holding a new contract hostage

198
00:18:53,373 --> 00:18:54,107
on the premise that

199
00:18:54,107 --> 00:18:57,107
firefighters must agree to have

200
00:18:58,110 --> 00:18:58,745
this benefit stripped.

201
00:18:58,745 --> 00:18:59,446
This cost the city nothing.

202
00:18:59,446 --> 00:19:00,113
It already exists in our mou.

203
00:19:00,113 --> 00:19:03,113
We're no more important than

204
00:19:03,951 --> 00:19:04,551
other city employees but

205
00:19:04,551 --> 00:19:04,918
sometimes our needs are

206
00:19:04,918 --> 00:19:05,619
different.

207
00:19:05,619 --> 00:19:06,353
We should be allowed to pursue

208
00:19:06,353 --> 00:19:06,986
our needs just as other groups.

209
00:19:06,986 --> 00:19:09,590
We're not here to ask for

210
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:10,890
anything more than what you've

211
00:19:10,890 --> 00:19:10,757
already approved.

212
00:19:10,757 --> 00:19:11,425
We respectfully request you

213
00:19:11,425 --> 00:19:12,125
preserve the status quo with

214
00:19:12,125 --> 00:19:14,525
regard to firefighter medical

215
00:19:15,662 --> 00:19:16,329
plan options Do not strike this

216
00:19:16,329 --> 00:19:16,930
language from our contract.

217
00:19:16,930 --> 00:19:17,297
>> Thank you very much.

218
00:19:17,297 --> 00:19:17,898
Thank you.

219
00:19:17,898 --> 00:19:20,298
That does include public

220
00:19:21,301 --> 00:19:22,100
comment here in council

221
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:22,669
chambers have started the five

222
00:19:22,669 --> 00:19:23,270
minute timer going to those

223
00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:25,270
participating remotely.

224
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:27,307
We currently have five people

225
00:19:27,307 --> 00:19:27,974
in the queue.

226
00:19:27,974 --> 00:19:28,675
When I unmute you please be

227
00:19:28,675 --> 00:19:32,875
sure to let me know which item

228
00:19:34,181 --> 00:19:34,882
or items you wish to speak to.

229
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:35,315
>> Blair Beckman if you can

230
00:19:35,315 --> 00:19:37,315
please on you.

231
00:19:38,886 --> 00:19:39,286
All right, we're going to

232
00:19:39,286 --> 00:19:39,820
please you.

233
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:40,420
>> Please proceed.

234
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:40,787
You'll have one minute.

235
00:19:40,787 --> 00:19:42,787
Thank you.

236
00:19:44,324 --> 00:19:45,250
We're really nice public

237
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:47,425
comment previously Thank you.

238
00:19:50,264 --> 00:19:50,997
I think it's worth debating,

239
00:19:50,997 --> 00:19:51,598
you know the future of benefits

240
00:19:51,598 --> 00:19:53,998
for San Diego employees.

241
00:19:56,269 --> 00:19:56,769
I've been learning really

242
00:19:56,769 --> 00:19:57,337
important lessons.

243
00:19:57,337 --> 00:19:57,905
We don't cut benefits.

244
00:19:57,905 --> 00:19:58,272
I think that's really

245
00:19:58,272 --> 00:20:00,272
important.

246
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:03,644
Oakland is trying to do

247
00:20:03,644 --> 00:20:04,377
the same thing because you know

248
00:20:04,377 --> 00:20:04,978
there are serious budget issues

249
00:20:04,978 --> 00:20:07,378
they have They're doing

250
00:20:08,247 --> 00:20:08,816
the same thing the same thing

251
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:09,550
to their city workers.

252
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:09,850
I think it's a really wrong way

253
00:20:09,850 --> 00:20:11,850
to go.

254
00:20:14,554 --> 00:20:15,222
I really ask yourselves again

255
00:20:15,222 --> 00:20:18,822
to consider the idea of our

256
00:20:19,493 --> 00:20:20,160
city workers taking a 25 to $50

257
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,760
pay cut a month That's like

258
00:20:24,531 --> 00:20:25,199
$600 a year And that actually

259
00:20:25,199 --> 00:20:25,832
brings a budget savings of

260
00:20:25,832 --> 00:20:26,666
close to 1 or $2 million.

261
00:20:26,666 --> 00:20:29,666
Can you please consider that

262
00:20:31,205 --> 00:20:31,905
option and keep our benefits?

263
00:20:31,905 --> 00:20:32,272
I think benefits are vitally

264
00:20:32,272 --> 00:20:33,400
important.

265
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,640
Good luck to consider such an

266
00:20:37,377 --> 00:20:37,845
option for a future.

267
00:20:37,845 --> 00:20:38,579
>> Thank you.

268
00:20:38,579 --> 00:20:39,279
Thank you Million Mile Man If

269
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:42,849
you can please unmute and let

270
00:20:42,849 --> 00:20:43,350
me know which item or items you

271
00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:43,951
wish to speak to.

272
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:46,351
>> Are you on public?

273
00:20:48,388 --> 00:20:48,722
No we're on closed session

274
00:20:48,722 --> 00:20:49,456
agenda.

275
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:53,560
>> Okay well then I would like

276
00:20:54,828 --> 00:20:55,528
to weigh in on what I just

277
00:20:55,528 --> 00:20:56,229
heard from You'll have one

278
00:20:56,229 --> 00:20:59,829
minute to speak on the agenda

279
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:02,690
on the firefighter.

280
00:21:02,690 --> 00:21:05,669
Look, you know, it doesn't take

281
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,400
a lot of intelligence to

282
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:07,674
understand that you give

283
00:21:07,674 --> 00:21:07,975
the firefighters what they

284
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:09,975
want.

285
00:21:12,546 --> 00:21:13,146
I mean, look at not only have

286
00:21:13,146 --> 00:21:16,146
they paid their dues and

287
00:21:17,951 --> 00:21:18,752
society, not only have they

288
00:21:18,752 --> 00:21:22,352
paid their dues too to humanity

289
00:21:24,291 --> 00:21:24,892
but they are deserving of of

290
00:21:24,892 --> 00:21:25,659
what they want, period.

291
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:26,930
And it doesn't take much to

292
00:21:26,930 --> 00:21:28,930
understand it.

293
00:21:30,197 --> 00:21:30,997
This is all about common sense

294
00:21:30,997 --> 00:21:35,197
and that's all I have to say.

295
00:21:36,736 --> 00:21:37,404
But GOD bless all of those

296
00:21:37,404 --> 00:21:41,400
fellows that work in the San

297
00:21:42,409 --> 00:21:43,143
Diego rescue and lifeguarding

298
00:21:43,143 --> 00:21:44,440
and police and public safety.

299
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,644
My GOD they can you imagine

300
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:49,716
doing their job?

301
00:21:49,716 --> 00:21:50,384
i mean I can't imagine and I'll

302
00:21:50,384 --> 00:21:53,384
probably need them one day.

303
00:21:54,721 --> 00:21:55,589
So I hope not.

304
00:21:55,589 --> 00:21:59,789
But anyway, if you can hear me,

305
00:22:00,326 --> 00:22:00,627
MR. Connor man keep up the good

306
00:22:00,627 --> 00:22:01,295
work.

307
00:22:01,295 --> 00:22:01,695
>> I've got your back.

308
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:02,620
Thank you.

309
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:02,830
Thank you.

310
00:22:02,830 --> 00:22:07,300
Next to the original if you can

311
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:08,469
please on mute and let me know

312
00:22:08,469 --> 00:22:08,836
which item or items you wish to

313
00:22:08,836 --> 00:22:09,803
speak to.

314
00:22:09,803 --> 00:22:12,272
I'm going to tap on all of it.

315
00:22:12,272 --> 00:22:12,773
You'll have three minutes.

316
00:22:12,773 --> 00:22:13,507
>> Please proceed.

317
00:22:13,507 --> 00:22:14,174
I really appreciate when people

318
00:22:14,174 --> 00:22:17,477
come in and give you their

319
00:22:17,477 --> 00:22:18,145
insight on what's really going

320
00:22:18,145 --> 00:22:18,846
on with these contracts and

321
00:22:18,846 --> 00:22:19,546
the fact that there's many of

322
00:22:19,546 --> 00:22:22,546
these employees that have been

323
00:22:23,249 --> 00:22:23,984
working uncontracted waiting

324
00:22:23,984 --> 00:22:27,584
to, you know, get things back

325
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:30,224
over center.

326
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:30,924
It's a little bit sad to think

327
00:22:30,924 --> 00:22:31,692
that, you know, that could be

328
00:22:31,692 --> 00:22:35,728
abused in such a way to have

329
00:22:35,728 --> 00:22:36,430
their benefits taken kind of

330
00:22:36,430 --> 00:22:40,300
force them to sign a contract

331
00:22:41,702 --> 00:22:42,503
which in that that would be

332
00:22:42,503 --> 00:22:43,169
null and void because you can't

333
00:22:43,169 --> 00:22:43,937
be forced to sign something.

334
00:22:43,937 --> 00:22:47,241
But you know, as we're talking

335
00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:47,975
about labor negotiations, it's

336
00:22:47,975 --> 00:22:48,542
a little bit interesting to see

337
00:22:48,542 --> 00:22:49,208
what's happening with

338
00:22:49,208 --> 00:22:49,809
the litigation with that and

339
00:22:49,809 --> 00:22:52,809
where you're going to be

340
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:54,281
bringing in you know,

341
00:22:54,281 --> 00:22:56,281
discussing labor negotiations

342
00:22:58,719 --> 00:22:59,586
And when we have issues like

343
00:22:59,586 --> 00:23:00,321
this going on and for such a

344
00:23:00,321 --> 00:23:02,321
significant importance position

345
00:23:05,292 --> 00:23:05,993
because these guys do work that

346
00:23:05,993 --> 00:23:06,660
you know most people won't do

347
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:10,860
but we need them And I feel

348
00:23:11,650 --> 00:23:11,666
like they get treated kind of

349
00:23:11,666 --> 00:23:12,366
you know, like they get

350
00:23:12,366 --> 00:23:14,766
the leftovers Whatever's left

351
00:23:17,437 --> 00:23:18,138
over after you know, you give

352
00:23:18,138 --> 00:23:18,839
all your employees in the city

353
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:22,439
that are working with you guys

354
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:23,443
all of their money, all of

355
00:23:23,443 --> 00:23:24,178
their benefits And then we have

356
00:23:24,178 --> 00:23:28,378
people that are on the job that

357
00:23:28,982 --> 00:23:29,683
are physically exerting a lot

358
00:23:29,683 --> 00:23:30,351
of energy and potentially, you

359
00:23:30,351 --> 00:23:32,751
know, getting injuries that

360
00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:35,220
nobody else that worked in

361
00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:35,622
the city are going to get And

362
00:23:35,622 --> 00:23:36,256
then we're cutting their

363
00:23:36,256 --> 00:23:36,790
benefits like they should

364
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:38,790
actually have more.

365
00:23:40,694 --> 00:23:41,362
And if you do have to take from

366
00:23:41,362 --> 00:23:42,290
some of those employees that

367
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:45,290
have been getting, you know,

368
00:23:46,867 --> 00:23:47,534
these significant pay raises

369
00:23:47,534 --> 00:23:48,167
that potentially, you know,

370
00:23:48,167 --> 00:23:48,836
work for the mayor or your

371
00:23:48,836 --> 00:23:52,436
guys's staff, I mean I think

372
00:23:52,706 --> 00:23:53,374
that these people deserve

373
00:23:53,374 --> 00:23:54,740
benefits over that pay raise

374
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:54,808
that those people are getting.

375
00:23:54,808 --> 00:23:58,110
So if we have to make some hard

376
00:23:58,110 --> 00:23:58,345
choices, that's what needs to

377
00:23:58,345 --> 00:23:59,113
be done.

378
00:23:59,113 --> 00:23:59,780
And so I hope you guys do

379
00:23:59,780 --> 00:24:00,481
the right thing because you

380
00:24:00,481 --> 00:24:04,810
know, when they when you need

381
00:24:05,218 --> 00:24:05,886
them you're not going to want

382
00:24:05,886 --> 00:24:06,553
to, you know, have made a

383
00:24:06,553 --> 00:24:06,954
mistake for over a minute on

384
00:24:06,954 --> 00:24:08,954
that topic.

385
00:24:10,124 --> 00:24:10,824
On to another item There's two

386
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:13,824
labor negotiation or one about

387
00:24:15,262 --> 00:24:15,896
fire and lifeguards and one

388
00:24:15,896 --> 00:24:16,529
about labor negotiations.

389
00:24:16,529 --> 00:24:16,830
So there's two of them in

390
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:17,263
there.

391
00:24:17,263 --> 00:24:19,263
So thank you.

392
00:24:20,467 --> 00:24:21,201
But I'm going to keep going And

393
00:24:21,201 --> 00:24:25,401
for the other two with the trip

394
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,906
and fall in the bike accident

395
00:24:26,906 --> 00:24:27,607
you guys need to you're with

396
00:24:27,607 --> 00:24:31,207
the way that you were telling

397
00:24:32,246 --> 00:24:32,880
us on the regular agenda how

398
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,581
much the settlements are.

399
00:24:33,581 --> 00:24:34,114
It's no longer visible in just

400
00:24:34,114 --> 00:24:36,114
the itemized items.

401
00:24:37,885 --> 00:24:38,551
i think you guys need to bring

402
00:24:38,551 --> 00:24:39,186
that back so it can be

403
00:24:39,186 --> 00:24:39,920
transparent just right off

404
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,991
the bat without having to go in

405
00:24:43,991 --> 00:24:44,324
search for the amount of money

406
00:24:44,324 --> 00:24:45,159
.

407
00:24:45,159 --> 00:24:45,892
And I think you guys need to do

408
00:24:45,892 --> 00:24:49,492
some kind of tally where you're

409
00:24:49,696 --> 00:24:50,597
saying this this year or this

410
00:24:50,597 --> 00:24:51,298
And all time we have spent on

411
00:24:51,298 --> 00:24:54,298
litigation for trip and falls

412
00:24:55,436 --> 00:24:56,203
for bike accidents for whatever

413
00:24:56,203 --> 00:24:56,871
and then show that you have

414
00:24:56,871 --> 00:24:57,537
gone into those areas where

415
00:24:57,537 --> 00:24:59,937
those accidents occurred and

416
00:25:01,742 --> 00:25:02,510
that has been mitigated and how

417
00:25:02,510 --> 00:25:06,710
much it cost to do that and

418
00:25:07,414 --> 00:25:08,215
what the cost benefit ratio is

419
00:25:08,215 --> 00:25:08,950
of you know the litigation and

420
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:09,649
we're just fixing the roads and

421
00:25:09,649 --> 00:25:13,249
making sure that this kind of

422
00:25:13,787 --> 00:25:14,522
stuff doesn't happen on a

423
00:25:14,522 --> 00:25:16,922
continual revolving door basis.

424
00:25:19,426 --> 00:25:20,126
>> Our next week is 8700 if you

425
00:25:20,126 --> 00:25:20,794
can please I'm you and let me

426
00:25:20,794 --> 00:25:22,929
know which item or items you

427
00:25:22,929 --> 00:25:23,564
wish to speak to.

428
00:25:23,564 --> 00:25:24,130
The five minute timer also

429
00:25:24,130 --> 00:25:24,732
concluded we have one

430
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:25,332
additional speaker after

431
00:25:25,332 --> 00:25:26,366
the speaker and no other

432
00:25:26,366 --> 00:25:27,234
speakers will be taken.

433
00:25:27,234 --> 00:25:27,735
>> Please let me know which

434
00:25:27,735 --> 00:25:29,735
items and proceed.

435
00:25:32,806 --> 00:25:33,606
Yes.

436
00:25:33,606 --> 00:25:34,141
>> One, two and three You'll

437
00:25:34,141 --> 00:25:36,141
have three minutes.

438
00:25:39,713 --> 00:25:40,381
Please proceed.

439
00:25:40,381 --> 00:25:41,810
Thank you, Julius And to

440
00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:44,810
welcome back everybody on c.

441
00:25:44,952 --> 00:25:45,619
S one which is another trip and

442
00:25:45,619 --> 00:25:49,219
fall I came up with this

443
00:25:50,991 --> 00:25:51,692
thinking on the agenda and

444
00:25:51,692 --> 00:25:54,692
feeling involved to then you

445
00:25:56,597 --> 00:25:57,364
Who is the one suing the city

446
00:25:57,364 --> 00:26:00,964
is a metaphor as all these

447
00:26:02,670 --> 00:26:03,236
people are that they have these

448
00:26:03,236 --> 00:26:03,671
suits against the city

449
00:26:03,671 --> 00:26:05,671
entrepreneurs.

450
00:26:08,309 --> 00:26:08,942
You're really a metaphor for

451
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:09,576
this city is tripping and

452
00:26:09,576 --> 00:26:11,976
falling and tripping and

453
00:26:13,814 --> 00:26:14,482
falling on a public system for

454
00:26:14,482 --> 00:26:16,882
sidewalk maintenance and of

455
00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:19,653
course many, many other things

456
00:26:19,653 --> 00:26:20,487
.

457
00:26:20,487 --> 00:26:21,155
So I think it's a powerful way

458
00:26:21,155 --> 00:26:25,355
to look at this and to know

459
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,594
that we're doing our best, that

460
00:26:26,594 --> 00:26:27,327
we are improving Regarding

461
00:26:27,327 --> 00:26:30,327
the sidewalks, that's for sure.

462
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:34,100
I like this metaphor and it's

463
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:34,635
just continuing and we need to

464
00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:37,635
just keep on top of

465
00:26:38,806 --> 00:26:39,373
the discussion We can see as to

466
00:26:39,373 --> 00:26:40,740
I'm not quite clear on

467
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:43,740
the details of this item's

468
00:26:43,644 --> 00:26:44,378
purpose here and the speakers

469
00:26:44,378 --> 00:26:47,378
speak some very powerful words.

470
00:26:49,884 --> 00:26:50,584
I really respect and honor our

471
00:26:50,584 --> 00:26:51,850
and we'll use the memorandums

472
00:26:51,850 --> 00:26:53,850
of understanding.

473
00:26:55,156 --> 00:26:56,220
I think they're very powerful

474
00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:56,723
For some reason I really put my

475
00:26:56,723 --> 00:27:00,323
arms around the animal use and

476
00:27:01,262 --> 00:27:02,290
embrace them as a very positive

477
00:27:02,290 --> 00:27:02,529
support system for all of our

478
00:27:02,529 --> 00:27:04,529
beloved employees.

479
00:27:07,167 --> 00:27:07,868
And I do notice as I go out and

480
00:27:07,868 --> 00:27:12,680
about in the world that I can

481
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,541
feel the tension in

482
00:27:13,541 --> 00:27:14,242
the employees as we go through

483
00:27:14,242 --> 00:27:17,242
these uncertain times and how

484
00:27:18,746 --> 00:27:19,613
we're having to meet them.

485
00:27:19,613 --> 00:27:23,813
So I love that there are so

486
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,654
many names on that code section

487
00:27:26,654 --> 00:27:27,287
but there's just so many people

488
00:27:27,287 --> 00:27:27,955
that have the back of our

489
00:27:27,955 --> 00:27:30,955
employees and all the labor

490
00:27:31,191 --> 00:27:32,590
association.

491
00:27:32,590 --> 00:27:32,793
So if we're going to do it and

492
00:27:32,793 --> 00:27:33,360
just go with your employees, we

493
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,360
love you firefighters,

494
00:27:36,964 --> 00:27:37,330
lifeguards please everybody we

495
00:27:37,330 --> 00:27:39,330
love you.

496
00:27:42,690 --> 00:27:42,370
Keep at it On Fire Street.

497
00:27:42,370 --> 00:27:43,360
Okay.

498
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,360
Lifeguard service provision

499
00:27:47,742 --> 00:27:50,742
policy 2.9 Night crew I look

500
00:27:51,812 --> 00:27:52,579
like I read you the policy 2.9

501
00:27:52,579 --> 00:27:56,179
It does involve an animal you

502
00:27:57,951 --> 00:27:58,386
and excuse me I'm sitting on a

503
00:27:58,386 --> 00:27:59,320
sidewalk here.

504
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,120
It's a long story but to me my

505
00:28:04,425 --> 00:28:04,759
crew work is still very

506
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:05,593
crucial.

507
00:28:05,593 --> 00:28:09,793
It is a very strong policy and

508
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:10,797
an mou which I think it has.

509
00:28:10,797 --> 00:28:11,732
Maybe it needs improvement.

510
00:28:11,732 --> 00:28:15,536
I also see us doing much better

511
00:28:15,536 --> 00:28:16,303
in honoring the needs of our

512
00:28:16,303 --> 00:28:19,903
excuse me of our valued and

513
00:28:21,976 --> 00:28:22,743
appreciated the lifeguards.

514
00:28:22,743 --> 00:28:23,277
We're really making progress

515
00:28:23,277 --> 00:28:25,277
with our lifeguards.

516
00:28:28,215 --> 00:28:29,830
I really feel good about it So

517
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:29,550
if I keep at it it's going to

518
00:28:29,550 --> 00:28:29,950
be a great week.

519
00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:31,950
You're back.

520
00:28:33,621 --> 00:28:34,287
I hope you had a wonderful

521
00:28:34,287 --> 00:28:34,989
summer and I look forward to

522
00:28:34,989 --> 00:28:37,389
participating and hearing what

523
00:28:39,126 --> 00:28:39,626
you're sharing and sort of to

524
00:28:39,626 --> 00:28:40,327
all Thank you.

525
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:41,950
Krypto Bradley if you can

526
00:28:41,950 --> 00:28:44,695
please unmute and let me know

527
00:28:47,601 --> 00:28:47,968
which item or items you wish to

528
00:28:47,968 --> 00:28:48,669
speak to.

529
00:28:48,669 --> 00:28:51,669
>> Thanks one and two please.

530
00:28:51,706 --> 00:28:52,373
This is Hector a I'd say on a

531
00:28:52,373 --> 00:28:55,973
good note the slip and fall

532
00:28:57,211 --> 00:28:57,979
that go into the airport Now

533
00:28:57,979 --> 00:28:58,646
what's great I dropped off my

534
00:28:58,646 --> 00:29:01,460
girlfriend at Southwest It's

535
00:29:03,183 --> 00:29:03,484
amazing how it works Really

536
00:29:03,484 --> 00:29:04,218
good.

537
00:29:04,218 --> 00:29:04,651
And then the slip and fall down

538
00:29:04,651 --> 00:29:06,651
at the island.

539
00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:09,889
The crosswalk that goes in

540
00:29:09,889 --> 00:29:10,457
there.

541
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:11,580
I didn't get it done.

542
00:29:11,580 --> 00:29:13,458
That's like a dangerous

543
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:15,696
situation And there's there's

544
00:29:15,696 --> 00:29:16,364
only one line left to

545
00:29:16,364 --> 00:29:16,997
the crosswalk and I've been

546
00:29:16,997 --> 00:29:19,997
going down there a lot

547
00:29:21,535 --> 00:29:22,202
different and it's gave me 543

548
00:29:22,202 --> 00:29:25,202
days that they're going to

549
00:29:27,407 --> 00:29:28,342
paint the crosswalk.

550
00:29:28,342 --> 00:29:33,142
So if we get it done that takes

551
00:29:33,915 --> 00:29:34,682
531 days out of you.

552
00:29:34,682 --> 00:29:35,383
Just give us some paint at

553
00:29:35,383 --> 00:29:35,683
ourselves, you know, to speed

554
00:29:35,683 --> 00:29:37,683
it up.

555
00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:40,321
So because that could be a big

556
00:29:40,321 --> 00:29:41,220
time loss you could get a lot

557
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:44,220
of traffic and people walking

558
00:29:45,192 --> 00:29:45,892
around on bikes and cars and

559
00:29:45,892 --> 00:29:49,492
the fire department you got to

560
00:29:50,498 --> 00:29:51,165
give them what they want.

561
00:29:51,165 --> 00:29:51,866
The attorneys are making all

562
00:29:51,866 --> 00:29:55,466
the money, maybe only have one

563
00:29:57,170 --> 00:29:57,838
city attorney on the job

564
00:29:57,838 --> 00:29:58,205
because that's what lawsuits

565
00:29:58,205 --> 00:29:58,906
are like.

566
00:29:58,906 --> 00:29:59,607
The attorneys, all those guys

567
00:29:59,607 --> 00:30:03,143
in the back, the attorneys or

568
00:30:03,143 --> 00:30:03,744
the fire, they could be getting

569
00:30:03,744 --> 00:30:06,144
paid by somebody anyway.

570
00:30:09,283 --> 00:30:09,950
That's just like any lawsuit.

571
00:30:09,950 --> 00:30:10,651
The attorneys are raking in

572
00:30:10,651 --> 00:30:11,485
the money to pay them and they

573
00:30:11,485 --> 00:30:14,121
put up warning signs that you

574
00:30:14,121 --> 00:30:14,789
want to river during the flood.

575
00:30:14,789 --> 00:30:18,389
It's going to be a massive

576
00:30:21,295 --> 00:30:21,896
health care disaster when

577
00:30:21,896 --> 00:30:22,263
the floods come and hit

578
00:30:22,263 --> 00:30:22,896
the water.

579
00:30:22,896 --> 00:30:25,896
Don't order any firemen or

588
00:30:39,413 --> 00:30:40,147

Thank you.

755
00:50:23,609 --> 00:50:25,609
Council PRESIDENT Council

756
00:50:26,913 --> 00:50:27,480
members So this item is

757
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:28,470
the city's 20th Annual

758
00:50:28,470 --> 00:50:28,448
Statement of Budgetary

759
00:50:28,448 --> 00:50:30,448
Principles.

760
00:50:32,251 --> 00:50:32,952
The documents that staff will

761
00:50:32,952 --> 00:50:33,686
be going over are essentially

762
00:50:33,686 --> 00:50:34,187
an agreed upon set of reporting

763
00:50:34,187 --> 00:50:36,187
and communication

764
00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:38,725
responsibilities for both this

765
00:50:38,725 --> 00:50:41,125
Council and administration as

766
00:50:42,610 --> 00:50:42,461
it actually implement the fy

767
00:50:42,461 --> 00:50:43,262
2027 budget.

768
00:50:43,262 --> 00:50:43,930
So the best practice to ensure

769
00:50:43,930 --> 00:50:46,330
that both the administration

770
00:50:48,367 --> 00:50:49,101
and the Council agree on

771
00:50:49,101 --> 00:50:49,769
the communication and roles and

772
00:50:49,769 --> 00:50:50,503
responsibilities associated

773
00:50:50,503 --> 00:50:53,406
with the budget that are before

774
00:50:53,406 --> 00:50:54,140
each of those bodies.

775
00:50:54,140 --> 00:50:54,807
Sergio I'll call the on my

776
00:50:54,807 --> 00:50:57,807
staff will walk you through

777
00:50:57,877 --> 00:50:58,678
the actual statement itself.

778
00:50:58,678 --> 00:50:59,245
I would just note at the outset

779
00:50:59,245 --> 00:50:59,946
that this statement of

780
00:50:59,946 --> 00:51:01,946
principles essentially covers

781
00:51:03,383 --> 00:51:04,117
everything that you saw in

782
00:51:04,117 --> 00:51:05,510
the prior statement for fy 2026

783
00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:08,554
with one addition and that is a

784
00:51:08,554 --> 00:51:09,255
requirement of

785
00:51:09,255 --> 00:51:09,988
the administration to provide

786
00:51:09,988 --> 00:51:10,657
an annual update to the Council

787
00:51:10,657 --> 00:51:13,570
on Settlements and Judgment

788
00:51:13,859 --> 00:51:14,226
payments that the city makes

789
00:51:14,226 --> 00:51:14,994
each year.

790
00:51:14,994 --> 00:51:17,563
With that I'll kick it over to

791
00:51:17,563 --> 00:51:18,230
Sergio and his presentation

792
00:51:18,230 --> 00:51:18,765
will take about six minutes.

793
00:51:18,765 --> 00:51:19,465
>> Thanks, Charles.

794
00:51:19,465 --> 00:51:22,235
I'm sorry I'll call the office

795
00:51:22,235 --> 00:51:25,835
of the aba On JUNE 30th 2026

796
00:51:26,306 --> 00:51:26,906
Our office released Iberia

797
00:51:26,906 --> 00:51:27,573
Report 26 Dash 18 which

798
00:51:27,573 --> 00:51:29,973
includes the proposed fiscal

799
00:51:30,810 --> 00:51:31,443
year 2027 Statement of

800
00:51:31,443 --> 00:51:32,780
Budgetary Principles Since

801
00:51:32,780 --> 00:51:32,679
the Statement of Budgetary

802
00:51:32,679 --> 00:51:35,790
Principles is an annual

803
00:51:35,815 --> 00:51:36,482
agreement between Council and

804
00:51:36,482 --> 00:51:37,500
the Mayor our office obtain

805
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:37,716
review and input from

806
00:51:37,716 --> 00:51:40,653
the Department of Finance as

807
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:40,987
well as the City Attorney's

808
00:51:40,987 --> 00:51:41,520
Office.

809
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:41,955
We appreciate their

810
00:51:41,955 --> 00:51:42,622
collaboration.

811
00:51:42,622 --> 00:51:45,622
We're asking the Council to

812
00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:46,793
review and adopt the principles

813
00:51:46,793 --> 00:51:49,193
with any desired modifications.

814
00:51:50,730 --> 00:51:51,364
By way of background,

815
00:51:51,364 --> 00:51:51,965
the Statement of Budgetary

816
00:51:51,965 --> 00:51:52,664
Principles represents an

817
00:51:52,664 --> 00:51:55,640
agreement between Council and

818
00:51:56,101 --> 00:51:56,501
the Mayor for administration of

819
00:51:56,501 --> 00:51:57,700
the budget.

820
00:51:57,700 --> 00:51:57,703
It clarifies budgetary

821
00:51:57,703 --> 00:51:59,703
authority and facilitates

822
00:52:01,140 --> 00:52:01,540
communication regarding

823
00:52:01,540 --> 00:52:02,208
the budget.

824
00:52:02,208 --> 00:52:02,875
The need for the principles

825
00:52:02,875 --> 00:52:05,875
came with the transition to

826
00:52:05,879 --> 00:52:06,412
the strong mayor strong council

827
00:52:06,412 --> 00:52:07,247
form of government.

828
00:52:07,247 --> 00:52:10,717
At the time there was a lack of

829
00:52:10,717 --> 00:52:11,417
clarity between the executive

830
00:52:11,417 --> 00:52:12,510
and legislative branches about

831
00:52:12,510 --> 00:52:12,685
budget administration and

832
00:52:12,685 --> 00:52:15,850
handling of related fiscal

833
00:52:15,755 --> 00:52:16,421
matters.

834
00:52:16,421 --> 00:52:18,821
The statement of budgetary

835
00:52:20,193 --> 00:52:20,993
principles was put into place

836
00:52:20,993 --> 00:52:23,993
in fiscal year 2008 as an

837
00:52:24,970 --> 00:52:24,697
accompanying resolution to

838
00:52:24,697 --> 00:52:25,365
the fiscal year 2000.

839
00:52:25,365 --> 00:52:26,320
The appropriation ordinance

840
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,200
since then has been adopted

841
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:29,669
each year and we recommend it

842
00:52:29,669 --> 00:52:29,969
to continue for fiscal year

843
00:52:29,969 --> 00:52:31,969
2027.

844
00:52:33,873 --> 00:52:34,607
The proposed principles were

845
00:52:34,607 --> 00:52:38,207
heard on the JULY 8th Budgeting

846
00:52:38,344 --> 00:52:39,780
Government official commit

847
00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:39,779
Government Efficiency Committee

848
00:52:39,779 --> 00:52:40,346
which forwarded it to council

849
00:52:40,346 --> 00:52:42,346
without any additional

850
00:52:43,883 --> 00:52:45,883
adjustments.

851
00:52:47,820 --> 00:52:48,454
The principles can be broken

852
00:52:48,454 --> 00:52:49,880
down into three sections.

853
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,488
First the communication on

854
00:52:52,525 --> 00:52:53,493
budget programs services.

855
00:52:53,493 --> 00:52:56,493
The second is the Appropriation

856
00:52:56,796 --> 00:52:57,597
ordinance.

857
00:52:57,597 --> 00:52:58,331
And third is the principles for

858
00:52:58,331 --> 00:53:00,731
an effective, collaborative and

859
00:53:01,333 --> 00:53:01,668
transparent city budget

860
00:53:01,668 --> 00:53:02,368
process.

861
00:53:02,368 --> 00:53:03,200
I will provide highlights for

862
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,402
these functions for these

863
00:53:06,573 --> 00:53:07,600
sections later in this

864
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:07,707
presentation.

865
00:53:07,707 --> 00:53:10,107
The proposed fiscal year 2027

866
00:53:11,845 --> 00:53:12,612
principles largely mirrored

867
00:53:12,612 --> 00:53:13,279
those of fiscal year 2026 with

868
00:53:13,279 --> 00:53:15,679
most revisions consisting of

869
00:53:16,149 --> 00:53:16,549
updated dates and technical

870
00:53:16,549 --> 00:53:17,417
adjustments.

871
00:53:17,417 --> 00:53:18,170
I do want to note that there is

872
00:53:18,170 --> 00:53:20,170
one proposed substantive

873
00:53:21,870 --> 00:53:21,688
judgment which is a requirement

874
00:53:21,688 --> 00:53:22,322
for an annual update on

875
00:53:22,322 --> 00:53:22,989
the city's settlement and

876
00:53:22,989 --> 00:53:24,989
judgment payments including

877
00:53:26,225 --> 00:53:26,859
related expenses and claim

878
00:53:26,859 --> 00:53:27,259
information for the police

879
00:53:27,259 --> 00:53:29,259
department.

880
00:53:30,430 --> 00:53:31,130
This adjustment stems from a

881
00:53:31,130 --> 00:53:31,731
request that came out of

882
00:53:31,731 --> 00:53:32,465
the JUNE 17th Budget and

883
00:53:32,465 --> 00:53:34,465
Government Efficiency Committee

884
00:53:35,735 --> 00:53:37,735
meeting.

885
00:53:39,572 --> 00:53:40,173
>> Moving on to the three

886
00:53:40,173 --> 00:53:40,873
sections of the proposed

887
00:53:40,873 --> 00:53:43,273
principles the first outlines

888
00:53:44,777 --> 00:53:45,445
how communications should occur

889
00:53:45,445 --> 00:53:45,878
regarding budget to programs

890
00:53:45,878 --> 00:53:47,878
and services.

891
00:53:49,816 --> 00:53:50,517
The principles require

892
00:53:50,517 --> 00:53:51,183
the mayor to provide quarterly

893
00:53:51,183 --> 00:53:51,885
reports to the council which

894
00:53:51,885 --> 00:53:54,885
are done through the quarterly

895
00:53:54,987 --> 00:53:55,722
budget monitoring reports.

896
00:53:55,722 --> 00:53:56,289
The mid-year budget process is

897
00:53:56,289 --> 00:53:58,689
also included in this

898
00:54:00,326 --> 00:54:00,960
requirement under which

899
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,594
the Mayor MAY recommend to

900
00:54:01,594 --> 00:54:02,261
council how to budget any

901
00:54:02,261 --> 00:54:04,663
projected surplus or how to

902
00:54:04,663 --> 00:54:05,431
adjust any projected deficit.

903
00:54:05,431 --> 00:54:09,310
For the third bullet the mayor

904
00:54:09,136 --> 00:54:09,869
must provide written notice to

905
00:54:09,869 --> 00:54:12,269
council before implementing any

906
00:54:13,873 --> 00:54:14,540
significant reduction or delay

907
00:54:14,540 --> 00:54:15,141
to a funded program.

