00:42:15,228 --> 00:42:15,862 Before coming to San Diego I 895 00:42:15,862 --> 00:42:16,596 received my undergraduate 896 00:42:16,596 --> 00:42:20,196 degree from uc Santa Barbara in 897

00:42:27,372 watching videos pre body cam 901 00:42:27,372 --> 00:42:27,941 videos of police interactions 902 00:42:27,941 --> 00:42:28,341 between civilians and 903 00:42:28,341 --> 00:42:30,341 the police. 904 00:42:33,446 --> 00:42:34,147 And understanding the ways that 905 00:42:34,147 --> 00:42:34,748 interactions happen creating a 906 00:42:34,748 --> 00:42:37,148 playbook of policies and 907 00:42:39,850 --> 00:42:39,752 tendencies that police have 908 00:42:39,752 --> 00:42:40,253 when dealing with different 909 00:42:40,253 --> 00:42:40,953 groups of people. 910 00:42:40,953 --> 00:42:43,953 And I also read multiple 911 00:42:46,225 --> 00:42:46,893 transcriptions dealing with 912 00:42:46,893 --> 00:42:47,594 interviews between civilians 913 00:42:47,594 --> 00:42:49,994 sending complaints to Seattle 914 00:42:51,665 --> 00:42:52,399 pd and the responding in 915 00:42:52,399 --> 00:42:53,990 subsequent interviews that took 916 00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:56,990 place between the officers and 917 00:42:57,404 --> 00:42:58,170 those civilians. 918 00:42:58,170 --> 00:42:58,938 So I would love to have 919 00:42:58,938 --> 00:43:02,538 the position to be on this 920 00:43:03,476 --> 00:43:04,177 commission because although I 921 00:43:04,177 --> 00:43:04,945 have my research background I 922 00:43:04,945 --> 00:43:09,145 really want to be able to help 923

--> 00:43:16,223 both police and civilians. 927 00:43:16,223 --> 00:43:16,924 And I think that being able to 928 00:43:16,924 --> 00:43:17,591 have this hands on experience 929 00:43:17,591 -->

00:43:49,553 Over the past 20 years I've 951 00:43:50,891 --> 00:43:51,490 spent most of my time focused 952 00:43:51,490 --> 00:43:51,858 on building the current 953 00:43:51,858 --> 00:43:52,426 business. 954 00:43:52,426 --> 00:43:53,930 I've traveled all over 955 00:43:53,930 --> 00:43:56,930 the United States and built 956 00:43:56,163 --> 00:43:56,863 quite a few different places. 957 00:43:56,863 --> 00:44:00,463 And until I placed kind of 958 00:44:01,401 --> 00:44:02,135 roots here in San Diego, I 959 00:44:02,135 --> 00:44:02,735 didn't realize that the need to 960 00:44:02,735 --> 00:44:05,135 serve in the community. 961 00:44:07,874 --> 00:44:08,542 And since then I've actually 962 00:44:08,542 --> 00:44:09,242 started looking actively for 963 00:44:09,242 --> 00:44:09,977

00:52:56,605 I have to find it, figure out 1242 00:52:56,605 --> 00:53:00,205 the evidence behind it and find 1243 00:53:00,743 --> 00:53:01,443 every possible aspect that 1244 00:53:01,443 -->

1251 00:53:10,786 --> 00:53:11,387 point and could have a 1252 00:53:11,387 --> 00:53:12,540 possibility to influence 1253 00:53:12,540 --> 00:53:15,391 the facts that were given um 1254 00:53:15,391 --> 00:53:16,580 with my research experience I 1255 00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:16,759 spent an extensive amount of 1256 00:53:16,759 --> 00:53:19,962 time doing just that and just 1257 00:53:19,962 -->

00:53:25,234 take something like a 1261 00:53:25,234 --> 00:53:25,901 transcript or an audio 1262 00:53:25,901 --> 00:53:28,901 transcript and then use each 1263 00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:30,740 way that

decision. 1267 00:53:35,411 --> 00:53:36,112 I think it's very important to 1268 00:53:36,112 --> 00:53:39,115 look at the bigger picture and 1269 00:53:39,115 --> 00:53:39,749 then take each part of that 1270 00:53:39,749 --> 00:53:40,450 bigger picture and create 1271 00:53:40,450 --> 00:53:41,170 smaller pictures and use that 1272 00:53:41,170 --> 00:53:43,752 to be as impartial and 1273

put those facts 1289 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:17,754 together before you can reach a 1290 00:54:17,754 --> 00:54:20,754 conclusion about how you think 1291 00:54:21,424 --> 00:54:21,857 and feel and understand 1292 00:54:21,857 --> 00:54:22,491 the material. 1293 00:54:22,491 --> 00:54:26,910 And I see that being no 1294 00:54:27,230 --> 00:54:28,640 different in this case. 1295 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:28,731 I wish it weren't that way on 1296 00:54:28,731 --> 00:54:29,265 social media more but that's 1297 00:54:29,265 --> 00:54:31,601 not the way it goes. 1298 00:54:31,601 --> 00:54:33,601 Thank you. 1299 00:54:38,641 --> 00:54:38,974 And then sorry. 1300 00:54:38,974 --> 00:54:40,974 Hello. 1301 00:54:43,279 --> 00:54:44,120 To me I think that in the past 1302 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:44,747 of Served on the Police 1303 00:54:44,747 --> 00:54:47,747 Accountability Board for uc San 1304 00:54:48,651 --> 00:54:49,352 Diego Police Department so 1305 00:54:49,352 --> 00:54:49,886 that's something that is that 1306 00:54:49,886 --> 00:54:51,886 comes naturally with 1307 00:54:53,689 --> 00:54:54,390 the position Furthermore for a 1308 00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:57,990 big part of working in in 1309 00:54:58,260 --> 00:54:58,962 research and my own like major 1310 00:54:58,962 --> 00:55:02,562 at uc San Diego which is 1311 00:55:03,299 --> 00:55:03,933 cognitive science is understand 1312 00:55:03,933 --> 00:55:04,667 what the facts are before 1313 00:55:04,667 --> 00:55:07,804 making a conclusion You know we 1314 00:55:07,804 --> 00:55:08,571 can have a hypothesis we can 1315 00:55:08,571 --> 00:55:09,271 have an idea of like where 1316 00:55:09,271 --> 00:55:09,939 we're going but we need to 1317 00:55:09,939 --> 00:55:12,339 clearly understand where all 1318 00:55:13,443 --> 00:55:14,144 the facts are, find out what 1319 00:55:14,144 --> 00:55:17,744 points go for and against an 1320 00:55:18,130 --> 00:55:18,514 argument in order to finally 1321 00:55:18,514 --> 00:55:19,349 make that case. 1322 00:55:19,349 --> 00:55:20,490 So I think that to me fact 1323 00:55:20,490 --> 00:55:22,449 finding comes very naturally 1324 00:55:23,252 --> 00:55:23,987 also understanding where all 1325 00:55:23,987 --> 00:55:24,821 these facts are coming from and 1326 00:55:24,821 --> 00:55:27,230 making sure we have a clear cut 1327 00:55:27,230 --> 00:55:27,657 procedure for investigating 1328 00:55:27,657 --> 00:55:28,391 every single complaint and 1329 00:55:28,391 --> 00:55:31,991 doing it fairly because we want 1330 00:55:32,262 --> 00:55:32,929 to increase the trust in these 1331 00:55:32,929 --> 00:55:33,663 systems rather than diminish 1332 00:55:33,663 --> 00:55:35,999 them through manners which like 1333 00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:36,966 cut corners in some way. 1334 00:55:36,966 --> 00:55:40,566 >> That's that's how I see it. 1335 00:55:43,540 --> 00:55:44,400 Thank you Emmanuel Marin if you 1336 00:55:44,400 -->

like 1340 00:55:51,810 --> 00:55:51,814 to point to both my 1341 00:55:51,814 --> 00:55:52,482 professional background as well 1342 00:55:52,482 --> 00:55:54,882 as my scholastic background. 1343 00:55:55,652 --> 00:55:55,952 Personally I work with a ton of 1344 00:55:55,952 --> 00:55:56,820 data. 1345 00:55:56,820 --> 00:56:00,323 I don't really go in when I 1346 00:56:00,323 --> 00:56:01,570 started doing analysis I don't 1347 00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:01,758 with any preconceived notion of 1348 00:56:01,758 --> 00:56:05,494 what the facts or in this case 1349 00:56:05,494 --> 00:56:06,262 the numbers kind of tell me 1350 00:56:06,262 --> 00:56:07,430 the story and I go from there. 1351 00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:10,366 But I do think I have a pretty 1352 00:56:10,366 --> 00:56:11,670 strong grasp on what's kind of 1353 00:56:11,670 --> 00:56:14,670 removing bias and just looking 1354 00:56:14,905 --> 00:56:15,605 at things objectively as well 1355 00:56:15,605 --> 00:56:16,406 As I did point out, my 1356 00:56:16,406 --> 00:56:19,141 background as a lawyer studies 1357 00:56:19,141 --> 00:56:21,541 major for undergrad just 1358 00:56:24,314 --> 00:56:24,915 because I think

1362 00:56:29,519 --> 00:56:30,287 at things through a set of 1363 00:56:30,287 --> 00:56:33,287 rules and being objective even 1364 00:56:34,190 --> 00:56:34,757 if things feel like they should 1365 00:56:34,757 --> 00:56:35,124 go certain layer if it 1366 00:56:35,124 --> 00:56:37,124 shouldn't. 1367 00:56:38,428 --> 00:56:39,129 I'd like to think that I that 1368 00:56:39,129 --> 00:56:40,664

01:00:57,722 So I filed a police report in 1497 01:00:57,722 --> 01:01:00,122 the police station and 1498 01:01:01,893 --> 01:01:02,594 the police ended up saying that 1499 01:01:02,594 --> 01:01:03,561 I was mentally ill and taking 1500 01:01:03,561 --> 01:01:06,497 me to a psych ward And in 1501 01:01:06,497 --> 01:01:07,164 the psych ward they actually 1502 01:01:07,164 --> 01:01:10,764 abused me by reading my mind 1503 01:01:10,969 --> 01:01:14,569 and held me in voluntarily and 1504 01:01:15,573 --> 01:01:16,307 called me mentally ill and 1505 01:01:16,307 --> 01:01:16,974 accused me of being mentally 1506 01:01:16,974 --> 01:01:17,609 ill and I was actually being 1507 01:01:17,609 --> 01:01:20,900 harassed by my neighbors. 1508 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:21,713 They were on the Internet calls 1509 01:01:21,713 --> 01:01:24,713 it like other people who 1510 01:01:26,251 --> 01:01:26,685 experienced they call it like 1511 01:01:26,685 --> 01:01:27,452 play by play. 1512 01:01:27,452 --> 01:01:28,186 So it's like a sports broadcast 1513 01:01:28,186 --> 01:01:31,186 You're saying what you're doing 1514 01:01:31,389 --> 01:01:32,123 and my neighbors could see 1515 01:01:32,123 --> 01:01:32,856 through my eyes through calling 1516 01:01:32,856 --> 01:01:33,758 the Cardinals concerning what I 1517 01:01:33,758 --> 01:01:34,426 was

staff came and told 1525 01:01:53,378 --> 01:01:55,778 these individuals there would 1526 01:01:57,414 --> 01:01:58,490 be a criminal background check 1527 01:01:58,490 --> 01:01:58,850 after this whole process. 1528 01:01:58,850 --> 01:02:01,850 I'm wondering if that's putting 1529 01:02:03,221 --> 01:02:03,922 the cart before the horse and 1530 01:02:03,922 --> 01:02:07,192 maybe we should do that prior 1531 01:02:07,192 --> 01:02:08,930 because then what do you do And 1532 01:02:08,930 --> 01:02:08,760 then we have to come back here 1533 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,760 and repeat this business And 1534 01:02:11,997 --> 01:02:12,597 Steve and I find it so 1535 01:02:12,597 --> 01:02:13,299 hypocritical that you're 1536 01:02:13,299 --> 01:02:16,299 actually asking if somebody is 1537 01:02:17,134 --> 01:02:17,836 going to have some kind of 1538 01:02:17,836 --> 01:02:18,603 sound judgment or if they are 1539 01:02:18,603 --> 01:02:21,908 going to be biased if they have 1540 01:02:21,908 --> 01:02:22,540 a you know, opinion about floc 1541 01:02:22,540 --> 01:02:25,540 when Theresa Smith is your 1542 01:02:26,311 --> 01:02:26,978 friend and people are dying in 1543 01:02:26,978 --> 01:02:27,679 Tent City who are your 1544 01:02:27,679 --> 01:02:30,679 constituents and you just turn 1545 01:02:31,650 --> 01:02:32,517 a blind eye like you are now. 1546 01:02:32,517 --> 01:02:33,251 And this is sad because this 1547 01:02:33,251 --> 01:02:35,651 doesn't give anybody authority. 1548 01:02:36,121 --> 01:02:36,822 Unfortunately all these people 1549 01:02:36,822 --> 01:02:37,422 are good candidates but when 1550 01:02:37,422 --> 01:02:40,422 there is no authority to 1551 01:02:41,460 --> 01:02:42,294 enforce things all they're 1552 01:02:42,294 --> 01:02:42,994 going to be doing is a bunch of 1553 01:02:42,994 --> 01:02:43,662 busywork to make it seem like 1554 01:02:43,662 --> 01:02:45,662 there's accountability with 1555 01:02:46,310 --> 01:02:46,697 the law enforcement And that is 1556 01:02:46,697 --> 01:02:48,835 extremely unfortunate and a 1557 01:02:48,835 --> 01:02:51,235 waste of their time. 1558 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,406

