[14:24] I remember doing my first turn as a council member. I was invited to go to the high school and

[15:00] How I should encourage them. And what I said to them was, you know, there's nothing nowhere to go down, but go up. But I can tell you, you know, out there, you know, they're talking about one of football is solved, you know, they're using all kinds of work. They don't have a study. They don't have a play football. They're solved. They're not tough. But look at us now. Who can say you're solved? No way.

[15:24] Now you're the champion, right? You look down to not only we can study, but we're the champion. So keep that up. All right. Thank you.

[15:38] Also, I mean, but enough for you, man.

[15:41] Walman High School, you made history and no one will ever take that away for me.

[15:46] So congratulations on this truly historical moment.

[15:51] For Walman High School, for the city of Walman, you did us all proud.

[15:56] I will say as I get this holding this letter in my hand, my sons will be very jealous that I did not have to work for this letter.

[16:04] the way that you guys have had to work for it. It is a such a long commitment. And football,

[16:11] there is nothing more time committing more difficult hours of parents. It feels you that

[16:18] had to drop off at multiple times during the day. But you guys committing to two hours upon hours

[16:25] and year round of working so hard. It did pay off, you guys seriously. You can walk onto that campus

[16:32] when you're 30, 40, 50, 60 years old as CIF champs and you'll just be proud wearing your jackets.

[16:38] I am so thrilled that these boys were able to bring this to the city and celebrate for

[16:44] while that high school this accomplishment. So I can't just tell you just because I had some of

[16:52] these boys and they were in my classroom when they were in third grade and I should have known

[16:59] Then when I had a really, a rowdy bunch of boys,

[17:02] I'm like, they're gonna do something big,

[17:05] but I wasn't quite sure where it was gonna go,

[17:08] but I love seeing them that are grown up

[17:11] in so successful and in so many of them,

[17:14] just a great thing, so proud of all CIF announcements

[17:19] and just things that they're gonna go on

[17:21] and remember this forever.

[17:23] So the perseverance you guys showed

[17:24] and I'm so proud of this team

[17:26] and coaches, congratulations, Dr. Mainan.

[17:31] I know you did a lot to hire the coaches,

[17:33] so wait a go, wait a go.

[17:36] So yeah, take the credit, put the CIF champion on the wall

[17:40] and you're good, but coaches, congratulations.

[17:49] Thank you.

[17:50] Good evening, everyone.

[17:56] So we, the World of Community and the City Council,

[18:00] are very proud of you.

[18:06] So of course, good hosts to the Walnut High School

[18:09] administration, to the coach, Eric, the coaching staff.

[18:47] On behalf of our school board and our superintendent, Dr. Taylor,

[18:51] I cannot tell you how, how proud we are of what you've accomplished this year for us.

[18:57] Guys, you made history for our district.

[18:59] That takes a lot. It takes a lot from you, from your coaches, from the parents, from Dr.

[19:06] Maine, his administration. So thank you all for what you've done. We are extremely proud of you.

[19:12] Hope this is the beginning of moving forward on and more and more of this.

[19:17] But on behalf of the board, I just want to tell you that we are really, really proud of all of what you've done for us.

[19:23] This for our district and getting our name up there. Thank you so much.

[19:26] And thank you, City of Walnut, for taking the time to recognize our one that Mustang's

[19:46] Yeah.

[19:48] You know, you know, they always say, hey, it takes a village and you can kind of see that right

[19:55] here right now.

[19:57] You know, first and foremost, I want to all of this wouldn't be possible without the support of my family, my wife, my daughter.

[20:05] I know,

[20:09] you know, we put in a lot of hours, you know, throughout the week on the weekends and things like that.

[20:15] And she's been, you know, supportive through everything and I appreciate everything that she does, you know, and, you know, taking care of our family and things like that.

[20:23] Secondly, you know, thank you, Dr. Maine for all the support. Again, this isn't this isn't possible without a support of administration. So thank you very much.

