1
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:02,590
We

2
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:53,630
don't want to be looking at the fam.

3
00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:01,230
You are a close and personal with the fam.

4
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,320
Okay, go. It's there. Change that.

5
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,800

Your turn is this.

25
00:16:56,620 --> 00:16:58,040
Will you be reading out the call session?

26
00:16:58,500 --> 00:16:58,580
Wait.

27
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:00,020
Okay.

28
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,160

31
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,140
We're going to have the items read.

32
00:17:10,670 --> 00:17:11,670
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

33
00:17:12,510 --> 00:17:15,970
Tonight we have to read and close session on a few items.

34
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:18,590

41
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:06,690
requiring immediate action. And as a result, based on two thirds of the majority voted the

The City Interest in the meeting closed session to consider existing litigation

46
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:42,350
Carmen versus the City of Compton, LAC Case Number 25, CMCV-02081.

47
00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:48,400
Thank you.

48
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,120
I'm a serving attorney.

49
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:51,500
Let me see the manager.

50
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,240
Is your motion for this item to be set up?

51
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,720
So moved.

52
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,620
Is your second?

53
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:03,330
Second.

54
00:19:05,030 --> 00:19:13,650
roll call. Thank you, Mayor. Member, do you hear? Yes. Member Spicer? Yes. Member Bowers? Yes.

55
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:16,830
Member Darden? And Mayor Sherry? Yes.

56
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:22,380
Now do we have the vote on item is that?

57
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,580
Okay. I can't hear you.

58
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:41,770
So, you do have four votes for the subsequent need item.

59
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:45,470
To add the item.

60
00:19:46,090 --> 00:19:46,510
Thank you.

61
00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:01,610
Okay.

62
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:08,570
No.

63
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,420
We don't have any comments.

64
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:19,380
We have no comments for closed session.

65
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:20,880
Thank you.

66
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,060
Do we need a motion now for this effort to vote on this item?

67
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:35,430
It is 437 and you did make a motion earlier before adding the item to the subsequent need item so you do have

68
00:20:36,770 --> 00:20:39,970
four votes as well to recess.

69
00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:40,950
Okay, thank you.

70
00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:41,890
Just double checking.

71
00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:42,490
Thank you.

72
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:44,710
And that would be at 437 PM.

73
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:37,260
It is now 555 PM, and the regular city council meeting for the city of country is not order,

74
01:23:37,540 --> 01:23:38,800
call to order,

75
01:23:41,900 --> 01:23:44,120
membership card, roll call,

76
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:57,300
member balance, here, member garden, here, and

77
01:23:57,300 --> 01:24:00,920
Mayor Surrey, here, I need a motion to recommend you the green from call session.

78
01:24:07,380 --> 01:24:08,500
Thank you.

79
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,000
Member Deuthardt?

80
01:24:11,580 --> 01:24:11,940
Member Spicer?

81
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:12,640
Yes.

82
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:13,780
Member Bowers?

83
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:14,300
Yes.

84
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:15,680
Member Darden?

85
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:16,460
Yes.

86
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:17,740
And Mayor Sherry?

87
01:24:30,250 --> 01:24:30,710
Mr. City,

88
01:24:30,870 --> 01:24:31,430
Attorney General.

89
01:24:32,170 --> 01:24:34,390
Is there anything to report out for applause session?

90
01:24:35,790 --> 01:24:36,890
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

91
01:24:40,620 --> 01:24:43,840
So, there was a conference with legal counsel for anticipated education.

92
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:51,840
percent with the government code sections 5, 4, 9, 5, 6, 0.9, e1, or d2, and e1, because there was

93
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:57,560
significant exposure to litigation in two cases. There was no reportable action taken in those two

94
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,820
cases. There was also a conference with legal counsel for anticipated litigation,

95
01:25:01,980 --> 01:25:08,380
percent with the government code section 5, 4, 9, 5, 6, 0.9, d4, to consider an

96
01:25:08,380 --> 01:25:10,600
of litigation for two cases.

97
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,680
There was no reportable action taken for that either.

98
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,140
And there was also a subsequent meet item

99
01:25:16,140 --> 01:25:17,880
that came to the attention to the city

100
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,140
after the agenda being posted.

101
01:25:21,020 --> 01:25:23,340
And so the city council met to consider

102
01:25:23,340 --> 01:25:24,920
existing litigation pursuant

103
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,520
to government code section five four nine five six point nine

104
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:30,200
D one for one item.

105
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:34,040
And it was called Diane Carmaine versus city of Compton.

106
01:25:34,100 --> 01:25:36,440
And that's Los Angeles case number 25

107
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:42,860
C-M-C-V-0-2-0-8-1, and the City Council.

108
01:25:44,260 --> 01:25:45,280
No, we're put a little action.

109
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:46,620
We'll take it from that case later.

110
01:25:46,940 --> 01:25:48,460
And that was all I have to report, Madam Smith.

111
01:25:52,090 --> 01:25:52,310
Thank you.

112
01:25:52,530 --> 01:25:55,410
Can you first, can you hear us out there?

113
01:25:56,910 --> 01:25:57,270
In the back.

114
01:25:57,490 --> 01:25:58,290
Can you?

115
01:25:59,250 --> 01:26:00,170
Not with the fans on.

116
01:26:01,010 --> 01:26:01,230
Okay.

117
01:26:01,350 --> 01:26:03,770
We need to turn the fans off, please.

118
01:26:14,550 --> 01:26:14,710
Okay.

119
01:26:14,790 --> 01:26:15,730
Thank you.

120
01:26:26,540 --> 01:26:29,680
You have public comments, Madam Mayor.

121
01:26:38,510 --> 01:26:41,030
The first speaker for public comments is our burial.

122
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,420
I would need to be in the above, district two.

123
01:26:49,940 --> 01:27:01,800
I'm here because I wanted to make sure that the community know that tomorrow there's going to be an environmental justice advisory council meeting and they're going to be discussing the permit for world oil.

124
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:07,380
World-Oil is the company that has been on releasing those disgusting smells.

125
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:14,320
And so I just hope the community are aware and they ask questions about this permit.

126
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,080
Based on my information, there's two different types of

127
01:27:20,700 --> 01:27:23,480
the temporary permit to fix their equipment

128
01:27:23,480 --> 01:27:29,080
and we have another permit that allows the company to operate every 10 years.

129
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:38,200
So I'm hoping that during this meeting that people are going to be more aware, I will be sending out an email with you guys with the information.

130
01:27:38,780 --> 01:27:45,960
I also wanted to let the community know that I brought the flyers that I've been asking from the city to please share with the community.

131
01:27:46,540 --> 01:27:53,780
Not everybody's on Instagram and Facebook. It's very important for a community to actually have a physical copy of those numbers.

132
01:27:53,780 --> 01:27:59,920
I gave one to the sheriffs, and I gave one to the code enforcement, because I know

133
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:04,960
some times community when we smell petroleum, we are very concerned, we don't know where

134
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:09,860
to cause, so I think it's important for the city to have that number and to have in physical

135
01:28:10,420 --> 01:28:10,900
form.

136
01:28:11,740 --> 01:28:16,900
Also, if we could get an update of the meeting with the world, not the world oil, but with

137
01:28:16,900 --> 01:28:18,640
Thank you, UMD, the Health Department,

138
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,860
and DTSP, yes, it will be very helpful.

139
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:33,480
We have a lot of questions, the fire was over a month ago, and we haven't received

140
01:28:33,480 --> 01:28:34,140
anything.

141
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:39,480
I'm just the community member, and I'm hunting down information, and I don't think it's

142
01:28:39,480 --> 01:28:43,680
fair for me to be on the phone sometimes from 9 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon,

143
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:45,600
trying to figure out what's happening.

144
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:50,340
I hope that we can get more information from this body.

145
01:28:51,060 --> 01:28:53,960
I'm not the only person that's been affected by this.

146
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,380
I hope that you guys bring more information to the community.

147
01:28:57,740 --> 01:28:58,600
Thank you so much.

148
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:02,520
The next speaker is Anthony Perry.

149
01:29:14,850 --> 01:29:15,970
Anthony Perry for the record.

150
01:29:17,410 --> 01:29:18,650
Good evening, Madam Mayor.

151
01:29:19,610 --> 01:29:20,050
Council.

152
01:29:21,170 --> 01:29:22,150
Madam Clerk.

153
01:29:22,150 --> 01:29:30,630
I'm a concerned citizen, and a member of the National Association for Equal Justice and America.

154
01:29:32,310 --> 01:29:39,530
And we have some concerns with our public safety and our shares in Compton.