01:52:15,377 contract value over the full 2417 01:52:15,981 --> 01:52:16,648 ten year period to 2418 01:52:16,648 --> 01:52:17,282 approximately $1.2 million. 2419 01:52:17,282 --> 01:52:17,815 Funding for the service is 2420 01:52:17,815 --> 01:52:19,815 already included in 2421 01:52:20,886 --> 01:52:23,286 the department's ongoing fiscal 2422 01:52:24,489 --> 01:52:25,223 year 27 budget with 2423 01:52:25,223 --> 01:52:25,891 approximately $119,000 budgeted 2424 01:52:25,891 --> 01:52:28,891 for the current fiscal year. 2425 01:52:29,527 --> 01:52:30,228 This ongoing base budget 2426 01:52:30,228 --> 01:52:33,228 allocation would have to be 2427 01:52:34,366 --> 01:52:37,966 amended to account for any of 2428 01:52:38,737 --> 01:52:39,370 the increases due to inflation 2429 01:52:39,370 --> 01:52:39,905 . 2430 01:52:39,905 --> 01:52:40,205 With this I hand it over to 2431 01:52:40,205 --> 01:52:40,706 Alex. 2432 01:52:40,706 --> 01:52:42,706 Thank you Patrick. 2433 01:52:44,900 --> 01:52:44,643 So choreograph is a 2434 01:52:44,643 --> 01:52:45,277 Transportation Department 2435 01:52:45,277 --> 01:52:47,277 Specialized Payment Asset 2436 01:52:48,713 --> 01:52:49,448 Management System. 2437 01:52:49,448 --> 01:52:51,848 Carter complements the city's 2438 01:52:52,784 --> 01:52:53,452 sap enterprise system and it it 2439 01:52:53,452 --> 01:52:54,151 provides specialized payment 2440 01:52:54,151 --> 01:52:56,151 engineering capabilities that 2441 01:52:58,560 --> 01:52:58,824 sap is not designed to perform. 2442 01:52:58,824 --> 01:52:59,458 What it does is it uses 2443 01:52:59,458 --> 01:53:01,858 the payment condition data 2444 01:53:03,940 --> 01:53:03,695 collected through the city and 2445 01:53:03,695 --> 01:53:04,362 Carter Graph calculates 2446 01:53:04,362 --> 01:53:06,762 the payment condition index 2447 01:53:07,599 --> 01:53:08,233 the pci and models how 2448 01:53:08,233 --> 01:53:08,901 the payment conditions are 2449 01:53:08,901 --> 01:53:11,301 expected to deteriorate over 2450 01:53:12,537 --> 01:53:13,171 time. 2451 01:53:13,171 --> 01:53:13,839 These engineering analysis 2452 01:53:13,839 --> 01:53:16,839 helps us determine the right 2453 01:53:16,908 --> 01:53:17,676 treatment at the right time. 2454 01:53:17,676 --> 01:53:18,377 It allows us to maximize 2455 01:53:18,377 --> 01:53:21,977 payment life and make the best 2456 01:53:21,980 --> 01:53:22,513 use of limited funding for for 2457 01:53:22,513 --> 01:53:23,115 payment maintenance. 2458 01:53:23,115 --> 01:53:25,515 The system also supports 2459 01:53:26,685 --> 01:53:27,391 the development of our annual 2460 01:53:27,391 --> 01:53:28,120 slurry seal and rehabilitation 2461 01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,720 programs as well as the long 2462 01:53:31,824 --> 01:53:32,224 range payment investment 2463 01:53:32,224 --> 01:53:32,925 strategies. 2464 01:53:32,925 --> 01:53:35,325 And finally using specialized 2465 01:53:36,695 --> 01:53:37,429 payment management software it 2466 01:53:37,429 --> 01:53:40,429 is consistent with the industry 2467 01:53:41,632 --> 01:53:42,334 practice Many cities counties 2468 01:53:42,334 --> 01:53:43,100 and state dots use dedicated 2469 01:53:43,100 --> 01:53:45,100 payment management platforms 2470 01:53:46,971 --> 01:53:47,672 because enterprise systems like 2471 01:53:47,672 --> 01:53:48,373 sap aren't designed to perform 2472 01:53:48,373 --> 01:53:50,373 payment engineering analysis. 2473 01:53:52,277 --> 01:53:52,910 Such as pci calculations, 2474 01:53:52,910 --> 01:53:54,910 deterioration modeling and 2475 01:53:56,348 --> 01:53:56,749 lifestyle lifecycle 2476 01:53:56,749 --> 01:53:57,383 forecasting. 2477 01:53:57,383 --> 01:54:00,383 And why is this important? 2478 01:54:01,953 --> 01:54:02,421 So the cardiogram is much more 2479 01:54:02,421 --> 01:54:03,222 than a database. 2480 01:54:03,222 --> 01:54:06,222 It serves as the engineering 2481 01:54:06,458 --> 01:54:06,992 backbone of the city's payment 2482 01:54:06,992 --> 01:54:07,592 management program. 2483 01:54:07,592 --> 01:54:10,592 It maintains all of our 2484 01:54:11,330 --> 01:54:11,897 pavement inventory, historical 2485 01:54:11,897 --> 01:54:12,498 condition assessments, 2486 01:54:12,498 --> 01:54:14,498 maintenance history and 2487 01:54:16,301 --> 01:54:17,200 provides the analytical tools 2488 01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:17,636 we use to support the budget 2489 01:54:17,636 --> 01:54:18,136 development and long term 2490 01:54:18,136 --> 01:54:20,136 capital planning. 2491 01:54:21,707 --> 01:54:22,441 The platform is also integrated 2492 01:54:22,441 --> 01:54:25,441 with the city's gas environment 2493 01:54:26,450 --> 01:54:27,450 and the public facing 2494 01:54:27,450 --> 01:54:30,645 application such as sts sdk gov 2495 01:54:31,450 --> 01:54:32,170 allowing the residents to view 2496 01:54:32,170 --> 01:54:32,550 payment conditions and 2497 01:54:32,550 --> 01:54:34,550 the planned projects 2498 01:54:35,887 --> 01:54:36,755 The planned paving projects. 2499 01:54:36,755 --> 01:54:37,423 One of the key reasons we are 2500 01:54:37,423 --> 01:54:39,423 recommending continuation of 2501 01:54:40,759 --> 01:54:41,360 the current platform is timing 2502 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,760 the city's beginning its 2503 01:54:45,397 --> 01:54:46,980 pavement condition assessment 2504 01:54:46,980 --> 01:54:46,865 this year during which every 2505 01:54:46,865 --> 01:54:49,865 street will be evaluated and 2506 01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:51,637 updated pci values will be 2507 01:54:51,637 --> 01:54:53,637 loaded into cartography. 2508 01:54:54,807 --> 01:54:55,508 This is one of the most data 2509 01:54:55,508 --> 01:54:55,974 intensive engineering efforts 2510 01:54:55,974 --> 01:54:57,974 that we perform. 2511 01:54:59,879 --> 01:55:00,546 So transitioning into a new 2512 01:55:00,546 --> 01:55:01,213 pavement management platform 2513 01:55:01,213 --> 01:55:04,213 during that same year would 2514 01:55:04,850 --> 01:55:05,550 require simulating Aeneas 2515 01:55:05,550 --> 01:55:06,252 migrating of historical data. 2516 01:55:06,252 --> 01:55:08,652 Configuring Integrating a new 2517 01:55:09,422 --> 01:55:09,922 system. 2518 01:55:09,922 --> 01:55:10,588 Rebuilding some of 2519 01:55:10,588 --> 01:55:12,988 the deterioration models and 2520 01:55:14,293 --> 01:55:14,894 the treatment decision Trees 2521 01:55:14,894 --> 01:55:15,494 that we programed into 2522 01:55:15,494 --> 01:55:17,894 cartography as well as 2523 01:55:19,980 --> 01:55:19,465 retraining staff with the new 2524 01:55:19,465 --> 01:55:20,660 platform. 2525 01:55:20,660 --> 01:55:22,335 So that would introduce 2526 01:55:22,335 --> 01:55:23,340 significant operational risk 2527 01:55:23,340 --> 01:55:23,703 During one of the city's most 2528 01:55:23,703 --> 01:55:25,703 critical pavement management 2529 01:55:27,306 --> 01:55:27,973 efforts. 2530 01:55:27,973 --> 01:55:28,674 Continuing with Carter Graph 2531 01:55:28,674 --> 01:55:32,178 would avoid the cost time and 2532 01:55:32,178 --> 01:55:32,911 disruption associated with 2533 01:55:32,911 --> 01:55:33,346 migrating more than a decade of 2534 01:55:33,346 --> 01:55:35,346 payment data. 2535 01:55:37,149 --> 01:55:37,850 Historical records, engineering 2536 01:55:37,850 --> 01:55:38,584 models and system integrations 2537 01:55:38,584 --> 01:55:41,584 which ensures the continuity of 2538 01:55:42,788 --> 01:55:43,456 operations during this critical 2539 01:55:43,456 --> 01:55:45,456 condition assessment cycle. 2540 01:55:47,793 --> 01:55:48,394 >> And this is our last slide 2541 01:55:48,394 --> 01:55:48,961 and it summarizes all 2542 01:55:48,961 --> 01:55:49,662 the reasons why it was 2543 01:55:49,662 --> 01:55:52,430 recommended to go with a sole 2544 01:55:52,430 --> 01:55:53,132 source extension. 2545 01:55:53,132 --> 01:55:53,766 Open Gov As a proprietary 2546 01:55:53,766 --> 01:55:56,166 computer software that has 2547 01:55:57,936 --> 01:55:58,638 performed reliably and over 2548 01:55:58,638 --> 01:55:59,305 the past five years like Alex 2549 01:55:59,305 --> 01:56:01,705 mentioned has become deeply 2550 01:56:02,442 --> 01:56:03,740 integrated into 2551 01:56:03,740 --> 01:56:03,743 the department's business 2552 01:56:03,743 --> 01:56:04,276 processes data reporting and 2553 01:56:04,276 --> 01:56:06,276 downstream systems. 2554 01:56:08,214 --> 01:56:08,748 Replacing the platform would 2555 01:56:08,748 --> 01:56:09,415 require significant 2556 01:56:09,415 --> 01:56:11,415 redevelopment customization 2557 01:56:12,618 --> 01:56:13,219 data migration testing and 2558 01:56:13,219 --> 01:56:13,919 staff training, creating 2559 01:56:13,919 --> 01:56:16,319 additional costs and potential 2560 01:56:17,223 --> 01:56:17,924 disruptions to the field 2561 01:56:17,924 --> 01:56:18,658 operations and reporting With 2562 01:56:18,658 --> 01:56:21,580 the upcoming pavement condition 2563 01:56:21,828 --> 01:56:22,394 assessment continuity is 2564 01:56:22,394 --> 01:56:24,394 especially important. 2565 01:56:26,566 --> 01:56:27,200 For these reasons extending 2566 01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:27,833 the existing agreement was 2567 01:56:27,833 --> 01:56:28,467 determined to be the most 2568 01:56:28,467 --> 01:56:30,867 practical and lowest risk 2569 01:56:31,104 --> 01:56:31,737 approach providing service 2570 01:56:31,737 --> 01:56:32,405 continuity and predictable 2571 01:56:32,405 --> 01:56:34,805 costs while avoiding lengthy 2572 01:56:35,774 --> 01:56:36,509 and complex system replacement. 2573 01:56:36,509 --> 01:56:38,909 This concludes our presentation 2574 01:56:40,713 --> 01:56:41,147 and we're happy to answer any 2575 01:56:41,147 --> 01:56:41,513 questions. 2576 01:56:41,513 --> 01:56:42,181 All right. 2577 01:56:42,181 --> 01:56:42,882 Thank you for the work and 2578 01:56:42,882 --> 01:56:43,582 thank you for the presentation 2579 01:56:43,582 --> 01:56:46,180 this afternoon and I will turn 2580 01:56:46,180 --> 01:56:46,552 it over to the office of 2581 01:56:46,552 --> 01:56:46,919 the rba for comment. 2582 01:56:46,919 --> 01:56:47,587 All right. 2583 01:56:47,587 --> 01:56:49,987 Thank you Council PRESIDENT. 2584 01:56:51,257 --> 01:56:51,758 So as you heard this is an item 2585 01:56:51,758 --> 01:56:52,458 of a request from 2586 01:56:52,458 --> 01:56:54,458 the Transportation Department 2587 01:56:54,961 --> 01:56:55,628 for the extension of a source 2588 01:56:55,628 --> 01:56:56,162 North Agreement for pavement 2589 01:56:56,162 --> 01:56:56,863 management software. 2590 01:56:56,863 --> 01:56:59,863 That contract is currently set 2591 01:57:00,990 --> 01:57:00,867 to expire in early SEPTEMBER. 2592 01:57:00,867 --> 01:57:01,767 Today that direct docket is 2593 01:57:01,767 --> 01:57:05,238 being driven by a need to avoid 2594 01:57:05,238 --> 01:57:05,672 a lapse in coverage for 2595 01:57:05,672 --> 01:57:06,372 the software. 2596 01:57:06,372 --> 01:57:08,772 While the cardiogram software 2597 01:57:10,430 --> 01:57:10,409 does provide benefits to 2598 01:57:10,409 --> 01:57:11,211 the city. 2599 01:57:11,211 --> 01:57:11,878 Our office does want to raise a 2600 01:57:11,878 --> 01:57:12,245 few procedural concerns with 2601 01:57:12,245 --> 01:57:14,245 this item. 2602 01:57:15,348 --> 01:57:15,682 First is just a concern about 2603 01:57:15,682 --> 01:57:16,483 timing. 2604 01:57:16,483 --> 01:57:18,985 While this contract has been in 2605 01:57:18,985 --> 01:57:19,551 effect for five years, our 2606 01:57:19,551 --> 01:57:20,219 understanding is that 2607 01:57:20,219 --> 01:57:22,619 transportation only began to 2608 01:57:23,989 --> 01:57:24,624 evaluate Looking for a 2609 01:57:24,624 --> 01:57:25,291 replacement in JANUARY or 2610 01:57:25,291 --> 01:57:25,558 FEBRUARY roughly six months 2611 01:57:25,558 --> 01:57:27,558 ago. 2612 01:57:29,629 --> 01:57:30,263 Additionally, it also appears 2613 01:57:30,263 --> 01:57:30,963 that the request to extend 2614 01:57:30,963 --> 01:57:31,631 the sole source agreement was 2615 01:57:31,631 --> 01:57:34,133 only made to purchasing and 2616 01:57:34,133 --> 01:57:34,901 contracting in late MAY. 2617 01:57:34,901 --> 01:57:38,501 And that sole source was only 2618 01:57:39,710 --> 01:57:39,773 approved in early JUNE. 2619 01:57:39,773 --> 01:57:40,473 It then took an additional 2620 01:57:40,473 --> 01:57:41,700 month before the item and its 2621 01:57:41,700 --> 01:57:43,700 materials were sent. 2622 01:57:43,376 --> 01:57:44,770 On one issue of last week to 2623 01:57:44,770 --> 01:57:47,677 our office for our own review 2624 01:57:47,747 --> 01:57:48,448 this timeline particularly for 2625 01:57:48,448 --> 01:57:49,182 a sole source extension really 2626 01:57:49,182 --> 01:57:52,182 doesn't provide enough time for 2627 01:57:52,719 --> 01:57:53,190 us to conduct a thorough review 2628 01:57:53,190 --> 01:57:53,887 . 2629 01:57:53,887 --> 01:57:54,688 And to that extent I want to 2630 01:57:54,688 --> 01:57:57,688 stress to both staff and 2631 01:57:58,458 --> 01:57:59,920 the administration that ample 2632 01:57:59,920 --> 01:57:59,726 lead time to review items 2633 01:57:59,726 --> 01:58:02,126 particularly when they are 2634 01:58:02,696 --> 01:58:03,363 direct docketed is crucial to 2635 01:58:03,363 --> 01:58:04,640 the city's oversight process 2636 01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:07,833 and to our own ability to vet 2637 01:58:07,833 --> 01:58:08,168 items that come before this 2638 01:58:08,168 --> 01:58:08,835 council. 2639 01:58:08,835 --> 01:58:11,235 Our more significant concern 2640 01:58:13,390 --> 01:58:13,740 however, is really associated 2641 01:58:13,740 --> 01:58:14,441 with this being for courier to 2642 01:58:14,441 --> 01:58:17,441 through a sole source process 2643 01:58:17,577 --> 01:58:18,378 during the abbreviated review 2644 01:58:18,378 --> 01:58:19,790 that we did conduct we asked 2645 01:58:19,790 --> 01:58:21,815 for justification as to why a 2646 01:58:21,815 --> 01:58:22,516 sole source extension for a 2647 01:58:22,516 --> 01:58:23,115 software package is necessary. 2648 01:58:23,115 --> 01:58:25,515 As you heard, extending 2649 01:58:27,153 --> 01:58:27,721 the contract does come with 2650 01:58:27,721 --> 01:58:28,421 some price certainty. 2651 01:58:28,421 --> 01:58:28,955 It comes with some operational 2652 01:58:28,955 --> 01:58:30,955 continuity as well. 2653 01:58:31,825 --> 01:58:32,425 But we believe it is also 2654 01:58:32,425 --> 01:58:33,126 important to ensure that 2655 01:58:33,126 --> 01:58:36,126 contract terms and amounts are 2656 01:58:36,363 --> 01:58:36,963 also competitive. 2657 01:58:36,963 --> 01:58:37,664 One of the criteria that 2658 01:58:37,664 --> 01:58:38,298 transportation used to justify 2659 01:58:38,298 --> 01:58:40,698 extending the sole source 2660 01:58:41,834 --> 01:58:42,435 agreement is that there is 2661 01:58:42,435 --> 01:58:42,969 limited competition for 2662 01:58:42,969 --> 01:58:43,669 the service and that 2663 01:58:43,669 --> 01:58:46,669 the department made an attempt 2664 01:58:47,730 --> 01:58:47,607 to find a second or multiple 2665 01:58:47,607 --> 01:58:48,408 sources to no avail. 2666 01:58:48,408 --> 01:58:51,408 However, we were not provided 2667 01:58:52,111 --> 01:58:52,779 with any additional backup on 2668 01:58:52,779 --> 01:58:53,447 this attempt and if it was 2669 01:58:53,447 --> 01:58:56,447 conducted it doesn't seem to 2670 01:58:56,616 --> 01:58:57,317 have been done through official 2671 01:58:57,317 --> 01:58:57,985 procurement channels such as a 2672 01:58:57,985 --> 01:58:58,251 request for information or a 2673 01:58:58,251 --> 01:59:00,251 fee. 2674 01:59:01,321 --> 01:59:02,220 And that type of a process 2675 01:59:02,220 --> 01:59:02,689 could allow the city to see if 2676 01:59:02,689 --> 01:59:05,425 there are other vendors that 2677 01:59:05,425 --> 01:59:05,926 exist that could meet 2678 01:59:05,926 --> 01:59:06,693 the city's needs. 2679 01:59:06,693 --> 01:59:07,461 All of this puts this council 2680 01:59:07,461 --> 01:59:10,461 in a pretty difficult position 2681 01:59:10,797 --> 01:59:11,430 today because not approving 2682 01:59:11,430 --> 01:59:11,865 extension could have real 2683 01:59:11,865 --> 01:59:13,865 consequences. 2684 01:59:15,302 --> 01:59:15,969 And this contract currently 2685 01:59:15,969 --> 01:59:16,703 only runs through SEPTEMBER. 2686 01:59:16,703 --> 01:59:20,303 But the system that it provides 2687 01:59:20,641 --> 01:59:21,341 maintains the city's pavement 2688 01:59:21,341 --> 01:59:21,975 management data and that data 2689 01:59:21,975 --> 01:59:22,275 is necessary for core city 2690 01:59:22,275 --> 01:59:24,275 work. 2691 01:59:25,711 --> 01:59:26,480 At the same time we have also 2692 01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:29,616 not had enough time to do a 2693 01:59:29,616 --> 01:59:30,384 full review of this item and we 2694 01:59:30,384 --> 01:59:31,510 have not seen that all 2695 01:59:31,510 --> 01:59:31,685 the city's procedures for a 2696 01:59:31,685 --> 01:59:34,850 sole source contracts were 2697 01:59:35,255 --> 01:59:35,856 fully followed which leaders 2698 01:59:35,856 --> 01:59:36,223 will see before for this 2699 01:59:36,223 --> 01:59:38,223 afternoon. 2700 01:59:40,227 --> 01:59:40,961 We do recommend that if council 2701 01:59:40,961 --> 01:59:41,528 moves to approve this extension 2702 01:59:41,528 --> 01:59:43,928 that you also request 2703 01:59:44,765 --> 01:59:45,431 the transportation Department 2704 01:59:45,431 --> 01:59:46,133 to work with purchasing and 2705 01:59:46,133 --> 01:59:49,133 contracting to conduct an rfp 2706 01:59:49,269 --> 01:59:49,903 process for other potential 2707 01:59:49,903 --> 01:59:50,537 pavement asset management 2708 01:59:50,537 --> 01:59:53,537 software and that you also 2709 01:59:53,741 --> 01:59:54,441 consider approving an extension 2710 01:59:54,441 --> 01:59:55,142 for only enough time as is 2711 01:59:55,142 --> 01:59:57,542 necessary to conduct and 2712 01:59:59,111 --> 01:59:59,880 evaluate that rfi. 2713 01:59:59,880 --> 02:00:02,880 This could potentially be two 2714 02:00:03,250 --> 02:00:03,950 years but certainly less than 2715 02:00:03,950 --> 02:00:04,585 the five year extension that's 2716 02:00:04,585 --> 02:00:05,252 currently being requested. 2717 02:00:05,252 --> 02:00:07,652 That concludes my comments. 2718 02:00:08,154 --> 02:00:08,922 I am available for questions 2719 02:00:08,922 --> 02:00:09,356 and at least for the next 15 2720 02:00:09,356 --> 02:00:10,230 minutes or so. 2721 02:00:10,230 --> 02:00:10,791 Jordan Moore is also on 2722 02:00:10,791 --> 02:00:11,458 the line from our office for 2723 02:00:11,458 --> 02:00:13,858 more specific follow up 2724 02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:16,497 questions. 2725 02:00:16,497 --> 02:00:17,164 All right. 2726 02:00:17,164 --> 02:00:17,898 Thank you Charles for that. 2727 02:00:17,898 --> 02:00:20,734 With that Clark, please proceed 2728 02:00:20,734 --> 02:00:21,234 with public comment. 2729 02:00:21,234 --> 02:00:21,902 >> Thank you. 2730 02:00:21,902 --> 02:00:22,602 Council PRESIDENT Maximilian 2731 02:00:22,602 --> 02:00:24,772 Schmidt If you can please come 2732 02:00:24,772 --> 02:00:25,372 forward. 2733 02:00:25,372 --> 02:00:26,106 You'll have two minutes. 2734 02:00:26,106 --> 02:00:28,506 After that it's allegedly 2735 02:00:29,409 --> 02:00:31,409 Audrey on. 2736 02:00:34,215 --> 02:00:35,149 Hi. 2737 02:00:35,149 --> 02:00:35,816 >> I want to talk specifically 2738 02:00:35,816 --> 02:00:38,216 about the pavement downtown. 2739 02:00:39,860 --> 02:00:42,860 What is for the extra 600,000 2740 02:00:43,691 --> 02:00:44,258 dollars we're doing to upgrade 2741 02:00:44,258 --> 02:00:45,225 the pavement software? 2742 02:00:45,225 --> 02:00:48,929 I guess this new software has a 2743 02:00:48,929 --> 02:00:49,797 public website streets sd.Gov 2744 02:00:49,797 --> 02:00:53,397 where you can go and see 2745 02:00:53,466 --> 02:00:54,168 the condition of the pavement. 2746 02:00:54,168 --> 02:00:56,537 I guess that's one of 2747 02:00:56,537 --> 02:00:56,971 the things that is included in 2748 02:00:56,971 --> 02:00:58,971 the $600,000. 2749 02:01:00,808 --> 02:01:01,675 What if we took that $600,000 2750 02:01:01,675 --> 02:01:04,675 and downtown we pressure washed 2751 02:01:05,946 --> 02:01:06,380 the pavement with twice 2752 02:01:06,380 --> 02:01:07,148 the frequency? 2753 02:01:07,148 --> 02:01:11,180 I actually don't know if it if 2754 02:01:11,180 --> 02:01:11,485 the pavement downtown is 2755 02:01:11,485 --> 02:01:12,186 pressure washed. 2756 02:01:12,186 --> 02:01:15,786 I mean like a high pressure 2757 02:01:16,257 --> 02:01:16,924 washer with powerful water to 2758 02:01:16,924 --> 02:01:20,524 clean because of the lack of 2759 02:01:21,950 --> 02:01:21,796 rain and sd powerful water to 2760 02:01:21,796 --> 02:01:24,796 clean off the sidewalks which 2761 02:01:26,232 --> 02:01:26,934 are downtown as we know could 2762 02:01:26,934 --> 02:01:29,934 be pressure washed with twice 2763 02:01:30,905 --> 02:01:33,305 the frequency for $600,000 And 2764 02:01:35,444 --> 02:01:36,110 I don't want to say it's 2765 02:01:36,110 --> 02:01:36,811 shameful but hundreds of 2766 02:01:36,811 --> 02:01:39,811 million dollars for the power 2767 02:01:40,681 --> 02:01:41,382 lines underground on and 2768 02:01:41,382 --> 02:01:44,382 talking about the pavement is 2769 02:01:45,619 --> 02:01:46,287 actually very important to me. 2770 02:01:46,287 --> 02:01:46,921 I think it's what makes 2771 02:01:46,921 --> 02:01:49,924 the city the city I think 2772 02:01:49,924 --> 02:01:50,625 cleans the sidewalks is one of 2773 02:01:50,625 --> 02:01:53,625 the most important things And 2774 02:01:54,929 --> 02:01:55,595 we need to pressure wash 2775 02:01:55,595 --> 02:01:57,995 the pavement more downtown. 2776 02:01:59,667 --> 02:02:00,468 It needs to be cleaned more in 2777 02:02:00,468 --> 02:02:04,380 pressure, washed more on And I 2778 02:02:04,380 --> 02:02:04,671 propose instead of upgrading 2779 02:02:04,671 --> 02:02:05,373 the software on pressure, 2780 02:02:05,373 --> 02:02:08,373 washing the pavement more and 2781 02:02:09,177 --> 02:02:09,910 paying for water. 2782 02:02:09,910 --> 02:02:10,478 I truly believe that downtown 2783 02:02:10,478 --> 02:02:12,878 the pavement could get 2784 02:02:14,348 --> 02:02:14,982 pressurized more and there's a 2785 02:02:14,982 --> 02:02:16,982 misallocation of resources 2786 02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:19,320 regarding the actual pavement 2787 02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:20,540 on. 2788 02:02:20,540 --> 02:02:23,654 To be frank the pavement near 2789 02:02:24,358 --> 02:02:25,126 City College

02:03:13,775 --> 02:03:14,476 far as because of its sole 2820 02:03:14,476 --> 02:03:18,760 source I mean in San Francisco 2821 02:03:18,912 --> 02:03:19,513 with open gov there were 2822 02:03:19,513 --> 02:03:19,881 donations being made to 2823 02:03:19,881 --> 02:03:21,881 the mayor. 2824 02:03:23,651 --> 02:03:24,319 The mayor's wife was making 2825 02:03:24,319 --> 02:03:26,719 investments in this company. 2826 02:03:28,489 --> 02:03:29,224 So I would kind of beg to ask 2827 02:03:29,224 --> 02:03:29,657 the question like what's what's 2828 02:03:29,657 --> 02:03:31,657 going on here? 2829 02:03:33,161 --> 02:03:33,828 Why do you guys constantly put 2830 02:03:33,828 --> 02:03:34,529 yourself up against the wall 2831 02:03:34,529 --> 02:03:37,529 to, you know, approve these 2832 02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:39,667 contracts? 2833 02:03:39,667 --> 02:03:40,401 I mean it's like why I mean was 2834 02:03:40,401 --> 02:03:44,100 there as you know, Charles was 2835 02:03:44,380 --> 02:03:44,706 saying was there due diligence, 2836 02:03:44,706 --> 02:03:45,373 the due process done to make 2837 02:03:45,373 --> 02:03:48,373 sure that there aren't other 2838 02:03:49,244 --> 02:03:49,944 companies So why are we picking 2839 02:03:49,944 --> 02:03:50,612 this one and sticking with it? 2840 02:03:50,612 --> 02:03:53,612 I just it's very interesting 2841 02:03:54,449 --> 02:03:55,417 the way you guys do business 2842 02:03:55,417 --> 02:04:00,121 And then as far as all of these 2843 02:04:00,121 --> 02:04:00,855 companies go and I and you know 2844 02:04:00,855 --> 02:04:01,589 all the data I continue to tell 2845 02:04:01,589 --> 02:04:04,359 you guys we need to be 2846 02:04:04,359 --> 02:04:05,930 concerned about these 2847 02:04:05,930 --> 02:04:05,827 monopolies these companies have 2848 02:04:05,827 --> 02:04:08,827 on government information And I 2849 02:04:10,365 --> 02:04:11,660 think we should be concerned 2850 02:04:11,660 --> 02:04:11,733 about all of our data because 2851 02:04:11,733 --> 02:04:14,733 this data has been collected 2852 02:04:15,770 --> 02:04:16,371 for years now and it's 2853 02:04:16,371 --> 02:04:17,710 something that is being 2854 02:04:17,710 --> 02:04:19,471 weaponized against the people 2855 02:04:21,142 --> 02:04:21,810 and it can be weaponized 2856 02:04:21,810 --> 02:04:22,110 against this municipality as 2857 02:04:22,110 --> 02:04:22,844 well. 2858 02:04:22,844 --> 02:04:25,844 And that's what's so terrifying 2859 02:04:26,248 --> 02:04:26,714 is that, you know, it gets into 2860 02:04:26,714 --> 02:04:27,415 the wrong hands. 2861 02:04:27,415 --> 02:04:28,149 And when you look at places 2862 02:04:28,149 --> 02:04:31,149 like China where information is 2863 02:04:32,253 --> 02:04:32,888 being used to keep people from 2864 02:04:32,888 --> 02:04:33,522 living life like even just 2865 02:04:33,522 --> 02:04:37,122 going to get gas going to 2866 02:04:37,792 --> 02:04:38,493 the doctor, going wherever, I 2867 02:04:38,493 --> 02:04:39,193 think we need to be concerned 2868 02:04:39,193 --> 02:04:42,193 about where our information is 2869 02:04:42,931 --> 02:04:43,532 going and not just be freely 2870 02:04:43,532 --> 02:04:44,231 giving it out like this 2871 02:04:44,231 --> 02:04:46,631 ignorantly believing that it's 2872 02:04:48,670 --> 02:04:48,937 going to be protected in some 2873 02:04:48,937 --> 02:04:49,671 way. 2874 02:04:49,671 --> 02:04:50,372 And so when the government gets 2875 02:04:50,372 --> 02:04:53,972 brought to its knees I'll have 2876 02:04:54,275 --> 02:04:54,875 to tell you guys I told you so 2877 02:04:54,875 --> 02:04:55,577 because you're ignoring 2878 02:04:55,577 --> 02:04:58,577 the fact that this information 2879 02:04:59,614 --> 02:05:00,480 is going into hands that it 2880 02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:00,715 shouldn't be. 2881 02:05:00,715 --> 02:05:03,715 >> Paula Kruger if you can 2882 02:05:04,586 --> 02:05:05,353 please come up. 2883 02:05:05,353 --> 02:05:08,353 >> Uh, thank you very much. 2884 02:05:10,492 --> 02:05:15,292 I just want to know I put a 2885 02:05:15,864 --> 02:05:16,732 neutral on my slip which I 2886 02:05:16,732 --> 02:05:17,432 often do and I know that was a 2887 02:05:17,432 --> 02:05:20,432 suggestion from someone and I 2888 02:05:20,736 --> 02:05:21,503 think it's an interesting one 2889 02:05:21,503 --> 02:05:25,103 but I'm here only to thank 2890 02:05:26,308 --> 02:05:26,975 Charles for his comments and 2891 02:05:26,975 --> 02:05:27,242 the work that his department 2892 02:05:27,242 --> 02:05:27,910 did. 2893 02:05:27,910 --> 02:05:28,644 I don't have any particular 2894 02:05:28,644 --> 02:05:32,244 knowledge of this issue but I 2895 02:05:32,381 --> 02:05:32,948 think that the concerns that 2896 02:05:32,948 --> 02:05:35,348 I've raised are really 2897 02:05:37,552 --> 02:05:38,253 important and really 2898 02:05:38,253 --> 02:05:41,853 significant and that I as a 2899 02:05:42,791 --> 02:05:43,492 taxpayer am really reassured 2900 02:05:43,492 --> 02:05:44,159 that we have an independent 2901 02:05:44,159 --> 02:05:46,559 office and voice reviewing 2902 02:05:48,597 --> 02:05:50,597 these processes. 2903 02:05:53,969 --> 02:05:54,670 If I'm not mistaken, 2904 02:05:54,670 --> 02:05:55,370 the departments that requested 2905 02:05:55,370 --> 02:05:58,370 this contract are overseen by 2906 02:06:00,442 --> 02:06:01,110 the mayor as the city's chief 2907 02:06:01,110 --> 02:06:04,110 executive and I think it's 2908 02:06:05,581 --> 02:06:09,181 really incumbent upon you as a 2909 02:06:11,320 --> 02:06:12,870 council to respond to Charles's 2910 02:06:12,870 --> 02:06:12,788 concerns and to get answers to 2911 02:06:12,788 --> 02:06:15,788 the questions that he raised. 2912 02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:17,793 That's all And thank you again, 2913 02:06:17,793 --> 02:06:18,461 Charles, in your office for 2914 02:06:18,461 -->

