Good morning everybody.

124
00:03:50,249 --> 00:03:53,249
I'm speaking today as a

125
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:54,653
resident of Oak Park and a

126
00:03:54,653 --> 00:03:54,987
frequent patron of the Oak Park

127
00:03:54,987 --> 00:03:56,987
Library.

128
00:03:57,522 --> 00:03:58,290
I probably been down there five

129
00:03:58,290 --> 00:03:58,991
times for books, maybe 15 or 10

130
00:03:58,991 --> 00:04:01,391
for community events but

131
00:04:02,861 --> 00:04:03,729
the rest for Mark Davis.

132
00:04:03,729 --> 00:04:04,696
I want to say he's gone far

133
00:04:04,696 --> 00:04:07,999
beyond what it means to be a

134
00:04:07,999 --> 00:04:08,967
librarian.

135
00:04:08,967 --> 00:04:09,668
And I would want to call out

136
00:04:09,668 --> 00:04:10,369
was active role in supporting

137
00:04:10,369 --> 00:04:13,538
the community be it friends of

138
00:04:13,538 --> 00:04:14,206
the library or the Oak Park

139
00:04:14,206 --> 00:04:14,706
Youth Core and see that he's

140
00:04:14,706 --> 00:04:16,706
been exceptional.

141
00:04:17,276 --> 00:04:17,976
But what I really want to

142
00:04:17,976 --> 00:04:18,743
highlight today is the fact

143
00:04:18,743 --> 00:04:19,144
that for Mark it has never been

144
00:04:19,144 --> 00:04:21,144
exceptional.

145
00:04:22,648 --> 00:04:23,482
It's just a Tuesday.

146
00:04:23,482 --> 00:04:26,482
I've never seen someone so

147
00:04:27,285 --> 00:04:27,886
professional, so nonchalant and

148
00:04:27,886 --> 00:04:30,286
yet so compassionate and

149
00:04:31,957 --> 00:04:32,791
helpful at the same time.

150
00:04:32,791 --> 00:04:33,492
He has proven that pragmatism

151
00:04:33,492 --> 00:04:36,260
does not preclude activism and

152
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:36,928
in doing so rather than

153
00:04:36,928 --> 00:04:39,328
exceeding the standards for

154
00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:42,367
librarians, he's lifted them up

155
00:04:42,367 --> 00:04:45,967
to his He's the quintessence of

156
00:04:46,238 --> 00:04:47,106
what it means to be a librarian

157
00:04:47,106 --> 00:04:47,640
in the 21st century and he's a

158
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,640
true public servant.

159
00:04:50,910 --> 00:04:51,610
I hope he can serve as a model

160
00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:52,477
for all those who come after

161
00:04:52,477 --> 00:04:54,112
him and we're truly sad to see

162
00:04:54,112 --> 00:04:56,112
him go.

163
00:04:58,918 --> 00:04:59,952

thought it was really important

197
00:05:57,176 --> 00:06:00,776
for everybody to know that we

198
00:06:01,347 --> 00:06:03,747
are Pelican's River pelicans.

199
00:06:05,584 --> 00:06:06,552
Our our our how do you say our

200
00:06:06,552 --> 00:06:10,152
motto are we have what's that

201
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:11,591

00:06:12,358 --> 00:06:15,958

pelican.

205
00:06:16,929 --> 00:06:17,262
We are pelicans and we love DR.

206
00:06:17,262 --> 00:06:19,262

207
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,100

00:06:50,863 --> 00:06:51,731

233
00:07:55,996 --> 00:07:59,596
Well I wanted to thank Council

234
00:07:59,698 --> 00:08:00,433
PRESIDENT LaCava and

235
00:08:00,433 --> 00:08:01,167
the members of the City Council

236
00:08:01,167 --> 00:08:04,167
Thank you today for recognizing

237
00:08:04,471 --> 00:08:05,710
Pollinator Week 2026 As someone

238
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:07,471
who studies bees and

239
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:09,676
representing the city of San

240
00:08:09,676 --> 00:08:10,310
Diego Obesity Initiative,

241
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:13,310
pollinators are not just a

242
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:14,781
symbol of nature they are part

243
00:08:14,781 --> 00:08:15,482
of our working infrastructure

244
00:08:15,482 --> 00:08:18,482
of healthy ecosystems In San

245
00:08:19,286 --> 00:08:19,986
Diego they support canyons,

246
00:08:19,986 --> 00:08:22,386
parks, gardens, native plants

247
00:08:24,758 --> 00:08:25,492
and even food and therefore

248
00:08:25,492 --> 00:08:25,858
they're really valuable part of

249
00:08:25,858 --> 00:08:26,526
our city.

250
00:08:26,526 --> 00:08:28,926
And I'm especially grateful

251
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:30,497
that the city has taken

252
00:08:30,497 --> 00:08:31,198
the leadership role in

253
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:31,865
the mayor's monarch pledge and

254
00:08:31,865 --> 00:08:33,865
particularly for supporting

255
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:35,669
Edie 2254 the Monarch

256
00:08:35,669 --> 00:08:37,669
Protection Bill protecting

257
00:08:40,907 --> 00:08:41,542
Monarch Overwintering habitats

258
00:08:41,542 --> 00:08:44,542
in our California coast is

259
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,380
exactly the kind of practical

260
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:46,980
science based action that can

261
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:47,614
make a real difference.

262
00:08:47,614 --> 00:08:50,140
So I think pollinator

263
00:08:51,885 --> 00:08:52,552
protection with the city's help

264
00:08:52,552 --> 00:08:53,253
is not just abstract We can

265
00:08:53,253 --> 00:08:55,653
dedicate ourselves to reducing

266
00:08:56,857 --> 00:08:57,490
chemicals, to planting

267
00:08:57,490 --> 00:08:59,490
biodiverse water, drought

268
00:09:02,529 --> 00:09:03,297
tolerant native plants and

269
00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:03,764
bringing our actions to make a

270
00:09:03,764 --> 00:09:04,431
real difference.

271
00:09:04,431 --> 00:09:05,666
>> Thank you for helping San

272
00:09:05,666 --> 00:09:09,266
Diego take the lead in this.

273
00:09:11,772 --> 00:09:12,606
Thank you.

274
00:09:12,606 --> 00:09:12,939
>> Our next speaker is Max

275
00:09:12,939 --> 00:09:14,939
Schmidt.

276
00:09:27,855 --> 00:09:30,891
Max Schmidt your final slip to

277
00:09:30,891 --> 00:09:31,658
speak to items 31 s 505 before

278
00:09:31,658 --> 00:09:32,920
so you will have a total of

279
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:32,392
three minutes.

280
00:09:32,392 --> 00:09:34,392
>> Hi.

281
00:09:36,330 --> 00:09:37,310
I just wanted to say that I'm

282
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,310
strongly opposed to all of

283
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,803
these on new dates on we've got

284
00:09:42,803 --> 00:09:45,803
JUNE 22nd to 28th pollinator

285
00:09:47,274 --> 00:09:50,274
week JUNE 30th Shawna Anderson

286
00:09:52,146 --> 00:09:52,846
Day on JUNE AUGUST 26th Bird

287
00:09:52,846 --> 00:09:53,547
Rock Elementary Day JUNE 25th

288
00:09:53,547 --> 00:09:57,147
Mark Davis Day I'm opposed to

289
00:09:58,252 --> 00:09:58,886
all of those days strongly

290
00:09:58,886 --> 00:09:59,586
opposed to them very, very

291
00:09:59,586 --> 00:10:01,986
strongly, strongly opposed to

292
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:03,958
them.

293
00:10:03,958 --> 00:10:04,658
And the reason why is because

294
00:10:04,658 --> 00:10:07,658
all they are are distractions

295
00:10:08,529 --> 00:10:09,130
and cover ups for

296
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:11,130
the underground Catholic

297
00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:41,625
genocide to something or if I'm

298
00:10:43,397 --> 00:10:44,310
for something I'm about to say

299
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:44,699
the reason I'm opposed to

300
00:10:44,699 --> 00:10:47,699
certain something I know my

301
00:10:48,836 --> 00:10:49,470
rights and the reason I'm

302
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:52,470
opposed to these dates is

303
00:10:53,139 --> 00:10:53,874
because in my opinion with my

304
00:10:53,874 --> 00:10:54,541
First Amendment right I believe

305
00:10:54,541 --> 00:10:55,243
that they are cover up for a

306
00:10:55,243 --> 00:10:57,643
Catholic genocide happening in

307
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:00,581
San Diego where people are

308
00:11:00,581 --> 00:11:02,981
being driven completely crazy

309
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:05,620
and driven to suicide and and

310
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:06,220
driven to drugs by being

311
00:11:06,220 --> 00:11:06,921
constantly surrounded by

312
00:11:06,921 --> 00:11:09,321
Freemasons who are telepathic,

313
00:11:11,526 --> 00:11:12,126
who've done hermetic chants in

314
00:11:12,126 --> 00:11:12,827
Masonic Lodge to become

315
00:11:12,827 --> 00:11:14,827
telepathic Freemasons surround

316
00:11:17,632 --> 00:11:18,265
Catholics and speak gibberish

317
00:11:18,265 --> 00:11:18,933
nonstop while saying their

318
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:19,634
thoughts out loud to try to

319
00:11:19,634 --> 00:11:22,634
drive them crazy mentally ill

320
00:11:24,539 --> 00:11:25,272
suicidal into drugs And there's

321
00:11:25,272 --> 00:11:26,107
an underground genocide in that

322
00:11:26,107 --> 00:11:30,278
for city council to say like we

323
00:11:30,278 --> 00:11:30,912
support human rights and we

324
00:11:30,912 --> 00:11:31,612
support on all these human

325
00:11:31,612 --> 00:11:34,120
rights issues they're phonies

326
00:11:36,451 --> 00:11:37,151
if they support human rights

327
00:11:37,151 --> 00:11:37,718
then why are they covering up

328
00:11:37,718 --> 00:11:38,353
the Catholic genocide?

329
00:11:38,353 --> 00:11:41,953
And I know my first minute

330
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:42,857
rights and I feel a little

331
00:11:42,857 --> 00:11:43,491
frustrated I was interrupted

332
00:11:43,491 --> 00:11:44,158
because if I come here and

333
00:11:44,158 --> 00:11:47,795
spend my time and say if I'm

334
00:11:47,795 --> 00:11:48,462
opposed to an issue I have

335
00:11:48,462 --> 00:11:48,896
the right to say why I'm

336
00:11:48,896 --> 00:11:49,564
opposed to it.

337
00:11:49,564 --> 00:11:50,164
And I believe that these on

338
00:11:50,164 --> 00:11:53,164
dates are cover ups for

339
00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:54,469
Catholic genocide that's

340
00:11:54,469 --> 00:11:55,169
happening in San Diego.

341
00:11:55,169 --> 00:11:58,769
It's a miracle I'm even alive

342
00:12:00,410 --> 00:12:00,708
right now because after being

343
00:12:00,708 --> 00:12:01,276
made homeless in the dead of

344
00:12:01,276 --> 00:12:02,100
winter by liberals in

345
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,100
Cincinnati, I moved to San

346
00:12:06,815 --> 00:12:07,581
Diego to not freeze to death

347
00:12:07,581 --> 00:12:12,381
And I am for the past year when

348
00:12:12,787 --> 00:12:13,487
I go to job interviews they

349
00:12:13,487 --> 00:12:14,189
also speak gibberish to me and

350
00:12:14,189 --> 00:12:14,889
read my mind and mess with me.

351
00:12:14,889 --> 00:12:18,592
i can't get a job in San Diego

352
00:12:18,592 --> 00:12:19,327
and for the past year I've been

353
00:12:19,327 --> 00:12:20,280
followed around and had my head

354
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,280
completely mentally destroyed

355
00:12:24,865 --> 00:12:25,533
by people speaking gibberish

356
00:12:25,533 --> 00:12:26,267
around me nonstop saying my

357
00:12:26,267 --> 00:12:29,867
thoughts And there's a truth of

358
00:12:30,405 --> 00:12:30,738
genocide and a city council are

359
00:12:30,738 --> 00:12:31,406
phonies.

360
00:12:31,406 --> 00:12:31,740
They don't care about human

361
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:32,440
rights.

362
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,775
They're covering up a Catholic

363
00:12:33,775 --> 00:12:34,575
genocide in San Diego And I

364
00:12:34,575 --> 00:12:37,575
don't want to be interrupted

365
00:12:49,690 --> 00:12:51,690
again.

366
00:12:56,264 --> 00:13:00,234
So what you might I mean this

367
00:13:00,234 --> 00:13:01,200
works but the jurors I mean it

368
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,602
seems like the system is still

369
00:13:06,408 --> 00:13:08,408
glitching.

370
00:13:12,981 --> 00:13:15,981
No, you should do some

371
00:13:20,221 --> 00:13:22,221
housecleaning real quick.

372
00:13:37,472 --> 00:13:41,672
I brought my broom but we can

373
00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:49,500
hear you and they can hear So

374
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:51,500
it's cool.

375
00:13:55,357 --> 00:13:55,724
I'm live so we're getting it

376
00:13:55,724 --> 00:13:56,291
out there.

377
00:13:56,291 --> 00:13:56,960
You know what I mean?

378
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,960
This is not edited anyhow.

379
00:14:01,429 --> 00:14:02,164
It's good to see you guys on

380
00:14:02,164 --> 00:14:02,798
this level and like this is how

381
00:14:02,798 --> 00:14:03,465
it should be This close to

382
00:14:03,465 --> 00:14:06,465
the people know it terrifies

383
00:14:06,835 --> 00:14:07,502
you guys but you know to really

384
00:14:07,502 --> 00:14:08,203
feel like you're living and

385
00:14:08,203 --> 00:14:11,803
doing what the people need we

386
00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:13,410
should be on the same level and

387
00:14:13,410 --> 00:14:13,741
not you guys up on a diet that

388
00:14:13,741 --> 00:14:17,341
feels like you're trying to be

389
00:14:18,447 --> 00:14:22,470
above the people And so I'm

390
00:14:22,783 --> 00:14:23,552
going to connect 31 and 30 and

391
00:14:23,552 --> 00:14:24,286
500 and that's 504 So with

392
00:14:24,286 --> 00:14:27,886
the Pollinator week I think you

393
00:14:28,423 --> 00:14:29,158
guys you know there's always

394
00:14:29,158 --> 00:14:29,892
underlying things when you have

395
00:14:29,892 --> 00:14:30,625
these proclamations And again I

396
00:14:30,625 --> 00:14:34,225
feel like you should spend more

397
00:14:35,497 --> 00:14:36,231
time on the rest of the agenda

398
00:14:36,231 --> 00:14:36,899
as you do on proclamations You

399
00:14:36,899 --> 00:14:40,969
spend a very long time on it

400
00:14:40,969 --> 00:14:41,503
and then it's like we just rush

401
00:14:41,503 --> 00:14:41,937
through the rest of

402
00:14:41,937 --> 00:14:42,638
the business.

403
00:14:42,638 --> 00:14:43,304
But with this pollinator stuff

404
00:14:43,304 --> 00:14:46,608
I mean there are things that

405
00:14:46,608 --> 00:14:47,342
are affecting pollinators like

406
00:14:47,342 --> 00:14:51,542
five g like the chem trails and

407
00:14:52,881 --> 00:14:53,649
even things like Roundup that

408
00:14:53,649 --> 00:14:54,316
are being sprayed to you know,

409
00:14:54,316 --> 00:14:57,316
kill certain weeds and stuff

410
00:14:58,854 --> 00:14:59,588
but like there's an effect that

411
00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:00,388
this has on the environment.

412
00:15:00,388 --> 00:15:00,956
And so you know, when we have

413
00:15:00,956 --> 00:15:03,356
people that are into

414
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,260
environmental protection, I

415
00:15:05,260 --> 00:15:05,961
would think that they would be

416
00:15:05,961 --> 00:15:06,628
into geoengineering and making

417
00:15:06,628 --> 00:15:10,228
sure that you know, we don't

418
00:15:10,566 --> 00:15:11,266
have things like that that are

419
00:15:11,266 --> 00:15:11,834
not only detrimental to us as

420
00:15:11,834 --> 00:15:12,301
human beings but also

421
00:15:12,301 --> 00:15:14,301
the environment.

422
00:15:16,872 --> 00:15:17,573
And so you know, bees are

423
00:15:17,573 --> 00:15:18,273
heavily affected by five g and

424
00:15:18,273 --> 00:15:21,873
there aren't as many as there

425
00:15:22,745 --> 00:15:23,344
should be And this is why you

426
00:15:23,344 --> 00:15:24,460
know, the environment is

427
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:27,646
affected And so it's like you

428
00:15:27,749 --> 00:15:28,517
guys want to talk about climate

429
00:15:28,517 --> 00:15:29,510
change and things like that but

430
00:15:29,510 --> 00:15:31,451
you don't talk about

431
00:15:33,656 --> 00:15:34,423
the manmade weather warfare

432
00:15:34,423 --> 00:15:35,900
that is happening and that is

433
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,490
egregious because it's like

434
00:15:39,729 --> 00:15:40,396
that's affecting all of us And

435
00:15:40,396 --> 00:15:41,630
I just don't understand For

436
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:41,797
people who do claim to care

437
00:15:41,797 --> 00:15:44,797
about the environment then that

438
00:15:46,435 --> 00:15:47,169
stuff should bother you And

439
00:15:47,169 --> 00:15:47,903
it's a disgrace to say this is

440
00:15:47,903 --> 00:15:48,604
pollinators week when there are

441
00:15:48,604 --> 00:15:51,604
things that are happening that

442
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,775
are detrimental to them that

443
00:15:52,775 --> 00:15:53,509
could be stopped.

444
00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:54,176
It doesn't have to take place

445
00:15:54,176 --> 00:15:57,176
just like the storms didn't

446
00:15:58,447 --> 00:15:59,115
have to take place.

447
00:15:59,115 --> 00:15:59,849
But when there's you know,

448
00:15:59,849 --> 00:16:02,249
cloud seeding happening there's

449
00:16:04,887 --> 00:16:05,554
detriment that follows And so

450
00:16:05,554 --> 00:16:06,255
it's like if we don't, you

451
00:16:06,255 --> 00:16:06,856
know, acknowledge these things

452
00:16:06,856 --> 00:16:09,856
it's just I mean what's

453
00:16:10,526 --> 00:16:11,293
the point of doing this?

454
00:16:11,293 --> 00:16:11,961
And then for, you know,

455
00:16:11,961 --> 00:16:14,361
the librarian and for

456
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:18,660
the elementary you know what

457
00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:18,701
bothers me is there's a lot of

458
00:16:18,701 --> 00:16:19,402
sexualization of children

459
00:16:19,402 --> 00:16:19,835
happening in schools And that

460
00:16:19,835 --> 00:16:21,835
is the truth.

461
00:16:23,305 --> 00:16:23,973
It's happening with books and

462
00:16:23,973 --> 00:16:24,273
you know, under the guise of

463
00:16:24,273 --> 00:16:26,273
pride.

464
00:16:28,444 --> 00:16:29,212
But this is very dangerous

465
00:16:29,212 --> 00:16:29,945
because I tell you guys all

466
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:34,145
the time it leads to a grooming

467
00:16:35,184 --> 00:16:35,885
type of thing that leads kids

468
00:16:35,885 --> 00:16:36,552
to being victims of sexual

469
00:16:36,552 --> 00:16:37,220
assault because an adult can

470
00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:41,420
come up to them and talk to

471
00:16:41,491 --> 00:16:42,910
them about things that they

472
00:16:42,910 --> 00:16:42,825
shouldn't know about and

473
00:16:42,825 --> 00:16:43,259
shouldn't be learning in school

474
00:16:43,259 --> 00:16:43,893
even pronouns.

475
00:16:43,893 --> 00:16:46,293
That's not something that

476
00:16:47,330 --> 00:16:48,640
children should be learning.

477
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:48,764
You know, they should be

478
00:16:48,764 --> 00:16:49,432
learning things that are going

479
00:16:49,432 --> 00:16:50,132
to help them in life And it

480
00:16:50,132 --> 00:16:53,732
feels like, you know, kids are

481
00:16:54,604 --> 00:16:55,138
failing because of curriculum

482
00:16:55,138 --> 00:16:55,972
and stuff like this.

483
00:16:55,972 --> 00:16:59,575
So I just feel like if you guys

484
00:16:59,575 --> 00:17:00,276
want to sit here and be so

485
00:17:00,276 --> 00:17:00,910
happy about things, we need to

486
00:17:00,910 --> 00:17:01,377
talk about the underlying

487
00:17:01,377 --> 00:17:01,811
things as well.

488
00:17:01,811 --> 00:17:03,811
>> Thank you.

489
00:17:05,114 --> 00:17:05,918
That does conclude your time.

490
00:17:05,918 --> 00:17:06,248
That concludes in-person public

491
00:17:06,248 --> 00:17:06,916
comment.

492
00:17:06,916 --> 00:17:09,916
I've started the five minute

493
00:17:11,521 --> 00:17:11,820
timer in council in committee

494
00:17:11,820 --> 00:17:12,555
room.

495
00:17:12,555 --> 00:17:13,289
We will now turn to the virtual

496
00:17:13,289 --> 00:17:16,289
queue in which there are

497
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:17,860
currently three participants

498
00:17:17,860 --> 00:17:18,595
requesting to speak.

499
00:17:18,595 --> 00:17:20,995
Please state which proclamation

500
00:17:23,533 --> 00:17:23,800
item items you wish to speak

501
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,701
to.

502
00:17:24,701 --> 00:17:28,301
We'll go first to caller with

503
00:17:29,339 --> 00:17:30,105
the last four digits 8700 if

504
00:17:30,105 --> 00:17:33,105
you can please unmute please

505
00:17:35,111 --> 00:17:35,478
proceed.

506
00:17:35,478 --> 00:17:36,246
Thank you.

507
00:17:36,246 --> 00:17:39,846
By the way I was applauding

508
00:17:42,180 --> 00:17:42,419
with everyone I'm going to do

509
00:17:42,419 --> 00:17:44,419
all of them.

510
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:47,590
A deputy city clerk Hello?

511
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:47,991
I'm sorry.

512
00:17:47,991 --> 00:17:49,991
I'm sorry.

513
00:17:54,197 --> 00:17:54,898
What was your question And no

514
00:17:54,898 --> 00:17:58,498
question a deputy city Clerk I

515
00:17:59,702 --> 00:18:00,203
will be doing all items.

516
00:18:00,203 --> 00:18:00,503
>> All items.

517
00:18:00,503 --> 00:18:00,870
Okay.

518
00:18:00,870 --> 00:18:01,504
Thank you.

519
00:18:01,504 --> 00:18:02,720
You'll have three minutes.

520
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:02,772
I'm sorry about that.

521
00:18:02,772 --> 00:18:06,376
I think I was kind of muffled.

522
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:06,676
Okay, so let's start with Bird

523
00:18:06,676 --> 00:18:08,676
Rock.

524
00:18:12,148 --> 00:18:13,160
Oh, my GOD.

525
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:13,883
>> I just Those four faces.

526
00:18:13,883 --> 00:18:17,483
Those faces of the children in

527
00:18:18,988 --> 00:18:19,389
the song I mean, this is

528
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:19,923
the beauty.

529
00:18:19,923 --> 00:18:22,323
This is the beauty.

530
00:18:24,294 --> 00:18:24,995
This is just part of the whole

531
00:18:24,995 --> 00:18:25,628
circle And I just Thank you.

532
00:18:25,628 --> 00:18:26,329
>> Thank you, You guys and

533
00:18:26,329 --> 00:18:29,929
gals, you were just so great.

534
00:18:30,834 --> 00:18:31,501
You just touched my heart.

535
00:18:31,501 --> 00:18:34,501
I love you so much.

536
00:18:35,739 --> 00:18:36,473
And then on the stage I just

537
00:18:36,473 --> 00:18:37,207
want to say that the very first

538
00:18:37,207 --> 00:18:40,807
speaker who spoke on that and

539
00:18:42,712 --> 00:18:43,413
he just said it so eloquently

540
00:18:43,413 --> 00:18:43,713
and I wanted to thank him for

541
00:18:43,713 --> 00:18:44,448
that.

542
00:18:44,448 --> 00:18:48,480
And Mark Davis, thank you for

543
00:18:48,518 --> 00:18:49,219

I celebrate you and I thank you

547
00:18:54,624 --> 00:18:57,624
for making the world better.

548
00:18:58,962 --> 00:18:59,662
Now here's the main one for me

549
00:18:59,662 --> 00:19:00,297
today and that is number three

550
00:19:00,297 --> 00:19:02,697
which is pollinator week.

551
00:19:04,835 --> 00:19:05,535
So here we go enabling

552
00:19:05,535 --> 00:19:07,935
the reproduction of flowering

553
00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:12,420
plants standing well into

554
00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:14,442
the city usa affiliate.

555
00:19:17,470 --> 00:19:17,481
Love, love, love The mayor's

556
00:19:17,481 --> 00:19:18,115
Bonner Pledge.

557
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:21,115
Thank you for that, Mayor.

558
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,720
One of the pollinator year

559
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,320
heroes to me is director of

560
00:19:28,992 --> 00:19:29,759
the World Beat Cultural Center

561
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:30,193
in San Diego's Balboa Park with

562
00:19:30,193 --> 00:19:32,193
Kate Cheatham.

563
00:19:34,964 --> 00:19:35,832
Thank you Makita.

564
00:19:35,832 --> 00:19:36,600
You do beautiful things for San

565
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Diego and you love our

566
00:19:40,871 --> 00:19:41,171
pollinators.

567
00:19:41,171 --> 00:19:41,938
Okay.

568
00:19:41,938 --> 00:19:42,539
And then lastly I want to

569
00:19:42,539 --> 00:19:44,939
suggest that you Google

570
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:47,711
the image of bees

571
00:19:47,711 --> 00:19:48,344
affectionately called pollen

572
00:19:48,344 --> 00:19:50,744
pants where they carry

573
00:19:54,284 --> 00:19:54,685
the pollen in the nectar back

574
00:19:54,685 --> 00:19:55,352
to the hive.

575
00:19:55,352 --> 00:19:58,352
It's just an amazing thing.

576
00:19:59,957 --> 00:20:02,957
It's actually the little bags

577
00:20:05,796 --> 00:20:06,463
are woven with hair and in just

578
00:20:06,463 --> 00:20:07,364
it's just an amazing thing.

579
00:20:07,364 --> 00:20:11,564
So I celebrate with all of you

580
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:12,702
a great job in moving in

581
00:20:12,702 --> 00:20:13,403
adapting this morning and

582
00:20:13,403 --> 00:20:17,300
looking forward to the rest of

583
00:20:17,874 --> 00:20:18,275
the day and live to evolve.

584
00:20:18,275 --> 00:20:19,142
Thank you.

585
00:20:19,142 --> 00:20:20,577
Our next speaker is Blair

586
00:20:20,577 --> 00:20:22,577
Beekman.

587
00:20:27,984 --> 00:20:28,384
Please on you.

588
00:20:28,384 --> 00:20:28,819
All right.

589
00:20:28,819 --> 00:20:29,520
We're Beekman.

590
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,920
Happy Tuesday morning to

591
00:20:32,823 --> 00:20:33,724
everyone.

592
00:20:33,724 --> 00:20:34,291
I wanted to speak on item 30.

593
00:20:34,291 --> 00:20:34,592
Just one item today.

594
00:20:34,592 --> 00:20:35,192
Okay.

595
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:37,592
You'll have one minute.

596
00:20:38,996 --> 00:20:39,865
Thank you.

597
00:20:39,865 --> 00:20:40,631
>> Yeah, I just wanted to thank

598
00:20:40,631 --> 00:20:44,231
yourselves for this item to be

599
00:20:45,268 --> 00:20:46,237
thankful to our butterflies and

600
00:20:46,237 --> 00:20:50,437
bees is a good thing and it's

601
00:20:51,409 --> 00:20:51,943
nice to have to have such a

602
00:20:51,943 --> 00:20:52,342
proclamation for our

603
00:20:52,342 --> 00:20:54,342
pollinators.

604
00:20:57,381 --> 00:20:58,149
Thank you.

605
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:58,849
Thank you For words of the ira

606
00:20:58,849 --> 00:20:59,550
in stressing the importance of

607
00:20:59,550 --> 00:21:03,530
all the things we have to

608
00:21:03,530 --> 00:21:03,787
consider so we can continue to

609
00:21:03,787 --> 00:21:07,387
have our flowers and an overall

610
00:21:08,926 --> 00:21:09,627
good luck that as we are all

611
00:21:09,627 --> 00:21:10,294
trying to understand you know

612
00:21:10,294 --> 00:21:12,694
different levels and forces

613
00:21:14,264 --> 00:21:15,320
that kind of hinder us and

614
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:15,900
conflict with us as we try to

615
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:20,100
work on our issues, we try to

616
00:21:21,472 --> 00:21:21,807
find the constructive ness out

617
00:21:21,807 --> 00:21:22,507
of it.

618
00:21:22,507 --> 00:21:23,140
Identifying the weaknesses is

619
00:21:23,140 --> 00:21:23,841
important but then finding

620
00:21:23,841 --> 00:21:26,241
the positive constructive ness

621
00:21:26,711 --> 00:21:27,745
out of it.

622
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:28,446
Good luck how we can do that in

623
00:21:28,446 --> 00:21:29,800
the same public dialog I think

624
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,680
that can be a good thing.

625
00:21:33,383 --> 00:21:33,684
I try to practice how to do

626
00:21:33,684 --> 00:21:34,352
that.

627
00:21:34,352 --> 00:21:35,520
Good luck from the negative

628
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,652
Speak of the positive it makes

629
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:39,891
for good meeting.

630
00:21:39,891 --> 00:21:40,291
>> Thank you.

631
00:21:40,291 --> 00:21:40,992
Thank you.

632
00:21:40,992 --> 00:21:43,392
Next speakers Kathleen Lippert

633
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:51,502
please begin.

634
00:21:51,502 --> 00:21:52,202
>> Thank you.

635
00:21:52,202 --> 00:21:52,870
Good morning Council And thank

636
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:55,870
you for this proclamation of

637
00:21:57,308 --> 00:21:57,608
the colony for the pollinators

638
00:21:57,608 --> 00:21:58,275
.

639
00:21:58,275 --> 00:21:58,642
I wanted to speak about

640
00:21:58,642 --> 00:21:59,277
phenology.

641
00:21:59,277 --> 00:21:59,844
It's the timing of endemic

642
00:21:59,844 --> 00:22:02,244
plant species and it's

643
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:04,315
essential to understanding

644
00:22:04,315 --> 00:22:05,150
their growth cycles and which

645
00:22:05,150 --> 00:22:08,150
have evolved to be compatible

646
00:22:09,854 --> 00:22:10,587
with flowering fruiting plants

647
00:22:10,587 --> 00:22:10,922
,bird migrations and endemic

648
00:22:10,922 --> 00:22:11,623
insects.

649
00:22:11,623 --> 00:22:15,223
If you have a pollinator with

650
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,427
nothing to pollinate

651
00:22:16,427 --> 00:22:17,270
the pollinator dies fruiting

652
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:19,427
and flowering and native

653
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:22,934
natural environments evolve to

654
00:22:22,934 --> 00:22:23,267
be compatible so they can all

655
00:22:23,267 --> 00:22:24,200
survive.

656
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,200
That process is disrupted when

657
00:22:28,172 --> 00:22:28,806
endemic insect and species are

658
00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:31,206
replaced with things like

659
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:34,612
marijuana and hemp growth that

660
00:22:34,612 --> 00:22:35,345
are not native.

661
00:22:35,345 --> 00:22:35,947
They consume massive amounts of

662
00:22:35,947 --> 00:22:36,347
water and are grown with

663
00:22:36,347 --> 00:22:38,347
pesticides.

664
00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:40,819
Insecticides and herbicides

665
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:41,385
that will poison native plants,

666
00:22:41,385 --> 00:22:43,385
insects and wildlife.

667
00:22:46,591 --> 00:22:47,225
Those who care enough to

668
00:22:47,225 --> 00:22:47,926
proclaim the importance of

669
00:22:47,926 --> 00:22:50,326
pollinators for a proclamation

670
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:53,231
should recognize these harms

671
00:22:53,231 --> 00:22:55,631
address reference to something

672
00:22:57,368 --> 00:22:58,136
that does conclude your time.

673
00:22:58,136 --> 00:23:01,136
Our next speaker is Tony.

674
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:15,854
Please begin Just Tony we can't

675
00:23:15,854 --> 00:23:18,254
hear you very well.

676
00:23:21,259 --> 00:23:21,593
We can hear like a tiny little

677
00:23:21,593 --> 00:23:22,527
bit.

678
00:23:22,527 --> 00:23:26,727
Can you turn up the volume or

679
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:29,701
something That's better.

680
00:23:29,701 --> 00:23:33,301
>> You got to go into morning's

681
00:23:33,972 --> 00:23:34,672
council.

682
00:23:34,672 --> 00:23:35,440
How are you doing today?

683
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,640
I'm just calling to say that I.

684
00:23:40,912 --> 00:23:41,580
I support the people which and

685
00:23:41,580 --> 00:23:44,580
all the initiatives to bring

686
00:23:45,584 --> 00:23:46,284
attention and highlight all

687
00:23:46,284 --> 00:23:46,751
the actions in support of bees

688
00:23:46,751 --> 00:23:48,751
and pollination.

689
00:23:51,188 --> 00:23:51,923
Pollination plays an essential

690
00:23:51,923 --> 00:23:52,623
role Food production supporting

691
00:23:52,623 --> 00:23:56,223
local bees that are needed to

692
00:23:57,395 --> 00:23:58,129
the area is super important.

693
00:23:58,129 --> 00:23:58,797
Honey bees often get all

694
00:23:58,797 --> 00:24:02,397
the credit and they get all

695
00:24:03,936 --> 00:24:04,703
the glory But we have we have

696
00:24:04,703 --> 00:24:05,404
to be and a number of other

697
00:24:05,404 --> 00:24:08,404
native bees that actually grow

698
00:24:09,541 --> 00:24:10,307
inside the ground And the more

699
00:24:10,307 --> 00:24:13,907
that we expand the cities and

700
00:24:15,446 --> 00:24:16,114
the more that we are able for

701
00:24:16,114 --> 00:24:16,848
everything in the country of

702
00:24:16,848 --> 00:24:19,848
everything we're getting rid of

703
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,320
the spaces where the growth is

704
00:24:27,659 --> 00:24:28,426
Not all bees burrow in hives in

705
00:24:28,426 --> 00:24:28,927
big colonies like that We want

706
00:24:28,927 --> 00:24:31,327
to be honey bees.

707
00:24:33,365 --> 00:24:34,990
You want to know on that side.

708
00:24:34,990 --> 00:24:34,500
>> Thank you for your time.

709
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:35,200
Thank you.

710
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,200
That does conclude your time.

711
00:24:39,204 --> 00:24:39,838
I will note for the record

712
00:24:39,838 --> 00:24:40,572
the five minute timer has

713
00:24:40,572 --> 00:24:41,600
concluded with one speaker left

714
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:41,640
in the queue.

715
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:41,940
No other speakers will be

716
00:24:41,940 --> 00:24:43,940
taken.

717
00:24:50,148 --> 00:24:50,816
Natalie Raskin Please begin.

718
00:24:50,816 --> 00:24:51,516
>> Hey good morning.

719
00:24:51,516 --> 00:24:52,160
Thank you for having me today.

720
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,160
It's Natalie Rush.

721
00:24:55,887 --> 00:24:56,555
I just wanted to comment on

722
00:24:56,555 --> 00:24:57,289
the Bee the Pollinator week.

723
00:24:57,289 --> 00:25:00,289
It's contradictory that we have

724
00:25:01,159 --> 00:25:01,894
this week but yet we still

725
00:25:01,894 --> 00:25:02,594
spray our skies with chemicals.

726
00:25:02,594 --> 00:25:06,194
I live in a big apartment

727
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:08,267
complex and I even have

728
00:25:08,267 --> 00:25:08,901
pictures where they come in

729
00:25:08,901 --> 00:25:11,901
every summer and spray all

730
00:25:13,972 --> 00:25:14,673
the plants and we have massive

731
00:25:14,673 --> 00:25:15,140
amount of dead bees in

732
00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:15,707
the parking lot.

733
00:25:15,707 --> 00:25:16,408
So we're going to have

734
00:25:16,408 --> 00:25:19,408
pollinator week where we also

735
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:20,679
going to do to protect them in

736
00:25:20,679 --> 00:25:23,679
areas such as the apartment

737
00:25:24,949 --> 00:25:25,618
complex who's using what

738
00:25:25,618 --> 00:25:28,618
chemicals to kill these bees

739
00:25:31,757 --> 00:25:32,624
and why we spray our skies.

740
00:25:32,624 --> 00:25:32,992
They want to see contrails or

741
00:25:32,992 --> 00:25:33,459
contrails?

742
00:25:33,459 --> 00:25:35,859
Which one is it?

743
00:25:37,228 --> 00:25:37,997
Because when we spray the skies

744
00:25:37,997 --> 00:25:40,997
we're spraying our children to

745
00:25:43,369 --> 00:25:43,836
fix.

746
00:25:43,836 --> 00:25:44,469
>> Thank you.

747
00:25:44,469 --> 00:25:45,170
That concludes the public

748
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:47,570
comment on proclamation items.

749
00:25:48,874 --> 00:25:49,541
All right.

750
00:25:49,541 --> 00:25:50,276
Thank you, Deputy Clerk I'll

751
00:25:50,276 --> 00:25:53,276
kick off council member comment

752
00:25:55,648 --> 00:25:56,348
and move the proclamation Item

753
00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:57,820
three Pollinator work As we've

754
00:25:57,820 --> 00:26:00,820
heard in partnership with Mayor

755
00:26:01,921 --> 00:26:02,554
Gloria, this proclamation

756
00:26:02,554 --> 00:26:03,255
sustains the buzz that San

757
00:26:03,255 --> 00:26:03,989
Diego values its environmental

758
00:26:03,989 --> 00:26:07,589
impact as a designated bee city

759
00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:09,128
pollinators are proof that

760
00:26:09,128 --> 00:26:09,829
sometimes even the smallest

761
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:10,396
constituents have the biggest

762
00:26:10,396 --> 00:26:11,970
impact And without our

763
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:13,497
pollinators and native plants

764
00:26:14,433 --> 00:26:15,101
that go hand in hand to support

765
00:26:15,101 --> 00:26:15,768
our biodiversity, our local

766
00:26:15,768 --> 00:26:18,768
food system and economy, San

767
00:26:19,572 --> 00:26:20,272
Diego would not have

768
00:26:20,272 --> 00:26:20,840
the vibrant ecosystem that we

769
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,440

Also just want to recognize a

979
00:32:31,946 --> 00:32:32,580

Hills Native Garden It with

982
00:32:37,850 --> 00:32:40,685
the work of your office and

983
00:32:41,257 --> 00:32:41,956
the mayor's office it has been

984
00:32:41,956 --> 00:32:44,956
incorporated into the city of

985
00:32:45,260 --> 00:32:46,127
San Diego's Bee City program

986
00:32:46,127 --> 00:32:49,898
And so it is just such a

987
00:32:49,898 --> 00:32:50,498
beautiful place And I say you

988
00:32:50,498 --> 00:32:51,232
know we talk about

989
00:32:51,232 --> 00:32:54,232
the resiliency of District four

990
00:32:54,903 --> 00:32:55,770
that Native Garden is actually

991
00:32:55,770 --> 00:32:56,304
built on an old landfill And so

992
00:32:56,304 --> 00:32:58,704
you can only imagine

993
00:32:59,706 --> 00:33:00,575
the challenges that go along

994
00:33:00,575 --> 00:33:03,812
with that as you can only, you

995
00:33:03,812 --> 00:33:04,345
know, penetrate to certain

996
00:33:04,345 --> 00:33:05,180
levels and degrees.

997
00:33:05,180 --> 00:33:09,150
And I tell you they have really

998
00:33:09,150 --> 00:33:09,884
found a way to to make that

999
00:33:09,884 --> 00:33:13,484
into a view to beautiful space.

1000
00:33:13,587 --> 00:33:14,289
Not only do they have to be

1001
00:33:14,289 --> 00:33:14,989
part of the bee garden that

1002
00:33:14,989 --> 00:33:17,992
they that they have out there

1003
00:33:17,992 --> 00:33:18,693

1005
00:33:19,461 --> 00:33:20,227

anchor in our community and

1044
00:34:30,365 --> 00:34:33,365
again special places where we

1045
00:34:34,502 --> 00:34:35,203
open the doors and just create

1046
00:34:35,203 --> 00:34:35,637
fellowship and opportunity for

1047
00:34:35,637 --> 00:34:36,237

1054
00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:45,480

00:36:18,740 --> 00:36:18,841
All right coworkers.

1101
00:36:18,841 --> 00:36:19,875
It might have been nice if you

1102
00:36:19,875 --> 00:36:24,675
let me know that I was going to

1103
00:36:26,949 --> 00:36:27,278
be speaking today ahead of time

1104
00:36:27,278 --> 00:36:27,917
.

1105
00:36:27,917 --> 00:36:30,317
Know our libraries are

1106
00:36:31,988 --> 00:36:32,621
definitely are hubs to our

1107
00:36:32,621 --> 00:36:33,188
communities more than just

1108
00:36:33,188 --> 00:36:35,188
places for educational

1109
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:37,860
materials but they are

1110
00:36:37,860 --> 00:36:40,860
community centers and I'm very

1111
00:36:41,898 --> 00:36:42,765
happy and proud to have been

1112
00:36:42,765 --> 00:36:46,468
able to work in one and and

1113
00:36:46,468 --> 00:36:47,336
serve a community in the city.

1114
00:36:47,336 --> 00:36:50,973
And I want to remind you guys,

1115
00:36:50,973 --> 00:36:51,673
a dollar for dollar investments

1116
00:36:51,673 --> 00:36:52,375
in libraries is probably more

1117
00:36:52,375 --> 00:36:54,775
effective than fighting crime

1118
00:36:55,611 --> 00:36:56,545
than investment in police.

1119
00:36:56,545 --> 00:36:59,545
>> So thank you for restoring

1120
00:36:59,948 --> 00:37:00,449
as much of the library funding

1121
00:37:00,449 --> 00:37:02,849

1156
00:38:14,324 --> 00:38:15,191
We're going to pause briefly to

1157
00:38:15,191 --> 00:38:18,128
go out in the chamber to take

1158
00:38:18,128 --> 00:38:18,828

elevators are in fact working

1167
00:38:36,846 --> 00:38:37,347

1168
00:38:37,347 --> 00:38:38,480

remain in effect without any

1209
00:50:40,507 --> 00:50:43,507

maximum of three minutes.

1272
00:52:31,786 --> 00:52:32,420
Hi I just wanted to use my

1273
00:52:32,420 --> 00:52:34,820
First Amendment right here

1274
00:52:36,924 --> 00:52:40,495
today at City Hall and say that

1275
00:52:40,495 --> 00:52:43,495
with my First Amendment right

1276
00:52:44,966 --> 00:52:49,166
in my opinion I am opposed to

1277
00:52:49,836 --> 00:52:50,171
all of the consent agenda items

1278
00:52:50,171 --> 00:52:50,905
.

1279
00:52:50,905 --> 00:52:51,706
I'm opposed to every single one

1280
00:52:51,706 --> 00:52:54,706
with my First Amendment right

1281
00:52:55,677 --> 00:53:00,114
and in my opinion and I want to

1282
00:53:00,114 --> 00:53:01,820
say the reason why the reason

1283
00:53:01,820 --> 00:53:04,952
why I'm opposed to all of these

1284
00:53:04,952 --> 00:53:08,552
items is because I believe that

1285
00:53:09,457 --> 00:53:12,457
every thing should be stopped

1286
00:53:14,620 --> 00:53:17,620
and that the city government

1287
00:53:18,366 --> 00:53:19,670
should actually be shut down

1288
00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:22,670
until more awareness is drawn

1289
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:23,872
about the Catholic genocide and

1290
00:53:23,872 --> 00:53:27,800
if I'm going to get in trouble

1291
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:27,742
for not staying on topic one of

1292
00:53:27,742 --> 00:53:28,410
the item 100 is appointments to

1293
00:53:28,410 --> 00:53:30,810
the Homeless Revenue account

1294
00:53:31,980 --> 00:53:32,781
Citizens Oversight Committee.

1295
00:53:32,781 --> 00:53:35,781
I think the Homeless Revenue

1296
00:53:36,818 --> 00:53:37,519
Oversight Committee should be

1297
00:53:37,519 --> 00:53:40,519
shut down until awareness is

1298
00:53:42,123 --> 00:53:42,557
drawn on homeless Catholic

1299
00:53:42,557 --> 00:53:43,491
people are.

1300
00:53:43,491 --> 00:53:46,761
You can call it death by

1301
00:53:46,761 --> 00:53:47,394
gibberish where Freemasons

1302
00:53:47,394 --> 00:53:49,394
surround homeless Catholic

1303
00:53:51,566 --> 00:53:52,233
people and speak gibberish

1304
00:53:52,233 --> 00:53:55,833
nonstop to the point they go

1305
00:53:56,204 --> 00:53:56,905
mentally ill commit suicide or

1306
00:53:56,905 --> 00:54:00,505
turn to drugs and it's an

1307
00:54:00,675 --> 00:54:01,476
underground hidden genocide and

1308
00:54:01,476 --> 00:54:02,210
I want to say the reason why

1309
00:54:02,210 --> 00:54:05,810
I'm opposed these items and why

1310
00:54:05,913 --> 00:54:10,113
it's such a big deal is because

1311
00:54:10,652 --> 00:54:11,353
homeless people are dying and

1312
00:54:11,353 --> 00:54:13,353
they're being intentionally

1313
00:54:15,323 --> 00:54:17,323
driven to suicide,

1314
00:54:19,728 --> 00:54:20,428
intentionally driven to drugs

1315
00:54:20,428 --> 00:54:22,828
by armed telepathic people

1316
00:54:24,866 --> 00:54:25,467
surrounding them nonstop

1317
00:54:25,467 --> 00:54:27,467
surrounding them at

1318
00:54:29,137 --> 00:54:29,804
the homeless shelter

1319
00:54:29,804 --> 00:54:30,505
surrounding them and public

1320
00:54:30,505 --> 00:54:32,905
transit surrounding them every

1321
00:54:34,409 --> 00:54:35,110
single where every single place

1322
00:54:35,110 --> 00:54:38,110
they go and speaking gibberish

1323
00:54:39,470 --> 00:54:39,781
so that their mind is so that

1324
00:54:39,781 --> 00:54:40,215
they their mind is constantly

1325
00:54:40,215 --> 00:54:42,215
going insane.

1326
00:54:44,186 --> 00:54:44,986
It's imagine being forced to

1327
00:54:44,986 --> 00:54:47,986
wear headphones that all you

1328
00:54:48,857 --> 00:54:49,524
hear is gibberish all day long

1329
00:54:49,524 --> 00:54:51,924
through these headphones and

1330
00:54:53,228 --> 00:54:53,929
then half the time if you can

1331
00:54:53,929 --> 00:54:54,630
make out any of the gibberish

1332
00:54:54,630 --> 00:54:57,630
it's saying your thoughts out

1333
00:54:58,132 --> 00:54:58,800
loud.

1334
00:54:58,800 --> 00:54:59,568
Imagine how that could drive

1335
00:54:59,568 --> 00:55:02,568
someone to suicide or drug

1336
00:55:02,704 --> 00:55:03,372
addiction.

1337
00:55:03,372 --> 00:55:05,772
There is an underground

1338
00:55:07,542 --> 00:55:08,176
genocide on in San Diego that's

1339
00:55:08,176 --> 00:55:11,176
being covered up and city

1340
00:55:12,180 --> 00:55:12,847
council are phonies.

1341
00:55:12,847 --> 00:55:15,847
They don't care about human

1342
00:55:17,486 --> 00:55:18,120
rights because they know about

1343
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:18,787
this underground genocide.

1344
00:55:18,787 --> 00:55:19,621
And the reason I know why is

1345
00:55:19,621 --> 00:55:23,124
because when I come to city

1346
00:55:23,124 --> 00:55:23,859
hall, city council members are

1347
00:55:23,859 --> 00:55:24,526
actually intentionally speaking

1348
00:55:24,526 --> 00:55:28,126
gibberish to try to drive me

1349
00:55:28,196 --> 00:55:28,830
crazy And they know they're

1350
00:55:28,830 --> 00:55:31,830
guilty and I'm not stupid.

1351
00:55:32,367 --> 00:55:33,234
Stop targeting Catholics.

1352
00:55:33,234 --> 00:55:33,602
>> Shame on all of you.

1353
00:55:33,602 --> 00:55:34,269
Thank you.

1354
00:55:34,269 --> 00:55:34,636
That does conclude your time

1355
00:55:34,636 --> 00:55:36,636
Allegedly.

1356
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,840
Audra, please come forward and

1357
00:55:40,876 --> 00:55:44,476
state the items you'd like to

1358
00:55:45,481 --> 00:55:46,248
speak to.

1359
00:55:46,248 --> 00:55:46,615
We'll cover as much as

1360
00:55:46,615 --> 00:55:46,915
possible.

1361
00:55:46,915 --> 00:55:48,915
Okay.

1362
00:55:51,654 --> 00:55:53,856
The three minutes listed items

1363
00:55:53,856 --> 00:55:54,490
5050 to 100 as 501 as 502 and

1364
00:55:54,490 --> 00:55:54,790
that's 503 on your speaker

1365
00:55:54,790 --> 00:55:55,224
slip.

1366
00:55:55,224 --> 00:55:55,658
That's right.

1367
00:55:55,658 --> 00:55:57,558
Three minutes.

1368
00:55:57,558 --> 00:55:57,960
Let's do this.

1369
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:58,661
All right.

1370
00:55:58,661 --> 00:56:01,661
Fun fact flies also pollinate.

1371
00:56:02,765 --> 00:56:03,632
So that's interesting.

1372
00:56:03,632 --> 00:56:04,198
You MAY not want to kill them.

1373
00:56:04,198 --> 00:56:04,867
You know what I mean?

1374
00:56:04,867 --> 00:56:07,803
It's like they also you know

1375
00:56:07,803 --> 00:56:08,571
there's a reason why they go

1376
00:56:08,571 --> 00:56:09,471
after any who So yes, I'll

1377
00:56:09,471 --> 00:56:13,710
continue to say this with your

1378
00:56:13,142 --> 00:56:13,842
software agreements I feel like

1379
00:56:13,842 --> 00:56:17,460
it is very negligent when we

1380
00:56:17,460 --> 00:56:17,746
are engaging with these

1381
00:56:17,746 --> 00:56:18,380
monopolies that have all of

1382
00:56:18,380 --> 00:56:20,380
the government information

1383
00:56:22,510 --> 00:56:22,651
Again because it seems

1384
00:56:22,651 --> 00:56:23,419
convenient but it's very

1385
00:56:23,419 --> 00:56:26,419
dangerous with the people who

1386
00:56:27,256 --> 00:56:29,656
are have nefarious intentions

1387
00:56:31,660 --> 00:56:32,427
like BlackRock and Vanguard who

1388
00:56:32,427 --> 00:56:32,961
are you know, just being given

1389
00:56:32,961 --> 00:56:35,361
our data it's crazy.

1390
00:56:36,132 --> 00:56:36,799
>> Nobody cares.

1391
00:56:36,799 --> 00:56:37,399
And then there's appointment

1392
00:56:37,399 --> 00:56:39,799
for the homeless revenue

1393
00:56:41,203 --> 00:56:41,971
account.

1394
00:56:41,971 --> 00:56:42,638
I feel like you should rename

1395
00:56:42,638 --> 00:56:43,239
that because it sounds like

1396
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,639
you're making money off

1397
00:56:46,342 --> 00:56:47,276
the homeless.

1398
00:56:47,276 --> 00:56:48,177
I mean you do but I feel like

1399
00:56:48,177 --> 00:56:51,380
it needs to be more along

1400
00:56:51,380 --> 00:56:51,980
the lines of the you know,

1401
00:56:51,980 --> 00:56:54,380
homelessness o t revenue

1402
00:56:56,218 --> 00:56:56,852
account because it really does

1403
00:56:56,852 --> 00:56:57,153
it doesn't it doesn't look

1404
00:56:57,153 --> 00:56:57,887
good.

1405
00:56:57,887 --> 00:57:00,887
But I guess let's be

1406
00:57:01,323 --> 00:57:02,580
transparent with the people so

1407
00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:02,757
that they know you know what I

1408
00:57:02,757 --> 00:57:05,127
mean that they're you know a

1409
00:57:05,127 --> 00:57:05,994
hot commodity because they make

1410
00:57:05,994 --> 00:57:10,166
you a lot of money And with

1411
00:57:10,166 --> 00:57:10,867
this electric bike stuff I just

1412
00:57:10,867 --> 00:57:11,501
feel like eventually these are

1413
00:57:11,501 --> 00:57:11,801
going to be regulated like

1414
00:57:11,801 --> 00:57:13,801
cars.

1415
00:57:15,238 --> 00:57:15,938
So you're going to need a

1416
00:57:15,938 --> 00:57:16,372
license and insurance and all

1417
00:57:16,372 --> 00:57:18,372
of that stuff.

1418
00:57:19,375 --> 00:57:20,143
So I mean people Sean, that

1419
00:57:20,143 --> 00:57:20,977
bike you know what I mean?

1420
00:57:20,977 --> 00:57:21,744
You're going to have to get a

1421
00:57:21,744 --> 00:57:24,413
specific license for it and

1422
00:57:24,413 --> 00:57:25,214
children will too.

1423
00:57:25,214 --> 00:57:28,214
So it's interesting And then

1424
00:57:29,152 --> 00:57:29,819
with this emergency ambulance

1425
00:57:29,819 --> 00:57:30,520
transportation billing so I

1426
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,520
understand this is for billing

1427
00:57:34,423 --> 00:57:35,124
but ambulances like full

1428
00:57:35,124 --> 00:57:37,524
ambulance are ambulances that

1429
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:39,696
are picking people up And I

1430
00:57:39,696 --> 00:57:42,696
would like to specify ambulance

1431
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:44,600
number 36 that is engaged in

1432
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
drugging people Falck also

1433
00:57:49,105 --> 00:57:49,906
manufacturers some of these

1434
00:57:49,906 --> 00:57:54,106
drugs that they use to kind of

1435
00:57:54,143 --> 00:57:54,810
sedate people and it is

1436
00:57:54,810 --> 00:57:55,511
something that is known that

1437
00:57:55,511 --> 00:57:58,511
happens in ambulances not just

1438
00:57:58,847 --> 00:57:59,515
in fog but across the nation

1439
00:57:59,515 --> 00:58:00,316
and probably the world where

1440
00:58:00,316 --> 00:58:03,916
people who get sedated also get

1441
00:58:04,554 --> 00:58:05,421
sexually assaulted.

1442
00:58:05,421 --> 00:58:06,289
And Andrea Epping had a rape

1443
00:58:06,289 --> 00:58:09,580
kit done after she was in a

1444
00:58:09,580 --> 00:58:09,792
fall ambulance after she was

1445
00:58:09,792 --> 00:58:12,792
assaulted by Anthony Warner San

1446
00:58:14,464 --> 00:58:15,198
Diego pd Officer and put into

1447
00:58:15,198 --> 00:58:15,899
this ambulance and one of those

1448
00:58:15,899 --> 00:58:18,935
like burritos or you know they

1449
00:58:18,935 --> 00:58:19,635
just like wrap you up it's a

1450
00:58:19,635 --> 00:58:20,435
wrap or whatever And she wound

1451
00:58:20,435 --> 00:58:24,350
up in the hospital with no

1452
00:58:24,307 --> 00:58:24,808
clothes and they're like Where

1453
00:58:24,808 --> 00:58:25,574
are your clothes?

1454
00:58:25,574 --> 00:58:28,711
I mean she had them at

1455
00:58:28,711 --> 00:58:29,478
the skate park.

1456
00:58:29,478 --> 00:58:30,346
Raul is in your district but

1457
00:58:30,346 --> 00:58:33,946
evidently when she ended up in

1458
00:58:34,684 --> 00:58:35,451
the hospital there were no

1459
00:58:35,451 --> 00:58:36,119
clothes and she had a rape kit

1460
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:38,855
done And when that was done

1461
00:58:38,855 --> 00:58:39,589
they said this is one of

1462
00:58:39,589 --> 00:58:40,289
the worst cases I've seen And I

1463
00:58:40,289 --> 00:58:44,227
saw a bunch of bruises on her

1464
00:58:44,227 --> 00:58:44,927
legs that look like, you know,

1465
00:58:44,927 --> 00:58:47,927
fingerprints on the inside of

1466
00:58:49,165 --> 00:58:49,900
her thighs And so it's very

1467
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:50,633
concerning to know that this is

1468
00:58:50,633 --> 00:58:54,233
happening in the city of San

1469
00:58:54,604 --> 00:58:55,205
Diego And right now they have

1470
00:58:55,205 --> 00:58:56,380
deemed her incompetent.

1471
00:58:56,380 --> 00:58:57,407
So you know, all of this can

1472
00:58:57,407 --> 00:59:00,407
get buried under the rock.

1473
00:59:01,611 --> 00:59:03,611
>> Good job.

1474
00:59:12,689 --> 00:59:13,355
But the risky police state

1475
00:59:13,355 --> 00:59:16,660
the item you would like to

1476
00:59:16,660 --> 00:59:16,993
speak to item ten the minutes.

1477
00:59:16,993 --> 00:59:17,359
Okay.

1478
00:59:17,359 --> 00:59:18,228
Thank you.

1479
00:59:18,228 --> 00:59:21,330
I just like to say that I'd

1480
00:59:21,330 --> 00:59:22,320
like to see more detail in

1481
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:22,699
the minutes rather than less.

1482
00:59:22,699 --> 00:59:25,699
The minutes are supposed to

1483
00:59:26,869 --> 00:59:27,271
reflect what happened at

1484
00:59:27,271 --> 00:59:27,937
the meeting.

