session so you'll have one

114
00:05:59,656 --> 00:06:00,156
minute.

118
00:06:04,270 --> 00:06:05,620
Blair Bateman.

119
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:09,320
At the end of JUNE everyone I

120
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,799
speak to is a JUNE.

121
00:06:09,799 --> 00:06:12,935
I wanted to comment with this

122
00:06:12,935 --> 00:06:13,603
kind of item and the many Union

123
00:06:13,603 --> 00:06:16,300
City government union worker

124
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:18,340
groups involved with this item

125
00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:19,420
.

126
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:19,775
It usually signifies some sort

127
00:06:19,775 --> 00:06:23,800
of labor talk but I mean I

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:23,814
guess for this item you're

129
00:06:23,814 --> 00:06:24,480
going to speak specifically to

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880
police actions working with

131
00:06:28,251 --> 00:06:28,919
the police review Commission.

132
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:29,586
Thanks and good luck.

133
00:06:29,586 --> 00:06:29,953
What You can be decided

134
00:06:29,953 --> 00:06:31,953
together.

135
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:34,157
We are really trying to build a

136
00:06:34,157 --> 00:06:37,157
future of the police review

137
00:06:38,694 --> 00:06:39,196
body as cold and we keep

138
00:06:39,196 --> 00:06:41,196
sputtering a bit.

139
00:06:43,333 --> 00:06:46,933
I keep praying that the powers

140
00:06:47,771 --> 00:06:48,472
that be in San Diego can be of

141
00:06:48,472 --> 00:06:49,206
some help that you know, I

142
00:06:49,206 --> 00:06:49,939
think we're trying to reach out

143
00:06:49,939 --> 00:06:52,476
and develop a relationship with

144
00:06:52,476 --> 00:06:53,243
esdp.

145
00:06:53,243 --> 00:06:54,110
Good luck with that can mean

146
00:06:54,110 --> 00:06:57,714
and what you talk about and how

147
00:06:57,714 --> 00:06:58,482
it can be an accountable

148
00:06:58,482 --> 00:06:59,349
process for all of us and that

149
00:06:59,349 --> 00:07:03,549
we want to trust each other and

150
00:07:03,619 --> 00:07:07,900
what we talk and work on and

151
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:07,790
work towards in the street.

152
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:10,790
That does conclude your time.

153
00:07:11,461 --> 00:07:12,162
8700 If you can please unmute.

154
00:07:12,162 --> 00:07:12,729
There's one item on the agenda

155
00:07:12,729 --> 00:07:15,129
You'll have a minute.

156
00:07:17,401 --> 00:07:18,102
Please proceed.

157
00:07:18,102 --> 00:07:18,569
Oh excuse me Joy.

158
00:07:18,569 --> 00:07:20,569
It's an item.

159
00:07:21,572 --> 00:07:22,338
This is my opinion.

160
00:07:22,338 --> 00:07:25,338
I find it interesting that

161
00:07:26,210 --> 00:07:26,810
the sd pd wants less

162
00:07:26,810 --> 00:07:28,810
surveillance use of

163
00:07:31,181 --> 00:07:34,181
miscellaneous and the public c

164
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:36,190
p p wants more surveillance use

165
00:07:36,190 --> 00:07:38,190
of investigations.

166
00:07:40,557 --> 00:07:41,225
Therefore in labor negotiations

167
00:07:41,225 --> 00:07:43,225
on proposed operating

168
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:45,996
procedures the balance

169
00:07:45,996 --> 00:07:50,196
the sweet spot will be what is

170
00:07:50,901 --> 00:07:51,568
enough Investigating and more

171
00:07:51,568 --> 00:07:53,968
is enough Miscellaneous This

172
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:55,773
will build more trust on

173
00:07:55,773 --> 00:07:58,773
the public officer definition I

174
00:08:00,110 --> 00:08:03,710
am guided by Article b of

175
00:08:03,814 --> 00:08:06,214
the Charter Section 41.2 So

176
00:08:08,886 --> 00:08:09,219
I'll say this It's City Council

177
00:08:09,219 --> 00:08:09,819

00:08:14,291 --> 00:08:14,925
>> Thank you.

183
00:08:14,925 --> 00:08:17,325
That does conclude public

184
00:08:17,794 --> 00:08:18,129
comment on this closed session

185
00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:18,629

270
00:16:43,816 --> 00:16:44,383
Council PRESIDENT.

271
00:16:44,383 --> 00:16:44,984
Good afternoon Council

272
00:16:44,984 --> 00:16:45,651
PRESIDENT And members of

273
00:16:45,651 --> 00:16:49,251
the city council as well as

274
00:16:49,388 --> 00:16:49,788
those joining me here in-person

275
00:16:49,788 --> 00:16:50,622
and online.

276
00:16:50,622 --> 00:16:51,223
My name is Deanna Fuentes and I

277
00:16:51,223 --> 00:16:53,623
am your city clerk.

278
00:16:54,326 --> 00:16:54,760
I will need ten minutes for my

279
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,127
presentation.

280
00:16:55,127 --> 00:16:55,628
All right.

281
00:16:55,628 --> 00:16:57,628
When you're ready.

282
00:16:59,432 --> 00:16:59,999
I'm pleased to present an

283
00:16:59,999 --> 00:17:00,699
overview of the recent

284
00:17:00,699 --> 00:17:01,400
initiatives aimed at expanding

285
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,400
access to local government and

286
00:17:06,238 --> 00:17:06,906
compliance with sb 7o7 which

287
00:17:06,906 --> 00:17:07,606
we've all heard a lot about

288
00:17:07,606 --> 00:17:10,606
today We are reviewing ongoing

289
00:17:12,211 --> 00:17:12,812
proactive efforts to engage

290
00:17:12,812 --> 00:17:13,479
communities that do not

291
00:17:13,479 --> 00:17:14,130
traditionally participate in

292
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:16,130
our public meetings.

293
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:18,718
And our core goal is to remove

294
00:17:18,718 --> 00:17:19,418
barriers so that every San

295
00:17:19,418 --> 00:17:20,520
Diego feels empowered to have

296
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520
their voice heard in this

297
00:17:24,890 --> 00:17:24,891
chamber.

298
00:17:24,891 --> 00:17:25,591
At the heart of this initiative

299
00:17:25,591 --> 00:17:28,591
is our department's mission to

300
00:17:29,695 --> 00:17:30,395
provide accurate information

301
00:17:30,395 --> 00:17:30,963
and maximize public access to

302
00:17:30,963 --> 00:17:31,564
municipal government.

303
00:17:31,564 --> 00:17:33,964
But we know traditional

304
00:17:36,469 --> 00:17:37,690
notification methods don't work

305
00:17:37,690 --> 00:17:37,670
for everyone, especially

306
00:17:37,670 --> 00:17:38,700
historically underserved

307
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:40,700
populations.

308
00:17:42,875 --> 00:17:43,543
To break those barriers down we

309
00:17:43,543 --> 00:17:43,809
didn't just push information

310
00:17:43,809 --> 00:17:44,510
out.

311
00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:44,877
We went out into the community

312
00:17:44,877 --> 00:17:46,877
to listen.

313
00:17:48,181 --> 00:17:48,817
We conducted four public

314
00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:49,515
listening sessions across

315
00:17:49,515 --> 00:17:52,515
districts one, seven and eight

316
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:54,220
alongside a citywide survey

317
00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:54,753
that ran from OCTOBER 2025

318
00:17:54,753 --> 00:17:55,488
through MARCH 2026.

319
00:17:55,488 --> 00:17:58,488
We also engage with residents

320
00:17:59,992 --> 00:18:00,660
at community events and

321
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:01,227
meetings in districts three,

322
00:18:01,227 --> 00:18:03,627
four, eight and nine.

323
00:18:04,863 --> 00:18:05,264
Now what did our residents tell

324
00:18:05,264 --> 00:18:05,965
us?

325
00:18:05,965 --> 00:18:06,565
Their feedback fell into clear

326
00:18:06,565 --> 00:18:08,965
themes They want simpler

327
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:11,704
website navigation more visible

328
00:18:11,704 --> 00:18:12,338
public comment links plain

329
00:18:12,338 --> 00:18:14,738
language summaries of our

330
00:18:17,443 --> 00:18:18,110
complex agendas and expanded

331
00:18:18,110 --> 00:18:18,711
translation services.

332
00:18:18,711 --> 00:18:19,279
They also noted that a simple

333
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,679
lack of awareness and

334
00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:24,450
scheduling conflicts often

335
00:18:24,450 --> 00:18:25,150
stand in their way.

336
00:18:25,150 --> 00:18:25,818
The direct community feedback

337
00:18:25,818 --> 00:18:29,418
is what helped shape some of

338
00:18:29,889 --> 00:18:30,456
the operational improvements we

339
00:18:30,456 --> 00:18:31,156
are presenting today.

340
00:18:31,156 --> 00:18:34,756
So we took that feedback and

341
00:18:36,329 --> 00:18:36,962
immediately translated it into

342
00:18:36,962 --> 00:18:37,530
action on the language and

343
00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:38,231
digital access front.

344
00:18:38,231 --> 00:18:41,831
Thanks to Panda's web team we

345
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:43,737
have updated our website to be

346
00:18:43,737 --> 00:18:44,236
week 2.1 compliant for better

347
00:18:44,236 --> 00:18:46,236
ada accessibility.

348
00:18:48,474 --> 00:18:49,142
We also revamped our How to

349
00:18:49,142 --> 00:18:49,842
Participate web page making

350
00:18:49,842 --> 00:18:51,842
critical information available

351
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,114
and not just our primary

352
00:18:55,114 --> 00:18:57,114
alternative languages but

353
00:18:58,852 --> 00:18:59,452
thanks to our city's new auto

354
00:18:59,452 --> 00:18:59,786
translation 22 languages

355
00:18:59,786 --> 00:19:00,453
overall.

356
00:19:00,453 --> 00:19:04,530
You will now see the English

357
00:19:05,725 --> 00:19:06,459
and Spanish language agendas

358
00:19:06,459 --> 00:19:07,930
featured prominently on the San

359
00:19:07,930 --> 00:19:10,930
Diego Doc website as well.

360
00:19:10,964 --> 00:19:11,531
Near the top we have

361
00:19:11,531 --> 00:19:12,265
streamlined our agenda

362
00:19:12,265 --> 00:19:12,932
formatting using plain language

363
00:19:12,932 --> 00:19:15,932
principles and even added a

364
00:19:17,470 --> 00:19:18,104
dedicated legislative glossary

365
00:19:18,104 --> 00:19:18,438
directly onto the council

366
00:19:18,438 --> 00:19:19,105
agenda.

367
00:19:19,105 --> 00:19:22,105
So government jargon isn't a

368
00:19:23,943 --> 00:19:24,610
barrier to participation.

369
00:19:24,610 --> 00:19:25,311
Physically we've distributed

370
00:19:25,311 --> 00:19:27,711
education materials to nearly

371
00:19:29,549 --> 00:19:30,183
200 neighborhood locations over

372
00:19:30,183 --> 00:19:30,750
200 neighborhood locations

373
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:32,750
including libraries or

374
00:19:36,122 --> 00:19:36,723
recreation centers, cultural

375
00:19:36,723 --> 00:19:37,324
markets and faith based

376
00:19:37,324 --> 00:19:37,891
organizations and other

377
00:19:37,891 --> 00:19:40,291
community hubs such as

378
00:19:42,362 --> 00:19:42,896
laundromats and latrines across

379
00:19:42,896 --> 00:19:43,563
all nine districts.

380
00:19:43,563 --> 00:19:47,163
And looking ahead to JULY or

381
00:19:48,134 --> 00:19:48,735
just next week's agenda,

382
00:19:48,735 --> 00:19:49,369
the council PRESIDENT Is

383
00:19:49,369 --> 00:19:50,360
launching anticipated time

384
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,360
allotments on the agenda to

385
00:19:54,174 --> 00:19:54,908
help residents better plan

386
00:19:54,908 --> 00:19:55,541
their participated around their

387
00:19:55,541 --> 00:19:55,909
participation around busy

388
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:57,909
schedules.

389
00:20:00,113 --> 00:20:00,847
And we are officially launching

390
00:20:00,847 --> 00:20:01,548
our new organized presentation

391
00:20:01,548 --> 00:20:05,148
process on JULY 1st as adopted

392
00:20:06,486 --> 00:20:07,187
by the city Council.

393
00:20:07,187 --> 00:20:07,620
So what is an organized

394
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:08,321
presentation?

395
00:20:08,321 --> 00:20:11,921
Let's dive into that new tool.

396
00:20:12,325 --> 00:20:13,260
This is an equity improvement

397
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:13,727
adopted by the City Council to

398
00:20:13,727 --> 00:20:16,727
empower community groups to be

399
00:20:18,832 --> 00:20:19,232
income and to be in compliance

400
00:20:19,232 --> 00:20:19,832
with sb 707.

401
00:20:19,832 --> 00:20:20,400
Essentially an organized

402
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,400
presentation allows a

403
00:20:24,738 --> 00:20:25,405
coordinated group of two or

404
00:20:25,405 --> 00:20:26,380
more individuals to share a

405
00:20:26,380 --> 00:20:28,438
unified position to speak

406
00:20:30,543 --> 00:20:31,244
collectively or choose a lead

407
00:20:31,244 --> 00:20:31,878
speaker for an allocated block

408
00:20:31,878 --> 00:20:32,479
of time during a meeting.

409
00:20:32,479 --> 00:20:34,479
This applies especially

410
00:20:36,883 --> 00:20:37,584
specifically to discussion or

411
00:20:37,584 --> 00:20:37,984
informational items listed on

412
00:20:37,984 --> 00:20:39,984
our agenda.

413
00:20:42,889 --> 00:20:43,623
This replaces the old

414
00:20:43,623 --> 00:20:44,257
traditional practice of seating

415
00:20:44,257 --> 00:20:46,657
time which was restricted

416
00:20:48,528 --> 00:20:49,280
exclusively to those who could

417
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,796
show up in person.

418
00:20:49,796 --> 00:20:52,196
This new format equitably

419
00:20:54,868 --> 00:20:55,468
extends the exact same

420
00:20:55,468 --> 00:20:56,170
collective presentation

421
00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:59,170
opportunity and the ability to

422
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:01,408
share PowerPoint presentations

423
00:21:01,408 --> 00:21:01,975
or other ab two hour online and

424
00:21:01,975 --> 00:21:03,975
virtual participants.

425
00:21:04,912 --> 00:21:05,612
Leveling the playing field for

426
00:21:05,612 --> 00:21:08,120
working families or homebound

427
00:21:11,552 --> 00:21:12,252
residents.

428
00:21:12,252 --> 00:21:12,953
We've designed the digital

429
00:21:12,953 --> 00:21:13,620
submission framework to be as

430
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:13,988
intuitive and streamlined as

431
00:21:13,988 --> 00:21:15,988
possible.

432
00:21:17,491 --> 00:21:18,225
It breaks down into three

433
00:21:18,225 --> 00:21:18,792
simple steps for the community.

434
00:21:18,792 --> 00:21:19,193
Step one is to review

435
00:21:19,193 --> 00:21:21,193
the agenda.

436
00:21:23,697 --> 00:21:24,365
Groups must identify

437
00:21:24,365 --> 00:21:25,990
the specific item number or

438
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:25,732
numbers that matter to them and

439
00:21:25,732 --> 00:21:28,132
look over the accompanying

440
00:21:29,369 --> 00:21:30,700
staff reports and allocated

441
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:30,771
time per person for that item

442
00:21:30,771 --> 00:21:34,371
that is listed on the agenda.

443
00:21:35,976 --> 00:21:36,643
Step two is to submit

444
00:21:36,643 --> 00:21:37,311
the online sign up web form.

445
00:21:37,311 --> 00:21:39,711
The group's designated lead

446
00:21:40,948 --> 00:21:41,649
presenter can fill out the form

447
00:21:41,649 --> 00:21:44,649
at San diego.Gov/presentation.

448
00:21:46,353 --> 00:21:46,887
This must be done at least 24

449
00:21:46,887 --> 00:21:47,555
hours in advance of

450
00:21:47,555 --> 00:21:48,255
the scheduled meeting so our

451
00:21:48,255 --> 00:21:51,255
staff can verify the details.

452
00:21:52,392 --> 00:21:53,127
Step three is to submit

453
00:21:53,127 --> 00:21:56,727
materials if the group wants to

454
00:21:57,698 --> 00:21:58,298
use visual or audio aids like a

455
00:21:58,298 --> 00:21:58,932
PowerPoint presentation.

456
00:21:58,932 --> 00:21:59,633
They can upload them right

457
00:21:59,633 --> 00:22:03,833
along with the sign up form or

458
00:22:04,538 --> 00:22:05,380
use a follow up link emailed to

459
00:22:05,380 --> 00:22:05,740
them at sign up.

460
00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:06,340
They must submit them no later

461
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:08,740
than two hours before

462
00:22:09,643 --> 00:22:10,378
the meeting starts.

463
00:22:10,378 --> 00:22:10,977
So for city council meetings

464
00:22:10,977 --> 00:22:13,977
that would be Monday and

465
00:22:14,148 --> 00:22:16,548
Tuesday depending on when

466
00:22:20,988 --> 00:22:21,855
the item is scheduled for.

467
00:22:21,855 --> 00:22:22,556
To ensure that a seamless user

468
00:22:22,556 --> 00:22:23,124
experience there is a seamless

469
00:22:23,124 --> 00:22:25,124
user experience we've

470
00:22:27,127 --> 00:22:27,728
integrated these tools right

471
00:22:27,728 --> 00:22:28,462
into the active areas of

472
00:22:28,462 --> 00:22:31,462
the city's existing web portal.

473
00:22:32,632 --> 00:22:33,334
When residents visit the main

474
00:22:33,334 --> 00:22:33,968
page San diego.Gov the Council

475
00:22:33,968 --> 00:22:36,968
Agenda portal or the City

476
00:22:38,906 --> 00:22:39,640
Clerk's Web page such as are

477
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,240
main San Diego slash City Clerk

478
00:22:44,411 --> 00:22:45,145
or San Diego slash L.A. Or

479
00:22:45,145 --> 00:22:45,846
the legislative calendar you'll

480
00:22:45,846 --> 00:22:46,547
be able to see it prominently

481
00:22:46,547 --> 00:22:48,947
displayed and updated headers

482
00:22:50,484 --> 00:22:51,180
with direct links to public

483
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:51,452
comment and organize

484
00:22:51,452 --> 00:22:53,452
presentations.

485
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:57,910
We have also placed comment

486
00:22:57,910 --> 00:22:57,592
button public comment buttons

487
00:22:57,592 --> 00:22:58,126
and clear links to

488
00:22:58,126 --> 00:22:58,693
the dedicated group

489
00:22:58,693 --> 00:23:00,693
presentations portal.

490
00:23:02,596 --> 00:23:03,330
Right alongside the standard

491
00:23:03,330 --> 00:23:03,965
individual comment options this

492
00:23:03,965 --> 00:23:06,365
means the community member

493
00:23:07,735 --> 00:23:08,436
doesn't have to hunt their

494
00:23:08,436 --> 00:23:09,370
pages of text just to figure

495
00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:11,437
out how to participate.

496
00:23:13,173 --> 00:23:13,808
The link is also going to be on

497
00:23:13,808 --> 00:23:14,542
the agenda just as public

498
00:23:14,542 --> 00:23:18,142
comment is today when the lead

499
00:23:19,546 --> 00:23:20,148
presenter clicks through to San

500
00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:20,748
Diego Taco presentation.

501
00:23:20,748 --> 00:23:23,748
They are brought to this

502
00:23:25,186 --> 00:23:25,853
dedicated sign up interface.

503
00:23:25,853 --> 00:23:26,521
The system prompts them to

504
00:23:26,521 --> 00:23:29,521
select the meet the specific

505
00:23:31,459 --> 00:23:32,193
meeting body which can be

506
00:23:32,193 --> 00:23:32,827
the city council meeting or any

507
00:23:32,827 --> 00:23:35,227
of the committee agendas.

508
00:23:36,730 --> 00:23:37,398
The system then prompts them to

509
00:23:37,398 --> 00:23:39,798
select the specific meeting

510
00:23:42,236 --> 00:23:42,970
date which I'll just give Kevin

511
00:23:42,970 --> 00:23:43,304
a moment to bring up the actual

512
00:23:43,304 --> 00:23:43,704
website.

513
00:23:43,704 --> 00:23:45,704
Here it is.

514
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:52,100
So you would see meeting body

515
00:23:52,947 --> 00:23:53,715
then click the calendar date

516
00:23:53,715 --> 00:23:54,115
and then input the exact agenda

517
00:23:54,115 --> 00:23:56,115
item number.

518
00:23:59,688 --> 00:24:00,488
You can also input the agenda

519
00:24:00,488 --> 00:24:01,256
item name so that they can give

520
00:24:01,256 --> 00:24:01,522
us a clue as to what item you

521
00:24:01,522 --> 00:24:03,522
are.

522
00:24:05,593 --> 00:24:06,198
If sometimes the item number

523
00:24:06,198 --> 00:24:09,198
gets missed input and it

524
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:11,799
further has them read and check

525
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:12,500
the acknowledgments to ensure

526
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:13,234
everyone understands the rules

527
00:24:13,234 --> 00:24:16,304
of the road and we are managing

528
00:24:16,304 --> 00:24:17,400
expectations.

529
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,672
Most importantly this is where

530
00:24:17,672 --> 00:24:20,720
they enter their participant

531
00:24:22,510 --> 00:24:23,100
roster and upload their slides

532
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:23,611
behind the scenes.

533
00:24:23,611 --> 00:24:26,110
The entire web interface

534
00:24:27,815 --> 00:24:28,516
features full in translations

535
00:24:28,516 --> 00:24:29,217
appear to match our city's

536
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:29,818
language access goal ensuring

537
00:24:29,818 --> 00:24:32,818
that language is never a

538
00:24:34,155 --> 00:24:34,589
barrier to organizing a group

539
00:24:34,589 --> 00:24:36,589
presentation.

540
00:24:37,859 --> 00:24:38,827
If you can go up to the top up

541
00:24:38,827 --> 00:24:41,827
Kevin and then just show

542
00:24:43,832 --> 00:24:46,832
the language in the language

543
00:24:49,604 --> 00:24:50,271
translation I can choose any

544
00:24:50,271 --> 00:24:53,271
language and it will change

545
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:54,420
the form to be in any of the 22

546
00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:54,408
languages there.

547
00:24:54,408 --> 00:24:55,343
Thank you.

548
00:24:55,343 --> 00:24:58,943
We'll go back to our PowerPoint

549
00:24:59,781 --> 00:25:02,181
presentation to keep our

550
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,721
council meetings moving

551
00:25:05,721 --> 00:25:06,421
efficiently.

552
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:06,788
The program relies on the lead

553
00:25:06,788 --> 00:25:08,788
presenter.

554
00:25:10,959 --> 00:25:11,626
This individual serves as

555
00:25:11,626 --> 00:25:12,327
the primary operational link

556
00:25:12,327 --> 00:25:13,270
between the community group or

557
00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:16,531
a group that wishes to present

558
00:25:16,531 --> 00:25:17,165
and the clerk's office.

559
00:25:17,165 --> 00:25:17,598
The lead presenter handles

560
00:25:17,598 --> 00:25:18,232
the logistics.

561
00:25:18,232 --> 00:25:20,935
They make sure everyone in

562
00:25:20,935 --> 00:25:21,736
their group understands

563
00:25:21,736 --> 00:25:22,237
the rules and they sign off on

564
00:25:22,237 --> 00:25:22,804
the formal ignore

565
00:25:22,804 --> 00:25:23,238
acknowledgments during

566
00:25:23,238 --> 00:25:25,238
registration.

567
00:25:26,474 --> 00:25:27,175
When the agenda item is finally

568
00:25:27,175 --> 00:25:30,175
called in the council chambers

569
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:31,747
it's the lead presenters job to

570
00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:32,514
verify that all listed members

571
00:25:32,514 --> 00:25:36,114
are present and know how to

572
00:25:36,651 --> 00:25:37,352
raise their hands either

573
00:25:37,352 --> 00:25:37,953
physically here in the room or

574
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:40,353
digitally on the virtual

575
00:25:41,356 --> 00:25:42,900
meeting platform so that

576
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:42,791
the clerk can accurately verify

577
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:46,391
attendance just as we do today

578
00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:47,950
with seating time.

579
00:25:47,950 --> 00:25:47,796
Now to ensure fairness and

580
00:25:47,796 --> 00:25:50,196
transparency for all speakers.

581
00:25:51,166 --> 00:25:51,733
There are established clear

582
00:25:51,733 --> 00:25:53,733
structure time rules.

583
00:25:55,337 --> 00:25:56,380
First a group must have a

584
00:25:56,380 --> 00:25:56,772
minimum of two individuals and

585
00:25:56,772 --> 00:26:00,108
the total speaking time for any

586
00:26:00,108 --> 00:26:00,909
single organized presentation

587
00:26:00,909 --> 00:26:01,509
is capped at 15 minutes to

588
00:26:01,509 --> 00:26:03,509
ensure proper meeting

589
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:05,647
management.

590
00:26:05,647 --> 00:26:06,280
How do we calculate the time?

591
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280
We multiply the number of

592
00:26:09,451 --> 00:26:10,152
verified present group speakers

593
00:26:10,152 --> 00:26:10,818
by the standard time allocated

594
00:26:10,818 --> 00:26:13,818
per person for that specific

595
00:26:15,257 --> 00:26:17,657
item on the agenda.

596
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:19,627
For example, if the item allows

597
00:26:19,627 --> 00:26:20,329
two minutes per person and a

598
00:26:20,329 --> 00:26:22,965
group has four members present

599
00:26:22,965 --> 00:26:23,365
they get an eight minute block

600
00:26:23,365 --> 00:26:25,365
to present.

601
00:26:28,169 --> 00:26:28,837
However there is an attendance

602
00:26:28,837 --> 00:26:29,537
rule Every person listed on

603
00:26:29,537 --> 00:26:33,137
the roster must all be present

604
00:26:33,242 --> 00:26:33,542
either physically or virtually

605
00:26:33,542 --> 00:26:34,309
.

606
00:26:34,309 --> 00:26:34,977
When the item is called if a

607
00:26:34,977 --> 00:26:37,377
registered member is missing

608
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,214
that portion of the time is

609
00:26:39,214 --> 00:26:39,848
forfeited and the group's total

610
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:42,248
speaking block is reduced

611
00:26:43,385 --> 00:26:44,530
accordingly.

612
00:26:44,530 --> 00:26:44,719
Currently all members of a

613
00:26:44,719 --> 00:26:45,220
group must be present in one

614
00:26:45,220 --> 00:26:47,220
attendance format.

615
00:26:49,580 --> 00:26:49,758
If they are present in a mix

616
00:26:49,758 --> 00:26:53,229
format, the way that the lead

617
00:26:53,229 --> 00:26:53,829
presenter is attending is how

618
00:26:53,829 --> 00:26:54,229
the group's time will be

619
00:26:54,229 --> 00:26:55,300
calculated.

620
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,334
For example if there is a group

621
00:26:58,334 --> 00:26:59,340
before but only two are present

622
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:02,340
in chambers with the lead

623
00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:02,571
presenter the group will only

624
00:27:02,571 --> 00:27:03,271
get three minutes.

625
00:27:03,271 --> 00:27:06,271
The virtual attendee will not

626
00:27:06,808 --> 00:27:07,409
count towards that time

627
00:27:07,409 --> 00:27:08,110
allocation vice versa if

628
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:11,110
the lead presenter is virtual

629
00:27:11,881 --> 00:27:12,548
and everyone else is present in

630
00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:15,548
chambers none of their time

631
00:27:16,850 --> 00:27:16,585
will go to them unless they

632
00:27:16,585 --> 00:27:18,585
attend virtually.

633
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:21,690
We do hope to continue to work

634
00:27:21,690 --> 00:27:22,391
through our rfp process for a

635
00:27:22,391 --> 00:27:25,991
new agenda system and zoom to

636
00:27:26,610 --> 00:27:26,695
find a technology solution to

637
00:27:26,695 --> 00:27:27,395
allow for mixed attendance

638
00:27:27,395 --> 00:27:29,795
without meeting disruption in

639
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:31,334
the future.

640
00:27:31,334 --> 00:27:32,330
Now equity means meeting our

641
00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:35,330
residents in the language they

642
00:27:35,605 --> 00:27:35,905
are most comfortable using as

643
00:27:35,905 --> 00:27:36,605
well.

644
00:27:36,605 --> 00:27:39,605
In strict alignment our equity

645
00:27:40,743 --> 00:27:41,243
objectives all in structures

646
00:27:41,243 --> 00:27:41,877
and win forms from

647
00:27:41,877 --> 00:27:42,211
the organized presentation

648
00:27:42,211 --> 00:27:42,778
process.

649
00:27:42,778 --> 00:27:44,947
Are fully available in

650
00:27:44,947 --> 00:27:45,581
the cities.

651
00:27:45,581 --> 00:27:46,248
Eight Primary Alternative

652
00:27:46,248 --> 00:27:48,648
Languages of Spanish Chinese

653
00:27:49,985 --> 00:27:50,686
Tagalog Vietnamese Arabic,

654
00:27:50,686 --> 00:27:51,320
Korean, Japanese and Laotian.

655
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,920
I will note that the only

656
00:27:55,224 --> 00:27:55,825
required language per sb 707 is

657
00:27:55,825 --> 00:27:58,825
Spanish Such a bad card.

658
00:27:59,695 --> 00:28:00,262
>> We provide full language

659
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:00,963
support and if anyone

660
00:28:00,963 --> 00:28:02,963
experiences technical glitches

661
00:28:04,567 --> 00:28:05,268
or has a question while

662
00:28:05,268 --> 00:28:05,868
navigating the portal they can

663
00:28:05,868 --> 00:28:08,868
call or email our staff

664
00:28:08,971 --> 00:28:09,371
directly for real time

665
00:28:09,371 --> 00:28:10,172
assistance.

666
00:28:10,172 --> 00:28:13,772
A new program is only effective

667
00:28:14,376 --> 00:28:14,710
if people actually know it

668
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:15,378
exists.

669
00:28:15,378 --> 00:28:16,144
To get the word out ahead of

670
00:28:16,144 --> 00:28:19,449
the JULY roll out we are

671
00:28:19,449 --> 00:28:19,949
executing a multichannel

672
00:28:19,949 --> 00:28:20,583
outreach campaign.

673
00:28:20,583 --> 00:28:22,583
This includes distributing

674
00:28:23,586 --> 00:28:24,320
physical fliers to community

675
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:24,920
homes, pushing targeted notices

676
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,920
through diversity email

677
00:28:28,857 --> 00:28:29,592
listservs and launching a

678
00:28:29,592 --> 00:28:30,159
dedicated social media campaign

679
00:28:30,159 --> 00:28:30,526
across all of the city

680
00:28:30,526 --> 00:28:32,526
channels.

681
00:28:33,729 --> 00:28:34,363
We want to ensure that

682
00:28:34,363 --> 00:28:35,670
the community organization

683
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:37,467
planning groups and grassroot

684
00:28:38,134 --> 00:28:38,768
coalitions is fully informed

685
00:28:38,768 --> 00:28:39,680
and ready to leverage this

686
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,680
tool.

687
00:28:43,206 --> 00:28:43,773
In conclusion, these actions

688
00:28:43,773 --> 00:28:44,374
represent a sustained,

689
00:28:44,374 --> 00:28:46,774
proactive and good faith

690
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:48,678
commitment to lowering barriers

691
00:28:48,678 --> 00:28:49,120
and ensuring equitable civic

692
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,120
access.

693
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:53,783
Perfectly aligning with our

694
00:28:53,783 --> 00:28:54,483
city's strategic core principle

695
00:28:54,483 --> 00:28:57,483
of equity and inclusion based

696
00:28:57,987 --> 00:28:58,654
on the extensive community

697
00:28:58,654 --> 00:28:59,289
listening, the technological

698
00:28:59,289 --> 00:29:01,689
and language upgrades and

699
00:29:03,159 --> 00:29:03,826
the deployment of the new

700
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:04,527
organized presentation tool

701
00:29:04,527 --> 00:29:06,927
staff confidently believe that

702
00:29:08,331 --> 00:29:09,320
city that the city has made

703
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,765
reasonable efforts to efforts

704
00:29:09,765 --> 00:29:12,165
to invite public participation.

705
00:29:12,802 --> 00:29:13,502
Therefore we respectfully

706
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:14,137
request that the Council adopt

707
00:29:14,137 --> 00:29:16,537
a resolution finding that

708
00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:17,773
the city of San Diego has made

709
00:29:17,773 --> 00:29:18,474
reasonable efforts to encourage

710
00:29:18,474 --> 00:29:20,474
participation from communities

711
00:29:21,744 --> 00:29:22,445
that do not traditionally

712
00:29:22,445 --> 00:29:23,213
engage in public meetings and

713
00:29:23,213 --> 00:29:26,213
direct our office to continue

714
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:26,983

715
00:29:26,983 --> 00:29:27,717
outreach initiatives.

716
00:29:27,717 --> 00:29:31,821

717
00:29:31,821 --> 00:29:32,555

719
00:29:36,826 --> 00:29:37,559
accessible to all San Diegans.

720
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:38,261
And a special thank you to

729
00:29:51,408 --> 00:29:52,800
possible.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Council PRESIDENT We received

746
00:30:10,426 --> 00:30:13,829
one request to speak from an

747
00:30:13,829 --> 00:30:14,431
individual in chambers.

748
00:30:14,431 --> 00:30:14,764
Paul Kruger please come

749
00:30:14,764 --> 00:30:16,764
forward.

750
00:30:22,505 --> 00:30:23,573
You'll have two minutes.

751
00:30:23,573 --> 00:30:27,544
I want to thank you And I had

752
00:30:27,544 --> 00:30:27,844
the time seated by Yvonne

753
00:30:27,844 --> 00:30:29,844
Jones.

754
00:30:30,947 --> 00:30:31,581
>> Yvonne Jones Okay.

755
00:30:31,581 --> 00:30:33,981
You'll have four minutes.

756
00:30:35,952 --> 00:30:36,520
Which one?

757
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,520
>> Uh, thank you.

758
00:30:40,957 --> 00:30:44,994
Um, first let me express my and

759
00:30:44,994 --> 00:30:45,662
other people's appreciation for

760
00:30:45,662 --> 00:30:46,496
all the work that the city

761
00:30:46,496 --> 00:30:50,960
clerk did in making sure that

762
00:30:51,301 --> 00:30:51,702
the council is compliant with

763
00:30:51,702 --> 00:30:53,702
seven seven.

764
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:55,772
I can tell it was a lot of work

765
00:30:55,772 --> 00:30:59,275
And those of us who participate

766
00:30:59,275 --> 00:31:02,275
in this project appreciate it.

767
00:31:04,248 --> 00:31:04,982
Um, but I wanted to use an

768
00:31:04,982 --> 00:31:05,482
opportunity here to focus again

769
00:31:05,482 --> 00:31:07,482
your attention on

770
00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:09,485
the importance of community

771
00:31:09,485 --> 00:31:11,485
planning groups.

772
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:14,724
And I do understand why we're

773
00:31:14,724 --> 00:31:17,724
moving forward with this But

774
00:31:19,663 --> 00:31:20,330
you'll hear today on the phone

775
00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:22,730
from Victoria Lou Brousseau

776
00:31:23,533 --> 00:31:24,234
who's chair of the cpc and

777
00:31:24,234 --> 00:31:27,834
she's going to speak with you

778
00:31:28,772 --> 00:31:29,472
again about how crucial a role

779
00:31:29,472 --> 00:31:30,400
community planning groups can

780
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440
play in this process.

781
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:34,678
Because one thing we know for

782
00:31:34,678 --> 00:31:35,479
sure is that these new rules

783
00:31:35,479 --> 00:31:38,479
are going to be very

784
00:31:38,982 --> 00:31:39,316
complicated for people to

785
00:31:39,316 --> 00:31:41,316
follow.

786
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,923
And that we have already or you

787
00:31:46,923 --> 00:31:47,624
have already at hand a time

788
00:31:47,624 --> 00:31:48,292
tested five decade old process

789
00:31:48,292 --> 00:31:50,692
of community planning groups

790
00:31:51,962 --> 00:31:52,862
that are prepared, shared and

791
00:31:52,862 --> 00:31:56,462
more than able to give you

792
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:57,835
information about how members

793
00:31:57,835 --> 00:32:01,305
of that community who you don't

794
00:32:01,305 --> 00:32:02,600
hear from often because

795
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,406
unfortunately they don't have

796
00:32:06,243 --> 00:32:06,943
access to a lot of counsel

797
00:32:06,943 --> 00:32:09,943
offices and are not connected

798
00:32:11,181 --> 00:32:11,949
financially and politically.

799
00:32:11,949 --> 00:32:12,616
I have to say about important

800
00:32:12,616 --> 00:32:15,553
things that are happening in

801
00:32:15,553 --> 00:32:17,553
their neighborhoods.

802
00:32:19,422 --> 00:32:20,123
I know that there has been for

803
00:32:20,123 --> 00:32:20,791
the last five years criticism

804
00:32:20,791 --> 00:32:23,191
of community planning groups

805
00:32:24,762 --> 00:32:25,496
and I would like to just urge

806
00:32:25,496 --> 00:32:28,965
you what I think planning group

807
00:32:28,965 --> 00:32:29,934
members urged from

808
00:32:29,934 --> 00:32:33,534
the beginning which is that way

809
00:32:34,538 --> 00:32:35,106
to improve the process is not

810
00:32:35,106 --> 00:32:35,806
to silence or minimize

811
00:32:35,806 --> 00:32:38,206
community planning groups but

812
00:32:39,343 --> 00:32:39,910
to continue to expand their

813
00:32:39,910 --> 00:32:41,910
representation within

814
00:32:44,448 --> 00:32:46,848
communities by making each

815
00:32:49,353 --> 00:32:49,954
council office responsible or

816
00:32:49,954 --> 00:32:52,354
encouraged to work with

817
00:32:54,291 --> 00:32:54,992
community planning groups to

818
00:32:54,992 --> 00:32:56,992
expand notification of

819
00:32:59,620 --> 00:32:59,730
vacancies, to expand

820
00:32:59,730 --> 00:33:02,130
notification of elections so

821
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:04,969
that more people participate

822
00:33:04,969 --> 00:33:08,773
and to ensure as we have done

823
00:33:08,773 --> 00:33:09,407
and in several planning groups

824
00:33:09,407 --> 00:33:11,807
that these planning groups

825
00:33:13,478 --> 00:33:14,144
represent the community.

826
00:33:14,144 --> 00:33:17,144
The biggest split of course

827
00:33:18,150 --> 00:33:18,716
would be from those who want to

828
00:33:18,716 --> 00:33:21,116
see pretty much unbridled

829
00:33:22,887 --> 00:33:25,887
development in our in our

830
00:33:27,391 --> 00:33:28,920
residential areas and how they

831
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,920
are contrasted with those who

832
00:33:32,163 --> 00:33:32,764
want to take a more measured

833
00:33:32,764 --> 00:33:34,764
and realistic approach.

834
00:33:37,735 --> 00:33:38,402
And we can encourage those who

835
00:33:38,402 --> 00:33:40,802
are underrepresented if they

836
00:33:42,106 --> 00:33:46,306
are to run for election, to win

837
00:33:47,450 --> 00:33:47,678
election and to give a very

838
00:33:47,678 --> 00:33:48,450
Democratic voice to these

839
00:33:48,450 --> 00:33:50,450
meetings.

840
00:33:51,716 --> 00:33:52,483
So in closing, I would just

841
00:33:52,483 --> 00:33:56,830
urge you to please not forgo

842
00:33:56,654 --> 00:33:57,288
the opportunity to embrace

843
00:33:57,288 --> 00:33:57,989
the constructive work that

844
00:33:57,989 --> 00:34:00,389
community planning groups can

845
00:34:01,159 --> 00:34:02,226
do.

846
00:34:02,226 --> 00:34:05,826
And excuse me to listen to

847
00:34:06,664 --> 00:34:07,432
Victoria when she calls in.

848
00:34:07,432 --> 00:34:11,320
She couldn't be here in person

849
00:34:11,669 --> 00:34:12,369
and I know that coming here in

850
00:34:12,369 --> 00:34:15,969
person and speaking to you and

851
00:34:16,607 --> 00:34:17,308
looking at you does have a bit

852
00:34:17,308 --> 00:34:17,775
more of an impact than a

853
00:34:17,775 --> 00:34:19,775
telephone call.

854
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,713
But hers will only be two

855
00:34:21,713 --> 00:34:22,800
minutes and I appreciate your

856
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,800
attention.

857
00:34:25,383 --> 00:34:25,884
Thank you very much.

858
00:34:25,884 --> 00:34:26,584
>> Thank you.

859
00:34:26,584 --> 00:34:27,318
That does conclude the public

860
00:34:27,318 --> 00:34:29,718
comment hearing Council chamber

861
00:34:30,154 --> 00:34:30,855
is going to those participating

862
00:34:30,855 --> 00:34:31,389
remotely currently have seven

863
00:34:31,389 --> 00:34:33,789
people in the queue.

864
00:34:34,659 --> 00:34:37,659
Kate Callaghan If you can

865
00:34:38,563 --> 00:34:39,620
please unmute.

866
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:39,898
>> Good afternoon.

867
00:34:39,898 --> 00:34:42,898
When this item came before

868
00:34:43,401 --> 00:34:44,200
the rules Committee several of

869
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:44,735
us urged that community

870
00:34:44,735 --> 00:34:48,335
planning groups be given a seat

871
00:34:48,539 --> 00:34:49,139
at the table.

872
00:34:49,139 --> 00:34:49,708
Council PRESIDENT LaCava

873
00:34:49,708 --> 00:34:50,141
responded that we were

874
00:34:50,141 --> 00:34:52,141
misunderstood.

875
00:34:53,478 --> 00:34:54,120
Why the council was discussing

876
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:54,713
community outreach.

877
00:34:54,713 --> 00:34:57,113
There was no misunderstanding.

878
00:34:57,916 --> 00:34:58,516
We rarely have the chance to

879
00:34:58,516 --> 00:35:00,916
point out publicly that

880
00:35:02,487 --> 00:35:03,540
the city has failed a genuine

881
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:03,722
community engagement.

882
00:35:03,722 --> 00:35:04,550
That's where planning groups

883
00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:06,550
come in.

884
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:08,693
There are members who are

885
00:35:08,693 --> 00:35:09,295
elected to serve the public

886
00:35:09,295 --> 00:35:12,130
just as all of you were.

887
00:35:12,130 --> 00:35:12,830
For 50 years they have carried

888
00:35:12,830 --> 00:35:13,331
out their mandate to speak for

889
00:35:13,331 --> 00:35:15,331
their communities.

890
00:35:16,534 --> 00:35:17,135
They survived an ugly campaign

891
00:35:17,135 --> 00:35:19,535
by special interest that

892
00:35:21,273 --> 00:35:21,773
questioned their integrity and

893
00:35:21,773 --> 00:35:22,339
their competence.

894
00:35:22,339 --> 00:35:24,339
They emerged stronger.

895
00:35:26,770 --> 00:35:26,778
They continue to represent San

896
00:35:26,778 --> 00:35:27,112
Diegans who are too often

897
00:35:27,112 --> 00:35:29,112
ignored.

898
00:35:31,516 --> 00:35:32,217
If you care about community

899
00:35:32,217 --> 00:35:32,851
engagement please adopt a seat

900
00:35:32,851 --> 00:35:35,851
at the table proposal that

901
00:35:36,588 --> 00:35:36,988
Victoria Brousseau has put

902
00:35:36,988 --> 00:35:37,756
before you.

903
00:35:37,756 --> 00:35:41,359
It is the best way to make sure

904
00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:41,993
that people and communities are

905
00:35:41,993 --> 00:35:42,360
represented and heard and

906
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,360
respected.

907
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:46,598
Thank you.

908
00:35:46,598 --> 00:35:47,632
Thank you.

909
00:35:47,632 --> 00:35:51,232
Next is 8700 If you can please

910
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,108
unmute.

911
00:35:56,108 --> 00:35:58,508
>> Thank you so much.

912
00:36:00,913 --> 00:36:01,513
I support this resolution on

913
00:36:01,513 --> 00:36:02,214
group participation and

914
00:36:02,214 --> 00:36:04,214
community engagement efforts.

915
00:36:05,583 --> 00:36:08,583
Well there were 15 items in

916
00:36:08,819 --> 00:36:09,420
the backup and the staff report

917
00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:10,880
itself was 12 pages.

918
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:10,489
What does that tell you?

919
00:36:10,489 --> 00:36:12,489
Great job.

920
00:36:13,391 --> 00:36:14,920
I especially appreciate

921
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,692
the office of the city clerk

922
00:36:18,129 --> 00:36:18,730
Fuentes and the rest of

923
00:36:18,730 --> 00:36:21,130
the team for encouraging

924
00:36:23,268 --> 00:36:24,360
participative participation of

925
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,360
individuals and groups that do

926
00:36:27,705 --> 00:36:28,240
not traditionally participate

927
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,240
in public meetings.

928
00:36:32,744 --> 00:36:33,144
Please speak up and let us hear

929
00:36:33,144 --> 00:36:35,144
your voice.

930
00:36:37,482 --> 00:36:38,500
Is that for me?

931
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:38,484
I enjoyed hearing your

932
00:36:38,484 --> 00:36:40,484
presentation.

933
00:36:41,619 --> 00:36:42,354
City Clerk 20 For the second

934
00:36:42,354 --> 00:36:45,354
time This is a stellar

935
00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:46,592
initiative and so is your

936
00:36:46,592 --> 00:36:48,592
implementation of it.

937
00:36:50,996 --> 00:36:53,999
I'm so excited about it being

938
00:36:53,999 --> 00:36:57,599
rolled out by the rolling out

939
00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:59,137
on JULY 1st, 2026 with

940
00:36:59,137 --> 00:37:02,137
the first real City Council

941
00:37:02,740 --> 00:37:05,140
meeting on JULY 6th, 2026.

942
00:37:07,345 --> 00:37:07,946
I love the inclusion Inclusion

943
00:37:07,946 --> 00:37:09,946
Public Engagement Guide.

944
00:37:12,251 --> 00:37:13,118
That was a great idea.

945
00:37:13,118 --> 00:37:17,189
Now this is kind of a finishing

946
00:37:17,189 --> 00:37:18,570
paragraph with something else

947
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:18,791
came up just a few minutes ago

948
00:37:18,791 --> 00:37:19,391
that I want to add to it So

949
00:37:19,391 --> 00:37:21,791
I'll say this first.

950
00:37:22,940 --> 00:37:22,794
Please keep on top of any

951
00:37:22,794 --> 00:37:25,194
additional funding that is

952
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:28,999
needed over the 2027 budget.

953
00:37:31,937 --> 00:37:32,805
Let's keep this fire burning.

954
00:37:32,805 --> 00:37:35,805
So on the community planning

955
00:37:36,508 --> 00:37:37,276
groups I really haven't looked

956
00:37:37,276 --> 00:37:41,460
at that but I can tell there's

957
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:41,647
an issue in this passion around

958
00:37:41,647 --> 00:37:44,470
the item including them.

959
00:37:45,885 --> 00:37:46,584
What I just wanted to say is

960
00:37:46,584 --> 00:37:50,184
that I know there's been some

961
00:37:50,422 --> 00:37:51,123
bumpy moments with

962
00:37:51,123 --> 00:37:51,824
the community planning groups

963
00:37:51,824 --> 00:37:54,824
yet I really respect PRESIDENT

964
00:37:55,493 --> 00:37:55,995
Carver's participation you

965
00:37:55,995 --> 00:37:57,995
know, leadership.

966
00:38:00,433 --> 00:38:01,200
He's been very involved with

967
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,100
those groups and he really is

968
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:06,138
on top of of kind of what's

969
00:38:06,138 --> 00:38:06,472
going on in the future and all

970
00:38:06,472 --> 00:38:07,306
of that.

971
00:38:07,306 --> 00:38:07,840
>> So what I just want your

972
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,840
time has concluded.

973
00:38:13,450 --> 00:38:13,379
John, if you can please unmute

974
00:38:13,379 --> 00:38:13,779
.

975
00:38:13,779 --> 00:38:14,246
>> Hi.

976
00:38:14,246 --> 00:38:16,246
Good afternoon.

977
00:38:18,751 --> 00:38:19,385
Council members.

978
00:38:19,385 --> 00:38:20,520
MISS Congratulations.

979
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,520
This is really amazing work.

980
00:38:23,689 --> 00:38:24,490
It shows a lot of thought.

981
00:38:24,490 --> 00:38:25,191
A lot of the changes that we've

982
00:38:25,191 --> 00:38:28,160
been hoping might be included

983
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,928
in this are really love

984
00:38:28,928 --> 00:38:32,528
the ability to have a group

985
00:38:32,899 --> 00:38:33,566
participate particularly for

986
00:38:33,566 --> 00:38:35,966
those with disabilities who

987
00:38:37,837 --> 00:38:38,704
cannot show up in person.

988
00:38:38,704 --> 00:38:39,405
>> And speaking of which, I was

989
00:38:39,405 --> 00:38:42,405
wondering if there was any

990
00:38:42,875 --> 00:38:43,743
accommodation provided.

991
00:38:43,743 --> 00:38:44,342
I know we give extra time for

992
00:38:44,342 --> 00:38:46,742
folks that have language

993
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:48,748
barriers or need translation.

994
00:38:48,748 --> 00:38:52,118
I feel that the same courtesy

995
00:38:52,118 --> 00:38:52,819
might want to be extended to

996
00:38:52,819 --> 00:38:55,819
those who have challenges with

997
00:38:56,189 --> 00:38:57,890
speech or speech impediments

998
00:38:57,890 --> 00:39:01,289
that cause them to not be able

999
00:39:01,327 --> 00:39:01,828
to articulate effectively or as

1000
00:39:01,828 --> 00:39:03,828
quickly as others.

1001
00:39:06,999 --> 00:39:07,767
The other thing I do I'm not

1002
00:39:07,767 --> 00:39:08,568
sure if I heard but I would be

1003
00:39:08,568 --> 00:39:12,710
nice to read to be able to read

1004
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:12,839
this during neutral position as

1005
00:39:12,839 --> 00:39:15,775
opposed to for or against as we

1006
00:39:15,775 --> 00:39:16,609
sign in for these things.

1007
00:39:16,609 --> 00:39:17,510
I do have one other suggestion

1008
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:21,710
for you but that will take more

1009
00:39:22,248 --> 00:39:22,948
time so I'll reach out to you

1010
00:39:22,948 --> 00:39:23,248
independently but really great

1011
00:39:23,248 --> 00:39:23,883
work.

1012
00:39:23,883 --> 00:39:24,183
They're very supportive of

1013
00:39:24,183 --> 00:39:26,183
this.

1014
00:39:26,886 --> 00:39:27,520
I agree that Thank you Francine

1015
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:27,853
Maxwell if you can please

1016
00:39:27,853 --> 00:39:29,853
unmute.

1017
00:39:29,856 --> 00:39:30,556
>> There was also the five

1018
00:39:30,556 --> 00:39:31,124
minute time where we have five

1019
00:39:31,124 --> 00:39:31,824
speakers in the queue.

1020
00:39:31,824 --> 00:39:32,625
No additional speakers will be

1021
00:39:32,625 --> 00:39:33,660
taken.

1022
00:39:33,660 --> 00:39:36,660
>> Francine Maxwell if you can

1023
00:39:37,163 --> 00:39:37,697
please.

1024
00:39:37,697 --> 00:39:38,430
>> Francine Maxwell

1025
00:39:38,430 --> 00:39:38,998
Southeastern San Diego resident

1026
00:39:38,998 --> 00:39:41,998
Thank you so much for

1027
00:39:42,735 --> 00:39:43,690
the presentation and for

1028
00:39:43,690 --> 00:39:43,770
support.

1029
00:39:43,770 --> 00:39:47,207
Really want the Council to pay

1030
00:39:47,207 --> 00:39:47,707
attention to what the clerk's

1031
00:39:47,707 --> 00:39:48,641
office staff does.

1032
00:39:48,641 --> 00:39:52,344
You get a glimpse of it but

1033
00:39:52,344 --> 00:39:53,120
literally they're not supposed

1034
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:53,646
to work on the weekends with

1035
00:39:53,646 --> 00:39:54,280
some of them, do their due

1036
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,280
diligence and go ahead and

1037
00:39:57,283 --> 00:39:58,180
answer a quick question on

1038
00:39:58,180 --> 00:39:58,351
the weekend unlike many of your

1039
00:39:58,351 --> 00:40:00,351
offices.

1040
00:40:01,888 --> 00:40:02,689
So want to make sure that you

1041
00:40:02,689 --> 00:40:06,159
look at the diversity of when

1042
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:06,526
the meetings were very

1043
00:40:06,526 --> 00:40:08,526
inclusive.

