[5:10] of you here tonight and wish to address the council on the

[5:12] development updates of the tustin legacy, we will be

[5:35] any requests to speak? Anybody in person? Okay. We will move

[5:37] on to closed session report. Mr. City attorney.

[5:41] >> the city council took no

[5:44] reportable action.

[5:47] >> thank you, sir. We will next

[5:48] move to regular business. We have one item tonight which is

[5:52] the development updates from the former marine corps air

[5:56] station in tustin property

[5:57] recipients. All of the development partners out here

[6:01] on the base that you drive by and see on a daily basis. This

[6:05] is the third of these meetings

[6:06] we've had in the last five years or so. We're trying to do

[6:08] it on an annual basis, so

[6:10] tonight you will hear some updates of where we've been in

[6:13] last 12 months and what we have left to do. I will give it to

[6:15] the city manager, aldo schindler.

[6:20] >> thank you, mayor and

[6:21] council. It's a pleasure to be here to provide further

[6:23] background on the item and

[6:25] introduce all of our partners this evening. We are excited to

[6:28] host this meeting at flight. One of the success stories of

[6:31] our aformer marine corps air station tustin redevelopment.

[6:34] thank you to my city team and especially the city clerk's

[6:37] office for coordinating logistics tonight. The local

[6:40] reuse authority is one of the many hats the city wears. This

[6:43] federal designation gives the city responsibility for leading

[6:47] the reuse planning and implementation of the former

[6:50] marine corps air station at tustin. From 2002 until

[6:53] february 2021 the local reuse

[6:56] authority did not hold any

[6:58] formal meetings. That changed when the city council invited

[7:01] all of its development partners to share updates on their

[7:04] projects and progress. Following another local reuse

[7:06] authority meeting in 2024 the city council directed staff to

[7:11] hold annual local reuse

[7:12] authority meetings to provide the community with updates from

[7:15] the city and its partners on developing progress. These

[7:21] annual meetings are just one part of the larger dialogue the

[7:23] city and community have

[7:25] embarked on together to shape the future of tustin legacy.

[7:29] the ongoing conversations help ensure development reflects our

[7:32] shared vision and priorities

[7:34] for this important part of tustin's future. For anyone who

[7:35] is interested in hearing more

[7:38] about that process and upcoming

[7:40] outreach events, our outreach team has a booth in the open

[7:44] house after this meeting and

[7:45] can answer any of your questions. For tonight's

[7:47] meeting the city has invited

[7:49] all the agencies that participate in the 2021 and

[7:53] 2024 meetings to join us again.

[7:55] after the presentation portion of the meeting, there will be

[7:58] an open house where you can be the presenters and other

[8:00] stakeholders, ask questions, and get more information. The

[8:02] organizations you will hear

[8:07] from tonight and meet later at the open house are the public

[8:08] agencies or nonprofits that

[8:11] oversee specific types of

[8:12] development projects in line with the reuse plan and a

[8:17] specific plan for tustin legacy. We also have a special

[8:20] guest. George schlossberg, who

[8:23] has been involved since 1991.

[8:26] when the marine corps air station base closure

[8:28] discussions first began. His presentation will look back at

[8:29] how the city became a local

[8:32] reuse authority and highlight

[8:34] key milestones when the city strategically navigated

[8:38] challenges to create the opportunities that we see today

[8:41] at the tustin legacy. The city

[8:44] and our partners will share

[8:47] updates on current and planned development of the remaining

[8:50] property at the tustin legacy.

[8:52] following each presentation the council will have the

[8:53] opportunity to ask questions or

[8:56] seek clarification on any part

[8:59] of that presentation. The public will have an opportunity

[9:01] to comment once all the presentations have been made.

[9:04] the order of the presentations tonight will be george

[9:07] schlossberg, the city special counsel regarding land-use

[9:11] reuse authority at â€" attorneys

[9:13] at law, the orange county rescue mission, the south

[9:16] orange county community college district, rancho santiago

[9:19] community college district, tustin unified school district

[9:20] and the last presentation by

[9:23] the city of tustin. Once the

[9:26] city presentation is concluded, I will then turn it back to the

[9:29] mayor for general council

[9:31] comments and public comments. With that, I would like to

[9:32] invite george schlossberg to

[9:33] come up and give his presentation.

[9:38] >>while george is coming up,

[9:39] just to reiterate what the city manager said. There will be a

[9:43] lot of content thrown at you all and at the council for the

[9:44] next hour and a half to two

[9:46] hours and then you have an opportunity to address the

[9:49] council formally at the microphone. If you don't want

[9:52] to do that, there's an open house afterwards and you can

[9:56] talk to us more informally. I know it can be nerve-racking,

[9:57] especially with the spotlights.

[10:00] george.

[10:08] >> mayor, members of the council, and members of the

[10:12] public, aldo, thank you for the

[10:15] invitation. It has been a long

[10:17] run for me and the city since the department of defense

[10:21] decided to close marine corps

[10:24] air station tustin. As aldo

[10:26] indicated, I've been working with the city since the

[10:30] original closure decision has

[10:32] been made -- was made by the federal government in 1991. I

[10:41] come sort of this by way of penance. In the sense that I

[10:45] assisted the city and others. I

[10:48] was the first base closure

[10:51] counsel for the secretary's

[10:54] office and at that time we assured communities throughout

[10:57] the country that this base

[11:00] closure process would be short, would be simple, and in three

[11:03] years nobody would ever

[11:06] remember that the process had been undertaken, and that is

[11:14] where the word penance comes in, of course, because not one

[11:15] of the things that we testified

[11:18] to the congress about ever came

[11:21] about, which is why all these

[11:23] many years later we are back here. The base closure process

[11:27] is complex. It involves â€" and I

[11:29] will discuss this later â€" these are the largest

[11:33] contiguous parcels of land in

[11:36] the lower 48 that have been

[11:39] available for redevelopment in

[11:42] communities in the last

[11:45] century. And the federal

[11:48] government was not terribly

[11:51] prepared or geared -- they were

[11:52] prepared to close the base, relocate the military

[11:56] activities, but actually dispose and redevelop the land,

[12:00] that was something that was

[12:03] beyond our ken at the time.

[12:09] from a community viewpoint,

[12:12] although these opportunities

[12:15] for cities, states, counties,

[12:18] the local land-use entities to

[12:21] really reimagine the future of

[12:24] their communities because the

[12:27] marine corps air station tustin

[12:30] was 1600 acres in the heart of

[12:32] your city, portions of it in the city of irvine, and it

[12:36] represented a vibrant part of

[12:39] the community. It was an

[12:41] economic engine for the community. Everyone here has no

[12:48] doubt seen the giant hangars

[12:51] that the navy built during

[12:54] world war ii... The base housed

[13:00] the sailors and marines that

[13:03] marched off to world war ii,

[13:06] vietnam, korea, and many other

[13:09] conflicts. And so to actually

[13:12] have the base close, the

[13:18] communities relocated, is both

[13:21] an opportunity and a jolt. But

[13:24] the land itself located where

[13:27] it is, is a tremendous

[13:30] opportunity. It is a uniquely

[13:33] valuable asset, particularly

[13:36] here in tustin. Not all base closure property, some in the

[13:39] desert, some in the mountains,

[13:42] is equally valuable for

[13:45] redevelopment. But this

[13:48] property here, as you know, is

[13:49] uniquely valuable. How did we get to this process?

[13:56] for those of us who lived in the pentagon at that period of

[14:00] time, the world changed in

[14:03] 1990. We were gearing up to

[14:09] fight the cold war, the wall came down, the cold war is

[14:12] over, and the u.s. Government

[14:15] looked at the expenditures, the forestructure and the base

[14:18] structure and made a decision,

[14:21] an all-of-government decision

[14:24] to essentially change the way

[14:27] that the defense department had

[14:30] been structured. And there were

[14:33] political debates, there were discussions, and the base

[14:36] closure process, which was a

[14:39] selection process, probably is not really relevant here now,

[14:42] but it was a very public, open

[14:45] process where bases were racked

[14:48] and stacked against each other

[14:51] and selected for closure. But

[14:56] at the end of the day, when a base was closed, the federal

[15:00] government was then left with

[15:02] the decision what to do with the land because it was

[15:06] federally owned land. Some of it was exclusive federal

[15:09] jurisdiction, some of it was

[15:12] within the cities and from land-use control was controlled

[15:15] by the cities, but most, if not

[15:18] all -- not all, but most of it

[15:20] was utterly exclusive jurisdiction and could be done

[15:24] with as the federal government decided. In 1991 when the base

[15:30] closure commission first

[15:33] decided to close marine corps

[15:36] air station tustin, the city of

[15:39] tustin did not support it,

[15:42] didn't oppose it, was very

[15:45] concerned and very active in

[15:48] the role with the department of

[15:51] the navy, the department of the marine corps, the base closure

[15:54] commission, the defense

[15:56] department, your congressional delegations, as to what to do

[16:00] with it. But ultimately the

[16:03] commission adopted the recommendations of the

[16:06] department and said close the

[16:08] base. There have been five rounds of base closures. 1988,

[16:12] 1991, 1993, 1995, 2005. After 1991 it was a foregone

[16:15] conclusion that as a matter of

[16:18] law marine corps air station

[16:22] must close. However, in 1993,

[16:25] the navy did something

[16:27] unprecedented in the base closure world. They went back

[16:31] to the 1993 commission and

[16:34] said, do not close marine corps

[16:37] air station tustin. We made a

[16:39] mistake, the structure for a variety of reasons we need the

[16:45] runways at marine corps air station tustin. At that point

[16:49] the city of tustin was well

[16:52] into the planning process

[16:55] deciding what could be done,

[16:57] what could be benefited here in the city. What are the uses

[17:01] that the land could be put to.

[17:04] and the city -- just like the

[17:06] navy made an unprecedented decision â€" the city made an

[17:10] unprecedented decision in that

[17:13] the city appeared -- we all

[17:15] appeared before the base closure commission and said

[17:19] stay the course. We were not

[17:22] happy when you made the first decision, but we have decided

[17:24] to live with it. Close the base. And over the objections

[17:28] of the defense department and the navy the base closure

[17:31] commission kept the base

[17:34] closed, so that book was closed

[17:37] in 1993, and as a matter of law

[17:40] the closure was mandated. That

[17:49] gets to the question of what happens. It was a drawn out

[17:52] process of actually closing the

[17:55] base, draw down the

[17:57] forestructure, relocating the military assets, and the land

[18:04] was, you know, was vacant. At

[18:07] that time for the first three

[18:09] rounds of base closures, '88, '91, and '93, the federal

[18:13] government had no comprehensive

[18:16] disposal process for these large parcels of land. The

[18:19] federal disposal process, you

[18:22] know, borne out of the surplus equipment of world war ii was

[18:25] used selling jeeps and surplus

[18:28] military vehicles and didn't

[18:31] have the â€" really the ability

[18:34] or the planning capability to plan for the economic

[18:40] revitalization. And the congress insisted that the

[18:45] reuse of the land be used to replace lost jobs. The statute

[18:51] mandated job generation to replace the jobs that the

[18:55] community lost. I mean, many

[18:58] communities, they were economic

[19:01] engine was ripped out and it

[19:04] was very difficult to recover.

[19:07] in 1993 the city of tustin,

[19:10] together with several other

[19:13] cities, we banded together with the association of defense

[19:16] communities and proposed

[19:19] legislation to the congress to establish a comprehensive base

[19:25] closure disposal process that would put the communities in

[19:28] charge. Whoever was the

[19:31] land-use jurisdiction that

[19:32] would inherit the land when the military was gone, would guide

[19:37] and govern how the disposal process would take place. And

[19:43] there were two seminal parts of

[19:46] that. One is, we created a

[19:49] federal entity called a local

[19:52] redevelopment authority, that

[19:55] the local city or county or

[19:58] state, could petition to

[20:01] become. The city of tustin was

[20:04] the first lra to step forward

[20:07] volunteered to become an lra and they were recognized by the

[20:10] secretary of defense as a local

[20:13] redevelopment authority for

[20:16] marine corps air station tustin. There are

[20:19] responsibilities that come with

[20:22] an lra. The lra is obligated to put together a comprehensive

[20:25] plan for the entirety of the

[20:28] base that balances the needs of

[20:31] the community, economic

[20:34] development, homeless needs,

[20:40] schools, parks, recreation, and all of community must be there

[20:46] and it is a balancing activity that was reviewed by agencies

[20:52] of the federal government, the department of health and human

[20:55] services had to review the plan

[20:58] and approve it. The department of housing and urban

[21:01] development, hud, had to review and approve the plan. On the

[21:04] screen is the initial plan

[21:10] designed by the city of tustin

[21:13] for the reuse balancing and

[21:16] during that balancing process the city entertained

[21:19] applications from entities,

[21:24] public entities, local school districts. We would like to put

[21:28] an elementary school, high

[21:31] school, middle school, park

[21:34] recreation, the county applied

[21:38] for property, it could not all be enough by public uses

[21:40] because we had to provide a

[21:43] sufficient number of jobs to

[21:46] replace those that had been

[21:56] lost. Ultimately, the city put

[22:02] together a plan, but in order

[22:05] to implement that plan, it has

[22:08] to go through the nepa process

[22:11] the ceqa process that you are

[22:14] familiar with and the city

[22:17] agreed to undertake both the

[22:19] federal process, nepa, as opposed to having the federal

[22:23] government do it and the

[22:25] california process, ceqa, and it was a joint nepa/ceqa study

[22:32] to do that. And it was a

[22:35] one-of-a-kind, first of a kind,

[22:37] funded by the department of defense through oea grants.