[20:34] You know, from from the top-down administration has been incredible.

[20:38] Thank you, the city of Walnut for kind of recognizing our our accomplishments this year. Yes, you know, it's I still pinch myself a little bit in that, you know, we did, you know, make the little history this year and it was exciting and I'm like, how we just did.

[20:51] Okay, that's awesome, you know, thank you parents for, you know, dealing with my practice ends at six-ish.

[21:02] Thank you. I appreciate, you know, your patience and your help and your contributions to, you know, our program, you know, when we took over in 2017, you know, that was the idea.

[21:12] One that's, you know, for me, one that holds a special place in my heart because I walked around these streets, I, you know, I went to Suzanne, I, you know, walked around, you know, one high school campus and to do this here in this city, with this, with this group of guys is just been amazing, you know, it's been amazing and thank you guys for, you know, just just buying it, just buying into what the coaches were telling you,

[21:42] being coachable, you know, living up to, living up to the players' oath about being

[21:49] coachable, about being a building brotherhood, because that's what it's all about.

[21:54] You know, like somebody alluded to, you walk back on the campus, you're going to be a CIF

[21:58] champion, you know, on campus, off campus, you're going to meet each other, you know, what you're

[22:04] 20 year reunion, and you're going to be talking about good old times, and that's, you know,

[22:09] I think that's the best thing that we do is we give these kids an opportunity to make memories.

[22:15] And a great group, great group of guys, leaders.

[22:19] I can't take by coaching staff enough for the hours they put in.

[22:22] And like I said, just a great wonderful community.

[22:26] I'm truly blessed to be a part of it.

[22:28] You know, my roots are in the city.

[23:11] Just real quick, I want to go back to the actual CF championship game, the pride it brought to the community.

[23:19] I remember coming home late and trying to put together a graphic to put our social media and waking up the next morning.

[23:25] And my phone was just blowing up with all these Instagram notifications.

[23:28] And it was one of the high school classes 73 represent 85, 90 sticks.

[23:33] It's just with so much alumni support and the buzz around the community.

[23:38] I've gotten an Instagram notification.

[23:40] This is the most shared liked post that's ever been on your one-high school Instagram.

[23:44] I just showed how it spread throughout the community and how much pride it brought to our community and our school.

[23:50] So just I think everyone hit on it.

[23:52] This is something these kids remember for the rest of their lives.

[23:55] That ring is going to be there forever.

[23:56] I know we say it's about the camaraderie and all like that, but in life it's competition and you win and they did it the right way and they stuck with each other and when times got tough they never gave up and that's what's all about

[44:06] Is there any member of the podium?

[44:08] I mean, I hope you would like to make a comment.

[44:23] Hi.

[44:24] My name is Vijay Wakil.

[44:26] I live in Walnut for over 40 years.

[44:29] I have a few comments. On January 11 this year, we wrote a letter to the city hall, to the council, and to the planning commission, but the flooding issue, at Lampman and La Puntaro, we still need to get an answer on that.

[44:53] I mean, there's a major issue and if this flooding was just a small, a very...

[45:00] A very small, which can happen in the future, it could be really large. And a few don't stop this thing. This flooding, how do we stop it? You guys decide. But, you know, I mean, this is something we should consider for the safety or for everything we need to consider the issue and take it very seriously.

[45:27] flooding is not, I mean, this we sought this time was a very small one. Once parking lot became a lake, think of it.

[45:40] And we wrote to every single council person on that, we would like you to take a hard look at what our questions are and respond to them.

[45:50] We haven't seen any response from the city hall or from the council or from the mayor.

[45:57] We need some response. We have the citizens. We ask you questions and we'd like to see some of the some replies.

[46:04] Thank you.

[46:10] Mr. Harrison, a quick side.

[46:12] I first want to congratulate Melissa on her promotion.

[46:16] She and Kenny did a outstanding job with the flood in which VGA was talking about. It was terrible.