1044
00:40:11,298 --> 00:40:11,998
You did not have to send for

1045
00:40:11,998 --> 00:40:12,432
council for someone to consult

1046
00:40:12,432 --> 00:40:14,432
from Colorado.

1047
00:40:16,135 --> 00:40:16,870
I think we were doing a parking

1048
00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:17,804
rack or we were doing something

1049
00:40:17,804 --> 00:40:20,907
in water area and we had a

1050
00:40:20,907 --> 00:40:21,674
consultant from Colorado.

1051
00:40:21,674 --> 00:40:25,274
So I mean literally you have

1052
00:40:25,578 --> 00:40:26,120
stars right there in

1053
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:26,713
the building.

1054
00:40:26,713 --> 00:40:27,413
I mean some stars are getting

1055
00:40:27,413 --> 00:40:30,413
stuck in elevators but they're

1056
00:40:30,483 --> 00:40:31,418
still a star.

1057
00:40:31,418 --> 00:40:35,588
And again, we want to make sure

1058
00:40:35,588 --> 00:40:36,289
that everyone is educated in

1059
00:40:36,289 --> 00:40:39,289
and if hopefully the council

1060
00:40:40,526 --> 00:40:41,228
people that have newsletters

1061
00:40:41,228 --> 00:40:41,895
maybe you'll put a corner

1062
00:40:41,895 --> 00:40:44,295
clerk's corner in your

1063
00:40:45,865 --> 00:40:46,533
newsletter so that while you're

1064
00:40:46,533 --> 00:40:47,234
showing the wonderful events

1065
00:40:47,234 --> 00:40:50,670
that you go to the handouts of

1066
00:40:50,670 --> 00:40:51,471
resolution and certificates

1067
00:40:51,471 --> 00:40:54,471
proclamations that you can help

1068
00:40:54,941 --> 00:40:55,708
educate.

1069
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:56,109
Again, education is the key to

1070
00:40:56,109 --> 00:40:58,109
everything.

1071
00:41:00,447 --> 00:41:01,114
And a Clerks Corner and

1072
00:41:01,114 --> 00:41:03,114
everybody's newsletter could

1073
00:41:04,918 --> 00:41:05,518
give people insight on how to

1074
00:41:05,518 --> 00:41:08,518
work the system, how to

1075
00:41:09,856 --> 00:41:10,523
participate more in their city

1076
00:41:10,523 --> 00:41:11,223
government because they know

1077
00:41:11,223 --> 00:41:14,223
that their voice really counts

1078
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:15,495
and it counts more than just

1079
00:41:15,495 --> 00:41:16,196
election season.

1080
00:41:16,196 --> 00:41:19,196
So again, thanks to every

1081
00:41:19,766 --> 00:41:20,300
person in that works for

1082
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:22,300
the clerk's office.

1083
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:24,671
You are absolutely seen we are

1084
00:41:24,671 --> 00:41:25,372
listening to you and we

1085
00:41:25,372 --> 00:41:25,705
appreciate your time and your

1086
00:41:25,705 --> 00:41:27,705
talent.

1087
00:41:30,770 --> 00:41:30,377
Thank you for allowing me to

1088
00:41:30,377 --> 00:41:30,744
speak.

1089
00:41:30,744 --> 00:41:31,612
Thank you.

1090
00:41:31,612 --> 00:41:34,381
Blair Beckman if you can please

1091
00:41:34,381 --> 00:41:34,781
unmute.

1092
00:41:34,781 --> 00:41:36,781
>> Hi.

1093
00:41:38,819 --> 00:41:39,253
Where Beckman are San Diego

1094
00:41:39,253 --> 00:41:39,887
Civic Center.

1095
00:41:39,887 --> 00:41:40,354
Elevators are starting to

1096
00:41:40,354 --> 00:41:40,721
become infamous.

1097
00:41:40,721 --> 00:41:42,721
Good luck.

1098
00:41:43,891 --> 00:41:44,658
We can fix them elevators soon.

1099
00:41:44,658 --> 00:41:48,258
Thanks a lot for this item.

1100
00:41:48,598 --> 00:41:49,129
i'm in full agreement with

1101
00:41:49,129 --> 00:41:51,129
the public comment.

1102
00:41:52,966 --> 00:41:53,634
Stellar was used as a word.

1103
00:41:53,634 --> 00:41:56,634
The concept that you are

1104
00:41:57,703 --> 00:41:58,372
allowing over 20 plus languages

1105
00:41:58,372 --> 00:42:01,372
so people can attend city

1106
00:42:02,242 --> 00:42:03,430
council meetings now I was

1107
00:42:03,430 --> 00:42:03,743
living in San Diego in 1986

1108
00:42:03,743 --> 00:42:06,743
when they created English only

1109
00:42:07,514 --> 00:42:08,181
laws that I feel were just

1110
00:42:08,181 --> 00:42:08,482
learning to work through San

1111
00:42:08,482 --> 00:42:10,482
Diego.

1112
00:42:12,453 --> 00:42:13,120
San Jose made really

1113
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,520
significant strides in these

1114
00:42:15,989 --> 00:42:16,390
sort of efforts in the mid and

1115
00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:17,191
the 2015.

1116
00:42:17,191 --> 00:42:20,791
You guys are coming through now

1117
00:42:21,228 --> 00:42:21,895
San Diego San Jose's practicing

1118
00:42:21,895 --> 00:42:22,429
what you're offering now and

1119
00:42:22,429 --> 00:42:23,970
thank you immensely.

1120
00:42:23,970 --> 00:42:25,497
That means everyone can

1121
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,168
participate.

1122
00:42:27,168 --> 00:42:27,801
That's an amazing concept we

1123
00:42:27,801 --> 00:42:28,168
haven't grasped fully yet.

1124
00:42:28,168 --> 00:42:30,168
Good luck.

1125
00:42:31,571 --> 00:42:32,339
We can continue to do that.

1126
00:42:32,339 --> 00:42:36,539
Thank you for the idea of a

1127
00:42:37,311 --> 00:42:38,450
neutral voice to vote to to put

1128
00:42:38,450 --> 00:42:38,946
in your speaker card on issues.

1129
00:42:38,946 --> 00:42:40,947
I'm totally in favor of that

1130
00:42:40,947 --> 00:42:41,882
idea.

1131
00:42:41,882 --> 00:42:42,683
I was a bit surprised that, you

1132
00:42:42,683 --> 00:42:45,683
know, in working with community

1133
00:42:46,353 --> 00:42:47,870
groups a very nice speech

1134
00:42:47,870 --> 00:42:50,870
earlier that upon the beginning

1135
00:42:50,357 --> 00:42:51,240
public speaker that really

1136
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:51,725
described the importance of

1137
00:42:51,725 --> 00:42:52,393
community groups and what our

1138
00:42:52,393 --> 00:42:54,793
current community groups are

1139
00:42:55,930 --> 00:42:56,630
working towards.

1140
00:42:56,630 --> 00:42:57,198
I mean it's a really

1141
00:42:57,198 --> 00:42:59,198
participatory process.

1142
00:42:59,967 --> 00:43:00,701
It's in our decency while

1143
00:43:00,701 --> 00:43:03,701
others have money to accomplish

1144
00:43:04,438 --> 00:43:05,106
things, a group of community is

1145
00:43:05,106 --> 00:43:05,673
trying to offer ways that

1146
00:43:05,673 --> 00:43:06,340
people who don't have

1147
00:43:06,340 --> 00:43:09,510
advantages can be a part of

1148
00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:09,843
the process and help create our

1149
00:43:09,843 --> 00:43:10,677
process.

1150
00:43:10,677 --> 00:43:14,181
>> I really hope that can be

1151
00:43:14,181 --> 00:43:15,490
better expressed.

1152
00:43:15,490 --> 00:43:15,649
It seems like you cut things

1153
00:43:15,649 --> 00:43:16,550
short a bit on the Zoom

1154
00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:19,287
comments on how to do that Even

1155
00:43:19,287 --> 00:43:19,687
better.

1156
00:43:19,687 --> 00:43:20,454
Good luck.

1157
00:43:20,454 --> 00:43:21,322
You can continue that work and

1158
00:43:21,322 --> 00:43:24,825
effort on that on those issues

1159
00:43:24,825 --> 00:43:25,526
and San Diego County government

1160
00:43:25,526 --> 00:43:28,526
is working on a subcommittee

1161
00:43:29,596 --> 00:43:30,298
process They've taken notes

1162
00:43:30,298 --> 00:43:33,298
from 707 like the close agenda

1163
00:43:34,502 --> 00:43:35,202
item things but they need a bit

1164
00:43:35,202 --> 00:43:35,836
of help in how to better

1165
00:43:35,836 --> 00:43:38,236
understand its future that

1166
00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:40,808
respects privacy.

1167
00:43:40,808 --> 00:43:41,750
>> Good luck on those efforts

1168
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:43,750
too.

1169
00:43:48,616 --> 00:43:49,850
Thank you Victoria Lorenzo Hey

1170
00:43:49,850 --> 00:43:51,850
good afternoon.

1171
00:43:54,288 --> 00:43:54,956
Council members Victoria

1172
00:43:54,956 --> 00:43:55,757
Brousseau, Chair of the cpc.

1173
00:43:55,757 --> 00:43:56,524
First I want to thank Paul for

1174
00:43:56,524 --> 00:43:59,227
showing up and giving this

1175
00:43:59,227 --> 00:43:59,994
comment since afternoon.

1176
00:43:59,994 --> 00:44:00,728
I also want to thank the city

1177
00:44:00,728 --> 00:44:04,650
Clerk office for all the great

1178
00:44:04,650 --> 00:44:04,766
advancements with

1179
00:44:04,766 --> 00:44:05,433
the distributing distributing

1180
00:44:05,433 --> 00:44:07,833
information but continue to

1181
00:44:08,502 --> 00:44:09,170
encourage the city clerk and

1182
00:44:09,170 --> 00:44:09,871
the City council to continue

1183
00:44:09,871 --> 00:44:11,871
refining public participation

1184
00:44:13,408 --> 00:44:14,750
allowing time to be seated

1185
00:44:14,750 --> 00:44:14,409
virtually is a great step

1186
00:44:14,409 --> 00:44:15,760
forward.

1187
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:15,610
However, I remain concerned

1188
00:44:15,610 --> 00:44:17,610
about the organized

1189
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,580
presentation process.

1190
00:44:19,580 --> 00:44:20,281
Under the new rules volunteers

1191
00:44:20,281 --> 00:44:22,681
must identify speakers gather

1192
00:44:24,218 --> 00:44:24,919
commitments to cede time,

1193
00:44:24,919 --> 00:44:25,420
collect names and submit those

1194
00:44:25,420 --> 00:44:27,420
names in advance.

1195
00:44:28,122 --> 00:44:28,790
That adds another level of

1196
00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:29,457
coordination for volunteers

1197
00:44:29,457 --> 00:44:29,857
that already donate time to

1198
00:44:29,857 --> 00:44:31,857
participate.

1199
00:44:33,327 --> 00:44:33,961
As for robust public

1200
00:44:33,961 --> 00:44:34,662
engagement, I continue to

1201
00:44:34,662 --> 00:44:37,662
advocate that the city already

1202
00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:38,766
has an established network of

1203
00:44:38,766 --> 00:44:41,166
community planning groups made

1204
00:44:41,602 --> 00:44:42,303
up of more than 600 elected

1205
00:44:42,303 --> 00:44:44,703
volunteers serving San Diego.

1206
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:47,242
If you truly want to strengthen

1207
00:44:47,242 --> 00:44:47,942
public engagement, the answer

1208
00:44:47,942 --> 00:44:51,412
is to provide with the cpses a

1209
00:44:51,412 --> 00:44:52,130
seat at the table and

1210
00:44:52,130 --> 00:44:52,714
empowering and promoting

1211
00:44:52,714 --> 00:44:55,114
the community elected voices.

1212
00:44:56,351 --> 00:44:57,510
This would complement public

1213
00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:57,819
comment, not replace it and

1214
00:44:57,819 --> 00:45:00,819
provide a predictable way for

1215
00:45:01,422 --> 00:45:01,789
organized community voices to

1216
00:45:01,789 --> 00:45:02,422
be heard.

1217
00:45:02,422 --> 00:45:04,822
As the Planning Department

1218
00:45:05,827 --> 00:45:06,561
continues to reduce the role of

1219
00:45:06,561 --> 00:45:07,195
CPGs, I urge the City Council

1220
00:45:07,195 --> 00:45:10,195
to move in the opposite

1221
00:45:10,998 --> 00:45:11,699
direction, strengthen not

1222
00:45:11,699 --> 00:45:14,699
diminish the role by formally

1223
00:45:16,204 --> 00:45:16,638
providing CPGs and cpc a seat

1224
00:45:16,638 --> 00:45:17,272
at the table.

1225
00:45:17,272 --> 00:45:20,272
If the city wants stronger

1226
00:45:21,176 --> 00:45:21,810
public engagement it should

1227
00:45:21,810 --> 00:45:22,477
actively promote community

1228
00:45:22,477 --> 00:45:25,477
planning groups as the local

1229
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:26,481
connection between residents

1230
00:45:26,481 --> 00:45:27,215
and City Hall.

1231
00:45:27,215 --> 00:45:30,815
Not leave each cpg to create

1232
00:45:31,353 --> 00:45:31,953
its own public awareness Bpg

1233
00:45:31,953 --> 00:45:34,953
and the cpc should be

1234
00:45:36,910 --> 00:45:36,524
the city's front door to civic

1235
00:45:36,524 --> 00:45:37,910
participation.

1236
00:45:37,910 --> 00:45:40,910
Thank you again and I

1237
00:45:41,529 --> 00:45:42,297
appreciate the time to speak

1238
00:45:42,297 --> 00:45:42,864
with you guys and wish I could

1239
00:45:42,864 --> 00:45:43,632
have come down there.

1240
00:45:43,632 --> 00:45:46,632
But Scripps Ranches is further

1241
00:45:46,835 --> 00:45:47,402
out and takes a lot more time

1242
00:45:47,402 --> 00:45:48,270
and a lot more money.

1243
00:45:48,270 --> 00:45:51,206
So I speak when I can and I

1244
00:45:51,206 --> 00:45:51,840
appreciate you all giving

1245
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,173
attention to this matter.

1246
00:45:52,173 --> 00:45:52,541
Thanks.

1247
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:54,541
Thank you.

1248
00:45:56,745 --> 00:45:57,412
Next is Peggy Walker and then

1249
00:45:57,412 --> 00:45:57,945
our final speaker is Natalie

1250
00:45:57,945 --> 00:45:58,280
asking Peggy please.

1251
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,280
And you.

1252
00:46:00,849 --> 00:46:01,516
Thank you.

1253
00:46:01,516 --> 00:46:02,183
Good afternoon And thank you

1254
00:46:02,183 --> 00:46:04,583
for explaining this process.

1255
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,210
All efforts to increase public

1256
00:46:06,210 --> 00:46:06,621
participation in the governing

1257
00:46:06,621 --> 00:46:09,621
process are good and in

1258
00:46:10,492 --> 00:46:11,930
particular allowance for

1259
00:46:11,930 --> 00:46:11,693
seeding time for virtual

1260
00:46:11,693 --> 00:46:14,930
participants as well as

1261
00:46:15,563 --> 00:46:16,263
in-person events.

1262
00:46:16,263 --> 00:46:16,998
Solid equity improve allowing

1263
00:46:16,998 --> 00:46:18,998
organized virtual presentations

1264
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:21,670
levels the playing field for

1265
00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:23,670
all constituents especially

1266
00:46:25,540 --> 00:46:26,174
those like myself who observe

1267
00:46:26,174 --> 00:46:26,907
and participate in these

1268
00:46:26,907 --> 00:46:29,907
meetings from an office finding

1269
00:46:30,512 --> 00:46:31,213
it hard to make regular trips

1270
00:46:31,213 --> 00:46:34,213
to council chambers and our

1271
00:46:34,716 --> 00:46:35,417
mobile society.

1272
00:46:35,417 --> 00:46:36,118
Virtual participation deserves

1273
00:46:36,118 --> 00:46:39,118
to be recognized as important

1274
00:46:39,888 --> 00:46:40,656
as in-person participation.

1275
00:46:40,656 --> 00:46:44,256
It has enabled me, for example

1276
00:46:44,527 --> 00:46:45,294
and I'm sure others to speak to

1277
00:46:45,294 --> 00:46:49,463
issues when I'm not in town or

1278
00:46:49,463 --> 00:46:50,132
able to drive downtown.

1279
00:46:50,132 --> 00:46:50,799
And finally I attend my

1280
00:46:50,799 --> 00:46:53,199
planning group and strongly

1281
00:46:54,536 --> 00:46:55,236
support the suggestions earlier

1282
00:46:55,236 --> 00:46:55,903
of giving planning groups a

1283
00:46:55,903 --> 00:46:58,903
greater seat at the table

1284
00:46:59,575 --> 00:47:00,275
including expanding council

1285
00:47:00,275 --> 00:47:02,675
member or staff communication

1286
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:05,547
with pages in their districts.

1287
00:47:05,547 --> 00:47:08,547
Planning groups are the best

1288
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:10,352
way to strengthen a community

1289
00:47:10,352 --> 00:47:11,850
link to the council and they

1290
00:47:11,850 --> 00:47:14,850
should be recognized for their

1291
00:47:14,423 --> 00:47:14,889
importance.

1292
00:47:14,889 --> 00:47:15,290
Thank you.

1293
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:15,924
Thank you.

1294
00:47:15,924 --> 00:47:16,392
And our final speaker is

1295
00:47:16,392 --> 00:47:18,392
Natalie Raskin.

1296
00:47:23,565 --> 00:47:23,933
If you can please unmute and

1297
00:47:23,933 --> 00:47:25,933
thank you.

1298
00:47:26,902 --> 00:47:27,569
Another thing that I think is

1299
00:47:27,569 --> 00:47:30,569
an amazing idea having more

1300
00:47:31,674 --> 00:47:31,974
involved and having the ability

1301
00:47:31,974 --> 00:47:33,974
.

1302
00:47:35,477 --> 00:47:35,978
I think that you're a little

1303
00:47:35,978 --> 00:47:36,812
jumbled up here.

1304
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:37,212
You sound a little bit Can you

1305
00:47:37,212 --> 00:47:39,212
hear me now?

1306
00:47:41,550 --> 00:47:42,510
Yes, that's better.

1307
00:47:42,510 --> 00:47:42,551
>> Please proceed.

1308
00:47:42,551 --> 00:47:44,551
I'm multitasking.

1309
00:47:45,721 --> 00:47:46,555
I think it's it's amazing.

1310
00:47:46,555 --> 00:47:47,189
I think having the opportunity

1311
00:47:47,189 --> 00:47:49,589
for the community support

1312
00:47:52,128 --> 00:47:53,729
involved is the best thing

1313
00:47:53,729 --> 00:47:56,729
moving forward in this case.

1314
00:47:58,701 --> 00:47:59,101
Feel a little sympathy stomach

1315
00:47:59,101 --> 00:48:01,101
for what?

1316
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:06,640
That's what I'm on.

1317
00:48:08,110 --> 00:48:08,878
We have to curb that and help

1318
00:48:08,878 --> 00:48:12,948
People are also a part of how

1319
00:48:12,948 --> 00:48:13,716
we best when we go.

1320
00:48:13,716 --> 00:48:16,716
People that forget they are

1321
00:48:17,586 --> 00:48:19,586
part of it.

1322
00:48:22,391 --> 00:48:25,391
You're cutting out again Not

1323
00:48:25,895 --> 00:48:27,895
hear me?

1324
00:48:34,904 --> 00:48:35,671
>> You are cutting out again

1325
00:48:35,671 --> 00:48:39,271
and we no longer hear you.

1326
00:48:40,476 --> 00:48:41,177
I'm sorry.

1327
00:48:41,177 --> 00:48:41,877
You can definitely submit

1328
00:48:41,877 --> 00:48:42,545
comments to City clerk at San

1329
00:48:42,545 --> 00:48:44,647
diego.Gov and those will be

1330
00:48:44,647 --> 00:48:47,470
distributed to the council.

1331
00:48:49,919 --> 00:48:50,585
But we have lost you.

1332
00:48:50,585 --> 00:48:51,187
That does include public

1333
00:48:51,187 --> 00:48:51,854
comment here in council

1334
00:48:51,854 --> 00:48:53,756
chambers And regarding this

1335
00:48:53,756 --> 00:48:54,356
item.

1336
00:48:54,356 --> 00:48:54,924
>> All right.

1337
00:48:54,924 --> 00:48:57,324
Thank you City Clerk.

1338
00:48:59,829 --> 00:49:00,396
This now goes back to

1339
00:49:00,396 --> 00:49:00,996
the Council to ratify

1340
00:49:00,996 --> 00:49:01,631
the community engagement

1341
00:49:01,631 --> 00:49:04,631
process and whether it met

1342
00:49:04,933 --> 00:49:07,933
the standards of the 707 In

1343
00:49:09,104 --> 00:49:09,806
addition to the extraordinary

1344
00:49:09,806 --> 00:49:10,573
training session that the city

1345
00:49:10,573 --> 00:49:14,543
clerk gave us on how this new

1346
00:49:14,543 --> 00:49:15,178
process will move forward.

1347
00:49:15,178 --> 00:49:18,178
So I'll kick things off.

1348
00:49:19,882 --> 00:49:20,516
So again, thank you to Clark

1349
00:49:20,516 --> 00:49:21,117
Francis and your team for

1350
00:49:21,117 --> 00:49:21,851
the work and as well as

1351
00:49:21,851 --> 00:49:23,853
the office of the City Attorney

1352
00:49:23,853 --> 00:49:24,320
and everybody else that engaged

1353
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,320
in this process.

1354
00:49:27,457 --> 00:49:28,157
And as a reminder sb 707

1355
00:49:28,157 --> 00:49:31,561
requires us to put this in

1356
00:49:31,561 --> 00:49:32,228
place by JULY 1st and our very

1357
00:49:32,228 --> 00:49:32,929
first council meeting where

1358
00:49:32,929 --> 00:49:36,529
we'll be using this new system

1359
00:49:36,899 --> 00:49:37,834
will be Monday, JULY sixth.

1360
00:49:37,834 --> 00:49:40,970
Sb 7 or 7 has many elements but

1361
00:49:40,970 --> 00:49:41,571
for the public the most obvious

1362
00:49:41,571 --> 00:49:42,205
will be the changes to

1363
00:49:42,205 --> 00:49:45,205
the agenda to comply with

1364
00:49:46,409 --> 00:49:47,110
translation requirements and

1365
00:49:47,110 --> 00:49:47,744
changes to the public comment

1366
00:49:47,744 --> 00:49:50,144
procedures to ensure equal

1367
00:49:51,281 --> 00:49:51,915
treatment of in-person and

1368
00:49:51,915 --> 00:49:52,582
virtual public commenters.

1369
00:49:52,582 --> 00:49:54,982
Virtual public commerce will

1370
00:49:56,552 --> 00:49:57,320
now allow seeding of time a

1371
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,520
first for the City of San Diego

1372
00:50:01,658 --> 00:50:02,358
Sacramento path sb 707 with

1373
00:50:02,358 --> 00:50:02,959
good intentions but provided a

1374
00:50:02,959 --> 00:50:05,359
very short timeline for

1375
00:50:06,429 --> 00:50:06,996
implementation and no

1376
00:50:06,996 --> 00:50:07,664
additional resources.

1377
00:50:07,664 --> 00:50:10,640
Nevertheless, the City clerk

1378
00:50:11,134 --> 00:50:11,701
remain undaunted and was ready

1379
00:50:11,701 --> 00:50:12,402
to take up the charge.

1380
00:50:12,402 --> 00:50:15,402
And with our current staffing

1381
00:50:15,504 --> 00:50:16,104
levels and with technology

1382
00:50:16,104 --> 00:50:16,839
currently available in

1383
00:50:16,839 --> 00:50:17,440
the marketplace it became clear

1384
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,440
that we could not fully

1385
00:50:20,443 --> 00:50:21,177
replicate our existing

1386
00:50:21,177 --> 00:50:21,611
in-person processes for virtual

1387
00:50:21,611 --> 00:50:23,611
participation.

1388
00:50:26,820 --> 00:50:26,783
So council had a choice either

1389
00:50:26,783 --> 00:50:29,183
eliminate long standing option

1390
00:50:30,253 --> 00:50:30,920
of city time during in-person

1391
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:31,454
public comment or reimagine

1392
00:50:31,454 --> 00:50:33,854
the process And some

1393
00:50:35,692 --> 00:50:36,359
jurisdictions like Encinitas

1394
00:50:36,359 --> 00:50:36,659
opted to discontinue seeding

1395
00:50:36,659 --> 00:50:37,360
time.

1396
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,628
Everyone has limited their own

1397
00:50:39,628 --> 00:50:40,296
time and own presentation.

1398
00:50:40,296 --> 00:50:40,796
Under my work as Council

1399
00:50:40,796 --> 00:50:42,796
PRESIDENT And with

1400
00:50:44,701 --> 00:50:45,435
collaboration from City Clerk,

1401
00:50:45,435 --> 00:50:46,135
council administration and City

1402
00:50:46,135 --> 00:50:46,769
Attorney's Office, we proposed

1403
00:50:46,769 --> 00:50:49,169
changes to protect public

1404
00:50:50,173 --> 00:50:50,840
participation by reimagining

1405
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,508
the process of seeding time.

1406
00:50:51,508 --> 00:50:54,508
The changes were tested and

1407
00:50:54,578 --> 00:50:55,312
revisited numerous times.

1408
00:50:55,312 --> 00:50:56,460
I first brought in Information

1409
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,460
Item two Rules Committee in

1410
00:50:59,916 --> 00:51:00,349
FEBRUARY with a framework for

1411
00:51:00,349 --> 00:51:01,170
these changes.

1412
00:51:01,170 --> 00:51:01,618
We listened to feedback from

1413
00:51:01,618 --> 00:51:04,180
the public and committee

1414
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:05,922
members and adjusted.

1415
00:51:05,922 --> 00:51:06,223
We had originally had different

1416
00:51:06,223 --> 00:51:08,223
ideas.

1417
00:51:09,926 --> 00:51:10,794
We proposed process only

1418
00:51:10,794 --> 00:51:11,461
applying to groups of 5 to 10.

1419
00:51:11,461 --> 00:51:12,950
Due to the administrative

1420
00:51:12,950 --> 00:51:14,931
burden on the clerk's team

1421
00:51:14,931 --> 00:51:15,632
however, with feedback from

1422
00:51:15,632 --> 00:51:16,333
Rules Committee and the public

1423
00:51:16,333 --> 00:51:19,333
I propose and Council adopted

1424
00:51:19,703 --> 00:51:20,403
organize presentation groups

1425
00:51:20,403 --> 00:51:24,300
for just two or more people.

1426
00:51:24,541 --> 00:51:25,274
Additionally we reduced

1427
00:51:25,274 --> 00:51:25,976
the signup time based on public

1428
00:51:25,976 --> 00:51:26,676
feedback and I really have to

1429
00:51:26,676 --> 00:51:29,946
give thanks to the city clerk

1430
00:51:29,946 --> 00:51:30,280
and her team for willingness to

1431
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:30,847
do that.

1432
00:51:30,847 --> 00:51:31,548
As you heard in

1433
00:51:31,548 --> 00:51:33,850
the presentation, groups can

1434
00:51:33,850 --> 00:51:34,484
now sign up 24 hours in advance

1435
00:51:34,484 --> 00:51:37,484
of the meeting and provide

1436
00:51:37,754 --> 00:51:38,622
their slides or presentation

1437
00:51:38,622 --> 00:51:39,255
material if any as late as two

1438
00:51:39,255 --> 00:51:41,655
hours before the meeting.

1439
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:43,994
That's a lot of scrambling by

1440
00:51:43,994 --> 00:51:44,628
the city clerk's office to

1441
00:51:44,628 --> 00:51:46,628
accommodate this further.

1442
00:51:47,798 --> 00:51:48,432
Again, based on public feedback

1443
00:51:48,432 --> 00:51:51,432
we are keeping the virtual

1444
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:53,503
comment period open for up to

1445
00:51:53,503 --> 00:51:54,171
five minutes.

1446
00:51:54,171 --> 00:51:56,571
Once in-person comment has

1447
00:51:57,941 --> 00:51:58,475
ended in MARCH, Rules Committee

1448
00:51:58,475 --> 00:51:59,760
unanimously voted on

1449
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,476
the revised proposal and

1450
00:52:02,813 --> 00:52:03,513
forwarded to Council

1451
00:52:03,513 --> 00:52:04,114
unanimously voted in forwarded

1452
00:52:04,114 --> 00:52:06,717
to the Council in APRIL.

1453
00:52:06,717 --> 00:52:07,350
Council heard this item on

1454
00:52:07,350 --> 00:52:07,918
discussion and also voted

1455
00:52:07,918 --> 00:52:09,918
unanimously to support

1456
00:52:12,456 --> 00:52:13,189
the changes modifications to

1457
00:52:13,189 --> 00:52:13,891
our publicic comment procedures

1458
00:52:13,891 --> 00:52:16,660
were done out of a requirement

1459
00:52:16,660 --> 00:52:17,327
to comply with state law and

1460
00:52:17,327 --> 00:52:17,895
our commitment to preserving

1461
00:52:17,895 --> 00:52:19,895
public participation.

1462
00:52:21,999 --> 00:52:22,599
This proposal strikes a good

1463
00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:23,233
balance between what was

1464
00:52:23,233 --> 00:52:25,633
possible with our current

1465
00:52:26,136 --> 00:52:26,703
resources and expanding this to

1466
00:52:26,703 --> 00:52:27,337
virtual participants.

1467
00:52:27,337 --> 00:52:29,737
Under these new procedures

1468
00:52:31,775 --> 00:52:32,509
virtual participants can can

1469
00:52:32,509 --> 00:52:36,109
now give presentations and as I

1470
00:52:37,381 --> 00:52:38,150
mentioned at the onset we will

1471
00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:38,782
now put this into practice

1472
00:52:38,782 --> 00:52:39,216
after a lot of talk and a lot

1473
00:52:39,216 --> 00:52:41,216
of discussion.

1474
00:52:42,286 --> 00:52:42,986
Council's JULY 6th hearing will

1475
00:52:42,986 --> 00:52:43,354
be the first time we will roll

1476
00:52:43,354 --> 00:52:45,354
this out.

1477
00:52:47,925 --> 00:52:48,559
>> It MAY all sound a bit

1478
00:52:48,559 --> 00:52:49,126
complicated and as you saw

1479
00:52:49,126 --> 00:52:49,793
the clerk has put out

1480
00:52:49,793 --> 00:52:52,193
information guides and their

1481
00:52:52,730 --> 00:52:53,397
office stands ready to help

1482
00:52:53,397 --> 00:52:53,764
the public navigate the new

1483
00:52:53,764 --> 00:52:54,498
processes.

1484
00:52:54,498 --> 00:52:57,634
In closing the council and city

1485
00:52:57,634 --> 00:52:58,235
clerk has been a statewide

1486
00:52:58,235 --> 00:52:58,869
leader in hosting public

1487
00:52:58,869 --> 00:53:01,269
comment both in-person and

1488
00:53:02,873 --> 00:53:03,574
virtually And now we're

1489
00:53:03,574 --> 00:53:06,977
stepping up to meet the intent

1490
00:53:06,977 --> 00:53:07,678
of sb 77 with the resources.

1491
00:53:07,678 --> 00:53:08,279
Bottom line we're expanding

1492
00:53:08,279 --> 00:53:10,279
opportunities for public

1493
00:53:12,416 --> 00:53:12,782
comment and input at our public

1494
00:53:12,782 --> 00:53:13,483
hearings.

1495
00:53:13,483 --> 00:53:14,188
There MAY be some bumps in

1496
00:53:14,188 --> 00:53:14,852
the road but I have no doubt

1497
00:53:14,852 --> 00:53:17,852
the clerk's team and council

1498
00:53:18,923 --> 00:53:19,589
administration will be up to

1499
00:53:19,589 --> 00:53:19,990
the challenge to help us all

1500
00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:20,658
through it.

1501
00:53:20,658 --> 00:53:24,258
Note They often do as they

1502
00:53:24,427 --> 00:53:25,129
always do I should say in every

1503
00:53:25,129 --> 00:53:27,529
council and committee hearing.

1504
00:53:28,865 --> 00:53:29,466
And so to the comments of a

1505
00:53:29,466 --> 00:53:30,167
members of the public, I

1506
00:53:30,167 --> 00:53:30,868
certainly appreciate that And

1507
00:53:30,868 --> 00:53:34,468
it's important to know that a

1508
00:53:34,705 --> 00:53:35,172
seat at the table was not about

1509
00:53:35,172 --> 00:53:35,873
public comment.

1510
00:53:35,873 --> 00:53:39,473
It was a proposal to have

1511
00:53:39,677 --> 00:53:40,100
dedicated time during a council

1512
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:40,845
action.

1513
00:53:40,845 --> 00:53:44,445
I think that's a big change

1514
00:53:45,316 --> 00:53:45,983
from what our past practices

1515
00:53:45,983 --> 00:53:49,583
have been and I wonder about

1516
00:53:50,321 --> 00:53:51,155
who we actually limited to.

1517
00:53:51,155 --> 00:53:51,788
I was a big believer in

1518
00:53:51,788 --> 00:53:52,490
community planning groups.

1519
00:53:52,490 --> 00:53:55,326
I'm still a big, big believer

1520
00:53:55,326 --> 00:53:55,892
and planning groups as well as

1521
00:53:55,892 --> 00:53:56,260
the Community Planners

1522
00:53:56,260 --> 00:53:56,928
committee.

1523
00:53:56,928 --> 00:54:00,528
But there are so many other

1524
00:54:00,598 --> 00:54:01,299
voices that we need to hear

1525
00:54:01,299 --> 00:54:02,650
from when we make a decision

1526
00:54:02,650 --> 00:54:05,665
and the variety of things that

1527
00:54:06,137 --> 00:54:06,804
come across our diocese.

1528
00:54:06,804 --> 00:54:07,605
And so we can continue

1529
00:54:07,605 --> 00:54:10,605
the conversation about how we

1530
00:54:11,107 --> 00:54:11,876
do that.

1531
00:54:11,876 --> 00:54:12,576
But I think this is an

1532
00:54:12,576 --> 00:54:13,210
important step because I used

1533
00:54:13,210 --> 00:54:16,460
to be on the other side of

1534
00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:16,848
the dice and I remember how

1535
00:54:16,848 --> 00:54:17,715
much time was and how tricky it

1536
00:54:17,715 --> 00:54:21,685
was to get people to cede time.

1537
00:54:21,685 --> 00:54:22,385
But we see it time and time

1538
00:54:22,385 --> 00:54:25,985
again about how it is possible

1539
00:54:27,580 --> 00:54:27,825
we're going to roll this out on

1540
00:54:27,825 --> 00:54:28,526
JULY 1st for an experience in

1541
00:54:28,526 --> 00:54:32,126
JULY 6th and the four meetings

1542
00:54:32,563 --> 00:54:33,197
we have in JULY and then we'll

1543
00:54:33,197 --> 00:54:35,597
react and possibly pivot.

1544
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:38,836
This is brand new and we know

1545
00:54:38,836 --> 00:54:39,270
there MAY be bumps as I said

1546
00:54:39,270 --> 00:54:41,270
going forward.

1547
00:54:42,707 --> 00:54:43,410
We do appreciate the planning

1548
00:54:43,410 --> 00:54:43,808

1549
00:54:43,808 --> 00:54:44,342
I know my colleagues appreciate

1550
00:54:44,342 --> 00:54:44,976
the planning groups.

1551
00:54:44,976 --> 00:54:47,976
I think we all appreciate

1552
00:54:48,746 --> 00:54:49,247
the community planners

1553
00:54:49,247 --> 00:54:49,914
committee as well.

1554
00:54:49,914 --> 00:54:50,782
Going forward And we want to

1555
00:54:50,782 --> 00:54:54,686
hear from them and we want to

1556
00:54:54,686 --> 00:54:55,353
hear from every organized group

1557
00:54:55,353 --> 00:54:55,920
whether it's neighbors for a

1558
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,320

00:54:59,724 --> 00:55:00,425

Summit City can you name it

1561
00:55:01,125 --> 00:55:04,125
They all have important voices

1562
00:55:04,696 --> 00:55:05,163

1563
00:55:05,163 --> 00:55:05,964

1566
00:55:11,769 --> 00:55:12,537

1568
00:55:12,870 --> 00:55:14,870

>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

1573

Just briefly appreciate

1574
00:55:23,948 --> 00:55:24,649
the members of the public who

1575
00:55:24,649 --> 00:55:26,618
came in and spoke as they did

1576
00:55:26,618 --> 00:55:27,385
in Rules Committee a couple of

1577
00:55:27,385 --> 00:55:27,986
days ago and just reiterate my

1578
00:55:27,986 --> 00:55:28,720
comments from rules out

1581
00:55:33,725 --> 00:55:34,459
participation.

1582
00:55:34,459 --> 00:55:35,160
There's no better person in our

1583
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:35,693
city government who does that

1584
00:55:35,693 --> 00:55:36,161
than our city clerk.

1585
00:55:36,161 --> 00:55:38,161
They want this.

1586
00:55:39,970 --> 00:55:39,698

1587
00:55:39,698 --> 00:55:40,331
them loud and clear and

1588
00:55:40,331 --> 00:55:42,731

budgets to council resulting in

1667
00:57:41,553 --> 00:57:42,254
concerns raised over how

1668
00:57:42,254 --> 00:57:45,254
the Opportunity fund was being

1669
00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:46,792
allocated and unspent

1670
00:57:46,792 --> 00:57:47,526
Recreation Center fund dances

1671
00:57:47,526 --> 00:57:49,926
without the Recreation Council.

1672
00:57:51,797 --> 00:57:52,398
The Council returned this item

1673
00:57:52,398 --> 00:57:53,132
to staff requesting that

1674
00:57:53,132 --> 00:57:53,766
the opportunity fund allocation

1675
00:57:53,766 --> 00:57:56,166
for Council District eight

1676
00:57:58,360 --> 00:57:58,336
recreation centers be increased

1677
00:57:58,336 --> 00:57:59,370
.

1678
00:57:59,370 --> 00:57:59,671
The Allocation for Opportunity

1679
00:57:59,671 --> 00:58:02,710
Fund be reevaluated using

1680
00:58:02,274 --> 00:58:02,975
the assumption that fiscal year

1681
00:58:02,975 --> 00:58:03,542
26 budgets were fully expended

1682
00:58:03,542 --> 00:58:04,176
to develop a plan for

1683
00:58:04,176 --> 00:58:06,576
the expenditure of fund

1684
00:58:08,881 --> 00:58:09,581
balances and to evaluate

1685
00:58:09,581 --> 00:58:10,149
improvements to the Recreation

1686
00:58:10,149 --> 00:58:10,816
Center Fund Budget and

1687
00:58:10,816 --> 00:58:12,816
Opportunity Fund allocation

1688
00:58:14,753 --> 00:58:15,521
process in the future.

1689
00:58:15,521 --> 00:58:16,187
The next few slides we will

1690
00:58:16,187 --> 00:58:18,587
review each of these

1691
00:58:20,192 --> 00:58:20,792
recommendations.

1692
00:58:20,792 --> 00:58:21,527
Recreation centers are

1693
00:58:21,527 --> 00:58:22,194
supported through a combination

1694
00:58:22,194 --> 00:58:24,594
of funding sources beginning

1695
00:58:25,831 --> 00:58:26,565
with the general fund which

1696
00:58:26,565 --> 00:58:27,298
provides core operating support

1697
00:58:27,298 --> 00:58:27,700
needed to maintain services and

1698
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:29,700
facilities.

1699
00:58:32,471 --> 00:58:33,105
In addition to general fund

1700
00:58:33,105 --> 00:58:33,739
support we have recreation

1701
00:58:33,739 --> 00:58:34,373
center funds that capture

1702
00:58:34,373 --> 00:58:35,400
revenues generated through

1703
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,400
recreation center operations

1704
00:58:38,177 --> 00:58:38,811
and reinvest those funds back

1705
00:58:38,811 --> 00:58:39,445
into recreation services.

1706
00:58:39,445 --> 00:58:41,445
Opportunity funds provide

1707
00:58:43,948 --> 00:58:44,683
additional resources that are

1708
00:58:44,683 --> 00:58:45,417
allocated to recreation centers

1709
00:58:45,417 --> 00:58:46,510
and underserved communities for

1710
00:58:46,510 --> 00:58:48,510
local priorities programs,

1711
00:58:49,789 --> 00:58:50,156
equipment and minor maintenance

1712
00:58:50,156 --> 00:58:50,789
projects.

1713
00:58:50,789 --> 00:58:51,457
We also have actively we

1714
00:58:51,457 --> 00:58:52,900
actively pursue grants from

1715
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:54,490
state, federal and private

1716
00:58:56,128 --> 00:58:56,762
organizations to support

1717
00:58:56,762 --> 00:58:57,329
specific projects, expand

1718
00:58:57,329 --> 00:58:57,730
programing and improve

1719
00:58:57,730 --> 00:58:59,730
facilities.

1720
00:59:01,666 --> 00:59:02,167
Finally, donations from

1721
00:59:02,167 --> 00:59:02,902
community members,

1722
00:59:02,902 --> 00:59:03,602
organizations and partners help

1723
00:59:03,602 --> 00:59:04,337
support programs and projects

1724
00:59:04,337 --> 00:59:06,737
beyond what traditional funding

1725
00:59:08,307 --> 00:59:09,740
sources MAY provide.

1726
00:59:09,740 --> 00:59:09,775
Taking a closer look at

1727
00:59:09,775 --> 00:59:10,443
recreation Center funds, there

1728
00:59:10,443 --> 00:59:12,843
are several revenue sources

1729
00:59:13,946 --> 00:59:14,647
that make up fund balance

1730
00:59:14,647 --> 00:59:15,347
program registration fees from

1731
00:59:15,347 --> 00:59:15,914
classes, camps, sports leagues

1732
00:59:15,914 --> 00:59:17,914
and other recreational

1733
00:59:20,186 --> 00:59:20,953
activities.

1734
00:59:20,953 --> 00:59:21,653
Our primary source of revenue

1735
00:59:21,653 --> 00:59:22,288
for the Recreation Center Fund

1736
00:59:22,288 --> 00:59:24,688
revenue is also generated

1737
00:59:26,959 --> 00:59:27,660
through permits for use of

1738
00:59:27,660 --> 00:59:28,361
recreation buildings, athletic

1739
00:59:28,361 --> 00:59:29,620
fields and park facilities for

1740
00:59:29,620 --> 00:59:31,462
community events, leagues and

1741
00:59:32,598 --> 00:59:33,232
private rentals.

1742
00:59:33,232 --> 00:59:33,933
Annually Opportunity Fund

1743
00:59:33,933 --> 00:59:34,567
allocations are deposited into

1744
00:59:34,567 --> 00:59:36,967
recreation center funds to

1745
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:38,370
support underserved communities

1746
00:59:38,370 --> 00:59:39,710
.

1747
00:59:39,710 --> 00:59:39,638
Expanding programs, events and

1748
00:59:39,638 --> 00:59:40,106
projects identified at

1749
00:59:40,106 --> 00:59:42,106
the local level.

1750
00:59:44,944 --> 00:59:45,678
Donations made specifically to

1751
00:59:45,678 --> 00:59:46,412
a recreation center can also be

1752
00:59:46,412 --> 00:59:50,120
deposited into a fund and used

1753
00:59:50,383 --> 00:59:50,717
in accordance with the donor

1754
00:59:50,717 --> 00:59:51,417
intent.

1755
00:59:51,417 --> 00:59:52,840
Together these funding sources

1756
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:52,752
create a diversified funding

1757
00:59:52,752 --> 00:59:55,152
model that allows recreation

1758
00:59:56,988 --> 00:59:57,723
centers to maintain daily

1759
00:59:57,723 --> 00:59:58,358
operations while also investing

1760
00:59:58,358 --> 01:00:00,758
in programs, equipment and

1761
01:00:02,695 --> 01:00:03,329
facility improvements.

1762
01:00:03,329 --> 01:00:03,930
After running the analysis

1763
01:00:03,930 --> 01:00:06,330
recommended in item two,

1764
01:00:08,901 --> 01:00:09,502
the results remained similar in

1765
01:00:09,502 --> 01:00:10,202
the original allocation

1766
01:00:10,202 --> 01:00:12,602
disbursement resulting in even

1767
01:00:13,139 --> 01:00:13,840
less item Council District

1768
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:14,540
eight receiving an allocation.

1769
01:00:14,540 --> 01:00:15,274
With that the Department makes

1770
01:00:15,274 --> 01:00:17,674
the following recommendation to

1771
01:00:19,846 --> 01:00:20,479
move the budgets forward for f

1772
01:00:20,479 --> 01:00:21,800
y 27 expenditure maintain

1773
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,800
the previously proposed

1774
01:00:24,384 --> 01:00:25,510
opportunity Fund allocations of

1775
01:00:25,510 --> 01:00:25,752
555,000 to the 14 recreation

1776
01:00:25,752 --> 01:00:27,752
centers originally identified

1777
01:00:30,657 --> 01:00:31,900
in the staff report and

1778
01:00:31,900 --> 01:00:33,900
Attachment b.

1779
01:00:34,728 --> 01:00:35,361
In addition, utilize $100,000

1780
01:00:35,361 --> 01:00:36,280
of Future Opportunity Fund

1781
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:36,763
revenue to support expanding

1782
01:00:36,763 --> 01:00:39,163
opportunity fund allocations in

1783
01:00:41,433 --> 01:00:42,168
the fiscal year 27 budget to

1784
01:00:42,168 --> 01:00:42,769
all eight recreation centers in

1785
01:00:42,769 --> 01:00:44,769
Council District eight.

1786
01:00:46,372 --> 01:00:46,940
This would provide each site an

1787
01:00:46,940 --> 01:00:47,640
additional $12,500 for

1788
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:48,174
the fiscal year 27 Recreation

1789
01:00:48,174 --> 01:00:50,174
Center Fund budget.

1790
01:00:53,513 --> 01:00:54,214
This would be a one time

1791
01:00:54,214 --> 01:00:54,914
allocation of future revenues.

1792
01:00:54,914 --> 01:00:57,314
Future allocations will follow

1793
01:00:59,850 --> 01:00:59,719
a policy methodology at

1794
01:00:59,719 --> 01:01:00,353
the time as it existed at

1795
01:01:00,353 --> 01:01:03,353
the time of that year's

1796
01:01:05,158 --> 01:01:05,959
allocation.

1797
01:01:05,959 --> 01:01:06,660
As previously mentioned, staff

1798
01:01:06,660 --> 01:01:09,600
assessed the Opportunity Fund

1799
01:01:09,663 --> 01:01:10,297
scoring methodology assuming

1800
01:01:10,297 --> 01:01:10,964
fiscal year 26 recreation

1801
01:01:10,964 --> 01:01:11,430
center fund budgets had been

1802
01:01:11,430 --> 01:01:13,430
fully expended.

1803
01:01:16,236 --> 01:01:16,937
The analysis found similar

1804
01:01:16,937 --> 01:01:17,604
results to the original scores

1805
01:01:17,604 --> 01:01:20,400
with Council District eight

1806
01:01:20,273 --> 01:01:20,840
allocations changing from two

1807
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:21,474
eligible sites to one.

1808
01:01:21,474 --> 01:01:22,800
The findings suggest that

1809
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:22,676
broader elements of

1810
01:01:22,676 --> 01:01:25,760
the Opportunity Fund scoring

1811
01:01:26,413 --> 01:01:27,800
matrix and methodology work

1812
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:27,681
further evaluation to ensure

1813
01:01:27,681 --> 01:01:29,681
the program effectively

1814
01:01:32,252 --> 01:01:32,853
advances equity objectives

1815
01:01:32,853 --> 01:01:33,553
which the Department is

1816
01:01:33,553 --> 01:01:35,953
committed to evaluating prior

1817
01:01:38,525 --> 01:01:39,359
to the fy 28 budget cycle.

1818
01:01:39,359 --> 01:01:40,600
The third request of a plan to

1819
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,460
expend recreation center fund

1820
01:01:43,930 --> 01:01:44,630
balances requires a broader

1821
01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:45,298
discussion on why fund balance

1822
01:01:45,298 --> 01:01:48,298
does exist for the immediate

1823
01:01:49,536 --> 01:01:50,170
fiscal year 27 budget proposal.

1824
01:01:50,170 --> 01:01:50,837
The Department updated all

1825
01:01:50,837 --> 01:01:53,237
eight recreation center fund

1826
01:01:53,773 --> 01:01:54,407
budgets in Council District

1827
01:01:54,407 --> 01:01:55,141
eight to fully expend fund

1828
01:01:55,141 --> 01:01:55,708
balances less $5,000 to support

1829
01:01:55,708 --> 01:01:57,708
expanding programs and

1830
01:01:59,980 --> 01:02:00,680
maintenance projects.

1831
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:01,248
As for the history of

1832
01:02:01,248 --> 01:02:03,248
Recreation Center fund

1833
01:02:04,751 --> 01:02:05,352
balances, these were created in

1834
01:02:05,352 --> 01:02:06,850
2018 with many balances

1835
01:02:06,850 --> 01:02:09,850
starting with funds turned over

1836
01:02:10,858 --> 01:02:11,558
by recreation councils who had

1837
01:02:11,558 --> 01:02:12,250
been generating balances since

1838
01:02:12,250 --> 01:02:12,693
their inception.

1839
01:02:12,693 --> 01:02:15,930
To date community recreation

1840
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:17,764
groups continue to provide

1841
01:02:17,764 --> 01:02:18,431
recommendations for recreation

1842
01:02:18,431 --> 01:02:20,831
center fund expenditures and

1843
01:02:22,603 --> 01:02:23,270
often include a reserve of

1844
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:23,869
funds over multiple years to

1845
01:02:23,869 --> 01:02:24,605
support larger projects.

1846
01:02:24,605 --> 01:02:27,500
In addition, recreation centers

1847
01:02:28,675 --> 01:02:29,276
require sufficient fund

1848
01:02:29,276 --> 01:02:29,943
balances at the start of

1849
01:02:29,943 --> 01:02:30,610
the fiscal year to continue

1850
01:02:30,610 --> 01:02:33,100
operating busy summer month

1851
01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:35,883
programing and events.

1852
01:02:35,883 --> 01:02:36,517
Also being annual revenues and

1853
01:02:36,517 --> 01:02:37,500
expenditures can fluctuate

1854
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:37,651
throughout the year.

1855
01:02:37,651 --> 01:02:40,510
Having fund balance does

1856
01:02:40,387 --> 01:02:41,880
provide a safeguard against

1857
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,880
revenue shortfalls preventing

1858
01:02:45,893 --> 01:02:46,593
spending and program freezes.

1859
01:02:46,593 --> 01:02:47,328
In addition, fund balances MAY

1860
01:02:47,328 --> 01:02:47,895
exist as a result of changes to

1861
01:02:47,895 --> 01:02:49,895
procurement processes.

1862
01:02:51,965 --> 01:02:52,733
Specifically the implementation

1863
01:02:52,733 --> 01:02:53,433
of 8339 which requires a more

1864
01:02:53,433 --> 01:02:55,833
robust contracting out review

1865
01:02:58,639 --> 01:02:59,339
process for example contracting

1866
01:02:59,339 --> 01:03:00,400
out review process previously

1867
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,400
took 14 to 45 days to process

1868
01:03:04,611 --> 01:03:04,978
or as currently underway since

1869
01:03:04,978 --> 01:03:05,646
FEBRUARY.

1870
01:03:05,646 --> 01:03:06,146
The process takes 90 or more

1871
01:03:06,146 --> 01:03:08,146
days depending on

1872
01:03:09,717 --> 01:03:10,484
the procurement type.

1873
01:03:10,484 --> 01:03:11,118
Also the department continues

1874
01:03:11,118 --> 01:03:11,752
to face ongoing challenges

1875
01:03:11,752 --> 01:03:14,152
primarily due to staffing

1876
01:03:15,756 --> 01:03:16,423
capacity as it relates to

1877
01:03:16,423 --> 01:03:17,910
navigating public works and

1878
01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:17,691
maintenance contract process

1879
01:03:17,691 --> 01:03:20,910
for facility repairs and

1880
01:03:21,762 --> 01:03:22,463
improvements as well as

1881
01:03:22,463 --> 01:03:23,970
recreation program contracts.

1882
01:03:23,970 --> 01:03:23,798
While we have experienced

1883
01:03:23,798 --> 01:03:26,798
delays in getting contracts in

1884
01:03:27,568 --> 01:03:28,202
place in a timely manner to

1885
01:03:28,202 --> 01:03:28,868
support these activities,

1886
01:03:28,868 --> 01:03:29,570
the Department continues to

1887
01:03:29,570 --> 01:03:32,570
work closely with various city

1888
01:03:32,973 --> 01:03:33,541
departments to ensure

1889
01:03:33,541 --> 01:03:34,208
compliance with these

1890
01:03:34,208 --> 01:03:36,208
requirements and processes.