[22:41] as I indicated, the new federal

[22:47] disposal law not only created

[22:50] local redevelopment authorities, it also gave the

[22:53] communities an opportunity to

[22:56] acquire the property and

[23:02] implement that vision. Because once the plan is done, it is

[23:05] still federal land. So all you

[23:07] have is a land-use plan owned by the federal government. How

[23:12] do you implement that? And, again, the federal government

[23:16] was used to auctioning the property. So the initial vision

[23:20] was you planned it, we now put it on the auction block -- 1100

[23:26] acres to the high bidder. And

[23:31] that was not a very - a good way to make a plan as complex

[23:37] as the tustin reuse plan into reality. So the second thing

[23:38] that the community

[23:41] redevelopment act that new

[23:42] statute that we helped to author, the city helped the

[23:47] author, allows for thing called

[23:52] an economic development conveyance. That is the

[23:53] government will convey the

[23:56] property to the lra and only

[23:59] the lra and on a sole-source

[24:02] basis, and the lra is obligated

[24:05] as a matter of law to implement its plan. You put together the

[24:08] plan, we will give you the

[24:11] opportunity to actually put

[24:14] that plan into effect. Now, the

[24:20] federal government is not in

[24:23] the business of giving away valuable assets. I think people

[24:29] here in this area are aware of

[24:32] the value of land, and there

[24:35] were very very long

[24:38] negotiations between the city

[24:41] and the navy and the department

[24:47] of defense as to how to achieve the plan, fulfill the vision

[24:50] that hud had approved, that hhs

[24:53] had approved, dod had approved, that the city had proffered,

[24:56] and still financed the

[24:58] infrastructure and everything else necessary to make that

[25:04] plan become a reality. And there are various different

[25:08] mechanisms. The city chose

[25:11] something that I think is

[25:14] probably most beneficial. And

[25:17] that is, the city essentially carved out a portion of the

[25:20] base and let the federal

[25:22] government with the city's plan zoning and entitlement sell

[25:30] that and the city acquired the rest of the property at no cost

[25:32] for development. Going to the

[25:41] future there are opportunities

[25:47] for a new planning as we

[25:53] understand. Not all of the

[25:55] property that is to come to the city by way of the economic

[25:58] development conveyance agreement has, in fact, been --

[26:04] the federal government is obligated to remediate property

[26:08] under various federal environment statutes before

[26:11] they can sign a deed. So that

[26:13] property, which was remediated, was conveyed to the city by

[26:17] deed. That property which was

[26:18] not then remediated and some of which is still not remediated,

[26:23] was conveyed by a long-term lease. Some of the

[26:26] property at the former base is

[26:29] owned by the city, some of it

[26:32] is leased to the city. Some of it, however, was not part of

[26:38] the edc agreement. The south

[26:41] hangar is â€" was part of the

[26:44] original edc conveyance. It has

[26:47] not been remediated. It has

[26:50] been leased to the city. The

[26:53] city has custody and control of

[26:56] the property. The north hangar,

[26:59] the one that burned down, was not part of the edc agreement.

[27:02] the city never took control of

[27:04] that property, never took custody of that property, had

[27:08] no legal rights to the property. But under the reuse

[27:11] plan that property was

[27:14] originally slated to become a

[27:17] county regional park. The county applied for the

[27:20] property, they were going to establish a regional county

[27:21] park, which the city approved

[27:23] their application in the reuse

[27:27] plan. But over the years the

[27:29] county had changed its plan and they withdrew that application,

[27:33] so that 87 acres where the

[27:36] north hangar burned down is not

[27:42] planned currently. Within the

[27:44] federal process for the reuse plan. It is planned as a county

[27:47] regional park but there is no one to implement that vision.

[27:52] so one of the things that the city is now able to do is, as

[27:57] the local redevelopment authority, is to recast the

[28:03] vision for that 87-acre parcel

[28:06] of property. The city still

[28:08] retains its role as the lra that was granted to the city

[28:12] over 20 years ago. You have the

[28:15] ability to revisit the plan,

[28:18] open the plan, and once that is

[28:21] done, then the property will be

[28:23] available for disposal by the navy because the reuse plan is

[28:27] a necessary precondition under

[28:36] the base closure act. I think

[28:39] that is it. That is all. For

[28:42] those that will be interested

[28:45] in actually the process of

[28:48] getting from there to here, I

[28:55] guess I am at one of the booths out there for later questions.

[28:57] where you have out there the actual contract between the

[29:00] city and the federal

[29:03] government, which is something

[29:06] that we needed several people

[29:09] to have clarity in. Thank you.

[29:12] >> I did want to make an

[29:13] observation. The way we've set up the room it seems that

[29:15] george was presenting to you

[29:18] but he was presenting to the

[29:20] local reuse authority, which is the city council, so when he

[29:24] says the nepa/ceqa process

[29:25] which you are familiar with, he was talking to us and not you.

[29:29] if you are not familiar with that, that's why it landed

[29:33] differently and I wanted to

[29:34] make a point that you at the end of your comments was

[29:36] talking about the county

[29:38] application for the regional park. To put a finer point, as

[29:42] we started our deliberations

[29:45] for the two lra meetings go

[29:47] which was 2021, we engaged with the county and in the process

[29:51] we revoked our approval of the

[29:53] county park plan because we knew they didn't have any money

[29:55] to build it. And they were not going to build it. So there is

[29:59] not going to be currently a county park there. If the

[30:00] county wants to come back and

[30:02] engage the lra and say they want to build a regional park,

[30:03] that's something we can talk

[30:05] about and that's the process george was talking about that

[30:08] we need a plan to the 85 acres around the north hangar.

[30:11] there's a misnomer out there. I think a lot of people think the

[30:12] county owns the land or the

[30:14] county is going to build regional park. That is no

[30:18] longer the plan approved by the lra. Do we have questions for

[30:21] george or comments?

[30:23] >> just a quick question. Does the association of the defense

[30:27] community still exist?

[30:29] >> yes, it does exist. I am the general counsel.

[30:33] >> perfect.

[30:42] >> you hinted at the beginning

[30:45] with your penance and given the

[30:48] answer from council member nelson I assume that everybody

[30:51] who had base closure in the

[30:54] 1980s â€" or the 1990s, I guess the 1980s and 1990s are most

[30:57] localities still dealing with

[31:03] it like we are? I don't think

[31:04] that we are an outlier, if I'm understanding what you've

[31:06] presented.

[31:07] >> you're absolutely not an

[31:12] outlier. There are still

[31:15] communities today that have not

[31:18] yet negotiated an edc agreement

[31:21] that are still negotiating to get their purchase and sales

[31:26] agreement, and with regard to the actual conveyance to

[31:30] property, I mean, it's no

[31:32] secret that former military installation property is

[31:39] heavily contaminated. So -- not much -- many â€" a large

[31:42] percentage of the land area has

[31:45] not been conveyed even if there is a purchase deal. It is under

[31:48] [ inaudible ]

[31:51] >> something to follow up

[31:54] related. There is a santa ana

[31:57] air force base, which is now the orange county fairgrounds.

[32:04] but they seem to have moved more quickly to take over that

[32:09] space. I think that closed years ahead of time. Was it

[32:12] just in a different day and age or different environmental

[32:15] concerns and regulations. I

[32:18] think probably a lot of postwar

[32:20] facilities throughout the country had a similar process.

[32:26] >> there is a lot of history, but the basic answer is that

[32:36] the department of defense closed many bases after world

[32:39] war ii. And congress stepped in

[32:42] and passed a law precluding

[32:45] closures unless they went to a

[32:48] very detailed process. So those

[32:51] that were slated for closure

[32:54] before that process were

[32:56] disposed of very quickly without community input unless

[33:00] they requested it. Afterwards

[33:03] there was a detailed plan and

[33:06] there is currently a statute

[33:09] that precludes any closures

[33:12] absent an act of congress or

[33:15] going through the process. There

[33:17] were two presidential vetoes, I think, president carter

[33:18] president ford vetoed the

[33:21] budget at two separate times over that very issue of closing

[33:24] bases.

[33:26] >> additional comments and questions?

[33:30] >> thank you very much for that walk down memory lane. I

[33:33] appreciate it. Very complex a

[33:35] lot of twists and turns. The south hangar I think all this

[33:37] on the city council get a lot of questions from our

[33:39] constituents about the south

[33:42] hangar. There's an emotional connection, but can you talk a

[33:45] little bit more about the

[33:48] process of remediation and what

[33:52] the process is around, is it

[33:55] every 2 to 3 years, the navy will take a look and see where

[33:57] we are with remediation and come back and say, yes, we can

[34:01] finally convey that property to

[34:02] the city to develop or you need to wait another 2 to 3 years.

[34:04] can you just give a little more

[34:07] background on that?

[34:09] >> the federal government is obligated to remediate.

[34:13] remediate is not necessarily

[34:16] cleanup. They have to render it

[34:18] safe for human health and the environment. And that could be

[34:20] done with land-use restrictions, or, in fact,

[34:25] physical work to render it â€" to

[34:28] remove the contaminants and at

[34:31] the time that they do the

[34:34] conveyance, they do an

[34:36] environmental analysis of the property and decide and

[34:40] determine what is necessary to

[34:43] clean it up -- to remediate it to the standards that you set

[34:48] in your reuse plan. Then, it's a matter of implementing that.

[34:52] sometimes if it's a groundwater

[34:55] issue, it may take 20 years to pump and treat and you cannot

[34:57] convey until the system is operating properly and

[34:58] successfully.

[35:04] it is a matter of money, as a

[35:06] candid issue. Each year the defense department asks for a

[35:10] certain amount of money for

[35:13] environmental remediation on

[35:23] bases it no longer operates. That is viewed by the

[35:24] defense department as money out of their hide that does not buy

[35:26] bullets and ships. It is not a very heavily-funded account.

[35:31] and that money is spread across

[35:34] all base closure properties and

[35:37] across the country in all the

[35:40] states in all the areas. It is

[35:43] a matter of triage. And I know

[35:46] in meetings with the navy and

[35:48] others meeting with the navy and army and air force, you

[35:52] know, you get a schedule that

[35:55] says you are on the 2037 budget.

[35:58] >> thank you. Additional

[36:01] comments for george?

[36:04] >> I know the city of tustin

[36:05] will present at the end of the six partner presentations, and

[36:07] I think a lot of our questions

[36:10] will be around that property. Thank you for the overview. One

[36:13] of my biggest takeaways is that

[36:19] maybe further [ inaudible ]

[36:20] there is a lot of property left to be developed, but it's very

[36:22] complicated. The city doesn't

[36:25] have a title of it yet. We are

[36:27] waiting on, as the councilmember schnell was just

[36:30] asking about, federal government remediation actions

[36:33] to take place before they can hand over the property. And

[36:37] then that which has already

[36:39] passed in fee to the city that the city owns, the city is

[36:42] taking action on and that's what we'll discuss later. In

[36:46] addition to that there's

[36:49] property that may be vacant and

[36:50] folks think the city controls it but our partners actually

[36:52] control it and that's what we're doing tonight is getting

[36:54] updates from those agencies took property back in the

[36:57] 1990s. Thank you, george. Its good to see you in person.

[37:00] george is usually in d.c. And we look at him on the screen

[37:03] like the wizard of oz and I appreciate you being here in

[37:04] person.

[37:07] next is the orange county

[37:10] rescue mission. Mr. Brian crain.

[37:25] >> all right. Thank you, mayor,

[37:28] mayor pro tem, counsel, city

[37:29] staff, residents. It's my honor and privilege to be here

[37:33] tonight. I was asked -- my name is brian crain, I'm the

[37:35] president of the orange county rescue mission and I was asked

[37:37] to give an update on our

[37:40] development and the work that

[37:49] has been done on our property, and here's the update. It was

[37:50] completed in 2008, and we have been operating for 17 years

[37:52] now. That said, people often

[37:55] ask me what actually happens

[37:58] there? I'm going to attempt --

[38:01] there we go. I'm going to spend

[38:03] -- I'm going to be brief. We are going to blaze through

[38:07] this. So it's not 30 minutes for all six partners. People

[38:10] drop off clothing donations at

[38:13] the rescue mission and they say what actually happens there,

[38:16] what goes on there? So it's my privilege to share in a few

[38:19] minutes what happens at the village of hope. The village of

[38:22] hope is a five-acre campus at

[38:25] the corner of redhill and

[38:28] valencia. We have the capacity for 387 beds and that is for

[38:34] men, women, and children, who are coming out of a crisis

[38:37] situation. That could be the

[38:40] sudden loss of a job, it could be a drug or alcohol addiction,

[38:43] it could be domestic violence

[38:51] situation, even a human trafficking situation. We are

[38:52] there to help people in these

[38:54] situations. We are a christian ministry and it's our goal to

[38:55] provide restoration, healing,

[39:00] hope, to the people that we serve and to equip them with

[39:03] the tools that they need to get back on their feet and to

[39:07] become financially self-sufficient again. When

[39:10] people come to the program they

[39:12] are making a commitment this is not an emergency overnight

[39:15] shelter. Generally people are with us for 18 to 24 months,

[39:19] and during that time they want

[39:21] access to counseling, sobriety coaching, vocational training,

[39:25] education, all on the road to

[39:31] financial self-sufficiency. We

[39:33] are one of the only, if not the only, program of our kind in

[39:37] orange county that a whole

[39:40] family can do together, and we are the only program of our

[39:43] kind, of our type of long

[39:47] transitional program, that

[39:48] allows for a single dad and his kids to go through the program.

[39:51] in fact, right now we have four single dads and their kids

[39:56] going through the program. So

[39:58] when people come into the program, like I said, it's not

[40:01] just food and clothing and shelter. We provide all kinds

[40:04] of services. One of the wonderful things about being on

[40:07] five acres is we have many services under one roof. People

[40:13] have access to a medical clinic, they have access to counseling

[40:16] every week with a licensed clinical social worker. We have

[40:18] a partner with trinity law school that allows for

[40:22] residents to have access to legal help. We have life skills

[40:26] classes where people learn

[40:29] about time management, resume

[40:30] building, personal finance, personal budgeting. We do a lot

[40:34] of vocational training, which I will talk about in the second

[40:38] and education is a very

[40:40] critical component. We offer every single adult that comes

[40:42] through our program the opportunity to earn their high

[40:45] school diploma, and that's through a long-standing

[40:47] relationship with tustin

[40:50] unified adult school, which has

[40:52] been a tremendous partner and a blessing to probably hundreds

[40:56] of our students at this point.

