
04:03:41,288 --> 04:03:44,288
Watch watches urges you today

8140
04:03:46,259 --> 04:03:46,660
to support the l p r

8141
04:03:46,660 --> 04:03:47,260
technology.

8142
04:03:47,260 --> 04:03:50,260
And a good example is

8143
04:03:51,498 --> 04:03:52,299
the recent kidnaping of

8144
04:03:52,299 --> 04:03:52,966
the woman who was taken by her

8145
04:03:52,966 --> 04:03:53,232
ex-boyfriend and shoved in a

8146
04:03:53,232 --> 04:03:55,232
car.

8147
04:03:57,436 --> 04:03:58,105
And the way they found her was

8148
04:03:58,105 --> 04:03:58,605
through the al pr These are

8149
04:03:58,605 --> 04:04:00,605
real life people.

8150
04:04:02,676 --> 04:04:03,410
And I wish it wasn't such a

8151
04:04:03,410 --> 04:04:06,410
hard decision but we're talking

8152
04:04:07,414 --> 04:04:08,480
about safety safety and your

8153
04:04:08,480 --> 04:04:08,682
community Safety and mine.

8154
04:04:08,682 --> 04:04:11,682
And cutting the San Diego

8155
04:04:13,219 --> 04:04:13,887
police budget and removing a

8156
04:04:13,887 --> 04:04:14,621
tool to help solve crimes in

8157
04:04:14,621 --> 04:04:18,221
each one of our communities is

8158
04:04:18,291 --> 04:04:18,692
really an effort to defund

8159
04:04:18,692 --> 04:04:19,326
the police.

8160
04:04:19,326 --> 04:04:19,626
That's what we're talking

8161
04:04:19,626 --> 04:04:21,626
about.

8162
04:04:23,796 --> 04:04:24,431
And that's great for all

8163
04:04:24,431 --> 04:04:24,832
the people who don't like

8164
04:04:24,832 --> 04:04:26,832
the police.

8165
04:04:28,769 --> 04:04:29,536
But police cannot be judged as

8166
04:04:29,536 --> 04:04:30,236
a general group You have to

8167
04:04:30,236 --> 04:04:30,737
look at them, their people and

8168
04:04:30,737 --> 04:04:32,737
their individuals.

8169
04:04:35,242 --> 04:04:35,876
The if you do cut out these

8170
04:04:35,876 --> 04:04:38,876
tools and continue to put

8171
04:04:40,180 --> 04:04:43,180
the pressure on them, it's

8172
04:04:44,917 --> 04:04:45,686
going to decrease morale and

8173
04:04:45,686 --> 04:04:46,386
they're not going to be able to

8174
04:04:46,386 --> 04:04:49,986
solve crimes as fast as they

8175
04:04:50,257 --> 04:04:51,240
have been with the El Paso.

8176
04:04:51,240 --> 04:04:51,725
Please make your decision with

8177
04:04:51,725 --> 04:04:55,325
an open mind and not prejudice

8178
04:04:56,497 --> 04:04:56,796
And I really appreciate your

8179
04:04:56,796 --> 04:04:57,231
time.

8180
04:04:57,231 --> 04:04:57,965
>> Thank you.

8181
04:04:57,965 --> 04:04:59,337
Larry Webb, if you can please

8182
04:04:59,337 --> 04:05:02,337
come forward and remember your

8183
04:05:05,172 --> 04:05:05,839
time to by Nikki Zimmerman

8184
04:05:05,839 --> 04:05:06,206
Sorry, I just wanted to say

8185
04:05:06,206 --> 04:05:06,573
thank you.

8186
04:05:06,573 --> 04:05:08,573
Thank you.

8187
04:05:10,311 --> 04:05:11,110
Councilmember Lori Webb,

8188
04:05:11,110 --> 04:05:11,378
founding member of the Coastal

8189
04:05:11,378 --> 04:05:13,378
Coalition.

8190
04:05:15,749 --> 04:05:16,450
We strongly oppose defunding

8191
04:05:16,450 --> 04:05:17,170
Diego Police Department to be

8192
04:05:17,170 --> 04:05:19,417
clear, failing to fund

8193
04:05:20,888 --> 04:05:21,422
the continued use of officers

8194
04:05:21,422 --> 04:05:22,156
effectively reduces

8195
04:05:22,156 --> 04:05:24,556
department's ability to protect

8196
04:05:26,627 --> 04:05:27,193
the public.

8197
04:05:27,193 --> 04:05:27,795
Government's foremost

8198
04:05:27,795 --> 04:05:28,128
responsibility is public

8199
04:05:28,128 --> 04:05:30,128
safety.

8200
04:05:32,266 --> 04:05:32,800
There is no dispute that our

8201
04:05:32,800 --> 04:05:33,433
police department is

8202
04:05:33,433 --> 04:05:35,433
understaffed eliminating a

8203
04:05:36,670 --> 04:05:37,338
proven force multiplier

8204
04:05:37,338 --> 04:05:37,972
multiplier will only worsen

8205
04:05:37,972 --> 04:05:40,372
the challenges created by

8206
04:05:42,977 --> 04:05:43,644
the current officers shortage.

8207
04:05:43,644 --> 04:05:46,644
While our technology is not

8208
04:05:46,847 --> 04:05:47,448
perfect, it remains one of

8209
04:05:47,448 --> 04:05:48,480
the most effective tools

8210
04:05:48,480 --> 04:05:48,582
available until a better

8211
04:05:48,582 --> 04:05:50,582
alternative exists.

8212
04:05:52,219 --> 04:05:52,952
So it has funded hundreds of

8213
04:05:52,952 --> 04:05:55,352
additional officers that should

8214
04:05:56,123 --> 04:05:56,724
continue to be supported

8215
04:05:56,724 --> 04:05:57,391
cutting 40% of the beach

8216
04:05:57,391 --> 04:05:59,391
maintenance positions from

8217
04:06:02,129 --> 04:06:02,797
the parks and Rec budget MAY

8218
04:06:02,797 --> 04:06:04,797
have significant unintended

8219
04:06:07,670 --> 04:06:07,835
consequences.

8220
04:06:07,835 --> 04:06:08,502
This team is responsible for

8221
04:06:08,502 --> 04:06:10,502
constructing the protective

8222
04:06:12,406 --> 04:06:13,107
berms around Mission Bay each

8223
04:06:13,107 --> 04:06:13,808
winter with a 40% reduction in

8224
04:06:13,808 --> 04:06:16,208
staffing, the department will

8225
04:06:17,110 --> 04:06:17,611
be unable to perform this

8226
04:06:17,611 --> 04:06:18,211
critical work increasing

8227
04:06:18,211 --> 04:06:21,211
the risk of flooding for

8228
04:06:22,249 --> 04:06:22,916
hundreds of homes.

8229
04:06:22,916 --> 04:06:23,618
Such pouring flooding could

8230
04:06:23,618 --> 04:06:26,618
expose the city to substantial

8231
04:06:27,388 --> 04:06:28,122
liability and result

8232
04:06:28,122 --> 04:06:30,522
potentially millions of dollars

8233
04:06:32,993 --> 04:06:33,728
for property damage claims in

8234
04:06:33,728 --> 04:06:34,428
addition, San Diego beaches are

8235
04:06:34,428 --> 04:06:37,428
among the city's most valuable

8236
04:06:38,232 --> 04:06:38,966
assets and a primary attraction

8237
04:06:38,966 --> 04:06:39,533
for visitors Maintaining clean

8238
04:06:39,533 --> 04:06:41,933
well capped beaches is

8239
04:06:43,604 --> 04:06:44,205
essential to preserving

8240
04:06:44,205 --> 04:06:44,739
the visitor experience.

8241
04:06:44,739 --> 04:06:45,406
The decline in beach

8242
04:06:45,406 --> 04:06:47,406
maintenance could negatively

8243
04:06:48,576 --> 04:06:49,210
impact tourism resulting in a

8244
04:06:49,210 --> 04:06:49,577
drop in European sales tax

8245
04:06:49,577 --> 04:06:51,577
revenues.

8246
04:06:54,382 --> 04:06:55,820
We all recognize that certain

8247
04:06:55,820 --> 04:06:55,750
items in our personal budgets

8248
04:06:55,750 --> 04:06:56,149
are necessities such as food

8249
04:06:56,149 --> 04:06:58,149
and shelter.

8250
04:06:58,719 --> 04:06:59,454
We fund those needs before

8251
04:06:59,454 --> 04:07:01,854
spending on discretionary items

8252
04:07:03,925 --> 04:07:04,492
government funding budgets

8253
04:07:04,492 --> 04:07:05,192
should follow the same

8254
04:07:05,192 --> 04:07:07,592
principle until public safety

8255
04:07:11,633 --> 04:07:12,233
and long term interests such as

8256
04:07:12,233 --> 04:07:12,833
these are fully funded.

8257
04:07:12,833 --> 04:07:13,434

8258
04:07:13,434 --> 04:07:14,168

04:07:19,700 --> 04:07:21,700
afternoon Council.

8262
04:07:22,677 --> 04:07:22,944
>> Safety is priority number

8263
04:07:22,944 --> 04:07:23,678
one.

8264
04:07:23,678 --> 04:07:24,346
If we aren't safe in the city

8265
04:07:24,346 --> 04:07:27,946
then the rest of the budget

8266
04:07:27,949 --> 04:07:28,715
doesn't make any difference.

8267
04:07:28,715 --> 04:07:29,384
I know there's a big concern

8268
04:07:29,384 --> 04:07:31,784
about privacy relative to

8269
04:07:33,855 --> 04:07:34,355
the Alpers How many people here

8270
04:07:34,355 --> 04:07:35,189
have a smartphone?

8271
04:07:35,189 --> 04:07:38,326
How many people have a smart

8272
04:07:38,326 --> 04:07:39,930
watch?

8273
04:07:39,930 --> 04:07:39,761
>> How many people are on

8274
04:07:39,761 --> 04:07:42,761
social media, have an Alexis

8275
04:07:42,964 --> 04:07:43,665
device in their house, have a

8276
04:07:43,665 --> 04:07:46,665
ring doorbell or do other

8277
04:07:47,802 --> 04:07:48,135
things on Google and research

8278
04:07:48,135 --> 04:07:48,870
things.

8279
04:07:48,870 --> 04:07:53,700
I'm here to tell you that if

8280
04:07:53,408 --> 04:07:54,209
you do worldwide there's a

8281
04:07:54,209 --> 04:07:54,909
profile on you on all of your

8282
04:07:54,909 --> 04:07:57,309
preferences and everything you

8283
04:07:58,120 --> 04:07:58,880
want you have no privacy.

8284
04:07:58,880 --> 04:08:01,880
The Alpers simply read license

plates.

8286
04:08:03,985 --> 04:08:04,318
They save lives and solve

8287
04:08:04,318 --> 04:08:06,318
crimes.

8288
04:08:07,956 --> 04:08:08,657
Please continue to fund this

8289
04:08:08,657 --> 04:08:09,157
key element of our San Diego

8293
04:08:17,466 --> 04:08:17,998
can please come forward.

8294
04:08:17,998 --> 04:08:18,633
Good afternoon.

8295
04:08:18,633 --> 04:08:21,633
This council has a choice.

8296
04:08:22,871 --> 04:08:23,605
Are you going to look at our

8297
04:08:23,605 --> 04:08:24,339
communities in the face and say

8298
04:08:24,339 --> 04:08:27,742
you're willing to give up a

8299
04:08:27,742 --> 04:08:28,443
truly effective, accurate tool

8300
04:08:28,443 --> 04:08:31,813
that has proven time and time

8301
04:08:31,813 --> 04:08:32,380
again to accelerate the capture

8302
04:08:32,380 --> 04:08:33,810
of murderers, human

8303
04:08:33,810 --> 04:08:35,810
traffickers, robbers, burglars

8304
04:08:36,717 --> 04:08:37,352
hit and run drivers, fugitives,

8305
04:08:37,352 --> 04:08:37,918
kidnapers, perpetrators of

8306
04:08:37,918 --> 04:08:39,918
domestic violence and

8307
04:08:42,424 --> 04:08:42,756
perpetrators of other violent

8308
04:08:42,756 --> 04:08:43,391
crimes.

8309
04:08:43,391 --> 04:08:46,528
Or are you going to do

8310
04:08:46,528 --> 04:08:47,228
the right thing and fund this

8311
04:08:47,228 --> 04:08:47,796
game changing technology that

8312
04:08:47,796 --> 04:08:49,796
has provided critical

8313
04:08:51,967 --> 04:08:52,767
investigative leads that aid sd

8314
04:08:52,767 --> 04:08:56,367
pd in solving cases faster and

8315
04:08:57,500 --> 04:08:57,673
with greater accuracy?

8316
04:08:57,673 --> 04:08:59,673
Yelpers are investigative

8317
04:09:00,909 --> 04:09:01,643
accelerator and force

8318
04:09:01,643 --> 04:09:02,143
multiplier for our understaffed

8319
04:09:02,143 --> 04:09:04,143
police department.

8320
04:09:06,748 --> 04:09:07,349
They generate real time leads

8321

that result in far safer

8322
04:09:08,490 --> 04:09:10,449
communities The expectation of

8323
04:09:11,820 --> 04:09:12,654
privacy is moot.

8324
04:09:12,654 --> 04:09:16,158
We are all being tracked by our

8325
04:09:16,158 --> 04:09:16,858
smart phones, smart TVs, voice

8326
04:09:16,858 --> 04:09:18,858
assistants, security cameras,

8327
04:09:20,829 --> 04:09:21,296
laptops and wireless routers Do

8328
04:09:21,296 --> 04:09:22,300
the right thing.

8329
04:09:22,300 --> 04:09:25,630
Thank you for the next sentence

8330
04:09:26,268 --> 04:09:30,468
Bear Wolf I only have a minute

8331
04:09:31,340 --> 04:09:32,207
so I'll go quick.

8332
04:09:32,207 --> 04:09:32,741
First of all, thank you for all

8333
04:09:32,741 --> 04:09:33,442
of this opportunity.

8334
04:09:33,442 --> 04:09:36,345
Secondly, I come to you today

8335
04:09:36,345 --> 04:09:37,460
not to speak to you but to

8336
04:09:37,460 --> 04:09:37,579
speak to your humanity as a

8337
04:09:37,579 --> 04:09:39,579
college professor in

8338
04:09:41,116 --> 04:09:41,650
the humanities I can tell you

8339
04:09:41,650 --> 04:09:42,350
we teach at Miramar.

8340
04:09:42,350 --> 04:09:42,985
We teach the police, we teach

8341
04:09:42,985 --> 04:09:45,385
the fire firefighters and

8342
04:09:45,554 --> 04:09:46,255
without understanding what

8343
04:09:46,255 --> 04:09:49,255
humanity is they are useless.

8344
04:09:50,659 --> 04:09:51,327
And also when it comes to these

8345
04:09:51,327 --> 04:09:51,960
flight technology things of

8346
04:09:51,960 --> 04:09:54,960
this nature please do your

8347
04:09:55,231 --> 04:09:55,931
research and not Google

8348
04:09:55,931 --> 04:09:58,331
assistant but actual research.

8349
04:10:00,168 --> 04:10:00,769
Like I tell my students these

8350
04:10:00,769 --> 04:10:01,370
things do not work.

8351
04:10:01,370 --> 04:10:02,360
There are people getting

8352
04:10:02,360 --> 04:10:04,436
arrested because the facial

8353
04:10:04,673 --> 04:10:05,340
recognition is doing making

8354
04:10:05,340 --> 04:10:07,740
mistakes And please remember

8355
04:10:09,812 --> 04:10:10,312
that your daughter your son has

8356
04:10:10,312 --> 04:10:10,980
a favorite story.

8357
04:10:10,980 --> 04:10:11,813
You have a favorite song.

8358
04:10:11,813 --> 04:10:14,813
That song got you through

8359
04:10:15,490 --> 04:10:15,785
the worst breakup of your life.

8360
04:10:15,785 --> 04:10:19,288
These are the human things that

8361
04:10:19,288 --> 04:10:19,888
we need because that's what

8362
04:10:19,888 --> 04:10:20,556
defeats crime And all

8363
04:10:20,556 --> 04:10:21,256
the research shows that and

8364
04:10:21,256 --> 04:10:24,493
I'll leave you with this quote

8365
04:10:24,493 --> 04:10:25,227
from Dune which everyone here

8366
04:10:25,227 --> 04:10:25,928
knows about Once men turn their

8367
04:10:25,928 --> 04:10:28,928
thinking over to machines and

8368
04:10:28,997 --> 04:10:29,698
the hope that this world will

8369
04:10:29,698 --> 04:10:30,198
set them free, they are only

8370
04:10:30,198 --> 04:10:30,900
permit other men.

8371
04:10:30,900 --> 04:10:31,266
Thank you for that concluding

8372
04:10:31,266 --> 04:10:33,266
sentence.

8373
04:10:34,603 --> 04:10:38,803
Thank you Nicole Lilly And if I

8374
04:10:38,840 --> 04:10:39,542
can have Kevin Vino Corrina

8375
04:10:39,542 --> 04:10:41,942
Pugh, Christine Martinez, Bob

8376
04:10:43,679 --> 04:10:44,346
Lehman, Michael Werber and

8377
04:10:44,346 --> 04:10:46,746
Khalid Alexander Lucky Aiden

8378
04:10:47,683 --> 04:10:48,384
and Humaira Go Sophie please

8379
04:10:48,384 --> 04:10:48,851
come up to the front row.

8380
04:10:48,851 --> 04:10:49,585
Please proceed.

8381
04:10:49,585 --> 04:10:52,721
Hello, my name is Nicole Lilly.

8382
04:10:52,721 --> 04:10:53,222
I I'm a renter resident of

8383
04:10:53,222 --> 04:10:53,923
District three and

8384
04:10:53,923 --> 04:10:56,923
the executive director of our

8385
04:10:57,159 --> 04:10:57,827
Time to Act The investments you

8386
04:10:57,827 --> 04:10:58,494
make today have impacts far

8387
04:10:58,494 --> 04:10:59,280
beyond the next fiscal year.

8388
04:10:59,280 --> 04:11:01,280
We're done pleading.

8389
04:11:02,398 --> 04:11:03,990
We are demanding investments in

8390
04:11:03,990 --> 04:11:03,566
a future where all San Diego

8391
04:11:03,566 --> 04:11:04,500
ans can thrive.

8392
04:11:04,500 --> 04:11:07,403
Let me be clear that future is

8393
04:11:07,403 --> 04:11:08,103
free of free from surveillance.

8394
04:11:08,103 --> 04:11:08,804
It is free from bloated police

8395
04:11:08,804 --> 04:11:11,204
budgets and subsidies for

8396
04:11:12,474 --> 04:11:12,975
the wealthy that future invest

8397
04:11:12,975 --> 04:11:13,743
in the community.

8398
04:11:13,743 --> 04:11:17,343
It has a fully resourced office

8399
04:11:17,346 --> 04:11:17,980
of Child and youth success.

8400
04:11:17,980 --> 04:11:18,648
It prioritizes stormwater

8401
04:11:18,648 --> 04:11:19,315
infrastructure and housing.

8402
04:11:19,315 --> 04:11:22,517
It funds parks and arts and

8403
04:11:22,517 --> 04:11:23,152
create safe spaces for San

8404
04:11:23,152 --> 04:11:23,853
Diegans to thrive amongst

8405
04:11:23,853 --> 04:11:26,853
friends and family rather than

8406
04:11:27,423 --> 04:11:27,990
under invasive camera lenses

8407
04:11:27,990 --> 04:11:28,758
and abusive officers.

8408
04:11:28,758 --> 04:11:32,795
I am a organizer in San Diego.

8409
04:11:32,795 --> 04:11:33,529
I am a young person in San

8410
04:11:33,529 --> 04:11:34,330
Diego and I am telling you that

8411
04:11:34,330 --> 04:11:36,966
floc surveillance and any kind

8412
04:11:36,966 --> 04:11:37,666
of surveillance is harmful and

8413
04:11:37,666 --> 04:11:38,301
dangerous to our communities.

8414
04:11:38,301 --> 04:11:41,301
It does not create safety.

8415
04:11:41,737 --> 04:11:42,405
It is a proven failure of

8416
04:11:42,405 --> 04:11:44,805
technology and always having

8417
04:11:46,309 --> 04:11:47,750
smartphones and technology is

8418
04:11:47,750 --> 04:11:47,475
not a license to surveil our

8419
04:11:47,475 --> 04:11:49,475
communities.

8420
04:11:52,140 --> 04:11:52,715
>> Thank you, Kevin Wehner

8421
04:11:52,715 --> 04:11:56,180
Kevin, before you come up we

8422
04:11:56,180 --> 04:11:56,685
were doing really good but I

8423
04:11:56,685 --> 04:11:57,319
know that passion excitement

8424
04:11:57,319 --> 04:12:00,319
with people you agree and

8425
04:12:00,690 --> 04:12:01,124
disagree with is starting to

8426
04:12:01,124 --> 04:12:01,824
bubble up.

8427
04:12:01,824 --> 04:12:02,591
>> The professor that spoke I

8428
04:12:02,591 --> 04:12:05,428
didn't hear this last part of

8429
04:12:05,428 --> 04:12:06,129
his probably excellent comments

8430
04:12:06,129 --> 04:12:06,829
because people started getting

8431
04:12:06,829 --> 04:12:10,429
excited by what he was saying

8432
04:12:10,800 --> 04:12:11,534
Give everybody a chance whether

8433
04:12:11,534 --> 04:12:12,235
you like what they're saying or

8434
04:12:12,235 --> 04:12:14,937
don't like so that we can hear

8435
04:12:14,937 --> 04:12:15,837
them clearly They took a long

8436
04:12:15,837 --> 04:12:18,975
time to sit here and wait wait

8437
04:12:18,975 --> 04:12:19,542
patiently for their chance for

8438
04:12:19,542 --> 04:12:20,209
a 1 or 2 minutes.

8439
04:12:20,209 --> 04:12:23,209
So let's give everybody a

8440
04:12:23,246 --> 04:12:23,946
chance to speak and allow all

8441
04:12:23,946 --> 04:12:24,313
of us to hear them.

8442
04:12:24,313 --> 04:12:24,714
Go ahead.

8443
04:12:24,714 --> 04:12:26,714
Thank you.

8444
04:12:28,551 --> 04:12:29,252
Council members.

8445
04:12:29,252 --> 04:12:30,186
My name is Kevin.

8446
04:12:30,186 --> 04:12:33,786
I'm with our Times act Youth

8447
04:12:33,790 --> 04:12:34,524
led 51c3 nonprofit a resident

8448
04:12:34,524 --> 04:12:35,325
of District one and on the Wall

8449
04:12:35,325 --> 04:12:37,794
Community plan a group And I'm

8450
04:12:37,794 --> 04:12:38,494
urging you guys not to continue

8451
04:12:38,494 --> 04:12:42,940
funding Floc We do not want

8452
04:12:42,265 --> 04:12:42,998
mass surveillance in our city

8453
04:12:42,998 --> 04:12:43,666
and this funding is millions of

8454
04:12:43,666 --> 04:12:46,666
dollars that could be better

8455
04:12:46,769 --> 04:12:47,470
spent on other projects that

8456
04:12:47,470 --> 04:12:48,360
actually help citizens instead

8457
04:12:48,360 --> 04:12:48,738
of stalking citizens.

8458
04:12:48,738 --> 04:12:51,241
We know that Flock has shared

8459
04:12:51,241 --> 04:12:51,941
their data with the federal

8460
04:12:51,941 --> 04:12:52,509
government that has been going

8461
04:12:52,509 --> 04:12:52,875
after residents in our

8462
04:12:52,875 --> 04:12:54,875
community.

8463
04:12:57,130 --> 04:12:57,680
We would rather see this

8464
04:12:57,680 --> 04:12:58,381
funding go to projects like

8465
04:12:58,381 --> 04:13:00,783
O.C. Weiss which is the Office

8466
04:13:00,783 --> 04:13:01,551
of Child and Youth Success

8467
04:13:01,551 --> 04:13:01,918
which helps young people across

8468
04:13:01,918 --> 04:13:02,552
the city.

8469
04:13:02,552 --> 04:13:04,520
They're very small budget.

8470
04:13:04,520 --> 04:13:05,254
They're only 350,000 and they

8471
04:13:05,254 --> 04:13:08,854
bring in millions of dollars in

8472
04:13:09,590 --> 04:13:09,758
grants specific funding.

8473
04:13:09,758 --> 04:13:12,795
Right now in the San Diego

8474
04:13:12,795 --> 04:13:13,530
Unified School District, 8% of

8475
04:13:13,530 --> 04:13:14,630
students and their families are

8476
04:13:14,630 --> 04:13:14,766
going to experience

8477
04:13:14,766 --> 04:13:17,766
homelessness in the San Diego

8478
04:13:17,800 --> 04:13:18,600
Unified School District.

8479
04:13:18,600 --> 04:13:19,302
So it is really critical that

8480
04:13:19,302 --> 04:13:20,300
we give funding to the Office

8481
04:13:20,300 --> 04:13:22,271
of Child and Youth Success to

8482
04:13:22,271 --> 04:13:22,973
really help out with youth

8483
04:13:22,973 --> 04:13:23,540
issues because it also affects

8484
04:13:23,540 --> 04:13:24,140
the families that are

8485
04:13:24,140 --> 04:13:24,507
supporting youth here in

8486
04:13:24,507 --> 04:13:25,208
the city.

8487
04:13:25,208 --> 04:13:25,675
Thank you.

8488
04:13:25,675 --> 04:13:27,675
>> Thank you.

8489
04:13:30,847 --> 04:13:31,480
Coming up, you.

8490
04:13:31,480 --> 04:13:31,815
>> Good afternoon council

8491
04:13:31,815 --> 04:13:33,815
members.

8492
04:13:35,517 --> 04:13:36,386
My name is Carina Pugh.

8493
04:13:36,386 --> 04:13:37,870
My pronouns are she her and I

8494
04:13:37,870 --> 04:13:39,623
am speaking today on behalf of

8495
04:13:39,623 --> 04:13:39,956
the San Diego lgbt Community

8496
04:13:39,956 --> 04:13:40,690
Center.

8497
04:13:40,690 --> 04:13:41,391
I'm asking the Council today to

8498
04:13:41,391 --> 04:13:44,795
take bold action and vote to

8499
04:13:44,795 --> 04:13:45,495
pass a budget that invests in

8500
04:13:45,495 --> 04:13:46,290
every San Diego and especially

8501
04:13:46,290 --> 04:13:48,290
our most underserved

8502
04:13:49,666 --> 04:13:50,399
communities including the and

8503
04:13:50,399 --> 04:13:51,340
trans folks living in our city.

8504
04:13:51,340 --> 04:13:53,971
Time and time again our

8505
04:13:53,971 --> 04:13:54,637
community shows up to these

8506
04:13:54,637 --> 04:13:55,372
budget hearings to ask our

8507
04:13:55,372 --> 04:13:55,772
elected leaders to invest in us

8508
04:13:55,772 --> 04:13:57,772
the people.

8509
04:13:59,410 --> 04:13:59,843

8512
04:14:01,111 --> 04:14:03,847

Use Disorder services for

8521
04:14:15,192 --> 04:14:15,758
the community to invest in What

8522
04:14:15,758 --> 04:14:18,758
we say makes San Diego

America's finest cities city

04:14:20,330 --> 04:14:22,730
the people who keep

8526
04:14:23,467 --> 04:14:23,800
the creative heart of San Diego

8527
04:14:23,800 --> 04:14:24,501
beating.

8528
04:14:24,501 --> 04:14:25,168
Please ensure that the city's

8529
04:14:25,168 --> 04:14:25,702
budget invests in the entire

8530
04:14:25,702 --> 04:14:26,703
San Diego community.

8531
04:14:26,703 --> 04:14:28,703
Thank you.

8532
04:14:31,875 --> 04:14:33,875
Christine Martinez.

8533
04:14:36,847 --> 04:14:37,581
Good afternoon.

8534
04:14:37,581 --> 04:14:38,248
>> I'm Christine Martinez from

8535
04:14:38,248 --> 04:14:41,840
Arts and Culture San Diego.

8536
04:14:41,840 --> 04:14:41,785
I'm here to support council

8537
04:14:41,785 --> 04:14:42,452
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee and

8538
04:14:42,452 --> 04:14:45,452
Budget Chair Henry Foster in

8539
04:14:46,356 --> 04:14:47,230
their plan to restore much of

8540
04:14:47,230 --> 04:14:49,493
the arts and culture budget.

8541
04:14:49,493 --> 04:14:50,360
Thank you to both of you and

8542
04:14:50,360 --> 04:14:51,610
thank you to all nine of our

8543
04:14:51,610 --> 04:14:51,761
City Council members who have

8544
04:14:51,761 --> 04:14:54,761
been so vocally supportive of

8545
04:14:55,320 --> 04:14:55,566
arts and culture throughout

8546
04:14:55,566 --> 04:14:56,166
this budget process.

8547
04:14:56,166 --> 04:14:56,867
We appreciate you taking

8548
04:14:56,867 --> 04:14:59,570
the time to listen to hundreds

8549
04:14:59,570 --> 04:15:00,204
of our arts and culture

8550
04:15:00,204 --> 04:15:00,871
community who emailed your

8551
04:15:00,871 --> 04:15:03,271
offices called, rallied and

8552
04:15:04,541 --> 04:15:05,276
gave public testimony.

8553
04:15:05,276 --> 04:15:05,909
It is obvious you understood

8554
04:15:05,909 --> 04:15:06,276
the very real risk to our

8555
04:15:06,276 --> 04:15:08,276
community.

8556
04:15:09,879 --> 04:15:10,581
We appreciate this plan to get

8557
04:15:10,581 --> 04:15:11,382
us through to next year as we

8558
04:15:11,382 --> 04:15:13,750
work toward a more sustainable

8559
04:15:13,750 --> 04:15:14,517
plan.

8560
04:15:14,517 --> 04:15:15,152
Let's keep the arts and culture

8561
04:15:15,152 --> 04:15:17,552
economic engine fueled and

8562
04:15:18,989 --> 04:15:19,389
ready to work for San Diego.

8563
04:15:19,389 --> 04:15:20,124
Thank you.

8564
04:15:20,124 --> 04:15:20,556
Bob Lehman if you can please

8565
04:15:20,556 --> 04:15:22,556
come forward.

8566
04:15:23,193 --> 04:15:23,861
Bob Lehman.

8567
04:15:23,861 --> 04:15:25,861
Good afternoon Council

8568
04:15:28,980 --> 04:15:28,798
PRESIDENT And City.

8569
04:15:28,798 --> 04:15:29,567
City Council Members I'm here

8570
04:15:29,567 --> 04:15:32,567
to thank Council PRESIDENT Pro

8571
04:15:33,537 --> 04:15:34,305
Tem Ken Lee and Council Member

8572
04:15:34,305 --> 04:15:37,305
Foster for their great plan

8573
04:15:38,175 --> 04:15:38,841
working together with

8574
04:15:38,841 --> 04:15:39,577
the Premier's Foundation to

8575
04:15:39,577 --> 04:15:43,177
restore much of the funding for

8576
04:15:43,279 --> 04:15:43,847
arts and culture and also more

8577
04:15:43,847 --> 04:15:45,847
importantly looking at

8578
04:15:47,751 --> 04:15:48,419
the collaborative efforts of

8579
04:15:48,419 --> 04:15:49,860
working with the county and

8580
04:15:49,860 --> 04:15:49,653
foundations in the future to

8581
04:15:49,653 --> 04:15:51,653
resolve this problem.

8582
04:15:52,823 --> 04:15:53,691
Going forward.

8583
04:15:53,691 --> 04:15:54,258
We look forward to working with

8584
04:15:54,258 --> 04:15:54,858
you and the mayor and

8585
04:15:54,858 --> 04:15:57,258
the mayor's office going

8586
04:15:57,261 --> 04:15:57,961
forward to make this something

8587
04:15:57,961 --> 04:15:58,696
that doesn't happen every year

8588
04:15:58,696 --> 04:15:59,196
but a plan that works great for

8589
04:15:59,196 --> 04:16:01,196
our entire region.

8590
04:16:01,966 --> 04:16:02,433
Thank you.

8591
04:16:02,433 --> 04:16:03,100
>> Thank you.

8592
04:16:03,100 --> 04:16:06,100
Michael Warburton if you can

8593
04:16:06,437 --> 04:16:07,204
please come forward.

8594
04:16:07,204 --> 04:16:07,905
>> I'd like to clarify

8595
04:16:07,905 --> 04:16:10,905
something for the budget team.

8596
04:16:11,809 --> 04:16:12,510
The county's arts funding is

8597
04:16:12,510 --> 04:16:13,177
going directly to artists and

8598
04:16:13,177 --> 04:16:15,577
not for operational support.

8599
04:16:17,715 --> 04:16:18,416
That's important because

8600
04:16:18,416 --> 04:16:19,150
the area museum we need that

8601
04:16:19,150 --> 04:16:21,550
operational support in shoulder

8602
04:16:22,219 --> 04:16:22,987
seasons.

8603
04:16:22,987 --> 04:16:23,454
I look at the osp funding as

8604
04:16:23,454 --> 04:16:25,454
payrolls right?

8605
04:16:26,123 --> 04:16:26,824
That gets us through the hard

8606
04:16:26,824 --> 04:16:27,525
times and especially now we're

8607
04:16:27,525 --> 04:16:28,326
still going to be dealing with

8608
04:16:28,326 --> 04:16:30,895
six months of hard times with

8609
04:16:30,895 --> 04:16:31,762
the paid parking.

8610
04:16:31,762 --> 04:16:32,530
So thank you in advance for

8611
04:16:32,530 --> 04:16:35,530
voting for this modified budget

8612
04:16:36,633 --> 04:16:37,267
and also to I'm really looking

8613
04:16:37,267 --> 04:16:40,237
forward to leaning in with

8614
04:16:40,237 --> 04:16:40,938
the arts community and with

8615
04:16:40,938 --> 04:16:41,672
city council to really figure

8616
04:16:41,672 --> 04:16:45,176
out a long term solution for

8617
04:16:45,176 --> 04:16:45,842
the arts funding.

8618
04:16:45,842 --> 04:16:48,242
It needs to happen.

8619
04:16:48,879 --> 04:16:49,313
It's been on the plan for what,

8620
04:16:49,313 --> 04:16:49,847
12 years now?

8621
04:16:49,847 --> 04:16:50,414
Something like that.

8622
04:16:50,414 --> 04:16:51,148
So let's finally pull

8623
04:16:51,148 --> 04:16:51,481
the trigger and make this thing

8624
04:16:51,481 --> 04:16:52,383
happen.

8625
04:16:52,383 --> 04:16:54,383
Thank you.

8626
04:16:57,555 --> 04:16:57,955
Khalid Alexander?

8627
04:16:57,955 --> 04:16:58,422
>> Yeah.

8628
04:16:58,422 --> 04:17:00,422
Hello, Counsel.

8629
04:17:03,127 --> 04:17:03,827
Khalid Alexander born and

8630
04:17:03,827 --> 04:17:04,496
raised in San Diego And ever

8631
04:17:04,496 --> 04:17:08,960
since this guy over here was

8632
04:17:08,166 --> 04:17:08,900
elected and we had a majority

8633
04:17:08,900 --> 04:17:09,634
Democratic Senate up here, I've

8634
04:17:09,634 --> 04:17:12,302
never been as ashamed to be a

8635
04:17:12,302 --> 04:17:12,837
San Diego and as proud to be

8636
04:17:12,837 --> 04:17:13,504
from District four.

8637
04:17:13,504 --> 04:17:16,974
Today you have a very simple

8638
04:17:16,974 --> 04:17:17,575
question You're going to either

8639
04:17:17,575 --> 04:17:18,276
vote to support and fund

8640
04:17:18,276 --> 04:17:21,746
the police or you're going to

8641
04:17:21,746 --> 04:17:22,413
support the people.

8642
04:17:22,413 --> 04:17:22,947
We're asking you that you

8643
04:17:22,947 --> 04:17:23,548
support the people.

8644
04:17:23,548 --> 04:17:26,250
Are you going to support

8645
04:17:26,250 --> 04:17:26,917
the police whose union dues go

8646
04:17:26,917 --> 04:17:27,585
to funding the maga agenda?

8647
04:17:27,585 --> 04:17:30,521
Or are you going to support

8648
04:17:30,521 --> 04:17:31,560
people who are targets of

8649
04:17:31,560 --> 04:17:31,722
the pro mega agenda?

8650
04:17:31,722 --> 04:17:34,722
We request that you support

8651
04:17:35,960 --> 04:17:36,560
the people who are begging you

8652
04:17:36,560 --> 04:17:37,194
to support programs that

8653
04:17:37,194 --> 04:17:40,194
prevent crime and that you

8654
04:17:40,832 --> 04:17:41,533
defund the police that continue

8655
04:17:41,533 --> 04:17:42,670
to perpetuate the crime that

8656
04:17:42,670 --> 04:17:42,600
we're talking about.

8657
04:17:42,600 --> 04:17:43,000
Support the people.

8658
04:17:43,000 --> 04:17:45,000
The police.

8659
04:17:45,770 --> 04:17:46,403
Invest in programs that prevent

8660
04:17:46,403 --> 04:17:46,838
crime, not the police who

8661
04:17:46,838 --> 04:17:47,205
perpetuate it.

8662
04:17:47,205 --> 04:17:49,205
Thank you.

8663
04:17:53,477 --> 04:17:54,120
Lucky Aiden.

8664
04:17:54,120 --> 04:17:56,120
>> Good afternoon.

8665
04:17:58,883 --> 04:17:59,516
Council members Lucky eating

8666
04:17:59,516 --> 04:17:59,884
with pana and the Trust sd

8667
04:17:59,884 --> 04:18:00,552
Coalition.

8668
04:18:00,552 --> 04:18:03,188
Over the past several weeks

8669
04:18:03,188 --> 04:18:03,822
you've heard directly from

8670
04:18:03,822 --> 04:18:04,256
community members on what

8671
04:18:04,256 --> 04:18:06,256
matters to us.

8672
04:18:08,226 --> 04:18:08,860
We asked you to invest in our

8673
04:18:08,860 --> 04:18:09,493
neighborhoods fund parks,

8674
04:18:09,493 --> 04:18:11,893
libraries, arts and youth

8675
04:18:13,231 --> 04:18:13,798
programs and the services to

8676
04:18:13,798 --> 04:18:14,666
help families thrive.

8677
04:18:14,666 --> 04:18:17,801
We ask you to reject harmful

8678
04:18:17,801 --> 04:18:18,536
technologies that

8679
04:18:18,536 --> 04:18:19,204
disproportionately target civil

8680
04:18:19,204 --> 04:18:21,204
our marginalized communities

8681
04:18:21,773 --> 04:18:22,473
immigrant communities,

8682
04:18:22,473 --> 04:18:22,807
communities of color and young

8683
04:18:22,807 --> 04:18:23,475
people.

8684
04:18:23,475 --> 04:18:27,750
Today your vote will show us

8685
04:18:27,112 --> 04:18:27,511
whether you are truly listening

8686
04:18:27,511 --> 04:18:27,912
to us.

8687
04:18:27,912 --> 04:18:28,679
We will.

8688
04:18:28,679 --> 04:18:29,414
Will you stand with San Diego?

8689
04:18:29,414 --> 04:18:32,820
The San Diegans who report

8690
04:18:32,820 --> 04:18:32,751
repeatedly called for

8691
04:18:32,751 --> 04:18:33,418
investment in people Or will

8692
04:18:33,418 --> 04:18:34,152
you ignore those voices and

8693
04:18:34,152 --> 04:18:37,152
move forward with policies that

8694
04:18:37,189 --> 04:18:37,956
cause harm?

8695
04:18:37,956 --> 04:18:38,690
Many of you campaigned on

8696
04:18:38,690 --> 04:18:41,900
standing with immigrants, youth

8697
04:18:41,559 --> 04:18:42,160
working families in strictly

8698
04:18:42,160 --> 04:18:42,727
underserved communities.

8699
04:18:42,727 --> 04:18:45,127
You spoke about equity

8700
04:18:46,431 --> 04:18:46,997
accountability and people

8701
04:18:46,997 --> 04:18:47,666
putting people first.

8702
04:18:47,666 --> 04:18:50,666
But your values are proving

8703
04:18:50,836 --> 04:18:51,503
that during a campaign these

8704
04:18:51,503 --> 04:18:52,200
are the they are proven in

8705
04:18:52,200 --> 04:18:52,737
moments like this.

8706
04:18:52,737 --> 04:18:53,604
Today is one of those moments.

8707
04:18:53,604 --> 04:18:56,400
The community is paying

8708
04:18:59,144 --> 04:18:59,644
attention.

8709
04:18:59,644 --> 04:19:00,312
Thank you.

8710
04:19:00,312 --> 04:19:01,278

Mused Ahmed.

8716
04:19:09,870 --> 04:19:09,855

8718
04:19:10,255 --> 04:19:12,255
Thank you.

Thank you.

8722
04:19:19,865 --> 04:19:21,865
Fatima say side.

Thank you.

8724
04:19:23,801 --> 04:19:24,269
You'll have five minutes.

8725
04:19:24,269 --> 04:19:25,700
Please proceed.

8726
04:19:25,700 --> 04:19:28,307
My name is Humaira Safi with

8727
04:19:28,307 --> 04:19:29,740
the trust as the coalition and

8728
04:19:29,740 --> 04:19:31,474
senior policy strategist with

8729
04:19:32,778 --> 04:19:33,445
Pana.

8730
04:19:33,445 --> 04:19:33,912
Today your vote shows where

8731
04:19:33,912 --> 04:19:35,912
your values lie.

8732
04:19:37,683 --> 04:19:38,383
Do you stand with the community

8733
04:19:38,383 --> 04:19:41,383
and the programs and services

8734
04:19:42,387 --> 04:19:43,321
we all need as San Diegans?

8735
04:19:43,321 --> 04:19:46,926
Or do you stand with a Georgia

8736
04:19:46,926 --> 04:19:47,626
based company and give those

8737
04:19:47,626 --> 04:19:51,226
vital funds that we need here

8738
04:19:51,496 --> 04:19:52,130
in San Diego to an organ to a

8739
04:19:52,130 --> 04:19:52,764
company that has ties with

8740
04:19:52,764 --> 04:19:54,764
the Trump administration?

8741
04:19:56,635 --> 04:19:57,302
Flock has been proven time and

8742
04:19:57,302 --> 04:20:00,302
time again to be ineffective

8743
04:20:00,939 --> 04:20:01,740
that even your own reports

8744
04:20:01,740 --> 04:20:04,140
demonstrate that 99.97% of hits

8745
04:20:06,178 --> 04:20:07,112
are completely useless.

8746
04:20:07,112 --> 04:20:11,312
That and I wonder what you all

8747
04:20:11,450 --> 04:20:12,500
think What happens when you get

8748
04:20:12,500 --> 04:20:12,751
hundreds of data points

8749
04:20:12,751 --> 04:20:15,751
Hundreds of thousands of data

8750
04:20:16,550 --> 04:20:16,488
points are collected on our of

8751
04:20:16,488 --> 04:20:16,789
our community.

8752
04:20:16,789 --> 04:20:17,423
Right.

8753
04:20:17,423 --> 04:20:20,423
Do you all think of

8754
04:20:20,726 --> 04:20:21,293
the immigrant community,

8755
04:20:21,293 --> 04:20:21,894
the lgbt communities,

8756
04:20:21,894 --> 04:20:22,627
the Muslim communities,

8757
04:20:22,627 --> 04:20:25,598
the black and brown communities

8758
04:20:25,598 --> 04:20:26,298
who are put in harm's way

8759
04:20:26,298 --> 04:20:26,665
because you all are collecting

8760
04:20:26,665 --> 04:20:28,665
this data.

8761
04:20:30,436 --> 04:20:31,136
A company that has so many

8762
04:20:31,136 --> 04:20:31,737
problems that is so poisonous

8763
04:20:31,737 --> 04:20:33,737
that 68 cities across

8764
04:20:35,975 --> 04:20:36,441
the country have ended their

8765
04:20:36,441 --> 04:20:37,109
floc contracts.

8766
04:20:37,109 --> 04:20:39,979
>> If you all did the right

8767
04:20:39,979 --> 04:20:40,679
thing here today you would not

8768
04:20:40,679 --> 04:20:41,413
be the first and you will

8769
04:20:41,413 --> 04:20:44,783
definitely not be the last city

8770
04:20:44,783 --> 04:20:45,584
to end the contract.

8771
04:20:45,584 --> 04:20:46,352
Okay This is a community.

8772
04:20:46,352 --> 04:20:46,718
This is a cost that is not

8773
04:20:46,718 --> 04:20:48,718
worth it.

8774
04:20:49,588 --> 04:20:50,355
It's not cost.

8775
04:20:50,355 --> 04:20:50,856
>> It's not worth it for

8776
04:20:50,856 --> 04:20:51,423
the community cost

8777
04:20:51,423 --> 04:20:53,823
the financial cost and

8778
04:20:54,393 --> 04:20:55,160
the legally liability.

8779
04:20:55,160 --> 04:20:55,794
More than that though, I just

8780
04:20:55,794 --> 04:20:58,794
want you all to understand

8781
04:20:59,231 --> 04:20:59,532
today is about who do you stand

8782
04:20:59,532 --> 04:21:00,198
with?

8783
04:21:00,198 --> 04:21:02,198
Councilmember Yvonne Wilber

8784
04:21:03,169 --> 04:21:04,360
Every time we bring this to you

8785
04:21:04,360 --> 04:21:04,737
you cry and you have tears and

8786
04:21:04,737 --> 04:21:05,237
you talk about that one police

8787
04:21:05,237 --> 04:21:07,237
officer that died.

8788
04:21:08,908 --> 04:21:09,275
I want to know what about our

8789
04:21:09,275 --> 04:21:10,760
community?

8790
04:21:10,760 --> 04:21:13,846
Are you what are the where are

8791
04:21:13,846 --> 04:21:14,513
the tears for our communities?

8792
04:21:14,513 --> 04:21:15,214
Where are the tears for our

8793
04:21:15,214 --> 04:21:15,581
immigrant communities who are

8794
04:21:15,581 --> 04:21:17,550
separated?

8795
04:21:17,550 --> 04:21:18,217
Where are the tears for

8796
04:21:18,217 --> 04:21:18,851
the Muslim community Who is

8797
04:21:18,851 --> 04:21:21,251
recovering from a domestic

8798
04:21:23,560 --> 04:21:23,456
terrorist attack on our

8799
04:21:23,456 --> 04:21:24,122
communities?

8800
04:21:24,122 --> 04:21:24,923
Where are the tears for our

8801
04:21:24,923 --> 04:21:28,327
children who are now because of

8802
04:21:28,327 --> 04:21:29,128
what happened, because of these

8803
04:21:29,128 --> 04:21:32,728
two teenagers that came to our

8804
04:21:33,990 --> 04:21:36,990
Islamic center and killed three

8805
04:21:37,537 --> 04:21:38,271
of our heroes?

8806
04:21:38,271 --> 04:21:38,603
Where is the tears for them?

8807
04:21:38,603 --> 04:21:39,437
Okay.

8808
04:21:39,437 --> 04:21:43,370
Where are the tears for our

8809
04:21:43,241 --> 04:21:43,943
children who are now afraid to

8810
04:21:43,943 --> 04:21:46,943
go outside who are bedwetting,

8811
04:21:47,460 --> 04:21:47,346
some of them who have gone

8812
04:21:47,346 --> 04:21:47,647
mute.

8813
04:21:47,647 --> 04:21:48,314
Okay.

8814
04:21:48,314 --> 04:21:51,914
Where is the tears for our

8815
04:21:52,830 --> 04:21:52,518
communities Because we don't

8816
04:21:52,518 --> 04:21:53,452
feel it.

8817
04:21:53,452 --> 04:21:54,353
You can say all you all want

8818
04:21:54,353 --> 04:21:57,560
all council members who are not

8819
04:21:57,560 --> 04:21:59,456
who are not understanding

8820
04:22:00,993 --> 04:22:01,761
the fact that this technology

8821
04:22:01,761 --> 04:22:05,361
was used as a tool that

8822
04:22:05,731 --> 04:22:06,432
actually pulled resources away

8823
04:22:06,432 --> 04:22:06,798
from saving our three heroes

8824
04:22:06,798 --> 04:22:08,798
that day.

8825
04:22:11,170 --> 04:22:11,904
>> I just wanted to make sure

8826
04:22:11,904 --> 04:22:12,305
you all understand what you are

8827
04:22:12,305 --> 04:22:12,638
voting for.

8828
04:22:12,638 --> 04:22:14,638
>> Okay.

8829
04:22:15,274 --> 04:22:16,208
Hmm.

8830
04:22:16,208 --> 04:22:18,608
>> Police relied on faulty

8831
04:22:20,113 --> 04:22:20,779
flock technology rather than

8832
04:22:20,779 --> 04:22:23,179
using common sense practices

8833
04:22:24,650 --> 04:22:25,251
that could have saved the lives

8834
04:22:25,251 --> 04:22:26,190
of our three heroes.

8835
04:22:26,190 --> 04:22:29,255
Stop saying that you stand with

8836
04:22:29,255 --> 04:22:29,956
immigrant communities and urge

8837
04:22:29,956 --> 04:22:30,723
the federal government to shut

8838
04:22:30,723 --> 04:22:34,661
down ice or to fund the state

8839
04:22:34,661 --> 04:22:35,495
security Because you know what?

8840
04:22:35,495 --> 04:22:36,196
There's a vote in front of you

8841
04:22:36,196 --> 04:22:39,499
right now that you can do to

8842
04:22:39,499 --> 04:22:40,990
work with our communities and

8843
04:22:40,990 --> 04:22:40,767
protect our communities.

8844
04:22:40,767 --> 04:22:43,503
When hpr was first being

8845
04:22:43,503 --> 04:22:44,202
considered in 2023, icac

8846
04:22:44,202 --> 04:22:44,904
specifically said don't put it

8847
04:22:44,904 --> 04:22:47,839
in front of our mosque because

8848
04:22:47,839 --> 04:22:48,508
they understood that our

8849
04:22:48,508 --> 04:22:51,508
communities were going to be

8850
04:22:52,311 --> 04:22:52,979
used and we're going to be put

8851
04:22:52,979 --> 04:22:53,680
in harm's way if this

8852
04:22:53,680 --> 04:22:54,113
technology was put in front of

8853
04:22:54,113 --> 04:22:54,414
our senators.

8854
04:22:54,414 --> 04:22:56,414
Okay.

8855
04:22:57,684 --> 04:22:58,184
And so we understand that

8856
04:22:58,184 --> 04:22:58,852
the PRESIDENT And

8857
04:22:58,852 --> 04:23:01,252
the administration and those

8858
04:23:02,222 --> 04:23:02,922
members of Congress who are

8859
04:23:02,922 --> 04:23:03,590
calling us all terrorists and

8860
04:23:03,590 --> 04:23:04,257
telling us to go back to our

8861
04:23:04,257 --> 04:23:07,257
country are going to use

8862
04:23:07,260 --> 04:23:07,827
technologies like this to

8863
04:23:07,827 --> 04:23:09,827
weaponize against us.

8864
04:23:11,531 --> 04:23:12,132
>> So there are council members

8865
04:23:12,132 --> 04:23:12,799
here for council members

8866
04:23:12,799 --> 04:23:15,799

communities.

8880
04:23:41,600 --> 04:23:41,694
We need these vital services.

8881
04:23:41,694 --> 04:23:42,610
Our community needs parks,

8882
04:23:42,610 --> 04:23:44,610
libraries.

8883
04:23:45,599 --> 04:23:46,299
Our children need arts to

recover from the pain that we

8885
04:23:46,700 --> 04:23:48,700

to the front row?

8911
04:24:42,521 --> 04:24:42,923
That speech was worth a round

8912
04:24:42,923 --> 04:24:44,923
of applause.

8913
04:24:46,427 --> 04:24:46,727
Let's not do it again.

8914
04:24:46,727 --> 04:24:47,394
Okay.

8915
04:24:47,394 --> 04:24:49,794
Patricia One was worthwhile.

8916
04:24:50,963 --> 04:24:51,632
Sorry.

8917
04:24:51,632 --> 04:24:52,990
>> Patricia, please proceed.

8918
04:24:52,990 --> 04:24:52,899
Good afternoon.

8919
04:24:52,899 --> 04:24:56,402
My name is Patricia Serrano and

8920
04:24:56,402 --> 04:24:57,237
I work for Pilar.

8921
04:24:57,237 --> 04:24:57,938
I just want to say they are

8922
04:24:57,938 --> 04:25:00,338
good friends and community

8923
04:25:00,774 --> 04:25:01,740
members are hurting because of

8924
04:25:01,740 --> 04:25:01,841
luck.

8925
04:25:01,841 --> 04:25:05,780
Enable this to happen and must

8926
04:25:05,780 --> 04:25:05,379
be stopped and protect San

8927
04:25:05,379 --> 04:25:06,246
Diego.

8928
04:25:06,246 --> 04:25:09,749
I want to speak directly to

8929
04:25:09,749 --> 04:25:10,584
Miami.

8930
04:25:10,584 --> 04:25:14,184
You have followed my mind both

8931
04:25:14,188 --> 04:25:18,388
on how you are a candidate for

8932
04:25:18,826 --> 04:25:21,826
District 48 and now how you

8933
04:25:23,731 --> 04:25:24,598
stood up to Trump in voting for

8934
04:25:24,598 --> 04:25:26,967
Flag as a vote for Trump.

8935
04:25:26,967 --> 04:25:27,368
You don't understand our

8936
04:25:27,368 --> 04:25:28,680
communities.

8937
04:25:28,680 --> 04:25:30,468
You don't understand immigrant

8938
04:25:32,272 --> 04:25:33,173
communities.

8939
04:25:33,173 --> 04:25:33,674
It is enough to say that you

8940
04:25:33,674 --> 04:25:34,141
are anti-Trump.

8941
04:25:34,141 --> 04:25:34,942
It's not enough.

8942
04:25:34,942 --> 04:25:36,942
It's not enough.

8943
04:25:40,314 --> 04:25:41,800
>> You have to act.

8944
04:25:41,800 --> 04:25:44,680
>> Today you have the choice to

8945
04:25:44,885 --> 04:25:45,819
do a stand with our communities

8946
04:25:45,819 --> 04:25:48,819
,our brothers and sisters, our

8947
04:25:49,323 --> 04:25:49,957
Muslim communities, our black

8948
04:25:49,957 --> 04:25:51,957
communities, our immigrant

8949
04:25:54,929 --> 04:25:55,796
communities.

8950
04:25:55,796 --> 04:25:59,396
>> Down to thank you for that.

8951
04:25:59,834 --> 04:26:00,434
Concluding Remarks Lynell Brown

8952
04:26:00,434 --> 04:26:02,834
Because I hear okay.

8953
04:26:08,209 --> 04:26:08,776
Shaheen Price.

8954
04:26:08,776 --> 04:26:10,776
Good afternoon.

8955
04:26:13,681 --> 04:26:16,810
Council members My community

8956
04:26:17,918 --> 04:26:18,486
needs investment.

8957
04:26:18,486 --> 04:26:19,860
It needs resources.

8958
04:26:19,860 --> 04:26:21,486
My community don't need

8959
04:26:22,490 --> 04:26:23,570
surveillance or the continuance

8960
04:26:23,570 --> 04:26:23,457
of overpolicing in our

8961
04:26:23,457 --> 04:26:25,457
communities.

8962
04:26:27,194 --> 04:26:27,795
Why do we continue to give as

8963
04:26:27,795 --> 04:26:28,496
dpd billions to harass

8964
04:26:28,496 --> 04:26:31,999
the black and brown peoples in

8965
04:26:31,999 --> 04:26:33,340
our communities?

8966
04:26:33,340 --> 04:26:35,870
My my community is South San

8967
04:26:35,870 --> 04:26:36,603
Diego District four.

8968
04:26:36,603 --> 04:26:37,171
Give my committee the resources

8969
04:26:37,171 --> 04:26:39,571
to thrive like other

8970
04:26:41,609 --> 04:26:44,609
communities are able to thrive

8971
04:26:45,379 --> 04:26:46,470
with resources Funding South

8972
04:26:46,470 --> 04:26:46,613
These treatment centers fund

8973
04:26:46,613 --> 04:26:47,140
the community and not

8974
04:26:47,140 --> 04:26:49,140
the police.

8975
04:26:49,917 --> 04:26:52,317
You know smart streetlights,

8976
04:26:54,989 --> 04:26:55,623
lpr drones you know these

8977
04:26:55,623 --> 04:26:56,390
things don't keep us safe.

8978
04:26:56,390 --> 04:26:57,580
You know I heard of a lot of

8979
04:26:57,580 --> 04:26:59,827
people come up here talking

8980
04:26:59,827 --> 04:27:00,628
about taking a police and

8981
04:27:00,628 --> 04:27:04,828
the guy over there about how to

8982
04:27:04,866 --> 04:27:05,532
keep us safe But we know what

8983
04:27:05,532 --> 04:27:07,932
really keep communities safe

8984
04:27:08,870 --> 04:27:11,870
and invest in our communities.

8985
04:27:13,474 --> 04:27:13,840
>> Michelle Wilson good

8986
04:27:13,840 --> 04:27:15,840
afternoon.

8987
04:27:19,347 --> 04:27:20,470
And Charlie Woods said I'm

8988
04:27:20,470 --> 04:27:20,548
the legal director of Pillars

8989
04:27:20,548 --> 04:27:22,548
of the Community.

8990
04:27:22,617 --> 04:27:23,384
>> I have one minute one minute

8991
04:27:23,384 --> 04:27:27,221
to tell you all the data about

8992
04:27:27,221 --> 04:27:27,956
alpa and its law technology.

8993
04:27:27,956 --> 04:27:28,623
I have one minute to share

8994
04:27:28,623 --> 04:27:31,230
stories after stories about

8995
04:27:31,559 --> 04:27:32,160
community members who have been

8996
04:27:32,160 --> 04:27:32,660
harassed by the police.

8997
04:27:32,660 --> 04:27:35,600
I can do that.

8998
04:27:35,797 --> 04:27:36,531
But one minute isn't enough.

8999
04:27:36,531 --> 04:27:39,531
>> We've spent hours at city

9000
04:27:40,301 --> 04:27:41,200
council telling you exactly

9001
04:27:41,200 --> 04:27:41,601
that giving you the data,

9002
04:27:41,601 --> 04:27:42,200
giving you the community

9003
04:27:42,200 --> 04:27:44,200
experiences.

9004
04:27:45,139 --> 04:27:45,906
And that's not enough.

9005
04:27:45,906 --> 04:27:46,507
>> But one message is

9006
04:27:46,507 --> 04:27:48,507
resoundingly clear Our

9007
04:27:50,780 --> 04:27:50,478
communities do not trust

9008
04:27:50,478 --> 04:27:51,112
the police.

9009
04:27:51,112 --> 04:27:54,112
They do not prevent crime.

9010
04:27:55,116 --> 04:27:55,816
Instead they enforce

9011
04:27:55,816 --> 04:27:57,816
harassment, discrimination and

9012
04:27:59,988 --> 04:28:00,320
racism on our community

9013
04:28:00,320 --> 04:28:00,955
members.

9014
04:28:00,955 --> 04:28:04,555
I see it every single day.

9015
04:28:04,692 --> 04:28:05,930
And this budget is a message of

9016
04:28:05,930 --> 04:28:07,930
your values.

9017
04:28:09,264 --> 04:28:09,898
So are you deciding to continue

9018
04:28:09,898 --> 04:28:10,565
to fund that harassment,

9019
04:28:10,565 --> 04:28:12,965
discrimination and racism or

9020
04:28:14,169 --> 04:28:14,869
are you deciding to fund

9021
04:28:14,869 --> 04:28:15,336
prevention of crime by funding

9022
04:28:15,336 --> 04:28:17,336
our communities?

9023
04:28:18,573 --> 04:28:20,573
>> That's on you.

9024
04:28:23,378 --> 04:28:24,346
Mimi Hernandez Hernandez What's

9025
04:28:24,346 --> 04:28:28,546
up City members We don't need a

9026
04:28:29,150 --> 04:28:29,384
lpr We need c o m m you and I t

9027
04:28:29,384 --> 04:28:31,384
y.

9028
04:28:33,788 --> 04:28:34,456
And we need you to do the right

9029
04:28:34,456 --> 04:28:34,789
thing by getting behind our

9030
04:28:34,789 --> 04:28:35,557
people.

9031
04:28:35,557 --> 04:28:37,926
For those of you who are left

9032
04:28:37,926 --> 04:28:38,994
to vote, we're going to tell

9033
04:28:38,994 --> 04:28:42,497
you now do not vote yes on that

9034
04:28:42,497 --> 04:28:43,231
system.

9035
04:28:43,231 --> 04:28:46,231
Yesterday four young four young

9036
04:28:47,502 --> 04:28:48,203
including a minor black boys

9037
04:28:48,203 --> 04:28:49,700
were pulled over and 30 cop

9038
04:28:49,700 --> 04:28:52,574
cars for four young black boys

9039
04:28:52,574 --> 04:28:53,240
just for them to go to jail for

9040
04:28:53,240 --> 04:28:55,640
something that they weren't

9041
04:28:56,778 --> 04:28:57,812
even involved in or didn't do.

9042
04:28:57,812 --> 04:29:02,283
It took us the community c o m

9043
04:29:02,283 --> 04:29:03,318
m and I t y community.

9044
04:29:03,318 --> 04:29:07,189
It took us to come and save

9045
04:29:07,189 --> 04:29:07,522
those young black boys Not no

9046
04:29:07,522 --> 04:29:08,256
system.

9047
04:29:08,256 --> 04:29:11,860
So we say it again and again

9048
04:29:11,860 --> 04:29:12,594
and again Put the money where

9049
04:29:12,594 --> 04:29:12,960
it belongs, put it in the right

9050
04:29:12,960 --> 04:29:13,628
resources.

9051
04:29:13,628 --> 04:29:16,932
Allow us to do what we do.

9052
04:29:16,932 --> 04:29:17,866
The community Think about it.

9053
04:29:17,866 --> 04:29:21,836
They can take that way up north

9054
04:29:21,836 --> 04:29:22,504
somewhere But what we see in

9055
04:29:22,504 --> 04:29:24,904
southeast San Diego District

9056
04:29:26,308 --> 04:29:26,741
49821 whatever we don't see it

9057
04:29:26,741 --> 04:29:27,376
nowhere else.

9058
04:29:27,376 --> 04:29:27,909
>> Thank you for that

9059
04:29:27,909 --> 04:29:29,909
concluding sentence.

9060
04:29:35,483 --> 04:29:36,284
Leila Aziz Council PRESIDENT

9061
04:29:36,284 --> 04:29:36,685
Not going waste my time on

9062
04:29:36,685 --> 04:29:37,386
the others.

9063
04:29:37,386 --> 04:29:37,653
We know that they're not with

9064
04:29:37,653 --> 04:29:39,653
us.

9065
04:29:40,121 --> 04:29:40,822
We got one about to run against

9066
04:29:40,822 --> 04:29:43,822
a Republican as a moderate

9067
04:29:44,426 --> 04:29:45,600
Republican and I don't know how

9068
04:29:45,600 --> 04:29:48,600
that's going to turn out.

9069
04:29:49,640 --> 04:29:49,798
LaCava You are going to give

9070
04:29:49,798 --> 04:29:52,798
the San Diego Police Department

9071
04:29:54,369 --> 04:29:56,471
technology when they are filing

9072
04:29:56,471 --> 04:29:58,871
all complaints and oversight

9073
04:30:02,411 --> 04:30:03,178
and miscellaneous.

9074
04:30:03,178 --> 04:30:06,778
Why would you not ensure that

9075
04:30:07,490 --> 04:30:07,716
Measure a is fully implemented

9076
04:30:07,716 --> 04:30:08,350
And there's good oversight,

9077
04:30:08,350 --> 04:30:10,350
strong strategic oversight

9078
04:30:12,488 --> 04:30:13,210
without giving them some power

9079
04:30:13,210 --> 04:30:13,455
that they've already

9080
04:30:13,455 --> 04:30:15,455
demonstrated?

9081
04:30:16,725 --> 04:30:17,392
If they have it they'll do it

9082
04:30:17,392 --> 04:30:18,160
what they want with it.

9083
04:30:18,160 --> 04:30:18,894
One time I saw Marty ask him

9084
04:30:18,894 --> 04:30:19,194
Are you going to do the right

9085
04:30:19,194 --> 04:30:21,194
thing?

9086
04:30:21,763 --> 04:30:22,431
And they said yes.

9087
04:30:22,431 --> 04:30:25,431
It was like a cartoon.

9088
04:30:27,202 --> 04:30:27,903
We have the structure get

9089
04:30:27,903 --> 04:30:28,570
the cbp get oversight together

9090
04:30:28,570 --> 04:30:31,707
and then you can have these

9091
04:30:31,707 --> 04:30:32,374
other conversations But

9092
04:30:32,374 --> 04:30:32,675
everything else you're doing

9093
04:30:32,675 --> 04:30:34,675
harm.

9094
04:30:37,513 --> 04:30:39,913
>> Thank you, Van Horn.

9095
04:30:41,383 --> 04:30:42,518

9099
04:30:48,624 --> 04:30:51,624
I said he wasn't here.

9100
04:30:55,970 --> 04:30:55,964
Oh please come forward.

9101
04:30:55,964 --> 04:30:59,564

9102

9103
04:31:04,240 --> 04:31:04,640
Oh, hello.

9104
04:31:04,640 --> 04:31:05,508
Oh hi.

9105
04:31:05,508 --> 04:31:08,508
City council and mayor and

04:31:10,479 --> 04:31:13,916
for allowing that money to come

9108
04:31:13,916 --> 04:31:14,784
back in case it comes back.

9109
04:31:14,784 --> 04:31:15,217
If it comes back, you know, we

9110
04:31:15,217 --> 04:31:17,217
appreciate it.

9111
04:31:19,722 --> 04:31:20,422
You know we've been doing a lot

9112
04:31:20,422 --> 04:31:21,156
of work in this community and

9113
04:31:21,156 --> 04:31:23,659
you can see by the vote turnout

9114
04:31:23,659 --> 04:31:24,226
you know, we had a bunch of

9115
04:31:24,226 --> 04:31:26,626
parties vote to party.

9116
04:31:28,563 --> 04:31:29,265
We knocked on doors and we got

9117
04:31:29,265 --> 04:31:29,932
everybody to come out and vote

9118
04:31:29,932 --> 04:31:33,532
for this district so that we

9119
04:31:33,869 --> 04:31:34,270
could see if the change could

9120
04:31:34,270 --> 04:31:35,137
be made.

9121
04:31:35,137 --> 04:31:35,871
And we tried to from one color

9122
04:31:35,871 --> 04:31:37,907
to another and that's thanks to

9123
04:31:37,907 --> 04:31:38,641
the work that we do in

9124
04:31:38,641 --> 04:31:42,241
the community, you know, and we

9125
04:31:42,578 --> 04:31:42,912
have the power to change things

9126
04:31:42,912 --> 04:31:43,746
.

9127
04:31:43,746 --> 04:31:47,450
So and we showed it by going

9128
04:31:47,450 --> 04:31:47,750
out there and having people

9129
04:31:47,750 --> 04:31:48,617
vote.

9130
04:31:48,617 --> 04:31:49,485
So the change that we need to

9131
04:31:49,485 --> 04:31:52,888
make is within us But it's

9132
04:31:52,888 --> 04:31:53,623

9168
04:33:24,847 --> 04:33:25,447
I'm here as a youth organizer

9169
04:33:25,447 --> 04:33:26,820
with Mid-City Kan and a

9170
04:33:26,820 --> 04:33:28,482
homeowner in City Heights.

9171
04:33:30,860 --> 04:33:30,620
I want to thank you all for

9172
04:33:30,620 --> 04:33:31,254
the restorations to

9173
04:33:31,254 --> 04:33:33,990
the libraries park and rec

9174
04:33:33,990 --> 04:33:34,758
centers in d 48 and the nine I

9175
04:33:34,758 --> 04:33:35,392
am here asking you to keep this

9176
04:33:35,392 --> 04:33:37,792
restorations in the final

9177
04:33:38,294 --> 04:33:38,995
budget that you vote for today

9178
04:33:38,995 --> 04:33:42,595
and to fully restore the hours

9179
04:33:43,400 --> 04:33:44,670
for our parks and rec centers.

9180
04:33:44,670 --> 04:33:44,734
These spaces are especially

9181
04:33:44,734 --> 04:33:45,235
useful to have for our youth

9182
04:33:45,235 --> 04:33:47,235
during the summer.

9183
04:33:48,104 --> 04:33:48,805
Ed is a space to foster

9184
04:33:48,805 --> 04:33:49,406
community like the parks after

9185
04:33:49,406 --> 04:33:49,973
dark events that we see

9186
04:33:49,973 --> 04:33:51,973
the activities offered

9187
04:33:52,809 --> 04:33:53,510
throughout these spaces help

9188
04:33:53,510 --> 04:33:54,177
our youth have healthy outlets

9189
04:33:54,177 --> 04:33:57,177
and the libraries provide a

9190
04:33:57,413 --> 04:33:58,140
designated cooling zone during

9191
04:33:58,140 --> 04:33:58,648
the hot summer days when

9192
04:33:58,648 --> 04:33:59,149
streets when heat strokes

9193
04:33:59,149 --> 04:34:01,149
become a concern.

9194
04:34:02,786 --> 04:34:03,485
Our hope is that we continue to

9195
04:34:03,485 --> 04:34:04,154
have parks that are open where

9196
04:34:04,154 --> 04:34:07,154
we can hear laughter, smell

9197
04:34:07,824 --> 04:34:08,525
food from gatherings, see

9198
04:34:08,525 --> 04:34:11,161
diverse spaces, feel the metal

9199
04:34:11,161 --> 04:34:11,862
of the slides and taste letters

9200
04:34:11,862 --> 04:34:12,562
from the palette that'll again

9201
04:34:12,562 --> 04:34:15,562
please fully restore the hours

9202
04:34:16,333 --> 04:34:17,330
for libraries Park and rec

9203
04:34:17,330 --> 04:34:17,801
centers and thank you for what

9204
04:34:17,801 --> 04:34:21,304
you have been able to restore

9205
04:34:21,304 --> 04:34:23,304
so far.

9206
04:34:26,376 --> 04:34:27,110
Hello City COUNCILMAN Inspector

9207
04:34:27,110 --> 04:34:27,777
Ponti and the organizer of

9208
04:34:27,777 --> 04:34:28,478
Mid-City can where I've had

9209
04:34:28,478 --> 04:34:30,647
the pleasure working with our

9210
04:34:30,647 --> 04:34:31,415
youth council since 2018.

9211
04:34:31,415 --> 04:34:32,149
Since then many of them have

9212
04:34:32,149 --> 04:34:36,349
grown up and I'm happy to say

9213
04:34:36,653 --> 04:34:37,187
that they're all doing well So

9214
04:34:37,187 --> 04:34:37,887
have continued their

9215
04:34:37,887 --> 04:34:38,588
involvement committee work and

9216
04:34:38,588 --> 04:34:39,289
now actually going back a trip

9217
04:34:39,289 --> 04:34:40,190
contributed to their community

9218
04:34:40,190 --> 04:34:40,957
in their own ways.

9219
04:34:40,957 --> 04:34:41,658
They are just a handful of

9220
04:34:41,658 --> 04:34:42,359
examples So it's possible when

9221
04:34:42,359 --> 04:34:44,394
you invest in youth and set up

9222
04:34:44,394 --> 04:34:44,995
them to succeed that

9223
04:34:44,995 --> 04:34:45,662
achievements demonstrate

9224
04:34:45,662 --> 04:34:46,263
the incredible potential of

9225
04:34:46,263 --> 04:34:48,663
young people when given

9226
04:34:50,100 --> 04:34:50,667
opportunities and support And I

9227
04:34:50,667 --> 04:34:51,367
believe their ongoing

9228
04:34:51,367 --> 04:34:52,102
contributions will continue to

9229
04:34:52,102 --> 04:34:52,603
positively impact our community

9230
04:34:52,603 --> 04:34:55,300
for years to come.

9231
04:34:55,839 --> 04:34:56,440
However, I believe the city

9232
04:34:56,440 --> 04:34:57,140
offering to support and

9233
04:34:57,140 --> 04:34:57,741
contribute them and contribute

9234
04:34:57,741 --> 04:35:00,141
to them by successfully

9235
04:35:00,877 --> 04:35:01,578
restoring that by fully

9236
04:35:01,578 --> 04:35:02,312
restoring the proposed cuts to

9237
04:35:02,312 --> 04:35:05,648
the Office of Child and Success

9238
04:35:05,648 --> 04:35:06,249
Centers children Our youth and

9239
04:35:06,249 --> 04:35:06,750
youth deserve more than

9240
04:35:06,750 --> 04:35:08,750
symbolic support.

9241
04:35:10,120 --> 04:35:10,821
There's a visible permanent and

9242
04:35:10,821 --> 04:35:11,421
adequately funded office that

9243
04:35:11,421 --> 04:35:12,156
can coordinate services,

9244
04:35:12,156 --> 04:35:14,556
leverage additional funding and

9245
04:35:14,858 --> 04:35:15,559
ensure their their needs remain

9246
04:35:15,559 --> 04:35:19,159
at the center of city policy.

9247
04:35:20,898 --> 04:35:21,498
We just got a chance to go last

9248
04:35:21,498 --> 04:35:22,199
week with our youth to

9249
04:35:22,199 --> 04:35:25,402
the event that they hosted in

9250
04:35:25,402 --> 04:35:26,103
those beautiful I see so many

9251
04:35:26,103 --> 04:35:26,804
youth there in the space just

9252
04:35:26,804 --> 04:35:28,872
being able to gather once they

9253
04:35:28,872 --> 04:35:29,573
amongst each other have been

9254
04:35:29,573 --> 04:35:30,240
able to connect, being able to

9255
04:35:30,240 --> 04:35:30,940
see the different resources

9256
04:35:30,940 --> 04:35:34,178
that are available to them in

9257
04:35:34,178 --> 04:35:34,845
the city And this isn't

9258
04:35:34,845 --> 04:35:35,479
possible without that office

9259
04:35:35,479 --> 04:35:36,180
putting that together and

9260
04:35:36,180 --> 04:35:38,716
coordinating that I know that

9261
04:35:38,716 --> 04:35:39,316
there's funding is limited so I

9262
04:35:39,316 --> 04:35:39,950
would recommend cutting

9263
04:35:39,950 --> 04:35:42,350
the proposed block funding

9264
04:35:43,587 --> 04:35:44,355
that's going there.

9265
04:35:44,355 --> 04:35:44,822
We've seen that only harming

9266
04:35:44,822 --> 04:35:45,723
our communities.

9267
04:35:45,723 --> 04:35:48,192
We wanted to ensure that we can

9268
04:35:48,192 --> 04:35:48,759
distribute the money from there

9269
04:35:48,759 --> 04:35:51,159
to the youth instead.

9270
04:35:52,262 --> 04:35:53,230
Thank you.

9271
04:35:53,230 --> 04:35:56,230
>> Okay We are grateful for

9272
04:35:58,168 --> 04:35:58,769
the restoration and to parks

9273
04:35:58,769 --> 04:35:59,436
that my colleague Paloma

9274
04:35:59,436 --> 04:36:02,436
already mentioned but we are

9275
04:36:03,240 --> 04:36:03,841
also still disappointed and sad

9276
04:36:03,841 --> 04:36:06,777
by the remaining cuts to

9277
04:36:06,777 --> 04:36:07,444
the Parks Department

9278
04:36:07,444 --> 04:36:08,112
specifically three positions

9279
04:36:08,112 --> 04:36:10,980
which are to park designers

9280
04:36:10,980 --> 04:36:11,616
which each cost 170,000 per

9281
04:36:11,616 --> 04:36:14,160
position with overhead and

9282
04:36:15,920 --> 04:36:16,654
the assistant deputy director

9283
04:36:16,654 --> 04:36:17,388
Parks infrastructure and assets

9284
04:36:17,388 --> 04:36:20,388
220 k per year The park

9285
04:36:21,259 --> 04:36:21,959
designers are part of the asset

9286
04:36:21,959 --> 04:36:24,959
management team led by Deputy

9287
04:36:25,162 --> 04:36:25,930
Director Michelle Obama, Sean

9288
04:36:25,930 --> 04:36:26,630
They play a vital role in

9289
04:36:26,630 --> 04:36:29,630
the delivery of minor capital

9290
04:36:30,234 --> 04:36:30,967
projects in-house design in

9291
04:36:30,967 --> 04:36:31,802
project completion in a shorter

9292
04:36:31,802 --> 04:36:34,939
amount of time and less cost by

9293
04:36:34,939 --> 04:36:35,605
eliminate these positions you

9294
04:36:35,605 --> 04:36:37,605
are effectively outsourcing

9295
04:36:39,877 --> 04:36:40,411
their jobs to consult and

9296
04:36:40,411 --> 04:36:41,780
contracts which are

9297
04:36:41,780 --> 04:36:43,780
significantly more expensive

9298
04:36:44,849 --> 04:36:45,816
and take much longer.

9299
04:36:45,816 --> 04:36:48,286
For example on Wall Street Park

9300
04:36:48,286 --> 04:36:49,530
Playground Improvement 95 k

9301
04:36:49,530 --> 04:36:52,923
Parks and Rec cost in lieu of

9302
04:36:52,923 --> 04:36:53,624
acp Playground improvement cost

9303
04:36:53,624 --> 04:36:56,240
of 3 million ib scripts

9304
04:36:56,761 --> 04:36:57,628
Sidewalk widening 290 k Parks

9305
04:36:57,628 --> 04:36:59,897
and rec costs in lieu of acp

9306
04:36:59,897 --> 04:37:00,631
estimated cost of 3.2 million

9307
04:37:00,631 --> 04:37:03,631
The Parks Asset Management team

9308
04:37:04,268 --> 04:37:04,936
works so effectively with

9309
04:37:04,936 --> 04:37:05,636
the community and nonprofits

9310
04:37:05,636 --> 04:37:08,636
that they produce high quality

9311
04:37:10,274 --> 04:37:11,800
park designs in do it as a

9312
04:37:11,800 --> 04:37:11,808
front at a fraction of the cost

9313
04:37:11,808 --> 04:37:14,579
that acp does it That's how we

9314
04:37:14,579 --> 04:37:17,579
got Henwood Park done for

9315
04:37:18,248 --> 04:37:18,950
the first two years This team

9316
04:37:18,950 --> 04:37:19,650
oversees 1.2 billion worth of

9317
04:37:19,650 --> 04:37:22,650
capital projects with the acp

9318
04:37:23,200 --> 04:37:23,688
Department in over 30 million

9319
04:37:23,688 --> 04:37:26,880
of privately delivered parks

9320
04:37:27,492 --> 04:37:28,192
and amenities.

9321
04:37:28,192 --> 04:37:31,192
They also manage and oversee

9322
04:37:32,697 --> 04:37:33,364
134 million grant funds outside

9323
04:37:33,364 --> 04:37:36,364
funding coming into the city

9324
04:37:37,435 --> 04:37:38,169
for Parks and Rec The moment

9325
04:37:38,169 --> 04:37:38,836
you approved this budget today

9326
04:37:38,836 --> 04:37:41,836
you just made repairs more

9327
04:37:42,340 --> 04:37:42,940
expensive on less.

9328
04:37:42,940 --> 04:37:45,340
Unless you restore these

9329
04:37:46,944 --> 04:37:47,645
positions I ask you to at least

9330
04:37:47,645 --> 04:37:48,345
restore the Deputy director to

9331
04:37:48,345 --> 04:37:51,345
keep the asset management team

9332
04:37:51,849 --> 04:37:52,784
operational.

9333
04:37:52,784 --> 04:37:53,518
Please pick up your pen so that

9334
04:37:53,518 --> 04:37:57,210
you can write this down and add

9335
04:37:57,210 --> 04:37:57,688
it to the budget 220 k to

9336
04:37:57,688 --> 04:38:00,880
restore the Assistant Deputy

9337
04:38:01,693 --> 04:38:02,393
Director of Parks

9338
04:38:02,393 --> 04:38:03,600
Infrastructure and Assets Can

9339
04:38:03,600 --> 04:38:03,428
you do this for our youth in

9340
04:38:03,428 --> 04:38:05,428
our parks?

9341
04:38:08,933 --> 04:38:09,868
Thank you.

9342
04:38:09,868 --> 04:38:14,680
I don't have a script or notes

9343
04:38:14,105 --> 04:38:14,805
so I'm just going um this

9344
04:38:14,805 --> 04:38:15,607
the first time I heard about

9345
04:38:15,607 --> 04:38:18,607
these cameras which is where

9346
04:38:19,744 --> 04:38:20,445
because they're going to record

9347
04:38:20,445 --> 04:38:22,845
every single every single

9348
04:38:24,415 --> 04:38:27,415
citizen's of San Diego or

9349
04:38:28,753 --> 04:38:31,753
wherever and we should every

9350
04:38:33,258 --> 04:38:36,858
single one of us should know

9351
04:38:36,962 --> 04:38:37,762
that we are being recorded and

9352
04:38:37,762 --> 04:38:41,362
every single one of us should

9353
04:38:42,000 --> 04:38:42,667
know that we there are votes

9354
04:38:42,667 --> 04:38:45,670
going without us knowing

9355
04:38:47,405 --> 04:38:48,172
because we are a member of this

9356
04:38:48,172 --> 04:38:51,172
community and we deserve to

9357
04:38:52,711 --> 04:38:53,111
know and it should be

9358
04:38:53,111 --> 04:38:53,678
everywhere.

9359
04:38:53,678 --> 04:38:55,678
Everyone should have.

9360
04:38:57,282 --> 04:38:58,830
These are information.

9361
04:38:58,830 --> 04:39:01,830
It should be on billboards.

9362
04:39:02,287 --> 04:39:02,988
People should if they know

9363
04:39:02,988 --> 04:39:06,588
there would be lines and lines

9364
04:39:06,925 --> 04:39:08,727
and lines of people go in here

9365
04:39:08,727 --> 04:39:12,927
And that's all I have for you.

9366
04:39:14,466 --> 04:39:14,866

>> Kaley, please proceed.

9379
04:39:35,200 --> 04:39:37,200
Hello council members.

9380
04:39:38,623 --> 04:39:39,357
My name is Katie Flores and I'm

9381
04:39:39,357 --> 04:39:39,791
here with Ace and the Community

9382
04:39:39,791 --> 04:39:41,791
Budget Lions.

9383
04:39:42,526 --> 04:39:43,127
So firstly thank you for

9384
04:39:43,127 --> 04:39:43,829
starting to show support

9385
04:39:43,829 --> 04:39:47,429
towards the youth of San Diego

9386
04:39:47,532 --> 04:39:48,266
by starting the restoration of

9387
04:39:48,266 --> 04:39:51,637
the parks and starting the fund

9388
04:39:51,637 --> 04:39:52,504
the youth and arts But I'm also

9389
04:39:52,504 --> 04:39:52,838
here to plead with you all to

9390
04:39:52,838 --> 04:39:53,605
do more.

9391
04:39:53,605 --> 04:39:56,808
Not only should San Diego be

9392
04:39:56,808 --> 04:39:57,476
focusing more on funding our

9393
04:39:57,476 --> 04:39:58,177
youth, giving them resources

9394
04:39:58,177 --> 04:40:01,177
and opportunities to grow but

9395
04:40:01,246 --> 04:40:01,947
that includes providing funding

9396
04:40:01,947 --> 04:40:02,647
towards places where they can

9397
04:40:02,647 --> 04:40:05,470
feel safe Libraries, community

9398
04:40:06,385 --> 04:40:06,952
resource centers Majority of

9399
04:40:06,952 --> 04:40:09,352
the proposed budget is

9400
04:40:11,423 --> 04:40:12,124
allocated to public safety or I

9401
04:40:12,124 --> 04:40:12,457
should say a version of public

9402
04:40:12,457 --> 04:40:14,457
safety.

9403
04:40:16,195 --> 04:40:16,896
Definitely not my version

9404
04:40:16,896 --> 04:40:17,563
because my version of public

9405
04:40:17,563 --> 04:40:21,163
safety is being able to walk

9406
04:40:21,167 --> 04:40:21,867
the streets without fear of ice

9407
04:40:21,867 --> 04:40:22,267
attacks to the people in our

9408
04:40:22,267 --> 04:40:22,901
communities.

9409
04:40:22,901 --> 04:40:25,901
The data tracking the mass

9410
04:40:26,638 --> 04:40:27,305
surveillance and stalking I'm

9411
04:40:27,305 --> 04:40:30,305
pleading with you to cancel

9412
04:40:30,609 --> 04:40:31,210
your contract with Block

9413
04:40:31,210 --> 04:40:31,944
allocate those funds and

9414
04:40:31,944 --> 04:40:34,645
resources to the youth instead.

9415
04:40:34,645 --> 04:40:36,645
Thank you.

9416
04:40:39,985 --> 04:40:40,819
>> Ashley Leyva.

9417
04:40:40,819 --> 04:40:41,154
>> Good afternoon City Council

9418
04:40:41,154 --> 04:40:43,154
members.

9419
04:40:44,757 --> 04:40:45,357
My name is Ashley Labor and I

9420
04:40:45,357 --> 04:40:46,191
live in District eight.

9421
04:40:46,191 --> 04:40:46,892
I am a member of ace and a

9422
04:40:46,892 --> 04:40:49,428
member of the Community Budget

9423
04:40:49,428 --> 04:40:50,229
Alliance.

9424
04:40:50,229 --> 04:40:50,929
I am here as a concerned

9425
04:40:50,929 --> 04:40:53,329
community member and educator.

9426
04:40:54,700 --> 04:40:55,400
The arts It's incredibly,

9427
04:40:55,400 --> 04:40:56,670
incredibly important to me and

9428
04:40:56,670 --> 04:40:58,467
many other committee members

9429
04:40:59,437 --> 04:40:59,938
because of the immense positive

9430
04:40:59,938 --> 04:41:00,605
impact it has on

9431
04:41:00,605 --> 04:41:03,500
the development of children.

9432
04:41:04,577 --> 04:41:08,547
I don't oh I know I don't have

9433
04:41:08,547 --> 04:41:09,147
to explain the benefits that

9434
04:41:09,147 --> 04:41:09,815
the arts and other youth

9435
04:41:09,815 --> 04:41:12,815
programs have in a community

9436
04:41:13,652 --> 04:41:14,220
but the disadvantage of block

9437
04:41:14,220 --> 04:41:14,920
and the flawed police

9438
04:41:14,920 --> 04:41:17,320
department present presence is

9439
04:41:18,691 --> 04:41:19,258
concerning especially when

9440
04:41:19,258 --> 04:41:19,892
the already target art

9441
04:41:19,892 --> 04:41:21,892
disenfranchized youth and

9442
04:41:23,229 --> 04:41:23,995
communities funding floc will

9443
04:41:23,995 --> 04:41:25,300
be a failure on your part.

9444
04:41:25,300 --> 04:41:28,167
I urge you to not fund floc and

9445
04:41:28,167 --> 04:41:28,834
instead invest in

9446
04:41:28,834 --> 04:41:29,534
the well-being and future of

9447
04:41:29,534 --> 04:41:31,804
our children and communities.

9448
04:41:31,804 --> 04:41:33,804
Thank you.

9449
04:41:36,876 --> 04:41:37,543
And I'm Ramos.

9450

04:41:42,314 --> 04:41:45,314
a's and a member of

9454
04:41:46,285 --> 04:41:47,253
the Committee on Budget Lines.

9455
04:41:47,253 --> 04:41:47,953
I want to start off by thanking

9456
04:41:47,953 --> 04:41:50,690
you for restoring the funding

9457
04:41:50,690 --> 04:41:51,357
for arts and culture like

9458
04:41:51,357 --> 04:41:52,240
genuinely these are the city

9459
04:41:52,240 --> 04:41:54,424
resources actually keep our

9460
04:41:55,828 --> 04:41:56,528
community safe because it

9461
04:41:56,528 --> 04:41:57,263
allows for people to build a

9462
04:41:57,263 --> 04:42:00,263
genuine sense of community with

9463
04:42:00,800 --> 04:42:01,534
each other instead of fostering

9464
04:42:01,534 --> 04:42:02,167
a growing isolation and hate

9465
04:42:02,167 --> 04:42:02,535
that leads to the violence

9466
04:42:02,535 --> 04:42:04,535
around us.