1485
00:59:27,937 --> 00:59:28,572
They're searchable so people

1486
00:59:28,572 --> 00:59:31,572
can look for what they're

1487
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:32,709
interested in and I've heard

1488
00:59:32,709 --> 00:59:33,376
that push to actually reduce

1489
00:59:33,376 --> 00:59:36,376
the amount of detail in

1490
00:59:37,180 --> 00:59:37,880
the minutes when citizens speak

1491
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:38,615
rather than increase it And I

1492
00:59:38,615 --> 00:59:42,215
think it should be increased so

1493
00:59:42,218 --> 00:59:42,919
that what we say here is at

1494
00:59:42,919 --> 00:59:45,919
least captured to some degree.

1495
00:59:46,957 --> 00:59:47,724
I know it has to be summarized

1496
00:59:47,724 --> 00:59:48,592
might be something for you to

1497
00:59:48,592 --> 00:59:52,762
do at some point But I do think

1498
00:59:52,762 --> 00:59:53,496
that you know, I spent six

1499
00:59:53,496 --> 00:59:56,496
hours here yesterday waiting to

1500
00:59:57,501 --> 00:59:58,168
give a two minute speech and i

1501
00:59:58,168 --> 00:59:58,835
think the citizens deserve a

1502
00:59:58,835 --> 01:00:01,835
little more than just their

1503
01:00:02,606 --> 01:00:03,273
name And a couple of words Also

1504
01:00:03,273 --> 01:00:06,273
I don't understand why we're

1505
01:00:06,777 --> 01:00:07,377
now reducing all citizen

1506
01:00:07,377 --> 01:00:08,770
comments to one minute.

1507
01:00:08,770 --> 01:00:08,378
There's not that many speakers

1508
01:00:08,378 --> 01:00:09,146
here.

1509
01:00:09,146 --> 01:00:12,146
There's no justification to not

1510
01:00:12,649 --> 01:00:13,383
have two minutes today And I've

1511
01:00:13,383 --> 01:00:14,151
seen it again and again Now I

1512
01:00:14,151 --> 01:00:17,751
can understand if you have a

1513
01:00:17,854 --> 01:00:18,555
council full of you know, a

1514
01:00:18,555 --> 01:00:19,256
chamber full of people as we

1515
01:00:19,256 --> 01:00:22,256
did yesterday with the telecom

1516
01:00:23,193 --> 01:00:23,793
but in general we should

1517
01:00:23,793 --> 01:00:24,228
reserve two minutes for

1518
01:00:24,228 --> 01:00:24,928
the Brown Act.

1519
01:00:24,928 --> 01:00:27,928
Thank you concludes your time

1520
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:34,705
And Anthony Ralphs please state

1521
01:00:34,705 --> 01:00:38,305
the items you'd like to speak

1522
01:00:39,109 --> 01:00:39,910
to Like to speak to item ten

1523
01:00:39,910 --> 01:00:43,510
I'd like to speak to item 100

1524
01:00:44,148 --> 01:00:44,581
and I'd like to speak to item

1525
01:00:44,581 --> 01:00:45,315
501 please.

1526
01:00:45,315 --> 01:00:48,315
So you'll have three minutes

1527
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:50,988
with regard to item ten.

1528
01:00:50,988 --> 01:00:53,857
Well first of all good

1529
01:00:53,857 --> 01:00:54,725
afternoon City Council With

1530
01:00:54,725 --> 01:00:55,425
regard to item ten I would like

1531
01:00:55,425 --> 01:00:59,250
to say that I strongly agree

1532
01:01:00,396 --> 01:01:01,165
with what Bob just shared.

1533
01:01:01,165 --> 01:01:01,465
I also share that position as

1534
01:01:01,465 --> 01:01:02,265
well.

1535
01:01:02,265 --> 01:01:06,360
I think that if we were making

1536
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:06,804
the time to park down here for

1537
01:01:06,804 --> 01:01:07,504
making a time to sit here for

1538
01:01:07,504 --> 01:01:08,205
hours if we're making the time

1539
01:01:08,205 --> 01:01:11,475
to routinely show up, I think

1540
01:01:11,475 --> 01:01:12,760
that we all deserve to have

1541
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:12,843
what we say recorded as

1542
01:01:12,843 --> 01:01:15,843
accurately as possible and as

1543
01:01:17,381 --> 01:01:19,381
thoroughly as possible.

1544
01:01:21,886 --> 01:01:22,586
Moving on to item 100 I've good

1545
01:01:22,586 --> 01:01:23,287
luck with these appointments.

1546
01:01:23,287 --> 01:01:23,954
I know that empty seats can't

1547
01:01:23,954 --> 01:01:26,354
make the important decisions

1548
01:01:27,491 --> 01:01:28,259
that are needed with regard to

1549
01:01:28,259 --> 01:01:28,826
all of these issues So I hope

1550
01:01:28,826 --> 01:01:29,192
that these people are

1551
01:01:29,192 --> 01:01:31,192
appointed.

1552
01:01:33,163 --> 01:01:33,831
I'm not sure who they are but I

1553
01:01:33,831 --> 01:01:36,831
hope that they are qualified

1554
01:01:38,469 --> 01:01:39,700
and good luck to them and with

1555
01:01:39,700 --> 01:01:41,470
regard to item s501

1556
01:01:44,809 --> 01:01:47,809
the Municipal Code the new

1557
01:01:49,146 --> 01:01:49,780
sections eight for 19 420 and

1558
01:01:49,780 --> 01:01:50,247
8421 relating to electric

1559
01:01:50,247 --> 01:01:50,880
bicycle safety.

1560
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,880
I'm assuming that that's I

1561
01:01:55,653 --> 01:01:56,354
actually have not seen those

1562
01:01:56,354 --> 01:01:57,880
codes specifically so I can't

1563
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,688
speak to all the nuances within

1564
01:02:01,292 --> 01:02:01,995
them but I just wanted to share

1565
01:02:01,995 --> 01:02:02,660
my own personal testimony with

1566
01:02:02,660 --> 01:02:05,600
regard to electrical bicycle

1567
01:02:07,365 --> 01:02:08,990
safety and share that my

1568
01:02:08,990 --> 01:02:08,799
brother's almost been hit by an

1569
01:02:08,799 --> 01:02:11,199
electric bike actually grazed

1570
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:13,671
his bass almost and thankfully

1571
01:02:13,671 --> 01:02:17,271
it didn't hurt him and it

1572
01:02:18,876 --> 01:02:19,610
didn't hurt his bass But I'm

1573
01:02:19,610 --> 01:02:20,278
sure that you hear stories like

1574
01:02:20,278 --> 01:02:21,770
this all the time so I won't

1575
01:02:21,770 --> 01:02:24,677
bore you with more details Just

1576
01:02:24,882 --> 01:02:25,550
hoping that we can do something

1577
01:02:25,550 --> 01:02:26,250
with regard to public safety

1578
01:02:26,250 --> 01:02:28,650
with these electric bicycles.

1579
01:02:29,954 --> 01:02:30,455
Thank you.

1580
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:31,222
Thank you.

1581
01:02:31,222 --> 01:02:33,622
That concludes in-person public

1582
01:02:36,270 --> 01:02:36,761
comment.

1583
01:02:36,761 --> 01:02:37,428
I've started the five minute

1584
01:02:37,428 --> 01:02:38,162
timer in the committee room.

1585
01:02:38,162 --> 01:02:42,333
We will now turn to the virtual

1586
01:02:42,333 --> 01:02:42,967
queue in which there are seven

1587
01:02:42,967 --> 01:02:43,267
participants requesting to

1588
01:02:43,267 --> 01:02:45,267
speak.

1589
01:02:52,443 --> 01:02:53,100
We'll begin with John Elway.

1590
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:53,411
John, please begin.

1591
01:02:53,411 --> 01:02:53,845
Thank you.

1592
01:02:53,845 --> 01:02:55,845
Good morning.

1593
01:02:57,481 --> 01:02:58,150
City COUNCILMAN John Brady with

1594
01:02:58,150 --> 01:02:58,549
Experience Advisors.

1595
01:02:58,549 --> 01:03:01,549
I'd like to speak on

1596
01:03:01,953 --> 01:03:02,286
the consent agenda and item 100

1597
01:03:02,286 --> 01:03:02,654
please.

1598
01:03:02,654 --> 01:03:04,654
Thank you.

1599
01:03:09,270 --> 01:03:09,327
So I want I'm sorry item 100.

1600
01:03:09,327 --> 01:03:09,627
Yes.

1601
01:03:09,627 --> 01:03:09,928
Yes.

1602
01:03:09,928 --> 01:03:11,928
Okay.

1603
01:03:13,298 --> 01:03:13,997
Well, I wanted to thank you and

1604
01:03:13,997 --> 01:03:14,699
also the consent agenda item

1605
01:03:14,699 --> 01:03:17,699
100 is on the consent agenda.

1606
01:03:20,305 --> 01:03:21,720
>> Oh, sorry about that.

1607
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:21,606
I don't want to speak on

1608
01:03:21,606 --> 01:03:22,307
the item related to

1609
01:03:22,307 --> 01:03:22,639
the Homeless revenue Committee

1610
01:03:22,639 --> 01:03:24,639
as well.

1611
01:03:26,244 --> 01:03:26,811
Okay.

1612
01:03:26,811 --> 01:03:27,411
>> Thank you.

1613
01:03:27,411 --> 01:03:29,811
It's two minutes please.

1614
01:03:32,951 --> 01:03:33,618
So I am concerned about this

1615
01:03:33,618 --> 01:03:34,352
homeless revenue committee.

1616
01:03:34,352 --> 01:03:35,190
I we've spoken with our members

1617
01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:38,220
the way the language of this

1618
01:03:38,220 --> 01:03:38,790
committee is set up.

1619
01:03:38,790 --> 01:03:39,424
It appears that no one from

1620
01:03:39,424 --> 01:03:41,824
the homeless services base

1621
01:03:44,862 --> 01:03:45,563
could actually serve on their

1622
01:03:45,563 --> 01:03:46,297
committee if they are if they

1623
01:03:46,297 --> 01:03:49,297
are recipients of any city

1624
01:03:50,836 --> 01:03:51,402
funding which is almost

1625
01:03:51,402 --> 01:03:52,137
everyone in this space

1626
01:03:52,137 --> 01:03:55,137
including our own and what

1627
01:03:56,942 --> 01:03:57,642
appears to be developing based

1628
01:03:57,642 --> 01:03:58,310
on the first four appointments

1629
01:03:58,310 --> 01:04:01,910
is that there is no homeless

1630
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:03,114
services or knowledge or

1631
01:04:03,114 --> 01:04:06,114
experience happening And on top

1632
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:09,854
of it we are and I know no

1633
01:04:09,854 --> 01:04:10,422
problem with the individuals or

1634
01:04:10,422 --> 01:04:11,890
the resumes but what's

1635
01:04:11,890 --> 01:04:11,722
happening is we are actually

1636
01:04:11,722 --> 01:04:14,122
creating an exception for

1637
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:15,827
someone who does not live in

1638
01:04:15,827 --> 01:04:16,595
the city who is a lobbyist.

1639
01:04:16,595 --> 01:04:19,595
This committee, if it has

1640
01:04:21,433 --> 01:04:22,167
impact over how this funding is

1641
01:04:22,167 --> 01:04:22,868
spent looks like to me it will

1642
01:04:22,868 --> 01:04:26,468
largely be made up by business

1643
01:04:26,538 --> 01:04:27,238
people and no one with any

1644
01:04:27,238 --> 01:04:29,638
lived experience or knowledge

1645
01:04:33,178 --> 01:04:33,745
of the industry itself And that

1646
01:04:33,745 --> 01:04:34,446
is problematic for us.

1647
01:04:34,446 --> 01:04:38,460
As to the public comment area,

1648
01:04:39,151 --> 01:04:43,951
I did want to say that when you

1649
01:04:44,990 --> 01:04:45,291
call in right now you get an

1650
01:04:45,291 --> 01:04:45,991
error.

1651
01:04:45,991 --> 01:04:46,625
If you dial in and enter

1652
01:04:46,625 --> 01:04:50,225
the code it says either it

1653
01:04:50,261 --> 01:04:50,962
doesn't recognize it or ask for

1654
01:04:50,962 --> 01:04:51,229
the code again and people hang

1655
01:04:51,229 --> 01:04:51,963
up.

1656
01:04:51,963 --> 01:04:56,163
Also when we pull an item like

1657
01:04:56,567 --> 01:04:57,436
yesterday on path we had two

1658
01:04:57,436 --> 01:04:58,170
people set up to speak but we

1659
01:04:58,170 --> 01:04:58,937
could not give them time to get

1660
01:04:58,937 --> 01:05:01,720
on the phone because there was

1661
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:01,473
not the presentation that was

1662
01:05:01,473 --> 01:05:03,473
planned for.

1663
01:05:06,911 --> 01:05:07,312
Thank you.

1664
01:05:07,312 --> 01:05:09,312
Thank you.

1665
01:05:12,584 --> 01:05:12,984
Our next speaker is Aurora

1666
01:05:12,984 --> 01:05:13,752
Livingston.

1667
01:05:13,752 --> 01:05:14,620
Please state the items that you

1668
01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:18,220
would like to speak to and

1669
01:05:18,490 --> 01:05:19,910
begin.

1670
01:05:19,910 --> 01:05:19,791
>> Good morning Council

1671
01:05:19,791 --> 01:05:22,191
PRESIDENT And Council members.

1672
01:05:24,930 --> 01:05:25,597
My name is Aurora and I'm

1673
01:05:25,597 --> 01:05:26,197
speaking today on behalf of

1674
01:05:26,197 --> 01:05:28,197
California State Senator

1675
01:05:30,936 --> 01:05:31,637
Catherine Blake Speer on item

1676
01:05:31,637 --> 01:05:32,304
s5a1 The Senator supports this

1677
01:05:32,304 --> 01:05:34,704
ordinance to improve e-bike

1678
01:05:37,376 --> 01:05:38,430
safety and thanks Councilmember

1679
01:05:38,430 --> 01:05:38,610
Campo for his leadership on

1680
01:05:38,610 --> 01:05:40,610
this important issue.

1681
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:42,981
Senator Blake's Mayor I applaud

1682
01:05:42,981 --> 01:05:43,582
the city of San Diego for

1683
01:05:43,582 --> 01:05:44,249
taking such a thoughtful

1684
01:05:44,249 --> 01:05:46,649
education First approach to

1685
01:05:48,420 --> 01:05:49,154
improving e-bike safety e-bikes

1686
01:05:49,154 --> 01:05:49,789
really are an important part of

1687
01:05:49,789 --> 01:05:51,789
our transportation system.

1688
01:05:53,826 --> 01:05:54,426
They provide a sustainable

1689
01:05:54,426 --> 01:05:54,794
mobility option for many

1690
01:05:54,794 --> 01:05:55,494
residents.

1691
01:05:55,494 --> 01:05:56,128
Unfortunately there have been

1692
01:05:56,128 --> 01:05:58,128
serious injuries involving

1693
01:06:00,650 --> 01:06:00,699
young riders who MAY not have

1694
01:06:00,699 --> 01:06:01,433
the training or understand

1695
01:06:01,433 --> 01:06:05,633
the rules of the road to safely

1696
01:06:06,271 --> 01:06:06,838
operate these e-bikes.

1697
01:06:06,838 --> 01:06:07,372
This ordinance strikes

1698
01:06:07,372 --> 01:06:08,730
the right balance by

1699
01:06:08,730 --> 01:06:10,473
establishing a reasonable age

1700
01:06:12,770 --> 01:06:12,777
restriction and prioritizing

1701
01:06:12,777 --> 01:06:13,445
public education And these are

1702
01:06:13,445 --> 01:06:14,112
commonsense guardrails that

1703
01:06:14,112 --> 01:06:17,112
focus on prevention and will

1704
01:06:19,318 --> 01:06:19,918
help keep all road users safe.

1705
01:06:19,918 --> 01:06:20,452
Senator Alex Mayor looks

1706
01:06:20,452 --> 01:06:21,186
forward to advancing

1707
01:06:21,186 --> 01:06:23,186
complementary state legislation

1708
01:06:24,790 --> 01:06:25,490
to strengthen e-bike safety

1709
01:06:25,490 --> 01:06:25,891
standards and improve consumer

1710
01:06:25,891 --> 01:06:26,325
protections.

1711
01:06:26,325 --> 01:06:28,325
>> Thank you.

1712
01:06:30,996 --> 01:06:31,664
Thank you.

1713
01:06:31,664 --> 01:06:31,997
Our next speaker is Leif

1714
01:06:31,997 --> 01:06:32,731
Ganzer.

1715
01:06:32,731 --> 01:06:36,331
Please state the item you would

1716
01:06:37,837 --> 01:06:38,504
like to speak to.

1717
01:06:38,504 --> 01:06:39,538
>> I am a novice.

1718
01:06:39,538 --> 01:06:44,338
My name is left and I want to

1719
01:06:45,845 --> 01:06:46,812
speak on 5a1.

1720
01:06:46,812 --> 01:06:47,546
I must have one bike right off

1721
01:06:47,546 --> 01:06:48,480
I take it to the grocery store

1722
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,181
On the right is all the time I

1723
01:06:49,181 --> 01:06:49,715
have a class one e-bike which

1724
01:06:49,715 --> 01:06:50,382
is limited to 20mph.

1725
01:06:50,382 --> 01:06:54,582
I want to point out that you

1726
01:06:55,187 --> 01:06:55,988
picked up the worst statement

1727
01:06:55,988 --> 01:06:56,321
to support when it comes to

1728
01:06:56,321 --> 01:06:57,560
e-bikes.

1729
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:57,723
There is no bicycle at all that

1730
01:06:57,723 --> 01:07:00,123
it supports This particular

1731
01:07:01,527 --> 01:07:02,227
bill especially because it

1732
01:07:02,227 --> 01:07:02,961
would limit children under 12

1733
01:07:02,961 --> 01:07:03,295
to ride Class one and Class two

1734
01:07:03,295 --> 01:07:03,998
e-bikes.

1735
01:07:03,998 --> 01:07:07,266
These are not the e-bikes that

1736
01:07:07,266 --> 01:07:07,833
people are always talking about

1737
01:07:07,833 --> 01:07:08,434
these monthly models.

1738
01:07:08,434 --> 01:07:09,168
These are typically not

1739
01:07:09,168 --> 01:07:09,535
the e-bikes that kids are doing

1740
01:07:09,535 --> 01:07:11,535
these on.

1741
01:07:13,205 --> 01:07:13,872
I want you to understand this

1742
01:07:13,872 --> 01:07:14,439
has nothing to do with kids

1743
01:07:14,439 --> 01:07:15,174
riding on the highway.

1744
01:07:15,174 --> 01:07:17,810
There's nothing to do with kids

1745
01:07:17,810 --> 01:07:18,544
doing wheelies.

1746
01:07:18,544 --> 01:07:19,211
Please don't use the excuse

1747
01:07:19,211 --> 01:07:19,878
that you're doing something

1748
01:07:19,878 --> 01:07:22,878
because what you're doing is

1749
01:07:24,483 --> 01:07:25,218
you're doing the easy thing and

1750
01:07:25,218 --> 01:07:25,818
you are creating bad things for

1751
01:07:25,818 --> 01:07:28,218
people that cannot vote.

1752
01:07:30,723 --> 01:07:31,257
So if you care about e-bike

1753
01:07:31,257 --> 01:07:31,924
safety you would be

1754
01:07:31,924 --> 01:07:32,557
consistently and fully about

1755
01:07:32,557 --> 01:07:34,557
implementing safe bicycle

1756
01:07:36,229 --> 01:07:37,130
infrastructure.

1757
01:07:37,130 --> 01:07:37,863
Might ask if you can do all of

1758
01:07:37,863 --> 01:07:41,463
the education first off and yes

1759
01:07:42,935 --> 01:07:43,569
you can all the education all I

1760
01:07:43,569 --> 01:07:44,270
don't even I'm opposed to

1761
01:07:44,270 --> 01:07:46,670
better enforcement but please

1762
01:07:50,442 --> 01:07:51,143
take out the restriction on

1763
01:07:51,143 --> 01:07:51,677
class one and custom e-bikes.

1764
01:07:51,677 --> 01:07:52,450
That's all I've got.

1765
01:07:52,450 --> 01:07:52,678
Thank you.

1766
01:07:52,678 --> 01:07:54,213
That concludes your time.

1767
01:07:54,213 --> 01:07:54,947
Please note that the five

1768
01:07:54,947 --> 01:07:55,515
minute timer has concluded with

1769
01:07:55,515 --> 01:07:55,881
five speakers left in

1770
01:07:55,881 --> 01:07:57,881
the queue.

1771
01:08:00,853 --> 01:08:01,154
No other speakers will be taken

1772
01:08:01,154 --> 01:08:01,821

1773
01:08:01,821 --> 01:08:03,723
Next up is Ross Tritt.

like to speak to me in.

1776
01:08:11,970 --> 01:08:11,763
Thank you.

1777
01:08:11,763 --> 01:08:12,332
Speaking on this final one.

1778
01:08:12,332 --> 01:08:12,899
Good morning to all

1779
01:08:12,899 --> 01:08:15,299
the PRESIDENT With all

Zoo Counsel.

1782
01:08:18,710 --> 01:08:18,638
My name is Ross Trade and I'm

1783
01:08:18,638 --> 01:08:19,272
speaking on behalf of

1784
01:08:19,272 --> 01:08:21,272
Assemblymember Brenner in

1785
01:08:22,942 --> 01:08:23,642
support of item as 5a1 which

1786
01:08:23,642 --> 01:08:27,242
would opposite of the need to

1787
01:08:27,980 --> 01:08:28,581
go into the 20 to 34 pilot

1788
01:08:28,581 --> 01:08:29,248
program that you can do

1789
01:08:29,248 --> 01:08:29,949
COUNCILMAN Camp over target

1790
01:08:29,949 --> 01:08:32,349
championing this ordinance in

1791
01:08:32,952 --> 01:08:33,620
San Diego.

1792
01:08:33,620 --> 01:08:34,320
Assembly member DR. Brenner

1793
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,720
authored 80.34 in response to

1794
01:08:39,125 --> 01:08:39,826
the growing number of pigeons

1795
01:08:39,826 --> 01:08:40,260
involving young riders across

1796
01:08:40,260 --> 01:08:40,960
the district.

1797
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:45,160
As a mom of two children, she

1798
01:08:45,532 --> 01:08:46,365
knows firsthand how important

1799
01:08:46,365 --> 01:08:46,732
it is to keep our kids safe on

1800
01:08:46,732 --> 01:08:47,367
the road.

1801
01:08:47,367 --> 01:08:48,680
And this is really just a

1802
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,680
common sense change that gives

1803
01:08:51,638 --> 01:08:52,339
cities the tools to protect

1804
01:08:52,339 --> 01:08:52,939
families and prevent a tragic

1805
01:08:52,939 --> 01:08:53,606
accident from happening.

1806
01:08:53,606 --> 01:08:56,606
I respectfully ask for your

1807
01:08:56,876 --> 01:08:59,276
vote and thank you.

1808
01:09:01,848 --> 01:09:02,549
Our next speaker is Blair being

1809
01:09:02,549 --> 01:09:06,149
pleased that the item or items

1810
01:09:10,256 --> 01:09:10,656
he wished to speak to?

1811
01:09:10,656 --> 01:09:11,524
>> Hi.

1812
01:09:11,524 --> 01:09:12,959
Blair Bateman I wanted to speak

1813
01:09:12,959 --> 01:09:13,226
to It's 5a1 that's 5a3 an item

1814
01:09:13,226 --> 01:09:13,927
51.

1815
01:09:13,927 --> 01:09:16,327
>> You'll have three minutes.

1816
01:09:19,398 --> 01:09:19,798
Please proceed.

1817
01:09:19,798 --> 01:09:20,166
>> Okay.

1818
01:09:20,166 --> 01:09:22,166
Thank you.

1819
01:09:24,504 --> 01:09:25,105
I guess first to 5 or 1

1820
01:09:25,105 --> 01:09:27,105
the electrical electric

1821
01:09:30,677 --> 01:09:31,644
electrical electric bikes that

1822
01:09:31,644 --> 01:09:35,615
I come up to to more from what

1823
01:09:35,615 --> 01:09:36,382
the future of infrastructure is

1824
01:09:36,382 --> 01:09:37,117
going to be like in terms of

1825
01:09:37,117 --> 01:09:40,717
our smart cities and e-bike use

1826
01:09:41,488 --> 01:09:42,155
And do we have good tech

1827
01:09:42,155 --> 01:09:42,789
accountability practices and

1828
01:09:42,789 --> 01:09:45,789
policies for the future of

1829
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:47,727
e-bikes?

1830
01:09:47,727 --> 01:09:50,727
The argument you guys are

1831
01:09:53,990 --> 01:09:53,407
having right now is interesting

1832
01:09:53,407 --> 01:09:54,167
.

1833
01:09:54,167 --> 01:09:54,501
Good luck how it can be

1834
01:09:54,501 --> 01:09:55,135
debated.

1835
01:09:55,135 --> 01:09:55,869
I think people should have

1836
01:09:55,869 --> 01:09:59,469
freedom but I guess that can

1837
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:00,373
always be limitations with

1838
01:10:00,373 --> 01:10:01,740
the need for safety.

1839
01:10:01,740 --> 01:10:04,674
Good luck in finding that good

1840
01:10:05,445 --> 01:10:06,780
balance and good luck on tech

1841
01:10:06,780 --> 01:10:06,780
accountability Good check

1842
01:10:06,780 --> 01:10:09,180
accountability with the future

1843
01:10:11,751 --> 01:10:15,951
of e-bikes for item I need open

1844
01:10:17,524 --> 01:10:18,125
policy and best practices for

1845
01:10:18,125 --> 01:10:20,125
both emergency transport

1846
01:10:24,698 --> 01:10:25,164
billing and collection services

1847
01:10:25,164 --> 01:10:25,899
items.

1848
01:10:25,899 --> 01:10:26,500
I wanted to reiterate the words

1849
01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:29,402
of Dara We're doing our

1850
01:10:29,402 --> 01:10:30,470
ambulance service stuff.

1851
01:10:30,470 --> 01:10:31,138
Do we need a review of how our

1852
01:10:31,138 --> 01:10:33,538
ambulance workers are taking

1853
01:10:35,842 --> 01:10:36,710
care of our people?

1854
01:10:36,710 --> 01:10:37,311
I think it should be front and

1855
01:10:37,311 --> 01:10:40,311
center of how we address

1856
01:10:41,248 --> 01:10:41,881
ourselves at this time and with

1857
01:10:41,881 --> 01:10:42,582
the police issues as well.

1858
01:10:42,582 --> 01:10:43,216
I've been mentioning that I'm

1859
01:10:43,216 --> 01:10:45,616
really surprised at what's

1860
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:48,889
happening to Andrea.

1861
01:10:48,889 --> 01:10:49,590
I mean she's a pretty innocent

1862
01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:52,590
person and she's getting real

1863
01:10:53,427 --> 01:10:54,160
railroad treatment right now.

1864
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:54,862
She's her rights are being

1865
01:10:54,862 --> 01:10:55,562
taken away And I think we have

1866
01:10:55,562 --> 01:10:58,562
to really work something right

1867
01:11:00,467 --> 01:11:00,868
now and start better

1868
01:11:00,868 --> 01:11:01,535
principles.

1869
01:11:01,535 --> 01:11:02,236
Good luck how we can do that

1870
01:11:02,236 --> 01:11:04,636
and addressing exactly what

1871
01:11:05,472 --> 01:11:06,730
the Ari was talking about,

1872
01:11:06,730 --> 01:11:06,773
what's going on with how

1873
01:11:06,773 --> 01:11:09,173
ambulance workers take people

1874
01:11:11,277 --> 01:11:12,460
to the hospital, what's going

1875
01:11:12,460 --> 01:11:12,713
on in that time period, Those

1876
01:11:12,713 --> 01:11:15,713
things have to be addressed.

1877
01:11:16,483 --> 01:11:17,184
Is it larger than just Andrea's

1878
01:11:17,184 --> 01:11:17,918
issue here in San Diego?

1879
01:11:17,918 --> 01:11:18,252
We have to consider all these

1880
01:11:18,252 --> 01:11:20,252
things.

1881
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:28,620
Um, and also for item 51

1882
01:11:28,620 --> 01:11:30,620
improvements and modernization

1883
01:11:33,167 --> 01:11:33,868
project for a an improvement

1884
01:11:33,868 --> 01:11:34,602
I'm learning important lessons

1885
01:11:34,602 --> 01:11:37,602
in the difference between storm

1886
01:11:40,407 --> 01:11:41,800
water storm drain issues and

1887
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:41,609
these are sewer systems.

1888
01:11:41,609 --> 01:11:42,760
These are all different

1889
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,760
classifications.

1890
01:11:45,846 --> 01:11:46,547
I spoke much a week or so ago

1891
01:11:46,547 --> 01:11:47,414
on my feelings of storm water

1892
01:11:47,414 --> 01:11:51,140
issues when you were working on

1893
01:11:51,986 --> 01:11:52,753
Storm drain issues the related

1894
01:11:52,753 --> 01:11:53,520
but there can be a bit of

1895
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,520
differences and I didn't mark

1896
01:11:57,491 --> 01:11:58,259
those differences I wish I did.

1897
01:11:58,259 --> 01:12:01,859
I really tried to be heartfelt

1898
01:12:03,431 --> 01:12:04,650
in my work last week and I was

1899
01:12:04,650 --> 01:12:04,799
spoken to what is the more

1900
01:12:04,799 --> 01:12:08,399
proper order of how to talk

1901
01:12:08,869 --> 01:12:09,570
about the things But

1902
01:12:09,570 --> 01:12:10,271
nonetheless my words have good

1903
01:12:10,271 --> 01:12:13,271
intentions for everyone and I

1904
01:12:15,142 --> 01:12:15,842
hope we continue to work on our

1905
01:12:15,842 --> 01:12:16,543
stuff and work on clarifying

1906
01:12:16,543 --> 01:12:17,178
language when we clarify each

1907
01:12:17,178 --> 01:12:17,511
other that it can be done

1908
01:12:17,511 --> 01:12:19,511
softly.

1909
01:12:21,982 --> 01:12:22,482
It's I have to learn that too.

1910
01:12:22,482 --> 01:12:22,849
>> Thank you.

1911
01:12:22,849 --> 01:12:23,517
Thank you.

1912
01:12:23,517 --> 01:12:24,352
Natalie Raskin Please state

1913
01:12:24,352 --> 01:12:28,552
which item or items you wish to

1914
01:12:36,663 --> 01:12:37,331
speak to.

1915
01:12:37,331 --> 01:12:37,898
I Can you hear me?

1916
01:12:37,898 --> 01:12:38,766
Yes I can hear you.

1917
01:12:38,766 --> 01:12:42,366
Which item would you like to

1918
01:12:42,737 --> 01:12:43,300
speak on Consent Item one 100

1919
01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:43,304
100.

1920
01:12:43,304 --> 01:12:45,304
Okay.

1921
01:12:48,420 --> 01:12:48,776
That's Natalie Roski.

1922
01:12:48,776 --> 01:12:49,760
The title is kind of concerning

1923
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,760
to me.

1924
01:12:54,115 --> 01:12:58,315
It does sound a bit boxy More

1925
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:00,540
on ish.

1926
01:13:00,540 --> 01:13:00,788
It's concerning to me also that

1927
01:13:00,788 --> 01:13:03,788
there's appointed for people to

1928
01:13:06,327 --> 01:13:06,994
this board and I want to go

1929
01:13:06,994 --> 01:13:07,695
fill out an application and

1930
01:13:07,695 --> 01:13:09,931
it's saying it's not taken any

1931
01:13:09,931 --> 01:13:12,931
applications and that there are

1932
01:13:16,437 --> 01:13:17,171
seven seats available.

1933
01:13:17,171 --> 01:13:17,805
I think with the transparency

1934
01:13:17,805 --> 01:13:20,205
that is happening through

1935
01:13:22,643 --> 01:13:23,377
the city and with its

1936
01:13:23,377 --> 01:13:26,377
constituents I'm supposed to be

1937
01:13:28,816 --> 01:13:29,450
a stakeholder but it doesn't

1938
01:13:29,450 --> 01:13:32,450
seem that my stake holding

1939
01:13:34,856 --> 01:13:35,657
seems to be noticed too much

1940
01:13:35,657 --> 01:13:36,357
with this I got a letter from

1941
01:13:36,357 --> 01:13:39,357
the housing Commission that my

1942
01:13:40,395 --> 01:13:41,262
age We will end NOVEMBER 30th

1943
01:13:41,262 --> 01:13:45,700
and then I will no longer be a

1944
01:13:45,700 --> 01:13:46,670
part of any housing commission

1945
01:13:46,670 --> 01:13:48,670
available.

1946
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:52,941
>> Thank you.

1947
01:13:52,941 --> 01:13:53,607

1948
01:13:53,607 --> 01:13:56,607

2009
01:16:21,557 --> 01:16:22,424
sense.

2010
01:16:22,424 --> 01:16:23,250
We need to guide our young

2011
01:16:23,250 --> 01:16:23,692

2012
01:16:23,692 --> 01:16:26,920
important for their safety.

I strongly support this common

2049

sense e-bike safety proposal

2050
01:17:37,833 --> 01:17:38,501
unanimously approved by

2051
01:17:38,501 --> 01:17:40,901
the Public Safety Committee.

2052
01:17:43,139 --> 01:17:43,806
There's an urgent need for

2053
01:17:43,806 --> 01:17:44,507
practical measures that will

2054
01:17:44,507 --> 01:17:45,174
enhance public safety and help

2055
01:17:45,174 --> 01:17:47,174

2056
01:17:49,978 --> 01:17:50,680
Setting a minimum age of 12 for

2058
01:17:51,380 --> 01:17:53,380
riders prohibiting passengers

2059
01:17:55,218 --> 01:17:55,852
unless a bike is specifically

2060
01:17:55,852 --> 01:17:56,252
designed with a permanent

2061
01:17:56,252 --> 01:17:58,252
second seat.

2062
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:01,524
These are simple common sense

2063
01:18:01,524 --> 01:18:02,225
safety measures.

2064
01:18:02,225 --> 01:18:02,925
These safeguards will protect

2065
01:18:02,925 --> 01:18:05,325
young riders, reduce dangerous

2066
01:18:06,962 --> 01:18:07,630

2067
01:18:07,630 --> 01:18:08,431
streets safer for everyone.

2068
01:18:08,431 --> 01:18:12,310
As as e-bike usage continues to

2069
01:18:13,436 --> 01:18:14,137
grow, kids need these

2070
01:18:14,137 --> 01:18:14,837
protections now more than ever

2071
01:18:14,837 --> 01:18:18,437
to ensure they can ride safely

2072
01:18:19,410 --> 01:18:19,742
and responsibly while

2073
01:18:19,742 --> 01:18:20,309
protecting those around them.

2074
01:18:20,309 --> 01:18:23,309

2075

01:18:43,990 --> 01:18:43,699
Thank you Council PRESIDENT

2091
01:18:43,699 --> 01:18:44,233
Thank you to members of

2092
01:18:44,233 --> 01:18:44,967
the public for their

2093
01:18:44,967 --> 01:18:47,770
participation today I will move

2094
01:18:47,770 --> 01:18:48,571
approval of the consent agenda

2095
01:18:48,571 --> 01:18:52,171
and speak briefly to item 5a1

2096
01:18:53,509 --> 01:18:54,177
The regulations on e-bikes.

2097
01:18:54,177 --> 01:18:54,878
This ordinance comes down to

2098
01:18:54,878 --> 01:18:55,511
one simple question for me and

2099
01:18:55,511 --> 01:18:58,511
my constituents If we know

2100
01:18:59,249 --> 01:19:00,160
children are being seriously

2101
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:00,750
injured on e-bikes and we have

2102
01:19:00,750 --> 01:19:04,220
the legal authority to act, why

2103
01:19:04,220 --> 01:19:04,955
wouldn't we?

2104
01:19:04,955 --> 01:19:05,655
As a parent of two young

2105
01:19:05,655 --> 01:19:06,122
children, a former fifth grade

2106
01:19:06,122 --> 01:19:06,756
teacher as well?

2107
01:19:06,756 --> 01:19:09,292
Child safety is always at

2108
01:19:09,292 --> 01:19:09,725
the top of my mind and I've

2109
01:19:09,725 --> 01:19:10,493
seen the data.

2110
01:19:10,493 --> 01:19:11,160
I've spoken with the families.

2111
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:11,828
I've spoken to the doctors.

2112
01:19:11,828 --> 01:19:14,828
I've heard from health care

2113
01:19:15,331 --> 01:19:16,320
professionals and educators In

2114
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:16,699
the message is clear They want

2115
01:19:16,699 --> 01:19:17,133
to see us do more to protect

2116
01:19:17,133 --> 01:19:19,133
our children.

2117
01:19:20,837 --> 01:19:21,604
Today's e-bikes are not

2118
01:19:21,604 --> 01:19:21,938
the bicycles many of us grew up

2119
01:19:21,938 --> 01:19:22,639
writing.

2120
01:19:22,639 --> 01:19:25,639
They travel farther and faster

2121
01:19:26,276 --> 01:19:26,909
often in traffic alongside cars

2122
01:19:26,909 --> 01:19:27,610
And yet many young writers

2123
01:19:27,610 --> 01:19:28,278
haven't received the training

2124
01:19:28,278 --> 01:19:32,449
on the rules of the road or

2125
01:19:32,449 --> 01:19:33,160
safe riding practices.

2126
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,416
So this ordinance uses

2127
01:19:36,285 --> 01:19:37,530
the authority provided by ab

2128
01:19:37,530 --> 01:19:37,787
2234 to establish common sense

2129
01:19:37,787 --> 01:19:40,187
guardrails focused on education

2130
01:19:41,825 --> 01:19:42,592
and accountability and safety.

2131
01:19:42,592 --> 01:19:43,293
The goal is not to punish

2132
01:19:43,293 --> 01:19:45,293
anyone particularly children.

2133
01:19:47,898 --> 01:19:48,431
The goal is to prevent injuries

2134
01:19:48,431 --> 01:19:49,132
before they happen.

2135
01:19:49,132 --> 01:19:49,799
I want to particularly thank

2136
01:19:49,799 --> 01:19:52,199
Assembly member Tasha Burner

2137
01:19:52,401 --> 01:19:53,102
for authoring ab 2234 and

2138
01:19:53,102 --> 01:19:53,837
Senator Catherine Blake Speer

2139
01:19:53,837 --> 01:19:56,237
whose upcoming legislation will

2140
01:19:57,307 --> 01:19:57,741
put more responsibility on

2141
01:19:57,741 --> 01:19:58,475
manufacturers.

2142
01:19:58,475 --> 01:19:58,775
And that has my full support as

2143
01:19:58,775 --> 01:20:00,775
well.

2144
01:20:03,613 --> 01:20:04,181
E-bikes are and can be a great

2145
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:06,181
transportation option.

2146
01:20:08,185 --> 01:20:08,852
But safety cannot be optional.

2147
01:20:08,852 --> 01:20:09,519
So when children are being

2148
01:20:09,519 --> 01:20:10,220
seriously injured and other

2149
01:20:10,220 --> 01:20:12,620
pedestrians walking around or

2150
01:20:13,356 --> 01:20:13,890
being injured doing nothing

2151
01:20:13,890 --> 01:20:14,624
can't be an option.

2152
01:20:14,624 --> 01:20:17,624
Our state legislature allows us

2153
01:20:18,595 --> 01:20:19,296
allows for this ordinance to be

2154
01:20:19,296 --> 01:20:19,963
a tool to protect children and

2155
01:20:19,963 --> 01:20:22,363
protect everyone really and

2156
01:20:23,833 --> 01:20:24,634
collect evidence for several

2157
01:20:24,634 --> 01:20:25,350
years to help shape policy into

2158
01:20:25,350 --> 01:20:25,736
the future.

2159
01:20:25,736 --> 01:20:28,136
This ordinance is reasonable.

2160
01:20:29,500 --> 01:20:29,706
It's balanced and the necessary

2161
01:20:29,706 --> 01:20:30,440
step to protect young riders,

2162
01:20:30,440 --> 01:20:31,174
their families and everyone who

2163
01:20:31,174 --> 01:20:34,174
shares our roads and sidewalks.

2164
01:20:35,444 --> 01:20:36,450
So with that I respectfully ask

2165
01:20:36,450 --> 01:20:36,747
support of the Council.

2166
01:20:36,747 --> 01:20:37,414
And that concludes my motion.

2167
01:20:37,414 --> 01:20:37,781
Council PRESIDENT All right.

2168
01:20:37,781 --> 01:20:39,781
Thank you.

2169
01:20:40,617 --> 01:20:41,218
Council Member Kennedy So we

2170
01:20:41,218 --> 01:20:42,180
have a motion to move

2171
01:20:42,180 --> 01:20:44,387
the consent items not seen in

2172
01:20:44,387 --> 01:20:45,255
the light.

2173
01:20:45,255 --> 01:20:45,989
I'll second it and I will thank

2174
01:20:45,989 --> 01:20:48,989
you Council Member for bringing

2175
01:20:49,993 --> 01:20:50,761
the item forward and I will

2176
01:20:50,761 --> 01:20:53,161
join you in expressing

2177
01:20:56,633 --> 01:20:57,366
the frustration for the good

2178
01:20:57,366 --> 01:20:58,350
work that Senator Blake's mayor

2179
01:20:58,350 --> 01:20:58,768
and Assembly member Barnard

2180
01:20:58,768 --> 01:21:00,971
have been trying to have common

2181
01:21:00,971 --> 01:21:01,705
sense legislation and having a

2182
01:21:01,705 --> 01:21:02,272
tough time up in Sacramento but

2183
01:21:02,272 --> 01:21:05,272
at least we have this.

2184
01:21:06,900 --> 01:21:06,643
Thank you for taking that

2185
01:21:06,643 --> 01:21:07,277
opportunity for the pilot

2186
01:21:07,277 --> 01:21:07,844
program And I thank you to

2187
01:21:07,844 --> 01:21:10,244
the city attorney for

2188
01:21:10,814 --> 01:21:11,482
clarifying that this will have

2189
01:21:11,482 --> 01:21:12,182
the same term of whatever of

2190
01:21:12,182 --> 01:21:15,182
the state legislation is going

2191
01:21:17,287 --> 01:21:18,155
forward.

2192
01:21:18,155 --> 01:21:18,822
So we have a motion by Council

2193
01:21:18,822 --> 01:21:20,891
member Campi and a second by

2194
01:21:20,891 --> 01:21:21,692
myself to move the consent

2195
01:21:21,692 --> 01:21:22,225
items will go next to council

2196
01:21:22,225 --> 01:21:24,225
member Ella Rivera.

2197
01:21:25,463 --> 01:21:26,530
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

2198
01:21:26,530 --> 01:21:30,130
I will first be asking some

2199
01:21:31,735 --> 01:21:32,269
questions about item 100

2200
01:21:32,269 --> 01:21:32,936
the appointments to

2201
01:21:32,936 --> 01:21:35,336
the homeless revenue account

2202
01:21:36,740 --> 01:21:37,775
Citizen Oversight Committee.

2203
01:21:37,775 --> 01:21:41,975
This has nothing to do with it

2204
01:21:42,179 --> 01:21:42,913
Specific resumes or

2205
01:21:42,913 --> 01:21:45,913
qualifications of the folks who

2206
01:21:47,500 --> 01:21:47,818
are being nominated today.

2207
01:21:47,818 --> 01:21:48,552
But I do think that it's

2208
01:21:48,552 --> 01:21:50,952
incredibly important that there

2209
01:21:52,489 --> 01:21:53,900
eventually be folks who have

2210
01:21:53,900 --> 01:21:55,490
lived experience on that

2211
01:21:56,293 --> 01:21:56,894
committee That's especially

2212
01:21:56,894 --> 01:21:59,294
important since as was

2213
01:22:01,432 --> 01:22:02,660
mentioned in public comment

2214
01:22:02,660 --> 01:22:02,733
the service providers will

2215
01:22:02,733 --> 01:22:05,133
almost certainly be excluded

2216
01:22:06,770 --> 01:22:08,770
from participating.

2217
01:22:11,742 --> 01:22:12,442
That experience of having been

2218
01:22:12,442 --> 01:22:14,842
homeless tried to navigate

2219
01:22:17,447 --> 01:22:18,820
the system seeing what works

2220
01:22:18,820 --> 01:22:18,682
and what doesn't work from

2221
01:22:18,682 --> 01:22:20,682
various perspectives is

2222
01:22:22,190 --> 01:22:22,886
incredibly important.

2223
01:22:22,886 --> 01:22:23,486
We know that when the city has

2224
01:22:23,486 --> 01:22:26,486
done our best work on

2225
01:22:26,524 --> 01:22:27,257
homelessness it has been very

2226
01:22:27,257 --> 01:22:30,857
much guided by people with that

2227
01:22:31,195 --> 01:22:31,896
experience at the table not as

2228
01:22:31,896 --> 01:22:35,496
a as an afterthought, not as

2229
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:37,101
window dressing but as you know

2230
01:22:37,101 --> 01:22:37,668
in a meaningful way that

2231
01:22:37,668 --> 01:22:38,336
actually helps inform

2232
01:22:38,336 --> 01:22:40,604
the direction that is being

2233
01:22:40,604 --> 01:22:41,438
being headed.

2234
01:22:41,438 --> 01:22:42,139
So I am happy to support

2235
01:22:42,139 --> 01:22:45,139
the appointments of the folks

2236
01:22:45,376 --> 01:22:46,210
who are nominated today.

2237
01:22:46,210 --> 01:22:46,944
I will not be supporting any

2238
01:22:46,944 --> 01:22:49,344
additional appointments to this

2239
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:51,648
committee until there are until

2240
01:22:51,648 --> 01:22:54,648
at least someone with lived

2241
01:22:55,452 --> 01:22:55,752
experience is appointed after

2242
01:22:55,752 --> 01:22:56,453
this.

2243
01:22:56,453 --> 01:22:57,188
I just want to be transparent

2244
01:22:57,188 --> 01:23:00,157
about that because I do think

2245
01:23:00,157 --> 01:23:00,825
it's it's critical to ensure

2246
01:23:00,825 --> 01:23:03,825
that the intended effect of

2247
01:23:04,796 --> 01:23:05,496
this committee lands in the way

2248
01:23:05,496 --> 01:23:09,960
that it's supposed to land in

2249
01:23:09,534 --> 01:23:10,268
terms of impact item as 5 or 1

2250
01:23:10,268 --> 01:23:13,268
appreciate the work that's been

2251
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:15,720
done here.

2252
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,100
The one thing that I will flag

2253
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:22,880
is wanting to be sure that we

2254
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:23,614
are tracking what

2255
01:23:23,614 --> 01:23:24,382
the enforcement of this

2256
01:23:24,382 --> 01:23:27,382
ordinance looks like Once that

2257
01:23:28,352 --> 01:23:28,786
does go into effect there are

2258
01:23:28,786 --> 01:23:30,786
already gross

2259
01:23:33,224 --> 01:23:33,924
disproportionality in terms of

2260
01:23:33,924 --> 01:23:34,425
enforcement of the variety of

2261
01:23:34,425 --> 01:23:36,825
laws in the city.

2262
01:23:40,431 --> 01:23:42,831
Young people experience those

2263
01:23:44,768 --> 01:23:45,403
disproportionate enforcements

2264
01:23:45,403 --> 01:23:46,103
in a significant way.

2265
01:23:46,103 --> 01:23:49,103
The school to prison pipeline

2266
01:23:49,741 --> 01:23:50,675
is real.

2267
01:23:50,675 --> 01:23:54,275
The youth to prison pipeline is

2268
01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:59,918
real And I want to be sure that

2269
01:23:59,918 --> 01:24:00,551
this ordinance is being

2270
01:24:00,551 --> 01:24:01,186
enforced with the intended

2271
01:24:01,186 --> 01:24:03,586
effect of protecting young

2272
01:24:04,622 --> 01:24:08,222
people from harm not as a

2273
01:24:09,461 --> 01:24:10,161
pretext to additional contacts

2274
01:24:10,161 --> 01:24:10,795
with law from law enforcement

2275
01:24:10,795 --> 01:24:13,195
to young people especially

2276
01:24:14,532 --> 01:24:15,467
young people of color.

2277
01:24:15,467 --> 01:24:18,969
I do I, I will be very closely

2278
01:24:18,969 --> 01:24:19,603
looking to see that black and

2279
01:24:19,603 --> 01:24:20,338
brown youth are not being

2280
01:24:20,338 --> 01:24:22,338
disproportionately targeted for

2281
01:24:24,342 --> 01:24:25,430
enforcement of this law.

2282
01:24:25,430 --> 01:24:25,376
So understand the desired

2283
01:24:25,376 --> 01:24:27,376
effect.

2284
01:24:29,114 --> 01:24:32,714
I too have been very concerned

2285
01:24:33,151 --> 01:24:33,918
at times when I've seen young

2286
01:24:33,918 --> 01:24:36,918
folks bombing down hills on

2287
01:24:38,456 --> 01:24:42,560
e-bikes and all of that All

2288
01:24:43,194 --> 01:24:44,620
that can go wrong there and

2289
01:24:44,620 --> 01:24:47,565
again just want to be sure that

2290
01:24:47,565 --> 01:24:48,165
we're not opening the door to

2291
01:24:48,165 --> 01:24:48,766
disproportionate and

2292
01:24:48,766 --> 01:24:50,766
unnecessary interactions

2293
01:24:57,242 --> 01:24:57,976
between young folks and the in

2294
01:24:57,976 --> 01:24:58,310
law enforcement or the justice

2295
01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:59,100
system.

2296
01:24:59,100 --> 01:25:02,610
And I'll just play out one

2297
01:25:02,881 --> 01:25:05,817
example where we could see this

2298
01:25:05,817 --> 01:25:06,684
happening where a young person

2299
01:25:06,684 --> 01:25:09,840
13 or 14 years old, maybe 15,

2300
01:25:10,488 --> 01:25:11,456
16 or 17 depending on how

2301
01:25:11,456 --> 01:25:15,560
creative folks want to be in

2302
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:16,861
terms of of enforcing this or

2303
01:25:16,861 --> 01:25:19,861
attempting to enforce this law

2304
01:25:21,660 --> 01:25:21,766
gets stopped with the pretext

2305
01:25:21,766 --> 01:25:22,234
of checking to make sure that

2306
01:25:22,234 --> 01:25:24,634
the person is of

2307
01:25:25,704 --> 01:25:26,505
the appropriate age to be

2308
01:25:26,505 --> 01:25:30,700
riding a class one or class two

2309
01:25:30,700 --> 01:25:30,675
e-bike and that initiates an

2310
01:25:30,675 --> 01:25:32,675
unnecessary contact between

2311
01:25:35,130 --> 01:25:35,413
that young person and

2312
01:25:35,413 --> 01:25:36,281
the system.

2313
01:25:36,281 --> 01:25:39,881
If that person is not carrying

2314
01:25:39,985 --> 01:25:40,652
id you can kind of see it going

2315
01:25:40,652 --> 01:25:44,156
from there in terms of what

2316
01:25:44,156 --> 01:25:44,756
that contact can look like And

2317
01:25:44,756 --> 01:25:45,457
again thinking about my

2318
01:25:45,457 --> 01:25:46,580
constituents, the young folks

2319
01:25:46,580 --> 01:25:49,580
that I worked with over

2320
01:25:49,361 --> 01:25:52,961
the years who have have had

2321
01:25:53,998 --> 01:25:54,666
negative experiences that very

2322
01:25:54,666 --> 01:25:57,660
rarely involve them actually

2323
01:25:57,702 --> 01:26:00,102
causing harm but has

2324
01:26:02,507 --> 01:26:03,207
permanently clouded their their

2325
01:26:03,207 --> 01:26:06,207
perception of the city, their

2326
01:26:07,546 --> 01:26:08,413
perception of public safety.

2327
01:26:08,413 --> 01:26:12,830
I want to make sure that this

2328
01:26:12,830 --> 01:26:12,384
doesn't open the door for that

2329
01:26:12,384 --> 01:26:13,118
.

2330
01:26:13,118 --> 01:26:13,819
And then lastly just want to

2331
01:26:13,819 --> 01:26:17,322
make sure that we continue to

2332
01:26:17,322 --> 01:26:18,560
to encourage folks to to ride

2333
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:18,757
when possible that we encourage

2334
01:26:18,757 --> 01:26:21,757
folks to develop those habits

2335
01:26:21,993 --> 01:26:22,761
rather than discourage that.

2336
01:26:22,761 --> 01:26:23,462
That's important to me as well.

2337
01:26:23,462 --> 01:26:23,795
So I appreciate the intended

2338
01:26:23,795 --> 01:26:25,795
effect.

2339
01:26:27,332 --> 01:26:28,330
I will support the motion in

2340
01:26:28,330 --> 01:26:28,700
front of us but we'll be

2341
01:26:28,700 --> 01:26:31,700
looking closely to make sure

2342
01:26:31,904 --> 01:26:32,504
that it's not being enforced in

2343
01:26:32,504 --> 01:26:32,871
a disproportionate way.

2344
01:26:32,871 --> 01:26:33,539
Thank you.

2345
01:26:33,539 --> 01:26:34,272
Council PRESIDENT All right.

2346
01:26:34,272 --> 01:26:34,605
Thank you, Council Member de La

2347
01:26:34,605 --> 01:26:36,542
Rivera.

2348
01:26:36,542 --> 01:26:37,142
We'll go next to Council member

2349
01:26:37,142 --> 01:26:37,709
Foster Yes, thank you.

2350
01:26:37,709 --> 01:26:39,709
>> Council PRESIDENT.

2351
01:26:41,380 --> 01:26:42,800
i just would like to register I

2352
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,800
will be supporting the consent

2353
01:26:45,684 --> 01:26:46,552
agenda but I would like to

2354
01:26:46,552 --> 01:26:50,152
register a no vote for item

2355
01:26:51,190 --> 01:26:52,570
number 50.

2356
01:26:52,570 --> 01:26:55,570
The new contract with Biji

2357
01:26:56,195 --> 01:27:00,165
would be to g Now again we are

2358
01:27:00,165 --> 01:27:00,832
ending a contract with a

2359
01:27:00,832 --> 01:27:03,232
certified black women owned

2360
01:27:05,203 --> 01:27:05,905
woman owned business and we are

2361
01:27:05,905 --> 01:27:08,905
entering into a new agreement

2362
01:27:09,308 --> 01:27:09,975
with a non certified firm at

2363
01:27:09,975 --> 01:27:13,575
double the cost and that is

2364
01:27:13,846 --> 01:27:14,780
very problematic for me.

2365
01:27:14,780 --> 01:27:15,800
So I will be registering a no

2366
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:15,447
vote.

2367
01:27:15,447 --> 01:27:17,447
All right.

2368
01:27:19,318 --> 01:27:19,618
Thank you, Councilmember Foster

2369
01:27:19,618 --> 01:27:20,419
.

2370
01:27:20,419 --> 01:27:21,120
We'll go back to council member

2371
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:21,587
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

2372
01:27:21,587 --> 01:27:23,587
I appreciate it.

2373
01:27:23,589 --> 01:27:24,356
Councilmember Eloy Rivera's

2374
01:27:24,356 --> 01:27:27,356
points are completely spot on

2375
01:27:28,727 --> 01:27:29,361
on the historical and societal

2376
01:27:29,361 --> 01:27:29,662
effects that he's talking

2377
01:27:29,662 --> 01:27:31,662
about.

2378
01:27:32,980 --> 01:27:32,764
I just want to point out about

2379
01:27:32,764 --> 01:27:33,432
20 to 34 does account for

2380
01:27:33,432 --> 01:27:34,650
collection of the data that

2381
01:27:34,650 --> 01:27:36,802
he's pointing out that are

2382
01:27:36,802 --> 01:27:37,570
important.

2383
01:27:37,570 --> 01:27:38,237
Subsection d of that state law

2384
01:27:38,237 --> 01:27:41,574
says that the when we submit

2385
01:27:41,574 --> 01:27:42,207
the data to the state to

2386
01:27:42,207 --> 01:27:42,908
the state legislature as a

2387
01:27:42,908 --> 01:27:45,908
result of this pilot program,

2388
01:27:46,780 --> 01:27:47,450
it does include how many times

2389
01:27:47,450 --> 01:27:50,645
a person is stopped while under

2390
01:27:50,716 --> 01:27:51,417
the age of 12 but then where

2391
01:27:51,417 --> 01:27:54,417
they an officer thought they

2392
01:27:55,221 --> 01:27:55,955
were under the age of 12 but

2393
01:27:55,955 --> 01:27:56,655
was in fact over the age limit.

2394
01:27:56,655 --> 01:27:59,791
The officer does have to take

2395
01:27:59,791 --> 01:28:00,426
down information about

2396
01:28:00,426 --> 01:28:01,127
perceived race, ethnicity,

2397
01:28:01,127 --> 01:28:04,127
gender and approximate age of

2398
01:28:04,830 --> 01:28:05,464
the person stopped and provided

2399
01:28:05,464 --> 01:28:06,199
that the identification of

2400
01:28:06,199 --> 01:28:06,866
these characteristics is solely

2401
01:28:06,866 --> 01:28:07,466
based on the observation or

2402
01:28:07,466 --> 01:28:09,735
perception of the police

2403
01:28:09,735 --> 01:28:10,236
officer who initiated

2404
01:28:10,236 --> 01:28:10,937
the traffic stop.

2405
01:28:10,937 --> 01:28:14,240
So I appreciate his points on

2406
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:14,941
that And note that the state

2407
01:28:14,941 --> 01:28:15,541
legislature does require us to

2408
01:28:15,541 --> 01:28:17,941
collect and submit that

2409
01:28:19,110 --> 01:28:19,645
information to protect against

2410
01:28:19,645 --> 01:28:20,346
the issues he brought up.