[40:59] so a vocational training is a

[41:01] key component. We want to launch people into careers; not

[41:04] just jobs. Listed on the screen are some of the vocational

[41:09] certificates people have pursued in the last few years or

[41:11] industries they gone in to. We

[41:13] also have great relationships with many employers in the city

[41:17] of tustin. Patterson auto,

[41:20] which owns tustin mazda and

[41:23] hyundai employs six of our

[41:29] graduates in sales. Auto tech,

[41:30] administrative, and sales. And we are proud to be partnered

[41:32] with employers in the city of

[41:34] tustin. Volunteers. We cannot do this without volunteers,

[41:37] which is why love standing in front of a group like this. If

[41:41] you have a group, and I don't

[41:44] care if it's your book group,

[41:46] your family, your church, your school, your business, we want

[41:50] to hear from you. We will be

[41:53] out at a table at the end of

[41:57] this and we want to talk to you. In

[41:59] the last year we logged 17,000

[42:02] individual hours -- 18,000

[42:08] individual hours. 27,000 group

[42:11] volunteer hours for a total of --

[42:20] 45,000 hours. We think that we provide a very

[42:21] robust rewarding opportunity for your group and there are

[42:22] countless organizations in the city of tustin who come and

[42:23] participate, and we are glad to

[42:24] have them, and we want to talk to you. The future of the

[42:29] village of hope. We are fully developed but I get every

[42:32] opportunity I can to say to the

[42:34] council that we do see an opportunity for next step

[42:38] housing for our program graduates. We will welcome the

[42:41] opportunity to develop another

[42:44] five acres on our dime to be

[42:47] able to provide independent, safe, affordable housing to the

[42:50] graduates of our program. And

[42:52] we would operate the way we do at the village of hope, which

[42:55] is 100% drug and alcohol free and we incorporate the elements

[42:59] of community and accountability that has made that program so

[43:02] successful. In closing, I want to thank the

[43:05] city of tustin for being such

[43:08] an amazing partner over many

[43:11] many years. We estimate that

[43:17] from 2008 when we opened until now

[43:18] that 3200 men, women and

[43:19] children have transitioned into stable housing by going through

[43:22] the village of hope. The city of tustin has been a tremendous

[43:25] partner both for the village of hope and the tustin veterans

[43:29] outpost that has former military veterans and their

[43:32] families. I would like to say that while we are the orange

[43:35] county rescue mission and we

[43:38] service people from all of the county, we are very proud to

[43:41] live in tustin, to be

[43:43] headquartered in tustin and to be partnered with a city that

[43:47] truly cares for the people that

[43:49] we serve. I could not be more proud. I myself am a resident

[43:52] of tustin and I could not be more proud that our

[43:56] organization is headquartered here in tustin. I believe that

[43:59] my contact information -- there

[44:02] we go. That is my contact

[44:05] information and my phone

[44:08] number, my email. If you are

[44:11] interested in volunteering, we want to talk to you. If you

[44:19] know someone -- link them to resources. If you are in a

[44:23] position to donate five acres for nextstep housing, call me

[44:26] immediately. I'm kidding.

[44:31] grateful for the opportunity and I look forward to talking

[44:32] to on the patio. Thank you.

[44:35] >> thank you, brian. Do we have

[44:41] any questions or comments?

[44:50] >> I would like to make a quick comment. I don't know that you

[44:56] mentioned it brian, but thank

[44:57] you, because you guys actually operate a homeless shelter as

[44:59] well, which is been a very successful program and sought

[45:02] after by other cities. I want

[45:05] to encourage anyone. Orange

[45:07] county rescue mission is extremely special and I know it

[45:11] is used as a model for other organizations. And a leader in

[45:14] what you do and looking at the

[45:16] success rate you're actually solving the problem. You're

[45:20] making a difference. If anyone has the opportunity to go

[45:22] volunteer, I know brian mentioned it five times and I

[45:23] will mention it once more. It

[45:27] is just as much for the kids

[45:29] and families there as it is for yourself. To see what they're

[45:31] going through to see the transformation is very

[45:35] eye-opening and it is special what you are doing. If you

[45:38] cannot make it -- it's a short engagement. You can go for a

[45:42] half hour. There are a lot of

[45:45] different ways to help out and

[45:46] you can donate as well. It's a great program and thank you for

[45:48] being in our community and

[45:54] helping.

[45:56] >> obviously, you're talking about five acres. What would

[46:03] that look like and how many

[46:04] homes would be there and how many families would be housed

[46:06] and are they permanent homes for those families or is it

[46:09] transitional?

[46:10] >> [ inaudible ]

[46:39] >> a lot of times graduates come out of the program and go

[46:42] into a new career and they need

[46:45] a couple of years to develop

[46:46] their earning potential and to rise up to the point where

[46:49] they're able to support their family with market rate

[46:51] housing. There is a gap there

[46:53] between starting a new career and being able to support your

[46:57] family. So we would see it as

[46:59] not in perpetuity. A definite nextstep and we operate similar

[47:03] properties in the city of

[47:06] orange and so but why tustin?

[47:14] because our flagship campus is right there and we regularly --

[47:15] we have 240 people in the

[47:16] program and it would be -- a lot of times when people

[47:18] graduate they have their kids

[47:21] in tustin unified and they

[47:27] start looking outwards to where else they might move, and then

[47:28] they have to make a decision am I going to commute every day

[47:29] back to the school that my kids are in. So that is why adjacent

[47:30] to the village of hope would be

[47:33] a blessing.

[47:41] >> just to echo what councilmember gallagher said,

[47:45] I've had the honor to support

[47:48] the rescue mission and I've had

[47:51] the honor to do it with my

[47:53] daughters and my family. My oldest has graduated and is off

[47:58] to college, but my youngest is a sophomore through national

[48:00] charity league they do

[48:03] volunteer hours. I've had the

[48:05] pleasure of also attending one of the graduation ceremonies.

[48:08] absolutely very impactful and very powerful and it pulls on

[48:12] your heartstrings to see the

[48:14] journey and the life journey that these people make over 18

[48:18] months and the work that you do

[48:21] is tremendous. Excuse me. I

[48:24] would say, that came out of nowhere. As far as volunteering

[48:28] we have also volunteered during thanksgiving to serve meals,

[48:33] and I cannot say that there is a better way to appreciate the

[48:36] blessings that you have is to

[48:38] go there and actually serve meals to the residents, talk to

[48:41] them, get to know them. And to amplify what you said, if you

[48:43] have a chance to volunteer, especially on thanksgiving,

[48:45] it's a wonderful experience.

[48:48] thank you for what you do.

[48:51] >> we have a 5k turkey trot on

[48:55] thanksgiving and we have --last year we had over 1000

[48:56] people run is a great opportunity to bring your

[48:57] family.

[49:06] >> I just want to say

[49:09] congratulations on the success.

[49:12] I thought george has a longer track record than I do in the

[49:15] city with the base. I started

[49:18] in 2002, and I remember

[49:21] converting those marine barracks into the original

[49:24] campus in the plans for that

[49:26] and going through it and creating just an incredible

[49:30] campus. If you have not been there, you need to check it

[49:33] out. Once you check it out, you

[49:35] will want to volunteer. Make sure you keep his number and

[49:36] contact information.

[49:51] >> next on our list is the south

[49:56] orange county community college district.

[49:57] >> good afternoon, or

[50:06] evening, I guess. Thank you mayor lombard and city council

[50:09] members for allowing us to

[50:12] present you tonight. I am the

[50:15] vice chancellor business

[50:17] services with the south orange county community college

[50:18] district and I have my

[50:21] colleague here. He is our

[50:24] executive director of facilities planning, and in the

[50:26] audience we have one of our board members who actually

[50:33] serves the city

[50:35] of tustin... I'm sure you are familiar with him. We are very

[50:39] lucky to have him. We have a

[50:46] short presentation for you tonight.

[50:51] the south orange county community college district we

[50:54] have three campuses. The newest

[51:00] one is here at atep and some of

[51:06] the land from the reuse act. We

[51:09] have about 61 acres that we are trying to develop and our main

[51:12] campus is at saddleback college in mission viejo and we have

[51:15] irvine valley college in

[51:18] irvine, the district itself is

[51:21] the largest in area of the four

[51:23] community college districts within orange county. Covering

[51:27] about 382 square miles. We

[51:30] serve 15 different cities,

[51:33] which includes tustin as well as north tustin and about seven

[51:36] unincorporated areas. Annually

[51:39] we serve about 54,000 students.

[51:46] there we go. And we just opened

[51:52] two new buildings over at atep

[51:55] this week, yesterday actually.

[51:58] culinary arts facility as well

[51:59] as our automobile advanced technology building has been

[52:03] opened and we are happy to say we have about 200 students

[52:06] there. Brand-new students to the area and we hope that will

[52:10] help. I will let mr. Efraim go

[52:13] over everything that we do at

[52:23] the atep site.

[52:24] >> good evening, everyone. This is, I believe,

[52:25] our third presentation to the lra and it's fun to see the

[52:26] community and present to the community on the work that we

[52:30] have done. Previous slides we've had just to share with

[52:35] the community in our 61.4 acres that we have there were about

[52:39] 41 former navy buildings that we've demolished over the

[52:43] years. In 2015 about 36 and in

[52:47] 2023 the rest about six of them. All of the navy buildings

[52:51] have been demolished on our site. Work that we've done on

[52:55] site, infrastructure work is

[52:58] mostly on the fee land but some

[53:01] that we've built roads,

[53:02] roundabouts, electrical we worked with edison to have that

[53:07] set up. Storm, sewer,

[53:10] drainpipes. We did a lot of

[53:16] that work prior to our buildings coming online. Most

[53:17] of that work was in 2018. In 2020 as some of you may have

[53:19] seen it, we installed some of

[53:22] the wayfinding monument signage as well. That got installed as

[53:34] well. One of our new

[53:38] buildings known as the idea building was completed in

[53:39] 2018 and they've been having classes since then.

[53:41] approximately 1200 students this fall right now. That is

[53:43] good. Prior to that we did have

[53:46] classes across the street where

[53:51] we did used to teach classes there. But now we moved here

[53:55] and have been teaching here

[53:58] since then. The goddard school,

[53:59] last year at this time they had just barely opened. They are

[54:03] here at the booth with us as well. That is an exciting

[54:07] program that they've started. They've been here a year now.

[54:10] they have about 100 students,

[54:15] which is exciting and they are growing. It is a great asset

[54:18] and program for the community ongoing basis. Next are at this

[54:19] time hopefully that will be

[54:25] about 300. Saddleback is an

[54:28] absolutely exciting program.

[54:31] this is saddleback college

[54:33] building the new culinary and automobile program. We are

[54:35] excited about that. We just had the event opening and

[54:39] ribbon-cutting last monday and classes just started yesterday.

[54:45] and casey is here if anybody wants to talk to her about our

[54:49] program and what we have going

[54:51] there. Classes were in full session yesterday morning at

[54:55] 7:30 a.m. This program will I'm

[54:58] sure quadruple in size in the

[55:00] years to come so we are very excited about it. We did

[55:02] prepare a quick slideshow. So if you don't mind we can show

[55:04] you.

[56:31] >>> I think just to add to that the

[56:34] college is starting to

[56:37] work with the community in local dealerships

[56:38] and

[56:40] restaurants to partner with everybody

[56:41] to engage them

[56:43] so this will be an exciting program. The

[56:47] next slide that we have

[56:50] here is advantech. They an

[56:51] information technology company. This

[56:53] will be their north

[56:54] american office they are building

[56:56] right south of

[56:58] victory. A ten acre parcel so we are very

[56:59] excited

[57:02] about that. They are full on in

[57:04] construction mode. The left side picture that

[57:05] you see would be

[57:06] the head quarter building and then

[57:08] next to it would be

[57:10] a warehouse building. We are excited

[57:11] about

[57:12] that. We are going to partner with them

[57:14] as soon as

[57:17] they open soon. So exciting

[57:18] to hear. Future developments. We are

[57:20] working with two

[57:23] groups now. I would say

[57:26] at its infancy. The

[57:28] two that we --one of them victory

[57:32] ai academy. It's a milledl

[57:35] aged students school. They

[57:37] are sandwhiched between red hill and

[57:38] armstrong right

[57:41] north of victory. Pretty large

[57:44] site that will have

[57:45] academic buildings and athletic fields so

[57:47] we are excited to

[57:48] partner with them. They are going

[57:50] to be

[57:52] a lot of domestic and international

[57:53] students

[57:55] they will go after but domestic, country

[57:57] wide. We are excited to work with

[57:59] them as well. More to come

[58:02] on that. This is at --I would

[58:04] say it's infancy. The next group we are

[58:07] working with is top tennis management. This

[58:08] is

[58:11] a tennis academy. We are

[58:14] excited working with they are right

[58:18] south of valencia. We are excited

[58:20] to work with them. There will

[58:22] be academic buildings. I failed to

[58:23] mention the

[58:26] prior group will have dorms for

[58:27] the students that will stay on site

[58:29] this group is also looking

[58:32] at having dorms

[58:34] on site. Again early stages of discussions

[58:35] with them

[58:38] but we are hoping to complete

[58:41] and negotiate that through. This slide

[58:43] we kind of wanted to kind of give

[58:45] you a picture of what the atep site

[58:47] looks like. It looks

[58:50] like if

[58:52] you will. If our last two slides we talked

[58:53] about

[58:55] were victory ai and top tennis. We will

[58:59] have built out all of the atep which

[59:01] is a huge milestone wore the district

[59:04] and our students, the community and

[59:05] for them to be able to

[59:07] use it. This is currently what it

[59:11] looks like. The advantech south of victory

[59:13] is under construction. The victory

[59:14] and negotiations is under

[59:15] negotiations and then the buildings

[59:17] in the middle

[59:19] are completed. You can start --that's

[59:20] currently what

[59:23] the

[59:25] site looks like. Questions?