9467
04:42:06,572 --> 04:42:07,340
But it is the bare minimum And

9468
04:42:07,340 --> 04:42:08,600
what we also need is to cancel

9469
04:42:08,600 --> 04:42:11,600
the contract with the block

9470
04:42:11,430 --> 04:42:11,644
This company has already

9471
04:42:11,644 --> 04:42:12,378
violated public trust by

9472
04:42:12,378 --> 04:42:15,381
sharing our private data so why

9473
04:42:15,381 --> 04:42:16,148
should we keep throwing away

9474
04:42:16,148 --> 04:42:16,816
millions of tax dollars to fund

9475
04:42:16,816 --> 04:42:19,216
a violent mass surveillance

9476
04:42:20,720 --> 04:42:21,154
technology that targets working

9477
04:42:21,154 --> 04:42:21,887
class people?

9478
04:42:21,887 --> 04:42:24,887
>> And also this budget deficit

9479
04:42:25,758 --> 04:42:26,359
will continue until we hold

9480
04:42:26,359 --> 04:42:27,590
corporations like Flagg

9481
04:42:27,590 --> 04:42:29,459
accountable who are profiting

9482
04:42:30,263 --> 04:42:30,897
and weaponizing their

9483
04:42:30,897 --> 04:42:31,564
technology against us and

9484
04:42:31,564 --> 04:42:32,980
corporations like core civic

9485
04:42:32,980 --> 04:42:34,980
accountable who keep

9486
04:42:35,680 --> 04:42:35,767
dehumanized immigrants and are

9487
04:42:35,767 --> 04:42:36,302
continually allowed to profit

9488
04:42:36,302 --> 04:42:38,702
off of violence and

9489
04:42:39,472 --> 04:42:39,972
exploitations of human beings.

9490
04:42:39,972 --> 04:42:40,373
>> Thank you.

9491
04:42:40,373 --> 04:42:42,373
Thank you.

9492
04:42:44,577 --> 04:42:45,311
No Hayek.

9493
04:42:45,311 --> 04:42:45,645
>> Good afternoon Council

9494
04:42:45,645 --> 04:42:47,645
members.

9495
04:42:49,415 --> 04:42:50,116
My name is No I'm a researcher

9496
04:42:50,116 --> 04:42:50,783
with the Center on Policy

9497
04:42:50,783 --> 04:42:51,484
Initiatives and a member of

9498
04:42:51,484 --> 04:42:53,884
the Community Budget Alliance.

9499
04:42:54,320 --> 04:42:55,870
How many stories does it take

9500
04:42:55,870 --> 04:42:58,687
for you to see, listen and

9501
04:42:58,958 --> 04:42:59,626
value someone?

9502
04:42:59,626 --> 04:43:00,293
Hundreds of San Diegans have

9503
04:43:00,293 --> 04:43:00,960
told you their stories this

9504
04:43:00,960 --> 04:43:03,863
year sometimes about the joy

9505
04:43:03,863 --> 04:43:04,529
they find through parks,

9506
04:43:04,529 --> 04:43:05,231
libraries and arts sometimes

9507
04:43:05,231 --> 04:43:07,901
about the challenges they face

9508
04:43:07,901 --> 04:43:08,468
as young people in this city

9509
04:43:08,468 --> 04:43:09,168
with dwindling support

9510
04:43:09,168 --> 04:43:12,168
sometimes about the sorrow and

9511
04:43:12,607 --> 04:43:13,339
anxiety of flooding every time

9512
04:43:13,339 --> 04:43:16,939
it rains always about what they

9513
04:43:17,444 --> 04:43:18,111
need from this city to thrive.

9514
04:43:18,111 --> 04:43:18,845
Our communities have made it

9515
04:43:18,845 --> 04:43:21,245
clear that more criminalization

9516
04:43:22,150 --> 04:43:22,716
and surveillance do not keep us

9517
04:43:22,716 --> 04:43:23,517
safe or help us thrive.

9518
04:43:23,517 --> 04:43:23,883
What I'm asking you to do is

9519
04:43:23,883 --> 04:43:25,883
your job.

9520
04:43:27,587 --> 04:43:28,321
Listen to San Diegans not to

9521
04:43:28,321 --> 04:43:28,855
corporations money or your next

9522
04:43:28,855 --> 04:43:30,855
political ambition.

9523
04:43:32,250 --> 04:43:32,659
Listen to San Diegans.

9524
04:43:32,659 --> 04:43:33,930
Value our experiences and

9525
04:43:33,930 --> 04:43:35,930
invest in us.

9526
04:43:36,929 --> 04:43:37,597
Cancel the contract fund Youth

9527
04:43:37,597 --> 04:43:38,297
Success Libraries, Parks and

9528
04:43:38,297 --> 04:43:40,697
Rec the stormwater department

9529
04:43:41,935 --> 04:43:42,536
and install the pedestrian

9530
04:43:42,536 --> 04:43:42,936
beacon near Rosa Parks

9531
04:43:42,936 --> 04:43:43,603
Elementary.

9532
04:43:43,603 --> 04:43:44,237
>> San Diegans have told you

9533
04:43:44,237 --> 04:43:47,237
what they need to thrive.

9534
04:43:47,374 --> 04:43:47,741
Now show us you've been

9535
04:43:47,741 --> 04:43:48,475
listening.

9536
04:43:48,475 --> 04:43:50,875
>> Thank you, Jenny Co-Founder

9537
04:43:52,712 --> 04:43:53,379
Jenny you have time ceded to

9538
04:43:53,379 --> 04:43:54,460
you by Chris Kennison If you

9539
04:43:54,460 --> 04:43:57,646
can please raise his hand as

9540
04:43:58,184 --> 04:43:58,551
well as it's my order.

9541
04:43:58,551 --> 04:43:59,185
Thank you.

9542
04:43:59,185 --> 04:44:01,585
You'll have three minutes.

9543
04:44:03,457 --> 04:44:04,224
Please proceed when ready.

9544
04:44:04,224 --> 04:44:05,192
How come I met you too?

9545
04:44:05,192 --> 04:44:07,627
Anyway, I am Janika Addie for

9546
04:44:07,627 --> 04:44:08,194
resident with a lie in San

9547
04:44:08,194 --> 04:44:08,896
Diego and a member of

9548
04:44:08,896 --> 04:44:11,296
the Community Budget Alliance.

9549
04:44:11,598 --> 04:44:12,332
We all know San Diego is prone

9550
04:44:12,332 --> 04:44:12,866
to floods especially in black,

9551
04:44:12,866 --> 04:44:13,266
brown and low income

9552
04:44:13,266 --> 04:44:15,266
communities.

9553
04:44:15,869 --> 04:44:16,503
We did the work to prove our

9554
04:44:16,503 --> 04:44:17,103
communities are asking for

9555
04:44:17,103 --> 04:44:17,470
prevention of any future

9556
04:44:17,470 --> 04:44:19,470
disasters.

9557
04:44:20,600 --> 04:44:20,707
We stand here more than two

9558
04:44:20,707 --> 04:44:21,374
years later on the fence about

9559
04:44:21,374 --> 04:44:23,374
about providing preventative

9560
04:44:25,345 --> 04:44:26,460
funding in communities we have

9561
04:44:26,460 --> 04:44:28,460
seen historically underfunded,

9562
04:44:30,649 --> 04:44:31,251
undervalued and overpoliced.

9563
04:44:31,251 --> 04:44:31,918
What are we saying to

9564
04:44:31,918 --> 04:44:34,918
communities that had to swim

9565
04:44:35,550 --> 04:44:35,722
through sewage to rescue their

9566
04:44:35,722 --> 04:44:38,722
neighbors And after the city

9567
04:44:40,559 --> 04:44:41,261
had been warned numerous times

9568
04:44:41,261 --> 04:44:41,595
and those those warnings were

9569
04:44:41,595 --> 04:44:42,162
ignored?

9570
04:44:42,162 --> 04:44:44,562
The warnings came from

9571
04:44:44,965 --> 04:44:45,666
the storm water department,

9572
04:44:45,666 --> 04:44:46,399
the aba and many other city

9573
04:44:46,399 --> 04:44:48,799
officials is cutting stormwater

9574
04:44:49,669 --> 04:44:50,369
funding how you honor and

9575
04:44:50,369 --> 04:44:53,369
uplift human dignity of those

9576
04:44:54,407 --> 04:44:55,750
flood survivors.

9577
04:44:55,750 --> 04:44:55,609
We cannot continue to run

9578
04:44:55,609 --> 04:44:58,609
the city as we have.

9579
04:44:58,679 --> 04:44:59,379
Council members It's your most

9580
04:44:59,379 --> 04:44:59,880
important job is to listen to

9581
04:44:59,880 --> 04:45:01,880
your constituents.

9582
04:45:03,817 --> 04:45:04,484
Only four of you have heard our

9583
04:45:04,484 --> 04:45:04,818
calls and have finally stood

9584
04:45:04,818 --> 04:45:05,185
with us.

9585
04:45:05,185 --> 04:45:07,185
Thank you.

9586
04:45:08,756 --> 04:45:09,556
Ella Rivera, Foster Lee and

9587
04:45:09,556 --> 04:45:13,260
Moreno for calling out what has

9588
04:45:13,260 --> 04:45:13,327
been in front of us for so

9589
04:45:13,327 --> 04:45:15,327
long.

9590
04:45:16,763 --> 04:45:17,431
We are wasting $2 million

9591
04:45:17,431 --> 04:45:18,130
annually to fuel ineffective

9592
04:45:18,130 --> 04:45:20,530
and overpriced technology that

9593
04:45:22,202 --> 04:45:22,869
solves less than 1% of crimes.

9594
04:45:22,869 --> 04:45:25,269
Instead of thinking through

9595
04:45:26,373 --> 04:45:27,740
real solutions that will bring

9596
04:45:27,740 --> 04:45:27,776
back resources and trust into

9597
04:45:27,776 --> 04:45:31,376
our communities to the rest of

9598
04:45:32,790 --> 04:45:35,679
you especially those of you who

9599
04:45:35,849 --> 04:45:36,649
are running for other seats and

9600
04:45:36,649 --> 04:45:37,351
that are up for reelection We

9601
04:45:37,351 --> 04:45:40,351
remember we will remember this

9602
04:45:41,121 --> 04:45:41,855
when we go to vote.

9603
04:45:41,855 --> 04:45:42,556
Instead of funding rec centers,

9604
04:45:42,556 --> 04:45:43,223
libraries and parks, you have

9605
04:45:43,223 --> 04:45:45,893
sat through hours of public

9606
04:45:45,893 --> 04:45:46,627
comment and ignored us.

9607
04:45:46,627 --> 04:45:47,194
You have an opportunity today

9608
04:45:47,194 --> 04:45:50,194
to do the right thing.

9609
04:45:50,931 --> 04:45:51,632
We are living through history

9610
04:45:51,632 --> 04:45:52,232
and the city of San Diego has

9611
04:45:52,232 --> 04:45:52,833
the opportunity to take

9612
04:45:52,833 --> 04:45:55,402
the lead in the state of

9613
04:45:55,402 --> 04:45:55,803
California and the rest of

9614
04:45:55,803 --> 04:45:56,503
the country.

9615
04:45:56,503 --> 04:45:57,137
Today you can follow the aba's

9616
04:45:57,137 --> 04:45:59,137
recommendations to reject

9617
04:46:00,374 --> 04:46:01,740
surveillance dollars in our

9618
04:46:01,740 --> 04:46:01,776
city budget and say no to

9619
04:46:01,776 --> 04:46:02,476
the big corporations that are

9620
04:46:02,476 --> 04:46:04,876
targeting our communities and

9621
04:46:05,110 --> 04:46:05,779
further damaging our city.

9622
04:46:05,779 --> 04:46:09,379
We need bold ideas and real

9623
04:46:10,117 --> 04:46:10,517
investments in our people, not

9624
04:46:10,517 --> 04:46:11,151
punishment.

9625
04:46:11,151 --> 04:46:11,851
Please act now and uplift

9626
04:46:11,851 --> 04:46:13,887
the people's budget and modify

9627
04:46:13,887 --> 04:46:14,487
the budget to reflect

9628
04:46:14,487 --> 04:46:16,887
the people's true needs.

9629
04:46:18,726 --> 04:46:19,593
And with that we will again do

9630
04:46:19,593 --> 04:46:22,593
a moment of silence for

9631
04:47:05,473 --> 04:47:05,772
the flood survivors

9632
04:47:05,772 --> 04:47:07,772
.

9633
04:47:10,578 --> 04:47:11,546
>> Patricia Madrigal.

9634
04:47:11,546 --> 04:47:14,546
>> After Patricia will be in

9635
04:47:15,883 --> 04:47:16,316
Cervello Beth Givens.

9636
04:47:16,316 --> 04:47:18,316
Claire Snyder.

9637
04:47:20,488 --> 04:47:21,870
Juan Cordero.

9638
04:47:21,870 --> 04:47:21,622
Cristina Garibay Taylor.

9639
04:47:21,622 --> 04:47:23,622
Maria Lorena Garcia.

9640
04:47:26,526 --> 04:47:27,280
Franco de Mayo.

9641
04:47:27,280 --> 04:47:29,280
And Ian Embry.

9642
04:47:30,865 --> 04:47:31,599
If you can all please come up

9643
04:47:31,599 --> 04:47:32,436
to the front row now Patricia

9644
04:47:32,436 --> 04:47:35,200
you have time ceded to you by

9645
04:47:35,200 --> 04:47:35,469
Olivia Castillo.

9646
04:47:35,469 --> 04:47:36,700
>> Thank you.

9647
04:47:36,700 --> 04:47:36,537
You'll have two minutes.

9648
04:47:36,537 --> 04:47:37,400
Please proceed.

9649
04:47:37,400 --> 04:47:39,400
Good afternoon.

9650
04:47:40,700 --> 04:47:40,675
Council members Patricia

9651
04:47:40,675 --> 04:47:41,208
Mondragon with Alliance San

9652
04:47:41,208 --> 04:47:43,608
Diego, a member of

9653
04:47:44,979 --> 04:47:45,680
the Community Budget Alliance

9654
04:47:45,680 --> 04:47:46,247
Trustee Coalition and the San

9655

Diego Immigrant Rights

9656
04:47:46,647 --> 04:47:48,647
Consortium.

9657
04:47:50,551 --> 04:47:50,918
We are our District three

9658
04:47:50,918 --> 04:47:51,652
residents.

9659
04:47:51,652 --> 04:47:54,923
As you finalize this budget, we

9660
04:47:54,923 --> 04:47:55,657
urge you to invest in

9661
04:47:55,657 --> 04:47:56,391
the programs that protect human

9662
04:47:56,391 --> 04:47:56,758
rights and make our communities

9663
04:47:56,758 --> 04:47:58,758
stronger.

9664
04:48:00,194 --> 04:48:00,828
San Diego and have been clear

9665
04:48:00,828 --> 04:48:03,228
about what creates safety

9666
04:48:03,831 --> 04:48:04,599
stable housing, youth programs

9667
04:48:04,599 --> 04:48:05,166
,libraries, arts and cultural

9668
04:48:05,166 --> 04:48:07,166
services, homelessness

9669
04:48:09,103 --> 04:48:09,770
prevention and infrastructure

9670
04:48:09,770 --> 04:48:10,505
that protects families from

9671
04:48:10,505 --> 04:48:12,905
flooding and climate disasters.

9672
04:48:14,742 --> 04:48:15,376
Yet this budget underfund many

9673
04:48:15,376 --> 04:48:15,977
of those priorities while

9674
04:48:15,977 --> 04:48:18,377
continuing to invest in

9675
04:48:18,746 --> 04:48:19,446
policing and surveillance

9676
04:48:19,446 --> 04:48:21,846
technologies like Floc Alper.

9677
04:48:23,284 --> 04:48:26,284
>> Just a few minutes ago

9678
04:48:27,155 --> 04:48:27,789
Congress voted to add $70

9679
04:48:27,789 --> 04:48:28,122
billion for ice and Border

9680
04:48:28,122 --> 04:48:30,122
Patrol.

9681
04:48:33,528 --> 04:48:34,196
All of you expressed anger

9682
04:48:34,196 --> 04:48:34,496
after the Denver for cat ice

9683
04:48:34,496 --> 04:48:36,496
raid.

9684
04:48:37,731 --> 04:48:38,400
Today you can do something

9685
04:48:38,400 --> 04:48:38,767
about it by ending the pilot

9686
04:48:38,767 --> 04:48:40,767
contract.

9687
04:48:42,103 --> 04:48:42,837
>> We ask you to to to reject

9688
04:48:42,837 --> 04:48:45,837
the false choice between public

9689
04:48:46,874 --> 04:48:47,275
safety and community

9690
04:48:47,275 --> 04:48:47,842
investment.

9691
04:48:47,842 --> 04:48:48,443
Real safety comes from

9692
04:48:48,443 --> 04:48:50,443
preventing homelessness,

9693
04:48:51,780 --> 04:48:52,447
supporting young people,

9694
04:48:52,447 --> 04:48:53,114
keeping families housed and

9695
04:48:53,114 --> 04:48:53,848
ensuring neighborhoods have

9696
04:48:53,848 --> 04:48:56,848
the infrastructure they need to

9697
04:48:56,918 --> 04:48:57,752
withstand future disasters.

9698
04:48:57,752 --> 04:49:00,152
>> That means restoring funding

9699
04:49:02,890 --> 04:49:02,724
for community service and

9700
04:49:02,724 --> 04:49:05,124
the full $100 million for

9701
04:49:07,228 --> 04:49:08,196
stormwater infrastructure.

9702
04:49:08,196 --> 04:49:12,167
>> I want to end by saying my

9703
04:49:12,167 --> 04:49:12,934
niece is here with me today.

9704
04:49:12,934 --> 04:49:13,635
>> She's a rising sophomore in

9705
04:49:13,635 --> 04:49:14,102
high school at Senior Unified

9706
04:49:14,102 --> 04:49:16,102
School District.

9707
04:49:17,506 --> 04:49:17,845
This is her first city council

9708
04:49:17,845 --> 04:49:18,507
meeting.

9709
04:49:18,507 --> 04:49:21,408
She's not ready to speak yet

9710
04:49:21,408 --> 04:49:22,344
but she's watching.

9711
04:49:22,344 --> 04:49:25,944
She's watching to see what her

9712
04:49:26,615 --> 04:49:27,382
future is.

9713
04:49:27,382 --> 04:49:28,149
She's watching you guys to see

9714
04:49:28,149 --> 04:49:31,186
if you're going to invest in

9715
04:49:31,186 --> 04:49:31,620
her future or in more

9716
04:49:31,620 --> 04:49:32,320
surveillance.

9717
04:49:32,320 --> 04:49:35,791
I hope you choose people over

9718
04:49:35,791 --> 04:49:36,458
technology communities over

9719
04:49:36,458 --> 04:49:37,910
monitoring and adopt about a

9720
04:49:37,910 --> 04:49:40,910
budget that gives the next

9721
04:49:40,462 --> 04:49:40,862
generation a city where they

9722
04:49:40,862 --> 04:49:41,563
can thrive.

9723
04:49:41,563 --> 04:49:44,563
Thank you for that concluding

9724
04:49:44,766 --> 04:49:46,766
comment and Cervello.

9725
04:49:49,570 --> 04:49:50,339
>> Good afternoon everyone.

9726
04:49:50,339 --> 04:49:51,106
My name is Ian Sidwell.

9727
04:49:51,106 --> 04:49:54,309
I am a member of the Asia

9728
04:49:54,309 --> 04:49:55,277
Pacific American Labor Alliance

9729
04:49:55,277 --> 04:49:55,978
and I'm also the chairperson of

9730
04:49:55,978 --> 04:49:56,378
the San Diego Immigrant Rights

9731
04:49:56,378 --> 04:49:58,378
Consortium.

9732
04:50:00,470 --> 04:50:00,749
I am a practicing immigration

9733
04:50:00,749 --> 04:50:01,382
attorney that defends many of

9734
04:50:01,382 --> 04:50:03,782
our community members from

9735
04:50:05,200 --> 04:50:05,620
deportation every day I

9736
04:50:05,620 --> 04:50:06,355
interact with immigrant

9737
04:50:06,355 --> 04:50:09,355
families who are suffering from

9738
04:50:09,791 --> 04:50:10,525
this cruel mass deportation

9739
04:50:10,525 --> 04:50:11,292
policies of this administration

9740
04:50:11,292 --> 04:50:15,630
For over a year now the racist

9741
04:50:15,630 --> 04:50:15,764
Trump administration has

9742
04:50:15,764 --> 04:50:16,397
violently separated families,

9743
04:50:16,397 --> 04:50:18,397
kidnaped community members

9744
04:50:19,868 --> 04:50:20,469
surveilled and racially

9745
04:50:20,469 --> 04:50:21,203
profiled black and brown

9746
04:50:21,203 --> 04:50:23,603
communities, denied due process

9747
04:50:24,640 --> 04:50:25,207
and violated human rights of

9748
04:50:25,207 --> 04:50:25,774
our community members.

9749
04:50:25,774 --> 04:50:28,174
Now while the federal

9750
04:50:29,610 --> 04:50:30,279
government is intending to

9751
04:50:30,279 --> 04:50:31,130
intensify its attack of our

9752
04:50:31,130 --> 04:50:34,613
communities, is the city of San

9753
04:50:35,150 --> 04:50:35,717
Diego going to give them more

9754
04:50:35,717 --> 04:50:38,117
tools to conduct mass

9755
04:50:39,321 --> 04:50:40,122
surveillance on us in the city

9756
04:50:40,122 --> 04:50:40,756
of San Diego willing to be

9757
04:50:40,756 --> 04:50:43,156
complicit in these attacks

9758
04:50:44,260 --> 04:50:44,827
against communities of color?

9759
04:50:44,827 --> 04:50:45,360
You have a choice and I implore

9760
04:50:45,360 --> 04:50:45,761
you to invest in our

9761
04:50:45,761 --> 04:50:47,363
communities.

9762
04:50:47,363 --> 04:50:47,830
Thank you so much.

9763
04:50:47,830 --> 04:50:49,830
>> Thank you.

9764
04:50:57,340 --> 04:50:57,706
Beth Givens.

9765
04:50:57,706 --> 04:50:58,573
>> Yeah.

9766
04:50:58,573 --> 04:51:02,177
I urge you to cancel the flock

9767
04:51:02,177 --> 04:51:02,878
Ale pr contract to nearly 70

9768
04:51:02,878 --> 04:51:05,878
cities have done so including

9769
04:51:06,749 --> 04:51:07,483
seven in California primarily

9770
04:51:07,483 --> 04:51:08,117
for violating city data sharing

9771
04:51:08,117 --> 04:51:10,517
rules, inaccurate data and

9772
04:51:11,720 --> 04:51:12,354
residents objections to

9773
04:51:12,354 --> 04:51:14,354
warrantless surveillance.

9774
04:51:16,458 --> 04:51:17,259
A San Diego man was wrongfully

9775
04:51:17,259 --> 04:51:17,993
jailed for several weeks for a

9776
04:51:17,993 --> 04:51:21,593
violent crime he did not commit

9777
04:51:21,930 --> 04:51:22,364
because of erroneous data he's

9778
04:51:22,364 --> 04:51:22,998
likely to sue.

9779
04:51:22,998 --> 04:51:25,398
Such errors have occurred

9780
04:51:26,335 --> 04:51:27,360
elsewhere across the nation.

9781
04:51:27,360 --> 04:51:27,736
Further, the police department

9782
04:51:27,736 --> 04:51:31,336
kept one here captain here who

9783
04:51:31,340 --> 04:51:31,973
pushed hard for flock was hired

9784
04:51:31,973 --> 04:51:34,373
by flock upon retirement.

9785
04:51:36,212 --> 04:51:37,460
That is shady to say the least.

9786
04:51:37,460 --> 04:51:40,460
Flux technology is flawed and

9787
04:51:40,716 --> 04:51:41,449
its leadership has thumbed its

9788
04:51:41,449 --> 04:51:44,921
nose at city's rules by sharing

9789
04:51:44,921 --> 04:51:45,588
data with federal law

9790
04:51:45,588 --> 04:51:45,988
enforcement in violation of

9791
04:51:45,988 --> 04:51:47,988
local laws.

9792
04:51:50,590 --> 04:51:50,692
The fbi is now seeking real

9793
04:51:50,692 --> 04:51:53,692
time access to Alper data

9794
04:51:54,797 --> 04:51:55,231
nationwide According to recent

9795
04:51:55,231 --> 04:51:55,965
news reports.

9796
04:51:55,965 --> 04:51:56,832
The money spent on Floc 2

9797
04:51:56,832 --> 04:51:59,968
million a year could well be

9798
04:51:59,968 --> 04:52:00,503
allocated elsewhere.

9799
04:52:00,503 --> 04:52:00,903
>> Libraries.

9800
04:52:00,903 --> 04:52:01,270
Rec centers.

9801
04:52:01,270 --> 04:52:01,637
Thank you.

9802
04:52:01,637 --> 04:52:02,405
Thank you.

9803
04:52:02,405 --> 04:52:04,805

Next is a group that will be

9806
04:52:09,979 --> 04:52:10,713
sharing time but if they can

9807
04:52:10,713 --> 04:52:11,447
please raise their hand even if

9808
04:52:11,447 --> 04:52:12,180
they will be speaking so that I

9809
04:52:12,180 --> 04:52:15,118
can put that time on the clock

9810
04:52:15,118 --> 04:52:15,651
and I understand you have a

9811
04:52:15,651 --> 04:52:16,386
PowerPoint as well.

9812

Thank you.

9823
04:52:39,108 --> 04:52:41,508
You'll have nine minutes.

Please proceed.

9825
04:52:42,245 --> 04:52:42,912
Hello.

9828
04:52:47,483 --> 04:52:48,184
these past few months you have

9829
04:52:48,184 --> 04:52:48,751
heard from each of us on

9830
04:52:48,751 --> 04:52:51,151
the importance and on

9831
04:52:51,821 --> 04:52:52,522
the importance of investing in

youth through Aussie whilst at

9833
04:52:53,189 --> 04:52:53,890
youth level We believe that

9834
04:52:53,890 --> 04:52:56,559
every young person should have

9835
04:52:56,559 --> 04:52:57,260
everything that they need to be

9836
04:52:57,260 --> 04:52:57,727
happy, healthy and reach their

9837
04:52:57,727 --> 04:52:59,727
full potential.

9838
04:53:00,290 --> 04:53:00,763
One way of ensuring that vision

9839
04:53:00,763 --> 04:53:04,363
is by having committed staff at

9840
04:53:04,466 --> 04:53:05,201
the city of San Diego dedicated

9841
04:53:05,201 --> 04:53:07,601
to driving critical investments

9842
04:53:09,138 --> 04:53:09,805
in child care accessibility,

9843
04:53:09,805 --> 04:53:10,273
youth leadership and family

9844
04:53:10,273 --> 04:53:10,973
support systems.

9845
04:53:10,973 --> 04:53:13,373
Everything mentioned above is

9846
04:53:14,409 --> 04:53:15,770
what Aussie Wales accomplishes

9847
04:53:15,770 --> 04:53:15,812
and more as outlined in its

9848
04:53:15,812 --> 04:53:19,412
specific goals in the Child and

9849
04:53:19,582 --> 04:53:20,283
Youth Plan which was recently

9850
04:53:20,283 --> 04:53:20,650
unanimously adopted by council

9851
04:53:20,650 --> 04:53:22,650
last year.

9852
04:53:24,421 --> 04:53:25,121
Aussie Why I got pushed into

9853
04:53:25,121 --> 04:53:28,121
the library department to save

9854
04:53:28,624 --> 04:53:29,326
money while also stripping away

9855
04:53:29,326 --> 04:53:29,993
its autonomy to actually have

9856
04:53:29,993 --> 04:53:31,993
effective interdepartmental

9857
04:53:33,963 --> 04:53:34,631
communication and

9858
04:53:34,631 --> 04:53:35,231
collaborations that persist.

9859
04:53:35,231 --> 04:53:37,231
Positionality this year

9860
04:53:38,769 --> 04:53:39,469
translated into a hasty

9861
04:53:39,469 --> 04:53:40,136
decision at the Mayor's office

9862
04:53:40,136 --> 04:53:42,536
office which was eliminating

9863
04:53:43,572 --> 04:53:44,274
Ozawa as completely.

9864
04:53:44,274 --> 04:53:44,741
Currently we know six council

9865
04:53:44,741 --> 04:53:46,741
members support

9866
04:53:49,646 --> 04:53:50,412
the preservation of Aussie

9867
04:53:50,412 --> 04:53:51,147
wires and we thank you for it

9868
04:53:51,147 --> 04:53:53,116
because today's fight is ensure

9869
04:53:53,116 --> 04:53:53,483
that the office doesn't

9870
04:53:53,483 --> 04:53:54,184
disappear.

9871
04:53:54,184 --> 04:53:54,718
Children and youth should also

9872
04:53:54,718 --> 04:53:56,419
be a commitment for

9873
04:53:56,419 --> 04:53:58,819
the remaining council members

9874
04:54:01,391 --> 04:54:01,725
and I'll pass it over to Claire

9875
04:54:01,725 --> 04:54:02,392
.

9876
04:54:02,392 --> 04:54:02,692

9877
04:54:02,692 --> 04:54:02,993

9878
04:54:02,993 --> 04:54:04,993
Sorry.

9879

9881
04:54:08,310 --> 04:54:08,731
Child and Youth success proved

9882
04:54:08,731 --> 04:54:09,990
exactly why they are vital to

9883
04:54:09,990 --> 04:54:11,990
our city.

9884
04:54:11,601 --> 04:54:12,302
They hosted the first citywide

9885
04:54:12,302 --> 04:54:15,302
Youth Summit above Balboa Park

9886
04:54:16,472 --> 04:54:17,107
bringing together over 200

9887
04:54:17,107 --> 04:54:17,841
young people and dozens of

9888
04:54:17,841 --> 04:54:18,141
community partners including us

9889
04:54:18,141 --> 04:54:20,141
youth.

9890
04:54:21,444 --> 04:54:22,112
Well our time to act The lgbt

9891
04:54:22,112 --> 04:54:22,778
Center Reality Changers San

9892
04:54:22,778 --> 04:54:25,778

Planning Partners.

9895
04:54:26,950 --> 04:54:28,950
Next slide please.

9896
04:54:30,887 --> 04:54:31,622
This wasn't just another event.

9897
04:54:31,622 --> 04:54:32,322
It was entirely youth centered

9898
04:54:32,322 --> 04:54:35,922
and had youth at the forefront

9899
04:54:35,926 --> 04:54:36,626
of planning and execution.

9900
04:54:36,626 --> 04:54:37,326
Featuring youth led workshops

9901
04:54:37,326 --> 04:54:38,280
rooted in the city's Child and

9902
04:54:38,280 --> 04:54:41,280
Youth plan and art activities

9903
04:54:41,965 --> 04:54:42,599
facilitated by the San Diego

9904
04:54:42,599 --> 04:54:42,932
Creative Youth Development

9905
04:54:42,932 --> 04:54:43,567
Network.

9906
04:54:43,567 --> 04:54:45,436
O.C. Is something rare and

9907
04:54:45,436 --> 04:54:46,203
essential.

9908
04:54:46,203 --> 04:54:46,837
They broke down silos and

9909
04:54:46,837 --> 04:54:47,471
convened a massive diverse

9910
04:54:47,471 --> 04:54:49,471
coalition across multiple

9911
04:54:51,274 --> 04:54:51,608
sectors to lift up our young

9912
04:54:51,608 --> 04:54:52,109
people.

9913
04:54:52,109 --> 04:54:54,109
Next slide please.

9914
04:54:56,379 --> 04:54:57,113
This is exactly what O.C. Weiss

9915
04:54:57,113 --> 04:54:57,547
was created to do and it's what

9916
04:54:57,547 --> 04:54:59,547
they do best.

9917
04:55:01,510 --> 04:55:01,685
We need them funded, supported

9918
04:55:01,685 --> 04:55:02,352
and sustained so they can

9919
04:55:02,352 --> 04:55:04,752
continue doing this crucial

9920
04:55:05,655 --> 04:55:06,880
work alongside and for San

9921
04:55:06,880 --> 04:55:06,723
Diego's youth.

9922
04:55:06,723 --> 04:55:07,424
This is what we're talking

9923
04:55:07,424 --> 04:55:10,424
about when we're talking about

9924
04:55:11,194 --> 04:55:11,862
community safety.

9925
04:55:11,862 --> 04:55:12,229
>> We're not talking about

9926
04:55:12,229 --> 04:55:12,929
the alba.

9927
04:55:12,929 --> 04:55:15,866
We're talking about this youth

9928
04:55:15,866 --> 04:55:16,933
joy youth resource is.

9929
04:55:16,933 --> 04:55:17,634
>> And I'll pass it to Alex to

9930
04:55:17,634 --> 04:55:20,634
talk more about her experience

9931
04:55:24,941 --> 04:55:25,442
at the youth summit.

9932
04:55:25,442 --> 04:55:26,420
>> All right.

9933
04:55:26,420 --> 04:55:26,376
Good afternoon, council

9934
04:55:26,376 --> 04:55:28,376
members.

9935
04:55:29,880 --> 04:55:30,481
My name is Alex Castillo.

9936
04:55:30,481 --> 04:55:30,981
I'm a District eight

9937
04:55:30,981 --> 04:55:32,981
constituent here.

9938
04:55:35,218 --> 04:55:35,852
Last week I was very fortunate

9939
04:55:35,852 --> 04:55:36,520
to attend the O.C. Youth

9940
04:55:36,520 --> 04:55:39,520
Council an event filled with

9941
04:55:39,623 --> 04:55:40,224
activity booths free

9942
04:55:40,224 --> 04:55:40,958
professional headshots,

9943
04:55:40,958 --> 04:55:43,358
resource tables, breakout rooms

9944
04:55:44,528 --> 04:55:45,162
and of course the opportunity

9945
04:55:45,162 --> 04:55:47,562
to connect with potential

9946
04:55:49,166 --> 04:55:49,600
employers and connect with

9947
04:55:49,600 --> 04:55:50,434
fellow youth.

9948
04:55:50,434 --> 04:55:51,101
I went with my sister last week

9949
04:55:51,101 --> 04:55:51,768
and we both came out better

9950
04:55:51,768 --> 04:55:54,405
than when we came in.

9951
04:55:54,405 --> 04:55:55,172
My sister who has been away

9952
04:55:55,172 --> 04:55:58,675
from home for four years going

9953
04:55:58,675 --> 04:55:59,409
to college came back and

9954
04:55:59,409 --> 04:56:02,409
learned about resources old and

9955
04:56:03,613 --> 04:56:04,348
new such as internships with

9956
04:56:04,348 --> 04:56:05,490
the sd Parks and Rec department

9957
04:56:05,490 --> 04:56:07,449
and support from organizations

9958
04:56:08,886 --> 04:56:09,587
such as Saluda.

9959
04:56:09,587 --> 04:56:10,120
She feels especially confident

9960
04:56:10,120 --> 04:56:10,754
after the networking

9961
04:56:10,754 --> 04:56:13,154
opportunities she had with

9962
04:56:13,991 --> 04:56:14,525
the teen clinic as she is

9963
04:56:14,525 --> 04:56:15,226
looking for research

9964
04:56:15,226 --> 04:56:18,226
opportunities as a psych grad.

9965
04:56:18,562 --> 04:56:19,196
>> I mean I was very content to

9966
04:56:19,196 --> 04:56:22,196
connect with folks my age

9967
04:56:23,234 --> 04:56:24,100
access resources and I'm very

9968
04:56:24,100 --> 04:56:27,705
happy that I won a raffle to

9969
04:56:27,705 --> 04:56:28,371
the San Diego Plunge Pool and

9970
04:56:28,371 --> 04:56:28,772
the Youth Summit was such a

9971
04:56:28,772 --> 04:56:29,373
great event.

9972
04:56:29,373 --> 04:56:29,740
And it could have been

9973
04:56:29,740 --> 04:56:31,740
the last.

9974
04:56:33,444 --> 04:56:34,145
So don't get me wrong we're

9975
04:56:34,145 --> 04:56:37,145
very grateful for the support

9976
04:56:37,147 --> 04:56:37,481
but we need to keep supporting

9977
04:56:37,481 --> 04:56:38,249
.

9978
04:56:38,249 --> 04:56:38,816
>> Okay, So can we have

9979
04:56:38,816 --> 04:56:41,216
the next slide please?

9980
04:56:42,486 --> 04:56:43,870
One more.

9981
04:56:43,870 --> 04:56:45,870
>> One more please.

9982
04:56:46,957 --> 04:56:47,358
And thank you Alex for sharing

9983
04:56:47,358 --> 04:56:48,250
your story.

9984
04:56:48,250 --> 04:56:51,250
Without this office we can't

9985
04:56:51,696 --> 04:56:52,290
support young people like Alex

9986
04:56:52,290 --> 04:56:52,897
.

9987
04:56:52,897 --> 04:56:53,597
But on this last slide we did

9988
04:56:53,597 --> 04:56:56,597
want to highlight the partners

9989
04:56:57,680 --> 04:56:57,868
across different organized

9990
04:56:57,868 --> 04:56:58,536
groups that stood with us to

9991
04:56:58,536 --> 04:56:59,203
support the Office of Child

9992
04:56:59,203 --> 04:57:01,439
Abuse Success That includes

9993
04:57:01,439 --> 04:57:02,106
community based organizations,

9994
04:57:02,106 --> 04:57:02,607
service providers, labor and

9995
04:57:02,607 --> 04:57:04,607
education groups.

9996
04:57:06,609 --> 04:57:07,311
We need a fully functioning

9997
04:57:07,311 --> 04:57:07,745
autonomous office that is also

9998
04:57:07,745 --> 04:57:09,745
fully funded.

9999
04:57:11,182 --> 04:57:11,849
Next year we will have to come

10000
04:57:11,849 --> 04:57:12,516
back and continue the fight.

10001
04:57:12,516 --> 04:57:15,516
If City little leadership is

10002
04:57:15,919 --> 04:57:16,520
unable to figure out how this

10003
04:57:16,520 --> 04:57:17,154
office can be sustained.

10004
04:57:17,154 --> 04:57:19,554
Throughout these past few

10005
04:57:20,358 --> 04:57:21,250
months of community engagement

10006
04:57:21,250 --> 04:57:21,759
in this budget cycle we have

10007
04:57:21,759 --> 04:57:24,159
also suggested the cancellation

10008
04:57:25,596 --> 04:57:26,297
of the you because contract

10009
04:57:26,297 --> 04:57:27,640
which is $2 million that money

10010
04:57:27,640 --> 04:57:30,640
would be better spent directly

10011
04:57:31,202 --> 04:57:31,875
into the community instead of

10012
04:57:31,875 --> 04:57:32,569
going into the pockets of a

10013
04:57:32,569 --> 04:57:35,569
wealthy corporation or see why

10014
04:57:36,700 --> 04:57:36,874
this is non-negotiable viable.

10015
04:57:36,874 --> 04:57:37,542
There is no city department or

10016
04:57:37,542 --> 04:57:37,975
program that supports youth

10017
04:57:37,975 --> 04:57:39,975
the same way.

10018
04:57:41,346 --> 04:57:42,212
This office aims to I as a

10019
04:57:42,212 --> 04:57:45,450
Iliana Soriano want to be clear

10020
04:57:45,450 --> 04:57:46,117
that when Mayor Todd Gloria

10021
04:57:46,117 --> 04:57:46,818
tries to justify making this

10022
04:57:46,818 --> 04:57:50,121
cut because we have a state

10023
04:57:50,121 --> 04:57:50,755
funded program that is

10024
04:57:50,755 --> 04:57:51,455
literally not the same we

10025
04:57:51,455 --> 04:57:53,855
cannot compare compare apples

10026
04:57:55,760 --> 04:57:56,394
and oranges especially because

10027
04:57:56,394 --> 04:57:57,128
the employee in and power

10028
04:57:57,128 --> 04:58:00,465
program that I went to mainly

10029
04:58:00,465 --> 04:58:01,199
exposes careers in public

10030
04:58:01,199 --> 04:58:04,799
service and is limited to youth

10031
04:58:04,902 --> 04:58:05,536
who are required to be enrolled

10032
04:58:05,536 --> 04:58:05,870
in academic or technical

10033
04:58:05,870 --> 04:58:06,537
school.

10034
04:58:06,537 --> 04:58:09,140
Osiris on the other hand, is

10035
04:58:09,140 --> 04:58:09,741
committed to our youth

10036
04:58:09,741 --> 04:58:10,474
specifically vulnerable

10037
04:58:10,474 --> 04:58:12,874
populations such as opportunity

10038
04:58:14,379 --> 04:58:15,460
youth who are both disconnected

10039
04:58:15,460 --> 04:58:17,446
from education and workforce

10040
04:58:19,150 --> 04:58:19,751
opportunity should be for all.

10041
04:58:19,751 --> 04:58:20,418
Likewise, if the Council

10042
04:58:20,418 --> 04:58:23,418
adopted the and supported a

10043
04:58:24,880 --> 04:58:24,789
plan to support children and

10044
04:58:24,789 --> 04:58:28,389
youth then today must you must

10045
04:58:28,393 --> 04:58:28,960
put that symbolic gesture into

10046
04:58:28,960 --> 04:58:29,561
action and ensure that

10047
04:58:29,561 --> 04:58:31,462
investments in youth are

10048
04:58:31,462 --> 04:58:32,163
permanent by funding the office

10049
04:58:32,163 --> 04:58:35,163
of child and you success.

10050
04:58:36,568 --> 04:58:36,968
Thank you.

10051
04:58:36,968 --> 04:58:38,968
We're done.

10052
04:58:41,573 --> 04:58:42,440
Thank you so much.

10053
04:58:42,440 --> 04:58:42,974
If I can have one Cordero,

10054
04:58:42,974 --> 04:58:43,741

10061
04:58:54,286 --> 04:58:57,886
I'm on speaker Speaker He is

10062
04:58:58,523 --> 04:58:59,224
sitting.

10063
04:58:59,224 --> 04:59:02,224
We're in the same group.

10064
04:59:03,228 --> 04:59:04,196
Okay.

10065
04:59:04,196 --> 04:59:04,763
>> But you guys will all be

10066
04:59:04,763 --> 04:59:06,763
sharing time together.

10067
04:59:08,660 --> 04:59:08,733
Uh, so you'll have three

10068
04:59:08,733 --> 04:59:11,603
minutes on the clock and you

10069
04:59:11,603 --> 04:59:12,203
guys can speak or else I give

10070
04:59:12,203 --> 04:59:12,871
you one minute each and

10071
04:59:12,871 --> 04:59:16,471
the thing will ding and then

10072
04:59:16,574 --> 04:59:17,175
the next speaker comes up.

10073
04:59:17,175 --> 04:59:17,943
>> So that's better.

10074
04:59:17,943 --> 04:59:18,543
But if we can Well no, no, no.

10075
04:59:18,543 --> 04:59:20,943
Let's keep it separate.

10076
04:59:21,450 --> 04:59:21,813
Okay.

10077
04:59:21,813 --> 04:59:22,280
So Juan Cordero, will you need

10078
04:59:22,280 --> 04:59:24,280
the PowerPoint?

10079
04:59:24,982 --> 04:59:25,249
Okay, We'll put the PowerPoint

10080
04:59:25,249 --> 04:59:26,510
up.

10081
04:59:26,510 --> 04:59:29,651
You'll have your minute and it

10082
04:59:39,698 --> 04:59:40,465
will ding.

10083
04:59:40,465 --> 04:59:41,132
Oh, I think there's these paper

10084
04:59:41,132 --> 04:59:41,833
clips kind of start clipping

10085
04:59:41,833 --> 04:59:44,200
together And so that's what

10086
04:59:44,200 --> 04:59:44,703
happened.

10087
04:59:44,703 --> 04:59:47,703
My apologies, but when there's

10088
04:59:48,273 --> 04:59:48,607
your PowerPoint, please

10089
04:59:48,607 --> 04:59:49,207
proceed.

10090
04:59:49,207 --> 04:59:51,207
>> I'm here regarding

10091
04:59:52,944 --> 04:59:53,645
the Granger and Obi Street

10092
04:59:53,645 --> 04:59:56,450
conditions I have pictures

10093
04:59:57,683 --> 04:59:58,383
slides to share.

10094
04:59:58,383 --> 04:59:58,717
They're just going to continue

10095
04:59:58,717 --> 04:59:59,450
running.

10096
04:59:59,450 --> 05:00:02,450
My mother lives in Granger

10097
05:00:03,221 --> 05:00:03,789
Street for over 40 years.

10098
05:00:03,789 --> 05:00:05,789
She's 92 years old.

10099
05:00:07,559 --> 05:00:08,260
I used to live there and i

10100
05:00:08,260 --> 05:00:08,593
still take physical care of my

10101
05:00:08,593 --> 05:00:10,593
mother.

10102
05:00:13,650 --> 05:00:13,398
Exercise is important for her

10103
05:00:13,398 --> 05:00:14,132
health.

10104
05:00:14,132 --> 05:00:14,433
She has a walker and tries to

10105
05:00:14,433 --> 05:00:16,433
walk.

10106
05:00:18,403 --> 05:00:19,710
There are no sidewalks and

10107
05:00:19,710 --> 05:00:19,671
the unevenness of the street

10108
05:00:19,671 --> 05:00:22,710
because of the potholes.

10109
05:00:23,800 --> 05:00:23,442
It's difficult and could be

10110
05:00:23,442 --> 05:00:25,442
hard for her.

10111
05:00:27,646 --> 05:00:28,180
When I drove my mom with broken

10112
05:00:28,180 --> 05:00:30,580
ribs trying to MISS

10113
05:00:32,784 --> 05:00:33,519
The potholes was inedible.

10114
05:00:33,519 --> 05:00:34,419
No matter how slow I drove

10115
05:00:34,419 --> 05:00:37,156
the jog will cause pain to my

10116
05:00:37,156 --> 05:00:37,927
mother.

10117
05:00:37,927 --> 05:00:38,624
I know there are city

10118
05:00:38,624 --> 05:00:41,624
governments tries to do their

10119
05:00:42,594 --> 05:00:43,362
best with what they have by.

10120
05:00:43,362 --> 05:00:46,666
But I also know of streets

10121
05:00:46,666 --> 05:00:47,660
There are planned to be

10122
05:00:47,660 --> 05:00:47,833
resurfaced.

10123
05:00:47,833 --> 05:00:48,233
They are not as damage as our

10124
05:00:48,233 --> 05:00:50,233
own streets.

10125
05:00:52,371 --> 05:00:52,871
This is my way to bring

10126
05:00:52,871 --> 05:00:53,571
attention to this.

10127
05:00:53,571 --> 05:00:53,906
Thank you for that concluding

10128
05:00:53,906 --> 05:00:55,906
comment.

10129
05:00:57,876 --> 05:01:01,476
Christina And you have time to

10130
05:01:02,213 --> 05:01:03,182
you by James Gale.

10131
05:01:03,182 --> 05:01:06,782
There's no baby or no age

10132
05:01:07,510 --> 05:01:07,720
limits here.

10133
05:01:07,720 --> 05:01:08,187
>> You have two minutes.

10134
05:01:08,187 --> 05:01:08,888
Please proceed.

10135
05:01:08,888 --> 05:01:11,888
We'll get the next PowerPoint

10136
05:01:14,426 --> 05:01:16,426
up Now.

10137
05:01:22,868 --> 05:01:23,335
Thank you for your patience.

10138
05:01:23,335 --> 05:01:25,335
There you go.

10139
05:01:27,973 --> 05:01:28,807
Please proceed.

10140
05:01:28,807 --> 05:01:29,108
My name is Christine Lagarde.

10141
05:01:29,108 --> 05:01:29,441
Right.

10142
05:01:29,441 --> 05:01:31,441
Taylor.

10143
05:01:32,978 --> 05:01:33,678
I am here to request for

10144
05:01:33,678 --> 05:01:34,380
resurfacing of the 1000 block

10145
05:01:34,380 --> 05:01:34,847
Granger Street and 1400 Block

10146
05:01:34,847 --> 05:01:36,847
Illinois Avenue.

10147
05:01:38,317 --> 05:01:38,984
The presentation illustrates

10148
05:01:38,984 --> 05:01:39,385
deteriorating conditions of

10149
05:01:39,385 --> 05:01:41,385
these roads.

10150
05:01:42,688 --> 05:01:43,455
Next slide.

10151
05:01:43,455 --> 05:01:44,123
>> Here is the current list of

10152
05:01:44,123 --> 05:01:46,523
upcoming city led street

10153
05:01:47,927 --> 05:01:48,560
resurfacing and overlay

10154
05:01:48,560 --> 05:01:48,861
projects for Southern San

10155
05:01:48,861 --> 05:01:49,495
Diego.

10156
05:01:49,495 --> 05:01:52,495
Granger and Ebola are not

10157
05:01:52,798 --> 05:01:53,299
included.

10158
05:01:53,299 --> 05:01:53,966
>> Next slide.

10159
05:01:53,966 --> 05:01:56,966
Number three in this example

10160
05:01:57,690 --> 05:01:57,936
Will House Drive is currently

10161
05:01:57,936 --> 05:02:01,340
in good condition with a pcr

10162
05:02:01,340 --> 05:02:01,741
score of 86 from its 2023

10163
05:02:01,741 --> 05:02:03,741
evaluation.

10164
05:02:05,511 --> 05:02:07,911
It received maintenance in 2018

10165
05:02:08,547 --> 05:02:09,281
and it's scheduled for

10166
05:02:09,281 --> 05:02:09,682
additional maintenance in 2027.

10167
05:02:09,682 --> 05:02:11,682
Next slide.

10168
05:02:13,319 --> 05:02:14,860
Look at Granger Street in 2016

10169
05:02:14,860 --> 05:02:17,860
Granger Street received a score

10170
05:02:17,957 --> 05:02:18,324
of eight placing it in failed

10171
05:02:18,324 --> 05:02:20,324
category.

10172
05:02:21,861 --> 05:02:22,562
By 2023 its high score had

10173
05:02:22,562 --> 05:02:24,962
improved slightly to 17 which

10174
05:02:26,320 --> 05:02:26,499
still falls within the serious

10175
05:02:26,499 --> 05:02:27,133
condition range.

10176
05:02:27,133 --> 05:02:29,533
City records indicate that

10177
05:02:30,135 --> 05:02:30,936
Granger's last major

10178
05:02:30,936 --> 05:02:31,304
maintenance was in 1990 1998 30

10179
05:02:31,304 --> 05:02:33,304
years ago.

10180
05:02:35,274 --> 05:02:35,808
These data points suggest that

10181
05:02:35,808 --> 05:02:36,409
Granger has not been

10182
05:02:36,409 --> 05:02:36,843
prioritized for roadway

10183
05:02:36,843 --> 05:02:38,843
improvements.

10184
05:02:40,212 --> 05:02:40,879
Granger is not currently

10185
05:02:40,879 --> 05:02:43,279
scheduled for resurfacing in

10186
05:02:44,650 --> 05:02:44,984
2027 despite its poor condition

10187
05:02:44,984 --> 05:02:45,484
.

10188
05:02:45,484 --> 05:02:47,484
Slide six please.

10189
05:02:49,989 --> 05:02:50,690
In the last 365 days zero

10190
05:02:50,690 --> 05:02:53,690
reports were made for potholes

10191
05:02:55,194 --> 05:02:55,927
along will house Drive while 15

10192
05:02:55,927 --> 05:02:56,395
plus reports were submitted for

10193
05:02:56,395 --> 05:02:58,395
Granger Street.

10194
05:03:00,660 --> 05:03:00,433
Explain to me how is this

10195
05:03:00,433 --> 05:03:02,433
possible?

10196
05:03:04,303 --> 05:03:04,971
Whoever is making this

10197
05:03:04,971 --> 05:03:05,505
decisions has demonstrated a

10198
05:03:05,505 --> 05:03:07,505
remarkable level of

10199
05:03:09,375 --> 05:03:10,760
incompetence.

10200
05:03:10,760 --> 05:03:10,676
My neighbors and I attended

10201
05:03:10,676 --> 05:03:11,311
various local community

10202
05:03:11,311 --> 05:03:13,711
planning group meetings to

10203
05:03:14,347 --> 05:03:14,647
raise awareness and ask for

10204
05:03:14,647 --> 05:03:15,348
help.

10205
05:03:15,348 --> 05:03:18,751
On MARCH 26th the board sent a

10206
05:03:18,751 --> 05:03:19,385
formal letter to the mayor's

10207
05:03:19,385 --> 05:03:19,785
office and Transportation

10208
05:03:19,785 --> 05:03:20,487
Department.

10209
05:03:20,487 --> 05:03:23,823
And no action has been taken.

10210
05:03:23,823 --> 05:03:24,524
How is it possible that

10211
05:03:24,524 --> 05:03:25,191
the Transportation Department

10212
05:03:25,191 --> 05:03:25,858
will choose to prioritize a

10213
05:03:25,858 --> 05:03:28,258
street like Wheelhouse Drive

10214
05:03:28,662 --> 05:03:29,329
whose in great condition and

10215
05:03:29,329 --> 05:03:31,729
which receives zero requests

10216
05:03:32,465 --> 05:03:33,990
for street maintenance and has

10217
05:03:33,990 --> 05:03:33,433
completely ignored Granger

10218
05:03:33,433 --> 05:03:35,433
Street?

10219
05:03:36,669 --> 05:03:37,637
>> Thank you.

10220
05:03:37,637 --> 05:03:40,370
>> Thank you, Maria Lorena

10221
05:03:42,809 --> 05:03:43,677
Garcia.

10222
05:03:43,677 --> 05:03:44,310
I Lorena Garcia and I am a

10223
05:03:44,310 --> 05:03:46,710
homeowner on Elbow Avenue.

10224
05:03:48,480 --> 05:03:48,648
I'm here to act the city to

10225
05:03:48,648 --> 05:03:51,480
pave our street during

10226
05:03:51,651 --> 05:03:52,352
the heavy rain in 2021 our cul

10227
05:03:52,352 --> 05:03:55,352
de sac flooded badly because

10228
05:03:56,689 --> 05:03:57,390
our street is made up loose

10229
05:03:57,390 --> 05:04:00,390
gravel and has many potholes.

10230
05:04:01,161 --> 05:04:01,728
Dirt rock and debris wash down

10231
05:04:01,728 --> 05:04:02,950
the street and clogged

10232
05:04:02,950 --> 05:04:02,829
the sewer.

10233
05:04:02,829 --> 05:04:05,565
The flooding was so severe that

10234
05:04:05,565 --> 05:04:06,990
it looked like a river running

10235
05:04:06,990 --> 05:04:06,833
through my property.

10236
05:04:06,833 --> 05:04:10,403
Mud and rock ended up in my

10237
05:04:10,403 --> 05:04:11,136
pool in my driveway causing

10238
05:04:11,136 --> 05:04:11,471
damages and requiring extensive

10239
05:04:11,471 --> 05:04:13,471
cleanup.

10240
05:04:15,842 --> 05:04:16,609
We at a we pay our property

10241
05:04:16,609 --> 05:04:20,313
taxes every year as we pay late

10242
05:04:20,313 --> 05:04:21,147
we are charged penalty.

10243
05:04:21,147 --> 05:04:21,881
We do our part at the taxpayer

10244
05:04:21,881 --> 05:04:24,718
and we believe our neighborhood

10245
05:04:24,718 --> 05:04:25,318
deserve basic infrastructure

10246
05:04:25,318 --> 05:04:27,318
improvement including a

10247
05:04:30,490 --> 05:04:30,957
properly properly paved street.

10248
05:04:30,957 --> 05:04:32,957
>> Thank you.

10249
05:04:35,950 --> 05:04:35,862
Thank you Franco Demayo.

10250
05:04:35,862 --> 05:04:36,596

the front row.

10260

You'll have one minute.

10261
05:04:59,319 --> 05:05:00,120
>> Please proceed.

10262
05:05:00,120 --> 05:05:03,456
We never voted for this as

10263
05:05:03,456 --> 05:05:04,224
surveillance state.

10264
05:05:04,224 --> 05:05:04,925
The people have a voice you

10265
05:05:04,925 --> 05:05:05,659
best appreciate because Uncle

10266
05:05:05,659 --> 05:05:08,595
Sam is a scam and he ain't even

10267
05:05:08,595 --> 05:05:09,429
a man.

10268
05:05:09,429 --> 05:05:09,863
You think we don't know what

10269
05:05:09,863 --> 05:05:10,896
your plan is?

10270
05:05:10,896 --> 05:05:14,201
Agenda 2030 is a no go so just

10271
05:05:14,201 --> 05:05:14,968

Creepy old men I will go south

10285

Turned into a peeping tom

10286
05:05:43,163 --> 05:05:46,933

10287
05:05:46,933 --> 05:05:47,934

>> Thank you for the musical

reprieve And Embry, if you can

10294
05:06:14,695 --> 05:06:15,562
please come forward in red.

10295
05:06:15,562 --> 05:06:19,233
I did not bring my guitar but

10296
05:06:19,233 --> 05:06:19,933
I'll still go back.

10297
05:06:19,933 --> 05:06:20,668
Good afternoon, City Council.

10298
05:06:20,668 --> 05:06:21,302
My name is Ian Henry and I'm

10299
05:06:21,302 --> 05:06:22,970
the advocacy and community

10300
05:06:22,970 --> 05:06:23,604
manager for the San Diego

10301
05:06:23,604 --> 05:06:24,337
County Bicycle Coalition.

10302
05:06:24,337 --> 05:06:25,106
I'm here today to urge you to

10303
05:06:25,106 --> 05:06:27,775
pass a budget with funding for

10304
05:06:27,775 --> 05:06:28,476
the multi-modal team.

10305
05:06:28,476 --> 05:06:29,176
In the past this Council has

10306
05:06:29,176 --> 05:06:29,510
embraced the mission of Safer

10307
05:06:29,510 --> 05:06:31,510
Streets.

10308
05:06:33,147 --> 05:06:33,813
You've adopted vision Zero

10309
05:06:33,813 --> 05:06:34,548
Affirm Safety as the highest

10310
05:06:34,548 --> 05:06:35,182
transportation related priority

10311
05:06:35,182 --> 05:06:37,582
Pass the Complete Streets

10312
05:06:38,486 --> 05:06:38,886
policy and approve the Climate

10313
05:06:38,886 --> 05:06:39,520
Action Plan.

10314
05:06:39,520 --> 05:06:40,540
Now we need you to fund

10315
05:06:40,540 --> 05:06:42,540
the multimodal team.

10316
05:06:43,157 --> 05:06:43,791
We will not achieve our Vision

10317
05:06:43,791 --> 05:06:44,424
Zero and climate goals by

10318
05:06:44,424 --> 05:06:44,792
treating traffic safety or

10319
05:06:44,792 --> 05:06:46,792
something.

10320
05:06:48,620 --> 05:06:48,763
We need million dollar sips or

10321
05:06:48,763 --> 05:06:49,530
state funded grants to pursue.

10322
05:06:49,530 --> 05:06:52,366
It must be interwoven into

10323
05:06:52,366 --> 05:06:53,670
the regular work of

10324
05:06:53,670 --> 05:06:53,768
the Transportation Department

10325
05:06:53,768 --> 05:06:54,268
making improvements every time

10326
05:06:54,268 --> 05:06:56,570
we touch a street.

10327
05:06:56,570 --> 05:06:56,936
That is what the multimodal

10328
05:06:56,936 --> 05:06:57,638
team does.

10329
05:06:57,638 --> 05:06:58,372
Eliminating this team would be

10330
05:06:58,372 --> 05:07:01,809
a mistake that would take years

10331
05:07:01,809 --> 05:07:02,576
to recover from.

10332
05:07:02,576 --> 05:07:03,310
With a tiny portion of armory

10333
05:07:03,310 --> 05:07:05,879
funding we can enable this team

10334
05:07:05,879 --> 05:07:06,580
to continue their work and

10335
05:07:06,580 --> 05:07:07,130
making our streets safer and

10336
05:07:07,130 --> 05:07:08,883
more livable.

10337
05:07:08,883 --> 05:07:12,483
>> Thank you for your time Aria

10338
05:07:14,455 --> 05:07:14,956
Grossman.

10339
05:07:14,956 --> 05:07:15,622
>> Good afternoon.

10340
05:07:15,622 --> 05:07:18,622
My name is Aria Grossman.

10341
05:07:19,560 --> 05:07:20,261
I'm the policy manager at

10342
05:07:20,261 --> 05:07:20,961
Circulate Planning and Policy

10343
05:07:20,961 --> 05:07:24,232
and I'm here one final time to

10344
05:07:24,232 --> 05:07:24,966
urge you to fund the multimodal

10345
05:07:24,966 --> 05:07:25,700
team in the final budget.

10346
05:07:25,700 --> 05:07:28,700
These positions that I'm asking

10347
05:07:28,969 --> 05:07:29,704
you to retain are engineers

10348
05:07:29,704 --> 05:07:30,371
dedicated to making our streets

10349
05:07:30,371 --> 05:07:30,705
safer and preventing future

10350
05:07:30,705 --> 05:07:32,705
crashes.

10351
05:07:33,508 --> 05:07:34,275
If we want less traffic deaths

10352
05:07:34,275 --> 05:07:34,875
we cannot continue to be a city

10353
05:07:34,875 --> 05:07:37,875
of people that are only

10354
05:07:38,179 --> 05:07:38,880
supportive of safety

10355
05:07:38,880 --> 05:07:39,347
improvements when tragedy has

10356
05:07:39,347 --> 05:07:40,470
already struck.

10357
05:07:40,470 --> 05:07:43,470
We have to invest in

10358
05:07:43,817 --> 05:07:44,552
preventative measures if we

10359
05:07:44,552 --> 05:07:45,253
want to ensure that the ride to

10360
05:07:45,253 --> 05:07:45,686
school or the walk to the bus

10361
05:07:45,686 --> 05:07:47,686
stop is safe.

10362
05:07:48,723 --> 05:07:49,390
That is what this team does and

10363
05:07:49,390 --> 05:07:51,790
quite literally the cheapest

10364
05:07:52,827 --> 05:07:53,127
and most efficient way possible

10365
05:07:53,127 --> 05:07:53,861
.

10366
05:07:53,861 --> 05:07:54,462
Thankfully we have the tools to

10367
05:07:54,462 --> 05:07:55,960
preserve this core city

10368
05:07:55,960 --> 05:07:57,960
function without touching

10369
05:07:57,265 --> 05:07:58,232
the general fund.

10370
05:07:58,232 --> 05:07:58,966
I urge all of you to support

10371
05:07:58,966 --> 05:08:01,966
funding for the multimodal team

10372
05:08:02,303 --> 05:08:02,870
using Armory dollars.

10373
05:08:02,870 --> 05:08:03,571
Thank you again to

10374
05:08:03,571 --> 05:08:04,171
Councilmembers Campo Whitburn

10375
05:08:04,171 --> 05:08:07,410
and LaCava who have been

10376
05:08:07,410 --> 05:08:07,508
repeatedly vocally supportive

10377
05:08:07,508 --> 05:08:08,175
of this action.

10378
05:08:08,175 --> 05:08:11,713
At the end of the day making

10379
05:08:11,713 --> 05:08:12,313
sure our roads are safe for

10380
05:08:12,313 --> 05:08:12,914
drivers, pedestrians and

10381
05:08:12,914 --> 05:08:13,581
cyclists is a basic core

10382
05:08:13,581 --> 05:08:15,981
responsibility of the city.

10383
05:08:17,552 --> 05:08:17,918
And please maintain those core

10384
05:08:17,918 --> 05:08:18,353
services.

10385
05:08:18,353 --> 05:08:18,987
>> Thank you.

10386
05:08:18,987 --> 05:08:21,489
Mark Frederick if you can

10387
05:08:21,489 --> 05:08:22,123
please come forward.

10388
05:08:22,123 --> 05:08:22,656
Thanks and good afternoon.

10389
05:08:22,656 --> 05:08:23,324
I'm Mark Frederick.

10390
05:08:23,324 --> 05:08:26,324
I'm the program manager for

10391
05:08:26,628 --> 05:08:27,328
real estate dispositions for

10392
05:08:27,328 --> 05:08:27,962
the city of San Diego at least

10393
05:08:27,962 --> 05:08:30,962
for the next three weeks.

10394
05:08:31,232 --> 05:08:31,966
I'm one of the program managers

10395
05:08:31,966 --> 05:08:32,567
whose position is set to be cut

10396
05:08:32,567 --> 05:08:35,567
from the f y 27 budget.

10397
05:08:35,870 --> 05:08:36,671
I'm speaking today as a private

10398
05:08:36,671 --> 05:08:37,138
citizen and I'm not here to try

10399
05:08:37,138 --> 05:08:38,720
to save my job.

10400
05:08:38,720 --> 05:08:41,209
However, I would like to put at

10401
05:08:41,209 --> 05:08:41,943
least one face in name to

10402
05:08:41,943 --> 05:08:42,644
the impending layoffs and offer

10403
05:08:42,644 --> 05:08:45,713
a few thoughts on the impacts

10404
05:08:45,713 --> 05:08:46,481
of the cuts.

10405
05:08:46,481 --> 05:08:47,148
I've been the program manager

10406
05:08:47,148 --> 05:08:47,615
for real estate dispositions

10407
05:08:47,615 --> 05:08:49,615
for three years.

10408
05:08:50,752 --> 05:08:51,453
I came to the city to help

10409
05:08:51,453 --> 05:08:52,187
after working as a commercial

10410
05:08:52,187 --> 05:08:52,620
real estate broker here in town

10411
05:08:52,620 --> 05:08:54,620
for 20 years.

10412
05:08:55,156 --> 05:08:55,790
My primary function at the city

10413
05:08:55,790 --> 05:08:56,524
has been to negotiate and

10414
05:08:56,524 --> 05:08:59,928
manage the sale of surplus city

10415
05:08:59,928 --> 05:09:00,662
owned property in accordance

10416
05:09:00,662 --> 05:09:01,363
with the State Surplus Land Act

10417
05:09:01,363 --> 05:09:03,763
primarily for the development

10418
05:09:05,200 --> 05:09:05,900
of Affordable housing and to

10419
05:09:05,900 --> 05:09:06,533
provide new sources of income

10420
05:09:06,533 --> 05:09:09,337
to help offset the city's

10421
05:09:09,337 --> 05:09:10,105
budget shortfalls.

10422
05:09:10,105 --> 05:09:10,806
This work will continue after I

10423
05:09:10,806 --> 05:09:11,606
leave the city but I can tell

10424
05:09:11,606 --> 05:09:14,843
you based on my experience that

10425
05:09:14,843 --> 05:09:15,376
the quality, quantity and

10426
05:09:15,376 --> 05:09:16,111
efficiency of these

10427
05:09:16,111 --> 05:09:19,111
transactions will go down after

10428
05:09:19,447 --> 05:09:20,480
my position is cut.

10429
05:09:20,480 --> 05:09:20,782
Thank you for listening.

10430
05:09:20,782 --> 05:09:24,382
It's been nice working with you

10431
05:09:24,486 --> 05:09:24,786
and a pleasure serving the city

10432
05:09:24,786 --> 05:09:25,519
.

10433
05:09:25,519 --> 05:09:25,887
>> I sincerely wish you all

10434
05:09:25,887 --> 05:09:26,588
good luck.

10435
05:09:26,588 --> 05:09:29,157
Thank you for that concluding

10436
05:09:29,157 --> 05:09:29,857
remark and setting me back and

10437
05:09:29,857 --> 05:09:32,257
have the following individuals

10438
05:09:35,620 --> 05:09:35,797

brought Cavite Melody Kavalan,

10441
05:09:40,368 --> 05:09:41,169
Joshua Don Manuel and Riechers.

10442
05:09:41,169 --> 05:09:45,240
It really helps if you come up

10443
05:09:45,240 --> 05:09:45,707
to those yellow reserved seats.

10444
05:09:45,707 --> 05:09:46,475
Please proceed.

10445
05:09:46,475 --> 05:09:46,808
Hi my name is instead of Magic

10446
05:09:46,808 --> 05:09:48,577
Estrada.

10447
05:09:48,577 --> 05:09:49,211
Estrada with the San Diego

10448
05:09:49,211 --> 05:09:49,677
Building and Construction

10449
05:09:49,677 --> 05:09:50,345
Trades Council.

10450
05:09:50,345 --> 05:09:53,682
Here today I ask you all to

10451
05:09:53,682 --> 05:09:54,582
pull money out of flock.

10452
05:09:54,582 --> 05:09:54,883
I only have a minute so keep it

10453
05:09:54,883 --> 05:09:55,450
quick.

10454
05:09:55,450 --> 05:09:57,386
We're out here pushing

10455
05:09:57,386 --> 05:09:57,786
apprenticeships into

10456
05:09:57,786 --> 05:09:58,487
communities.

10457
05:09:58,487 --> 05:09:59,188
We do so because we understand

10458
05:09:59,188 --> 05:10:02,190
that when folks have access to

10459
05:10:02,190 --> 05:10:02,891
opportunity to jobs they will

10460
05:10:02,891 --> 05:10:03,191
have better outcomes in their

10461
05:10:03,191 --> 05:10:03,959
life.

10462
05:10:03,959 --> 05:10:06,962
When we pull this money from a

10463
05:10:06,962 --> 05:10:07,696
program that nobody has trust

10464
05:10:07,696 --> 05:10:08,363
in and put it into something

10465
05:10:08,363 --> 05:10:11,666
like the Office of Youth and

10466
05:10:11,666 --> 05:10:12,534
Child Success.

10467
05:10:12,534 --> 05:10:13,201
We know that we will all

10468
05:10:13,201 --> 05:10:16,201
benefit from the outcomes of

10469
05:10:17,720 --> 05:10:17,738
that cause symptom.

10470
05:10:17,738 --> 05:10:18,373
Everybody wants to go after

10471
05:10:18,373 --> 05:10:19,110
the symptoms because it's

10472
05:10:19,110 --> 05:10:21,777
better in the in the headlines.

10473
05:10:21,777 --> 05:10:22,444
It makes us all feel good but

10474
05:10:22,444 --> 05:10:22,911
the causes is what we really

10475
05:10:22,911 --> 05:10:24,911
need to tackle.

10476
05:10:26,648 --> 05:10:27,490
And that's not what we're doing

10477
05:10:27,490 --> 05:10:27,816
with this.

10478
05:10:27,816 --> 05:10:28,584
So please pull this money out.

10479
05:10:28,584 --> 05:10:31,419
Put it in the Office of Youth

10480
05:10:31,419 --> 05:10:32,120
and Child Success and help us

10481
05:10:32,120 --> 05:10:32,487
build some trust in our city.

10482
05:10:32,487 --> 05:10:34,487
Thank you.

10483
05:10:45,167 --> 05:10:45,934
As making federal how Council

10484
05:10:45,934 --> 05:10:46,634
Members My name is Beryl and

10485
05:10:46,634 --> 05:10:48,370
I'm a resident of the for you

10486
05:10:48,370 --> 05:10:49,104
so Hi Steven I'm a community

10487
05:10:49,104 --> 05:10:49,805
organizer in the community and

10488
05:10:49,805 --> 05:10:50,172
a member of a community budget

10489
05:10:50,172 --> 05:10:52,172
alliance.

10490
05:10:53,642 --> 05:10:54,343
Austerity is a choice much like

10491
05:10:54,343 --> 05:10:55,430
how the city has a choice and

10492
05:10:55,430 --> 05:10:58,130
its last opportunity to uphold

10493
05:10:58,130 --> 05:10:58,881
its values through our budget.

10494
05:10:58,881 --> 05:10:59,515
I want to thank those of you

10495
05:10:59,515 --> 05:11:02,515
who have already fought to

10496
05:11:03,719 --> 05:11:04,419
restore cuts to the arts of us

10497
05:11:04,419 --> 05:11:05,870
in our various tba priorities.

10498
05:11:05,870 --> 05:11:07,855
But I also want to heed

10499
05:11:07,855 --> 05:11:08,490
the warning that you have

10500
05:11:08,490 --> 05:11:08,957
repeatedly heard from our

10501
05:11:08,957 --> 05:11:09,658
constituencies.

10502
05:11:09,658 --> 05:11:13,280
But the alpa contract does not

10503
05:11:13,280 --> 05:11:13,796
work from them.

10504
05:11:13,796 --> 05:11:14,495
I know you've heard from me

10505
05:11:14,495 --> 05:11:14,763
mind Granny but they MAY like

10506
05:11:14,763 --> 05:11:15,431
it.

10507
05:11:15,431 --> 05:11:18,767
But frankly what we do know

10508
05:11:18,767 --> 05:11:19,501
about Flock is that it was used

10509
05:11:19,501 --> 05:11:20,135
to hunt down a woman in Texas

10510
05:11:20,135 --> 05:11:22,338
who thought abortion care.

10511
05:11:22,338 --> 05:11:22,738
But it's been used to hunt down

10512
05:11:22,738 --> 05:11:23,506
migrants.

10513
05:11:23,506 --> 05:11:24,172
And how much longer until it's

10514
05:11:24,172 --> 05:11:27,172
used against us Against your

10515
05:11:27,877 --> 05:11:28,477
and trans community who have

10516
05:11:28,477 --> 05:11:29,111
already been labeled as

10517
05:11:29,111 --> 05:11:29,777
domestic terrorists by our

10518
05:11:29,777 --> 05:11:32,177
federal government, Save our

10519
05:11:32,982 --> 05:11:33,649
Kids Fund our growth fund

10520
05:11:33,649 --> 05:11:35,451
the city and keep it going.

10521
05:11:35,451 --> 05:11:37,451
Thank you, Brooke.

10522
05:11:40,990 --> 05:11:41,724
Please come forward.

10523
05:11:41,724 --> 05:11:42,570
>> Good afternoon, City council

10524
05:11:42,570 --> 05:11:44,570
members.

10525
05:11:46,295 --> 05:11:47,229
My name is brought Cabinet.

10526
05:11:47,229 --> 05:11:47,896
I am a resident of District six

10527
05:11:47,896 --> 05:11:48,564
and work in District three.

10528
05:11:48,564 --> 05:11:51,564
I urge you to approve

10529
05:11:51,600 --> 05:11:52,300
the budget proposed today by

10530
05:11:52,300 --> 05:11:53,350
the aba and commend the public

10531
05:11:53,350 --> 05:11:55,435
private proposal announced last

10532
05:11:56,372 --> 05:11:57,600
Friday by Council PRESIDENT Pro

10533
05:11:57,600 --> 05:11:57,338
Tem Lee and Council Member

10534
05:11:57,338 --> 05:11:58,400
Foster.

10535
05:11:58,400 --> 05:11:58,740
This proposal is an important

10536
05:11:58,740 --> 05:12:00,809
step toward ensuring the arts

10537
05:12:00,809 --> 05:12:01,443
and culture organizations have

10538
05:12:01,443 --> 05:12:01,977
the resources necessary to

10539
05:12:01,977 --> 05:12:02,711
continue serving our

10540
05:12:02,711 --> 05:12:05,111
communities and advancing their

10541
05:12:05,647 --> 05:12:06,382
missions.

10542
05:12:06,382 --> 05:12:07,160
Like many organizations San

10543
05:12:07,160 --> 05:12:10,616
Diego Pride I work for San

10544
05:12:10,987 --> 05:12:11,554
Diego Pride Happy Pride has

10545
05:12:11,554 --> 05:12:12,255
already made difficult

10546
05:12:12,255 --> 05:12:12,855
decisions to reduce programing

10547
05:12:12,855 --> 05:12:15,255
in response to declining

10548
05:12:15,524 --> 05:12:16,225
funding opportunities rising

10549
05:12:16,225 --> 05:12:16,826
city costs for public safety

10550
05:12:16,826 --> 05:12:17,560
and event permitting and

10551
05:12:17,560 --> 05:12:20,560
increased security needs Amid a

10552
05:12:20,731 --> 05:12:21,430
troubling rise in anti lgbt

10553
05:12:21,430 --> 05:12:22,131
violence organizations should

10554
05:12:22,131 --> 05:12:25,334
not be forced to cut community

10555
05:12:25,334 --> 05:12:26,680
programing in order to afford

10556
05:12:26,680 --> 05:12:26,536
the security needed to keep our

10557
05:12:26,536 --> 05:12:27,236
community safe.

10558
05:12:27,236 --> 05:12:30,236
The magnitude of the proposed

10559
05:12:30,973 --> 05:12:31,674
budget before it was well

10560
05:12:31,674 --> 05:12:32,340
beyond what most organizations

10561
05:12:32,340 --> 05:12:35,311
could afford or planned for.

10562
05:12:35,311 --> 05:12:36,450
In contrast to this alternative

10563
05:12:36,450 --> 05:12:36,712
budget would restore funding to

10564
05:12:36,712 --> 05:12:37,313
a level that allows orgs to

10565
05:12:37,313 --> 05:12:39,313
adapt responsibly while

10566
05:12:40,950 --> 05:12:41,717
continuing to serve the public.

10567
05:12:41,717 --> 05:12:42,170
>> We urge you to restore these

10568
05:12:42,170 --> 05:12:44,170
funds.

10569
05:12:46,756 --> 05:12:47,290
Thank you, Melanie If you can

10570
05:12:47,290 --> 05:12:49,290
please come forward.

10571
05:12:51,294 --> 05:12:51,961
Melody Corella Okay.

05:12:51,961 --> 05:12:52,295
>> Thank you Joshua Done

05:12:52,295 --> 05:12:54,295
neither.

10574
05:12:56,799 --> 05:12:57,533
Joshua You said I do have to

10575
05:12:57,533 --> 05:12:58,134

know, change so much.

10587
05:13:16,860 --> 05:13:20,255
One of the big things that for

05:13:20,255 --> 05:13:20,990
me has been great has been

10589
05:13:20,990 --> 05:13:21,690

My name is Grace Victoria

Community Empowerment.

>> I'm here to demand that we

10631
05:14:35,310 --> 05:14:38,310
cancel Floc right here right

10632
05:14:38,335 --> 05:14:39,300
now because 2 million of that

10633
05:14:39,300 --> 05:14:42,603
needs to go to the community

10634
05:14:42,606 --> 05:14:43,139
and you're telling us no

10635
05:14:43,139 --> 05:14:45,139
because for safety.

10636
05:14:48,478 --> 05:14:49,178
>> But Floc is funded by a

10637
05:14:49,178 --> 05:14:51,578
billionaire and you're giving

10638
05:14:53,517 --> 05:14:54,284
those funds to him and also

10639
05:14:54,284 --> 05:14:54,651
he's Peter Thiel which is also

10640
05:14:54,651 --> 05:14:56,651
a Zionist.

10641
05:14:59,289 --> 05:14:59,956
>> Also on the Epstein files.

10642
05:14:59,956 --> 05:15:00,624
So what are your values?

10643
05:15:00,624 --> 05:15:01,124
Are you and the values of

10644
05:15:01,124 --> 05:15:03,124
the billionaires?

10645
05:15:04,328 --> 05:15:04,728
Are you in the values of

10646
05:15:04,728 --> 05:15:05,429
the people?

10647
05:15:05,429 --> 05:15:05,696
>> Because we don't feel that

10648
05:15:05,696 --> 05:15:06,663
50.

10649
05:15:06,663 --> 05:15:09,766
And as a person you're talking

10650
05:15:09,766 --> 05:15:12,766
about like crimes Well fund

10651
05:15:14,504 --> 05:15:15,205
education fund things that will

10652
05:15:15,205 --> 05:15:15,506
help the community not create

10653
05:15:15,506 --> 05:15:16,272
crime.

10654
05:15:16,272 --> 05:15:19,872
>> And I don't give my tax

10655
05:15:20,711 --> 05:15:21,445
dollars for funding.

10656
05:15:21,445 --> 05:15:21,778
Thank you for that concluding

10657
05:15:21,778 --> 05:15:22,378
comment.

10658
05:15:22,378 --> 05:15:24,778
Your time has concluded.

10659
05:15:25,382 --> 05:15:25,949
Christian Fuentes, Christian

10660
05:15:25,949 --> 05:15:28,349
Fuentes, are you here?

10661
05:15:33,123 --> 05:15:33,624
Well, thank you.

10662
05:15:33,624 --> 05:15:35,624
Well, hi everyone.

10663
05:15:38,595 --> 05:15:39,296
Thank you so much for

10664
05:15:39,296 --> 05:15:40,630
the opportunity to be here.

10665
05:15:40,630 --> 05:15:40,364
I want I'm going to be very

10666
05:15:40,364 --> 05:15:41,640
quick.

10667
05:15:41,640 --> 05:15:43,734
I think something that is very

10668
05:15:43,734 --> 05:15:44,100
important to me is the youth

10669
05:15:44,100 --> 05:15:44,834
services.

10670
05:15:44,834 --> 05:15:45,502
So if you could please, please,

10671
05:15:45,502 --> 05:15:46,360
please prioritize Office of

10672
05:15:46,360 --> 05:15:48,360
the Youth Services.

10673
05:15:49,573 --> 05:15:50,207
Right now I know it's not a

10674
05:15:50,207 --> 05:15:52,342
good time economically for

10675
05:15:52,342 --> 05:15:53,143
people but I feel like you is

10676
05:15:53,143 --> 05:15:53,677
one of them that has been hit

10677
05:15:53,677 --> 05:15:54,344
the most especially

10678
05:15:54,344 --> 05:15:55,450
unemployment especially for

10679
05:15:55,450 --> 05:15:58,450
those that have graduated from

10680
05:15:58,148 --> 05:15:58,816
college recently.

10681
05:15:58,816 --> 05:15:59,483
It's very bad right now.

10682
05:15:59,483 --> 05:16:01,883
So please consider funding

10683
05:16:04,955 --> 05:16:05,589
the youth services And if you

10684
05:16:05,589 --> 05:16:06,323
can remove the money from

10685
05:16:06,323 --> 05:16:06,623
the youth services that will be

10686
05:16:06,623 --> 05:16:08,623

>> Hey, my name is Alice.

10725
05:17:38,116 --> 05:17:38,982
I'm from District two.

10726
05:17:38,982 --> 05:17:42,582
Now about a year ago my

10727
05:17:43,688 --> 05:17:44,421
neighbor's car was entirely

10728
05:17:44,421 --> 05:17:44,956
destroyed in a flood that could

10729
05:17:44,956 --> 05:17:46,956
have been prevented.

10730
05:17:48,898 --> 05:17:49,493
It did not happen because there

10731
05:17:49,493 --> 05:17:50,227
was unexpected weather.

10732
05:17:50,227 --> 05:17:53,227
It happened because the nearest

10733
05:17:54,232 --> 05:17:54,832
storm drain was a block and a

10734
05:17:54,832 --> 05:17:57,232
half away and completely

10735
05:18:00,838 --> 05:18:01,439
overloaded That neighbor needed

10736
05:18:01,439 --> 05:18:03,839
storm water front deck.

10737
05:18:05,309 --> 05:18:05,976
>> There was a picture that I

10738
05:18:05,976 --> 05:18:06,444
saw growing on the San Diego

10739
05:18:06,444 --> 05:18:07,178
River bike path.

10740
05:18:07,178 --> 05:18:10,981
Now for those who don't know a

10741
05:18:10,981 --> 05:18:11,683
Decorah is a plant that is

10742
05:18:11,683 --> 05:18:13,683
extremely poisonous including

10743
05:18:16,870 --> 05:18:16,788
to touch the people who go on

10744
05:18:16,788 --> 05:18:17,555
that path to walk.

10745
05:18:17,555 --> 05:18:20,555
>> Need our parks funded so

10746
05:18:22,930 --> 05:18:22,927
that could be removed.

10747
05:18:22,927 --> 05:18:27,127
I got here by bus and by

10748
05:18:27,832 --> 05:18:28,498
walking I did the multi-modal

10749
05:18:28,498 --> 05:18:29,233
safety team that makes sure

10750
05:18:29,233 --> 05:18:33,404
that I don't get hit by a car

10751
05:18:33,404 --> 05:18:34,380
when I cross the street

10752
05:18:34,380 --> 05:18:37,380
the police want to block.

10753
05:18:38,977 --> 05:18:39,844
>> People here need so many

10754
05:18:39,844 --> 05:18:43,444
things and none of them are

10755
05:18:44,683 --> 05:18:45,450
cameras.

10756
05:18:45,450 --> 05:18:46,217
We at the end of the day even

10757
05:18:46,217 --> 05:18:49,217
putting aside all my personal

10758
05:18:51,389 --> 05:18:54,989
concerns with what flock is a

10759
05:18:55,927 --> 05:18:56,728
machine you are deciding

10760
05:18:56,728 --> 05:18:57,462
whether to find a machine or

10761
05:18:57,462 --> 05:19:01,620
whether to fund the people that

10762
05:19:05,203 --> 05:19:05,970
live here and need your help.

10763
05:19:05,970 --> 05:19:06,571
>> Thank you for your time.

10764
05:19:06,571 --> 05:19:08,971
That's all you're done.

10765
05:19:12,744 --> 05:19:13,377
Three letter Hello Honorable

10766
05:19:13,377 --> 05:19:15,377
Council PRESIDENT Council

10767
05:19:18,616 --> 05:19:19,317
Members Thank you for making

10768
05:19:19,317 --> 05:19:20,170
street safety a priority this

10769
05:19:20,170 --> 05:19:22,417
year through speed reductions

10770
05:19:24,356 --> 05:19:25,900
and community plan updates.

10771
05:19:25,900 --> 05:19:25,757
I've seen your commitment but I

10772
05:19:25,757 --> 05:19:26,457
really can't understand how

10773
05:19:26,457 --> 05:19:29,457
staff expects existing work to

10774
05:19:30,629 --> 05:19:31,329
be completed by anyone except a

10775
05:19:31,329 --> 05:19:31,997
fully funded multimodal team.

10776
05:19:31,997 --> 05:19:34,397
Would this Council represent

10777
05:19:35,933 --> 05:19:36,635
its constituents and function

10778
05:19:36,635 --> 05:19:37,101
as intended with half or none

10779
05:19:37,101 --> 05:19:39,101
of its members?

10780
05:19:41,739 --> 05:19:42,339
I put a lot of effort into

10781
05:19:42,339 --> 05:19:43,740
getting the College Area

10782
05:19:43,740 --> 05:19:46,740
community plan passed with Safe

10783
05:19:47,913 --> 05:19:48,647
Streets initiatives specific

10784
05:19:48,647 --> 05:19:49,347
civically on managing the road

10785
05:19:49,347 --> 05:19:50,820
a quarter of the I have nearly

10786
05:19:50,820 --> 05:19:53,682
been hit on by cars multiple

10787
05:19:54,319 --> 05:19:54,986
times and I don't see how I

10788
05:19:54,986 --> 05:19:55,553
could feel safe on Montezuma

10789
05:19:55,553 --> 05:19:56,188
without the work that

10790
05:19:56,188 --> 05:19:58,588
the multimodal team does.

10791
05:19:59,157 --> 05:19:59,828
Please use those armory funds

10792
05:19:59,828 --> 05:20:00,292
and fully staffed multimodal

10793
05:20:00,292 --> 05:20:02,292
team this year.

10794
05:20:04,829 --> 05:20:07,829
Thank you Gilbert Olvera or

10795
05:20:10,235 --> 05:20:11,300
Hill whatever.

10796

Members My name is Gilbert.

10799
05:20:16,875 --> 05:20:17,576
I'm with the Legal Aid

10800
05:20:17,576 --> 05:20:18,276
Society's Inigo Legality is a

10801
05:20:18,276 --> 05:20:18,877
recipe for the city's eviction

10802
05:20:18,877 --> 05:20:20,877
prevention program which

10803
05:20:21,246 --> 05:20:21,813
provides free legal services.

10804
05:20:21,813 --> 05:20:22,480
Case management rental

Diego is to prevent

10807
05:20:27,653 --> 05:20:28,487
homelessness.