155
01:29:41,970 --> 01:29:52,630
With the murders of Eric Washington and Mia Jenkins is highlighted a lot of things that was building up prior to that.

156
01:29:53,730 --> 01:29:58,710
We're concerned with our deputies, staffing, training, and...

157
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,100
And responsiveness.

158
01:30:03,140 --> 01:30:12,840
Some possible solutions is to have a Compton civilian oversight committee, or even

159
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:22,580
bringing in a Compton police chief just to oversee the shares to be able to report to the council

160
01:30:22,580 --> 01:30:29,160
and constituents. We're also concerned with the lack of transparency of

161
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:34,380
our 30 plus million dollars is being spent by the sheriff's in detail.

162
01:30:35,060 --> 01:30:43,280
A possible solution is to have monthly audits by the sheriff's regarding payroll

163
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:50,220
and expenses may public for the council and the community.

164
01:30:51,620 --> 01:30:58,220
We're also concerned with possible deputy clicks and gangs.

165
01:30:58,220 --> 01:31:06,100
We want to ensure that if there are deputy clicks and gangs that none of them are in our

166
01:31:06,100 --> 01:31:13,920
Compton shares department and we will ask for the list of names of all of the deputies and

167
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:21,500
background checks for all of the deputies to ensure they have a clean policing worker.

168
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:29,540
The city does background checks on our employees and the shares work for us and we just want

169
01:31:29,540 --> 01:31:37,660
to ensure transparency. I would like to thank Deputy McClentock. He just gave me a

170
01:31:37,660 --> 01:31:48,680
website LASD.org slash transparency. That's LASD.org slash transparency and we just want

171
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:54,820
ensure that our women, our children, and all of our constituents is safe in the city of

172
01:31:54,820 --> 01:31:54,980
Compton.

173
01:31:55,620 --> 01:31:57,280
Thank you all and God bless.

174
01:32:03,450 --> 01:32:05,150
The next speaker is Bishop Gilbert.

175
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:11,140
Madam Mayor, should you counsel?

176
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:12,120
I'm sorry.

177
01:32:12,660 --> 01:32:13,020
I'm sorry.

178
01:32:15,770 --> 01:32:21,550
So, Madam Mayor, I look at the agenda last week, I can't be for this body and I ask you, if

179
01:32:21,550 --> 01:32:27,790
we could please reconsider giving seven or actually eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars.

180
01:32:27,790 --> 01:32:30,390
for the homeless situation.

181
01:32:31,010 --> 01:32:33,450
The organization has only been in existence

182
01:32:34,090 --> 01:32:36,330
according to the Secretary of State for two years,

183
01:32:36,770 --> 01:32:38,350
March of 2024.

184
01:32:39,290 --> 01:32:41,330
The problems that we have in this community are systemic.

185
01:32:42,030 --> 01:32:43,190
We have people that are dying,

186
01:32:43,430 --> 01:32:44,850
we have people that are losing their homes,

187
01:32:44,990 --> 01:32:46,330
we have a number of other problems.

188
01:32:47,610 --> 01:32:50,090
Homelessness is not one of our biggest problems.

189
01:32:50,570 --> 01:32:52,790
And I beg you to think about

190
01:32:54,030 --> 01:32:56,610
since you had to sit here and you had to listen to the parents,

191
01:32:56,610 --> 01:33:04,010
the family members, the friends, the lost their loved ones on July 4th.

192
01:33:04,130 --> 01:33:07,830
Recognize that there were other victims that didn't get murdered.

193
01:33:09,190 --> 01:33:15,470
Victims that I'm sure that you were supposed to get a text message that there were females

194
01:33:15,470 --> 01:33:21,010
that were being sexually assaulted, that we were not even talking about.

195
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:25,440
We need money going into intervention.

196
01:33:25,440 --> 01:33:30,960
matter, when you the City Council woman and the fourth district, we had a gang intervention.

197
01:33:31,900 --> 01:33:33,120
I led the gang intervention.

198
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,660
When it got to a point where we could not solve the problems because many of the people

199
01:33:37,660 --> 01:33:41,680
that were trying to talk to the young gang members, they could not and would not stop

200
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:42,120
the killing.

201
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:47,760
But now we have people here that are from this community that can stop it and they bring

202
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:53,040
in their friends that can be recognized by those young people that can think twice.

203
01:33:53,660 --> 01:33:56,340
Now, we're not coming to the city and actually for money.

204
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,020
We're asking for your corporation.

205
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:07,260
David is doing an event, artist first, at Looters Park.

206
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,900
The councilman is doing an event at Wilson Park.

207
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,140
We have a number of other things that's going on.

208
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,940
The mayor, you're doing something over at Tucker Park.

209
01:34:16,140 --> 01:34:18,040
But that's not helping those kids.

210
01:34:19,180 --> 01:34:20,940
We need to get those kids out of the community.

211
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,440
We're going to be taking 10 of them first to Catalina.

212
01:34:24,440 --> 01:34:29,220
They need to not think that murder is normalized.

213
01:34:30,440 --> 01:34:33,080
Don't give this money to the homeless program

214
01:34:37,050 --> 01:34:39,250
that are working and hopefully working to

215
01:34:39,250 --> 01:34:40,170
help in the kids.

216
01:34:40,810 --> 01:34:41,970
That's a lot of money.

217
01:34:42,870 --> 01:34:46,370
But if we don't start helping our kids right now, we're not going to be able to help in it.

218
01:34:46,490 --> 01:34:48,610
Before they take that leap, it's over.

219
01:34:49,830 --> 01:34:52,390
So please, we won't come to be safe.

220
01:34:52,650 --> 01:34:54,790
People are not going to come down to come down to come down if it's not safe.

221
01:34:55,850 --> 01:34:57,470
But we don't need another dog and pony show.

222
01:34:57,470 --> 01:35:02,510
millions of gunner topics. There's almost a billion dollars that they can't find. They don't need

223
01:35:02,510 --> 01:35:06,350
competence money. We don't have a homeless program like that. We have a problem with our kids.

224
01:35:06,570 --> 01:35:10,410
Let's hope our kids and help the people that's helping them. Thank you very much.

225
01:35:15,250 --> 01:35:20,130
Is there anyone in the audience that did not have an opportunity to sign up or would like to speak?

226
01:35:20,750 --> 01:35:22,070
If so, will you please come to the podium?

227
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:29,620
I'm telling you a little first, Sister.

228
01:35:30,620 --> 01:35:34,000
I don't even know why it's back on the agenda. It's here last week.

229
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:39,720
Why is it back on here today? I thought y'all was done with that. Okay, no, they don't need

230
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:46,380
No, we don't need that at all. So we don't really have to discuss it. Well, we do have to discuss it

231
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,620
Like to say I'm finished business, Mr. Darden

232
01:35:50,220 --> 01:35:52,300
We have some I'm finished business

233
01:35:53,260 --> 01:35:53,780
that

234
01:35:54,300 --> 01:35:59,140
The welcome signs here in Compton. We need to report on that

235
01:35:59,140 --> 01:36:01,820
Okay, that's I'm finished business

236
01:36:01,820 --> 01:36:06,380
city manager, I'm finished business, Mr.

237
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:14,560
the water guy, as well as I know David's last name, anyway.

238
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:16,140
You know who I'm talking about.

239
01:36:16,620 --> 01:36:19,120
He was going to show us some pictures of the water whales.

240
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:26,000
That's I'm finished business because we only have one more week before we close down

241
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,300
from, and don't come back into September.

242
01:36:28,300 --> 01:36:33,680
So we have a whole lot of unfinished business for next week.

243
01:36:34,220 --> 01:36:40,760
I want to hear something next week and I want to see some improvement on these water wells.

244
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:50,040
What are we going to do with the city of Compton in the next seven months?

245
01:36:50,420 --> 01:36:54,780
Because in the next seven months, there were the 14th Super Bowl.

246
01:36:55,800 --> 01:37:02,040
People are coming to Inglewood, not only are they going to come to Inglewood for the Super Bowl,

247
01:37:02,380 --> 01:37:04,800
they're going to ride through Compton also.

248
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:07,420
What are you guys going to do?

249
01:37:07,620 --> 01:37:12,080
Because it's a whole lot of unfinished business about cleaning up the city.

250
01:37:14,690 --> 01:37:19,010
And to be honest with you, I don't think you need to make a decision.

251
01:37:19,710 --> 01:37:21,690
We need a meeting on Saturday.

252
01:37:21,690 --> 01:37:30,030
So, the whole city can put in the input because it seems like you guys are not getting anything done when it comes to cleaning the city.

253
01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:31,750
I don't know why.