[46:21] I went over there, did Mr. the flood, I saw it, I took pictures of it, I came back days later,

[46:28] went around again, were heavy and they pretty much had a control. But as he said, we need to be

[46:33] more, so say, conscious of our environment for the most part. One is reaching pretty much across

[46:40] worlds now. I look at our re-Ox Billgate. They both had their own security systems now.

[46:47] they have cars driving back and forth, etc. That tells me that either the city is unwilling

[46:54] off financially unable to protect citizens property and that's a bit of disturbing.

[47:04] Either you're not put to money out or just don't particularly care for the citizens or say,

[47:09] we have one officer that patrols our city but you say three but at no time do you have three

[47:17] officer through trolling the city of Walnut, we have approximately 9,000 residents, those numbers

[47:25] are shocking that only had three officers. Then we look at what's most important is the way

[47:32] the city is building out and council not making any attempt to stop it. For example,

[47:39] So, outside we're putting the 28 homes, one of the terrors, 300 homes,

[47:49] pretty excited, I'm

[47:51] sorry.

[47:52] We'll set it, send it and sorry, it's San Jose, 28 homes, behind the San Jose, I'm

[47:59] sorry, middle pass, 12 to 15, another one is the, yeah, that's all right, pretty excited,

[48:06] 70 homes. You put in a close to 500 new homes, 500 new homes, 1,000 new homes, 1,000 2,000 people, 3,000 people.

[48:15] The sheriff would tell you, the more people we get into walnut, the more chance of death,

[48:23] home break ends, cars being hijacked.

[48:27] It gets really bad, but at the same time, I think it's now time for all the residents, especially our Asian population, the stand-up, and be counted.

[48:38] I think they need to join us and say, enough is enough in terms of building outwall nut.

[48:44] They need to, such as others need to stand up to say, no to Brookside, no to 3,000,

[48:51] So I've got 300 homes at a walnut terrace, no to 70 homes and a creek side.

[48:58] If we don't put a handle on this, the whole city will be built out and it looks like the council

[49:04] is unwilling to tell the developers that walnut is not for sale. It sounds good in that we built homes,

[49:13] but what comes with building homes is a really conflict of

[49:20] the value system that we have in Walnut. So I'm hoping that council, but more sort of council,

[49:28] I'm hoping that our Asian population will join us in terms of stopping the building here,

[49:35] because they are going to be the victims. We have about a 70% Asian population. So when people

[49:42] homes are being broken into, when you're being assaulted on the streets, cars being jacked,

[49:49] It's going to, you have to say the percent of our Asian brothers and sisters being a

[49:54] salted for the most part. So I'm hoping that they will speak up and stop the building of

[50:00] genocide, put a limit on what developers can do in our community because the walnut has lost their

[50:07] identity period. It's shameful that you cannot, and the inner circumstances take a family to

[50:15] practice here in Walnut. It all becomes just simply rooftops. Now, I can say it. I was there

[50:23] when the flooding took place at Vans, and I was shot to see so much water just running down the

[50:28] creek through the Vans parking lot. I jumped out took pictures, and this is what we're getting

[50:34] from the most part. As VG said, council needs to be more answerable to a citizen. Dr. I'm finishing

[50:44] I'm finishing up my point here. I waited 40 minutes. You get football T40 minutes. I get four minutes.

[50:53] Please, that's not fair.

[50:54] They are 50, 50 students.

[50:57] They are.

[50:57] Tax-banes, that's not fair. I should have a right to speak. You're not.

[51:02] You're here. Hello, and I'm saying that it's time for the walnut resets to come together and

[51:07] put a stop to this crazy building. It's also time for walnut resets to hold our city council.

[51:13] accountable. That's all, okay? Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Thank you.