10808
05:20:28,487 --> 05:20:29,187
We understand the city's facing

10809
05:20:29,187 --> 05:20:29,855
serious budget constraints and

10810
05:20:29,855 --> 05:20:30,522
we're grateful for the mayor

10811
05:20:30,522 --> 05:20:33,522
and Council for Investing in

10812
05:20:34,359 --> 05:20:35,127
Homelessness Prevention.

10813
05:20:35,127 --> 05:20:35,827
Ebv is one of cinema's most

10814
05:20:35,827 --> 05:20:36,260
effective tools for preventing

10815
05:20:36,260 --> 05:20:38,260
homelessness.

10816
05:20:38,329 --> 05:20:39,630
From JULY 2024 through MARCH

10817
05:20:39,630 --> 05:20:42,630
26th, the program served nearly

10818
05:20:42,701 --> 05:20:43,335
40,000 households representing

10819
05:20:43,335 --> 05:20:44,360
over 8000 residents while

10820
05:20:44,360 --> 05:20:44,703
providing thousands of clinic

10821
05:20:44,703 --> 05:20:46,703
services, hotline responses,

10822
05:20:48,707 --> 05:20:49,174
referrals and outreach events

10823
05:20:49,174 --> 05:20:49,775
in the city.

10824
05:20:49,775 --> 05:20:50,476
Ebs Also smart fiscal

10825
05:20:50,476 --> 05:20:53,476
investment an average one time

10826
05:20:54,413 --> 05:20:55,147
cost per household of about

10827
05:20:55,147 --> 05:20:55,681
$1,100 compared to the nearly

10828
05:20:55,681 --> 05:20:56,348
$50,000 per year per

10829
05:20:56,348 --> 05:20:58,348
chronically homeless person.

10830
05:21:01,530 --> 05:21:01,754
It cost our government

10831
05:21:01,754 --> 05:21:03,754
eviction, prevented evictions

10832
05:21:07,359 --> 05:21:07,927
early avoids far greater deaths

10833
05:21:07,927 --> 05:21:08,631
the cost of shelters,

10834
05:21:08,631 --> 05:21:09,228
healthcare systems, emergency

10835
05:21:09,228 --> 05:21:09,861
services and the courts.

10836
05:21:09,861 --> 05:21:12,664
We urge County to maintain

10837
05:21:12,664 --> 05:21:13,970
level ib funding and thank you

10838
05:21:13,970 --> 05:21:13,566
for your time.

10839
05:21:13,566 --> 05:21:15,566
>> Thank you.

10840
05:21:17,970 --> 05:21:19,970
Maria Cortez.

10841
05:21:24,760 --> 05:21:24,413
>> Hello my name is Maria

10842
05:21:24,413 --> 05:21:25,143
Cortez.

10843
05:21:25,143 --> 05:21:28,743
I'm a resident of City Heights

10844
05:21:30,616 --> 05:21:31,283
and I am opposing you

10845
05:21:31,283 --> 05:21:33,283
considering cutting cutting

10846
05:21:36,121 --> 05:21:37,890
the parks and rec hours.

10847
05:21:37,890 --> 05:21:37,856
I know, I know some of us have

10848
05:21:37,856 --> 05:21:40,856
been saved but to consider

10849
05:21:43,610 --> 05:21:43,729
cutting their cutting their

10850
05:21:43,729 --> 05:21:44,429
hours is ridiculous because

10851
05:21:44,429 --> 05:21:48,629
the kids in the youth and even

10852
05:21:48,868 --> 05:21:49,368
the seniors we deserve a safe

10853
05:21:49,368 --> 05:21:50,350
place to go to.

10854
05:21:50,350 --> 05:21:53,350
We deserve to have somewhere

10855
05:21:54,740 --> 05:21:55,341
somewhere to relax somewhere or

10856
05:21:55,341 --> 05:21:56,108
to stay out of trouble

10857
05:21:56,108 --> 05:21:59,108
especially for our youth and

10858
05:22:00,646 --> 05:22:01,179
also defunding the police and

10859
05:22:01,179 --> 05:22:01,914
the fire department.

10860
05:22:01,914 --> 05:22:04,314
That's ridiculous because who's

10861
05:22:06,252 --> 05:22:06,919
going to be there when to

10862
05:22:06,919 --> 05:22:07,353
answer your call And there's

10863
05:22:07,353 --> 05:22:08,154
nobody there.

10864
05:22:08,154 --> 05:22:12,223
I know it ain't going to be

10865
05:22:12,223 --> 05:22:12,991
Ghostbusters.

10866
05:22:12,991 --> 05:22:13,592
So I'm saying don't defund

10867
05:22:13,592 --> 05:22:14,260
the police, don't defend

10868
05:22:14,260 --> 05:22:17,260
the fire department and also

10869
05:22:18,698 --> 05:22:21,980
consider don't defund libraries

10870
05:22:25,471 --> 05:22:26,710
and the park hours because this

10871
05:22:26,710 --> 05:22:26,739
is what we need.

10872
05:22:26,739 --> 05:22:29,139
>> Thank you for that.

10873
05:22:29,875 --> 05:22:30,476
Isabel Kay.

10874
05:22:30,476 --> 05:22:30,977
Hello, I'm City Council

10875
05:22:30,977 --> 05:22:32,977
PRESIDENT LaCava.

10876
05:22:35,848 --> 05:22:36,481
I reside in District one and I

10877
05:22:36,481 --> 05:22:37,283
have to say that even in

10878
05:22:37,283 --> 05:22:40,883
District one streets are in a

10879
05:22:42,821 --> 05:22:43,523
terrible mess that La Hoya and

10880
05:22:43,523 --> 05:22:46,523
the much needed commuter bike

10881
05:22:48,227 --> 05:22:48,828
path up the Gilman Drive is

10882
05:22:48,828 --> 05:22:49,461
still not completed and

10883
05:22:49,461 --> 05:22:51,861
the stormwater and habitat

10884
05:22:54,660 --> 05:22:54,767
restoration project at

10885
05:22:54,767 --> 05:22:55,368
the Northern Wildlife Reserve

10886
05:22:55,368 --> 05:22:55,735
is still not funded and

10887
05:22:55,735 --> 05:22:57,735
completed.

10888
05:22:59,872 --> 05:23:00,373
Where is all this money going

10889
05:23:00,373 --> 05:23:01,140
that the city has?

10890
05:23:01,140 --> 05:23:04,140
I do support fully funding

10891
05:23:06,450 --> 05:23:06,679
Measure b's needs including

10892
05:23:06,679 --> 05:23:07,460
the Commission for Police

10893
05:23:07,460 --> 05:23:09,460
Practices.

10894
05:23:12,685 --> 05:23:13,319
I finitely support eliminating

10895
05:23:13,319 --> 05:23:13,987
the flood system entirely.

10896
05:23:13,987 --> 05:23:17,587
This is a system that has

10897
05:23:18,623 --> 05:23:19,257
allowed the targeting and

10898
05:23:19,257 --> 05:23:21,257
assassination of teachers,

10899
05:23:24,130 --> 05:23:24,897
students, poets, doctors,

10900
05:23:24,897 --> 05:23:27,897
ambulance drivers in Gaza and

10901
05:23:30,937 --> 05:23:31,604
in Lebanon in many places.

10902
05:23:31,604 --> 05:23:32,105
>> Thank you for that

10903
05:23:32,105 --> 05:23:32,772
concluding remark.

10904
05:23:32,772 --> 05:23:36,372
John Brady if you can please

10905
05:23:37,177 --> 05:23:37,877
come forward your time.

10906
05:23:37,877 --> 05:23:38,378
Thank you By Matthew Carney

10907
05:23:38,378 --> 05:23:38,978
Thank you so much.

10908
05:23:38,978 --> 05:23:39,445
You'll have two minutes.

10909
05:23:39,445 --> 05:23:41,445
Please proceed.

10910
05:23:42,749 --> 05:23:43,416
I city council members John

10911
05:23:43,416 --> 05:23:44,117
Brady with lived experience

10912
05:23:44,117 --> 05:23:44,717
advisors We speak on behalf of

10913
05:23:44,717 --> 05:23:46,717
the homeless community.

10914
05:23:48,922 --> 05:23:49,588
I know this has been a tough

10915
05:23:49,588 --> 05:23:50,289
year and you guys have done

10916
05:23:50,289 --> 05:23:53,889
the best of me Gloria included

10917
05:23:54,427 --> 05:23:55,195
in keeping funding in place.

10918
05:23:55,195 --> 05:23:55,896
I just want to share that

10919
05:23:55,896 --> 05:23:56,629
the Good Day Center is a much

10920
05:23:56,629 --> 05:23:59,290
needed resource cutting funding

10921
05:23:59,999 --> 05:24:00,733
for that facility.

10922
05:24:00,733 --> 05:24:01,434
While I know that many of

10923
05:24:01,434 --> 05:24:02,135
the folks that owned property

10924
05:24:02,135 --> 05:24:05,380
around that area would like to

10925
05:24:05,380 --> 05:24:05,739
see it go away, it's going to

10926
05:24:05,739 --> 05:24:06,438
be a loss of a critical

10927
05:24:06,438 --> 05:24:06,806
resource that cannot be easily

10928
05:24:06,806 --> 05:24:08,806
replaced.

10929
05:24:10,977 --> 05:24:11,644
I also want to talk about

10930
05:24:11,644 --> 05:24:12,379
the cuts to the funding for

10931
05:24:12,379 --> 05:24:13,120
the family shelter that we were

10932
05:24:13,120 --> 05:24:16,120
announcing too soon to be

10933
05:24:17,183 --> 05:24:18,218
opening.

10934
05:24:18,218 --> 05:24:18,885
You know, as we know we do not

10935
05:24:18,885 --> 05:24:21,285
have enough shelter spaces.

10936
05:24:22,922 --> 05:24:23,422
It is it's a difficult time out

10937
05:24:23,422 --> 05:24:24,157
on the streets.

10938
05:24:24,157 --> 05:24:24,891
We don't know what the impact

10939
05:24:24,891 --> 05:24:29,910
is going to be with the food

10940
05:24:29,796 --> 05:24:30,462
stamp cuts that will be in

10941
05:24:30,462 --> 05:24:33,462
place starting JUNE 1st That

10942
05:24:33,800 --> 05:24:34,534
could affect as many as nearly

10943
05:24:34,534 --> 05:24:34,968
100,000 residents in the county

10944
05:24:34,968 --> 05:24:35,669
of San Diego.

10945
05:24:35,669 --> 05:24:36,336
So I have to ask in these

10946
05:24:36,336 --> 05:24:38,736
difficult times that you

10947
05:24:40,140 --> 05:24:40,473
consider restoring that

10948
05:24:40,473 --> 05:24:41,740
funding.

10949
05:24:41,740 --> 05:24:41,441
>> Thank you very much.

10950
05:24:41,441 --> 05:24:42,750

10965
05:25:06,199 --> 05:25:08,599
Good evening Council I'm

10966
05:25:09,970 --> 05:25:10,704
the River Trail advocacy

10967
05:25:10,704 --> 05:25:11,405
manager Jillian Quint here with

10968
05:25:11,405 --> 05:25:12,720
you again on behalf of the San

10969
05:25:12,720 --> 05:25:14,472
Diego River Park Foundation.

10970
05:25:16,677 --> 05:25:17,344
We strongly support Council

10971
05:25:17,344 --> 05:25:17,978
PRESIDENT MacArthur's budget

10972
05:25:17,978 --> 05:25:20,978
request to reopen the West

10973
05:25:22,649 --> 05:25:23,384
Valley River crossings Kip and

10974
05:25:23,384 --> 05:25:24,840
also Council member Whipper and

10975
05:25:24,840 --> 05:25:27,840
for your steadfast support as

10976
05:25:27,621 --> 05:25:28,322
well we urge the full Council

10977
05:25:28,322 --> 05:25:29,220
to join them and vote to

10978
05:25:29,220 --> 05:25:32,220
include the West Valley River

10979
05:25:33,459 --> 05:25:34,227
crossing in the budget.

10980
05:25:34,227 --> 05:25:34,928
This project was identified in

10981
05:25:34,928 --> 05:25:35,562
the Impact Fee study and has a

10982
05:25:35,562 --> 05:25:38,562
clear nexus for the funds.

10983
05:25:39,899 --> 05:25:40,601
It's backed by over 300 city

10984
05:25:40,601 --> 05:25:40,900
wide letters and multiple city

10985
05:25:40,900 --> 05:25:41,602
plans.

10986
05:25:41,602 --> 05:25:45,205
It is now in the hands of

10987
05:25:45,205 --> 05:25:45,472
the city to provide the lift

10988
05:25:45,472 --> 05:25:46,106
off.

10989
05:25:46,106 --> 05:25:48,506
Let's utilize the existing

10990
05:25:51,578 --> 05:25:52,212
revenue obligation Using these

10991
05:25:52,212 --> 05:25:52,646
fees does not compete with

10992
05:25:52,646 --> 05:25:53,380
general fund.

10993
05:25:53,380 --> 05:25:56,380
Instead it commits to districts

10994
05:25:57,484 --> 05:25:58,152
to three, seven and nine

10995
05:25:58,152 --> 05:25:58,719
increasing safe access to a

10996
05:25:58,719 --> 05:26:00,719
regional greenway for

10997
05:26:04,570 --> 05:26:04,725
communities that span nine

10998
05:26:04,725 --> 05:26:05,359
miles east along the scenic

10999
05:26:05,359 --> 05:26:06,590
over the trail watershed.

11000
05:26:06,590 --> 05:26:08,459
>> This crossing transforms a

11001
05:26:10,831 --> 05:26:11,298
dangerous gap in Thank you for

11002
05:26:11,298 --> 05:26:11,665
doing our work.

11003
05:26:11,665 --> 05:26:13,665
Thank you.

11004
05:26:15,269 --> 05:26:15,903

Danielle.

11007
05:26:21,541 --> 05:26:22,276
I'm a resident of District nine

11008
05:26:22,276 --> 05:26:22,976
member of City Heights Defense

11009
05:26:22,976 --> 05:26:23,410
Committee and a mental health

11010
05:26:23,410 --> 05:26:24,111
Board student.

11011
05:26:24,111 --> 05:26:26,511
City Heights Defense Committee

11012
05:26:27,648 --> 05:26:28,381
works closely with our

11013
05:26:28,381 --> 05:26:29,116
immigrant and refugee neighbors

11014
05:26:29,116 --> 05:26:29,349
who are being harmed by dhs And

11015
05:26:29,349 --> 05:26:31,349
I.

11016
05:26:32,686 --> 05:26:33,387
I support the people's budget

11017
05:26:33,387 --> 05:26:34,880
And I've learned through my

11018
05:26:34,880 --> 05:26:34,755
mental health work study that

11019
05:26:34,755 --> 05:26:37,755
being a community member we

11020
05:26:38,626 --> 05:26:39,293
keep us safe.

11021
05:26:39,293 --> 05:26:40,270
It's not the police or

11022
05:26:40,270 --> 05:26:43,270
surveillance that does that for

11023
05:26:44,865 --> 05:26:45,566
a community Wellness and safety

11024
05:26:45,566 --> 05:26:46,300
comes from community care and

11025
05:26:46,300 --> 05:26:46,900
resourcing care decreases crime

11026
05:26:46,900 --> 05:26:49,300
and increases safety and

11027
05:26:51,405 --> 05:26:52,390
outcomes for all community

11028
05:26:52,390 --> 05:26:52,706
members through humanistic

11029
05:26:52,706 --> 05:26:54,706
prevention and intervention.

11030
05:26:56,911 --> 05:26:57,778
These technologies are not with

11031
05:26:57,778 --> 05:26:58,512
humans in mind and are not with

11032
05:26:58,512 --> 05:26:59,146
care and are not recommended by

11033
05:26:59,146 --> 05:26:59,847
psychologists, academics,

11034
05:26:59,847 --> 05:27:02,683
people in the field that study

11035
05:27:02,683 --> 05:27:03,350
the humanity of them.

11036
05:27:03,350 --> 05:27:04,180
What works for communities I

11037
05:27:04,180 --> 05:27:07,180
ask you to decrease police

11038
05:27:08,122 --> 05:27:08,856
funding by 2% canceled entire

11039
05:27:08,856 --> 05:27:11,856
block contract leave canceled a

11040
05:27:11,892 --> 05:27:12,560
subcontract to save 2 million

11041
05:27:12,560 --> 05:27:13,259
and invest in what actually

11042
05:27:13,259 --> 05:27:13,928
creates community safety youth

11043
05:27:13,928 --> 05:27:15,928
programs, parks, libraries,

11044
05:27:18,299 --> 05:27:18,732
culture, public health all of

11045
05:27:18,732 --> 05:27:19,299
these things.

11046
05:27:19,299 --> 05:27:19,800
>> Thank you for that

11047
05:27:19,800 --> 05:27:21,800
concluding remark.

11048
05:27:24,238 --> 05:27:24,939
Amy in Council members My name

11049
05:27:24,939 --> 05:27:25,539
is Amy kind of morning teacher

11050
05:27:25,539 --> 05:27:27,939
a Latin American studies

11051
05:27:30,878 --> 05:27:31,646
program at uc San Diego.

11052
05:27:31,646 --> 05:27:32,279
I'm also a member of my

11053
05:27:32,279 --> 05:27:32,913
teachers union and also a

11054
05:27:32,913 --> 05:27:35,913
member of the City Defense

11055
05:27:36,500 --> 05:27:36,817
Committee.

11056
05:27:36,817 --> 05:27:37,451
Just next week we're going to

11057
05:27:37,451 --> 05:27:38,119
be celebrating the amazing

11058
05:27:38,119 --> 05:27:38,486
achievements of many of our

11059
05:27:38,486 --> 05:27:39,120
students.

11060
05:27:39,120 --> 05:27:42,120
Many of them have carried

11061
05:27:42,990 --> 05:27:43,724
additional burdens that most of

11062
05:27:43,724 --> 05:27:44,392
us never know working full time

11063
05:27:44,392 --> 05:27:46,792
navigating housing and food

11064
05:27:47,697 --> 05:27:48,228
insecurity, helping take care

11065
05:27:48,228 --> 05:27:48,930
of younger siblings.

11066
05:27:48,930 --> 05:27:49,630
The very programs on Earth are

11067
05:27:49,630 --> 05:27:50,298
the ones that have helped them

11068
05:27:50,298 --> 05:27:53,298
thrive and will continue to

11069
05:27:54,836 --> 05:27:55,603
help them thrive.

11070
05:27:55,603 --> 05:27:56,700
But this is the thing that

11071
05:27:56,700 --> 05:27:56,771
really gets me.

11072
05:27:56,771 --> 05:27:57,638
Last year some of my students

11073
05:27:57,638 --> 05:28:00,408
didn't even get to go to their

11074
05:28:00,408 --> 05:28:01,108
graduations.

11075
05:28:01,108 --> 05:28:01,809
Their family members didn't

11076
05:28:01,809 --> 05:28:02,510
join them because at this very

11077
05:28:02,510 --> 05:28:05,510
moment ice raids were picking

11078
05:28:06,947 --> 05:28:07,615
up in Southern California And

11079
05:28:07,615 --> 05:28:08,249
they're telling me now that

11080
05:28:08,249 --> 05:28:08,916
this year they're also not

11081
05:28:08,916 --> 05:28:09,617
going to fly because they're

11082
05:28:09,617 --> 05:28:12,587
scared because they know what

11083
05:28:12,587 --> 05:28:13,320
is tracking them.

11084
05:28:13,320 --> 05:28:14,550
They know it's not accountable

11085
05:28:14,550 --> 05:28:14,856
And we fear and that is truly a

11086
05:28:14,856 --> 05:28:19,270
shame and we can do better And

11087
05:28:19,270 --> 05:28:19,727
we know these contradictions

11088
05:28:19,727 --> 05:28:20,428
when you talk to your attacks

11089
05:28:20,428 --> 05:28:23,428
continue and our students out

11090
05:28:24,932 --> 05:28:25,633
of fear we invest in them in

11091
05:28:25,633 --> 05:28:26,134
their future and not in flock.

11092
05:28:26,134 --> 05:28:28,134
Thank you, Carrie.

11093
05:28:29,337 --> 05:28:29,637
If you can please come forward

11094
05:28:29,637 --> 05:28:30,370
.

11095
05:28:30,370 --> 05:28:30,605
>> Hello.

11096
05:28:30,605 --> 05:28:33,500
My name is Carrie.

11097
05:28:35,576 --> 05:28:36,277
She hurt and I'm speaking as a

11098
05:28:36,277 --> 05:28:36,711
concerned citizen who lives in

11099
05:28:36,711 --> 05:28:37,345
District two.

11100
05:28:37,345 --> 05:28:39,745
The proposed budget still

11101
05:28:41,683 --> 05:28:42,250
historically cut services such

11102
05:28:42,250 --> 05:28:42,817
as libraries, art arts

11103
05:28:42,817 --> 05:28:44,817
programs, homelessness

11104
05:28:47,550 --> 05:28:47,756
outreach, substance abuse

11105
05:28:47,756 --> 05:28:48,456
programs and many, many others

11106
05:28:48,456 --> 05:28:48,890
that have a direct benefit on

11107
05:28:48,890 --> 05:28:49,628
our community.

11108
05:28:49,628 --> 05:28:53,228
If we are serious about public

11109
05:28:54,195 --> 05:28:54,862
safety and preventing crime

11110
05:28:54,862 --> 05:28:55,430
then we need more of these

11111
05:28:55,430 --> 05:28:55,796
programs defunded, not

11112
05:28:55,796 --> 05:28:57,796
defunded.

11113
05:28:59,233 --> 05:29:00,135
When I moved to San Diego early

11114
05:29:00,135 --> 05:29:00,802
last year I was truly shocked

11115
05:29:00,802 --> 05:29:05,200
to see that my local O.B.

11116
05:29:05,807 --> 05:29:06,241
Library was only open Tuesdays

11117
05:29:06,241 --> 05:29:06,841
to Saturdays.

11118
05:29:06,841 --> 05:29:07,442
Surely such an important

11119
05:29:07,442 --> 05:29:08,109
community hub would have

11120
05:29:08,109 --> 05:29:11,709
the full support of the city

11121
05:29:11,946 --> 05:29:12,414
that is known for being so

11122
05:29:12,414 --> 05:29:13,114
family friendly?

11123
05:29:13,114 --> 05:29:13,782
So I'm here today fighting for

11124
05:29:13,782 --> 05:29:16,182
these important programs and

11125
05:29:18,219 --> 05:29:18,720
services to receive even more

11126
05:29:18,720 --> 05:29:19,387
funding, not less.

11127
05:29:19,387 --> 05:29:20,121
Specifically, if lot cameras

11128
05:29:20,121 --> 05:29:22,521
don't prevent crime investments

11129
05:29:24,126 --> 05:29:24,859
in the community, do I urge

11130
05:29:24,859 --> 05:29:25,460
the council to end the contract

11131
05:29:25,460 --> 05:29:25,826
and get rid of cameras?

11132
05:29:25,826 --> 05:29:27,826
Thank you.

11133
05:29:29,497 --> 05:29:33,970
Nadia Khan Are you able to

11134
05:29:34,869 --> 05:29:36,400
based.

11135
05:29:36,400 --> 05:29:39,774
>> Hi my name is Mike niu and I

11136
05:29:39,774 --> 05:29:40,442
want to advise you to send

11137
05:29:40,442 --> 05:29:41,142
Please restore the hours for

11138
05:29:41,142 --> 05:29:44,142
the San Diego City libraries.

11139
05:29:45,247 --> 05:29:45,914
We have over 250 individual

11140
05:29:45,914 --> 05:29:46,581
interactions over 30 events

11141
05:29:46,581 --> 05:29:49,581
that we participate with San

11142
05:29:50,919 --> 05:29:51,486
Diego City Library and all

11143
05:29:51,486 --> 05:29:52,120
those youth come from

11144
05:29:52,120 --> 05:29:54,520
communities where they are

11145
05:29:56,658 --> 05:29:57,920
either unhoused or they are

11146
05:29:57,920 --> 05:29:57,726
lower income.

11147
05:29:57,726 --> 05:29:58,426
These events allow them to

11148
05:29:58,426 --> 05:30:01,426
participate free of charge and

11149
05:30:03,799 --> 05:30:04,500
allow them to be part of it.

11150
05:30:04,500 --> 05:30:05,199
>> I've seen librarians feed

11151
05:30:05,199 --> 05:30:08,799
them, help them tutor them and

11152
05:30:09,304 --> 05:30:09,971
all of this is done without

11153
05:30:09,971 --> 05:30:12,371
block cameras, flock cameras

11154
05:30:14,776 --> 05:30:15,410
and police officers don't serve

11155
05:30:15,410 --> 05:30:16,111
the community the way that

11156
05:30:16,111 --> 05:30:16,845
librarians do and they deserve

11157
05:30:16,845 --> 05:30:20,445
our respect and they deserve to

11158
05:30:20,916 --> 05:30:21,683
be a priority.

11159
05:30:21,683 --> 05:30:22,250
Please make sure that you

11160
05:30:22,250 --> 05:30:24,650
restore the hours for

11161
05:30:24,753 --> 05:30:28,353
the libraries will be known as

11162
05:30:30,958 --> 05:30:31,259
if you can please come forward

11163
05:30:31,259 --> 05:30:33,259
.

11164
05:30:38,500 --> 05:30:39,660
So good evening Councilmember.

11165
05:30:39,660 --> 05:30:39,668
My name is Julie.

11166
05:30:39,668 --> 05:30:40,502
I am 16 years old.

11167
05:30:40,502 --> 05:30:44,306
I'm about to be a senior at

11168
05:30:44,306 --> 05:30:44,806
Lincoln High School and I live

11169
05:30:44,806 --> 05:30:45,506
in District four.

11170
05:30:45,506 --> 05:30:46,140
I'm here to sit and volunteer

11171
05:30:46,140 --> 05:30:49,140
with the Center on Policy

11172
05:30:50,110 --> 05:30:50,678
Initiatives.

11173
05:30:50,678 --> 05:30:51,413
I've been working at the rec

11174
05:30:51,413 --> 05:30:52,347
center of this past year and my

11175
05:30:52,347 --> 05:30:56,547
wish is that we do not cut

11176
05:30:56,785 --> 05:30:57,486
the budget for rec centers

11177
05:30:57,486 --> 05:30:57,853
because it cuts deep into our

11178
05:30:57,853 --> 05:30:58,554
community.

11179
05:30:58,554 --> 05:31:02,154
How we connect with each child

11180
05:31:03,225 --> 05:31:03,892
and how we try to find a way

11181
05:31:03,892 --> 05:31:04,592
these troubles of the older

11182
05:31:04,592 --> 05:31:04,893
generation to walk through our

11183
05:31:04,893 --> 05:31:06,893
doors.

11184
05:31:09,164 --> 05:31:09,865
We do not only fund parks, rec

11185
05:31:09,865 --> 05:31:10,532
centers and libraries but that

11186
05:31:10,532 --> 05:31:11,266
you maintain the funding so

11187
05:31:11,266 --> 05:31:14,690
that kids like me don't have to

11188
05:31:14,690 --> 05:31:14,803
spend our summer break asking

11189
05:31:14,803 --> 05:31:15,137
you to give us the resources we

11190
05:31:15,137 --> 05:31:17,137
deserve.

11191
05:31:19,308 --> 05:31:19,775
Thank you for your time.

11192
05:31:19,775 --> 05:31:21,775

Christopher Gomez.

11197
05:31:32,355 --> 05:31:33,210

Jerry do you have time ceded to

11203
05:31:40,696 --> 05:31:42,696

11204
05:31:44,133 --> 05:31:44,700
People ask.

11205
05:31:44,700 --> 05:31:45,301
Thank you so much.

11206
05:31:45,301 --> 05:31:45,768
You'll have two minutes.

11207
05:31:45,768 --> 05:31:46,134
Please proceed.

11208
05:31:46,134 --> 05:31:46,869
Thank you.

11209
05:31:46,869 --> 05:31:49,972
Thank you and good afternoon to

05:31:49,972 --> 05:31:50,306
council PRESIDENT Council

11211
05:31:50,306 --> 05:31:50,973

11212
05:31:50,973 --> 05:31:51,674
My name is Gerard Wilson and

11213
05:31:51,674 --> 05:31:52,341
the PRESIDENT Of the San Diego

11214
05:31:52,341 --> 05:31:54,341
Police Officers Association.

11215
05:31:55,143 --> 05:31:55,877
I want to thank the council

11216
05:31:55,877 --> 05:31:56,512
members who supported restoring

11217
05:31:56,512 --> 05:31:57,146
some sworn police officer

11218
05:31:57,146 --> 05:31:57,446
positions in their budget

11219
05:31:57,446 --> 05:31:59,446
memos.

11220
05:32:00,449 --> 05:32:01,116
Specifically, there are two

11221
05:32:01,116 --> 05:32:01,717
critical roles that we need

11222
05:32:01,717 --> 05:32:04,117
restored in this budget.

11223
05:32:05,220 --> 05:32:05,921
One is a sergeant in the sex

11224
05:32:05,921 --> 05:32:06,589
crimes unit and the other is a

11225
05:32:06,589 --> 05:32:07,890
sergeant in the Graffiti and

11226
05:32:07,890 --> 05:32:09,890
Virgin Gangs Unit.

11227
05:32:10,559 --> 05:32:11,930
These positions provide direct

11228
05:32:11,930 --> 05:32:11,794
operational value to

11229
05:32:11,794 --> 05:32:12,461
the department and the public.

11230
05:32:12,461 --> 05:32:15,461
Both of these positions are

11231
05:32:16,332 --> 05:32:16,732
currently filled by senior

11232
05:32:16,732 --> 05:32:17,333
supervisors.

11233
05:32:17,333 --> 05:32:17,967
The sex crimes sergeant

11234
05:32:17,967 --> 05:32:18,634
oversees some of the most

11235
05:32:18,634 --> 05:32:20,634
sensitive investigations we

11236
05:32:22,505 --> 05:32:23,139
handle and during already

11237
05:32:23,139 --> 05:32:23,806
convicted sex offenders of

05:32:23,806 --> 05:32:24,473
which there are over 1200 in

11239
05:32:24,473 --> 05:32:28,730
the city of San Diego are

11240
05:32:28,543 --> 05:32:29,178
registered.

11241
05:32:29,178 --> 05:32:29,812
If this position is cut,

11242
05:32:29,812 --> 05:32:30,513
the duties will fall on an

11243
05:32:30,513 --> 05:32:30,813
already overworked sex crimes

11244
05:32:30,813 --> 05:32:32,813
unit.

11245
05:32:34,350 --> 05:32:35,510
The graffiti sergeant helps

11246
05:32:35,510 --> 05:32:35,618

11247
05:32:35,618 --> 05:32:36,286

11248
05:32:36,286 --> 05:32:36,652
throughout neighborhoods in

11249
05:32:36,652 --> 05:32:38,652
the city.

11250
05:32:39,789 --> 05:32:40,489
Additionally for police

11251
05:32:40,489 --> 05:32:41,157
officers, positions are being

11252
05:32:41,157 --> 05:32:41,657
cut at a time when response

11253
05:32:41,657 --> 05:32:43,657
times are rising.

11254
05:32:44,794 --> 05:32:45,461
We have two of these specific

11255
05:32:45,461 --> 05:32:46,162
positions are restored that

11256
05:32:46,162 --> 05:32:48,562
will get targeted investments

11257
05:32:50,365 --> 05:32:51,660
in improve efficiency and

11258
05:32:51,660 --> 05:32:51,666

11259
05:32:51,666 --> 05:32:52,301
them in restoring these

11260
05:32:52,301 --> 05:32:52,601
positions and ask for your

11261
05:32:52,601 --> 05:32:54,601

11262
05:32:56,873 --> 05:32:57,573
Thank you today and also want

please come forward.

11275
05:33:14,623 --> 05:33:15,191
Good afternoon.

11276
05:33:15,191 --> 05:33:15,925
My name is Philip.

11277
05:33:15,925 --> 05:33:16,626
I'm in Residence District seven

11278
05:33:16,626 --> 05:33:19,461
and participate with the city

11279

11280
05:33:20,329 --> 05:33:21,300
I come to request support to

11281
05:33:21,300 --> 05:33:24,300
the West Valley River crossing

11282
05:33:25,501 --> 05:33:26,236
the city of River Trail.

11283
05:33:26,236 --> 05:33:26,969
It's essential to the quality

11284
05:33:26,969 --> 05:33:30,569
of life in Mission Valley which

11285
05:33:31,708 --> 05:33:32,408
is exploding in population and

11286
05:33:32,408 --> 05:33:33,760
enables the community to enjoy

11287
05:33:33,760 --> 05:33:33,742
physical activity a natural

11288
05:33:33,742 --> 05:33:36,142
setting important for mental

11289
05:33:38,470 --> 05:33:38,915
and physical health.

11290
05:33:38,915 --> 05:33:39,616
Right now there's a gap at that

11291
05:33:39,616 --> 05:33:42,616
bridge the river trail forcing

11292
05:33:43,753 --> 05:33:44,454
families and pedestrians onto

11293
05:33:44,454 --> 05:33:48,540
high speed roads just to get

11294
05:33:48,958 --> 05:33:49,625
across the west for crossing

11295
05:33:49,625 --> 05:33:50,293
bridges, critical buildings,

11296
05:33:50,293 --> 05:33:52,693
pedestrian and bicycle will

11297
05:33:55,832 --> 05:33:56,566
transforming broken unsafe gap

11298
05:33:56,566 --> 05:33:57,233
into a continuous flow allowing

11299
05:33:57,233 --> 05:34:00,233
people to travel safely from

11300
05:34:01,738 --> 05:34:02,171
east to west All end up without

11301
05:34:02,171 --> 05:34:02,906
needing a car.

11302
05:34:02,906 --> 05:34:04,906
Beautiful public infrastructure

11303
05:34:07,744 --> 05:34:08,311
an investment in our economic

11304
05:34:08,311 --> 05:34:09,120

11305
05:34:09,120 --> 05:34:12,120
Turning pass through areas and

11306
05:34:15,385 --> 05:34:16,860

and I'm an organizer with

11314
05:34:28,310 --> 05:34:28,732
the San Diego and Ariel

11315
05:34:28,732 --> 05:34:30,300
Counties Labor Council also a

11316
05:34:30,300 --> 05:34:31,100
resident of District three And

11317
05:34:31,100 --> 05:34:31,568
I'm here to support innovative

11318
05:34:31,568 --> 05:34:32,267
solutions during these

11319
05:34:32,267 --> 05:34:32,569
incredibly challenging fiscal

11320
05:34:32,569 --> 05:34:34,569
times.

11321
05:34:36,573 --> 05:34:37,274
You have the choice to invest

11322
05:34:37,274 --> 05:34:37,840
in your constituents and their

11323
05:34:37,840 --> 05:34:38,542
concerns to listen to

11324
05:34:38,542 --> 05:34:40,942
the overwhelming research that

11325
05:34:41,945 --> 05:34:42,612
shows funding social services

11326
05:34:42,612 --> 05:34:43,280
is a crime prevention tactic

11327
05:34:43,280 --> 05:34:45,680
that makes communities more

11328
05:34:47,583 --> 05:34:48,451
safe, more livable.

11329
05:34:48,451 --> 05:34:49,152
Or you can choose to continue

11330
05:34:49,152 --> 05:34:49,819
funding a dystopian technology

11331
05:34:49,819 --> 05:34:53,419
that has shown us its flaws

11332
05:34:54,391 --> 05:34:55,910
time and time again that has

11333
05:34:55,910 --> 05:34:55,659
shown us its many avenues for

11334
05:34:55,659 --> 05:34:56,293
abuse and how it will

11335
05:34:56,293 --> 05:34:59,293
inevitably be used by this

11336
05:35:00,430 --> 05:35:01,131
Federal ministration to harm

11337
05:35:01,131 --> 05:35:01,531
the very communities it claims

11338
05:35:01,531 --> 05:35:02,165
to protect.

11339
05:35:02,165 --> 05:35:02,666
Ending Floc will not solve

11340
05:35:02,666 --> 05:35:04,666
the budget crisis.

11341
05:35:06,502 --> 05:35:07,170
We understand this but this

11342
05:35:07,170 --> 05:35:07,771
choice matters to the people

11343
05:35:07,771 --> 05:35:08,405
who be most impacted by

11344
05:35:08,405 --> 05:35:08,772
the changes to funding in

11345
05:35:08,772 --> 05:35:10,772
the city.

11346
05:35:12,376 --> 05:35:13,376
We urge you to listen to them.

11347
05:35:13,376 --> 05:35:14,110
We urge you to listen to us and

11348
05:35:14,110 --> 05:35:14,678
divert flight contract funds to

11349
05:35:14,678 --> 05:35:15,450
preventative community

11350
05:35:15,450 --> 05:35:17,450
services.

11351
05:35:17,346 --> 05:35:19,346
Thank you.

11352
05:35:24,221 --> 05:35:25,880
Corina Vega.

11353
05:35:25,880 --> 05:35:25,522
I want to see my time to

11354
05:35:25,522 --> 05:35:27,522
Anthony Ralph.

11355
05:35:29,526 --> 05:35:30,126
Okay Anthony please come up.

11356
05:35:30,126 --> 05:35:30,594
You'll have two minutes.

11357
05:35:30,594 --> 05:35:30,961
Please proceed.

11358
05:35:30,961 --> 05:35:31,328
All right.

11359
05:35:31,328 --> 05:35:32,162
Thank you.

11360
05:35:32,162 --> 05:35:35,762
Council, I would like to start

11361
05:35:35,766 --> 05:35:36,500
by asking this room Well,

11362
05:35:36,500 --> 05:35:37,167
actually specifically the chief

11363
05:35:37,167 --> 05:35:37,834
of police since I know that

11364
05:35:37,834 --> 05:35:41,434
he's here right now, I would

11365
05:35:41,571 --> 05:35:42,272
like to ask him if they have to

11366
05:35:42,272 --> 05:35:42,940
break laws to catch criminals.

11367
05:35:42,940 --> 05:35:45,940
What's the point of law

11368
05:35:47,578 --> 05:35:47,944
enforcement?

11369
05:35:47,944 --> 05:35:48,612
Please?

11370
05:35:48,612 --> 05:35:49,213
I'm asking you Joe LaCava,

11371
05:35:49,213 --> 05:35:51,613
don't waste this public

11372
05:35:53,650 --> 05:35:54,117
engagement, this crowd

11373
05:35:54,117 --> 05:35:54,818
participation.

11374
05:35:54,818 --> 05:35:55,152
This is a level of civic

11375
05:35:55,152 --> 05:35:55,852
parties.

11376
05:35:55,852 --> 05:35:56,553
This is a level of civic party

11377
05:35:56,553 --> 05:35:58,953
participation that you rarely

11378
05:35:59,656 --> 05:36:00,157
see.

11379
05:36:00,157 --> 05:36:00,857
Don't squander it.

11380
05:36:00,857 --> 05:36:01,558
Don't squander the good faith

11381
05:36:01,558 --> 05:36:02,920
of the people in this room who

11382
05:36:02,920 --> 05:36:02,793
believe their civic

11383
05:36:02,793 --> 05:36:04,793
participation matters because

11384
05:36:05,762 --> 05:36:06,397
it does.

11385
05:36:06,397 --> 05:36:07,630
This is what the social

11386
05:36:07,630 --> 05:36:07,798
contract is predicated upon.

11387
05:36:07,798 --> 05:36:11,802
We agree to be governed so long

11388
05:36:11,802 --> 05:36:12,569
as you agree to listen to us

11389
05:36:12,569 --> 05:36:12,970
PRESIDENT I'm begging you to be

11390
05:36:12,970 --> 05:36:13,704
responsible.

11391
05:36:13,704 --> 05:36:17,407
Our city is at a breaking point

11392
05:36:17,407 --> 05:36:18,107
Trust in the police has never

11393
05:36:18,107 --> 05:36:18,809
been lower and rightfully so.

11394
05:36:18,809 --> 05:36:21,611
Just last Sunday the Times of

11395
05:36:21,611 --> 05:36:22,247
San Diego reported that two men

11396
05:36:22,247 --> 05:36:22,780
were falsely arrested and

11397
05:36:22,780 --> 05:36:23,447
imprisoned based on

11398
05:36:23,447 --> 05:36:26,447
the misreadings of the data

11399
05:36:28,419 --> 05:36:28,686
provided to them by flock from

11400
05:36:28,686 --> 05:36:29,353
sdp.

11401
05:36:29,353 --> 05:36:30,540
These two men were arrested.

11402
05:36:30,540 --> 05:36:30,754
They weren't even in the same

11403
05:36:30,754 --> 05:36:34,580
area where the car was stolen

11404
05:36:34,580 --> 05:36:34,758
But because sdp failed to read

11405
05:36:34,758 --> 05:36:35,492
the license plate they entered

11406
05:36:35,492 --> 05:36:38,492
a car description matching what

11407
05:36:39,797 --> 05:36:40,564
they thought they saw.

11408
05:36:40,564 --> 05:36:41,498
Turns out they were wrong.

11409
05:36:41,498 --> 05:36:44,334
Well, now those two men are

11410
05:36:44,334 --> 05:36:44,768
suing the city asking for $1.5

11411
05:36:44,768 --> 05:36:45,435
million each.

11412
05:36:45,435 --> 05:36:49,350
When the dust is settled on

11413
05:36:50,400 --> 05:36:50,707
that lawsuit and the city

11414
05:36:50,707 --> 05:36:51,408
settles for violating their

11415
05:36:51,408 --> 05:36:52,108
rights, we will likely lose $1

11416
05:36:52,108 --> 05:36:55,108
million on that single error

11417
05:36:56,814 --> 05:36:57,381
alone which is nearly half

11418
05:36:57,381 --> 05:36:57,747
the cost of the flight

11419
05:36:57,747 --> 05:36:58,416
contract.

11420
05:36:58,416 --> 05:36:59,116
For those of you supporting

11421
05:36:59,116 --> 05:37:02,219
this block contract, I want to

11422
05:37:02,219 --> 05:37:02,853
ask why is this collateral

11423
05:37:02,853 --> 05:37:03,554
damage acceptable to you?

11424
05:37:03,554 --> 05:37:04,188
Why don't you care about human

11425
05:37:04,188 --> 05:37:06,588
rights, privacy rights or

11426
05:37:08,250 --> 05:37:08,726
fiscal responsibility in

11427
05:37:08,726 --> 05:37:09,393
the middle of a budget crisis?

11428
05:37:09,393 --> 05:37:12,993
Is it because this is coming

11429
05:37:13,530 --> 05:37:13,831
out of the public reserve funds

11430
05:37:13,831 --> 05:37:14,598
?

11431
05:37:14,598 --> 05:37:15,266
Sdp needs a better way to

11432
05:37:15,266 --> 05:37:17,666
unload their staffing issue

11433
05:37:19,737 --> 05:37:20,438
than offloading their labor to

11434
05:37:20,438 --> 05:37:21,138
luxury surveillance technology

11435
05:37:21,138 --> 05:37:24,138
in a predictive police state.

11436
05:37:27,144 --> 05:37:27,878
Thank you Can't leave for

11437
05:37:27,878 --> 05:37:28,612
changing your position on Floc.

11438
05:37:28,612 --> 05:37:28,979
That means a lot to the city of

11439
05:37:28,979 --> 05:37:30,979
San Diego.

11440
05:37:32,950 --> 05:37:33,484

11504
05:39:46,217 --> 05:39:46,918
Cuts in consolidation to our

playgrounds.

11516
05:40:09,841 --> 05:40:10,275
Currently there are no trees

11517
05:40:10,275 --> 05:40:12,275
and no shade.

11518
05:40:15,513 --> 05:40:16,247
Aarp quit build traffic calming

Invest in our community.

11524
05:40:32,264 --> 05:40:34,264
Thank you everyone.

11525
05:40:39,400 --> 05:40:39,704
Hello my name is Ari indicated

11526
05:40:39,704 --> 05:40:40,338
I'm a resident of District one

11527
05:40:40,338 --> 05:40:43,338
and the board PRESIDENT Of

11528
05:40:44,543 --> 05:40:45,210
the Student Civil Liberties

11529
05:40:45,210 --> 05:40:45,577
Union which is a youth

11530
05:40:45,577 --> 05:40:46,278
nonprofit.

11531
05:40:46,278 --> 05:40:49,878
I'm here to demand two things

11532
05:40:49,881 --> 05:40:50,682
Firstly the continued funding

11533
05:40:50,682 --> 05:40:51,149
of the Office for Child and

11534
05:40:51,149 --> 05:40:51,884
Youth Services.

11535
05:40:51,884 --> 05:40:52,517
Sorry success in San Diego with

11536
05:40:52,517 --> 05:40:54,517
additional funding through

11537
05:40:56,880 --> 05:40:56,788
the full termination of our

11538
05:40:56,788 --> 05:40:57,322
city's automated license plate

11539
05:40:57,322 --> 05:40:57,989
reader contract with

11540
05:40:57,989 --> 05:41:01,589
the vehicle or at least our

11541
05:41:02,794 --> 05:41:03,395
subcontract with.

11542
05:41:03,395 --> 05:41:04,950
Furthermore, them and

11543
05:41:04,950 --> 05:41:06,495
the overinflated police budget

11544
05:41:08,800 --> 05:41:09,501
has placed a multimillion

11545
05:41:09,501 --> 05:41:10,135
dollar burden on the city and

11546
05:41:10,135 --> 05:41:10,769
instead of supporting and

11547
05:41:10,769 --> 05:41:12,769
promoting our marginalized

11548
05:41:14,907 --> 05:41:15,607
populations we are using

11549
05:41:15,607 --> 05:41:16,308
surveillance that is dangerous

11550
05:41:16,308 --> 05:41:19,908
misuse and a harmful waste of

11551
05:41:20,246 --> 05:41:20,913
our city resources that hurts

11552
05:41:20,913 --> 05:41:21,415
our immigrant and people of

11553
05:41:21,415 --> 05:41:22,470
color populations.

11554
05:41:22,470 --> 05:41:22,681
In order to really change

11555
05:41:22,681 --> 05:41:25,681
the landscape of crime and

11556
05:41:27,860 --> 05:41:27,719
homelessness in our city, we

11557
05:41:27,719 --> 05:41:28,454
have to invest in the real

11558
05:41:28,454 --> 05:41:28,954
problem which is our investment

11559
05:41:28,954 --> 05:41:30,954
in the community.

11560
05:41:33,759 --> 05:41:34,460
So please do take the right

11561
05:41:34,460 --> 05:41:35,127
decision and de-fund work and

11562
05:41:35,127 --> 05:41:38,127
support the Office of Child

11563
05:41:38,630 --> 05:41:39,980
Youth Success.

11564
05:41:39,980 --> 05:41:39,598
>> Thank you.

11565
05:41:39,598 --> 05:41:39,898
Thank you, Daniel.

11566
05:41:39,898 --> 05:41:41,898
Sorry.

11567
05:41:44,769 --> 05:41:45,104
Good afternoon, Council

11568
05:41:45,104 --> 05:41:45,704
members.

11569
05:41:45,704 --> 05:41:46,405
My name is Daniel Soria.

11570
05:41:46,405 --> 05:41:47,106
I am the executive director of

11571
05:41:47,106 --> 05:41:49,506
Students Civil Liberties Union

11572
05:41:50,909 --> 05:41:51,544
representing a coalition of

11573
05:41:51,544 --> 05:41:52,144
student organizers across

11574
05:41:52,144 --> 05:41:52,811
districts one and three.

11575
05:41:52,811 --> 05:41:56,411
How you vote on this budget

11576
05:41:56,616 --> 05:41:56,916
demonstrates where your values

11577
05:41:56,916 --> 05:41:57,616
life.

11578
05:41:57,616 --> 05:41:58,317
We will always discover money

11579
05:41:58,317 --> 05:42:00,717
for surveillance and criminal

11580
05:42:03,155 --> 05:42:03,856
criminal ization but somehow

11581
05:42:03,856 --> 05:42:06,856
investing in youth, in parks,

11582
05:42:08,761 --> 05:42:09,361
in environmental justice well

11583
05:42:09,361 --> 05:42:09,962
oftentimes we deem that

11584
05:42:09,962 --> 05:42:11,962
downright unaffordable.

11585
05:42:14,666 --> 05:42:15,367
We reject that logic.

11586
05:42:15,367 --> 05:42:18,367
Austerity is indeed a choice

11587
05:42:20,720 --> 05:42:20,406
and today so is accountability

11588
05:42:20,406 --> 05:42:21,173
.

11589
05:42:21,173 --> 05:42:21,906
So we ask that you support

11590
05:42:21,906 --> 05:42:25,506
the future leaders of the city.

11591
05:42:25,544 --> 05:42:26,312
Here is one concrete choice

11592
05:42:26,312 --> 05:42:27,130
right in front of you at this

11593
05:42:27,130 --> 05:42:29,413
moment Cancel the ubiquitous

11594
05:42:32,618 --> 05:42:33,319
surveillance contract.

11595
05:42:33,319 --> 05:42:33,985
Take that money and put it

11596
05:42:33,985 --> 05:42:34,653
where it belongs into youth

11597
05:42:34,653 --> 05:42:37,530
access into libraries, parks

11598
05:42:37,590 --> 05:42:38,190
and recreation, stormwater

11599
05:42:38,190 --> 05:42:38,824
infrastructure and in a

11600
05:42:38,824 --> 05:42:40,824
pedestrian beacon outside

11601
05:42:43,129 --> 05:42:43,629
the Rosa Parks Elementary

11602
05:42:43,629 --> 05:42:44,330
beyond the cycle.

11603
05:42:44,330 --> 05:42:46,730
>> Thank you, council members.

11604
05:42:49,568 --> 05:42:50,169
Thank you, Danny.

11605
05:42:50,169 --> 05:42:50,503
Good afternoon, Council

11606
05:42:50,503 --> 05:42:51,237
members.

11607
05:42:51,237 --> 05:42:55,374
My name is Dan and I'm a

11608
05:42:55,374 --> 05:42:56,750
resident of District one of

11609
05:42:56,750 --> 05:42:56,776
the Burlington Civil Liberties

11610
05:42:56,776 --> 05:42:57,243
Union and the San Diego Youth

11611
05:42:57,243 --> 05:42:59,243
Action Network.

11612
05:43:01,981 --> 05:43:02,648
I'm here today on behalf of my

11613
05:43:02,648 --> 05:43:03,282
other peers young people who

11614
05:43:03,282 --> 05:43:06,282
want to build their future

11615
05:43:06,286 --> 05:43:07,190
the San Diego beloved District

11616
05:43:07,190 --> 05:43:07,620
one District three District six

11617
05:43:07,620 --> 05:43:08,187
District eight and I ask

11618
05:43:08,187 --> 05:43:10,587
the Council to cancel

11619
05:43:12,580 --> 05:43:12,692
the contract with you because I

11620
05:43:12,692 --> 05:43:13,426
ask that the City Council

11621
05:43:13,426 --> 05:43:15,826
terminate this contract because

11622
05:43:18,698 --> 05:43:19,398
we so need programs for youth

11623
05:43:19,398 --> 05:43:20,990
access and services that allow

11624
05:43:20,990 --> 05:43:20,567
us the city to thrive instead

11625
05:43:20,567 --> 05:43:22,567
of surveillance.

11626
05:43:24,103 --> 05:43:24,804
It doesn't make any sense that

11627
05:43:24,804 --> 05:43:25,538
while more funds are dedicated

11628
05:43:25,538 --> 05:43:26,138
to criminalization programs for

11629
05:43:26,138 --> 05:43:29,138
us, for young people and

11630
05:43:29,709 --> 05:43:30,343
working class individuals are

11631
05:43:30,343 --> 05:43:33,343
thrown to the wayside, I'm

11632
05:43:35,140 --> 05:43:35,681
asking you all to prioritize,

11633
05:43:35,681 --> 05:43:36,416
to prioritize our well-being

11634
05:43:36,416 --> 05:43:37,500
and not just and not to mention

11635
05:43:37,500 --> 05:43:40,650
that many of us have been

11636
05:43:41,888 --> 05:43:42,587
shocked by the recent use of

11637
05:43:42,587 --> 05:43:43,560
these smart cameras leading to

11638
05:43:43,560 --> 05:43:43,723
wrongful arrest.

11639
05:43:43,723 --> 05:43:47,260
I'll be more shocked if this

11640
05:43:47,260 --> 05:43:47,626
unreliable, unreliable and

11641
05:43:47,626 --> 05:43:48,361
innovative technology is

11642
05:43:48,361 --> 05:43:48,928
prioritized over the well-being

11643
05:43:48,928 --> 05:43:51,328
of San Diego's youth.

11644
05:43:53,766 --> 05:43:54,466
So I'm asking PRESIDENT LaCava

11645
05:43:54,466 --> 05:43:55,168
and Councilmember Woodburn to

11646
05:43:55,168 --> 05:43:55,835
please terminate the Thank you

11647
05:43:55,835 --> 05:43:57,904

Thank you, Council for our

possible good direction in our

11669
05:44:48,210 --> 05:44:51,424
current budget work as there is

11670
05:44:51,424 --> 05:44:52,920
much anger and fear towards our

11671
05:44:52,920 --> 05:44:52,692
practices at this time, City

11672
05:44:52,692 --> 05:44:53,425
Council MAY present some

11673
05:44:53,425 --> 05:44:56,425
interesting plans today or soon

11674
05:44:58,398 --> 05:44:59,980
to try to leave work But if

11675
05:44:59,980 --> 05:44:59,833
this new plan doesn't work and

11676
05:44:59,833 --> 05:45:00,466
San Diego will have to continue

11677
05:45:00,466 --> 05:45:04,660
with Block in a few months

11678
05:45:04,137 --> 05:45:04,804
time, can we then be prepared

11679
05:45:04,804 --> 05:45:05,572
for immediate next steps for

11680
05:45:05,572 --> 05:45:06,172

05:45:11,310 --> 05:45:12,120
process that invite the entire

11683
05:45:12,120 --> 05:45:12,712
San Diego community and so we

11684
05:45:12,712 --> 05:45:15,712
can decide together who could

11685
05:45:16,616 --> 05:45:17,350
be the best to help your vendor

11686
05:45:17,350 --> 05:45:17,717
besides Block for the future of

11687
05:45:17,717 --> 05:45:18,418
San Diego.

11688
05:45:18,418 --> 05:45:20,818
I've described regularly that

11689
05:45:21,888 --> 05:45:22,656
this is what Oakland Alameda

11690
05:45:22,656 --> 05:45:23,230
County are trying to develop at

11691
05:45:23,230 --> 05:45:23,757
this time.

11692
05:45:23,757 --> 05:45:24,191
It is simply an important model

11693
05:45:24,191 --> 05:45:24,925
for San Diego.

11694
05:45:24,925 --> 05:45:27,925
I have also regularly described

11695
05:45:28,661 --> 05:45:29,162
for the past year now have

11696
05:45:29,162 --> 05:45:29,696
smaller amounts of

11697
05:45:29,696 --> 05:45:30,364
strategically placed

11698
05:45:30,364 --> 05:45:31,640
surveillance can accomplish

11699
05:45:31,640 --> 05:45:34,640
mostly the same public safety

11700
05:45:34,901 --> 05:45:35,668
needs and local neighborhoods

11701
05:45:35,668 --> 05:45:36,303
and they can also save up to

11702
05:45:36,303 --> 05:45:38,303
possibly $125,000 or more.

11703
05:45:41,410 --> 05:45:41,608
We also need more open and

11704
05:45:41,608 --> 05:45:42,308
accountable community

11705
05:45:42,308 --> 05:45:42,976

11706
05:45:42,976 --> 05:45:45,879

How do we have that

11710
05:45:47,648 --> 05:45:49,648
conversation?

11711
05:45:51,418 --> 05:45:53,418
Travis Bouchard openly.

11712
05:45:57,624 --> 05:45:58,458
Hello Travis District seven.

11713
05:45:58,458 --> 05:46:02,658
In the words of Harvey Milk let

11714
05:46:03,730 --> 05:46:04,331
me have my tax money go for my

11715
05:46:04,331 --> 05:46:04,731
protection and not my

11716
05:46:04,731 --> 05:46:05,532
prosecution.

11717
05:46:05,532 --> 05:46:09,132
Let my tax money go to

11718
05:46:09,970 --> 05:46:10,637
protection of me when you can't

11719
05:46:10,637 --> 05:46:14,237
be a champion of Harvey Milk

11720
05:46:16,509 --> 05:46:17,110
legacy while voting to fund

11721
05:46:17,110 --> 05:46:17,711
police surveillance and

11722
05:46:17,711 --> 05:46:18,345
de-funding rec centers,

11723
05:46:18,345 --> 05:46:20,745
libraries, arts and youth.

11724
05:46:22,355 --> 05:46:23,117
Prioritizing someone Recovering

11725
05:46:23,117 --> 05:46:23,784
or stolen care over kids having

11726
05:46:23,784 --> 05:46:26,784
access to libraries and rec

11727
05:46:28,622 --> 05:46:31,622

over the coals in 28 with your

11730
05:46:36,429 --> 05:46:38,829
you're able villainizing street

11731
05:46:39,433 --> 05:46:40,000
vendors for a full minute and

11732
05:46:40,000 --> 05:46:40,701
now funding government

11733
05:46:40,701 --> 05:46:41,101
surveillance potentially for a

11734
05:46:41,101 --> 05:46:41,836
second time.

11735
05:46:41,836 --> 05:46:42,169
Remember the left and right are

11736
05:46:42,169 --> 05:46:44,169
aligned.

11737
05:46:47,641 --> 05:46:48,750
They don't want government

11738
05:46:48,750 --> 05:46:48,676
surveillance.

11739
05:46:48,676 --> 05:46:49,376
It's a bipartisan issue.

11740
05:46:49,376 --> 05:46:51,579
You don't narrow hopes you're

11741
05:46:51,579 --> 05:46:52,179
going to bash them right now

11742

cancel bloc class action

11743
05:46:52,880 --> 05:46:53,480
lawsuits are coming which will

11744
05:46:53,480 --> 05:46:55,880
further kill your budget

11745
05:46:58,719 --> 05:46:59,486
funding Ultimately.

11746
05:46:59,486 --> 05:47:02,486
>> Marco Rubio hurdle Marco you

11751
05:47:11,298 --> 05:47:14,898
Hi, my name is Serena Kooser.

11752
05:47:15,268 --> 05:47:15,903
I would also like to proceed my

11753
05:47:15,903 --> 05:47:16,570
time to my coworker Serena

11754
05:47:16,570 --> 05:47:17,400
because I think you'll have

11755
05:47:17,400 --> 05:47:17,471
three minutes.

11756
05:47:17,471 --> 05:47:17,738
Please proceed.

11757
05:47:17,738 --> 05:47:19,738
Hi.

11758
05:47:20,941 --> 05:47:21,676
Council members.

11759
05:47:21,676 --> 05:47:22,343
My name is Michael Lockhart,

11760
05:47:22,343 --> 05:47:24,743
resident of District three.

11761
05:47:27,114 --> 05:47:27,782
I'm here to advocate for

11762
05:47:27,782 --> 05:47:28,416
the canceling of the Flugge

11763
05:47:28,416 --> 05:47:31,416
contract and funding of of

11764
05:47:33,187 --> 05:47:33,854
humans and arts programs and

11765
05:47:33,854 --> 05:47:34,422
parks and raising libraries

11766
05:47:34,422 --> 05:47:36,822
The unrolling of mass

11767
05:47:39,226 --> 05:47:39,927
surveillance technology started

11768
05:47:39,927 --> 05:47:42,327
after 2001 after 911 and it's

11769
05:47:44,231 --> 05:47:44,799
well documented of the way that

11770
05:47:44,799 --> 05:47:45,499
the mass surveillance

11771
05:47:45,499 --> 05:47:47,899
technologies have been abused

11772
05:47:50,700 --> 05:47:50,805
by the government targeting

11773
05:47:50,805 --> 05:47:53,805
people of color Muslims, Arabs

11774
05:47:55,977 --> 05:47:56,677
And even though we we're we're

11775
05:47:56,677 --> 05:47:59,770
we're positioning ourselves as

11776
05:48:02,417 --> 05:48:02,984
trying to prevent hate crimes

11777
05:48:02,984 --> 05:48:03,618
in certain areas by

11778
05:48:03,618 --> 05:48:05,618
implementing surveillance

11779
05:48:08,823 --> 05:48:09,524
technologies, there's a much

11780
05:48:09,524 --> 05:48:10,257
longer and larger track record

11781
05:48:10,257 --> 05:48:10,991
of mass surveillance being used

11782
05:48:10,991 --> 05:48:14,591
as one large hate crime against

11783
05:48:15,263 --> 05:48:16,970
Americans by by the government.

11784
05:48:16,970 --> 05:48:19,697
And this is something that it's

11785
05:48:21,468 --> 05:48:22,170
demonstrated you know, over 25

11786
05:48:22,170 --> 05:48:22,870
years and it's something that

11787
05:48:22,870 --> 05:48:26,470
32 cities across the U.S. Have

11788
05:48:27,208 --> 05:48:27,942
have understood and decided to

11789
05:48:27,942 --> 05:48:28,309
to cancel their their contracts

11790
05:48:28,309 --> 05:48:30,309
Write it.

11791
05:48:32,613 --> 05:48:33,314
We're trying to act like if

11792
05:48:33,314 --> 05:48:33,981
we're afraid of of some

11793
05:48:33,981 --> 05:48:36,381
individuals while there's a

11794
05:48:38,453 --> 05:48:39,120
much larger governmental abuse

11795
05:48:39,120 --> 05:48:41,520
violation issue and because

11796
05:48:44,592 --> 05:48:45,259
it's not if it's it's when

11797
05:48:45,259 --> 05:48:45,960
these these technologies are

11798
05:48:45,960 --> 05:48:48,960
going to be infiltrated abused

11799
05:48:50,698 --> 05:48:51,399
and and it just creates more

11800
05:48:51,399 --> 05:48:54,999
loopholes for for the abuse of

11801
05:48:57,305 --> 05:48:58,390
law enforcement and and it

11802
05:48:58,390 --> 05:49:00,439
creates a self-reinforcing loop

11803
05:49:02,243 --> 05:49:02,977
where if if you're if you

11804
05:49:02,977 --> 05:49:03,744
taking resources away from from

11805
05:49:03,744 --> 05:49:06,744
individuals and you them and

11806
05:49:08,850 --> 05:49:09,450
your and those resources into

11807
05:49:09,450 --> 05:49:10,118
law enforcement you just

11808
05:49:10,118 --> 05:49:12,118
further criminalizing those

11809
05:49:14,288 --> 05:49:15,230
those communities please cancel

11810
05:49:15,230 --> 05:49:18,623

He didn't use the third minute.

11814
05:49:25,467 --> 05:49:29,667
You still want to set your time

Please proceed.

11823
05:49:48,123 --> 05:49:48,823
It's ironic I stand here with

11824
05:49:48,823 --> 05:49:49,491
almost speechless but with so

11825
05:49:49,491 --> 05:49:50,358
many things to say And it's

11826
05:49:50,358 --> 05:49:54,558
kind of I guess what you would

11827
05:49:54,896 --> 05:49:59,960
say deja vu because I was here

11828
05:49:59,334 --> 05:49:59,768
in 2020 two to have a 24 hour

11829
05:49:59,768 --> 05:50:00,435
safe with me.

11830
05:50:00,435 --> 05:50:02,835
We're talking about cutting

11831
05:50:05,400 --> 05:50:05,640
this new elementary 24 hour

11832
05:50:05,640 --> 05:50:06,700
safe sleeping sites for

11833
05:50:06,700 --> 05:50:08,700
families.

11834
05:50:11,413 --> 05:50:12,447
I'm losing my job.

11835
05:50:12,447 --> 05:50:16,647
>> So and here I am in this

11836
05:50:17,652 --> 05:50:18,320
loop this loop and now not only

11837
05:50:18,320 --> 05:50:18,920
that, this is what happened.

11838
05:50:18,920 --> 05:50:19,321
This is just some of

11839
05:50:19,321 --> 05:50:20,550
the tickets.

11840
05:50:20,550 --> 05:50:23,325
I'll remind people this is what

11841
05:50:23,325 --> 05:50:24,250
happened to me while I was

11842
05:50:24,250 --> 05:50:27,625
homeless the first time So now

11843
05:50:29,264 --> 05:50:29,998
I'm a target for block.

11844
05:50:29,998 --> 05:50:30,899
This puts me an algorithm.

11845
05:50:30,899 --> 05:50:34,499
I've never been in trouble with

11846
05:50:34,970 --> 05:50:35,737
the law ever.

11847
05:50:35,737 --> 05:50:36,710
>> I don't have a police

11848
05:50:36,710 --> 05:50:36,738
record.

i am tired of carrying all

11851
05:50:41,843 --> 05:50:42,543
these papers because when

11852
05:50:42,543 --> 05:50:43,245
you're in the system then you

11853
05:50:43,245 --> 05:50:46,845
have to have all these papers

11854
05:50:46,947 --> 05:50:47,616
And when you're homeless trying

11855
05:50:47,616 --> 05:50:48,483
to keep track of all these

11856
05:50:48,483 --> 05:50:52,830
papers and dates and times it's

11857
05:50:53,210 --> 05:50:53,755
exhausting And I am a willing

11858
05:50:53,755 --> 05:50:57,355
abled body sound in mind person

11859
05:50:58,993 --> 05:50:59,728
that cannot do what you're

11860
05:50:59,728 --> 05:51:00,950
asking people to do when you're

11861
05:51:00,950 --> 05:51:02,950
unhoused.

11862
05:51:05,534 --> 05:51:06,435
I can't do it.

treating sea lions in dolphins

11866
05:51:16,411 --> 05:51:17,460
.

11867
05:51:17,460 --> 05:51:17,579
I'm a college graduate.

11868
05:51:17,579 --> 05:51:19,979
I'm a smart person.

11869
05:51:22,251 --> 05:51:23,152
I contribute to my community

11870
05:51:23,152 --> 05:51:27,352
and I can't do what you ask

11871
05:51:28,790 --> 05:51:29,758
people to do that are unhoused

11872
05:51:29,758 --> 05:51:33,958
That is real and not to be

11873
05:51:34,196 --> 05:51:35,300
homeless again.

11874
05:51:35,300 --> 05:51:35,497
I was never in the system until

11875
05:51:35,497 --> 05:51:37,497
covid happened.

11876
05:51:40,200 --> 05:51:40,702
We have these governmental

11877
05:51:40,702 --> 05:51:41,370
bodies that are doing things.

11878
05:51:41,370 --> 05:51:43,770
The information's out there.

11879
05:51:45,507 --> 05:51:45,808
I'm not asking you to believe

11880
05:51:45,808 --> 05:51:46,508
me.

11881
05:51:46,508 --> 05:51:46,942
I'm asking you to do

11882
05:51:46,942 --> 05:51:48,942
the research.

11883
05:51:51,913 --> 05:51:52,414
Covid was put That's a crime

11884
05:51:52,414 --> 05:51:53,215
against humanity.

11885
05:51:53,215 --> 05:51:53,849
It's a crime against our state.

11886
05:51:53,849 --> 05:51:56,249
Then if we're vaccinating

11887
05:51:58,187 --> 05:51:58,887
people now they're sick Now we

11888
05:51:58,887 --> 05:52:01,887
have mosquitoes Now we have

11889
05:52:04,159 --> 05:52:04,760
flock and you know we have

11890
05:52:04,760 --> 05:52:05,467
carparks for the police.

11891
05:52:05,467 --> 05:52:09,670
>> Did anybody know that I was

11892
05:52:09,565 --> 05:52:10,266
just at San Diego last week?

11893
05:52:10,266 --> 05:52:10,666
Carfax is giving police

11894
05:52:10,666 --> 05:52:11,367
information.

11895
05:52:11,367 --> 05:52:15,567
So you look at your oil change

11896
05:52:16,104 --> 05:52:16,706
and you had a Carfax car.

11897
05:52:16,706 --> 05:52:17,173
Now go to the police.

11898
05:52:17,173 --> 05:52:17,907
Look it up.

11899
05:52:17,907 --> 05:52:21,507
That's one thing I'm not asking

11900
05:52:21,811 --> 05:52:22,478
you guys to believe me.

11901
05:52:22,478 --> 05:52:23,145
I'm asking you to do

11902
05:52:23,145 --> 05:52:26,745
the research And now I'm an

11903
05:52:27,516 --> 05:52:28,284
algorithm In that time being

11904
05:52:28,284 --> 05:52:28,651
housed I've created an llc, a

11905
05:52:28,651 --> 05:52:29,350
nonprofit.

11906
05:52:29,350 --> 05:52:31,750
I'm trademarking a methodology

11907
05:52:34,389 --> 05:52:35,570
for sports athletics.

11908
05:52:35,570 --> 05:52:35,924
I've launched a podcast.

11909
05:52:35,924 --> 05:52:40,124
I can't do any of those things

11910
05:52:41,463 --> 05:52:42,310
And you're hired.

11911
05:52:42,310 --> 05:52:42,531
I'm going to circle.

11912
05:52:42,531 --> 05:52:43,199
It's not hard.

11913
05:52:43,199 --> 05:52:43,799
Oh, it's housing authority.

11914
05:52:43,799 --> 05:52:44,234
Housing is all you need.

11915
05:52:44,234 --> 05:52:46,234
Contact Todd.

11916
05:52:46,302 --> 05:52:46,636

05:52:48,337 --> 05:52:50,337
concluding remark.

11921
05:52:52,800 --> 05:52:55,608
Max Schmidt I just wanted to

11922
05:52:57,380 --> 05:52:58,114
say that I do not support

11923
05:52:58,114 --> 05:53:02,314
the city of San Diego taxing us

11924
05:53:03,452 --> 05:53:04,530
at all And I want to say I love

11925
05:53:04,530 --> 05:53:04,754
the people of San Diego.

11926
05:53:04,754 --> 05:53:05,421
They are some of the nicest

11927
05:53:05,421 --> 05:53:09,621
people in the world and I do

11928
05:53:09,759 --> 05:53:10,920
not I'm opposed to all tax

11929
05:53:10,920 --> 05:53:10,826
period.

11930
05:53:10,826 --> 05:53:15,260
And I just wanted to also draw

11931
05:53:16,310 --> 05:53:16,632
attention to on what we can

11932
05:53:16,632 --> 05:53:17,266
allocate tax towards and

11933
05:53:17,266 --> 05:53:17,900
something I believe we can

11934
05:53:17,900 --> 05:53:20,900
allocate Maybe if you have

11935
05:53:22,238 --> 05:53:25,838
taxes towards is the miracle of

11936
05:53:26,108 --> 05:53:26,842
the sun and Saddam of Portugal

11937
05:53:26,842 --> 05:53:27,577
1917 and the events in Lubbock,

11938
05:53:27,577 --> 05:53:30,577
Texas and England Lubbock Texas

11939
05:53:32,382 --> 05:53:33,820
on there is a miracle in Texas

11940
05:53:33,820 --> 05:53:33,716
on the feast of the assumption

11941
05:53:33,716 --> 05:53:37,316
that was not aliens it was

11942
05:53:37,854 --> 05:53:38,554
the Blessed Virgin Mary I want

11943
05:53:38,554 --> 05:53:39,255
to say English word programing

11944
05:53:39,255 --> 05:53:44,550
If you say GOD is not dead and

11945
05:53:45,294 --> 05:53:45,995
then if you say Nevada Area 51

11946
05:53:45,995 --> 05:53:46,629
Nevada and then test your eyes

11947
05:53:46,629 --> 05:53:47,363
how you blink you can see

11948
05:53:47,363 --> 05:53:50,963
you're a victim of English word

11949
05:53:51,505 --> 05:53:52,201
programing and the Luciferian

11950
05:53:52,201 --> 05:53:52,936
are doing human sacrifices So

11951
05:53:52,936 --> 05:53:53,636
no they know GOD is not dead or

11952
05:53:53,636 --> 05:53:57,236
they want to name a programing

arbitrary events cherry picked

11958
05:54:20,363 --> 05:54:23,963
to be crime by violent bigots

11959
05:54:26,402 --> 05:54:27,690
putting people in cages.

11960
05:54:27,690 --> 05:54:27,804
You define these people as

11961
05:54:27,804 --> 05:54:31,404
criminals I devise to find them

11962
05:54:31,908 --> 05:54:32,509
And survivors surviving toxic

11963
05:54:32,509 --> 05:54:33,143
actions toxic actions to

11964
05:54:33,143 --> 05:54:35,143
survive accommodate toxic

11965

societal structure.

11966
05:54:38,448 --> 05:54:39,820
You speak on California's

11967
05:54:39,820 --> 05:54:41,820
ongoing economic struggle.

11968
05:54:44,420 --> 05:54:45,121
Government snuffed business out

11969
05:54:45,121 --> 05:54:48,721
like a legal horror film using

11970
05:54:50,694 --> 05:54:51,394
legal structure that is cruel

11971
05:54:51,394 --> 05:54:52,620
and unusual parody opening and

mobility so you can stay home

11975
05:54:58,435 --> 05:55:02,350
Meaning like this is a human

11976
05:55:02,671 --> 05:55:03,540
fundamental need.

11977
05:55:03,540 --> 05:55:07,140
There is no reason for any

11978

adult of any ability They

11979
05:55:09,980 --> 05:55:10,513
should be able to be here to

11980
05:55:10,513 --> 05:55:11,147
sustain their needs.

11981
05:55:11,147 --> 05:55:11,514
>> We need to support our

11982
05:55:11,514 --> 05:55:13,216
citizens.

11983
05:55:13,216 --> 05:55:13,517
Thank you for that computer

11984
05:55:13,517 --> 05:55:15,517
work.

11985

>> Vanessa is Good afternoon.

11986
05:55:26,396 --> 05:55:27,130
My name is Vanessa Mildred and

11987
05:55:27,130 --> 05:55:27,764
I represent the Filipino Worker

11988
05:55:27,764 --> 05:55:31,268
Center and I'm a member of

11989
05:55:31,268 --> 05:55:31,802
the Community Budget Alliance

11990
05:55:31,802 --> 05:55:32,436
of San Diego.

11991
05:55:32,436 --> 05:55:33,469
My phone is at 4%.

11992
05:55:33,469 --> 05:55:37,669
I'll try to make this that many

11993
05:55:38,800 --> 05:55:38,675
communities have a deep

11994
05:55:38,675 --> 05:55:39,376
distrust of surveillance and

11995
05:55:39,376 --> 05:55:42,376
overpolicing because of a long

11996
05:55:44,214 --> 05:55:44,982
history of racial profiling.

11997
05:55:44,982 --> 05:55:48,485
The data tells a clear story.

11998
05:55:48,485 --> 05:55:49,860
According to the aclu, nearly

11999
05:55:49,860 --> 05:55:49,752
30% of black men report

12000
05:55:49,752 --> 05:55:51,752
experiencing police violence

12001
05:55:53,757 --> 05:55:54,458
just in 2025 after 911, 30,000

12002
05:55:54,458 --> 05:55:56,858
foreign nationals were placed

12003
05:55:59,797 --> 05:56:00,530
into deportation proceedings as

12004
05:56:00,530 --> 05:56:00,898
a part of the us federal

12005
05:56:00,898 --> 05:56:01,532
response.

12006
05:56:01,532 --> 05:56:01,899
Yet none were charged with

12007
05:56:01,899 --> 05:56:03,899
terrorism.

12008
05:56:05,436 --> 05:56:06,690
Do these examples show that

12009
05:56:06,690 --> 05:56:06,603
expanding surveillance and

12010
05:56:06,603 --> 05:56:08,603
enforcement does not

12011
05:56:11,800 --> 05:56:11,642
automatically create more

12012
05:56:11,642 --> 05:56:12,276
safety or reduce crime but

12013
05:56:12,276 --> 05:56:14,676
greater harm to minority

12014
05:56:17,814 --> 05:56:18,582
communities?

the Floc surveillance contract

12017

Instead invest those public

12018
05:56:23,454 --> 05:56:24,540
dollars in the services that

12019
05:56:24,540 --> 05:56:24,455
actually strengthen our

full of generations of military

12041

men and women who have put

12042

05:57:28,886 --> 05:57:31,286
being so comfortable crapping

12049
05:57:32,556 --> 05:57:33,224
all over the Fourth Amendment

12050
05:57:33,224 --> 05:57:33,658
Rights of our families have

12051
05:57:33,658 --> 05:57:35,126
bled and died.

12052
05:57:35,126 --> 05:57:39,326
The begging with the press of a

12053
05:57:41,532 --> 05:57:44,532
button This is one of

12054
05:57:47,470 --> 05:57:48,272
the safest cities in the nation

12055
05:57:48,272 --> 05:57:49,390
and we have a huge budget

12056
05:57:49,390 --> 05:57:52,390
deficit continuing to fund lpr

12057
05:57:53,744 --> 05:57:54,445
with not only an unreasonable

12058
05:57:54,445 --> 05:57:55,790
seizure of our data it is also

12059
05:57:55,790 --> 05:57:57,790
fiscally irresponsible and

12060
05:57:59,283 --> 05:58:00,510
empirically unwarranted.

12061
05:58:00,510 --> 05:58:03,651
Your own data screams that I

12062
05:58:05,623 --> 05:58:06,424
personally have a hacktivist

12063
05:58:06,424 --> 05:58:10,240
who is able to get into

12064
05:58:12,530 --> 05:58:13,331
the camera system.

12065
05:58:13,331 --> 05:58:13,664
>> Luckily they had altruistic

12066
05:58:13,664 --> 05:58:14,365
intent.

12067
05:58:14,365 --> 05:58:17,365
Their time has concluded it's

12068
05:58:18,635 --> 05:58:19,170
going to enable criminals to

12069
05:58:19,170 --> 05:58:19,536
commit more crimes.

12070
05:58:19,536 --> 05:58:20,138
Thank you.

12071
05:58:20,138 --> 05:58:20,771
You can definitely email

12072
05:58:20,771 --> 05:58:21,471
comments and a city caucus

12073
05:58:21,471 --> 05:58:22,940
continue your doctor and those

12074
05:58:22,940 --> 05:58:23,608
will be distributed.

12075
05:58:23,608 --> 05:58:23,941
>> And you were Amanda,

12076
05:58:23,941 --> 05:58:25,941
correct.

12077
05:58:35,860 --> 05:58:35,486
So Gwendolyn Garcia I.

12078
05:58:35,486 --> 05:58:36,220
I'm Gwen.

12079
05:58:36,220 --> 05:58:36,888
I'm a resident of District nine

12080
05:58:36,888 --> 05:58:37,555
and a volunteer with the San

12081
05:58:37,555 --> 05:58:39,955
Diego River Park Foundation.

12082
05:58:40,458 --> 05:58:40,892
I'm also here with

12083
05:58:40,892 --> 05:58:41,626
the forecast.

12084
05:58:41,626 --> 05:58:42,360
First the San Diego cameras and

12085
05:58:42,360 --> 05:58:45,360
police don't keep our community

12086
05:58:47,650 --> 05:58:47,831
safe.

12087
05:58:47,831 --> 05:58:48,566
We've known this for decades

12088
05:58:48,566 --> 05:58:51,736
and we were reminded last month

12089
05:58:51,736 --> 05:58:52,403
when sd pd and their lp failed

12090
05:58:52,403 --> 05:58:53,137
to prevent the anti-Muslim

12091
05:58:53,137 --> 05:58:53,671
terrorist attack at the Islamic

12092
05:58:53,671 --> 05:58:56,710
Center of San Diego.

12093
05:58:58,343 --> 05:58:58,743
They had their chance and they

12094
05:58:58,743 --> 05:58:59,410
failed.

12095
05:58:59,410 --> 05:59:00,144
Investment in community and

12096
05:59:00,144 --> 05:59:00,445
infrastructure are what keep us

12097
05:59:00,445 --> 05:59:02,445
safe.

12098
05:59:03,615 --> 05:59:04,315
I live in District nine and I

12099
05:59:04,315 --> 05:59:05,490
want to connect the community.

12100
05:59:05,490 --> 05:59:05,650
Which is why I strongly support

12101
05:59:05,650 --> 05:59:08,453
the San Diego River Park

12102
05:59:08,453 --> 05:59:09,153
Foundation's request to use

12103
05:59:09,153 --> 05:59:09,888
developer impact fees to fund

12104
05:59:09,888 --> 05:59:10,555
the West Valley River crossing.

12105
05:59:10,555 --> 05:59:12,955
Completing the segment Lake

12106
05:59:14,159 --> 05:59:14,860
City Council District two,

12107
05:59:14,860 --> 05:59:15,460
three, seven and nine It gives

12108
05:59:15,460 --> 05:59:18,460
us a safe, beautiful non

12109
05:59:19,998 --> 05:59:20,732
vehicular route to the beach or

12110
05:59:20,732 --> 05:59:21,231
employment centers, transit and

12111
05:59:21,231 --> 05:59:21,932
local businesses.

12112
05:59:21,932 --> 05:59:24,932
Residents want to swap driving

12113
05:59:25,336 --> 05:59:26,137
for carbon free multi-modal

12114
05:59:26,137 --> 05:59:26,870
commute but do not feel safe or

12115
05:59:26,870 --> 05:59:30,470
like this is a realistic option

12116
05:59:31,643 --> 05:59:32,410
until this link is established.

12117
05:59:32,410 --> 05:59:33,144
Please help connect us and make

12118
05:59:33,144 --> 05:59:33,578
sustainable travel a reality in

12119
05:59:33,578 --> 05:59:33,945
our community.

12120
05:59:33,945 --> 05:59:35,945
Thank you.

12121
05:59:37,215 --> 05:59:39,215
Thank you, Gabriel.

12122

>> Our Ravenna.

12123
05:59:43,488 --> 05:59:44,890
>> Hello.

12124
05:59:44,890 --> 05:59:45,230
My name is Gabriella.

12125
05:59:45,230 --> 05:59:48,623
I'm a union member of Teamsters

12126
05:59:48,893 --> 05:59:49,360
for 81 and constituent of

12127
05:59:49,360 --> 05:59:49,761
District three.

12128
05:59:49,761 --> 05:59:51,761
Hi, Steven.

12129
05:59:54,666 --> 05:59:55,167
Not good enough.

12130
05:59:55,167 --> 05:59:55,800
Not good enough.

12131
05:59:55,800 --> 05:59:56,468
Even how many of your

12132
05:59:56,468 --> 05:59:58,468
constituents including those

12133
06:00:01,380 --> 06:00:01,773
from lgbt community that you

12134
06:00:01,773 --> 06:00:02,400
use of progressive performative

12135
06:00:02,400 --> 06:00:04,400
MS..

12136
06:00:06,845 --> 06:00:07,512
Do you need to hear tell you

12137
06:00:07,512 --> 06:00:11,112
that they do not want floc

12138
06:00:12,516 --> 06:00:13,285
technology for you to listen?

12139
06:00:13,285 --> 06:00:14,520
Please we are begging you to

12140
06:00:14,520 --> 06:00:17,520
oppose cancel eliminate block a

12141
06:00:18,123 --> 06:00:18,790
lpr technology.

12142
06:00:18,790 --> 06:00:19,558
It's creepy and it's super

12143
06:00:19,558 --> 06:00:23,610
weird and we do not want it

12144
06:00:23,610 --> 06:00:23,728
because it's usually being used

12145
06:00:23,728 --> 06:00:24,162
as collective data for mass

12146
06:00:24,162 --> 06:00:24,830
surveillance.

12147
06:00:24,830 --> 06:00:27,830
It's also pushing racism and

12148
06:00:29,000 --> 06:00:29,601
ice agents and allowing them to

12149
06:00:29,601 --> 06:00:29,968
kidnap and terrorize our

12150
06:00:29,968 --> 06:00:30,536
community.

12151
06:00:30,536 --> 06:00:32,936
Stop performing and be

12152
06:00:34,706 --> 06:00:35,339
progressive for real.

12153
06:00:35,339 --> 06:00:36,410
Our problems, problems and

12154
06:00:36,410 --> 06:00:39,410
deficits are due to corruption

12155
06:00:40,412 --> 06:00:41,213
within our government Utilities

12156
06:00:41,213 --> 06:00:41,646
,food system and every aspect

12157
06:00:41,646 --> 06:00:42,381
of our lives.

12158
06:00:42,381 --> 06:00:45,981
We need to immediately stop a

12159
06:00:47,551 --> 06:00:48,253
lot of council members from

12160
06:00:48,253 --> 06:00:48,954
using Thank you for that.

12161
06:00:48,954 --> 06:00:49,655
Something like voting or more.

12162
06:00:49,655 --> 06:00:50,288
We don't have a budget problem

12163
06:00:50,288 --> 06:00:50,956
like have black rocketing

12164
06:00:50,956 --> 06:00:55,156
remark I do have to be fair

12165
06:00:56,610 --> 06:00:56,828
allegedly Audra.

12166
06:00:56,828 --> 06:00:59,828
>> After that will be Lily

12167
06:01:01,333 --> 06:01:02,330
Irani, Marco Espinosa Kimberly

12168
06:01:02,330 --> 06:01:02,633
Moreland Those are our final

12169
06:01:02,633 --> 06:01:05,330
speakers here in council

12170
06:01:06,238 --> 06:01:06,906
chambers trading children and

12171
06:01:06,906 --> 06:01:07,605
youth success for a digital

12172
06:01:07,605 --> 06:01:08,240
prison is extremely negligent

12173
06:01:08,240 --> 06:01:11,840
and people need to take a

12174
06:01:12,611 --> 06:01:13,311
broader step back and see that

12175
06:01:13,311 --> 06:01:13,946
this hpr this is going into

12176
06:01:13,946 --> 06:01:15,946
residential neighborhoods.

12177
06:01:18,349 --> 06:01:19,318
People are getting contracts

12178
06:01:19,318 --> 06:01:20,180
with it And the fact is is when

12179
06:01:20,180 --> 06:01:20,719
it's put together with ai and

12180
06:01:20,719 --> 06:01:23,719
things like Palantir in these

12181
06:01:24,523 --> 06:01:25,190
fusion centers and the fact

12182
06:01:25,190 --> 06:01:25,891
that they can have piggyback

12183
06:01:25,891 --> 06:01:29,491
access, they have you know an

12184
06:01:30,829 --> 06:01:31,497
enterprise contracts with these

12185
06:01:31,497 --> 06:01:32,640
fusion centers that advanced

12186
06:01:32,640 --> 06:01:34,464
tech that use advanced

12187
06:01:35,701 --> 06:01:36,335
technology that's insulated

12188
06:01:36,335 --> 06:01:37,350
from legal legislative

12189
06:01:37,350 --> 06:01:40,350
processes that would allow us

12190
06:01:41,774 --> 06:01:42,473
to get rid of it And San Diego

12191
06:01:42,473 --> 06:01:43,208
Police Department is one that

12192
06:01:43,208 --> 06:01:46,208
is feeding into these analytics

12193
06:01:47,780 --> 06:01:48,479
and you know, once it's at

12194
06:01:48,479 --> 06:01:49,214
the fusion center it goes out.

12195
06:01:49,214 --> 06:01:53,414
So it's like no matter what you

12196
06:01:53,452 --> 06:01:54,530
guys do this digital prison is

12197
06:01:54,530 --> 06:01:54,453
here, It's going to be

12198
06:01:54,453 --> 06:01:55,187
weaponized.

12199
06:01:55,187 --> 06:01:56,540
We can see that All you have to

12200
06:01:56,540 --> 06:01:58,991
do is look at China but it's

12201
06:01:58,991 --> 06:01:59,658
like you guys are going to

12202
06:01:59,658 --> 06:02:00,326
bring it in in some other

12203
06:02:00,326 --> 06:02:03,326
fashion whether or not it's

12204
06:02:04,496 --> 06:02:05,231
walk or not And we need to be

12205
06:02:05,231 --> 06:02:05,864
very concerned because it's all

12206
06:02:05,864 --> 06:02:06,298
of us, not just immigrant.

12207
06:02:06,298 --> 06:02:08,298
>> Thank you.

12208
06:02:10,669 --> 06:02:11,470
Lily Irani Hi, my name is Lily

12209
06:02:11,470 --> 06:02:15,700
Iranian, a resident of d-3 and

12210
06:02:15,607 --> 06:02:16,576
a member of dsa.