908
00:54:15,141 --> 00:54:17,541
This written notice must

909
00:54:18,845 --> 00:54:19,512
include justification and a

910
00:54:19,512 --> 00:54:20,180
description of service level

911
00:54:20,180 --> 00:54:22,180
impacts including potential

912
00:54:23,917 --> 00:54:24,517
unintended consequences that

913
00:54:24,517 --> 00:54:25,185
create disproportionate

914
00:54:25,185 --> 00:54:25,518
inequity for communities of

915
00:54:25,518 --> 00:54:27,518
concern.

916
00:54:28,821 --> 00:54:29,489
We emphasize the importance of

917
00:54:29,489 --> 00:54:30,560
both clear communication and

918
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,560
making any reductions

919
00:54:33,426 --> 00:54:35,426
thoughtfully.

920
00:54:38,698 --> 00:54:39,399
>> The next section sets out a

921
00:54:39,399 --> 00:54:40,990
sets of principles for

922
00:54:40,990 --> 00:54:42,499
the Appropriation Ordinance or

923
00:54:43,702 --> 00:54:44,404
aoe The principles preserve

924
00:54:44,404 --> 00:54:45,104
the intent that the aoe is a

925
00:54:45,104 --> 00:54:47,504
document to implement adopted

926
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,140
budget and does not provide

927
00:54:48,140 --> 00:54:48,841
policy direction.

928
00:54:48,841 --> 00:54:51,841
The principles also state that

929
00:54:53,179 --> 00:54:53,846
neither the mayor nor Council

930
00:54:53,846 --> 00:54:54,514
have unilateral authority to

931
00:54:54,514 --> 00:54:57,514
make changes to the spending

932
00:54:57,517 --> 00:54:58,284
authority in the budget.

933
00:54:58,284 --> 00:55:00,284
Accordingly, Council cannot

934
00:55:01,888 --> 00:55:02,421
change the budget without first

935
00:55:02,421 --> 00:55:03,123
receiving a funding

936
00:55:03,123 --> 00:55:05,523
recommendation from the mayor.

937
00:55:07,127 --> 00:55:07,627
And finally the mayor must in

938
00:55:07,627 --> 00:55:08,194
good faith fulfill

939
00:55:08,194 --> 00:55:10,194
the legislative intent

940
00:55:12,198 --> 00:55:12,932
reflected in the budget.

941
00:55:12,932 --> 00:55:13,633
The principles further include

942
00:55:13,633 --> 00:55:14,266
Council's intent that services

943
00:55:14,266 --> 00:55:16,666
be implemented equally and

944
00:55:19,339 --> 00:55:20,390
equitably.

945
00:55:20,390 --> 00:55:20,707
>> The final section in

946
00:55:20,707 --> 00:55:23,707
the principles applies to an

947
00:55:23,910 --> 00:55:24,677
effective city budget process.

948
00:55:24,677 --> 00:55:25,378
This line lists some of

949
00:55:25,378 --> 00:55:26,120
the principles for a fiscally

950
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,120
responsible budget process

951
00:55:28,715 --> 00:55:29,416
including eliminating

952
00:55:29,416 --> 00:55:30,116
the structural budget deficit

953
00:55:30,116 --> 00:55:32,516
for pursuing service delivery

954
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:34,754
efficiencies, maintaining

955
00:55:34,754 --> 00:55:35,488
reserves and planning for

956
00:55:35,488 --> 00:55:37,488
deferred capital infrastructure

957
00:55:43,462 --> 00:55:44,130
and its maintenance.

958
00:55:44,130 --> 00:55:44,831
>> Other principles for an

959
00:55:44,831 --> 00:55:45,531
effective city budget process

960
00:55:45,531 --> 00:55:47,531
include limiting programmatic

961
00:55:48,735 --> 00:55:49,335
supplemental positions.

962
00:55:49,335 --> 00:55:49,969
The principles note that

963
00:55:49,969 --> 00:55:51,969
programmatic supplemental

964
00:55:53,707 --> 00:55:54,340
positions should only be

965
00:55:54,340 --> 00:55:55,800
requested after the fiscal

966
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,408
year's first quarter unless

967
00:55:58,411 --> 00:55:59,144
the need for these positions

968
00:55:59,144 --> 00:55:59,779
could not have been anticipated

969
00:55:59,779 --> 00:56:02,179
during the budget adoption

970
00:56:03,116 --> 00:56:03,782
process and waiting until

971
00:56:03,782 --> 00:56:04,417
the end of the first quarter

972
00:56:04,417 --> 00:56:05,850
would restrict the city's

973
00:56:05,850 --> 00:56:07,485
ability to provide critical

974
00:56:08,121 --> 00:56:08,855
services.

975
00:56:08,855 --> 00:56:09,556
Other principles include having

976
00:56:09,556 --> 00:56:11,956
council committees review key

977
00:56:13,259 --> 00:56:13,960
performance indicators or KPIs

978
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,360
and ensuring collaboration and

979
00:56:18,398 --> 00:56:18,931
carrying out council's policy

980
00:56:18,931 --> 00:56:19,532
directives including

981
00:56:19,532 --> 00:56:21,932
the Programs Council has

982
00:56:22,501 --> 00:56:23,102
included in the adopted budget

983
00:56:23,102 --> 00:56:23,670
and the city's labor

984
00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:25,670
negotiation policies.

985
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:28,740
The principals also encourage

986
00:56:28,740 --> 00:56:29,441
council members to discuss any

987
00:56:29,441 --> 00:56:31,841
proposed adjustments with our

988
00:56:32,344 --> 00:56:33,790
office before Council's final

989
00:56:33,790 --> 00:56:33,680
budget adoption meeting so that

990
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,800
we MAY provide feedback.

991
00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:38,784
As we noted earlier, there is

992
00:56:38,784 --> 00:56:39,285
one proposed substantive change

993
00:56:39,285 --> 00:56:41,285
to the principals.

994
00:56:42,155 --> 00:56:42,856
This new change would require

995
00:56:42,856 --> 00:56:43,556
the risk management department

996
00:56:43,556 --> 00:56:44,190
to give City Council an annual

997
00:56:44,190 --> 00:56:46,590
presentation on the city's

998
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:48,194
settlement and judgment

999
00:56:48,194 --> 00:56:48,895
payments including related

1000
00:56:48,895 --> 00:56:51,895
expenses and claim details for

1001
00:56:52,499 --> 00:56:53,299
the city's police department.

1002
00:56:53,299 --> 00:56:56,299
Again, this proposal reflects a

1003
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:58,671
request a request made at

1004
00:56:58,671 --> 00:56:59,339
the JUNE 17th dng Committee

1005
00:56:59,339 --> 00:56:59,906
meeting following a similar

1006
00:56:59,906 --> 00:57:01,906
presentation from risk

1007
00:57:02,541 --> 00:57:03,410
management.

1008
00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:06,410
>> What that our office is

1009
00:57:06,913 --> 00:57:07,647
requesting the Council to

1010
00:57:07,647 --> 00:57:08,348
review and approve the proposed

1011
00:57:08,348 --> 00:57:09,810
fiscal Year 2027 Statement of

1012
00:57:09,810 --> 00:57:11,481
Budgetary Principles along with

1013
00:57:11,618 --> 00:57:12,385
any desired changes.

1014
00:57:12,385 --> 00:57:13,190
Note that since this is an

1015
00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:15,419
agreement between the City

1016
00:57:16,756 --> 00:57:17,323
Council and the mayor, any

1017
00:57:17,323 --> 00:57:18,240
proposed revisions to

1018
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:18,558
the principles will be subject

1019
00:57:18,558 --> 00:57:20,558
to mayoral approval.

1020
00:57:21,761 --> 00:57:22,428
That concludes my presentation.

1021
00:57:22,428 --> 00:57:23,129
Council PRESIDENT And we're

1022
00:57:23,129 --> 00:57:23,496
happy to answer any questions.

1023
00:57:23,496 --> 00:57:25,496
All right.

1024
00:57:26,232 --> 00:57:26,900
With that thank you very much

1025
00:57:26,900 --> 00:57:27,567
with for the presentation of

1026
00:57:27,567 --> 00:57:31,167
the work to bring this item

1027
00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:31,738
forward and the work with

1028
00:57:31,738 --> 00:57:32,405
the Budget Committee.

1029
00:57:32,405 --> 00:57:35,405
With that city Clerk please

1030
00:57:35,775 --> 00:57:36,509
proceed with public comment And

1031
00:57:36,509 --> 00:57:37,760
again we'll be looking for your

1032
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,760
comments on item 200.

1033
00:57:40,613 --> 00:57:41,280
Thank you.

1034
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:41,881
Council PRESIDENT We do have

1035
00:57:41,881 --> 00:57:42,381
several speakers here in

1036
00:57:42,381 --> 00:57:42,982
council chambers.

1037
00:57:42,982 --> 00:57:45,919
We did not received any

1038
00:57:45,919 --> 00:57:46,586
organized presentation requests

1039
00:57:46,586 --> 00:57:49,989
for this item so we'll be

1040
00:57:49,989 --> 00:57:50,790
starting with Joyce Senora And

1041
00:57:50,790 --> 00:57:51,390
as noted on the agenda it is

1042
00:57:51,390 --> 00:57:53,790
two minutes per person.

1043
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,161
So Joy, if you can please come

1044
00:57:55,161 --> 00:57:55,795
forward if I can have

1045
00:57:55,795 --> 00:57:56,496
the following individuals

1046
00:57:56,496 --> 00:57:59,265
please come up to the reserved

1047
00:57:59,265 --> 00:57:59,933
seats at the front.

1048
00:57:59,933 --> 00:58:00,567
Paul Krueger, Laurie Saldana

1049
00:58:00,567 --> 00:58:02,967
and allegedly Audra please

1050
00:58:03,636 --> 00:58:04,137
proceed.

1051
00:58:04,137 --> 00:58:06,137
>> Thank you.

1052
00:58:08,740 --> 00:58:09,609
Okay.

1053
00:58:09,609 --> 00:58:13,480
The slip that I gave to our

1054
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,680
dear city clerk is one that has

1055
00:58:17,983 --> 00:58:18,318
red letters on it and it says

1056
00:58:18,318 --> 00:58:20,318
opposed.

1057
00:58:22,655 --> 00:58:23,523
And I want you to know that I

1058
00:58:23,523 --> 00:58:27,723
am a strong no on this item.

1059
00:58:31,698 --> 00:58:34,698
I am a strong no.

1060
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:36,436
>> Sergio, thank you for

1061
00:58:36,436 --> 00:58:36,803
presenting it.

1062
00:58:36,803 --> 00:58:38,803
Very good.

1063
00:58:40,774 --> 00:58:41,541
And thank you to everybody who

1064
00:58:41,541 --> 00:58:42,410
worked on it and for these

1065
00:58:42,410 --> 00:58:44,410
many, many years.

1066
00:58:45,812 --> 00:58:46,513
Thank you so much.

1067
00:58:46,513 --> 00:58:47,313
So it's a great document.

1068
00:58:47,313 --> 00:58:50,550
There's no doubt about it And

1069
00:58:50,550 --> 00:58:51,150
it's needed And I love

1070
00:58:51,150 --> 00:58:54,150
the authority part of it

1071
00:58:54,921 --> 00:58:55,622
clearing that up on

1072
00:58:55,622 --> 00:58:55,989
the executive and legislative

1073
00:58:55,989 --> 00:58:56,656
branches.

1074
00:58:56,656 --> 00:58:59,656
I love the communication and

1075
00:59:00,159 --> 00:59:00,427
the collaboration portion of

1076
00:59:00,427 --> 00:59:01,127
it.

1077
00:59:01,127 --> 00:59:04,727
I love that it's you know,

1078
00:59:05,970 --> 00:59:05,965
helps with the budget changes.

1079
00:59:05,965 --> 00:59:09,565
I like that the framework is

1080
00:59:09,869 --> 00:59:10,436
there for administering

1081
00:59:10,436 --> 00:59:12,436
the administration of

1082
00:59:13,306 --> 00:59:16,306
the budget each fiscal year.

1083
00:59:18,478 --> 00:59:19,116
Here's what I don't like.

1084
00:59:19,116 --> 00:59:21,116
>> Support a physically

1085
00:59:21,247 --> 00:59:23,247
responsible budget process.

1086
00:59:26,519 --> 00:59:27,387
>> It does not.

1087
00:59:27,387 --> 00:59:30,857
How long have we had a

1088
00:59:30,857 --> 00:59:31,725
structural budget deficit?

1089
00:59:31,725 --> 00:59:35,325
We're not addressing it and you

1090
00:59:36,261 --> 00:59:36,696
don't address it clearly in

1091
00:59:36,696 --> 00:59:38,696
this document?

1092
00:59:40,534 --> 00:59:41,201
We don't we're not supporting a

1093
00:59:41,201 --> 00:59:41,534
fiscally responsible budget

1094
00:59:41,534 --> 00:59:43,534
process.

1095
00:59:45,472 --> 00:59:46,339
Period.

1096
00:59:46,339 --> 00:59:46,806
And I don't know when we're

1097
00:59:46,806 --> 00:59:48,806
going to start.

1098
00:59:51,377 --> 00:59:51,744
We nibble at it and all we do

1099
00:59:51,744 --> 00:59:53,744
is nibble.

1100
00:59:55,215 --> 00:59:56,150
And I ask you for several years

1101
00:59:56,150 --> 00:59:56,716
to remove the word any as it

1102
00:59:56,716 --> 00:59:59,116
relates to the structural

1103
01:00:00,190 --> 01:00:00,987
budget deficit.

1104
01:00:00,987 --> 01:00:05,187
Any to me is a question any

1105
01:00:05,224 --> 01:00:05,992
structural budget deficit?

1106
01:00:05,992 --> 01:00:06,693
>> No, we have one.

1107
01:00:06,693 --> 01:00:09,930
Anyway, thanks for listening.

1108
01:00:17,837 --> 01:00:18,605
Love to all No on this item.

1109
01:00:18,605 --> 01:00:18,939
>> Uh, good afternoon, council

1110
01:00:18,939 --> 01:00:20,939
members.

1111
01:00:22,509 --> 01:00:23,176
I wanted to thank you first of

1112
01:00:23,176 --> 01:00:25,176
all especially Councilmember

1113
01:00:26,879 --> 01:00:27,580
Foster for the increased

1114
01:00:27,580 --> 01:00:28,248
scrutiny that you're going to

1115
01:00:28,248 --> 01:00:30,648
have on police settlements.

1116
01:00:32,485 --> 01:00:33,253
I think it's important that you

1117
01:00:33,253 --> 01:00:36,253
thoroughly review and try to

1118
01:00:36,856 --> 01:00:39,256
take affirmative early action

1119
01:00:42,128 --> 01:00:42,862
to understand why we're making

1120
01:00:42,862 --> 01:00:43,797
these settlements and ways that

1121
01:00:43,797 --> 01:00:47,667
we can avoid them And that goes

1122
01:00:47,667 --> 01:00:48,168
much further to all forms of

1123
01:00:48,168 --> 01:00:48,734
public liability.

1124
01:00:48,734 --> 01:00:49,436
Look at the number of

1125
01:00:49,436 --> 01:00:52,436
settlements you have on this

1126
01:00:55,842 --> 01:00:56,508
Tomorrow's budget for trip and

1127
01:00:56,508 --> 01:00:57,143
falls and flooding that are

1128
01:00:57,143 --> 01:00:59,543
totaling tens hundreds of

1129
01:00:59,779 --> 01:01:00,647
millions of dollars a year.

1130
01:01:00,647 --> 01:01:04,150
But I wanted to speak most to

1131
01:01:04,150 --> 01:01:04,818
this issue on that aspect of

1132
01:01:04,818 --> 01:01:06,818
effective collaborative and

1133
01:01:08,988 --> 01:01:09,556
transparent communication in a

1134
01:01:09,556 --> 01:01:11,956
mayor council form of

1135
01:01:13,727 --> 01:01:14,460
government as Apple clickable

1136
01:01:14,460 --> 01:01:17,460
to the city's budget process.

1137
01:01:19,199 --> 01:01:19,899
My concern or my example I

1138
01:01:19,899 --> 01:01:22,899
would give about the really

1139
01:01:24,137 --> 01:01:24,871
significant importance of this

1140
01:01:24,871 --> 01:01:25,538
is this complete breakdown that

1141
01:01:25,538 --> 01:01:29,420
we had on the restrooms in

1142
01:01:29,420 --> 01:01:29,709
mission Bay.

1143
01:01:29,709 --> 01:01:33,213
I wasn't the only one to

1144
01:01:33,213 --> 01:01:33,913
express concerns about

1145
01:01:33,913 --> 01:01:36,913
the closure of those restrooms

1146
01:01:37,684 --> 01:01:38,151
in JULY before you went on your

1147
01:01:38,151 --> 01:01:39,180
hiatus.

1148
01:01:39,180 --> 01:01:42,618
The fact that it got past

1149
01:01:42,989 --> 01:01:43,857
the budget approval process

1150
01:01:43,857 --> 01:01:47,457
when at least one of you

1151
01:01:48,662 --> 01:01:49,262
opposed the closure of those

1152
01:01:49,262 --> 01:01:49,929
restrooms and that they

1153
01:01:49,929 --> 01:01:52,329
continued closed for another

1154
01:01:53,660 --> 01:01:56,660
month in the face of

1155
01:01:57,437 --> 01:01:58,405
significant public outcry for

1156
01:01:58,405 --> 01:02:02,605
want of a better word is really

1157
01:02:02,642 --> 01:02:03,342
unacceptable.

1158
01:02:03,342 --> 01:02:04,110
That should not have happened

1159
01:02:04,110 --> 01:02:07,580
And I don't think as members of

1160
01:02:07,580 --> 01:02:08,315
the public we care what

1161
01:02:08,315 --> 01:02:11,915
the reason why they were closed

1162
01:02:12,519 --> 01:02:13,320
and more importantly why it

1163
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:14,870
took more than a month to open.

1164
01:02:14,870 --> 01:02:17,870
But nobody and I think

1165
01:02:17,758 --> 01:02:18,324
yourselves included wants to

1166
01:02:18,324 --> 01:02:18,758
see that happen again.

1167
01:02:18,758 --> 01:02:20,758
>> Thank you.

1168
01:02:22,228 --> 01:02:22,629
Thank you.

1169
01:02:22,629 --> 01:02:23,563
Hold on.

1170
01:02:23,563 --> 01:02:25,198
You and I understand you have a

1171
01:02:25,198 --> 01:02:27,598
presentation materials to share

1172
01:02:30,300 --> 01:02:30,970
for the.

1173
01:02:30,970 --> 01:02:35,170
But did you want to start with

1174
01:02:35,308 --> 01:02:36,109
the video or start speaking

1175
01:02:36,109 --> 01:02:36,909
videos for this is just images.

1176
01:02:36,909 --> 01:02:37,377
>> Oh I don't know what that

1177
01:02:37,377 --> 01:02:39,377
music came from.

1178
01:02:39,646 --> 01:02:40,547
My apologies either but I

1179
01:02:40,547 --> 01:02:44,147
wanted to start by saying that

1180
01:02:44,217 --> 01:02:44,917
in order to have these

1181
01:02:44,917 --> 01:02:47,317
budgetary principles work you

1182
01:02:48,321 --> 01:02:48,988
need to have good faith

1183
01:02:48,988 --> 01:02:51,388
negotiations with the mayor.

1184
01:02:53,326 --> 01:02:53,960
And if the mayor is in

1185
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:54,694
Sacramento negotiating on

1186
01:02:54,694 --> 01:02:58,294
issues such as exemptions for a

1187
01:02:59,650 --> 01:02:59,799
project to take place at

1188
01:02:59,799 --> 01:03:00,990
the council then has no control

1189
01:03:00,990 --> 01:03:02,990
over.

1190
01:03:03,236 --> 01:03:03,903
You are being encumbered

1191
01:03:03,903 --> 01:03:04,638
legislatively in ways that I

1192
01:03:04,638 --> 01:03:07,638
don't think are good faith

1193
01:03:08,775 --> 01:03:09,476
principles If your ability and

1194
01:03:09,476 --> 01:03:11,876
specifically I'm talking about

1195
01:03:17,651 --> 01:03:18,351
efforts by the mayor and body

1196
01:03:18,351 --> 01:03:21,351
to have exemptions to secure

1197
01:03:22,322 --> 01:03:22,989
for a major development project

1198
01:03:22,989 --> 01:03:23,690
in an area that lacks

1199
01:03:23,690 --> 01:03:23,957
the infrastructure to support

1200
01:03:23,957 --> 01:03:25,957
it.

1201
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:27,294
Go ahead to the next slide

1202
01:03:27,294 --> 01:03:27,994
please.

1203
01:03:27,994 --> 01:03:31,594
So while the mayor is supposed

1204
01:03:31,798 --> 01:03:32,566
to be communicating in good

1205
01:03:32,566 --> 01:03:33,333
faith with you, he is making it

1206
01:03:33,333 --> 01:03:36,333
impossible for you to safeguard

1207
01:03:37,370 --> 01:03:37,837
people in an area.

1208
01:03:37,837 --> 01:03:38,204
If I could have the next image.

1209
01:03:38,204 --> 01:03:40,204
Thank you.

1210
01:03:41,408 --> 01:03:42,141
That is rapidly this is an

1211
01:03:42,141 --> 01:03:42,843
image from Rotterdam is rapidly

1212
01:03:42,843 --> 01:03:45,843
sinking much like other cities

1213
01:03:46,246 --> 01:03:46,646
around the world because of sea

1214
01:03:46,646 --> 01:03:48,646
level rise.

1215
01:03:50,617 --> 01:03:51,500
And PRESIDENT Lacob, you're an

1216
01:03:51,500 --> 01:03:51,885
engineer.

1217
01:03:51,885 --> 01:03:52,552
I don't think we need to tell

1218
01:03:52,552 --> 01:03:54,952
you that saltwater intrusion

1219
01:03:55,321 --> 01:03:55,956
into structures is not a good

1220
01:03:55,956 --> 01:03:56,556
combination and the city's

1221
01:03:56,556 --> 01:03:59,556
ability to deal with it.

1222
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:01,395
Your council ability.

1223
01:04:01,395 --> 01:04:02,620
>> I'm going to I'm also

1224
01:04:02,620 --> 01:04:04,664
the council PRESIDENT And we

1225
01:04:04,664 --> 01:04:05,264
ask people to speak to

1226
01:04:05,264 --> 01:04:05,999
the budgetary principles

1227
01:04:05,999 --> 01:04:06,699
whether the language is good or

1228
01:04:06,699 --> 01:04:09,699
whether you like the addition

1229
01:04:10,404 --> 01:04:11,700
rather than veer off into other

1230
01:04:11,700 --> 01:04:11,771
conversations that might be

1231
01:04:11,771 --> 01:04:13,240
more appropriate for the next

1232
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,240
item or certainly for non

1233
01:04:18,245 --> 01:04:19,279
agenda No.

1234
01:04:19,279 --> 01:04:22,516
>> Well we'll put it back If I

1235
01:04:22,516 --> 01:04:23,216
did say it for you and one

1236
01:04:23,216 --> 01:04:23,950
reason you have the budgetary

1237
01:04:23,950 --> 01:04:26,950
principles was because you were

1238
01:04:27,587 --> 01:04:28,460
not having good communication.

1239
01:04:28,460 --> 01:04:29,122
There was a pension crisis that

1240
01:04:29,122 --> 01:04:31,522
was underfunded that wasn't

1241
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:32,659
communicated And I would say

1242
01:04:32,659 --> 01:04:33,326
that the same thing is

1243
01:04:33,326 --> 01:04:36,326
happening now where you are

1244
01:04:36,396 --> 01:04:37,640
being obligated for some

1245
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:37,764
expenses that you were not

1246
01:04:37,764 --> 01:04:41,364
privy to and that you would

1247
01:04:41,368 --> 01:04:42,202
have no control over and that

1248
01:04:42,202 --> 01:04:42,836
has to do with some development

1249
01:04:42,836 --> 01:04:44,836
projects specifically But

1250
01:04:46,540 --> 01:04:47,140
there's other things as well.

1251
01:04:47,140 --> 01:04:47,840
So if you're against

1252
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,240
the administration, the mayor

1253
01:04:52,450 --> 01:04:52,746
is going to lobby on behalf of

1254
01:04:52,746 --> 01:04:56,346
the city for a specific piece

1255
01:04:56,450 --> 01:04:57,117
of legislation or to that is an

1256
01:04:57,117 --> 01:04:59,517
encumbrance of future fiscal

1257
01:05:01,188 --> 01:05:01,888
responsibilities And it is not

1258
01:05:01,888 --> 01:05:02,589
in good faith And I don't

1259
01:05:02,589 --> 01:05:05,589
believe you're going to meet

1260
01:05:07,270 --> 01:05:07,494
the goal of of this.

1261
01:05:07,494 --> 01:05:07,894
>> Thank you.

1262
01:05:07,894 --> 01:05:08,661
Thank you.

1263
01:05:08,661 --> 01:05:09,396
I did pause of your time during

1264
01:05:09,396 --> 01:05:09,997
that So allegedly Andre, if you

1265
01:05:09,997 --> 01:05:10,697
can please come forward.

1266
01:05:10,697 --> 01:05:13,697
>> You'll have two minutes as

1267
01:05:14,334 --> 01:05:16,334
well.

1268
01:05:19,139 --> 01:05:19,840
>> I love here Enjoy Come out

1269
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:20,574
here and really start holding

1270
01:05:20,574 --> 01:05:23,574
you guys accountable because it

1271
01:05:24,100 --> 01:05:24,678
is very clear what's going on

1272
01:05:24,678 --> 01:05:25,378
And you guys's actions speak

1273
01:05:25,378 --> 01:05:28,378
louder than your empty words

1274
01:05:28,781 --> 01:05:29,549
because even if you brought

1275
01:05:29,549 --> 01:05:32,549
forward this ordinance to stop

1276
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:34,621
the things that you talk about,

1277
01:05:34,621 --> 01:05:35,388
these things are still taking

1278
01:05:35,388 --> 01:05:38,988
place and so you can't be

1279
01:05:39,426 --> 01:05:40,126
trusted that you know, even if

1280
01:05:40,126 --> 01:05:40,727
you continue to pass this that

1281
01:05:40,727 --> 01:05:43,727
it's going to stop it.

1282
01:05:43,830 --> 01:05:44,564
I mean because I think there's

1283
01:05:44,564 --> 01:05:47,564
a lack of communication between

1284
01:05:48,350 --> 01:05:48,668
you guys and the mayor And I

1285
01:05:48,668 --> 01:05:49,403
don't believe there is an

1286
01:05:49,403 --> 01:05:51,403
effective collaborative process

1287
01:05:52,906 --> 01:05:53,607
that is taking place which is

1288
01:05:53,607 --> 01:05:54,308
really unfortunate because you

1289
01:05:54,308 --> 01:05:54,741
guys need to be good stewards

1290
01:05:54,741 --> 01:05:56,741
of our money.

1291
01:05:57,943 --> 01:05:58,612
But if there's this constant

1292
01:05:58,612 --> 01:05:59,313
battle and one side's doing

1293
01:05:59,313 --> 01:06:02,313
something that the other side

1294
01:06:02,916 --> 01:06:03,582
isn't stopping, then you know

1295
01:06:03,582 --> 01:06:07,182
how how strong is that for

1296
01:06:07,754 --> 01:06:08,388
the city And what happens if

1297
01:06:08,388 --> 01:06:09,560
you guys don't pass this?

1298
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:09,856
I feel like that's something

1299
01:06:09,856 --> 01:06:12,325
that you guys should put in

1300
01:06:12,325 --> 01:06:13,260
here, you know, like do you

1301
01:06:13,260 --> 01:06:16,430
have to because you guys get

1302
01:06:16,430 --> 01:06:17,300
into these situations where you

1303
01:06:17,300 --> 01:06:17,697
pretty much have to pass

1304
01:06:17,697 --> 01:06:21,668
the item and so you go ahead

1305
01:06:21,668 --> 01:06:22,369
and do it just because you have

1306
01:06:22,369 --> 01:06:25,672
to instead of going is this

1307
01:06:25,672 --> 01:06:26,440
really what's best If we

1308
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,140
brought it forward to stop

1309
01:06:27,140 --> 01:06:27,774
the things that we're talking

1310
01:06:27,774 --> 01:06:30,774
about, it hasn't done that

1311
01:06:30,777 --> 01:06:31,478
because then you're just

1312
01:06:31,478 --> 01:06:32,145
gaslighting the people acting

1313
01:06:32,145 --> 01:06:35,145
like you're you're you know,

1314
01:06:35,549 --> 01:06:36,182
doing what's best because even

1315
01:06:36,182 --> 01:06:36,883
still like the fulfilling

1316
01:06:36,883 --> 01:06:40,254
the intent of the budget does

1317
01:06:40,254 --> 01:06:40,954
that ever happen I mean

1318
01:06:40,954 --> 01:06:41,621
potentially because your guys

1319
01:06:41,621 --> 01:06:44,957
is in the mayor's intent is

1320
01:06:44,957 --> 01:06:45,692
different than what you present

1321
01:06:45,692 --> 01:06:46,359
to the people so you're filling

1322
01:06:46,359 --> 01:06:49,359
your own pockets and things

1323
01:06:49,366 --> 01:06:50,290
like that But what you present

1324
01:06:50,290 --> 01:06:50,664
to the people isn't what's

1325
01:06:50,664 --> 01:06:51,298
happening and the impacts.

1326
01:06:51,298 --> 01:06:54,234
It's like who knows what

1327
01:06:54,234 --> 01:06:54,801
the impacts are like even

1328
01:06:54,801 --> 01:06:55,369
closing the bathrooms.

1329
01:06:55,369 --> 01:06:56,360
Is that something that

1330
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,439
the mayor let you guys know

1331
01:06:59,439 --> 01:07:00,207
what those impacts were going

1332
01:07:00,207 --> 01:07:00,507
to be and how would he know

1333
01:07:00,507 --> 01:07:02,507
that?

1334
01:07:03,810 --> 01:07:04,411
How could you trust that he

1335
01:07:04,411 --> 01:07:05,112
would provide you enough

1336
01:07:05,112 --> 01:07:05,812
information that would really

1337
01:07:05,812 --> 01:07:09,149
show what the people are going

1338
01:07:09,149 --> 01:07:09,850
to be, you know, suffering?

1339
01:07:09,850 --> 01:07:10,484
I mean because he's not going

1340
01:07:10,484 --> 01:07:10,783
there and having to suffer

1341
01:07:10,783 --> 01:07:12,783
that.

1342
01:07:14,420 --> 01:07:15,220
So I just think you guys need

1343
01:07:15,220 --> 01:07:15,756
to be more mindful about

1344
01:07:15,756 --> 01:07:16,523
the way you do this And we need

1345
01:07:16,523 --> 01:07:17,390
to be hearing about what

1346
01:07:17,390 --> 01:07:19,760
the impacts are if you don't

1347

Say hello.

01:07:49,289 --> 01:07:50,570
I just want to say on

1360
01:07:50,570 --> 01:07:53,560
the budget they are going to

1361
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:54,127
both we should not be giving

1362
01:07:54,127 --> 01:07:56,527
money to Breaking Bad.

1363
01:07:58,298 --> 01:07:59,166
Sure that we need to we are

1364
01:07:59,166 --> 01:08:02,766
women or we are women in

1365
01:08:04,271 --> 01:08:04,972
bathrooms and basically get

1366
01:08:04,972 --> 01:08:05,539
what are you thinking and will

1367
01:08:05,539 --> 01:08:07,939
there be an increase?

1368
01:08:08,742 --> 01:08:09,609
I hate you pretty much if you

1369
01:08:09,609 --> 01:08:12,780
are too weak and by you are a

1370
01:08:12,780 --> 01:08:16,278
man and you do not belong in

01:08:17,551 --> 01:08:18,284
men's race men women,

01:08:18,284 --> 01:08:20,684
restrooms, women's locker rooms

01:08:22,221 --> 01:08:22,956
and women's jails I'm sick

1374
01:08:22,956 --> 01:08:25,956
Entire training taking over San

1375
01:08:27,728 --> 01:08:28,461

1379
01:08:40,140 --> 01:08:40,840
That concludes your comments.

1380
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,840
Okay Starting with next going

1381
01:08:44,878 --> 01:08:45,445
to Kathleen Lippert.

1382
01:08:45,445 --> 01:08:47,445
>> Thank you.

1383
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:50,817
Good afternoon.

1384
01:08:50,817 --> 01:08:53,817
Council My name is Kathleen

1385
01:08:54,788 --> 01:08:55,522
Lippert at over the past two

1386
01:08:55,522 --> 01:08:59,122
decades the city of San Diego's

1387
01:08:59,159 --> 01:09:01,559
workforce has expanded from

1388
01:09:03,697 --> 01:09:05,697
11,000 employees in 2005 to

1389
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:07,734
13,000 in 2025 a 20% increase.

1390
01:09:07,734 --> 01:09:08,368
Notably during that period

1391
01:09:08,368 --> 01:09:10,368
management level positions

1392
01:09:12,505 --> 01:09:14,905
surged by 461% this year.

1393
01:09:17,778 --> 01:09:20,778
Meantime, along a 10% rise in

1394
01:09:22,216 --> 01:09:22,982
the city's population, I want

1395
01:09:22,982 --> 01:09:26,420
to point out that there is an

1396
01:09:26,420 --> 01:09:27,120
example that the city could

1397
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:27,754
follow and perhaps collaborate

1398
01:09:27,754 --> 01:09:30,754
with the city of Temecula.

1399
01:09:35,128 --> 01:09:35,796
It became debt free after

1400
01:09:35,796 --> 01:09:36,497
$76.86 million was paid off.

1401
01:09:36,497 --> 01:09:38,897
The officially declared itself

1402
01:09:39,967 --> 01:09:40,734
debt free.

1403
01:09:40,734 --> 01:09:43,734
The city including the city

1404
01:09:44,437 --> 01:09:45,139
manager announced

1405
01:09:45,139 --> 01:09:47,539
the achievement in JULY 2026

1406
01:09:49,742 --> 01:09:50,377
Temecula City Council Under

1407
01:09:50,377 --> 01:09:52,777
the city's definition debt

1408
01:09:54,214 --> 01:09:54,881
included mortgages facility

1409
01:09:54,881 --> 01:09:55,516
loans, unfunded pension

1410
01:09:55,516 --> 01:09:57,916
obligations and long term

1411
01:09:59,953 --> 01:10:00,754
liability.

1412
01:10:00,754 --> 01:10:04,491
If the payoff was the result of

1413
01:10:04,491 --> 01:10:05,192
a multi-year financial strategy

1414
01:10:05,192 --> 01:10:07,592
that addressed facility loans,

1415
01:10:09,696 --> 01:10:10,430
mortgages unfunded pension

1416
01:10:10,430 --> 01:10:11,131
obligations and other long term

1417
01:10:11,131 --> 01:10:13,531
liabilities By resolving these

1418
01:10:15,501 --> 01:10:16,203
obligations the city not only

1419
01:10:16,203 --> 01:10:19,203
removed debt from its balance

1420
01:10:20,641 --> 01:10:21,341
sheet but also reduced future

1421
01:10:21,341 --> 01:10:23,341
interest costs significantly.

1422
01:10:25,212 --> 01:10:28,812
However, this can only be done

1423
01:10:29,349 --> 01:10:30,150
if there is a market solution

1424
01:10:30,150 --> 01:10:33,150
and and dedication to being

1425
01:10:34,755 --> 01:10:35,221
into integrity and and

1426
01:10:35,221 --> 01:10:37,221
the public good.