[51:20] Do you have any person of Yezum? Any person, any, um, comment or anything? There are no requests

[51:26] to be as you. Okay. Motion to close oral communications. Thank you. I'd like to make a comment. I believe

[51:34] our population is actually decreased in the 20 20 senses from the 22, for the last census count from

[51:42] fire. So we actually have declining and the best as far as our population. We also have mandates

[51:51] by the state, as far as our housing requirements and handling. We have to zone for certain

[51:56] houses. And if we don't do that, then the state will come in and zone for us and take over.

[52:03] Also, obviously I'm just privately owned. It's not the city's land, the city's not selling it.

[52:08] And I do believe there was a proposal in the book side to help with that drainage situation there.

[52:15] That was on the book side pose and hopefully it's in the new one coming.

[52:20] And when that's home is going on, that's part of the problem.

[52:22] There's supposed to go in and fix that drainage issue that's we've had for just 40 years.

[52:27] I mean, it's been a long time we've had that problem.

[52:29] So that's probably what we're asking that a developer to do or require a developer to do is to fix that problem.

[52:34] So, I just wanted to set the record clear. Thank you.

[52:39] I appreciate that. And you're right.

[52:42] Helps the person trigger it.

[52:44] But I haven't heard of any C to be taken over by the government because of the building.

[52:49] Not building houses.

[52:50] Just to get our cities funded by the state and federal government.

[52:54] So, we'll see you take it over.

[52:56] They take money from us. They get it right back.

[52:58] And in regards to our population going down,

[53:01] I really feel that if one person's goal is robbed, it's too many. If one person in the streets

[53:07] assault it is too many. So I agree with you and you make a lot of sense of what you're saying here,

[53:14] but I don't buy into the state mandating that and taking over property and coming in and force us to

[53:20] do something. I did not say this and I wanted to debate you, but I didn't say the state's taking over

[53:25] the property as if we don't meet our housing elements and our requirements, the state will do the

[53:29] for us. Thank you. We need to stop this one. This is not the agenda item. Mayor, yes, we motion and then move on. Okay. Thank you. Let's move on to the.

[53:41] Can I make a comment? I mean, we are across the world coming. No, I don't want to respond to what Nancy is talking about about mandated housing.

[53:51] use me mayor and I can decide him is not on the agenda. We receive public comments. We're

[53:59] not to engage in a debate. Yes. We need to move on with the next item.

[54:10] No, the oral communication is very close. Sorry for that. Yeah.

[54:26] Okay,

[54:34] let's move on to the item number one, the meeting minute, do I have a motion motion

[54:41] approve.

[54:42] Motion and second any comment, any discussion regarding item number one?

[54:48] Now, city curve, please take the roll.

[54:51] Thank you.

[54:53] That's what we need to pull here on the screen.

[54:57] Sorry for that. Thank you.

[55:05] Motion carries for yes and one extension by council member.

[55:11] Thank you.

[55:13] I just moved on to the item number two.

[55:15] We do have the public healing.

[55:19] Item number two.

[55:23] Let me open the item.

[55:25] the public hearing now is the 75 PM and city manager who will presenting this item.

[55:34] Good evening Mayor. Thank you. Joel Gera, planning and coding for some

[55:37] manager will present the CDBG item. Thank you. Please go ahead. Thank you. Thank you.

[55:41] Good evening Mayor and city council members. Before you is the 49th CDBG program

[55:46] your budget for the upcoming 2023-2024 fiscal year. In addition to the estimated allocation of

[55:54] approximately $1,028,725.

[55:59] There is $56,356 on allocated funds available for an estimated total funding of $185,081.

[56:10] The proposed allocation for the housing rehab program and the senior activities program are outlined within the staff report for Council's reference.

[56:18] Therefore staff recommends that the City Council approved Resolution 23-03 adopting the 49 CDVG program here as outlined within the staff report and staff is available for any questions.

[56:33] Okay, could you explain that a little bit of the senior activities.

[56:38] Sure, senior activities actually includes three projects that will include senior excursions as well as the grow program for widows.

[56:49] It also includes the bags for you program, which was developed during the pandemic.

