We did discuss the items on the agenda.

25
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,560

Thank you.

28
00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:28,610
We are now at introduction and presentations.

29
00:05:29,610 --> 00:05:36,810
Tonight our first presentation is the introduction of two new staff members, and for that I will turn it over to our city manager, Mr. Pulum.

30
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:41,240
Thank you Madam Mayor and members of the City Council.

31
00:05:41,820 --> 00:05:47,040

32
00:05:47,460 --> 00:05:50,880

33

44
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,740
Gabriel lives close by, I won't say where.

45
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,520
But enjoy his golf, travel, music festivals,

46
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:33,780

00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:37,060
We welcome Gabriel to the city team.

48
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:37,840
Thanks, Gabriel.

49
00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:42,370
Thank you.

50
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:43,230
You're good.

Thank you.

54
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:54,070
Alicia is our new maintenance contract administrator

55
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:55,650
for the Public Works Department.

56
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:59,770
Be working for Jesse, distinguished guy over there.

57
00:07:00,590 --> 00:07:04,150
Among her duties, Alicia will be actively involved in the L-Mad,

58
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:09,470
which deals with, as you know, our landscape and lighting assessment districts in the city.

59
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:11,630
Prior to coming to your Belinda,

60
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:14,430
Alicia worked primarily in the private sector,

61
00:07:14,490 --> 00:07:20,250
where she was trusted to manage the landscapes of many prestigious properties throughout Southern California.

62
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:25,210
Her specialty has been high in HOAs, luxury coastal resorts, and

63
00:07:25,210 --> 00:07:27,290
class A commercial campuses.

64
00:07:28,090 --> 00:07:33,950
Alicia is a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona, and is a self-proclaimed plant nerd.

65
00:07:34,930 --> 00:07:38,730
She looks forward to working with the LMAD team to focus on water conservation,

66
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:41,570
beautifying the community for the residents of your Belinda.

67
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:45,490
Alicia lives in South Orange County with her husband, young daughter, and

68
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:49,310

00:07:49,310 --> 00:07:50,210
Welcome,

70
00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:58,870
and we will give you a box of tissues to deal with El Matt.

71
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:01,670
Don't scare away.

72
00:08:04,090 --> 00:08:05,870
It's all good, right?

73
00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:08,950
It's for the allergies.

74
00:08:10,530 --> 00:08:16,130
Our next presentation is disaster preparedness update by our emergency management coordinator,

75
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:16,810
Chris Pena.

76
00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:22,500
Thank you.

77
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,360
You can start the clock, Mark.

78
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:28,440
I promise Mark I'd be brief, but I like to speak about this topic especially because I

79
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,620
I'm passionate about it.

80
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:33,740
My background's a good at my school and in this topic.

81
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:36,500
So as far as an update, thank you for the opportunity,

82
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,460
Madam Mayor, ladies and gentlemen of the council.

83
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:41,200
And thanks, Mark, for inviting me to give the presentation.

84
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,900
My job is to coordinate here for emergency services,

85
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:48,100
emergency management planning, recovery mitigation.

86
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,820
And we leave the responses we know to the Sheriff's Department

87
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:53,440
and the capable fire department.

88
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,420
I want to thank both agencies for their partnership.

89
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,780
And last was it been three or four or five months now,

90
00:08:57,780 --> 00:09:02,200
Since I've been here, five or six months actually, and their partnerships have been very much appreciated.

91
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,260
Part of my job is to build upon the previous relationships that were established here by my prior position.

92
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,840
And it deals with everybody in the field, including the stakeholders we have that play a big part.

93
00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:20,460
The county, the fire department, the sheriff,

94
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,040
go back one here, and other areas.

95
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,700
I met with the Nixon Library folks, the water treatment folks up here, the water district folks.

96
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,360
And we talk about this thing, these topics all the time.

97
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,640
Just recently, with the EPL sent to you're able to school district as well.

98
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:43,140
Talk about their emergency plans, communication plans, wildfire preparedness, as we're getting into wildfire season.

99
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:50,940
Training and staff now that I've been seated for several months now is on the agenda for this winter.

100
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:54,720
to get our response folks up to speed and then what we have as a plan.

101
00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:01,660
We've talked about a little bit about hazard mitigation and recovery as well as well as

102
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:03,420
our emergency operation plans.

103
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:11,160
Some interesting stuff I've got going in terms of goals, communications, situational status

104
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,540
updates, and some emergency operation updates as well.

105
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:21,630
This is a slide on the county partnerships that we enjoy and mentioned the county fire department

106
00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:26,090
of the County Sheriff's Department, thanks to Cory and his folks for his partnership and helping us out.

107
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:31,970
He invited me to a tabletop exercise a few months ago and we spoke through a few of these plans that we have in common.

108
00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:39,710
County Emergency Management-wise, alert OC, our communications, mass notification system that we utilize.

109
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:46,990
We're just on the phone this morning with our IT manager, Larry, seeking new technologies for

110
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:51,050
for mass notifications we can use here in the city of Urbola and a typical more streamlined

111
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:52,790
and efficient, which was very interesting.

112
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:54,770
We might pursue that path.

113
00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:59,310
A couple of the listings there talk about the WebEOC in terms of integration with the

114
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:00,890
counties of Rinsing Operations Center.

115
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:06,810
Very important step, which just as you folks know, just onboarded a new GIS specialist for

116
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:07,210
the city.

117
00:11:07,630 --> 00:11:14,370
I'm going to wrangle some time, his time, for my efforts, if they'll allow me, because technology

118
00:11:14,370 --> 00:11:18,930
is the path forward in terms of being ever situational aware.

119
00:11:19,830 --> 00:11:23,150
And as you folks know, as the customers of that awareness, or that information,

120
00:11:23,790 --> 00:11:26,370
we know that you want it and expect it very promptly.

121
00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:32,490
So we're hoping to make sure technology helps us with that by onboarding some GIS capability into emergency management.

122
00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:39,050
Thank you again to the Council for signing the Mass Notification document from the county last month.

123
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:45,920
The city of Urbana participated in the California's great shakeout exercise in October 21st.

124
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:53,300
And it was a great exercise in terms of we all survived, and we know now a little better than we did before.

125
00:11:53,980 --> 00:12:00,140
What our expectations are as employees and staff to keep ourselves safe, both here in a work area at home.

126
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:02,260
And that's drop cover and hold on.

127
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:04,700
I think we all most of us participated in doing that.

128
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,140
And then assembled orderly in an early fashion to our temporary assembly areas outside of

129
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:15,240
our buildings, our facilities, and each facilities then the directors took care of their staff

130
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,320
and then notified the city hall back over the radio with the status of their staff and

131
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,220
if they had any needs that we could then pass on in the event of a real emergency.

132
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:32,990
Tomorrow night in fact is the last night for our skills workshop for the cert hybrid course

133
00:12:32,990 --> 00:12:40,510
that we hosted as the city, the last couple of months we've had between 18 and 20 residents

134
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:42,130
participants participate in our exercise.

135
00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:46,110
I partnered this year with the City of Tuston who needed a partner in the location,

136
00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:49,690
volunteered at our Thomas sort of field house for the exercise.

137
00:12:50,630 --> 00:12:54,410
And tomorrow night will be the last evening and we'll have graduated up to like I said,

138
00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:58,870
20 students in the community emergency response team training.

139
00:12:59,150 --> 00:13:04,730
It's a FEMA nationwide citizen's emergency response program and disaster preparedness.

140
00:13:05,370 --> 00:13:07,770
So very proud of that and we'll start a new one in the spring.

141
00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:09,890
A couple of pictures from that event.

142
00:13:10,270 --> 00:13:13,870
Thanks again to a couple of things special to OCFA,

143
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:19,910
station 10, their reserve truck and their on duty engine showed up to help us out, put out some fires literally.

144
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:25,530
Saves of victims into our contract ambulance service, emergency ambulance for

145
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:35,650
participating, sent a couple of young EMTs to bandage and dress wounds and give a really good PowerPoint presentation on disaster medical response.

146
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:41,170
Thanks to those agencies, really good progress in this area.

147
00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:48,190
The city of Urbana has a very vocal and a very engaged equestrian community called

148
00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:50,450
the Urbana Country Riders.

149
00:13:51,010 --> 00:13:57,810
Very pleased to have that be put on my agenda to help them with their horse evacuation planning.