1427
01:10:39,593 --> 01:10:39,893
So thank you for letting me

1428
01:10:39,893 --> 01:10:40,327
speak.

1429
01:10:40,327 --> 01:10:41,361
>> Thank you.

1430
01:10:41,361 --> 01:10:43,530
Next is John If you can please

1431
01:10:43,530 --> 01:10:45,530
unmute.

1432
01:10:48,802 --> 01:10:49,570
Good afternoon City Council

1433
01:10:49,570 --> 01:10:50,537
members I'm sorry your and we

1434
01:10:50,537 --> 01:10:54,410
can I can hear you very very

1435
01:10:54,410 --> 01:10:54,641
faintly.

1436
01:10:54,641 --> 01:10:55,109
Sorry about that.

1437
01:10:55,109 --> 01:10:55,642
Is this better?

1438
01:10:55,642 --> 01:10:56,110
Yes that's better.

1439
01:10:56,110 --> 01:10:58,110
Please proceed.

1440
01:10:58,344 --> 01:10:59,120
Excellent.

1441
01:10:59,120 --> 01:10:59,546
>> John Brady with Lived

1442
01:10:59,546 --> 01:11:00,214
Experience advisors.

1443
01:11:00,214 --> 01:11:02,614
Good afternoon City Council.

1444
01:11:03,182 --> 01:11:03,883
I am concerned about how

1445
01:11:03,883 --> 01:11:06,883
the budget process played out

1446
01:11:07,654 --> 01:11:08,489
this year.

1447
01:11:08,489 --> 01:11:09,189
It seemed that we were going to

1448
01:11:09,189 --> 01:11:11,589
protect everything related to

1449
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:13,327
our services for the homeless

1450
01:11:13,327 --> 01:11:14,600
community.

1451
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:14,728
And at the very end it appeared

1452
01:11:14,728 --> 01:11:17,728
that we were going to

1453
01:11:18,332 --> 01:11:19,320
discontinue funding for the Neo

1454
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:19,699
good day center and now it

1455
01:11:19,699 --> 01:11:22,699
appears that the denial good

1456
01:11:22,836 --> 01:11:23,570
day center is going to be

1457
01:11:23,570 --> 01:11:24,370
permanently closed and licensed

1458
01:11:24,370 --> 01:11:26,370
from operation.

1459
01:11:27,808 --> 01:11:28,508
That is a very different

1460
01:11:28,508 --> 01:11:29,142
outcome from what we expected

1461
01:11:29,142 --> 01:11:32,312
at the beginning and I can

1462
01:11:32,312 --> 01:11:33,130
assure you the community

1463
01:11:33,130 --> 01:11:33,680
response would have been much

1464
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,680
more aggressive had we known

1465
01:11:37,751 --> 01:11:38,418
that a as a decrease in funding

1466
01:11:38,418 --> 01:11:39,220
was going to be an absolute

1467
01:11:39,220 --> 01:11:42,820
shutdown of the neo good day

1468
01:11:43,157 --> 01:11:43,557
center To put that in

1469
01:11:43,557 --> 01:11:44,257
perspective.

1470
01:11:44,257 --> 01:11:46,727
The name of the Day Center has

1471
01:11:46,727 --> 01:11:47,294
either 6 or 8 men's and women's

1472
01:11:47,294 --> 01:11:49,294
stalls four bathrooms.

1473
01:11:50,530 --> 01:11:51,231
That is over 50% of

1474
01:11:51,231 --> 01:11:51,899
the available public bathrooms

1475
01:11:51,899 --> 01:11:55,501
in the city of San Diego for

1476
01:11:55,501 --> 01:11:55,936
people experiencing

1477
01:11:55,936 --> 01:11:56,537
homelessness.

1478
01:11:56,537 --> 01:11:56,870
>> That is an outrageous

1479
01:11:56,870 --> 01:11:58,870
outcome.

1480
01:12:00,507 --> 01:12:01,275
John I'm going to interrupt

1481
01:12:01,275 --> 01:12:01,642
because I have to be fair to

1482
01:12:01,642 --> 01:12:02,176
everyone.

1483
01:12:02,176 --> 01:12:04,176
We're talking about

1484
01:12:04,912 --> 01:12:05,579
the budgetary principles not

1485
01:12:05,579 --> 01:12:06,313
about any facility or any

1486
01:12:06,313 --> 01:12:08,713
budget allocation So understood

1487
01:12:09,783 --> 01:12:10,484
and understood And what I'm

1488
01:12:10,484 --> 01:12:14,840
seeking is more clarity when a

1489
01:12:14,354 --> 01:12:14,655
shift like that is going to

1490
01:12:14,655 --> 01:12:15,422
occur.

1491
01:12:15,422 --> 01:12:19,220
So I and I apologize for

1492
01:12:19,593 --> 01:12:20,270
getting into in depth into that

1493
01:12:20,270 --> 01:12:20,527
I understand.

1494
01:12:20,527 --> 01:12:22,527
Council PRESIDENT.

1495
01:12:24,498 --> 01:12:25,132
So I really hope that in

1496
01:12:25,132 --> 01:12:25,766
the future we are able to

1497
01:12:25,766 --> 01:12:28,766
provide a lot more clarity

1498
01:12:29,570 --> 01:12:30,237
about the impact of decisions

1499
01:12:30,237 --> 01:12:33,837
like this as well as cutting

1500
01:12:35,643 --> 01:12:36,100
cutting public bathrooms across

1501
01:12:36,100 --> 01:12:36,443
the board.

1502
01:12:36,443 --> 01:12:37,277
>> Thank you.

1503
01:12:37,277 --> 01:12:39,279
Blair Beckman if you can please

1504
01:12:39,279 --> 01:12:39,779
unmute.

1505
01:12:39,779 --> 01:12:41,779
All right.

1506
01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:45,919
Thank you.

1507
01:12:45,919 --> 01:12:46,553
Beakman I really second

1508
01:12:46,553 --> 01:12:46,887
the words of the previous

1509
01:12:46,887 --> 01:12:48,887
caller.

1510
01:12:50,190 --> 01:12:50,958
I'm very, very much so.

1511
01:12:50,958 --> 01:12:51,491
>> We can continue to talk

1512
01:12:51,491 --> 01:12:53,491
about these issues.

1513
01:12:54,661 --> 01:12:55,595
Thank you.

1514
01:12:55,595 --> 01:12:56,196
To me for me to speak on

1515
01:12:56,196 --> 01:12:58,196
principles of budgetary

1516
01:13:00,467 --> 01:13:01,670
concerns at this time it's my

1517
01:13:01,670 --> 01:13:03,467
sincere hope that we're

1518
01:13:04,938 --> 01:13:05,639
understanding that we can't

1519
01:13:05,639 --> 01:13:08,639
just simply offer, you know,

1520
01:13:10,770 --> 01:13:10,778
the best practices of budget

1521
01:13:10,778 --> 01:13:11,411
austerity to immediately solve

1522
01:13:11,411 --> 01:13:14,411
our budget issues a budget

1523
01:13:16,350 --> 01:13:17,385
deficit issues.

1524
01:13:17,385 --> 01:13:18,184
>> It was a fine that was a

1525
01:13:18,184 --> 01:13:20,187
program that was created kind

1526
01:13:20,187 --> 01:13:20,887
of in the 80s and 90s and it

1527
01:13:20,887 --> 01:13:21,221
was the accepted standard way

1528
01:13:21,221 --> 01:13:23,221
to work.

1529
01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:26,590
But we're trying to understand

1530
01:13:26,590 --> 01:13:29,590
the concepts that human beings

1531
01:13:30,430 --> 01:13:30,764
come first before ledger books

1532
01:13:30,764 --> 01:13:31,765
.

1533
01:13:31,765 --> 01:13:32,332
And that is been a bit of a

1534
01:13:32,332 --> 01:13:32,699
difficult journey for

1535
01:13:32,699 --> 01:13:34,699
ourselves.

1536
01:13:35,402 --> 01:13:35,668
We're learning how to navigate

1537
01:13:35,668 --> 01:13:36,403
it.

1538
01:13:36,403 --> 01:13:37,700
I hope we can continue that

1539
01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:39,470
important journey into next

1540
01:13:40,774 --> 01:13:41,709
year into 2027.

1541
01:13:41,709 --> 01:13:45,909
So you know budget time in MAY

1542
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:47,781
of next year for 2028 we will

1543
01:13:47,781 --> 01:13:51,381
be much more ready to talk

1544
01:13:51,652 --> 01:13:52,386
about equity and talk about

1545
01:13:52,386 --> 01:13:52,986
best practices so people don't.

1546
01:13:52,986 --> 01:13:55,386
Services don't get cut.

1547
01:13:57,358 --> 01:13:57,758
And then how we learn those

1548
01:13:57,758 --> 01:13:58,424
principles.

1549
01:13:58,424 --> 01:13:59,250
I want to be better prepared

1550
01:13:59,250 --> 01:14:01,425
about how we learn

1551
01:14:02,730 --> 01:14:03,430
the principles that we feel

1552
01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:05,830
that continuing health care

1553
01:14:08,235 --> 01:14:08,802
benefits and retirement

1554
01:14:08,802 --> 01:14:09,502
services for our city

1555
01:14:09,502 --> 01:14:12,502
government workers in times of

1556
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:14,541
stress is I think an important

1557
01:14:14,541 --> 01:14:15,209
principle and that a pay cut

1558
01:14:15,209 --> 01:14:18,209
MAY actually possibly be a

1559
01:14:19,213 --> 01:14:19,947
little easier than cutting.

1560
01:14:19,947 --> 01:14:23,547
You know, our concerns and our

1561
01:14:24,851 --> 01:14:25,519
and our retirement concern for

1562
01:14:25,519 --> 01:14:26,186
city workers it's learning a

1563
01:14:26,186 --> 01:14:28,586
principle system that we're

1564
01:14:30,190 --> 01:14:30,891
trying to navigate and better

1565
01:14:30,891 --> 01:14:31,624
understand for all of us

1566
01:14:31,624 --> 01:14:32,325
because look how we can do that

1567
01:14:32,325 --> 01:14:35,829
And I think it can make our

1568
01:14:35,829 --> 01:14:36,697
future better decisions better.

1569
01:14:36,697 --> 01:14:37,431
And it has to be based on

1570
01:14:37,431 --> 01:14:41,310
the choices of humanity and not

1571
01:14:41,168 --> 01:14:41,669
serving economic forecasts and

1572
01:14:41,669 --> 01:14:42,336
and ledger books.

1573
01:14:42,336 --> 01:14:45,936
So good luck in the efforts.

1574
01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:48,750
Thank you.

1575
01:14:48,750 --> 01:14:48,676
Thank you.

1576
01:14:48,676 --> 01:14:49,276
The five minute timer To

1577
01:14:49,276 --> 01:14:49,910
conclude during Blair's

1578
01:14:49,910 --> 01:14:50,444
comments there were three

1579
01:14:50,444 --> 01:14:52,844
people in the queue.

1580
01:14:53,147 --> 01:14:53,447
Additional speakers will be

1581
01:14:53,447 --> 01:14:54,810
taken.

1582
01:14:54,810 --> 01:14:54,514
Catherine Rose If you can

1583
01:14:54,514 --> 01:14:56,514
please unmute.

1584
01:14:56,717 --> 01:14:57,170
After that is Natalie Raskin

1585
01:14:57,170 --> 01:14:57,651
7499.

1586
01:14:57,651 --> 01:14:57,984
>> Hello this is Catherine

1587
01:14:57,984 --> 01:14:59,984
Rhodes.

1588
01:15:02,422 --> 01:15:03,123
I wanted to talk about

1589
01:15:03,123 --> 01:15:03,974
the structural budget deficit.

1590
01:15:03,974 --> 01:15:08,174
You know maybe have and I put

1591
01:15:08,328 --> 01:15:09,290
forward about proposed ballot

1592
01:15:09,290 --> 01:15:09,662
measures that would have gone

1593
01:15:09,662 --> 01:15:12,662
on the NOVEMBER ballot to

1594
01:15:13,867 --> 01:15:14,201
eliminate the structural budget

1595
01:15:14,201 --> 01:15:14,835
deficit.

1596
01:15:14,835 --> 01:15:17,835
But instead of the debate

1597
01:15:19,305 --> 01:15:19,974
giving a written report on why

1598
01:15:19,974 --> 01:15:22,974
they think our numbers were

1599
01:15:24,678 --> 01:15:25,379
incorrect, all we got was a

1600
01:15:25,379 --> 01:15:28,379
verbal thing saying that it

1601
01:15:30,383 --> 01:15:31,840
wouldn't make that much money

1602
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:31,552
wouldn't solve the structural

1603
01:15:31,552 --> 01:15:33,552
budget deficit.

1604
01:15:35,723 --> 01:15:36,422
But instead of using our

1605
01:15:36,422 --> 01:15:37,124
numbers of about $140 million

1606
01:15:37,124 --> 01:15:37,758
that would have came here that

1607
01:15:37,758 --> 01:15:38,125
would have solved all your

1608
01:15:38,125 --> 01:15:40,125
problems.

1609
01:15:42,529 --> 01:15:43,197
And I just want to I would like

1610
01:15:43,197 --> 01:15:46,197
the idea to actually put

1611
01:15:48,402 --> 01:15:49,360
something in writing instead of

1612
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:50,370
just have it being verbal.

1613
01:15:50,370 --> 01:15:54,174
You know, this was a plan to

1614
01:15:54,174 --> 01:15:54,808
eliminate the structural budget

1615
01:15:54,808 --> 01:15:55,276
deficit by identifying new

1616
01:15:55,276 --> 01:15:57,276
revenue sources.

1617
01:16:00,180 --> 01:16:00,948
One good thing is that the city

1618
01:16:00,948 --> 01:16:01,749
of Los Angeles in JUNE did

1619
01:16:01,749 --> 01:16:05,349
the same thing where they had

1620
01:16:06,854 --> 01:16:07,488
know this was part of changing

1621
01:16:07,488 --> 01:16:10,488
the municipal code to say

1622
01:16:11,959 --> 01:16:12,660
online travel agencies are

1623
01:16:12,660 --> 01:16:13,327
considered hotel operators and

1624
01:16:13,327 --> 01:16:15,529
that they would have to pay

1625
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:18,529
the full transit occupancy tax

1626
01:16:22,136 --> 01:16:22,436
instead of only a portion of it

1627
01:16:22,436 --> 01:16:23,102
.

1628
01:16:23,102 --> 01:16:23,771
Pretty soon we'll be getting

1629
01:16:23,771 --> 01:16:24,438
information from Los Angeles

1630
01:16:24,438 --> 01:16:27,438
that will probably show that

1631
01:16:28,476 --> 01:16:28,943
they're going to be making so

1632
01:16:28,943 --> 01:16:29,610
much more money.

1633
01:16:29,610 --> 01:16:32,610
They think that they're only

1634
01:16:33,179 --> 01:16:33,814
going to be making an

1635
01:16:33,814 --> 01:16:34,282
additional $3 million for

1636
01:16:34,282 --> 01:16:36,282
the whole year.

1637
01:16:38,152 --> 01:16:38,819
I bet you they will make $3

1638
01:16:38,819 --> 01:16:39,520
million in a couple of weeks

1639
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,120
and they're going to be making

1640
01:16:43,757 --> 01:16:44,491
so much more money and using

1641
01:16:44,491 --> 01:16:45,125
that information you'll see how

1642
01:16:45,125 --> 01:16:45,625
much you guys totally lost

1643
01:16:45,625 --> 01:16:48,250
the ball on this.

1644
01:16:50,531 --> 01:16:51,198
The other thing about this is

1645
01:16:51,198 --> 01:16:51,899
the idea and I believe also

1646
01:16:51,899 --> 01:16:55,499
the city attorney tried to say

1647
01:16:56,737 --> 01:16:57,371
that we needed a two thirds

1648
01:16:57,371 --> 01:16:59,771
voter approval because of

1649
01:17:03,770 --> 01:17:03,477
the measure c because it's a

1650
01:17:03,477 --> 01:17:04,143
special tax.

1651
01:17:04,143 --> 01:17:04,812
>> How about you're talking

1652
01:17:04,812 --> 01:17:07,812
about concluded that only if

1653
01:17:11,510 --> 01:17:14,651
you complete them you not only

1654
01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:17,558
rushfield experience advisors

1655
01:17:17,558 --> 01:17:18,192
When we talk about principals

1656
01:17:18,192 --> 01:17:21,792
it is it is confusing I'm

1657
01:17:22,229 --> 01:17:22,563
confused on all the principals

1658
01:17:22,563 --> 01:17:23,397
.

1659
01:17:23,397 --> 01:17:27,597
I would have changed my what I

1660
01:17:28,602 --> 01:17:29,203
was going to say when I had my

1661
01:17:29,203 --> 01:17:29,836
two minutes to speak on

1662
01:17:29,836 --> 01:17:30,571
the budget If I would have

1663
01:17:30,571 --> 01:17:32,971
understood what these proposals

1664
01:17:35,341 --> 01:17:36,430
are, what we're going to be on

1665
01:17:36,430 --> 01:17:36,677
there, what we're going to be

1666
01:17:36,677 --> 01:17:37,110
on there, what was already

1667
01:17:37,110 --> 01:17:39,110
decided.

1668
01:17:40,314 --> 01:17:41,114
It's very frustrating because

1669
01:17:41,114 --> 01:17:41,816
I'm passionate about what I do.

1670
01:17:41,816 --> 01:17:42,483
I'm passionate about my family

1671
01:17:42,483 --> 01:17:46,830
and what happens to them and

1672
01:17:46,387 --> 01:17:47,870
what these decisions that are

1673
01:17:47,870 --> 01:17:47,788
made that affect me personally

1674
01:17:47,788 --> 01:17:51,388
and the rest of the community

1675
01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:53,627
and those principles Are we

1676
01:17:53,627 --> 01:17:56,270
going off the air,

1677
01:17:59,466 --> 01:18:00,134
the bathrooms being shut down?

1678
01:18:00,134 --> 01:18:02,534
Are they mayors, principals?

1679
01:18:04,571 --> 01:18:05,238
Are we not having shelter?

1680
01:18:05,238 --> 01:18:05,973
We are having shelters.

1681
01:18:05,973 --> 01:18:09,573
Are they planning on putting us

1682
01:18:10,444 --> 01:18:11,145
on on Break Ranch?

1683
01:18:11,145 --> 01:18:11,479
I think there should be

1684
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:12,212
clarity.

1685
01:18:12,212 --> 01:18:15,812
There should be What's the word

1686
01:18:16,650 --> 01:18:17,351
transparency because it affects

1687
01:18:17,351 --> 01:18:19,751
me personally my children

1688
01:18:23,557 --> 01:18:24,358
personally and the principles

1689
01:18:24,358 --> 01:18:28,558
that I stand by or live by

1690
01:18:28,996 --> 01:18:29,697
don't seem to be the same as

1691
01:18:29,697 --> 01:18:32,697
anybody else's which is fine.

1692
01:18:35,603 --> 01:18:36,270
But the principles that we're

1693
01:18:36,270 --> 01:18:39,870
who are beating us in this

1694
01:18:40,941 --> 01:18:41,609
administration I don't I don't

1695
01:18:41,609 --> 01:18:42,309
think we should be doing

1696
01:18:42,309 --> 01:18:42,810
anything that goes along with

1697
01:18:42,810 --> 01:18:44,810
those principles.

1698
01:18:47,617 --> 01:18:48,449
Thank you.

1699
01:18:48,449 --> 01:18:49,182
So I have to say thank you.

1700
01:18:49,182 --> 01:18:50,484
And our final speaker lowered

1701
01:18:50,484 --> 01:18:51,252
their hand so that does

1702
01:18:51,252 --> 01:18:54,252
conclude public comment on this

1703
01:18:57,958 --> 01:18:58,993
item.

1704
01:18:58,993 --> 01:18:59,493
>> I think it took a second for

1705
01:18:59,493 --> 01:19:01,893
that to sink in.

1706
01:19:02,763 --> 01:19:03,430
All right.

1707
01:19:03,430 --> 01:19:04,198
Thank you, city clerk.

1708
01:19:04,198 --> 01:19:04,999
And with that we'll turn it

1709
01:19:04,999 --> 01:19:07,999
over to council members for

1710
01:19:09,537 --> 01:19:10,204
questions and comments and

1711
01:19:10,204 --> 01:19:10,805
entertain a motion And we'll

1712
01:19:10,805 --> 01:19:11,372
start with the chair of

1713
01:19:11,372 --> 01:19:13,372
the Budget Committee.

1714
01:19:15,242 --> 01:19:16,100
>> Councilmember Foster Yes.

1715
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:18,410
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

1716
01:19:20,380 --> 01:19:21,810
And thank you to the aba's

1717
01:19:21,810 --> 01:19:24,681
office for the work that goes

1718
01:19:26,987 --> 01:19:27,655
into this document.

1719
01:19:27,655 --> 01:19:28,355
Thank you for putting in

1720
01:19:28,355 --> 01:19:30,755
the information regarding risk

1721
01:19:32,460 --> 01:19:33,160
management and having them

1722
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:33,927
included in the conversation.

1723
01:19:33,927 --> 01:19:36,927
I think that's an important

1724
01:19:39,566 --> 01:19:40,334
department and important fund

1725
01:19:40,334 --> 01:19:44,534
as it is you know the backstop

1726
01:19:44,605 --> 01:19:45,439
it is the general fund.

1727
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,173
And so I think that's something

1728
01:19:46,173 --> 01:19:46,774
that is of value as we go

1729
01:19:46,774 --> 01:19:48,774
through our budget

1730
01:19:51,579 --> 01:19:52,345
deliberations.

1731
01:19:52,345 --> 01:19:53,470
Also for transparency just so

1732
01:19:53,470 --> 01:19:56,470
that the public can understand

1733
01:19:56,717 --> 01:19:57,170
where our dollars are are

1734
01:19:57,170 --> 01:19:59,170
going.

1735
01:20:03,390 --> 01:20:03,857
Just quickly just listening to

1736
01:20:03,857 --> 01:20:05,857
public comment.

1737
01:20:09,163 --> 01:20:09,863
Quite frankly, I do have

1738
01:20:09,863 --> 01:20:12,263
concerns about this document,

1739
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:16,470
this effort as it is a

1740
01:20:16,470 --> 01:20:17,700
resolution.

1741
01:20:17,700 --> 01:20:20,670
It is I say an agreement

1742
01:20:20,808 --> 01:20:21,442
between the council and mayor

1743
01:20:21,442 --> 01:20:21,876
in regards to the simply

1744
01:20:21,876 --> 01:20:23,876
communication.

1745
01:20:26,380 --> 01:20:27,480
It does not have any true teeth

1746
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:30,480
in regards to when that

1747
01:20:32,420 --> 01:20:33,530
agreement is not adhered to,

1748
01:20:33,530 --> 01:20:33,788
whether it's the mayor or

1749
01:20:33,788 --> 01:20:34,388
the council in regards to that.

1750
01:20:34,388 --> 01:20:37,388
But I think the overall

1751
01:20:39,930 --> 01:20:39,794
frustration quite honestly

1752
01:20:39,794 --> 01:20:42,794
relates to our current system.

1753
01:20:44,765 --> 01:20:45,166
And that's the stronger form of

1754
01:20:45,166 --> 01:20:45,833
government.

1755
01:20:45,833 --> 01:20:46,500
I think you are seeing just

1756
01:20:46,500 --> 01:20:50,100
what was put in place, what

1757
01:20:50,571 --> 01:20:51,272
those impacts are and what it

1758
01:20:51,272 --> 01:20:51,972
means to be in a stronger

1759
01:20:51,972 --> 01:20:54,972
system in that authority that

1760
01:20:56,743 --> 01:20:57,578
the mayor has now.

1761
01:20:57,578 --> 01:20:58,312
And so as we continue to move

1762
01:20:58,312 --> 01:21:01,816
forward, that is one thing that

1763
01:21:01,816 --> 01:21:02,483
will be on my mind as we

1764
01:21:02,483 --> 01:21:03,183
continue to move forward and

1765
01:21:03,183 --> 01:21:06,783
that is a discussion of strong

1766
01:21:08,189 --> 01:21:08,622
mayor versus city manager form

1767
01:21:08,622 --> 01:21:09,290
of government.

1768
01:21:09,290 --> 01:21:10,230
So with that I'll begin.

1769
01:21:10,230 --> 01:21:13,623
Thank you for the efforts on

1770
01:21:15,296 --> 01:21:15,896
this item and I will move

1771
01:21:15,896 --> 01:21:16,263
staff's recommendation.

1772
01:21:16,263 --> 01:21:16,697
All right.

1773
01:21:16,697 --> 01:21:18,697
Thank you sir.

1774
01:21:20,134 --> 01:21:20,868
So we have a motion by Council

1775
01:21:20,868 --> 01:21:21,569
member Foster to move the staff

1776
01:21:21,569 --> 01:21:22,236
recommendation and we go next

1777
01:21:22,236 --> 01:21:25,236
to Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem

1778
01:21:26,374 --> 01:21:27,700
Lee then council PRESIDENT And

1779
01:21:27,700 --> 01:21:30,700
I will start by seconding

1780
01:21:32,460 --> 01:21:32,680
the motion and maybe to thank

1781
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:33,380
Council Member Foster for

1782
01:21:33,380 --> 01:21:34,810
the additions that he made to

1783
01:21:34,810 --> 01:21:34,615
this year's budget principles

1784
01:21:34,615 --> 01:21:37,615
In terms of some of

1785
01:21:37,984 --> 01:21:38,652
the additional transparency but

1786
01:21:38,652 --> 01:21:39,220
also to echo some of his

1787
01:21:39,220 --> 01:21:39,953
comments I think these

1788
01:21:39,953 --> 01:21:42,953
principles exist and only work

1789
01:21:44,659 --> 01:21:45,359
as well as they do based on how

1790
01:21:45,359 --> 01:21:48,959
both sides choose to adhere to

1791
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:50,331
it and how we work with each

1792
01:21:50,331 --> 01:21:51,198
other.

1793
01:21:51,198 --> 01:21:51,799
And I think we have seen in

1794
01:21:51,799 --> 01:21:54,799
the last couple of years

1795
01:21:55,503 --> 01:21:55,803
the limitations of that as well

1796
01:21:55,803 --> 01:21:56,570
.

1797
01:21:56,570 --> 01:21:57,204
And so I don't come in

1798
01:21:57,204 --> 01:21:57,872
pretending like that's not

1799
01:21:57,872 --> 01:22:01,472
the case but look forward to

1800
01:22:02,476 --> 01:22:03,176
continuing to try to see how we

1801
01:22:03,176 --> 01:22:03,910
can improve our communications

1802
01:22:03,910 --> 01:22:07,510
and efforts across the board as

1803
01:22:10,170 --> 01:22:10,717
we work towards another what I

1804
01:22:10,717 --> 01:22:11,351
think is going to be expected

1805
01:22:11,351 --> 01:22:11,652
to be a challenging budget

1806
01:22:11,652 --> 01:22:12,353
year.

1807
01:22:12,353 --> 01:22:14,321
So thank you Council present.

1808
01:22:14,321 --> 01:22:14,789
All right.

1809
01:22:14,789 --> 01:22:15,622
Thank you, sir.

1810
01:22:15,622 --> 01:22:16,289
So we have a motion by Council

1811
01:22:16,289 --> 01:22:19,727
member Foster in a second by

1812
01:22:19,727 --> 01:22:20,261
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

1813
01:22:20,261 --> 01:22:20,728
to move the staff

1814
01:22:20,728 --> 01:22:21,362
recommendation.

1815
01:22:21,362 --> 01:22:24,962
I don't see anyone else on

1816
01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:27,368
the lights or any hands up.

1817
01:22:27,368 --> 01:22:28,350
I'll just add my thank you to

1818
01:22:28,350 --> 01:22:31,350
Charles and the sergeant on

1819
01:22:31,638 --> 01:22:32,106
the team for working on this

1820
01:22:32,106 --> 01:22:32,807
year after year.

1821
01:22:32,807 --> 01:22:35,807
You know perhaps we're getting

1822
01:22:37,611 --> 01:22:38,279
more clarification that this is

1823
01:22:38,279 --> 01:22:38,846
a statement of communication

1824
01:22:38,846 --> 01:22:41,246
between the mayor and

1825
01:22:43,718 --> 01:22:44,418
the council and unnecessary

1826
01:22:44,418 --> 01:22:45,186
only translate to what

1827
01:22:45,186 --> 01:22:49,386
the public MAY or MAY not need

1828
01:22:49,457 --> 01:22:49,790
in understanding the budget

1829
01:22:49,790 --> 01:22:50,524
process.

1830
01:22:50,524 --> 01:22:51,225
And while some of us think

1831
01:22:51,225 --> 01:22:51,926
the budget process is long and

1832
01:22:51,926 --> 01:22:54,926
tedious drawn out, it actually

1833
01:22:57,231 --> 01:22:57,899
moves pretty fast and it's hard

1834
01:22:57,899 --> 01:23:00,368
to wrap your head around a

1835
01:23:00,368 --> 01:23:01,135
thousand pages a budget and two

1836
01:23:01,135 --> 01:23:01,802
plus 2 billion plus and all

1837
01:23:01,802 --> 01:23:04,202
the different components of

1838
01:23:07,508 --> 01:23:08,209
what we are as I have I want I

1839
01:23:08,209 --> 01:23:08,942
want to really respond to some

1840
01:23:08,942 --> 01:23:12,542
of the public comments but that

1841
01:23:13,247 --> 01:23:13,548
really is not the item in front

1842
01:23:13,548 --> 01:23:14,315
of us.

1843
01:23:14,315 --> 01:23:15,149
I see the work continuing KPIs.

1844
01:23:15,149 --> 01:23:19,530
I've never been a big fan but

1845
01:23:19,530 --> 01:23:22,653
I'll respect those who do see

1846
01:23:24,792 --> 01:23:25,592
those as valuable and continue

1847
01:23:25,592 --> 01:23:26,294
to make to my commitment with

1848
01:23:26,294 --> 01:23:29,894
my amazing staff to make sure

1849
01:23:30,231 --> 01:23:30,965
that we'll do everything we can

1850
01:23:30,965 --> 01:23:31,432
to dig into the budget,

1851
01:23:31,432 --> 01:23:31,999
understand what

1852
01:23:31,999 --> 01:23:32,700
the implications are.

1853
01:23:32,700 --> 01:23:35,700
But as the budgetary principal

1854
01:23:36,570 --> 01:23:37,271
say that when the Council

1855
01:23:37,271 --> 01:23:37,905
adopts the budget that it is

1856
01:23:37,905 --> 01:23:40,905
the mayor on the operation

1857
01:23:42,210 --> 01:23:42,877
sides to carry it out and

1858
01:23:42,877 --> 01:23:43,543
sometimes we find out things

1859
01:23:43,543 --> 01:23:46,543
that we didn't appreciate or

1860
01:23:48,382 --> 01:23:49,500
did not figure out what

1861
01:23:49,500 --> 01:23:49,717
the implications were going

1862
01:23:49,717 --> 01:23:53,317
forward as we saw happen in

1863
01:23:54,121 --> 01:23:55,890
dramatic fashion this month.

1864
01:23:55,890 --> 01:23:55,790
I'm glad we were able to even

1865
01:23:55,790 --> 01:23:56,324
if it took us six weeks to get

1866
01:23:56,324 --> 01:23:58,724
that taken care of.

1867
01:24:00,860 --> 01:24:01,562
I think.

1868
01:24:01,562 --> 01:24:02,263
Thank you Council member

1869
01:24:02,263 --> 01:24:02,862
Campbell for that partnership

1870
01:24:02,862 --> 01:24:03,197
so that we can always do

1871
01:24:03,197 --> 01:24:05,197
better.

1872
01:24:05,866 --> 01:24:06,567
We need to do better and have

1873
01:24:06,567 --> 01:24:07,335
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

1874
01:24:07,335 --> 01:24:10,935
said that we will have another

1875
01:24:12,907 --> 01:24:13,574
challenging budget ahead and

1876
01:24:13,574 --> 01:24:17,174
I'll throw in a little final

1877
01:24:17,645 --> 01:24:18,412
out Temecula sales tax is a

1878
01:24:18,412 --> 01:24:21,916
full 1% higher than the city of

1879
01:24:21,916 --> 01:24:22,617
San Diego's which would mean

1880
01:24:22,617 --> 01:24:23,317
$400 Million if we have

1881
01:24:23,317 --> 01:24:27,517
the same sales tax as the city

1882
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:29,823
of Temecula.

1883
01:24:29,823 --> 01:24:30,525
Anyway, with that we have a

1884
01:24:30,525 --> 01:24:31,125
motion by Councilmember Foster

1885
01:24:31,125 --> 01:24:34,125
and a second by Council

1886
01:24:34,996 --> 01:24:35,663

1887
01:24:35,663 --> 01:24:36,297

Council Member Bond Wilford if

1892
01:24:43,671 --> 01:24:44,639

Thank you Council PRESIDENT All

1897
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:53,648
right.

Thank you.

NOVEMBER seventh, 1972, voters

1958
01:26:31,779 --> 01:26:32,447
approved a citizens initiative

1959
01:26:32,447 --> 01:26:34,847
that established the coastal

1960
01:26:36,783 --> 01:26:37,485
height limit overlay zone.

1961
01:26:37,485 --> 01:26:38,119
This initiative is also known

1962
01:26:38,119 --> 01:26:40,519
as the People's Ordinance

1963
01:26:42,690 --> 01:26:43,290
Number Oh Dash 10960.

1964
01:26:43,290 --> 01:26:43,991
The coastal height limit

1965
01:26:43,991 --> 01:26:46,991
overlay zone limits the height

1966
01:26:48,963 --> 01:26:49,597
of buildings to 30ft for

1967
01:26:49,597 --> 01:26:51,997
the area located generally

1968
01:26:53,134 --> 01:26:53,802
within city limits And west of

1969
01:26:53,802 --> 01:26:56,202
Interstate five on NOVEMBER

1970
01:26:58,639 --> 01:26:59,306
8th, 2022, Measure c was passed

1971
01:26:59,306 --> 01:27:03,506
by a majority of the city of

1972
01:27:03,944 --> 01:27:04,612
San Diego voters.

1973
01:27:04,612 --> 01:27:05,246
The ballot measure amended

1974
01:27:05,246 --> 01:27:05,847
the People's Ordinance and

1975
01:27:05,847 --> 01:27:06,280
the coastal height limit

1976
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,280
overlay zone.

1977
01:27:10,351 --> 01:27:11,510
The purpose of the measure was

1978
01:27:11,510 --> 01:27:14,510
to exclude the Midway Pacific

1979
01:27:14,288 --> 01:27:15,156
Highway Community Plan area

1980
01:27:15,156 --> 01:27:18,156
from the 30 foot high limit

1981
01:27:20,862 --> 01:27:23,262
Measure c was subsequently

1982
01:27:24,664 --> 01:27:25,366
challenged through a lawsuit on

1983
01:27:25,366 --> 01:27:26,100
OCTOBER 17th of 2025

1984
01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:29,100
the California Court of Appeals

1985
01:27:31,539 --> 01:27:32,730
ruled that the city needed to

1986
01:27:32,730 --> 01:27:32,774
complete additional

1987
01:27:32,774 --> 01:27:35,174
environmental review to study

1988
01:27:35,676 --> 01:27:36,377
the impacts of buildings

1989
01:27:36,377 --> 01:27:37,450
exceeding the 30 foot high

1990
01:27:37,450 --> 01:27:40,450
limit On MARCH 12th of 2026,

1991
01:27:42,417 --> 01:27:43,170
the San Diego Superior Court

1992
01:27:43,170 --> 01:27:43,751
issued a writ of mandate

1993
01:27:43,751 --> 01:27:47,351
directing the city to set aside

1994
01:27:48,356 --> 01:27:49,230
the approvals for Measure c.