254
01:37:32,210 --> 01:37:34,610
You want to keep constant look and ragdee.

255
01:37:35,050 --> 01:37:38,190
It's somebody paying you guys to keep constant look and ragdee.

256
01:37:38,490 --> 01:37:43,390
Evidently, so something is in it for you to keep the city looking the way it's looking.

257
01:37:44,350 --> 01:37:51,530
So, the unfinished business that we discuss because we don't forget what we have said time and time again to you people.

258
01:37:52,230 --> 01:37:59,410
get something done with Compton. You only, on a timeline now, you don't know if you're going

259
01:37:59,410 --> 01:38:05,150
to be an office, so if I leave, if you were to leave, you should get something done.

260
01:38:29,730 --> 01:38:39,010
You didn't even count so for Dilma or Kev's district one. I don't number five, $700,000 for

261
01:38:39,010 --> 01:38:47,610
gas, or the whole fleet, seems to be excessive in the same amount comes up every twice a year.

262
01:38:48,230 --> 01:38:52,810
When our fleet changed to hybrid and electric vehicles, why do we need to save them

263
01:38:52,810 --> 01:38:55,330
out every time we need gas?

264
01:38:56,030 --> 01:38:57,470
So we need to look into that.

265
01:38:58,110 --> 01:39:02,150
Item number 7, I don't know why it's listed on our unfinished business.

266
01:39:02,150 --> 01:39:14,030
it failed last week for a second. That nonprofit is only in existence in 2024. Prior to

267
01:39:14,030 --> 01:39:21,450
2024, they were under a whole different nonprofit. Now, did anybody investigate why they

268
01:39:21,450 --> 01:39:30,050
changed their name? That should be concerning in a red flag number one. Also, I understand,

269
01:39:31,230 --> 01:39:37,450
We only picked homeless and mental nonprofits.

270
01:39:38,470 --> 01:39:41,570
Here we are July, you guys are off August.

271
01:39:42,190 --> 01:39:44,130
We have to spend money by December.

272
01:39:45,070 --> 01:39:53,610
If we can't get this revised and send a new RFP to pick a whole set of different nonprofits,

273
01:39:53,810 --> 01:39:56,030
we need to send the money back to HUD.

274
01:39:56,030 --> 01:40:05,890
It doesn't make any sense why there's 24 billion missing under the homeless non-profit umbrella

275
01:40:05,890 --> 01:40:14,870
and we chose to pick homelessness to give $870,000 to I have a big problem with that.

276
01:40:15,030 --> 01:40:20,730
And then also item number 10 is that going to make content safe?

277
01:40:20,730 --> 01:40:35,670
And if so, why did these people have to die for anyone to come up with this software to make the city safe?

278
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:01,820
Limbo and city of Thompson.

279
01:41:03,440 --> 01:41:05,040
We still don't have a city manager.

280
01:41:06,300 --> 01:41:08,660
We still don't have a city controller.

281
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:18,900
We still don't have a city attorney and as far as the deputy clerk, she doesn't qualify for that

282
01:41:18,900 --> 01:41:24,200
because if something was to happen to the clerk, the qualifications of the clerk

283
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:30,060
as that thing must live in the city, must be registered to vote in the city.

284
01:41:30,420 --> 01:41:33,140
And I'm sorry Maria, you don't meet those qualifications.

285
01:41:33,900 --> 01:41:41,080
I say this to say that mostly all of you that I set up there for five years, because they

286
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:46,080
changed the election process to go to even years instead of five years.

287
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:52,860
And out of all of the administration is prior to you, you guys have done the last, and

288
01:41:52,860 --> 01:41:54,320
you've been up there the longest.

289
01:41:55,780 --> 01:42:04,180
505 of the charter steams state that if you can get rid of a council person or an elected

290
01:42:04,180 --> 01:42:11,980
official, if they commit moral turplitude, and the meaning of that is an act or behavior that

291
01:42:11,980 --> 01:42:19,220
gravely violates the sentiment or except the standards of a community, for credit cards.

292
01:42:19,860 --> 01:42:27,400
You still haven't presented the full evaluation of the credit card, and you have Mr. Spicer sitting there.

293
01:42:27,980 --> 01:42:34,580
Plus, I put in a complaint to ask, why the Mr. Spicer have Councilperson next to his name?

294
01:42:36,060 --> 01:42:42,600
He supposed to have at least one of the two documents, which is a certification saying that he won the election,

295
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:46,760
or a resolution saying that you appointed him.

296
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:53,460
He has neither, he's committed the crime of more turbo-tool.

297
01:42:53,860 --> 01:42:55,680
You haven't done anything about that.

298
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,560
You know, I mean, it's sad.

299
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,400
You guys have won the only cities.

300
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,720
We are one of the only cities left with a black council.

301
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:08,800
And this is a representation we have, you do nothing.

302
01:43:09,580 --> 01:43:11,700
And you break the laws of the city.

303
01:43:11,700 --> 01:43:16,700
You have two people sitting up there that are in violation of the city.

304
01:43:18,060 --> 01:43:24,180
You know, and the city attorney before he left, he actually sent you a memo stating that,

305
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:29,780
Councilperson and District 1 was not eligible because she participated on a commission,

306
01:43:30,260 --> 01:43:31,840
which clearly states in the charter.

307
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:38,260
You can't be appointed or elected to elected office within the year.

308
01:43:38,900 --> 01:43:40,880
But yet, still, she sits there.

309
01:43:42,940 --> 01:44:01,240
and you all sit there, and you all, I mean, you just, it's like throwing mud in the face of the people, you don't care, you don't care, and Mr. Grooves is a very nice person, but Mr. Grooves is not the person that's going to change this city, and I don't care if you're extending.

310
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:02,020
Is

311
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:16,200
there anyone else who would like to speak?

312
01:44:18,790 --> 01:44:19,390
Manusidical.

313
01:44:19,670 --> 01:44:21,570
Manusidical at this end of the audience comments.

314
01:44:23,130 --> 01:44:24,890
And we have no other listening.

315
01:44:25,750 --> 01:44:28,490
I believe you wanted to add a subsequent need item.

316
01:44:29,350 --> 01:44:29,670
Yes.

317
01:44:31,190 --> 01:44:36,670
I would like to add an item to the agenda that was not clarified before the agenda was posted.

318
01:44:37,270 --> 01:44:39,730
The matter relates to the use of dollar high facility.

319
01:44:40,410 --> 01:44:44,570
The family is requesting a waiver of fees for the proposed use on

320
01:44:44,570 --> 01:44:53,990
30 July, 25th, 206. I request that we add the item to the agenda for discussion. Is there a motion to add the item to the agenda?

321
01:44:53,990 --> 01:44:54,430
Hello.

322
01:44:57,450 --> 01:44:57,930
So moved.

323
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:21,160
Second, thank you, roll call, amendment 2. Thank you. Member do heart? Yes. Member Spicer? Yes. Member Mowers? Yes. Member Narden? Yes. And may you show me? Yes. Is there any discussion?

324
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:32,460
Okay, this item here is about Eric Washington. His mother had requested that we, she want to use the facility.

325
01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:38,060
to their dialogue for the repasse, and there would be for life from 4 to 6 or 4 to 8 that

326
01:45:38,060 --> 01:45:44,580
evening. The service would be at 11 o'clock at a church, but that's what this is regarding.

327
01:45:45,780 --> 01:45:51,720
She had called, and she did speak to my office in regarding this, and because it did not

328
01:45:51,720 --> 01:46:01,180
make it to the agenda, I would just ask you in a request in asking the council that they

329
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:25,540
So, I could just add that the cost for the facility, for the hours that she's going to use it and everything associated the total cost of $3,100 for the rental facility and $259 of that total would be a refundable deposit.

330
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:32,400
$3,100 to $2,100.

331
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:37,300
We can only waive the fees for the facility for the facility.

332
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:38,940
So how much is that?

333
01:46:41,140 --> 01:46:42,280
Is this the total amount?

334
01:46:43,020 --> 01:46:48,500
Does this include the staffing as well as the rental?

335
01:46:51,020 --> 01:46:53,960
If you can give me a second, please.

336
01:47:06,490 --> 01:47:09,570
The facility fee is $600 and $8.

337
01:47:13,220 --> 01:47:14,220
That's for the facility?

338
01:47:14,940 --> 01:47:15,560
That's for the rental?

339
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,960
The facility fee is six hundred and eight dollars.

340
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:23,240
Okay.

341
01:47:23,620 --> 01:47:24,500
I need to.

342
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:25,900
So the rest of it is for staff.