[59:26] >> I appreciate

[59:27] the presentation. I don't

[59:29] have a question. I have

[59:31] an observation. Back in 2021 the council

[59:32] put you

[59:34] under the gun. What is going on? Why

[59:35] don't we have

[59:37] any development happening out there

[59:38] in the last four years we

[59:41] have seen both the car

[59:44] and culinary arts be planned and constructed

[59:45] and open

[59:47] which is

[59:48] fantastic. I appreciate the leaning

[59:50] forward into

[59:53] other potential uses

[59:56] and

[59:59] education uses. Thank

[1:00:03] you. Additional comments, questions?

[1:00:04] >>

[1:00:05] yeah. Congratulations

[1:00:08] on the success since

[1:00:09] 2021. It's amazing to see how far

[1:00:11] you have come. Just

[1:00:12] a couple of items I want to highlight

[1:00:14] since we have a lot of

[1:00:16] the public here. The work you are

[1:00:17] doing. The development and the

[1:00:19] access. There's a limitation. It has to

[1:00:20] be --there's a part

[1:00:22] that can be noneducation, a part that

[1:00:23] must

[1:00:26] be education focused which is what

[1:00:27] paints

[1:00:28] what the options they have there and

[1:00:29] you did a

[1:00:30] great job in identifying use that

[1:00:32] meet those. I wanted to

[1:00:35] point out advantech is a big win

[1:00:37] for the tustin community. I remember

[1:00:38] at the time

[1:00:41] the ground breaking the

[1:00:42] jeb manager for north america, not

[1:00:44] sure the title but 400

[1:00:46] high paying jobs will becoming to

[1:00:50] the city through this.

[1:01:02] >>

[1:01:05] let's take a couple minute recess real quick until

[1:01:07] we can handle this situation right there.

[1:01:08] >>> 400 high paying jobs. I think

[1:01:13] that's where

[1:01:14] we left. 400. Very exciting. I want

[1:01:16] to say congratulations

[1:01:18] to you on all the work you are doing. It's

[1:01:19] a

[1:01:22] private academy and victory

[1:01:24] ai. I know those are private uses. If

[1:01:25] at all possible

[1:01:27] there's ways to partner with, you know we

[1:01:28] have

[1:01:31] schools nearby that have no --we

[1:01:33] have the legacy magnet academy that

[1:01:34] has no

[1:01:36] fields, right or limited fields. No

[1:01:37] sports. If there is

[1:01:39] any way to partner with the other

[1:01:40] stake holders we have

[1:01:42] at the base I'm sure you will be thinking

[1:01:43] about

[1:01:44] that. Be great to find those early

[1:01:46] as

[1:01:49] you

[1:01:52] guys mentioned. Thank you.

[1:01:55] >> thank you. Thank

[1:01:58] you. My question. We were both

[1:02:01] agent

[1:02:02] the academies. So, sort of about both

[1:02:04] of

[1:02:07] them. Are those sort of --who do

[1:02:08] those serve? Are they like boarding

[1:02:10] schools if you will for

[1:02:12] -- for students and are they regular

[1:02:13] schools like school

[1:02:16] year schools or specifically

[1:02:19] focused and then, secondly, are

[1:02:20] those long term --round lease was

[1:02:22] the district? Is

[1:02:24] that how the transaction will --is

[1:02:25] seen

[1:02:28] at this point?

[1:02:29] >>

[1:02:30] those would belong term ground leases

[1:02:32] with recurrently in negotiations with

[1:02:34] them on. As far as

[1:02:37] the students they would

[1:02:40] serve they

[1:02:41] are private institutions. There is

[1:02:42] an aspect of it that would be boarding schools

[1:02:46] and so you would have international

[1:02:49] and domestic students. I think it

[1:02:52] would serve family was in tustin

[1:02:55] as well. I will say that

[1:02:58] as a private institution

[1:03:01] they will be pricey if I

[1:03:04] can say that. So I

[1:03:07] think that it'll serve potentially

[1:03:10] a niche population of who they will

[1:03:13] be bringing forward but it is

[1:03:16] part

[1:03:18] of an international programming that

[1:03:19] they have

[1:03:22] where they do have schools

[1:03:23] throughout the pacific rim and they

[1:03:25] are trying to bring --this will

[1:03:28] be their first school with in

[1:03:29] california that they want to close the

[1:03:31] loop on the pacific

[1:03:34] rim classes that they do have. That's

[1:03:37] for victory

[1:03:39] ai, yes. As far as the tennis academy again

[1:03:40] that

[1:03:43] is

[1:03:44] a private institution. They are more

[1:03:46] -- I

[1:03:49] would say liken

[1:03:52] to training athletes to excel in

[1:03:55] tennis and to

[1:03:57] compete internationally as well as

[1:03:58] professional. So, you know

[1:04:00] kind of when I talk to them what comes in

[1:04:04] to mind is

[1:04:07] --they go to houston to train for the

[1:04:08] olympics. That's how I see and wrap

[1:04:10] my head around

[1:04:12] what the tennis academy is going to

[1:04:13] be.

[1:04:14] >>

[1:04:16] the scope of that campus or facility. Looks

[1:04:19] like it would be a place for

[1:04:22] the t

[1:04:25] ustin open in the

[1:04:28] future.

[1:04:29] >>

[1:04:31] potentially.

[1:04:32] >> I have seen

[1:04:34] the proposals

[1:04:37] for victory ai. There's also

[1:04:40] a focus on trades when you take

[1:04:43] a look at the technical aspects. Vehicles

[1:04:46] today are computers. They are

[1:04:49] high tech. Again, very happy to see

[1:04:50] the

[1:04:51] culinary, tech patrols focusing on

[1:04:52] some of

[1:04:55] the 21st

[1:04:58] applications

[1:05:01] with ai. This next generation of learning

[1:05:02] and

[1:05:04] --business so thank you

[1:05:07] very much.

[1:05:10] >> I'm impressed

[1:05:12] with the speed subpoena development of the

[1:05:13] past couple

[1:05:19] of years. Between

[1:05:21] your board and -- you know the speed

[1:05:22] and development. I'm sure the

[1:05:25] board was pushing on that. You have

[1:05:27] good leadership that's going forward

[1:05:28] and

[1:05:30] I think just all excellent choices

[1:05:31] to

[1:05:34] be there and they -- they

[1:05:37] really --effect other thing that

[1:05:40] are going on

[1:05:43] in the old base. Whatever else is

[1:05:44] going on. It's a

[1:05:46] nice kind of play with the other

[1:05:48] uses that are happening. It's nice.

[1:05:49] >>

[1:05:50] yeah. I

[1:05:52] will say that I started with

[1:05:54] the district in 2017 and one of the

[1:05:55] first things that the

[1:05:57] chancellor at the time said was a

[1:06:01] temperature baby and you are responsible for

[1:06:02] developing

[1:06:03] it. I have been working hard to try

[1:06:04] to develop

[1:06:07] it and I'm super

[1:06:10] excited with the --what

[1:06:13] we see. If we can bring the last two

[1:06:14] ground

[1:06:15] leases to pass then we will have completely

[1:06:16] built out

[1:06:19] the entire 61 acres which I will be

[1:06:21] extremely proud of.

[1:06:22] >> all right. Thank

[1:06:23] you. We are looking forward to seeing

[1:06:24] what comes next. Thank you very much

[1:06:29] for your

[1:06:32] presentation, sir. Next.

[1:06:33] >>

[1:06:35] next we

[1:06:38] rancho

[1:06:39] santiago community college district.

[1:06:46] good evening, mayor. The city council

[1:06:47] staff and

[1:06:50] our community partners. My name

[1:06:52] is ernie gomez. I'm the associate

[1:06:53] dean

[1:06:54] of the criminal justice department which

[1:06:56] is part of the

[1:06:57] community college district. What you have

[1:06:59] on the slides is

[1:07:01] the our location at armstrong avenue

[1:07:02] and it's

[1:07:05] known as the

[1:07:07] orange county regional training academy we

[1:07:08] have

[1:07:11] had a longstanding partnership

[1:07:14] with the orange county

[1:07:15] department. With me is the director

[1:07:17] of facilities

[1:07:20] from

[1:07:24] our college district. He will --discuss

[1:07:26] further of the development of

[1:07:29] the property. A little of

[1:07:30] the background. The partnership is

[1:07:32] over 50 plus years

[1:07:34] and the training academy started in the

[1:07:35] city of

[1:07:36] orange which is a cross from the honda

[1:07:38] center if you

[1:07:43] can picture that. It became kind of

[1:07:44] transient. They

[1:07:47] are visiting different locations

[1:07:49] throughout the county. We came --

[1:07:50] the land

[1:07:53] here in tustin became

[1:07:54] available to sleep and build our academy which

[1:07:56] is part

[1:07:59] of the college. Every recruit that comes

[1:08:02] through

[1:08:03] that academy is a student receiving

[1:08:05] 29 credits for

[1:08:08] that academy and a certificate

[1:08:10] of the academy. The city police department

[1:08:11] are part

[1:08:12] of the community, matter of fact of

[1:08:14] the three

[1:08:17] academy classes on site currently there

[1:08:18] are 135 recruits, two of them are

[1:08:20] your city of

[1:08:22] tustin police officer recruits. We

[1:08:23] are

[1:08:26] just been class 265. We are

[1:08:29] middle of 266, 267, 268. We have

[1:08:32] three academy classes on campus right

[1:08:33] now. It

[1:08:34] sevens throughout orange county and

[1:08:35] portions

[1:08:38] of la

[1:08:41] county agencies. We

[1:08:44] --the training is through

[1:08:47] post which is a peace officer training which dictates

[1:08:48] the training given to the recruits. We

[1:08:50] mirror

[1:08:52] that with the college. They receive

[1:08:56] the college credit. Quickly the

[1:08:59] construction started in to

[1:09:02] 2005. It was dedicated september

[1:09:04] 11th, as original training center. There's a

[1:09:05] little bit of

[1:09:07] background. I will turn it over to

[1:09:08] tae and he will discuss

[1:09:11] more of the

[1:09:14] property.

[1:09:15] >>

[1:09:16] thank you. I'm director of facilities

[1:09:17] and

[1:09:20] planning

[1:09:23] for the district. Very briefly

[1:09:26] I will talk about the property itself. Wa

[1:09:27] got

[1:09:29] it back in

[1:09:32] 2003. 15 acres of it and it was

[1:09:35] permitted for

[1:09:37] educational use and purposes. What

[1:09:38] you see here on

[1:09:40] the screen is the original concept

[1:09:41] that was

[1:09:44] developed back in 2003. You will see

[1:09:47] that we developed a majority of

[1:09:50] that site already. What's remaining

[1:09:53] is about three acres of

[1:09:56] undeveloped land that you see on the

[1:09:59] northern portion of

[1:10:02] the photograph there. And with all

[1:10:05] the new challenges facing

[1:10:06] law enforcement and first responders

[1:10:08] we have been looking at what

[1:10:11] type of facility should be placed on that

[1:10:12] undeveloped

[1:10:14] portion of the

[1:10:17] site. We currently have approval to develop

[1:10:20] a 20,000 square foot public safety

[1:10:21] institute

[1:10:23] at

[1:10:26] that

[1:10:29] location. And we just recently completed

[1:10:30] a

[1:10:31] feasibility study at what could go on

[1:10:32] that side including

[1:10:35] the public safety institute. We looked

[1:10:36] at

[1:10:38] adding and

[1:10:41] incorporating a

[1:10:43] physical agility test preparedness

[1:10:44] structure along

[1:10:47] with a running track, fitness and

[1:10:50] skill as sessionsment area, wellness

[1:10:51] facilities

[1:10:53] and instructional classrooms and support

[1:10:56] of

[1:10:57] the academy. Cybersecurity training,

[1:10:59] also

[1:11:02] disaster, critical incident, preparedness

[1:11:03] response

[1:11:05] courses and facilities to support

[1:11:06] that. The

[1:11:08] good news recently is that the

[1:11:11] state chancellor's office approved

[1:11:12] the

[1:11:15] location as a center which means

[1:11:18] that it opens up funding

[1:11:20] for the location on a yearly basis

[1:11:21] and opens

[1:11:24] up

[1:11:25] the opportunity to apply for mass

[1:11:30] funding

[1:11:32] for development facilities. With that

[1:11:33] we kept

[1:11:35] it brief as much as possible and you

[1:11:37] have any questions we will take that

[1:11:39] now.

[1:11:40] >> thank you

[1:11:41] for the presentation. I was a graduate

[1:11:45] of reserve class 22 romeo

[1:11:48] there so aware

[1:11:51] of the facility.

[1:11:52] >>

[1:11:54] just in your thinking

[1:11:57] about the

[1:11:59] new structure that's going open. Have

[1:12:00] you

[1:12:01] thought about possibly along with

[1:12:03] the institute doing

[1:12:06] like a first responder history

[1:12:09] or resume portion

[1:12:12] in that?

[1:12:13] >> there is

[1:12:15] a portion of the

[1:12:17] --that has some item that are museum related at

[1:12:18] the

[1:12:21] front of the entrance way. The sheriff's

[1:12:23] --opened the bell center on the other side,

[1:12:24] the westside and

[1:12:26] they are making that --so -- we will

[1:12:27] have

[1:12:29] some historical things there. Matter

[1:12:33] of fact class one. Class one

[1:12:35] from 1965 has their photographs on

[1:12:36] the wall

[1:12:37] in the academy halls which I would love

[1:12:39] you to come look at. A lot of

[1:12:42] these thing that are there that

[1:12:45] will

[1:12:48] remain there.