1995
01:27:49,230 --> 01:27:52,230
This action is intended to

1996
01:27:54,495 --> 01:27:54,829
comply with the court's writ of

1997
01:27:54,829 --> 01:27:55,530
mandate.

1998
01:27:55,530 --> 01:27:56,164
The action requested and would

1999
01:27:56,164 --> 01:27:58,564
repeal the ordinance which

2000
01:28:00,535 --> 01:28:01,169
submitted Measure c to the city

2001
01:28:01,169 --> 01:28:01,835
voters and the associated

2002
01:28:01,835 --> 01:28:02,302
amendments to the San Diego

2003
01:28:02,302 --> 01:28:04,302
Municipal Code.

2004
01:28:06,474 --> 01:28:07,142
There The repeal of Measure c

2005
01:28:07,142 --> 01:28:07,709
means that the 30 foot high

2006
01:28:07,709 --> 01:28:08,409
limit on buildings in

2007
01:28:08,409 --> 01:28:11,409
the coastal high limit overlay

2008
01:28:11,745 --> 01:28:12,380
zone remains in effect for

2009
01:28:12,380 --> 01:28:14,780
the Midway Pacific Highway

2010
01:28:16,951 --> 01:28:17,719
Community Plan Area.

2011
01:28:17,719 --> 01:28:18,419
The request of staff is that

2012
01:28:18,419 --> 01:28:20,819
City Council adopted ordinance

2013
01:28:23,390 --> 01:28:24,125
to repeal ordinance number

2014
01:28:24,125 --> 01:28:26,525
o-21508 which submitted Measure

2015
01:28:30,131 --> 01:28:30,698
c to city voters and associate

2016
01:28:30,698 --> 01:28:31,365
amendments related to

2017
01:28:31,365 --> 01:28:32,633
the Coastal Highway overlay

2018
01:28:32,633 --> 01:28:35,633
zone in the Midway Pacific

2019
01:28:38,773 --> 01:28:39,340
Highway Community Plan Area.

2020
01:28:39,340 --> 01:28:39,774
This concludes staff's

2021
01:28:39,774 --> 01:28:40,508
presentation.

2022
01:28:40,508 --> 01:28:40,875
We are available for questions.

2023
01:28:40,875 --> 01:28:42,875
Thank you.

2024
01:28:44,312 --> 01:28:45,790
All right.

2025
01:28:45,790 --> 01:28:45,680
Thank you for the work on this

2026
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:46,314

Please proceed.

2041
01:29:09,870 --> 01:29:11,870
Good afternoon.

2042
01:29:12,874 --> 01:29:13,507
I'm Leslie Martin, executive

2043
01:29:13,507 --> 01:29:14,175
director of San Diego Fair

2044
01:29:14,175 --> 01:29:16,575
Housing Loud, an independent

2045
01:29:18,212 --> 01:29:18,846
fair housing research and

2046
01:29:18,846 --> 01:29:19,547
advocacy group working to

2047
01:29:19,547 --> 01:29:20,181
expand fair housing access and

2048
01:29:20,181 --> 01:29:22,181
homeownership opportunity

2049
01:29:23,984 --> 01:29:24,652
across San Diego as high as

2050
01:29:24,652 --> 01:29:25,286
three source neighborhoods.

2051
01:29:25,286 --> 01:29:26,540
i know the council has no

2052
01:29:26,540 --> 01:29:29,557
discretion on this item so my

2053
01:29:29,557 --> 01:29:29,957
comments are purely for

2054
01:29:29,957 --> 01:29:30,658
the record.

2055
01:29:30,658 --> 01:29:34,258
In a JULY 15th, 2022 memo your

2056
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:35,797
own planning department wrote

2057
01:29:35,797 --> 01:29:36,397
that the coastal height limit

2058
01:29:36,397 --> 01:29:37,310
remains as a barrier to

2059
01:29:37,310 --> 01:29:39,310
maximizing construction of

2060
01:29:40,100 --> 01:29:40,768
homes and residential

2061
01:29:40,768 --> 01:29:41,690
developments with restricted

2062
01:29:41,690 --> 01:29:43,690
units.

2063
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:44,606
The memo sampled 13

2064
01:29:44,606 --> 01:29:46,606
developments both inside

2065
01:29:48,476 --> 01:29:49,100
the overlay zone since 2001 is

2066
01:29:49,100 --> 01:29:49,677
only three stories.

2067
01:29:49,677 --> 01:29:52,677
Just one has been restricted

2068
01:29:54,382 --> 01:29:55,116
homes The Department recorded

2069
01:29:55,116 --> 01:29:55,850
that barrier, never asked where

2070
01:29:55,850 --> 01:29:59,186
the barrier falls or on whom So

2071
01:29:59,186 --> 01:29:59,921
we did in our first report

2072
01:29:59,921 --> 01:30:02,321
Coastal Opportunity and Housing

2073
01:30:04,858 --> 01:30:05,393
Access in San Diego which

2074
01:30:05,393 --> 01:30:06,260
publishes tomorrow.

2075
01:30:06,260 --> 01:30:06,794
The city has had it since

2076
01:30:06,794 --> 01:30:10,131
Friday If you doubt I you

2077
01:30:10,131 --> 01:30:10,765
personally inside the coastal

2078
01:30:10,765 --> 01:30:11,399
height limit 80% of census

2079
01:30:11,399 --> 01:30:13,799
tracts are higher highest

2080
01:30:15,737 --> 01:30:16,470
resource areas versus 54%

2081
01:30:16,470 --> 01:30:19,470
citywide In the current housing

2082
01:30:20,410 --> 01:30:20,641
cycle the overlay has only

2083
01:30:20,641 --> 01:30:21,242
permitted 32.5 homes per

2084
01:30:21,242 --> 01:30:23,242
thousand existing versus

2085
01:30:26,147 --> 01:30:28,147
citywide 62% homes affordable

2086
01:30:29,617 --> 01:30:30,317
below the original median two

2087
01:30:30,317 --> 01:30:30,684
per thousand against 11 for

2088
01:30:30,684 --> 01:30:32,684
the city.

2089
01:30:35,323 --> 01:30:36,230
So that's half the citywide

2090
01:30:36,230 --> 01:30:36,791
rate on housing of every kind

2091
01:30:36,791 --> 01:30:40,295
and a fifth the citywide rate

2092
01:30:40,295 --> 01:30:40,995
on affordable.

2093
01:30:40,995 --> 01:30:41,629
Today a staff report concedes

2094
01:30:41,629 --> 01:30:44,290
that this means less

2095
01:30:45,700 --> 01:30:46,334
development It contains no

2096
01:30:46,334 --> 01:30:47,100
federal housing analysis.

2097
01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:50,571
A cap on building is not in

2098
01:30:50,571 --> 01:30:51,205
neutral as static rule on

2099
01:30:51,205 --> 01:30:51,873
the most valuable land in

2100
01:30:51,873 --> 01:30:52,273
the city decides who gets to

2101
01:30:52,273 --> 01:30:54,273
live there.

2102
01:30:54,509 --> 01:30:56,909
Thank you very much.

2103
01:30:59,747 --> 01:31:00,615
Thank you Angela Better.

2104
01:31:00,615 --> 01:31:03,615
Hello When you repealed Measure

2105
01:31:04,953 --> 01:31:05,653
c today as the court has

2106
01:31:05,653 --> 01:31:08,653
ordered don't turn around and

2107
01:31:10,458 --> 01:31:11,125
use the state density bonus law

2108
01:31:11,125 --> 01:31:14,125
as a backdoor to accomplish

2109
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:15,830
the same thing Allowing midway

2110
01:31:15,830 --> 01:31:16,130
rising to exceed 30 foot height

2111
01:31:16,130 --> 01:31:18,130
limit.

2112
01:31:19,867 --> 01:31:20,568
Now we have sb 958 and sb 344

2113
01:31:20,568 --> 01:31:22,968
coming out of Sacramento

2114
01:31:24,138 --> 01:31:24,739
creating yet another backdoor

2115
01:31:24,739 --> 01:31:25,730
around the environmental

2116
01:31:25,730 --> 01:31:27,730
review.

2117
01:31:29,577 --> 01:31:30,277
This massive project is I'm

2118
01:31:30,277 --> 01:31:30,944
really going to ask you to

2119
01:31:30,944 --> 01:31:33,944
speak on Measure c There's

2120
01:31:33,981 --> 01:31:34,949
plenty of opportunity to speak

2121
01:31:34,949 --> 01:31:39,149
on that item but I know what

2122
01:31:39,954 --> 01:31:40,455
you're saying.

2123
01:31:40,455 --> 01:31:41,189
I understand it.

2124
01:31:41,189 --> 01:31:41,856
I fully respect it and I would

2125
01:31:41,856 --> 01:31:43,958
hope that it knowledge in a

2126
01:31:43,958 --> 01:31:44,624
public comment you come and

2127
01:31:44,624 --> 01:31:45,326
make that powerful statement

2128
01:31:45,326 --> 01:31:48,610
but talk about whether or not

2129
01:31:48,610 --> 01:31:51,610
we should repeal Measure c

2130
01:31:51,933 --> 01:31:55,533
Thank you for that choice And

2131
01:32:00,308 --> 01:32:04,479
yet if I'll try this one you

2132
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:05,346
notice I have no comments in my

2133
01:32:05,346 --> 01:32:05,713
hand so I'm going to wing it on

2134
01:32:05,713 --> 01:32:07,713
this one.

2135
01:32:09,817 --> 01:32:13,417
I'll start with this is this

2136
01:32:14,421 --> 01:32:18,210
little illegal voice or is this

2137
01:32:18,860 --> 01:32:22,460
the voice of the people winning

2138
01:32:23,598 --> 01:32:24,464
on this one And council member

2139
01:32:24,464 --> 01:32:27,464
DR. Campbell I really support

2140
01:32:29,270 --> 01:32:29,904
your position on this totally

2141
01:32:29,904 --> 01:32:32,904
and I'm looking forward to

2142
01:32:33,540 --> 01:32:35,540
hearing you speak.

2143
01:32:38,346 --> 01:32:39,146
I think that we can go

2144
01:32:39,146 --> 01:32:41,546
overboard on the environmental

2145
01:32:43,218 --> 01:32:46,818
concerns and if you get me

2146
01:32:47,455 --> 01:32:48,323
started on density you probably

2147
01:32:48,323 --> 01:32:52,493
won't like me a lot of you

2148
01:32:52,493 --> 01:32:53,260
because I love density Joy I

2149
01:32:53,260 --> 01:32:57,460
have to be fair to everyone and

2150
01:32:58,166 --> 01:32:58,866
we all do love you But speak to

2151
01:32:58,866 --> 01:32:59,367
the whether we should rescind

2152
01:32:59,367 --> 01:33:01,767
Measure c or not.

2153
01:33:02,937 --> 01:33:03,504
You start talking about density

2154
01:33:03,504 --> 01:33:04,205
and you love density.

2155
01:33:04,205 --> 01:33:07,242
This is just a question of

2156
01:33:07,242 --> 01:33:08,209
whether we should repeal

2157
01:33:08,209 --> 01:33:12,409
the measure c which is a court

2158
01:33:12,647 --> 01:33:12,947
order back on and I'll try

2159
01:33:12,947 --> 01:33:14,947
again.

2160
01:33:16,884 --> 01:33:21,156
Okay So I did look at you know

2161
01:33:21,156 --> 01:33:22,123
glance at this very quickly So

2162
01:33:22,123 --> 01:33:26,194
all I can say is that it seems

2163
01:33:26,194 --> 01:33:26,895
like a legal thing that we're

2164
01:33:26,895 --> 01:33:29,895
following that all we're doing

2165
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:31,766
is following the legal decision

2166
01:33:31,766 --> 01:33:35,966
that was made in the court that

2167
01:33:36,703 --> 01:33:40,303
we can't implement in Measure c

2168
01:33:41,420 --> 01:33:41,643
as it was chosen by correct

2169
01:33:41,643 --> 01:33:44,430
majority of the people.

2170
01:33:45,980 --> 01:33:46,681
And that sort of shocks me and

2171
01:33:46,681 --> 01:33:49,681
I don't really understand how

2172
01:33:51,386 --> 01:33:51,653
these things can end up this

2173
01:33:51,653 --> 01:33:53,653
way.

2174
01:33:56,223 --> 01:33:56,891
So I appreciate sorry about

2175
01:33:56,891 --> 01:33:57,692
that PRESIDENT LaCava And I

2176
01:33:57,692 --> 01:34:00,692
really do appreciate when you

2177
01:34:01,729 --> 01:34:02,530
take that stance on it not just

2178
01:34:02,530 --> 01:34:06,500
for me but for everyone that I

2179
01:34:06,500 --> 01:34:06,768
think that's the right way to

2180
01:34:06,768 --> 01:34:07,135
go.

2181
01:34:07,135 --> 01:34:09,135
Thank you.

2182
01:34:10,972 --> 01:34:11,705
So I'll just say that I'm going

2183
01:34:11,705 --> 01:34:15,305
to look forward to listening to

2184
01:34:16,100 --> 01:34:16,744
council member DR. Campbell

2185
01:34:16,744 --> 01:34:19,744
This is her Council District

2186
01:34:20,848 --> 01:34:21,149
two item and I'll I'll go from

2187
01:34:21,149 --> 01:34:23,149
there.

2188
01:34:25,386 --> 01:34:26,154
So thank you and love to all

2189
01:34:26,154 --> 01:34:26,855
Thank you Paul Krueger And I

2190
01:34:26,855 --> 01:34:29,255
understand you have a

2191
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:32,927
presentation or images to share

2192
01:34:32,927 --> 01:34:37,127
so staff will get those up for

2193
01:34:39,434 --> 01:34:40,168
you.

2194
01:34:40,168 --> 01:34:40,835
>> So I don't know where

2195
01:34:40,835 --> 01:34:42,970
the music is coming because

2196
01:34:42,970 --> 01:34:43,738
it's your walk up songs.

2197
01:34:43,738 --> 01:34:44,505
>> I do appreciate that you

2198
01:34:44,505 --> 01:34:47,242
bring a little levity in

2199
01:34:47,242 --> 01:34:47,976
the chamber.

2200
01:34:47,976 --> 01:34:48,643
There's another video coming in

2201
01:34:48,643 --> 01:34:49,310
every time we share for some

2202
01:34:49,310 --> 01:34:52,310
reason the audio sharing or

2203
01:34:53,114 --> 01:34:53,848
that other video that's prepped

2204
01:34:53,848 --> 01:34:54,315
but it's a nice walk up song.

2205
01:34:54,315 --> 01:34:56,315
Please proceed.

2206
01:34:57,719 --> 01:35:01,790
Can you zoom in on that a

2207
01:35:01,790 --> 01:35:02,190
little bit to the circled area

2208
01:35:02,190 --> 01:35:02,957
if possible?

2209
01:35:02,957 --> 01:35:03,892
If not all I'll just explain.

2210
01:35:03,892 --> 01:35:07,492
If not we'll print and share

2211
01:35:09,731 --> 01:35:10,532
with the council as well.

2212
01:35:10,532 --> 01:35:12,400
Back when you decided to appeal

2213
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:12,700
this measure is to the Supreme

2214
01:35:12,700 --> 01:35:13,401
Court.

2215
01:35:13,401 --> 01:35:14,690
Two of you voted against it.

2216
01:35:14,690 --> 01:35:17,690
Raul Campo explained that he

2217
01:35:17,572 --> 01:35:18,173
didn't think that your appeal

2218
01:35:18,173 --> 01:35:20,573
would be successful and

2219
01:35:22,143 --> 01:35:22,843
COUNCILWOMAN Moreno declined to

2220
01:35:22,843 --> 01:35:23,244
offer to explain why she voted

2221
01:35:23,244 --> 01:35:25,244
against it.

2222
01:35:26,515 --> 01:35:29,515
But there's the bill from

2223
01:35:30,985 --> 01:35:31,619
Everett Delano $446,000 he was

2224
01:35:31,619 --> 01:35:32,186
awarded by he hasn't been

2225
01:35:32,186 --> 01:35:34,586
awarded by the court.

2226
01:35:35,823 --> 01:35:39,423
He submitted his fees and costs

2227
01:35:39,694 --> 01:35:42,694
recently for his work on

2228
01:35:45,650 --> 01:35:47,650
overturning Measure c.

2229
01:35:49,703 --> 01:35:50,271
I'd like to say that I don't

2230
01:35:50,271 --> 01:35:52,671
keep chipping away at

2231
01:35:54,709 --> 01:35:55,410
Proposition d with issues like

2232
01:35:55,410 --> 01:35:56,440
Measure c If you and your

2233
01:35:56,440 --> 01:35:58,444
colleagues in the building

2234
01:35:59,881 --> 01:36:02,881
industry and the labor unions

2235
01:36:04,219 --> 01:36:04,819
don't like Proposition d, put

2236
01:36:04,819 --> 01:36:07,819
it on the ballot, give

2237
01:36:08,289 --> 01:36:12,489
the voters a chance to agree or

2238
01:36:13,762 --> 01:36:14,562
disagree with your position

2239
01:36:14,562 --> 01:36:15,262
that many of you have That

2240
01:36:15,262 --> 01:36:18,366
measure d should be voided and

2241
01:36:18,366 --> 01:36:21,366
that we should be approving

2242
01:36:23,171 --> 01:36:23,838
items like Measure c do not

2243
01:36:23,838 --> 01:36:25,306
take a piecemeal approach to

2244
01:36:25,306 --> 01:36:28,906
this issue as you did with

2245
01:36:30,912 --> 01:36:33,912
Measure c Most importantly what

2246
01:36:36,510 --> 01:36:36,851
you did with Measure c was you

2247
01:36:36,851 --> 01:36:39,851
put before voters an incomplete

2248
01:36:40,621 --> 01:36:41,221
analysis by any means by a

2249
01:36:41,221 --> 01:36:43,221
unanimous Supreme Court

2250
01:36:45,660 --> 01:36:46,361
decision that by any means of

2251
01:36:46,361 --> 01:36:48,361
interpretation deprived voters

2252
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:50,765
of the information that they

2253
01:36:50,765 --> 01:36:54,365
needed to know to make a

2254
01:36:54,602 --> 01:36:55,303
decision on measure c And you

2255
01:36:55,303 --> 01:36:59,503
did it twice not you the city

2256
01:36:59,573 --> 01:37:00,308
It wasn't I don't know

2257
01:37:00,308 --> 01:37:00,975
the extent to which the council

2258
01:37:00,975 --> 01:37:03,375
approved a supplemental each

2259
01:37:04,713 --> 01:37:05,480
year but you did have a chance

2260
01:37:05,480 --> 01:37:08,883
to take a position as Raul and

2261
01:37:08,883 --> 01:37:09,783
Vivian did when it came before

2262
01:37:09,783 --> 01:37:10,484
you to take it to the Supreme

2263
01:37:10,484 --> 01:37:10,819
Court and you decided to do it

2264
01:37:10,819 --> 01:37:12,200
anyway.

2265
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:12,554
Thank you for that Concluding

2266
01:37:12,554 --> 01:37:14,554
comment.

2267
01:37:22,297 --> 01:37:23,164
>> Lori Saldana So to continue

2268
01:37:23,164 --> 01:37:23,931
on what was just said I agree

2269
01:37:23,931 --> 01:37:27,531
that this was and I probably

2270
01:37:28,370 --> 01:37:29,104
submitted the wrong slip I

2271
01:37:29,104 --> 01:37:31,504
should have supported repealing

2272
01:37:32,274 --> 01:37:33,740
c but not for simply reasons of

2273
01:37:33,740 --> 01:37:36,740
height but also because frankly

2274
01:37:36,945 --> 01:37:37,646
local coastal program will

2275
01:37:37,646 --> 01:37:40,646
needs to recognize that rising

2276
01:37:41,782 --> 01:37:42,284
sea level is causing inundation

2277
01:37:42,284 --> 01:37:43,318
in this area.

2278
01:37:43,318 --> 01:37:46,621
So if you were going to be

2279
01:37:46,621 --> 01:37:47,288
honest with a consideration

2280
01:37:47,288 --> 01:37:49,257
with an environmental impact

2281
01:37:49,257 --> 01:37:51,657
report about building in

2282
01:37:54,729 --> 01:37:58,329
the Midway area, I don't think

2283
01:37:59,434 --> 01:38:00,100
you hit the mark on this And

2284
01:38:00,100 --> 01:38:00,902
the hazards are many.

2285
01:38:00,902 --> 01:38:04,205
This this area is not just a

2286
01:38:04,205 --> 01:38:05,730
matter of building too high.

2287
01:38:05,730 --> 01:38:08,730
It's a matter of having

2288
01:38:08,676 --> 01:38:11,760
liquefaction underneath it and

2289
01:38:13,181 --> 01:38:13,715
having an unsteady ground to

2290
01:38:13,715 --> 01:38:14,449
build anything upon.

2291
01:38:14,449 --> 01:38:17,852
So I'm sorry you repealing this

2292
01:38:17,852 --> 01:38:18,553
at a time when there are bills

2293
01:38:18,553 --> 01:38:19,254
going through the legislature

2294
01:38:19,254 --> 01:38:22,424
and I know I'll be interrupted

2295
01:38:22,424 --> 01:38:23,124
about that once again but it

2296
01:38:23,124 --> 01:38:23,692
you're an engineer you know

2297
01:38:23,692 --> 01:38:24,325
things are connected.

2298
01:38:24,325 --> 01:38:27,325
You can't have one without

2299
01:38:27,796 --> 01:38:28,462
the other And we can't have a

2300
01:38:28,462 --> 01:38:31,800
repeal at the local level if

2301
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:32,300
there's push to approve and

2302
01:38:32,300 --> 01:38:32,968
remove the height

2303
01:38:32,968 --> 01:38:33,268
considerations at the state

2304
01:38:33,268 --> 01:38:35,268
level.

2305
01:38:36,704 --> 01:38:37,405
So when this comes before MR.

2306
01:38:37,405 --> 01:38:41,500
Lee's committee in just a few

2307
01:38:41,476 --> 01:38:42,100
weeks there's going to be a

2308
01:38:42,100 --> 01:38:42,643
major contradiction.

2309
01:38:42,643 --> 01:38:43,378
The council is repealed on

2310
01:38:43,378 --> 01:38:46,881
the height but now the state is

2311
01:38:46,881 --> 01:38:47,482
working on saying the height

2312
01:38:47,482 --> 01:38:49,482
shouldn't be considered.

2313
01:38:51,286 --> 01:38:51,986
So you're you're setting

2314
01:38:51,986 --> 01:38:52,654
yourself into quite a quandary

2315
01:38:52,654 --> 01:38:56,254
here And I don't know how

2316
01:38:56,424 --> 01:38:56,758
you're going to figure this out

2317
01:38:56,758 --> 01:38:57,625
.

2318
01:38:57,625 --> 01:38:58,260
But what I do know if you go on

2319
01:38:58,260 --> 01:39:01,260
to another image I've lost

2320
01:39:01,362 --> 01:39:02,630
track of which images I've

2321
01:39:02,630 --> 01:39:02,764
submitted here This is already

2322
01:39:02,764 --> 01:39:05,764
happening in our coastal areas

2323
01:39:06,403 --> 01:39:06,868
The sea level does not respond

2324
01:39:06,868 --> 01:39:07,569
to legislation.

2325
01:39:07,569 --> 01:39:11,272
So MR. Lee, when you look at

2326
01:39:11,272 --> 01:39:12,700
this housing and land use,

2327
01:39:12,700 --> 01:39:15,700
consider water use also because

2328
01:39:16,100 --> 01:39:16,611
that is really what is at stake

2329
01:39:16,611 --> 01:39:19,611
if you're going to build

2330
01:39:21,490 --> 01:39:21,349
anything in these coastal areas

2331
01:39:21,349 --> 01:39:21,850
.

2332
01:39:21,850 --> 01:39:22,717
>> Thank you.

2333
01:39:22,717 --> 01:39:25,717
Allegedly order you were doing

2334
01:39:26,288 --> 01:39:26,955
so well you really nailed

2335
01:39:26,955 --> 01:39:27,856
the testimony for repealing

2336
01:39:27,856 --> 01:39:30,856
Measure c until right at

2337
01:39:32,694 --> 01:39:33,428
the end.

2338
01:39:33,428 --> 01:39:34,129
Obviously this is circumventing

2339
01:39:34,129 --> 01:39:37,729
the will of the people because

2340
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:39,100
the people voted to have this

2341
01:39:39,100 --> 01:39:39,968
be in place And it doesn't

2342
01:39:39,968 --> 01:39:43,400
matter if a judge rules a

2343
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:43,672
certain way, it can still be

2344
01:39:43,672 --> 01:39:44,372
illegal and it can still be

2345
01:39:44,372 --> 01:39:47,372
something that you guys push

2346
01:39:47,509 --> 01:39:48,142
back against because moving

2347
01:39:48,142 --> 01:39:48,677
forward with this would be

2348
01:39:48,677 --> 01:39:50,677
extremely negligent.

2349
01:39:52,713 --> 01:39:56,913
There is a lot of issues that

2350
01:39:56,985 --> 01:39:57,685
are not being addressed and no

2351
01:39:57,685 --> 01:40:00,685
offense to other speakers but

2352
01:40:01,356 --> 01:40:01,690
it's not that sea level is

2353
01:40:01,690 --> 01:40:02,524
rising.

2354
01:40:02,524 --> 01:40:06,228
It's going back to where it was

2355
01:40:06,228 --> 01:40:06,895
at one time because California

2356
01:40:06,895 --> 01:40:07,596
used to be an island

2357
01:40:07,596 --> 01:40:10,596
technically and the water has

2358
01:40:11,566 --> 01:40:12,234
been, you know, dammed up in

2359
01:40:12,234 --> 01:40:13,340
different things And so it's

2360
01:40:13,340 --> 01:40:16,337
just coming up to where it had

2361
01:40:16,337 --> 01:40:17,205
been prior to all of that.

2362
01:40:17,205 --> 01:40:17,973
And so to build on those types

2363
01:40:17,973 --> 01:40:21,573
of things and have the height

2364
01:40:21,676 --> 01:40:22,377
levels that are going to be

2365
01:40:22,377 --> 01:40:24,777
extremely high and potentially

2366
01:40:26,314 --> 01:40:26,915
I mean these things are going

2367
01:40:26,915 --> 01:40:27,616
to be blocking even just

2368
01:40:27,616 --> 01:40:31,216
the beach for some people but

2369
01:40:31,486 --> 01:40:32,120
it's dangerous to build on

2370
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:32,754
marshlands like that when

2371
01:40:32,754 --> 01:40:35,754
people claim that they are

2372
01:40:36,258 --> 01:40:37,240
going to be able to, you know,

2373
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:37,559
deal with the weight of it so

2374
01:40:37,559 --> 01:40:38,260
it wouldn't sink in.

2375
01:40:38,260 --> 01:40:38,660
But I don't think that that's

2376
01:40:38,660 --> 01:40:40,660
really true.

2377
01:40:40,861 --> 01:40:41,563
I believe that these unions

2378
01:40:41,563 --> 01:40:45,333
want the jobs and so they want

2379
01:40:45,333 --> 01:40:46,330
to go in and build but and

2380
01:40:46,330 --> 01:40:46,300
they're doing what their part

2381
01:40:46,300 --> 01:40:47,350
is.

2382
01:40:47,350 --> 01:40:50,350
But these engineers even though

2383
01:40:50,205 --> 01:40:50,905
they're saying they're going to

2384
01:40:50,905 --> 01:40:51,573
be putting posts down, it is

2385
01:40:51,573 --> 01:40:53,973
still putting the potential

2386
01:40:55,309 --> 01:40:55,777
danger of it being in like

2387
01:40:55,777 --> 01:40:56,645
with quicksand.

2388
01:40:56,645 --> 01:41:00,515
And so it's more of a public

2389
01:41:00,515 --> 01:41:01,249
safety issue as opposed to

2390
01:41:01,249 --> 01:41:04,849
anything else When you guys are

2391
01:41:04,919 --> 01:41:05,654
doing stuff like this And I

2392
01:41:05,654 --> 01:41:06,354
understand people want jobs and

2393
01:41:06,354 --> 01:41:09,491
you guys want housing but you

2394
01:41:09,491 --> 01:41:10,192
shouldn't be putting people in

2395
01:41:10,192 --> 01:41:10,759
danger just to do it and

2396
01:41:10,759 --> 01:41:12,759
repealing things that

2397
01:41:14,462 --> 01:41:15,630
the people voted for.

2398
01:41:15,630 --> 01:41:15,764
You say you represent

2399
01:41:15,764 --> 01:41:19,334
the people so if you're going

2400
01:41:19,334 --> 01:41:20,370
to repeal this then obviously

2401
01:41:20,370 --> 01:41:20,635
you don't because you're going

2402
01:41:20,635 --> 01:41:23,635
against what the will of

2403
01:41:24,773 --> 01:41:25,506
the people was So I mean you

2404
01:41:25,506 --> 01:41:26,308
guys need to really think about

2405
01:41:26,308 --> 01:41:28,877
that If you if you claim to

2406
01:41:28,877 --> 01:41:29,578
represent us then put your

2407
01:41:29,578 --> 01:41:30,245
money where your mouth is and

2408
01:41:30,245 --> 01:41:32,645
not just doing something

2409
01:41:34,382 --> 01:41:34,816
because it's going to benefit

2410
01:41:34,816 --> 01:41:35,250
construction.

2411
01:41:35,250 --> 01:41:35,883
>> Thank you.

2412
01:41:35,883 --> 01:41:36,618
That concludes your time.

2413
01:41:36,618 --> 01:41:38,820
I'm sorry The five minute timer

2414
01:41:38,820 --> 01:41:39,220
going to those participated

2415
01:41:39,220 --> 01:41:39,988
remotely.

2416
01:41:39,988 --> 01:41:42,724
Katherine Rhodes if you can

2417
01:41:42,724 --> 01:41:43,580
please unmute you'll have two

2418
01:41:43,580 --> 01:41:43,491
minutes.

2419
01:41:43,491 --> 01:41:45,491
>> Wonderful.

2420
01:41:47,661 --> 01:41:48,462
This is Katherine Rhodes and as

2421
01:41:48,462 --> 01:41:48,830
most of you know I'm a civil

2422
01:41:48,830 --> 01:41:50,830
engineer.

2423
01:41:51,700 --> 01:41:54,100
I have problems regarding

2424
01:41:56,704 --> 01:41:57,472
Midway Rising and the midway

2425
01:41:57,472 --> 01:42:00,472
area due to my concerns

2426
01:42:01,915 --> 01:42:02,477
regarding liquefaction,

2427
01:42:02,477 --> 01:42:03,178
regarding groundwater

2428
01:42:03,178 --> 01:42:05,578
intrusion, regarding the king

2429
01:42:07,916 --> 01:42:08,550
tides for waters actually and

2430
01:42:08,550 --> 01:42:09,250
sea level rise often we've

2431
01:42:09,250 --> 01:42:12,250
already talked about that this

2432
01:42:12,754 --> 01:42:13,455
is just a measure of c and

2433
01:42:13,455 --> 01:42:14,156
whether we should repeal it or

2434
01:42:14,156 --> 01:42:17,159
not write my agenda will give

2435
01:42:17,159 --> 01:42:17,425
you an opportunity to speak on

2436
01:42:17,425 --> 01:42:18,426
it.

2437
01:42:18,426 --> 01:42:21,830
I gave people a little bit of

2438
01:42:21,830 --> 01:42:25,430
leeway but let's just focus on

2439
01:42:26,568 --> 01:42:27,202
Measure c and not on

2440
01:42:27,202 --> 01:42:27,602
liquefaction or the ground

2441
01:42:27,602 --> 01:42:28,236
conditions.

2442
01:42:28,236 --> 01:42:31,236
Should we should we repeal

2443
01:42:31,373 --> 01:42:32,400
measure c or not?

2444
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,440
>> Oh I'm talking about

2445
01:42:35,710 --> 01:42:36,578
the reason why you have to

2446
01:42:36,578 --> 01:42:39,578
repeal Measure c is regarding

2447
01:42:40,948 --> 01:42:41,817
decision by the judge that told

2448
01:42:41,817 --> 01:42:45,417
you that you guys did not

2449
01:42:45,987 --> 01:42:46,321
analyze a whole bunch of

2450
01:42:46,321 --> 01:42:48,321
things.

2451
01:42:50,592 --> 01:42:51,293
>> One of the things that you

2452
01:42:51,293 --> 01:42:52,600
you know the only thing that

2453
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,600
San Diego has regarding sea

2454
01:42:55,897 --> 01:42:56,598
level rise is porous pavement

2455
01:42:56,598 --> 01:42:59,598
That is your mitigation force

2456
01:43:00,969 --> 01:43:03,739
for sea level rise that that is

2457
01:43:03,739 --> 01:43:05,739
incomplete.

2458
01:43:09,177 --> 01:43:09,678
Yes, of course you should This

2459
01:43:09,678 --> 01:43:10,278
should go forward.

2460
01:43:10,278 --> 01:43:13,278
It has to go forward.

2461
01:43:13,448 --> 01:43:14,149
It's a law.

2462
01:43:14,149 --> 01:43:17,149
It shouldn't have gone forward

2463
01:43:18,860 --> 01:43:18,687
in the first place because one

2464
01:43:18,687 --> 01:43:19,387
of the great things that

2465
01:43:19,387 --> 01:43:23,424
the Port of San Diego used to

2466
01:43:23,424 --> 01:43:24,292
have in their master plan is

2467
01:43:24,292 --> 01:43:27,895
that there had to be two levels

2468
01:43:27,895 --> 01:43:28,630
of underground parking or

2469
01:43:28,630 --> 01:43:31,630
basement under every project in

2470
01:43:32,768 --> 01:43:33,635
areas of let's look with viable

2471
01:43:33,635 --> 01:43:37,235
soils and a great example of

2472
01:43:37,973 --> 01:43:38,641
what to do in this area is

2473
01:43:38,641 --> 01:43:41,641
the Navy Broadway complex or

2474
01:43:42,544 --> 01:43:43,278
Manchester's Pacific Gateway.

2475
01:43:43,278 --> 01:43:46,278
Another great example that that

2476
01:43:46,882 --> 01:43:47,516
is used in San Diego is

2477
01:43:47,516 --> 01:43:49,516
the County Administration

2478
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:52,955
Center building that has two

2479
01:43:52,955 --> 01:43:53,555
levels of underground also

2480
01:43:53,555 --> 01:43:56,257
where what you do is you

2481
01:43:56,257 --> 01:43:56,758
actually get rid of

2482
01:43:56,758 --> 01:43:57,425
the liquefaction.

2483
01:43:57,425 --> 01:44:01,250
You guys don't even have any

2484
01:44:01,296 --> 01:44:02,264
type of engineering standards.

2485
01:44:02,264 --> 01:44:03,232
So yes, this is good to get rid

2486
01:44:03,232 --> 01:44:06,368
of but you also have to have

2487
01:44:06,368 --> 01:44:07,135
basic engineering Standard and

2488
01:44:07,135 --> 01:44:10,735
Poor's pavement is not you know

2489
01:44:11,106 --> 01:44:12,400
does not cut it.