1891
01:03:38,879 --> 01:03:39,580
Lastly, fund balances continue

1892
01:03:39,580 --> 01:03:40,314
to grow as the department

1893
01:03:40,314 --> 01:03:40,981
continues to leverage nonprofit

1894
01:03:40,981 --> 01:03:43,981
partners and grants to fund

1895
01:03:45,452 --> 01:03:45,819
specific programs events and

1896
01:03:45,819 --> 01:03:46,420
projects.

1897
01:03:46,420 --> 01:03:47,210
The supplemental funding

1898
01:03:47,210 --> 01:03:47,721
sources have reduced our

1899
01:03:47,721 --> 01:03:50,121
reliance on recreation center

1900
01:03:51,425 --> 01:03:52,930
funds which allows fund

1901
01:03:52,930 --> 01:03:52,760
balances to be preserved for

1902
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:53,394
future community priorities

1903
01:03:53,394 --> 01:03:55,394
programs and investments.

1904
01:03:57,999 --> 01:03:58,699
A couple of examples include

1905
01:03:58,699 --> 01:03:59,432
the Padres Foundation donating

1906
01:03:59,432 --> 01:04:01,832
$40,000 to Montgomery Lawler to

1907
01:04:03,337 --> 01:04:04,400
cover field renovations that

1908
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:04,572
were previously budgeted for

1909
01:04:04,572 --> 01:04:05,138
recreation center fund

1910
01:04:05,138 --> 01:04:05,840
expenditure as well as

1911
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,240
the ongoing collaboration with

1912
01:04:10,378 --> 01:04:11,112
Saanich Parks Foundation,

1913
01:04:11,112 --> 01:04:11,812
the County Press Philanthropies

1914
01:04:11,812 --> 01:04:12,480
and the private foundation to

1915
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,449
support the Parks After Dark

1916
01:04:15,449 --> 01:04:16,500
program.

1917
01:04:16,500 --> 01:04:16,684
Moving on to the last

1918
01:04:16,684 --> 01:04:18,684
recommendation a possible

1919
01:04:21,389 --> 01:04:22,230
recreation center Fund and

1920
01:04:22,230 --> 01:04:22,690
Opportunity Fund reforms.

1921
01:04:22,690 --> 01:04:23,390
The Department is committed

1922
01:04:23,390 --> 01:04:26,990
over the upcoming year to work

1923
01:04:27,228 --> 01:04:27,895
with eBay office of Race and

1924
01:04:27,895 --> 01:04:28,529
Equity to analyze the policy

1925
01:04:28,529 --> 01:04:30,929
and allocation process for

1926
01:04:33,334 --> 01:04:34,680
improvements and to participate

1927

equitable distribution of

1930
01:04:35,703 --> 01:04:37,703
funding.

1931
01:04:39,507 --> 01:04:40,174
We will meet with

1932
01:04:40,174 --> 01:04:40,875
the Department of Finance to

1933
01:04:40,875 --> 01:04:41,475
evaluate if the funds and both

1934
01:04:41,475 --> 01:04:44,475
funds can be folded into

1935
01:04:44,846 --> 01:04:45,446
the annual budget development

1936
01:04:45,446 --> 01:04:45,980

1937
01:04:45,980 --> 01:04:46,614
We will improve our

1938
01:04:46,614 --> 01:04:48,614
communication efforts with

1939
01:04:51,219 --> 01:04:51,786

01:04:56,491 --> 01:04:57,158
And lastly we will boost our

1944
01:04:57,158 --> 01:04:57,725
efforts to work closely with

1945
01:04:57,725 --> 01:04:58,426

and spent on community

1949
01:05:04,365 --> 01:05:04,932
priorities.

1950
01:05:04,932 --> 01:05:06,932
The Department updated

1951
01:05:09,671 --> 01:05:10,405

>> Thank you.

1991
01:06:04,726 --> 01:06:05,427
Council PRESIDENT Kim Desmond

1992
01:06:05,427 --> 01:06:06,194
from our Division of Race and

1993
01:06:06,194 --> 01:06:06,528
Equitable provide our comments

1994
01:06:06,528 --> 01:06:07,195
.

1995
01:06:07,195 --> 01:06:07,729
Good afternoon to your local

1996
01:06:07,729 --> 01:06:09,729
members of council.

1997
01:06:12,467 --> 01:06:13,134
Our team wanted to outline some

1998
01:06:13,134 --> 01:06:13,802
equity implications for this

1999
01:06:13,802 --> 01:06:14,202
item including the upcoming

2000
01:06:14,202 --> 01:06:16,202
fund budget.

2001
01:06:18,206 --> 01:06:18,906
So our team has identified a

2002
01:06:18,906 --> 01:06:21,306
couple of equity implications

2003
01:06:24,313 --> 01:06:25,146
in the following categories.

2004
01:06:25,146 --> 01:06:25,981
One some that were mentioned by

2005
01:06:25,981 --> 01:06:26,648
Parks and Rec but one I want to

2006
01:06:26,648 --> 01:06:29,480
highlight is the Opportunity

2007
01:06:30,850 --> 01:06:30,685
Fund evaluation Committee

2008
01:06:30,685 --> 01:06:31,420
scoring matrix process.

2009
01:06:31,420 --> 01:06:33,820
We've had several conversations

2010
01:06:35,490 --> 01:06:36,190
with Sara and team around this

2011
01:06:36,190 --> 01:06:36,791
process in our team is

2012
01:06:36,791 --> 01:06:37,559
committed to looking at

2013
01:06:37,559 --> 01:06:41,759
the process in ways that we can

2014
01:06:42,297 --> 01:06:42,664
make sure that it's more

2015
01:06:42,664 --> 01:06:43,365
equitable.

2016
01:06:43,365 --> 01:06:46,101
And we plan to work with staff

2017
01:06:46,101 --> 01:06:46,768
to look at those improvements

2018
01:06:46,768 --> 01:06:47,502
in the 2020 budget cycle.

2019
01:06:47,502 --> 01:06:48,336
Some of the preliminary things

2020
01:06:48,336 --> 01:06:51,936
that we saw regarding this item

2021
01:06:52,874 --> 01:06:53,608
is improvement include

2022
01:06:53,608 --> 01:06:56,800
increasing transparency so that

2023
01:06:58,680 --> 01:06:59,348
we the recreation fund we can

2024
01:06:59,348 --> 01:07:00,480
make sure that the money is

2025
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,648
being set aside in retained in

2026
01:07:05,153 --> 01:07:05,854
the fund balance for

2027
01:07:05,854 --> 01:07:06,487
the improve to other areas is

2028
01:07:06,487 --> 01:07:09,487
that it's clear that those

2029
01:07:10,959 --> 01:07:11,560
items are being used for and

2030
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:12,227
why it's set aside.

2031
01:07:12,227 --> 01:07:12,794
Other opportunities includes

2032
01:07:12,794 --> 01:07:15,194
looking at the actual

2033
01:07:16,531 --> 01:07:17,132
opportunity fund scoring matrix

2034
01:07:17,132 --> 01:07:17,832
to explore ways in which

2035
01:07:17,832 --> 01:07:21,432
the matrix can be changed and

2036
01:07:23,538 --> 01:07:23,972
we can examine and critique

2037
01:07:23,972 --> 01:07:24,806
those factors.

2038
01:07:24,806 --> 01:07:27,206
Factors of 21 include if

2039
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:30,711
the location is in a community

2040
01:07:30,711 --> 01:07:31,790
concern and or it is adjacent

2041
01:07:31,790 --> 01:07:31,747
to a pool.

2042
01:07:31,747 --> 01:07:34,383
So our team is committed to

2043
01:07:34,383 --> 01:07:35,117
looking at those factors in

2044
01:07:35,117 --> 01:07:35,818
partnership with Parks and Rec.

2045
01:07:35,818 --> 01:07:39,418
Last but not least in this

2046
01:07:40,422 --> 01:07:41,560
particular category we

2047
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:41,757
recommended the department

2048
01:07:41,757 --> 01:07:44,157
determine which individuals to

2049
01:07:46,261 --> 01:07:46,962
be present to evaluate

2050
01:07:46,962 --> 01:07:47,696
the Allocation of Opportunity

2051
01:07:47,696 --> 01:07:48,330
Fund which is also charged with

2052
01:07:48,330 --> 01:07:50,330
providing recommendations.

2053
01:07:53,350 --> 01:07:53,735
Parks and Rec have invited our

2054
01:07:53,735 --> 01:07:54,336
team to sit on this committee

2055
01:07:54,336 --> 01:07:57,936
and so we wanted to just

2056
01:07:58,307 --> 01:07:59,800
highlight that part as looking

2057
01:07:59,800 --> 01:07:59,675
at who should be on

2058
01:07:59,675 --> 01:08:00,375
the committee and we accept

2059
01:08:00,375 --> 01:08:03,975
the invite from Parks and Rec

2060
01:08:05,581 --> 01:08:06,348
to the consideration of them.

2061
01:08:06,348 --> 01:08:07,850
I'll say this really quickly is

2062
01:08:07,850 --> 01:08:07,850
that we know that not all rec

2063
01:08:07,850 --> 01:08:10,850
centers are created equally so

2064
01:08:11,286 --> 01:08:11,887
council MAY want to consider

2065
01:08:11,887 --> 01:08:12,587
how facility limitations

2066
01:08:12,587 --> 01:08:15,587
including side and upper upper

2067
01:08:16,958 --> 01:08:17,693
recent offers of operational

2068
01:08:17,693 --> 01:08:20,693
hours impact access to activity

2069
01:08:22,398 --> 01:08:23,165
for stakeholders.

2070
01:08:23,165 --> 01:08:23,899
So we recommend that Parks and

2071
01:08:23,899 --> 01:08:24,532
Rec could identify a process to

2072
01:08:24,532 --> 01:08:26,532
provide stakeholders with

2073
01:08:29,438 --> 01:08:30,720
access information if their

2074
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:30,539
service is not provided at

2075
01:08:30,539 --> 01:08:31,173
their location.

2076
01:08:31,173 --> 01:08:34,173
So essentially if it's not

2077
01:08:35,310 --> 01:08:35,644
provided there where else can

2078
01:08:35,644 --> 01:08:36,312
they go?

2079
01:08:36,312 --> 01:08:36,912
Last but not least regarding

2080
01:08:36,912 --> 01:08:38,912
the subsidized contracts

2081
01:08:41,250 --> 01:08:41,951
council MAY want to consider

2082
01:08:41,951 --> 01:08:42,584
and monitor the increase in

2083
01:08:42,584 --> 01:08:44,984
programs and activities in

2084
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:47,623
septa as it pertains to working

2085
01:08:47,623 --> 01:08:48,290
with those provider to offer

2086
01:08:48,290 --> 01:08:50,690
more activity and services.

2087
01:08:52,461 --> 01:08:53,129
This includes the number of

2088
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:53,529
clear tangible programs and

2089
01:08:53,529 --> 01:08:54,163
activities.

2090
01:08:54,163 --> 01:08:54,730
The call from our team is

2091
01:08:54,730 --> 01:08:57,130
aligned to address any

2092
01:08:59,401 --> 01:08:59,768
questions as well as Celina is

2093
01:08:59,768 --> 01:09:00,435
behind me.

2094
01:09:00,435 --> 01:09:01,136
We look forward to answering

2095
01:09:01,136 --> 01:09:03,536
any other questions regarding

2096
01:09:04,272 --> 01:09:04,773
our suggestions for this fund.

2097
01:09:04,773 --> 01:09:05,474
>> All right.

2098
01:09:05,474 --> 01:09:08,474
Thank you for those comments.

2099
01:09:10,712 --> 01:09:11,213
Always helpful in

2100
01:09:11,213 --> 01:09:11,847
the conversation.

2101
01:09:11,847 --> 01:09:12,181
>> Now let's go to public

2102
01:09:12,181 --> 01:09:12,548
comment.

2103
01:09:12,548 --> 01:09:14,548
Thank you.

2104
01:09:16,385 --> 01:09:17,860
Council PRESIDENT Evelyn Smith

board and I'm just here

2111
01:09:39,740 --> 01:09:39,674
requesting that these funds

2112
01:09:39,674 --> 01:09:42,674

the parks and Rec department

2114
01:09:45,148 --> 01:09:48,148
because the parks and rec

2118
01:09:52,554 --> 01:09:53,522
Thank you.

2119
01:09:53,522 --> 01:09:56,522
Thank you for the comments

2120
01:10:06,202 --> 01:10:06,903
Allegedly Audra, you you guys

2121
01:10:06,903 --> 01:10:07,270
thought I wasn't going to show

2122
01:10:07,270 --> 01:10:07,937
up today.

2123
01:10:07,937 --> 01:10:11,340
I bet would have been good.

2124
01:10:11,340 --> 01:10:11,641
I think you are right.

2125
01:10:11,641 --> 01:10:12,308
Yes.

2126
01:10:12,308 --> 01:10:13,900
So my concern is what's

2127
01:10:13,900 --> 01:10:16,900
happening at these rec centers

2128
01:10:17,613 --> 01:10:18,347
and the parks and the safety of

2129
01:10:18,347 --> 01:10:21,347
the children and really anybody

2130
01:10:24,530 --> 01:10:24,587
that participates in engaging

2131
01:10:24,587 --> 01:10:25,354
in those activities.

2132
01:10:25,354 --> 01:10:28,354
>> And as you're talking about

2133
01:10:30,126 --> 01:10:30,727
Parks after Dark program like

2134
01:10:30,727 --> 01:10:31,461
that's a little scary.

2135
01:10:31,461 --> 01:10:31,793
We don't have lights at parks

2136
01:10:31,793 --> 01:10:32,495
rubble.

2137
01:10:32,495 --> 01:10:32,794
People have been dying in your

2138
01:10:32,794 --> 01:10:34,794
parks.

2139
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:37,133
I mean murdered it you know

2140
01:10:37,133 --> 01:10:40,733
Linda Vista skate park or being

2141
01:10:41,237 --> 01:10:42,500
brutally assaulted by officers

2142
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:42,639
I mean you don't really care

2143
01:10:42,639 --> 01:10:45,390
because it doesn't really

2144
01:10:46,576 --> 01:10:47,310
affect you but it's very

2145
01:10:47,310 --> 01:10:47,977
detrimental what's happening at

2146
01:10:47,977 --> 01:10:50,977
these places And these funds

2147
01:10:52,749 --> 01:10:53,449
should be spent for safety and

2148
01:10:53,449 --> 01:10:54,184
things like that to make sure

2149
01:10:54,184 --> 01:10:54,684
there's lighting because people

2150
01:10:54,684 --> 01:10:56,684
are getting raped.

2151
01:10:58,721 --> 01:10:59,322
These are like perfect places

2152
01:10:59,322 --> 01:10:59,856
when you're a rapist or

2153
01:10:59,856 --> 01:11:00,523
something like that.

2154
01:11:00,523 --> 01:11:03,523
If they're dark and there's

2155
01:11:04,661 --> 01:11:05,361
secluded areas to go and take

2156
01:11:05,361 --> 01:11:06,620
advantage of somebody and it's

2157
01:11:06,620 --> 01:11:10,262
like you know we can sit here

2158
01:11:10,767 --> 01:11:11,468
and virtue signal like what

2159
01:11:11,468 --> 01:11:12,100
we're really doing is bringing

2160
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:12,736
forward something in

2161
01:11:12,736 --> 01:11:16,336
the community which you are But

2162
01:11:16,806 --> 01:11:17,607
if you're not ensuring that

2163
01:11:17,607 --> 01:11:18,274
it's a safe place to go to then

2164
01:11:18,274 --> 01:11:18,808
it's like where's our money

2165
01:11:18,808 --> 01:11:20,808
really being spent?

2166
01:11:22,579 --> 01:11:23,380
I mean you could sit there and

2167
01:11:23,380 --> 01:11:24,800
have swings all day long but if

2168
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:24,847
children are being raped under

2169
01:11:24,847 --> 01:11:27,784
the swings I mean how does that

2170
01:11:27,784 --> 01:11:28,718
help?

2171
01:11:28,718 --> 01:11:32,918
So I just feel like you guys

2172
01:11:33,456 --> 01:11:34,190
need to be more you know,

2173
01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:34,891
concerned about people's public

2174
01:11:34,891 --> 01:11:38,491
safety and you know, the fact

2175
01:11:39,162 --> 01:11:39,896
that, you know, you can just be

2176
01:11:39,896 --> 01:11:40,530
going and enjoying the park and

2177
01:11:40,530 --> 01:11:41,264
you know, an officer from

2178
01:11:41,264 --> 01:11:44,264
the San Diego Police Department

2179
01:11:45,302 --> 01:11:46,200
can just come up and like

2180
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:46,403
basically slam your face into

2181
01:11:46,403 --> 01:11:48,403
the ground.

2182
01:11:51,674 --> 01:11:52,342
You know, and brutally assault

2183
01:11:52,342 --> 01:11:52,809
you and then you get charged

2184
01:11:52,809 --> 01:11:54,809
with something.

2185
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:57,614
So it's just interesting

2186
01:11:57,614 --> 01:11:58,248
the things that take place that

2187
01:11:58,248 --> 01:12:01,248
isn't really of concern to

2188
01:12:03,860 --> 01:12:03,754
people who you know, those are

2189
01:12:03,754 --> 01:12:04,540
your constituents like Raul

2190
01:12:04,540 --> 01:12:04,688
Campo.

2191
01:12:04,688 --> 01:12:05,322
But you know, that's just

2192
01:12:05,322 --> 01:12:08,322
the way the business goes.

2193
01:12:14,297 --> 01:12:14,931
Good job involved Suzy or

2194
01:12:14,931 --> 01:12:17,331
Gonzalez Walden people you

2195
01:12:19,536 --> 01:12:19,936
can't read the person Sage

2196
01:12:19,936 --> 01:12:20,537
Thank you.

2197
01:12:20,537 --> 01:12:21,400
You'll have two minutes.

2198
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:21,739
Please proceed.

2199
01:12:21,739 --> 01:12:25,339
Hi, my name is Sage Consultant.

2200
01:12:25,709 --> 01:12:26,342
Well, I am the chair of Choice

2201
01:12:26,342 --> 01:12:26,643
Valley Community Planning

2202
01:12:26,643 --> 01:12:28,643
Group.

2203
01:12:30,647 --> 01:12:31,348
I'm speaking to this in favor

2204
01:12:31,348 --> 01:12:34,348
because obviously we all need

2205
01:12:36,352 --> 01:12:37,870
more money for Parks and Rec.

2206
01:12:37,870 --> 01:12:40,687
One of the issues that our

2207
01:12:41,525 --> 01:12:42,226
community has is that finding

2208
01:12:42,226 --> 01:12:42,992
what the metric is for each

2209
01:12:42,992 --> 01:12:45,992
district for parks has been

2210
01:12:47,998 --> 01:12:48,765
difficult to figure out.

2211
01:12:48,765 --> 01:12:49,332
So I have brought you each

2212
01:12:49,332 --> 01:12:51,732
something to look at.

2213
01:12:53,136 --> 01:12:53,537
This is called the Trust for

2214
01:12:53,537 --> 01:12:55,537
Public Land.

2215
01:12:58,809 --> 01:12:59,510
This is a nationwide

2216
01:12:59,510 --> 01:13:00,210
organization that that really

2217
01:13:00,210 --> 01:13:03,580
just does a metric And in San

2218
01:13:03,580 --> 01:13:03,913
Diego we rate pretty low for

2219
01:13:03,913 --> 01:13:04,948
equity.

2220
01:13:04,948 --> 01:13:09,148
So you know, the other piece is

2221
01:13:10,421 --> 01:13:11,121
next week we're speaking over

2222
01:13:11,121 --> 01:13:11,488
radio towers and this is a 31

2223
01:13:11,488 --> 01:13:13,488
acre park.

2224
01:13:14,425 --> 01:13:15,225
I know this is not on

2225
01:13:15,225 --> 01:13:15,926
the agenda but I am And I

2226
01:13:15,926 --> 01:13:19,526
really all the things that are

2227
01:13:20,164 --> 01:13:21,980
happening with the presentation

2228
01:13:21,980 --> 01:13:21,765
is this is going to be a really

2229
01:13:21,765 --> 01:13:24,765
big deal for our community.

2230
01:13:25,602 --> 01:13:30,402
So I would like you all to look

2231
01:13:30,673 --> 01:13:31,408
at this Public safety is

2232
01:13:31,408 --> 01:13:32,109
imperative in our community And

2233
01:13:32,109 --> 01:13:35,109
if you consider public safety

2234
01:13:36,313 --> 01:13:37,800
being clean air places to play,

2235
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,680
things for children to do and

2236
01:13:42,860 --> 01:13:42,887
ways to invest in our children

2237
01:13:42,887 --> 01:13:46,487
in our community this is this

2238
01:13:47,258 --> 01:13:47,625
is for for our community really

2239
01:13:47,625 --> 01:13:48,225
important.

2240
01:13:48,225 --> 01:13:51,225
I find it interesting my

2241
01:13:51,228 --> 01:13:51,995
council member isn't here today

2242
01:13:51,995 --> 01:13:52,297
and this is what we're talking

2243
01:13:52,297 --> 01:13:54,297
about.

2244
01:13:57,401 --> 01:13:57,968
>> So thank you.

2245
01:13:57,968 --> 01:13:58,369
>> Shut up here.

2246
01:13:58,369 --> 01:13:58,903
Thank you.

2247
01:13:58,903 --> 01:14:01,303
We'll pick that up.

2248
01:14:02,740 --> 01:14:03,400
Paul, are you speaking to this

2249
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:03,774

01:14:03,774 --> 01:14:04,141
Paul Kruger Are you speaking to

2251
01:14:04,141 --> 01:14:04,442
this item?

2252
01:14:04,442 --> 01:14:05,175
Okay.

2253
01:14:05,175 --> 01:14:07,912
Just wanted to make sure before

2254
01:14:07,912 --> 01:14:08,546
I went to virtual public

2255
01:14:08,546 --> 01:14:09,213

2256
01:14:09,213 --> 01:14:12,213
minute timer going to those

2258
01:14:13,217 --> 01:14:16,217
six speakers in the queue 9885

2259
01:14:21,659 --> 01:14:22,360
If you can please unmute line

2260
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:22,927
85I can't imagine for you.

2261

>> There you go.

2262
01:14:23,227 --> 01:14:25,227
Hi.

2263
01:14:27,832 --> 01:14:28,565
Hi there I am.

2264
01:14:28,565 --> 01:14:29,300
My name is Joanne Paquette.

2265
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:32,900
I am the secretary and you

2266
01:14:32,970 --> 01:14:33,670
officer for Lucky Waller our

2267
01:14:33,670 --> 01:14:34,305
Little League that is located

2268
01:14:34,305 --> 01:14:36,705
at Montgomery Water Park.

2269
01:14:36,974 --> 01:14:37,642
I have to just say that we're

2270
01:14:37,642 --> 01:14:38,442
really sad to hear that our

2271
01:14:38,442 --> 01:14:41,442
district is being passed up

2272
01:14:42,179 --> 01:14:42,880
again this year for the second

2273
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:43,681
time And it's really important

2274
01:14:43,681 --> 01:14:47,752
for us not to leave money on

2275
01:14:47,752 --> 01:14:48,486
the table especially when a

2276
01:14:48,486 --> 01:14:49,186
park with McMurry Waller has so

2277
01:14:49,186 --> 01:14:52,123
many things that it needs fix

2278
01:14:52,123 --> 01:14:52,689
and we have a playground that

2279
01:14:52,689 --> 01:14:53,391
is not ada compliant.

2280
01:14:53,391 --> 01:14:54,580
We have parking lots that have

2281
01:14:54,580 --> 01:14:56,693
no lights to them or people

2282
01:14:56,693 --> 01:14:57,562
can't get broken into them.

2283
01:14:57,562 --> 01:15:01,165
We had the Padres come out last

2284
01:15:01,165 --> 01:15:01,799
year and yes they donated

2285
01:15:01,799 --> 01:15:02,500
$40,000 to have our fields

2286
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:03,167
flattened and modeled so that

2287
01:15:03,167 --> 01:15:03,468
our kids could play on this

2288
01:15:03,468 --> 01:15:05,350
field.

2289
01:15:05,350 --> 01:15:05,803
And this is the first time

2290
01:15:05,803 --> 01:15:08,803
since 1969 that these bills are

2291
01:15:10,141 --> 01:15:10,875
fixed and we cannot depend on

2292
01:15:10,875 --> 01:15:11,542
the charity of organizations to

2293
01:15:11,542 --> 01:15:14,846
come in and step in to take

2294
01:15:14,846 --> 01:15:15,680
care of what being neglected.

2295
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:16,380
And on top of that, yes, they

2296
01:15:16,380 --> 01:15:19,684
came in and they fix those

2297
01:15:19,684 --> 01:15:20,352
fields for us but then Parks

2298
01:15:20,352 --> 01:15:21,520
and Rec allowed football and

2299
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:21,786
soccer to play on those fields

2300
01:15:21,786 --> 01:15:24,655
and so we had to spend

2301
01:15:24,655 --> 01:15:25,423
thousands of dollars this year

2302
01:15:25,423 --> 01:15:26,157
to fix them again so that they

2303
01:15:26,157 --> 01:15:29,757
can be playable for our players

2304
01:15:29,993 --> 01:15:30,695
this spring And the season is

2305
01:15:30,695 --> 01:15:31,362
almost over and we're going to

2306
01:15:31,362 --> 01:15:31,995
have to hand it back over to

2307
01:15:31,995 --> 01:15:32,630
football and soccer again.

2308
01:15:32,630 --> 01:15:34,165
It is just going to happen

2309
01:15:34,165 --> 01:15:34,932
again.

2310
01:15:34,932 --> 01:15:37,932
The community has been stepping

2311
01:15:39,304 --> 01:15:40,710
up to make sure that our parks

2312
01:15:40,710 --> 01:15:40,805
look good but it's not enough

2313
01:15:40,805 --> 01:15:43,975
and our kids deserve better and

2314
01:15:43,975 --> 01:15:44,642
we deserve the funding and

2315
01:15:44,642 --> 01:15:45,343
the funding that's left over

2316
01:15:45,343 --> 01:15:48,343
the 300,000 is not even enough

2317
01:15:49,148 --> 01:15:49,714
to start working to bring

2318
01:15:49,714 --> 01:15:50,113
Montgomery Waller into

2319
01:15:50,113 --> 01:15:50,748
compliance.

2320
01:15:50,748 --> 01:15:51,490
The playgrounds need to be

2321
01:15:51,490 --> 01:15:53,490
fixed.

2322
01:15:53,852 --> 01:15:54,652
The lights need to be fixed.

2323
01:15:54,652 --> 01:15:55,190
We don't have a scoreboard for

2324
01:15:55,190 --> 01:15:57,190
our kids.

2325
01:15:58,222 --> 01:15:58,789
We don't have a dog park.

2326
01:15:58,789 --> 01:15:59,490
It's not safe.

2327
01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:00,391
Our bathrooms are not great.

2328
01:16:00,391 --> 01:16:03,991
It's just it's not okay that

2329
01:16:04,195 --> 01:16:04,863
every year we get passed up and

2330
01:16:04,863 --> 01:16:05,563
our families deserve better.

2331
01:16:05,563 --> 01:16:08,333
This is something that I live

2332
01:16:08,333 --> 01:16:09,000
in the community, something I

2333
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:09,633
was born there and this is

2334
01:16:09,633 --> 01:16:10,335
something that we've been

2335
01:16:10,335 --> 01:16:12,971
fighting for every year that I

2336
01:16:12,971 --> 01:16:13,738
can remember.

2337
01:16:13,738 --> 01:16:14,205
My parents fought for life in

2338
01:16:14,205 --> 01:16:14,906
the parking lot.

2339
01:16:14,906 --> 01:16:15,473
I'm almost 40 years old and we

2340
01:16:15,473 --> 01:16:17,709
still don't have them.

2341
01:16:17,709 --> 01:16:18,410
We cannot leave money on

2342
01:16:18,410 --> 01:16:19,770
the table anymore and we need

2343
01:16:19,770 --> 01:16:22,677
to look at these parks and

2344
01:16:23,214 --> 01:16:23,948
these organized actions and

2345
01:16:23,948 --> 01:16:24,983
these would be places that kids

2346
01:16:24,983 --> 01:16:28,190
can go and have fun in a safe

2347
01:16:28,190 --> 01:16:28,720
manner and give them

2348
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:29,487
the opportunity to improve and

2349
01:16:29,487 --> 01:16:32,524
to grow because your time has

2350
01:16:32,524 --> 01:16:33,240
concluded Becky Rapp is

2351
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,240
the next speaker.

2352
01:16:36,494 --> 01:16:37,128
>> If you can please unmute.

2353
01:16:37,128 --> 01:16:38,129
>> Yes, good afternoon.

2354
01:16:38,129 --> 01:16:42,000
My name is Becky Rapp and it's

2355
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:42,633
unfortunate that we are to

2356
01:16:42,633 --> 01:16:43,301
the point that we have to

2357
01:16:43,301 --> 01:16:45,701
utilize opportunity funds to

2358
01:16:46,805 --> 01:16:47,139
help fund parks and rec

2359
01:16:47,139 --> 01:16:47,872
centers.

2360
01:16:47,872 --> 01:16:48,472
Our communities are being asked

2361
01:16:48,472 --> 01:16:51,472
to do more with limited

2362
01:16:51,675 --> 01:16:52,410
resources while families

2363
01:16:52,410 --> 01:16:52,978
continue to rely on these types

2364
01:16:52,978 --> 01:16:54,978
of recreation programs

2365
01:16:57,149 --> 01:16:57,749
especially now I do appreciate

2366
01:16:57,749 --> 01:17:00,149
the city's commitment to

2367
01:17:01,620 --> 01:17:02,320
expanding the recreational

2368
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:02,988
opportunities but we also need

2369
01:17:02,988 --> 01:17:05,988
to look at opportunities to

2370
01:17:06,858 --> 01:17:07,592
generate additional revenue

2371
01:17:07,592 --> 01:17:07,893
without asking taxpayers to pay

2372
01:17:07,893 --> 01:17:09,893
more.

2373
01:17:10,662 --> 01:17:11,263
One opportunity is stronger

2374
01:17:11,263 --> 01:17:13,663
enforcement of laws that

2375
01:17:15,833 --> 01:17:16,434
already exist across San Diego

2376
01:17:16,434 --> 01:17:17,102
illegal flavored tobacco

2377
01:17:17,102 --> 01:17:19,102
products, intoxicating hemp

2378
01:17:19,838 --> 01:17:20,539
products and other prohibited

2379
01:17:20,539 --> 01:17:23,539
items continue to be sold

2380
01:17:24,709 --> 01:17:25,310
openly, often and often in

2381
01:17:25,310 --> 01:17:25,977
storefront windows near

2382
01:17:25,977 --> 01:17:26,311
neighborhoods and recreation

2383
01:17:26,311 --> 01:17:28,311
centers.

2384
01:17:30,281 --> 01:17:30,982
These illegal sales undermine

2385
01:17:30,982 --> 01:17:31,717
public health, increase youth

2386
01:17:31,717 --> 01:17:34,117
exposure and create unnecessary

2387
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:35,821
burdens on our communities.

2388
01:17:35,821 --> 01:17:36,455
Stronger enforcement will not

2389
01:17:36,455 --> 01:17:38,855
only protect children and

2390
01:17:40,292 --> 01:17:40,959
families, it could also

2391
01:17:40,959 --> 01:17:41,627
generate substantial revenue

2392
01:17:41,627 --> 01:17:44,270
through penalties, fines and

2393
01:17:44,496 --> 01:17:45,163
enforcement actions.

2394
01:17:45,163 --> 01:17:45,864
>> Those funds could be

2395
01:17:45,864 --> 01:17:48,264
reinvested directly into our

2396
01:17:49,534 --> 01:17:50,234
recreation system.

2397
01:17:50,234 --> 01:17:53,234
Imagine what that could mean.

2398
01:17:54,172 --> 01:17:54,906
Recreation centers could expand

2399
01:17:54,906 --> 01:17:55,540
afterschool and summer programs

2400
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:57,940
parks that currently lack

2401
01:17:59,244 --> 01:18:00,110
adequate lighting could finally

2402
01:18:00,110 --> 01:18:00,612
be lit up making them safer and

2403
01:18:00,612 --> 01:18:02,612
more accessible during

2404
01:18:04,115 --> 01:18:04,816
the evening hours.

2405
01:18:04,816 --> 01:18:05,417
Facilities could receive long

2406
01:18:05,417 --> 01:18:07,417
overdue maintenance and

2407
01:18:09,321 --> 01:18:09,921
neighborhoods with the greatest

2408
01:18:09,921 --> 01:18:10,522
needs could benefit from

2409
01:18:10,522 --> 01:18:12,522
additional recreational

2410
01:18:13,659 --> 01:18:14,460
activities without relying

2411
01:18:14,460 --> 01:18:17,460
solely on limited general fund

2412
01:18:18,130 --> 01:18:18,831
dollars.

2413
01:18:18,831 --> 01:18:22,431
I just encourage the city to

2414
01:18:23,434 --> 01:18:24,135
make stronger enforcement of

2415
01:18:24,135 --> 01:18:24,903
existing laws as part of its

2416
01:18:24,903 --> 01:18:27,903
long term funding strategy for

2417
01:18:28,607 --> 01:18:29,341
parks and Rec.

2418
01:18:29,341 --> 01:18:29,775
>> Let's put it back into

2419
01:18:29,775 --> 01:18:30,142
the community.

2420
01:18:30,142 --> 01:18:32,142
Thank you.

2421
01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:36,611
Thank you Blair Beakman If you

2422
01:18:37,249 --> 01:18:37,749
can please unmute.

2423
01:18:37,749 --> 01:18:38,116
>> All right.

2424
01:18:38,116 --> 01:18:38,550
Thank you.

2425
01:18:38,550 --> 01:18:40,550
We're Beakman.

2426
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:42,288
I think this is about the third

2427
01:18:42,288 --> 01:18:42,888
time this item has been here at

2428
01:18:42,888 --> 01:18:45,288
Council in committee in

2429
01:18:46,325 --> 01:18:46,792
the past month and a half.

2430
01:18:46,792 --> 01:18:47,492
Thank you.

2431
01:18:47,492 --> 01:18:47,859
It's interesting for items to

2432
01:18:47,859 --> 01:18:49,859
come back.

2433
01:18:51,263 --> 01:18:51,864
I thought additional funding it

2434
01:18:51,864 --> 01:18:52,564
was described today that

2435
01:18:52,564 --> 01:18:55,564
additional funding is going to

2436
01:18:56,135 --> 01:18:57,690
be going to District eight.

2437
01:18:57,690 --> 01:19:00,573
So good luck how that can go to

2438
01:19:00,573 --> 01:19:01,600
the park that was described as

2439
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,600
needing help.

2440
01:19:04,643 --> 01:19:05,344
>> And you know as this is

2441
01:19:05,344 --> 01:19:08,913
the third time with this item,

2442
01:19:08,913 --> 01:19:09,815
I hope my ideas can be very

2443
01:19:09,815 --> 01:19:10,549
much a part of this process in

2444
01:19:10,549 --> 01:19:14,120
how we talk about the future of

2445
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:14,854
our tech accountability for

2446
01:19:14,854 --> 01:19:18,454
the future of these rec centers

2447
01:19:19,325 --> 01:19:20,920
and park systems in San Diego.

2448
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:20,959
It sounds like there's going to

2449
01:19:20,959 --> 01:19:23,995
be a lot of new aspects of

2450
01:19:23,995 --> 01:19:24,663
surveillance tech coming up and

2451
01:19:24,663 --> 01:19:25,364
I think we should be well

2452
01:19:25,364 --> 01:19:28,964
prepared that we not only ask

2453
01:19:29,330 --> 01:19:29,735
for good surveillance tech but

2454
01:19:29,735 --> 01:19:30,169
that we ask for good policies

2455
01:19:30,169 --> 01:19:32,169
with the tech.

2456
01:19:33,806 --> 01:19:34,306
I think I think we have to

2457
01:19:34,306 --> 01:19:34,907
start moving past

2458
01:19:34,907 --> 01:19:37,307
the euphemisms of sports

2459
01:19:38,611 --> 01:19:39,311
utility lighting and learn to

2460
01:19:39,311 --> 01:19:42,311
speak directly to the concept

2461
01:19:43,983 --> 01:19:44,617
of biometric technology as an

2462
01:19:44,617 --> 01:19:45,317
example and that we're not

2463
01:19:45,317 --> 01:19:48,421
afraid to have that subject be

2464
01:19:48,421 --> 01:19:48,921
a regular talking point in our

2465
01:19:48,921 --> 01:19:49,589
community dialog.

2466
01:19:49,589 --> 01:19:52,891
We don't know how to do that

2467
01:19:52,891 --> 01:19:53,626
yet but yet biometric tech was

2468
01:19:53,626 --> 01:19:54,460
all around us during the era of

2469
01:19:54,460 --> 01:19:57,863
covid and in our post-covid era

2470
01:19:57,863 --> 01:19:58,396
and yet we don't know how to

2471
01:19:58,396 --> 01:19:58,998
practice having that

2472
01:19:58,998 --> 01:20:00,998
conversation openly yet.

2473
01:20:02,535 --> 01:20:03,235
It's really important to say

2474
01:20:03,235 --> 01:20:03,903
that instead of sports utility

2475
01:20:03,903 --> 01:20:07,406
lighting and I hope we make

2476
01:20:07,406 --> 01:20:08,174
the efforts to do that.

2477
01:20:08,174 --> 01:20:11,774
And for all the clamor to

2478
01:20:12,512 --> 01:20:13,279
create new tech we have to have

2479
01:20:13,279 --> 01:20:13,980
we have that has to be equally

2480
01:20:13,980 --> 01:20:16,980
balanced with the concepts of

2481
01:20:17,316 --> 01:20:18,500
good policy practices.

2482
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:18,784
And that's all I ask for.

2483
01:20:18,784 --> 01:20:22,188
You know, in this sort of

2484
01:20:22,188 --> 01:20:22,922
instance, you know how we can

2485
01:20:22,922 --> 01:20:23,756
limit our tech is important and

2486
01:20:23,756 --> 01:20:26,692
it can do that serve the same

2487
01:20:26,692 --> 01:20:27,493
purposes.

2488
01:20:27,493 --> 01:20:28,127
But having the good policies in

2489
01:20:28,127 --> 01:20:31,127
place just adds that we're

2490
01:20:31,797 --> 01:20:32,598
doing things well.

2491
01:20:32,598 --> 01:20:33,320
We're doing it responsibly and

2492
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,320
holistically.

2493
01:20:36,402 --> 01:20:37,136
I mean that's how you build

2494
01:20:37,136 --> 01:20:37,737
the park community future and I

2495
01:20:37,737 --> 01:20:40,737
hope you take to heart.

2496
01:20:41,340 --> 01:20:42,410
Creating good tech policies

2497
01:20:42,410 --> 01:20:42,809
with our future tech in our

2498
01:20:42,809 --> 01:20:45,809
parks Your time has concluded

2499
01:20:46,512 --> 01:20:46,813
and so has the five minute

2500
01:20:46,813 --> 01:20:47,447
timer.

2501
01:20:47,447 --> 01:20:48,810
We have three speakers in

2502
01:20:48,810 --> 01:20:48,414
the queue with their hands

2503
01:20:48,414 --> 01:20:50,283
raised.

2504
01:20:50,283 --> 01:20:51,250
No additional speakers will be

2505
01:20:51,250 --> 01:20:54,850
taken at 700 If you can please

2506
01:20:55,321 --> 01:20:55,889
unmute.

2507
01:20:55,889 --> 01:20:57,889
Thank you Joy.

2508
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,960
Assume that I support this

2509
01:21:04,364 --> 01:21:05,640
movement of funds to see

2510
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,464
the eight Councilmember Moreno

2511
01:21:09,340 --> 01:21:12,905
Ward I think it was just a week

2512
01:21:12,905 --> 01:21:13,438
or two ago and I listened so I

2513
01:21:13,438 --> 01:21:15,438
strongly support it.

2514
01:21:17,944 --> 01:21:18,611
I really liked under the in

2515
01:21:18,611 --> 01:21:21,611
the staff report under equal

2516
01:21:23,416 --> 01:21:24,217
opportunity contracting info

2517
01:21:24,217 --> 01:21:27,720
the way they spelled it out

2518
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:28,421
the whole the steps in

2519
01:21:28,421 --> 01:21:31,421
the unfoldment of the process

2520
01:21:32,192 --> 01:21:32,592
it just got me to a big yes

2521
01:21:32,592 --> 01:21:33,460
real fast.

2522
01:21:33,460 --> 01:21:37,600
So if you haven't read that

2523
01:21:38,164 --> 01:21:38,430
section I highly recommend send

2524
01:21:38,430 --> 01:21:39,432
it.

2525
01:21:39,432 --> 01:21:42,902
So and then my next comment is

2526
01:21:42,902 --> 01:21:47,102
on the c r g the community

2527
01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:48,410
recreation groups Do we know

2528
01:21:48,410 --> 01:21:51,410
this is not a judgment?

2529
01:21:51,912 --> 01:21:52,679
I'm a little bit in the past

2530
01:21:52,679 --> 01:21:55,679
with the recreation councils It

2531
01:21:55,914 --> 01:21:56,883
was very bumpy the way it ended

2532
01:21:56,883 --> 01:22:00,483
up but do we have enough

2533
01:22:01,121 --> 01:22:01,887
transparency monitoring and

2534
01:22:01,887 --> 01:22:04,887
oversight of the influence on

2535
01:22:06,626 --> 01:22:07,270
funds and so forth The movement

2536
01:22:07,270 --> 01:22:07,727
to influence

2537
01:22:07,727 --> 01:22:10,727
the recommendations from the c

2538
01:22:11,530 --> 01:22:11,865
r g groups and how that is all

2539
01:22:11,865 --> 01:22:13,865
handled.

2540
01:22:16,169 --> 01:22:16,936
Thank you Kim Desmond because

2541
01:22:16,936 --> 01:22:19,936
I'm really excited about you

2542
01:22:21,475 --> 01:22:22,175
being called to do work on

2543
01:22:22,175 --> 01:22:25,775
the spend down and the scoring

2544
01:22:26,460 --> 01:22:26,713
metrics.

2545
01:22:26,713 --> 01:22:29,113
Recent Equity Department is

2546
01:22:31,151 --> 01:22:31,851
really really needed on that

2547
01:22:31,851 --> 01:22:32,619
and you're just going to come

2548
01:22:32,619 --> 01:22:35,619
forward with your greatness and

2549
01:22:35,922 --> 01:22:36,890
you're going to make it happen.

2550
01:22:36,890 --> 01:22:40,761
So I love the Race and Equity

2551
01:22:40,761 --> 01:22:41,628
Department.

2552
01:22:41,628 --> 01:22:42,329
I was against it sort of it

2553
01:22:42,329 --> 01:22:45,799
first being part of the idea.

2554
01:22:45,799 --> 01:22:46,433
But you began beginning to be

2555
01:22:46,433 --> 01:22:47,134
even better and better and

2556
01:22:47,134 --> 01:22:50,134
greater and greater heroes for

2557
01:22:50,771 --> 01:22:51,738
me on this important item.

2558
01:22:51,738 --> 01:22:55,509
And then of course you MAY have

2559
01:22:55,509 --> 01:22:58,509
to cut me off, sweetie.

2560
01:23:00,130 --> 01:23:00,681
No grants in a nine, no grants

2561
01:23:00,681 --> 01:23:03,681
and your time is concluded.

2562
01:23:04,451 --> 01:23:05,152
Francine Maxwell if you can

2563
01:23:05,152 --> 01:23:07,552
please unmute Francine Maxwell

2564
01:23:08,188 --> 01:23:08,755
Southeastern San Diego resident

2565
01:23:08,755 --> 01:23:09,489
Thank you so much for

2566
01:23:09,489 --> 01:23:11,889
the presentation and full

2567
01:23:13,559 --> 01:23:14,228
support of their request

2568
01:23:14,228 --> 01:23:17,228
wanting to make sure that

2569
01:23:18,665 --> 01:23:19,365
people go and make sure that

2570
01:23:19,365 --> 01:23:22,965
the studies that were done in

2571
01:23:23,703 --> 01:23:24,404
earlier years are pulled off

2572
01:23:24,404 --> 01:23:24,972
the shelf before we decide to

2573
01:23:24,972 --> 01:23:27,372
do another one because

2574
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:28,475
the things that were found

2575
01:23:28,475 --> 01:23:29,176
remain the same.

2576
01:23:29,176 --> 01:23:32,776
So before we spend more money

2577
01:23:32,780 --> 01:23:33,480
on disparities steady let's

2578
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:34,800
make sure that we go to

2579
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,800
the shelves and pull off

2580
01:23:37,851 --> 01:23:38,619
the programing equity study

2581
01:23:38,619 --> 01:23:41,619
within the parking rec desist

2582
01:23:42,589 --> 01:23:46,189
system and we MAY need to

2583
01:23:46,460 --> 01:23:47,261
expand his board another seat

2584
01:23:47,261 --> 01:23:47,961
at the table where it comes

2585
01:23:47,961 --> 01:23:50,961
from the community Voice Not

2586
01:23:52,990 --> 01:23:52,799
people that are paid where

2587
01:23:52,799 --> 01:23:56,399
they're going to check a box

2588
01:23:56,670 --> 01:23:57,404
and pretty much be able to pull

2589
01:23:57,404 --> 01:23:57,905
out what the community has been

2590
01:23:57,905 --> 01:23:59,905
knowing for years.

2591
01:24:01,175 --> 01:24:01,909
We knew that there were issues

2592
01:24:01,909 --> 01:24:05,509
with the hiring that our panels

2593
01:24:06,580 --> 01:24:07,314
had relatives on it and so

2594
01:24:07,314 --> 01:24:10,314
given that the department knows

2595
01:24:11,352 --> 01:24:11,986
it we don't need to sit and

2596
01:24:11,986 --> 01:24:12,653
continue to put committees

2597
01:24:12,653 --> 01:24:13,387
together and put people that

2598
01:24:13,387 --> 01:24:16,290
are going to sit there and talk

2599
01:24:16,290 --> 01:24:16,724
about it and not change

2600
01:24:16,724 --> 01:24:18,724
the narrative.

2601
01:24:21,228 --> 01:24:21,962
So again, looking forward to

2602
01:24:21,962 --> 01:24:22,563
more transparency and oversight

2603
01:24:22,563 --> 01:24:24,963
within our parking rec.

2604
01:24:26,301 --> 01:24:27,340
The system making sure that

2605
01:24:27,340 --> 01:24:30,634
when people are turned out they

2606
01:24:31,438 --> 01:24:32,600
are thoughtfully removed so

2607
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:32,606
that things can grow.

2608
01:24:32,606 --> 01:24:35,600
Also remember that it's

2609
01:24:35,709 --> 01:24:36,510
the council office that directs

2610
01:24:36,510 --> 01:24:37,178
things that they want to as

2611
01:24:37,178 --> 01:24:40,778
well and people that are in

2612
01:24:41,148 --> 01:24:41,948
the areas of concern sometimes

2613
01:24:41,948 --> 01:24:42,616
you remain the areas of concern

2614
01:24:42,616 --> 01:24:43,317
because you need to look at

2615
01:24:43,317 --> 01:24:45,717
what's going on behind

2616
01:24:45,786 --> 01:24:46,553
the doors in the council office

2617
01:24:46,553 --> 01:24:50,153
because our park was stacked to

2618
01:24:50,424 --> 01:24:51,225
get a a plaza when we could

2619
01:24:51,225 --> 01:24:54,825
have pushed harder and got a

2620
01:24:55,262 --> 01:24:55,996
whole skate park across

2621
01:24:55,996 --> 01:24:56,731
the street on some land that we

2622
01:24:56,731 --> 01:25:00,331
own, all those people are gone.

2623
01:25:00,500 --> 01:25:01,202
They attended the meeting and

2624
01:25:01,202 --> 01:25:02,300
the park system knew that they

2625
01:25:02,300 --> 01:25:02,670
were going to do it and so did

2626
01:25:02,670 --> 01:25:05,670
the council office and that

2627
01:25:07,842 --> 01:25:08,509
doesn't bode well.

2628
01:25:08,509 --> 01:25:11,509
That concludes your time and

2629
01:25:12,580 --> 01:25:13,347
our final speakers Peggy Walker

2630
01:25:13,347 --> 01:25:16,947
Thank you again As a youth

2631
01:25:17,885 --> 01:25:18,586
mentor I support this with a

2632
01:25:18,586 --> 01:25:21,586
focus on safety and oversight.

2633
01:25:22,155 --> 01:25:22,890
It's important to provide

2634
01:25:22,890 --> 01:25:25,290
greater availability of healthy

2635
01:25:26,627 --> 01:25:27,328
recreational choices in a safe

2636
01:25:27,328 --> 01:25:27,995
place for children, especially

2637
01:25:27,995 --> 01:25:29,995
in underserved communities.

2638
01:25:32,660 --> 01:25:32,767
This is important at a time

2639
01:25:32,767 --> 01:25:33,468
when youth are bombarded with

2640
01:25:33,468 --> 01:25:37,680
so many diverse and not always

2641
01:25:37,772 --> 01:25:38,272
healthy way to spend their time

2642
01:25:38,272 --> 01:25:40,672
when case in point

2643
01:25:41,642 --> 01:25:42,376
the overwhelming draft So some

2644
01:25:42,376 --> 01:25:43,111
media another scores of studies

2645
01:25:43,111 --> 01:25:46,711
have shown that when kids live

2646
01:25:47,810 --> 01:25:47,753
near dispensaries for example

2647
01:25:47,753 --> 01:25:48,516
they are more likely to use

2648
01:25:48,516 --> 01:25:52,190
marijuana and as a result have

2649
01:25:52,190 --> 01:25:52,787
higher rates of psychosis.

2650
01:25:52,787 --> 01:25:55,787
There is a greater prevalence

2651
01:25:56,391 --> 01:25:57,580
of dispensary dispensaries and

2652
01:25:57,580 --> 01:25:57,725
higher rates of underage use

2653
01:25:57,725 --> 01:26:00,125
marijuana use in underserved

2654
01:26:01,529 --> 01:26:02,330
communities.

2655
01:26:02,330 --> 01:26:03,310
So we need to counterbalance

2656
01:26:03,310 --> 01:26:06,310
that with safe and equitable

2657
01:26:06,334 --> 01:26:07,680
year round recreational

2658
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:07,468
opportunities for healthy youth

2659
01:26:07,468 --> 01:26:09,468
activities.

2660
01:26:11,673 --> 01:26:12,140
The interaction and engagement

2661
01:26:12,140 --> 01:26:12,507
Thank you again.

2662
01:26:12,507 --> 01:26:14,507
Thank you.

2663
01:26:16,344 --> 01:26:16,911
And that concludes public

2664
01:26:16,911 --> 01:26:17,445
comment on this item.

2665
01:26:17,445 --> 01:26:17,812
>> All right.

2666
01:26:17,812 --> 01:26:18,213
Thank you.

2667
01:26:18,213 --> 01:26:19,470
City Clerk.

2668
01:26:19,470 --> 01:26:21,148
An item like this I would

2669
01:26:21,148 --> 01:26:21,783
normally go to the chair of

2670
01:26:21,783 --> 01:26:22,417
the Community Neighborhood

2671
01:26:22,417 --> 01:26:23,117
services but we're here a

2672
01:26:23,117 --> 01:26:26,117
second time because of issues

2673
01:26:26,254 --> 01:26:26,988
raised by District eight So I'm

2674
01:26:26,988 --> 01:26:27,422
going to start out with council

2675
01:26:27,422 --> 01:26:29,422
member Moreno.

2676
01:26:30,357 --> 01:26:31,226
>> Thank you.

2677
01:26:31,226 --> 01:26:31,826
I want to thank our Parks and

2678
01:26:31,826 --> 01:26:33,826
Rec staff and

2679
01:26:35,430 --> 01:26:36,131
the administration for your

2680
01:26:36,131 --> 01:26:36,731
work on this revision and also

2681
01:26:36,731 --> 01:26:39,131
to my colleagues for

2682
01:26:39,934 --> 01:26:40,301
understanding my concerns on

2683
01:26:40,301 --> 01:26:41,202
this item.

2684
01:26:41,202 --> 01:26:45,600
When it was heard last week at

2685
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:45,706
Council the opportunity Fund is

2686
01:26:45,706 --> 01:26:46,441
a special revenue fund created

2687
01:26:46,441 --> 01:26:49,511
by the Parks and Rec Department

2688
01:26:49,511 --> 01:26:50,145
to reduce historical

2689
01:26:50,145 --> 01:26:52,145
disparities in recreation

2690
01:26:54,616 --> 01:26:55,216
programing a goal that I

2691
01:26:55,216 --> 01:26:57,216
strongly support In 2021

2692
01:26:59,187 --> 01:26:59,954
the City of San Diego released

2693
01:26:59,954 --> 01:27:00,689
their Park Master Plan and

2694
01:27:00,689 --> 01:27:03,689
the Performance Audit of Equity

2695
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:04,793
and Recreation programing both

2696
01:27:04,793 --> 01:27:06,793
identified inequities related

2697
01:27:08,697 --> 01:27:09,364
to park access and recreation

2698
01:27:09,364 --> 01:27:11,764
programing across the city.

