[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. >>

[1:52:16] 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