02:06:27,133 on the trash tax estimate. 2918 02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:28,737 And so I think that the office 2919 02:06:28,737 --> 02:06:29,471 has proved itself invaluable. 2920 02:06:29,471 -->

02:14:12,901 inventory But perhaps in my 3164 02:14:13,803 --> 02:14:14,505 limited understanding for why 3165 02:14:14,505 --> 02:14:15,206 Caltrans isn't isn't and 3166 02:14:15,206 --> 02:14:17,606 haven't been the responsible 3167 02:14:20,244 --> 02:14:20,911 party to manage pavement 3168 02:14:20,911 --> 02:14:23,311 sidewalk and tree inventory 3169 02:14:25,583 --> 02:14:26,584 Caltrans worker salaries in 3170 02:14:26,584 --> 02:14:29,584 the us are about 106,000 per 3171 02:14:30,921 --> 02:14:31,623 year well $51 per hour. 3172 02:14:31,623 --> 02:14:32,289 Given these lucrative salaries 3173 02:14:32,289 --> 02:14:35,289 and millions of dollars per 3174 02:14:37,295 --> 02:14:37,895 year, the city's stance on 3175 02:14:37,895 --> 02:14:38,531 litigation stemming from 3176 02:14:38,531 --> 02:14:40,931 streets to management and 3177 02:14:43,267 --> 02:14:44,100 managing pavement, sidewalks 3178 02:14:44,100 --> 02:14:47,100 and tree inventory why Caltrans 3179 02:14:49,807 --> 02:14:50,508 isn't already responsible for 3180 02:14:50,508 --> 02:14:51,175 the sat Additionally reporting 3181 02:14:51,175 --> 02:14:53,575 streets, sidewalks and tree 3182 02:14:54,712 --> 02:14:55,346 inventory should not be a 3183 02:14:55,346 --> 02:14:56,130 reactive complaint driven 3184 02:14:56,130 --> 02:14:59,130 process but a proactive one 3185 02:15:00,885 --> 02:15:01,619 proactively addressing 3186 02:15:01,619 --> 02:15:02,253 infrastructure issues to repair 3187 02:15:02,253 --> 02:15:05,253 is a proven strategy for 3188 02:15:07,158 --> 02:15:07,825 reducing problems and that 3189 02:15:07,825 --> 02:15:10,825 could increase more and more 3190 02:15:13,798 --> 02:15:14,499 costs of reactively addressing 3191 02:15:14,499 --> 02:15:15,198 those problems As was learned 3192 02:15:15,198 --> 02:15:18,198 when those jumping over temple 3193 02:15:19,804 --> 02:15:20,505 styles back east to avoid fees 3194 02:15:20,505 --> 02:15:21,172 or removing graffiti within 24 3195 02:15:21,172 --> 02:15:23,572 hours that prevents further 3196 02:15:25,710 --> 02:15:26,760 vandalism in the in in 3197 02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:26,677 the city. 3198 02:15:26,677 --> 02:15:27,312 The same holds true for 3199 02:15:27,312 --> 02:15:30,312 the city to ensure streets 3200 02:15:31,349 --> 02:15:32,160 sidewalks and public spaces are 3201 02:15:32,160 --> 02:15:32,650 clean and free of litter and 3202 02:15:32,650 --> 02:15:35,500 graffiti because when you 3203 02:15:37,322 --> 02:15:37,955 already have litter on 3204 02:15:37,955 --> 02:15:38,690 the streets people have a 3205 02:15:38,690 --> 02:15:42,290 tendency to just throw more out 3206 02:15:43,695 --> 02:15:44,362 there And I share Paul Kruger's 3207 02:15:44,362 --> 02:15:44,963 appreciation of the far more 3208 02:15:44,963 --> 02:15:46,963 likely less politically 3209 02:15:50,168 --> 02:15:50,702 influenced office of 3210 02:15:50,702 --> 02:15:51,369 Independent Budgets. 3211 02:15:51,369 --> 02:15:51,870 >> So thank you for his 3212 02:15:51,870 --> 02:15:52,604 comments as well. 3213 02:15:52,604 --> 02:15:55,774 Thank you for letting me speak. 3214 02:15:55,774 --> 02:15:56,274 Thank you, Judy Strang If you 3215 02:15:56,274 --> 02:15:56,775 can please unmute. 3216 02:15:56,775 --> 02:15:58,775 >> Good afternoon. 3217 02:16:01,846 --> 02:16:02,714 San Diego City Council. 3218 02:16:02,714 --> 02:16:03,514 As I was taking a look at 3219 02:16:03,514 --> 02:16:07,114 the PowerPoint I didn't at that 3220 02:16:08,153 --> 02:16:08,853 point have the aba report but 3221 02:16:08,853 --> 02:16:12,453 there seems to be some things 3222 02:16:14,125 --> 02:16:15,930 missing that the eBay showed 3223 02:16:15,930 --> 02:16:18,930 Shine a spotlight on is 3224 02:16:18,697 --> 02:16:19,431 the lack of data for the whole 3225 02:16:19,431 --> 02:16:19,864 five year period that's sitting 3226 02:16:19,864 --> 02:16:20,498 in SEPTEMBER. 3227 02:16:20,498 --> 02:16:24,980 I don't think we could go 3228 02:16:24,569 --> 02:16:25,303 forward with the vote until we 3229 02:16:25,303 --> 02:16:28,303 have more information And thing 3230 02:16:30,909 --> 02:16:31,776 that occurred to me is a model 3231 02:16:31,776 --> 02:16:32,577 that we might take a look at is 3232 02:16:32,577 --> 02:16:36,177 the counties as they call up 3233 02:16:36,348 --> 02:16:37,150 the traffic Advisory Committee 3234 02:16:37,150 --> 02:16:37,682 that's made up of community 3235 02:16:37,682 --> 02:16:39,682 volunteers each representing 3236 02:16:42,254 --> 02:16:42,954 some part of the county's five 3237 02:16:42,954 --> 02:16:43,622 super busy soil districts and 3238 02:16:43,622 --> 02:16:46,220 they collect the information 3239 02:16:48,559 --> 02:16:49,270 there at those super super 3240 02:16:49,270 --> 02:16:49,760 district level. 3241 02:16:49,760 --> 02:16:53,960 We could do the same thing here 3242 02:16:55,100 --> 02:16:55,733 in our city and collected as I 3243 02:16:55,733 --> 02:16:56,468 think Spencer suggested at 3244 02:16:56,468 --> 02:17:00,680 the city council level and make 3245 02:17:00,271 --> 02:17:01,600 quite a thorough list of what 3246 02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:04,600 roads and sidewalks need fixing 3247 02:17:06,144 --> 02:17:06,711 first And wouldn't the citizens 3248 02:17:06,711 --> 02:17:07,512 love that opportunity? 3249 02:17:07,512 --> 02:17:08,246 I can't think of an area where 3250 02:17:08,246 --> 02:17:11,846 we wouldn't care more than what 3251 02:17:12,350 --> 02:17:13,510 our streets and sidewalks look 3252 02:17:13,510 --> 02:17:13,718 like and more that would do 3253 02:17:13,718 --> 02:17:16,718 That could happen to improve 3254 02:17:17,889 --> 02:17:18,490 improve the safety around our 3255 02:17:18,490 --> 02:17:19,156 walking in our streets. 3256 02:17:19,156 --> 02:17:22,756 So perhaps we should take a 3257 02:17:23,695 --> 02:17:24,363 better look at this as they 3258 02:17:24,363 --> 02:17:25,630 call it the Traffic Advisory 3259 02:17:25,630 --> 02:17:27,463 Commission committee that they 3260 02:17:29,668 --> 02:17:30,602 have at the county level and 3261 02:17:30,602 --> 02:17:31,303 see how it works and see if it 3262 02:17:31,303 --> 02:17:32,400 has applicability to San Diego 3263 02:17:32,400 --> 02:17:35,604 City Council to do the work 3264 02:17:35,674 --> 02:17:36,408 ourselves or at least give our 3265 02:17:36,408 --> 02:17:40,800 citizens a chance to share what 3266 02:17:41,913 --> 02:17:42,347 they know because we will track 3267 02:17:42,347 --> 02:17:43,148 these streets. 3268 02:17:43,148 --> 02:17:43,749 Trust me we could give you a 3269 02:17:43,749 --> 02:17:44,249 list in each of our city 3270 02:17:44,249 --> 02:17:44,782 council district. 3271 02:17:44,782 --> 02:17:47,182 Thank you for that. 3272 02:17:47,219 --> 02:17:47,586 I share my thoughts this 3273 02:17:47,586 --> 02:17:48,190 afternoon. 3274 02:17:48,190 --> 02:17:48,654 >> Thank you. 3275 02:17:48,654 --> 02:17:49,221 And that concludes with a 3276 02:17:49,221 --> 02:17:49,588 comment on this item. 3277 02:17:49,588 --> 02:17:51,588 All right. 3278 02:17:53,725 --> 02:17:54,593 Thank you. 3279 02:17:54,593 --> 02:17:55,294 City Clerk This is an action 3280 02:17:55,294 --> 02:17:58,294 item that requires six votes. 3281 02:17:59,331 --> 02:18:00,100 I'm going to kick it off. 3282 02:18:00,100 --> 02:18:00,532 Thank you for the work to bring 3283 02:18:00,532 --> 02:18:02,532 this forward. 3284 02:18:05,203 --> 02:18:05,804 Clearly the department is very 3285 02:18:05,804 --> 02:18:08,804 happy with open gov My 3286 02:18:11,176 --> 02:18:11,943 experience using the online gif 3287 02:18:11,943 --> 02:18:12,311 maps have shown that it works 3288 02:18:12,311 --> 02:18:14,311 very well. 3289 02:18:17,416 --> 02:18:18,217 I think it's a very powerful 3290 02:18:18,217 --> 02:18:21,817 tool that public has access to 3291 02:18:23,121 --> 02:18:23,622 and I don't know if I'm 3292 02:18:23,622 --> 02:18:24,189 the biggest fan of 3293 02:18:24,189 --> 02:18:24,923 the operation side and 3294 02:18:24,923 --> 02:18:27,960 the challenges that you face to 3295 02:18:27,960 --> 02:18:28,627 do your work every day but I'm 3296 02:18:28,627 --> 02:18:29,261 certainly one of the biggest 3297 02:18:29,261 --> 02:18:29,895 fans on the council here. 3298 02:18:29,895 --> 02:18:32,295 Nevertheless the words of 3299 02:18:33,899 --> 02:18:34,566 the aba have resonated with me 3300 02:18:34,566 --> 02:18:38,766 given the fact that it was a 3301 02:18:39,471 --> 02:18:40,272 sole source before and it's 3302 02:18:40,272 --> 02:18:40,906 been proposed for a five year 3303 02:18:40,906 --> 02:18:43,306 sole source going forward. 3304 02:18:45,844 --> 02:18:49,444 So the question is not if 3305 02:18:51,784 --> 02:18:52,551 the five years but what lower 3306 02:18:52,551 --> 02:18:53,252 amount can we actually do an 3307 02:18:53,252 --> 02:18:56,252 opportunity as the as Charles 3308 02:18:58,156 --> 02:18:58,891 said to do an rfp to see 3309 02:18:58,891 --> 02:18:59,491 whether there are other vendors 3310 02:18:59,491 --> 02:19:02,491 out there that could do 3311 02:19:03,862 --> 02:19:04,663 the work, could do the work at 3312 02:19:04,663 --> 02:19:04,996 a better price to give a better 3313 02:19:04,996 --> 02:19:05,731 service. 3314 02:19:05,731 --> 02:19:08,731 I could talk about migration 3315 02:19:09,501 --> 02:19:13,101 from the open gov database to 3316 02:19:15,641 --> 02:19:16,275 their software going forward So 3317 02:19:16,275 --> 02:19:19,275 the question for staff is 3318 02:19:20,779 --> 02:19:21,447 suggested by the aba but I'm 3319 02:19:21,447 --> 02:19:21,980 not totally locked in to 3320 02:19:21,980 --> 02:19:23,980 instead of extending 3321 02:19:25,351 --> 02:19:26,510 the contract for five years to 3322 02:19:26,510 --> 02:19:26,718 extend it for two years that 3323 02:19:26,718 --> 02:19:30,318 would give you two years and 3324 02:19:31,423 --> 02:19:32,910 about three months to do an rfi 3325 02:19:32,910 --> 02:19:32,825 to identify whether another 3326 02:19:32,825 --> 02:19:33,492 vendor would be a better choice 3327 02:19:33,492 --> 02:19:36,796 or maybe open gap is still 3328 02:19:36,796 --> 02:19:38,796 the better choice. 3329 02:19:42,535 --> 02:19:44,935 Things like Question Council 3330 02:19:48,640 --> 02:19:49,342 member So it does take a long 3331 02:19:49,342 --> 02:19:50,420 time to migrate a lot of 3332 02:19:50,420 --> 02:19:53,642 the information If we were to 3333 02:19:54,213 --> 02:19:54,914 move to a different platform 3334 02:19:54,914 --> 02:19:58,514 you know the work that's been 3335 02:20:01,186 --> 02:20:01,921 put into open governance, 3336 02:20:01,921 --> 02:20:02,488 the payment management software 3337 02:20:02,488 --> 02:20:03,550 that we use it's other 3338 02:20:03,550 --> 02:20:05,550 engineering work that 3339 02:20:06,959 --> 02:20:07,426 represents years that we've 3340 02:20:07,426 --> 02:20:08,127 invested in it. 3341 02:20:08,127 --> 02:20:11,127 We're still working with open 3342 02:20:12,365 --> 02:20:13,320 guard to improve some of those 3343 02:20:13,320 --> 02:20:13,666 functionality to streamline 3344 02:20:13,666 --> 02:20:16,660 those workflows and that's 3345 02:20:18,204 --> 02:20:18,905 still an ongoing thing that 3346 02:20:18,905 --> 02:20:19,171 we're working with the vendor 3347 02:20:19,171 --> 02:20:19,872 on. 3348 02:20:19,872 --> 02:20:23,472 It doesn't make sense to to 3349 02:20:24,430 --> 02:20:24,644 abandon that work and start 3350 02:20:24,644 --> 02:20:25,244 over with the different 3351 02:20:25,244 --> 02:20:25,945 platforms because of all 3352 02:20:25,945 --> 02:20:26,245 the years that we've invested 3353 02:20:26,245 --> 02:20:28,245 to it. 3354 02:20:29,915 --> 02:20:30,783 But but certainly there the two 3355 02:20:30,783 --> 02:20:34,383 years would be sufficient to do 3356 02:20:35,955 --> 02:20:36,656 the RFIs check to see if 3357 02:20:36,656 --> 02:20:37,323 there's other vendors that can 3358 02:20:37,323 --> 02:20:38,240 perform this work And again 3359 02:20:38,240 --> 02:20:41,624 the majority of the work would 3360 02:20:42,940 --> 02:20:42,795 be making sure that 3361 02:20:42,795 --> 02:20:46,395 the migration from open go to 3362 02:20:47,700 --> 02:20:48,467 the new platform would work 3363 02:20:48,467 --> 02:20:49,102 with all of our guys and and 3364 02:20:49,102 --> 02:20:51,502 all the inventory history 3365 02:20:53,973 --> 02:20:54,439 maintenance history and 3366 02:20:54,439 --> 02:20:55,141 redeveloping all 3367 02:20:55,141 --> 02:20:55,841 the deterioration curves that 3368 02:20:55,841 --> 02:20:58,841 comes with migrating all that 3369 02:21:00,460 --> 02:21:00,813 information to a new platform. 3370 02:21:00,813 --> 02:21:01,480 Okay I know that that's extra 3371 02:21:01,480 --> 02:21:02,348 work but I think it might be 3372 02:21:02,348 --> 02:21:05,284 well worth it Or to validate 3373 02:21:05,284 --> 02:21:05,952 that open got really is 3374 02:21:05,952 --> 02:21:06,619 the best you know preferred 3375 02:21:06,619 --> 02:21:09,619 vendor for the services that 3376 02:21:11,290 --> 02:21:11,991 they execute So I'm going to 3377 02:21:11,991 --> 02:21:14,391 move the staff recommendation 3378 02:21:16,429 --> 02:21:20,290 but to extend only for two 3379 02:21:21,501 --> 02:21:22,235 years for a total of seven 3380 02:21:22,235 --> 02:21:22,969 years and with the appropriate 3381 02:21:22,969 --> 02:21:25,969 adjustment in the dollar amount 3382 02:21:27,907 --> 02:21:28,575 but move the staff 3383 02:21:28,575 --> 02:21:30,975 recommendation that only to 3384 02:21:32,578 --> 02:21:33,379 extend it for an additional two 3385 02:21:33,379 --> 02:21:33,746 years Do I need to do anything 3386 02:21:33,746 --> 02:21:35,746 else too? 3387 02:21:37,716 --> 02:21:38,418 >> There's a little more 3388 02:21:38,418 --> 02:21:40,818 information in the dollar 3389 02:21:43,957 --> 02:21:46,957 amounts Yeah we have to 3390 02:21:50,463 --> 02:21:50,964 recalculate the dollar amount 3391 02:21:50,964 --> 02:21:52,964 to be considered. 3392 02:21:56,336 --> 02:21:57,300 >> I would ask Deputy City 3393 02:21:57,300 --> 02:21:57,636 Attorney Bryan Garrity who's 3394 02:21:57,636 --> 02:21:58,304 been handling this matter 3395 02:21:58,304 --> 02:22:00,704 whether anything else would 3396 02:22:01,641 --> 02:22:01,941 need to be added to the motion 3397 02:22:01,941 --> 02:22:02,641 . 3398 02:22:02,641 --> 02:22:05,641 Certainly if this is approved 3399 02:22:08,281 --> 02:22:08,748 our office will revise 3400 02:22:08,748 --> 02:22:09,749 the resolution. 3401 02:22:09,749 --> 02:22:13,949 I believe it is You know, it's 3402 02:22:14,654 --> 02:22:15,320 an ordinance We will we will 3403 02:22:15,320 --> 02:22:15,922 revise the ordinance in line 3404 02:22:15,922 --> 02:22:16,656 with council's comments. 3405 02:22:16,656 --> 02:22:20,600 What I would ask MR. Garrity if 3406 02:22:20,600 --> 02:22:20,593 anything else is needed. 3407 02:22:20,593 --> 02:22:21,260 >> Good afternoon. 3408 02:22:21,260 --> 02:22:23,660 Council Deputy City Attorney 3409 02:22:26,320 --> 02:22:26,632 Ryan Garrity Yes. 3410 02:22:26,632 --> 02:22:27,334 Council Member Currently 3411 02:22:27,334 --> 02:22:30,334 the backup materials include a 3412 02:22:31,237 --> 02:22:31,905 signed amendment from open gov 3413 02:22:31,905 --> 02:22:32,472 under the current terms that 3414 02:22:32,472 --> 02:22:34,872 were based on staff's 3415 02:22:37,344 --> 02:22:38,770 recommendation in order to 3416 02:22:38,770 --> 02:22:38,712 effectuate the two year term we 3417 02:22:38,712 --> 02:22:39,446 would have to revise that 3418 02:22:39,446 --> 02:22:42,849 amendment and have it agreed to 3419 02:22:42,849 --> 02:22:43,515 by open gov. 3420 02:22:43,515 --> 02:22:44,184 I don't believe they've had 3421 02:22:44,184 --> 02:22:47,184 the benefit of this current 3422 02:22:48,154 --> 02:22:48,855 discussion so I don't know if I 3423 02:22:48,855 --> 02:22:49,556 don't know at this time if 3424 02:22:49,556 --> 02:22:52,556 those terms are acceptable to 3425 02:22:53,526 --> 02:22:54,227 open go but they would have to 3426 02:22:54,227 --> 02:22:54,828 accept them in order to revise 3427 02:22:54,828 --> 02:22:57,228 the amendment to then 3428 02:23:00,300 --> 02:23:00,967 incorporate the two year term 3429 02:23:00,967 --> 02:23:01,668 rather than a five year term 3430 02:23:01,668 --> 02:23:05,268 And that wouldn't be a problem 3431 02:23:05,705 --> 02:23:06,306 in meeting the SEPTEMBER or 3432 02:23:06,306 --> 02:23:07,390 SEPTEMBER expiration of 3433 02:23:07,390 --> 02:23:10,390 the current five year contract. 3434 02:23:12,450 --> 02:23:12,712 We could revise the ordinance 3435 02:23:12,712 --> 02:23:13,381 based on the direction today 3436 02:23:13,381 --> 02:23:16,981 and seek to have the updated 3437 02:23:18,117 --> 02:23:18,885 amendment document from open 3438 02:23:18,885 --> 02:23:19,419 gov as soon as possible to meet 3439 02:23:19,419 --> 02:23:19,986 council's authority. 3440 02:23:19,986 --> 02:23:21,986 Essentially council is 3441 02:23:24,240 --> 02:23:24,725 authorizing the Mayor to sign 3442 02:23:24,725 --> 02:23:28,325 an amendment for a two year 3443 02:23:29,329 --> 02:23:29,996 extension to the contract and 3444 02:23:29,996 --> 02:23:30,630 based on the dollar amounts 3445 02:23:30,630 --> 02:23:31,164 that staff have listed in 3446 02:23:31,164 --> 02:23:33,564 the staff report for 3447 02:23:34,568 --> 02:23:34,870 the corresponding fiscal years 3448 02:23:34,870 --> 02:23:35,268 . 3449 02:23:35,268 --> 02:23:35,902 >> Okay. 3450 02:23:35,902 --> 02:23:36,602 i appreciate that and I 3451 02:23:36,602 --> 02:23:40,202 probably don't need to say it 3452 02:23:41,308 --> 02:23:41,908 that I'm going to this is 3453 02:23:41,908 --> 02:23:42,609 obviously the difficult 3454 02:23:42,609 --> 02:23:45,609 position but council in coming 3455 02:23:45,712 --> 02:23:46,580 in at the last minute with a 3456 02:23:46,580 --> 02:23:47,314 fine fine and it's like I don't 3457 02:23:47,314 --> 02:23:51,351 know what I'm doing here And so 3458 02:23:51,351 --> 02:23:52,219 I don't know if my colleagues 3459 02:23:52,219 --> 02:23:52,919 will agree to that to you but 3460 02:23:52,919 --> 02:23:56,519 that's the motion I'm going to 3461 02:23:57,324 --> 02:23:58,580 put on the table for now And 3462 02:23:58,580 --> 02:23:58,458 we'll go next to Council member 3463 02:23:58,458 --> 02:24:00,458 Eagle River. 3464 02:24:02,496 --> 02:24:04,965 >> I think you guys PRESIDENT 3465 02:24:04,965 --> 02:24:07,965 Appreciate the flag coming over 3466 02:24:11,171 --> 02:24:11,905 and the comments there can you 3467 02:24:11,905 --> 02:24:12,639 I think I think council present 3468 02:24:12,639 --> 02:24:16,610 got a little bit of the answer 3469 02:24:16,610 --> 02:24:19,610 here but my understanding that 3470 02:24:21,480 --> 02:24:23,448 this process wasn't started 3471 02:24:26,253 --> 02:24:26,954 earlier because the belief in 3472 02:24:26,954 --> 02:24:29,954 that switching to a different 3473 02:24:30,524 --> 02:24:34,124 provider would just be too too 3474 02:24:35,529 --> 02:24:36,196 burdensome for the city. 3475 02:24:36,196 --> 02:24:36,562 Well, thank you for your 3476 02:24:36,562 --> 02:24:37,264 question. 3477 02:24:37,264 --> 02:24:37,964 So the department's goal is to 3478 02:24:37,964 --> 02:24:40,964 start the process usually for 3479 02:24:41,568 --> 02:24:42,168 all contracts that expire 9 to 3480 02:24:42,168 --> 02:24:42,636 12 months prior to their 3481 02:24:42,636 --> 02:24:44,636 expiration date. 3482 02:24:46,506 --> 02:24:47,207 So in this case we started 3483 02:24:47,207 --> 02:24:50,807 the process in JANUARY and we 3484 02:24:51,345 --> 02:24:52,460 we worked extensively with 3485 02:24:52,460 --> 02:24:52,646 purchasing and contracting and 3486 02:24:52,646 --> 02:24:55,460 the vendor to determine 3487 02:24:57,551 --> 02:24:58,285 the best course of action and 3488 02:24:58,285 --> 02:24:58,953 it was the ticket And I'm going 3489 02:24:58,953 --> 02:24:59,653 to jump right there because 3490 02:24:59,653 --> 02:25:01,788 this is where I'm starting to 3491 02:25:01,788 --> 02:25:02,589 get confused because the vendor 3492 02:25:02,589 --> 02:25:06,189 piece and there doesn't have to 3493 02:25:06,827 --> 02:25:07,528 be anything wrong But but that 3494 02:25:07,528 --> 02:25:10,528 baked into that answer sounds 3495 02:25:11,765 --> 02:25:12,499 to be it seems to be a 3496 02:25:12,499 --> 02:25:15,499 presumption that we're going to 3497 02:25:21,800 --> 02:25:21,775 use the same vendor. 3498 02:25:21,775 --> 02:25:22,642 Am I missing something there? 3499 02:25:22,642 --> 02:25:26,460 It might have come across this 3500 02:25:26,460 --> 02:25:29,646 way since I summarized all of 3501 02:25:30,180 --> 02:25:30,651 our processes but we determined 3502 02:25:30,651 --> 02:25:31,385 first that it was the best 3503 02:25:31,385 --> 02:25:34,521 course of action to go with a 3504 02:25:34,521 --> 02:25:35,890 sole source agreement amendment 3505 02:25:35,890 --> 02:25:35,789 before reaching out to 3506 02:25:35,789 --> 02:25:39,293 the vendor to discuss it in a 3507 02:25:39,293 --> 02:25:41,293 more detail. 3508 02:25:45,299 --> 02:25:45,999 What factors determined that it 3509 02:25:45,999 --> 02:25:49,599 was the best course of action 3510 02:25:49,602 --> 02:25:50,538 to go with the sole source? 