150
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:02,850
And as an equestrian myself and a horse owner myself, it's near and dear to my part or

151
00:14:02,850 --> 00:14:06,370
heart to know that we have a good plan in place in case the wildfires come

152
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:10,210
hit the city of your Belinda we have plans for our our what I consider

153
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:13,910
underserved population which are the horses so I had an opportunity to reach

154
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:18,090
out to TD Friedrich and said hey set of meaningful coffees go for trail ride

155
00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:23,070
and so I've traded my horse up took a trail ride around the city who are in a

156
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:28,490
girlfriend and we talked a lot about these plans I've been working since then with

157
00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:32,290
the county both animal care and emergency management at the county level to

158
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:37,150
We really shake that tree and see some progress in the county-wide plans for evolving

159
00:14:37,150 --> 00:14:44,530
light volunteer folks to get in and get a horses out because that's apparently

160
00:14:44,530 --> 00:14:49,490
is their only avenue to lean on the teams like that.

161
00:14:49,630 --> 00:14:52,710
The San Juan Capustrana was leading that charge with their model, their art models,

162
00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:57,630
so in partnership with them, some other cities moving this topic forward.

163
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Took a look at the radio system communications, making sure that we could not only talk to ourselves internally, but talk to some county partners in terms of emergency operations, Senator, emergency operation and communications, updating the inventory, make sure the right people have the radios that know how to use them. Took a look at the help with the fire department and along with the Sheriff's Department of Emergency Management, really putting out some good maps, some new maps, updated in terms of evacuation zones in the city of Urbana.

164
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,180
And as you know, when the resources are requested, they have to know where to go.

165
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:36,440
And we need to be speaking the same language in terms of evacuation zones.

166
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:43,080
So we can plan accordingly in terms of alert, morning, any evacuation to those particular zones.

167
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,500
Created some books, printed some new maps for our emergency operations center to refer to.

168
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:55,580
And again, this is mostly now GIS, so having a new GIS person on board is going to be really helpful to make sure the state's current.

169
00:15:55,580 --> 00:16:00,120
And then we have the latest information from the incident to plot in our maps to make

170
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,540
sure you folks have that information promptly.

171
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,220
We've been gathering supplies, a couple different, in fact, I just got some more of these

172
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:13,700
supplies, emergency supplies for the city staff and employees in terms of disaster preparedness

173
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:20,400
and, unfortunately, now for COVID, but we have these supplies on hand now, and we're pretty

174
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,400
flesh, so I'm glad to say because of our partnerships and outreach of being able to collect those

175
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,060
and thanks for public works for storing those for us.

176
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Couple of new buildings, new facilities in the city, the library, in the Cultural Arts Center.

177
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:35,900
Updated and took a look at their emergency evacuation plan.

178
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,740
Mark Alders and I walked the, both buildings facilities, met with the staff there.

179
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:44,680
And came up with some emergency evacuation plans, temporary evacuation assembly points.

180
00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:50,940
And they also participated in a great job in the great checkout drill by evacuating meeting all and

181
00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:52,300
and notifying us of their status.

182
00:16:54,610 --> 00:16:57,850
First aid kits, we took a survey of make sure all city facilities are updated,

183
00:16:58,090 --> 00:17:01,730
make sure they have this equipment, and the supply bed equipment if they didn't.

184
00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:06,710
And now a recidifacility has these products, the first aid kits in their buildings.

185
00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:14,970
Last slide talks about basically one example of many partnerships that we have to make sure we're notified early.

186
00:17:15,550 --> 00:17:19,450
So we can notify you early and our other customers, the citizens of your Belinda.

187
00:17:19,450 --> 00:17:26,810
And in the case of emergency, public safety emergency shut off event, wildfire event, that type of thing.

188
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:35,830
So our ideal goal would be to get that information early and get it to you and the residents of Orange of your Belinda to help with evacuation efforts.

189
00:17:37,410 --> 00:17:41,890
So technologies, the key we've been harnessing it now and growing the program in that direction.

190
00:17:43,650 --> 00:17:47,650
And towards that end, looking forward to 2022, we look forward to more staff training

191
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:49,870
and tabletop exercise with our new partners.

192
00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:54,710
So that would be up for my exercise, so thank you very much for your time.

193
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:57,830
Thank you very much.

194
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:59,230
Any questions from council?

195
00:18:01,690 --> 00:18:02,330
Thank you.

196
00:18:02,890 --> 00:18:03,670
Thank you.

197
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:11,610
Now, is the time for public comments?

198
00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:13,130
Any member of the public?

199
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:14,650
Sorry for that.

200
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:15,730
One more person.

201
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:27,350
And finally, we have our law enforcement services left to fight chief of police, Captain Cori, Quantina.

202
00:18:28,790 --> 00:18:30,730
Thank you, Madam Mayor and members of the council.

203
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:31,370
Good evening.

204
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:35,350
Tonight, we're going to view some data from September and October 2021.

205
00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:36,590
Next slide, please.

206
00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:40,370
I'd like to start by presenting the traffic data.

207
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:44,650
The numbers were similar in traffic collisions from the previous months.

208
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:48,770
Please continue to slow down and obey all traffic laws.

209
00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:49,690
Next slide, please.

210
00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:53,390
Here's a look at the Part A crimes.

211
00:18:54,170 --> 00:18:56,110
You will notice an uptick in vandalism.

212
00:18:56,530 --> 00:18:59,010
Please continue to report suspicious activity.

213
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:03,270
We will also be presenting fraud and economic crime related data

214
00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:04,270
in our presentations.

215
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:07,570
You will notice there were 27 fraud related incidents

216
00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:09,350
in September and October.

217
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:10,490
Next slide, please.

218
00:19:11,710 --> 00:19:16,170
Here are some crime prevention tips related to fraud and identity theft.

219
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:23,170
Some include using a locking mailbox, reviewing your credit report, keeping your purse or

220
00:19:23,170 --> 00:19:28,610
wallet with you and not leaving it unattended, and using a secure internet connection to make

221
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:29,670
online purchases.

222
00:19:30,490 --> 00:19:33,750
Please go to our website for a complete list of safety tips.

223
00:19:34,330 --> 00:19:34,970
Next slide please.

224
00:19:36,490 --> 00:19:41,910
Continuing with safety tips, as we approach the holidays, please be mindful of package

225
00:19:41,910 --> 00:19:43,070
thefts.

226
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:48,990
Look into adding detailed delivery instructions to your order, sign up for text alerts on

227
00:19:48,990 --> 00:19:53,790
the delivery status, and ensure someone is home at the estimated time of delivery.

228
00:19:54,450 --> 00:19:58,530
Stay alert and always report suspicious activity to our dispatch center.

229
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:59,530
Next slide please.

230
00:20:00,990 --> 00:20:05,830
going back to a look at the residential burglaries. Here's a look at the incidents

231
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:15,950
from November 2019 to October 2021. Next slide, please. Here's a look at the

232
00:20:15,950 --> 00:20:21,070
arrest data for the past four months. I'm going to take some time to highlight a

233
00:20:21,070 --> 00:20:24,870
couple of those arrests in the upcoming slides. Next slide, please.

234
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:28,620
This initial

235
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:33,840
Also incident occurred in September where a victim reported being assaulted by multiple

236
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,560
subjects.

237
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,360
Our deputies responded and took the initial report and immediately contacted our special

238
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:41,680
investigations at Bureau.

239
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,820
The SIB team took over the case.

240
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,340
They were able to locate the subjects a few days later and ultimately affected arrest on two

241
00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:51,900
subjects.

242
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,500
Great collaborative teamwork by all the staff involved.

243
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:56,500
In

244
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:05,580
October, a deputy in a South County city conducted a vehicle stop on a male subject who was in possession of a firearm.

245
00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:11,220
The deputy contacted the Special Investigations Bureau, and they again took over the case.

246
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,060
The investigators were able to obtain and execute a search warrant here in the city of Yorba Linda,

247
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:21,660
where multiple illegal firearms and ammunition were safely seized.

248
00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:28,780
Again, great collaborative effort by some of the county-wide resources the Sheriff's Department has to offer.

249
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:29,940
Next slide, please.

250
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Switching gears to Community Outreach, we recently partnered with the City staff, the Traffic Commission, and the California Highway Patrol in the Car Seat Safety Event.

251
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,720
Thank you to the explorers who assisted and volunteered their time in this event.

252
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:59,590
The next community outreach event is coffee with the cop and is scheduled for this Thursday, November 18th, at 0800 hours.

253
00:22:00,270 --> 00:22:09,510
It is open to everyone and there is no agenda or formal speeches, just an opportunity to have some coffee and get to know some of the staff members assigned to the city.

254
00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:17,310
It will be held at the East Lake Community Clubhouse located at 5325 Village Center Drive.

255
00:22:17,310 --> 00:22:21,270
Please come by and join us in this community outreach event.

256
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:22,650
Next slide, please.

257
00:22:24,210 --> 00:22:26,050
And that concludes tonight's presentation.

258
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:28,130
Have a safe and happy holidays.

259
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:29,750
Thank you.

260
00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:31,610
Council, any questions?