2411
01:28:20,346 --> 01:28:20,713
So thank you for those points.

2412
01:28:20,713 --> 01:28:22,713
All right.

2413
01:28:24,450 --> 01:28:25,118

that are not on the agenda but

2470
01:29:58,360 --> 01:29:58,945
within the subject matter

2471

2472

Council.

2487
01:30:24,604 --> 01:30:28,204
We will begin with in person

2488
01:30:28,675 --> 01:30:29,209
comment Maximillian Schmitt

2489
01:30:29,209 --> 01:30:29,943
Please come forward.

2490
01:30:29,943 --> 01:30:32,943
You'll have two minutes to

2491
01:30:38,118 --> 01:30:38,985
speak.

2492
01:30:38,985 --> 01:30:40,985
Communist countries across

2493
01:30:42,656 --> 01:30:43,290
the world are eliminating

2494
01:30:43,290 --> 01:30:45,690
dissidents and killing off

2495
01:30:47,427 --> 01:30:48,295
anyone who opposes them and how

2496
01:30:48,295 --> 01:30:51,895
they do this Is there actually

2497
01:30:52,832 --> 01:30:53,467
people What if I told you that

2498
01:30:53,467 --> 01:30:56,467
if someone does a hermetic

2499
01:30:57,304 --> 01:30:57,904
chant in a masonic lodge they

2500
01:30:57,904 --> 01:30:58,639
have the ability to look

2501
01:30:58,639 --> 01:30:59,172
through your eyes and read your

2502
01:30:59,172 --> 01:31:01,572
mind and access your

2503
01:31:01,742 --> 01:31:02,509
consciousness completely.

2504
01:31:02,509 --> 01:31:03,430
And what's going on is

2505
01:31:03,430 --> 01:31:05,430
communist countries.

2506
01:31:06,780 --> 01:31:07,347
If someone's a dissident they

2507
01:31:07,347 --> 01:31:08,140
will actually surround

2508
01:31:08,140 --> 01:31:11,140
the dissident and they will

2509
01:31:12,318 --> 01:31:13,850
speak gibberish half gibberish

2510
01:31:13,850 --> 01:31:16,850
half on like patronizing their

2511
01:31:16,790 --> 01:31:17,558
private thoughts to drive them

2512
01:31:17,558 --> 01:31:21,158
mentally ill to on suicide or

2513
01:31:21,327 --> 01:31:21,695
mental illness or drug

2514
01:31:21,695 --> 01:31:22,396
addiction.

2515
01:31:22,396 --> 01:31:22,796
And it's it's extremely cruel

2516
01:31:22,796 --> 01:31:23,397
and unusual.

2517
01:31:23,397 --> 01:31:25,699
What's the equivalent of

2518
01:31:25,699 --> 01:31:26,400
wearing headphones speaking

2519
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,800
gibberish or patronizing your

2520
01:31:30,537 --> 01:31:31,271
private thoughts nonstop and

2521
01:31:31,271 --> 01:31:31,939
that those communist tactics to

2522
01:31:31,939 --> 01:31:34,339
remove dissidents has sadly

2523
01:31:35,876 --> 01:31:36,577
spilled over into San Diego

2524
01:31:36,577 --> 01:31:40,177
where I'm someone who's done a

2525
01:31:41,281 --> 01:31:42,349
lot of grassroots on my own on

2526
01:31:42,349 --> 01:31:46,153
my own free time I took it upon

2527
01:31:46,153 --> 01:31:47,200
myself to go to the store and

2528
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,323
get a Trump flag and wave a

2529
01:31:50,323 --> 01:31:51,191
Trump flag on the corner.

2530
01:31:51,191 --> 01:31:54,962
That's what I like to do for

2531
01:31:54,962 --> 01:31:55,629
fun And after that happened I

2532
01:31:55,629 --> 01:31:58,629
started to get surrounded by

2533
01:31:59,633 --> 01:32:00,300
people telepathic Freemasons

2534
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:02,300
speaking gibberish nonstop,

2535
01:32:04,738 --> 01:32:05,439
driving me insane, driving me

2536
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:06,400
crazy And I wanted to say

2537
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:09,400
the gop doesn't do that.

2538
01:32:09,342 --> 01:32:10,210
We don't target people who

2539
01:32:10,210 --> 01:32:14,247
don't like the gop and try to

2540
01:32:14,247 --> 01:32:14,848
drive them crazy and kill them

2541
01:32:14,848 --> 01:32:15,216
with driving them crazy

2542
01:32:15,216 --> 01:32:17,216
gibberish.

2543
01:32:19,190 --> 01:32:19,620
That's what communists do and

2544
01:32:19,620 --> 01:32:20,354
that's what liberals do.

2545
01:32:20,354 --> 01:32:23,390
And I want to make it clear

2546
01:32:23,390 --> 01:32:23,824
that liberals do not care about

2547
01:32:23,824 --> 01:32:24,491
human rights.

2548
01:32:24,491 --> 01:32:25,125
They're supposed to be like

2549
01:32:25,125 --> 01:32:28,125
the party that cares about

2550
01:32:28,262 --> 01:32:31,262
human rights, cares about any

2551
01:32:32,500 --> 01:32:33,134
hate against homosexuals, cares

2552
01:32:33,134 --> 01:32:33,868
about illegal immigrants.

2553
01:32:33,868 --> 01:32:36,268
However they're using communist

2554
01:32:38,138 --> 01:32:38,606
tactics to kill people who

2555
01:32:38,606 --> 01:32:39,340
don't like them.

2556
01:32:39,340 --> 01:32:39,806
>> So liberals aren't the party

2557
01:32:39,806 --> 01:32:41,806
of human rights.

2558
01:32:42,175 --> 01:32:42,576
They're phonies.

2559
01:32:42,576 --> 01:32:43,277
Thank you.

2560
01:32:43,277 --> 01:32:46,277
That does conclude your time.

2561
01:32:51,284 --> 01:32:52,253
Next up is allegedly Andre

2562
01:32:52,253 --> 01:32:55,853
lived to experience should be a

2563
01:32:57,257 --> 01:32:57,958
requirement not for that but

2564
01:32:57,958 --> 01:32:58,726
whatever I mean because I feel

2565
01:32:58,726 --> 01:33:01,662
like you're just saying that

2566
01:33:01,662 --> 01:33:02,363
you're going to do that and

2567
01:33:02,363 --> 01:33:05,963
role I would actually say that

2568
01:33:06,333 --> 01:33:07,680
collecting that guilt data on

2569
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:07,802
children under 12 could be very

2570
01:33:07,802 --> 01:33:10,802
concerning with the things that

2571
01:33:11,472 --> 01:33:12,139
happen with children and data

2572
01:33:12,139 --> 01:33:14,539
collection with your guys's

2573
01:33:16,243 --> 01:33:17,111
cannabis item yesterday.

2574
01:33:17,111 --> 01:33:17,712
I'm wondering if you know that

2575
01:33:17,712 --> 01:33:20,712
in DECEMBER that it got

2576
01:33:21,318 --> 01:33:22,820
reclassified as a schedule

2577
01:33:22,820 --> 01:33:22,750
three like ketamine and so it's

2578
01:33:22,750 --> 01:33:25,750
going to have to be

2579
01:33:26,721 --> 01:33:27,455
pharmaceutical grade and have

2580
01:33:27,455 --> 01:33:29,855
like fda approved manufacturing

2581
01:33:31,225 --> 01:33:31,992
and all of these things.

2582
01:33:31,992 --> 01:33:32,726
So as you're bringing in these

2583
01:33:32,726 --> 01:33:33,327
requirements I mean the goal is

2584
01:33:33,327 --> 01:33:35,729
to like get the cannabis

2585
01:33:35,729 --> 01:33:36,563
industry out of here.

2586
01:33:36,563 --> 01:33:37,197
I mean it's just going to go

2587
01:33:37,197 --> 01:33:40,797
back to back to the black

2588
01:33:41,350 --> 01:33:41,736
market but it's going to put

2589
01:33:41,736 --> 01:33:42,369
dispensaries out of business.

2590
01:33:42,369 --> 01:33:43,700
So as you're talking about

2591
01:33:43,700 --> 01:33:46,700
deliveries here and there, you

2592
01:33:46,107 --> 01:33:46,807
know, reclassifying this again,

2593
01:33:46,807 --> 01:33:47,107
that's why it's like back and

2594
01:33:47,107 --> 01:33:47,875
forth.

2595
01:33:47,875 --> 01:33:50,845
I mean it's like a roller

2596
01:33:50,845 --> 01:33:51,779
coaster ride.

2597
01:33:51,779 --> 01:33:52,514
How do you keep up with that?

2598
01:33:52,514 --> 01:33:53,214
But you should think about that

2599
01:33:53,214 --> 01:33:55,614
as you're bringing in

2600
01:33:55,683 --> 01:33:56,284
enforcement and going back to

2601
01:33:56,284 --> 01:33:58,684
Andrea Ebbing it's very

2602
01:34:00,540 --> 01:34:00,722
concerning to know that they

2603
01:34:00,722 --> 01:34:03,122
have deemed her incompetent

2604
01:34:05,260 --> 01:34:05,760
because she's not incompetent

2605
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,160
and a psychological evaluation

2606
01:34:10,298 --> 01:34:10,965
The evaluator said she was

2607
01:34:10,965 --> 01:34:11,666
competent and then somebody

2608
01:34:11,666 --> 01:34:12,299
from the county like a social

2609
01:34:12,299 --> 01:34:15,360
worker came in and started

2610
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:15,770
asking her political questions.

2611
01:34:15,770 --> 01:34:19,370
And so if regardless of that,

2612
01:34:19,841 --> 01:34:20,709
the judge has the deciding

2613
01:34:20,709 --> 01:34:23,709
factor in a pc 1368 So

2614
01:34:24,679 --> 01:34:25,379
the problem is is that this is

2615
01:34:25,379 --> 01:34:26,470
going to stall the proceedings

2616
01:34:26,470 --> 01:34:29,470
and she could potentially go

2617
01:34:29,484 --> 01:34:30,351
into a mental facility and be

2618
01:34:30,351 --> 01:34:31,119
drugged up And this is a way to

2619
01:34:31,119 --> 01:34:34,119
silence people and it's just

2620
01:34:34,989 --> 01:34:35,689
really sad to know that she has

2621
01:34:35,689 --> 01:34:38,689
been fighting for her children

2622
01:34:38,993 --> 01:34:39,694
fighting to report crimes that

2623
01:34:39,694 --> 01:34:40,327
have happened against her and

2624
01:34:40,327 --> 01:34:40,995
this is what takes place.

2625
01:34:40,995 --> 01:34:43,995
And her attorney prior to

2626
01:34:44,232 --> 01:34:44,899
saying that she was incompetent

2627
01:34:44,899 --> 01:34:48,499
like a few weeks prior had

2628
01:34:49,337 --> 01:34:49,904
filed a dismissal of charges

2629
01:34:49,904 --> 01:34:50,271
because the arrest was

2630
01:34:50,271 --> 01:34:52,271
unlawful.

2631
01:34:53,341 --> 01:34:54,142
So there is a huge problem here

2632
01:34:54,142 --> 01:34:54,676
that they have now deemed her

2633
01:34:54,676 --> 01:34:55,243
incompetent when all

2634
01:34:55,243 --> 01:34:57,643
the charges could be.

2635
01:34:58,980 --> 01:34:59,280
>> That does conclude your time

2636
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:00,247
.

2637
01:35:00,247 --> 01:35:03,847
Next up is Lay brother Stephen

2638
01:35:04,486 --> 01:35:04,987
g.

2639
01:35:04,987 --> 01:35:05,754
Said love.

2640

Please come forward to

2641
01:35:06,254 --> 01:35:08,254
the microphone.

2642
01:35:11,326 --> 01:35:11,993
You'll have two minutes.

2643
01:35:11,993 --> 01:35:13,795
I understand you have some

2644
01:35:13,795 --> 01:35:17,395
media you'd like to project if

2645
01:35:23,304 --> 01:35:25,304
possible.

2646
01:35:28,476 --> 01:35:29,177
Good afternoon San Diego City

2647
01:35:29,177 --> 01:35:29,878
Council and Citizens I am Lee

2648
01:35:29,878 --> 01:35:32,278
Brother Steven Gerrard should

2649
01:35:34,150 --> 01:35:34,682
love ski I'd like to open up

2650
01:35:34,682 --> 01:35:35,317
with holy Scripture because

2651
01:35:35,317 --> 01:35:38,587
that's a good thing to do.

2652
01:35:38,587 --> 01:35:41,889
I think And I'm going to open

2653
01:35:41,889 --> 01:35:46,890
up to Proverbs ten in honor of

2654
01:35:46,727 --> 01:35:47,429

2655
01:35:47,429 --> 01:35:48,163
Day Mother's Day, the Father's

2656
01:35:48,163 --> 01:35:51,763

Solomon a wise son make of

2658
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:53,768
the glad father but a foolish

2659
01:35:53,768 --> 01:35:56,972
son is the heaviness of his

2660
01:35:56,972 --> 01:35:59,372
mother treasures of wickedness,

2661
01:36:01,777 --> 01:36:02,444
profit nothing but

2662
01:36:02,444 --> 01:36:02,744
righteousness delivers from

2663
01:36:02,744 --> 01:36:04,744
death.

2664
01:36:07,150 --> 01:36:07,682
The Lord will not suffer

2665
01:36:07,682 --> 01:36:10,682
the soul of the righteous

2666
01:36:11,152 --> 01:36:11,819
the famished But he cast away

2667
01:36:11,819 --> 01:36:14,819
the substance of the wicked.

2668
01:36:15,690 --> 01:36:16,592
He become a poor that delyth

that cause of the shame and

2675
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,640
finally blessings are upon

2676
01:36:35,177 --> 01:36:35,878
the head of the just but

2677
01:36:35,878 --> 01:36:38,878

01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:04,673

that about 4000 citizen sons

2692
01:37:09,545 --> 01:37:11,945

2693
01:37:12,982 --> 01:37:13,649

01:37:13,649 --> 01:37:13,949
marching for the sanctity of

2695
01:37:13,949 --> 01:37:15,949
life.

2696
01:37:17,652 --> 01:37:18,420
We all here in council chambers

2697
01:37:18,420 --> 01:37:18,988
started off our journey of life

2698
01:37:18,988 --> 01:37:20,988
in our mother's.

2699
01:37:22,991 --> 01:37:23,425
Fatherhood starts in

2700
01:37:23,425 --> 01:37:23,960
the mother's.

2701
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:24,393
Motherhood starts in

2702
01:37:24,393 --> 01:37:26,393
the mother's.

2703
01:37:28,930 --> 01:37:29,298
Childhood starts in the mother.

2704
01:37:29,298 --> 01:37:29,999
Thank you.

2705
01:37:29,999 --> 01:37:30,732
That does conclude your time.

01:37:30,732 --> 01:37:32,902
Thank you And I'll continue to

01:37:32,902 --> 01:37:33,569

2709
01:37:33,936 --> 01:37:35,936
Thank you.

2710
01:37:37,706 --> 01:37:38,700
Next speaker is Bob Kozinski My

2711

video.

2712
01:37:51,220 --> 01:37:51,754
Okay we'll bring the video up

2713
01:37:51,754 --> 01:37:52,688
Bob Kozinski here.

2714
01:37:52,688 --> 01:37:53,389
>> a week ago today I was hang

2715
01:37:53,389 --> 01:37:55,789
gliding at Dockweiler State

2716
01:37:56,692 --> 01:37:57,392
Beach in Los Angeles under

2717
01:37:57,392 --> 01:38:00,332
the Dockweiler waiver that has

2718
01:38:00,332 --> 01:38:00,996
been in place since 2017

2719
01:38:00,996 --> 01:38:01,730
the public has been able to

2720
01:38:01,730 --> 01:38:04,730
hang glider at Dockweiler Beach

2721
01:38:04,933 --> 01:38:05,601
for nearly ten years under that

2722
01:38:05,601 --> 01:38:08,601
waiver a decade ago however,

2723
01:38:09,672 --> 01:38:10,372
hang gliding at Dockweiler was

2724
01:38:10,372 --> 01:38:11,600
not allowed by the county of

2725
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:11,407
Los Angeles without use by

2726
01:38:11,407 --> 01:38:13,407
membership.

2727
01:38:14,477 --> 01:38:15,177
Fortunately that all changed

2728
01:38:15,177 --> 01:38:16,440
due to a sequence of events

2729
01:38:16,440 --> 01:38:19,181
that started right here in San

2730
01:38:19,181 --> 01:38:19,915
Diego On JULY 24th, 2011.

2731
01:38:19,915 --> 01:38:22,915
A female student named Shannon

2732
01:38:24,253 --> 01:38:24,853
Hamby was taking lessons at

2733
01:38:24,853 --> 01:38:25,321
Tori through the city's

2734
01:38:25,321 --> 01:38:26,550
concessionaire.

2735
01:38:26,550 --> 01:38:29,250
She was under radio supervision

2736
01:38:29,250 --> 01:38:29,625
when she was flown directly

2737
01:38:29,625 --> 01:38:29,959
into the path of another

2738
01:38:29,959 --> 01:38:30,593
student.

2739
01:38:30,593 --> 01:38:33,593
She crashed and was badly

2740
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:34,897
injured.

2741
01:38:34,897 --> 01:38:35,598
I was contacted by Shannon's

2742
01:38:35,598 --> 01:38:38,867
lawyer and asked to testify as

2743
01:38:38,867 --> 01:38:39,602
an expert witness and I did.

2744
01:38:39,602 --> 01:38:42,602
My testimony in SEPTEMBER of

2745
01:38:43,206 --> 01:38:43,873
2014 was solid and the case was

2746
01:38:43,873 --> 01:38:44,473
quickly settled in Shannon's

2747
01:38:44,473 --> 01:38:44,807
favor for an undisclosed

2748
01:38:44,807 --> 01:38:46,807
amount.

2749
01:38:48,177 --> 01:38:48,878
Uber ended up losing their

2750
01:38:48,878 --> 01:38:49,211
insurance coverage by November

2751
01:38:49,211 --> 01:38:51,211
of 2014.

2752
01:38:53,416 --> 01:38:54,160
I was retaliated against by

2753
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:54,617
your concessionaire who

2754
01:38:54,617 --> 01:38:57,170
conspired with you spend

2755
01:38:57,286 --> 01:38:58,200
the spring of 2015 to have me

2756
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,200
expelled for my testimony which

2757
01:39:02,250 --> 01:39:02,725
ended my ability to fly at all

2758
01:39:02,725 --> 01:39:03,292
use for sites including Torrey

2759
01:39:03,292 --> 01:39:05,292
Pines and Dockweiler.

2760
01:39:06,996 --> 01:39:07,797
In early 2017 we met with newly

2761
01:39:07,797 --> 01:39:10,797
elected Barbara Bree for help

2762
01:39:11,401 --> 01:39:12,134
Barbara Bree suggested a flight

2763
01:39:12,134 --> 01:39:15,734
waiver to solve the problem but

2764
01:39:15,938 --> 01:39:16,706
she never followed through.

2765
01:39:16,706 --> 01:39:17,473
Joel Foulston I also spoke to

2766
01:39:17,473 --> 01:39:20,443
the Los Angeles County Board of

2767
01:39:20,443 --> 01:39:21,144
Supervisors While Barbara Bree

2768
01:39:21,144 --> 01:39:24,744
did nothing here in San Diego,

2769
01:39:25,181 --> 01:39:25,847
Los Angeles Supervisor Janice

2770
01:39:25,847 --> 01:39:26,382
Hahn stepped up and actually

2771
01:39:26,382 --> 01:39:28,382
instituted a waiver.

2772
01:39:30,190 --> 01:39:30,753
The first Dockweiler waivers

2773
01:39:30,753 --> 01:39:34,223
were issued to Joe Foust, Frank

2774
01:39:34,223 --> 01:39:34,924
Culver and myself on JULY 26th,

2775
01:39:34,924 --> 01:39:37,924
2017 and we have flown under

2776
01:39:39,529 --> 01:39:39,829
those waivers without incident

2777
01:39:39,829 --> 01:39:40,463
.

2778
01:39:40,463 --> 01:39:41,164
Ever since Barbara Barrie

2779
01:39:41,164 --> 01:39:44,133
dodged the issue for the rest

2780
01:39:44,133 --> 01:39:44,733
of her term until her failed

2781
01:39:44,733 --> 01:39:45,401
mayoral bid in 2020.

2782
01:39:45,401 --> 01:39:48,401
Joe LaCava has followed her

2783
01:39:49,371 --> 01:39:50,390
lead throughout his entire term

2784
01:39:50,390 --> 01:39:50,707
reactivate the Torrey Pines

2785
01:39:50,707 --> 01:39:53,707
City Park Advisory Board and

2786
01:39:54,810 --> 01:39:55,210
institute a Torrey Pines flight

2787
01:39:55,210 --> 01:39:55,711
waiver now.

2788
01:39:55,711 --> 01:39:57,680
>> Thank you, Tom.

2789
01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:59,680
Thank you.

2790
01:40:07,157 --> 01:40:10,157
Next speaker is Anthony Ralphs

2791
01:40:12,362 --> 01:40:13,290
Good.

2792
01:40:13,290 --> 01:40:13,697
Good afternoon City Council.

2793
01:40:13,697 --> 01:40:16,970
Good afternoon City Council.

2794
01:40:17,367 --> 01:40:18,680
I'm sure you're probably

2795
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:18,334
wondering what the flowers are

2796
01:40:18,334 --> 01:40:19,690
for.

2797
01:40:19,690 --> 01:40:22,338
The flowers are from Dee Flock,

2798
01:40:22,338 --> 01:40:23,720
San Diego and they are to all

2799
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:23,807
of our city council members who

2800
01:40:23,807 --> 01:40:26,807
voted against Flock and who

2801
01:40:27,910 --> 01:40:28,378
respect their constituencies

2802
01:40:28,378 --> 01:40:28,978
privacy rights.

2803
01:40:28,978 --> 01:40:31,848
And I actually got some.

2804
01:40:31,848 --> 01:40:32,381
I tried to find some blue

2805
01:40:32,381 --> 01:40:32,949
irises since they're

2806
01:40:32,949 --> 01:40:33,316
the official flower of

2807
01:40:33,316 --> 01:40:35,316
the city.

2808
01:40:36,553 --> 01:40:37,187
I wasn't able to find any But I

2809
01:40:37,187 --> 01:40:37,921
did get these irises that

2810
01:40:37,921 --> 01:40:40,921
really resemble the blue irises

2811
01:40:41,925 --> 01:40:42,259
And I think that they're really

2812
01:40:42,259 --> 01:40:42,992
pretty.

2813
01:40:42,992 --> 01:40:46,296
I wanted to give these two are

2814
01:40:46,296 --> 01:40:46,930
independent budget analysts to

2815
01:40:46,930 --> 01:40:49,330
Charles Modica because he

2816
01:40:51,234 --> 01:40:51,935
advised the city council to cut

2817
01:40:51,935 --> 01:40:52,402
flock from the mayor's budget.

2818
01:40:52,402 --> 01:40:54,402
And because he's

2819
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:56,706
the independent budget analyst,

2820
01:40:56,706 --> 01:40:57,373
we should be listening to him.

2821
01:40:57,373 --> 01:40:59,773
We should be respecting

2822
01:41:00,610 --> 01:41:01,277
the financial input that he

2823
01:41:01,277 --> 01:41:01,945
gives our city and the fact

2824
01:41:01,945 --> 01:41:02,646
that we are not and the fact

2825
01:41:02,646 --> 01:41:05,646
that we are disrespecting our

2826
01:41:05,782 --> 01:41:06,483
constituent his privacy and

2827
01:41:06,483 --> 01:41:09,886
that we are giving an already

2828
01:41:09,886 --> 01:41:10,554
overbloated police budget even

2829
01:41:10,554 --> 01:41:11,254
more money and even more

2830
01:41:11,254 --> 01:41:11,854
surveillance technology to use

2831
01:41:11,854 --> 01:41:14,254
against us is extremely

2832
01:41:15,258 --> 01:41:16,126
concerning.

2833
01:41:16,126 --> 01:41:20,630
In this last week I saw a

2834
01:41:20,630 --> 01:41:20,864
report that was detailing 17

2835
01:41:20,864 --> 01:41:23,864
cases of police stalking their

2836
01:41:25,402 --> 01:41:25,968
former ex-girlfriends using

2837
01:41:25,968 --> 01:41:28,368
Floc a lpr technology.

2838
01:41:30,507 --> 01:41:31,241
Just yesterday there was a

2839
01:41:31,241 --> 01:41:34,841
shooting and it was not stopped

2840
01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:36,146
due to Floc a lpr technology.

2841
01:41:36,146 --> 01:41:36,813
That's the second time that

2842
01:41:36,813 --> 01:41:37,114
Floc has failed in the last

2843
01:41:37,114 --> 01:41:39,114
month.

2844
01:41:40,500 --> 01:41:40,650
If I were to fail at my job

2845
01:41:40,650 --> 01:41:43,500
like that in significant

2846
01:41:44,521 --> 01:41:45,189
instances where I was expected

2847
01:41:45,189 --> 01:41:45,888
to give a performance and I

2848
01:41:45,888 --> 01:41:48,888
didn't deliver I would be

2849
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:50,527
immediately fired.

2850
01:41:50,527 --> 01:41:54,127
I don't understand why as dpd

2851
01:41:54,498 --> 01:41:55,199
continues to be shown

2852
01:41:55,199 --> 01:41:55,832
the leniency that they've been

2853
01:41:55,832 --> 01:41:56,533
shown and I'm not sure how

2854
01:41:56,533 --> 01:41:59,533
we're going to hold them

2855
01:41:59,837 --> 01:42:00,570
accountable when we have $42

2856
01:42:00,570 --> 01:42:03,570
million in the public liability

2857
01:42:04,974 --> 01:42:05,642
fund that they've blown through

2858
01:42:05,642 --> 01:42:09,242
and all of the lawsuits that

2859
01:42:10,140 --> 01:42:10,581
they've cost the city and we're

2860
01:42:10,581 --> 01:42:11,281
not done paying those.

2861
01:42:11,281 --> 01:42:11,949
I would like to see this

2862
01:42:11,949 --> 01:42:14,349
council focus on police

2863
01:42:14,885 --> 01:42:15,486
accountability.

2864
01:42:15,486 --> 01:42:16,153
>> Thank you.

2865
01:42:16,153 --> 01:42:16,820
That does conclude your time

2866
01:42:16,820 --> 01:42:19,356
And our city clerk staff can

2867
01:42:19,356 --> 01:42:20,230
help distribute the flowers.

2868
01:42:20,230 --> 01:42:20,490
That does conclude in-person

2869
01:42:20,490 --> 01:42:22,490
public comment.

2870
01:42:24,762 --> 01:42:25,620
I've started the five minute

2871
01:42:25,620 --> 01:42:25,762
timer.

2872
01:42:25,762 --> 01:42:29,362
In the committee room we will

2873
01:42:29,366 --> 01:42:30,660
now turn to the virtual queue

2874
01:42:30,660 --> 01:42:30,768
in which there are currently

2875
01:42:30,768 --> 01:42:33,168
ten participants requesting to

2876
01:42:35,500 --> 01:42:35,772
speak.

2877
01:42:35,772 --> 01:42:36,106
We will go first to Blair

2878
01:42:36,106 --> 01:42:38,106
Beekman.

2879
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:39,476
Please begin your comments.

2880
01:42:39,476 --> 01:42:41,476
All right.

2881
01:42:44,748 --> 01:42:45,182
Thank you First for me to go

2882
01:42:45,182 --> 01:42:47,182
first myself.

2883
01:42:47,785 --> 01:42:48,552
But first as I am also really

2884
01:42:48,552 --> 01:42:52,152
trying I think we can address

2885
01:42:53,123 --> 01:42:53,858
our issues in new ways.

2886
01:42:53,858 --> 01:42:56,793
I'm hoping that there is simply

2887
01:42:56,793 --> 01:42:57,361
a can I feel there's

2888
01:42:57,361 --> 01:42:58,940
the continuing growing

2889
01:42:58,940 --> 01:42:58,695
political will in the past year

2890
01:42:58,695 --> 01:43:01,695
in San Diego and across

2891
01:43:02,366 --> 01:43:03,000
the country to no longer do

2892
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:03,734
business with Fox as block

2893
01:43:03,734 --> 01:43:06,734
maybe developing its ideas its

2894
01:43:06,970 --> 01:43:07,571
data within the context of

2895
01:43:07,571 --> 01:43:07,938
supporting international

2896
01:43:07,938 --> 01:43:08,672
policies.

2897
01:43:08,672 --> 01:43:12,272
The work I have been describing

2898
01:43:12,343 --> 01:43:13,430
for months now How about

2899
01:43:13,430 --> 01:43:13,744
the city of Oakland County of

2900
01:43:13,744 --> 01:43:16,744
Alameda are creating a process

2901
01:43:17,214 --> 01:43:17,948
of full community input best

2902
01:43:17,948 --> 01:43:21,548
practices to leapfrog for a new

2903
01:43:21,986 --> 01:43:22,753
better principles approach

2904
01:43:22,753 --> 01:43:23,621
under this is simply a good

2905
01:43:23,621 --> 01:43:27,821
model San Diego can refer to at

2906
01:43:28,159 --> 01:43:31,759
this time a good beginning one

2907
01:43:36,433 --> 01:43:36,967
I simply should be continuing

2908
01:43:36,967 --> 01:43:37,602
community dialog and

2909
01:43:37,602 --> 01:43:38,903
conversations now formerly

2910
01:43:38,903 --> 01:43:39,569
leader Carpenter Fox and to

2911
01:43:39,569 --> 01:43:42,569
look for a better principal

2912
01:43:42,606 --> 01:43:43,307
vendor or do we simply give up

2913
01:43:43,307 --> 01:43:43,875
the vendor process altogether

2914
01:43:43,875 --> 01:43:46,875
and work out new data

2915
01:43:48,412 --> 01:43:49,213
collection arrangements

2916
01:43:49,213 --> 01:43:49,914
securely So owners of new San

2917
01:43:49,914 --> 01:43:53,514
Diego ale yards at the same

2918
01:43:55,452 --> 01:43:56,153
time San Diego we can be

2919
01:43:56,153 --> 01:43:56,721
working towards something of a

2920
01:43:56,721 --> 01:43:58,721
yearly review process.

2921
01:44:00,525 --> 01:44:01,292
I feel that can be important

2922
01:44:01,292 --> 01:44:02,590
also at this time and how to

2923
01:44:02,590 --> 01:44:05,590
create a small reduction of

2924
01:44:05,563 --> 01:44:06,230
unnecessary or redundant

2925
01:44:06,230 --> 01:44:06,764
surveillance technology used

2926
01:44:06,764 --> 01:44:09,164
from local San Diego

2927
01:44:10,670 --> 01:44:10,768
neighborhoods And at the same

2928
01:44:10,768 --> 01:44:11,536
same time this will not take

2929
01:44:11,536 --> 01:44:14,239
much away from the current use

2930
01:44:14,239 --> 01:44:14,939
of surveillance technology

2931
01:44:14,939 --> 01:44:17,339
within San Diego neighborhood

2932
01:44:19,143 --> 01:44:19,811
Public safety concerns.

2933
01:44:19,811 --> 01:44:20,378
I'm also hoping this can

2934
01:44:20,378 --> 01:44:21,112
develop a consistent,

2935
01:44:21,112 --> 01:44:23,512
responsible yearly reduction of

2936
01:44:24,248 --> 01:44:24,882
unnecessary unnecessary

2937
01:44:24,882 --> 01:44:27,282
surveillance tech while at

2938
01:44:29,453 --> 01:44:30,120
the same time developing better

2939
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:30,822
principled, more responsible

2940
01:44:30,822 --> 01:44:33,822
community tech use with clear

2941
01:44:34,525 --> 01:44:35,192
oversight.

2942
01:44:35,192 --> 01:44:35,827
I think it can work.

2943
01:44:35,827 --> 01:44:38,227
Monica Montgomery Step two

2944
01:44:39,464 --> 01:44:39,797
years ago Gail yours would be

2945
01:44:39,797 --> 01:44:40,531
reduced.

2946
01:44:40,531 --> 01:44:44,731
That was that was on her mind

2947
01:44:44,869 --> 01:44:45,670
with new APIs and good luck we

2948
01:44:45,670 --> 01:44:46,370
can talk more about your use of

2949
01:44:46,370 --> 01:44:48,770
these accounts conclude your

2950
01:44:49,106 --> 01:44:49,440
time Next speaker is Terry and

2951
01:44:49,440 --> 01:44:51,440
Skelly.

2952
01:44:52,977 --> 01:44:54,977
Please begin.

2953
01:44:58,716 --> 01:44:59,417
Good afternoon San Diego City

2954
01:44:59,417 --> 01:45:00,117
Council Chair McCarver My name

2955
01:45:00,117 --> 01:45:03,530
is Terry and Skelly and I work

2956
01:45:03,530 --> 01:45:03,654
with my planning group on good

2957
01:45:03,654 --> 01:45:04,388
public health and safety

2958
01:45:04,388 --> 01:45:07,388
policies in land use decisions.

2959
01:45:08,393 --> 01:45:09,930
I spoke yesterday and support

2960
01:45:09,930 --> 01:45:09,761
for item 2 or 2 regarding

2961
01:45:09,761 --> 01:45:11,761
creating more comprehensive

2962
01:45:12,530 --> 01:45:12,830
policies regarding popular

2963
01:45:12,830 --> 01:45:13,531
rates.

2964
01:45:13,531 --> 01:45:16,531
I truly appreciate the city's

2965
01:45:17,100 --> 01:45:17,702
efforts to know who is selling

2966
01:45:17,702 --> 01:45:18,570
pot in our cities and where

2967
01:45:18,570 --> 01:45:22,273
the pot is coming from since it

2968
01:45:22,273 --> 01:45:22,907
doesn't seem to have a physical

2969
01:45:22,907 --> 01:45:25,307
location within the city.

2970
01:45:26,311 --> 01:45:27,100
I was concerned that there were

2971
01:45:27,100 --> 01:45:27,679
those yesterday He wanted to

2972
01:45:27,679 --> 01:45:30,679
have a permit from other

2973
01:45:31,182 --> 01:45:31,883
another jurisdiction and then

2974
01:45:31,883 --> 01:45:32,584
wanted to deliver in San Diego

2975
01:45:32,584 --> 01:45:36,184
but did not want to register

2976
01:45:36,354 --> 01:45:36,654
for a permit to deliver in San

2977
01:45:36,654 --> 01:45:37,322
Diego.

2978
01:45:37,322 --> 01:45:40,322
That was a scary declaration

2979
01:45:41,126 --> 01:45:41,792
and made me wonder about all

2980
01:45:41,792 --> 01:45:42,493
those pot entrepreneurs who

2981
01:45:42,493 --> 01:45:45,493
continuously tell us that they

2982
01:45:46,297 --> 01:45:46,630
are providing a necessary

2983
01:45:46,630 --> 01:45:47,298
service.

2984
01:45:47,298 --> 01:45:50,298
However, they don't want to

2985
01:45:50,769 --> 01:45:51,569
abide by the rules and register

2986
01:45:51,569 --> 01:45:55,340
in the city of San Diego to

2987
01:45:55,340 --> 01:45:56,410
deliver pot That makes

2988
01:45:56,410 --> 01:45:56,708
the public wonder if the real

2989
01:45:56,708 --> 01:45:59,708
motive behind selling pot is

2990
01:46:00,879 --> 01:46:01,580
just money which has always

2991
01:46:01,580 --> 01:46:01,880
been the motive behind selling

2992
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:03,880
drugs.

2993
01:46:05,616 --> 01:46:06,318
So I especially appreciate

2994
01:46:06,318 --> 01:46:07,180
the work of City Councilperson

2995
01:46:07,180 --> 01:46:10,180
Camille and staff for creating

2996
01:46:10,622 --> 01:46:11,289
a system of fines associated

2997
01:46:11,289 --> 01:46:11,690
with enforcement against pot

2998
01:46:11,690 --> 01:46:13,690
deliveries.

2999
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:16,461
Doing so illegally.

3000
01:46:16,461 --> 01:46:19,461
I also appreciate the larger

3001
01:46:20,599 --> 01:46:21,232
dialog regarding enforcement

3002
01:46:21,232 --> 01:46:21,767
commitments for the police

3003
01:46:21,767 --> 01:46:22,167
department and code

3004
01:46:22,167 --> 01:46:24,167
enforcement.

3005
01:46:25,303 --> 01:46:25,871
>> Thank you for hearing my

3006
01:46:25,871 --> 01:46:26,238
issues this morning or

3007
01:46:26,238 --> 01:46:28,238
afternoon.

3008
01:46:29,308 --> 01:46:30,750
Thank you.

3009
01:46:30,750 --> 01:46:30,408
Our next speaker is Barbara

3010
01:46:30,408 --> 01:46:32,408
Gordon.

3011
01:46:34,346 --> 01:46:34,812
Please begin.

3012
01:46:34,812 --> 01:46:36,812
>> Thank you.

3013
01:46:38,950 --> 01:46:39,551
As a public health educator I

3014
01:46:39,551 --> 01:46:40,850
wanted to share with you

3015
01:46:40,850 --> 01:46:42,850
the American Medical

3016
01:46:43,822 --> 01:46:44,389
Association's recently adopted

3017
01:46:44,389 --> 01:46:45,560
new policy calling for

3018
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:47,456
the prohibition of flavored

3019
01:46:48,628 --> 01:46:49,293
cannabis vaping products in

3020
01:46:49,293 --> 01:46:51,293
cannabis dispensaries, hemp

3021
01:46:53,130 --> 01:46:53,765
product retailers and other

3022
01:46:53,765 --> 01:46:56,165
retail outlets while also

3023
01:46:58,700 --> 01:46:58,503
advocating for legislate

3024
01:46:58,503 --> 01:46:59,104
changes.

3025
01:46:59,104 --> 01:46:59,738
Their position reflects

3026
01:46:59,738 --> 01:47:01,738
the organization's growing

3027
01:47:03,608 --> 01:47:04,309
concern about public health

3028
01:47:04,309 --> 01:47:04,943
risks associated with flavored

3029
01:47:04,943 --> 01:47:07,343
vaping products and their

3030
01:47:08,780 --> 01:47:09,481
appeal to adolescents and young

3031
01:47:09,481 --> 01:47:12,481
adults, according to the ama.

3032
01:47:13,318 --> 01:47:13,919
Flavors such as fruit candy

3033
01:47:13,919 --> 01:47:16,319
menthol can make vaping

3034
01:47:17,589 --> 01:47:18,900
products more attractive to

3035
01:47:18,900 --> 01:47:18,757
youth, increasing

3036
01:47:18,757 --> 01:47:21,157
the likelihood of initiation

3037
01:47:22,294 --> 01:47:22,994
and long term substance use.

3038
01:47:22,994 --> 01:47:23,729
The new policy extends to

3039
01:47:23,729 --> 01:47:26,129
the ama's longstanding position

3040
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:28,600
reflect in a broader effort to

3041
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:31,600
reduce youth exposure to an

3042
01:47:32,838 --> 01:47:33,238
inhaled psychoactive

3043
01:47:33,238 --> 01:47:33,906
substances.

3044
01:47:33,906 --> 01:47:37,506
The report says there is no

3045
01:47:37,509 --> 01:47:38,243
public health justification for

3046
01:47:38,243 --> 01:47:41,243
flavors that enhance the appeal

3047
01:47:42,548 --> 01:47:43,249
of cannabis based products

3048
01:47:43,249 --> 01:47:45,649
particularly when youth vaping

3049
01:47:47,485 --> 01:47:48,870
remains a significant concern.

3050
01:47:48,870 --> 01:47:50,487
Ama leaders leaders have

3051
01:47:52,124 --> 01:47:52,858
emphasized that protecting

3052
01:47:52,858 --> 01:47:53,559
young people from addiction and

3053
01:47:53,559 --> 01:47:55,959
potential health harms should

3054
01:47:57,463 --> 01:47:58,970
take precedence over

3055
01:47:58,970 --> 01:47:58,531
the commercialization and

3056
01:47:58,531 --> 01:47:58,964
availability.

3057
01:47:58,964 --> 01:48:00,964
>> Thank you.

3058
01:48:02,868 --> 01:48:05,868
That does conclude your time.

3059
01:48:06,710 --> 01:48:06,639
Our next speaker is caller with

3060
01:48:06,639 --> 01:48:08,639
last four digits 8700.

3061
01:48:10,775 --> 01:48:12,775
Please begin.

3062
01:48:16,315 --> 01:48:19,315
Thank you, Joyce And yet

3063
01:48:20,753 --> 01:48:21,554
the beautiful tapestry the lens

3064
01:48:21,554 --> 01:48:25,154
through which we look at and

3065
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:29,920
see life here's my lens.

3066
01:48:30,663 --> 01:48:31,230
What if we are all pollinators

3067
01:48:31,230 --> 01:48:32,331
in city government?

3068
01:48:32,331 --> 01:48:36,101
After 20 years in my work as an

3069
01:48:36,101 --> 01:48:36,569
activist I see a common thread

3070
01:48:36,569 --> 01:48:38,569
through it all.

3071
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:41,240
We are all working to see what

3072
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:43,240
works best.

3073
01:48:45,770 --> 01:48:45,811
We now know that bees are

3074
01:48:45,811 --> 01:48:46,445
connected to a bigger picture

3075
01:48:46,445 --> 01:48:48,845
that includes a mysterious

3076
01:48:50,883 --> 01:48:51,784
miracle.

3077
01:48:51,784 --> 01:48:54,784
Yes, the mysterious miracle is

3078
01:48:55,554 --> 01:48:55,888
a bumpy yet something is

3079
01:48:55,888 --> 01:48:57,888
working.

3080
01:49:00,660 --> 01:49:01,260
We're still here.

3081
01:49:01,260 --> 01:49:03,660
Life is still here.

3082
01:49:05,865 --> 01:49:08,865
I woke up feeling different

3083
01:49:10,670 --> 01:49:13,670
this morning about cgt, about

3084
01:49:14,740 --> 01:49:15,374
public power, about fees,

3085
01:49:15,374 --> 01:49:17,774
parking fees, budget abuse

3086
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:21,514
parks, libraries, even floor

3087
01:49:21,514 --> 01:49:23,514
and so forth.

3088
01:49:25,510 --> 01:49:25,685
We are doing something that

3089
01:49:25,685 --> 01:49:26,619
the whole world is doing.

3090
01:49:26,619 --> 01:49:30,819
We are doing what we are meant

3091
01:49:31,570 --> 01:49:31,891
to do.

3092
01:49:31,891 --> 01:49:35,491
We are fulfilling our role as

3093
01:49:35,694 --> 01:49:36,290
pollinators of the great circle

3094
01:49:36,290 --> 01:49:38,290
of life.

3095
01:49:40,967 --> 01:49:41,734
In my opinion we are so lucky

3096
01:49:41,734 --> 01:49:45,934
We are just happened to be here

3097
01:49:46,500 --> 01:49:47,400
in San Diego.

3098
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:47,407
We are just so lucky and we are

3099
01:49:47,407 --> 01:49:49,407
connected.

3100
01:49:52,450 --> 01:49:53,112
I believe in that.

3101
01:49:53,112 --> 01:49:57,183
i really do And I just I'm

3102
01:49:57,183 --> 01:49:57,817
getting stronger and stronger

3103
01:49:57,817 --> 01:49:58,284
about it through all these

3104
01:49:58,284 --> 01:50:00,284
difficult days.

3105
01:50:02,455 --> 01:50:02,989
It's all connected.

3106
01:50:02,989 --> 01:50:05,389
I believe in that.

3107
01:50:07,393 --> 01:50:07,861
So I hope you'll consider that

3108
01:50:07,861 --> 01:50:08,494
too.

3109
01:50:08,494 --> 01:50:09,950
And I'm sure you're there

3110
01:50:09,950 --> 01:50:09,796
already on many levels.

3111
01:50:09,796 --> 01:50:10,163
Maybe you're even the best of

3112
01:50:10,163 --> 01:50:12,163
the best.

3113
01:50:13,433 --> 01:50:13,766
Help us with our new vision if

3114
01:50:13,766 --> 01:50:14,768
you are.

3115
01:50:14,768 --> 01:50:18,805
So I believe in all of that and

3116
01:50:18,805 --> 01:50:19,171
I believe in the beautiful

3117
01:50:19,171 --> 01:50:19,705
tapestry.

3118
01:50:19,705 --> 01:50:22,105
Love to all beauty.

3119
01:50:23,242 --> 01:50:23,643
Great day.

3120
01:50:23,643 --> 01:50:24,277
Thank you.

3121
01:50:24,277 --> 01:50:27,277
Please know that the five

3122
01:50:27,347 --> 01:50:27,914
minute timer has concluded with

3123
01:50:27,914 --> 01:50:28,281
five speakers left in

3124
01:50:28,281 --> 01:50:29,150
the queue.

3125
01:50:29,150 --> 01:50:29,449
No other speakers will be taken

3126
01:50:29,449 --> 01:50:30,750
at this time.

3127
01:50:30,750 --> 01:50:33,750
Next up is John Elliott.

3128
01:50:36,455 --> 01:50:36,923
Please begin.

3129
01:50:36,923 --> 01:50:37,590
Good afternoon.

3130
01:50:37,590 --> 01:50:39,990
Thank you, Council members.

3131
01:50:41,761 --> 01:50:42,429
Thank you Johnny Lowe for

3132
01:50:42,429 --> 01:50:43,129
discussing lived experience.

3133
01:50:43,129 --> 01:50:46,129
The lived experience that was

3134
01:50:47,100 --> 01:50:47,734
mentioned is not what we would

3135
01:50:47,734 --> 01:50:48,368
define as lived experience

3136
01:50:48,368 --> 01:50:51,368
which is somebody who has

3137
01:50:51,504 --> 01:50:52,305
experienced homelessness within

3138
01:50:52,305 --> 01:50:52,872
the last 5 to 10 years and is

3139
01:50:52,872 --> 01:50:54,872
intimately involved in

3140
01:50:56,476 --> 01:50:56,843
the homeless space as an

3141
01:50:56,843 --> 01:50:57,576
advocate.

3142
01:50:57,576 --> 01:51:01,176
I don't think that anybody here

3143
01:51:02,181 --> 01:51:02,749
should consider experiencing

3144
01:51:02,749 --> 01:51:03,450
somebody who MAY have

3145
01:51:03,450 --> 01:51:05,450
experienced homelessness ten,

3146
01:51:07,153 --> 01:51:07,887
15, 20 years ago not even in

3147
01:51:07,887 --> 01:51:11,487
the region iPad or here because

3148
01:51:12,258 --> 01:51:13,920
things are different now.

3149
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:13,393
I also want to talk about Neil

3150
01:51:13,393 --> 01:51:15,393
Goode.

3151
01:51:17,731 --> 01:51:18,532
So it was not clear to any of

3152
01:51:18,532 --> 01:51:19,232
us that when you voted to cut

3153
01:51:19,232 --> 01:51:22,832
the funding for Neil Good that

3154
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:23,670
there would not be an option to

3155
01:51:23,670 --> 01:51:24,270
do fundraising and maintain

3156
01:51:24,270 --> 01:51:26,670
the operations and that

3157
01:51:28,275 --> 01:51:28,809
the permit was being pulled at

3158
01:51:28,809 --> 01:51:29,509
the end of the year.

3159
01:51:29,509 --> 01:51:29,910
If that is the case that is

3160
01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:31,910
outrageous.

3161
01:51:33,847 --> 01:51:34,548
That means we traded critically

3162
01:51:34,548 --> 01:51:37,548
needed resources for our most

3163
01:51:39,119 --> 01:51:39,686
suffering people to fund floc

3164
01:51:39,686 --> 01:51:40,120
and that is completely

3165
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:42,120
unacceptable.

3166
01:51:44,457 --> 01:51:45,920
It was never made clear in any

3167
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:45,826
of your deliberations that

3168
01:51:45,826 --> 01:51:48,826
the funding you were committing

3169
01:51:50,163 --> 01:51:50,897
or committing was tied to a

3170
01:51:50,897 --> 01:51:53,297
permanent closure by revocation

3171
01:51:56,903 --> 01:51:57,537
of permit and no one including

3172
01:51:57,537 --> 01:51:58,204
everybody in the community

3173
01:51:58,204 --> 01:51:58,772
community Body Alliance was

3174
01:51:58,772 --> 01:52:00,473
aware of that either.

3175
01:52:00,473 --> 01:52:01,241
We would have addressed it

3176
01:52:01,241 --> 01:52:04,241
differently when it comes to

3177
01:52:06,613 --> 01:52:07,480
that issue.

3178
01:52:07,480 --> 01:52:08,114
We need to be revisiting why

3179
01:52:08,114 --> 01:52:10,514
exactly we are terminating

3180
01:52:12,119 --> 01:52:12,719
the permit when there is an

3181
01:52:12,719 --> 01:52:13,320
option and people are

3182
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:13,987
interested to fundraise

3183
01:52:13,987 --> 01:52:16,987
the necessary funds to keep

3184
01:52:18,292 --> 01:52:21,292
the facility open as is.

3185
01:52:24,197 --> 01:52:24,897
And then finally it has come to

3186
01:52:24,897 --> 01:52:28,497
our attention that if you do

3187
01:52:29,236 --> 01:52:30,300
not have a solution for your

3188
01:52:30,300 --> 01:52:30,704
fee voucher by the end of

3189
01:52:30,704 --> 01:52:34,904
the year that you are going to

3190
01:52:35,242 --> 01:52:36,900
be dropped have no priority and

3191
01:52:36,900 --> 01:52:36,710
and be on your own finding

3192
01:52:36,710 --> 01:52:37,344
housing And that too is not

3193
01:52:37,344 --> 01:52:39,344
acceptable especially when

3194
01:52:43,617 --> 01:52:44,284
the county failed all theirs.

3195
01:52:44,284 --> 01:52:44,585
>> That does conclude your

3196
01:52:44,585 --> 01:52:45,252
time.

3197
01:52:45,252 --> 01:52:45,586
Our next speaker is Natalie

3198
01:52:45,586 --> 01:52:47,586
Maskey.

3199
01:52:50,424 --> 01:52:50,824
Please begin.

3200
01:52:50,824 --> 01:52:51,658
Hi.

3201
01:52:51,658 --> 01:52:52,459
i just want to give you an

3202
01:52:52,459 --> 01:52:55,963
update on the letter that I

3203
01:52:55,963 --> 01:52:57,970
received.

3204
01:52:57,970 --> 01:52:57,497
I was on a phone call and I got

3205
01:52:57,497 --> 01:52:59,497
interrupted.

3206
01:53:02,236 --> 01:53:02,869
It basically states for word

3207
01:53:02,869 --> 01:53:03,571
for word that when the San

3208
01:53:03,571 --> 01:53:05,971
Diego Housing Commission stops

3209
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:08,709
paying the rent subsidy you

3210
01:53:08,709 --> 01:53:09,109
will no longer be an chc

3211
01:53:09,109 --> 01:53:09,910
participant.

3212
01:53:09,910 --> 01:53:13,510
You will not need to do

3213
01:53:13,681 --> 01:53:14,381
anything and you will no longer

3214
01:53:14,381 --> 01:53:17,981
be a part of this program.

3215
01:53:20,290 --> 01:53:21,550
I was informed that I would be

3216
01:53:21,550 --> 01:53:21,755
on a waiting list for a project

3217
01:53:21,755 --> 01:53:24,755
based voucher so it's unclear

3218
01:53:25,892 --> 01:53:26,260
to me if that would still be

3219
01:53:26,260 --> 01:53:26,994
the case.

3220
01:53:26,994 --> 01:53:31,194
I have tried contacting I am in

3221
01:53:32,332 --> 01:53:32,833
contact with Legal Aid which it

3222
01:53:32,833 --> 01:53:35,233
tells me to do.

3223
01:53:38,105 --> 01:53:38,872
There's urgency it seems with

3224
01:53:38,872 --> 01:53:41,872
any of these entities surging

3225
01:53:43,811 --> 01:53:44,278
up It still has not seemed to

3226
01:53:44,278 --> 01:53:45,120
get back to me.

3227
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:48,120
I have contacted every single

3228
01:53:50,251 --> 01:53:50,952
entity that I can to put me in

3229
01:53:50,952 --> 01:53:54,552
front of somebody that I can

3230
01:53:56,123 --> 01:53:56,857
relate to How wrong this is.

3231
01:53:56,857 --> 01:53:58,857
It's extremely overwhelming

3232
01:54:02,363 --> 01:54:03,300
going to these websites When I

3233
01:54:03,300 --> 01:54:03,664
spoke last week or the week

3234
01:54:03,664 --> 01:54:06,664
before a willing and able

3235
01:54:08,469 --> 01:54:09,203
bodied person that has

3236
01:54:09,203 --> 01:54:09,937
the ability to do certain tasks

3237
01:54:09,937 --> 01:54:13,537
that is having a really hard

3238
01:54:14,275 --> 01:54:14,842
time completing tasks when

3239
01:54:14,842 --> 01:54:15,510
the other parties are

3240
01:54:15,510 --> 01:54:17,910
participating back or there

3241
01:54:20,481 --> 01:54:21,480
doesn't seem to be an urgency

3242
01:54:21,480 --> 01:54:21,949
in what's happening.

3243
01:54:21,949 --> 01:54:25,352
I'll give you an estimation on

3244
01:54:25,352 --> 01:54:26,120
what NOVEMBER 30th will look

3245
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:29,120
like if nobody else gets

3246
01:54:31,225 --> 01:54:31,592
housing there will be over 1600

3247
01:54:31,592 --> 01:54:32,293
people.

3248
01:54:32,293 --> 01:54:35,893
A lot of them with children

3249
01:54:37,465 --> 01:54:37,755
that will be unhoused on that

3250
01:54:37,755 --> 01:54:39,755
day.

3251
01:54:42,771 --> 01:54:43,438
That is overwhelming to me just

3252
01:54:43,438 --> 01:54:44,720
to even think about and with

3253
01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:45,873
the cuts, where are these

3254
01:54:45,873 --> 01:54:48,273
people going to go?

3255
01:54:52,145 --> 01:54:52,547
Thank you.

3256
01:54:52,547 --> 01:54:53,214
Thank you.

3257
01:54:53,214 --> 01:54:56,214
Next up is Judy Strang.

3258
01:54:58,385 --> 01:54:58,920
Please begin.

3259
01:54:58,920 --> 01:54:59,521
>> Good afternoon.

3260
01:54:59,521 --> 01:55:01,921
San Diego City Council.

3261
01:55:04,992 --> 01:55:05,526
Thank you for the many comments

3262
01:55:05,526 --> 01:55:06,327
we've heard so far.

3263
01:55:06,327 --> 01:55:07,950
I wanted to share with you an

3264
01:55:07,950 --> 01:55:10,950
article that came out from

3265
01:55:10,598 --> 01:55:11,332
the Washington Post in

3266
01:55:11,332 --> 01:55:11,999
association with the University

3267
01:55:11,999 --> 01:55:14,399
of Colorado study regarding

3268
01:55:17,572 --> 01:55:20,572
cannabis and brain surgery as

3269
01:55:23,511 --> 01:55:24,244
Brain Awareness Month.

3270
01:55:24,244 --> 01:55:24,879
I talked about that when we

3271
01:55:24,879 --> 01:55:25,580
were talking about e-bikes

3272
01:55:25,580 --> 01:55:26,114
because that's the injury you

3273
01:55:26,114 --> 01:55:28,514
so often hear about.

3274
01:55:29,500 --> 01:55:29,484
And traumatic brain injuries

3275
01:55:29,484 --> 01:55:30,850
are horrific.

3276
01:55:30,850 --> 01:55:30,752
Those of you who've had

3277
01:55:30,752 --> 01:55:31,252
exposure to that with people

3278
01:55:31,252 --> 01:55:33,252
can appreciate it.

3279
01:55:34,489 --> 01:55:35,156
Anyway, the article from

3280
01:55:35,156 --> 01:55:35,857
Washington Post is entitled

3281
01:55:35,857 --> 01:55:38,257
Seven Unexpected Findings that

3282
01:55:40,662 --> 01:55:41,295
Highlight Significant

3283
01:55:41,295 --> 01:55:41,863
Vulnerabilities of Younger

3284
01:55:41,863 --> 01:55:42,296
Individuals Related to

3285
01:55:42,296 --> 01:55:44,296
Marijuana Use.

3286
01:55:46,702 --> 01:55:47,402
I'm only going to share a

3287
01:55:47,402 --> 01:55:48,102
couple that really struck me.

3288
01:55:48,102 --> 01:55:51,702
First, I would like to share

3289
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:53,708
that because continues to

3290
01:55:53,708 --> 01:55:54,342
surprise me that people don't

3291
01:55:54,342 --> 01:55:56,742
realize that the cannabis

3292
01:55:58,346 --> 01:55:58,947
people are using these days are

3293
01:55:58,947 --> 01:55:59,413
not the plant with low

3294
01:55:59,413 --> 01:56:00,148
concentrations.

3295
01:56:00,148 --> 01:56:03,148
They are highly engineered and

3296
01:56:05,530 --> 01:56:05,387
engineered to increase their

3297
01:56:05,387 --> 01:56:06,210
potency.

3298
01:56:06,210 --> 01:56:06,721
And this of course is what

3299
01:56:06,721 --> 01:56:09,121
leads to addiction and

3300
01:56:10,959 --> 01:56:11,426
dependance and adverse mental

3301
01:56:11,426 --> 01:56:12,590
health episodes.

3302
01:56:12,590 --> 01:56:14,459
Number two the structural

3303
01:56:16,698 --> 01:56:17,298
change to the adolescent brain

3304
01:56:17,298 --> 01:56:17,999
due to their exposure to

3305
01:56:17,999 --> 01:56:20,399
marijuana use is significant.

3306
01:56:23,338 --> 01:56:23,972
They call it in this article

3307
01:56:23,972 --> 01:56:24,672
brain inflammation and it

3308
01:56:24,672 --> 01:56:27,720
changes the structural wiring

3309
01:56:29,770 --> 01:56:29,444
of the White matter in

3310
01:56:29,444 --> 01:56:30,112
the brain.

