projects in particular about

172
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,163
how those would be affected by

173
00:10:25,163 --> 00:10:27,163
that privatization process.

174
00:10:27,598 --> 00:10:29,400

budget. And tonight I can

179
00:10:33,671 --> 00:10:36,710

180
00:10:37,608 --> 00:10:40,800

194
00:11:05,369 --> 00:11:06,690
that is for projects that are

195
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:09,690
currently in design with the

196
00:11:09,340 --> 00:11:10,575
vast majority of that

197
00:11:10,575 --> 00:11:11,376
anticipated to be delivered

198
00:11:11,376 --> 00:11:14,976
next fiscal You can see here

199
00:11:16,381 --> 00:11:18,781
on this table essentially

200
00:11:20,118 --> 00:11:21,720
those first 5 projects are all

201
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,420
for delivery. And then the mlk

202
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:23,870
Neighborhood Park renovation

203
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:25,487
is for environmental review

204
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:26,357
and clearance of that. So we

205
00:11:26,357 --> 00:11:27,580
expect to deliver all 5 of

206
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:29,458
those projects beginning this

207
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,197
coming fiscal year. Can

208
00:11:32,197 --> 00:11:34,597
specifically say that the

209
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:37,700
South Davis and Kiwanis

210
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,171
Springs projects there are

211
00:11:40,171 --> 00:11:40,839
written need one additional

212
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:43,839
approval and then we'll put

213
00:11:43,875 --> 00:11:45,176
those out to bid.

214
00:11:45,176 --> 00:11:46,477
>> Similar for the Howard

215
00:11:46,477 --> 00:11:47,178
Coffin Park projects where

216
00:11:47,178 --> 00:11:50,778
very close to putting that to

217
00:11:50,782 --> 00:11:51,416
bed.

218
00:11:51,416 --> 00:11:53,816
>> I've also included the

219
00:11:53,818 --> 00:11:54,519
Valley golf course irrigation

220
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:58,119
pond on the slide that just

221
00:11:59,124 --> 00:12:00,158
went through 75% design review

222
00:12:00,158 --> 00:12:01,660
and again is on track to be

223
00:12:01,660 --> 00:12:02,327
later right now. That's of

224
00:12:02,327 --> 00:12:03,610
interest to everybody. And

225
00:12:03,610 --> 00:12:06,661
talk about that again a little

226
00:12:06,698 --> 00:12:07,532
bit later. And Morgantown, one

227
00:12:07,532 --> 00:12:09,467
other project I wanted to

228
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:12,504
highlight on this slide is the

229
00:12:12,504 --> 00:12:14,904
Roseland Creek Park. While

230
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,275
though Park design is I'm

231
00:12:17,275 --> 00:12:18,100
going, we will be building a

232
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:18,677
path and a crossing to present

233
00:12:18,677 --> 00:12:21,677
a column entry school this

234
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:22,514
coming summer. And we intend

235
00:12:22,514 --> 00:12:25,250
to have that opened before

236
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:26,385
school starts next year. So I

237
00:12:26,385 --> 00:12:28,387
know that's a key connection

238
00:12:28,387 --> 00:12:29,121
through that. If you've been

239
00:12:29,121 --> 00:12:30,222
by that park, you see the goat

240
00:12:30,222 --> 00:12:31,323
trails of people walking

241
00:12:31,323 --> 00:12:34,323
through it, but providing that

242
00:12:40,650 --> 00:12:41,300
connection to the school and

243
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,680
formal crossing. I think we'll

244
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:43,702
be of great benefit to that

245
00:12:43,702 --> 00:12:46,102
area and particularly to

246
00:12:48,374 --> 00:12:50,376
students at that school.

247
00:12:50,376 --> 00:12:50,976
There's another on nearly

248
00:12:50,976 --> 00:12:51,677
22 million dollars for

249
00:12:51,677 --> 00:12:54,677
projects that are in planning

250
00:12:55,781 --> 00:12:57,820
and design. And that bottom

251
00:12:57,820 --> 00:13:00,653
table, we are looking for ways

252
00:13:00,653 --> 00:13:01,687
to kind of rearrange the money

253
00:13:01,687 --> 00:13:02,387
based on timing of specific

254
00:13:02,387 --> 00:13:05,157
projects and see if anything

255
00:13:05,157 --> 00:13:06,250
can be advanced quickly.

256
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:09,250
There's a certain amount of

257
00:13:09,962 --> 00:13:11,263
that money that is measure and

258
00:13:11,263 --> 00:13:11,964
money and looking for those 11

259
00:13:11,964 --> 00:13:14,964
projects at the bottom there

260
00:13:17,336 --> 00:13:18,370
to see if if any of those are

261
00:13:18,370 --> 00:13:18,637
solely funding constrained or

262
00:13:18,637 --> 00:13:19,270
if there are design and

263
00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:21,720
permitting questions that

264
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,472
relate to those. But

265
00:13:23,475 --> 00:13:24,443
essentially we've done an

266
00:13:24,443 --> 00:13:25,244
audit of every dollar the

267
00:13:25,244 --> 00:13:27,279
Parks department has available

268
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,415
to it to deliver capital

269
00:13:29,415 --> 00:13:30,850
projects. You see all of those

270
00:13:30,850 --> 00:13:33,452
dollars on this on these 2

271
00:13:33,452 --> 00:13:36,522
sides here and the tables. And

272
00:13:36,522 --> 00:13:38,457
so provide an opportunity for

273
00:13:38,457 --> 00:13:39,910
review and suggestions for

274
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:40,590
budgets a session or any

275
00:13:40,590 --> 00:13:42,127
questions back to me or to

276
00:13:42,127 --> 00:13:44,297
park staff about where those

277
00:13:44,297 --> 00:13:45,310
dollars are are headed in the

278
00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:45,698
future. And with anticipated

279
00:13:45,698 --> 00:13:48,698
delivery dates for each of

280
00:13:49,235 --> 00:13:49,902
those projects, too. Directed

281
00:13:49,902 --> 00:13:53,172
him see before you go on, I

282
00:13:53,172 --> 00:13:56,750
want to draw your attention.

283
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:57,750
To the Ml King Junior

284
00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:57,877
neighborhood Park you'll

285
00:13:57,877 --> 00:14:00,513
notice on the sheet. It says

286
00:14:00,513 --> 00:14:02,513
2 million dollars remaining.

287
00:14:02,682 --> 00:14:05,550
What I have asked staff to

288
00:14:05,550 --> 00:14:06,351
most of the planning came from

289
00:14:06,351 --> 00:14:07,453
the community.

290
00:14:07,453 --> 00:14:08,121
>> What I've asked them to do

291
00:14:08,121 --> 00:14:09,955
is we need to make certain

292
00:14:09,955 --> 00:14:10,656
that we spend this infill

293
00:14:10,656 --> 00:14:11,323
infrastructure grant. We want

294
00:14:11,323 --> 00:14:12,625
to make certain that we're

295
00:14:12,625 --> 00:14:14,627
getting the funding out the

296
00:14:14,627 --> 00:14:16,496
door. So we need to go back to

297
00:14:16,496 --> 00:14:19,465
the community and put this in

298
00:14:19,465 --> 00:14:20,133
phases. Go ahead pared down a

299
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:23,200
little bit to the amount of

300
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,700
funding that we do have. And

301
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:26,720
in the event we do get extra

302
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,206
funding MAY be for the

303
00:14:27,206 --> 00:14:29,576
2 million dollars. We can put

304
00:14:29,576 --> 00:14:30,810
it in phases. So staff is

305
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:31,544
prepared enough. Had this

306
00:14:31,544 --> 00:14:33,679
conversation with the director

307
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:34,347
Hennessy as well to go ahead

308
00:14:34,347 --> 00:14:36,850
and get the funding out the

309
00:14:36,850 --> 00:14:40,450
door for phase one. Thank you

310
00:14:43,690 --> 00:14:44,724
for that city manager.

311
00:14:44,724 --> 00:14:46,526
>> Moving forward to water

312
00:14:46,526 --> 00:14:48,526
cip. There's nearly

313
00:14:48,795 --> 00:14:50,864
150 million dollars in those

314
00:14:50,864 --> 00:14:51,564
accounts, almost 50 million

315
00:14:51,564 --> 00:14:52,198
dollars of that is currently

316
00:14:52,198 --> 00:14:54,134
encumbered either through

317
00:14:54,134 --> 00:14:55,680
design or construction

318
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,468
contracts have just over

319
00:14:58,204 --> 00:14:59,372
100 million dollars available.

320
00:14:59,372 --> 00:15:00,106
And more than 90 million

321
00:15:00,106 --> 00:15:01,700
dollars of that is either for

322
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:01,607
projects that are currently in

323
00:15:01,607 --> 00:15:04,607
design or are ready for

324
00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:07,112
design. Speak specifically

325
00:15:07,112 --> 00:15:09,512
that's across all 3 funding

326
00:15:10,817 --> 00:15:11,685
sources for water speak

327
00:15:11,685 --> 00:15:12,852
specifically to those projects

328
00:15:12,852 --> 00:15:15,852
over the next couple slides

329
00:15:16,723 --> 00:15:19,123
for sewer in particular.

330
00:15:19,492 --> 00:15:20,192
There's 44 million dollars

331
00:15:20,192 --> 00:15:21,594
available, we have 32 million

332
00:15:21,594 --> 00:15:23,530
dollars of that is anticipated

333
00:15:23,530 --> 00:15:25,930
for projects that are

334
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,167
anticipated to be in the next

335
00:15:27,167 --> 00:15:28,434
fiscal year. So you'll also

336
00:15:28,434 --> 00:15:29,136
notice that put in here on the

337
00:15:29,136 --> 00:15:32,136
table with the remaining need

338
00:15:32,272 --> 00:15:33,440
is for any of those projects.

339
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,374
We are moving forward. And I

340
00:15:34,374 --> 00:15:35,740
with discussion we just had

341
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:35,876
about funding projects that

342
00:15:35,876 --> 00:15:38,779
are ready to go and moving

343
00:15:38,779 --> 00:15:41,779
funds around for delivery. We

344
00:15:41,781 --> 00:15:42,882
have no remaining need

345
00:15:42,882 --> 00:15:43,516
identified right now based on

346
00:15:43,516 --> 00:15:44,785
our expectations for the

347
00:15:44,785 --> 00:15:45,751
majority of those projects. We

348
00:15:45,751 --> 00:15:46,486
have one that we've actually

349
00:15:46,486 --> 00:15:49,956
moved up. We think that we can

350
00:15:49,956 --> 00:15:51,190
get that done faster. And so

351
00:15:51,190 --> 00:15:51,925
that's why it's not programmed

352
00:15:51,925 --> 00:15:54,794
for full funding this year. As

353
00:15:54,794 --> 00:15:58,640
of right now. But there is

354
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:58,966
funding available to and

355
00:15:58,966 --> 00:15:59,733
center of water to move that

356
00:15:59,733 --> 00:16:00,433
around if we need to. And if

357
00:16:00,433 --> 00:16:03,971
we're able to deliver that as

358
00:16:03,971 --> 00:16:05,105
quickly as we think we can.

359
00:16:05,105 --> 00:16:06,600
There is there is remaining

360
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,307
need for projects that are

361
00:16:07,307 --> 00:16:10,307
farther out. But we've started

362
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:11,445
funding those for design

363
00:16:11,445 --> 00:16:12,613
permitting activities again

364
00:16:12,613 --> 00:16:13,680
facing those in overtime while

365
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,381
not committing full

366
00:16:14,381 --> 00:16:15,490
construction funds to any of

367
00:16:15,490 --> 00:16:17,584
those until those funds are

368
00:16:17,584 --> 00:16:19,584
necessary.

369
00:16:23,657 --> 00:16:24,725
>> Similar story for the Water

370
00:16:24,725 --> 00:16:25,426
Fund. A dozen projects

371
00:16:25,426 --> 00:16:26,159
anticipated for the remainder

372
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,759
of this fiscal year and fiscal

373
00:16:29,997 --> 00:16:31,198
year. 25 26. And that would be

374
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:33,000
more than 30 million dollars

375
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,340
worth of capital project

376
00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:35,703
delivery with no remaining

377
00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:38,703
need identified for any of

378
00:16:39,974 --> 00:16:40,541
those projects. Leslie of 4

supporting regional

381

infrastructure. We have a half

382
00:16:44,911 --> 00:16:46,447
dozen projects.

383
00:16:46,447 --> 00:16:47,181
>> there are ongoing or

384
00:16:47,181 --> 00:16:50,181
anticipated to be let sometime

385
00:16:54,154 --> 00:16:55,422
in the next 12 months.

386
00:16:55,422 --> 00:16:56,157
>> mostly full, fully funded.

387
00:16:56,157 --> 00:16:56,824
And when there's contingencies

388
00:16:56,824 --> 00:16:59,824
available to to fund those

389
00:17:00,194 --> 00:17:02,329
projects. Highlight those to

390
00:17:02,329 --> 00:17:02,964
notice that across the 3 water

391
00:17:02,964 --> 00:17:05,266
funding sources, we have

392
00:17:05,266 --> 00:17:05,966
almost 30 projects that we

393
00:17:05,966 --> 00:17:09,136
anticipate to be in the next

394
00:17:09,136 --> 00:17:11,536
12 to 15 months totaling just

395
00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:13,975
over 100 million dollars. So

396
00:17:13,975 --> 00:17:14,775
you see 100 150 million

397
00:17:14,775 --> 00:17:16,744
dollars available. That's a

398
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:18,846
lot that they've been a lot of

399
00:17:18,846 --> 00:17:19,814
backlog. But we've really

400
00:17:19,814 --> 00:17:21,615
focus the last 6 months or so

401
00:17:21,615 --> 00:17:22,783
on getting them to the point

402
00:17:22,783 --> 00:17:24,619
where they're deliverable,

403
00:17:24,619 --> 00:17:26,654
expect to be able to do that.

404
00:17:26,654 --> 00:17:27,321
So expect some of numbers in

405
00:17:27,321 --> 00:17:30,321
terms of the dollar amount

406
00:17:30,758 --> 00:17:31,759
available to us to go down in

407
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,940
the next 12 to 18 months as we

408
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:33,728
begin delivering some of these

409
00:17:33,728 --> 00:17:34,362
improvements and a lot of

410
00:17:34,362 --> 00:17:35,296
these water improvements,

411
00:17:35,296 --> 00:17:38,466
especially the ones out of the

412
00:17:38,466 --> 00:17:40,267
plant community will never see

413
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:43,370
some of the other ones are

414
00:17:43,370 --> 00:17:43,704
buried under asphalt and our

415
00:17:43,704 --> 00:17:45,707
our list stations or than a

416
00:17:45,707 --> 00:17:46,807
complimentary of auxiliary

417
00:17:46,807 --> 00:17:47,809
facilities that are vital to

418
00:17:47,809 --> 00:17:50,209
the water infrastructure. But

419
00:17:51,813 --> 00:17:54,813
again, the community will only

420
00:17:56,517 --> 00:17:57,151
notice if they don't work.

421
00:17:57,151 --> 00:17:59,151
Moving to transportation.

422
00:18:01,589 --> 00:18:02,123
Public works. We have a number

423
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,123
of projects ongoing

424
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,761
construction right now. More

425
00:18:06,761 --> 00:18:07,862
than 20 million dollars of our

426
00:18:07,862 --> 00:18:09,640
funds are for projects that

427
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,464
are currently in construction.

428
00:18:13,134 --> 00:18:15,534
Those include the Interchange

429
00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:16,737
Coffey Park and found Grove

430
00:18:16,737 --> 00:18:17,439
paving project section of

431
00:18:17,439 --> 00:18:20,439
Sonoma Avenue from the street

432
00:18:20,942 --> 00:18:22,143
to buy the lane. Center is

433
00:18:22,143 --> 00:18:24,479
Avenue and preparatory work

434
00:18:24,479 --> 00:18:25,280
for the bicycle pedestrian

435
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,914
overcrossing where we moved a

436
00:18:26,914 --> 00:18:28,516
storm drain and the last

437
00:18:28,516 --> 00:18:29,217
couple months on the east side

438
00:18:29,217 --> 00:18:32,687
of the freeway from where the

439
00:18:32,687 --> 00:18:34,623
landing spot will be. So all

440
00:18:34,623 --> 00:18:35,824
of that work is either ongoing

441
00:18:35,824 --> 00:18:37,920
or completed. But that

442
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:37,726
accounts for nearly 19 million

443
00:18:37,726 --> 00:18:40,126
dollars of the available

444
00:18:41,329 --> 00:18:42,163
funding. Of the 39 million

445
00:18:42,163 --> 00:18:43,164
dollars that we have for

446
00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:46,164
projects that are in design

447
00:18:47,736 --> 00:18:48,737
oops. More than 27 million

448
00:18:48,737 --> 00:18:49,637
dollars of that is for

449
00:18:49,637 --> 00:18:52,637
projects that we will be

450
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:55,510
delivering by MARCH of 2026.

451
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:56,511
There are 3 traffic signals on

452
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:58,911
here. A half-dozen paving

453
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:02,840
projects. A couple obviously

454
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,553
the big one for everyone to

455
00:19:05,553 --> 00:19:06,622
take note of is the bicycle

456
00:19:06,622 --> 00:19:08,456
pedestrian overcrossing when

457
00:19:08,456 --> 00:19:10,492
the current status on that is

458
00:19:10,492 --> 00:19:11,192
that we are waiting one

459
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:12,494
approval from Caltrans. We're

460
00:19:12,494 --> 00:19:15,494
waiting, won approval from pg

461
00:19:15,531 --> 00:19:16,632
e at which point we can go to

462
00:19:16,632 --> 00:19:17,499
ntc and California

463
00:19:17,499 --> 00:19:18,133
Transportation Commission and

464
00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:20,869
asked them to give us the

465
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:22,400
money that they promised So

466
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:22,604
those are really the 4 steps.

467
00:19:22,604 --> 00:19:26,204
And then we will have a

468
00:19:26,841 --> 00:19:27,543
project that we can bit. Down

469
00:19:27,543 --> 00:19:31,143
to 4 steps. It's nice to have

470
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:33,749
a short There's still a lot of

471
00:19:33,749 --> 00:19:34,383
work to and we're working

472
00:19:34,383 --> 00:19:35,950
specifically with pg and

473
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:36,652
Caltrans to get those purples.

474
00:19:36,652 --> 00:19:39,652
Those are really the biggest

475
00:19:40,222 --> 00:19:41,824
hurdles. The rest is

476
00:19:41,824 --> 00:19:42,524
administrative and just kind

477
00:19:42,524 --> 00:19:43,358
Time Sox into in terms of the

478
00:19:43,358 --> 00:19:46,358
schedule. But they need to

479
00:19:49,732 --> 00:19:51,400
happen. Similarly for the

480
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,535
others, we have moved funds

481
00:19:53,535 --> 00:19:55,104
around significantly so that

482
00:19:55,104 --> 00:19:58,704
we have no remaining need on

483
00:19:59,700 --> 00:19:59,675
any of these projects based

484
00:19:59,675 --> 00:20:00,809
engineers estimates we have

485
00:20:00,809 --> 00:20:01,710
completely funded every

486
00:20:01,710 --> 00:20:03,478
project. You see a number of

487
00:20:03,478 --> 00:20:05,147
projects on here that have

488
00:20:05,147 --> 00:20:07,817
been on on capital improvement

489
00:20:07,817 --> 00:20:09,180
lists for the last several

490
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:10,553
years. We're fully confident

491
00:20:10,553 --> 00:20:11,854
that all of these can move

492
00:20:11,854 --> 00:20:14,854
forward. We'll have a number

493
00:20:15,557 --> 00:20:16,259
of projects opening bids in

494
00:20:16,259 --> 00:20:19,259
the next couple weeks. We'll

495
00:20:19,495 --> 00:20:20,229
have a couple of them more

496
00:20:20,229 --> 00:20:22,629
releasing bit opportunities in

497
00:20:23,532 --> 00:20:24,367
the next couple weeks. We've

498
00:20:24,367 --> 00:20:24,933
been sharing those

499
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:25,868
opportunities and the

500
00:20:25,868 --> 00:20:27,868
anticipation of those

501
00:20:29,171 --> 00:20:30,720
opportunities with contractor

502
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,400
community and they're

503
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,800
increasingly excited about

504
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:33,675
working with city of Santa

505
00:20:33,675 --> 00:20:34,410
Rosa making sure that they

506
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:37,410
have capacity to deliver these

507
00:20:38,948 --> 00:20:41,984
for us. For close. I want to

508
00:20:41,984 --> 00:20:42,685
highlight just a couple of

509
00:20:42,685 --> 00:20:43,585
specific, a specific interest

510
00:20:43,585 --> 00:20:46,354
to this council. Again, I

511
00:20:46,354 --> 00:20:47,355
mentioned that nfl a golf

512
00:20:47,355 --> 00:20:47,990
course earlier, but we're

513
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:50,990
really excited to be able

514
00:20:52,895 --> 00:20:54,664
follow through on that promise

515
00:20:54,664 --> 00:20:56,733
her community have we talked

516
00:20:56,733 --> 00:20:58,968
NOVEMBER? I believe about

517
00:20:58,968 --> 00:20:59,634
issuing word of contract we

518
00:20:59,634 --> 00:21:01,471
have since awarded the are

519
00:21:01,471 --> 00:21:02,538
issued a notice to proceed for

520
00:21:02,538 --> 00:21:03,873
that design. The design

521
00:21:03,873 --> 00:21:07,473
portion of the design build to

522
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:09,445
continue and working with our

523
00:21:09,445 --> 00:21:10,780
contractor team. It's win or

524
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:10,813
10 and they're consulting

525
00:21:10,813 --> 00:21:14,413
team. Things are going well so

526
00:21:16,486 --> 00:21:17,453
far I really confident about

527
00:21:17,453 --> 00:21:21,530
where site layout is and where

528
00:21:21,357 --> 00:21:24,957
the fire station is. And then

529
00:21:25,295 --> 00:21:26,620
lastly, as of 2 hours ago, we

530
00:21:26,620 --> 00:21:29,620
close to bin Opportunity for

531
00:21:29,699 --> 00:21:30,366
the garage and improved wastes

532
00:21:30,366 --> 00:21:33,366
for that that this council

533
00:21:33,836 --> 00:21:34,537
helped fund a couple years ago

534
00:21:34,537 --> 00:21:35,538
when I sat back down, I hope

535
00:21:35,538 --> 00:21:37,473
to have an e-mail showing me

536
00:21:37,473 --> 00:21:39,409
the results of that that

537
00:21:39,409 --> 00:21:41,809
opportunity. But just letting

538
00:21:42,112 --> 00:21:44,914
everyone know that did come to

539
00:21:44,914 --> 00:21:46,115
fruition the 26 people in the

540
00:21:46,115 --> 00:21:46,750
fleet, division are very

541
00:21:46,750 --> 00:21:50,350
excited about it as are a

542
00:21:52,989 --> 00:21:53,690
number of their clients hoping

543
00:21:53,690 --> 00:21:54,357
for improved and more quicker

544
00:21:54,357 --> 00:21:57,957
service as a result of that

545
00:21:58,928 --> 00:22:00,630
improve facility. Well, that's

546
00:22:00,630 --> 00:22:01,331
again will be back in MAY to

547
00:22:01,331 --> 00:22:03,433
talk about budget for fiscal

548
00:22:03,433 --> 00:22:05,834
year. 25 26. But a preview is

549
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:06,502
that we funded most of the

550
00:22:06,502 --> 00:22:07,700
stuff that we're currently

551
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:09,700
working on anticipate

552
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:09,773
delivering quite a bit to the

553
00:22:09,773 --> 00:22:13,373
rest of this fiscal year and

554
00:22:14,744 --> 00:22:17,447
into next. Quietly. A very

555
00:22:17,447 --> 00:22:18,148
exciting report, MR. Hennessy,

556
00:22:18,148 --> 00:22:21,148
thank you. Turning to council

557
00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:27,691
questions. I'm working on this

558
00:22:27,691 --> 00:22:28,792
cookies. I was hoping to not

559
00:22:28,792 --> 00:22:30,527
have to go first, but I didn't

560
00:22:30,527 --> 00:22:31,227
see anybody else clamoring for

561
00:22:31,227 --> 00:22:33,596
me to buy you time All right.

562
00:22:33,596 --> 00:22:34,531
I mean, right, let me buy a

563
00:22:34,531 --> 00:22:35,232
little time.

564
00:22:35,232 --> 00:22:38,368
>> Dan, you hinted at this in

565
00:22:38,368 --> 00:22:38,969
your report, but can you just

566
00:22:38,969 --> 00:22:40,103
I know that a big point

567
00:22:40,103 --> 00:22:41,400
emphasis for keeping w has

568
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,705
been to increase the momentum

569
00:22:42,705 --> 00:22:45,142
of getting projects out the

570
00:22:45,142 --> 00:22:46,977
door and were clearly making

571
00:22:46,977 --> 00:22:48,345
making are making progress in

572
00:22:48,345 --> 00:22:49,513
that direction. Do you have a

573
00:22:49,513 --> 00:22:51,648
sense that we're gonna be able

574
00:22:51,648 --> 00:22:52,683
to maintain this increased

575
00:22:52,683 --> 00:22:55,683
even even unanswered the years

576
00:22:56,619 --> 00:22:58,956
to come? What's your sense?

577
00:22:58,956 --> 00:23:02,556
Yes, with one caveat we have

578
00:23:02,626 --> 00:23:03,600
had increased sources of

579
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:03,894
funding from.

580
00:23:03,894 --> 00:23:05,562
>> Federal recovery from state

581
00:23:05,562 --> 00:23:06,930
recovery sources. And so the

582
00:23:06,930 --> 00:23:08,650
number of projects that we've

583
00:23:08,650 --> 00:23:10,234
had has been very high as a

584
00:23:10,234 --> 00:23:12,269
result of those recovery

585
00:23:12,269 --> 00:23:14,271
efforts. They've also dragging

586
00:23:14,271 --> 00:23:14,872
on a long time because of the

587
00:23:14,872 --> 00:23:15,606
complications from

588
00:23:15,606 --> 00:23:18,600
coordinating federal and state

589
00:23:19,275 --> 00:23:21,345
grants or says. And and

590
00:23:21,345 --> 00:23:22,346
maintaining the existing funds

591
00:23:22,346 --> 00:23:23,180
that we typically get through

592
00:23:23,180 --> 00:23:23,913
capital improvements or gas

593
00:23:23,913 --> 00:23:26,216
taxes and things like that. On

594
00:23:26,216 --> 00:23:28,510
top of that load. So there

595
00:23:28,510 --> 00:23:30,120
will be that pressure on the

596
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,154
recovery portion of this will

597
00:23:31,154 --> 00:23:31,955
be removed in the next 18

598
00:23:31,955 --> 00:23:32,623
months or so as we complete

599
00:23:32,623 --> 00:23:34,992
some of those projects that

600
00:23:34,992 --> 00:23:36,160
are on this list. And so we'll

601
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,427
be able to get to the kind

602
00:23:37,427 --> 00:23:38,128
kind bread and butter stuff

603
00:23:38,128 --> 00:23:41,128
that I've been talking about

604
00:23:41,798 --> 00:23:42,999
for the last few months and

605
00:23:42,999 --> 00:23:44,802
more tune to pavement

606
00:23:44,802 --> 00:23:45,469
maintenance and making sure

607
00:23:45,469 --> 00:23:46,437
that the resources that we

608
00:23:46,437 --> 00:23:50,374
have that we expect to have in

609
00:23:50,374 --> 00:23:51,800
our part of a typical delivery

610
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:51,742
program. I'm actually are

611
00:23:51,742 --> 00:23:52,943
programmed annually and we can

612
00:23:52,943 --> 00:23:55,780
deliver improvements for the

613
00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:57,247
community. So in answer to say

614
00:23:57,247 --> 00:23:59,349
yes, excellent and related

615
00:23:59,349 --> 00:24:00,317
question. I think I heard you

616
00:24:00,317 --> 00:24:01,118
say that you are. You have

617
00:24:01,118 --> 00:24:02,653
been in touch with contractors

618
00:24:02,653 --> 00:24:03,354
to determine whether they have

619
00:24:03,354 --> 00:24:05,189
the capacity to deal with

620
00:24:05,189 --> 00:24:06,157
that. We to deal with some or

621
00:24:06,157 --> 00:24:07,358
upcoming projects.

622
00:24:07,358 --> 00:24:08,250
>> Have we really had

623
00:24:08,250 --> 00:24:08,758
conversations asking asking

624
00:24:08,758 --> 00:24:10,761
firms or they can keep up with

625
00:24:10,761 --> 00:24:11,562
the city in the months to

626
00:24:11,562 --> 00:24:12,196
come.

627
00:24:12,196 --> 00:24:14,632
>> Yemen and maybe that a

628
00:24:14,632 --> 00:24:15,633
little tongue in cheek. Some

629
00:24:15,633 --> 00:24:17,534
of what I've heard in the last

630
00:24:17,534 --> 00:24:19,300
12 months or so is that

631
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:19,604
contractors can be a little

632
00:24:19,604 --> 00:24:20,337
bit blindsided by our

633
00:24:20,337 --> 00:24:22,737
opportunities when they're not

634
00:24:24,976 --> 00:24:27,450
anticipating them. And I don't

635
00:24:27,450 --> 00:24:28,880
want a lack of bids because

636
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,614
they weren't anticipating

637
00:24:29,614 --> 00:24:30,314
them. So I've been sharing

638
00:24:30,314 --> 00:24:32,714
schedule, not dissimilar from

639
00:24:33,117 --> 00:24:34,519
this one with them. So that

640
00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:36,860
they can plan make they can

641
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:36,721
spread through the

642
00:24:36,721 --> 00:24:37,422
engineering. Contractors

643
00:24:37,422 --> 00:24:39,822
associations are the builders

644
00:24:40,224 --> 00:24:40,925
exchange or others. It

645
00:24:40,925 --> 00:24:42,260
changes. They know that, but

646
00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:42,759
at least they can have some

647
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:43,361
anticipation of when different

648
00:24:43,361 --> 00:24:44,462
opportunities might be

649
00:24:44,462 --> 00:24:46,862
available to them. Excellent

650
00:24:47,765 --> 00:24:48,466
once again this morning.

651
00:24:48,466 --> 00:24:51,466
>> That's a great approach. I

652
00:24:52,937 --> 00:24:54,305
like that. I'm going to ask

653
00:24:54,305 --> 00:24:56,705
you probably predictably about

654
00:24:57,809 --> 00:25:00,845
the over cross its hard to

655
00:25:00,845 --> 00:25:03,247
hear that it's caltrain pg and

656
00:25:03,247 --> 00:25:04,182
e that is it just isn't lost

657
00:25:04,182 --> 00:25:04,883
and their administrative not

658
00:25:04,883 --> 00:25:09,830
lost. But is it stuck in most

659
00:25:11,222 --> 00:25:12,257
places?

660
00:25:12,257 --> 00:25:15,193
>> done a lot of work with

661
00:25:15,193 --> 00:25:15,927
Caltrans last few months to

662
00:25:15,927 --> 00:25:17,362
narrow the scope of this final

663
00:25:17,362 --> 00:25:18,630
review that we need. I think

664
00:25:18,630 --> 00:25:20,665
we've gotten to a pretty good

665
00:25:20,665 --> 00:25:21,366
place with them. And I'm

666
00:25:21,366 --> 00:25:23,766
fairly optimistic about where

667
00:25:25,136 --> 00:25:29,140
we are with Caltrans. Pg. E is

668
00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:31,176
a different story. He's

669
00:25:31,176 --> 00:25:32,244
Administrative hurdles and

670
00:25:32,244 --> 00:25:33,478
changing stories and

671
00:25:33,478 --> 00:25:35,380
uncertainty about exactly what

672
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:37,582
level of agreement, what level

673
00:25:37,582 --> 00:25:39,170
of design review that they've

674
00:25:39,170 --> 00:25:42,170
had. Again, we inch closer

675
00:25:43,540 --> 00:25:44,188
every day but if you asked me

676
00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:45,156
what we needed to do 2 months

677
00:25:45,156 --> 00:25:45,824
ago, it would be different

678
00:25:45,824 --> 00:25:48,759
than what I would tell you

679
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:52,464
today because of what pg e is

680
00:25:52,464 --> 00:25:54,464
required of Cautiously

681
00:25:56,167 --> 00:25:57,135
optimistic, but also very much

682
00:25:57,135 --> 00:25:57,835
paying attention to everything

683
00:25:57,835 --> 00:25:59,871
that happens on that front to

684
00:25:59,871 --> 00:26:03,471
know. How the winds turn on

685
00:26:03,641 --> 00:26:06,641
any given day. Director him

686
00:26:07,246 --> 00:26:09,414

688
00:26:13,385 --> 00:26:14,530
manager's office. So we have.

689
00:26:14,530 --> 00:26:14,786
>> Made a call to meet with

690
00:26:14,786 --> 00:26:15,520
pga need to talk about what we

691
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,720
need to do to move the project

692
00:26:21,626 --> 00:26:22,327
forward.

693
00:26:22,327 --> 00:26:23,280
>> Thank you. And with that,

694
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,498
we go to public comment, MR.

695
00:26:26,498 --> 00:26:28,367
Do it. Apologies, MR. Do it.

696
00:26:28,367 --> 00:26:29,000
We have we had did have one of

697
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,135
the question for council.

698
00:26:30,135 --> 00:26:32,471
Actually, we have to now

699
00:26:32,471 --> 00:26:34,871
there. Popping up like

700
00:26:35,908 --> 00:26:37,543
wildflowers as Ben Thank you,

701
00:26:37,543 --> 00:26:41,143
Mayor. I just had a question.

702
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:43,749
Thank you for presentation

703
00:26:43,749 --> 00:26:45,584
directed him see. And I really

704
00:26:45,584 --> 00:26:46,180
excited that many of these

705
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:46,685
projects are.

706
00:26:46,685 --> 00:26:47,620
>> You know, they're funded

707
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:49,880
and they're going to go

708
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:49,755
forward. I was just curious be

709
00:26:49,755 --> 00:26:53,955
remiss if I did not ask you

710
00:26:57,129 --> 00:27:00,432
about. Tp w Cip I don't know

711
00:27:00,432 --> 00:27:01,167
what pitch of is. I apologize.

712
00:27:01,167 --> 00:27:03,350
The North Dayton Avenue, Road

713
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:03,702
Diet and pedestrian

714
00:27:03,702 --> 00:27:05,938
improvement. It just a few

715
00:27:05,938 --> 00:27:09,538
talk about that a little bit.

716
00:27:11,243 --> 00:27:13,112
>> Now one of North Avenue is

717
00:27:13,112 --> 00:27:13,812
on our Eye Injury Network,

718
00:27:13,812 --> 00:27:15,514
which indicates history of

719
00:27:15,514 --> 00:27:16,810
severe injury or fatal

720
00:27:16,810 --> 00:27:18,810
collisions.

