Christian because I 576 00:29:18,439 --> 00:29:21,439 feel like I'm already being 577 00:29:21,577 --> 00:29:22,377 persecuted And for the Haitian 578 00:29:22,377 --> 00:29:23,110 Flag Day I'm just out here 579 00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:26,110 making points that I think 580 00:29:26,748 --> 00:29:27,449 someone has to make if no one 581 00:29:27,449 --> 00:29:31,490 else is going to make them. 582 00:29:31,387 --> 00:29:32,121 Um, Haiti is widely considered 583 00:29:32,121 --> 00:29:32,754 one of the most corrupt 584 00:29:32,754 --> 00:29:33,355 countries in the world and 585 00:29:33,355 --> 00:29:36,355 their people are some of 586 00:29:36,858 --> 00:29:37,426 the poorest and the is 587 00:29:37,426 --> 00:29:39,826 the poorest country in 588 00:29:41,597 --> 00:29:42,398 the Western Hemisphere And I 589 00:29:42,398 --> 00:29:42,998 like I'm just curious how for 590 00:29:42,998 --> 00:29:45,398 the we celebrate Jewish 591 00:29:47,236 --> 00:29:47,903 American heritage Month and 592 00:29:47,903 --> 00:29:48,604 Haitian Flag Day I wish we 593 00:29:48,604 --> 00:29:51,400 could celebrate I think 594 00:29:52,574 --> 00:29:53,208 the people from Haiti are some 595 00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:55,608 of the friendliest people. 596 00:29:56,945 --> 00:29:57,746 Some of them are my neighbors 597 00:29:57,746 --> 00:30:01,346 But I wish we could separate 598 00:30:01,416 --> 00:30:02,117 the flag from the people 599 00:30:02,117 --> 00:30:05,117 instead of having Haitian Flag 600 00:30:06,255 --> 00:30:06,522 Day Maybe on Haitian Heritage 601 00:30:06,522 --> 00:30:07,256 Day. 602 00:30:07,256 --> 00:30:11,193 And the reason why is because I 603 00:30:11,193 --> 00:30:11,894 used to live in a third world 604 00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:14,894 country in Namibia, Africa and 605 00:30:16,298 --> 00:30:16,999 I visited the slums and I know 606 00:30:16,999 --> 00:30:20,599 what it's like to walk around 607 00:30:20,869 --> 00:30:21,570 that area And I volunteered 608 00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:22,438 there And I think there's 609 00:30:22,438 --> 00:30:26,380 people in Haiti who MAY feel 610 00:30:26,775 --> 00:30:27,443 oppressed by the Haitian flag 611 00:30:27,443 --> 00:30:28,770 where the government is rich 612 00:30:28,770 --> 00:30:28,444 and the government has all 613 00:30:28,444 --> 00:30:30,444 the money. 614 00:30:30,915 --> 00:30:31,647 I think it's actually been 615 00:30:31,647 --> 00:30:34,470 considered state capture what's 616 00:30:35,684 --> 00:30:36,285 going on in Haiti and I'm just 617 00:30:36,285 --> 00:30:36,919 here to make the point. 618 00:30:36,919 --> 00:30:39,919 Having a flag that's that 619 00:30:40,356 --> 00:30:41,570 celebrates the most corrupt 620 00:30:41,570 --> 00:30:41,624 government in the world and 621 00:30:41,624 --> 00:30:44,240 the poorest country in 622 00:30:45,528 --> 00:30:46,262 the world due to the government 623 00:30:46,262 --> 00:30:46,895 corruption where the government 624 00:30:46,895 --> 00:30:47,563 sitting fine in Haiti and 625 00:30:47,563 --> 00:30:50,266 they're flying the flag over 626 00:30:50,266 --> 00:30:51,400 their mansions. 627 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,870 And I just wanted to say I wish 628 00:30:54,870 --> 00:30:57,870 we got Haitian Heritage Day, 629 00:30:59,141 --> 00:30:59,842 not Haitian Flag Day And again 630 00:30:59,842 --> 00:31:02,242 separate the people from 631 00:31:04,547 --> 00:31:05,314 the country and I think a lot 632 00:31:05,314 --> 00:31:09,118 of people in Haiti MAY even see 633 00:31:09,118 --> 00:31:09,818 more freedom in the American 634 00:31:09,818 --> 00:31:10,486 flag than the Haitian flag of 635 00:31:10,486 --> 00:31:13,486 the people actually in Haiti 636 00:31:14,357 --> 00:31:18,327 And I just wanted to say for 637 00:31:18,327 --> 00:31:21,327 the other for Juneteenth Day 638 00:31:23,232 --> 00:31:24,330 and I have no comment on that. 639 00:31:24,330 -->

00:31:37,243 how I'm being persecuted by 643 00:31:38,114 --> 00:31:38,814 the Masonic Lodge for being a 644 00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,814 Christian And I honestly think 645 00:31:42,952 --> 00:31:43,786 of the Scottish Rite and again 646 00:31:43,786 --> 00:31:44,487 I have two things that resemble 647 00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:47,487 Freemasonry and then a Haitian 648 00:31:48,291 -->

flag and celebrating that 674 00:32:34,103 --> 00:32:34,804 because that could be seen by 675 00:32:34,804 --> 00:32:37,204 some individuals as something 676 00:32:38,208 --> 00:32:39,750 that is like an enslavement. 677 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:39,943 I mean I'm starting to see 678 00:32:39,943 --> 00:32:43,546 the American flag is kind of an 679 00:32:43,546 --> 00:32:44,247 embarrassment because of all 680 00:32:44,247 --> 00:32:47,847 the things that happen in our 681 00:32:48,584 --> 00:32:49,185 nation and the enslavement that 682 00:32:49,185 --> 00:32:51,585 happens with the people. 683 00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:53,756 And that's why even with 684 00:32:53,756 --> 00:32:56,756 Juneteenth it's like, you know, 685 00:32:57,494 --> 00:32:58,260 nobody's free. 686 00:32:58,260 --> 00:32:58,994 I mean we can celebrate these 687 00:32:58,994 --> 00:33:01,994 things because nobody should be 688 00:33:02,632 --> 00:33:03,499 enslaved But you know, as as a 689 00:33:03,499 --> 00:33:07,170 mass as a group, as all of us 690 00:33:07,170 --> 00:33:07,938 we are being enslaved because 691 00:33:07,938 --> 00:33:08,672 if you look at what's happening 692 00:33:08,672 --> 00:33:12,800 across the world, I mean people 693 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:12,809 are, you know, suffering. 694 00:33:12,809 --> 00:33:16,409 I mean they're just trying to 695 00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:17,447 survive and then, you know, 696 00:33:17,447 --> 00:33:18,181 the government's here to put 697 00:33:18,181 --> 00:33:21,584 you in all these programs and 698 00:33:21,584 --> 00:33:22,452 it's like a prison cell that 699 00:33:22,452 --> 00:33:26,623 you guys put people in and you 700 00:33:26,623 --> 00:33:27,290 create dependance and the need 701 00:33:27,290 --> 00:33:30,890 for you know, people to come 702 00:33:31,528 --> 00:33:32,162 and get services But then you 703 00:33:32,162 --> 00:33:32,829 don't even really provide 704 00:33:32,829 --> 00:33:35,932 the services that need to be 705 00:33:35,932 --> 00:33:36,466 you guys take our money and you 706 00:33:36,466 --> 00:33:37,234 racketeer with it. 707 00:33:37,234 --> 00:33:38,100 It's really sad and it's like 708 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:41,571 you know behind all of these 709 00:33:41,571 --> 00:33:42,272 proclamations there's so much 710 00:33:42,272 --> 00:33:44,574 more that needs to be talked 711 00:33:44,574 --> 00:33:45,275 about And that's why Ephesians 712 00:33:45,275 --> 00:33:46,900 511 is so important because 713 00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:49,609 we're in a spiritual battle and 714 00:33:49,613 --> 00:33:50,314 we have been since 715 00:33:50,314 --> 00:33:51,140 the beginning of time And for 716 00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:54,484 those of you that believe you 717 00:33:54,484 --> 00:33:55,185 should really see that and 718 00:33:55,185 --> 00:33:55,886 that's why we're not supposed 719 00:33:55,886 --> 00:33:58,886 to engage with this spiritual 720 00:33:59,289 --> 00:33:59,956 works the works of spiritual 721 00:33:59,956 --> 00:34:00,390 darkness but we're rather to 722 00:34:00,390 --> 00:34:02,390 approve them. 723 00:34:04,328 --> 00:34:04,962 And so sometimes that means 724 00:34:04,962 --> 00:34:05,661 saying things that people 725 00:34:05,661 --> 00:34:06,396 aren't going to like hearing. 726 00:34:06,396 --> 00:34:09,333 But I feel like when we are 727 00:34:09,333 --> 00:34:10,330 celebrating Jewish heritage, 728 00:34:10,330 --> 00:34:13,633 you know, we don't talk about 729 00:34:14,371 --> 00:34:15,138 the things like you know that 730 00:34:15,138 --> 00:34:18,842 in the Talmud you know, a three 731 00:34:18,842 --> 00:34:19,643 year old plus one day is able 732 00:34:19,643 --> 00:34:23,243 to consent to having sex that's 733 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:24,715 pedophilia that Moyles will go 734 00:34:24,715 --> 00:34:27,715 in and orally copulate also 735 00:34:29,186 --> 00:34:29,853 known as rape boys who have 736 00:34:29,853 --> 00:34:30,554 been circumcised And that's 737 00:34:30,554 --> 00:34:33,554 actually a satanic ritual to 738 00:34:34,358 --> 00:34:38,558 the blood of a child like that. 739 00:34:38,595 --> 00:34:39,262 And it's just sad that that can 740 00:34:39,262 --> 00:34:39,596 happen in front of so many 741 00:34:39,596 --> 00:34:40,430 people. 742 00:34:40,430 --> 00:34:43,167 I mean this is why the abuse of 743 00:34:43,167 --> 00:34:43,834 children continues because 744 00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:44,667 people brush stuff like this 745 00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:48,338 under the rug And Israel is a 746 00:34:48,338 --> 00:34:49,106 pedophile sanctuary. 747 00:34:49,106 --> 00:34:52,706 It's a place where people can 748 00:34:53,143 --> 00:34:53,811 go and not have any you know, 749 00:34:53,811 --> 00:34:55,811 accountability for children. 750 00:34:57,448 --> 00:34:58,148 And again, America is 751 00:34:58,148 --> 00:34:58,449 the biggest consumer of child 752 00:34:58,449 --> 00:34:59,149 porn. 753 00:34:59,149 --> 00:34:59,450 It gets distributed across all 754 00:34:59,450 --> 00:35:01,450 over. 755 00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:03,187 I mean you guys have had 756 00:35:03,187 --> 00:35:06,187 officers that have you know, 757 00:35:06,724 --> 00:35:07,391 are being charged with that So 758 00:35:07,391 --> 00:35:10,391 thank you for that remark. 759 00:35:11,729 --> 00:35:12,429 >> Sidney Cooper Jr After that 760 00:35:12,429 --> 00:35:13,300 we have Jason Shanley If you 761 00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,300 can please come up to 762 00:35:16,700 -->

--> 00:36:37,515 and I think it's important to 820 00:36:37,515 --> 00:36:37,815 exercise rights when we have 821 00:36:37,815 --> 00:36:38,516 them. 822 00:36:38,516 --> 00:36:41,452 Very grateful

826 00:36:46,857 --> 00:36:47,458 toiling and not understanding 827 00:36:47,458 --> 00:36:48,920 that freedom was around 828 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,950 the corner And what I was 829 00:36:51,950 --> 00:36:51,796 thinking to myself and maybe to 830 00:36:51,796 --> 00:36:52,496 remind leaders and people that 831 00:36:52,496 --> 00:36:55,496 MAY be struggling for a 832 00:36:55,699 --> 00:36:56,334 particular cause I think it's 833 00:36:56,334 --> 00:36:57,340 important to remember that 834 00:36:57,340 --> 00:37:00,340 sometimes the freedom has come 835 00:37:00,571 --> 00:37:01,205 and we just haven't the message 836 00:37:01,205 --> 00:37:02,139 hasn't been delivered yet. 837 00:37:02,139 --> 00:37:06,210 And so to me it was a silver 838 00:37:06,210 --> 00:37:06,911 lining in Juneteenth that 839 00:37:06,911 --> 00:37:07,545 freedom was always available. 840 00:37:07,545 --> 00:37:07,945 It's just that people just 841 00:37:07,945 --> 00:37:09,945 didn't know. 842 00:37:10,782 --> 00:37:11,482 And so I just wanted to 843 00:37:11,482 --> 00:37:11,816 encourage everybody to see it 844 00:37:11,816 --> 00:37:12,617 through. 845 00:37:12,617 -->

hope that we can get to 849 00:37:17,188 --> 00:37:20,158 the point at some point where 850 00:37:20,158 --> 00:37:20,892 we realize that to be little 851 00:37:20,892 --> 00:37:23,892 celebrations of people that are 852 00:37:25,163 --> 00:37:25,963 here in America try to enjoy 853 00:37:25,963 --> 00:37:26,664 what they enjoy I think is a 854 00:37:26,664 --> 00:37:27,970 disservice to the things that 855 00:37:27,970 --> 00:37:29,970 we fought for. 856 00:37:29,968 --> 00:37:30,702 So thank you for everything. 857 00:37:30,702 --> 00:37:31,101 >> Thank you for remembering 858 00:37:31,101 -->

00:48:29,964 --> 00:48:30,399 able to give this proclamation 1185 00:48:30,399 --> 00:48:32,399 at that time. 1186 00:48:35,637 --> 00:48:36,338 This is a time when we honor 1187 00:48:36,338 --> 00:48:37,720 the Jewish-American community 1188 00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:40,672 which has been in America since 1189 00:48:40,975 --> 00:48:41,309 the very beginning of our 1190 00:48:41,309 --> 00:48:43,309 nation. 1191 00:48:46,848 --> 00:48:47,549 Judaism teaches us nothing of 1192 00:48:47,549 --> 00:48:48,483 what that person spoke of. 1193 00:48:48,483 --> 00:48:52,521 That is a lie and that is 1194 00:48:52,521 --> 00:48:53,540 completely anti-Semitic and 1195 00:48:53,540 --> 00:48:55,540 wrong and incorrect. 1196 00:48:59,600 --> 00:48:59,928 The Jewish religion teaches us 1197 00:48:59,928 --> 00:49:00,228 that we are all one people all 1198 00:49:00,228 --> 00:49:02,228 of us. 1199 00:49:07,368 --> 00:49:10,500 Shamar I Israel on an oil here 1200 00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:10,639 of Israel The Lord is one 1201 00:49:10,639 --> 00:49:11,306 The Jewish people brought 1202 00:49:11,306 --> 00:49:14,906 the concept of one GOD to 1203 00:49:16,111 --> 00:49:16,845 the world. 1204 00:49:16,845 --> 00:49:17,646 It is our responsibility as 1205 00:49:17,646 --> 00:49:22,350 Jews and as all of us to care 1206 00:49:22,350 --> 00:49:22,851 for our communities and to 1207 00:49:22,851 --> 00:49:23,485 uplift each other. 1208 00:49:23,485 --> 00:49:26,485 When a Jewish synagogue in 1209 00:49:27,555 --> 00:49:28,357 Patchway was targeted in 2019 1210 00:49:28,357 --> 00:49:28,990 resulting in one woman who had 1211 00:49:28,990 --> 00:49:31,990 died from her injuries and 1212 00:49:33,462 --> 00:49:34,162 three other people injured, all 1213 00:49:34,162 --> 00:49:34,830 the San Diego residents of all 1214 00:49:34,830 --> 00:49:37,230 backgrounds and faiths came 1215 00:49:39,201 --> 00:49:39,901 around the Jewish community and 1216 00:49:39,901 --> 00:49:42,301 helped including the Muslims. 1217 00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:45,974 And last month our city in our 1218 00:49:45,974 --> 00:49:46,709 city three men were murdered at 1219 00:49:46,709 --> 00:49:50,309 the Islamic Center of San Diego 1220 00:49:50,879 --> 00:49:51,446 in a hate crime just because 1221 00:49:51,446 --> 00:49:51,813 they are of the Muslim 1222 00:49:51,813 --> 00:49:52,314 religion. 1223 00:49:52,314 --> 00:49:54,714 This is so wrong. 1224 00:49:57,619 --> 00:49:58,153 And remember that Judaism is a 1225 00:49:58,153 --> 00:50:00,553 religion not a race. 1226 00:50:02,824 --> 00:50:03,158 All races contain Jewish people 1227 00:50:03,158 --> 00:50:03,825 . 1228 00:50:03,825 --> 00:50:04,493 It is an ancient ancient 1229 00:50:04,493 --> 00:50:07,493 religion and it is religion 1230 00:50:08,563 --> 00:50:09,164 that respects all of our 1231 00:50:09,164 --> 00:50:09,932 brothers and sisters and 1232 00:50:09,932 --> 00:50:13,532 teaches us that everyone is a 1233 00:50:15,137 --> 00:50:15,804 brother and sister. 1234 00:50:15,804 --> 00:50:19,404 The Golden Rule All of these 1235 00:50:21,542 --> 00:50:22,277 things came from Judaism and we 1236 00:50:22,277 --> 00:50:25,277 support our Muslim brothers and 1237 00:50:27,516 --> 00:50:28,117 sisters and I want to say that 1238 00:50:28,117 --> 00:50:30,517 you should not conflate 1239 00:50:32,354 --> 00:50:32,788 the Jewish people of America 1240 00:50:32,788 --> 00:50:33,555 with Israel. 1241 00:50:33,555 --> 00:50:37,155 We have nothing to do with 1242 00:50:38,527 --> 00:50:39,127 the political system or 1243 00:50:39,127 --> 00:50:39,862 the problems in Israel. 1244 00:50:39,862 --> 00:50:43,462 We are Americans and we believe 1245 00:50:44,433 --> 00:50:45,200 in the separation of church and 1246 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:45,834 state And I believe if they did 1247 00:50:45,834 --> 00:50:48,834 that they'd be better off. 1248 00:50:51,173 --> 00:50:51,907 But that's my opinion because 1249 00:50:51,907 --> 00:50:52,407 I'm an American and that's what 1250 00:50:52,407 --> 00:50:54,407 we practice here. 1251 00:50:55,244 --> 00:50:58,844 I think I'm about

00:58:26,331 --> 00:58:26,965 successful fight to expand 1534 00:58:26,965 --> 00:58:29,965 the promise of equality to 1535 00:58:32,537 --> 00:58:33,204 women to the Freedom Summer in 1536 00:58:33,204 --> 00:58:33,872 1964 where two young Jewish 1537 00:58:33,872 --> 00:58:36,272 activists Andrew Goodman and 1538 00:58:37,876 --> 00:58:38,576 Michael Schwerner were murdered 1539

00:58:50,689 liberation and freedom and 1546 00:58:50,689 --> 00:58:52,689 America. 1547 00:58:55,860 --> 00:58:56,494 Well, thank you for your 1548 00:58:56,494 --> 00:58:57,195 comments about making this 1549 00:58:57,195 --> 00:58:57,496 about Jewish American Heritage 1550 00:58:57,496 --> 00:58:58,129 Month. 1551 00:58:58,129 --> 00:59:01,129 That's what this is about. 1552 00:59:02,834 --> 00:59:03,368 But then also the country Jews 1553 00:59:03,368 --> 00:59:05,768 here in America and 1554 00:59:07,806 --> 00:59:08,105 the contributions that are made 1555 00:59:08,105 --> 00:59:08,773 . 1556 00:59:08,773 --> 00:59:09,407 And finally I'll turn to 1557 00:59:09,407 --> 00:59:10,108 Juneteenth which might be 1558 00:59:10,108 --> 00:59:13,108 the most powerful reminder of 1559 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:14,746 all of that notion that 1560 00:59:14,746 --> 00:59:15,460 liberation is not given through 1561 00:59:15,460 --> 00:59:17,460 words. 1562 00:59:19,751 --> 00:59:20,485 The Emancipation Proclamation 1563 00:59:20,485 --> 00:59:21,153 was historic and necessary, but 1564 00:59:21,153 --> 00:59:24,153 a proclamation is words and 1565 00:59:25,390 --> 00:59:26,158 words on a page in outbreak 1566 00:59:26,158 --> 00:59:26,857 The Chains of For more than 1567 00:59:26,857 --> 00:59:27,559 two years after it was signed, 1568 00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:29,959 people in Texas remained 1569 00:59:32,563 --> 00:59:33,266 enslaved until troops reached 1570 00:59:33,266 --> 00:59:33,998 Galveston and did the work of 1571 00:59:33,998 --> 00:59:36,998 carrying that freedom into into 1572 00:59:38,169 --> 00:59:38,770 the world and enforcing it. 1573 00:59:38,770 --> 00:59:39,471 Freedom declared is not 1574 00:59:39,471 --> 00:59:42,471 the same as freedom delivered. 1575 00:59:44,242 --> 00:59:44,943 This is the tension woven into 1576 00:59:44,943 --> 00:59:45,644 our nation since its founding 1577 00:59:45,644 --> 00:59:48,644 The space between the promises 1578 00:59:50,615 --> 00:59:51,249 that were written on paper and 1579 00:59:51,249 --> 00:59:51,717 the freedom the people are 1580 00:59:51,717 --> 00:59:52,417 actually living. 1581 00:59:52,417 --> 00:59:55,887 We declare that all people are 1582 00:59:55,887 --> 00:59:56,388 created equal while millions 1583 00:59:56,388 --> 00:59:58,388 were held in. 1584 01:00:01,860 --> 01:00:02,527 Closing that gap has been an 1585 01:00:02,527 --> 01:00:03,228 ongoing effort and it has 1586 01:00:03,228 --> 01:00:03,595 required people willing to do 1587 01:00:03,595 --> 01:00:05,595 the work. 1588 01:00:07,933 --> 01:00:08,600 So with all three of these 1589 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,600 proclamations they certainly 1590 01:00:14,373 --> 01:00:14,973 are a reason to celebrate but 1591 01:00:14,973 --> 01:00:17,973 they're also a reason to 1592 01:00:20,745 --> 01:00:21,560 recommit to the work of freedom 1593 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:21,713 . 1594 01:00:21,713 -->

01:00:57,313 the significance of Juneteenth. 1615 01:00:59,318 --> 01:01:00,520 Juneteenth reminds us of 1616 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:00,786 the perseverance and resilience 1617 01:01:00,786 --> 01:01:01,453 of the black community and also 1618 01:01:01,453 --> 01:01:04,453 the long struggle to ensure 1619 01:01:05,557 --> 01:01:06,191 that freedom and equal rights 1620 01:01:06,191 -->

requires more than the passage 1627 01:01:23,709 --> 01:01:24,477 of a law, One of the lessons 1628 01:01:24,477 --> 01:01:27,477 Juneteenth teaches us is that 1629 01:01:29,281 --> 01:01:29,915 policy is not enough. 1630 01:01:29,915 --> 01:01:30,616 Meaningful change requires 1631 01:01:30,616 --> 01:01:32,616 implementation, accountability 1632 01:01:34,853 --> 01:01:35,621 and

this 1732 01:04:52,986 --> 01:04:53,720 day is a reminder of the path 1733 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:54,321 to liberation even when delayed 1734 01:04:54,321 --> 01:04:54,888 can be achieved through 1735 01:04:54,888 --> 01:04:57,288 the enduring power of 1736 01:04:58,825 --> 01:04:59,525 resistance and resilience and 1737 01:04:59,525 --> 01:05:01,925 the recognition of Juneteenth 1738 01:05:03,964

01:14:26,290 we can take all that bad and 1980 01:14:26,290 --> 01:14:26,829 set it to the side for the day 1981 01:14:26,829 --> 01:14:30,429 and say we are good people. 1982 01:14:31,134 -->

it's something that 1986 01:14:40,443 --> 01:14:40,777 we all need to continue to 1987 01:14:40,777 --> 01:14:41,678 strive. 1988 01:14:41,678 --> 01:14:45,682 And I will say this and I 1989