3511 02:25:50,538 --> 02:25:54,738 >> I would have to get back to 3512 02:25:55,442 --> 02:25:56,143 you on the details but in in 3513 02:25:56,143 --> 02:25:56,844 the short it is summarized in 3514 02:25:56,844 --> 02:25:57,411 our sole source memo that was 3515 02:25:57,411 --> 02:25:59,411 approved by purchasing 3516 02:25:59,780 --> 02:26:00,448 contracting and we can if it's 3517 02:26:00,448 --> 02:26:01,148 not attached to this item we 3518 02:26:01,148 --> 02:26:03,548 can certainly provide that 3519 02:26:06,319 --> 02:26:06,987 document just because it looks 3520 02:26:06,987 --> 02:26:09,987 like our interim director of 3521 02:26:11,558 --> 02:26:11,959 transportation would like to 3522 02:26:11,959 --> 02:26:12,492 hop in here. 3523 02:26:12,492 --> 02:26:13,194 >> Good afternoon. 3524 02:26:13,194 --> 02:26:14,928 Larry Chavis, interim director 3525 02:26:14,928 --> 02:26:15,696 for Transportation Department. 3526 02:26:15,696 --> 02:26:16,397 And just to emphasize that this 3527 02:26:16,397 --> 02:26:19,397 has been in collaboration with 3528 02:26:19,634 --> 02:26:20,340 purchasing and contracting. 3529 02:26:20,340 --> 02:26:20,334 Got it. 3530 02:26:20,334 --> 02:26:20,701 Yes. 3531 02:26:20,701 --> 02:26:21,102 Thank you. 3532 02:26:21,102 --> 02:26:22,236 Thank you. 3533 02:26:22,236 --> 02:26:25,836 I think what we're I'm trying 3534 02:26:27,341 --> 02:26:30,341 to what I'm trying to 3535 02:26:36,550 --> 02:26:37,251 understand I guess is what 3536 02:26:37,251 --> 02:26:39,651 keeps the process competitive 3537 02:26:41,956 --> 02:26:42,456 after a vendor has secured a 3538 02:26:42,456 --> 02:26:44,456 contract with us. 3539 02:26:46,661 --> 02:26:49,661 In other words, if we're 3540 02:26:54,302 --> 02:26:55,100 telling the outside world 3541 02:26:55,100 --> 02:26:55,703 the folks who are supposed to 3542 02:26:55,703 --> 02:26:56,403 be competing for business with 3543 02:26:56,403 --> 02:26:59,674 the city that if they can just 3544 02:26:59,674 --> 02:27:00,408 get their foot in the door with 3545 02:27:00,408 --> 02:27:01,509 us that the city's not going to 3546 02:27:01,509 --> 02:27:05,109 be interested in going in a 3547 02:27:06,314 --> 02:27:07,382 different direction. 3548 02:27:07,382 --> 02:27:11,582 Why would they ever work to be 3549 02:27:13,221 --> 02:27:13,920 competitive to make sure that 3550 02:27:13,920 --> 02:27:14,622 we're happy and this isn't had 3551 02:27:14,622 --> 02:27:15,757 has had actually nothing to do 3552 02:27:15,757 --> 02:27:16,457 it open what I'm just I feel 3553 02:27:16,457 --> 02:27:19,457 like I'm seeing real process 3554 02:27:21,429 --> 02:27:22,130 flags and you know it's not 3555 02:27:22,130 --> 02:27:22,797 the first time it's popped up 3556 02:27:22,797 --> 02:27:25,797 but it just everything that 3557 02:27:25,867 --> 02:27:26,600 Charles just mentioned and some 3558 02:27:26,600 --> 02:27:30,200 of the responses to what's been 3559 02:27:30,905 --> 02:27:31,572 raised is making those flags 3560 02:27:31,572 --> 02:27:34,572 fly higher and look brighter 3561 02:27:36,778 --> 02:27:37,612 than ever before. 3562 02:27:37,612 --> 02:27:38,246 >> Thank you for the question. 3563 02:27:38,246 --> 02:27:40,246 Councilmember Julio Rivera 3564 02:27:40,314 --> 02:27:40,982 Claudio Baka, director of 3565 02:27:40,982 --> 02:27:41,649 Purchasing and Contracting. 3566 02:27:41,649 --> 02:27:44,649 So with every procurement we 3567 02:27:44,986 --> 02:27:45,553 typically as the contract is 3568 02:27:45,553 --> 02:27:46,187 about to sunset, each 3569 02:27:46,187 --> 02:27:48,587 department needs to assess 3570 02:27:49,490 --> 02:27:50,191 whether or not they need an 3571 02:27:50,191 --> 02:27:52,591 additional contract to replace 3572 02:27:53,861 --> 02:27:54,561 that. 3573 02:27:54,561 --> 02:27:55,430 When they are doing that 3574 02:27:55,430 --> 02:27:59,330 typically we will put it out to 3575 02:27:59,330 --> 02:27:59,701 bid again for instances with 3576 02:27:59,701 --> 02:28:01,701 software because technology 3577 02:28:03,405 --> 02:28:04,238 changes so quickly. 3578 02:28:04,238 --> 02:28:07,238 There is there is an 3579 02:28:08,510 --> 02:28:09,100 opportunity to go out and see 3580 02:28:09,100 --> 02:28:09,477 what else is in 3581 02:28:09,477 --> 02:28:10,111 the marketplace. 3582 02:28:10,111 --> 02:28:13,470 At minimum we would do a 3583 02:28:13,470 --> 02:28:13,748 request for information. 3584 02:28:13,748 --> 02:28:14,482 The request for information at 3585 02:28:14,482 --> 02:28:18,820 least allows us to see what's 3586 02:28:18,186 --> 02:28:18,887 in the marketplace and given 3587 02:28:18,887 --> 02:28:21,887 the needs that are identified 3588 02:28:23,525 --> 02:28:24,225 by the Department, if there are 3589 02:28:24,225 --> 02:28:27,825 respondents to the rfp then we 3590 02:28:27,896 --> 02:28:28,596 would then issue a request for 3591 02:28:28,596 --> 02:28:29,130 proposals and do a full blown 3592 02:28:29,130 --> 02:28:31,130 procurement process. 3593 02:28:32,734 --> 02:28:33,468 But we should be doing open 3594 02:28:33,468 --> 02:28:36,468 procurement any time a contract 3595 02:28:37,138 --> 02:28:37,605 is due to expire. 3596 02:28:37,605 --> 02:28:39,605 >> I agree. 3597 02:28:46,915 --> 02:28:47,481 So so what happened here? 3598 02:28:47,481 --> 02:28:48,249 >> All right. 3599 02:28:48,249 --> 02:28:51,849 I'll turn it over to you. 3600 02:28:52,119 --> 02:28:54,119 Naomi. 3601 02:28:56,458 --> 02:28:57,225 >> Councilmember Ella Rivera If 3602 02:28:57,225 --> 02:28:57,926 I MAY add a staff shared 3603 02:28:57,926 --> 02:29:00,695 earlier in the presentation it 3604 02:29:00,695 --> 02:29:01,960 a lot of it had to do with 3605 02:29:01,960 --> 02:29:03,960 the timing. 3606 02:29:05,333 --> 02:29:06,000 This council approved 3607 02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:06,735 the follow up to the payment 3608 02:29:06,735 --> 02:29:09,135 condition assessment which it's 3609 02:29:09,938 --> 02:29:10,438 a best market practice to do 3610 02:29:10,438 --> 02:29:11,139 every four years. 3611 02:29:11,139 --> 02:29:14,739 This would be the fourth year 3612 02:29:14,876 --> 02:29:15,577 It was critical to have 3613 02:29:15,577 --> 02:29:16,144 comparative comparable data to 3614 02:29:16,144 --> 02:29:19,144 be able to really see 3615 02:29:20,480 --> 02:29:20,649 the condition of our roads and 3616 02:29:20,649 --> 02:29:21,349 have an apples to apples 3617 02:29:21,349 --> 02:29:23,749 comparison from the assessment 3618 02:29:24,852 --> 02:29:25,554 that was done in 2023 I believe 3619 02:29:25,554 --> 02:29:29,491 to the one that we're we'll be 3620 02:29:29,491 --> 02:29:29,791 taking place this fiscal year 3621 02:29:29,791 --> 02:29:30,758 2027. 3622 02:29:30,758 --> 02:29:31,526 So now we just to make sure I 3623 02:29:31,526 --> 02:29:34,526 understand that part In other 3624 02:29:34,662 --> 02:29:35,263 words, if I'm hearing you 3625 02:29:35,263 --> 02:29:37,263 right, council assigned 3626 02:29:38,833 --> 02:29:39,534 the department work 3627 02:29:39,534 --> 02:29:42,534 the assessment and with that 3628 02:29:44,339 --> 02:29:44,773 assignment came the need for 3629 02:29:44,773 --> 02:29:45,507 the software. 3630 02:29:45,507 --> 02:29:45,907 But do we not need the software 3631 02:29:45,907 --> 02:29:47,907 either way? 3632 02:29:48,777 --> 02:29:49,211 So the need for the software 3633 02:29:49,211 --> 02:29:51,211 would remain. 3634 02:29:53,715 --> 02:29:54,382 However, it is beneficial to 3635 02:29:54,382 --> 02:29:57,382 have the same provider of 3636 02:29:58,553 --> 02:29:59,255 the of the assessment or 3637 02:29:59,255 --> 02:29:59,855 cartography in this in this 3638 02:29:59,855 --> 02:30:02,855 example to have the best 3639 02:30:03,725 --> 02:30:04,392 comparison, the best data sets 3640 02:30:04,392 --> 02:30:05,600 and the best information for 3641 02:30:05,600 --> 02:30:08,600 the assessment that will be 3642 02:30:08,330 --> 02:30:08,630 presented to council. 3643 02:30:08,630 --> 02:30:09,298 Right. 3644 02:30:09,298 --> 02:30:09,998 Which brings me back to 3645 02:30:09,998 --> 02:30:13,368 the other point though If that 3646 02:30:13,368 --> 02:30:16,968 is the city's position then are 3647 02:30:17,439 --> 02:30:18,139 we incentivizing 3648 02:30:18,139 --> 02:30:18,807 competitiveness from our our 3649 02:30:18,807 --> 02:30:21,207 vendors especially once they 3650 02:30:23,278 --> 02:30:23,545 get the initial contract with 3651 02:30:23,545 --> 02:30:25,545 us? 3652 02:30:28,282 --> 02:30:29,184 So need for the department will 3653 02:30:29,184 --> 02:30:29,852 need for this year if it makes 3654 02:30:29,852 --> 02:30:32,252 sense or the recommendation 3655 02:30:33,288 --> 02:30:36,888 would have been the sole source 3656 02:30:38,930 --> 02:30:38,759 And just just given the follow 3657 02:30:38,759 --> 02:30:41,759 up to the pavement condition 3658 02:30:42,764 --> 02:30:43,432 assessment it would have been 3659 02:30:43,432 --> 02:30:46,432 based on the challenges that 3660 02:30:47,336 --> 02:30:48,370 that staff presented earlier 3661 02:30:48,370 --> 02:30:51,370 And besides the migration and 3662 02:30:51,873 --> 02:30:52,574 everything it's it's it's it's 3663 02:30:52,574 --> 02:30:54,974 really having the data 3664 02:30:57,120 --> 02:30:57,713 the continuity the same 3665 02:30:57,713 --> 02:30:58,613 degradation of the curves and 3666 02:30:58,613 --> 02:31:02,213 all of the assessments that we 3667 02:31:05,870 --> 02:31:05,787 had in 2023 and using current 3668 02:31:05,787 --> 02:31:06,155 assessment of the roads for 3669 02:31:06,155 --> 02:31:08,155 this year. 3670 02:31:10,792 --> 02:31:11,493 Yeah I understand that I don't 3671 02:31:11,493 --> 02:31:11,827 I don't want to go into 3672 02:31:11,827 --> 02:31:12,494 circles. 3673 02:31:12,494 --> 02:31:14,797 I just I think what I'm what 3674 02:31:14,797 --> 02:31:15,597 I'm concerned about is again 3675 02:31:15,597 --> 02:31:19,197 that once we have a certain 3676 02:31:19,568 --> 02:31:20,336 contractor do an assessment and 3677 02:31:20,336 --> 02:31:23,936 doesn't doesn't have to just be 3678 02:31:24,306 --> 02:31:27,906 a roads once they start doing 3679 02:31:28,210 --> 02:31:28,911 work in our city this is not 3680 02:31:28,911 --> 02:31:32,511 the first time I've heard that 3681 02:31:33,480 --> 02:31:33,716 that moving And it's not just 3682 02:31:33,716 --> 02:31:35,716 transportation either moving 3683 02:31:37,453 --> 02:31:38,220 work to a different software 3684 02:31:38,220 --> 02:31:41,220 platform or provider would be 3685 02:31:42,291 --> 02:31:42,992 an enormous undertaking And I 3686 02:31:42,992 --> 02:31:46,361 want to know what the city is 3687 02:31:46,361 --> 02:31:47,162 doing earlier on in 3688 02:31:47,162 --> 02:31:50,762 the processes to protect us and 3689 02:31:51,767 --> 02:31:54,767 protect our resources so that 3690 02:31:56,806 --> 02:31:57,406 the inconvenience of of another 3691 02:31:57,406 --> 02:31:59,806 option doesn't create an 3692 02:32:01,376 --> 02:32:01,944 environment where we're not 3693 02:32:01,944 --> 02:32:02,311 getting the best price 3694 02:32:02,311 --> 02:32:03,120 possible. 3695 02:32:03,120 --> 02:32:03,312 So that's where I'm going with 3696 02:32:03,312 --> 02:32:05,312 that. 3697 02:32:06,382 --> 02:32:06,721 I appreciate the responses. 3698 02:32:06,721 --> 02:32:08,721 Charles. 3699 02:32:10,152 --> 02:32:13,752 Thank you again for um for 3700 02:32:15,357 --> 02:32:17,757 flagging this to council 3701 02:32:20,620 --> 02:32:21,300 residents Point not an ideal 3702 02:32:21,300 --> 02:32:25,230 position to be in today Um but 3703 02:32:25,334 --> 02:32:27,937 I do I do think it's important 3704 02:32:27,937 --> 02:32:30,937 to understand what is is 3705 02:32:33,876 --> 02:32:34,577 changing in terms of um at this 3706 02:32:34,577 --> 02:32:35,344 point we should and we should 3707 02:32:35,344 --> 02:32:38,180 know which sort of contracts 3708 02:32:38,180 --> 02:32:38,880 are most likely to end up in 3709 02:32:38,880 --> 02:32:41,880 these sort of situations and 3710 02:32:42,952 --> 02:32:43,652 take measures earlier on to 3711 02:32:43,652 --> 02:32:47,252 provide the city with as many 3712 02:32:47,990 --> 02:32:48,758 options as possible And if 3713 02:32:48,758 --> 02:32:51,758 the best decision is ultimately 3714 02:32:53,396 --> 02:32:56,396 to continue with the provider 3715 02:32:57,900 --> 02:32:58,768 that we're using, great. 3716 02:32:58,768 --> 02:33:02,368 But let's make sure that that's 3717 02:33:02,738 --> 02:33:05,738 earned rather than a default 3718 02:33:06,976 --> 02:33:07,642 out of that you know, because 3719 02:33:07,642 --> 02:33:10,642 it seems more convenient or 3720 02:33:11,914 --> 02:33:12,582 because the switch would be 3721 02:33:12,582 --> 02:33:13,749 untenable given the timeline 3722 02:33:13,749 --> 02:33:15,749 that that's provided. 3723 02:33:19,255 --> 02:33:19,889 So um I'll second the motion 3724 02:33:19,889 --> 02:33:22,289 but not particularly happy 3725 02:33:23,859 --> 02:33:24,260 about how we ended up here. 3726 02:33:24,260 --> 02:33:24,894 All right. 3727 02:33:24,894 --> 02:33:27,294 Thank you Council members. 3728 02:33:29,265 --> 02:33:29,866 So we have a motion by myself 3729 02:33:29,866 --> 02:33:32,866 that is was displayed on 3730 02:33:32,969 --> 02:33:33,703 the screen which is to move 3731 02:33:33,703 --> 02:33:34,537 the staff recommendation except 3732 02:33:34,537 --> 02:33:38,341 to do it for a two year 3733 02:33:38,341 --> 02:33:39,750 extension and second by 3734 02:33:39,750 --> 02:33:42,750 yourself and I'll quickly throw 3735 02:33:43,179 --> 02:33:43,913 in because I don't like to put 3736 02:33:43,913 --> 02:33:44,613 them in motions that this would 3737 02:33:44,613 --> 02:33:47,613 require the department to move 3738 02:33:47,984 --> 02:33:48,318 forward either with an rfi or 3739 02:33:48,318 --> 02:33:49,520 an rfp. 3740 02:33:49,520 --> 02:33:51,119 We'll leave that in your hands. 3741 02:33:51,119 --> 02:33:55,919 I see co two there in the back 3742 02:33:55,924 --> 02:33:56,993 is nodding yes. 3743 02:33:56,993 --> 02:33:57,627 So with that I will now go to 3744 02:33:57,627 --> 02:33:59,627 Councilmember Van Wolpert. 3745 02:34:00,964 --> 02:34:01,831 Thank you very much. 3746 02:34:01,831 --> 02:34:05,431 Um I have some questions about 3747 02:34:06,169 --> 02:34:07,360 the software itself to uh one 3748 02:34:07,360 --> 02:34:10,339 I'm glad that we are doing our 3749 02:34:10,339 --> 02:34:11,240 pavement condition assessment 3750 02:34:11,240 --> 02:34:11,975 as we should be and we actually 3751 02:34:11,975 --> 02:34:14,975 have a pavement management plan 3752 02:34:15,411 --> 02:34:16,179 that did not exist before many 3753 02:34:16,179 --> 02:34:17,130 of us were up on this dais. 3754 02:34:17,130 --> 02:34:20,249 Now funding it is a different 3755 02:34:20,249 --> 02:34:21,170 challenge of course where you 3756 02:34:21,170 --> 02:34:21,751 can only do as much paving as 3757 02:34:21,751 --> 02:34:24,354 the city budget can support but 3758 02:34:24,354 --> 02:34:24,920 at least we know what we're 3759 02:34:24,920 --> 02:34:25,789 supposed to be doing. 3760 02:34:25,789 --> 02:34:29,389 One question I have though is 3761 02:34:29,759 --> 02:34:33,359 did do we know our districts 3762 02:34:34,970 --> 02:34:34,831 really well and I know for 3763 02:34:34,831 --> 02:34:35,465 example the Karl Mountain Ranch 3764 02:34:35,465 --> 02:34:39,100 Road in my district was an 3765 02:34:39,100 --> 02:34:39,568 absolute disaster and people 3766 02:34:39,568 --> 02:34:40,203 were getting potholes. 3767 02:34:40,203 --> 02:34:43,803 We ended up going to close 3768 02:34:44,400 --> 02:34:44,774 session and paying out I think 3769 02:34:44,774 --> 02:34:45,400 $600,000 for an injury crash on 3770 02:34:45,400 --> 02:34:47,400 it. 3771 02:34:48,745 --> 02:34:49,412 That happened again. 3772 02:34:49,412 --> 02:34:50,790 Rancho Bernardo wrote about 3773 02:34:50,790 --> 02:34:53,790 Arts Center Drive I've been 3774 02:34:53,349 --> 02:34:54,500 telling the mayor's staff for 3775 02:34:54,500 --> 02:34:54,417 two years that this road is 3776 02:34:54,417 --> 02:34:56,417 horrible. 3777 02:34:58,421 --> 02:34:59,189 It needs to be fixed. 3778 02:34:59,189 --> 02:34:59,922 The contractor was a mess and 3779 02:34:59,922 --> 02:35:00,824 we just went to close session. 3780 02:35:00,824 --> 02:35:01,624 We paid another $600,000 out 3781 02:35:01,624 --> 02:35:04,624 with a motorcyclist who got 3782 02:35:05,861 --> 02:35:06,729 injured. 3783 02:35:06,729 --> 02:35:09,729 >> So these roads are major 3784 02:35:10,900 --> 02:35:11,668 thoroughfares and they're going 3785 02:35:11,668 --> 02:35:11,968 to have thousands of people on 3786 02:35:11,968 --> 02:35:12,736 them. 3787 02:35:12,736 --> 02:35:15,705 I understand why we have to fix 3788 02:35:15,705 --> 02:35:16,339 every road in the city 3789 02:35:16,339 --> 02:35:17,400 including cul de sacs but 3790 02:35:17,400 --> 02:35:20,276 the cul de sac is less likely 3791 02:35:20,276 --> 02:35:20,977 to result in a major liability 3792 02:35:20,977 --> 02:35:21,644 payout which then reduces our 3793 02:35:21,644 --> 02:35:24,644 ability to pave other roads. 3794 02:35:25,248 --> 02:35:25,949 So how can we provide this 3795 02:35:25,949 --> 02:35:26,650 information in a useful way to 3796 02:35:26,650 --> 02:35:28,650 the Department Transportation 3797 02:35:30,253 --> 02:35:30,920 to say there's literally an 3798 02:35:30,920 --> 02:35:31,288 accident going to happen on 3799 02:35:31,288 --> 02:35:32,220 this road? 3800 02:35:32,220 --> 02:35:32,388 i am the council member of this 3801 02:35:32,388 --> 02:35:34,388 district. 3802 02:35:34,858 --> 02:35:35,559 I hear from my constituents all 3803 02:35:35,559 --> 02:35:36,226 the time Why can't we put that 3804 02:35:36,226 --> 02:35:39,226 in the software to prevent 3805 02:35:39,929 --> 02:35:40,664 liability and then we can use 3806 02:35:40,664 --> 02:35:44,000 the money we're not spending on 3807 02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:44,334 lawsuits to pave the roads more 3808 02:35:44,334 --> 02:35:45,102 . 3809 02:35:45,102 --> 02:35:48,102 >> Thank you for that question. 3810 02:35:49,390 --> 02:35:49,606 Councilmember Van Wilpert So 3811 02:35:49,606 --> 02:35:50,273 the software does make 3812 02:35:50,273 --> 02:35:52,673 recommendations for the best 3813 02:35:54,411 --> 02:35:54,978 value for the funding that we 3814 02:35:54,978 --> 02:35:57,378 allocate each year to 3815 02:35:58,815 --> 02:35:59,482 the pavement program So it does 3816 02:35:59,482 --> 02:36:00,149 provide and recommend those 3817 02:36:00,149 --> 02:36:02,549 streets that are recommended 3818 02:36:03,787 --> 02:36:04,755 for street rehabilitation and 3819 02:36:04,755 --> 02:36:08,355 that we either provide as a 3820 02:36:08,924 --> 02:36:09,693 standalone pavement projects 3821 02:36:09,693 --> 02:36:13,893 that ecp manages or we we put 3822 02:36:13,930 --> 02:36:14,464 that as our our into our 3823 02:36:14,464 --> 02:36:15,164 Midland Pay program. 3824 02:36:15,164 --> 02:36:18,335 The majority of the streets do 3825 02:36:18,335 --> 02:36:18,936 go to maintaining the roadway 3826 02:36:18,936 --> 02:36:19,570 that are already in good 3827 02:36:19,570 --> 02:36:21,570 conditions and maintaining 3828 02:36:23,600 --> 02:36:23,706 those because you get more bang 3829 02:36:23,706 --> 02:36:24,408 for your buck in trying to 3830 02:36:24,408 --> 02:36:26,808 maintain those those roadways 3831 02:36:28,278 --> 02:36:28,712 for slurry seals and keep seals 3832 02:36:28,712 --> 02:36:29,446 and so forth. 3833 02:36:29,446 --> 02:36:32,446 So because of the limited 3834 02:36:32,749 --> 02:36:33,550 funding that we do have each 3835 02:36:33,550 --> 02:36:37,421 year, of course we don't get to 3836 02:36:37,421 --> 02:36:37,988 address all of the recommended 3837 02:36:37,988 --> 02:36:38,727 streets segments that 3838 02:36:38,727 --> 02:36:39,389 choreograph open gov recommends 3839 02:36:39,389 --> 02:36:43,193 to us So we do make those 3840 02:36:43,193 --> 02:36:43,727 selections based off of our 3841 02:36:43,727 --> 02:36:45,727 field verification. 3842 02:36:48,132 --> 02:36:48,832 Our engineers go out there and 3843 02:36:48,832 --> 02:36:49,990 select those streets, do mark 3844 02:36:49,990 --> 02:36:49,766 out. 3845 02:36:49,766 --> 02:36:52,766 We also coordinate this year 3846 02:36:52,836 --> 02:36:53,537 with council members to let us 3847 02:36:53,537 --> 02:36:54,238 know if there's any particular 3848 02:36:54,238 --> 02:36:54,938 roadways that are really high 3849 02:36:54,938 --> 02:36:58,241 priority for them that we have 3850 02:36:58,241 --> 02:36:58,909 been incorporating and 3851 02:36:58,909 --> 02:36:59,476 potentially swapping in our 3852 02:36:59,476 --> 02:37:01,476 million pave streets. 3853 02:37:03,800 --> 02:37:03,747 So those things are things that 3854 02:37:03,747 --> 02:37:04,415 we're incorporating with our 3855 02:37:04,415 --> 02:37:06,815 streets election year after 3856 02:37:07,985 --> 02:37:08,418 year to make those types of 3857 02:37:08,418 --> 02:37:08,785 improvements. 3858 02:37:08,785 --> 02:37:10,785 >> Got it. 3859 02:37:12,756 --> 02:37:13,457 Well that had not been I have 3860 02:37:13,457 --> 02:37:13,923 not had that experience as a 3861 02:37:13,923 --> 02:37:15,923 council member. 3862 02:37:18,161 --> 02:37:18,795 I have been bringing things and 3863 02:37:18,795 --> 02:37:19,463 not to you in particular 3864 02:37:19,463 --> 02:37:20,197 obviously to to whoever I'm