12211
06:02:16,576 --> 06:02:17,243
So Hi Stephen and I am also a

12212
06:02:17,243 --> 06:02:20,843
member of the uc San Diego

12213
06:02:21,580 --> 06:02:22,281
Faculty Association so Hi Joe.

12214
06:02:22,281 --> 06:02:22,982
People have made very powerful

12215
06:02:22,982 --> 06:02:25,982
points about how every dollar

12216
06:02:26,752 --> 06:02:27,453
we spend on flag total 2

12217
06:02:27,453 --> 06:02:28,220
million a year should be spent

12218
06:02:28,220 --> 06:02:31,423
on local jobs in arts parks and

12219
06:02:31,423 --> 06:02:32,910
rec child and youth services

12220
06:02:32,910 --> 06:02:32,792
and transportation planning.

12221
06:02:32,792 --> 06:02:36,992
So I want to share some facts

12222
06:02:37,129 --> 06:02:37,463
that maybe haven't been shared

12223
06:02:37,463 --> 06:02:38,164
before.

12224
06:02:38,164 --> 06:02:41,133
In Milwaukee, a police officer

12225
06:02:41,133 --> 06:02:41,834
search for his partner and her

12226
06:02:41,834 --> 06:02:42,434
ex-boyfriend over 170 times on

12227
06:02:42,434 --> 06:02:45,434
a flag system in Kansas.

12228
06:02:47,206 --> 06:02:47,740
The police chief searched for

12229
06:02:47,740 --> 06:02:48,741
his ex 280 times.

12230
06:02:48,741 --> 06:02:52,770
So Fox talking at a click of

12231
06:02:52,770 --> 06:02:52,812
the mouse.

12232
06:02:52,812 --> 06:02:53,245
And these are stories from

12233
06:02:53,245 --> 06:02:53,980
other cities.

12234
06:02:53,980 --> 06:02:56,916
But now we learn from the times

12235
06:02:56,916 --> 06:02:57,549
of San Diego that five months

12236
06:02:57,549 --> 06:02:58,383
ago Hugo Parra was wrongly

12237
06:02:58,383 --> 06:03:01,983
jailed for a month for missing

12238
06:03:02,455 --> 06:03:03,122
the holidays with his family

12239
06:03:03,122 --> 06:03:03,889
based on flawed flight data.

12240
06:03:03,889 --> 06:03:07,489
And we only know this because

12241
06:03:07,693 --> 06:03:08,361
of dogged reporting so we can

12242
06:03:08,361 --> 06:03:09,610
only imagine how many other

12243
06:03:09,610 --> 06:03:12,610
stories like this are already

12244
06:03:13,320 --> 06:03:13,800
happening in San Diego.

12245
06:03:13,800 --> 06:03:14,467
>> But the fog makes us less

12246
06:03:14,467 --> 06:03:14,767
safe and jobs keep the money

12247
06:03:14,767 --> 06:03:16,767
local.

12248
06:03:18,471 --> 06:03:20,471
Marco Espinoza.

12249
06:03:24,944 --> 06:03:25,711
Afternoon.

12250
06:03:25,711 --> 06:03:29,582
My question is to the in terms

12251
06:03:29,582 --> 06:03:30,349
of the what I hear about Flock

12252
06:03:30,349 --> 06:03:34,454
today and of all the times I've

12253
06:03:34,454 --> 06:03:35,880
come to these public meetings

12254
06:03:35,880 --> 06:03:38,880
I'm pretty sure I've heard

12255
06:03:39,726 --> 06:03:40,426
the are use of flock is extreme

12256
06:03:40,426 --> 06:03:43,426
only limited and it's very

12257
06:03:44,964 --> 06:03:45,732
narrow and but there's a lot of

12258
06:03:45,732 --> 06:03:48,132
confusion and animosity towards

12259
06:03:50,570 --> 06:03:51,137
the parent company and how it's

12260
06:03:51,137 --> 06:03:51,804
used in other cities.

12261
06:03:51,804 --> 06:03:54,804
I could be wrong in

12262
06:03:55,875 --> 06:03:56,476
interpreting number incorrectly

12263
06:03:56,476 --> 06:03:58,876
here which I've done.

12264
06:03:59,946 --> 06:04:00,380
But anyway I just wanted to get

12265
06:04:00,380 --> 06:04:01,180
that one off.

12266
06:04:01,180 --> 06:04:05,380
Not that I'm trying to give any

12267
06:04:05,484 --> 06:04:06,286
cover but if there is confusion

12268
06:04:06,286 --> 06:04:06,986
out there that could be it

12269
06:04:06,986 --> 06:04:07,654
people just aren't aware of Oh

12270
06:04:07,654 --> 06:04:10,790
shoot I used up all my time.

12271
06:04:10,790 --> 06:04:11,557
I'm so sorry I'm such a dork.

12272
06:04:11,557 --> 06:04:13,957
Anyways, uh, the retirement

12273
06:04:15,995 --> 06:04:16,763
program um.

12274
06:04:16,763 --> 06:04:17,463
I don't want anyone in

12275
06:04:17,463 --> 06:04:20,463
the future running for office

12276
06:04:22,168 --> 06:04:22,669
to be using that as excuses And

12277
06:04:22,669 --> 06:04:24,669
I'll be watching.

12278
06:04:27,173 --> 06:04:27,507
>> And then Kimberly Mullen No

12279
06:04:27,507 --> 06:04:28,140
.

12280
06:04:28,140 --> 06:04:28,875
Kimberly Mullen That does

12281
06:04:28,875 --> 06:04:29,542
conclude public comment here in

12282
06:04:29,542 --> 06:04:32,542
council chambers We are now

12283
06:04:32,712 --> 06:04:33,413
going to those participating

12284
06:04:33,413 --> 06:04:34,115
remotely I'm sorry at the five

12285
06:04:34,115 --> 06:04:37,484
minute timer it is one minute

12286
06:04:37,484 --> 06:04:38,218
apiece as it was in person We

12287
06:04:38,218 --> 06:04:38,917
have 27 people with their hands

12288
06:04:38,917 --> 06:04:39,586
raised starting with Josephine

12289
06:04:39,586 --> 06:04:42,656
vote if you can please raise

12290
06:04:42,656 --> 06:04:43,223
please unmute yourself.

12291
06:04:43,223 --> 06:04:43,690
Hi I'm here.

12292
06:04:43,690 --> 06:04:45,690
Please proceed.

12293
06:04:47,861 --> 06:04:48,728
Okay.

12294
06:04:48,728 --> 06:04:49,280
Once again let me pull it up.

12295
06:04:49,280 --> 06:04:49,296
Okay.

12296
06:04:49,296 --> 06:04:50,162
Hi.

12297
06:04:50,162 --> 06:04:52,366
I want to echo the comments of

12298
06:04:52,366 --> 06:04:53,660
other community members.

12299
06:04:53,660 --> 06:04:53,733
We cannot strengthen an

12300
06:04:53,733 --> 06:04:54,401
unaccountable state security

12301
06:04:54,401 --> 06:04:57,401
apparatus at the expense of

12302
06:04:58,305 --> 06:04:58,837
real long standing safety and

12303
06:04:58,837 --> 06:04:59,239
real opportunity for

12304
06:04:59,239 --> 06:04:59,839
the people.

12305
06:04:59,839 --> 06:05:03,439
I also want to speak to

12306
06:05:03,944 --> 06:05:04,511
longtime property owners and

12307
06:05:04,511 --> 06:05:04,945
more wealthy San Diego

12308
06:05:04,945 --> 06:05:05,646
neighborhoods.

12309
06:05:05,646 --> 06:05:09,349
You guys are the ones who are

12310
06:05:09,349 --> 06:05:10,160
robbing our city and a large

12311
06:05:10,160 --> 06:05:10,717
part of the reason for this

12312
06:05:10,717 --> 06:05:13,820
deficit every time you vote to

12313
06:05:13,820 --> 06:05:14,621
preserve your low property

12314
06:05:14,621 --> 06:05:14,987
taxes and you steal from your

12315
06:05:14,987 --> 06:05:16,987
neighbors.

12316
06:05:18,425 --> 06:05:19,126
Traditionally before Prop 13,

12317
06:05:19,126 --> 06:05:19,759
property taxes were how cities

12318
06:05:19,759 --> 06:05:20,393
and counties in California

12319
06:05:20,393 --> 06:05:22,793
funded their services and

12320
06:05:23,964 --> 06:05:24,668
infrastructure And this it's

12321
06:05:24,668 --> 06:05:24,998
still the case for most other

12322
06:05:24,998 --> 06:05:26,998
states.

12323
06:05:28,635 --> 06:05:29,336
Every time we've tried to raise

12324
06:05:29,336 --> 06:05:30,300
the cap on increasing property

12325
06:05:30,300 --> 06:05:30,403
taxes, homeowners have voted

12326
06:05:30,403 --> 06:05:31,103
against it.

12327
06:05:31,103 --> 06:05:34,407
Shame on you for stealing from

12328
06:05:34,407 --> 06:05:35,750
your neighbors and for those

12329
06:05:35,750 --> 06:05:35,442
who know about it But don't

12330
06:05:35,442 --> 06:05:36,143
speak up.

12331
06:05:36,143 --> 06:05:39,112
I'm home owning neighbors When

12332
06:05:39,112 --> 06:05:39,679
you pay your to your property

12333
06:05:39,679 --> 06:05:40,414
taxes year after year.

12334
06:05:40,414 --> 06:05:41,810
And now here today when you try

12335
06:05:41,810 --> 06:05:44,810
to take money from services

12336
06:05:45,510 --> 06:05:45,719
that we need and make to make

12337
06:05:45,719 --> 06:05:46,420
the city charge for parking

12338
06:05:46,420 --> 06:05:49,560
make the police need to issue

12339
06:05:49,560 --> 06:05:49,790
parking tickets to fund their

12340
06:05:49,790 --> 06:05:50,356
departments instead of actually

12341
06:05:50,356 --> 06:05:52,756
help keeping us safe.

12342
06:05:54,695 --> 06:05:55,261
You vote to surveil us because

12343
06:05:55,261 --> 06:05:55,929
of your own paranoia.

12344
06:05:55,929 --> 06:05:56,630
Make no mistake that you're

12345
06:05:56,630 --> 06:05:59,630
stealing from us from your

12346
06:05:59,866 --> 06:06:00,500
precious police force and

12347
06:06:00,500 --> 06:06:01,134
forcing the zero sum game.

12348
06:06:01,134 --> 06:06:01,435
We can't keep playing this

12349
06:06:01,435 --> 06:06:03,435
game.

12350
06:06:04,238 --> 06:06:05,138
We need real revenue sources

12351
06:06:05,138 --> 06:06:05,505
And that's an even if we had

12352
06:06:05,505 --> 06:06:07,505
the money.

12353
06:06:11,278 --> 06:06:11,712
We cannot strengthen an

12354
06:06:11,712 --> 06:06:12,379
unaccountable.

12355
06:06:12,379 --> 06:06:13,800
Sorry your time did run out

12356
06:06:13,800 --> 06:06:16,800
with my apologies Jason Maybe

12357
06:06:17,150 --> 06:06:18,180
if you can please unmute.

12358
06:06:18,180 --> 06:06:18,686
>> Hi my name is Jason.

12359
06:06:18,686 --> 06:06:19,386
I urge you to keep

12360
06:06:19,386 --> 06:06:21,786
the multimodal traffic safety

12361
06:06:22,623 --> 06:06:23,390
team funded at least partially

12362
06:06:23,390 --> 06:06:27,261
since we have no net impact on

12363
06:06:27,261 --> 06:06:27,961
the general fund because

12364
06:06:27,961 --> 06:06:28,462
the Transportation Department

12365
06:06:28,462 --> 06:06:29,196
is already funded.

12366
06:06:29,196 --> 06:06:32,196
This is about priorities within

12367
06:06:32,533 --> 06:06:33,300
transportation.

12368
06:06:33,300 --> 06:06:33,967
In SEPTEMBER of 2024 this

12369
06:06:33,967 --> 06:06:36,367
Council unanimously passed a

12370
06:06:37,938 --> 06:06:38,539
resolution to affirm safety as

12371
06:06:38,539 --> 06:06:38,906
transportation's highest

12372
06:06:38,906 --> 06:06:40,906
priority.

12373
06:06:42,810 --> 06:06:43,476
The traffic safety team is only

12374
06:06:43,476 --> 06:06:43,811
2% of the transportation

12375
06:06:43,811 --> 06:06:44,511
budget.

12376
06:06:44,511 --> 06:06:47,714
If safety truly is the highest

12377
06:06:47,714 --> 06:06:48,215
priority we can certainly

12378
06:06:48,215 --> 06:06:48,949
dedicate 2% of

12379
06:06:48,949 --> 06:06:51,949
the transportation budget to it

12380
06:06:52,419 --> 06:06:52,920
even if that means 4% fewer

12381
06:06:52,920 --> 06:06:54,920
potholes to fill.

12382
06:06:56,223 --> 06:06:56,956
Just this Saturday a 62 year

12383
06:06:56,956 --> 06:06:57,625
old woman was killed crossing a

12384
06:06:57,625 --> 06:07:00,250
section of Elkhorn Boulevard

12385
06:07:00,527 --> 06:07:01,940
where there's no crosswalk for

12386
06:07:01,940 --> 06:07:01,862
a quarter of a mile.

12387
06:07:01,862 --> 06:07:04,862
That section is scheduled for

12388
06:07:05,565 --> 06:07:06,232
resurfacing later this year.

12389
06:07:06,232 --> 06:07:06,901
This is exactly the type of

12390
06:07:06,901 --> 06:07:08,901
dangerous street conditions

12391
06:07:10,704 --> 06:07:11,405
that multimodal traffic safety

12392
06:07:11,405 --> 06:07:12,500
team is critical for fixing.

12393
06:07:12,500 --> 06:07:12,372
>> So please fund them.

12394
06:07:12,372 --> 06:07:12,740
Thank you.

12395
06:07:12,740 --> 06:07:14,740
Thank you.

12396
06:07:16,430 --> 06:07:16,710
Next is Barbara Gordon If you

12397
06:07:16,710 --> 06:07:19,110
can please unmute Barbara

12398
06:07:20,781 --> 06:07:21,448
Gordon.

12399
06:07:21,448 --> 06:07:22,490
>> City's number one

12400
06:07:22,490 --> 06:07:22,383
responsibility is public

12401
06:07:22,383 --> 06:07:24,383
safety.

12402
06:07:25,686 --> 06:07:26,287
I urge you to not cancel

12403
06:07:26,287 --> 06:07:26,887
the police department's

12404
06:07:26,887 --> 06:07:28,887
automated license plate

12405
06:07:30,391 --> 06:07:31,910
recognition program.

12406
06:07:31,910 --> 06:07:31,859
This technology has proven to

12407
06:07:31,859 --> 06:07:35,459
be one of the department's most

12408
06:07:35,996 --> 06:07:36,597
effective crime fighting tools

12409
06:07:36,597 --> 06:07:37,231
helping officers quickly

12410
06:07:37,231 --> 06:07:39,231
identify stolen vehicles,

12411
06:07:40,601 --> 06:07:41,235
locate suspects and solve

12412
06:07:41,235 --> 06:07:43,635
serious crimes that might

12413
06:07:45,339 --> 06:07:46,107
otherwise remain unsolved.

12414
06:07:46,107 --> 06:07:46,741
At a time when public safety

12415
06:07:46,741 --> 06:07:49,741
remains a top concern for

12416
06:07:50,677 --> 06:07:51,379
residents, it would be

12417
06:07:51,379 --> 06:07:52,460
counterproductive to weaken a

12418
06:07:52,460 --> 06:07:54,446
technology that provides law

12419
06:07:55,216 --> 06:07:55,850
enforcement with timely

12420
06:07:55,850 --> 06:07:56,250
objectives and actionable

12421
06:07:56,250 --> 06:07:58,250
information.

12422
06:08:00,354 --> 06:08:01,550
I urge you this Council to

12423
06:08:01,550 --> 06:08:03,455
prioritize community safety by

12424
06:08:05,660 --> 06:08:06,260
maintaining support for the a l

12425
06:08:06,260 --> 06:08:08,660
p r program preserving

12426
06:08:10,898 --> 06:08:11,599
the tools that help keep San

12427
06:08:11,599 --> 06:08:13,999
Diego residents and businesses

12428
06:08:16,300 --> 06:08:16,504
and neighborhoods safe.

12429
06:08:16,504 --> 06:08:16,871
Thank you.

12430
06:08:16,871 --> 06:08:18,473
Thank you.

12431
06:08:18,473 --> 06:08:21,473
Next is Kate Kate burnett

12433

>> I'll thank you all again for

12434
06:08:25,747 --> 06:08:26,614
the opportunity.

12435
06:08:26,614 --> 06:08:28,816
My name is Keeper and I am

12436

12437
06:08:29,550 --> 06:08:33,150
and Culture community and in my

12438
06:08:33,554 --> 06:08:33,855
role at the San Diego Museum of

12439

Art.

12440
06:08:34,488 --> 06:08:35,189
Again, we so appreciate

12441
06:08:35,189 --> 06:08:38,692
the eBay and the City Council

12442
06:08:38,692 --> 06:08:41,920
for finding really creative

12443
06:08:43,831 --> 06:08:44,499
ways to leverage public private

12444
06:08:44,499 --> 06:08:45,199
partnerships to ensure that

12445
06:08:45,199 --> 06:08:48,199
the arts and culture industry

12446
06:08:49,170 --> 06:08:49,804
in the city maintains its sort

12447
06:08:49,804 --> 06:08:50,371
of excellence even in this

12448
06:08:50,371 --> 06:08:52,371
difficult budget year.

12449
06:08:54,800 --> 06:08:54,642
Echoing my ask from Friday

12450
06:08:54,642 --> 06:08:57,420
regardless of whether you

12451
06:08:59,347 --> 06:09:00,140
managed to restore fully

12452
06:09:00,140 --> 06:09:02,414
the nearly $12 million grant

12453
06:09:03,151 --> 06:09:03,851
funding, we hold it at 6

12454
06:09:03,851 --> 06:09:04,252
million or we get it somewhere

12455
06:09:04,252 --> 06:09:06,252
in between.

12456
06:09:07,688 --> 06:09:08,389
We are asking you to maintain

12457
06:09:08,389 --> 06:09:08,756
the existing grant allocation

12458
06:09:08,756 --> 06:09:10,756
structure.

12459
06:09:13,494 --> 06:09:16,494
We are incredibly aware of

12460
06:09:17,566 --> 06:09:18,233
equity concerns and the need to

12461
06:09:18,233 --> 06:09:18,933
mitigate impacts as much as

12462
06:09:18,933 --> 06:09:21,933
possible and we will continue

12463
06:09:22,604 --> 06:09:23,700
to do so in long term

12464
06:09:23,700 --> 06:09:23,806
conversations.

12465
06:09:23,806 --> 06:09:27,406
But we're hoping for this year

12466
06:09:27,576 --> 06:09:28,309
to keep the funding the same.

12467
06:09:28,309 --> 06:09:29,100

12486
06:09:51,666 --> 06:09:52,300
I want to quickly thank

12487
06:09:52,300 --> 06:09:53,100
Councilmember Whitburn for

12488
06:09:53,100 --> 06:09:56,601

12494

I want to thank the four

12495
06:10:08,250 --> 06:10:08,984
council members who have

12496
06:10:08,984 --> 06:10:12,584
proposed a start to that effort

12497
06:10:12,620 --> 06:10:13,354
and I urge you Council member

12498
06:10:13,354 --> 06:10:13,655
Whitburn and the others to join

12499
06:10:13,655 --> 06:10:15,655
them.

12500
06:10:17,659 --> 06:10:21,259
Members of the broader lgbt two

12502
06:10:22,798 --> 06:10:23,431
of your diverse district are

12503
06:10:23,431 --> 06:10:26,431
harmed more than helped by

12504
06:10:27,350 --> 06:10:27,336
police surveillance technology

12505
06:10:27,336 --> 06:10:28,360
.

12506
06:10:28,360 --> 06:10:31,360
It's easy for older white

12507
06:10:32,474 --> 06:10:33,175
people like me to if we don't

12508
06:10:33,175 --> 06:10:33,875
look outside our own bubble to

12509
06:10:33,875 --> 06:10:36,875
believe the story that please

12510
06:10:37,646 --> 06:10:38,380
keep us safe and technology

12511
06:10:38,380 --> 06:10:41,380
prevents crime and those things

12512
06:10:42,840 --> 06:10:42,884
are not true if we just look

12513
06:10:42,884 --> 06:10:43,518
outside our bubble or listen to

12514
06:10:43,518 --> 06:10:43,886
people here your time has

12515
06:10:43,886 --> 06:10:45,886
concluded.

12516

District two.

12525
06:10:56,597 --> 06:11:00,197
We urge the restoration of cuts

12526
06:11:00,769 --> 06:11:01,436
to recreation centers libraries

12527
06:11:01,436 --> 06:11:02,337
and arts and culture in

12528
06:11:02,337 --> 06:11:05,640
District two and city wide for

12529
06:11:05,640 --> 06:11:06,174
which four of you supported new

12530
06:11:06,174 --> 06:11:06,575
budget minimum rent

12531
06:11:06,575 --> 06:11:08,575
memorandums.

12532
06:11:10,110 --> 06:11:10,712
You should fund this by further

12533
06:11:10,712 --> 06:11:11,246
cuts to bloated city staffing,

12534
06:11:11,246 --> 06:11:13,246
wages and benefits.

12535
06:11:14,716 --> 06:11:15,383
We also urge cutting car

12536
06:11:15,383 --> 06:11:17,783
allowances, cell phones and

12537
06:11:19,353 --> 06:11:20,122
travel for city staff.

12538
06:11:20,122 --> 06:11:20,822
We reject any tax and fee

12539
06:11:20,822 --> 06:11:23,222
increase is an already

12540
06:11:24,226 --> 06:11:24,827
overburdened residence as

12541
06:11:24,827 --> 06:11:27,827
advocated by the ipa and

12542
06:11:29,231 --> 06:11:29,932
COUNCILMAN Rivera as evidenced

12543
06:11:29,932 --> 06:11:30,599
by the rejection of Measure

12544
06:11:30,599 --> 06:11:33,599
eight last week by Taxpayers

12545
06:11:34,303 --> 06:11:34,803

12547
06:11:35,571 --> 06:11:38,774
At least ten made more than a

12548
06:11:38,774 --> 06:11:39,441
us senator so wages and

12549
06:11:39,441 --> 06:11:40,750
salaries are still bloated.

12550
06:11:40,750 --> 06:11:43,750
Please restore the cuts to

12551
06:11:43,912 --> 06:11:44,278
library and rec center and

12552
06:11:44,278 --> 06:11:44,713
the arts.

>> I am here to state my

12558
06:11:59,562 --> 06:12:00,229
opposition to cuts to the arts

12559
06:12:00,229 --> 06:12:03,229
and parks services and would

12560
06:12:04,667 --> 06:12:05,333
urge our City Council to

12561
06:12:05,333 --> 06:12:05,734
consider ending our contract

12562
06:12:05,734 --> 06:12:06,368
with Block.

12563
06:12:06,368 --> 06:12:09,571
I'd like to thank the City

12564
06:12:09,571 --> 06:12:10,305
Council for being patient and

12565
06:12:10,305 --> 06:12:10,940
hearing our voice for many many

12566
06:12:10,940 --> 06:12:13,340
against these meetings On

12567
06:12:14,176 --> 06:12:14,843
Tuesday afternoons are

12568
06:12:14,843 --> 06:12:15,544
unattainable as we work very

12569
06:12:15,544 --> 06:12:15,844
hard to enjoy America's finest

12570
06:12:15,844 --> 06:12:17,844
city.

12571
06:12:19,448 --> 06:12:19,882
Our investment in park is not

12572
06:12:19,882 --> 06:12:20,616
keep us safe.

12573
06:12:20,616 --> 06:12:23,160
Our investment in communities

12574
06:12:23,752 --> 06:12:24,486
does So if we're able to

12575
06:12:24,486 --> 06:12:28,860
address the root cause of crime

12576
06:12:28,391 --> 06:12:29,910
which is shattered social

12577
06:12:29,910 --> 06:12:29,659
services and funding we'll be

12578
06:12:29,659 --> 06:12:32,590
able to prevent crime.

12579
06:12:33,529 --> 06:12:34,129
Unlike mass surveillance,

12580
06:12:34,129 --> 06:12:34,797
giving away our right to

12581
06:12:34,797 --> 06:12:37,797
privacy today is taking away

12582
06:12:38,700 --> 06:12:41,100
rights for future generations.

12583
06:12:43,572 --> 06:12:44,173
I again implore you to cancel

12584
06:12:44,173 --> 06:12:44,874
the flight contract and

12585
06:12:44,874 --> 06:12:48,276
reinvest in San Diego to make

12586
06:12:48,276 --> 06:12:48,676
sure that we remain America's

12587
06:12:48,676 --> 06:12:50,579
finest city.

12588
06:12:50,579 --> 06:12:52,979

12589
06:12:56,686 --> 06:12:58,686
and flock.

12590
06:12:59,789 --> 06:13:00,589

12602
06:13:17,600 --> 06:13:17,673
How we choose to invest our

12603
06:13:17,673 --> 06:13:20,275
money dictates the future of

12604
06:13:20,275 --> 06:13:20,877
our city.

12605
06:13:20,877 --> 06:13:21,544
Our budget should tell

12606
06:13:21,544 --> 06:13:22,110
the story of hope over fear.

12607
06:13:22,110 --> 06:13:22,645
Fear is funding

12608
06:13:22,645 --> 06:13:25,450
the surveillance of our

12609
06:13:25,314 --> 06:13:26,480
community members while

12610
06:13:26,480 --> 06:13:26,649
reducing the services that keep

12611
06:13:26,649 --> 06:13:29,490
them safe and supported.

12612
06:13:30,190 --> 06:13:30,653
Fear is bankrolling automated

12613
06:13:30,653 --> 06:13:31,320
license plate readers and

12614
06:13:31,320 --> 06:13:32,540
already dangerous technology

12615
06:13:32,540 --> 06:13:34,454
under a hospital administration

12616
06:13:35,691 --> 06:13:36,392
in anticipation of problems

12617
06:13:36,392 --> 06:13:36,859
that have not yet occurred and

12618
06:13:36,859 --> 06:13:37,427
MAY never occur.

12619
06:13:37,427 --> 06:13:39,827
There is the planned

12620
06:13:40,296 --> 06:13:40,863
overinvestment in law

12621
06:13:40,863 --> 06:13:41,564
enforcement all while

12622
06:13:41,564 --> 06:13:42,298
recklessly accepting San Diego

12623
06:13:42,298 --> 06:13:44,298
police departments skyrocketing

12624
06:13:45,268 --> 06:13:46,200
over time and civil lawsuit

12625
06:13:46,200 --> 06:13:46,469
settlement cost as the price of

12626
06:13:46,469 --> 06:13:48,469
supposed safety.

12627
06:13:49,572 --> 06:13:50,439
We need to change the story.

12628
06:13:50,439 --> 06:13:51,600
Hope is investing in a future

12629
06:13:51,600 --> 06:13:51,607
where all can thrive.

12630
06:13:51,607 --> 06:13:54,700
It means funding proven

12631
06:13:54,844 --> 06:13:55,445
solutions to the problems that

12632
06:13:55,445 --> 06:13:56,179
we are facing right now.

12633
06:13:56,179 --> 06:13:56,879
Hope means supporting our youth

12634
06:13:56,879 --> 06:13:59,279
in community centered services

12635
06:14:00,616 --> 06:14:01,317
and programs like parks and Rec

12636
06:14:01,317 --> 06:14:02,510
libraries, the Office of Child

12637
06:14:02,510 --> 06:14:04,920
and Youth Success and the Arts.

12638
06:14:04,920 --> 06:14:05,488
Hope means finding peaceful

12639
06:14:05,488 --> 06:14:06,189
infrastructure Serving

12640
06:14:06,189 --> 06:14:06,889
the constituents of this city

12641
06:14:06,889 --> 06:14:09,889
means investing in our future

12642
06:14:10,693 --> 06:14:11,327
and not our oppression.

12643
06:14:11,327 --> 06:14:12,280
Funding services San Diego

12644
06:14:12,280 --> 06:14:12,762
desperately need but San Diego

12645
06:14:12,762 --> 06:14:13,630
budget tell us their time has

12646
06:14:13,630 --> 06:14:14,970
come.

12647
06:14:14,970 --> 06:14:16,970
Thank you.

12648
06:14:18,535 --> 06:14:18,835
Jesse if you can please unmute

12649
06:14:18,835 --> 06:14:19,135
.

12650
06:14:19,135 --> 06:14:19,702
You.

12651
06:14:19,702 --> 06:14:21,702
Good afternoon Council

12652
06:14:23,773 --> 06:14:24,640
PRESIDENT And Council members.

12653
06:14:24,640 --> 06:14:25,241
My name is Jesse Committee and

12654
06:14:25,241 --> 06:14:25,942
I served as you District

12655
06:14:25,942 --> 06:14:28,111
Commissioner on the Commission

12656
06:14:28,111 --> 06:14:28,544
on Gang Prevention and

12657
06:14:28,544 --> 06:14:29,212
Intervention.

12658
06:14:29,212 --> 06:14:29,878
I'm here today in support of

12659
06:14:29,878 --> 06:14:32,278
ending the city's automated

12660
06:14:33,483 --> 06:14:34,150
license plate reader contract.

12661
06:14:34,150 --> 06:14:34,717
I want to thank COUNCILWOMAN

12662
06:14:34,717 --> 06:14:35,351
Vivian Moreno for her

12663
06:14:35,351 --> 06:14:37,751
commitment to working with

12664
06:14:38,210 --> 06:14:38,755
community and continuing to

12665
06:14:38,755 --> 06:14:41,755
uplift our voices and concerns.

12666
06:14:42,492 --> 06:14:43,193
As someone who works on issues

12667
06:14:43,193 --> 06:14:43,927
related to violence prevention

12668
06:14:43,927 --> 06:14:44,560
and community safety, I believe

12669
06:14:44,560 --> 06:14:47,560
that we must be thoughtful

12670
06:14:47,664 --> 06:14:48,264
about the types of investments

12671
06:14:48,264 --> 06:14:48,932
that we actually make

12672
06:14:48,932 --> 06:14:50,932
throughout our communities.

12673
06:14:51,901 --> 06:14:52,469
District has north of 100 hpr

12674
06:14:52,469 --> 06:14:54,469
cameras throughout our

12675
06:14:55,605 --> 06:14:56,306
community nearly 20% of which

12676
06:14:56,306 --> 06:14:59,906
are within a half mile of

12677
06:15:00,243 --> 06:15:00,777
Chicano bart cameras stretching

12678
06:15:00,777 --> 06:15:01,344
along Logan Avenue.

12679
06:15:01,344 --> 06:15:02,450
Communities that have

12680
06:15:02,450 --> 06:15:04,450
historically been overpoliced

12681
06:15:05,348 --> 06:15:06,160
including immigrant

12682
06:15:06,160 --> 06:15:06,550
communities, communities of

12683
06:15:06,550 --> 06:15:07,150
color and low income

12684
06:15:07,150 --> 06:15:09,150
neighborhoods often bear

12685
06:15:10,653 --> 06:15:11,870
the greatest burden of expanded

12686
06:15:11,870 --> 06:15:11,821
surveillance.

12687
06:15:11,821 --> 06:15:12,489
Public safety is strongest when

12688
06:15:12,489 --> 06:15:14,889
communities trust the public

12689
06:15:15,659 --> 06:15:16,325
institutions.

12690
06:15:16,325 --> 06:15:16,959
That trust is built through

12691
06:15:16,959 --> 06:15:17,527
investment in people, not

12692
06:15:17,527 --> 06:15:19,527
perpetual expansion of

12693
06:15:21,131 --> 06:15:21,898
surveillance infrastructure.

12694
06:15:21,898 --> 06:15:22,332
I urge the Council to terminate

12695
06:15:22,332 --> 06:15:22,832
this contract.

12696
06:15:22,832 --> 06:15:24,832
Time has expired.

12697
06:15:26,169 --> 06:15:26,770
Thank you Satterlee for

12698
06:15:26,770 --> 06:15:28,770
following Martinez Cano.

12699
06:15:29,773 --> 06:15:32,773
After that is Tanner Moreno

12700
06:15:34,411 --> 06:15:35,112
said slowly If you can think of

12701
06:15:35,112 --> 06:15:35,678
your constituents have spoken

12702
06:15:35,678 --> 06:15:36,312
to you for hours about

12703
06:15:36,312 --> 06:15:38,712
the importance of funding

12704
06:15:40,450 --> 06:15:41,840
communities, the realities of

12705
06:15:41,840 --> 06:15:41,718
funding floc how it would

12706
06:15:41,718 --> 06:15:43,718
target women marginalized

12707
06:15:44,588 --> 06:15:44,988
communities and do more harm

12708
06:15:44,988 --> 06:15:45,756
than good.

12709
06:15:45,756 --> 06:15:46,189
But I'll speak to you about

12710
06:15:46,189 --> 06:15:48,189
what you like.

12711
06:15:50,660 --> 06:15:51,360
Money Floc will lose money for

12712
06:15:51,360 --> 06:15:51,962
San Diego whereas the arts and

12713
06:15:51,962 --> 06:15:52,296
community orgs increase

12714
06:15:52,296 --> 06:15:54,296
funding.

12715
06:15:55,665 --> 06:15:56,432
Floc will not cost 2 million.

12716
06:15:56,432 --> 06:15:57,167
It will cost much much more.

12717
06:15:57,167 --> 06:16:00,167
San Diego police is already

12718
06:16:00,203 --> 06:16:00,636
facing a lawsuit due to misuse

12719
06:16:00,636 --> 06:16:02,636
of Floc data.

12720
06:16:03,840 --> 06:16:04,308
They're seeking 1.5 million

12721
06:16:04,308 --> 06:16:05,800
each in damages.

12722
06:16:05,800 --> 06:16:05,509
That's not 2 million for Floc

12723
06:16:05,509 --> 06:16:07,509
That's 5 million.

12724
06:16:08,412 --> 06:16:09,460
With many more incidents to

12725
06:16:09,460 --> 06:16:12,460
come Floc is easy, easily

12726
06:16:12,883 --> 06:16:13,650
hackable and it has already

12727
06:16:13,650 --> 06:16:14,251
been used in disgusting ways to

12728
06:16:14,251 --> 06:16:14,618
support eyes and harass

12729
06:16:14,618 --> 06:16:16,618
citizens.

12730
06:16:17,887 --> 06:16:18,355
You cannot afford floc and

12731
06:16:18,355 --> 06:16:19,220
nobody wants it.

12732
06:16:19,220 --> 06:16:21,422
Support youth services arts

12733
06:16:22,993 --> 06:16:23,759
community orgs.

12734
06:16:23,759 --> 06:16:24,261
Nobody wants Floc and San Diego

12735
06:16:24,261 --> 06:16:26,261
cannot afford it.

12736
06:16:27,865 --> 06:16:28,265
Thank you.

12737
06:16:28,265 --> 06:16:28,732
Thank you.

12738
06:16:28,732 --> 06:16:30,732
Next is Tanner.

12739
06:16:35,973 --> 06:16:36,273
If you can please unmute Tanner

12740
06:16:36,273 --> 06:16:38,273
.

12741
06:16:42,579 --> 06:16:43,146
Hello.

12742
06:16:43,146 --> 06:16:43,614
We can hear you.

12743
06:16:43,614 --> 06:16:43,914
Please proceed.

12744
06:16:43,914 --> 06:16:44,381
Sorry.

12745
06:16:44,381 --> 06:16:45,810
Yes, thank you.

12746
06:16:45,810 --> 06:16:47,751
I would like to thank

12747
06:16:47,751 --> 06:16:48,485
councilmembers Shani Le Rivera,

12748
06:16:48,485 --> 06:16:51,485
Henry Foster Cantley and Vivian

12749
06:16:52,122 --> 06:16:52,857
Moreno for a proposal to end

12750
06:16:52,857 --> 06:16:53,524
the contract and put money back

12751
06:16:53,524 --> 06:16:56,524
into the communities of San

12752
06:16:56,994 --> 06:16:57,861
Diego.

12753
06:16:57,861 --> 06:16:58,729
Just this week at the Times of

12754
06:16:58,729 --> 06:17:02,660
San Diego reported how Floc led

12755
06:17:02,660 --> 06:17:02,566
an innocent man to be jailed

12756
06:17:02,566 --> 06:17:04,966
for over a month.

12757
06:17:06,303 --> 06:17:06,937
It doesn't keep you in your

12758
06:17:06,937 --> 06:17:07,704
safe because it's to waste

12759
06:17:07,704 --> 06:17:10,704
money on lawsuits and our

12760
06:17:11,800 --> 06:17:11,609
freedoms.

12761
06:17:11,609 --> 06:17:12,276
Councilmember Flippen.

12762
06:17:12,276 --> 06:17:15,112
As a member of your district

12763
06:17:15,112 --> 06:17:15,846
please vote to shut down Fort.

12764
06:17:15,846 --> 06:17:16,480
Protect our civil liberties and

12765
06:17:16,480 --> 06:17:19,950
put our money back to our

12766
06:17:19,950 --> 06:17:20,551
communities for everyone.

12767
06:17:20,551 --> 06:17:20,917
>> Thank you.

12768
06:17:20,917 --> 06:17:22,152
Thank you.

12769
06:17:22,152 --> 06:17:25,752
Next is Francis If you can

12770
06:17:27,992 --> 06:17:31,592
please unmute just a couple of

12771
06:17:32,930 --> 06:17:33,230
blocks from where you're all at

12772
06:17:33,230 --> 06:17:33,797
.

12773
06:17:33,797 --> 06:17:34,464
At Bluebottle Coffee I

12774
06:17:34,464 --> 06:17:35,990
overheard Mayor Gloria tell

12775
06:17:35,990 --> 06:17:38,350
the chair of the San Diego

12776
06:17:38,350 --> 06:17:38,702
Democratic Party they needed to

12777
06:17:38,702 --> 06:17:39,203
make sure the public didn't

12778
06:17:39,203 --> 06:17:39,637
blame the city for

12779
06:17:39,637 --> 06:17:41,637
the flooding.

12780
06:17:43,730 --> 06:17:43,708
Budgets are moral documents.

12781
06:17:43,708 --> 06:17:46,708
The flooding was a direct

12782
06:17:47,277 --> 06:17:47,845
result of years of neglected

12783
06:17:47,845 --> 06:17:48,278
drain planning in poor

12784
06:17:48,278 --> 06:17:50,278
neighborhoods.

12785
06:17:51,616 --> 06:17:52,383
But you all voted for.

12786
06:17:52,383 --> 06:17:52,916
And do you remember when many

12787
06:17:52,916 --> 06:17:55,316
many of you approved

12788
06:17:56,286 --> 06:17:56,721
the mayor's plan to criminalize

12789
06:17:56,721 --> 06:17:57,455
the unhoused?

12790
06:17:57,455 --> 06:18:01,550
Well, how much time now do

12791
06:18:01,692 --> 06:18:02,259
the police spend doing sweeps

12792
06:18:02,259 --> 06:18:02,959
and picking people up?

12793
06:18:02,959 --> 06:18:05,959
I actually watch someone then

12794
06:18:06,931 --> 06:18:07,665
spend a half hour arresting a

12795
06:18:07,665 --> 06:18:08,990
man in a wheelchair for missing

12796
06:18:08,990 --> 06:18:10,990
a court date.

12797
06:18:11,301 --> 06:18:11,969
That man needed food, a shower

12798
06:18:11,969 --> 06:18:14,969
shelter and a community that

12799
06:18:16,106 --> 06:18:16,874
cares about him not police.

12800
06:18:16,874 --> 06:18:19,874
Dehumanizing him in public and

12801
06:18:21,812 --> 06:18:22,513
and and taking him in.

12802
06:18:22,513 --> 06:18:23,113
Perpetuating a broken system.

12803
06:18:23,113 --> 06:18:25,113
I'm personally appalled

12804
06:18:26,184 --> 06:18:26,850
The mayor Gloria was chosen to

12805
06:18:26,850 --> 06:18:27,517
lead the Council of Mayors.

12806
06:18:27,517 --> 06:18:30,188
I hope instead of spreading

12807
06:18:30,188 --> 06:18:30,688
draconian policies he'll learn

12808
06:18:30,688 --> 06:18:31,456
from other mayors.

12809
06:18:31,456 --> 06:18:34,456
>> Lead with your time has

12810
06:18:37,662 --> 06:18:38,729

12813
06:18:45,436 --> 06:18:46,370
Oh, hi all My name is Sparky.

12814
06:18:46,370 --> 06:18:46,436
Dear councilmembers I'm

12815
06:18:46,436 --> 06:18:48,339
sparking me.

12816
06:18:48,339 --> 06:18:49,600
You're an engineering Ph.D.

12817
06:18:49,600 --> 06:18:49,574
Student and three resident.

12818
06:18:49,574 --> 06:18:50,274
It's time to abandon a

12819
06:18:50,274 --> 06:18:52,674
dystopian desire for a

12820
06:18:53,678 --> 06:18:54,379
surveillance state in favor of

12821
06:18:54,379 --> 06:18:54,878
one that serves the people and

12822
06:18:54,878 --> 06:18:56,878
truly protects us.

12823
06:18:57,881 --> 06:18:58,482
What keeps us safe Investing in

12824
06:18:58,482 --> 06:18:59,170
child and youth success.

12825
06:18:59,170 --> 06:18:59,684
What keeps us safe?

12826
06:18:59,684 --> 06:19:02,840
Putting money towards arts,

12827
06:19:02,654 --> 06:19:03,254
culture, libraries and parks

12828
06:19:03,254 --> 06:19:04,121
Who keeps us safe?

12829
06:19:04,121 --> 06:19:07,826
We keep us safe Not flock not

12830
06:19:07,826 --> 06:19:08,259
corporations not over

12831
06:19:08,259 --> 06:19:08,993
surveillance.

12832
06:19:08,993 --> 06:19:09,627
Now it's your time to decide If

12833
06:19:09,627 --> 06:19:10,228
you'll join us you get to

12834
06:19:10,228 --> 06:19:12,628
decide with your wallet.

12835
06:19:12,931 --> 06:19:13,431
Thank you.

12836
06:19:13,431 --> 06:19:13,898
>> Thank you.

12837
06:19:13,898 --> 06:19:15,898
Next is Yana.

12838
06:19:18,360 --> 06:19:18,369

12839

12840
06:19:21,838 --> 06:19:22,540
Oh, can you guys hear me?

12841
06:19:22,540 --> 06:19:22,907
>> Yes please proceed.

12842
06:19:22,907 --> 06:19:24,907
Thank you.

12843
06:19:27,412 --> 06:19:27,946
I'm here to oppose the cuts to

12844
06:19:27,946 --> 06:19:28,679
our infrastructure.

12845
06:19:28,679 --> 06:19:29,251
You now know that floor cameras

12846
06:19:29,251 --> 06:19:31,651
have zero oversight no

12847
06:19:32,116 --> 06:19:32,717
meaningful impact and leaves us

12848
06:19:32,717 --> 06:19:33,451
vulnerable for lawsuits.

12849
06:19:33,451 --> 06:19:36,588
Do not forget it failed to stop

12850
06:19:36,588 --> 06:19:37,355
the Islamic center shooting an

12851
06:19:37,355 --> 06:19:38,230
event enabled by our mayor and

12852
06:19:38,230 --> 06:19:40,992
this council failure to meet

12853
06:19:40,992 --> 06:19:41,726
Islamophobia with the same zeal

12854
06:19:41,726 --> 06:19:42,193
It discourages dissent toward a

12855
06:19:42,193 --> 06:19:42,861
foreign nation.

12856
06:19:42,861 --> 06:19:46,163
So why pour millions into a

12857
06:19:46,163 --> 06:19:46,931
tool that does not work?

12858
06:19:46,931 --> 06:19:47,632
You know these systems continue

12859
06:19:47,632 --> 06:19:50,320
to amplify algorithmic racial

12860
06:19:50,635 --> 06:19:51,169
profiling in neighborhoods

12861
06:19:51,169 --> 06:19:51,903
already over police.

12862
06:19:51,903 --> 06:19:54,903
The cpd 2025 crime report shows

12863
06:19:55,707 --> 06:19:56,340
that overall crime fell by 6%

12864
06:19:56,340 --> 06:19:56,641
and is expected to stay on

12865
06:19:56,641 --> 06:19:57,175
trend.

12866
06:19:57,175 --> 06:19:59,575
Yet our spending on

12867
06:20:00,478 --> 06:20:01,246
surveillance keeps rising.

12868
06:20:01,246 --> 06:20:01,946
Honestly, how is an officer

12869
06:20:01,946 --> 06:20:02,647
supposed to prevent crime when

12870
06:20:02,647 --> 06:20:05,750
our youth have nowhere to go?

12871
06:20:05,750 --> 06:20:06,418
We should be investing in arts,

12872
06:20:06,418 --> 06:20:07,118
public space, youth programs

12873
06:20:07,118 --> 06:20:07,719
and infrastructure the things

12874
06:20:07,719 --> 06:20:10,288
that are proven to build

12875
06:20:10,288 --> 06:20:10,956
community resilience And to

12876
06:20:10,956 --> 06:20:11,690
the folks who say we already

12877
06:20:11,690 --> 06:20:14,325
carry a smartphone so who cares

12878
06:20:14,325 --> 06:20:14,926
about privacy with respect Many

12879
06:20:14,926 --> 06:20:15,660
of them can't even find

12880
06:20:15,660 --> 06:20:15,994
the brightness setting on their

12881
06:20:15,994 --> 06:20:16,628
device.

12882
06:20:16,628 --> 06:20:19,280
Please divest from Private

12883
06:20:19,297 --> 06:20:19,964
Shady companies and invest in

12884
06:20:19,964 --> 06:20:20,432
San Diego and not in our

12885
06:20:20,432 --> 06:20:22,432
criminalization.

12886
06:20:23,201 --> 06:20:23,801
Thank you.

12887
06:20:23,801 --> 06:20:24,735
>> Thank you Tony.

12888
06:20:24,735 --> 06:20:28,335

and serve Verizon's concerns as

12891
06:20:36,448 --> 06:20:36,881
an extra veteran can hear me

12892
06:20:36,881 --> 06:20:38,881
Yes we can.

12893
06:20:41,286 --> 06:20:43,286
>> Please proceed.

12894
06:20:50,695 --> 06:20:51,396
I notice that the up has been

12895
06:20:51,396 --> 06:20:54,867
all over the city and it's not

12896
06:20:54,867 --> 06:20:55,934
something that I paid for or

12897
06:20:55,934 --> 06:21:00,572
that we had a vote on And and

12898
06:21:00,572 --> 06:21:01,273
like I said I me being a

12899
06:21:01,273 --> 06:21:04,273
veteran fought for our rights

12900
06:21:04,642 --> 06:21:05,210
and our freedoms and this

12901
06:21:05,210 --> 06:21:07,210
violates that freedom.

12902
06:21:08,814 --> 06:21:09,614
I feel like we should defund

12903
06:21:09,614 --> 06:21:12,614
our law contract and reinvest

12904
06:21:13,485 --> 06:21:14,186
into the community and to

12905
06:21:14,186 --> 06:21:17,786
the ymca Boys and Girls Club,

12906
06:21:18,523 --> 06:21:21,523
the Arts because those programs

12907
06:21:22,961 --> 06:21:23,729
work and the community for

12908
06:21:23,729 --> 06:21:27,329
which we all grow and benefit

12909
06:21:27,332 --> 06:21:29,732
from that Defund police.

12910
06:21:31,270 --> 06:21:33,270
Thank you, Nancy.

fail rate.

12927
06:21:57,997 --> 06:22:00,766
It's about investment When it

12928
06:22:00,766 --> 06:22:01,266
failed to stop a domestic

12929
06:22:01,266 --> 06:22:02,000
terrorist attack.

12930
06:22:02,000 --> 06:22:05,600
A good investment is focused on

12931
06:22:05,871 --> 06:22:06,572
prevention by preventing a

12932
06:22:06,572 --> 06:22:07,139
costly outbreak and providing

12933
06:22:07,139 --> 06:22:09,539

12934
06:22:11,420 --> 06:22:11,744
preventing overflowing yards by

12935
06:22:11,744 --> 06:22:12,344
providing a place for someone

12936
06:22:12,344 --> 06:22:12,845
to receive their medical

12937

Case management support and

12939
06:22:16,849 --> 06:22:17,550

keep their Medi-Cal under H.R.

12942
06:22:21,186 --> 06:22:21,887
This is wise.

Foxman used to wrongly accused

and jail people.

12945
06:22:25,624 --> 06:22:26,325
It's been used to stalk women

12946
06:22:26,325 --> 06:22:28,725
protesters and immigrants and

12947
06:22:30,562 --> 06:22:31,197
cpd for documents Are now so

12948
06:22:31,197 --> 06:22:31,964
severely redacted and one

12949
06:22:31,964 --> 06:22:35,564
officer looks up when and how

12950
06:22:35,634 --> 06:22:36,401
often.

12951
06:22:36,401 --> 06:22:37,360
How can I trust that you'll

12952
06:22:37,360 --> 06:22:37,770
catch any wrongdoing by an

12953
06:22:37,770 --> 06:22:40,770
officer when cpd did it

12954
06:22:41,373 --> 06:22:41,907
willingly do that when your

12955
06:22:41,907 --> 06:22:42,741

Good afternoon and thank you

12959
06:22:50,683 --> 06:22:51,283
for the slurry ideas to fund

12960
06:22:51,283 --> 06:22:53,283
the multimodal program.

12961
06:22:54,954 --> 06:22:55,621
They designed safe crossings

12962
06:22:55,621 --> 06:22:58,621
and complete streets in all

12963
06:22:59,325 --> 06:23:00,260
nine council districts In 2024

12964
06:23:00,260 --> 06:23:00,693
crashes kill three times more

12965
06:23:00,693 --> 06:23:03,930
San Diegans than homicides.

12966
06:23:04,397 --> 06:23:05,310
That's a safety need.

12967
06:23:05,310 --> 06:23:08,310
This team also wins state

12968
06:23:08,834 --> 06:23:09,268
grants and supports affordable

12969
06:23:09,268 --> 06:23:09,869
housing.

12970
06:23:09,869 --> 06:23:10,603
Cutting them would cost

12971
06:23:10,603 --> 06:23:14,203
the city And you know about

12972
06:23:14,207 --> 06:23:15,400
costly lawsuits from crashes.

12973
06:23:15,400 --> 06:23:18,177
This team would help avoid that

12974
06:23:18,177 --> 06:23:18,944
for general revenue.

12975
06:23:18,944 --> 06:23:19,245
Sell custom San Diego street

12976
06:23:19,245 --> 06:23:19,812
signs.

12977
06:23:19,812 --> 06:23:22,212
Like other cities do.

12978
06:23:24,820 --> 06:23:24,750
New York City just sold out of

12979
06:23:24,750 --> 06:23:26,750
Knickerbocker Avenue signs.

12980
06:23:27,987 --> 06:23:28,688
Guess why?

12981
06:23:28,688 --> 06:23:29,388
For everyone else, let's

12982
06:23:29,388 --> 06:23:32,388
pressure Congress to cut just

12983
06:23:32,758 --> 06:23:33,326
one f-35 fighter jet.

12984
06:23:33,326 --> 06:23:33,726
That alone would cover

12985
06:23:33,726 --> 06:23:34,393
the deficit.

12986
06:23:34,393 --> 06:23:37,363
Thank you for your continued

12987
06:23:37,363 --> 06:23:37,997
investment in the multimodal

12988
06:23:37,997 --> 06:23:38,565
program and fund the West

12989
06:23:38,565 --> 06:23:40,565
Valley River crossing.

12990
06:23:42,801 --> 06:23:43,201
It really would be epic for all

12991
06:23:43,201 --> 06:23:43,669
San Diegans.

12992
06:23:43,669 --> 06:23:45,669
>> Thank you.

12993
06:23:46,506 --> 06:23:48,506
Thank you, Danny.

12994
06:23:51,778 --> 06:23:55,378
If you can please unmute me.

12995
06:23:56,820 --> 06:23:56,849
Yes, please proceed.

12996
06:23:56,849 --> 06:23:57,550
So my name is Danny Rose.

12997
06:23:57,550 --> 06:23:57,850
I'm a resident of District

12998
06:23:57,850 --> 06:23:59,850
three.

12999
06:24:01,220 --> 06:24:01,854
If this council claims to care

13000
06:24:01,854 --> 06:24:02,521
about the people that you

13001
06:24:02,521 --> 06:24:03,222
represent then I ask you to

13002
06:24:03,222 --> 06:24:03,857
think about your neighbors who

13003
06:24:03,857 --> 06:24:05,758
are just trying to make it

13004
06:24:05,758 --> 06:24:06,426
through the week.

13005
06:24:06,426 --> 06:24:07,126
Think about parents who are

13006
06:24:07,126 --> 06:24:07,727
looking for something free to

13007
06:24:07,727 --> 06:24:08,940
do with their kids on a

13008
06:24:08,940 --> 06:24:10,940
Saturday.

13009
06:24:10,797 --> 06:24:11,431
Think about kids and teens that

13010
06:24:11,431 --> 06:24:11,864
need somewhere to be when

13011
06:24:11,864 --> 06:24:12,532
school is out.

13012
06:24:12,532 --> 06:24:13,266
Think about college students

13013
06:24:13,266 --> 06:24:16,690
who are stretched thin and just

13014
06:24:16,690 --> 06:24:16,669
need to go sit in a park that's

13015
06:24:16,669 --> 06:24:17,402
maintained or study in a

13016
06:24:17,402 --> 06:24:19,838
library that's openly access to

13017
06:24:19,838 --> 06:24:20,373
those things is how people are

13018
06:24:20,373 --> 06:24:21,390
holding it together.

13019
06:24:21,390 --> 06:24:21,640
We make it to the next week

13020
06:24:21,640 --> 06:24:24,640
with the support of our

13021
06:24:25,770 --> 06:24:25,878
community and we can only help

13022
06:24:25,878 --> 06:24:26,579
each other if we have space

13023
06:24:26,579 --> 06:24:26,846
safe spaces dedicated to doing

13024
06:24:26,846 --> 06:24:28,846
so.

13025
06:24:29,282 --> 06:24:29,716
Block Safety cameras don't do

13026
06:24:29,716 --> 06:24:30,350
that.

13027
06:24:30,350 --> 06:24:30,850
Surveillance doesn't make

13028
06:24:30,850 --> 06:24:31,551
people feel safe.

13029
06:24:31,551 --> 06:24:33,820
It makes people feel watched.

13030
06:24:33,820 --> 06:24:34,587
Cities don't become communities

13031
06:24:34,587 --> 06:24:35,210
because you put more cameras on

13032
06:24:35,210 --> 06:24:35,555
their corners.

13033
06:24:35,555 --> 06:24:36,222
So today you have an

13034
06:24:36,222 --> 06:24:39,222
opportunity to tell us with

13035
06:24:40,590 --> 06:24:40,894
your vote that you see us.

13036
06:24:40,894 --> 06:24:41,327
You hear us and you're going to

13037
06:24:41,327 --> 06:24:41,961
invest in us.

13038
06:24:41,961 --> 06:24:43,962
Please cancel the flier

13039
06:24:43,962 --> 06:24:44,697
contract.

13040
06:24:44,697 --> 06:24:45,331
>> One of the library's arts

13041
06:24:45,331 --> 06:24:45,698
parks and youth programs.

13042
06:24:45,698 --> 06:24:47,467
Thank you.

13043
06:24:47,467 --> 06:24:48,134
Thank you.

13044
06:24:48,134 --> 06:24:51,134
And x is John Stump.

13045
06:24:52,272 --> 06:24:53,339
If you can please unmute.

13046
06:24:53,339 --> 06:24:57,100
John Stump I can on mute for

13047
06:24:57,100 --> 06:24:57,577
you.

13048
06:24:57,577 --> 06:24:58,244
>> There you go.

13049
06:24:58,244 --> 06:25:01,244
Yes, Thank you very much.

13050
06:25:02,281 --> 06:25:02,949
Earlier I provided you a

13051
06:25:02,949 --> 06:25:05,349
suggestion for gaining more

13052
06:25:06,586 --> 06:25:10,186
funds by charging a rebate to

13053
06:25:11,591 --> 06:25:12,459
any operator in the Belmore

13054
06:25:12,459 --> 06:25:16,590
Park and other parks that pays

13055
06:25:16,229 --> 06:25:16,730
their employees more than half

13056
06:25:16,730 --> 06:25:18,730
$1 million a year.

13057
06:25:20,767 --> 06:25:21,568
What I'm concerned about in

13058
06:25:21,568 --> 06:25:24,568
this budget is particularly for

13059
06:25:26,373 --> 06:25:27,107
the council persons in

13060
06:25:27,107 --> 06:25:30,107
districts four, eight and nine.

13061
06:25:31,478 --> 06:25:34,478
Have you provided that funding

13062
06:25:35,215 --> 06:25:37,615
for the 2024 flood victims?

13063
06:25:39,319 --> 06:25:40,530
Is there money in the liability

13064
06:25:40,530 --> 06:25:43,653
fund to pay the half billion

13065
06:25:44,524 --> 06:25:47,524
dollars worth of claims for

13066
06:25:49,162 --> 06:25:50,300
the 2024 flood victims?

13067
06:25:50,300 --> 06:25:50,963
Or is an attorney like Michael

13068
06:25:50,963 --> 06:25:54,468
Geary going to have to come and

13069
06:25:54,468 --> 06:25:54,868
demand those funds from you in

13070
06:25:54,868 --> 06:25:55,402
that trial?

13071
06:25:55,402 --> 06:25:55,836
Thank you very much.

13072
06:25:55,836 --> 06:25:57,803
Bye bye.

13073
06:25:57,803 --> 06:26:01,403
Next is Pat Wilson please on

13074
06:26:07,280 --> 06:26:07,848
mute but Wilson presents San

13075
06:26:07,848 --> 06:26:08,515
Diego Public Library.

13076
06:26:08,515 --> 06:26:08,949
Sorry I couldn't be there in

13077
06:26:08,949 --> 06:26:10,949
person today.

13078
06:26:12,452 --> 06:26:13,119
Thank you for being responsive

13079
06:26:13,119 --> 06:26:13,820
to the public's advocacy on

13080
06:26:13,820 --> 06:26:14,187
behalf of libraries, parks and

13081
06:26:14,187 --> 06:26:16,187
the arts.

13082
06:26:18,910 --> 06:26:18,759
Investing in community

13083
06:26:18,759 --> 06:26:19,559
resources is public safety.

13084
06:26:19,559 --> 06:26:22,663
There's still more work to be

13085
06:26:22,663 --> 06:26:23,297
done though.

13086
06:26:23,297 --> 06:26:23,964
Library hours haven't been

13087
06:26:23,964 --> 06:26:24,298
fully restored even to 2026

13088
06:26:24,298 --> 06:26:26,298
levels.

13089
06:26:27,568 --> 06:26:28,268
So we request that be done.

13090
06:26:28,268 --> 06:26:31,268
Every community just needs its

13091
06:26:32,739 --> 06:26:33,373
libraries open and staffed.

13092
06:26:33,373 --> 06:26:34,400
The retro pennant skaters

13093
06:26:34,400 --> 06:26:34,741
branch should only be closed

13094
06:26:34,741 --> 06:26:36,877
for as long as the much needed

13095
06:26:36,877 --> 06:26:37,544
renovations take.

13096
06:26:37,544 --> 06:26:40,544
Not all year Auction tech

13097
06:26:40,981 --> 06:26:41,682
recreation centers are also

13098
06:26:41,682 --> 06:26:42,382
vital resources and should be

13099
06:26:42,382 --> 06:26:42,783
prioritized over surveillance

13100
06:26:42,783 --> 06:26:44,783
technology.

13101
06:26:46,986 --> 06:26:47,487
You can cancel a contract and

13102
06:26:47,487 --> 06:26:48,355
no one wants it.

13103
06:26:48,355 --> 06:26:51,492
Thank you very much for your

13104
06:26:51,492 --> 06:26:52,260
attention and good luck on

13105
06:26:52,260 --> 06:26:52,493
the rest of the day.

13106
06:26:52,493 --> 06:26:54,493
Thank you David.

13107
06:26:56,300 --> 06:26:56,497
See if you can please unmute.

13108
06:26:56,497 --> 06:26:57,497
Good afternoon.

13109
06:26:57,497 --> 06:27:01,697
My name is David Cathal and I'm

13110
06:27:01,735 --> 06:27:02,402
calling from Pacific Beach.

13111
06:27:02,402 --> 06:27:03,103
I want to emphasize how

13112
06:27:03,103 --> 06:27:05,839
important public safety is for

13113
06:27:05,839 --> 06:27:06,406
me, my neighborhood and people

13114
06:27:06,406 --> 06:27:07,740
all across the city.

13115
06:27:07,740 --> 06:27:07,741
Several city council members

13116
06:27:07,741 --> 06:27:10,741
say that they too prioritize

13117
06:27:11,679 --> 06:27:12,379
public safety and I ask them to

13118
06:27:12,379 --> 06:27:12,979
invest in one of the best ways

13119
06:27:12,979 --> 06:27:15,882
to keep San Diego safe.

13120
06:27:15,882 --> 06:27:16,183
That is funding the multi-modal

13121
06:27:16,183 --> 06:27:16,883
team.

13122
06:27:16,883 --> 06:27:17,585
It is easy to downplay and

13123
06:27:17,585 --> 06:27:20,585
dismiss the dangers of poorly

13124
06:27:20,788 --> 06:27:21,521
designed intersections and

13125
06:27:21,521 --> 06:27:22,222
crossings until someone dies in

13126
06:27:22,222 --> 06:27:24,622
funding the multi-modal team.

13127
06:27:25,392 --> 06:27:25,993
There is an opportunity to

13128
06:27:25,993 --> 06:27:26,660
proactively save lives.

13129
06:27:26,660 --> 06:27:29,660
You cannot save these lives

13130
06:27:29,963 --> 06:27:30,331
through weed brush and graffiti

13131
06:27:30,331 --> 06:27:32,331
abatement.

13132
06:27:33,367 --> 06:27:33,934
You cannot save lives with 12

13133
06:27:33,934 --> 06:27:34,734
miles of slurry seal.

13134
06:27:34,734 --> 06:27:38,239
If you wish to do more than

13135
06:27:38,239 --> 06:27:38,939
just pay lip service to public

13136
06:27:38,939 --> 06:27:39,673
safety and instead actually do

13137
06:27:39,673 --> 06:27:43,100
something about it if you value

13138
06:27:43,100 --> 06:27:43,711
the lives of all San Diegans

13139
06:27:43,711 --> 06:27:44,411
including the ones who choose

13140
06:27:44,411 --> 06:27:48,110
to walk, ride and roll please

13141
06:27:48,549 --> 06:27:49,117
use the r m funds to fund

13142
06:27:49,117 --> 06:27:51,117
the multi-modal team.

13143
06:27:53,200 --> 06:27:53,621
The West Valley River Crossing

13144
06:27:53,621 --> 06:27:54,880
should also be funded.

13145
06:27:54,880 --> 06:27:55,560
>> Thank you.

13146
06:27:55,560 --> 06:27:58,656

13167
06:28:52,680 --> 06:28:53,280
priorities and especially to

13168
06:28:53,280 --> 06:28:56,280

13169
06:28:57,151 --> 06:28:57,785
the funds are for the arts and

13170
06:28:57,785 --> 06:29:00,185
culture programs as well.

13171
06:29:02,256 --> 06:29:03,240
These services are priority for

13172
06:29:03,240 --> 06:29:05,793
our youth families and in all

13173
06:29:05,793 --> 06:29:06,494
communities especially in

13174
06:29:06,494 --> 06:29:07,161
District four, eight and nine.

13175
06:29:07,161 --> 06:29:09,561
Please, please, please make

13177
06:29:11,699 --> 06:29:14,699

13180
06:29:21,342 --> 06:29:21,676
I urge you do not support block

13181
06:29:21,676 --> 06:29:22,420
funding.

13182
06:29:22,420 --> 06:29:22,410
Thank you.

13183
06:29:22,410 --> 06:29:24,312

13186
06:29:29,417 --> 06:29:29,817
>> Hi.

13187
06:29:29,817 --> 06:29:30,585
Hi.

13188
06:29:30,585 --> 06:29:31,152
Yes my name is Dominic Landry

13189
06:29:31,152 --> 06:29:31,819
from the East Village

13190
06:29:31,819 --> 06:29:34,222
Association and I'm here to

13191
06:29:34,222 --> 06:29:34,856
speak in support of

13192
06:29:34,856 --> 06:29:37,856
the maintenance of the lpr

13193
06:29:38,893 --> 06:29:39,560
system utilized by sd pd.

13194
06:29:39,560 --> 06:29:39,928
East Village is a large

13195
06:29:39,928 --> 06:29:41,928
district.

13196
06:29:44,320 --> 06:29:44,632
We are the largest downtown

13197
06:29:44,632 --> 06:29:46,632
residential district and

13198
06:29:48,403 --> 06:29:49,137
because of our size we see and

13199
06:29:49,137 --> 06:29:49,738
because of our accessibility we

13200
06:29:49,738 --> 06:29:52,738
see a lot of unfortunate

13201
06:29:53,675 --> 06:29:54,376
criminal acts that happen in

13202
06:29:54,376 --> 06:29:55,420
and around downtown that seem

13203
06:29:55,420 --> 06:29:58,420
to pass through our district

13204
06:29:58,279 --> 06:29:59,800
And having an additional tool

13205
06:29:59,800 --> 06:30:02,751
for pd to follow up on crimes

13206
06:30:02,751 --> 06:30:03,385
and prosecute crimes via

13207
06:30:03,385 --> 06:30:04,180
evidence gathering that is

13208
06:30:04,180 --> 06:30:07,180
provided by the lpr system

13209
06:30:07,622 --> 06:30:08,289
helps our downtown community

13210
06:30:08,289 --> 06:30:08,857
remain safer and helps keep

13211
06:30:08,857 --> 06:30:10,857
criminals accountable.

13212
06:30:12,594 --> 06:30:13,428
I don't think that necessarily

13213
06:30:13,428 --> 06:30:14,129
that we need to choose between

13214
06:30:14,129 --> 06:30:16,731
arts funding or youth success

13215
06:30:16,731 --> 06:30:17,499
funding and lpr funding.

13216
06:30:17,499 --> 06:30:20,499
I consider both matters of

13217
06:30:21,369 --> 06:30:22,700
public safety and I think it's

13218
06:30:22,700 --> 06:30:22,837
incumbent upon this council to

13219
06:30:22,837 --> 06:30:27,370
find a way forward in which we

13220
06:30:27,175 --> 06:30:27,809
can accomplish both task in

13221
06:30:27,809 --> 06:30:28,510
terms of funding our youth

13222
06:30:28,510 --> 06:30:28,910
services but also keeping our

13223
06:30:28,910 --> 06:30:30,910
public safe.

13224
06:30:31,580 --> 06:30:32,460
Thank you.

13225
06:30:32,460 --> 06:30:32,814
>> Thank you.

13226
06:30:32,814 --> 06:30:33,247
We do have eight speakers left

13227
06:30:33,247 --> 06:30:33,948
in the queue.

13228
06:30:33,948 --> 06:30:35,683

13233
06:30:49,970 --> 06:30:49,764

13234
06:30:49,764 --> 06:30:52,764

encourage council members and

13274
06:32:10,979 --> 06:32:11,680
the mayor to set conditions

13275
06:32:11,680 --> 06:32:14,550
where young people continue to

13276
06:32:14,550 --> 06:32:14,950

After listening to

13287
06:32:33,169 --> 06:32:36,769
the testimony today I urge you

13288
06:32:37,139 --> 06:32:37,906
to cancel the flier contract

13289
06:32:37,906 --> 06:32:41,506
and invest those funds in park

mind and vote to shut down.

13304
06:33:06,135 --> 06:33:08,135
>> Thank you.

13305
06:33:10,172 --> 06:33:10,939
Council members set up hall

13306
06:33:10,939 --> 06:33:14,539
with the trust us Nicole and

13307
06:33:15,544 --> 06:33:16,780
it's very clear from

13308
06:33:16,780 --> 06:33:16,679
the testimony across

13309
06:33:16,679 --> 06:33:19,790
the community today that

13310
06:33:20,249 --> 06:33:20,816
surveillance system blocking

13311
06:33:20,816 --> 06:33:23,216
ubiquity is the wrong

13312
06:33:25,287 --> 06:33:25,887
technology in the wrong place

13313
06:33:25,887 --> 06:33:26,655
at the wrong time.

13314
06:33:26,655 --> 06:33:29,655
And the only remaining question

13315
06:33:30,893 --> 06:33:31,594
from this process is whether we

13316
06:33:31,594 --> 06:33:34,797
have the wrong city leaders in

13317
06:33:34,797 --> 06:33:35,498
place as well.

13318
06:33:35,498 --> 06:33:36,132
Four council members have

13319
06:33:36,132 --> 06:33:38,532
proposed biting the bullet

13320
06:33:39,769 --> 06:33:40,536
making difficult decisions to

13321
06:33:40,536 --> 06:33:42,936
reprioritize and fund community

13322
06:33:44,907 --> 06:33:45,641
services and fund the things

13323
06:33:45,641 --> 06:33:46,209
that the people who are talking

13324
06:33:46,209 --> 06:33:49,209
to you are asking for.

13325
06:33:50,113 --> 06:33:50,980
The question is do we have a

13326
06:33:50,980 --> 06:33:54,282
majority of city council and a

13327
06:33:54,282 --> 06:33:55,170
mayor who will double down on

13328
06:33:55,170 --> 06:33:58,170
using the wrong technology even

13329
06:33:59,122 --> 06:33:59,822
when the vast majority of

13330
06:33:59,822 --> 06:34:03,422
the community is asking you to

13331
06:34:03,993 --> 06:34:04,726
please redirect the funding?

13332
06:34:04,726 --> 06:34:05,361
I implore the City council

13333
06:34:05,361 --> 06:34:07,761
members to make difficult

13334
06:34:09,799 --> 06:34:10,500
decisions but to go ahead and

13335
06:34:10,500 --> 06:34:10,933
make them today and listen to

13336
06:34:10,933 --> 06:34:11,634
the community.

13337
06:34:11,634 --> 06:34:12,367
>> Your time has concluded and

13338
06:34:12,367 --> 06:34:13,136

13342
06:34:19,420 --> 06:34:19,676
Nichols and I'm the executive

13343
06:34:19,676 --> 06:34:22,578
director of the Who Quest

13344
06:34:22,578 --> 06:34:23,279
Business Association and I

13345
06:34:23,279 --> 06:34:23,813
represent 1800 small business

13346
06:34:23,813 --> 06:34:25,813
and property owners.

13347
06:34:26,983 --> 06:34:27,683
We register our support for

13348
06:34:27,683 --> 06:34:30,683
the preservation of the alpaca

13349
06:34:31,554 --> 06:34:32,188
camera Technology has a vital

13350
06:34:32,188 --> 06:34:32,755
tool for preserving public

13351
06:34:32,755 --> 06:34:33,322
safety and Hillcrest.

13352
06:34:33,322 --> 06:34:35,722
The troubling rise in

13353
06:34:36,326 --> 06:34:36,993
incidences we witnessed several

13354
06:34:36,993 --> 06:34:37,694
years ago including a pellet

13355
06:34:37,694 --> 06:34:40,694
gun attack and the appearance

13356
06:34:40,797 --> 06:34:41,531
of hate filled graffiti

13357
06:34:41,531 --> 06:34:42,231
throughout the neighborhood has

13358
06:34:42,231 --> 06:34:42,666
receded due to the presence of

13359
06:34:42,666 --> 06:34:44,666
these cameras.

13360
06:34:45,935 --> 06:34:46,602
This technology isn't about

13361
06:34:46,602 --> 06:34:47,303
surveillance but it's about

13362
06:34:47,303 --> 06:34:50,540
providing a sense of safety to

13363
06:34:50,540 --> 06:34:51,241
our customers and projecting

13364
06:34:51,241 --> 06:34:51,775
the message to criminals that

13365
06:34:51,775 --> 06:34:54,175
they will be caught.

13366
06:34:54,977 --> 06:34:55,611
I must also report our

13367
06:34:55,611 --> 06:34:56,346
opposition to the proposed

13368
06:34:56,346 --> 06:34:59,346
increase of police fees related

13369
06:35:00,500 --> 06:35:01,170
to special events.

13370
06:35:01,170 --> 06:35:01,584
Raising these fees is a way to

13371
06:35:01,584 --> 06:35:03,584
see your neighborhood.

13372
06:35:04,354 --> 06:35:04,654
Street fairs canceled right

13373
06:35:04,654 --> 06:35:05,388
now.

13374
06:35:05,388 --> 06:35:06,220
Police staffing represents over

13375
06:35:06,220 --> 06:35:09,220
20% of the budgets for our

13376
06:35:09,592 --> 06:35:10,226
neighborhood festivals.

13377
06:35:10,226 --> 06:35:10,894
We have already canceled

13378
06:35:10,894 --> 06:35:12,894
beloved neighborhood events

13379
06:35:14,163 --> 06:35:14,798
because these huge costs.

13380
06:35:14,798 --> 06:35:15,432
>> This is untenable.

13381
06:35:15,432 --> 06:35:18,168
Thank you for your time.

13382
06:35:18,168 --> 06:35:20,168
Thank you.

13383
06:35:23,139 --> 06:35:23,540
Annexes Carina Hellman.

13384
06:35:23,540 --> 06:35:24,107
>> Hello?

13385
06:35:24,107 --> 06:35:24,407
Can you hear me?

13386
06:35:24,407 --> 06:35:24,874
Yes.

13387
06:35:24,874 --> 06:35:26,874
Please proceed.

13388
06:35:28,345 --> 06:35:29,450
Hi, my name is Carina and I'm

13389
06:35:29,450 --> 06:35:32,450
here as a concerned citizen.

13390
06:35:33,116 --> 06:35:37,154
I urge you to cancel the Ale

13391
06:35:37,154 --> 06:35:38,121
Park Block contract.

13392
06:35:38,121 --> 06:35:38,788
It is a serious risk to our

13393
06:35:38,788 --> 06:35:41,188
privacy and civil liberties.

13394
06:35:42,392 --> 06:35:43,126
It does not require

13395
06:35:43,126 --> 06:35:45,526
establishing probable cause and

13396
06:35:46,763 --> 06:35:47,331
obtaining search warrants which

13397
06:35:47,331 --> 06:35:49,331
provide oversight and

13398
06:35:50,600 --> 06:35:51,168
accountability as required by

13399
06:35:51,168 --> 06:35:51,903
the Fourth Amendment.

13400
06:35:51,903 --> 06:35:55,471
Some folks MAY ask why should I

13401
06:35:55,471 --> 06:35:56,239
care if I have nothing to hide?

13402
06:35:56,239 --> 06:35:56,907
Because you don't get to decide

13403
06:35:56,907 --> 06:35:59,307
what suspicious looks like

13404
06:36:00,610 --> 06:36:01,344
tomorrow and mistakes happen

13405
06:36:01,344 --> 06:36:01,644
and you're the one who pays for

13406
06:36:01,644 --> 06:36:03,644
them.

13407
06:36:05,649 --> 06:36:06,316
As history has shown, when

13408
06:36:06,316 --> 06:36:06,983
governments or third parties

13409
06:36:06,983 --> 06:36:08,983
gain unchecked surveillance

13410
06:36:10,530 --> 06:36:10,787
powers their eventually used

13411
06:36:10,787 --> 06:36:11,455
against people who aren't doing

13412
06:36:11,455 --> 06:36:13,855
anything wrong until someone

13413
06:36:15,591 --> 06:36:19,191
decided they are until early in

13414
06:36:20,970 --> 06:36:20,631
2025 apps weren't used for

13415
06:36:20,631 --> 06:36:21,131
tracking immigrants.

13416
06:36:21,131 --> 06:36:23,531
But now they are.

13417
06:36:24,868 --> 06:36:25,135
Despite policies prohibiting

13418
06:36:25,135 --> 06:36:25,769
it.

13419
06:36:25,769 --> 06:36:26,336
>> History has shown that

13420
06:36:26,336 --> 06:36:28,736
powerful your time has

13421
06:36:29,673 --> 06:36:30,207
concluded at my apologies your

13422
06:36:30,207 --> 06:36:30,841
time has concluded.

13423
06:36:30,841 --> 06:36:31,308
Blaine Wagner, if you can

13424
06:36:31,308 --> 06:36:33,308
please on mute.

13425
06:36:34,811 --> 06:36:35,746
Blaine Wagner.

13426
06:36:35,746 --> 06:36:36,245
>> How am I coming through One?

13427
06:36:36,245 --> 06:36:36,713
Yeah, one minute.

13428
06:36:36,713 --> 06:36:38,713
Please proceed.

13429
06:36:38,949 --> 06:36:39,349
We can hear you.

13430
06:36:39,349 --> 06:36:40,170
>> Hello?

13431
06:36:40,170 --> 06:36:40,984
Members of the City Council.

13432
06:36:40,984 --> 06:36:44,210
My name is Blaine Wagner and I

13433
06:36:44,210 --> 06:36:44,321
live in Bunker Hill in District

13434
06:36:44,321 --> 06:36:45,870
three.

13435
06:36:45,870 --> 06:36:45,956
First off, I want to thank you

13436
06:36:45,956 --> 06:36:48,225
for listening to all of our

13437
06:36:48,225 --> 06:36:48,726
comments and dedicating your

13438
06:36:48,726 --> 06:36:49,459
time to our city.

13439
06:36:49,459 --> 06:36:50,160
I'd like to comment to urge

13440
06:36:50,160 --> 06:36:53,160
the City Council to include

13441
06:36:53,597 --> 06:36:54,298
the multimodal transportation

13442
06:36:54,298 --> 06:36:54,898
team in the budget to members

13443
06:36:54,898 --> 06:36:57,298
in their full capacity.

13444
06:36:59,200 --> 06:36:59,802
According to the city's

13445
06:36:59,802 --> 06:37:00,537
official Vision Zero data in 20

13446
06:37:00,537 --> 06:37:03,537
2454 San Diego lost their lives

13447
06:37:03,774 --> 06:37:04,441
on our safer streets while in

13448
06:37:04,441 --> 06:37:04,942
another hundred and 38 were

13449
06:37:04,942 --> 06:37:06,942
severely injured.

13450
06:37:08,445 --> 06:37:09,146
These figures are not some

13451
06:37:09,146 --> 06:37:09,580
random statistics from a far

13452
06:37:09,580 --> 06:37:10,246
far away land.

13453
06:37:10,246 --> 06:37:10,646
There are own neighbors and

13454
06:37:10,646 --> 06:37:12,646
loved ones.

13455
06:37:13,651 --> 06:37:14,351
The multimodal team is an

13456
06:37:14,351 --> 06:37:15,510
investment in directly saving

13457
06:37:15,510 --> 06:37:15,719
lives pure and simple through

13458
06:37:15,719 --> 06:37:18,119
vital work like daylighting

13459
06:37:18,989 --> 06:37:19,690
reviews and street redesigns.

13460
06:37:19,690 --> 06:37:20,123
I know we're budget sensitive

13461
06:37:20,123 --> 06:37:20,791
at the moment.

13462
06:37:20,791 --> 06:37:23,627
For this reason I recommend

13463
06:37:23,627 --> 06:37:24,261
using the flexible mra or

13464
06:37:24,261 --> 06:37:24,895
Transnet Funds consulting

13465
06:37:24,895 --> 06:37:27,295
the multimodal team during

13466
06:37:28,232 --> 06:37:28,966
routine street repaving creates

13467
06:37:28,966 --> 06:37:29,600
an incredibly cheap opportunity

13468
06:37:29,600 --> 06:37:32,600
to build safer streets and

13469
06:37:33,203 --> 06:37:33,837
completely avoids expensive

13470
06:37:33,837 --> 06:37:34,471
capital projects later and

13471
06:37:34,471 --> 06:37:34,905
saves our neighbors lives.

13472
06:37:34,905 --> 06:37:35,272
>> Thank you.

13473
06:37:35,272 --> 06:37:37,272
Thank you.

13474
06:37:38,909 --> 06:37:39,577
Next is senior Sanchez and then

13475
06:37:39,577 --> 06:37:39,910
our final speaker review at

13476
06:37:39,910 --> 06:37:41,910
Voices.

13477
06:37:50,921 --> 06:37:51,222
Sign up please unmute icons

13478
06:37:51,222 --> 06:37:51,622
again.

13479
06:37:51,622 --> 06:37:51,922
Hear me now?

13480
06:37:51,922 --> 06:37:52,389
Yes.

13481
06:37:52,389 --> 06:37:54,389
Please proceed.

13482
06:37:54,925 --> 06:37:55,893
Okay.

13483
06:37:55,893 --> 06:37:56,494
>> I do not believe that cbt

13484
06:37:56,494 --> 06:37:57,161
should be rewarded with

13485
06:37:57,161 --> 06:37:59,161
expanded surveillance powers

13486
06:37:59,764 --> 06:38:00,498
while serious questions about

13487
06:38:00,498 --> 06:38:00,998
accountability and public trust

13488
06:38:00,998 --> 06:38:02,998
remain unresolved.

13489
06:38:05,368 --> 06:38:06,200
Now as dpd Officer Brandon

13490
06:38:06,200 --> 06:38:06,637
Mcgivern is facing federal

13491
06:38:06,637 --> 06:38:08,637
child exploitation charges

13492
06:38:09,407 --> 06:38:10,107
involving multiple minors while

13493
06:38:10,107 --> 06:38:10,675
he is entitled to due process,

13494
06:38:10,675 --> 06:38:11,342
these allegations have

13495
06:38:11,342 --> 06:38:13,342
understandably shaken public

13496
06:38:14,712 --> 06:38:15,379
confidence in the Department.

13497
06:38:15,379 --> 06:38:16,460
At the same time, taxpayers

13498
06:38:16,460 --> 06:38:16,681
continue to pay for lawsuits

13499
06:38:16,681 --> 06:38:18,681
and settlements involving

13500
06:38:19,250 --> 06:38:19,917
police misconduct by officers

13501
06:38:19,917 --> 06:38:20,551
and community members raise

13502
06:38:20,551 --> 06:38:21,185
concerns about favoritism,

13503
06:38:21,185 --> 06:38:24,185
retaliation and a lack of

13504
06:38:24,722 --> 06:38:25,489
transparency.

13505
06:38:25,489 --> 06:38:26,190
And after the horrific attack

13506
06:38:26,190 --> 06:38:29,190
at the Islamic Center claimed

13507
06:38:29,493 --> 06:38:30,261
the lives of me and Abdullah

13508
06:38:30,261 --> 06:38:31,620
Mansoor as he had an idea of

13509
06:38:31,620 --> 06:38:34,465
why we should be asking whether

13510
06:38:34,465 --> 06:38:35,132
more surveillance is actually

13511
06:38:35,132 --> 06:38:35,800
preventing violence and not

13512
06:38:35,800 --> 06:38:36,367
simply collecting more data

13513
06:38:36,367 --> 06:38:38,367
after tragedy strikes.

13514
06:38:39,437 --> 06:38:40,370
For as dpd receives more

13515
06:38:40,370 --> 06:38:40,571
surveillance technology

13516
06:38:40,571 --> 06:38:41,239
the public deserves

13517
06:38:41,239 --> 06:38:43,239
accountability, transparency

13518
06:38:43,508 --> 06:38:44,241
and proof that these systems

13519
06:38:44,241 --> 06:38:44,909
are making our community safer.

13520
06:38:44,909 --> 06:38:45,309
Trust must come before more

13521
06:38:45,309 --> 06:38:47,309
power does.

13522
06:38:48,179 --> 06:38:48,646
Thank you.

13523
06:38:48,646 --> 06:38:49,313
>> Thank you.

13524
06:38:49,313 --> 06:38:52,313
Voices if you can please.

13525
06:38:53,951 --> 06:38:54,419
And you.

13526
06:38:54,419 --> 06:38:55,153
>> Hi.

13527
06:38:55,153 --> 06:38:55,853
My name is a teacher and

13528
06:38:55,853 --> 06:38:56,187
the executive director for Big

13529
06:38:56,187 --> 06:38:57,188
Voices.

13530
06:38:57,188 --> 06:38:57,888
I have been engaged in

13531
06:38:57,888 --> 06:38:58,456
the budget process in 2020 now

13532
06:38:58,456 --> 06:39:00,856
and every single time.

13533
06:39:02,325 --> 06:39:03,270
My only hope is for more people

13534
06:39:03,270 --> 06:39:06,627
to engage in the same process

13535
06:39:07,765 --> 06:39:08,433
because the conversation about

13536
06:39:08,433 --> 06:39:09,133
the budget on the one side I

13537
06:39:09,133 --> 06:39:11,602
hear the police turning people

13538
06:39:11,602 --> 06:39:12,470
out talking about public safety

13539
06:39:12,470 --> 06:39:15,470
and a very singular perspective

13540
06:39:17,275 --> 06:39:17,876
The camera and that's it.

13541
06:39:17,876 --> 06:39:18,542
But the other side of

13542
06:39:18,542 --> 06:39:21,542
the conversation you MAY not

13543
06:39:22,446 --> 06:39:23,214
hear it is and I want to state

13544
06:39:23,214 --> 06:39:24,140
it out loud is that you cannot

13545
06:39:24,140 --> 06:39:25,617
balance the budget on a single

13546
06:39:25,617 --> 06:39:26,483
day department.

13547
06:39:26,483 --> 06:39:27,850
You have to balance the budget

13548
06:39:27,850 --> 06:39:29,485
on every single services

13549
06:39:31,889 --> 06:39:32,323
department and needs of

13550
06:39:32,323 --> 06:39:32,891
the community.

13551
06:39:32,891 --> 06:39:35,291
Because you know what?

13552
06:39:36,270 --> 06:39:36,361
Camera does not send no kids to

13553
06:39:36,361 --> 06:39:37,295
college.

13554
06:39:37,295 --> 06:39:40,895
Its libraries do park keep kids

13555
06:39:41,466 --> 06:39:42,300
alive and healthy.

13556
06:39:42,300 --> 06:39:45,536
They will send it to our kids

13557
06:39:45,536 --> 06:39:46,237
colleges and our culture would

13558
06:39:46,237 --> 06:39:46,871
make all kids more imaginative

13559
06:39:46,871 --> 06:39:49,271
to become better leaders.

13560
06:39:50,575 --> 06:39:51,276
The joke about going to

13561
06:39:51,276 --> 06:39:51,976
lobbying to all of you council

13562
06:39:51,976 --> 06:39:55,576
member is that the question is

13563
06:39:56,581 --> 06:39:57,549
all we have ever done in adult

13564
06:39:57,549 --> 06:39:59,751
city I am asking your time has

13565
06:39:59,751 --> 06:40:00,518
concluded.

13566
06:40:00,518 --> 06:40:01,186
For the record this item did

13567
06:40:01,186 --> 06:40:01,886
receive 12 comments in favor

13568
06:40:01,886 --> 06:40:04,286
and 29 comments in opposition

13569
06:40:05,156 --> 06:40:05,890
Very comment form which have

13570
06:40:05,890 --> 06:40:06,523
been distributed to the Council

13571
06:40:06,523 --> 06:40:07,580
That does conclude public

13572
06:40:07,580 --> 06:40:09,580
comment on item 704.

13573
06:40:09,930 --> 06:40:09,661
Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

13574
06:40:09,661 --> 06:40:11,661
>> All right.

13575
06:40:13,498 --> 06:40:14,299
City Clerk First let's give a

13576
06:40:14,299 --> 06:40:18,499
big thank you to city Clerk and

13577
06:40:22,940 --> 06:40:23,708
all the city parks staff.

13578
06:40:23,708 --> 06:40:26,708
>> They always do an amazing

13579
06:40:28,460 --> 06:40:28,747
job juggling all the slips that

13580
06:40:28,747 --> 06:40:29,446
come in the bundling the paper

13581
06:40:29,446 --> 06:40:33,460
clips, the paper clips that go

13582
06:40:33,118 --> 06:40:35,518
sideways, the handwriting that

13583
06:40:37,356 --> 06:40:38,220
cannot be written.