02:00:51,160 for sites in underserved 3164 02:00:53,664 --> 02:00:54,365 communities whether that be 3165 02:00:54,365 --> 02:00:55,660 through the opportunity fund, 3166 02:00:55,660 --> 02:00:58,660 through grants and through our 3167 02:00:58,369 --> 02:00:58,703 philanthropic partners and 3168 02:00:58,703 --> 02:00:59,437 salemi. 3169 02:00:59,437 --> 02:01:00,171 We'll talk more to that shortly 3170 02:01:00,171 --> 02:01:02,907 on the complete outside funding 3171 02:01:02,907 --> 02:01:03,374 that helps support programs 3172 02:01:03,374 --> 02:01:04,342 across the city. 3173 02:01:04,342 --> 02:01:07,942 Here are the 14 sites that are 3174 02:01:08,179 --> 02:01:08,513 proposed to receive opportunity 3175 02:01:08,513 --> 02:01:09,130 funding. 3176 02:01:09,130 -->

Fund score. 3187 02:01:26,798 --> 02:01:27,432 The higher their score, 3188 02:01:27,432 --> 02:01:27,732 the higher their financial 3189 02:01:27,732 --> 02:01:28,433 need. 3190 02:01:28,433 --> 02:01:29,134 And again those other factors 3191 02:01:29,134 --> 02:01:32,203 whether they are residing in a 3192 02:01:32,203 --> 02:01:32,904 community of concern and if 3193 02:01:32,904 --> 02:01:35,904 they have an aquatic facility 3194 02:01:37,141 --> 02:01:37,876 those also boost points and 3195 02:01:37,876 --> 02:01:38,276 you'll see that budget baseline 3196 02:01:38,276 --> 02:01:40,276 of $85,000. 3197 02:01:42,180 --> 02:01:42,881 There are some sites here that 3198 02:01:42,881 --> 02:01:43,515 are anticipated to receive hud 3199 02:01:43,515 --> 02:01:45,915 funding this fiscal year. 3200 02:01:47,118 --> 02:01:47,786 The committee still felt that 3201 02:01:47,786 --> 02:01:48,453 it was important to continue 3202 02:01:48,453 --> 02:01:50,453 providing these opportunity 3203 02:01:51,990 --> 02:01:52,624 fund allocations to those sites 3204 02:01:52,624 --> 02:01:53,291 in the event that the hud 3205 02:01:53,291 --> 02:01:56,270 funding is pulled for any 3206 02:01:56,270 --> 02:01:56,962 reason. 3207 02:01:56,962 --> 02:01:59,962 And with that these are 3208 02:02:01,132 --> 02:02:01,833 the actions that we are 3209 02:02:01,833 --> 02:02:02,133 requesting of the Council this 3210 02:02:02,133 --> 02:02:04,133 year. 3211 02:02:06,438 --> 02:02:07,139 And I will hand it over to 3212 02:02:07,139 --> 02:02:07,839 Salemi to go over the complete 3213 02:02:07,839 --> 02:02:10,839 outside report and then we'll 3214 02:02:12,377 --> 02:02:12,677 take any questions you MAY have 3215 02:02:12,677 --> 02:02:13,780 . 3216 02:02:13,780 -->

outside program 3220 02:02:18,716 --> 02:02:19,184 that we offered in 2025 and our 3221 02:02:19,184 --> 02:02:21,184 accomplishments. 3222 02:02:22,621 --> 02:02:23,288 This program began I began as a 3223 02:02:23,288 --> 02:02:24,880 part of the mayor for Mayor 3224 02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:27,225 Todd Gloria Summer for all of 3225 02:02:27,225 --> 02:02:27,993 us initiative. 3226 02:02:27,993 --> 02:02:28,593 This program targets youth in 3227 02:02:28,593 --> 02:02:30,593 historically underserved 3228 02:02:31,997 --> 02:02:32,697 communities and aims to provide 3229 02:02:32,697 --> 02:02:33,398 equitable access to a variety 3230 02:02:33,398 --> 02:02:35,798 of recreational activities and 3231 02:02:37,235 --> 02:02:37,869 events for all to attend. 3232 02:02:37,869 --> 02:02:38,503 Since the inception of 3233 02:02:38,503 --> 02:02:40,805 the program we're proud to 3234 02:02:40,805 --> 02:02:41,607 announce that we've reached 3235 02:02:41,607 --> 02:02:44,700 over 208,000 youth adults and 3236 02:02:45,577 --> 02:02:45,877 seniors over the past five 3237 02:02:45,877 --> 02:02:47,877 years. 3238 02:02:50,382 --> 02:02:51,830 Programing participation and 3239 02:02:51,830 --> 02:02:51,617 funding has fluctuated as seen 3240 02:02:51,617 --> 02:02:54,170 on the table below. 3241 02:02:54,886 --> 02:02:55,521 And that's just due to 3242 02:02:55,521 --> 02:02:56,121 the changes in programing 3243 02:02:56,121 --> 02:02:56,755 that's being offered or 3244 02:02:56,755 --> 02:02:59,155 the funding available year 3245 02:03:00,580 --> 02:03:00,525 after year to be able to have 3246 02:03:00,525 --> 02:03:01,226 those programs. 3247 02:03:01,226 --> 02:03:04,796 This year we had less level of 3248 02:03:04,796 --> 02:03:05,497 camps and less deep sea fishing 3249 02:03:05,497 --> 02:03:05,931 trips which resulted in lower 3250 02:03:05,931 --> 02:03:07,931 participation. 3251 02:03:09,301 --> 02:03:09,902 But overall we did see an 3252 02:03:09,902 --> 02:03:12,302 increase in funding from 3253 02:03:13,204 --> 02:03:13,605 contributors in 2025 3254 02:03:13,605 --> 02:03:14,373 programing. 3255 02:03:14,373 --> 02:03:15,600 And our goal every year is to 3256 02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:17,600 increase participation and 3257 02:03:17,910 --> 02:03:18,744 funding as much as possible. 3258 02:03:18,744 --> 02:03:19,177 I'll just ask for an additional 3259 02:03:19,177 --> 02:03:21,177 three minutes. 3260 02:03:22,481 --> 02:03:23,215 Thank you. 3261 02:03:23,215 --> 02:03:23,916 The complete outside programing 3262 02:03:23,916 --> 02:03:24,583 events are supported through a 3263 02:03:24,583 --> 02:03:26,983 combination of city funding 3264 02:03:27,685 --> 02:03:28,386 grants and donations. 3265 02:03:28,386 --> 02:03:29,200 We appreciate all funders that 3266 02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:31,420 help support this program 3267 02:03:32,524 --> 02:03:33,225 including the San Diego Parks 3268 02:03:33,225 --> 02:03:33,892 Foundation, the county of San 3269 02:03:33,892 --> 02:03:36,892 Diego feeding San Diego San 3270 02:03:37,763 --> 02:03:38,464 Diego Foundation and our own 3271 02:03:38,464 --> 02:03:42,640 local

02:03:47,573 --> 02:03:49,973 in contributions were utilized 3276 02:03:50,976 --> 02:03:51,677 to support the complete outside 3277 02:03:51,677 --> 02:03:52,278 programs and this was across 3278 02:03:52,278 --> 02:03:52,878 all of our historically 3279 02:03:52,878 --> 02:03:54,878 underserved communities. 3280 02:03:56,810 --> 02:03:56,749 Since the inception 3281 02:03:56,749 --> 02:03:58,751 the department has received 3282 02:03:58,751 --> 02:04:01,151 over 9.5 million in total 3283 02:04:03,589 --> 02:04:04,256 contributions. 3284 02:04:04,256 --> 02:04:05,240 >> The next slides here will 3285 02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:08,327 just go over a brief summary of 3286 02:04:08,327 --> 02:04:08,827 what those programs look like 3287 02:04:08,827 --> 02:04:09,261 and the attendance 3288 02:04:09,261 --> 02:04:11,261 participation. 3289 02:04:12,298 --> 02:04:12,964 So so far we've expanded 3290 02:04:12,964 --> 02:04:13,599 the programs in 2025 to 36 3291 02:04:13,599 --> 02:04:15,999 recreation centers and for 3292 02:04:17,436 --> 02:04:18,370 aquatic facilities during 3293 02:04:18,370 --> 02:04:18,770 the month of MAY through 3294 02:04:18,770 --> 02:04:21,770 SEPTEMBER which are peak summer 3295 02:04:22,410 --> 02:04:22,775 months with the target 3296 02:04:22,775 --> 02:04:23,342 investment in council districts 3297 02:04:23,342 --> 02:04:24,800 four, eight and nine. 3298 02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:27,120 But we did expand to council 3299 02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:27,313 districts three and seven as 3300 02:04:27,313 --> 02:04:27,879 well. 3301 02:04:27,879 --> 02:04:28,547 The primary focus for 3302 02:04:28,547 --> 02:04:31,547 the programing was based on 3303 02:04:31,850 --> 02:04:32,451 documented gaps in access to 3304 02:04:32,451 --> 02:04:32,885 recreational enrichment 3305 02:04:32,885 --> 02:04:33,552 opportunities. 3306 02:04:33,552 --> 02:04:36,552 And our staff actually works 3307 02:04:36,888 --> 02:04:37,589 alongside the site supervisors 3308 02:04:37,589 --> 02:04:38,323 to determine where the need is 3309 02:04:38,323 --> 02:04:41,323 to enhance their programs as 3310 02:04:41,661 --> 02:04:43,661 needed. 3311 02:04:45,697 --> 02:04:46,365 So overall we've reached over 3312 02:04:46,365 --> 02:04:48,365 54,476 participating FTEs 3313 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:50,569 through 1418 programs that were 3314 02:04:50,569 --> 02:04:51,337 offered in total. 3315 02:04:51,337 --> 02:04:54,640 >> So here you'll see and I 3316 02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:55,341 won't go over all of these but 3317 02:04:55,341 --> 02:04:55,975 you'll just see an overview of 3318 02:04:55,975 --> 02:04:56,309 all the programs that were 3319 02:04:56,309 --> 02:04:58,309 offered. 3320 02:04:59,345 --> 02:05:00,112 So kudos to all our staff that 3321 02:05:00,112 --> 02:05:00,746 work day in and day out over 3322 02:05:00,746 --> 02:05:01,113 the summer to put on these 3323 02:05:01,113 --> 02:05:03,113 programs. 3324 02:05:04,483 --> 02:05:05,118 But you'll see high level this 3325 02:05:05,118 --> 02:05:05,785 this is over the last five 3326 02:05:05,785 --> 02:05:08,185 years the attendance at 3327 02:05:09,555 --> 02:05:10,289 participation numbers for our 3328 02:05:10,289 --> 02:05:10,990 day camps, our specialty camps, 3329 02:05:10,990 --> 02:05:13,990 nature camps, team nights and 3330 02:05:14,727 --> 02:05:17,727 left to right you'll see 3331 02:05:17,764 --> 02:05:18,531 the numbers from 2021 to 2020 3332 02:05:18,531 --> 02:05:21,531 1225 and how the program has 3333 02:05:22,602 --> 02:05:23,469 grown. 3334 02:05:23,469 --> 02:05:24,169 As mentioned we see some of 3335 02:05:24,169 --> 02:05:27,169 the fluctuation in the amount 3336 02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:28,206 of specialty camp specialty 3337 02:05:28,206 --> 02:05:28,841 camps are. 3338 02:05:28,841 --> 02:05:31,241 These are the gymnastics, 3339 02:05:32,445 --> 02:05:33,146 the karate, the stem, the drone 3340

02:05:38,150 And we saw a reduction in 3344 02:05:38,150 --> 02:05:38,785 the level out camps which 3345 02:05:38,785 --> 02:05:40,785 dropped the participation. 3346 02:05:42,488 --> 02:05:42,855 Nature camps are offered by 3347 02:05:42,855 --> 02:05:43,556 the staff. 3348 02:05:43,556 --> 02:05:46,556 They the this program rotates 3349 02:05:46,859 --> 02:05:47,527 around year after year to

02:13:55,615 they received about $157,000. 3629 02:13:57,553 --> 02:13:58,320 How much opportunity funds did 3630 02:13:58,320 --> 02:14:00,720 District eight receive this 3631 02:14:02,190 --> 02:14:04,190 year? 3632 02:14:20,509 --> 02:14:22,909 Don't answer that part 55,000 3633 02:14:24,547 --> 02:14:27,547 for Caesar Solis and 13,929 for 3634 02:14:28,617 --> 02:14:29,351 South Crest. 3635 02:14:29,351 --> 02:14:32,951 I'll do the math right here 3636 02:14:33,422 --> 02:14:33,722 55,000 for Caesar Solis And how 3637 02:14:33,722 --> 02:14:35,722 much? 3638 02:14:37,626 --> 02:14:38,327 55,008 14 and 13,009 29 I'll 3639 02:14:38,327 --> 02:14:41,327 put 13,000 since I didn't get 3640 02:14:42,464 --> 02:14:43,132 that So roughly around 70 3641 02:14:43,132 --> 02:14:43,866 something thousand dollars. 3642 02:14:43,866 --> 02:14:46,866 >> Does that sound equitable to 3643 02:14:47,670 --> 02:14:50,700 you when District eight 3644 02:14:51,172 --> 02:14:53,172 received about $75,000 compared 3645 02:14:54,477 --> 02:14:55,111 to the 250,000 that d nine and 3646 02:14:55,111 --> 02:14:56,780 d four received this year? 3647 02:14:56,780 --> 02:14:59,315 And let me point to you that 3648 02:14:59,315 --> 02:15:00,480 last year District eight only 3649 02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:02,480 received $49,000 in opportunity 3650 02:15:07,990 --> 02:15:08,758 funds while d nine received 160 3651 02:15:08,758 --> 02:15:12,358 and d four received 157 So I 3652 02:15:12,928 --> 02:15:13,629 ask you again does that sound 3653 02:15:13,629 --> 02:15:14,297 equitable to you Now I 3654 02:15:14,297 --> 02:15:15,310 appreciate your concern and 3655 02:15:15,310 --> 02:15:17,800 bringing that to our attention. 3656 02:15:17,800 --> 02:15:18,467 The committee focuses on 3657 02:15:18,467 --> 02:15:19,168 the scoring matrix and again 3658 02:15:19,168 --> 02:15:22,168 sites that have higher revenue 3659 02:15:22,771 --> 02:15:23,506 fund balances I'm sorry 3660 02:15:23,506 --> 02:15:25,906 Recreation Center fund balances 3661 02:15:26,943 --> 02:15:27,643 have more funding available to 3662 02:15:27,643 --> 02:15:30,643 put towards programing So when 3663 02:15:31,147 --> 02:15:31,881 they set a baseline of $85,000 3664 02:15:31,881 --> 02:15:32,515 as a budget for a recreation 3665 02:15:32,515 --> 02:15:34,915 center fund, those were 3666 02:15:36,651 --> 02:15:37,286 the sites that had a fund 3667 02:15:37,286 --> 02:15:40,286 balance less than 84th out 3668 02:15:41,123 --> 02:15:42,910 $85,000 excuse me. 3669 02:15:42,910 --> 02:15:45,561 So per se it was not a council 3670 02:15:45,561 --> 02:15:46,395 district focused decision. 3671 02:15:46,395 --> 02:15:46,963 It was based on the available 3672 02:15:46,963 --> 02:15:49,363 funding they had got. 3673 02:15:50,600 --> 02:15:51,267 You All of these are 3674 02:15:51,267 --> 02:15:52,100 communities of concern that 3675 02:15:52,100 --> 02:15:55,100 we're talking about and they're 3676 02:15:55,405 --> 02:15:56,720 not being treated equitable And 3677 02:15:56,720 --> 02:15:56,338 that's why I'm bringing this 3678 02:15:56,338 --> 02:15:57,730 up. 3679 02:15:57,730 --> 02:16:00,730 It's not fair that my 3680 02:16:00,210 --> 02:16:00,943 communities continue to be left 3681 02:16:00,943 --> 02:16:01,477 behind yet again when there are 3682 02:16:01,477 --> 02:16:03,477 programs such as 3683 02:16:05,181 --> 02:16:08,181 the opportunity Fund to help 3684 02:16:09,252 --> 02:16:09,585 get equity back a park and rec 3685 02:16:09,585 --> 02:16:10,420 . 3686 02:16:10,420 --> 02:16:12,820 So you're saying that 3687 02:16:13,189 --> 02:16:13,957 the reason that District eight 3688 02:16:13,957 --> 02:16:16,957 did not receive funds is 3689 02:16:18,494 --> 02:16:21,494 because it's fund balance in 3690 02:16:22,565 --> 02:16:22,932 each park and rec was not 3691 02:16:22,932 --> 02:16:23,733 expended? 3692 02:16:23,733 --> 02:16:26,733 >> Why are these parks in 3693 02:16:26,870 --> 02:16:27,303 District eight not spending 3694 02:16:27,303 --> 02:16:27,904 their funding? 3695 02:16:27,904 --> 02:16:28,271 >> Yeah, that's a great 3696 02:16:28,271 --> 02:16:30,271 question. 3697 02:16:31,741 --> 02:16:32,442 As I mentioned earlier we have 3698 02:16:32,442 --> 02:16:33,175 multiple funding sources that 3699 02:16:33,175 --> 02:16:36,175 are supporting the expansion of 3700 02:16:36,412 --> 02:16:37,800 equitable programing across our 3701 02:16:37,800 --> 02:16:39,800 underserved communities and 3702 02:16:40,517 --> 02:16:41,250 that includes the 2.1 million 3703 02:16:41,250 --> 02:16:44,420 we just discussed and come play 3704 02:16:44,420 --> 02:16:45,154 outside funding which about 1.8 3705 02:16:45,154 --> 02:16:45,655 million came from the San Diego 3706 02:16:45,655 --> 02:16:47,655 Parks Foundation. 3707 02:16:49,920 --> 02:16:49,792 And so we've seen a growth in 3708 02:16:49,792 --> 02:16:50,493 our fund balances across a lot 3709 02:16:50,493 --> 02:16:52,893 of the underserved communities 3710 02:16:53,896 --> 02:16:54,497 because the San Diego parks 3711 02:16:54,497 --> 02:16:55,164 Foundation has began to 3712 02:16:55,164 --> 02:16:58,164 contribute and pour so much 3713 02:16:58,468 --> 02:16:59,102 funding into supporting a lot 3714 02:16:59,102 --> 02:16:59,702 of the primary programing 3715 02:16:59,702 --> 02:17:00,103 that's going on at these 3716 02:17:00,103 --> 02:17:02,103 facilities. 3717 02:17:03,873 --> 02:17:04,541 So because Parks After Dark was 3718 02:17:04,541 --> 02:17:05,800 out Silver Wing they did not 3719 02:17:05,800 --> 02:17:07,800 receive funding. 3720 02:17:08,511 --> 02:17:09,279 That's what you're telling me. 3721 02:17:09,279 --> 02:17:12,279 They do have grant funding 3722 02:17:13,830 --> 02:17:13,783 source as well as funding from 3723 02:17:13,783 --> 02:17:14,384 the San Diego Parks Foundation 3724 02:17:14,384 --> 02:17:15,180 that help support their 3725 02:17:15,180 --> 02:17:16,486 programs such as their day 3726 02:17:16,486 --> 02:17:19,486 camps, their nature camps as 3727 02:17:21,758 --> 02:17:22,425 well as their enhanced programs 3728 02:17:22,425 --> 02:17:22,892 and services that are being 3729 02:17:22,892 --> 02:17:24,892 offered as well. 3730 02:17:27,364 --> 02:17:28,640 I also heard yourself say that 3731 02:17:28,640 --> 02:17:31,640 there's fund balances that are 3732 02:17:31,835 --> 02:17:32,435 not being expended which to me 3733 02:17:32,435 --> 02:17:34,435 was absolutely shocking. 3734 02:17:36,273 --> 02:17:36,973 That was extremely shocking. 3735 02:17:36,973 --> 02:17:37,573 Montgomery Waller, also known 3736 02:17:37,573 --> 02:17:40,573 as Lucky Waller has been 3737 02:17:41,311 --> 02:17:41,878 requesting a scoreboard for 3738 02:17:41,878 --> 02:17:42,679 their baseball field. 3739 02:17:42,679 --> 02:17:45,782 Lucky Waller has a very long 3740 02:17:45,782 --> 02:17:46,550 history. 3741 02:17:46,550 --> 02:17:47,150 It was the first baseball 3742 02:17:47,150 --> 02:17:50,150 league in the South Bay. 3743 02:17:51,880 --> 02:17:54,880 They contacted my office and 3744 02:17:54,124 --> 02:17:54,891 there's an invoice of $34,000 3745 02:17:54,891 --> 02:17:58,491 that they sent to me regarding 3746 02:17:58,762 --> 02:18:00,762 their scoreboard. 3747 02:18:02,732 --> 02:18:03,500 Montgomery Waller has a total 3748 02:18:03,500 --> 02:18:04,368 of $302,000 And once again I 3749 02:18:04,368 --> 02:18:07,968 ask why was this funding not 3750 02:18:08,710 --> 02:18:08,739 expended Memorial at Memorial 3751 02:18:08,739 --> 02:18:11,739 Park the San Diego American 3752 02:18:12,909 --> 02:18:13,577 Memorial Little League can't 3753 02:18:13,577 --> 02:18:15,977 play baseball because their 3754 02:18:18,148 --> 02:18:18,815 their field isn't leveled and 3755 02:18:18,815 --> 02:18:21,215 bleachers and dugouts don't 3756 02:18:23,921 --> 02:18:24,488 have covers And yet I'm being 3757 02:18:24,488 --> 02:18:25,188 told that they're not. 3758 02:18:25,188 --> 02:18:28,225 These park and RECs are not 3759 02:18:28,225 --> 02:18:28,926 expending their funds So that 3760 02:18:28,926 --> 02:18:32,526 to me is just mind boggling. 3761 02:18:32,963 --> 02:18:33,664 I hear you when you say that 3762 02:18:33,664 --> 02:18:34,331 there are other funds that are 3763 02:18:34,331 --> 02:18:37,331 being received in these park 3764 02:18:37,900 --> 02:18:38,501 and rec facilities but I don't 3765 02:18:38,501 --> 02:18:39,102 think that should be a 3766 02:18:39,102 --> 02:18:41,102 deterrent for spending 3767 02:18:42,773 --> 02:18:43,340 opportunity funds in this 3768 02:18:43,340 --> 02:18:43,941 community In the in my 3769 02:18:43,941 --> 02:18:45,941 community for instance, 3770 02:18:47,945 --> 02:18:48,811 oftentimes we have been left 3771 02:18:48,811 --> 02:18:52,411 behind for many years in many 3772 02:18:52,983 --> 02:18:53,684 administrations and it's going 3773 02:18:53,684 --> 02:18:54,351 to take a lot it's going to 3774 02:18:54,351 --> 02:18:57,351 take more funding and it's 3775 02:18:57,821 --> 02:18:58,221 going to take more focus and 3776 02:18:58,221 --> 02:18:58,889 more money. 3777 02:18:58,889 --> 02:18:59,590 And I've shared with my 3778 02:18:59,590 --> 02:19:02,259 colleagues that it's going to 3779 02:19:02,259 --> 02:19:02,960 take more money for us to get 3780 02:19:02,960 --> 02:19:05,596 back on the same track to have 3781 02:19:05,596 --> 02:19:06,563 programing as other communities 3782 02:19:06,563 --> 02:19:09,563 ,as other park and rec 3783 02:19:10,801 --> 02:19:11,668 communities. 3784 02:19:11,668 --> 02:19:12,169 >> Did you guys know about 3785 02:19:12,169 --> 02:19:14,169 the Little League? 3786 02:19:15,639 --> 02:19:18,390 Montgomery Waller requesting a 3787 02:19:20,477 --> 02:19:24,770 a scoreboard at the tune of 3788 02:19:24,515 --> 02:19:25,215 $34,000 and with a $300,000 3789 02:19:25,215 --> 02:19:25,483 budget why was that not spent 3790 02:19:25,483 --> 02:19:27,483 out? 3791 02:19:29,852 --> 02:19:30,588 I unfortunately just learned of 3792 02:19:30,588 --> 02:19:31,288 that in the recent weeks and we 3793 02:19:31,288 --> 02:19:33,688 prepared these budgets several 3794 02:19:34,458 --> 02:19:35,326 months ago. 3795 02:19:35,326 --> 02:19:35,926 So this is definitely something 3796 02:19:35,926 --> 02:19:36,627 we can consider for use 3797 02:19:36,627 --> 02:19:39,530 the Montgomery Waller funds to 3798 02:19:39,530 --> 02:19:40,130 support that scoreboard And I 3799 02:19:40,130 --> 02:19:40,831 just think that the way 3800 02:19:40,831 --> 02:19:44,401 the process the way that this 3801 02:19:44,401 --> 02:19:44,768 is being handled is not 3802 02:19:44,768 --> 02:19:45,469 equitable. 3803 02:19:45,469 --> 02:19:48,469 I haven't gotten a good 3804 02:19:49,540 --> 02:19:50,207 explanation as to why 3805 02:19:50,207 --> 02:19:52,607 opportunity funds are being 3806 02:19:54,110 --> 02:19:54,779 expended at such a I don't I 3807 02:19:54,779 --> 02:19:55,579 can't do math as fast as I 3808 02:19:55,579 --> 02:19:58,579 could speak And the percentage 3809 02:19:59,183 --> 02:20:00,500 that District aid is receiving 3810 02:20:00,500 --> 02:20:03,487 in an opportunity funds is just 3811 02:20:03,487 --> 02:20:04,188 I would be doing a disservice 3812 02:20:04,188 --> 02:20:07,788 to my constituents if I didn't 3813 02:20:08,125 --> 02:20:08,626 stand up and say I'm not going 3814 02:20:08,626 --> 02:20:09,226 to vote for this. 3815 02:20:09,226 --> 02:20:09,593 This is absolutely not 3816 02:20:09,593 --> 02:20:11,593 equitable. 3817 02:20:12,696 --> 02:20:13,431 This is not what the intention 3818 02:20:13,431 --> 02:20:14,198 was for these opportunity funds 3819 02:20:14,198 --> 02:20:17,401 And I would call to question 3820 02:20:17,401 --> 02:20:18,169 the committee that is being 3821 02:20:18,169 --> 02:20:21,169 formed and how they're choosing 3822 02:20:23,730 --> 02:20:23,807 oftentimes I understand this is 3823 02:20:23,807 --> 02:20:26,911 the process but I will tell you 3824 02:20:26,911 --> 02:20:27,578 on the record this process is 3825 02:20:27,578 --> 02:20:29,578 absolutely flawed especially 3826 02:20:32,150 --> 02:20:32,683 when a council member knows 3827 02:20:32,683 --> 02:20:33,350 more about what the communit 3828 02:20:33,350 --> 02:20:36,950 what the park and rec needs 3829 02:20:37,121 --> 02:20:38,156 than what the director needs. 3830 02:20:38,156 --> 02:20:41,756 That to me is just it's 3831 02:20:51,335 --> 02:20:54,335 shocking My my residents would 3832 02:20:55,840 --> 02:20:56,540 greatly appreciate for their 3833 02:20:56,540 --> 02:20:58,940 funding allocations to their 3834 02:20:59,744 --> 02:21:00,344 park and RECs and District 3835 02:21:00,344 --> 02:21:01,120 eight so residents in my 3836 02:21:01,120 --> 02:21:04,120 community are able to enjoy 3837 02:21:04,449 --> 02:21:05,182 much more quality programing in 3838 02:21:05,182 --> 02:21:07,582 parks near their neighborhoods. 3839 02:21:08,986 --> 02:21:09,887 We don't want to drive past 3840 02:21:09,887 --> 02:21:13,487 the 94 We don't we don't want 3841 02:21:14,492 --> 02:21:15,193 to go and have a movie you know 3842 02:21:15,193 --> 02:21:18,496 to go have any type of 3843 02:21:18,496 --> 02:21:19,196 programing to have oil painting 3844 02:21:19,196 --> 02:21:22,196 or whatever the cases I 3845 02:21:23,634 --> 02:21:24,268 strongly disagree with 3846 02:21:24,268 --> 02:21:26,771 the decision that has been 3847 02:21:26,771 --> 02:21:27,438 presented because District 3848 02:21:27,438 --> 02:21:28,139 eight deserves way more than 3849 02:21:28,139 --> 02:21:28,840 what the city of San Diego is 3850 02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,840 giving it with the opportunity 3851 02:21:32,277 --> 02:21:33,110 funds And I would urge my 3852 02:21:33,110 --> 02:21:35,246 colleagues to send this back to 3853 02:21:35,246 --> 02:21:40,460 staff and to fix this So it's a 3854 02:21:40,718 --> 02:21:41,452 more equitable it's more 3855 02:21:41,452 --> 02:21:41,819 equitable the District eight So 3856 02:21:41,819 --> 02:21:43,819 thank you. 3857 02:21:45,390 --> 02:21:46,560 COUNCILMAN Moreno, before you 3858 02:21:46,560 --> 02:21:46,724 wrapped your comments, Andy 3859 02:21:46,724 --> 02:21:49,961 Fields on the line you might 3860 02:21:49,961 --> 02:21:50,595 want to hear his comments and 3861 02:21:50,595 --> 02:21:53,595 then respond and thank you 3862 02:21:54,432 --> 02:21:55,166 Council PRESIDENT And thank you 3863 02:21:55,166 --> 02:21:55,700 COUNCILMAN Moreno for your very 3864 02:21:55,700 --> 02:21:57,700 important comments. 3865 02:21:59,270 --> 02:21:59,838 Yes, our department is aware of 3866 02:21:59,838 --> 02:22:00,538 the issues that you've 3867 02:22:00,538 --> 02:22:03,538 described both at Memorial and 3868 02:22:04,142 --> 02:22:04,809 at Lucky Waller. 3869 02:22:04,809 --> 02:22:05,510 We've been working with 3870 02:22:05,510 --> 02:22:06,211 the Memorial Little League in 3871 02:22:06,211 --> 02:22:06,778 fact on that very scoreboard. 3872 02:22:06,778 --> 02:22:09,178 The main problem with 3873 02:22:09,280 --> 02:22:09,981 the scoreboard is that 3874 02:22:09,981 --> 02:22:12,981 the scoreboard itself lacks a 3875 02:22:13,751 --> 02:22:14,252 ability to use your cell phone 3876 02:22:14,252 --> 02:22:14,985 to activate it. 3877 02:22:14,985 --> 02:22:15,653 So one of the things working 3878 02:22:15,653 --> 02:22:18,356 with the Little League on is 3879 02:22:18,356 --> 02:22:19,390 how we can get that corrected. 3880 02:22:19,390 --> 02:22:20,240 We don't know if it's a full on 3881 02:22:20,240 --> 02:22:20,625 replacement of the entire 3882 02:22:20,625 --> 02:22:23,250 scoreboard but we're in 3883 02:22:24,950 --> 02:22:24,796 the process of determining that 3884 02:22:24,796 --> 02:22:25,497 now and that's where we think 3885 02:22:25,497 --> 02:22:29,670 some of the fun balance that's 3886 02:22:29,670 --> 02:22:29,667 available with Memorial be very 3887 02:22:29,667 --> 02:22:30,680 helpful to achieve that 3888 02:22:30,680 --> 02:22:30,769 replacement. 3889 02:22:30,769 --> 02:22:34,171 So we are actively working on 3890 02:22:34,171 --> 02:22:34,839 that as well And Lucky Waller, 3891 02:22:34,839 --> 02:22:37,239 we understand those concerns 3892 02:22:38,710 --> 02:22:39,411 and what a significant piece of 3893 02:22:39,411 --> 02:22:40,145 the action there is is that we 3894 02:22:40,145 --> 02:22:43,145 need to actually establish some 3895 02:22:43,681 --> 02:22:44,215 capital projects to address 3896 02:22:44,215 --> 02:22:44,949 various issues with 3897 02:22:44,949 --> 02:22:47,949 the existing lighting system as 3898 02:22:48,186 --> 02:22:48,854 well as addressing the area 3899 02:22:48,854 --> 02:22:51,254 around the recreation center 3900 02:22:53,592 --> 02:22:54,559 including the play areas. 3901 02:22:54,559 --> 02:22:58,759 So we are aware of those issues 3902 02:22:58,997 --> 02:22:59,864 to the recreation center funds 3903 02:22:59,864 --> 02:23:00,498 are continuing to be an area of 3904 02:23:00,498 --> 02:23:03,498 resource for us to address 3905 02:23:04,335 --> 02:23:05,700 these long needed repairs. 3906 02:23:05,700 --> 02:23:05,637 You're absolutely right about 3907 02:23:05,637 --> 02:23:06,337 that and you have our 3908 02:23:06,337 --> 02:23:09,937 commitment to will do what we 3909 02:23:10,750 --> 02:23:10,842 can to spend those moneys down 3910 02:23:10,842 --> 02:23:11,543 so that we can be very much 3911 02:23:11,543 --> 02:23:13,943 more in line with 3912 02:23:15,147 --> 02:23:15,881 the methodology. 3913 02:23:15,881 --> 02:23:16,414 Now question was raised earlier 3914 02:23:16,414 --> 02:23:16,982 about who serves on 3915 02:23:16,982 --> 02:23:19,382 the committee and what 3916 02:23:20,510 --> 02:23:20,819 the committee methodology is. 3917 02:23:20,819 --> 02:23:21,520 The methodology is truly based 3918 02:23:21,520 --> 02:23:25,230 on how much money is available 3919 02:23:25,230 --> 02:23:25,724 to spend in each of 3920 02:23:25,724 --> 02:23:26,424 the different communities that 3921 02:23:26,424 --> 02:23:27,920 are historically underserved. 3922 02:23:27,920 --> 02:23:30,920 It just happens There's been 3923 02:23:30,328 --> 02:23:30,996 more money that's been 3924 02:23:30,996 --> 02:23:31,696 accumulated in the District 3925 02:23:31,696 --> 02:23:34,960 eight locations when compared 3926 02:23:35,400 --> 02:23:36,134 to the others but that's also 3927 02:23:36,134 --> 02:23:36,868 part of a long term trajectory 3928 02:23:36,868 --> 02:23:39,868 to push the opportunity Fund 3929 02:23:41,306 --> 02:23:42,107 into all of the areas and get 3930 02:23:42,107 --> 02:23:45,777 all of them up to where they 3931 02:23:45,777 --> 02:23:46,478 can actually achieve some of 3932 02:23:46,478 --> 02:23:47,790 the very outcomes that you're 3933 02:23:47,790 --> 02:23:47,779 seeking to achieve here. 3934 02:23:47,779 --> 02:23:51,149 So please know that we're all 3935 02:23:51,149 --> 02:23:52,170 in as far as trying to address 3936 02:23:52,170 --> 02:23:52,284 this and to fix this as best we 3937 02:23:52,284 -->