[1:12:49] >>

[1:12:50] yeah. Lot of things there. Yeah.

[1:12:51] >>

[1:12:52] you can give us

[1:12:53] any concept of the timeline for that

[1:12:54] development

[1:12:56] for the remaining three acres? I know

[1:12:58] you are looking for funding. Is is

[1:13:00] there a target

[1:13:02] date?

[1:13:03] >> we are looking at a phased

[1:13:04] approach

[1:13:06] right now. That might be

[1:13:08] --that might involve covering up the third

[1:13:09] patch

[1:13:12] that's existing currently and then slowly bringing

[1:13:14] in some to the facilities in preparation

[1:13:15] for

[1:13:18] a permanent facility. Timeline wise

[1:13:19] we

[1:13:20] have nothing concrete right now. We

[1:13:21] need

[1:13:24] to explore the budget and

[1:13:30] planning process itself.

[1:13:31] questions? All right. Thank you very much

[1:13:36] for your presentation.

[1:13:42] all right. Next we

[1:13:44] have tustin unified school district.

[1:14:04] good afternoon and good evening. I'm the

[1:14:06] chief financial officer

[1:14:09] for the tustin school district. With

[1:14:12] me I have our director of

[1:14:13] facilities and planning. So we are grateful

[1:14:14] for the opportunity to stand before

[1:14:15] you today

[1:14:17] to provide an undate from our district

[1:14:18] on the

[1:14:21] progress that we are making

[1:14:24] and have made on the land that was

[1:14:25] convoyed

[1:14:27] during the unwinding of

[1:14:29] the marine corp air station. So, today

[1:14:30] we are going

[1:14:33] to share momentum that

[1:14:35] is building in tustin to meet the needs

[1:14:36] of students and family

[1:14:39] in the years ahead. We are also

[1:14:42] going to review and detail some of

[1:14:43] the work that

[1:14:44] is already happened at the properties.

[1:14:52] we are super excited because we had the opportunity

[1:14:54] to welcome

[1:14:56] our kids back for the 25-26 school

[1:14:57] year and that's

[1:15:00] always a great energy builder to

[1:15:02] carry us through the heavy lifts that

[1:15:03] we have throughout

[1:15:05] the year. Seeing the smiling faces,

[1:15:06] welcoming the

[1:15:08] kids back. Heading into this year

[1:15:09] we reflected on

[1:15:10] the momentum that we built over the

[1:15:12] last several years and

[1:15:15] we carry that momentum in to

[1:15:17] the new school year but also in to

[1:15:18] the future. So

[1:15:21] you can see our logo there shows the

[1:15:24] momentum in terms of the energy, the

[1:15:27] movement of a wave and reminding our

[1:15:28] students

[1:15:30] and staff and community

[1:15:33] that in tustin we lead with

[1:15:35] optimism and team work. So in the

[1:15:39] next couple slides I will share a

[1:15:40] few examples

[1:15:42] of

[1:15:44] momentum in tustin. Here over the

[1:15:45] past

[1:15:48] several years really our amazing students

[1:15:49] have

[1:15:51] continued to excel in

[1:15:54] many areas. You can see on the slide

[1:15:55] language

[1:15:56] arts and math scores have gone up over

[1:15:57] the past

[1:15:59] three years. The number of english

[1:16:00] learners who

[1:16:02] reclassified from english learners

[1:16:03] to

[1:16:06] english proefficient have

[1:16:07] gone up. The a through g completion

[1:16:09] rate which

[1:16:11] is the completion needed for eligibility to

[1:16:12] enter

[1:16:14] the uc or cal state system. Those

[1:16:15] numbers have

[1:16:17] gone up with our students as well as

[1:16:18] the

[1:16:20] number of advanced placement tests

[1:16:21] that our students take

[1:16:24] and those tests

[1:16:27] provide college credits for students entering college

[1:16:30] after high school. We

[1:16:32] have an increasing number of senior

[1:16:33] who

[1:16:37] are graduating with their career

[1:16:38] technical, education court. Not only

[1:16:40] are they looking at

[1:16:41] college but they are also looking

[1:16:43] at the trades

[1:16:44] and other opportunities. Some of our

[1:16:46] partners have mentioned

[1:16:48] this evening. Then also in partnership

[1:16:49] with some

[1:16:51] of the partners that presented earlier

[1:16:52] this evening

[1:16:54] the number of students taking college

[1:16:56] level courses while they are attending

[1:16:58] high school have gone

[1:17:00] up as well. We are excited about that

[1:17:01] momentum

[1:17:04] and we are looking to

[1:17:07] how it looks into the

[1:17:08] future. Another piece is we are grateful

[1:17:10] to

[1:17:11] the community. Our community and their

[1:17:13] support for measure j

[1:17:15] which is a general obligation bond for

[1:17:19] $261 million. That provides

[1:17:21] investment to improve the school facilities. Measure

[1:17:22] j

[1:17:24] funds will slowly be used for the

[1:17:27] schools letting us upgrade classrooms,

[1:17:31] repair

[1:17:33] and upgrade aging infrastructure and

[1:17:35] provide safety and security at all

[1:17:37] campuses. We are

[1:17:39] excited that work is already started.

[1:17:40] we are

[1:17:43] in the planning phases for the first

[1:17:46] phase of school. Under measure

[1:17:48] j as well as we have started the installation

[1:17:52] of many safety at our

[1:17:55] school across tust. These resources

[1:17:58] let us modernize

[1:17:59] the facilities, expand our capacity

[1:18:01] and deliver

[1:18:04] on our commitment to create

[1:18:06] great learning environments for all

[1:18:07] students. With that I will let you

[1:18:08] know

[1:18:10] that a critical

[1:18:12] part of our progress has started,

[1:18:13] with the

[1:18:14] development of some of the land at

[1:18:16] the former marine

[1:18:19] corp. Air station.

[1:18:31] >>> thank you and going mayor,

[1:18:32] members of the council and members of

[1:18:34] the community. I'm the director of

[1:18:37] facilities and planning for the district. A

[1:18:40] lot of the momentum that

[1:18:43] harold has shared about what we

[1:18:46] are doing in tustin is

[1:18:47] definitely reflected in what's going on

[1:18:49] in the facilities.

[1:18:58] I wanted to

[1:19:00] share that. First of all we want --

[1:19:04] our story with

[1:19:06] the legacy development starts with

[1:19:07] our land

[1:19:10] to us for

[1:19:11] heritage elementary school. That land

[1:19:13] was convoyed

[1:19:16] to us in 2002

[1:19:18] after some planning, some false starts

[1:19:19] and

[1:19:22] a structure in 2011 which was

[1:19:25] eventually opened as heritage elementary in

[1:19:27] 2016. Just a little bit about some

[1:19:28] of the good work that's going

[1:19:31] on in

[1:19:33] heritage elementary. It's a steam

[1:19:34] magnet

[1:19:35] school. It has about -- about two

[1:19:37] thirds of the

[1:19:39] enrollment now is residents of legacy

[1:19:40] and also

[1:19:42] is a very attractive destination for

[1:19:43] students throughout

[1:19:46] the district to come and participate

[1:19:48] in their program such as progress based

[1:19:49] learning

[1:19:50] other things that are just exciting

[1:19:52] thing that are going on

[1:19:55] at that facility. Their

[1:19:58] current enrollment is at 590 and

[1:20:04] while the district continues to experience

[1:20:05] declining enrollment

[1:20:07] overall that school continues to have

[1:20:08] a robust

[1:20:10] enrollment that continues to

[1:20:12] grow. I also did just want to mention

[1:20:13] as

[1:20:15] part of our 550 students to kind of

[1:20:19] tie in with

[1:20:22] the -- with the

[1:20:25] -- partners that we do have --we

[1:20:28] do service the --the

[1:20:31] -- the orange --we service the --

[1:20:32] the

[1:20:34] city of hope, excuse me. So,

[1:20:37] that's kind of a high into what

[1:20:40] we do. Moving onto legacy

[1:20:42] magnet academy. We --that is also another

[1:20:43] school that

[1:20:45] continues to gain momentum as well

[1:20:46] as

[1:20:47] enrollment. It was completed for the

[1:20:49] start of the

[1:20:52] 2021 school year. It --

[1:20:55] of the students that

[1:20:58] are 964 students we have there,

[1:21:01] approximately

[1:21:04] --sorry. 675 of them

[1:21:19] the lma doesn't have any cif sports but

[1:21:20] with

[1:21:22] the completion of our gym

[1:21:24] building in 2023, we are able to host

[1:21:25] a lot

[1:21:28] of events there. Probably one of

[1:21:31] the biggest events we host

[1:21:33] is robotics tournaments. It's a huge

[1:21:34] part of tustin

[1:21:37] and the

[1:21:40] legacy magnet academy. We also on

[1:21:43] the theme of partnership legacy has

[1:21:46] a partnership

[1:21:48] with irvine valley and about 850 students

[1:21:49] at

[1:21:52] legacy magnet academy from

[1:21:54] grade 7 to 12 are taking college classes and

[1:21:55] all

[1:21:58] of our legacy students graduate with

[1:21:59] a

[1:22:01] dual aa and their high school

[1:22:03] diploma. That's a great fireman we

[1:22:04] continue

[1:22:07] to participate with ib c on that is exciting

[1:22:08] for

[1:22:10] our students and community. Then

[1:22:13] so looking at

[1:22:16] the slide the --we show

[1:22:19] our -- information about our current

[1:22:20] district office. While

[1:22:22] we were planning and building

[1:22:24] our legacy facilities we were looking

[1:22:25] at doing

[1:22:27] some maintenance work, improving our district

[1:22:28] office facility and as part

[1:22:31] of the routina ceasement that we were

[1:22:34] doing in preparation for work we discovered

[1:22:37] some fairly serious issues as far

[1:22:38] as

[1:22:40] the structure of the building. As

[1:22:41] a result

[1:22:44] of that we have had --we spent

[1:22:47] the last three years

[1:22:48] talking very intimately as a district about

[1:22:50] how we

[1:22:53] want to dress that issue and

[1:22:54] in case you are asking yourself why

[1:22:56] that factors in to

[1:22:58] the legacy --the tustin legacy presentation

[1:22:59] I

[1:23:02] will turn it back over to

[1:23:05] explain how tustin legacy fits

[1:23:08] into that assessment

[1:23:11] we have been

[1:23:14] doing.

[1:23:15] >> okay. Thank you

[1:23:16] tom. Just for the information tom

[1:23:17] has --

[1:23:19] heritage and is at the lake so he

[1:23:23] knows these programs

[1:23:25] very well. With that we are looking at

[1:23:28] the future. Now legacy magnet the

[1:23:30] admin building space has been constructed. We

[1:23:32] have added the

[1:23:35] gym

[1:23:38] and ct building.

[1:23:47] so the

[1:23:48] slide before you explains that we

[1:23:50] are currently in the planning

[1:23:53] efforts for a new district education

[1:23:56] center that is going to

[1:23:59] be

[1:24:05] located at the seven

[1:24:07] acre parcel. Our community we have

[1:24:08] actively started

[1:24:11] the

[1:24:13] planning process for that property. So

[1:24:14] with

[1:24:17] that we have also --we

[1:24:20] have been in contact -- been in contact with the

[1:24:23] city in regards to their

[1:24:26] plans for the legacy

[1:24:28] --legacy area related to developments,

[1:24:29] development

[1:24:32] that would generate students

[1:24:33] for our education alpha silts. We

[1:24:35] are looking at

[1:24:37] what those impacts and studying what

[1:24:38] they -- to determine

[1:24:41] what will be the program and facility

[1:24:44] needs going forward. Lastly as

[1:24:47] was referenced earlier there

[1:24:50] is a small 1.1-acre property that

[1:24:53] is part of the

[1:24:56] plan for the district as all of

[1:24:58] the partners are affected by this we

[1:24:59] are waiting for

[1:25:02] the disposition by the navy so

[1:25:03] we can determine what --what the uses

[1:25:05] will be

[1:25:06] for that property. Unfortunately we

[1:25:08] don't have a clear

[1:25:11] timeline. It's the navy. God

[1:25:13] bless them. We want to make sure that

[1:25:14] we are

[1:25:16] continuing to monitor that and identity

[1:25:17] uses

[1:25:20] for those properties into

[1:25:23] the future. With that we --

[1:25:26] wanted to talk about

[1:25:28] ongoing challenges related to the

[1:25:29] developments that

[1:25:32] were discussed. As tom shared the enrollment at both

[1:25:35] schools is nearing

[1:25:37] capacity. It's really limiting options

[1:25:38] particularly as

[1:25:40] we are thinking about new sleepment and

[1:25:43] we are looking -- to determine what

[1:25:44] are some of

[1:25:47] the creative solutions to house

[1:25:50] new students. We have increased demand

[1:25:53] in education

[1:25:55] for support spaces, after school programs

[1:25:56] which all take

[1:25:59] --have demands, place demands

[1:26:01] on the facilities. Safe roots to schools. They

[1:26:02] are always a

[1:26:04] priority for our neighborhoods. Especially in

[1:26:05] this

[1:26:07] area. We are pleased to report that

[1:26:08] --the city

[1:26:11] has been a great

[1:26:14] partner this opening the

[1:26:19] admonition offet extension. Transgress

[1:26:20] onto the legacy property. We

[1:26:23] appreciate the partnership with the

[1:26:24] city

[1:26:25] and with that we thank you for your

[1:26:26] time and I will

[1:26:29] take any questions.