13584
06:40:38,220 --> 06:40:38,757
But thank you for that.

13585
06:40:38,757 --> 06:40:39,624
Before I turn over to my

13586
06:40:39,624 --> 06:40:42,928
colleagues, I do want to thank

13587
06:40:42,928 --> 06:40:43,628
Charles and Gillian and

13588
06:40:43,628 --> 06:40:47,666
the Office of the aba for your

13589
06:40:47,666 --> 06:40:48,400
work over the past few weeks.

13590
06:40:48,400 --> 06:40:49,100
It's an extraordinary amount of

13591
06:40:49,100 --> 06:40:52,700
work processing a lot of data.

13592
06:40:53,572 --> 06:40:56,575
I do want to thank the mayor

13593
06:40:56,575 --> 06:40:57,242
for sitting through with the 45

13594
06:40:57,242 --> 06:40:57,909
chiefs for the city through

13595
06:40:57,909 --> 06:41:00,309
the various department heads

13596
06:41:00,412 --> 06:41:01,112
that are in the audience

13597
06:41:01,112 --> 06:41:01,779
listening in and will make

13598
06:41:01,779 --> 06:41:04,179
themselves available if our

13599
06:41:05,830 --> 06:41:06,118
colleagues have any questions.

13600
06:41:06,118 --> 06:41:09,988
i also want to start out by

13601
06:41:09,988 --> 06:41:10,688
recognizing Councilmember

13602
06:41:10,688 --> 06:41:14,288
Foster who has been the chair

13603
06:41:15,126 --> 06:41:15,760
of the Budget Committee,

13604
06:41:15,760 --> 06:41:16,127
chaired the Budget Review

13605
06:41:16,127 --> 06:41:18,127
Committee.

13606
06:41:19,898 --> 06:41:20,665
And as Council PRESIDENT I'm

13607
06:41:20,665 --> 06:41:21,132
going to extend the courtesy to

13608
06:41:21,132 --> 06:41:21,633
let you control

13609
06:41:21,633 --> 06:41:23,633
the conversation.

13610
06:41:25,470 --> 06:41:26,237
Obviously you will kick this

13611
06:41:26,237 --> 06:41:30,437
off and we'll see how it goes.

13612
06:41:30,576 --> 06:41:31,109
But Friday was not your last

13613
06:41:31,109 --> 06:41:33,509
day as budget chair.

13614
06:41:34,913 --> 06:41:35,646
>> We're going to keep you a

13615
06:41:35,646 --> 06:41:36,381
tight rein on you, sir, because

13616
06:41:36,381 --> 06:41:39,585
you've really done the work and

13617
06:41:39,585 --> 06:41:40,252
dug in you and your staff and

13618
06:41:40,252 --> 06:41:43,252
it is very much appreciated.

13619
06:41:44,256 --> 06:41:45,230
I will have more comments but I

13620
06:41:45,230 --> 06:41:49,270
wanted to kind of signal to my

13621
06:41:49,270 --> 06:41:49,394
colleagues about how we should

13622
06:41:49,394 --> 06:41:50,196
run this.

13623
06:41:50,196 --> 06:41:54,650
We are going to get a budget

13624
06:41:54,650 --> 06:41:54,833
adopted to day to night.

13625
06:41:54,833 --> 06:41:55,501
Let's see how we get there.

13626
06:41:55,501 --> 06:41:58,470
So with that council member

13627
06:41:58,470 --> 06:41:59,370
foster chair of our budget

13628
06:41:59,370 --> 06:41:59,404
committee kick us off.

13629
06:41:59,404 --> 06:42:01,404
Thank you.

13630
06:42:03,142 --> 06:42:03,942
Council PRESIDENT And thank you

13631
06:42:03,942 --> 06:42:06,342
to the independent budget

13632
06:42:08,647 --> 06:42:11,483
analyst and your team for all

13633
06:42:11,483 --> 06:42:12,151
the work with this fy 2027

13634
06:42:12,151 --> 06:42:15,151
budget process not just for

13635
06:42:16,155 --> 06:42:16,721
the work with the Council but

13636
06:42:16,721 --> 06:42:17,423
also for the work with

13637
06:42:17,423 --> 06:42:20,423
the public and community town

13638
06:42:21,260 --> 06:42:21,794
halls.

13639
06:42:21,794 --> 06:42:23,963
It's always good to have you

13640
06:42:23,963 --> 06:42:24,563
and your team in District four

13641
06:42:24,563 --> 06:42:27,563
so thank you for your

13642
06:42:28,434 --> 06:42:28,766
willingness to always come out

13643
06:42:28,766 --> 06:42:29,401
.

13644
06:42:29,401 --> 06:42:32,401
Also just want to thank

13645
06:42:33,372 --> 06:42:34,106
the public for your engagement

13646
06:42:34,106 --> 06:42:36,506
during this budget development

13647
06:42:38,310 --> 06:42:38,911
cycle not just for today.

13648
06:42:38,911 --> 06:42:40,911
These conversations have

13649
06:42:43,249 --> 06:42:43,949
because of the challenges that

13650
06:42:43,949 --> 06:42:44,717
we face with this budget.

13651
06:42:44,717 --> 06:42:48,317
We tried our best in working

13652
06:42:48,320 --> 06:42:48,954
with Council PRESIDENT To make

13653
06:42:48,954 --> 06:42:49,555
sure we offered additional

13654
06:42:49,555 --> 06:42:51,555
opportunities for public

13655
06:42:53,292 --> 06:42:53,826
engagement because as we are

13656
06:42:53,826 --> 06:42:54,527
trying to deal with

13657
06:42:54,527 --> 06:42:57,430
the structural deficit we just

13658
06:42:57,430 --> 06:42:58,330
want to make sure that we do

13659
06:42:58,330 --> 06:43:01,330
everything we can to understand

13660
06:43:03,136 --> 06:43:03,769
your thoughts, your needs as we

13661
06:43:03,769 --> 06:43:06,169
continue to move forward.

13662
06:43:07,673 --> 06:43:11,273
I would also like to thank

13663
06:43:12,211 --> 06:43:12,979
the mayor and city staff as I

13664
06:43:12,979 --> 06:43:13,779
said, you know, this has been

13665
06:43:13,779 --> 06:43:16,716
going this has been a long road

13666
06:43:16,716 --> 06:43:17,749
to get us here today.

13667
06:43:17,749 --> 06:43:21,253
>> First I want to start by

13668
06:43:21,253 --> 06:43:21,853
also acknowledging

13669
06:43:21,853 --> 06:43:22,521
the structural deficit.

13670
06:43:22,521 --> 06:43:25,521
And thank my colleagues for

13671
06:43:26,692 --> 06:43:27,260
the robust discussion that has

13672
06:43:27,260 --> 06:43:27,960
taken place this year.

13673
06:43:27,960 --> 06:43:30,960
As everyone is aware, we

13674
06:43:31,930 --> 06:43:34,930
started the f y 2027 budget

13675
06:43:35,501 --> 06:43:36,168
discussions with about $120

13676
06:43:36,168 --> 06:43:36,903
million structural deficit.

13677
06:43:36,903 --> 06:43:39,903
This structural deficit did not

13678
06:43:40,573 --> 06:43:41,207
begin yesterday nor is it

13679
06:43:41,207 --> 06:43:44,207
the cause of this council.

13680
06:43:45,845 --> 06:43:46,479
Rather is the cause of years of

13681
06:43:46,479 --> 06:43:48,879
mismanagement by the very

13682
06:43:50,816 --> 06:43:51,484
individuals that we see today

13683
06:43:51,484 --> 06:43:52,840
in press conferences and on

13684
06:43:52,840 --> 06:43:54,484
social media that are

13685
06:43:55,387 --> 06:43:55,788
intentionally misleading

13686
06:43:55,788 --> 06:43:57,788
the public.

13687
06:43:59,959 --> 06:44:00,693
And I must say this budget

13688
06:44:00,693 --> 06:44:03,930
cycle demands tough discussions

13689
06:44:04,797 --> 06:44:05,664
and decisions.

13690
06:44:05,664 --> 06:44:09,264
But as I have previously said,

13691
06:44:09,602 --> 06:44:10,203
even in a deficit we must not

13692
06:44:10,203 --> 06:44:12,603
lose our moral compass.

13693
06:44:13,773 --> 06:44:14,474
>> For me this is about

13694
06:44:14,474 --> 06:44:15,208
the city's priorities and what

13695
06:44:15,208 --> 06:44:18,808
the city plans to prioritize in

13696
06:44:19,110 --> 06:44:19,612
its budget.

13697
06:44:19,612 --> 06:44:22,120
And unfortunately due to

13698
06:44:23,182 --> 06:44:23,916
the deficit, city services are

13699
06:44:23,916 --> 06:44:24,650
affected which in turn directly

13700
06:44:24,650 --> 06:44:28,250
impacts the quality of life for

13701
06:44:28,721 --> 06:44:29,389
residents.

13702
06:44:29,389 --> 06:44:30,230
I represent communities that

13703
06:44:30,230 --> 06:44:32,423
for generations have been

13704
06:44:32,826 --> 06:44:33,259
overlooked in budget

13705
06:44:33,259 --> 06:44:33,893
conversations.

13706
06:44:33,893 --> 06:44:36,293
These are working families

13707
06:44:37,897 --> 06:44:38,398
primarily people of color who

13708
06:44:38,398 --> 06:44:39,320
have long endured

13709
06:44:39,320 --> 06:44:41,320
disinvestment, inadequate

13710
06:44:42,902 --> 06:44:43,470
infrastructure and lack of

13711
06:44:43,470 --> 06:44:45,470
access to opportunity.

13712
06:44:47,740 --> 06:44:48,807
Let me be very clear.

13713
06:44:48,807 --> 06:44:52,278
Equity has to continue to be

13714
06:44:52,278 --> 06:44:53,245
the path forward.

13715
06:44:53,245 --> 06:44:56,845
>> And as we continue to move

13716
06:44:57,116 --> 06:44:57,817
away from across the board cuts

13717
06:44:57,817 --> 06:44:58,251
,it will be more

13718
06:44:58,251 --> 06:45:00,251
uncomfortable.

13719
06:45:02,287 --> 06:45:02,888
Change is not easy.

13720
06:45:02,888 --> 06:45:05,288
But change we must.

13721
06:45:07,460 --> 06:45:07,827
This proposal budget has made

13722
06:45:07,827 --> 06:45:09,827
progress.

13723
06:45:11,930 --> 06:45:12,632
When we look at equity we are

13724
06:45:12,632 --> 06:45:15,632
investing in community and our

13725
06:45:17,700 --> 06:45:17,704
youth essential for safety,

13726
06:45:17,704 --> 06:45:19,704
workforce development and

13727
06:45:21,908 --> 06:45:22,676
community well-being.

13728
06:45:22,676 --> 06:45:25,676
We are restoring library parks

13729
06:45:26,546 --> 06:45:27,146
and recreation.

13730
06:45:27,146 --> 06:45:27,814
Prioritizing services in

13731
06:45:27,814 --> 06:45:29,814
under-resourced communities

13732
06:45:30,684 --> 06:45:31,484
where these services are

13733
06:45:31,484 --> 06:45:31,918
critical to the success of our

13734
06:45:31,918 --> 06:45:33,918
neighborhoods.

13735
06:45:36,560 --> 06:45:36,623
We are investing in

13736
06:45:36,623 --> 06:45:37,289
infrastructure in our

13737
06:45:37,289 --> 06:45:39,289
under-resourced communities.

13738
06:45:41,494 --> 06:45:41,828
We must hold the line and go

13739
06:45:41,828 --> 06:45:43,828
further.

13740
06:45:45,766 --> 06:45:46,433
A city where equity drives

13741
06:45:46,433 --> 06:45:48,833
investment decisions must be

13742
06:45:51,400 --> 06:45:51,705
our standard, not a sound bite.

13743
06:45:51,705 --> 06:45:52,339
As we move forward the city

13744
06:45:52,339 --> 06:45:54,739
must continue to address

13745
06:45:55,274 --> 06:45:55,909
the structural deficit.

13746
06:45:55,909 --> 06:45:56,543
And the city must improve

13747
06:45:56,543 --> 06:45:58,543
Regarding transparency and

13748
06:46:00,347 --> 06:46:01,114
accountability.

13749
06:46:01,114 --> 06:46:04,114
We must improve public trust.

13750
06:46:05,919 --> 06:46:06,653
There is still much to do and I

13751
06:46:06,653 --> 06:46:09,653
look forward to the discussions

13752
06:46:10,390 --> 06:46:11,580
to come as we work to make San

13753
06:46:11,580 --> 06:46:14,560
Diego the best it can be and

13754
06:46:14,560 --> 06:46:18,160
meet the call of all residents

13755
06:46:18,265 --> 06:46:19,131
to the residents of District

13756
06:46:19,131 --> 06:46:23,331
four And I spend my days with

13757
06:46:23,369 --> 06:46:26,369
one question on my heart.

13758
06:46:26,773 --> 06:46:27,207
What is in the best interest of

13759
06:46:27,207 --> 06:46:27,874
District four?

13760
06:46:27,874 --> 06:46:28,542
And I stand committed to

13761
06:46:28,542 --> 06:46:30,942
ensuring that District four

13762
06:46:32,146 --> 06:46:32,512
receives investment that it

13763
06:46:32,512 --> 06:46:33,113
deserves.

13764
06:46:33,113 --> 06:46:35,150
And so with that Council

13765
06:46:35,150 --> 06:46:38,150
PRESIDENT I offer the following

13766
06:46:40,486 --> 06:46:44,860
motion MADAM Clerk, if we can

13767
06:46:49,530 --> 06:46:49,832
pull up the slide deck Next

13768
06:46:49,832 --> 06:46:51,832

Next slide.

13770
06:46:58,380 --> 06:47:01,607
So with that item number one I

13771
06:47:01,607 --> 06:47:02,276
move that we approve

13772
06:47:02,276 --> 06:47:04,676

06:47:06,747 --> 06:47:07,381

13795
06:47:56,997 --> 06:47:57,731
clarification if I can ask

13796
06:47:57,731 --> 06:47:58,399
the City Attorney's office do I

13797
06:47:58,399 --> 06:48:01,602

is referencing the tables?

13800
06:48:05,572 --> 06:48:08,572
Does that mean that satisfy

13801
06:48:10,578 --> 06:48:11,512

13802
06:48:11,512 --> 06:48:15,112

13804
06:48:16,550 --> 06:48:16,850

06:48:16,850 --> 06:48:17,418
Okay.

contract I have very specific

13926
06:52:46,789 --> 06:52:47,489
concerns and ethical issues

13927
06:52:47,489 --> 06:52:50,489
regarding on how that contract

13928
06:52:50,960 --> 06:52:52,930
was awarded.

13929
06:52:52,930 --> 06:52:55,998
As we know it was a sole source

13930
06:52:55,998 --> 06:52:56,666
negotiated contract and

13931
06:52:56,666 --> 06:52:57,266
the current and the officer

13932
06:52:57,266 --> 06:52:59,666
that was responsible for

13933
06:53:01,700 --> 06:53:01,536
negotiating that contract is

13934
06:53:01,536 --> 06:53:02,370
now employed by

13935
06:53:02,370 --> 06:53:04,370
the manufacturer.

13936
06:53:05,941 --> 06:53:08,941
We have already had data

13937
06:53:10,546 --> 06:53:11,446
breaches within our own system

13938
06:53:11,446 --> 06:53:14,446
and as stated during public

13939
06:53:14,849 --> 06:53:15,518
comment almost 70 cities have

13940
06:53:15,518 --> 06:53:17,918
either rejected or canceled

13941
06:53:19,322 --> 06:53:21,322
the flight contracts.

13942
06:53:23,358 --> 06:53:23,993
Moving to item number nine

13943
06:53:23,993 --> 06:53:24,727

06:53:38,607 --> 06:53:41,700
million from the Neighborhood

13951
06:53:42,778 --> 06:53:43,346

Commission.

13956
06:53:48,351 --> 06:53:51,351
And with that that concludes

13957
06:53:52,321 --> 06:53:52,688
the motion to approve the f y

13958
06:53:52,688 --> 06:53:54,688
27 budget.

13959
06:53:56,759 --> 06:53:57,426
Council PRESIDENT You stepped

13960
06:53:57,426 --> 06:54:00,426
up and delivered my friend.

13961
06:54:01,230 --> 06:54:01,630
Well done.

13962
06:54:01,630 --> 06:54:02,498
All right.

13963
06:54:02,498 --> 06:54:06,168
So we have a motion by Council

13964
06:54:06,168 --> 06:54:06,802
member Foster as hard copy that

13965
06:54:06,802 --> 06:54:07,470
was distributed and was on

13966
06:54:07,470 --> 06:54:10,470
the screen briefly We'll go

13967
06:54:11,640 --> 06:54:12,275
next to Council PRESIDENT Pro

13968
06:54:12,275 --> 06:54:12,976
Tem Lee Thank you Council

13969
06:54:12,976 --> 06:54:15,976
PRESIDENT And thank you to

13970
06:54:16,479 --> 06:54:17,180
the public for your patience

13971
06:54:17,180 --> 06:54:20,780
and feedback not just as we

13972
06:54:20,949 --> 06:54:21,651
finalize the budget today but

13973
06:54:21,651 --> 06:54:21,985
throughout the months of this

13974
06:54:21,985 --> 06:54:22,651
process.

13975
06:54:22,651 --> 06:54:23,386
I want to thank Chair Foster

13976
06:54:23,386 --> 06:54:25,955
for his leadership through this

13977
06:54:25,955 --> 06:54:26,489
process as well as walking

13978
06:54:26,489 --> 06:54:27,323
through this motion.

13979
06:54:27,323 --> 06:54:31,523
I'm going to take a quick aside

13980
06:54:31,861 --> 06:54:32,562
to recognize our six interns

13981
06:54:32,562 --> 06:54:35,465
Saba, Natalie, Paulo and Jacob

13982
06:54:35,465 --> 06:54:35,832
who are back here of all

13983
06:54:35,832 --> 06:54:36,531
meetings.

13984
06:54:36,531 --> 06:54:37,200
They chose this meeting to be

13985
06:54:37,200 --> 06:54:37,567
their first meeting to be in

13986
06:54:37,567 --> 06:54:38,268
chambers.

13987
06:54:38,268 --> 06:54:41,268
Thank you for making that

13988
06:54:43,273 --> 06:54:43,940
choice.

13989
06:54:43,940 --> 06:54:44,707
>> Thank you for the ipa.

13990
06:54:44,707 --> 06:54:48,307
We cannot accomplish what we do

13991
06:54:48,311 --> 06:54:48,912
without their work But I want

13992
06:54:48,912 --> 06:54:49,446
to note especially that

13993
06:54:49,446 --> 06:54:51,446
the public benefits

13994
06:54:52,315 --> 06:54:53,820
tremendously from their ability

13995
06:54:53,820 --> 06:54:53,749
to provide greater transparency

13996
06:54:53,749 --> 06:54:56,149
and clarity in understanding

13997
06:54:57,153 --> 06:54:57,821
every step of this budget

13998
06:54:57,821 --> 06:54:58,454
debate took all of our

13999
06:54:58,454 --> 06:54:59,189
priorities and ultimately

14000
06:54:59,189 --> 06:55:02,189
recommended a series of actions

14001
06:55:02,626 --> 06:55:03,326
that matches with many of those

14002
06:55:03,326 --> 06:55:04,270
priorities including restoring

14003
06:55:04,270 --> 06:55:06,427
funding for community programs

14004
06:55:07,764 --> 06:55:08,365
and projects the Office of

14005
06:55:08,365 --> 06:55:09,320
Child and Youth Success,

14006
06:55:09,320 --> 06:55:09,399
the film program manager and

14007
06:55:09,399 --> 06:55:11,399
much more.

14008
06:55:12,636 --> 06:55:13,303
I want to especially note my

14009
06:55:13,303 --> 06:55:14,300
frustration that with every

14010
06:55:14,300 --> 06:55:14,637
budget year we see attempts to

14011
06:55:14,637 --> 06:55:17,637
cut funding for the city's

14012
06:55:17,741 --> 06:55:18,374
critical oversight offices such

14013
06:55:18,374 --> 06:55:18,708
as the Office of the City

14014
06:55:18,708 --> 06:55:20,708
Auditor.

14015
06:55:22,512 --> 06:55:23,279
Thank you for restoring that

14016
06:55:23,279 --> 06:55:24,800
and I certainly believe it is

14017
06:55:24,800 --> 06:55:24,848
time that we now take action to

14018
06:55:24,848 --> 06:55:27,517
prevent this annual back and

14019
06:55:27,517 --> 06:55:27,850
forth with our auditor moving

14020
06:55:27,850 --> 06:55:28,485
forward.

14021
06:55:28,485 --> 06:55:32,850
We often talk about how a

14022
06:55:32,388 --> 06:55:33,560
budget is a statement of our

14023
06:55:33,560 --> 06:55:33,790
values not just as ambiguous

14024
06:55:33,790 --> 06:55:36,492
beliefs, not even just the KPIs

14025
06:55:36,492 --> 06:55:37,193
or goals we work to achieve

14026
06:55:37,193 --> 06:55:40,193
year over year but perhaps

14027
06:55:41,640 --> 06:55:41,931
literally what do we value?

14028
06:55:41,931 --> 06:55:42,632
And from the very start of our

14029
06:55:42,632 --> 06:55:45,632
budget hearings I have stated

14030
06:55:46,303 --> 06:55:47,360
that it's not enough to simply

14031
06:55:47,360 --> 06:55:50,360
balance our budget fiscally but

14032
06:55:50,208 --> 06:55:50,873
to actually deliver a balance

14033
06:55:50,873 --> 06:55:51,608
that meets the needs of

14034
06:55:51,608 --> 06:55:52,420
residents throughout every part

14035
06:55:52,420 --> 06:55:54,420
of San Diego.

14036
06:55:55,745 --> 06:55:56,446
To me a balanced city means

14037
06:55:56,446 --> 06:55:57,180
that we value the significance

14038
06:55:57,180 --> 06:56:00,180
of our libraries and recreation

14039
06:56:00,917 --> 06:56:01,618
centers for the critical role

14040
06:56:01,618 --> 06:56:01,952
they play especially for young

14041
06:56:01,952 --> 06:56:03,952
people.

14042
06:56:05,422 --> 06:56:06,560
This motion provides a full

14043
06:56:06,560 --> 06:56:06,757
restoration of library and

14044
06:56:06,757 --> 06:56:09,157
recreation center hours across

14045
06:56:09,893 --> 06:56:10,827
the city.

14046
06:56:10,827 --> 06:56:13,827
We value our artistic and

14047
06:56:14,231 --> 06:56:14,831
cultural economy One that we've

14048
06:56:14,831 --> 06:56:15,531
studied provides over $1

14049
06:56:15,531 --> 06:56:18,531
billion of economic impact but

14050
06:56:19,236 --> 06:56:19,936
which also impacts are very

14051
06:56:19,936 --> 06:56:20,771
livelihoods and what it means

14052
06:56:20,771 --> 06:56:23,707
to be a San Diego And I'm proud

14053
06:56:23,707 --> 06:56:24,408
to have collaborated with

14054
06:56:24,408 --> 06:56:25,420
Budget Chair Foster as we held

14055
06:56:25,420 --> 06:56:27,420
numerous discussions with

14056
06:56:28,779 --> 06:56:29,446
stakeholders throughout our

14057
06:56:29,446 --> 06:56:30,470
arts and culture community,

14058
06:56:30,470 --> 06:56:32,447
the tourism industry and

14059
06:56:33,483 --> 06:56:34,840
philanthropic partners to not

14060
06:56:34,840 --> 06:56:34,751
only seek restoration of

14061
06:56:34,751 --> 06:56:35,451
funding for this year but to

14062
06:56:35,451 --> 06:56:38,451
begin the broader regional and

14063
06:56:38,488 --> 06:56:39,220
collaborative discussions about

14064
06:56:39,220 --> 06:56:39,823
how we move forward.

14065
06:56:39,823 --> 06:56:44,230
I want to take this moment to

14066
06:56:44,194 --> 06:56:44,928
thank our county supervisors

14067
06:56:44,928 --> 06:56:45,596
Chair Larson Riemer, Vice Chair

14068
06:56:45,596 --> 06:56:46,196
Montgomery Step and Pro Tem

14069
06:56:46,196 --> 06:56:48,596
Aguirre for their recent

14070
06:56:49,990 --> 06:56:49,799
support of arts and culture not

14071
06:56:49,799 --> 06:56:53,270
in place of the city's efforts

14072
06:56:53,270 --> 06:56:53,904
but as an addition to what we

14073
06:56:53,904 --> 06:56:54,238
envision is needed for our

14074
06:56:54,238 --> 06:56:56,238
region.

14075
06:56:57,941 --> 06:56:58,642
Thank you to the previous

14076
06:56:58,642 --> 06:56:59,408
foundation who stepped up at

14077
06:56:59,408 --> 06:57:02,179
this critical moment with a

14078
06:57:02,179 --> 06:57:02,880
matching commitment of $3

14079
06:57:02,880 --> 06:57:05,880
million Again not to backfill

14080
06:57:07,170 --> 06:57:07,718
the city but to show that they

14081
06:57:07,718 --> 06:57:08,419
can collaborate with the city,

14082
06:57:08,419 --> 06:57:11,540
the county and the entire arts

14083
06:57:11,540 --> 06:57:11,689
and culture community to

14084
06:57:11,689 --> 06:57:12,389
explore a new path forward

14085
06:57:12,389 --> 06:57:14,789
Together with this proposal's

14086
06:57:16,560 --> 06:57:19,560
restoration of kps and aco

14087
06:57:19,963 --> 06:57:20,531
funding we restore over $10.3

14088
06:57:20,531 --> 06:57:20,930
million back into our

14089
06:57:20,930 --> 06:57:22,930
communities.

14090
06:57:25,402 --> 06:57:28,402
Finally, we absolutely do value

14091
06:57:29,940 --> 06:57:30,708
public safety in this city in

14092
06:57:30,708 --> 06:57:31,374
fact, I'm sure many members of

14093
06:57:31,374 --> 06:57:32,109
the public would be happy to

14094
06:57:32,109 --> 06:57:35,312
point out that our budget seems

14095
06:57:35,312 --> 06:57:36,147
to value it heavily.

14096
06:57:36,147 --> 06:57:36,847
But I would also note that we

14097
06:57:36,847 --> 06:57:39,847
don't just value public safety

14098
06:57:40,450 --> 06:57:41,570
in the form of our police

14099
06:57:41,570 --> 06:57:41,718
department which does do

14100
06:57:41,718 --> 06:57:44,118
essential and critical work

14101
06:57:44,755 --> 06:57:45,156
that keeps all of us safe on a

14102
06:57:45,156 --> 06:57:46,230
daily basis.

14103
06:57:46,230 --> 06:57:49,623
This motion shows that we value

14104
06:57:50,930 --> 06:57:50,794
the safety that is achieved

14105
06:57:50,794 --> 06:57:54,165
through a variety of our core

14106
06:57:54,165 --> 06:57:54,866
services libraries that teach

14107
06:57:54,866 --> 06:57:55,532
and provide safe spaces rec

14108
06:57:55,532 --> 06:57:58,532
centers that keep youth and

14109
06:57:59,336 --> 06:58:00,370
families active stormwater

14110
06:58:00,370 --> 06:58:00,704
channel maintenance needs that

14111
06:58:00,704 --> 06:58:03,704
are recommended by our fire

14112
06:58:04,375 --> 06:58:05,760
chief ahead of future storms.

14113
06:58:05,760 --> 06:58:05,676
And finally funding to support

14114
06:58:05,676 --> 06:58:07,676
Lifeguard Wellness Fire

14115
06:58:09,460 --> 06:58:09,747
Department outreach needs and

14116
06:58:09,747 --> 06:58:12,147
police department positions to

14117
06:58:13,417 --> 06:58:14,318
address sex crimes and graffiti

14118
06:58:14,318 --> 06:58:18,455
All of these I consider to be

14119
06:58:18,455 --> 06:58:19,323
part of public safety as well.

14120
06:58:19,323 --> 06:58:19,991
This council has had plenty of

14121
06:58:19,991 --> 06:58:20,658
difficult discussions about

14122
06:58:20,658 --> 06:58:23,658
the use of automated license

14123
06:58:23,928 --> 06:58:24,629
plate readers and as a

14124
06:58:24,629 --> 06:58:27,290
councilmember I have supported

14125
06:58:28,766 --> 06:58:29,500
the use of lpr technology and

14126
06:58:29,500 --> 06:58:30,333
believe that it can support our

14127
06:58:30,333 --> 06:58:33,471
effort when it comes to solving

14128
06:58:33,471 --> 06:58:34,238
crimes.

14129
06:58:34,238 --> 06:58:34,839
Even in doing so I've also

14130
06:58:34,839 --> 06:58:37,239
fought to tighten our

14131
06:58:38,342 --> 06:58:39,110
regulatory regulations around

14132
06:58:39,110 --> 06:58:39,809
its use and to ask that we

14133
06:58:39,809 --> 06:58:42,209
identify new potential vendor

14134
06:58:42,547 --> 06:58:43,314
options.

14135
06:58:43,314 --> 06:58:44,480
If this were a year where

14136
06:58:44,480 --> 06:58:47,480
resources were abundant I would

14137
06:58:47,118 --> 06:58:47,618
choose to fund every one of

14138
06:58:47,618 --> 06:58:48,251
these priorities.

14139
06:58:48,251 --> 06:58:51,251
But that's not this year.

14140
06:58:52,890 --> 06:58:52,757
This is a year when the city

14141
06:58:52,757 --> 06:58:55,157
faces difficult choices and

14142
06:58:55,426 --> 06:58:56,127
we're being asked to choose

14143
06:58:56,127 --> 06:58:59,727
what comes first and when that

14144
06:58:59,797 --> 06:59:00,531
choice is between the use of

14145
06:59:00,531 --> 06:59:02,931
lpr technology versus restoring

14146
06:59:04,268 --> 06:59:04,936
libraries and rec center hours

14147
06:59:04,936 --> 06:59:05,603
funding storm water channel

14148
06:59:05,603 --> 06:59:08,603
clearance that the city has

14149
06:59:09,874 --> 06:59:10,675
frankly neglected for decades

14150
06:59:10,675 --> 06:59:14,275
and that our fire chief again

14151
06:59:17,438 --> 06:59:17,589
has explicitly identified as a

14152
06:59:17,589 --> 06:59:17,798
public safety priority or even

14153
06:59:17,798 --> 06:59:17,949
funding actual police officers

14154
06:59:17,949 --> 06:59:19,917
and other public safety

14155
06:59:19,917 --> 06:59:20,317
personnel doing work in our

14156
06:59:20,317 --> 06:59:22,317
communities.

14157
06:59:24,455 --> 06:59:25,223
>> To me that choice is clear.

14158
06:59:25,223 --> 06:59:25,890
>> Take the three minutes.

14159
06:59:25,890 --> 06:59:28,890
These are the core services

14160
06:59:29,593 --> 06:59:30,261
this city must deliver and I am

14161
06:59:30,261 --> 06:59:32,661
willing to redirect funding

14162
06:59:33,965 --> 06:59:34,466
from our technology to make all

14163
06:59:34,466 --> 06:59:35,133
of that possible.

14164
06:59:35,133 --> 06:59:38,637
Let me close that by noting

14165
06:59:38,637 --> 06:59:39,337
that each of these last few

14166
06:59:39,337 --> 06:59:42,337
years this mayor has proposed

14167
06:59:43,373 --> 06:59:44,750
each budget cycle to cut

14168
06:59:44,750 --> 06:59:44,709
libraries, to cut rec centers

14169
06:59:44,709 --> 06:59:47,709
and this year to decimate

14170
06:59:48,446 --> 06:59:49,800
the city's commitment to public

14171
06:59:49,800 --> 06:59:49,813
arts and culture support.

14172
06:59:49,813 --> 06:59:53,413
Each year this Council steps in

14173
06:59:53,418 --> 06:59:54,180
to explore every possible

14174
06:59:54,180 --> 06:59:54,719
avenue to restore these

14175
06:59:54,719 --> 06:59:56,719
critical facilities, programs

14176
06:59:57,889 --> 06:59:58,656
and services.

14177
06:59:58,656 --> 06:59:59,557
What is frustrated many of us

14178
06:59:59,557 --> 07:00:03,270
is not simply that we're facing

14179
07:00:03,270 --> 07:00:03,828
fiscal challenges.

14180
07:00:03,828 --> 07:00:06,828
Many major cities are facing

14181
07:00:07,866 --> 07:00:08,633
fiscal challenges.

14182
07:00:08,633 --> 07:00:09,367
What is frustrated us is being

14183
07:00:09,367 --> 07:00:12,367
repeatedly told that these cuts

14184
07:00:13,104 --> 07:00:13,804
are inevitable only to discover

14185
07:00:13,804 --> 07:00:16,204
that alternatives existed And

14186
07:00:17,843 --> 07:00:18,743
this council with the ipa was

14187
07:00:18,743 --> 07:00:22,470
left to do the work of finding

14188
07:00:22,470 --> 07:00:22,914
them.

14189
07:00:22,914 --> 07:00:26,985
We and the public we want to

14190
07:00:26,985 --> 07:00:27,786
believe We want to know that

14191
07:00:27,786 --> 07:00:28,519
even if a budget proposal does

14192
07:00:28,519 --> 07:00:31,519
not protect everything we care

14193
07:00:32,490 --> 07:00:36,561
about that we will and that we

14194
07:00:36,561 --> 07:00:37,262
are doing everything we

14195
07:00:37,262 --> 07:00:40,262
possibly can to protect those

14196
07:00:41,199 --> 07:00:41,967
things we claim to value.

14197
07:00:41,967 --> 07:00:42,567
So today I believe this motion

14198
07:00:42,567 --> 07:00:44,567
reflects exactly that

14199
07:00:46,710 --> 07:00:46,838
commitment.

14200
07:00:46,838 --> 07:00:47,539
It demonstrates that even in a

14201
07:00:47,539 --> 07:00:50,175
difficult year we are willing

14202
07:00:50,175 --> 07:00:50,876
to fight for libraries,

14203
07:00:50,876 --> 07:00:53,276
recreation centers, arts and

14204
07:00:55,280 --> 07:00:56,140
cultural programs and

14205
07:00:56,140 --> 07:00:56,648
the public safety services that

14206
07:00:56,648 --> 07:00:59,648
San Diego fans value most.

14207
07:01:00,352 --> 07:01:00,752
And with that I proudly second

14208
07:01:00,752 --> 07:01:01,119
this motion.

14209
07:01:01,119 --> 07:01:01,486
All right.

14210
07:01:01,486 --> 07:01:03,486
Thank you.

14211
07:01:04,689 --> 07:01:05,756
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tom Lee.

14212
07:01:05,756 --> 07:01:08,126
So we have a motion by Council

14213
07:01:08,126 --> 07:01:08,826
member Foster a second by

14214
07:01:08,826 --> 07:01:11,826
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

14215
07:01:13,532 --> 07:01:14,199
as distributed by our Budget

14216
07:01:14,199 --> 07:01:14,932
Chair Council member Foster.

14217
07:01:14,932 --> 07:01:18,532
We'll go next to council member

14218
07:01:18,570 --> 07:01:19,237
Eli Rivera.

14219
07:01:19,237 --> 07:01:19,905
Thank you Council PRESIDENT

14220
07:01:19,905 --> 07:01:23,505
Charles Thank you to you and

14221
07:01:23,708 --> 07:01:24,376
your team for all the work you

14222
07:01:24,376 --> 07:01:25,176
did throughout this process.

14223
07:01:25,176 --> 07:01:28,280
Thank you to the mayor and your

14224
07:01:28,280 --> 07:01:28,713
team for engaging in

14225
07:01:28,713 --> 07:01:30,248
conversation.

14226
07:01:30,248 --> 07:01:33,248
Chair Foster thank you for

14227
07:01:35,621 --> 07:01:36,321
everything you've done since

14228
07:01:36,321 --> 07:01:36,888
the beginning of this process

14229
07:01:36,888 --> 07:01:38,888
I've been consistently

14230
07:01:40,192 --> 07:01:40,892
emphasizing that these

14231
07:01:40,892 --> 07:01:41,560
conversations about the budget

14232
07:01:41,560 --> 07:01:42,260
must begin with a vision for

14233
07:01:42,260 --> 07:01:45,297
the city that we're trying to

14234
07:01:45,297 --> 07:01:46,640
build.

14235
07:01:46,640 --> 07:01:46,665
I've also tried to be clear

14236
07:01:46,665 --> 07:01:47,432
that I'm willing to make

14237
07:01:47,432 --> 07:01:50,432
difficult choices if it means

14238
07:01:50,769 --> 07:01:51,469
moving us toward a San Diego

14239
07:01:51,469 --> 07:01:53,869
that prioritizes San Diegans,

14240
07:01:54,473 --> 07:01:55,240
our working families, our young

14241
07:01:55,240 --> 07:01:55,974
professionals, our youth not

14242
07:01:55,974 --> 07:01:56,542
the wealthy interests that have

14243
07:01:56,542 --> 07:01:58,942
too often dictated our

14244
07:01:59,378 --> 07:02:00,450
priorities.

14245
07:02:00,450 --> 07:02:00,712
The decision today is an

14246
07:02:00,712 --> 07:02:01,446
opportunity to act on the on

14247
07:02:01,446 --> 07:02:04,683
the values we spent this budget

14248
07:02:04,683 --> 07:02:05,416
season talking about.

14249
07:02:05,416 --> 07:02:06,500
I want to thank Council

14250
07:02:06,500 --> 07:02:09,500
President Pro Tem Lee and

14251
07:02:09,540 --> 07:02:09,688
Budget Chair Foster for acting

14252
07:02:09,688 --> 07:02:10,221
on their values and doing

14253
07:02:10,221 --> 07:02:12,621
the work to identify

14254
07:02:14,193 --> 07:02:14,793
responsible resources to

14255
07:02:14,793 --> 07:02:15,260
largely restore arts and

14256
07:02:15,260 --> 07:02:15,961
culture funding.

14257
07:02:15,961 --> 07:02:18,563
Thank you for rolling up your

14258
07:02:18,563 --> 07:02:19,298
sleeves and doing that.

14259
07:02:19,298 --> 07:02:19,898
I'm also glad the Mayor's

14260
07:02:19,898 --> 07:02:22,298
office and Department of

14261
07:02:23,736 --> 07:02:24,436
Finance and ipa worked with us

14262
07:02:24,436 --> 07:02:25,204
to revise the budget in such a

14263
07:02:25,204 --> 07:02:28,804
way that included the choice to

14264
07:02:29,800 --> 07:02:29,741
modernize our use of accessible

14265
07:02:29,741 --> 07:02:30,342
funds to maintain operations at

14266
07:02:30,342 --> 07:02:32,742
libraries, parks and rec

14267
07:02:33,745 --> 07:02:34,246
centers in districts four,

14268
07:02:34,246 --> 07:02:34,880
eight and nine.

14269
07:02:34,880 --> 07:02:35,547
Every dollar that we spend

14270
07:02:35,547 --> 07:02:38,547
reflects a choice about what

14271
07:02:38,717 --> 07:02:39,552
matters most to us.

14272
07:02:39,552 --> 07:02:40,286
What matters most to me is that

14273
07:02:40,286 --> 07:02:43,880
the people in our community can

14274
07:02:43,880 --> 07:02:43,889
see a future for themselves and

14275
07:02:43,889 --> 07:02:44,656
feel that we believe in them

14276
07:02:44,656 --> 07:02:47,656
and love them especially our

14277
07:02:48,360 --> 07:02:48,927
youth.

14278
07:02:48,927 --> 07:02:49,562
That commitment raises

14279
07:02:49,562 --> 07:02:50,196
questions that I think are

14280
07:02:50,196 --> 07:02:50,663
worth asking out loud and

14281
07:02:50,663 --> 07:02:52,663
wrestling with.

14282
07:02:53,499 --> 07:02:54,132
Do we want to support arts and

14283
07:02:54,132 --> 07:02:54,867
culture organizations that

14284
07:02:54,867 --> 07:02:57,836
enrich our communities and make

14285
07:02:57,836 --> 07:02:58,270
self-expression accessible to

14286
07:02:58,270 --> 07:02:59,104
all San Diego?

14287
07:02:59,104 --> 07:02:59,905
Or do we want to use public

14288
07:02:59,905 --> 07:03:02,841
dollars to subsidize a single

14289
07:03:02,841 --> 07:03:04,841
billionaire owned enterprise?

14290
07:03:06,512 --> 07:03:07,279
Do we want to spend scarce

14291
07:03:07,279 --> 07:03:07,847
resources on a 24 seven ai

14292
07:03:07,847 --> 07:03:09,847
powered surveillance?

14293
07:03:11,483 --> 07:03:12,151
Or do we want to use those

14294
07:03:12,151 --> 07:03:12,784
dollars to keep parks open,

14295
07:03:12,784 --> 07:03:13,486
restored library hours and

14296
07:03:13,486 --> 07:03:15,886
create opportunities for young

14297
07:03:17,550 --> 07:03:17,522
people, families and seniors in

14298
07:03:17,522 --> 07:03:18,324
our rec centers?

14299
07:03:18,324 --> 07:03:21,324
One point on the surveillance

14300
07:03:21,894 --> 07:03:22,628
question We've heard from San

14301
07:03:22,628 --> 07:03:25,731
Diegans for years now about why

14302
07:03:25,731 --> 07:03:26,365
so many in our community

14303
07:03:26,365 --> 07:03:26,865
distrust this technology.

14304
07:03:26,865 --> 07:03:27,566
The data breaches

14305
07:03:27,566 --> 07:03:29,566
the inappropriate relationship

14306
07:03:30,636 --> 07:03:31,303
between the officer who

14307
07:03:31,303 --> 07:03:32,400
champion the technology and

14308
07:03:32,400 --> 07:03:32,439
the company who makes millions

14309
07:03:32,439 --> 07:03:34,439
for our city.

14310
07:03:35,374 --> 07:03:36,420
The untrustworthiness of

14311
07:03:36,420 --> 07:03:36,342
the corporation we contract

14312
07:03:36,342 --> 07:03:36,943
with.

14313
07:03:36,943 --> 07:03:37,610
The posture of a fascist

14314
07:03:37,610 --> 07:03:40,100
federal government that has

14315
07:03:40,579 --> 07:03:41,280
shown it will use any tool

14316
07:03:41,280 --> 07:03:41,847
available to use it to use

14317
07:03:41,847 --> 07:03:43,847
against immigrants and

14318
07:03:45,353 --> 07:03:46,218
dissenters.

14319
07:03:46,218 --> 07:03:46,819
And we just learned about one

14320
07:03:46,819 --> 07:03:47,152
more reason for serious

14321
07:03:47,152 --> 07:03:49,152
concern.

14322
07:03:50,756 --> 07:03:51,390
And that's the false sense of

14323
07:03:51,390 --> 07:03:52,900
confidence this technology

14324
07:03:52,900 --> 07:03:52,358
creates and what that can cost

14325
07:03:52,358 --> 07:03:54,358
us.

14326
07:03:56,270 --> 07:03:56,696
That false confidence led to

14327
07:03:56,696 --> 07:03:57,363
the wrongful jailing of two

14328
07:03:57,363 --> 07:03:58,630
innocent people in our city.

14329
07:03:58,630 --> 07:04:00,332
One of them spent over a month

14330
07:04:00,332 --> 07:04:01,000
behind bars missing

14331
07:04:01,000 --> 07:04:01,667
Thanksgiving with his family

14332
07:04:01,667 --> 07:04:04,667
for something he didn't do.

14333
07:04:05,838 --> 07:04:06,406
The legal cost to the city will

14334
07:04:06,406 --> 07:04:07,106
likely be significant.

14335
07:04:07,106 --> 07:04:10,106
But more importantly the cost

14336
07:04:10,243 --> 07:04:10,977
to him his family and

14337
07:04:10,977 --> 07:04:14,577
the distress shown by those who

14338
07:04:14,881 --> 07:04:15,214
know the story cannot be undone

14339
07:04:15,214 --> 07:04:15,948
.

14340
07:04:15,948 --> 07:04:16,682
And there are the other moments

14341
07:04:16,682 --> 07:04:17,417
that are much more difficult to

14342
07:04:17,417 --> 07:04:20,860
count when officers wait for an

14343
07:04:20,860 --> 07:04:20,753
lpr to ping.

14344
07:04:20,753 --> 07:04:21,530
While action could have been

14345
07:04:21,530 --> 07:04:21,554
taken.

14346
07:04:21,554 --> 07:04:23,554
That's not safety.

14347
07:04:25,240 --> 07:04:25,491
That's technology getting in

14348
07:04:25,491 --> 07:04:26,930
the way of work.

14349
07:04:26,930 --> 07:04:28,930
It's irresponsible and

14350
07:04:30,620 --> 07:04:30,729
unnecessary to spend nearly $2

14351
07:04:30,729 --> 07:04:31,432
million on a system that has

14352
07:04:31,432 --> 07:04:34,267
produced this outcome while we

14353
07:04:34,267 --> 07:04:34,868
are telling kids their library

14354
07:04:34,868 --> 07:04:35,535
hours are being cut.

14355
07:04:35,535 --> 07:04:36,269
I support the motion made by

14356
07:04:36,269 --> 07:04:38,669
Councilmember Foster because it

14357
07:04:39,539 --> 07:04:40,273
moves us closer to the city

14358
07:04:40,273 --> 07:04:41,730
that we should be a city where

14359
07:04:41,730 --> 07:04:43,710
our young people feel loved and

14360
07:04:43,710 --> 07:04:44,344
supported by an office

14361
07:04:44,344 --> 07:04:44,911
dedicated to their health,

14362
07:04:44,911 --> 07:04:45,611
happiness and success.

14363
07:04:45,611 --> 07:04:48,611
A city where libraries, parks

14364
07:04:49,182 --> 07:04:49,883
and rec centers remain open and

14365
07:04:49,883 --> 07:04:50,583
accessible to every community.

14366
07:04:50,583 --> 07:04:54,870
A city with safer streets for

14367
07:04:54,870 --> 07:04:54,520
everyone whether they walk,

14368
07:04:54,520 --> 07:04:55,221
bike or drive.

14369
07:04:55,221 --> 07:04:57,621
Through continued support for

14370
07:04:58,591 --> 07:04:59,458
the multimodal transportation

14371
07:04:59,458 --> 07:05:00,590
team a city with a vibrant arts

14372
07:05:00,590 --> 07:05:02,590
and culture ecosystems

14373
07:05:03,763 --> 07:05:04,397
supported through a coordinated

14374
07:05:04,397 --> 07:05:06,797
partnership with the city,

14375
07:05:08,201 --> 07:05:09,202
the county and philanthropy.

14376
07:05:09,202 --> 07:05:09,736
And to that point I do want to

14377
07:05:09,736 --> 07:05:12,136
say thank you, Kim.

14378
07:05:12,639 --> 07:05:13,373
You and your team within

14379
07:05:13,373 --> 07:05:13,973
the Division of Race and Equity

14380
07:05:13,973 --> 07:05:14,707
in the Ideas Office for

14381
07:05:14,707 --> 07:05:17,643
pointing out a structural issue

14382
07:05:17,643 --> 07:05:18,378
that we've had for a long time

14383
07:05:18,378 --> 07:05:18,778
in terms of how arts funding is

14384
07:05:18,778 --> 07:05:20,778
distributed.

14385
07:05:21,614 --> 07:05:22,315
I know that we're not going to

14386
07:05:22,315 --> 07:05:22,982
make the strides that we could

14387
07:05:22,982 --> 07:05:26,582
make this year on that front

14388
07:05:26,953 --> 07:05:27,554
but I do think it's important

14389
07:05:27,554 --> 07:05:28,254
again to wrestle with

14390
07:05:28,254 --> 07:05:28,955
the question of what as we're

14391
07:05:28,955 --> 07:05:31,355
distributing and investing in

14392
07:05:32,325 --> 07:05:32,926
arts and culture should we be

14393
07:05:32,926 --> 07:05:35,926
factoring in that we are

14394
07:05:36,596 --> 07:05:37,263
contributing more to

14395
07:05:37,263 --> 07:05:37,963
organizations where the city

14396
07:05:37,963 --> 07:05:38,664
where the executives make more

14397
07:05:38,664 --> 07:05:41,640
than entire organizations get

14398
07:05:41,735 --> 07:05:42,469
on an annual basis?

14399
07:05:42,469 --> 07:05:43,202
That's a community conversation

14400
07:05:43,202 --> 07:05:43,870
that needs to be wrestled with.

14401
07:05:43,870 --> 07:05:47,470
And I thank you all for

14402
07:05:48,882 --> 07:05:49,743
pointing that out.

14403
07:05:49,743 --> 07:05:50,343
And that brings me to where we

14404
07:05:50,343 --> 07:05:51,411
thought we shouldn't be

14405
07:05:51,411 --> 07:05:55,110
wrestling with on a year by

14406
07:05:56,383 --> 07:05:57,830
year basis.

14407
07:05:57,830 --> 07:06:00,830
San Diegans I'm not satisfied

14408
07:06:01,521 --> 07:06:02,188
with this budget.

14409
07:06:02,188 --> 07:06:02,856
To that point, San Diegans

14410
07:06:02,856 --> 07:06:03,556
should not be scrambling to

14411
07:06:03,556 --> 07:06:06,126
save funding for their most

14412
07:06:06,126 --> 07:06:06,493
cherished neighborhood

14413
07:06:06,493 --> 07:06:07,160
services.

14414
07:06:07,160 --> 07:06:07,827
Firefighters and lifeguards

14415
07:06:07,827 --> 07:06:08,528
should not have to beg this

14416
07:06:08,528 --> 07:06:10,430
city for the basics They need

14417
07:06:10,430 --> 07:06:11,398
to do their jobs.

14418
07:06:11,398 --> 07:06:12,660
That is not who we should be.

14419
07:06:12,660 --> 07:06:14,466
We cannot continue avoiding

14420
07:06:15,569 --> 07:06:16,236
the underlying problem.

14421
07:06:16,236 --> 07:06:16,870
We must address our revenue

14422
07:06:16,870 --> 07:06:19,270
challenges and our ongoing

14423
07:06:20,507 --> 07:06:21,208
structural budget deficit year

14424
07:06:21,208 --> 07:06:21,908
after year we find ourselves

14425
07:06:21,908 --> 07:06:22,609
fighting over what services to

14426
07:06:22,609 --> 07:06:25,645
cut and what services to save.

14427
07:06:25,645 --> 07:06:26,313
I asked a question at

14428
07:06:26,313 --> 07:06:27,130
the beginning of this budget

14429
07:06:27,130 --> 07:06:27,280
cycle What city do we want to

14430
07:06:27,280 --> 07:06:29,280
be?

14431
07:06:29,850 --> 07:06:30,617
Again and again San Diegans

14432
07:06:30,617 --> 07:06:30,983
have shown up and told us they

14433
07:06:30,983 --> 07:06:31,618
want more.

14434
07:06:31,618 --> 07:06:34,618
They want better and they

14435
07:06:35,155 --> 07:06:35,689
believe we can do more, can do

14436
07:06:35,689 --> 07:06:36,222
more and be better.

14437
07:06:36,222 --> 07:06:38,622
I agree with them.

14438
07:06:39,793 --> 07:06:40,493
The next important conversation

14439
07:06:40,493 --> 07:06:41,194
is about how we collect

14440
07:06:41,194 --> 07:06:41,496
the resources necessary to get

14441
07:06:41,496 --> 07:06:42,196
there.

14442
07:06:42,196 --> 07:06:44,564
I say tax the rich and wealthy

14443
07:06:44,564 --> 07:06:44,865
and make tourist pay their fair

14444
07:06:44,865 --> 07:06:45,598
share.

14445
07:06:45,598 --> 07:06:46,400
I think most San Diegans agree.

14446
07:06:46,400 --> 07:06:49,400
But that's a conversation for

14447
07:06:49,703 --> 07:06:50,571
tomorrow.

14448
07:06:50,571 --> 07:06:50,871
We've got a budget to pass

14449
07:06:50,871 --> 07:06:51,404
today.

14450
07:06:51,404 --> 07:06:53,404
This motion reflects

14451
07:06:54,700 --> 07:06:54,441
responsible budgeting and our

14452
07:06:54,441 --> 07:06:55,108
shared values.

14453
07:06:55,108 --> 07:06:55,776
It prioritizes the services

14454
07:06:55,776 --> 07:06:58,776
that residents use every day

14455
07:06:59,112 --> 07:06:59,813
and invests in the quality of

14456
07:06:59,813 --> 07:07:00,180
life that makes neighborhoods

14457
07:07:00,180 --> 07:07:02,180
stronger.

14458
07:07:04,184 --> 07:07:04,784
And I hope this this motion in

14459
07:07:04,784 --> 07:07:05,552
front of us will pass.

14460
07:07:05,552 --> 07:07:05,919
It doesn't get us entirely to

14461
07:07:05,919 --> 07:07:07,919
the city.

14462
07:07:09,550 --> 07:07:09,389
We should be but it's a step

14463
07:07:09,389 --> 07:07:09,989
forward.

14464
07:07:09,989 --> 07:07:10,357
We'll keep fighting for

14465
07:07:10,357 --> 07:07:11,570
the rest.

14466
07:07:11,570 --> 07:07:13,457
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

14467
07:07:14,161 --> 07:07:14,928
All right.

14468
07:07:14,928 --> 07:07:15,262
Thank you, Council member Ella

14469
07:07:15,262 --> 07:07:15,996
Rivera.

14470
07:07:15,996 --> 07:07:16,330
We'll go next to Council member

14471
07:07:16,330 --> 07:07:18,330
Moreno.

14472
07:07:19,660 --> 07:07:19,967
Thank you for the presentation

14473
07:07:19,967 --> 07:07:23,537
And and first I would like to

14474
07:07:23,537 --> 07:07:24,237
thank our budget review

14475
07:07:24,237 --> 07:07:25,500
committee chair council member

14476
07:07:25,500 --> 07:07:28,605
Foster and all your staff for

14477
07:07:28,708 --> 07:07:29,376
writing a efficient and

14478
07:07:29,376 --> 07:07:30,760
transparent budget process.

14479
07:07:30,760 --> 07:07:33,676
Thank you to all the community

14480
07:07:33,847 --> 07:07:34,481
members who have voiced their

14481
07:07:34,481 --> 07:07:34,815
viewpoints throughout this

14482
07:07:34,815 --> 07:07:36,815
hearing.

14483
07:07:38,251 --> 07:07:38,986
We are listening.

14484
07:07:38,986 --> 07:07:39,587
Also thank you to the aba for

14485
07:07:39,587 --> 07:07:41,987
your continuing and your

14486
07:07:43,190 --> 07:07:43,723
continued analysis of this

14487
07:07:43,723 --> 07:07:44,158
budget and suggested

14488
07:07:44,158 --> 07:07:46,158
modifications.

14489
07:07:48,162 --> 07:07:48,896
The original proposed budget

14490
07:07:48,896 --> 07:07:49,596
was being balanced on the backs

14491
07:07:49,596 --> 07:07:52,596
of communities that have been

14492
07:07:53,334 --> 07:07:53,667
underserved by the city for

14493
07:07:53,667 --> 07:07:54,401
decades.

14494
07:07:54,401 --> 07:07:57,908
The motion before us today as

14495
07:07:57,908 --> 07:07:58,572
crafted by my colleagues take

14496
07:07:58,572 --> 07:08:01,572
major steps in the right

14497
07:08:02,750 --> 07:08:02,743
direction.

14498
07:08:02,743 --> 07:08:03,410
If given the choice of

14499
07:08:03,410 --> 07:08:05,410
defunding automated license

14500
07:08:07,414 --> 07:08:08,480
plate reader technology or

14501
07:08:08,480 --> 07:08:10,448
keeping core services like

14502
07:08:12,353 --> 07:08:13,120
parks and rec libraries open we

14503
07:08:13,120 --> 07:08:15,520
should absolutely be choosing

14504
07:08:17,658 --> 07:08:18,526
park and rec and libraries to

14505
07:08:18,526 --> 07:08:22,229
stay open in the city of San

14506
07:08:22,229 --> 07:08:22,996
Diego.

14507
07:08:22,996 --> 07:08:25,396
Automated license plate readers

14508
07:08:27,702 --> 07:08:28,502
should never be viewed as a

14509
07:08:28,502 --> 07:08:30,902
substitute for the relationship

14510
07:08:32,206 --> 07:08:32,873
Trust and presence that comes

14511
07:08:32,873 --> 07:08:35,273
from having police officers

14512
07:08:37,211 --> 07:08:37,578
actively engaged in our

14513
07:08:37,578 --> 07:08:38,246
community.

14514
07:08:38,246 --> 07:08:41,515
This is not the first time I

14515
07:08:41,515 --> 07:08:42,116
voiced concern about

14516
07:08:42,116 --> 07:08:44,116
surveillance technology.

14517
07:08:45,219 --> 07:08:45,919
When the contract was first

14518
07:08:45,919 --> 07:08:48,319
introduced I raised questions

14519
07:08:50,357 --> 07:08:50,992
about privacy data security and

14520
07:08:50,992 --> 07:08:53,392
the potential for misuse.

14521
07:08:54,896 --> 07:08:55,563
I still am concerned about this

14522
07:08:55,563 --> 07:08:57,563
PRESIDENT's administration's

14523
07:08:59,867 --> 07:09:00,601
use of surveillance technology

14524
07:09:00,601 --> 07:09:03,601
and I'm still concerned about

14525
07:09:04,805 --> 07:09:05,540
how ice and other agencies

14526
07:09:05,540 --> 07:09:06,273
might be using this technology

14527
07:09:06,273 --> 07:09:09,273
to target specific groups of

14528
07:09:09,777 --> 07:09:10,644
people.

14529
07:09:10,644 --> 07:09:13,644
I have a responsibility to

14530
07:09:14,715 --> 07:09:15,383
carefully evaluate technologies

14531
07:09:15,383 --> 07:09:18,383
that collect and store large

14532
07:09:19,553 --> 07:09:19,954
amounts of information about

14533
07:09:19,954 --> 07:09:20,922
the public.

14534
07:09:20,922 --> 07:09:23,925
This is why I voted no When

14535
07:09:23,925 --> 07:09:24,258
the contract first came to

14536
07:09:24,258 --> 07:09:24,959
council.

14537
07:09:24,959 --> 07:09:25,626
And I would urge my colleagues

14538
07:09:25,626 --> 07:09:28,363
to vote for the motion on

14539
07:09:28,363 --> 07:09:31,963
the floor and the floor to

14540
07:09:33,000 --> 07:09:33,768
defund the Floc surveillance.

14541
07:09:33,768 --> 07:09:34,435
Moving on The restoration of

14542
07:09:34,435 --> 07:09:37,435
arts and cultural funding is

14543
07:09:38,305 --> 07:09:39,600
particularly important to

14544
07:09:39,600 --> 07:09:39,874
communities that I represent.

14545
07:09:39,874 --> 07:09:42,976
I want to thank I want to take

14546
07:09:42,976 --> 07:09:43,578
this opportunity to think Chair

14547
07:09:43,578 --> 07:09:45,978
Foster Pro-Tem Lee and

14548
07:09:47,810 --> 07:09:47,849
the private foundation.

14549
07:09:47,849 --> 07:09:48,583
For many years I have urged

14550
07:09:48,583 --> 07:09:51,583
the arts and cultural community

14551
07:09:52,120 --> 07:09:52,787
to bring the services to date.

14552
07:09:52,787 --> 07:09:55,787
Thanks to that commitment my

14553
07:09:56,958 --> 07:09:57,725
community has been exposed to

14554
07:09:57,725 --> 07:10:00,661
arts and culture and I would

14555
07:10:00,661 --> 07:10:01,329
venture to say that many of my

14556
07:10:01,329 --> 07:10:01,996
residents first exposure to

14557
07:10:01,996 --> 07:10:04,396
arts and cultural programing

14558
07:10:05,633 --> 07:10:06,201
comes through programs

14559
07:10:06,201 --> 07:10:08,601
supported by the city.

14560
07:10:10,371 --> 07:10:11,390
Arts and culture is a core

14561
07:10:11,390 --> 07:10:14,390
service of the city because

14562
07:10:14,943 --> 07:10:15,710
this council has said this

14563
07:10:15,710 --> 07:10:18,710
through policies like Penny for

14564
07:10:19,781 --> 07:10:20,548
the Arts Anyone who disagrees

14565
07:10:20,548 --> 07:10:21,349
with me I would welcome them to

14566
07:10:21,349 --> 07:10:24,349
slash our arts and cultural

14567
07:10:24,853 --> 07:10:25,886
funding.

14568
07:10:25,886 --> 07:10:29,486
>> I'm also pleased to see this

14569
07:10:29,691 --> 07:10:30,458
Council honor its commitment to

14570
07:10:30,458 --> 07:10:32,858
continue 24 hour security at

14571
07:10:34,896 --> 07:10:35,196
the storage Connect Center

14572
07:10:35,196 --> 07:10:35,830
site.

14573
07:10:35,830 --> 07:10:38,230
Indeed, when this storage

14574
07:10:39,801 --> 07:10:42,201
facility was first introduced

14575
07:10:43,805 --> 07:10:44,606
to council in 2018 before I was

14576
07:10:44,606 --> 07:10:47,606
elected the city made a

14577
07:10:48,109 --> 07:10:48,777
commitment to keep 2047

14578
07:10:48,777 --> 07:10:51,777
security on the safe storage

14579
07:10:52,380 --> 07:10:53,248
site on 116 South 20th Street

14580
07:10:53,248 --> 07:10:56,848
which I will point is right

14581
07:10:57,685 --> 07:10:58,486
next to Our Lady of Guadalupe

14582
07:10:58,486 --> 07:11:01,486
Church right that has an

14583
07:11:02,523 --> 07:11:03,124
elementary school in it.

14584
07:11:03,124 --> 07:11:05,124
>> Funding for security

14585
07:11:06,428 --> 07:11:07,195
services at the safe storage

14586
07:11:07,195 --> 07:11:07,795
facility is about more than a

14587
07:11:07,795 --> 07:11:10,795
line item in the budget.

14588
07:11:11,466 --> 07:11:11,899
It's about keeping a promise to

14589
07:11:11,899 --> 07:11:13,899
the community.

14590
07:11:16,705 --> 07:11:17,439
I remain deeply moving right on

14591
07:11:17,439 --> 07:11:20,709
to another topic I still remain

14592
07:11:20,709 --> 07:11:21,342
deeply concerned about

14593
07:11:21,342 --> 07:11:22,100
the proposed reduction to

14594
07:11:22,100 --> 07:11:24,100
several stormwater programs.

14595
07:11:26,480 --> 07:11:26,681
I know these concerns are

14596
07:11:26,681 --> 07:11:27,810
shared by the Storm water

14597
07:11:27,810 --> 07:11:29,810
department.

14598
07:11:31,850 --> 07:11:31,753
I was very happy to see Fire

14599
07:11:31,753 --> 07:11:32,487
Chief Logan recognize what i

14600
07:11:32,487 --> 07:11:35,487
said during the budget reviews.

14601
07:11:35,991 --> 07:11:36,658
I stated during the MAY

14602
07:11:36,658 --> 07:11:39,580
revision discussion The city

14603
07:11:40,694 --> 07:11:41,463
must learn from the storms of

14604
07:11:41,463 --> 07:11:43,863
2024 and prepare for future

14605
07:11:46,000 --> 07:11:46,701
severe weather events including

14606
07:11:46,701 --> 07:11:50,301
the possibility of a Super El

14607
07:11:50,940 --> 07:11:51,773
Nino this year.

14608
07:11:51,773 --> 07:11:54,773
I appreciate the proactive ness

14609
07:11:55,343 --> 07:11:55,977
of the new head of the office

14610
07:11:55,977 --> 07:11:56,711
of Emergency Services Fire

14611
07:11:56,711 --> 07:11:59,711
Chief Logan for looking into

14612
07:12:00,382 --> 07:12:00,982
what preventative measures

14613
07:12:00,982 --> 07:12:03,982
the city can take before

14614
07:12:05,220 --> 07:12:05,921
disaster happens.

14615
07:12:05,921 --> 07:12:06,622
>> Funding for storm Water

14616
07:12:06,622 --> 07:12:09,220
channel clearance is essential

14617
07:12:10,559 --> 07:12:11,259
to protecting public safety and

14618
07:12:11,259 --> 07:12:13,259
safeguarding our communities.

14619
07:12:15,798 --> 07:12:16,398
>> However, the broader reality

14620
07:12:16,398 --> 07:12:18,798
remains the Storm water

14621
07:12:20,680 --> 07:12:20,769
department must be funded at a

14622
07:12:20,769 --> 07:12:21,370
level that allows it to

14623
07:12:21,370 --> 07:12:23,370
adequately maintain and

14624
07:12:25,541 --> 07:12:26,108
modernize our infrastructure so

14625
07:12:26,108 --> 07:12:26,808
that it can withstand

14626
07:12:26,808 --> 07:12:29,208
the increasingly severe storms

14627
07:12:30,145 --> 07:12:30,913
we're facing.

14628
07:12:30,913 --> 07:12:34,513
One way that I welcome to

14629
07:12:35,550 --> 07:12:36,151
achieve all of these goals is

14630
07:12:36,151 --> 07:12:36,852
by implementing the many

14631
07:12:36,852 --> 07:12:39,252
recommendations that the city

14632
07:12:40,622 --> 07:12:41,890
auditor has proposed to this

14633
07:12:41,890 --> 07:12:41,724
administration.

14634
07:12:41,724 --> 07:12:43,724
I also support

14635
07:12:45,127 --> 07:12:45,728
the recommendations to

14636
07:12:45,728 --> 07:12:46,295
strengthen oversight and

14637
07:12:46,295 --> 07:12:46,862
accountability through

14638
07:12:46,862 --> 07:12:49,262
investment in the city

14639

07:12:51,199 --> 07:12:53,599
Commission, the City Clerk's

14641
07:12:55,204 --> 07:12:55,837
Office and the Office of Labor

14642
07:12:55,837 --> 07:12:57,837
Standards and Enforcement.

14643
07:13:00,209 --> 07:13:01,900
Residents expect transparency

14644
07:13:01,900 --> 07:13:01,710
and an end in effective

14645
07:13:01,710 --> 07:13:04,110
government and these functions

14646
07:13:05,647 --> 07:13:06,348
are essential to maintaining

14647
07:13:06,348 --> 07:13:09,348
public confidence in the city.

14648
07:13:10,753 --> 07:13:11,453
I believe the motion on

14649
07:13:11,453 --> 07:13:12,121
the floor as crafted by my

14650
07:13:12,121 --> 07:13:14,521
colleague reflects many of

14651
07:13:16,291 --> 07:13:16,892
the values this Council has

14652
07:13:16,892 --> 07:13:18,892
consistently expressed.

14653
07:13:21,130 --> 07:13:21,831
Investing in core city

14654
07:13:21,831 --> 07:13:23,831
services, protecting community

14655
07:13:25,601 --> 07:13:26,201
resources and ultimately

14656
07:13:26,201 --> 07:13:26,836
ensuring that our budget

14657
07:13:26,836 --> 07:13:29,236
decisions are aligned with

14658
07:13:31,507 --> 07:13:32,174
the needs of the residents.

14659
07:13:32,174 --> 07:13:32,841
So I'm very supportive of

14660
07:13:32,841 --> 07:13:35,841
the motion before us today.

14661
07:13:35,978 --> 07:13:36,378
Thank you.

14662
07:13:36,378 --> 07:13:36,779
All right.

14663
07:13:36,779 --> 07:13:37,346
Thank you.

14664
07:13:37,346 --> 07:13:39,346
Council member Moreno.

14665
07:13:42,510 --> 07:13:42,351
We'll go next to Council member

14666
07:13:42,351 --> 07:13:43,190
.

14667
07:13:43,190 --> 07:13:43,686
Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

14668
07:13:43,686 --> 07:13:45,687
Thank you to the members of

14669
07:13:45,687 --> 07:13:46,354
the public who joined us

14670
07:13:46,354 --> 07:13:47,550
through the entire process.

14671
07:13:47,550 --> 07:13:47,790
Thank you to the eib's office

14672
07:13:47,790 --> 07:13:51,360
for your good work and analysis

14673
07:13:51,360 --> 07:13:51,961
and working with my staff to

14674
07:13:51,961 --> 07:13:52,661
analyze this throughout

14675
07:13:52,661 --> 07:13:53,620
the throughout the last month

14676
07:13:53,620 --> 07:13:55,620
and a half.

14677
07:13:55,797 --> 07:13:56,531
Marianne, your team of course

14678
07:13:56,531 --> 07:13:57,166
for being at these meetings and

14679
07:13:57,166 --> 07:13:59,566
listening the whole time.

14680
07:14:01,137 --> 07:14:01,837
And thank you to our budget

14681
07:14:01,837 --> 07:14:02,471
chair for his preparation and

14682
07:14:02,471 --> 07:14:04,471
guidance throughout this.

14683
07:14:05,908 --> 07:14:08,908
I appreciate just how much

14684
07:14:10,813 --> 07:14:11,347
the motion in front of us does

14685
07:14:11,347 --> 07:14:11,981
in terms of meeting

14686
07:14:11,981 --> 07:14:14,381
the priorities that serve

14687
07:14:14,683 --> 07:14:15,351
District seven residents.

14688
07:14:15,351 --> 07:14:16,180
Office of Child and Youth

14689
07:14:16,180 --> 07:14:18,200
Success was something I

14690
07:14:18,200 --> 07:14:18,688
obviously championed in 2021

14691
07:14:18,688 --> 07:14:22,288
and happy to see that re

14692
07:14:23,893 --> 07:14:24,527
refunded in this measure.

14693
07:14:24,527 --> 07:14:25,261
Small Business Enhancement

14694
07:14:25,261 --> 07:14:25,928
Program As the chair of edi and

14695
07:14:25,928 --> 07:14:28,498
I are I've been pressing for

14696
07:14:28,498 --> 07:14:29,980
that every single year

14697
07:14:29,980 --> 07:14:29,765
undeniably and of course

14698
07:14:29,765 --> 07:14:32,165
the opposite The independent

14699
07:14:33,870 --> 07:14:34,570
offices that hold the city

14700
07:14:34,570 --> 07:14:35,204
accountable not just the mayor

14701
07:14:35,204 --> 07:14:35,872
but also the city council,

14702
07:14:35,872 --> 07:14:38,872
the city auditor, the ethics

14703
07:14:39,342 --> 07:14:39,975
commission and all of those

14704
07:14:39,975 --> 07:14:40,342
getting funding absolutely

14705
07:14:40,342 --> 07:14:42,342
critical.

14706
07:14:44,790 --> 07:14:44,780
And of course working hard year

14707
07:14:44,780 --> 07:14:47,780
after year to restore library

14708
07:14:49,385 --> 07:14:50,530
hours, recreation hours Those

14709
07:14:50,530 --> 07:14:53,530
are of immense importance to

14710
07:14:54,523 --> 07:14:55,191
children In Linda Vista and

14711
07:14:55,191 --> 07:14:55,825
children in every community.

14712
07:14:55,825 --> 07:14:57,825
Oftentimes communities of

14713
07:14:59,662 --> 07:15:00,362
concern are described in one

14714
07:15:00,362 --> 07:15:01,300
part of the city and I can

14715
07:15:01,300 --> 07:15:04,630
attest with my own eyes that

14716
07:15:05,200 --> 07:15:05,935
there are low income and

14717
07:15:05,935 --> 07:15:06,569
working class families in every

14718
07:15:06,569 --> 07:15:08,969
single neighborhood in my

14719
07:15:10,273 --> 07:15:10,874
district who rely on those

14720
07:15:10,874 --> 07:15:11,574
services and absolutely

14721
07:15:11,574 --> 07:15:14,574
appreciate the advocacy of not

14722
07:15:14,844 --> 07:15:15,311
just me but all nine city

14723
07:15:15,311 --> 07:15:16,460
council members.

14724
07:15:16,460 --> 07:15:20,160
And last but not least the arts

14725
07:15:20,160 --> 07:15:20,784
and culture community for

14726
07:15:20,784 --> 07:15:21,651
pressing so hard for a complete

14727
07:15:21,651 --> 07:15:25,251
gutting back to where we are

14728
07:15:25,354 --> 07:15:26,122
today.

14729
07:15:26,122 --> 07:15:26,922
It's a very, very strong signal

14730
07:15:26,922 --> 07:15:30,522
that the community sent that I

14731
07:15:31,427 --> 07:15:32,128
absolutely stand with And I do

14732
07:15:32,128 --> 07:15:35,128
have to appreciate that we're

14733
07:15:35,832 --> 07:15:36,533
seeing graffiti unit supervisor

14734
07:15:36,533 --> 07:15:37,233
in the sex registration unit

14735
07:15:37,233 --> 07:15:40,233
supervisor place back in that

14736
07:15:41,700 --> 07:15:41,671
is undeniably important What I

14737
07:15:41,671 --> 07:15:44,671
see through the rest of

14738
07:15:46,109 --> 07:15:46,442
the motion definitely has my

14739
07:15:46,442 --> 07:15:47,143
support.

14740
07:15:47,143 --> 07:15:50,743
I do appreciate that the West

14741
07:15:51,981 --> 07:15:52,649
Valley River crossing something

14742
07:15:52,649 --> 07:15:53,316
that I've pushed for before

14743
07:15:53,316 --> 07:15:56,118
while sitting in the sandag

14744
07:15:56,118 --> 07:15:56,786
boardroom and sitting with San

14745
07:15:56,786 --> 07:15:59,186
Diego River Park Foundation

14746
07:16:01,758 --> 07:16:02,459
trying to get that connected.

14747
07:16:02,459 --> 07:16:03,360
It's not always a DR. Steven

14748
07:16:03,360 --> 07:16:06,663
Gallop who comes in to advocate

14749
07:16:06,663 --> 07:16:10,863
for that with me but many, many

14750
07:16:11,868 --> 07:16:12,535
people as I see this entire

14751
07:16:12,535 --> 07:16:13,690
motion before us I'm deeply,

14752
07:16:13,690 --> 07:16:15,690
deeply appreciative.

14753
07:16:16,172 --> 07:16:16,840
But there is a $2 million

14754
07:16:16,840 --> 07:16:19,840
problem The idea of license

14755
07:16:21,278 --> 07:16:21,944
plate readers being directly

14756
07:16:21,944 --> 07:16:22,646
pitted against children and

14757
07:16:22,646 --> 07:16:26,246
youth and families is a false

14758
07:16:27,183 --> 07:16:27,884
choice as any as false of any

14759
07:16:27,884 --> 07:16:28,317
choice as we've seen in this

14760
07:16:28,317 --> 07:16:30,317
entire debate.

14761
07:16:31,588 --> 07:16:32,356
And of course it's deliberate

14762
07:16:32,356 --> 07:16:33,890
It forces us to ignore

14763
07:16:33,890 --> 07:16:36,689
the reality of what these tools

14764
07:16:37,127 --> 07:16:37,494
do to save lives in the city

14765
07:16:37,494 --> 07:16:38,294
every day.

14766
07:16:38,294 --> 07:16:42,365
Let me be clear I want every

14767
07:16:42,365 --> 07:16:42,666
person to feel safe in our

14768
07:16:42,666 --> 07:16:43,333
city.

14769
07:16:43,333 --> 07:16:46,933
When I was a prosecutor for

14770
07:16:47,671 --> 07:16:48,472
the city, whether it was trying

14771
07:16:48,472 --> 07:16:49,239
a trial or a verdict and having

14772
07:16:49,239 --> 07:16:51,639
12 people find their peers

14773
07:16:53,430 --> 07:16:53,810
guilty or it was dismissing a

14774
07:16:53,810 --> 07:16:57,410
case with a green sheet many,

14775
07:16:58,348 --> 07:17:01,948
many times justice has to be

14776
07:17:02,585 --> 07:17:03,860
done and lawyers collect some

14777
07:17:03,860 --> 07:17:03,786
of that evidence.

14778
07:17:03,786 --> 07:17:07,386
But ending the use of Alpers

14779
07:17:08,759 --> 07:17:09,225
does not make everyone in this

14780
07:17:09,225 --> 07:17:09,859
city feel safe.

14781
07:17:09,859 --> 07:17:12,859
It doesn't make us safer.

14782
07:17:13,897 --> 07:17:14,598
First of all, no piece of

14783
07:17:14,598 --> 07:17:15,231
technology can stop all crime.

14784
07:17:15,231 --> 07:17:18,831
I don't think it was ever

14785
07:17:18,902 --> 07:17:19,670
promised as such.

14786
07:17:19,670 --> 07:17:20,403
If the measure of success is

14787
07:17:20,403 --> 07:17:24,700
that some tool is going to stop

14788
07:17:24,700 --> 07:17:24,741
all crime, well then that's a

14789
07:17:24,741 --> 07:17:25,475
measure that will never be met.

14790
07:17:25,475 --> 07:17:29,750
No tool will ever be perfect.

14791
07:17:30,347 --> 07:17:31,480
I don't think anyone on

14792
07:17:31,480 --> 07:17:31,381
the streets ever promised that

14793
07:17:31,381 --> 07:17:31,982
either.

14794
07:17:31,982 --> 07:17:34,382
And personally I resent

14795
07:17:35,151 --> 07:17:35,852
the idea of placing children

14796
07:17:35,852 --> 07:17:36,520
and families directly against

14797
07:17:36,520 --> 07:17:38,920
this technology because I've

14798
07:17:40,124 --> 07:17:40,723
had families who've had their

14799
07:17:40,723 --> 07:17:43,123
children and their their

14800
07:17:45,796 --> 07:17:46,530
fathers, their aunts and uncles

14801
07:17:46,530 --> 07:17:47,197
the perpetrators who murdered

14802
07:17:47,197 --> 07:17:50,797
them, beat them to death and

14803
07:17:50,968 --> 07:17:51,935
went to their court with this

14804
07:17:51,935 --> 07:17:55,535
multiple times trying to see it

14805
07:17:59,100 --> 07:17:59,710
on a weekly basis.

14806
07:17:59,710 --> 07:18:00,430
Those families aren't faceless

14807
07:18:00,430 --> 07:18:02,430
people.

14808
07:18:04,882 --> 07:18:05,649
They're humans oftentimes who

14809
07:18:05,649 --> 07:18:09,720
are at a park when they got

14810
07:18:09,720 --> 07:18:10,253
beat to death.

14811
07:18:10,253 --> 07:18:12,653
The reality is that

14812
07:18:15,593 --> 07:18:16,326
the children that are kept safe

14813
07:18:16,326 --> 07:18:19,326
because their abusers are found

14814
07:18:20,531 --> 07:18:20,830
those children are human beings

14815
07:18:20,830 --> 07:18:21,798
.

14816
07:18:21,798 --> 07:18:25,398
>> Who here wants to go tell

14817
07:18:26,970 --> 07:18:29,970
those families no, your family

14818
07:18:31,776 --> 07:18:33,776
doesn't get justice.

14819
07:18:39,583 --> 07:18:40,184
The domestic violence survivors

14820
07:18:40,184 --> 07:18:42,184
,they get justice.

14821
07:18:50,270 --> 07:18:50,694
>> Do you sit in a courtroom,

14822
07:18:50,694 --> 07:18:53,694
You prosecute a person who's

14823
07:18:56,366 --> 07:18:57,167
done something heinous.

14824
07:18:57,167 --> 07:18:57,802
And the difference between a

14825
07:18:57,802 --> 07:19:00,202
guilty conviction and that

14826
07:19:01,273 --> 07:19:04,873
person walking free is an lpr

14827
07:19:07,110 --> 07:19:07,377
who here stands with that

14828
07:19:07,377 --> 07:19:09,377
criminal.

14829
07:19:12,883 --> 07:19:13,551
I don't think the person or I

14830
07:19:13,551 --> 07:19:13,851
don't think anybody in that

14831
07:19:13,851 --> 07:19:14,518
room.

14832
07:19:14,518 --> 07:19:15,520
One more outburst and you'll

14833
07:19:15,520 --> 07:19:17,452
have to be escorted.

14834
07:19:18,656 --> 07:19:19,223
You know the rules.

14835
07:19:19,223 --> 07:19:19,924
Let them talk.

14836
07:19:19,924 --> 07:19:20,658
We'll let everybody else talk.

14837
07:19:20,658 --> 07:19:23,895
But you agree with them or not?

14838
07:19:23,895 --> 07:19:24,662
Now here's the difference.

14839
07:19:24,662 --> 07:19:25,429
I don't think anybody in here

14840
07:19:25,429 --> 07:19:29,400
is trying to get rid of lawyers

14841
07:19:29,400 --> 07:19:30,167
stands with that criminal.

14842
07:19:30,167 --> 07:19:30,868
I'm not going to take

14843
07:19:30,868 --> 07:19:33,868
the debate in that direction.

14844
07:19:35,272 --> 07:19:39,472
I know you want people to have

14845
07:19:39,911 --> 07:19:40,511
justice fairness on both hands

14846
07:19:40,511 --> 07:19:42,511
because you're human.

14847
07:19:46,584 --> 07:19:47,284
I'm human.

14848
07:19:47,284 --> 07:19:47,751
All these councilmembers up

14849
07:19:47,751 --> 07:19:48,553
here are human.

14850
07:19:48,553 --> 07:19:51,488
We're trying to make human

14851
07:19:51,488 --> 07:19:53,488
decisions.

14852
07:19:57,127 --> 07:19:57,862
The fear of parents that are

14853
07:19:57,862 --> 07:19:58,563
relying on Amber Alerts to find

14854
07:19:58,563 --> 07:19:58,862
their missing children that's

14855
07:19:58,862 --> 07:20:00,862
human.

14856
07:20:02,867 --> 07:20:03,501
As I've said in public and on

14857
07:20:03,501 --> 07:20:05,901
the dais, I unequivocally

14858
07:20:08,390 --> 07:20:08,740
condemn the humanitarian abuses

14859
07:20:08,740 --> 07:20:09,730
that are occurring across this

14860
07:20:09,730 --> 07:20:11,730
country.

14861
07:20:13,644 --> 07:20:13,944
I've made my perspective clear

14862
07:20:13,944 --> 07:20:14,712
.

14863
07:20:14,712 --> 07:20:15,446
I've done my part in elections

14864
07:20:15,446 --> 07:20:19,646
to make sure that never came to

14865
07:20:19,784 --> 07:20:20,718
pass in our country.

14866
07:20:20,718 --> 07:20:24,318
And I'll highlight again why I

14867
07:20:25,589 --> 07:20:26,193
really deeply resent the way

14868
07:20:26,193 --> 07:20:28,193
this conversation goes.

14869
07:20:31,129 --> 07:20:31,829
Someone raising children with

14870
07:20:31,829 --> 07:20:34,229
multiple heritages Mexican and

14871
07:20:37,100 --> 07:20:39,100
Iranian heritage Mexican

14872
07:20:39,637 --> 07:20:40,538
immigrant and Muslim parents

14873
07:20:40,538 --> 07:20:43,538
knowing this is the world

14874
07:20:46,770 --> 07:20:46,845
they're inheriting.

14875
07:20:46,845 --> 07:20:47,545
I know that world where they're

14876
07:20:47,545 --> 07:20:51,145
going to walk and be viewed

14877
07:20:51,216 --> 07:20:51,649
suspiciously by virtue of their

14878
07:20:51,649 --> 07:20:53,649
last name.

14879
07:20:57,655 --> 07:20:58,489
That fear is real.

14880
07:20:58,489 --> 07:20:58,990
But here's a question I come

14881
07:20:58,990 --> 07:20:59,657
back to every day.

14882
07:20:59,657 --> 07:21:02,570
What's the impact of

14883
07:21:04,396 --> 07:21:04,763
the decision today and

14884
07:21:04,763 --> 07:21:05,429
tomorrow?

14885
07:21:05,429 --> 07:21:09,290
Ending the El Al pr contract

14886
07:21:09,601 --> 07:21:09,934
doesn't alleviate everyone's

14887
07:21:09,934 --> 07:21:10,635
fear.

14888
07:21:10,635 --> 07:21:11,690
For many people it actually

14889
07:21:11,690 --> 07:21:13,690
increases it.

14890
07:21:15,440 --> 07:21:16,107
Tomorrow the city would lose

14891
07:21:16,107 --> 07:21:16,841
the public safety tool that

14892
07:21:16,841 --> 07:21:20,441
saves lives each and every day.

14893
07:21:20,811 --> 07:21:21,446
>> So many other cities around

14894
07:21:21,446 --> 07:21:22,179
us using that technology,

14895
07:21:22,179 --> 07:21:23,949
removing it in essence would be

14896
07:21:23,949 --> 07:21:26,949
inviting more crime to our

14897
07:21:30,622 --> 07:21:31,890
neighborhood.

14898
07:21:31,890 --> 07:21:31,957
You can laugh.

14899
07:21:31,957 --> 07:21:36,157
Okay, But I'm going to tell you

14900
07:21:36,394 --> 07:21:36,962
home and Julissa.

14901
07:21:36,962 --> 07:21:37,595
Second warning Nobody

14902
07:21:37,595 --> 07:21:39,595
interfered with anybody's

14903
07:21:42,400 --> 07:21:42,968
ability to talk.

14904
07:21:42,968 --> 07:21:43,501
It's a simple rule.

14905
07:21:43,501 --> 07:21:44,335
Extend the courtesy.

14906
07:21:44,335 --> 07:21:47,935
Put your thumbs up or thumbs

14907
07:21:48,206 --> 07:21:48,840
down.

14908
07:21:48,840 --> 07:21:49,641
Let the individual speak.

14909
07:21:49,641 --> 07:21:49,975
As I said, it was never about

14910
07:21:49,975 --> 07:21:51,643
content.

14911
07:21:51,643 --> 07:21:54,643
It was about disruption and

14912
07:21:58,349 --> 07:21:58,750
disrupting the meeting.

14913
07:21:58,750 --> 07:22:00,750
Thank you.

14914
07:22:03,888 --> 07:22:05,888
Council PRESIDENT.

14915
07:22:09,627 --> 07:22:10,328
It's not logical to remove them

14916
07:22:10,328 --> 07:22:11,620
when so many other cities

14917
07:22:11,620 --> 07:22:11,763
around us have them and then we

14918
07:22:11,763 --> 07:22:14,833
are no longer we're no longer

14919
07:22:14,833 --> 07:22:17,233
part of that network.

14920
07:22:21,874 --> 07:22:22,340
That's not a tradeoff I'm

14921
07:22:22,340 --> 07:22:22,974
willing to make.

14922
07:22:22,974 --> 07:22:23,576
That's not a tradeoff that

14923
07:22:23,576 --> 07:22:26,576
the vast majority of our

14924
07:22:26,845 --> 07:22:27,612
constituents are asking for.

14925
07:22:27,612 --> 07:22:30,120
Council member Foster I

14926
07:22:33,285 --> 07:22:33,986
appreciate the details you have

14927
07:22:33,986 --> 07:22:34,753
in here but there's $2 million

14928
07:22:34,753 --> 07:22:37,753
problem one that I think

14929
07:22:39,191 --> 07:22:39,892
sacrifices significant public

14930
07:22:39,892 --> 07:22:42,292
safety evidence collection for

14931
07:22:45,630 --> 07:22:45,931
us to hold people accountable

14932
07:22:45,931 --> 07:22:46,631
in court which is what it does.

14933
07:22:46,631 --> 07:22:47,650
>> I've seen it firsthand.

14934
07:22:47,650 --> 07:22:49,650
Thank you.

14935
07:22:53,104 --> 07:22:53,839
I think a council member can't

14936
07:22:53,839 --> 07:22:54,506
be our connector Council member

14937
07:22:54,506 --> 07:22:55,207
Von Wolford, thank you very

14938
07:22:55,207 --> 07:22:57,710
much And thank you to Charles

14939
07:22:57,710 --> 07:22:58,343
and your entire team for all

14940
07:22:58,343 --> 07:22:58,944
the incredible work you do

14941
07:22:58,944 --> 07:22:59,278
every year on our budget

14942
07:22:59,278 --> 07:23:00,120
process.