02:30:31,916 Councilmember And so I think 4145 02:30:33,921 --> 02:30:34,588 the task for Parks and Rec is 4146 02:30:34,588 --> 02:30:35,255 to figure out what our work 4147 02:30:35,255 --> 02:30:35,956 plan is to get these dollars 4148 02:30:35,956 --> 02:30:40,156 out quickly so we don't end up 4149 02:30:40,728 --> 02:30:41,262 in the same situation next year 4150 02:30:41,262 --> 02:30:41,962 where you don't get 4151 02:30:41,962 --> 02:30:42,696 the opportunity funds because 4152 02:30:42,696 --> 02:30:43,431 you have too much fund balance. 4153 02:30:43,431 --> 02:30:46,670 So it looks great on paper that 4154 02:30:46,670 --> 02:30:46,701 you're walking it out by 28 4155 02:30:46,701 --> 02:30:47,340 next year with a high fund 4156 02:30:47,340 --> 02:30:47,702 balance. 4157 02:30:47,702 --> 02:30:48,302 But what does that actually 4158 02:30:48,302 --> 02:30:50,702 mean for your residents? 4159 02:30:51,772 --> 02:30:52,474 And so I think the task for 4160 02:30:52,474 --> 02:30:53,207 Parks and Rec maybe prior to 4161 02:30:53,207 --> 02:30:53,874 the start of the fiscal year is 4162 02:30:53,874 --> 02:30:56,874 what the financing and work 4163 02:30:57,177 --> 02:30:57,511 plan is for each of the rec 4164 02:30:57,511 --> 02:30:58,312 centers. 4165 02:30:58,312 --> 02:30:59,130 I think you have 7 or 8 in your 4166 02:30:59,130 --> 02:31:02,613 in your district on how to 4167 02:31:03,617 --> 02:31:04,218 spend those dollars down and 4168 02:31:04,218 --> 02:31:04,952 what the programing and 4169 02:31:04,952 --> 02:31:05,619 activities look like for so you 4170 02:31:05,619 --> 02:31:08,619 can communicate them out to 4171 02:31:10,658 --> 02:31:11,359 your residents a pen to paper 4172 02:31:11,359 --> 02:31:12,930 get the dollars out the door. 4173 02:31:12,930 --> 02:31:12,426 I want to say one more question 4174 02:31:12,426 --> 02:31:12,727 on that. 4175 02:31:12,727 --> 02:31:14,727 Right. 4176 02:31:15,596 --> 02:31:16,264 There's a communication piece 4177 02:31:16,264 --> 02:31:19,864 of this as well Whether it's 4178 02:31:21,235 --> 02:31:21,936 whatever district is is is 4179 02:31:21,936 --> 02:31:23,936 benefiting from opportunity 4180 02:31:26,941 --> 02:31:27,642 fund resources If if they're 4181 02:31:27,642 --> 02:31:28,476 not getting out for one reason 4182 02:31:28,476 --> 02:31:32,760 or another, we need to know 4183 02:31:33,114 --> 02:31:33,781 that because it allows us 4184 02:31:33,781 --> 02:31:36,781 the opportunity to work with 4185 02:31:38,919 --> 02:31:39,620 you to say well here are a 4186 02:31:39,620 --> 02:31:40,654 whole I would I would imagine 4187 02:31:40,654 --> 02:31:44,459 that if you asked any of us on 4188 02:31:44,459 --> 02:31:45,126 the dais ways to get dollars 4189 02:31:45,126 --> 02:31:48,126 out the door for opportunity 4190 02:31:50,398 --> 02:31:51,298 fund eligible expenses we could 4191 02:31:51,298 --> 02:31:51,966 come up with a long list very 4192 02:31:51,966 --> 02:31:54,966 quickly to long list pretty 4193 02:31:56,604 --> 02:31:57,304 quickly but we can't do that if 4194 02:31:57,304 --> 02:31:57,805 we don't know that that's that 4195 02:31:57,805 --> 02:31:58,539 that's happening. 4196 02:31:58,539 --> 02:32:01,539 And so that communication piece 4197 02:32:02,100 --> 02:32:04,410 is just incredibly important. 4198 02:32:07,815 --> 02:32:08,616 So I will ask it in the future 4199 02:32:08,616 --> 02:32:09,217 if this issue is arising much 4200 02:32:09,217 --> 02:32:11,617 sooner rather than later 4201 02:32:16,257 --> 02:32:16,924 because the last thing it 4202 02:32:16,924 --> 02:32:17,525 should be doing is impacting 4203 02:32:17,525 --> 02:32:18,226 scoring in the next year 4204 02:32:18,226 --> 02:32:20,428 because to to remembering this 4205 02:32:20,428 --> 02:32:21,940 point that does start it like 4206 02:32:21,940 --> 02:32:23,494 pushes an inequitable domino 4207 02:32:26,568 --> 02:32:27,134 forward and are producing 4208 02:32:27,134 --> 02:32:27,836 inequitable results in 4209 02:32:27,836 --> 02:32:28,503 the ground for a program that 4210 02:32:28,503 --> 02:32:32,103 was designed to do the exact 4211 02:32:32,807 --> 02:32:33,341 opposite Thank you counsel 4212 02:32:33,341 --> 02:32:33,875 PRESIDENT All right. 4213 02:32:33,875 --> 02:32:34,575 >> Thank you, sir. 4214 02:32:34,575 --> 02:32:35,760 We'll go back to Councilmember 4215 02:32:35,760 --> 02:32:37,760 Moreno Thank you. 4216 02:32:38,679 --> 02:32:39,380 I would ask staff to go back 4217 02:32:39,380 --> 02:32:42,380 with this opportunity fund and 4218 02:32:44,452 --> 02:32:45,200 find a more equitable way to 4219 02:32:45,200 --> 02:32:45,687 disburse the funding. 4220 02:32:45,687 --> 02:32:46,287 That is a request I'm making 4221 02:32:46,287 --> 02:32:49,557 and it was brought to my 4222 02:32:49,557 --> 02:32:50,291 attention as we were doing 4223 02:32:50,291 --> 02:32:50,992 the proclamations by the Cooper 4224 02:32:50,992 --> 02:32:53,992 family that staff at Memorial 4225 02:32:56,498 --> 02:32:57,231 is not allowing them to hook up 4226 02:32:57,231 --> 02:33:00,831 to water and or and electricity 4227 02:33:03,138 --> 02:33:03,905 for a free bubble machine. 4228 02:33:03,905 --> 02:33:06,905 We have $1.2 million sitting in 4229 02:33:09,376 --> 02:33:10,790 dea coffers that just it's just 4230 02:33:10,790 --> 02:33:13,679 the math is not happening And 4231 02:33:14,383 --> 02:33:15,283 so that would be my request is 4232 02:33:15,283 --> 02:33:15,951 I think we have one more what 4233 02:33:15,951 --> 02:33:18,951 next week's meeting and that 4234 02:33:20,489 --> 02:33:21,189 this be brought back and that 4235 02:33:21,189 --> 02:33:21,890 the committee find a way their 4236 02:33:21,890 --> 02:33:25,490 city staff right and they work 4237 02:33:26,595 --> 02:33:27,295 for you we could politely ask 4238 02:33:27,295 --> 02:33:27,895 them to come together and find 4239 02:33:27,895 --> 02:33:28,597 a more equitable way to 4240 02:33:28,597 --> 02:33:30,997 disperse to opportunity funds. 4241 02:33:33,468 --> 02:33:34,236 Thank you. 4242 02:33:34,236 --> 02:33:35,103 Thank you Council member I'll 4243 02:33:35,103 --> 02:33:38,240 go back now Go to Councilmember 4244 02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:38,807 Foster. 4245 02:33:38,807 --> 02:33:39,574 >> Yes, thank you. 4246 02:33:39,574 --> 02:33:43,174 I'm council PRESIDENT And I do 4247 02:33:43,445 --> 02:33:44,112 appreciate my colleagues 4248 02:33:44,112 --> 02:33:47,112 comments and concerns but I 4249 02:33:50,252 --> 02:33:50,919 also do understand fund balance 4250 02:33:50,919 --> 02:33:53,919 and continuing to to receive 4251 02:33:56,591 --> 02:33:57,159 funds where we are not 4252 02:33:57,159 --> 02:33:59,159 deploying state funds. 4253 02:34:02,960 --> 02:34:02,797 And so I think what would 4254 02:34:02,797 --> 02:34:06,397 really be I think the main 4255 02:34:08,237 --> 02:34:08,937 cause of the heartburn is why 4256 02:34:08,937 --> 02:34:12,537 are we not expending funds and 4257 02:34:14,900 --> 02:34:14,843 having an acceptable response 4258 02:34:14,843 --> 02:34:15,544 to that Because the purpose of 4259 02:34:15,544 --> 02:34:16,111 establishing this opportunity 4260 02:34:16,111 --> 02:34:19,111 fund was to make sure 4261 02:34:21,830 --> 02:34:21,783 communities were able to 4262 02:34:21,783 --> 02:34:24,783 program and have the resources 4263 02:34:26,722 --> 02:34:27,122 and utilize the facilities for 4264 02:34:27,122 --> 02:34:27,855 their needs. 4265 02:34:27,855 --> 02:34:28,724 >> And so I think number one, 4266 02:34:28,724 --> 02:34:32,694 we need to make sure that we 4267 02:34:32,694 --> 02:34:33,295 answer that question What is 4268 02:34:33,295 --> 02:34:33,929 the plan moving forward? 4269 02:34:33,929 --> 02:34:34,563 How are we going to expend 4270 02:34:34,563 --> 02:34:38,163 those funds and how we are 4271 02:34:38,667 --> 02:34:39,368 going to have the appropriate 4272 02:34:39,368 --> 02:34:41,768 timeline associated with that? 4273 02:34:44,606 --> 02:34:45,207 And I think that's really at 4274 02:34:45,207 --> 02:34:45,874 the heart of what she is 4275 02:34:45,874 --> 02:34:48,274 indicating because if we're 4276 02:34:50,612 --> 02:34:51,379 just want to leave fund value, 4277 02:34:51,379 --> 02:34:52,140 if we're just going to leave on 4278 02:34:52,140 --> 02:34:55,140 balances, no one will get 4279 02:34:56,719 --> 02:34:57,419 the benefit of and the intent 4280 02:34:57,419 --> 02:34:57,686 of what the opportunity fund 4281 02:34:57,686 --> 02:34:58,487 is. 4282 02:34:58,487 --> 02:35:02,687 So I think I would request that 4283 02:35:02,758 --> 02:35:03,394 as we move forward and just 4284 02:35:03,394 --> 02:35:04,930 even as we appreciate what 4285 02:35:04,930 --> 02:35:04,760 comes back or potentially what 4286 02:35:04,760 --> 02:35:08,360 could come back, I think we 4287 02:35:08,864 --> 02:35:09,565 need to put this in as part of 4288 02:35:09,565 --> 02:35:10,299 our budget monitoring process 4289 02:35:10,299 --> 02:35:12,699 and highlight this specifically 4290 02:35:14,470 --> 02:35:15,203 because even with District four 4291 02:35:15,203 --> 02:35:15,604 we have a big uncertainty on 4292 02:35:15,604 --> 02:35:17,604 hud funding. 4293 02:35:20,142 --> 02:35:20,910 Right to say hey, we don't even 4294 02:35:20,910 --> 02:35:21,743 know if we MAY get it. 4295 02:35:21,743 --> 02:35:22,645 It MAY get both x, y and z. 4296 02:35:22,645 --> 02:35:25,681 So I think this uncertainty and 4297 02:35:25,681 --> 02:35:26,315 again I'll go back to 4298 02:35:26,315 --> 02:35:27,160 the federal level that is 4299 02:35:27,160 --> 02:35:30,616 creating a lot of the concern 4300 02:35:31,687 --> 02:35:31,987 and issues that we are falling 4301 02:35:31,987 --> 02:35:32,755 into. 4302 02:35:32,755 --> 02:35:33,355 And so I think if we can put 4303 02:35:33,355 --> 02:35:34,560 this into our monitoring 4304 02:35:34,560 --> 02:35:37,560 process and highlight this to 4305 02:35:38,227 --> 02:35:38,960 make sure that we are truly 4306 02:35:38,960 --> 02:35:39,628 meeting the intent that we can. 4307 02:35:39,628 --> 02:35:43,632 I would also ask the ipa, I 4308 02:35:43,632 --> 02:35:44,266 think the ipa should kind of 4309 02:35:44,266 --> 02:35:44,934 use the if we can utilize 4310 02:35:44,934 --> 02:35:47,934 the Department of Race and 4311 02:35:49,472 --> 02:35:50,138 Equity to further dive into 4312 02:35:50,138 --> 02:35:50,940 this to look at the concerns 4313 02:35:50,940 --> 02:35:54,540 that were brought up in regards 4314 02:35:56,645 --> 02:35:57,380 to panel of this elections. 4315 02:35:57,380 --> 02:36:01,580 What's on the table is we are 4316 02:36:01,617 --> 02:36:02,251 looking at in having these 4317 02:36:02,251 --> 02:36:02,785 discussions and looking to 4318 02:36:02,785 --> 02:36:04,785 allocate the dollars 4319 02:36:08,457 --> 02:36:09,225 accordingly I think accordingly 4320 02:36:09,225 --> 02:36:09,925 I think if we can utilize 4321 02:36:09,925 --> 02:36:10,793 the office of the idea as well 4322 02:36:10,793 --> 02:36:13,663 to be a part of this and to 4323 02:36:13,663 --> 02:36:14,295 work with city staff, I think 4324 02:36:14,295 --> 02:36:15,310 we will hopefully see some 4325 02:36:15,310 --> 02:36:18,631 progress and be in a position 4326 02:36:19,468 --> 02:36:20,303 to move things forward. 4327 02:36:20,303 --> 02:36:23,903 My concern of course would be 4328 02:36:25,407 --> 02:36:25,975 just as my colleagues concern 4329 02:36:25,975 --> 02:36:26,342 is we have the dollars 4330 02:36:26,342 --> 02:36:26,976 allocated. 4331 02:36:26,976 --> 02:36:27,643 We went through our budget 4332 02:36:27,643 --> 02:36:30,430 discussions but making sure 4333 02:36:31,280 --> 02:36:31,981 that we get these dollars 4334 02:36:31,981 --> 02:36:34,381 allocated and deployed without 4335 02:36:37,653 --> 02:36:38,454 any further delay as a whole. 4336 02:36:38,454 --> 02:36:42,654 So I think that's my my desire. 4337 02:36:44,930 --> 02:36:44,760 I don't mind, you know, if we 4338 02:36:44,760 --> 02:36:45,128 are going to bring this back 4339 02:36:45,128 --> 02:36:47,128 next week. 4340 02:36:49,198 --> 02:36:50,980 Council PRESIDENT I think that 4341 02:36:50,980 --> 02:36:50,766 would be your call is you do 4342 02:36:50,766 --> 02:36:54,366 run the docket but I think 4343 02:36:56,139 --> 02:36:56,839 the main question that needs to 4344 02:36:56,839 --> 02:36:57,439 be answered is how are you 4345 02:36:57,439 --> 02:36:58,140 going to deploy the fund 4346 02:36:58,140 --> 02:37:01,140 balance that has been sitting 4347 02:37:01,778 --> 02:37:02,377 in I don't know almost always 4348 02:37:02,377 --> 02:37:03,460 been sitting for Right. 4349 02:37:03,460 --> 02:37:06,646 Which I which I would agree 4350 02:37:08,517 --> 02:37:09,285 That is very, very difficult to 4351 02:37:09,285 --> 02:37:10,153 take if we are not moving those 4352 02:37:10,153 --> 02:37:13,753 funds and if there are issues 4353 02:37:13,756 --> 02:37:16,156 just even conveying conveying 4354 02:37:20,163 --> 02:37:20,830 the issues to to the offices so 4355 02:37:20,830 --> 02:37:21,631 that folks are informed they 4356 02:37:21,631 --> 02:37:25,231 can try to help find a 4357 02:37:26,269 --> 02:37:26,970 resolution and know how to 4358 02:37:26,970 --> 02:37:27,270 communicate with constituents. 4359 02:37:27,270 --> 02:37:27,736 Right. 4360 02:37:27,736 --> 02:37:29,736 Those are great. 4361 02:37:32,708 --> 02:37:33,409 Why is it why is it 4362 02:37:33,409 --> 02:37:34,100 the councilmembers obligation 4363 02:37:34,100 --> 02:37:34,711 to go out and explain to 4364 02:37:34,711 --> 02:37:37,711 constituents which she she has 4365 02:37:37,780 --> 02:37:38,114 no sign authority on the fund 4366 02:37:38,114 --> 02:37:38,815 balance? 4367 02:37:38,815 --> 02:37:39,349 She truly hasn't She can't put 4368 02:37:39,349 --> 02:37:40,490 a contract in place. 4369 02:37:40,490 --> 02:37:43,553 You can't there's so much that 4370 02:37:43,553 --> 02:37:44,320 she cannot do but yet she needs 4371 02:37:44,320 --> 02:37:45,210 to go out and explain to her 4372 02:37:45,210 --> 02:37:48,210 constituents why this has been 4373 02:37:48,691 --> 02:37:49,325 sitting for two years or 4374 02:37:49,325 --> 02:37:50,930 whatever that case MAY be. 4375 02:37:50,930 --> 02:37:53,863 So I just think one of those 4376 02:37:53,863 --> 02:37:54,631 things we need to clean up 4377 02:37:54,631 --> 02:37:55,265 operations and make sure we are 4378 02:37:55,265 --> 02:37:55,765 moving forward in meeting 4379 02:37:55,765 --> 02:37:58,165 the intent of what 4380 02:38:01,237 --> 02:38:03,637 the opportunity fund is. 4381 02:38:07,978 --> 02:38:08,845 Charles, do you want to jump in 4382 02:38:08,845 --> 02:38:12,445 before I go to to Councilmember 4383 02:38:13,850 --> 02:38:14,551 Foster's question Correct me if 4384 02:38:14,551 --> 02:38:17,551 I'm wrong the opportunity fine 4385 02:38:18,989 --> 02:38:19,789 If a zero sum then there is x 4386 02:38:19,789 --> 02:38:20,423 number of dollars and going to 4387 02:38:20,423 --> 02:38:20,723 figure out how to allocate 4388 02:38:20,723 --> 02:38:21,391 them. 4389 02:38:21,391 --> 02:38:24,728 So for District eight to get 4390 02:38:24,728 --> 02:38:25,328 more funding district 49 will 4391 02:38:25,328 --> 02:38:26,329 have to give up some. 4392 02:38:26,329 --> 02:38:30,867 So if there is going to be a 4393 02:38:30,867 --> 02:38:31,568 motion to ask for a 4394 02:38:31,568 --> 02:38:32,101 reallocation I want that from 4395 02:38:32,101 --> 02:38:32,535 the council members. 4396 02:38:32,535 --> 02:38:34,535 I want equity. 4397 02:38:38,410 --> 02:38:38,475 I want equity and opportunity 4398 02:38:38,475 --> 02:38:39,750 funds of 2027. 4399 02:38:39,750 --> 02:38:39,743 That's what I'm asking. 4400 02:38:39,743 --> 02:38:40,430 i'm just I figure how we get 4401 02:38:40,430 --> 02:38:42,430 there. 4402 02:38:42,879 --> 02:38:43,780 So District 49 would have to 4403 02:38:43,780 --> 02:38:46,883 give up some money to get a 4404 02:38:46,883 --> 02:38:47,684 bigger allocation for District 4405 02:38:47,684 --> 02:38:51,884 eight So to bring it back for 4406 02:38:53,156 --> 02:38:53,757 that purpose I would need to 4407 02:38:53,757 --> 02:38:54,491 hear from the two of you 4408 02:38:54,491 --> 02:38:55,158 because you're the two that are 4409 02:38:55,158 --> 02:38:58,758 going to be affected by that 4410 02:38:59,229 --> 02:38:59,596 and I hate to have that 4411 02:38:59,596 --> 02:39:00,429 question. 4412 02:39:00,429 --> 02:39:01,398 It is a zero fund so that's how 4413 02:39:01,398 --> 02:39:04,536 you have to puzzle it out And 4414 02:39:04,536 --> 02:39:07,536 I'm sorry Council PRESIDENT But 4415 02:39:10,374 --> 02:39:10,807 if I MAY that that sounds like 4416 02:39:10,807 --> 02:39:11,575 Hunger Games. 4417 02:39:11,575 --> 02:39:14,575 That sounds like you're putting 4418 02:39:16,380 --> 02:39:20,580 us in a position to have a 4419 02:39:22,286 --> 02:39:23,860 conversation amongst ourselves 4420 02:39:23,860 --> 02:39:23,854 where I'll simply put I don't 4421 02:39:23,854 --> 02:39:27,454 have a fund balance that is 4422 02:39:28,492 --> 02:39:29,359 that significant. 4423 02:39:29,359 --> 02:39:33,559 And so I think city staff needs 4424 02:39:34,531 --> 02:39:35,232 to come back and determine how 4425 02:39:35,232 --> 02:39:35,799 they are going to be more 4426 02:39:35,799 --> 02:39:37,799 efficient and resolve 4427 02:39:39,703 --> 02:39:40,871 the outstanding outstanding 4428 02:39:40,871 --> 02:39:45,710 issues and to to take care of 4429 02:39:45,876 --> 02:39:46,743 expanding the dollars. 4430 02:39:46,743 --> 02:39:50,943 I don't I'm not in a position 4431 02:39:51,915 --> 02:39:52,582 to say hey, I'm going to give 4432 02:39:52,582 --> 02:39:53,183 something up where I didn't 4433 02:39:53,183 --> 02:39:55,583 create the situation And 4434 02:39:57,821 --> 02:39:58,655 clearly there's dollars that 4435 02:39:58,655 --> 02:40:02,255 need to be deployed Sounds like 4436 02:40:03,994 --> 02:40:04,861 an operational concern. 4437 02:40:04,861 --> 02:40:08,461 Our acknowledge it was an awful 4438 02:40:10,334 --> 02:40:11,680 thing for me to ask but I'm 4439 02:40:11,680 --> 02:40:12,169 thinking about what can be done 4440 02:40:12,169 --> 02:40:16,507 in a week or two and if I might 4441 02:40:16,507 --> 02:40:17,174 be there's some larger 4442 02:40:17,174 --> 02:40:17,841 questions that I'll speak to 4443 02:40:17,841 --> 02:40:21,441 and perhaps the pro tem will 4444 02:40:22,212 --> 02:40:23,130 speak to but you to know we 4445 02:40:23,130 --> 02:40:23,681 need this done by JULY 1st for 4446 02:40:23,681 --> 02:40:27,281 the start of the new fiscal 4447 02:40:28,118 --> 02:40:28,985 year We can target maybe JUNE 4448 02:40:28,985 --> 02:40:29,652 20th 9th or JUNE 30th by us a 4449 02:40:29,652 --> 02:40:30,253 little bit more time to meet 4450 02:40:30,253 --> 02:40:30,954 both the councilmembers 4451 02:40:30,954 --> 02:40:33,354 concerns and an understanding 4452 02:40:34,325 --> 02:40:35,590 that yes it is zero sum And so 4453 02:40:35,590 --> 02:40:38,659 I think spending more time with 4454 02:40:39,897 --> 02:40:40,564 the other officers that MAY be 4455 02:40:40,564 --> 02:40:41,198 impacted but trying to maybe 4456 02:40:41,198 --> 02:40:41,799 buy us another week to put 4457 02:40:41,799 --> 02:40:42,132 together a more holistic 4458 02:40:42,132 --> 02:40:44,132 package. 4459 02:40:46,770 --> 02:40:47,471 So hopefully talking to the end 4460 02:40:47,471 --> 02:40:48,172 of the month rather than next 4461 02:40:48,172 --> 02:40:48,572 week I think is a better path 4462 02:40:48,572 --> 02:40:48,873 if possible. 4463 02:40:48,873 --> 02:40:50,873 Okay. 4464 02:40:52,810 --> 02:40:53,477 I think what we saw in 4465 02:40:53,477 --> 02:40:54,780 the budget my apologies for 4466 02:40:54,780 --> 02:40:57,780 the program but some of 4467 02:40:57,248 --> 02:40:57,981 the creative thinking in terms 4468 02:40:57,981 --> 02:40:58,581 of legal interpretations about 4469 02:40:58,581 --> 02:40:59,150 funding where we can get 4470 02:40:59,150 --> 02:41:01,550 funding that MAY make 4471 02:41:03,887 --> 02:41:04,288 the conversation a little bit 4472 02:41:04,288 --> 02:41:05,256 easier. 