2699
01:27:13,301 --> 01:27:15,301
The performance audit

2700
01:27:17,438 --> 01:27:18,139
recommendation recommendations

2701
01:27:18,139 --> 01:27:18,739
six states that the Park and

2702
01:27:18,739 --> 01:27:21,139
Rec Department should a

2703
01:27:22,611 --> 01:27:23,311
developed document and

2704
01:27:23,311 --> 01:27:26,311
implement a plan for directing

2705
01:27:27,449 --> 01:27:28,150
resources including any equity

2706
01:27:28,150 --> 01:27:28,850
based funding towards specific

2707
01:27:28,850 --> 01:27:31,250
steps to eliminate identified

2708
01:27:32,788 --> 01:27:33,655
disparities.

2709
01:27:33,655 --> 01:27:36,550
The Opportunity Fund was

2710
01:27:37,826 --> 01:27:38,493
created in direct response to

2711
01:27:38,493 --> 01:27:40,893
that recommendation and it's

2712
01:27:42,297 --> 01:27:42,931
deeply troubling that the fund

2713
01:27:42,931 --> 01:27:43,665
itself is now reproducing

2714
01:27:43,665 --> 01:27:46,665
the disparities it was designed

2715
01:27:47,869 --> 01:27:51,500
to fix sit Since its inception

2716
01:27:51,500 --> 01:27:51,740
in fiscal year 24, District

2717
01:27:51,740 --> 01:27:54,140
eight has consistently received

2718
01:27:56,440 --> 01:27:56,778
a disproportionately low share

2719
01:27:56,778 --> 01:27:59,178
of opportunity fund allocations

2720
01:28:00,881 --> 01:28:01,450
compared to other historically

2721
01:28:01,450 --> 01:28:02,170
underserved districts.

2722
01:28:02,170 --> 01:28:04,417
The numbers speak for

2723
01:28:06,210 --> 01:28:06,822
themselves in fiscal year 24,

2724
01:28:06,822 --> 01:28:09,222
District eight received 9% of

2725
01:28:11,590 --> 01:28:13,459
the total opportunity Fund

2726
01:28:14,296 --> 01:28:15,630
allocation In fiscal year 25,

2727
01:28:15,630 --> 01:28:17,463
District eight got 24% in

2728
01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:20,500
fiscal year 26 District eight

2729
01:28:22,137 --> 01:28:24,537
got 12% Fiscal year 27 we're

2730
01:28:26,675 --> 01:28:27,476
getting 26% and this is only

2731
01:28:27,476 --> 01:28:30,476
after this revision and only

2732
01:28:31,613 --> 01:28:32,314
with additional funds Over four

2733
01:28:32,314 --> 01:28:34,714
years District eight has

2734
01:28:35,984 --> 01:28:38,984
averaged roughly 18% of a fund

2735
01:28:40,550 --> 01:28:40,656
explicitly designed to address

2736
01:28:40,656 --> 01:28:42,656
underserved communities.

2737
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:45,627
To me that's a continuation of

2738
01:28:45,627 --> 01:28:48,130
the same neglect these funds

2739
01:28:48,130 --> 01:28:51,130
were created for and it's

2740
01:28:53,135 --> 01:28:53,902
unacceptable.

2741
01:28:53,902 --> 01:28:54,670
>> I also want to address

2742
01:28:54,670 --> 01:28:58,173
the issue of unspent rec center

2743
01:28:58,173 --> 01:28:58,941
funds.

2744
01:28:58,941 --> 01:29:01,777
When this item was first

2745
01:29:01,777 --> 01:29:02,578
brought forward, District eight

2746
01:29:02,578 --> 01:29:05,578
had $1.2 million in funds and

2747
01:29:07,283 --> 01:29:07,950
it was these exact funds that

2748
01:29:07,950 --> 01:29:10,950
are obstructing my park and

2749
01:29:11,854 --> 01:29:12,555
RECs from being considered for

2750
01:29:12,555 --> 01:29:14,955
the opportunity fund Yet

2751
01:29:16,425 --> 01:29:17,192
the money has not been spent.

2752
01:29:17,192 --> 01:29:20,792
It was those unspent funds that

2753
01:29:21,630 --> 01:29:22,164
disqualified our parks from

2754
01:29:22,164 --> 01:29:22,798
being considered for

2755
01:29:22,798 --> 01:29:24,798
opportunity fund dollars.

2756
01:29:26,969 --> 01:29:27,736
I stated last time and I still

2757
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:31,707
have it I have an invoice for

2758
01:29:31,707 --> 01:29:32,374
$34,000 for a scoreboard that

2759
01:29:32,374 --> 01:29:32,908
Little League families have

2760
01:29:32,908 --> 01:29:34,908
advocated for years.

2761
01:29:36,846 --> 01:29:39,246
Montgomery Waller Park has

2762
01:29:41,830 --> 01:29:41,884
$302,000 in identified needs

2763
01:29:41,884 --> 01:29:42,184
with funds that have not been

2764
01:29:42,184 --> 01:29:44,184
spent.

2765
01:29:46,421 --> 01:29:47,890
The San Diego American Memorial

2766
01:29:47,890 --> 01:29:50,890
Park Little League plays on

2767
01:29:51,930 --> 01:29:51,794
baseball fields that need laser

2768
01:29:51,794 --> 01:29:52,560
leveling clay for the bases

2769
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,560
proper fencing to allow for

2770
01:29:56,532 --> 01:29:57,166
landscape maintenance and

2771
01:29:57,166 --> 01:29:59,566
additional shading In this

2772
01:30:01,170 --> 01:30:01,904
revision memorial park will not

2773
01:30:01,904 --> 01:30:05,504
will now receive some funds but

2774
01:30:05,541 --> 01:30:06,242
absolutely not enough to

2775
01:30:06,242 --> 01:30:06,709
address the full scope of what

2776
01:30:06,709 --> 01:30:08,709
the fields need.

2777
01:30:10,813 --> 01:30:11,547
My residents deserve the same

2778
01:30:11,547 --> 01:30:14,547
quality of parks and recreation

2779
01:30:15,718 --> 01:30:16,385
programs that other that other

2780
01:30:16,385 --> 01:30:18,785
communities across this city

2781
01:30:19,721 --> 01:30:20,389
take for granted.

2782
01:30:20,389 --> 01:30:21,900
The opportunity funds exist

2783
01:30:21,900 --> 01:30:24,690
precisely to close the gap and

2784
01:30:25,610 --> 01:30:25,695
right now it's falling short of

2785
01:30:25,695 --> 01:30:25,995
that promise for District

2786
01:30:25,995 --> 01:30:27,995
eight.

2787
01:30:29,832 --> 01:30:30,398
I disagree with the historical

2788
01:30:30,398 --> 01:30:32,398
trajectory of priority

2789
01:30:34,303 --> 01:30:34,937
prioritization that has been

2790
01:30:34,937 --> 01:30:36,937
presented because District

2791
01:30:38,774 --> 01:30:39,809
eight deserves more.

2792
01:30:39,809 --> 01:30:44,790
I do want to thank our Chief of

2793
01:30:44,790 --> 01:30:44,747
race and equity Can Kim Desmond

2794
01:30:44,747 --> 01:30:48,840
and I look forward I look

2795
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:48,651
forward to looking into

2796
01:30:48,651 --> 01:30:51,510
the process that these

2797
01:30:52,521 --> 01:30:52,855
opportunity funds get allocated

2798
01:30:52,855 --> 01:30:53,556
.

2799
01:30:53,556 --> 01:30:56,556
The committee members that are

2800
01:30:57,860 --> 01:30:58,561
sitting on the committee that

2801
01:30:58,561 --> 01:31:02,161
gets to decide how these funds

2802
01:31:02,899 --> 01:31:03,665
are being spent which were to

2803
01:31:03,665 --> 01:31:04,167
items that I brought up at

2804
01:31:04,167 --> 01:31:04,934
the last meeting.

2805
01:31:04,934 --> 01:31:07,200
When are you proposing to come

2806
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,602
back to this Council with your

2807
01:31:12,208 --> 01:31:13,142
findings?

2808
01:31:13,142 --> 01:31:13,842
>> So I think we can sketch out

2809
01:31:13,842 --> 01:31:16,980
a timeline what Parks and Rec

2810
01:31:16,980 --> 01:31:17,747
for f y 28 as looking at some

2811
01:31:17,747 --> 01:31:21,347
of these factors I think it

2812
01:31:21,818 --> 01:31:22,517
deserves some critique to make

2813
01:31:22,517 --> 01:31:23,118
sure we're getting it right so

2814
01:31:23,118 --> 01:31:23,853
we can come back with a

2815
01:31:23,853 --> 01:31:25,989
timeline when we get with Parks

2816
01:31:25,989 --> 01:31:26,722
and Rec If that suffices.

2817
01:31:26,722 --> 01:31:30,322
Okay so we don't know yet.

2818
01:31:30,894 --> 01:31:31,661
It could be a month.

2819
01:31:31,661 --> 01:31:32,950
It could be seven months.

2820
01:31:32,950 --> 01:31:34,950
That's right.

2821
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:36,833
It's up to the administration.

2822
01:31:36,833 --> 01:31:39,233
>> Councilmember I think that's

2823
01:31:39,969 --> 01:31:40,603
fair.

2824
01:31:40,603 --> 01:31:41,203
The timeline is somewhat

2825
01:31:41,203 --> 01:31:41,905
indeterminate right now.

2826
01:31:41,905 --> 01:31:44,439
However, we anticipate that an

2827
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:45,175
updated process including

2828
01:31:45,175 --> 01:31:48,175
members of the Opportunity Fund

2829
01:31:49,878 --> 01:31:50,580
kind of committee would be in

2830
01:31:50,580 --> 01:31:51,114
place in time for development

2831
01:31:51,114 --> 01:31:53,514
of the fy 28 budget.

2832
01:31:54,350 --> 01:31:54,984
So I know that you will not be

2833
01:31:54,984 --> 01:31:55,652
sitting here next year but

2834
01:31:55,652 --> 01:31:58,520
whoever succeeds you should

2835
01:32:00,256 --> 01:32:00,890
have the benefit of having some

2836
01:32:00,890 --> 01:32:03,890
folks from the draft team

2837
01:32:03,893 --> 01:32:04,661
sitting on that committee when

2838
01:32:04,661 --> 01:32:05,161
they see their fy 28 numbers

2839
01:32:05,161 --> 01:32:05,595
presented to you.

2840
01:32:05,595 --> 01:32:06,262
>> Wonderful.

2841
01:32:06,262 --> 01:32:08,932
And so I would just like to

2842
01:32:08,932 --> 01:32:09,632
read into the record

2843
01:32:09,632 --> 01:32:10,399
the committee member titles We

2844
01:32:10,399 --> 01:32:14,400
and these are all city of San

2845
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:14,671
Diego associate manager analyst

2846
01:32:14,671 --> 01:32:17,671
a district manager, an area

2847
01:32:18,742 --> 01:32:19,344
manager, a senior management

2848
01:32:19,344 --> 01:32:19,976
analyst supervising rec

2849
01:32:19,976 --> 01:32:22,376
specialist, a senior park

2850
01:32:24,114 --> 01:32:24,781
ranger and I think recently

2851
01:32:24,781 --> 01:32:27,181
added a philanthropic public

2852
01:32:28,485 --> 01:32:29,251
partner into that.

2853
01:32:29,251 --> 01:32:30,200
These are the folks that get to

2854
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,200
decide how much funding is

2855
01:32:33,256 --> 01:32:33,923
being disbursed And obviously

2856
01:32:33,923 --> 01:32:36,323
the city council puts

2857
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:38,862
the parameters as to what is

2858
01:32:38,862 --> 01:32:40,862
puts the approves

2859
01:32:42,265 --> 01:32:42,966
the parameters So definitely

2860
01:32:42,966 --> 01:32:45,966
something that needs to be

2861
01:32:47,471 --> 01:32:48,104
looked at with a finer lens.

2862
01:32:48,104 --> 01:32:48,739
Also Council Councilmember

2863
01:32:48,739 --> 01:32:51,739
Foster at the last meeting

2864
01:32:52,441 --> 01:32:56,410
brought up the fact that he

2865
01:32:56,979 --> 01:32:57,680
would wanted to see a funding

2866
01:32:57,680 --> 01:32:58,315
allocations for these park and

2867
01:32:58,315 --> 01:33:01,315
RECs at during the budget

2868
01:33:02,219 --> 01:33:02,552
process which I very much

2869
01:33:02,552 --> 01:33:04,552

apologize I do want to thank my

2903
01:34:45,355 --> 01:34:47,755
colleague Council member Shani

2904
01:34:48,292 --> 01:34:49,260
Leo Rivera for proposing

2905
01:34:49,260 --> 01:34:49,693
the $100,000 from the Surf Club

2906
01:34:49,693 --> 01:34:52,930
Boards llc percentage ground

2907
01:34:53,363 --> 01:34:53,931
lease payment.

2908
01:34:53,931 --> 01:34:54,398
Thank you for that

2909
01:34:54,398 --> 01:34:56,398
recommendation.

2910
01:34:57,468 --> 01:35:01,680
I will note that District four

2911
01:35:01,338 --> 01:35:02,390
and District nine are receiving

2912
01:35:02,390 --> 01:35:04,390
$250,000 of opportunity funds

2913
01:35:05,642 --> 01:35:07,642
which they 1,000% deserve.

2914
01:35:08,913 --> 01:35:09,714
District eight is only getting

2915
01:35:09,714 --> 01:35:12,114
$150,000 this year and that's

2916
01:35:13,317 --> 01:35:14,510
because of the $100,000 that my

2917
01:35:14,510 --> 01:35:17,510
colleague was able to identify.

2918
01:35:17,555 --> 01:35:18,220
If not, we would only be

2919
01:35:18,220 --> 01:35:20,220
getting $54,000.

2920
01:35:22,426 --> 01:35:23,127
It's my district, my community,

2921
01:35:23,127 --> 01:35:23,828
very underserved community and

2922
01:35:23,828 --> 01:35:27,428
I will always fight tooth and

2923
01:35:28,299 --> 01:35:28,766
nail to make sure that we get

2924
01:35:28,766 --> 01:35:29,767
our fair share.

2925
01:35:29,767 --> 01:35:33,170
So I hope to see if I I'll

2926
01:35:33,170 --> 01:35:33,938
finish up next year as a member

2927
01:35:33,938 --> 01:35:37,375
of the public I hope to see

2928
01:35:37,375 --> 01:35:38,750
the opportunity funds being

2929
01:35:38,750 --> 01:35:41,750
dispersed across all very much

2930
01:35:42,480 --> 01:35:43,114
needed communities evenly and

2931
01:35:43,114 --> 01:35:45,114
proportionately as well

2932
01:35:47,718 --> 01:35:48,786
including Linda Vista.

2933
01:35:48,786 --> 01:35:52,656
I will out of that one So thank

2934
01:35:52,656 --> 01:35:53,257
you all right.

2935
01:35:53,257 --> 01:35:53,591
Thank you, Councilmember

2936
01:35:53,591 --> 01:35:54,291
Moreno.

2937
01:35:54,291 --> 01:35:57,795
So we have a motion as amended

2938
01:35:57,795 --> 01:35:58,196
and we'll get that up on

2939
01:35:58,196 --> 01:35:58,996
the screen.

2940
01:35:58,996 --> 01:36:01,899
>> I don't maybe hard copies We

2941
01:36:01,899 --> 01:36:02,599
didn't get an email so yeah

2942
01:36:02,599 --> 01:36:03,301
we'll get through All council

2943
01:36:03,301 --> 01:36:06,301
members know what the amended

2944
01:36:07,710 --> 01:36:08,390
motion is.

2945
01:36:08,390 --> 01:36:08,638
>> So with that we'll go to

2946
01:36:08,638 --> 01:36:10,638
Council Member Campbell.

2947
01:36:10,975 --> 01:36:11,641
The Chair Thank you so much.

2948
01:36:11,641 --> 01:36:14,410
Thank you so much.

2949
01:36:14,946 --> 01:36:15,579
Council PRESIDENT There's

2950
01:36:15,579 --> 01:36:17,579
34,000 for the scoreboard.

2951
01:36:19,483 --> 01:36:23,830
Is that part of the 12,500 each

2952
01:36:23,870 --> 01:36:24,550
for the eight rec center areas

2953
01:36:24,550 --> 01:36:26,991
in District eight or is that an

2954
01:36:26,991 --> 01:36:28,991
additional funding from

2955
01:36:32,162 --> 01:36:32,834
somewhere else?

2956
01:36:32,834 --> 01:36:33,631
Thank you for the question.

2957
01:36:33,631 --> 01:36:36,834
I do want to clarify since you

2958
01:36:36,834 --> 01:36:37,568
made the motion that as part of

2959
01:36:37,568 --> 01:36:38,336
the budget revision that we did

2960
01:36:38,336 --> 01:36:41,336
for Montgomery Waller we did

2961
01:36:41,906 --> 01:36:42,640
incorporate the repairs to

2962
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:43,240
the scoreboard as part of their

2963
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:45,777
budget So it has already

2964
01:36:45,777 --> 01:36:46,478
included utilize in their

2965
01:36:46,478 --> 01:36:47,145
recreation center fund budgets

2966
01:36:47,145 --> 01:36:50,745
just in case that helps with

2967
01:36:51,490 --> 01:36:53,490
your amendment.

2968
01:36:54,519 --> 01:36:55,220
But the 34,000 is separate than

2969
01:36:55,220 --> 01:36:55,954
the 12,500 that we originally

2970
01:36:55,954 --> 01:36:59,554
recommended for each of the rec

2971
01:36:59,791 --> 01:37:00,391
centers and Council District

2972
01:37:00,391 --> 01:37:02,791
eight That is incorrect.

2973
01:37:04,496 --> 01:37:05,162
Councilmember Campbell our

2974
01:37:05,162 --> 01:37:05,797
colleague Shani Lowe Rivera

2975
01:37:05,797 --> 01:37:08,197
discovered that we could

2976
01:37:08,333 --> 01:37:10,333
potentially put $100,000 of

2977
01:37:11,369 --> 01:37:12,360
surf club funding So out of

2978
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,436
those $100,000 the staff is

2979
01:37:15,273 --> 01:37:16,174
proposing to divide up evenly

2980
01:37:16,174 --> 01:37:19,174
into eight council into eight

2981
01:37:19,477 --> 01:37:21,877
Council District eight parking

2982
01:37:22,881 --> 01:37:23,214
Rex Right for a total of about

2983
01:37:23,214 --> 01:37:24,490
12,500.

2984
01:37:24,490 --> 01:37:27,418
What I'm proposing is we take

2985
01:37:27,418 --> 01:37:27,786
that 100,000 we fund the 34,000

2986
01:37:27,786 --> 01:37:29,786
for that.

2987
01:37:31,990 --> 01:37:32,657
So I'm not taking money out of

2988
01:37:32,657 --> 01:37:35,128
anywhere else than what is

2989
01:37:35,128 --> 01:37:38,128
already being proposed Out of

2990
01:37:39,297 --> 01:37:40,310
the 100,000 we take 34 and we

2991
01:37:40,310 --> 01:37:40,665
put it towards the scoreboard

2992
01:37:40,665 --> 01:37:43,650
at Montgomery Waller and

2993
01:37:43,801 --> 01:37:46,801
the remainder which is roughly

2994
01:37:47,772 --> 01:37:48,473
64,000 which equates to about

2995
01:37:48,473 --> 01:37:49,142
8250 divided up to the eight.

2996
01:37:49,142 --> 01:37:51,408
So nothing there's no extra

2997
01:37:51,408 --> 01:37:54,408
money coming out of anywhere.

2998
01:37:56,481 --> 01:37:56,882
It's the 100,000 that clarifies

2999
01:37:56,882 --> 01:37:57,582
it for me.

3000
01:37:57,582 --> 01:37:59,982
Is that your understanding?

3001
01:38:01,620 --> 01:38:02,354
Good afternoon Andy Field Parks

3002
01:38:02,354 --> 01:38:05,157
and Recreation Director Yes, we

3003
01:38:05,157 --> 01:38:05,790
understand we take the first

3004
01:38:05,790 --> 01:38:06,424
portion of 100,000 towards

3005
01:38:06,424 --> 01:38:08,824
the scoreboard then divide

3006
01:38:10,495 --> 01:38:11,960
the remainder across the eight

3007
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:11,496
sites We got you.

3008
01:38:11,496 --> 01:38:11,897
No problem.

3009
01:38:11,897 --> 01:38:12,464
Thank you.

3010
01:38:12,464 --> 01:38:14,864
Okay, Thanks you guys.

3011
01:38:15,167 --> 01:38:15,834
I understand completely and I'm

3012
01:38:15,834 --> 01:38:16,268
happy to second the motion.

3013
01:38:16,268 --> 01:38:18,268
>> All right.

3014
01:38:20,204 --> 01:38:20,906
We have a motion by council

3015
01:38:20,906 --> 01:38:21,506
member Moreno Marina which was

3016
01:38:21,506 --> 01:38:23,906
an amendment amended to

3017
01:38:25,743 --> 01:38:26,345
the staff recommendation and a

3018
01:38:26,345 --> 01:38:26,712
second by Councilmember

3019
01:38:26,712 --> 01:38:27,445
Campbell.

3020
01:38:27,445 --> 01:38:27,845
We'll go next to council member

3021
01:38:27,845 --> 01:38:28,213
Eli Rivera.

3022
01:38:28,213 --> 01:38:30,213
All right.

3023
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:31,717
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

3024
01:38:31,717 --> 01:38:32,451
Vic Sayre for the presentation

3025
01:38:32,451 --> 01:38:32,717
and all that work for Parks and

3026
01:38:32,717 --> 01:38:34,717
Rec.

3027
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:36,120
I appreciate the work that

3028
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,120
Councilmember Moreno did

3029
01:38:39,558 --> 01:38:40,225
between last evening and this

3030
01:38:40,225 --> 01:38:40,927
meeting in partnership with

3031
01:38:40,927 --> 01:38:44,527
Parks and Rec and the Mayor's

3032
01:38:44,796 --> 01:38:45,970
office to get to where we are

3033
01:38:45,970 --> 01:38:45,864
today.

3034
01:38:45,864 --> 01:38:49,464
I think this is an important

3035
01:38:49,735 --> 01:38:50,469
conversation about the way that

3036
01:38:50,469 --> 01:38:51,203
the Opportunity Fund is working

3037
01:38:51,203 --> 01:38:54,439
in practice Now the idea behind

3038
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:55,173
it is incredibly important and

3039
01:38:55,173 --> 01:38:58,173
that it starts with recognizing

3040
01:38:58,610 --> 01:38:59,310
that there are rec centers in

3041
01:38:59,310 --> 01:39:00,120
San Diego that have not been

3042
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,412
given the opportunity to

3043
01:39:04,249 --> 01:39:04,917
succeed and that we have a

3044
01:39:04,917 --> 01:39:05,584
system in place that made it

3045
01:39:05,584 --> 01:39:08,454
more and more difficult for

3046
01:39:08,454 --> 01:39:09,288
them to ever catch up.

3047
01:39:09,288 --> 01:39:12,288
It's that that is reminiscent

3048
01:39:14,293 --> 01:39:15,159
of the way many things work in

3049
01:39:15,159 --> 01:39:18,597
our city and opportunity And i

3050
01:39:18,597 --> 01:39:19,364
think is it is a really smart

3051
01:39:19,364 --> 01:39:22,964
idea And now it's about making

3052
01:39:22,968 --> 01:39:23,702
sure that the idea aligns with

3053
01:39:23,702 --> 01:39:27,639
the vision that we have for our

3054
01:39:27,639 --> 01:39:28,273
our rec centers and the goals

3055
01:39:28,273 --> 01:39:30,673
of this specific program.

3056
01:39:32,911 --> 01:39:37,111
So if I really do believe that

3057
01:39:37,716 --> 01:39:38,384
if we properly frame

3058
01:39:38,384 --> 01:39:39,180
the opportunity fund we can

3059
01:39:39,180 --> 01:39:39,818
figure out the ways to to

3060
01:39:39,818 --> 01:39:42,922
modify it in a way that

3061
01:39:42,922 --> 01:39:43,689
achieves those goals.

3062
01:39:43,689 --> 01:39:44,390
There's going to need to be

3063
01:39:44,390 --> 01:39:46,790
some rightsizing and some

3064
01:39:47,626 --> 01:39:48,294
improvements, some recognition

3065
01:39:48,294 --> 01:39:48,894
that the way that things are

3066
01:39:48,894 --> 01:39:50,894
being operationalized on

3067
01:39:51,997 --> 01:39:54,997
the ground impacts ability for

3068
01:39:55,867 --> 01:40:00,667
this fund to up to to work as

3069
01:40:00,705 --> 01:40:01,473
intended.

3070
01:40:01,473 --> 01:40:02,274
But all of that doesn't mean

3071
01:40:02,274 --> 01:40:05,274
that the opportunity in itself

3072
01:40:05,510 --> 01:40:06,244
it isn't important.

3073
01:40:06,244 --> 01:40:06,845
I think it's important for

3074
01:40:06,845 --> 01:40:07,513
members of the public to

3075
01:40:07,513 --> 01:40:10,649
recognize I also did want to

3076
01:40:10,649 --> 01:40:11,283
just make note that

3077
01:40:11,283 --> 01:40:13,683
Councilmember Foster is on

3078
01:40:15,487 --> 01:40:16,454
official business right now.

3079
01:40:16,454 --> 01:40:19,124
He is not shy about ensuring

3080
01:40:19,124 --> 01:40:22,124
that District four gets its

3081
01:40:23,629 --> 01:40:24,329
fair share and was an important

3082
01:40:24,329 --> 01:40:26,999
part of the conversation to

3083
01:40:26,999 --> 01:40:27,499
ensure that District four

3084
01:40:27,499 --> 01:40:28,200
wasn't left out of

3085
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,600
the conversation as this

3086
01:40:32,371 --> 01:40:33,720
opportunity fund as

3087
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:33,739
the decisions were being made

3088
01:40:33,739 --> 01:40:37,142
and that they didn't get any

3089
01:40:37,142 --> 01:40:37,810
less than what they were

3090
01:40:37,810 --> 01:40:38,510
deserving of just because we

3091
01:40:38,510 --> 01:40:39,344
heard some some comments and I

3092
01:40:39,344 --> 01:40:41,413
want to make sure that was on

3093
01:40:41,413 --> 01:40:42,180
the record as well.

3094
01:40:42,180 --> 01:40:46,352
The last thing I wanted to say

3095
01:40:46,352 --> 01:40:47,219
is that I think the $100,000

3096
01:40:47,219 --> 01:40:47,919
that we were able to to deploy

3097
01:40:47,919 --> 01:40:50,919
here to address some of

3098
01:40:51,423 --> 01:40:52,124
Councilmember Moreno's concerns

3099
01:40:52,124 --> 01:40:55,724
and the direct result of this

3100
01:40:56,362 --> 01:40:57,960
this council demanding more and

3101
01:40:57,960 --> 01:40:57,762
demanding better from those who

3102
01:40:57,762 --> 01:41:00,766
have the ability to pay more

3103
01:41:00,766 --> 01:41:01,534
and treat the city better.

3104
01:41:01,534 --> 01:41:05,134
It's an example of us leaning

3105
01:41:05,504 --> 01:41:06,172
into that and then deploying

3106
01:41:06,172 --> 01:41:06,805
that additional revenue in a

3107
01:41:06,805 --> 01:41:10,760
way that serves a part of

3108
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:10,743
the city that's been the most

3109
01:41:10,743 --> 01:41:13,743
left behind over the years.

3110
01:41:15,848 --> 01:41:16,282
And you know in this case it's

3111
01:41:16,282 --> 01:41:17,490
just $100,000.

3112
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:20,490
So not transformational from a

3113
01:41:20,253 --> 01:41:20,919
city budget perspective but it

3114
01:41:20,919 --> 01:41:21,588
also demonstrates that every

3115
01:41:21,588 --> 01:41:25,188
single dollar that we get in

3116
01:41:25,524 --> 01:41:26,259
that sort of way matters that

3117
01:41:26,259 --> 01:41:26,959
the $34,000 that'll be deployed

3118
01:41:26,959 --> 01:41:30,559
for the scoreboard is going to

3119
01:41:30,596 --> 01:41:31,297
make a margin.

3120
01:41:31,297 --> 01:41:31,963
A very big difference for

3121
01:41:31,963 --> 01:41:34,963
the families who are at

3122
01:41:36,135 --> 01:41:36,669
Montgomery Waller and we can't

3123
01:41:36,669 --> 01:41:37,437
lose sight of that.

3124
01:41:37,437 --> 01:41:41,370
That's just my way of saying

3125
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:41,708
that when we are entering into

3126
01:41:41,708 --> 01:41:44,108
negotiations with any party

3127
01:41:46,244 --> 01:41:46,980
with the city we need to

3128
01:41:46,980 --> 01:41:50,580
squeeze as much out as possible

3129
01:41:50,917 --> 01:41:51,618
because on the other end of

3130
01:41:51,618 --> 01:41:52,318
that equation are families who

3131
01:41:52,318 --> 01:41:55,918
will benefit from that And in

3132
01:41:56,990 --> 01:41:57,690
this case it's $100,000 It'll

3133
01:41:57,690 --> 01:41:58,324
feed into the opportunity fund

3134
01:41:58,324 --> 01:41:59,250
and those hundred thousand

3135
01:41:59,250 --> 01:41:59,993
dollars are being deployed to

3136
01:41:59,993 --> 01:42:00,760
benefit the residents of

3137
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,760
District eight And in other

3138
01:42:05,231 --> 01:42:05,932
circumstances there are similar

3139
01:42:05,932 --> 01:42:06,499
positive outcomes that can be

3140
01:42:06,499 --> 01:42:08,899
derived from us simply

3141
01:42:10,937 --> 01:42:11,603
demanding more when we are in

3142
01:42:11,603 --> 01:42:13,603
negotiations especially with

3143
01:42:16,441 --> 01:42:17,143
very wealthy entities that are

3144
01:42:17,143 --> 01:42:20,743
making a lot of money from

3145
01:42:21,481 --> 01:42:22,182
their from from the agreements

3146
01:42:22,182 --> 01:42:22,949
that they have from the city.

3147
01:42:22,949 --> 01:42:23,817
So I'm glad that this is being

3148
01:42:23,817 --> 01:42:27,530
this is being able to be

3149
01:42:27,530 --> 01:42:27,754
deployed in this way But we're

3150
01:42:27,754 --> 01:42:28,321
in a better place than we were

3151
01:42:28,321 --> 01:42:29,220
a couple of weeks ago.

3152
01:42:29,220 --> 01:42:32,192
I appreciate the work that was

3153
01:42:32,192 --> 01:42:32,725
done to get to this place and

3154
01:42:32,725 --> 01:42:33,460
look forward to more

3155
01:42:33,460 --> 01:42:36,460
opportunities to make sure that

3156
01:42:37,363 --> 01:42:38,310
we're that we're doing right by

3157
01:42:38,310 --> 01:42:41,310
residents who were not done

3158
01:42:42,502 --> 01:42:43,236
right by in the past.

3159
01:42:43,236 --> 01:42:43,602
>> And that will conclude my

3160
01:42:43,602 --> 01:42:44,270
comments.

3161
01:42:44,270 --> 01:42:44,638
Council PRESIDENT Thank you.

3162
01:42:44,638 --> 01:42:46,638
All right.

3163
01:42:48,575 --> 01:42:49,241
Thank you, Councilmember Rivera

3164
01:42:49,241 --> 01:42:50,100
I'll just out of course be

3165
01:42:50,100 --> 01:42:53,100
supportive of this and I

3166
01:42:53,346 --> 01:42:54,140
appreciate Park and Rec in

3167
01:42:54,140 --> 01:42:56,414
everyone who pivoted after

3168
01:42:58,451 --> 01:42:58,918
the input from the first

3169
01:42:58,918 --> 01:43:00,918
meeting of this.

3170
01:43:03,923 --> 01:43:04,658
You did an awful lot of work on

3171
01:43:04,658 --> 01:43:05,158
that and have reevaluated a lot

3172
01:43:05,158 --> 01:43:07,158
of your processes.

3173
01:43:08,995 --> 01:43:09,762
There's more work to be done as

3174
01:43:09,762 --> 01:43:10,564
you gain this And what I want

3175
01:43:10,564 --> 01:43:13,867
to focus on something that I

3176
01:43:13,867 --> 01:43:14,567
think Councilmember Foster

3177
01:43:14,567 --> 01:43:17,567
pointed out about having this

3178
01:43:19,739 --> 01:43:20,440
information not as a separate

3179
01:43:20,440 --> 01:43:21,141
item after the budget is

3180
01:43:21,141 --> 01:43:21,808
already approved but part and

3181
01:43:21,808 --> 01:43:24,808
parcel of the budget because

3182
01:43:26,546 --> 01:43:27,180
today we have very little room.

3183
01:43:27,180 --> 01:43:27,914
The opportunity fund is x

3184
01:43:27,914 --> 01:43:28,749
dollars and the question is how

3185
01:43:28,749 --> 01:43:32,652
are you going to divvy up those

3186
01:43:32,652 --> 01:43:33,286
x dollars if count if

3187
01:43:33,286 --> 01:43:35,286
Councilmember El Overhead

3188
01:43:36,890 --> 01:43:36,856
secured that hundred thousand

3189
01:43:36,856 --> 01:43:37,424
it would have been a much

3190
01:43:37,424 --> 01:43:37,958
different very painful

3191
01:43:37,958 --> 01:43:39,958
conversation today.

3192
01:43:41,461 --> 01:43:42,229
So having that information

3193
01:43:42,229 --> 01:43:43,970
about even if it's only draft

3194
01:43:43,970 --> 01:43:47,297
in terms of the rec center fund

3195
01:43:48,350 --> 01:43:48,635
the opportunity fund during

3196
01:43:48,635 --> 01:43:49,303
the budget conversations

3197
01:43:49,303 --> 01:43:52,303
because a few dollars every

3198
01:43:53,507 --> 01:43:54,241
dollar is painful that we don't

3199
01:43:54,241 --> 01:43:54,907
give to Parks and Rec given how

3200
01:43:54,907 --> 01:43:55,841
much you have to do and how

3201
01:43:55,841 --> 01:43:59,790
much is on your plate but a few

3202
01:43:59,790 --> 01:43:59,780
dollars taken from that

3203
01:43:59,780 --> 01:44:00,380
operating budget for dedicated

3204
01:44:00,380 --> 01:44:02,780
funds for individual rec

3205
01:44:04,118 --> 01:44:04,818
centers and under resourced

3206
01:44:04,818 --> 01:44:05,485
communities could have made a

3207
01:44:05,485 --> 01:44:06,153
heck of a lot of difference.

3208
01:44:06,153 --> 01:44:09,753
But we didn't know we didn't

3209
01:44:10,390 --> 01:44:10,657
have those tools available to

3210
01:44:10,657 --> 01:44:11,458
us.

3211
01:44:11,458 --> 01:44:15,620
So one more thing to add to

3212
01:44:15,620 --> 01:44:15,761
your list of how we do f y 28

3213
01:44:15,761 --> 01:44:16,330
differently and maybe have you

3214
01:44:16,330 --> 01:44:18,730
at least give us

3215
01:44:19,833 --> 01:44:20,467
the opportunity or council

3216
01:44:20,467 --> 01:44:21,168
the opportunity that more

3217
01:44:21,168 --> 01:44:24,168
flexibility and weigh the pros

3218
01:44:26,606 --> 01:44:27,207
and cons to benefits and

3219
01:44:27,207 --> 01:44:27,808
the cost of any of those

3220
01:44:27,808 --> 01:44:29,808
decisions going forward.

3221
01:44:30,978 --> 01:44:31,277
So thank you for your good work

3222
01:44:31,277 --> 01:44:32,440
.

3223
01:44:32,440 --> 01:44:33,130
Thank you for that And again

3224
01:44:33,130 --> 01:44:37,213
I'll throw in a to rec centers

3225
01:44:38,180 --> 01:44:38,719
rec councils in district one

3226
01:44:38,719 --> 01:44:39,319
through in money towards that

3227
01:44:39,319 --> 01:44:41,319
opportunity fund beyond

3228
01:44:44,191 --> 01:44:44,892
the regular process and oh that

3229
01:44:44,892 --> 01:44:47,892
you created the opportunity to

3230
01:44:48,395 --> 01:44:49,196
find out of scratch and maybe

3231
01:44:49,196 --> 01:44:49,863
this is a good chance to kind

3232
01:44:49,863 --> 01:44:52,863
of revisit the thinking that

3233
01:44:54,868 --> 01:44:55,769
went into the opportunity funds

3234
01:44:55,769 --> 01:44:56,236
now that we've got a few years

3235
01:44:56,236 --> 01:44:56,804
under our belt.

3236
01:44:56,804 --> 01:44:59,204
So anyway, thank you.

3237
01:45:00,708 --> 01:45:01,375
Thank you to COUNCILMAN Moreno

3238
01:45:01,375 --> 01:45:02,760
and everybody who weighed in

3239
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,676
last time and weighed in this

3240
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:07,381
afternoon and so that we do

3241

3471
01:51:10,412 --> 01:51:11,130

the Housing authority of

3473
01:51:14,417 --> 01:51:15,117

01:51:27,363 --> 01:51:27,797
that concludes our

3480
01:51:27,797 --> 01:51:28,164
presentation.

3481
01:51:28,164 --> 01:51:28,798
All right.

3482
01:51:28,798 --> 01:51:29,532
Thank you for the work and

3483

Thank you.

3487
01:51:34,237 --> 01:51:34,837
Council PRESIDENT If I can have

3488
01:51:34,837 --> 01:51:35,571
Paul Krueger please come

3489
01:51:35,571 --> 01:51:38,571
forward after that as allegedly

3490
01:51:40,142 --> 01:51:40,943
Adrienne and then Anthony Ross

3491
01:51:40,943 --> 01:51:41,611
you can please come forward to

3492
01:51:41,611 --> 01:51:41,978
the other reserved seats at

3493
01:51:41,978 --> 01:51:42,678
the front.

3494
01:51:42,678 --> 01:51:45,180
Anthony That would be greatly

3495
01:51:45,180 --> 01:51:45,882
appreciated as well as Agenda

3496
01:51:45,882 --> 01:51:46,382
You will have two minutes.

3497
01:51:46,382 --> 01:51:47,550
>> Please proceed.

3498
01:51:47,550 --> 01:51:51,721
I put in a slip for this and a

3499
01:51:51,721 --> 01:51:52,388
slip for the next one that i

3500
01:51:52,388 --> 01:51:55,388
would like almost the same.

3501
01:51:56,558 --> 01:51:57,259
Would it be easier if I just

3502
01:51:57,259 --> 01:51:57,927
made one presentation for four

3503
01:51:57,927 --> 01:51:58,561
minutes and not on the next?

3504
01:51:58,561 --> 01:52:01,561
The items are being taken

3505
01:52:02,265 --> 01:52:02,832
separately so then your

3506
01:52:02,832 --> 01:52:03,199
comments on Disappear.

3507
01:52:03,199 --> 01:52:03,565
Thank you.

3508
01:52:03,565 --> 01:52:04,200
Thank you.

3509
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,800
I just wanted to call your

3510
01:52:07,969 --> 01:52:08,804
attention to how significant

3511
01:52:08,804 --> 01:52:09,438
this is in terms of unintended

3512
01:52:09,438 --> 01:52:11,438
consequences of programs.

3513
01:52:13,509 --> 01:52:14,143
The city council has approved

3514
01:52:14,143 --> 01:52:14,644
and refused to modify over

3515
01:52:14,644 --> 01:52:16,644
years of concern.

3516
01:52:19,282 --> 01:52:19,983
The bonus idea program

3517
01:52:19,983 --> 01:52:22,383
specifically removed from our

3518
01:52:25,922 --> 01:52:26,627
housing stock Affordable

3519
01:52:26,627 --> 01:52:26,923
starter housing at 750,000 or

3520
01:52:26,923 --> 01:52:28,923
more.

3521
01:52:31,628 --> 01:52:32,262
These homes are considered very

3522
01:52:32,262 --> 01:52:32,962
affordable and they're in

3523
01:52:32,962 --> 01:52:33,363
neighborhoods where housing is

3524
01:52:33,363 --> 01:52:35,363
affordable.

3525
01:52:38,134 --> 01:52:38,868
This policy allowed developers

3526
01:52:38,868 --> 01:52:42,468
to turn these homes into rental

3527
01:52:43,706 --> 01:52:44,374
units and build multiple units

3528
01:52:44,374 --> 01:52:45,410
in the backyards where these

3529
01:52:45,410 --> 01:52:47,441
bonus adu units affordable.

3530
01:52:49,246 --> 01:52:49,879
No they were not.

3531
01:52:49,879 --> 01:52:50,613
For every market rate unit

3532
01:52:50,613 --> 01:52:53,613
the developer got they were

3533
01:52:55,418 --> 01:52:59,180
allowed or required to build a

3534
01:53:01,624 --> 01:53:02,324
quote unquote affordable unit.

3535
01:53:02,324 --> 01:53:04,724
Those affordable units include

3536
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:07,998
moderate rate housing that

3537
01:53:07,998 --> 01:53:08,698
rents for up to people who make

3538
01:53:08,698 --> 01:53:11,698
more than 110% of the average

3539
01:53:13,803 --> 01:53:14,538
median income for five years.

3540
01:53:14,538 --> 01:53:15,238
We urge this council to revisit

3541
01:53:15,238 --> 01:53:17,638
these rules and require

3542
01:53:20,510 --> 01:53:21,244
developers to build truly low

3543
01:53:21,244 --> 01:53:21,711
income housing and this council

3544
01:53:21,711 --> 01:53:24,111
did not do that.

3545
01:53:26,116 --> 01:53:26,849
The other issue here is what

3546
01:53:26,849 --> 01:53:29,849
could lead communities has done

3547
01:53:32,355 --> 01:53:33,560
to existing apartment buildings

3548
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,560
that because they're older or

3549
01:53:37,961 --> 01:53:38,595
more affordable those those

3550
01:53:38,595 --> 01:53:41,595
units examples in utc and

3551
01:53:43,165 --> 01:53:44,134
Golden Hill were demolished to

3552
01:53:44,134 --> 01:53:47,134
make room for developments that

3553
01:53:48,872 --> 01:53:49,473
charge $2,700 for a one bedroom

3554
01:53:49,473 --> 01:53:51,873
unit with quote unquote

3555
01:53:54,811 --> 01:53:55,244
affordable units costing more

3556
01:53:55,244 --> 01:53:56,120
than $2,500.

3557
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:59,612
We wouldn't be here if you

3558
01:54:02,180 --> 01:54:02,652
would Please take time to

3559
01:54:02,652 --> 01:54:03,386
review the consequences of

3560
01:54:03,386 --> 01:54:03,787
these programs They are pointed

3561
01:54:03,787 --> 01:54:05,210
out to you.

3562
01:54:05,210 --> 01:54:05,421
>> Thank you.

3563
01:54:05,421 --> 01:54:07,421
Thank you.

3564
01:54:11,995 --> 01:54:12,429
Allegedly under course they

3565
01:54:12,429 --> 01:54:14,429
didn't do it.

3566
01:54:17,834 --> 01:54:18,334
They need to squeeze out as

3567
01:54:18,334 --> 01:54:18,635
much as possible.

3568
01:54:18,635 --> 01:54:19,269
Right.

3569
01:54:19,269 --> 01:54:19,969
Sean, it's so interesting

3570
01:54:19,969 --> 01:54:23,569
because you guys sit here and

3571
01:54:23,674 --> 01:54:24,374
you do bring forward items like

3572
01:54:24,374 --> 01:54:25,800
this like you're really going

3573
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:25,676
to preserve affordability.

3574
01:54:25,676 --> 01:54:28,760
You can't preserve something

3575
01:54:29,746 --> 01:54:30,613
that doesn't exist.

3576
01:54:30,613 --> 01:54:31,348
So you guys sit here and act

3577
01:54:31,348 --> 01:54:31,682
like we're providing affordable

3578
01:54:31,682 --> 01:54:33,682
housing.

3579
01:54:35,486 --> 01:54:36,153
Is it I mean is it really

3580
01:54:36,153 --> 01:54:36,887
affordable even if you need

3581
01:54:36,887 --> 01:54:37,554
some kind of voucher, does that

3582
01:54:37,554 --> 01:54:39,954
mean it's still affordable?

3583
01:54:41,425 --> 01:54:42,159
I mean would that mean it's not

3584
01:54:42,159 --> 01:54:42,525
that you make more money to go

3585
01:54:42,525 --> 01:54:43,227
in there?

3586
01:54:43,227 --> 01:54:47,427
I mean it's like the way you

3587
01:54:47,764 --> 01:54:48,532
guys pull wool over people's

3588
01:54:48,532 --> 01:54:49,233
eyes to make it seem like what

3589
01:54:49,233 --> 01:54:49,533
you're doing is beneficial to

3590
01:54:49,533 --> 01:54:51,533
them.

3591
01:54:53,303 --> 01:54:53,770
It's so sad because it's like

3592
01:54:53,770 --> 01:54:54,471
this $5 million.

3593
01:54:54,471 --> 01:54:55,139
>> I mean really what's going

3594
01:54:55,139 --> 01:54:58,175
to do your time on acquiring

3595
01:54:58,175 --> 01:54:58,842
and preserving like I mean you

3596
01:54:58,842 --> 01:54:59,276
guys sit up there with a

3597
01:54:59,276 --> 01:54:59,977
straight face.

3598
01:54:59,977 --> 01:55:02,977
>> It's so sad because people

3599
01:55:04,581 --> 01:55:05,482
are suffering.

3600
01:55:05,482 --> 01:55:06,183
You sit up on your dais and you

3601
01:55:06,183 --> 01:55:09,783
guys act like you know what

3602
01:55:10,254 --> 01:55:10,921
that's like to try and figure

3603
01:55:10,921 --> 01:55:11,622
out how you're going to pay

3604
01:55:11,622 --> 01:55:12,322
your rent and what's actually

3605
01:55:12,322 --> 01:55:15,322
affordable Like when you have

3606
01:55:16,994 --> 01:55:17,661
people that are making hundreds

3607
01:55:17,661 --> 01:55:18,328
of thousands of dollars and

3608
01:55:18,328 --> 01:55:20,328
talking about affordability

3609
01:55:22,399 --> 01:55:23,133
until you guys get paid 20

3610
01:55:23,133 --> 01:55:23,767
bucks an hour and you're trying

3611
01:55:23,767 --> 01:55:24,470
to make ends meet, I don't

3612
01:55:24,470 --> 01:55:28,404
think that you have a right to

3613
01:55:28,404 --> 01:55:29,106
talk about that because you

3614
01:55:29,106 --> 01:55:29,740
don't have that kind of lived

3615
01:55:29,740 --> 01:55:30,407
experience where you would

3616
01:55:30,407 --> 01:55:33,407
understand what it's like to

3617
01:55:35,412 --> 01:55:36,800
stretch a dollar Instead you

3618
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:36,780
guys come out to the people

3619
01:55:36,780 --> 01:55:37,348
time and talk know Sean Do you

3620
01:55:37,348 --> 01:55:37,948
know what that's like?

3621
01:55:37,948 --> 01:55:40,348
Have you been homeless?

3622
01:55:40,584 --> 01:55:40,885
You have for how long?

3623
01:55:40,885 --> 01:55:42,885
Right?

3624
01:55:46,423 --> 01:55:47,258
And look at you now right?

3625
01:55:47,258 --> 01:55:47,858
Do you care about the people

3626
01:55:47,858 --> 01:55:48,225
you walk over at night?

3627
01:55:48,225 --> 01:55:49,930
You don't.

3628
01:55:49,930 --> 01:55:52,763
So I mean you want to sit here

3629
01:55:52,763 --> 01:55:53,129
and act like you've been

3630
01:55:53,129 --> 01:55:53,831
homeless?

3631
01:55:53,831 --> 01:55:54,398
I've been homeless too, but I

3632
01:55:54,398 --> 01:55:54,798
actually give a about

3633
01:55:54,798 --> 01:55:55,533
the people.

3634
01:55:55,533 --> 01:55:58,335
I don't just walk over them and

3635
01:55:58,335 --> 01:55:58,669
like Oh my gosh you're such an

3636
01:55:58,669 --> 01:55:59,369
eyesore.

3637
01:55:59,369 --> 01:55:59,937
Let's move you down the road.

3638
01:55:59,937 --> 01:56:02,337
That's what's so sad.

3639
01:56:04,408 --> 01:56:05,242
Yes, that's what you guys do.

3640
01:56:05,242 --> 01:56:08,842
You don't go in and personally

3641
01:56:09,713 --> 01:56:10,514
like encounter these people but

3642
01:56:10,514 --> 01:56:11,282
yet you sit up here and decide

3643
01:56:11,282 --> 01:56:14,882
what they can and what they

3644
01:56:16,187 --> 01:56:16,553
can't afford and that is so

3645
01:56:16,553 --> 01:56:18,553
egregious.

3646
01:56:20,624 --> 01:56:21,325
>> Anthony please confirm.

3647
01:56:21,325 --> 01:56:21,659
Well good afternoon City

3648
01:56:21,659 --> 01:56:23,659
Council.

3649
01:56:27,465 --> 01:56:28,199
I thought that this I mean it

3650
01:56:28,199 --> 01:56:32,399
appeared to be cut and dry to

3651
01:56:33,104 --> 01:56:33,838
me but after hearing some of

3652
01:56:33,838 --> 01:56:34,539
the testimonies, some of

3653
01:56:34,539 --> 01:56:35,390
the members of the public I'm

3654
01:56:35,390 --> 01:56:37,390
not exactly sure.

3655
01:56:38,876 --> 01:56:39,644
And I think that with regard to

3656
01:56:39,644 --> 01:56:40,210
what one of the gentlemen said

3657
01:56:40,210 --> 01:56:40,912
earlier with regard to

3658
01:56:40,912 --> 01:56:43,312
the unintended consequences, I

3659
01:56:44,415 --> 01:56:44,715
think that we should look into

3660
01:56:44,715 --> 01:56:45,483
that.

3661
01:56:45,483 --> 01:56:49,683
I think that I'm in support of

3662
01:56:50,321 --> 01:56:51,870
this item on the contingency

3663
01:56:51,870 --> 01:56:51,756
that we look into some of

3664
01:56:51,756 --> 01:56:53,756
the unintended consequences

3665
01:56:54,910 --> 01:56:54,625
that could happen as a result

3666
01:56:54,625 --> 01:56:56,625
of this proposal.

3667
01:57:01,833 --> 01:57:02,700
Thank you.

3668
01:57:02,700 --> 01:57:03,367
Sorry I'm going to time are

3669
01:57:03,367 --> 01:57:04,102
going to those participating

3670
01:57:04,102 --> 01:57:04,736
remotely starting with Francine

3671
01:57:04,736 --> 01:57:07,736
Maxwell If you can please

3672
01:57:07,739 --> 01:57:08,439
unmute Francine that's all

3673
01:57:08,439 --> 01:57:11,439
southeastern San Diego any of

3674
01:57:12,777 --> 01:57:13,578
these required paragraph two in

3675
01:57:13,578 --> 01:57:16,578
our dash 2021 dash 22 to be

3676
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:18,515
used solely to fund recreation

3677
01:57:18,515 --> 01:57:19,150
amenities, active

3678
01:57:19,150 --> 01:57:19,751
transportation and transit

3679
01:57:19,751 --> 01:57:21,751
infrastructure projects.

3680
01:57:23,788 --> 01:57:26,788
So 100% no amenities were or

3681
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:29,560
ever will be constructed with

3682
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:30,428
any benefit.

3683
01:57:30,428 --> 01:57:31,128
Any money was not spent in any

3684
01:57:31,128 --> 01:57:33,528
amenity in communities of

3685
01:57:35,466 --> 01:57:36,234
concern or any infrastructure.

3686
01:57:36,234 --> 01:57:37,350
100% of money is now being

3687
01:57:37,350 --> 01:57:40,350
proposed to be transferred into

3688
01:57:41,104 --> 01:57:41,739
preserving the concentration of

3689
01:57:41,739 --> 01:57:42,306
poverty in communities of

3690
01:57:42,306 --> 01:57:42,774
concern without needed

3691
01:57:42,774 --> 01:57:44,774
infrastructure.

3692
01:57:47,512 --> 01:57:48,179
I could have sworn that my

3693
01:57:48,179 --> 01:57:48,880
neighbors won their lawsuit

3694
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:52,480
against the city of San Diego

3695
01:57:52,684 --> 01:57:53,384
in reference to

3696
01:57:53,384 --> 01:57:55,784
the concentration of poverty.