2490
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:12,340
So you guys have a lot of work

2491
01:44:12,340 --> 01:44:14,340
to do.

2492
01:44:16,378 --> 01:44:17,179
Your time has concluded Just

2493
01:44:17,179 --> 01:44:17,913
did anybody think it odd that I

2494
01:44:17,913 --> 01:44:18,580
looked at the screen when I was

2495
01:44:18,580 --> 01:44:21,516
talking to MISS Rhodes She's

2496
01:44:21,516 --> 01:44:22,450
not up there.

2497
01:44:22,450 --> 01:44:26,500
Jeff Tutor if you can please

2498
01:44:30,158 --> 01:44:30,892
unmute Yeah, Thank you Counsel

2499
01:44:30,892 --> 01:44:34,492
You know obviously we just want

2500
01:44:35,497 --> 01:44:36,164
to be clear that the reason

2501
01:44:36,164 --> 01:44:38,564
we're repealing probably a

2502
01:44:40,701 --> 01:44:41,570
major c and restoring the high

2503
01:44:41,570 --> 01:44:44,606
limit is so we can exceed it by

2504
01:44:44,606 --> 01:44:45,207
other means which is either

2505
01:44:45,207 --> 01:44:47,607
going to happen to

2506
01:44:49,478 --> 01:44:50,445
the legislature or you know by

2507
01:44:50,445 --> 01:44:54,645
state law I just you know we

2508
01:44:55,830 --> 01:44:55,817
just need to be up front.

2509
01:44:55,817 --> 01:44:58,753
The goal here isn't really to

2510
01:44:58,753 --> 01:44:59,522
protect the height limit.

2511
01:44:59,522 --> 01:45:00,880
>> It's really to protect this

2512
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:02,880
Midway Rising project.

2513
01:45:03,224 --> 01:45:03,992
Thank you.

2514
01:45:03,992 --> 01:45:04,459
>> Next is Blaire Beekman if

2515
01:45:04,459 --> 01:45:06,459
you can please.

2516
01:45:08,262 --> 01:45:08,663
And you.

2517
01:45:08,663 --> 01:45:09,300
All right.

2518
01:45:09,300 --> 01:45:09,864
Thank you.

2519
01:45:09,864 --> 01:45:13,201
We're Beekman to weigh in on

2520
01:45:13,201 --> 01:45:13,869
the measure c issue and its

2521
01:45:13,869 --> 01:45:16,269
judgment I'm assuming from

2522
01:45:18,707 --> 01:45:19,374
Katherine's words words that

2523
01:45:19,374 --> 01:45:22,511
the judge he had many items

2524
01:45:22,511 --> 01:45:23,311
that he was addressing and why

2525
01:45:23,311 --> 01:45:26,982
he he made the decision that he

2526
01:45:26,982 --> 01:45:27,749
did possibly very much included

2527
01:45:27,749 --> 01:45:28,450
in that is the idea of sea

2528
01:45:28,450 --> 01:45:32,500
level rise issues that I think

2529
01:45:32,354 --> 01:45:33,550
has to be a part of the future

2530
01:45:33,550 --> 01:45:33,789
of this conversation and that

2531
01:45:33,789 --> 01:45:37,240
you guys are working on it on

2532
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:37,693
the state level you have a

2533
01:45:37,693 --> 01:45:38,393
vested interest to not talk

2534
01:45:38,393 --> 01:45:41,993
about sea level rise issue and

2535
01:45:42,970 --> 01:45:42,731
I hope that and when this item

2536
01:45:42,731 --> 01:45:45,731
comes up at council person

2537
01:45:46,268 --> 01:45:47,135
leave meeting in the future

2538
01:45:47,135 --> 01:45:47,769
that we can be allowed to have

2539
01:45:47,769 --> 01:45:50,169
a more open conversation.

2540
01:45:50,872 --> 01:45:51,639
I feel our current PRESIDENT Is

2541
01:45:51,639 --> 01:45:52,374
is being a little too narrow in

2542
01:45:52,374 --> 01:45:55,277
his definitions how we can talk

2543
01:45:55,277 --> 01:45:56,144
about this issue.

2544
01:45:56,144 --> 01:45:56,912
There is sea level rise that we

2545
01:45:56,912 --> 01:46:00,515
have to be able to talk about

2546
01:46:00,515 --> 01:46:01,116
more openly and clearly for

2547
01:46:01,116 --> 01:46:01,850
the future of this area.

2548
01:46:01,850 --> 01:46:04,250
It's an important conversation.

2549
01:46:05,854 --> 01:46:06,588
It needs to be open and not

2550
01:46:06,588 --> 01:46:07,256
just for this item but for our

2551
01:46:07,256 --> 01:46:09,656
environmental future of San

2552
01:46:09,958 --> 01:46:10,292
Diego how we address our issue

2553
01:46:10,292 --> 01:46:11,250
as well.

2554
01:46:11,250 --> 01:46:11,560
So good luck how we work on

2555
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:11,927
this issue together.

2556
01:46:11,927 --> 01:46:13,927
Thank you.

2557
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,296
An open Thank you John If you

2558
01:46:24,272 --> 01:46:25,700
can please unmute and and John

2559
01:46:25,700 --> 01:46:27,407
Brady lives experience advisors

2560
01:46:28,343 --> 01:46:29,770
I am calling in because I think

2561
01:46:29,770 --> 01:46:29,778
that the intent of this measure

2562
01:46:29,778 --> 01:46:33,480
was to remove the height limit

2563
01:46:33,480 --> 01:46:33,749
in areas that were not

2564
01:46:33,749 --> 01:46:36,149
necessarily beach adjacent and

2565
01:46:38,353 --> 01:46:39,221
and completely made sense as to

2566
01:46:39,221 --> 01:46:43,125
the legal I can't address but I

2567
01:46:43,125 --> 01:46:46,725
think the intent was you know

2568
01:46:47,563 --> 01:46:48,230
this is clearly not a near

2569
01:46:48,230 --> 01:46:48,697
beach area even though it's

2570
01:46:48,697 --> 01:46:50,697
near marshland.

2571
01:46:52,701 --> 01:46:53,468
I really struggle with the fact

2572
01:46:53,468 --> 01:46:54,336
that we would not be able to

2573
01:46:54,336 --> 01:46:57,472
build in what is clearly semi

2574
01:46:57,472 --> 01:46:58,240
industrial area.

2575
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:01,240
So I would vote against

2576
01:47:05,847 --> 01:47:06,815
repealing Measure c thank you

2577
01:47:06,815 --> 01:47:09,815
next 27499 if you can please

2578
01:47:11,860 --> 01:47:13,860
unmute.

2579
01:47:16,258 --> 01:47:17,125
Bob Kozinski here.

2580
01:47:17,125 --> 01:47:17,693
I just want to express my

2581
01:47:17,693 --> 01:47:20,930
disgust of Joe LaCava

2582
01:47:20,661 --> 01:47:21,265
demonstrating his disregard for

2583
01:47:21,265 --> 01:47:21,797
the public by repeatedly

2584
01:47:21,797 --> 01:47:22,230
cutting people off.

2585
01:47:22,230 --> 01:47:24,230
>> Thank you.

2586
01:47:25,660 --> 01:47:28,666
Coming No Vega If you can

2587
01:47:29,705 --> 01:47:30,472
please unmute regarding

2588
01:47:30,472 --> 01:47:33,472
the Vega district eight I

2589
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:34,776
didn't do as much research

2590
01:47:34,776 --> 01:47:38,146
necessarily on this but I did

2591
01:47:38,146 --> 01:47:38,847
want to just point out that

2592
01:47:38,847 --> 01:47:39,448
something that someone said in

2593
01:47:39,448 --> 01:47:40,182
person that just because

2594
01:47:40,182 --> 01:47:43,182
something is legal doesn't mean

2595
01:47:43,752 --> 01:47:46,152
it's right but definitely

2596
01:47:48,257 --> 01:47:48,924
trying to consider who is going

2597
01:47:48,924 --> 01:47:52,524
to be most affected by this

2598
01:47:53,929 --> 01:47:57,529
based on the areas where Well

2599
01:47:58,200 --> 01:47:58,500
will this will affect Thank

2600
01:47:58,500 --> 01:47:59,267
you.

2601
01:47:59,267 --> 01:48:02,267
>> Thank you Then Amanda, if

2602
01:48:02,471 --> 01:48:04,871
you can please unmute.

2603
01:48:07,577 --> 01:48:07,910
>> Hi, Good afternoon City

2604
01:48:07,910 --> 01:48:08,377
Council.

2605
01:48:08,377 --> 01:48:10,377
>> Welcome back.

2606
01:48:12,881 --> 01:48:13,549
And so I take a few minutes

2607
01:48:13,549 --> 01:48:16,549
this morning to look through

2608
01:48:17,152 --> 01:48:17,753
ruling from the Superior Court

2609
01:48:17,753 --> 01:48:18,454
because I really wasn't

2610
01:48:18,454 --> 01:48:21,454
familiar with the whole court

2611
01:48:22,223 --> 01:48:25,823
process about Measure c And so

2612
01:48:26,561 --> 01:48:27,529
from what I understand is that

2613
01:48:27,529 --> 01:48:30,529
you guys put a dangerous

2614
01:48:32,701 --> 01:48:36,772
measure on for up for a vote

2615
01:48:36,772 --> 01:48:37,439
without considering

2616
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:37,773
the important environmental

2617
01:48:37,773 --> 01:48:38,340
impacts.

2618
01:48:38,340 --> 01:48:41,210
I'm going to read from

2619
01:48:41,210 --> 01:48:41,743
the court ruling We will

2620
01:48:41,743 --> 01:48:42,444
reverse an agency's

2621
01:48:42,444 --> 01:48:44,444
determination regarding school

2622
01:48:46,281 --> 01:48:46,882
compliance only where there was

2623
01:48:46,882 --> 01:48:49,282
a prejudicial abuse of

2624
01:48:50,585 --> 01:48:51,185
discretion applying

2625
01:48:51,185 --> 01:48:51,886
the environmental impact

2626
01:48:51,886 --> 01:48:54,886
reports at ground water levels

2627
01:48:55,758 --> 01:48:56,425
which are expected to be near

2628
01:48:56,425 --> 01:48:57,158
sea level throughout most of

2629
01:48:57,158 --> 01:49:00,158
the Midway Pacific Highway area

2630
01:49:00,996 --> 01:49:01,663
can result in response to

2631
01:49:01,663 --> 01:49:01,997
changes in precipitation and

2632
01:49:01,997 --> 01:49:03,997
runoff.

2633
01:49:05,768 --> 01:49:06,468
As a result, the environment

2634
01:49:06,468 --> 01:49:07,169
Impact report recognized most

2635
01:49:07,169 --> 01:49:10,169
of the Midway Pacific Highway

2636
01:49:10,572 --> 01:49:11,273
area has a high potential for

2637
01:49:11,273 --> 01:49:13,673
liquefaction because the area

2638
01:49:16,145 --> 01:49:16,779
has shallow groundwater or

2639
01:49:16,779 --> 01:49:19,179
major drain drainages and

2640
01:49:20,616 --> 01:49:21,316
hydraulic spills.

2641
01:49:21,316 --> 01:49:22,183
I'm really disappointed that

2642
01:49:22,183 --> 01:49:25,687
and again I know we need more

2643
01:49:25,687 --> 01:49:26,388
housing.

2644
01:49:26,388 --> 01:49:26,722
We need more affordable

2645
01:49:26,722 --> 01:49:27,422
housing.

2646
01:49:27,422 --> 01:49:27,756
We don't need any more luxury

2647
01:49:27,756 --> 01:49:29,756
housing.

2648
01:49:30,359 --> 01:49:31,193
We have quite enough of that.

2649
01:49:31,193 --> 01:49:31,860
But I just wanted to say that

2650
01:49:31,860 --> 01:49:34,260
I'm really disappointed that

2651
01:49:34,897 --> 01:49:35,497
this ever got put up for a vote

2652
01:49:35,497 --> 01:49:36,640
and that you guys were

2653
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:38,640
practicing prejudicial

2654
01:49:40,269 --> 01:49:40,869
prejudicial abuse of discretion

2655
01:49:40,869 --> 01:49:41,270
and lying to the voters.

2656
01:49:41,270 --> 01:49:43,270
That's all.

2657
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:44,807
Thanks.

2658
01:49:44,807 --> 01:49:45,440
Thank you.

2659
01:49:45,440 --> 01:49:46,800
That does conclude public

2660
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:48,408
comment on this item.

2661
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:49,778
All right.

2662
01:49:49,778 --> 01:49:52,778
>> Thank you city Clerk And

2663
01:49:54,216 --> 01:49:54,982
thank you to the comments.

2664
01:49:54,982 --> 01:49:56,218
If anyone is curious about my

2665
01:49:56,218 --> 01:49:59,218
feelings about the course I'll

2666
01:50:01,390 --> 01:50:03,390
limit and Sacramento's

2667
01:50:05,594 --> 01:50:05,961
intrusion on local land use

2668
01:50:05,961 --> 01:50:06,562
authority.

2669
01:50:06,562 --> 01:50:09,562
I think I've been pretty

2670
01:50:10,432 --> 01:50:11,233
eloquent on that But there's

2671
01:50:11,233 --> 01:50:11,934
also going to be an opportunity

2672
01:50:11,934 --> 01:50:15,904
to speak on some of the issues

2673
01:50:15,904 --> 01:50:16,605
that I think is pent up in this

2674
01:50:16,605 --> 01:50:17,206
chambers on non agenda public

2675
01:50:17,206 --> 01:50:20,206
comment and of course on

2676
01:50:20,509 --> 01:50:20,843
project specific opportunities

2677
01:50:20,843 --> 01:50:21,576
.

2678
01:50:21,576 --> 01:50:25,176
So I look forward to hearing

2679
01:50:25,283 --> 01:50:25,981
from you And with that we'll

2680
01:50:25,981 --> 01:50:26,682
turn over to the Council for

2681
01:50:26,682 --> 01:50:29,820
questions comments entertain a

2682
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:30,785
motion and we'll start out with

2683
01:50:30,785 --> 01:50:31,453
the council member representing

2684
01:50:31,453 --> 01:50:31,954
District two which is where

2685
01:50:31,954 --> 01:50:33,954
Midway is located.

2686
01:50:34,690 --> 01:50:37,690
Council member Kim Thank you.

2687
01:50:39,294 --> 01:50:39,928
>> Council PRESIDENT Thank you

2688
01:50:39,928 --> 01:50:40,662
guys for the presentation.

2689
01:50:40,662 --> 01:50:44,265
I think we're all a little bit

2690
01:50:44,265 --> 01:50:44,833
sad those of us who are

2691
01:50:44,833 --> 01:50:46,833
interested in making

2692
01:50:47,770 --> 01:50:48,503
the biggest housing development

2693
01:50:48,503 --> 01:50:52,641
in one place that the state has

2694
01:50:52,641 --> 01:50:53,341
seen including half the living

2695
01:50:53,341 --> 01:50:55,341
arrangements being affordable.

2696
01:50:56,979 --> 01:50:57,780
However, the court has ruled

2697
01:50:57,780 --> 01:51:01,380
and we have exhausted all legal

2698
01:51:02,117 --> 01:51:02,884
appeals Our case was not taken

2699
01:51:02,884 --> 01:51:03,452
by the Supreme Court and so

2700
01:51:03,452 --> 01:51:05,852
we're stuck with what

2701
01:51:07,155 --> 01:51:07,856
the superior Court ruled and we

2702
01:51:07,856 --> 01:51:11,456
must abide by the court's writ

2703
01:51:12,294 --> 01:51:12,895
of mandate because we believe

2704
01:51:12,895 --> 01:51:15,895
in following the law and

2705
01:51:16,465 --> 01:51:17,232
because of the writ of mandate

2706
01:51:17,232 --> 01:51:17,899
which says we must remove this

2707
01:51:17,899 --> 01:51:20,299
language from the municipal

2708
01:51:22,103 --> 01:51:22,805
code by amending Measure c with

2709
01:51:22,805 --> 01:51:25,805
this amendment the only effect

2710
01:51:26,875 --> 01:51:27,742
our Midwood District we must do

2711
01:51:27,742 --> 01:51:31,714
it and if we don't we will be

2712
01:51:31,714 --> 01:51:32,548
in contempt of court.

2713
01:51:32,548 --> 01:51:33,181
And when we're in contempt of

2714
01:51:33,181 --> 01:51:36,552
court we open the city to

2715
01:51:36,552 --> 01:51:37,319
tremendous numbers of fines

2716
01:51:37,319 --> 01:51:40,919
which we can ill afford and

2717
01:51:41,690 --> 01:51:42,258
besides which is good citizens

2718
01:51:42,258 --> 01:51:42,624
who even disagree with

2719
01:51:42,624 --> 01:51:44,624
the court.

2720
01:51:47,196 --> 01:51:47,830
We still think that we must

2721
01:51:47,830 --> 01:51:48,530
follow the court's orders

2722
01:51:48,530 --> 01:51:51,500
because that is the law And so

2723
01:51:51,500 --> 01:51:52,266
therefore I move the staff

2724
01:51:52,266 --> 01:51:55,266
recommendation to do so as

2725
01:51:56,905 --> 01:51:57,206
ordered by the court and I so

2726
01:51:57,206 --> 01:51:57,639
move.

2727
01:51:57,639 --> 01:51:58,306
>> Thank you.

2728
01:51:58,306 --> 01:51:58,941
Council PRESIDENT All right.

2729
01:51:58,941 --> 01:52:01,341
Thank you Council members.

2730
01:52:01,409 --> 01:52:02,110
So we have a motion by Council

2731
01:52:02,110 --> 01:52:02,611
member Campbell to move

2732
01:52:02,611 --> 01:52:04,611
the staff recommendation

2733

2736
01:52:13,789 --> 01:52:14,556
the lights call a vote.

2737
01:52:14,556 --> 01:52:15,257
We have a motion by council

2738
01:52:15,257 --> 01:52:18,257

>> All righty.

2799
01:54:01,563 --> 01:54:02,263
All right.

2800
01:54:02,263 --> 01:54:05,263
My name is Jeff Bartlett.

2801
01:54:05,901 --> 01:54:06,669
i reside down in Tijuana.

2802
01:54:06,669 --> 01:54:07,336
I do commute across the border

2803
01:54:07,336 --> 01:54:10,936
to work security out here in

2804
01:54:11,340 --> 01:54:12,208
downtown San Diego.

2805
01:54:12,208 --> 01:54:12,941
I'm in a leadership supervisor

2806
01:54:12,941 --> 01:54:16,541
position out here and I'm going

2807
01:54:17,213 --> 01:54:17,847
to address some concerns I have

2808
01:54:17,847 --> 01:54:20,847
about how sd pd responds.

2809
01:54:22,718 --> 01:54:23,385
I mean we have the lack of

2810
01:54:23,385 --> 01:54:25,785
community policing out here

2811
01:54:27,556 --> 01:54:28,290
long sd pd response times I can

2812
01:54:28,290 --> 01:54:29,230
go an entire shift without them

2813
01:54:29,230 --> 01:54:32,230
showing up and dispatchers can

2814
01:54:33,295 --> 01:54:33,596
get kind of unprofessional at

2815
01:54:33,596 --> 01:54:34,230
times.

2816
01:54:34,230 --> 01:54:37,830
I don't like how the city

2817
01:54:38,334 --> 01:54:39,101
police will send the entire

2818
01:54:39,101 --> 01:54:39,768
squad out to arrest like one

2819
01:54:39,768 --> 01:54:40,635
unarmed person but then they

2820
01:54:40,635 --> 01:54:44,340
don't show up when I call them

2821
01:54:44,340 --> 01:54:45,740
in for something in other

2822
01:54:45,740 --> 01:54:45,908
states sometimes you might only

2823
01:54:45,908 --> 01:54:48,908
need 1 or 2 officers to arrest

2824
01:54:49,778 --> 01:54:50,646
someone.

2825
01:54:50,646 --> 01:54:51,379
Also I think we need a better

2826
01:54:51,379 --> 01:54:54,379
system to report crimes instead

2827
01:54:56,180 --> 01:54:56,719
of your online system to report

2828
01:54:56,719 --> 01:54:59,119
crimes because that's limited.

2829
01:55:01,524 --> 01:55:02,291
So if you don't know the person

2830
01:55:02,291 --> 01:55:02,958
I think San Diego clean and

2831
01:55:02,958 --> 01:55:03,926
safe has a system where you

2832
01:55:03,926 --> 01:55:07,630
know you can take a picture and

2833
01:55:07,630 --> 01:55:08,330
report things maybe the city

2834
01:55:08,330 --> 01:55:08,697
police should adopt something

2835
01:55:08,697 --> 01:55:10,697
like that.

2836
01:55:13,969 --> 01:55:14,636
But I running low on time here

2837
01:55:14,636 --> 01:55:14,970
But I do want to point a few

2838
01:55:14,970 --> 01:55:15,738
things.

2839
01:55:15,738 --> 01:55:18,974
I think we need some dui

2840
01:55:18,974 --> 01:55:19,575
checkpoints on Fourth Avenue

2841
01:55:19,575 --> 01:55:20,276
where Gaslamp Quarter is

2842
01:55:20,276 --> 01:55:22,676
especially near large parking

2843
01:55:25,314 --> 01:55:26,181
garages.

2844
01:55:26,181 --> 01:55:26,816
I think we need to crack down

2845
01:55:26,816 --> 01:55:30,416
on the drugs in the city.

2846
01:55:31,754 --> 01:55:32,455
I mean trolley stops like Fifth

2847
01:55:32,455 --> 01:55:35,455
Avenue and 12 in Imperial even

2848
01:55:37,259 --> 01:55:37,960
here at Civic Center you have

2849
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:38,460
people hanging out using drugs

2850
01:55:38,460 --> 01:55:40,460
near the trolleys.

2851
01:55:42,598 --> 01:55:43,466
i think the city needs to crack

2852
01:55:43,466 --> 01:55:44,333
down on the drugs in this city

2853
01:55:44,333 --> 01:55:47,933
and we need to also find

2854
01:55:49,805 --> 01:55:50,506
resources to assist and help

2855
01:55:50,506 --> 01:55:51,207
our homeless people so they're

2856
01:55:51,207 --> 01:55:54,207
not getting arrested and then

2857
01:55:54,877 --> 01:55:55,644
coming back out on the streets

2858
01:55:55,644 --> 01:55:56,345
,find ways to rehabilitate

2859
01:55:56,345 --> 01:55:56,946
them And I am running low on

2860
01:55:56,946 --> 01:55:59,815
time So thank you for

2861
01:55:59,815 --> 01:56:00,282
the opportunity to speak.

2862
01:56:00,282 --> 01:56:02,282
Thank you.

2863
01:56:06,888 --> 01:56:07,356
Next is Charlie.

2864
01:56:07,356 --> 01:56:09,356
Good afternoon.

2865
01:56:12,995 --> 01:56:13,730
My name is Charlene El and I am

2866
01:56:13,730 --> 01:56:14,363
here on behalf of the San Diego

2867
01:56:14,363 --> 01:56:14,997
Committee on Employment of

2868
01:56:14,997 --> 01:56:16,997
People with Disabilities.

2869
01:56:18,701 --> 01:56:19,335
I am the chair and ceo.

2870
01:56:19,335 --> 01:56:19,969
Each OCTOBER our committee

2871
01:56:19,969 --> 01:56:20,670
hosted OCTOBER 1st one of

2872
01:56:20,670 --> 01:56:23,700
the largest disability focused

2873
01:56:25,841 --> 01:56:28,841
job bears in California serving

2874
01:56:29,712 --> 01:56:30,412
up to 1500 job seekers annually

2875
01:56:30,412 --> 01:56:31,147
For the past 27 years this

2876
01:56:31,147 --> 01:56:31,881
event has connected individuals

2877
01:56:31,881 --> 01:56:34,281
with disabilities to employment

2878
01:56:36,151 --> 01:56:36,785
opportunities and economic

2879
01:56:36,785 --> 01:56:37,452
independence which remains

2880
01:56:37,452 --> 01:56:39,452
especially important giving

2881
01:56:41,690 --> 01:56:42,258
the disproportionate high

2882
01:56:42,258 --> 01:56:42,891
unemployment rate with

2883
01:56:42,891 --> 01:56:43,592
the disability community.

2884
01:56:43,592 --> 01:56:47,192
For the last 20 years we have

2885
01:56:48,931 --> 01:56:49,632
been honored to hold you

2886
01:56:49,632 --> 01:56:50,366
OCTOBER 1st at the Balboa Park

2887
01:56:50,366 --> 01:56:53,966
Club and we are deeply grateful

2888
01:56:54,300 --> 01:56:54,670
to the City of San Diego for

2889
01:56:54,670 --> 01:56:55,337
its longstanding partnership

2890
01:56:55,337 --> 01:56:55,737
and generosity in providing

2891
01:56:55,737 --> 01:56:56,439
this venue.

2892
01:56:56,439 --> 01:56:58,839
While we sincerely appreciate

2893
01:56:59,709 --> 01:57:00,443
the city support, we

2894
01:57:00,443 --> 01:57:01,109
respectfully ask the Council to

2895
01:57:01,109 --> 01:57:03,509
consider the intended impact

2896
01:57:06,115 --> 01:57:06,849
that recently implemented

2897
01:57:06,849 --> 01:57:07,550
parking fees in Balboa Park MAY

2898
01:57:07,550 --> 01:57:10,550
have on attendance this event

2899
01:57:11,353 --> 01:57:12,540
this year Many city residents

2900
01:57:12,540 --> 01:57:15,540
with disabilities MAY not have

2901
01:57:16,759 --> 01:57:17,426
had an opportunity or ability

2902
01:57:17,426 --> 01:57:18,940
to register in advance for

2903
01:57:18,940 --> 01:57:18,426
the resident parking waiver

2904
01:57:18,426 --> 01:57:19,128
program.

2905
01:57:19,128 --> 01:57:23,328
I can also share that we have

2906
01:57:23,465 --> 01:57:24,200
received reports from community

2907
01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:24,867
members that the parking waiver

2908
01:57:24,867 --> 01:57:27,267
registration process can be

2909
01:57:29,500 --> 01:57:29,605
difficult to navigate even with

2910
01:57:29,605 --> 01:57:30,239
eligible city residents

2911
01:57:30,239 --> 01:57:30,806
Challenges with obtaining

2912
01:57:30,806 --> 01:57:32,806
information completing

2913
01:57:35,611 --> 01:57:36,345
the process and sharing

2914
01:57:36,345 --> 01:57:37,460
the waiver registration process

2915
01:57:37,460 --> 01:57:37,713
can be difficult to navigate.

2916
01:57:37,713 --> 01:57:41,913
So I see I'm running out of

2917
01:57:42,351 --> 01:57:42,818
time and we have contacted city

2918
01:57:42,818 --> 01:57:43,519
council members.

2919
01:57:43,519 --> 01:57:46,519
We have contacted the mayor's

2920
01:57:49,580 --> 01:57:49,692
office and this is going to be

2921
01:57:49,692 --> 01:57:50,359
a challenge in OCTOBER on

2922
01:57:50,359 --> 01:57:50,793
the seventh for people with

2923
01:57:50,793 --> 01:57:52,793
disabilities.

2924
01:57:54,363 --> 01:57:56,763
So we have typically 75

2925
01:57:58,867 --> 01:57:59,668
employers, 60 volunteers and

2926
01:57:59,668 --> 01:58:00,369
upwards of 1500 job seekers And

2927
01:58:00,369 --> 01:58:00,903
again most of our job seekers

2928
01:58:00,903 --> 01:58:02,903
don't have physical

2929
01:58:05,207 --> 01:58:05,941
disabilities but mental and

2930
01:58:05,941 --> 01:58:06,509
intellectual disabilities which

2931
01:58:06,509 --> 01:58:08,909
will affect them with

2932
01:58:10,746 --> 01:58:11,514
the parking.

2933
01:58:11,514 --> 01:58:12,315
Larry Saldana If you can please

2934
01:58:12,315 --> 01:58:15,315
come forward I understand you

2935
01:58:17,530 --> 01:58:17,419
have some materials to share.

2936
01:58:17,419 --> 01:58:18,354
Thank you.

2937
01:58:18,354 --> 01:58:21,954
So now I think we can

2938
01:58:22,223 --> 01:58:22,959
unencumbered discuss

2939
01:58:22,959 --> 01:58:23,793
the challenge of sea level rise

2940
01:58:23,793 --> 01:58:27,393
in our coastal areas and in

2941
01:58:29,264 --> 01:58:29,999
particular one that is being

2942
01:58:29,999 --> 01:58:32,999
scheduled or being discussed as

2943
01:58:35,604 --> 01:58:36,338
dense high housing.

2944
01:58:36,338 --> 01:58:37,390
If that does come before a

2945
01:58:37,390 --> 01:58:37,806
council committee I hope that

2946
01:58:37,806 --> 01:58:40,743
you can go to the next slide

2947
01:58:40,743 --> 01:58:41,610
please.

2948
01:58:41,610 --> 01:58:42,311
You will take into account what

2949
01:58:42,311 --> 01:58:45,311
other cities are doing to

2950
01:58:47,116 --> 01:58:47,850
combat the tide That is

2951
01:58:47,850 --> 01:58:48,250
overwhelming our infrastructure

2952
01:58:48,250 --> 01:58:48,884
as we speak.

2953
01:58:48,884 --> 01:58:51,884
This is not a future

2954
01:58:52,955 --> 01:58:53,556
consideration and this is only

2955
01:58:53,556 --> 01:58:54,256
the words that we see on

2956
01:58:54,256 --> 01:58:54,890
the surface What is happening

2957
01:58:54,890 --> 01:58:57,890
below ground is even more

2958
01:58:58,360 --> 01:58:59,950
troubling and more challenging

2959
01:58:59,950 --> 01:58:59,662
when it comes to adding housing

2960
01:58:59,662 --> 01:59:00,396
to the coastal areas.

2961
01:59:00,396 --> 01:59:02,796
The Storm Stormwater Department

2962
01:59:05,660 --> 01:59:05,835
is aware of this.

2963
01:59:05,835 --> 01:59:06,536
They have gone out and welded

2964
01:59:06,536 --> 01:59:07,690
the storm water covered sheet

2965
01:59:07,690 --> 01:59:09,469
and the pressure of

2966
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:11,306
the incoming tide is still

2967
01:59:11,306 --> 01:59:11,907
getting out because the sea

2968
01:59:11,907 --> 01:59:14,307
level rise is exceeding

2969
01:59:17,313 --> 01:59:17,646
the height of the storm water

2970
01:59:17,646 --> 01:59:18,313
system.

2971
01:59:18,313 --> 01:59:19,140
And I know you're getting a

2972
01:59:19,140 --> 01:59:22,217
report on that very soon as we

2973
01:59:22,217 --> 01:59:22,784
go on to the next images.

2974
01:59:22,784 --> 01:59:23,152
Saltwater is extremely

2975
01:59:23,152 --> 01:59:25,152
corrosive.

2976
01:59:29,125 --> 01:59:29,792
It is destroying you can see

2977
01:59:29,792 --> 01:59:30,192
the really rough surface of

2978
01:59:30,192 --> 01:59:30,826
the streets.

2979
01:59:30,826 --> 01:59:34,426
This is the end of Mission

2980
01:59:34,863 --> 01:59:35,463
Boulevard And again, this is

2981
01:59:35,463 --> 01:59:35,865
only what you see on

2982
01:59:35,865 --> 01:59:36,565
the surface.

2983
01:59:36,565 --> 01:59:39,565
What's going on below surface

2984
01:59:40,302 --> 01:59:40,970
is in the case of Mission Beach

2985
01:59:40,970 --> 01:59:41,670
their sewage and wastewater

2986
01:59:41,670 --> 01:59:45,270
system is at serious repair or

2987
01:59:46,242 --> 01:59:46,741
needs serious repairs.

2988
01:59:46,741 --> 01:59:47,443
Next slide please.

2989
01:59:47,443 --> 01:59:47,910
And just for standing water it

2990
01:59:47,910 --> 01:59:49,910
gets quite deep.

2991
01:59:52,648 --> 01:59:53,316
Next slide.

2992
01:59:53,316 --> 01:59:54,160
And I guess I.

2993
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:57,160
I submitted several things I

2994
01:59:58,540 --> 01:59:58,888
don't recall exactly which ones

2995
01:59:58,888 --> 01:59:59,621
but I am repeating this because

2996
01:59:59,621 --> 02:00:00,222
I don't think that it is being

2997
02:00:00,222 --> 02:00:02,222
taken seriously enough.

2998
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:05,161
I realize you were preparing

2999
02:00:05,161 --> 02:00:05,827
for El Nino.

3000
02:00:05,827 --> 02:00:06,128
You were talking about storm

3001
02:00:06,128 --> 02:00:06,729
water.

3002
02:00:06,729 --> 02:00:09,729
This is not storm water.

3003
02:00:10,766 --> 02:00:11,434
This is simply high water in

3004
02:00:11,434 --> 02:00:12,134
the ground that is going to

3005
02:00:12,134 --> 02:00:12,434
continue to rise with the sea

3006
02:00:12,434 --> 02:00:14,434
level.

3007
02:00:17,173 --> 02:00:17,873
We need to learn from Rotterdam

3008
02:00:17,873 --> 02:00:18,574
and other coastal cities and I

3009
02:00:18,574 --> 02:00:21,310
will continue to come back and

3010
02:00:21,310 --> 02:00:21,777
introduce that in the future.

3011
02:00:21,777 --> 02:00:22,278
>> Thank you.

3012
02:00:22,278 --> 02:00:24,278
Thank you, Joyce.

3013
02:00:27,983 --> 02:00:31,583
Again, it first of all I

3014
02:00:34,222 --> 02:00:34,924
support San Diego Police

3015
02:00:34,924 --> 02:00:35,658
Department's work to keep our

3016
02:00:35,658 --> 02:00:39,258
people safe and the results are

3017
02:00:39,662 --> 02:00:40,530
in.

3018
02:00:40,530 --> 02:00:43,530
Crime continues to decrease and

3019
02:00:46,536 --> 02:00:47,236
keep our beautiful city at

3020
02:00:47,236 --> 02:00:47,737
the top of the list as one of

3021
02:00:47,737 --> 02:00:49,737
the safest cities.

3022
02:00:52,808 --> 02:00:53,609
Dear Public I'm sure some of

3023
02:00:53,609 --> 02:00:56,609
you have read this past

3024
02:00:58,514 --> 02:01:01,514
Monday's usa Today front page

3025
02:01:04,353 --> 02:01:05,120
article on flock safety.

3026
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:05,821
After reading it I spent about

3027
02:01:05,821 --> 02:01:08,221
two hours Googling information

3028
02:01:09,959 --> 02:01:10,626
on Flock safety With the large

3029
02:01:10,626 --> 02:01:13,260
outpouring of public concern

3030
02:01:16,399 --> 02:01:17,265
about the use of this

3031
02:01:17,265 --> 02:01:20,265
technology like safety has made

3032
02:01:22,271 --> 02:01:22,939
the necessary changes to help

3033
02:01:22,939 --> 02:01:23,639
people feel more comfortable

3034
02:01:23,639 --> 02:01:27,839
and safe as as the people move

3035
02:01:28,544 --> 02:01:29,312
around living their lives.

3036
02:01:29,312 --> 02:01:32,912
Our whole nation is affected by

3037
02:01:34,617 --> 02:01:35,318

3040
02:01:40,789 --> 02:01:41,390

3058
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:24,666
day.

>> Welcome back, everybody.

3060
02:02:25,330 --> 02:02:27,330
Thank you.