261
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:38,820
Thank you.

262
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,820
Now it's actually final time for the public comments.

263
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,020
I know there's someone out there eagerly to speak to council, right?

264
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:49,880
So any member of the public may address the council on items on the

265
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,860
consent calendar or matters of interest to the public, which are under the Council's jurisdiction.

266
00:22:55,380 --> 00:23:00,720
You have five minutes for your presentation and the person I have is Mr. De Bruin.

267
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:01,520
Welcome back.

268
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,140
Mr. DeLiving.

269
00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:08,760
Thank you, Mayor.

270
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,360
Just a few general observations.

271
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,620
One is about AT&T.

272
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,880
Why does AT&T has no final optics for faster internet installed?

273
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:29,360
most, if not all, of the city of your Belinda. Of course, the spectrum cable company does offer

274
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:36,360
a fast internet at the price, of course, but some residents prefer to use AT&T and not the cable

275
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:43,840
company. I have contacted AT&T over the recent years various times and was frequently informed

276
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,540
that it has been planned, but not when.

277
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Thus, the city has any better information or influence

278
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,100
to get better knowledge on this subject.

279
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,040
The next one is about Karsko.

280
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,520
The Karsko Park in

281
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:11,780
lot, excuse me, entrance in exit from and to Crystal Drive, right of Sapia Ranch Parkway,

282
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:19,120
especially now with the very high gas prices. Long lines are formed to get into the Karsko

283
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:25,900
gas service pump area. And by so doing block one of the main exits and

284
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:30,960
entrances of Costco on two crystal drive and creating risky traffic

285
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:37,560
situations. How can we advise Costco to manage these long gas lines along

286
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,180
crystal drive to avoid potential accidents there?

287
00:24:43,970 --> 00:24:45,670
And not observation when

288
00:24:45,670 --> 00:24:47,550
has to do with the Yerbal and the Web.

289
00:24:51,330 --> 00:24:56,100
It is a reference to the download process of the Council agenda from the Yerbal and

290
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:04,020
the Web site, which has been revised recently to a two-part PDF format download, which appears

291
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:09,340
not simpler than the previous process, but there might be some technical reason maybe

292
00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:10,320
why this was done.

293
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:18,160
The first part is displayed as the agenda cover page, which is actually the entire agenda.

294
00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:22,200
The second selection is displayed as the agenda.

295
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:30,500
But actually it is again the entire agenda, plus potentially maybe 200 other pages of

296
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:34,300
payroll and other supplemental financial and project information.

297
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:43,380
So, if you select the second option marked Agenda, you might print 200 plus pages, which

298
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:44,880
you might not be interested in.

299
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,460
Never mind all the paper and cartridges.

300
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Can we clean this option up a bit and make it more user-friendly as before?

301
00:25:57,270 --> 00:26:04,570
And finally, last but not least, the Veterans Memorial Service on November 11 was yet another

302
00:26:04,570 --> 00:26:11,510
successful ceremony. The weather, not surprisingly, was, again, hot at 92 degrees.

303
00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:20,290
It had promised me to ask again when can some budget be made available to finally install a

304
00:26:20,290 --> 00:26:28,330
removable cover to welcome our vets and mainly guests in a more comfortable setting. Lord knows

305
00:26:33,930 --> 00:26:42,850
I do not have other speaker cards. I do not know if there are any members of the public that I wish to speak. I do not submit a speaker card.

306
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:53,430
Okay. Seeing none, we will now move on to consent calendar. I understand the councilman Hernandez would like to have seen from item number two.

307
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:57,030
Would any councilmember like to pull any items from the consent calendar?

308
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:02,520
None.

309
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,060
I will.

310
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Make a motion there to accept the consent calendar as presented with note of my abstention from

311
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:11,820
the two.

312
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:12,520
All right.

313
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,380
Motion by councilman Hernandez.

314
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:16,860
Seconded by councilwoman Haney.

315
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,540
Please vote.

316
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:28,470
Mayor Portemra Driggas.

317
00:27:28,570 --> 00:27:29,210
I don't see your vote.

318
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,280
Thank you.

319
00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:35,320
I'll close the votes and motion passes unanimously.

320
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,500
Thank you.

321
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,100
We're now at the City Manager's report, Mr. Polo.

322
00:27:47,130 --> 00:27:49,030
Thank you Madam Mayor and members of the City Council.

323
00:27:50,510 --> 00:27:57,310
Okay, I have a few responses to Mr. De Bruyne who had some questions during public comments.

324
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:04,050
We have had meetings not only with AT&T but with Verizon and

325
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:10,090
other providers in town about dead spots and improved internet.

326
00:28:10,090 --> 00:28:23,010
And they've indicated that obviously we're on their radar, and some of them haven't included some additional facilities throughout the years.

327
00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:34,730
AT&T I know has talked about several improvements, but to hear to four they haven't done anything real significant, but we'll continue to press that issue for residents.

328
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:47,970
As it relates to Costco, just for the general public's information, we all recognize that the main entrance into Savah Ranch is pretty busy at times.

329
00:28:48,590 --> 00:29:04,070
And especially going into the holidays, one of our major capital improvement projects is working closely with City of Anaheim and OCTA to hopefully gain funding to drastically improve the entry into.

330
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:09,350
to seven ranch and so Jamie and her staff are working closely with those agencies

331
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:16,750
to make that happen and we're actually well underway and moving into the design phase.

332
00:29:17,010 --> 00:29:18,590
So we're excited about that.

333
00:29:19,030 --> 00:29:25,110
In the meantime though, obviously there are times when traffic needs to be managed perhaps

334
00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:25,530
better.

335
00:29:26,350 --> 00:29:33,270
I'm a frequent customer of Costco gas and so I know that I've seen lately their staff being

336
00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:39,650
a little bit more proactive in trying to direct cars into the drive aisles, and hopefully they'll continue that.

337
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:51,230
But understanding that at times cars are going to back up on to Mirage and other streets, and hopefully long-term we'll have a better solution.

338
00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:59,870
And then I do appreciate your observation of perhaps the recent changes made in our online agenda.

339
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
We did change vendors. And we did so, hopefully, for the better. And so I think there are a number of advantages to the new system, especially as it relates to locating items and downloading items. But I do appreciate your comment about the park of the printing. And we'll take a look at that so that you don't accidentally hit print and 200 pages later have no paper in the printer. And lastly, we do note that better

340
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:33,060
and stay Memorial Day seem like they always land on the hottest day of the year.

341
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:39,420
And so we did note that and hopefully one of these days we'll have a better shade solution

342
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:40,280
for a veterans part.

343
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,360
And that's a live tonight, Madam Mayor.

344
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,720
Thank you.

345
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,460
We're now at Matters, presented by Council members or at other agency report, we'll start tonight

346
00:30:51,460 --> 00:30:52,760
with Councilwoman Camel.

347
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,020
Thank you, Mayor.

348
00:30:55,500 --> 00:31:00,020
I serve on the Santa Ana River, a flood protection agency for the city.

349
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:19,720
And hopefully fun update, obviously a main project for us in your Belinda is what's happening on the east end along the Santa Ana River and it's been in progress for years and some of the residents on the east end reach out to me because they saw some notable progress so they were hoping it would be done soon.

350
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:25,660
an update. So the south of La Palma Avenue within the vicinity of the gypsum canyon bridge

351
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:33,060
is scheduled to be completed by May 2022. So the ending completion is insight. So I

352
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:37,080
wanted to provide that to everybody since I let that write a couple of those residents

353
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,860
now. The trail may be open sooner depending on if the contractor thinks that it's safe

354
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:47,660
for the public to access. So anyway, May 2022 for that. And just wanted to wish everybody

355
00:31:47,660 --> 00:31:51,840
a happy Thanksgiving, and we don't have a meeting before Hanukkah starts, so happy Hanukkah.

356
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,260
Thank you, Councilwoman Hayne.

357
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:58,640
Thank you, Mayor.

358
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:06,680
So just short and sweet, but thank you for proclaiming last week National Nurse Practitioner Week,

359
00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:13,620
and in honor of that we have a California Association for Nurse Practitioner, Orange County,

360
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:39,080
Senator Gaila and Senator Newman came and spoke, Professor Allison Holman from UCI came and spoke in our own Fire Chief Barric Hunter came and spoke, and it was great, it actually turned out that he personally saved two nurse practitioners homes in the Blue Ridge Fire and also an in-law in the Calder Fire.

361
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:48,840
So it was really great until we had a room full of total admirers, so it was really fun, and that is it for me.

362
00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:50,340
Great, thank you.

363
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:52,900
Councilman Hernandez.

364
00:32:55,170 --> 00:32:56,510
Thank you Chief Hunter, you're so smooth.