343
01:47:26,900 --> 01:47:31,640
There's a cost for the deposit, as I mentioned, which is

344
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:32,260
reasonable.

345
01:47:33,020 --> 01:47:34,180
There's an application fee.

346
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:37,920
There's a recreation staff fee.

347
01:47:38,060 --> 01:47:40,160
There's a custodial staff fee.

348
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:42,480
And there's a security staff fee.

349
01:47:42,700 --> 01:47:43,460
Where's the security?

350
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:44,720
A bank of pardon?

351
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,020
How much is it?

352
01:47:46,300 --> 01:47:47,300
How much is the security?

353
01:47:47,300 --> 01:48:04,920
The security toll is for security people, recommended for estimated attendance, and for

354
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:08,940
four hours, the total security cost

355
01:48:12,300 --> 01:48:15,020
is $1,097.

356
01:48:15,020 --> 01:48:16,040
Okay,

357
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:45,940
so we can break it down or we can share what we can really weigh, miss the city of

358
01:48:45,940 --> 01:48:49,160
China, what portion of this can we weigh? Do you have any idea?

359
01:48:53,330 --> 01:48:56,930
That's entirely contingent upon the council, Madam Mayor.

360
01:49:02,580 --> 01:49:04,320
I believe that the,

361
01:49:06,710 --> 01:49:06,950
I'm sorry.

362
01:49:06,950 --> 01:49:09,050
I believe that you

363
01:49:13,910 --> 01:49:14,850
can only wait.

364
01:49:15,090 --> 01:49:16,650
You can't.

365
01:49:16,650 --> 01:49:20,270
I believe just facility fee.

366
01:49:22,610 --> 01:49:23,790
You can't wait.

367
01:49:23,810 --> 01:49:24,910
The fee for staff.

368
01:49:25,210 --> 01:49:25,510
OK.

369
01:49:31,450 --> 01:49:32,410
I can't wait for staff.

370
01:49:32,890 --> 01:49:34,410
I'm going to recognize that.

371
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:38,380
There is a vote.

372
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:40,180
So wait before we go on your part.

373
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:44,440
So Mr. City Manager, what about the deposit?

374
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:46,160
We can't wait for the deposit fee.

375
01:49:50,990 --> 01:49:54,650
I think you can, based on, well, if you make the assumption

376
01:49:54,650 --> 01:50:03,130
that no damage is done, but the deposit is to cover if damages are done to the facility.

377
01:50:07,130 --> 01:50:10,550
So that is part of the facility fee.

378
01:50:11,010 --> 01:50:13,230
So that's part of the 600 and 8 dollars?

379
01:50:14,210 --> 01:50:15,850
No, no.

380
01:50:17,910 --> 01:50:20,230
I'm going to get this back to you.

381
01:50:20,890 --> 01:50:21,170
Sorry.

382
01:50:21,170 --> 01:50:21,190
But

383
01:50:23,820 --> 01:50:28,940
the security deposit is $250.

384
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:37,460
So the $600, $250.

385
01:50:41,980 --> 01:50:44,560
Can be wave is there anything else that can be wave?

386
01:50:45,860 --> 01:50:47,500
Who pays for the staff cost?

387
01:50:51,620 --> 01:50:52,740
We can't wait to staff.

388
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:55,180
Who pays for it?

389
01:50:55,700 --> 01:50:58,080
We have to talk to them about it.

390
01:50:58,080 --> 01:50:59,800
family would have family. Okay.

391
01:51:02,970 --> 01:51:06,550
Because right now we have 608 and 250 and I think it's

392
01:51:06,550 --> 01:51:13,850
something that's we may be able to enjoy and so look like it be close to maybe a thousand

393
01:51:13,850 --> 01:51:19,990
dollars or something. And the application fee? And you can't wait the application fee? No,

394
01:51:20,250 --> 01:51:26,910
I would say you can wait that application. It's $25. I'm sorry what did you say? $25? I mean every penny

395
01:51:26,910 --> 01:51:31,010
would count, I would think, you're talking about $1,000.

396
01:51:31,730 --> 01:51:35,710
Yeah, that's what we're trying to look at it and make sure that we can,

397
01:51:35,710 --> 01:51:38,270
it's just what, the things that we can waive.

398
01:51:38,590 --> 01:51:42,270
And there's 608, 250, what about the 259?

399
01:51:42,290 --> 01:51:43,030
What is that for?

400
01:51:44,510 --> 01:51:50,590
I'm sorry, I'm, to 259, so the security deposit is 250.

401
01:51:50,590 --> 01:51:58,530
the application fee is $25, the facility fee is $600 and $8.

402
01:52:00,370 --> 01:52:06,890
I think if you add those three together, you get the facility cost and the staff cost is the balance.

403
01:52:07,670 --> 01:52:16,590
So you add in $250 and $25, the $275, and $268 is $6.83.

404
01:52:18,830 --> 01:52:19,910
682.

405
01:52:21,270 --> 01:52:22,350
682.

406
01:52:26,020 --> 01:52:28,620
But I mean, is that a

407
01:52:36,340 --> 01:52:36,960
800?

408
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:41,400
880?

409
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:42,600
880, 280.

410
01:52:47,350 --> 01:52:47,570
Okay.

411
01:52:48,810 --> 01:52:51,330
So what's the total?

412
01:52:53,530 --> 01:52:54,610
882.

413
01:52:54,610 --> 01:52:54,770
880?

414
01:52:54,810 --> 01:52:55,610
880, 2.

415
01:52:55,610 --> 01:53:01,070
That's being waved, or that's what's left, what's the balance?

416
01:53:02,150 --> 01:53:04,790
The balance is already cost for staff.

417
01:53:05,030 --> 01:53:07,290
I know what's that number, though?

418
01:53:07,610 --> 01:53:12,470
As a difference between 82 and

419
01:53:18,140 --> 01:53:20,300
3,091.

420
01:53:25,180 --> 01:53:29,300
I left up to 2,000 to 1,000.

421
01:53:29,540 --> 01:53:30,160
No, yes, yes.

422
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:31,820
$2,000.

423
01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:35,960
$2,000.

424
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:36,780
$2,000.

425
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:37,760
$2,000.

426
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:38,000
Yes.

427
01:53:38,900 --> 01:53:39,140
That's right.

428
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:40,740
That's $2,000.

429
01:53:43,580 --> 01:53:44,500
That's what we'll be left.

430
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:48,340
So he says $2,100.

431
01:53:49,580 --> 01:53:50,620
That's right.

432
01:53:50,780 --> 01:53:51,460
That's right.

433
01:53:51,780 --> 01:53:54,640
I'll make the donation of $500 to the Washington family.

434
01:54:00,370 --> 01:54:05,150
Are there any other contributions that you would like to make?

435
01:54:06,730 --> 01:54:11,170
I'll take care of the cost of staff.

436
01:54:13,190 --> 01:54:15,170
Staff is 20 to 18.

437
01:54:31,060 --> 01:54:34,520
Okay, so being I'm like a contribution of $300 to the,

438
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,380
I'll set that as well.

439
01:54:36,740 --> 01:54:37,820
So that's five and three.

440
01:54:37,940 --> 01:54:38,820
That's another $800.

441
01:54:55,170 --> 01:54:56,670
So it's, so it's,

442
01:54:57,510 --> 01:55:00,870
Councilman Spicer's taking care of the 2,217.

443
01:55:00,870 --> 01:55:02,790
I'm going to take care of the balance.

444
01:55:03,230 --> 01:55:04,850
Whatever you guys don't need, I'll take care of the rest.

445
01:55:06,130 --> 01:55:06,670
Let's be clear.

446
01:55:07,370 --> 01:55:07,870
All right.

447
01:55:15,140 --> 01:55:17,420
So we just do it just way.

448
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:19,940
We know eight hundred eighty two dollars.

449
01:55:21,180 --> 01:55:22,000
Mm-hmm.

450
01:55:28,100 --> 01:55:30,940
Madam Mayor, I guess I can donate a hundred dollars.

451
01:55:31,220 --> 01:55:31,580
Okay.

452
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:38,000
Okay.

453
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:38,360
Madam Mayor.

454
01:55:38,820 --> 01:55:39,340
Uh-huh.

455
01:55:39,580 --> 01:55:41,020
I'll contribute four hundred dollars.

456
01:55:41,180 --> 01:55:41,920
Four hundred dollars.

457
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:46,340
It's been contributed, it's done, it's done, it's a hundred, four hundred from the

458
01:55:46,340 --> 01:55:53,600
subglones. Okay. That's eight, nine, ten, eleven. We're getting close.