721
00:27:20,386 --> 00:27:22,888
>> It's also on our bicycle

722
00:27:22,888 --> 00:27:23,556
plan through our traffic

723
00:27:23,556 --> 00:27:24,257
engineering team, there is

724
00:27:24,257 --> 00:27:26,657
excess capacity for vehicles

725
00:27:28,661 --> 00:27:30,863
on that road. North of 3rd

726
00:27:30,863 --> 00:27:32,632
Street. So one of the things

727
00:27:32,632 --> 00:27:33,232
we're considering is narrowing

728
00:27:33,232 --> 00:27:34,433
that section to make a

729
00:27:34,433 --> 00:27:36,833
protected by connection to

730
00:27:37,236 --> 00:27:40,106
improve the safety. There are

731
00:27:40,106 --> 00:27:40,839
a number of ways to do that.

732
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:44,439
We have some funding set aside

733
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,980
to do so. We have chased

734
00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:48,647
grandson successfully so far

735
00:27:48,647 --> 00:27:49,782
again, wherever struggling

736
00:27:49,782 --> 00:27:50,483
with the grant issue right

737
00:27:50,483 --> 00:27:51,184
now, especially in the safety

738
00:27:51,184 --> 00:27:53,720
round because our streets are

739
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,920
safe. Are safer than a lot of

740
00:27:58,224 --> 00:27:59,993
our comparable agencies around

741
00:27:59,993 --> 00:28:02,993
U.S. Particularly around the

742
00:28:02,996 --> 00:28:03,663
Bay area. But we want to be

743
00:28:03,663 --> 00:28:04,364
better. And so we're moving

744
00:28:04,364 --> 00:28:07,364
that forward. There are ways

745
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:09,168
to do that that are

746
00:28:09,168 --> 00:28:10,570
essentially striping on Lee

747
00:28:10,570 --> 00:28:12,710
could be done essentially by

748
00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:13,773
our crews. Also looking at

749
00:28:13,773 --> 00:28:15,908
some of the intersections

750
00:28:15,908 --> 00:28:17,430
north of there such as at 9th

751
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:18,277
Street for alternative

752
00:28:18,277 --> 00:28:20,277
configurations that might

753
00:28:21,314 --> 00:28:22,281
allow us to better utilize

754
00:28:22,281 --> 00:28:23,160
that infrastructure. I think

755
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,950
what's going to happen is some

756
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:25,518
kind of phased approach to

757
00:28:25,518 --> 00:28:27,787
that and include some

758
00:28:27,787 --> 00:28:28,455
community engagement. And

759
00:28:28,455 --> 00:28:30,590
that's why we're pushing it

760
00:28:30,590 --> 00:28:32,726
forward right now. Has a

761
00:28:32,726 --> 00:28:34,794
project that we're confident

762
00:28:34,794 --> 00:28:35,761
will happen. What form it

763
00:28:35,761 --> 00:28:37,864
takes? I think we'll still

764
00:28:37,864 --> 00:28:38,765
have discussion around it. I'm

765
00:28:38,765 --> 00:28:39,699
happy to talk more about that

766
00:28:39,699 --> 00:28:41,467
and we can talk more about

767
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:42,135
that at the Budget study

768
00:28:42,135 --> 00:28:44,204
session. Also that project

769
00:28:44,204 --> 00:28:44,905
will get some funding from

770
00:28:44,905 --> 00:28:47,730
first proposed to get funding

771
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:49,473
for fiscal year. 25 26. MR.

772
00:28:51,411 --> 00:28:52,145
Donald.

773
00:28:52,145 --> 00:28:52,878
>> Thank you, Mayor. Thank you

774
00:28:52,878 --> 00:28:53,747
for the presentation. One I

775
00:28:53,747 --> 00:28:55,481
want to call out your color

776
00:28:55,481 --> 00:28:57,684
coordinated charts. So thank

777
00:28:57,684 --> 00:28:59,352
you. I appreciate that. It's

778
00:28:59,352 --> 00:29:00,420
not quite the red yellow green

779
00:29:00,420 --> 00:29:01,688
that I desire so much from cip

780
00:29:01,688 --> 00:29:04,880
projects. But you're getting

781
00:29:04,324 --> 00:29:06,526
there. So I appreciate that

782
00:29:06,526 --> 00:29:09,280
very much. Some of question

783
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,964
goes around see that you have

784
00:29:10,964 --> 00:29:12,866
about 5 years. Snapshot on

785
00:29:12,866 --> 00:29:15,168
these projects and then

786
00:29:15,168 --> 00:29:16,403
there's funding that's in my

787
00:29:16,403 --> 00:29:17,400
car fifth-year. And yet you

788
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:17,737
have projects that were

789
00:29:17,737 --> 00:29:19,673
supposed to complete in the

790
00:29:19,673 --> 00:29:22,175
next year that aren't quite

791
00:29:22,175 --> 00:29:25,775
funded. I'm not sure pass that

792
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,120
5 years. Do you have master

793
00:29:29,490 --> 00:29:30,217
plans or where money is being

794
00:29:30,217 --> 00:29:32,217
earmarked in those 5, 10, 15

795
00:29:33,854 --> 00:29:34,387
years out year projects. And

796
00:29:34,387 --> 00:29:35,756
if we've considered

797
00:29:35,756 --> 00:29:37,991
reallocating some of those

798
00:29:37,991 --> 00:29:39,860
moneys for any of the cip

799
00:29:39,860 --> 00:29:42,260
projects, whether it's parts

800
00:29:43,797 --> 00:29:44,531
Ptp w simply it's because the

801
00:29:44,531 --> 00:29:45,198
increase of cost in

802
00:29:45,198 --> 00:29:47,598
construction that I'm very

803
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,436
concerned about. And hearing

804
00:29:49,436 --> 00:29:50,104
that is going to go up about

805
00:29:50,104 --> 00:29:53,104
25% more on some of the

806
00:29:53,107 --> 00:29:55,208
materials in the next year or

807
00:29:55,208 --> 00:29:57,144
so. So I I have concerns

808
00:29:57,144 --> 00:29:58,779
again, even on a five-year

809
00:29:58,779 --> 00:29:59,446
plan where we have these out

810
00:29:59,446 --> 00:30:00,781
your plans for that. We're

811
00:30:00,781 --> 00:30:01,515
never going to quite get to

812
00:30:01,515 --> 00:30:02,149
these projects because we're

813
00:30:02,149 --> 00:30:05,149
not pushing some of them

814
00:30:06,253 --> 00:30:06,954
through right now. Yeah, this

815
00:30:06,954 --> 00:30:09,954
to with the mayor's question

816
00:30:10,657 --> 00:30:11,358
earlier

817
00:30:11,358 --> 00:30:12,920
>> remaining need and timing

818
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,692
the projects. But I think what

819
00:30:17,397 --> 00:30:19,366
we're intending to do is

820
00:30:19,366 --> 00:30:20,534
getting as much done now as we

821
00:30:20,534 --> 00:30:21,801
can within our ability to pay

822
00:30:21,801 --> 00:30:23,471
for it and to deliver it. And

823
00:30:23,471 --> 00:30:26,273
I think part of the situation

824
00:30:26,273 --> 00:30:27,408
that we find ourselves in is

825
00:30:27,408 --> 00:30:28,208
that we've have funded a lot

826
00:30:28,208 --> 00:30:30,177
of projects for a number of

827
00:30:30,177 --> 00:30:30,911
years. And so that ends up

828
00:30:30,911 --> 00:30:31,779
with us working on twice as

829
00:30:31,779 --> 00:30:33,781
many projects that have half

830
00:30:33,781 --> 00:30:36,170
as much funding instead of.

831
00:30:36,170 --> 00:30:38,850
Happens. Many projects with

832
00:30:38,850 --> 00:30:39,887
full funding and that leads to

833
00:30:39,887 --> 00:30:41,188
staff constraints to I can

834
00:30:41,188 --> 00:30:41,889
speak specifically to

835
00:30:41,889 --> 00:30:42,623
transportation. Public works

836
00:30:42,623 --> 00:30:43,291
that, yes, that is an issue. I

837
00:30:43,291 --> 00:30:46,460
know center of the water is

838
00:30:46,460 --> 00:30:47,361
looking at it and city manager

839
00:30:47,361 --> 00:30:48,290
said earlier she's encouraged

840
00:30:48,290 --> 00:30:50,431
us to look at that for the

841
00:30:50,431 --> 00:30:51,650
Parks Department. Also and see

842
00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:53,767
if we can bump up some of

843
00:30:53,767 --> 00:30:54,401
those funds to deliver more

844
00:30:54,401 --> 00:30:56,437
while things are cheaper

845
00:30:56,437 --> 00:31:00,637
before we end up even more to

846
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:03,845
deliver the same. Thank you.

847
00:31:03,845 --> 00:31:04,478
That will public comment, MR.

848
00:31:04,478 --> 00:31:08,780
Do it. Thank you for your

849
00:31:09,150 --> 00:31:11,150
patience.

850
00:31:11,252 --> 00:31:14,852
>> Wanted to say thank you to

851
00:31:15,189 --> 00:31:17,525
the city manager. This truly

852
00:31:17,525 --> 00:31:18,192
one of the most astounding

853
00:31:18,192 --> 00:31:19,227
things I've ever heard in a

854
00:31:19,227 --> 00:31:19,594
Santa Rosa City Council

855
00:31:19,594 --> 00:31:21,594
meeting.

856
00:31:22,397 --> 00:31:23,231
>> I've been coming for 30

857
00:31:23,231 --> 00:31:25,466
years. Can black man and

858
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:26,267
nobody along the way ever did

859
00:31:26,267 --> 00:31:29,867
anything as Magna many is is

860
00:31:30,471 --> 00:31:32,239
that so? On this item

861
00:31:32,239 --> 00:31:34,208
specifically, it's wonderful

862
00:31:34,208 --> 00:31:34,876
to hear that the possibility

863
00:31:34,876 --> 00:31:37,876
of the Roseland Creek Park

864
00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:40,181
having its bikeway the put

865
00:31:40,181 --> 00:31:40,982
together summer. If all goes

866
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:43,350
well and having it ready for

867
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:46,350
the school year. Of other

868
00:31:48,189 --> 00:31:48,823
importance is also that the

869
00:31:48,823 --> 00:31:49,457
Burbank Avenue and Hearne

870
00:31:49,457 --> 00:31:50,992
Avenue traffic signal get

871
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:53,992
moved forward as soon as

872
00:31:54,662 --> 00:31:56,865
possible. It's becoming very

873
00:31:56,865 --> 00:31:57,532
dangerous. There. In the past,

874
00:31:57,532 --> 00:32:00,801
I mentioned the idea of the

875
00:32:00,801 --> 00:32:01,569
speed limit indicator. There's

876
00:32:01,569 --> 00:32:03,969
one over at 909 Humboldt

877
00:32:04,239 --> 00:32:05,173
Street that just sits there on

878
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:05,840
a tree on a pole. Excuse me

879
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,876
behind a tree and you can't

880
00:32:07,876 --> 00:32:10,778
really see it. That could be

881
00:32:10,778 --> 00:32:11,478
helpful to us over on Herndon

882
00:32:11,478 --> 00:32:13,582
Avenue, the community having

883
00:32:13,582 --> 00:32:16,582
fire station. There's a number

884
00:32:17,352 --> 00:32:18,587
of people concerned about how

885
00:32:18,587 --> 00:32:19,554
that library is going to be

886
00:32:19,554 --> 00:32:20,255
financed. Will the city be

887
00:32:20,255 --> 00:32:22,491
putting forward a large

888
00:32:22,491 --> 00:32:23,191
portion of money to get that

889
00:32:23,191 --> 00:32:26,191
library? Build? And then last

890
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,428
but not least doing

891
00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:32,400
overcrossing on highway 101.

892
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,201
There MAY be financial

893
00:32:33,201 --> 00:32:35,203
problems in the future fiscal

894
00:32:35,203 --> 00:32:36,271
constraints that we don't see

895
00:32:36,271 --> 00:32:38,807
because our economy MAY be

896
00:32:38,807 --> 00:32:41,807
going into recession. And the

897
00:32:42,578 --> 00:32:43,278
difficulties that lie ahead of

898
00:32:43,278 --> 00:32:45,614
us MAY require us to look at

899
00:32:45,614 --> 00:32:47,482
where we can save money. A

900
00:32:47,482 --> 00:32:48,149
number of people have pointed

901
00:32:48,149 --> 00:32:50,586
out you can save money, but

902
00:32:50,586 --> 00:32:52,187
different design of the bridge

903
00:32:52,187 --> 00:32:55,187
that would be used over 101.

904
00:32:56,157 --> 00:32:56,858
There are different types.

905
00:32:56,858 --> 00:32:57,559
There are millions of dollars

906
00:32:57,559 --> 00:32:58,293
less expensive than that one

907
00:32:58,293 --> 00:33:01,293
that's being chosen now, which

908
00:33:02,970 --> 00:33:02,698
is more for and it's that exit

909
00:33:02,698 --> 00:33:05,980
shun. Then a functional

910
00:33:06,868 --> 00:33:07,669
approach. We need to save

911
00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:09,738
money. Obviously, it's great

912
00:33:09,738 --> 00:33:11,807
to see that you'll be spending

913
00:33:11,807 --> 00:33:13,976
money in the southwest area.

914
00:33:13,976 --> 00:33:15,711
Santa Rosa's Roseland District

915
00:33:15,711 --> 00:33:16,444
and so wonderful thing all the

916
00:33:16,444 --> 00:33:20,150
way around. And once again, I

917
00:33:20,150 --> 00:33:22,830
just have to say thank you,

918
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:22,884
city manager for doing this

919
00:33:22,884 --> 00:33:25,988
Friess for not just one year.

920
00:33:25,988 --> 00:33:27,689
Sounded like 2 full years.

921
00:33:27,689 --> 00:33:28,724
That's a stunning thing to

922
00:33:28,724 --> 00:33:30,259
have happened. Never before in

923
00:33:30,259 --> 00:33:33,259
the history of Santa Rosa

924
00:33:33,529 --> 00:33:35,464
City, administrative policies

925
00:33:35,464 --> 00:33:37,466
as administrator taking that

926
00:33:37,466 --> 00:33:38,734
type of lead. And I really

927
00:33:38,734 --> 00:33:40,870
think that's a wonderful

928
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:43,506
thing. I don't know how you

929
00:33:43,506 --> 00:33:44,473
folks feel about it. But and

930
00:33:44,473 --> 00:33:45,474
she had to get one of those

931
00:33:45,474 --> 00:33:47,874
city proclamations. You give

932
00:33:48,144 --> 00:33:50,846
out. Thank you so much. Thank

933
00:33:50,846 --> 00:33:51,547
you to Wayne. When any of the

934
00:33:51,547 --> 00:33:55,147
members of the public like to

935
00:33:55,651 --> 00:33:56,252
speak.

936
00:33:56,252 --> 00:33:56,819
>> All Bring it back to

937
00:33:56,819 --> 00:33:59,219
council for any final

938
00:34:04,293 --> 00:34:05,461
comments. Vice Mayor.

939
00:34:05,461 --> 00:34:07,863
>> Are there any eyes looking

940
00:34:07,863 --> 00:34:08,563
at South Street which connects

941
00:34:08,563 --> 00:34:11,563
Dunn Avenue West Avenue when

942
00:34:12,335 --> 00:34:12,735
chance. And with our

943
00:34:12,735 --> 00:34:14,735
sidewalks.

944
00:34:16,372 --> 00:34:17,406
>> Yeah. So it's part of our

945
00:34:17,406 --> 00:34:19,406
that transportation that's

946
00:34:19,542 --> 00:34:20,476
been identified for sidewalks

947
00:34:20,476 --> 00:34:22,644
as being prioritized amongst a

948
00:34:22,644 --> 00:34:25,615
number of needs. You'll see

949
00:34:25,615 --> 00:34:26,816
that plan finalized and

950
00:34:26,816 --> 00:34:27,416
believe in JUNE. Have one of

951
00:34:27,416 --> 00:34:28,170
your JUNE meetings all

952
00:34:28,170 --> 00:34:28,717
approved carry-on have

953
00:34:28,717 --> 00:34:31,117

resources to address them. But

959
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:43,732

want to clarify. Think. Other

1142
00:40:47,833 --> 00:40:48,501
questions for counsel. But

1143
00:40:48,501 --> 00:40:52,101
we'll put it up for public

1144
00:40:54,307 --> 00:40:55,407
comment. MR. Do it.

1145
00:40:55,407 --> 00:40:58,110
>> Yes, thank you. My name

1146
00:40:58,110 --> 00:40:58,711
doing to it on from Rosen. And

1147
00:40:58,711 --> 00:41:00,780
I'm glad to hear of the

1148
00:41:00,780 --> 00:41:02,314
activities that are occurring,

1149
00:41:02,314 --> 00:41:02,982
especially the APRIL 7th

1150
00:41:02,982 --> 00:41:05,982
virtual zoom with the mayor

1151
00:41:06,886 --> 00:41:07,854
and Vice mayor.

1152
00:41:07,854 --> 00:41:08,754
>> There's a concern, though,

1153
00:41:08,754 --> 00:41:12,291
from people over a rose and a

1154
00:41:12,291 --> 00:41:13,226
lot we don't use the Internet.

1155
00:41:13,226 --> 00:41:16,226
>> People are older and they

1156
00:41:16,629 --> 00:41:17,230
still read paper and actually

1157
00:41:17,230 --> 00:41:17,897
would hope that perhaps

1158
00:41:17,897 --> 00:41:20,297
there's an opportunity they

1159
00:41:20,966 --> 00:41:21,634
could be there in person.

1160
00:41:21,634 --> 00:41:23,236
Could somehow come to where

1161
00:41:23,236 --> 00:41:26,236
you folks are being online.

1162
00:41:27,730 --> 00:41:27,806
Participate that way. It's

1163
00:41:27,806 --> 00:41:30,376
really great to hear about the

1164
00:41:30,376 --> 00:41:30,977
streets to creep effort that's

1165
00:41:30,977 --> 00:41:33,377
occurring for the rose

1166
00:41:35,648 --> 00:41:36,282
cleanup. I was uncertain of

1167
00:41:36,282 --> 00:41:39,282
the actual timing and the

1168
00:41:42,422 --> 00:41:45,422
meeting places. On 19th APRIL,

1169
00:41:45,458 --> 00:41:46,759
which is this Saturday 10 in

1170
00:41:46,759 --> 00:41:47,594
the morning. Many roads and

1171
00:41:47,594 --> 00:41:48,494
residents are gathering of

1172
00:41:48,494 --> 00:41:52,940
Rosen Creek Park for what they

1173
00:41:53,699 --> 00:41:55,735
call their birthing effort.

1174
00:41:55,735 --> 00:41:56,336
Hoping there's a way that we

1175
00:41:56,336 --> 00:41:59,336
can talk more with the

1176
00:41:59,572 --> 00:42:01,972
streets. Decrease people. Much

1177
00:42:02,709 --> 00:42:03,410
from them that a information I

1178
00:42:03,410 --> 00:42:07,100
was just giving now from what

1179
00:42:08,140 --> 00:42:10,917
we've heard here. We're going

1180
00:42:10,917 --> 00:42:12,840
to meet Lawless parking lot on

1181
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,286
Sebastopol Road at what Dayton

1182
00:42:13,286 --> 00:42:16,886
time. I'd like to find out.

1183
00:42:17,690 --> 00:42:18,858
And then. Rosen Creek was

1184
00:42:18,858 --> 00:42:21,761
mentioned. So where they going

1185
00:42:21,761 --> 00:42:24,797
on the creek. It runs from

1186
00:42:24,797 --> 00:42:25,799
Sebastopol Road out, too. All

1187
00:42:25,799 --> 00:42:29,999
the way of a Santa Rosa. So

1188
00:42:30,236 --> 00:42:31,137
just to get clarifications,

1189
00:42:31,137 --> 00:42:32,205
please. Thank you once again

1190
00:42:32,205 --> 00:42:35,805
for all the work that they're

1191
00:42:36,943 --> 00:42:37,611
and are taking. Thank you, MR.

1192
00:42:37,611 --> 00:42:41,147
Do any other members of the

1193
00:42:41,147 --> 00:42:42,115
public who wish to speak.

1194
00:42:42,115 --> 00:42:43,116
>> And we'll bring it back to

1195
00:42:43,116 --> 00:42:45,118
council. And I'll begin with

1196
00:42:45,118 --> 00:42:47,200
just a quick point of

1197
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,121
information. The vice mayor 9

1198
00:42:48,121 --> 00:42:50,523
did hold a town hall, which it

1199
00:42:50,523 --> 00:42:52,392
was the first in a series on

1200
00:42:52,392 --> 00:42:53,427
JANUARY. 27th. This is the

1201
00:42:53,427 --> 00:42:54,828
second iteration of the

1202
00:42:54,828 --> 00:42:56,596
series. We're expecting to

1203
00:42:56,596 --> 00:42:57,631
hold a couple of others. We

1204
00:42:57,631 --> 00:42:59,599
would have a mix of both

1205
00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:00,400
in-person and virtual just

1206
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,567
because the people find it

1207
00:43:01,567 --> 00:43:02,269
easier to access using using

1208
00:43:02,269 --> 00:43:04,669
different methods. So always

1209
00:43:05,772 --> 00:43:06,506
be doing next. We do hope that

1210
00:43:06,506 --> 00:43:07,740
we get a good turnout in APRIL

1211
00:43:07,740 --> 00:43:09,476
7th. It was a robust

1212
00:43:09,476 --> 00:43:10,210
conversation the first time

1213
00:43:10,210 --> 00:43:13,210
around looking council for any

1214
00:43:16,517 --> 00:43:17,484
final comments. All right.

1215
00:43:17,484 --> 00:43:19,520
Well, just note that our

1216
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:20,587
community engagement team has

1217
00:43:20,587 --> 00:43:22,756
a full agenda every time they

1218
00:43:22,756 --> 00:43:23,557
come to counsel, you have a

1219
00:43:23,557 --> 00:43:24,191
very busy crew and it gets

1220
00:43:24,191 --> 00:43:24,924
noticed by the community.

1221
00:43:24,924 --> 00:43:29,124
Thank you so much for all your

1222
00:43:31,632 --> 00:43:32,266
work. Move on to item 9. Our

1223
00:43:32,266 --> 00:43:32,966

00:43:56,123 --> 00:43:56,757
council members. Are there any

1236
00:43:56,757 --> 00:43:57,357

1241
00:44:13,741 --> 00:44:15,643
>> Thank you. Moving on to

1242
00:44:15,643 --> 00:44:16,310
item 11 mayors and

Thank you, mayor. Just a

1247

really quick

1248
00:44:32,260 --> 00:44:32,793
>> report. Attended the West

1249
00:44:32,793 --> 00:44:34,793
and as neighborhood

1250
00:44:34,962 --> 00:44:37,362
Association meeting last week.

1251
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:40,434
And I just wanted thank staff

1252
00:44:40,434 --> 00:44:41,235
for coming. I did not ask them

1253
00:44:41,235 --> 00:44:45,706
to come. I think it was it at

1254
00:44:45,706 --> 00:44:47,375
the request of the association

1255
00:44:47,375 --> 00:44:50,945
and it was a parking staff as

1256
00:44:50,945 --> 00:44:53,714
well Rec and park. And it

1257
00:44:53,714 --> 00:44:55,183
wonderful for them to come

1258
00:44:55,183 --> 00:44:58,183
because many neighbors in the

1259
00:44:58,653 --> 00:44:59,520
West and are really concerned

1260
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,687
about parking right now with

1261
00:45:00,687 --> 00:45:03,891
all the building that has been

1262
00:45:03,891 --> 00:45:06,891
done, which excellent. But now

1263
00:45:07,695 --> 00:45:09,597
that many of the residents

1264
00:45:09,597 --> 00:45:10,632
don't have place to park. So

1265
00:45:10,632 --> 00:45:11,299
they were trying to answer

1266
00:45:11,299 --> 00:45:12,000
their questions and address

1267
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,202
some of the issues that they

1268
00:45:14,202 --> 00:45:14,936
were raising. And then some of

1269
00:45:14,936 --> 00:45:18,536
the changes with rec and park,

1270
00:45:18,740 --> 00:45:21,140
especially with. What you

1271
00:45:21,342 --> 00:45:24,342
going forward being able to,

1272
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:26,647
for example, ran out the demeo

1273
00:45:26,647 --> 00:45:29,647
around barn a detour excuse

1274
00:45:30,785 --> 00:45:31,452
me. Round barn. Things of that

1275
00:45:31,452 --> 00:45:32,854
nature. So Israeli and also

1276
00:45:32,854 --> 00:45:34,589
center as a police were also

1277
00:45:34,589 --> 00:45:35,223
there. So it's really good

1278
00:45:35,223 --> 00:45:35,924
meeting. I just wanted to

1279
00:45:35,924 --> 00:45:37,659
thank staff again for coming

1280
00:45:37,659 --> 00:45:38,426
out because I think the

1281
00:45:38,426 --> 00:45:40,426

1282
00:45:41,950 --> 00:45:43,495

00:46:14,963 --> 00:46:15,597
my other council members.

1301
00:46:15,597 --> 00:46:19,197
>> And then I just have a

Santa Rosa who provides me

1310
00:46:32,314 --> 00:46:34,216
with excellent notes. I would

1311
00:46:34,216 --> 00:46:34,917
not be nearly as good at this

1312
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:37,917

00:47:04,913 --> 00:47:05,547
eu waste was collected in

1326
00:47:05,547 --> 00:47:08,547
Santa Rosa through the eu

1327
00:47:09,317 --> 00:47:10,919
waste collection events. Over

1328
00:47:10,919 --> 00:47:11,620
a million pounds of home

1329
00:47:11,620 --> 00:47:14,200
hazardous waste was collected

1330
00:47:14,924 --> 00:47:15,724
in Sonoma County. And Santa

1331
00:47:15,724 --> 00:47:18,124
Rosa had 13 different events

1332
00:47:18,661 --> 00:47:20,661
with over 1000 participants.

1333
00:47:21,197 --> 00:47:21,797
We had 455 mattresses

1334
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:23,797
collected for recycling

1335
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,701
throughout Sonoma County and

1336
00:47:28,270 --> 00:47:30,206
stated that they'd be happy to

1337
00:47:30,206 --> 00:47:30,906
give presentations regarding

1338
00:47:30,906 --> 00:47:33,306
there's incentive programs to

1339
00:47:33,342 --> 00:47:34,377
groups such as City Council

1340
00:47:34,377 --> 00:47:35,544
are nonprofits or other

1341
00:47:35,544 --> 00:47:37,146
interested parties. And I'm

1342
00:47:37,146 --> 00:47:37,947
not sure if that includes

1343
00:47:37,947 --> 00:47:39,748
going to schools to do

1344
00:47:39,748 --> 00:47:42,748
presentations as well. But I

1345
00:47:43,786 --> 00:47:44,486
can talk to them about that.

1346
00:47:44,486 --> 00:47:45,221
And so if there are any other

1347
00:47:45,221 --> 00:47:46,989
questions, please let me know.

1348
00:47:46,989 --> 00:47:48,224
I will get the answers from

1349
00:47:48,224 --> 00:47:50,793
Sean, but that concludes my

1350
00:47:50,793 --> 00:47:53,793
report for this month. Thank

1351
00:47:55,464 --> 00:47:57,333
you, MR. Creepy. Thank you,

1352
00:47:57,333 --> 00:48:00,933
They have to report for this

1353
00:48:01,404 --> 00:48:04,173
month took a vacation with my

1354
00:48:04,173 --> 00:48:06,442
family Mexico to the and in

1355
00:48:06,442 --> 00:48:07,176
true elected fashion cannot

1356
00:48:07,176 --> 00:48:07,810
escape government. As a matter

1357
00:48:07,810 --> 00:48:08,477
of fact, the person that

1358
00:48:08,477 --> 00:48:09,445
picking up from the airport

1359
00:48:09,445 --> 00:48:10,113
was the economic development

1360
00:48:10,113 --> 00:48:12,748
director of the city of de

1361
00:48:12,748 --> 00:48:13,483
Lisi, U.S. And Mexico.

1362
00:48:13,483 --> 00:48:17,830
>> And he proceeded to give us

1363
00:48:18,855 --> 00:48:21,290
a tour of the state Congress

1364
00:48:21,290 --> 00:48:24,460
and city hall of the city of

1365
00:48:24,460 --> 00:48:27,460
Chihuahua. And then we spent

1366
00:48:27,597 --> 00:48:29,131
time in see us with the mayor

1367
00:48:29,131 --> 00:48:29,799
was a personal friend of mine

1368
00:48:29,799 --> 00:48:31,301
and discuss everything from

1369
00:48:31,301 --> 00:48:32,167
water to agriculture. A lot of

1370
00:48:32,167 --> 00:48:35,167
cattle, pecans and now wind

1371
00:48:35,839 --> 00:48:36,839
grapes in that area and

1372
00:48:36,839 --> 00:48:37,473
further discuss any

1373
00:48:37,473 --> 00:48:39,873
partnerships we MAY have,

1374
00:48:41,344 --> 00:48:45,544
which sort of a driven me to

1375
00:48:47,584 --> 00:48:48,284
look to undertake more. Direct

1376
00:48:48,284 --> 00:48:49,180
approach to our sister cities

1377
00:48:49,180 --> 00:48:51,254
initiatives many formalizing a

1378
00:48:51,254 --> 00:48:51,988
little bit more going forward

1379
00:48:51,988 --> 00:48:52,688
and seeing what we can do,

1380
00:48:52,688 --> 00:48:53,355
whether that be student

1381
00:48:53,355 --> 00:48:55,755
exchanges or anything else

1382
00:48:58,695 --> 00:49:02,295
like that. Thank you as fun.

1383
00:49:02,932 --> 00:49:05,902
>> I love that report. That's

1384
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:06,936
great. I love when you go to

1385
00:49:06,936 --> 00:49:07,570
another city you find the city

1386
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:09,238
hall and you look at what

1387
00:49:09,238 --> 00:49:12,750
makes each place, take it so

1388
00:49:12,750 --> 00:49:15,675
fun. Love the idea of stronger

1389
00:49:15,979 --> 00:49:16,713
sister cities, but my life has

1390
00:49:16,713 --> 00:49:17,713
not been as exciting as MISTER

1391
00:49:17,713 --> 00:49:19,983
Prep season last couple of

1392
00:49:19,983 --> 00:49:21,818
weeks. I did want to touch a

1393
00:49:21,818 --> 00:49:22,419
little bit on what

1394
00:49:22,419 --> 00:49:23,753
Councilmember MacDonald

1395
00:49:23,753 --> 00:49:24,420
mentioned about the marital

1396
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:25,550
the service awards. We have

1397
00:49:25,550 --> 00:49:28,550
merit a worthy of service

1398
00:49:28,191 --> 00:49:30,193
awards. And you know it for

1399
00:49:30,193 --> 00:49:30,927
from my perspective, they're

1400
00:49:30,927 --> 00:49:33,529
both really important that the

1401
00:49:33,529 --> 00:49:35,565
thing that really stuck out to

1402
00:49:35,565 --> 00:49:37,267
me about the service awards,

1403
00:49:37,267 --> 00:49:38,100
which, you know, we get put

1404
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,569
different employees on the hot

1405
00:49:40,569 --> 00:49:42,439
seat for who've served for 20

1406
00:49:42,439 --> 00:49:43,407
years. They get a speech by

1407
00:49:43,407 --> 00:49:44,107
their director. Some of you

1408
00:49:44,107 --> 00:49:47,707
are in this room looking down

1409
00:49:48,678 --> 00:49:49,646
at your laptops. The point is

1410
00:49:49,646 --> 00:49:51,281
the head.

1411
00:49:51,281 --> 00:49:52,140
>> That our employees are the

1412
00:49:52,140 --> 00:49:54,685
we people, the people who show

1413
00:49:54,685 --> 00:49:55,619
up and take care of this city

1414
00:49:55,619 --> 00:49:58,388
and take of our community with

1415
00:49:58,388 --> 00:49:59,456
a true passion. That is not

1416
00:49:59,456 --> 00:50:02,125
really in line with being

1417
00:50:02,125 --> 00:50:02,793
pulled out and had having the

1418
00:50:02,793 --> 00:50:03,527
spotlight shown up on them.

1419
00:50:03,527 --> 00:50:04,194
They're people who do the work

1420
00:50:04,194 --> 00:50:05,796
because that's where their

1421
00:50:05,796 --> 00:50:07,697
hearts are. And that just

1422
00:50:07,697 --> 00:50:08,865
shown through show through. So

1423
00:50:08,865 --> 00:50:11,100
clearly. And it was really

1424
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:12,669
touching to me to see not just

1425
00:50:12,669 --> 00:50:13,270
how dedicated you all are, but

1426
00:50:13,270 --> 00:50:16,270
also how much year your

1427
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,875
co-workers and your your

1428
00:50:17,875 --> 00:50:19,709
directors notice benefit from

1429
00:50:19,709 --> 00:50:20,377
that and how that just flows

1430
00:50:20,377 --> 00:50:21,111
out of the city. And I was

1431
00:50:21,111 --> 00:50:24,711
just really touched by it. And

1432
00:50:25,282 --> 00:50:27,985
I wanted to know that. I

1433
00:50:27,985 --> 00:50:30,985
wasn't here last week or 2

1434
00:50:30,988 --> 00:50:32,880
weeks ago. It because I was in

1435
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:32,856
Sacramento lobbying for mtc. I

1436
00:50:32,856 --> 00:50:36,456
know we MAY feel a little

1437
00:50:36,860 --> 00:50:37,595
isolated from the impending

1438
00:50:37,595 --> 00:50:40,595
crash or fiscal cliff rather.

1439
00:50:41,498 --> 00:50:42,132
That is coming for our Bay

1440
00:50:42,132 --> 00:50:42,699
Area. Transit system. But

1441
00:50:42,699 --> 00:50:44,468
we're really all that

1442
00:50:44,468 --> 00:50:46,537
isolated. And so we are

1443
00:50:46,537 --> 00:50:47,770
working on trying to shore up

1444
00:50:47,770 --> 00:50:49,572
support for sb 63, which will

1445
00:50:49,572 --> 00:50:50,741
not be on our ballot here. But

1446
00:50:50,741 --> 00:50:51,575
I think is color attention to

1447
00:50:51,575 --> 00:50:53,409
how interconnected we are in

1448
00:50:53,409 --> 00:50:54,644
that apart. And Caltrans do

1449
00:50:54,644 --> 00:50:55,346
fail. We will feel the

1450
00:50:55,346 --> 00:50:57,346
economic reverberations here

1451
00:50:57,447 --> 00:51:00,818
in the North Bay and that if

1452
00:51:00,818 --> 00:51:01,519
you know, people who live in

1453
00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:04,388
the southern counties in the

1454
00:51:04,388 --> 00:51:07,324
Southern 5 counties in the Bay

1455
00:51:07,324 --> 00:51:09,360
area that to show your support

1456
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,327
for keeping our systems going

1457
00:51:11,327 --> 00:51:12,290
in and understanding how being

1458
00:51:12,290 --> 00:51:13,864
regional it really matters to

1459
00:51:13,864 --> 00:51:16,864
our local economy here. Always

1460
00:51:16,934 --> 00:51:19,870
excited to talk about that

1461
00:51:19,870 --> 00:51:20,971
offline. And then another mtc

1462
00:51:20,971 --> 00:51:21,672
moment. I'm really pleased to

1463
00:51:21,672 --> 00:51:22,306
announce that I was named the

1464
00:51:22,306 --> 00:51:25,306
chair of the program and

1465
00:51:25,743 --> 00:51:27,743
Allocations Committee, which

1466
00:51:28,211 --> 00:51:29,513
has a lot influence over

1467
00:51:29,513 --> 00:51:30,447
programming allocations. So

1468
00:51:30,447 --> 00:51:32,316
look forward to working with

1469
00:51:32,316 --> 00:51:32,950
you on getting your projects

1470
00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:33,650
through mtc and being of

1471
00:51:33,650 --> 00:51:35,286
service to in that way. Thank

1472
00:51:35,286 --> 00:51:37,286
you very much.