[56:54] It has slowed down a little bit, as of course, we're able to go to grocery stores now, but a couple seniors do still rely on the program and so during holidays and special events is one they'll do deliveries.

[57:08] Quick question with the $25,000, $4,000 be sufficient for senior activities.

[57:14] Absolutely. Okay, very well. Thank you.

[57:17] And I will quickly comment if there is a change that needs to occur during the year.

[57:22] Stock can certainly reevaluate if needed.

[57:25] Thank you.

[57:27] Really are they coming from the council?

[57:29] Um, may I put in?

[57:31] No.

[57:32] No.

[57:33] Consumable Linda, haven't you?

[57:36] No.

[57:37] Okay.

[57:38] Consumable Kahulie?

[57:40] No.

[57:41] Any more?

[57:42] Consumable Chin?

[57:43] No.

[57:44] Okay.

[57:45] Do we have any email or any comment?

[57:48] I'll receive regarding this item.

[57:51] Any person via Zoom?

[57:53] No request via Zoom.

[57:55] Okay.

[57:56] So, if no, no, and then I will then close the public healing, and let's move on to any motion to adopt the resolution number.

[58:09] Move to adopt resolution number 23-03 approving the 2023-24-49th year CDBG program as follows,

[58:19] housing rehabilitation funds 159,3336 senior activities 25,745 and authorized the city manager

[58:27] it doesn't need to prepare execute and submit the planning summary agreements and all required

[58:33] documents for the 2023-24-49th year CDBG program.

[58:38] second. Okay, we're motion and second any further discussion. If now,

[58:44] Secure, please did the roll call roll roll. Oh, right here on the screen. All right. Thank you.

[58:56] Thank you motion carrying five zero.

[58:58] Thank you. Now let's move on to the council council commander. We do have a number three, four and five.

[59:07] Moving on, I'd like to motion to approve.

[59:10] Item three, four, five.

[59:12] Well, motion is second, I don't know,

[59:14] three, four, five.

[59:15] Any further discussion, comment.

[59:19] Now, uh, Citi curve, please.

[59:21] Oh, let's take a vote on the screen.

[59:32] Can some of those.

[59:33] I'm sorry.

[59:34] May I vote?

[59:35] Can I need to?

[59:36] Okay.

[59:39] Dr.

[59:40] Here.

[59:41] You got a lot, can I?

[59:43] Do I need to?

[59:43] Okay.

[59:48] Motion carries five zero.

[59:51] Thank you.

[59:53] Now, let's move on to the council discussion and transition item that's now scheduled tonight.

[1:00:00] There, if you ever have a chance to go see has all the little fire trectors, fire trucks excuse me, losing a one from station 51 back in the days in emergency emergency with a truck 51 and we got to a lot of our fire fighters were there as well as the acting chief, so it was a good opportunity to converse with our fire leaders as well as other council members.

[1:00:30] Thank you.

[1:00:31] Thank you.

[1:00:31] I have to remind everybody our Chinese New Year's celebration, I'm sure you're probably going

[1:00:35] to do that, but please come and join us this Saturday from 2 to 5 here at the city for

[1:00:40] a wonderful Chinese New Year's.

[1:00:42] Thank you.

[1:00:42] Councilmember Linda Femann.

[1:00:44] Yeah.

[1:00:46] I want to just say it was so great to have such a lively and joyful moment in our council chamber

[1:00:54] tonight with celebrating while the high school football. And it just does remind me to celebrate

[1:01:02] truly the joy that's in the world. I know we are all experiencing a lot of a lot of hearty,

[1:01:08] a lot of sadness because of what's happening recently and very close to our home. But as we look

[1:01:17] Unfortunately, I would hate to see the point in our history

[1:01:23] where these things become normalized.

[1:01:25] And I am hoping, as we move forward as a society

[1:01:29] and in our community, we continue to look out for each other.

[1:01:34] We continue to support each other, talk with one another.

[1:01:41] And just let somebody know that you are there for them.