459
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:04,680
I got it. I think

460
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:12,340
it's down the producing hundreds. Yes, it's down to like, I have a down to like, eight, nine,

461
01:56:12,340 --> 01:56:26,000
in 2014, so it's about 14 adults, 14,

462
01:56:30,420 --> 01:56:34,620
something like that, because so it, okay.

463
01:56:35,460 --> 01:56:41,980
So are you able to feed or, yes, we're going to make a motion to weigh the fees of 800 and

464
01:56:41,980 --> 01:56:44,200
at $882.

465
01:56:45,300 --> 01:56:45,460
Is it?

466
01:56:46,020 --> 01:56:46,840
So move.

467
01:56:47,620 --> 01:56:47,840
Second.

468
01:56:49,300 --> 01:56:49,880
Roll call, man.

469
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:50,280
City card.

470
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:53,260
Thank you, Mayor.

471
01:56:57,530 --> 01:56:58,090
Member, do you hear?

472
01:56:58,790 --> 01:56:59,110
Yes.

473
01:56:59,830 --> 01:57:00,410
Member Spicer?

474
01:57:00,870 --> 01:57:01,310
Yes.

475
01:57:02,230 --> 01:57:02,510
Member Bavans.

476
01:57:04,430 --> 01:57:04,450
Yes.

477
01:57:04,450 --> 01:57:05,010
Member Jordan?

478
01:57:05,710 --> 01:57:05,990
Yes.

479
01:57:06,490 --> 01:57:07,030
And Mayor Sharif?

480
01:57:07,650 --> 01:57:07,910
Yes.

481
01:57:20,380 --> 01:57:21,180
Mr. City Attorney.

482
01:57:21,180 --> 01:57:24,240
Do we have to make another motion or anything on this item?

483
01:57:26,060 --> 01:57:28,080
No, Madam Mayor, because you already added the item.

484
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:33,440
to the agenda for the first motion and in the second motion, you just made the motion

485
01:57:34,180 --> 01:57:38,860
to move forward with waiting the fees.

486
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:47,800
Thank you, thank you, and let me say thank you to the council, and I'll see the

487
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:48,640
manager as well.

488
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:49,860
Thank you.

489
01:57:53,220 --> 01:57:54,040
Members to the court.

490
01:57:54,380 --> 01:57:57,120
Madam Mayor, we move to consent agenda.

491
01:57:59,590 --> 01:58:03,790
Consent items are routine and expected to be non-controversial, they will be acted upon

492
01:58:03,790 --> 01:58:08,710
by the Council every one time, would that discussion, unless Council member request an item

493
01:58:08,710 --> 01:58:10,370
to be removed or discuss a fair motion?

494
01:58:11,670 --> 01:58:12,550
So, moved?

495
01:58:13,130 --> 01:58:13,870
Is there a second?

496
01:58:15,210 --> 01:58:16,050
Is there a second?

497
01:58:18,270 --> 01:58:19,330
Is there any item that?

498
01:58:21,070 --> 01:58:21,470
Yes.

499
01:58:21,670 --> 01:58:21,710
Yes.

500
01:58:21,710 --> 01:58:22,870
The Council would like to discuss.

501
01:58:23,550 --> 01:58:24,450
That particular item?

502
01:58:27,090 --> 01:58:27,810
Um, number five.

503
01:58:29,350 --> 01:58:30,010
Uh, yes.

504
01:58:31,090 --> 01:58:31,450
Okay.

505
01:58:32,090 --> 01:58:32,910
Madam City Clerk.

506
01:58:34,330 --> 01:58:43,750
We will approve all of the items except for number 5 and now there will be tape a poll for

507
01:58:43,750 --> 01:58:47,890
this poll for discussion that I miss poll for discussion.

508
01:58:48,650 --> 01:58:52,390
Mr. I mean, Councilman Bowers do not have the floor.

509
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:55,800
Can you come up please, Chair?

510
01:59:01,900 --> 01:59:02,420
Can

511
01:59:04,660 --> 01:59:07,440
you make this clear about how we're purchasing this fuel?

512
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:13,900
It seems like the numbers gone up considerably, but in reading through the document here, it's

513
01:59:13,900 --> 01:59:21,620
showing that I'll just use this one for a diesel, that we've purchased Craigman from

514
01:59:21,620 --> 01:59:21,880
Iran.

515
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:23,600
It's numbers 84,000 gallons,

516
01:59:29,650 --> 01:59:32,730
it's that 488 a gallon it looks like.

517
01:59:33,930 --> 01:59:34,730
What is that?

518
01:59:34,730 --> 01:59:35,070
Let me know.

519
01:59:36,950 --> 01:59:37,650
I'll apologize.

520
01:59:38,550 --> 01:59:42,170
So that's the money actually that we gave back or did not spin.

521
01:59:42,870 --> 01:59:50,390
these year over the past six years so every year we come to council to

522
01:59:51,510 --> 01:59:55,950
for funding at the end of the year that totals the amount that we didn't

523
01:59:55,950 --> 01:59:58,590
spend over the past six years. So the column that says

524
02:00:00,500 --> 02:00:15,060
What's your, would you do this man? Say that one more time. Let me show it to you on this paper. It's so ordered call. I'm 84,000. Oh, looking at the on the sun. Is that what you're looking at? Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry.

525
02:00:20,860 --> 02:00:27,000
I think you're looking at the gasoline. I'm looking at the one for diesel.

526
02:00:30,810 --> 02:00:32,770
Yes. The 540.

527
02:00:35,110 --> 02:00:36,670
540,000.

528
02:00:36,670 --> 02:00:38,070
$10,000?

529
02:00:38,230 --> 02:00:38,330
Yeah.

530
02:00:38,610 --> 02:00:39,650
$410,000.

531
02:00:40,130 --> 02:00:40,150
Yes.

532
02:00:41,650 --> 02:00:43,270
So, we've already paid them that?

533
02:00:43,270 --> 02:00:43,850
Oh, no, sorry.

534
02:00:43,910 --> 02:00:44,770
These are all quotes.

535
02:00:46,110 --> 02:00:46,730
Yes, sir.

536
02:00:48,450 --> 02:00:52,730
If you look up top to your right, it says quotation or quote.

537
02:00:53,350 --> 02:00:53,550
Okay.

538
02:00:53,670 --> 02:00:58,390
So, when I'm trying to understand this, there are $410,000.

539
02:00:58,670 --> 02:01:01,650
And that amount of fuel is $84,000, right?

540
02:01:03,110 --> 02:01:03,590
Yes.

541
02:01:06,090 --> 02:01:10,850
So we're going to pay that up front and they're going to deliver fuel until it reaches

542
02:01:10,850 --> 02:01:14,230
84,000 gallons because the city can only hold 6,000 max.

543
02:01:14,610 --> 02:01:16,110
How does that, how does that, how does it work?

544
02:01:16,370 --> 02:01:21,250
No, sorry, we're here to get approval for a PO and we'll order as needed.

545
02:01:22,430 --> 02:01:28,290
So my next question, how much fuel are we using monthly because I know we're supposed to have

546
02:01:28,290 --> 02:01:31,250
some electric vehicles, some natural gas, et cetera, et cetera.

547
02:01:31,250 --> 02:01:37,310
But I also read the report where they're stating that the vehicles are old, they're burning a lot of fuel, etc.

548
02:01:38,050 --> 02:01:45,090
But I know also we were supposed to look at leasing vehicles for public works in general services.

549
02:01:46,670 --> 02:01:47,390
So we have that.

550
02:01:47,530 --> 02:01:48,510
These are those vehicles.

551
02:01:48,730 --> 02:01:51,250
As of yet, the fleet is old.

552
02:01:51,410 --> 02:01:58,310
I believe 75% of our fleet is from the 2008 and 2011 era.

553
02:01:58,310 --> 02:02:13,330
When we last time purchased vehicles, so we do have an old fleet, as you see, general services is running around in old vehicles, public works, so all of our maintenance staff, we're running around in old vehicles, yes sir, so our fleet is not up to date.

554
02:02:14,410 --> 02:02:19,190
So this item to lease the vehicles, that's for general services and public works, correct?

555
02:02:19,410 --> 02:02:25,090
Because general services are running around, oh, hand me down the cars, transport and trash and stuff like that, and they need trucks.

556
02:02:26,010 --> 02:02:26,410
Yes, sir.

557
02:02:27,350 --> 02:02:34,910
So, again, my question is, the tabulation of fuel that we're using monthly so we can guess,

558
02:02:35,050 --> 02:02:40,470
you know, how is this, how much diesel, how much gasoline, how many gasoline vehicles do we have,

559
02:02:40,570 --> 02:02:44,390
versus how many diesel vehicles we have and how many electric, what, you know.