[1:26:30] >> thank you. Thank you both

[1:26:31] and

[1:26:32] I appreciate you --that last slide

[1:26:33] I think you addressed a lot of the

[1:26:34] comments we made last year about capacity

[1:26:35] and safe

[1:26:37] routes to school. I can share with

[1:26:38] you that the council

[1:26:41] two weeks ago approved

[1:26:44] authorizing staff to go out forbid

[1:26:45] for

[1:26:46] the armstrong bridge. We are moving

[1:26:47] forward in the

[1:26:49] armstrong bridge or -- the base bridge

[1:26:50] program

[1:26:53] and I know that bring will be a

[1:26:56] big help for legacy. Understanding

[1:26:59] the needs for the

[1:27:01] administrative space because of the

[1:27:02] aging and the root problems. I

[1:27:05] think it would be a

[1:27:07] shame to see that before may and the

[1:27:08] community feels the

[1:27:11] same way. We don't want to

[1:27:13] see the rest built. Exploring and how

[1:27:14] you

[1:27:16] will house additional students. We

[1:27:17] have a

[1:27:20] ton of housing and I know you are

[1:27:23] aware of that. They will need a

[1:27:25] place to go. Certainly the second

[1:27:26] half of

[1:27:29] the students is --a real

[1:27:32] near term. I just want

[1:27:33] to recognize. Superintendent johnson

[1:27:35] is somewhere. Weighstrying to

[1:27:37] get in the wrong door. Is he in the back

[1:27:38] over there

[1:27:40] now. He is here and if northbound

[1:27:41] wanted to pepper

[1:27:43] him with questions during open house

[1:27:44] I'm sure he

[1:27:48] will stick around. Any more

[1:27:51] comments or questions? >

[1:27:54] >> I appreciate his

[1:27:57] chants about

[1:27:59] classroom space. I'm glad to hear

[1:28:03] that. I was wondering

[1:28:05] about that. Timing for you call it

[1:28:06] is district

[1:28:07] education. I guess that's the fancy

[1:28:09] words for,

[1:28:11] you know district headquarters. What

[1:28:12] --

[1:28:15] do you have an idea on

[1:28:17] the time frame and what --not quite

[1:28:18] legacy but what would

[1:28:21] happen to the

[1:28:24] existing headquarters?

[1:28:25] >> so great

[1:28:26] questions. Both --the --we don't have

[1:28:27] a timeline we are working

[1:28:29] through the process with the governing

[1:28:30] board and we

[1:28:32] will be sharing updates with the community

[1:28:33] in terms

[1:28:36] of what timelines

[1:28:38] would look like. As such because we

[1:28:41] are still occupying the current district

[1:28:42] office we

[1:28:44] do not have any plans for disposition

[1:28:45] at this

[1:28:47] point. I think that once we are further

[1:28:51] along

[1:28:53] in the process on --where we will eventually

[1:28:54] go

[1:28:57] --we will start to

[1:29:00] formulate any ideas about this existing space

[1:29:02] and the other thing I would add to

[1:29:03] the

[1:29:05] mayor's comments is, you know, the

[1:29:06] other

[1:29:09] sort of peace --we are here for legacy

[1:29:12] is that measure j. We have in addition

[1:29:14] to what's happening at legacy. We

[1:29:15] have

[1:29:17] important work that's happening at school sites

[1:29:18] as part

[1:29:21] of the phase one to bring the older schools

[1:29:23] up to a certain standard and in alignment with

[1:29:24] some of

[1:29:27] the newer schools and --

[1:29:30] so, ourschools are our priority and

[1:29:33] recognize and appreciate that confidence.

[1:29:34] >>

[1:29:35] comments?

[1:29:36] >> thank you for the presentation. I

[1:29:37] am -- a

[1:29:38] proud father of two daughters who

[1:29:39] went

[1:29:41] to pioneer and peter's canyon. Had

[1:29:42] a

[1:29:44] great academic experience. Thank you

[1:29:45] very much. Mark johnson and

[1:29:48] the rest of the teachers did a

[1:29:50] good job educating my daughters. You

[1:29:51] did mention

[1:29:54] measure j. I'm glad to see that money

[1:29:57] will be set aside

[1:29:58] for schools to bring the schools up to speed

[1:30:00] and code. I wanted to ask

[1:30:02] about school safety since something that's been important to

[1:30:03] me and I know that

[1:30:06] part

[1:30:08] of those measure j dollars are going

[1:30:11] toward school safety enhancements. I

[1:30:15] want to get a sense of how much will

[1:30:16] be dedicated to schools and other

[1:30:18] safety measures and are you able

[1:30:21] to talk about and what of the enhancements might

[1:30:24] be?

[1:30:25] >> great question. While I

[1:30:26] can't give you a specific dollar amount because

[1:30:27] those things

[1:30:29] sort of changing I can say that we

[1:30:30] are already started to

[1:30:32] make those investments in the school. We --

[1:30:36] as part of the --measure j we always want

[1:30:37] to commit to our community that we

[1:30:39] are going to put the dollars to work

[1:30:42] as soon as we can and

[1:30:43] we thought security enhancements was

[1:30:45] the first place

[1:30:48] to start. So, all

[1:30:51] of our schools received

[1:30:52] access controls, upgrades which essentially

[1:30:54] for those that

[1:30:56] have ring cameras at your homes it is

[1:30:57] a --

[1:31:00] a camera based system where we can

[1:31:03] see out and we

[1:31:06] can buzz people, visitors into

[1:31:07] it. No longer can anyone just walk

[1:31:09] up to a door and sort of access

[1:31:12] our facilities. They have to be

[1:31:15] let in. So that's --that's one

[1:31:18] phase. In addition when we think about

[1:31:21] making hard

[1:31:24] targets we are

[1:31:27] expanding cameras. Not

[1:31:30] all school sites have

[1:31:32] camera systems. Over the next several

[1:31:33] summers we will

[1:31:36] continue to expand installations on existing

[1:31:37] campuses

[1:31:39] and then adding two campus that don't

[1:31:40] currently

[1:31:42] have the systems in place. There is

[1:31:43] --

[1:31:45] there's a long process involved in identifying

[1:31:48] the right system that will work for

[1:31:49] what we

[1:31:51] need to do and so I'm proud to

[1:31:54] say that our work has started and

[1:31:57] we have with these measure

[1:32:03] j dollarsprioritized

[1:32:06] safety.

[1:32:07] >> as you go

[1:32:09] through the evaluations are

[1:32:12] you working with tustinpd as well?

[1:32:13] >>

[1:32:15] great. Thank you.

[1:32:16] >>

[1:32:18] yeah. Just to piggy back on

[1:32:21] that the camera installations. A couple

[1:32:22] of goss

[1:32:24] a tour of the county location and they

[1:32:27] have camera system that integrate

[1:32:28] at

[1:32:30] school low cases to they can get

[1:32:33] access to a situation -- realtime

[1:32:34] data

[1:32:36] and I would hope that --in your camera

[1:32:38] installation coordinating tustin that

[1:32:39] we have that

[1:32:42] integration.

[1:32:43] >> camera systems in

[1:32:45] this day and

[1:32:48] age are high quality and allow for

[1:32:49] a

[1:32:51] lot of integration

[1:32:55] and so absolutely our assistant

[1:32:56] superintendent at admin services he

[1:32:58] is leading

[1:32:59] our safety improvements. Him and his

[1:33:01] team have been doing a

[1:33:04] great job ofvetting and actually

[1:33:05] working with stake holders to mechanic

[1:33:07] sure we put the right

[1:33:09] systems in place to secure campuses.

[1:33:10] >>

[1:33:12] additional comments, questions? All

[1:33:13] right. Thank you.

[1:33:14] >>

[1:33:19] appreciate it.

[1:33:21] >> all right I understand because

[1:33:22] the councilmembers

[1:33:24] are talking to much we are a little

[1:33:25] behind time I would like to

[1:33:28] invite the city of t ustin

[1:33:31] to

[1:33:33] come up and present.