3311
01:56:30,112 --> 01:56:33,712
One can only think for about

3312
01:56:35,517 --> 01:56:36,151
10s and you know what that

3313
01:56:36,151 --> 01:56:36,852
means for a population of

3314
01:56:36,852 --> 01:56:37,586
children a whole demographic.

3315
01:56:37,586 --> 01:56:41,890
And three the concern they have

3316
01:56:41,890 --> 01:56:41,789
regarding working memory

3317
01:56:41,789 --> 01:56:44,789
impairment and I've spoken to

3318
01:56:47,262 --> 01:56:47,762
that concern as it applies to

3319
01:56:47,762 --> 01:56:48,430
impaired driving.

3320
01:56:48,430 --> 01:56:49,131
The fourth and the one that

3321
01:56:49,131 --> 01:56:53,134
brings me here is the role of

3322
01:56:53,134 --> 01:56:53,835
marijuana use in triggering

3323
01:56:53,835 --> 01:56:54,369
the mental health problems of

3324
01:56:54,369 --> 01:56:55,300
paranoia and panic.

3325
01:56:55,300 --> 01:56:58,300
If you've ever dealt with

3326
01:56:59,440 --> 01:56:59,675
someone having a bad experience

3327
01:56:59,675 --> 01:57:00,108
with paranoia you know how

3328
01:57:00,108 --> 01:57:02,108
painful it is.

3329
01:57:04,579 --> 01:57:05,247
Thank you.

3330
01:57:05,247 --> 01:57:05,681
Thank you, Becky Rapp.

3331
01:57:05,681 --> 01:57:07,681
Please begin.

3332
01:57:11,180 --> 01:57:11,787
Good afternoon.

3333
01:57:11,787 --> 01:57:12,487
My name is Becky Robin.

3334
01:57:12,487 --> 01:57:13,188
I'd like to thank the Public

3335
01:57:13,188 --> 01:57:15,588
Safety Committee for bringing

3336
01:57:16,825 --> 01:57:17,525
forward the transition Support

3337
01:57:17,525 --> 01:57:18,227
Team pilot program helping to

3338
01:57:18,227 --> 01:57:20,227
connect vulnerable individuals

3339
01:57:23,970 --> 01:57:23,832
with behavioral health services

3340
01:57:23,832 --> 01:57:24,499
,housing resources and other

3341
01:57:24,499 --> 01:57:24,833
supportive programs as it is

3342
01:57:24,833 --> 01:57:26,833
crucial.

3343
01:57:30,138 --> 01:57:30,805
However, I'm concerned that in

3344
01:57:30,805 --> 01:57:31,473
the report marijuana and its

3345
01:57:31,473 --> 01:57:32,107
potential behavioral health

3346
01:57:32,107 --> 01:57:34,507
impacts were not included.

3347
01:57:35,777 --> 01:57:36,412
If the goal of the transition

3348
01:57:36,412 --> 01:57:37,112
support team is to improve

3349
01:57:37,112 --> 01:57:39,512
behavioral health outcomes and

3350
01:57:41,483 --> 01:57:42,284
prevent people from falling

3351
01:57:42,284 --> 01:57:42,885
deeper into crisis then we must

3352
01:57:42,885 --> 01:57:43,585
recognize the connection

3353
01:57:43,585 --> 01:57:45,985
between high potency marijuana

3354
01:57:47,723 --> 01:57:48,157
products and mental health

3355
01:57:48,157 --> 01:57:48,757
consequences.

3356
01:57:48,757 --> 01:57:51,157
The most recent publicly

3357
01:57:53,362 --> 01:57:54,290
reported San Diego County

3358
01:57:54,290 --> 01:57:56,429
toxicology report found that

3359
01:57:57,833 --> 01:57:58,499
thc was present in 43% of

3360
01:57:58,499 --> 01:58:00,499
completed suicides involving

3361
01:58:03,239 --> 01:58:04,172
individuals age 25 and younger.

3362
01:58:04,172 --> 01:58:07,476
Let that sink in for a minute.

3363
01:58:07,476 --> 01:58:08,210
43%.

3364
01:58:08,210 --> 01:58:08,877
We have to start recognizing

3365
01:58:08,877 --> 01:58:11,877
the role marijuana plays in

3366
01:58:13,816 --> 01:58:14,350
mental health outcomes.

3367
01:58:14,350 --> 01:58:15,500
I'm also encouraging

3368
01:58:15,500 --> 01:58:18,500
the council to request updated

3369
01:58:19,654 --> 01:58:20,322
information from the medical

3370
01:58:20,322 --> 01:58:20,990
examiner, behavioral health

3371
01:58:20,990 --> 01:58:21,557
services and other agencies

3372
01:58:21,557 --> 01:58:21,924
regarding thc positive

3373
01:58:21,924 --> 01:58:23,924
suicides.

3374
01:58:26,610 --> 01:58:26,628
Marijuana related psychiatric

3375
01:58:26,628 --> 01:58:27,331
admissions, emergency

3376
01:58:27,331 --> 01:58:29,731
department visits and impaired

3377
01:58:32,334 --> 01:58:33,200
driving incidents.

3378
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:35,402
As this pilot program

3379
01:58:38,474 --> 01:58:39,107
progresses, council must ensure

3380
01:58:39,107 --> 01:58:39,842
that marijuana prevention,

3381
01:58:39,842 --> 01:58:42,242
education and behavioral health

3382
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:44,914
reporting are integrated into

3383
01:58:44,914 --> 01:58:45,580
this program.

3384
01:58:45,580 --> 01:58:46,282
If the mission of the trans

3385
01:58:46,282 --> 01:58:49,282
transition support team is to

3386
01:58:50,586 --> 01:58:51,219
help people avoid crisis and

3387
01:58:51,219 --> 01:58:51,887
achieve stability then we

3388
01:58:51,887 --> 01:58:52,521
should be willing to address

3389
01:58:52,521 --> 01:58:55,521
all substances that MAY be

3390
01:58:56,692 --> 01:58:57,920
contributing to those

3391
01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:57,526
challenges.

3392
01:58:57,526 --> 01:58:57,894
>> Thank you.

3393
01:58:57,894 --> 01:58:59,894
Thank you.

3394
01:59:00,895 --> 01:59:03,895
Our final speaker is Madison.

3395
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:07,303
Again.

3396
01:59:07,303 --> 01:59:08,370
Hi.

3397
01:59:08,370 --> 01:59:08,771
Thank you and good afternoon.

3398
01:59:08,771 --> 01:59:12,371
My concern is about the growing

3399
01:59:13,409 --> 01:59:14,176
normalization of marijuana use

3400
01:59:14,176 --> 01:59:14,844
and what science tells us about

3401
01:59:14,844 --> 01:59:15,577
its impact on young people.

3402
01:59:15,577 --> 01:59:19,810
Lynn Silver is a San Diego

3403
01:59:19,810 --> 01:59:19,682
based public health physician

3404
01:59:19,682 --> 01:59:20,416
and advocate focused on

3405
01:59:20,416 --> 01:59:22,816
protecting youth health through

3406
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:25,354
evidence based policy

3407
01:59:25,354 --> 01:59:26,210
prevention and education.

3408
01:59:26,210 --> 01:59:29,210
Her work centers on reducing

3409
01:59:30,693 --> 01:59:31,227
the harms of substance use and

3410
01:59:31,227 --> 01:59:31,861
supporting healthier

3411
01:59:31,861 --> 01:59:34,261
communities and she shared

3412
01:59:36,999 --> 01:59:37,767
the recent research that shows

3413
01:59:37,767 --> 01:59:38,468
that when it comes to cannabis,

3414
01:59:38,468 --> 01:59:38,968
three factors matter most how

3415
01:59:38,968 --> 01:59:41,368
often it is used.

3416
01:59:43,106 --> 01:59:43,706
How young someone is when they

3417
01:59:43,706 --> 01:59:44,400
start and the potency of

3418
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:46,400
the thc.

3419
01:59:49,445 --> 01:59:50,112
Unfortunately today's marijuana

3420
01:59:50,112 --> 01:59:50,779
products are far more potent

3421
01:59:50,779 --> 01:59:51,447
than those used in previous

3422
01:59:51,447 --> 01:59:53,847
generations and young people

3423
01:59:55,284 --> 01:59:55,685
are particularly vulnerable to

3424
01:59:55,685 --> 01:59:56,387
the effects.

3425
01:59:56,387 --> 01:59:59,387
Studies have found that heavy

3426
02:00:00,556 --> 02:00:01,256
cannabis use is associated with

3427
02:00:01,256 --> 02:00:01,958
changes in brain connectivity,

3428
02:00:01,958 --> 02:00:04,958
reduced working memory and an

3429
02:00:06,963 --> 02:00:07,597
increased risk of psychosis

3430
02:00:07,597 --> 02:00:08,298
like symptoms perhaps most

3431
02:00:08,298 --> 02:00:08,965
concerning adolescents who use

3432
02:00:08,965 --> 02:00:11,365
cannabis within the previous

3433
02:00:13,169 --> 02:00:13,770
year were found to have double

3434
02:00:13,770 --> 02:00:16,770
the risk of developing a

3435
02:00:16,906 --> 02:00:17,373
psychotic or bipolar disorder

3436
02:00:17,373 --> 02:00:18,107
by age 26.

3437
02:00:18,107 --> 02:00:21,107
We're also seeing other serious

3438
02:00:23,613 --> 02:00:24,213
consequences like cases of

3439
02:00:24,213 --> 02:00:24,847
cannabinoid hyperemesis

3440
02:00:24,847 --> 02:00:25,481
syndrome, a condition that

3441
02:00:25,481 --> 02:00:25,849
causes severe and repeated

3442
02:00:25,849 --> 02:00:27,849
vomiting.

3443
02:00:30,860 --> 02:00:30,687
Have quadrupled among young

3444
02:00:30,687 --> 02:00:31,420
people in recent years.

3445
02:00:31,420 --> 02:00:33,820
Researchers have concluded that

3446
02:00:35,457 --> 02:00:36,125
cannabis does not support it as

3447
02:00:36,125 --> 02:00:36,626
a treatment for many mental

3448
02:00:36,626 --> 02:00:37,293
health conditions.

3449
02:00:37,293 --> 02:00:40,293
Despite claims often made by

3450
02:00:42,310 --> 02:00:42,665
the industry, the takeaway from

3451
02:00:42,665 --> 02:00:43,366
all this research is clear

3452
02:00:43,366 --> 02:00:46,966
there is no safe limit for

3453
02:00:47,236 --> 02:00:47,871
youth cannabis use.

3454
02:00:47,871 --> 02:00:48,538
The developing brain is

3455
02:00:48,538 --> 02:00:49,172
uniquely susceptible to harm

3456
02:00:49,172 --> 02:00:51,572
and early exposure carries

3457
02:00:53,643 --> 02:00:54,176
measurable risks that can last

3458
02:00:54,176 --> 02:00:54,777
well into adulthood.

3459
02:00:54,777 --> 02:00:55,411
As policymakers you have

3460
02:00:55,411 --> 02:00:57,811
the responsibility to put

3461
02:00:59,382 --> 02:00:59,916
the health and well-being of

3462
02:00:59,916 --> 02:01:00,483
young people first.

3463
02:01:00,483 --> 02:01:01,216
I urge you to continue

3464
02:01:01,216 --> 02:01:03,616
supporting policies that reduce

3465
02:01:06,356 --> 02:01:07,230
youth exposure, limit

3466
02:01:07,230 --> 02:01:07,657
normalization and prioritize

3467
02:01:07,657 --> 02:01:08,910
prevention and education.

3468
02:01:08,910 --> 02:01:10,910
>> Thank you.

3469
02:01:11,661 --> 02:01:12,494
Thank you.

3470
02:01:12,494 --> 02:01:13,290
>> This concludes knowledge and

3471
02:01:13,290 --> 02:01:13,396
the public comment.

3472
02:01:13,396 --> 02:01:14,300
All right.

3473
02:01:14,300 --> 02:01:14,331
Thank you Deputy Clerk for

3474
02:01:14,331 --> 02:01:16,331
that.

3475
02:01:18,268 --> 02:01:18,901
I haven't gotten confirmation

3476
02:01:18,901 --> 02:01:19,269
that the chambers will be

3477
02:01:19,269 --> 02:01:19,969
suitable.

3478
02:01:19,969 --> 02:01:23,540
I'm getting ahead Not that it

3479
02:01:23,540 --> 02:01:24,307
probably won't be.

3480
02:01:24,307 --> 02:01:24,908
So when you come back to

3481
02:01:24,908 --> 02:01:27,908
the 12th floor, check if

3482
02:01:29,246 --> 02:01:29,946
Chambers ready will go in there

3483
02:01:29,946 --> 02:01:30,480
And if not we will resume

3484
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:31,140
the meeting here in

3485
02:01:31,140 --> 02:01:33,140
the committee room.

3486
02:01:35,285 --> 02:01:35,986
So we will now adjourn for

3487
02:01:35,986 --> 02:01:36,653
the noon recess and reconvene

3488
02:01:36,653 --> 02:01:39,222
in open session at 2 P.M. Or

3489
02:01:39,222 --> 02:01:40,900
shortly thereafter.

3490
02:01:40,900 --> 02:01:43,900
Thank you everyone for their

3491
02:29:15,681 --> 02:29:16,181
All right.

3492
02:29:16,181 --> 02:29:16,849
>> Good afternoon.

3493
02:29:16,849 --> 02:29:19,849
We're going to get started.

3494

3521
02:30:04,362 --> 02:30:04,997
While the technical issues in

3522
02:30:04,997 --> 02:30:05,664
council chambers look like

3523
02:30:05,664 --> 02:30:08,664
they're very, very close to

3524
02:30:10,436 --> 02:30:11,203
being resolved, we decided to

3525
02:30:11,203 --> 02:30:11,704
take this or I decided to take

3526
02:30:11,704 --> 02:30:12,271
the safer course.

3527
02:30:12,271 --> 02:30:14,671
>> We know this works.

3528
02:30:15,841 --> 02:30:16,608

02:30:28,521 --> 02:30:30,921
with this morning's business.

3536
02:30:34,160 --> 02:30:34,826
With that we also have a change

3537
02:30:34,826 --> 02:30:37,826
of order for this afternoon.

3538
02:30:38,330 --> 02:30:38,930
We will start with item 333.

3539
02:30:38,930 --> 02:30:41,930
We will hear the staff

3540
02:30:44,769 --> 02:30:45,638
presentation and public comment

3541
02:30:45,638 --> 02:30:46,272
for that item and we will trail

3542
02:30:46,272 --> 02:30:48,672
item 333 after the public

3543
02:30:50,376 --> 02:30:51,143
hearing is concluded.

3544
02:30:51,143 --> 02:30:52,100
We will then hear item 330.

3545
02:30:52,100 --> 02:30:55,610
After that is concluded we will

3546
02:30:57,150 --> 02:30:57,717
come back for item 333 to hear

3547
02:30:57,717 --> 02:30:58,451
the tabulation of any protests

3548
02:30:58,451 --> 02:31:01,451
and proceed with council member

3549
02:31:02,388 --> 02:31:03,550
comments.

3550
02:31:03,550 --> 02:31:03,389
Questions and entertain a

3551
02:31:03,389 --> 02:31:05,389
motion.

3552
02:31:08,461 --> 02:31:11,461
With that Deputy Clerk please

>> All right.

3561
02:31:25,111 --> 02:31:25,744
We will now open the notice to

3562
02:31:25,744 --> 02:31:26,412
public hearing to consider

3563
02:31:26,412 --> 02:31:27,112

report identifying the parcels

3565
02:31:30,583 --> 02:31:31,284

the general taxes.

The public hearing will

3593
02:32:18,798 --> 02:32:19,299
conclude at the end of all

3594
02:32:19,299 --> 02:32:19,999
public testimony.

property owners without staff.

3601
02:32:31,644 --> 02:32:32,345
Please introduce yourselves for

3602
02:32:32,345 --> 02:32:33,460
the record and let us know how

3603
02:32:33,460 --> 02:32:36,646
much time you need for your

3604
02:32:36,749 --> 02:32:37,483
presentation.

3605
02:32:37,483 --> 02:32:38,151
Good afternoon Council members.

3606
02:32:38,151 --> 02:32:38,718
My name is Jeremy Bauer and

3607
02:32:38,718 --> 02:32:39,285
Assistant Director of

3608
02:32:39,285 --> 02:32:41,285
Environmental Services

3609
02:32:43,256 --> 02:32:43,923
Department and joined today

3610
02:32:43,923 --> 02:32:44,324
with us with Deputy Director

3611
02:32:44,324 --> 02:32:45,125
Sarah Sims.

3612
02:32:45,125 --> 02:32:48,125
We request ten minutes please.

3613
02:32:51,564 --> 02:32:52,332
When you're ready.

3614
02:32:52,332 --> 02:32:53,330
So today's action we'll talk

3615
02:32:53,330 --> 02:32:53,700
quickly about the background.

3616
02:32:53,700 --> 02:32:56,100
Following the description of

3617
02:32:58,370 --> 02:32:59,720
the proposed action, talk about

3618
02:32:59,720 --> 02:32:59,806
today's meeting, the proposed

3619
02:32:59,806 --> 02:33:03,406
hearing and how it was noticed.

3620
02:33:03,409 --> 02:33:04,110
We'll discuss how the fees were

3621
02:33:04,110 --> 02:33:04,744
calculated for those that are

3622
02:33:04,744 --> 02:33:05,411
in the report that will be

3623
02:33:05,411 --> 02:33:07,811
presented and considered by

3624
02:33:09,515 --> 02:33:10,283
city council.

3625
02:33:10,283 --> 02:33:10,951
Will remind the departments

3626
02:33:10,951 --> 02:33:13,951
benefits of tax for billing

3627
02:33:14,954 --> 02:33:15,755
that we had identified last

3628
02:33:15,755 --> 02:33:19,355
year and continue to hold today

3629
02:33:21,270 --> 02:33:21,341
And then timeline of next steps

3630
02:33:21,341 --> 02:33:22,280
.

3631
02:33:22,280 --> 02:33:22,728
So on the proposed action I

3632
02:33:22,728 --> 02:33:23,463
just for the record I want to

3633
02:33:23,463 --> 02:33:26,463
note that yesterday we did

3634
02:33:27,660 --> 02:33:27,633
update the description of

3635
02:33:27,633 --> 02:33:28,135
the proposed action in

3636
02:33:28,135 --> 02:33:28,802
the staff report.

3637
02:33:28,802 --> 02:33:31,802
It had referenced the fiscal

3638
02:33:32,305 --> 02:33:33,600
year as fiscal year 27 dash

3639
02:33:33,600 --> 02:33:35,600
2006 2006 dash 2007 and just

3640
02:33:37,711 --> 02:33:38,378
didn't conform with how

3641
02:33:38,378 --> 02:33:38,778
the city typically refers to

3642
02:33:38,778 --> 02:33:39,512
fiscal year.

3643
02:33:39,512 --> 02:33:43,112
We corrected it to match what's

3644
02:33:43,917 --> 02:33:44,784
on the screen fiscal year 2047.

3645
02:33:44,784 --> 02:33:48,384
So the item today as council

3646
02:33:50,357 --> 02:33:51,910
PRESIDENT Explained is for

3647
02:33:51,910 --> 02:33:51,791
Council to consider a report of

3648
02:33:51,791 --> 02:33:52,492
a list of the properties that

3649
02:33:52,492 --> 02:33:54,892
receive solid waste management

3650
02:33:55,896 --> 02:33:56,597
services from the city of San

3651
02:33:56,597 --> 02:33:57,364
Diego and the amount of fee to

3652
02:33:57,364 --> 02:33:58,331
be charged for the solid waste

3653
02:33:58,331 --> 02:34:01,331
management fee for fiscal year

3654
02:34:04,804 --> 02:34:05,472
2027 as background.

3655
02:34:05,472 --> 02:34:06,106
Last JUNE after the fee was

3656
02:34:06,106 --> 02:34:08,506
adopted by City Council

3657
02:34:10,911 --> 02:34:11,578
emergency Services Department

3658
02:34:11,578 --> 02:34:12,178
returned to City Council to

3659
02:34:12,178 --> 02:34:12,880
receive authorization to

3660
02:34:12,880 --> 02:34:16,480
collect that fee on the county

3661
02:34:16,683 --> 02:34:17,351
tax roll.

3662
02:34:17,351 --> 02:34:18,840
The city then submitted a

3663
02:34:18,840 --> 02:34:22,189
report to county of the list of

3664
02:34:22,189 --> 02:34:22,522
properties and the amount of

3665
02:34:22,522 --> 02:34:23,257
the fee.

3666
02:34:23,257 --> 02:34:23,924
And then as the county collects

3667
02:34:23,924 --> 02:34:27,524
the fee it remits revenue to

3668
02:34:28,295 --> 02:34:28,862
the city each month as it

3669
02:34:28,862 --> 02:34:29,529
revenues receive from

3670
02:34:29,529 --> 02:34:32,529
the county from customers to

3671
02:34:34,200 --> 02:34:35,200
the county typically comes into

3672
02:34:35,200 --> 02:34:35,702
a bulk areas of revenue around

3673
02:34:35,702 --> 02:34:36,203
NOVEMBER, DECEMBER and between

3674
02:34:36,203 --> 02:34:38,203
FEBRUARY and APRIL

3675
02:34:41,740 --> 02:34:41,808
corresponding when the majority

3676
02:34:41,808 --> 02:34:42,109
of customers pay their property

3677
02:34:42,109 --> 02:34:44,109
taxes.

3678
02:34:46,814 --> 02:34:47,548
So today's action is to request

3679
02:34:47,548 --> 02:34:48,247
Council to adopt the report for

3680
02:34:48,247 --> 02:34:51,247
fiscal year 27 And as Council

3681
02:34:51,318 --> 02:34:52,186
PRESIDENT Noted, this requires

3682
02:34:52,186 --> 02:34:52,652
a two thirds majority to pass a

3683
02:34:52,652 --> 02:34:54,652
public hearing.

3684
02:34:58,425 --> 02:34:59,920
Notice was published on JUNE

3685
02:34:59,920 --> 02:34:59,392
8th and filed with the city

3686
02:34:59,392 --> 02:35:00,127
clerk.

3687
02:35:00,127 --> 02:35:03,127
The city Clerk website includes

3688
02:35:04,264 --> 02:35:04,931
the report of the properties.

3689
02:35:04,931 --> 02:35:05,665
We also turn on the daily

3690
02:35:05,665 --> 02:35:06,233
transcript We advertised notice

3691
02:35:06,233 --> 02:35:08,633
of today's meeting and

3692
02:35:11,205 --> 02:35:12,600
availability of the report as

3693
02:35:12,600 --> 02:35:12,706
well as how to protest and how

3694
02:35:12,706 --> 02:35:16,760
to be present for this meeting

3695
02:35:16,760 --> 02:35:16,710
and then the report if adopted

3696
02:35:16,710 --> 02:35:17,278
by City Council today.

3697
02:35:17,278 --> 02:35:17,978
Environmental Services

3698
02:35:17,978 --> 02:35:20,978
Department by AUGUST 10th will

3699
02:35:21,448 --> 02:35:22,820
submit that report to

3700
02:35:22,820 --> 02:35:22,817
the county which will then

3701
02:35:22,817 --> 02:35:26,417
allow us to collect the revenue

3702
02:35:28,220 --> 02:35:28,789
in the coming year.

3703
02:35:28,789 --> 02:35:29,590
This slide just shows a an

3704
02:35:29,590 --> 02:35:32,590
image of notice that was

3705
02:35:33,461 --> 02:35:34,280
published with the daily

3706
02:35:34,280 --> 02:35:34,762
transcript including a

3707
02:35:34,762 --> 02:35:35,328
description of today's hearing.

3708
02:35:35,328 --> 02:35:37,728
The time and location

3709
02:35:38,899 --> 02:35:39,566
the health and Safety code

3710
02:35:39,566 --> 02:35:40,301
citation contact information

3711
02:35:40,301 --> 02:35:43,901
and information on how the city

3712
02:35:44,805 --> 02:35:45,673
considers protests.

3713
02:35:45,673 --> 02:35:48,673
This slide shows the headings

3714
02:35:50,845 --> 02:35:51,545
of the report.

3715
02:35:51,545 --> 02:35:52,179
So the first column is

3716
02:35:52,179 --> 02:35:55,179
the individual id for each

3717
02:35:56,784 --> 02:35:57,118
property the assessor's parcel

3718
02:35:57,118 --> 02:35:57,652
number.

3719
02:35:57,652 --> 02:35:58,286
The second column is

3720
02:35:58,286 --> 02:35:58,652
the baseline fee for each

3721
02:35:58,652 --> 02:36:00,652
property.

3722
02:36:03,157 --> 02:36:03,858
So corresponding to the service

3723
02:36:03,858 --> 02:36:04,659
level that that property has.

3724
02:36:04,659 --> 02:36:08,259
So for example if a property

3725
02:36:08,896 --> 02:36:11,296
has the 35 gallon trash

3726
02:36:13,634 --> 02:36:14,235
container package it would show

3727
02:36:14,235 --> 02:36:14,869
$403.92 corresponding to

3728
02:36:14,869 --> 02:36:15,336
the baseline rate for that

3729
02:36:15,336 --> 02:36:17,336
service package.

3730
02:36:20,341 --> 02:36:21,800
The next four columns show

3731
02:36:21,800 --> 02:36:21,709
potential credits that that

3732
02:36:21,709 --> 02:36:22,343
property might have earned in

3733
02:36:22,343 --> 02:36:24,743
this current fiscal year.

3734
02:36:25,947 --> 02:36:26,747
So for example, if a property

3735
02:36:26,747 --> 02:36:29,147
ordered a 35 gallon package

3736
02:36:32,190 --> 02:36:32,687
the smallest container this

3737
02:36:32,687 --> 02:36:33,321
year in right now and they

3738
02:36:33,321 --> 02:36:35,721
received that in JANUARY.

3739
02:36:37,158 --> 02:36:39,558
The 35 gallon package is $10.78

3740
02:36:41,496 --> 02:36:42,263
less than the 95 gallon.

3741
02:36:42,263 --> 02:36:42,697
So the math would be six months

3742
02:36:42,697 --> 02:36:44,697
times $10.78.

3743
02:36:47,101 --> 02:36:49,501
So that would show-$64.68.

3744
02:36:53,207 --> 02:36:53,875
So demonstrating a credit of

3745
02:36:53,875 --> 02:36:54,208
$64.68 for the difference in

3746
02:36:54,208 --> 02:36:54,842
the fee.

3747
02:36:54,842 --> 02:36:57,242
Similarly, the next column

3748
02:36:59,280 --> 02:36:59,647
shows financial assistance

3749
02:36:59,647 --> 02:37:00,348
received.

3750
02:37:00,348 --> 02:37:01,150
So if a property was eligible

3751
02:37:01,150 --> 02:37:03,415
for financial assistance in

3752
02:37:04,852 --> 02:37:05,553
this case it might show

3753
02:37:05,553 --> 02:37:07,553
-$201.96 corresponding to that

3754
02:37:10,391 --> 02:37:11,159
credit for assistance.

3755
02:37:11,159 --> 02:37:11,892
The next item just says other

3756
02:37:11,892 --> 02:37:12,493
adjustments That's a catch all.

3757
02:37:12,493 --> 02:37:15,493
We don't have any other

3758
02:37:16,530 --> 02:37:17,232
adjustments but we included

3759
02:37:17,232 --> 02:37:17,899
that in case there were other

3760
02:37:17,899 --> 02:37:18,566
adjustments to account for.

3761
02:37:18,566 --> 02:37:19,200
And then the next column is

3762
02:37:19,200 --> 02:37:22,200
total of all the credits.

3763
02:37:22,604 --> 02:37:26,804
So in this case for example I

3764
02:37:27,442 --> 02:37:28,420
just described it would be

3765
02:37:28,420 --> 02:37:30,420
$64.68 plus 201 96.

3766
02:37:31,612 --> 02:37:32,547
So a total credit of $266.64.

3767
02:37:32,547 --> 02:37:35,547
The next several columns show

3768
02:37:37,651 --> 02:37:38,520
debits or additional charges.

3769
02:37:38,520 --> 02:37:42,120
So if for example a customer

3770
02:37:43,224 --> 02:37:43,891
received a second trash

3771
02:37:43,891 --> 02:37:46,891
container in JANUARY in this

3772
02:37:47,695 --> 02:37:48,328
fiscal year a second trash

3773
02:37:48,328 --> 02:37:48,630
container costs $17.78 per

3774
02:37:48,630 --> 02:37:49,230
month.

3775
02:37:49,230 --> 02:37:52,230
If they received that in

3776
02:37:53,133 --> 02:37:53,568
JANUARY the math would be six

3777
02:37:53,568 --> 02:37:55,568
times 1778.

3778
02:37:57,605 --> 02:37:58,106
So this customer would show a

3779
02:37:58,106 --> 02:37:58,973
debit of $106.68.

3780
02:37:58,973 --> 02:38:02,573
Assume as well for example that

3781
02:38:04,712 --> 02:38:05,347
this customer pledged to donate

3782
02:38:05,347 --> 02:38:05,880
$100 toward the financial

3783
02:38:05,880 --> 02:38:06,548
assistance program.

3784
02:38:06,548 --> 02:38:10,148
In that case, the column for

3785
02:38:10,385 --> 02:38:10,886
financial assistance donation

3786
02:38:10,886 --> 02:38:11,619
would show $100.

3787
02:38:11,619 --> 02:38:12,320
So in this example if you

3788
02:38:12,320 --> 02:38:15,320
summarize to the total would

3789
02:38:16,591 --> 02:38:17,292
show $206.68.

3790
02:38:17,292 --> 02:38:17,692
The final column on the right

3791
02:38:17,692 --> 02:38:19,692
is the net.

3792
02:38:22,264 --> 02:38:22,864
So we would show whatever

3793
02:38:22,864 --> 02:38:23,564
the baseline fee was for

3794
02:38:23,564 --> 02:38:26,564
the customer minus any credits

3795
02:38:27,968 --> 02:38:28,303
plus any additional charges or

3796
02:38:28,303 --> 02:38:29,700
debits.

3797
02:38:29,700 --> 02:38:33,270
And that would be the amount to

3798
02:38:34,142 --> 02:38:34,910
be charged to the customer.

3799
02:38:34,910 --> 02:38:35,577
Just want to note that although

3800
02:38:35,577 --> 02:38:36,210
this MAY sound complicated,

3801
02:38:36,210 --> 02:38:39,210
the portal was designed to

3802
02:38:40,282 --> 02:38:40,882
track the delivery dates of

3803
02:38:40,882 --> 02:38:41,550
containers and to export

3804
02:38:41,550 --> 02:38:45,150
the report in an easy manner

3805
02:38:45,721 --> 02:38:46,588
for stuff.

3806
02:38:46,588 --> 02:38:50,188
This slide shows in text form

3807
02:38:51,960 --> 02:38:52,627
what I just described on how

3808
02:38:52,627 --> 02:38:53,280
the fees were calculated in

3809
02:38:53,280 --> 02:38:55,280
the report.

3810
02:38:57,165 --> 02:38:57,966
I'll also note that customers

3811
02:38:57,966 --> 02:38:58,633
can view the fee breakdown on

3812
02:38:58,633 --> 02:39:01,633
their portal account if they

3813
02:39:03,738 --> 02:39:04,372
have a portal account at which

3814
02:39:04,372 --> 02:39:05,400
portal that San diego.Gov.

3815
02:39:05,400 --> 02:39:05,841
If they don't have a portal

3816
02:39:05,841 --> 02:39:09,441
account they can call our call

3817
02:39:09,912 --> 02:39:10,646
center.

3818
02:39:10,646 --> 02:39:11,460
The number listed on the slide

3819
02:39:11,460 --> 02:39:13,460
858694 7000.

3820
02:39:15,784 --> 02:39:16,485
And our call center staff have

3821
02:39:16,485 --> 02:39:17,152
access to the background data

3822
02:39:17,152 --> 02:39:17,852
and could describe the math

3823
02:39:17,852 --> 02:39:20,989
that goes into the charts for

3824
02:39:20,989 --> 02:39:21,757
each property.

3825
02:39:21,757 --> 02:39:24,157
This slide just recaps

3826
02:39:27,862 --> 02:39:28,530
the rationale why staff

3827
02:39:28,530 --> 02:39:28,897
proposed checks were billing

3828
02:39:28,897 --> 02:39:29,598
initially.

3829
02:39:29,598 --> 02:39:32,598
We had estimated that standing

3830
02:39:33,702 --> 02:39:34,436
up any billing department would

3831
02:39:34,436 --> 02:39:35,137
cost a significant sum of money

3832
02:39:35,137 --> 02:39:35,804
and the costs of that program

3833
02:39:35,804 --> 02:39:38,204
would have been incorporated

3834
02:39:39,241 --> 02:39:39,675
into the overall fee that went

3835
02:39:39,675 --> 02:39:40,342
to customers.

3836
02:39:40,342 --> 02:39:43,342
By taking another path that

3837
02:39:45,413 --> 02:39:45,780
savings has been passed on to

3838
02:39:45,780 --> 02:39:46,414
customers.

3839
02:39:46,414 --> 02:39:49,414
Its actual billing is also

3840
02:39:51,487 --> 02:39:52,540
convenient for customers.

3841
02:39:52,540 --> 02:39:52,788
They're already paying

3842
02:39:52,788 --> 02:39:53,522
the property tax bill anyway so

3843
02:39:53,522 --> 02:39:56,658
this is one less bill to track.

3844
02:39:56,658 --> 02:39:57,426
It's easier for the city We

3845
02:39:57,426 --> 02:39:57,926
have no need to track tenants

3846
02:39:57,926 --> 02:39:58,594
coming and going.

3847
02:39:58,594 --> 02:39:58,893
The customer is the property

3848
02:39:58,893 --> 02:40:00,893
owner.

3849
02:40:02,798 --> 02:40:03,198
There is a strong payment

3850
02:40:03,198 --> 02:40:05,198
compliance.

3851
02:40:07,436 --> 02:40:08,700
As of last week 98.48% of

3852
02:40:08,700 --> 02:40:08,570
customers have paid their

3853
02:40:08,570 --> 02:40:09,238
property tax bill.

3854
02:40:09,238 --> 02:40:12,838
We have a couple more weeks

3855
02:40:14,900 --> 02:40:14,743
left in the fiscal year.

3856
02:40:14,743 --> 02:40:17,743
Typically the city budget its

3857
02:40:18,848 --> 02:40:19,248
budgets with an assumption of

3858
02:40:19,248 --> 02:40:20,115
98.89 8.9.

3859
02:40:20,115 --> 02:40:20,816
So we'll be able to see in

3860
02:40:20,816 --> 02:40:21,483
the coming weeks whether this

3861
02:40:21,483 --> 02:40:24,720
year is on track with prior

3862
02:40:24,720 --> 02:40:25,354
years or if there's any

3863
02:40:25,354 --> 02:40:26,880
difference and the cost to

3864
02:40:26,880 --> 02:40:30,288
the city for the county to send

3865
02:40:31,193 --> 02:40:31,895
other bills, collect

3866
02:40:31,895 --> 02:40:35,364
the revenue and do any follow

3867
02:40:35,364 --> 02:40:36,980
up customers cost us around

3868
02:40:36,980 --> 02:40:39,980
$22,500 per year for the county

3869
02:40:41,137 --> 02:40:41,904
to take care of all of them.

3870
02:40:41,904 --> 02:40:42,538
And this last slide just shows

3871
02:40:42,538 --> 02:40:45,538
a summary of the timeline.

3872
02:40:48,770 --> 02:40:48,711
So on JUNE 8th as I noted, we

3873
02:40:48,711 --> 02:40:49,278
noticed the action today,

3874
02:40:49,278 --> 02:40:51,678
the report today being

3875
02:40:53,716 --> 02:40:54,416
available.

3876
02:40:54,416 --> 02:40:54,783
The hearing is taking place as

3877
02:40:54,783 --> 02:40:55,418
we speak.

3878
02:40:55,418 --> 02:40:59,180
And then by AUGUST 10th if

3879
02:40:59,288 --> 02:40:59,855
council adopts the fee we will

3880
02:40:59,855 --> 02:41:00,489
provide the report to

3881
02:41:00,489 --> 02:41:01,900
the county which will then

3882
02:41:01,900 --> 02:41:01,757
allow us to collect this

3883
02:41:01,757 --> 02:41:02,580
revenue in the coming fiscal

3884
02:41:02,580 --> 02:41:04,580
year.

3885
02:41:05,761 --> 02:41:06,429
And then in the fall customers

3886
02:41:06,429 --> 02:41:10,365
can expect to see the fee on

3887
02:41:10,365 --> 02:41:11,330
their property tax bills.

3888
02:41:11,330 --> 02:41:14,330
And that's all I have.

3889
02:41:16,205 --> 02:41:16,606
Thank you.

3890
02:41:16,606 --> 02:41:17,340
All right.

3891
02:41:17,340 --> 02:41:18,340
Thank you for the presentation.

3892
02:41:18,340 --> 02:41:22,540
So with that we will go to

3893
02:41:22,778 --> 02:41:23,646
public comment.

3894
02:41:23,646 --> 02:41:24,247
And as a friendly reminder to

3895
02:41:24,247 --> 02:41:27,247
issue a protest you must

3896
02:41:28,183 --> 02:41:28,887
actually be a customer of

3897
02:41:28,887 --> 02:41:29,385
the City of San Diego trash

3898
02:41:29,385 --> 02:41:31,385
collection system.

3899
02:41:34,624 --> 02:41:34,960
So please proceed with public

3900
02:41:34,960 --> 02:41:35,391
comment.

3901
02:41:35,391 --> 02:41:36,580

3937
02:42:41,191 --> 02:42:43,191

3938
02:42:44,228 --> 02:42:44,961

forward you'll have ten minutes

3940
02:43:01,911 --> 02:43:02,237
to speak.

3941
02:43:02,237 --> 02:43:04,237
Hi.

3942
02:43:07,951 --> 02:43:08,618
I wanted to be a voice for all

3943
02:43:08,618 --> 02:43:09,485
property owners in San Diego

3944
02:43:09,485 --> 02:43:13,850
who could not come to this

3945
02:43:14,240 --> 02:43:14,758
meeting to say that

3946
02:43:14,758 --> 02:43:18,358
the property taxes are too high

3947
02:43:20,263 --> 02:43:20,964
and that for there to be this

3948
02:43:20,964 --> 02:43:23,964
additional fee on the property

3949
02:43:25,602 --> 02:43:26,335
taxes.

3950
02:43:26,335 --> 02:43:29,935
I think a lot of property

3951
02:43:31,808 --> 02:43:32,242
owners obviously don't want

3952
02:43:32,242 --> 02:43:34,242
this fee.

3953
02:43:37,114 --> 02:43:37,947
I know many people I know that

3954
02:43:37,947 --> 02:43:41,547
might be the minority of people

3955
02:43:43,186 --> 02:43:43,853
because I do believe in fair

3956
02:43:43,853 --> 02:43:44,521
elections and I believe that

3957
02:43:44,521 --> 02:43:45,221
there's many liberals in San

3958
02:43:45,221 --> 02:43:48,221
Diego who believe that city

3959
02:43:49,859 --> 02:43:50,527
council knows how to spend

3960
02:43:50,527 --> 02:43:50,794
their money better than they

3961
02:43:50,794 --> 02:43:52,794
do.

3962
02:43:56,400 --> 02:43:57,167
So maybe they support the fee.

3963
02:43:57,167 --> 02:43:58,135
However, I do know that there

3964
02:43:58,135 --> 02:44:02,335
is a voice of resistance in San

3965
02:44:02,739 --> 02:44:03,273
Diego who thinks the property

3966
02:44:03,273 --> 02:44:04,107
taxes are too high.

3967
02:44:04,107 --> 02:44:08,178
I for 1 A.M. Homeless so I

3968
02:44:08,178 --> 02:44:08,845
don't have the property so it

3969
02:44:08,845 --> 02:44:09,812
doesn't really count for me.

3970
02:44:09,812 --> 02:44:14,450
And I also want to be a voice

3971
02:44:14,450 --> 02:44:15,185
for Catholics where I think

3972
02:44:15,185 --> 02:44:18,185
many Catholics would be against

3973
02:44:20,524 --> 02:44:21,124
an added property tax for to go

3974
02:44:21,124 --> 02:44:21,725
to the city of San Diego

3975
02:44:21,725 --> 02:44:24,125
because of the Catholic

3976
02:44:26,597 --> 02:44:27,364
genocide going on.

3977
02:44:27,364 --> 02:44:27,965
I think that until the city of

3978
02:44:27,965 --> 02:44:29,965
San Diego addresses

3979
02:44:32,135 --> 02:44:32,735
the underground hidden Catholic

3980
02:44:32,735 --> 02:44:33,470
genocide I believe many

3981
02:44:33,470 --> 02:44:36,470
Catholic property owners in San

3982
02:44:38,408 --> 02:44:42,800
Diego would be against an extra

3983
02:44:43,580 --> 02:44:44,448
an increase in property tax.

3984
02:44:44,448 --> 02:44:45,149
And the reason I think that is

3985
02:44:45,149 --> 02:44:48,149
because the genocides real on

3986
02:44:49,787 --> 02:44:50,453
Catholics are being killed.

3987
02:44:50,453 --> 02:44:52,853
They're being surrounded by

3988
02:44:55,626 --> 02:44:56,226
people speaking gibberish until

3989
02:44:56,226 --> 02:44:56,860
the point they're driven

3990
02:44:56,860 --> 02:44:59,260
completely insane and it's

3991
02:45:01,980 --> 02:45:01,699
become a serious problem And

3992
02:45:01,699 --> 02:45:02,466
needs to be addressed.

3993
02:45:02,466 --> 02:45:05,466
>> Thank you for your comments.

3994
02:45:12,209 --> 02:45:12,876
Allegedly under I guess I

3995
02:45:12,876 --> 02:45:15,876
wonder how many times we're

3996
02:45:17,715 --> 02:45:18,582
going to go down this path.

3997
02:45:18,582 --> 02:45:21,582
I mean what was Proposition 218

3998
02:45:22,987 --> 02:45:23,888
put in place for And we just

3999
02:45:23,888 --> 02:45:24,855
had a lawsuit for $1 million to

4000
02:45:24,855 --> 02:45:28,358
get you guys to change what is

4001
02:45:28,358 --> 02:45:29,126
happening.

4002
02:45:29,126 --> 02:45:29,827
And here we are again saying

4003
02:45:29,827 --> 02:45:32,827
that you want people property

4004
02:45:33,864 --> 02:45:36,864
owners to come and protest.

4005
02:45:37,902 --> 02:45:38,702
Are you going to honor Prop 218

4006
02:45:38,702 --> 02:45:39,403
or are we going to go down

4007
02:45:39,403 --> 02:45:42,403
the path again to potentially

4008
02:45:44,174 --> 02:45:44,842
engage in litigation and cause

4009
02:45:44,842 --> 02:45:45,476
the city really the people a

4010
02:45:45,476 --> 02:45:47,876
million more dollars or

4011
02:45:49,246 --> 02:45:49,980
potentially more than that

4012
02:45:49,980 --> 02:45:53,580
because you are not engaging in

4013
02:45:54,852 --> 02:45:55,552
this work properly the way that

4014
02:45:55,552 --> 02:45:59,152
you talk about you know, you

4015
02:46:00,257 --> 02:46:00,558
know, strong payment compliance

4016
02:46:00,558 --> 02:46:01,392
.

4017
02:46:01,392 --> 02:46:02,159
Well, I mean when you're set to

4018
02:46:02,159 --> 02:46:06,630
lose your house if you do not

4019
02:46:06,630 --> 02:46:06,630
pay this bill I mean of course

4020
02:46:06,630 --> 02:46:07,300
you're going to force

4021
02:46:07,300 --> 02:46:07,731
compliance.

4022
02:46:07,731 --> 02:46:11,331
But when you talk about making

4023
02:46:11,402 --> 02:46:12,370
it easier and cheaper and

4024
02:46:12,370 --> 02:46:16,570
convenient to put it on a tax

4025
02:46:16,573 --> 02:46:17,308
roll that is very negligent

4026
02:46:17,308 --> 02:46:18,900
because that's not true, you're

4027
02:46:18,900 --> 02:46:21,900
actually setting people up to

4028
02:46:21,679 --> 02:46:22,346
lose their property And when

4029
02:46:22,346 --> 02:46:25,346
nobody knows about you guys

4030
02:46:26,517 --> 02:46:27,418
it's like this room is filled

4031
02:46:27,418 --> 02:46:31,555
with your staff and a couple of

4032
02:46:31,555 --> 02:46:32,156
people who you know, care about

4033
02:46:32,156 --> 02:46:32,757
what's going on in

4034
02:46:32,757 --> 02:46:33,424
the community around us.

4035
02:46:33,424 --> 02:46:37,240
But when you have people who

4036
02:46:37,280 --> 02:46:37,662
are working right now trying to

4037
02:46:37,662 --> 02:46:38,396
make ends meet and you're

4038
02:46:38,396 --> 02:46:41,396
expecting them to come and

4039
02:46:46,203 --> 02:46:46,904
protest a new tax bill, just

4040
02:46:46,904 --> 02:46:47,571
kind of wondering like why we

4041
02:46:47,571 --> 02:46:50,571
continue to do these things

4042
02:46:51,275 --> 02:46:51,976
that that is insanity when you

4043
02:46:51,976 --> 02:46:52,643
continue to try and stick a

4044
02:46:52,643 --> 02:46:56,243
square peg into a round hole

4045
02:46:57,140 --> 02:46:57,682
and expect people to I mean,

4046
02:46:57,682 --> 02:46:58,348
yeah, most people don't pay

4047
02:46:58,348 --> 02:47:01,348
attention but you will have

4048
02:47:02,520 --> 02:47:02,853
people that will come against

4049
02:47:02,853 --> 02:47:03,554
you in litigation and it's not

4050
02:47:03,554 --> 02:47:07,592
fair to the people to make us

4051
02:47:07,592 --> 02:47:08,359
do that in order for you guys

4052
02:47:08,359 --> 02:47:08,626
to follow the law you expect us

4053
02:47:08,626 --> 02:47:09,427
to.

4054
02:47:09,427 --> 02:47:12,764
And so I think that you should

4055
02:47:12,764 --> 02:47:13,131
be held to the same standard.

4056
02:47:13,131 --> 02:47:13,898
Thank you.

4057
02:47:13,898 --> 02:47:16,298
That does conclude in-person

4058
02:47:18,536 --> 02:47:19,270
public comment.

4059
02:47:19,270 --> 02:47:22,270
I've started the five person

4060
02:47:22,707 --> 02:47:23,408
excuse me I've started the five

4061
02:47:23,408 --> 02:47:24,108
minute timer in the committee

4062
02:47:24,108 --> 02:47:27,579
room and will now turn to

4063
02:47:27,579 --> 02:47:28,279
the virtual queue which there

4064
02:47:28,279 --> 02:47:30,679
are currently two participants

4065
02:47:32,350 --> 02:47:34,350
requesting to speak.

4066
02:47:35,653 --> 02:47:38,530
Hector please begin your

4067
02:47:40,825 --> 02:47:41,226
comments.

4068
02:47:41,226 --> 02:47:41,892
All right.

4069
02:47:41,892 --> 02:47:42,327
Thanks for building trust in

4070
02:47:42,327 --> 02:47:44,327
the community.

4071
02:47:46,264 --> 02:47:46,965
This is not like the one two

4072
02:47:46,965 --> 02:47:47,665
kick or this thing was not

4073
02:47:47,665 --> 02:47:50,650
really documented Trust for

4074
02:47:50,969 --> 02:47:51,636
the community but the way you

4075
02:47:51,636 --> 02:47:52,300
collect the fees I disagree

4076
02:47:52,300 --> 02:47:54,300
with this.

4077
02:47:55,907 --> 02:47:56,507
I don't have a house.

4078
02:47:56,507 --> 02:47:57,374
I got a condo.

4079
02:47:57,374 --> 02:48:00,974
So we had trash pickup private

4080
02:48:02,380 --> 02:48:05,483
and then the let it is where

4081
02:48:05,483 --> 02:48:05,816
there's no one even there to

4082
02:48:05,816 --> 02:48:06,518
protest.

4083
02:48:06,518 --> 02:48:09,518
Yes, they probably don't even

4084
02:48:09,688 --> 02:48:10,488
know about it If you send them

4085
02:48:10,488 --> 02:48:14,880
a message I think you should

4086
02:48:14,526 --> 02:48:15,227
just trust trust the people to

4087
02:48:15,227 --> 02:48:15,928
send their money and every

4088
02:48:15,928 --> 02:48:19,496
month just trust the public to

4089
02:48:19,496 --> 02:48:20,198
send you a check every month

4090
02:48:20,198 --> 02:48:20,965
instead of taking out of your

4091
02:48:20,965 --> 02:48:23,965
property tax which is just

4092
02:48:25,336 --> 02:48:28,336
that's like that's not right

4093
02:48:28,907 --> 02:48:29,608
you know to do that And any way

4094
02:48:29,608 --> 02:48:30,374
who gets the spread so your

4095
02:48:30,374 --> 02:48:33,374
check clears your property tax

4096
02:48:34,780 --> 02:48:34,779
like a week ago and then

4097
02:48:34,779 --> 02:48:38,379
the property taxes do like in

4098
02:48:38,916 --> 02:48:39,551
the next week and then who gets

4099
02:48:39,551 --> 02:48:42,551
the spread from the actual

4100
02:48:43,388 --> 02:48:44,156
money being in the bank So

4101
02:48:44,156 --> 02:48:44,890
the money comes to the city It

4102
02:48:44,890 --> 02:48:47,890
probably doesn't go directly to

4103
02:48:48,159 --> 02:48:48,727
the city for a while.

4104
02:48:48,727 --> 02:48:49,127
So does the city get

4105
02:48:49,127 --> 02:48:51,127
the spread?

4106
02:48:52,630 --> 02:48:53,165
That's the whole banking system

4107
02:48:53,165 --> 02:48:53,799
is in the spread.

4108
02:48:53,799 --> 02:48:56,199
Whoever makes that holding

4109
02:48:56,934 --> 02:48:57,402
the money for seven days is

4110
02:48:57,402 --> 02:48:58,690
worth something.

4111
02:48:58,690 --> 02:49:01,669
That's a lot of money that's

4112
02:49:02,730 --> 02:49:02,941
going to somewhere.

4113
02:49:02,941 --> 02:49:03,708
I was just wondering who get do

4114
02:49:03,708 --> 02:49:06,708
you guys know who gets

4115
02:49:07,580 --> 02:49:08,280
the spread?

4116
02:49:08,280 --> 02:49:09,130
Does the county get it while

4117
02:49:09,130 --> 02:49:11,516
they're sitting on all the cash

4118
02:49:11,516 --> 02:49:12,384
before they give it to you Or

4119
02:49:12,384 --> 02:49:16,154
do you when they pay your taxes

4120
02:49:16,154 --> 02:49:16,521
you don't get the money that

4121
02:49:16,521 --> 02:49:17,322
same day.

4122
02:49:17,322 --> 02:49:20,322
So I just wondered who's

4123
02:49:20,926 --> 02:49:21,626
shading, who's getting

4124
02:49:21,626 --> 02:49:25,226
the spread And you might want

4125
02:49:26,531 --> 02:49:27,165
to tell us if you know that

4126
02:49:27,165 --> 02:49:29,565
who's getting the spread.

4127
02:49:30,350 --> 02:49:30,735
That's one of my questions And

4128
02:49:30,735 --> 02:49:34,335
then good luck with the trash

4129
02:49:35,730 --> 02:49:38,730
thing to That's my thing.

4130
02:49:39,211 --> 02:49:39,977
Thank you for your comments.

4131
02:49:39,977 --> 02:49:40,912
Our next speaker is a caller

4132
02:49:40,912 --> 02:49:43,912
with the last four digits 8700

4133
02:49:46,118 --> 02:49:48,118
Please begin.

4134
02:49:50,922 --> 02:49:51,790
Thank you.

4135
02:49:51,790 --> 02:49:52,524
So we have two minutes right?

4136
02:49:52,524 --> 02:49:54,924
Deputy City Clerk That's

4137
02:49:55,293 --> 02:49:56,610
correct.

4138
02:49:56,610 --> 02:49:59,610
Thank you so much, Joy.

4139
02:49:59,631 --> 02:50:03,231
Senator first of all yes to

4140
02:50:04,169 --> 02:50:04,770
trash collection system I think

4141
02:50:04,770 --> 02:50:07,170
I heard this correctly

4142
02:50:08,707 --> 02:50:12,307
The county is going to keep

4143
02:50:13,445 --> 02:50:14,212
$22,000 per year out of those

4144
02:50:14,212 --> 02:50:17,812
fees in order to process them.

4145
02:50:18,816 --> 02:50:19,518
Tax rules that surprise me.

4146
02:50:19,518 --> 02:50:22,518
I wish it were zero.

4147
02:50:23,722 --> 02:50:24,423
So thank you for

4148
02:50:24,423 --> 02:50:25,491
the presentation dsd and thank

4149
02:50:25,491 --> 02:50:28,661
you to esd for all your work on

4150
02:50:28,661 --> 02:50:29,228
this matter especially thank

4151
02:50:29,228 --> 02:50:31,628
you to Kirby Brady,

4152
02:50:33,265 --> 02:50:34,132
the director.

4153
02:50:34,132 --> 02:50:34,833
Now for me this process really

4154
02:50:34,833 --> 02:50:37,833
was the lessons I've learned.

4155
02:50:38,103 --> 02:50:38,970
I learned a lot.

4156
02:50:38,970 --> 02:50:42,741
You know I was a board right

4157
02:50:42,741 --> 02:50:43,542
from the beginning and I know

4158
02:50:43,542 --> 02:50:44,510
how many years ago that was And

4159
02:50:44,510 --> 02:50:48,130
I just have learned a lot And

4160
02:50:48,130 --> 02:50:48,780
after that give and take on

4161
02:50:48,780 --> 02:50:49,800
both sides that we came to this

4162
02:50:49,800 --> 02:50:51,800
place.

4163
02:50:52,785 --> 02:50:55,785
I support the adjusted lower

4164
02:50:57,690 --> 02:50:58,324
fee schedule Now I want to say

4165
02:50:58,324 --> 02:50:58,924
this Dear homeowners, I've

4166
02:50:58,924 --> 02:50:59,657
never been a homeowner.

4167
02:50:59,657 --> 02:51:02,661
I wish that would have happened

4168
02:51:02,661 --> 02:51:03,294
to me.

4169
02:51:03,294 --> 02:51:06,294
It wasn't in the cards.

4170
02:51:06,632 --> 02:51:07,266
But anyway, dear homeowners,

4171
02:51:07,266 --> 02:51:09,666
please don't protest this.

4172
02:51:12,204 --> 02:51:12,905

this big crisis of deficits and

4180
02:51:26,217 --> 02:51:26,886
so forth.

4181
02:51:26,886 --> 02:51:28,886
Everybody makes mistakes.

02:51:29,922 --> 02:51:30,890
We're all doing our best So

4183
02:51:30,890 --> 02:51:33,890

02:52:22,709 --> 02:52:25,709
Toni, we cannot hear you.

4197
02:52:31,818 --> 02:52:32,385
We will have to move on.

4198
02:52:32,385 --> 02:52:33,520
Council PRESIDENT That

4209
02:52:51,337 --> 02:52:51,971
The protest will be read into

>> Thank you.

4226
02:53:27,941 --> 02:53:28,541
Council PRESIDENT.

4227
02:53:28,541 --> 02:53:28,875
Good afternoon, Council

4228
02:53:28,875 --> 02:53:29,475
members.

4229
02:53:29,475 --> 02:53:30,900
My name is Jeremy Bauer,

4230
02:53:30,900 --> 02:53:32,900
Assistant Director,

4231
02:53:32,612 --> 02:53:33,460
Environmental Services

4232
02:53:33,460 --> 02:53:33,813
Department.

4233
02:53:33,813 --> 02:53:34,280
I'm joined with Sarah Sims, our

4234
02:53:34,280 --> 02:53:36,280
Deputy director.

4235
02:53:36,483 --> 02:53:37,500
MAY please have up to 15

4236
02:53:37,500 --> 02:53:37,484
minutes for this item.

4237
02:53:37,484 --> 02:53:37,984
>> All right.

4238
02:53:37,984 --> 02:53:38,285
When you're ready.

4239
02:53:38,285 --> 02:53:40,285
Great.

4240
02:53:41,220 --> 02:53:41,955
So today's item is to provide

4241
02:53:41,955 --> 02:53:42,356
an update on the implementation

4242
02:53:42,356 --> 02:53:42,922
activities.

4243
02:53:42,922 --> 02:53:44,922
Environmental Services

4244
02:53:46,592 --> 02:53:47,293
Department has been up to since

4245
02:53:47,293 --> 02:53:50,797
last JUNE when the solid waste

4246
02:53:50,797 --> 02:53:51,564
management fee was adopted.

4247
02:53:51,564 --> 02:53:52,320
We'll provide a quick update on

4248
02:53:52,320 --> 02:53:54,320
the background.

4249
02:53:55,802 --> 02:53:56,503
We'll discuss the container,

4250
02:53:56,503 --> 02:53:59,503
roll out the customer portal.

4251
02:54:00,373 --> 02:54:00,907
We'll talk about the financial

4252
02:54:00,907 --> 02:54:01,575
assistance program.

4253
02:54:01,575 --> 02:54:03,975
The outreach and engagement

4254
02:54:05,212 --> 02:54:05,912
activities we've undertaken

4255
02:54:05,912 --> 02:54:07,912
upcoming program developments.

4256
02:54:12,986 --> 02:54:13,334
The fund outlook And next Steps

4257
02:54:13,334 --> 02:54:14,200
.