365
00:32:59,130 --> 00:33:08,130
So I'm glad to see Mr. City Manager that AT&T gives you the same response that they give to their commercial residents or their residential customers.

366
00:33:08,130 --> 00:33:10,050
Yeah, we're going to get around to it.

367
00:33:10,850 --> 00:33:16,790
Also, we probably need to put a little more firming on the canopy for veterans that we're going to get around to it.

368
00:33:17,010 --> 00:33:23,070
We need to probably look at that a little more serious because it is, I wasn't sure this year but every year it's extremely hot there.

369
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:28,530
And I know it's not cheap. I know that's one of the things that the CM Andrews kind of think in Gene don't bring that up.

370
00:33:29,510 --> 00:33:36,950
It can be costly, but again, if it's removable kind of thing and we don't have to go real hardcore like we have at the park up there,

371
00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:45,510
But we could do something because it's just, it can't be really brutal, especially on older folks, so not including me, but I mean other really older folks.

372
00:33:48,050 --> 00:34:01,430
But, same thing very busy and glad to see that we take care of the nurse practitioners, they're Councilman Haney, I mean, it's all year long event, I think, and why don't we just make it an all year event?

373
00:34:01,430 --> 00:34:03,690
And so we just can, I'm sure you would.

374
00:34:05,050 --> 00:34:07,190
Now they do a wonderful job and we appreciate that.

375
00:34:08,130 --> 00:34:10,250
And it is fire season, so pay attention to that.

376
00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:14,990
Always, it's what this time we really need to make sure we're cutting the shrubs

377
00:34:14,990 --> 00:34:17,390
and making space around our homes.

378
00:34:18,150 --> 00:34:23,390
Speaking of the fire authority that they'll do their annual food drive parade,

379
00:34:23,690 --> 00:34:27,530
it's going to be on December 12th, that's a Sunday, 5 o'clock.

380
00:34:27,530 --> 00:34:34,590
I know Councilman Campbell and I attend on that, you're all welcome to come in right on the trucks.

381
00:34:34,590 --> 00:34:39,590
It's really, now they go through the west end of the city and somebody asks, well, why don't they go through the whole city?

382
00:34:40,130 --> 00:34:49,270
Well, the problem I found out is that many of those big rigs have difficulties going through some of the culsec streets and the more narrow streets.

383
00:34:49,590 --> 00:34:51,870
So they had tried that once and didn't work out real well.

384
00:34:51,870 --> 00:35:17,870
So those that aren't aware of it, this is where it's a food drive, residents in the west end come out on a designated routes and they'll be giving a heads up on this and they put out their cans and groceries out there and anywhere from, well, I think this last time we had like 18 but they're trying to get like 25 or 30 emergency fire engine vehicles, red light siren, pretty impressive to see going down the street as they scoop up all the canned goods.

385
00:35:17,870 --> 00:35:23,590
In fact, last year was a record year in supplies that they obtained, so it was very, very good.

386
00:35:25,550 --> 00:35:34,170
And we had a presentation to our Council and staff last week on O C T A gave a heads up on

387
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:40,770
a Zoom for District 3, which you're up in the falls under, what's going on?

388
00:35:40,990 --> 00:35:42,010
What a lot of the major products?

389
00:35:42,110 --> 00:35:46,490
Throughout the county, not necessarily just you're up in the, but the 405, the 91, there was good information.

390
00:35:46,490 --> 00:35:49,810
and a lot of things going on, a lot of development going on.

391
00:35:50,290 --> 00:35:53,650
I know people get a little tired of construction fatigue.

392
00:35:54,330 --> 00:35:56,130
You know, when is this thing ever going to get done?

393
00:35:56,610 --> 00:35:58,090
Well, there's different projects too, keep in mind.

394
00:35:58,210 --> 00:36:02,370
There's CalTrans, and there's OCTA, and CalTrans for whatever reason seems to take

395
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:05,890
a little bit longer than OCTA does, so I'll just put that plug in.

396
00:36:06,270 --> 00:36:07,430
And that's it from me, Madam Mayor.

397
00:36:07,570 --> 00:36:07,830
Thank you.

398
00:36:07,930 --> 00:36:08,550
Thank you.

399
00:36:08,990 --> 00:36:09,770
Mayor Patel Rodriguez?

400
00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:14,350
Thank you, Madam Mayor, and I'll keep it brief.

401
00:36:14,350 --> 00:36:20,170
I'm also a hot but memorable Veterans Day.

402
00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:23,290
I want to start by thinking Colonel Wayne Scott,

403
00:36:23,710 --> 00:36:27,230
and the Yorba Linda Veterans Memorial Board

404
00:36:27,230 --> 00:36:31,210
for continuing the Great Tradition and the Great Program,

405
00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:38,810
was really amazing attending and having a chance.

406
00:36:38,810 --> 00:36:49,530
My son joined me for the event and introducing him and having a chance to meet some World War II veterans was just amazing.

407
00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:55,750
And there's something that we were talking about later in the day and I know we'll stay with him as he's growing up.

408
00:36:55,750 --> 00:37:02,050
That's just remarkable to be able to honor them and all of our veterans that day.

409
00:37:03,310 --> 00:37:18,030
Always touching to see also the gold star roll call as well, and knowing about the families that continue to deal every day with that loss.

410
00:37:18,450 --> 00:37:26,990
And also the Rose presentation by the Oralinda Girl Scout Honor Guard, it's always so many other aspects to the program.

411
00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:43,750
So again, very memorable I would also echo the sentiments about anything we can do to look at the investment in some type of cover, removal of the cover would be something that I look forward to hearing about in the very near future.

412
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:44,870
Thank you.

413
00:37:46,450 --> 00:37:51,010
Actually, I'll be remiss if I didn't also say a great job by Mayor and her comments.

414
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:54,890
Find job, appreciate your remarks.

415
00:37:55,450 --> 00:37:55,710
Thank you.

416
00:37:55,710 --> 00:37:56,390
Thank you.

417
00:37:56,990 --> 00:38:02,630
And I was very glad to see that this year we were able to have a two-over-two veterans

418
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:03,610
with us.

419
00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:12,810
There's so few of them, so it's always a real honor to see more or two veterans join us.

420
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:20,390
Just sort of expanding on what Councilman Hernandez mentioned about the meeting we had with

421
00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:25,310
OCTA, all the cities in the Third Supervisorial District.

422
00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:31,130
I am with all of you about construction fatigue, but it does take time to get those designs

423
00:38:31,130 --> 00:38:34,930
through more importantly, the money that it takes to build it.

424
00:38:35,770 --> 00:38:38,790
So I just want to say thank you for your patience.

425
00:38:39,310 --> 00:38:45,590
There are more constructions coming along, but it's really for the purpose of making sure

426
00:38:45,590 --> 00:38:50,750
that we can move everyone from one end of the county to the other end safely.

427
00:38:51,470 --> 00:38:54,350
And I really appreciate your hard work on this Councilman Hernandez.

428
00:38:54,630 --> 00:38:58,690
He's been there trying to get us all the end to money.

429
00:38:59,410 --> 00:39:06,190
That our city really needs and in order to make sure that we have, you know, we're getting

430
00:39:06,190 --> 00:39:09,990
our roads repaired and transit and all that good stuff.

431
00:39:10,190 --> 00:39:15,470
So thank you as well to NJME and Public Works for making sure that our projects are

432
00:39:15,470 --> 00:39:21,850
We are submitted on time and pursuing those grounds, because that's how we can continue to provide the amenities.

433
00:39:22,190 --> 00:39:22,290
Yes.

434
00:39:22,770 --> 00:39:24,830
Yeah, Mayor, just one, real, are you two through tomorrow?

435
00:39:24,910 --> 00:39:25,390
No, no, no.

436
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:45,290
A shout out, I see some young scouts here, I assume they're here for their merit badge, I would have thanked, because you wouldn't normally just come to a council meeting, just to, because it's so cool, I mean, it's cool to do, but it is cool to be at a council meeting, but I assume that's what they're working on, so glad to have you here, and I see we have students in the back, and they're usually required to come here also to experience.

437
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:53,550
There's a civic process here at a council meeting, so thank you for joining us and I hope you're getting something out of this.

438
00:39:53,650 --> 00:40:00,070
Now, really what you need to do though, you need to go to another city's council meeting to make a comparison to see how that goes.

439
00:40:00,270 --> 00:40:03,570
And there's a couple of names I can give you afterwards where you have to go really go see their council meetings.

440
00:40:04,070 --> 00:40:07,430
You know how well you have it here, thank you.

441
00:40:08,350 --> 00:40:12,990
Thank you, I'm glad you did that because you know what, this was a really good council.