[1:01:44] As we look at this, I just, again, when acknowledge that a lot of status has happened before,

[1:01:51] we were only here two weeks ago. Another deputy was killed in the line of duties. It's

[1:01:56] that time in Riverside County. I want to acknowledge the fact that we have people putting their

[1:02:01] life on the line every day. We are so appreciative of our sheriffs, our firefighters,

[1:02:11] everyone that's doing that and we are going to acknowledge this, but it is also a time to remember

[1:02:18] we need to celebrate certain things. So Chinese New Year, very happy we were able to go to an event

[1:02:23] on Saturday at Walnut High School to start off the lunar new year with Council Member Tray Gars and

[1:02:31] Council Member Wu with Dr. Wu. It was just so fun to see the Chinese, it's the Confucius Chinese

[1:02:39] I hope CCLS, I have that acronym, right?

[1:02:42] Celebrate with all their grade levels.

[1:02:44] Well, the high school, it was really fantastic.

[1:02:46] It was just a celebration.

[1:02:48] And as it should be, it should be a celebration.

[1:02:51] This is what the event is meant to.

[1:02:52] And I'm looking forward to our celebration on Saturday.

[1:02:55] I know a lot of people are looking forward

[1:02:57] to coming out and celebrating it.

[1:02:58] So I'm looking forward to that.

[1:03:00] But I just wanted to say tonight was joyful.

[1:03:04] I'm very excited that our council has just approved funding

[1:03:07] for the creating a permanent pickleball court.

[1:03:12] Reestablish our current tennis courts and it's just making it a better place for the city.

[1:03:17] A lot of residents come out and enjoy.

[1:03:19] I think that's a great thing to celebrate.

[1:03:21] And I look at it as the fact that anything we can do to celebrate within our community.

[1:03:27] I think we should take the opportunity to do that.

[1:03:29] So I am looking forward to Saturday.

[1:03:31] And then also I just wanted to announce I was very honored to be appointed to the Commission

[1:03:37] on local governmental services in L.A. County by through the League of California cities

[1:03:43] to buy their president mayor Andrew Chao. So I'll be serving on that commission and that

[1:03:49] commission basically is always looking to provide better and more responsible cost effective

[1:03:56] services and delivery of services in cities throughout L.A. County. So I am looking forward to that.

[1:04:02] I have not gone to my first meeting yet, but it will be in February. So I will report back on that.

[1:04:06] But that's where I am. And I also, I want to recognize the reorganization of seating here. So yeah, congratulations to Melissa, who's sitting down there. I know last meeting was your first meeting. And I should have said something. I didn't, but it is great to see Melissa down there. But now next to Jamie. So we've got a new faces and also Captain Towsy now has a special seat in the house. So it's very good to see this group situated. So anyway, we look forward to seeing everybody on Saturday.

[1:04:36] Thank you, next councilmember chain.

[1:04:41] Yes, what I'd like to say to us is it privilege to be sitting here to serve people,

[1:04:46] I'll serve our community, and that privilege is given to us by God and then by, you know,

[1:04:52] resident who trust in us.

[1:04:53] And with that said earlier, the resident brought out safe issues.

[1:04:58] I believe that we did allocate more additional resourceful app to fund our law enforcement.

[1:05:04] And also, more than a week ago, we could maybe a couple of weeks ago, we had a fundraiser

[1:05:09] for our injured cadet.

[1:05:12] And in that, I just wanted to say it was so hard for me to see two cities phone, not only

[1:05:17] phone us, but that number came out to participate in that event and our staff as well.

[1:05:23] I think Chris Vaskas also cooked and I think most, it's not all the staff here, they

[1:05:30] all participated.

[1:05:31] So I think that's the sign to show that we all come together for our safety and then not only we will say it, but we will do it via our action.

[1:05:41] But if you truly wanted to serve, you truly wanted to give.

[1:05:44] Please, you know, our share of need more funds, just open your wallet and then you can participate via citizen number 2.