4258
02:54:14,200 --> 02:54:17,200
So as a background under

4259
02:54:17,958 --> 02:54:18,658
the city ordinance city forces

4260
02:54:18,658 --> 02:54:19,292
are obligated to provide trash

4261
02:54:19,292 --> 02:54:21,692
and recycling services to

4262
02:54:23,864 --> 02:54:24,297
eligible customers in the city

4263
02:54:24,297 --> 02:54:24,965
of San Diego.

4264
02:54:24,965 --> 02:54:25,599
The city ordinance specifies

4265
02:54:25,599 --> 02:54:28,469
that this work be done by

4266
02:54:28,469 --> 02:54:28,768
employees of the city of San

4267
02:54:28,768 --> 02:54:29,536
Diego.

4268
02:54:29,536 --> 02:54:32,536
And it clarifies who's eligible

4269
02:54:32,672 --> 02:54:33,340
namely residential properties

4270
02:54:33,340 --> 02:54:36,940
with one of up to four

4271
02:54:37,211 --> 02:54:37,944
properties on a single lot that

4272
02:54:37,944 --> 02:54:38,278
meet city requirements for city

4273
02:54:38,278 --> 02:54:38,645
service.

4274
02:54:38,645 --> 02:54:40,645
Measure b.

4275
02:54:42,382 --> 02:54:43,830
When it was adopted by voters

4276
02:54:43,830 --> 02:54:43,783
in 2022, it removed a long

4277
02:54:43,783 --> 02:54:46,183
standing prohibition that had

4278
02:54:46,887 --> 02:54:47,487
been in place that prevented

4279
02:54:47,487 --> 02:54:48,880
the city from recovering

4280
02:54:48,880 --> 02:54:51,880
the cost To provide this

4281
02:54:51,391 --> 02:54:52,590
service.

4282
02:54:52,590 --> 02:54:55,590
Following a year of outreach

4283
02:54:56,496 --> 02:54:57,163
and engagement and a cost of

4284
02:54:57,163 --> 02:54:57,664
service study, we presented

4285
02:54:57,664 --> 02:54:59,664
four City Council

4286
02:55:01,535 --> 02:55:02,136
considerations last JUNE a fee

4287
02:55:02,136 --> 02:55:02,835
to recover those costs.

4288
02:55:02,835 --> 02:55:05,835
City Council adopted that fee

4289
02:55:06,406 --> 02:55:07,107
on JUNE nine, 2025 and then a

4290
02:55:07,107 --> 02:55:10,107
couple of weeks after that

4291
02:55:10,611 --> 02:55:11,311
authorized the city to collect

4292
02:55:11,311 --> 02:55:14,911
the fee on the county textual.

4293
02:55:15,882 --> 02:55:16,550
Before the adoption of that fee

4294
02:55:16,550 --> 02:55:17,217
the services were primarily

4295
02:55:17,217 --> 02:55:20,217
covered by the general fund.

4296
02:55:20,387 --> 02:55:20,854
Now they're largely covered by

4297
02:55:20,854 --> 02:55:21,655
the fee as well.

4298
02:55:21,655 --> 02:55:24,655
I'll note in this presentation

4299
02:55:24,958 --> 02:55:25,692
that on JUNE 8th the City

4300
02:55:25,692 --> 02:55:28,920
Council authorized a settlement

4301
02:55:29,796 --> 02:55:30,597
agreement which reduces

4302
02:55:30,597 --> 02:55:33,597
the previously adopted fee for

4303
02:55:33,701 --> 02:55:34,401
fiscal year 28 and 29.

4304
02:55:34,401 --> 02:55:35,680
The action did not change

4305
02:55:35,680 --> 02:55:36,360
the fee for the current year

4306
02:55:36,360 --> 02:55:40,236
nor did it change the fee for

4307
02:55:41,242 --> 02:55:41,909
next year.

4308
02:55:41,909 --> 02:55:44,909
So on the container rollout

4309
02:55:46,146 --> 02:55:46,747
I'll take the opportunity to

4310
02:55:46,747 --> 02:55:47,380
remind the rationale for

4311
02:55:47,380 --> 02:55:49,380
replacing the containers.

4312
02:55:51,418 --> 02:55:52,153
The new fee is based on

4313
02:55:52,153 --> 02:55:52,753
the size of the trash container

4314
02:55:52,753 --> 02:55:55,753
and the total number of

4315
02:55:56,290 --> 02:55:57,570
containers on the property.

4316
02:55:57,570 --> 02:55:59,457
The new containers recognizing

4317
02:56:00,561 --> 02:56:01,261
that the city did not have

4318
02:56:01,261 --> 02:56:01,929
great data on the number of

4319
02:56:01,929 --> 02:56:04,329
containers at each property.

4320
02:56:05,733 --> 02:56:06,400
We didn't have sufficient

4321
02:56:06,400 --> 02:56:06,967
accuracy or precision to be

4322
02:56:06,967 --> 02:56:09,967
able to know how many

4323
02:56:10,371 --> 02:56:11,105
containers were out there and

4324
02:56:11,105 --> 02:56:11,839
to be able to ensure customer

4325
02:56:11,839 --> 02:56:14,839
verification that we were only

4326
02:56:15,543 --> 02:56:16,176
providing service to eligible

4327
02:56:16,176 --> 02:56:19,176
customers and that we were

4328
02:56:19,713 --> 02:56:20,347
providing service at the level

4329
02:56:20,347 --> 02:56:22,747
selected by the customer.

4330
02:56:24,952 --> 02:56:25,652
Also recognizing that so many

4331
02:56:25,652 --> 02:56:26,353
of the containers out there

4332
02:56:26,353 --> 02:56:26,920
were well beyond their useful

4333
02:56:26,920 --> 02:56:29,320
life, we did make

4334
02:56:30,257 --> 02:56:30,958
the determination that the most

4335
02:56:30,958 --> 02:56:31,625
effective way to validate our

4336
02:56:31,625 --> 02:56:34,250
customers and their service

4337
02:56:35,290 --> 02:56:35,663
level was to do provide new

4338
02:56:35,663 --> 02:56:38,630
containers, new trash and

4339
02:56:39,700 --> 02:56:40,434
recycling containers.

4340
02:56:40,434 --> 02:56:40,935
Importantly we involved in this

4341
02:56:40,935 --> 02:56:42,935
process collecting

4342
02:56:44,372 --> 02:56:45,105
the containers to recycle them

4343
02:56:45,105 --> 02:56:48,705
to ensure that that material is

4344
02:56:48,910 --> 02:56:49,577
available to make new plastic

4345
02:56:49,577 --> 02:56:50,210
products including buckets,

4346
02:56:50,210 --> 02:56:53,210
pallets or even new trash

4347
02:56:53,714 --> 02:56:54,582
containers.

4348
02:56:54,582 --> 02:56:55,349
I will also note that the we

4349
02:56:55,349 --> 02:56:58,349
are not doing a comprehensive

4350
02:56:58,485 --> 02:56:59,153
replacement of the green

4351
02:56:59,153 --> 02:56:59,753
organics containers as those

4352
02:56:59,753 --> 02:57:02,753
are quite new But those

4353
02:57:02,790 --> 02:57:03,524
customers that are changing

4354
02:57:03,524 --> 02:57:04,157
their organics service level or

4355
02:57:04,157 --> 02:57:06,627
have the legacy yard waste

4356
02:57:06,627 --> 02:57:09,627
containers they will receive a

4357
02:57:11,432 --> 02:57:12,299
new green container.

4358
02:57:12,299 --> 02:57:15,299
This slide shows a visual

4359
02:57:16,103 --> 02:57:16,771
representation representation

4360
02:57:16,771 --> 02:57:17,380
of the progress of the roll

4361
02:57:17,380 --> 02:57:17,772
out.

4362
02:57:17,772 --> 02:57:20,908
You'll see the bar graphs on

4363
02:57:20,908 --> 02:57:21,542
the left.

4364
02:57:21,542 --> 02:57:22,430
The progress on the gray

4365
02:57:22,430 --> 02:57:24,430
container rollout.

4366
02:57:25,546 --> 02:57:26,180
We started in OCTOBER and

4367
02:57:26,180 --> 02:57:26,647
essentially completed that

4368
02:57:26,647 --> 02:57:28,647
process in MAY.

4369
02:57:31,252 --> 02:57:32,119
As of there's a less than half

4370
02:57:32,119 --> 02:57:35,719
a percent or so of data

4371
02:57:35,790 --> 02:57:36,391
verification for some of

4372
02:57:36,391 --> 02:57:38,791
the gray containers But

4373
02:57:38,960 --> 02:57:41,360
essentially it's complete at

4374
02:57:42,730 --> 02:57:43,398
259,000 containers to nearly

4375
02:57:43,398 --> 02:57:43,698
2020 5000 customers at this

4376
02:57:43,698 --> 02:57:44,332
point.

4377
02:57:44,332 --> 02:57:44,832
And as I mentioned, we're

4378
02:57:44,832 --> 02:57:46,832
verifying data for

4379
02:57:48,202 --> 02:57:48,603
the remaining of the blue

4380
02:57:48,603 --> 02:57:49,303
containers.

4381
02:57:49,303 --> 02:57:52,303
We're at nearly 60% roll out.

4382
02:57:52,940 --> 02:57:53,741
Do you see the teal shows,

4383
02:57:53,741 --> 02:57:56,944
the actual and the blue shows

4384
02:57:56,944 --> 02:57:57,612
the anticipated progress and

4385
02:57:57,612 --> 02:57:58,179
scheduled to be complete by

4386
02:57:58,179 --> 02:58:00,579
the end of SEPTEMBER?

4387
02:58:02,483 --> 02:58:05,483
The customer portal we launched

4388
02:58:07,188 --> 02:58:07,955
in in JULY of last year.

4389
02:58:07,955 --> 02:58:08,590
It's a way for customers to

4390
02:58:08,590 --> 02:58:10,990
engage in self-service to

4391
02:58:11,592 --> 02:58:12,260
select their containers, to

4392
02:58:12,260 --> 02:58:14,660
track their service levels,

4393
02:58:15,797 --> 02:58:16,564
track their billing history and

4394
02:58:16,564 --> 02:58:20,164
also to sign up for text

4395
02:58:20,835 --> 02:58:21,136
message alerts or email alerts

4396
02:58:21,136 --> 02:58:21,802
.

4397
02:58:21,802 --> 02:58:23,802
Over 123,000 customers have

4398
02:58:24,906 --> 02:58:25,239
created portal accounts about

4399
02:58:25,239 --> 02:58:26,700
55%.

4400
02:58:26,700 --> 02:58:26,707
We designed it to be optional.

4401
02:58:26,707 --> 02:58:29,707
We know some customers prefer

4402
02:58:29,878 --> 02:58:30,377
to speak on the phone and that

4403
02:58:30,377 --> 02:58:31,145
remains an option.

4404
02:58:31,145 --> 02:58:34,145
It also allows customers to

4405
02:58:35,160 --> 02:58:37,160
pledge donations.

4406
02:58:39,321 --> 02:58:40,210
And as of this week around

4407
02:58:40,210 --> 02:58:42,421
$63,000 has been raised by

4408
02:58:43,625 --> 02:58:44,292
customers who not only are

4409
02:58:44,292 --> 02:58:44,926
paying the fee for the first

4410
02:58:44,926 --> 02:58:45,493
time but pledged to donate

4411
02:58:45,493 --> 02:58:46,127
money to the financial

4412
02:58:46,127 --> 02:58:48,290
assistance program to help

4413
02:58:48,290 --> 02:58:48,796
their neighbors.

4414
02:58:48,796 --> 02:58:49,564
I'll also note that customers

4415
02:58:49,564 --> 02:58:53,164
can create a portal account at

4416
02:58:53,268 --> 02:58:54,380
any time.

4417
02:58:54,380 --> 02:58:57,638
They have benefits to doing so.

4418
02:58:58,439 --> 02:58:59,340
The website San Diego dot gov

4419
02:58:59,340 --> 02:59:00,108
slash trash has a 1 to 3 step

4420
02:59:00,108 --> 02:59:03,512
process for how they can create

4421
02:59:03,512 --> 02:59:04,246
an account and by doing so

4422
02:59:04,246 --> 02:59:07,846
again they have the benefits of

4423
02:59:08,182 --> 02:59:08,884
the ability to self-service for

4424
02:59:08,884 --> 02:59:10,218
container replacement repairs,

4425
02:59:10,218 --> 02:59:13,218
checking service or to view

4426
02:59:15,590 --> 02:59:16,358
their history.

4427
02:59:16,358 --> 02:59:18,758
So the financial assistance

4428
02:59:19,894 --> 02:59:20,561
program I really want to

4429
02:59:20,561 --> 02:59:20,862
describe this as a success

4430
02:59:20,862 --> 02:59:21,596
story.

4431
02:59:21,596 --> 02:59:22,197
We were throughout the outreach

4432
02:59:22,197 --> 02:59:24,597
and engagement we heard

4433
02:59:25,200 --> 02:59:25,934
concerns from residents about

4434
02:59:25,934 --> 02:59:26,768
paying a fee for the very first

4435
02:59:26,768 --> 02:59:29,971
time and we have reassured them

4436
02:59:29,971 --> 02:59:30,539
that we are working on

4437
02:59:30,539 --> 02:59:31,172
developing a financial

4438
02:59:31,172 --> 02:59:33,572
assistance program to help

4439
02:59:34,575 --> 02:59:34,876
those who would be most in

4440
02:59:34,876 --> 02:59:35,577
need.

4441
02:59:35,577 --> 02:59:36,278
So it was very meaningful for

4442
02:59:36,278 --> 02:59:39,180
us that city council included

4443
02:59:39,180 --> 02:59:39,814
in the budget for esd funding

4444
02:59:39,814 --> 02:59:42,814
to launch this program in

4445
02:59:43,918 --> 02:59:44,653
JANUARY We partnered with

4446
02:59:44,653 --> 02:59:45,320
the Metropolitan Area Advisory

4447
02:59:45,320 --> 02:59:47,720
Committee on Anti-Poverty of

4448
02:59:48,923 --> 02:59:49,724
San Diego County, also known as

4449
02:59:49,724 --> 02:59:50,426
Mack, a local nonprofit And I'm

4450
02:59:50,426 --> 02:59:52,594
pleased to share that a couple

4451
02:59:52,594 --> 02:59:53,395
of representatives from Mack

4452
02:59:53,395 --> 02:59:53,795
are here with us today in

4453
02:59:53,795 --> 02:59:55,795
the chamber.

4454
02:59:57,465 --> 02:59:58,133
>> The program was designed

4455
02:59:58,133 --> 02:59:58,767
based on either household

4456
02:59:58,767 --> 03:00:01,167
income if household if

4457
03:00:02,437 --> 03:00:04,437
customers meet income

4458
03:00:06,708 --> 03:00:07,342
requirements or as a proxy if a

4459
03:00:07,342 --> 03:00:07,943
member of the household is

4460
03:00:07,943 --> 03:00:10,343
enrolled in an existing

4461
03:00:11,880 --> 03:00:12,614
assistance program including

4462
03:00:12,614 --> 03:00:13,315
Medi-Cal Health, Fresh CalWORKs

4463
03:00:13,315 --> 03:00:13,849
or the Low Income Home Energy

4464
03:00:13,849 --> 03:00:15,849
Assistance Program.

4465
03:00:16,852 --> 03:00:17,552
If they apply they could be

4466
03:00:17,552 --> 03:00:18,153
deemed they could qualify for

4467
03:00:18,153 --> 03:00:20,153
the assistance program.

4468
03:00:21,190 --> 03:00:21,957
The assistance amount was set

4469
03:00:21,957 --> 03:00:25,557
at 50% off of the solid waste

4470
03:00:25,960 --> 03:00:26,695
management fee or recognizing

4471
03:00:26,695 --> 03:00:27,129
the concerns around charging on

4472
03:00:27,129 --> 03:00:29,129
the tax roll.

4473
03:00:30,532 --> 03:00:31,200
We added an additional

4474
03:00:31,200 --> 03:00:34,200
criterion If a household was

4475
03:00:35,537 --> 03:00:36,238
enrolled in a payment plan for

4476
03:00:36,238 --> 03:00:36,839
past due property taxes which

4477
03:00:36,839 --> 03:00:39,839
is an indicator of past

4478
03:00:40,776 --> 03:00:41,510
inability to pay their property

4479
03:00:41,510 --> 03:00:41,943
taxes, they would qualify for a

4480
03:00:41,943 --> 03:00:43,943
400% subsidy.

4481
03:00:46,140 --> 03:00:46,615
And as of this week two two

4482
03:00:46,615 --> 03:00:47,315
customers have met both

4483
03:00:47,315 --> 03:00:50,619
criteria And so we have made

4484
03:00:50,619 --> 03:00:53,455
use of both both the 50% off

4485
03:00:53,455 --> 03:00:53,789
assistance as well as the 100%

4486
03:00:53,789 --> 03:00:55,789
subsidy.

4487
03:00:58,293 --> 03:00:58,893
I'll note for fiscal year 26

4488
03:00:58,893 --> 03:00:59,662
assistance we had set a

4489
03:00:59,662 --> 03:01:02,330
deadline of APRIL 30th and Mac

4490
03:01:02,330 --> 03:01:02,864
is currently going through

4491
03:01:02,864 --> 03:01:03,432
the fourth thousand

4492
03:01:03,432 --> 03:01:03,799
applications that were

4493
03:01:03,799 --> 03:01:04,366
received.

4494
03:01:04,366 --> 03:01:06,366
We're still accepting

4495
03:01:07,536 --> 03:01:08,170
applications now through next

4496
03:01:08,170 --> 03:01:10,570
APRIL 30th for assistance

4497
03:01:11,140 --> 03:01:14,140
towards the fiscal year 27 fee.

4498
03:01:16,440 --> 03:01:16,778
And I'll note that as of as of

4499
03:01:16,778 --> 03:01:19,178
now of the approximately 4000

4500
03:01:19,381 --> 03:01:20,115
applications received, around

4501
03:01:20,115 --> 03:01:20,950
2400 have been fully approved

4502
03:01:20,950 --> 03:01:24,860
and Mac is busy working through

4503
03:01:24,860 --> 03:01:24,854
the remainder.

4504
03:01:24,854 --> 03:01:25,620
Some things to look forward to

4505
03:01:25,620 --> 03:01:28,620
for next year with with

4506
03:01:28,757 --> 03:01:29,625
the program.

4507
03:01:29,625 --> 03:01:30,292
As I noted in addition to this

4508
03:01:30,292 --> 03:01:30,626
this program remains in our

4509
03:01:30,626 --> 03:01:32,626
budget.

4510
03:01:33,929 --> 03:01:34,596
In addition to the budgeted

4511
03:01:34,596 --> 03:01:37,596
amount from the general fund

4512
03:01:37,633 --> 03:01:38,333
we're also counting on

4513
03:01:38,333 --> 03:01:38,701
the $64,000 in donations from

4514
03:01:38,701 --> 03:01:39,368
customers.

4515
03:01:39,368 --> 03:01:42,368
We've also based on feedback

4516
03:01:43,500 --> 03:01:43,706
from the community we've added

4517
03:01:43,706 --> 03:01:44,306
an additional proxy criterion

4518
03:01:44,306 --> 03:01:47,306
if a household member is

4519
03:01:48,144 --> 03:01:48,877
enrolled in the Jenny Care

4520
03:01:48,877 --> 03:01:49,344
program they would also qualify

4521
03:01:49,344 --> 03:01:51,344
for our program.

4522
03:01:52,548 --> 03:01:53,181
That will also be updating

4523
03:01:53,181 --> 03:01:53,516
the income requirements to

4524
03:01:53,516 --> 03:01:54,830
$2,027.

4525
03:01:54,830 --> 03:01:56,830
We've also streamlined

4526
03:01:57,620 --> 03:01:58,200
enrollment re enrollment based

4527
03:01:58,200 --> 03:01:58,720
on feedback.

4528
03:01:58,720 --> 03:02:02,320
If a customer is eligible one

4529
03:02:02,391 --> 03:02:03,590
year they would qualify for a

4530
03:02:03,590 --> 03:02:03,759
second year assuming it's a

4531
03:02:03,759 --> 03:02:06,759
still the same property owner.

4532
03:02:07,630 --> 03:02:08,297
Similarly if they apply for

4533
03:02:08,297 --> 03:02:09,980
the first time in 2027 they

4534
03:02:09,980 --> 03:02:11,667
would have a streamline and a

4535
03:02:11,667 --> 03:02:12,670
qualification for the year

4536
03:02:12,670 --> 03:02:12,701
after that.

4537
03:02:12,701 --> 03:02:15,101
For applications that are

4538
03:02:17,400 --> 03:02:17,739
approved to the for AUGUST 10th

4539
03:02:17,739 --> 03:02:20,739
they will see their reduction

4540
03:02:21,811 --> 03:02:22,545
applied proactively to the bill

4541
03:02:22,545 --> 03:02:25,148
that they see on their property

4542
03:02:25,148 --> 03:02:25,782
tax bill after AUGUST 10th

4543
03:02:25,782 --> 03:02:26,416
assuming funding remains.

4544
03:02:26,416 --> 03:02:29,416
We will continue to accept

4545
03:02:29,886 --> 03:02:30,686
applications on a rolling basis

4546
03:02:30,686 --> 03:02:34,286
and at that point the payments

4547
03:02:35,324 --> 03:02:36,590
will be provided as a rebate.

4548
03:02:36,590 --> 03:02:36,726
We'll continue to hold clinics,

4549
03:02:36,726 --> 03:02:39,126
in-person clinics to assist

4550
03:02:39,629 --> 03:02:40,296
customers on how to enroll, how

4551
03:02:40,296 --> 03:02:43,632
to apply for the program And

4552
03:02:43,632 --> 03:02:44,233
the program will continue to be

4553
03:02:44,233 --> 03:02:44,934
first come first serve.

4554
03:02:44,934 --> 03:02:48,400
I'll note that the funding for

4555
03:02:48,400 --> 03:02:48,471
the program had capacity for

4556
03:02:48,471 --> 03:02:49,238
7000 customers.

4557
03:02:49,238 --> 03:02:51,638
We had 4000 applications this

4558
03:02:52,775 --> 03:02:53,409
year so we did have capacity to

4559
03:02:53,409 --> 03:02:53,843
fully cover the number of

4560
03:02:53,843 --> 03:02:55,843
applications.

4561
03:02:58,580 --> 03:02:59,181
We continue to spread the word

4562
03:02:59,181 --> 03:02:59,849
about the program and we

4563
03:02:59,849 --> 03:03:02,849
believe with through word of

4564
03:03:03,286 --> 03:03:03,986
mouth and social media and

4565
03:03:03,986 --> 03:03:04,487
targeted outreach more people

4566
03:03:04,487 --> 03:03:05,154
will become aware.

4567
03:03:05,154 --> 03:03:07,990
We continue to believe that

4568
03:03:07,990 --> 03:03:08,691
the existing capacity is enough

4569
03:03:08,691 --> 03:03:09,920
to meet the need of people who

4570
03:03:09,920 --> 03:03:11,920
will apply.

4571
03:03:12,929 --> 03:03:13,596
With that said, we are

4572
03:03:13,596 --> 03:03:14,297
receiving weekly updates for

4573
03:03:14,297 --> 03:03:17,700
Mac and as we get the data if

4574
03:03:17,700 --> 03:03:21,900
we need to revisit or pivot we

4575
03:03:22,710 --> 03:03:22,672
will be able to do so.

4576
03:03:22,672 --> 03:03:24,672
Outreach and engagement.

4577
03:03:27,760 --> 03:03:30,676
Mac I mentioned has done at

4578
03:03:31,114 --> 03:03:31,848
this point 1515 in-person

4579
03:03:31,848 --> 03:03:35,118
clinics the last fiscal year or

4580
03:03:35,118 --> 03:03:35,785
sorry before APRIL 30th and

4581
03:03:35,785 --> 03:03:36,352
seven more since APRIL 30th.

4582
03:03:36,352 --> 03:03:37,219
For our part it's been

4583
03:03:37,219 --> 03:03:40,557
important to us to continue to

4584
03:03:40,557 --> 03:03:41,257
be available and present in

4585
03:03:41,257 --> 03:03:41,958
the community to give updates

4586
03:03:41,958 --> 03:03:44,728
similar to what you're hearing

4587
03:03:44,728 --> 03:03:45,462
in this presentation.

4588
03:03:45,462 --> 03:03:46,129
Talk about financial assistance

4589
03:03:46,129 --> 03:03:46,429
and answer questions face to

4590
03:03:46,429 --> 03:03:48,429
face.

4591
03:03:49,766 --> 03:03:50,599
I've seen many of your staff.

4592
03:03:50,599 --> 03:03:51,301
I've seen some of you in person

4593
03:03:51,301 --> 03:03:54,301
yourselves as well at these

4594
03:03:54,503 --> 03:03:55,380
meetings and we continue to be

4595
03:03:55,380 --> 03:03:56,606
available to do so.

4596
03:03:56,606 --> 03:04:00,206
As of now we've done about 25

4597
03:04:01,611 --> 03:04:02,212
of these meetings with

4598
03:04:02,212 --> 03:04:02,879
community planning group

4599
03:04:02,879 --> 03:04:03,213
meetings, town councils and

4600
03:04:03,213 --> 03:04:03,880
others.

4601
03:04:03,880 --> 03:04:04,948
We talk about the container

4602
03:04:04,948 --> 03:04:07,348
rollout potential systems and

4603
03:04:09,752 --> 03:04:10,520
we answer the questions.

4604
03:04:10,520 --> 03:04:13,520
So what's coming up with

4605
03:04:14,957 --> 03:04:15,825
the adoption of the reduced

4606
03:04:15,825 --> 03:04:16,659
fees for fiscal year 28 and 29?

4607
03:04:16,659 --> 03:04:20,300
As we get out in the community

4608
03:04:20,300 --> 03:04:20,797
we'll continue to amplify that

4609
03:04:20,797 --> 03:04:21,498
decision and what it means for

4610
03:04:21,498 --> 03:04:25,980
the timing of the reduced fees

4611
03:04:25,368 --> 03:04:25,969
and what it means with regard

4612
03:04:25,969 --> 03:04:26,669
to weekly just like

4613
03:04:26,669 --> 03:04:27,337
the previous plans for weekly

4614
03:04:27,337 --> 03:04:29,737
recycling and previous plans

4615
03:04:30,206 --> 03:04:30,874
for the bulky item program.

4616
03:04:30,874 --> 03:04:33,274
We'll also continue to

4617
03:04:34,844 --> 03:04:35,445
emphasize that the plan was

4618
03:04:35,445 --> 03:04:36,145
always when we developed

4619
03:04:36,145 --> 03:04:39,145
deliver the new containers to

4620
03:04:39,815 --> 03:04:40,517
ultimately phase out collection

4621
03:04:40,517 --> 03:04:41,840
from the old black containers

4622
03:04:41,840 --> 03:04:41,485
and the old dark blue

4623
03:04:41,485 --> 03:04:42,190
containers.

4624
03:04:42,190 --> 03:04:43,987
So we'll continue to

4625
03:04:43,987 --> 03:04:47,587
communicate on that as well as

4626
03:04:49,920 --> 03:04:49,792
customers who need additional

4627
03:04:49,792 --> 03:04:50,460
containers engaging with them

4628
03:04:50,460 --> 03:04:53,963
so they know how to do so

4629
03:04:53,963 --> 03:04:54,697
whether it's ordering more or

4630
03:04:54,697 --> 03:04:55,298
for those who have determined

4631
03:04:55,298 --> 03:04:58,298
they don't need as much

4632
03:04:58,835 --> 03:04:59,569
capacity how to downsize which

4633
03:04:59,569 --> 03:05:03,169
could result in reduced fee for

4634
03:05:03,573 --> 03:05:04,307
them going forward as well as

4635
03:05:04,307 --> 03:05:04,908
emphasizing the availability of

4636
03:05:04,908 --> 03:05:05,241
the financial assistance

4637
03:05:05,241 --> 03:05:07,241
program.

4638
03:05:08,312 --> 03:05:09,120
Our code compliance officers

4639
03:05:09,120 --> 03:05:09,613
when they observe overflowing

4640
03:05:09,613 --> 03:05:12,130
containers they will be

4641
03:05:12,916 --> 03:05:13,617
engaging with customers leaving

4642
03:05:13,617 --> 03:05:16,170
behind literature so customers

4643
03:05:16,453 --> 03:05:17,120
know how to order a second

4644
03:05:17,120 --> 03:05:17,821
container as well as if they

4645
03:05:17,821 --> 03:05:20,821
continue to see the lingering

4646
03:05:21,324 --> 03:05:21,892
black containers to remove

4647
03:05:21,892 --> 03:05:22,325
those and engage with

4648
03:05:22,325 --> 03:05:24,325
the customers.

4649
03:05:25,929 --> 03:05:26,630
So if they need to order

4650
03:05:26,630 --> 03:05:27,230
another one another gray one

4651
03:05:27,230 --> 03:05:30,634
they know how to do so.

4652
03:05:30,634 --> 03:05:31,301
We mentioned last JUNE that all

4653
03:05:31,301 --> 03:05:31,969
of the new containers become

4654
03:05:31,969 --> 03:05:34,369
equipped with rfid readers.

4655
03:05:35,773 --> 03:05:36,473
We are working on the next

4656
03:05:36,473 --> 03:05:37,174
stages of a pilot to test

4657
03:05:37,174 --> 03:05:40,174
the technology of the hardware

4658
03:05:40,944 --> 03:05:41,612
that will be attached to

4659
03:05:41,612 --> 03:05:42,345
the trucks and that hardware

4660
03:05:42,345 --> 03:05:45,345
when when installed would allow

4661
03:05:45,715 --> 03:05:46,416
us to collect operational data

4662
03:05:46,416 --> 03:05:49,416
to improve services over time

4663
03:05:50,190 --> 03:05:50,787
as well as identify containers

4664
03:05:50,787 --> 03:05:51,254
that are not where they are

4665
03:05:51,254 --> 03:05:51,889
supposed to be.

4666
03:05:51,889 --> 03:05:54,889
That's not the purpose of

4667
03:05:55,292 --> 03:05:56,610
today's item but we will you

4668
03:05:56,610 --> 03:05:56,827
can look forward to an item in

4669
03:05:56,827 --> 03:06:00,164
the coming weeks or so on on

4670
03:06:00,164 --> 03:06:00,931
that item.

4671
03:06:00,931 --> 03:06:04,531
The fee schedule I won't go

4672
03:06:04,868 --> 03:06:05,635
into too much detail.

4673
03:06:05,635 --> 03:06:06,336
We've presented this a couple

4674
03:06:06,336 --> 03:06:09,739
of weeks ago but I'll just

4675
03:06:09,739 --> 03:06:10,474
highlight for those present.

4676
03:06:10,474 --> 03:06:14,740
The second column are the fees

4677
03:06:14,277 --> 03:06:14,878
that go into effect JULY 1st,

4678
03:06:14,878 --> 03:06:15,846
2026 of this year.

4679
03:06:15,846 --> 03:06:18,482
You can see they are about a

4680
03:06:18,482 --> 03:06:22,820
dollar more for the three main

4681
03:06:22,186 --> 03:06:22,853
bundles but then I'll emphasize

4682
03:06:22,853 --> 03:06:23,554
the latter two columns Those

4683
03:06:23,554 --> 03:06:26,554
are the newly adopted reduced

4684
03:06:26,857 --> 03:06:27,324
fees for fiscal year 28 in

4685
03:06:27,324 --> 03:06:28,250
fiscal year 29.

4686
03:06:28,250 --> 03:06:31,362
And one thing in particular I

4687
03:06:31,362 --> 03:06:32,290
want to emphasize is

4688
03:06:32,290 --> 03:06:32,662
the because the reduced fees

4689
03:06:32,662 --> 03:06:35,620
are heavily subsidized by

4690
03:06:35,933 --> 03:06:36,633
the recycling fund.

4691
03:06:36,633 --> 03:06:37,401
The fee for an additional

4692
03:06:37,401 --> 03:06:40,401
recycling bin for fiscal year

4693
03:06:40,404 --> 03:06:43,404
28 goes down to $6.01 per month

4694
03:06:44,108 --> 03:06:44,642
for that fiscal year and then

4695
03:06:44,642 --> 03:06:45,276
$6.56 per month for

4696
03:06:45,276 --> 03:06:47,676
the following fiscal year.

4697
03:06:48,412 --> 03:06:49,790
And this is important to note

4698
03:06:49,790 --> 03:06:49,680
as some customers MAY have

4699
03:06:49,680 --> 03:06:51,680
ordered fewer recycling

4700
03:06:53,451 --> 03:06:53,818
containers anticipating weekly

4701
03:06:53,818 --> 03:06:54,718
recycling.

4702
03:06:54,718 --> 03:06:56,286
So I wanted to be sure to

4703
03:06:56,286 --> 03:06:59,286
amplify the subsidized rate for

4704
03:07:01,558 --> 03:07:02,626
a second recycling container.

4705
03:07:02,626 --> 03:07:06,226
This next slide as well we

4706
03:07:07,131 --> 03:07:07,832
presented a couple of weeks ago

4707
03:07:07,832 --> 03:07:08,132
at the adoption of the reduced

4708
03:07:08,132 --> 03:07:08,799
fees.

4709
03:07:08,799 --> 03:07:11,200
I'll just note a couple of

4710
03:07:11,200 --> 03:07:11,869
things.

4711
03:07:11,869 --> 03:07:14,869
One, the second row shows

4712
03:07:15,739 --> 03:07:16,440
the rate revenue.

4713
03:07:16,440 --> 03:07:17,141
So looking at the third column

4714
03:07:17,141 --> 03:07:20,678
you see the rate revenue goes

4715
03:07:20,678 --> 03:07:21,278
down significantly when

4716
03:07:21,278 --> 03:07:21,846
the fees are reduced.

4717
03:07:21,846 --> 03:07:22,279
The next two rows show

4718
03:07:22,279 --> 03:07:24,279
the subsidies.

4719
03:07:26,150 --> 03:07:26,818
So you see the estimated

4720
03:07:26,818 --> 03:07:27,118
subsidies from the recycling

4721
03:07:27,118 --> 03:07:29,118
fund.

4722
03:07:30,454 --> 03:07:31,155
And then the next row

4723
03:07:31,155 --> 03:07:31,456
the subsidies from the general

4724
03:07:31,456 --> 03:07:32,156
fund.

4725
03:07:32,156 --> 03:07:32,857
I'll note these are these are

4726
03:07:32,857 --> 03:07:35,257
estimates They will ultimately

4727
03:07:35,693 --> 03:07:36,427
be subject to the budgeting

4728
03:07:36,427 --> 03:07:37,610
process and actual expenditures

4729
03:07:37,610 --> 03:07:40,610
and revenues leading up to

4730
03:07:40,198 --> 03:07:40,831
those years.

4731
03:07:40,831 --> 03:07:41,666
And then lastly the fund

4732
03:07:41,666 --> 03:07:44,434
balance, you can see that we

4733
03:07:44,434 --> 03:07:45,200
are one of the anticipated

4734
03:07:45,200 --> 03:07:45,702
changes we made to our

4735
03:07:45,702 --> 03:07:48,702
operation based on the reduced

4736
03:07:53,711 --> 03:07:54,411
fees is not funding our to

4737
03:07:54,411 --> 03:07:55,346
build up our fund balance.

4738
03:07:55,346 --> 03:07:57,148
So you see if we remain in a

4739
03:07:57,148 --> 03:07:57,714
negative position through

4740
03:07:57,714 --> 03:08:00,114
the four year period.

4741
03:08:01,786 --> 03:08:02,486
So next steps is following up

4742
03:08:02,486 --> 03:08:03,187
the latter part of the hearing

4743
03:08:03,187 --> 03:08:06,591
on the adoption of the report

4744
03:08:06,591 --> 03:08:09,591
for the property tax bill

4745
03:08:10,940 --> 03:08:10,794
Following this item between now

4746
03:08:10,794 --> 03:08:11,529
and AUGUST 10th Mac will

4747
03:08:11,529 --> 03:08:13,929
continue to review applications

4748
03:08:14,431 --> 03:08:15,990
for fiscal Year 27 assistance.

4749
03:08:15,990 --> 03:08:15,833
For those who will see

4750
03:08:15,833 --> 03:08:19,103
the assistance in the form of a

4751
03:08:19,103 --> 03:08:19,804
credit on their tax bill and

4752
03:08:19,804 --> 03:08:20,538
then after AUGUST 10th they'll

4753
03:08:20,538 --> 03:08:22,938
continue to review applications

4754
03:08:24,750 --> 03:08:24,742
for rebate style And then by

4755
03:08:24,742 --> 03:08:25,476

4757
03:08:29,247 --> 03:08:29,881

03:08:30,615 --> 03:08:34,180

the rollout of the new

4762
03:08:38,590 --> 03:08:39,390
recycling containers.

4763
03:08:39,390 --> 03:08:39,857
>> And thank you for your time

4764
03:08:39,857 --> 03:08:40,224
this afternoon.

4765
03:08:40,224 --> 03:08:40,925
All right.

4766
03:08:40,925 --> 03:08:42,861
Thank you for the work and

4767
03:08:42,861 --> 03:08:43,528
the presentation.

4768
03:08:43,528 --> 03:08:45,928
Deputy Clerk Please proceed

4769
03:08:48,650 --> 03:08:48,466
with public comment.

4770
03:08:48,466 --> 03:08:48,967
Thank you.

4771
03:08:48,967 --> 03:08:50,735
Council PRESIDENT.

4772
03:08:50,735 --> 03:08:51,202
We will begin with in-person

4773
03:08:51,202 --> 03:08:53,202
public comment.

4774
03:08:56,907 --> 03:08:57,242
Max Schmitt please come

4775
03:08:57,242 --> 03:08:59,100
forward.

4776
03:08:59,100 --> 03:09:02,100
You'll have two minutes to

4777
03:09:08,319 --> 03:09:08,622
speak.

4778
03:09:08,622 --> 03:09:09,554
Hi.

4779
03:09:09,554 --> 03:09:13,154
I just wanted to say that

4780
03:09:13,424 --> 03:09:15,824
increasing the fees increase

4781
03:09:17,329 --> 03:09:18,290
for the monthly fees that

4782
03:09:18,290 --> 03:09:21,290
homeowners pay for their trash

4783
03:09:22,734 --> 03:09:23,235
and recycling services to me

4784
03:09:23,235 --> 03:09:25,235
seems unnecessary.

4785
03:09:27,500 --> 03:09:27,772
I believe that homeowners

4786
03:09:27,772 --> 03:09:31,372
should not have to pay such

4787
03:09:31,575 --> 03:09:31,943
high fees for trash and

4788
03:09:31,943 --> 03:09:33,943
recycling.

4789
03:09:36,381 --> 03:09:37,810
I believe that if

4790
03:09:37,810 --> 03:09:37,815
the government was cut out of

4791
03:09:37,815 --> 03:09:40,815
the situation and the homeowner

4792
03:09:41,286 --> 03:09:44,286
could pay the trash or

4793
03:09:46,291 --> 03:09:46,792
recycling company directly, it

4794
03:09:46,792 --> 03:09:48,792
could be cheaper.

4795
03:09:50,562 --> 03:09:51,429
And I think that property taxes

4796
03:09:51,429 --> 03:09:55,290
could go down and I think

4797
03:09:55,567 --> 03:09:59,167
property taxes are too high for

4798
03:10:00,105 --> 03:10:00,805
people And I do not support

4799
03:10:00,805 --> 03:10:04,405
giving the city of San Diego

4800
03:10:05,411 --> 03:10:06,277
any more money.

4801
03:10:06,277 --> 03:10:06,612
And it has to do with many

4802
03:10:06,612 --> 03:10:08,612
reasons.

4803
03:10:10,348 --> 03:10:13,348
And one is because of

4804
03:10:15,190 --> 03:10:15,754
the underground hidden Catholic

4805
03:10:15,754 --> 03:10:16,221
genocide that needs that hasn't

4806
03:10:16,221 --> 03:10:18,221
been addressed.

4807
03:10:20,225 --> 03:10:21,260
And I just also wanted to say

4808
03:10:21,260 --> 03:10:24,796
that there's a one of the sides

4809
03:10:24,796 --> 03:10:28,396
and raised fees says that are

4810
03:10:28,767 --> 03:10:29,468
recycled containers are going

4811
03:10:29,468 --> 03:10:30,202
to be repurposed into other

4812
03:10:30,202 --> 03:10:33,202
plastic products and they tried

4813
03:10:33,939 --> 03:10:34,239
to make it an environmental

4814
03:10:34,239 --> 03:10:35,730
issue.

4815
03:10:35,730 --> 03:10:35,780
And I just wanted to say there

4816
03:10:35,780 --> 03:10:38,576
seems to be a connection and

4817
03:10:38,576 --> 03:10:39,278
random tax increases and trying

4818
03:10:39,278 --> 03:10:39,978
to help the environment where

4819
03:10:39,978 --> 03:10:43,578
it seems like an age old

4820
03:10:44,149 --> 03:10:44,783
liberal strategy straight out

4821
03:10:44,783 --> 03:10:45,417
of the liberal playbook to

4822
03:10:45,417 --> 03:10:48,417
throw in some slides about

4823
03:10:48,954 --> 03:10:49,654
the environment when they

4824
03:10:49,654 --> 03:10:50,388
increase, when they try to

4825
03:10:50,388 --> 03:10:53,625
increase taxes I'm going to say

4826
03:10:53,625 --> 03:10:54,592
this tax increase on property

4827
03:10:54,592 --> 03:10:55,193
is a big deal and that I don't

4828
03:10:55,193 --> 03:10:58,193
want the I don't think

4829
03:10:59,640 --> 03:10:59,764
the climate should be used as a

4830
03:10:59,764 --> 03:11:00,699
scapegoat to tax people more.

4831
03:11:00,699 --> 03:11:04,369
And I will honestly say that I

4832
03:11:04,369 --> 03:11:07,369
believe that Satan MAY be

4833
03:11:09,740 --> 03:11:09,774
telling liberals to exaggerate

4834
03:11:09,774 --> 03:11:10,175
the climate to try to tax

4835
03:11:10,175 --> 03:11:10,609
people more.

4836
03:11:10,609 --> 03:11:11,309
>> Thank you.

4837
03:11:11,309 --> 03:11:14,309
That does conclude your time.

4838
03:11:20,785 --> 03:11:21,586
Allegedly Audra definitely will

4839
03:11:21,586 --> 03:11:25,186
use the climate to tax people

4840
03:11:25,624 --> 03:11:26,425
more.

4841
03:11:26,425 --> 03:11:29,425
This is interesting Why does

4842
03:11:29,728 --> 03:11:30,229
the negative balance get

4843
03:11:30,229 --> 03:11:30,796
smaller to 2029?

4844
03:11:30,796 --> 03:11:31,664
>> That's interesting.

4845
03:11:31,664 --> 03:11:34,433
I don't know if I'm reading it

4846
03:11:34,433 --> 03:11:37,433
right and then saying there

4847
03:11:39,338 --> 03:11:39,638
will be reductions through that

4848
03:11:39,638 --> 03:11:40,406
year.

4849
03:11:40,406 --> 03:11:41,140
I mean really because I feel

4850
03:11:41,140 --> 03:11:43,975
like you guys are going to come

4851
03:11:43,975 --> 03:11:44,643
back to us for more money at

4852
03:11:44,643 --> 03:11:45,177
some point because it's not

4853
03:11:45,177 --> 03:11:45,844
going to be enough.

4854
03:11:45,844 --> 03:11:48,844
And again, you talk about

4855
03:11:49,149 --> 03:11:49,815
people receiving trash cans.

4856
03:11:49,815 --> 03:11:50,316
No, they're paying for them.

4857
03:11:50,316 --> 03:11:52,316
Let's be real.

4858
03:11:54,253 --> 03:11:54,987
They're forced to pay for those

4859
03:11:54,987 --> 03:11:55,721
even if they don't need them.

4860
03:11:55,721 --> 03:11:59,225
And the fact that you're saying

4861
03:11:59,225 --> 03:11:59,858
you're going to recycle them I

4862
03:11:59,858 --> 03:12:00,559
mean we'll see about that.

4863
03:12:00,559 --> 03:12:03,559
I'm sure that's another racket

4864
03:12:04,630 --> 03:12:04,696
that's going to be you know,

4865
03:12:04,696 --> 03:12:05,531
engaged in because I mean

4866
03:12:05,531 --> 03:12:08,467
anything you can make money off

4867
03:12:08,467 --> 03:12:08,767
of people are like jumping on

4868
03:12:08,767 --> 03:12:09,568
that.

4869
03:12:09,568 --> 03:12:13,338
So I guess I was a little

4870
03:12:13,338 --> 03:12:13,772
confused as well about Prop 218

4871
03:12:13,772 --> 03:12:14,473
unfortunately.

4872
03:12:14,473 --> 03:12:18,673
I guess it's like you guys can

4873
03:12:18,677 --> 03:12:19,545
sit here and raise the fee as

4874
03:12:19,545 --> 03:12:20,212
much as you want and as long as

4875
03:12:20,212 --> 03:12:23,212
nobody's here to protest it

4876
03:12:23,815 --> 03:12:24,516
doesn't matter Or so it's like

4877
03:12:24,516 --> 03:12:28,900
oh so many loopholes that you

4878
03:12:28,900 --> 03:12:31,900
know, get taken advantage of

4879
03:12:32,525 --> 03:12:33,226
when people are you know,

4880
03:12:33,226 --> 03:12:33,926
having to pay more money And

4881
03:12:33,926 --> 03:12:37,129
these rfid chips I mean come

4882
03:12:37,129 --> 03:12:37,597
on, You're like we're

4883
03:12:37,597 --> 03:12:38,230
collecting debt.

4884
03:12:38,230 --> 03:12:41,830
I mean the amount of data

4885
03:12:42,535 --> 03:12:43,268
that's collected on people is

4886
03:12:43,268 --> 03:12:44,300
just so insane, especially when

4887
03:12:44,300 --> 03:12:47,300
these data centers like they're

4888
03:12:47,807 --> 03:12:48,207
going to be taking all our

4889
03:12:48,207 --> 03:12:48,707
fresh water.

4890
03:12:48,707 --> 03:12:49,441
How cool is that?

4891
03:12:49,441 --> 03:12:52,479
I mean are you guys excited for

4892
03:12:52,479 --> 03:12:53,178
us to like figure out how ice

4893
03:12:53,178 --> 03:12:53,579
is going to provide us with

4894
03:12:53,579 --> 03:12:55,579
more water?

4895
03:12:56,782 --> 03:12:57,650
Probably that'll be neat.

4896
03:12:57,650 --> 03:13:01,521
But yeah, I just this is very

4897
03:13:01,521 --> 03:13:02,187
sad because people should have

4898
03:13:02,187 --> 03:13:05,787
the ability to say what they

4899
03:13:06,725 --> 03:13:07,426
want as far as the tax goes and

4900
03:13:07,426 --> 03:13:08,260
yet here we are again You're

4901
03:13:08,260 --> 03:13:08,728
not going to have enough

4902
03:13:08,728 --> 03:13:12,328
protests And so this is going

4903
03:13:12,431 --> 03:13:13,199
to move forward And I'd like to

4904
03:13:13,199 --> 03:13:13,866
know I mean what are you doing

4905
03:13:13,866 --> 03:13:16,866
Because this was the million

4906
03:13:17,102 --> 03:13:17,570
dollar lawsuit that made you

4907
03:13:17,570 --> 03:13:18,271
reduce the fee.

4908
03:13:18,271 --> 03:13:19,380
Are you going to give people a

4909
03:13:19,380 --> 03:13:22,274
credit for what they paid in

4910
03:13:22,274 --> 03:13:22,609
the interim of, you know, your

4911
03:13:22,609 --> 03:13:23,420
mistake?

4912
03:13:23,420 --> 03:13:23,743
>> Thank you.

4913
03:13:23,743 --> 03:13:26,743
That does conclude your time.

4914
03:13:27,513 --> 03:13:28,147
I have that That concludes

4915
03:13:28,147 --> 03:13:28,848
in-person public comment.

4916
03:13:28,848 --> 03:13:32,252
I have started the five minute

4917
03:13:32,252 --> 03:13:33,152
timer in the committee room.

4918
03:13:33,152 --> 03:13:35,855
We will now turn to the virtual

4919
03:13:35,855 --> 03:13:36,522
queue in which there are

4920
03:13:36,522 --> 03:13:37,560
currently three participants

4921
03:13:37,560 --> 03:13:39,560
requesting to speak.

4922
03:13:39,580 --> 03:13:42,580
We will begin with Hector.

4923
03:13:44,396 --> 03:13:44,898
Please begin.

4924
03:13:44,898 --> 03:13:45,565
Thanks guys.

4925
03:13:45,565 --> 03:13:48,565
Yeah this is a different

4926
03:13:49,269 --> 03:13:49,969
another example of a city not

4927
03:13:49,969 --> 03:13:52,969
knowing what's going on where

4928
03:13:53,673 --> 03:13:54,306
there was 2500 people getting

4929
03:13:54,306 --> 03:13:57,306
their trash picked up that

4930
03:13:58,377 --> 03:13:59,145
shouldn't have got it done.

4931
03:13:59,145 --> 03:13:59,846
So they just found that out

4932
03:13:59,846 --> 03:14:02,246
when they started doing

4933
03:14:03,717 --> 03:14:04,417
the cans taken up some guy's

4934
03:14:04,417 --> 03:14:07,220
apartment that should have had

4935
03:14:07,220 --> 03:14:07,987
a commercial guy doing it.

4936
03:14:07,987 --> 03:14:08,455
So this is probably not

4937
03:14:08,455 --> 03:14:09,550
the only thing.

4938
03:14:09,550 --> 03:14:11,455
There's other places in

4939
03:14:12,592 --> 03:14:13,259
the city where they're giving

4940
03:14:13,259 --> 03:14:16,259
out free services or they're

4941
03:14:17,697 --> 03:14:18,398
giving out special deals to

4942
03:14:18,398 --> 03:14:18,664
people that no one knows about

4943
03:14:18,664 --> 03:14:20,664
yet.

4944
03:14:22,680 --> 03:14:22,769
But this is another example.

4945
03:14:22,769 --> 03:14:26,369
And then to set the record

4946
03:14:26,806 --> 03:14:27,473
straight to build trust in

4947
03:14:27,473 --> 03:14:28,174
the community, why don't you

4948
03:14:28,174 --> 03:14:31,774
pull all the parking meters of

4949
03:14:32,245 --> 03:14:32,979
Balboa Park now so we can have

4950
03:14:32,979 --> 03:14:36,579
free parking over the summer to

4951
03:14:36,816 --> 03:14:37,584
go visit Balboa Park and stuff

4952
03:14:37,584 --> 03:14:41,654
That would be like show us a

4953
03:14:41,654 --> 03:14:42,880
good sign of building trust in

4954
03:14:42,880 --> 03:14:44,880
the community.

4955
03:14:46,326 --> 03:14:46,960
Just just apologize to

4956
03:14:46,960 --> 03:14:49,360
everybody for putting them

4957
03:14:50,797 --> 03:14:51,664
through And you want to start

4958
03:14:51,664 --> 03:14:55,864
you want to turn over a new

4959
03:14:55,902 --> 03:14:56,670
leaf and go for it and then

4960
03:14:56,670 --> 03:14:57,237
let's see there was one other

4961
03:14:57,237 --> 03:14:58,105
thing I wanted to do.

4962
03:14:58,105 --> 03:15:01,105
Yeah, you're going to charge

4963
03:15:01,608 --> 03:15:05,808
them for the Oh yeah, the solid

4964
03:15:07,800 --> 03:15:07,948
waste we got to get a solid

4965
03:15:07,948 --> 03:15:10,884
waste factory down the t on a

4966
03:15:10,884 --> 03:15:14,484
river and do some waste removal

4967
03:15:15,956 --> 03:15:16,556
down there and I think that

4968
03:15:16,556 --> 03:15:17,190
the city should focus on

4969
03:15:17,190 --> 03:15:20,190
the t12 river sewer plant

4970
03:15:20,961 --> 03:15:21,728
upgrades big time upgrade down

4971
03:15:21,728 --> 03:15:25,328
there with solar use some of

4972
03:15:26,333 --> 03:15:27,134
that recycle old stuff down

4973
03:15:27,134 --> 03:15:30,134
there that that absorb all

4974
03:15:31,805 --> 03:15:32,472
the sewer gas and everything

4975
03:15:32,472 --> 03:15:33,139
Anyway it's going to be it's

4976
03:15:33,139 --> 03:15:36,410
going to be a good summer.

4977
03:15:36,410 --> 03:15:37,143
It's going to be hot and that

4978
03:15:37,143 --> 03:15:40,143
stuff's going to smell terrible

4979
03:15:40,981 --> 03:15:41,748
for the kids.

4980
03:15:41,748 --> 03:15:42,249
So that's that's should be our

4981
03:15:42,249 --> 03:15:42,549
number one focus.

4982
03:15:42,549 --> 03:15:44,549
Okay.

4983
03:15:45,952 --> 03:15:46,320
Thank you.

4984
03:15:46,320 --> 03:15:47,287
Thank you.

4985
03:15:47,287 --> 03:15:50,887
We'll go to our next speaker

03:16:19,986 --> 03:16:20,854
you've been rolling out.

4997
03:16:20,854 --> 03:16:23,854

everybody for improved

5003
03:16:36,803 --> 03:16:40,403
alignment with Measure b in a

5004
03:16:41,608 --> 03:16:42,275
question for you esd would you

5005
03:16:42,275 --> 03:16:44,675
and Director Kirby Brady

5006
03:16:47,214 --> 03:16:49,614
discuss adding qualitative data

5007
03:16:51,819 --> 03:16:52,586
to the metrics that would be

5008
03:16:52,586 --> 03:16:53,153
really super for you to explore

5009
03:16:53,153 --> 03:16:55,153
that innovative idea?

5010
03:16:57,224 --> 03:16:57,992
It's not really innovative.

5011
03:16:57,992 --> 03:16:58,726
It's being used throughout a

5012
03:16:58,726 --> 03:17:02,326
lot of other different areas in

5013
03:17:02,863 --> 03:17:03,163
government, in business and so

5014
03:17:03,163 --> 03:17:03,931
forth.

5015
03:17:03,931 --> 03:17:08,131
So let's see what is this We

5016
03:17:08,369 --> 03:17:09,690
can always improve customer

5017
03:17:09,690 --> 03:17:09,670
relations right and community

5018
03:17:09,670 --> 03:17:11,670
outreach and engagement.

5019
03:17:13,440 --> 03:17:14,108
So any efforts that you can

5020
03:17:14,108 --> 03:17:14,842
approve to make those better

5021
03:17:14,842 --> 03:17:17,842
would be absolutely super duper

5022
03:17:19,613 --> 03:17:20,314
love the customer donations.

5023
03:17:20,314 --> 03:17:22,714
>> Thank you Customers Whoever

5024
03:17:23,984 --> 03:17:24,719
you are you get five stars.

5025
03:17:24,719 --> 03:17:27,719
I think it's up to $67,000.

5026
03:17:29,423 --> 03:17:34,223
So thank you and thank you sd g

5027
03:17:34,695 --> 03:17:35,429
and e, I mean I don't get it

5028
03:17:35,429 --> 03:17:36,130
but if there's an opportunity

5029
03:17:36,130 --> 03:17:39,730
to thank them for caring about

5030
03:17:40,660 --> 03:17:40,834
the community, let's do it.

5031
03:17:40,834 --> 03:17:44,434
So their care program I guess

5032
03:17:45,940 --> 03:17:46,674
can be added to our quote They

5033
03:17:46,674 --> 03:17:47,375
can qualify if they qualify for

5034
03:17:47,375 --> 03:17:47,842
our programs that program can

5035
03:17:47,842 --> 03:17:50,242
be added to it.

5036
03:17:51,980 --> 03:17:52,847
So I feel really, really good

5037
03:17:52,847 --> 03:17:53,747
and I want to be sure and thank

5038
03:17:53,747 --> 03:17:57,347
them for any little steps big

5039
03:17:57,785 --> 03:17:58,652
steps.

5040
03:17:58,652 --> 03:17:59,253
We want some big steps if any.

5041
03:17:59,253 --> 03:18:02,253
But thank you for that.

5042
03:18:03,224 --> 03:18:03,825
And again this is a great item

5043
03:18:03,825 --> 03:18:06,225
We've made great project

5044
03:18:08,162 --> 03:18:08,562
progress lessons learned all

5045
03:18:08,562 --> 03:18:09,230
thank you.

5046
03:18:09,230 --> 03:18:12,230
Our next speaker is Toni.

5047
03:18:19,673 --> 03:18:20,374
Please begin your comments.

5048
03:18:20,374 --> 03:18:23,374
Toni please please unmute and

5049
03:18:25,513 --> 03:18:26,180
begin your comments.

5050
03:18:26,180 --> 03:18:26,848
>> Can you hear me?

5051
03:18:26,848 --> 03:18:27,347
Yes we can hear you.

5052
03:18:27,347 --> 03:18:29,347
Please begin.

5053
03:18:31,285 --> 03:18:32,153
Thank you.

5054
03:18:32,153 --> 03:18:32,487
Hey I am in support of this

5055
03:18:32,487 --> 03:18:34,487
measure.

5056
03:18:37,424 --> 03:18:38,292
I think that it's necessary.

5057
03:18:38,292 --> 03:18:38,860
I think we need to have some

5058
03:18:38,860 --> 03:18:41,260
type of crash service.

5059
03:18:42,530 --> 03:18:43,197
I would love to see putting in

5060
03:18:43,197 --> 03:18:43,798
more of an effort to create

5061
03:18:43,798 --> 03:18:44,665
some some conversations.

5062
03:18:44,665 --> 03:18:48,865
I know that we do have like

5063
03:18:49,360 --> 03:18:49,771
green compost at some areas

5064
03:18:49,771 --> 03:18:50,104
like the Mira mesa landfill for

5065
03:18:50,104 --> 03:18:50,871
example.