02:37:27,337 --> 02:37:28,138 brought in spreadsheet sheets. 3869 02:37:28,138 --> 02:37:28,772 I hand them to the mayor's 3870 02:37:28,772 --> 02:37:29,373 office and said these are 3871 02:37:29,373 --> 02:37:31,773 the roads we're getting 3872 02:37:32,420 --> 02:37:32,710 the most complaints about and 3873 02:37:32,710 --> 02:37:33,344 they're major thoroughfares. 3874 02:37:33,344 --> 02:37:33,711 And then two big accidents 3875 02:37:33,711 --> 02:37:35,711 happened. 3876 02:37:36,347 --> 02:37:36,713 We've paid over $1 million in 3877 02:37:36,713 --> 02:37:37,548 liability. 3878 02:37:37,548 --> 02:37:41,190 I feel that I am not being 3879 02:37:41,190 --> 02:37:41,852 listened to. 3880 02:37:41,852 --> 02:37:42,519 >> What I'm trying to tell you 3881 02:37:42,519 --> 02:37:45,519 which roads could result in 3882 02:37:45,756 --> 02:37:46,390 liability And so I don't either 3883 02:37:46,390 --> 02:37:47,123 the software system that's 3884 02:37:47,123 --> 02:37:50,723 blocking us from doing this and 3885 02:37:51,127 --> 02:37:51,828 how can I better communicate so 3886 02:37:51,828 --> 02:37:52,162 we don't have liability on our 3887 02:37:52,162 --> 02:37:52,796 streets? 3888 02:37:52,796 --> 02:37:55,796 Thank you for the comment. 3889 02:37:56,300 --> 02:37:57,000 Consent Council member Von 3890 02:37:57,000 --> 02:38:00,271 Wilpert And as we have shared 3891 02:38:00,271 --> 02:38:03,271 with with Council on our 3892 02:38:04,975 --> 02:38:05,777 overall pci scores citywide we 3893 02:38:05,777 --> 02:38:09,377 did a brief assessment of even 3894 02:38:09,747 --> 02:38:10,815 just the single digit streets 3895 02:38:10,815 --> 02:38:14,415 at the city And based on 3896 02:38:14,884 --> 02:38:15,553 the funding that Transportation 3897 02:38:15,553 --> 02:38:17,953 Department receives it would 3898 02:38:19,560 --> 02:38:19,623 take over ten years to just 3899 02:38:19,623 --> 02:38:22,230 address the streets in 3900 02:38:23,928 --> 02:38:24,595 the single digits which of 3901 02:38:24,595 --> 02:38:25,296 course then as we move into 3902 02:38:25,296 --> 02:38:28,499 the tens and the 20s then all 3903 02:38:28,499 --> 02:38:29,233 that to say is that there is a 3904 02:38:29,233 --> 02:38:32,236 great need citywide And as much 3905 02:38:32,236 --> 02:38:33,300 as we try to prioritize and 3906 02:38:33,300 --> 02:38:35,403 select streets to prevent 3907 02:38:37,275 --> 02:38:38,800 further the deterioration as 3908 02:38:38,800 --> 02:38:41,800 Alex mentioned just the overall 3909 02:38:42,680 --> 02:38:43,381 need is is great but we are 3910 02:38:43,381 --> 02:38:44,248 more than happy to work with 3911 02:38:44,248 --> 02:38:47,553 your office and and take any 3912 02:38:47,553 --> 02:38:48,285 any road selections or any 3913 02:38:48,285 --> 02:38:50,685 anything that your constituents 3914 02:38:52,490 --> 02:38:56,900 are bringing and see how that 3915 02:38:56,927 --> 02:38:57,461 would fit into the selection on 3916 02:38:57,461 --> 02:38:58,161 an annual basis. 3917 02:38:58,161 --> 02:38:58,896 And Councilmember I could add 3918 02:38:58,896 --> 02:39:02,299 on I feel that the coordination 3919 02:39:02,299 --> 02:39:02,934 between officers has been 3920 02:39:02,934 --> 02:39:03,668 successful in reallocating 3921 02:39:03,668 --> 02:39:06,737 certain slurry miles to more or 3922 02:39:06,737 --> 02:39:07,505 higher priority areas. 3923 02:39:07,505 --> 02:39:07,871 I realize it's never going to 3924 02:39:07,871 --> 02:39:08,539 be enough. 3925 02:39:08,539 --> 02:39:11,776 There's always going to be a 3926 02:39:11,776 --> 02:39:12,476 need somewhere out there but 3927 02:39:12,476 --> 02:39:13,177 taking miles that are already 3928 02:39:13,177 --> 02:39:15,980 allocated to your district to 3929 02:39:15,980 --> 02:39:16,747 reallocate them or assign them 3930 02:39:16,747 --> 02:39:17,415 to a different area that is a 3931 02:39:17,415 --> 02:39:18,810 more high priority for your 3932 02:39:18,810 --> 02:39:18,716 community is something that 3933 02:39:18,716 --> 02:39:21,180 we'll continue to do And I 3934 02:39:21,180 --> 02:39:21,652 think we have a good successful 3935 02:39:21,652 --> 02:39:23,788 track record of doing that 3936 02:39:23,788 --> 02:39:26,324 together So far for cota only 3937 02:39:26,324 --> 02:39:28,724 after the accident happened. 3938 02:39:31,495 --> 02:39:32,362 That's what I'm trying to say. 3939 02:39:32,362 --> 02:39:32,664 >> I'm not going to vote for 3940 02:39:32,664 --> 02:39:34,664 this. 3941 02:39:36,734 --> 02:39:37,368 I'm frustrated This Thank you 3942 02:39:37,368 --> 02:39:39,368 Councilmember Von Wilpert. 3943 02:39:41,572 --> 02:39:42,239 And we should emphasize that 3944 02:39:42,239 --> 02:39:42,940 you were the leading voice a 3945 02:39:42,940 --> 02:39:43,541 few years ago to actually get 3946 02:39:43,541 --> 02:39:45,541 the pavement management 3947 02:39:47,450 --> 02:39:47,844 reinstated. 3948 02:39:47,844 --> 02:39:48,445 You did And we found the money 3949 02:39:48,445 --> 02:39:49,247 for it back in the day. 3950 02:39:49,247 --> 02:39:53,447 So with that we will go to 3951 02:39:54,219 --> 02:39:57,819 council member Foster Um okay I 3952 02:39:58,856 --> 02:40:02,456 this is a little difficult I 3953 02:40:05,530 --> 02:40:06,497 understand the ibus comments 3954 02:40:06,497 --> 02:40:07,198 and let me see if I could just 3955 02:40:07,198 --> 02:40:10,198 make sure I understand what's 3956 02:40:10,702 --> 02:40:11,469 before us. 3957 02:40:11,469 --> 02:40:15,690 We have a contract that's going 3958 02:40:15,605 --> 02:40:16,576 to expire soon correct. 3959 02:40:16,576 --> 02:40:18,943 And when is what is that 3960 02:40:18,943 --> 02:40:21,343 expiration date by SEPTEMBER 3961 02:40:22,646 --> 02:40:23,810 8th I'm sorry SEPTEMBER 8th, 3962 02:40:23,810 --> 02:40:25,810 2026 or 2026. 3963 02:40:34,592 --> 02:40:35,260 Um and so clearly the staff 3964 02:40:35,260 --> 02:40:37,660 unfortunately got behind in 3965 02:40:39,898 --> 02:40:40,198 moving forward appropriately 3966 02:40:40,198 --> 02:40:41,165 right? 3967 02:40:41,165 --> 02:40:45,365 I guess in regards to an rfi 3968 02:40:45,402 --> 02:40:49,200 and a subsequent rfp But just 3969 02:40:49,941 --> 02:40:50,641 as I look at this and I 3970 02:40:50,641 --> 02:40:54,241 understand the two years but I 3971 02:40:54,412 --> 02:40:58,612 like to think even if we made 3972 02:40:59,217 --> 02:40:59,918 the rfi we made the rfp that it 3973 02:40:59,918 --> 02:41:02,318 seems if there's another 3974 02:41:04,255 --> 02:41:06,655 contract that is another 3975 02:41:08,493 --> 02:41:09,293 contractor that is selected I 3976 02:41:09,293 --> 02:41:09,995 would assume we would do this 3977 02:41:09,995 --> 02:41:12,995 like any other software where 3978 02:41:13,664 --> 02:41:14,266 there is a transition time 3979 02:41:14,266 --> 02:41:17,266 where we have both under 3980 02:41:18,703 --> 02:41:19,337 contract is that the case or 3981 02:41:19,337 --> 02:41:19,938 not the case in this one? 3982 02:41:19,938 --> 02:41:22,338 And essentially what I'm 3983 02:41:22,340 --> 02:41:23,700 getting at is we could do 3984 02:41:23,700 --> 02:41:23,708 the two years to hold staff 3985 02:41:23,708 --> 02:41:26,708 accountable but we'll be right 3986 02:41:27,579 --> 02:41:28,380 back here before us either with 3987 02:41:28,380 --> 02:41:31,980 better news that you're able to 3988 02:41:32,317 --> 02:41:32,717 move forward or worse news that 3989 02:41:32,717 --> 02:41:33,418 you're not. 3990 02:41:33,418 --> 02:41:36,254 But I'm assuming there will be 3991 02:41:36,254 --> 02:41:36,855 a transition period to um as we 3992 02:41:36,855 --> 02:41:39,855 go from one platform to 3993 02:41:41,393 --> 02:41:41,827 the other like we do with 3994 02:41:41,827 --> 02:41:42,160 anything else. 3995 02:41:42,160 --> 02:41:42,961 Correct. 3996 02:41:42,961 --> 02:41:46,197 I will defer to the department 3997 02:41:46,197 --> 02:41:46,798 on particulars for for what 3998 02:41:46,798 --> 02:41:49,798 their needs will be But 3999 02:41:50,268 --> 02:41:50,736 generally yes we would have to 4000 02:41:50,736 --> 02:41:51,436 under contract. 4001 02:41:51,436 --> 02:41:55,360 We also have to consider if 4002 02:41:55,240 --> 02:41:55,907 there MAY be a protest period 4003 02:41:55,907 --> 02:41:56,641 if something goes wrong and 4004 02:41:56,641 --> 02:41:57,241 there are additional delays two 4005 02:41:57,241 --> 02:42:00,241 years MAY not be enough 4006 02:42:01,120 --> 02:42:01,813 throughout the process. 4007 02:42:01,813 --> 02:42:02,481 Council over the two years that 4008 02:42:02,481 --> 02:42:05,481 I suggested just trying to 4009 02:42:06,718 --> 02:42:07,519 think of what the short as 4010 02:42:07,519 --> 02:42:08,286 potential time is if there is a 4011 02:42:08,286 --> 02:42:10,589 potential the rfa goes out and 4012 02:42:10,589 --> 02:42:11,560 there is no one else who can do 4013 02:42:11,560 --> 02:42:11,790 the work right. 4014 02:42:11,790 --> 02:42:12,524 I don't know if that's the case 4015 02:42:12,524 --> 02:42:15,360 but part of the issue of this 4016 02:42:15,360 --> 02:42:16,940 being direct docketed in my 4017 02:42:16,940 --> 02:42:16,794 office only getting information 4018 02:42:16,794 --> 02:42:19,131 on this like Wednesday through 4019 02:42:19,131 --> 02:42:19,865 Friday of last week if I can't 4020 02:42:19,865 --> 02:42:20,164 answer that question right now. 4021 02:42:20,164 --> 02:42:22,164 Right. 4022 02:42:25,203 --> 02:42:25,938 So if you end up needing to do 4023 02:42:25,938 --> 02:42:26,338 it for a fee and switch to 4024 02:42:26,338 --> 02:42:28,338 another one. 4025 02:42:29,575 --> 02:42:30,275 Yeah you probably do need to 4026 02:42:30,275 --> 02:42:30,942 build in some time to actually 4027 02:42:30,942 --> 02:42:33,342 transition things over Maybe 4028 02:42:34,613 --> 02:42:35,414 that transition time gets 4029 02:42:35,414 --> 02:42:36,181 faster with new way out or I 4030 02:42:36,181 --> 02:42:39,181 don't know But our initial 4031 02:42:39,785 --> 02:42:40,552 recommendation is is going to 4032 02:42:40,552 --> 02:42:43,210 be however long rfi is plus a 4033 02:42:43,210 --> 02:42:43,722 year or two Two years seem to 4034 02:42:43,722 --> 02:42:44,389 be something that came up when 4035 02:42:44,389 --> 02:42:46,789 we were having conversations 4036 02:42:47,192 --> 02:42:47,493 with staff This morning. 4037 02:42:47,493 --> 02:42:49,493 Okay. 4038 02:42:52,197 --> 02:42:53,640 I guess my my next question 4039 02:42:53,640 --> 02:42:56,664 will be as we went into 4040 02:42:57,602 --> 02:43:00,602 the additional contract term is 4041 02:43:00,706 --> 02:43:01,405 I'm assuming it's a five year 4042 02:43:01,405 --> 02:43:05,500 it's a five year contract one 4043 02:43:05,377 --> 02:43:05,677 year terms right option to 4044 02:43:05,677 --> 02:43:06,644 renew. 4045 02:43:06,644 --> 02:43:10,480 Is that how you guys ran this 4046 02:43:10,480 --> 02:43:13,648 this new Yes that is correct. 4047 02:43:15,120 --> 02:43:18,120 Five year extension with one 4048 02:43:19,658 --> 02:43:23,258 year terms that are b7 correct 4049 02:43:24,263 --> 02:43:24,963 When you guys establish 4050 02:43:24,963 --> 02:43:25,664 the when you guys just went 4051 02:43:25,664 --> 02:43:28,640 through your negotiations, was 4052 02:43:28,867 --> 02:43:29,668 it based on cpi index or was it 4053 02:43:29,668 --> 02:43:30,436 did they just work up whatever 4054 02:43:30,436 --> 02:43:34,360 their fresh numbers were And is 4055 02:43:34,390 --> 02:43:34,707 there any are there any 4056 02:43:34,707 --> 02:43:37,107 guardrails that we're taking 4057 02:43:39,644 --> 02:43:40,412 into consideration or were they 4058 02:43:40,412 --> 02:43:41,846 given an open and open path to 4059 02:43:41,846 --> 02:43:44,246 provide you with whatever 4060 02:43:47,520 --> 02:43:47,820 numbers they wanted to? 4061 02:43:47,820 --> 02:43:48,487 >> And so continuation of that 4062 02:43:48,487 --> 02:43:50,887 current annual price which 4063 02:43:52,258 --> 02:43:52,958 incorporates the 3% annual 4064 02:43:52,958 --> 02:43:55,358 inflation and starting with 4065 02:43:56,161 --> 02:43:56,728 your six it accounts for a 5% 4066 02:43:56,728 --> 02:43:58,728 annual inflation rate. 4067 02:44:00,900 --> 02:44:03,900 So it's it continues to 4068 02:44:04,870 --> 02:44:05,671 increase year over year first 4069 02:44:05,671 --> 02:44:08,507 by three years and then at 3% 4070 02:44:08,507 --> 02:44:12,107 and then by 5% four years six 4071 02:44:13,212 --> 02:44:13,813 through ten which is at a is 4072 02:44:13,813 --> 02:44:14,280 that in accordance with 4073 02:44:14,280 --> 02:44:14,580 the price index? 4074 02:44:14,580 --> 02:44:16,580 Right. 4075 02:44:17,883 --> 02:44:18,717 Right. 4076 02:44:18,717 --> 02:44:19,118 I'm trying to try to understand 4077 02:44:19,118 --> 02:44:21,118 what we did. 4078 02:44:22,555 --> 02:44:23,322 Did we give them an open 4079 02:44:23,322 --> 02:44:23,723 checkbook or do we have some 4080 02:44:23,723 --> 02:44:24,356 guardrails? 4081 02:44:24,356 --> 02:44:27,259 That's what I'm trying to 4082 02:44:27,259 --> 02:44:27,593 determine So yes, that is 4083 02:44:27,593 --> 02:44:28,193 correct. 4084 02:44:28,193 --> 02:44:28,828 5% is the max allowable? 4085 02:44:28,828 --> 02:44:31,828 They still have to justify 4086 02:44:32,297 --> 02:44:32,964 submit a request to justify 4087 02:44:32,964 --> 02:44:35,964 the 5% would be the maximum. 4088 02:44:36,869 --> 02:44:37,670 I do want to clarify the term. 4089 02:44:37,670 --> 02:44:38,437 The additional term is a full 4090 02:44:38,437 --> 02:44:41,373 five years that was requested 4091 02:44:41,373 --> 02:44:43,373 by the department. 4092 02:44:46,278 --> 02:44:47,130 If there is an idea to do one 4093 02:44:47,130 --> 02:44:47,713 year with for one additional 4094 02:44:47,713 --> 02:44:51,500 one year options that could be 4095 02:44:51,500 --> 02:44:51,350 a change to the amendment as 4096 02:44:51,350 --> 02:44:51,683 well. 4097 02:44:51,683 --> 02:44:53,683 >> Okay. 4098 02:44:54,486 --> 02:44:54,787 So you guys did a straight 4099 02:44:54,787 --> 02:44:55,187 five. 4100 02:44:55,187 --> 02:44:55,921 Interesting. 4101 02:44:55,921 --> 02:44:58,624 So you had different intentions 4102 02:44:58,624 --> 02:44:59,492 coming here today. 4103 02:44:59,492 --> 02:45:02,492 Is that what we're to 4104 02:45:08,334 --> 02:45:08,934 understand I guess that's okay. 4105 02:45:08,934 --> 02:45:09,869 Don't worry about it. 4106 02:45:09,869 --> 02:45:13,469 I'll conclude there and turn it 4107 02:45:13,506 --> 02:45:13,873 over to my colleague. 4108 02:45:13,873 --> 02:45:14,240 All right. 4109 02:45:14,240 --> 02:45:15,107 Thank you. 4110 02:45:15,107 --> 02:45:18,107 COUNCILMAN Foster will go to 4111 02:45:20,580 --> 02:45:22,648 council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee. 4112 02:45:22,648 --> 02:45:25,480 >> This is getting difficult 4113 02:45:28,220 --> 02:45:28,687 There. 4114 02:45:28,687 --> 02:45:29,422 I hear you. 4115 02:45:29,422 --> 02:45:33,220 But the needed for the software 4116 02:45:33,459 --> 02:45:34,930 and why it's valuable I think 4117 02:45:34,930 --> 02:45:34,427 that's come across pretty 4118 02:45:34,427 --> 02:45:35,127 easily. 4119 02:45:35,127 --> 02:45:37,697 I think I'm just perplexed at 4120 02:45:37,697 --> 02:45:38,331 the timelines here and as 4121 02:45:38,331 --> 02:45:38,998 Councilmember Foster just 4122 02:45:38,998 --> 02:45:39,599 pointed out, the first five 4123 02:45:39,599 --> 02:45:42,599 years of the sole source 4124 02:45:42,602 --> 02:45:43,369 contract that we already 4125 02:45:43,369 --> 02:45:45,369 approved in 2022 already 4126 02:45:46,106 --> 02:45:46,605 allowed for 3% annual increases 4127 02:45:46,605 --> 02:45:47,306 But it factored in 4128 02:45:47,306 --> 02:45:50,906 the potential that if we were 4129 02:45:51,544 --> 02:45:53,479 to extend it that the annual 4130 02:45:53,479 --> 02:45:53,980 increases would jump to 5% 4131 02:45:53,980 --> 02:45:55,980 instead of 3%. 4132 02:45:59,552 --> 02:46:00,586 Is that correct? 4133 02:46:00,586 --> 02:46:02,488 >> So if we if we extend this 4134 02:46:02,488 --> 02:46:03,189 the next even two years right 4135 02:46:03,189 --> 02:46:03,923 now it's accounting for a 5% 4136 02:46:03,923 --> 02:46:06,323 increase inflation factor which 4137 02:46:07,860 --> 02:46:08,527 was a jump over the 3% that was 4138 02:46:08,527 --> 02:46:11,527 built into the original five 4139 02:46:12,498 --> 02:46:14,498 year contract. 4140 02:46:17,202 --> 02:46:17,937 So the 5% is part of the new 4141 02:46:17,937 --> 02:46:18,604 contract amendment negotiations 4142 02:46:18,604 --> 02:46:21,604 and was not included in 4143 02:46:23,943 --> 02:46:24,811 the original contract. 4144 02:46:24,811 --> 02:46:27,811 >> So you started the process 4145 02:46:29,549 --> 02:46:30,820 to consider extending this 4146 02:46:30,820 --> 02:46:32,820 contract in JANUARY? 4147 02:46:33,920 --> 02:46:34,788 That is correct. 4148 02:46:34,788 --> 02:46:37,788 When was the approval for 4149 02:46:41,940 --> 02:46:41,727 the sole source given 4150 02:46:41,727 --> 02:46:42,361 the official memo that was 4151 02:46:42,361 --> 02:46:44,761 approved and signed by 4152 02:46:45,398 --> 02:46:47,798 purchasing and contracting was 4153 02:46:50,103 --> 02:46:51,271 JUNE 4th I believe. 4154 02:46:51,271 --> 02:46:54,871 >> And so it's from JANUARY to 4155 02:46:55,141 --> 02:46:55,909 JUNE. 4156 02:46:55,909 --> 02:46:56,608 I mean it sounded like when 4157 02:46:56,608 --> 02:46:57,277 Councilmember Little River was 4158 02:46:57,277 --> 02:46:59,879 asking the decision was made 4159 02:46:59,879 --> 02:47:00,480 somewhat early on that 4160 02:47:00,480 --> 02:47:02,880 the preference would be 4161 02:47:04,350 --> 02:47:05,118 the sole source. 4162 02:47:05,118 --> 02:47:08,118 Yes, there was a recommendation 4163 02:47:09,189 --> 02:47:12,189 that came out on transportation 4164 02:47:14,260 --> 02:47:14,794 working with pnc on options on 4165 02:47:14,794 --> 02:47:17,794 how to extend services with 4166 02:47:19,132 --> 02:47:19,833 this vendor if you don't mind 4167 02:47:19,833 --> 02:47:20,500 me asking especially since you 4168 02:47:20,500 --> 02:47:23,904 know this has to go through 4169 02:47:23,904 --> 02:47:24,604 purchasing and contracting and 4170 02:47:24,604 --> 02:47:25,305 and you know when you go 4171 02:47:25,305 --> 02:47:28,410 through that process you check 4172 02:47:28,410 --> 02:47:28,808 a number of boxes for what 4173 02:47:28,808 --> 02:47:31,678 would justify a sole source 4174 02:47:31,678 --> 02:47:32,312 contract And one of those I 4175 02:47:32,312 --> 02:47:34,712 believe is something about 4176 02:47:37,250 --> 02:47:37,951 market competition and 4177 02:47:37,951 --> 02:47:38,484 understanding whether the city 4178 02:47:38,484 --> 02:47:39,152 would benefit from a 4179 02:47:39,152 --> 02:47:39,619 competitive process And that 4180 02:47:39,619 --> 02:47:41,619 was not correct. 4181 02:47:41,988 --> 02:47:43,560 I mean I would imagine if we 4182 02:47:43,560 --> 02:47:46,927 had done an rfp or even a loose 4183 02:47:46,927 --> 02:47:47,727 evaluation of vendors it would 4184 02:47:47,727 --> 02:47:51,198 not be difficult for us to come 4185 02:47:51,198 --> 02:47:51,898 back and say the argument that 4186 02:47:51,898 --> 02:47:52,565 you've made which is that this 4187 02:47:52,565 --> 02:47:56,165 is the best vendor option we 4188 02:47:56,169 --> 02:47:56,871 have limited options to come up 4189 02:47:56,871 --> 02:47:57,637 with that but I don't doesn't 4190 02:47:57,637 --> 02:48:00,637 feel like that's actually been 4191 02:48:01,174 --> 02:48:01,808 confirmed In this particular 4192 02:48:01,808 --> 02:48:05,408 case a formal rfi was not 4193 02:48:05,612 --> 02:48:06,346 requested from the department 4194 02:48:06,346 --> 02:48:09,346 in their justification to both 4195 02:48:10,183 --> 02:48:10,750 purchasing and to I believe 4196 02:48:10,750 --> 02:48:11,418 the attorney's office. 4197 02:48:11,418 --> 02:48:14,418 They indicated that they had 4198 02:48:14,888 --> 02:48:15,688 done their own market research 4199 02:48:15,688 --> 02:48:15,989 and did not find any additional 4200 02:48:15,989 --> 02:48:16,722 firms. 4201 02:48:16,722 --> 02:48:18,325 That was part of their 4202 02:48:18,325 --> 02:48:20,325 justification and 4203 02:48:23,630 --> 02:48:23,930 the department's justification 4204 02:48:23,930 --> 02:48:24,698 . 4205 02:48:24,698 --> 02:48:25,564 How long does it typically take 4206 02:48:25,564 --> 02:48:29,164 to conduct an rfi, an rfp 4207 02:48:29,369 --> 02:48:30,237 typically less than 30 days can 4208 02:48:30,237 --> 02:48:33,837 be as quick as a department 4209 02:48:34,206 --> 02:48:34,908 like so even if that was a box 4210 02:48:34,908 --> 02:48:37,477 that we wanted to check, that 4211 02:48:37,477 --> 02:48:38,345 would not have been a difficult 4212 02:48:38,345 --> 02:48:39,145 box to have checked at the end 4213 02:48:39,145 --> 02:48:42,745 of a five year contract term 4214 02:48:45,252 --> 02:48:46,220 for a sole source contract. 4215 02:48:46,220 --> 02:48:50,420 Is there a reason why we didn't 4216 02:48:54,761 --> 02:48:55,462 do that? 4217 02:48:55,462 --> 02:48:58,462 I can perhaps answer that 4218 02:48:59,800 --> 02:49:00,634 question, COUNCILMAN Really? 4219 02:49:00,634 --> 02:49:04,234 So the contract itself is house 4220 02:49:04,738 --> 02:49:07,738 because it's software in our 4221 02:49:09,276 --> 02:49:10,770 I.T fiscal division and so from 4222 02:49:10,770 --> 02:49:13,770 when they start the preparation 4223 02:49:14,481 --> 02:49:15,115 of the renewal of the contract 4224 02:49:15,115 --> 02:49:15,816 because it's expiring they 4225 02:49:15,816 --> 02:49:18,216 coordinated with the engineers 4226 02:49:20,286 --> 02:49:20,921 that actually use the software 4227 02:49:20,921 --> 02:49:24,521 and so forth and based on 4228 02:49:24,958 --> 02:49:25,759 the engineers input it would 4229 02:49:25,759 --> 02:49:29,163 take a lot of work trying to 4230 02:49:29,163 --> 02:49:29,630 you know migrate all of this 4231 02:49:29,630 --> 02:49:30,330 historical data. 4232 02:49:30,330 --> 02:49:33,330 The inventory that we have 4233 02:49:34,568 --> 02:49:35,436 that's been program as part of 4234 02:49:35,436 --> 02:49:39,339 the open gov cadre graph into a 4235 02:49:39,339 --> 02:49:42,939 new platform So they took those 4236 02:49:43,510 --> 02:49:44,211 into considerations As far as 4237 02:49:44,211 --> 02:49:44,978 the length that it would take 4238 02:49:44,978 --> 02:49:47,978 to migrate all that information 4239 02:49:48,415 --> 02:49:49,116 because we're doing the payment 4240 02:49:49,116 --> 02:49:51,516 condition assessment this year 4241 02:49:53,320 --> 02:49:53,988 and having collecting all that 4242 02:49:53,988 --> 02:49:57,588 pci data for the streets and 4243 02:49:58,158 --> 02:49:58,959 putting it into Carter graph 4244 02:49:58,959 --> 02:49:59,793 and needing to have that Carter 4245 02:49:59,793 --> 02:50:02,196 graph be available so that we 4246 02:50:02,196 --> 02:50:02,897 can compare that with the 2023 4247 02:50:02,897 --> 02:50:05,897 assessment that was done That 4248 02:50:07,401 --> 02:50:08,102 was also in Carter Graph So we 4249 02:50:08,102 --> 02:50:08,502 could do an apples to apples 4250 02:50:08,502 --> 02:50:10,502 comparison. 