3061
02:02:31,274 --> 02:02:31,974
Irene Ramirez is a second

3062
02:02:31,974 --> 02:02:34,974
assistant here on location and

3063
02:02:38,547 --> 02:02:39,147
that is Cortez.

3064
02:02:39,147 --> 02:02:39,815
We're impressed about

3065
02:02:39,815 --> 02:02:41,818
the timing of those those

3066
02:02:41,818 --> 02:02:43,818
comments.

3067
02:02:49,525 --> 02:02:50,930
We know and what they will

3068
02:02:50,930 --> 02:02:50,960
because they are key.

3069
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:52,962
They can be read into your

3070
02:02:52,962 --> 02:02:53,830
table.

3071
02:02:53,830 --> 02:02:54,530
The reason that I'm here is a

3072
02:02:54,530 --> 02:02:57,530
little bit different than what

3073
02:03:01,300 --> 02:03:01,704
I thought.

3074
02:03:01,704 --> 02:03:02,438
Meramec have portion this year

3075
02:03:02,438 --> 02:03:04,740
an opportunity though they have

3076
02:03:04,740 --> 02:03:05,740
a lot of they looking for

3077
02:03:05,740 --> 02:03:05,908
things.

3078
02:03:05,908 --> 02:03:06,642
But I stayed because I was told

3079
02:03:06,642 --> 02:03:10,242
I have the opportunity to speak

3080
02:03:13,582 --> 02:03:14,116
about what is before what I

3081
02:03:14,116 --> 02:03:14,950
want to speak about.

3082
02:03:14,950 --> 02:03:18,550
If any the problem of up

3083
02:03:18,621 --> 02:03:19,222
tomorrow I will lay low.

3084
02:03:19,222 --> 02:03:19,989
I've been having several

3085
02:03:19,989 --> 02:03:22,989
problems with my invoices for

3086
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:23,793
my water bill.

3087
02:03:23,793 --> 02:03:26,793
They are what I'm doing.

3088
02:03:30,533 --> 02:03:30,933
And with the doubling of water

3089
02:03:30,933 --> 02:03:31,234
as well.

3090
02:03:31,234 --> 02:03:33,234
Okay.

3091
02:03:36,105 --> 02:03:36,606
And I will not let them go.

3092
02:03:36,606 --> 02:03:37,573
They'll be 23.

3093
02:03:37,573 --> 02:03:40,676
The other thing we want to do

3094
02:03:40,676 --> 02:03:41,277
the meals budget.

3095
02:03:41,277 --> 02:03:42,110
The first one is with

3096
02:03:42,110 --> 02:03:45,547
the property that I have that's

3097
02:03:45,547 --> 02:03:46,415
a duplex that I received in

3098
02:03:46,415 --> 02:03:48,815
2023 an invoice for $1,068 or

3099
02:03:52,455 --> 02:03:55,455
lengthy phase that will help

3100
02:03:56,692 --> 02:03:57,600
them for their metering take

3101
02:03:57,600 --> 02:03:57,794
courtroom.

3102
02:03:57,794 --> 02:04:01,394
And then last month I received

3103
02:04:03,433 --> 02:04:04,133
another invoice for the same

3104
02:04:04,133 --> 02:04:06,533
property for 1034 and can

3105
02:04:07,836 --> 02:04:12,360
always ask for us and can send

3106
02:04:13,176 --> 02:04:13,976
me that.

3107
02:04:13,976 --> 02:04:14,644
I don't see the reason of why

3108
02:04:14,644 --> 02:04:15,343
these two different invoices

3109
02:04:15,343 --> 02:04:18,943
give us losses on them Looking

3110
02:04:19,150 --> 02:04:22,150
at those dollars Million that

3111
02:04:23,820 --> 02:04:24,553
both of them are coming out to

3112
02:04:24,553 --> 02:04:25,288
1500 the two different invoices

3113
02:04:25,288 --> 02:04:29,488
are half a year Tambi\n Antonio

3114
02:04:31,227 --> 02:04:31,894
Campbell's fha the De la

3115
02:04:31,894 --> 02:04:32,627
Factotum yacht any of the as

3116
02:04:32,627 --> 02:04:35,627
you know having a color

3117
02:04:42,104 --> 02:04:42,772
populated in our to the upper

3118
02:04:42,772 --> 02:04:43,506
middle and then the invoice

3119
02:04:43,506 --> 02:04:45,208
dates are changing as well they

3120
02:04:45,208 --> 02:04:45,842
used to be the 18th and 19th of

3121
02:04:45,842 --> 02:04:46,476
each month and now they're

3122
02:04:46,476 --> 02:04:46,776
the 30th and first of each

3123
02:04:46,776 --> 02:04:48,776
month.

3124
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:51,346
I'm not sure when they change

3125
02:04:51,346 --> 02:04:54,946
your why you're not away I

3126
02:05:01,791 --> 02:05:05,391
would guess your well you know

3127
02:05:05,495 --> 02:05:06,462
they get on us a lot of them on

3128
02:05:06,462 --> 02:05:11,262
end of the year if we could get

3129
02:05:11,734 --> 02:05:12,368
them really so much on me this

3130
02:05:12,368 --> 02:05:13,360
the like Brazil and then I

3131
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:14,102
don't it seems to me that

3132
02:05:14,102 --> 02:05:14,770
the water billing is a bit

3133
02:05:14,770 --> 02:05:15,471
dysfunctional because of so

3134
02:05:15,471 --> 02:05:19,710
many changes from bill to Bill

3135
02:05:19,174 --> 02:05:19,942
and in the property where I

3136
02:05:19,942 --> 02:05:20,643
live in the change in water

3137
02:05:20,643 --> 02:05:21,277
bill changes quite frequently

3138
02:05:21,277 --> 02:05:24,877
and they are looking at it

3139
02:05:25,481 --> 02:05:26,149
because I have a lot of issues

3140
02:05:26,149 --> 02:05:26,849
where I sometimes have high

3141
02:05:26,849 --> 02:05:29,849
water pressure and sometimes I

3142
02:05:34,190 --> 02:05:34,857
have little to no water

3143
02:05:34,857 --> 02:05:35,591
pressure on my property your

3144
02:05:35,591 --> 02:05:36,159
property angle problem and that

3145
02:05:36,159 --> 02:05:37,827
in order to have it be

3146
02:05:37,827 --> 02:05:38,528
amplified or you know and then

3147
02:05:38,528 --> 02:05:42,128
go back and put pressure on

3148
02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:44,567
them which I me to be the last

3149
02:05:44,567 --> 02:05:45,201
people And then I've had a lot

3150
02:05:45,201 --> 02:05:45,934
of problems with my water

3151
02:05:45,934 --> 02:05:49,534
meters and that with the water

3152
02:05:49,806 --> 02:05:50,707
pressure that comes in and even

3153
02:05:50,707 --> 02:05:54,307
explode some of my pipes are

3154
02:05:57,180 --> 02:06:00,180
stuck and nobody intended to

3155
02:06:03,786 --> 02:06:07,457
correct me in our you think a

3156
02:06:07,457 --> 02:06:08,157
little on our solar panel

3157
02:06:08,157 --> 02:06:08,791
services telling us they tell

3158
02:06:08,791 --> 02:06:09,425
me that they finally found

3159
02:06:09,425 --> 02:06:12,261
the problem but they still

3160
02:06:12,261 --> 02:06:13,290
haven't been able to come out

3161
02:06:13,290 --> 02:06:13,630
and fix it And now they're

3162
02:06:13,630 --> 02:06:14,330
still having issues with

3163
02:06:14,330 --> 02:06:17,930
the water pressure and that is

3164
02:06:18,867 --> 02:06:19,569
changing the bill cycles and

3165
02:06:19,569 --> 02:06:23,169
the amount of the bill that's

3166
02:06:28,177 --> 02:06:28,678
being paid are charged.

3167
02:06:28,678 --> 02:06:30,678
So yeah.

3168
02:06:31,780 --> 02:06:32,415
MR. Cochran Bill, our now these

3169
02:06:32,415 --> 02:06:33,152
last two they are finally

3170
02:06:33,152 --> 02:06:36,752
starting to charge me water for

3171
02:06:40,990 --> 02:06:41,624
the use cabana I started out on

3172
02:06:41,624 --> 02:06:42,291
the house because I maybe

3173
02:06:42,291 --> 02:06:43,250
because they said that they

3174
02:06:43,250 --> 02:06:43,693
weren't going to start charging

3175
02:06:43,693 --> 02:06:44,427
me until they started making

3176
02:06:44,427 --> 02:06:47,427
the adjustments necessary to my

3177
02:06:48,965 --> 02:06:49,566
house because if if I don't do

3178
02:06:49,566 --> 02:06:50,299
I want to show you.

3179
02:06:50,299 --> 02:06:53,136
But that's not true because I

3180
02:06:53,136 --> 02:06:53,536
have been paying water the last

3181
02:06:53,536 --> 02:06:53,836
two months.

3182
02:06:53,836 --> 02:06:55,836
Okay.

3183
02:07:04,614 --> 02:07:05,515
And so people see that we now

3184
02:07:05,515 --> 02:07:06,216
see what that is going to be

3185
02:07:06,216 --> 02:07:07,160
And my comment is that but it

3186
02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:10,616
that it must be a plan

3187
02:07:10,987 --> 02:07:11,688
approximate using a manyama or

3188
02:07:11,688 --> 02:07:15,288
it's criminal what is a little

3189
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:16,893
better and multiple Yeah he got

3190
02:07:16,893 --> 02:07:21,930
his but also he said he also

3191
02:07:22,165 --> 02:07:22,832
can put that away in the bills

3192
02:07:22,832 --> 02:07:24,200
he's like a little thing but

3193
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:25,680
almost enables me not this this

3194
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:27,270
and I'm again going to the next

3195
02:07:27,270 --> 02:07:27,904
speaker Anthony Ross after

3196
02:07:27,904 --> 02:07:30,304
Anthony Ralph says Angela

3197
02:07:31,908 --> 02:07:32,775
better and after Angela better

3198
02:07:32,775 --> 02:07:33,576
is Paul Kruger If you can all

3199
02:07:33,576 --> 02:07:37,176
please come up to the front

3200
02:07:44,654 --> 02:07:48,254
room I think we know who

3201
02:07:50,593 --> 02:07:51,294
the bad guy is now but I think

3202
02:07:51,294 --> 02:07:51,961
what the whole world wants to

3203
02:07:51,961 --> 02:07:55,561
know is who wants to be

3204
02:07:56,599 --> 02:07:57,433
the good guy?

3205
02:07:57,433 --> 02:07:57,867
My phone has been blowing up

3206
02:07:57,867 --> 02:07:58,501
off the hook.

3207
02:07:58,501 --> 02:07:58,835
I'm being interviewed this

3208
02:07:58,835 --> 02:08:00,835
morning.

3209
02:08:01,303 --> 02:08:01,971
I was interviewed twice by four

3210
02:08:01,971 --> 02:08:02,272
more media and by The Daily

3211
02:08:02,272 --> 02:08:04,272
Wire.

3212
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:07,743
I have a request to be

3213
02:08:07,743 --> 02:08:08,544
interviewed this entire week

3214
02:08:08,544 --> 02:08:09,212
And what I would like to ask is

3215
02:08:09,212 --> 02:08:12,212
of the five council members

3216
02:08:12,882 --> 02:08:13,249
that voted for Flock, when will

3217
02:08:13,249 --> 02:08:13,883
this end?

3218
02:08:13,883 --> 02:08:14,517
When will you listen to

3219
02:08:14,517 --> 02:08:14,951
the vast majority of your

3220
02:08:14,951 --> 02:08:15,518
constituents?

3221
02:08:15,518 --> 02:08:17,918
When will you respect

3222
02:08:19,122 --> 02:08:19,621
the Constitution that you swore

3223
02:08:19,621 --> 02:08:20,256
an oath to defend?

3224
02:08:20,256 --> 02:08:23,256
When will you respect our

3225
02:08:23,693 --> 02:08:24,294
privacy rights that are

3226
02:08:24,294 --> 02:08:24,660
enshrined in the Fourth

3227
02:08:24,660 --> 02:08:25,295
Amendment?

3228
02:08:25,295 --> 02:08:25,995
These are non-negotiables.

3229
02:08:25,995 --> 02:08:26,329
It should not have had to come

3230
02:08:26,329 --> 02:08:28,329
to this.

3231
02:08:29,432 --> 02:08:30,330
I came respectfully.

3232
02:08:30,330 --> 02:08:30,733
I presented my position

3233
02:08:30,733 --> 02:08:31,334
respectfully with hundreds of

3234
02:08:31,334 --> 02:08:33,334
other organizations that

3235
02:08:35,638 --> 02:08:36,339
expressed the exact same

3236
02:08:36,339 --> 02:08:37,600
sentiment that I'm expressing

3237
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:37,673
before you now I should not

3238
02:08:37,673 --> 02:08:41,273
have had to wear this Darth

3239
02:08:41,511 --> 02:08:42,144
Vader outfit in order to get

3240
02:08:42,144 --> 02:08:42,812
your attention in order to

3241
02:08:42,812 --> 02:08:43,213
raise global awareness about

3242
02:08:43,213 --> 02:08:45,213
this issue.

3243
02:08:47,350 --> 02:08:48,170
But now that I have I'm glad

3244
02:08:48,170 --> 02:08:48,318
I'm glad that this is going

3245
02:08:48,318 --> 02:08:49,850
viral.

3246
02:08:49,850 --> 02:08:52,388
I'm glad that this is now a

3247
02:08:52,388 --> 02:08:53,560
viral conversation that

3248
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:53,622
the whole world is happening

3249
02:08:53,622 --> 02:08:54,357
because now this is an

3250
02:08:54,357 --> 02:08:57,660
opportunity for you to see This

3251
02:08:57,660 --> 02:08:58,394
is an opportunity for you to

3252
02:08:58,394 --> 02:08:58,995
continue your political careers

3253
02:08:58,995 --> 02:08:59,596
if you still want them.

3254
02:08:59,596 --> 02:09:02,596
There is nothing that is

3255
02:09:03,665 --> 02:09:04,334
uniting the right and the left

3256
02:09:04,334 --> 02:09:05,100
faster than our disdain for

3257
02:09:05,100 --> 02:09:07,100
this Orwellian surveillance

3258
02:09:09,720 --> 02:09:09,705
technology.

3259
02:09:09,705 --> 02:09:10,440
That's abundantly clear by

3260
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:11,140
the fact that I could wear this

3261
02:09:11,140 --> 02:09:14,740
costume once and it could go

3262
02:09:15,478 --> 02:09:16,179
globally viral be picked up by

3263
02:09:16,179 --> 02:09:16,780
cnn Washington Post I've seen

3264
02:09:16,780 --> 02:09:17,347
this I've seen my video

3265
02:09:17,347 --> 02:09:19,347
translated in Arabic.

3266
02:09:20,416 --> 02:09:21,840
I've seen it translated in

3267
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:21,751
Spanish that showcases that

3268
02:09:21,751 --> 02:09:22,452
should demonstrate to all of

3269
02:09:22,452 --> 02:09:26,520
you who couldn't read the room

3270
02:09:26,356 --> 02:09:27,230
when the vast majority of your

3271
02:09:27,230 --> 02:09:27,757
constituents were opposed to

3272
02:09:27,757 --> 02:09:31,357
flock that the world is against

3273
02:09:31,427 --> 02:09:32,128
flock, that the world is

3274
02:09:32,128 --> 02:09:32,861
against being surveilled, that

3275
02:09:32,861 --> 02:09:36,461
we understand that poverty is a

3276
02:09:37,367 --> 02:09:38,340
symptom of rampant inequality

3277
02:09:38,340 --> 02:09:38,735
that billionaires not paying

3278
02:09:38,735 --> 02:09:42,335
their taxes are the ones that

3279
02:09:43,390 --> 02:09:43,773
approve this technology

3280
02:09:43,773 --> 02:09:44,474
Billionaires, boomers, cops and

3281
02:09:44,474 --> 02:09:47,474
fascists and those that don't

3282
02:09:48,678 --> 02:09:49,579
respect the Constitution are

3283
02:09:49,579 --> 02:09:53,179
the only ones that want Angela

3284
02:09:53,650 --> 02:09:55,650
better.

3285
02:09:59,890 --> 02:09:59,756
Hi I want to say I'm really sad

3286
02:09:59,756 --> 02:10:00,557
that I was cut off earlier

3287
02:10:00,557 --> 02:10:03,557
because when I was talking

3288
02:10:04,894 --> 02:10:05,595
about and if you would have let

3289
02:10:05,595 --> 02:10:06,296
me finish it would have gotten

3290
02:10:06,296 --> 02:10:09,896
to the point where, you know,

3291
02:10:10,333 --> 02:10:10,967
Measure c was about the 30 foot

3292
02:10:10,967 --> 02:10:11,267
height limit and repealing

3293
02:10:11,267 --> 02:10:13,267
that.

3294
02:10:14,637 --> 02:10:17,637
>> But anyway I'll start here

3295
02:10:20,210 --> 02:10:22,210
sb 344 Okay.

3296
02:10:24,714 --> 02:10:28,914
Sb 344 is a bill that is going

3297
02:10:32,155 --> 02:10:34,555
through Sacramento that that

3298
02:10:37,527 --> 02:10:39,927
Senator Weber Pearson has

3299
02:10:42,999 --> 02:10:43,666
decided to get and change it to

3300
02:10:43,666 --> 02:10:46,666
Midway Rising and sequel And

3301
02:10:46,803 --> 02:10:47,404
you know it was about human

3302
02:10:47,404 --> 02:10:48,171
remains dispose of human

3303
02:10:48,171 --> 02:10:51,771
remains so to me that just

3304
02:10:52,909 --> 02:10:53,777
that's like taking a shirt that

3305
02:10:53,777 --> 02:10:58,140
you see at a store and saying I

3306
02:10:58,140 --> 02:10:58,715
don't like the price so I am

3307
02:10:58,715 --> 02:11:02,315
going to remove that price tag

3308
02:11:02,385 --> 02:11:02,885
and switch it for something

3309
02:11:02,885 --> 02:11:03,653
that's on sale.

3310
02:11:03,653 --> 02:11:07,253
>> The other thing is that you

3311
02:11:07,823 --> 02:11:08,525
know, as a physician she should

3312
02:11:08,525 --> 02:11:11,525
understand why, you know, just

3313
02:11:13,129 --> 02:11:13,763
like all of you that you don't

3314
02:11:13,763 --> 02:11:16,163
decide a patient's outcome

3315
02:11:17,233 --> 02:11:17,900
first and then eliminate tests

3316
02:11:17,900 --> 02:11:20,300
that might reveal something

3317
02:11:22,338 --> 02:11:22,872
that you don't want to hear And

3318
02:11:22,872 --> 02:11:23,606
just because there's

3319
02:11:23,606 --> 02:11:26,576
legislature that allows that to

3320
02:11:26,576 --> 02:11:26,876
happen doesn't mean it's right

3321
02:11:26,876 --> 02:11:27,944
.

3322
02:11:27,944 --> 02:11:28,545
>> So I just want to say, you

3323
02:11:28,545 --> 02:11:30,545
know, traffic emergency

3324
02:11:31,948 --> 02:11:32,649
response infrastructure, air

3325
02:11:32,649 --> 02:11:35,490
quality, you know, other

3326
02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:38,521
impacts, you know, they just

3327
02:11:38,521 --> 02:11:40,521
don't disappear because

3328
02:11:42,391 --> 02:11:42,792
Sacramento Bill says that needs

3329
02:11:42,792 --> 02:11:43,660
to.

3330
02:11:43,660 --> 02:11:44,394
>> So I hope you don't find

3331
02:11:44,394 --> 02:11:47,364
another way to eliminate the 30

3332
02:11:47,364 --> 02:11:50,964
foot height limit and you know

3333
02:11:52,100 --> 02:11:52,702
respect the San Diego residents

3334
02:11:52,702 --> 02:11:55,102
because ultimately the voters

3335
02:11:55,138 --> 02:11:55,671
are the ones that put all of

3336
02:11:55,671 --> 02:11:57,671
you out there.

3337
02:11:59,308 --> 02:12:00,760
Thank you.

3338
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,760
>> Paul Kruger, if you can

3339
02:12:08,651 --> 02:12:09,190
please come up.

3340
02:12:09,190 --> 02:12:11,190
Thank you.

3341
02:12:13,256 --> 02:12:14,124
First I like to say speaking on

3342
02:12:14,124 --> 02:12:17,124
behalf of the non billionaire

3343
02:12:23,650 --> 02:12:23,767
non fascists but boomers I did

3344
02:12:23,767 --> 02:12:27,367
support Floc I do support Floc

3345
02:12:27,737 --> 02:12:28,438
It's a tough call but you all

3346
02:12:28,438 --> 02:12:31,438
know there's another side out

3347
02:12:32,308 --> 02:12:35,308
there Also Council PRESIDENT I.

3348
02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:37,781
I will always remember the very

3349
02:12:37,781 --> 02:12:40,781
powerful comments you and Raul

3350
02:12:41,918 --> 02:12:42,652
Campo gave about

3351
02:12:42,652 --> 02:12:45,652
the construction of the eight

3352
02:12:46,689 --> 02:12:47,390
storey project on Coronet near

3353
02:12:47,390 --> 02:12:50,390
Mission MAY Drive That's going

3354
02:12:51,627 --> 02:12:52,329
up now that again the issue is

3355
02:12:52,329 --> 02:12:52,729
not whether or not we need

3356
02:12:52,729 --> 02:12:54,729
the housing.

3357
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:56,733
The issue is whether or not

3358
02:12:56,733 --> 02:12:57,433
we're going to respect voters

3359
02:12:57,433 --> 02:13:00,433
on Proposition d and properly

3360
02:13:01,204 --> 02:13:01,538
put the measure before them for

3361
02:13:01,538 --> 02:13:03,538
appeal.

3362
02:13:05,642 --> 02:13:06,276
That's the issue I just wanted

3363
02:13:06,276 --> 02:13:07,110
to do on the record thank

3364
02:13:07,110 --> 02:13:08,378
people who I believe made it

3365
02:13:08,378 --> 02:13:10,378
possible to reopen

3366
02:13:14,117 --> 02:13:14,783
the restrooms and with

3367
02:13:14,783 --> 02:13:15,451
favoritism towards none and

3368
02:13:15,451 --> 02:13:18,888
thank you towards all I just

3369
02:13:18,888 --> 02:13:19,756
put it in alphabetical order

3370
02:13:19,756 --> 02:13:23,956
Again just to put on the record

3371
02:13:24,394 --> 02:13:27,394
those who who reversed that

3372
02:13:27,998 --> 02:13:28,664
really unfortunate policy.

3373
02:13:28,664 --> 02:13:29,432
First of all council member

3374
02:13:29,432 --> 02:13:32,432
Campo who acknowledged his vote

3375
02:13:32,769 --> 02:13:33,436
for the budget but was

3376
02:13:33,436 --> 02:13:36,436
the first to forcefully come

3377
02:13:37,607 --> 02:13:38,308
out and argue for there be in

3378
02:13:38,308 --> 02:13:39,175
statement of the funds to open

3379
02:13:39,175 --> 02:13:41,911
it to spite been ignored by

3380
02:13:41,911 --> 02:13:42,612
the mayor The letter writer

3381
02:13:42,612 --> 02:13:45,120
through the Union-Tribune who

3382
02:13:46,382 --> 02:13:46,816
week after week refused to let

3383
02:13:46,816 --> 02:13:47,517
the issue die.

3384
02:13:47,517 --> 02:13:49,917
Audrey Pham, the pediatrician

3385
02:13:51,721 --> 02:13:52,355
at Children's who on Tuesday

3386
02:13:52,355 --> 02:13:52,956
before the mayor announced

3387
02:13:52,956 --> 02:13:55,356
the openings pointed out

3388
02:13:56,159 --> 02:13:56,793
the problem of communicable

3389
02:13:56,793 --> 02:13:57,160
diseases caused by closed

3390
02:13:57,160 --> 02:13:59,160
restrooms.

3391
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:01,764
Chris Read at the Union-Tribune

3392
02:14:01,764 --> 02:14:04,164
who endlessly, tirelessly and

3393
02:14:05,868 --> 02:14:06,570
sometimes a little too

3394
02:14:06,570 --> 02:14:07,700
vociferously urged the opening

3395
02:14:07,700 --> 02:14:09,700
of the restrooms.

3396
02:14:11,274 --> 02:14:12,800
Bradshaw fell from the mission

3397
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:15,800
Bay Conservatory Thank you all.

3398
02:14:15,778 --> 02:14:16,613
>> Thank you.

3399
02:14:16,613 --> 02:14:17,147
I'm sorry The five minute time

3400
02:14:17,147 --> 02:14:17,780
we're going to those

3401
02:14:17,780 --> 02:14:18,915
participating remotely We

3402
02:14:18,915 --> 02:14:19,282
currently have 11 people in

3403
02:14:19,282 --> 02:14:19,916
the queue.

3404
02:14:19,916 --> 02:14:22,916
>> The original if you can

3405
02:14:23,786 --> 02:14:24,520
please unmute Yes with all this

3406
02:14:24,520 --> 02:14:27,520
focus on flock it's interesting

3407
02:14:28,458 --> 02:14:29,159
because it's the surveillance

3408
02:14:29,159 --> 02:14:29,559
technology that we need to be

3409
02:14:29,559 --> 02:14:31,559
focusing on.

3410
02:14:33,290 --> 02:14:33,697
You guys like to concentrate on

3411
02:14:33,697 --> 02:14:36,970
these billionaires and what

3412
02:14:37,500 --> 02:14:38,670
they're doing to encroach on

3413
02:14:38,670 --> 02:14:38,802
everybody's lives and

3414
02:14:38,802 --> 02:14:39,502
the billionaires that you speak

3415
02:14:39,502 --> 02:14:42,806
of and want to you know, hold

3416
02:14:42,806 --> 02:14:43,505
back are the very ones that are

3417
02:14:43,505 --> 02:14:45,905
owning these technologies And

3418
02:14:47,777 --> 02:14:48,445
it's not about flock but it was

3419
02:14:48,445 --> 02:14:52,450
a great bait and switch for

3420
02:14:52,215 --> 02:14:52,916
them to bring in flock and do a

3421
02:14:52,916 --> 02:14:55,916
corporate cannibalism of it by

3422
02:14:57,253 --> 02:14:57,754
bringing in some a partner who

3423
02:14:57,754 --> 02:14:58,388
supported Flock in

3424
02:14:58,388 --> 02:15:01,388
the beginning in fact gave

3425
02:15:02,424 --> 02:15:03,360
funding to it which is Axon.

3426
02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:04,600
And so Axon is going to be

3427
02:15:04,600 --> 02:15:07,363
coming in and taking the place

3428
02:15:07,363 --> 02:15:08,131
of flock.

3429
02:15:08,131 --> 02:15:11,131
Axon already got the contracts

3430
02:15:12,769 --> 02:15:13,470
on the body worn cameras on

3431
02:15:13,470 --> 02:15:15,870
the 911 dispatch on Alpers

3432
02:15:17,540 --> 02:15:17,940
within the law enforcement

3433
02:15:17,940 --> 02:15:18,875
vehicles.

3434
02:15:18,875 --> 02:15:22,579
And so as we sit here and we

3435
02:15:22,579 --> 02:15:23,280
concentrate on one entity and

3436
02:15:23,280 --> 02:15:24,470
not the entire system as a

3437
02:15:24,470 --> 02:15:27,470
whole and understand that Peter

3438
02:15:28,318 --> 02:15:31,918
Teal who is very well connected

3439
02:15:32,355 --> 02:15:33,220
with Epstein and Larry Fink

3440
02:15:33,220 --> 02:15:33,622
with BlackRock it's you know

3441
02:15:33,622 --> 02:15:34,324
all of these JPMorgan's

3442
02:15:34,324 --> 02:15:37,924
the people that you guys even

3443
02:15:38,940 --> 02:15:38,695
contract out but instead you

3444
02:15:38,695 --> 02:15:39,529
want to focus on Trump.

3445
02:15:39,529 --> 02:15:42,732
You need to be focusing on

3446
02:15:42,732 --> 02:15:43,333
these entities that are

3447
02:15:43,333 --> 02:15:44,670
collecting our data on a

3448
02:15:44,670 --> 02:15:47,670
massive scale bringing in these

3449
02:15:47,437 --> 02:15:48,380
A.I. Data centers and are

3450
02:15:48,380 --> 02:15:50,380
surveilling our children

3451
02:15:51,908 --> 02:15:52,409
wherever they go And this is an

3452
02:15:52,409 --> 02:15:53,760
Epstein operation.

3453
02:15:53,760 --> 02:15:56,760
Jeffrey Epstein is not dead.

3454
02:15:57,113 --> 02:15:57,781
His operation is in full flux

3455
02:15:57,781 --> 02:16:01,381
And the concern is not only

3456
02:16:01,584 --> 02:16:02,185
that it's a satanic Lucifer

3457
02:16:02,185 --> 02:16:02,853
Korean ritual abuse that

3458
02:16:02,853 --> 02:16:05,853
happens on children but it's

3459
02:16:06,923 --> 02:16:07,624
also a blackmail system because

3460
02:16:07,624 --> 02:16:11,224
you know, Jeffrey Epstein is a

3461
02:16:11,961 --> 02:16:12,496
cia and Mossad agent And so as

3462
02:16:12,496 --> 02:16:13,196
we see these things

3463
02:16:13,196 --> 02:16:16,196
encroaching, we need to really

3464
02:16:16,199 --> 02:16:16,766
be concerned about where our

3465
02:16:16,766 --> 02:16:17,634
data is going.

3466
02:16:17,634 --> 02:16:18,335
And so you guys need to be

3467
02:16:18,335 --> 02:16:20,335
standing against surveillance

3468
02:16:22,205 --> 02:16:22,939
as a whole not flock, not Axion

3469
02:16:22,939 --> 02:16:26,510
but surveillance as a whole and

3470
02:16:26,510 --> 02:16:27,210
understand that your children

3471
02:16:27,210 --> 02:16:27,944
are being watched by the very

3472
02:16:27,944 --> 02:16:28,344
people that you think shouldn't

3473
02:16:28,344 --> 02:16:30,344
be in jail.

3474
02:16:31,648 --> 02:16:32,415
>> Time has concluded.

3475
02:16:32,415 --> 02:16:33,830
Becky Wrap if you can please

3476
02:16:33,830 --> 02:16:36,830
unmute after that is Barbara

3477
02:16:37,870 --> 02:16:37,554
Gordon and Katherine Rhodes.

3478
02:16:37,554 --> 02:16:38,121
Thank you Rob.

3479
02:16:38,121 --> 02:16:40,521
I can hear me.

3480
02:16:40,757 --> 02:16:41,291
There you go.

3481
02:16:41,291 --> 02:16:42,158
>> Good afternoon.

3482
02:16:42,158 --> 02:16:45,280
My name is Becky Rapp and I'm a

3483
02:16:45,280 --> 02:16:45,796
parent in a public health

3484
02:16:45,796 --> 02:16:46,395
educator And today I come to

3485
02:16:46,395 --> 02:16:48,795
ask the Council for

3486
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:51,601
Transparency when it comes to

3487
02:16:51,601 --> 02:16:51,934
the city's cannabis tax

3488
02:16:51,934 --> 02:16:53,934
revenue.

3489
02:16:55,672 --> 02:16:56,239
A neighboring city, Los Angeles

3490
02:16:56,239 --> 02:16:56,940
has significantly more

3491
02:16:56,940 --> 02:16:59,340
marijuana businesses than San

3492
02:16:59,743 --> 02:17:00,577
Diego.

3493
02:17:00,577 --> 02:17:01,377
And in MARCH of this year they

3494
02:17:01,377 --> 02:17:04,681
were able to report that its

3495
02:17:04,681 --> 02:17:05,347
marijuana businesses owe

3496
02:17:05,347 --> 02:17:05,882
approximately 400 million in

3497
02:17:05,882 --> 02:17:08,282
back taxes and fees.

3498
02:17:09,653 --> 02:17:10,387
The city is now considering an

3499
02:17:10,387 --> 02:17:13,387
amnesty program because so much

3500
02:17:14,324 --> 02:17:15,158
money remains uncollected.

3501
02:17:15,158 --> 02:17:15,859
If a city of this size with

3502
02:17:15,859 --> 02:17:18,859
hundreds of pot shops can

3503
02:17:19,162 --> 02:17:19,796
provide this detailed

3504
02:17:19,796 --> 02:17:20,430
information, why can't San

3505
02:17:20,430 --> 02:17:22,830
Diego residents are still

3506
02:17:24,601 --> 02:17:25,101
asking how much marijuana tax

3507
02:17:25,101 --> 02:17:25,868
is actually owed?

3508
02:17:25,868 --> 02:17:29,372
How much was supposed to be

3509
02:17:29,372 --> 02:17:30,400
collected and how much was

3510
02:17:30,400 --> 02:17:30,674
actually collected including

3511
02:17:30,674 --> 02:17:33,740
interest charges and late

3512
02:17:34,411 --> 02:17:35,110
penalty fees.

3513
02:17:35,110 --> 02:17:35,712
The city tells us that

3514
02:17:35,712 --> 02:17:38,112
marijuana businesses are free

3515
02:17:38,915 --> 02:17:42,515
to read to be audited and

3516
02:17:43,253 --> 02:17:43,953
the city's own tax materials

3517
02:17:43,953 --> 02:17:44,621
state that audits can identify

3518
02:17:44,621 --> 02:17:47,210
underreported taxes and that

3519
02:17:48,624 --> 02:17:48,992
penalties and interest can be

3520
02:17:48,992 --> 02:17:49,559
assessed.

3521
02:17:49,559 --> 02:17:50,226
So where's the public

3522
02:17:50,226 --> 02:17:52,626
accounting of those results?

3523
02:17:53,396 --> 02:17:54,630
The city treasurer has a

3524
02:17:54,630 --> 02:17:56,630
delinquent accounts program

3525
02:17:57,567 --> 02:17:58,235
that collects past receivables

3526
02:17:58,235 --> 02:17:58,969
including audit deficiencies

3527
02:17:58,969 --> 02:18:02,569
But the public deserves to know

3528
02:18:02,639 --> 02:18:03,140
specifically what is happening

3529
02:18:03,140 --> 02:18:03,573
with cannabis tax

3530
02:18:03,573 --> 02:18:05,573
delinquencies.

3531
02:18:07,944 --> 02:18:08,645
So I'd like to ask the Council

3532
02:18:08,645 --> 02:18:12,115
to once again direct the City

3533
02:18:12,115 --> 02:18:12,749
Treasurer and City Auditor to

3534
02:18:12,749 --> 02:18:13,450
provide an update publicly

3535
02:18:13,450 --> 02:18:15,850
available cannabis revenue and

3536
02:18:17,354 --> 02:18:17,921
tax compliance report.

3537
02:18:17,921 --> 02:18:18,288
Appreciate your time.

3538
02:18:18,288 --> 02:18:18,655
Thank you.

3539
02:18:18,655 --> 02:18:20,490
Thank you.

3540
02:18:20,490 --> 02:18:22,890
Next is Barbara Gordon.

3541
02:18:25,562 --> 02:18:28,562
If you can please unmute.

3542
02:18:30,167 --> 02:18:31,134
>> Good afternoon.

3543
02:18:31,134 --> 02:18:31,801
In San Diego it's hard to MISS

3544
02:18:31,801 --> 02:18:34,201
The many cannabis businesses

3545
02:18:34,638 --> 02:18:35,304
and billboards promoting

3546
02:18:35,304 --> 02:18:38,304
cannabis as a treatment for

3547
02:18:39,876 --> 02:18:40,610
virtually every condition.