560
02:02:44,970 --> 02:02:55,230
So, so for the fuel, we order, we hold about 8,000 gallons, but at 2,500, the fuel tank shut off,

561
02:02:55,230 --> 02:02:56,410
It's a emergency shut off.

562
02:02:56,790 --> 02:03:01,590
So we order around 4,000 gallons every two weeks,

563
02:03:01,670 --> 02:03:03,510
and that's about $50,000 a month.

564
02:03:04,490 --> 02:03:06,570
Do you have exact numbers monthly about much fuel

565
02:03:06,570 --> 02:03:07,710
we're using them?

566
02:03:08,010 --> 02:03:08,330
Yes.

567
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:12,260
It's kind of like C-Dose at some point,

568
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:15,240
or maybe in your report, what we're using on average.

569
02:03:16,820 --> 02:03:19,220
I can bring it back to you.

570
02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:20,820
Yeah, what else about the lab?

571
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:24,100
Madder.

572
02:03:24,380 --> 02:03:25,220
Thank you.

573
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:26,900
Mr. City Manager?

574
02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:36,980
I just want to repeat that, if we don't use fuel, we don't pay for the fuel.

575
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:47,240
Thank you.

576
02:03:54,140 --> 02:03:55,340
Thank you.

577
02:03:58,120 --> 02:04:00,480
Is your motion is already on the floor?

578
02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:01,500
Uh, roll call.

579
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:07,460
This would be for item number five.

580
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:09,360
Item that was pulled.

581
02:04:10,740 --> 02:04:13,640
And may I have a motion for this?

582
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:14,440
Yes.

583
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:14,900
No.

584
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:15,880
Thanks.

585
02:04:17,660 --> 02:04:18,280
Roll call.

586
02:04:20,400 --> 02:04:20,780
Thank you.

587
02:04:20,780 --> 02:04:30,000
member do her? Yes. Member Spicer? Yes. Member Bauer? Yes. Member Darden? Yes. And

588
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:36,960
Mayorshari? Yes. And, Madam Mayor, we would go back to the consent agenda for the approval.

589
02:04:37,240 --> 02:04:44,120
We had a motion and a second. And we did not have a vote. So, for items number four and five,

590
02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:45,880
we would like to take a vote.

591
02:04:48,410 --> 02:04:51,410
The motion is all right on the floor. We had a motion and we had

592
02:04:51,410 --> 02:04:54,150
I can correct, yep, roll, roll call, please.

593
02:04:54,530 --> 02:04:57,650
Correction, that was item 3 and 4.

594
02:04:57,930 --> 02:04:58,250
I'm sorry.

595
02:04:58,630 --> 02:05:02,550
You said 4 and 5, I believe you met item 3 and 4 and 4.

596
02:05:02,610 --> 02:05:03,590
3 and 4, correct.

597
02:05:04,890 --> 02:05:06,430
Member, do you hear it?

598
02:05:06,770 --> 02:05:07,090
Yes.

599
02:05:07,930 --> 02:05:08,570
Member Spicer?

600
02:05:08,870 --> 02:05:09,290
Yes.

601
02:05:10,070 --> 02:05:10,790
Member Bowers?

602
02:05:10,830 --> 02:05:11,390
Yes.

603
02:05:11,910 --> 02:05:12,490
Member Jordan?

604
02:05:13,130 --> 02:05:13,410
Yes.

605
02:05:13,850 --> 02:05:14,750
And Mayor Sherry?

606
02:05:16,330 --> 02:05:17,630
And that's item passes.

607
02:05:18,290 --> 02:05:18,870
Five is zero.

608
02:05:22,360 --> 02:05:27,200
Mayor, we move to regular agenda, the City Manager's report.

609
02:05:27,820 --> 02:05:31,820
Number five is a discussion and direction and powering reach foundation.

610
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:34,720
Mr. City Manager.

611
02:05:36,100 --> 02:05:37,180
Thanks, Madam Mayor, council.

612
02:05:37,780 --> 02:05:47,280
This item was proposed to be acted on last week, and it died for lack of a second.

613
02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:53,470
Council member Darden requested that we put it back on the agenda to provide

614
02:05:56,030 --> 02:05:59,040
some explanation around the item and

615
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:02,680
I'm prepared to do that if you like

616
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,280
So I'll just

617
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:13,280
Okay, well this this item relates to the use of HUD funds and

618
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:27,720
And by background, I would say that these headphones were awarded in 2021, and they haven't been used obviously.

619
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:43,000
So they have been the number of contacts with HUD and communications from HUD about the urgency in using money that has been around for so long.

620
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:56,920
So, in the first instance, in March of 23, we got a notification from HUD regarding the

621
02:06:56,920 --> 02:07:05,620
Donuts of the Funds, and they required us to submit a plan for the use by March 31.

622
02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:12,440
So, we got to notice on March 17, we got all of two weeks to submit a plan.

623
02:07:12,440 --> 02:07:22,820
And the plan was submitted to HUD as to what categories of use would be intended by the city.

624
02:07:25,940 --> 02:07:31,760
There was a second notice from HUD.

625
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:36,200
of what was city actually in October of 25,

626
02:07:37,060 --> 02:07:41,620
amended the use that was submitted in March of 23.

627
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:47,120
They amended the use of the funds, but still did not act

628
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:50,160
to award the money or used the money.

629
02:07:51,300 --> 02:07:57,020
And so that brought us up to March of 26.

630
02:07:57,020 --> 02:08:08,870
Now, three years after the award of the money, I'm sorry, five years after the award

631
02:08:08,870 --> 02:08:21,090
of the money in 2016, and Hugs sent a letter further escalating the necessity to use

632
02:08:21,090 --> 02:08:36,730
money or possibly lose the money, but an RFP was issued by staff in October of 25 and that

633
02:08:36,730 --> 02:08:49,630
RFP was resulted in the applications being received for candidate users, but the action

634
02:08:49,630 --> 02:08:55,810
was not before forth. So with all that then we got the letter in March of 26.

635
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:03,220
And we had

636
02:09:03,220 --> 02:09:14,240
a proposal to present. And when I became aware of it, I suggested that we move forward

637
02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:24,060
What is the staff recommendation for you to the money based on the HUD encouragement to use

638
02:09:24,060 --> 02:09:24,840
the money?

639
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:30,240
So that was sort of the background as to the agenda item showing up.

640
02:09:31,580 --> 02:09:36,100
I'd be glad to try to clarify anything that wasn't that needs to be clarified.

641
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:41,380
Thank you, Mr. City Manager.

642
02:09:42,220 --> 02:09:42,920
Is there any questions?

643
02:09:43,220 --> 02:09:43,660
I'll find it.

644
02:09:43,660 --> 02:09:44,880
Thanks for the council.

645
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:47,580
Yeah, I'm a city man.

646
02:09:47,920 --> 02:09:50,700
I have a long list of concerns here.

647
02:09:52,200 --> 02:09:54,520
Number one, these funds are COVID funds.

648
02:09:55,580 --> 02:09:57,500
And we received these back in 2021.

649
02:09:58,280 --> 02:10:01,940
This organization just became a nonprofit in 2024.

650
02:10:02,940 --> 02:10:06,000
The monies were supposed to be for the city

651
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:08,780
how it was impacted by COVID.

652
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:11,800
This organization was nowhere around here during COVID.

653
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:13,740
There are a lot of sandblists somewhere.

654
02:10:14,980 --> 02:10:17,540
Why don't they solicit LA for COVID funds?

655
02:10:18,940 --> 02:10:22,400
I know it says HUD, but the thing is these are COVID funds.

656
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:24,400
We wouldn't have gotten them if it wasn't for COVID.

657
02:10:25,660 --> 02:10:31,060
Now, during that process, there was a list of things that we could use the COVID money for.

658
02:10:31,780 --> 02:10:35,220
And it had to be spent by December of 2026.

659
02:10:35,740 --> 02:10:37,360
It had to be incumbent, I believe.

660
02:10:37,540 --> 02:10:40,960
I want to say it was December of 25 or somewhere like that.

661
02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:43,320
but they had to be spent by 2026.

662
02:10:43,920 --> 02:10:45,780
So here we are, four months out.

663
02:10:46,140 --> 02:10:47,000
It's a rest job.

664
02:10:47,300 --> 02:10:49,420
We got a hurry up and spend it or we're gonna lose it.

665
02:10:49,620 --> 02:10:51,720
That game has been played time and time again.

666
02:10:52,060 --> 02:10:54,820
This is almost a million dollars to an organization.