442
00:40:12,990 --> 00:40:20,770
I can't say that but other places so you should compare and contrast, but yes, Councilman Hernandez

443
00:40:20,770 --> 00:40:27,150
is correct and welcome to all of you. I had the pleasure of meeting with PACM A51

444
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:33,790
a couple weeks ago, I'll give a mature of the city hall and so I'm glad you guys are here,

445
00:40:34,050 --> 00:40:40,450
welcome and actually instead of a tour to actually see how we work as a city, so I'm thank you

446
00:40:40,450 --> 00:40:43,230
for being here and staying past your bedtime hours.

447
00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:46,530
And for our high school students in the back,

448
00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:51,270
Councilwoman Campbell runs a great civic academy here

449
00:40:51,270 --> 00:40:54,770
for high school students to learn more about what we do every day

450
00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:58,530
and as well as each of our commissions,

451
00:40:58,970 --> 00:41:01,730
what they do, our traffic commissioners here.

452
00:41:02,230 --> 00:41:04,790
So I really, I strongly encourage you

453
00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:08,370
to consider signing up for it next spring

454
00:41:08,370 --> 00:41:16,710
and join the academy and find out what each one of our departments functions are and how they impact your daily lives.

455
00:41:18,810 --> 00:41:27,390
Councilwoman Haini and Councilman Hernandez and I had a chance to attend the Leadership Conference for Association of California Cities of Orange County.

456
00:41:28,050 --> 00:41:36,210
It was really awesome to hear a lot of the speakers looking at the demographics was a little bit depressing to see that so many people

457
00:41:36,210 --> 00:41:44,030
left in the aging population, but we also met the survivor from the miracle on Hudson River.

458
00:41:44,270 --> 00:41:52,410
Now his name escaped me. Do you remember? His name literally. He was the last person on the plane

459
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:58,670
to get off. Perry? Is that the last name? Johnson. Oh, it was Johnson. Scott Johnson?

460
00:42:01,330 --> 00:42:02,150
I'll come back.

461
00:42:03,750 --> 00:42:10,630
But what's so amazing that he taught us was, you know, just, you know, in that moment

462
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:14,830
of panic, and most people are trying to figure out how to get off the point first,

463
00:42:15,330 --> 00:42:19,410
he was looking back to see who he needed to help get off.

464
00:42:20,030 --> 00:42:30,010
And I was so inspired by that, and to always remember to look out for your neighbors in times

465
00:42:30,570 --> 00:42:47,710
So it was really neat to sit through that presentation with them and to really, you know, and also as well as for all of us, as members of ACCOC to all the City Council members to be together and to really talk about different issues in our cities.

466
00:42:49,310 --> 00:42:56,730

hard time through COVID and they're still having a hard time but most

00:43:27,390 --> 00:43:33,190
importantly be patient with them we all know that there's a shortage on workers

474
00:43:33,190 --> 00:43:39,370

475
00:43:39,370 --> 00:43:45,530
All this low getting to you but please support our businesses and have lots of patients because

476
00:43:45,530 --> 00:43:50,030
the holidays are here and enjoy each other's company and happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

477
00:43:50,270 --> 00:43:52,690
Mayor, it was Dave Sanderson.

478
00:43:53,110 --> 00:43:53,850
Dave Sanderson.

479
00:43:54,290 --> 00:43:54,770
That was close.

480
00:43:55,570 --> 00:43:56,670
I will tell you.

481
00:43:56,670 --> 00:43:57,850
You guys are so close.

482
00:43:58,110 --> 00:44:01,010
He was the mayor pointed out what I didn't know.

483
00:44:01,130 --> 00:44:04,070
He was the last one, if you watch the movie, Miracle on the Hudson.

484
00:44:04,450 --> 00:44:06,450
He was the last one physically off the plane.

485
00:44:06,450 --> 00:44:13,170
He's the one that jumped into the water just it was 50 feet and what he was worried about the plane was shifting

486
00:44:13,170 --> 00:44:18,890
And he'd seen movies where when a ship goes down the vortex sucks you under and he didn't want to be part of that

487
00:44:18,890 --> 00:44:25,570
So he jumped in a water was 30 degrees 50 feet and a head he stayed in there a minute longer

488
00:44:25,570 --> 00:44:31,130
He would have died. He was only there was only two in that that whole flight that ended up not going home immediately

489
00:44:31,130 --> 00:44:39,770
He went to the hospital because of the, he had the hypothermia and it took a full week for him to get back to his normal body temperature.

490
00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:47,790
It was bad and when I didn't realize the jet fuel in the water damaged his eyes and he's got now permanent vision problems.

491
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:51,490
So there's so much more to that story. It's an amazing story. It's very, very impressive.

492
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:55,090
And the way he tells it and the lessons that he applies to his life from that.

493
00:44:55,350 --> 00:44:57,090
Awesome. Anyway, thank you very much.

494
00:44:57,090 --> 00:44:57,930
Yeah. Thank you.

495
00:44:58,930 --> 00:44:59,950
It was very...

496
00:45:01,220 --> 00:45:13,520
So, if you had, I think he wrote a book. Now, I can't remember the top. I want you to remember. But I would say, you know, Google

497
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:24,260
M and I know he has a YouTube video. He sure parts of it with us and as well as a book and TikTok. And so, Ted talk, Ted talk, and not

498
00:45:24,260 --> 00:45:26,640
It was a TED talk video.

499
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,180
One of those talks.

500
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:29,980
Either way.

501
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,660
I really hope that you will spend five minutes or so to watch it.

502
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:35,680
And you'll see why.

503
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:41,160
You know, the three of us felt very inspired by what this man has done.

504
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,400
And truly the humbleness of it as well.

505
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:46,640
As that.

506
00:45:48,020 --> 00:45:50,380
Moving on, we are now at administrative reports.

507
00:45:50,380 --> 00:46:06,680
March item number 10 is the introduction of ordinance number 2021-1087, amending chapter 8.20 of the Yorval and a municipal code pertaining to the regulation of solid waste, including organic waste. Mr. Paloan, you're going to talk about garbage tonight.

508
00:46:07,820 --> 00:46:08,460
Organics.

509
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:18,140
Organics.

510
00:46:18,140 --> 00:46:25,060
be 1383 and the impacts and the requirements that imposes on local agencies such as our city.

511
00:46:25,780 --> 00:46:32,700
And it all has to do with trying to prevent organic waste, food waste from going to the

512
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:35,800
landfills and diverting that to other places.

513
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:44,360
So tonight before you is first reading of an ordinance that will help the city comply with the requirements of 1383.

514
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,320
And to give us a quick overview, turn it over to our Public Works Director, Jamie Leigh.

515
00:47:01,060 --> 00:47:01,900
Can you hear me?

516
00:47:02,180 --> 00:47:02,640
Okay, much better.

517
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:15,940
Before you today is the first reading of ordinance 2021-1087, amending chapter 8.20 of the Eurobelinda Municipal Code to address state organics recycling mandates, including SB 1383.

518
00:47:16,460 --> 00:47:19,800
This mandate was signed into law September 19th, 2016.

519
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:32,460
The legislation requires that all businesses, residents and multifamily apartments have access to recycling programs that capture food scraps, landscaping waste and other organic waste materials that keep them out of landfills.

520
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:43,440
To meet the SB 1383 regulations, jurisdictions throughout the state are required to adopt an ordinance as an enforceable mechanism by January 1st, 2022.

521
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,540
This ordinance will mandate that organic waste generators,

522
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:53,420
haulers and other entities subject to the requirements SB 1383 must comply.

523
00:47:54,040 --> 00:48:01,680
And an overview of SB 1383 mandates cities to provide organic waste collection services to all residents and businesses.

524
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:09,460
Develop and adopt an enforceable mechanism or ordinance by January 1st, 2022, which is what we have before you today.

525
00:48:09,460 --> 00:48:13,860
We formally refer to this ordinance as an enforcement ordinance.

526
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,720
Establish an Edible Food Recovery Program.

527
00:48:17,340 --> 00:48:22,760
Update the city's procurement policy to purchase recycled content paper and recycled organic waste.

528
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:30,620
And provide outreach and education for generators, facilities, edible food recovery organizations and municipal departments.

529
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,320
Plan and secure access for recycling and edible food recovery capacity.

530
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:42,360
monitor compliance and conduct enforcement, maintain accurate compliance records.

531
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,040
So please note that a majority of these items are currently being negotiated with our

532
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,620
Holler Republic Services to assist in the compliance and to line with the requirements

533
00:48:51,620 --> 00:48:55,080
of SB 1383 and other related legislation.

534
00:48:55,780 --> 00:49:00,540
A new and receded agreement will be coming to council at a future later date implementing

535
00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:01,720
all of these requirements.

536
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:09,120
that completes my staff report on the phone also is Colleen Callahan, Project Manager, and we are happy to answer any questions.