14943
07:23:00,120 --> 07:23:03,612
Thank you to the mayor's office

14944
07:23:03,982 --> 07:23:04,582
and Department of Finance and

14945
07:23:04,582 --> 07:23:05,183
everybody And thank you,

14946
07:23:05,183 --> 07:23:05,850
Councilmember Foster for

14947
07:23:05,850 --> 07:23:06,185
putting together the budget

14948
07:23:06,185 --> 07:23:08,185
motion.

14949
07:23:09,388 --> 07:23:10,560
What I'm very pleased to see

14950
07:23:10,560 --> 07:23:10,756
that we are going to be

14951
07:23:10,756 --> 07:23:11,156
restoring the funding for arts

14952
07:23:11,156 --> 07:23:13,156
and culture.

14953
07:23:15,940 --> 07:23:15,928
It's fantastic.

14954
07:23:15,928 --> 07:23:16,629
Thank you art and culture for

14955
07:23:16,629 --> 07:23:17,329
coming to be here every year.

14956
07:23:17,329 --> 07:23:17,863
But I do hear you on finding a

14957
07:23:17,863 --> 07:23:19,863
permanent solution.

14958
07:23:21,133 --> 07:23:21,966
Agreed.

14959
07:23:21,966 --> 07:23:22,635
And if there is no greater

14960
07:23:22,635 --> 07:23:25,635
proof that arts and culture

14961
07:23:29,174 --> 07:23:29,909
create incredible jobs in an

14962
07:23:29,909 --> 07:23:30,276
economy here in San Diego, it's

14963
07:23:30,276 --> 07:23:30,976
our focus.

14964
07:23:30,976 --> 07:23:33,976
Is the hard working stagehand

14965
07:23:34,880 --> 07:23:35,581
workers who put together this

14966
07:23:35,581 --> 07:23:35,947
incredible you know, Comic-Con

14967
07:23:35,947 --> 07:23:36,682
is coming.

14968
07:23:36,682 --> 07:23:37,216
It's one of the biggest year to

14969
07:23:37,216 --> 07:23:37,783
build a city inside

14970
07:23:37,783 --> 07:23:39,783
the convention center.

14971
07:23:40,753 --> 07:23:41,454
And so I want to thank the ac

14972
07:23:41,454 --> 07:23:42,188
workers for being here to show

14973
07:23:42,188 --> 07:23:42,855
us that arts and culture is not

14974
07:23:42,855 --> 07:23:45,323
only need in our communities

14975
07:23:45,323 --> 07:23:46,250
but also create jobs at

14976
07:23:46,250 --> 07:23:46,759
the same time leading to my

14977
07:23:46,759 --> 07:23:47,426
next point which is we have to

14978
07:23:47,426 --> 07:23:49,826
protect working people from

14979
07:23:50,863 --> 07:23:51,763
wage theft.

14980
07:23:51,763 --> 07:23:52,464
There are so many people who go

14981
07:23:52,464 --> 07:23:53,132
in and work incredibly hard in

14982
07:23:53,132 --> 07:23:56,132
their employer does not pay

14983
07:23:56,902 --> 07:23:57,502
them for a fair day's wages and

14984
07:23:57,502 --> 07:23:58,337
they steal their wages.

14985
07:23:58,337 --> 07:23:58,804
It is a real crime that needs

14986
07:23:58,804 --> 07:23:59,405
to be addressed.

14987
07:23:59,405 --> 07:24:01,805
The San Diego District

14988
07:24:03,209 --> 07:24:03,909
Attorney's Office has found

14989
07:24:03,909 --> 07:24:04,643
that an overwhelming majority

14990
07:24:04,643 --> 07:24:07,643
of surveyed hourly workers face

14991
07:24:09,114 --> 07:24:09,816
some form of stolen wages.

14992
07:24:09,816 --> 07:24:10,516
Yet a massive proportion of

14993
07:24:10,516 --> 07:24:11,183
these violations go unreported

14994
07:24:11,183 --> 07:24:13,583
because they are vulnerable

14995
07:24:15,588 --> 07:24:16,355
workers.

14996
07:24:16,355 --> 07:24:16,688
I'm talking about low wage

14997
07:24:16,688 --> 07:24:17,323
earners.

14998
07:24:17,323 --> 07:24:18,230
Immigrant populations are

14999
07:24:18,230 --> 07:24:18,457
taking advantage all the time

15000
07:24:18,457 --> 07:24:20,457
by employers.

15001
07:24:21,827 --> 07:24:22,227
Service sector workers anyone

15002
07:24:22,227 --> 07:24:23,620
paid hourly.

15003
07:24:23,620 --> 07:24:27,600
So I'm very glad to see that we

15004
07:24:27,600 --> 07:24:28,234
are going to in this motion

15005
07:24:28,234 --> 07:24:28,934
putting forward a program

15006
07:24:28,934 --> 07:24:29,635
manager position in the Office

15007
07:24:29,635 --> 07:24:30,235
of Labor Standards Enforcement

15008
07:24:30,235 --> 07:24:33,235
to combat wage theft in

15009
07:24:33,839 --> 07:24:34,606
the city.

15010
07:24:34,606 --> 07:24:35,307
I'm glad we're taking it over

15011
07:24:35,307 --> 07:24:35,941
to the city attorney's office

15012
07:24:35,941 --> 07:24:36,609
because that can be a self

15013
07:24:36,609 --> 07:24:38,609
recovering funding position.

15014
07:24:40,379 --> 07:24:41,113
The more fines and fees you get

15015
07:24:41,113 --> 07:24:41,814
from criminal employers you can

15016
07:24:41,814 --> 07:24:46,140
put it back into the system to

15017
07:24:46,486 --> 07:24:47,253
enforce it against anyone else.

15018
07:24:47,253 --> 07:24:47,686
So I think that's a really

15019
07:24:47,686 --> 07:24:48,354
great change.

15020
07:24:48,354 --> 07:24:49,880
I'm also glad to see that we

15021
07:24:49,880 --> 07:24:52,880
are using our opioid settlement

15022
07:24:52,191 --> 07:24:52,826
funds as they are intended to

15023
07:24:52,826 --> 07:24:53,492
be used which is combating

15024
07:24:53,492 --> 07:24:54,600
the addiction crisis in our

15025
07:24:54,600 --> 07:24:56,460
streets, in our homes.

15026
07:24:59,164 --> 07:24:59,632
Thank you to the lgbt Center

15027
07:24:59,632 --> 07:25:00,366
for being here.

15028
07:25:00,366 --> 07:25:01,990
I'm very glad we're going to be

15029
07:25:01,990 --> 07:25:03,970
partnering with you to be doing

15030
07:25:03,970 --> 07:25:04,704
subsidies treatment for some of

15031
07:25:04,704 --> 07:25:05,338
our most vulnerable lgbtq folks

15032
07:25:05,338 --> 07:25:05,938
who have historically been

15033
07:25:05,938 --> 07:25:08,338
kicked out of treatment

15034
07:25:10,777 --> 07:25:11,110
programs because they come out

15035
07:25:11,110 --> 07:25:11,911
as gay.

15036
07:25:11,911 --> 07:25:12,311
And so I'm glad to see we are

15037
07:25:12,311 --> 07:25:12,945
doing this.

15038
07:25:12,945 --> 07:25:16,149
I'm also glad to see we're

15039
07:25:16,149 --> 07:25:16,749
continuing our partnership in

15040
07:25:16,749 --> 07:25:17,450
our emergency rooms with

15041
07:25:17,450 --> 07:25:18,184
the transition support team at

15042
07:25:18,184 --> 07:25:22,550
uc San Diego to get people help

15043
07:25:22,550 --> 07:25:22,722
if they survive an overdose and

15044
07:25:22,722 --> 07:25:23,489
wake up in your bed.

15045
07:25:23,489 --> 07:25:24,157
I want to thank Legally for

15046
07:25:24,157 --> 07:25:27,157
being here with the eviction

15047
07:25:28,600 --> 07:25:28,761
prevention program Partnering

15048
07:25:28,761 --> 07:25:29,429
our eviction prevention funds

15049
07:25:29,429 --> 07:25:29,995
with a qualified lawyer from

15050
07:25:29,995 --> 07:25:30,697
Legal Aid is the best

15051
07:25:30,697 --> 07:25:34,297
partnership we can do to keep

15052
07:25:34,499 --> 07:25:35,368
people in their homes.

15053
07:25:35,368 --> 07:25:36,680
I want to legally where I used

15054
07:25:36,680 --> 07:25:36,735
to survey the eviction defense

15055
07:25:36,735 --> 07:25:39,135
clinics and the restraining

15056
07:25:41,774 --> 07:25:42,442
order clinics and I know how

15057
07:25:42,442 --> 07:25:43,175
important it is to have that

15058
07:25:43,175 --> 07:25:43,776
back rent so you can pay it and

15059
07:25:43,776 --> 07:25:46,776
it does not affect you.

15060
07:25:46,913 --> 07:25:47,446
So thank you for being here for

15061
07:25:47,446 --> 07:25:48,810
the fire department.

15062
07:25:48,810 --> 07:25:48,481
Do you have a question for

15063
07:25:48,481 --> 07:25:50,481
Chief Logan?

15064
07:25:52,952 --> 07:25:53,686
Considering we just had a fire

15065
07:25:53,686 --> 07:25:54,530
to date yesterday in support of

15066
07:25:54,530 --> 07:25:54,787
Alley one.

15067
07:25:54,787 --> 07:25:58,258
Thank you for your work on that

15068
07:25:58,258 --> 07:25:59,240
but I just want to ask again

15069
07:25:59,240 --> 07:25:59,592
and make sure that we are fully

15070
07:25:59,592 --> 07:26:00,293
funded for our aerial

15071
07:26:00,293 --> 07:26:03,293
operations to protect the city

15072
07:26:03,763 --> 07:26:04,230
from fires this coming year.

15073
07:26:04,230 --> 07:26:04,530
Yes, we are.

15074
07:26:04,530 --> 07:26:04,931
What?

15075
07:26:04,931 --> 07:26:05,298
Thank you.

15076
07:26:05,298 --> 07:26:07,298
Fantastic.

15077
07:26:09,636 --> 07:26:10,303
Also, you know, I really want

15078
07:26:10,303 --> 07:26:11,500
to make sure that we have

15079
07:26:11,500 --> 07:26:11,471
strong qualified women in our

15080
07:26:11,471 --> 07:26:13,471
fire department.

15081
07:26:15,842 --> 07:26:16,576
You know, every the city has

15082
07:26:16,576 --> 07:26:17,243
done pay equity studies to show

15083
07:26:17,243 --> 07:26:20,843
that women can be paid less.

15084
07:26:21,514 --> 07:26:22,215
Unfortunately, city employees

15085
07:26:22,215 --> 07:26:22,816
and hardest glass ceilings to

15086
07:26:22,816 --> 07:26:23,215
crack has been the fire

15087
07:26:23,215 --> 07:26:25,215
department.

15088
07:26:27,620 --> 07:26:28,288
And so I was very sad to see

15089
07:26:28,288 --> 07:26:28,988
that the Women's Firefighter

15090
07:26:28,988 --> 07:26:29,288
Academy was not restored this

15091
07:26:29,288 --> 07:26:30,230
year.

15092
07:26:30,230 --> 07:26:34,327
But I do want to make sure that

15093
07:26:34,327 --> 07:26:35,600
there are qualified women in

15094
07:26:35,600 --> 07:26:35,694
leadership positions And that's

15095
07:26:35,694 --> 07:26:36,950
what you were committed to

15096
07:26:36,950 --> 07:26:36,363
going to do?

15097
07:26:36,363 --> 07:26:38,363
Yes.

15098
07:26:41,434 --> 07:26:42,168
Okay.

15099
07:26:42,168 --> 07:26:42,802
But you can be qualified.

15100
07:26:42,802 --> 07:26:43,503
We're not just supporting

15101
07:26:43,503 --> 07:26:44,137
anybody Believe you don't want

15102
07:26:44,137 --> 07:26:44,504
to send me into a burning

15103
07:26:44,504 --> 07:26:45,138
building.

15104
07:26:45,138 --> 07:26:45,473
I will not be able to help

15105
07:26:45,473 --> 07:26:45,930
anybody.

15106
07:26:45,930 --> 07:26:47,930
But thank you.

15107
07:26:50,343 --> 07:26:51,111
I appreciate that.

15108
07:26:51,111 --> 07:26:51,778
And finally, when it comes to

15109
07:26:51,778 --> 07:26:52,478
public safety, you know, we

15110
07:26:52,478 --> 07:26:55,782
discussed this a bit on Friday

15111
07:26:55,782 --> 07:26:56,515
but I do believe we need to

15112
07:26:56,515 --> 07:26:56,949
have a holistic conversation on

15113
07:26:56,949 --> 07:26:57,551
public safety.

15114
07:26:57,551 --> 07:27:00,551
I believe we need both.

15115
07:27:02,855 --> 07:27:03,223
We need our parks and rec and

15116
07:27:03,223 --> 07:27:03,956
libraries.

15117
07:27:03,956 --> 07:27:08,156
We need arts and we need police

15118
07:27:08,362 --> 07:27:08,995
officers to respond to criminal

15119
07:27:08,995 --> 07:27:09,563
activities that make those

15120
07:27:09,563 --> 07:27:10,197
public spaces unsafe.

15121
07:27:10,197 --> 07:27:10,897
You know, when I first got

15122
07:27:10,897 --> 07:27:13,897
elected there was a fatal

15123
07:27:15,969 --> 07:27:16,603
stabbing in a community park in

15124
07:27:16,603 --> 07:27:17,237
Favor Springs And none of

15125
07:27:17,237 --> 07:27:20,237
the families who use that

15126
07:27:20,607 --> 07:27:21,275
community park want to go back

15127
07:27:21,275 --> 07:27:21,975
there until the suspect who

15128
07:27:21,975 --> 07:27:24,375
murdered somebody was arrested

15129
07:27:26,460 --> 07:27:26,346
because it was no longer a safe

15130
07:27:26,346 --> 07:27:27,214
space.

15131
07:27:27,214 --> 07:27:30,784
I don't believe that we have to

15132
07:27:30,784 --> 07:27:31,485
take away funding from one part

15133
07:27:31,485 --> 07:27:31,852
of public safety or to fund

15134
07:27:31,852 --> 07:27:32,352
the other.

15135
07:27:32,352 --> 07:27:34,752
We can have both.

15136
07:27:36,790 --> 07:27:37,491
I reject the premise that

15137
07:27:37,491 --> 07:27:38,125
the only way to have a good

15138
07:27:38,125 --> 07:27:38,792
parking brake system is by

15139
07:27:38,792 --> 07:27:39,192
defunding part of our police

15140
07:27:39,192 --> 07:27:41,192
department.

15141
07:27:43,597 --> 07:27:44,264
The city spent $60 million

15142
07:27:44,264 --> 07:27:44,998
buying new traffic lanes for

15143
07:27:44,998 --> 07:27:45,665
everybody recently which is now

15144
07:27:45,665 --> 07:27:48,650
apparently would affect our

15145
07:27:49,636 --> 07:27:50,370
general fund based on

15146
07:27:50,370 --> 07:27:50,770
the settlement that we just did

15147
07:27:50,770 --> 07:27:51,404
on crashes.

15148
07:27:51,404 --> 07:27:52,139
I mean that's ridiculous.

15149
07:27:52,139 --> 07:27:52,439
New trashcans don't make anyone

15150
07:27:52,439 --> 07:27:54,439
safer.

15151
07:27:55,409 --> 07:27:55,976
We could have rejected that and

15152
07:27:55,976 --> 07:27:56,643
funded both our police

15153
07:27:56,643 --> 07:27:57,211
department and our parks and

15154
07:27:57,211 --> 07:27:59,611
rec and our libraries.

15155
07:28:00,647 --> 07:28:01,281
So I don't agree with this

15156
07:28:01,281 --> 07:28:01,882
premise right now at all.

15157
07:28:01,882 --> 07:28:02,483
I also think we need

15158
07:28:02,483 --> 07:28:03,150
the Commission on Police

15159
07:28:03,150 --> 07:28:06,750
Practices to be funded to be

15160
07:28:06,754 --> 07:28:07,454
part of our public safety and

15161
07:28:07,454 --> 07:28:08,220
our No shots fired program for

15162
07:28:08,220 --> 07:28:08,756
violent interruption.

15163
07:28:08,756 --> 07:28:09,356
So I'm glad to see that in this

15164
07:28:09,356 --> 07:28:11,756
motion we are providing

15165
07:28:13,494 --> 07:28:14,940
technology that they need at

15166
07:28:14,940 --> 07:28:16,494
the Commission on Police

15167
07:28:18,932 --> 07:28:19,633
Practices and I hear so often

15168
07:28:19,633 --> 07:28:20,300
about what other cities do or

15169
07:28:20,300 --> 07:28:23,300
police and other cities do.

15170
07:28:24,505 --> 07:28:25,206
We cannot control what's

15171
07:28:25,206 --> 07:28:25,939
happening in other cities and

15172
07:28:25,939 --> 07:28:26,507
what the police officers choose

15173
07:28:26,507 --> 07:28:27,700
to do in other cities.

15174
07:28:27,700 --> 07:28:29,700
It is horrendous.

15175
07:28:31,245 --> 07:28:31,945
If anyone wants to stalk a

15176
07:28:31,945 --> 07:28:32,646
girlfriend based on technology

15177
07:28:32,646 --> 07:28:32,947
that is awful, they should be

15178
07:28:32,947 --> 07:28:34,947
fired.

15179
07:28:37,484 --> 07:28:38,185
And in this city we're fighting

15180
07:28:38,185 --> 07:28:38,519
to make sure that ice does not

15181
07:28:38,519 --> 07:28:39,286
come in.

15182
07:28:39,286 --> 07:28:42,323
I want to thank you for beating

15183
07:28:42,323 --> 07:28:43,230
on the due process ordinance to

15184
07:28:43,230 --> 07:28:43,691
make sure that ice agents are

15185
07:28:43,691 --> 07:28:44,358
not allowed on city property

15186
07:28:44,358 --> 07:28:44,992
without a warrant just like

15187
07:28:44,992 --> 07:28:47,992
police should be able to.

15188
07:28:48,696 --> 07:28:49,363
And we have led the vote to sue

15189
07:28:49,363 --> 07:28:50,630
ice taken to court alongside

15190
07:28:50,630 --> 07:28:53,630
our sister city in Minneapolis

15191
07:28:54,802 --> 07:28:55,369
to prevent them from coming

15192
07:28:55,369 --> 07:28:56,103
into our communities.

15193
07:28:56,103 --> 07:28:56,737
And we've led the fight to make

15194
07:28:56,737 --> 07:28:59,737
sure that our systems are

15195
07:29:00,141 --> 07:29:01,700
locked down.

15196
07:29:01,700 --> 07:29:01,709
San Diego is the only one in

15197
07:29:01,709 --> 07:29:02,443
the state that I know of that

15198
07:29:02,443 --> 07:29:03,110
doesn't share automated license

15199
07:29:03,110 --> 07:29:06,110
plate reader data with other

15200
07:29:08,820 --> 07:29:08,916
cities.

15201
07:29:08,916 --> 07:29:09,583
They did when we first tried to

15202
07:29:09,583 --> 07:29:10,184
mine an audit court that we

15203
07:29:10,184 --> 07:29:10,850
turned that function off

15204
07:29:10,850 --> 07:29:12,887
because we don't trust other

15205
07:29:12,887 --> 07:29:13,554
cities.

15206
07:29:13,554 --> 07:29:14,121
Even at that level

15207
07:29:14,121 --> 07:29:14,789
underestimated before.

15208
07:29:14,789 --> 07:29:15,523
So I want a commitment again

15209
07:29:15,523 --> 07:29:18,523
from our police department that

15210
07:29:18,659 --> 07:29:19,327
we are not cooperating in

15211
07:29:19,327 --> 07:29:20,610
immigration enforcement and

15212
07:29:20,610 --> 07:29:20,828
that there will be consequences

15213
07:29:20,828 --> 07:29:23,828
for any officer who violates

15214
07:29:27,134 --> 07:29:27,568
California state law.

15215
07:29:27,568 --> 07:29:29,568
Good evening.

15216
07:29:33,273 --> 07:29:33,674
Council Member.

15217
07:29:33,674 --> 07:29:34,408
Absolutely.

15218
07:29:34,408 --> 07:29:35,309
We are committed to one abiding

15219
07:29:35,309 --> 07:29:38,909
by state law and also being

15220
07:29:40,381 --> 07:29:41,490
transparent about the way that

15221
07:29:41,490 --> 07:29:43,449
we're using that technology.

15222
07:29:45,586 --> 07:29:46,454
I want to thank you, Chief.

15223
07:29:46,454 --> 07:29:47,121
>> You know, I've heard we

15224
07:29:47,121 --> 07:29:47,421
litigate this issue so many

15225
07:29:47,421 --> 07:29:49,421
times.

15226
07:29:51,426 --> 07:29:52,590
I mean I'm a member of

15227
07:29:52,590 --> 07:29:52,760
the lgbtq community and I

15228
07:29:52,760 --> 07:29:53,461
remember when the hate crimes

15229
07:29:53,461 --> 07:29:57,610
were happening a few years ago

15230
07:29:57,899 --> 07:29:58,565
before Pride and there was an

15231
07:29:58,565 --> 07:29:59,300
unidentified gunmen who was

15232
07:29:59,300 --> 07:30:02,300
shooting pellets at people just

15233
07:30:04,204 --> 07:30:04,939
sitting in bars or bridges and

15234
07:30:04,939 --> 07:30:05,606
somebody almost lost an eye and

15235
07:30:05,606 --> 07:30:06,307
we couldn't find that person

15236
07:30:06,307 --> 07:30:09,907
until we had an npr interview.

15237
07:30:13,614 --> 07:30:14,482
This is making us safer.

15238
07:30:14,482 --> 07:30:15,216
But I'm also just so confused

15239
07:30:15,216 --> 07:30:15,949
about this conversation because

15240
07:30:15,949 --> 07:30:18,949
I believe in accountability and

15241
07:30:20,755 --> 07:30:21,489
trust in oversight which we

15242
07:30:21,489 --> 07:30:21,856
have worked so hard to do in

15243
07:30:21,856 --> 07:30:22,590
the city.

15244
07:30:22,590 --> 07:30:23,257
We have to hold police officers

15245
07:30:23,257 --> 07:30:23,591
accountable when they break

15246
07:30:23,591 --> 07:30:25,591
the law.

15247
07:30:26,761 --> 07:30:27,494
I'm glad that Wanda Fisher is

15248
07:30:27,494 --> 07:30:28,229
no longer in the department But

15249
07:30:28,229 --> 07:30:31,466
the same time during the height

15250
07:30:31,466 --> 07:30:32,100
of the MeToo look the MeToo

15251
07:30:32,100 --> 07:30:32,767
movement I remember across

15252
07:30:32,767 --> 07:30:36,367
the country we all said hey,

15253
07:30:37,438 --> 07:30:38,139
survivors of sexual assault and

15254
07:30:38,139 --> 07:30:38,705
violence have to be believed.

15255
07:30:38,705 --> 07:30:39,106
They have to be held

15256
07:30:39,106 --> 07:30:39,774
accountable.

15257
07:30:39,774 --> 07:30:42,774
The perpetrators have to go.

15258
07:30:43,378 --> 07:30:44,450
We jailed Harvey Weinstein and

15259
07:30:44,450 --> 07:30:47,450
others but just yesterday we

15260
07:30:50,180 --> 07:30:50,618
found out about a woman who was

15261
07:30:50,618 --> 07:30:51,252
kidnaped in the mermaid

15262
07:30:51,252 --> 07:30:51,719
community by her domestic

15263
07:30:51,719 --> 07:30:53,588
violence abuser.

15264
07:30:53,588 --> 07:30:56,588
Witnesses saw her being pulled

15265
07:30:59,794 --> 07:31:00,395
into a car screaming.

15266
07:31:00,395 --> 07:31:01,162
She got out.

15267
07:31:01,162 --> 07:31:01,696
He pulled her back into the car

15268
07:31:01,696 --> 07:31:02,397
taking to her house.

15269
07:31:02,397 --> 07:31:05,997
And the only reason we caught

15270
07:31:06,367 --> 07:31:06,968
this guy is because his license

15271
07:31:06,968 --> 07:31:09,368
plate triggered on on.

15272
07:31:11,600 --> 07:31:11,840
She's a victim.

15273
07:31:11,840 --> 07:31:15,440
Why aren't we going to support

15274
07:31:16,777 --> 07:31:17,379
her abuser being caught?

15275
07:31:17,379 --> 07:31:18,213
I don't understand it.

15276
07:31:18,213 --> 07:31:22,413
There was a woman who lost her

15277
07:31:23,652 --> 07:31:24,324
life this weekend when her

15278
07:31:24,324 --> 07:31:25,190
abuser came from Arizona and

15279
07:31:25,190 --> 07:31:25,453
shot her in the head while she

15280
07:31:25,453 --> 07:31:26,121
was pregnant.

15281
07:31:26,121 --> 07:31:29,721
These are the people that I

15282
07:31:29,757 --> 07:31:30,558
care about when we talk about

15283
07:31:30,558 --> 07:31:31,425
this so we can go back to

15284
07:31:31,425 --> 07:31:33,595
the old way of policing if we

15285
07:31:33,595 --> 07:31:35,995
want But there'll be

15286
07:31:41,360 --> 07:31:41,536
consequences of that if it.

15287
07:31:41,536 --> 07:31:42,203
All right.

15288
07:31:42,203 --> 07:31:44,203
Thank Councilmember Obama

15289
07:31:46,700 --> 07:31:46,441
Albert not seeing anybody else

15290
07:31:46,441 --> 07:31:47,342
on the lights.

15291
07:31:47,342 --> 07:31:50,845
I guess I'll kind of close it

15292
07:31:50,845 --> 07:31:51,713
up.

15293
07:31:51,713 --> 07:31:54,713
I'm going to be particularly

15294
07:31:56,818 --> 07:31:57,486
brief as some of you especially

15295
07:31:57,486 --> 07:31:57,986
those that have already left

15296
07:31:57,986 --> 07:31:58,620
have anticipated.

15297
07:31:58,620 --> 07:32:02,220
But I do want to thank

15298
07:32:03,258 --> 07:32:03,959
Councilmember Foster for your

15299
07:32:03,959 --> 07:32:04,359
leadership and especially your

15300
07:32:04,359 --> 07:32:06,359
work today.

15301
07:32:08,964 --> 07:32:09,831
The progress from the initial

15302
07:32:09,831 --> 07:32:10,536
four person memo to what is in

15303
07:32:10,536 --> 07:32:14,136
front of us is our rather

15304
07:32:14,136 --> 07:32:14,770
extraordinary piece of work.

15305
07:32:14,770 --> 07:32:15,437
Listening to the public,

15306
07:32:15,437 --> 07:32:17,837
listening to your colleagues

15307
07:32:20,976 --> 07:32:21,643
during budget conversations.

15308
07:32:21,643 --> 07:32:25,243
Again, thank you to the aba.

15309
07:32:26,815 --> 07:32:27,516
I also want to thank Council.

15310
07:32:27,516 --> 07:32:28,183
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

15311
07:32:28,183 --> 07:32:28,884
and Councilmember Foster for

15312
07:32:28,884 --> 07:32:29,584
their work on the arts funding

15313
07:32:29,584 --> 07:32:32,854
and what it took to pull that

15314
07:32:32,854 --> 07:32:33,555
together.

15315
07:32:33,555 --> 07:32:34,256
And the partnership with

15316
07:32:34,256 --> 07:32:37,256
the private foundation as well

15317
07:32:39,328 --> 07:32:39,995
as the county.

15318
07:32:39,995 --> 07:32:40,629
Again I want to thank

15319
07:32:40,629 --> 07:32:41,263
Councilmember Whitburn for

15320
07:32:41,263 --> 07:32:41,964
the work on the settlement

15321
07:32:41,964 --> 07:32:44,964
agreement which removed a very

15322
07:32:45,367 --> 07:32:45,968
dark cloud that would have hung

15323
07:32:45,968 --> 07:32:48,968
over us in these budget

15324
07:32:51,173 --> 07:32:51,840
conversations going forward.

15325
07:32:51,840 --> 07:32:54,840
Real quickly I can still

15326
07:32:57,679 --> 07:32:58,380
remember my attempt last year

15327
07:32:58,380 --> 07:32:59,114
to get a little extra money

15328
07:32:59,114 --> 07:33:02,114
into stormwater and that failed

15329
07:33:03,218 --> 07:33:03,852
So to see in excess of 1.3

15330
07:33:03,852 --> 07:33:04,553
million being proposed is

15331
07:33:04,553 --> 07:33:06,953
rather an extraordinary change

15332
07:33:09,124 --> 07:33:09,658
and I really applaud my

15333
07:33:09,658 --> 07:33:11,658
colleagues for that.

15334
07:33:15,330 --> 07:33:15,965
So at the end of the day was

15335
07:33:15,965 --> 07:33:16,598
really only one question I

15336
07:33:16,598 --> 07:33:17,199
think is everybody's mind.

15337
07:33:17,199 --> 07:33:17,599
And so let me I'm not a

15338
07:33:17,599 --> 07:33:18,200
storyteller.

15339
07:33:18,200 --> 07:33:21,170
I'm just going to cut to

15340
07:33:21,170 --> 07:33:21,870
the chase.

15341
07:33:21,870 --> 07:33:22,571
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

15342
07:33:22,571 --> 07:33:25,571
enough often think very, very

15343
07:33:27,430 --> 07:33:27,843
much like in the introduction

15344
07:33:27,843 --> 07:33:32,430
you gave sir to your logic is

15345
07:33:32,648 --> 07:33:33,148
exactly the same process I got

15346
07:33:33,148 --> 07:33:33,916
you on the pivot.

15347
07:33:33,916 --> 07:33:37,516
The question for you was a

15348
07:33:38,921 --> 07:33:39,555
matter of the budget If I

15349
07:33:39,555 --> 07:33:40,256
understood correctly with

15350
07:33:40,256 --> 07:33:40,689
the concerns and the places we

15351
07:33:40,689 --> 07:33:42,689
were aligned.

15352
07:33:44,660 --> 07:33:44,994
For me it is not I think we can

15353
07:33:44,994 --> 07:33:46,994
do both.

15354
07:33:50,699 --> 07:33:51,300
I don't think there is one

15355
07:33:51,300 --> 07:33:51,634
incident that justifies

15356
07:33:51,634 --> 07:33:52,368
the lpr.

15357
07:33:52,368 --> 07:33:55,968
I don't think that one incident

15358
07:33:57,105 --> 07:33:57,806
that justifies eliminating a

15359
07:33:57,806 --> 07:34:01,406
person that I respect who made

15360
07:34:01,844 --> 07:34:02,545
an important point I'm not

15361
07:34:02,545 --> 07:34:03,245
going to disrespect by using

15362
07:34:03,245 --> 07:34:03,946
her name with my comment gave

15363
07:34:03,946 --> 07:34:04,313
me my workplan for the rest of

15364
07:34:04,313 --> 07:34:06,313
the year.

15365
07:34:08,183 --> 07:34:08,950
There is work to be done.

15366
07:34:08,950 --> 07:34:11,950
We are not done with

15367
07:34:14,223 --> 07:34:14,924
the Ubiquiti contract and I

15368
07:34:14,924 --> 07:34:15,291
look forward to conversations

15369
07:34:15,291 --> 07:34:17,291
with them.

15370
07:34:21,262 --> 07:34:22,164
So while I love so much of what

15371
07:34:22,164 --> 07:34:26,235
is in this motion I will be

15372
07:34:26,235 --> 07:34:27,370
voting no.

15373
07:34:27,370 --> 07:34:31,570
So with that I see nobody else

15374
07:34:31,974 --> 07:34:32,941
on the lights.

15375
07:34:32,941 --> 07:34:33,376

07:35:06,276 --> 07:35:09,276
PRESIDENT Okay we're not done.

15393
07:35:10,379 --> 07:35:11,470
We still have work to do and as

15394
07:35:11,470 --> 07:35:11,781
I said at the onset Council

15395
07:35:11,781 --> 07:35:12,515
Member Foster I would return to

15396
07:35:12,515 --> 07:35:14,884
you if you wanted to offer an

15397
07:35:14,884 --> 07:35:16,884
alternative motion.

15398
07:35:19,322 --> 07:35:21,322
Yes.

15399
07:35:26,162 --> 07:35:26,629
And I just want to to make

15400
07:35:26,629 --> 07:35:28,629
something clear.

15401
07:35:29,332 --> 07:35:33,532
This was not a pit one against

15402
07:35:34,504 --> 07:35:35,337
the other.

15403
07:35:35,337 --> 07:35:38,937
This is what I identified in

15404
07:35:41,277 --> 07:35:42,450
the budget as I want And I

15405
07:35:42,450 --> 07:35:42,745
think if we are going to have

15406
07:35:42,745 --> 07:35:45,145
serious conversations about a

15407
07:35:47,160 --> 07:35:47,517
structural deficit, we need to

15408
07:35:47,517 --> 07:35:48,217
really understand

15409
07:35:48,217 --> 07:35:51,217
the difference between a want

15410
07:35:52,688 --> 07:35:53,423
and a need.

15411
07:35:53,423 --> 07:35:56,423
And I can appreciate certain

15412
07:35:58,261 --> 07:35:58,928
individuals who think

15413
07:35:58,928 --> 07:36:01,928
the camera or license plate

15414
07:36:04,300 --> 07:36:05,670
reader makes them safe.

15415
07:36:05,670 --> 07:36:07,537
But truly what makes people

15416
07:36:07,537 --> 07:36:11,137
safe is community And I think

15417
07:36:13,677 --> 07:36:13,977
we need to be honest about that

15418
07:36:13,977 --> 07:36:15,977
.

15419
07:36:17,380 --> 07:36:21,580
And as much as we talk about

15420
07:36:24,254 --> 07:36:25,210
the tell it to cities, I am

15421
07:36:25,210 --> 07:36:28,621
very, very taken aback by how

15422
07:36:33,396 --> 07:36:34,970
much we disregard certain

15423
07:36:34,970 --> 07:36:37,970
communities and their lives as

15424
07:36:39,369 --> 07:36:40,170
well as community members And I

15425
07:36:40,170 --> 07:36:43,770
have to say that like that

15426
07:36:45,642 --> 07:36:46,376
because I truly do question Do

15427
07:36:46,376 --> 07:36:50,576
we care about all people or do

15428
07:36:50,814 --> 07:36:51,114
we just care about a select few

15429
07:36:51,114 --> 07:36:51,882
?

15430
07:36:51,882 --> 07:36:56,820
And the longer I sit in this

15431
07:36:56,887 --> 07:36:57,521
seat every day I feel

15432
07:36:57,521 --> 07:37:01,121
the latter And we are only

15433
07:37:04,828 --> 07:37:05,796
concerned about a select few.

15434
07:37:05,796 --> 07:37:09,396
I think it even tells in

15435
07:37:11,568 --> 07:37:12,302
the conversations as we talk

15436
07:37:12,302 --> 07:37:13,300
about how we handle supplements

15437
07:37:13,300 --> 07:37:16,603
and the dollar values that are

15438
07:37:17,173 --> 07:37:17,941
put on individuals lives.

15439
07:37:17,941 --> 07:37:18,642
Some of the most difficult

15440
07:37:18,642 --> 07:37:21,642
conversations that I have ever

15441
07:37:23,546 --> 07:37:24,347
had to have in my lifetime and

15442
07:37:24,347 --> 07:37:28,547
I must tell you is times I'm

15443
07:37:34,958 --> 07:37:35,592
just purely disgusted So I

15444
07:37:35,592 --> 07:37:37,992
believe that there council

15445
07:37:44,768 --> 07:37:48,968
PRESIDENT For now and I do have

15446
07:37:51,441 --> 07:37:52,409
an alternate motion to present

15447
07:37:52,409 --> 07:37:56,900
and I will ask the city

15448
07:37:58,749 --> 07:37:59,416
attorney as I go through this

15449
07:37:59,416 --> 07:38:03,160
let me know if there are

15450
07:38:04,221 --> 07:38:04,922
certain things that need to be

15451
07:38:04,922 --> 07:38:05,522
said that I have not said

15452
07:38:05,522 --> 07:38:06,222
because some of it is

15453
07:38:06,222 --> 07:38:09,222
repetitive from the last last

15454
07:38:09,893 --> 07:38:10,761
item.

15455
07:38:10,761 --> 07:38:14,361
>> So with that you should have

15456
07:38:19,603 --> 07:38:23,203
do you have a slide deck?

15457
07:38:25,708 --> 07:38:26,477
Thank you.

15458
07:38:26,477 --> 07:38:27,211
>> So with that council

15459
07:38:27,211 --> 07:38:30,140
PRESIDENT I would like to enter

15460
07:38:30,140 --> 07:38:33,140

07:43:05,824 --> 07:43:07,824
the Affordable Housing

15560
07:43:10,950 --> 07:43:10,696
Preservation Fund to be managed

15561
07:43:10,696 --> 07:43:11,960
by the San Diego Housing

15562
07:43:11,960 --> 07:43:11,829
Commission.

15563
07:43:11,829 --> 07:43:14,829
And with that Council PRESIDENT

15564
07:43:15,834 --> 07:43:16,168
That concludes the second

15565
07:43:16,168 --> 07:43:16,535
motion.

15566
07:43:16,535 --> 07:43:17,169
All right.

15567
07:43:17,169 --> 07:43:20,169
Thank you very much, sir.

15568
07:43:23,208 --> 07:43:24,900
We'll go now to council

15569
07:43:24,900 --> 07:43:24,643
PRESIDENT Pro Tem to Thank you,

15570
07:43:24,643 --> 07:43:27,430
PRESIDENT Thank you Chair

15571
07:43:28,180 --> 07:43:28,914
foster Budget chair foster for

15572
07:43:28,914 --> 07:43:29,615
expressing his thoughts on this

15573
07:43:29,615 --> 07:43:32,615
as well and council position.

15574
07:43:34,820 --> 07:43:35,487
I appreciate that We're a

15575
07:43:35,487 --> 07:43:36,540
council where we understand

15576
07:43:36,540 --> 07:43:36,655
that we have different

15577
07:43:36,655 --> 07:43:37,256
perspectives and we MAY

15578
07:43:37,256 --> 07:43:39,625
actually think of times

15579
07:43:39,625 --> 07:43:40,250
the same and come to different

15580
07:43:40,250 --> 07:43:40,793
resolutions.

15581
07:43:40,793 --> 07:43:44,993
I will for one say just because

15582
07:43:46,331 --> 07:43:47,232
I think this is coming up quite

15583
07:43:47,232 --> 07:43:47,967
a bit up here I don't think

15584
07:43:47,967 --> 07:43:48,667
this is a I don't think this is

15585
07:43:48,667 --> 07:43:51,667
a scenario we're talking about

15586
07:43:52,137 --> 07:43:52,671
whether we're being forced to

15587
07:43:52,671 --> 07:43:53,339
make false choices.

15588
07:43:53,339 --> 07:43:56,939
The reality is we are being

15589
07:43:57,643 --> 07:43:58,309
asked to make choices And in a

15590
07:43:58,309 --> 07:43:58,911
city where we don't have

15591
07:43:58,911 --> 07:43:59,645
the resources, the only

15592
07:43:59,645 --> 07:44:03,582
difficult thing we get to do is

15593
07:44:03,582 --> 07:44:04,250
make those choices.

15594
07:44:04,250 --> 07:44:04,850
They might be hard choices.

15595
07:44:04,850 --> 07:44:05,618
We might disagree with

15596
07:44:05,618 --> 07:44:09,218
the choices but I certainly be

15597
07:44:09,755 --> 07:44:10,489
mine when I felt like it was

15598
07:44:10,489 --> 07:44:14,890
one worth making because we had

15599
07:44:14,793 --> 07:44:15,494
every opportunity to restore

15600
07:44:15,494 --> 07:44:15,995
every hour for libraries, rec

15601
07:44:15,995 --> 07:44:17,995
centers much more.

15602
07:44:20,866 --> 07:44:21,569
So I understand why Without

15603
07:44:21,569 --> 07:44:22,101
that we are in a slightly

15604
07:44:22,101 --> 07:44:24,101
different position.

15605
07:44:27,406 --> 07:44:27,707
I do support this motion as

15606
07:44:27,707 --> 07:44:28,407
well.

15607
07:44:28,407 --> 07:44:29,410
I believe it will continue to

15608
07:44:29,410 --> 07:44:31,441
deliver on providing some

15609
07:44:32,912 --> 07:44:33,446
restorations across libraries

15610
07:44:33,446 --> 07:44:34,800
and rec centers.

15611
07:44:34,800 --> 07:44:34,780
It will provide us an

15612
07:44:34,780 --> 07:44:35,448
opportunity to address some of

15613
07:44:35,448 --> 07:44:38,448
the public safety needs that

15614
07:44:39,251 --> 07:44:39,889
have been mentioned especially

15615
07:44:39,889 --> 07:44:42,289
on the stormwater channel

15616
07:44:45,424 --> 07:44:46,125
clearance side because that has

15617
07:44:46,125 --> 07:44:46,692
been emphasized heavily And I

15618
07:44:46,692 --> 07:44:47,360
just want to share my

15619
07:44:47,360 --> 07:44:49,760
appreciation again to Chair

15620
07:44:51,229 --> 07:44:51,964
Foster for taking the time to

15621
07:44:51,964 --> 07:44:52,698
be prepared for this moment and

15622
07:44:52,698 --> 07:44:55,698
appreciate the public for being

15623
07:44:57,970 --> 07:44:58,604
along for the ride with that I

15624
07:44:58,604 --> 07:44:59,500
was going to motion.

15625
07:44:59,500 --> 07:44:59,606
All right.

15626
07:44:59,606 --> 07:45:00,238
So we have a motion by

15627
07:45:00,238 --> 07:45:00,973
Councilmember Foster and a

15628
07:45:00,973 --> 07:45:03,973
second by Council PRESIDENT Pro

15629
07:45:04,343 --> 07:45:05,440
Tem Lee On this second motion

15630
07:45:05,440 --> 07:45:05,378
we'll go next to Councilmember

15631
07:45:05,378 --> 07:45:05,745
Moreno.

15632
07:45:05,745 --> 07:45:07,745
Thank you.

15633
07:45:09,482 --> 07:45:10,183
I am supportive of the motion

15634
07:45:10,183 --> 07:45:10,950
on the floor and I would like

15635
07:45:10,950 --> 07:45:13,950
to add an amendment to

15636
07:45:15,210 --> 07:45:15,688
the motion.

15637
07:45:15,688 --> 07:45:16,388
I would like to include

15638
07:45:16,388 --> 07:45:19,988
the fuel and fleet savings for

15639
07:45:20,893 --> 07:45:21,527
from the police department at

15640
07:45:21,527 --> 07:45:23,527
$370,000 as an additional

15641
07:45:26,199 --> 07:45:26,899
ongoing resource and also to

15642
07:45:26,899 --> 07:45:29,299
restore the graffiti unit

15643
07:45:32,271 --> 07:45:33,600
supervisor at 196,450 and sex

15644
07:45:33,600 --> 07:45:35,406
registration unit supervisor at

15645
07:45:46,686 --> 07:45:47,353
100 at 197,890 $197,881.

15646
07:45:47,353 --> 07:45:49,353
Accepting that amendment,

15647
07:45:57,697 --> 07:45:58,464
Council member Foster Can we

15648
07:45:58,464 --> 07:46:01,330
just take a quick second to

15649
07:46:01,330 --> 07:46:03,433
check the balancing of

15650
07:46:07,273 --> 07:46:10,873
the numbers quickly if I MAY?

15651
07:46:12,345 --> 07:46:14,345
You said 373 75 Okay.

15652
07:46:17,584 --> 07:46:20,584
It's 370, not 375 So I think

15653
07:46:23,623 --> 07:46:27,223
it's down We let us put 375

15654
07:46:34,167 --> 07:46:34,467
just to be over And you put up

15655
07:46:34,467 --> 07:46:35,100
.

15656
07:46:35,100 --> 07:46:35,667
Councilmember Foster

15657
07:46:35,667 --> 07:46:38,667
the identified cost of those

15658
07:46:40,390 --> 07:46:40,707
two positions came to around

15659
07:46:40,707 --> 07:46:43,107
396 million With the motion

15660
07:46:44,778 --> 07:46:45,478
that you put forward there was

15661
07:46:45,478 --> 07:46:47,478
roughly a $26,000 unallocated

15662
07:46:49,820 --> 07:46:49,950
So 375 for 26 is balanced

15663
07:46:49,950 --> 07:46:53,550
provided you want to take that

15664
07:46:55,488 --> 07:46:58,488
quarter second or the motion

15665
07:47:01,628 --> 07:47:01,928
I'll take it.

15666
07:47:01,928 --> 07:47:02,296
Okay.

15667
07:47:02,296 --> 07:47:02,996
Thank you.

15668
07:47:02,996 --> 07:47:06,596
The motion has been amended as

15669
07:47:06,665 --> 07:47:07,367
shown on the screen.

15670
07:47:07,367 --> 07:47:08,340
That concludes your comments.

15671
07:47:08,340 --> 07:47:10,434
That concludes my comments.

15672
07:47:12,605 --> 07:47:13,139
Thank you.

15673
07:47:13,139 --> 07:47:13,673
All right.

15674
07:47:13,673 --> 07:47:14,307
Thank you for that.

15675
07:47:14,307 --> 07:47:14,941
So we'll go next to

15676
07:47:14,941 --> 07:47:16,941
Councilmember Ila Rivera.

15677
07:47:18,444 --> 07:47:20,844
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

15678
07:47:23,783 --> 07:47:24,384
Thank you Chair Foster for this

15679
07:47:24,384 --> 07:47:25,510
thoughtful alternative.

15680
07:47:25,510 --> 07:47:28,510
Thank you for your comments

15681
07:47:29,690 --> 07:47:30,323
because I do think that

15682
07:47:30,323 --> 07:47:33,923
the part that you named is

15683
07:47:36,290 --> 07:47:36,797
important to name.

15684
07:47:36,797 --> 07:47:37,531
It plays itself out in really

15685
07:47:37,531 --> 07:47:38,230
important ways in our community

15686
07:47:38,230 --> 07:47:41,830
When we tell people we care

15687
07:47:42,102 --> 07:47:42,803
about them and they matter to

15688
07:47:42,803 --> 07:47:43,469
us but we don't actually act

15689
07:47:43,469 --> 07:47:43,937
upon the things that they're

15690
07:47:43,937 --> 07:47:46,337
asking us to do.

15691
07:47:48,410 --> 07:47:48,775
They do not trust that we

15692
07:47:48,775 --> 07:47:51,111
actually care about them And we

15693
07:47:51,111 --> 07:47:55,311
just saw this in a very, very

15694
07:47:57,317 --> 07:47:58,510
tragic way a few weeks ago

15695
07:47:58,510 --> 07:47:58,752
where the city that should have

15696
07:47:58,752 --> 07:48:02,352
been able to offer comfort and

15697
07:48:04,291 --> 07:48:04,958
support and love wasn't seen as

15698
07:48:04,958 --> 07:48:07,958
a trusted source of those

15699
07:48:09,396 --> 07:48:10,970
things because requests have

15700
07:48:10,970 --> 07:48:12,497
continuously fallen on deaf

15701
07:48:15,469 --> 07:48:16,336
ears.

15702
07:48:16,336 --> 07:48:16,937
So I'm not going to question

15703
07:48:16,937 --> 07:48:19,337
motive or intent behind

15704
07:48:22,176 --> 07:48:22,743
the words of support that are

15705
07:48:22,743 --> 07:48:23,443
offered from the dais.

15706
07:48:23,443 --> 07:48:27,430
But I'm going to offer caution

15707
07:48:27,881 --> 07:48:28,749
that if we use those words and

15708
07:48:28,749 --> 07:48:32,949
do not back it up with action

15709
07:48:33,286 --> 07:48:34,255
when tough moments come we're

15710
07:48:34,255 --> 07:48:39,550
going to be told to go away not

15711
07:48:39,259 --> 07:48:39,993
thank you for being here And

15712
07:48:39,993 --> 07:48:43,593
that is fair because that's how

15713
07:48:44,765 --> 07:48:45,532
every relationship works And

15714
07:48:45,532 --> 07:48:48,532
council PRESIDENT Pro Tem, I

15715
07:48:51,305 --> 07:48:51,939
appreciate you saying what you

15716
07:48:51,939 --> 07:48:54,939
said today is choice day.

15717
07:48:56,677 --> 07:48:59,677
This council decision day We

15718
07:49:02,750 --> 07:49:03,350
make choices so if the choices

15719
07:49:03,350 --> 07:49:04,840
being presented are not

15720
07:49:04,840 --> 07:49:07,684
acceptable then we need to see

15721
07:49:08,722 --> 07:49:09,389
alternatives.

15722
07:49:09,389 --> 07:49:10,910
But absent an alternative we

15723
07:49:10,910 --> 07:49:13,691
just continue to play the same

15724
07:49:14,328 --> 07:49:14,962
game over and over poking holes

15725
07:49:14,962 --> 07:49:17,362
at potential solutions and

15726
07:49:20,868 --> 07:49:21,536
perpetuating this idea that

15727
07:49:21,536 --> 07:49:22,236
we're just, you know, one

15728
07:49:22,236 --> 07:49:24,636
middle manager away from

15729
07:49:26,674 --> 07:49:27,241
balancing the whole city and

15730
07:49:27,241 --> 07:49:29,641
that is not real.

15731
07:49:31,779 --> 07:49:32,379
We're two decades in plus of

15732
07:49:32,379 --> 07:49:34,779
underfunding the city of

15733
07:49:37,350 --> 07:49:38,520
letting conservative radicals

15734
07:49:38,520 --> 07:49:38,786
tell us that smaller and

15735
07:49:38,786 --> 07:49:41,786
smaller and smaller and smaller

15736
07:49:43,724 --> 07:49:44,458
is better with the goal of

15737
07:49:44,458 --> 07:49:45,159
privatizing the entire thing so

15738
07:49:45,159 --> 07:49:48,759
their buddies can make as much

15739
07:49:48,996 --> 07:49:49,830
money as possible.

15740
07:49:49,830 --> 07:49:50,498
And I don't know how many times

15741
07:49:50,498 --> 07:49:51,198
we as Democrats are going to

15742
07:49:51,198 --> 07:49:54,798
follow them down that path but

15743
07:49:56,370 --> 07:49:56,737
at a certain point we're either

15744
07:49:56,737 --> 07:49:57,471
going to choose an alternative

15745
07:49:57,471 --> 07:50:00,207
or we're going to end up having

15746
07:50:00,207 --> 07:50:01,750
to sell this at the city after

15747
07:50:01,750 --> 07:50:05,875
the folks who want to buy it or

15748
07:50:12,152 --> 07:50:13,200
make money off it.

15749
07:50:13,200 --> 07:50:13,621
The option in front of us still

15750
07:50:13,621 --> 07:50:16,621
does a lot of good.

15751
07:50:18,493 --> 07:50:19,126
It it makes sure that our

15752
07:50:19,126 --> 07:50:19,627
Office of Charlie Success

15753
07:50:19,627 --> 07:50:21,627
maintains funding.

15754
07:50:24,132 --> 07:50:24,799
We get some libraries and parks

15755
07:50:24,799 --> 07:50:25,432
and rec centers open again.

15756
07:50:25,432 --> 07:50:27,832
The stormwater funding is

15757
07:50:30,400 --> 07:50:32,404
incredibly important and make

15758
07:50:35,843 --> 07:50:36,710
no mistake if the whole budget

15759
07:50:36,710 --> 07:50:37,412
isn't as good as it should be,

15760
07:50:37,412 --> 07:50:40,915
this motion isn't as good as

15761
07:50:40,915 --> 07:50:41,683
the last one and I support this

15762
07:50:41,683 --> 07:50:42,349
one because it's it's a better

15763
07:50:42,349 --> 07:50:45,949
direction But at the end of

15764
07:50:46,554 --> 07:50:47,155
the day we're leaving $2

15765
07:50:47,155 --> 07:50:47,889
million in resources on

15766
07:50:47,889 --> 07:50:48,589
the table that could be opening

15767
07:50:48,589 --> 07:50:49,223
more rec centers, opening more

15768
07:50:49,223 --> 07:50:51,623
libraries and opening more

15769
07:50:52,961 --> 07:50:53,661
parks And I think that's a

15770
07:50:53,661 --> 07:50:54,950
shame and I don't think we're

15771
07:50:54,950 --> 07:50:56,950
safer for it.

15772
07:50:58,767 --> 07:50:59,466
So thank you for the thoughtful

15773
07:50:59,466 --> 07:51:00,201
alternative COUNCILMAN Foster

15774
07:51:00,201 --> 07:51:03,801
I'll be supporting the motion a

15775
07:51:04,105 --> 07:51:04,671
point of clear point of

15776
07:51:04,671 --> 07:51:05,720
clarification Point of

15777
07:51:05,720 --> 07:51:07,720
information.

15778
07:51:11,110 --> 07:51:11,412
Okay.

15779
07:51:11,412 --> 07:51:12,380
All right.

15780
07:51:12,380 --> 07:51:13,470
So can I Well next up what I

15781
07:51:13,470 --> 07:51:16,470
would like to get something

15782
07:51:20,288 --> 07:51:20,922
pointed out First I believe in

15783
07:51:20,922 --> 07:51:21,623
the amendment $375,000 was

15784
07:51:21,623 --> 07:51:24,230
mentioned something about fuel

15785
07:51:26,694 --> 07:51:27,395
as first time ever that I was

15786
07:51:27,395 --> 07:51:28,960
going to jump in actually try

15787
07:51:28,960 --> 07:51:30,496
and provide some clarification

15788
07:51:34,680 --> 07:51:34,769
on that one.

15789
07:51:34,769 --> 07:51:37,238
This conversation too I wanted

15790
07:51:37,238 --> 07:51:37,871
to be explicitly clear that

15791
07:51:37,871 --> 07:51:38,439
the $370,000 in savings of

15792
07:51:38,439 --> 07:51:40,839
fleet clean fuel costs

15793
07:51:43,311 --> 07:51:44,120
associated with at police

15794
07:51:44,120 --> 07:51:47,120
department I assume is coming

15795
07:51:47,616 --> 07:51:48,249
from the suggestion to move to

15796
07:51:48,249 --> 07:51:49,840
two officer patrol units.

15797
07:51:49,840 --> 07:51:52,684
Please correct me if that's not

15798
07:51:54,623 --> 07:51:55,323
the case.

15799
07:51:55,323 --> 07:51:55,957
I'm not seeing any correction

15800
07:51:55,957 --> 07:51:56,324
so I will assume that is

15801
07:51:56,324 --> 07:51:58,324
the case.

15802
07:51:59,961 --> 07:52:00,328
I would just note I'll answer

15803
07:52:00,328 --> 07:52:01,280
that Yes.

15804
07:52:01,280 --> 07:52:04,280
If you recall originally when

15805
07:52:05,200 --> 07:52:05,934
Chief Nez like was here he

15806
07:52:05,934 --> 07:52:08,334
offered up a $750,000 savings

15807
07:52:12,107 --> 07:52:12,841
at the time in speaking with

15808
07:52:12,841 --> 07:52:13,507
Chief deadline on your question

15809
07:52:13,507 --> 07:52:17,107
listen, if you go through it

15810
07:52:17,446 --> 07:52:18,213
and you go he's he indicated

15811
07:52:18,213 --> 07:52:21,813
that it was for safety reasons,

15812
07:52:23,418 --> 07:52:24,151
right.

15813
07:52:24,151 --> 07:52:25,860
And we've had this conversation

15814
07:52:25,860 --> 07:52:29,910
Officers do not show up at a

15815
07:52:29,910 --> 07:52:29,758
call by themselves.

15816
07:52:29,758 --> 07:52:32,758
They have another unit that

15817
07:52:35,265 --> 07:52:35,964
comes with them.

15818
07:52:35,964 --> 07:52:36,565
Point of clarification.

15819
07:52:36,565 --> 07:52:36,998
I'm sorry I'm answering

15820
07:52:36,998 --> 07:52:38,998
the question.

15821
07:52:42,504 --> 07:52:43,205
Oh, you're making something up

15822
07:52:43,205 --> 07:52:43,906
from a chief that hasn't been

15823
07:52:43,906 --> 07:52:47,442
trained for a couple of years.

15824
07:52:47,442 --> 07:52:48,343
What What Councilmember Foster

15825
07:52:48,343 --> 07:52:48,643
finish and then it will be your

15826
07:52:48,643 --> 07:52:49,144
turn.

15827
07:52:49,144 --> 07:52:49,910
I think you've got

15828
07:52:49,910 --> 07:52:52,681
the information that you were

15829
07:52:52,681 --> 07:52:53,810
seeking.

15830
07:52:53,810 --> 07:52:53,849
Yes.

15831
07:52:53,849 --> 07:52:54,116
So that's where it comes from?

15832
07:52:54,116 --> 07:52:56,116
Yes.

15833
07:52:59,153 --> 07:52:59,855
And instead of doing it in

15834
07:52:59,855 --> 07:53:00,555
further conversations instead

15835
07:53:00,555 --> 07:53:04,755
of taking it to where it was

15836
07:53:05,160 --> 07:53:09,360
the entire fleet, it was cut to

15837
07:53:11,400 --> 07:53:12,000
a lower number to allow

15838
07:53:12,000 --> 07:53:14,400
the police department to

15839
07:53:16,872 --> 07:53:17,472
determine how they will work

15840
07:53:17,472 --> 07:53:18,173
within these components.

15841
07:53:18,173 --> 07:53:20,173
Appreciate that Councilmember.

15842
07:53:23,979 --> 07:53:24,680
I was going to note two things

15843
07:53:24,680 --> 07:53:27,983
One that the amount that is in

15844
07:53:27,983 --> 07:53:28,617
this motion is less than

15845
07:53:28,617 --> 07:53:28,917
the $750,000 was initially

15846
07:53:28,917 --> 07:53:29,651
there.

15847
07:53:29,651 --> 07:53:30,351
Presumably that that that means

15848
07:53:30,351 --> 07:53:33,351
that there is some opportunity

15849
07:53:33,922 --> 07:53:34,623
for the police chief for

15850
07:53:34,623 --> 07:53:37,623
the department to choose where

15851
07:53:38,594 --> 07:53:38,961
or which units would go to two

15852
07:53:38,961 --> 07:53:39,695
officers.

15853
07:53:39,695 --> 07:53:40,429
There will likely still be some

15854
07:53:40,429 --> 07:53:40,728
impact on overtime and response

15855
07:53:40,728 --> 07:53:42,728
times.

15856
07:53:45,267 --> 07:53:45,834
I will leave that to

15857
07:53:45,834 --> 07:53:46,502
the council decide on

15858
07:53:46,502 --> 07:53:50,102
the merits of the other note

15859
07:53:50,506 --> 07:53:51,206
that I was going to make is

15860
07:53:51,206 --> 07:53:51,840
that this is likely something

15861
07:53:51,840 --> 07:53:52,407
that would require meeting

15862
07:53:52,407 --> 07:53:54,807
confer with the play.

15863
07:53:58,130 --> 07:53:58,681
That said, I also know that

15864
07:53:58,681 --> 07:53:59,347
the play suggested moving to

15865
07:53:59,347 --> 07:53:59,981
two officer patrol units so

15866
07:53:59,981 --> 07:54:00,649
presumably that would be a

15867
07:54:00,649 --> 07:54:01,250
relatively quickly in confer

15868
07:54:01,250 --> 07:54:04,250
session But just want to

15869
07:54:06,522 --> 07:54:07,220
highlight that.

15870
07:54:07,220 --> 07:54:07,423
Thank you.

15871
07:54:07,423 --> 07:54:08,123
All right.

15872
07:54:08,123 --> 07:54:08,691
That was the comment you want

15873
07:54:08,691 --> 07:54:11,691
to make on the lights.

15874
07:54:12,628 --> 07:54:13,296
Okay.

15875
07:54:13,296 --> 07:54:13,962
Councilmember Campbell, I

15876
07:54:13,962 --> 07:54:14,597
didn't mean to jump in but I

15877
07:54:14,597 --> 07:54:17,832
don't want to get back and

15878
07:54:17,832 --> 07:54:18,467
forth going on here But

15879
07:54:18,467 --> 07:54:19,201
important clarifications I

15880
07:54:19,201 --> 07:54:19,568
think evolved out of your point

15881
07:54:19,568 --> 07:54:21,568
of order.

15882
07:54:24,340 --> 07:54:25,107
So so I want to know if that

15883
07:54:25,107 --> 07:54:29,307
has to go to meet and confer

15884
07:54:30,279 --> 07:54:30,980
that it is not appropriate to

15885
07:54:30,980 --> 07:54:31,313
put into this budget at this

15886
07:54:31,313 --> 07:54:32,470
moment.

15887
07:54:32,470 --> 07:54:32,348
It's something that's just been

15888
07:54:32,348 --> 07:54:34,348
added.

15889
07:54:36,419 --> 07:54:39,419
It wasn't in the previous

15890
07:54:42,725 --> 07:54:43,426
motion so could I the police

15891
07:54:43,426 --> 07:54:44,930
chief to come and talk about

15892
07:54:44,930 --> 07:54:47,930
this or I'm meeting confer

15893
07:54:47,897 --> 07:54:48,564
issues I might defer to

15894
07:54:48,564 --> 07:54:50,964
the city attorney's office.

15895
07:54:54,203 --> 07:54:54,503
Okay, sure.

15896
07:54:54,503 --> 07:54:56,503
Yes.

15897
07:55:00,242 --> 07:55:00,876
This type of change would need

15898
07:55:00,876 --> 07:55:01,343
to go through the meeting

15899
07:55:01,343 --> 07:55:03,343
confer process.

15900
07:55:06,515 --> 07:55:07,149
i would also like to add that

15901
07:55:07,149 --> 07:55:07,817
although the charter gives

15902
07:55:07,817 --> 07:55:08,551
the Council the authority to

15903
07:55:08,551 --> 07:55:12,151
adopt the budget and make cuts,

15904
07:55:12,188 --> 07:55:12,889
the charter also gives

15905
07:55:12,889 --> 07:55:13,623
the police chief the power and

15906
07:55:13,623 --> 07:55:16,623
authority to operate in control

15907
07:55:17,626 --> 07:55:18,294
of the police department

15908
07:55:18,294 --> 07:55:18,995
subject to applicable rules.

15909
07:55:18,995 --> 07:55:19,695
So those are all things that

15910
07:55:19,695 --> 07:55:22,695
the Council should factor into

15911
07:55:24,400 --> 07:55:26,400
their discussions.

15912
07:55:28,805 --> 07:55:29,405
So for clarification is

15913
07:55:29,405 --> 07:55:31,405
the $375,000 included in

15914
07:55:35,911 --> 07:55:36,311
the current motion or not?

15915
07:55:36,311 --> 07:55:37,800
Yes.

15916
07:55:37,800 --> 07:55:40,800
She made COUNCILMAN Moreno made

15917
07:55:41,684 --> 07:55:42,384
the amendment and make her

15918
07:55:42,384 --> 07:55:42,652
the motion in the second set.

15919
07:55:42,652 --> 07:55:43,219
Yes.

15920
07:55:43,219 --> 07:55:45,619
Somebody else part of

15921
07:55:46,656 --> 07:55:46,956
the motion Now.

15922
07:55:46,956 --> 07:55:47,724
Okay.

15923
07:55:47,724 --> 07:55:48,391
And then that decision is then

15924
07:55:48,391 --> 07:55:51,391
up to the police department

15925
07:55:52,462 --> 07:55:53,196
after the meeting confer

15926
07:55:53,196 --> 07:55:53,530
the police chief under the city

15927
07:55:53,530 --> 07:55:55,530
charter.

15928
07:55:58,101 --> 07:55:58,468
Yes.

15929
07:55:58,468 --> 07:55:58,768
Okay.

15930
07:55:58,768 --> 07:55:59,836
Okay.

15931
07:55:59,836 --> 07:56:04,360
So thank you very much And I

15932
07:56:04,908 --> 07:56:05,341
appreciate that that

15933
07:56:05,341 --> 07:56:06,109
clarification.

15934
07:56:06,109 --> 07:56:10,309
I was on the lights because I

15935
07:56:10,747 --> 07:56:11,614
wanted to say a few words about

15936
07:56:11,614 --> 07:56:15,214
our budget that it is our

15937
07:56:17,453 --> 07:56:18,188
responsible body to balance

15938
07:56:18,188 --> 07:56:18,755
the budget unlike last year and

15939
07:56:18,755 --> 07:56:21,755
to ensure that we make

15940
07:56:22,425 --> 07:56:23,126
thoughtful decisions and

15941
07:56:23,126 --> 07:56:23,827
maintain essential services we

15942
07:56:23,827 --> 07:56:26,827
need to deliver core services

15943
07:56:28,331 --> 07:56:29,310
with fiscal discipline.

15944
07:56:29,310 --> 07:56:31,431
We need public safety.

15945
07:56:34,738 --> 07:56:35,471
It is the city's primary

15946
07:56:35,471 --> 07:56:36,139
responsibility to our citizens.

15947
07:56:36,139 --> 07:56:38,539
Our budget decisions should

15948
07:56:40,143 --> 07:56:40,810
continue to support

15949
07:56:40,810 --> 07:56:41,444
the personnel and resources

15950
07:56:41,444 --> 07:56:43,844
necessary to maintain our

15951
07:56:46,490 --> 07:56:46,449
police, fire, rescue and

15952
07:56:46,449 --> 07:56:47,149
lifeguards.

15953
07:56:47,149 --> 07:56:47,750
I support keeping smart street

15954
07:56:47,750 --> 07:56:50,150
lights and license plate

15955
07:56:52,389 --> 07:56:53,890
readers through this particular

15956
07:56:53,890 --> 07:56:56,689
contract until it is over and

15957
07:56:58,428 --> 07:56:58,895
then hopefully we can find a

15958
07:56:58,895 --> 07:56:59,596
better provider.

15959
07:56:59,596 --> 07:57:00,196
At the time this contract was

15960
07:57:00,196 --> 07:57:03,196
made there was only one

15961
07:57:04,534 --> 07:57:05,235
provider that provided both and

15962
07:57:05,235 --> 07:57:05,568
that's why it was a single

15963
07:57:05,568 --> 07:57:07,568
source.

15964
07:57:10,307 --> 07:57:11,410
These are common sense tools

15965
07:57:11,410 --> 07:57:11,741
that help our police officers

15966
07:57:11,741 --> 07:57:14,741
do their jobs more effectively

15967
07:57:16,612 --> 07:57:17,313
and keep our community safe.

15968
07:57:17,313 --> 07:57:17,914
These technologies have helped

15969
07:57:17,914 --> 07:57:18,515
locate missing children,

15970
07:57:18,515 --> 07:57:21,515
seniors and have led to

15971
07:57:22,819 --> 07:57:23,186
the arrest of very serious

15972
07:57:23,186 --> 07:57:25,186
criminals.

15973
07:57:27,257 --> 07:57:27,958
They have supported 792

15974
07:57:27,958 --> 07:57:28,591
investigations, recovered $7.5

15975
07:57:28,591 --> 07:57:28,892
million in stolen property

15976
07:57:28,892 --> 07:57:30,892
lives.

15977
07:57:34,290 --> 07:57:36,429
The recovery of 580 stolen

15978
07:57:38,668 --> 07:57:39,436
vehicles contributed to 20%

15979
07:57:39,436 --> 07:57:43,360
reduction in auto theft in our

15980
07:57:44,641 --> 07:57:45,308
city in just the past year.

15981
07:57:45,308 --> 07:57:45,976
And I want our police

15982
07:57:45,976 --> 07:57:46,510
department continues to face

15983
07:57:46,510 --> 07:57:48,510
staffing challenges.

15984
07:57:50,614 --> 07:57:51,414
It simply does not make sense

15985
07:57:51,414 --> 07:57:52,150
to take away tools that are

15986
07:57:52,150 --> 07:57:54,415
helping solve crimes and

15987
07:57:56,520 --> 07:57:57,187
protect San Diego and we should

15988
07:57:57,187 --> 07:57:57,888
continue also supporting our

15989
07:57:57,888 --> 07:58:00,888
arts and culture community as

15990
07:58:03,920 --> 07:58:03,727
we have done these investments

15991
07:58:03,727 --> 07:58:04,361
strengthen neighborhoods,

15992
07:58:04,361 --> 07:58:06,761
support local jobs, drive

15993
07:58:09,299 --> 07:58:09,800
tourism and economic activity

15994
07:58:09,800 --> 07:58:10,633
across the city.

15995
07:58:10,633 --> 07:58:14,233
The arts feed our souls but

15996
07:58:16,406 --> 07:58:16,707
also provides revenue for our

15997
07:58:16,707 --> 07:58:17,307
city.

15998
07:58:17,307 --> 07:58:19,307
The restoration of

15999
07:58:21,378 --> 07:58:22,790
the stormwater clearance

16000
07:58:22,790 --> 07:58:25,790
measures is very important was

16001
07:58:27,351 --> 07:58:28,850
requested by our fire chief and

16002
07:58:28,850 --> 07:58:28,786
it is most welcome especially

16003
07:58:28,786 --> 07:58:31,786
given the climate changes that

16004
07:58:33,157 --> 07:58:33,857
indicate we MAY have to face

16005
07:58:33,857 --> 07:58:36,857
huge rainstorms in this coming

16006
07:58:40,640 --> 07:58:40,798
year And so therefore I want to

16007
07:58:40,798 --> 07:58:41,498
thank you for the second motion

16008
07:58:41,498 --> 07:58:41,866
and amendments and I will vote

16009
07:58:41,866 --> 07:58:43,866
in favor.

16010
07:58:45,970 --> 07:58:46,370
Thank you all right.

16011
07:58:46,370 --> 07:58:47,104
Thank you.

16012
07:58:47,104 --> 07:58:47,705
COUNCILMAN Campbell, go back to

16013
07:58:47,705 --> 07:58:48,710
Councilmember Camp you.

16014
07:58:48,710 --> 07:58:50,710
Thank you.

16015
07:58:52,409 --> 07:58:53,177
Council PRESIDENT.

16016
07:58:53,177 --> 07:58:56,177
Just an issue of housekeeping

16017
07:58:56,580 --> 07:58:57,281
of the revise on page 12 there

16018
07:58:57,281 --> 07:58:59,681
there's still $2.4 million in

16019
07:59:01,218 --> 07:59:01,819
expenses associated with the 72

16020
07:59:01,819 --> 07:59:02,419
bed shelter expansion at

16021
07:59:02,419 --> 07:59:04,419
veteran building veteran

16022
07:59:06,757 --> 07:59:07,424
village San Diego last year

16023
07:59:07,424 --> 07:59:07,992
from the Housing Commission,

16024
07:59:07,992 --> 07:59:08,625
bsd is no longer being

16025
07:59:08,625 --> 07:59:11,250
considered for the funding

16026
07:59:12,630 --> 07:59:13,330
because it's a different site

16027
07:59:13,330 --> 07:59:13,998
is currently being identified

16028
07:59:13,998 --> 07:59:17,968
and we have a little bit of

16029
07:59:17,968 --> 07:59:18,669
clarity on that piece and

16030
07:59:18,669 --> 07:59:19,303
exactly what it means There's

16031
07:59:19,303 --> 07:59:22,303
that revised site has been

16032
07:59:25,176 --> 07:59:25,976
abandoned and we're looking for

16033
07:59:25,976 --> 07:59:26,744
a completely different place to

16034
07:59:26,744 --> 07:59:30,915
put that money comes more if I

16035
07:59:30,915 --> 07:59:31,682
MAY or I'm here.

16036
07:59:31,682 --> 07:59:32,382
Yes, 72 bed shelter would be

16037
07:59:32,382 --> 07:59:34,782
funded with opioid settlement

16038
07:59:35,952 --> 07:59:36,720
funds which are obviously very

16039
07:59:36,720 --> 07:59:40,320
restricted And we are under our

16040
07:59:41,358 --> 07:59:41,992
negotiations with the Senior

16041
07:59:41,992 --> 07:59:42,726
Housing Commission working

16042
07:59:42,726 --> 07:59:45,726
towards an opportunity for that

16043
07:59:48,766 --> 07:59:49,467
shelter irrespective of

16044
07:59:49,467 --> 07:59:49,833
the veteran's vote to give us.

16045
07:59:49,833 --> 07:59:50,601
>> Okay.

16046
07:59:50,601 --> 07:59:53,738
Does that mean that I just want

16047
07:59:53,738 --> 07:59:54,638
to very clear veterans villages

16048
07:59:54,638 --> 07:59:55,306
any ago is no longer the site

16049
07:59:55,306 --> 07:59:55,906
where we're looking to spend

16050
07:59:55,906 --> 07:59:58,306
that opioid So mainly

16051
07:59:59,910 --> 08:00:00,645
the senior Housing Commission

16052
08:00:00,645 --> 08:00:01,446
who I believe is there with you

16053
08:00:01,446 --> 08:00:05,460
today did release and ask you

16054
08:00:05,783 --> 08:00:06,483
for opportunities for folks to

16055
08:00:06,483 --> 08:00:07,150
provide options to us if they

16056
08:00:07,150 --> 08:00:10,150
did not provide it to

16057
08:00:11,956 --> 08:00:12,690
the Housing Commission that

16058
08:00:12,690 --> 08:00:13,570
they would not be considered at

16059
08:00:13,570 --> 08:00:13,390
this time.

16060
08:00:13,390 --> 08:00:15,390
>> Okay.

16061
08:00:17,261 --> 08:00:18,196
Thank you for that clarity.

16062
08:00:18,196 --> 08:00:22,396
I want to touch base on one

16063
08:00:23,935 --> 08:00:24,802
item related to public safety.

16064
08:00:24,802 --> 08:00:28,402
It was not discussed much over

16065
08:00:29,707 --> 08:00:30,374
the last few days or weeks but

16066
08:00:30,374 --> 08:00:32,774
it's something that because

16067
08:00:33,544 --> 08:00:34,278
I've done the ride along with

16068
08:00:34,278 --> 08:00:34,946
Firehouse one really matters to

16069
08:00:34,946 --> 08:00:35,780
me the bomb squad And I know

16070
08:00:35,780 --> 08:00:39,380
that right now we're moving to

16071
08:00:39,956 --> 08:00:40,652
cross staffing for that under

16072
08:00:40,652 --> 08:00:41,319
the current proposal you know

16073
08:00:41,319 --> 08:00:44,319
knowing that that's the only

16074
08:00:46,124 --> 08:00:46,824
team that's dedicated to

16075
08:00:46,824 --> 08:00:47,524
addressing bomb threats in our

16076
08:00:47,524 --> 08:00:48,226
city's public city's response

16077
08:00:48,226 --> 08:00:50,626
whether it's schools, clinics,

16078
08:00:52,430 --> 08:00:53,197
wherever it comes in from.

16079
08:00:53,197 --> 08:00:53,798
I know that for many years

16080
08:00:53,798 --> 08:00:54,532
those were crossed out.

16081
08:00:54,532 --> 08:00:58,202
I know that now it looks like

16082
08:00:58,202 --> 08:00:58,903
we're going back to it.

16083
08:00:58,903 --> 08:00:59,570
That's something in the future

16084
08:00:59,570 --> 08:01:03,741
I want us to move away from

16085
08:01:03,741 --> 08:01:04,409
because of the burnout that we

16086
08:01:04,409 --> 08:01:07,409
heard from our officers, our

16087
08:01:07,911 --> 08:01:08,279
firefighters and local one 45

16088
08:01:08,279 --> 08:01:08,913
yesterday.

16089
08:01:08,913 --> 08:01:09,414
And so I will continue to

16090
08:01:09,414 --> 08:01:11,414
advocate for that.

16091
08:01:13,818 --> 08:01:14,686
But knowing that that hasn't

16092
08:01:14,686 --> 08:01:15,420
come up as a majority item I

16093
08:01:15,420 --> 08:01:15,887
know that that's unlikely to be

16094
08:01:15,887 --> 08:01:17,887
accepted today.

16095
08:01:19,858 --> 08:01:20,491
The last thing I wanted to

16096
08:01:20,491 --> 08:01:23,491
point out because we're at

16097
08:01:24,863 --> 08:01:25,530
the end of this item something

16098
08:01:25,530 --> 08:01:26,970
that everything we've talked

16099
08:01:26,970 --> 08:01:26,698
about today is really

16100
08:01:26,698 --> 08:01:27,332
downstream at the end of

16101
08:01:27,332 --> 08:01:30,332
the process and we haven't

16102
08:01:31,402 --> 08:01:32,350
taken too much time to talk

16103
08:01:32,350 --> 08:01:34,435
about the upstream issues

16104
08:01:36,808 --> 08:01:37,442
especially since there is a

16105
08:01:37,442 --> 08:01:38,142
budget structure, a budget

16106
08:01:38,142 --> 08:01:38,710
deficit that is persisting And

16107
08:01:38,710 --> 08:01:41,110
that's because the way

16108
08:01:43,314 --> 08:01:43,915
the problem is actually

16109
08:01:43,915 --> 08:01:44,616
presented to us through

16110
08:01:44,616 --> 08:01:45,315
the budget cycle it's actually

16111
08:01:45,315 --> 08:01:45,884
focusing on the thing right in

16112
08:01:45,884 --> 08:01:48,884
front of us instead of

16113
08:01:49,454 --> 08:01:50,880
something that hasn't been

16114
08:01:50,880 --> 08:01:50,788
dealt with for many years.

16115
08:01:50,788 --> 08:01:51,423
We take what we had last year,

16116
08:01:51,423 --> 08:01:54,626
we review it, we see what

16117
08:01:54,626 --> 08:01:55,327
didn't work, what worked, what

16118
08:01:55,327 --> 08:01:55,960
obligations we have and that's

16119
08:01:55,960 --> 08:01:56,661
all appropriate analysis.

16120
08:01:56,661 --> 08:02:00,261
But one thing I see frequently

16121
08:02:00,531 --> 08:02:01,166
is that the job roles and

16122
08:02:01,166 --> 08:02:01,866
the procedures within our

16123
08:02:01,866 --> 08:02:02,133
departments it remains decades

16124
08:02:02,133 --> 08:02:04,133
old.

16125
08:02:05,903 --> 08:02:06,705
We have maintained buildings

16126
08:02:06,705 --> 08:02:07,439
but we also have to maintain

16127
08:02:07,439 --> 08:02:08,139
our approach to the delivery of

16128
08:02:08,139 --> 08:02:11,139
public services and those job

16129
08:02:11,943 --> 08:02:12,476
roles are overly complicated at

16130
08:02:12,476 --> 08:02:13,211
this moment The job

16131
08:02:13,211 --> 08:02:13,845
descriptions are very outdated,

16132
08:02:13,845 --> 08:02:16,245
the performance plans are

16133
08:02:17,820 --> 08:02:17,782
outdated as well and more than

16134
08:02:17,782 --> 08:02:18,483
anything there's just too much

16135
08:02:18,483 --> 08:02:19,840
inflexibility to do new things

16136
08:02:19,840 --> 08:02:21,484
that the public expects.

16137
08:02:23,856 --> 08:02:24,590
That's actually we're one of

16138
08:02:24,590 --> 08:02:25,290
the reasons why there's so many

16139
08:02:25,290 --> 08:02:25,957
middle managers that grew over

16140
08:02:25,957 --> 08:02:28,827
the last several decades not

16141
08:02:28,827 --> 08:02:29,393
because we didn't want to do

16142
08:02:29,393 --> 08:02:30,128
better or cheat more.

16143
08:02:30,128 --> 08:02:30,862
It's because we didn't actually

16144
08:02:30,862 --> 08:02:34,990
fix a systemic problem which is

16145
08:02:34,990 --> 08:02:34,766
job descriptions and duties did

16146
08:02:34,766 --> 08:02:35,467
not evolve and thus the jobs

16147
08:02:35,467 --> 08:02:36,101
did not evolve And that hurts

16148
08:02:36,101 --> 08:02:39,101
all of our workers whether

16149
08:02:39,571 --> 08:02:40,272
they're supervisors or they're

16150
08:02:40,272 --> 08:02:40,906
unionized members supervisors

16151
08:02:40,906 --> 08:02:44,506
can't that they have to do

16152
08:02:45,110 --> 08:02:45,811
their job anymore while

16153
08:02:45,811 --> 08:02:46,545
represented workers can't grow

16154
08:02:46,545 --> 08:02:46,945
and display the full breadth of

16155
08:02:46,945 --> 08:02:48,945
their skill.

16156
08:02:50,150 --> 08:02:50,715
That's a very detailed and

16157
08:02:50,715 --> 08:02:51,416
descriptive way of saying that

16158
08:02:51,416 --> 08:02:52,116
our constituents feel this one

16159
08:02:52,116 --> 08:02:55,716
question every day Why does it

16160
08:02:56,221 --> 08:02:56,620
take so long to get things done

16161
08:02:56,620 --> 08:02:57,322
around here?

16162
08:02:57,322 --> 08:02:57,655
It's not all about funding and

16163
08:02:57,655 --> 08:02:58,290
budget.

16164
08:02:58,290 --> 08:03:00,690
It's actually the internal

16165
08:03:01,994 --> 08:03:02,661
structure that we actually have

16166
08:03:02,661 --> 08:03:03,395
our workforce working under

16167
08:03:03,395 --> 08:03:06,395
because our employees have very

16168
08:03:07,599 --> 08:03:08,333
high workloads, limited time

16169
08:03:08,333 --> 08:03:09,100
And so the incentive is to work

16170
08:03:09,100 --> 08:03:12,100
very, very hard every single

16171
08:03:13,138 --> 08:03:13,772
day but not be able to see how

16172
08:03:13,772 --> 08:03:14,472
to transform their job and

16173
08:03:14,472 --> 08:03:15,173
transform the department over

16174
08:03:15,173 --> 08:03:18,773
the long term which is another

16175
08:03:19,111 --> 08:03:19,811
way of saying modernize it to

16176
08:03:19,811 --> 08:03:20,546
2026 And within the supervisor

16177
08:03:20,546 --> 08:03:23,546
ranks specifically we have very

16178
08:03:23,882 --> 08:03:24,583
skilled employees program

16179
08:03:24,583 --> 08:03:25,217
coordinators, program managers

16180
08:03:25,217 --> 08:03:27,617
They were often unionized

16181
08:03:29,721 --> 08:03:30,522
workers who we wanted to keep

16182
08:03:30,522 --> 08:03:31,156
on and they took over these

16183
08:03:31,156 --> 08:03:33,156
supervisory role positions

16184
08:03:35,600 --> 08:03:35,727
created literally to keep them

16185
08:03:35,727 --> 08:03:36,394
in place particularly since

16186
08:03:36,394 --> 08:03:37,950
there was a wage freeze for

16187
08:03:37,950 --> 08:03:40,566
most city employees for over a

16188
08:03:40,566 --> 08:03:41,433
decade.

16189
08:03:41,433 --> 08:03:42,340
But today we now see less

16190
08:03:42,340 --> 08:03:42,701
accountability in those

16191
08:03:42,701 --> 08:03:45,101
specific roles What they're

16192
08:03:45,771 --> 08:03:46,271
doing No one's tracking that in

16193
08:03:46,271 --> 08:03:46,871
a detailed way.

16194
08:03:46,871 --> 08:03:47,606
So the discussion about

16195
08:03:47,606 --> 08:03:51,206
the budget and the distrust and

16196
08:03:51,310 --> 08:03:52,177
the questions about why things

16197
08:03:52,177 --> 08:03:52,878
are set to be cut that's all

16198
08:03:52,878 --> 08:03:55,878
downstream and it matters And

16199
08:03:56,748 --> 08:03:57,449
it's the reason we're having

16200
08:03:57,449 --> 08:03:58,500
the same conversation over and

16201
08:03:58,500 --> 08:03:58,584
over again is because of

16202
08:03:58,584 --> 08:03:59,180
the upstream lack of

16203
08:03:59,180 --> 08:04:01,180
modernization.

16204
08:04:02,421 --> 08:04:03,880
We need to have our personnel

16205
08:04:03,880 --> 08:04:03,755
department and Civil Service

16206
08:04:03,755 --> 08:04:04,355
Commission truly analyze job

16207
08:04:04,355 --> 08:04:05,900
roles and job duties in

16208
08:04:05,900 --> 08:04:08,930
the city so that the council in

16209
08:04:08,930 --> 08:04:08,761
the mayor's office and our

16210
08:04:08,761 --> 08:04:09,461
barrios, our city unions can

16211
08:04:09,461 --> 08:04:11,861
together pinpoint which roles

16212
08:04:13,532 --> 08:04:14,266
need to be adjusted, maximize

16213
08:04:14,266 --> 08:04:14,966
productivity and accountability

16214
08:04:14,966 --> 08:04:15,634
And when it's done right city

16215
08:04:15,634 --> 08:04:19,234
employees will be able to do

16216
08:04:19,304 --> 08:04:20,105
the thing they do best in which

16217
08:04:20,105 --> 08:04:20,739
they do what they love to do

16218
08:04:20,739 --> 08:04:21,340
which is serve the public.

16219
08:04:21,340 --> 08:04:24,340
I think we'll have that

16220
08:04:24,510 --> 08:04:25,244
discussion the another day.

16221
08:04:25,244 --> 08:04:25,611
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

16222
08:04:25,611 --> 08:04:26,345
All right.

16223
08:04:26,345 --> 08:04:27,460
Thank you, Councilmember Campo.

16224
08:04:27,460 --> 08:04:30,460
We'll go back to Councilmember

16225
08:04:30,349 --> 08:04:31,160
Bumper.

16226
08:04:31,160 --> 08:04:31,750
Thank you very much.

16227
08:04:31,750 --> 08:04:32,451
And I second what councilor can

16228
08:04:32,451 --> 08:04:35,451
be said about modernizing our

16229
08:04:35,554 --> 08:04:36,255
personnel department and

16230
08:04:36,255 --> 08:04:36,922
getting technology in the city

16231
08:04:36,922 --> 08:04:37,623
we can actually utilize them

16232
08:04:37,623 --> 08:04:40,623
from Our department was using

16233
08:04:41,593 --> 08:04:42,294
horrible software for their

16234
08:04:42,294 --> 08:04:42,962
billing until recently So I'm

16235
08:04:42,962 --> 08:04:43,262
glad that that is all being

16236
08:04:43,262 --> 08:04:43,896
fixed.

16237
08:04:43,896 --> 08:04:44,563
I do have a question about

16238
08:04:44,563 --> 08:04:45,297
the amendment of the motion

16239
08:04:45,297 --> 08:04:49,497
though If you could bring it up

16240
08:04:56,676 --> 08:04:57,543
on the screen please.

16241
08:04:57,543 --> 08:05:00,543
I'm so sorry that Catherine

16242
08:05:01,247 --> 08:05:01,614
Marino made over 12.

16243
08:05:01,614 --> 08:05:03,614
Okay.

16244
08:05:07,153 --> 08:05:07,586
So my eyes are going to get a

16245
08:05:07,586 --> 08:05:08,254
little better.

16246
08:05:08,254 --> 08:05:08,921
So I am very supportive of

16247
08:05:08,921 --> 08:05:11,321
including the graffiti unit

16248
08:05:12,158 --> 08:05:12,824
supervisor and the six

16249
08:05:12,824 --> 08:05:13,292
registration supervisor back

16250
08:05:13,292 --> 08:05:15,292
into the budget.

16251
08:05:16,829 --> 08:05:17,530
My question is just that

16252
08:05:17,530 --> 08:05:18,197
the two unit are two police

16253
08:05:18,197 --> 08:05:21,197
officers per car how that's

16254
08:05:23,769 --> 08:05:24,470
going to be deployed Because in

16255
08:05:24,470 --> 08:05:25,104
my district we only have four

16256
08:05:25,104 --> 08:05:25,838
cars that go out sometime

16257
08:05:25,838 --> 08:05:29,438
actually four by two and kids

16258
08:05:30,900 --> 08:05:30,409
all the way from Mesa all up to

16259
08:05:30,409 --> 08:05:32,277
San Pascal.