667
02:10:55,100 --> 02:10:56,440
Nobody knows anything about.

668
02:10:57,420 --> 02:11:00,540
And we have plenty of organizations in our city

669
02:11:00,540 --> 02:11:02,040
that could have used this funding.

670
02:11:02,540 --> 02:11:05,040
Hey, we have already asked, the human trafficking

671
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:06,820
is a huge problem in the city.

672
02:11:07,380 --> 02:11:08,360
They need funding.

673
02:11:09,180 --> 02:11:14,020
Human trafficking is going to go through the roof as they are preparing for the Olympics.

674
02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:17,240
The prostitution is going to increase tinfoil in Los Angeles.

675
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:26,180
We have United hands, Martha Brajas, she's fed thousands of people, but she's got a lot

676
02:11:26,180 --> 02:11:29,120
of grief from the city, really not supporting her.

677
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:32,920
It would be great to give her some money, so she can get cold storage and what have you.

678
02:11:33,180 --> 02:11:37,140
We have seniors that are struggling, we could have grant programs for the senior that the

679
02:11:37,140 --> 02:11:42,700
city could provide directly to them versus going through an organization that's claiming to

680
02:11:42,700 --> 02:11:44,160
deal with homelessness in all that.

681
02:11:44,300 --> 02:11:48,920
And we know the government took money back because all these organizations did such a poor

682
02:11:48,920 --> 02:11:50,760
job on dealing with homelessness.

683
02:11:59,070 --> 02:12:02,370
Did anybody go visit their establishment in Los Angeles?

684
02:12:02,870 --> 02:12:04,830
Nobody went there.

685
02:12:05,310 --> 02:12:09,350
And if you Google it, it looks like it doesn't look very good.

686
02:12:09,350 --> 02:12:10,130
Let's put it that way.

687
02:12:10,230 --> 02:12:11,770
I would like to visit their facility.

688
02:12:11,770 --> 02:12:18,110
Also, in this document, it states that they have 20 years of experience, and that was a four-profit.

689
02:12:18,710 --> 02:12:19,750
They were a four-profit.

690
02:12:20,130 --> 02:12:26,110
And if you look at the research, they weren't in very good standings with the statement out before a number of years.

691
02:12:27,230 --> 02:12:29,330
In this report, it says,

692
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:38,720
this proposal submitted by empowering Reach Foundation was complete and responsive to the RFP

693
02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:41,460
and demonstrated the organization of capacity

694
02:12:41,460 --> 02:12:46,340
to deliver eligible supportive services for a 21-period.

695
02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:47,560
What is that supposed to mean?

696
02:12:47,940 --> 02:12:52,560
We have other entities here that can deliver supportive services.

697
02:12:53,840 --> 02:12:56,580
There's other things we could use that money for our parks,

698
02:12:57,020 --> 02:12:59,140
that water fountain over there,

699
02:13:03,140 --> 02:13:04,360
other public safety issues,

700
02:13:04,380 --> 02:13:06,320
this item on here, tonight,

701
02:13:07,180 --> 02:13:10,240
a real site, I think it's $300, that's a public safety item.

702
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:13,760
We could have paid for that with this money.

703
02:13:16,420 --> 02:13:23,660
Another thing, the city never comes back with an update or an audit on these non-profits.

704
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:28,980
I eat the last one we did a significant panel with the nimble thoughts that supposedly

705
02:13:28,980 --> 02:13:32,800
providing mental health for our youth and our parts.

706
02:13:33,060 --> 02:13:37,780
I haven't seen high nor hear of them, there's been no report, no update, nothing.

707
02:13:37,780 --> 02:13:41,840
We don't know who they serve, but the money's gone, and you don't see anybody.

708
02:13:53,740 --> 02:14:01,100
The money's could have gone to pay for the firework's task force that failed miserably on the Fourth of July.

709
02:14:01,540 --> 02:14:02,320
This could have paid for that.

710
02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:03,160
That's a lot of money.

711
02:14:03,380 --> 02:14:09,160
We could have had all kind of people in the streets, drones, etc., etc., dogs or whatever else.

712
02:14:09,480 --> 02:14:13,300
That money could have been used for that, because God knows we needed that.

713
02:14:13,300 --> 02:14:15,300
I mean,

714
02:14:21,520 --> 02:14:26,180
there's plenty of things here in the city that we could have utilized that money for, that would have

715
02:14:26,180 --> 02:14:32,360
complied with the ARPA funds. This money's front of American Rescue Monies. It's been here since

716
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:38,360
2021 and here at the 11th hour we want to rush into this organization seeing no presentations.

717
02:14:38,680 --> 02:14:43,360
We don't know who they serve, how many they serve, where are they serving? We know nothing.

718
02:14:43,360 --> 02:14:49,320
I am totally opposed to handing this million dollars out to a dark hall, to a black hall.

719
02:14:49,740 --> 02:14:50,500
That's my comment.

720
02:14:53,170 --> 02:14:53,930
Mr. City Manager.

721
02:14:55,450 --> 02:14:57,270
Thank you. Mr. Bell is here.

722
02:15:01,280 --> 02:15:24,220
First of all, the council did approve the plan for the categories of use of the money. So, a number of those categories of uses that you outlined are needs, but they aren't consistent with what was submitted as a part of the plan to have.

723
02:15:25,580 --> 02:15:37,080
It was, the money was to be used for supported services and a lot of those uses were not in the category of supported services.

724
02:15:37,440 --> 02:15:53,680
And I understand what you're saying, but I'm operating now based on showing up here around me and first with all I'm going to just looking at this letter from her.

725
02:15:53,680 --> 02:15:57,920
that is threatening to take back the money.

726
02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:03,340
And I'm dealing primarily from a position,

727
02:16:03,880 --> 02:16:08,140
a disadvantageous position of not having the luxury of a lot of time

728
02:16:08,140 --> 02:16:12,240
to go through a process that would come up with a different result.

729
02:16:12,780 --> 02:16:14,820
I understand Mr. Grimm's out.

730
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:16,480
I'm sorry I don't mean to cut you off.

731
02:16:19,380 --> 02:16:20,660
We had a conversation.

732
02:16:21,020 --> 02:16:23,160
I remember the Council had a conversation on where

733
02:16:23,160 --> 02:16:26,380
And we would like to see that money be spent on it.

734
02:16:26,440 --> 02:16:31,640
We had that conversation and maybe the term supporting services came up, but I know we're

735
02:16:31,640 --> 02:16:33,260
a little more specific as well.

736
02:16:33,500 --> 02:16:35,520
To me, supporting services is just a vague.

737
02:16:35,660 --> 02:16:36,460
What does that mean?

738
02:16:37,380 --> 02:16:41,720
And again, where is the organization, where are their data, where is their data?

739
02:16:42,180 --> 02:16:48,660
There's nothing to corroborate who they are and just the fact that they've been a non-profit

740
02:16:48,660 --> 02:16:52,080
according to the state record about about two years.

741
02:16:52,420 --> 02:16:54,120
At least some of the ones we have on the list,

742
02:16:54,440 --> 02:16:56,320
we dealt with them over the years,

743
02:16:56,540 --> 02:16:57,980
you know, whether or whether they're good or bad,

744
02:16:58,080 --> 02:16:59,280
but we have dealt with them.

745
02:16:59,380 --> 02:17:00,760
We have some relationship with them.

746
02:17:01,140 --> 02:17:02,860
I just have a issue with, again,

747
02:17:03,020 --> 02:17:04,300
there's nobody here.

748
02:17:04,580 --> 02:17:07,520
All we see is what's on this document here.

749
02:17:07,940 --> 02:17:10,260
And we're supposed to vote on hand in somebody,

750
02:17:10,740 --> 02:17:16,460
attack for $800,000, again, COVID money.

751
02:17:16,940 --> 02:17:22,400
Now, I get it when we get grants, they're all specific, and the COVID money was specific as well.

752
02:17:23,140 --> 02:17:29,920
But yeah, those grants say specifically what it could be used for, and how much time you have to do it.

753
02:17:29,920 --> 02:17:35,740
But I just want to stress it and reiterate, the COVID money we wouldn't have gotten in the first place if it wasn't for COVID.

754
02:17:36,480 --> 02:17:44,960
So, I feel like there's some other ways that we can present these funds, and if not, give it back to the government and let it be done right.

755
02:17:51,310 --> 02:17:54,770
Are there any other concerns or questions from the council?

756
02:17:55,270 --> 02:17:56,430
Yes, Madam Mayor.

757
02:17:56,850 --> 02:17:58,050
Councilwoman Doddon.