4251 02:50:12,339 --> 02:50:13,140 So you're right that there 4252 02:50:13,140 --> 02:50:17,311 could have been an I done as 4253 02:50:17,311 --> 02:50:18,120 far as I know there is a 4254 02:50:18,120 --> 02:50:18,679 competitor called Street Saver 4255 02:50:18,679 --> 02:50:22,279 that that could be done that 4256 02:50:22,550 --> 02:50:23,217 actually used streets They were 4257 02:50:23,217 --> 02:50:23,918 working for other municipal 4258 02:50:23,918 --> 02:50:27,254 agencies and it also has its 4259 02:50:27,254 --> 02:50:27,988 ups and Dallas just like Carter 4260 02:50:27,988 --> 02:50:28,622 Graph does and so the engineers 4261 02:50:28,622 --> 02:50:31,192 coordinating with our I.T 4262 02:50:31,192 --> 02:50:34,192 fiscal team decided that it 4263 02:50:35,996 --> 02:50:36,730 would be best if we just had 4264 02:50:36,730 --> 02:50:37,431 the extension for this contract 4265 02:50:37,431 --> 02:50:40,868 because of all the work that's 4266 02:50:40,868 --> 02:50:41,535 been invested putting 4267 02:50:41,535 --> 02:50:42,236 everything into this Carter 4268 02:50:42,236 --> 02:50:45,836 graph the five years we think 4269 02:50:45,840 --> 02:50:46,807 is a sufficient time but 4270 02:50:46,807 --> 02:50:49,844 certainly we can we can go out 4271 02:50:49,844 --> 02:50:50,611 to bid with the two year 4272 02:50:50,611 --> 02:50:54,211 extension and see what else is 4273 02:50:54,682 --> 02:50:55,516 out there. 4274 02:50:55,516 --> 02:50:58,516 So when council PRESIDENT Like 4275 02:50:58,685 --> 02:50:59,553 I've asked in the beginning 4276 02:50:59,553 --> 02:51:00,321 when you kick us off about just 4277 02:51:00,321 --> 02:51:03,321 extending it two years instead 4278 02:51:03,457 --> 02:51:04,125 of five whether that would be 4279 02:51:04,125 --> 02:51:04,825 feasible I had an immediate 4280 02:51:04,825 --> 02:51:07,825 frustration when you ask that 4281 02:51:08,328 --> 02:51:09,290 council PRESIDENT Because 4282 02:51:09,290 --> 02:51:09,697 the answer was not yes, that's 4283 02:51:09,697 --> 02:51:12,366 possible And here's the time 4284 02:51:12,366 --> 02:51:13,134 from which we could be done. 4285 02:51:13,134 --> 02:51:16,734 The answer was it's really hard 4286 02:51:17,571 --> 02:51:18,138 to make a switch and therefore 4287 02:51:18,138 --> 02:51:21,138 we didn't look at it. 4288 02:51:22,760 --> 02:51:22,777 And then now I'm hearing 4289 02:51:22,777 --> 02:51:25,713 the actual answer to how long 4290 02:51:25,713 --> 02:51:29,913 it takes to conduct an rfp is 4291 02:51:31,850 --> 02:51:31,885 30 days. 4292 02:51:31,885 --> 02:51:32,320 I don't have any more questions 4293 02:51:32,320 --> 02:51:34,320 at the moment. 4294 02:51:35,956 --> 02:51:36,624 Council PRESIDENT I think 4295 02:51:36,624 --> 02:51:37,391 clearly there is a lot more 4296 02:51:37,391 --> 02:51:40,391 work and information to be 4297 02:51:41,362 --> 02:51:42,630 provided here and a little bit 4298 02:51:42,630 --> 02:51:42,630 more due diligence on our side 4299 02:51:42,630 --> 02:51:43,970 to to get this across 4300 02:51:43,970 --> 02:51:45,970 the finish line. 4301 02:51:45,867 --> 02:51:48,636 And so if I could request that 4302 02:51:48,636 --> 02:51:49,337 we return this item to staff re 4303 02:51:49,337 --> 02:51:49,970 docketed the first week after 4304 02:51:49,970 --> 02:51:50,671 returning from legislative 4305 02:51:50,671 --> 02:51:54,271 recess that can give us enough 4306 02:51:55,109 --> 02:51:55,710 time to engage with pnc on a 4307 02:51:55,710 --> 02:51:56,411 potential rfi if the if 4308 02:51:56,411 --> 02:51:58,946 the timeline is truly 30 days 4309 02:51:58,946 --> 02:51:59,646 as well as to give the aba's 4310 02:51:59,646 --> 02:52:00,448 office enough time to finish 4311 02:52:00,448 --> 02:52:03,448 their assessment and provide a 4312 02:52:03,951 --> 02:52:04,886 recommendation. 4313 02:52:04,886 --> 02:52:08,486 Well now that you've made that 4314 02:52:08,957 --> 02:52:09,524 COUNCILMAN Whitburn here on 4315 02:52:09,524 --> 02:52:09,924 the lights Thank you. 4316 02:52:09,924 --> 02:52:11,924 I'm excited. 4317 02:52:13,427 --> 02:52:13,895 So I'll just have a few 4318 02:52:13,895 --> 02:52:15,895 questions here. 4319 02:52:19,000 --> 02:52:23,200 >> So the decision not to do an 4320 02:52:25,506 --> 02:52:26,641 rfi was housed in it. 4321 02:52:26,641 --> 02:52:30,241 >> So this was a joint effort 4322 02:52:30,979 --> 02:52:31,546 between I.T team and 4323 02:52:31,546 --> 02:52:33,946 engineering and has a 4324 02:52:35,817 --> 02:52:36,518 management team we use 4325 02:52:36,518 --> 02:52:38,918 the software and pnc 4326 02:52:41,822 --> 02:52:42,523 recommendations Can I MAY a 4327 02:52:42,523 --> 02:52:43,224 support when you say that I.T 4328 02:52:43,224 --> 02:52:46,600 team and the engineering team 4329 02:52:46,600 --> 02:52:46,761 you mean the teams within 4330 02:52:46,761 --> 02:52:47,228 the transportation department? 4331 02:52:47,228 --> 02:52:47,728 That is correct. 4332 02:52:47,728 --> 02:52:50,128 So okay I gotcha. 4333 02:52:54,202 --> 02:52:55,437 Okay thank you. 4334 02:52:55,437 --> 02:52:59,637 >> So I think you make a very 4335 02:53:00,141 --> 02:53:00,942 compelling strong case for why 4336 02:53:00,942 --> 02:53:04,542 it could very well make sense 4337 02:53:05,179 --> 02:53:05,880 to stay with the same vendor 4338 02:53:05,880 --> 02:53:09,480 because you get an apples to 4339 02:53:10,118 --> 02:53:10,885 apples comparison that way. 4340 02:53:10,885 --> 02:53:14,485 But that's also going to be 4341 02:53:14,589 --> 02:53:15,323 true in perpetuity. 4342 02:53:15,323 --> 02:53:16,240 You set yourself up for a 4343 02:53:16,240 --> 02:53:19,240 situation where we can never 4344 02:53:20,262 --> 02:53:20,962 switch platforms because to do 4345 02:53:20,962 --> 02:53:21,830 so would inherently result in 4346 02:53:21,830 --> 02:53:24,830 forgoing the apples to apples 4347 02:53:27,769 --> 02:53:28,670 comparison. 4348 02:53:28,670 --> 02:53:32,270 Is there a cost associated with 4349 02:53:33,274 --> 02:53:34,142 doing that rfi Or is it just 4350 02:53:34,142 --> 02:53:34,643 you just send it out and see 4351 02:53:34,643 --> 02:53:35,577 what you get back? 4352 02:53:35,577 --> 02:53:39,177 I mean is it literally that 4353 02:53:42,984 --> 02:53:43,818 simple? 4354 02:53:43,818 --> 02:53:44,319 There is no cost associated 4355 02:53:44,319 --> 02:53:46,719 with doing an rfi. 4356 02:53:48,230 --> 02:53:48,723 It is just us The city would 4357 02:53:48,723 --> 02:53:49,357 identify what their needs are 4358 02:53:49,357 --> 02:53:49,791 to see who MAY be able to 4359 02:53:49,791 --> 02:53:51,791 fulfill them. 4360 02:53:53,327 --> 02:53:54,290 It's just a very simple 4361 02:53:54,290 --> 02:53:54,696 response If we get a response 4362 02:53:54,696 --> 02:53:57,960 from interested parties that 4363 02:53:58,766 --> 02:53:59,401 show that they MAY have 4364 02:53:59,401 --> 02:54:00,101 available products then we 4365 02:54:00,101 --> 02:54:00,367 would have to do a full blown 4366 02:54:00,367 --> 02:54:02,367 rfp. 4367 02:54:04,306 --> 02:54:04,973 Is there any reason why we 4368 02:54:04,973 --> 02:54:05,774 can't just make it a city 4369 02:54:05,774 --> 02:54:09,374 policy that any time we've got 4370 02:54:10,112 --> 02:54:10,979 a contract up for renewal we 4371 02:54:10,979 --> 02:54:14,582 just do an rfi And is there any 4372 02:54:14,582 --> 02:54:15,350 downside to just doing that? 4373 02:54:15,350 --> 02:54:16,118 >> a Typically we will do 4374 02:54:16,118 --> 02:54:19,621 instead of doing an rfi we will 4375 02:54:19,621 --> 02:54:20,355 do an invitation to beta rfp. 4376 02:54:20,355 --> 02:54:21,890 We will skip the step because 4377 02:54:21,890 --> 02:54:24,890 it's not necessary In this 4378 02:54:25,160 --> 02:54:25,926 instance the department had 4379 02:54:25,926 --> 02:54:28,926 indicated there were no viable 4380 02:54:30,666 --> 02:54:31,199 companies and that's why that 4381 02:54:31,199 --> 02:54:33,599 step was not taken. 4382 02:54:35,404 --> 02:54:36,138 But typically an rfi is just to 4383 02:54:36,138 --> 02:54:36,772 see what's in the marketplace. 4384 02:54:36,772 --> 02:54:39,772 Otherwise we will follow a 4385 02:54:40,442 --> 02:54:40,742 regular procurement process. 4386 02:54:40,742 --> 02:54:41,443 Okay. 4387 02:54:41,443 --> 02:54:45,430 So it sounds like the one 4388 02:54:45,681 --> 02:54:46,415 instance in which we don't 4389 02:54:46,415 --> 02:54:47,248 solicit the potential for other 4390 02:54:47,248 --> 02:54:51,448 bidders is where we go into it 4391 02:54:51,853 --> 02:54:52,286 thinking that it's going to be 4392 02:54:52,286 --> 02:54:52,921 a sole source. 4393 02:54:52,921 --> 02:54:53,555 But that's sort of a 4394 02:54:53,555 --> 02:54:55,555 self-fulfilling prophecy. 4395 02:54:57,693 --> 02:54:58,293 I mean wouldn't even in a 4396 02:54:58,293 --> 02:54:58,926 situation where we think 4397 02:54:58,926 --> 02:55:01,326 there's only one qualified 4398 02:55:03,599 --> 02:55:04,299 company wouldn't it behooves us 4399 02:55:04,299 --> 02:55:05,330 to at least do the rfi anyway 4400 02:55:05,330 --> 02:55:05,433 because you don't know what you 4401 02:55:05,433 --> 02:55:07,433 don't know. 4402 02:55:08,203 --> 02:55:08,670 Let's see what we get back. 4403 02:55:08,670 --> 02:55:09,370 Yes, certainly. 4404 02:55:09,370 --> 02:55:12,970 So is there anything else I 4405 02:55:13,408 --> 02:55:14,109 mean in your mind from where 4406 02:55:14,109 --> 02:55:15,770 you said is there any downside 4407 02:55:15,770 --> 02:55:19,460 in just making a policy that we 4408 02:55:19,460 --> 02:55:19,915 always whether it's you know, 4409 02:55:19,915 --> 02:55:23,515 something new or a renewal do 4410 02:55:25,320 --> 02:55:25,691 some sort of competitive 4411 02:55:25,691 --> 02:55:26,355 outreach? 4412 02:55:26,355 --> 02:55:29,355 >> Yes, certainly we can do 4413 02:55:31,920 --> 02:55:31,793 that at minimum it would be an 4414 02:55:31,793 --> 02:55:32,494 rfi but for the most part it 4415 02:55:32,494 --> 02:55:35,798 would be an invitation later a 4416 02:55:35,798 --> 02:55:36,531 request for proposal. 4417 02:55:36,531 --> 02:55:37,232 Do you need something from us 4418 02:55:37,232 --> 02:55:37,966 to effectuate that or is that 4419 02:55:37,966 --> 02:55:41,303 something that we could just do 4420 02:55:41,303 --> 02:55:41,837 going forward Now we can do 4421 02:55:41,837 --> 02:55:42,137 that going forward. 4422 02:55:42,137 --> 02:55:42,504 Okay. 4423 02:55:42,504 --> 02:55:44,504 Thank you. 4424 02:55:47,760 --> 02:55:48,110 I appreciate that. 4425 02:55:48,110 --> 02:55:51,710 Last question just in regard to 4426 02:55:53,215 --> 02:55:53,983 the timing, SEPTEMBER seems 4427 02:55:53,983 --> 02:55:56,983 like sorry JANUARY seems a 4428 02:55:58,721 --> 02:55:59,321 little late to have gotten 4429 02:55:59,321 --> 02:56:01,721 started on this anyway. 4430 02:56:05,600 --> 02:56:05,794 Was there any reason why we 4431 02:56:05,794 --> 02:56:06,528 wouldn't have started on that a 4432 02:56:06,528 --> 02:56:09,528 little bit sooner than that 4433 02:56:11,333 --> 02:56:12,670 anyway Or was it just again 4434 02:56:12,670 --> 02:56:12,767 because we decided it was to be 4435 02:56:12,767 --> 02:56:16,367 a sole source and didn't that 4436 02:56:17,720 --> 02:56:18,400 we did a damage type? 4437 02:56:18,400 --> 02:56:18,741 Well, but I mean even if we did 4438 02:56:18,741 --> 02:56:19,141 decide there was a sole source 4439 02:56:19,141 --> 02:56:19,441 here we are. 4440 02:56:19,441 --> 02:56:21,441 Okay. 4441 02:56:21,443 --> 02:56:22,440 So it did result in kind of a 4442 02:56:22,440 --> 02:56:22,711 crunch time I believe 4443 02:56:22,711 --> 02:56:25,111 the division's process back 4444 02:56:27,917 --> 02:56:28,717 then was to start the process 4445 02:56:28,717 --> 02:56:31,717 of renewal 9 to 12 months prior 4446 02:56:33,355 --> 02:56:33,656 to the contract expiration 4447 02:56:33,656 --> 02:56:34,390 date. 4448 02:56:34,390 --> 02:56:37,920 In this case unfortunately they 4449 02:56:37,920 --> 02:56:37,693 ended up being more towards 4450 02:56:37,693 --> 02:56:38,227 the nine months prior to 4451 02:56:38,227 --> 02:56:40,227 the expiration date. 4452 02:56:43,765 --> 02:56:44,433 Since then we have reviewed our 4453 02:56:44,433 --> 02:56:45,340 internal process and updated 4454 02:56:45,340 --> 02:56:47,434 our tracking tools, our 4455 02:56:50,139 --> 02:56:50,840 contract dashboard to make sure 4456 02:56:50,840 --> 02:56:51,507 that we will start any future 4457 02:56:51,507 --> 02:56:53,907 process of contract renewal 4458 02:56:56,445 --> 02:56:57,790 earlier too to not get into 4459 02:56:57,790 --> 02:56:57,480 the same situation again. 4460 02:56:57,480 --> 02:56:57,847 Okay, good. 4461 02:56:57,847 --> 02:56:59,847 All right. 4462 02:57:02,785 --> 02:57:03,419 So so basically going forward 4463 02:57:03,419 --> 02:57:03,986 you don't anticipate this 4464 02:57:03,986 --> 02:57:04,387 occurrence again with 4465 02:57:04,387 --> 02:57:04,686 the timing? 4466 02:57:04,686 --> 02:57:06,686 Okay. 4467 02:57:10,260 --> 02:57:10,760 What's let's just add a little 4468 02:57:10,760 --> 02:57:11,126 bit kind from my perspective to 4469 02:57:11,126 --> 02:57:11,794 that side. 4470 02:57:11,794 --> 02:57:14,194 I think transportation like 4471 02:57:14,563 --> 02:57:15,297 they usually do in goods and 4472 02:57:15,297 --> 02:57:15,998 services contracts that are not 4473 02:57:15,998 --> 02:57:19,598 necessarily it When we look at 4474 02:57:20,200 --> 02:57:20,736 what the contracts like to use 4475 02:57:20,736 --> 02:57:21,437 bringing forward for whether or 4476 02:57:21,437 --> 02:57:22,104 not they're doing like they're 4477 02:57:22,104 --> 02:57:24,504 starting this process 2 or 3 4478 02:57:25,541 --> 02:57:26,208 years before a contract expires 4479 02:57:26,208 --> 02:57:26,876 those contracts I assume are 4480 02:57:26,876 --> 02:57:29,876 probably not as typically in 4481 02:57:32,114 --> 02:57:32,582 transportation to your house if 4482 02:57:32,582 --> 02:57:33,315 they are in it. 4483 02:57:33,315 --> 02:57:34,490 But I mentioned that might be 4484 02:57:34,490 --> 02:57:34,750 some of the one department does 4485 02:57:34,750 --> 02:57:37,750 9 to 12 months that make sense 4486 02:57:37,753 --> 02:57:38,387 where goods and services 4487 02:57:38,387 --> 02:57:39,880 contract for Nike contract 4488 02:57:39,880 --> 02:57:39,822 which is a service but it's a 4489 02:57:39,822 --> 02:57:42,822 specific type right longer kind 4490 02:57:43,459 --> 02:57:43,993 of time horizon for evaluating 4491 02:57:43,993 --> 02:57:44,393 that's probably more 4492 02:57:44,393 --> 02:57:45,270 appropriate. 4493 02:57:45,270 --> 02:57:48,270 Makes perfect sense to me. 4494 02:57:49,198 --> 02:57:49,999 My only interest is just 4495 02:57:49,999 --> 02:57:50,766 hopefully what we can do to 4496 02:57:50,766 --> 02:57:54,366 avoid some of the situations in 4497 02:57:55,871 --> 02:57:56,472 the future that seems to be if 4498 02:57:56,472 --> 02:57:57,239 we're doing rfi is going 4499 02:57:57,239 --> 02:58:00,839 forward on a regular basis in 4500 02:58:00,843 --> 02:58:01,610 this sort of a situation and 4501 02:58:01,610 --> 02:58:02,378 have a process in place so that 4502 02:58:02,378 --> 02:58:05,978 we don't get into the time 4503 02:58:07,383 --> 02:58:08,117 crunch like we did here and 4504 02:58:08,117 --> 02:58:11,117 we've addressed the root causes 4505 02:58:13,522 --> 02:58:14,390 of these issues. 4506 02:58:14,390 --> 02:58:15,910 So based on that I'll be 4507 02:58:15,910 --> 02:58:18,910 supportive of the motion that 4508 02:58:18,494 --> 02:58:19,950 my colleagues still want to 4509 02:58:19,950 --> 02:58:19,728 move forward with it. 4510 02:58:19,728 --> 02:58:20,290 Do you have a second? 4511 02:58:20,290 --> 02:58:20,329 Yeah. 4512 02:58:20,329 --> 02:58:20,629 Yeah. 4513 02:58:20,629 --> 02:58:22,629 Okay. 4514 02:58:25,501 --> 02:58:26,202 So before going back to 4515 02:58:26,202 --> 02:58:26,902 Councilmember Ella were there 4516 02:58:26,902 --> 02:58:31,102 and cooling off a little bit I 4517 02:58:31,107 --> 02:58:31,674 think go to your suggestion to 4518 02:58:31,674 --> 02:58:32,375 return this to staff. 4519 02:58:32,375 --> 02:58:33,242 I think a lot of questions and 4520 02:58:33,242 --> 02:58:36,779 a lot of confusion, a lot of 4521 02:58:36,779 --> 02:58:37,513 frustration on the council That 4522 02:58:37,513 --> 02:58:38,147 doesn't all add up to a good 4523 02:58:38,147 --> 02:58:40,147 thoughtful informed vote. 4524 02:58:42,819 --> 02:58:47,619 We do need six We MAY only have 4525 02:58:48,291 --> 02:58:48,991 six here So it cuts it even 4526 02:58:48,991 --> 02:58:51,991 finer by waiting till AUGUST. 4527 02:58:53,963 --> 02:58:54,664 So I'm going to take 4528 02:58:54,664 --> 02:58:55,365 the privilege of the chair and 4529 02:58:55,365 --> 02:58:56,990 I am going to call for a vote 4530 02:58:56,990 --> 02:58:59,990 because we are clearly in 4531 02:59:00,169 --> 02:59:02,569 deliberations that we simply 4532 02:59:06,176 --> 02:59:06,843 return it to staff and with us 4533 02:59:06,843 --> 02:59:10,443 to be docketed the first or 4534 02:59:11,581 --> 02:59:12,382 second week back there and that 4535 02:59:12,382 --> 02:59:15,982 should give you enough time to 4536 02:59:17,286 --> 02:59:17,587 a brief council members on this 4537 02:59:17,587 --> 02:59:18,354 . 4538 02:59:18,354 --> 02:59:19,550 It should give you enough time 4539 02:59:19,550 --> 02:59:22,655 to perhaps have a rfi on 4540 02:59:23,126 --> 02:59:23,860 the street by then That might 4541 02:59:23,860 --> 02:59:24,861 give us some formative answers. 4542 02:59:24,861 --> 02:59:29,610 It MAY give you time to explain 4543 02:59:30,233 --> 02:59:34,433 why the open cut bid is dated 4544 02:59:35,605 --> 02:59:36,206 FEBRUARY 25th and it might also 4545 02:59:36,206 --> 02:59:36,840 explain why open go find 4546 02:59:36,840 --> 02:59:39,240 the amendment On SEPTEMBER 4547 02:59:44,881 --> 02:59:45,682 23rd, 1986 Look it up It's real 4548 02:59:45,682 --> 02:59:48,682 so those questions can be 4549 02:59:50,286 --> 02:59:53,286 answered And with the courtesy 4550 02:59:55,391 --> 02:59:56,590 of my colleague to second on 4551 02:59:56,590 --> 02:59:56,725 the original motion I think 4552 02:59:56,725 --> 02:59:57,294 sending this back so that we 4553 02:59:57,294 --> 03:00:00,294 can all build a better 4554 03:00:01,631 --> 03:00:02,398 confidence it narrows it down. 4555 03:00:02,398 --> 03:00:05,998 We would just be returning to 4556 03:00:06,837 --> 03:00:07,604 the staff everything else that 4557 03:00:07,604 --> 03:00:11,804 I said would be a request given 4558 03:00:12,976 --> 03:00:13,710 what council has said yet just 4559 03:00:13,710 --> 03:00:14,410 make sure I'm understanding so 4560 03:00:14,410 --> 03:00:18,100 that instead of the motion in 4561 03:00:18,548 --> 03:00:19,316 front of us we would be voting 4562 03:00:19,316 --> 03:00:19,649 to send it back to staff, 4563 03:00:19,649 --> 03:00:21,649 correct? 4564 03:00:27,157 --> 03:00:27,890 Yeah, I'm certainly supportive 4565 03:00:27,890 --> 03:00:28,592 of that and I appreciate 4566 03:00:28,592 --> 03:00:28,991 the questions that colleagues 4567 03:00:28,991 --> 03:00:30,991 have asked. 4568 03:00:31,294 --> 03:00:32,280 I think and Catherine Whitburn 4569 03:00:32,280 --> 03:00:32,696 was getting to this the general 4570 03:00:32,696 --> 03:00:35,696 like standard approach of at 4571 03:00:37,300 --> 03:00:37,601 minimum seeing what else is out 4572 03:00:37,601 --> 03:00:38,368 there. 4573 03:00:38,368 --> 03:00:40,369 I just don't I don't see what 4574 03:00:40,369 --> 03:00:44,569 the city has to lose in that 4575 03:00:47,611 --> 03:00:48,378 situation And I'm going to say 4576 03:00:48,378 --> 03:00:48,645 it even it's going to people 4577 03:00:48,645 --> 03:00:50,645 off. 4578 03:00:53,160 --> 03:00:53,717 This is why we want someone in 4579 03:00:53,717 --> 03:00:56,717 charge who's across the board 4580 03:00:59,189 --> 03:00:59,923 is standardizing practices and 4581 03:00:59,923 --> 03:01:02,923 procedures for things like this 4582 03:01:05,528 --> 03:01:06,296 And there's people in the room 4583 03:01:06,296 --> 03:01:10,496 who are bosses but the boss is 4584 03:01:12,135 --> 03:01:12,836 not here and that's why we get 4585 03:01:12,836 --> 03:01:13,503 frustrated It speak for myself 4586 03:01:13,503 --> 03:01:14,204 that's what I get frustrated 4587 03:01:14,204 --> 03:01:17,204 And the refusal to acknowledge 4588 03:01:20,711 --> 03:01:21,311 the benefits of having a person 4589 03:01:21,311 --> 03:01:22,110 who is solely focused on 4590 03:01:22,110 --> 03:01:25,611 the operations of the city who 4591 03:01:26,984 --> 03:01:27,684 can speak to and answer for 4592 03:01:27,684 --> 03:01:28,185 the way things are done at an 4593 03:01:28,185 --> 03:01:30,185 operational level. 4594 03:01:32,422 --> 03:01:33,296 So I'm very supportive of this 4595 03:01:33,296 --> 03:01:33,890 Going back I have no idea why 4596 03:01:33,890 --> 03:01:36,290 this wouldn't be common 4597 03:01:38,328 --> 03:01:39,290 practice and I'll just have 4598 03:01:39,290 --> 03:01:39,797 this part and this isn't even 4599 03:01:39,797 --> 03:01:44,234 like I said out of the heat of 4600 03:01:44,234 --> 03:01:44,868 the moment it's just a feeling 4601 03:01:44,868 --> 03:01:47,268 that continues to persist. 4602 03:01:50,307 --> 03:01:50,974 It's that the governance of 4603 03:01:50,974 --> 03:01:51,642 this council at times feels 4604 03:01:51,642 --> 03:01:54,642 like an inconvenience and it 4605 03:01:55,946 --> 03:01:56,680 can't work that way because 4606 03:01:56,680 --> 03:02:00,280 time and time again the council 4607 03:02:02,786 --> 03:02:03,520 I think actually really works 4608 03:02:03,520 --> 03:02:04,188 to make sure that we're keeping 4609 03:02:04,188 --> 03:02:07,788 the gears turning in the way 4610 03:02:08,291 --> 03:02:09,590 that we know they have to turn. 4611 03:02:09,590 --> 03:02:12,659 But taking that for granted and 4612 03:02:14,365 --> 03:02:15,320 pushing us in a corner is also 4613 03:02:15,320 --> 03:02:19,232 it just it's not the way and 4614 03:02:19,470 --> 03:02:20,337 finding ways around us being 4615 03:02:20,337 --> 03:02:21,105 able to govern in the way that 4616 03:02:21,105 --> 03:02:21,572 we we need to govern is also 4617 03:02:21,572 --> 03:02:23,572 not acceptable. 4618 03:02:26,309 --> 03:02:26,944 So I'm glad to see this to be 4619 03:02:26,944 --> 03:02:27,611 returned and I appreciate 4620 03:02:27,611 --> 03:02:30,611 the attention to detail that 4621 03:02:31,415 --> 03:02:32,160 you just provided and I surely 4622 03:02:32,160 --> 03:02:35,160 hope that in the future 4623 03:02:37,922 --> 03:02:38,789 the very, very basic question 4624 03:02:38,789 --> 03:02:39,456 of who else is out there that 4625 03:02:39,456 --> 03:02:42,456 could have offered this and 4626 03:02:43,794 --> 03:02:44,495 could they have offered it at a 4627 03:02:44,495 --> 03:02:45,229 similar product at a better 4628 03:02:45,229 --> 03:02:45,963 price at a bare minimum That is 4629 03:02:45,963 --> 03:02:49,563 a question that every single of 4630 03:02:49,900 --> 03:02:50,668 our constituents deserves an 4631 03:02:50,668 --> 03:02:51,368 answer to and we should be able 4632 03:02:51,368 --> 03:02:51,668 provide an accurate answer to 4633 03:02:51,668 --> 03:02:52,103 that. 4634 03:02:52,103 --> 03:02:52,469 >> Thank you. 4635 03:02:52,469 --> 03:02:54,469 All right. 4636 03:02:55,940 --> 03:02:56,640 So we have