5066
03:18:50,871 --> 03:18:54,108
But I know that we don't have

5067
03:18:54,108 --> 03:18:54,742
any actual compost landfills

5068
03:18:54,742 --> 03:18:57,742
that are designed for like

5069
03:19:00,547 --> 03:19:01,248
biodegradable plates and cups

5070
03:19:01,248 --> 03:19:01,549
and utensils and things like

5071
03:19:01,549 --> 03:19:02,217
that.

5072
03:19:02,217 --> 03:19:05,817
Or please correct me if I'm

5073
03:19:06,870 --> 03:19:06,787
wrong whenever y'all respond to

5074
03:19:06,787 --> 03:19:07,489
these comments, please please

5075
03:19:07,489 --> 03:19:08,222
let me know if there is a

5076
03:19:08,222 --> 03:19:11,222
compostable site because as far

5077
03:19:11,392 --> 03:19:12,930
as I know like when you pick up

5078
03:19:12,930 --> 03:19:12,794
compostable plates or utensils

5079
03:19:12,794 --> 03:19:15,794
or whatever even napkins they

5080
03:19:17,499 --> 03:19:18,199
all say on the packaging itself

5081
03:19:18,199 --> 03:19:18,900
they say only it's only

5082
03:19:18,900 --> 03:19:21,300
disposable or only compostable

5083
03:19:23,571 --> 03:19:23,972
within compostable landfill

5084
03:19:23,972 --> 03:19:24,839
facilities.

5085
03:19:24,839 --> 03:19:29,577
I have not I don't know of any

5086
03:19:29,577 --> 03:19:30,345
that exist here in San Diego

5087
03:19:30,345 --> 03:19:31,110
and that would be a huge

5088
03:19:31,110 --> 03:19:31,712
incentive for people within

5089
03:19:31,712 --> 03:19:34,112
the sustainable community and

5090
03:19:35,983 --> 03:19:36,851
for waste at large.

5091
03:19:36,851 --> 03:19:37,519
If we can if we can eliminate

5092
03:19:37,519 --> 03:19:40,519
the mass amount of plastics

5093
03:19:42,570 --> 03:19:42,857
that we're using, we would be

5094
03:19:42,857 --> 03:19:43,558
so much better off if we could

5095
03:19:43,558 --> 03:19:46,558
create some type of ordinances

5096
03:19:47,696 --> 03:19:50,960
requiring packaging on foods

5097
03:19:52,968 --> 03:19:53,667
and on goods to use alternative

5098
03:19:53,667 --> 03:19:54,336
packaging because I mean we've

5099
03:19:54,336 --> 03:19:57,336
been beholden to the DuPont

5100
03:19:59,174 --> 03:19:59,841
monopoly on plastics for far

5101
03:19:59,841 --> 03:20:03,441
too long and there's way too

5102
03:20:04,379 --> 03:20:05,460
many alternatives that exist

5103
03:20:05,460 --> 03:20:07,446
for packaging including like

5104
03:20:10,919 --> 03:20:11,245
amp which has been declassified

5105
03:20:11,245 --> 03:20:11,787
.

5106
03:20:11,787 --> 03:20:12,253
It's now available for

5107
03:20:12,253 --> 03:20:14,253
commercial use.

5108
03:20:17,559 --> 03:20:18,427
It's now not scheduled as like

5109
03:20:18,427 --> 03:20:22,270
a narcotic as it previously was

5110
03:20:22,230 --> 03:20:26,340
as of 2019 the end of the first

5111
03:20:26,340 --> 03:20:26,734
Trump administration was one of

5112
03:20:26,734 --> 03:20:27,436
the things we did idly on his

5113
03:20:27,436 --> 03:20:30,436
way out legalizing hemp which

5114
03:20:32,306 --> 03:20:32,707
was super cool and really

5115
03:20:32,707 --> 03:20:33,408
unexpected.

5116
03:20:33,408 --> 03:20:33,775
>> Thank you Anyway, conclude

5117
03:20:33,775 --> 03:20:34,142
your time.

5118
03:20:34,142 --> 03:20:36,142
Thank you.

5119
03:20:38,680 --> 03:20:39,247
That concludes the public

5120
03:20:39,247 --> 03:20:39,614
testimony on item 330.

5121
03:20:39,614 --> 03:20:40,215
All right.

5122
03:20:40,215 --> 03:20:42,615
Thank you, Deputy Clerk.

5123
03:20:44,186 --> 03:20:44,853
A reminder this is an

5124
03:20:44,853 --> 03:20:45,554
information item No motions

5125
03:20:45,554 --> 03:20:46,288
required but I'll turn it over

5126
03:20:46,288 --> 03:20:49,288
to council member for questions

5127
03:20:49,758 --> 03:20:50,392
and comments and we'll start

5128
03:20:50,392 --> 03:20:51,590
with Councilmember Rivera.

5129
03:20:51,590 --> 03:20:51,727
Thank you, Health PRESIDENT.

5130
03:20:51,727 --> 03:20:54,127
Thanks for the presentation,

5131
03:20:55,731 --> 03:20:59,331
Jeremy and for all the work

5132
03:21:00,902 --> 03:21:01,502
that led up to this.

5133
03:21:01,502 --> 03:21:02,604
A couple of questions.

5134
03:21:02,604 --> 03:21:07,404
One and this is for you and or

5135
03:21:07,810 --> 03:21:08,410
Jordan the fund balance that

5136
03:21:08,410 --> 03:21:10,810
was was shown there.

5137
03:21:13,582 --> 03:21:17,182
What are the effects of that?

5138
03:21:19,488 --> 03:21:20,155
>> So when we think of

5139
03:21:20,155 --> 03:21:20,856
the question council member

5140
03:21:20,856 --> 03:21:21,457
when we crossed the threshold

5141
03:21:21,457 --> 03:21:22,124
of a fiscal year with a

5142
03:21:22,124 --> 03:21:25,124
negative balance we do have

5143
03:21:25,794 --> 03:21:26,595
the ability to pay that

5144
03:21:26,595 --> 03:21:30,195
enterprise fund a one day loan

5145
03:21:31,666 --> 03:21:32,368
to cross the threshold at a non

5146
03:21:32,368 --> 03:21:33,670
zero and then the first day of

5147
03:21:33,670 --> 03:21:33,368
the next fiscal year to pay it

5148
03:21:33,368 --> 03:21:35,368
back.

5149
03:21:38,273 --> 03:21:38,974
So there's an ability to cross

5150
03:21:38,974 --> 03:21:41,974
the fiscal year with negative

5151
03:21:43,745 --> 03:21:44,446
ultimately as we adopted

5152
03:21:44,446 --> 03:21:45,114
the fee last year the goal was

5153
03:21:45,114 --> 03:21:48,714
to build up a reserve fund.

5154
03:21:50,486 --> 03:21:51,185
We are postponing that at this

5155
03:21:51,185 --> 03:21:51,720
time but long term that is

5156
03:21:51,720 --> 03:21:52,388
something we can do.

5157
03:21:52,388 --> 03:21:53,880
Does it Ultimately we would

5158
03:21:53,880 --> 03:21:56,124
want to be in a position with

5159
03:21:56,124 --> 03:21:56,959
with a positive balance.

5160
03:21:56,959 --> 03:21:57,259
I turned over to Jordan to get

5161
03:21:57,259 --> 03:21:59,259
more.

5162
03:22:01,797 --> 03:22:02,466
Yeah, I mean it mostly did It

5163
03:22:02,466 --> 03:22:03,198
mostly starts to be a big

5164
03:22:03,198 --> 03:22:03,832
budgeting problem If you have a

5165
03:22:03,832 --> 03:22:07,269
lot of on balances with a

5166
03:22:07,269 --> 03:22:07,869
negative fund balance which is

5167
03:22:07,869 --> 03:22:08,604
why we typically try to

5168
03:22:08,604 --> 03:22:09,137
highlight these things if we're

5169
03:22:09,137 --> 03:22:11,537
seeing many of them.

5170
03:22:13,609 --> 03:22:14,342
Jeremy is correct as far as esd

5171
03:22:14,342 --> 03:22:14,977
goes because he is he also runs

5172
03:22:14,977 --> 03:22:15,277
two other large enterprise

5173
03:22:15,277 --> 03:22:17,277
funds.

5174
03:22:18,814 --> 03:22:19,515
They currently are projected to

5175
03:22:19,515 --> 03:22:20,182
have positive cash balances So

5176
03:22:20,182 --> 03:22:23,782
within esd you will be fine.

5177
03:22:24,820 --> 03:22:25,187
But again it's not a good

5178
03:22:25,187 --> 03:22:25,854
practice.

5179
03:22:25,854 --> 03:22:26,522
The original cost of service

5180
03:22:26,522 --> 03:22:29,522
did anticipate building up a

5181
03:22:32,127 --> 03:22:32,728
reserve over a number of years

5182
03:22:32,728 --> 03:22:33,396
in order to adjust to

5183
03:22:33,396 --> 03:22:34,950
fluctuations that MAY or MAY

5184
03:22:34,950 --> 03:22:34,564
not happen in between cost of

5185
03:22:34,564 --> 03:22:36,564
service studies.

5186
03:22:37,466 --> 03:22:38,660
But at this point right now

5187
03:22:38,660 --> 03:22:38,701
given where we are with

5188
03:22:38,701 --> 03:22:39,435
the fees, the settlements,

5189
03:22:39,435 --> 03:22:43,350
etc., the best course of action

5190
03:22:43,138 --> 03:22:43,806
at this point is just to manage

5191
03:22:43,806 --> 03:22:44,373
the fund where it is because

5192
03:22:44,373 --> 03:22:46,773
otherwise you would be

5193
03:22:49,440 --> 03:22:49,712
requiring the general fund to

5194
03:22:49,712 --> 03:22:50,446
be spending more money into

5195
03:22:50,446 --> 03:22:51,800
the fund in order to try to get

5196
03:22:51,800 --> 03:22:54,800
out of that negative fund

5197
03:22:54,817 --> 03:22:55,351
balance quicker than what's

5198
03:22:55,351 --> 03:22:55,651
currently projected.

5199
03:22:55,651 --> 03:22:57,651
Right.

5200
03:23:00,989 --> 03:23:01,659
Okay.

5201
03:23:01,659 --> 03:23:02,525
And I'll note too.

5202
03:23:02,525 --> 03:23:06,125
So originally the plan was for

5203
03:23:07,129 --> 03:23:07,830
the fund to Jeremy correct me

5204
03:23:07,830 --> 03:23:08,630
if I'm wrong it would have

5205
03:23:08,630 --> 03:23:11,630
gotten out of negative balance

5206
03:23:12,869 --> 03:23:13,202
around what your 2 or 3?

5207
03:23:13,202 --> 03:23:13,502
Correct.

5208
03:23:13,502 --> 03:23:14,137
Yeah.

5209
03:23:14,137 --> 03:23:14,570
So there was a plan to get

5210
03:23:14,570 --> 03:23:15,303
there for it.

5211
03:23:15,303 --> 03:23:17,506
This might have just been

5212
03:23:17,506 --> 03:23:19,506
changed.

5213
03:23:23,450 --> 03:23:25,450
Okay.

5214
03:23:29,719 --> 03:23:30,586
Will it be a problem?

5215
03:23:30,586 --> 03:23:31,320
It would it would be a bigger

5216
03:23:31,320 --> 03:23:31,854
problem if the fund balance was

5217
03:23:31,854 --> 03:23:34,254
going the other way.

5218
03:23:34,891 --> 03:23:35,558
So one of the reasons why

5219
03:23:35,558 --> 03:23:36,224
you're actually seeing that

5220
03:23:36,224 --> 03:23:39,824
going into a but it's going

5221
03:23:41,640 --> 03:23:41,797
smaller is because a lot of

5222
03:23:41,797 --> 03:23:42,398
that is the general fund paying

5223
03:23:42,398 --> 03:23:45,100
back for costs that were

5224
03:23:45,100 --> 03:23:45,701
incurred but not reimbursed in

5225
03:23:45,701 --> 03:23:46,335
the first year If it was

5226
03:23:46,335 --> 03:23:47,360
getting larger perpetually

5227
03:23:47,360 --> 03:23:50,636
larger that would be a problem

5228
03:23:51,608 --> 03:23:52,375
that you would see because then

5229
03:23:52,375 --> 03:23:53,750
you don't have a plan at which

5230
03:23:53,750 --> 03:23:56,980
you there would be no plan in

5231
03:23:56,980 --> 03:23:57,746
order to to bring it back in at

5232
03:23:57,746 --> 03:23:58,448
that point you would need to

5233
03:23:58,448 --> 03:23:59,147
start taking financial actions

5234
03:23:59,147 --> 03:24:02,747
to bring it back into positive

5235
03:24:03,486 --> 03:24:04,120
balance which would either

5236
03:24:04,120 --> 03:24:04,821
require more general fund

5237
03:24:04,821 --> 03:24:05,455
subsidies or higher fees and a

5238
03:24:05,455 --> 03:24:07,855
subsequent cost of service

5239
03:24:09,893 --> 03:24:10,259
study.

5240
03:24:10,259 --> 03:24:10,926
Thank you.

5241
03:24:10,926 --> 03:24:11,794
We've talked about this a

5242
03:24:11,794 --> 03:24:15,464
little bit but I want to make

5243
03:24:15,464 --> 03:24:15,832
sure I drill down just a little

5244
03:24:15,832 --> 03:24:17,832
bit more.

5245
03:24:21,703 --> 03:24:22,405
Some of services that are

5246
03:24:22,405 --> 03:24:25,405
provided or planned to be

5247
03:24:28,444 --> 03:24:28,911
provided are now that the plan

5248
03:24:28,911 --> 03:24:30,911
is scaled back.

5249
03:24:32,982 --> 03:24:33,749
Are there and there's

5250
03:24:33,749 --> 03:24:36,749
the services that residents can

5251
03:24:38,855 --> 03:24:39,522
receive and experience as a

5252
03:24:39,522 --> 03:24:40,223
result of those operations.

5253
03:24:40,223 --> 03:24:43,223
And then there's the diversion

5254
03:24:44,861 --> 03:24:45,562
from our landfill.

5255
03:24:45,562 --> 03:24:47,962
There's climate action goals

5256
03:24:50,900 --> 03:24:51,768
that we're pursuing.

5257
03:24:51,768 --> 03:24:55,968
Are there plans in place or is

5258
03:24:56,206 --> 03:24:58,606
there planning happening to

5259
03:25:02,979 --> 03:25:03,780
pursue those goals to reduce

5260
03:25:03,780 --> 03:25:04,447
what ends up in the landfill in

5261
03:25:04,447 --> 03:25:08,470
a different way than what we

5262
03:25:08,685 --> 03:25:09,860
we'd planned for?

5263
03:25:09,860 --> 03:25:09,785
>> Yes.

5264
03:25:09,785 --> 03:25:10,520
Councilmember one One example

5265
03:25:10,520 --> 03:25:14,120
is investment of some of our

5266
03:25:15,559 --> 03:25:16,159
recycling staff from our waste

5267
03:25:16,159 --> 03:25:18,559
reduction division to be

5268
03:25:21,131 --> 03:25:21,932
stopped at the landfill itself

5269
03:25:21,932 --> 03:25:22,799
at the gate that help identify

5270
03:25:22,799 --> 03:25:26,399
loads of waste that is heading

5271
03:25:27,404 --> 03:25:28,138
towards the face of

5272
03:25:28,138 --> 03:25:28,704
the landfill but to engage with

5273
03:25:28,704 --> 03:25:31,104
them to divert what's

5274
03:25:33,777 --> 03:25:34,611
recyclable from that load.

5275
03:25:34,611 --> 03:25:35,245
>> Additionally, as I mentioned

5276
03:25:35,245 --> 03:25:37,645
in my remarks, additional

5277
03:25:39,516 --> 03:25:40,183
outreach to help customers

5278
03:25:40,183 --> 03:25:43,183
understand that for a second

5279
03:25:45,210 --> 03:25:45,689
recycling container is more

5280
03:25:45,689 --> 03:25:46,356
affordable than it was last

5281
03:25:46,356 --> 03:25:46,657
year and make sure they know

5282
03:25:46,657 --> 03:25:48,657
that.

5283
03:25:50,594 --> 03:25:51,328
So if they need to order a

5284
03:25:51,328 --> 03:25:52,620
second recycling container they

5285
03:25:52,620 --> 03:25:52,362
can do so at a subsidized rate.

5286
03:25:52,362 --> 03:25:54,362
Okay.

5287
03:25:57,567 --> 03:25:58,267
I appreciate that And

5288
03:25:58,267 --> 03:25:59,200
the reason I keep asking what

5289
03:25:59,200 --> 03:25:59,703
this part is and we're going to

5290
03:25:59,703 --> 03:26:02,103
continue our conversations at

5291
03:26:02,772 --> 03:26:03,473
this environment committee and

5292
03:26:03,473 --> 03:26:06,473
hopefully at the full council

5293
03:26:08,712 --> 03:26:09,613
is the closure of the landfill

5294
03:26:09,613 --> 03:26:09,980
is it's not a small deal for

5295
03:26:09,980 --> 03:26:11,980
the city.

5296
03:26:13,483 --> 03:26:14,840
It's a really, really big one

5297
03:26:14,840 --> 03:26:14,984
on a variety of fronts.

5298
03:26:14,984 --> 03:26:19,589
And so I want to make sure that

5299
03:26:19,589 --> 03:26:20,590
we're doing everything we can

5300
03:26:20,590 --> 03:26:22,659
to push that out or at least

5301
03:26:22,659 --> 03:26:25,659
not accelerate cliff that we're

5302
03:26:29,366 --> 03:26:29,733
running toward.

5303
03:26:29,733 --> 03:26:31,733
Okay.

5304
03:26:35,500 --> 03:26:35,806
Is there anything that you are

5305
03:26:35,806 --> 03:26:39,406
not planning to do but you

5306
03:26:40,411 --> 03:26:44,611
would like to be able to do

5307
03:26:47,851 --> 03:26:48,585
that doesn't involve the weekly

5308
03:26:48,585 --> 03:26:49,119
recycling or something that was

5309
03:26:49,119 --> 03:26:49,753
already planned for?

5310
03:26:49,753 --> 03:26:50,353
I don't know if that makes

5311
03:26:50,353 --> 03:26:53,353
sense Or are there other

5312
03:26:53,357 --> 03:26:54,240
strategies or tactics that are

5313
03:26:54,240 --> 03:26:54,624
being considered as a way of

5314
03:26:54,624 --> 03:26:56,693
again either pushing out

5315
03:26:56,693 --> 03:26:57,594
the cliff or at least not

5316
03:26:57,594 --> 03:26:59,994
accelerating our approach to

5317
03:27:09,340 --> 03:27:10,107
the cliff?

5318
03:27:10,107 --> 03:27:13,107
The clean up division helps

5319
03:27:15,179 --> 03:27:15,779
with some of the community

5320
03:27:15,779 --> 03:27:16,479
cleanup events that is a

5321
03:27:16,479 --> 03:27:17,114
general fund funded division.

5322
03:27:17,114 --> 03:27:20,714
So to the extent that that

5323
03:27:21,152 --> 03:27:21,819
division had more funding

5324
03:27:21,819 --> 03:27:22,553
available they could be more

5325
03:27:22,553 --> 03:27:25,553
available to do those community

5326
03:27:26,857 --> 03:27:27,524
cleanups And when our staff are

5327
03:27:27,524 --> 03:27:28,259
directly involved in cleanup

5328
03:27:28,259 --> 03:27:28,959
events it's easier to divert to

5329
03:27:28,959 --> 03:27:30,959
separate segregate recyclable

5330
03:27:33,464 --> 03:27:34,164
materials versus materials that

5331
03:27:34,164 --> 03:27:34,498
are intended for the landfill

5332
03:27:34,498 --> 03:27:34,798
itself.

5333
03:27:34,798 --> 03:27:35,599
Yeah.

5334
03:27:35,599 --> 03:27:39,103
And just to kind of give it to

5335
03:27:39,103 --> 03:27:43,303
you if you can to reiterate to

5336
03:27:44,675 --> 03:27:45,375
all of us from a financial

5337
03:27:45,375 --> 03:27:48,375
perspective the impacts of are

5338
03:27:50,247 --> 03:27:50,948
closing sooner rather than

5339
03:27:50,948 --> 03:27:51,315
later or being able to push

5340
03:27:51,315 --> 03:27:52,182
that out.

5341
03:27:52,182 --> 03:27:55,782
>> I mean it's hard to quantify

5342
03:27:57,355 --> 03:27:58,122
at this point But I will tell

5343
03:27:58,122 --> 03:27:58,722
you as is so Miramar as it

5344
03:27:58,722 --> 03:28:01,122
stands right now is

5345
03:28:02,960 --> 03:28:03,694
the cheapest place to deposit

5346
03:28:03,694 --> 03:28:04,227
solid waste and go to recycling

5347
03:28:04,227 --> 03:28:04,828
to do those things.

5348
03:28:04,828 --> 03:28:07,828
And the reason why it's

5349
03:28:08,632 --> 03:28:09,166
the cheapest is because it's

5350
03:28:09,166 --> 03:28:09,466
managed by the city.

5351
03:28:09,466 --> 03:28:10,267
Right.

5352
03:28:10,267 --> 03:28:10,968
So this would be similar to you

5353
03:28:10,968 --> 03:28:14,739
know, if the city was able to

5354
03:28:14,739 --> 03:28:15,473
manage its water to a

5355
03:28:15,473 --> 03:28:16,173
wholesaler as opposed to having

5356
03:28:16,173 --> 03:28:16,773
a different entity charge you

5357
03:28:16,773 --> 03:28:19,173
to do different things.

5358
03:28:21,110 --> 03:28:21,712
So to that end, if Miramar goes

5359
03:28:21,712 --> 03:28:22,446
away as being the place where

5360
03:28:22,446 --> 03:28:26,460
waste could go to be deposited

5361
03:28:26,884 --> 03:28:27,451
and the city does have to start

5362
03:28:27,451 --> 03:28:28,151
going to other private

5363
03:28:28,151 --> 03:28:31,151
landfills which I believe it's

5364
03:28:32,223 --> 03:28:32,957
only private landfills that are

5365
03:28:32,957 --> 03:28:33,624
remaining in the county At that

5366
03:28:33,624 --> 03:28:37,224
point you now have to pay

5367
03:28:37,962 --> 03:28:38,662
either their disposal fees

5368
03:28:38,662 --> 03:28:39,397
which will make the cost for

5369
03:28:39,397 --> 03:28:40,131
collection services go up which

5370
03:28:40,131 --> 03:28:43,131
will then require either higher

5371
03:28:43,701 --> 03:28:44,302
fees on homeowners or

5372
03:28:44,302 --> 03:28:44,635
additional general fund

5373
03:28:44,635 --> 03:28:45,336
dollars.

5374
03:28:45,336 --> 03:28:48,936
There's also the options to do

5375
03:28:50,575 --> 03:28:51,208
the transfer station But again

5376
03:28:51,208 --> 03:28:51,876
the transfer station just

5377
03:28:51,876 --> 03:28:52,443
because it's extra steps it

5378
03:28:52,443 --> 03:28:54,843
could be cheaper than

5379
03:28:56,146 --> 03:28:56,848
the landfills directly but it

5380
03:28:56,848 --> 03:28:57,548
still would not be the same as

5381
03:28:57,548 --> 03:28:58,249
just being able to utilize me

5382
03:28:58,249 --> 03:29:01,849
or mine the way it's currently

5383
03:29:02,987 --> 03:29:03,855
being utilized.

5384
03:29:03,855 --> 03:29:04,422
>> And then there's the tipping

5385
03:29:04,422 --> 03:29:07,422
fees that we want And

5386
03:29:08,960 --> 03:29:09,694
the tipping fee is what you for

5387
03:29:09,694 --> 03:29:10,395
collection services Even though

5388
03:29:10,395 --> 03:29:11,950
it's city of San Diego dumping

5389
03:29:11,950 --> 03:29:15,650
a city San Diego site pays to

5390
03:29:15,650 --> 03:29:15,767
dump at the Miramar land

5391
03:29:15,767 --> 03:29:16,434
tipping fees that we received

5392
03:29:16,434 --> 03:29:16,867
from from other entities as

5393
03:29:16,867 --> 03:29:18,867
well correct?

5394
03:29:20,104 --> 03:29:20,839
>> So yeah so those will come

5395
03:29:20,839 --> 03:29:21,439
up We'll have to figure out a

5396
03:29:21,439 --> 03:29:22,400
way to run the landfill.

5397
03:29:22,400 --> 03:29:24,440
One landfills run other

5398
03:29:26,310 --> 03:29:27,440
operations without receiving

5399
03:29:27,440 --> 03:29:27,745
tipping fees both from the city

5400
03:29:27,745 --> 03:29:28,346
of San Diego and from outside

5401
03:29:28,346 --> 03:29:29,800
entities as well because

5402
03:29:29,800 --> 03:29:32,584
they'll no longer be a landfill

5403
03:29:32,584 --> 03:29:33,418
to operate.

5404
03:29:33,418 --> 03:29:34,850
I appreciate this and I know

5405
03:29:34,850 --> 03:29:34,785
we've talked to this a bit.

5406
03:29:34,785 --> 03:29:38,385
I just I keep hammering this

5407
03:29:38,388 --> 03:29:39,230
part because I think there was

5408
03:29:39,230 --> 03:29:39,690
a perception that we could

5409
03:29:39,690 --> 03:29:43,290
recycling was a nice to have

5410
03:29:44,896 --> 03:29:45,497
and I suppose it was from a

5411
03:29:45,497 --> 03:29:46,197
perspective of it's not

5412
03:29:46,197 --> 03:29:49,197
something that the city needed

5413
03:29:51,202 --> 03:29:51,903
to do today necessarily and

5414
03:29:51,903 --> 03:29:52,604
it's not necessarily something

5415
03:29:52,604 --> 03:29:53,271
that residents all needed on a

5416
03:29:53,271 --> 03:29:56,871
weekly basis but it served a

5417
03:29:56,874 --> 03:29:57,575
greater purpose that has

5418
03:29:57,575 --> 03:29:59,575
significant environmental and

5419
03:30:02,413 --> 03:30:02,947
economic impacts for the city

5420
03:30:02,947 --> 03:30:03,715
over the long term.

5421
03:30:03,715 --> 03:30:07,315
And so as with everything that

5422
03:30:08,253 --> 03:30:09,540
we deal with, there are no easy

5423
03:30:09,540 --> 03:30:12,654
outs And you know, not doing

5424
03:30:14,893 --> 03:30:15,593
weekly recycling solves for one

5425
03:30:15,593 --> 03:30:16,294
problem and it creates others

5426
03:30:16,294 --> 03:30:16,995
as well And we just need to be

5427
03:30:16,995 --> 03:30:19,995
eyes wide open about that.

5428
03:30:21,320 --> 03:30:21,933
And I appreciate the creativity

5429
03:30:21,933 --> 03:30:26,538
of of esd on how we're going to

5430
03:30:26,538 --> 03:30:27,471
approach that.

5431
03:30:27,471 --> 03:30:27,905
I think it's going to require a

5432
03:30:27,905 --> 03:30:28,773
group effort.

5433
03:30:28,773 --> 03:30:32,677
I remember a few years ago I

5434
03:30:32,677 --> 03:30:33,411
asked the ways in which in my

5435
03:30:33,411 --> 03:30:37,110
mail services was kind of boxed

5436
03:30:38,517 --> 03:30:39,284
in by not being able to recover

5437
03:30:39,284 --> 03:30:39,985
cost And I actually got a

5438
03:30:39,985 --> 03:30:40,619
really interesting response to

5439
03:30:40,619 --> 03:30:43,619
that question which was in

5440
03:30:45,757 --> 03:30:46,458
certain ways requires the city

5441
03:30:46,458 --> 03:30:49,458
to be more creative because

5442
03:30:50,995 --> 03:30:51,596
there the ability to recover

5443
03:30:51,596 --> 03:30:52,331
costs just wasn't there.

5444
03:30:52,331 --> 03:30:52,898
And so it looks like you're

5445
03:30:52,898 --> 03:30:55,298
leaning back into that

5446
03:30:57,268 --> 03:30:57,736
creativity that we needed to

5447
03:30:57,736 --> 03:30:58,403
use in the past.

5448
03:30:58,403 --> 03:31:01,403
But the General General Fund

5449
03:31:06,912 --> 03:31:07,679
still has in a period

5450
03:31:07,679 --> 03:31:08,146
significant costs I think as a

5451
03:31:08,146 --> 03:31:08,881
result of this.

5452
03:31:08,881 --> 03:31:12,184
Last thing I want to say is

5453
03:31:12,184 --> 03:31:12,851
thank you again for

5454
03:31:12,851 --> 03:31:13,551
the outreach and the really

5455
03:31:13,551 --> 03:31:16,551
intentional effort there to to

5456
03:31:18,189 --> 03:31:18,990
make sure that folks know about

5457
03:31:18,990 --> 03:31:19,558
know about the rebate or

5458
03:31:19,558 --> 03:31:21,958
the refund programs or

5459
03:31:24,763 --> 03:31:25,530
the discount programs.

5460
03:31:25,530 --> 03:31:26,297
That was very important to us.

5461
03:31:26,297 --> 03:31:29,897
That was important to us before

5462
03:31:31,470 --> 03:31:32,171
we ever got to the program up

5463
03:31:32,171 --> 03:31:32,871
and running and will continue

5464
03:31:32,871 --> 03:31:33,438
to be important to me as well.

5465
03:31:33,438 --> 03:31:33,808
So thank you again for

5466
03:31:33,808 --> 03:31:35,808
the work.

5467
03:31:37,276 --> 03:31:37,776
Thank you for the time.

5468
03:31:37,776 --> 03:31:38,143
Council PRESIDENT.

5469
03:31:38,143 --> 03:31:38,744
All right.

5470
03:31:38,744 --> 03:31:39,111
Thank you, Councilmember

5471
03:31:39,111 --> 03:31:39,812
Talavera.

5472
03:31:39,812 --> 03:31:40,242
We'll go next to Councilmember

5473
03:31:40,242 --> 03:31:42,242
Moreno.

5474
03:31:42,380 --> 03:31:42,881
Thank you And thank you for

5475
03:31:42,881 --> 03:31:43,649
the presentation.

5476
03:31:43,649 --> 03:31:47,849
I want to start off by thinking

5477
03:31:48,186 --> 03:31:48,888
of the environmental Services

5478
03:31:48,888 --> 03:31:49,587
Department for the incredible

5479
03:31:49,587 --> 03:31:53,787
work you guys do day in, day

5480
03:31:54,960 --> 03:31:55,627
out This past MARCH I had

5481
03:31:55,627 --> 03:31:56,428
the pleasure of joining city

5482
03:31:56,428 --> 03:32:00,628
staff for a ride along during a

5483
03:32:01,660 --> 03:32:01,666
trash pickup day in District

5484
03:32:01,666 --> 03:32:05,866
eight and the A.T.M. At

5485
03:32:05,904 --> 03:32:06,238
the Miramar Landfill Operations

5486
03:32:06,238 --> 03:32:07,720
station.

5487
03:32:07,720 --> 03:32:10,720
Pretty impressive piece of work

5488
03:32:12,244 --> 03:32:12,678
that we have there in the city

5489
03:32:12,678 --> 03:32:13,245
of San Diego.

5490
03:32:13,245 --> 03:32:16,245
I think the yard has

5491
03:32:17,849 --> 03:32:18,517
the collection services,

5492
03:32:18,517 --> 03:32:19,850
the division, the container

5493
03:32:19,850 --> 03:32:21,850
management program and

5494
03:32:23,589 --> 03:32:24,890
the trash pickup for truck

5495
03:32:24,890 --> 03:32:24,857
maintenance crews.

5496
03:32:24,857 --> 03:32:27,857
We exited the operation station

5497
03:32:30,228 --> 03:32:30,963
and what really astounded me

5498
03:32:30,963 --> 03:32:34,563
was the hundreds of trucks that

5499
03:32:36,135 --> 03:32:36,902
are housed at the station just

5500
03:32:36,902 --> 03:32:37,602
and just how everybody left in

5501
03:32:37,602 --> 03:32:38,269
just it was almost like a

5502
03:32:38,269 --> 03:32:40,669
beautiful symphony of trash

5503
03:32:43,175 --> 03:32:43,809
trucks going out And I was able

5504
03:32:43,809 --> 03:32:47,409
to ride one of the trucks

5505
03:32:48,581 --> 03:32:49,115
driven by MR. Enrique Rojas,

5506
03:32:49,115 --> 03:32:49,882
also known as Kiki.

5507
03:32:49,882 --> 03:32:50,650
MR. Rojas has been a sanitation

5508
03:32:50,650 --> 03:32:54,250
worker for the city of San

5509
03:32:54,620 --> 03:32:55,387
Diego for almost 40 years and

5510
03:32:55,387 --> 03:32:59,587
he was kind enough to share his

5511
03:33:00,492 --> 03:33:01,193
experience with me as we drove

5512
03:33:01,193 --> 03:33:01,627
south to the southern part of

5513
03:33:01,627 --> 03:33:03,627
the district.

5514
03:33:05,731 --> 03:33:06,499
And one of the things that I

5515
03:33:06,499 --> 03:33:10,699
was just taken aback by is that

5516
03:33:11,804 --> 03:33:12,471
these folks are really

5517
03:33:12,471 --> 03:33:13,172
sometimes for a lot of

5518
03:33:13,172 --> 03:33:15,572
residents their number one

5519
03:33:16,675 --> 03:33:17,376
people rate the number one

5520
03:33:17,376 --> 03:33:20,376
person that they first connect

5521
03:33:21,981 --> 03:33:22,682
with in the city of San Diego.

5522
03:33:22,682 --> 03:33:23,416
The love and admiration from

5523
03:33:23,416 --> 03:33:27,160
the kids was also really quite

5524
03:33:29,870 --> 03:33:29,889
impressive And MR. Rojas just

5525
03:33:29,889 --> 03:33:34,890
really went out of his way to

5526
03:33:34,694 --> 03:33:35,128
accommodate every question,

5527
03:33:35,128 --> 03:33:35,962
every comment.

5528
03:33:35,962 --> 03:33:40,162
So just kudos to him and I'm

5529
03:33:41,701 --> 03:33:42,368
sure I was probably a thorn on

5530
03:33:42,368 --> 03:33:43,169
his back for the morning But

5531
03:33:43,169 --> 03:33:46,769
nonetheless it was it was quite

5532
03:33:47,240 --> 03:33:48,410
the experience.

5533
03:33:48,410 --> 03:33:51,641
We were in the community of

5534
03:33:53,680 --> 03:33:54,447
Nestor and unbeknownst to me we

5535
03:33:54,447 --> 03:33:55,114
were for a time we were being

5536
03:33:55,114 --> 03:33:57,514
followed by another vehicle

5537
03:33:59,485 --> 03:33:59,886
that was collecting the empty

5538
03:33:59,886 --> 03:34:00,553
containers.

5539
03:34:00,553 --> 03:34:04,153
So this allowed me to see

5540
03:34:04,991 --> 03:34:05,625
firsthand just

5541
03:34:05,625 --> 03:34:06,292
the complications of this

5542
03:34:06,292 --> 03:34:09,892
rollout of such a just a

5543
03:34:11,130 --> 03:34:11,864
massive scale But it was

5544
03:34:11,864 --> 03:34:12,532
impressive to see how you know,

5545
03:34:12,532 --> 03:34:13,199
obviously they work together

5546
03:34:13,199 --> 03:34:16,199
and and how complicated this

5547
03:34:16,668 --> 03:34:17,637
endeavor was Truly complicated.

5548
03:34:17,637 --> 03:34:21,237
My ride along ended with with

5549
03:34:22,842 --> 03:34:23,543
the Otay landfill in Chula

5550
03:34:23,543 --> 03:34:24,243
Vista and just the impressive

5551
03:34:24,243 --> 03:34:27,843
work that goes there I believe

5552
03:34:28,848 --> 03:34:29,282
it's owned by Republic if I'm

5553
03:34:29,282 --> 03:34:30,830
not mistaken.

5554
03:34:30,830 --> 03:34:34,283
So I was able to see firsthand

5555
03:34:35,555 --> 03:34:36,256
what the esd men and women do

5556
03:34:36,256 --> 03:34:36,923
daily and it's just incredible

5557
03:34:36,923 --> 03:34:39,923
to witness the magnitude of

5558
03:34:40,627 --> 03:34:41,426
work that happens behind

5559
03:34:41,426 --> 03:34:42,950
the scenes of a service that I

5560
03:34:42,950 --> 03:34:42,795
think often goes unnoticed.

5561
03:34:42,795 --> 03:34:45,795
So I'm just extremely grateful

5562
03:34:48,168 --> 03:34:48,868
to all the sd everybody in sd

5563
03:34:48,868 --> 03:34:49,435
because I know it's not just

5564
03:34:49,435 --> 03:34:51,835
the folks speaking up.

5565
03:34:53,239 --> 03:34:53,606
It's like I said, it's like a

5566
03:34:53,606 --> 03:34:54,307
symphony.

5567
03:34:54,307 --> 03:34:57,907
It was grueling and it was

5568
03:34:59,120 --> 03:34:59,812
demanding just but the one

5569
03:34:59,812 --> 03:35:04,120
thing that it was very clear to

5570
03:35:04,450 --> 03:35:09,250
me is it's so it's such a it's

5571
03:35:11,324 --> 03:35:12,250
such a it's something like I

5572
03:35:12,250 --> 03:35:12,759
said that we don't think about

5573
03:35:12,759 --> 03:35:13,360
And thanks to you guys we don't

5574
03:35:13,360 --> 03:35:16,360
have to think about it.

5575
03:35:16,429 --> 03:35:16,963
It's just so invaluable to

5576
03:35:16,963 --> 03:35:17,663
the quality of life.

5577
03:35:17,663 --> 03:35:20,663
I quickly understood if these

5578
03:35:22,702 --> 03:35:23,570
men and women decide not to

5579
03:35:23,570 --> 03:35:24,304
show up one day or even two it

5580
03:35:24,304 --> 03:35:27,304
would just be super detrimental

5581
03:35:28,208 --> 03:35:28,975
to the city workers.

5582
03:35:28,975 --> 03:35:29,676
So just wanted to say recognize

5583
03:35:29,676 --> 03:35:32,676
them and thank them for

5584
03:35:33,647 --> 03:35:34,514
everything that they do.

5585
03:35:34,514 --> 03:35:37,514
Moving on to the updates

5586
03:35:39,786 --> 03:35:40,487
regarding the implementation, I

5587
03:35:40,487 --> 03:35:41,187
want to note that this is

5588
03:35:41,187 --> 03:35:44,187
obviously it's important to me

5589
03:35:45,125 --> 03:35:45,625
that residents receive access

5590
03:35:45,625 --> 03:35:47,427
to financial aid.

5591
03:35:47,427 --> 03:35:50,427
How many financial aid clinics

5592
03:35:53,834 --> 03:35:57,434
have we helped stop Checking my

5593
03:35:57,704 --> 03:35:58,338
notes I believe it's 22 with

5594
03:35:58,338 --> 03:36:01,338
six since the APRIL 30th

5595
03:36:01,875 --> 03:36:02,442
deadline for fiscal year 26

5596
03:36:02,442 --> 03:36:03,143
assistance and they've

5597
03:36:03,143 --> 03:36:03,810
continued after that And we're

5598
03:36:03,810 --> 03:36:05,810
currently coordinating with

5599
03:36:08,115 --> 03:36:08,848
macc to identify dates for

5600
03:36:08,848 --> 03:36:09,482
additional clinics for that And

5601
03:36:09,482 --> 03:36:11,882
these are in-person right?

5602
03:36:12,786 --> 03:36:13,152
The 22 they are in person

5603
03:36:13,152 --> 03:36:13,854
Wonderful.

5604
03:36:13,854 --> 03:36:17,454
>> And how many have been held

5605
03:36:17,925 --> 03:36:18,625
in District eight I believe it

5606
03:36:18,625 --> 03:36:19,326
was four would double check my

5607
03:36:19,326 --> 03:36:21,695
notes but my recollection was

5608
03:36:21,695 --> 03:36:22,950
it was it was four.

5609
03:36:22,950 --> 03:36:22,828
Got you.

5610
03:36:22,828 --> 03:36:23,330
And at what times have these

5611
03:36:23,330 --> 03:36:25,330
clinics been held?

5612
03:36:27,634 --> 03:36:29,634
They've been approximately

5613
03:36:31,638 --> 03:36:32,239
again MR. Memory around 930 in

5614
03:36:32,239 --> 03:36:32,906
the morning to 330 in

5615
03:36:32,906 --> 03:36:33,474
the afternoon give or take.

5616
03:36:33,474 --> 03:36:35,874
>> And I do appreciate

5617
03:36:37,478 --> 03:36:38,178
the effort that esd has put to

5618
03:36:38,178 --> 03:36:38,778
reaching out to the community.

5619
03:36:38,778 --> 03:36:41,178
I am concerned regarding

5620
03:36:43,217 --> 03:36:43,883
the times that we've chosen to

5621
03:36:43,883 --> 03:36:46,883
hold these clinics and this

5622
03:36:48,422 --> 03:36:49,289
would be a follow not a follow

5623
03:36:49,289 --> 03:36:49,957
up but a critique if you will.

5624
03:36:49,957 --> 03:36:52,957
I represent a working class

5625
03:36:54,128 --> 03:36:54,995
community where folks often

5626
03:36:54,995 --> 03:36:55,696
have just more than one job and

5627
03:36:55,696 --> 03:36:56,363
I do find it problematic that

5628
03:36:56,363 --> 03:36:59,363
these clinics are not being

5629
03:37:00,200 --> 03:37:00,868
held past 530 or even on

5630
03:37:00,868 --> 03:37:03,268
weekends when residents are

5631
03:37:05,205 --> 03:37:06,720
more likely to attend.

5632
03:37:06,720 --> 03:37:06,673
I'd also like to ask given that

5633
03:37:06,673 --> 03:37:09,730
the program can support

5634
03:37:09,609 --> 03:37:11,609
approximately 7000 customers

5635
03:37:14,281 --> 03:37:14,882
and only 3897 applications have

5636
03:37:14,882 --> 03:37:17,282
been received right Not

5637
03:37:18,886 --> 03:37:19,186
accepted Receive That's correct

5638
03:37:19,186 --> 03:37:19,853
.

5639
03:37:19,853 --> 03:37:20,587
What target outreach tactics

5640
03:37:20,587 --> 03:37:23,324
are being considered for fiscal

5641
03:37:23,324 --> 03:37:24,124
year 27 to increase

5642
03:37:24,124 --> 03:37:27,124
the participation And out of

5643
03:37:28,162 --> 03:37:28,796
those?

5644
03:37:28,796 --> 03:37:29,496
So that's one question.

5645
03:37:29,496 --> 03:37:33,960
And the second question is out

5646
03:37:33,967 --> 03:37:34,568
of those 3897, how much how

5647
03:37:34,568 --> 03:37:35,202
many have been accepted?

5648
03:37:35,202 --> 03:37:35,502
So I'll take the last one

5649
03:37:35,502 --> 03:37:37,502
first.

5650
03:37:39,306 --> 03:37:42,306
So far around 2300 have been

5651
03:37:43,277 --> 03:37:43,744
fully approved of the of

5652
03:37:43,744 --> 03:37:44,545
the nearly 4004.

5653
03:37:44,545 --> 03:37:44,945
I thank you for the feedback on

5654
03:37:44,945 --> 03:37:46,945
the timing.

5655
03:37:48,449 --> 03:37:48,982
I'll note last year one of

5656
03:37:48,982 --> 03:37:49,650
the constraints with

5657
03:37:49,650 --> 03:37:52,650
involvement of our staff is

5658
03:37:53,787 --> 03:37:54,488
that the financial assistance

5659
03:37:54,488 --> 03:37:57,488
program is general fund funded

5660
03:37:59,192 --> 03:37:59,660
and our program was funded by

5661
03:37:59,660 --> 03:38:00,327
the rate payers.

5662
03:38:00,327 --> 03:38:03,297
Now that will be entering a

5663
03:38:03,297 --> 03:38:03,898
subsidized program with general

5664
03:38:03,898 --> 03:38:04,532
fund we might have

5665
03:38:04,532 --> 03:38:05,166
the opportunity to explore

5666
03:38:05,166 --> 03:38:07,566
whether staff could become

5667
03:38:09,437 --> 03:38:10,370
involved in either providing

5668
03:38:10,370 --> 03:38:10,604
more assistance or even

5669
03:38:10,604 --> 03:38:11,305
attending more clinics

5670
03:38:11,305 --> 03:38:14,809
something we can look into now

5671
03:38:14,809 --> 03:38:15,509
that we're not 1% but we have

5672
03:38:15,509 --> 03:38:19,130
Sorry you've made me think of

5673
03:38:19,130 --> 03:38:19,780
another question We have enough

5674
03:38:19,780 --> 03:38:20,248
money for up to 7000 folks.

5675
03:38:20,248 --> 03:38:22,248
That's correct.

5676
03:38:24,117 --> 03:38:24,885
So that isn't a question.

5677
03:38:24,885 --> 03:38:27,885
And on that note, on

5678
03:38:28,956 --> 03:38:29,724
the targeted outreach we've one

5679
03:38:29,724 --> 03:38:30,390
one item we've done is reached

5680
03:38:30,390 --> 03:38:31,580
out to the county to see if

5681
03:38:31,580 --> 03:38:33,458
there's any information they

5682
03:38:33,928 --> 03:38:34,628
could share either of those

5683
03:38:34,628 --> 03:38:35,396
folks who MAY have in the past

5684
03:38:35,396 --> 03:38:38,396
had inability to pay their

5685
03:38:39,467 --> 03:38:40,234
property taxes on time.

5686
03:38:40,234 --> 03:38:41,340
Also if they'd be willing to

5687
03:38:41,340 --> 03:38:44,340
pass along our information if

5688
03:38:44,138 --> 03:38:44,739
they couldn't share

5689
03:38:44,739 --> 03:38:45,406
the addresses directly.

5690
03:38:45,406 --> 03:38:45,973
And then additionally we've

5691
03:38:45,973 --> 03:38:47,973
been coordinating with

5692
03:38:49,143 --> 03:38:49,910
community based organizations

5693
03:38:49,910 --> 03:38:50,444
and to invite them to pass

5694
03:38:50,444 --> 03:38:50,978
along information on

5695
03:38:50,978 --> 03:38:51,712
the program to their

5696
03:38:51,712 --> 03:38:54,649
communities they serve in their

5697
03:38:54,649 --> 03:38:54,949
networks.

5698
03:38:54,949 --> 03:38:55,783
Okay.

5699
03:38:55,783 --> 03:38:58,783
And that is what that's

5700
03:39:00,540 --> 03:39:00,821
the tactic to get more folks to

5701
03:39:00,821 --> 03:39:04,158
apply or yeah I guess at this

5702
03:39:04,158 --> 03:39:04,591
point to just apply right?

5703
03:39:04,591 --> 03:39:05,192
Yes.

5704
03:39:05,192 --> 03:39:07,562
And the other thing I would

5705
03:39:07,562 --> 03:39:08,262
note is one of the feedback we

5706
03:39:08,262 --> 03:39:11,862
received in the first year was

5707
03:39:13,670 --> 03:39:13,701
rather than having people apply

5708
03:39:13,701 --> 03:39:14,435
from scratch in the second

5709
03:39:14,435 --> 03:39:16,537
year, can we streamline so that

5710
03:39:16,537 --> 03:39:17,205
if they qualified from one year

5711
03:39:17,205 --> 03:39:17,939
if they remain the property

5712
03:39:17,939 --> 03:39:21,539
owner of that property have it

5713
03:39:21,809 --> 03:39:22,477
be two year increments And what

5714
03:39:22,477 --> 03:39:23,143
that means is for the second

5715
03:39:23,143 --> 03:39:23,444
year we're not starting from

5716
03:39:23,444 --> 03:39:25,444
zero.

5717
03:39:27,148 --> 03:39:27,815
We're essentially starting from

5718
03:39:27,815 --> 03:39:28,348
and then we can build from

5719
03:39:28,348 --> 03:39:30,348
there 2300 correct.

5720
03:39:31,319 --> 03:39:32,200
Which would be okay And there

5721
03:39:32,200 --> 03:39:32,320
is an opening and a closing

5722
03:39:32,320 --> 03:39:33,540
right?

5723
03:39:33,540 --> 03:39:36,190
When is the opening and closing

5724
03:39:36,190 --> 03:39:38,590
of these applications for

5725
03:39:39,861 --> 03:39:40,128
the fiscal year 24 fiscal year

5726
03:39:40,128 --> 03:39:40,862
26.

5727
03:39:40,862 --> 03:39:43,430
The program launched in JANUARY

5728
03:39:43,430 --> 03:39:44,980
and it was through APRIL 30th

5729
03:39:44,980 --> 03:39:47,980
are now starting MAY 1st

5730
03:39:48,536 --> 03:39:48,937
through we projected next year

5731
03:39:48,937 --> 03:39:49,571
APRIL 30th.

5732
03:39:49,571 --> 03:39:52,841
And the reason for that it

5733
03:39:52,841 --> 03:39:53,575
gives us an ability to go

5734
03:39:53,575 --> 03:39:54,274
through all of the applications

5735
03:39:54,274 --> 03:39:57,274
received and then get through

5736
03:39:57,746 --> 03:39:58,379
that queue and get

5737
03:39:58,379 --> 03:39:59,470
the assistance out before

5738
03:39:59,470 --> 03:39:59,614
the end of the fiscal year.

5739
03:39:59,614 --> 03:40:02,140
So it's currently open

5740
03:40:03,218 --> 03:40:03,718
the application process is

5741
03:40:03,718 --> 03:40:05,718
currently current.

5742
03:40:08,289 --> 03:40:08,856
Okay And Mac is a provider or a

5743
03:40:08,856 --> 03:40:09,858
partner I should say.

5744
03:40:09,858 --> 03:40:12,961
What are we paying Mac to do

5745
03:40:12,961 --> 03:40:16,561
This work The first fiscal year

5746
03:40:17,399 --> 03:40:18,990
fiscal 26 it was approximate

5747
03:40:18,990 --> 03:40:18,766
only on the order of 500,000

5748
03:40:18,766 --> 03:40:22,366
for the year for next fiscal

5749
03:40:22,403 --> 03:40:23,171
year Again based on approximate

5750
03:40:23,171 --> 03:40:26,274
memory it's on the order of

5751
03:40:26,274 --> 03:40:27,800
around 250,000.

5752
03:40:27,800 --> 03:40:27,675
>> So part of the reason

5753
03:40:27,675 --> 03:40:28,343
the first year was more was

5754
03:40:28,343 --> 03:40:30,711
standing up the program and

5755
03:40:30,711 --> 03:40:31,412
building infrastructure So it's

5756
03:40:31,412 --> 03:40:33,812
500,000 to put on 15 clinics

5757
03:40:35,830 --> 03:40:35,749
and to accept or deny

5758
03:40:35,749 --> 03:40:36,284
the applications correct and

5759
03:40:36,284 --> 03:40:36,785
also to outreach for

5760
03:40:36,785 --> 03:40:37,252
the applications.

5761
03:40:37,252 --> 03:40:39,252
That's correct.

5762
03:40:40,222 --> 03:40:40,956
Okay.

5763
03:40:40,956 --> 03:40:41,589
What's the average wait time

5764
03:40:41,589 --> 03:40:43,989
for a financial assistance

5765
03:40:45,193 --> 03:40:45,894
application So I can answer

5766
03:40:45,894 --> 03:40:48,294
that question indirectly They

5767
03:40:50,132 --> 03:40:53,132
have been getting through a

5768
03:40:53,335 --> 03:40:53,868
round lately around 100 to 200

5769
03:40:53,868 --> 03:40:54,602
applications a week.

5770
03:40:54,602 --> 03:40:58,202
It's hard to give an exact

5771
03:40:58,206 --> 03:40:58,873
average because a lot of

5772
03:40:58,873 --> 03:40:59,540
the applications if they're

5773
03:40:59,540 --> 03:41:00,142
100% complete they have all

5774
03:41:00,142 --> 03:41:02,542
the information they can

5775
03:41:02,778 --> 03:41:03,545
approve it very quickly.

5776
03:41:03,545 --> 03:41:04,212
What they've been doing is if

5777
03:41:04,212 --> 03:41:06,612
an application is missing

5778
03:41:08,116 --> 03:41:08,684
information, they've been

5779
03:41:08,684 --> 03:41:09,384
reaching out, calling

5780
03:41:09,384 --> 03:41:11,687
the applicant or calling them

5781
03:41:11,687 --> 03:41:12,387
waiting them to call back to

5782
03:41:12,387 --> 03:41:12,954
get missing information or

5783
03:41:12,954 --> 03:41:13,655
corrected information.

5784
03:41:13,655 --> 03:41:16,655
So depending on how responsive

5785
03:41:17,159 --> 03:41:17,926
an applicant is that could

5786
03:41:17,926 --> 03:41:18,326
extend how long it how long it

5787
03:41:18,326 --> 03:41:20,326
would take.

5788
03:41:21,330 --> 03:41:23,330
>> We have 3997 applications.

5789
03:41:25,967 --> 03:41:26,668
So can you tell me how long You

5790
03:41:26,668 --> 03:41:27,536
probably can't tell me right

5791
03:41:27,536 --> 03:41:30,839
now but can you tell me

5792
03:41:30,839 --> 03:41:31,440
the median wait time for

5793
03:41:31,440 --> 03:41:33,440
the financial assistance

5794
03:41:35,978 --> 03:41:36,345
application for maybe even say

5795
03:41:36,345 --> 03:41:37,145
the 2300?

5796
03:41:37,145 --> 03:41:40,745
I guess we should only include

5797
03:41:41,216 --> 03:41:44,816
that because there are also So

5798
03:41:44,986 --> 03:41:45,888
for the 3897 if I could know

5799
03:41:45,888 --> 03:41:49,458
how many you know how long it

5800
03:41:49,458 --> 03:41:50,159
takes just on average even not

5801
03:41:50,159 --> 03:41:50,959
putting into consideration any

5802
03:41:50,959 --> 03:41:54,559
variable just this is what it's

5803
03:41:55,297 --> 03:41:58,297
taking I would say multiple

5804
03:41:59,268 --> 03:42:00,690
months to give you an average

5805
03:42:00,690 --> 03:42:00,735
it would include the date that

5806
03:42:00,735 --> 03:42:01,170
application was received and

5807
03:42:01,170 --> 03:42:03,170
then the date.

5808
03:42:04,720 --> 03:42:04,773
So it would be looking at

5809
03:42:04,773 --> 03:42:05,730
the individual factors for all

5810
03:42:05,730 --> 03:42:07,730
4000.

5811
03:42:10,450 --> 03:42:10,846
I can check with a mac I'm not

5812
03:42:10,846 --> 03:42:11,513
going to put them on the slide

5813
03:42:11,513 --> 03:42:12,470
unless they I would say no I

5814
03:42:12,470 --> 03:42:14,470
wouldn't want that.

5815
03:42:14,350 --> 03:42:15,217
I can even just an email just

5816
03:42:15,217 --> 03:42:18,553
so I could see it and I would

5817
03:42:18,553 --> 03:42:19,187
our staff and Mac also to

5818
03:42:19,187 --> 03:42:21,587
factor in working families

5819
03:42:23,559 --> 03:42:24,260
schedules for I mentioned that

5820
03:42:24,260 --> 03:42:27,860
for the clinics if they could

5821
03:42:28,229 --> 03:42:28,931
start later in the day

5822
03:42:28,931 --> 03:42:29,565
obviously robust outreach for

5823
03:42:29,565 --> 03:42:31,565
residents consider senior

5824
03:42:33,200 --> 03:42:33,969
citizens especially

5825
03:42:33,969 --> 03:42:37,569
the inability to attend some of

5826
03:42:38,507 --> 03:42:39,208
the meetings I think is going

5827
03:42:39,208 --> 03:42:42,808
to be a factor and also

5828
03:42:42,878 --> 03:42:43,646
the fact that a lot of well I

5829
03:42:43,646 --> 03:42:44,346
shouldn't say a lot 10% of

5830
03:42:44,346 --> 03:42:47,346
the population in my district

5831
03:42:47,583 --> 03:42:48,117
are they exist within

5832
03:42:48,117 --> 03:42:50,117
the digital divide.

5833
03:42:52,210 --> 03:42:52,822
So they have they do not have

5834
03:42:52,822 --> 03:42:53,322
access to any, you know, smart

5835
03:42:53,322 --> 03:42:55,722
form phone wi fi.

5836
03:42:57,459 --> 03:43:00,459
So really getting creative on

5837
03:43:01,897 --> 03:43:02,630
how we outreach this program so

5838
03:43:02,630 --> 03:43:06,230
our residents able to walk into

5839
03:43:06,569 --> 03:43:07,269
Mac's installations and receive

5840
03:43:07,269 --> 03:43:07,803
information for the financial

5841
03:43:07,803 --> 03:43:09,803
assistance program.

5842
03:43:11,907 --> 03:43:14,907
I understand that there their

5843
03:43:16,412 --> 03:43:17,380
offices are in Chula Vista but

5844
03:43:17,380 --> 03:43:18,130
is is a resident are we able to

5845
03:43:18,130 --> 03:43:21,613
send a resident to the Mac

5846
03:43:21,750 --> 03:43:22,510
facility to apply in Chula

5847
03:43:22,510 --> 03:43:22,752
Vista?

5848
03:43:22,752 --> 03:43:26,155
They aren't staffed and set up

5849
03:43:26,155 --> 03:43:27,230
to accept walk in the clinics

5850
03:43:27,230 --> 03:43:30,623
are the primary approach and so

5851
03:43:32,695 --> 03:43:33,395
i thank you for the feedback on

5852
03:43:33,395 --> 03:43:34,130
the timing of those events and

5853
03:43:34,130 --> 03:43:34,863
that's something we can look at

5854
03:43:34,863 --> 03:43:36,980
for the coming years and sketch

5855
03:43:36,980 --> 03:43:36,499
with those to make sure they're

5856
03:43:36,499 --> 03:43:36,932
accessible.