1473
00:51:39,957 --> 00:51:40,658
>> Excellent Vice Mayor. Thank

1474
00:51:40,658 --> 00:51:42,660
you. Mayor. I actually don't

1475
00:51:42,660 --> 00:51:43,327
might might have down so you

1476
00:51:43,327 --> 00:51:44,929
have to excuse if I do not

1477
00:51:44,929 --> 00:51:46,364
know the dates that these

1478
00:51:46,364 --> 00:51:49,670
events happened or about to

1479
00:51:49,670 --> 00:51:51,202
happen. But we did receive the

1480
00:51:51,202 --> 00:51:54,202
mayor, vice mayor and council

1481
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:55,673
members from sequel might be

1482
00:51:55,673 --> 00:51:58,709
truck on Mexico who came to

1483
00:51:58,709 --> 00:52:00,144
visit us with the intent of

1484
00:52:00,144 --> 00:52:01,745
sharing culture ideas and

1485
00:52:01,745 --> 00:52:02,714
wanting to become our sister

1486
00:52:02,714 --> 00:52:03,982
city. And I have to tell you,

1487
00:52:03,982 --> 00:52:06,982
I was pleasantly surprised at

1488
00:52:07,510 --> 00:52:08,486
the level of both the speaking

1489
00:52:08,486 --> 00:52:10,540
and understanding level of our

1490
00:52:10,540 --> 00:52:10,955
mayor. I was very impressed,

1491
00:52:10,955 --> 00:52:14,555
says I thought was going to

1492
00:52:14,926 --> 00:52:16,693
have to interpret yet. He was

1493
00:52:16,693 --> 00:52:17,362
holding his own. So

1494
00:52:17,362 --> 00:52:19,362
congratulations are absent.

1495
00:52:19,697 --> 00:52:20,665
Know for that. But

1496
00:52:20,665 --> 00:52:23,665
nonetheless, it was a great

1497
00:52:23,802 --> 00:52:24,636
exchange of of of ideas and

1498
00:52:24,636 --> 00:52:25,303
wants and shared vision of

1499
00:52:25,303 --> 00:52:29,274
what we want to see in our

1500
00:52:29,274 --> 00:52:32,143
city, which is first safety.

1501
00:52:32,143 --> 00:52:33,144
And secondly, economic growth

1502
00:52:33,144 --> 00:52:33,811
and we're seeing how we can

1503
00:52:33,811 --> 00:52:36,211
collaborate with each other

1504
00:52:37,648 --> 00:52:38,383
and doing so. And secondly, I

1505
00:52:38,383 --> 00:52:40,285
visited child's museum here in

1506
00:52:40,285 --> 00:52:42,721
Saint Rose off of West Elaine.

1507
00:52:42,721 --> 00:52:43,421
And I had a lot of fun,

1508
00:52:43,421 --> 00:52:45,256
whether it's a big building

1509
00:52:45,256 --> 00:52:46,358

1767
01:01:47,603 --> 01:01:48,237
>> Thank you. Looking to

1768
01:01:48,237 --> 01:01:51,237
council, see if there any

1769
01:01:52,107 --> 01:01:52,775
questions. Seeing none. Let's

1770
01:01:52,775 --> 01:01:55,775
open up the public comment,

1771
01:02:01,216 --> 01:02:01,784
MR. Do it.

1772
01:02:01,784 --> 01:02:03,784
>> On 13.1, it's very

1773
01:02:04,287 --> 01:02:04,987
important to abide by what was

1774
01:02:04,987 --> 01:02:07,987
once called the Civil Rights

1775
01:02:09,492 --> 01:02:11,627
Act. The title 6 program is

1776
01:02:11,627 --> 01:02:12,328
very important as a person

1777
01:02:12,328 --> 01:02:13,960
that rides the bus off. And I

1778
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,698
would hope that you could do

1779
01:02:15,698 --> 01:02:16,366
something with today's agenda

1780
01:02:16,366 --> 01:02:19,966
were you will help with the

1781
01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:22,805
transit mall. The site for the

1782
01:02:22,805 --> 01:02:24,207
people who write out to

1783
01:02:24,207 --> 01:02:26,843
Roseland on buses to to be and

1784
01:02:26,843 --> 01:02:28,344
12 are not protected from the

1785
01:02:28,344 --> 01:02:30,313
rain when they did the repairs

1786
01:02:30,313 --> 01:02:32,140
over at the transit mall, they

1787
01:02:32,140 --> 01:02:33,583
didn't put any type of an

1788
01:02:33,583 --> 01:02:36,583
awning to protect the seats

1789
01:02:37,887 --> 01:02:39,956
from that area from the rain.

1790
01:02:39,956 --> 01:02:42,356
So today you're getting

1791
01:02:44,293 --> 01:02:44,961
$39,000 from San Francisco and

1792
01:02:44,961 --> 01:02:47,496
it's not a pro. Excuse me,

1793
01:02:47,496 --> 01:02:48,164
it's not okay to yet. Says

1794
01:02:48,164 --> 01:02:49,966
here that the funds will go

1795
01:02:49,966 --> 01:02:52,534
into a project. Key to be

1796
01:02:52,534 --> 01:02:53,637
established by the chief

1797
01:02:53,637 --> 01:02:56,370
financial officer budget. Put

1798
01:02:57,173 --> 01:02:59,573
that $39,000 putting up rain

1799
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:01,711
on Protection for the bus

1800
01:03:01,711 --> 01:03:02,979
riders for Roseland that go

1801
01:03:02,979 --> 01:03:04,814
out there and now have to

1802
01:03:04,814 --> 01:03:06,116
stand in the rain and wait for

1803
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:06,783
the bus. Where is everyone

1804
01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:09,783
else that the transit mall

1805
01:03:10,387 --> 01:03:13,387
doesn't have to? Then The

1806
01:03:14,257 --> 01:03:15,859
matter of the homeless. The

1807
01:03:15,859 --> 01:03:16,593
proclamation being extended

1808
01:03:16,593 --> 01:03:19,895
its very nice that we're doing

1809
01:03:19,895 --> 01:03:20,530
that. There's still homeless

1810
01:03:20,530 --> 01:03:22,930
people sleeping under the

1811
01:03:24,434 --> 01:03:25,350
overpasses. Invested all kinds

1812
01:03:25,350 --> 01:03:27,837
of money to try to help

1813
01:03:27,837 --> 01:03:28,505
Catholic charities. Were there

1814
01:03:28,505 --> 01:03:29,172
Cara Times project and got

1815
01:03:29,172 --> 01:03:32,772
lots of things going on and

1816
01:03:32,943 --> 01:03:35,780
yet. Yesterday during the

1817
01:03:35,780 --> 01:03:36,380
ring, there are people out

1818
01:03:36,380 --> 01:03:37,480
there under the overpass on

1819
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,150
9th Street and 6th Street

1820
01:03:39,150 --> 01:03:41,415
during the night sleeping

1821
01:03:43,787 --> 01:03:44,655
outside. We're trying to sleep

1822
01:03:44,655 --> 01:03:45,389
perhaps very difficult

1823
01:03:45,389 --> 01:03:46,656
situation. And I'm hoping that

1824
01:03:46,656 --> 01:03:47,857
we can find a way to resolve

1825
01:03:47,857 --> 01:03:48,992
it. So that everyone,

1826
01:03:48,992 --> 01:03:50,259
especially those using

1827
01:03:50,259 --> 01:03:52,659
wheelchairs, those who are

1828
01:03:52,695 --> 01:03:54,965
disabled can get in out of the

1829
01:03:54,965 --> 01:03:57,234
weather. We MAY have a longer

1830
01:03:57,234 --> 01:03:57,868
wet spring and then last but

1831
01:03:57,868 --> 01:04:00,270
not least it's great that

1832
01:04:00,270 --> 01:04:00,937
you're doing these fire hazard

1833
01:04:00,937 --> 01:04:02,372
severity zones. It's really

1834
01:04:02,372 --> 01:04:05,420
important that we have them.

1835
01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:05,642
People mentioned years ago

1836
01:04:05,642 --> 01:04:08,420
when the Fountain Grove

1837
01:04:08,678 --> 01:04:09,879
overpass skews me when the

1838
01:04:09,879 --> 01:04:11,114
founder of bypass is being put

1839
01:04:11,114 --> 01:04:13,514
together, that that was

1840
01:04:14,510 --> 01:04:15,886
through high fire area. We're

1841
01:04:15,886 --> 01:04:18,886
the only fired in 1964. It's

1842
01:04:19,230 --> 01:04:20,290
really important that we keep

1843
01:04:20,290 --> 01:04:23,290
the history of where fires

1844
01:04:23,627 --> 01:04:24,561
have been. And we make a point

1845
01:04:24,561 --> 01:04:27,431
of knowing where there might

1846
01:04:27,431 --> 01:04:28,650
be even further hazards and

1847
01:04:28,650 --> 01:04:31,650
example is over the Rosen

1848
01:04:31,502 --> 01:04:34,438
Creek Park. It backs up to

1849
01:04:34,438 --> 01:04:37,541
people's yards. It has a lot

1850
01:04:37,541 --> 01:04:38,242
of underbrush as campers,

1851
01:04:38,242 --> 01:04:41,242
transit vagrants that come in

1852
01:04:41,545 --> 01:04:42,279
there and start fires and

1853
01:04:42,279 --> 01:04:43,470
basically had to call the fire

1854
01:04:43,470 --> 01:04:45,182
department numerous times for

1855
01:04:45,182 --> 01:04:47,918
them to come in and take care

1856
01:04:47,918 --> 01:04:48,686
of fires. There. That is some

1857
01:04:48,686 --> 01:04:51,488
sort of his own that should be

1858
01:04:51,488 --> 01:04:53,491
looked at. Also, it's not in

1859
01:04:53,491 --> 01:04:54,625
your current situation, but

1860
01:04:54,625 --> 01:04:57,270
these are where those fires

1861
01:04:57,270 --> 01:04:58,963
can spread to those homes and

1862
01:04:58,963 --> 01:05:00,865
then the city would be

1863
01:05:00,865 --> 01:05:02,666
responsible through vicarious

1864
01:05:02,666 --> 01:05:03,367
liability. You know, this

1865
01:05:03,367 --> 01:05:04,902
dangerous area and the people

1866
01:05:04,902 --> 01:05:05,603
catch on fire, they're going

1867
01:05:05,603 --> 01:05:09,803
to come back and look at you.

1868
01:05:10,942 --> 01:05:11,642
Thank you.

1869
01:05:11,642 --> 01:05:12,276
>> Thank you. To Wayne. Would

1870
01:05:12,276 --> 01:05:14,746
any other members of the

1871
01:05:14,746 --> 01:05:15,446
public like to speak? Seeing

1872
01:05:15,446 --> 01:05:19,460
none bringing it back to Vice

1873
01:05:19,517 --> 01:05:21,520
Mayor Alvarez for Motion. I

1874
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,387
like to move items through 2.1

1875
01:05:23,387 --> 01:05:26,387
through 13.8 and wait for the

1876
01:05:28,359 --> 01:05:28,960

01:06:20,311 --> 01:06:22,347
else here to Roseland Earth

1904
01:06:22,347 --> 01:06:23,715
Day efforts which are on

1905
01:06:23,715 --> 01:06:25,417
Saturday. The 19th of APRIL at

1906
01:06:25,417 --> 01:06:28,417
10 in the morning at the

1907
01:06:29,654 --> 01:06:30,355
Roseland Creek. We call it the

1908
01:06:30,355 --> 01:06:33,355
neighbor. Would the city has

1909
01:06:33,692 --> 01:06:34,392
an official name of a park?

1910
01:06:34,392 --> 01:06:35,493
The folks out there have been

1911
01:06:35,493 --> 01:06:37,996
doing this for decades and

1912
01:06:37,996 --> 01:06:41,596
we're so glad that for the

1913
01:06:41,867 --> 01:06:42,634
last 2 years we've had the

1914
01:06:42,634 --> 01:06:43,300
city's mayor and our

1915
01:06:43,300 --> 01:06:45,300
Councilmember Eddie Alvarez

1916
01:06:46,571 --> 01:06:48,440
came out there. We're hoping

1917
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:49,140
also last year, MR. Stabbing

1918
01:06:49,140 --> 01:06:52,210
Ms McDonald were there to to

1919
01:06:52,210 --> 01:06:53,678
visit for short time. Hoping

1920
01:06:53,678 --> 01:06:54,379
that you folks will come on

1921
01:06:54,379 --> 01:06:55,447
out there and see what we're

1922
01:06:55,447 --> 01:06:57,449
up to again, there's good

1923
01:06:57,449 --> 01:06:58,650
things that are happening.

1924
01:06:58,650 --> 01:07:01,650
It's one of these situations

1925
01:07:03,210 --> 01:07:03,722
where we have to never say die

1926
01:07:03,722 --> 01:07:05,390
and just keep trying. We know

1927
01:07:05,390 --> 01:07:06,458
it's a difficult time

1928
01:07:06,458 --> 01:07:07,159
financially. We know you might

1929
01:07:07,159 --> 01:07:09,327
not be able to do as much as

1930
01:07:09,327 --> 01:07:11,960
we would like. But the people

1931
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:12,897
in the community know when

1932
01:07:12,897 --> 01:07:15,297
you're paying attention and

1933
01:07:15,667 --> 01:07:16,501
things will get better. We're

1934
01:07:16,501 --> 01:07:20,701
actually working up a bit of a

1935
01:07:21,173 --> 01:07:21,840
team effort to do some pruning

1936
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,241
in limine of the underbrush

1937
01:07:23,241 --> 01:07:25,100
and the things that are next

1938
01:07:25,100 --> 01:07:28,610
to sir the street on Burbank

1939
01:07:29,180 --> 01:07:31,500
Avenue. So they'll be. Avenue

1940
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:32,510
of sight. I was told by a

1941
01:07:32,510 --> 01:07:35,651
planner so they'll be able to

1942
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:36,421
look right in there from the

1943
01:07:36,421 --> 01:07:37,122
school across the street and

1944
01:07:37,122 --> 01:07:38,723
see if any of those transient

1945
01:07:38,723 --> 01:07:40,559
vagrants are camping in there

1946
01:07:40,559 --> 01:07:41,827
where they want to walk

1947
01:07:41,827 --> 01:07:42,494
through because many of the

1948
01:07:42,494 --> 01:07:44,894
children are frightened by

1949
01:07:45,531 --> 01:07:47,800
that stuff. Are doing our

1950
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:48,767
best. Try to keep it as nice

1951
01:07:48,767 --> 01:07:51,437
as possible. And we do believe

1952
01:07:51,437 --> 01:07:52,838
we can make it even better.

1953
01:07:52,838 --> 01:07:53,572
We'll bring a flare to you

1954
01:07:53,572 --> 01:07:54,573
folks in the future. So you'll

1955
01:07:54,573 --> 01:07:57,476
be able to remember the exact

1956
01:07:57,476 --> 01:07:59,345
time of 10 in the morning

1957
01:07:59,345 --> 01:08:02,345
Saturday. The 19th of APRIL

1958
01:08:02,981 --> 01:08:04,416
for Rosalynn Earth Day. We do

1959
01:08:04,416 --> 01:08:05,817
Earth Day. Nature's way we go

1960
01:08:05,817 --> 01:08:06,719
out and get in nature and do

1961
01:08:06,719 --> 01:08:08,540
good stuff in the city manager

1962
01:08:08,540 --> 01:08:10,122
was out there doing that with

1963
01:08:10,122 --> 01:08:13,722
this in the past. Also. As

1964
01:08:14,627 --> 01:08:15,327
wonderful. Her and former

1965
01:08:15,327 --> 01:08:17,663
Mayor Rogers wanted to see

1966
01:08:17,663 --> 01:08:20,320
more of the problems. But

1967
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:20,732
there's poison oak out there

1968
01:08:20,732 --> 01:08:23,436
and they didn't want to walk

1969
01:08:23,436 --> 01:08:24,360
into the poison Oak area. Were

1970
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:24,737
the transit vagrants go

1971
01:08:24,737 --> 01:08:26,539
because they know people will

1972
01:08:26,539 --> 01:08:27,239
walk in there. So we got to

1973
01:08:27,239 --> 01:08:28,340
figure it out so they can see

1974
01:08:28,340 --> 01:08:31,940
what's going on. Last but not

1975
01:08:32,377 --> 01:08:34,747
least. Less than a week ago.

1976
01:08:34,747 --> 01:08:36,249
The city along with 2 officers

1977
01:08:36,249 --> 01:08:38,649
from the police Department.

1978
01:08:39,510 --> 01:08:39,685
Officer Klein and officer the

1979
01:08:39,685 --> 01:08:41,521
Rhone had a team from the

1980
01:08:41,521 --> 01:08:43,921
probation department out there

1981
01:08:44,424 --> 01:08:45,457
who helped clean up the area

1982
01:08:45,457 --> 01:08:49,570
and pulled out a couple debris

1983
01:08:52,650 --> 01:08:52,732
boxes full of a just trash. I

1984
01:08:52,732 --> 01:08:53,399
mean, it's amazing. Was get

1985
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:54,967
put out there by people who

1986
01:08:54,967 --> 01:08:57,967
come passing through. So we

1987
01:08:58,737 --> 01:08:59,539
think the city many times over

1988
01:08:59,539 --> 01:09:01,440
and we hope you'll be there

1989
01:09:01,440 --> 01:09:02,976
because we're going to keep on

1990
01:09:02,976 --> 01:09:03,809
keeping on. And then we'll be

1991
01:09:03,809 --> 01:09:06,450

01:10:40,741 --> 01:10:41,642
new legislation that was

approved earlier this year, a

2039
01:10:45,578 --> 01:10:46,647
b, 2, 2, 5, 7, that the

01:10:46,647 --> 01:10:49,647

Good afternoon.

>> Just a reminder, I was

2047
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,798
before you in JANUARY where we

2048
01:11:04,798 --> 01:11:06,534
discuss this. So this will be

2049
01:11:06,534 --> 01:11:07,868
a a reminder of of an optional

2050
01:11:07,868 --> 01:11:10,268
process that the council

2051
01:11:12,106 --> 01:11:13,174
agreed to implement. Over the

2052
01:11:13,174 --> 01:11:15,876
last 5 to 7 years or so.

2053
01:11:15,876 --> 01:11:16,443
There's been a significant

2054
01:11:16,443 --> 01:11:17,978
uptick in litigation,

2055
01:11:17,978 --> 01:11:19,880
challenging cities and public

2056
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,448
agencies regarding that rate

2057
01:11:21,448 --> 01:11:22,149
setting process ease. And in

2058
01:11:22,149 --> 01:11:23,584
response, the Legislature has

2059
01:11:23,584 --> 01:11:27,184
done a couple of things. One

2060
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,230
of which is a b, 2, 2, 5, 7,

2061
01:11:30,230 --> 01:11:30,758
that allows agencies such as

2062
01:11:30,758 --> 01:11:31,458
the city implement an

2063
01:11:31,458 --> 01:11:33,458
exhaustion of administrative

2064
01:11:35,462 --> 01:11:37,462
remedies requirement. We

2065
01:11:37,697 --> 01:11:40,167
included that in our notices

2066
01:11:40,167 --> 01:11:41,869
that went out to the public on

2067
01:11:41,869 --> 01:11:44,869
JANUARY. 15th, there was an

2068
01:11:44,871 --> 01:11:45,606
interim deadline of MARCH 5th

2069
01:11:45,606 --> 01:11:49,206
for folks to provide a written

2070
01:11:49,410 --> 01:11:50,645
objection. And failure to

2071
01:11:50,645 --> 01:11:52,947
provide a written objection

2072
01:11:52,947 --> 01:11:53,647
means that those parties

2073
01:11:53,647 --> 01:11:56,470
cannot file suit challenging

2074
01:11:57,218 --> 01:11:59,190
the right change. Let me

2075
01:11:59,190 --> 01:11:59,687
before I go further, take a

2076
01:11:59,687 --> 01:12:02,190
step back and maybe provide

2077
01:12:02,190 --> 01:12:03,924
some further context. This is

2078
01:12:03,924 --> 01:12:05,760
a quite narrow item that is

2079
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,428
before the council. This is

2080
01:12:07,428 --> 01:12:09,828
just responding to the 10

2081
01:12:10,998 --> 01:12:11,665
objections that we received

2082
01:12:11,665 --> 01:12:14,802
later on in the agenda. We

2083
01:12:14,802 --> 01:12:15,536
will have the protest hearing

2084
01:12:15,536 --> 01:12:18,506
where any interested member of

2085
01:12:18,506 --> 01:12:20,275
the public will have

2086
01:12:20,275 --> 01:12:21,800
opportunity to comments and

2087
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:22,477
provide an objection or excuse

2088
01:12:22,477 --> 01:12:26,770
me, a protest to the proposed

2089
01:12:29,717 --> 01:12:31,520
rate changes. So are task

2090
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:32,119
tonight for us. The City

2091
01:12:32,119 --> 01:12:33,888
Council is to respond in

2092
01:12:33,888 --> 01:12:36,888
writing to each of those 10

2093
01:12:36,958 --> 01:12:38,260
timely submitted objections.

2094
01:12:38,260 --> 01:12:39,260
We have to explain her

2095
01:12:39,260 --> 01:12:41,429
rationale as to why we're

2096
01:12:41,429 --> 01:12:42,930
retaining or altering the

2097
01:12:42,930 --> 01:12:44,165
proposed fee. Our case, we are

2098
01:12:44,165 --> 01:12:46,565
recommending that we retain

2099
01:12:48,737 --> 01:12:49,637
our proposed And then lastly,

2100
01:12:49,637 --> 01:12:51,706
we present written responses

2101
01:12:51,706 --> 01:12:53,107
to the City Council for

2102
01:12:53,107 --> 01:12:53,842
consideration prior to the

2103
01:12:53,842 --> 01:12:56,543
protest hearing. That's why it

2104
01:12:56,543 --> 01:12:57,212
was important that we're

2105
01:12:57,212 --> 01:13:00,212
having this item before we

2106
01:13:01,982 --> 01:13:03,918
conduct a protester. You have

2107
01:13:03,918 --> 01:13:06,318
4 options and responding to

2108
01:13:07,655 --> 01:13:08,290
written objections. We can

2109
01:13:08,290 --> 01:13:08,924
clarify our proposed rate

2110
01:13:08,924 --> 01:13:11,924
change. We can reduce the

2111
01:13:12,394 --> 01:13:13,295
proposed rate change, weaken

2112
01:13:13,295 --> 01:13:14,996
table the item for further

2113
01:13:14,996 --> 01:13:16,164
consideration at a future

2114
01:13:16,164 --> 01:13:19,764
meeting or we can proceed to

2115
01:13:21,636 --> 01:13:22,303
the protest hearing. So as I

2116
01:13:22,303 --> 01:13:24,303
mentioned, we receive 10

2117
01:13:26,508 --> 01:13:27,876
timely written objections. You

2118
01:13:27,876 --> 01:13:29,770
have a resolution before you

2119
01:13:29,770 --> 01:13:32,770
and the structure of the

2120
01:13:32,380 --> 01:13:33,348
resolution is such where those

2121
01:13:33,348 --> 01:13:35,748
10 objections are included in

2122
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,870
exhibit a 2. The resolution

2123
01:13:39,870 --> 01:13:40,956
before you. They have been

2124
01:13:40,956 --> 01:13:42,824
redacted. So removes the first

2125
01:13:42,824 --> 01:13:44,359
name address signature and so

2126
01:13:44,359 --> 01:13:47,959
on. But the content of the

2127
01:13:48,463 --> 01:13:50,766
objection is still there. And

2128
01:13:50,766 --> 01:13:51,466
then Exhibit b is our

2129
01:13:51,466 --> 01:13:53,866
recommended responses to each

2130
01:13:55,537 --> 01:13:57,937
objection. Most of the

2131
01:13:58,607 --> 01:14:01,700
objections that we received

2132
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:01,710
Rays policy arguments. You

2133
01:14:01,710 --> 01:14:03,478
know, folks just saying I

2134
01:14:03,478 --> 01:14:06,478
don't want to see this

2135
01:14:06,548 --> 01:14:08,948
proposed increase, go through.

2136
01:14:10,252 --> 01:14:11,887
They did not articulate a

2137
01:14:11,887 --> 01:14:12,554
specific legal basis for

2138
01:14:12,554 --> 01:14:14,954
rejecting or modifying the

2139
01:14:15,791 --> 01:14:19,391
proposed rate change. A few of

2140
01:14:20,229 --> 01:14:23,229
the objections. Do raise legal

2141
01:14:23,899 --> 01:14:25,867
arguments and we responded in

2142
01:14:25,867 --> 01:14:26,902
some cases we clarified

2143
01:14:26,902 --> 01:14:28,902
without making proposed

2144
01:14:29,938 --> 01:14:31,173
amendments to the rate change.

2145
01:14:31,173 --> 01:14:31,807
And in other cases, it just

2146
01:14:31,807 --> 01:14:32,508
gave us an opportunity to

2147
01:14:32,508 --> 01:14:34,908
provide a more comprehensive

2148
01:14:36,450 --> 01:14:37,713
response. As to all 10

2149
01:14:37,713 --> 01:14:38,881
objections. We are

2150
01:14:38,881 --> 01:14:39,815
recommending that you proceed

2151
01:14:39,815 --> 01:14:42,815
to the protest hearing which

2152
01:14:45,820 --> 01:14:46,622
will occur later tonight. And

2153
01:14:46,622 --> 01:14:48,557
that is our recommendation

2154
01:14:48,557 --> 01:14:50,192
that you adopt the resolution

2155
01:14:50,192 --> 01:14:52,592
respond to the 10 timely

2156
01:14:54,330 --> 01:14:55,664
received objections conclude

2157
01:14:55,664 --> 01:14:56,465
that the objections do not

2158
01:14:56,465 --> 01:14:57,333
result in any amendments to

2159
01:14:57,333 --> 01:15:00,333
the proposed rates and then

2160
01:15:01,771 --> 01:15:02,504
proceed to the 2.18 hearing.

2161
01:15:02,504 --> 01:15:06,104
>> Thank you. Bring it back to

2162
01:15:08,377 --> 01:15:09,178
council for questions. Just

2163
01:15:09,178 --> 01:15:12,778
just want to make sure I

2164
01:15:13,449 --> 01:15:15,251
understood clearly. So we're

2165
01:15:15,251 --> 01:15:17,353
going to be going through this

2166
01:15:17,353 --> 01:15:19,422
rather narrow legal item right

2167
01:15:19,422 --> 01:15:20,560
immediately after this. We're

2168
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:21,257
gonna go the full public

2169
01:15:21,257 --> 01:15:23,559
hearing on the water and

2170
01:15:23,559 --> 01:15:24,594
wastewater rates. I know that

2171
01:15:24,594 --> 01:15:25,327
we have some people here in

2172
01:15:25,327 --> 01:15:28,327
chambers who are interested in

2173
01:15:28,664 --> 01:15:30,666
making comment tonight that I

2174
01:15:30,666 --> 01:15:31,734
understand correctly that the

2175
01:15:31,734 --> 01:15:33,770
public comment on this

2176
01:15:33,770 --> 01:15:35,303
particular item is best

2177
01:15:35,303 --> 01:15:36,500
focused on these very narrow

2178
01:15:36,500 --> 01:15:37,707
range of of legal issues that

2179
01:15:37,707 --> 01:15:39,876
you're that you highlight in

2180
01:15:39,876 --> 01:15:40,977
your slides. And for those who

2181
01:15:40,977 --> 01:15:42,412
are interested in commenting

2182
01:15:42,412 --> 01:15:43,120
more broadly on whether the

2183
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,412
policy is wiser giving

2184
01:15:46,315 --> 01:15:47,490
thoughts on the policy, those

2185
01:15:47,490 --> 01:15:49,452
comments might be better saved

2186
01:15:49,452 --> 01:15:50,153
for item. 16.1 which will get

2187
01:15:50,153 --> 01:15:50,887
to immediately after meeting

2188
01:15:50,887 --> 01:15:51,721
the following. This one that I

2189
01:15:51,721 --> 01:15:53,422
understand it correctly, that

2190
01:15:53,422 --> 01:15:55,822
that's absolutely correct. All

2191
01:15:56,392 --> 01:15:57,594
right. Thank you. There are

2192
01:15:57,594 --> 01:15:58,194
other questions from council

2193
01:15:58,194 --> 01:16:01,194
was opened up to public

2194
01:16:02,232 --> 01:16:02,932
comment, MR. Do it.

2195
01:16:02,932 --> 01:16:05,735
>> My name is Dwayne De Wit.

2196
01:16:05,735 --> 01:16:06,970
I'm from Roseland. Legal

2197
01:16:06,970 --> 01:16:08,805
counsel for the city has

2198
01:16:08,805 --> 01:16:09,905
recommended to me that I

2199
01:16:09,905 --> 01:16:11,907
mentioned I've been appointed

2200
01:16:11,907 --> 01:16:13,342
to the board of Public

2201
01:16:13,342 --> 01:16:14,577
Utilities by MISTER Eddie

2202
01:16:14,577 --> 01:16:17,577
Alvarez, who Kylie thought of

2203
01:16:17,980 --> 01:16:19,490
me being on that board. My

2204
01:16:19,490 --> 01:16:21,184
comments tonight and no way,

2205
01:16:21,184 --> 01:16:21,918
shape or form reflect anything

2206
01:16:21,918 --> 01:16:25,518
that the city has a policy.

2207
01:16:25,922 --> 01:16:27,457
They're just my private views.

2208
01:16:27,457 --> 01:16:29,192
Having discussed matters such

2209
01:16:29,192 --> 01:16:32,792
as this with people in the

2210
01:16:32,796 --> 01:16:34,497
community for 3 decades. This

2211
01:16:34,497 --> 01:16:37,497
is a very narrow situation

2212
01:16:37,867 --> 01:16:39,436
tonight where you needed to

2213
01:16:39,436 --> 01:16:41,836
have specific legal citations

2214
01:16:42,973 --> 01:16:45,175
or arguments. As I stand here

2215
01:16:45,175 --> 01:16:47,575
tonight, there's nothing here

2216
01:16:47,677 --> 01:16:48,344
for me to see on this table

2217
01:16:48,344 --> 01:16:49,450
about this item in any way,

2218
01:16:49,450 --> 01:16:53,245
shape or form is a member of

2219
01:16:53,817 --> 01:16:55,519
the public. No examples of the

2220
01:16:55,519 --> 01:16:57,919
10 protests that were turned

2221
01:16:58,622 --> 01:17:01,558
in and there are no examples

2222
01:17:01,558 --> 01:17:05,158
of the responses city has to

2223
01:17:05,228 --> 01:17:06,964
the 10 items. In the past. The

2224
01:17:06,964 --> 01:17:08,832
city used to have a binder

2225
01:17:08,832 --> 01:17:11,535
here. When you came to this

2226
01:17:11,535 --> 01:17:12,536
meeting, you got to see what

2227
01:17:12,536 --> 01:17:15,536
was happening and there was

2228
01:17:17,407 --> 01:17:19,420
all of the items. Each number

2229
01:17:19,420 --> 01:17:20,811
there for us to see in the

2230
01:17:20,811 --> 01:17:22,345
binder to understand what was

2231
01:17:22,345 --> 01:17:23,180
happening for the public to

2232
01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:25,580
know what's being talked

2233
01:17:26,450 --> 01:17:27,183
about. Exactly. A typical

2234
01:17:27,183 --> 01:17:30,386
member of the community who is

2235
01:17:30,386 --> 01:17:33,790
not an attorney. Well not know

2236
01:17:33,790 --> 01:17:35,793
where to find legal citations

2237
01:17:35,793 --> 01:17:38,128
or arguments to bolster their

2238
01:17:38,128 --> 01:17:40,630
opinion that what's occurring

2239
01:17:40,630 --> 01:17:41,965
is basically a loss of rights

2240
01:17:41,965 --> 01:17:44,965
for the public members. You

2241
01:17:45,902 --> 01:17:48,372
see this as narrowing the

2242
01:17:48,372 --> 01:17:49,600
situation to what are called

2243
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,600
exhausting administrative

2244
01:17:52,443 --> 01:17:53,110
remedies. Rate payers and

2245
01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:55,111
members of the public. See,

2246
01:17:55,111 --> 01:17:58,111
this is like, well, they're

2247
01:17:59,450 --> 01:18:00,183
making even harder to try to

2248
01:18:00,183 --> 01:18:02,583
participate and the discussion

2249
01:18:02,953 --> 01:18:05,221
as to why we have to keep

2250
01:18:05,221 --> 01:18:06,189
increasing our water rates

2251
01:18:06,189 --> 01:18:08,826
even as we do better water

2252
01:18:08,826 --> 01:18:11,226
conservation. Most of the

2253
01:18:12,596 --> 01:18:13,597
folks I know doing that again

2254
01:18:13,597 --> 01:18:14,498
to save more water, especially

2255
01:18:14,498 --> 01:18:17,498
the farmers and the rural

2256
01:18:17,501 --> 01:18:19,170
folks Santa Rosa City limits.

2257
01:18:19,170 --> 01:18:22,170
Water rates always go up.

2258
01:18:22,773 --> 01:18:25,443
>> Up up up. Over in Roseland

2259
01:18:25,443 --> 01:18:26,344
people are on wells. A lot of

2260
01:18:26,344 --> 01:18:28,112
them and they're glad to avoid

2261
01:18:28,112 --> 01:18:30,314
the use of Santa Rosa City

2262
01:18:30,314 --> 01:18:31,649
water. My concerns tonight or

2263
01:18:31,649 --> 01:18:34,649
that you should be providing

2264
01:18:35,786 --> 01:18:37,355
to the public. The actual

2265
01:18:37,355 --> 01:18:38,522
examples. What's being

2266
01:18:38,522 --> 01:18:40,624
referenced here as decision is

2267
01:18:40,624 --> 01:18:41,859
being made by you. No member

2268
01:18:41,859 --> 01:18:46,590
of the public can see it here.