3697
01:57:57,989 --> 01:57:58,689
So again we're going to have to

3698
01:57:58,689 --> 01:57:59,323
revisit this because it seems

3699
01:57:59,323 --> 01:58:01,723
like people have forgotten

3700
01:58:05,290 --> 01:58:05,664
about the win that my neighbors

3701
01:58:05,664 --> 01:58:06,330
received building projects

3702
01:58:06,330 --> 01:58:08,730
without amenities then using

3703
01:58:10,468 --> 01:58:11,350
the money meant to improve

3704
01:58:11,350 --> 01:58:11,770
the lives of the most

3705
01:58:11,770 --> 01:58:14,170
vulnerable but instead ensuring

3706
01:58:17,700 --> 01:58:17,776
they are without amenities.

3707
01:58:17,776 --> 01:58:18,476
I think that there's something

3708
01:58:18,476 --> 01:58:21,476
wrong unless I have just

3709
01:58:23,548 --> 01:58:24,215
completely misread this.

3710
01:58:24,215 --> 01:58:24,816
So I look forward to

3711
01:58:24,816 --> 01:58:27,816
the education that I MAY

3712
01:58:29,254 --> 01:58:29,588
receive from the diocese today

3713
01:58:29,588 --> 01:58:31,588
.

3714
01:58:33,625 --> 01:58:34,325
>> And again let's not forget

3715
01:58:34,325 --> 01:58:34,893
about 100% is now being

3716
01:58:34,893 --> 01:58:36,893
transferred preserving

3717
01:58:39,930 --> 01:58:40,632
the concentration of poverty

3718
01:58:40,632 --> 01:58:41,399
because District four is an

3719
01:58:41,399 --> 01:58:44,399
area of concern and their

3720
01:58:46,404 --> 01:58:46,838
neighbors get together and they

3721
01:58:46,838 --> 01:58:47,571
win lawsuits.

3722
01:58:47,571 --> 01:58:47,873
>> Thank you for allowing me to

3723
01:58:47,873 --> 01:58:48,239
speak.

3724
01:58:48,239 --> 01:58:50,239
Thank you.

3725
01:58:51,309 --> 01:58:54,909
Next is 8700 If you can please

3726
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:02,587
unmute a joyful two Oh gosh I

3727
01:59:02,587 --> 01:59:05,587
thought I was preparing for

3728
01:59:07,726 --> 01:59:08,493
this in an unexpected items but

3729
01:59:08,493 --> 01:59:08,994
that's not what I need to whine

3730
01:59:08,994 --> 01:59:11,394
about or even cry.

3731
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:15,700
Thank you Paul Krueger Thank

3732
01:59:15,700 --> 01:59:18,700
you Allegedly Audra Thank you.

3733
01:59:19,938 --> 01:59:20,638
Francine Maxwell They all are

3734
01:59:20,638 --> 01:59:24,238
telling us things You need to

3735
01:59:25,877 --> 01:59:26,678
listen to those statistics

3736
01:59:26,678 --> 01:59:27,445
about what's going to happen to

3737
01:59:27,445 --> 01:59:30,445
you know, these covenants these

3738
01:59:32,717 --> 01:59:33,518
these homes that are a year ago

3739
01:59:33,518 --> 01:59:37,718
we looked at this We have a

3740
01:59:38,624 --> 01:59:39,358
list of these things, these

3741
01:59:39,358 --> 01:59:40,250
restrictive covenant properties

3742
01:59:40,250 --> 01:59:43,250
that really didn't go under.

3743
01:59:44,563 --> 01:59:45,263
I don't think we've really done

3744
01:59:45,263 --> 01:59:45,662
anything dramatically to stop

3745
01:59:45,662 --> 01:59:47,662
that.

3746
01:59:50,636 --> 01:59:51,336
I really don't But I don't have

3747
01:59:51,336 --> 01:59:54,936
the time So I'm just worried.

3748
01:59:57,175 --> 01:59:57,609
I was very I love the word

3749
01:59:57,609 --> 01:59:58,310
preservation.

3750
01:59:58,310 --> 02:00:01,947
You all know that And I really

3751
02:00:01,947 --> 02:00:02,314
was all for this whole new I

3752
02:00:02,314 --> 02:00:03,150
still am.

3753
02:00:03,150 --> 02:00:06,150
But are we missing something?

3754
02:00:08,554 --> 02:00:09,254
I think we are and I don't know

3755
02:00:09,254 --> 02:00:09,788
what it is so please help me

3756
02:00:09,788 --> 02:00:12,188
with that, will you?

3757
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:15,894
So we can do better.

3758
02:00:15,894 --> 02:00:16,861
>> Thank you for listening to.

3759
02:00:16,861 --> 02:00:21,610
Next is John If you can play

3760
02:00:23,368 --> 02:00:23,968
some you Good afternoon City

3761
02:00:23,968 --> 02:00:24,670
council It's interesting

3762
02:00:24,670 --> 02:00:27,670
the direction it's taken It's

3763
02:00:29,742 --> 02:00:30,441
the same direction that I was

3764
02:00:30,441 --> 02:00:31,143
going to go which is the most

3765
02:00:31,143 --> 02:00:33,543
underserved community and most

3766
02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:35,814
struggling is those that are

3767
02:00:35,814 --> 02:00:39,414
living on our streets right now

3768
02:00:41,253 --> 02:00:41,921
And we have decided to close

3769
02:00:41,921 --> 02:00:44,321
the facility that represents

3770
02:00:47,692 --> 02:00:48,394
over half of the bathrooms

3771
02:00:48,394 --> 02:00:49,610
the only place where you can

3772
02:00:49,610 --> 02:00:52,610
wash your personal items and

3773
02:00:53,331 --> 02:00:54,330
get your clothes done and

3774
02:00:54,330 --> 02:00:54,767
the only place where you can

3775
02:00:54,767 --> 02:00:58,838
take a break even a park for

3776
02:00:58,838 --> 02:00:59,705
homeless people to go to.

3777
02:00:59,705 --> 02:01:00,339
So if this funding is for that

3778
02:01:00,339 --> 02:01:03,339
for the purpose of meeting

3779
02:01:05,176 --> 02:01:05,878
the needs of underserved

3780
02:01:05,878 --> 02:01:06,579
communities I suggest we start

3781
02:01:06,579 --> 02:01:10,179
there and then we should go

3782
02:01:11,283 --> 02:01:11,986
over to the lot and talk about

3783
02:01:11,986 --> 02:01:12,650
what's going on there because

3784
02:01:12,650 --> 02:01:13,352
when we envision that we did

3785
02:01:13,352 --> 02:01:16,221
not envision it at the density

3786
02:01:16,221 --> 02:01:16,922
that it currently is operating

3787
02:01:16,922 --> 02:01:17,590
at, we did not envision it

3788
02:01:17,590 --> 02:01:20,590
without any ground cover to

3789
02:01:22,228 --> 02:01:22,761
relieve you of just any point

3790
02:01:22,761 --> 02:01:23,695
or when it rains.

3791
02:01:23,695 --> 02:01:27,933
We do not agree to a place that

3792
02:01:27,933 --> 02:01:28,567
has no shade and no community

3793
02:01:28,567 --> 02:01:30,967
gathering places to relax.

3794
02:01:33,606 --> 02:01:34,572
There is and it is divisible

3795
02:01:34,572 --> 02:01:38,172
and dense beyond what we ever

3796
02:01:38,544 --> 02:01:38,978
imagined were 2 to 300 tents in

3797
02:01:38,978 --> 02:01:40,978
one location.

3798
02:01:42,381 --> 02:01:43,820
We have zero adult shelters

3799
02:01:43,820 --> 02:01:43,883
that are built for purpose or

3800
02:01:43,883 --> 02:01:47,483
for that matter that are in

3801
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:49,488
place for anyone who is a

3802
02:01:49,488 --> 02:01:52,488
single adult On our streets

3803
02:01:53,192 --> 02:01:53,692
right now we've got four

3804
02:01:53,692 --> 02:01:54,327
specialty groups.

3805
02:01:54,327 --> 02:01:54,961
We've got it for families.

3806
02:01:54,961 --> 02:01:55,561
We've got for people with

3807
02:01:55,561 --> 02:01:57,561
disabilities people gay,

3808
02:01:58,231 --> 02:01:59,980
lesbian.

3809
02:01:59,980 --> 02:01:59,732
But if you're a single adult

3810
02:01:59,732 --> 02:02:00,600
you get to live in a tent

3811
02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:03,803
whether it's a group tent on

3812
02:02:03,803 --> 02:02:08,300
asphalt or a tent and then a

3813
02:02:10,420 --> 02:02:10,710
lot So I think we need to

3814
02:02:10,710 --> 02:02:11,410
rethink our priorities here

3815
02:02:11,410 --> 02:02:14,410
because honestly we're kind of

3816
02:02:14,447 --> 02:02:15,314
make it some break up ranch

3817
02:02:15,314 --> 02:02:19,514
look like a good idea and you

3818
02:02:21,154 --> 02:02:21,554
know how I feel about that.

3819
02:02:21,554 --> 02:02:21,954
Thank you.

3820
02:02:21,954 --> 02:02:22,655
Thank you.

3821
02:02:22,655 --> 02:02:22,955
The five minute timer has been

3822
02:02:22,955 --> 02:02:24,955
clear.

3823
02:02:28,494 --> 02:02:28,828
We have two speakers in

3824
02:02:28,828 --> 02:02:29,528
the can.

3825
02:02:29,528 --> 02:02:29,829
No additional speakers will be

3826
02:02:29,829 --> 02:02:30,463
taken.

3827
02:02:30,463 --> 02:02:30,929
That was Blair Beekman and

3828
02:02:30,929 --> 02:02:31,664
Natalie Raasch.

3829
02:02:31,664 --> 02:02:32,365
Gabler if you can please unmute

3830
02:02:32,365 --> 02:02:35,635
I thank you for Beakman Thank

3831
02:02:35,635 --> 02:02:36,336
you Public comment today

3832
02:02:36,336 --> 02:02:39,336
the previous public comment or

3833
02:02:41,407 --> 02:02:42,750
as a lot of words and ideas on

3834
02:02:42,750 --> 02:02:42,775
the concept of the future of

3835
02:02:42,775 --> 02:02:46,312
the New York Day Center and he

3836
02:02:46,312 --> 02:02:47,120
is just the best strongest

3837
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:47,680
voice to really talk about any

3838
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:50,680
possible future for the day

3839
02:02:51,551 --> 02:02:52,285
center.

3840
02:02:52,285 --> 02:02:52,952
I hope his voice is really

3841
02:02:52,952 --> 02:02:55,822
listened to and realize what

3842
02:02:55,822 --> 02:02:56,122
we're losing and giving that

3843
02:02:56,122 --> 02:02:56,823
up.

3844
02:02:56,823 --> 02:02:59,823
I think we understand its

3845
02:03:01,961 --> 02:03:02,695
efficiency in giving it up.

3846
02:03:02,695 --> 02:03:03,529
He's stating the practicalities

3847
02:03:03,529 --> 02:03:07,300
why we need to keep it and work

3848
02:03:07,300 --> 02:03:08,100
on concepts like it If we if it

3849
02:03:08,100 --> 02:03:11,601
is depended where else are we

3850
02:03:11,871 --> 02:03:12,505
going to go All Kruger also

3851
02:03:12,505 --> 02:03:14,505

3852
02:03:16,643 --> 02:03:17,343
comments that was seconded by

02:03:17,343 --> 02:03:18,111
Anthony Thank you very much I

3854
02:03:18,111 --> 02:03:21,111
would like to third that

3855
02:03:21,881 --> 02:03:22,515
concept and and the idea that

3856
02:03:22,515 --> 02:03:24,915
you're hearing good public

3857
02:03:27,554 --> 02:03:28,354
voices on this matter and that

3858
02:03:28,354 --> 02:03:29,122
help and I guess to thank our

3859
02:03:29,122 --> 02:03:32,122
council persons you know I've

3860
02:03:33,226 --> 02:03:33,827
been learning important lessons

3861
02:03:33,827 --> 02:03:34,494
from our council person

3862
02:03:34,494 --> 02:03:37,494
the Carver that I understand

3863
02:03:37,964 --> 02:03:38,698
you guys do care about

3864
02:03:38,698 --> 02:03:39,399
affordable housing at this time

3865
02:03:39,399 --> 02:03:41,799
I'm better understanding that

3866
02:03:43,136 --> 02:03:43,770
what you can be doing towards

3867
02:03:43,770 --> 02:03:46,170
that subject towards truly

3868
02:03:48,174 --> 02:03:48,875
affordable housing and with

3869
02:03:48,875 --> 02:03:49,743
what the groups like path can

3870
02:03:49,743 --> 02:03:52,879
do the work that they do has

3871
02:03:52,879 --> 02:03:53,580
been nothing short of

3872
02:03:53,580 --> 02:03:56,580
miraculous And we really have

3873
02:03:58,451 --> 02:03:59,152
to be I hope those

3874
02:03:59,152 --> 02:03:59,552
conversations become more and

3875
02:03:59,552 --> 02:04:00,186
more clear.

3876
02:04:00,186 --> 02:04:03,723
I mean it's more than just

3877
02:04:03,723 --> 02:04:04,424
shelters that they offer and

3878
02:04:04,424 --> 02:04:08,240
how we build that future is

3879
02:04:08,761 --> 02:04:09,462
important from that how do we

3880
02:04:09,462 --> 02:04:10,197
again talk about the future of

3881
02:04:10,197 --> 02:04:13,197
places like New graduate center

3882
02:04:14,101 --> 02:04:14,801
and services for people who

3883
02:04:14,801 --> 02:04:18,401
really need it And look how

3884
02:04:18,971 --> 02:04:19,706
this funding can be used to for

3885
02:04:19,706 --> 02:04:20,372
a truly affordable end and that

3886
02:04:20,372 --> 02:04:22,772
you guys have conversations

3887
02:04:24,244 --> 02:04:24,845
here on the dsa in those good

3888
02:04:24,845 --> 02:04:25,545
terms and good luck in

3889
02:04:25,545 --> 02:04:28,648
listening to the public to all

3890
02:04:28,648 --> 02:04:29,383
of us who've offered really

3891
02:04:29,383 --> 02:04:29,816
interesting comment here today.

3892
02:04:29,816 --> 02:04:31,816
>> Thank you.

3893
02:04:33,387 --> 02:04:34,354
Thank you, Natalie Rush here

3894
02:04:34,354 --> 02:04:37,954
last speaker please on media Hi

3895
02:04:38,626 --> 02:04:39,393
Natalie Rashi a lot a lot of

3896
02:04:39,393 --> 02:04:42,393
this is kind of confusing

3897
02:04:43,263 --> 02:04:44,640
understanding the language

3898
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:47,640
that's being used as a

3899
02:04:48,769 --> 02:04:49,502
stakeholder elder And I was you

3900
02:04:49,502 --> 02:04:52,502
know, looking at the definition

3901
02:04:52,873 --> 02:04:53,774
I consider myself a stakeholder

3902
02:04:53,774 --> 02:04:54,408
and I don't know that we are

3903
02:04:54,408 --> 02:04:56,408
considered a stakeholder.

3904
02:04:57,744 --> 02:05:01,815
Some of us the voices that we

3905
02:05:01,815 --> 02:05:02,583
have I think that moving

3906
02:05:02,583 --> 02:05:03,283
forward we have to really be

3907
02:05:03,283 --> 02:05:05,683
intentional and conscious of

3908
02:05:07,788 --> 02:05:08,455
what we choose and how we

3909
02:05:08,455 --> 02:05:11,455
choose to build buildings or

3910
02:05:11,992 --> 02:05:12,291
build anything that we're

3911
02:05:12,291 --> 02:05:14,291
doing.

3912
02:05:17,364 --> 02:05:17,998
I was offered a apartment at

3913
02:05:17,998 --> 02:05:20,398
Quattro for City Heights.

3914
02:05:22,369 --> 02:05:23,700
I drove by there that whoever

3915
02:05:23,700 --> 02:05:26,700
designed that that building it

3916
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:27,508
looks like a jail cell.

3917
02:05:27,508 --> 02:05:28,175
The side window would be

3918
02:05:28,175 --> 02:05:31,175
the freeway of the 15 I

3919
02:05:32,646 --> 02:05:33,347
understood in that when we have

3920
02:05:33,347 --> 02:05:36,347
to build affordable housing in

3921
02:05:37,484 --> 02:05:38,251
areas where there's transits

3922
02:05:38,251 --> 02:05:41,288
and such things but I don't

3923
02:05:41,288 --> 02:05:41,989
know of anybody who's looked at

3924
02:05:41,989 --> 02:05:42,656
that building or some of

3925
02:05:42,656 --> 02:05:42,956
the other buildings that are

3926
02:05:42,956 --> 02:05:44,956
built.

3927
02:05:46,827 --> 02:05:47,394
It really stands out as you're

3928
02:05:47,394 --> 02:05:49,394
in affordable housing.

3929
02:05:51,565 --> 02:05:52,365
So if we're creating these I

3930
02:05:52,365 --> 02:05:56,565
don't know it almost puts a tag

3931
02:05:56,970 --> 02:05:57,638
on you again and I don't know

3932
02:05:57,638 --> 02:06:00,638
whose intentions are or what

3933
02:06:00,974 --> 02:06:01,675
they are when they're building

3934
02:06:01,675 --> 02:06:04,675
these places that are supposed

3935
02:06:06,180 --> 02:06:06,613
to include or be inclusive to

3936
02:06:06,613 --> 02:06:08,613
our community.

3937
02:06:11,485 --> 02:06:15,685
And I think that there is there

3938
02:06:15,923 --> 02:06:19,523
is definitely we need to re

3939
02:06:20,194 --> 02:06:20,761
approach how we move forward in

3940
02:06:20,761 --> 02:06:23,761
this new day and age.

3941
02:06:25,399 --> 02:06:25,866
Thank you.

3942
02:06:25,866 --> 02:06:26,500
>> Thank you.

3943
02:06:26,500 --> 02:06:27,680
That does conclude public

3944
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:27,435
comment on this item.

3945
02:06:27,435 --> 02:06:28,200
All right.

3946
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:30,270
Thank you City Clerk.

3947
02:06:30,270 --> 02:06:30,905
With that we'll turn over to

3948
02:06:30,905 --> 02:06:31,571
council members questions,

3949
02:06:31,571 --> 02:06:32,273
comments entertain a motion.

3950
02:06:32,273 --> 02:06:35,476
We'll start with the chair of

3951
02:06:35,476 --> 02:06:36,209
Land Use and Housing Council

3952
02:06:36,209 --> 02:06:39,547
PRESIDENT Pro tem I think I was

3953
02:06:39,547 --> 02:06:40,213
PRESIDENT And I want to start

3954
02:06:40,213 --> 02:06:40,881
off by thanking my colleague

3955
02:06:40,881 --> 02:06:41,482
Councilmember Renaud for her

3956
02:06:41,482 --> 02:06:43,882
years of leadership and

3957
02:06:44,850 --> 02:06:44,785
advocacy as the former chair of

3958
02:06:44,785 --> 02:06:45,319
Planning and Housing Committee

3959
02:06:45,319 --> 02:06:47,319
in bringing forward

3960
02:06:48,522 --> 02:06:49,190
the Preservation Ordinance that

3961
02:06:49,190 --> 02:06:49,690
was passed by this council

3962
02:06:49,690 --> 02:06:51,690
earlier last year.

3963
02:06:53,861 --> 02:06:54,528
This item came before the Land

3964
02:06:54,528 --> 02:06:57,528
Use and Housing Committee in

3965
02:06:58,320 --> 02:06:58,732
the fall and where we are doing

3966
02:06:58,732 --> 02:06:59,400
is taking the next step in

3967
02:06:59,400 --> 02:06:59,967
actually putting together a

3968
02:06:59,967 --> 02:07:02,367
fund that supports our

3969
02:07:03,570 --> 02:07:04,271
affordable housing preservation

3970
02:07:04,271 --> 02:07:07,271
ordinance as we acknowledge at

3971
02:07:08,442 --> 02:07:09,177
the time the ordinance was

3972
02:07:09,177 --> 02:07:09,810
really just one initial step to

3973
02:07:09,810 --> 02:07:12,210
move the city's affordable

3974
02:07:13,714 --> 02:07:14,248
housing preservation strategy

3975
02:07:14,248 --> 02:07:14,848
forward allowing for

3976
02:07:14,848 --> 02:07:17,248
opportunities so that as

3977
02:07:17,718 --> 02:07:18,452
affordable housing covenants

3978
02:07:18,452 --> 02:07:19,153
expired, the city whether

3979
02:07:19,153 --> 02:07:21,553
through the Housing Commission

3980
02:07:22,689 --> 02:07:23,291
or through partners within

3981
02:07:23,291 --> 02:07:23,991
the community who could

3982
02:07:23,991 --> 02:07:26,991
participate in this fund could

3983
02:07:27,328 --> 02:07:28,620
help and have the opportunity

3984
02:07:28,620 --> 02:07:30,462
to preserve existing affordable

3985
02:07:31,866 --> 02:07:32,600
housing and to renew their

3986
02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:33,167
covenants in the years ahead.

3987
02:07:33,167 --> 02:07:33,868
As you've heard from

3988
02:07:33,868 --> 02:07:36,268
the presentation, there's been

3989
02:07:37,170 --> 02:07:37,872
over 13,000 units that have

3990
02:07:37,872 --> 02:07:40,272
been identified with covenants

3991
02:07:41,275 --> 02:07:41,976
that would be expiring other

3992
02:07:41,976 --> 02:07:42,643
nationally affordable housing

3993
02:07:42,643 --> 02:07:44,643
occurring affordable housing

3994
02:07:46,347 --> 02:07:47,480
that has been at risk And for

3995
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:50,648
much time the city has focused

3996
02:07:51,852 --> 02:07:52,353
heavily primarily on producing

3997
02:07:52,353 --> 02:07:52,954
new housing units.

3998
02:07:52,954 --> 02:07:55,657
But at the same time we

3999
02:07:55,657 --> 02:07:56,357
recognize that just producing

4000
02:07:56,357 --> 02:07:57,580
new units doesn't necessarily

4001
02:07:57,580 --> 02:08:00,580
ensure that the existing units

4002
02:08:00,662 --> 02:08:01,329
with expirations on their

4003
02:08:01,329 --> 02:08:01,696
covenants would actually be

4004
02:08:01,696 --> 02:08:03,696
protected.

4005
02:08:05,233 --> 02:08:05,833
And that's why we're here today

4006
02:08:05,833 --> 02:08:06,434
working with the Housing

4007
02:08:06,434 --> 02:08:07,101
Commission and Planning

4008
02:08:07,101 --> 02:08:09,101
Department, the Neighborhood

4009
02:08:11,390 --> 02:08:13,439
Enhancement fee was established

4010
02:08:13,574 --> 02:08:14,242
specifically with housing

4011
02:08:14,242 --> 02:08:14,943
preservation as one of its

4012
02:08:14,943 --> 02:08:17,943
primary areas of emphasis And

4013
02:08:18,812 --> 02:08:19,514
today we're looking not just at

4014
02:08:19,514 --> 02:08:21,914
allocating the $5.9 million to

4015
02:08:23,785 --> 02:08:24,386
start this fund but recognizing

4016
02:08:24,386 --> 02:08:25,530
that the funds that were

4017
02:08:25,530 --> 02:08:28,530
collected in that now have

4018
02:08:28,356 --> 02:08:29,570
the opportunity actually be

4019
02:08:29,570 --> 02:08:29,690
utilized for the purpose they

4020
02:08:29,690 --> 02:08:30,258
were intended which is to

4021
02:08:30,258 --> 02:08:32,258
provide for additional

4022
02:08:32,994 --> 02:08:33,695
affordable housing

4023
02:08:33,695 --> 02:08:34,295
opportunities specifically by

4024
02:08:34,295 --> 02:08:36,695
protecting the ones that

4025
02:08:37,799 --> 02:08:38,932
already exist.

4026
02:08:38,932 --> 02:08:42,537
I do want to ask both Colin and

4027
02:08:42,537 --> 02:08:43,204
Francis something that has been

4028
02:08:43,204 --> 02:08:43,905
identified is that the staff

4029
02:08:43,905 --> 02:08:46,905
report and the materials here

4030
02:08:48,543 --> 02:08:49,209
talk about the $5.9 million as

4031
02:08:49,209 --> 02:08:51,211
a part of f by 26.

4032
02:08:51,211 --> 02:08:51,879
We're of course headed into

4033
02:08:51,879 --> 02:08:52,613
that for 27 budget as well.

4034
02:08:52,613 --> 02:08:53,348
And so we've been talking about

4035
02:08:53,348 --> 02:08:56,348
a higher number of what's

4036
02:08:56,650 --> 02:08:57,119
anticipated to ultimately go

4037
02:08:57,119 --> 02:08:57,786
into this fund.

4038
02:08:57,786 --> 02:08:58,860
>> Can you share about that?

4039
02:08:58,860 --> 02:08:58,753
Yeah.

4040
02:08:58,753 --> 02:09:00,889
Thank you for the question.

4041
02:09:00,889 --> 02:09:04,292
So yes, this is strictly for

4042
02:09:04,292 --> 02:09:04,960
fiscal year 2026 for the 5.9

4043
02:09:04,960 --> 02:09:07,360
million in fiscal year 27

4044
02:09:07,929 --> 02:09:08,697
there's an additional 2.7

4045
02:09:08,697 --> 02:09:09,264
million to get bring us to a

4046
02:09:09,264 --> 02:09:11,264
total of $8.5 million.

4047
02:09:12,968 --> 02:09:13,602
That budget was already

4048
02:09:13,602 --> 02:09:14,202
approved by city council.

4049
02:09:14,202 --> 02:09:14,836
>> That's why we did not

4050
02:09:14,836 --> 02:09:17,339
mention it in this report.

4051
02:09:17,339 --> 02:09:18,306
Thank you.

4052
02:09:18,306 --> 02:09:21,420
And let me just note that as

4053
02:09:21,420 --> 02:09:21,710
much as we talked about

4054
02:09:21,710 --> 02:09:22,410
the ordinance being a first

4055
02:09:22,410 --> 02:09:25,410
step and the establishment of

4056
02:09:26,314 --> 02:09:27,182
this fund being another step,

4057
02:09:27,182 --> 02:09:27,949
there's a lot of work to do

4058
02:09:27,949 --> 02:09:31,549
still $8.5 million is not a lot

4059
02:09:31,553 --> 02:09:32,253
at the end of the day in terms

4060
02:09:32,253 --> 02:09:32,820
of the number of housing units

4061
02:09:32,820 --> 02:09:35,220
that can be impacted.

4062
02:09:35,590 --> 02:09:36,324
We look at some of

4063
02:09:36,324 --> 02:09:36,959
the developments that we've or

4064
02:09:36,959 --> 02:09:39,861
some of the properties in

4065
02:09:39,861 --> 02:09:40,562
the past where on the national

4066
02:09:40,562 --> 02:09:41,196
affordable naturally occurring

4067
02:09:41,196 --> 02:09:43,596
affordable side we've seen

4068
02:09:44,833 --> 02:09:45,567
thousands of units shift hands

4069
02:09:45,567 --> 02:09:46,201
to become market rate and we've

4070
02:09:46,201 --> 02:09:48,601
lost that affordability to

4071
02:09:50,272 --> 02:09:50,705
those who had the ability to

4072
02:09:50,705 --> 02:09:51,372
act upon that.

4073
02:09:51,372 --> 02:09:53,772
What this establishing this

4074
02:09:55,110 --> 02:09:55,844
fund allows the city to do is

4075
02:09:55,844 --> 02:09:56,478
to also look at other resources

4076
02:09:56,478 --> 02:09:58,478
whether it's philanthropic

4077
02:10:00,820 --> 02:10:00,682
partners, whether it's

4078
02:10:00,682 --> 02:10:02,682
corporate and workforce

4079
02:10:04,353 --> 02:10:05,520
partners within the region to

4080
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:05,720
think about how we can work

4081
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:08,120
collectively to have funding

4082
02:10:09,257 --> 02:10:09,858
available so that as housing

4083
02:10:09,858 --> 02:10:10,425
units either lose their

4084
02:10:10,425 --> 02:10:12,425
covenants or naturally

4085
02:10:13,929 --> 02:10:14,596
affordable occurring affordable

4086
02:10:14,596 --> 02:10:15,297
units are identified where

4087
02:10:15,297 --> 02:10:18,297
there's an opportunity for us

4088
02:10:19,100 --> 02:10:19,601
to step in and preserve their

4089
02:10:19,601 --> 02:10:22,100
existing cost so that

4090
02:10:23,739 --> 02:10:24,439
homeowners renters etc. Can

4091
02:10:24,439 --> 02:10:24,907
stay within the housing units

4092
02:10:24,907 --> 02:10:26,907
that they're in.

4093
02:10:28,143 --> 02:10:28,944
This fund is just the first

4094
02:10:28,944 --> 02:10:29,611
step in allowing us to better

4095
02:10:29,611 --> 02:10:29,945
be prepared to act upon that

4096
02:10:29,945 --> 02:10:31,945
front.

4097
02:10:33,715 --> 02:10:34,583
So again, we're just taking one

4098
02:10:34,583 --> 02:10:38,183
step today We're opening a door

4099
02:10:38,252 --> 02:10:38,954
inviting the opportunity to

4100
02:10:38,954 --> 02:10:41,954
partner with others to expand

4101
02:10:43,192 --> 02:10:43,859
upon our ability as a city to

4102
02:10:43,859 --> 02:10:44,459
preserve affordable housing.

4103
02:10:44,459 --> 02:10:46,859
Again, where this really

4104
02:10:47,129 --> 02:10:47,763
focuses just as a starting

4105
02:10:47,763 --> 02:10:48,464
point are the thousands of

4106
02:10:48,464 --> 02:10:51,464
units that we have identified

4107
02:10:52,101 --> 02:10:52,768
that are 55 year covenants for

4108
02:10:52,768 --> 02:10:53,469
affordable housing that are

4109
02:10:53,469 --> 02:10:56,469
expiring and the decade ahead.

4110
02:10:57,539 --> 02:10:58,207
There's nothing else we can do

4111
02:10:58,207 --> 02:11:01,807
for those units if we're not

4112
02:11:02,544 --> 02:11:03,178
ready to act upon them and to

4113
02:11:03,178 --> 02:11:03,746
encourage others to do so.

4114
02:11:03,746 --> 02:11:04,446
The ordinance that was

4115
02:11:04,446 --> 02:11:06,446
established that Councilmember

4116
02:11:07,449 --> 02:11:08,830
Moreno helped to champion help

4117
02:11:08,830 --> 02:11:08,717
provide the first right of

4118
02:11:08,717 --> 02:11:11,117
refusal so that affordable

4119
02:11:11,754 --> 02:11:12,488
housing developers and others

4120
02:11:12,488 --> 02:11:12,821
could act before someone could

4121
02:11:12,821 --> 02:11:13,621
come in.

4122
02:11:13,621 --> 02:11:16,621
From a market rate standpoint

4123
02:11:17,226 --> 02:11:17,926
this is a next step that allows

4124
02:11:17,926 --> 02:11:18,594
the city to partner with folks

4125
02:11:18,594 --> 02:11:21,430
to actually put funding and

4126
02:11:21,430 --> 02:11:22,364
capital into doing just that.

4127
02:11:22,364 --> 02:11:23,320
So with that I'm proud to move

4128
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:25,432
the staff recommendation on

4129
02:11:26,869 --> 02:11:27,402
this item and look forward to

4130
02:11:27,402 --> 02:11:27,803
the comments from my

4131
02:11:27,803 --> 02:11:28,169
colleagues.

4132
02:11:28,169 --> 02:11:28,537
Thank you.

4133
02:11:28,537 --> 02:11:28,904
All right.

4134
02:11:28,904 --> 02:11:29,605
Thank you.

4135
02:11:29,605 --> 02:11:31,674
So we have a motion by Council

4136
02:11:31,674 --> 02:11:32,341
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee to move

4137
02:11:32,341 --> 02:11:33,740
the staff recommendation and

4138
02:11:33,740 --> 02:11:35,644
we'll go next to council member

4139
02:11:35,644 --> 02:11:36,312
Moreno.

4140
02:11:36,312 --> 02:11:36,979
Thank you to the San Diego

4141
02:11:36,979 --> 02:11:39,379
Housing Commission and city

4142
02:11:40,482 --> 02:11:40,815
staff for bringing this item

4143
02:11:40,815 --> 02:11:41,483
forward.

4144
02:11:41,483 --> 02:11:42,118
I am pleased to support

4145
02:11:42,118 --> 02:11:44,518
the final establishment of

4146
02:11:45,321 --> 02:11:45,888
the Affordable Housing

4147
02:11:45,888 --> 02:11:46,355
Preservation Fund and

4148
02:11:46,355 --> 02:11:47,220
the transfer of

4149
02:11:47,220 --> 02:11:49,220
the Neighborhood Enhancement

4150
02:11:50,826 --> 02:11:53,826
Funds to build this important

4151
02:11:55,330 --> 02:11:56,650
resource for San Diego.

4152
02:11:56,650 --> 02:11:56,766
The reality is simple San Diego

4153
02:11:56,766 --> 02:11:59,166
doesn't have enough affordable

4154
02:12:00,102 --> 02:12:00,669
housing and while we must

4155
02:12:00,669 --> 02:12:01,370
continue building more

4156
02:12:01,370 --> 02:12:04,370
construction, it alone is not

4157
02:12:04,707 --> 02:12:05,573
keeping up with the need.

4158
02:12:05,573 --> 02:12:07,973
This is why preserving

4159
02:12:09,645 --> 02:12:10,312
the Affordable homes we already

4160
02:12:10,312 --> 02:12:13,912
have is just as important as

4161
02:12:14,583 --> 02:12:15,318
building new ones.

4162
02:12:15,318 --> 02:12:16,118
When an affordable housing

4163
02:12:16,118 --> 02:12:19,718
property is put up for sale

4164
02:12:20,655 --> 02:12:23,655
after the 55 year covenant it

4165
02:12:24,527 --> 02:12:25,261
simply could be before it could

4166
02:12:25,261 --> 02:12:25,995
be sold from an affordable

4167
02:12:25,995 --> 02:12:28,995
housing developer to a private

4168
02:12:29,966 --> 02:12:30,666
developer without the city ever

4169
02:12:30,666 --> 02:12:33,666
having the opportunity to step

4170
02:12:34,700 --> 02:12:34,504
in and preserve its

4171
02:12:34,504 --> 02:12:35,710
affordability.

4172
02:12:35,710 --> 02:12:35,738
To be clear, these are

4173
02:12:35,738 --> 02:12:38,138
affordable homes that were

4174
02:12:39,509 --> 02:12:40,209
built using public subsidies

4175
02:12:40,209 --> 02:12:43,809
and it's critical that we keep

4176
02:12:44,282 --> 02:12:44,847
them affordable.

4177
02:12:44,847 --> 02:12:45,581
The Affordable Housing

4178
02:12:45,581 --> 02:12:47,981
Preservation Ordinance that was

4179
02:12:49,885 --> 02:12:50,553
mentioned by our pro tem is an

4180
02:12:50,553 --> 02:12:53,553
ordinance that I worked very

4181
02:12:54,457 --> 02:12:55,258

and Housing Committee, I

4185
02:13:00,763 --> 02:13:03,763
requested that the San Diego

4186
02:13:03,900 --> 02:13:04,567
Housing Commission bring

4187
02:13:04,567 --> 02:13:05,234
the committee information on

4188
02:13:05,234 --> 02:13:08,704
what we could do to preserve

4189
02:13:08,704 --> 02:13:09,405
affordable homes in San Diego

4190
02:13:09,405 --> 02:13:12,405
in NOVEMBER 2024, the Land Use

4191
02:13:13,175 --> 02:13:13,843
and Housing Committee

4192
02:13:13,843 --> 02:13:14,544
unanimously recommended that

4193
02:13:14,544 --> 02:13:18,144
the City Council adopt this or

4194
02:13:18,148 --> 02:13:18,781
the order the previous

4195
02:13:18,781 --> 02:13:21,181
ordinance which provides a

4196
02:13:23,453 --> 02:13:24,187
right of first offer and right

4197
02:13:24,187 --> 02:13:27,187
of first refusal to qualified

4198
02:13:28,240 --> 02:13:28,791
entities including nonprofits

4199
02:13:28,791 --> 02:13:31,791
and for profit organization or

4200
02:13:33,129 --> 02:13:33,997
for profit organizations.

4201
02:13:33,997 --> 02:13:34,664
And I do want to take this

4202
02:13:34,664 --> 02:13:37,664
opportunity to thank the San

4203
02:13:38,101 --> 02:13:38,868
Diego Housing Commission for

4204
02:13:38,868 --> 02:13:39,369
how many meetings did you guys

4205
02:13:39,369 --> 02:13:40,360
have during that?

4206
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:42,271
>> I know we're not talking

4207
02:13:42,271 --> 02:13:43,720
about this but it's good to to

4208
02:13:43,720 --> 02:13:43,406
put on record how many meetings

4209
02:13:43,406 --> 02:13:45,406
you had.

4210
02:13:47,944 --> 02:13:48,878
>> I've lost count.

4211
02:13:48,878 --> 02:13:51,514
>> It was a lot was a lot.

4212
02:13:51,514 --> 02:13:52,482
It was a lot of meetings But in

4213
02:13:52,482 --> 02:13:54,882
20 in 20 in FEBRUARY of 2025

4214
02:13:56,353 --> 02:13:56,986
the Affordable Housing

4215
02:13:56,986 --> 02:13:57,587
Preservation Ordinance was

4216
02:13:57,587 --> 02:13:59,587
unanimously approved by

4217
02:14:01,324 --> 02:14:02,580
the city council.

4218
02:14:02,580 --> 02:14:02,659
This ordinance applies when

4219
02:14:02,659 --> 02:14:05,659
the owner of an assisted

4220
02:14:06,563 --> 02:14:07,630
housing development intends to

4221
02:14:07,630 --> 02:14:09,630
sell the property.

4222
02:14:10,634 --> 02:14:11,434
It requires the property owner

4223
02:14:11,434 --> 02:14:12,102
to provide a notice of intent

4224
02:14:12,102 --> 02:14:15,102
to sell to government and

4225
02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:16,606
affordable housing entities

4226
02:14:16,606 --> 02:14:19,600
three months before any

4227
02:14:20,744 --> 02:14:21,444
offering to sell or listing

4228
02:14:21,444 --> 02:14:22,110
with any real estate agent

4229
02:14:22,110 --> 02:14:24,110
the Affordable Housing

4230
02:14:25,715 --> 02:14:26,349
Preservation Ordinance prevents

4231
02:14:26,349 --> 02:14:28,349
deed restricted affordable

4232
02:14:30,190 --> 02:14:30,887
homes from being redeveloped

4233
02:14:30,887 --> 02:14:33,887
into market rate or luxury

4234
02:14:34,758 --> 02:14:35,491
housing.

4235
02:14:35,491 --> 02:14:36,193
Now when a building with deed

4236
02:14:36,193 --> 02:14:38,193
restricted affordable housing

4237
02:14:40,630 --> 02:14:40,764
goes on the market we will have

4238
02:14:40,764 --> 02:14:43,164
the opportunity to preserve

4239
02:14:44,368 --> 02:14:45,350
that The those houses that pass

4240
02:14:45,350 --> 02:14:48,350
ordinance I thought was very

4241
02:14:48,939 --> 02:14:49,606
reasonable and it was an

4242
02:14:49,606 --> 02:14:50,307
effective tool to keep deed

4243
02:14:50,307 --> 02:14:52,707
restricted affordable units in

4244
02:14:54,110 --> 02:14:54,778
place across San Diego

4245
02:14:54,778 --> 02:14:57,178
basically keeping San Diego

4246
02:14:59,215 --> 02:15:00,830
from losing affordable homes

4247
02:15:00,830 --> 02:15:04,154
that they live in today We are

4248
02:15:04,154 --> 02:15:04,854
now we're taking the next

4249
02:15:04,854 --> 02:15:07,254
critical step the neighborhood

4250
02:15:08,825 --> 02:15:09,526
enhancement for dollars JANUARY

4251
02:15:09,526 --> 02:15:10,193
aided by new development are

4252
02:15:10,193 --> 02:15:12,593
now being reinvested to

4253
02:15:13,397 --> 02:15:14,640
preserve affordable housing and

4254
02:15:14,640 --> 02:15:16,640
establishing the Affordable

4255
02:15:18,101 --> 02:15:18,869
Housing Preservation Ordinance

4256
02:15:18,869 --> 02:15:19,569
Fund which we are doing today

4257
02:15:19,569 --> 02:15:21,969
will ensure we have

4258
02:15:23,440 --> 02:15:24,308
the resources also known as

4259
02:15:24,308 --> 02:15:27,908
money needed to act when these

4260
02:15:28,378 --> 02:15:29,179
opportunities arise.

4261
02:15:29,179 --> 02:15:29,713
So the first ordinance gave us

4262
02:15:29,713 --> 02:15:32,713
the right to do it.

4263
02:15:33,317 --> 02:15:33,917
Now this is providing us

4264
02:15:33,917 --> 02:15:34,518
the money to do it.

4265
02:15:34,518 --> 02:15:36,918
So having the Affordable

4266
02:15:38,188 --> 02:15:38,989
Housing Preservation Ordinance

4267
02:15:38,989 --> 02:15:42,589
Fund in place is an essential

4268
02:15:43,293 --> 02:15:43,927
tool to ensure that we continue

4269
02:15:43,927 --> 02:15:45,927
preserving exist existing

4270
02:15:47,764 --> 02:15:48,632
affordable homes in San Diego.

4271
02:15:48,632 --> 02:15:48,898
>> Do we need more housing?

4272
02:15:48,898 --> 02:15:49,533
Yes.

4273
02:15:49,533 --> 02:15:49,800
Do we need more parks?

4274
02:15:49,800 --> 02:15:51,800
Yes.

4275
02:15:52,736 --> 02:15:53,404
Do we need to make our parks

4276
02:15:53,404 --> 02:15:53,871
and keep them up to speed?

4277
02:15:53,871 --> 02:15:55,871
Absolutely yes.

4278
02:15:58,208 --> 02:15:58,975
But we absolutely need need

4279
02:15:58,975 --> 02:16:02,211
these funds And I want to take

4280
02:16:02,211 --> 02:16:02,980
this opportunity to thank

4281
02:16:02,980 --> 02:16:03,681
Council Pro Tem Lee and his

4282
02:16:03,681 --> 02:16:06,681

4283
02:16:07,584 --> 02:16:08,319
on this very important effort.

4284
02:16:08,319 --> 02:16:11,722
Could have just left it sitting

4285
02:16:11,722 --> 02:16:12,489
on the shelf and we would have

4286
02:16:12,489 --> 02:16:13,189
never had money to actually put

4287
02:16:13,189 --> 02:16:16,789
our money where our mouth is.

4288
02:16:16,860 --> 02:16:17,528

4289
02:16:17,528 --> 02:16:20,528

You guys are absolutely our

4294

housing heroes.

4295
02:16:27,170 --> 02:16:30,170
We could have had that

4296
02:16:30,774 --> 02:16:31,475
informational item and you

4297
02:16:31,475 --> 02:16:32,209

everything I wanted to hear and

4299
02:16:35,446 --> 02:16:36,412
we could have walked away and

4300
02:16:36,412 --> 02:16:38,882
not had I want to say it was

4301
02:16:38,882 --> 02:16:39,583
like it was a crazy amount of

4302
02:16:39,583 --> 02:16:40,317
meeting like 15 or 33 meetings

4303
02:16:40,317 --> 02:16:43,917
You could have never you didn't

4304
02:16:44,155 --> 02:16:44,654

4305
02:16:44,654 --> 02:16:45,422
it and you did it.

4306
02:16:45,422 --> 02:16:46,123
>> And now we are seeing

4307
02:16:46,123 --> 02:16:48,859
the fruits of your hard labor

4308
02:16:48,859 --> 02:16:49,526
And I want to thank you for

4309
02:16:49,526 --> 02:16:49,960

>> Thank you.

4311
02:16:50,327 --> 02:16:50,694
All right.

4312
02:16:50,694 --> 02:16:52,694
Thank you.

4313
02:16:54,865 --> 02:16:55,466
Council member Moreno So we do

4314
02:16:55,466 --> 02:16:56,100
have a motion by Council

4315
02:16:56,100 --> 02:16:56,834
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee and

4316
02:16:56,834 --> 02:16:58,335
second by council member Marina

4317
02:16:58,335 --> 02:16:59,360
on move the staff

4318
02:16:59,360 --> 02:16:59,670
recommendation will go next to

4319
02:16:59,670 --> 02:17:02,700
council member Eli Rivera.

4320
02:17:03,207 --> 02:17:05,607
Thank you Council PRESIDENT

4321
02:17:07,177 --> 02:17:08,450
Thank you Colin and Frances and

4322
02:17:08,450 --> 02:17:11,450
Lisa and the whole Housing

4323
02:17:11,915 --> 02:17:13,915
Commission team.

4324
02:17:16,620 --> 02:17:17,210
>> Sometimes things are good.

4325
02:17:17,210 --> 02:17:17,521
That's it.

4326
02:17:17,521 --> 02:17:19,521
They're just good.

4327
02:17:21,258 --> 02:17:21,959
This is good If we care about

4328
02:17:21,959 --> 02:17:25,559
people being able to live in

4329
02:17:26,397 --> 02:17:27,980
this city and stay in

4330
02:17:27,980 --> 02:17:27,698
the communities that they live

4331
02:17:27,698 --> 02:17:28,399
in they love and they're

4332
02:17:28,399 --> 02:17:30,467
pouring their hearts into this

4333
02:17:30,467 --> 02:17:32,467
is good period.

4334
02:17:35,740 --> 02:17:39,340
>> This is making it easier for

4335
02:17:40,344 --> 02:17:41,145
the city to actually do

4336
02:17:41,145 --> 02:17:41,412
the things we say we want to

4337
02:17:41,412 --> 02:17:43,412
do.

4338
02:17:45,415 --> 02:17:46,117
So I think some of

4339
02:17:46,117 --> 02:17:49,717
the confusion is coming from a

4340
02:17:50,870 --> 02:17:50,721
a genuine place of not

4341
02:17:50,721 --> 02:17:51,421
understanding exactly what

4342
02:17:51,421 --> 02:17:54,892
the action is here in front of

4343
02:17:54,892 --> 02:17:55,726
us.

4344
02:17:55,726 --> 02:17:59,326
But I also think there's some

4345
02:17:59,597 --> 02:18:03,197
folks who just will always find

4346
02:18:04,350 --> 02:18:04,836
an opportunity to criticize

4347
02:18:04,836 --> 02:18:07,836
everything that happens here to

4348
02:18:09,273 --> 02:18:11,273
relitigate completely separate

4349
02:18:14,245 --> 02:18:17,482
issues And what's in front of

4350
02:18:17,482 --> 02:18:18,216
us right now is the result of

4351
02:18:18,216 --> 02:18:21,216
one council member working hand

4352
02:18:22,420 --> 02:18:23,488
in hand with the housing

4353
02:18:23,488 --> 02:18:27,880
Commission to put a law on

4354
02:18:27,158 --> 02:18:27,892
the books to to ensure that

4355
02:18:27,892 --> 02:18:29,560
every single affordable housing

4356
02:18:29,560 --> 02:18:31,560
naturally occurring affordable

4357
02:18:34,666 --> 02:18:37,666
housing complex in San Diego

4358
02:18:39,204 --> 02:18:42,804
isn't seen as fresh meat from

4359
02:18:44,800 --> 02:18:44,709
Wall Street investors and

4360
02:18:44,709 --> 02:18:48,309
people who want to flip homes

4361
02:18:49,470 --> 02:18:49,814
regardless of what the impact

4362
02:18:49,814 --> 02:18:50,615
is on community gives San Diego

4363
02:18:50,615 --> 02:18:53,919
an actual chance to to compete

4364
02:18:53,919 --> 02:18:54,586
and then council PRESIDENT Pro

4365
02:18:54,586 --> 02:18:55,220
Tem Lee in partnership with

4366
02:18:55,220 --> 02:18:57,620
the Housing Commission is

4367
02:18:58,523 --> 02:18:59,190
making sure that the city has a

4368
02:18:59,190 --> 02:18:59,857
vehicle to have the funding

4369
02:18:59,857 --> 02:19:00,759
necessary to actually act on

4370
02:19:00,759 --> 02:19:02,759
that law.

4371
02:19:06,350 --> 02:19:06,698
>> This is good.

4372
02:19:06,698 --> 02:19:07,365
>> So I'm appreciative of

4373
02:19:07,365 --> 02:19:07,665
the effort that's gone into

4374
02:19:07,665 --> 02:19:09,665
this.

4375
02:19:11,569 --> 02:19:12,270
I am glad to see that we are

4376
02:19:12,270 --> 02:19:14,643
taking actions to ensure that

4377
02:19:14,643 --> 02:19:18,843
we can do the things that we

4378
02:19:23,748 --> 02:19:24,449
say we want to do And there are

4379
02:19:24,449 --> 02:19:25,150
plenty of reasons to be

4380
02:19:25,150 --> 02:19:28,150
dissatisfied with the state of

4381
02:19:28,720 --> 02:19:29,488
housing in San Diego.

4382
02:19:29,488 --> 02:19:30,210
There are plenty of reasons to

4383
02:19:30,210 --> 02:19:32,210
be dissatisfied with

4384
02:19:33,191 --> 02:19:33,992
the progress we've made to make

4385
02:19:33,992 --> 02:19:36,992
San Diego more affordable and

4386
02:19:38,290 --> 02:19:40,290
this is good.

4387
02:19:42,533 --> 02:19:43,435
So the last thing I will add

4388
02:19:43,435 --> 02:19:44,169
and I had a chance to talk

4389
02:19:44,169 --> 02:19:47,606
about this a little bit earlier

4390
02:19:47,606 --> 02:19:48,206
alongside my colleagues

4391
02:19:48,206 --> 02:19:48,907
Councilmember Moreno and

4392
02:19:48,907 --> 02:19:51,907
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee.

4393
02:19:52,844 --> 02:19:53,478
But communities like City

4394
02:19:53,478 --> 02:19:54,146
Heights and other parts of

4395
02:19:54,146 --> 02:19:54,813
the city that were naturally

4396
02:19:54,813 --> 02:19:56,813
occurring affordable housing

4397
02:19:58,160 --> 02:19:58,717
exists and just to make sure

4398
02:19:58,717 --> 02:19:59,351
that's a technical term so we

4399
02:19:59,351 --> 02:20:02,320
can like define what we're

4400
02:20:02,320 --> 02:20:05,320
talking about there Those are

4401
02:20:06,591 --> 02:20:07,359
typically older homes that have

4402
02:20:07,359 --> 02:20:09,759
have become more affordable

4403
02:20:11,796 --> 02:20:12,497
over time or there's a deed

4404
02:20:12,497 --> 02:20:14,497
restricted affordable housing

4405
02:20:17,350 --> 02:20:17,669
that is about to where the deed

4406
02:20:17,669 --> 02:20:20,690
restrictions are about to

4407
02:20:21,406 --> 02:20:22,274
expire And that is the reason

4408
02:20:22,274 --> 02:20:25,874
why investors are seeing it as

4409
02:20:26,144 --> 02:20:27,112
chum in the water.

4410
02:20:27,112 --> 02:20:30,782
And if we don't do this, what

4411
02:20:30,782 --> 02:20:33,782
happens is a Wall Street

4412
02:20:35,621 --> 02:20:36,354
investor or local developer who

4413
02:20:36,354 --> 02:20:36,988
doesn't care about people comes

4414
02:20:36,988 --> 02:20:39,988
in, buys a property, kicks

4415
02:20:40,125 --> 02:20:40,793
the people out who are

4416
02:20:40,793 --> 02:20:41,493
currently there, flips those

4417
02:20:41,493 --> 02:20:42,928
units into air quote luxury

4418
02:20:42,928 --> 02:20:45,328
apartments cause they're not

4419
02:20:47,933 --> 02:20:50,333
really luxury and that

4420
02:20:52,738 --> 02:20:53,538
the cycle continues.

4421
02:20:53,538 --> 02:20:57,138
So some of the folks who've

4422
02:20:57,543 --> 02:20:58,210
spoken kind of in opposition to

4423
02:20:58,210 --> 02:20:58,811
this are the same people who

4424
02:20:58,811 --> 02:20:59,411
talk about caring about

4425
02:20:59,411 --> 02:21:01,411
community character and

4426
02:21:02,648 --> 02:21:03,214
the community character that I

4427
02:21:03,214 --> 02:21:03,882
care about comes from

4428
02:21:03,882 --> 02:21:06,985
the people who live in those

4429
02:21:06,985 --> 02:21:07,418
homes And this helps us protect

4430
02:21:07,418 --> 02:21:08,252
those people.

4431
02:21:08,252 --> 02:21:09,121
So thank you again everyone who

4432
02:21:09,121 --> 02:21:12,721
worked on this who put effort

4433
02:21:12,891 --> 02:21:13,358
in I'm glad we're doing this.