4473 02:41:05,256 --> 02:41:05,889 I do not know if there is any 4474 02:41:05,889 --> 02:41:08,289 opportunity there but for 4475 02:41:10,761 --> 02:41:11,395 everybody But are thinking cap 4476 02:41:11,395 --> 02:41:12,620 thought and look things a 4477 02:41:12,620 --> 02:41:12,763 little bit differently I'll 4478 02:41:12,763 --> 02:41:16,334 have more comments but let me 4479 02:41:16,334 --> 02:41:16,934 go to council PRESIDENT Pro Tem 4480 02:41:16,934 --> 02:41:17,301 Lee Thank you for your 4481 02:41:17,301 --> 02:41:17,901 patience. 4482 02:41:17,901 --> 02:41:20,301 >> Thank you PRESIDENT I 4483 02:41:22,340 --> 02:41:23,400 actually I thank you customer 4484 02:41:23,400 --> 02:41:23,708 Marina for bringing this topic 4485 02:41:23,708 --> 02:41:24,442 off of consent to have this 4486 02:41:24,442 --> 02:41:27,278 discussion because I think it's 4487 02:41:27,278 --> 02:41:27,878 easy for us to see these come 4488 02:41:27,878 --> 02:41:28,446 and go each year without 4489 02:41:28,446 --> 02:41:30,446 actually looking into 4490 02:41:34,518 --> 02:41:35,186 the specifics and Councilmember 4491 02:41:35,186 --> 02:41:35,852 Foster's point I understand 4492 02:41:35,852 --> 02:41:36,721 that I think one gets this a 4493 02:41:36,721 --> 02:41:39,290 zero sum game So at the end of 4494 02:41:39,290 --> 02:41:39,891 day there's only a limited 4495 02:41:39,891 --> 02:41:40,524 number of funds that are 4496 02:41:40,524 --> 02:41:40,825 allocated into opportunity 4497 02:41:40,825 --> 02:41:42,825 funds. 4498 02:41:44,462 --> 02:41:45,229 But I think the feedback that's 4499 02:41:45,229 --> 02:41:46,130 coming back isn't who needs to 4500 02:41:46,130 --> 02:41:50,330 give up what it's that the if 4501 02:41:51,335 --> 02:41:52,360 the calculations based off of 4502 02:41:52,360 --> 02:41:52,737 something that's off to begin 4503 02:41:52,737 --> 02:41:53,403 with then the problem is only 4504 02:41:53,403 --> 02:41:57,300 what it is because it's now 4505 02:41:58,900 --> 02:41:58,709 been identified or if it was 4506 02:41:58,709 --> 02:41:59,343 calculated differently no one 4507 02:41:59,343 --> 02:41:59,910 would be losing money just 4508 02:41:59,910 --> 02:42:02,310 would it be calculated 4509 02:42:03,581 --> 02:42:04,182 differently And I think that's 4510 02:42:04,182 --> 02:42:04,882 all that's all I think 4511 02:42:04,882 --> 02:42:07,852 the discussion needs to be at 4512 02:42:07,852 --> 02:42:08,453 this point is is some kind of 4513 02:42:08,453 --> 02:42:09,153 understanding that fund 4514 02:42:09,153 --> 02:42:09,787 balances just because they've 4515 02:42:09,787 --> 02:42:12,187 been sitting there unspent 4516 02:42:14,425 --> 02:42:15,590 should account against 4517 02:42:15,590 --> 02:42:15,760 the community If there's a 4518 02:42:15,760 --> 02:42:18,760 reason why those funds should 4519 02:42:20,264 --> 02:42:20,999 be spent and I don't know what 4520 02:42:20,999 --> 02:42:21,833 the solution to that is, I will 4521 02:42:21,833 --> 02:42:25,803 note that when you look at when 4522 02:42:25,803 --> 02:42:26,504 you look at the rec center 4523 02:42:26,504 --> 02:42:27,138 funds across the chart and you 4524 02:42:27,138 --> 02:42:27,805 look at the ones based on 4525 02:42:27,805 --> 02:42:30,805 the lowest amount of revenue 4526 02:42:31,442 --> 02:42:32,177 that's collected from 4527 02:42:32,177 --> 02:42:32,844 recreation programing that sort 4528 02:42:32,844 --> 02:42:35,844 of matches up pretty heavily 4529 02:42:37,448 --> 02:42:38,490 with the list of rec centers 4530 02:42:38,490 --> 02:42:38,716 that receive Rec Center 4531 02:42:38,716 --> 02:42:41,116 Opportunity Fund funding as 4532 02:42:42,120 --> 02:42:42,954 well. 4533 02:42:42,954 --> 02:42:43,620 There's got to be some way to 4534 02:42:43,620 --> 02:42:46,620 correlate that and not just 4535 02:42:48,559 --> 02:42:49,127 base it off of balances if that 4536 02:42:49,127 --> 02:42:50,280 would make some sense. 4537 02:42:50,280 --> 02:42:53,628 Another thing I would note is 4538 02:42:53,931 --> 02:42:54,665 that this is an interesting 4539 02:42:54,665 --> 02:42:55,266 conversation because I think in 4540 02:42:55,266 --> 02:42:56,000 each of our communities 4541 02:42:56,000 --> 02:42:58,400 especially in parks surrounding 4542 02:42:59,337 --> 02:42:59,970 rec centers, some of the older 4543 02:42:59,970 --> 02:43:00,705 ones often have playground 4544 02:43:00,705 --> 02:43:03,705 equipment and other things that 4545 02:43:04,943 --> 02:43:05,643 are falling apart and we're 4546 02:43:05,643 --> 02:43:06,344 often scrounging for a couple 4547 02:43:06,344 --> 02:43:09,344 thousand dollars here or there 4548 02:43:10,415 --> 02:43:11,116 to fix a couple of things And 4549 02:43:11,116 --> 02:43:11,916 then yes, it is very difficult 4550 02:43:11,916 --> 02:43:15,620 to go look at a chart like this 4551 02:43:15,620 --> 02:43:16,287 and find that there's tens of 4552 02:43:16,287 --> 02:43:17,210 thousands if not hundreds of 4553 02:43:17,210 --> 02:43:20,210 thousands of dollars sitting in 4554 02:43:21,626 --> 02:43:22,327 a fund that isn't utilized 4555 02:43:22,327 --> 02:43:22,994 the spark an entire memory of 4556 02:43:22,994 --> 02:43:26,594 mine I was at the literally 4557 02:43:26,998 --> 02:43:27,699 closing day in Mesa where they 4558 02:43:27,699 --> 02:43:30,699 literally have the city's get 4559 02:43:32,304 --> 02:43:32,971 it done link on a qr code at 4560 02:43:32,971 --> 02:43:33,672 their snack shop to remind 4561 02:43:33,672 --> 02:43:36,720 every person buying something 4562 02:43:37,809 --> 02:43:38,510 to report that a set of shell 4563 02:43:38,510 --> 02:43:39,211 states shades have been out of 4564 02:43:39,211 --> 02:43:42,211 commission for the better part 4565 02:43:42,614 --> 02:43:43,348 of the entire season and they 4566 02:43:43,348 --> 02:43:44,150 get everyone to submit requests 4567 02:43:44,150 --> 02:43:47,150 thinking that's going to be 4568 02:43:47,953 --> 02:43:48,620 taken care of And those are 4569 02:43:48,620 --> 02:43:49,321 the kinds of things where I 4570 02:43:49,321 --> 02:43:52,321 think we're usually trying to 4571 02:43:52,557 --> 02:43:52,891 find funding elsewhere to 4572 02:43:52,891 --> 02:43:53,525 resolve. 4573 02:43:53,525 --> 02:43:56,525 So for me beyond this 4574 02:43:58,163 --> 02:43:58,864 discussion I think there's an 4575 02:43:58,864 --> 02:43:59,531 opportunity to think about how 4576 02:43:59,531 --> 02:43:59,831 we approach this in the next 4577 02:43:59,831 --> 02:44:00,499 year. 4578 02:44:00,499 --> 02:44:03,499 I also would really benefit 4579 02:44:03,668 --> 02:44:04,235 from understanding how 4580 02:44:04,235 --> 02:44:04,936 the actual budgets are 4581 02:44:04,936 --> 02:44:05,670 determined per rec center fund 4582 02:44:05,670 --> 02:44:09,270 and how those budgets are being 4583 02:44:09,541 --> 02:44:09,908 allocated because they're very 4584 02:44:09,908 --> 02:44:10,642 different. 4585 02:44:10,642 --> 02:44:11,376 There are some that have a huge 4586 02:44:11,376 --> 02:44:14,376 amount in terms of programing 4587 02:44:14,513 --> 02:44:15,213 funds that exceed 4588 02:44:15,213 --> 02:44:15,947 the programing revenue that's 4589 02:44:15,947 --> 02:44:19,547 being received And so this year 4590 02:44:19,951 --> 02:44:20,686 we're actually spending down 4591 02:44:20,686 --> 02:44:21,419 balances across the entire city 4592 02:44:21,419 --> 02:44:21,987 by a couple million dollars But 4593 02:44:21,987 --> 02:44:24,387 I don't imagine that's 4594 02:44:25,524 --> 02:44:26,191 sustainable And so I'm trying 4595 02:44:26,191 --> 02:44:26,824 to understand what does that 4596 02:44:26,824 --> 02:44:30,162 mean in a year or two when 4597 02:44:30,162 --> 02:44:30,896 those balances aren't going to 4598 02:44:30,896 --> 02:44:31,530 support that level of spending? 4599 02:44:31,530 --> 02:44:32,130 Are we heavily subsidizing 4600 02:44:32,130 --> 02:44:34,130 recreational programs at 4601 02:44:36,268 --> 02:44:36,969 the moment And we're going to 4602 02:44:36,969 --> 02:44:37,402 find ourselves in a tough spot 4603 02:44:37,402 --> 02:44:38,136 in two years. 4604 02:44:38,136 --> 02:44:38,437 That's something that stuck out 4605 02:44:38,437 --> 02:44:40,437 to me. 4606 02:44:41,673 --> 02:44:42,374 There are some rec center funds 4607 02:44:42,374 --> 02:44:43,740 that have a huge amount being 4608 02:44:43,740 --> 02:44:45,740 allocated towards maintenance 4609 02:44:46,712 --> 02:44:47,579 and others had a very little 4610 02:44:47,579 --> 02:44:48,280 and again so and some that have 4611 02:44:48,280 --> 02:44:51,280 a huge amount for contingency 4612 02:44:51,582 --> 02:44:52,317 or other expenses I think those 4613 02:44:52,317 --> 02:44:55,317 kinds of details actually would 4614 02:44:56,421 --> 02:44:57,890 help us in individual rec 4615 02:44:57,890 --> 02:44:57,789 centers because again we get 4616 02:44:57,789 --> 02:44:58,424 these requests from community 4617 02:44:58,424 --> 02:45:00,824 members and sometimes for 4618 02:45:01,593 --> 02:45:02,361 simple little things And I 4619 02:45:02,361 --> 02:45:03,600 think we need to be able to 4620 02:45:03,600 --> 02:45:03,628 understand where to point them 4621 02:45:03,628 --> 02:45:06,280 towards in terms of 4622 02:45:07,320 --> 02:45:07,533 opportunities to get things 4623 02:45:07,533 --> 02:45:08,300 fixed in the city. 4624 02:45:08,300 --> 02:45:11,300 We've all talked about how 4625 02:45:13,139 --> 02:45:13,772 wonderful it is to build new 4626 02:45:13,772 --> 02:45:14,440 parks and playgrounds and 4627 02:45:14,440 --> 02:45:15,140 whatnot but there's a lot in 4628 02:45:15,140 --> 02:45:17,809 the city and a lot in each of 4629 02:45:17,809 --> 02:45:18,443 our districts that is in 4630 02:45:18,443 --> 02:45:19,111 disrepair that needs to be 4631 02:45:19,111 --> 02:45:22,414 taken care of and that we're 4632 02:45:22,414 --> 02:45:22,948 seeing funding sitting around 4633 02:45:22,948 --> 02:45:23,581 does certainly hurt. 4634 02:45:23,581 --> 02:45:23,949 So that was my $0.02. 4635 02:45:23,949 --> 02:45:25,949 Thank you. 4636 02:45:27,252 --> 02:45:27,753 Council PRESIDENT. 4637 02:45:27,753 --> 02:45:28,120 All right. 4638 02:45:28,120 --> 02:45:28,854 Thank you. 4639 02:45:28,854 --> 02:45:29,254 We'll go back to Councilmember 4640 02:45:29,254 --> 02:45:29,620 Eli Rivera. 4641 02:45:29,620 --> 02:45:29,988 All right. 4642 02:45:29,988 --> 02:45:31,988 Thank you. 4643 02:45:32,291 --> 02:45:33,158 Council PRESIDENT. 4644 02:45:33,158 --> 02:45:37,358 So one of the things that we 4645 02:45:37,430 --> 02:45:38,130 did during this past this I 4646 02:45:38,130 --> 02:45:38,831 guess current fiscal year that 4647 02:45:38,831 --> 02:45:41,934 was meant to grow the Pie for 4648 02:45:41,934 --> 02:45:42,701 Opportunity Fund was require 4649 02:45:42,701 --> 02:45:45,701 that the lease holders of 4650 02:45:47,239 --> 02:45:47,840 the polo fields pay $100,000 to 4651 02:45:47,840 --> 02:45:50,240 be used specifically for 4652 02:45:52,545 --> 02:45:53,245 opportunity funds that as I 4653 02:45:53,245 --> 02:45:53,912 understand it is not included 4654 02:45:53,912 --> 02:45:54,613 in the allocations for this 4655 02:45:54,613 --> 02:45:56,615 year that payments supposed to 4656 02:45:56,615 --> 02:45:57,820 come in JANUARY? 4657 02:45:57,820 --> 02:45:57,782 That's correct. 4658 02:45:57,782 --> 02:46:01,382 Is there a reason why we 4659 02:46:02,121 --> 02:46:02,888 wouldn't be able to apply and 4660 02:46:02,888 --> 02:46:03,555 I'll look to the aba on this 4661 02:46:03,555 --> 02:46:05,591 don't want to be responsible 4662 02:46:05,591 --> 02:46:06,325 here but if we know we're 4663 02:46:06,325 --> 02:46:08,725 getting $100,000 in JANUARY why 4664 02:46:10,529 --> 02:46:11,297 we wouldn't be able to bank on 4665 02:46:11,297 --> 02:46:15,100 that and use that so that we're 4666 02:46:15,100 --> 02:46:15,434 not battling each other for rec 4667 02:46:15,434 --> 02:46:17,434 centers. 4668 02:46:20,306 --> 02:46:20,973 I mean I'm thinking Stockton 4669 02:46:20,973 --> 02:46:22,508 Rec Center is the one that 4670 02:46:22,508 --> 02:46:23,309 comes to mind for me and that 4671 02:46:23,309 --> 02:46:26,309 one is really benefited from 4672 02:46:27,747 --> 02:46:30,147 this Senior Services Financial 4673 02:46:33,190 --> 02:46:33,786 literacy Zouma classes, youth 4674 02:46:33,786 --> 02:46:37,386 programing And this is in a 4675 02:46:37,490 --> 02:46:40,490 community that that rec center 4676 02:46:42,395 --> 02:46:43,162 was starved for resources to 4677 02:46:43,162 --> 02:46:43,796 the point of of you know like 4678 02:46:43,796 --> 02:46:46,698 really kind of like barely 4679 02:46:46,698 --> 02:46:47,366 having a pulse. 4680 02:46:47,366 --> 02:46:49,766 Opportunity Fund has revived 4681 02:46:51,337 --> 02:46:52,104 the rec center and 4682 02:46:52,104 --> 02:46:56,304 the community is it is one of 4683 02:46:56,375 --> 02:46:57,443 the few places where they can 4684 02:46:57,443 --> 02:47:01,643 be where they can feel safe and 4685 02:47:02,348 --> 02:47:02,849 and enriched their they've gone 4686 02:47:02,849 --> 02:47:04,849 on hikes together. 4687 02:47:06,986 --> 02:47:07,286 It's a beautiful, beautiful 4688 02:47:07,286 --> 02:47:07,987 thing. 4689 02:47:07,987 --> 02:47:10,790 And the idea that we're going 4690 02:47:10,790 --> 02:47:11,457 to be pulling funds from one 4691 02:47:11,457 --> 02:47:12,158 program that does something 4692 02:47:12,158 --> 02:47:15,758 like that to ensure that other 4693 02:47:16,610 --> 02:47:16,729 kids in this city have access 4694 02:47:16,729 --> 02:47:17,300 to the resources they should 4695 02:47:17,300 --> 02:47:17,697 have. 4696 02:47:17,697 --> 02:47:20,980 If there's any way to avoid 4697 02:47:20,980 --> 02:47:20,800 that, I'd like to do that 4698 02:47:20,800 --> 02:47:21,500 especially if we know that 4699 02:47:21,500 --> 02:47:24,500 there's money coming in during 4700 02:47:25,271 --> 02:47:25,571 the next fiscal year. 4701 02:47:25,571 --> 02:47:26,272 Yeah. 4702 02:47:26,272 --> 02:47:26,939 In response to your question, 4703 02:47:26,939 --> 02:47:27,473 Councilmember in general, if 4704 02:47:27,473 --> 02:47:29,473 there's a reasonable 4705 02:47:30,276 --> 02:47:31,440 expectation that dollars will 4706 02:47:31,440 --> 02:47:31,844 be coming in the door it is 4707 02:47:31,844 --> 02:47:34,844 fine and appropriate to budget 4708 02:47:35,715 --> 02:47:36,415 those as you are preparing your 4709 02:47:36,415 --> 02:47:37,490 final budget which you already 4710 02:47:37,490 --> 02:47:39,449 have which is essentially 4711 02:47:40,386 --> 02:47:42,786 allocated dollars towards that 4712 02:47:44,924 --> 02:47:45,624 MAY or MAY not kind of allow 4713 02:47:45,624 --> 02:47:46,292 for cash flow needs but those 4714 02:47:46,292 --> 02:47:49,529 would be a specific kind of 4715 02:47:49,529 --> 02:47:50,229 departmental questions on when 4716 02:47:50,229 --> 02:47:50,897 dollars would be out the door. 4717 02:47:50,897 --> 02:47:51,564 And as I understand it, 4718 02:47:51,564 --> 02:47:52,232 the issue with the doors are 4719 02:47:52,232 --> 02:47:53,800 not going out the door fast 4720 02:47:53,800 --> 02:47:55,800 enough right now. 4721 02:47:58,972 --> 02:47:59,639 So I would want any specific 4722 02:47:59,639 --> 02:48:00,340 allocation to be informed by 4723 02:48:00,340 --> 02:48:01,700 the department and the council 4724 02:48:01,700 --> 02:48:01,441 officers expectation of what 4725 02:48:01,441 --> 02:48:03,441 the needs are. 4726 02:48:04,410 --> 02:48:05,111 But if you have a reasonable 4727 02:48:05,111 --> 02:48:07,511 expectation that dollars will 4728 02:48:08,116 --> 02:48:08,815 be coming in allocating to them 4729 02:48:08,815 --> 02:48:09,181 at this point makes sense. 4730 02:48:09,181 --> 02:48:10,116 >> Yeah. 4731 02:48:10,116 --> 02:48:13,719 So I guess what I what I would 4732 02:48:13,719 --> 02:48:14,387 say is this because I think 4733 02:48:14,387 --> 02:48:15,540 this is where Councilperson 4734 02:48:15,540 --> 02:48:15,588 Pro-Tem was going what would 4735 02:48:15,588 --> 02:48:17,190 the math look like? 4736 02:48:17,190 --> 02:48:17,991 What was the scoring look like 4737 02:48:17,991 --> 02:48:18,358 if the dollars had gone out 4738 02:48:18,358 --> 02:48:19,125 the door? 4739 02:48:19,125 --> 02:48:22,729 Like I think we all agree that 4740 02:48:22,729 --> 02:48:23,430 they should And then once we've 4741 02:48:23,430 --> 02:48:25,830 answered that question or 4742 02:48:27,634 --> 02:48:30,634 either way if there's resources 4743 02:48:32,572 --> 02:48:33,373 that we know are dependable I 4744 02:48:33,373 --> 02:48:36,373 was really glad when that 4745 02:48:37,243 --> 02:48:38,780 happened. 4746 02:48:38,780 --> 02:48:38,845 That was I think a really good 4747 02:48:38,845 --> 02:48:41,845 example of again of leaning 4748 02:48:41,881 --> 02:48:42,682 into the things that San Diego 4749 02:48:42,682 --> 02:48:45,785 takes a lot of pride in but 4750 02:48:45,785 --> 02:48:46,453 don't necessarily isn't 4751 02:48:46,453 --> 02:48:47,153 necessarily benefit everyone 4752 02:48:47,153 --> 02:48:50,753 across the city and making it 4753 02:48:50,757 --> 02:48:54,357 work for the folks who often 4754 02:48:56,329 --> 02:48:57,300 are left behind so if that's if 4755 02:48:57,300 --> 02:48:57,697 we can figure out problem one 4756 02:48:57,697 --> 02:48:58,398 first which is how are these 4757 02:48:58,398 --> 02:49:00,967 dollars going to go out 4758 02:49:00,967 --> 02:49:05,167 the door, then we can then make 4759 02:49:06,139 --> 02:49:06,906 sure that with the any reassess 4760 02:49:06,906 --> 02:49:07,607 amount of scoring that would be 4761 02:49:07,607 --> 02:49:10,443 taken those dollars being out 4762 02:49:10,443 --> 02:49:11,311 the door that there's resources 4763 02:49:11,311 --> 02:49:14,748 there to support it so that you 4764 02:49:14,748 --> 02:49:15,449 know districts that have 4765 02:49:15,449 --> 02:49:18,449 objectively been funded in an 4766 02:49:20,220 --> 02:49:21,200 equitable way in the in 4767 02:49:21,200 --> 02:49:24,424 the past don't again end up in 4768 02:49:24,424 --> 02:49:25,125 a situation where we're 4769 02:49:25,125 --> 02:49:25,425 battling each other for those 4770 02:49:25,425 --> 02:49:25,792 funds. 4771 02:49:25,792 --> 02:49:26,560 Thank you. 4772 02:49:26,560 --> 02:49:29,229 That is great point that we do 4773 02:49:29,229 --> 02:49:29,563 have that funding coming in 4774 02:49:29,563 --> 02:49:30,397 JANUARY. 4775 02:49:30,397 --> 02:49:33,997 I will caution each year we 4776 02:49:34,100 --> 02:49:34,734 budget the opportunity fund 4777 02:49:34,734 --> 02:49:37,734 based on the dollars we've 4778 02:49:38,839 --> 02:49:41,839 collected in the year prior. 4779 02:49:42,809 --> 02:49:43,777 And so if we utilize 4780 02:49:43,777 --> 02:49:46,613 the $100,000 in fy 27 that will 4781 02:49:46,613 --> 02:49:47,140 be the 100,000 less will have 4782 02:49:47,140 --> 02:49:49,140 for fy 28. 4783 02:49:51,251 --> 02:49:52,190 Granted we haven't utilized 4784 02:49:52,190 --> 02:49:52,686 that funding yet but I just 4785 02:49:52,686 --> 02:49:53,320 want to make sure that that 4786 02:49:53,320 --> 02:49:56,320 that's clear But we could 4787 02:49:57,224 --> 02:49:57,991 certainly look to utilize an 4788 02:49:57,991 --> 02:50:02,191 all or part of that funding as 4789 02:50:02,329 --> 02:50:03,620 part of reanalyzing the fy 27 4790 02:50:03,620 --> 02:50:05,462 Opportunity Fund allocation And 4791 02:50:07,000 --> 02:50:07,568 I do want to state that as Andy 4792 02:50:07,568 --> 02:50:08,202 mentioned earlier with 4793 02:50:08,202 --> 02:50:08,768 the merge of the Community 4794