2269
01:18:46,830 --> 01:18:48,650
And it's just to me, not fair.

2270
01:18:48,650 --> 01:18:50,535
And I do believe you can make

2271
01:18:50,535 --> 01:18:51,202
things more fair by your

2272
01:18:51,202 --> 01:18:53,602
stipulations to make these

2273
01:18:53,805 --> 01:18:55,606
items available to the public,

2274
01:18:55,606 --> 01:18:56,607
to be able to see them before

2275
01:18:56,607 --> 01:18:59,607
you make your decision. Thank

2276
01:19:00,511 --> 01:19:01,212
you.

2277
01:19:01,212 --> 01:19:01,845
>> Thank you to Wayne. Would

2278
01:19:01,845 --> 01:19:04,845
any other members of the

2279
01:19:05,490 --> 01:19:05,717
public like to speak? Seeing

2280
01:19:05,717 --> 01:19:09,317
none? I'll bring it back to

2281
01:19:09,654 --> 01:19:10,655
MR. Creepy. Thank you, MR.

2282
01:19:10,655 --> 01:19:11,756

And then we also are killed

2336
01:20:53,910 --> 01:20:53,758

01:21:00,165 --> 01:21:02,334
doing parts of this

2342
01:21:02,334 --> 01:21:04,734
presentation this evening. We

2343
01:21:05,938 --> 01:21:06,638
also have other members of

2344
01:21:06,638 --> 01:21:07,373
staff in the audience in case

2345
01:21:07,373 --> 01:21:09,773
there's any specific questions

2346
01:21:13,780 --> 01:21:15,146
we can't answer. So with that

2347
01:21:15,146 --> 01:21:18,746
we are going to go through

2348
01:21:18,951 --> 01:21:19,618
tonight. Quick reminder of the

2349
01:21:19,618 --> 01:21:21,587
objection. Objection,

2350
01:21:21,587 --> 01:21:23,987
objectives. Pardon me. The

2351
01:21:24,523 --> 01:21:26,923
objectives and general rate

2352
01:21:27,526 --> 01:21:28,561
setting. We are also going to

2353
01:21:28,561 --> 01:21:29,562
go through our rate

2354
01:21:29,562 --> 01:21:31,962
recommendations and then we

2355
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:35,234
will talk a little bit about

2356
01:21:35,234 --> 01:21:38,234
cip delivery value of water

2357
01:21:39,104 --> 01:21:40,172
campaign and how we've been

2358
01:21:40,172 --> 01:21:41,407
providing information. Prop

2359
01:21:41,407 --> 01:21:42,441
2.18, procedures and then we

2360
01:21:42,441 --> 01:21:45,441
will have a recommendation and

2361
01:21:46,178 --> 01:21:48,147
open the protest hearing. I do

2362
01:21:48,147 --> 01:21:49,515
know that mayor, I believe you

2363
01:21:49,515 --> 01:21:51,183
have this recommendation to

2364
01:21:51,183 --> 01:21:53,886
remind the public, but I also

2365
01:21:53,886 --> 01:21:55,855
wanted to remind the public on

2366
01:21:55,855 --> 01:21:57,923
the outset now is the time

2367
01:21:57,923 --> 01:21:58,624
between now and when the

2368
01:21:58,624 --> 01:22:01,240
public hearing closes. Anyone

2369
01:22:01,193 --> 01:22:03,228
wants to submit an additional

2370
01:22:03,228 --> 01:22:04,197
protest, they can do so and

2371
01:22:04,197 --> 01:22:06,432
need to do so in writing. And

2372
01:22:06,432 --> 01:22:09,432
there are forms available up

2373
01:22:10,403 --> 01:22:11,103
at the table here tonight. So

2374
01:22:11,103 --> 01:22:11,871
with that, I'm going to turn

2375
01:22:11,871 --> 01:22:14,574
it over to mark and he's going

2376
01:22:14,574 --> 01:22:18,174
to go through some of these

2377
01:22:20,513 --> 01:22:21,214
flights. Great. Thank you,

2378
01:22:21,214 --> 01:22:23,614
Director Burke good evening,

2379
01:22:23,750 --> 01:22:25,618
MR. Mayor and council members.

2380
01:22:25,618 --> 01:22:26,785
>> Thank you for having me

2381
01:22:26,785 --> 01:22:28,354
again this evening. I'll go

2382
01:22:28,354 --> 01:22:30,188
over this presentation which I

2383
01:22:30,188 --> 01:22:32,588
have presented to council

2384
01:22:32,792 --> 01:22:33,960
previously saw. Keep it brief

2385
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,630
when we do a rate study for

2386
01:22:37,630 --> 01:22:38,932
water and sewer, we do start

2387
01:22:38,932 --> 01:22:39,966
with a certain objectives and

2388
01:22:39,966 --> 01:22:41,601
we have a list here of the

2389
01:22:41,601 --> 01:22:43,200
objectives that we had at the

2390
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:43,736
outset. You will notice that

2391
01:22:43,736 --> 01:22:46,606
legal compliance is at the top

2392
01:22:46,606 --> 01:22:47,974
of the list because one of the

2393
01:22:47,974 --> 01:22:48,942
most important part of my job

2394
01:22:48,942 --> 01:22:51,844
is to make sure that the rates

2395
01:22:51,844 --> 01:22:53,479
that are being proposed are

2396
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,879
compliant with proposition to

2397
01:22:56,382 --> 01:22:58,382
18 and the California

2398
01:22:59,152 --> 01:23:00,520
Constitution and I can

2399
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,222
validate that. We also want to

2400
01:23:02,222 --> 01:23:03,456
make sure that we protect the

2401
01:23:03,456 --> 01:23:04,900
both utilities, the water and

2402
01:23:04,900 --> 01:23:05,158
wastewater utilities that

2403
01:23:05,158 --> 01:23:07,393
they're financially stable and

2404
01:23:07,393 --> 01:23:09,793
that you have sufficient

2405
01:23:10,163 --> 01:23:10,997
revenue while minimizing rate

2406
01:23:10,997 --> 01:23:11,564
increases to your customers,

2407
01:23:11,564 --> 01:23:13,399
making sure customers

2408
01:23:13,399 --> 01:23:14,267
understand the race that their

2409
01:23:14,267 --> 01:23:17,867
pain and keeping the rates as

2410
01:23:19,739 --> 01:23:20,673
affordable as possible. When

2411
01:23:20,673 --> 01:23:22,843
we do a rate study, there's 3

2412
01:23:22,843 --> 01:23:24,577
general steps that we cover.

2413
01:23:24,577 --> 01:23:25,245
The first is we call revenue

2414
01:23:25,245 --> 01:23:25,945
requirements. You can also

2415
01:23:25,945 --> 01:23:29,545
think of this is a financial

2416
01:23:29,582 --> 01:23:31,618
plan. Where are we evaluate

2417
01:23:31,618 --> 01:23:32,819
all of the existing revenue

2418
01:23:32,819 --> 01:23:33,854
and the forecasted expenses

2419
01:23:33,854 --> 01:23:36,589
over the next 10 years. And we

2420
01:23:36,589 --> 01:23:38,191
develop a financial plan for

2421
01:23:38,191 --> 01:23:39,593
how much rate revenue needs to

2422
01:23:39,593 --> 01:23:40,226
be adjusted in weather. Debt

2423
01:23:40,226 --> 01:23:41,127
needs to be issued. Those

2424
01:23:41,127 --> 01:23:44,640
types of kind of larger

2425
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:44,765
picture decisions. Once we

2426
01:23:44,765 --> 01:23:47,165
understand much rate revenue

2427
01:23:47,567 --> 01:23:48,235
needs to be generated, we do

2428
01:23:48,235 --> 01:23:50,504
it. What's called the cost

2429
01:23:50,504 --> 01:23:52,606
service analysis rate design,

2430
01:23:52,606 --> 01:23:55,442
which is the portion of the

2431
01:23:55,442 --> 01:23:56,900
study where we make sure that

2432
01:23:56,900 --> 01:23:57,911
everybody is pain and

2433
01:23:57,911 --> 01:23:58,912
equitable portion of the rates

2434
01:23:58,912 --> 01:24:00,912
that everybody's Payne

2435
01:24:01,582 --> 01:24:03,450
relative to the cost of there

2436
01:24:03,450 --> 01:24:04,151
imposing on the system and

2437
01:24:04,151 --> 01:24:07,151
that were being equitable and

2438
01:24:08,488 --> 01:24:09,422
how we charge rates. So

2439
01:24:09,422 --> 01:24:10,491
jumping into the

2440
01:24:10,491 --> 01:24:11,592
recommendations are first

2441
01:24:11,592 --> 01:24:14,862
light. Here is a summary of

2442
01:24:14,862 --> 01:24:15,496
the recommendations and the

2443
01:24:15,496 --> 01:24:16,130
the overall rate revenue

2444
01:24:16,130 --> 01:24:18,530
increases that are being

2445
01:24:18,532 --> 01:24:20,367
proposed over the next 5 years

2446
01:24:20,367 --> 01:24:21,100
in the first column you see

2447
01:24:21,100 --> 01:24:24,100
that the water rates, the

2448
01:24:24,338 --> 01:24:25,500
overall rate rate revenue is

2449
01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:26,730
proposed to increase by 6%

2450
01:24:26,730 --> 01:24:29,730
over the next 3 years. And

2451
01:24:29,209 --> 01:24:31,312
then 7% for 2 years for

2452
01:24:31,312 --> 01:24:32,246
wastewater is 5% per year for

2453
01:24:32,246 --> 01:24:35,846
5 years. And then the last we

2454
01:24:36,983 --> 01:24:37,685
have just an example of what a

2455
01:24:37,685 --> 01:24:39,685
typical single-family, silly

2456
01:24:40,954 --> 01:24:41,988
but utility bill would how it

2457
01:24:41,988 --> 01:24:43,991
would be impacted between both

2458
01:24:43,991 --> 01:24:44,758
the water and wastewater rate

2459
01:24:44,758 --> 01:24:48,162
adjustments. So you can see a

2460
01:24:48,162 --> 01:24:49,130
sort of the midpoint between 6

2461
01:24:49,130 --> 01:24:50,663
and 5%, but not exactly

2462
01:24:50,663 --> 01:24:53,630
because it's a weighted

2463
01:24:56,403 --> 01:24:58,372
average. Here's pitchers. Got

2464
01:24:58,372 --> 01:25:01,542
a lot of information on it.

2465
01:25:01,542 --> 01:25:02,443
This is the final

2466
01:25:02,443 --> 01:25:04,278
recommendation and financial

2467
01:25:04,278 --> 01:25:06,346
forecast for the water

2468
01:25:06,346 --> 01:25:09,346
utility. The top graph is

2469
01:25:09,550 --> 01:25:10,284
comparing revenues versus

2470
01:25:10,284 --> 01:25:12,720
expenses. The green area graph

2471
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,788
in the background represents

2472
01:25:14,788 --> 01:25:17,788
revenue and the blue columns

2473
01:25:18,590 --> 01:25:19,860
and the 4 grand represents

2474
01:25:19,860 --> 01:25:21,929
expenses. And in a year where

2475
01:25:21,929 --> 01:25:22,864
you see the columns are higher

2476
01:25:22,864 --> 01:25:23,531
than the background. That's a

2477
01:25:23,531 --> 01:25:26,367
deaths a year where you're

2478
01:25:26,367 --> 01:25:27,340
drawing down reserves. But

2479
01:25:27,340 --> 01:25:27,735
generally speaking, you can

2480
01:25:27,735 --> 01:25:31,335
see that the columns and that

2481
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:32,874
background green are at the

2482
01:25:32,874 --> 01:25:34,175
same level. And so that's a

2483
01:25:34,175 --> 01:25:36,575
year where the budgets

2484
01:25:38,245 --> 01:25:39,113
balanced. We are drawing down

2485
01:25:39,113 --> 01:25:40,714
a bit on reserves over the

2486
01:25:40,714 --> 01:25:41,415
next 10 years. You can see in

2487
01:25:41,415 --> 01:25:45,150
the line graph in the middle

2488
01:25:46,454 --> 01:25:48,890
of the blue line is dropping a

2489
01:25:48,890 --> 01:25:51,290
bit from about 30 million

2490
01:25:53,962 --> 01:25:58,162
dollars. I to a bit lower. We

2491
01:25:58,299 --> 01:25:59,567
lost the But we are despite

2492
01:25:59,567 --> 01:26:01,135
the rate increases, reserves

2493
01:26:01,135 --> 01:26:04,735
will get drawn down to some

2494
01:26:06,307 --> 01:26:07,141
degree because of a pretty

2495
01:26:07,141 --> 01:26:07,809
intensive effort to increase

2496
01:26:07,809 --> 01:26:08,743
capital spending. And I'll

2497
01:26:08,743 --> 01:26:12,343
show you those numbers here in

2498
01:26:12,981 --> 01:26:14,348
a moment.

2499
01:26:14,348 --> 01:26:16,184
>> think we can see that the

2500
01:26:16,184 --> 01:26:18,190
on the bottom row. There you

2501
01:26:18,190 --> 01:26:18,686
see capital appropriations

2502
01:26:18,686 --> 01:26:19,353
currently.

2503
01:26:19,353 --> 01:26:21,353
>> Are about 9.5 million

2504
01:26:21,723 --> 01:26:23,691
dollars. And you can see by

2505
01:26:23,691 --> 01:26:24,292
2035 this cap appropriations

2506
01:26:24,292 --> 01:26:26,692
are going to 34 million

2507
01:26:28,729 --> 01:26:29,364
dollars. That is one of the

2508
01:26:29,364 --> 01:26:30,310
city's initiatives is to

2509
01:26:30,310 --> 01:26:32,310
increase capital

2510
01:26:33,267 --> 01:26:34,569
appropriations and so we are.

2511
01:26:34,569 --> 01:26:35,203
We do have a plan to deliver

2512
01:26:35,203 --> 01:26:38,203
on that over the next 10

2513
01:26:42,410 --> 01:26:43,345
years. For when we do the cost

2514
01:26:43,345 --> 01:26:46,945
to cut cost of service and

2515
01:26:47,215 --> 01:26:49,251
rate design. The general

2516
01:26:49,251 --> 01:26:50,318
philosophy is that we identify

2517
01:26:50,318 --> 01:26:52,186
different buckets for

2518
01:26:52,186 --> 01:26:53,880
allocating costs. Here you can

2519
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:53,789
see we identify customer

2520
01:26:53,789 --> 01:26:56,558
costs, which are cars driven

2521
01:26:56,558 --> 01:26:57,191
by the existence of accounts

2522
01:26:57,191 --> 01:26:59,591
capacity costs, which are

2523
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:00,428
driven by the size of the

2524
01:27:00,428 --> 01:27:01,129
system and commodity costs,

2525
01:27:01,129 --> 01:27:04,729
which are driven by the sale

2526
01:27:04,966 --> 01:27:05,801
of actual water. And so we

2527
01:27:05,801 --> 01:27:08,801
designed the race based on

2528
01:27:10,639 --> 01:27:12,474
these 3 3 categories. And you

2529
01:27:12,474 --> 01:27:13,542
can see a little bit more

2530
01:27:13,542 --> 01:27:14,209
detail in there. The blue

2531
01:27:14,209 --> 01:27:15,210
represents those commodity

2532
01:27:15,210 --> 01:27:15,844
costs, which we recover

2533
01:27:15,844 --> 01:27:17,579
through your use revenue.

2534
01:27:17,579 --> 01:27:18,380
That's your variable revenue

2535
01:27:18,380 --> 01:27:19,915
that will increase and

2536
01:27:19,915 --> 01:27:22,915
decrease depending on how much

2537
01:27:23,150 --> 01:27:23,919
water folks use any given year

2538
01:27:23,919 --> 01:27:27,519
and the red categories or as

2539
01:27:27,823 --> 01:27:28,524
your fixed revenue, which is

2540
01:27:28,524 --> 01:27:29,558
going to remain fixed every

2541
01:27:29,558 --> 01:27:31,893
year, regardless of much water

2542
01:27:31,893 --> 01:27:35,664
as you. So you can see that

2543
01:27:35,664 --> 01:27:38,640
about. 26% of your revenues

2544
01:27:41,503 --> 01:27:43,438
fix 74% is variable. And here

2545
01:27:43,438 --> 01:27:46,375
is a table that shows your

2546
01:27:46,375 --> 01:27:47,709
current rates. The proposed

2547
01:27:47,709 --> 01:27:50,546
rates for JULY 2025. So these

2548
01:27:50,546 --> 01:27:51,780
are the proposed rates in

2549
01:27:51,780 --> 01:27:55,380
year. One and then the change

2550
01:27:56,180 --> 01:27:56,685
to those rates. Both expresses

2551
01:27:56,685 --> 01:27:59,850
dollars as percentages. And

2552
01:27:59,755 --> 01:28:00,890
you can see those percentages

2553
01:28:00,890 --> 01:28:03,792
are not exactly the 6% that

2554
01:28:03,792 --> 01:28:05,327
was described earlier. And

2555
01:28:05,327 --> 01:28:05,961
that's because of the rate

2556
01:28:05,961 --> 01:28:08,961
design. When you do Casa

2557
01:28:09,865 --> 01:28:10,833
Service resigned. Update. As I

2558
01:28:10,833 --> 01:28:12,568
mentioned, those buckets

2559
01:28:12,568 --> 01:28:14,669
receive different costs are

2560
01:28:14,669 --> 01:28:15,371
updated numbers and so

2561
01:28:15,371 --> 01:28:16,739
different parts of your rate

2562
01:28:16,739 --> 01:28:17,473
structure will be affected

2563
01:28:17,473 --> 01:28:18,874
differently. And so that's why

2564
01:28:18,874 --> 01:28:20,843
this percentages are all the

2565
01:28:20,843 --> 01:28:21,777
different. It is important to

2566
01:28:21,777 --> 01:28:24,513
note year to everybody's rates

2567
01:28:24,513 --> 01:28:25,781
will go up exactly the same.

2568
01:28:25,781 --> 01:28:26,515
It's just in your one. We make

2569
01:28:26,515 --> 01:28:29,515
this adjustment to account for

2570
01:28:32,555 --> 01:28:33,756
the cost service. Update. On a

2571
01:28:33,756 --> 01:28:36,156
slightly different topic. What

2572
01:28:37,626 --> 01:28:39,862
is being proposed is to

2573
01:28:39,862 --> 01:28:42,262
reinstate the Sonoma County

2574
01:28:42,565 --> 01:28:43,399
Water Agency passed through

2575
01:28:43,399 --> 01:28:46,999
and so we did. We didn't

2576
01:28:47,103 --> 01:28:48,137
include this slide, but it's

2577
01:28:48,137 --> 01:28:50,537
number county water purchases.

2578
01:28:51,730 --> 01:28:52,475
That's a wholesale water

2579
01:28:52,475 --> 01:28:54,760
agency. The purchases of this

2580
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,760
water is a very significant

2581
01:29:01,751 --> 01:29:02,951
part of the cost to Santa Rosa

2582
01:29:02,951 --> 01:29:04,620
Water and the rate increases

2583
01:29:04,620 --> 01:29:07,200
that we've been experiencing

2584
01:29:07,456 --> 01:29:09,592
from Sonoma County recently

2585
01:29:09,592 --> 01:29:11,827
have been that higher than

2586
01:29:11,827 --> 01:29:12,495
previously anticipated and

2587
01:29:12,495 --> 01:29:13,162
also a bit hard to predict

2588
01:29:13,162 --> 01:29:15,965
they're they're not able to

2589
01:29:15,965 --> 01:29:16,666
give a very reliable forecast

2590
01:29:16,666 --> 01:29:17,834
on what their rates are going

2591
01:29:17,834 --> 01:29:21,434
to do over the next 5 years.

2592
01:29:21,871 --> 01:29:22,605
So rather than try to guess at

2593
01:29:22,605 --> 01:29:23,272
what Sonoma County is going to

2594
01:29:23,272 --> 01:29:24,506
do with the rates over the

2595
01:29:24,506 --> 01:29:26,750
next 5 years. We're proposing

2596
01:29:26,750 --> 01:29:27,100
to implement pass through

2597
01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:29,100
provision which basically

2598
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,480
waits to find out what they

2599
01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:34,500
actually adopt. And then apply

2600
01:29:34,500 --> 01:29:36,850
those costs changes to their

2601
01:29:36,850 --> 01:29:37,987
rates directly. It benefits

2602
01:29:37,987 --> 01:29:38,922
both parties. Your rate pairs

2603
01:29:38,922 --> 01:29:41,322
won't accidentally pay too

2604
01:29:41,825 --> 01:29:43,493
much. If we guess too high. If

2605
01:29:43,493 --> 01:29:45,195
we were to try to guess and

2606
01:29:45,195 --> 01:29:45,862
we're gets too high, then your

2607
01:29:45,862 --> 01:29:46,496
repairs within over pain in

2608
01:29:46,496 --> 01:29:48,297
place for us. If we if we

2609
01:29:48,297 --> 01:29:51,297
guess too low, then the

2610
01:29:51,301 --> 01:29:52,335
utility would would suffer

2611
01:29:52,335 --> 01:29:53,403
financially. So the pass

2612
01:29:53,403 --> 01:29:54,690
through provision is

2613
01:29:54,690 --> 01:29:56,690
essentially protecting both

2614
01:29:57,440 --> 01:29:58,740
sides by making sure that the

2615
01:29:58,740 --> 01:29:59,175
cost of their charges are

2616
01:29:59,175 --> 01:30:00,977
aligned with the costs are

2617
01:30:00,977 --> 01:30:02,946
incurred by Senator was a

2618
01:30:02,946 --> 01:30:04,915
water. And there's some

2619
01:30:04,915 --> 01:30:07,817
details on here that it's a

2620
01:30:07,817 --> 01:30:09,886
little bit complicated because

2621
01:30:09,886 --> 01:30:10,587
each tier is made up of a

2622
01:30:10,587 --> 01:30:11,955
different amount of cars. But

2623
01:30:11,955 --> 01:30:13,757
the basic picture is that

2624
01:30:13,757 --> 01:30:16,259
about half of tiered rates is

2625
01:30:16,259 --> 01:30:17,727
made up of Sonoma wine costs.

2626
01:30:17,727 --> 01:30:18,528
And that's the portion of the

2627
01:30:18,528 --> 01:30:20,597
rate that will be adjusted by

2628
01:30:20,597 --> 01:30:22,997
Sonoma Water rate increases

2629
01:30:24,300 --> 01:30:26,103
and the other half are Santa

2630
01:30:26,103 --> 01:30:26,803
Rosa cost, which will be

2631
01:30:26,803 --> 01:30:28,605
adjusted by the proposed rate

2632
01:30:28,605 --> 01:30:29,839
increases that were mentioned

2633
01:30:29,839 --> 01:30:30,941
earlier. We have another slide

2634
01:30:30,941 --> 01:30:31,842
here that goes into more

2635
01:30:31,842 --> 01:30:35,442
detail. That sort of takes you

2636
01:30:37,180 --> 01:30:37,781
through the math and explains

2637
01:30:37,781 --> 01:30:38,882
this in this particular

2638
01:30:38,882 --> 01:30:42,252
example of the type you can

2639
01:30:42,252 --> 01:30:43,387
see that 2027, Santa Rosa is

2640
01:30:43,387 --> 01:30:46,189
proposing raise its rates by

2641
01:30:46,189 --> 01:30:49,789
6% and if in the event center

2642
01:30:49,792 --> 01:30:52,792
send the count. Santa Claire.

2643
01:30:53,130 --> 01:30:55,231
Certainly it. Sonoma County,

2644
01:30:55,231 --> 01:30:58,168
sorry, 5 misspeak in. So the

2645
01:30:58,168 --> 01:31:01,768
only county they were to raise

2646
01:31:02,500 --> 01:31:02,973
their rates by 10%. This is

2647
01:31:02,973 --> 01:31:04,907
the how the math would play

2648
01:31:04,907 --> 01:31:07,907
and for any given scenario,

2649
01:31:08,812 --> 01:31:11,382
the math will be run. And then

2650
01:31:11,382 --> 01:31:12,480
the those numbers will taken

2651
01:31:12,480 --> 01:31:12,749
to council and council will

2652
01:31:12,749 --> 01:31:16,349
then adopt the rates that are

2653
01:31:18,222 --> 01:31:21,222
being passed through. On the

2654
01:31:21,492 --> 01:31:23,892
other utility for local

2655
01:31:24,261 --> 01:31:25,896
wastewater. This is that same

2656
01:31:25,896 --> 01:31:26,463
general graphic. We're showing

2657
01:31:26,463 --> 01:31:28,463
10 years of financial

2658
01:31:29,733 --> 01:31:30,433
forecasts of cash flow and to

2659
01:31:30,433 --> 01:31:33,433
general picture where you see

2660
01:31:33,570 --> 01:31:35,390
the reserves are being drawn

2661
01:31:35,390 --> 01:31:36,807
down that middle graph with

2662
01:31:36,807 --> 01:31:37,441
the blue line shows that

2663
01:31:37,441 --> 01:31:38,175
reserves are starting at

2664
01:31:38,175 --> 01:31:39,943
40 million dollars and they'll

2665
01:31:39,943 --> 01:31:41,612
end up about 32 million

2666
01:31:41,612 --> 01:31:42,313
dollars started to about

2667
01:31:42,313 --> 01:31:45,313
25 million dollars by the end

2668
01:31:45,416 --> 01:31:47,217
of 10 years, despite the fact

2669
01:31:47,217 --> 01:31:50,817
that we are raising rates and

2670
01:31:51,155 --> 01:31:52,290
that is attributed to the fact

2671
01:31:52,290 --> 01:31:55,290
that capital spending going to

2672
01:31:55,559 --> 01:31:56,260
increase pretty significantly

2673
01:31:56,260 --> 01:31:57,995
local at the bottom. You can

2674
01:31:57,995 --> 01:32:00,364
see the local wastewater

2675
01:32:00,364 --> 01:32:02,990
capital spending this year was

2676
01:32:02,990 --> 01:32:02,800
3.3 million dollars next year

2677
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,200
going to 14 million dollars.

2678
01:32:07,171 --> 01:32:08,940
And by 2035, we are planning

2679
01:32:08,940 --> 01:32:10,608
to appropriate 42 million

2680
01:32:10,608 --> 01:32:12,343
dollars after that ramp up in

2681
01:32:12,343 --> 01:32:14,743
capital appropriations and the

2682
01:32:15,712 --> 01:32:17,748
same general idea for the

2683
01:32:17,748 --> 01:32:19,117
regional capital spending

2684
01:32:19,117 --> 01:32:19,817
increasing from about

2685
01:32:19,817 --> 01:32:20,485
8 million dollars of the 14,

2686
01:32:20,485 --> 01:32:22,485
15 million dollars after 10

2687
01:32:25,757 --> 01:32:27,240
years. And we have the same

2688
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:28,392
general cost allocation

2689
01:32:28,392 --> 01:32:29,930
principles for wastewater

2690
01:32:29,930 --> 01:32:31,620
customer cost capacity. Casa

2691
01:32:31,620 --> 01:32:31,996
wastewater treatment costs.

2692
01:32:31,996 --> 01:32:32,697
The only difference here is

2693
01:32:32,697 --> 01:32:35,466
that for wastewater, there is

2694
01:32:35,466 --> 01:32:37,100
a strength component. And so

2695
01:32:37,100 --> 01:32:37,901
we do consider the strength of

2696
01:32:37,901 --> 01:32:39,203
different commercial customers

2697
01:32:39,203 --> 01:32:39,837
because it is more expensive

2698
01:32:39,837 --> 01:32:42,237
to treat higher strength,

2699
01:32:46,244 --> 01:32:47,780
sewage. Here's the fix for

2700
01:32:47,780 --> 01:32:47,745
says variable components for

2701
01:32:47,745 --> 01:32:50,481
wastewater. And you can see

2702
01:32:50,481 --> 01:32:51,349
that 30% of your revenue they

2703
01:32:51,349 --> 01:32:52,784
recover through wastewater

2704
01:32:52,784 --> 01:32:56,384
rates is is for through fix

2705
01:32:58,523 --> 01:33:00,191
revenue. Hear the race for

2706
01:33:00,191 --> 01:33:01,626
wastewater the current rates,

2707
01:33:01,626 --> 01:33:02,327
the proposed raise for JULY

2708
01:33:02,327 --> 01:33:05,327
and the change. And again,

2709
01:33:06,970 --> 01:33:06,831
that percent changes is

2710
01:33:06,831 --> 01:33:07,499
different from the percent.

2711
01:33:07,499 --> 01:33:09,899
The overall rate revenue

2712
01:33:10,135 --> 01:33:10,835
increase for year one because

2713
01:33:10,835 --> 01:33:12,270
of the updates to the cost of

2714
01:33:12,270 --> 01:33:14,670
service analysis. But in

2715
01:33:15,730 --> 01:33:15,707
years, 2, 3, 4, 5, every base

2716
01:33:15,707 --> 01:33:18,707
rates will go up because

2717
01:33:19,277 --> 01:33:22,277
exactly the same amount. And

2718
01:33:22,714 --> 01:33:23,582
this final table is actually

2719
01:33:23,582 --> 01:33:24,248
MAY be more helpful than it

2720
01:33:24,248 --> 01:33:25,884
might appear on the surface

2721
01:33:25,884 --> 01:33:28,186
because there's so many

2722
01:33:28,186 --> 01:33:29,187
numbers. But this is a bill

2723
01:33:29,187 --> 01:33:31,587
impact analysis which allows

2724
01:33:35,927 --> 01:33:36,595
you to look up any kind of

2725
01:33:36,595 --> 01:33:37,329
rate type of customer that

2726
01:33:37,329 --> 01:33:41,265
might be of interest to you to

2727
01:33:41,265 --> 01:33:42,501
see exactly what their bill

2728
01:33:42,501 --> 01:33:43,135
we'll any year one. So you can

2729
01:33:43,135 --> 01:33:45,203
see at the very top, for

2730
01:33:45,203 --> 01:33:46,838
example, we show a

2731
01:33:46,838 --> 01:33:47,806
single-family home with a low

2732
01:33:47,806 --> 01:33:50,806
water usage currently pays a

2733
01:33:54,460 --> 01:33:54,646
combined. The bill $133.80

2734
01:33:54,646 --> 01:33:56,181
with the proposed rate

2735
01:33:56,181 --> 01:33:57,416
increases near one that can

2736
01:33:57,416 --> 01:34:00,218
buy and build will go to $141

2737
01:34:00,218 --> 01:34:01,253
and $0.43, which was I the

2738
01:34:01,253 --> 01:34:03,653
combined increase of $7 and

2739
01:34:05,290 --> 01:34:06,991
$0.63 or a 5.7% increase. And

2740
01:34:06,991 --> 01:34:07,893
you can go through this table

2741
01:34:07,893 --> 01:34:10,796
and and find different types

2742
01:34:10,796 --> 01:34:11,930
of customers to see how they

2743
01:34:11,930 --> 01:34:14,330
will be impacted. Now,

2744
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:15,267
obviously there's tens of

2745
01:34:15,267 --> 01:34:17,667
thousands of customers and

2746
01:34:18,537 --> 01:34:19,237
they all have different

2747
01:34:19,237 --> 01:34:19,905
characteristics, meter sizes,

2748
01:34:19,905 --> 01:34:21,472
water usage. And so we can

2749
01:34:21,472 --> 01:34:25,720
capture it all here. But this

2750
01:34:25,109 --> 01:34:25,811
is simply to give ache a cross

2751
01:34:25,811 --> 01:34:26,545
section to help give give you

2752
01:34:26,545 --> 01:34:30,745
a picture of how folks will be

2753
01:34:34,619 --> 01:34:35,487
affected. And here is a survey

2754
01:34:35,487 --> 01:34:37,456
that shows the combines bill

2755
01:34:37,456 --> 01:34:40,456
for various utilities in your

2756
01:34:40,526 --> 01:34:41,160
region. You can see the

2757
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:41,860
current rates right now.

2758
01:34:41,860 --> 01:34:44,860
You're 6 from the bottom. And

2759
01:34:45,464 --> 01:34:46,332
with the proposed rate

2760
01:34:46,332 --> 01:34:48,732
increases, you'll leapfrog one

2761
01:34:48,967 --> 01:34:51,804
other utility region. We don't

2762
01:34:51,804 --> 01:34:52,671
set rates based on what other

2763
01:34:52,671 --> 01:34:53,338
folks charge. You're not

2764
01:34:53,338 --> 01:34:54,907
allowed to charge them that

2765
01:34:54,907 --> 01:34:56,909
way. This is simply a data

2766
01:34:56,909 --> 01:34:57,877
point to give you a sense of

2767
01:34:57,877 --> 01:35:01,477
where you stand in the region

2768
01:35:02,748 --> 01:35:04,750
relative to their costs. And

2769
01:35:04,750 --> 01:35:05,651
once again, this slide we

2770
01:35:05,651 --> 01:35:08,187
showed earlier, just a recap

2771
01:35:08,187 --> 01:35:08,921
of the rate increases that are

2772
01:35:08,921 --> 01:35:09,455
being proposed over the next 5

2773
01:35:09,455 --> 01:35:11,855
years for water and

2774
01:35:16,610 --> 01:35:17,630
wastewater.

2775
01:35:17,630 --> 01:35:19,831
>> So now all talk quickly

2776
01:35:19,831 --> 01:35:22,231
about Capital project delivery

2777
01:35:22,568 --> 01:35:23,402
as MR. Hildebrand noted we are

2778
01:35:23,402 --> 01:35:26,272
looking to invest quite a bit

2779
01:35:26,272 --> 01:35:28,140
more and the infrastructure on

2780
01:35:28,140 --> 01:35:30,209
the water wastewater and

2781
01:35:30,209 --> 01:35:31,310
regional system. The numbers

2782
01:35:31,310 --> 01:35:32,611
we are aiming to get to over

2783
01:35:32,611 --> 01:35:35,548
the next 10 years are what we

2784
01:35:35,548 --> 01:35:36,916
should be investing today. So

2785
01:35:36,916 --> 01:35:38,851
that will get us closer and

2786
01:35:38,851 --> 01:35:39,551
we'll have to revisit as we go

2787
01:35:39,551 --> 01:35:42,388
forward. But these rates are

2788
01:35:42,388 --> 01:35:43,756
really looking to do that. As

2789
01:35:43,756 --> 01:35:46,756
was noted earlier by director

2790
01:35:48,193 --> 01:35:49,950
and the Sea. We are looking at

2791
01:35:49,950 --> 01:35:51,297
ways working together on how

2792
01:35:51,297 --> 01:35:53,432
we can get more capital

2793
01:35:53,432 --> 01:35:55,334
project delivery. One of the

2794
01:35:55,334 --> 01:35:56,936
things we're looking to also

2795
01:35:56,936 --> 01:35:57,837
do with this ramp up and

2796
01:35:57,837 --> 01:36:00,237
increased investment is to

2797
01:36:02,775 --> 01:36:04,811
look at issuing a request for

2798
01:36:04,811 --> 01:36:05,678
proposals to get a consulting

2799
01:36:05,678 --> 01:36:09,682
firm on board to help us with

2800
01:36:09,682 --> 01:36:12,820
project management assist with

2801
01:36:12,485 --> 01:36:13,185
getting more projects out than

2802
01:36:13,185 --> 01:36:15,154
what the current capacity as

2803
01:36:15,154 --> 01:36:16,256
with capital projects teams.