[1:33:34] >> good evening

[1:33:35] mayor, council,

[1:33:36] members of the community. I will try

[1:33:39] to be quick I --I get the pleasure of

[1:33:40] talking

[1:33:43] about

[1:33:45] the city's economic conveyance property. I

[1:33:46] will

[1:33:48] touch on a few topics briefly on what's

[1:33:49] been developed

[1:33:50] what's remaining. Talk about some

[1:33:52] of our recently

[1:33:53] completed projects with reexcited

[1:33:58] to share. Active

[1:34:01] projects we

[1:34:03] are excited to share. So just quickly you

[1:34:04] have

[1:34:06] heard from a lot of our partners. This

[1:34:07] is a

[1:34:09] map of tustin legacy. This is on the

[1:34:10] website as well

[1:34:13] showing everything that's been

[1:34:15] built to date. Jorge went through

[1:34:16] the background. You can see a

[1:34:19] lot of the red property. They

[1:34:21] have been discussed. What does the city

[1:34:22] have

[1:34:23] left? Everything you see in purple here

[1:34:25] is part

[1:34:26] of the city's economic development

[1:34:27] property and I will touch on a lot

[1:34:28] of projects with

[1:34:29] in these purple areas this are about

[1:34:31] to be completed or

[1:34:34] are coming up

[1:34:37] online here

[1:34:38] shortly. Recently completed projects. Just

[1:34:40] you can

[1:34:41] throw a rock hit it. We have the dog

[1:34:43] park that just opened

[1:34:45] up earlier this year. First dog park in

[1:34:46] the

[1:34:49] city. It's frequented by a lot

[1:34:52] of tustin residents. About a --

[1:34:54] just under a two million dollars project. Look

[1:34:55] forward

[1:34:58] to seeing more people out there

[1:35:00] in the future. One thing that george

[1:35:03] touched on and also our fines is the

[1:35:04] city council

[1:35:06] just recently approved a specific plan

[1:35:07] amendment

[1:35:09] in tustin legacy. Part of the broader

[1:35:10] city wide

[1:35:12] housing rezone. You hear on the news a

[1:35:13] lot of cities

[1:35:15] are having to deal with adding new

[1:35:16] residential

[1:35:19] units to accommodate all of

[1:35:21] the new requirements for the state. You

[1:35:22] can see in

[1:35:25] the various neighborhoods, 200 units were

[1:35:28] added to neighborhood

[1:35:31] g, 1900

[1:35:32] to neighborhood e. There's the it

[1:35:37] is total

[1:35:39] numbers. Active projects. One project

[1:35:40] you probably drove by on

[1:35:43] your way here. A lot of craters and dirt

[1:35:46] being moved around. The neighborhood

[1:35:49] infrastructure project. A big

[1:35:51] creating operation putting in new

[1:35:52] utilities. Cutting new street that

[1:35:54] will be setting up a number of projects. We

[1:35:55] will

[1:35:58] talk about a senior product

[1:36:01] and setting up that project. The next

[1:36:04] phase of

[1:36:05] tustin legacy park. Some power for

[1:36:07] the south

[1:36:09] hanger. This is estimated to we complete by

[1:36:10] the end

[1:36:13] of the current

[1:36:14] calendar year. I mentioned a senior

[1:36:16] project. We

[1:36:18] are working with a senior developer. This is

[1:36:19] a kind of two

[1:36:22] part project one is an active adult

[1:36:25] which is independent

[1:36:29] living for seniors. About 170. The

[1:36:31] other half of the project is

[1:36:34] for assisted living and memory

[1:36:36] care. More of commercial type use. They

[1:36:37] will be operated

[1:36:39] by clearwater with a couple of communities

[1:36:40] here. One in

[1:36:42] north tustin and one in newport beach. It's

[1:36:43] about a six

[1:36:46] acre site. We

[1:36:49] are working through the

[1:36:52] business deals for

[1:36:54] that. Mention the armstrong avenue

[1:36:55] pedestrian bring. Something

[1:36:58] you drove by was two big mounds

[1:37:00] over armstrong. That will be for a

[1:37:01] future pedestrian bridge that will

[1:37:03] connect the first part of the park

[1:37:04] in to the second

[1:37:07] part of the park which I touched on

[1:37:08] earlier. Mounds

[1:37:09] out there to settle for a little bit

[1:37:10] and then they will

[1:37:12] be cut back and the project is out

[1:37:13] to

[1:37:16] bid looking to

[1:37:18] have construction going by 2026. The

[1:37:19] next part

[1:37:21] will be coinciding with that bridge and

[1:37:22] other improvements. It's

[1:37:24] a five acre park site. It'll have

[1:37:25] a

[1:37:27] few different zones. Right now we are

[1:37:28] working through the

[1:37:29] final design drawings, looking to have

[1:37:31] it out to bid

[1:37:34] in early 2026 and construction

[1:37:36] following shortly after that. Really

[1:37:37] exciting project that

[1:37:39] the council approved early their year

[1:37:40] is going to be

[1:37:43] a project

[1:37:46] with the irvine company. 25% of those

[1:37:49] will be for lower income households. Part of one

[1:37:50] of

[1:37:52] the state's requirements

[1:37:55] for public property. There will be

[1:37:58] a publicly accessible park, and

[1:38:01] will really help the city with

[1:38:03] this project specifically. We are working

[1:38:04] through final issues with

[1:38:07] the company looking to close early

[1:38:08] in 2026

[1:38:10] and

[1:38:13] starting construction shortly after that. Some things coming

[1:38:14] down the pike we

[1:38:16] are working on is a offering for corner

[1:38:17] stone

[1:38:19] two. Just across the park is a 52-acre site. We

[1:38:22] are working with ccp real estate

[1:38:25] and srs real state. This will be an

[1:38:28] offering for most likely a retail project

[1:38:29] with

[1:38:31] other mixed uses. The offering was

[1:38:32] released earlier this

[1:38:33] year with city council blessing looking

[1:38:34] to have them in

[1:38:37] the next week or two. More

[1:38:40] updates shortly after

[1:38:42] that. Some pending offerings we are

[1:38:43] working on. The projects --the

[1:38:46] properties noted in purple. We are

[1:38:48] looking at 21 acres in neighborhood

[1:38:50] e which is just across the

[1:38:52] site here from flight. Then 24 acres

[1:38:53] in

[1:38:56] neighborhood d south which is

[1:38:58] just across next to the landing community. Both

[1:39:01] of them will more than likely be released

[1:39:05] later this

[1:39:08] year in fall. The

[1:39:11] hanger sites specifically. Gorge

[1:39:13] touched on this. South hanger is owned

[1:39:16] by the navy. A lot of the environmental

[1:39:19] issues we talked about. The city has

[1:39:20] used that

[1:39:21] building for a lot of temporary uses in

[1:39:23] the past. There's

[1:39:25] been a lot of filming and community

[1:39:26] event that have

[1:39:29] happened in there, nothing on a

[1:39:31] longer term basis. We did a structural

[1:39:32] assessment

[1:39:35] and reuse analysis

[1:39:37] in 2014 that looked add --temporary

[1:39:38] uses

[1:39:41] up to big full

[1:39:47] occupance sincerity

[1:39:48] occupancy. We are looking at a lot

[1:39:50] of different ways of

[1:39:51] doing that. What are things moving

[1:39:53] forward. We are looking at

[1:39:56] a lot of

[1:39:57] temporary upgrades, electrical, and

[1:39:59] other improvements we will

[1:40:00] talk about shortly. The biggest thing

[1:40:02] we are working on is

[1:40:04] in response to the north hanger fire

[1:40:05] what are ways

[1:40:07] we can harden or just better protect

[1:40:08] the south

[1:40:09] hanger moving forward? I put a list together

[1:40:11] on the slide here of all

[1:40:14] the things that the city and the

[1:40:15] city council approved since the north

[1:40:17] hanger

[1:40:19] fire. We have on side security. We

[1:40:20] have mobile

[1:40:23] camera trailers. We have lights

[1:40:25] co located. We have temporary power

[1:40:26] to provide power

[1:40:29] to the egress. We modified

[1:40:32] some of the

[1:40:33] egress. There's razor wire around

[1:40:35] the building. We have a fire panel

[1:40:38] and fire alarm system. We have water

[1:40:40] and hydrants for the building as well. What

[1:40:46] are the costs? We have the costs for each

[1:40:47] the

[1:40:49] past fiscal years or the last two

[1:40:50] and

[1:40:53] the current one. The

[1:40:56] cameras are on a rental basis. Lighting

[1:40:58] and you can see all the other costs. About

[1:40:59] just over a million dollars

[1:41:01] a year and just kind of ongoing rentals

[1:41:02] and basic security

[1:41:05] for

[1:41:06] the south hanger. We have also looked

[1:41:08] at

[1:41:10] some bigger improvements to help harden

[1:41:11] the building,

[1:41:13] more of a property approach. We looked

[1:41:14] at permanent electric

[1:41:15] sincerity. We completed design. It's

[1:41:17] a million and a half

[1:41:19] construction site. We have permanent

[1:41:20] outside cameras. The

[1:41:23] designs part

[1:41:26] of the electricity package.

[1:41:36] the additional hydrants and -- that

[1:41:38] will be one and a half

[1:41:41] and then we are working on a

[1:41:44] complete fire technical analysis

[1:41:45] report. All those improvement also

[1:41:47] be five and a half to six molasses that

[1:41:49] are just going into better protecting the

[1:41:50] building on

[1:41:52] a one time basis. That doesn't increase

[1:41:53] the use of the

[1:41:56] building if that makes sense. We are

[1:41:59] looking protecting it under these improvements. Not

[1:42:00] making

[1:42:02] easier to

[1:42:04] use.

[1:42:05] >> so, an option that --options

[1:42:06] we have been wrestling with

[1:42:07] here is do we want to keep renting the

[1:42:08] things,

[1:42:10] the cameras, lights or should we move

[1:42:11] in those directions

[1:42:12] of the permanent installations of the projects

[1:42:14] I just listed. The

[1:42:16] graph on the list show itself you

[1:42:17] just

[1:42:19] keep going the rental route --that million

[1:42:20] and a half on a

[1:42:22] yearly basis. You spent about $10

[1:42:26] million over the next

[1:42:27] several million years. You want mortgage

[1:42:29] of the

[1:42:32] permanent installation routes. You

[1:42:33] are

[1:42:35] looking at a 14, $15 million

[1:42:38] in the next several years. This is

[1:42:41] just focused on property protection

[1:42:42] that wouldn't

[1:42:44] make the building more usable than

[1:42:46] it currently is.

[1:42:47] >> quick on the south hanger ly

[1:42:48] move to

[1:42:49] the north hanger site. George talked

[1:42:50] about this. This

[1:42:53] is about an 85-acre site. The city

[1:42:54] doesn't have

[1:42:55] a lease on this. We have a license that

[1:42:56] lets you go out and

[1:42:59] trim some of

[1:43:02] the weeds. Get better line of sight. The

[1:43:03] regional park

[1:43:05] use was removed as george mentioned. We

[1:43:08] are going through a

[1:43:11] reuse planning process. Options for

[1:43:12] the

[1:43:13] community to consider here shortly in

[1:43:14] the near

[1:43:17] future. In conjunction with the communication

[1:43:18] process where they

[1:43:19] are collecting a lot of your input

[1:43:20] for what you want to see on

[1:43:22] the north and south hanger sites and how

[1:43:23] to communicate that bet

[1:43:26] we are the community. Just to know

[1:43:28] as george said we --the city will

[1:43:29] plan it but we may

[1:43:31] end up taking the properties. We are

[1:43:32] going to come up

[1:43:35] with a plan and develop -- whether

[1:43:36] that's

[1:43:37] the city, partially to the city or not

[1:43:41] the city at all.

[1:43:42] >>

[1:43:43] my last two slides were focused on

[1:43:44] the

[1:43:45] north hanger fire. Wanted to address

[1:43:47] this for the community. Take the

[1:43:49] opportunity. We know that the fire

[1:43:50] started on

[1:43:52] november 7th. Burned for 24 days. Lot

[1:43:53] of debris went

[1:43:56] into around the property

[1:43:58] and the community. Investigation is

[1:43:59] closed. November

[1:44:02] 10th the city council called a specialmeeting

[1:44:05] and the navy's request the

[1:44:07] city council signed up to take on

[1:44:08] the responsibility for cleaning up

[1:44:11] the responsibility into all of

[1:44:14] the nearby neighborhoods. They have

[1:44:15] a

[1:44:16] cooperative agreement for contractors bringing

[1:44:17] all

[1:44:19] the debris removal the air monitoring and

[1:44:20] the legal

[1:44:22] and project management all that as

[1:44:23] part of the cooperative management

[1:44:26] and all the clean unoverseen by all

[1:44:29] the regulatory agencies I

[1:44:31] won't list the soup. There's a lot.

[1:44:38] there was multiple rounds

[1:44:40] of clean up. City and contractors

[1:44:42] would take requests

[1:44:43] for the community. Assess, clean up

[1:44:45] and then assess to make

[1:44:46] sure it was cleaned up correctly. There

[1:44:48] was a final east

[1:44:49] with the above ground route where

[1:44:51] the regulator said if you go

[1:44:52] out and make sure there's nothing else on

[1:44:54] roofs and gutter

[1:44:56] that would be sufficient to get everything done. What we

[1:44:57] found is

[1:44:59] that we would clean a house and then you

[1:45:00] winds would

[1:45:03] happen and more debris

[1:45:04] would fall down. The above ground

[1:45:06] effort was a one time

[1:45:07] last effort to finish. That work was

[1:45:09] completed

[1:45:11] earlier this year. Also the navy's

[1:45:12] contract,

[1:45:13] the navy issued a contract to clean

[1:45:15] up the debris in the hanger

[1:45:18] foot print. That was an $18

[1:45:20] million contract. Their work was done

[1:45:21] earlier and

[1:45:22] back in july just a month ago. All

[1:45:24] work by the city

[1:45:26] and the navy is done for on site and

[1:45:27] community

[1:45:29] clean up. In the report writing phase

[1:45:30] with

[1:45:31] all of the regulatory issues that

[1:45:33] all the

[1:45:34] efforts done were sufficiently protective

[1:45:36] of

[1:45:39] health and

[1:45:45] the iron environment. To date the

[1:45:48] navy paid us

[1:45:50] just shy of $80 million. This is kind of

[1:45:53] the tuned to thank the council for all

[1:45:55] the work. The staff, everybody who

[1:45:57] is on site the day of,

[1:46:00] the days following. The

[1:46:02] weeks knowledging. Congresswoman kim

[1:46:03] was important in our

[1:46:05] conversation was the navy and other

[1:46:06] regulatory agencies,

[1:46:09] the navy staff who I spent

[1:46:12] a number of countless hours on

[1:46:15] the phone with. Tusd

[1:46:17] on school closures, school openings,

[1:46:18] their investigation and then all

[1:46:20] of the partners I forgot to list, list

[1:46:23] and all of the community members with our

[1:46:24] patients and understanding

[1:46:27] this is kind of

[1:46:28] a very unique situation. That's my

[1:46:30] presentation. I would be happy

[1:46:33] to take any questions.

[1:46:34] >>

[1:46:36] thank you. You jumped through a

[1:46:39] lot in a very quick and concise timeline. If

[1:46:40] you have additional questions from

[1:46:42] the public that's what the open

[1:46:44] house is for. Really we will have

[1:46:45] a

[1:46:46] public comment opportunity here but

[1:46:48] staff, and the council I think

[1:46:50] most of us if not all of us will be

[1:46:51] available to talk

[1:46:53] to you about more in details and what the

[1:46:54] city is doing

[1:46:56] in our efforts so thank you. Do we

[1:46:57] have

[1:47:00] questions or

[1:47:03] comments for ken?

[1:47:04] >> yeah. Kent, thank

[1:47:05] you for this. Thank you to everybody

[1:47:06] who is worked on

[1:47:07] this from the city. You were talking

[1:47:09] about the

[1:47:12] costs for a full

[1:47:15] --they are somewhat out dated numbers

[1:47:18] but it's a baseline to rehab

[1:47:19] this hanger. There's also -- there

[1:47:21] was also an estimate for

[1:47:23] cost of taking it down which is what

[1:47:24] was

[1:47:27] it? Somewhere in the $40 million neighborhood?

[1:47:28] >>

[1:47:30] yeah.

[1:47:31] >> not confirmed. >>

[1:47:32] not confirmed. 20 to $40 million or

[1:47:33] a

[1:47:36] similar hanger

[1:47:39] up in sunnyvale. The moffet, nasa. There's

[1:47:42] two hangers

[1:47:45] up there.

[1:47:46] >>

[1:47:47] there's just cost. It's important

[1:47:48] to know and we don't where

[1:47:53] --we have have a lot of activity at

[1:47:54] the

[1:47:56] south hanger. Do we have an active marketing

[1:47:57] plan for the

[1:47:59] south hanger uses this time?

[1:48:00] >> right

[1:48:01] now on

[1:48:03] the city's website is listed as we aren't

[1:48:05] accepting rentals. With very some

[1:48:06] legacy

[1:48:09] tenants who

[1:48:10] know the operation. Understand the

[1:48:12] operation and

[1:48:15] the sensitivities. One of those groups

[1:48:17] that we take everything on a case

[1:48:18] by

[1:48:21] case basis.

[1:48:22] >> okay. Just expand on

[1:48:23] that more. With the north hanger fire the

[1:48:24] city has

[1:48:27] taken all the measures. We didn't

[1:48:28] want a

[1:48:29] lot of people walking in and out of the

[1:48:30] south hanger until it was safe

[1:48:33] and secure. More questions and comments?

[1:48:34] >>

[1:48:36] I wanted to kind of --you went through

[1:48:37] that really

[1:48:38] quickly I appreciate the presentation. On the

[1:48:39] city's front you

[1:48:41] can get prepare to ask us questions

[1:48:42] and tell us we are doing a bad

[1:48:45] job if you want to. We have

[1:48:48] got --about a hundred acres on

[1:48:51] the market now between corner

[1:48:54] stone and 52 acres and flight

[1:48:57] 2.0 by is 24 acres. That

[1:49:00] is a result of staff and the council

[1:49:01] getting on the same

[1:49:02] page and saying we can't sit around

[1:49:03] and let the

[1:49:06] property we do control just sit empty we

[1:49:07] need

[1:49:09] to develop it and get to

[1:49:12] it. In the vein I was talking about

[1:49:15] earlier. We were holding our partners

[1:49:16] accountable for construction

[1:49:18] and he we wanted to

[1:49:20] be account build to the city to the

[1:49:21] residents and to

[1:49:23] the community. Thank you staff forgetting

[1:49:24] on board with

[1:49:26] that and really pushing the ball. We

[1:49:27] take a lot of momentum that

[1:49:29] you have seen in the slides and it'll

[1:49:30] be exciting over

[1:49:32] the next two to five years as the

[1:49:33] projects start to go

[1:49:36] vert val and have a lot

[1:49:39] of the amenities. Have a lot

[1:49:40] of the addition --the company project.