537
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:09,820
Thank you.

538
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,520
Thank you.

539
00:49:11,860 --> 00:49:14,740
Do we have any members of the public who wish to speak on this item?

540
00:49:18,330 --> 00:49:26,110
Seeing none, bring it back to Council, any members of the Council have any questions for staff?

541
00:49:27,170 --> 00:49:30,130
Or what's her name, the from Calvary Circle?

542
00:49:30,970 --> 00:49:33,930
Colleen, Colleen or Colleen staff is on the call.

543
00:49:34,630 --> 00:49:38,050
Just a quick one, Mayor, this hasn't started yet though, right?

544
00:49:38,130 --> 00:49:43,470
We're not putting our organics with our plant material yet, right?

545
00:49:43,850 --> 00:49:44,950
No, it's yeah.

546
00:49:45,370 --> 00:49:49,250
And this is one that the audience and those at home, you're going to want to pay attention to this.

547
00:49:49,370 --> 00:49:55,370
This is where now your banana peels and eggshells, that's going to go where you're putting your grass clippings now, too.

548
00:49:55,450 --> 00:49:56,550
It's all going to be in one.

549
00:49:59,310 --> 00:50:07,230
And as pointed out, this is an enforcement ordinance, so in other words, if there's no compliance with that, there could be some sanctions for doing not doing that.

550
00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:13,690
So a lot of questions, and as we get further through into this, we'll hopefully flush a lot of those out.

551
00:50:14,090 --> 00:50:18,070
Well, how are you getting enforcement? So I'm going to drive by and lift up your trash can and take a look, see if you're complying.

552
00:50:18,570 --> 00:50:21,970
Well, yeah, they are, but they're going to spot check it.

553
00:50:21,970 --> 00:50:28,710
So yeah, it's, it wasn't us that want to be the trash police, so just know that, but

554
00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:35,870
this is coming from the state. And it's a good reason. They want to minimize the landfills of

555
00:50:35,870 --> 00:50:41,510
this kind of, they don't want to fill these landfills up, but should not be going in there. So

556
00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:45,010
anyway, thank you. Thank you. Councilwoman Campbell.

557
00:50:47,740 --> 00:50:48,200
Thank you, Mayor.

558
00:50:49,220 --> 00:50:55,160
So, kind of piggybacking off of Councilman Hernandez's comments, and as he mentioned last

559
00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:00,360
time when we had the presentation from Keller's cycle, this is another unfunded state mandate.

560
00:51:01,260 --> 00:51:07,780
So let's dig into the ordinance a little bit because I think it does come down to, as Councilman

561
00:51:07,780 --> 00:51:10,000
Hernandez said, enforcement of what this means.

562
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:30,720
So, if I go to page 12 of the 13 and section 8 on violations and under C number 1 says upon determining a violation has occurred, the city manager or his designated issue a notice of violation.

563
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:35,040
So I want to focus on that first clause.

564
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:42,380
Upon determining a violation has occurred, I don't know if Jamie, you can help answer this or Mark as city manager.

565
00:51:42,780 --> 00:51:46,160
Who's determining if a violation has occurred or

566
00:51:52,460 --> 00:51:52,680
taught?

567
00:51:52,860 --> 00:52:03,160
So the intent is to have Republic, our trash hauler is going to be the entity that's going to be doing primarily the inspections and providing the city with the information.

568
00:52:03,700 --> 00:52:16,620
As a matter of law, eventually, if there is any follow-up enforcement necessary, it would be through the city at the end, but the actual inspections, it is intended to be through the waste dollar themselves.

569
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:31,580
Great. That was hopefully going to be my, I know that it sounds like there's still negotiations going on with the public and those conversations will come at a later date as they'll be a second reading of this, but then the questions about enforcement, but that would be my preference at this time.

570
00:52:31,580 --> 00:52:41,120
Absolutely, and that is not, as you previously mentioned, of our own choosing that itself of who has to be the enforcer is mandated by the state.

571
00:52:41,340 --> 00:52:46,660
So it's not something we're willingly accepting or desiring, but are mandated to do.

572
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:47,240
Correct.

573
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,020
Those are my questions, Mayor.

574
00:52:50,140 --> 00:52:50,400
Thank you.

575
00:52:51,380 --> 00:52:51,720
Thank you.

576
00:52:51,940 --> 00:52:59,460
All I can say is we get a lot of unfunded state mandates and the city has to pay for those costs.

577
00:52:59,460 --> 00:53:06,940
But in the meantime, the state governor's office gets to proclaim a budget surplus.

578
00:53:07,860 --> 00:53:14,120
So I would only say, which some of that surplus came to the city to help fund all these mandates.

579
00:53:15,580 --> 00:53:16,400
Councilwoman Haney.

580
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:24,640
I think you're I was just going to add that so the hauler will see every single resident, all of the trash cans.

581
00:53:24,860 --> 00:53:29,180
I'm imagining they're going to have a similar electronic tally to make sure that they're

582
00:53:29,180 --> 00:53:35,320
They're keeping track of who, you know, any violations that come through, and then that way, they report it to the city, and then we get to issue the

583
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,080
define or whatever is going to be happening.

584
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:45,240
How they get to see that, though, with, I mean, it picks up our can and dumps it in the coal mingles, how they know where it came from.

585
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:52,160
Well, I'm guessing that that's the only way that they're going to be able to check unless they have inspectors.

586
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:58,120
All right, well, like what's previously said, they're most likely going to be spot checks of compliance throughout the city.

587
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:04,240
Is every single trash can going to be analyzed for content that just sounds disgusting.

588
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:12,560
But there will be overall review, not necessarily every single can.

589
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:21,320
Well, you know, a few years ago, I had an opportunity to study trash a little bit and my understanding

590
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:29,140
that because each truck has a designated route, they can, when they go to the main facility

591
00:54:29,140 --> 00:54:33,440
and dunk their trash out, they do it in these grid sections.

592
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:41,960
So when they look at the trash, they have an approximate idea of exactly where this lump

593
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:53,600
But trash came from, because it came from that truck and so it's actually, even though when we go to the landfill or even to Republic services,

594
00:54:53,600 --> 00:55:00,680
we feel like we're just looking at mountains of trash, there's actually an orderly process to it, where the truck comes in,

595
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:10,920
where they can properly dump and all that scanning that's involved of each truck tells them by grid and route exactly which neighborhood it comes from.

596
00:55:11,460 --> 00:55:17,200
And those dumps then are randomly audited to see what's in there to see if there are violations.

597
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,760
So, that's how we sort of find out.

598
00:55:20,380 --> 00:55:23,320
So, basically, it's going to make our garbage disposal obsolete.

599
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,260
You won't even be using that really anymore.

600
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,760
Maybe, could for your, you know, drains.

601
00:55:27,260 --> 00:55:28,560
Well, actually, it is good for the drain.

602
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,560
If those of you who try to use that for what it's for, you can find out real quick.

603
00:55:32,220 --> 00:55:39,160
But you can put your organics in still plastic bags and then put it in with, yeah, go figure.

604
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:44,100
you can put it there with the grass. Well, otherwise, it's just going to wreak. I mean, can you imagine that?

605
00:55:44,420 --> 00:55:47,820
So, I apologize. May I approach, I'm Rodriguez.

606
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:50,560
Come on, Trash Talk.

607
00:55:52,740 --> 00:56:01,060
I'm just trying to get some clarification on our approach to continued awareness and communication

608
00:56:01,060 --> 00:56:21,200
As we, this issue is surely, there's likelihood, not a lot of folks that are aware that there's going to be potential consequences for not complying with this unfunded mandate.

609
00:56:23,430 --> 00:56:31,110
As to that, Mr. Polone, any thoughts on how we will be, approaches we'll be considering to try to get the word out.

610
00:56:31,110 --> 00:56:34,570
and hopefully folks won't be caught off guard.

611
00:56:35,710 --> 00:56:39,530
Sure, that's a great question, and in fact, just to clarify,

612
00:56:41,370 --> 00:56:46,770
the separation of organics has been in place on the commercial side now for a couple of years.

613
00:56:47,090 --> 00:56:54,690
And so, in that case, we worked closely with the Republic to help educate our commercial customers and

614
00:56:54,690 --> 00:56:57,710
plan on doing the same thing on the residential side.

615
00:56:57,710 --> 00:57:10,310
So I could see Republic through their newsletters and electronic communications providing information to the customers as well as us through our city e-news and such.

616
00:57:10,610 --> 00:57:15,670
And there's a lot of information on the city website for anybody out there who wants to get more information currently.

617
00:57:16,310 --> 00:57:27,550
And I see 17 natures back there who are really good with social media that after today's meeting there will be one of our message ambassadors on recycling organics, right?