2804
01:36:16,256 --> 01:36:17,357
So we're continuing to work

2805
01:36:17,357 --> 01:36:19,659
together on that and looking

2806
01:36:19,659 --> 01:36:20,226
to put that out so that we can

2807
01:36:20,226 --> 01:36:22,226
have additional water

2808
01:36:27,300 --> 01:36:29,202
projects. Delivered. Talking

2809
01:36:29,202 --> 01:36:31,171
quickly about the outreach. In

2810
01:36:31,171 --> 01:36:34,171
addition to what is required

2811
01:36:34,307 --> 01:36:35,709
through prop to 18 and sending

2812
01:36:35,709 --> 01:36:36,309
out our notice is that we

2813
01:36:36,309 --> 01:36:38,709
after the council study

2814
01:36:39,779 --> 01:36:42,215
session in JANUARY. We have

2815
01:36:42,215 --> 01:36:42,916
really been doing a lot of

2816
01:36:42,916 --> 01:36:45,916
outreach related to our value

2817
01:36:46,586 --> 01:36:48,188
of water campaign, really

2818
01:36:48,188 --> 01:36:49,355
focusing on the importance to

2819
01:36:49,355 --> 01:36:52,355
the community of investing in

2820
01:36:53,260 --> 01:36:55,426
their water systems. These

2821
01:36:57,630 --> 01:36:59,166
systems are owned by the

2822
01:36:59,166 --> 01:36:59,966
public. We are here to steward

2823
01:36:59,966 --> 01:37:01,735
their dollars and make sure

2824
01:37:01,735 --> 01:37:03,937
the systems continue to run.

2825
01:37:03,937 --> 01:37:04,971
And so we really want to put

2826
01:37:04,971 --> 01:37:07,700
that message out that it's

2827
01:37:07,700 --> 01:37:08,800
important just like

2828
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:09,750
maintaining a house or car.

2829
01:37:09,750 --> 01:37:11,845
You need to invest in these

2830
01:37:11,845 --> 01:37:14,800
systems to keep them running.

2831
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:15,982
So that was our focus from MAY

2832
01:37:15,982 --> 01:37:17,750
through NOVEMBER of last year.

2833
01:37:17,750 --> 01:37:18,652
And then we really started

2834
01:37:18,652 --> 01:37:20,420
getting into the nitty-gritty

2835
01:37:20,420 --> 01:37:22,689
of what the rate proposal

2836
01:37:22,689 --> 01:37:25,591
would be and focusing on that.

2837
01:37:25,591 --> 01:37:27,694
We advertised and and every

2838
01:37:27,694 --> 01:37:31,640
which way that we could think

2839
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:31,798
of whether it was through our

2840
01:37:31,798 --> 01:37:33,798
newsletter through different

2841
01:37:33,867 --> 01:37:35,802
campaigns that we participated

2842
01:37:35,802 --> 01:37:36,703
in to our water bills and also

2843
01:37:36,703 --> 01:37:39,103
taking advantage of digital

2844
01:37:40,673 --> 01:37:43,644
print and radio. In terms of

2845
01:37:43,644 --> 01:37:47,244
the numbers you can see that

2846
01:37:47,547 --> 01:37:48,715
using the Google ads we re

2847
01:37:48,715 --> 01:37:49,950
screeched about 2.4, 8 million

2848
01:37:49,950 --> 01:37:52,350
impressions reach folks that

2849
01:37:53,721 --> 01:37:55,322
way. And there are about

2850
01:37:55,322 --> 01:37:55,990
50,000 clicks through to our

2851
01:37:55,990 --> 01:37:58,990
value of water campaign and

2852
01:37:59,426 --> 01:38:00,461
information on our website

2853
01:38:00,461 --> 01:38:02,861
through our social media

2854
01:38:03,964 --> 01:38:05,964
campaign. We received 110,000

2855
01:38:06,660 --> 01:38:06,800
impressions and 4,000

2856
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:09,200
collectors to our information.

2857
01:38:10,471 --> 01:38:11,105
So we really try to leverage

2858
01:38:11,105 --> 01:38:12,173
lots of different media,

2859
01:38:12,173 --> 01:38:15,173
whether it was print radio

2860
01:38:16,644 --> 01:38:19,512
electronic. So I am now going

2861
01:38:19,512 --> 01:38:20,481
to turn it over to Destin

2862
01:38:20,481 --> 01:38:22,450
Uber. And he's going remind

2863
01:38:22,450 --> 01:38:23,116
everyone about the prop to 18

2864
01:38:23,116 --> 01:38:25,516
procedures for this protest

2865
01:38:26,220 --> 01:38:28,220
hearing.

2866
01:38:29,657 --> 01:38:32,570
>> Okay. Good afternoon again.

2867
01:38:32,392 --> 01:38:33,427
So there are a host of legal

2868
01:38:33,427 --> 01:38:34,394
requirements, both in terms of

2869
01:38:34,394 --> 01:38:37,394
process and substance that we

2870
01:38:38,466 --> 01:38:41,736
need to comply with. I want to

2871
01:38:41,736 --> 01:38:42,503
drill down on the last bullet

2872
01:38:42,503 --> 01:38:44,903
point, the formal proposition

2873
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,240
to 18 process started on

2874
01:38:48,376 --> 01:38:50,776
JANUARY. 15th. That's when

2875
01:38:52,180 --> 01:38:52,813
58,470 notices were mailed to

2876
01:38:52,813 --> 01:38:53,513
landowners and water and

2877
01:38:53,513 --> 01:38:56,513
wastewater users here in the

2878
01:38:59,253 --> 01:39:00,221
city. If there's a minimum 45

2879
01:39:00,221 --> 01:39:01,255
day, public review process

2880
01:39:01,255 --> 01:39:03,825
were actually day. 76 of my

2881
01:39:03,825 --> 01:39:04,492
math is correct. So we went

2882
01:39:04,492 --> 01:39:06,892
beyond that minimum. 45 day

2883
01:39:07,228 --> 01:39:10,228
period. This is a majority

2884
01:39:13,167 --> 01:39:14,301
protest. Law. And so unlike an

2885
01:39:14,301 --> 01:39:15,200
affirmative vote, a majority

2886
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,200
protest functions more like a

2887
01:39:20,508 --> 01:39:21,675
veto. So has Director Burke

2888
01:39:21,675 --> 01:39:24,750
mentioned earlier, folks have

2889
01:39:24,412 --> 01:39:25,179
opportunity to provide a

2890
01:39:25,179 --> 01:39:25,847
written protest up until the

2891
01:39:25,847 --> 01:39:26,447
close of the public hearing

2892
01:39:26,447 --> 01:39:28,847
that would be conducted

2893
01:39:31,286 --> 01:39:32,420
shortly. We do. The clerk has

2894
01:39:32,420 --> 01:39:34,389
printed forms of the protest.

2895
01:39:34,389 --> 01:39:37,989
Folks would like a copy, we

2896
01:39:40,428 --> 01:39:42,363
have them available. The

2897
01:39:42,363 --> 01:39:44,363
majority number is 29,236.

2898
01:39:44,465 --> 01:39:46,567
That would constitute a

2899
01:39:46,567 --> 01:39:50,167
majority as of the start of

2900
01:39:51,573 --> 01:39:53,730
this meeting, we received 156

2901
01:39:53,730 --> 01:39:53,975
so were substantially less

2902
01:39:53,975 --> 01:39:56,975
than a majority. In fact,

2903
01:39:58,346 --> 01:40:00,746
that's point to 6%. Again,

2904
01:40:01,315 --> 01:40:02,684
that number is likely going to

2905
01:40:02,684 --> 01:40:04,719
change. Voting so to speak is

2906
01:40:04,719 --> 01:40:06,821
still open. Protests can still

2907
01:40:06,821 --> 01:40:08,560
be submitted, but they have to

2908
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:11,656
be submitted in writing or a

2909
01:40:13,895 --> 01:40:14,529
protest. Do not count. We've

2910
01:40:14,529 --> 01:40:15,196
already covered this just

2911
01:40:15,196 --> 01:40:17,196
briefly. We've already

2912
01:40:18,330 --> 01:40:20,102
dispense with the written

2913
01:40:20,102 --> 01:40:20,802
objection item earlier. The

2914
01:40:20,802 --> 01:40:23,202
other optional procedure that

2915
01:40:24,973 --> 01:40:26,541
the city implemented was to

2916
01:40:26,541 --> 01:40:27,242
incorporate a 120 day statute

2917
01:40:27,242 --> 01:40:29,642
limitations, period. That was

2918
01:40:29,845 --> 01:40:31,346
included in the 58,000. Some

2919
01:40:31,346 --> 01:40:32,214
odd notices that went out. It

2920
01:40:32,214 --> 01:40:34,614
was prominently displayed and

2921
01:40:36,752 --> 01:40:37,486
that notice. Next slide. And I

2922
01:40:37,486 --> 01:40:41,860
believe I'm turning it back to

2923
01:40:42,224 --> 01:40:43,358
you. Director Burke.

2924
01:40:43,358 --> 01:40:44,960
>> The other item that is

2925
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:48,560
before you is an amendment to

2926
01:40:49,698 --> 01:40:51,833
city code title 14, you MAY

2927
01:40:51,833 --> 01:40:54,233
recall and previous rate

2928
01:40:55,604 --> 01:40:56,305
setting that we would set the

2929
01:40:56,305 --> 01:40:58,640
water rates by ordinance and

2930
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:00,342
change to city code and the

2931
01:41:00,342 --> 01:41:02,342
wastewater rates by

2932
01:41:04,246 --> 01:41:05,814
resolution. We did a lot

2933
01:41:05,814 --> 01:41:06,514
research and try to understand

2934
01:41:06,514 --> 01:41:10,114
why we sent one by ordinance

2935
01:41:10,352 --> 01:41:11,286
and one by resolution

2936
01:41:11,286 --> 01:41:12,421
conferred with city attorneys

2937
01:41:12,421 --> 01:41:16,210
office and after a lot of

2938
01:41:16,358 --> 01:41:17,526
research and determination

2939
01:41:17,526 --> 01:41:19,361
really did not find why one is

2940
01:41:19,361 --> 01:41:20,462
by ordinance. And one is by

2941
01:41:20,462 --> 01:41:22,364
resolution. And then checking

2942
01:41:22,364 --> 01:41:23,980
with other entities, typically

2943
01:41:23,980 --> 01:41:26,980
water and wastewater rates are

2944
01:41:27,670 --> 01:41:29,505
set by resolution. So the

2945
01:41:29,505 --> 01:41:30,672
amendments to the city code

2946
01:41:30,672 --> 01:41:32,708
before you would actually

2947
01:41:32,708 --> 01:41:34,443
change it so that we would

2948
01:41:34,443 --> 01:41:37,443
mimic how the wastewater rates

2949
01:41:38,113 --> 01:41:39,348
are set. So going forward, we

2950
01:41:39,348 --> 01:41:39,948
would have both water and

2951
01:41:39,948 --> 01:41:42,184
wastewater rates set by

2952
01:41:42,184 --> 01:41:44,220
council by resolution. This is

2953
01:41:44,220 --> 01:41:46,455
allowed for in the city

2954
01:41:46,455 --> 01:41:48,691
charter. And again, it's just

2955
01:41:48,691 --> 01:41:49,391
unclear as to why we picked

2956
01:41:49,391 --> 01:41:52,595
one by a one vehicle and one

2957
01:41:52,595 --> 01:41:53,863
by the other. So we're we're

2958
01:41:53,863 --> 01:41:56,863
recommending that we sent both

2959
01:41:57,867 --> 01:42:00,267
going forward by resolution.

2960
01:42:00,435 --> 01:42:01,137
So that is the item that is

2961
01:42:01,137 --> 01:42:02,237
part of this. Public hearing

2962
01:42:02,237 --> 01:42:04,237
tonight.

2963
01:42:07,677 --> 01:42:09,612
>> So with that. We did take

2964
01:42:09,612 --> 01:42:12,140
this to your board of public

2965
01:42:12,140 --> 01:42:14,116
utilities and they unanimously

2966
01:42:14,116 --> 01:42:16,516
recommended what's before you

2967
01:42:16,786 --> 01:42:17,486
today. And that is that after

2968
01:42:17,486 --> 01:42:19,886
conducting a protest hearing

2969
01:42:20,857 --> 01:42:21,924
pursuant to pop to 18 by

2970
01:42:21,924 --> 01:42:24,193
resolution approved 5 years of

2971
01:42:24,193 --> 01:42:25,761
the water or recycled water

2972
01:42:25,761 --> 01:42:26,829
and wastewater fixed and usage

2973
01:42:26,829 --> 01:42:27,463
charge rate increases, which

2974
01:42:27,463 --> 01:42:30,463
would go into effect JULY

2975
01:42:31,434 --> 01:42:34,434
first each year from 2025. To

2976
01:42:34,537 --> 01:42:35,738
2029 introduce an ordinance

2977
01:42:35,738 --> 01:42:38,738
amending title 14 of the city

2978
01:42:39,976 --> 01:42:41,711
code to allow that water

2979
01:42:41,711 --> 01:42:44,711
rates. Pete be established by

2980
01:42:45,548 --> 01:42:46,616
resolution going forward. And

2981
01:42:46,616 --> 01:42:49,552
then we also are recommending

2982
01:42:49,552 --> 01:42:50,586
that you open the public

2983
01:42:50,586 --> 01:42:51,321
hearing to allow for the

2984
01:42:51,321 --> 01:42:54,321
protest hearing as required by

2985
01:42:54,658 --> 01:42:55,291
prop to 18. And with that,

2986
01:42:55,291 --> 01:42:56,250
we're happy to answer any

2987
01:42:56,250 --> 01:42:59,250
questions that the council MAY

2988
01:43:00,463 --> 01:43:01,164
have. And thank you so much.

2989
01:43:01,164 --> 01:43:03,934
>> Thanks to all of you. What

2990
01:43:03,934 --> 01:43:04,634
a lot of work. Bring you back

2991
01:43:04,634 --> 01:43:07,634
to council any any questions

2992
01:43:08,905 --> 01:43:10,140
on this item? MR. Craig t.

2993
01:43:10,140 --> 01:43:11,207
>> Yeah. Just real quick on

2994
01:43:11,207 --> 01:43:14,207
slide 17. The table on slide.

2995
01:43:15,779 --> 01:43:16,546
17 obviously that's a those

2996
01:43:16,546 --> 01:43:19,546
are averages, right. And it

2997
01:43:20,417 --> 01:43:21,418
would be safe to say that

2998
01:43:21,418 --> 01:43:22,419
anybody who's using modern

2999
01:43:22,419 --> 01:43:24,419
building code requirements

3000
01:43:25,355 --> 01:43:26,523
Raiders irrigation sensors,

3001
01:43:26,523 --> 01:43:27,957
tankless water heaters. Those

3002
01:43:27,957 --> 01:43:30,860
things would be probably under

3003
01:43:30,860 --> 01:43:32,629
those those numbers.

3004
01:43:32,629 --> 01:43:35,629
>> For the for the which

3005
01:43:37,167 --> 01:43:39,567
single family residential. For

3006
01:43:41,938 --> 01:43:43,730
I would say the median water

3007
01:43:43,730 --> 01:43:44,207
someone who is following all

3008
01:43:44,207 --> 01:43:44,941
those coats would be probably

3009
01:43:44,941 --> 01:43:46,843
below the median. I agree with

3010
01:43:46,843 --> 01:43:48,843
ok? Thank you.

3011
01:43:50,313 --> 01:43:51,748
>> MR.

3012
01:43:51,748 --> 01:43:52,883
>> Just a quick question. I

3013
01:43:52,883 --> 01:43:53,583
think thank you for the

3014
01:43:53,583 --> 01:43:56,583
presentation. By the way, it

3015
01:43:59,522 --> 01:44:00,657
is great. Just curious about

3016
01:44:00,657 --> 01:44:01,357
are it early on either in the

3017
01:44:01,357 --> 01:44:04,628
staff report or maybe it was

3018
01:44:04,628 --> 01:44:07,430
in this presentation that on

3019
01:44:07,430 --> 01:44:08,980
average the increase for

3020
01:44:08,980 --> 01:44:10,498
repairs would be about $11.

3021
01:44:10,700 --> 01:44:12,669
And I know that. Some people

3022
01:44:12,669 --> 01:44:13,870
use more water. Some people

3023
01:44:13,870 --> 01:44:14,538
use less and different size

3024
01:44:14,538 --> 01:44:17,340
households and all of that.

3025
01:44:17,340 --> 01:44:20,340
But that's that's the average

3026
01:44:20,477 --> 01:44:21,712
today read that correctly.

3027
01:44:21,712 --> 01:44:24,347
Yet, according to this table,

3028
01:44:24,347 --> 01:44:25,150
yes, $10.69 would be the

3029
01:44:25,150 --> 01:44:27,284
median, which is about the

3030
01:44:27,284 --> 01:44:29,284
average. Okay.

3031
01:44:31,255 --> 01:44:32,523
>> and then.

3032
01:44:32,523 --> 01:44:33,556
>> You know, I I understand

3033
01:44:33,556 --> 01:44:37,393
why we need to do Of course,

3034
01:44:37,393 --> 01:44:39,530
we need invest in r

3035
01:44:39,530 --> 01:44:41,197
infrastructure in and it's not

3036
01:44:41,197 --> 01:44:41,932
just about what's happening

3037
01:44:41,932 --> 01:44:45,690
right now, but the future. For

3038
01:44:45,690 --> 01:44:45,703
those of us, you know, MAY not

3039
01:44:45,703 --> 01:44:46,436
be here in 20 years, but

3040
01:44:46,436 --> 01:44:50,360
what's going to happen and how

3041
01:44:50,908 --> 01:44:52,810
we're going to our services.

3042
01:44:52,810 --> 01:44:55,120
I'm just a little bit worried

3043
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:56,714
about folks who are on fixed

3044
01:44:56,714 --> 01:44:57,414
incomes because even though

3045
01:44:57,414 --> 01:44:59,830
that doesn't seem like a lot

3046
01:44:59,830 --> 01:45:00,384
of money for some folks, it

3047
01:45:00,384 --> 01:45:03,870
is. So so that's my only

3048
01:45:03,870 --> 01:45:05,656
concern. So that's why I

3049
01:45:05,656 --> 01:45:06,390
wanted to clarify that. And

3050
01:45:06,390 --> 01:45:07,910
does that include or might not

3051
01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:09,910
understanding this correctly?

3052
01:45:10,294 --> 01:45:13,294
The rate passed through as

3053
01:45:14,532 --> 01:45:15,966
well. And that.

3054
01:45:15,966 --> 01:45:16,667
>> this in this particular

3055
01:45:16,667 --> 01:45:19,670
scenario, we're assuming that

3056
01:45:19,971 --> 01:45:22,600
the pass through would be 6%

3057
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:24,241
so we're still waiting to see

3058
01:45:24,241 --> 01:45:25,420
what Sonoma County is going to

3059
01:45:25,420 --> 01:45:27,440
do with their rates and we

3060
01:45:27,440 --> 01:45:27,712
don't know. And do they

3061
01:45:27,712 --> 01:45:29,879
generally raise their rates

3062
01:45:29,879 --> 01:45:32,879
every year or every fiscal

3063
01:45:32,950 --> 01:45:35,950
year? Believe the announce it

3064
01:45:36,220 --> 01:45:36,787
coming up pretty soon. Thank

3065
01:45:36,787 --> 01:45:38,656
councilmember, while

3066
01:45:38,656 --> 01:45:40,656
clarification for coming.

3067
01:45:42,526 --> 01:45:43,127
>> Fiscal year. 25 26. We've

3068
01:45:43,127 --> 01:45:43,828
already included a rate

3069
01:45:43,828 --> 01:45:46,640
increase for Sonoma water. So

3070
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:48,733
there will be no Okay. So the

3071
01:45:48,733 --> 01:45:50,100
numbers you're seeing before

3072
01:45:50,100 --> 01:45:50,668
would are basically including

3073
01:45:50,668 --> 01:45:53,680
what we anticipate. Sonoma

3074
01:45:53,971 --> 01:45:54,939
Water's rate increased to be.

3075
01:45:54,939 --> 01:45:56,807
You saw that at your last

3076
01:45:56,807 --> 01:45:57,508
council meeting which was 8.6,

3077
01:45:57,508 --> 01:46:00,508
8%. We have that included in

3078
01:46:01,278 --> 01:46:04,278
this next fiscal year. Budget

3079
01:46:05,149 --> 01:46:06,317
going forward for fiscal

3080
01:46:06,317 --> 01:46:08,286
years, 26 through 27. Then we

3081
01:46:08,286 --> 01:46:09,287
will now when bring their a

3082
01:46:09,287 --> 01:46:10,922
proposal forward every year,

3083
01:46:10,922 --> 01:46:11,622
that would be the rate that

3084
01:46:11,622 --> 01:46:15,222
would win would be when we

3085
01:46:15,627 --> 01:46:16,694
would start pass through. And

3086
01:46:16,694 --> 01:46:20,265
and to your point, I think we

3087
01:46:20,265 --> 01:46:20,932
are very cognizant and

3088
01:46:20,932 --> 01:46:22,233
sensitive to, you know, the

3089
01:46:22,233 --> 01:46:24,368
rate increases and the

3090
01:46:24,368 --> 01:46:24,969
impacts. There's a couple ways

3091
01:46:24,969 --> 01:46:26,704
that through the water

3092
01:46:26,704 --> 01:46:29,704
department, we try really hard

3093
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:31,776
to assist. One is we have very

3094
01:46:31,776 --> 01:46:32,944
robust water conservation

3095
01:46:32,944 --> 01:46:33,678
program. So if there's many

3096
01:46:33,678 --> 01:46:36,780
programs and assistance that's

3097
01:46:39,417 --> 01:46:40,850
free. Call send us an e-mail.

3098
01:46:40,850 --> 01:46:40,752
Let us know that you would

3099
01:46:40,752 --> 01:46:42,187
like an audit will come out

3100
01:46:42,187 --> 01:46:43,320
and do a free audit and help.

3101
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:43,989
If there's any way we can help

3102
01:46:43,989 --> 01:46:45,657
you reduce your water use,

3103
01:46:45,657 --> 01:46:46,357
which would then reduce your

3104
01:46:46,357 --> 01:46:49,627
bill. We're there for you to

3105
01:46:49,627 --> 01:46:51,429
help you do that. We also have

3106
01:46:51,429 --> 01:46:54,432
our h 2 a program. It's our

3107
01:46:54,432 --> 01:46:55,634
health help to others program,

3108
01:46:55,634 --> 01:46:57,936
which is also available for

3109
01:46:57,936 --> 01:46:59,404
those with certain income

3110
01:46:59,404 --> 01:47:00,805
requirements. And that is

3111
01:47:00,805 --> 01:47:03,805
available to help assist our

3112
01:47:04,475 --> 01:47:05,177
customers as was laid out by

3113
01:47:05,177 --> 01:47:06,545
before by Prop to a team. We

3114
01:47:06,545 --> 01:47:09,545
are unable to actually truly

3115
01:47:09,647 --> 01:47:12,647
print tap, propose a lifeline

3116
01:47:13,452 --> 01:47:16,555
rate. But what we can do is

3117
01:47:16,555 --> 01:47:18,657
through using our revenue that

3118
01:47:18,657 --> 01:47:20,125
we generate through cell phone

3119
01:47:20,125 --> 01:47:22,427
cell phone towers. We are able

3120
01:47:22,427 --> 01:47:23,195
to offer great assistance to

3121
01:47:23,195 --> 01:47:25,595
those that qualify through

3122
01:47:27,332 --> 01:47:29,234
that program. So both of those

3123
01:47:29,234 --> 01:47:30,469
are things that we do to

3124
01:47:30,469 --> 01:47:32,270
provide to our customers so

3125
01:47:32,270 --> 01:47:33,472
that we can help them as much

3126
01:47:33,472 --> 01:47:34,206
as possible with their rates.

3127
01:47:34,206 --> 01:47:35,374
Because we understand that any

3128
01:47:35,374 --> 01:47:38,374
increase is an impact. All

3129
01:47:42,247 --> 01:47:42,915
right. Thank you so much.

3130
01:47:42,915 --> 01:47:44,616
>> and at the risk of being

3131
01:47:44,616 --> 01:47:45,350
repetitive because you

3132
01:47:45,350 --> 01:47:46,170
mentioned it multiple times in

3133
01:47:46,170 --> 01:47:48,417
your presentation and it's

3134
01:47:48,887 --> 01:47:49,988
come up on the dance as well.

3135
01:47:49,988 --> 01:47:51,824
Could, but because it's a

3136
01:47:51,824 --> 01:47:52,390
common question because we're

3137
01:47:52,390 --> 01:47:52,991
gonna be having this

3138
01:47:52,991 --> 01:47:54,660
discussion for the next

3139
01:47:54,660 --> 01:47:55,360
several years as rates

3140
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:58,597
continue to climb in fact, it

3141
01:47:58,597 --> 01:47:59,665
was public comment. I think

3142
01:47:59,665 --> 01:48:00,532
it's worth speaking to why it

3143
01:48:00,532 --> 01:48:04,303
is that we rates go up. Even

3144
01:48:04,303 --> 01:48:06,638
when people use less water. My

3145
01:48:06,638 --> 01:48:07,339
understanding, correct that it

3146
01:48:07,339 --> 01:48:08,390
is because we have this giant

3147
01:48:08,390 --> 01:48:09,941
physical plant throughout

3148
01:48:09,941 --> 01:48:11,277
Sonoma County and the city of

3149
01:48:11,277 --> 01:48:11,977
Santa Rosa. We've got to see

3150
01:48:11,977 --> 01:48:13,579
huge physical infrastructure

3151
01:48:13,579 --> 01:48:16,579
that provides water and that

3152
01:48:17,315 --> 01:48:17,950
has to be maintained. And in

3153
01:48:17,950 --> 01:48:19,185
essence, what people are

3154
01:48:19,185 --> 01:48:20,152
paying for when they pay water

3155
01:48:20,152 --> 01:48:20,719
bills is not for the water

3156
01:48:20,719 --> 01:48:23,119
itself. It's for the

3157
01:48:24,423 --> 01:48:25,624
maintenance of that plant.

3158
01:48:25,624 --> 01:48:27,392
>> Thank you, Mayor Sapp.

3159
01:48:27,392 --> 01:48:28,494
That's a great question. And

3160
01:48:28,494 --> 01:48:33,294
and and it is one of the most

3161
01:48:34,660 --> 01:48:34,999
difficult with trying to make

3162
01:48:34,999 --> 01:48:36,969
sure Iran educate and provide

3163
01:48:36,969 --> 01:48:39,369
information related to water.

3164
01:48:40,106 --> 01:48:42,700
Use efficiency and why we do

3165
01:48:42,700 --> 01:48:44,944
it versus when you sell less

3166
01:48:44,944 --> 01:48:45,945
water. I think I think water

3167
01:48:45,945 --> 01:48:46,646
agencies are in the on the

3168
01:48:46,646 --> 01:48:48,347
only business that I know of

3169
01:48:48,347 --> 01:48:50,747
that actually are encouraging

3170
01:48:51,116 --> 01:48:51,884
their customers to use less of

3171
01:48:51,884 --> 01:48:53,719
their product. And and we

3172
01:48:53,719 --> 01:48:54,887
continue to have cost and cost

3173
01:48:54,887 --> 01:48:56,550
and increase. And the reason

3174
01:48:56,550 --> 01:48:57,890
why we do that is because we

3175
01:48:57,890 --> 01:49:00,920
really look at water use

3176
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:02,160
efficiency as a water supply

3177
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,564
perspective. And so if we were

3178
01:49:04,564 --> 01:49:06,465
not implementing water, use

3179
01:49:06,465 --> 01:49:07,166
efficiency programs, not only

3180
01:49:07,166 --> 01:49:07,834
would we have to maintain the

3181
01:49:07,834 --> 01:49:10,102
system that we're currently

3182
01:49:10,102 --> 01:49:12,238
maintaining right now, but it

3183
01:49:12,238 --> 01:49:14,107
would be even more expensive

3184
01:49:14,107 --> 01:49:15,740
rates would be incredibly

3185
01:49:15,740 --> 01:49:17,410
higher because we'd have to be

3186
01:49:17,410 --> 01:49:20,246
building more water supply and

3187
01:49:20,246 --> 01:49:22,646
more waste, water capacity.

3188
01:49:22,681 --> 01:49:26,853
And so by not doing that by

3189
01:49:26,853 --> 01:49:28,855
offering programs that more

3190
01:49:28,855 --> 01:49:29,521
cost effective than what it

3191
01:49:29,521 --> 01:49:30,857
costs St, they're purchased

3192
01:49:30,857 --> 01:49:31,857
the lot next. Increment of

3193
01:49:31,857 --> 01:49:33,893
water supply or build the next

3194
01:49:33,893 --> 01:49:35,940
increment of wastewater

3195
01:49:35,940 --> 01:49:35,762
capacity. Water use

3196
01:49:35,762 --> 01:49:38,130
efficiency, reduces both of

3197
01:49:38,130 --> 01:49:40,332
those. So it actually in the

3198
01:49:40,332 --> 01:49:41,967
long term makes the rates much

3199
01:49:41,967 --> 01:49:44,470
less expensive than if we

3200
01:49:44,470 --> 01:49:45,371
weren't implementing water.

3201
01:49:45,371 --> 01:49:45,939
Use efficiency. So we

3202
01:49:45,939 --> 01:49:47,939
understand that that

3203
01:49:48,341 --> 01:49:49,209
short-term impact does happen

3204
01:49:49,209 --> 01:49:50,910
by reducing water use. We we

3205
01:49:50,910 --> 01:49:53,278
still have our same fixed

3206
01:49:53,278 --> 01:49:54,580
costs. But in the long term,

3207
01:49:54,580 --> 01:49:55,280
it's keeping the rates much

3208
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:55,949
less than they would be if we

3209
01:49:55,949 --> 01:49:57,949
weren't implementing water,

3210
01:49:59,719 --> 01:50:00,353
use efficiency.

3211
01:50:00,353 --> 01:50:01,870
>> Thank you my recalling

3212
01:50:01,870 --> 01:50:02,822
correctly that one of the

3213
01:50:02,822 --> 01:50:03,890
slides showed that even with

3214
01:50:03,890 --> 01:50:04,524
these increases, we are still

3215
01:50:04,524 --> 01:50:08,124
in the bottom half of the

3216
01:50:09,563 --> 01:50:11,963
regional water, water rates.

3217
01:50:12,532 --> 01:50:13,233
>> Yes, we did work MR.

3218
01:50:13,233 --> 01:50:15,633
Hildebrand, he analysis. And

3219
01:50:16,736 --> 01:50:18,638
as you can see, we are still

3220
01:50:18,638 --> 01:50:19,272
on the lower half rates in

3221
01:50:19,272 --> 01:50:22,272
this area. And again, we

3222
01:50:22,842 --> 01:50:24,100
don't. As was pointed out

3223
01:50:24,100 --> 01:50:26,913
before, it is a data point.

3224
01:50:26,913 --> 01:50:27,614
It's not what drives our

3225
01:50:27,614 --> 01:50:28,348
rates, but it does just show

3226
01:50:28,348 --> 01:50:31,918
you where we stack up compared

3227
01:50:31,918 --> 01:50:33,753
to others.

3228
01:50:33,753 --> 01:50:34,955
>> And then you also mentioned

3229
01:50:34,955 --> 01:50:36,155
the value of water campaign.

3230
01:50:36,155 --> 01:50:39,155
And that's why that campaign

3231
01:50:39,693 --> 01:50:40,761
is so important as well as

3232
01:50:40,761 --> 01:50:41,728
This conversation right here

3233
01:50:41,728 --> 01:50:42,929
because people have already

3234
01:50:42,929 --> 01:50:43,530
people in recent years have

3235
01:50:43,530 --> 01:50:44,197
been hearing about the

3236
01:50:44,197 --> 01:50:46,133
increase in water rates and

3237
01:50:46,133 --> 01:50:46,833
the wastewater rates.

3238
01:50:46,833 --> 01:50:47,400
Unfortunately, they're gonna

3239
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:48,680
continue to hear that

3240
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:50,871
conversation in the in the

3241
01:50:50,871 --> 01:50:51,638
years to come. But the context

3242
01:50:51,638 --> 01:50:54,341
is that the rates are low from

3243
01:50:54,341 --> 01:50:55,509
a regional perspective and

3244
01:50:55,509 --> 01:50:58,378
they could be a lot higher if

3245
01:50:58,378 --> 01:50:59,120
the city and the county we're

3246
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:00,347
taking the steps they are

3247
01:51:00,347 --> 01:51:01,215
right now to make sure that

3248
01:51:01,215 --> 01:51:01,915
maintaining our physical plant

3249
01:51:01,915 --> 01:51:03,917
and delivering water with the

3250
01:51:03,917 --> 01:51:06,317
infrastructure that we have.

3251
01:51:08,355 --> 01:51:08,989
That is correct. Well, spent.

3252
01:51:08,989 --> 01:51:09,722
Thank you. And with that,

3253
01:51:09,722 --> 01:51:12,722
we're going to officially open

3254
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:14,270
our public hearing. Our public

3255
01:51:14,270 --> 01:51:14,828
protest hearing. And that

3256
01:51:14,828 --> 01:51:15,729
requires me to read a little

3257
01:51:15,729 --> 01:51:19,329
bit of a statement before we

3258
01:51:19,566 --> 01:51:20,234
actually start public comment

3259
01:51:20,234 --> 01:51:22,569
because we are going public

3260
01:51:22,569 --> 01:51:24,672
comment. But I do want to

3261
01:51:24,672 --> 01:51:26,640
remind everyone as as Ms Burke

3262
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:28,609
did not too long ago that

3263
01:51:28,609 --> 01:51:29,810
there's still time to file a

3264
01:51:29,810 --> 01:51:30,511
written protest against the

3265
01:51:30,511 --> 01:51:31,178
proposed increases to potable

3266
01:51:31,178 --> 01:51:33,790
water or recycled water and

3267
01:51:33,790 --> 01:51:33,981
waste raise water rates. But

3268
01:51:33,981 --> 01:51:36,830
you must deliver your written

3269
01:51:36,830 --> 01:51:36,850
protest. Emphasis on written

3270
01:51:36,850 --> 01:51:40,450
to the city clerk before the

3271
01:51:40,787 --> 01:51:43,570
close of this public hearing

3272
01:51:43,570 --> 01:51:44,291
only written protests not or

3273
01:51:44,291 --> 01:51:44,958
oral comments to meet the

3274
01:51:44,958 --> 01:51:45,526
requirements for a valid

3275
01:51:45,526 --> 01:51:46,159
written protest to be

3276
01:51:46,159 --> 01:51:49,159
considered as part of the

3277
01:51:49,397 --> 01:51:52,397
written protest to count. And

3278
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:54,968
let's see. At looking at

3279
01:51:54,968 --> 01:51:55,636
Assistant City attorney. Do

3280
01:51:55,636 --> 01:51:56,437
need to read the end of the

3281
01:51:56,437 --> 01:52:00,370
specifics as well? Or was that

3282
01:52:00,941 --> 01:52:01,742
sufficient?