3548
02:18:40,610 --> 02:18:42,610
Medical izing commercializing

3549
02:18:44,448 --> 02:18:45,480
of high potency thc has

3550
02:18:45,480 --> 02:18:45,649
produced rising rates in

3551
02:18:45,649 --> 02:18:47,649
addiction emergency room

3552
02:18:49,886 --> 02:18:50,487
visits, traffic fatalities,

3553
02:18:50,487 --> 02:18:51,870
serious psychiatric harm

3554
02:18:51,870 --> 02:18:53,870
especially among youth.

3555
02:18:55,910 --> 02:18:57,491
Recently a dea scientist

3556
02:18:59,662 --> 02:19:00,330
testified about the widespread

3557
02:19:00,330 --> 02:19:01,310
abuse and the lack of

3558
02:19:01,310 --> 02:19:03,310
standardized cannabis products

3559
02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:05,702
and the absence of rigorous

3560
02:19:05,702 --> 02:19:07,702
scientific evidence necessary

3561
02:19:10,340 --> 02:19:11,410
to establish acceptable cold

3562
02:19:11,410 --> 02:19:14,410
medical use for cannabis under

3563
02:19:14,411 --> 02:19:14,977
the Controlled Substance Act.

3564
02:19:14,977 --> 02:19:15,646
Congress established

3565
02:19:15,646 --> 02:19:18,460
the scientific standard for

3566
02:19:19,216 --> 02:19:19,916
drug scheduling to help ensure

3567
02:19:19,916 --> 02:19:22,916
that these decisions are based

3568
02:19:24,540 --> 02:19:24,588
on evidence rather than

3569
02:19:24,588 --> 02:19:25,222
political pressure.

3570
02:19:25,222 --> 02:19:28,222
If those standards can be

3571
02:19:29,192 --> 02:19:29,926
reinterpreted whenever they

3572
02:19:29,926 --> 02:19:31,926
become politically inconvenient

3573
02:19:34,231 --> 02:19:34,831
scientists scientific integrity

3574
02:19:34,831 --> 02:19:35,232
gives away to political

3575
02:19:35,232 --> 02:19:37,232
expedience.

3576
02:19:39,102 --> 02:19:39,802
We know lowering

3577
02:19:39,802 --> 02:19:40,470
the restrictions will increase

3578
02:19:40,470 --> 02:19:42,470
availability, reduce public

3579
02:19:43,807 --> 02:19:44,441
perception of risk, encourage

3580
02:19:44,441 --> 02:19:46,841
greater use and ultimately

3581
02:19:48,544 --> 02:19:49,246
increase addiction especially

3582
02:19:49,246 --> 02:19:49,913
among vulnerable young people.

3583
02:19:49,913 --> 02:19:52,313
Our young people deserve

3584
02:19:53,750 --> 02:19:54,484
protection when they repeatedly

3585
02:19:54,484 --> 02:19:57,484
hear that marijuana is harmless

3586
02:19:58,155 --> 02:19:58,722
or it is simply medicine.

3587
02:19:58,722 --> 02:19:59,890
They MAY underestimate

3588
02:19:59,890 --> 02:20:01,890
the risks.

3589
02:20:02,926 --> 02:20:03,626
The profit driven marijuana

3590
02:20:03,626 --> 02:20:06,260
industry big weed mirrors

3591
02:20:07,497 --> 02:20:07,931
the tactics of big tobacco big

3592
02:20:07,931 --> 02:20:08,565
alcohol.

3593
02:20:08,565 --> 02:20:08,966
These developments are not

3594
02:20:08,966 --> 02:20:10,966
accidental.

3595
02:20:12,169 --> 02:20:12,869
I urge the city to take

3596
02:20:12,869 --> 02:20:15,269
stronger actions by limiting

3597
02:20:17,106 --> 02:20:17,774
marijuana businesses and

3598
02:20:17,774 --> 02:20:18,141
advertising and marketing of

3599
02:20:18,141 --> 02:20:20,141
this drug.

3600
02:20:22,445 --> 02:20:22,746
Thank you for letting me speak

3601
02:20:22,746 --> 02:20:23,246
.

3602
02:20:23,246 --> 02:20:24,114
>> Thank you.

3603
02:20:24,114 --> 02:20:25,916
Next is Katherine Rhodes than

3604
02:20:25,916 --> 02:20:28,316
Kathleen Lippert in 7499 after

3605
02:20:28,852 --> 02:20:29,553
the five minute timer has also

3606
02:20:29,553 --> 02:20:30,153
concluded there were 13 people

3607
02:20:30,153 --> 02:20:30,854
with their hands raised.

3608
02:20:30,854 --> 02:20:31,154
No additional speakers will be

3609
02:20:31,154 --> 02:20:33,154
taken.

3610
02:20:34,324 --> 02:20:35,224
Kathleen, please proceed.

3611
02:20:35,224 --> 02:20:37,624
>> Hello, this is Katherine

3612
02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:39,696
Rhodes and I'm calling again

3613
02:20:39,696 --> 02:20:42,960
regarding our ballot measure

3614
02:20:43,500 --> 02:20:44,267
That was not allowed to be

3615
02:20:44,267 --> 02:20:44,935
heard for a second reading at

3616
02:20:44,935 --> 02:20:47,935
the Rules Committee and was

3617
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:49,807
taken out by PRESIDENT Joe La

3618
02:20:49,807 --> 02:20:53,407
Cava based on I believe false

3619
02:20:54,440 --> 02:20:54,811
information from both the Ebert

3620
02:20:54,811 --> 02:20:58,411
which said that which only gave

3621
02:20:59,182 --> 02:20:59,850
a verbal response saying that

3622
02:20:59,850 --> 02:21:03,450
there's only going to be a

3623
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:04,588
minimal amount of money, not

3624
02:21:04,588 --> 02:21:05,222
140 million that would have

3625
02:21:05,222 --> 02:21:07,622
solved our city structural

3626
02:21:08,892 --> 02:21:11,892
budget deficit but also a

3627
02:21:13,497 --> 02:21:14,231
verbal legal opinion by

3628
02:21:14,231 --> 02:21:17,831
the city attorney that tried to

3629
02:21:18,368 --> 02:21:19,350
say that if we just wanted to

3630
02:21:19,350 --> 02:21:19,836
have the words online travel

3631
02:21:19,836 --> 02:21:23,436
agency as part of a hotel

3632
02:21:23,973 --> 02:21:26,973
operator in the municipal code,

3633
02:21:27,440 --> 02:21:27,710
it would require a

3634
02:21:27,710 --> 02:21:28,411
supermajority or two thirds

3635
02:21:28,411 --> 02:21:30,811
public voter approval because

3636
02:21:31,615 --> 02:21:32,382
this was a special tax.

3637
02:21:32,382 --> 02:21:32,849
What I'm trying to say is

3638
02:21:32,849 --> 02:21:34,849
that's not true.

3639
02:21:36,453 --> 02:21:36,853
That again is false

3640
02:21:36,853 --> 02:21:37,554
information.

3641
02:21:37,554 --> 02:21:41,492
I would like for both the ipa

3642
02:21:41,492 --> 02:21:42,259
to write a written response

3643
02:21:42,259 --> 02:21:44,659
regarding exactly how much

3644
02:21:46,897 --> 02:21:49,897
money should should be created

3645
02:21:51,167 --> 02:21:51,935
by changing the municipal code

3646
02:21:51,935 --> 02:21:52,636
plus a legal opinion a written

3647
02:21:52,636 --> 02:21:55,636
legal opinion by the city

3648
02:21:56,206 --> 02:21:57,174
attorney because they said you

3649
02:21:57,174 --> 02:22:01,440
know what you guys did is a

3650
02:22:01,440 --> 02:22:03,444
validation lawsuit for Measure

3651
02:22:05,215 --> 02:22:05,983
c and what you guys said there

3652
02:22:05,983 --> 02:22:09,583
is that because it was a

3653
02:22:09,786 --> 02:22:10,520
special tax proposed by a

3654
02:22:10,520 --> 02:22:11,187
citizens initiative even though

3655
02:22:11,187 --> 02:22:14,787
it's a special tax, it only

3656
02:22:15,125 --> 02:22:18,125
needs 50% or a majority voter

3657
02:22:18,629 --> 02:22:19,620
approval not the two thirds

3658
02:22:19,620 --> 02:22:19,830
supermajority.

3659
02:22:19,830 --> 02:22:23,430
And so you guys won that

3660
02:22:23,900 --> 02:22:27,500
lawsuit And so of course it's

3661
02:22:27,771 --> 02:22:28,638
only 50% for that And it was

3662
02:22:28,638 --> 02:22:32,238
it's always been 50% And I just

3663
02:22:32,609 --> 02:22:33,377
think you guys just totally

3664
02:22:33,377 --> 02:22:36,377
ruined all the work, all

3665
02:22:38,150 --> 02:22:42,215
the hundreds of hours of work I

3666
02:22:42,719 --> 02:22:43,253
put into this for no reason.

3667
02:22:43,253 --> 02:22:43,620
My apologies.

3668
02:22:43,620 --> 02:22:45,620
Thank you.

3669
02:22:46,560 --> 02:22:48,456
Next is Kathleen Lippert.

3670
02:22:50,961 --> 02:22:51,328
>> If you can please unmute.

3671
02:22:51,328 --> 02:22:53,328
Thank you.

3672
02:22:55,465 --> 02:22:56,333
Good afternoon again.

3673
02:22:56,333 --> 02:22:57,000
>> I'd like to share some

3674
02:22:57,000 --> 02:22:59,400
information from Paul Light.

3675
02:23:00,604 --> 02:23:01,304
He writes that the first step

3676
02:23:01,304 --> 02:23:01,972
in preventing future failures

3677
02:23:01,972 --> 02:23:05,572
is to look at past policy

3678
02:23:05,776 --> 02:23:06,410
failures to prevent worsening a

3679
02:23:06,410 --> 02:23:06,743
growing behavioral health

3680
02:23:06,743 --> 02:23:08,743
problem.

3681
02:23:10,814 --> 02:23:11,481
>> There is plenty of

3682
02:23:11,481 --> 02:23:12,149
historical evidence for drug

3683
02:23:12,149 --> 02:23:15,180
policies that have failed in

3684
02:23:15,180 --> 02:23:15,985
the past.

3685
02:23:15,985 --> 02:23:19,585
The fda has asked and opposed

3686
02:23:20,223 --> 02:23:20,890
cooperation with county public

3687
02:23:20,890 --> 02:23:22,890
health departments questions

3688
02:23:24,995 --> 02:23:25,662
that can determine whether

3689
02:23:25,662 --> 02:23:26,363
the policy was necessary in

3690
02:23:26,363 --> 02:23:29,499
the first place or whether it

3691
02:23:29,499 --> 02:23:29,800
would resolve the problem at

3692
02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:30,200
hand.

3693
02:23:30,200 --> 02:23:30,734
They don't.

3694
02:23:30,734 --> 02:23:32,734
The city's marijuana

3695
02:23:34,738 --> 02:23:35,304
legalization expansion policy

3696
02:23:35,304 --> 02:23:36,600
is a perfect example.

3697
02:23:36,600 --> 02:23:38,908
It should have been clear from

3698
02:23:38,908 --> 02:23:39,610
the beginning that attempting

3699
02:23:39,610 --> 02:23:40,310
to partner with an addictive

3700
02:23:40,310 --> 02:23:43,310
drug industry was destined to

3701
02:23:44,180 --> 02:23:44,915
fail at regulating itself.

3702
02:23:44,915 --> 02:23:47,915
The ordinance and the industry

3703
02:23:49,118 --> 02:23:49,719
became undeterred undermined by

3704
02:23:49,719 --> 02:23:50,530
corruption and unethical

3705
02:23:50,530 --> 02:23:52,530
conduct.

3706
02:23:53,890 --> 02:23:54,590
Well beyond monitoring.

3707
02:23:54,590 --> 02:23:55,325
Ironically, The New York Times

3708
02:23:55,325 --> 02:23:58,325
once an advocate on marijuana

3709
02:23:58,462 --> 02:23:59,129
commercialization, has

3710
02:23:59,129 --> 02:23:59,630
acknowledged that marijuana

3711
02:23:59,630 --> 02:24:01,630
became too potent.

3712
02:24:02,768 --> 02:24:03,566
What did they expect?

3713
02:24:03,566 --> 02:24:04,167
Of course industry addiction

3714
02:24:04,167 --> 02:24:06,167
industries like alcohol,

3715
02:24:08,305 --> 02:24:08,939
tobacco now marijuana strive to

3716
02:24:08,939 --> 02:24:09,306
increase their potency of

3717
02:24:09,306 --> 02:24:11,306
products.

3718
02:24:12,976 --> 02:24:13,543
Then year ago city and County

3719
02:24:13,543 --> 02:24:14,144
both collaborated with

3720
02:24:14,144 --> 02:24:16,544
the industry to increase

3721
02:24:17,481 --> 02:24:18,181
availability and allow rapid

3722
02:24:18,181 --> 02:24:20,581
changes in marijuana products

3723
02:24:22,218 --> 02:24:22,919
Selling Bud along with highly

3724
02:24:22,919 --> 02:24:23,586
concentrated vape cartridges,

3725
02:24:23,586 --> 02:24:25,986
gummies, edibles, waxes and

3726
02:24:27,490 --> 02:24:28,192
beverages infused with

3727
02:24:28,192 --> 02:24:30,592
the psychoactive compound thc.

3728
02:24:32,162 --> 02:24:35,162
These newer products evolve to

3729
02:24:37,334 --> 02:24:37,935
max to engineer maximum thc to

3730
02:24:37,935 --> 02:24:38,335
be used conveniently and

3731
02:24:38,335 --> 02:24:40,335
discreetly.

3732
02:24:41,638 --> 02:24:42,305
Of course concern is for our

3733
02:24:42,305 --> 02:24:43,600
adolescents whose brains are

3734
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:46,600
still developing and are more

3735
02:24:46,610 --> 02:24:47,244
vulnerable to the effects of

3736
02:24:47,244 --> 02:24:47,678
repeated exposures to high

3737
02:24:47,678 --> 02:24:49,678
levels of thc.

3738
02:24:52,483 --> 02:24:53,250
Regulation are are supposed to

3739
02:24:53,250 --> 02:24:56,250
allow for public education and

3740
02:24:59,220 --> 02:24:59,556
teaching but concluded next to

3741
02:24:59,556 --> 02:25:00,190
sound for nine nine.

3742
02:25:00,190 --> 02:25:03,190
If you can please unmute.

3743
02:25:08,999 --> 02:25:09,833
After that is Blair Beekman.

3744
02:25:09,833 --> 02:25:12,233

3745
02:25:14,838 --> 02:25:15,505
please unmute.

3746
02:25:15,505 --> 02:25:16,206
Bob does this get here?

3747
02:25:16,206 --> 02:25:16,907
I'm going to read from several

3748
02:25:16,907 --> 02:25:17,541
letters written to Joe LaCava

3749
02:25:17,541 --> 02:25:19,276
regarding the Torrey Pines

3750
02:25:19,276 --> 02:25:19,942
Light report.

3751
02:25:19,942 --> 02:25:20,644
i'll start with this 2021

3752
02:25:20,644 --> 02:25:21,780
letter written from the Horry

3753
02:25:21,780 --> 02:25:22,713
Town Council.

3754
02:25:22,713 --> 02:25:23,346
Quote On APRIL 8th, 2021

3755
02:25:23,346 --> 02:25:23,914
the committee reported its

3756
02:25:23,914 --> 02:25:26,314
findings to lgc which

3757
02:25:27,250 --> 02:25:27,851
unanimously supported that

3758
02:25:27,851 --> 02:25:28,519
the City of San Diego

3759
02:25:28,519 --> 02:25:28,985
reconvened the Torrey Pines

3760
02:25:28,985 --> 02:25:29,720
Advisory Board.

3761
02:25:29,720 --> 02:25:33,900
We are requesting that the City

3762
02:25:33,900 --> 02:25:33,823
of San Diego consider whether

3763
02:25:33,823 --> 02:25:34,525
the solo pilot suppliers should

3764
02:25:34,525 --> 02:25:37,525
have to pay annual membership

3765
02:25:38,462 --> 02:25:39,163
fees or cost of insurance to

3766
02:25:39,163 --> 02:25:39,730
fly the glider for end quote.

3767
02:25:39,730 --> 02:25:40,430
Next is a letter from

3768
02:25:40,430 --> 02:25:42,499
the Higher Shores Association

3769
02:25:42,499 --> 02:25:43,100
on NOVEMBER 13th, 2025.

3770
02:25:43,100 --> 02:25:43,834

Association respectfully submit

3772
02:25:46,904 --> 02:25:47,604

y Airport.

3778
02:25:53,610 --> 02:25:54,311
Our association believes this

3779
02:25:54,311 --> 02:25:56,880
matter is vital to the safety

3780
02:25:56,880 --> 02:25:57,514
of park users, visitors and

3781
02:25:57,514 --> 02:25:58,182
the surrounding community.

3782
02:25:58,182 --> 02:25:58,849
We encourage the city of San

3783
02:25:58,849 --> 02:26:01,249
Diego to carefully evaluate

3784
02:26:01,418 --> 02:26:02,520
where the solo flier pilots

3785
02:26:02,520 --> 02:26:02,753
should be required to pay

3786
02:26:02,753 --> 02:26:03,454
annual membership fees and or

3787
02:26:03,454 --> 02:26:05,854
maintain insurance coverage to

3797
02:26:16,933 --> 02:26:18,933
irreplaceable natural resources

3798
02:26:19,269 --> 02:26:19,942
and.

3799
02:26:19,942 --> 02:26:20,537
Whereas, citizen input over

3800
02:26:20,537 --> 02:26:21,138
these resources is both

3801
02:26:21,138 --> 02:26:21,739
appropriate and timely,

3802
02:26:21,739 --> 02:26:23,739
the University Community

3803

planning Group recommends that

3804
02:26:24,707 --> 02:26:27,707
the city establish a Torrey

3805
02:26:27,811 --> 02:26:28,512

3814
02:26:37,888 --> 02:26:38,622

Quote the law your town council

3816

in support of reactivating

3818
02:26:43,193 --> 02:26:45,765
the Torrey Pines City Park

3819
02:26:45,765 --> 02:26:46,463
Advisory Board under City

3820
02:26:46,463 --> 02:26:47,130

oversight of operations at

02:26:50,968 --> 02:26:51,701
Torrey Pines Flight Report.

3824
02:26:51,701 --> 02:26:52,369
Torrey Pines City Park Advisory

3825
02:26:52,369 --> 02:26:53,102
Board should be tasked with

3826
02:26:53,102 --> 02:26:55,139
advising the city on matters of

3827
02:26:55,139 --> 02:26:55,806
safety and fair access to

3828
02:26:55,806 --> 02:26:56,506
the Torrey Pines City Park.

3829
02:26:56,506 --> 02:26:59,443
Matters of fair access should

3830
02:26:59,443 --> 02:27:00,143
include a review of whether

3831
02:27:00,143 --> 02:27:00,811
solo flier pilots should be

3832
02:27:00,811 --> 02:27:01,378
required to maintain annual

3833
02:27:01,378 --> 02:27:03,778

3834
02:27:04,815 --> 02:27:05,516
individual insurance coverage

3835
02:27:05,516 --> 02:27:06,149

3837

Joe LaCava.

3838
02:27:09,954 --> 02:27:10,554
Why are you ignoring all of

3839
02:27:10,554 --> 02:27:12,554
these important local

3840
02:27:14,591 --> 02:27:15,659
organizations?

3841
02:27:15,659 --> 02:27:18,595
>> Why your time did conclude

3842
02:27:18,595 --> 02:27:22,195
Blair Beckman If you can please

3843
02:27:23,330 --> 02:27:23,600
unmute.

3844
02:27:23,600 --> 02:27:24,340
>> Hi, Thank you.

3845
02:27:24,340 --> 02:27:24,868
Blair Beekman.

3846
02:27:24,868 --> 02:27:27,404
Thank you for that beginning of

3847
02:27:27,404 --> 02:27:28,272
our meetings today.

3848
02:27:28,272 --> 02:27:28,672
I wanted to thank Anthony for

3849
02:27:28,672 --> 02:27:30,672
his work.

3850
02:27:32,743 --> 02:27:36,343
He's bringing light to hpr and

3851
02:27:36,614 --> 02:27:37,414
surveillance technology issues

3852
02:27:37,414 --> 02:27:41,140
overall in San Diego the same

3853
02:27:42,190 --> 02:27:42,686
time he was a council in

3854
02:27:42,686 --> 02:27:43,387
the past few weeks with his

3855
02:27:43,387 --> 02:27:46,987
showing what he can do well.

3856
02:27:51,561 --> 02:27:52,429
There was also on on npr Radio

3857
02:27:52,429 --> 02:27:56,629
in San Diego ktvu kpbs It was

3858
02:27:56,967 --> 02:27:57,834
it was National you know

3859
02:27:57,834 --> 02:28:01,538
consider pr week Do we do we

3860
02:28:01,538 --> 02:28:02,305
leave hpr Weekly?

3861
02:28:02,305 --> 02:28:05,305
How can we live our.

3862
02:28:05,943 --> 02:28:06,844
It was a week to do that and

3863
02:28:06,844 --> 02:28:07,143
npr and and kpbs picked up on

3864
02:28:07,143 --> 02:28:09,143
that.

3865
02:28:11,648 --> 02:28:12,249
They were covering stories.

3866
02:28:12,249 --> 02:28:12,649
Should we be leaving?

3867
02:28:12,649 --> 02:28:13,284
Aoki argues.

3868
02:28:13,284 --> 02:28:15,684
That's an amazing concept.

3869
02:28:15,719 --> 02:28:16,487
I think.

3870
02:28:16,487 --> 02:28:17,187
And for all the years I've been

3871
02:28:17,187 --> 02:28:19,924
talking to you guys trying to

3872
02:28:19,924 --> 02:28:20,524
be accountable more

3873
02:28:20,524 --> 02:28:21,158
responsible, good policy

3874
02:28:21,158 --> 02:28:23,158
practices, open policies,

3875
02:28:25,262 --> 02:28:26,130
working with community more.

3876
02:28:26,130 --> 02:28:29,730
There's a part I'm not offering

3877
02:28:29,900 --> 02:28:30,634
enough and that technology

3878
02:28:30,634 --> 02:28:31,168
overall is really uncomfortable

3879
02:28:31,168 --> 02:28:34,168
to a lot of people.

3880
02:28:34,972 --> 02:28:35,606
And when you sit here and say

3881
02:28:35,606 --> 02:28:38,600
how wonderful and magical

3882
02:28:39,910 --> 02:28:40,543
billboards are each each year,

3883
02:28:40,543 --> 02:28:41,111
each time it makes people

3884
02:28:41,111 --> 02:28:43,111
really uncomfortable.

3885
02:28:44,848 --> 02:28:45,548
For the most part our

3886
02:28:45,548 --> 02:28:46,160
technology future is not that

3887
02:28:46,160 --> 02:28:48,416
much of a price.

3888
02:28:49,453 --> 02:28:50,354
And I think there's more of a

3889
02:28:50,354 --> 02:28:51,880
price at this time in how to

3890
02:28:51,880 --> 02:28:54,880
talk about the open accountable

3891
02:28:54,258 --> 02:28:55,125
democratic process.

3892
02:28:55,125 --> 02:28:55,993
And you guys I really hope want

3893
02:28:55,993 --> 02:28:58,829
to make these efforts this fall

3894
02:28:58,829 --> 02:28:59,597
towards such efforts.

3895
02:28:59,597 --> 02:29:03,197
You know, with all the election

3896
02:29:03,466 --> 02:29:04,670
issues I hope is real talk

3897
02:29:04,670 --> 02:29:04,768
about accountability and

3898
02:29:04,768 --> 02:29:05,335
working with the community on

3899
02:29:05,335 --> 02:29:08,335
the future of our cec.

3900
02:29:08,839 --> 02:29:09,206
How do we talk about the future

3901
02:29:09,206 --> 02:29:09,940
of Waymo?

3902
02:29:09,940 --> 02:29:10,440
I think we're all uncomfortable

3903
02:29:10,440 --> 02:29:12,440
with that subject.

3904
02:29:13,844 --> 02:29:14,544
I think there's ways to better

3905
02:29:14,544 --> 02:29:17,747
talk about how we can have a

3906
02:29:17,747 --> 02:29:18,516
trial period for them and then

3907
02:29:18,516 --> 02:29:19,149
a real serious public process

3908
02:29:19,149 --> 02:29:19,650
if they should be here in

3909
02:29:19,650 --> 02:29:22,500
the future or not.

3910
02:29:23,220 --> 02:29:23,987
We can do that.

3911
02:29:23,987 --> 02:29:24,488
>> We have the ability to say

3912
02:29:24,488 --> 02:29:25,550
no to technology.

3913
02:29:25,550 --> 02:29:27,455
Let's do things well.

3914
02:29:27,858 --> 02:29:28,558
Guys, thank you.

3915
02:29:28,558 --> 02:29:28,992
Concluded John if you can

3916
02:29:28,992 --> 02:29:29,826
please unmute.

3917
02:29:29,826 --> 02:29:32,563
After that is not only asking

3918
02:29:32,563 --> 02:29:33,197
John.

3919
02:29:33,197 --> 02:29:35,197
>> Good afternoon.

3920
02:29:40,170 --> 02:29:40,838
Oh MAY not be able to hear me.

3921
02:29:40,838 --> 02:29:41,138
You hear me now?

3922
02:29:41,138 --> 02:29:41,605
Yes.

3923
02:29:41,605 --> 02:29:42,600
Please proceed.

3924
02:29:42,600 --> 02:29:42,373
There we go.

3925
02:29:42,373 --> 02:29:44,373
Thank you.

3926
02:29:44,875 --> 02:29:45,276
John Brady lived experience

3927
02:29:45,276 --> 02:29:46,760
advisors.

3928
02:29:46,760 --> 02:29:46,510
I wanted to talk about the safe

3929
02:29:46,510 --> 02:29:48,510
sleeping site.

3930
02:29:50,113 --> 02:29:50,747
We're concerned about where

3931
02:29:50,747 --> 02:29:53,747
we're headed with the safe

3932
02:29:54,751 --> 02:29:55,219
sleeping site in terms of

3933
02:29:55,219 --> 02:29:55,919
quality of life.

3934
02:29:55,919 --> 02:29:58,919
When we supported the initial

3935
02:29:59,990 --> 02:30:00,724
operation it was our

3936
02:30:00,724 --> 02:30:01,458
understanding that it was going

3937
02:30:01,458 --> 02:30:04,610
to be, you know, one maybe, you

3938
02:30:04,610 --> 02:30:06,461
know, 200 individuals or tents

3939
02:30:09,330 --> 02:30:09,834
that were going to be on that

3940
02:30:09,834 --> 02:30:12,503
site And now we are approaching

3941
02:30:12,503 --> 02:30:13,137
just shy of 600.

3942
02:30:13,137 --> 02:30:13,770
In the meantime, we've not

3943
02:30:13,770 --> 02:30:16,170
provided any shade cover.

3944
02:30:17,141 --> 02:30:17,441
We've not provided any ground

3945
02:30:17,441 --> 02:30:18,107
cover.

3946
02:30:18,107 --> 02:30:22,307
I know the city has tons of

3947
02:30:22,545 --> 02:30:23,180
trees and tree limbs that it

3948
02:30:23,180 --> 02:30:24,215
shreds on a regular basis.

3949
02:30:24,215 --> 02:30:27,500
Why can't we just dump some of

3950
02:30:27,500 --> 02:30:27,751
that onto the ground so people

3951
02:30:27,751 --> 02:30:31,351
are not tracking dirt or even

3952
02:30:31,788 --> 02:30:32,289
worse mud into the places that

3953
02:30:32,289 --> 02:30:32,957
they're living in.

3954
02:30:32,957 --> 02:30:35,957
And we see continuous issues

3955
02:30:36,860 --> 02:30:37,528
with people's ability to shower

3956
02:30:37,528 --> 02:30:38,195
with that number of people.

3957
02:30:38,195 --> 02:30:41,195
It appears that our trailers

3958
02:30:41,699 --> 02:30:42,500
have not been expanded for

3959
02:30:42,500 --> 02:30:46,100
showers as well as access to

3960
02:30:46,737 --> 02:30:47,303
and from the facility via

3961
02:30:47,303 --> 02:30:47,671
the provided electric

3962
02:30:47,671 --> 02:30:49,671
transport.

3963
02:30:51,709 --> 02:30:52,309
I really am concerned

3964
02:30:52,309 --> 02:30:52,643
the direction that we're

3965
02:30:52,643 --> 02:30:54,643
headed.

3966
02:30:56,180 --> 02:30:57,800
We've decided not to build any

3967
02:30:57,800 --> 02:31:00,800
formal shelter since the mega

3968
02:31:01,485 --> 02:31:02,185
shelter proposal.

3969
02:31:02,185 --> 02:31:04,585
And with this administration

3970
02:31:06,560 --> 02:31:06,657
we've laid a pretty pretty bare

3971
02:31:06,657 --> 02:31:09,657
bones example of what an

3972
02:31:11,295 --> 02:31:12,290
internment camp could be as an

3973
02:31:12,290 --> 02:31:12,730
operating function if if that's

3974
02:31:12,730 --> 02:31:15,433
the direction it truly decides

3975
02:31:15,433 --> 02:31:16,100
to head which seems to be all

3976
02:31:16,100 --> 02:31:16,700
indicators forcing homeless

3977
02:31:16,700 --> 02:31:19,700
people into some sort of

3978
02:31:20,771 --> 02:31:22,771
containment facility ice.

3979
02:31:25,276 --> 02:31:26,142
>> So I really think that we

3980
02:31:26,142 --> 02:31:26,743
need to look at you know, when

3981
02:31:26,743 --> 02:31:29,680
we saw the budget lines

3982
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:30,548
presented, you know, there was

3983
02:31:30,548 --> 02:31:30,815
,you know, less than $50 a

3984
02:31:30,815 --> 02:31:31,482
day.

3985
02:31:31,482 --> 02:31:34,952
The question needs to be is

3986
02:31:34,952 --> 02:31:35,519
that really adequate?

3987
02:31:35,519 --> 02:31:36,186
Are we treating people

3988
02:31:36,186 --> 02:31:38,586
humanely, cramming them into

3989
02:31:39,690 --> 02:31:40,324
these facilities when

3990
02:31:40,324 --> 02:31:40,924
originally we talked about

3991
02:31:40,924 --> 02:31:42,924
small encampments around

3992
02:31:44,395 --> 02:31:44,761
the city, not one large sided

3993
02:31:44,761 --> 02:31:45,362
location.

3994
02:31:45,362 --> 02:31:47,362
>> But now over 600.

3995
02:31:48,499 --> 02:31:51,499
Natalie Raskin If you can

3996
02:31:52,369 --> 02:31:55,369
please unmute your immediate we

3997
02:32:03,747 --> 02:32:06,147
do not hear you.

3998
02:32:09,286 --> 02:32:09,687
Hello.

3999
02:32:09,687 --> 02:32:10,721
Sorry.

4000
02:32:10,721 --> 02:32:13,857
Your mike does not seem to be

4001
02:32:13,857 --> 02:32:14,691
working.

4002
02:32:14,691 --> 02:32:17,940
You will have to move on to

4003
02:32:17,940 --> 02:32:17,561
the next caller and we'll try

4004
02:32:17,561 --> 02:32:19,561
one more time.

4005
02:32:22,666 --> 02:32:23,300
I see that you're in a meeting

4006
02:32:23,300 --> 02:32:24,340
but the device that you're

4007
02:32:24,340 --> 02:32:26,604
speaking into MAY be muted as

4008
02:32:26,604 --> 02:32:27,538
well.

4009
02:32:27,538 --> 02:32:31,409
We will have to move on to

4010
02:32:31,409 --> 02:32:32,376
the next caller.

4011
02:32:32,376 --> 02:32:36,247
Call in user two if you can

4012
02:32:36,247 --> 02:32:38,247
please unmute.

4013
02:32:41,618 --> 02:32:42,419
>> Hi.

4014
02:32:42,419 --> 02:32:43,200
I am concerned about collection

4015
02:32:43,200 --> 02:32:45,420
of city council members

4016
02:32:48,159 --> 02:32:48,859
physically just stupid whopping

4017
02:32:48,859 --> 02:32:51,859
old giddy gleeful Perry Como

4018
02:32:53,663 --> 02:32:54,398
What mother Julia Colbert

4019
02:32:54,398 --> 02:32:55,650
the eccentric moneybags and I'm

4020
02:32:55,650 --> 02:32:58,665
now crippled but the fear as

4021
02:33:01,705 --> 02:33:02,406
you feel would sleep on them

4022
02:33:02,406 --> 02:33:03,374
laying low Hola Just not happy

4023
02:33:03,374 --> 02:33:04,341
to pay for a car but probably

4024
02:33:04,341 --> 02:33:05,900
why one of his political

4025
02:33:05,900 --> 02:33:06,943
opponents Well tell me what

4026
02:33:06,943 --> 02:33:07,611
feels in California If you go

4027
02:33:07,611 --> 02:33:11,211
back to New Jersey, New York

4028
02:33:11,482 --> 02:33:14,985
you go up a big floppy county.

4029
02:33:14,985 --> 02:33:15,319
>> got it all next says

4030
02:33:15,319 --> 02:33:17,319
Madison.

4031
02:33:19,423 --> 02:33:19,957
If you can please unmute it.

4032
02:33:19,957 --> 02:33:21,957
Hi, good afternoon.

4033
02:33:24,528 --> 02:33:25,229
City Council I want to remind

4034
02:33:25,229 --> 02:33:25,963
the Council that when we talk

4035
02:33:25,963 --> 02:33:28,963
about cannabis policy we cannot

4036
02:33:29,500 --> 02:33:30,234
lose sight of the kids that are

4037
02:33:30,234 --> 02:33:33,234
growing up in this environment.

4038
02:33:34,438 --> 02:33:35,172
We are creating a teenager's

4039
02:33:35,172 --> 02:33:35,705
brain is still developing into

4040
02:33:35,705 --> 02:33:36,340
their mid-twenties.

4041
02:33:36,340 --> 02:33:38,740
Cannabis can affect memory

4042
02:33:40,311 --> 02:33:40,978
attention learning, decision

4043
02:33:40,978 --> 02:33:43,378
making and coordination and

4044
02:33:45,249 --> 02:33:45,950
teens who use cannabis are more

4045
02:33:45,950 --> 02:33:46,650
likely to experience problems

4046
02:33:46,650 --> 02:33:49,650
such as cannabis use disorder

4047
02:33:50,200 --> 02:33:50,354
and difficulties Completing

4048
02:33:50,354 --> 02:33:51,122
school.

4049
02:33:51,122 --> 02:33:54,122
But the consequences are more

4050
02:33:55,459 --> 02:33:56,160
than just statistics because

4051
02:33:56,160 --> 02:33:56,826
for a young person losing

4052
02:33:56,826 --> 02:33:59,226
motivation can mean falling

4053
02:34:00,130 --> 02:34:00,765
behind in school and poor

4054
02:34:00,765 --> 02:34:01,399
judgment can mean getting

4055
02:34:01,399 --> 02:34:03,799
behind the wheel impaired

4056
02:34:06,370 --> 02:34:06,737
Regular use can turn into more

4057
02:34:06,737 --> 02:34:07,371
and become a dependance issue

4058
02:34:07,371 --> 02:34:10,371
And for some young people

4059
02:34:11,308 --> 02:34:11,876
cannabis use is associated with

4060
02:34:11,876 --> 02:34:12,442
serious mental health

4061
02:34:12,442 --> 02:34:12,810
consequences including

4062
02:34:12,810 --> 02:34:14,810
psychosis.