5857
03:43:36,932 --> 03:43:38,932
>> Thank you.

5858
03:43:40,469 --> 03:43:41,170
And so obviously just to put it

5859
03:43:41,170 --> 03:43:44,170
on the record, future clinics

5860
03:43:45,410 --> 03:43:45,741
are being considered in other

5861
03:43:45,741 --> 03:43:46,375
communities in addition to San

5862
03:43:46,375 --> 03:43:46,675
Ysidro and Logan Heights.

5863
03:43:46,675 --> 03:43:47,343
Right.

5864
03:43:47,343 --> 03:43:50,343
We're looking at Otay Mesa

5865
03:43:50,746 --> 03:43:51,447
Nester Egger I just want to put

5866
03:43:51,447 --> 03:43:55,510
that on the record and I just

5867
03:43:55,510 --> 03:43:55,384
have a few more maybe a minute

5868
03:43:55,384 --> 03:43:56,119
or two.

5869
03:43:56,119 --> 03:43:59,155
Once again it's important to me

5870
03:43:59,155 --> 03:43:59,855
that residents in District

5871
03:43:59,855 --> 03:44:00,423
eight have the opportunity to

5872
03:44:00,423 --> 03:44:02,423
easily participate in

5873
03:44:04,293 --> 03:44:04,894
the financial assistance

5874
03:44:04,894 --> 03:44:05,861
clinics provided by esd.

5875
03:44:05,861 --> 03:44:09,365
It's good to hear that you guys

5876
03:44:09,365 --> 03:44:09,999
might jump in and get some of

5877
03:44:09,999 --> 03:44:11,999
that intellectual property

5878
03:44:14,270 --> 03:44:14,603
right that we're handing over

5879
03:44:14,603 --> 03:44:15,270
to Mac.

5880
03:44:15,270 --> 03:44:18,870
Thank you Mac by the way.

5881
03:44:19,208 --> 03:44:23,408
And so yeah, we should make it

5882
03:44:23,813 --> 03:44:24,513
easier rather than harder for

5883
03:44:24,513 --> 03:44:28,113
folks to apply And so that

5884
03:44:28,685 --> 03:44:29,385
would be my concluding comments

5885
03:44:29,385 --> 03:44:30,119
But once again just tremendous

5886
03:44:30,119 --> 03:44:34,224
work that the men and women did

5887
03:44:34,224 --> 03:44:38,463
out in in esd Just it was truly

5888
03:44:38,463 --> 03:44:39,229
phenomenal and it was tough too

5889
03:44:39,229 --> 03:44:39,595
And I actually got to lift up a

5890
03:44:39,595 --> 03:44:41,595
trash can.

5891
03:44:43,232 --> 03:44:43,533
So that was that was really

5892
03:44:43,533 --> 03:44:44,400
cool.

5893
03:44:44,400 --> 03:44:45,101
So please thank Kiki and all of

5894
03:44:45,101 --> 03:44:47,937
his and I think we're working

5895
03:44:47,937 --> 03:44:48,638
on a ride share That's what

5896
03:44:48,638 --> 03:44:49,305
came out of this conversation

5897
03:44:49,305 --> 03:44:52,905
is a ride share with sandag.

5898
03:44:52,976 --> 03:44:53,510
So it was a really fun time And

5899
03:44:53,510 --> 03:44:53,976
thank you you guys.

5900
03:44:53,976 --> 03:44:54,611
I appreciate it.

5901
03:44:54,611 --> 03:44:54,978
Thank you, Councilmember.

5902
03:44:54,978 --> 03:44:55,345
All right.

5903
03:44:55,345 --> 03:44:57,345
Thank you.

5904
03:44:57,947 --> 03:44:58,681
COUNCILMAN Moreno.

5905
03:44:58,681 --> 03:44:59,415
We'll go next to Councilmember

5906
03:44:59,415 --> 03:44:59,983
Camp You you council PRESIDENT.

5907
03:44:59,983 --> 03:45:01,584
Thank you to our staff

5908
03:45:01,584 --> 03:45:02,285
obviously Environmental

5909
03:45:02,285 --> 03:45:03,520
Services does an excellent and

5910
03:45:03,520 --> 03:45:06,520
important job for making sure

5911
03:45:07,790 --> 03:45:08,358
public is safe and healthy and

5912
03:45:08,358 --> 03:45:09,225
million other things.

5913
03:45:09,225 --> 03:45:11,995
We wanted to just get a sense

5914
03:45:11,995 --> 03:45:15,498
of one of the issues in

5915
03:45:15,498 --> 03:45:16,199
the staff report It looks like

5916
03:45:16,199 --> 03:45:16,900
the first rfid readers aren't

5917
03:45:16,900 --> 03:45:17,333
working out but we're going to

5918
03:45:17,333 --> 03:45:18,330
a second one.

5919
03:45:18,330 --> 03:45:18,568
Can you give us a little more

5920
03:45:18,568 --> 03:45:20,336
information on that?

5921
03:45:20,336 --> 03:45:21,103
Oh yes.

5922
03:45:21,103 --> 03:45:24,703
So we discussed last JUNE that

5923
03:45:25,175 --> 03:45:25,742
all the new containers come

5924
03:45:25,742 --> 03:45:26,242
with the rfid Readers

5925
03:45:26,242 --> 03:45:26,909
themselves are in

5926
03:45:26,909 --> 03:45:29,909
the containers and that our

5927
03:45:30,380 --> 03:45:31,470
plan was to test hardware

5928
03:45:31,470 --> 03:45:34,470
through a pilot before we

5929
03:45:35,118 --> 03:45:38,118
invested in installing on our

5930
03:45:38,421 --> 03:45:39,289
on our fleet of trucks We did

5931
03:45:39,289 --> 03:45:42,289
test one hardware the detection

5932
03:45:43,960 --> 03:45:44,528
rate and the versatility of

5933
03:45:44,528 --> 03:45:46,928
the equipment was not

5934
03:45:48,598 --> 03:45:49,332
sufficient for our in our

5935
03:45:49,332 --> 03:45:50,100
perspective to invest the money

5936
03:45:50,100 --> 03:45:53,100
to buy 150 to 200 of those

5937
03:45:53,570 --> 03:45:54,504
devices.

5938
03:45:54,504 --> 03:45:55,171
In that sense we see it as a

5939
03:45:55,171 --> 03:45:58,171
successful pilot and that we

5940
03:45:58,508 --> 03:45:59,109
were able to conclude something

5941
03:45:59,109 --> 03:46:01,109
before purchasing varig

5942
03:46:03,346 --> 03:46:04,470
the same the same vendor that

5943
03:46:04,470 --> 03:46:04,815
makes the containers we became

5944
03:46:04,815 --> 03:46:07,815
aware also makes this hardware

5945
03:46:09,152 --> 03:46:09,853
So our next step is to test

5946
03:46:09,853 --> 03:46:13,560
that hardware and if and only

5947
03:46:13,560 --> 03:46:13,790
if it also turns out to be

5948
03:46:13,790 --> 03:46:14,457
successful scanning meeting our

5949
03:46:14,457 --> 03:46:16,857
Detectability goals Then at

5950
03:46:17,961 --> 03:46:18,595
that point we would plan to

5951
03:46:18,595 --> 03:46:19,162
invest in the equipment to

5952
03:46:19,162 --> 03:46:21,562
install on the trucks.

5953
03:46:22,165 --> 03:46:22,966
Okay understood.

5954
03:46:22,966 --> 03:46:23,633
In terms of the second pilot

5955
03:46:23,633 --> 03:46:27,204
that we see we're at, where

5956
03:46:27,204 --> 03:46:27,838
have we already started testing

5957
03:46:27,838 --> 03:46:28,738
that as early this summer?

5958
03:46:28,738 --> 03:46:31,975
So we have an item coming to

5959
03:46:31,975 --> 03:46:32,742
council in the coming weeks or

5960
03:46:32,742 --> 03:46:35,742
so to consider the contract

5961
03:46:36,713 --> 03:46:37,214
vehicle that would allow us to

5962
03:46:37,214 --> 03:46:37,581
buy the equipment.

5963
03:46:37,581 --> 03:46:39,581
Very good.

5964
03:46:41,385 --> 03:46:42,850
Okay.

5965
03:46:42,850 --> 03:46:42,920
What's the long term plan?

5966
03:46:42,920 --> 03:46:44,821
What what's plan c if this one

5967
03:46:44,821 --> 03:46:45,789
doesn't work Because rfid chips

5968
03:46:45,789 --> 03:46:49,989
are important for us to be able

5969
03:46:50,727 --> 03:46:51,328
to certify that we're charging

5970
03:46:51,328 --> 03:46:51,895
people for the right at

5971
03:46:51,895 --> 03:46:54,295
the right location for

5972
03:46:55,199 --> 03:46:56,166
the right amount of trash in

5973
03:46:56,166 --> 03:46:59,766
general if for some reason it

5974
03:47:00,404 --> 03:47:01,138
wasn't giving the detective

5975
03:47:01,138 --> 03:47:01,772
rate we would look for we would

5976
03:47:01,772 --> 03:47:04,174
look for if there's other

5977
03:47:04,174 --> 03:47:04,874
equipment, other vendors and

5978
03:47:04,874 --> 03:47:05,175
then we could also test.

5979
03:47:05,175 --> 03:47:05,910
Okay.

5980
03:47:05,910 --> 03:47:08,310
Well looking forward to

5981
03:47:09,880 --> 03:47:10,614
bringing that seeing that item

5982
03:47:10,614 --> 03:47:11,248
come to full council and making

5983
03:47:11,248 --> 03:47:11,615
sure we get this to work.

5984
03:47:11,615 --> 03:47:11,982
Thank you.

5985
03:47:11,982 --> 03:47:13,982
Thank you.

5986
03:47:13,984 --> 03:47:14,485
Councilmember.

5987
03:47:14,485 --> 03:47:15,219
All right.

5988
03:47:15,219 --> 03:47:16,190
Thank you, Councilmember Campo.

5989
03:47:16,190 --> 03:47:18,589
I don't see anybody else in

5990
03:47:18,589 --> 03:47:19,156
the lights.

5991
03:47:19,156 --> 03:47:19,923
I'll add my thanks.

5992
03:47:19,923 --> 03:47:22,859
You know a good reminder that

5993
03:47:22,859 --> 03:47:25,259
everything you're doing you

5994
03:47:28,132 --> 03:47:31,732
started from scratch and and a

5995
03:47:32,836 --> 03:47:33,504
fabulous job and you know, a

5996
03:47:33,504 --> 03:47:34,171
lot of bumps along the way.

5997
03:47:34,171 --> 03:47:37,171
But you navigated those and

5998
03:47:37,608 --> 03:47:38,108
righted the ship and really

5999
03:47:38,108 --> 03:47:38,809
delivered for us.

6000
03:47:38,809 --> 03:47:42,379
A couple of questions kind of

6001
03:47:42,379 --> 03:47:43,800
inspired by my colleagues that

6002
03:47:43,800 --> 03:47:46,680
I wasn't really going to ask.

6003
03:47:46,750 --> 03:47:47,351
So in the f y 26 budget we

6004
03:47:47,351 --> 03:47:47,918
allocated money for this

6005
03:47:47,918 --> 03:47:49,918
financial assistance.

6006
03:47:51,154 --> 03:47:51,588
It sounds like we did not burn

6007
03:47:51,588 --> 03:47:52,489
through that.

6008
03:47:52,489 --> 03:47:56,393
Did we roll that over So we

6009
03:47:56,393 --> 03:47:59,395
actually have more money in f y

6010
03:47:59,395 --> 03:47:59,729
27 or do we still have the 3

6011
03:47:59,729 --> 03:48:00,300
million?

6012
03:48:00,300 --> 03:48:00,798
Yes.

6013
03:48:00,798 --> 03:48:03,798
So the for the contract

6014
03:48:03,901 --> 03:48:04,502
administration we simply

6015
03:48:04,502 --> 03:48:05,202
wouldn't spend that for

6016
03:48:05,202 --> 03:48:08,202
the amount that was allocated

6017
03:48:09,600 --> 03:48:09,740
for the assistance itself.

6018
03:48:09,740 --> 03:48:12,309
We still have that and we're

6019
03:48:12,309 --> 03:48:13,100
going through the nearly 4000

6020
03:48:13,100 --> 03:48:13,677
applications and depending on

6021
03:48:13,677 --> 03:48:16,677
whether there's how many of

6022
03:48:17,481 --> 03:48:18,149
those are fully approved,

6023
03:48:18,149 --> 03:48:18,649
the remaining funding would

6024
03:48:18,649 --> 03:48:21,490
first go to those.

6025
03:48:22,252 --> 03:48:22,787
It would then roll over and

6026
03:48:22,787 --> 03:48:23,487
then when we review

6027
03:48:23,487 --> 03:48:26,487
the applications for next year

6028
03:48:26,956 --> 03:48:27,825
we'd have it available.

6029
03:48:27,825 --> 03:48:28,392
If funding is not used then at

6030
03:48:28,392 --> 03:48:28,992
that point it would be

6031
03:48:28,992 --> 03:48:31,362
available to return to

6032
03:48:31,362 --> 03:48:31,662
the general fund.

6033
03:48:31,662 --> 03:48:33,662
Okay.

6034
03:48:35,199 --> 03:48:35,866
In terms of expectations,

6035
03:48:35,866 --> 03:48:36,667
the 2300 that were approved

6036
03:48:36,667 --> 03:48:40,400
that would be a credit towards

6037
03:48:40,400 --> 03:48:43,774
the f y 26 cost that would show

6038
03:48:43,774 --> 03:48:44,342
up in their f y 27 bill.

6039
03:48:44,342 --> 03:48:46,742
So no thank you.

6040
03:48:47,645 --> 03:48:48,379
Thank you for the question

6041
03:48:48,379 --> 03:48:51,379
Councilmember So for those that

6042
03:48:51,849 --> 03:48:52,450
have applied for fiscal year 26

6043
03:48:52,450 --> 03:48:53,184
because they've already

6044
03:48:53,184 --> 03:48:56,153
received their bill and in most

6045
03:48:56,153 --> 03:48:56,887
cases already paid it

6046
03:48:56,887 --> 03:48:57,622
the assistance for this year is

6047
03:48:57,622 --> 03:48:58,289
in the form of a rebate so they

6048
03:48:58,289 --> 03:49:01,289
will receive or have already

6049
03:49:01,726 --> 03:49:02,393
received in some cases either a

6050
03:49:02,393 --> 03:49:02,760
check or direct deposit for

6051
03:49:02,760 --> 03:49:04,760
next year.

6052
03:49:06,960 --> 03:49:06,831
The plan is to primarily do

6053
03:49:06,831 --> 03:49:07,131
the proactive credit on the tax

6054
03:49:07,131 --> 03:49:07,432
bill.

6055
03:49:07,432 --> 03:49:09,432
Okay.

6056
03:49:11,269 --> 03:49:11,902
And then the remainder of

6057
03:49:11,902 --> 03:49:14,902
the 4000 And once they get

6058
03:49:15,906 --> 03:49:16,240
finally approved I get there in

6059
03:49:16,240 --> 03:49:16,908
process.

6060
03:49:16,908 --> 03:49:17,608
Will they also get a rebate

6061
03:49:17,608 --> 03:49:17,874
That will be a rebate as well?

6062
03:49:17,874 --> 03:49:18,175
Yes.

6063
03:49:18,175 --> 03:49:20,175
Okay.

6064
03:49:20,545 --> 03:49:21,412
All right.

6065
03:49:21,412 --> 03:49:25,120
Again, standing up a first time

6066
03:49:25,182 --> 03:49:25,616
effort So really doing a very,

6067
03:49:25,616 --> 03:49:26,250
very good job.

6068
03:49:26,250 --> 03:49:28,250
I appreciate Councilmember

6069
03:49:29,954 --> 03:49:30,654
Moreno's perspective given her

6070
03:49:30,654 --> 03:49:31,389
knowledge of her constituents

6071
03:49:31,389 --> 03:49:34,258
about how to connect with them.

6072
03:49:34,258 --> 03:49:34,959
I think that's the biggest

6073
03:49:34,959 --> 03:49:35,660
challenge we have is how to

6074
03:49:35,660 --> 03:49:38,660
connect with people who don't

6075
03:49:39,163 --> 03:49:39,864
know our programs available And

6076
03:49:39,864 --> 03:49:43,464
this is something that can be

6077
03:49:44,736 --> 03:49:45,603
pretty available to them.

6078
03:49:45,603 --> 03:49:46,271
There was a comment I want make

6079
03:49:46,271 --> 03:49:49,271
sure people realize t genie

6080
03:49:49,873 --> 03:49:50,574
does not run the care program

6081
03:49:50,574 --> 03:49:53,878
or they run the care program.

6082
03:49:53,878 --> 03:49:54,546
It is not Genie's money it is

6083
03:49:54,546 --> 03:49:56,946
ratepayers money that Genie

6084
03:49:58,616 --> 03:49:59,217
manages on behalf of a

6085
03:49:59,217 --> 03:50:01,217
statewide public purpose

6086
03:50:03,354 --> 03:50:03,988
program No shade on Genie but I

6087
03:50:03,988 --> 03:50:04,622
didn't want anybody to get

6088
03:50:04,622 --> 03:50:06,622
confused after yesterday's

6089
03:50:08,192 --> 03:50:08,827
conversation And I appreciate

6090
03:50:08,827 --> 03:50:11,227
the conversation too about

6091
03:50:12,997 --> 03:50:13,631
the fund balance and keeping an

6092
03:50:13,631 --> 03:50:14,165
eye and managing on that.

6093
03:50:14,165 --> 03:50:17,165
But at the risk of

6094
03:50:17,869 --> 03:50:18,569
relitigating, I think about 70

6095
03:50:18,569 --> 03:50:19,270
or 80 million that was being

6096
03:50:19,270 --> 03:50:22,870
taken out of the general fund

6097
03:50:23,107 --> 03:50:27,178
to run esd that no longer is

6098
03:50:27,178 --> 03:50:28,460
part of the conversation and

6099
03:50:28,460 --> 03:50:28,779
and I know there are still some

6100
03:50:28,779 --> 03:50:31,683
folks that believe that private

6101
03:50:31,683 --> 03:50:32,450
haulers charge less than

6102
03:50:32,450 --> 03:50:33,118
the city And I think I know

6103
03:50:33,118 --> 03:50:33,418
personally that that is not

6104
03:50:33,418 --> 03:50:35,418
true.

6105
03:50:36,655 --> 03:50:37,455
We heard a lot of stories about

6106
03:50:37,455 --> 03:50:41,550
how much people pay for private

6107
03:50:41,226 --> 03:50:41,927
waste collection that goes

6108
03:50:41,927 --> 03:50:42,494
above and beyond what the city

6109
03:50:42,494 --> 03:50:44,494
is actually charging.

6110
03:50:45,530 --> 03:50:46,231
Nevertheless, we should be

6111
03:50:46,231 --> 03:50:48,631
sensitive to what constituents

6112
03:50:50,368 --> 03:50:51,136
have to pay going forward.

6113
03:50:51,136 --> 03:50:51,736
So with that again, thank you

6114
03:50:51,736 --> 03:50:54,736
for the very good work.

6115
03:50:55,307 --> 03:50:56,700
Thank you for these regular

6116
03:50:56,700 --> 03:50:56,541
updates about the program and

6117
03:50:56,541 --> 03:50:58,541
keeping us informed.

6118
03:51:00,545 --> 03:51:01,450
It's I think very helpful to us

6119
03:51:01,450 --> 03:51:01,646
and to the public.

6120
03:51:01,646 --> 03:51:04,646
So again this was an

6121
03:51:04,950 --> 03:51:05,350
information item and no motion

6122
03:51:05,350 --> 03:51:06,217
is required.

6123
03:51:06,217 --> 03:51:09,217
So with that Deputy clerk

6124
03:51:10,554 --> 03:51:11,189
please reintroduce item 333 and

6125
03:51:11,189 --> 03:51:13,589
proceed with the tabulated

6126
03:51:15,260 --> 03:51:15,793
protests.

6127
03:51:15,793 --> 03:51:16,428
Item three through three is a

6128
03:51:16,428 --> 03:51:18,828
collection of solid waste

6129
03:51:19,698 --> 03:51:20,650
management fees on the county

6130
03:51:20,650 --> 03:51:22,650
tax roll.

6131
03:51:24,436 --> 03:51:25,700
There's information provided by

6132
03:51:25,700 --> 03:51:27,700
the Environmental Services

6133
03:51:28,740 --> 03:51:29,474
Department 112,516 protest

6134
03:51:29,474 --> 03:51:32,474
would represent 50% plus one of

6135
03:51:32,811 --> 03:51:33,478
parcel subject to the proposed

6136
03:51:33,478 --> 03:51:35,878
solid waste management fees.

6137
03:51:35,947 --> 03:51:36,681
The city clerk's office

6138
03:51:36,681 --> 03:51:37,382
received three protests against

6139
03:51:37,382 --> 03:51:40,382
adoption of the written report

6140
03:51:41,119 --> 03:51:41,854
identifying affected parcels

6141
03:51:41,854 --> 03:51:42,488
and the solid waste management

6142
03:51:42,488 --> 03:51:45,991
fees to be charged to each

6143
03:51:45,991 --> 03:51:48,391
affected Parcel parcel on

6144
03:51:50,696 --> 03:51:51,230
the 2026 2027 County Tax Bill

6145
03:51:51,230 --> 03:51:51,964
without reviewing or

6146
03:51:51,964 --> 03:51:54,364
authenticating any protests and

6147
03:51:55,400 --> 03:51:56,100
assuming that they are all

6148
03:51:56,100 --> 03:51:56,468
valid and from affected

6149
03:51:56,468 --> 03:51:57,690
property owners.

6150
03:51:57,690 --> 03:52:00,690
We can clearly say that

6151
03:52:00,405 --> 03:52:01,173
the number of protests lodged

6152
03:52:01,173 --> 03:52:03,942
with the city clerk's office is

6153
03:52:03,942 --> 03:52:04,409
clearly below the threshold of

6154
03:52:04,409 --> 03:52:05,440
50% plus one.

6155
03:52:05,440 --> 03:52:05,444
This concludes my report.

6156
03:52:05,444 --> 03:52:07,444
All right.

6157
03:52:09,114 --> 03:52:09,748
Thank you, Deputy Clerk.

6158
03:52:09,748 --> 03:52:10,282
Again, the public hearing

6159
03:52:10,282 --> 03:52:12,282
portion was closed.

6160
03:52:13,519 --> 03:52:14,219
We will now take up council

6161
03:52:14,219 --> 03:52:14,920
members questions and comments

6162
03:52:14,920 --> 03:52:18,520
and entertain a motion and we

6163
03:52:19,625 --> 03:52:19,957
will start with Councilmember

6164
03:52:19,957 --> 03:52:20,325
Rivera.

6165
03:52:20,325 --> 03:52:20,958
Thank you.

6166
03:52:20,958 --> 03:52:23,358
Health resident I'll move

6167
03:52:23,962 --> 03:52:24,329
the recommendation here.

6168
03:52:24,329 --> 03:52:25,296
All right.

6169
03:52:25,296 --> 03:52:28,330
And not see anybody else in

6170
03:52:28,330 --> 03:52:30,330
lights.

6171
03:52:33,672 --> 03:52:34,540
I'll go ahead and second that

6172
03:52:34,540 --> 03:52:34,973
I'll leave it at that not see

6173
03:52:34,973 --> 03:52:35,873
anybody else.

6174
03:52:35,873 --> 03:52:38,276
So we have a motion by council

6175
03:52:38,276 --> 03:52:38,943
member Eli Rivera and a second

6176
03:52:38,943 --> 03:52:42,543
by myself to move the staff

6177
03:52:42,914 --> 03:52:44,914
recommendation on item 333.

6178
03:52:47,419 --> 03:52:48,870
Clerk Please call the roll.

6179
03:52:48,870 --> 03:52:48,420
I have started the voting

6180
03:52:48,420 --> 03:52:50,420
system.

6181
03:52:52,191 --> 03:52:52,892
Please cast your vote and I

6182
03:52:52,892 --> 03:52:53,525
will need a verbal votes from

03:52:53,525 --> 03:52:55,525

Thank you.

6188
03:53:11,476 --> 03:53:13,476

6190
03:53:19,618 --> 03:53:21,618

When you're ready.

6217
03:54:25,517 --> 03:54:26,219
The city council approved

03:54:30,857 --> 03:54:31,190
the budget resolution on JUNE

6221
03:54:31,190 --> 03:54:31,657
11th.

6222
03:54:31,657 --> 03:54:32,357
The adoption of

6223
03:54:32,357 --> 03:54:34,757
the appropriation ordinance is

6224
03:54:36,362 --> 03:54:37,300
the final step in the fiscal

6225
03:54:37,300 --> 03:54:39,430
year 2027 budget process as

6226
03:54:41,367 --> 03:54:42,168
outlined in Charter section 69.

6227
03:54:42,168 --> 03:54:42,834
The aoa appropriates the budget

6228
03:54:42,834 --> 03:54:45,834
based on the two controlling

6229
03:54:46,339 --> 03:54:47,140
documents The salary ordinance

6230
03:54:47,140 --> 03:54:50,140
which sets the compensation for

6231
03:54:51,311 --> 03:54:51,844
city employees and the budget

6232
03:54:51,844 --> 03:54:52,545
resolution And this

6233
03:54:52,545 --> 03:54:54,945
incorporates the mayor's draft

6234
03:54:56,549 --> 03:54:57,283
budget as modified by the MAY

6235
03:54:57,283 --> 03:55:00,283
revision and the City Council's

6236
03:55:00,820 --> 03:55:01,588
additional modifications.

6237
03:55:01,588 --> 03:55:02,322
The purpose of the eo is to

6238
03:55:02,322 --> 03:55:05,491
define the legal level at which

6239
03:55:05,491 --> 03:55:06,590
the Mayor and the cfo are

6240
03:55:06,590 --> 03:55:06,793
authorized to control

6241
03:55:06,793 --> 03:55:09,193
operational and capital project

6242
03:55:10,162 --> 03:55:10,830
expenditures.

6243
03:55:10,830 --> 03:55:12,830
Additionally it facilitates

6244
03:55:13,700 --> 03:55:16,100
administration of the city's

6245
03:55:17,636 --> 03:55:18,304
$6.4 million for $6.4 billion

6246
03:55:18,304 --> 03:55:18,971
budget by providing certain

6247
03:55:18,971 --> 03:55:21,371
delegations of authority to

6248
03:55:22,709 --> 03:55:23,576
the Chief financial officer.

6249
03:55:23,576 --> 03:55:24,760
And this is mostly for routine

6250
03:55:24,760 --> 03:55:26,760
non policy items.

6251
03:55:26,646 --> 03:55:27,313
Charter Section 69 requires

6252
03:55:27,313 --> 03:55:28,481
that the City Council adopt

6253
03:55:28,481 --> 03:55:32,681
the aoe by JUNE 30th each each

6254
03:55:33,286 --> 03:55:34,530
year.

6255
03:55:34,530 --> 03:55:34,688
This year there are three

6256
03:55:34,688 --> 03:55:35,210
requested modifications to

6257
03:55:35,210 --> 03:55:37,210
the act.

6258
03:55:38,240 --> 03:55:41,240
The first is modifying section

6259
03:55:41,661 --> 03:55:42,429
2g2 and adding a new section

6260
03:55:42,429 --> 03:55:46,290
2g4 and this authorizes the cfo

6261
03:55:47,266 --> 03:55:47,968
to reallocate unobligated cdbg

6262
03:55:47,968 --> 03:55:50,368
balances to previously council

6263
03:55:52,105 --> 03:55:52,838
approved nonprofit facility

6264
03:55:52,838 --> 03:55:55,238
improvement projects to support

6265
03:55:57,430 --> 03:55:57,777
timely project completion.

6266
03:55:57,777 --> 03:55:58,511
This authority is to reallocate

6267
03:55:58,511 --> 03:56:01,511
funds for completed canceled or

6268
03:56:02,382 --> 03:56:03,490
ineligible cdbg projects to

6269
03:56:03,490 --> 03:56:05,490
eligible nonprofit facility

6270
03:56:07,387 --> 03:56:08,540
projects in line with

6271
03:56:08,540 --> 03:56:08,722
consolidated plan objectives

6272
03:56:08,722 --> 03:56:11,824
and will assist the city in

6273
03:56:11,824 --> 03:56:12,258
meeting federal timeliness

6274
03:56:12,258 --> 03:56:12,959
requirements.

6275
03:56:12,959 --> 03:56:15,959
Since this item was presented

6276
03:56:16,730 --> 03:56:17,430
to the budget and government

6277
03:56:17,430 --> 03:56:17,997
Efficiency Committee last week

6278
03:56:17,997 --> 03:56:18,732
we worked closely with

6279
03:56:18,732 --> 03:56:22,135
the Office of the aba to revise

6280
03:56:22,135 --> 03:56:22,769
the language to clarify

6281
03:56:22,769 --> 03:56:25,769
the intent of this section

6282
03:56:27,440 --> 03:56:28,141
including that authority to

6283
03:56:28,141 --> 03:56:28,775
appropriate balances on future

6284
03:56:28,775 --> 03:56:30,775
activities not previously

6285
03:56:32,120 --> 03:56:32,712
approved in the annual Action

6286
03:56:32,712 --> 03:56:36,312
Plan or are subject to Council

6287
03:56:36,516 --> 03:56:37,184
authorization and all uses of

6288
03:56:37,184 --> 03:56:37,851
this added authority will be

6289
03:56:37,851 --> 03:56:40,251
included in the consolidated

6290
03:56:41,288 --> 03:56:41,955
annual performance and

6291
03:56:41,955 --> 03:56:44,355
Evaluation Report each year.

6292
03:56:46,126 --> 03:56:46,827
The second update authorizes

6293
03:56:46,827 --> 03:56:47,461
the cfo to accept appropriate

6294
03:56:47,461 --> 03:56:50,461
and expend grants that are

6295
03:56:51,164 --> 03:56:51,631
awarded to the office of

6296
03:56:51,631 --> 03:56:52,232
the City Clerk.

6297
03:56:52,232 --> 03:56:52,933
The new section improves

6298
03:56:52,933 --> 03:56:54,933
administrative efficiency for

6299
03:56:55,702 --> 03:56:56,302
the city clerk's grant funded

6300
03:56:56,302 --> 03:56:57,600
projects and it expands

6301
03:56:57,600 --> 03:57:00,600
the city's ability to leverage

6302
03:57:03,110 --> 03:57:03,977
external funding sources.

6303
03:57:03,977 --> 03:57:06,977
And the third update removes

6304
03:57:07,113 --> 03:57:07,815
section 2b8 and this removes

6305
03:57:07,815 --> 03:57:08,514
the automated refuse container

6306
03:57:08,514 --> 03:57:11,418
fund from the Special Revenue

6307
03:57:11,418 --> 03:57:12,119
Fund section with

6308
03:57:12,119 --> 03:57:12,686
the establishment of the Solid

6309
03:57:12,686 --> 03:57:14,686
Waste Management Fund.

6310
03:57:15,822 --> 03:57:16,523
This fund will be fully

6311
03:57:16,523 --> 03:57:17,224
exhausted and closed in fiscal

6312
03:57:17,224 --> 03:57:19,624
year 2026 and therefore this

6313
03:57:20,828 --> 03:57:21,494
section is no longer required.

6314
03:57:21,494 --> 03:57:22,162
And finally there are minor

6315
03:57:22,162 --> 03:57:24,162
language updates throughout

6316
03:57:25,666 --> 03:57:26,366
the document including updating

6317
03:57:26,366 --> 03:57:28,766
the fiscal year and

6318
03:57:30,804 --> 03:57:31,572
the recitals.

6319
03:57:31,572 --> 03:57:32,272
>> Included with this item are

6320
03:57:32,272 --> 03:57:34,672
the fiscal year 2027 operating

6321
03:57:35,209 --> 03:57:35,876
and capital appropriations

6322
03:57:35,876 --> 03:57:36,577
along with the annual change

6323
03:57:36,577 --> 03:57:39,879
letter as well as a signed

6324
03:57:39,879 --> 03:57:40,581
budget resolution.

6325
03:57:40,581 --> 03:57:41,215
Staff's recommendation is to

6326
03:57:41,215 --> 03:57:43,615
approve the fiscal year 27

6327
03:57:44,585 --> 03:57:45,286
Appropriation ordinance which

6328
03:57:45,286 --> 03:57:45,652
will codify the adopted budget

6329
03:57:45,652 --> 03:57:46,387
into law.

6330
03:57:46,387 --> 03:57:47,540
That concludes our presentation

6331
03:57:47,540 --> 03:57:49,790
and we're available for any

6332
03:57:49,790 --> 03:57:50,391
questions.

6333
03:57:50,391 --> 03:57:51,570
>> All right.

6334
03:57:51,570 --> 03:57:51,792
Thank you for the work and

6335
03:57:51,792 --> 03:57:54,662
thank you for the presentation.

6336
03:57:54,662 --> 03:57:55,194
Deputy Clerk Please proceed

6337
03:57:55,194 --> 03:57:55,629
with public comment.

6338
03:57:55,629 --> 03:57:57,629
>> Thank you.

6339
03:57:59,600 --> 03:58:00,670
We will begin with in-person

6340
03:58:00,670 --> 03:58:02,670
public comment.

6341
03:58:03,871 --> 03:58:06,871
Max Schmitt please come forward

6342
03:58:16,383 --> 03:58:17,151
if you will have two minutes on

6343
03:58:17,151 --> 03:58:19,551
finalizing this ordinance and

6344
03:58:21,589 --> 03:58:23,989
finalizing the fiscal year 27

6345
03:58:26,593 --> 03:58:27,261
tax limit is a big deal and I

6346
03:58:27,261 --> 03:58:30,861
just wanted to say that I'm

6347
03:58:31,699 --> 03:58:32,766
opposed to all city tax.

6348
03:58:32,766 --> 03:58:36,836
>> One of the things I saw in

6349
03:58:36,836 --> 03:58:39,236
there was a recycling

6350
03:58:40,875 --> 03:58:41,642
enterprise fund and I don't

6351
03:58:41,642 --> 03:58:44,642
think that money should be

6352
03:58:46,280 --> 03:58:46,981
taken from the people for

6353
03:58:46,981 --> 03:58:49,981
the climate agenda hoax that's

6354
03:58:51,585 --> 03:58:55,185
being pressed and I just wanted

6355
03:58:55,823 --> 03:58:56,523
to say that San Diego in their

6356
03:58:56,523 --> 03:58:57,324
general fund has about $2

6357
03:58:57,324 --> 03:59:00,324
billion that they get from

6358
03:59:05,499 --> 03:59:06,267
property sales on cannabis tax

6359
03:59:06,267 --> 03:59:09,267
And if that $2 billion they

6360
03:59:10,137 --> 03:59:10,905
provide fire and police safety

6361
03:59:10,905 --> 03:59:11,572
,they operate the parks.

6362
03:59:11,572 --> 03:59:13,972
They operate the libraries.

6363
03:59:14,342 --> 03:59:14,975
And I just want to give a first

6364
03:59:14,975 --> 03:59:17,975
hand testimony of why I'm

6365
03:59:19,379 --> 03:59:20,470
opposed to San Diego Getting

6366
03:59:20,470 --> 03:59:20,982
taxes from a homeless person

6367
03:59:20,982 --> 03:59:23,982
who uses the libraries, uses

6368
03:59:26,354 --> 03:59:27,221
the parks.

6369
03:59:27,221 --> 03:59:27,989
And I just wanted to say that

6370
03:59:27,989 --> 03:59:30,989
I've been harassed by police

6371
03:59:31,758 --> 03:59:32,460
officers who believe it or not

6372
03:59:32,460 --> 03:59:36,600
this is going to sound crazy

6373
03:59:36,597 --> 03:59:40,197
but have actually exposed me to

6374
03:59:41,336 --> 03:59:42,700
squad cars teleporting on in

6375
03:59:42,700 --> 03:59:44,470
conjunction my private thoughts

6376
03:59:45,773 --> 03:59:46,473
and then literally said to me

6377
03:59:46,473 --> 03:59:47,750
police officers tried to scare

6378
03:59:47,750 --> 03:59:49,475
me saying you're getting

6379
03:59:51,245 --> 03:59:51,812
teleport traffic which was

6380
03:59:51,812 --> 03:59:52,447
the stupidest thing in

6381
03:59:52,447 --> 03:59:54,847
the world where freemason

6382
03:59:56,384 --> 03:59:56,985
luciferian is like I said

6383
03:59:56,985 --> 03:59:57,619
the police exposed me to

6384
03:59:57,619 --> 04:00:00,190
teleporting and then said

6385
04:00:01,355 --> 04:00:02,123
You're going to teleport

6386
04:00:02,123 --> 04:00:02,824
traffic is stupid And then at

6387
04:00:02,824 --> 04:00:05,192
the library on which taxes go

6388
04:00:05,192 --> 04:00:05,793
to support the library I get

6389
04:00:05,793 --> 04:00:06,461
surrounded by librarians

6390
04:00:06,461 --> 04:00:08,861
speaking gibberish trying to

6391
04:00:10,465 --> 04:00:11,650
make me go insane and then at

6392
04:00:11,650 --> 04:00:14,650
the parks the same thing

6393
04:00:15,303 --> 04:00:16,700
happens Park employees will

6394
04:00:16,700 --> 04:00:16,771
speak gibberish to make me go

6395
04:00:16,771 --> 04:00:20,371
insane and then the transit of

6396
04:00:21,109 --> 04:00:21,776
the transit police will also

6397
04:00:21,776 --> 04:00:22,543
try to make me go insane.

6398
04:00:22,543 --> 04:00:23,440
>> So I don't think San Diego

6399
04:00:23,440 --> 04:00:23,711
should begin any.

6400
04:00:23,711 --> 04:00:24,678
Thank you for your comments.

6401
04:00:24,678 --> 04:00:25,613
That does conclude your time.

6402
04:00:25,613 --> 04:00:28,613
Our next speaker is allegedly

6403
04:00:34,656 --> 04:00:35,890
Andrea sent not funny to

6404
04:00:35,890 --> 04:00:37,890
anybody else.

6405
04:00:39,193 --> 04:00:39,494
The only three people protested

6406
04:00:39,494 --> 04:00:40,161
.

6407
04:00:40,161 --> 04:00:40,495
Does that sound like good

6408
04:00:40,495 --> 04:00:40,795
numbers?

6409
04:00:40,795 --> 04:00:41,229
Right.

6410
04:00:41,229 --> 04:00:43,229
Good outreach.

6411
04:00:44,532 --> 04:00:45,266
I mean, Anyway, uh, that's just

6412
04:00:45,266 --> 04:00:48,806
so sad because these people are

6413
04:00:48,806 --> 04:00:49,104
going to have a rude awakening

6414
04:00:49,104 --> 04:00:49,504
.

6415
04:00:49,504 --> 04:00:50,205
Who knows?

6416
04:00:50,205 --> 04:00:51,390
Just the things change or that

6417
04:00:51,390 --> 04:00:53,642
I mean, sure, it gets less

6418
04:00:53,642 --> 04:00:54,375
whatever.

6419
04:00:54,375 --> 04:00:57,375
Yes, This is interesting, Sean.

6420
04:00:58,460 --> 04:00:58,813
Be creative with less Right?

6421
04:00:58,813 --> 04:00:59,414
I mean, don't you guys think

6422
04:00:59,414 --> 04:01:00,348
that you could do that?

6423
04:01:00,348 --> 04:01:03,185
I think that should be an

6424
04:01:03,185 --> 04:01:03,852
ordinance that you guys create.

6425
04:01:03,852 --> 04:01:04,519
You know, I mean because

6426
04:01:04,519 --> 04:01:07,519
the mayor it's like absolute

6427
04:01:07,922 --> 04:01:08,790
power corrupts obviously.

6428
04:01:08,790 --> 04:01:12,661
And then a couple of you guys

6429
04:01:12,661 --> 04:01:13,328
want to be mayor so it'll be

6430
04:01:13,328 --> 04:01:13,695
interesting to see how that

6431
04:01:13,695 --> 04:01:14,328
plays out.

6432
04:01:14,328 --> 04:01:16,798
But wouldn't it be good if

6433
04:01:16,798 --> 04:01:17,498
there was an ordinance for real

6434
04:01:17,498 --> 04:01:18,233
when we have to do with

6435
04:01:18,233 --> 04:01:21,770
the budget that it's like let's

6436
04:01:21,770 --> 04:01:22,637
see how much we can cut back

6437
04:01:22,637 --> 04:01:26,837
your funds and see how much you

6438
04:01:27,175 --> 04:01:27,776
can do with less and I mean I'm

6439
04:01:27,776 --> 04:01:28,243
telling you you guys get

6440
04:01:28,243 --> 04:01:30,243
creative, right?

6441
04:01:32,470 --> 04:01:32,781
Sean Don't you guys feel like

6442
04:01:32,781 --> 04:01:33,181
you could do a lot more with

6443
04:01:33,181 --> 04:01:33,515
less money?

6444
04:01:33,515 --> 04:01:35,515
I do.

6445
04:01:36,717 --> 04:01:37,486
I feel like you guys would be

6446
04:01:37,486 --> 04:01:41,356
very good and you could do like

6447
04:01:41,356 --> 04:01:42,900
a competition where you see who

6448
04:01:42,900 --> 04:01:42,391
you know comes up with the best

6449
04:01:42,391 --> 04:01:44,391
ideas.

6450
04:01:46,280 --> 04:01:46,694
I'm telling you I mean people

6451
04:01:46,694 --> 04:01:47,950
have to do it out in

6452
04:01:47,950 --> 04:01:49,950
the public.

6453
04:01:50,565 --> 04:01:51,366
You could even have a citizen

6454
04:01:51,366 --> 04:01:54,966
board of people that would come

6455
04:01:55,704 --> 04:01:56,371
in and be like This is what we

6456
04:01:56,371 --> 04:01:59,971
could do with less and we'll

6457
04:02:00,441 --> 04:02:01,142
get more with it Telling you

6458
04:02:01,142 --> 04:02:01,876
people like on their budget

6459
04:02:01,876 --> 04:02:02,777
just to go to the grocery store

6460
04:02:02,777 --> 04:02:06,548
it's like I mean you can't buy

6461
04:02:06,548 --> 04:02:07,282
organic but you sure make sure

6462
04:02:07,282 --> 04:02:09,585
I mean I remember being a kid

6463
04:02:09,585 --> 04:02:10,419
and I was like I could live off

6464
04:02:10,419 --> 04:02:10,752
of 20 bucks for a week and I

6465
04:02:10,752 --> 04:02:12,752
did it.

6466
04:02:13,455 --> 04:02:14,156
I mean it's possible So I feel

6467
04:02:14,156 --> 04:02:14,857
like we should be really good

6468
04:02:14,857 --> 04:02:17,857
stewards of the people's money

6469
04:02:19,610 --> 04:02:19,361
and seeing what we can do

6470
04:02:19,361 --> 04:02:20,620
again.

6471
04:02:20,620 --> 04:02:20,429
You guys are going to have to

6472
04:02:20,429 --> 04:02:22,429
take cuts.

6473
04:02:22,931 --> 04:02:23,699
You're not going to be able to

6474
04:02:23,699 --> 04:02:24,366
,you know, wear those fancy

6475
04:02:24,366 --> 04:02:24,666
suits and ride your electric

6476
04:02:24,666 --> 04:02:26,666
bikes.

6477
04:02:28,470 --> 04:02:29,138
But at least the people won't

6478
04:02:29,138 --> 04:02:29,805
be suffering as much, right?

6479
04:02:29,805 --> 04:02:32,805
Because you're not going to

6480
04:02:32,875 --> 04:02:33,341
take as much from us.

6481
04:02:33,341 --> 04:02:34,760
It'll be good.

6482
04:02:34,760 --> 04:02:34,710
I think that that should be

6483
04:02:34,710 --> 04:02:37,212
something you guys work on

6484
04:02:37,212 --> 04:02:37,646
lickety Split and I know you

6485
04:02:37,646 --> 04:02:38,313
well.

6486
04:02:38,313 --> 04:02:38,614
Thank you That include your

6487
04:02:38,614 --> 04:02:40,614
time.

6488
04:02:51,460 --> 04:02:51,829
Next speaker is Anthony Ralphs

6489
04:02:51,829 --> 04:02:52,428
.

6490
04:02:52,428 --> 04:02:53,128
Good afternoon City council.

6491
04:02:53,128 --> 04:02:53,829
Just want to let you know can

6492
04:02:53,829 --> 04:02:56,632
Lee I didn't forget about you.

6493
04:02:56,632 --> 04:02:56,932
I got you these flowers as

6494
04:02:56,932 --> 04:02:57,900
well.

6495
04:02:57,900 --> 04:03:01,103
This is a sign a gesture of

6496
04:03:01,103 --> 04:03:01,603
appreciation for the change of

6497
04:03:01,603 --> 04:03:03,603
position on flock.

6498
04:03:05,273 --> 04:03:06,750
It means a lot to us residents

6499
04:03:06,750 --> 04:03:06,809
in San Diego that you're taking

6500
04:03:06,809 --> 04:03:09,209
our privacy concerns seriously.

6501
04:03:10,678 --> 04:03:11,380
And I know that it was within

6502
04:03:11,380 --> 04:03:11,913
the context of a budget crisis

6503
04:03:11,913 --> 04:03:12,680
that we're still in.

6504
04:03:12,680 --> 04:03:15,718
And I know that you explained

6505
04:03:15,718 --> 04:03:16,419
that given the circumstances,

6506
04:03:16,419 --> 04:03:19,419
if we could afford everything

6507
04:03:20,388 --> 04:03:21,230
you would still prefer to have

6508
04:03:21,230 --> 04:03:21,323
this type of technology in

6509
04:03:21,323 --> 04:03:23,323
place.

6510
04:03:25,600 --> 04:03:25,694
And while that position is

6511
04:03:25,694 --> 04:03:26,395
hopefully one that you'll

6512
04:03:26,395 --> 04:03:28,795
reconsider when you reevaluate

6513
04:03:29,998 --> 04:03:30,666
when you look into all of

6514
04:03:30,666 --> 04:03:34,266
the harm that Floc has been

6515
04:03:34,870 --> 04:03:35,638
causing throughout the city,

6516
04:03:35,638 --> 04:03:36,305
hopefully that can weigh in on

6517
04:03:36,305 --> 04:03:38,705
your mindset moving forward.

6518
04:03:39,341 --> 04:03:39,942
Hopefully it's not just

6519
04:03:39,942 --> 04:03:41,942
something that's solely

6520
04:03:43,712 --> 04:03:44,279
predicated upon the fiscal

6521
04:03:44,279 --> 04:03:44,913
situation that we find

6522
04:03:44,913 --> 04:03:45,680
ourselves in which is only

6523
04:03:45,680 --> 04:03:48,918
going to get worse until we

6524
04:03:48,918 --> 04:03:49,652
address the root systemic

6525
04:03:49,652 --> 04:03:53,252
issues of this problem which is

6526
04:03:53,756 --> 04:03:54,523
a totally unaccountable police

6527
04:03:54,523 --> 04:03:55,224
force and a city council or

6528
04:03:55,224 --> 04:03:58,824
only half of a city council

6529
04:03:58,894 --> 04:03:59,228
that's willing to address that

6530
04:03:59,228 --> 04:03:59,896
problem.

6531
04:03:59,896 --> 04:04:00,529
The other half I'm concerned

6532
04:04:00,529 --> 04:04:02,929
about because they're not

6533
04:04:04,166 --> 04:04:04,800
making eye contact with me and

6534
04:04:04,800 --> 04:04:05,468
I'm addressing them and it

6535
04:04:05,468 --> 04:04:07,870
looks like they're on their

6536
04:04:07,870 --> 04:04:08,537
phones right now as I'm

6537
04:04:08,537 --> 04:04:09,238
speaking to them And it's

6538
04:04:09,238 --> 04:04:11,638
disrespectful And there's a

6539
04:04:14,176 --> 04:04:14,810
number of council members that

6540
04:04:14,810 --> 04:04:15,478
aren't even here right now

6541
04:04:15,478 --> 04:04:17,878
including Marni von Wilpert.

6542
04:04:18,280 --> 04:04:19,140
And I know that this is

6543
04:04:19,140 --> 04:04:19,481
something that's frustrated you

6544
04:04:19,481 --> 04:04:20,149
LaCava as well.

6545
04:04:20,149 --> 04:04:22,549
You've mentioned it multiple

6546
04:04:23,486 --> 04:04:24,120
times It's it's disrespect for

6547
04:04:24,120 --> 04:04:24,620
the people of San Diego to

6548
04:04:24,620 --> 04:04:26,620
the constituents.

6549
04:04:28,558 --> 04:04:29,325
You know y'all are being paid

6550
04:04:29,325 --> 04:04:30,126
well and we spend a lot of our

6551
04:04:30,126 --> 04:04:33,620
time and a lot of our money to

6552
04:04:33,620 --> 04:04:33,762
come out here and to have these

6553
04:04:33,762 --> 04:04:34,530
two minutes to be able to

6554
04:04:34,530 --> 04:04:38,130
address you and the least that

6555
04:04:38,134 --> 04:04:38,768
y'all can do is look at us and

6556
04:04:38,768 --> 04:04:41,768
make eye contact with us.

6557
04:04:42,372 --> 04:04:43,720
MISS Campbell MR. Whitburn, as

6558
04:04:43,720 --> 04:04:45,472
we're addressing you directly

6559
04:04:47,610 --> 04:04:48,770
thank you.

6560
04:04:48,770 --> 04:04:48,745
Thank you.

6561
04:04:48,745 --> 04:04:51,145
That does conclude in-person

6562
04:04:51,680 --> 04:04:52,515
public comment.

6563
04:04:52,515 --> 04:04:52,982
We will now turn to virtual

6564
04:04:52,982 --> 04:04:54,982
public comment.

6565
04:04:55,485 --> 04:04:56,219
I've started the five minute

6566
04:04:56,219 --> 04:04:59,819
timer in the committee room and

6567
04:05:00,623 --> 04:05:01,257
there are currently there is

6568
04:05:01,257 --> 04:05:01,791
currently one participant

6569
04:05:01,791 --> 04:05:03,791
requesting to speak.

6570
04:05:06,620 --> 04:05:08,998
So we will go to caller with

6571
04:05:08,998 --> 04:05:11,398
the last four digits 8700

6572
04:05:13,602 --> 04:05:14,103
please begin.

6573
04:05:14,103 --> 04:05:15,138
Thank you.

6574
04:05:15,138 --> 04:05:18,440
First off point for just a few

6575
04:05:18,440 --> 04:05:19,142
seconds.

6576
04:05:19,142 --> 04:05:22,142
Thank you, PRESIDENT Lacob for

6577
04:05:23,379 --> 04:05:26,379
giving me the clarity on

6578
04:05:28,551 --> 04:05:29,850
the sdb sdg Any item that we

6579
04:05:29,850 --> 04:05:31,850
really appreciated.

6580
04:05:32,555 --> 04:05:33,322
And then Councilmember Marino.

6581
04:05:33,322 --> 04:05:35,722
Five stars for that

6582
04:05:37,960 --> 04:05:38,695
storytelling.

6583
04:05:38,695 --> 04:05:39,161
Does everybody notice the power

6584
04:05:39,161 --> 04:05:41,161
of storytelling?

6585
04:05:43,366 --> 04:05:46,966
That was an example on me

6586
04:05:47,503 --> 04:05:47,970
picking up the trash story That

6587
04:05:47,970 --> 04:05:48,271
was five stars.

6588
04:05:48,271 --> 04:05:50,271
Okay.

6589
04:05:52,275 --> 04:05:55,875
So on the item itself please

6590
04:05:57,647 --> 04:05:58,381
let's work on open

6591
04:05:58,381 --> 04:06:00,381
communication and collaboration

6592
04:06:02,519 --> 04:06:02,919
between all branches of

6593
04:06:02,919 --> 04:06:03,219
government.

6594
04:06:03,219 --> 04:06:03,987
Okay.

6595
04:06:03,987 --> 04:06:08,187
I think this is a very, very

6596
04:06:08,625 --> 04:06:09,492
important it's kind of a dicey

6597
04:06:09,492 --> 04:06:13,960
I have an item to me for some

6598
04:06:13,960 --> 04:06:13,496
reason but I want that kind of

6599
04:06:13,496 --> 04:06:14,130
improvement.

6600
04:06:14,130 --> 04:06:14,430
The public really deserves

6601
04:06:14,430 --> 04:06:16,430
that.

6602
04:06:17,701 --> 04:06:21,901
Now on the update with the item

6603
04:06:23,139 --> 04:06:23,806
involving c, d, b, g a little

6604
04:06:23,806 --> 04:06:24,474
concern on the project, this

6605
04:06:24,474 --> 04:06:27,577
goes way back with me when I

6606
04:06:27,577 --> 04:06:31,715
used to really put time in on

6607
04:06:31,715 --> 04:06:32,415
that some of the projects fail

6608
04:06:32,415 --> 04:06:33,116
and I can't remember if

6609
04:06:33,116 --> 04:06:35,516
the training was inappropriate

6610
04:06:36,253 --> 04:06:36,720
or the application was

6611
04:06:36,720 --> 04:06:37,421
inappropriate.

6612
04:06:37,421 --> 04:06:41,210
But let's make sure that we're

6613
04:06:42,325 --> 04:06:42,993
handling all those projects for

6614
04:06:42,993 --> 04:06:43,693
those wonderful people that

6615
04:06:43,693 --> 04:06:44,528
want to do them And I think a

6616
04:06:44,528 --> 04:06:48,128
lot of them are low income

6617
04:06:48,198 --> 04:06:48,498
people having a dream come

6618
04:06:48,498 --> 04:06:50,498
true.

6619
04:06:53,103 --> 04:06:53,803
So I don't know exactly how I'm

6620
04:06:53,803 --> 04:06:54,504
saying that in the right way

6621
04:06:54,504 --> 04:06:55,339
but if I'm helping I hope so.

6622
04:06:55,339 --> 04:06:58,175
And then one thing I hope you

6623
04:06:58,175 --> 04:06:58,809

the structural budget deficit,

6740
04:10:26,784 --> 04:10:28,784
adjustment factor.

6759
04:11:02,420 --> 04:11:03,188
As a result, not all city

6760
04:11:03,188 --> 04:11:06,188

the prior year's tax

6775
04:11:34,520 --> 04:11:34,752

assessed valuation in new

6781
04:11:45,697 --> 04:11:46,398
nonresidential construction and

6782
04:11:46,398 --> 04:11:46,964
the population factor based on

6783
04:11:46,964 --> 04:11:49,364
the percent growth in

6784
04:11:51,169 --> 04:11:51,837
the city's population.

6785
04:11:51,837 --> 04:11:54,837
And this results in an

6786
04:11:56,700 --> 04:11:56,341
adjustment factor of 1.1168 or

6787
04:11:56,341 --> 04:11:57,420
11.68%.

6788
04:11:57,420 --> 04:12:00,420
The adjustment factor is then

6789
04:12:01,813 --> 04:12:02,481
applied to the previous year's

6790
04:12:02,481 --> 04:12:04,481
appropriations limit of 6.29

6791
04:12:06,830 --> 04:12:06,718
billion resulting in a fiscal

6792
04:12:06,718 --> 04:12:07,319
year 27 tax appropriations

6793
04:12:07,319 --> 04:12:09,319
limit of 7.03 billion.

6794
04:12:12,190 --> 04:12:15,190
And again this is an 11.68%

6795
04:12:16,928 --> 04:12:17,595
increase over the fiscal year

6796
04:12:17,595 --> 04:12:18,363
26 tax appropriations limit.

6797
04:12:18,363 --> 04:12:21,963
I will note the fiscal year 26

6798
04:12:22,734 --> 04:12:25,134
tax appropriations limit was

6799
04:12:27,539 --> 04:12:28,239
revised from 6.24 billion to

6800
04:12:28,239 --> 04:12:28,840
6.29 billion following receipt

6801
04:12:28,840 --> 04:12:29,440
of a revised report from

6802
04:12:29,440 --> 04:12:30,410
the county which made a

6803
04:12:30,410 --> 04:12:32,441
correction to the city's

6804
04:12:33,444 --> 04:12:34,112
assessed valuation of

6805
04:12:34,112 --> 04:12:34,646
nonresidential construction

6806
04:12:34,646 --> 04:12:35,380
from the prior year.

6807
04:12:35,380 --> 04:12:38,980
And this revision has no impact

6808
04:12:39,484 --> 04:12:40,185
on the city's compliance with

6809
04:12:40,185 --> 04:12:42,585
the tax appropriations limit.

6810
04:12:44,589 --> 04:12:45,190
The fiscal year 27 tax

6811
04:12:45,190 --> 04:12:45,923
appropriations limit is

6812
04:12:45,923 --> 04:12:48,923
calculated to be 7.03 billion a

6813
04:12:50,729 --> 04:12:51,362
total adjusted appropriations

6814
04:12:51,362 --> 04:12:54,362
subject to this limit for

6815
04:12:55,400 --> 04:12:56,168
fiscal year 27 is 1.71 billion.

6816
04:12:56,168 --> 04:12:56,735
As a result, the fiscal year 27

6817
04:12:56,735 --> 04:12:58,735
tax appropriations are

6818
04:13:01,106 --> 04:13:01,607
projected to be below the limit

6819
04:13:01,607 --> 04:13:02,274
by 5.32 billion.

6820
04:13:02,274 --> 04:13:02,975
Staff's recommendation is to

6821
04:13:02,975 --> 04:13:05,375
approve the resolution to

6822
04:13:07,178 --> 04:13:07,813
establish a tax appropriations

6823
04:13:07,813 --> 04:13:08,280
limit of 7.03 billion for

6824
04:13:08,280 --> 04:13:10,280
fiscal year 27.