[1:49:51] it was up to

[1:49:53] 25, 30 years. Now we are talking a

[1:49:54] shorter

[1:49:55] timeline. We want to make sure all

[1:49:57] of the partners are engaged and we

[1:49:58] are

[1:50:00] in lock step in how we

[1:50:02] develop the base. Everybody asks about

[1:50:06] the hangers. We ask about

[1:50:09] the hangers. We had the

[1:50:12] fire which put a

[1:50:14] big -- main reality what we have feared and

[1:50:15] --we

[1:50:18] have the costs that councilmember

[1:50:19] fink

[1:50:21] was talking about just to keep the

[1:50:22] south

[1:50:24] hanger safe. The city has a financial

[1:50:26] obligation that we can't pay for in

[1:50:27] short term leases. We do

[1:50:30] car commercials. We have $30,000. The

[1:50:32] defense costs over a million dollars

[1:50:33] to install. We are taking a hard local

[1:50:35] and we committed as a council and

[1:50:37] city organization to talk

[1:50:39] with our public about real financial numbers

[1:50:40] that

[1:50:41] you saw on the slides. What it means

[1:50:43] to keep the hanger

[1:50:44] standing which we would all like. Most of

[1:50:46] us would like. What

[1:50:47] it means to potentially have to take

[1:50:49] it down and also

[1:50:51] what the risk is that we just bore

[1:50:54] --the navy just bore with having the

[1:50:55] north hanger

[1:50:57] burnt. A lot of stuff coming up in

[1:50:58] the

[1:50:59] near future and hopefully you are

[1:51:01] seeing this. Are the slides

[1:51:04] going to be available online on the website? We

[1:51:05] had -- you know six presentations

[1:51:07] today and I sat through

[1:51:08] two hours of fire hose of content

[1:51:10] f you want to

[1:51:11] revisit some of that you can go on

[1:51:13] the website and check out

[1:51:15] the slides. I will turn it over to

[1:51:16] city manager

[1:51:19] for some closing comments and

[1:51:22] we will take

[1:51:23] public comments. If there aren't any

[1:51:24] we will move into the open house to

[1:51:28] have a more casual dialogue.

[1:51:29] >>

[1:51:30] I want to thank all our partners for

[1:51:31] the presentations

[1:51:32] tonight. With that I will turn it

[1:51:34] back to you to open

[1:51:35] public comment.

[1:51:36] >> thank you. So we

[1:51:37] are going to take

[1:51:38] public comment. If you want to make

[1:51:39] a formal comment on the record you can come

[1:51:40] up

[1:51:42] to the microphone here and address the

[1:51:46] lra

[1:51:48] on anything that we just discussed. I

[1:51:49] don't know if we

[1:51:52] have any requests to speak.

[1:51:53] >>

[1:51:54] we have one request to speak in person

[1:51:55] and

[1:51:57] then it's william johnson.

[1:51:58] >> okay. If

[1:51:59] you

[1:52:00] want to speak and you haven't filled

[1:52:01] --do we have cards?

[1:52:02] >> we do. >>

[1:52:04] filled out a card you can

[1:52:06] come up here and speak and then fill out

[1:52:07] a card or fill out

[1:52:13] come speak. Mr.

[1:52:16] johnson, go head.

[1:52:17] >> just because

[1:52:18] of restrictions please try to keep your

[1:52:19] comments to three minutes or less

[1:52:20] if

[1:52:22] you can. Thank you.

[1:52:23] >> thank you

[1:52:24] very much. We're in a rush so I will try

[1:52:25] to slow

[1:52:28] everything down for a second. Momentum,

[1:52:30] team work, those are great themes

[1:52:31] by the school

[1:52:34] district thank you

[1:52:36] very much. I will start on refugee

[1:52:37] and in

[1:52:40] fo rt ress, in spirit we

[1:52:43] can trust. In ardo r and thanksgiving

[1:52:44] come have

[1:52:46] a beer

[1:52:49] with us. An

[1:52:52] athlete graduate from t ustin

[1:52:55] in 02. I

[1:52:57] competed internationally. I moved

[1:52:58] my city

[1:53:00] here with an outbarred the future, very

[1:53:01] excited to hear this

[1:53:03] deep discussion this evening. Thank you

[1:53:04] to

[1:53:06] all the public servants and to those who

[1:53:07] spoke I'm here on

[1:53:09] a topic of history. I wanted to put

[1:53:13] in the public mind that this

[1:53:16] week important historical event

[1:53:18] is happening. Tustin high school will

[1:53:19] open

[1:53:22] it's home football game against

[1:53:24] the tritons. They the 11th ranked

[1:53:25] team

[1:53:26] in california. We can beat them we

[1:53:28] have the horses to do

[1:53:29] it. I would like to invite everybody

[1:53:31] in the spirit of community

[1:53:34] to come to that game. At half

[1:53:37] time of that game melissa

[1:53:40] trout has worked to build

[1:53:43] a hall of fame for tustin and

[1:53:45] it's athletes. We will honor the third inducte

[1:53:47] into that organization. The first

[1:53:49] was coach miller

[1:53:52] who

[1:53:55] made the team. The third

[1:53:57] is chris chester, a dear personal friend of

[1:53:58] minute and I carry

[1:54:01] the duty of organizing the community

[1:54:02] of

[1:54:04] supporters around him. A lot of important

[1:54:05] topics

[1:54:07] on the topic of the future and these

[1:54:08] new technologies

[1:54:10] which we are

[1:54:13] going

[1:54:16] to find education. I was taught that

[1:54:17] really

[1:54:18] great businesses and great futures formed

[1:54:19] not

[1:54:22] on new technologies but on ancient

[1:54:25] technology that don't. As we all talk

[1:54:27] here about forming community and the lots

[1:54:28] of land we are

[1:54:30] parceling up I invite everybody to

[1:54:31] think about

[1:54:33] tribes and which tribe you support and

[1:54:34] I invite you to support my

[1:54:37] tribe, the tailors. Join us please

[1:54:40] at an ancient

[1:54:41] gathering, newly formed called game

[1:54:43] craft. Have you been talking about. I

[1:54:46] support that. They are working with

[1:54:47] simple technologies

[1:54:49] like parkbenches

[1:54:52] and beers. Locally brewed beers. You

[1:54:53] can

[1:54:54] join us at 5:00 for that or 7:00 for

[1:54:55] the kickoff and

[1:54:58] half time celebration. I believe

[1:55:01] that these technologies transforming

[1:55:02] in ways

[1:55:03] we don't truly understand. I believe

[1:55:04] the redevelopment

[1:55:06] of tustin is one of the most important

[1:55:07] topics we have so thank you

[1:55:10] for the

[1:55:11] leadership. I believe that there are topic

[1:55:13] that are far bigger being discussed

[1:55:15] in the national state and local level

[1:55:16] that all

[1:55:19] politics is local so I'm happy to

[1:55:20] be here. I

[1:55:22] would be happy to talk to anyone that

[1:55:23] wants

[1:55:24] to come talk football or anything

[1:55:25] else this friday, thank

[1:55:28] you very much.

[1:55:29] >> okay. Thank you

[1:55:32] for your comments. Any time you

[1:55:35] mention beer, councilmember gallagher gets

[1:55:37] excited. Do we have --yeah. I don't know. We need

[1:55:38] --

[1:55:41] maybe the city clerk or staff can

[1:55:43] help coordinate I can't call on hands. If

[1:55:44] we can

[1:55:46] get cards passed out or if --how many want

[1:55:50] to speak? Just two? Three. All

[1:55:51] right. We will go in order that you

[1:55:53] are in. From

[1:55:56] me to back. Sir? You will be

[1:55:57] next and I can't see because of the lights. Third in

[1:55:59] the back.

[1:56:00] >> if

[1:56:01] you can just state your name for the

[1:56:04] record.

[1:56:05] >> my name is si ellis. I'm

[1:56:08] the commander

[1:56:10] of the american legion. We represent

[1:56:13] all the military veterans in the city and

[1:56:14] the reason that

[1:56:17] I came up to speak is

[1:56:20] that I want to

[1:56:21] thank bryan and the orange county

[1:56:23] rescue mission for what they

[1:56:26] do for our veterans,

[1:56:29] for the veteran's

[1:56:31] out post that they support. You do

[1:56:32] a great

[1:56:35] job for our veterans. Thank you.

[1:56:50] >> I

[1:56:51] normally represent the history of

[1:56:53] this town but I also

[1:56:56] represent the people that died --

[1:56:58] that left here. We have been trying

[1:56:59] to

[1:57:00] save something at the hanger for ten

[1:57:02] years and we had an

[1:57:03] event about ten years and I started

[1:57:05] save

[1:57:06] the hanger's.com. We tried to see

[1:57:08] what was going on

[1:57:10] and now I understand more all the things

[1:57:11] you

[1:57:13] are going through. I had no idea how

[1:57:17] complex I knew nobody would

[1:57:19] get together. I --we had a meeting a

[1:57:20] couple of men on

[1:57:23] the board here that basically met

[1:57:24] with

[1:57:26] the general over

[1:57:29] in irvine that are

[1:57:32] --40 to $60 million

[1:57:33] museum. I hope that people don't just

[1:57:35] go to the

[1:57:37] flying leathernecks and then to hollywood

[1:57:38] or

[1:57:41] go to some other

[1:57:44] area. That

[1:57:46] stop here and go to a building that

[1:57:47] I

[1:57:49] would love to save that used to bring

[1:57:53] in helicopters safely and also

[1:57:55] the blimps. I want that building and

[1:57:58] the towers saved someplace even if

[1:57:59] it's next to

[1:58:02] the hanger that maybe torn down at

[1:58:05] least we can tell people your

[1:58:07] son or grandfather didn't die in vain. We

[1:58:08] have

[1:58:10] the memory of him and also all the other people that

[1:58:11] were there. The

[1:58:14] people that fed them. The people

[1:58:17] that had all the fun

[1:58:18] and enjoy going to the church and

[1:58:20] being married there which

[1:58:22] was torn down. So what I'm saying a

[1:58:26] lot

[1:58:28] of memories. This is a military town. I

[1:58:29] grew up as a military kid traving

[1:58:31] every two years. Is there pollution

[1:58:32] in

[1:58:34] this area? Absolutely. I remember

[1:58:35] being up in

[1:58:37] marin count which where the planes

[1:58:38] with coming in to land

[1:58:41] and watching my dad and having sometimes

[1:58:42] the

[1:58:44] guys have to dump the fuel in

[1:58:47] the bay. So, wherever there is military

[1:58:48] you will

[1:58:50] find this pollution and we were

[1:58:52] informed by the gentleman that took over

[1:58:53] in

[1:58:55] san diego that was watching the clean up

[1:58:56] from --we

[1:58:59] are dealing the navy here. They said

[1:59:02] to me actually --emailed to us

[1:59:04] that they were going to condemn the

[1:59:05] area

[1:59:07] for a decade where the building is. They

[1:59:08] said we

[1:59:11] love your idea for a museum. We always

[1:59:13] have but you can't keep it here. Have

[1:59:14] you to move it and I gave that

[1:59:17] information to the mayor and the mayor

[1:59:18] said

[1:59:20] I didn't

[1:59:22] know that. We still have a lack of

[1:59:23] communication

[1:59:25] with the navy and this gentleman stood

[1:59:26] up and talked about

[1:59:29] it. I was in the military, yeah, I

[1:59:30] know. It

[1:59:32] takes a long time to get

[1:59:34] an answer. Please think beyond all

[1:59:35] the wonderful

[1:59:37] things that you guys are doing and I

[1:59:38] think it's

[1:59:39] fabulous what you are doing. Please

[1:59:41] save something for the memory of

[1:59:43] the people that made it possible for

[1:59:44] you to do what

[1:59:47] ru doing today. Thank you.

[1:59:48] >>

[1:59:50] thank you.

[1:59:51] >>

[1:59:56] and now -- sir, go head. Go

[1:59:58] head. Just let everybody know. It's 7:01 the

[1:59:59] open house is open

[2:00:01] I think. Once we are done we will

[2:00:02] all move up

[2:00:05] there.

[2:00:06] >> hello. I'm just

[2:00:08] a resident here. I really appreciated

[2:00:11] one of the -- theme of this nights

[2:00:12] which

[2:00:14] was safety. For the schools

[2:00:17] --especially with

[2:00:19] the armstrong bridge because car death

[2:00:20] deaths

[2:00:23] one of the biggest dangers for children

[2:00:24] and for

[2:00:25] just us adults too. We deserve to

[2:00:26] live too. I

[2:00:28] really appreciate some of that safety

[2:00:29] and I hope that you

[2:00:32] keep in mind with these

[2:00:35] development plans about how

[2:00:38] to minimize traffic

[2:00:40] violence, especially for a lot of

[2:00:41] these facilities which

[2:00:45] are public

[2:00:47] goods and schools, so, finding ways

[2:00:51] that we can get

[2:00:53] people around in these new communities

[2:00:54] safely. Thank you.

[2:00:55] >>

[2:00:57] all right. Thank you for your

[2:00:58] comments. Do we have any other questions

[2:01:00] to speak in

[2:01:03] the room? Anyone online?

[2:01:04] >>

[2:01:06] no.

[2:01:07] >> okay. See what

[2:01:09] my

[2:01:12] agenda says. All right. No

[2:01:15] vote is required. Because

[2:01:17] it's a receive and file item. So the recommendation

[2:01:18] is

[2:01:20] that the city council -- receive and

[2:01:24] file the presentation and we

[2:01:25] will. Mr. City manager do you have

[2:01:27] a report?

[2:01:28] >> no report

[2:01:29] tonight.

[2:01:30] >> mr. City attorney. >>

[2:01:31] no further report.

[2:01:32] >> thank

[2:01:33] you. Bring it back to council and

[2:01:34] I

[2:01:35] will encourage us to be brief.

[2:01:36] >> mr.

[2:01:37] mayor. We have one request to speak

[2:01:39] out in the atrium.

[2:01:40] >>

[2:01:41] okay. We will bring it back to the public comment.

[2:01:49] >> if you are automatic in the atrium

[2:01:51] and

[2:01:53] you wanted to formerly address the

[2:01:54] council

[2:01:57] please come in this room.

[2:02:06] >>

[2:02:09] hello. I'm

[2:02:11] a father, community member and just

[2:02:15] wanted to speak on if

[2:02:18] the level of remediation that is going on

[2:02:19] with in