--> 03:04:17,621 Thank you. 4686 03:04:17,621 --> 03:04:19,621 >> Council PRESIDENT Just 4687 03:04:21,926 --> 03:04:22,660 briefly want to make sure that 4688 03:04:22,660 --> 03:04:23,361 I understand what this is about 4689 03:04:23,361 --> 03:04:26,361 The oci, the overall condition 4690 03:04:27,865 --> 03:04:30,265 index for city assets. 4691 03:04:32,270 --> 03:04:33,370 I think I recall correctly that 4692 03:04:33,370 --> 03:04:33,637 in 2023 what is involved with 4693 03:04:33,637 --> 03:04:36,637 our streets in our city 4694 03:04:38,743 --> 03:04:39,444 throughout our city and I 4695 03:04:39,444 --> 03:04:40,144 believe that it has been many, 4696 03:04:40,144 --> 03:04:43,744 many years much more than four 4697 03:04:44,182 --> 03:04:44,882 I think even more than seven 4698 03:04:44,882 --> 03:04:45,516 since that kind of an 4699 03:04:45,516 --> 03:04:47,916 assessment had been made. 4700 03:04:51,189 --> 03:04:51,789 And I also think I recall that 4701 03:04:51,789 --> 03:04:54,789 they used some kind of 4702 03:04:56,694 --> 03:04:57,395 ultrasound to check on 4703 03:04:57,395 --> 03:04:57,962 the street And how many miles 4704 03:04:57,962 --> 03:04:58,763 of streets do we have? 4705 03:04:58,763 --> 03:05:01,763 It's an incredibly large number 4706 03:05:02,933 --> 03:05:03,334 of is a very large city about 4707 03:05:03,334 --> 03:05:05,334 6600 miles. 4708 03:05:07,839 --> 03:05:08,540 >> Well, I saw something in 4709 03:05:08,540 --> 03:05:10,940 your about 6600 lanes laneways 4710 03:05:14,479 --> 03:05:14,879 or something. 4711 03:05:14,879 --> 03:05:15,713 Correct. 4712 03:05:15,713 --> 03:05:20,250 Was lane way the same as a mile 4713 03:05:20,250 --> 03:05:20,552 Lane Miles Lane miles. 4714 03:05:20,552 --> 03:05:21,319 Okay. 4715 03:05:21,319 --> 03:05:21,719 So we're doing both sides of 4716 03:05:21,719 --> 03:05:23,719 the streets. 4717 03:05:25,230 --> 03:05:26,570 It's a lot at any rate. 4718 03:05:26,570 --> 03:05:26,758 >> Am I correct that it was an 4719 03:05:26,758 --> 03:05:29,758 ultrasound kind of a machine? 4720 03:05:32,297 --> 03:05:32,997 Yes, they do The laser when 4721 03:05:32,997 --> 03:05:33,698 they do the assessment they 4722 03:05:33,698 --> 03:05:34,331 have bands that does the laser 4723 03:05:34,331 --> 03:05:36,731 evaluation of the street. 4724 03:05:37,971 --> 03:05:38,670 So we're bouncing the light off 4725 03:05:38,670 --> 03:05:39,337 the street to see the depth of 4726 03:05:39,337 --> 03:05:42,937 the holes in the cracks etc. 4727 03:05:43,108 --> 03:05:43,408 Correct. 4728 03:05:43,408 --> 03:05:44,420 Okay. 4729 03:05:44,420 --> 03:05:44,776 Well my understanding at 4730 03:05:44,776 --> 03:05:48,976 the time was that that was kind 4731 03:05:50,810 --> 03:05:50,749 of a new process and that this 4732 03:05:50,749 --> 03:05:51,149 was one of the few companies 4733 03:05:51,149 --> 03:05:53,149 that did it. 4734 03:05:55,220 --> 03:05:55,920 Now am I correct in that or at 4735 03:05:55,920 --> 03:05:56,621 that time it seemed like that 4736 03:05:56,621 --> 03:06:00,221 was the only people who really 4737 03:06:01,126 --> 03:06:02,930 could do this Is the really we 4738 03:06:02,930 --> 03:06:05,693 think there is other if you're 4739 03:06:07,432 --> 03:06:08,990 referring to the pavement 4740 03:06:08,990 --> 03:06:08,800 condition assessment Council 4741 03:06:08,800 --> 03:06:09,367 member that that one is we're 4742 03:06:09,367 --> 03:06:12,367 doing the rfp for that 4743 03:06:13,772 --> 03:06:14,439 currently We just pass that on 4744 03:06:14,439 --> 03:06:16,839 to purchasing contracting to 4745 03:06:19,844 --> 03:06:20,745 build an advertisement so that 4746 03:06:20,745 --> 03:06:21,480 is in route to to be advertise. 4747 03:06:21,480 --> 03:06:24,480 >> Okay so this contract is 4748 03:06:25,917 --> 03:06:26,618 only for the software that 4749 03:06:26,618 --> 03:06:27,118 the software correct Then goes 4750 03:06:27,118 --> 03:06:29,118 our pci evaluation 4751 03:06:31,857 --> 03:06:32,557 the deterioration curve 4752 03:06:32,557 --> 03:06:33,158 modeling and so and then 4753 03:06:33,158 --> 03:06:35,158 the recommendations for 4754 03:06:37,629 --> 03:06:37,996 treatments It's that computer 4755 03:06:37,996 --> 03:06:38,663 software. 4756 03:06:38,663 --> 03:06:39,364 >> Okay well I agree with us 4757 03:06:39,364 --> 03:06:42,964 Let's let's get it back there. 4758 03:06:43,768 --> 03:06:44,470 Let's do the rfp. 4759 03:06:44,470 --> 03:06:45,170 Let's change policy though so 4760 03:06:45,170 --> 03:06:47,570 that whenever something comes 4761 03:06:49,941 --> 03:06:50,809 up we do an rfp. 4762 03:06:50,809 --> 03:06:51,576 I suggest we start at least 12 4763 03:06:51,576 --> 03:06:54,513 months at a time because if 4764 03:06:54,513 --> 03:06:55,180 you're doing the three 4765 03:06:55,180 --> 03:06:55,847 different departments as you 4766 03:06:55,847 --> 03:06:56,448 mentioned, it takes a lot of 4767 03:06:56,448 --> 03:06:59,448 time for somebody to get 4768 03:06:59,985 --> 03:07:00,786 together and get on the same 4769 03:07:00,786 --> 03:07:04,986 page, etc. So I think I think 4770 03:07:06,691 --> 03:07:07,392 we should start earlier and I'm 4771 03:07:07,392 --> 03:07:08,600 glad that we're going to send 4772 03:07:08,600 --> 03:07:08,894 it back and you're going to 4773 03:07:08,894 --> 03:07:12,397 have a lot of work to do pretty 4774 03:07:12,397 --> 03:07:13,980 quickly here. 4775 03:07:13,980 --> 03:07:13,799 There MAY be other companies 4776 03:07:13,799 --> 03:07:14,433 that in the ensuing three four 4777 03:07:14,433 --> 03:07:17,936 years have come up with a 4778 03:07:17,936 --> 03:07:19,300 method of doing it. 4779 03:07:19,300 --> 03:07:19,770 As I recall, it took a year or 4780 03:07:19,770 --> 03:07:22,770 two before that actual physical 4781 03:07:24,109 --> 03:07:24,977 assessment of the oci took 4782 03:07:24,977 --> 03:07:25,877 place and then we had to put it 4783 03:07:25,877 --> 03:07:29,477 into computers and get it all 4784 03:07:29,748 --> 03:07:30,582 organized right? 4785 03:07:30,582 --> 03:07:34,782 So it's a long process and it's 4786 03:07:35,120 --> 03:07:35,787 very worthwhile and it shows us 4787 03:07:35,787 --> 03:07:36,254 which streets should be our 4788 03:07:36,254 --> 03:07:37,255 priority to fix. 4789 03:07:37,255 --> 03:07:41,455 And so I think it is very 4790 03:07:41,492 --> 03:07:42,161 important. 4791 03:07:42,161 --> 03:07:42,861 I'm glad it's going back. 4792 03:07:42,861 --> 03:07:43,528 I'll be supportive of that and 4793 03:07:43,528 --> 03:07:47,128 I wish you luck in speeding 4794 03:07:47,599 --> 03:07:48,300 things up and being a little 4795 03:07:48,300 --> 03:07:49,100 bit more on top And I'm 4796 03:07:49,100 --> 03:07:52,100 interested in what the number 4797 03:07:53,605