16260
08:05:32,277 --> 08:05:33,790
We have four cars that will

16261
08:05:33,790 --> 08:05:33,846
territories If you put two at

16262
08:05:33,846 --> 08:05:37,500
one time or 12 hour shift where

16263
08:05:37,500 --> 08:05:37,817
there's only one car, four cans

16264
08:05:37,817 --> 08:05:38,184
just to get one car from my

16265
08:05:38,184 --> 08:05:38,985
district.

16266
08:05:38,985 --> 08:05:42,855
So I just want to were the most

16267
08:05:42,855 --> 08:05:43,222
understaffed districts in

16268
08:05:43,222 --> 08:05:43,956
the city.

16269
08:05:43,956 --> 08:05:44,657
So I just want to make sure

16270
08:05:44,657 --> 08:05:47,627
with the chief that that's not

16271
08:05:47,627 --> 08:05:47,960
going to happen up in our area

16272
08:05:47,960 --> 08:05:48,561
.

16273
08:05:48,561 --> 08:05:49,261
It's just not possible.

16274
08:05:49,261 --> 08:05:49,996
I do understand some officers

16275
08:05:49,996 --> 08:05:50,396
might want to ride impaired and

16276
08:05:50,396 --> 08:05:50,963
that's fine.

16277
08:05:50,963 --> 08:05:53,499
That could cut down on

16278
08:05:53,499 --> 08:05:54,200
distractions and that's fine

16279
08:05:54,200 --> 08:05:54,934
But it should be flexible and

16280
08:05:54,934 --> 08:05:55,568
it should be based on voluntary

16281
08:05:55,568 --> 08:05:58,568
choice is not mandated for

16282
08:06:00,573 --> 08:06:02,573
areas like ours.

16283
08:06:06,512 --> 08:06:07,347
I don't know.

16284
08:06:07,347 --> 08:06:08,470
We'll do our best to try to

16285
08:06:08,470 --> 08:06:10,617
make it work but if it was an

16286
08:06:10,617 --> 08:06:11,384
idea that I thought was a good

16287
08:06:11,384 --> 08:06:11,784
one I would have proposed it

16288
08:06:11,784 --> 08:06:12,385
originally.

16289
08:06:12,385 --> 08:06:15,385
We agree with the aba's

16290
08:06:16,560 --> 08:06:16,656
perspective that this could

16291
08:06:16,656 --> 08:06:18,656
impact response times

16292
08:06:21,661 --> 08:06:22,362
negatively and or increase our

16293
08:06:22,362 --> 08:06:23,620
overtime to make sure that we

16294
08:06:23,620 --> 08:06:25,310
have the proper amount of cars

16295
08:06:25,310 --> 08:06:27,310
in the field.

16296
08:06:28,501 --> 08:06:30,901
We'll do our best.

16297
08:06:35,375 --> 08:06:36,309
>> Okay.

16298
08:06:36,309 --> 08:06:37,760
Well I know we'll have to go to

16299
08:06:37,760 --> 08:06:37,777
meeting Confer but I do want to

16300
08:06:37,777 --> 08:06:40,246
and obviously the police want

16301
08:06:40,246 --> 08:06:40,846
to run but that would be a

16302
08:06:40,846 --> 08:06:41,181
significant hindrance to

16303
08:06:41,181 --> 08:06:43,181
answer.

16304
08:06:45,180 --> 08:06:45,685
No one calls up in our district

16305
08:06:45,685 --> 08:06:46,319
saying we only have two cars

16306
08:06:46,319 --> 08:06:46,753
going out on second watch.

16307
08:06:46,753 --> 08:06:47,530
Understand it.

16308
08:06:47,530 --> 08:06:49,530
Okay.

16309
08:06:53,193 --> 08:06:53,893
Thank you.

16310
08:06:53,893 --> 08:06:54,727
>> Thank you, Councilmember.

16311
08:06:54,727 --> 08:06:57,497
We'll go next to Councilmember

16312
08:06:57,497 --> 08:06:58,231
Whitman.

16313
08:06:58,231 --> 08:07:00,631
Thank you, council PRESIDENT.

16314
08:07:01,735 --> 08:07:02,502
That just gave me a little bit

16315
08:07:02,502 --> 08:07:03,236
of pause there, a little bit

16316
08:07:03,236 --> 08:07:06,236
concerned about the prospect of

16317
08:07:07,741 --> 08:07:08,375
increased response times and

16318
08:07:08,375 --> 08:07:11,375
some of the other concerns

16319
08:07:12,212 --> 08:07:14,612
expressed by the chief.

16320
08:07:17,217 --> 08:07:17,751
I do support the restoration of

16321
08:07:17,751 --> 08:07:18,584
the two supervisors.

16322
08:07:18,584 --> 08:07:22,184
I personally given what we just

16323
08:07:22,923 --> 08:07:25,923
heard from the chief would

16324
08:07:26,226 --> 08:07:26,927
probably prefer to fund that

16325
08:07:26,927 --> 08:07:29,327
from $375,000 out of that

16326
08:07:31,531 --> 08:07:32,198
excess equity rather than from

16327
08:07:32,198 --> 08:07:35,198
the fuel and fleet savings.

16328
08:07:36,736 --> 08:07:37,700
I won't make that as amendment

16329
08:07:37,700 --> 08:07:37,804
.

16330
08:07:37,804 --> 08:07:41,404
We'll see if everybody else of

16331
08:07:42,342 --> 08:07:43,900
the council wants to do that.

16332
08:07:43,900 --> 08:07:43,977
Aside from that one concern

16333
08:07:43,977 --> 08:07:47,380
there, I will say this is a

16334
08:07:47,380 --> 08:07:48,810
reasonable budget that reduces

16335
08:07:48,810 --> 08:07:51,810
the deficit and maintains key

16336
08:07:52,118 --> 08:07:52,986
services.

16337
08:07:52,986 --> 08:07:53,687
I was determined to prevent a

16338
08:07:53,687 --> 08:07:56,687
closure of shelters that would

16339
08:07:57,556 --> 08:07:58,580
force homeless people back out

16340
08:07:58,580 --> 08:07:58,759
onto the streets.

16341
08:07:58,759 --> 08:08:01,759
This budget ensures that that

16342
08:08:02,429 --> 08:08:03,960
won't happen But fortunately

16343
08:08:03,960 --> 08:08:03,763
this budget does not provide

16344
08:08:03,763 --> 08:08:04,397
additional shelter beds that

16345
08:08:04,397 --> 08:08:07,397
could help more people off

16346
08:08:08,680 --> 08:08:08,836
the streets.

16347
08:08:08,836 --> 08:08:09,202
But at least we're not going

16348
08:08:09,202 --> 08:08:09,936
backwards.

16349
08:08:09,936 --> 08:08:13,536
It is good that we are

16350
08:08:13,807 --> 08:08:14,475
restoring significant funding

16351
08:08:14,475 --> 08:08:15,142
for the arts to be clear but

16352
08:08:15,142 --> 08:08:17,542
really restoring funding for

16353
08:08:19,313 --> 08:08:19,980
people youth will be inspired

16354
08:08:19,980 --> 08:08:20,681
by the arts communities who

16355
08:08:20,681 --> 08:08:23,810
attend free performances that

16356
08:08:23,750 --> 08:08:24,517
they otherwise couldn't afford

16357
08:08:24,517 --> 08:08:25,218
workers who are employed by

16358
08:08:25,218 --> 08:08:25,918
the arts and all of us who

16359
08:08:25,918 --> 08:08:28,918
benefit from the revenue that

16360
08:08:28,922 --> 08:08:29,289
is generated by visitor

16361
08:08:29,289 --> 08:08:29,990
spending.

16362
08:08:29,990 --> 08:08:32,990
The restoration of the special

16363
08:08:34,194 --> 08:08:34,695
events filming program ed is

16364
08:08:34,695 --> 08:08:35,462
good for our city.

16365
08:08:35,462 --> 08:08:38,462
This program at position helps

16366
08:08:39,466 --> 08:08:40,200
to attract and coordinate

16367
08:08:40,200 --> 08:08:40,934
movies being filmed in our city

16368
08:08:40,934 --> 08:08:43,934
and commercials being filmed in

16369
08:08:44,772 --> 08:08:45,206
our city That is great exposure

16370
08:08:45,206 --> 08:08:47,206
for San Diego.

16371
08:08:49,209 --> 08:08:49,909
There's a film shoot tomorrow a

16372
08:08:49,909 --> 08:08:50,476
sponsor of the nascar races is

16373
08:08:50,476 --> 08:08:51,144
shooting a promotional

16374
08:08:51,144 --> 08:08:53,544
commercial tomorrow with say

16375
08:08:54,415 --> 08:08:54,882
Diego's downtown skyline in

16376
08:08:54,882 --> 08:08:56,882
the background.

16377
08:08:59,519 --> 08:09:00,220
This budget restores library

16378
08:09:00,220 --> 08:09:00,921
rec center hours and restores

16379
08:09:00,921 --> 08:09:01,255
the Small Business Enhancement

16380
08:09:01,255 --> 08:09:03,255
Program.

16381
08:09:04,425 --> 08:09:05,126
There's funding for

16382
08:09:05,126 --> 08:09:05,893
the multi-modal team the West

16383
08:09:05,893 --> 08:09:08,893
Valley River crossing Many of

16384
08:09:09,697 --> 08:09:10,364
the things that were restored

16385
08:09:10,364 --> 08:09:11,310
in this budget were restored

16386
08:09:11,310 --> 08:09:13,431
because residents engaged in

16387
08:09:14,368 --> 08:09:14,868
this budget process and shared

16388
08:09:14,868 --> 08:09:15,569
their priorities.

16389
08:09:15,569 --> 08:09:19,730
So thank you to everybody who

16390
08:09:19,730 --> 08:09:19,940
participated in this process.

16391
08:09:19,940 --> 08:09:20,541
I do want to thank Budget Chair

16392
08:09:20,541 --> 08:09:23,541
Foster and his team for

16393
08:09:23,811 --> 08:09:24,444
the many hours that they have

16394
08:09:24,444 --> 08:09:25,179
invested in this process.

16395
08:09:25,179 --> 08:09:28,179
Thank you To the opposite

16396
08:09:29,483 --> 08:09:30,840
the independent budget analyst

16397
08:09:30,840 --> 08:09:30,718
Their analysis has been

16398
08:09:30,718 --> 08:09:31,318
invaluable The very public

16399
08:09:31,318 --> 08:09:33,718
hearings that they have

16400
08:09:34,854 --> 08:09:35,556
participated in have helped to

16401
08:09:35,556 --> 08:09:35,890
engage city residents in this

16402
08:09:35,890 --> 08:09:37,890
process.

16403
08:09:39,626 --> 08:09:40,361
I appreciate the council

16404
08:09:40,361 --> 08:09:40,928
PRESIDENT All of my colleagues

16405
08:09:40,928 --> 08:09:41,595
for what has been a

16406
08:09:41,595 --> 08:09:43,595
collaborative and productive

16407
08:09:46,233 --> 08:09:46,734
process at times a process but

16408
08:09:46,734 --> 08:09:48,734
a productive one.

16409
08:09:50,504 --> 08:09:51,204
Thank you to the mayor's office

16410
08:09:51,204 --> 08:09:51,672
for engaging the council early

16411
08:09:51,672 --> 08:09:53,672
in the process.

16412
08:09:54,809 --> 08:09:55,643
I think that was very helpful

16413
08:09:55,643 --> 08:09:56,277
to all of our city departments

16414
08:09:56,277 --> 08:09:59,277
and staff who have worked

16415
08:10:00,147 --> 08:10:00,815
extensively on this budget and

16416
08:10:00,815 --> 08:10:01,416
who have worked extensively

16417
08:10:01,416 --> 08:10:04,416
with us And I appreciate

16418
08:10:05,318 --> 08:10:05,886
the city Attorney's office for

16419
08:10:05,886 --> 08:10:06,553
their legal analysis.

16420
08:10:06,553 --> 08:10:09,690
And last but not least thank

16421
08:10:09,690 --> 08:10:10,391
you to my staff Every member of

16422
08:10:10,391 --> 08:10:11,250
my team has helped out either

16423
08:10:11,250 --> 08:10:13,425
through policy analysis or

16424
08:10:14,962 --> 08:10:15,696
through public engagement.

16425
08:10:15,696 --> 08:10:16,296
A lot of people have been

16426
08:10:16,296 --> 08:10:16,631
involved in this budget

16427
08:10:16,631 --> 08:10:17,331
process.

16428
08:10:17,331 --> 08:10:19,834
So thanks to all of you Again,

16429
08:10:19,834 --> 08:10:20,568
I think we have a reasonable

16430
08:10:20,568 --> 08:10:21,268
budget that reduces the deficit

16431
08:10:21,268 --> 08:10:24,268
and maintains key services and

16432
08:10:25,720 --> 08:10:25,773
I will be in support.

16433
08:10:25,773 --> 08:10:26,140
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

16434
08:10:26,140 --> 08:10:26,741
All right.

16435
08:10:26,741 --> 08:10:27,108
Thank you, Councilmember

16436
08:10:27,108 --> 08:10:29,108
Whitburn.

16437
08:10:29,777 --> 08:10:30,178
Not see anybody else on

16438
08:10:30,178 --> 08:10:32,178
the lights.

16439
08:10:34,915 --> 08:10:35,650
A few closing comments for five

16440
08:10:35,650 --> 08:10:37,952
of us This is the sixth budget

16441
08:10:37,952 --> 08:10:38,285
cycle that we're going through

16442
08:10:38,285 --> 08:10:39,190
.

16443
08:10:39,190 --> 08:10:42,619
I think every year the process

16444
08:10:43,758 --> 08:10:44,492
has gotten better through

16445
08:10:44,492 --> 08:10:46,492
Monica montgomery's leadership.

16446
08:10:48,696 --> 08:10:49,130
>> Now Councilmember Fosters

16447
08:10:49,130 --> 08:10:50,640
leadership.

16448
08:10:50,640 --> 08:10:53,668
I think we have a city, a big

16449
08:10:53,668 --> 08:10:54,435
city still have a long way to

16450
08:10:54,435 --> 08:10:54,969
go to really figure out how to

16451
08:10:54,969 --> 08:10:57,369
dig deep on budget.

16452
08:10:58,505 --> 08:10:59,206
The budget is so big and so

16453
08:10:59,206 --> 08:10:59,907
complex and there are so many

16454
08:10:59,907 --> 08:11:02,307
buckets of expenditures and

16455
08:11:03,377 --> 08:11:03,745
funding that it makes it a

16456
08:11:03,745 --> 08:11:04,379
challenge.

16457
08:11:04,379 --> 08:11:06,379
I appreciate Councilmember

16458
08:11:08,449 --> 08:11:09,820
Foster's work on zero based

16459
08:11:09,820 --> 08:11:09,916
budgeting on contracting.

16460
08:11:09,916 --> 08:11:13,722
I would be curious to see how

16461
08:11:13,722 --> 08:11:14,489
that manifests itself going

16462
08:11:14,489 --> 08:11:16,889
forward and I appreciate

16463
08:11:18,358 --> 08:11:19,600
the double work that you and

16464
08:11:19,600 --> 08:11:22,564
your office took to come up

16465
08:11:22,564 --> 08:11:23,597
with a updated motion.

16466
08:11:23,597 --> 08:11:27,197
>> One of the pieces that were

16467
08:11:28,360 --> 08:11:31,360
eliminated in this update of

16468
08:11:31,706 --> 08:11:32,373
motion was not funding all

16469
08:11:32,373 --> 08:11:34,773
reduced hours and recreation

16470
08:11:37,110 --> 08:11:37,712
centers on Friday my team and I

16471
08:11:37,712 --> 08:11:40,712
introduced the possible use of

16472
08:11:41,483 --> 08:11:42,350
Recreation Center fund balances

16473
08:11:42,350 --> 08:11:43,151
as a way to restore recreation

16474
08:11:43,151 --> 08:11:46,751
center hours an idea that has

16475
08:11:47,222 --> 08:11:47,888
generally been vetted by

16476
08:11:47,888 --> 08:11:48,456
the ipa Parks and Recreation

16477
08:11:48,456 --> 08:11:51,456
And I believe the city

16478
08:11:51,593 --> 08:11:52,293
Attorney's office.

16479
08:11:52,293 --> 08:11:54,693
However, it became quite

16480
08:11:55,864 --> 08:11:56,531
apparent to me on Friday that

16481
08:11:56,531 --> 08:11:57,332
introducing something so new

16482
08:11:57,332 --> 08:12:00,932
and so novel and that would

16483
08:12:01,202 --> 08:12:01,869
have been a fundamental policy

16484
08:12:01,869 --> 08:12:04,869
call was not appropriate for

16485
08:12:05,774 --> 08:12:06,408
this budget conversation in

16486
08:12:06,408 --> 08:12:09,408
this short amount of time.

16487
08:12:10,245 --> 08:12:10,912
However, I understand

16488
08:12:10,912 --> 08:12:11,546
the Department MAY introduce

16489
08:12:11,546 --> 08:12:14,546
this to the individual rec

16490
08:12:14,849 --> 08:12:15,516
councils as an option for them

16491
08:12:15,516 --> 08:12:18,516
to restore hours as they

16492
08:12:20,154 --> 08:12:20,856
balance restoring hours funding

16493
08:12:20,856 --> 08:12:21,555
programs, funding repairs but

16494
08:12:21,555 --> 08:12:24,759
that is a choice they can make

16495
08:12:24,759 --> 08:12:25,393
on a recreation center by a

16496
08:12:25,393 --> 08:12:26,940
recreation center balance.

16497
08:12:26,940 --> 08:12:29,531
But we MAY have another option

16498
08:12:29,531 --> 08:12:30,231
on the table as Charles would

16499
08:12:30,231 --> 08:12:30,999
remind us, that probably does

16500
08:12:30,999 --> 08:12:34,402
qualify as a one time option

16501
08:12:34,402 --> 08:12:34,736
not a ongoing option going

16502
08:12:34,736 --> 08:12:36,736
forward.

16503
08:12:39,240 --> 08:12:39,574
We'll see if and when that goes

16504
08:12:39,574 --> 08:12:40,208
forward.

16505
08:12:40,208 --> 08:12:42,208
But I appreciate

16506
08:12:43,812 --> 08:12:44,678
the thoughtfulness.

16507
08:12:44,678 --> 08:12:45,413
While I'm not a big fan of

16508
08:12:45,413 --> 08:12:47,813
funding individual positions, I

16509
08:12:48,116 --> 08:12:48,817
do respect Councilmember

16510
08:12:48,817 --> 08:12:49,384
Marino's introduction of those

16511
08:12:49,384 --> 08:12:51,384
two positions and

16512
08:12:53,555 --> 08:12:54,256
the thoughtfulness in listening

16513
08:12:54,256 --> 08:12:57,256
to comments to only propose

16514
08:12:58,126 --> 08:12:58,827
half the dollar amount so that

16515
08:12:58,827 --> 08:13:02,427
I can be more strategic about

16516
08:13:02,864 --> 08:13:03,565
when and where the northern

16517
08:13:03,565 --> 08:13:04,266
the folks in the northern part

16518
08:13:04,266 --> 08:13:07,200
of my district would also have

16519
08:13:07,200 --> 08:13:07,869
the same concerns.

16520
08:13:07,869 --> 08:13:11,469
But I also realize and learned

16521
08:13:11,740 --> 08:13:12,374
through this process that

16522
08:13:12,374 --> 08:13:15,374
response time is based on

16523
08:13:16,979 --> 08:13:17,846
the first officer that shows up

16524
08:13:17,846 --> 08:13:18,380
and then you have to wait for

16525
08:13:18,380 --> 08:13:19,214
that second officer.

16526
08:13:19,214 --> 08:13:19,915
I did ride along this as well

16527
08:13:19,915 --> 08:13:22,315
and saw what happened.

16528
08:13:24,786 --> 08:13:25,754
So it's a delicate balance and

16529
08:13:25,754 --> 08:13:29,354
I trust that the chief and

16530
08:13:31,126 --> 08:13:31,727
the department and the way will

16531
08:13:31,727 --> 08:13:34,727
figure that I think I'd

16532
08:13:34,930 --> 08:13:35,664
negotiate a contract So throw

16533
08:13:35,664 --> 08:13:39,264
that into part of the contract.

16534
08:13:39,601 --> 08:13:40,202
Maybe I'm not going to tell you

16535
08:13:40,202 --> 08:13:40,936
how to do your business.

16536
08:13:40,936 --> 08:13:41,737
I'm not authorized to negotiate

16537
08:13:41,737 --> 08:13:44,406
contracts but that seems like a

16538
08:13:44,406 --> 08:13:46,806
real time saving opportunity

16539
08:13:48,744 --> 08:13:49,411
And with that I will be

16540
08:13:49,411 --> 08:13:50,112
supportive of this motion so

16541
08:13:50,112 --> 08:13:53,112
not see anybody else in

16542
08:13:53,816 --> 08:13:54,583
the lights.

16543
08:13:54,583 --> 08:13:55,250
We do have an updated motion

16544
08:13:55,250 --> 08:13:57,650
put forward by Councilmember

16545
08:13:58,530 --> 08:13:58,754
Foster and seconded by

16546
08:13:58,754 --> 08:14:01,754
the Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem

16547
08:14:03,920 --> 08:14:03,526
Lee and amended by Council

16548
08:14:03,526 --> 08:14:04,193
member Marino.

16549
08:14:04,193 --> 08:14:04,860
So unless there's any other

16550
08:14:04,860 --> 08:14:07,860
questions or comments and I

16551
08:14:08,631 --> 08:14:09,331
don't see any.

16552
08:14:09,331 --> 08:14:09,998
>> Please call the roll clerk

16553
08:14:09,998 --> 08:14:13,598
as I read the voting system

16554
08:14:19,775 --> 08:14:20,409
please cast your vote That

16555
08:14:20,409 --> 08:14:20,776
passes unanimously 9 to 0.

16556
08:14:20,776 --> 08:14:22,776
All right.

16557
08:14:24,780 --> 08:14:25,414
Thank you for that.

16558
08:14:25,414 --> 08:14:25,781
Thank you for everybody's

16559
08:14:25,781 --> 08:14:26,248
patience.

16560
08:14:26,248 --> 08:14:28,248
We're not done.

16561
08:14:29,180 --> 08:14:29,886
We still have one book of

16562
08:14:29,886 --> 08:14:33,486
business to finish up here at

16563
08:14:34,123 --> 08:14:34,824
starting at 615.

16564
08:14:34,824 --> 08:14:38,424
With that, the crowd seems to

16565
08:14:39,328 --> 08:14:40,620
be leaving relatively quietly.

16566
08:14:40,620 --> 08:14:43,620
So Clerk please introduce item

16567
08:14:44,660 --> 08:14:44,834
705I didn't know anybody want

16568
08:14:44,834 --> 08:14:47,360
to longer break this a power

16569
08:14:47,360 --> 08:14:49,436
through all right please

16570
08:14:55,611 --> 08:14:56,378

Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

16584
08:15:20,200 --> 08:15:20,770
All right.

16585
08:15:20,770 --> 08:15:21,504
Probably take a little bit of

16586
08:15:21,504 --> 08:15:21,904
time to sit down because we're.

16587
08:15:21,904 --> 08:15:23,904
No, no, no.

the voices to subside and okay.

16591
08:15:46,930 --> 08:15:47,864
>> All right.

16592
08:15:47,864 --> 08:15:51,334
Looks like it's quieted down in

16593
08:15:51,334 --> 08:15:52,101
chambers.

16594
08:15:52,101 --> 08:15:52,835
So when you're ready, introduce

16595
08:15:52,835 --> 08:15:56,435
yourself for the record and let

16596
08:16:05,848 --> 08:16:06,182
us know how much time you need

16597
08:16:06,182 --> 08:16:06,849
.

16598
08:16:06,849 --> 08:16:07,250
I need about ten minutes.

16599
08:16:07,250 --> 08:16:09,250
All right.

16600
08:16:11,454 --> 08:16:12,880
And just like I said, unity

16601
08:16:12,880 --> 08:16:12,388
stuff for the record, make

16602
08:16:12,388 --> 08:16:13,560
sure.

16603
08:16:13,560 --> 08:16:15,224
Thank you again when you're

16604
08:16:15,224 --> 08:16:17,224

We'll start with a quick

16622
08:16:50,994 --> 08:16:51,694
discussion of the Fund, then

16623
08:16:51,694 --> 08:16:52,328

08:16:52,328 --> 08:16:55,328

year 27.

16628
08:17:00,436 --> 08:17:03,436
>> The City of San Diego's

16629
08:17:04,107 --> 08:17:04,741
Affordable Housing Fund is

16630
08:17:04,741 --> 08:17:07,141
composed of two permanent

16631
08:17:09,412 --> 08:17:10,147
annually renewable funding

16632
08:17:10,147 --> 08:17:13,147
sources First the Housing Trust

16633
08:17:14,840 --> 08:17:14,384
Fund which was established in

16634
08:17:14,384 --> 08:17:15,510
1990.

16635
08:17:15,510 --> 08:17:18,510
It consists of revenue from

16636
08:17:19,220 --> 08:17:19,756

16637
08:17:19,756 --> 08:17:20,156

16639
08:17:23,994 --> 08:17:24,594
Second, the inclusionary

16640
08:17:24,594 --> 08:17:25,362
Housing Fund which was

16641
08:17:25,362 --> 08:17:27,762
established in 2003 It consists

16642
08:17:28,698 --> 08:17:29,266

16643
08:17:29,266 --> 08:17:31,666

16644
08:17:33,370 --> 08:17:34,700
development and from then on

has the option to either build

16647
08:17:38,575 --> 08:17:39,309
affordable housing units or pay

16648
08:17:39,309 --> 08:17:42,446
the fees that will be used in

16649
08:17:42,446 --> 08:17:44,846
the creation and preservation

16650
08:17:48,180 --> 08:17:48,585

for both funds.

16654
08:17:53,190 --> 08:17:53,957
The Blue Line represent a

16655
08:17:53,957 --> 08:17:56,957
housing trust fund which hovers

16656
08:18:00,464 --> 08:18:00,964
between $1.2 million and $3.1

16657
08:18:00,964 --> 08:18:01,665
million annually.

16658
08:18:01,665 --> 08:18:04,665
The Red Orange Line represent

16659
08:18:05,869 --> 08:18:06,570
inclusionary fees as you can

16660
08:18:06,570 --> 08:18:08,970

16661
08:18:10,640 --> 08:18:13,400
dramatically in fiscal year 20

16662
08:18:14,311 --> 08:18:16,311
2023 and 2024 Fee collection

16663
08:18:17,447 --> 08:18:18,150
were around $700,000 and $2.9

16664
08:18:18,150 --> 08:18:20,150
million respectively.

16665
08:18:22,186 --> 08:18:23,530
But in fiscal year 2025 because

16666
08:18:23,530 --> 08:18:26,956
of the fees paid by two large

16667
08:18:26,956 --> 08:18:27,557
development project in city

16668
08:18:27,557 --> 08:18:29,957
center and current MISS

16669
08:18:31,428 --> 08:18:31,996
The areas the fee collection

16670
08:18:31,996 --> 08:18:33,996
were $15.8 million.

16671
08:18:36,233 --> 08:18:36,900
Many factors affect collection

16672
08:18:36,900 --> 08:18:37,467
including economic factors,

16673
08:18:37,467 --> 08:18:39,467
development activity,

16674
08:18:41,572 --> 08:18:42,272
the timing of fee collections

16675
08:18:42,272 --> 08:18:43,600
and the number of development

16676
08:18:43,600 --> 08:18:46,600
that choose to build affordable

16677
08:18:46,910 --> 08:18:47,644
housing units rather than pay

16678
08:18:47,644 --> 08:18:50,644
the Affordable housing fund fee

16679
08:18:51,115 --> 08:18:51,782
for the purpose of

16680
08:18:51,782 --> 08:18:54,182
the Affordable Housing Fund

16681
08:18:55,886 --> 08:18:56,553
annual plan and by extension to

16682
08:18:56,553 --> 08:18:57,354
Housing Commission's budget.

16683
08:18:57,354 --> 08:18:59,356
We use an estimate based on a

16684
08:18:59,356 --> 08:19:01,356
historical calculation and

16685
08:19:04,528 --> 08:19:05,262
current collections.

16686
08:19:05,262 --> 08:19:07,662
Since inception, the Affordable

16687
08:19:09,466 --> 08:19:10,167
Housing Fund has assisted was

16688
08:19:10,167 --> 08:19:12,567
the creation and preservation

16689
08:19:13,804 --> 08:19:16,204
of over 10,100 Fordable housing

16690
08:19:17,640 --> 08:19:18,309
units assisted in more more

16691
08:19:18,309 --> 08:19:19,900
than 31 thousands and began

16692
08:19:19,900 --> 08:19:21,900
experiencing homelessness and

16693
08:19:22,513 --> 08:19:24,913
assisted over 410 household to

16694
08:19:27,985 --> 08:19:28,853
become first time homebuyers.

16695
08:19:28,853 --> 08:19:29,520
I will now personal to mare

16696
08:19:29,520 --> 08:19:30,120
will share the model program

16697
08:19:30,120 --> 08:19:32,520
and a proposed funding

16698
08:19:34,958 --> 08:19:35,659
allocations.

16699
08:19:35,659 --> 08:19:38,590
Thanks Crystal Good evening.

16700
08:19:39,463 --> 08:19:40,197
Sorry Good afternoon everyone.

16701
08:19:40,197 --> 08:19:40,764
Affordable housing funds MAY be

16702
08:19:40,764 --> 08:19:42,764
allocated to programs

16703
08:19:44,902 --> 08:19:45,602
identified in the list of model

16704
08:19:45,602 --> 08:19:48,200
programs for fiscal year 2027.

16705
08:19:49,640 --> 08:19:50,307
We propose allocating the funds

16706
08:19:50,307 --> 08:19:50,975
to rental housing finance,

16707
08:19:50,975 --> 08:19:52,975
homelessness activities and

16708
08:19:53,944 --> 08:19:54,545
loans to create accessory

16709
08:19:54,545 --> 08:19:55,212
dwelling units that were

16710
08:19:55,212 --> 08:19:58,212
committed in prior years and

16711
08:19:58,916 --> 08:19:59,650
required to be affordable

16712
08:19:59,650 --> 08:19:59,984
rentals for households with low

16713
08:19:59,984 --> 08:20:00,518
income.

16714
08:20:00,518 --> 08:20:00,917
As part of the plan

16715
08:20:00,917 --> 08:20:02,917
preparation.

16716
08:20:04,155 --> 08:20:04,789
We continue to solicit feedback

16717
08:20:04,789 --> 08:20:05,389
through outreach efforts.

16718
08:20:05,389 --> 08:20:07,789
We made presentations to

16719
08:20:08,392 --> 08:20:09,930

the annual plan and the comment

16731
08:20:28,646 --> 08:20:29,347
period.

16732
08:20:29,347 --> 08:20:32,347
We also emailed households who

16733
08:20:32,817 --> 08:20:33,450
previously participated in a

16734
08:20:33,450 --> 08:20:34,510
survey for the study about

16735
08:20:34,510 --> 08:20:36,510
residential evictions in

16736
08:20:37,889 --> 08:20:38,590
the city of San Diego and

16737
08:20:38,590 --> 08:20:39,570
posted on the agency's social

16738
08:20:39,570 --> 08:20:41,570
media accounts.

16739
08:20:42,660 --> 08:20:43,361
Members of the public were

16740
08:20:43,361 --> 08:20:44,950
invited to provide comments on

16741
08:20:44,950 --> 08:20:47,197
how they thought we should best

16742
08:20:47,197 --> 08:20:47,498
use the Affordable Housing Fund

16743
08:20:47,498 --> 08:20:48,166
funds.

16744
08:20:48,166 --> 08:20:51,166
The comments we received are

16745
08:20:51,469 --> 08:20:51,769
attached to the proposed annual

16746
08:20:51,769 --> 08:20:52,570
plan.

16747
08:20:52,570 --> 08:20:56,140
With that in mind, let's take a

16748
08:20:56,140 --> 08:20:56,473
look at the proposed allocation

16749
08:20:56,473 --> 08:20:58,473
.

16750
08:20:59,944 --> 08:21:00,578
Here you can see the fiscal

16751
08:21:00,578 --> 08:21:01,212
year 2027 proposed funding

16752
08:21:01,212 --> 08:21:03,612
allocation to the various

16753
08:21:05,820 --> 08:21:05,616
programs as compared to

16754
08:21:05,616 --> 08:21:06,160
the fiscal year 2026

16755
08:21:06,160 --> 08:21:08,160
allocation.

16756
08:21:09,954 --> 08:21:10,755
As a reminder, the Affordable

16757
08:21:10,755 --> 08:21:11,422
Housing Fund is only one of

16758
08:21:11,422 --> 08:21:11,989
the multiple funding sources

16759
08:21:11,989 --> 08:21:13,989
the Housing Commission

16760
08:21:14,792 --> 08:21:15,460
administers for housing

16761
08:21:15,460 --> 08:21:15,826
assistance and homelessness

16762
08:21:15,826 --> 08:21:17,826
programs.

16763
08:21:19,464 --> 08:21:20,164
This annual plan includes

16764
08:21:20,164 --> 08:21:20,899
the proposed uses of only

16765
08:21:20,899 --> 08:21:23,899
the Affordable Housing Fund and

16766
08:21:24,100 --> 08:21:24,635
the anticipated outcomes

16767
08:21:24,635 --> 08:21:25,336
associated with the fund.

16768
08:21:25,336 --> 08:21:27,736
The Revised Housing Commission

16769
08:21:28,606 --> 08:21:29,307
budget which is coming out

16770
08:21:29,307 --> 08:21:29,908
shortly, will reflect proposed

16771
08:21:29,908 --> 08:21:32,908
sources and uses for all

16772
08:21:33,745 --> 08:21:37,345
the funds we administer with an

16773
08:21:37,448 --> 08:21:38,116
estimated $37.1 million in fund

16774
08:21:38,116 --> 08:21:38,482
balance and $5.4 million in

16775
08:21:38,482 --> 08:21:40,482
revenues.

16776
08:21:42,120 --> 08:21:42,787
We propose funding

16777
08:21:42,787 --> 08:21:44,787
the following $22.4 million

16778
08:21:47,157 --> 08:21:47,759
towards prior year commitments

16779
08:21:47,759 --> 08:21:48,393
from notices of funding

16780
08:21:48,393 --> 08:21:50,793
availability on notice and

16781
08:21:51,729 --> 08:21:52,162
committed accessory dwelling

16782
08:21:52,162 --> 08:21:52,831
unit loans.

16783
08:21:52,831 --> 08:21:53,698
These are funds that were

16784
08:21:53,698 --> 08:21:56,935
awarded in prior years Some of

16785
08:21:56,935 --> 08:21:57,636
the no for developments have

16786
08:21:57,636 --> 08:21:58,336
received board approval while

16787
08:21:58,336 --> 08:22:01,139
others are in different stages

16788
08:22:01,139 --> 08:22:01,440
of finalizing their funding

16789
08:22:01,440 --> 08:22:02,407
stack.

16790
08:22:02,407 --> 08:22:06,700
In fiscal year 2027 we are also

16791
08:22:06,377 --> 08:22:07,112
allocating $9 million towards a

16792
08:22:07,112 --> 08:22:10,112
new note for additional funding

16793
08:22:10,649 --> 08:22:11,316
sources Besides the Affordable

16794
08:22:11,316 --> 08:22:14,286
Housing Fund, the court will

16795
08:22:14,286 --> 08:22:14,986
make a total of $22 million

16796
08:22:14,986 --> 08:22:15,420
available for the fiscal year

16797
08:22:15,420 --> 08:22:17,420
2027 No fund.

16798
08:22:19,224 --> 08:22:19,891
We also propose allocating $5.8

16799
08:22:19,891 --> 08:22:21,891
million towards homelessness

16800
08:22:23,994 --> 08:22:24,629
programs that include landlord

16801
08:22:24,629 --> 08:22:25,263
engagement prevention and

16802
08:22:25,263 --> 08:22:25,730
diversion and transitional

16803
08:22:25,730 --> 08:22:27,730
housing grants.

16804
08:22:29,568 --> 08:22:30,268
The remaining funds are

16805
08:22:30,268 --> 08:22:31,100
allocated to ongoing capacity

16806
08:22:31,100 --> 08:22:33,100
building program administration

16807
08:22:34,720 --> 08:22:34,739
and some legal fees.

16808
08:22:34,739 --> 08:22:37,139
The Total Affordable Housing

16809
08:22:37,409 --> 08:22:39,809
Fund plan commitments are $39

16810
08:22:40,812 --> 08:22:41,512
million in fiscal year 2027.

16811
08:22:41,512 --> 08:22:43,512
Here's another representation

16812
08:22:45,851 --> 08:22:46,551
of the proposed allocation 78%

16813
08:22:46,551 --> 08:22:47,117
is committed to rental housing

16814
08:22:47,117 --> 08:22:48,287
finance activities for

16815
08:22:48,287 --> 08:22:50,687
the production of affordable

16816
08:22:53,258 --> 08:22:54,126
housing.

16817
08:22:54,126 --> 08:22:54,860
>> Here we can see two examples

16818
08:22:54,860 --> 08:22:57,260

16819
08:22:58,330 --> 08:22:58,897

08:23:54,586 --> 08:23:55,187
I'll just sort of piece it

16848
08:23:55,187 --> 08:23:58,187
together as best I can.

16849
08:23:59,491 --> 08:23:59,858
Um, just did this this

16850
08:23:59,858 --> 08:24:00,659
afternoon.

16851
08:24:00,659 --> 08:24:04,162
I love love that machine back

16852
08:24:04,162 --> 08:24:05,300
there.

16853
08:24:05,300 --> 08:24:07,430
So replaced homelessness with

16854
08:24:09,468 --> 08:24:10,350
housing instability.

16855
08:24:10,350 --> 08:24:12,435
I really like that.

16856
08:24:13,806 --> 08:24:14,406
I love the leap program.

16857
08:24:14,406 --> 08:24:16,406
Landlord Engagement and

16858
08:24:18,811 --> 08:24:19,677
Assistance Program.

16859
08:24:19,677 --> 08:24:23,748
They do that where I live and

16860
08:24:23,748 --> 08:24:24,483
so I have a lot of interaction

16861
08:24:24,483 --> 08:24:25,317
with it and I absolutely

16862
08:24:25,317 --> 08:24:28,520
support it and I really really

16863
08:24:28,520 --> 08:24:29,388
think it works.

16864
08:24:29,388 --> 08:24:32,388
I love the prevention and

16865
08:24:34,227 --> 08:24:34,959
diverse diverse vision program

16866
08:24:34,959 --> 08:24:37,359
Love Flexible spending program.

16867
08:24:39,310 --> 08:24:42,268
Now on the approval end of it

16868
08:24:42,268 --> 08:24:45,571
where the funds were stated to

16869
08:24:45,571 --> 08:24:46,338
be around 39 million and then

16870
08:24:46,338 --> 08:24:49,338
22 million of that had been

16871
08:24:50,509 --> 08:24:51,377
approved in prior years.

16872
08:24:51,377 --> 08:24:52,144
Now I know some of those

16873
08:24:52,144 --> 08:24:55,144
projects can take forever but

16874
08:24:55,347 --> 08:24:59,547
what I don't get is when you

16875
08:24:59,819 --> 08:25:00,753
come back to the next portion

16876
08:25:00,753 --> 08:25:04,353
which is authorized, how do you

16877
08:25:05,291 --> 08:25:06,158
reallocate projects that were

16878
08:25:06,158 --> 08:25:10,696
held up and then you have a new

16879
08:25:10,696 --> 08:25:11,430
batch of project and how do you

16880
08:25:11,430 --> 08:25:11,764
decide who you're going to give

16881
08:25:11,764 --> 08:25:13,764
them to?

16882
08:25:14,799 --> 08:25:15,400
So I don't know if that makes

16883
08:25:15,400 --> 08:25:16,350
sense and I didn't like

16884
08:25:16,350 --> 08:25:19,350
the wording in response to

16885
08:25:20,380 --> 08:25:20,773
market demands.

16886
08:25:20,773 --> 08:25:21,407
I liked in response to

16887
08:25:21,407 --> 08:25:23,807
opportunities but I like

16888
08:25:25,177 --> 08:25:25,912
clarity on market demand.

16889
08:25:25,912 --> 08:25:26,245
Thank you for that concluding

16890
08:25:26,245 --> 08:25:26,913
comment.

16891
08:25:26,913 --> 08:25:29,913
Natalie Raskin are you here?

16892
08:25:30,116 --> 08:25:32,116
Natalie Rash Here.

16893
08:25:34,353 --> 08:25:35,200
I do not see her Dan In Are you

16894
08:25:35,200 --> 08:25:38,620
here if you wanted to speak.

16895
08:25:44,130 --> 08:25:45,970
Max Schmidt Um hi.

16896
08:25:45,970 --> 08:25:45,698
I just want to say that I kind

16897
08:25:45,698 --> 08:25:48,234
of wish you had a longer

16898
08:25:48,234 --> 08:25:49,201
microphone for how tall I am or

16899
08:25:49,201 --> 08:25:49,469
at least a chair I can sit down

16900
08:25:49,469 --> 08:25:51,469
on.

16901
08:25:53,206 --> 08:25:53,973
>> But anyway, um, I just

16902
08:25:53,973 --> 08:25:57,377
wanted to say that I'm against

16903
08:25:57,377 --> 08:25:58,770
the proposed fiscal year 2027

16904
08:25:58,770 --> 08:26:00,477
Affordable Housing Fund, omb's

16905
08:26:02,315 --> 08:26:03,182
annual Plan and the reason why

16906
08:26:03,182 --> 08:26:06,782
is because it is a ridiculous

16907
08:26:07,919 --> 08:26:08,654
plan And I just want to take a

16908
08:26:08,654 --> 08:26:09,220
moment to shine light on what's

16909
08:26:09,220 --> 08:26:11,220
happening.

16910
08:26:12,558 --> 08:26:13,159
Um, not all Freemasons are evil

16911
08:26:13,159 --> 08:26:16,759
and a lot of the young

16912
08:26:17,196 --> 08:26:17,730
Freemasons actually support me

16913
08:26:17,730 --> 08:26:19,730
fighting for 0% tax.

16914
08:26:21,634 --> 08:26:22,268
I've been here for eight hours

16915
08:26:22,268 --> 08:26:23,200
today um, talking to these

16916
08:26:23,200 --> 08:26:26,339
people in City Hall and they're

16917
08:26:26,339 --> 08:26:26,806
some of the friendliest people

16918
08:26:26,806 --> 08:26:27,607
in the world.

16919
08:26:27,607 --> 08:26:28,408
So I just want to make that

16920
08:26:28,408 --> 08:26:31,643
point clear and I wanted to say

16921
08:26:31,643 --> 08:26:32,345
I am paying for a libertarian

16922
08:26:32,345 --> 08:26:35,345
revolution that does fight for

16923
08:26:35,982 --> 08:26:36,949
zero 0% tax no taxes at all.

16924
08:26:36,949 --> 08:26:37,650
>> And I just wanted to say I

16925
08:26:37,650 --> 08:26:40,650
am for exposing that everyone

16926
08:26:41,520 --> 08:26:42,188
up here is in the New World

16927
08:26:42,188 --> 08:26:42,822
Order trying to make a one

16928
08:26:42,822 --> 08:26:45,222
world government and that

16929
08:26:45,525 --> 08:26:46,259
accord group rituals are so

16930
08:26:46,259 --> 08:26:46,826
powerful that when these people

16931
08:26:46,826 --> 08:26:49,226
do human sacrifices in

16932
08:26:50,230 --> 08:26:50,930
the Masonic Lodge they actually

16933
08:26:50,930 --> 08:26:54,530
have the ability to read minds

16934
08:26:54,601 --> 08:26:55,268
teleport feel like a living GOD

16935
08:26:55,268 --> 08:26:58,268
reincarnate and I'm out here

16936
08:26:59,639 --> 08:27:00,406
exposing them and I just want

16937
08:27:00,406 --> 08:27:01,141
to say that I'm very excited

16938
08:27:01,141 --> 08:27:01,908
that people have been giving me

16939
08:27:01,908 --> 08:27:04,778
feedback of how I stood up

16940
08:27:04,778 --> 08:27:05,445
today almost made world history

16941
08:27:05,445 --> 08:27:06,460
and there's something there.

16942
08:27:06,460 --> 08:27:08,460
English word programing

16943
08:27:09,449 --> 08:27:10,116
Repeating Nevada fifth Area 51

16944
08:27:10,116 --> 08:27:10,717
Bears repeating GOD is dead

16945
08:27:10,717 --> 08:27:13,717
because GOD is not dead.

16946
08:27:14,554 --> 08:27:15,155
We need an increase of faith

16947
08:27:15,155 --> 08:27:15,822
because 30% of time has

16948
08:27:15,822 --> 08:27:18,222
concluded allegedly Order if

16949
08:27:25,532 --> 08:27:26,366
you can please come forward.

16950
08:27:26,366 --> 08:27:27,167
>> I'm just wondering when you

16951
08:27:27,167 --> 08:27:30,167
guys are going to treat

16952
08:27:30,770 --> 08:27:31,537
the homeless like people and

16953
08:27:31,537 --> 08:27:35,309
not a number I feel like you

16954
08:27:35,309 --> 08:27:35,775
know, is any of this stuff

16955
08:27:35,775 --> 08:27:36,677
really working?

16956
08:27:36,677 --> 08:27:37,110
I mean you guys do these nice

16957
08:27:37,110 --> 08:27:39,110
presentations.

16958
08:27:40,614 --> 08:27:41,247
You talk about, you know, tens

16959
08:27:41,247 --> 08:27:41,948
of millions of dollars in

16960
08:27:41,948 --> 08:27:44,948
accounts and what you're going

16961
08:27:45,852 --> 08:27:46,419
to do with it But it's just

16962
08:27:46,419 --> 08:27:47,870
like the 24 billion on

16963
08:27:47,870 --> 08:27:49,487
homelessness that this state

16964
08:27:50,457 --> 08:27:51,323
it's like word that go you guys

16965
08:27:51,323 --> 08:27:51,825
got some of it where to go you

16966
08:27:51,825 --> 08:27:52,592
know what I mean?

16967
08:27:52,592 --> 08:27:55,610
Like the problem doesn't get

16968
08:27:55,610 --> 08:27:55,829
better It literally continues

16969
08:27:55,829 --> 08:27:56,429
to get worse And it's like if

16970
08:27:56,429 --> 08:27:58,829
that is what's happening

16971
08:27:59,833 --> 08:28:00,467
shouldn't it be time to course

16972
08:28:00,467 --> 08:28:01,134
correct and actually like

16973
08:28:01,134 --> 08:28:04,134
really think about these be

16974
08:28:04,904 --> 08:28:05,539
like what would you want if you

16975
08:28:05,539 --> 08:28:05,939
guys were the ones out on

16976
08:28:05,939 --> 08:28:07,939
the streets?

16977
08:28:09,208 --> 08:28:09,910
I don't feel like you put

16978
08:28:09,910 --> 08:28:10,610
yourself in that position and

16979
08:28:10,610 --> 08:28:13,610
you really are thinking about

16980
08:28:14,648 --> 08:28:15,481
it in that manner.

16981
08:28:15,481 --> 08:28:16,149
I think you guys just do it

16982
08:28:16,149 --> 08:28:16,850
like it's business as usual.

16983
08:28:16,850 --> 08:28:19,586
Let's just get this stuff

16984
08:28:19,586 --> 08:28:20,420
passed.

16985
08:28:20,420 --> 08:28:21,154
We got to get out of here.

16986
08:28:21,154 --> 08:28:21,921
We have something to do All

16987
08:28:21,921 --> 08:28:24,391
while the people you know are

16988
08:28:24,391 --> 08:28:25,191
just hoping that this money is

16989
08:28:25,191 --> 08:28:28,295
going to be used to get them

16990
08:28:28,295 --> 08:28:28,996
off the streets and they just

16991
08:28:28,996 --> 08:28:31,996
continue doing Wait for that

16992
08:28:33,600 --> 08:28:35,600
concluding comment.

16993
08:28:37,771 --> 08:28:38,539
>> Oh, Natalie Raji, is your

16994
08:28:38,539 --> 08:28:38,939
dad's here so you'll get

16995
08:28:38,939 --> 08:28:40,939
the minute.

16996
08:28:43,744 --> 08:28:44,511
Please proceed.

16997
08:28:44,511 --> 08:28:46,911
>> It's a housing authority.

16998
08:28:47,147 --> 08:28:47,848
So this is item seven and five

16999
08:28:47,848 --> 08:28:48,514
the proposed fiscal year 2027

17000

Housing Fund.

17002
08:28:52,219 --> 08:28:53,119
>> Oh geez.

17003
08:28:53,119 --> 08:28:55,956
I just feel like I'm in a loop.

17004
08:28:55,956 --> 08:28:58,956
Like it's just this constant

17005
08:29:00,961 --> 08:29:01,829
circle of filing these papers,

17006
08:29:01,829 --> 08:29:05,429
getting someone to listen to me

17007
08:29:06,660 --> 08:29:06,867
heard Like I said it's heard

17008
08:29:06,867 --> 08:29:09,867
says Oh no contact Housing

17009
08:29:10,571 --> 08:29:11,271
Authority Contact Housing

17010
08:29:11,271 --> 08:29:14,871
authority I don't even want to

17011
08:29:15,209 --> 08:29:16,420
be in this loop.

17012
08:29:16,420 --> 08:29:16,643
I don't want to I don't even

17013
08:29:16,643 --> 08:29:19,643
want to have a voucher.

17014
08:29:20,414 --> 08:29:21,148
But situations happen.

17015
08:29:21,148 --> 08:29:24,748
Covid happened and here I am

17016
08:29:24,852 --> 08:29:25,152
and now I'm going to be there

17017
08:29:25,152 --> 08:29:26,530
again.

17018
08:29:26,530 --> 08:29:26,320
>> So who do I need to speak

17019
08:29:26,320 --> 08:29:28,320
to?

17020
08:29:28,789 --> 08:29:29,757
Who do you put me in front of

17021
08:29:29,757 --> 08:29:30,900
Because I can't get a hold of

17022
08:29:30,900 --> 08:29:32,900
anybody.

17023
08:29:34,194 --> 08:29:35,620
I have Sarah Jacobson office.

17024
08:29:35,620 --> 08:29:38,662
They haven't gotten back to me.

17025
08:29:39,300 --> 08:29:39,800
They said they hand my

17026
08:29:39,800 --> 08:29:40,534
paperwork to hud.

17027
08:29:40,534 --> 08:29:43,771
I don't know what is happening.

17028
08:29:43,771 --> 08:29:44,138
Why do you know what's

17029
08:29:44,138 --> 08:29:44,839
happening?

17030
08:29:44,839 --> 08:29:45,608
But we need to pull our heads

17031
08:29:45,608 --> 08:29:49,176
out of the sand as a society

17032
08:29:49,176 --> 08:29:49,913
And what's going on in this

17033
08:29:49,913 --> 08:29:50,544
administration and all of these

17034
08:29:50,544 --> 08:29:52,944
things because the ripples

17035
08:29:53,714 --> 08:29:54,215
haven't even hit us yet from

17036
08:29:54,215 --> 08:29:56,215
what's happening.

17037
08:29:58,552 --> 08:30:01,552
They haven't Our food, our

17038
08:30:02,823 --> 08:30:03,391
homes, the fertilizer like I

17039
08:30:03,391 --> 08:30:05,391
said, the mosquitoes.

17040
08:30:08,960 --> 08:30:08,729
>> And so while being housed

17041
08:30:08,729 --> 08:30:09,463
I've done many things It's

17042
08:30:09,463 --> 08:30:13,630
going to be disrupted again And

17043
08:30:13,267 --> 08:30:16,867
I'm here to build community And

17044
08:30:17,338 --> 08:30:18,106
it's hurtful that I'm trying to

17045
08:30:18,106 --> 08:30:18,773
do good things and yet I got

17046
08:30:18,773 --> 08:30:21,773
all these things to battle.

17047
08:30:22,175 --> 08:30:22,944
Thank you.

17048
08:30:22,944 --> 08:30:23,544
>> That doesn't mean public

17050

chambers going to those

participating online we have

17052

two speakers.

17053

17055

You have a minute and a half

17056

please proceed.

17057
08:30:35,356 --> 08:30:37,756
Kathleen Lippert, I can't

17058
08:30:38,792 --> 08:30:39,193
unmute for you.

17059
08:30:39,193 --> 08:30:39,760
Sorry.

17060
08:30:39,760 --> 08:30:42,160
Thank you very much.

17061
08:30:43,998 --> 08:30:44,632
The lack of city required

17062
08:30:44,632 --> 08:30:45,266
infrastructure for housing

17063
08:30:45,266 --> 08:30:47,666
projects always will allow

17064
08:30:49,700 --> 08:30:49,737
greedy developers to decrease

17065
08:30:49,737 --> 08:30:52,137
costs and increase profits.

17066
08:30:53,808 --> 08:30:54,509
Future infrastructure cost

17067
08:30:54,509 --> 08:30:57,509
cheaply built projects with or

17068
08:30:58,679 --> 08:30:59,479
without infrastructure and

17069
08:30:59,479 --> 08:30:59,947
without green space will become

17070
08:30:59,947 --> 08:31:01,947
taxpayer burden.

17071
08:31:03,718 --> 08:31:04,452
Equity is not a path forward

17072
08:31:04,452 --> 08:31:08,520
but a step back to tribalism.

17073
08:31:08,880 --> 08:31:08,790
It is a want not a need.

17074
08:31:08,790 --> 08:31:09,424
Discriminating against anyone

17075
08:31:09,424 --> 08:31:11,424
population simultaneously

17076
08:31:13,327 --> 08:31:13,928
discriminate aids against

17077
08:31:13,928 --> 08:31:16,928
another and the goal of

17078
08:31:17,899 --> 08:31:18,766
achieving equity is a myth.

17079
08:31:18,766 --> 08:31:19,500
It's a but it's a useful

17080
08:31:19,500 --> 08:31:21,900
strategy for politicians equity

17081
08:31:23,438 --> 08:31:24,138
goals distort incentives,

17082
08:31:24,138 --> 08:31:24,439
reduce motivation and trap to

17083
08:31:24,439 --> 08:31:26,439
them.

17084
08:31:28,760 --> 08:31:28,710
Disadvantage groups and

17085
08:31:28,710 --> 08:31:31,110
dependency loops Without a

17086
08:31:32,246 --> 08:31:32,981
vision for future farmer plans

17087
08:31:32,981 --> 08:31:33,648
to offer equity licenses for

17088
08:31:33,648 --> 08:31:36,480
those formerly convicted of

17089
08:31:37,886 --> 08:31:38,753
drug crimes was not a path

17090
08:31:38,753 --> 08:31:42,357
forward but a return to a life

17091
08:31:42,357 --> 08:31:42,723
that harmed them and their

17092
08:31:42,723 --> 08:31:43,424
families.

17093
08:31:43,424 --> 08:31:46,424
City photos showing a city

17094
08:31:46,461 --> 08:31:47,195
dominated by featureless cold

17095
08:31:47,195 --> 08:31:49,595
uniform one dimensional housing

17096
08:31:51,966 --> 08:31:52,700
projects MAY be a dream of

17097
08:31:52,700 --> 08:31:55,100
Google Brutalist architects but

17098
08:31:56,337 --> 08:31:56,938
their dystopian nightmare for

17099
08:31:56,938 --> 08:31:57,572
humans unbridled housing

17100
08:31:57,572 --> 08:31:59,572
projects destroyed single

17101
08:32:01,676 --> 08:32:02,277
family residences, violate

17102
08:32:02,277 --> 08:32:02,843
community plans, ignore

17103
08:32:02,843 --> 08:32:04,843
community dissent and

17104
08:32:07,582 --> 08:32:08,183
opposition and will destroy our

17105
08:32:08,183 --> 08:32:08,750
most charming and unique

17106
08:32:08,750 --> 08:32:10,750
communities Hillcrest,

17107
08:32:13,588 --> 08:32:14,356
Oceanside, North Park, Little

17108
08:32:14,356 --> 08:32:17,956
Italy and Barrio Logan are time

17109
08:32:18,827 --> 08:32:19,494
has concluded Blair Beakman if

17110
08:32:19,494 --> 08:32:21,963
you can please on mute All

17111
08:32:21,963 --> 08:32:22,698
right we're Beakman thanks a

17112
08:32:22,698 --> 08:32:23,534
lot for this item Over the past

17113
08:32:23,534 --> 08:32:27,350
year I've been I was amazingly

17114
08:32:27,350 --> 08:32:27,702
impressed by some city

17115
08:32:27,702 --> 08:32:29,702
government presentations and

17116
08:32:31,239 --> 08:32:31,605
the work of what part's doing

17117
08:32:31,605 --> 08:32:32,307
right now.

17118
08:32:32,307 --> 08:32:34,707
They're really finding housing

17119
08:32:36,645 --> 08:32:37,244
for people and they made that a

17120
08:32:37,244 --> 08:32:37,946
very clear point in what

17121
08:32:37,946 --> 08:32:41,149
they're doing And with that it

17122
08:32:41,149 --> 08:32:41,783
made it clear to me that, you

17123
08:32:41,783 --> 08:32:42,450
know, with all the housing

17124
08:32:42,450 --> 08:32:44,850
ordinance things we've been

17125
08:32:45,921 --> 08:32:46,587
doing or the unhoused ordinance

17126
08:32:46,587 --> 08:32:47,288
things in downtown and such,

17127
08:32:47,288 --> 08:32:50,288
you know some city governments

17128
08:32:50,559 --> 08:32:51,259
down was really dedicated to

17129
08:32:51,259 --> 08:32:55,296
the idea of housing and it was

17130
08:32:55,296 --> 08:32:55,963
really important and it managed

17131
08:32:55,963 --> 08:32:56,698
just made something really

17132
08:32:56,698 --> 08:33:00,680
clear to me how to work on

17133
08:33:00,680 --> 08:33:00,769
issue Shelter is important.

17134
08:33:00,769 --> 08:33:03,769
Working on housing just seems

17135
08:33:04,439 --> 08:33:05,107
really key and I want to better

17136
08:33:05,107 --> 08:33:05,806
understand that And I guess

17137
08:33:05,806 --> 08:33:09,406
you're trying to do that here.

17138
08:33:09,745 --> 08:33:10,445
I heard housing is opening up

17139
08:33:10,445 --> 08:33:13,445
in California overall at this

17140
08:33:14,315 --> 08:33:15,217
time And would this be a time

17141
08:33:15,217 --> 08:33:18,817
I'm I suppose that market rate

17142
08:33:19,454 --> 08:33:20,188
housing was the standard in

17143
08:33:20,188 --> 08:33:20,889
what they've used but is this a

17144
08:33:20,889 --> 08:33:23,358
time we can start talking more

17145
08:33:23,358 --> 08:33:24,126
about middle income housing?

17146
08:33:24,126 --> 08:33:24,759
>> If you can remember in

17147
08:33:24,759 --> 08:33:27,759
the Bay Area their housing

17148
08:33:28,297 --> 08:33:29,163
costs are so expensive.

17149
08:33:29,163 --> 08:33:29,731
I mean they constantly complain

17150
08:33:29,731 --> 08:33:32,131
that they can't build

17151
08:33:33,680 --> 08:33:33,868
affordable housing There were

17152
08:33:33,868 --> 08:33:34,636
housing costs in San Diego are

17153
08:33:34,636 --> 08:33:37,636
much cheaper actually now It's

17154
08:33:38,507 --> 08:33:39,274
affordable housing and how we

17155
08:33:39,274 --> 08:33:39,708
can talk about how to have that

17156
08:33:39,708 --> 08:33:41,708
conversation.

17157
08:33:43,679 --> 08:33:44,346
Good luck with that And I'm

17158
08:33:44,346 --> 08:33:45,470
very concerned that we could

17159
08:33:45,470 --> 08:33:48,470
have been talking about aren't

17160
08:33:48,349 --> 08:33:49,170
I stuck for the future to leave

17161
08:33:49,170 --> 08:33:52,554
flock in the next few months

17162
08:33:52,554 --> 08:33:53,210
just as a trial basis to lower

17163
08:33:53,210 --> 08:33:53,589
budget concerns?

17164
08:33:53,589 --> 08:33:54,322
>> Sorry your time has

17165
08:33:54,322 --> 08:33:57,322
concluded Francis as our final

17166
08:33:57,994 --> 08:33:58,293
speaker Francis, please on

17167
08:33:58,293 --> 08:33:58,594
mute.

17168
08:33:58,594 --> 08:34:00,594
>> Hi.

17169
08:34:02,464 --> 08:34:03,165
I wanted to first have to say

17170
08:34:03,165 --> 08:34:06,765
thank you to the Council for

17171
08:34:07,336 --> 08:34:08,103
this meeting the opportunity to

17172
08:34:08,103 --> 08:34:11,273
hear the public go vote and

17173
08:34:11,273 --> 08:34:12,700
think in particular those

17174
08:34:12,700 --> 08:34:15,607
members of the council that you

17175
08:34:16,278 --> 08:34:16,979
know, truly seem to be

17176
08:34:16,979 --> 08:34:17,345
listening to the community on

17177
08:34:17,345 --> 08:34:19,345
this item.

17178
08:34:21,150 --> 08:34:21,750
I want to just mention as we're

17179
08:34:21,750 --> 08:34:22,451
talking about affordable

17180
08:34:22,451 --> 08:34:25,820
housing I think right now you

17181
08:34:25,820 --> 08:34:26,422
know there's so many people who

17182
08:34:26,422 --> 08:34:29,422
have zero income and no

17183
08:34:30,659 --> 08:34:31,460
prospects for income and are,

17184
08:34:31,460 --> 08:34:34,196
you know, left out from

17185
08:34:34,196 --> 08:34:37,196
the shelters the shelters lack

17186
08:34:40,401 --> 08:34:41,170
a lot of Well, I heard there

17187
08:34:41,170 --> 08:34:41,871
nasty I heard a lot of people

17188
08:34:41,871 --> 08:34:44,507
don't want to go to shelters

17189
08:34:44,507 --> 08:34:45,374
because they're nasty and or

17190
08:34:45,374 --> 08:34:48,974
just to talk about, you know

17191
08:34:49,645 --> 08:34:50,279
what We really have to be

17192
08:34:50,279 --> 08:34:52,279
thinking about facilities

17193
08:34:54,283 --> 08:34:54,984
public showers, bathrooms.

17194
08:34:54,984 --> 08:34:57,984
You know, we're talking about

17195
08:34:58,821 --> 08:34:59,521
getting people off the street,

17196
08:34:59,521 --> 08:35:00,189
improving our city and making

17197
08:35:00,189 --> 08:35:03,189
quality of life happy for

17198
08:35:04,460 --> 08:35:05,160
everyone.

17199
08:35:05,160 --> 08:35:05,828
Let's give people let's invest

17200
08:35:05,828 --> 08:35:06,696
a little bit extra and make

17201
08:35:06,696 --> 08:35:09,650
sure there is a lot of like

17202
08:35:09,650 --> 08:35:09,598
outdoor shower facilities and

17203
08:35:09,598 --> 08:35:11,598
safe sleeping sites.

17204
08:35:13,350 --> 08:35:13,903
We need more of that.

17205
08:35:13,903 --> 08:35:14,670
We can't not do that every day.

17206
08:35:14,670 --> 08:35:18,270
We're not doing more of that.

17207
08:35:18,406 --> 08:35:19,108
There's people getting raped on

17208
08:35:19,108 --> 08:35:22,708
the street or beaten up while

17209
08:35:23,646 --> 08:35:23,946
they're just trying to survive

17210
08:35:23,946 --> 08:35:24,714

Thank you.

17213
08:35:25,781 --> 08:35:28,284
That does conclude the public

17214
08:35:28,284 --> 08:35:29,510
comment for this item.

17215
08:35:29,510 --> 08:35:29,418
>> Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

17216

17220

City Clerk.

17221
08:35:33,890 --> 08:35:34,523
With that we'll turn over to

17222
08:35:34,523 --> 08:35:35,191
colleagues for questions.

17223
08:35:35,191 --> 08:35:35,858
Comments entertain a motion.

17224
08:35:35,858 --> 08:35:36,525
We'll start with the chair.

17225
08:35:36,525 --> 08:35:39,525
Land use and Housing Council

17226
08:35:42,899 --> 08:35:43,566
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee I think

17227
08:35:43,566 --> 08:35:44,267
as reservation of minutes on

17228
08:35:44,267 --> 08:35:46,369
here with the quick we do hear

17229
08:35:46,369 --> 08:35:47,103
this at the land use and

17230
08:35:47,103 --> 08:35:47,837
housing committee I don't think

17231
08:35:47,837 --> 08:35:51,730
we need to add too much more on

17232
08:35:51,730 --> 08:35:51,673
this particular item but I will

17233
08:35:51,673 --> 08:35:52,207
think that Sandy Housing

17234
08:35:52,207 --> 08:35:52,909
Commission team for

17235
08:35:52,909 --> 08:35:55,311
the presentation I think with

17236
08:35:55,311 --> 08:35:55,978
that I'll simply move

17237
08:35:55,978 --> 08:35:56,412
the staff's recommendation.

17238
08:35:56,412 --> 08:35:57,460
>> All right.

17239
08:35:57,460 --> 08:35:59,446
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem

17240
08:36:00,115 --> 08:36:00,750
please move the staff

17241
08:36:00,750 --> 08:36:01,317
recommendation will go to

17242
08:36:01,317 --> 08:36:01,784
Councilmember Moreno.

17243
08:36:01,784 --> 08:36:02,151
Happy to second.

17244
08:36:02,151 --> 08:36:04,151
All right.

17245
08:36:05,421 --> 08:36:06,156
We have a second So we have a

17246
08:36:06,156 --> 08:36:06,823
motion by Council PRESIDENT Pro

17247
08:36:06,823 --> 08:36:09,992
Tem Lee, a second by council

17248
08:36:09,992 --> 08:36:10,693
member Moreno to move the staff

17249
08:36:10,693 --> 08:36:11,194
recommendation not see anybody

17250
08:36:11,194 --> 08:36:13,594
else in the light.

17251
08:36:15,531 --> 08:36:15,898
I'll just say you for the very

17252
08:36:15,898 --> 08:36:16,799
good work.

17253
08:36:16,799 --> 08:36:19,836
I hope that one public holiday

17254
08:36:19,836 --> 08:36:20,536
misunderstood what this item

17255
08:36:20,536 --> 08:36:21,337
was about because I do not

17256
08:36:21,337 --> 08:36:24,273
agree with the statements she

17257
08:36:24,273 --> 08:36:24,941
made but all kinds of opinions

17258
08:36:24,941 --> 08:36:25,475
out there So thank you for

17259
08:36:25,475 --> 08:36:27,875
the very good work.

17260
08:36:28,945 --> 08:36:29,645
This is a continuing challenge

17261
08:36:29,645 --> 08:36:32,949
the end of the pipeline going

17262
08:36:32,949 --> 08:36:33,616
from those on the street to

17263
08:36:33,616 --> 08:36:36,616
actually having a home that

17264
08:36:38,154 --> 08:36:39,870
they can possibly entertain.

17265
08:36:39,870 --> 08:36:39,822
So with that again we have a

17266
08:36:39,822 --> 08:36:42,822
motion by Council PRESIDENT Pro

17267
08:36:43,359 --> 08:36:44,270

Commission.

17310
08:37:54,431 --> 08:37:54,965
We'll need about 6 or 7 minutes

17311
08:37:54,965 --> 08:37:56,965
for a presentation.

17312
08:37:57,968 --> 08:37:58,635

what we presented to the Budget

17317
08:38:03,106 --> 08:38:03,707
Review committee on MAY 7th.

17318
08:38:03,707 --> 08:38:04,241
We will highlight those

17319
08:38:04,241 --> 08:38:06,241
revisions in today's

17320
08:38:09,913 --> 08:38:10,580

17321
08:38:10,580 --> 08:38:13,580
the proposed budget today we

08:38:15,318 --> 08:38:15,986
will draw your attention to a

17323
08:38:15,986 --> 08:38:16,620
few revisions to the budget

17324
08:38:16,620 --> 08:38:17,321
from what we presented to

17325
08:38:17,321 --> 08:38:20,321
the Budget Review Committee a

17326
08:38:20,490 --> 08:38:20,991
few weeks ago.

17327
08:38:20,991 --> 08:38:21,725
We'll also discuss

17328
08:38:21,725 --> 08:38:23,527
the challenges we're navigating

17329
08:38:23,527 --> 08:38:27,127
and the actions we've taken to

17330
08:38:28,131 --> 08:38:30,131
balance our budget.

17331
08:38:33,504 --> 08:38:37,700
We are proposing a budget of

17332
08:38:37,700 --> 08:38:37,741
$694 million That is $6 million

17333
08:38:37,741 --> 08:38:38,442
more than the initial budget we

17334
08:38:38,442 --> 08:38:41,442
presented to the budget review

17335
08:38:41,578 --> 08:38:42,346
committee in MAY.

17336
08:38:42,346 --> 08:38:45,182
The $6 million change is due

17337
08:38:45,182 --> 08:38:46,820
primarily to one an increase of

17338
08:38:46,820 --> 08:38:49,820
$3.5 million and moving to work

17339
08:38:49,853 --> 08:38:50,587
or mtw revenue After we

17340
08:38:50,587 --> 08:38:53,587
received the hud funding letter

17341
08:38:54,992 --> 08:38:55,692
to an increase of $2.4 million

17342
08:38:55,692 --> 08:38:58,920
in philanthropic grant funding

17343
08:38:59,562 --> 08:39:01,962
for homelessness programs and

17344
08:39:03,634 --> 08:39:04,234
finally an increase of $750,000

17345
08:39:04,234 --> 08:39:04,935
in capital expenditures

17346
08:39:04,935 --> 08:39:08,138
following the award of the San

17347
08:39:08,138 --> 08:39:08,806
Diego Gas and Electric Funds

17348
08:39:08,806 --> 08:39:09,273
under the Multifamily Energy

17349
08:39:09,273 --> 08:39:11,273
Savings Program.

17350
08:39:13,643 --> 08:39:14,345
This budget continues to

17351
08:39:14,345 --> 08:39:15,450
advance our mission to foster

17352
08:39:15,450 --> 08:39:17,445
social and economic stability

17353
08:39:18,348 --> 08:39:18,949
by ensuring the development and

17354
08:39:18,949 --> 08:39:19,616
preservation of quality

17355
08:39:19,616 --> 08:39:21,616
affordable housing solutions

17356
08:39:22,885 --> 08:39:23,654
for San Diego and this slide

17357
08:39:23,654 --> 08:39:26,540
provides an overview of

17358
08:39:27,925 --> 08:39:28,659
the fiscal challenges.

17359
08:39:28,659 --> 08:39:29,393
This slide provides an overview

17360
08:39:29,393 --> 08:39:32,993
of the fiscal challenges we are

17361
08:39:33,597 --> 08:39:34,298
navigating and as we showed in

17362
08:39:34,298 --> 08:39:36,698
our previous presentation, our

17363
08:39:37,334 --> 08:39:38,200
federal funding is not

17364
08:39:38,200 --> 08:39:38,669
sufficient to support rental

17365
08:39:38,669 --> 08:39:39,270
assistance for the families

17366
08:39:39,270 --> 08:39:41,670
currently in our voucher

17367
08:39:41,973 --> 08:39:42,740
programs.

17368
08:39:42,740 --> 08:39:43,340
This has required us to use

17369
08:39:43,340 --> 08:39:45,340
diminishing mtw voucher

17370
08:39:47,110 --> 08:39:47,344
reserves to achieve a balanced

17371
08:39:47,344 --> 08:39:47,978
budget.

17372
08:39:47,978 --> 08:39:50,378
Local reserves are also

17373
08:39:52,616 --> 08:39:53,317
insufficient to meet all of

17374
08:39:53,317 --> 08:39:56,317
the needs they have supported

17375
08:39:57,870 --> 08:39:57,955
in the past.

17376
08:39:57,955 --> 08:40:00,424
Here you can see again many of

17377
08:40:00,424 --> 08:40:01,391
the steps we have taken so far

17378
08:40:01,391 --> 08:40:04,391
to contain costs and generate

17379
08:40:05,629 --> 08:40:06,664
revenue.

17380
08:40:06,664 --> 08:40:09,664
>> Our recent reduction in our

17381
08:40:10,501 --> 08:40:11,202
workforce and other adjustments

17382
08:40:11,202 --> 08:40:14,202
are among our cost containment

17383
08:40:15,206 --> 08:40:15,873
efforts along with other

17384
08:40:15,873 --> 08:40:16,173
initiatives in our strategic

17385
08:40:16,173 --> 08:40:16,874
plan.

17386
08:40:16,874 --> 08:40:18,876
These efforts will also create

17387
08:40:18,876 --> 08:40:21,276
a more sustainable fiscal

17388
08:40:24,248 --> 08:40:26,648
outlook for the future.

17389
08:40:30,860 --> 08:40:30,487
Yeah, I think it should be

17390
08:40:30,487 --> 08:40:31,221
Slide seven.

17391
08:40:31,221 --> 08:40:33,621
We're recalibrating the talking

17392
08:40:36,160 --> 08:40:36,927
points with the slide.

17393
08:40:36,927 --> 08:40:39,597
Again, this slide shows our

17394
08:40:39,597 --> 08:40:39,897
budgets over the past five

17395
08:40:39,897 --> 08:40:40,564
years.

17396
08:40:40,564 --> 08:40:41,365
Budgets have been higher in

17397
08:40:41,365 --> 08:40:44,965
recent years due to new funding

17398
08:40:45,136 --> 08:40:48,136
sources such as the state's

17399
08:40:48,372 --> 08:40:50,772
homekey program which launched

17400
08:40:58,490 --> 08:40:58,583

08:42:00,177 --> 08:42:02,177
become homeowners.

17435
08:42:04,116 --> 08:42:04,715
We'll also budgeted 7.9 million

17436
08:42:04,715 --> 08:42:06,715

The proposed homelessness

17455
08:42:58,437 --> 08:43:00,837

08:43:20,892 --> 08:43:24,492
with a few slide about proposed

17467
08:43:26,265 --> 08:43:29,265
uses and sources of funds.

17468
08:43:31,269 --> 08:43:33,669
>> The proposed budget spending

17469
08:43:35,440 --> 08:43:37,840

housing program expense I have

17481
08:43:58,529 --> 08:44:00,529
increased by 1.4 million.

17482
08:44:02,901 --> 08:44:03,536
>> This is mainly a result of

17483
08:44:03,536 --> 08:44:04,135
the award of philanthropic

17484
08:44:04,135 --> 08:44:06,535

saving program in fiscal year

17491
08:44:25,124 --> 08:44:25,524

17492
08:44:25,524 --> 08:44:27,524
41 position.

17493
08:44:29,661 --> 08:44:30,280
This reflects 58 eliminated

17494
08:44:30,280 --> 08:44:32,280
position.

17495
08:44:34,133 --> 08:44:34,867
Those workforce reduction are

17496
08:44:34,867 --> 08:44:35,434
offset by the addition of three

17497
08:44:35,434 --> 08:44:37,434

17503
08:44:50,483 --> 08:44:53,483
Funded by a grant from

17504
08:44:54,686 --> 08:44:55,387
the Wells Fargo Foundation.

17505
08:44:55,387 --> 08:44:56,222
And 13 additional position for

17506
08:44:56,222 --> 08:44:59,822
a city staff to manage more

17507
08:44:59,859 --> 08:45:00,559
than more sgc properties

17508
08:45:00,559 --> 08:45:02,959
in-house which resulted which

17509
08:45:03,896 --> 08:45:07,233
will result result in a cost

17510
08:45:07,233 --> 08:45:07,600
saving of approximately

17511
08:45:07,600 --> 08:45:08,200
$700,000.

17512
08:45:08,200 --> 08:45:11,200
Next we'll look at Jen's

17513
08:45:12,371 --> 08:45:14,771
separate sources of funds.

17514
08:45:15,641 --> 08:45:16,750
This table will compare fiscal

source of funding and accounts

17544
08:46:15,702 --> 08:46:19,302
for 72% of new revenue with mtw

17545
08:46:19,772 --> 08:46:20,506
more specifically representing

17546
08:46:20,506 --> 08:46:23,506
64% of the budgeted new revenue

17547
08:46:27,914 --> 08:46:28,381
for fiscal year 27.

17548
08:46:28,381 --> 08:46:29,470

associated voucher programs

17552
08:46:35,922 --> 08:46:38,322
resulted in 4 million increase

17553
08:46:39,580 --> 08:46:39,759
to our total fund balance

17554
08:46:39,759 --> 08:46:41,759
primarily 2,000,002 million in

17555
08:46:44,263 --> 08:46:44,998

17558
08:46:49,903 --> 08:46:52,303
Our 133 million fund balance

17559
08:46:53,773 --> 08:46:54,440
includes 73 million in program

17560
08:46:54,440 --> 08:46:55,740

17566
08:47:07,954 --> 08:47:08,621
assistance payment reserves.

17567
08:47:08,621 --> 08:47:11,621
Even with a very modest

17568
08:47:11,924 --> 08:47:12,592
increase in reserve level,

17569
08:47:12,592 --> 08:47:13,293
the 60 million of projected

17570
08:47:13,293 --> 08:47:16,293

17571
08:47:16,830 --> 08:47:17,597
below the minimum reserve

17572
08:47:17,597 --> 08:47:18,198
target of 70 million and

17573
08:47:18,198 --> 08:47:20,198
significantly lower than

17574
08:47:20,500 --> 08:47:22,500
the recommended stabilization

17575
08:47:25,671 --> 08:47:26,373
target reserve level.

17576
08:47:26,373 --> 08:47:27,700
Today we are requesting that

08:47:36,116 --> 08:47:39,716
As we have discussed we will

17581
08:47:40,187 --> 08:47:40,954
continue to use our reserves in

17582
08:47:40,954 --> 08:47:41,655
fiscal year 2027 to assist our

17583
08:47:41,655 --> 08:47:44,550
families and serve our

17584
08:47:44,958 --> 08:47:45,559
community.

17585
08:47:45,559 --> 08:47:46,192
But the efforts we have

17586
08:47:46,192 --> 08:47:46,860
undertaken provide us more

17587
08:47:46,860 --> 08:47:49,860
fiscal stability and move us

17588
08:47:49,929 --> 08:47:50,664
toward a stronger financial

17589
08:47:50,664 --> 08:47:51,398
footing for the years to come.

17590
08:47:51,398 --> 08:47:53,798
This concludes our presentation

17591
08:47:54,701 --> 08:47:55,367
and we are available to answer

17592
08:47:55,367 --> 08:47:55,736
any questions you MAY have.

17593
08:47:55,736 --> 08:47:56,369
All right.

17594
08:47:56,369 --> 08:47:59,969
Thank you for the work and

17595
08:48:00,240 --> 08:48:00,574
thank you for the presentation

17596
08:48:00,574 --> 08:48:01,241
.

17597
08:48:01,241 --> 08:48:01,708
Clark Please proceed with

17598
08:48:01,708 --> 08:48:02,442
public comment.

17599
08:48:02,442 --> 08:48:03,900
Joyce In your honor, if you can

17600
08:48:03,900 --> 08:48:05,145
please come forward to

17601
08:48:05,145 --> 08:48:06,120
the microphone After that will

17602
08:48:06,120 --> 08:48:08,181
begin to hire and then John

17603
08:48:08,181 --> 08:48:10,581
Brady ending with allegedly

17604
08:48:16,757 --> 08:48:20,357
Andre Oh, that's enough and not

17605
08:48:21,561 --> 08:48:24,561
enough time but that's okay.

17606
08:48:26,366 --> 08:48:27,100
When we got hit by hud and

17607
08:48:27,100 --> 08:48:27,801
the San Diego San Diego Housing

17608
08:48:27,801 --> 08:48:30,801
Commission came out with their

17609
08:48:31,705 --> 08:48:35,905
new plan to to have the seniors

17610
08:48:36,243 --> 08:48:36,944
and other low income people

17611
08:48:36,944 --> 08:48:37,544
fixed income people having to

17612
08:48:37,544 --> 08:48:40,544
pay more for their rent.

17613
08:48:41,381 --> 08:48:42,820
The reason that really bothered

17614
08:48:42,820 --> 08:48:45,651
me was because we didn't have

17615
08:48:45,651 --> 08:48:46,353
the there was this even

17616
08:48:46,353 --> 08:48:47,860
the board Commissioner Cushman

17617
08:48:47,860 --> 08:48:50,860
really spoke forward about this

17618
08:48:50,357 --> 08:48:51,225
at the board meeting.

17619
08:48:51,225 --> 08:48:54,825
He was shocked by how low

17620
08:48:55,462 --> 08:48:56,130
the reserves were And so that

17621
08:48:56,130 --> 08:48:59,730
that really hit me like our

17622
08:49:00,200 --> 08:49:01,100
beautiful housing commission

17623
08:49:01,100 --> 08:49:04,100
hadn't really done their work

17624
08:49:05,606 --> 08:49:09,206
to keep that stable base to

17625
08:49:09,943 --> 08:49:10,810
help our vulnerable people.

17626
08:49:10,810 --> 08:49:11,512
And so I wasn't too happy about

17627
08:49:11,512 --> 08:49:15,112
the budget last year and now

17628
08:49:15,282 --> 08:49:16,160
we've got layoffs and we've got

17629
08:49:16,160 --> 08:49:16,350
rent increases for fixed income

17630
08:49:16,350 --> 08:49:18,350
people.

17631
08:49:20,220 --> 08:49:23,924
But on this budget I do want to

17632
08:49:23,924 --> 08:49:24,525
say this this strategic plan

17633
08:49:24,525 --> 08:49:27,525
the new one is fabulous.

17634
08:49:29,697 --> 08:49:30,464
It's absolutely excellent.

17635
08:49:30,464 --> 08:49:33,968
And so I'm very positive about

17636
08:49:33,968 --> 08:49:34,768
moving forward on this budget

17637
08:49:34,768 --> 08:49:35,502
and I hope the reserves I don't

17638
08:49:35,502 --> 08:49:38,502
fully understand reserves but I

17639
08:49:39,306 --> 08:49:39,640
hope they're going to get

17640
08:49:39,640 --> 08:49:40,274
better.

17641
08:49:40,274 --> 08:49:43,274
I do understand that they

17642
08:49:43,778 --> 08:49:44,478
weren't good And before So if

17643
08:49:44,478 --> 08:49:45,246
you haven't had a chance to

17644
08:49:45,246 --> 08:49:48,246
look at this, this is

17645
08:49:49,160 --> 08:49:49,884
absolutely five star.

17646
08:49:49,884 --> 08:49:50,484
So thank you very much and I

17647
08:49:50,484 --> 08:49:50,818
approve that concluding

17648
08:49:50,818 --> 08:49:52,818
comment.

17649
08:50:01,862 --> 08:50:02,630
Jen to hear.

17650
08:50:02,630 --> 08:50:02,997
>> Good afternoon ladies and

17651
08:50:02,997 --> 08:50:04,997
gentlemen.

17652
08:50:06,801 --> 08:50:07,668
My name is Jeannie and Sali and

17653
08:50:07,668 --> 08:50:08,202
let me just say first thank you

17654
08:50:08,202 --> 08:50:10,602
for your hard work.

17655
08:50:11,472 --> 08:50:12,239
I just ran into a piece where

17656
08:50:12,239 --> 08:50:12,540
you really worked hard for my

17657
08:50:12,540 --> 08:50:14,540
life.

17658
08:50:15,109 --> 08:50:15,976
I've been out there ten years

17659
08:50:15,976 --> 08:50:19,846
and I happen to have moved into

17660
08:50:19,846 --> 08:50:20,481
St Theresa's Calcutta for a

17661
08:50:20,481 --> 08:50:22,881
good probably four years.

17662
08:50:25,152 --> 08:50:25,753
But I had trouble the whole

17663
08:50:25,753 --> 08:50:26,354
time I'm evicted today.

17664
08:50:26,354 --> 08:50:29,354
I'm not quite sure why.

17665
08:50:30,458 --> 08:50:31,192
Mark Colvin of Housing

17666
08:50:31,192 --> 08:50:33,592
Commission a housing commission

17667
08:50:36,264 --> 08:50:38,332
just evicted and just without.

17668
08:50:38,332 --> 08:50:41,932
I'm homeless as of the third.

17669
08:50:42,570 --> 08:50:42,938
I'm not quite sure why that

17670
08:50:42,938 --> 08:50:44,938
happened.

17671
08:50:51,312 --> 08:50:52,280
He took my voucher away six

17672
08:50:52,280 --> 08:50:55,880
2424 JUNE 1st as 30th of 24 And

17673
08:50:56,717 --> 08:50:57,418
I'm just finding this out and

17674
08:50:57,418 --> 08:51:01,180
I'm not quite sure where all

17675
08:51:02,590 --> 08:51:03,224
the others where that since

17676
08:51:03,224 --> 08:51:03,724
then that I've been living

17677
08:51:03,724 --> 08:51:05,724
there comfortably.

17678
08:51:07,462 --> 08:51:07,762
All the sudden I'm I'm left

17679
08:51:07,762 --> 08:51:08,528
out.

17680
08:51:08,528 --> 08:51:12,128
I haven't read out my voucher

17681
08:51:12,232 --> 08:51:13,101
nor am I also my sexuality to

17682
08:51:13,101 --> 08:51:16,337
be able to move with this

17683
08:51:16,337 --> 08:51:16,838
council helping build a

17684
08:51:16,838 --> 08:51:17,571
protection for me.

17685
08:51:17,571 --> 08:51:20,571
I'm not quite sure where

17686
08:51:21,609 --> 08:51:22,477
the conflict was.

17687
08:51:22,477 --> 08:51:23,645
I didn't have I was I'm not

17688
08:51:23,645 --> 08:51:27,245
aware of any violations that I

17689
08:51:29,751 --> 08:51:31,751
can't discuss.

17690
08:51:32,587 --> 08:51:33,355
It was just JUNE 2nd that five

17691
08:51:33,355 --> 08:51:37,555
shows came and said I was no

17692
08:51:39,661 --> 08:51:40,361
longer welcome there at my at

17693
08:51:40,361 --> 08:51:40,861
my apartment I made thank you

17694
08:51:40,861 --> 08:51:42,464
for that my work.

17695
08:51:42,464 --> 08:51:43,130
My voucher is Thank you so much

17696
08:51:43,130 --> 08:51:45,530
for that concluding remark.

17697
08:51:47,869 --> 08:51:50,505
John Brady John Brady you have

17698
08:51:50,505 --> 08:51:51,139
time to you by Matthew Carney

17699
08:51:51,139 --> 08:51:51,639
You'll have three minutes.

17700
08:51:51,639 --> 08:51:53,639
>> Please proceed.

17701
08:51:55,443 --> 08:51:56,110
So she's in behavioral health

17702
08:51:56,110 --> 08:51:56,410
program called No Place Like

17703
08:51:56,410 --> 08:51:57,211
Home.

17704
08:51:57,211 --> 08:52:00,811
It's supposed to be managed and

17705
08:52:00,848 --> 08:52:01,583
supported by case management.

17706
08:52:01,583 --> 08:52:05,183
From what I understand from and

17707
08:52:05,253 --> 08:52:05,753
I've been engaged with this

17708
08:52:05,753 --> 08:52:07,753
almost two years.

17709
08:52:10,625 --> 08:52:11,292
The client did not have she she

17710
08:52:11,292 --> 08:52:14,292
she did not have electricity

17711
08:52:15,196 --> 08:52:15,929
for over a year.

17712
08:52:15,929 --> 08:52:16,597
Meanwhile there was an electric

17713
08:52:16,597 --> 08:52:19,597
subsidy built into her rent.

17714
08:52:19,768 --> 08:52:20,468
She lost her hud voucher

17715
08:52:20,468 --> 08:52:21,360
apparently because not having

17716
08:52:21,360 --> 08:52:23,436
electricity is one of

17717
08:52:24,773 --> 08:52:25,740
the requirements from hud.