02:50:14,806 more oversight and connectivity 4798 02:50:16,877 --> 02:50:17,477 as an awareness of what's going 4799 02:50:17,477 --> 02:50:20,147 on across both of those 4800 02:50:20,147 --> 02:50:20,914 divisions now that they'll 4801 02:50:20,914 --> 02:50:21,415 become one and there will be 4802 02:50:21,415 --> 02:50:21,915 more oversight in 4803 02:50:21,915 --> 02:50:23,915 the expenditure of 4804 02:50:24,985 --> 02:50:25,886 the recreation center funds. 4805 02:50:25,886 --> 02:50:26,620 I will add that in the spring 4806 02:50:26,620 --> 02:50:29,620 of this past year we 4807 02:50:30,323 --> 02:50:31,240 established a team that is 4808 02:50:31,240 --> 02:50:31,692 working directly with each of 4809 02:50:31,692 --> 02:50:34,920 the center directors across 4810 02:50:34,628 --> 02:50:35,329 the department for this exact 4811 02:50:35,329 --> 02:50:36,290 reason as to ensure that they 4812 02:50:36,290 --> 02:50:39,290 are looking at their budgets, 4813 02:50:39,400 --> 02:50:39,966 their spending, their budgets, 4814 02:50:39,966 --> 02:50:40,668 their expanding, their 4815 02:50:40,668 --> 02:50:41,368 programing based on community 4816 02:50:41,368 --> 02:50:44,772 feedback And this was also in 4817 02:50:44,772 --> 02:50:45,439 anticipation of the community 4818 02:50:45,439 --> 02:50:46,139 recreation needs assessment 4819 02:50:46,139 --> 02:50:46,473 that we will be receiving this 4820 02:50:46,473 --> 02:50:48,473 summer. 4821 02:50:49,176 --> 02:50:49,977 We want to be as prepared as we 4822 02:50:49,977 --> 02:50:50,577 can be to ensure that our very 4823 02:50:50,577 --> 02:50:52,577 green recreation center 4824 02:50:54,448 --> 02:50:55,149 directors are ready to launch 4825 02:50:55,149 --> 02:50:55,749 programing based on what that 4826 02:50:55,749 --> 02:50:57,749 community feedback was. 4827 02:50:58,919 --> 02:50:59,553 And so you do have my 4828 02:50:59,553 --> 02:51:00,287 commitment that we will be 4829 02:51:00,287 --> 02:51:02,287 monitoring closely expenditures 4830 02:51:03,891 --> 02:51:04,525 of these funds so that they are 4831 02:51:04,525 --> 02:51:05,226 going to the purpose that 4832 02:51:05,226 --> 02:51:08,226 they're intended to serve and 4833 02:51:08,495 --> 02:51:08,929 that is programing for 4834 02:51:08,929 --> 02:51:09,363 the community. 4835 02:51:09,363 --> 02:51:10,331 >> Thank you. 4836 02:51:10,331 --> 02:51:13,534 So maybe maybe we need a motion 4837 02:51:13,534 --> 02:51:15,903 right before we do and take a 4838 02:51:15,903 --> 02:51:18,303 two minute pause maybe. 4839 02:51:39,827 --> 02:51:40,694 Yeah. 4840 02:51:40,694 --> 02:51:43,694 I like to avoid surprising 4841 02:51:44,865 --> 02:51:45,633 people Give it a go. 4842 02:51:45,633 --> 02:51:46,700 Councilmember Eli Rivera Oh 4843 02:51:46,700 --> 02:51:48,700 right. 4844 02:51:52,807 --> 02:51:53,140 So I'm to do my best here on 4845 02:51:53,140 --> 02:51:55,140 the fly. 4846 02:51:57,745 --> 02:52:00,745 >> Um, brace yourselves Now we 4847 02:52:02,820 --> 02:52:02,950 can't just return this to staff 4848 02:52:02,950 --> 02:52:03,651 ,but I want to be specific 4849 02:52:03,651 --> 02:52:04,180 about what we're asking for to 4850 02:52:04,180 --> 02:52:06,180 come back. 4851 02:52:06,721 --> 02:52:07,321 I think that's the part because 4852 02:52:07,321 --> 02:52:08,255 it needs to come back. 4853 02:52:08,255 --> 02:52:12,260 I think the thing that we want 4854 02:52:12,260 --> 02:52:16,226 is a plan for how fund balances 4855 02:52:17,865 --> 02:52:21,465 will be spent If a an 4856 02:52:24,500 --> 02:52:24,705 assessment of the scoring if 4857 02:52:24,705 --> 02:52:28,305 the fund balances were to have 4858 02:52:29,430 --> 02:52:29,811 been spent down in the way that 4859 02:52:29,811 --> 02:52:33,411 we agree they should have been 4860 02:52:34,815 --> 02:52:35,450 And then I, I think we should 4861 02:52:35,450 --> 02:52:35,883 be tapping into those polo 4862 02:52:35,883 --> 02:52:37,883 fields funds. 4863 02:52:39,120 --> 02:52:39,787 I understand that it's 4864 02:52:39,787 --> 02:52:40,455 different than the way that 4865 02:52:40,455 --> 02:52:43,455 the other funds have flowed 4866 02:52:44,910 --> 02:52:47,910 into into the opportunity fund 4867 02:52:48,529 --> 02:52:49,620 But we're we're far from we're 4868 02:52:49,620 --> 02:52:49,831 far from overflowing 4869 02:52:49,831 --> 02:52:53,501 the coffers of of of our rec 4870 02:52:53,501 --> 02:52:54,369 centers. 4871 02:52:54,369 --> 02:52:55,690 So I think if we have those 4872 02:52:55,690 --> 02:52:58,669 things in place when the item 4873 02:52:58,940 --> 02:52:59,539 comes back we'll be in a place 4874 02:52:59,539 --> 02:53:00,241 where we can get to 4875 02:53:00,241 --> 02:53:03,177 the resolution that I think we 4876 02:53:03,177 --> 02:53:04,450 all want. 4877 02:53:04,450 --> 02:53:04,679 Does that work as a motion for 4878 02:53:04,679 --> 02:53:07,679 you Council PRESIDENT So I 4879 02:53:08,149 --> 02:53:08,850 think that's direction to 4880 02:53:08,850 --> 02:53:09,550 the staff and my suggestion is 4881 02:53:09,550 --> 02:53:13,150 we just returned this to staff 4882 02:53:13,388 --> 02:53:13,754 and re docket it probably on 4883 02:53:13,754 --> 02:53:14,556 JUNE 29th. 4884 02:53:14,556 --> 02:53:17,692 I want to make sure that 4885 02:53:17,692 --> 02:53:18,293 Councilmember Moreno could 4886 02:53:18,293 --> 02:53:19,260 attend that But you have 4887 02:53:19,260 --> 02:53:21,426 sufficient direction others MAY 4888 02:53:23,310 --> 02:53:23,764 have others But again there's a 4889 02:53:23,764 --> 02:53:24,464 two week window to actually get 4890 02:53:24,464 --> 02:53:27,464 something that can be approved 4891 02:53:28,200 --> 02:53:28,636 and maybe not totally fixed 4892 02:53:28,636 --> 02:53:29,337 because I think there's a 4893 02:53:29,337 --> 02:53:31,737 larger conversation I'll have 4894 02:53:32,707 --> 02:53:33,374 some additional facts as well 4895 02:53:33,374 --> 02:53:34,750 But I think you have enough 4896 02:53:34,750 --> 02:53:36,475 direction of what and 4897 02:53:37,946 --> 02:53:38,580 COUNCILMAN Moran, I see kind of 4898 02:53:38,580 --> 02:53:41,580 nodding your head as well. 4899 02:53:41,750 --> 02:53:42,550 >> All right. 4900