Thank you. 4801 03:07:59,745 --> 03:08:00,446 All right. 4802 03:08:00,446 --> 03:08:01,146 Thank you Council member Okay. 4803 03:08:01,146 --> 03:08:05,346 So the motion on the floor is 4804

03:21:59,452 facilitate something like what 5266 03:22:01,290 --> 03:22:04,890 is done at council meetings at 5267 03:22:05,828 --> 03:22:06,495 I'm sorry the County Board of 5268 03:22:06,495 -->

03:42:51,610 serious consequences. 5945 03:42:53,113 --> 03:42:53,781 These concerns show us 5946 03:42:53,781 --> 03:42:56,781 the importance of relying on 5947 03:42:57,418 --> 03:42:58,119 sound science and accurate data 5948 03:42:58,119 --> 03:42:58,486 when developing public safety 5949 03:42:58,486 --> 03:43:00,486 policies. 5950 03:43:02,390 --> 03:43:03,570 These same questions are 5951 03:43:03,570 --> 03:43:03,724 relevant here in San Diego. 5952 03:43:03,724 --> 03:43:06,124 Are we collecting sufficient 5953 03:43:08,196 --> 03:43:08,830 information about marijuana to 5954

efforts are 5973 03:43:43,765 --> 03:43:44,532 warranted. 5974 03:43:44,532 --> 03:43:45,233 San Diego has an opportunity to 5975 03:43:45,233 --> 03:43:48,233 lead by making evidence based 5976 03:43:49,938 --> 03:43:50,638 decisions and collecting our 5977 03:43:50,638 --> 03:43:52,638 terminals, concluded Madison. 5978 03:43:54,109 --> 03:43:54,877 >> If you can please unmute. 5979

03:46:13,613 month process of community 6058 03:46:15,751 --> 03:46:16,518 input to discuss best practices 6059 03:46:16,518 --> 03:46:17,253 in leading park and in working 6060 03:46:17,253 --> 03:46:17,619 towards a new better principled 6061 03:46:17,619 --> 03:46:19,619 pr vendor. 6062 03:46:20,956 --> 03:46:21,622 This is simply a good process 6063 03:46:21,622 --> 03:46:22,291 of community participation 6064 03:46:22,291 --> 03:46:22,691 the San Diego community can 6065 03:46:22,691 --> 03:46:24,691 learn from. 6066 03:46:27,290 --> 03:46:27,596 From this I hope the San Diego 6067 03:46:27,596 --> 03:46:28,263 community can also be 6068 03:46:28,263 --> 03:46:28,998 considering a yearly review 6069 03:46:28,998 --> 03:46:31,998 process and tech redundancy and 6070 03:46:32,701 --> 03:46:33,435 how small surveillance tech 6071 03:46:33,435 --> 03:46:34,103 reductions reductions each year 6072 03:46:34,103 --> 03:46:34,637 can offer a more efficient, 6073 03:46:34,637 --> 03:46:36,637 strategically placed 6074 03:46:38,507 --> 03:46:39,275 neighborhood tech practices. 6075 03:46:39,275 --> 03:46:39,941 Theory This will not take away 6076 03:46:39,941 --> 03:46:42,941 much from current San Diego 6077 03:46:43,579 --> 03:46:44,213 neighborhood public safety and 6078 03:46:44,213 --> 03:46:44,947 we will have ongoing good 6079 03:46:44,947 --> 03:46:45,514 efforts towards responsibility, 6080 03:46:45,514 --> 03:46:47,514 clarity, oversight and 6081 03:46:49,618 --> 03:46:49,984 consistency with accountability 6082 03:46:49,984 --> 03:46:50,653 policies. 6083 03:46:50,653 --> 03:46:54,253 From all of this I strongly 6084 03:46:55,991 --> 03:46:56,659 feel San Diego City Council and 6085 03:46:56,659 --> 03:46:57,359 city government will simply 6086 03:46:57,359 --> 03:46:58,590 have to make more clear and to 6087 03:46:58,590 --> 03:47:01,300 more openly relate to the San 6088 03:47:01,300 --> 03:47:01,764 Diego community at this time 6089 03:47:01,764 --> 03:47:02,498 and help better conversations 6090 03:47:02,498 --> 03:47:03,232 and ideas are developing within 6091 03:47:03,232 --> 03:47:06,232 the current spoken and unspoken 6092 03:47:06,802 --> 03:47:07,469 procedures and guidelines of 6093 03:47:07,469 --> 03:47:08,170 fda approved in real time in 6094 03:47:08,170 --> 03:47:10,570 our current San Diego 6095 03:47:12,975 --> 03:47:13,642 neighborhoods. 6096 03:47:13,642 --> 03:47:14,310 Perhaps this could become a 6097 03:47:14,310 --> 03:47:16,710 helpful good public meeting 6098 03:47:17,178 --> 03:47:17,847 conversation during the 2026 6099 03:47:17,847 --> 03:47:18,414 fall election time and about 6100 03:47:18,414 --> 03:47:20,814 current San Diego Tech 6101 03:47:23,753 --> 03:47:24,453 Accountability Neighborhood 6102 03:47:24,453 --> 03:47:25,154 public safety concerns and its 6103 03:47:25,154 --> 03:47:25,588 ways of neighborhood community 6104 03:47:25,588 --> 03:47:27,588 hearing ideas. 6105 03:47:28,391 --> 03:47:29,125 All sides in the 2027. 6106 03:47:29,125 --> 03:47:32,725 These ideas are meant to be 6107 03:47:33,929 --> 03:47:34,764 open statement of good logic 6108 03:47:34,764 --> 03:47:35,463 and to help add to the current 6109 03:47:35,463 --> 03:47:35,965 ongoing San Diego conversation 6110 03:47:35,965 --> 03:47:37,965 on these subjects. 6111 03:47:41,370 --> 03:47:42,710 I hope people like Joi and 6112 03:47:42,710 --> 03:47:44,471 Councilperson LaCava can take 6113 03:47:46,609 --> 03:47:47,243 these words to heart and I hope 6114

--> 03:47:51,747 take these ideas to heart. 6118 03:47:51,747 --> 03:47:52,615 Thank you. 6119 03:47:52,615 --> 03:47:56,215 >> Thank you Judy Strong if you 6120 03:47:56,953 --> 03:47:57,553 can please on the Good evening 6121 03:47:57,553 --> 03:47:59,953 San Diego City Council. 6122 03:48:02,258 --> 03:48:02,959 As most of you know, the u-t 6123 03:48:02,959 --> 03:48:03,493 has been publishing letters to 6124 03:48:03,493 --> 03:48:05,493 the editor regarding 6125 03:48:08,640 --> 03:48:08,598 the closure of the 13 bathrooms 6126 03:48:08,598 --> 03:48:10,998 in Mission Bay Area. 6127 03:48:12,340 --> 03:48:12,735 And as I was reading the one 6128 03:48:12,735 --> 03:48:13,603 today about the fellow who had 6129 03:48:13,603 --> 03:48:17,203 colitis, I was sort of overcome 6130 03:48:18,408 --> 03:48:19,410 by my own personal experience 6131 03:48:19,410 --> 03:48:22,641 with a child who also has 6132 03:48:24,680 --> 03:48:25,448 colitis and the trauma that has 6133 03:48:25,448 --> 03:48:26,315 been her life since she was six 6134 03:48:26,315 --> 03:48:30,515 and how much it has a limited 6135 03:48:30,520 --> 03:48:31,254 how she can navigate her world. 6136 03:48:31,254 --> 03:48:31,787 She's now a college student and 6137 03:48:31,787 --> 03:48:34,187 has had much medical 6138 03:48:35,792 --> 03:48:36,459 interventions since then 6139 03:48:36,459 --> 03:48:37,590 including an operation that 6140 03:48:37,590 --> 03:48:40,590 created a stoma for her. 6141 03:48:41,764 --> 03:48:42,365 But just and that's had its own 6142 03:48:42,365 --> 03:48:42,999 ramifications as you can 6143 03:48:42,999 --> 03:48:43,366 imagine towards finding a 6144 03:48:43,366 --> 03:48:45,366 bathroom. 6145 03:48:48,371 --> 03:48:49,380 So I'm wondering for a city who 6146 03:48:49,380 --> 03:48:52,380 has always cared about clean 6147 03:48:54,244 --> 03:48:55,110 air, clean water, public health 6148 03:48:55,110 --> 03:48:55,411 and safety, what the heck are 6149 03:48:55,411 --> 03:48:56,112 we thinking? 6150 03:48:56,112 --> 03:48:59,712 We can't have something in our 6151 03:49:00,450 --> 03:49:01,170 we can't lack public bathrooms 6152 03:49:01,170 --> 03:49:01,718 in our public spaces. 6153 03:49:01,718 --> 03:49:02,218 We just can't It doesn't make 6154 03:49:02,218 --> 03:49:04,618 any sense at all. 6155 03:49:06,723 --> 03:49:07,290 It harms the reputation of 6156 03:49:07,290 --> 03:49:07,891 the city of San Diego. 6157 03:49:07,891 --> 03:49:08,623 It undermines our goals. 6158 03:49:08,623 --> 03:49:12,223 It goes against the rhetoric we 6159 03:49:12,829 --> 03:49:13,496 say every day And my 6160 03:49:13,496 --> 03:49:15,896 granddaughter isn't alone in 6161 03:49:18,700 --> 03:49:19,268 this situation by any stretch 6162 03:49:19,268 --> 03:49:20,690 of the imagination. 6163 03:49:20,690 --> 03:49:20,670 We need to rethink it and we 6164 03:49:20,670 --> 03:49:21,170 need to rethink it now. 6165 03:49:21,170 --> 03:49:22,305 Thank you. 6166 03:49:22,305 --> 03:49:24,305 Thank you. 6167 03:49:29,912 --> 03:49:30,413 >> Christine Wellborn. 6168 03:49:30,413 --> 03:49:32,413 Christine Wilburn. 6169 03:49:36,319 --> 03:49:36,686 I can't unring the bell. 6170 03:49:36,686 --> 03:49:37,353 I'm sorry. 6171 03:49:37,353 --> 03:49:37,854 Christine one district one. 6172 03:49:37,854 --> 03:49:39,854 I'm calling about 6173 03:49:39,956 --> 03:49:40,690 the disgraceful, disgusting and 6174 03:49:40,690 --> 03:49:41,391 unacceptable bathroom closures. 6175 03:49:41,391 --> 03:49:44,391 It's my understanding that no 6176 03:49:46,563 --> 03:49:47,960 staff positions were eliminated 6177 03:49:47,960 --> 03:49:49,960 eliminated for this. 6178 03:49:51,834 --> 03:49:54,834 So for $550,000, why don't we 6179 03:49:57,474 --> 03:49:58,174 have some sort of drive to so 6180 03:49:58,174 --> 03:49:58,841 residents can donate cleaning 6181 03:49:58,841 --> 03:50:01,841 supplies and toilet paper if 6182 03:50:03,579 --> 03:50:04,314 that's an issue because it's 6183 03:50:04,314 --> 03:50:05,148 not a staff issue and residents 6184 03:50:05,148 --> 03:50:08,748 would be much more willing to 6185 03:50:10,119 --> 03:50:10,453 donate actual products and 6186 03:50:10,453 --> 03:50:11,220 things. 6187 03:50:11,220 --> 03:50:14,220 Then vote for more taxes 6188 03:50:15,926 --> 03:50:16,560 because we see that our money 6189 03:50:16,560 --> 03:50:17,294 is not being spent wisely. 6190 03:50:17,294 --> 03:50:20,294 So that's my suggestion is 6191 03:50:21,365 --> 03:50:22,232 doing that. 6192 03:50:22,232 --> 03:50:25,832 >> Also I'm not sure if you're 6193 03:50:26,469 --> 03:50:27,204 aware but the new trash trucks 6194 03:50:27,204 --> 03:50:27,770 require three feet clearance in 6195 03:50:27,770 --> 03:50:30,770 order to pick them up. 6196 03:50:32,142 --> 03:50:32,541 They cannot get in more narrow 6197 03:50:32,541 --> 03:50:33,209 area. 6198 03:50:33,209 --> 03:50:33,910 I don't have that problem 6199 03:50:33,910 --> 03:50:34,644 personally but I've heard that 6200 03:50:34,644 --> 03:50:38,244 people have not had their trash 6201 03:50:38,348 --> 03:50:39,490 picked up for multiple weeks 6202 03:50:39,490 --> 03:50:39,816 because of the new trucks and 6203 03:50:39,816 --> 03:50:42,816 they're in areas where parking 6204 03:50:44,821 --> 03:50:45,488 is not easy to come by. 6205 03:50:45,488 --> 03:50:46,122 So I'm not sure what 6206 03:50:46,122 --> 03:50:49,122 the solution is for that. 6207 03:50:49,959 --> 03:50:50,694 But when you're greenlighting 6208 03:50:50,694 --> 03:50:51,393 all these issues and apartment 6209 03:50:51,393 --> 03:50:53,793 complexes and everything else 6210 03:50:56,800 --> 03:50:57,467 and not requiring ample parking 6211 03:50:57,467 --> 03:50:58,201 where people are supposed to 6212 03:50:58,201 --> 03:50:58,935 put their trash cans if they're 6213 03:50:58,935 --> 03:51:02,539 not going to get picked up and 6214 03:51:02,539 --> 03:51:03,206 left there three feet apart, 6215 03:51:03,206 --> 03:51:03,840 then that's impossible to do 6216 03:51:03,840 --> 03:51:06,240 because there's no space. 6217 03:51:08,211 --> 03:51:08,812 So anyway and also PRESIDENT 6218 03:51:08,812 --> 03:51:11,212 Lacob and council person 6219 03:51:14,651 --> 03:51:15,318