618
00:57:27,550 --> 00:57:30,010
Right, see I see nodding head, so I think we're going to be good.

619
00:57:31,530 --> 00:57:39,730
And the three younger students out front, if the parents permit you to use social media, please help get the word out on trash.

620
00:57:40,650 --> 00:57:46,550
We all make a motion that we accept, staff's recommendation to introduce order in number 2021-108.

621
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:47,410
Also.

622
00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:47,970
We have been there.

623
00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:50,590
Our screen just bleeped today.

624
00:57:50,610 --> 00:57:52,850
Yeah, what'd you do, we've been reading, we've been there.

625
00:57:52,990 --> 00:57:55,210
She got it, I opened the vote, since we were making a motion.

626
00:57:55,470 --> 00:57:55,930
Thank you.

627
00:57:55,930 --> 00:57:56,810
Thank you.

628
00:57:57,490 --> 00:58:08,190
A mending chapter 8.20, the Orbal End of Municipal Code to address state organics, recycling, mandates, and two direct staff to schedule a second reading and adoption of the proposed ordinance.

629
00:58:08,810 --> 00:58:13,590
A mending chapter 8.20 for December 7th, 2021, Regular City Council meeting.

630
00:58:14,050 --> 00:58:15,030
And I second it earlier.

631
00:58:15,370 --> 00:58:20,690
Yes, so we have a motion by Councilman Hernandez and seconded by Councilwoman Haney.

632
00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:21,550
Please vote.

633
00:58:21,550 --> 00:58:22,770
Thank

634
00:58:26,930 --> 00:58:29,610
you, motion passes unanimously.

635
00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:51,750
Moving on to other business, item number 11 is a resolution in support of the brand Huang Mendoza Tripartisan Land Use Initiative.

636
00:58:52,570 --> 00:59:04,810
This is an initiative that I have brought to this council's attention briefly and as well as presenting it at the ACCOC meeting last week.

637
00:59:05,770 --> 00:59:10,550
Let's see if the PowerPoint can come on and we'll go to the first one for slide.

638
00:59:11,710 --> 00:59:20,010
The Attorney General has officially approved this initiative and gave it a very long title

639
00:59:20,010 --> 00:59:25,370
called provides that local land use and zoning laws over right conflicting state laws.

640
00:59:25,770 --> 00:59:33,850
The main purpose of this initiative and let me back up and also the legislative analyst

641
00:59:33,850 --> 00:59:45,670
Alice Off-S also gave a rather neutral fiscal analysis on it as it is really dependent on the cities and counties decisions.

642
00:59:46,250 --> 00:59:49,850
So it's, there's no state expense involved.

643
00:59:50,010 --> 00:59:51,770
It's really at the city and county level.

644
00:59:52,310 --> 00:59:59,890
The purpose of this initiative that myself and members of city council representing over 250 cities.

645
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,160
In the state of California, people of different party background, economics, racial, and gender, as well as several neighborhood organizations came together in response to several actually 67 housing bills that have been passed the last four years that basically imposed on the cities a lot of mandates, as well as taking away the cities.

646
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:34,320
ability to zone and develop it within its own jurisdiction.

647
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:42,760
Basically, what it has done is make the city and all cities become rubber stampers of any development.

648
01:00:43,740 --> 01:00:45,920
Next slide, all right.

649
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:52,860
So to introduce you to all the proponents, John Heath, who is the president of the United Home Owners Association in Los Angeles.

650
01:00:52,860 --> 01:00:57,920
as Councilwoman Javita Hernandez from the City of Brentwood in Northern California.

651
01:00:58,260 --> 01:01:02,600
Dennis Richards, a former planning commissioner from the city and county of San Francisco,

652
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:10,680
myself, and Mayor Bill Brand from the City of Redondo Beach who authored this initiative four years ago,

653
01:01:11,260 --> 01:01:18,600
a three years ago, and tried to pass it as the Assembly Constitutional Amendment 7 in 2021.

654
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:26,080
One, unfortunately, that bill never got a day and never left the speaker's desk and never got any committee assignment.

655
01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:30,960
Next slide, the names of all these groups that came together,

656
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,960
livable California, Kelly, the California Alliance of Locally Elected Officials and

657
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,780
California Communities of Local Control and other commercial groups,

658
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:47,160
Homeowner groups and neighborhood councils came together next slide.

659
01:01:49,030 --> 01:01:55,060
Here is the website, it's called Our Neighborhood Voices where you can learn more about the

660
01:01:55,060 --> 01:02:00,100
initiative and next slide and here is the website.

661
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:08,460
Tonight I bring to you council colleague a resolution in support of this initiative which is basically

662
01:02:08,460 --> 01:02:16,860
to restore local control back into the cities that we have the powers over the zoning decisions

663
01:02:16,860 --> 01:02:23,980
in our within our jurisdiction. There will be cities that support a lot of these housing

664
01:02:23,980 --> 01:02:32,660
bills and if they want to keep the world as they like it, they can. But for cities, what this

665
01:02:32,660 --> 01:02:54,600
This initiative will do, it will also allow cities that want to have some say over their zoning that they can pass ordinances in regards to how their cities and neighborhoods are zoned and if there is a conflict between the city and the state than the city ordinance will prevail.

666
01:02:54,600 --> 01:03:06,180
This initiative will not override CEQA, it will not override fair housing and employment law, and it will not override the Coastal Commission.

667
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:12,920
So those state statues are remained in place, and there are also federal statues as well.

668
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:24,500
So I'm hoping that colleagues given that are positioned in opposition of Senate Bill 9, which is what this initiative is in response to.

669
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:26,420
and Senate Bill 10.

670
01:03:26,620 --> 01:03:36,660
One of the things that Senate Bill 10 had done was give three members of this City Council the power to over term measure B.

671
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:46,680
What this initiative will do is to ensure that no City Council can override voters' initiative on zoning.

672
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:51,740
I believe that's the correct constitutional basis for it.

673
01:03:51,740 --> 01:03:55,100
But I've always argued SB 10 was unconstitutional.

674
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:01,200
There is a lawsuit on that because it's not, I think it's unlawful and

675
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,180
unconstitutional for city council majority to override the voters.

676
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:13,700
This initiative will ensure that it's clear that no voters initiative will ever be overwritten by the active council.

677
01:04:14,620 --> 01:04:19,100
I am, the last slide is, I am open to questions since I did the presentation.

678
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:27,000
Public comment, yes. Any members of the comment wish to make a comment on this agenda item?

679
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:29,260
Yes, Mr. Deguerin?

680
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:51,160
A simple question. I'm only favorited as a great initiative. But how will it be received by the

681
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:52,820
It's best, of course, it's shoot best.

682
01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:55,880
Thank you.

683
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,840
Any other members of the comment?

684
01:05:00,180 --> 01:05:03,020
The public wish to make a comment on this agenda item.

685
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,680
Okay, seeing none, any questions from my council colleague?

686
01:05:08,260 --> 01:05:08,700
Let me get out.

687
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:11,220
What are the Orange County cities that signed off on this?

688
01:05:11,460 --> 01:05:16,880
Okay, so to my knowledge, the city of Laguna Nagell,

689
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:18,720
has it on their agenda today.

690
01:05:19,740 --> 01:05:24,280
I know I was asked to buy the city

691
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:31,520
of San Clemente. I'm trying to remember all the cities that have asked me as well as New

692
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,300
Probeach. Oh, it's on New Probeach agenda for tonight as well.

693
01:05:38,490 --> 01:05:40,150
I'm trying, I'm drawing a blank.

694
01:05:40,970 --> 01:05:46,770
So I was right down where we signed off for that. In the city of Torrance, the city of Redondo Beach,

695
01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:52,990
but not Orange County, they're all on their agenda tonight. Is my understanding from speaking to

696
01:05:52,990 --> 01:05:55,710
to various city council members last week.

697
01:05:56,390 --> 01:06:02,350
So everyone is sort of doing it tonight, I think it's mainly because we all got the language

698
01:06:02,350 --> 01:06:03,910
out on the website as well.

699
01:06:05,830 --> 01:06:13,690
And today, the legislative committee for SCAG, for Southern California Association Government

700
01:06:13,690 --> 01:06:18,590
and I want to stress this, recommended to the regional council.

701
01:06:18,590 --> 01:06:28,010
So it's a recommendation, not a vote, but recommended to the SCAG's Regional Council to be in full support of this initiative.

702
01:06:29,090 --> 01:06:31,010
And so I believe that's a,

703
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:43,740
something positive in the right direction for Southern California on delegation of Councilwoman Haney.

704
01:06:43,740 --> 01:06:45,200
Thank you, Mayor.

705
01:06:45,900 --> 01:06:54,620
And so this is actually something that is going to start, this group has to, I mean, not

706
01:06:54,620 --> 01:07:00,640
this group, but the group has to gather a lot of signatures, like two million signatures

707
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:01,040
or so.