would accompany the use of 4910 02:53:57,980 --> 02:54:00,698 those funds that would need to 4911 02:54:01,236 --> 02:54:01,937 be docketed adjacent to this 4912 02:54:01,937 --> 02:54:02,604 item in

Presumably the 20 4975 02:55:50,679 --> 02:55:51,347 hours in addition that number 4976 02:55:51,347 --> 02:55:54,283 of rec centers would adjust 4977 02:55:54,283 --> 02:55:54,950 the programing availability and 4978 02:55:54,950 --> 02:55:55,384 expectations for revenue and 4979 02:55:55,384 --> 02:55:57,384 expenditures? 4980 02:55:58,887 --> 02:55:59,387 I just don't know to 4981 02:55:59,387 --> 02:55:59,821 the positive or to 4982 02:55:59,821 --> 02:56:00,322 the negative. 4983 02:56:00,322 --> 02:56:00,756 Yes, Thank you for 4984 02:56:00,756 --> 02:56:02,756 the question. 4985 02:56:03,725 --> 02:56:04,393 We do have some of the sites 4986 02:56:04,393 --> 02:56:05,600 that are receiving reduced 4987 02:56:05,600 --> 02:56:08,600 hours that we are currently 4988 02:56:08,230 --> 02:56:08,897 working with our department 4989 02:56:08,897 --> 02:56:09,632 director on how we can 4990 02:56:09,632 --> 02:56:12,320 potentially utilize these funds 4991 02:56:13,335 --> 02:56:14,690 if if at all within Proposition 4992 02:56:14,690 --> 02:56:14,536 26 to support the operations of 4993 02:56:14,536 --> 02:56:16,536 those locations. 4994 02:56:18,240 --> 02:56:18,673 But oh yeah I don't mean that 4995 02:56:18,673 --> 02:56:20,673 in particular. 4996 02:56:22,411 --> 02:56:23,379 I know that idea was brought up 4997 02:56:23,379 --> 02:56:24,800 and I for 1 A.M. Not a huge fan 4998 02:56:24,800 --> 02:56:27,800 of use utilizing the existing 4999 02:56:27,382 --> 02:56:28,183 funding. 5000 02:56:28,183 --> 02:56:28,784 i mean some rec centers across 5001 02:56:28,784 --> 02:56:31,784 the city don't have fund 5002 02:56:33,880 --> 02:56:33,756 balances to utilize for ours. 5003 02:56:33,756 --> 02:56:34,457 Others might be utilized for 5004 02:56:34,457 --> 02:56:37,457 programing in other ways etc. 5005 02:56:37,493 --> 02:56:38,194 So I yeah I, I don't think that 5006 02:56:38,194 --> 02:56:41,764 was the goal but in the final 5007 02:56:41,764 --> 02:56:42,564 budget we did restore hours at 5008 02:56:42,564 --> 02:56:43,132 a number of rec centers and so 5009 02:56:43,132 --> 02:56:45,532 I assume that changes 5010 02:56:46,468 --> 02:56:47,169 the budget assumptions because 5011 02:56:47,169 --> 02:56:47,803 these were put together prior 5012 02:56:47,803 --> 02:56:50,803 to the final budget being 5013 02:56:51,400 --> 02:56:51,807 adopted. 5014 02:56:51,807 --> 02:56:52,508 And so I think that's 5015 02:56:52,508 --> 02:56:56,108 the question is how does that 5016 02:56:56,645 --> 02:56:57,345 change some of these numbers at 5017 02:56:57,345 --> 02:56:58,130 the end of the day given that 5018 02:56:58,130 --> 02:56:58,881 they're already a little bit 5019 02:56:58,881 --> 02:57:01,450 out of date I assume because we 5020 02:57:01,450 --> 02:57:02,118 already adjusted the hours at I 5021 02:57:02,118 --> 02:57:05,718 believe it was like nine rec 5022 02:57:05,988 --> 02:57:06,289 center across the city? 5023 02:57:06,289 --> 02:57:06,989 Yeah. 5024 02:57:06,989 --> 02:57:07,690 If they're sites with reduced 5025 02:57:07,690 --> 02:57:10,250 hours they won't be generating 5026 02:57:10,250 --> 02:57:10,659 the revenue If they don't have 5027 02:57:10,659 --> 02:57:11,260 the additional programing 5028 02:57:11,260 --> 02:57:11,961 taking place because of 5029 02:57:11,961 --> 02:57:12,528 the reduced hours which means 5030 02:57:12,528 --> 02:57:14,928 they won't have those 5031 02:57:15,264 --> 02:57:15,998 expenditures going out 5032 02:57:15,998 --> 02:57:16,299 associated with those programs. 5033 02:57:16,299 --> 02:57:16,899 Right. 5034 02:57:16,899 --> 02:57:17,433 So were these with these 5035 02:57:17,433 --> 02:57:19,833 budgets built off of 5036 02:57:20,690 --> 02:57:20,502 the proposed budget with 5037 02:57:20,502 --> 02:57:20,770 reduced hours? 5038 02:57:20,770 --> 02:57:21,471 No. 5039 02:57:21,471 --> 02:57:24,471 These budgets were built prior 5040 02:57:24,774 --> 02:57:25,441 to the general fund budget 5041 02:57:25,441 --> 02:57:27,841 season and Council PRESIDENT 5042 02:57:29,712 --> 02:57:30,479 Pro Tem if I MAY jump in just 5043 02:57:30,479 --> 02:57:31,180 real quick when it comes to 5044 02:57:31,180 --> 02:57:34,180 the Recreation Center fund and 5045 02:57:35,840 --> 02:57:35,784 the opportunity Fund, a great 5046 02:57:35,784 --> 02:57:36,452 deal of that money is derived 5047 02:57:36,452 --> 02:57:38,852 from permit revenue permit 5048 02:57:39,288 --> 02:57:39,956 revenue is primarily sourced 5049 02:57:39,956 --> 02:57:40,656 from the rental of rooms and 5050 02:57:40,656 --> 02:57:44,256 from the rental of fields And 5051 02:57:44,293 --> 02:57:44,994 honestly most of the permit 5052 02:57:44,994 --> 02:57:48,594 revenue that we see is focused 5053 02:57:49,198 --> 02:57:49,832 on the field rentals and so as 5054 02:57:49,832 --> 02:57:50,532 the field rentals are not 5055 02:57:50,532 --> 02:57:52,932 affected by recreation center 5056 02:57:54,470 --> 02:57:55,171 hours of operation we do 5057 02:57:55,171 --> 02:57:55,905 anticipate that the recreation 5058 02:57:55,905 --> 02:57:58,774 centers will still be excuse me 5059 02:57:58,774 --> 02:57:59,475 the fields will be able to 5060 02:57:59,475 --> 02:58:00,176 generate enough revenue to be 5061 02:58:00,176 --> 02:58:00,777 able to keep what we think is 5062 02:58:00,777 --> 02:58:03,177 going to occur and 5063 02:58:03,812 --> 02:58:04,480 the opportunity fund within 5064 02:58:04,480 --> 02:58:05,214 the same general range that 5065 02:58:05,214 --> 02:58:08,418 it's been over the last several 5066 02:58:08,418 --> 02:58:09,152 years. 5067 02:58:09,152 --> 02:58:09,819 If we had closures of fields 5068 02:58:09,819 --> 02:58:13,220 and things like that and I 5069 02:58:13,220 --> 02:58:13,790 think we would see a bigger 5070 02:58:13,790 --> 02:58:14,423 challenge in front of us with 5071 02:58:14,423 --> 02:58:16,823 respect to the generation 5072 02:58:18,828 --> 02:58:19,162 potential of permit revenue. 5073 02:58:19,162 --> 02:58:19,529 Thanks. 5074 02:58:19,529 --> 02:58:19,929 Got it. 5075 02:58:19,929 --> 02:58:20,862 Thank you. 5076 02:58:20,862 --> 02:58:22,865 Any and then I assume that 5077 02:58:22,865 --> 02:58:23,600 means what little revenue was 5078 02:58:23,600 --> 02:58:24,334 being generated by room rentals 5079 02:58:24,334 --> 02:58:27,334 that was definitely impacted by 5080 02:58:28,504 --> 02:58:29,172 closure. 5081 02:58:29,172 --> 02:58:29,806 Was that that final impact 5082 02:58:29,806 --> 02:58:32,206 scenario not assumed here? 5083 02:58:32,775 --> 02:58:33,542 Okay. 5084 02:58:33,542 --> 02:58:34,244 And then my last question is 5085 02:58:34,244 --> 02:58:36,644 around special event budgets. 5086 02:58:36,746 --> 02:58:37,313 Each of these rec centers have 5087 02:58:37,313 --> 02:58:37,680 special events funding 5088 02:58:37,680 --> 02:58:38,314 budgeted. 5089 02:58:38,314 --> 02:58:41,314 Is that largely to support 5090 02:58:42,180 --> 02:58:42,785 events at the rec center itself 5091 02:58:42,785 --> 02:58:43,520 is putting on or are they ones 5092 02:58:43,520 --> 02:58:46,856 that they are doing at times in 5093 02:58:46,856 --> 02:58:47,157 partnership with the community 5094 02:58:47,157 --> 02:58:48,240 ? 5095 02:58:48,240 --> 02:58:48,792 And I mentioned this and if you 5096 02:58:48,792 --> 02:58:50,994 remember at Stanley Rec Center 5097 02:58:50,994 --> 02:58:51,694 we had a discussion two years 5098 02:58:51,694 --> 02:58:55,294 ago about a an annual OCTOBER 5099 02:58:55,464 --> 02:58:56,650 Fest event held as a support 5100 02:58:56,650 --> 02:58:56,700 for local schools that 5101 02:58:56,700 --> 02:58:57,400 ultimately that was being 5102 02:58:57,400 --> 02:59:00,400 supported as a sponsored event 5103 02:59:01,103 --> 02:59:01,704 through the rec center for a 5104 02:59:01,704 --> 02:59:02,338 number of years and then 5105 02:59:02,338 --> 02:59:03,600 suddenly was not and they 5106 02:59:03,600 --> 02:59:04,840 canceled because permit fees 5107 02:59:04,840 --> 02:59:05,608 suddenly went through the roof. 5108 02:59:05,608 --> 02:59:08,608 That's that's where I'm looking 5109 02:59:09,646 --> 02:59:10,347 to understand how special event 5110 02:59:10,347 --> 02:59:10,680 budgets fill in the gap there 5111 02:59:10,680 --> 02:59:11,414 as well. 5112 02:59:11,414 --> 02:59:14,917 Don't have to answer all that 5113 02:59:14,917 --> 02:59:15,551 now but I just want to flag it 5114 02:59:15,551 --> 02:59:16,252 as something that we might 5115 02:59:16,252 --> 02:59:16,953 follow but certainly be happy 5116 02:59:16,953 --> 02:59:17,454 to have a follow up discussion 5117 02:59:17,454 --> 02:59:19,854 with you on that. 5118 02:59:19,956 --> 02:59:20,423 Thank you. 5119 02:59:20,423 --> 02:59:21,191 >> All right. 5120 02:59:21,191 --> 02:59:22,725 I don't see anybody else in 5121 02:59:22,725 --> 02:59:26,925 lights so I'll be brief in my 5122 02:59:28,264 --> 02:59:29,132 comments. 5123 02:59:29,132 --> 02:59:29,900 This is the kind of stuff I 5124 02:59:29,900 --> 02:59:32,668 love a tiny red flag that opens 5125 02:59:32,668 --> 02:59:33,403 up a conversation that 5126 02:59:33,403 --> 02:59:34,137 everybody thinks it's just kind 5127 02:59:34,137 --> 02:59:34,838 of a routine business And we do 5128 02:59:34,838 --> 02:59:37,107 this every year so let's just 5129 02:59:37,107 --> 02:59:37,941 pass it every year. 5130 02:59:37,941 --> 02:59:38,208 I do want to thank the two of 5131 02:59:38,208 --> 02:59:39,142 you. 5132 02:59:39,142 --> 02:59:42,445 I want to thank Andy for 5133 02:59:42,445 --> 02:59:43,145 jumping in And as a quick 5134 02:59:43,145 --> 02:59:45,545 reminder, Opportunity Fund is 5135 02:59:46,616 --> 02:59:47,317 just a few years old. 5136 02:59:47,317 --> 02:59:50,317 It was built from scratch. 5137 02:59:51,354 --> 02:59:52,550 I think some of the things that 5138 02:59:52,550 --> 02:59:55,550 were discussed today at least 5139 02:59:56,459 --> 02:59:56,960 to me shows that maybe it's 5140 02:59:56,960 --> 02:59:57,527 time to relook at 5141 02:59:57,527 --> 02:59:59,527 the opportunity Fund. 5142 03:00:01,431 --> 03:00:02,650 I took a quick glance at 5143 03:00:02,650 --> 03:00:03,100 the policy and it's pretty 5144 03:00:03,100 --> 03:00:07,704 broad in its scope when it as I 5145 03:00:07,704 --> 03:00:08,304 compare it to 800 dash 14 four 5146 03:00:08,304 --> 03:00:10,607 see ip that's incredibly 5147 03:00:10,607 --> 03:00:11,375 detailed with what the matrix 5148 03:00:11,375 --> 03:00:14,975 is and what the priorities are 5149 03:00:15,846 --> 03:00:16,513 And I imagine for my colleagues 5150 03:00:16,513 --> 03:00:20,113 that when they look at what 5151 03:00:20,483 --> 03:00:21,184 the budget is they don't 5152 03:00:21,184 --> 03:00:21,852 actually know where that money 5153 03:00:21,852 --> 03:00:22,452 is being spent, not that it 5154 03:00:22,452 --> 03:00:24,852 hasn't been allocated or 5155 03:00:25,756 --> 03:00:26,456 budgeted correctly or 5156 03:00:26,456 --> 03:00:27,157 appropriately but I think it 5157 03:00:27,157 --> 03:00:30,160 leaves a lot of questions and 5158 03:00:30,160 --> 03:00:30,826 questions lead to more 5159 03:00:30,826 --> 03:00:31,161 questions and concerns going 5160 03:00:31,161 --> 03:00:31,895 forward. 5161 03:00:31,895 --> 03:00:35,199 So the department might want to 5162 03:00:35,199 --> 03:00:35,899 think about how to communicate 5163 03:00:35,899 --> 03:00:39,499 better of if for a recreation 5164 03:00:39,736 --> 03:00:40,604 center this is what the funding 5165 03:00:40,604 --> 03:00:41,238 is, what that funding is being 5166 03:00:41,238 --> 03:00:41,872 spent on because I suspect 5167 03:00:41,872 --> 03:00:44,272 somewhere in a deeper 5168 03:00:45,208 --> 03:00:45,908 spreadsheet that information is 5169 03:00:45,908 --> 03:00:46,577 actually sitting there whether 5170 03:00:46,577 --> 03:00:49,513 it's programing or a capital 5171 03:00:49,513 --> 03:00:50,180 improvement or a maintenance 5172 03:00:50,180 --> 03:00:52,580 ongoing maintenance And that 5173 03:00:54,510 --> 03:00:54,952 might answer a lot of questions 5174

03:18:53,194 and e-cigarettes highlighting 5596 03:18:55,532 --> 03:18:56,333 persistent disparities in 5597 03:18:56,333 --> 03:18:56,633 tobacco use among this group as 5598 03:18:56,633 --> 03:18:57,400 well. 5599 03:18:57,400 --> 03:19:00,400 Due in part to targeted 5600 03:19:01,370 --> 03:19:01,704 marketing by the tobacco 5601 03:19:01,704 --> 03:19:04,104 industry tactics adopted by 5602 03:19:06,876 --> 03:19:07,544 the marijuana manufacturers as 5603 03:19:07,544 --> 03:19:09,944 well National substance use 5604 03:19:12,382 --> 03:19:13,249 prevention data Further shows 5605 03:19:13,249 --> 03:19:16,249 56% of lgbtq youth used alcohol 5606 03:19:17,954 --> 03:19:20,954 in the past year including 47% 5607 03:19:22,250 --> 03:19:22,392 under age 21 and 1 in 3 used 5608 03:19:22,392 --> 03:19:24,392 marijuana. 5609 03:19:26,596 --> 03:19:27,230 >> Disturbingly, national data 5610 03:19:27,230 --> 03:19:27,930 shows higher substance use 5611 03:19:27,930 --> 03:19:30,930 rates have increased the risk 5612 03:19:32,102 --> 03:19:35,102 of suicide attempt by lgbtq 5613 03:19:36,740 --> 03:19:37,307 youth compared with their peers 5614 03:19:37,307 --> 03:19:38,800 according to research 5615 03:19:38,800 --> 03:19:40,800 harassment and discrimination 5616 03:19:41,711 --> 03:19:42,479 of the lgbtq individuals. 5617 03:19:42,479 --> 03:19:45,479 Increase of stress leading to 5618 03:19:46,917 --> 03:19:47,617 higher rates of youth substance 5619 03:19:47,617 --> 03:19:48,318 use putting them at greater 5620 03:19:48,318 --> 03:19:51,318 risk of addiction and related 5621 03:19:53,190 --> 03:19:53,890 mental health concerns. 5622 03:19:53,890 --> 03:19:56,890 And this data emphasizes that 5623 03:19:57,461 --> 03:19:58,161 widespread commercialization of 5624 03:19:58,161 --> 03:19:58,795 marijuana and other addictive 5625 03:19:58,795 --> 03:20:01,195 products continues to harm 5626 03:20:03,200 --> 03:20:03,933 young people across the board 5627 03:20:03,933 --> 03:20:06,333 as especially vulnerable youth. 5628 03:20:08,305 --> 03:20:09,720 While promises of protection 5629 03:20:09,720 --> 03:20:12,672 have failed in light of all 5630 03:20:12,876 --> 03:20:13,543 this, I urge you to rethink 5631 03:20:13,543 --> 03:20:15,943 drug policies that allow 5632 03:20:18,381 --> 03:20:19,182 widespread availability of high 5633 03:20:19,182 --> 03:20:22,782 potency thc and harm all youth. 5634 03:20:23,287 --> 03:20:23,820 >> Your time has concluded 5635 03:20:23,820 --> 03:20:25,820 going back 59355935. 5636

03:21:08,232 If you can please unmute I 5649 03:21:08,232 --> 03:21:08,899 thank you. 5650 03:21:08,899 --> 03:21:09,232 Good afternoon City Council 5651 03:21:09,232 --> 03:21:11,232 members. 5652 03:21:12,970 --> 03:21:13,671 Yesterday I spoke about 5653 03:21:13,671 --> 03:21:14,270 California's new air tool that 5654 03:21:14,270 --> 03:21:16,270 helps identify marijuana 5655 03:21:17,942 --> 03:21:18,309 packaging that MAY appeal to 5656 03:21:18,309 --> 03:21:18,909 children. 5657 03:21:18,909 --> 03:21:19,610 I think that development 5658 03:21:19,610 --> 03:21:21,610 highlights something important 5659 03:21:23,130 --> 03:21:23,681 technology can be used to 5660 03:21:23,681 --> 03:21:24,810 better protect public health 5661 03:21:24,810 --> 03:21:26,810 and safety. 5662 03:21:27,318 --> 03:21:28,180 If regulators are willing to 5663 03:21:28,180 --> 03:21:28,652 use artificial intelligence to 5664 03:21:28,652 --> 03:21:30,652 help identify problematic 5665 03:21:32,556 --> 03:21:33,890 packaging, perhaps we should 5666 03:21:33,890 --> 03:21:33,691 also explore how new 5667 03:21:33,691 --> 03:21:35,691 technologies can support 5668 03:21:36,794 --> 03:21:37,528 enforcement efforts against 5669 03:21:37,528 --> 03:21:37,861 cannabis retailers that violate 5670 03:21:37,861 --> 03:21:39,861 the law. 5671 03:21:41,532 --> 03:21:42,132 Many San Diegan have heard 5672 03:21:42,132 --> 03:21:42,833 concerns about retailers 5673 03:21:42,833 --> 03:21:45,233 selling unapproved or illegal 5674 03:21:46,637 --> 03:21:47,304 products including products 5675 03:21:47,304 --> 03:21:47,972 that MAY not have undergone 5676 03:21:47,972 --> 03:21:50,741 required testing or that are 5677 03:21:50,741 --> 03:21:51,108 sold outside of approved 5678 03:21:51,108 --> 03:21:51,709 channels. 5679 03:21:51,709 --> 03:21:53,709 Effective enforcement is 5680 03:21:55,679 --> 03:21:56,346 essential because rules only 5681 03:21:56,346 --> 03:21:56,981 protect the public when they 5682 03:21:56,981 --> 03:21:59,381 are actually followed and 5683 03:22:00,384 --> 03:22:01,151 enforced. 5684 03:22:01,151 --> 03:22:04,751 I encourage the city to think 5685 03:22:04,922 --> 03:22:05,623 creatively about how technology 5686 03:22:05,623 --> 03:22:06,257 and data can help identify 5687 03:22:06,257 --> 03:22:08,257 patterns of noncompliance, 5688 03:22:10,193 --> 03:22:10,794 improve inspections, support 5689 03:22:10,794 --> 03:22:12,794 investigations and make 5690 03:22:14,565 --> 03:22:14,932 enforcement resources more 5691 03:22:14,932 --> 03:22:15,633 efficient. 5692 03:22:15,633 --> 03:22:16,267 Air should never replace human 5693 03:22:16,267 --> 03:22:19,267 judgment, but it MAY help 5694 03:22:19,770 --> 03:22:20,471 regulators focus attention 5695 03:22:20,471 --> 03:22:20,838 where problems are most likely 5696 03:22:20,838 --> 03:22:22,838 to exist. 5697 03:22:24,608 --> 03:22:25,276 As a mother of three young 5698 03:22:25,276 --> 03:22:26,100 children, my concern is that 5699 03:22:26,100 --> 03:22:28,410 when products with intoxicating 5700 03:22:29,580 --> 03:22:30,281 effects are sold in our 5701 03:22:30,281 --> 03:22:30,948 communities we should be doing 5702 03:22:30,948 --> 03:22:33,948 everything we can to ensure 5703 03:22:34,850 --> 03:22:34,785 businesses are following 5704 03:22:34,785 --> 03:22:35,452 the rules and that youth are 5705 03:22:35,452 --> 03:22:37,852 protected from exposure and 5706 03:22:39,890 --> 03:22:40,591 access to the state's new ai 5707 03:22:40,591 --> 03:22:43,591 tool shows that innovation can 5708 03:22:43,794 --> 03:22:44,127 be used in service of public 5709 03:22:44,127 --> 03:22:44,829 safety. 5710 03:22:44,829 --> 03:22:48,429 I hope San Diego will continue 5711 03:22:48,666 --> 03:22:49,267 looking for ways to use 5712 03:22:49,267 --> 03:22:49,967 available technology to 5713 03:22:49,967 --> 03:22:50,601 strengthen oversight, improve 5714 03:22:50,601 --> 03:22:52,601 accountability and protect 5715 03:22:53,971 --> 03:22:54,371 young people. 5716 03:22:54,371 --> 03:22:54,739 Thank you. 5717

admirable if this 5728 03:23:19,931 --> 03:23:20,598 council itself wasn't denying 5729 03:23:20,598 --> 03:23:21,332 freedom and equal rights to 5730 03:23:21,332 --> 03:23:24,932 your own citizens

03:41:30,627 --> 03:41:33,627 information agenda, but I want 6189 03:41:35,660 --> 03:41:39,266 to say that I, um I'm opposed 6190 03:41:39,870 --> 03:41:40,336 to the city investing our tax 6191 03:41:40,336 --> 03:41:41,104 dollars period. 6192 03:41:41,104 --> 03:41:44,704 Um, no matter how they invest 6193 03:41:45,275 --> 03:41:46,430 them even if they get $150 6194 03:41:46,430 -->

the financing group as to 6198 03:41:59,590 --> 03:42:00,224 the reason I'm opposed to them 6199 03:42:00,224 --> 03:42:03,224 is because I believe there 6200 03:42:04,228 --> 03:42:04,928 could be chances for collusion 6201 03:42:04,928 --> 03:42:05,528 and market manipulation among 6202 03:42:05,528 --> 03:42:07,528 Masonic brothers inside 6203 03:42:10,660 --> 03:42:13,666 the market and on

6207 03:42:20,277 --> 03:42:23,277 have reason to believe that 6208 03:42:24,281 --> 03:42:28,481 the same people who are on are 6209 03:42:28,886 --> 03:42:29,587 running the water system and um 6210 03:42:29,587 --> 03:42:32,587 could be Masonic brothers with 6211 03:42:34,240 --> 03:42:37,624 the city council and I believe 6212 03:42:37,995 --> 03:42:38,696 that um is can cause collusion 6213 03:42:38,696 --> 03:42:39,363 and I believe that more 6214 03:42:39,363 --> 03:42:42,363 attention needs to be drawn 6215 03:42:43,600 --> 03:42:47,200 towards um the City council and 6216 03:42:48,390 --> 03:42:48,706 the people in the market um and 6217 03:42:48,706 --> 03:42:51,706 the water system they're not 6218 03:42:52,876 --> 03:42:53,744 total strangers to each other. 6219

--> 03:43:04,540 manipulation where if I'm if I 6223 03:43:04,540 --> 03:43:04,755 want to start investing my 6224 03:43:04,755 --> 03:43:07,755 money I feel uncomfortable If 6225 03:43:07,925 --> 03:43:08,626 there is Masonic brothers, um, 6226 03:43:08,626 --> 03:43:09,326 playing around with the market 6227 03:43:09,326 --> 03:43:12,129 investing money in the market 6228 03:43:12,129 --> 03:43:12,830 and I, I wanted to say that 6229 03:43:12,830 --> 03:43:15,830 maybe we should not allow 6230 03:43:17,535 --> 03:43:18,169 Freemasons to invest in 6231 03:43:18,169 --> 03:43:18,902 the market because they're 6232 03:43:18,902 --> 03:43:19,436 telepathic and that could cause 6233 03:43:19,436 --> 03:43:21,436 an unfair advantage. 6234 03:43:22,440 --> 03:43:22,807 >> Your time has concluded 6235 03:43:22,807 --> 03:43:23,441 allegedly. 6236 03:43:23,441 --> 03:43:24,175 Try If you can please come 6237 03:43:24,175 --> 03:43:27,175 forward You'll have two minutes 6238 03:43:31,449 --> 03:43:32,216 for both items. 6239 03:43:32,216 --> 03:43:33,317 >> Uh, I do appreciate Max. 6240 03:43:33,317 --> 03:43:36,387 He does have a little bit of a 6241 03:43:36,387 --> 03:43:37,154 different way of presenting 6242 03:43:37,154 --> 03:43:40,825 things but what he is saying is 6243 03:43:40,825 --> 03:43:41,459 true There is manipulation in 6244 03:43:41,459 --> 03:43:41,832 the market and things like 6245 03:43:41,832 --> 03:43:42,693 that. 6246 03:43:42,693 --> 03:43:45,830 So you guys want to kind of 6247 03:43:45,830 --> 03:43:46,531 dismiss people but if you 6248 03:43:46,531 --> 03:43:49,531 listen to things that they're 6249 03:43:50,100 --> 03:43:50,802 saying you might pick a 6250 03:43:50,802 --> 03:43:51,569 pointers that would bring you 6251 03:43:51,569 --> 03:43:54,569 back over center of what 6252 03:43:55,473 --> 03:43:58,473 the person is saying Because 6253 03:43:59,977 --> 03:44:00,645 you know the problem is is that 6254 03:44:00,645 --> 03:44:01,312 it's interesting that we're 6255 03:44:01,312 --> 03:44:02,460 always getting into debt for 6256 03:44:02,460 --> 03:44:05,460 the basic necessities of things 6257 03:44:05,350 --> 03:44:06,840 that need to be provided. 6258 03:44:06,840 --> 03:44:09,840 You know, the government should 6259 03:44:09,721 --> 03:44:10,488 have been put in place for us 6260 03:44:10,488 --> 03:44:14,880 to have like those basic things 6261 03:44:14,458 --> 03:44:15,226 like water, electricity and you 6262 03:44:15,226 --> 03:44:18,226 know, just the freedom of 6263 03:44:19,663 --> 03:44:20,498 movement and things like that. 6264 03:44:20,498 --> 03:44:21,199 But what happens is is that you 6265 03:44:21,199 --> 03:44:24,350 guys look at it as a business 6266 03:44:24,350 --> 03:44:24,802 so you buy and you sell water, 6267 03:44:24,802 --> 03:44:28,673 you know and it's like we go 6268 03:44:28,673 --> 03:44:29,440 into debt trying to provide it. 6269 03:44:29,440 --> 03:44:29,974 We can't even keep up with 6270 03:44:29,974 --> 03:44:31,974 the infrastructure. 6271 03:44:32,610 --> 03:44:33,311 I mean look at this storm $5 6272 03:44:33,311 --> 03:44:33,778 billion that we need for storm 6273 03:44:33,778 --> 03:44:35,778 infrastructure. 6274 03:44:37,415 --> 03:44:38,490 That's that's a disgrace And so 6275 03:44:38,490 --> 03:44:38,782 it's like, you know, when 6276 03:44:38,782 --> 03:44:41,782 the government gets into doing 6277 03:44:42,219 --> 03:44:42,921 things in a business manner, 6278 03:44:42,921 --> 03:44:45,921 they're looking at revenue and 6279 03:44:46,560 --> 03:44:47,258 making money and not really 6280 03:44:47,258 --> 03:44:47,692 just making sure that we have 6281 03:44:47,692 --> 03:44:49,692 these things. 6282 03:44:51,696 --> 03:44:52,496 That's why it's awesome to be 6283 03:44:52,496 --> 03:44:53,164 out in an unincorporated area 6284 03:44:53,164 --> 03:44:53,865 where you can have your own 6285 03:44:53,865 --> 03:44:56,634 water and you don't have 6286 03:44:56,634 --> 03:44:57,301 the city or in some, you know, 6287 03:44:57,301 --> 03:44:59,301 municipality or corporation 6288 03:45:00,805 --> 03:45:01,606 coming in and putting fluoride 6289 03:45:01,606 --> 03:45:05,806 and chlorine and lye and all of 6290 03:45:05,944 --> 03:45:06,644 these things like you guys do 6291 03:45:06,644 --> 03:45:07,312 you know we're able to just 6292 03:45:07,312 --> 03:45:10,312 from the ground drill get 6293 03:45:11,282 --> 03:45:11,983 the water and be able to you 6294 03:45:11,983 --> 03:45:14,983 know, provide for our families 6295 03:45:15,753 --> 03:45:16,321 in that way. 6296 03:45:16,321 --> 03:45:16,955 But it's like when 6297 03:45:16,955 --> 03:45:17,656 the government weaponizes 6298 03:45:17,656 --> 03:45:20,592 things And that's the problem 6299 03:45:20,592 --> 03:45:21,258 is that things should be benign 6300 03:45:21,258 --> 03:45:21,626 And on the surface it looks 6301 03:45:21,626 --> 03:45:23,626 that way. 6302 03:45:24,862 --> 03:45:25,530 But when you weaponize 6303 03:45:25,530 --> 03:45:26,231 something against the people 6304 03:45:26,231 --> 03:45:28,631 that's where corruption comes 6305 03:45:29,834 --> 03:45:30,802 in And so it's unfortunate that 6306 03:45:30,802 --> 03:45:35,240 we have to be in debt just for 6307 03:45:35,240 --> 03:45:35,874 things like water sewer as I in 6308 03:45:35,874 --> 03:45:36,541 the five minute time we're 6309 03:45:36,541 --> 03:45:38,941 going to those participating 6310 03:45:39,644 -->