3283
01:52:01,742 --> 01:52:02,309
>> you could please provide

3284
01:52:02,309 --> 01:52:04,709
the specific so that

3285
01:52:04,812 --> 01:52:05,513
everyone's 100% clear.

3286
01:52:05,513 --> 01:52:08,513
>> All right. We're gonna go

3287
01:52:08,916 --> 01:52:09,550
for to do Stay with me. The

3288
01:52:09,550 --> 01:52:11,950
requirements for a valid

3289
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:12,753
written protest under pro prop

3290
01:52:12,753 --> 01:52:13,354
addition to 18 were mailed to

3291
01:52:13,354 --> 01:52:15,754
all the city's utility

3292
01:52:16,570 --> 01:52:17,491
customers customers in

3293
01:52:17,491 --> 01:52:18,292
JANUARY. There are additional

3294
01:52:18,292 --> 01:52:19,327
copies of that notice

3295
01:52:19,327 --> 01:52:21,561
available on the city's

3296
01:52:21,561 --> 01:52:24,799
website at sr City Dot Org.

3297
01:52:24,799 --> 01:52:26,167
Backslash water rates 2025.

3298
01:52:26,167 --> 01:52:27,902
Only written protests which

3299
01:52:27,902 --> 01:52:29,360
include the assessor's parcel

3300
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:30,370
number or street address of

3301
01:52:30,370 --> 01:52:32,437
the property receiving water

3302
01:52:32,940 --> 01:52:33,607
or cities or or sewer service.

3303
01:52:33,607 --> 01:52:36,607
Are signed by the property

3304
01:52:37,450 --> 01:52:39,800
owners or tenants and received

3305
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:40,800
by the clerk before the close

3306
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:40,982
of the public hearing will be

3307
01:52:40,982 --> 01:52:43,250
counted to determine whether

3308
01:52:43,250 --> 01:52:45,353
or not there is a majority

3309
01:52:45,353 --> 01:52:47,388
protest. The proposed proposed

3310
01:52:47,388 --> 01:52:49,223
rate increases. A majority

3311
01:52:49,223 --> 01:52:51,125
protest under proposition to

3312
01:52:51,125 --> 01:52:52,493
18 recur. If 29,236 valid

3313
01:52:52,493 --> 01:52:53,494
written protest are filed with

3314
01:52:53,494 --> 01:52:57,940
the clerk before the close of

3315
01:52:57,265 --> 01:52:57,998
the public hearing. In

3316
01:52:57,998 --> 01:52:59,600
addition, public hearings also

3317
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:01,235
for any comments on the

3318
01:53:01,235 --> 01:53:01,870
introduction of the ordinance

3319
01:53:01,870 --> 01:53:04,270
amending title 14 of the

3320
01:53:05,340 --> 01:53:06,574
Center City Code. With that,

3321
01:53:06,574 --> 01:53:07,241
we will now open. The public

3322
01:53:07,241 --> 01:53:09,677
hearing will do this again.

3323
01:53:09,677 --> 01:53:12,677
Just for good measure. And

3324
01:53:17,685 --> 01:53:18,486
Dwayne, you are up.

3325
01:53:18,486 --> 01:53:20,588
>> Hello, my name is Dwayne

3326
01:53:20,588 --> 01:53:23,391
Wit. I'm from Roseland once

3327
01:53:23,391 --> 01:53:24,859
again. I caution that I'm a

3328
01:53:24,859 --> 01:53:26,628
member of the Board of Public

3329
01:53:26,628 --> 01:53:29,564
Utilities and my comments made

3330
01:53:29,564 --> 01:53:30,465
tonight are my own personal

3331
01:53:30,465 --> 01:53:32,865
private view after discussion

3332
01:53:34,836 --> 01:53:35,402
with Santa Rosa attorney to

3333
01:53:35,402 --> 01:53:38,402
make sure I handle it

3334
01:53:38,907 --> 01:53:39,975
correctly. And also to

3335
01:53:39,975 --> 01:53:40,642
represent people in my

3336
01:53:40,642 --> 01:53:42,610
community that I've talked

3337
01:53:42,610 --> 01:53:45,647
with about this. A concern. If

3338
01:53:45,647 --> 01:53:48,283
you go back to slide 17 18 and

3339
01:53:48,283 --> 01:53:51,283
put that. People in my

3340
01:53:51,386 --> 01:53:52,870
community. Ask me. Are these

3341
01:53:52,870 --> 01:53:54,487
discussions about our monthly

3342
01:53:55,824 --> 01:53:57,558
rates? Annual rates because

3343
01:53:57,558 --> 01:54:01,158
it's not on what they could

3344
01:54:02,697 --> 01:54:05,333
see. I am a renter. And it's

3345
01:54:05,333 --> 01:54:08,933
factored into my rent. So I'm

3346
01:54:09,804 --> 01:54:10,505
hoping that you will. Clarify

3347
01:54:10,505 --> 01:54:12,905
whether that impact analysis

3348
01:54:15,344 --> 01:54:17,913
and those totals. And that a

3349
01:54:17,913 --> 01:54:20,649
person, low water use rain.

3350
01:54:20,649 --> 01:54:22,649
He's only spending 133,000.

3351
01:54:25,988 --> 01:54:28,988
Give me $133. Per year month.

3352
01:54:29,157 --> 01:54:32,157
I basically. Wanted to thank

3353
01:54:32,961 --> 01:54:35,361
Mayer staff. Clarified this

3354
01:54:37,366 --> 01:54:38,000
issue of even though we'll

3355
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,100
keep conserving. And even

3356
01:54:40,100 --> 01:54:42,237
though will keep using less.

3357
01:54:42,237 --> 01:54:43,404
We'll keep a more. And that's

3358
01:54:43,404 --> 01:54:45,607
just the nature of the game.

3359
01:54:45,607 --> 01:54:48,143
According to the staff for

3360
01:54:48,143 --> 01:54:51,143
Santa Rosa Water that the

3361
01:54:51,647 --> 01:54:55,247
costs will continue to go up.

3362
01:54:55,817 --> 01:54:56,518
And hopefully find ways to.

3363
01:54:56,518 --> 01:54:59,518
Decrease the amount of water

3364
01:54:59,922 --> 01:55:02,157
that is used. This is a good

3365
01:55:02,157 --> 01:55:03,859
water year. We've got lots of

3366
01:55:03,859 --> 01:55:05,327
extra water and I do hope that

3367
01:55:05,327 --> 01:55:07,229
will find ways in which we can

3368
01:55:07,229 --> 01:55:08,563
save more of the water. So

3369
01:55:08,563 --> 01:55:11,199
there will be available to us

3370
01:55:11,199 --> 01:55:12,601
during the dry years. Folks

3371
01:55:12,601 --> 01:55:15,601
will be speaking today. Thank

3372
01:55:15,837 --> 01:55:19,437
you for your time. Thank you,

3373
01:55:20,109 --> 01:55:20,609
MR. Do it.

3374
01:55:20,609 --> 01:55:22,609
>> Quick point of

3375
01:55:23,312 --> 01:55:23,979
clarification there. That is.

3376
01:55:23,979 --> 01:55:24,680
That is something that that

3377
01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:25,280
the the audience should know

3378
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:27,216
where the figures we're

3379
01:55:27,216 --> 01:55:27,717
looking at with a monthly or

3380
01:55:27,717 --> 01:55:28,417
annual.

3381
01:55:28,417 --> 01:55:31,417
>> their monthly. So it's per

3382
01:55:32,210 --> 01:55:33,289
billing, period.

3383
01:55:33,289 --> 01:55:35,124
>> Perfect. All right. So just

3384
01:55:35,124 --> 01:55:37,293
to reiterate that we're

3385
01:55:37,293 --> 01:55:39,328
looking at increases of summer

3386
01:55:39,328 --> 01:55:40,290
in $7.24 dollars per for

3387
01:55:40,290 --> 01:55:41,464
residential users, depending

3388
01:55:41,464 --> 01:55:42,163
on what kind of water they had

3389
01:55:42,163 --> 01:55:45,163
both for water and wastewater

3390
01:55:48,671 --> 01:55:49,739
rates.

3391
01:55:49,739 --> 01:55:51,974
>> is correct that it's per

3392
01:55:51,974 --> 01:55:52,675
per billing period. In monthly

3393
01:55:52,675 --> 01:55:55,675
bill. Yes, perfect. Thank you

3394
01:55:56,450 --> 01:55:57,460
for that clarification.

3395
01:55:57,460 --> 01:55:57,814
Looking into the public, are

3396
01:55:57,814 --> 01:55:58,514
there any other members of the

3397
01:55:58,514 --> 01:56:02,114
public who would like to make

3398
01:56:02,985 --> 01:56:03,619
comment on this item?

3399
01:56:03,619 --> 01:56:06,190
>> Seeing none. Close the

3400
01:56:07,957 --> 01:56:08,657
public hearing. The public

3401
01:56:08,657 --> 01:56:09,959
hearing is now closed. Thanks

3402
01:56:09,959 --> 01:56:11,927
to everyone for their

3403
01:56:11,927 --> 01:56:13,927
participation. MADAM City

3404
01:56:14,300 --> 01:56:15,964
clerk, can you tell us if

3405
01:56:15,964 --> 01:56:17,166
there is a majority protest

3406
01:56:17,166 --> 01:56:17,867
against the proposed increases

3407
01:56:17,867 --> 01:56:21,571
and do we need a brief recess

3408
01:56:21,571 --> 01:56:22,905
to determine that?

3409
01:56:22,905 --> 01:56:24,741
>> I can just confirm with our

3410
01:56:24,741 --> 01:56:26,743
administrator, the top of the

3411
01:56:26,743 --> 01:56:27,643
well, have we received any

3412
01:56:27,643 --> 01:56:28,344
additional protests since you

3413
01:56:28,344 --> 01:56:32,181
had to me the folder with the

3414
01:56:32,181 --> 01:56:34,581
remaining protests? Thank you.

3415
01:56:36,850 --> 01:56:39,220
Chair. So mayor, the city

3416
01:56:39,220 --> 01:56:39,956
clerk's office has received

3417
01:56:39,956 --> 01:56:41,956
163 written protest with

3418
01:56:42,592 --> 01:56:43,293
regard to the proposed rate

3419
01:56:43,293 --> 01:56:43,994
increases by the close of the

3420
01:56:43,994 --> 01:56:46,994
public meeting or the public

3421
01:56:48,965 --> 01:56:49,965
hearing. Which appear to be

3422
01:56:49,965 --> 01:56:52,335
valid written protest because

3423
01:56:52,335 --> 01:56:54,103
there are 58,470 parcel

3424
01:56:54,103 --> 01:56:56,273
subject to the proposed rate

3425
01:56:56,273 --> 01:56:57,807
increases. It can be clearly

3426
01:56:57,807 --> 01:56:58,542
seen that the number of

3427
01:56:58,542 --> 01:57:00,242
protests received is less than

3428
01:57:00,242 --> 01:57:01,277
a majority of the parcels.

3429
01:57:01,277 --> 01:57:04,877
That would be subject to the

3430
01:57:04,948 --> 01:57:05,649
proposed rate increases,

3431
01:57:05,649 --> 01:57:06,917
therefore, a majority protest

3432
01:57:06,917 --> 01:57:07,784
has not been filed in the

3433
01:57:07,784 --> 01:57:10,184
council MAY consider adoption

3434
01:57:13,489 --> 01:57:14,190
of the proposed rate changes.

3435
01:57:14,190 --> 01:57:17,190
>> Thank you bringing it back

3436
01:57:17,894 --> 01:57:20,894
to council for final comments.

3437
01:57:33,176 --> 01:57:35,576
Seeing none MISS Fleming.

3438
01:57:37,180 --> 01:57:39,580
>> There's 2 actions here. So

3439
01:57:40,350 --> 01:57:41,510
go with the first one and move

3440
01:57:41,510 --> 01:57:41,751

02:01:11,997 --> 02:01:13,898
city chapter code and council

3543
02:01:13,898 --> 02:01:14,600
policy. 6 to rename the Board

3544
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:17,102
of Community Services to the

3545
02:01:17,102 --> 02:01:18,300
recreation and Parks board.

3546
02:01:18,300 --> 02:01:18,737
And we have other

3547
02:01:18,737 --> 02:01:21,137
administrative updates will be

3548
02:01:22,274 --> 02:01:24,760
presenting tonight as well.

3549
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:25,577
And just to back up a bit, we

3550
02:01:25,577 --> 02:01:27,746
started this journey with one

3551
02:01:27,746 --> 02:01:29,746
seemingly simple question.

3552
02:01:29,815 --> 02:01:32,815
White is a seven-member board,

3553
02:01:34,530 --> 02:01:34,720
you know, five-member court.

3554
02:01:34,720 --> 02:01:35,387
And with that, I'll turn it

3555
02:01:35,387 --> 02:01:36,550
over, Emily. She's going to

3556
02:01:36,550 --> 02:01:37,522
tell you what the answer is

3557
02:01:37,522 --> 02:01:40,626
and what our proposal is for

3558
02:01:40,626 --> 02:01:42,626
recommended updates. Thank

3559
02:01:42,928 --> 02:01:45,928
you, Jen. Good evening. Mayor

3560
02:01:49,167 --> 02:01:50,690
says. There are

3561
02:01:50,690 --> 02:01:50,769
councilmembers. I'm Emily and

3562
02:01:50,769 --> 02:01:51,937
assistant parks planner with

3563
02:01:51,937 --> 02:01:52,838
the recreation and Parks

3564
02:01:52,838 --> 02:01:54,838
Department.

3565
02:01:54,873 --> 02:01:56,142
>> And I'm here today to

3566
02:01:56,142 --> 02:01:57,243
present administrative changes

3567
02:01:57,243 --> 02:02:00,243
to city Code. Chapter 2 Dash 4

3568
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:03,680
Board of Community Services.

3569
02:02:05,117 --> 02:02:05,885
In 1976. City Council adopt

3570
02:02:05,885 --> 02:02:07,885
did ordinance 18. 32

3571
02:02:08,587 --> 02:02:09,755
establishing the Board of

3572
02:02:09,755 --> 02:02:10,589
Community Services to advise

3573
02:02:10,589 --> 02:02:12,525
Council and every aspect of

3574
02:02:12,525 --> 02:02:15,525
the delivery of services to

3575
02:02:15,661 --> 02:02:17,596
the citizens of Santa Rosa.

3576
02:02:17,596 --> 02:02:18,231
Council did this by

3577
02:02:18,231 --> 02:02:20,132
consolidating 2 advisory

3578
02:02:20,132 --> 02:02:21,234
bodies. The Recreation and

3579
02:02:21,234 --> 02:02:23,634
Parks Commission and the

3580
02:02:23,970 --> 02:02:25,271
Community Relations Commission

3581
02:02:25,271 --> 02:02:26,380
as well as their missions

3582
02:02:26,380 --> 02:02:29,380
roles and powers and duties

3583
02:02:29,709 --> 02:02:31,777
into one advisory body. There

3584
02:02:31,777 --> 02:02:33,746
have been, as you can see,

3585
02:02:33,746 --> 02:02:34,480
appear for amendments to city

3586
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:36,880
Code. Chapter 2, Dash 4 since

3587
02:02:38,584 --> 02:02:40,153
1976. The one that brings me

3588
02:02:40,153 --> 02:02:43,753
or us before you today is

3589
02:02:43,889 --> 02:02:45,889
ordinance. 35 79 past in 2002.

3590
02:02:48,194 --> 02:02:48,928
In 2002, there are too high

3591
02:02:48,928 --> 02:02:49,862
quality candidates who applied

3592
02:02:49,862 --> 02:02:52,665
for one vacancy on the board

3593
02:02:52,665 --> 02:02:53,833
of Community Services. And

3594
02:02:53,833 --> 02:02:54,567
Council chose to appoint both

3595
02:02:54,567 --> 02:02:57,567
of those candidates and amend

3596
02:02:57,804 --> 02:03:00,940
the city code to increase the

3597
02:03:00,940 --> 02:03:02,175
number of board members from 7

3598
02:03:02,175 --> 02:03:04,210
to 8 also to increase the

3599
02:03:04,210 --> 02:03:07,210
number of members needed to

3600
02:03:08,314 --> 02:03:10,249
achieve a quorum from 5.45?

3601
02:03:10,249 --> 02:03:11,584
The board had 8 serving

3602
02:03:11,584 --> 02:03:13,984
members for 4 years from 2002

3603
02:03:16,856 --> 02:03:17,557
to 2006. In 2006, 1 of those

3604
02:03:17,557 --> 02:03:19,759
members resigned leaving the

3605
02:03:19,759 --> 02:03:22,759
board of the 7 members. The

3606
02:03:23,363 --> 02:03:25,365
board has functioned with 7

3607
02:03:25,365 --> 02:03:25,999
appointed members 5 needed for

3608
02:03:25,999 --> 02:03:28,999
a quorum for the past 19

3609
02:03:31,905 --> 02:03:32,605
years. So the current city

3610
02:03:32,605 --> 02:03:35,605
code requires that the Board

3611
02:03:36,309 --> 02:03:36,943
of Community Services have 8

3612
02:03:36,943 --> 02:03:39,312
members with each member

3613
02:03:39,312 --> 02:03:40,800
appointed by the full Council.

3614
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,480
5 members again, are required

3615
02:03:44,284 --> 02:03:46,653
to constitute a quorum. Board

3616
02:03:46,653 --> 02:03:47,320
members serve for four-year

3617
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:47,987
terms irrespective of their

3618
02:03:47,987 --> 02:03:49,987
appointing counsel members

3619
02:03:52,192 --> 02:03:52,925
term. And board members can be

3620
02:03:52,925 --> 02:03:55,325
removed by 4 affirmative votes

3621
02:03:56,696 --> 02:03:57,397
Council. This is what the code

3622
02:03:57,397 --> 02:04:01,597
says, but this is not how the

3623
02:04:02,569 --> 02:04:03,704
board functions. And that is

3624
02:04:03,704 --> 02:04:04,537
because the requirements of

3625
02:04:04,537 --> 02:04:08,108
city code do not align with

3626
02:04:08,108 --> 02:04:08,742
either the city charter or

3627
02:04:08,742 --> 02:04:09,342
with council policy. 6

3628
02:04:09,342 --> 02:04:11,342
appointments to boards,

3629
02:04:12,446 --> 02:04:14,446
commissions and committees.

3630
02:04:15,182 --> 02:04:17,117
Needing to have 5 of 7 board

3631
02:04:17,117 --> 02:04:18,352
members present places, a

3632
02:04:18,352 --> 02:04:20,120
higher burden on each of your

3633
02:04:20,120 --> 02:04:20,754
appointees to attend each and

3634
02:04:20,754 --> 02:04:23,754
every meeting in order to

3635
02:04:25,192 --> 02:04:27,594
achieve that And often results

3636
02:04:27,594 --> 02:04:28,295
in meeting cancellation and or

3637
02:04:28,295 --> 02:04:29,290
not being able to get through

3638
02:04:29,290 --> 02:04:31,131
the full agenda because of the

3639
02:04:31,131 --> 02:04:34,435
lack of quorum. It also places

3640
02:04:34,435 --> 02:04:35,680
a higher burden on staff who

3641
02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:35,768
poured an 8 organize and

3642
02:04:35,768 --> 02:04:38,168
participate in these monthly

3643
02:04:39,106 --> 02:04:40,507
meetings. For these reasons,

3644
02:04:40,507 --> 02:04:41,375
staff recommended to the board

3645
02:04:41,375 --> 02:04:41,875
that they form a subcommittee

3646
02:04:41,875 --> 02:04:43,875
to address these

3647
02:04:46,580 --> 02:04:47,314
discrepancies. The board

3648
02:04:47,314 --> 02:04:48,150
formed a three-member

3649
02:04:48,150 --> 02:04:49,116
ordinance Sub committee which

3650
02:04:49,116 --> 02:04:51,484
met 8 times over the course of

3651
02:04:51,484 --> 02:04:52,119
2 years. They created

3652
02:04:52,119 --> 02:04:52,786
recommendations to update

3653
02:04:52,786 --> 02:04:55,786
their ordinance as well as

3654
02:04:56,889 --> 02:04:59,159
their bylaws. So were here

3655
02:04:59,159 --> 02:05:00,561
before you to accomplish 3

3656
02:05:00,561 --> 02:05:02,296
things. The first is to re

3657
02:05:02,296 --> 02:05:04,498
title City Code. Chapter 2

3658
02:05:04,498 --> 02:05:06,433
Dash 4 from Board of Community

3659
02:05:06,433 --> 02:05:08,535
Services to the Recreation and

3660
02:05:08,535 --> 02:05:10,700
Parks board. Second is to

3661
02:05:10,700 --> 02:05:10,905
amend the city code to align

3662
02:05:10,905 --> 02:05:13,305
with city Charter council

3663
02:05:15,976 --> 02:05:17,545
policy. 6. And 3rd is replace

3664
02:05:17,545 --> 02:05:18,245
the name Board of Community

3665
02:05:18,245 --> 02:05:18,979
Services with Recreation and

3666
02:05:18,979 --> 02:05:21,979
Parks Board in Council policy.

3667
02:05:24,819 --> 02:05:27,121
6. So there are 7 areas of

3668
02:05:27,121 --> 02:05:27,821
change that need to happen or

3669
02:05:27,821 --> 02:05:28,422
proposed to happen. The city

3670
02:05:28,422 --> 02:05:30,822
code which in Milwaukee

3671
02:05:33,394 --> 02:05:34,595
through quickly. The first is

3672
02:05:34,595 --> 02:05:35,663
on the board is recommending

3673
02:05:35,663 --> 02:05:36,631
changing their name from the

3674
02:05:36,631 --> 02:05:38,399
Board of Community Services to

3675
02:05:38,399 --> 02:05:41,399
the Recreation and Parks board

3676
02:05:41,736 --> 02:05:45,720
with the intent of having a

3677
02:05:45,720 --> 02:05:47,740
name reflects the name of body

3678
02:05:47,740 --> 02:05:49,277
that they the department, they

3679
02:05:49,277 --> 02:05:50,377
advise but also to make the

3680
02:05:50,377 --> 02:05:51,780
name more applicable to the

3681
02:05:51,780 --> 02:05:54,780
public and accessible to the

3682
02:05:56,717 --> 02:05:57,718
public. Second, the board

3683
02:05:57,718 --> 02:05:59,454
recommends reducing the number

3684
02:05:59,454 --> 02:06:01,422
of members from 8 to 7 to

3685
02:06:01,422 --> 02:06:04,291
align with the number of

3686
02:06:04,291 --> 02:06:05,292
council members as well as

3687
02:06:05,292 --> 02:06:08,892
what state and in the Charter

3688
02:06:09,897 --> 02:06:12,297
and council policy. 6. 3rd,

3689
02:06:12,734 --> 02:06:14,902
the board recommends reduced

3690
02:06:14,902 --> 02:06:16,904
changing the way members are

3691
02:06:16,904 --> 02:06:17,804
appointed from full council

3692
02:06:17,804 --> 02:06:18,639
appointment to individual

3693
02:06:18,639 --> 02:06:19,240
council appointments again in

3694
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:21,640
alignment with the city

3695
02:06:25,130 --> 02:06:25,713
Charter and council policy. 6.

3696
02:06:25,713 --> 02:06:28,490
The board recommends changing

3697
02:06:28,490 --> 02:06:29,249
the way that numbers are

3698
02:06:29,249 --> 02:06:30,919
unmoved from 4 affirmative

3699
02:06:30,919 --> 02:06:32,687
council votes to serving at

3700
02:06:32,687 --> 02:06:33,421
the pleasure of their

3701
02:06:33,421 --> 02:06:34,155
appointing councilmember in

3702
02:06:34,155 --> 02:06:36,555
alignment with council policy.

3703
02:06:40,461 --> 02:06:41,229
6. The board drafted a new

3704
02:06:41,229 --> 02:06:43,629
purpose statement to better

3705
02:06:44,980 --> 02:06:45,967
reflect what it does. The

3706
02:06:45,967 --> 02:06:47,936
purpose goes beyond the old

3707
02:06:47,936 --> 02:06:49,137
purpose to incorporate the

3708
02:06:49,137 --> 02:06:50,138
board's role in public

3709
02:06:50,138 --> 02:06:51,205
engagement as well as

3710
02:06:51,205 --> 02:06:53,205
communication between the

3711
02:06:53,375 --> 02:06:55,775
public the Department and

3712
02:06:55,809 --> 02:06:58,209
council. Related to recreation

3713
02:07:01,583 --> 02:07:03,351
and parks. 6, the board

3714
02:07:03,351 --> 02:07:04,219
recommends reducing the number

3715
02:07:04,219 --> 02:07:07,219
of members needed to achieve

3716
02:07:09,858 --> 02:07:11,893
quorum from 5 to 4. And number

3717
02:07:11,893 --> 02:07:13,270
7, the board recommends

3718
02:07:13,270 --> 02:07:15,630
updating and changing some of

3719
02:07:15,630 --> 02:07:18,300
their powers and duties. So

3720
02:07:18,300 --> 02:07:19,267
focus their work Holy on parks

3721
02:07:19,267 --> 02:07:22,267
and recreation and away from

3722
02:07:22,537 --> 02:07:24,537
community beautification. To

3723
02:07:24,639 --> 02:07:25,640
specify the board's areas of

3724
02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:28,640
oversight to advise and make

3725
02:07:29,111 --> 02:07:29,745
recommendations to council. To

3726
02:07:29,745 --> 02:07:30,345
actively engage with

3727
02:07:30,345 --> 02:07:32,345

>> I have a pretty easy

3789
02:09:40,410 --> 02:09:43,546
question for you. I wanted to

3790
02:09:43,546 --> 02:09:44,513
know why you didn't call it

3791
02:09:44,513 --> 02:09:46,913
the Parks and Recreation

3792
02:09:48,284 --> 02:09:50,319
board. So it was phonetically

3793
02:09:50,319 --> 02:09:53,319
and mine and more consistent

3794
02:09:53,690 --> 02:09:54,357
with what we all know that to

3795
02:09:54,357 --> 02:09:57,957
be. So I'm just curious why

3796
02:10:00,290 --> 02:10:01,960
you decided to flip it.

3797
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:02,931
>> went to align with the name

3798
02:10:02,931 --> 02:10:04,967
of the department and I think

3799
02:10:04,967 --> 02:10:06,903
that was a discussion the

3800
02:10:06,903 --> 02:10:07,470
department was being

3801
02:10:07,470 --> 02:10:08,405
reorganized back as a

3802
02:10:08,405 --> 02:10:09,380
recreation and parks out of

3803
02:10:09,380 --> 02:10:11,380
transportation and public

3804
02:10:11,140 --> 02:10:13,540
works. And community planning

3805
02:10:14,144 --> 02:10:15,311
a So it's just an alignment of

3806
02:10:15,311 --> 02:10:17,711
pure and simple for

3807
02:10:19,449 --> 02:10:20,149
consistency.

3808
02:10:20,149 --> 02:10:20,849
>> That alignment, I'm sorry

3809
02:10:20,849 --> 02:10:23,720
with what we call it in. Our

3810
02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:25,922

3811
02:10:25,922 --> 02:10:27,791

Board or the board of Parks

3946
02:15:30,329 --> 02:15:31,463

02:15:31,463 --> 02:15:33,265
of conversation about that's

3948
02:15:33,265 --> 02:15:33,799

have board of parks, parks and

3955
02:15:55,588 --> 02:15:58,588
recreation. If I MAY ordinance

3956
02:15:58,824 --> 02:16:00,526
that was just introduced. Was

3957
02:16:00,526 --> 02:16:01,930
changing the name of the

3958
02:16:01,930 --> 02:16:03,493
advisory board to the

3959
02:16:05,164 --> 02:16:06,866

3960
02:16:06,866 --> 02:16:07,500
the resolution that follows to

3961
02:16:07,500 --> 02:16:09,900
change the council policy

3962
02:16:10,680 --> 02:16:10,736
should also reflect the change

3963
02:16:10,736 --> 02:16:13,736
to the recreation and parks

3964
02:16:16,342 --> 02:16:17,430
port. As you wish. Thank you

02:16:17,430 --> 02:16:17,944
can the minutes reflect that.

3966
02:16:17,944 --> 02:16:20,412
This all began with a joke by

3967
02:16:20,412 --> 02:16:22,812
Councilmember And thank you,

3968
02:16:23,215 --> 02:16:24,830

>> I just want to say I have

3970
02:16:25,285 --> 02:16:26,719
an extensive history in comedy

3971
02:16:26,719 --> 02:16:29,589
and you guys are the worst

3972
02:16:29,589 --> 02:16:30,255
audience I ever worked in

3973
02:16:30,255 --> 02:16:33,855
front of. We have the vote.

3974
02:16:44,337 --> 02:16:45,772
Please.

3975
02:16:45,772 --> 02:16:46,739
>> So we have a question. We

3976
02:16:46,739 --> 02:16:47,474
have a question as to whether

3977
02:16:47,474 --> 02:16:48,141
we need to open this up for

3978
02:16:48,141 --> 02:16:50,141
discussion, which sincerely

3979
02:16:52,211 --> 02:16:52,913
hoping we might.

3980
02:16:52,913 --> 02:16:53,546
>> I withdraw the motion luge

3981
02:16:53,546 --> 02:16:55,414

3982
02:16:55,414 --> 02:16:56,149
isn't there?

3983
02:16:56,149 --> 02:16:59,749
>> I'm I'm going to follow you

3984
02:17:05,591 --> 02:17:06,759
on this journey. Oh, my gosh.

3985
02:17:06,759 --> 02:17:07,460
All right. We really haven't.

3986
02:17:07,460 --> 02:17:09,610
We really have an issue with

3987
02:17:09,610 --> 02:17:09,696
our with our semantics here.

3988
02:17:09,696 --> 02:17:13,896
Do we need to do we need

3989
02:17:14,401 --> 02:17:15,535
revert to their original form?

3990
02:17:15,535 --> 02:17:16,803
>> I will defer to the chair

3991
02:17:16,803 --> 02:17:19,803
on this pardon me, department

3992
02:17:21,574 --> 02:17:22,876
head or deputy director.

3993
02:17:22,876 --> 02:17:24,210
>> Actually, there was quite a

3994
02:17:24,210 --> 02:17:25,112
bit of conversation at the

3995
02:17:25,112 --> 02:17:28,112
Board of Community Services on

3996
02:17:29,549 --> 02:17:30,951
how it was a. How it would

3997
02:17:30,951 --> 02:17:31,718
read. They originally wanted

3998
02:17:31,718 --> 02:17:33,353
thinking of parks and

3999
02:17:33,353 --> 02:17:36,353
recreation board. And when the

4000
02:17:37,357 --> 02:17:39,459
department kept its name, they

4001
02:17:39,459 --> 02:17:41,930
decided to make this alignment

4002
02:17:41,930 --> 02:17:44,970
and they prefer that it would

4003
02:17:44,970 --> 02:17:45,265
be recreation and parks board

4004
02:17:45,265 --> 02:17:46,766
or the Parks and Recreation

4005
02:17:46,766 --> 02:17:49,200
board clarification would be

4006
02:17:49,200 --> 02:17:49,936
appreciated. So we can clarify

4007
02:17:49,936 --> 02:17:51,971
for our board members with

4008
02:17:51,971 --> 02:17:52,739
respect to them. We're going

4009
02:17:52,739 --> 02:17:55,209
to go with the Parks and

4010
02:17:55,209 --> 02:17:57,209
Recreation board.

4011
02:17:58,780 --> 02:17:58,378
>> That acceptable everybody

4012
02:17:58,378 --> 02:17:59,790
here?

4013
02:17:59,790 --> 02:17:59,780
>> Yes, we just need to make

4014
02:17:59,780 --> 02:18:00,414
certain the ordinance in the

4015
02:18:00,414 --> 02:18:02,414
council policy match.

4016
02:18:15,462 --> 02:18:16,263
>> a great.

4017
02:18:16,263 --> 02:18:18,263
Hear you. That's

4018
02:18:25,272 --> 02:18:26,173
what are.

4019
02:18:26,173 --> 02:18:29,773
>> So if if I'm keeping track

4020
02:18:30,211 --> 02:18:30,845
and I don't know that I am.

4021
02:18:30,845 --> 02:18:34,445
There is there was had a

4022
02:18:34,582 --> 02:18:36,750
motion and a second. And we

4023
02:18:36,750 --> 02:18:37,417
have parks and recreation. I

4024
02:18:37,417 --> 02:18:39,817
don't really remember that

4025
02:18:43,230 --> 02:18:46,230
part. At this point. Average

4026
02:18:47,270 --> 02:18:47,728
today last captured was

4027
02:18:47,728 --> 02:18:49,896
>> resolution of the Council

4028
02:18:49,896 --> 02:18:50,597

with Parks and Recreation's

4036
02:19:07,848 --> 02:19:09,550
board. However, that now does

4037
02:19:09,550 --> 02:19:10,118
not align with the ordinance

4038
02:19:10,118 --> 02:19:10,818
that was previously

4039
02:19:10,818 --> 02:19:11,651
introduced. That was changing

4040
02:19:11,651 --> 02:19:15,189
the name of the book Board,

4041
02:19:15,189 --> 02:19:17,589
too. The Recreation Parks

4042
02:19:20,861 --> 02:19:23,197

4043
02:19:23,197 --> 02:19:24,165
back I don't know that we need

4044
02:19:24,165 --> 02:19:27,165
to redo that. That first

4045
02:19:33,574 --> 02:19:34,374
ordinance to eat it. If you

02:19:34,374 --> 02:19:35,760

come up. And we can all forget

4100
02:21:24,420 --> 02:21:25,154
the last 10 minutes. Hopefully

4101
02:21:25,154 --> 02:21:29,354
we know or done under our gift

4102
02:21:32,828 --> 02:21:34,696
ever. So this finding red, the

4103
02:21:34,696 --> 02:21:35,764
original ordinance just now

4104
02:21:35,764 --> 02:21:36,865
correct. And I seconded that

4105
02:21:36,865 --> 02:21:37,866
original ordinance. So with

4106
02:21:37,866 --> 02:21:39,734
respect to the friendly

4107
02:21:39,734 --> 02:21:40,970
amendment, I think that's not

4108
02:21:40,970 --> 02:21:43,370
necessary unless our assistant

4109
02:21:43,372 --> 02:21:43,772
city attorney says that is our

4110
02:21:43,772 --> 02:21:44,473
city clerk.