6825
04:13:13,719 --> 04:13:14,486
That concludes our presentation

6826
04:13:14,486 --> 04:13:15,870
and we're happy to answer any

6827
04:13:15,870 --> 04:13:15,520
questions you MAY have.

6828
04:13:15,520 --> 04:13:16,221
>> All right.

6829
04:13:16,221 --> 04:13:16,655
Thank you for the presentation

6830
04:13:16,655 --> 04:13:17,256
and the work.

6831
04:13:17,256 --> 04:13:20,920
I'll now turn it over to

6832
04:13:20,920 --> 04:13:20,459
the office of the ipa for

6833
04:13:20,459 --> 04:13:20,759
comments.

6834
04:13:20,759 --> 04:13:21,427
Great.

6835
04:13:21,427 --> 04:13:22,127
Thank you Council PRESIDENT,

6836
04:13:22,127 --> 04:13:22,795
council members and thank you

6837
04:13:22,795 --> 04:13:25,195
again for the presentation.

6838
04:13:25,498 --> 04:13:26,232
So this is really a routine

6839
04:13:26,232 --> 04:13:26,965
item that we take up every year

6840
04:13:26,965 --> 04:13:27,700
but it is worth taking a moment

6841
04:13:27,700 --> 04:13:31,700
to talk about what the gambling

6842
04:13:31,700 --> 04:13:31,737
bit tells us about the city's

6843
04:13:31,737 --> 04:13:32,404
overall level of resources.

6844
04:13:32,404 --> 04:13:35,541
As you heard, the gang limit

6845
04:13:35,541 --> 04:13:36,175
was established by 1979 a

6846
04:13:36,175 --> 04:13:36,876
statewide measure that was

6847
04:13:36,876 --> 04:13:37,543
implemented in 1980 and it set

6848
04:13:37,543 --> 04:13:41,447
a cap on the total amount of

6849
04:13:41,447 --> 04:13:42,181
tax revenue that the state as

6850
04:13:42,181 --> 04:13:42,815
well as any local government in

6851
04:13:42,815 --> 04:13:43,516
the state can appropriate.

6852
04:13:43,516 --> 04:13:47,352
And it tied that cap to actual

6853
04:13:47,352 --> 04:13:48,870
tax appropriations in 1979.

6854
04:13:48,870 --> 04:13:48,754
Again, as you heard, the limit

6855
04:13:48,754 --> 04:13:52,354
can be adjusted each year by

6856
04:13:53,425 --> 04:13:53,925
using several factors growth

6857
04:13:53,925 --> 04:13:54,627
and income growth

6858
04:13:54,627 --> 04:13:55,327
nonresidential assessed value

6859
04:13:55,327 --> 04:13:55,928
growth from the population of

6860
04:13:55,928 --> 04:13:58,928
the city of the county.

6861
04:13:59,131 --> 04:13:59,732
And this was done to recognize

6862
04:13:59,732 --> 04:14:00,399
that inflation exists in

6863
04:14:00,399 --> 04:14:01,100
the city's growth but still

6864
04:14:01,100 --> 04:14:03,500
with the underlying intention

6865
04:14:06,400 --> 04:14:06,605
of holding tax revenue near or

6866
04:14:06,605 --> 04:14:07,340
below those 1979 levels.

6867
04:14:07,340 --> 04:14:10,940
The adjustment to the gan limit

6868
04:14:11,444 --> 04:14:12,144
that you just heard would bring

6869
04:14:12,144 --> 04:14:12,545
the city's limit to just over

6870
04:14:12,545 --> 04:14:13,312
$7 billion.

6871
04:14:13,312 --> 04:14:16,912
Our actual tax revenue that is

6872
04:14:17,750 --> 04:14:18,417
subject to the gambling it for

6873
04:14:18,417 --> 04:14:19,510
the upcoming fiscal year is

6874
04:14:19,510 --> 04:14:21,510
estimated at $1.7 billion.

6875
04:14:23,656 --> 04:14:24,357
This tells us something about

6876
04:14:24,357 --> 04:14:24,991
our resources and this will be

6877
04:14:24,991 --> 04:14:27,391
inexact because the city's

6878
04:14:29,628 --> 04:14:30,262
economy does not precisely

6879
04:14:30,262 --> 04:14:30,963
track the four adjustment

6880
04:14:30,963 --> 04:14:31,597
factors in the city generally

6881
04:14:31,597 --> 04:14:32,297
uses the largest possible

6882
04:14:32,297 --> 04:14:32,665
factor One of three calculates

6883
04:14:32,665 --> 04:14:34,665
the limit.

6884
04:14:35,901 --> 04:14:36,269
But it's a very rough

6885
04:14:36,269 --> 04:14:36,936
shorthand.

6886
04:14:36,936 --> 04:14:38,936
The $5.3 billion difference

6887
04:14:41,390 --> 04:14:41,707
between our actual tax revenues

6888
04:14:41,707 --> 04:14:42,408
and the updated gambling It

6889
04:14:42,408 --> 04:14:45,408
illustrate that if the city's

6890
04:14:46,679 --> 04:14:47,312
tax revenues simply kept pace

6891
04:14:47,312 --> 04:14:47,981
since 1980 with growth in

6892
04:14:47,981 --> 04:14:50,381
income, property values and

6893
04:14:50,415 --> 04:14:51,117
population, the city would be

6894
04:14:51,117 --> 04:14:51,784
collecting roughly four times

6895
04:14:51,784 --> 04:14:52,830
the tax revenue that it does

6896
04:14:52,830 --> 04:14:54,830
today.

6897
04:14:55,688 --> 04:14:56,355
And this gap is one of the real

6898
04:14:56,355 --> 04:14:57,900
reasons that the investments

6899
04:14:57,900 --> 04:15:00,292
the city made in its operations

6900
04:15:00,292 --> 04:15:00,893
and the infrastructure 45 years

6901
04:15:00,893 --> 04:15:01,527
ago were in many cases

6902
04:15:01,527 --> 04:15:02,194
significantly larger than

6903
04:15:02,194 --> 04:15:02,562
the investments that it can

6904
04:15:02,562 --> 04:15:04,562
make now.

6905
04:15:06,132 --> 04:15:06,799
Now the constraints on

6906
04:15:06,799 --> 04:15:07,400
the city's resources are not

6907
04:15:07,400 --> 04:15:08,101
caused by the gambling.

6908
04:15:08,101 --> 04:15:08,801
They're instead the result of

6909
04:15:08,801 --> 04:15:11,737
how the city raises money and

6910
04:15:11,737 --> 04:15:12,710
what voters are willing to

6911
04:15:12,710 --> 04:15:12,807
approve.

6912
04:15:12,807 --> 04:15:13,439
But this annual item is a

6913
04:15:13,439 --> 04:15:14,730
useful reminder of the gap

6914
04:15:14,730 --> 04:15:17,730
between what the city once

6915
04:15:19,112 --> 04:15:19,812
invested in itself and what it

6916
04:15:19,812 --> 04:15:20,546
can afford to invest it today.

6917
04:15:20,546 --> 04:15:23,546
And this should also complicate

6918
04:15:23,583 --> 04:15:24,283
any notion that the city's

6919
04:15:24,283 --> 04:15:24,817
current budget issues are

6920
04:15:24,817 --> 04:15:25,418
simply the result of

6921
04:15:25,418 --> 04:15:27,418
overspending instead of

6922
04:15:30,890 --> 04:15:30,890
the larger part of that story

6923
04:15:30,890 --> 04:15:31,491
is that tax revenues have not

6924
04:15:31,491 --> 04:15:32,258
kept pace with growth of

6925
04:15:32,258 --> 04:15:36,329
the city or with the cost of

6926
04:15:36,329 --> 04:15:36,996
demands for programs and

6927
04:15:36,996 --> 04:15:37,563
infrastructure in the city.

6928
04:15:37,563 --> 04:15:38,231
We've just moved past

6929
04:15:38,231 --> 04:15:41,231
the adoption of a difficult

6930
04:15:42,535 --> 04:15:43,302
budget but it is worth keeping

6931
04:15:43,302 --> 04:15:43,970
this gap in mind as we go

6932
04:15:43,970 --> 04:15:44,503
through the rest of the year

6933
04:15:44,503 --> 04:15:45,204
and continue to have

6934
04:15:45,204 --> 04:15:47,604
discussions about the programs

6935
04:15:48,675 --> 04:15:49,241
and policies that this Council

6936
04:15:49,241 --> 04:15:49,609
would like to pursue.

6937
04:15:49,609 --> 04:15:50,110
Thank you.

6938
04:15:50,110 --> 04:15:50,477
Council PRESIDENT.

6939
04:15:50,477 --> 04:15:51,100
All right.

6940
04:15:51,100 --> 04:15:51,578
Thank you, Charles.

6941
04:15:51,578 --> 04:15:53,578
Always appreciate your

6942
04:15:53,846 --> 04:15:54,514
perspective.

6943
04:15:54,514 --> 04:15:55,147
And with that Deputy clerk,

6944
04:15:55,147 --> 04:15:55,481
please proceed with public

6945
04:15:55,481 --> 04:15:55,849
comment.

6946
04:15:55,849 --> 04:15:57,849
Thank you.

6947
04:16:00,754 --> 04:16:01,454
Council PRESIDENT We will begin

6948
04:16:01,454 --> 04:16:02,550
with in-person public comment.

6949
04:16:02,550 --> 04:16:02,389
Next minute please come

6950
04:16:02,389 --> 04:16:03,222
forward.

6951
04:16:03,222 --> 04:16:06,222
You'll have two minutes to

6952
04:16:09,329 --> 04:16:11,329
speak on.

6953
04:16:15,435 --> 04:16:16,236
I just want to say I was at

6954
04:16:16,236 --> 04:16:19,236
City Hall when they had

6955
04:16:20,500 --> 04:16:20,707
the fiscal year 2027 budget

6956
04:16:20,707 --> 04:16:21,374
finalized and it was a big

6957
04:16:21,374 --> 04:16:24,974
crowded day at city hall And

6958
04:16:26,120 --> 04:16:26,680
then now we have these final

6959
04:16:26,680 --> 04:16:26,980
two ordinances finalizing it

6960
04:16:26,980 --> 04:16:28,980
again.

6961
04:16:31,884 --> 04:16:32,585
And then I just want to say

6962
04:16:32,585 --> 04:16:33,186
that it's very interesting to

6963
04:16:33,186 --> 04:16:36,186
me that after the it's

6964
04:16:38,191 --> 04:16:38,825
finalized and we have the tax

6965
04:16:38,825 --> 04:16:39,159
revenue is stated at $1.7

6966
04:16:39,159 --> 04:16:41,159
billion.

6967
04:16:44,363 --> 04:16:45,650
It's very item three three to

6968
04:16:45,650 --> 04:16:45,364
the limit is very interesting

6969
04:16:45,364 --> 04:16:47,364
to me.

6970
04:16:49,602 --> 04:16:50,370
And the reason why is because

6971
04:16:50,370 --> 04:16:53,970
it's on just this kind of

6972
04:17:00,246 --> 04:17:01,140
random number of $7 billion and

6973
04:17:01,140 --> 04:17:01,480
on there $5 billion underneath

6974
04:17:01,480 --> 04:17:02,215
underneath that.

6975
04:17:02,215 --> 04:17:06,415
And I just want to say it's

6976
04:17:07,120 --> 04:17:07,756
just kind of interesting to

6977
04:17:07,756 --> 04:17:08,388
have this information item

6978
04:17:08,388 --> 04:17:09,122
right after everything is

6979
04:17:09,122 --> 04:17:13,930
finalized to say oh by the way,

6980
04:17:13,930 --> 04:17:13,960
there's a limit to how much

6981
04:17:13,960 --> 04:17:17,263
revenue we can make and it's 7

6982
04:17:17,263 --> 04:17:17,798
billion when when the revenue

6983
04:17:17,798 --> 04:17:18,532
is only 1.7 billion.

6984
04:17:18,532 --> 04:17:21,532
And the reason it's interesting

6985
04:17:22,602 --> 04:17:23,337
to me is the Chinese communist

6986
04:17:23,337 --> 04:17:24,710
Party has something called ten

6987
04:17:24,710 --> 04:17:27,671
year and 20 year plans laid out

6988
04:17:29,900 --> 04:17:29,710
And to me it almost reminds me

6989
04:17:29,710 --> 04:17:30,410
of something that the Chinese

6990
04:17:30,410 --> 04:17:32,810
Chinese Communist Party would

6991
04:17:34,515 --> 04:17:35,182
do as a ten year plan and

6992
04:17:35,182 --> 04:17:37,582
the gang limit presentation

6993
04:17:39,553 --> 04:17:40,287
even said that on revenues that

6994
04:17:40,287 --> 04:17:40,988
the revenues are not keeping up

6995
04:17:40,988 --> 04:17:44,588
with city growth and they want

6996
04:17:45,192 --> 04:17:45,859
revenues to be higher.

6997
04:17:45,859 --> 04:17:46,426
And I just can't imagine

6998
04:17:46,426 --> 04:17:47,127
the financial hardship

6999
04:17:47,127 --> 04:17:50,727
the people of San Diego would

7000
04:17:51,965 --> 04:17:52,765
have if if the gang limit was

7001
04:17:52,765 --> 04:17:55,765
reached this year and we

7002
04:17:56,170 --> 04:17:58,570
actually had $7 billion in

7003
04:18:03,430 --> 04:18:03,743
revenue all taxed on it just it

7004
04:18:03,743 --> 04:18:04,444
just almost seems like a very

7005
04:18:04,444 --> 04:18:07,444
interesting thing to have this

7006
04:18:08,382 --> 04:18:09,490
random gang limit after

7007
04:18:09,490 --> 04:18:11,449
the budget finalized Almost

7008
04:18:15,289 --> 04:18:15,990
seems like a a plan of sorts to

7009
04:18:15,990 --> 04:18:16,590
try to increase thinking that

7010
04:18:16,590 --> 04:18:18,990
does conclude your time

7011
04:18:26,435 --> 04:18:27,340
allegedly order the surely is

7012
04:18:27,340 --> 04:18:29,340
interesting never really

7013
04:18:31,939 --> 04:18:32,673
understood it before you get

7014
04:18:32,673 --> 04:18:33,373
really good education come into

7015
04:18:33,373 --> 04:18:36,373
meetings like this That's why

7016
04:18:37,478 --> 04:18:38,179
people should pay attention.

7017
04:18:38,179 --> 04:18:38,879
But it's interesting that you

7018
04:18:38,879 --> 04:18:43,790
set the limit of like how much

7019
04:18:44,318 --> 04:18:45,520
you guys can spend.

7020
04:18:45,520 --> 04:18:45,752
Like what if your children were

7021
04:18:45,752 --> 04:18:46,420
like I'm going to tell you how

7022
04:18:46,420 --> 04:18:47,121
much you can spend on me and

7023
04:18:47,121 --> 04:18:50,570
it's like a billion bucks and

7024
04:18:50,570 --> 04:18:50,758
you better spend it And if you

7025
04:18:50,758 --> 04:18:51,459
don't you better give me that

7026
04:18:51,459 --> 04:18:52,126
money back, you know, because

7027
04:18:52,126 --> 04:18:55,126
you guys it's like obviously

7028
04:18:56,970 --> 04:18:56,864
you're going to come in below

7029
04:18:56,864 --> 04:18:57,665
that but it makes it look good

7030
04:18:57,665 --> 04:19:01,265
that like we're coming in below

7031
04:19:01,535 --> 04:19:02,169
our limit And it's just

7032
04:19:02,169 --> 04:19:02,869
interesting to see the way

7033
04:19:02,869 --> 04:19:03,537
the government works how it's

7034
04:19:03,537 --> 04:19:07,137
like you know, you set your

7035
04:19:08,442 --> 04:19:09,142
policies and like you want to

7036
04:19:09,142 --> 04:19:12,142
keep people in compliance with

7037
04:19:13,646 --> 04:19:14,315
your policies but doesn't

7038
04:19:14,315 --> 04:19:14,648
really matter if they break

7039
04:19:14,648 --> 04:19:15,382
the law.

7040
04:19:15,382 --> 04:19:16,820
It's like you can break the law

7041
04:19:16,820 --> 04:19:19,420
but just follow the policy and

7042
04:19:19,420 --> 04:19:20,121
like we'll do all this nonsense

7043
04:19:20,121 --> 04:19:20,654
to pretend like we're holding

7044
04:19:20,654 --> 04:19:22,654
people accountable.

7045
04:19:24,926 --> 04:19:25,626
It's just you know But when

7046
04:19:25,626 --> 04:19:26,360
you're setting your own limits

7047
04:19:26,360 --> 04:19:26,994
I mean like you're going to set

7048
04:19:26,994 --> 04:19:27,527
it to a place where you're

7049
04:19:27,527 --> 04:19:29,927
going to exceed it.

7050
04:19:30,531 --> 04:19:30,932
I mean obviously you would not

7051
04:19:30,932 --> 04:19:31,799
be stupid.

7052
04:19:31,799 --> 04:19:35,999
I mean but it's also sad to

7053
04:19:36,704 --> 04:19:37,371
see, you know, people come in

7054
04:19:37,371 --> 04:19:40,971
and give you guys, you know,

7055
04:19:43,310 --> 04:19:44,111
accolades and appreciation for

7056
04:19:44,111 --> 04:19:44,679
votes and you know, I'm used to

7057
04:19:44,679 --> 04:19:45,212
you guys not looking.

7058
04:19:45,212 --> 04:19:47,612
It's like it's fine.

7059
04:19:49,984 --> 04:19:50,718
I mean enjoy do appreciate even

7060
04:19:50,718 --> 04:19:51,419
though half the time your faces

7061
04:19:51,419 --> 04:19:52,152
are kind of funny because but

7062
04:19:52,152 --> 04:19:55,152
you're you're you're you're not

7063
04:19:55,856 --> 04:19:56,523
on your phone you know you're

7064
04:19:56,523 --> 04:19:57,224
you're sometimes I feel like

7065
04:19:57,224 --> 04:19:57,925
you're in la la land It's okay

7066
04:19:57,925 --> 04:20:00,925
but you're you're you know

7067
04:20:01,595 --> 04:20:02,330
listening which you can get

7068
04:20:02,330 --> 04:20:03,300
into that mode But it's like I

7069
04:20:03,300 --> 04:20:06,630
mean if you guys treated your

7070
04:20:07,268 --> 04:20:07,969
or if your staff treated you

7071
04:20:07,969 --> 04:20:08,636
this way if your staff while

7072
04:20:08,636 --> 04:20:09,370
you were talking to them was

7073
04:20:09,370 --> 04:20:12,840
looking down on their phone you

7074
04:20:12,840 --> 04:20:13,675
would fire them immediately.

7075
04:20:13,675 --> 04:20:14,642
You wouldn't put up with it.

7076
04:20:14,642 --> 04:20:18,242
But yet people we pay your

7077
04:20:19,180 --> 04:20:19,881
paycheck and you guys can't

7078
04:20:19,881 --> 04:20:20,548
even give people the courtesy

7079
04:20:20,548 --> 04:20:24,148
of even saying thank you for

7080
04:20:24,885 --> 04:20:25,787
something like that.

7081
04:20:25,787 --> 04:20:26,860
I mean he didn't have to do

7082
04:20:26,860 --> 04:20:26,821
that.

7083
04:20:26,821 --> 04:20:27,555
He spent his own money doing it

7084
04:20:27,555 --> 04:20:30,524
And just the fact that you guys

7085
04:20:30,524 --> 04:20:31,192
don't even acknowledge it just

7086
04:20:31,192 --> 04:20:34,192
shows you that doesn't work

7087
04:20:36,864 --> 04:20:37,598
with your time.

7088
04:20:37,598 --> 04:20:38,268
I have started the five minute

7089
04:20:38,268 --> 04:20:38,900
timer in the committee room.

7090
04:20:38,900 --> 04:20:41,900
We'll now turn to virtual

7091
04:20:42,770 --> 04:20:43,338
the virtual queue which there

7092
04:20:43,338 --> 04:20:43,972
are currently just one

7093
04:20:43,972 --> 04:20:44,272
participant requesting to

7094
04:20:44,272 --> 04:20:46,272
speak.

7095
04:20:48,810 --> 04:20:49,511
So we will begin with caller

7096
04:20:49,511 --> 04:20:52,511
with the last four digits 8700

7097
04:20:54,115 --> 04:20:56,115
please begin.

7098
04:20:59,820 --> 04:21:00,588
Thank you.

7099
04:21:00,588 --> 04:21:00,989
Excuse me a deputy city Clerk

7100
04:21:00,989 --> 04:21:01,489
Two minutes.

7101
04:21:01,489 --> 04:21:03,489
Yes, two minutes.

7102
04:21:06,861 --> 04:21:08,861
Thank you Joy.

7103
04:21:11,565 --> 04:21:12,434
Assuming I've never spoken on

7104
04:21:12,434 --> 04:21:16,634
this item and I wasn't going to

7105
04:21:17,906 --> 04:21:18,773
speak So this is off the top of

7106
04:21:18,773 --> 04:21:22,843
my head and in what MAY be

7107
04:21:22,843 --> 04:21:27,430
pressed or nine is our idea or

7108
04:21:28,160 --> 04:21:28,783
great idea.

7109
04:21:28,783 --> 04:21:31,783
Monica Monica speaking And you

7110
04:21:34,356 --> 04:21:35,390
spoke beautifully.

7111
04:21:35,390 --> 04:21:40,190
I want to add to it because we

7112
04:21:40,862 --> 04:21:41,530
have a structural budget

7113
04:21:41,530 --> 04:21:44,530
deficit and it does involve

7114
04:21:46,835 --> 04:21:47,502
overspending and it's out of

7115
04:21:47,502 --> 04:21:48,236
balance and it's replicating

7116
04:21:48,236 --> 04:21:51,836
itself for 20 or more years And

7117
04:21:53,308 --> 04:21:54,420
we're like a journal stuck on a

7118
04:21:54,420 --> 04:21:54,742
wheel going round and round and

7119
04:21:54,742 --> 04:21:58,342
round and round again And I'm

7120
04:21:58,747 --> 04:21:59,481
looking forward to speaking

7121
04:21:59,481 --> 04:22:03,810
with all of you maybe tomorrow

7122
04:22:04,618 --> 04:22:05,320
if I get energy about the time

7123
04:22:05,320 --> 04:22:06,540
of reckoning which has to do

7124
04:22:06,540 --> 04:22:09,654
with the people who didn't vote

7125
04:22:10,424 --> 04:22:11,126
on the sales tax measures,

7126
04:22:11,126 --> 04:22:15,326
the recent one and we need to

7127
04:22:15,930 --> 04:22:16,632
listen to them because they're

7128
04:22:16,632 --> 04:22:19,632
telling us we're not spending

7129
04:22:21,536 --> 04:22:22,103
our money correctly.

7130
04:22:22,103 --> 04:22:22,804
We are overspending.

7131
04:22:22,804 --> 04:22:25,804
I know what's more complicated

7132
04:22:28,744 --> 04:22:29,144
than that And I just thank you

7133
04:22:29,144 --> 04:22:29,911
,Monica.

7134
04:22:29,911 --> 04:22:33,511
That was beautifully said But I

7135
04:22:34,716 --> 04:22:35,417
think we need to tweak it a

7136
04:22:35,417 --> 04:22:36,840
little bit And I'm really

7137
04:22:36,840 --> 04:22:36,785
there's a great article from

7138
04:22:36,785 --> 04:22:40,188
the u-t on It's got the word

7139
04:22:40,188 --> 04:22:40,928
reckoning in it for our city

7140
04:22:40,928 --> 04:22:45,128
and the people are saying no to

7141
04:22:46,261 --> 04:22:46,962
our things So I'm going to

7142
04:22:46,962 --> 04:22:47,328
really try to work on that for

7143
04:22:47,328 --> 04:22:48,630
tomorrow.

7144
04:22:48,630 --> 04:22:51,630
Anyway, thank you for listening

7145
04:22:52,967 --> 04:22:53,802
Always a great day.

7146
04:22:53,802 --> 04:22:54,169
We have one more love to all.

7147
04:22:54,169 --> 04:22:56,169
Thank you.

7148
04:22:58,573 --> 04:22:59,740
That concludes public testimony

7149
04:22:59,740 --> 04:22:59,608
on item 332.

7150
04:22:59,608 --> 04:23:00,208
>> All right.

7151
04:23:00,208 --> 04:23:00,909
Thank you, Deputy Clerk.

7152
04:23:00,909 --> 04:23:04,509
With that we'll turn over to

7153
04:23:05,347 --> 04:23:05,714
the council members for

7154
04:23:05,714 --> 04:23:06,447
questions.

7155
04:23:06,447 --> 04:23:07,182
Comments Entertain a motion and

7156
04:23:07,182 --> 04:23:07,616
we'll start with council member

7157
04:23:07,616 --> 04:23:09,616
You Thank you.

7158
04:23:11,753 --> 04:23:12,487
Council PRESIDENT I think you

7159
04:23:12,487 --> 04:23:13,122
members of the public for their

7160
04:23:13,122 --> 04:23:13,589
participation this item of

7161
04:23:13,589 --> 04:23:14,550
approval of such

7162
04:23:14,550 --> 04:23:16,550
recommendation.

7163
04:23:16,325 --> 04:23:17,192
>> All right.

7164
04:23:17,192 --> 04:23:17,626
We have a motion by Council

7165
04:23:17,626 --> 04:23:18,393
member Campo.

7166
04:23:18,393 --> 04:23:21,230
We'll go next to Council Member

7167
04:23:21,230 --> 04:23:21,997
Foster a second by Council

7168
04:23:21,997 --> 04:23:26,197
member foster So we do have a

7169
04:23:26,435 --> 04:23:27,170
motion by Council kennedy a

7170
04:23:27,170 --> 04:23:27,870
second by Council member Foster

7171
04:23:27,870 --> 04:23:28,570
I don't think I throw in that

7172
04:23:28,570 --> 04:23:29,238
the element please correct me

7173
04:23:29,238 --> 04:23:32,508
if I'm wrong was actually a

7174
04:23:32,508 --> 04:23:33,175
voter approved So we're just

7175
04:23:33,175 --> 04:23:33,509
following the voter approved

7176
04:23:33,509 --> 04:23:33,976
measure.

7177
04:23:33,976 --> 04:23:35,976
That's correct.

7178
04:23:37,479 --> 04:23:38,214
It's probably like 218 There's

7179
04:23:38,214 --> 04:23:38,847
a lot of reasons to be a little

7180
04:23:38,847 --> 04:23:39,481
frustrated by it But until

7181
04:23:39,481 --> 04:23:42,481
there's a new vote and

7182
04:23:43,919 --> 04:23:44,620
repositioning that legislation

7183
04:23:44,620 --> 04:23:45,200
with that we just have to

7184
04:23:45,200 --> 04:23:45,487
follow that.

7185
04:23:45,487 --> 04:23:47,487
>> So all right.

7186
04:23:50,159 --> 04:23:50,859
We have a motion by Council

7187
04:23:50,859 --> 04:23:51,427
member Kennedy on a second by

7188
04:23:51,427 --> 04:23:52,127
Council member Foster.

7189
04:23:52,127 --> 04:23:52,828
I think as you've seen we have

7190
04:23:52,828 --> 04:23:55,664
a little glitch in the voting

7191
04:23:55,664 --> 04:23:56,432
system of the tally system.

7192
04:23:56,432 --> 04:23:56,832
So all in favor say aye.

7193
04:23:56,832 --> 04:23:58,832
All right.

7194
04:24:05,741 --> 04:24:06,241
And he opposed and was that of

7195
04:24:06,241 --> 04:24:08,241
no council member.

7196
04:24:10,279 --> 04:24:10,979
You know what I pay attention

7197
04:24:10,979 --> 04:24:14,579
to the audience So that passes

7198
04:24:16,284 --> 04:24:16,952
8 to 0 with District five

7199
04:24:16,952 --> 04:24:19,352

We are here to present

7222
04:24:52,287 --> 04:24:52,655

7223
04:24:52,655 --> 04:24:54,655

All right when you're ready.

7226
04:24:57,526 --> 04:24:59,926
The tax rate ordinance

7227
04:25:01,664 --> 04:25:02,364
establishes a tax levy for

7228
04:25:02,364 --> 04:25:03,320
the maintenance of the logical

7229
04:25:03,320 --> 04:25:03,733
exhibits in accordance with

7230
04:25:03,733 --> 04:25:06,733
section 75 of the city charter

7231
04:25:08,171 --> 04:25:08,838
which requires the adoption of

7232
04:25:08,838 --> 04:25:09,204
an annual tax levy by

7233
04:25:09,204 --> 04:25:09,939
ordinance.

7234
04:25:09,939 --> 04:25:12,939
Approval of this ordinance also

7235
04:25:13,810 --> 04:25:14,477
ensures compliance with

7236
04:25:14,477 --> 04:25:15,780
the filing requirements and

7237
04:25:15,780 --> 04:25:15,644

04:25:15,644 --> 04:25:16,279
the County Auditor and

04:25:16,279 --> 04:25:18,279
Comptroller which mandates

year.

7243
04:25:22,685 --> 04:25:25,850
This levy was originally

7244
04:25:25,521 --> 04:25:26,222
approved in 1934 when San Diego

7245
04:25:26,222 --> 04:25:28,622
voters approved Section 77 of

7246
04:25:31,194 --> 04:25:31,861
the city charter to levy an

7247
04:25:31,861 --> 04:25:32,562
annual property tax of $0.02

7248
04:25:32,562 --> 04:25:35,562
per $100 of assessed value to

7249
04:25:37,100 --> 04:25:37,800
be used exclusively for

7250
04:25:37,800 --> 04:25:38,434
the maintenance of zoological

7251
04:25:38,434 --> 04:25:41,434
exhibits in Double Park in

7252
04:25:43,339 --> 04:25:44,400
1981, the California Revenue

7253
04:25:44,400 --> 04:25:44,706
and Taxation Code's definition

7254
04:25:44,706 --> 04:25:45,441
of the assessed valuation on

7255
04:25:45,441 --> 04:25:48,441
which property taxes are levied

7256
04:25:49,245 --> 04:25:49,979
was changed from 25% of

7257
04:25:49,979 --> 04:25:50,680
the property's value to 100% of

7258
04:25:50,680 --> 04:25:53,680
the property's value In order

7259
04:25:55,852 --> 04:25:56,553
to translate Charter Section 77

7260
04:25:56,553 --> 04:26:00,153
a's tax rates to the new

7261
04:26:00,523 --> 04:26:01,191
definition a conversion factor

7262
04:26:01,191 --> 04:26:01,891
of one fourth was applied to

7263
04:26:01,891 --> 04:26:04,291
logical exhibits tax rate

7264
04:26:05,762 --> 04:26:06,462
changing the levy from $0.02

7265
04:26:06,462 --> 04:26:09,462
per $100 of assessed value to

7266
04:26:09,466 --> 04:26:09,932
half a cent per $100 of

7267
04:26:09,932 --> 04:26:10,600
assessed value.

7268
04:26:10,600 --> 04:26:14,200
Since then the tax rate has

7269
04:26:15,271 --> 04:26:15,905
remained unchanged for fiscal

7270
04:26:15,905 --> 04:26:16,572
year 2027 with the Logical

7271
04:26:16,572 --> 04:26:18,972
Exhibits Maintenance Fund is

7272
04:26:20,143 --> 04:26:20,743
budgeted at approximately 22.8

7273
04:26:20,743 --> 04:26:21,443
million for revenues and

7274
04:26:21,443 --> 04:26:24,443
expenditures and it's based on

7275
04:26:26,650 --> 04:26:27,417
the calculation of a half a

7276
04:26:27,417 --> 04:26:27,717
cent per every $100 of assessed

7277
04:26:27,717 --> 04:26:28,351
value.

7278
04:26:28,351 --> 04:26:31,351
This amount is an estimate

7279
04:26:31,821 --> 04:26:32,455
based on the city's fiscal year

7280
04:26:32,455 --> 04:26:33,122
2027 property tax budget.

7281
04:26:33,122 --> 04:26:36,122
Each year the city transfers

7282
04:26:37,227 --> 04:26:37,861
transfers the actual property

7283
04:26:37,861 --> 04:26:40,261
tax revenues collected by

7284
04:26:42,365 --> 04:26:43,660
the county for this purpose be

7285
04:26:43,660 --> 04:26:43,767
22.8 million represents only a

7286
04:26:43,767 --> 04:26:44,367
portion of the total costs of

7287
04:26:44,367 --> 04:26:45,340
maintenance The logical

7288
04:26:45,340 --> 04:26:47,434
exhibits the remaining costs

7289
04:26:48,705 --> 04:26:49,372
are funded through new

7290
04:26:49,372 --> 04:26:50,400
operations and support from

7291
04:26:50,400 --> 04:26:50,707
members, donors and guests.

7292
04:26:50,707 --> 04:26:53,107
Staff's recommendation is to

7293
04:26:54,444 --> 04:26:55,111
approve the fiscal year 2027

7294
04:26:55,111 --> 04:26:58,470
tax rate ordinance levying a

7295
04:26:58,470 --> 04:26:58,748
property tax of half a cent per

7296
04:26:58,748 --> 04:26:59,282
$100 of assessed value to be

7297
04:26:59,282 --> 04:26:59,983
used exclusively for

7298
04:26:59,983 --> 04:27:02,383
the maintenance of zoological

7299
04:27:03,253 --> 04:27:03,987
exhibits in double Park in

7300
04:27:03,987 --> 04:27:04,688
compliance with Charter Section

7301
04:27:04,688 --> 04:27:07,688
75 and the County Auditor and

7302
04:27:09,626 --> 04:27:10,360
Comptroller's requirements.

7303
04:27:10,360 --> 04:27:11,270
That concludes our presentation

7304
04:27:11,270 --> 04:27:11,394
that we're available for Any

7305
04:27:11,394 --> 04:27:11,761
questions.

7306
04:27:11,761 --> 04:27:12,396
All right.

7307
04:27:12,396 --> 04:27:15,320
Thank you for the work and

7308
04:27:15,320 --> 04:27:15,364
thank you for the presentation

7309
04:27:15,364 --> 04:27:16,320
.

7310
04:27:16,320 --> 04:27:16,565
Deputy Clerk Please proceed

7311
04:27:16,565 --> 04:27:18,565
with public comment.

7312
04:27:21,137 --> 04:27:21,738
Thank you Counsel PRESIDENT Max

7313
04:27:21,738 --> 04:27:22,238
Schmidt We'll begin with

7314
04:27:22,238 --> 04:27:22,839
in-person comment.

7315
04:27:22,839 --> 04:27:23,173
Max Schmidt please come

7316
04:27:23,173 --> 04:27:24,340
forward.

7317
04:27:24,340 --> 04:27:27,340
You'll have two minutes to

7318
04:27:35,619 --> 04:27:39,219
speak on increasing the tax to

7319
04:27:40,991 --> 04:27:41,691
$0.05 for every $100 of the $22

7320
04:27:41,691 --> 04:27:44,910
million in maintenance revenue

7321
04:27:45,931 --> 04:27:47,931
on seems unnecessary.

7322
04:27:51,340 --> 04:27:51,802
And I just wanted to say that

7323
04:27:51,802 --> 04:27:54,802
earning taxes off of San

7324
04:27:57,700 --> 04:28:00,700
Diego's amazing zoo also seems

7325
04:28:02,790 --> 04:28:05,790
unnecessary I think with on

7326
04:28:07,650 --> 04:28:08,418
the $2 billion in taxes that

7327
04:28:08,418 --> 04:28:09,219
San Diego San Diego has to

7328
04:28:09,219 --> 04:28:12,819
spend on maybe they could try

7329
04:28:13,689 --> 04:28:14,124
to make the zoo more affordable

7330
04:28:14,124 --> 04:28:16,124
or even free.

7331
04:28:19,229 --> 04:28:19,930
I know St Louis, Missouri has a

7332
04:28:19,930 --> 04:28:23,530
free zoo and it's very popular

7333
04:28:24,635 --> 04:28:25,336
and I just wanted to also say

7334
04:28:25,336 --> 04:28:28,936
that I've mentioned this a lot

7335
04:28:29,306 --> 04:28:30,700
already but I'm against

7336
04:28:30,700 --> 04:28:33,607
the city of San Diego getting

7337
04:28:34,511 --> 04:28:35,279
any tax dollars from the people

7338
04:28:35,279 --> 04:28:38,279
whether it's through the zoo's

7339
04:28:40,284 --> 04:28:40,985
maintenance fee or whether it's

7340
04:28:40,985 --> 04:28:43,985
through property or sales tax.

7341
04:28:44,655 --> 04:28:48,255
And the reason why is because

7342
04:28:49,920 --> 04:28:49,760
there is serious criminal and

7343
04:28:49,760 --> 04:28:52,160
illegal activity that falls

7344
04:28:54,699 --> 04:28:55,650
under city sponsored and state

7345
04:28:55,650 --> 04:28:57,650
sponsored.

7346
04:28:59,803 --> 04:29:00,471
And what that is is people

7347
04:29:00,471 --> 04:29:01,104
being paid tax dollars like

7348
04:29:01,104 --> 04:29:03,504
staff at homeless shelter

7349
04:29:04,775 --> 04:29:05,442
police officer transit

7350
04:29:05,442 --> 04:29:08,442
authority on the trolley on

7351
04:29:09,379 --> 04:29:12,379
whoever is running the trolley

7352
04:29:13,951 --> 04:29:14,718
intercom are actually harassing

7353
04:29:14,718 --> 04:29:18,318
Catholics And what they do is

7354
04:29:19,723 --> 04:29:20,324
this They speak constant,

7355
04:29:20,324 --> 04:29:22,324
bizarre, strange half

7356
04:29:24,762 --> 04:29:25,462
gibberish, half I'm reading

7357
04:29:25,462 --> 04:29:26,163
your mind I know it sounds

7358
04:29:26,163 --> 04:29:26,797
crazy where they're telepathic

7359
04:29:26,797 --> 04:29:29,197
from doing hermetic chants

7360
04:29:29,566 --> 04:29:30,167
The Masonic Lodge and people

7361
04:29:30,167 --> 04:29:33,167
who are getting paid tax

7362
04:29:34,138 --> 04:29:34,772
dollars are actually trying to

7363
04:29:34,772 --> 04:29:35,472
drive Catholics either to

7364
04:29:35,472 --> 04:29:38,472
suicide or drug addiction And

7365
04:29:39,900 --> 04:29:39,409
there's a genocide happening.

7366
04:29:39,409 --> 04:29:40,177
Thank you.

7367
04:29:40,177 --> 04:29:43,177
That does conclude your time

7368
04:29:49,487 --> 04:29:50,187
Allegedly order Poor Vivienne

7369
04:29:50,187 --> 04:29:50,454
got thrown under the bus.

7370
04:29:50,454 --> 04:29:51,122
Why?

7371
04:29:51,122 --> 04:29:54,250
Why not call out Jennifer?

7372
04:29:54,250 --> 04:29:54,859
You didn't think it was her?

7373
04:29:54,859 --> 04:29:57,259
>> Yeah, this is interesting.

7374
04:29:59,797 --> 04:30:00,665
That's I mean a half a cent and

7375
04:30:00,665 --> 04:30:03,665
you get $22 million almost 23 I

7376
04:30:04,635 --> 04:30:05,402
feel like that should give us a

7377
04:30:05,402 --> 04:30:09,941
free pass to go to the zoo when

7378
04:30:09,941 --> 04:30:10,575
they're getting that much money

7379
04:30:10,575 --> 04:30:11,208
from the people in is this

7380
04:30:11,208 --> 04:30:14,208
county leaders is just in

7381
04:30:14,244 --> 04:30:14,779
the city is this just city

7382
04:30:14,779 --> 04:30:15,445
property Yeah that's

7383
04:30:15,445 --> 04:30:18,445
interesting That's a lot of

7384
04:30:18,749 --> 04:30:19,550
money and those people still

7385
04:30:19,550 --> 04:30:20,284
have to pay to go to the zoo.

7386
04:30:20,284 --> 04:30:23,284
And I'm wondering because it's

7387
04:30:23,421 --> 04:30:24,210
like nobody really keeps up

7388
04:30:24,210 --> 04:30:24,688
with their maintenance.

7389
04:30:24,688 --> 04:30:27,725
How do we know that this is

7390
04:30:27,725 --> 04:30:28,590
going towards their maintenance

7391
04:30:28,590 --> 04:30:28,959
really?

7392
04:30:28,959 --> 04:30:29,694
I mean do we know that Is there

7393
04:30:29,694 --> 04:30:33,294
any kind of checks and balances

7394
04:30:33,431 --> 04:30:34,398
to be sure we just give it to

7395
04:30:34,398 --> 04:30:36,401
them and say it's out of our

7396
04:30:36,401 --> 04:30:36,767
hands?

7397
04:30:36,767 --> 04:30:38,767
Right.

7398
04:30:41,839 --> 04:30:42,607
So how it works I guess so.

7399
04:30:42,607 --> 04:30:42,907
I mean that's that's the way it

7400
04:30:42,907 --> 04:30:44,907
seems.

7401
04:30:46,440 --> 04:30:46,344
That's the way the government

7402
04:30:46,344 --> 04:30:46,911
works.

7403
04:30:46,911 --> 04:30:47,511
We contract with you.

7404
04:30:47,511 --> 04:30:49,911
We did our part.

7405
04:30:50,882 --> 04:30:51,648
We followed the policy.

7406
04:30:51,648 --> 04:30:51,950
We created a bike lane.

7407
04:30:51,950 --> 04:30:53,950
Yeah.

7408
04:30:55,153 --> 04:30:55,953
It cost like $13 million and it

7409
04:30:55,953 --> 04:30:56,554
goes to no or but we did what

7410
04:30:56,554 --> 04:30:59,457
we were supposed to do.

7411
04:30:59,457 --> 04:31:00,224
So again it's like until people

7412
04:31:00,224 --> 04:31:03,628
are going to like go to the zoo

7413
04:31:03,628 --> 04:31:04,362
for free I mean $22 million and

7414
04:31:04,362 --> 04:31:04,796
plus we're like holding animals

7415
04:31:04,796 --> 04:31:06,796
in captivity.

7416
04:31:08,332 --> 04:31:09,330
I always hated that as a kid

7417
04:31:09,330 --> 04:31:12,633
like go in and watching these

7418
04:31:12,670 --> 04:31:13,438
animals I mean they say they

7419
04:31:13,438 --> 04:31:14,205
save them but it's like is it

7420
04:31:14,205 --> 04:31:17,805
really I mean because like out

7421
04:31:18,109 --> 04:31:18,843
in their own habitat they don't

7422
04:31:18,843 --> 04:31:22,180
really do those things But it's

7423
04:31:22,180 --> 04:31:22,547
like, you know, wild horses,

7424
04:31:22,547 --> 04:31:23,548
mustangs.

7425
04:31:23,548 --> 04:31:27,510
I had a couple of those ones So

7426
04:31:27,510 --> 04:31:27,752
sad They're like 50 bucks You

7427
04:31:27,752 --> 04:31:28,453
can't even like sell them for

7428
04:31:28,453 --> 04:31:31,453
that much because they're wild

7429
04:31:31,723 --> 04:31:32,230
horses anyway.

7430
04:31:32,230 --> 04:31:32,923
Yeah.

7431
04:31:32,923 --> 04:31:36,610
So I just like to see kind of

7432
04:31:36,610 --> 04:31:36,727
some kind of uh you know, uh

7433
04:31:36,727 --> 04:31:37,429
audit to make sure that this

7434
04:31:37,429 --> 04:31:39,829
money is going towards

7435
04:31:40,832 --> 04:31:41,499
maintenance and how much more

7436
04:31:41,499 --> 04:31:41,900
they're like requiring from

7437
04:31:41,900 --> 04:31:43,900
the people.

7438
04:31:45,803 --> 04:31:46,604
I'd also like to request an

7439
04:31:46,604 --> 04:31:50,375
audit on flock so if we could

7440
04:31:50,375 --> 04:31:50,675
do that as well that would be

7441
04:31:50,675 --> 04:31:51,420
good.

7442
04:31:51,420 --> 04:31:51,743
Thank you.

7443
04:31:51,743 --> 04:31:52,510
That does conclude your time.

7444
04:31:52,510 --> 04:31:55,510
Our next speaker is Anthony

7445
04:32:04,256 --> 04:32:05,123
Ralphs.

7446
04:32:05,123 --> 04:32:09,323
I think I'm in favor of this

7447
04:32:09,361 --> 04:32:12,961
tax but I'm not entirely sure.

7448
04:32:13,965 --> 04:32:14,899
Um, I.

7449
04:32:14,899 --> 04:32:18,970
I don't know if the zoo is a

7450
04:32:18,970 --> 04:32:19,704
private corporation and if

7451
04:32:19,704 --> 04:32:22,104
they're getting public subsidy.

7452
04:32:24,376 --> 04:32:25,770
If so, then it probably I don't

7453
04:32:25,770 --> 04:32:26,111
know if this tax is justified.

7454
04:32:26,111 --> 04:32:29,414
They do bring in a lot of

7455
04:32:29,414 --> 04:32:30,181
people.

7456
04:32:30,181 --> 04:32:30,882
They are like a world famous

7457
04:32:30,882 --> 04:32:31,149
and the world famous San Diego

7458
04:32:31,149 --> 04:32:31,448
Zoo.

7459
04:32:31,448 --> 04:32:33,448
Right.

7460
04:32:33,986 --> 04:32:37,586
So I guess there's a there

7461
04:32:37,956 --> 04:32:38,556
could be a justification for it

7462
04:32:38,556 --> 04:32:39,258
But the not knowing that

7463
04:32:39,258 --> 04:32:41,658
distinction makes it difficult

7464
04:32:43,428 --> 04:32:43,762
to formulate a fully educated

7465
04:32:43,762 --> 04:32:45,762
opinion.

7466
04:32:46,899 --> 04:32:51,699
So I think I'm in favor of it

7467
04:32:52,104 --> 04:32:52,570
Anyway, thanks.

7468
04:32:52,570 --> 04:32:53,238
Thank you.

7469
04:32:53,238 --> 04:32:55,638
That does conclude in-person

7470
04:32:56,742 --> 04:32:57,476
public comment.

7471
04:32:57,476 --> 04:32:58,143
I I've started the five minute

7472
04:32:58,143 --> 04:33:01,143
timer and the committee room

7473
04:33:01,346 --> 04:33:02,470
and we will now turn to

7474
04:33:02,470 --> 04:33:04,883
the virtual queue where there

7475
04:33:04,883 --> 04:33:05,183
is one speaker requesting to

7476
04:33:05,183 --> 04:33:05,850
speak.

7477
04:33:05,850 --> 04:33:08,250
Hector please begin your

7478
04:33:09,922 --> 04:33:11,922
comments.

7479
04:33:14,525 --> 04:33:15,394
Having grown up here I've been

7480
04:33:15,394 --> 04:33:15,661
to the zoo a lot of times as a

7481
04:33:15,661 --> 04:33:17,661
kid.

7482
04:33:18,363 --> 04:33:19,330
I think we should sunset this

7483
04:33:19,330 --> 04:33:22,930
thing and not pay him anything

7484
04:33:24,603 --> 04:33:25,237
because originally did that to

7485
04:33:25,237 --> 04:33:28,507
get the zoo running up and

7486
04:33:28,507 --> 04:33:29,207
running so the Sand City could

7487
04:33:29,207 --> 04:33:29,942
with the zoo when it first

7488
04:33:29,942 --> 04:33:32,942
started to get everything going

7489
04:33:33,479 --> 04:33:33,779
But now the zoo is in great

7490
04:33:33,779 --> 04:33:34,479
hands.

7491
04:33:34,479 --> 04:33:37,479
There's a lot of entrepreneurs

7492
04:33:38,650 --> 04:33:39,618
there, a lot of people donate.

7493
04:33:39,618 --> 04:33:42,620
It's top of the line and we

7494
04:33:42,620 --> 04:33:43,322
should almost charge them $20

7495
04:33:43,322 --> 04:33:46,322
million like rent or something

7496
04:33:47,660 --> 04:33:48,360
because they're the you know,

7497
04:33:48,360 --> 04:33:51,960
they have all sorts of things

7498
04:33:52,330 --> 04:33:52,798
going on and we don't need to

7499
04:33:52,798 --> 04:33:53,599
subsidize them.

7500
04:33:53,599 --> 04:33:57,200
Not that we got to be mad him

7501
04:33:57,200 --> 04:33:57,870
or nothing but just we got 20

7502
04:33:57,870 --> 04:34:01,740
million we can spend on so many

7503
04:34:01,740 --> 04:34:02,341
other things and they should we

7504
04:34:02,341 --> 04:34:05,341
could charge him maybe a

7505
04:34:06,440 --> 04:34:06,745
million bucks rent because I

7506
04:34:06,745 --> 04:34:07,412
think we own the property but

7507
04:34:07,412 --> 04:34:10,412
it's probably it's it's own

7508
04:34:11,951 --> 04:34:12,651
corporation or how it works and

7509
04:34:12,651 --> 04:34:16,210
the zoo works but all the big

7510
04:34:16,210 --> 04:34:16,722
time guys in the zoo, they know

7511
04:34:16,722 --> 04:34:20,225
what's going on And this is

7512
04:34:20,225 --> 04:34:20,892
just an extra this is almost

7513
04:34:20,892 --> 04:34:21,693
mayonnaise on the sandwich.

7514
04:34:21,693 --> 04:34:25,264
You know if you take out

7515
04:34:25,264 --> 04:34:25,798
the mayonnaise it would still

7516
04:34:25,798 --> 04:34:26,532
be a good sandwich.

7517
04:34:26,532 --> 04:34:29,532
You know they're not hurting

7518
04:34:30,502 --> 04:34:31,203
for money but they're getting

7519
04:34:31,203 --> 04:34:34,707
the parking revenue now So who

7520
04:34:34,707 --> 04:34:35,474
knows what's going to happen.

7521
04:34:35,474 --> 04:34:39,740
But anyway, we should move to

7522
04:34:39,712 --> 04:34:40,612
sunset this politically it

7523
04:34:40,612 --> 04:34:41,380
might be a no no for you guys

7524
04:34:41,380 --> 04:34:44,883
but we'll spend the money down

7525
04:34:44,883 --> 04:34:45,584
in Barrio Logan man setting up

7526
04:34:45,584 --> 04:34:49,184
a lot of stuff down there.

7527
04:34:49,722 --> 04:34:50,356
Parks Dumber and you give

7528
04:34:50,356 --> 04:34:53,956
the money to you know, all

7529
04:34:54,260 --> 04:34:55,161
sorts of different things we

7530
04:34:55,161 --> 04:34:58,464
could do and it would make a

7531
04:34:58,464 --> 04:34:58,965
positive impact in a lot of

7532
04:34:58,965 --> 04:35:00,965
different places.

7533
04:35:03,369 --> 04:35:03,870
Thanks for your time.

7534
04:35:03,870 --> 04:35:04,637
Thank you.

7535
04:35:04,637 --> 04:35:08,307
We have the next speaker is a

7536
04:35:08,307 --> 04:35:08,708
caller with the last four

7537
04:35:08,708 --> 04:35:10,708
digits 8700.

7538
04:35:12,845 --> 04:35:15,245
Please begin your comments.

7539
04:35:19,252 --> 04:35:21,992
Thank you Joyce and your to

7540
04:35:21,992 --> 04:35:22,888
Councilmember Foster the third

7541
04:35:22,888 --> 04:35:26,488
Would you listen up on this

7542
04:35:29,562 --> 04:35:30,328
item please?

7543
04:35:30,328 --> 04:35:30,963
We have a world class zoo.

7544
04:35:30,963 --> 04:35:33,963
There's no doubt about it.

7545
04:35:35,101 --> 04:35:35,902
And in on another item this

7546
04:35:35,902 --> 04:35:39,405
year last year we realized in

7547
04:35:39,405 --> 04:35:40,172
real life that we just had we

7548
04:35:40,172 --> 04:35:43,776
were told and we knew how great

7549
04:35:43,776 --> 04:35:44,343
they are and how they improved

7550
04:35:44,343 --> 04:35:46,743
and the executives and

7551
04:35:48,815 --> 04:35:49,515
everything and then great And

7552
04:35:49,515 --> 04:35:53,715
you know so out of the five

7553
04:35:54,200 --> 04:35:54,821
stars which I think is the best

7554
04:35:54,821 --> 04:35:55,588
sometimes I give a plus more

7555
04:35:55,588 --> 04:35:59,192
But out of the five stars they

7556
04:35:59,192 --> 04:35:59,892
only get four from me And

7557
04:35:59,892 --> 04:36:03,363
the reason for that is there's

7558
04:36:03,363 --> 04:36:04,263
a question mark on the Fifth

7559
04:36:04,263 --> 04:36:08,134
Star and that is how they treat

7560
04:36:08,134 --> 04:36:11,134
their employees And I don't

7561
04:36:13,506 --> 04:36:14,730
know excuse me if I stumble on

7562
04:36:14,730 --> 04:36:17,730
this with the eeoc and

7563
04:36:17,510 --> 04:36:18,377
the workforce reports I Googled

7564
04:36:18,377 --> 04:36:22,470
back away a year or two ago I

7565
04:36:22,470 --> 04:36:22,849
Googled how they treat their

7566
04:36:22,849 --> 04:36:25,849
employees and I got awful

7567
04:36:26,920 --> 04:36:29,920
negativity stuff and I just

7568
04:36:31,724 --> 04:36:34,124
it's it frightened me.

7569
04:36:36,529 --> 04:36:37,464
It just shocked me.

7570
04:36:37,464 --> 04:36:37,864
So I just would like to shine a

7571
04:36:37,864 --> 04:36:39,864
light there.

7572
04:36:41,367 --> 04:36:43,767
Councilmember Foster the third

7573
04:36:45,505 --> 04:36:46,306
and make sure that I can that

7574
04:36:46,306 --> 04:36:49,906
I'm wrong that it's just fake

7575
04:36:50,910 --> 04:36:51,878
fake news on Google And so I

7576
04:36:51,878 --> 04:36:55,581
just had to get that off my

7577
04:36:55,581 --> 04:36:56,448
chest.

7578
04:36:56,448 --> 04:36:56,750
I wasn't going to speak on this

7579
04:36:56,750 --> 04:36:57,450
item.

7580
04:36:57,450 --> 04:37:00,353
I was sort of waiting for MR.

7581
04:37:00,353 --> 04:37:01,287
Stump to speak.

7582
04:37:01,287 --> 04:37:05,358
So I feel better that I put

7583
04:37:05,358 --> 04:37:06,192
that out there.

7584
04:37:06,192 --> 04:37:06,993
I hope it's wrong But if there

7585
04:37:06,993 --> 04:37:09,728
me if these people these

7586
04:37:09,728 --> 04:37:10,430
employees are doing

7587
04:37:10,430 --> 04:37:13,430
the maintenance, we've got to

7588
04:37:14,601 --> 04:37:15,568
treat them five stars So please

7589
04:37:15,568 --> 04:37:19,768
check on that and it's been a

7590
04:37:20,674 --> 04:37:21,541
great day and thank you so much

7591
04:37:21,541 --> 04:37:24,277

7592
04:37:24,277 --> 04:37:25,110
you.

7593
04:37:25,110 --> 04:37:25,411
That concludes public testimony

7594
04:37:25,411 --> 04:37:25,779
on item 331.

7595
04:37:25,779 --> 04:37:27,779
All right.

7596
04:37:29,349 --> 04:37:30,116
Thank you, Deputy Clerk.

7597
04:37:30,116 --> 04:37:30,817
With that will turn over to

7598
04:37:30,817 --> 04:37:31,551
council members for questions,

7599
04:37:31,551 --> 04:37:34,521
Comments Entertain a motion and

7600
04:37:34,521 --> 04:37:34,887
we'll start with Council member

7601
04:37:34,887 --> 04:37:35,255
Whitburn.

7602
04:37:35,255 --> 04:37:35,956
Thank you.

7603
04:37:35,956 --> 04:37:38,356
Council PRESIDENT 92 years ago

7604
04:37:39,259 --> 04:37:40,600
Sandiego residents voted to

7605
04:37:40,600 --> 04:37:40,661
enact this property tax to help

7606
04:37:40,661 --> 04:37:40,994
maintain the exhibits at

7607
04:37:40,994 --> 04:37:42,994
the zoo.

7608
04:37:44,665 --> 04:37:45,299
Whatever voters pass a property

7609
04:37:45,299 --> 04:37:46,990
tax for a specific purpose

7610
04:37:46,990 --> 04:37:49,136
the funds have to be used for

7611
04:37:49,136 --> 04:37:49,469
that purpose and only that

7612
04:37:49,469 --> 04:37:50,303
purpose.

7613
04:37:50,303 --> 04:37:54,730
In this case the funds must be

7614
04:37:54,730 --> 04:37:54,408
used for the exhibits at

7615
04:37:54,408 --> 04:37:56,408
the zoo.

7616
04:37:58,245 --> 04:37:58,845
San Diego Zoo is a point of

7617
04:37:58,845 --> 04:37:59,580
pride for our city.

7618
04:37:59,580 --> 04:38:02,580
It's the reason many tourists

7619
04:38:03,830 --> 04:38:03,951
visit our city.

7620
04:38:03,951 --> 04:38:07,653
A lot of the people who work at

7621
04:38:07,653 --> 04:38:08,355
the zoo have worked there for

7622
04:38:08,355 --> 04:38:08,888
decades and speak very highly

7623
04:38:08,888 --> 04:38:10,888
of their experience.

7624
04:38:11,925 --> 04:38:12,459
Many of them are represented by

7625
04:38:12,459 --> 04:38:13,260
the Teamsters Union.

7626
04:38:13,260 --> 04:38:15,426
I very much appreciate

7627
04:38:17,163 --> 04:38:17,865
the zoo's long standing

7628
04:38:17,865 --> 04:38:18,531
partnership with the city and

7629
04:38:18,531 --> 04:38:18,999
I'm happy to move the staff

7630
04:38:18,999 --> 04:38:19,365

04:38:53,500 --> 04:38:54,268
our agenda.