Thank you, PRESIDENT All right. 6431 04:01:05,442 --> 04:01:06,175 I want to make sure that I 6432 04:01:06,175 --> 04:01:09,175 understood some of the comments 6433 04:01:11,150 --> 04:01:11,547 at the beginning, the downgrade 6434 04:01:11,547 --> 04:01:13,547 that was mentioned. 6435 04:01:15,418 --> 04:01:16,186 What are the practical 6436 04:01:16,186 --> 04:01:18,586 implications of that for 6437 04:01:21,958 --> 04:01:22,693 the city? 6438 04:01:22,693 --> 04:01:23,393 Thank you Council Member First, 6439 04:01:23,393 --> 04:01:26,393 the downgrade was specific to 6440 04:01:28,699 --> 04:01:29,299 the water utility so any 6441 04:01:29,299 --> 04:01:29,866 impacts would be only on 6442 04:01:29,866 --> 04:01:30,567 the water utility, not 6443 04:01:30,567 --> 04:01:34,167 the general fund bonds of this 6444 04:01:34,738 --> 04:01:35,505 who bonds in terms of practical 6445 04:01:35,505 --> 04:01:38,505 impacts typically So in this 6446 04:01:40,510 --> 04:01:41,211 case the bonds that we are 6447 04:01:41,211 --> 04:01:41,878 selling in two weeks are still 6448 04:01:41,878 --> 04:01:45,478 going to be in the category 6449 04:01:46,616 --> 04:01:46,850 They were downgraded from 2 to 6450 04:01:46,850 --> 04:01:48,850 3. 6451 04:01:52,880 --> 04:01:52,788 We could see some impact on 6452 04:01:52,788 --> 04:01:53,223 the interest rate or the cost 6453 04:01:53,223 --> 04:01:53,857 of borrowing. 6454 04:01:53,857 --> 04:01:56,857 It's it's hard to quantify 6455 04:01:59,620 --> 04:01:59,830 exactly how much but in based 6456 04:01:59,830 --> 04:02:03,430 on my discussion with them this 6457 04:02:04,367 --> 04:02:07,367 bill advisor worst case there 6458 04:02:10,600 --> 04:02:10,808 could be an impact of about 6459 04:02:10,808 --> 04:02:13,808 five basis points or.05 percent 6460 04:02:16,179 --> 04:02:16,947 that's that's give or take but 6461 04:02:16,947 --> 04:02:17,614 also to get more context as we 6462 04:02:17,614 --> 04:02:20,614 know the interest rates are 6463 04:02:21,251 --> 04:02:21,952 determined the date of pricing 6464 04:02:21,952 --> 04:02:22,553 and there are several factors 6465 04:02:22,553 --> 04:02:24,953 that determine our final 6466 04:02:27,624 --> 04:02:28,324 borrowing rate depending on how 6467 04:02:28,324 --> 04:02:28,825 many other bonds are available 6468 04:02:28,825 --> 04:02:29,526 for sale that day. 6469 04:02:29,526 --> 04:02:32,526 What are the demand conditions 6470 04:02:33,330 --> 04:02:33,930 Macroeconomy conditions, 6471 04:02:33,930 --> 04:02:34,564 geopolitical conditions. 6472 04:02:34,564 --> 04:02:38,164 So in that context of this 6473 04:02:39,903 --> 04:02:41,903 rating downgrade qualitatively 6474 04:02:44,908 --> 04:02:48,508 could is a relatively minor and 6475 04:02:51,140 --> 04:02:51,415 potential impact. 6476 04:02:51,415 --> 04:02:51,715 Got it. 6477 04:02:51,715 --> 04:02:52,249 Okay. 6478 04:02:52,249 --> 04:02:54,249 I

has become deeply 7127 04:21:56,399 --> 04:21:57,000 integrated into the city's 7128 04:21:57,000 --> 04:21:59,000 business processes, data 7129 04:22:00,703 --> 04:22:01,404 structures and connected 7130 04:22:01,404 --> 04:22:02,105 systems serving as a critical 7131 04:22:02,105 --> 04:22:05,105 tool for project delivery and 7132 04:22:05,809 --> 04:22:06,509 service coordination. 7133 04:22:06,509 --> 04:22:08,509 Today approximately 1000 city 7134 04:22:11,810 --> 04:22:11,648 users rely on dot maps to 7135 04:22:11,648 --> 04:22:12,315 perform the daily work 7136 04:22:12,315 --> 04:22:14,715 replacing the platform which 7137 04:22:15,385 --> 04:22:15,986 requires significant 7138 04:22:15,986 --> 04:22:16,419 redevelopment extensive 7139 04:22:16,419 --> 04:22:18,419 customization. 7140 04:22:20,189 --> 04:22:20,757 Staff retraining and complex 7141 04:22:20,757 --> 04:22:22,757 data migration efforts 7142 04:22:24,927 --> 04:22:25,561 resulting in substantial cost 7143 04:22:25,561 --> 04:22:26,960 operational disruption and 7144 04:22:26,960 --> 04:22:28,960 implementation risk. 7145 04:22:30,990 --> 04:22:30,833 Given the software's proven 7146 04:22:30,833 --> 04:22:31,535 performance mature integrations 7147 04:22:31,535 --> 04:22:33,935 and importance to maintaining 7148 04:22:35,172 --> 04:22:35,839 service continuity. 7149 04:22:35,839 --> 04:22:36,540 Continuing with the existing 7150 04:22:36,540 --> 04:22:39,540 platform is the most practical 7151 04:22:40,544 --> 04:22:41,278 and cost effective option. 7152 04:22:41,278 --> 04:22:44,278 The proposed ten year agreement 7153 04:22:44,881 --> 04:22:45,449 also provides long term 7154 04:22:45,449 --> 04:22:46,183 operational stability, 7155 04:22:46,183 --> 04:22:49,183 predictable costs and a reduced 7156 04:22:49,586 --> 04:22:50,521 risk for the city. 7157 04:22:50,521 --> 04:22:51,388 With this I hand it over to 7158 04:22:51,388 --> 04:22:54,524 Chelsea to go over the dot maps 7159 04:22:54,524 --> 04:22:55,580 application in more detail. 7160 04:22:55,580 --> 04:22:57,580 >> Good afternoon. 7161 04:22:59,630 --> 04:23:00,330 As you all know this is our

coordination as well as be a 7166 04:23:05,636 --> 04:23:07,636 project finder. 7167 04:23:09,439 --> 04:23:10,240 We have internal facing 7168 04:23:10,240 --> 04:23:13,840 application as well as a public 7169 04:23:14,478 --> 04:23:15,145 facing application like Patrick 7170 04:23:15,145 --> 04:23:15,946 mentioned, we integrate data 7171 04:23:15,946 --> 04:23:19,546 from a number of city sources 7172 04:23:19,749 --> 04:23:20,417 throughout the development 7173 04:23:20,417 --> 04:23:22,417 services engineering capital 7174 04:23:24,488 --> 04:23:25,155 projects, transportation, 7175 04:23:25,155 --> 04:23:25,823 public utilities, stormwater 7176 04:23:25,823 --> 04:23:28,223 special events and external 7177 04:23:29,927 --> 04:23:30,694 utilities. 7178 04:23:30,694 --> 04:23:33,940 There was extension extensive 7179 04:23:34,198 --> 04:23:34,965 customization and the end 7180 04:23:34,965 --> 04:23:38,565 result is being able to see 7181 04:23:41,471 --> 04:23:42,239 everything on one on one map. 7182 04:23:42,239 --> 04:23:43,700 The reason why this matters is 7183 04:23:43,700 --> 04:23:46,444 because the city of San Diego 7184 04:23:46,444 --> 04:23:47,440 has a strong commitment to both 7185 04:23:47,440 --> 04:23:49,440 our street preservation 7186 04:23:51,150 --> 04:23:51,481 ordinance as well as well as a 7187 04:23:51,481 --> 04:23:52,149 one tick policy. 7188 04:23:52,149 --> 04:23:54,549 From an internal perspective 7189 04:23:55,486 --> 04:23:56,187 this map identifies those 7190 04:23:56,187 --> 04:23:58,587 conflicts and opportunities to 7191 04:23:59,890 --> 04:24:00,291 coordinate very early in 7192 04:24:00,291 --> 04:24:00,991 the process. 7193 04:24:00,991 --> 04:24:04,591 By doing that it saves money, 7194 04:24:04,929 --> 04:24:07,929 time and resources that don't 7195 04:24:09,667 --> 04:24:10,334 end up as real time conflicts 7196 04:24:10,334 --> 04:24:11,135 While people are trying to 7197 04:24:11,135 --> 04:24:14,135 excavate from a public facing 7198 04:24:15,500 --> 04:24:15,672 perspective. 7199 04:24:15,672 --> 04:24:18,672 It has improvements to our 7200 04:24:19,744 -->

we lack depth in how to talk 7467 04:33:20,921 --> 04:33:21,622 about how to see a larger 7468 04:33:21,622 --> 04:33:24,622 picture and making choices and 7469 04:33:24,892 --> 04:33:25,692 decision making. 7470 04:33:25,692 --> 04:33:29,292 So I like that these contracts 7471 04:33:29,730 --> 04:33:30,597 are at a ten year point at some 7472 04:33:30,597 --> 04:33:34,100 and in some ways these types of 7473 04:33:34,100 --> 04:33:34,701 contracts are usually reserved 7474 04:33:34,701 --> 04:33:35,135 for military it's my 7475 04:33:35,135 --> 04:33:37,135 understanding. 7476 04:33:38,706 --> 04:33:39,373 >> And so you get a sense of 7477 04:33:39,373 --> 04:33:39,907 it's conservative value and 7478 04:33:39,907 --> 04:33:42,307 nature and you know, 7479 04:33:44,110 --> 04:33:44,845 predictions and tendencies. 7480 04:33:44,845 --> 04:33:48,314 >> So in a way it's good. 7481 04:33:48,314 --> 04:33:49,160 I'm just a bit worried about it 7482 04:33:49,160 --> 04:33:52,616 overall but I like the idea 7483 04:33:53,554 --> 04:33:54,221 that we can talk in more a 7484 04:33:54,221 --> 04:33:54,822 broader sense about our long 7485 04:33:54,822 --> 04:33:57,222 term planning for our 7486 04:33:58,325 --> 04:33:59,260 communities. 7487 04:33:59,260 --> 04:33:59,960 How can we do that more here at 7488 04:33:59,960 --> 04:34:00,327 the everyday level in council 7489 04:34:00,327 --> 04:34:02,327 meetings? 7490 04:34:03,697 --> 04:34:04,298 I hope we can do that or that's 7491 04:34:04,298 --> 04:34:04,865 just all my thoughts and 7492 04:34:04,865 --> 04:34:07,265 feelings on this item. 7493 04:34:07,701 --> 04:34:08,202 Thanks for your patience. 7494 04:34:08,202 --> 04:34:08,835 >> Thank you. 7495 04:34:08,835 --> 04:34:09,403 That does conclude

remember a 7506 04:34:22,783 --> 04:34:26,383 few years back when we didn't 7507 04:34:27,321 --> 04:34:27,988 coordinate these things and we 7508 04:34:27,988 --> 04:34:28,689 ended up having one utility 7509 04:34:28,689 --> 04:34:31,689 tearing up the street another 7510 04:34:32,460 --> 04:34:32,827 coming in week later tearing it 7511 04:34:32,827 --> 04:34:33,727 up again. 7512 04:34:33,727 --> 04:34:37,327 And what this does is makes 7513 04:34:37,431 --> 04:34:38,132 that much better. 7514 04:34:38,132 --> 04:34:41,132 We coordinate all the tearing 7515 04:34:41,135 --> 04:34:41,769 up to try to occur at one time 7516 04:34:41,769 --> 04:34:45,139 So when we fix the street 7517 04:34:45,139 --> 04:34:46,700 afterwards it stays fixed. 7518 04:34:46,700 --> 04:34:46,673 So this has helped tremendously 7519 04:34:46,673 --> 04:34:49,673 and I really appreciate it. 7520 04:34:49,810 --> 04:34:50,511 Unfortunately this is the only 7521 04:34:50,511 -->

7966 04:48:43,248 --> 04:48:43,749 going to come through and do 7967 04:48:43,749 --> 04:48:44,483 some nice things. 7968 04:48:44,483 --> 04:48:45,217 These are big project things to 7969 04:48:45,217 --> 04:48:48,817 me I'm trying to consider what 7970 04:48:49,388 --> 04:48:50,880 are the day to day things that 7971 04:48:50,880 --> 04:48:50,789 can just help facilitate, you 7972 04:48:50,789 --> 04:48:53,789 know, a good thinking process 7973 04:48:55,561 --> 04:48:56,295 for all of us And when we get 7974 04:48:56,295 --> 04:48:56,628 stuck there can be ways to move 7975 04:48:56,628 --> 04:48:57,429 forward. 7976 04:48:57,429 --> 04:49:01,132 You did that today with a few 7977 04:49:01,132 --> 04:49:01,767 items earlier that you know 7978 04:49:01,767 --> 04:49:02,401 certain practices that you 7979 04:49:02,401 --> 04:49:04,801 couldn't move forward with 7980 04:49:07,339 --> 04:49:08,107 things and there was just ways 7981 04:49:08,107 --> 04:49:08,773 to continue to ask Well yeah we 7982 04:49:08,773 --> 04:49:11,773 can do things possibly Let's 7983 04:49:12,378 --> 04:49:17,178 bring that out And how do we do 7984 04:49:18,617 --> 04:49:19,318 that more regularly And with 7985 04:49:19,318 --> 04:49:19,918 for instance stormwater issues 7986 04:49:19,918 --> 04:49:23,518 if and when they come up 7987 04:49:23,956 --> 04:49:24,657 Because I know previously I 7988 04:49:24,657 --> 04:49:25,323 would just get stuck sometimes 7989 04:49:25,323 --> 04:49:29,523 and like well we just got to 7990 04:49:30,195 --> 04:49:30,996 continue the same old same old 7991 04:49:30,996 --> 04:49:34,596 And I felt really stupid with 7992 04:49:36,100 --> 04:49:36,702 that And but you know you know 7993 04:49:36,702 --> 04:49:40,302 I want to be figuring that 7994 04:49:43,109 --> 04:49:43,809 better now and so I guess I 7995 04:49:43,809 --> 04:49:44,743 mentioned at this time what is 7996 04:49:44,743 -->