4111
02:21:44,473 --> 02:21:47,176
>> MR. Mayor, I did not read

4112
02:21:47,176 --> 02:21:49,411
the original ordinance. I the

4113
02:21:49,411 --> 02:21:51,212

read their original ordinance

4116
02:21:56,318 --> 02:21:57,152
as suggested by staff. Which

4117
02:21:57,152 --> 02:21:59,254
is a resolution of the

4118
02:21:59,254 --> 02:21:59,889

>> Are good with that?

4132
02:22:22,478 --> 02:22:24,412
>> Yes, she went to her first

4133
02:22:24,412 --> 02:22:26,549
motion and so that was the

4134
02:22:26,549 --> 02:22:28,484
correct motion that follows

4135
02:22:28,484 --> 02:22:29,185
the language that's here on

4136
02:22:29,185 --> 02:22:29,918
the resolution before us. And

4137
02:22:29,918 --> 02:22:31,887
so a motion and second, we can

4138
02:22:31,887 --> 02:22:34,887

02:23:32,782 --> 02:23:34,117
that is as well as key.

4161
02:23:34,117 --> 02:23:34,884

4180
02:24:51,495 --> 02:24:53,497
our opportunity to provide the

02:24:54,197 --> 02:24:57,197
the commission, a review of

4183
02:24:57,301 --> 02:24:59,701

4184
02:25:01,438 --> 02:25:02,172

tonight, staff will submit

4191
02:25:12,416 --> 02:25:14,151
those to the state Office of

4192
02:25:14,151 --> 02:25:15,452
Land use and climate

4193
02:25:15,452 --> 02:25:18,880
innovation. And just to let

4194
02:25:18,880 --> 02:25:20,291
you know, the planning

4195
02:25:20,291 --> 02:25:21,891
commission recently reviewed

4196
02:25:21,891 --> 02:25:22,593
this report at their MARCH

4197
02:25:22,593 --> 02:25:24,993
27th meeting and recommended

4198
02:25:26,864 --> 02:25:27,598
it be forwarded to council.

4199
02:25:27,598 --> 02:25:30,734
The first element will look at

4200
02:25:30,734 --> 02:25:33,134
is the economic vitality

4201
02:25:33,671 --> 02:25:34,538
element. This speaks to

4202
02:25:34,538 --> 02:25:35,239
policies are prioritized

4203
02:25:35,239 --> 02:25:36,600
economic sustain of the

4204
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:38,600
sustainability and development

4205
02:25:39,143 --> 02:25:41,450
in the city of Santa Rosa. And

4206
02:25:41,450 --> 02:25:41,913
some of these efforts are

4207
02:25:41,913 --> 02:25:45,513
included on this slide in the

4208
02:25:45,749 --> 02:25:48,185
top left corner is the cover

4209
02:25:48,185 --> 02:25:48,853
sheet for the city's economic

4210
02:25:48,853 --> 02:25:50,853
development strategy, which

4211
02:25:53,240 --> 02:25:53,925
was adopted in 2024. This

4212
02:25:53,925 --> 02:25:55,925
strategy addresses principles

4213
02:25:56,260 --> 02:25:57,862
of innovation, sustainability

4214
02:25:57,862 --> 02:25:58,562
and inclusivity through

4215
02:25:58,562 --> 02:26:00,497
business growth adopt ability

4216
02:26:00,497 --> 02:26:02,897
to economic conditions and

4217
02:26:05,402 --> 02:26:07,802
community investment. In that

4218
02:26:08,506 --> 02:26:09,807
same vein city staff worked

4219
02:26:09,807 --> 02:26:11,876
over the year to create what's

4220
02:26:11,876 --> 02:26:14,276
called the business concierge

4221
02:26:15,379 --> 02:26:15,947
program, which is meant to

4222
02:26:15,947 --> 02:26:16,614
provide advising and

4223
02:26:16,614 --> 02:26:19,140
consulting services for the

4224
02:26:21,252 --> 02:26:23,387
community. In the upper right

4225
02:26:23,387 --> 02:26:25,123
hand corner. You'll see this

4226
02:26:25,123 --> 02:26:27,358
room with the couches that's

4227
02:26:27,358 --> 02:26:30,494
now at City Hall. It's called

4228
02:26:30,494 --> 02:26:31,596
Work Cafe and that's where

4229
02:26:31,596 --> 02:26:32,330
current business operators and

4230
02:26:32,330 --> 02:26:34,330
prospective business operators

4231
02:26:36,200 --> 02:26:37,936
can come to city hall and meat

4232
02:26:37,936 --> 02:26:38,970
and a nice environment and

4233
02:26:38,970 --> 02:26:39,737
advice from city staff about

4234
02:26:39,737 --> 02:26:42,137
permitting needs and whatever

4235
02:26:43,874 --> 02:26:45,100
else they MAY need. Bottom

4236
02:26:45,100 --> 02:26:46,945
left hand corner just a view

4237
02:26:46,945 --> 02:26:48,513
of Montgomery Village staff

4238
02:26:48,513 --> 02:26:51,513
has been working with the

4239
02:26:51,815 --> 02:26:52,517
newer owners of the shopping

4240
02:26:52,517 --> 02:26:55,517
center on design, review and

4241
02:26:56,888 --> 02:26:57,789
building permits needed and we

4242
02:26:57,789 --> 02:26:58,455
continue to see ongoing

4243
02:26:58,455 --> 02:27:00,855
investment in that shopping

4244
02:27:03,695 --> 02:27:05,230
center. Additionally city has

4245
02:27:05,230 --> 02:27:07,630
begun efforts to coordinate

4246
02:27:08,500 --> 02:27:10,201
with landlords of empty

4247
02:27:10,201 --> 02:27:10,869
storefronts and potential

4248
02:27:10,869 --> 02:27:13,370
business operators to allow

4249
02:27:13,370 --> 02:27:15,437
for a pop-up business

4250
02:27:16,700 --> 02:27:16,975
opportunity. This would be for

4251
02:27:16,975 --> 02:27:17,676
vacant storefronts in the

4252
02:27:17,676 --> 02:27:21,276
downtown and the goal of this

4253
02:27:22,814 --> 02:27:25,517
is to. Get willing landlords

4254
02:27:25,517 --> 02:27:28,519
who are willing and able to do

4255
02:27:28,519 --> 02:27:29,187
shorter term leases to let

4256
02:27:29,187 --> 02:27:29,888
some business operators try

4257
02:27:29,888 --> 02:27:34,880
out of space for less cost in

4258
02:27:36,610 --> 02:27:38,461
the downtown. Continuing in

4259
02:27:38,597 --> 02:27:39,297
the same economic vitality

4260
02:27:39,297 --> 02:27:41,866
element is a category in the

4261
02:27:41,866 --> 02:27:42,767
report called downtown. And so

4262
02:27:42,767 --> 02:27:44,369
we'd like to focus on the

4263
02:27:44,369 --> 02:27:46,505
slide on some of the things

4264
02:27:46,505 --> 02:27:48,940
that are happening in downtown

4265
02:27:48,940 --> 02:27:50,940
to encourage economic

4266
02:27:51,243 --> 02:27:53,978
vitality. There. One of those

4267
02:27:53,978 --> 02:27:54,679
things that concerns are

4268
02:27:54,679 --> 02:27:55,413
parking garages, city parking

4269
02:27:55,413 --> 02:27:58,413
garages where they offer first

4270
02:27:58,650 --> 02:28:01,987
are free to park and also of

4271
02:28:01,987 --> 02:28:02,788
the program called Free Garage

4272
02:28:02,788 --> 02:28:05,188
Holiday weekends where parking

4273
02:28:06,257 --> 02:28:06,892
garages are free every weekend

4274
02:28:06,892 --> 02:28:08,892
from Thanksgiving through

4275
02:28:11,630 --> 02:28:12,300
JANUARY. 1st. In the upper

4276
02:28:12,300 --> 02:28:14,660
right hand corner, we see a

4277
02:28:14,660 --> 02:28:16,901
project that was brought to

4278
02:28:16,901 --> 02:28:17,603
the city by the Railroad

4279
02:28:17,603 --> 02:28:20,300
Square Association where they

4280
02:28:21,400 --> 02:28:22,140
propose to style string lights

4281
02:28:22,140 --> 02:28:24,760
and these have already been

4282
02:28:24,760 --> 02:28:26,177
installed. That photo is was

4283
02:28:26,177 --> 02:28:28,179
taken a few weeks ago. That is

4284
02:28:28,179 --> 02:28:30,215
4th street going from the

4285
02:28:30,215 --> 02:28:33,215
Smart Depots station to the

4286
02:28:34,252 --> 02:28:34,920
highway. Underpass. Progress

4287
02:28:34,920 --> 02:28:38,520
was also made by public art

4288
02:28:40,793 --> 02:28:42,270
staff, too. Create a program

4289
02:28:42,270 --> 02:28:43,962
called as our public art walk.

4290
02:28:43,962 --> 02:28:45,697
And this is really supposed to

4291
02:28:45,697 --> 02:28:47,632
be creating temporary art

4292
02:28:47,632 --> 02:28:49,735
outdoor galleries for people

4293
02:28:49,735 --> 02:28:53,335
who live here and want to

4294
02:28:53,405 --> 02:28:55,507
visit the downtown to see new

4295
02:28:55,507 --> 02:28:56,375
and ever changing our pieces

4296
02:28:56,375 --> 02:28:57,750
in the downtown. And I believe

4297
02:28:57,750 --> 02:28:59,478
the call went out called for

4298
02:28:59,478 --> 02:29:03,780
went out in JANUARY. So that's

4299
02:29:03,449 --> 02:29:04,916
that's moving right now. Also

4300
02:29:04,916 --> 02:29:08,387
Santa Rosa and was selected as

4301
02:29:08,387 --> 02:29:11,987
one of 2 cities in the Bay

4302
02:29:12,157 --> 02:29:12,992
Area to test out these pilots

4303
02:29:12,992 --> 02:29:13,625
Santa Rosa. Well, this one

4304
02:29:13,625 --> 02:29:16,250
says Santa Rosa downtown

4305
02:29:18,231 --> 02:29:18,931
station, but these transit hub

4306
02:29:18,931 --> 02:29:22,435
signs that mtc would like to

4307
02:29:22,435 --> 02:29:23,102
implement. In all of the Bay

4308
02:29:23,102 --> 02:29:25,502
area. So there's consistent

4309
02:29:28,730 --> 02:29:28,774
signage whenever you go to a

4310
02:29:28,774 --> 02:29:30,309
smart station, the same as it

4311
02:29:30,309 --> 02:29:31,100
would be a Bart caltrain. So

4312
02:29:31,100 --> 02:29:33,410
there's a consistent message

4313
02:29:35,248 --> 02:29:36,816
in theme. Next railroad

4314
02:29:36,816 --> 02:29:37,517
square. There was a pilot

4315
02:29:37,517 --> 02:29:39,917
wayfinding sign program that

4316
02:29:41,521 --> 02:29:42,121
in 2024 became permanent. So

4317
02:29:42,121 --> 02:29:43,560
no businesses have the

4318
02:29:43,560 --> 02:29:45,456
opportunity to provide some

4319
02:29:46,226 --> 02:29:47,920
way finding to their to their

4320
02:29:47,920 --> 02:29:49,492
businesses. And then finally

4321
02:29:50,964 --> 02:29:51,730
on the slide, city staff are

4322
02:29:51,730 --> 02:29:53,132
approached by Dave and

4323
02:29:53,132 --> 02:29:55,301
Busters, which is a restaurant

4324
02:29:55,301 --> 02:29:57,301
and indoor entertainment

4325
02:29:58,204 --> 02:30:00,273
business about re tenant

4326
02:30:00,273 --> 02:30:01,574
seeing fairly large space in

4327
02:30:01,574 --> 02:30:03,476
the Santa Rosa Also states the

4328
02:30:03,476 --> 02:30:04,711
staff have been working with

4329
02:30:04,711 --> 02:30:05,377
them to determine any

4330
02:30:05,377 --> 02:30:07,777
permitting needs. They MAY

4331
02:30:11,851 --> 02:30:13,719
have. Another element in the

4332
02:30:13,719 --> 02:30:15,688
general plan is the housing

4333
02:30:15,688 --> 02:30:18,291
element and that was adopted

4334
02:30:18,291 --> 02:30:19,759
in FEBRUARY 2023, it's an 8

4335
02:30:19,759 --> 02:30:23,959
year cycles. So the end of the

4336
02:30:23,997 --> 02:30:26,397
cycle, we'll be 2031 housing

4337
02:30:27,100 --> 02:30:28,968
element looks at residential

4338
02:30:28,968 --> 02:30:29,703
units have planning

4339
02:30:29,703 --> 02:30:32,720
entitlements and that could be

4340
02:30:32,720 --> 02:30:32,839
a use permit or design review.

4341
02:30:32,839 --> 02:30:35,410
And it also looks at those

4342
02:30:35,410 --> 02:30:35,809
projects to have building

4343
02:30:35,809 --> 02:30:38,209
permits issued that MAY

4344
02:30:38,945 --> 02:30:40,180
already be under construction,

4345
02:30:40,180 --> 02:30:41,470
as you can see from the chart

4346
02:30:41,470 --> 02:30:44,647
in the upper left, this goes

4347
02:30:44,717 --> 02:30:46,386
back a few years. This gives

4348
02:30:46,386 --> 02:30:48,386
us information residential

4349
02:30:50,357 --> 02:30:53,526
units issued in the last year.

4350
02:30:53,526 --> 02:30:55,926
So in 2024, that was 297

4351
02:30:57,130 --> 02:30:59,130
residential building permits.

4352
02:31:00,133 --> 02:31:02,769
And as you can see, 2021

4353
02:31:02,769 --> 02:31:04,337
through 2023 were pretty

4354
02:31:04,337 --> 02:31:05,380
banner years. The photos on

4355
02:31:05,380 --> 02:31:08,408
the slide to pick the fruits

4356
02:31:08,408 --> 02:31:09,175
of our labors and demonstrate

4357
02:31:09,175 --> 02:31:11,311
the significant number of

4358
02:31:11,311 --> 02:31:12,246
building permits issued in not

4359
02:31:12,246 --> 02:31:14,246
three-year period of 2021.

4360
02:31:16,483 --> 02:31:18,483
Through 2023. These projects

4361
02:31:19,319 --> 02:31:20,530
on the slider currently under

4362
02:31:20,530 --> 02:31:22,453
construction or have completed

4363
02:31:22,889 --> 02:31:25,289
construction in 2024. In the

4364
02:31:25,792 --> 02:31:28,940
upper right hand, that row

4365
02:31:28,940 --> 02:31:30,531
that project Hony a Glenn

4366
02:31:30,531 --> 02:31:32,931
Project, which is located

4367
02:31:34,668 --> 02:31:35,702
Calistoga Road and Highway 12

4368
02:31:35,702 --> 02:31:36,302
99 unit affordable project

4369
02:31:36,302 --> 02:31:38,302
that includes dedicated

4370
02:31:39,773 --> 02:31:40,874
farmworker housing. These

4371
02:31:40,874 --> 02:31:42,576
apartments are now being

4372
02:31:42,576 --> 02:31:45,346
released and the project was

4373
02:31:45,346 --> 02:31:46,847
process under sb. 35 or Senate

4374
02:31:46,847 --> 02:31:49,847
Bill. 35 and that bill was

4375
02:31:50,717 --> 02:31:52,717
designed to streamline

4376
02:31:52,753 --> 02:31:54,540
multifamily projects that meet

4377
02:31:54,540 --> 02:31:56,454
the city's objective standards

4378
02:31:58,358 --> 02:31:59,459
for by right housing. Just

4379
02:31:59,459 --> 02:32:01,859
below the building permit

4380
02:32:03,397 --> 02:32:05,466
chart is South Park Commons,

4381
02:32:05,466 --> 02:32:06,800
which is located at the former

4382
02:32:06,800 --> 02:32:09,703
senior center site, which is

4383
02:32:09,703 --> 02:32:12,103
Bennett Valley in Rutledge

4384
02:32:12,138 --> 02:32:13,841
Avenue. 62 unit, multifamily

4385
02:32:13,841 --> 02:32:15,576
project, also affordable and

4386
02:32:15,576 --> 02:32:18,576
also took advantage of Senate

4387
02:32:21,449 --> 02:32:23,584
Bill. 35 for processing. On

4388
02:32:23,584 --> 02:32:26,453
the middle far right is for 20

4389
02:32:26,453 --> 02:32:27,870
Mendocino Project. This is 8

4390
02:32:27,870 --> 02:32:28,555
stories and wraps around

4391
02:32:28,555 --> 02:32:30,124
Mendocino Avenue and Riley's

4392
02:32:30,124 --> 02:32:33,124
Street. This project is almost

4393
02:32:33,827 --> 02:32:35,827
finished construction and

4394
02:32:35,996 --> 02:32:37,264
based on a site visit. It's

4395
02:32:37,264 --> 02:32:37,832
now being marketed released as

4396
02:32:37,832 --> 02:32:40,232
few links. If you're

4397
02:32:42,903 --> 02:32:44,739
interested. I did skip the

4398
02:32:44,739 --> 02:32:47,700
middle slide is the cannery

4399
02:32:47,700 --> 02:32:49,610
project. And that is located

4400
02:32:49,610 --> 02:32:52,547
right next to Santa Rosa Creek

4401
02:32:52,547 --> 02:32:54,947
also affordable project. And

4402
02:32:55,382 --> 02:32:57,518
finally, the bottom 2 pictures

4403
02:32:57,518 --> 02:33:00,121
or the founder of Apartments.

4404
02:33:00,121 --> 02:33:01,989
And this project includes 239

4405
02:33:01,989 --> 02:33:03,257
units spread out over 6

4406
02:33:03,257 --> 02:33:06,257
buildings that range in height

4407
02:33:06,995 --> 02:33:07,661
from 3 to 5 stories. And this

4408
02:33:07,661 --> 02:33:10,610
project is almost finished

4409
02:33:11,199 --> 02:33:12,466
with construction. As I

4410
02:33:12,466 --> 02:33:13,968
mentioned, the housing element

4411
02:33:13,968 --> 02:33:16,400
also looks at projects that

4412
02:33:16,400 --> 02:33:16,871
have approved planning

4413
02:33:16,871 --> 02:33:19,271
entitlements and are waiting

4414
02:33:21,109 --> 02:33:22,342
to pull permits to construct.

4415
02:33:22,342 --> 02:33:23,678
On the top row. Going left to

4416
02:33:23,678 --> 02:33:26,214
right. That is the cornerstone

4417
02:33:26,214 --> 02:33:29,214
project in the downtown that

4418
02:33:29,416 --> 02:33:31,816
was approved for 114 units.

4419
02:33:32,186 --> 02:33:35,560
The Middle Row is the Cherry

4420
02:33:35,560 --> 02:33:35,923
Project that's located on

4421
02:33:35,923 --> 02:33:38,323
Fresno Avenue and it's

4422
02:33:38,893 --> 02:33:39,994
approved for 67 units and then

4423
02:33:39,994 --> 02:33:42,730
the bottom row. We have the

4424
02:33:42,730 --> 02:33:45,433
land strive project and that's

4425
02:33:45,433 --> 02:33:47,602
in the city's north. What

4426
02:33:47,602 --> 02:33:49,602
northwest quadrant. It's

4427
02:33:50,305 --> 02:33:52,240
approved for 672 units of

4428
02:33:52,240 --> 02:33:54,240
multifamily housing. 98 small

4429
02:33:55,976 --> 02:33:57,512
lot. Single-family dwellings

4430
02:33:57,512 --> 02:33:58,213
and 4800 square feet of

4431
02:33:58,213 --> 02:34:00,613
community serving retail and

4432
02:34:03,785 --> 02:34:05,887
outdoor Plaza. The regional

4433
02:34:05,887 --> 02:34:07,856
housing needs allocation is

4434
02:34:07,856 --> 02:34:10,759
part of the housing element

4435
02:34:10,759 --> 02:34:11,393
California. Mandates each

4436
02:34:11,393 --> 02:34:12,860
jurisdiction creates fair

4437
02:34:12,860 --> 02:34:13,461
share of housing, called the

4438
02:34:13,461 --> 02:34:15,461
regional housing needs

4439
02:34:15,797 --> 02:34:17,632
allocation or arena. The

4440
02:34:17,632 --> 02:34:18,600
California Department of

4441
02:34:18,600 --> 02:34:19,334
Housing and Community

4442
02:34:19,334 --> 02:34:20,735
Development Hcd determines the

4443
02:34:20,735 --> 02:34:23,771
total number of new homes. The

4444
02:34:23,771 --> 02:34:25,173
Bay Area needs to build and

4445
02:34:25,173 --> 02:34:26,941
how affordable those homes

4446
02:34:26,941 --> 02:34:27,976
need to build in order to meet

4447
02:34:27,976 --> 02:34:30,976
the housing demands of people

4448
02:34:31,813 --> 02:34:32,881
at all income levels after

4449
02:34:32,881 --> 02:34:34,516
that, the Association of Bay

4450
02:34:34,516 --> 02:34:35,183
Area governments or a bad been

4451
02:34:35,183 --> 02:34:37,352
distributes a share of the

4452
02:34:37,352 --> 02:34:40,352
region's housing needs to each

4453
02:34:40,721 --> 02:34:42,240
city and county in the region.

4454
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:42,991
The table on this slide

4455
02:34:42,991 --> 02:34:43,758
compares reena numbers for

4456
02:34:43,758 --> 02:34:46,950
Santa Rosa with building

4457
02:34:46,950 --> 02:34:48,495
permit issuance by income

4458
02:34:48,930 --> 02:34:49,631
category to illustrate the

4459
02:34:49,631 --> 02:34:50,299
remaining need at the end of

4460
02:34:50,299 --> 02:34:53,299
the cycle, which again is

4461
02:34:54,236 --> 02:34:57,236
2031. The top row that's been

4462
02:34:57,539 --> 02:34:59,408
populated with numbers. And

4463
02:34:59,408 --> 02:35:01,510
it's listed as the a baggy

4464
02:35:01,510 --> 02:35:04,246
green objectives is the number

4465
02:35:04,246 --> 02:35:04,913
of Reno units and income

4466
02:35:04,913 --> 02:35:07,313
categories required by the

4467
02:35:08,484 --> 02:35:11,453
city for this 8 year cycle.

4468
02:35:11,453 --> 02:35:12,154
Skip ahead a little bit. The

4469
02:35:12,154 --> 02:35:12,888
2023 issued role really just

4470
02:35:12,888 --> 02:35:16,488
gives you a comparison of what

4471
02:35:16,692 --> 02:35:18,692
happened. The previous

4472
02:35:19,728 --> 02:35:21,530
calendar year. And then we're

4473
02:35:21,530 --> 02:35:24,530
at 2024. And that shows you

4474
02:35:27,236 --> 02:35:28,203
that 297 units of above

4475
02:35:28,203 --> 02:35:28,870
moderate units have building

4476
02:35:28,870 --> 02:35:31,870
permits issued in this last

4477
02:35:32,475 --> 02:35:34,143
calendar year. The row at the

4478
02:35:34,143 --> 02:35:36,412
bottom, the remaining need by

4479
02:35:36,412 --> 02:35:37,279
2031 gives you a breakdown of

4480
02:35:37,279 --> 02:35:40,279
the income categories in total

4481
02:35:40,816 --> 02:35:41,817
number of units. But the city

4482
02:35:41,817 --> 02:35:46,170
needs to to provide by the end

4483
02:35:48,357 --> 02:35:49,592
of the cycle. Again, 2031.

4484
02:35:49,592 --> 02:35:51,827
Land use and urban design

4485
02:35:51,827 --> 02:35:52,661
element is combined on this

4486
02:35:52,661 --> 02:35:53,362
slide and we typically go

4487
02:35:53,362 --> 02:35:56,962
through and show you some of

4488
02:35:57,233 --> 02:36:00,833
the things that the city has

4489
02:36:01,270 --> 02:36:02,871
either approved permits for is

4490
02:36:02,871 --> 02:36:04,707
considered concept. Design

4491
02:36:04,707 --> 02:36:07,844
real props for projects in the

4492
02:36:07,844 --> 02:36:09,378
city. Upper left is the zones

4493
02:36:09,378 --> 02:36:12,148
which some of you MAY know is

4494
02:36:12,148 --> 02:36:14,350
the boys and Girls Club that

4495
02:36:14,350 --> 02:36:15,417
converted to the zones does

4496
02:36:15,417 --> 02:36:16,520
similar things. They had a

4497
02:36:16,520 --> 02:36:18,452
design review project for

4498
02:36:18,988 --> 02:36:19,688
interior and exterior. All of

4499
02:36:19,688 --> 02:36:22,880
their building permits are

4500
02:36:23,626 --> 02:36:26,260
final in calendar year 2024.

4501
02:36:27,696 --> 02:36:28,397
The 2 top right slides are

4502
02:36:28,397 --> 02:36:30,797
canine companions and that's

4503
02:36:31,300 --> 02:36:33,135
their facility on Avenue. And

4504
02:36:33,135 --> 02:36:33,970
they also had a design review

4505
02:36:33,970 --> 02:36:35,970
project finance finish

4506
02:36:37,173 --> 02:36:39,750
building permit for the got

4507
02:36:39,750 --> 02:36:41,377
their building permits finals

4508
02:36:41,377 --> 02:36:43,777
in 2024. For a veterinary

4509
02:36:44,147 --> 02:36:44,814
hospital, a canine health and

4510
02:36:44,814 --> 02:36:47,214
wellness facility. And that

4511
02:36:47,382 --> 02:36:49,782
awesome water feature the

4512
02:36:51,654 --> 02:36:52,221
middle slide Something that's

4513
02:36:52,221 --> 02:36:54,157
not yet approved. But

4514
02:36:54,157 --> 02:36:56,225
something that the city has

4515
02:36:56,225 --> 02:36:56,993
been considering as a design

4516
02:36:56,993 --> 02:36:59,393
review application, it would

4517
02:36:59,963 --> 02:37:01,998
be an expansion of the

4518
02:37:01,998 --> 02:37:03,998
Spring-like village retirement

4519
02:37:04,330 --> 02:37:06,330
community and they're

4520
02:37:06,369 --> 02:37:07,360
proposing 32 units. This is

4521
02:37:07,360 --> 02:37:08,938
located roughly between Los

4522
02:37:08,938 --> 02:37:10,873
Alamos and Montgomery Drive

4523
02:37:10,873 --> 02:37:13,109
the bottom right picture in

4524
02:37:13,109 --> 02:37:14,978
blue. That was a concept

4525
02:37:14,978 --> 02:37:15,811
design review elevation for

4526
02:37:15,811 --> 02:37:18,810
the Hansel Ford Commercial

4527
02:37:18,810 --> 02:37:20,250
Truck Service building on

4528
02:37:20,250 --> 02:37:22,850
Welton Court. And the bottom

4529
02:37:22,850 --> 02:37:23,487
right is concept design review

4530
02:37:23,487 --> 02:37:24,855
elevation for events and

4531
02:37:24,855 --> 02:37:27,255
conference center at 3rd

4532
02:37:31,270 --> 02:37:31,995
Street in the downtown. The

4533
02:37:31,995 --> 02:37:33,630
transportation element is

4534
02:37:33,630 --> 02:37:33,930
next. The general plan

4535
02:37:33,930 --> 02:37:36,930
includes goals and policies in

4536
02:37:37,400 --> 02:37:38,468
this section about creating

4537
02:37:38,468 --> 02:37:39,690
improve transportation options

4538
02:37:39,690 --> 02:37:41,690
and collaborating with

4539
02:37:42,772 --> 02:37:43,440
regional partners. And you've

4540
02:37:43,440 --> 02:37:44,140
probably seen many of these

4541
02:37:44,140 --> 02:37:46,540
improvements that took place

4542
02:37:47,844 --> 02:37:50,244
in calendar year 2024. Top

4543
02:37:50,580 --> 02:37:52,490
left. We have the class to

4544
02:37:52,490 --> 02:37:53,116
bike lane that was installed

4545
02:37:53,116 --> 02:37:54,170
at 4th Street. And the view

4546
02:37:54,170 --> 02:37:57,617
here is right before the merge

4547
02:37:58,550 --> 02:37:59,489
to College. Ave now the middle

4548
02:37:59,489 --> 02:38:01,357
top slide is a class for bike

4549
02:38:01,357 --> 02:38:03,293
lane that was installed right

4550
02:38:03,293 --> 02:38:05,996
out here. Santa Rosa Avenue

4551
02:38:05,996 --> 02:38:08,996
between first and Sonoma and

4552
02:38:11,568 --> 02:38:13,370
then the middle slide rfp. A

4553
02:38:13,370 --> 02:38:15,305
lot of these were installed,

4554
02:38:15,305 --> 02:38:17,600
rapid rectangular flashing

4555
02:38:17,600 --> 02:38:19,176
beacons and these were

4556
02:38:19,176 --> 02:38:20,711
installed in several

4557
02:38:20,711 --> 02:38:21,411
crosswalks in calendar year

4558
02:38:21,411 --> 02:38:23,411
2024. To increase pedestrian

4559
02:38:25,516 --> 02:38:27,516
visibility. The transit

4560
02:38:28,618 --> 02:38:29,319
division worked closely with

4561
02:38:29,319 --> 02:38:30,153
the regional transit agencies

4562
02:38:30,153 --> 02:38:32,122
to coordinate efforts and

4563
02:38:32,122 --> 02:38:34,725
schedules. And one of these

4564
02:38:34,725 --> 02:38:35,425
efforts is called mascots or

4565
02:38:35,425 --> 02:38:37,825
the Marine Sonoma Coordinated

4566
02:38:38,595 --> 02:38:39,496
Transit service plan in this

4567
02:38:39,496 --> 02:38:40,397
particular plan is really

4568
02:38:40,397 --> 02:38:42,797
looking at analyzing the

4569
02:38:42,866 --> 02:38:44,866
highway 101, corridor to

4570
02:38:46,737 --> 02:38:49,137
determine if there are

4571
02:38:49,773 --> 02:38:50,875
efficiencies that can be made

4572
02:38:50,875 --> 02:38:53,875
all of the transit partners

4573
02:38:55,379 --> 02:38:56,800
that service that corridor.

4574
02:38:56,800 --> 02:38:59,216
One thing I'd really like to

4575
02:38:59,216 --> 02:38:59,950
highlight is the youth

4576
02:38:59,950 --> 02:39:01,318
unlimited rides program, which

4577
02:39:01,318 --> 02:39:03,320
allows a youth in the city of

4578
02:39:03,320 --> 02:39:05,890
Santa Rosa to Ride City bus

4579
02:39:05,890 --> 02:39:08,491
for free any time and anywhere

4580
02:39:08,491 --> 02:39:10,961
that city bus is operating.

4581
02:39:10,961 --> 02:39:13,264
And this program is vastly

4582
02:39:13,264 --> 02:39:15,664
exceeded expectations prior to

4583
02:39:16,166 --> 02:39:17,435
the initiation of this program

4584
02:39:17,435 --> 02:39:19,835
in 2021. Youth accounted for

4585
02:39:21,805 --> 02:39:24,805
198,000 rides per year in this

4586
02:39:26,543 --> 02:39:28,943
last year. Figure was 456,000,

4587
02:39:31,548 --> 02:39:34,285
867 writes. Now we're on to

4588
02:39:34,285 --> 02:39:36,287
the public services facilities

4589
02:39:36,287 --> 02:39:37,321
element which deals with goals

4590
02:39:37,321 --> 02:39:38,455
and policies surrounding

4591
02:39:38,455 --> 02:39:40,491
acquisition and development of

4592
02:39:40,491 --> 02:39:41,158
park facilities, police and

4593
02:39:41,158 --> 02:39:44,158
fire services air and water

4594
02:39:45,596 --> 02:39:47,665
supply. First, the fire

4595
02:39:47,665 --> 02:39:48,666
protection section calls for

4596
02:39:48,666 --> 02:39:49,667
collaboration with other

4597
02:39:49,667 --> 02:39:51,102
jurisdictions for fire

4598
02:39:51,102 --> 02:39:51,769
services, which the fire

4599
02:39:51,769 --> 02:39:54,380
department engages in with

4600
02:39:54,380 --> 02:39:55,907
auto aid agreements with

4601
02:39:55,907 --> 02:39:58,109
Sonoma County Fire District

4602
02:39:58,109 --> 02:40:00,109
Sonoma Valley Protection

4603
02:40:00,144 --> 02:40:01,145
District. They also do this

4604
02:40:01,145 --> 02:40:04,145
with these sr mutual threat

4605
02:40:05,516 --> 02:40:06,317
zone operating plan. Which is

4606
02:40:06,317 --> 02:40:08,519
in partnership with Sonoma

4607
02:40:08,519 --> 02:40:10,555
County for District in Cal

4608
02:40:10,555 --> 02:40:12,456
Fire and covers specific wild

4609
02:40:12,456 --> 02:40:14,856
land, urban interface, areas.