17718
08:52:25,740 --> 08:52:29,410
And yet there was a $69 a month

17719
08:52:29,410 --> 08:52:30,111
subsidy provided clearly in

17720
08:52:30,111 --> 08:52:30,779
the billing statements that I

17721
08:52:30,779 --> 08:52:33,779
have seen where the property

17722
08:52:34,950 --> 08:52:35,650
management should have been

17723
08:52:35,650 --> 08:52:36,250
either giving her money to pay

17724
08:52:36,250 --> 08:52:36,685
the subsidy or paid the

17725
08:52:36,685 --> 08:52:38,685
electric bill.

17726
08:52:39,954 --> 08:52:40,622
But for a $30 a month electric

17727
08:52:40,622 --> 08:52:43,220
bill somehow we've allowed

17728
08:52:45,600 --> 08:52:48,660
somebody a 61 year old woman to

17729
08:52:49,497 --> 08:52:50,165
become homeless.

17730
08:52:50,165 --> 08:52:50,832
And that's my problem here.

17731
08:52:50,832 --> 08:52:54,432
And this is the issue that

17732
08:52:54,435 --> 08:52:55,137
we've said multiple times

17733
08:52:55,137 --> 08:52:55,770
Nobody owns the client when it

17734
08:52:55,770 --> 08:52:58,170
comes to these situations.

17735
08:52:59,574 --> 08:53:00,275
I've been in the middle of a

17736
08:53:00,275 --> 08:53:00,876
circular shooting range and I

17737
08:53:00,876 --> 08:53:03,276
will give compliments to

17738
08:53:03,979 --> 08:53:04,646
the Housing commission because

17739
08:53:04,646 --> 08:53:05,347
they're the only ones that

17740
08:53:05,347 --> 08:53:06,140
really have gotten involved in

17741
08:53:06,140 --> 08:53:06,448
trying to figure out what's

17742
08:53:06,448 --> 08:53:08,448
happened here.

17743
08:53:08,917 --> 08:53:09,651
But it's been a week since

17744
08:53:09,651 --> 08:53:10,386
she's been evicted and we still

17745
08:53:10,386 --> 08:53:13,386
don't have any clarity about

17746
08:53:13,422 --> 08:53:14,389
why that happened.

17747
08:53:14,389 --> 08:53:18,589
And this is why we advocate for

17748
08:53:19,194 --> 08:53:19,894
an ombud someone within

17749
08:53:19,894 --> 08:53:20,629
the housing commission to look

17750
08:53:20,629 --> 08:53:23,732
at any eviction for anyone that

17751
08:53:23,732 --> 08:53:24,332
is in affordable or supportive

17752
08:53:24,332 --> 08:53:26,732
housing and reviews that

17753
08:53:27,703 --> 08:53:28,270
process to make sure that we

17754
08:53:28,270 --> 08:53:28,937
have done everything.

17755
08:53:28,937 --> 08:53:29,471
Clearly we've got behavioral

17756
08:53:29,471 --> 08:53:31,471
health issues here.

17757
08:53:33,442 --> 08:53:33,742
Clearly we did not do the right

17758
08:53:33,742 --> 08:53:35,742
thing.

17759
08:53:37,411 --> 08:53:37,779
We failed her and now she's

17760
08:53:37,779 --> 08:53:38,347
homeless.

17761
08:53:38,347 --> 08:53:38,747
She spent ten years on

17762
08:53:38,747 --> 08:53:40,747
the street.

17763
08:53:41,717 --> 08:53:42,117
We got her into housing for

17764
08:53:42,117 --> 08:53:42,851
four years.

17765
08:53:42,851 --> 08:53:43,585
Somehow they managed to let her

17766
08:53:43,585 --> 08:53:46,687
live there, paid the bill or

17767
08:53:46,687 --> 08:53:47,322
somehow for two years after

17768
08:53:47,322 --> 08:53:47,723
supposedly her voucher was

17769
08:53:47,723 --> 08:53:49,723
terminated.

17770
08:53:51,260 --> 08:53:51,660
And we still don't have clarity

17771
08:53:51,660 --> 08:53:54,600
about what happened here.

17772
08:53:55,930 --> 08:53:56,565
That's not acceptable And

17773
08:53:56,565 --> 08:53:57,232
there's another person who

17774
08:53:57,232 --> 08:54:00,536
wanted to come here but was

17775
08:54:00,536 --> 08:54:01,503
afraid to speak up who also has

17776
08:54:01,503 --> 08:54:05,274
a 60 day ad terminate a loss of

17777
08:54:05,274 --> 08:54:05,941
notice to move out because of

17778
08:54:05,941 --> 08:54:06,308
an electric bill that didn't

17779
08:54:06,308 --> 08:54:08,308
get paid.

17780
08:54:10,879 --> 08:54:11,513
And this is happening We get

17781
08:54:11,513 --> 08:54:13,913
these calls because nobody

17782
08:54:14,516 --> 08:54:15,184
knows where else to turn to and

17783
08:54:15,184 --> 08:54:15,884
this is happening a lot.

17784
08:54:15,884 --> 08:54:18,787
We cannot continue to allow

17785
08:54:18,787 --> 08:54:19,655
this to happen.

17786
08:54:19,655 --> 08:54:23,255
We need a role somewhere in

17787
08:54:24,660 --> 08:54:28,260
this giant system of ours to

17788
08:54:28,631 --> 08:54:29,598
make sure that no 61 year old,

17789
08:54:29,598 --> 08:54:30,331
63 year old nobody that is in a

17790
08:54:30,331 --> 08:54:32,731
behavioral health and permanent

17791
08:54:33,360 --> 08:54:33,636
supportive housing gets evicted

17792
08:54:33,636 --> 08:54:34,403
for this kind of money.

17793
08:54:34,403 --> 08:54:37,403
It's ridiculous And frankly we

17794
08:54:38,741 --> 08:54:39,108
should find housing for her.

17795
08:54:39,108 --> 08:54:41,108
Thank you.

17796
08:54:47,383 --> 08:54:47,883
Allegedly Andre, this is what

17797
08:54:47,883 --> 08:54:49,883
I'm talking about.

17798
08:54:52,188 --> 08:54:52,988
>> There's somebody right in

17799
08:54:52,988 --> 08:54:54,889
front of you guys and you just

17800
08:54:54,889 --> 08:54:59,890
sit up there on your phones and

17801
08:55:00,162 --> 08:55:00,796
like because it's the end of

17802
08:55:00,796 --> 08:55:04,396
the day you guys just went

17803
08:55:04,567 --> 08:55:05,301
through all of your your things

17804
08:55:05,301 --> 08:55:06,350
and it's like you're presented

17805
08:55:06,350 --> 08:55:09,350
with real life situations that

17806
08:55:10,172 --> 08:55:10,873
shouldn't be happening And you

17807
08:55:10,873 --> 08:55:11,373
sit here and you say that you

17808
08:55:11,373 --> 08:55:13,373
provide solutions.

17809
08:55:15,144 --> 08:55:15,610
This help has been weaponized.

17810
08:55:15,610 --> 08:55:16,278
These people are

17811
08:55:16,278 --> 08:55:16,946
the gatekeepers of that help

17812
08:55:16,946 --> 08:55:19,115
The ones that are going and

17813
08:55:19,115 --> 08:55:19,816
getting these grant funds that

17814
08:55:19,816 --> 08:55:22,816
you guys are distributing are

17815
08:55:24,530 --> 08:55:24,820
the problem because they are

17816
08:55:24,820 --> 08:55:26,256
the make or break her of you

17817
08:55:26,256 --> 08:55:30,456
being in a home and your rent

17818
08:55:31,627 --> 08:55:32,595
going up.

17819
08:55:32,595 --> 08:55:33,262
>> When are you guys going to

17820
08:55:33,262 --> 08:55:36,262
take it seriously like Joe

17821
08:55:36,599 --> 08:55:37,332
Those those shelters are nasty.

17822
08:55:37,332 --> 08:55:40,332
>> What Francis said is true.

17823
08:55:41,204 --> 08:55:42,238
Do you guys ever go to them?

17824
08:55:42,238 --> 08:55:45,741
>> I would like to see you guys

17825
08:55:45,741 --> 08:55:46,576
go stay at Tent City.

17826
08:55:46,576 --> 08:55:47,376
>> Tell me if you feel safe

17827
08:55:47,376 --> 08:55:50,376
overnight or even right out

17828
08:55:51,470 --> 08:55:54,470
here where these people lay

17829
08:55:55,284 --> 08:55:56,180
that you guys walk over.

17830
08:55:56,180 --> 08:55:56,651
>> I don't understand.

17831
08:55:56,651 --> 08:55:57,353
Like you sit here and talk

17832
08:55:57,353 --> 08:56:00,953
about caring and what you do.

17833
08:56:04,827 --> 08:56:05,327
What are you doing?

17834
08:56:05,327 --> 08:56:05,895
It's a disgrace.

17835
08:56:05,895 --> 08:56:07,895
It's so embarrassing.

17836
08:56:10,320 --> 08:56:10,834
It's so sad to see people cry

17837
08:56:10,834 --> 08:56:11,501
and then they have to leave And

17838
08:56:11,501 --> 08:56:12,235
people only want to come in

17839
08:56:12,235 --> 08:56:14,635
here because they're terrified.

17840
08:56:14,904 --> 08:56:15,538
>> They're terrified of

17841
08:56:15,538 --> 08:56:16,239
exposing what's happening

17842
08:56:16,239 --> 08:56:19,776
because it comes and it falls

17843
08:56:19,776 --> 08:56:21,776
upon deaf ears.

17844
08:56:24,847 --> 08:56:27,247
>> Natalie you're asking Hi.

17845
08:56:31,220 --> 08:56:32,210
Thank you for listening today.

17846
08:56:32,210 --> 08:56:32,722
Natalie Roshni I don't know if

17847
08:56:32,722 --> 08:56:35,158
you or guys are familiar with

17848
08:56:35,158 --> 08:56:35,926
who Robert Edward Grant is.

17849
08:56:35,926 --> 08:56:38,926
He's like a mathematical genius

17850
08:56:39,829 --> 08:56:40,496
and he created his own I called

17851
08:56:40,496 --> 08:56:43,496
Ryan architect and I had

17852
08:56:44,868 --> 08:56:45,535
the privilege to ask MR. Robert

17853
08:56:45,535 --> 08:56:49,135
Grant if he would ask his

17854
08:56:49,972 --> 08:56:50,406
architect how he would build

17855
08:56:50,406 --> 08:56:51,340
this shelter.

17856
08:56:51,340 --> 08:56:52,410
And I think this is where we

17857
08:56:52,410 --> 08:56:55,410
need to start thinking outside

17858
08:56:55,145 --> 08:56:58,745
of the box and really think

17859
08:57:00,490 --> 08:57:00,684
about resonating with Earth's

17860
08:57:00,684 --> 08:57:01,417
frequency and how we build

17861
08:57:01,417 --> 08:57:05,170
things because we have all of

17862
08:57:05,488 --> 08:57:06,256
these energies that are coming

17863
08:57:06,256 --> 08:57:07,223
at us all the time And I like

17864
08:57:07,223 --> 08:57:09,726
to hear Do you hear a little

17865
08:57:09,726 --> 08:57:10,292
bit of what he said from

17866
08:57:10,292 --> 08:57:12,292
the Kodak perspective?

17867
08:57:14,564 --> 08:57:15,165
>> Homelessness is not merely

17868
08:57:15,165 --> 08:57:15,832
the absence of shelter.

17869
08:57:15,832 --> 08:57:18,832
It is the disconnection from

17870
08:57:19,602 --> 08:57:20,403
the basic harmonic triad one

17871
08:57:20,403 --> 08:57:22,803
root stability, shelter and

17872
08:57:24,730 --> 08:57:26,473
safety to emotional resonance

17873
08:57:28,511 --> 08:57:30,511
community and belonging.

17874
08:57:33,316 --> 08:57:33,917
Three Personal frequency

17875
08:57:33,917 --> 08:57:34,617
Meaningful contribution.

17876
08:57:34,617 --> 08:57:35,285
When these harmonics collapse

17877
08:57:35,285 --> 08:57:38,285
the individual falls out of

17878
08:57:40,590 --> 08:57:42,990
phase with social structures

17879
08:57:44,930 --> 08:57:44,961
solution Restoring harmonic

17880
08:57:44,961 --> 08:57:47,961
coherence one anchor the root

17881
08:57:49,566 --> 08:57:50,300
frequency create transitional

17882
08:57:50,300 --> 08:57:53,300
harmonic shelters not just beds

17883
08:57:54,170 --> 08:57:54,871
but spaces tuned with sound

17884
08:57:54,871 --> 08:57:56,673
light and geometry that

17885
08:57:56,673 --> 08:57:59,673
stabilize the root chakra use

17886
08:58:02,312 --> 08:58:05,912
432 You can you can look Thank

17887
08:58:16,260 --> 08:58:16,460
you Kestrel as castronovo.

17888
08:58:16,460 --> 08:58:18,460
Good evening.

17889
08:58:21,130 --> 08:58:21,999
I would just like to simply add

17890
08:58:21,999 --> 08:58:25,599
to feelings that have been said

17891
08:58:25,802 --> 08:58:28,802
that I would encourage and

17892
08:58:30,607 --> 08:58:34,807
actually urge all of you to go

17893
08:58:35,246 --> 08:58:38,846
visit any of these shelters or

17894
08:58:40,490 --> 08:58:43,649
places that are funded But not

17895
08:58:44,755 --> 08:58:45,722
pre noticed If there's any way

17896
08:58:45,722 --> 08:58:49,322
you can visit them and walk

17897
08:58:49,793 --> 08:58:50,561
the walk that someone MAY have

17898
08:58:50,561 --> 08:58:53,561
to walk when they're doing

17899
08:58:54,364 --> 08:58:54,730
intake and see what's really

17900
08:58:54,730 --> 08:58:56,730
going on.

17901
08:58:59,169 --> 08:59:02,769
I have spoken with people that

17902
08:59:03,707 --> 08:59:04,408
have taken job opportunities at

17903
08:59:04,408 --> 08:59:05,542
specific shelters and they've

17904
08:59:05,542 --> 08:59:09,142
worked a few days and couldn't

17905
08:59:10,748 --> 08:59:11,515
do it.

17906
08:59:11,515 --> 08:59:15,115
They said the way things were

17907
08:59:19,890 --> 08:59:20,190
being run they at best were not

17908
08:59:20,190 --> 08:59:20,957
.

17909
08:59:20,957 --> 08:59:23,957
They were being managed very

17910
08:59:25,296 --> 08:59:29,496
well and I've talked to a lot

17911
08:59:30,340 --> 08:59:33,340
of different people that work

17912
08:59:34,710 --> 08:59:34,805
in the field in the trenches

17913
08:59:34,805 --> 08:59:37,805
and they all agree something

17914
08:59:39,430 --> 08:59:39,343
needs to be done and no one's

17915
08:59:39,343 --> 08:59:39,977
there.

17916
08:59:39,977 --> 08:59:42,377
Direct report tools aren't

17917
08:59:43,847 --> 08:59:44,715
managing it.

17918
08:59:44,715 --> 08:59:45,416
And I'll try to think how to

17919
08:59:45,416 --> 08:59:45,716
make a better presentation on

17920
08:59:45,716 --> 08:59:47,716
this.

17921
08:59:51,556 --> 08:59:52,220
>> Thank you.

17922
08:59:52,220 --> 08:59:52,656
Thank you.

17923
08:59:52,656 --> 08:59:53,190
Sorry The five minute time

17924
08:59:53,190 --> 08:59:53,791
we're going to those

17925
08:59:53,791 --> 08:59:55,593
participating remotely.

17926
08:59:55,593 --> 08:59:56,260
We currently have two speakers

17927
08:59:56,260 --> 08:59:56,693
in the queue.

17928
08:59:56,693 --> 08:59:57,128
>> Blair Beckman if you can

17929
08:59:57,128 --> 08:59:59,128
please unmute.

17930
09:00:00,865 --> 09:00:01,298
Oh hi.

17931
09:00:01,298 --> 09:00:01,999
Blair Bateman.

17932
09:00:01,999 --> 09:00:04,768
I am attending the Paul Simon

17933
09:00:04,768 --> 09:00:05,136
concert tonight at the Ready

17934
09:00:05,136 --> 09:00:05,836
Ben Show.

17935
09:00:05,836 --> 09:00:09,436
I'm sitting down here now and

17936
09:00:10,700 --> 09:00:10,674
so he had because of covid he's

17937
09:00:10,674 --> 09:00:14,274
lost his hearing a bit and

17938
09:00:15,112 --> 09:00:15,712
that's really sad for an artist

17939
09:00:15,712 --> 09:00:18,712
such as him this music.

17940
09:00:19,550 --> 09:00:20,250
A reminder that with our

17941
09:00:20,250 --> 09:00:20,850
bureaucracy as I said earlier,

17942
09:00:20,850 --> 09:00:21,252
people can fall through

17943
09:00:21,252 --> 09:00:23,252
the cracks.

17944
09:00:23,988 --> 09:00:24,689
We're at a time I said that

17945
09:00:24,689 --> 09:00:25,423
this morning where the time to

17946
09:00:25,423 --> 09:00:28,759
we can more quickly help people

17947
09:00:28,759 --> 09:00:29,460
when we see that happening and

17948
09:00:29,460 --> 09:00:33,600
make adjustments And I hope we

17949
09:00:33,497 --> 09:00:33,831
can be helping the person today

17950
09:00:33,831 --> 09:00:34,532
.

17951
09:00:34,532 --> 09:00:35,266
Good luck on those efforts.

17952
09:00:35,266 --> 09:00:38,469
Good luck in the efforts that I

17953
09:00:38,469 --> 09:00:39,700
guess it would Market rate

17954
09:00:39,700 --> 09:00:41,470
housing that has helped

17955
09:00:43,240 --> 09:00:43,975
kickstart a new housing boom

17956
09:00:43,975 --> 09:00:44,675
that's slowly happening or kind

17957
09:00:44,675 --> 09:00:45,209
of happening in California at

17958
09:00:45,209 --> 09:00:47,209
this time possibly.

17959
09:00:48,880 --> 09:00:49,613
Can we adjust ourselves to want

17960
09:00:49,613 --> 09:00:52,613
to consider middle income more?

17961
09:00:53,117 --> 09:00:53,818
And I hope we can.

17962
09:00:53,818 --> 09:00:56,818
It's an important concept how

17963
09:00:58,422 --> 09:00:59,290
we be addressing the items

17964
09:00:59,290 --> 09:01:02,890
these sort of items with city

17965
09:01:04,462 --> 09:01:04,762
governments, staff and their

17966
09:01:04,762 --> 09:01:05,329
work.

17967
09:01:05,329 --> 09:01:05,997
You Good day Thunder.

17968
09:01:05,997 --> 09:01:06,697
I hope we're going to be

17969
09:01:06,697 --> 09:01:08,332
working more at the New York

17970
09:01:08,332 --> 09:01:09,330
City Center and concentrating

17971
09:01:09,330 --> 09:01:09,901
on their social service needs

17972
09:01:09,901 --> 09:01:14,101
and that can be more of a

17973
09:01:14,806 --> 09:01:15,206
regular item and we can

17974
09:01:15,206 --> 09:01:15,572
continue on.

17975
09:01:15,572 --> 09:01:16,390
Neil Good.

17976
09:01:16,390 --> 09:01:18,390
And to conclude.

17977
09:01:18,142 --> 09:01:18,910
Really good luck.

17978
09:01:18,910 --> 09:01:21,910
Well I'll save my concluding

17979
09:01:22,914 --> 09:01:23,648

17988
09:01:39,296 --> 09:01:41,296
of Head.

17989
09:01:44,636 --> 09:01:47,360
Recently I've one of

17990
09:01:49,730 --> 09:01:49,973
the unhoused friends I've made

17991
09:01:49,973 --> 09:01:53,573

17992
09:01:54,578 --> 09:01:58,178

job opportunity No no You know

17994
09:02:00,351 --> 09:02:04,551
ability to get into a home a

17995
09:02:04,622 --> 09:02:05,390
real home and have a room of

17996
09:02:05,390 --> 09:02:08,390
one's own is what everyone

17997
09:02:08,626 --> 09:02:11,260
really needs and deserves.

17998
09:02:13,498 --> 09:02:13,955
And there's a lack of

17999
09:02:13,955 --> 09:02:14,599
the community.

18000
09:02:14,599 --> 09:02:15,300
i mean earlier we're talking

18001
09:02:15,300 --> 09:02:15,967
about the cutting of the arts

18002
09:02:15,967 --> 09:02:18,670
and the culture And and you

18003
09:02:18,670 --> 09:02:19,204
know, I think about, you know,

18004
09:02:19,204 --> 09:02:19,871
community programs.

18005
09:02:19,871 --> 09:02:22,871
Let's not leave the unhoused

18006
09:02:23,375 --> 09:02:24,420
community out of community

18007
09:02:24,420 --> 09:02:24,742
programs that are fun and

18008
09:02:24,742 --> 09:02:27,742
social and like you know,

18009
09:02:28,914 --> 09:02:29,381
include the learning but also

18010
09:02:29,381 --> 09:02:31,381
just community.

18011
09:02:33,351 --> 09:02:34,510
I want to suggest that, you

18012
09:02:34,510 --> 09:02:34,719
know, it's been awesome to see

18013
09:02:34,719 --> 09:02:37,119
the Prebys Foundation really

18014
09:02:38,423 --> 09:02:42,623
step up and throw down And they

18015
09:02:43,280 --> 09:02:43,828
do a lot of focus on belonging

18016
09:02:43,828 --> 09:02:47,132
And what would it mean for

18017
09:02:47,132 --> 09:02:47,899
the unhoused folks that you

18018
09:02:47,899 --> 09:02:49,899
know, people struggling

18019
09:02:52,103 --> 09:02:52,871
the impoverished, the you know

18020
09:02:52,871 --> 09:02:53,572
,to actually feel like they

18021
09:02:53,572 --> 09:02:54,306
mattered and they were part of

18022
09:02:54,306 --> 09:02:57,209
the community know that's where

18023
09:02:57,209 --> 09:03:00,612
we need to spend money and

18024
09:03:00,612 --> 09:03:03,120
focus I believe things.

18025
09:03:05,851 --> 09:03:06,151
Nancy, if you can please unmute

18026
09:03:06,151 --> 09:03:06,651
.

18027
09:03:06,651 --> 09:03:07,419
>> Hi there.

18028
09:03:07,419 --> 09:03:10,419
I'm Nancy with your Families

18029
09:03:10,922 --> 09:03:11,790
for Justice.

18030
09:03:11,790 --> 09:03:12,357
Um, I'm getting an alert about

18031
09:03:12,357 --> 09:03:14,757
being a panelist here.

18032
09:03:17,462 --> 09:03:18,630
When I say can I get you some

18033
09:03:18,630 --> 09:03:18,730
time my apologies please

18034
09:03:18,730 --> 09:03:21,990
decline will pass your time.

18035
09:03:21,990 --> 09:03:21,466
Right.

18036
09:03:21,466 --> 09:03:21,867
>> Okay.

18037
09:03:21,867 --> 09:03:22,668
Thank you.

18038
09:03:22,668 --> 09:03:26,380
Um, I work in homeless services

18039
09:03:26,380 --> 09:03:26,570
for three agencies implementing

18040
09:03:26,570 --> 09:03:28,570
counseling programs.

18041
09:03:29,841 --> 09:03:30,442
My team previously housed 85

18042
09:03:30,442 --> 09:03:30,876
people with each year in

18043
09:03:30,876 --> 09:03:32,876
the pandemic.

18044
09:03:34,146 --> 09:03:34,813
I am extremely concerned about

18045
09:03:34,813 --> 09:03:35,180
all of those people becoming

18046
09:03:35,180 --> 09:03:35,813
homeless.

18047
09:03:35,813 --> 09:03:38,213
>> In OCTOBER the Housing

18048
09:03:39,318 --> 09:03:41,687
Commission budget could do more

18049
09:03:41,687 --> 09:03:44,687
to ensure protections for those

18050
09:03:47,826 --> 09:03:48,594
people.

18051
09:03:48,594 --> 09:03:49,261
I also want to mention that

18052
09:03:49,261 --> 09:03:49,962
counseling programs are not

18053
09:03:49,962 --> 09:03:52,364
going to be the solution that

18054
09:03:52,364 --> 09:03:52,965
you think they are or want them

18055
09:03:52,965 --> 09:03:53,666
to be especially when

18056
09:03:53,666 --> 09:03:56,660
the Medi-Cal enrollment comes

18057
09:03:57,870 --> 09:03:58,637
and I spoke about this before.

18058
09:03:58,637 --> 09:04:02,400
But truly if people cannot get

18059
09:04:02,400 --> 09:04:02,674
their mail at the gate center

18060
09:04:02,674 --> 09:04:03,740
to maintain their medical

18061
09:04:03,740 --> 09:04:03,776
enrollment.

18062
09:04:03,776 --> 09:04:06,311
That's going to be a problem.

18063
09:04:06,311 --> 09:04:06,979
They will lose their counseling

18064
09:04:06,979 --> 09:04:09,979
case manager if they cannot

18065
09:04:10,982 --> 09:04:11,583
complete a job requirement or

18066
09:04:11,583 --> 09:04:12,284
training or educational

18067
09:04:12,284 --> 09:04:12,618
programs, they will lose their

18068
09:04:12,618 --> 09:04:14,618
medical.

18069
09:04:17,790 --> 09:04:18,900
We're going to have overflowing

18070
09:04:18,900 --> 09:04:18,724
.

18071
09:04:18,724 --> 09:04:19,424
So keeping something like

18072
09:04:19,424 --> 09:04:19,724
the your good day center makes

18073
09:04:19,724 --> 09:04:20,993
sense.

18074
09:04:20,993 --> 09:04:21,393
Also love the idea of

18075
09:04:21,393 --> 09:04:22,610
the person.

18076
09:04:22,610 --> 09:04:24,461
I have attempted personally

18077
09:04:25,964 --> 09:04:26,531
with my staff to get numerous

18078
09:04:26,531 --> 09:04:27,199
people into permanent

18079
09:04:27,199 --> 09:04:29,599
supportive housing when they

18080
09:04:30,836 --> 09:04:31,603
get matches but if they cannot

18081
09:04:31,603 --> 09:04:35,203
act swift and arch they lose

18082
09:04:35,674 --> 09:04:36,108
that chance to even get in to

18083
09:04:36,108 --> 09:04:36,842
the queue.

18084
09:04:36,842 --> 09:04:39,242
And especially navigating these

18085
09:04:41,180 --> 09:04:41,980
instances of eviction I think

18086
09:04:41,980 --> 09:04:42,681
it's a great ask and a really

18087
09:04:42,681 --> 09:04:43,115
encouraged to incorporate that

18088
09:04:43,115 --> 09:04:43,482
in the budget.

18089
09:04:43,482 --> 09:04:45,482
Thank you.

18090
09:04:46,285 --> 09:04:46,886
Thank you.

18091
09:04:46,886 --> 09:04:47,452
>> That concludes public

18092
09:04:47,452 --> 09:04:47,820
comment on this item.

18093
09:04:47,820 --> 09:04:48,387
All right.

18094
09:04:48,387 --> 09:04:50,787
Thank you, City Clerk.

18095
09:04:51,123 --> 09:04:51,724
So before we turn this over to

18096
09:04:51,724 --> 09:04:52,424
my members for questions

18097
09:04:52,424 --> 09:04:54,760
comments entertain a motion Is

18098
09:04:54,760 --> 09:04:55,194
this individual getting some

18099
09:04:55,194 --> 09:04:57,194
help, Lisa?

18100
09:04:59,798 --> 09:05:00,990
Okay.

18101
09:05:00,990 --> 09:05:02,990
Yes.

18102
09:05:05,271 --> 09:05:05,838
Casey was aware of this

18103
09:05:05,838 --> 09:05:06,371
particular situation.

18104
09:05:06,371 --> 09:05:08,771
It is quite complex.

18105
09:05:10,800 --> 09:05:10,743
It seems like something's been

18106
09:05:10,743 --> 09:05:11,444
devolving for a couple of years

18107
09:05:11,444 --> 09:05:14,780
now and we're trying to figure

18108
09:05:14,780 --> 09:05:15,514
out what that looks like.

18109
09:05:15,514 --> 09:05:16,148
In the meantime, we're also

18110
09:05:16,148 --> 09:05:19,148
trying to offer a shelter

18111
09:05:19,285 --> 09:05:19,952
opportunities and other interim

18112
09:05:19,952 --> 09:05:20,419
housing while we figure out

18113
09:05:20,419 --> 09:05:20,720
what's happened.

18114
09:05:20,720 --> 09:05:22,720
Okay.

18115
09:05:23,856 --> 09:05:24,823
Thank you for that effort So

18116
09:05:24,823 --> 09:05:25,524
with that I'll turn it over to

18117
09:05:25,524 --> 09:05:28,524

18121

09:05:44,744 --> 09:05:46,744
managing a significant

18131
09:05:48,470 --> 09:05:48,681
portfolio of affordable housing

18132
09:05:48,681 --> 09:05:51,810
Despite the volatility of

18133
09:05:52,518 --> 09:05:53,352
federal and state funding.

18134
09:05:53,352 --> 09:05:54,530
I do want to thank the Housing

18135
09:05:54,530 --> 09:05:54,787
Commission team for continuing

18136
09:05:54,787 --> 09:05:57,590
to ensure that Santiago remains

18137
09:05:57,590 --> 09:05:58,291
competitive and proactive when

18138
09:05:58,291 --> 09:05:58,724
it comes to leveraging many of

18139
09:05:58,724 --> 09:06:00,724
our programs.

18140
09:06:02,695 --> 09:06:03,429
You continue to pursue vouchers

18141
09:06:03,429 --> 09:06:07,500
as difficult as that is in this

18142
09:06:07,500 --> 09:06:08,201
environment And to embrace

18143
09:06:08,201 --> 09:06:08,601
additional affordable housing

18144
09:06:08,601 --> 09:06:09,268
production.

18145
09:06:09,268 --> 09:06:12,137
I don't want to pretend like

18146
09:06:12,137 --> 09:06:12,839
any of the work that you've

18147
09:06:12,839 --> 09:06:13,572
done has been easy especially

18148
09:06:13,572 --> 09:06:16,709
in an environment where we have

18149
09:06:16,709 --> 09:06:17,410
our challenges continue to

18150
09:06:17,410 --> 09:06:17,810
outpace our ability to address

18151
09:06:17,810 --> 09:06:19,810
all of them.

18152
09:06:21,948 --> 09:06:22,648
And what I want to share is

18153
09:06:22,648 --> 09:06:23,383
that reflected in this budget

18154
09:06:23,383 --> 09:06:26,383
is the Housing Commission's own

18155
09:06:26,552 --> 09:06:27,287
efforts to make the difficult

18156
09:06:27,287 --> 09:06:28,200
decisions that it's had to make

18157
09:06:28,200 --> 09:06:31,200
doing so by engaging with

18158
09:06:31,624 --> 09:06:32,358
stakeholders and ultimately by

18159
09:06:32,358 --> 09:06:35,695
acting with urgency so that you

18160
09:06:35,695 --> 09:06:36,396
can get ahead of some of

18161
09:06:36,396 --> 09:06:39,996
the cliffs that you are bound

18162
09:06:40,933 --> 09:06:41,634
to face shortly And I think

18163
09:06:41,634 --> 09:06:41,968
that work is reflected in this

18164
09:06:41,968 --> 09:06:42,602
budget.

18165
09:06:42,602 --> 09:06:43,269
It's reflected in some of

18166
09:06:43,269 --> 09:06:45,505
the conversations we've had

18167
09:06:45,505 --> 09:06:46,206
with this council as well And I

18168
09:06:46,206 --> 09:06:49,206
think there are some positives

18169
09:06:50,243 --> 09:06:51,100
on the horizon too.

18170
09:06:51,100 --> 09:06:51,711
I want to thank you for

18171
09:06:51,711 --> 09:06:54,647
continuing to lead the way in

18172
09:06:54,647 --> 09:06:55,315
particular on preservation

18173
09:06:55,315 --> 09:06:55,948
efforts and to Councilmember

18174
09:06:55,948 --> 09:06:58,348
Moreno especially for her

18175
09:06:59,719 --> 09:07:00,319
continued leadership and

18176
09:07:00,319 --> 09:07:00,887
advocacy on that front.

18177
09:07:00,887 --> 09:07:01,554
I'm looking forward to

18178
09:07:01,554 --> 09:07:04,554
the council taking our next

18179
09:07:04,891 --> 09:07:05,492
steps to officially approve

18180
09:07:05,492 --> 09:07:06,226
the establishment of an

18181
09:07:06,226 --> 09:07:08,226
affordable Housing preservation

18182
09:07:09,495 --> 09:07:10,263
fund.

18183
09:07:10,263 --> 09:07:10,964
So with that again want to

18184
09:07:10,964 --> 09:07:11,631
share my thanks to the Housing

18185
09:07:11,631 --> 09:07:14,300
Commission for the work that

18186
09:07:14,300 --> 09:07:17,770
you do And given the recent

18187
09:07:17,770 --> 09:07:18,672
approval we just took on the f

18188
09:07:18,672 --> 09:07:22,272
y 27 adopted budget I do want

18189
09:07:23,900 --> 09:07:23,877
to make a motion and I'm going

18190
09:07:23,877 --> 09:07:24,644
to ask to be put up on the on

18191
09:07:24,644 --> 09:07:27,981
the slides with an amendment to

18192
09:07:27,981 --> 09:07:28,548
it which is to approve the f y

18193
09:07:28,548 --> 09:07:30,548
2027 San Diego Housing

18194
09:07:31,785 --> 09:07:32,285
Commission budget as proposed

09:07:32,285 --> 09:07:34,285

09:07:36,422 --> 09:07:37,123

$2.6 million from the City of

09:07:37,791 --> 09:07:40,191
Santa Cruz neighborhood and

18199
09:07:41,294 --> 09:07:41,995
Enhancement Fee Fund to be

18200
09:07:41,995 --> 09:07:42,729
transferred to the Affordable

18202
09:07:43,296 --> 09:07:45,696
managed by the Housing

18203
09:07:45,799 --> 09:07:46,433
Commission and two adjustments

18204
09:07:46,433 --> 09:07:47,167
to conform to alternative

18205
09:07:47,167 --> 09:07:49,167
homelessness program reductions

18206
09:07:50,936 --> 09:07:51,638
adopted in the City of San

18207
09:07:51,638 --> 09:07:54,638
Diego f y 2027 adopted budget

18208
09:07:55,509 --> 09:07:56,209
as described in the Independent

18209
09:07:56,209 --> 09:07:58,609
Budget analysts report Number

18210
09:07:59,411 --> 09:08:00,113
26 Dash 15 on pages seven

18211
09:08:00,113 --> 09:08:03,113
through nine and this motion

18212
09:08:04,184 --> 09:08:04,885
simply assures that in

18213
09:08:04,885 --> 09:08:07,885
approving this budget we make

18214
09:08:09,122 --> 09:08:09,823
the necessary changes to match

18215
09:08:09,823 --> 09:08:10,523
to the adopted budget that

18216
09:08:10,523 --> 09:08:11,123
the Council just passed Right

18217
09:08:11,123 --> 09:08:13,523
before this concludes my

18218
09:08:14,493 --> 09:08:14,794
comments.

18219
09:08:14,794 --> 09:08:15,195
Okay.

18220
09:08:15,195 --> 09:08:15,862
Thank you.

18221
09:08:15,862 --> 09:08:18,862
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem I

18222
09:08:19,432 --> 09:08:19,932
believe you probably were aware

18223
09:08:19,932 --> 09:08:20,233
of these changes.

18224
09:08:20,233 --> 09:08:20,867
Yeah.

18225
09:08:20,867 --> 09:08:23,867
Okay I see nodding heads.

18226
09:08:24,710 --> 09:08:24,504
I will go next to Councilmember

18227
09:08:24,504 --> 09:08:25,205
Ella Rivera.

18228
09:08:25,205 --> 09:08:25,906
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

18229
09:08:25,906 --> 09:08:26,206
Thank you for the presentation

18230
09:08:26,206 --> 09:08:27,240
here.

18231
09:08:27,240 --> 09:08:29,640
I'll start by seconding

18232
09:08:31,845 --> 09:08:33,845
the motion.

18233
09:08:37,484 --> 09:08:38,850
Everything PRESIDENT Pro tem

18234
09:08:38,850 --> 09:08:38,752
said about the difficult

18235
09:08:38,752 --> 09:08:41,152
circumstances that we're in.

18236
09:08:42,890 --> 09:08:42,889
Lisa thank you for making sure

18237
09:08:42,889 --> 09:08:46,125
your team is out there and

18238
09:08:46,125 --> 09:08:48,525
working to provide support.

18239
09:08:51,265 --> 09:08:52,166
It would be good to know if

18240
09:08:52,166 --> 09:08:55,766
the council could get an update

18241
09:08:55,936 --> 09:08:56,603
on the status but I also want

18242
09:08:56,603 --> 09:08:57,304
to recognize that every time

18243
09:08:57,304 --> 09:09:00,174
we've been in a situation like

18244
09:09:00,174 --> 09:09:00,874
this I know you care enough to

18245
09:09:00,874 --> 09:09:03,874
like I was personally involved

18246
09:09:05,312 --> 09:09:05,979
yourself in making sure that

18247
09:09:05,979 --> 09:09:09,579
folks are taken care of to

18248
09:09:09,683 --> 09:09:10,350
the best of your ability And

18249
09:09:10,350 --> 09:09:11,510
that's incredibly difficult

18250
09:09:11,510 --> 09:09:14,510
because the resources that you

18251
09:09:15,122 --> 09:09:18,722
are are provided to deal with

18252
09:09:19,660 --> 09:09:20,600
these with the whole thing is

18253
09:09:20,600 --> 09:09:21,280
not enough.

18254
09:09:21,280 --> 09:09:25,299
And I know that if you had your

18255
09:09:25,299 --> 09:09:26,660
way everyone would be taken

18256
09:09:26,660 --> 09:09:26,834
care of in a much better way

18257
09:09:26,834 --> 09:09:29,834
than than we currently Take

18258
09:09:30,237 --> 09:09:31,710
care of people.

18259
09:09:31,710 --> 09:09:31,939
I just want to you don't have

18260
09:09:31,939 --> 09:09:34,975
to respond to that if you want

18261
09:09:34,975 --> 09:09:38,779
to You can I guess I will just

18262
09:09:38,779 --> 09:09:39,446
say so We weren't unaware of

18263
09:09:39,446 --> 09:09:42,446
this woman's case and our

18264
09:09:43,784 --> 09:09:44,385
homeless team in our rental

18265
09:09:44,385 --> 09:09:45,180
assistance team has been

18266
09:09:45,180 --> 09:09:47,418
working together on this.

18267
09:09:48,455 --> 09:09:49,156
It's a lot to unravel but it

18268
09:09:49,156 --> 09:09:49,823
feels like there are sort of

18269
09:09:49,823 --> 09:09:52,223
multiple places where either

18270
09:09:53,600 --> 09:09:53,794
the system or the regulations

18271
09:09:53,794 --> 09:09:56,794
failed This client whether it's

18272
09:09:58,199 --> 09:09:58,899
property management supervision

18273
09:09:58,899 --> 09:09:59,633
,voucher requirements that

18274
09:09:59,633 --> 09:10:00,301
there's sort of multiple things

18275
09:10:00,301 --> 09:10:03,301
that came together that that

18276
09:10:03,671 --> 09:10:04,371
did not serve her and she fell

18277
09:10:04,371 --> 09:10:07,971
through that net And that is

18278
09:10:08,142 --> 09:10:08,843
very obviously very concerning

18279
09:10:08,843 --> 09:10:09,543
and really demonstrates that

18280
09:10:09,543 --> 09:10:12,543
our programs still need to

18281
09:10:13,314 --> 09:10:14,130
improve and look different than

18282
09:10:14,130 --> 09:10:14,715
they do when the programs are

18283
09:10:14,715 --> 09:10:17,715
supposed to keep people house

18284
09:10:17,817 --> 09:10:18,118
end up potentially penalizing

18285
09:10:18,118 --> 09:10:18,418
them.

18286
09:10:18,418 --> 09:10:19,520
Right.

18287
09:10:19,520 --> 09:10:21,452
And when service provision

18288
09:10:22,590 --> 09:10:23,124
isn't enough to actually help

18289
09:10:23,124 --> 09:10:23,857
them navigate that.

18290
09:10:23,857 --> 09:10:24,826
So we're doing what we can to

18291
09:10:24,826 --> 09:10:27,394
look into it and we'll keep you

18292
09:10:27,394 --> 09:10:27,928
updated.

18293
09:10:27,928 --> 09:10:28,829
I appreciate that.

18294
09:10:28,829 --> 09:10:32,333
And there's parts of this that

18295
09:10:32,333 --> 09:10:32,667
are as you said, difficult to

18296
09:10:32,667 --> 09:10:34,667
unravel.

18297
09:10:36,671 --> 09:10:40,871
There's a lot going on and some

18298
09:10:41,876 --> 09:10:42,576
of it, you know, just could be

18299
09:10:42,576 --> 09:10:43,210
about designing a system that

18300
09:10:43,210 --> 09:10:45,610
doesn't treat every person

18301
09:10:46,948 --> 09:10:47,715
seeking assistance as a suspect

18302
09:10:47,715 --> 09:10:50,851
and instead shows up to support

18303
09:10:50,851 --> 09:10:51,552
them and say no one should be

18304
09:10:51,552 --> 09:10:52,253
homeless because housing is a

18305
09:10:52,253 --> 09:10:52,753
human right and we're going to

18306
09:10:52,753 --> 09:10:54,654
start from there.

18307
09:10:54,654 --> 09:10:57,654
But that's not the system

18308
09:10:59,492 --> 09:11:00,161
that's been built And until

18309
09:11:00,161 --> 09:11:03,161
that's the way we approach

18310
09:11:04,698 --> 09:11:08,298
things we're not going to be

18311
09:11:08,936 --> 09:11:09,637
doing folks that we're not

18312
09:11:09,637 --> 09:11:10,137
going to be treating people as

18313
09:11:10,137 --> 09:11:12,537
well as we should.

18314
09:11:14,800 --> 09:11:18,208
At the same time you have again

18315
09:11:18,613 --> 09:11:19,113
fewer resources than you should

18316
09:11:19,113 --> 09:11:19,981
be working with.

18317
09:11:19,981 --> 09:11:22,981
Those resources are being a

18318
09:11:28,156 --> 09:11:28,923
chainsaw is being taken to them

18319
09:11:28,923 --> 09:11:29,490
at the federal level and that's

18320
09:11:29,490 --> 09:11:31,490
unacceptable as well.

18321
09:11:33,861 --> 09:11:37,461
And so you know, while we're

18322
09:11:38,599 --> 09:11:39,367
welcome to all go on too long

18323
09:11:39,367 --> 09:11:40,234
about this, we know it's been a

18324
09:11:40,234 --> 09:11:43,371
long day but it is so

18325
09:11:43,371 --> 09:11:44,138
frustrating to see folks

18326
09:11:44,138 --> 09:11:47,738
showing up needing this sort of

18327
09:11:48,420 --> 09:11:48,743
assistance and yes, people

18328
09:11:48,743 --> 09:11:49,444
sleeping outside this building

18329
09:11:49,444 --> 09:11:52,380
while we are spending billions

18330
09:11:52,380 --> 09:11:53,470
of dollars on an unnecessary

18331
09:11:53,470 --> 09:11:53,748
war while we are giving away

18332
09:11:53,748 --> 09:11:56,148
handouts to billionaires while

18333
09:11:57,352 --> 09:11:57,952
we are doing everything except

18334
09:11:57,952 --> 09:12:00,952
taking care of the most

18335
09:12:01,890 --> 09:12:02,490
vulnerable people and at

18336
09:12:02,490 --> 09:12:05,490
the local level also not

18337
09:12:07,950 --> 09:12:07,896
willing to make people who have

18338
09:12:07,896 --> 09:12:10,896
multiple homes pay their fair

18339
09:12:11,766 --> 09:12:12,467
share not asking some of

18340
09:12:12,467 --> 09:12:13,168
the wealthiest corporations in

18341
09:12:13,168 --> 09:12:16,471
the country to pay their fair

18342
09:12:16,471 --> 09:12:17,272
share.

18343
09:12:17,272 --> 09:12:17,872
All of that is happening.

18344
09:12:17,872 --> 09:12:18,506
We could have dedicated

18345
09:12:18,506 --> 09:12:21,342
resources to take care of

18346
09:12:21,342 --> 09:12:22,210
people better So just like

18347
09:12:22,210 --> 09:12:25,980
the city budget is a is an

18348
09:12:25,980 --> 09:12:26,681
opportunity for choices, there

18349
09:12:26,681 --> 09:12:29,681
are choices that are involved

18350
09:12:31,286 --> 09:12:32,153
in why we are where we are.

18351
09:12:32,153 --> 09:12:35,153
I will just finish by

18352
09:12:35,957 --> 09:12:36,657
expressing the appreciation

18353
09:12:36,657 --> 09:12:37,426
that Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem

18354
09:12:37,426 --> 09:12:40,629
shared for you Seeing this and

18355
09:12:40,629 --> 09:12:41,263
acting and making difficult

18356
09:12:41,263 --> 09:12:43,263
decisions earlier earlier

18357
09:12:45,367 --> 09:12:46,100
rather than later to avoid

18358
09:12:46,100 --> 09:12:46,701
the painful decisions that

18359
09:12:46,701 --> 09:12:49,701
we're wrestling with and being

18360
09:12:49,771 --> 09:12:50,438
even more painful.

18361
09:12:50,438 --> 09:12:51,138
So thank you Lisa.

18362
09:12:51,138 --> 09:12:51,773
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

18363
09:12:51,773 --> 09:12:52,139
That concludes my second.

18364
09:12:52,139 --> 09:12:54,139
All right.

18365
09:12:55,310 --> 09:12:55,944
So we have a motion by Council

18366
09:12:55,944 --> 09:12:56,611
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee and

18367
09:12:56,611 --> 09:12:59,611
second by council member Eli

18368
09:13:00,182 --> 09:13:00,582
Rivera as shown up on

18369
09:13:00,582 --> 09:13:01,316
the screen.

18370
09:13:01,316 --> 09:13:04,316
And thank you council PRESIDENT

18371
09:13:05,620 --> 09:13:06,321
For dotting the I's and

18372
09:13:06,321 --> 09:13:06,955
crossing the t's and make sure

18373
09:13:06,955 --> 09:13:09,657
that the two actions today

18374
09:13:09,657 --> 09:13:10,592
correlated.

18375
09:13:10,592 --> 09:13:11,125
>> And we'll go next to council

18376
09:13:11,125 --> 09:13:11,493
member Von Wolpert.

18377
09:13:11,493 --> 09:13:12,160
Thank you.

18378
09:13:12,160 --> 09:13:14,560
Council PRESIDENT Yes, thank

18379
09:13:15,664 --> 09:13:16,398
you Council PRESIDENT Pro tem

18380
09:13:16,398 --> 09:13:19,998
for making sure these match and

18381
09:13:20,350 --> 09:13:20,668
thank you for the work in

18382
09:13:20,668 --> 09:13:21,303
the presentation and for

18383
09:13:21,303 --> 09:13:23,703
assisting the young women

18384
09:13:28,110 --> 09:13:28,976
outside with her needs.

18385
09:13:28,976 --> 09:13:29,644
I also want to thank you for

18386
09:13:29,644 --> 09:13:32,440
taking really strategic and

18387
09:13:32,814 --> 09:13:33,448
very painful actions to right

18388
09:13:33,448 --> 09:13:34,116
the ship because we saw in

18389
09:13:34,116 --> 09:13:37,116
the last two years reserves

18390
09:13:38,153 --> 09:13:38,819
dwindling and dwindling and

18391
09:13:38,819 --> 09:13:39,488
dwindling and it was unclear

18392
09:13:39,488 --> 09:13:42,924
what was going to happen to

18393
09:13:42,924 --> 09:13:43,692
the Housing Commission budget.

18394
09:13:43,692 --> 09:13:44,359
These are not actions you

18395
09:13:44,359 --> 09:13:47,296
wanted to take You know,

18396
09:13:47,296 --> 09:13:49,296
cutting personnel by 13%, $7

18397
09:13:51,267 --> 09:13:51,866
million that's a lot dipping

18398
09:13:51,866 --> 09:13:54,266
into reserves once again

18399
09:13:55,937 --> 09:13:56,638
because the cost of keeping up

18400
09:13:56,638 --> 09:13:57,175
with the rent in San Diego is

18401
09:13:57,175 --> 09:13:59,575
not fully funded by

18402
09:14:01,900 --> 09:14:01,610
the vouchers that we get from

18403
09:14:01,610 --> 09:14:02,344
the federal government.

18404
09:14:02,344 --> 09:14:02,844
They haven't been listening for

18405
09:14:02,844 --> 09:14:04,844
years about that.

18406
09:14:05,881 --> 09:14:06,682
I mean it is still remarkable

18407
09:14:06,682 --> 09:14:09,820
that we're we're spending $340

18408
09:14:09,617 --> 09:14:09,985
million to assist 17,000

18409
09:14:09,985 --> 09:14:10,586
families.

18410
09:14:10,586 --> 09:14:10,953
I don't want that to go

18411
09:14:10,953 --> 09:14:12,953
unnoticed.

18412
09:14:15,324 --> 09:14:16,910
That is a huge effort.

18413
09:14:16,910 --> 09:14:19,691
We obviously need more And I

18414
09:14:19,862 --> 09:14:20,562
agree with Councilor Olivia

18415
09:14:20,562 --> 09:14:21,296
that we shouldn't be spending

18416
09:14:21,296 --> 09:14:21,997
billions of taxpayer dollars on

18417
09:14:21,997 --> 09:14:25,597
a fruitless war in the Middle

18418
09:14:25,634 --> 09:14:26,502
East and tax breaks to wealthy

18419
09:14:26,502 --> 09:14:30,102
people and payouts to people in

18420
09:14:32,441 --> 09:14:33,108
JANUARY six who want to do

18421
09:14:33,108 --> 09:14:33,776
the That's not what our tax

18422
09:14:33,776 --> 09:14:34,375
dollars should be used where

18423
09:14:34,375 --> 09:14:35,978
they should be used for

18424
09:14:35,978 --> 09:14:36,746
homelessness and housing.

18425
09:14:36,746 --> 09:14:37,513
That's not that you can control

18426
09:14:37,513 --> 09:14:40,449
or we can control here at

18427
09:14:40,449 --> 09:14:41,283
the city level.

18428
09:14:41,283 --> 09:14:41,984
But part of the problem that

18429
09:14:41,984 --> 09:14:44,984
we're in is because of

18430
09:14:46,550 --> 09:14:46,655
the values in Washington D.C.

18431
09:14:46,655 --> 09:14:47,389
That trickle down to us.

18432
09:14:47,389 --> 09:14:50,989
So and I know you're trying

18433
09:14:51,327 --> 09:14:52,600
your best to advocate I

18434
09:14:52,600 --> 09:14:52,728
appreciate you've gone directly

18435
09:14:52,728 --> 09:14:53,395
to dc to advocate with folks

18436
09:14:53,395 --> 09:14:56,232
about what's happening but I

18437
09:14:56,232 --> 09:14:57,980
just I mean this is not great

18438
09:14:57,980 --> 09:15:00,698
that you have to make these

18439
09:15:01,700 --> 09:15:01,770
changes but I appreciate you

18440
09:15:01,770 --> 09:15:02,371
doing the hard things to make

18441
09:15:02,371 --> 09:15:05,371
sure that the budget is

18442
09:15:06,108 --> 09:15:06,809
fiscally sound And I think my

18443
09:15:06,809 --> 09:15:07,677
last question is just how can

18444
09:15:07,677 --> 09:15:11,277
we be helpful in giving you

18445
09:15:11,480 --> 09:15:12,148
the resources you need when

18446
09:15:12,148 --> 09:15:12,580
further government cuts are

18447
09:15:12,580 --> 09:15:13,182
going to hit?

18448
09:15:13,182 --> 09:15:15,582
They're going to affect

18449
09:15:16,452 --> 09:15:17,119
the folks who are in Section

18450
09:15:17,119 --> 09:15:17,753
eight You know Medicaid cuts

18451
09:15:17,753 --> 09:15:20,389
Health care is about to be

18452
09:15:20,389 --> 09:15:21,560
ripped away from people.

18453
09:15:21,560 --> 09:15:21,424
We're already seeing snap

18454
09:15:21,424 --> 09:15:22,570
benefits.

18455
09:15:22,570 --> 09:15:24,457
People aren't signing up.

18456
09:15:26,462 --> 09:15:26,829
So your folks are going to need

18457
09:15:26,829 --> 09:15:27,495
more help.

18458
09:15:27,495 --> 09:15:28,197
So how can you be helpful?

18459
09:15:28,197 --> 09:15:30,966
They are And part of it is

18460
09:15:30,966 --> 09:15:31,667
going to be getting information

18461
09:15:31,667 --> 09:15:32,335
out to folks about their

18462
09:15:32,335 --> 09:15:32,835
community resources that are

18463
09:15:32,835 --> 09:15:34,835
available to them.

18464
09:15:35,938 --> 09:15:36,639
We have a much more robust

18465
09:15:36,639 --> 09:15:37,306
community resource page on our

18466
09:15:37,306 --> 09:15:37,939
website than we have before.

18467
09:15:37,939 --> 09:15:40,939
We're pushing a lot of

18468
09:15:41,744 --> 09:15:42,378
information out to our voucher

18469
09:15:42,378 --> 09:15:43,460
holders or public housing

18470
09:15:43,460 --> 09:15:45,848
residents to our families as

18471
09:15:45,848 --> 09:15:46,449
well around that information.

18472
09:15:46,449 --> 09:15:47,216
So we'll make sure we're

18473
09:15:47,216 --> 09:15:50,816
sharing this with you so that

18474
09:15:51,287 --> 09:15:51,954
you're sharing this with your

18475
09:15:51,954 --> 09:15:52,588
constituents And that's from

18476
09:15:52,588 --> 09:15:55,588
like boots on the ground.

18477
09:15:56,258 --> 09:15:56,959
It's getting information out

18478
09:15:56,959 --> 09:15:57,626
through all of your community

18479
09:15:57,626 --> 09:15:58,294
reps and that way we've also

18480
09:15:58,294 --> 09:16:00,694
worked with community based

18481
09:16:01,640 --> 09:16:01,797
organizations to help us make

18482
09:16:01,797 --> 09:16:02,465
our website and our information

18483
09:16:02,465 --> 09:16:06,650
when people reach out to us

18484
09:16:06,302 --> 09:16:06,935
more robust So our community

18485
09:16:06,935 --> 09:16:07,537
partners have been really

18486
09:16:07,537 --> 09:16:08,204
helpful from an advocacy

18487
09:16:08,204 --> 09:16:11,204
standpoint and I just can't

18488
09:16:11,974 --> 09:16:12,642
help but take this I want to go

18489
09:16:12,642 --> 09:16:13,342
back to a little bit of also

18490
09:16:13,342 --> 09:16:15,778
you both you and Councilmember

18491
09:16:15,778 --> 09:16:16,479
Rivera said this is like we

18492
09:16:16,479 --> 09:16:17,113
have programs that maybe are

18493
09:16:17,113 --> 09:16:17,747
sometimes the regulations

18494
09:16:17,747 --> 09:16:19,747
currently or requirements

18495
09:16:21,451 --> 09:16:22,185
penalize people And we need we

18496
09:16:22,185 --> 09:16:22,919
need we need them to be better

18497
09:16:22,919 --> 09:16:26,519
We need them to be supporting

18498
09:16:26,656 --> 09:16:27,356
people and serving people.

18499
09:16:27,356 --> 09:16:27,857
That's not what's happening at

18500
09:16:27,857 --> 09:16:28,457
the federal level.

18501
09:16:28,457 --> 09:16:31,457
At a federal level those

18502
09:16:32,610 --> 09:16:32,828
programs are getting more and

18503
09:16:32,828 --> 09:16:36,428
more diluted from a sense of

18504
09:16:38,340 --> 09:16:38,735
how many how few people can be

18505
09:16:38,735 --> 09:16:39,402
served, how few people can we

18506
09:16:39,402 --> 09:16:42,238
serve, how can we restrict

18507
09:16:42,238 --> 09:16:42,806
the type of people and

18508
09:16:42,806 --> 09:16:43,538
populations we serve?

18509
09:16:43,538 --> 09:16:47,738
So advocacy at a state or local

18510
09:16:47,777 --> 09:16:48,444
and a federal level is more

18511
09:16:48,444 --> 09:16:49,145
important than ever And your

18512
09:16:49,145 --> 09:16:52,716
support when we push back and

18513
09:16:52,716 --> 09:16:53,449
we take legal action against

18514
09:16:53,449 --> 09:16:54,150
our own government to protect

18515
09:16:54,150 --> 09:16:54,817
our families is important too

18516
09:16:54,817 --> 09:16:57,487
And we really value that And

18517
09:16:57,487 --> 09:16:57,954
thank you for that support.

18518
09:16:57,954 --> 09:16:58,721
Thank you.

18519
09:16:58,721 --> 09:16:59,422
Thank you very much And Council

18520
09:16:59,422 --> 09:17:01,822
PRESIDENT That concludes my

18521
09:17:03,659 --> 09:17:04,270
comments.

18522
09:17:04,270 --> 09:17:04,427
All right.

18523
09:17:04,427 --> 09:17:05,990
Thank you.

18524
09:17:05,990 --> 09:17:05,762
Council We'll go next to

18525
09:17:05,762 --> 09:17:06,290
council member Whitmer Thank

18526
09:17:06,290 --> 09:17:08,290
you.

18527
09:17:09,970 --> 09:17:09,799
Council PRESIDENT Thank you for

18528
09:17:09,799 --> 09:17:10,466
the presentation all the work

18529
09:17:10,466 --> 09:17:13,466
that's gone into the budget.

18530
09:17:14,103 --> 09:17:15,400
Thank you to Council PRESIDENT

18531
09:17:15,400 --> 09:17:18,604
Pro Tem Lee for the amendment.

18532
09:17:19,776 --> 09:17:20,477
I'll be supporting this And MR.

18533
09:17:20,477 --> 09:17:21,344
Coats, thank you for sharing

18534
09:17:21,344 --> 09:17:24,647
what you know so far about

18535
09:17:24,647 --> 09:17:25,348
the situation that

18536
09:17:25,348 --> 09:17:26,782
the constituent who apparently

18537
09:17:26,782 --> 09:17:29,782
lost her housing is dealing

18538
09:17:33,656 --> 09:17:34,224
with Your team is out there

18539
09:17:34,224 --> 09:17:36,624
trying to assist her.

18540
09:17:38,394 --> 09:17:38,728
My staff was out there trying

18541
09:17:38,728 --> 09:17:40,728
to help.

18542
09:17:43,233 --> 09:17:44,000
I would like it if your team

18543
09:17:44,000 --> 09:17:44,968
could follow up with my office

18544
09:17:44,968 --> 09:17:49,168
on this just so that we can

18545
09:17:49,239 --> 09:17:50,106
understand what happened.

18546
09:17:50,106 --> 09:17:53,706
But as she was surrounded by

18547
09:17:54,744 --> 09:17:55,478
the best of the brightest, I'm

18548
09:17:55,478 --> 09:17:56,790
confident that you know, people

18549
09:17:56,790 --> 09:17:56,813
are going to help her to

18550
09:17:56,813 --> 09:17:59,916
the degree that we get a little

18551
09:17:59,916 --> 09:18:00,683
concerned about what else MAY

18552
09:18:00,683 --> 09:18:01,385
be going on out there that is

18553
09:18:01,385 --> 09:18:04,385
causing people to fall through

18554
09:18:04,688 --> 09:18:05,354
the cracks which as you said,

18555
09:18:05,354 --> 09:18:06,560
it's a very complex system.

18556
09:18:06,560 --> 09:18:09,656
There's just a lot going on.

18557
09:18:10,293 --> 09:18:10,894
But if it's possible that there

18558
09:18:10,894 --> 09:18:11,561
are other people falling

18559
09:18:11,561 --> 09:18:12,261
through the cracks, I would

18560
09:18:12,261 --> 09:18:15,298
want to know why that might be

18561
09:18:15,298 --> 09:18:15,932
And more importantly what we

18562
09:18:15,932 --> 09:18:16,366
could do to prevent that.

18563
09:18:16,366 --> 09:18:16,967
>> Absolutely.

18564
09:18:16,967 --> 09:18:17,601
And I'll make sure that

18565
09:18:17,601 --> 09:18:20,601
the entire council gets an

18566
09:18:20,936 --> 09:18:21,871
update as well.

18567
09:18:21,871 --> 09:18:22,606
And when we do see things come

18568
09:18:22,606 --> 09:18:23,373
up where we see oh, this is a

18569
09:18:23,373 --> 09:18:26,576
systemic issue, not a one off,

18570
09:18:26,576 --> 09:18:27,244
then we certainly look to where

18571
09:18:27,244 --> 09:18:27,544
we can make improvements on

18572
09:18:27,544 --> 09:18:28,145
that.

18573
09:18:28,145 --> 09:18:31,810
That also helps Like on

18574
09:18:31,810 --> 09:18:31,848
the homelessness side obviously

18575
09:18:31,848 --> 09:18:32,516
we do compliance but on the on

18576
09:18:32,516 --> 09:18:33,116
the voucher side it's how we

18577
09:18:33,116 --> 09:18:35,516
work with our partners.

18578
09:18:37,870 --> 09:18:37,754
This is a partner project with

18579
09:18:37,754 --> 09:18:40,754
St Teresa's father Joe's and

18580
09:18:43,327 --> 09:18:44,127
the county as well I believe so

18581
09:18:44,127 --> 09:18:44,828
yeah there's a lot of players

18582
09:18:44,828 --> 09:18:45,563
in addition to keep you Thank

18583
09:18:45,563 --> 09:18:48,563
you Council PRESIDENT All right

18584
09:18:49,199 --> 09:18:49,933
thank council Bern So does she

18585
09:18:49,933 --> 09:18:53,403
have someplace to go tonight or

18586
09:18:53,403 --> 09:18:53,870
that offers been made?

18587
09:18:53,870 --> 09:18:54,170
I don't know.

18588
09:18:54,170 --> 09:18:54,571
Okay.

18589
09:18:54,571 --> 09:18:56,571
Thank you.

18590
09:18:58,408 --> 09:18:58,876
I see some nodding heads in

18591
09:18:58,876 --> 09:18:59,175
the background.

18592
09:18:59,175 --> 09:19:01,175
Okay.

18593
09:19:03,647 --> 09:19:04,414
I appreciate the work you do.

18594
09:19:04,414 --> 09:19:05,820
I'm not sure where Commissioner

18595
09:19:05,820 --> 09:19:08,682
Cushman was going but I know

18596
09:19:09,190 --> 09:19:09,719
that if you didn't tighten down

18597
09:19:09,719 --> 09:19:10,387
on the budget that you were on

18598
09:19:10,387 --> 09:19:13,387
a path insolvency and that

18599
09:19:14,524 --> 09:19:15,192
really wouldn't MAY have

18600
09:19:15,192 --> 09:19:15,993
protected somebody for a few

18601
09:19:15,993 --> 09:19:19,593
short amount of time and you

18602
09:19:20,597 --> 09:19:20,931
would have been an unacceptable

18603
09:19:20,931 --> 09:19:21,632
outcome.

18604
09:19:21,632 --> 09:19:25,202
So you made the hard choices.

18605
09:19:25,202 --> 09:19:25,902
I think you made harder choices

18606
09:19:25,902 --> 09:19:26,670
than we've made here at City

18607
09:19:26,670 --> 09:19:29,670
Hall but it's very much

18608
09:19:31,108 --> 09:19:31,809
appreciated.

18609
09:19:31,809 --> 09:19:32,442
Insolvency in the continuing

18610
09:19:32,442 --> 09:19:33,100
work despite the changing

18611
09:19:33,100 --> 09:19:35,100
landscape is certainly

18612
09:19:37,614 --> 09:19:38,381
the priorities.

18613
09:19:38,381 --> 09:19:39,160
So I thank you Council

18614
09:19:39,160 --> 09:19:42,160
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee for

18615
09:19:42,180 --> 09:19:42,553
really leaving a lasting and

18616
09:19:42,553 --> 09:19:43,453
amending the action.

18617
09:19:43,453 --> 09:19:47,653
So with that we do have a

18618
09:19:48,558 --> 09:19:49,260
motion by Council PRESIDENT Pro

18619
09:19:49,260 --> 09:19:50,270

09:21:05,403 --> 09:21:06,103
polished about six pages which

18666
09:21:06,103 --> 09:21:09,703
I did very late last night

18667
09:21:11,800 --> 09:21:11,675
before our sleep when I woke up

18668
09:21:11,675 --> 09:21:14,675
this morning And now what 12

18669
09:21:16,470 --> 09:21:16,781
hours under my belt.

18670
09:21:16,781 --> 09:21:17,415
But I want to speak very

18671
09:21:17,415 --> 09:21:19,815
extemporaneous to you on

18672
09:21:22,219 --> 09:21:22,920
the homeless issue and

18673
09:21:22,920 --> 09:21:26,520
the issue of living this life.

18674
09:21:27,992 --> 09:21:32,792
I want you to know that we are

18675
09:21:33,164 --> 09:21:34,650
all doing our best and I want

18676
09:21:34,650 --> 09:21:34,932
you to believe that I want you

18677
09:21:34,932 --> 09:21:38,532
to wake up every single morning

18678
09:21:38,736 --> 09:21:42,336
and pat yourself on the back

18679
09:21:44,542 --> 09:21:45,410
because we are doing our best.

18680
09:21:45,410 --> 09:21:48,713
I have worked with the homeless

18681
09:21:48,713 --> 09:21:51,713
for 18 years on many levels.

18682
09:21:54,352 --> 09:21:54,818
We can't help them really.

18683
09:21:54,818 --> 09:21:56,818
It's too big.

18684
09:22:00,859 --> 09:22:01,593
It's individual, it's vast.

18685
09:22:01,593 --> 09:22:04,593
Their stories are vast just

18686
09:22:04,929 --> 09:22:09,129
like our lives are vast I one

18687
09:22:10,568 --> 09:22:11,268
of the quit to just live it

18688
09:22:11,268 --> 09:22:12,360
Just live the miracle that we

18689
09:22:12,360 --> 09:22:15,636
are setting on that we are

18690
09:22:17,242 --> 09:22:20,842
angry about that we are blaming

18691
09:22:22,146 --> 09:22:23,470
people about this is a miracle

18692
09:22:23,470 --> 09:22:23,681
and it goes by in a blink.

18693
09:22:23,681 --> 09:22:26,681
Believe me I know it.

18694
09:22:28,586 --> 09:22:29,153
It's going by.

18695
09:22:29,153 --> 09:22:29,654
It will blink.

18696
09:22:29,654 --> 09:22:30,355
Don't MISS It.

18697
09:22:30,355 --> 09:22:33,955
You guys that have the little

18698
09:22:33,992 --> 09:22:34,258
bitty beautiful baby don't MISS

18699
09:22:34,258 --> 09:22:34,959
It.

18700
09:22:34,959 --> 09:22:35,360
Don't get angry at the federal

18701
09:22:35,360 --> 09:22:37,360
government.

18702
09:22:40,666 --> 09:22:41,466
Yes To your fight But at night

18703
09:22:41,466 --> 09:22:45,660
laugh at all those babies and

18704
09:22:45,737 --> 09:22:46,370
all you are doing the best

18705
09:22:46,370 --> 09:22:46,771
deal.

18706
09:22:46,771 --> 09:22:47,720
>> Believe me, I know it for

18707
09:22:47,720 --> 09:22:49,720
sure.

18708
09:22:50,976 --> 09:22:51,542
I get it.

18709
09:22:51,542 --> 09:22:52,210
I got it.

18710
09:22:52,210 --> 09:22:55,210
Thank GOD I got it.

18711
09:22:57,482 --> 09:22:58,350
It's a miracle.

18712
09:22:58,350 --> 09:23:01,950
It's a miracle And we're doing

18713
09:23:03,621 --> 09:23:04,422
the best love to all.

18714
09:23:04,422 --> 09:23:05,900
Thank you for that concluding

18715
09:23:05,900 --> 09:23:08,900
comment allegedly If you can

18716
09:23:08,293 --> 09:23:10,293
please come forward.

18717
09:23:14,466 --> 09:23:15,367
Yeah, I guess maybe treat this

18718
09:23:15,367 --> 09:23:18,967
problem like if it was your

18719
09:23:19,971 --> 09:23:21,971
child.

18720
09:23:26,745 --> 09:23:27,446
I mean this is a systemic issue

18721
09:23:27,446 --> 09:23:28,213
and it's like we can blame

18722
09:23:28,213 --> 09:23:31,813
Washington dc all we want that

18723
09:23:32,183 --> 09:23:33,510
compounds on the problem But

18724
09:23:33,510 --> 09:23:36,651
this has been going on forever

18725
09:23:38,723 --> 09:23:39,358
and it's sad because it is a

18726
09:23:39,358 --> 09:23:41,758
community problem and like

18727
09:23:43,362 --> 09:23:43,962
Henry was talking about I mean

18728
09:23:43,962 --> 09:23:44,629
our community has been

18729
09:23:44,629 --> 09:23:47,290
fractured because of people

18730
09:23:49,368 --> 09:23:50,710
like you So it's like the left

18731
09:23:50,710 --> 09:23:50,769
and the right and let's fight

18732
09:23:50,769 --> 09:23:53,769
each other instead of joining

18733
09:23:55,700 --> 09:23:55,507
together and actually not

18734
09:23:55,507 --> 09:23:55,940
turning away from

18735
09:23:55,940 --> 09:23:56,574
the suffering.

18736
09:23:56,574 --> 09:23:57,176
And that's what happens is

18737
09:23:57,176 --> 09:23:57,843
people turn away from it

18738
09:23:57,843 --> 09:24:00,843
because it's really hard to

18739
09:24:01,579 --> 09:24:02,114
look at and it's like what I

18740
09:24:02,114 --> 09:24:04,514
deal with with child

18741
09:24:06,986 --> 09:24:07,753
trafficking it's very difficult

18742
09:24:07,753 --> 09:24:08,754
and that's why most people want

18743
09:24:08,754 --> 09:24:12,954
to just push it away and it's

18744
09:24:13,559 --> 09:24:14,259
like the homeless It's like

18745
09:24:14,259 --> 09:24:14,993
it's easier to walk over them.

18746
09:24:14,993 --> 09:24:15,694
It's easier to say move down

18747
09:24:15,694 --> 09:24:18,694
the street because you're an

18748
09:24:20,232 --> 09:24:20,599
eyesore than to actually go and

18749
09:24:20,599 --> 09:24:21,333
help them.

18750
09:24:21,333 --> 09:24:25,204
And it's like you guys you do

18751
09:24:25,204 --> 09:24:25,938
your budget and you do these

18752
09:24:25,938 --> 09:24:26,872
contracts and you kind of leave

18753
09:24:26,872 --> 09:24:31,720
it there But this room would be

18754
09:24:31,110 --> 09:24:31,743
overfull with the amount of

18755
09:24:31,743 --> 09:24:32,478
people that have this same

18756
09:24:32,478 --> 09:24:36,780
issue this woman has But they

18757
09:24:37,683 --> 09:24:38,350
can't They're afraid to come up

18758
09:24:38,350 --> 09:24:38,983
here afraid of retaliation,

18759
09:24:38,983 --> 09:24:41,383
afraid of something worse

18760
09:24:43,422 --> 09:24:44,356
happening than being evicted.

18761
09:24:44,356 --> 09:24:44,924
And it's like there are a lot

18762
09:24:44,924 --> 09:24:45,657
of players And that's

18763
09:24:45,657 --> 09:24:49,728
the problem is that it goes out

18764
09:24:49,728 --> 09:24:50,496
to so many people that it's

18765
09:24:50,496 --> 09:24:51,196
like if you want to deal with

18766
09:24:51,196 --> 09:24:51,863
you got to go to them and then

18767
09:24:51,863 --> 09:24:54,933
they send you over here and

18768
09:24:54,933 --> 09:24:55,634
then they send you over here

18769
09:24:55,634 --> 09:24:56,680
and that's why the system

18770
09:24:56,680 --> 09:24:56,736
doesn't work.

18771
09:24:56,736 --> 09:24:57,403
But it should because people

18772
09:24:57,403 --> 09:25:00,403
should feel like they belong

18773
09:25:02,740 --> 09:25:02,875
enough to be taken care of And

18774
09:25:02,875 --> 09:25:07,750
that's why I said What if it

18775
09:25:07,680 --> 09:25:08,414
was your child?

18776
09:25:08,414 --> 09:25:09,281
I don't feel like you guys

18777
09:25:09,281 --> 09:25:13,481
would act the same And I just

18778
09:25:15,721 --> 09:25:16,388
feel like it's like if you

18779
09:25:16,388 --> 09:25:19,388
Natalie were asking if you

18780
09:25:22,228 --> 09:25:22,928
could please come forward.

18781
09:25:22,928 --> 09:25:23,762
Hey, just two more minutes.

18782
09:25:23,762 --> 09:25:24,463
I really wish I could let you

18783
09:25:24,463 --> 09:25:26,863
finish listening to Robert

18784
09:25:27,566 --> 09:25:28,367
Edward Grant's solution on how

18785
09:25:28,367 --> 09:25:31,367
we build shelters and evolve

18786
09:25:33,539 --> 09:25:34,206
and how we build them and how

18787
09:25:34,206 --> 09:25:36,606
they're placed in community

18788
09:25:37,643 --> 09:25:40,430
involvement while they're there

18789
09:25:44,149 --> 09:25:44,750
in the shelter that woman was

18790
09:25:44,750 --> 09:25:47,750
having a panic attack is

18791
09:25:49,456 --> 09:25:50,322
basically what was happening

18792
09:25:50,322 --> 09:25:54,522
And I feel for her because that

18793
09:25:56,729 --> 09:25:57,462
is how I I don't I feel that I

18794
09:25:57,462 --> 09:26:01,620
don't have the panic and that's

18795
09:26:02,335 --> 09:26:02,935
a really feeling to have is

18796
09:26:02,935 --> 09:26:05,935
having a panic attack is

18797
09:26:06,506 --> 09:26:07,306
the probably worst worst things

18798
09:26:07,306 --> 09:26:07,973
I have four children that I'm

18799
09:26:07,973 --> 09:26:08,574
raising in this society and

18800
09:26:08,574 --> 09:26:10,974
it's mind blowing what's

18801
09:26:13,379 --> 09:26:14,800
happening Mind blowing it's

18802
09:26:14,800 --> 09:26:17,680
mind blowing And so at least

18803
09:26:18,885 --> 09:26:19,618
when my children grow up and

18804
09:26:19,618 --> 09:26:20,319
they hear about all these heart

18805
09:26:20,319 --> 09:26:22,719
disease, these horrible things

18806
09:26:25,910 --> 09:26:25,792
that are happening in our

18807
09:26:25,792 --> 09:26:26,426
administration, they're going

18808
09:26:26,426 --> 09:26:30,260
to ask me, Mom, why didn't

18809
09:26:31,497 --> 09:26:32,640
anybody do anything?

18810
09:26:32,640 --> 09:26:32,832
My choice is huge.

18811
09:26:32,832 --> 09:26:36,432
The problem is huge And hud

18812
09:26:37,637 --> 09:26:38,337
should be held accountable.

18813
09:26:38,337 --> 09:26:38,771
How do we make that happen?

18814
09:26:38,771 --> 09:26:39,205
I don't know.

18815
09:26:39,205 --> 09:26:41,205
I don't know.

18816
09:26:42,909 --> 09:26:43,242
I pulled my kids from public

18817
09:26:43,242 --> 09:26:43,942
school.

18818
09:26:43,942 --> 09:26:44,377
Everybody pull your kids from

18819
09:26:44,377 --> 09:26:44,943
public school.

18820
09:26:44,943 --> 09:26:47,943
We're going to have to

18821
09:26:49,150 --> 09:26:49,716
sacrifice at some point

18822
09:26:49,716 --> 09:26:50,450
something to regain power back

18823
09:26:50,450 --> 09:26:53,450
for the people they're supposed

18824
09:26:54,920 --> 09:26:57,920
to work for us Somehow

18825
09:26:59,892 --> 09:27:00,693
the switch flipped But this is

18826
09:27:00,693 --> 09:27:01,460
getting way out of control And

18827
09:27:01,460 --> 09:27:04,460
and now with this disclosure

18828
09:27:06,465 --> 09:27:09,465
movie they're trying to use

18829
09:27:11,470 --> 09:27:11,938
fear mental warfare on people

18830
09:27:11,938 --> 09:27:12,604
do the research.

18831
09:27:12,604 --> 09:27:14,604
There are multidimensional

18832
09:27:16,642 --> 09:27:17,342
beings that are interacting, do

18833
09:27:17,342 --> 09:27:20,342
the research and they're using

18834
09:27:22,882 --> 09:27:23,682
fear.

18835
09:27:23,682 --> 09:27:23,982
Thank you for the five minute

18836
09:27:23,982 --> 09:27:25,982
timer.

18841
09:27:35,227 --> 09:27:35,962

That's great.

18846
09:27:44,370 --> 09:27:44,704

learning how to do that Hope to

18850
09:27:51,610 --> 09:27:52,278
get much better.

18851
09:27:52,278 --> 09:27:55,878
The things I want to mention

18852
09:27:55,949 --> 09:27:56,816
right now is I'm just planning

18853
09:27:56,816 --> 09:28:01,160
a feed of thought and I hope

18854
09:28:01,254 --> 09:28:01,688
it's appropriate to plant these

18855
09:28:01,688 --> 09:28:02,522
seeds.

18856
09:28:02,522 --> 09:28:03,188
If not, please let me know when

18857
09:28:03,188 --> 09:28:05,588
you're considering the right

18858
09:28:08,394 --> 09:28:09,129
now I believe it's 10% When

18859
09:28:09,129 --> 09:28:12,129
there's new properties that are

18860
09:28:13,660 --> 09:28:16,660
built, 10% should be and you

18861
09:28:18,438 --> 09:28:19,139
know the language I'm I'm

18862
09:28:19,139 --> 09:28:19,840
learning this topic right now

18863
09:28:19,840 --> 09:28:24,400
and I plan to learn it better

18864
09:28:24,810 --> 09:28:25,478
But I'm I'm hoping that some

18865
09:28:25,478 --> 09:28:26,112
way somehow we can increase

18866
09:28:26,112 --> 09:28:29,112
that to 20% or maybe more

18867
09:28:30,783 --> 09:28:34,383
because right now if a 40 unit

18868
09:28:35,722 --> 09:28:36,289
building is built, 10% is only

18869
09:28:36,289 --> 09:28:37,230
four units and that's

18870
09:28:37,230 --> 09:28:39,423
incredibly competitive And even

18871
09:28:41,628 --> 09:28:42,262
if you think about just

18872
09:28:42,262 --> 09:28:42,930
everyone out there that's

18873
09:28:42,930 --> 09:28:46,530
trying to be able to afford

18874
09:28:47,434 --> 09:28:47,768
rent, that's a very small

18875
09:28:47,768 --> 09:28:49,768
number.

18876
09:28:52,539 --> 09:28:56,739
The next thing you plan on is

18877
09:28:58,178 --> 09:29:01,778
let's see when people are left

18878
09:29:04,484 --> 09:29:05,285
unhoused by court things such

18879
09:29:05,285 --> 09:29:08,885
as probate and when assets are

18880
09:29:10,900 --> 09:29:10,757
settled often family members

18881
09:29:10,757 --> 09:29:11,458
will be left without shelter

18882
09:29:11,458 --> 09:29:15,658
just the way things go Also in

18883
09:29:16,964 --> 09:29:17,898
family court if there can be

18884
09:29:17,898 --> 09:29:22,980
some sort of I don't know what

18885
09:29:22,369 --> 09:29:25,369
the right word is use

18886
09:29:32,460 --> 09:29:32,679
legislation laws that the ones

18887
09:29:32,679 --> 09:29:35,790
not being unhoused somehow

18888
09:29:37,551 --> 09:29:38,185
think about that and provide

18889
09:29:38,185 --> 09:29:38,885
shelter for those becoming

18890
09:29:38,885 --> 09:29:39,319
unhoused by probate and family

18891
09:29:39,319 --> 09:29:41,319
court issues.

18892
09:29:44,491 --> 09:29:45,192
I'm going to have to think of a

18893
09:29:45,192 --> 09:29:48,792
better way to present that And

18894
09:29:52,232 --> 09:29:52,666

overall we are trying to

18905

address our budget how it works

18906
09:30:14,955 --> 09:30:15,689
in with housing issues I been

18907
09:30:15,689 --> 09:30:18,890
learning important lessons that

18908
09:30:19,526 --> 09:30:20,160
we that city government of San

18909
09:30:20,160 --> 09:30:20,794
Diego is trying to address

18910
09:30:20,794 --> 09:30:23,794
extremely low and very low

18911
09:30:24,966 --> 09:30:25,665
income housing more I'm trying

18912
09:30:25,665 --> 09:30:26,367
to find out how that is

18913
09:30:26,367 --> 09:30:28,767
happening and understand that

18914
09:30:31,839 --> 09:30:32,540
better and there's a commitment

18915
09:30:32,540 --> 09:30:32,840
to that and how to understand

18916
09:30:32,840 --> 09:30:33,574
that.

18917
09:30:33,574 --> 09:30:37,244
So I'm hopeful and what you can

18918
09:30:37,244 --> 09:30:37,845
be doing in those terms to

18919
09:30:37,845 --> 09:30:40,845
address are very low and

18920
09:30:43,117 --> 09:30:46,717
extremely low in this new state

18921
09:30:49,560 --> 09:30:49,824
year coming up and you know

18922
09:30:49,824 --> 09:30:50,791
what Joyce was saying I have a

18923
09:30:50,791 --> 09:30:54,991
bit of hope in what we're doing

18924
09:30:55,997 --> 09:30:56,697
at this time is going to set a

18925
09:30:56,697 --> 09:31:00,297
good taste for how we consider

18926
09:31:01,402 --> 09:31:01,702
our budget issues in the coming

18927
09:31:01,702 --> 09:31:02,470
years.

18928
09:31:02,470 --> 09:31:03,270
I'm not certain but I'm hopeful

18929
09:31:03,270 --> 09:31:03,637
if I can be of any help to that

18930
09:31:03,637 --> 09:31:05,637
situation.

18931
09:31:07,275 --> 09:31:07,976
So we'll pull it back that you

18932
09:31:07,976 --> 09:31:12,176
know over the next few days I

18933
09:31:12,480 --> 09:31:13,347
hope to talk more about a items

18934
09:31:13,347 --> 09:31:16,947
to address you know short term

18935
09:31:19,387 --> 09:31:20,540
changes to the current block

18936
09:31:20,540 --> 09:31:21,540
program that can bring a new

18937
09:31:21,540 --> 09:31:25,493
way up here a vendor at a much

18938
09:31:25,493 --> 09:31:26,227
more cost budget wise and save

18939
09:31:26,227 --> 09:31:26,928
you budget always I'm surprised

18940
09:31:26,928 --> 09:31:27,495
no one talked about that today

18941
09:31:27,495 --> 09:31:30,495
to talk about that in

18942
09:31:30,832 --> 09:31:31,632
the coming week we have a

18943
09:31:31,632 --> 09:31:32,333
little bit of time left here in

18944
09:31:32,333 --> 09:31:33,000
JUNE to talk about it but it's

18945
09:31:33,000 --> 09:31:35,902
tough to know how we can do

18946
09:31:35,902 --> 09:31:36,671
that And I'll be talking about

18947
09:31:36,671 --> 09:31:37,380
that kind of stuff later in

18948
09:31:37,380 --> 09:31:37,405

18952
09:31:46,120 --> 09:31:46,881
I'm you So I just want to talk

18953
09:31:46,881 --> 09:31:51,810
about like what I see is an

18954
09:31:52,620 --> 09:31:53,521
elephant in the room just

18955
09:31:53,521 --> 09:31:57,121
before this storm of your voted

18956
09:31:57,558 --> 09:31:58,359
for $2 million for flock and

18957
09:31:58,359 --> 09:32:01,959
then turn around and are like

18958
09:32:03,531 --> 09:32:04,131
you know saying that you want

18959
09:32:04,131 --> 09:32:04,832
to do everything to help

18960
09:32:04,832 --> 09:32:07,232
everyone who's falling through

18961
09:32:09,537 --> 09:32:10,238
the cracks that $2 million a

18962
09:32:10,238 --> 09:32:13,238
flock literally could be going

18963
09:32:15,310 --> 09:32:15,976
directly into saving people's

18964
09:32:15,976 --> 09:32:16,677
lives and pulling people off

18965
09:32:16,677 --> 09:32:19,677
the streets today and keeping

18966
09:32:21,316 --> 09:32:22,160
people off the streets and I

18967
09:32:22,160 --> 09:32:22,750
think it's I mean, Bernie, I

18968
09:32:22,750 --> 09:32:23,451
have to call you up like it's

18969
09:32:23,451 --> 09:32:27,210
really down there for you to

18970
09:32:27,210 --> 09:32:27,755
have just voted for that and

18971
09:32:27,755 --> 09:32:28,423
then say that you can't control

18972
09:32:28,423 --> 09:32:31,423
things and that the federal

18973
09:32:32,560 --> 09:32:33,228
government is there

18974
09:32:33,228 --> 09:32:36,228
surveillance I mean come on,

18975
09:32:37,899 --> 09:32:38,566
let's use that money and create

18976
09:32:38,566 --> 09:32:39,233
a real emergency plan Like

18977
09:32:39,233 --> 09:32:39,900
we're at the point where we

18978
09:32:39,900 --> 09:32:43,500
need to create a tent city.

18979
09:32:44,873 --> 09:32:45,340
Let's let's create let's think

18980
09:32:45,340 --> 09:32:46,107
out of the box.

18981
09:32:46,107 --> 09:32:49,107
Let's create some sort of

18982
09:32:50,445 --> 09:32:50,812
shelter that can actually not

18983
09:32:50,812 --> 09:32:51,545
get nasty.

18984
09:32:51,545 --> 09:32:55,145
I mean let's look at Burning

18985
09:32:57,840 --> 09:32:57,785
Man and Outdoor wilderness

18986
09:32:57,785 --> 09:32:58,652
camping and like you know,

18987
09:32:58,652 --> 09:33:02,252
let's get let's let's start to

18988
09:33:02,824 --> 09:33:05,824
stop just spending money on

18989
09:33:09,698 --> 09:33:10,364
things of course that you're

18990
09:33:10,364 --> 09:33:10,832
actually going to get out of

18991
09:33:10,832 --> 09:33:11,466
the bureaucracy.

18992
09:33:11,466 --> 09:33:11,967
Well it will go back to

18993
09:33:11,967 --> 09:33:13,967
the surveillance.

18994
09:33:15,300 --> 09:33:15,670
You know a big other as far as

18995
09:33:15,670 --> 09:33:16,371
we know the surveillance is

18996
09:33:16,371 --> 09:33:17,500
keeping track of the unhoused

18997
09:33:17,500 --> 09:33:20,500
folks and making sure they

18998
09:33:20,408 --> 09:33:20,842
don't get into the nice

18999
09:33:20,842 --> 09:33:21,509
neighborhoods.

19000
09:33:21,509 --> 09:33:24,509
You know, and that's that's

19001
09:33:26,848 --> 09:33:27,549
it's we got every go to be as a

19002
09:33:27,549 --> 09:33:30,549
social worker and a librarian

19003
09:33:31,686 --> 09:33:32,120
that's going to be solving

19004
09:33:32,120 --> 09:33:33,200
the problems.

19005
09:33:33,200 --> 09:33:33,722
We know that a lot of money is

19006
09:33:33,722 --> 09:33:36,722
getting wasted on things that

19007
09:33:38,360 --> 09:33:39,260
are just keeping some people

19008
09:33:39,260 --> 09:33:39,728
safe but are literally again

19009
09:33:39,728 --> 09:33:40,298
those are the people stepping

19010
09:33:40,298 --> 09:33:42,698
over the other people.

19011
09:33:44,366 --> 09:33:45,233
America supposed to be a place

19012
09:33:45,233 --> 09:33:45,866
where we help each other and

19013
09:33:45,866 --> 09:33:46,234