04:49:54,987 good luck. 8000 04:49:54,987 --> 04:49:55,688 >> How we can be thinking and 8001 04:49:55,688 --> 04:49:58,688 doing that with stormwater is 8002 04:49:59,925 --> 04:50:00,392 Thank you. 8003 04:50:00,392 --> 04:50:01,930 Thank you. 8004 04:50:01,930 --> 04:50:01,460 That concludes our comment on 8005 04:50:01,460 --> 04:50:03,460 item 331. 8006 04:50:05,598 --> 04:50:06,432 All right. 8007 04:50:06,432 --> 04:50:07,660 Thank you Deputy Clerk There is 8008 04:50:07,660 --> 04:50:07,933 no storm water or a storm 8009 04:50:07,933 --> 04:50:11,533 drainage in this item so just 8010 04:50:12,771 --> 04:50:13,406 clear that for the record I 8011 04:50:13,406 --> 04:50:14,400 will turn over to council 8012 04:50:14,400 --> 04:50:14,740 members questions comments 8013 04:50:14,740 --> 04:50:16,976 entertain a motion will go to 8014 04:50:16,976 --> 04:50:17,610 council member Aiello were 8015 04:50:17,610 --> 04:50:20,610 there All right thank you 8016 04:50:22,548 --> 04:50:23,480 Council PRESIDENT I appreciate 8017 04:50:23,480 --> 04:50:25,480 the presentation. 8018 04:50:27,753 --> 04:50:31,953 I think one question I do want 8019 04:50:33,992 --> 04:50:34,694 to ask though is looking at 8020 04:50:34,694 --> 04:50:35,328 the first part the continuing 8021 04:50:35,328 --> 04:50:35,661 improvements and the staff 8022 04:50:35,661 --> 04:50:37,661 report. 8023 04:50:39,732 --> 04:50:42,732 It says the consultant's task 8024 04:50:44,637 --> 04:50:48,237 was executed on AUGUST 23rd and 8025 04:50:49,800 --> 04:50:49,575 is currently set to expire on 8026 04:50:49,575 --> 04:50:50,276 AUGUST 23rd 2026 to 8027 04:50:50,276 --> 04:50:50,909 the original project based on 8028 04:50:50,909 --> 04:50:52,712 it has to be completion of 8029 04:50:52,712 --> 04:50:55,712 design by DECEMBER 20th For 8030 04:50:59,652 --> 04:51:00,318 however, the project schedule 8031 04:51:00,318 --> 04:51:01,540 was delayed for a number of 8032 04:51:01,540 --> 04:51:04,540 reasons or extended and I'm 8033 04:51:04,824 --> 04:51:05,524 trying to understand on 8034 04:51:05,524 --> 04:51:09,124 the front end how difficult it 8035 04:51:11,640 --> 04:51:11,864 was to anticipate the reasons 8036 04:51:11,864 --> 04:51:14,864 why we are extending Nothing 8037 04:51:17,136 --> 04:51:20,736 here seems say nothing but very 8038 04:51:22,508 --> 04:51:23,576 few of these things seem 8039 04:51:23,576 --> 04:51:27,176 surprising so why not just have 8040 04:51:28,781 --> 04:51:29,482 a timeline that better matches 8041 04:51:29,482 --> 04:51:29,882 what we expect the timeline to 8042 04:51:29,882 --> 04:51:31,882 actually be? 8043 04:51:35,388 --> 04:51:36,550 Yeah so I think when what 8044 04:51:36,550 --> 04:51:36,656 happens is during design is 8045 04:51:36,656 --> 04:51:37,290 more information becomes 8046 04:51:37,290 --> 04:51:40,290 available and as you that 8047 04:51:41,159 --> 04:51:41,895 information becomes ground 8048 04:51:41,895 --> 04:51:42,595 truth then the design gets more 8049 04:51:42,595 --> 04:51:43,161 refined, the project gets more 8050 04:51:43,161 --> 04:51:46,161 refined And so some of 8051 04:51:47,300 --> 04:51:47,633 the assumptions can move 8052 04:51:47,633 --> 04:51:48,200 around. 8053 04:51:48,200 --> 04:51:48,902 But I would defer to 8054 04:51:48,902 --> 04:51:50,603 the project management team to 8055 04:51:50,603 --> 04:51:50,940 get more detail on the specific 8056 04:51:50,940 --> 04:51:52,940 project. 8057 04:51:56,910 --> 04:51:57,577 >> Thank you. 8058 04:51:57,577 --> 04:51:58,344 Good afternoon everyone. 8059 04:51:58,344 --> 04:52:02,544 My name is needs to be around 8060 04:52:03,149 --> 04:52:03,850 senior civil engineer as it was 8061 04:52:03,850 --> 04:52:04,417 noted in the presentation this 8062 04:52:04,417 --> 04:52:06,817 project is located in 8063 04:52:09,289 --> 04:52:09,889 the Canyon Environmentalist 8064 04:52:09,889 --> 04:52:10,557 area which is required 8065 04:52:10,557 --> 04:52:12,557 extensive environmental and 8066 04:52:16,730 --> 04:52:17,297 also we are close to I-5 That 8067 04:52:17,297 --> 04:52:17,664 requires a permit from 8068 04:52:17,664 --> 04:52:18,398 Caltrans. 8069 04:52:18,398 --> 04:52:21,998 In addition to that when we 8070 04:52:22,435 --> 04:52:22,869 started the project we started 8071 04:52:22,869 --> 04:52:23,636 a high level. 8072 04:52:23,636 --> 04:52:26,360 We required at various 8073 04:52:28,174 --> 04:52:28,875 technical study to define 8074 04:52:28,875 --> 04:52:29,576 the scope of work which helps 8075 04:52:29,576 --> 04:52:33,176 us to understand what needs to 8076 04:52:34,347 --> 04:52:35,348 be built. 8077 04:52:35,348 --> 04:52:35,749 That is why it took a long time 8078 04:52:35,749 --> 04:52:36,483 to do that. 8079 04:52:36,483 --> 04:52:38,883 Originally when we started 8080 04:52:40,487 --> 04:52:41,354 the project the information 8081 04:52:41,354 --> 04:52:44,954 that we have was enough to 8082 04:52:46,826 --> 04:52:47,494 initiate it but thereafter we 8083 04:52:47,494 --> 04:52:50,494 did more work, more research 8084 04:52:53,660 --> 04:52:53,466 and put into a detail of 8085 04:52:53,466 --> 04:52:54,134 the project. 8086 04:52:54,134 --> 04:52:54,868 That is why you'll see more 8087 04:52:54,868 --> 04:52:57,268 amendment thereafter because we 8088 04:52:58,538 --> 04:53:02,138 know more about the projects I 8089 04:53:03,442 --> 04:53:06,442 think is not five right? 8090 04:53:08,515 --> 04:53:08,815 Pardon me You said it's near 8091 04:53:08,815 --> 04:53:09,683 five. 8092 04:53:09,683 --> 04:53:13,883 This is your five and your five 8093 04:53:13,954 --> 04:53:14,621 like the Caltrans encroachment 8094 04:53:14,621 --> 04:53:15,222 you mentioned the project is 8095 04:53:15,222 --> 04:53:18,222 close to eight which is 8096 04:53:20,594 --> 04:53:21,328 requiring encroachment. 8097 04:53:21,328 --> 04:53:21,628 I think I understood all of 8098 04:53:21,628 --> 04:53:22,229 that. 8099 04:53:22,229 --> 04:53:25,229 I guess what I'm trying 8100 04:53:25,732 --> 04:53:26,266 understand is again I 8101 04:53:26,266 --> 04:53:26,667 understand that it's 8102 04:53:26,667 --> 04:53:27,334 complicated. 8103 04:53:27,334 --> 04:53:30,334 I understand that there are 8104 04:53:31,671 --> 04:53:32,139 there but there's a lot that's 8105 04:53:32,139 --> 04:53:32,773 going into this. 8106 04:53:32,773 --> 04:53:33,440 What I'm not understanding 8107 04:53:33,440 --> 04:53:36,440 necessarily is how that was 8108 04:53:38,780 --> 04:53:38,912 unanticipated. 8109 04:53:38,912 --> 04:53:39,613 We knew it was in a canyon. 8110 04:53:39,613 --> 04:53:39,980 We knew it was environmentally 8111 04:53:39,980 --> 04:53:40,681 sensitive. 8112 04:53:40,681 --> 04:53:44,251 We knew that it would likely 8113 04:53:44,251 --> 04:53:44,884 involve working with like I'm 8114 04:53:44,884 --> 04:53:47,284 trying to understand that 8115 04:53:49,189 --> 04:53:52,189 the gap between what was 8116 04:53:55,329 --> 04:53:56,960 projected to be the timeline 8117 04:53:56,960 --> 04:53:56,797 and what is actually and what 8118 04:53:56,797 --> 04:53:57,497 was actually the timeline and 8119 04:53:57,497 --> 04:54:01,970 how much of that was actually 8120 04:54:01,568 --> 04:54:02,201 unforeseeable because if it's 8121 04:54:02,201 --> 04:54:02,937 foreseeable why aren't we 8122 04:54:02,937 --> 04:54:05,937 building that into the timeline 8123 04:54:07,374 --> 04:54:08,141 on at the beginning? 8124 04:54:08,141 --> 04:54:08,742 That's a very good question and 8125 04:54:08,742 --> 04:54:11,142 here's why this matters. 8126 04:54:14,114 --> 04:54:14,814 There's like one 8127 04:54:14,814 --> 04:54:15,315 the expectations that are set 8128 04:54:15,315 --> 04:54:16,160 on the status with 8129 04:54:16,160 --> 04:54:16,717 the expectations that are set 8130 04:54:16,717 --> 04:54:19,717 on the day yesterday conveyed 8131 04:54:23,123 --> 04:54:23,757 out to the community and it 8132 04:54:23,757 --> 04:54:24,458 just feels like there's a 8133 04:54:24,458 --> 04:54:26,693 better way to to discuss these 8134 04:54:26,693 --> 04:54:30,893 things on the front end so that 8135 04:54:33,000 --> 04:54:33,667 we're not constantly explaining 8136 04:54:33,667 --> 04:54:34,368 why things are taking longer 8137 04:54:34,368 --> 04:54:37,968 than they expect than they are 8138 04:54:44,345 --> 04:54:45,450 expected to take And a perfect 8139 04:54:45,450 --> 04:54:45,913 answer to that question I just 8140 04:54:45,913 --> 04:54:49,513 I think it's a fair question 8141 04:54:51,180 --> 04:54:51,619 Raise the yes, I think there 8142 04:54:51,619 --> 04:54:52,253 are assumptions made at 8143 04:54:52,253 --> 04:54:55,253 the early phase of design 8144 04:54:56,257 --> 04:54:56,957 the pre design phase and we 8145 04:54:56,957 --> 04:54:57,658 have timeframes we assume for 8146 04:54:57,658 --> 04:54:59,658 certain environmental reviews 8147 04:55:01,896 --> 04:55:02,763 permitting mitigation. 8148 04:55:02,763 --> 04:55:03,531 But what can happen is there's 8149 04:55:03,531 --> 04:55:07,131 sort of accumulation of all of 8150 04:55:08,169 --> 04:55:08,902 a sudden not often but 8151 04:55:08,902 --> 04:55:09,403 unanticipated like now you will 8152 04:55:09,403 --> 04:55:09,970 have this impact. 8153 04:55:09,970 --> 04:55:12,970 So you have to define 8154 04:55:14,542 --> 04:55:15,309 the number of of what that 8155 04:55:15,309 --> 04:55:15,943 impact is and so that it kind 8156 04:55:15,943 --> 04:55:18,943 of creates a multiplier a 8157 04:55:19,680 --> 04:55:20,114 little bit in terms of pushing 8158 04:55:20,114 --> 04:55:20,848 out the time. 8159 04:55:20,848 --> 04:55:21,649 So I don't think it happens on 8160 04:55:21,649 --> 04:55:24,649 all projects but in these 8161 04:55:25,686 --> 04:55:26,353 particular projects where you 8162 04:55:26,353 --> 04:55:26,954 have these different factors 8163 04:55:26,954 --> 04:55:29,354 like the various natural 8164 04:55:31,325 --> 04:55:32,260 resources in environmental 8165 04:55:32,260 --> 04:55:32,693 reviews and Caltrans they sort 8166 04:55:32,693 --> 04:55:36,293 of all work together to add 8167 04:55:36,864 --> 04:55:37,531 time Sometimes it's kind of 8168 04:55:37,531 --> 04:55:38,232 like the best way I can 8169 04:55:38,232 --> 04:55:38,633 describe it but it's probably 8170 04:55:38,633 --> 04:55:38,933 goes better. 8171 04:55:38,933 --> 04:55:40,933 Okay. 8172 04:55:42,203 --> 04:55:46,403 And is there not another way to 8173 04:55:54,715 --> 04:55:55,482 do this though? 8174 04:55:55,482 --> 04:55:55,917 I don't know if there's another 8175 04:55:55,917 --> 04:55:56,784 way to do it. 8176 04:55:56,784 --> 04:56:00,487 I mean I guess I would defer to 8177 04:56:00,487 --> 04:56:01,220 the design teams They accept a 8178 04:56:01,220 --> 04:56:01,621 project with certain 8179 04:56:01,621 --> 04:56:02,123 assumptions made, right? 8180 04:56:02,123 --> 04:56:04,123 Here's the scope. 8181 04:56:06,960 --> 04:56:07,561 Here's where it is and then 8182 04:56:07,561 --> 04:56:08,196 they work out what they 8183 04:56:08,196 --> 04:56:11,196 anticipate to be the time 8184 04:56:12,400 --> 04:56:12,967 frames for these different 8185 04:56:12,967 --> 04:56:13,701 items with Caltrans or 8186 04:56:13,701 --> 04:56:16,101 environmental permitting and do 8187 04:56:18,606 --> 04:56:19,440 their best to capture that. 8188 04:56:19,440 --> 04:56:20,141 And that's part of what when 8189 04:56:20,141 --> 04:56:20,742 you have a consultant to help 8190 04:56:20,742 --> 04:56:23,142 refine the project and 8191 04:56:24,312 --> 04:56:25,120 the design of the project then 8192 04:56:25,120 --> 04:56:25,713 you're going to tease out some 8193 04:56:25,713 --> 04:56:28,713 of these elements where you're 8194 04:56:29,951 --> 04:56:30,618 going to have to assume things 8195 04:56:30,618 --> 04:56:31,319 and then sometimes you can't 8196 04:56:31,319 --> 04:56:34,319 always you just can't predict 8197 04:56:36,424 --> 04:56:36,774 what's going to be the time 8198 04:56:36,774 --> 04:56:37,425 frame. 8199 04:56:37,425 --> 04:56:40,425 Sometimes I think that's what 8200 04:56:41,462 --> 04:56:42,330 it comes down to. 8201 04:56:42,330 --> 04:56:45,330 Okay well I won't belabor 8202 04:56:47,135 --> 04:56:49,135 the point. 8203 04:56:51,272 --> 04:56:51,873 I, I just feel like in the year 8204 04:56:51,873 --> 04:56:52,507 2026 with the amount of 8205 04:56:52,507 --> 04:56:54,907 information that we have, 8206 04:56:57,712 --> 04:56:58,346 the knowledge we have, 8207 04:56:58,346 --> 04:56:59,130 the experience we have we 8208 04:56:59,130 --> 04:57:02,130 should be getting better at 8209 04:57:03,284 --> 04:57:03,952 predicting these things not 8210 04:57:03,952 --> 04:57:04,519 worse And I'm not sure that 8211 04:57:04,519 --> 04:57:06,519 we're getting better. 8212 04:57:08,723 --> 04:57:09,524 So I hope that we can find a 8213 04:57:09,524 --> 04:57:10,158 better answer to whether or not 8214 04:57:10,158 --> 04:57:13,158 there's other ways ways of 8215 04:57:14,295 --> 04:57:14,996 doing things Um in the future 8216 04:57:14,996 --> 04:57:15,830 because this is it's just it's 8217 04:57:15,830 --> 04:57:19,430 not a good way of building 8218 04:57:19,901 --> 04:57:20,568 trust and it doesn't seem like 8219 04:57:20,568 --> 04:57:23,568 a particularly good way of 8220 04:57:25,373 --> 04:57:25,706 delivering what residents 8221 04:57:25,706 --> 04:57:26,574 expect. 8222 04:57:26,574 --> 04:57:29,574 Again, I know there's always 8223 04:57:31,790 --> 04:57:33,479 unforeseen issues that arise 8224 04:57:36,840 --> 04:57:36,751 whether or not they're 8225 04:57:36,751 --> 04:57:37,452 unforeseeable is a different 8226 04:57:37,452 --> 04:57:38,119 question and whether or not we 8227 04:57:38,119 --> 04:57:41,122 can factor at least some of 8228 04:57:41,122 --> 04:57:41,856 that in on the front end to 8229 04:57:41,856 --> 04:57:42,557 create realistic expectations I 8230 04:57:42,557 --> 04:57:46,157 think is an important thing to 8231 04:57:46,928 --> 04:57:47,629 wrestle with The standard order 8232 04:57:47,629 --> 04:57:48,330 of business that we just 8233 04:57:48,330 --> 04:57:49,640 routinely extended and extend 8234 04:57:49,640 --> 04:57:53,264 and extend and all of us should 8235 04:57:53,468 --> 04:57:54,169 just expect that except that I 8236 04:57:54,169 --> 04:57:57,769 think that's the part that I'm 8237 04:57:59,341 --> 04:57:59,774 just less accepting of at this 8238 04:57:59,774 --> 04:58:00,542 point. 8239 04:58:00,542 --> 04:58:01,209 With that I will move approval. 8240 04:58:01,209 --> 04:58:02,177 Council PRESIDENT Thank you. 8241 04:58:02,177 --> 04:58:05,313 Okay we have most of my from a 8242 04:58:05,313 --> 04:58:05,980 regular of to move a staff 8243 04:58:05,980 --> 04:58:06,615 recommendation I'm going to 8244 04:58:06,615 --> 04:58:09,250 jump in with my big mouth 8245 04:58:09,250 --> 04:58:09,918 wonder the storm drains in 8246 04:58:09,918 --> 04:58:10,619 there so I spoke incorrectly 8247 04:58:10,619 --> 04:58:14,219 what I'm guessing is I didn't 8248 04:58:14,423 --> 04:58:14,923 actually hear that this project 8249 04:58:14,923 --> 04:58:16,923 is taking longer. 8250 04:58:19,994 --> 04:58:20,761 You have a panel of as needed 8251 04:58:20,761 --> 04:58:24,361 consultants on board and as you 8252 04:58:25,667 --> 04:58:26,368 identify projects you decide 8253 04:58:26,368 --> 04:58:26,768 which project to find to which 8254 04:58:26,768 --> 04:58:28,768 as needed. 8255 04:58:31,373 --> 04:58:32,740 The duration of that as need a 8256 04:58:32,740 --> 04:58:34,740 consultant doesn't necessarily 8257 04:58:36,511 --> 04:58:37,278 line up with the project need 8258 04:58:37,278 --> 04:58:37,746 and so someone MAY make it. 8259 04:58:37,746 --> 04:58:38,213 That's correct. 8260 04:58:38,213 --> 04:58:40,213 That is correct. 8261 04:58:41,983 --> 04:58:42,684 So we're conflating 8262 04:58:42,684 --> 04:58:46,284 the contract of an as needed 8263 04:58:47,422 --> 04:58:47,789 basis with this particular 8264 04:58:47,789 --> 04:58:48,522 contract. 8265 04:58:48,522 --> 04:58:52,122 Now someone did make a decision 8266 04:58:52,995 --> 04:58:53,695 going this Fern's only got a 8267 04:58:53,695 --> 04:58:54,395 couple of years left and we 8268 04:58:54,395 --> 04:58:55,970 think this project is going to 8269 04:58:55,970 --> 04:58:57,599 get done in a couple of years 8270 04:58:57,599 --> 04:58:58,100 Or do we likely have consultant 8271 04:58:58,100 --> 04:58:59,670 team so much? 8272 04:58:59,670 --> 04:59:02,667 Let's go ahead and give that 8273 04:59:03,405 --> 04:59:05,805 anticipating that we probably 8274 04:59:07,275 --> 04:59:08,760 will need a time extension $0 I 8275 04:59:08,760 --> 04:59:08,409 think council like for $0 going 8276 04:59:08,409 --> 04:59:09,244 forward. 8277 04:59:09,244 --> 04:59:12,844 So it's that decision to award 8278 04:59:15,184 --> 04:59:15,884 this project to this as needed 8279 04:59:15,884 --> 04:59:18,520 or to this consultant that if 8280 04:59:18,520 --> 04:59:19,221 the glitch as opposed to this 8281 04:59:19,221 --> 04:59:19,888 project taking longer than one 8282 04:59:19,888 --> 04:59:22,888 would guess because I'm you 8283 04:59:23,959 --> 04:59:24,660 didn't say it so I'm assuming 8284 04:59:24,660 --> 04:59:25,361 this project's probably taken 8285 04:59:25,361 --> 04:59:29,561 as long as storms or excuse me 8286 04:59:29,598 --> 04:59:30,566 sewer projects in Kenyon's take 8287 04:59:30,566 --> 04:59:33,469 That's what I'm kind of kind of 8288 04:59:33,469 --> 04:59:33,836 guessing so I don't That helps 8289 04:59:33,836 --> 04:59:34,470 you, sir. 8290 04:59:34,470 --> 04:59:37,470 But I think that's where 8291 04:59:38,440 --> 04:59:39,141 the problem lies is should we 8292 04:59:39,141 --> 04:59:39,641 have gone with this consultant 8293 04:59:39,641 --> 04:59:41,641 for this project? 8294 04:59:43,512 --> 04:59:44,213 >> Yeah, I just I think what's 8295 04:59:44,213 --> 04:59:44,846 the original project Based on 8296 04:59:44,846 --> 04:59:46,846 anticipated completion of 8297 04:59:47,349 --> 04:59:48,500 design by DECEMBER 24th. 8298 04:59:48,500 --> 04:59:51,500 So there's components of this 8299 04:59:51,887 --> 04:59:52,588 that are in the staff report 8300 04:59:52,588 --> 04:59:53,321 that is speaking to when 8301 04:59:53,321 --> 04:59:53,622 certain things should have been 8302 04:59:53,622 --> 04:59:55,622 done. 8303 04:59:57,426 --> 04:59:58,127 There's so I probably am 8304 04:59:58,127 --> 05:00:00,127 conflating certain components 8305 05:00:02,970 --> 05:00:06,297 or aspects of this but we also 8306 05:00:06,535 --> 05:00:07,169 you know there's there's 8307 05:00:07,169 --> 05:00:09,569 certain deadlines that are 8308 05:00:12,308 --> 05:00:13,800 built into the staff report 8309 05:00:13,800 --> 05:00:13,676 that doesn't feel like we're I 8310 05:00:13,676 --> 05:00:14,310 call them deadlines because 8311 05:00:14,310 --> 05:00:16,979 once I put a date down for 8312 05:00:16,979 --> 05:00:17,680 something I considered a 8313 05:00:17,680 --> 05:00:20,680 deadline and I don't disagree 8314 05:00:21,717 --> 05:00:22,417 with that So but I'll be happy 8315 05:00:22,417 --> 05:00:23,850 to Second thought We have a 8316 05:00:23,850 --> 05:00:23,819 motion by Councilmember Eula 8317 05:00:23,819 --> 05:00:25,921 Rivera in a second by myself so 8318 05:00:25,921 --> 05:00:26,255 maybe my comments weren't so 8319 05:00:26,255 --> 05:00:27,890 helpful. 8320 05:00:27,890 --> 05:00:30,793 So with that I will go to 8321 05:00:30,793 --> 05:00:31,394 Councilmember Foster. 8322 05:00:31,394 --> 05:00:32,127 Yes, Thank you, Council 8323 05:00:32,127 --> 05:00:35,127 PRESIDENT And I do appreciate 8324 05:00:35,531 --> 05:00:39,131 your your approach in trying to 8325 05:00:41,103 --> 05:00:42,710 provide some clarification But 8326 05:00:42,710 --> 05:00:42,805 I think what I will add is that 8327 05:00:42,805 --> 05:00:45,641 the utilization of the city 8328 05:00:45,641 --> 05:00:46,342 contracts and this issue that 8329 05:00:46,342 --> 05:00:49,942 we receive when you talk about 8330 05:00:50,112 --> 05:00:50,713 task orders being issued and 8331 05:00:50,713 --> 05:00:51,413 time extension not a new 8332 05:00:51,413 --> 05:00:54,413 conversation it has been going 8333 05:00:55,651 --> 05:00:56,385 on for years and I wish 8334 05:00:56,385 --> 05:00:59,985 the city attorney would step in 8335 05:01:00,189 --> 05:01:00,890 and do a full analysis and make 8336 05:01:00,890 --> 05:01:01,591 sure that we are doing things 8337 05:01:01,591 --> 05:01:03,991 appropriately because I think 8338 05:01:05,610 --> 05:01:05,761 we are abusing that tool just a 8339 05:01:05,761 --> 05:01:08,761 little excessively out of a 8340 05:01:09,232 --> 05:01:10,990 matter of convenience. 8341 05:01:10,990 --> 05:01:14,299 I will say the other side of 8342 05:01:14,637 --> 05:01:18,341 this is and I would agree when 8343 05:01:18,341 --> 05:01:21,941 we talk about the items that 8344 05:01:23,346 --> 05:01:23,979 are identified as potential 8345 05:01:23,979 --> 05:01:24,714 delays, I would agree that 8346 05:01:24,714 --> 05:01:28,314 those are things that we should 8347 05:01:28,384 --> 05:01:29,352 have known and anticipated. 8348 05:01:29,352 --> 05:01:32,952 But also if we are talking 8349 05:01:33,489 --> 05:01:34,157 about I mean I did not look up 8350 05:01:34,157 --> 05:01:37,157 the specifics of the project 8351 05:01:37,760 --> 05:01:38,628 but if we were supposed to have 8352 05:01:38,628 --> 05:01:41,628 something done in 2024 I would 8353 05:01:42,532 --> 05:01:43,132 ask are we monitoring and 8354 05:01:43,132 --> 05:01:45,132 holding our consultants 8355 05:01:47,300 --> 05:01:47,937 accountable? 8356 05:01:47,937 --> 05:01:51,537 Are we looking at managing this 8357 05:01:52,800 --> 05:01:52,675 appropriately and using 8358 05:01:52,675 --> 05:01:55,675 the tool of errors and 8359 05:01:57,213 --> 05:01:57,914 omissions insurance to hold 8360 05:01:57,914 --> 05:02:00,914 them accountable as we are 8361 05:02:02,151 --> 05:02:03,190 doing business? 8362 05:02:03,190 --> 05:02:06,789 And so I think those are things 8363 05:02:06,789 --> 05:02:07,690 that we need to continue to 8364 05:02:07,690 --> 05:02:11,290 look at, discuss and review and 8365 05:02:11,361 --> 05:02:12,280 make sure that just as we are 8366 05:02:12,280 --> 05:02:14,428 held accountable for getting 8367 05:02:16,467 --> 05:02:17,660 work done, I want to make sure 8368 05:02:17,660 --> 05:02:20,660 that we are holding our 8369 05:02:20,870 --> 05:02:21,271 consultants and our contractors 8370 05:02:21,271 --> 05:02:22,138 accountable. 8371 05:02:22,138 --> 05:02:23,500 If they are to hit a date they 8372 05:02:23,500 --> 05:02:25,942 should have a darn good reason 8373 05:02:25,942 --> 05:02:26,609 for not hitting that date And 8374 05:02:26,609 --> 05:02:30,213 most of the folks that we do 8375 05:02:30,213 --> 05:02:31,140 work with are very, very 8376 05:02:31,140 --> 05:02:34,614 familiar with the I'm going to 8377 05:02:35,719 --> 05:02:36,452 say current conditions as they 8378 05:02:36,452 --> 05:02:40,356 go out and do the business that 8379 05:02:40,356 --> 05:02:40,991 they do, We tend to repeat 8380 05:02:40,991 --> 05:02:43,391 the utilization of our 8381 05:02:45,128 --> 05:02:45,828 consultants quite often and so 8382 05:02:45,828 --> 05:02:46,529 I think that's something that 8383 05:02:46,529 --> 05:02:47,197 we need to look at especially 8384 05:02:47,197 --> 05:02:49,999 as we are looking at the gap 8385 05:02:49,999 --> 05:02:50,634 with our ip and getting done 8386 05:02:50,634 --> 05:02:54,234 what we need to get done. 8387 05:02:54,304 --> 05:02:54,971 So I think there's some overall 8388 05:02:54,971 --> 05:02:55,705 management improvements that 8389 05:02:55,705 --> 05:02:59,842 need to be made to drive our 8390 05:02:59,842 --> 05:03:00,544 costs down and to hold folks 8391 05:03:00,544 --> 05:03:03,544 accountable so we can deliver 8392 05:03:04,514 --> 05:03:04,982 what we need to deliver. 8393 05:03:04,982 --> 05:03:05,648 Thank you. 8394 05:03:05,648 --> 05:03:06,150 Council PRESIDENT All right. 8395 05:03:06,150 --> 05:03:06,716 Well said. 8396

first came to City Council 8443 05:04:47,170 --> 05:04:47,718 just to make my voice heard 8444 05:04:47,718 --> 05:04:48,118 because I'm being targeted and 8445 05:04:48,118 --> 05:04:50,118 persecuted. 8446 05:04:50,921 --> 05:04:51,622 I believe for being Catholic by 8447 05:04:51,622 --> 05:04:54,220 telepathic Freemasons who can 8448 05:04:55,792 --> 05:04:56,526 read my mind And I never would 8449 05:04:56,526 --> 05:05:00,126 have thought in a million years 8450 05:05:01,980 --> 05:05:01,799 that the state trolley 8451 05:05:01,799 --> 05:05:02,366 the state homeless shelter in 8452 05:05:02,366 --> 05:05:03,100 the state library and 8453 05:05:03,100 --> 05:05:06,100 the buildings downtown that are 8454 05:05:06,403 --> 05:05:07,710 persecuting me that my 8455 05:05:07,710 --> 05:05:07,637 persecution would lead into 8456 05:05:07,637 --> 05:05:10,370 city council who also 8457 05:05:12,209 --> 05:05:12,610 persecuted me of neuro 8458 05:05:12,610 --> 05:05:13,311 linguistics. 8459 05:05:13,311 --> 05:05:13,978 And I wanted to say I brought 8460 05:05:13,978 --> 05:05:16,447 up this statement before I 8461 05:05:16,447 --> 05:05:16,980 think on the minutes by 8462 05:05:16,980 --> 05:05:17,681 persecutory of neuro 8463 05:05:17,681 --> 05:05:20,681 linguistics they exposed to me 8464 05:05:20,784 --> 05:05:21,452 that they're Freemasons and 8465 05:05:21,452 --> 05:05:22,153 that they're telepathic and 8466 05:05:22,153 --> 05:05:25,890 they've done pagan rituals and 8467 05:05:25,890 --> 05:05:25,960 that their religion is actually 8468 05:05:25,960 --> 05:05:28,960 paganism and Freemasonry And I 8469 05:05:30,594 --> 05:05:31,162 believe that they have an 8470 05:05:31,162 --> 05:05:31,862 unfair advantage over 8471 05:05:31,862 --> 05:05:34,862 the common man because they're 8472 05:05:34,999 --> 05:05:35,765 telepathic and they can use a 8473 05:05:35,765 --> 05:05:39,365 third eye to camp out in 8474 05:05:39,537 --> 05:05:40,237 people's consciousness and know 8475 05:05:40,237 --> 05:05:40,905 exactly what they're thinking. 8476 05:05:40,905 --> 05:05:41,605 I think in the minutes there 8477 05:05:41,605 --> 05:05:44,442 should be an asterisk on who's 8478 05:05:44,442 --> 05:05:45,176 a Freemason and I believe that 8479 05:05:45,176 --> 05:05:45,910 to give up their advantage. 8480 05:05:45,910 --> 05:05:48,910 >> Thank you for your comments. 8481 05:05:56,787 --> 05:05:57,454 Next up is allegedly order 8482 05:05:57,454 --> 05:05:59,454 holding people accountable. 8483 05:06:01,926 -->