4610
02:40:16,527 --> 02:40:18,527
In 2024. Fire department

4611
02:40:20,465 --> 02:40:21,966
received 28,358 calls for

4612
02:40:21,966 --> 02:40:24,966
service. 69% of which were for

4613
02:40:25,970 --> 02:40:28,139
emergency medical incidents in

4614
02:40:28,139 --> 02:40:29,341
a total of 135 fires resulted

4615
02:40:29,341 --> 02:40:31,341
in approximately 10.5 million

4616
02:40:33,177 --> 02:40:35,112
dollars in for losses. Now on

4617
02:40:35,112 --> 02:40:38,112
to please use services skews

4618
02:40:38,215 --> 02:40:38,850
me this section also includes

4619
02:40:38,850 --> 02:40:40,850
collaboration with other

4620
02:40:43,288 --> 02:40:44,189
agencies and organizations

4621
02:40:44,189 --> 02:40:44,889
which the police department

4622
02:40:44,889 --> 02:40:47,889
doesn't. Several I think you

4623
02:40:47,959 --> 02:40:48,727
heard tonight about the

4624
02:40:48,727 --> 02:40:49,327
violence prevention

4625
02:40:49,327 --> 02:40:51,327
partnership, our police

4626
02:40:52,664 --> 02:40:53,664
Department partners with them

4627
02:40:53,664 --> 02:40:56,000
as well as regional and

4628
02:40:56,000 --> 02:40:56,601
federal task force is to

4629
02:40:56,601 --> 02:40:58,336
reduce violence in the

4630
02:40:58,336 --> 02:40:59,400
community and tried to address

4631
02:40:59,400 --> 02:41:02,400
the opioid crisis in Sonoma

4632
02:41:04,800 --> 02:41:06,800
County. During Twenty-twenty

4633
02:41:07,679 --> 02:41:10,790
for police responded to

4634
02:41:12,817 --> 02:41:14,285
117,848 calls for service over

4635
02:41:14,285 --> 02:41:16,685
390 firearms were seized in

4636
02:41:17,222 --> 02:41:18,123
criminal investigations. 124

4637
02:41:18,123 --> 02:41:20,523
of these were manufactured

4638
02:41:21,326 --> 02:41:22,260
firearms are ghost guns. And

4639
02:41:22,260 --> 02:41:24,660
that's a 20 125% increase from

4640
02:41:26,931 --> 02:41:29,334
last year. In the same

4641
02:41:29,334 --> 02:41:31,136
element, we have a section on

4642
02:41:31,136 --> 02:41:31,803
water supply and that deals

4643
02:41:31,803 --> 02:41:33,906
with goals and policies to

4644
02:41:33,906 --> 02:41:35,540
ensure we have adequate water

4645
02:41:35,540 --> 02:41:37,940
supply available for existing

4646
02:41:38,877 --> 02:41:40,813
and future needs of the city

4647
02:41:40,813 --> 02:41:42,800
and the city's water supply is

4648
02:41:42,800 --> 02:41:44,800
primarily furnished through

4649
02:41:44,883 --> 02:41:45,884
the Russian And as Jennifer

4650
02:41:45,884 --> 02:41:46,652
Burke mentioned earlier, there

4651
02:41:46,652 --> 02:41:49,652
are several programs that the

4652
02:41:52,157 --> 02:41:53,125
city offers too reduce your

4653
02:41:53,125 --> 02:41:53,825
water bill to do rain, water,

4654
02:41:53,825 --> 02:41:56,225
harvesting rebates and things

4655
02:41:58,230 --> 02:42:00,332
like that. The city plans for

4656
02:42:00,332 --> 02:42:01,133
projected water demand water

4657
02:42:01,133 --> 02:42:03,533
supply and water supply

4658
02:42:04,169 --> 02:42:05,170
reliability through its urban

4659
02:42:05,170 --> 02:42:05,737
water management plan that was

4660
02:42:05,737 --> 02:42:07,500
adopted by the State

4661
02:42:07,500 --> 02:42:09,405
Department of Water Resources

4662
02:42:11,100 --> 02:42:12,178
in 2021. And they also a

4663
02:42:12,178 --> 02:42:14,578
document called the water

4664
02:42:15,181 --> 02:42:16,215
Shortage, contingency plan

4665
02:42:16,215 --> 02:42:17,949
that describes how the city

4666
02:42:17,949 --> 02:42:19,485
will respond during times of

4667
02:42:19,485 --> 02:42:21,885
drought supply reductions in

4668
02:42:24,900 --> 02:42:25,991
emergencies. Parks is also in

4669
02:42:25,991 --> 02:42:27,359
this section. They have

4670
02:42:27,359 --> 02:42:30,950
several projects going on. I

4671
02:42:30,950 --> 02:42:31,397
only have 2 listed on the

4672
02:42:31,397 --> 02:42:33,299

Birthdays. We're now at the

4698
02:43:31,891 --> 02:43:33,993
open space in conservation

4699
02:43:33,993 --> 02:43:36,830
elements this part of the

4700
02:43:36,830 --> 02:43:39,830
general plan speaks to goals

4701
02:43:39,833 --> 02:43:41,568
related to open resource

4702
02:43:41,568 --> 02:43:43,436
conservation and in the

includes efforts to reduce

4746
02:45:08,789 --> 02:45:09,923
greenhouse gas emissions. The

4747
02:45:09,923 --> 02:45:11,158
city's draft community. Why

4748
02:45:11,158 --> 02:45:12,693
greenhouse gas reduction

4749
02:45:12,693 --> 02:45:13,327
strategy has been prepared as

4750
02:45:13,327 --> 02:45:15,727
part of the Comprehensive

be considered for approval in

4753
02:45:20,467 --> 02:45:21,168
the next couple months. The

4754
02:45:21,168 --> 02:45:22,803
stalking it will replace the

4755
02:45:22,803 --> 02:45:23,870
city's current community,

4756
02:45:23,870 --> 02:45:24,538
climate action plan and

4757
02:45:24,538 --> 02:45:25,272
incorporate many of the

4758
02:45:25,272 --> 02:45:25,940
elements of the municipal

4759
02:45:25,940 --> 02:45:27,940

4760
02:45:29,310 --> 02:45:30,244
plan. Going for the greenhouse

4761
02:45:30,244 --> 02:45:33,244
gas reduction strategy will be

4762
02:45:33,947 --> 02:45:34,615
the one document measuring

4763
02:45:34,615 --> 02:45:37,150
progress towards Santa Rosa

4764
02:45:37,150 --> 02:45:37,818
climate neutrality by 2045,

4765
02:45:37,818 --> 02:45:40,818
which is in accordance with

4766
02:45:43,557 --> 02:45:44,658
state mandate. Now we're on to

4767
02:45:44,658 --> 02:45:46,560
the youth and family elements

4768
02:45:46,560 --> 02:45:47,561

4769
02:45:47,561 --> 02:45:48,229
goals to promote health,

4770
02:45:48,229 --> 02:45:51,229
safety and welfare for all

4771
02:45:51,933 --> 02:45:54,100

4772
02:45:54,100 --> 02:45:54,668
city programs touch on this,

4773
02:45:54,668 --> 02:45:57,370
including this city youth.

partnership work by the

4780
02:46:04,678 --> 02:46:05,313
partnership. In on a

4781
02:46:05,313 --> 02:46:08,313
mentioned, a few of these

4782
02:46:08,683 --> 02:46:09,884
things earlier. This includes

4783
02:46:09,884 --> 02:46:10,684
Safe Campus Intervention

4784
02:46:10,684 --> 02:46:13,840

4789
02:46:21,329 --> 02:46:22,263
the park's updates provided in

4790
02:46:22,263 --> 02:46:24,663
the public facilities element,

4791
02:46:24,732 --> 02:46:26,367
the recreation and parks team

4792
02:46:26,367 --> 02:46:28,469
continues to publish activity

camps training classes

4795
02:46:35,276 --> 02:46:36,677
classes. I think I already

4796
02:46:36,677 --> 02:46:39,647
mentioned that. And to members

4797
02:46:39,647 --> 02:46:40,581
of the community and in 2020

4798
02:46:40,581 --> 02:46:41,482

different volunteer program.

4804
02:46:54,362 --> 02:46:56,431
Areas. This annual report also

4805
02:46:56,431 --> 02:46:57,650
includes an update on the

ordinance that was adopted in

4808
02:47:01,970 --> 02:47:03,670
1992. In response to record

4809
02:47:03,670 --> 02:47:04,472
growth the Mid 1980's and

4810
02:47:04,472 --> 02:47:05,306
concern regarding the city's

4811
02:47:05,306 --> 02:47:07,706
ability to provide adequate

4812
02:47:09,344 --> 02:47:10,378
services. Growth management

4813
02:47:10,378 --> 02:47:11,460
was added to the Santa Rosa

4814
02:47:11,460 --> 02:47:13,948
General plan as a separate

4815
02:47:13,948 --> 02:47:14,983
optional element. And the

4816
02:47:14,983 --> 02:47:16,784
city's growth management

4817
02:47:16,784 --> 02:47:18,620
ordinance regulates

4818
02:47:18,620 --> 02:47:21,200
residential growth by allowing

4819
02:47:21,656 --> 02:47:22,824
800 new residential allotments

4820
02:47:22,824 --> 02:47:23,525
per year anticipates this

4821
02:47:23,525 --> 02:47:25,925
development pace would result

4822
02:47:27,762 --> 02:47:29,300
in the population for Santa

4823
02:47:29,300 --> 02:47:32,300
Rosa of 237,000 people by the

4824
02:47:32,934 --> 02:47:34,703
year 2035. And as a came

4825
02:47:34,703 --> 02:47:35,804
earlier in the report, the

4826
02:47:35,804 --> 02:47:36,738
Department of Finance most

4827
02:47:36,738 --> 02:47:39,138
recent population estimate for

4828
02:47:40,708 --> 02:47:42,708
Santa Rosa is 174,890

4829
02:47:45,447 --> 02:47:47,810
residents. Growth Management

4830
02:47:47,810 --> 02:47:49,481
allotments are available from

4831
02:47:49,851 --> 02:47:51,820
2 reserves. They're called and

4832
02:47:51,820 --> 02:47:54,489
reserve be and they each get

4833
02:47:54,489 --> 02:47:56,889
400 new allotments per year.

4834
02:47:58,160 --> 02:47:58,826
The allotments are for housing

4835
02:47:58,826 --> 02:48:00,762
products such as accessory

4836
02:48:00,762 --> 02:48:02,731
dwelling units mixed use

4837
02:48:02,731 --> 02:48:03,398
multifamily and smaller

4838
02:48:03,398 --> 02:48:05,398
single-family under 12, 50

4839
02:48:07,502 --> 02:48:08,203
square feet. Reserve be are

4840
02:48:08,203 --> 02:48:10,500
for single-family units that

4841
02:48:10,500 --> 02:48:13,500
are over that square footage.

4842
02:48:13,742 --> 02:48:14,877
So in 2024, as we reviewed

4843
02:48:14,877 --> 02:48:16,877
earlier, 297 residential

4844
02:48:17,646 --> 02:48:19,881
building permits were issued.

4845
02:48:19,881 --> 02:48:22,881
And of these permits 156 were

4846
02:48:23,418 --> 02:48:25,818
reserved a qualifying units

4847
02:48:28,290 --> 02:48:29,124
and 141 were reserved. Be. The

4848
02:48:29,124 --> 02:48:29,892
number of entitled units,

4849
02:48:29,892 --> 02:48:31,892
those residential projects

4850
02:48:32,527 --> 02:48:33,195
that received planning

4851
02:48:33,195 --> 02:48:36,195
approvals but did not have

4852
02:48:37,266 --> 02:48:39,340
permits issued yet was 699 and

4853
02:48:39,340 --> 02:48:42,340
the reserve a category and 6

4854
02:48:44,840 --> 02:48:45,541
in the reserve be category.

4855
02:48:45,541 --> 02:48:49,741
Now we're on to the review of

4856
02:48:50,790 --> 02:48:51,313
inclusionary housing.

4857
02:48:51,313 --> 02:48:53,490
Inclusionary housing requires

4858
02:48:53,490 --> 02:48:54,483
that housing projects include

4859
02:48:54,483 --> 02:48:56,883
on-site affordable units or

4860
02:48:58,821 --> 02:48:59,889
the payment of inlude fees.

4861
02:48:59,889 --> 02:49:01,690
Al-Qaida units are for nearly

4862
02:49:01,690 --> 02:49:04,260
construction for rent or for

4863
02:49:04,260 --> 02:49:04,660
sale units which are made

4864
02:49:04,660 --> 02:49:05,327
available in occupied by

4865
02:49:05,327 --> 02:49:07,727
household of lower moderate

4866
02:49:09,331 --> 02:49:11,901
income. Types of units are

4867
02:49:11,901 --> 02:49:12,668
also subject to occupancy and

4868
02:49:12,668 --> 02:49:14,770
affordable rent or sales price

4869
02:49:14,770 --> 02:49:17,770
controls for a minimum of. 55

4870
02:49:20,509 --> 02:49:21,777
years. When the city receives

4871
02:49:21,777 --> 02:49:22,711
housing impact fees, money

4872
02:49:22,711 --> 02:49:24,513
collected from the

4873
02:49:24,513 --> 02:49:26,480
inclusionary housing ordinance

4874
02:49:26,480 --> 02:49:26,648
is directed to the city's

4875
02:49:26,648 --> 02:49:28,648
Housing Authority which

4876
02:49:30,586 --> 02:49:31,220
administers these funds during

4877
02:49:31,220 --> 02:49:33,220
Twenty-twenty for all 297

4878
02:49:34,570 --> 02:49:36,250
units were market rate.

4879
02:49:36,250 --> 02:49:36,692
However, that generated in

4880
02:49:36,692 --> 02:49:40,292
live funds in the amount of

4881
02:49:40,696 --> 02:49:41,264
1.5, 2 million dollars.

4882
02:49:41,264 --> 02:49:42,565
Collected to support

4883
02:49:42,565 --> 02:49:44,934
affordable housing in the

4884
02:49:44,934 --> 02:49:45,601
city. These funds will be used

4885
02:49:45,601 --> 02:49:48,100
for the recently completed

4886
02:49:48,404 --> 02:49:49,505
Stony Point Flats Project and

4887
02:49:49,505 --> 02:49:51,674
for the future development of

4888
02:49:51,674 --> 02:49:53,674
to affordable housing

4889
02:49:53,776 --> 02:49:55,478
complexes and the pictures on

4890
02:49:55,478 --> 02:49:56,346
these slides just a packed

4891
02:49:56,346 --> 02:49:57,460
existing affordable housing

4892
02:49:57,460 --> 02:50:00,646
projects in the city of Santa

4893
02:50:02,251 --> 02:50:04,651
Rosa. For the environmental

4894
02:50:05,154 --> 02:50:06,255
piece of general plan, annual

4895
02:50:06,255 --> 02:50:07,590
review report is not a project

4896
02:50:07,590 --> 02:50:08,558
which has the potential for

4897
02:50:08,558 --> 02:50:10,126
resulting in either a direct

4898
02:50:10,126 --> 02:50:12,526
physical change in the

4899
02:50:12,996 --> 02:50:13,797
environment. We're reasonably

4900
02:50:13,797 --> 02:50:15,531
foreseeable in direct physical

4901
02:50:15,531 --> 02:50:17,931
change in the environment.

4902
02:50:17,934 --> 02:50:20,334
Pursuant to sequel guidelines

4903
02:50:25,308 --> 02:50:26,743
Section 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, And

4904
02:50:26,743 --> 02:50:27,477
before I conclude with the

4905
02:50:27,477 --> 02:50:28,611
recommendation, I would just

4906
02:50:28,611 --> 02:50:32,211
like to make a pitch for

4907
02:50:32,549 --> 02:50:34,784
anyone who's listening or not

4908
02:50:34,784 --> 02:50:35,485
already signed up for the city

4909
02:50:35,485 --> 02:50:37,485
connections, newsletter. It's

4910
02:50:39,220 --> 02:50:40,790
a free newsletter. It goes out

4911
02:50:40,790 --> 02:50:42,525
once or twice a month and has

4912
02:50:42,525 --> 02:50:45,662
a lot of the same information

4913
02:50:45,662 --> 02:50:46,963
that I've provided tonight as

4914
02:50:46,963 --> 02:50:49,363
well as opportunities to

4915
02:50:50,567 --> 02:50:51,601
engage and community events.

4916
02:50:51,601 --> 02:50:52,302
And the part of those 10,000

4917
02:50:52,302 --> 02:50:55,302
people who perhaps help clean

4918
02:50:55,806 --> 02:50:57,507
up the creek. And with that,

4919
02:50:57,507 --> 02:50:58,740
it's recommended by the

4920
02:50:58,740 --> 02:50:58,742
planning and economic

4921
02:50:58,742 --> 02:51:00,742
development department that

4922
02:51:02,450 --> 02:51:04,647
the council by Motion Rivian

4923
02:51:04,647 --> 02:51:05,348
except the 2024 general plan,

4924
02:51:05,348 --> 02:51:07,348
inclusionary housing and

4925
02:51:08,518 --> 02:51:10,518
Growth Management annual

4926
02:51:10,620 --> 02:51:12,556
review report. This is my

4927
02:51:12,556 --> 02:51:14,123
contact information. I'm here

4928
02:51:14,123 --> 02:51:16,192
as well as supervising planner

4929
02:51:16,192 --> 02:51:18,328
Amy Nicholson and we have

4930
02:51:18,328 --> 02:51:20,497
several members of staff from

4931
02:51:20,497 --> 02:51:21,970
various departments who will

4932
02:51:21,970 --> 02:51:23,497
be available to answer

4933
02:51:25,680 --> 02:51:27,370
questions. Thank you. Thank

4934
02:51:27,370 --> 02:51:28,272
you. For anybody. You ask

4935
02:51:28,272 --> 02:51:30,672
themselves the question, what

4936
02:51:30,774 --> 02:51:31,475
kinds of things to do? City

4937
02:51:31,475 --> 02:51:32,142
staff do to make the quality

4938
02:51:32,142 --> 02:51:33,410
of life in the city better?

4939
02:51:33,410 --> 02:51:33,810
Well, there's answer right

4940
02:51:33,810 --> 02:51:34,477
there.

4941
02:51:34,477 --> 02:51:37,477
>> Bring it back to council

4942
02:51:40,184 --> 02:51:43,860
for questions. Been us. Thank

4943
02:51:43,860 --> 02:51:45,880
you for the presentation.

4944
02:51:45,880 --> 02:51:45,756
>> Just a quick question about

4945
02:51:45,756 --> 02:51:49,356
I was looking at the annual

4946
02:51:50,160 --> 02:51:53,230
report. I saw the term the

4947
02:51:53,230 --> 02:51:53,931
missing middle. And I've been

4948
02:51:53,931 --> 02:51:56,266
hearing a lot about that out

4949
02:51:56,266 --> 02:51:57,267
in the community. And I would

4950
02:51:57,267 --> 02:51:59,469
if you would talk them that

4951
02:51:59,469 --> 02:52:00,170
there was an ordinance coming,

4952
02:52:00,170 --> 02:52:03,440
I guess I would if you would

4953
02:52:03,440 --> 02:52:04,475
talk about that for a moment.

4954
02:52:04,475 --> 02:52:05,342
>> Yeah. That's one of missing

4955
02:52:05,342 --> 02:52:06,176
middle ordinance is something

4956
02:52:06,176 --> 02:52:08,576
that's been contemplated by

4957
02:52:09,913 --> 02:52:10,614
the city for quite some time.

4958
02:52:10,614 --> 02:52:13,614
The city through the general

4959
02:52:15,520 --> 02:52:16,352
plan update is proposing to

4960
02:52:16,352 --> 02:52:17,455
include dot really to explain

4961
02:52:17,455 --> 02:52:20,455
it briefly, it's to brought

4962
02:52:21,792 --> 02:52:22,992
provide for gentle density.

4963
02:52:22,992 --> 02:52:23,994
Where it's not this massive

4964
02:52:23,994 --> 02:52:24,962
building. It looks more like a

4965
02:52:24,962 --> 02:52:25,663
house. It at that, you know,

4966
02:52:25,663 --> 02:52:28,165
maybe 2 and a half 3 stories,

4967
02:52:28,165 --> 02:52:30,565
something that blends in

4968
02:52:31,100 --> 02:52:33,170
provides more units and these

4969
02:52:33,170 --> 02:52:34,938
missing properties would be

4970
02:52:34,938 --> 02:52:37,207
located in areas that are

4971
02:52:37,207 --> 02:52:38,743
walkable to services said the

4972
02:52:38,743 --> 02:52:41,212
parking needs should not be as

4973
02:52:41,212 --> 02:52:43,681
great as you know, if it on

4974
02:52:43,681 --> 02:52:44,382
the outskirts of town Amy

4975
02:52:44,382 --> 02:52:47,852
chime in. If she has anything

4976
02:52:47,852 --> 02:52:49,530
else to say. Thank you,

4977
02:52:49,530 --> 02:52:51,530
councilmember for the

4978
02:52:52,890 --> 02:52:53,990
question. So it everything

4979
02:52:53,990 --> 02:52:54,692
that Sheila mentioned is is

4980
02:52:54,692 --> 02:52:55,326
accurate. We are moving

4981
02:52:55,326 --> 02:52:57,726
forward with this missing

4982
02:52:58,620 --> 02:53:00,620
middle housing initiative.

4983
02:53:00,731 --> 02:53:01,833
>> We well be.

4984
02:53:01,833 --> 02:53:02,467
>> Talking about it just

4985
02:53:02,467 --> 02:53:04,568
briefly as a part of our

4986
02:53:04,568 --> 02:53:05,203
General Plan update

4987
02:53:05,203 --> 02:53:07,203
presentation because the

4988
02:53:09,400 --> 02:53:09,673
general plan update does

4989
02:53:09,673 --> 02:53:10,842
really set the scene for

4990
02:53:10,842 --> 02:53:11,876
missing middle housing to be

4991
02:53:11,876 --> 02:53:12,610
allowed within the city.

4992
02:53:12,610 --> 02:53:14,511
That's analyzed in the

4993
02:53:14,511 --> 02:53:16,911
environmental Impact report as

4994
02:53:17,448 --> 02:53:19,651
well. And so several months

4995
02:53:19,651 --> 02:53:20,317
following the council's action

4996
02:53:20,317 --> 02:53:21,519
on our General Plan update

4997
02:53:21,519 --> 02:53:22,120
will be bringing forward the

4998
02:53:22,120 --> 02:53:22,754
missing middle housing

4999
02:53:22,754 --> 02:53:24,555
ordinance. And so you'll

5000
02:53:24,555 --> 02:53:25,923
receive a full a presentation

5001
02:53:25,923 --> 02:53:29,523
on that project later on in

5002
02:53:29,794 --> 02:53:31,794
the summer.

5003
02:53:33,630 --> 02:53:35,266
>> MR. Donald. Thank you,

5004
02:53:35,266 --> 02:53:36,467
Mayor, thank you for your

5005
02:53:36,467 --> 02:53:37,802
presentation. And and just

5006
02:53:37,802 --> 02:53:40,270
your thorough job of taking us

5007
02:53:40,270 --> 02:53:40,972
through. This just well done

5008
02:53:40,972 --> 02:53:43,972
tonight. I did quick question

5009
02:53:44,709 --> 02:53:45,810
on the arena numbers. And

5010
02:53:45,810 --> 02:53:47,110
understand those numbers are

5011
02:53:47,110 --> 02:53:47,746
set for Monday, different

5012
02:53:47,746 --> 02:53:48,546
entity, but because of the

5013
02:53:48,546 --> 02:53:50,946
high cost of construction

5014
02:53:52,349 --> 02:53:53,184
right now on the impending

5015
02:53:53,184 --> 02:53:56,184
potential of the increase of

5016
02:53:57,222 --> 02:53:58,490
another, maybe 2025%. And in

5017
02:53:58,490 --> 02:54:00,325
and construction. Do we have

5018
02:54:00,325 --> 02:54:00,991
any concerns that perhaps

5019
02:54:00,991 --> 02:54:02,427
we're not gonna be able to

5020
02:54:02,427 --> 02:54:04,827
make those numbers simply

5021
02:54:05,363 --> 02:54:06,331
because developers and

5022
02:54:06,331 --> 02:54:07,332
builders are being priced out

5023
02:54:07,332 --> 02:54:07,933
of the market to be able to

5024
02:54:07,933 --> 02:54:10,933
qualify for some of our

5025
02:54:12,904 --> 02:54:13,638
affordable housing.

5026
02:54:13,638 --> 02:54:14,739
>> Yeah, that's a really tough

5027
02:54:14,739 --> 02:54:16,730
question because the city is

5028
02:54:16,730 --> 02:54:17,108
not a developer. We rely on

5029
02:54:17,108 --> 02:54:19,508
the development community to

5030
02:54:21,460 --> 02:54:21,747
come to us with their projects

5031
02:54:21,747 --> 02:54:24,616
so we can process them. We're

5032
02:54:24,616 --> 02:54:27,160
doing actually. Pretty well

5033
02:54:29,687 --> 02:54:32,687
with above moderate. But even

5034
02:54:32,757 --> 02:54:33,992
if we got access units beyond

5035
02:54:33,992 --> 02:54:34,693
what's required by the state,

5036
02:54:34,693 --> 02:54:37,693
it doesn't count towards any

5037
02:54:41,320 --> 02:54:42,301
of our arena. So

5038
02:54:42,301 --> 02:54:43,335
>> Megan. Do have those? And

5039
02:54:43,335 --> 02:54:44,569
just the you know, do they

5040
02:54:44,569 --> 02:54:45,337
make those adjustments? Megan

5041
02:54:45,337 --> 02:54:48,173
has received like a reduction

5042
02:54:48,173 --> 02:54:48,607
because it just looking at the

5043
02:54:48,607 --> 02:54:49,875
numbers from.

5044
02:54:49,875 --> 02:54:52,875
>> Your prior to this year

5045
02:54:52,978 --> 02:54:54,579
2024, it was quite shift. I

5046
02:54:54,579 --> 02:54:55,314
have not seen an adjustment in

5047
02:54:55,314 --> 02:54:57,149
prior years. It's it's part of

5048
02:54:57,149 --> 02:54:58,549
our buildings cycle that we go

5049
02:54:58,549 --> 02:55:00,619
through. And as say that in

5050
02:55:00,619 --> 02:55:01,653
addition to what we've seen in

5051
02:55:01,653 --> 02:55:03,589
the permitting, we're also

5052
02:55:03,589 --> 02:55:05,624
going to experience a decrease

5053
02:55:05,624 --> 02:55:06,291
in funding for the past years.

5054
02:55:06,291 --> 02:55:08,460
We've had an unprecedented

5055
02:55:08,460 --> 02:55:09,161
resources that have come to us

5056
02:55:09,161 --> 02:55:11,296
through the disaster recovery

5057
02:55:11,296 --> 02:55:13,365
money through additional tax

5058
02:55:13,365 --> 02:55:15,300
credits, robust money at the

5059
02:55:15,300 --> 02:55:16,100
state. So we're going to see

5060
02:55:16,100 --> 02:55:16,969
some of that will become more

5061
02:55:16,969 --> 02:55:19,704
difficult to build units. But

5062
02:55:19,704 --> 02:55:21,340
we do have several projects

5063
02:55:21,340 --> 02:55:22,741
that are currently in our

5064
02:55:22,741 --> 02:55:23,342
pipeline that the housing

5065
02:55:23,342 --> 02:55:25,342
Authority has provided

5066
02:55:26,578 --> 02:55:27,246
pre-development funding for

5067
02:55:27,246 --> 02:55:28,470
are actively competing for

5068
02:55:28,470 --> 02:55:28,747
funding and they also have

5069
02:55:28,747 --> 02:55:29,982
resources that are available

5070
02:55:29,982 --> 02:55:33,351
through the red that they can

5071
02:55:33,351 --> 02:55:34,286
Were. We're going to keep

5072
02:55:34,286 --> 02:55:34,987
pushing on the affordable

5073
02:55:34,987 --> 02:55:35,721
projects and hope that we can

5074
02:55:35,721 --> 02:55:38,721
get some better competitive at

5075
02:55:39,190 --> 02:55:42,190
the state level for funding

5076
02:55:43,362 --> 02:55:44,229
through hcd tax credits Ponce.

5077
02:55:44,229 --> 02:55:44,897
Thank you so much. I

5078
02:55:44,897 --> 02:55:45,597
appreciate that. And again,

5079
02:55:45,597 --> 02:55:47,933
the for the presentation and

5080
02:55:47,933 --> 02:55:49,902
night.

5081
02:55:49,902 --> 02:55:51,237
>> That will open up the

5082
02:55:51,237 --> 02:55:51,971
public comment. Are there any

5083
02:55:51,971 --> 02:55:55,571
members of the public here was

5084
02:55:55,908 --> 02:55:56,608
make public comment? Seeing

5085
02:55:56,608 --> 02:55:59,608
none that bring about council

5086
02:56:02,315 --> 02:56:04,884
for any any final Ocean. City

5087
02:56:04,884 --> 02:56:05,618
manager, mayor packages have

5088
02:56:05,618 --> 02:56:08,180
some clarification. Sheila and

5089
02:56:09,121 --> 02:56:09,788
Amy, thank you for a job. Well

5090
02:56:09,788 --> 02:56:11,957
Director and city attorneys

5091
02:56:11,957 --> 02:56:12,825
office. Thank you for a job.

5092
02:56:12,825 --> 02:56:15,695
Well done as we move to an

5093
02:56:15,695 --> 02:56:16,362
update on the general plan.

5094
02:56:16,362 --> 02:56:18,331
But oftentimes when we talk

5095
02:56:18,331 --> 02:56:21,331
about the missing middle, I

5096
02:56:22,902 --> 02:56:23,603
believe some people. When a

5097
02:56:23,603 --> 02:56:26,603
am. I were talking about 120

5098
02:56:28,541 --> 02:56:29,375
are 140 percent. Am I so Amy,

5099
02:56:29,375 --> 02:56:32,780
can you provide just a little

5100
02:56:32,780 --> 02:56:32,745
bit more clarification on what

5101
02:56:32,745 --> 02:56:35,145
actually the definition of

5102
02:56:37,583 --> 02:56:40,552
missing middle is. Sure. Thank

5103
02:56:40,552 --> 02:56:41,421
you very much for the

5104
02:56:41,421 --> 02:56:43,220
question.

5105
02:56:43,220 --> 02:56:46,622
>> And that is true that there

5106
02:56:47,260 --> 02:56:47,694
are some conversations that

5107
02:56:47,694 --> 02:56:48,895
convey that missing middle

5108
02:56:48,895 --> 02:56:49,629
housing might relate to

5109
02:56:49,629 --> 02:56:50,329
affordability or deed

5110
02:56:50,329 --> 02:56:52,329
restricted affordability. And

5111
02:56:53,650 --> 02:56:57,265
that is not the case for what

5112
02:56:57,804 --> 02:56:58,505
the city has been working on.

5113
02:56:58,505 --> 02:56:59,839
It oftentimes because missing

5114
02:56:59,839 --> 02:57:01,400
middle housing units are

5115
02:57:01,400 --> 02:57:03,776
smaller in size. I think they

5116
02:57:03,776 --> 02:57:05,776
typically average around 1000

5117
02:57:06,120 --> 02:57:07,800
square feet. They MAY be more

5118
02:57:07,800 --> 02:57:08,948
affordable to additional

5119
02:57:08,948 --> 02:57:10,450
households, but they're not

5120
02:57:10,450 --> 02:57:11,840
required by any sort of local

5121
02:57:11,840 --> 02:57:11,717
or state agreement to be

5122
02:57:11,717 --> 02:57:13,717
restricted to affordable

5123
02:57:17,958 --> 02:57:18,458
household.

5124
02:57:18,458 --> 02:57:19,191
>> Thank you. The

5125
02:57:19,191 --> 02:57:21,591
clarification. Any other final

5126
02:57:23,229 --> 02:57:25,298
comments, MR. Thank you, MR.

5127
02:57:25,298 --> 02:57:26,366
Mayor, that the Spurs kind of

5128
02:57:26,366 --> 02:57:28,368
question in my mind would

5129
02:57:28,368 --> 02:57:30,270
missing middle also include

5130
02:57:30,270 --> 02:57:31,571
any sort of incentives to

5131
02:57:31,571 --> 02:57:32,639
build condos or townhomes to

5132
02:57:32,639 --> 02:57:34,374
create some sort of ownership

5133
02:57:34,374 --> 02:57:35,308
latter. So you're not going

5134
02:57:35,308 --> 02:57:36,710
from renting.

5135
02:57:36,710 --> 02:57:38,378
>> To a single-family detached

5136
02:57:38,378 --> 02:57:39,579
home. But there's somewhere in

5137
02:57:39,579 --> 02:57:43,216
between as well as a step down

5138
02:57:43,216 --> 02:57:43,817
the ladder not to go from.

5139
02:57:43,817 --> 02:57:44,550
>> Only a single-family

5140
02:57:44,550 --> 02:57:45,284
detached home down to renting,

5141
02:57:45,284 --> 02:57:48,284
but something smaller that you

5142
02:57:49,550 --> 02:57:50,457
can still maintain yourself.

5143
02:57:50,457 --> 02:57:52,250
>> Thank you for the question.

5144
02:57:52,250 --> 02:57:52,759
And this is actually a

5145
02:57:52,759 --> 02:57:54,610
question that we've heard from

5146
02:57:54,610 --> 02:57:55,662
our community recently as

5147
02:57:55,662 --> 02:57:58,620
well. The missing middle

5148
02:57:59,666 --> 02:58:01,340
housing ordinance does include

5149
02:58:01,340 --> 02:58:02,569
an option for townhomes, but

5150
02:58:02,569 --> 02:58:05,569
it doesn't speak to ownership

5151
02:58:06,720 --> 02:58:07,730
specifically. And so in order

5152
02:58:07,730 --> 02:58:11,273
for if if we were looking at

5153
02:58:12,145 --> 02:58:13,981
condominiums, for example, the

5154
02:58:13,981 --> 02:58:16,183
process to subdivided have a

5155
02:58:16,183 --> 02:58:17,840
condo is it said a separate

5156
02:58:17,840 --> 02:58:17,818
process from what the missing

5157
02:58:17,818 --> 02:58:19,352
middle housing ordinance would

5158
02:58:19,352 --> 02:58:21,752
approve, which is essentially

5159
02:58:23,724 --> 02:58:24,458
a planning approval. So that

5160
02:58:24,458 --> 02:58:26,693
specifically is not considered

5161
02:58:26,693 --> 02:58:28,762
in the ordinance, but again,

5162
02:58:28,762 --> 02:58:29,763
the ordinance would allow for

5163
02:58:29,763 --> 02:58:30,531
townhomes. That would be like

5164
02:58:30,531 --> 02:58:33,433
a single unit and it could be

5165
02:58:33,433 --> 02:58:34,601
attached on smaller lots. And

5166
02:58:34,601 --> 02:58:38,201
so the incentive is that the

5167
02:58:38,271 --> 02:58:39,239
process is streamlined and

5168
02:58:39,239 --> 02:58:41,441
you're also able to build out

5169
02:58:41,441 --> 02:58:42,142
a higher density than you

5170
02:58:42,142 --> 02:58:42,843
would otherwise be allowed to

5171
02:58:42,843 --> 02:58:44,110
if you are not following this

5172
02:58:44,110 --> 02:58:46,110
missing middle housing

5173
02:58:51,385 --> 02:58:52,319
standard or set of standards.

5174
02:58:52,319 --> 02:58:54,521
>> All right. I just add my

5175
02:58:54,521 --> 02:58:55,623
thanks as well. This is

5176
02:58:55,623 --> 02:58:57,625
enormous amount of information

5177
02:58:57,625 --> 02:58:58,425
very, very simply presented.

5178
02:58:58,425 --> 02:59:00,427
And it really did speak to the

5179
02:59:00,427 --> 02:59:01,695
incredible range of activities

5180
02:59:01,695 --> 02:59:02,630
that city staff is involved

5181
02:59:02,630 --> 02:59:03,364
Thank you for late. Think

5182
02:59:03,364 --> 02:59:04,665
thank you for presenting thank

5183
02:59:04,665 --> 02:59:06,166
you for laying it out in this

5184
02:59:06,166 --> 02:59:09,766
way. And with that been with

5185
02:59:14,808 --> 02:59:15,876
are the great promotion.

5186
02:59:15,876 --> 02:59:18,179