4434
02:21:13,358 --> 02:21:14,260
This is good.

4435
02:21:14,260 --> 02:21:14,560
That's why I'm supporting it

4436
02:21:14,560 --> 02:21:14,927
And we'll vote yes.

4437
02:21:14,927 --> 02:21:16,927
Thank you.

4438
02:21:17,796 --> 02:21:18,197
Council PRESIDENT.

4439
02:21:18,197 --> 02:21:18,597
All right.

4440
02:21:18,597 --> 02:21:19,298
Thank you.

4441
02:21:19,298 --> 02:21:19,932
Got Somerville or Rivera We'll

4442
02:21:19,932 --> 02:21:20,466
go next to council member

4443
02:21:20,466 --> 02:21:21,900
Whitburn Thank you.

4444
02:21:21,900 --> 02:21:22,434
Council PRESIDENT Yes this is a

4445
02:21:22,434 --> 02:21:23,350
great step forward.

4446
02:21:23,350 --> 02:21:23,636
Thank you to the Housing

4447
02:21:23,636 --> 02:21:24,303
commission, the planning

4448
02:21:24,303 --> 02:21:26,639
department for all the work

4449
02:21:26,639 --> 02:21:27,372
that's gone into it.

4450
02:21:27,372 --> 02:21:28,730
So many people are struggling

4451
02:21:28,730 --> 02:21:28,374
with the cost of living in San

4452
02:21:28,374 --> 02:21:30,374
Diego.

4453
02:21:30,676 --> 02:21:31,210
The biggest part of that is

4454
02:21:31,210 --> 02:21:32,440
the cost of housing.

4455
02:21:32,440 --> 02:21:35,644
We need more housing that is

4456
02:21:36,140 --> 02:21:36,748
truly affordable And obviously

4457
02:21:36,748 --> 02:21:37,449
one way to address that is to

4458
02:21:37,449 --> 02:21:39,849
build more affordable housing.

4459
02:21:41,200 --> 02:21:41,887
We're doing that.

4460
02:21:41,887 --> 02:21:42,555
We're doing quite a bit of that

4461
02:21:42,555 --> 02:21:45,424
in the district I represent

4462
02:21:45,424 --> 02:21:46,910
here downtown Harrington

4463
02:21:46,910 --> 02:21:46,725
Heights and the East Village

4464
02:21:46,725 --> 02:21:49,725
opened up late last year.

4465
02:21:50,262 --> 02:21:50,829
Jacaranda died in Cortez Hill

4466
02:21:50,829 --> 02:21:53,229
opened up last month.

4467
02:21:55,234 --> 02:21:55,868
We got another deed restricted

4468
02:21:55,868 --> 02:21:57,868
affordable housing project

4469
02:21:59,500 --> 02:21:59,672
going in up here on six between

4470
02:21:59,672 --> 02:22:00,272
Cedar and Beach That will be

4471
02:22:00,272 --> 02:22:02,672
opening before too long.

4472
02:22:03,374 --> 02:22:04,110
All of those have or will have

4473
02:22:04,110 --> 02:22:07,110
rents that are restricted based

4474
02:22:08,470 --> 02:22:08,814
on the renter's income.

4475
02:22:08,814 --> 02:22:09,482
But as we produce that new

4476
02:22:09,482 --> 02:22:11,882
affordable housing we can't

4477
02:22:12,918 --> 02:22:13,586
afford to lose the affordable

4478
02:22:13,586 --> 02:22:16,586
housing that we already have

4479
02:22:17,957 --> 02:22:18,524
Lose it because

4480
02:22:18,524 --> 02:22:19,225
the department's rent

4481
02:22:19,225 --> 02:22:21,625
restriction expires or because

4482
02:22:22,928 --> 02:22:23,529
that apartment that simply has

4483
02:22:23,529 --> 02:22:24,163
a low rent because of

4484
02:22:24,163 --> 02:22:27,763
the market goes away or is

4485
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:28,367
replaced by something more

4486
02:22:28,367 --> 02:22:29,680
expensive.

4487
02:22:29,680 --> 02:22:29,668
Otherwise we're just spinning

4488
02:22:29,668 --> 02:22:32,668
our wheels and we're not

4489
02:22:32,938 --> 02:22:33,606
actually adding to the overall

4490
02:22:33,606 --> 02:22:34,273
supply of affordable housing

4491
02:22:34,273 --> 02:22:37,273
that we so desperately need.

4492
02:22:38,210 --> 02:22:38,577
That is why this fund is such a

4493
02:22:38,577 --> 02:22:39,245
big deal.

4494
02:22:39,245 --> 02:22:41,645
The city dedicating funding

4495
02:22:42,148 --> 02:22:42,781
specifically for preserving

4496
02:22:42,781 --> 02:22:43,516
affordable housing is not

4497
02:22:43,516 --> 02:22:43,883
something that very many cities

4498
02:22:43,883 --> 02:22:45,883
are doing.

4499
02:22:46,953 --> 02:22:47,619
This fund as has been

4500
02:22:47,619 --> 02:22:48,287
discussed, could be used to

4501
02:22:48,287 --> 02:22:50,287
acquire naturally occurring

4502
02:22:51,991 --> 02:22:52,657
affordable housing before a

4503
02:22:52,657 --> 02:22:53,359
private investor snaps it up

4504
02:22:53,359 --> 02:22:56,959
could be used to preserve deed

4505
02:22:56,963 --> 02:22:57,663
restricted affordable housing

4506
02:22:57,663 --> 02:22:58,330
and with the city committing

4507
02:22:58,330 --> 02:23:00,330
neighborhood enhancement for

4508
02:23:02,401 --> 02:23:03,350
dollars year over year this is

4509
02:23:03,350 --> 02:23:05,435
a sustained investment in

4510
02:23:07,240 --> 02:23:08,700
keeping San Diego affordable.

4511
02:23:08,700 --> 02:23:08,341
It's not just a one time

4512
02:23:08,341 --> 02:23:09,800
effort.

4513
02:23:09,800 --> 02:23:09,308
That's part of the beauty of

4514
02:23:09,308 --> 02:23:11,308
this.

4515
02:23:11,444 --> 02:23:12,177
This is going to help renters

4516
02:23:12,177 --> 02:23:12,912
in my district who currently

4517
02:23:12,912 --> 02:23:15,912
live in affordable housing and

4518
02:23:17,250 --> 02:23:17,750
depend on their apartment to

4519
02:23:17,750 --> 02:23:19,750
remain affordable.

4520
02:23:21,621 --> 02:23:22,321
It means that when a landlord

4521
02:23:22,321 --> 02:23:22,955
decides to sell that apartment

4522
02:23:22,955 --> 02:23:25,955
building in North Park or

4523
02:23:26,292 --> 02:23:26,926
Hillcrest or Golden Hill a

4524
02:23:26,926 --> 02:23:27,659
building where people have

4525
02:23:27,659 --> 02:23:31,164
lived for years and where rents

4526
02:23:31,164 --> 02:23:31,831
are still affordable,

4527
02:23:31,831 --> 02:23:32,532
the Housing Commission could

4528
02:23:32,532 --> 02:23:33,232
have an opportunity to step in

4529
02:23:33,232 --> 02:23:36,636
and buy it before a private

4530
02:23:36,636 --> 02:23:37,303
investor does Before Redd's go

4531
02:23:37,303 --> 02:23:40,303
up, before people get pushed

4532
02:23:41,174 --> 02:23:41,808
out of their homes and out of

4533
02:23:41,808 --> 02:23:42,475
their neighborhoods, it'll

4534
02:23:42,475 --> 02:23:44,875
protect the affordable rents

4535
02:23:45,344 --> 02:23:46,450
that exist right now and keep

4536
02:23:46,450 --> 02:23:46,812
them affordable going forward.

4537
02:23:46,812 --> 02:23:50,412
Every unit that we preserve is

4538
02:23:51,251 --> 02:23:51,951
a family that doesn't have to

4539
02:23:51,951 --> 02:23:52,485
move, a family that could stay

4540
02:23:52,485 --> 02:23:54,485
in the neighborhood.

4541
02:23:55,354 --> 02:23:55,855
A senior at fixed income who

4542
02:23:55,855 --> 02:23:56,589
gets to stay in

4543
02:23:56,589 --> 02:23:57,256
the neighborhood that they have

4544
02:23:57,256 --> 02:24:00,256
called home for decades a

4545
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:01,260
worker who could still afford

4546
02:24:01,260 --> 02:24:01,561
to live close to where they

4547
02:24:01,561 --> 02:24:03,561
work.

4548
02:24:05,532 --> 02:24:06,199
>> We lose thousands thousands

4549
02:24:06,199 --> 02:24:09,199
of affordable units in this

4550
02:24:10,637 --> 02:24:11,337
city every year that because

4551
02:24:11,337 --> 02:24:12,500
they're necessarily tore down

4552
02:24:12,500 --> 02:24:15,500
but because they're sold and

4553
02:24:15,408 --> 02:24:16,309
the rents are raised this fund

4554
02:24:16,309 --> 02:24:16,743
is how we start to fight back

4555
02:24:16,743 --> 02:24:17,477
against that.

4556
02:24:17,477 --> 02:24:20,747
So San Diego is doing something

4557
02:24:20,747 --> 02:24:21,714
genuinely innovative here.

4558
02:24:21,714 --> 02:24:22,315
I am proud to support it and I

4559

4570
02:24:35,528 --> 02:24:36,129
Thank you so much for all

4571
02:24:36,129 --> 02:24:36,830
the comments from all my

4572
02:24:36,830 --> 02:24:39,230
colleagues that are absolutely

4573
02:24:40,233 --> 02:24:41,100
correct.

4574
02:24:41,100 --> 02:24:44,100
I remember gosh back just

4575
02:24:45,238 --> 02:24:48,838
before I ran for council we

4576
02:24:50,243 --> 02:24:50,911
lost a large affordable housing

4577
02:24:50,911 --> 02:24:53,311
complex because the 55 years

4578
02:24:55,150 --> 02:24:55,782
had run out and it was really

4579
02:24:55,782 --> 02:24:59,382
difficult to get them to agree

4580
02:25:00,888 --> 02:25:01,655
with the fact that please help

4581
02:25:01,655 --> 02:25:02,421
us figure out a way to help

4582
02:25:02,421 --> 02:25:06,210
these folks who are now elderly

4583
02:25:06,260 --> 02:25:06,726
and can't move And they got

4584
02:25:06,726 --> 02:25:10,326
they've been in this thing for

4585
02:25:11,640 --> 02:25:11,765
55 years So at any rate those

4586
02:25:11,765 --> 02:25:14,765
times that's the history that

4587
02:25:15,702 --> 02:25:16,470
led to ideas like this.

4588
02:25:16,470 --> 02:25:20,700
This is an excellent idea and

4589
02:25:20,273 --> 02:25:21,700
I'm definitely in favor and I

4590
02:25:21,700 --> 02:25:21,742
want to thank all my colleagues

4591
02:25:21,742 --> 02:25:22,142
for this as well as the Housing

4592
02:25:22,142 --> 02:25:24,142
Commission.

4593
02:25:25,440 --> 02:25:25,746
Again for your brilliance in

4594
02:25:25,746 --> 02:25:26,246
trying to help us with our

4595
02:25:26,246 --> 02:25:28,246
housing situation.

4596
02:25:30,830 --> 02:25:30,784
Thank you.

4597
02:25:30,784 --> 02:25:31,151

Pro Tom Lee the Housing

4604
02:25:41,461 --> 02:25:44,397
commission excuse me city staff

4605
02:25:44,397 --> 02:25:47,997
that has done the very good

4606
02:25:48,669 --> 02:25:49,436
work here going forward and

4607
02:25:49,436 --> 02:25:50,102
the one thing I want to really

4608
02:25:50,102 --> 02:25:50,770
emphasize is that nobody is

4609
02:25:50,770 --> 02:25:53,770
standing up and cheering and

4610
02:25:53,940 --> 02:25:54,808
saying mission accomplished.

4611
02:25:54,808 --> 02:25:58,408
This is a huge step towards

4612
02:25:59,146 --> 02:25:59,749
solving a huge problem and we

4613
02:25:59,749 --> 02:26:02,149
can't build fast enough.

4614
02:26:03,884 --> 02:26:04,685
And as my colleagues have said

4615
02:26:04,685 --> 02:26:05,418
,this is an opportunity to

4616
02:26:05,418 --> 02:26:08,655
preserve what we have and there

4617
02:26:08,655 --> 02:26:09,389
is nothing more efficient, more

4618
02:26:09,389 --> 02:26:12,389
green, more climate action plan

4619
02:26:13,393 --> 02:26:14,940
friendly than simply preserving

4620
02:26:14,940 --> 02:26:14,660
the development and buildings

4621
02:26:14,660 --> 02:26:17,600
that we have already.

4622
02:26:17,998 --> 02:26:18,799
So this is a huge step.

4623
02:26:18,799 --> 02:26:19,499
I appreciate the emphasis in

4624
02:26:19,499 --> 02:26:22,499
getting this place locked into

4625
02:26:23,237 --> 02:26:23,937
place and then begin to think

4626
02:26:23,937 --> 02:26:27,537
about what do we do next?

4627
02:26:27,775 --> 02:26:28,475
Can we leverage this together

4628
02:26:28,475 --> 02:26:31,475
and are funding other grants

4629
02:26:32,179 --> 02:26:33,130
philanthropic philanthropy.

4630
02:26:33,130 --> 02:26:36,613
As council PRESIDENT Pro Tem we

4631
02:26:36,984 --> 02:26:37,685
talked about so we look forward

4632
02:26:37,685 --> 02:26:41,285
to once you start getting into

4633
02:26:41,922 --> 02:26:46,122
the weeds and where you go and

4634
02:26:46,727 --> 02:26:47,695
this is a good day.

4635
02:26:47,695 --> 02:26:48,429
It is a a step in the right

4636
02:26:48,429 --> 02:26:48,762
direction So I'll be supporting

4637
02:26:48,762 --> 02:26:50,762

02:29:49,377 --> 02:29:51,777
Preservation Fund will acquire

4750
02:29:52,781 --> 02:29:53,515

4755
02:29:59,154 --> 02:30:01,154
median income.

4756
02:30:03,825 --> 02:30:04,559
The fund will also preserve at

4757
02:30:04,559 --> 02:30:06,959
risk deed restricted affordable

4759
02:30:08,530 --> 02:30:09,197
of its affordability term.

4760
02:30:09,197 --> 02:30:11,597
It will also prevent

4761
02:30:12,300 --> 02:30:14,300
displacement and leverage

4762
02:30:17,506 --> 02:30:18,206
public and private investment.

4763
02:30:18,206 --> 02:30:18,939

4764
02:30:18,939 --> 02:30:19,574

Anthony Ramos If you can please

come to the front of the room.

4794
02:31:08,490 --> 02:31:09,224
>> Oh, thank you.

4795
02:31:09,224 --> 02:31:10,250
First I'd like to clarify that

4796
02:31:10,250 --> 02:31:13,250
I don't oppose this nor

4797
02:31:13,595 --> 02:31:14,162
the prior motion I spoke

4798
02:31:14,162 --> 02:31:16,162
neutrally about them.

4799
02:31:18,367 --> 02:31:18,967
Secondly, I want to stress that

4800
02:31:18,967 --> 02:31:21,967
our concerns are as you

4801
02:31:23,500 --> 02:31:23,639
yourselves have pointed out,

4802
02:31:23,639 --> 02:31:26,639
the loss of quote unquote

4803
02:31:28,210 --> 02:31:28,977
naturally occurring affordable

4804
02:31:28,977 --> 02:31:29,445
housing could be and could have

4805
02:31:29,445 --> 02:31:31,445
been prevented.

4806
02:31:34,150 --> 02:31:34,382
I'm not here to relitigate

4807
02:31:34,382 --> 02:31:35,184
anything.

4808
02:31:35,184 --> 02:31:39,384
I'm here to stress to you and

4809
02:31:39,721 --> 02:31:40,389
ask you to please moving

4810
02:31:40,389 --> 02:31:43,389
forward listen to those who

4811
02:31:44,659 --> 02:31:45,270
bring a wealth of knowledge and

4812
02:31:45,270 --> 02:31:45,894
research.

4813
02:31:45,894 --> 02:31:49,765
Six years ago we told you that

4814
02:31:49,765 --> 02:31:50,432
commune complete communities

4815
02:31:50,432 --> 02:31:54,320
and more than that the bonus

4816
02:31:54,903 --> 02:31:55,604
edu program were destroying

4817
02:31:55,604 --> 02:31:56,305
naturally occurring affordable

4818
02:31:56,305 --> 02:31:58,705
housing They were destroying.

4819
02:32:00,742 --> 02:32:01,443
Market level entry purchase

4820
02:32:01,443 --> 02:32:04,443
housing by turning those homes

4821
02:32:05,915 --> 02:32:06,581
into rentals and they were

4822
02:32:06,581 --> 02:32:07,249
destroying opportunities for

4823
02:32:07,249 --> 02:32:09,649
truly affordable housing by

4824
02:32:11,987 --> 02:32:12,621
allowing developers to always

4825
02:32:12,621 --> 02:32:15,210
choose the moderate income

4826
02:32:17,693 --> 02:32:20,930
option for their bonus.

4827
02:32:21,263 --> 02:32:22,640
The moderate income option was

4828
02:32:22,640 --> 02:32:25,640
100 and is 110% of the area

4829
02:32:27,303 --> 02:32:28,270
Median income or more than

4830
02:32:28,270 --> 02:32:31,270
$100,000 a year and resulted in

4831
02:32:32,740 --> 02:32:32,641
rents of $2,500 for a 417

4832
02:32:32,641 --> 02:32:34,641
square foot apartment.

4833
02:32:37,746 --> 02:32:38,714
If you had only listened to us

4834
02:32:38,714 --> 02:32:42,852
six years ago and simply took a

4835
02:32:42,852 --> 02:32:43,552
critical look at these two

4836
02:32:43,552 --> 02:32:46,552
programs, you would have saved

4837
02:32:48,357 --> 02:32:48,958
a significant number of

4838
02:32:48,958 --> 02:32:49,291
affordable homes moving

4839
02:32:49,291 --> 02:32:51,291
forward.

4840
02:32:53,429 --> 02:32:54,196
You have the opportunity to

4841
02:32:54,196 --> 02:32:57,196
look critically at with our

4842
02:32:59,669 --> 02:33:00,336
upcoming neighborhood homes for

4843
02:33:00,336 --> 02:33:03,936
All of Us program to ask

4844
02:33:04,506 --> 02:33:05,274
yourself for a viewpoint that

4845
02:33:05,274 --> 02:33:08,874
do not reflect those with money

4846
02:33:11,213 --> 02:33:11,748
and lobbying connections who

4847
02:33:11,748 --> 02:33:12,381
speak with your.

4848
02:33:12,381 --> 02:33:14,781
>> Thank you for including

4849
02:33:19,455 --> 02:33:19,796
sentence at the allegedly ultra

4850
02:33:19,796 --> 02:33:21,796
.

4851
02:33:25,862 --> 02:33:26,395
>> Do you guys smell that It

4852
02:33:26,395 --> 02:33:27,960
smells like gas all

4853
02:33:27,960 --> 02:33:27,730
the gaslighting that you guys

4854
02:33:27,730 --> 02:33:30,130
have done hopefully nobody

4855
02:33:31,834 --> 02:33:32,501
likes imaginative plays will go

4856
02:33:32,501 --> 02:33:33,136
up in flames It's so sad

4857
02:33:33,136 --> 02:33:33,869
because it's like I still

4858
02:33:33,869 --> 02:33:36,269
understand how you're literally

4859
02:33:36,806 --> 02:33:37,507
pretending to preserve anything

4860
02:33:37,507 --> 02:33:40,507
when $8.5 million even if you

4861
02:33:41,744 --> 02:33:42,378
wanted to preserve those 13,000

4862
02:33:42,378 --> 02:33:43,212
units it's like 650 bucks.

4863
02:33:43,212 --> 02:33:46,812
I mean and then you're talking

4864
02:33:47,717 --> 02:33:48,418
about buying these these

4865
02:33:48,418 --> 02:33:49,152
affordable housing units that

4866
02:33:49,152 --> 02:33:49,886
the deed restrictions have gone

4867
02:33:49,886 --> 02:33:53,389
and how you can afford that And

4868
02:33:53,389 --> 02:33:53,723
then who's going to take care

4869
02:33:53,723 --> 02:33:54,356
of it?

4870
02:33:54,356 --> 02:33:55,124
Dreams for change And then

4871
02:33:55,124 --> 02:33:58,528
people will die just like they

4872
02:33:58,528 --> 02:33:59,228
have a tent city to 17 in your

4873
02:33:59,228 --> 02:33:59,729
district Stephen to last week

4874
02:33:59,729 --> 02:34:00,262
How cool is that?

4875
02:34:00,262 --> 02:34:02,262
Thursday and Friday.

4876
02:34:04,434 --> 02:34:05,340
That's so exciting that it's

4877
02:34:05,340 --> 02:34:05,701
just 17 and six months.

4878
02:34:05,701 --> 02:34:06,436
Goodness good thing they're

4879
02:34:06,436 --> 02:34:10,138
open But yeah they would be a

4880
02:34:10,138 --> 02:34:10,873
good people to you know go in

4881
02:34:10,873 --> 02:34:11,374
and take over one of these deed

4882
02:34:11,374 --> 02:34:12,800
restricted units.

4883
02:34:12,800 --> 02:34:15,608
I mean how about you guys

4884
02:34:16,546 --> 02:34:17,547
What's with the 55 years?

4885
02:34:17,547 --> 02:34:17,847
>> Why do we only do it 55

4886
02:34:17,847 --> 02:34:18,581
years?

4887
02:34:18,581 --> 02:34:19,282
So we come to a place like this

4888
02:34:19,282 --> 02:34:19,749
and like oh my gosh, what are

4889
02:34:19,749 --> 02:34:21,618
we going to do?

4890
02:34:21,618 --> 02:34:22,285
Oh dang it, these people are

4891
02:34:22,285 --> 02:34:22,885
going to sell this unit but

4892
02:34:22,885 --> 02:34:23,586
we're going to put in an

4893
02:34:23,586 --> 02:34:26,586
ordinance, We're going to get

4894
02:34:26,589 --> 02:34:27,590
this money and tell people that

4895
02:34:27,590 --> 02:34:28,258
if you pay a fee you don't have

4896
02:34:28,258 --> 02:34:28,958
to create affordable housing

4897
02:34:28,958 --> 02:34:32,695
even when we need it and there

4898
02:34:32,695 --> 02:34:33,429
isn't anything affordable Like

4899
02:34:33,429 --> 02:34:33,997
again you guys sit here and you

4900
02:34:33,997 --> 02:34:34,731
say it's affordable.

4901
02:34:34,731 --> 02:34:38,931
How can it be affordable if you

4902
02:34:42,720 --> 02:34:42,738
have to have a subsidy for it?

4903
02:34:42,738 --> 02:34:43,406
>> Just wondering are we

4904
02:34:43,406 --> 02:34:43,907
redefining this just like we

4905
02:34:43,907 --> 02:34:44,641
did with a woman?

4906
02:34:44,641 --> 02:34:48,241
So now affordable means that as

4907
02:34:48,712 --> 02:34:49,379
long as you have to get all of

4908
02:34:49,379 --> 02:34:50,800
these things to help you pay

4909
02:34:50,800 --> 02:34:53,800
for that means it's affordable

4910
02:34:53,582 --> 02:34:54,317
to you.

4911
02:34:54,317 --> 02:34:55,510
Like you literally get in

4912
02:34:55,510 --> 02:34:55,518
the way of people being able to

4913
02:34:55,518 --> 02:34:57,518
thrive in life.

4914
02:35:00,356 --> 02:35:01,230
It's disgusting because you

4915
02:35:01,230 --> 02:35:01,725
gaslight the people sitting

4916
02:35:01,725 --> 02:35:02,920
here saying like This is good.

4917
02:35:02,920 --> 02:35:04,920
Trust us.

4918
02:35:06,529 --> 02:35:07,397
This is good right?

4919
02:35:07,397 --> 02:35:07,764
This is this is so good.

4920
02:35:07,764 --> 02:35:08,131
So good.

4921
02:35:08,131 --> 02:35:08,799
It's good.

4922
02:35:08,799 --> 02:35:09,165
That's all I can say is that

4923
02:35:09,165 --> 02:35:11,165
it's good.

4924
02:35:15,872 --> 02:35:16,538
Just trust us.

4925
02:35:16,538 --> 02:35:17,307
It's bad for real.

4926
02:35:17,307 --> 02:35:20,307
People are dying at 1030 and

4927
02:35:21,945 --> 02:35:22,245
you guys won't even shut it

4928
02:35:22,245 --> 02:35:23,130
down.

4929
02:35:23,130 --> 02:35:23,780
>> You won't even do anything.

4930
02:35:23,780 --> 02:35:26,780
But yet you're in litigation

4931
02:35:30,487 --> 02:35:31,188
with Anthony Robles.

4932
02:35:31,188 --> 02:35:33,588
Good afternoon, City Council.

4933
02:35:36,960 --> 02:35:37,627
I wanted to start by thinking

4934
02:35:37,627 --> 02:35:38,361
Vivian Moreno for explaining

4935
02:35:38,361 --> 02:35:41,361
exactly what the ordinance does

4936
02:35:42,866 --> 02:35:43,566
and how one of them establishes

4937
02:35:43,566 --> 02:35:44,201
the procedure and one of them

4938
02:35:44,201 --> 02:35:46,601
helps fund the procedure.

4939
02:35:48,738 --> 02:35:49,538
I want to thank Kent Lee for

4940
02:35:49,538 --> 02:35:50,239
explaining that as well to add

4941
02:35:50,239 --> 02:35:53,239
that both of your explanations

4942
02:35:54,111 --> 02:35:54,811
made a really what was what it

4943
02:35:54,811 --> 02:35:55,545
was a complicated issue that I

4944
02:35:55,545 --> 02:35:57,945
didn't understand really helped

4945
02:35:59,549 --> 02:36:00,250
It really helps break it down

4946
02:36:00,250 --> 02:36:00,851
so that I could understand it

4947
02:36:00,851 --> 02:36:01,418
in terms that were more

4948
02:36:01,418 --> 02:36:04,418
palpable And now it is

4949
02:36:05,856 --> 02:36:06,156
something that I fully support

4950
02:36:06,156 --> 02:36:06,890
.

4951
02:36:06,890 --> 02:36:07,624
I am thankful, MISS Campbell

4952
02:36:07,624 --> 02:36:10,624
for your input, your historical

4953
02:36:11,295 --> 02:36:12,610
input.

4954
02:36:12,610 --> 02:36:12,763
I really appreciate you sharing

4955
02:36:12,763 --> 02:36:15,763
that expertise with regard to

4956
02:36:18,435 --> 02:36:19,202
the context of the governance

4957
02:36:19,202 --> 02:36:19,902
of the 55 year lease and how

4958
02:36:19,902 --> 02:36:20,571
any expire We have to renew

4959
02:36:20,571 --> 02:36:23,607
them and we have to have

4960
02:36:23,607 --> 02:36:24,374
the funds to renew them.

4961
02:36:24,374 --> 02:36:25,750
Every time I come to city

4962
02:36:25,750 --> 02:36:25,742
council it's always humbling.

4963
02:36:25,742 --> 02:36:26,430
There's always stuff that I

4964
02:36:26,430 --> 02:36:28,430
learn.

4965
02:36:29,913 --> 02:36:30,580
I show up wanting to oppose

4966
02:36:30,580 --> 02:36:31,548
block and then I learn about

4967
02:36:31,548 --> 02:36:35,748
tons more issues that I had no

4968
02:36:35,986 --> 02:36:36,553
idea existed and had no idea

4969
02:36:36,553 --> 02:36:37,220
how to even interpret.

4970
02:36:37,220 --> 02:36:40,820
So I'm grateful for the work

4971
02:36:41,424 --> 02:36:43,424
that's done here.

4972
02:36:46,764 --> 02:36:47,665
And I also want to acknowledge

4973
02:36:47,665 --> 02:36:51,265
the cynicism and the lack of

4974
02:36:53,303 --> 02:36:54,400
trust that comes from repeated

4975
02:36:54,400 --> 02:36:56,404
public engagement and feeling

4976
02:36:59,309 --> 02:37:03,509
like there is a what's the word

4977
02:37:05,683 --> 02:37:06,383
I'm looking for It was in

4978
02:37:06,383 --> 02:37:07,170
packet It was left behind

4979
02:37:07,170 --> 02:37:09,417
somebody they were talking

4980
02:37:11,121 --> 02:37:11,689
about a planning group and they

4981
02:37:11,689 --> 02:37:12,389
were talking about how

4982
02:37:12,389 --> 02:37:13,123
the planning groups don't feel

4983
02:37:13,123 --> 02:37:13,557
like they have an adequate seat

4984
02:37:13,557 --> 02:37:14,223
at the table.

4985
02:37:14,223 --> 02:37:17,161
It was the first agenda item

4986
02:37:17,161 --> 02:37:17,861
unfortunately I was not here

4987
02:37:17,861 --> 02:37:18,562
for it for that discussion But

4988
02:37:18,562 --> 02:37:22,162
the point that was raised they

4989
02:37:22,967 --> 02:37:23,767
mentioned it in the letter that

4990
02:37:23,767 --> 02:37:24,501
was left behind I feel like it

4991
02:37:24,501 --> 02:37:25,269
probably got a copy of it but

4992
02:37:25,269 --> 02:37:28,269
it was mentioning how sometimes

4993
02:37:29,306 --> 02:37:30,700
it feels like we don't have

4994
02:37:30,700 --> 02:37:30,608
enough of a seat at the table

4995
02:37:30,608 --> 02:37:33,608
to really have the input

4996
02:37:37,470 --> 02:37:37,681
necessary to be qualified.

4997
02:37:37,681 --> 02:37:38,415
>> Honestly thank you for

4998
02:37:38,415 --> 02:37:39,116
completing that either by going

4999
02:37:39,116 --> 02:37:40,840
to time or going to those

5000
02:37:40,840 --> 02:37:40,951
participating remotely Starting

5001
02:37:40,951 --> 02:37:44,551
with Hector If you can please

5002
02:37:46,891 --> 02:37:47,291
unmute.

5003
02:37:47,291 --> 02:37:48,580
All right.

5004
02:37:48,580 --> 02:37:51,562
This one is probably going to

5005
02:37:51,562 --> 02:37:52,229
be the Supreme Court Supreme

5006
02:37:52,229 --> 02:37:52,963
Court ruling just came down

5007
02:37:52,963 --> 02:37:55,963
with temporary legal status has

5008
02:37:58,350 --> 02:37:58,369
been revoked for a million

5009
02:37:58,369 --> 02:37:59,360
people.

5010
02:37:59,360 --> 02:38:02,360
So anybody that's got their

5011
02:38:03,808 --> 02:38:04,608
legal status revoked and send

5012
02:38:04,608 --> 02:38:08,208
your county has got to leave.

5013
02:38:09,680 --> 02:38:10,348
So make sure that the roles

5014
02:38:10,348 --> 02:38:11,820
the roles of the buildings

5015
02:38:11,820 --> 02:38:11,581
don't have any illegals in them

5016
02:38:11,581 --> 02:38:13,981
to have to leave.

5017
02:38:15,352 --> 02:38:16,190
So that would that would clear

5018
02:38:16,190 --> 02:38:16,721
up housing problem but that

5019
02:38:16,721 --> 02:38:20,321
would put in more spaces for

5020
02:38:21,626 --> 02:38:22,326
rent like even 100,000 people

5021
02:38:22,326 --> 02:38:25,326
are living here illegally work

5022
02:38:26,931 --> 02:38:27,231
on that problem to deport them

5023
02:38:27,231 --> 02:38:28,640
.

5024
02:38:28,640 --> 02:38:28,799
That will open up a lot of

5025
02:38:28,799 --> 02:38:29,500
housing, affordable housing and

5026
02:38:29,500 --> 02:38:32,500
even some millionaire guys who

5027
02:38:33,471 --> 02:38:34,338
are here illegally.

5028
02:38:34,338 --> 02:38:34,605
So that'd be a good reason to

5029
02:38:34,605 --> 02:38:36,605
do.

5030
02:38:39,342 --> 02:38:40,440
And then about I'm all for

5031
02:38:40,440 --> 02:38:43,644
the mayor of Barrio Logan for

5032
02:38:45,149 --> 02:38:45,883
the new mayor to get some Tesla

5033
02:38:45,883 --> 02:38:48,883
charging stations down there by

5034
02:38:51,210 --> 02:38:51,755
the railroad tracks and get

5035
02:38:51,755 --> 02:38:52,390
the banana company to get those

5036
02:38:52,390 --> 02:38:54,790
Tesla trucks, the electric

5037
02:38:57,562 --> 02:38:58,261
trucks are flying off

5038
02:38:58,261 --> 02:38:58,996
the shelves the time companies

5039
02:38:58,996 --> 02:39:02,899
are buying them And the Dow guy

5040
02:39:02,899 --> 02:39:03,634
could set up a thing down there

5041
02:39:03,634 --> 02:39:04,202
to charge these trucks and give

5042
02:39:04,202 --> 02:39:06,602
the revenue to Barrio

5043
02:39:08,906 --> 02:39:09,607
the Barrio Logan Don't let

5044
02:39:09,607 --> 02:39:10,274
the city get the revenue Have

5045
02:39:10,274 --> 02:39:13,274
the barrio get that revenue

5046
02:39:13,811 --> 02:39:14,478
Like maybe it'd be like 500,000

5047
02:39:14,478 --> 02:39:17,478
a month doing the charging

5048
02:39:20,418 --> 02:39:21,185
station down there in battery

5049
02:39:21,185 --> 02:39:21,986
thing that would be and guys

5050
02:39:21,986 --> 02:39:25,586
could live there and watch it

5051
02:39:26,230 --> 02:39:26,724
The barrio could I mention it

5052
02:39:26,724 --> 02:39:29,724
doesn't get tagged They could

5053
02:39:30,328 --> 02:39:30,962
provide security but no one

5054
02:39:30,962 --> 02:39:31,662
ever tags the girls under

5055
02:39:31,662 --> 02:39:34,662
the bridge right where they're

5056
02:39:37,168 --> 02:39:37,769
tagging their neighborhood in

5057
02:39:37,769 --> 02:39:38,169
District four but not in

5058
02:39:38,169 --> 02:39:40,169
the barrio.

5059
02:39:43,140 --> 02:39:43,842
Logan Nobody tags the murals

5060
02:39:43,842 --> 02:39:44,509
because they provide security

5061
02:39:44,509 --> 02:39:44,942
for their own stuff so that

5062
02:39:44,942 --> 02:39:46,942
would be cool.

5063
02:39:48,780 --> 02:39:51,180
Okay But thank you.

5064
02:39:54,786 --> 02:39:55,860
Next is Jonathan please on you

5065
02:39:55,860 --> 02:39:55,386
.

5066
02:39:55,386 --> 02:39:56,220
Hi.

5067
02:39:56,220 --> 02:39:57,870
I just wanted to make sure that

5068
02:39:57,870 --> 02:40:00,591
it was understood with my prior

5069
02:40:00,591 --> 02:40:01,326
comments that we do support

5070
02:40:01,326 --> 02:40:01,659
the effort to retain affordable

5071
02:40:01,659 --> 02:40:03,659
housing.

5072
02:40:06,598 --> 02:40:07,298
The frustration that we're

5073
02:40:07,298 --> 02:40:07,965
having is whether or not you

5074
02:40:07,965 --> 02:40:09,965
know, there's 320 households

5075
02:40:12,137 --> 02:40:12,837
that were on a used that are

5076
02:40:12,837 --> 02:40:13,672
going to see those vouchers go

5077
02:40:13,672 --> 02:40:17,872
away and they will not at this

5078
02:40:18,276 --> 02:40:18,977
point as we understand it, have

5079
02:40:18,977 --> 02:40:19,444
a place for them or their

5080
02:40:19,444 --> 02:40:21,444
families to go.

5081
02:40:22,213 --> 02:40:25,213
So that's almost 2000 people I

5082
02:40:27,953 --> 02:40:28,653
you've got that You've got

5083
02:40:28,653 --> 02:40:29,254
the loss of food stamps where

5084
02:40:29,254 --> 02:40:29,955
people who are living on

5085
02:40:29,955 --> 02:40:30,621
the streets there's some sort

5086
02:40:30,621 --> 02:40:33,621
of insanity that people are

5087
02:40:35,126 --> 02:40:35,894
going to be believe that those

5088
02:40:35,894 --> 02:40:39,300
folks are going to be able to

5089
02:40:39,300 --> 02:40:39,530
get a job or are volunteer for

5090
02:40:39,530 --> 02:40:40,165
20 hours a week.

5091
02:40:40,165 --> 02:40:40,899
Clearly this is something

5092
02:40:40,899 --> 02:40:44,499
designed by people that have no

5093
02:40:44,902 --> 02:40:45,503
idea and now on top of it in

5094
02:40:45,503 --> 02:40:46,238
the city where we've had

5095
02:40:46,238 --> 02:40:48,638
multiple outbreaks amongst this

5096
02:40:50,642 --> 02:40:51,343
population because of a lack of

5097
02:40:51,343 --> 02:40:53,743
sanitation, we're taking half

5098
02:40:56,314 --> 02:40:57,181
or more of the toilets offline

5099
02:40:57,181 --> 02:40:57,883
that are available to them at a

5100
02:40:57,883 --> 02:41:00,883
time where they're needed most

5101
02:41:02,587 --> 02:41:03,288
on top of a place to clean

5102
02:41:03,288 --> 02:41:03,688
their stuff, to relax and not

5103
02:41:03,688 --> 02:41:04,389
be harassed.

5104
02:41:04,389 --> 02:41:06,789
>> Remember we just talked

5105
02:41:08,360 --> 02:41:08,660
about people investing in

5106
02:41:08,660 --> 02:41:09,328
parks.

5107
02:41:09,328 --> 02:41:10,610
People who are experiencing

5108
02:41:10,610 --> 02:41:13,661
homelessness can't even go to a

5109
02:41:14,632 --> 02:41:15,434
park without being harassed

5110
02:41:15,434 --> 02:41:16,168
here And I'll say that And now

5111
02:41:16,168 --> 02:41:19,768
that I've experienced it I will

5112
02:41:20,639 --> 02:41:21,340
never again allow to stand up

5113
02:41:21,340 --> 02:41:22,400
and help somebody who the city

5114
02:41:22,400 --> 02:41:25,400
cannot help when they've been

5115
02:41:26,278 --> 02:41:29,878
evicted because now my rv has

5116
02:41:31,182 --> 02:41:31,950
been targeted and I got one

5117
02:41:31,950 --> 02:41:32,684
morning and now I have $175

5118
02:41:32,684 --> 02:41:36,588
ticket and I have left that rv

5119
02:41:36,588 --> 02:41:37,356
as needed out on the overpass

5120
02:41:37,356 --> 02:41:38,222
nearby my home for years But

5121
02:41:38,222 --> 02:41:41,822
since it got tagged now we're

And I wish I could talk to you

5156
02:43:13,552 --> 02:43:16,552
about which projects are exempt

5157
02:43:17,956 --> 02:43:18,224
from those we don't qualify

5158
02:43:18,224 --> 02:43:18,890
for.

5159
02:43:18,890 --> 02:43:19,525
The ordinance said that it's

5160
02:43:19,525 --> 02:43:21,525
brilliant These financial

5161
02:43:24,363 --> 02:43:25,970
solutions are brilliant and why

5162
02:43:25,970 --> 02:43:28,970
can't I understand the movement

5163
02:43:30,902 --> 02:43:31,203
of the funds on both of these

5164
02:43:31,203 --> 02:43:31,603
items?

5165
02:43:31,603 --> 02:43:33,603
Why can't I?

5166
02:43:36,676 --> 02:43:37,444
I look at I look at I look at

I'll say that.

5169
02:43:38,578 --> 02:43:39,245
But why can't we understand

5170
02:43:39,245 --> 02:43:42,181
what you're doing with these

5171
02:43:42,181 --> 02:43:42,848
funds in the past and now And

5172
02:43:42,848 --> 02:43:45,848
what was the companion item?

5173
02:43:47,786 --> 02:43:48,254
I thought they were called a

5174
02:43:48,254 --> 02:43:48,921
companion item.

5175
02:43:48,921 --> 02:43:52,521
I'm just lost in the shuffle

5176
02:43:53,326 --> 02:43:53,992

you are having technical

5183
02:44:15,715 --> 02:44:16,490
difficulties there could be

5184
02:44:16,490 --> 02:44:16,682

It's working now.

5190
02:44:20,920 --> 02:44:21,854
Yeah.

5191
02:44:21,854 --> 02:44:25,454
I wanted to comment that I

5192
02:44:27,250 --> 02:44:27,560
enjoyed watching Councilperson

5193
02:44:27,560 --> 02:44:28,294
Moreno and and their

5194
02:44:28,294 --> 02:44:31,294
conversations over the past few

5195
02:44:33,466 --> 02:44:34,167
months Now it's been really

5196
02:44:34,167 --> 02:44:34,900
engaging I think what they're

5197
02:44:34,900 --> 02:44:38,500
talking about it seems like But

5198
02:44:38,871 --> 02:44:39,572
hopefully they can make

5199
02:44:39,572 --> 02:44:40,273
the arrangements to to listen

5200
02:44:40,273 --> 02:44:40,940
more to public comment during

5201
02:44:40,940 --> 02:44:43,940
public comment time as well.

5202
02:44:48,314 --> 02:44:49,215
I wanted to comment that yeah

5203
02:44:49,215 --> 02:44:53,415
this item as it can work with

5204
02:44:54,120 --> 02:44:54,821
the baby asylum I thought of

5205
02:44:54,821 --> 02:44:55,522
ideas I thought of a community

5206
02:44:55,522 --> 02:44:59,122
land trust ideas and how well

5207
02:45:00,826 --> 02:45:01,561
that can be working these items

5208
02:45:01,561 --> 02:45:01,828
and what the future of that can

5209
02:45:01,828 --> 02:45:03,828
be.

5210
02:45:06,132 --> 02:45:06,799
I've always been a really

5211
02:45:06,799 --> 02:45:07,500
important point that within

5212
02:45:07,500 --> 02:45:11,100
this if we have a consistent

5213
02:45:12,806 --> 02:45:13,473
pattern in how we fund our in

5214
02:45:13,473 --> 02:45:15,873
movies developers then know

5215
02:45:17,811 --> 02:45:18,544
what to expect and we can be

5216
02:45:18,544 --> 02:45:19,144
very very clear in the concepts

5217
02:45:19,144 --> 02:45:21,544
of what truly affordable

5218
02:45:24,417 --> 02:45:25,185
housing can be about and they

5219
02:45:25,185 --> 02:45:25,852
can be clear as well And they

5220
02:45:25,852 --> 02:45:26,553
all understand the rules of

5221
02:45:26,553 --> 02:45:30,422
the road a lot easier and be

5222
02:45:30,422 --> 02:45:31,124
more giving I think to be more

5223
02:45:31,124 --> 02:45:31,758
understanding of what is good

5224
02:45:31,758 --> 02:45:34,158
policy and good practices

5225
02:45:36,563 --> 02:45:37,297
instead of the continual casino

5226
02:45:37,297 --> 02:45:40,897
that we usually practice that I

5227
02:45:42,702 --> 02:45:43,436
agree work sometimes but other

5228
02:45:43,436 --> 02:45:44,103
times we just get really really

5229
02:45:44,103 --> 02:45:44,804
confused and everybody gets

5230
02:45:44,804 --> 02:45:48,404
lost and hate each other from

5231
02:45:49,750 --> 02:45:49,775
it, you know And then they say

5232
02:45:49,775 --> 02:45:50,477
I don't want to ever support

5233
02:45:50,477 --> 02:45:51,770
for affordable housing again,

5234
02:45:51,770 --> 02:45:51,778
you know And when you go

5235
02:45:51,778 --> 02:45:54,614
through that whole pattern and

5236
02:45:54,614 --> 02:45:55,215
trip instead of just having a

5237
02:45:55,215 --> 02:45:55,916
nice steady way or just

5238
02:45:55,916 --> 02:45:58,316
consistently, you know, doing

5239
02:46:01,555 --> 02:46:02,288
the best practices and I hope

5240
02:46:02,288 --> 02:46:02,688
you can be working towards that

5241
02:46:02,688 --> 02:46:03,390
To conclude.

5242
02:46:03,390 --> 02:46:04,570

02:46:04,570 --> 02:46:07,570

affordable housing.

02:46:08,940 --> 02:46:08,729
It's really it's importance And

5246
02:46:08,729 --> 02:46:09,196
can I mention mixed income

5247
02:46:09,196 --> 02:46:11,196
ideas and ideas?

5248
02:46:13,666 --> 02:46:14,301
How can we work towards new

5249
02:46:14,301 --> 02:46:15,350
ideas of mixed income that

5250
02:46:15,350 --> 02:46:18,538
offers a lot of flexibility and

5251
02:46:18,538 --> 02:46:19,500
choices in our efforts?

5252
02:46:19,500 --> 02:46:19,706
>> Thank you.

5253
02:46:19,706 --> 02:46:22,706

5254
02:46:24,311 --> 02:46:24,845
on this item.

5255
02:46:24,845 --> 02:46:25,212

establish the Affordable

5266
02:46:37,624 --> 02:46:38,358

after that is Anthony Ralphs.

5593
02:56:39,463 --> 02:56:43,630
>> Just because I wish that you

5594
02:56:43,600 --> 02:56:44,401
guys did all these things that

5595
02:56:44,401 --> 02:56:48,171
you talk about like you do good

5596
02:56:48,171 --> 02:56:48,872
presentations and whatnot But I

5597
02:56:48,872 --> 02:56:49,506
mean it's scary to think about

5598
02:56:49,506 --> 02:56:51,906
where this youth homeless

5599
02:56:53,143 --> 02:56:57,343
funding is going to go When you

5600
02:56:57,581 --> 02:56:58,248
give out money you you don't

5601
02:56:58,248 --> 02:56:58,915
ensure that it's being used

5602
02:56:58,915 --> 02:56:59,349
properly, that people aren't

5603
02:56:59,349 --> 02:57:01,349
being abused.

5604
02:57:03,120 --> 02:57:03,986
I mean, again, I'm going to

5605
02:57:03,986 --> 02:57:07,791
bring up Tent City and Lot and

5606
02:57:07,791 --> 02:57:11,862
the fact that like I don't know

5607
02:57:11,862 --> 02:57:12,729
the exact number but it's close

5608
02:57:12,729 --> 02:57:16,329
to 40 people have died at Tent

5609
02:57:17,634 --> 02:57:18,402
City since it's in session.

5610
02:57:18,402 --> 02:57:19,680
And Sean, you said you were

5611
02:57:19,680 --> 02:57:21,972
even going to look into it.

5612
02:57:21,972 --> 02:57:22,606
You said you care about

5613
02:57:22,606 --> 02:57:22,973
homeless, that you've been

5614
02:57:22,973 --> 02:57:24,973
homeless.

5615
02:57:26,376 --> 02:57:26,977
Why doesn't it matter that

5616
02:57:26,977 --> 02:57:27,678
those people are dying?

5617
02:57:27,678 --> 02:57:31,278
Why does it matter that Ciara

5618
02:57:31,348 --> 02:57:32,115
died on Friday?

5619
02:57:32,115 --> 02:57:32,683
Why does it matter that people

5620
02:57:32,683 --> 02:57:35,830
are being raped there?

5621
02:57:36,653 --> 02:57:37,321
They're like there's rats and

5622
02:57:37,321 --> 02:57:37,955
infestations but people are

5623
02:57:37,955 --> 02:57:40,355
losing their lives there.

5624
02:57:41,424 --> 02:57:42,920
And I just I really don't

5625
02:57:42,920 --> 02:57:42,893
understand why someone like

5626
02:57:42,893 --> 02:57:46,663
Steven will I get why he would

5627
02:57:46,663 --> 02:57:47,531
Because he's an arrogant son of

5628
02:57:47,531 --> 02:57:50,667
a And that's why he laughed in

5629
02:57:50,667 --> 02:57:51,435
my face when Tammy died and why

5630
02:57:51,435 --> 02:57:55,350
he doesn't give a that this

5631
02:57:55,706 --> 02:57:56,473
older woman died on Thursday

5632
02:57:56,473 --> 02:57:59,977
and a woman named Sierra died

5633
02:57:59,977 --> 02:58:00,543
on Friday.

5634
02:58:00,543 --> 02:58:01,312
How many more?

5635
02:58:01,312 --> 02:58:01,678
I've asked you guys this for

5636
02:58:01,678 --> 02:58:03,678
years now.

5637
02:58:05,282 --> 02:58:06,830
How many people is enough that

5638
02:58:06,830 --> 02:58:09,830
you will do something about

5639
02:58:10,788 --> 02:58:14,388
tent City Bro What's the number

5640
02:58:15,326 --> 02:58:16,600
Is 100 Is it You know like what

5641
02:58:16,600 --> 02:58:16,794
What is is that threshold where

5642
02:58:16,794 --> 02:58:19,930
it's like oh that death really

5643
02:58:19,930 --> 02:58:20,531
matters Where we really should

5644
02:58:20,531 --> 02:58:22,931
do something about that.

5645
02:58:24,768 --> 02:58:25,536
I mean you're in litigation

5646
02:58:25,536 --> 02:58:26,236
federal court for it and you

5647
02:58:26,236 --> 02:58:28,873

5648
02:58:28,873 --> 02:58:29,440
response today and we'll see

5649
02:58:29,440 --> 02:58:31,840
what what you've said.

5650
02:58:34,278 --> 02:58:37,881
But how many is enough I guess

5651
02:58:37,881 --> 02:58:39,850
if it's not your child it

5652
02:58:39,850 --> 02:58:41,850
doesn't matter.

5653
02:58:44,755 --> 02:58:46,755
>> Anthony Robles.

5654
02:58:49,260 --> 02:58:51,660
>> Afternoon City Council I

5655
02:58:54,732 --> 02:58:55,433

5658
02:58:59,437 --> 02:59:00,104
Thankful for all

5659
02:59:00,104 --> 02:59:00,638
the information that's been

5660
02:59:00,638 --> 02:59:02,638
brought forth today.

5661
02:59:04,408 --> 02:59:05,109
Um I do have concerns as a

5662
02:59:05,109 --> 02:59:08,679
member of the public with some

5663
02:59:08,679 --> 02:59:09,413
of the oversight with regard to

5664
02:59:09,413 --> 02:59:13,130
some of these facilities has as

5665
02:59:13,250 --> 02:59:14,118
has been mentioned by Audra.

5666
02:59:14,118 --> 02:59:14,485
I would hope that we could look

5667
02:59:14,485 --> 02:59:15,319
into that.

5668
02:59:15,319 --> 02:59:18,522
I'd hope that we could be more

5669
02:59:18,522 --> 02:59:19,156
accountable with the funds, how

5670
02:59:19,156 --> 02:59:19,857
these funds are spent and

5671
02:59:19,857 --> 02:59:22,257
ultimately how these services

5672
02:59:23,360 --> 02:59:24,950
are delivered to the people.

5673
02:59:24,950 --> 02:59:24,796
I have no problem with these

5674
02:59:24,796 --> 02:59:27,796
funds going to these programs

5675
02:59:28,365 --> 02:59:28,665
and helping people that need

5676
02:59:28,665 --> 02:59:29,433
help.

5677
02:59:29,433 --> 02:59:32,837
I would just hope that we could

5678
02:59:32,837 --> 02:59:33,537
follow up on the oversight and

5679
02:59:33,537 --> 02:59:34,172
the supervision and make sure

5680
02:59:34,172 --> 02:59:37,172
that these programs are as

5681
02:59:37,475 --> 02:59:37,842
effective in helping people as

5682
02:59:37,842 --> 02:59:38,575
possible.

5683
02:59:38,575 --> 02:59:42,580
With regard to the point that I

5684
02:59:42,580 --> 02:59:43,314
was trying to make earlier,

5685
02:59:43,314 --> 02:59:43,948
there's a San Diego community

5686
02:59:43,948 --> 02:59:44,615
planner's committee letter

5687
02:59:44,615 --> 02:59:44,915
probably was left for all of

5688
02:59:44,915 --> 02:59:46,915
y'all.

5689
02:59:47,418 --> 02:59:48,152
And it says these organization

5690
02:59:48,152 --> 02:59:50,552
organizations exist and provide

5691
02:59:52,390 --> 02:59:52,990
a meaningful pathway into local

5692
02:59:52,990 --> 02:59:53,590
government talking about

5693
02:59:53,590 --> 02:59:55,990
the importance of having

5694
02:59:56,460 --> 02:59:57,161
members of planning groups

5695
02:59:57,161 --> 02:59:57,928
participate in the discussions

5696
02:59:57,928 --> 03:00:01,528
and how we serve as liaison

5697
03:00:01,799 --> 03:00:02,500
between some of the policies

5698
03:00:02,500 --> 03:00:03,200
that are implemented here and

5699
03:00:03,200 --> 03:00:06,370
members of the general public

5700
03:00:06,370 --> 03:00:06,670
understanding some of

5701
03:00:06,670 --> 03:00:07,380
the policies that you all

5702
03:00:07,380 --> 03:00:07,705
implement.