708
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:11,260
So there's a need to gather approximately a million, or that's a million require, slightly

709
01:07:11,260 --> 01:07:11,920
under a million.

710
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:16,120
And then that'll give it on the ballot, so we can all vote on it, right?

711
01:07:16,460 --> 01:07:18,300
And then to do that, though, it costs a lot of money.

712
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:26,920
There's a lot of, there's millions of dollars needs to be raised before this gets on any ballot that we can all vote on.

713
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:36,640
So this is actually the first step in creating some public awareness that there's a chance that we can actually save our neighborhoods and

714
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:44,800
and save our cities while also providing for affordable housing and taking care of vulnerable populations.

715
01:07:45,140 --> 01:07:50,600
So it's not anything against affordable housing, low income housing, nothing like that.

716
01:07:50,740 --> 01:07:54,700
We're trying to get it so that cities can make decisions that are best for

717
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:57,700
the cities that the residents have voted on, right?

718
01:07:57,780 --> 01:08:02,740
So we're trying to take not control for the councils necessarily, but

719
01:08:02,740 --> 01:08:07,600
But control back to the residents versus the state capital.

720
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:08,620
Correct.

721
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,740
And I think it's a lot of response.

722
01:08:11,740 --> 01:08:20,220
I mean, when you have over 200 cities that kind of just came together, no fanfare, no

723
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:25,120
type of advertisement just came together and say, wait a second, one size fits all doesn't

724
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:25,340
work.

725
01:08:25,340 --> 01:08:34,000
we're all for development and really having, especially affordable housing and meeting

726
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:41,380
our arena numbers but we wanted to be able to do it what's good for our communities, especially

727
01:08:41,380 --> 01:08:46,400
you know each cities have their own challenges. Here we have fire and we have oil wells,

728
01:08:46,820 --> 01:08:55,020
abandoned oil wells. So those are truly big challenges that we have that a lot of times when you're

729
01:08:55,020 --> 01:09:09,020
asked to rubber stamp, you don't have to ask those developers to prove that there would be water guarantee to go to the particular house or parking.

730
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:15,000
Parking is a big thing because one of the things that Senate Bill 9 and

731
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:23,240
Senate Bill 35 from three years ago is that if it's within half a mile of transit, that means a bus stop.

732
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:35,740
then you cannot require parking for any development that comes under SB 35 or SB 9, so that is a huge impact.

733
01:09:36,460 --> 01:09:47,060
Or in up in San Bernardino, I can remember which city the water district told the city no more development, we cannot provide water for you.

734
01:09:47,060 --> 01:09:54,160
Unfortunately, they have to build nearly 3,000 affordable housing units because the state

735
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,940
said so, but they can't provide water.

736
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:04,320
So all to say that we need to bring local control back because here at the local level,

737
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,100
we talk about those things.

738
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:10,400
We ask developers to make sure they can get water.

739
01:10:11,060 --> 01:10:16,400
We make sure that traffic is not greatly impacted and we minimize it.

740
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:30,820
and parking requirements and setbacks, but all that is taken away under SB 35 and 827, 910, 8, oh, Senate Bill 8 actually punishes cities for not building.

741
01:10:31,340 --> 01:10:38,580
So that's coming our way as well. So we hope to address a lot of this with the initiative.

742
01:10:38,580 --> 01:10:43,580
It's not that they can't get water, they would have to pay for importing the water.

743
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,340
And that's what they don't want to do, because it's very expensive to do.

744
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:51,900
Actually, for that particular city, they will have to import the water.

745
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:58,140
Import or spend a few billion dollars, which is really costly.

746
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:05,700
And even the importation according to the city and the water district that had made the presentation was.

747
01:11:05,700 --> 01:11:11,880
I mean, even that, you know, the, what they have to charge the residents is sky high.

748
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:17,040
So, there's the excuse, though, the state doesn't use it, that we can't provide water.

749
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,220
It's like saying, well, we can't provide electricity.

750
01:11:19,580 --> 01:11:20,340
We can't provide gas.

751
01:11:21,020 --> 01:11:23,500
As a utility, you have to, you have to.

752
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,780
So, yeah, they don't worry about who's foot in the bill, which is us, but.

753
01:11:28,780 --> 01:11:39,220
which is the city. I'm asking that members of council if you can support this resolution.

754
01:11:39,580 --> 01:11:45,580
I'll move to accept it if we're there. Okay. Moved by Councilwoman Haney. Councilwoman

755
01:11:45,580 --> 01:11:51,560
Campbell. Yeah, I'll second it unless you've made the motion in Councilwoman Haney's second

756
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:57,680
it. But a couple things. I do want to change the recommended action to have it say Wang

757
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,740
long, instead of housing, in between. Do you see that?

758
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:01,440
I thought that was true.

759
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:01,560
I thought that was true.

760
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:03,480
I thought that was true.

761
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:04,200
There you go.

762
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:05,900
It should be brand one, Mendoza.

763
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,440
Mendoza. Mendoza. Mendoza.

764
01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:14,660
Anyway, so I'll second your motion based off that change, but just to make some comments as

765
01:12:14,660 --> 01:12:21,800
well, Mayor, I think I appreciate your work on this and it proves all the hard work that

766
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:27,660
you've done on this issue of trying to maintain local control. And I think a lot of us

767
01:12:27,660 --> 01:12:35,200
brought it up and I want to reiterate that I think your Belinda has proven through our last

768
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:43,080
rena cycle that we are willing able to create great affordable housing projects in our community.

769
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:47,940
We look at the Al Trudy project that's currently underway. We look at the National Core project

770
01:12:47,940 --> 01:12:56,080
that was in Savai Ranch. We are able to create communities that address those needs but also fit in with

771
01:12:56,080 --> 01:13:04,940
our city of your Belinda, so why they're taking away local control from us is concerning.

772
01:13:05,700 --> 01:13:08,000
You've heard a couple other issues and it seems to be a trend.

773
01:13:08,180 --> 01:13:11,200
I feel like every council meeting we're talking about something the state is taking away

774
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:12,560
local control on.

775
01:13:13,700 --> 01:13:19,700
And I think with this supporting this initiative as a councilwoman Haney, I think articulated

776
01:13:19,700 --> 01:13:26,060
pretty well in that this is protecting the rights of our residents who, you know, we

777
01:13:26,060 --> 01:13:30,340
We have initiatives here at the local level and it's their voice that's being taken away.

778
01:13:31,300 --> 01:13:37,260
So this would be protecting their rights for local control for our neighborhood.

779
01:13:37,740 --> 01:13:40,960
So I appreciate you bringing this forward and I will be supporting.

780
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:41,800
Okay.

781
01:13:42,180 --> 01:13:42,700
Thank you.

782
01:13:43,700 --> 01:13:44,760
Any other comments?

783
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:46,360
Okay.

784
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:47,340
With that, please vote.

785
01:13:56,630 --> 01:13:56,850
Okay.

786
01:13:56,930 --> 01:14:01,660
I'll close the votes and motion passes unanimously.

787
01:14:02,380 --> 01:14:02,980
Thank you, Council.

788
01:14:02,980 --> 01:14:06,240
Council, I really appreciate your support on the resolution.

789
01:14:07,220 --> 01:14:07,660
Oh, four.

790
01:14:08,100 --> 01:14:08,580
I'm sorry.

791
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:09,460
I'm sorry.

792
01:14:10,140 --> 01:14:12,900
Motion passes with Rodriguez, voting abstaining.

793
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:14,940
Thank you, thank you.

794
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:21,680
I really appreciate your support on this initiative, and I will be out there gathering signatures.

795
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:22,900
Really fun.

796
01:14:23,580 --> 01:14:31,240
And I also want to let everyone know that the Planning Commission has started the process to adopt an ordinance,

797
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:37,680
and regarding the implementation of Senate Bill 9 and Senate Bill 10 that will eventually be considered by the City Council.

798
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:44,360
So even though we have this initiative, our Planning Commission has already started the work necessary.

799
01:14:47,140 --> 01:14:53,980
Lastly, I would like to adjourn tonight's meeting in honor of our dear friend Gordon Miller.

800
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,840
Gordon was an honorable and lifelong servant to the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce and other organizations.

801
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:21,200
We thank him for his service to the Chamber and the community and extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Gordon was a stable and we appreciate all his great work. And if you see photographs all around the cities,

802
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:26,860
These ribbon cuttings and chamber events, they were all done by Gordon and he's a treasure.

803
01:15:27,740 --> 01:15:32,460
So our meeting is now adjourned to the next City Council meeting on December 7th.

804
01:15:32,460 --> 01:15:33,320
Thank you very much.