4063
02:34:16,880 --> 02:34:17,615
As adults we have a

4064
02:34:17,615 --> 02:34:18,215
responsibility to make sure our

4065
02:34:18,215 --> 02:34:20,215
children understand that

4066
02:34:21,118 --> 02:34:21,819
marijuana is not harmless

4067
02:34:21,819 --> 02:34:22,185
simply because it is available

4068
02:34:22,185 --> 02:34:23,154
to adults.

4069
02:34:23,154 --> 02:34:27,223
San Diego can be a leader in

4070
02:34:27,223 --> 02:34:27,959
prevention by investing in

4071
02:34:27,959 --> 02:34:30,359
evidence based youth education,

4072
02:34:32,620 --> 02:34:32,763
supporting parents and schools

4073
02:34:32,763 --> 02:34:33,464
,enforcing protections around

4074
02:34:33,464 --> 02:34:34,131
cannabis businesses and making

4075
02:34:34,131 --> 02:34:36,531
sure prevention doesn't get

4076
02:34:37,802 --> 02:34:38,502
treated as an afterthought.

4077
02:34:38,502 --> 02:34:39,170
We spend enormous resources

4078
02:34:39,170 --> 02:34:41,570
helping people recover after

4079
02:34:43,240 --> 02:34:43,574
substance use has caused

4080
02:34:43,574 --> 02:34:44,307
damage.

4081
02:34:44,307 --> 02:34:44,942
I hope we will remember that

4082
02:34:44,942 --> 02:34:47,342
preventing that damage in

4083
02:34:48,579 --> 02:34:49,280
the first place especially for

4084
02:34:49,280 --> 02:34:49,880
children and teenagers is one

4085
02:34:49,880 --> 02:34:50,314
of the best investments

4086
02:34:50,314 --> 02:34:52,314
the city can.

4087
02:34:54,180 --> 02:34:54,584
Thank you.

4088
02:34:54,584 --> 02:34:56,584
>> Thank you.

4089
02:34:59,690 --> 02:34:59,993
Remember back and please unmute

4090
02:34:59,993 --> 02:35:00,958
.

4091
02:35:00,958 --> 02:35:03,958
>> Hi, good afternoon again I'm

4092
02:35:04,628 --> 02:35:05,496
in the district seven.

4093
02:35:05,496 --> 02:35:09,634
I'm so first I wanted to bring

4094
02:35:09,634 --> 02:35:10,334
up I just found out about

4095
02:35:10,334 --> 02:35:11,102
recently like a couple of

4096
02:35:11,102 --> 02:35:14,102
months ago about this program

4097
02:35:15,272 --> 02:35:15,806
the keep Homeland Security

4098
02:35:15,806 --> 02:35:16,440
grant program that's

4099
02:35:16,440 --> 02:35:18,440
administered through fema.

4100
02:35:20,440 --> 02:35:22,444
Apparently it's a $1 billion

4101
02:35:24,948 --> 02:35:25,683
program and we as a big city

4102
02:35:25,683 --> 02:35:26,117
receive funds from this program

4103
02:35:26,117 --> 02:35:28,117
through the u.

4104
02:35:31,220 --> 02:35:31,422
A I urban area security

4105
02:35:31,422 --> 02:35:33,422
initiative.

4106
02:35:35,960 --> 02:35:36,694
I actually when I first learned

4107
02:35:36,694 --> 02:35:37,427
about it in early JULY, I put

4108
02:35:37,427 --> 02:35:41,270
in a public records request and

4109
02:35:41,532 --> 02:35:41,999
it's been delayed now three

4110
02:35:41,999 --> 02:35:42,800
different times.

4111
02:35:42,800 --> 02:35:46,337
So from JULY 9th they've now

4112
02:35:46,337 --> 02:35:47,103
delayed until SEPTEMBER 1st.

4113
02:35:47,103 --> 02:35:48,500
I don't know if that's normal.

4114
02:35:48,500 --> 02:35:51,876
I haven't done a ton of public

4115
02:35:51,876 --> 02:35:52,810
record requests yet.

4116
02:35:52,810 --> 02:35:53,277
I've done a few and I've never

4117
02:35:53,277 --> 02:35:54,178
taken this long.

4118
02:35:54,178 --> 02:35:57,681
And I just wanted to bring that

4119
02:35:57,681 --> 02:35:58,416
up.

4120
02:35:58,416 --> 02:35:59,830
Secondly, I'll just read and I

4121
02:35:59,830 --> 02:35:59,917
read this to you guys before

4122
02:35:59,917 --> 02:36:03,517
but I'm just going to keep

4123
02:36:03,621 --> 02:36:04,455
coming back and reading it.

4124
02:36:04,455 --> 02:36:08,655
I'm in a city full of sailors,

4125
02:36:09,626 --> 02:36:10,328
soldiers and veterans.

4126
02:36:10,328 --> 02:36:10,995
It absolutely disgusting that

4127
02:36:10,995 --> 02:36:13,995
our city council so easily

4128
02:36:15,900 --> 02:36:16,600
decimates the Fourth Amendment

4129
02:36:16,600 --> 02:36:19,000
protections that our military

4130
02:36:19,337 --> 02:36:22,337
families sacrifice for bled for

4131
02:36:27,712 --> 02:36:28,312
and died to protect.

4132
02:36:28,312 --> 02:36:28,679
>> That concludes your

4133
02:36:28,679 --> 02:36:29,460
comments.

4134
02:36:29,460 --> 02:36:29,413
No, sorry.

4135
02:36:29,413 --> 02:36:31,413
I'm okay.

4136
02:36:33,518 --> 02:36:33,884
I I'm going to help them with

4137
02:36:33,884 --> 02:36:34,585
practice.

4138
02:36:34,585 --> 02:36:34,919
They're taking the economy on

4139
02:36:34,919 --> 02:36:35,486
purpose.

4140
02:36:35,486 --> 02:36:37,886
So small farms, small

4141
02:36:38,222 --> 02:36:38,956
businesses fail and big

4142
02:36:38,956 --> 02:36:39,657
corporations can buy scraps and

4143
02:36:39,657 --> 02:36:40,391
monopolize exports even more.

4144
02:36:40,391 --> 02:36:43,391
They're running up our national

4145
02:36:44,495 --> 02:36:45,162
debt while they still can so

4146
02:36:45,162 --> 02:36:45,830
they can go through defense

4147
02:36:45,830 --> 02:36:46,497
contracts and corporate tax

4148
02:36:46,497 --> 02:36:48,897
cuts even removing required

4149
02:36:50,434 --> 02:36:51,134
social support and removing

4150
02:36:51,134 --> 02:36:51,735
social support and services so

4151
02:36:51,735 --> 02:36:52,436
they have more money to

4152
02:36:52,436 --> 02:36:52,870
embezzle and defense contracts

4153
02:36:52,870 --> 02:36:54,870
and tax cuts.

4154
02:36:56,173 --> 02:36:56,774
They're creating a surveillance

4155
02:36:56,774 --> 02:36:57,375
system and desensitizing

4156
02:36:57,375 --> 02:36:58,420
massive paramilitary on

4157
02:36:58,420 --> 02:37:01,420
the streets of the rebellion

4158
02:37:02,713 --> 02:37:03,514
When the air bubble pops.

4159
02:37:03,514 --> 02:37:04,150
Our fallen kids evaporate in

4160
02:37:04,150 --> 02:37:04,748
places devastated.

4161
02:37:04,748 --> 02:37:08,520
The people have nothing to lose

4162
02:37:08,520 --> 02:37:08,486
by rebelling because nothing

4163
02:37:08,486 --> 02:37:09,153
like history.

4164
02:37:09,153 --> 02:37:09,786
>> Smash and grab robbery.

4165
02:37:09,786 --> 02:37:10,154
I'm sorry your time has

4166
02:37:10,154 --> 02:37:10,455
concluded.

4167
02:37:10,455 --> 02:37:12,455
Great.

4168
02:37:13,230 --> 02:37:13,691
Thank you.

4169
02:37:13,691 --> 02:37:14,192
Catherine Douglas and then

4170
02:37:14,192 --> 02:37:16,192
Fannie after that.

4171
02:37:19,263 --> 02:37:19,664
Hello.

4172
02:37:19,664 --> 02:37:20,331
>> Hello.

4173
02:37:20,331 --> 02:37:20,631
Yes, I can hear you.

4174
02:37:20,631 --> 02:37:21,980
Okay.

4175
02:37:21,980 --> 02:37:23,980
Patricia Filet.

The supplemental air for San

4179
02:37:26,837 --> 02:37:29,607
Diego is Measure c was found

4180
02:37:29,607 --> 02:37:30,307
legally deficient for failing

4181
02:37:30,307 --> 02:37:30,875
to properly analyze impacts on

4182
02:37:30,875 --> 02:37:32,875
cultural resources and

4183
02:37:35,413 --> 02:37:36,146
neighborhood character in areas

4184
02:37:36,146 --> 02:37:36,614
adjacent to the Midway District

4185
02:37:36,614 --> 02:37:37,181
such as Ultium.

4186
02:37:37,181 --> 02:37:39,181
The review downplayed

4187
02:37:41,252 --> 02:37:41,985
the effects of increased

4188
02:37:41,985 --> 02:37:42,720
density and traffic on historic

4189
02:37:42,720 --> 02:37:46,320
sites leading to a court ruling

4190
02:37:47,424 --> 02:37:48,159
that the city violated Sequoyah

4191
02:37:48,159 --> 02:37:48,793
the city's failure to conduct a

4192
02:37:48,793 --> 02:37:50,793
proper analysis regarding

4193
02:37:53,330 --> 02:37:53,931
Measure c and its resulting

4194
02:37:53,931 --> 02:37:54,599
coastal height limit in

4195
02:37:54,599 --> 02:37:56,999
the Midway District directly

4196
02:37:59,337 --> 02:37:59,937
impacts Presidio Park

4197
02:37:59,937 --> 02:38:00,538
assignments specifically

4198
02:38:00,538 --> 02:38:02,938
recognized as a national

4199
02:38:05,643 --> 02:38:06,210
historic landmark by

4200
02:38:06,210 --> 02:38:06,844
challenging but weakly

4201
02:38:06,844 --> 02:38:08,844
deficient air successfully

4202
02:38:11,449 --> 02:38:12,490
argued that the that

4203
02:38:12,490 --> 02:38:12,717
the environmental review

4204
02:38:12,717 --> 02:38:15,117
treated areas like Presidio

4205
02:38:17,355 --> 02:38:18,880
Park and Old Town as isolated

4206
02:38:18,880 --> 02:38:20,488
islands completely ignoring how

4207
02:38:22,860 --> 02:38:23,461
a wall of high rises in

4208
02:38:23,461 --> 02:38:24,195
neighboring Midway would

4209
02:38:24,195 --> 02:38:26,595
visually and culturally degrade

4210
02:38:29,433 --> 02:38:30,101
a national historic landmark.

4211
02:38:30,101 --> 02:38:30,768
In short, while Measure c

4212
02:38:30,768 --> 02:38:33,168
attempts to adjust municipal

4213
02:38:35,405 --> 02:38:36,730
height boundaries locally.

4214
02:38:36,730 --> 02:38:36,706
Section 106 ensures that

4215
02:38:36,706 --> 02:38:37,307
federal planning standards

4216
02:38:37,307 --> 02:38:40,307
treat Presidio Park as a

4217
02:38:41,450 --> 02:38:41,646
protected asset whose visual

4218
02:38:41,646 --> 02:38:42,245
horizon early California

4219
02:38:42,245 --> 02:38:44,245
landscape and ancestral

4220
02:38:47,719 --> 02:38:48,386
archeology cannot be legally

4221
02:38:48,386 --> 02:38:51,386
disregarded by a full vote.

4222
02:38:53,910 --> 02:38:53,891
Our surrounding neighborhoods

4223
02:38:53,891 --> 02:38:54,592
matter as much as our native

4224
02:38:54,592 --> 02:38:57,592
and descendent voices too For

4225
02:38:58,529 --> 02:38:59,197
any major developments to

4226
02:38:59,197 --> 02:39:02,197
further attempt to erase our

4227
02:39:05,680 --> 02:39:05,536
historic and cultural heritage.

4228
02:39:05,536 --> 02:39:05,936
>> Thank you.

4229
02:39:05,936 --> 02:39:06,637
Thank you.

4230
02:39:06,637 --> 02:39:06,971
Katherine Douglas, if you can

4231
02:39:06,971 --> 02:39:08,971
please.

4232
02:39:10,141 --> 02:39:10,908
I'm you.

4233
02:39:10,908 --> 02:39:11,576
>> I hadn't planned to speak

4234
02:39:11,576 --> 02:39:14,576
this afternoon but I am

4235
02:39:16,580 --> 02:39:17,281
appalled at some of

4236
02:39:17,281 --> 02:39:19,681
the comments regarding Alpers.

4237
02:39:22,620 --> 02:39:23,220
The police department has great

4238
02:39:23,220 --> 02:39:23,621
oversight from multiple

4239
02:39:23,621 --> 02:39:25,621
committees.

4240
02:39:28,359 --> 02:39:28,960
The police department put on a

4241
02:39:28,960 --> 02:39:30,960
technology informational

4242
02:39:34,865 --> 02:39:35,366
technology meeting on I believe

4243
02:39:35,366 --> 02:39:37,766
it was JULY 22nd.

4244
02:39:38,970 --> 02:39:39,303
I happened to go to the one in

4245
02:39:39,303 --> 02:39:40,370
my area.

4246
02:39:40,370 --> 02:39:40,704
There were four officers there.

4247
02:39:40,704 --> 02:39:41,104
There were three people from

4248
02:39:41,104 --> 02:39:43,104
the public.

4249
02:39:46,244 --> 02:39:46,577
There were a few more at Anchor

4250
02:39:46,577 --> 02:39:47,311
Church.

4251
02:39:47,311 --> 02:39:51,150
Most of the as we went through

4252
02:39:51,150 --> 02:39:51,683
the meeting and they explained

4253
02:39:51,683 --> 02:39:54,830
technologies which are super

4254
02:39:58,890 --> 02:39:58,823
important to our public safety

4255
02:39:58,823 --> 02:40:01,223
they're force multipliers where

4256
02:40:04,162 --> 02:40:04,829
230 officers short as of last

4257
02:40:04,829 --> 02:40:05,129
Wednesday maybe even shorter

4258
02:40:05,129 --> 02:40:07,129
today.

4259
02:40:10,234 --> 02:40:10,735
But did any of those people go

4260
02:40:10,735 --> 02:40:11,436
to those meetings?

4261
02:40:11,436 --> 02:40:12,300
Did any of those people learn

4262
02:40:12,300 --> 02:40:14,300
about the technology?

4263
02:40:16,707 --> 02:40:17,375
Do any of those people Basham

4264
02:40:17,375 --> 02:40:19,775
and Alpers realize that

4265
02:40:22,480 --> 02:40:22,914
everybody has on everybody has

4266
02:40:22,914 --> 02:40:23,548
a smartphone.

4267
02:40:23,548 --> 02:40:23,881
A lot of people have Apple

4268
02:40:23,881 --> 02:40:25,881
watches.

4269
02:40:27,919 --> 02:40:28,553
People have ring cameras and

4270
02:40:28,553 --> 02:40:30,553
public safety surveillance

4271
02:40:34,158 --> 02:40:34,559
cameras on their homes and

4272
02:40:34,559 --> 02:40:35,225
businesses.

4273
02:40:35,225 --> 02:40:35,592
You're being surveilled all

4274
02:40:35,592 --> 02:40:37,592
the time.

4275
02:40:40,364 --> 02:40:41,640
The technology this particular

4276
02:40:41,640 --> 02:40:41,665
technology just caught someone

4277
02:40:41,665 --> 02:40:44,665
who shot into a crowded

4278
02:40:46,638 --> 02:40:47,338
restaurant and injured someone

4279
02:40:47,338 --> 02:40:50,938
with a gun Last week that

4280
02:40:52,243 --> 02:40:52,943
happened to be in Vista But it

4281
02:40:52,943 --> 02:40:53,611
happens in San Diego And they

4282
02:40:53,611 --> 02:40:56,611
because of Alpers they were

4283
02:40:58,149 --> 02:40:58,716
able to catch the suspect.

4284
02:40:58,716 --> 02:40:59,350
He's been charged with

4285
02:40:59,350 --> 02:41:01,750
attempted murder and he's

4286
02:41:04,121 --> 02:41:04,889
probably going to jail.

4287
02:41:04,889 --> 02:41:08,489
So I caution people to learn

4288
02:41:11,329 --> 02:41:11,828
about the technology before

4289
02:41:11,828 --> 02:41:12,330
they speak without

4290
02:41:12,330 --> 02:41:12,697
understanding it.

4291
02:41:12,697 --> 02:41:13,630
Thank you.

4292
02:41:13,630 --> 02:41:15,630
Thank you.

4293
02:41:17,735 --> 02:41:18,403
That is funny.

4294
02:41:18,403 --> 02:41:19,300
Esquivel The next speaker is

4295
02:41:19,300 --> 02:41:19,703
Fannie Esquivel who has

4296
02:41:19,703 --> 02:41:21,703
requested translation fantasy

4297
02:41:23,941 --> 02:41:27,541
before that idea is allowed in

4298
02:41:28,379 --> 02:41:28,780
France's courts before

4299
02:41:28,780 --> 02:41:30,780
Parliament.

4300
02:41:34,886 --> 02:41:35,853
>> When a service member goes

4301
02:41:35,853 --> 02:41:40,240
it's funny as we communion in a

4302
02:41:40,240 --> 02:41:40,725
way that Good afternoon members

4303
02:41:40,725 --> 02:41:41,492
of the San Diego City Council.

4304
02:41:41,492 --> 02:41:42,293
>> My name is and I am here

4305
02:41:42,293 --> 02:41:44,462
today as a member of

4306
02:41:44,462 --> 02:41:46,862
the community a concerned

4307
02:41:52,837 --> 02:41:53,638
member of the community of Soda

4308
02:41:53,638 --> 02:41:57,307
is a product of the tobacco tax

4309
02:41:57,307 --> 02:41:58,109
and using dairy.

4310
02:41:58,109 --> 02:41:58,843
>> I'm concerned because of

4311
02:41:58,843 --> 02:41:59,477
the tobacco product litter that

4312
02:41:59,477 --> 02:42:01,279
is scattered throughout my

4313
02:42:01,279 --> 02:42:03,279
neighborhood.

4314
02:42:12,223 --> 02:42:12,923
>> We see what this is.

4315
02:42:12,923 --> 02:42:13,625
My children and grandchildren

4316
02:42:13,625 --> 02:42:14,325
are curious about the cigaret

4317
02:42:14,325 --> 02:42:14,692
butts and pick them up to play

4318
02:42:14,692 --> 02:42:16,692
with them.

4319
02:42:19,164 --> 02:42:22,164
So you have political opponents

4320
02:42:27,710 --> 02:42:29,540
in cities meeting looking to

4321
02:42:29,540 --> 02:42:30,208
put in their little hands and

4322
02:42:30,208 --> 02:42:30,875
clothes become contaminated

4323
02:42:30,875 --> 02:42:33,275
with these toxic substances

4324
02:42:35,790 --> 02:42:35,813
even though they're not smoking

4325
02:42:35,813 --> 02:42:36,481
them By touching these products

4326
02:42:36,481 --> 02:42:37,181
the chemicals can come into

4327
02:42:37,181 --> 02:42:40,181
contact with their bodies and

4328
02:42:42,986 --> 02:42:43,388
consume it.

4329
02:42:43,388 --> 02:42:44,155
>> Yes.

4330
02:42:44,155 --> 02:42:48,355
In the study on tobacco use and

4331
02:42:48,760 --> 02:42:49,327
throwing these products on

4332
02:42:49,327 --> 02:42:49,961
the ground has become

4333
02:42:49,961 --> 02:42:50,261
normalized and that is not

4334
02:42:50,261 --> 02:42:52,261
okay.

4335
02:42:57,201 --> 02:42:57,968
>> And where they put it that

4336
02:42:57,968 --> 02:43:00,905
is because then what are you

4337
02:43:00,905 --> 02:43:01,606
standing against in a context

4338
02:43:01,606 --> 02:43:02,340
of combustion popsicle Instead

4339
02:43:02,340 --> 02:43:03,740
of being able to relax while my

4340
02:43:03,740 --> 02:43:03,408
children and grandchildren play

4341
02:43:03,408 --> 02:43:05,408
outside?

4342
02:43:08,790 --> 02:43:08,746
>> I'm constantly worried that

4343
02:43:08,746 --> 02:43:09,346
they will come into contact

4344
02:43:09,346 --> 02:43:11,746
with this toxic litter.

4345
02:43:13,183 --> 02:43:13,951
But I know that it's important

4346
02:43:13,951 --> 02:43:17,188
that in especially in what is

4347
02:43:17,188 --> 02:43:17,889
seen a little bit most of our

4348
02:43:17,889 --> 02:43:18,589
children deserve to be able to

4349
02:43:18,589 --> 02:43:19,256
play in a clean and safe space

4350
02:43:19,256 --> 02:43:21,559
without the risk of becoming

4351
02:43:21,559 --> 02:43:22,293
sick or being exposed of

4352
02:43:22,293 --> 02:43:24,693
tobacco related substances that

4353
02:43:28,833 --> 02:43:29,167
is toxic that can duplicate

4354
02:43:29,167 --> 02:43:29,967
tobacco.

4355
02:43:29,967 --> 02:43:33,567
But I know so many fundamental

4356
02:43:34,539 --> 02:43:38,139
issues that only that I see

4357
02:43:39,811 --> 02:43:40,512
programs but I'm exactly sick.

4358
02:43:40,512 --> 02:43:41,246
>> The amount of tobacco

4359
02:43:41,246 --> 02:43:41,945
product waste is harmful to our

4360
02:43:41,945 --> 02:43:44,345
environment and our community

4361
02:43:45,917 --> 02:43:46,583
just as there are programs to

4362
02:43:46,583 --> 02:43:48,983
collect and recycle recycle

4363
02:43:53,758 --> 02:43:54,392
hazardous products.

4364
02:43:54,392 --> 02:43:56,392
>> What's the point?

4365
02:43:58,763 --> 02:44:02,363
What is the picture that that

4366
02:44:03,201 --> 02:44:03,834
hazardous product such as

4367
02:44:03,834 --> 02:44:04,536
batteries and motor oil We

4368
02:44:04,536 --> 02:44:05,236
should also implement programs

4369
02:44:05,236 --> 02:44:05,537
to collect and recycle tobacco

4370
02:44:05,537 --> 02:44:07,537
waste.

4371
02:44:11,910 --> 02:44:12,277
For me that is a ticket to

4372
02:44:12,277 --> 02:44:14,277
the polls.

4373
02:44:16,281 --> 02:44:16,581
Some people say But what about

4374
02:44:16,581 --> 02:44:17,449
media?

4375
02:44:17,449 --> 02:44:20,449
>> Our is asking you prioritize

4376
02:44:20,785 --> 02:44:21,152
our community and the health of

4377
02:44:21,152 --> 02:44:21,853
everyone.

4378
02:44:21,853 --> 02:44:22,453
San Diego represents itself as

4379
02:44:22,453 --> 02:44:25,453
a clean, safe and family

4380
02:44:29,930 --> 02:44:29,460
friendly city and in particular

4381
02:44:29,460 --> 02:44:31,460
political.

4382
02:44:33,298 --> 02:44:33,731
>> And as it stands city must

4383
02:44:33,731 --> 02:44:34,331
get to win.

4384
02:44:34,331 --> 02:44:34,999
>> However, our current

4385
02:44:34,999 --> 02:44:35,366
policies do not reflect that

4386
02:44:35,366 --> 02:44:37,366
standard.

4387
02:44:39,337 --> 02:44:40,138
We ask that you take action.

4388
02:44:40,138 --> 02:44:40,805
>> Did I say positive things?

4389
02:44:40,805 --> 02:44:41,172
Thank you for your time and

4390
02:44:41,172 --> 02:44:43,172
attention.

4391
02:44:45,430 --> 02:44:45,376
I'm grateful for our witnesses

4392
02:44:45,376 --> 02:44:46,440
.

4393
02:44:46,440 --> 02:44:48,444
>> Next is Korina Vega.

4394
02:44:49,814 --> 02:44:50,281
If you can please unmute

4395
02:44:50,281 --> 02:44:50,981
District eight.

4396
02:44:50,981 --> 02:44:51,649
I continue to be baffled that

4397
02:44:51,649 --> 02:44:54,490
many necessary programs are

4398
02:44:56,387 --> 02:44:57,880
partially or fully cut off and

4399
02:44:57,880 --> 02:44:57,756
we're constantly told there's

4400
02:44:57,756 --> 02:44:58,490
no money when the department

4401
02:44:58,490 --> 02:45:01,490
year after year increases their

4402
02:45:02,527 --> 02:45:03,940
budget at the expense of every

4403
02:45:03,940 --> 02:45:03,761
citizen safety health

4404
02:45:03,761 --> 02:45:04,429
especially the safety of our

4405
02:45:04,429 --> 02:45:07,429
brown and black brothers and

4406
02:45:08,633 --> 02:45:09,266
sisters who if I remind you are

4407
02:45:09,266 --> 02:45:09,934
seven times more likely to

4408
02:45:09,934 --> 02:45:11,934
experience unnecessary force

4409
02:45:12,670 --> 02:45:13,371
four police officers and nine

4410
02:45:13,371 --> 02:45:14,720
times more to be charged with

4411
02:45:14,720 --> 02:45:17,720
resisting an officer all while

4412
02:45:18,977 --> 02:45:19,711
crime has been down.

4413
02:45:19,711 --> 02:45:20,445
I was at the church meeting

4414
02:45:20,445 --> 02:45:23,445
with 15 other comrades for that

4415
02:45:23,716 --> 02:45:24,482
technology presentation and I

4416
02:45:24,482 --> 02:45:25,216
can not support the police

4417
02:45:25,216 --> 02:45:25,817
department or them getting more

4418
02:45:25,817 --> 02:45:26,551
surveillance technology.

4419
02:45:26,551 --> 02:45:30,751
They do not keep all members of

4420
02:45:30,788 --> 02:45:31,656
the community safe.

4421
02:45:31,656 --> 02:45:32,123
The city of San Diego is a

4422
02:45:32,123 --> 02:45:32,823
large community.

4423
02:45:32,823 --> 02:45:35,460
When you aren't true community

4424
02:45:35,460 --> 02:45:36,127
if you see one member

4425
02:45:36,127 --> 02:45:36,827
struggling you balance their

4426
02:45:36,827 --> 02:45:37,495
need by looking at who has an

4427
02:45:37,495 --> 02:45:40,495
excess to share To alleviate

4428
02:45:42,333 --> 02:45:43,201
that need.

4429
02:45:43,201 --> 02:45:43,935
At dpd has enough excess to fix

4430
02:45:43,935 --> 02:45:47,205
our city's budget and then some

4431
02:45:47,205 --> 02:45:47,972
We do not need to invest 2

4432
02:45:47,972 --> 02:45:48,673
million a year with a lpr for

4433
02:45:48,673 --> 02:45:51,730
surveillance like Darth Vader

4434
02:45:53,778 --> 02:45:54,412
supports nor an underwater

4435
02:45:54,412 --> 02:45:55,113
rovers or smart glasses.

4436
02:45:55,113 --> 02:45:55,613
There is no tough call in

4437
02:45:55,613 --> 02:45:57,613
saying that truth.

4438
02:45:59,684 --> 02:46:00,418
The truth that all hail pr

4439
02:46:00,418 --> 02:46:00,984
surveillance is a threat to our

4440
02:46:00,984 --> 02:46:02,984
constitutional rights.

4441
02:46:05,590 --> 02:46:06,257
The whole nation agrees.

4442
02:46:06,257 --> 02:46:06,891
Tony's video has gone viral

4443
02:46:06,891 --> 02:46:07,592
internationally the left,

4444
02:46:07,592 --> 02:46:11,192
the center and the right here

4445
02:46:11,529 --> 02:46:12,163
in this country are in

4446
02:46:12,163 --> 02:46:12,897
agreement that our rights

4447
02:46:12,897 --> 02:46:13,531
matter, our environment matters

4448
02:46:13,531 --> 02:46:16,531
And this technology is not

4449
02:46:17,368 --> 02:46:18,690
about safety but rather 24/7

4450
02:46:18,690 --> 02:46:18,503
surveillance to keep the rebel

4451
02:46:18,503 --> 02:46:20,503
scum in check.

4452
02:46:23,341 --> 02:46:23,942
Like in any dictatorship there

4453
02:46:23,942 --> 02:46:24,576
are enough billions in

4454
02:46:24,576 --> 02:46:25,243
the world to take a moral

4455
02:46:25,243 --> 02:46:28,843
stance and please be a hero.

4456
02:46:30,448 --> 02:46:31,148
>> Thank you.

4457
02:46:31,148 --> 02:46:34,148
Our next speaker is Roseanne

4458
02:46:37,355 --> 02:46:38,123
Barr started by opening

4459
02:46:38,123 --> 02:46:40,523
Parabolas which will crossover

4460
02:46:42,494 --> 02:46:44,494
across the translation.

4461
02:46:49,134 --> 02:46:49,444
>> Like what?

4462
02:46:49,444 --> 02:46:50,101
I'm.

4463
02:46:50,101 --> 02:46:50,502
What about cutting open it?

4464
02:46:50,502 --> 02:46:52,502
Why not?

4465
02:46:54,339 --> 02:46:57,939
Like I said when you know.

4466
02:47:00,545 --> 02:47:01,145
Good afternoon to City council

4467
02:47:01,145 --> 02:47:02,113
My name is Roseanne.

4468
02:47:02,113 --> 02:47:03,248
Can also be the funny bone and

4469
02:47:03,248 --> 02:47:06,248
people it's not that typically

4470
02:47:10,221 --> 02:47:10,989
member of the community.

4471
02:47:10,989 --> 02:47:12,891
I'm here as a constituent a

4472
02:47:12,891 --> 02:47:13,691
concerned mother about tobacco

4473
02:47:13,691 --> 02:47:17,291
product waste on the streets of

4474
02:47:19,430 --> 02:47:21,430
San Diego.

4475
02:47:29,274 --> 02:47:32,874
The folks that call my mother

4476
02:47:33,744 --> 02:47:36,144
generally in uniform people

4477
02:47:38,383 --> 02:47:39,500
from discarded tobacco products

4478
02:47:39,500 --> 02:47:42,500
are not just litter they're

4479
02:47:43,187 --> 02:47:43,888
most commonly littered consumer

4480
02:47:43,888 --> 02:47:44,588
waste product in the world and

4481
02:47:44,588 --> 02:47:46,988
preventable source of plastic

4482
02:47:48,159 --> 02:47:50,559
pollution That's going to

4483
02:47:56,901 --> 02:47:57,569
become apparent.

4484
02:47:57,569 --> 02:47:59,400
Also pretty interesting that

4485
02:47:59,400 --> 02:47:59,738
people will the exposure to

4486
02:47:59,738 --> 02:48:00,405
toxic chemicals and increase in

4487
02:48:00,405 --> 02:48:03,405
cleanup costs to cities like

4488
02:48:12,317 --> 02:48:16,517
San Diego With that in on our

4489
02:48:18,623 --> 02:48:22,126
fans and what it can throw

4490
02:48:22,126 --> 02:48:25,126
people making or farming one

4491
02:48:26,398 --> 02:48:27,640
way that we know what I bet

4492
02:48:27,640 --> 02:48:27,799
people do not realize that

4493
02:48:27,799 --> 02:48:28,533
tobacco litter contaminates our

4494
02:48:28,533 --> 02:48:31,533
water our land and environment.

4495
02:48:33,505 --> 02:48:34,205
For example, in my building my

4496
02:48:34,205 --> 02:48:34,873
upstairs neighbors smoke When

4497
02:48:34,873 --> 02:48:35,540
they finish they throw their

4498
02:48:35,540 --> 02:48:36,675
cigaret their cigaret waste

4499
02:48:36,675 --> 02:48:38,675
outside their home.

4500
02:48:44,583 --> 02:48:48,183
>> I think I'll be honest i

4501
02:48:50,155 --> 02:48:54,955
pick them to be the nails in my

4502
02:48:55,427 --> 02:48:56,194
as I get on to something before

4503
02:48:56,194 --> 02:48:59,794
it becomes as much attention as

4504
02:49:00,664 --> 02:49:01,333
I get it and it ends up inside

4505
02:49:01,333 --> 02:49:02,000
the homes below They do not

4506
02:49:02,000 --> 02:49:02,700
recognize how their actions

4507
02:49:02,700 --> 02:49:06,300
affect the lives of the people

4508
02:49:09,700 --> 02:49:09,641
around them And a baby was just

4509
02:49:09,641 --> 02:49:12,641
born with a heart defect.

4510
02:49:13,578 --> 02:49:17,178
They know somebody I tell them

4511
02:49:18,182 --> 02:49:20,182
to be.

4512
02:49:28,726 --> 02:49:29,393
I don't think they can And then

4513
02:49:29,393 --> 02:49:30,128
and science has shown us

4514
02:49:30,128 --> 02:49:30,695
the consequences of tobacco use

4515
02:49:30,695 --> 02:49:32,695
including exposure to

4516
02:49:33,431 --> 02:49:34,332
secondhand smoke.

4517
02:49:34,332 --> 02:49:34,933
>> We have to protect children

4518
02:49:34,933 --> 02:49:37,933
from the harm caused by

4519
02:49:42,974 --> 02:49:43,707
tobacco, nicotine influence

4520
02:49:43,707 --> 02:49:46,707
things in anything we politic.

4521
02:49:47,445 --> 02:49:48,213
I think that lacking in some

4522
02:49:48,213 --> 02:49:51,213
evil form very thankful for

4523
02:49:57,455 --> 02:49:58,156
that think this is what we can

4524
02:49:58,156 --> 02:49:58,823
do We ask that you take action

4525
02:49:58,823 --> 02:49:59,558
and implement a policy that

4526
02:49:59,558 --> 02:50:00,258
helps protect the people of San

4527
02:50:00,258 --> 02:50:00,592
Diego from the harm caused by

4528
02:50:00,592 --> 02:50:01,259
tobacco.

4529
02:50:01,259 --> 02:50:03,194
Thank you for your time and

4530
02:50:03,194 --> 02:50:03,895
attention and I just want that

4531
02:50:03,895 --> 02:50:04,563
does conclude on agenda public

4532
02:50:04,563 --> 02:50:04,996
comment for today's meeting.

4533
02:50:04,996 --> 02:50:05,363
>> All right.

4534
02:50:05,363 --> 02:50:07,363
Thank you.

4535
02:50:09,340 --> 02:50:09,634
City clerk With that will turn

4536
02:50:09,634 --> 02:50:10,267
it over to the office of

4537
02:50:10,267 --> 02:50:10,902
the city attorney Is there

4538
02:50:10,902 --> 02:50:11,369
anything to report out in

4539
02:50:11,369 --> 02:50:13,369
closed session?

4540
02:50:14,406 --> 02:50:14,706
There's nothing to report

4541
02:50:14,706 --> 02:50:15,730
today.

4542
02:50:15,730 --> 02:50:15,606
All right.

4543
02:50:15,606 --> 02:50:16,307
Thank you for that.

4544
02:50:16,307 --> 02:50:16,908
And with that we will now

4545
02:50:16,908 --> 02:50:18,908