5703
03:00:07,705 --> 03:00:10,642
I know that this was already

5704
03:00:10,642 --> 03:00:11,409
discussed in Item se for a one

5705
03:00:11,409 --> 03:00:12,109
but I just wanted to address it

5706
03:00:12,109 --> 03:00:15,109
now within the context of

5707
03:00:15,313 --> 03:00:15,980
saying we can provide that

5708
03:00:15,980 --> 03:00:18,980
opportunity to help some of

5709
03:00:20,500 --> 03:00:20,751
these issues become more better

5710
03:00:20,751 --> 03:00:21,386
known to the public especially

5711
03:00:21,386 --> 03:00:21,785
with regard to the Housing

5712
03:00:21,785 --> 03:00:23,785
Commission.

5713
03:00:24,856 --> 03:00:25,223
The grants, the agreements that

5714
03:00:25,223 --> 03:00:25,924
are made.

5715
03:00:25,924 --> 03:00:29,194
But it's in our best interest

5716
03:00:29,194 --> 03:00:32,794
to have you all support with

5717
03:00:34,198 --> 03:00:34,866
regard to the human rights

5718
03:00:34,866 --> 03:00:35,533
issues, the privacy issues,

5719
03:00:35,533 --> 03:00:36,634
the constitutional amendment

5720
03:00:36,634 --> 03:00:39,634
issues this morning the Supreme

5721
03:00:41,940 --> 03:00:42,607
Court handed down a decision

5722
03:00:42,607 --> 03:00:43,408
with regard to all of our

5723
03:00:43,408 --> 03:00:46,408
privacy concerns with regard to

5724
03:00:47,110 --> 03:00:47,745
our location database tracking.

5725
03:00:47,745 --> 03:00:51,345
I will mention that and non

5726
03:00:51,616 --> 03:00:52,283
agenda public comment thank you

5727
03:00:52,283 --> 03:00:52,784
started the five minute time

5728
03:00:52,784 --> 03:00:55,184
are going to those

5729
03:00:56,788 --> 03:00:57,555
participating remotely Hector

5730
03:00:57,555 --> 03:01:00,792
if you can please unmute after

5731
03:01:00,792 --> 03:01:01,126
that is 8700 and then Blair

5732
03:01:01,126 --> 03:01:01,793
Beekman.

5733
03:01:01,793 --> 03:01:04,793
>> It's great for you guys

5734
03:01:05,363 --> 03:01:06,264
pursue all the grants it's

5735
03:01:06,264 --> 03:01:06,931
great man Just get on some more

5736
03:01:06,931 --> 03:01:09,331
grants It also throughout

5737
03:01:09,767 --> 03:01:13,367
the city but there's also like

5738
03:01:14,773 --> 03:01:15,740
been talk about taxing the rich

5739
03:01:15,740 --> 03:01:16,474
so if you want to tax I'm all

5740
03:01:16,474 --> 03:01:19,177
for taxing the rich politicians

5741
03:01:19,177 --> 03:01:22,177
like Scott Peters has got $600

5742
03:01:23,348 --> 03:01:24,115
Million on Google and Sarah

5743
03:01:24,115 --> 03:01:27,115
Jacobs got 60 million But she's

5744
03:01:28,553 --> 03:01:29,254
related to MR. Jacobs who's got

5745
03:01:29,254 --> 03:01:29,521
like a trillion I wouldn't tax

5746
03:01:29,521 --> 03:01:31,521
him.

5747
03:01:33,692 --> 03:01:34,359
Let's just put a tax on

5748
03:01:34,359 --> 03:01:34,892
the wealthy politicians that

5749
03:01:34,892 --> 03:01:37,292
are in our purview.

5750
03:01:38,830 --> 03:01:39,598
You and maybe just that million

5751
03:01:39,598 --> 03:01:43,198
dollars a year to go to

5752
03:01:43,301 --> 03:01:46,901
the housing fund and see how

5753
03:01:47,839 --> 03:01:48,906
they like it will set the rich

5754
03:01:48,906 --> 03:01:51,843
politician as $10 Million So if

5755
03:01:51,843 --> 03:01:52,611
you got 10 million you should

5756
03:01:52,611 --> 03:01:56,211
be able to afford not counting

5757
03:01:58,749 --> 03:01:59,484
your house like you other house

5758
03:01:59,484 --> 03:02:00,452
and the lawyer that is down But

5759
03:02:00,452 --> 03:02:03,452
if you got 10 million somewhere

5760
03:02:03,888 --> 03:02:04,756
that's called rich and we'll

5761
03:02:04,756 --> 03:02:08,356
just put $1 million a year tax

5762
03:02:08,660 --> 03:02:09,461
on the politicians and even

5763
03:02:09,461 --> 03:02:10,128
some of your cronies below you,

5764
03:02:10,128 --> 03:02:13,128
they might be sitting there

5765
03:02:13,531 --> 03:02:14,499
talking to people.

5766
03:02:14,499 --> 03:02:18,169
They might be loaded no kind of

5767
03:02:18,169 --> 03:02:19,370
trust fund kids or something.

5768
03:02:19,370 --> 03:02:21,437
But anyway that's what

5769
03:02:21,773 --> 03:02:22,474
the Housing Commission just one

5770
03:02:22,474 --> 03:02:26,740
house set a time target one

5771
03:02:27,111 --> 03:02:27,746
house and try to make it work.

5772
03:02:27,746 --> 03:02:30,746
However the grants flow or

5773
03:02:31,850 --> 03:02:32,584
the people that live there see

5774
03:02:32,584 --> 03:02:32,951
what happens and just one house

5775
03:02:32,951 --> 03:02:34,951
at a time.

5776
03:02:36,889 --> 03:02:37,622
It's it's going to be hard to

5777
03:02:37,622 --> 03:02:40,622
compete with guys with billions

5778
03:02:41,160 --> 03:02:41,693
of dollars and to them it's

5779
03:02:41,693 --> 03:02:42,294
just a candy store.

5780
03:02:42,294 --> 03:02:44,694
They're looking at that

5781
03:02:45,998 --> 03:02:46,631
property and it's going to be

5782
03:02:46,631 --> 03:02:50,231
hard for the city to match

5783
03:02:50,469 --> 03:02:51,336
the funds or it's going to be a

5784
03:02:51,336 --> 03:02:51,670
kind of it's going to be hard

5785
03:02:51,670 --> 03:02:52,539
to do.

5786
03:02:52,539 --> 03:02:55,641
The guys are paying them double

5787
03:02:55,641 --> 03:02:56,141
What you guys are paying

5788
03:02:56,141 --> 03:02:58,141
Anyway, good luck.

5789
03:02:59,444 --> 03:03:01,844
>> 8700 If you can please

5790
03:03:09,320 --> 03:03:12,320
unmute Joy Senator thank you.

5791
03:03:12,990 --> 03:03:13,759
San Diego Housing Commission I

5792
03:03:13,759 --> 03:03:17,359
love grants and I have been

5793
03:03:17,930 --> 03:03:18,530
concerned about grants due to

5794
03:03:18,530 --> 03:03:21,530
the way things have been

5795
03:03:22,968 --> 03:03:23,602
unfolding the last few years So

5796
03:03:23,602 --> 03:03:26,602
it looks like you're doing

5797
03:03:27,339 --> 03:03:28,140
better with the competitive

5798
03:03:28,140 --> 03:03:29,800
grants because at one point I

5799
03:03:29,800 --> 03:03:32,311
thought we were going to form a

5800
03:03:32,311 --> 03:03:33,112
working group and analyze what

5801
03:03:33,112 --> 03:03:36,112
was happening on our not

5802
03:03:37,449 --> 03:03:38,170
getting competitive grants and

5803
03:03:38,170 --> 03:03:38,717
that never did happen.

5804
03:03:38,717 --> 03:03:42,221
I don't know what happened to

5805
03:03:42,221 --> 03:03:42,955
that working group But anyway

5806
03:03:42,955 --> 03:03:46,555
it looks like things are really

5807
03:03:47,590 --> 03:03:47,326
so that applied in a very good

5808
03:03:47,326 --> 03:03:48,270
way.

5809
03:03:48,270 --> 03:03:51,627
So thank you very much San

5810
03:03:51,897 --> 03:03:52,597
Diego Housing Commission for

5811
03:03:52,597 --> 03:03:56,797
that and keep up the work when

5812
03:03:56,836 --> 03:03:57,669
we have that other item today

5813
03:03:57,669 --> 03:04:01,269
on on the Opportunity Fund I

5814
03:04:02,700 --> 03:04:05,607
was surprised to see that list

5815
03:04:06,711 --> 03:04:07,480
Nine of the people on that list

5816
03:04:07,480 --> 03:04:11,800
had zero grant money come in.

5817
03:04:12,285 --> 03:04:16,622
So you know, I think it is it's

5818
03:04:16,622 --> 03:04:17,389
much less and that's sad.

5819
03:04:17,389 --> 03:04:20,389
So hopefully that will change

5820
03:04:21,460 --> 03:04:22,194
and philanthropists to me are

5821
03:04:22,194 --> 03:04:25,194
definitely invited to the table

5822
03:04:26,298 --> 03:04:27,990
as all income levels are

5823
03:04:27,990 --> 03:04:30,402
invited to our table and we can

5824
03:04:30,402 --> 03:04:30,770
have a conversation of working

5825
03:04:30,770 --> 03:04:31,570
together.

5826
03:04:31,570 --> 03:04:34,570
So thank you Congressman Scott

5827
03:04:36,800 --> 03:04:36,876

5828
03:04:36,876 --> 03:04:40,476

for your help with the grants.

5832
03:04:45,818 --> 03:04:49,418
You are very appreciated as are

5833
03:04:49,889 --> 03:04:50,957

03:04:55,761 --> 03:04:56,129
make all levels of people work

5836
03:04:56,129 --> 03:04:56,729
together.

5837
03:04:56,729 --> 03:04:59,129
That is so appreciated.

you just said Grants is a is a

5852
03:05:22,622 --> 03:05:23,356
new process to me.

5853
03:05:23,356 --> 03:05:24,230
>> I find it an interesting

5854
03:05:24,230 --> 03:05:26,826
process to be learning about

5855
03:05:26,826 --> 03:05:29,826
how our government can function

5856
03:05:31,364 --> 03:05:32,650
and find ways of funding and so

5857
03:05:32,650 --> 03:05:35,665
thank you for this item and

5858
03:05:36,350 --> 03:05:36,336

.

Hello.

5869
03:05:55,844 --> 03:05:57,857
I you know I think as we are

5870
03:05:57,857 --> 03:05:58,658
looking forward to another

5871
03:05:58,658 --> 03:06:02,258
three years we need to be

5872
03:06:03,462 --> 03:06:07,620
planning for even more cuts and

5873
03:06:08,267 --> 03:06:12,467
and and really I guess where my

5874
03:06:12,539 --> 03:06:13,239
frustrations are as I see

5875
03:06:13,239 --> 03:06:16,239
the country and therefore our

5876
03:06:17,544 --> 03:06:18,344
own city heading in a very dark

5877
03:06:18,344 --> 03:06:19,112
direction when it comes to our

5878
03:06:19,112 --> 03:06:22,712
support for people in need, our

5879
03:06:22,982 --> 03:06:23,616
compassion and for people that

5880
03:06:23,616 --> 03:06:26,616
have been impacted by any

5881
03:06:27,386 --> 03:06:30,986
number of life struggles and a

5882
03:06:32,659 --> 03:06:33,359
seemingly comfortable I guess

5883
03:06:33,359 --> 03:06:36,359
they comfortable way that they

5884
03:06:36,363 --> 03:06:37,430
society at large wants to

5885
03:06:37,430 --> 03:06:41,300
accept that it's okay to blame

5886
03:06:41,701 --> 03:06:45,901
the victim And I don't know how

5887
03:06:45,939 --> 03:06:46,706
we reverse that but I do know

5888
03:06:46,706 --> 03:06:50,306
that it does need a unified

5889
03:06:51,440 --> 03:06:51,778
political voice locally here

5890
03:06:51,778 --> 03:06:55,378
that is clearly saying we can't

5891
03:06:55,515 --> 03:06:56,283
do this to our own people.

5892
03:06:56,283 --> 03:06:57,830
We can't do this to our

5893
03:06:57,830 --> 03:07:00,587
neighbors, we can't do this to

5894
03:07:00,587 --> 03:07:01,488
our grandparents.

5895
03:07:01,488 --> 03:07:01,822
We can't do this to our family

5896
03:07:01,822 --> 03:07:02,521
members.

5897
03:07:02,521 --> 03:07:02,889
We can't do this to even those

5898
03:07:02,889 --> 03:07:04,889
strangers.

5899
03:07:04,958 --> 03:07:05,791
We don't have.

5900
03:07:05,791 --> 03:07:08,791
But we've got more belt

5901
03:07:09,796 --> 03:07:10,530
tightening folks And these

5902
03:07:10,530 --> 03:07:14,130
decisions are going to get even

5903
03:07:15,468 --> 03:07:15,935
harder as we move forward.

5904
03:07:15,935 --> 03:07:16,536
>> Thank you.

5905
03:07:16,536 --> 03:07:17,103
That does include public

5906
03:07:17,103 --> 03:07:19,503
comment for this item.

5907
03:07:20,400 --> 03:07:20,607
All right.

5908
03:07:20,607 --> 03:07:21,441
Thank you, city clerk.

5909
03:07:21,441 --> 03:07:21,942
And with that I'll turn it over

5910
03:07:21,942 --> 03:07:23,942
to my colleagues.

5911
03:07:24,678 --> 03:07:25,245
This is an information item so

5912
03:07:25,245 --> 03:07:25,946
no motion is required.

5913
03:07:25,946 --> 03:07:26,312
>> I'll go to Council member

5914
03:07:26,312 --> 03:07:28,312
Whitburn.

5915
03:07:28,882 --> 03:07:29,616
Thank you.

5916
03:07:29,616 --> 03:07:30,170
Council PRESIDENT Thank you for

5917
03:07:30,170 --> 03:07:30,684
this report.

5918
03:07:30,684 --> 03:07:33,684
Applying for these grants is

5919
03:07:34,187 --> 03:07:34,955
critical work.

5920
03:07:34,955 --> 03:07:35,689
It's a lot of work and

5921
03:07:35,689 --> 03:07:38,692
the effort that you put into it

5922
03:07:38,692 --> 03:07:39,392
is very much appreciated.

5923
03:07:39,392 --> 03:07:40,270
Understanding that this report

5924
03:07:40,270 --> 03:07:43,627
gives us the status as of

5925
03:07:43,830 --> 03:07:44,498
the end of last year DECEMBER

5926
03:07:44,498 --> 03:07:47,498
31st that there were six

5927
03:07:48,769 --> 03:07:49,603
pending grants at that time.

5928
03:07:49,603 --> 03:07:50,336
Do you know if we've heard of

5929
03:07:50,336 --> 03:07:50,737
any of those pending six grants

5930
03:07:50,737 --> 03:07:52,737
since then?

5931
03:07:53,507 --> 03:07:54,208
I fear that at your fingertips

5932
03:07:54,208 --> 03:07:57,845
if you don't we can follow up.

5933
03:07:57,845 --> 03:07:58,478
But I'm curious if you've heard

5934
03:07:58,478 --> 03:07:59,179
one way or the other.

5935
03:07:59,179 --> 03:07:59,847
>> Yeah, I don't have that

5936
03:07:59,847 --> 03:08:02,247
information in my fingertips

5937
03:08:03,160 --> 03:08:03,717
right now but we have heard

5938
03:08:03,717 --> 03:08:04,170
back on probably most of them.

5939
03:08:04,170 --> 03:08:04,684
Yeah.

5940
03:08:04,684 --> 03:08:07,655
And we can certainly provide

5941
03:08:07,655 --> 03:08:08,550
you with that information.

5942
03:08:08,550 --> 03:08:08,922
Thank you.

5943
03:08:08,922 --> 03:08:09,289
We did get some good news late

5944
03:08:09,289 --> 03:08:11,289
on Friday.

5945
03:08:12,626 --> 03:08:13,360
Not part of this program but

5946
03:08:13,360 --> 03:08:16,897
that the state's hap program is

5947
03:08:16,897 --> 03:08:20,497
going to be fully funded during

5948
03:08:21,902 --> 03:08:22,436
the last budget And this MAY be

5949
03:08:22,436 --> 03:08:24,836
a question for Lisa.

5950
03:08:26,440 --> 03:08:27,141
We were forced to cut 50 beds

5951
03:08:27,141 --> 03:08:29,541
at the 60 Newton shelter

5952
03:08:31,211 --> 03:08:31,812
because there wasn't enough

5953
03:08:31,812 --> 03:08:32,546
money to fund them all.

5954
03:08:32,546 --> 03:08:35,546
Understanding that we got this

5955
03:08:36,250 --> 03:08:36,950
news late Friday and you know

5956
03:08:36,950 --> 03:08:37,284
it's the middle of the day on

5957
03:08:37,284 --> 03:08:39,284
Monday.

5958
03:08:40,921 --> 03:08:41,622
Do you have any idea yet

5959
03:08:41,622 --> 03:08:44,558
whether the full funding will

5960
03:08:44,558 --> 03:08:44,858
enable us to keep those 50

5961
03:08:44,858 --> 03:08:45,359
beds?

5962
03:08:45,359 --> 03:08:45,926
>> No, I don't.

5963
03:08:45,926 --> 03:08:48,326
It's wonderful to see

5964
03:08:49,697 --> 03:08:50,397
the amount of funding that has

5965
03:08:50,397 --> 03:08:51,131
come through and for the state

5966
03:08:51,131 --> 03:08:51,732
to really step up And I think a

5967
03:08:51,732 --> 03:08:54,301
lot of the advocacy that

5968
03:08:54,301 --> 03:08:55,200
happened with this council and

5969
03:08:55,200 --> 03:08:55,503
with this mayor MAY have to

5970
03:08:55,503 --> 03:08:57,503
make that happen.

5971
03:08:58,671 --> 03:08:59,373
And shelter is definitely an

5972
03:08:59,373 --> 03:09:02,373
eligible use for those funds.

5973
03:09:03,510 --> 03:09:04,211
But we'll need to meet with

5974
03:09:04,211 --> 03:09:04,812
the city's Homeless Strategies

5975
03:09:04,812 --> 03:09:05,479
and Solutions department

5976
03:09:05,479 --> 03:09:07,479
obviously have conversations

5977
03:09:08,349 --> 03:09:09,160
with Council and the mayor

5978
03:09:09,160 --> 03:09:09,283
about where that funding can

5979
03:09:09,283 --> 03:09:09,617
go.

5980
03:09:09,617 --> 03:09:11,617
>> Okay.

5981
03:09:13,387 --> 03:09:14,880
Thank you very much.

5982
03:09:14,880 --> 03:09:14,855
Appreciate that And thank you

5983
03:09:14,855 --> 03:09:18,358
again for all the work to bring

5984
03:09:18,358 --> 03:09:18,859
in funding and thank you

5985
03:09:18,859 --> 03:09:19,226
Council PRESIDENT.

5986
03:09:19,226 --> 03:09:19,826
All right.

5987
03:09:19,826 --> 03:09:20,194
Thank you Council member

5988
03:09:20,194 --> 03:09:22,194
whitburn.

5989
03:09:23,897 --> 03:09:24,665
I don't see anybody else lights

5990
03:09:24,665 --> 03:09:25,365
I'll just have my thank you for

5991
03:09:25,365 --> 03:09:27,902
the good work and clearly you

5992
03:09:27,902 --> 03:09:28,536
have the secret sauce of going

5993
03:09:28,536 --> 03:09:29,360
after grants and securing

5994
03:09:29,360 --> 03:09:31,436
the wins on that.

5995
03:09:33,441 --> 03:09:34,740
So when there's too little

5996
03:09:34,740 --> 03:09:34,642
resources it's incredibly

5997
03:09:34,642 --> 03:09:35,900
important to do that.

5998
03:09:35,900 --> 03:09:36,978
Good work.

5999
03:09:36,978 --> 03:09:37,445
So thank you.

6000
03:09:37,445 --> 03:09:38,312
>> Thank you.

6001
03:09:38,312 --> 03:09:41,782
With that we will now proceed

6002
03:09:41,782 --> 03:09:42,483
with the approval of

6003
03:09:42,483 --> 03:09:43,150
the Housing Authority minutes.

6004
03:09:43,150 --> 03:09:45,550
>> clerk Please proceed with

6005
03:09:46,854 --> 03:09:47,321
public comment.

6006
03:09:47,321 --> 03:09:48,220
>> Thank you.

6007
03:09:48,220 --> 03:09:48,723
The public comment period for

6008
03:09:48,723 --> 03:09:49,390
the housing authority minutes

6009
03:09:49,390 --> 03:09:52,930
is now open and please note

6010
03:09:52,930 --> 03:09:52,792
each speaker will have three

6011
03:09:52,792 --> 03:09:55,162
will have one minute per item

6012
03:09:55,162 --> 03:09:55,764
per person up to a maximum of 3

6013
03:09:55,764 --> 03:09:56,163
minutes or 3 minutes on

6014
03:09:56,163 --> 03:09:58,163
the agenda.

6015
03:09:58,632 --> 03:09:59,367
Tuesday, MAY 12th, 2026 Regular

6016
03:09:59,367 --> 03:10:01,767
Meeting Tuesday, JUNE 9th, 2026

6017
03:10:03,838 --> 03:10:04,572
Regular meeting and Monday,

6018
03:10:04,572 --> 03:10:06,972
JUNE 15th, 2026 Special meeting

6019
03:10:07,475 --> 03:10:11,750
and allegedly order if you can

6020
03:10:16,784 --> 03:10:17,652
please come forward.

6021
03:10:17,652 --> 03:10:20,652
>> You'll have three minutes to

6022
03:10:21,322 --> 03:10:22,230
speak on all three dates.

6023
03:10:22,230 --> 03:10:22,690
>> So you're talking about

6024
03:10:22,690 --> 03:10:25,900
bonds for housing homeless

6025
03:10:26,560 --> 03:10:28,960
programs, litigation and these

6026
03:10:30,999 --> 03:10:31,598
three meetings and you know

6027
03:10:31,598 --> 03:10:34,598
we're getting in debt to

6028
03:10:35,737 --> 03:10:38,137
pretend to provide housing.

6029
03:10:40,174 --> 03:10:41,420
I just find it extremely

6030
03:10:41,420 --> 03:10:44,420
difficult to like proceed when

6031
03:10:45,747 --> 03:10:49,347
you guys hear people have died

6032
03:10:50,285 --> 03:10:51,850
in your programs and it doesn't

6033
03:10:51,850 --> 03:10:51,786
bother you enough to go, We

6034
03:10:51,786 --> 03:10:54,786
should really look into that.

6035
03:10:55,423 --> 03:10:55,924
>> We should figure out why

6036
03:10:55,924 --> 03:10:57,924
this is happening.

6037
03:10:58,392 --> 03:10:58,992
>> I mean, Steven why why

6038
03:10:58,992 --> 03:11:01,392
aren't you doing that?

6039
03:11:08,269 --> 03:11:09,690
Why is it funny to you?

6040
03:11:09,690 --> 03:11:12,690
>> Everything done in the dark

6041
03:11:12,941 --> 03:11:13,808
will come to the light And it

6042
03:11:13,808 --> 03:11:17,408
does And it's sad because it's

6043
03:11:18,413 --> 03:11:19,113
like I mean these people are

6044
03:11:19,113 --> 03:11:22,684
put in like a prison there.

6045
03:11:22,684 --> 03:11:23,651
You guys spend money at Tent

6046
03:11:23,651 --> 03:11:27,989
City to put up a fence that is

6047
03:11:27,989 --> 03:11:28,690
a wired like the ones that

6048
03:11:28,690 --> 03:11:28,957
usually have the spikes going

6049
03:11:28,957 --> 03:11:29,657
out.

6050
03:11:29,657 --> 03:11:32,160
Like you go to a hotel and you

6051
03:11:32,160 --> 03:11:32,861
see it because you don't want

6052
03:11:32,861 --> 03:11:36,461
someone coming in But it tent

6053
03:11:36,731 --> 03:11:37,499
city they're facing in like

6054
03:11:37,499 --> 03:11:38,299
these people can't get out and

6055
03:11:38,299 --> 03:11:42,270
you put them in fire danger by

6056
03:11:42,270 --> 03:11:42,971
continuing to add tents and

6057
03:11:42,971 --> 03:11:43,638
it's like you can't even see

6058
03:11:43,638 --> 03:11:47,142
your way out of there and

6059
03:11:47,142 --> 03:11:48,900
there's no fireworks Seeing

6060
03:11:48,900 --> 03:11:48,777
wishers if there was a fire in

6061
03:11:48,777 --> 03:11:51,777
Fenton, all is being dealt

6062
03:11:52,213 --> 03:11:55,813
there and people are dying on

6063
03:11:56,651 --> 03:11:57,352
it on a regular basis And yet

6064
03:11:57,352 --> 03:12:00,352
Dreams for Change continues to

6065
03:12:01,289 --> 03:12:04,289
get more funding because that's

6066
03:12:06,194 --> 03:12:06,895
your friend Stephen and that's

6067
03:12:06,895 --> 03:12:07,495
why you don't give a that

6068
03:12:07,495 --> 03:12:09,895
these people are dying.

6069
03:12:10,498 --> 03:12:13,498
That's like three people a

6070
03:12:15,103 --> 03:12:18,703
month so far this year and

6071
03:12:18,973 --> 03:12:21,973
everybody just sits there like

6072
03:12:23,815 --> 03:12:25,815
who cares?

6073
03:12:28,583 --> 03:12:28,950
And you wonder why people don't

6074
03:12:28,950 --> 03:12:29,750
trust you.

6075
03:12:29,750 --> 03:12:32,750
I'm not talking about someone

6076
03:12:34,355 --> 03:12:35,570
taking a out on the sidewalk

6077
03:12:35,570 --> 03:12:37,192
which happens all the time to

6078
03:12:37,192 --> 03:12:37,591
allow people to come and clean

6079
03:12:37,591 --> 03:12:39,591
it up.

6080
03:12:42,564 --> 03:12:43,465
I'm talking about a life lost

6081
03:12:43,465 --> 03:12:44,232
and you guys sit up here and

6082
03:12:44,232 --> 03:12:47,368
act like you care about people

6083
03:12:47,368 --> 03:12:48,136
But this falls upon deaf ears

6084
03:12:48,136 --> 03:12:51,640
and we just keep giving them

6085
03:12:51,640 --> 03:12:53,640
more money.

6086
03:12:56,711 --> 03:12:57,412
Make it make sense.

6087
03:12:57,412 --> 03:13:00,412
Why don't their lives matter

6088
03:13:01,350 --> 03:13:01,850
enough to like question what's

6089
03:13:01,850 --> 03:13:04,250
going on to go?

6090
03:13:06,210 --> 03:13:06,722
Maybe we should look into this

6091
03:13:06,722 --> 03:13:07,322
funding, make sure it's really

6092
03:13:07,322 --> 03:13:09,722
going somewhere that is

6093
03:13:11,260 --> 03:13:12,270
beneficial to people.

6094
03:13:12,270 --> 03:13:12,994
I mean if Theresa Smiths wants

6095
03:13:12,994 --> 03:13:16,970
people to stay there as long as

6096
03:13:16,970 --> 03:13:16,798
possible I mean that's

6097
03:13:16,798 --> 03:13:19,198
terrifying and literally they

6098
03:13:20,669 --> 03:13:21,102
die before they'll ever get

6099
03:13:21,102 --> 03:13:23,102
into housing.

6100
03:13:25,874 --> 03:13:26,442
>> How sad going to those

6101
03:13:26,442 --> 03:13:27,142
participating online.

6102
03:13:27,142 --> 03:13:30,446

6103
03:13:30,446 --> 03:13:31,146

Oh excuse me.

6107
03:13:36,251 --> 03:13:36,585
I thought this was public

6108
03:13:36,585 --> 03:13:38,585
comment.

6109
03:13:39,688 --> 03:13:40,422

6114
03:13:51,767 --> 03:13:52,468
I'm sorry at that.

6115
03:13:52,468 --> 03:13:54,603

>> Okay.

6123
03:14:04,980 --> 03:14:07,980

forward And then Anthony Ralph

6181
03:15:31,233 --> 03:15:31,901
so he can please come to

6182
03:15:31,901 --> 03:15:34,901
the yellow reserved seats at

6183
03:15:35,370 --> 03:15:35,738
the front of the room.

6184
03:15:35,738 --> 03:15:38,738
It's interesting I wasn't here

6185
03:15:40,420 --> 03:15:40,609
earlier because I was in care

6186
03:15:40,609 --> 03:15:41,310
court now for myself.

6187
03:15:41,310 --> 03:15:44,310
But hearing what they're going

6188
03:15:44,713 --> 03:15:45,383
to do with Andrea being and

6189
03:15:45,383 --> 03:15:47,783
it's such an educational

6190
03:15:49,819 --> 03:15:50,519
experience just observing

6191
03:15:50,519 --> 03:15:54,119
things like a board like this

6192
03:15:54,390 --> 03:15:55,158
being in court and seeing how

6193
03:15:55,158 --> 03:15:55,958
they use competency And then I

6194
03:15:55,958 --> 03:15:59,558
think about how I'm telling you

6195
03:15:59,729 --> 03:16:00,530
guys about people dying that

6196
03:16:00,530 --> 03:16:04,130
are part of your community and

6197
03:16:04,300 --> 03:16:04,701
that involve really people

6198
03:16:04,701 --> 03:16:05,468
don't care.

6199
03:16:05,468 --> 03:16:08,605
So I would think I mean you

6200
03:16:08,605 --> 03:16:09,372
guys should be evaluated for

6201
03:16:09,372 --> 03:16:10,340
competency to see I mean are

6202
03:16:10,340 --> 03:16:14,430
you you you know if you don't

6203
03:16:14,430 --> 03:16:14,811
really care about human life

6204
03:16:14,811 --> 03:16:15,545
but you're saying that you do I

6205
03:16:15,545 --> 03:16:17,945
mean perhaps you're incompetent

6206
03:16:18,714 --> 03:16:19,415
and perhaps you guys should be

6207
03:16:19,415 --> 03:16:22,919
sent to one of the psychiatric

6208
03:16:22,919 --> 03:16:23,586
facilities and medicated until

6209
03:16:23,586 --> 03:16:23,887
you can be deemed competent.

6210
03:16:23,887 --> 03:16:24,554
Right.

6211
03:16:24,554 --> 03:16:27,554
And somebody like me because

6212
03:16:28,900 --> 03:16:28,758
this is how it goes Like

6213
03:16:28,758 --> 03:16:29,459
someone like you guys would

6214
03:16:29,459 --> 03:16:32,195
deem me incompetent because I

6215
03:16:32,195 --> 03:16:32,594
don't go along with your

6216
03:16:32,594 --> 03:16:33,229
ideologies.

6217
03:16:33,229 --> 03:16:36,229
So imagine someone like me

6218
03:16:37,233 --> 03:16:37,934
doing that to you and saying

6219
03:16:37,934 --> 03:16:41,538
that the way that you feel is

6220
03:16:41,538 --> 03:16:41,838
means that you are incompetent

6221
03:16:41,838 --> 03:16:42,439
.

6222
03:16:42,439 --> 03:16:43,720
It's interesting the way

6223
03:16:43,720 --> 03:16:46,672
the world works and if you

6224
03:16:46,876 --> 03:16:47,577
don't just kind of capitulate

6225
03:16:47,577 --> 03:16:51,177
and go along and conform then

6226
03:16:51,714 --> 03:16:52,382
you're seen as somebody who

6227
03:16:52,382 --> 03:16:53,115
needs their behavior changed

6228
03:16:53,115 --> 03:16:56,586
And it's like I literally could

6229
03:16:56,586 --> 03:16:57,320
say that about you guys seeing

6230
03:16:57,320 --> 03:17:00,920
that you don't care that people

6231
03:17:01,910 --> 03:17:01,491
are dying all while professing

6232
03:17:01,491 --> 03:17:02,225
that you do.

6233
03:17:02,225 --> 03:17:05,225
>> But it's interesting the way

6234
03:17:06,129 --> 03:17:06,830
that it's used to silence

6235
03:17:06,830 --> 03:17:07,364
people And sure there's people

6236
03:17:07,364 --> 03:17:09,364
that are incompetent

6237
03:17:11,100 --> 03:17:11,701
potentially and need help and

6238
03:17:11,701 --> 03:17:12,202
wouldn't be able to, you know,

6239
03:17:12,202 --> 03:17:14,202
go through trial.

6240
03:17:15,771 --> 03:17:16,506
>> But when it's literally

6241
03:17:16,506 --> 03:17:17,140
being used to silence the truth

6242
03:17:17,140 --> 03:17:20,750
about the people that are

6243
03:17:20,750 --> 03:17:23,750
actually engaged in this care

6244
03:17:25,348 --> 03:17:25,782
court and whatnot, what a smart

6245
03:17:25,782 --> 03:17:26,416
weapon to use.

6246
03:17:26,416 --> 03:17:29,416
You know what I'm saying?

6247
03:17:29,820 --> 03:17:30,587
But imagine being that person.

6248
03:17:30,587 --> 03:17:30,887
Thank GOD it's not you guys.

6249
03:17:30,887 --> 03:17:31,187
Right?

6250
03:17:31,187 --> 03:17:33,187
Right.

6251
03:17:34,900 --> 03:17:34,457
Maybe it'll be one of your

6252
03:17:34,457 --> 03:17:34,891
children.

6253
03:17:34,891 --> 03:17:36,891
>> Who knows?

6254
03:17:38,528 --> 03:17:41,528
We'll see who's in charge.

6255
03:17:43,900 --> 03:17:47,500
Anthony Rose Yes, I will read

6256
03:17:48,505 --> 03:17:49,500
today's reading from

6257
03:17:49,500 --> 03:17:49,606
the Supreme Court.

6258
03:17:49,606 --> 03:17:50,273
But first I just want to

6259
03:17:50,273 --> 03:17:52,909
acknowledge that there is an

6260
03:17:52,909 --> 03:17:53,610
inherent conflict of interest

6261
03:17:53,610 --> 03:17:54,477
between those that want to

6262
03:17:54,477 --> 03:17:58,248
leave work early and can do so

6263
03:17:58,248 --> 03:17:58,882
with a short workday with which

6264
03:17:58,882 --> 03:18:01,282
is facilitated by minimal

6265
03:18:02,352 --> 03:18:03,860
public engagement and those

6266
03:18:03,860 --> 03:18:03,720
members of the public that wish

6267
03:18:03,720 --> 03:18:06,720
to have a robust, engaged,

6268
03:18:07,791 --> 03:18:08,491
fully informed discussion that

6269
03:18:08,491 --> 03:18:09,126
often requires extended hours

6270
03:18:09,126 --> 03:18:11,526
of additional city council

6271
03:18:12,462 --> 03:18:13,263
participation.

6272
03:18:13,263 --> 03:18:13,931
So when the vast majority of

6273
03:18:13,931 --> 03:18:14,565
your constituents demand you

6274
03:18:14,565 --> 03:18:17,267
respect our concept of our

6275
03:18:17,267 --> 03:18:17,968
constitutional protected

6276
03:18:17,968 --> 03:18:20,968
privacy rights over your own

6277
03:18:22,205 --> 03:18:22,906
esdp sponsored perception of

6278
03:18:22,906 --> 03:18:23,640
public safety, it sends us

6279
03:18:23,640 --> 03:18:25,575
the message that you prioritize

6280
03:18:25,575 --> 03:18:28,575
getting off work early over

6281
03:18:30,948 --> 03:18:31,748
doing your job.

6282
03:18:31,748 --> 03:18:32,449
So here's the article You've

6283
03:18:32,449 --> 03:18:35,819
probably had a chance to read

6284
03:18:35,819 --> 03:18:36,487
it But this morning the Supreme

6285
03:18:36,487 --> 03:18:37,154
Court ruled that when law

6286
03:18:37,154 --> 03:18:37,888
enforcement officials used a

6287
03:18:37,888 --> 03:18:40,624
geofence warrant a warrant that

6288
03:18:40,624 --> 03:18:41,291
instructed Google to provide

6289
03:18:41,291 --> 03:18:41,858
location data for cell phone

6290
03:18:41,858 --> 03:18:42,493
users who were near a

6291
03:18:42,493 --> 03:18:44,893
particular place during a

6292
03:18:46,960 --> 03:18:46,730
specified time period to obtain

6293
03:18:46,730 --> 03:18:49,730
evidence used to convict a

6294
03:18:50,300 --> 03:18:50,633
Virginia man of a 2019 bank

6295
03:18:50,633 --> 03:18:51,335
robbery.

6296
03:18:51,335 --> 03:18:53,737
They conducted a quote search

6297
03:18:53,737 --> 03:18:54,605
for the purposes of the Fourth

6298
03:18:54,605 --> 03:18:55,205
Amendment By a vote of 6 to 3

6299
03:18:55,205 --> 03:18:57,605
the justices sent Okello

6300
03:18:59,543 --> 03:19:00,177
Patrice's case back to

6301
03:19:00,177 --> 03:19:00,844
the lower court for it to

6302
03:19:00,844 --> 03:19:01,545
consider whether his Fourth

6303
03:19:01,545 --> 03:19:03,945
Amendment requires the search

6304
03:19:04,548 --> 03:19:05,249
was quote reasonable.

6305
03:19:05,249 --> 03:19:05,949
Writing for the majority,

6306
03:19:05,949 --> 03:19:08,349
Justice Elena Kagan emphasized

6307
03:19:09,319 --> 03:19:09,953
that quote An individual has a

6308
03:19:09,953 --> 03:19:10,621
reasonable expectation of

6309
03:19:10,621 --> 03:19:13,621
privacy in records about his

6310
03:19:14,592 --> 03:19:15,159
cell phone's location and

6311
03:19:15,159 --> 03:19:15,793
police intrude on that

6312
03:19:15,793 --> 03:19:17,793
constitutionally protected

6313
03:19:19,563 --> 03:19:20,297
interest when they demand

6314
03:19:20,297 --> 03:19:21,640
the information even though for

6315
03:19:21,640 --> 03:19:25,202
only a limited time and from a

6316
03:19:25,202 --> 03:19:28,202
third party tech company there

6317
03:19:29,373 --> 03:19:30,730
we have it the Supreme Court

6318
03:19:30,730 --> 03:19:33,730
decided this morning that our

6319
03:19:34,845 --> 03:19:35,546
location data on our on our

6320
03:19:35,546 --> 03:19:36,280
cell phones is not fair game

6321
03:19:36,280 --> 03:19:39,280
for third party applications to

6322
03:19:40,170 --> 03:19:43,170
be utilized to track us.

6323
03:19:45,289 --> 03:19:45,589
That should be a clear cut case

6324
03:19:45,589 --> 03:19:46,356
.

6325
03:19:46,356 --> 03:19:47,910
>> There are lawsuits all over

6326
03:19:47,910 --> 03:19:50,910
the state of California against

6327
03:19:51,195 --> 03:19:51,896
Floc Thank you for that

6328
03:19:51,896 --> 03:19:52,530
concluding remark Five minute

6329
03:19:52,530 --> 03:19:53,970
time We're going to those

6330
03:19:53,970 --> 03:19:55,970
participating online.

6331
03:19:55,198 --> 03:19:55,833
We currently have nine speakers

6332
03:19:55,833 --> 03:19:56,133
in the queue starting with

6333
03:19:56,133 --> 03:19:58,133
John.

6334
03:19:59,737 --> 03:20:00,471
>> If you can please unmute.

6335
03:20:00,471 --> 03:20:02,871
>> Good evening City Council.

6336
03:20:04,942 --> 03:20:05,475
My first comment is that public

6337
03:20:05,475 --> 03:20:06,210
comment should be at

6338
03:20:06,210 --> 03:20:09,810
the beginning of the meeting or

6339
03:20:10,314 --> 03:20:11,810
you should at least provide

6340
03:20:11,810 --> 03:20:11,582
the opportunity for a number of

6341
03:20:11,582 --> 03:20:12,283
people to speak at

6342
03:20:12,283 --> 03:20:15,520
the beginning of the meeting.

6343
03:20:15,520 --> 03:20:15,819
Because in part public comment

6344
03:20:15,819 --> 03:20:16,753
is so that our voices are heard

6345
03:20:16,753 --> 03:20:20,570
not only by us, not only by you

6346
03:20:20,570 --> 03:20:20,491
but other members of

6347
03:20:20,491 --> 03:20:21,192
the community.

6348
03:20:21,192 --> 03:20:24,792
Secondly, I want to explain to

6349
03:20:25,620 --> 03:20:25,396
you what it's like to be a

6350
03:20:25,396 --> 03:20:26,297
target.

6351
03:20:26,297 --> 03:20:26,596
I have had my rb now for two

6352
03:20:26,596 --> 03:20:28,596
years.

6353
03:20:31,235 --> 03:20:31,936
I have regularly parked it on

6354
03:20:31,936 --> 03:20:34,936
the nearby overpass where semi

6355
03:20:35,439 --> 03:20:36,107
tractor trailers parked

6356
03:20:36,107 --> 03:20:38,107
limousines, other commercial

6357
03:20:41,111 --> 03:20:41,478
businesses, vehicles got junk

6358
03:20:41,478 --> 03:20:42,146
trailers.

6359
03:20:42,146 --> 03:20:45,146
>> But for the moment until

6360
03:20:46,350 --> 03:20:47,510
the moment somebody was

6361
03:20:47,510 --> 03:20:47,918
identified as living in there

6362
03:20:47,918 --> 03:20:51,422
And then I became a marked

6363
03:20:51,422 --> 03:20:52,190
vehicle.

6364
03:20:52,190 --> 03:20:52,756
So now 17 members of

6365
03:20:52,756 --> 03:20:54,756
the community policing

6366
03:20:57,428 --> 03:20:58,296
department are out and actively

6367
03:20:58,296 --> 03:21:01,896
aware of where my vehicle is

6368
03:21:02,333 --> 03:21:02,967
And now I've got 275 to $75

6369
03:21:02,967 --> 03:21:05,967
ticket with no warning for

6370
03:21:07,500 --> 03:21:07,505
trying to help.

6371
03:21:07,505 --> 03:21:08,239
That's my office.

6372
03:21:08,239 --> 03:21:08,573
That's the place we used to do

6373
03:21:08,573 --> 03:21:10,573
surveys.

6374
03:21:12,430 --> 03:21:12,744
That's the place I've never

6375
03:21:12,744 --> 03:21:13,444
allowed anybody to live on it

6376
03:21:13,444 --> 03:21:13,877
at least while I was out in a

6377
03:21:13,877 --> 03:21:15,877
public space.

6378
03:21:17,215 --> 03:21:17,915
So I'm a little in shock here

6379
03:21:17,915 --> 03:21:18,248
how quickly we're able to act

6380
03:21:18,248 --> 03:21:20,248
on that.

6381
03:21:20,952 --> 03:21:21,252
>> But we can't pick up a911

6382
03:21:21,252 --> 03:21:21,952
call.

6383
03:21:21,952 --> 03:21:25,552
We've got to figure out where

6384
03:21:27,910 --> 03:21:27,858
our priorities are.

6385
03:21:27,858 --> 03:21:28,526
And right now going into this

6386
03:21:28,526 --> 03:21:30,926
whole budget negotiation, I

6387
03:21:33,264 --> 03:21:33,631
thought homelessness was off

6388
03:21:33,631 --> 03:21:34,332
the table.

6389
03:21:34,332 --> 03:21:36,801
And then I thought well, we're

6390
03:21:36,801 --> 03:21:37,468
going to cut the new center not

6391
03:21:37,468 --> 03:21:38,102
one member of the Community

6392
03:21:38,102 --> 03:21:38,770
Budget Alliance or any of

6393
03:21:38,770 --> 03:21:42,370
the other people that I know

6394
03:21:43,808 --> 03:21:44,509
that advocate for homeless

6395
03:21:44,509 --> 03:21:45,210
individuals had any clue when

6396
03:21:45,210 --> 03:21:45,843
that went through that it was

6397
03:21:45,843 --> 03:21:48,243
going to permanently close

6398
03:21:48,480 --> 03:21:49,180
the neon good day center.

6399
03:21:49,180 --> 03:21:50,480
We've been your close partner

6400
03:21:50,480 --> 03:21:54,850
on this and I'll tell you I

6401
03:21:54,850 --> 03:21:54,686
feel violated.

6402
03:21:54,686 --> 03:21:57,860
Our trust is gone.

6403
03:22:00,991 --> 03:22:01,726
And that's a sad place to be.

6404
03:22:01,726 --> 03:22:04,726
>> Thank you, Blair Beckman If

6405
03:22:09,000 --> 03:22:09,367
you can place on you.

6406
03:22:09,367 --> 03:22:09,768
All right.

6407
03:22:09,768 --> 03:22:10,234
Thank you.

6408
03:22:10,234 --> 03:22:10,535
Plan b friends?

6409
03:22:10,535 --> 03:22:11,236
Yeah.

6410
03:22:11,236 --> 03:22:13,805
I thought we were working on a

6411
03:22:13,805 --> 03:22:14,372
six day plan for the future of

6412
03:22:14,372 --> 03:22:15,400
New York State Center.

6413
03:22:15,400 --> 03:22:15,506
I was pretty shocked in what

6414
03:22:15,506 --> 03:22:16,207
you've decided.

6415
03:22:16,207 --> 03:22:19,207
I understand your decision and

6416
03:22:19,444 --> 03:22:20,178
how it can be working.

6417
03:22:20,178 --> 03:22:20,979
But the previous speaker is

6418
03:22:20,979 --> 03:22:24,579
offering a lot of good public

6419
03:22:25,984 --> 03:22:26,685
comment What we actually need

6420
03:22:26,685 --> 03:22:27,252
within the data center and we

6421
03:22:27,252 --> 03:22:30,252
have to be having that

6422
03:22:31,223 --> 03:22:31,589
conversation more openly and

6423
03:22:31,589 --> 03:22:32,290
regularly.

6424
03:22:32,290 --> 03:22:32,958
As I've been mentioning myself

6425
03:22:32,958 --> 03:22:35,958
I've been trying to mention

6426
03:22:37,495 --> 03:22:38,195
John is up in the actual words

6427
03:22:38,195 --> 03:22:39,640
Good luck in that effort.

6428
03:22:39,640 --> 03:22:43,101
So what we can be talking about

6429
03:22:43,101 --> 03:22:43,802
openly and I also wanted to

6430
03:22:43,802 --> 03:22:44,502
mention there's been a lot of

6431
03:22:44,502 --> 03:22:46,902
talk about encampment issues

6432
03:22:49,307 --> 03:22:50,800
You know, or the government

6433
03:22:50,800 --> 03:22:53,800
sponsored camp I heard before

6434
03:22:54,145 --> 03:22:54,846
here you know that instead of

6435
03:22:54,846 --> 03:22:57,846
you know, the 2 to 300 person

6436
03:23:00,419 --> 03:23:01,186
site in San Diego, San Jose's

6437
03:23:01,186 --> 03:23:01,887
model, they work, you know, in

6438
03:23:01,887 --> 03:23:05,487
a much smaller frame you know,

6439
03:23:06,325 --> 03:23:06,658
35 to 50, 25 to 35 spaces for

6440
03:23:06,658 --> 03:23:07,392
people.

6441
03:23:07,392 --> 03:23:11,430
We can have one space in San

6442
03:23:11,430 --> 03:23:12,230
Diego to say 100 people and

6443
03:23:12,230 --> 03:23:15,230
then you know, create 3 or 4

6444
03:23:16,668 --> 03:23:17,469
little smaller spaces that I

6445
03:23:17,469 --> 03:23:18,170
think we can much better manage

6446
03:23:18,170 --> 03:23:18,837
people and people will just be

6447
03:23:18,837 --> 03:23:21,837
dying the way they currently

6448
03:23:23,608 --> 03:23:24,209
are.

6449
03:23:24,209 --> 03:23:24,910
This large encampment is

6450
03:23:24,910 --> 03:23:25,577
creating a lot of again and we

6451
03:23:25,577 --> 03:23:28,577
got to really consider our

6452
03:23:29,714 --> 03:23:30,515
different options from that.

6453
03:23:30,515 --> 03:23:31,182
So good luck on those efforts.

6454
03:23:31,182 --> 03:23:31,884
Good luck that we can be

6455
03:23:31,884 --> 03:23:34,884
listening to Andrea Evans case

6456
03:23:35,287 --> 03:23:36,154
what she can be doing, what we

6457
03:23:36,154 --> 03:23:40,325
can be doing for her so she can

6458
03:23:40,325 --> 03:23:40,726
be free and regular She

6459
03:23:40,726 --> 03:23:41,493
deserves it.

6460
03:23:41,493 --> 03:23:41,827
I thank you for the words of

6461
03:23:41,827 --> 03:23:43,827
Anthony.

6462
03:23:46,397 --> 03:23:47,198
She actually mentioned concepts

6463
03:23:47,198 --> 03:23:50,198
that we're working on in 2018

6464
03:23:51,904 --> 03:23:52,304
We stopped something in 2018.

6465
03:23:52,304 --> 03:23:52,938
Good work.

6466
03:23:52,938 --> 03:23:53,605
We can continue what he's

6467
03:23:53,605 --> 03:23:56,605
talking about and from that

6468
03:23:57,910 --> 03:23:58,277
really address your issues in

6469
03:23:58,277 --> 03:23:58,977
real time.

6470
03:23:58,977 --> 03:24:02,577
There's a lot of subtlety in

6471
03:24:03,480 --> 03:24:03,915
what he said and how he can and

6472
03:24:03,915 --> 03:24:04,583
can't work that we need to more

6473
03:24:04,583 --> 03:24:07,583
openly address And I'll talk

6474
03:24:10,255 --> 03:24:11,230
about more tomorrow a lot more

6475
03:24:11,230 --> 03:24:11,723
I need to say good luck with

6476
03:24:11,723 --> 03:24:12,391
our public process right now,

6477
03:24:12,391 --> 03:24:14,391
concluded Francine Maxwell.

6478
03:24:18,630 --> 03:24:18,764
>> If you can please on your

6479
03:24:18,764 --> 03:24:21,164
Nancy Maxwell Southeastern San

6480
03:24:24,303 --> 03:24:25,400
Diego resident I want to thank

6481
03:24:25,400 --> 03:24:25,537
the council for the education

6482
03:24:25,537 --> 03:24:28,537
that came when I was

6483
03:24:30,142 --> 03:24:30,776
misdirected.

6484
03:24:30,776 --> 03:24:31,443
Really appreciate that.

6485
03:24:31,443 --> 03:24:32,177
Now let's parlay that since

6486
03:24:32,177 --> 03:24:35,177
there are so many upcoming

6487
03:24:36,982 --> 03:24:37,516
legislative breaks, let's do it

6488
03:24:37,516 --> 03:24:38,217
Educational series.

6489
03:24:38,217 --> 03:24:41,817
Let's go to some parking risks

6490
03:24:42,688 --> 03:24:43,355
and let's make sure that we try

6491
03:24:43,355 --> 03:24:43,722
to educate the community all

6492
03:24:43,722 --> 03:24:45,722
year long.

6493
03:24:48,127 --> 03:24:48,828
I would like your first thing

6494
03:24:48,828 --> 03:24:52,428
to be educational wise How can

6495
03:24:53,532 --> 03:24:54,266
Steve Cushman be an advisor to

6496
03:24:54,266 --> 03:24:54,834
the city, to the mayor's office

6497
03:24:54,834 --> 03:24:57,834
and be on the Housing

6498
03:24:59,805 --> 03:25:00,573
Commission?

6499
03:25:00,573 --> 03:25:01,207
So it would seem like that

6500
03:25:01,207 --> 03:25:01,874
would be a conflict to me.

6501
03:25:01,874 --> 03:25:04,274
I completely understand that

6502
03:25:05,411 --> 03:25:06,112
everybody is looking for their

6503
03:25:06,112 --> 03:25:06,846
next gig and so Steve Cushman

6504
03:25:06,846 --> 03:25:07,513
is not looking for his next gig

6505
03:25:07,513 --> 03:25:09,913
because he's pretty much

6506
03:25:11,683 --> 03:25:12,418
running our city.

6507
03:25:12,418 --> 03:25:15,418
But the mayor is absolutely

6508
03:25:17,155 --> 03:25:17,857
parlaying his dc trips and so

6509
03:25:17,857 --> 03:25:18,557
maybe he's looking to get a

6510
03:25:18,557 --> 03:25:21,557
position in hud or something.

6511
03:25:23,194 --> 03:25:23,896
>> We don't have all

6512
03:25:23,896 --> 03:25:24,597
the receipts but it seems like

6513
03:25:24,597 --> 03:25:26,997
elected officials continue to

6514
03:25:29,201 --> 03:25:29,902
hold things close to the vest

6515
03:25:29,902 --> 03:25:30,769
And when somebody needs a good

6516
03:25:30,769 --> 03:25:34,369
piece of press things come out

6517
03:25:35,575 --> 03:25:36,274
very appreciative of District

6518
03:25:36,274 --> 03:25:37,430
nine sharing with my neighbors

6519
03:25:37,430 --> 03:25:40,643
that our elected official is on

6520
03:25:41,479 --> 03:25:42,181
official business Love our

6521
03:25:42,181 --> 03:25:42,882
neighbor National City Council

6522
03:25:42,882 --> 03:25:45,882
member markets took a picture

6523
03:25:48,421 --> 03:25:49,121
of our council member on a bus

6524
03:25:49,121 --> 03:25:52,121
with our Board of Supervisors

6525
03:25:53,659 --> 03:25:54,327
vice chair just wonderful

6526
03:25:54,327 --> 03:25:54,627
communication through social

6527
03:25:54,627 --> 03:25:55,228
media.

6528
03:25:55,228 --> 03:25:55,928
So we're hoping that in

6529
03:25:55,928 --> 03:25:59,528
the newsletter there will be a

6530
03:25:59,832 --> 03:26:00,500
report in reference to

6531
03:26:00,500 --> 03:26:02,900
the Baltimore official trip.

6532
03:26:05,505 --> 03:26:06,205
>> Again, all city officials

6533
03:26:06,205 --> 03:26:06,506
take all of these official

6534
03:26:06,506 --> 03:26:07,173
trips.

6535
03:26:07,173 --> 03:26:10,773
You sit on other boards and

6536
03:26:11,611 --> 03:26:12,277
commissions, some of them are

6537
03:26:12,277 --> 03:26:13,120
paid, some of them are not.

6538
03:26:13,120 --> 03:26:16,120
But there never an educational

6539
03:26:17,316 --> 03:26:17,817
component or a component to

6540
03:26:17,817 --> 03:26:18,351
the constituents.

6541
03:26:18,351 --> 03:26:19,185
So let's do better.

6542
03:26:19,185 --> 03:26:22,785
Let's begin to educate the next

6543
03:26:23,222 --> 03:26:23,623
generation.

6544
03:26:23,623 --> 03:26:24,220
Thank you.

6545
03:26:24,220 --> 03:26:26,220
Thank you.

6546
03:26:27,593 --> 03:26:30,593
8700 If you can please unmute

6547
03:26:35,340 --> 03:26:35,735
8700 city for committees so I

6548
03:26:35,735 --> 03:26:39,335
can shape my comments is this

6549
03:26:40,806 --> 03:26:41,507
each day this is not agenda

6550
03:26:41,507 --> 03:26:42,274
public comment for the whole

6551
03:26:42,274 --> 03:26:45,874
meeting for the for the city

6552
03:26:47,580 --> 03:26:48,448
council meeting yes but there

6553
03:26:48,448 --> 03:26:52,480
was no agenda Public comment No

6554
03:26:52,785 --> 03:26:53,252
because it was a special

6555
03:26:53,252 --> 03:26:55,252
meeting for you.

6556
03:26:58,825 --> 03:26:59,692
Okay Thank you.

6557
03:26:59,692 --> 03:27:00,260
We just catch my breath here a

6558
03:27:00,260 --> 03:27:02,260
minute.

6559
03:27:05,265 --> 03:27:05,865
Had two plans so we will need

6560
03:27:05,865 --> 03:27:08,865
to start your time out.

6561
03:27:10,670 --> 03:27:15,470
I think you I need to finish on

6562
03:27:15,675 --> 03:27:16,142
this because I.

6563
03:27:16,142 --> 03:27:16,809
I don't know.

6564
03:27:16,809 --> 03:27:19,209
I'm coming strictly from

6565
03:27:22,382 --> 03:27:23,249
extemporaneous and then I think

6566
03:27:23,249 --> 03:27:28,490
I need to begin to get it out

6567
03:27:28,354 --> 03:27:30,457
of joy to I voted yes for this

6568
03:27:30,457 --> 03:27:32,857
week since we think

6569
03:27:36,963 --> 03:27:37,831
the ordinance a small minority

6570
03:27:37,831 --> 03:27:41,431
voted yes I'm never forget that

6571
03:27:43,837 --> 03:27:44,838
day and here we are That's what

6572
03:27:44,838 --> 03:27:49,275
we to where we are now And let

6573
03:27:49,275 --> 03:27:49,809
me tell you that I still

6574
03:27:49,809 --> 03:27:52,209
believe in our case.

6575
03:28:00,253 --> 03:28:00,654
We think of and pivot away from

6576
03:28:00,654 --> 03:28:01,688
that.

6577
03:28:01,688 --> 03:28:05,888
I'm using a lens to look at

6578
03:28:05,926 --> 03:28:06,693
the world.

6579
03:28:06,693 --> 03:28:07,360
It's different for each of us

6580
03:28:07,360 --> 03:28:09,360
that's proven scientifically

6581
03:28:12,699 --> 03:28:13,333
and to my lens I can't see all

6582
03:28:13,333 --> 03:28:15,733
the ugliness I'm hearing.

6583
03:28:18,500 --> 03:28:18,271
I don't I've never witnessed it

6584
03:28:18,271 --> 03:28:18,972
yet.

6585
03:28:18,972 --> 03:28:22,572
I respect the people that are

6586
03:28:25,278 --> 03:28:26,780
sharing their truth So I'm I to

6587
03:28:26,780 --> 03:28:26,480
become sort of a rock and a

6588
03:28:26,480 --> 03:28:28,480
hard place.

6589
03:28:30,417 --> 03:28:30,784
I worked with the homeless for

6590
03:28:30,784 --> 03:28:31,518
20 years.

6591
03:28:31,518 --> 03:28:34,518
David lost both my hair

6592
03:28:35,755 --> 03:28:36,490
the water man He lived in

6593
03:28:36,490 --> 03:28:40,900
the trenches Not really that he

6594
03:28:41,261 --> 03:28:45,461
lived there as a hero and he

6595
03:28:46,999 --> 03:28:47,768
told me a lot And these people

6596
03:28:47,768 --> 03:28:50,768
they have stories that are

6597
03:28:52,940 --> 03:28:53,640
beyond belief So we transition

6598
03:28:53,640 --> 03:28:57,240
them from the streets into an

6599
03:28:58,946 --> 03:28:59,746
enclosed space.

6600
03:28:59,746 --> 03:29:02,746
He could save sleeping sight,

6601
03:29:05,850 --> 03:29:05,752
make it safe and comfortable

6602
03:29:05,752 --> 03:29:06,253
and take care of them.

6603
03:29:06,253 --> 03:29:06,820
I don't know.

6604
03:29:06,820 --> 03:29:09,220
It's a big transition.

6605
03:29:09,323 --> 03:29:09,623
Let's talk more later with Joel

6606
03:29:09,623 --> 03:29:11,623
.

6607
03:29:15,462 --> 03:29:15,829
Thank you, Kathleen Lippert.

6608
03:29:15,829 --> 03:29:16,296
Thank you.

6609
03:29:16,296 --> 03:29:18,296
Good afternoon.

6610
03:29:22,336 --> 03:29:22,836
Council and the public drug

6611
03:29:22,836 --> 03:29:23,570
policy researcher.

6612
03:29:23,570 --> 03:29:27,170
I follow drug research and best

6613
03:29:27,941 --> 03:29:28,675
practices for decades.

6614
03:29:28,675 --> 03:29:29,343
The year to year data is

6615
03:29:29,343 --> 03:29:32,943
important but it is the long

6616
03:29:34,648 --> 03:29:35,382
term trend of drug use that are

6617
03:29:35,382 --> 03:29:36,500
that are the best indicators of

6618
03:29:36,500 --> 03:29:39,500
a city's policies Whether or

6619
03:29:40,186 --> 03:29:40,821
not they're preventing harms or

6620
03:29:40,821 --> 03:29:41,155
contributing to collateral

6621
03:29:41,155 --> 03:29:43,155
damage.

6622
03:29:47,270 --> 03:29:47,661
The report I want to share

6623
03:29:47,661 --> 03:29:48,262
today with Council is from

6624
03:29:48,262 --> 03:29:50,662
the American Society of

6625
03:29:51,832 --> 03:29:52,433
Addiction Medicine, which

6626
03:29:52,433 --> 03:29:53,670
followed cannabis policy

6627
03:29:53,670 --> 03:29:55,670
changes from 2009 to 2018.

6628
03:29:58,205 --> 03:30:00,205
The researchers studied

6629
03:30:02,275 --> 03:30:02,943
pediatric exposures of children

6630
03:30:02,943 --> 03:30:05,943
under six years old to

6631
03:30:07,480 --> 03:30:08,810
marijuana which were stable

6632
03:30:08,810 --> 03:30:10,810
between 2000 and 2009.

6633
03:30:12,686 --> 03:30:13,320
But beginning in 2010

6634
03:30:13,320 --> 03:30:14,210
the increase of more than

6635
03:30:14,210 --> 03:30:16,210
6,000% in pediatric exposures

6636
03:30:19,427 --> 03:30:20,610
to marijuana it was found oral

6637
03:30:20,610 --> 03:30:23,610
ingestion was found to be

6638
03:30:24,632 --> 03:30:25,299
responsible for the majority of

6639
03:30:25,299 --> 03:30:27,699
exposures in young children.

6640
03:30:30,604 --> 03:30:31,372
A concurrent prospective cohort

6641
03:30:31,372 --> 03:30:34,372
found that virtually all of

6642
03:30:36,677 --> 03:30:37,411
the of the effects were from

6643
03:30:37,411 --> 03:30:41,110
hospital admissions in the U.S.

6644
03:30:42,350 --> 03:30:43,500
And Canada For those under ten

6645
03:30:43,500 --> 03:30:46,500
years old for severe toxicity

6646
03:30:47,655 --> 03:30:48,189
from marijuana was from

6647
03:30:48,189 --> 03:30:48,622
ingestions of edible

6648
03:30:48,622 --> 03:30:50,622
preparations.

6649
03:30:54,328 --> 03:30:55,620
The negative effects on

6650
03:30:55,620 --> 03:30:55,630
children's health public health

6651
03:30:55,630 --> 03:30:57,630
policy adjustments are

6652
03:31:00,234 --> 03:31:00,968
warranted.

6653
03:31:00,968 --> 03:31:01,602
Please the city should consider

6654
03:31:01,602 --> 03:31:04,200
the manufacturers that it

6655
03:31:06,340 --> 03:31:07,800
allows the small shops that

6656
03:31:07,800 --> 03:31:10,800
continue to sell such broad

6657
03:31:12,180 --> 03:31:12,847
edible products without any

6658
03:31:12,847 --> 03:31:13,581
oversight or regulations And

6659
03:31:13,581 --> 03:31:14,215
these are the products that are

6660
03:31:14,215 --> 03:31:17,215
getting into the hands of

6661
03:31:18,518 --> 03:31:18,886
children They need to be

6662
03:31:18,886 --> 03:31:19,553
protected.

6663
03:31:19,553 --> 03:31:19,920
>> I hope you will do that.

6664
03:31:19,920 --> 03:31:21,920
Thank you.

6665
03:31:25,226 --> 03:31:25,927
Your time has concluded.

6666
03:31:25,927 --> 03:31:26,627
The five minute time are also

6667
03:31:26,627 --> 03:31:27,195
concluded and there are eight

6668
03:31:27,195 --> 03:31:27,895
speakers in the queue.

6669
03:31:27,895 --> 03:31:29,630
No additional speakers will be

6670
03:31:29,630 --> 03:31:30,310
taken.

6671
03:31:30,310 --> 03:31:33,310
>> Barbara Gordon If you can

6672
03:31:34,736 --> 03:31:35,503
please unmute Thank you.

6673
03:31:35,503 --> 03:31:36,170
As a public health educator

6674
03:31:36,170 --> 03:31:39,170
concerned about the lack of

6675
03:31:41,476 --> 03:31:42,180
Smokefree policies, I wanted to

6676
03:31:42,180 --> 03:31:42,877
share with you a peer review

6677
03:31:42,877 --> 03:31:44,877
study regarding comprehensive

6678
03:31:47,282 --> 03:31:47,849
Smokefree laws and

6679
03:31:47,849 --> 03:31:48,515
cardiovascular disease

6680
03:31:48,515 --> 03:31:51,515
mortality in U.S. Counties.

6681
03:31:53,588 --> 03:31:54,322
This was published in

6682
03:31:54,322 --> 03:31:57,322
the Journal of American Medical

6683
03:31:58,893 --> 03:31:59,460
Association just JUNE of 2026.

6684
03:31:59,460 --> 03:32:00,128
The research examined

6685
03:32:00,128 --> 03:32:02,128
comprehensive Smokefree Laws

6686
03:32:05,660 --> 03:32:05,700
Associate it with long term

6687
03:32:05,700 --> 03:32:07,700
changes in cardiovascular

6688
03:32:10,672 --> 03:32:11,173
disease mortality at the county

6689
03:32:11,173 --> 03:32:11,840
level in the us.

6690
03:32:11,840 --> 03:32:14,240
The 2026 county level study

6691
03:32:16,477 --> 03:32:17,145
found that counties adopting

6692
03:32:17,145 --> 03:32:17,779
comprehensive smokefree laws

6693
03:32:17,779 --> 03:32:20,179
were associated with lower

6694
03:32:22,954 --> 03:32:23,651
cardiovascular mortality over

6695
03:32:23,651 --> 03:32:24,352
roughly a decade compared to

6696
03:32:24,352 --> 03:32:27,352
similar counties that did not

6697
03:32:29,230 --> 03:32:29,724
adopt such law.

6698
03:32:29,724 --> 03:32:30,324
These findings are consistent

6699
03:32:30,324 --> 03:32:30,958
with decades of research

6700
03:32:30,958 --> 03:32:32,958
showing that comprehensive

6701
03:32:35,630 --> 03:32:35,730
Smokefree policies reduce

6702
03:32:35,730 --> 03:32:36,331
exposure to secondhand smoke

6703
03:32:36,331 --> 03:32:38,731
and are associated with

6704
03:32:41,269 --> 03:32:41,603
improvement of cardiovascular

6705
03:32:41,603 --> 03:32:42,337
health.

6706
03:32:42,337 --> 03:32:44,737
The strongest evidence supports

6707
03:32:46,508 --> 03:32:47,241
Smokefree laws of any kind

6708
03:32:47,241 --> 03:32:47,943
tobacco or marijuana indoors or

6709
03:32:47,943 --> 03:32:50,343
outdoor public places without

6710
03:32:52,781 --> 03:32:53,348
exception showed an average

6711
03:32:53,348 --> 03:32:55,348
reduction of about 12

6712
03:32:57,718 --> 03:32:58,253
cardiovascular death per 100

6713
03:32:58,253 --> 03:32:58,987
people in this year.

6714
03:32:58,987 --> 03:33:02,587
I think for city councils and

6715
03:33:03,625 --> 03:33:04,392
local health departments that

6716
03:33:04,392 --> 03:33:05,930
we can reduce exposure tobacco

6717
03:33:05,930 --> 03:33:07,493
and marijuana secondhand smoke

6718
03:33:09,431 --> 03:33:10,131
by enacting comprehensive well

6719
03:33:10,131 --> 03:33:12,131
enforced smokefree ordinances

6720
03:33:15,871 --> 03:33:16,538
along with it doing public

6721
03:33:16,538 --> 03:33:17,205
health education and it will

6722
03:33:17,205 --> 03:33:17,506
improve the lives of all San

6723
03:33:17,506 --> 03:33:19,506
Diego.

6724
03:33:22,177 --> 03:33:23,450

unacceptable It fails to

6743
03:34:05,621 --> 03:34:08,621
question is is where are

6744
03:34:09,491 --> 03:34:10,125
the police reports addressing

6745
03:34:10,125 --> 03:34:10,826
the victim and witnesses?

6746
03:34:10,826 --> 03:34:13,826
Residents should not be forced

6747
03:34:15,464 --> 03:34:16,164
to sign an access pass waiver

6748
03:34:16,164 --> 03:34:16,865
under the threat of violence.

6749
03:34:16,865 --> 03:34:19,865
I receive unanimous letters of

6750
03:34:22,103 --> 03:34:22,838
support from the town council,

6751
03:34:22,838 --> 03:34:23,438
the Hoyt Shores Association and

6752
03:34:23,438 --> 03:34:25,438

6754
03:34:27,776 --> 03:34:28,444
crime.

6755
03:34:28,444 --> 03:34:31,444
Yet the court issues remain

6756
03:34:32,615 --> 03:34:32,915
ignored while problems continue

6757
03:34:32,915 --> 03:34:33,649
.

6758
03:34:33,649 --> 03:34:36,490
I have experienced retaliation

6759
03:34:39,621 --> 03:34:40,322
myself Serious injuries and

6760
03:34:40,322 --> 03:34:40,923

6761
03:34:40,923 --> 03:34:44,523

03:34:46,361 --> 03:34:47,290

stage four cancer.

6766
03:34:50,833 --> 03:34:51,467
I want to see this public park

6767
03:34:51,467 --> 03:34:54,467
returned to the people and

6768
03:34:56,605 --> 03:34:57,272
protected from future abuse.

6769
03:34:57,272 --> 03:34:57,706
I'm asking City Council for

6770
03:34:57,706 --> 03:34:58,374
three things.

6771
03:34:58,374 --> 03:35:01,374
First, where are the police

6772
03:35:01,944 --> 03:35:02,311
reports involving victim and

6773
03:35:02,311 --> 03:35:02,778
witnesses?

6774
03:35:02,778 --> 03:35:03,379
Let's see them.

6775
03:35:03,379 --> 03:35:05,779
Second stop the illegal

6776
03:35:09,552 --> 03:35:10,219
collection of public funding in

6777
03:35:10,219 --> 03:35:10,919
the private accounts with a

6778
03:35:10,919 --> 03:35:13,989
full city audit Until we find

6779
03:35:13,989 --> 03:35:14,290
Sly report Where is the money

6780
03:35:14,290 --> 03:35:14,957
going?

6781
03:35:14,957 --> 03:35:17,357
Third, restore lawful public

6782
03:35:18,928 --> 03:35:19,662
access and ensure that no one

6783
03:35:19,662 --> 03:35:20,396
is forced into signing waivers.

6784
03:35:20,396 --> 03:35:23,996
Time to address the victim and

6785
03:35:24,467 --> 03:35:25,167
witnesses and force American

6786
03:35:25,167 --> 03:35:28,167
law not administrative law and

6787
03:35:31,574 --> 03:35:32,174
stand up for a constitutional

6788
03:35:32,174 --> 03:35:32,541
recreational rights and

6789
03:35:32,541 --> 03:35:32,908
freedoms.

6790
03:35:32,908 --> 03:35:34,908
Thank you.

6791
03:35:36,712 --> 03:35:37,346
Ready Casco You kid.

6792
03:35:37,346 --> 03:35:39,346
My apologies, Ernie.

6793
03:35:42,952 --> 03:35:43,285
Did you want to make any final

6794
03:35:43,285 --> 03:35:43,853
comment?

6795
03:35:43,853 --> 03:35:44,519
I didn't mean you.

6796
03:35:44,519 --> 03:35:47,519
I thought you were dead.

6797
03:35:51,560 --> 03:35:51,861
My apologies.

6798
03:35:51,861 --> 03:35:52,695
Okay.

6799
03:35:52,695 --> 03:35:53,290
You're not a meeting so we will

6800
03:35:53,290 --> 03:35:53,763
proceed.

6801
03:35:53,763 --> 03:35:56,763
Madison, if you can please.

6802
03:36:00,436 --> 03:36:00,836
On.

6803
03:36:00,836 --> 03:36:01,270
>> Hello.

6804
03:36:01,270 --> 03:36:01,904
Good evening.

6805
03:36:01,904 --> 03:36:02,505
City council members with

6806
03:36:02,505 --> 03:36:05,505
the 4th of JULY holiday

6807
03:36:06,800 --> 03:36:06,709
approaching, I want to briefly

6808
03:36:06,709 --> 03:36:07,376
highlight an important public

6809
03:36:07,376 --> 03:36:09,776
safety concern drug impaired

6810
03:36:11,914 --> 03:36:12,548
driving especially when it

6811
03:36:12,548 --> 03:36:13,182
comes to marijuana because

6812
03:36:13,182 --> 03:36:13,882
while many people think of

6813
03:36:13,882 --> 03:36:16,282
impaired driving primarily in

6814
03:36:17,987 --> 03:36:18,654
terms of alcohol, marijuana can

6815
03:36:18,654 --> 03:36:19,288
also significantly affect a

6816
03:36:19,288 --> 03:36:19,622
person's ability to drive

6817
03:36:19,622 --> 03:36:21,622
safely.

6818
03:36:23,626 --> 03:36:24,327
It can slow down reaction time

6819
03:36:24,327 --> 03:36:24,960
,impair coordination, distort

6820
03:36:24,960 --> 03:36:27,360
perception of distance and

6821
03:36:29,598 --> 03:36:29,965
speed and reduce overall

6822
03:36:29,965 --> 03:36:30,666
attention.

6823
03:36:30,666 --> 03:36:31,300
These effects can make it much

6824
03:36:31,300 --> 03:36:31,901
more difficult to respond

6825
03:36:31,901 --> 03:36:34,301
quickly to changing road

6826
03:36:36,205 --> 03:36:36,639
conditions, pedestrians or

6827
03:36:36,639 --> 03:36:37,273
other drivers.

6828
03:36:37,273 --> 03:36:37,940
One of the challenges with

6829
03:36:37,940 --> 03:36:40,340
marijuana impairment is that

6830
03:36:41,811 --> 03:36:42,512
people often underestimate it

6831
03:36:42,512 --> 03:36:43,146
Unlike alcohol where there are

6832
03:36:43,146 --> 03:36:45,146
well-known guidelines and

6833
03:36:47,550 --> 03:36:48,251
widespread public messaging,

6834
03:36:48,251 --> 03:36:48,917
many individuals do not fully

6835
03:36:48,917 --> 03:36:51,317
recognize how long marijuana

6836
03:36:54,257 --> 03:36:54,957
can impair judgment or how it

6837
03:36:54,957 --> 03:36:55,325
can affect driving even hours

6838
03:36:55,325 --> 03:36:55,992
after use.

6839
03:36:55,992 --> 03:36:58,992
This can lead to risky

6840
03:36:59,962 --> 03:37:00,597
decisions such as driving too

6841
03:37:00,597 --> 03:37:01,331
soon after consumption or

6842
03:37:01,331 --> 03:37:04,931
assuming they are fine to drive

6843
03:37:05,668 --> 03:37:06,402
when they are not during

6844
03:37:06,402 --> 03:37:07,700
holiday periods like the 4th of

6845
03:37:07,700 --> 03:37:07,770
JULY when there is increased

6846
03:37:07,770 --> 03:37:10,170
travel, social gatherings and

6847
03:37:12,542 --> 03:37:13,109
celebrations the risks become

6848
03:37:13,109 --> 03:37:13,810
even more significant.

6849
03:37:13,810 --> 03:37:17,410
More cars on the road combined

6850
03:37:17,814 --> 03:37:18,414
with impaired driving increased

6851
03:37:18,414 --> 03:37:19,480
the higher potential for

6852
03:37:19,480 --> 03:37:19,415
preventable accidents and

6853
03:37:19,415 --> 03:37:20,820
injuries.

6854
03:37:20,820 --> 03:37:23,820
I encourage our community to

6855
03:37:24,120 --> 03:37:24,720
prioritize planning ahead this

6856
03:37:24,720 --> 03:37:25,387
holiday using designated

6857
03:37:25,387 --> 03:37:27,787
drivers, rancher services or

6858
03:37:30,160 --> 03:37:30,894
other safe transportation

6859
03:37:30,894 --> 03:37:31,528
options If substances are being

6860
03:37:31,528 --> 03:37:32,228
used, public awareness and

6861
03:37:32,228 --> 03:37:34,628
personal responsibility can go

6862
03:37:36,432 --> 03:37:36,800
a long way in preventing

6863
03:37:36,800 --> 03:37:37,534
tragedies.

6864
03:37:37,534 --> 03:37:38,134
Thank you and I wish everyone a

6865
03:37:38,134 --> 03:37:38,501
safe and happy holiday.

6866
03:37:38,501 --> 03:37:40,501
Thank you.

6867
03:37:52,716 --> 03:37:53,416
John Stump Oh John Stump Want

6868
03:37:53,416 --> 03:37:54,830
to talk about three things

6869
03:37:54,830 --> 03:37:57,830
the recent election I don't

6870
03:37:59,389 --> 03:38:02,389
think the results in District

6871
03:38:04,861 --> 03:38:07,861
four or in the controversial

6872
03:38:10,867 --> 03:38:11,535
districts in New York City is a

6873
03:38:11,535 --> 03:38:11,902
reflection that people want

6874
03:38:11,902 --> 03:38:12,602
socialism.

6875
03:38:12,602 --> 03:38:15,602
I think it's more reflection.

6876
03:38:16,506 --> 03:38:17,207
They want change and they're

6877
03:38:17,207 --> 03:38:19,607
not They're dissatisfied with

6878
03:38:22,112 --> 03:38:22,746
the return they're getting in

6879
03:38:22,746 --> 03:38:23,413
response are getting from

6880
03:38:23,413 --> 03:38:23,747
elected officials They want

6881
03:38:23,747 --> 03:38:25,747
change.

6882
03:38:28,618 --> 03:38:29,386
Secondly, in today's newspaper

6883
03:38:29,386 --> 03:38:32,386
there was a report about

6884
03:38:35,225 --> 03:38:38,225
the separation or retirement of

6885
03:38:41,640 --> 03:38:44,640
the ceo of Community Power.

6886
03:38:47,700 --> 03:38:47,771
Community power is very fat.

6887
03:38:47,771 --> 03:38:50,171
There's 150 employees who make

6888
03:38:52,576 --> 03:38:53,242
salaries much greater than

6889
03:38:53,242 --> 03:38:53,877
the city of San Diego and

6890
03:38:53,877 --> 03:38:54,244
community power doesn't do

6891
03:38:54,244 --> 03:38:56,244
anything.

6892
03:38:58,882 --> 03:38:59,516
It's just an aggregator.

6893
03:38:59,516 --> 03:39:01,916
It doesn't generate or

6894
03:39:04,720 --> 03:39:05,388
distribute the council members

6895
03:39:05,388 --> 03:39:06,890
that are in community power

6896
03:39:06,890 --> 03:39:06,390
should be looking at the wages

6897
03:39:06,390 --> 03:39:08,390
paid.

6898
03:39:09,158 --> 03:39:12,758
Their third I need the city

6899
03:39:14,898 --> 03:39:15,599
clerk to call me concerning

6900
03:39:15,599 --> 03:39:18,350
the notice of appeals there's

6901
03:39:18,350 --> 03:39:21,350
an appeal scheduled for next

6902
03:39:24,340 --> 03:39:25,800
week the seventh and completely

6903
03:39:25,800 --> 03:39:27,408
misunderstands what is being

6904
03:39:29,513 --> 03:39:30,346
done in an appeal.

6905
03:39:30,346 --> 03:39:34,546
The City Council is acting as a

6906
03:39:35,850 --> 03:39:38,685
hearing body as judges and yet

6907
03:39:40,724 --> 03:39:41,324
the mayor and the staff who are

6908
03:39:41,324 --> 03:39:43,724
the group being appealed

6909
03:39:46,430 --> 03:39:47,164
against are being given status

6910
03:39:47,164 --> 03:39:50,164
in that appeal different than

6911
03:39:52,360 --> 03:39:52,803
the appellant So that process

6912
03:39:52,803 --> 03:39:56,403
either needs to be re noticed

6913
03:39:57,708 --> 03:39:58,241
or changed and concluded Hector

6914
03:39:58,241 --> 03:40:00,641
he complains on you.

6915
03:40:02,613 --> 03:40:03,347
>> All right thanks.

6916
03:40:03,347 --> 03:40:03,981
I'm just so disappointed and

6917
03:40:03,981 --> 03:40:06,381
I'm not surprised at

6918
03:40:08,352 --> 03:40:08,953
the outcome of the California

6919
03:40:08,953 --> 03:40:11,953
budget how we didn't get

6920
03:40:13,557 --> 03:40:13,958
millions of dollars to fix our

6921
03:40:13,958 --> 03:40:14,925
sewer plant.

6922
03:40:14,925 --> 03:40:17,925
Where's our 3 or 400 million to

6923
03:40:20,130 --> 03:40:20,664
have a state of the art sewer

6924
03:40:20,664 --> 03:40:21,650
plant at the border?

6925
03:40:21,650 --> 03:40:23,650
It's a joke.

6926
03:40:24,401 --> 03:40:24,768
It's the blind leading

6927
03:40:24,768 --> 03:40:25,436
the blind.

6928
03:40:25,436 --> 03:40:28,436
You end up smelling Mexican

6929
03:40:30,173 --> 03:40:30,775
for another decade.

6930
03:40:30,775 --> 03:40:31,609
Come on, man.

6931
03:40:31,609 --> 03:40:35,678
We need we need a railroad high

6932
03:40:35,678 --> 03:40:36,313
speed from Fresno to

6933
03:40:36,313 --> 03:40:36,781
Bakersfield funded another

6934
03:40:36,781 --> 03:40:38,781
couple billion.

6935
03:40:41,118 --> 03:40:41,952
Where's our money?

6936
03:40:41,952 --> 03:40:42,453
But come on, you guys, you got

6937
03:40:42,453 --> 03:40:44,453
to be embarrassed.

6938
03:40:46,570 --> 03:40:46,690
How could you have your kids

6939
03:40:46,690 --> 03:40:47,580
that sewer gas growing up?

6940
03:40:47,580 --> 03:40:47,425
You know?

6941
03:40:47,425 --> 03:40:49,425
Come on.

6942
03:40:52,496 --> 03:40:52,797
What are you going to tell

6943
03:40:52,797 --> 03:40:53,464
them?

6944
03:40:53,464 --> 03:40:56,567
Why don't they ask the dad?

6945
03:40:56,567 --> 03:40:57,234
How do you smell that?

6946
03:40:57,234 --> 03:40:57,835
How come we live here?

6947
03:40:57,835 --> 03:40:58,135
How What's going on?

6948
03:40:58,135 --> 03:41:00,135
Blame.

6949
03:41:01,238 --> 03:41:01,939
Blame the Democratic Party.

6950
03:41:01,939 --> 03:41:04,339
You can't blame Mexico.

6951
03:41:07,110 --> 03:41:07,311
They don't got their together

6952
03:41:07,311 --> 03:41:08,120
.

6953
03:41:08,120 --> 03:41:10,412
They're only like building $1

6954
03:41:11,582 --> 03:41:12,416
billion highway above Tijuana.

6955
03:41:12,416 --> 03:41:13,317
Yeah, which is if you live

6956
03:41:13,317 --> 03:41:16,917
below that today, you better be

6957
03:41:16,988 --> 03:41:17,688
heavily into the Catholic

6958
03:41:17,688 --> 03:41:20,688
Church with their rosary beads

6959
03:41:22,393 --> 03:41:23,940
at night when they earthquake

6960
03:41:23,940 --> 03:41:23,861
comes, that thing's going down

6961
03:41:23,861 --> 03:41:27,461
bad And then there's going to

6962
03:41:27,664 --> 03:41:28,332
be a flood, a sewer gas even

6963
03:41:28,332 --> 03:41:31,332
more when that sewer breaks

6964
03:41:31,836 --> 03:41:32,537
again over there it's it's

6965
03:41:32,537 --> 03:41:34,937
frankly it's embarrassing And

6966
03:41:36,874 --> 03:41:37,575
don't use the expression

6967
03:41:37,575 --> 03:41:38,442
America's finest city until we

6968
03:41:38,442 --> 03:41:42,513
have it all areas of the city

6969
03:41:42,513 --> 03:41:43,280
and county until we have a

6970
03:41:43,280 --> 03:41:46,280
sewer plant that can handle

6971
03:41:46,784 --> 03:41:47,618
Tijuana's sewage.

6972
03:41:47,618 --> 03:41:50,618
It's just disgusting that it's

6973
03:41:52,357 --> 03:41:54,757
just it's totally disgusting.

6974
03:41:57,729 --> 03:41:58,396
So anyway, the next time I'm

6975
03:41:58,396 --> 03:41:58,997
I'm looking forward to next

6976
03:41:58,997 --> 03:42:01,397
year when everyone gets

6977
03:42:04,369 --> 03:42:04,969
deported is that'd be great.

6978
03:42:04,969 --> 03:42:05,570
Round them up, man.

6979
03:42:05,570 --> 03:42:06,471
Your time is concluded.

6980
03:42:06,471 --> 03:42:09,407
Jodi Strang, if you can please

6981
03:42:09,407 --> 03:42:10,141
unmute.

6982
03:42:10,141 --> 03:42:12,541
>> Good afternoon City Council

6983
03:42:14,846 --> 03:42:15,446
Thank you for this opportunity

6984
03:42:15,446 --> 03:42:16,280
to share some thoughts.

6985
03:42:16,280 --> 03:42:19,484
Perhaps you saw as I did

6986
03:42:19,484 --> 03:42:20,151
the press conference on Friday

6987
03:42:20,151 --> 03:42:22,151
regarding legislation that's

6988
03:42:25,890 --> 03:42:25,857
been supported by our Senator

6989
03:42:25,857 --> 03:42:29,457
Catherine Blake or as well as

6990
03:42:29,827 --> 03:42:30,895
assembly person Lori Davis.

6991
03:42:30,895 --> 03:42:33,895
It's sb 936 that would prohibit

6992
03:42:34,199 --> 03:42:37,199
the sale of natural nitrous

6993
03:42:38,236 --> 03:42:38,770
oxide canisters that are larger

6994
03:42:38,770 --> 03:42:39,704
than eight grams.

6995
03:42:39,704 --> 03:42:43,304
Noxious oxide joins a group of

6996
03:42:43,374 --> 03:42:46,374
other products being sold at

6997
03:42:48,120 --> 03:42:48,813
gas stations, Vape stores smoke

6998
03:42:48,813 --> 03:42:49,480
shops across our city that are

6999
03:42:49,480 --> 03:42:52,480
being purchased by our young

7000
03:42:53,551 --> 03:42:54,219
people in particular they join

7001
03:42:54,219 --> 03:42:54,918
Create Them which is another

7002
03:42:54,918 --> 03:42:57,918
product that's illegal to sell

7003
03:42:58,223 --> 03:42:58,957
that we're selling it in our

7004
03:42:58,957 --> 03:43:01,957
city Nevertheless as well as

7005
03:43:02,927 --> 03:43:05,327
magic mushrooms and hemp

7006
03:43:07,265 --> 03:43:08,330
products that contain over

7007
03:43:08,330 --> 03:43:11,633
limit And thus we get these

7008
03:43:11,802 --> 03:43:12,470
high concentrated thc products

7009
03:43:12,470 --> 03:43:14,870
hiding under hemp products.

7010
03:43:16,641 --> 03:43:17,342
Sb 936 nitrogen oxide can cause

7011
03:43:17,342 --> 03:43:20,342
serious damage to people who

7012
03:43:21,880 --> 03:43:22,413
are inhaling them which tend to

7013
03:43:22,413 --> 03:43:23,480
be our young people

7014
03:43:23,480 --> 03:43:25,480
particularly brain damage.

7015
03:43:25,884 --> 03:43:26,551
It seems to have its main

7016
03:43:26,551 --> 03:43:27,351
effect neurologically and in

7017
03:43:27,351 --> 03:43:30,351
many instances it has caused

7018
03:43:30,655 --> 03:43:31,623
death.

7019
03:43:31,623 --> 03:43:32,224
If you have an opportunity as a

7020
03:43:32,224 --> 03:43:34,624
city council to support

7021
03:43:36,160 --> 03:43:36,961
legislation and I know that you

7022
03:43:36,961 --> 03:43:40,164
do and you have a lobbyist I

7023
03:43:40,164 --> 03:43:40,866
would suggest you add sb 936 to

7024
03:43:40,866 --> 03:43:44,466
your list Be a wonderful thing

7025
03:43:44,636 --> 03:43:45,303
for our city council to

7026
03:43:45,303 --> 03:43:48,303
recognize the role of these

7027
03:43:49,374 --> 03:43:49,941
drugs primarily sold in our

7028
03:43:49,941 --> 03:43:52,341
city at gas stations,

7029
03:43:53,778 --> 03:43:54,413
convenience stores, vape stores

7030
03:43:54,413 --> 03:43:55,800
and change the course of

7031
03:43:55,800 --> 03:43:55,547
the young people's lives who

7032
03:43:55,547 --> 03:43:57,547
are using them.

7033
03:43:59,684 --> 03:44:00,840
Thank you.

7034
03:44:00,840 --> 03:44:00,852
Thank you.

7035
03:44:00,852 --> 03:44:02,955
Natalie Raskin If you can

7036
03:44:02,955 --> 03:44:05,955
please unmute them after that

7037
03:44:08,493 --> 03:44:09,361
is backing up.

7038
03:44:09,361 --> 03:44:12,597
>> Hi Natalie Rush key here I

7039
03:44:12,597 --> 03:44:13,265
agree with I think her name was

7040
03:44:13,265 --> 03:44:16,265
Maxine There should be more

7041
03:44:17,970 --> 03:44:18,637
education within the public in

7042
03:44:18,637 --> 03:44:21,637
educating on how the system

7043
03:44:22,541 --> 03:44:23,309
works and how the items work

7044
03:44:23,309 --> 03:44:26,909
and being informed so that when

7045
03:44:27,212 --> 03:44:27,946
they do have the opportunity to

7046
03:44:27,946 --> 03:44:30,946
come speak they understand what

7047
03:44:31,583 --> 03:44:32,350
they're speaking on and about

7048
03:44:32,350 --> 03:44:35,950
and not just calling in and

7049
03:44:36,622 --> 03:44:37,220
making random random

7050
03:44:37,220 --> 03:44:39,220
statements.

7051
03:44:41,426 --> 03:44:44,426
>> I'm also concerned with this

7052
03:44:45,497 --> 03:44:46,298
possibility of a sun break

7053
03:44:46,298 --> 03:44:49,898
ranch with all the things that

7054
03:44:50,802 --> 03:44:51,202
are going on and these cuts no

7055
03:44:51,202 --> 03:44:51,803
backup plan.

7056
03:44:51,803 --> 03:44:54,203
>> I'm really doing some

7057
03:44:55,574 --> 03:44:56,275
research as Maxine stated with

7058
03:44:56,275 --> 03:44:59,275
Steve Cushman Now I'm starting

7059
03:45:00,412 --> 03:45:01,179
to go down a rabbit hole

7060
03:45:01,179 --> 03:45:04,779
because if it's not Sun Break

7061
03:45:05,718 --> 03:45:06,485
ranch then what is it?

7062
03:45:06,485 --> 03:45:08,885
Transparency I think is

7063
03:45:10,455 --> 03:45:14,550
necessary for me and my family.

7064
03:45:14,326 --> 03:45:14,994
>> And it also seems that

7065
03:45:14,994 --> 03:45:18,594
the county is starting to go

7066
03:45:19,732 --> 03:45:20,365
this direction as in now

7067
03:45:20,365 --> 03:45:22,365
reframing homelessness as

7068
03:45:23,903 --> 03:45:24,703
mental illness and addiction

7069
03:45:24,703 --> 03:45:28,303
which I have neither of those

7070
03:45:29,400 --> 03:45:33,840
but yet I will still be in this

7071
03:45:33,845 --> 03:45:34,713
possible homeless category.

7072
03:45:34,713 --> 03:45:38,313
Also what's concerning to me is

7073
03:45:38,851 --> 03:45:39,552
that I was reading our tfa

7074
03:45:39,552 --> 03:45:40,850
teachers data and how many

7075
03:45:40,850 --> 03:45:42,850
people have entered

7076
03:45:44,230 --> 03:45:44,457
homelessness and how many

7077
03:45:44,457 --> 03:45:45,291
people exited.

7078
03:45:45,291 --> 03:45:48,594
I have came to learn that they

7079
03:45:48,594 --> 03:45:51,594
do not do statistics past 18

7080
03:45:52,831 --> 03:45:53,532
months of a person staying

7081
03:45:53,532 --> 03:45:56,532
housed or unhoused And these

7082
03:45:57,703 --> 03:45:58,471
are certain things that I think

7083
03:45:58,471 --> 03:45:59,138
we should be keeping track of

7084
03:45:59,138 --> 03:46:02,138
because if we're not keeping

7085
03:46:03,209 --> 03:46:03,909
people housed then we're just

7086
03:46:03,909 --> 03:46:06,909
doing this vicious cycle and

7087
03:46:08,247 --> 03:46:08,948
it's causing distrust amongst

7088
03:46:08,948 --> 03:46:09,649
our community and the unhoused

7089
03:46:09,649 --> 03:46:13,249
people and they don't want to

7090
03:46:13,419 --> 03:46:14,850
have any.

7091
03:46:14,850 --> 03:46:14,486
Sir, your time has come.

7092
03:46:14,486 --> 03:46:15,388
Thank you.

7093
03:46:15,388 --> 03:46:18,988
Becky Rapp, if you can please

7094
03:46:19,659 --> 03:46:20,226
unmute.

7095
03:46:20,226 --> 03:46:21,193
>> Good evening.

7096
03:46:21,193 --> 03:46:24,793
My name is Becky Rapp and

7097
03:46:25,164 --> 03:46:25,865
tonight I would like to share

7098
03:46:25,865 --> 03:46:29,168
with the council what I shared

7099
03:46:29,168 --> 03:46:29,835
with the active transportation

7100
03:46:29,835 --> 03:46:30,202
and Infrastructure Committee

7101
03:46:30,202 --> 03:46:30,937
last week.

7102
03:46:30,937 --> 03:46:33,873
As I am concerned for road

7103
03:46:33,873 --> 03:46:34,473
safety and the real

7104
03:46:34,473 --> 03:46:35,740
consequences of reducing

7105
03:46:35,740 --> 03:46:37,442
staffing in program that

7106
03:46:37,442 --> 03:46:38,144
support Vision Zero.

7107
03:46:38,144 --> 03:46:40,544
>> Traffic deaths continue to

7108
03:46:42,280 --> 03:46:42,982
be a serious public safety

7109
03:46:42,982 --> 03:46:45,982
issue and nationally about one

7110
03:46:47,120 --> 03:46:47,553
third of fatal crashes involved

7111
03:46:47,553 --> 03:46:48,287
in per driver.

7112
03:46:48,287 --> 03:46:51,287
That includes not only alcohol

7113
03:46:52,525 --> 03:46:52,892
but also drugs including

7114
03:46:52,892 --> 03:46:54,892
marijuana.

7115
03:46:57,163 --> 03:46:57,797
Federal data proves that many

7116
03:46:57,797 --> 03:46:58,431
drivers involved in fatal

7117
03:46:58,431 --> 03:46:58,798
crashes test positive for

7118
03:46:58,798 --> 03:47:00,798
marijuana.

7119
03:47:02,635 --> 03:47:03,336
When we reduce staffing for say

7120
03:47:03,336 --> 03:47:03,903
for traffic safety, we're not

7121
03:47:03,903 --> 03:47:06,303
simply cutting back on

7122
03:47:06,372 --> 03:47:06,939
positions, we're weakening

7123
03:47:06,939 --> 03:47:07,640
education planning and

7124
03:47:07,640 --> 03:47:10,400
enforcement efforts that help

7125
03:47:11,444 --> 03:47:11,777
prevent crashes before they

7126
03:47:11,777 --> 03:47:12,512
happen.

7127
03:47:12,512 --> 03:47:16,112
At the same time, California is

7128
03:47:16,683 --> 03:47:17,282
advancing assembly Bill 2697

7129
03:47:17,282 --> 03:47:19,682
which would allow local

7130
03:47:21,321 --> 03:47:21,921
governments to authorize drive

7131
03:47:21,921 --> 03:47:22,455
thru marijuana sales at

7132
03:47:22,455 --> 03:47:24,455
licensed pot shops.

7133
03:47:25,924 --> 03:47:26,626
The bill has already passed

7134
03:47:26,626 --> 03:47:27,226
the Assembly and continues to

7135
03:47:27,226 --> 03:47:29,626
move through the Senate.

7136
03:47:30,864 --> 03:47:31,497
This proposal moves us in

7137
03:47:31,497 --> 03:47:31,898
the opposite direction of

7138
03:47:31,898 --> 03:47:32,565
Vision Zero.

7139
03:47:32,565 --> 03:47:35,501
It's also important to know

7140
03:47:35,501 --> 03:47:36,169
that there's nothing in

7141
03:47:36,169 --> 03:47:36,836
the bill prohibiting adults

7142
03:47:36,836 --> 03:47:37,537
from purchasing pot products

7143
03:47:37,537 --> 03:47:40,537
while children are sitting in

7144
03:47:40,673 --> 03:47:41,474
the back seat of the car.

7145
03:47:41,474 --> 03:47:42,141
That sends the wrong message to

7146
03:47:42,141 --> 03:47:44,541
families and undermines our

7147
03:47:45,612 --> 03:47:46,112
efforts to protect public

7148
03:47:46,112 --> 03:47:48,112
the young people.

7149
03:47:50,450 --> 03:47:51,151
If we're serious about

7150
03:47:51,151 --> 03:47:53,551
eliminating traffic deaths, we

7151
03:47:54,353 --> 03:47:55,880
should not be reducing vision

7152
03:47:55,880 --> 03:47:55,721
zero resources Why Policies are

7153
03:47:55,721 --> 03:47:58,121
being advanced that could

7154
03:47:59,959 --> 03:48:00,560
increase the convene instead of

7155
03:48:00,560 --> 03:48:00,926
purchasing intoxicating

7156
03:48:00,926 --> 03:48:01,560
products.

7157
03:48:01,560 --> 03:48:05,160
So I urge this council to

7158
03:48:05,164 --> 03:48:05,866
consider the importance of

7159
03:48:05,866 --> 03:48:06,199
transportation, transportation

7160
03:48:06,199 --> 03:48:08,199
safety.

7161
03:48:09,870 --> 03:48:12,270
Continue investing and Vision

7162
03:48:13,840 --> 03:48:14,140
zero and publicly oppose ab

7163
03:48:14,140 --> 03:48:14,574
2697.

7164
03:48:14,574 --> 03:48:14,941
>> Thank you.

7165
03:48:14,941 --> 03:48:15,575
Thank you.

7166
03:48:15,575 --> 03:48:17,975
That does conclude public

7167
03:48:18,712 --> 03:48:19,244
knowledge and a public comment

7168
03:48:19,244 --> 03:48:19,612
on today's meeting.

7169
03:48:19,612 --> 03:48:20,180
All right.

7170
03:48:20,180 --> 03:48:20,880
Thank you, City Clerk.

7171
03:48:20,880 --> 03:48:23,283
And with that does the office

7172
03:48:23,283 --> 03:48:23,950
of the city attorney have

7173
03:48:23,950 --> 03:48:24,416
anything to report out from

7174
03:48:24,416 --> 03:48:25,118
closed session?

7175
03:48:25,118 --> 03:48:27,518
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

7176
03:48:27,587 --> 03:48:28,540
There's no report out from

7177
03:48:28,540 --> 03:48:28,488
closed session.

7178
03:48:28,488 --> 03:48:28,888
>> All right.

7179
03:48:28,888 --> 03:48:29,723
Thank you.

7180
03:48:29,723 --> 03:48:32,492
We have one adjournment in

7181
03:48:32,492 --> 03:48:32,826
memory by council member

7182
03:48:32,826 --> 03:48:34,826
Moreno.

7183
03:48:37,297 --> 03:48:37,964
>> I respectfully request that

7184
03:48:37,964 --> 03:48:38,598
the council adjourn today's

7185
03:48:38,598 --> 03:48:41,598
meeting in memory of MISS

7186
03:48:42,102 --> 03:48:42,736
Veronica Medina, a committed

7187
03:48:42,736 --> 03:48:45,136
and influential member of

7188
03:48:46,840 --> 03:48:47,641
the San Isidro community.

7189
03:48:47,641 --> 03:48:50,410
MISS Medina peacefully passed

7190
03:48:51,100 --> 03:48:51,678
away on JUNE 19th, 2026.

7191
03:48:51,678 --> 03:48:54,678
MISS Benita was a natural

7192
03:48:55,949 --> 03:48:56,750
leader with a kind heart.

7193
03:48:56,750 --> 03:48:57,417
Her dedication, compassion and

7194
03:48:57,417 --> 03:49:00,417
humility were evident in her

7195
03:49:00,987 --> 03:49:01,421
work with the San Isidro Youth

7196
03:49:01,421 --> 03:49:02,189
and Families.

7197
03:49:02,189 --> 03:49:05,189
As the coordinator of Pupil

7198
03:49:06,626 --> 03:49:07,394
Services ses at the San Ysidro

7199
03:49:07,394 --> 03:49:10,394
School District during the many

7200
03:49:11,131 --> 03:49:11,732
years I had the privilege of

7201
03:49:11,732 --> 03:49:12,399
knowing her through her

7202
03:49:12,399 --> 03:49:15,399
community work and our time

7203
03:49:15,601 --> 03:49:16,360
together in the San Isidro

7204
03:49:16,360 --> 03:49:16,670
Women's Club.

7205
03:49:16,670 --> 03:49:19,700
MISS Medina's presence was

7206
03:49:20,107 --> 03:49:20,806
unfair unforgettable.

7207
03:49:20,806 --> 03:49:21,441
Her laughter alone would have

7208
03:49:21,441 --> 03:49:21,808
let you know she was in

7209
03:49:21,808 --> 03:49:23,808
the room.

7210
03:49:25,445 --> 03:49:26,146
The same warmth, grace and joy

7211
03:49:26,146 --> 03:49:29,146
guided the way she served

7212
03:49:30,283 --> 03:49:30,984
others and reflected the hope

7213
03:49:30,984 --> 03:49:31,351
she carried for the San Isidro

7214
03:49:31,351 --> 03:49:33,351
community.

7215
03:49:34,588 --> 03:49:35,289
She made it her mission to

7216
03:49:35,289 --> 03:49:35,922
improve the lives of students

7217
03:49:35,922 --> 03:49:38,322
outside of the classroom.

7218
03:49:39,193 --> 03:49:39,826
In doing this she provided

7219
03:49:39,826 --> 03:49:40,561
students with the external

7220
03:49:40,561 --> 03:49:44,161
foundation needed to be able to

7221
03:49:44,164 --> 03:49:44,865
learn.

7222
03:49:44,865 --> 03:49:45,432
This commitment was reflected

7223
03:49:45,432 --> 03:49:47,832
in her development of

7224
03:49:48,635 --> 03:49:49,236
the Primero homeless program

7225
03:49:49,236 --> 03:49:51,636
which aimed to eliminate

7226
03:49:53,474 --> 03:49:54,410
barriers to education for

7227
03:49:54,410 --> 03:49:54,675
students and families

7228
03:49:54,675 --> 03:49:56,675
experiencing homelessness.

7229
03:49:58,112 --> 03:49:58,746
Through her work, MS. Medina

7230
03:49:58,746 --> 03:49:59,413
built a strong network of

7231
03:49:59,413 --> 03:50:01,413
community partnerships that

7232
03:50:03,717 --> 03:50:04,451
connected students families to

7233
03:50:04,451 --> 03:50:06,851
mental health services, housing

7234
03:50:08,856 --> 03:50:09,522
assistance, food resources and

7235
03:50:09,522 --> 03:50:11,922
other essential support for

7236
03:50:13,327 --> 03:50:13,994
daily life.

7237
03:50:13,994 --> 03:50:14,727
MS. Medina cultivated a safe

7238
03:50:14,727 --> 03:50:17,127
and welcoming environment where

7239
03:50:18,532 --> 03:50:19,266
she was known as a trusted

7240
03:50:19,266 --> 03:50:19,600
colleague, advocate, mentor and

7241
03:50:19,600 --> 03:50:21,600
friend.

7242
03:50:23,337 --> 03:50:24,380
Throughout her life MS. Medina

7243
03:50:24,380 --> 03:50:27,380
was recognized many times for

7244
03:50:27,875 --> 03:50:28,375
her service and dedication And

7245
03:50:28,375 --> 03:50:29,760

7246
03:50:29,760 --> 03:50:31,476
contributions and ensure that

7247
03:50:33,147 --> 03:50:33,848

7248
03:50:33,848 --> 03:50:34,447
youth families and the broader

7249
03:50:34,447 --> 03:50:36,847
community will never be

7250
03:50:37,484 --> 03:50:38,185
forgotten.

7251
03:50:38,185 --> 03:50:38,886
My deepest condolences to her

7252
03:50:38,886 --> 03:50:41,886

7253
03:50:43,157 --> 03:50:43,457
Dearly and MAY she rest in

7254
03:50:43,457 --> 03:50:44,124