758
02:17:58,410 --> 02:18:02,770
First of all, let me thank the city manager for bringing it back because I felt it was necessary

759
02:18:02,770 --> 02:18:05,450
to bring it back because of the hood funding.

760
02:18:06,210 --> 02:18:11,930
And we, in the painted back, this may jeopardize in the future funding from hood.

761
02:18:12,090 --> 02:18:14,890
So that was my purpose for asking to bring it back.

762
02:18:14,890 --> 02:18:22,610
Now, my question today is, what other programs can we use funds for when we'll expire?

763
02:18:22,850 --> 02:18:28,970
I hear Councilman Mausen, December, so I'm not sure if that's the day.

764
02:18:30,750 --> 02:18:35,250
And also, we, all those staff has recommended reach.

765
02:18:35,610 --> 02:18:41,810
We can change our mind and award it to another one of the person that submitted the RFP.

766
02:18:42,530 --> 02:18:50,550
I was at volunteer America's at the Grand Open for the kindergarten and doing the discussions.

767
02:18:51,090 --> 02:18:54,390
They offer a lot of programs, even currently for the homeless.

768
02:18:55,670 --> 02:18:58,770
So, and their bid is basically $2 difference.

769
02:18:59,250 --> 02:19:02,690
So, why can't we do have them here in the city at three different facilities?

770
02:19:03,330 --> 02:19:05,310
So, why can't we just award it to them?

771
02:19:05,790 --> 02:19:08,430
We can monitor them more than we can, someone way in LA.

772
02:19:08,430 --> 02:19:12,030
So that's just, my company's right now.

773
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:17,320
Are there any other questions from the concerns from the council?

774
02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:20,500
Councilmember Duarte?

775
02:19:20,780 --> 02:19:21,820
Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor.

776
02:19:22,980 --> 02:19:30,800
So I know this staff is the one that picked Fair Housing Foundation, but who was number two?

777
02:19:30,860 --> 02:19:32,060
Who was number three?

778
02:19:32,080 --> 02:19:33,140
Who was number four?

779
02:19:33,620 --> 02:19:35,080
That's what I would like to know.

780
02:19:35,780 --> 02:19:40,940
And I agree with Councilwoman Darden, volunteers of America, they're here in the city of

781
02:19:44,760 --> 02:19:45,280
I don't know about reach.

782
02:19:45,280 --> 02:19:49,440
I don't know about reach.

783
02:19:49,560 --> 02:19:50,400
I don't know about reach I have to look to them.

784
02:19:51,660 --> 02:19:56,720
But I just would like to know, in what order were these people selected.

785
02:19:56,940 --> 02:20:00,800
I know that the Fair Housing...

786
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:02,160
No it was not Fair Housing.

787
02:20:02,700 --> 02:20:03,700
I mean, Reach Foundation.

788
02:20:03,900 --> 02:20:05,600
I'm sorry. Reach. So they were number one.

789
02:20:05,620 --> 02:20:06,840
So who was number two?

790
02:20:07,560 --> 02:20:10,160
do we have that information?

791
02:20:12,900 --> 02:20:16,520
I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to ask this, then

792
02:20:16,520 --> 02:20:23,780
so I believe a part of the committee that met on this to answer that question.

793
02:20:28,440 --> 02:20:35,080
Ms. Benson, are you in a position to answer that question about the ranking of the proposals?

794
02:20:35,080 --> 02:20:42,640
Good evening, City Council, Tamara Benz, Assistant City Manager, Councilmember, do heart, I do

795
02:20:42,640 --> 02:20:47,880
not have the listing in order as far as who was ranked second through fifth but I do

796
02:20:47,880 --> 02:20:55,320
know that the committee did select empowering reach as the primary member. The staff member

797
02:20:55,320 --> 02:20:59,240
who prepared the item is unfortunately not here tonight but we're happy to come back and

798
02:20:59,240 --> 02:21:02,600
get you any specific details that you do request.

799
02:21:06,400 --> 02:21:13,700
I don't want to see this item on the agenda again, because I believe this is the fourth time that it has hit the agenda.

800
02:21:19,660 --> 02:21:21,380
Any other concerns?

801
02:21:23,680 --> 02:21:25,580
Well, I'm going to say this.

802
02:21:25,680 --> 02:21:33,880
I have some of the same concerns as my colleagues, because I noticed here that they said that they had bought property here in the city of Compton.

803
02:21:33,880 --> 02:21:38,560
show some that they would be in the city, but I still don't have an address or anything

804
02:21:38,560 --> 02:21:43,920
as to whether they may be. I don't know if there's a lot. I have no idea. I don't know if

805
02:21:43,920 --> 02:21:49,180
they're building something from the ground up. I have no idea. And so that is a concern for me

806
02:21:49,180 --> 02:21:57,220
because I know we do know that they are in Los Angeles and that's where they are located. But I

807
02:21:57,220 --> 02:22:03,300
would like to have where they are now in the city of Compton because I know a lot of it is

808
02:22:03,300 --> 02:22:09,600
this case work, I need to know how they are getting the people to back and forth as

809
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:13,960
force trying to, with the case work it's concern, you know, because obviously, if they

810
02:22:13,960 --> 02:22:17,720
not here in the city of Compton with the people have to go into Los Angeles, for this

811
02:22:17,720 --> 02:22:24,260
case work, a house is really being done and how they take care of that, and also I do understand

812
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:32,940
that the background, the latest, the honest background, I think it's in health and I have

813
02:22:32,940 --> 02:22:37,200
And I mean they go hand in hand, but just I'm looking

814
02:22:37,200 --> 02:22:41,500
we're looking for someone that really is looking at

815
02:22:41,500 --> 02:22:44,780
the homeless situation and so that we can make sure

816
02:22:44,780 --> 02:22:46,840
that we have a system in place and we can address

817
02:22:46,840 --> 02:22:47,960
this issue with the homelessness.

818
02:22:48,560 --> 02:22:49,980
I know a lot of people don't think we need to have

819
02:22:49,980 --> 02:22:52,300
a lot of people out here, but we have approximately

820
02:22:52,300 --> 02:22:54,760
almost 600 people that's homeless in the city.

821
02:22:55,320 --> 02:22:59,280
And so that's why we're trying to focus on addressing this issue.

822
02:22:59,740 --> 02:23:06,780
So, Mr. Grombs, my question is, Mr. City Manager is this, is that I know we have until

823
02:23:06,780 --> 02:23:12,100
as a December, before we have to make a decision, I said, well, we're going to do something

824
02:23:12,100 --> 02:23:13,420
that we have to do right now.

825
02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:19,540
Well, Madam Mayor, I'm not aware of a December deadline, and I wouldn't say that we haven't

826
02:23:19,540 --> 02:23:20,240
till December.

827
02:23:20,400 --> 02:23:20,800
Okay.

828
02:23:20,800 --> 02:23:25,500
Based on the communications out of me coming in, I don't know how they're having given us

829
02:23:25,500 --> 02:23:29,080
a drop dead date, but I think when we hear the date, we would have dropped it.

830
02:23:31,300 --> 02:23:39,640
So you have to provide good of doing everything, anything you want to do, including if you want

831
02:23:39,640 --> 02:23:49,200
me to as cut for an extension based on our situation with we just coming here and try to

832
02:23:49,200 --> 02:23:56,520
go through a process that they would allow us at the time to do, I could attempt to do that.

833
02:23:56,520 --> 02:24:05,260
And I just also wanted to say some of the questions that you've asked, the group, I'm surprised

834
02:24:05,260 --> 02:24:10,300
that the group was not here, they were here last week, I don't see them tonight.

835
02:24:13,320 --> 02:24:19,960
So they could answer some of the questions that I can ask for about their capacity, but I

836
02:24:19,960 --> 02:24:28,780
do know that one of their strengths was, they had access to resources, mental health, and

837
02:24:28,780 --> 02:24:39,740
otherwise, that Hoppix doesn't have, and Hoppix was also here last week to speak about the

838
02:24:39,740 --> 02:24:45,360
value added by what this group offered to deal with the homeless situation. So I just

839
02:24:45,360 --> 02:24:53,400
that as a matter of record they weren't going to be here, but clearly you have the ability

840
02:24:53,400 --> 02:24:55,660
to make whatever decision you like.

841
02:24:56,420 --> 02:25:01,540
May I, then I would like to access courses in this, can this be offered to anyone else

842
02:25:01,540 --> 02:25:02,300
that's on that list?

843
02:25:03,480 --> 02:25:06,840
Yeah, you can go, you can go to an alternative.

844
02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:18,120
And that's, you can certainly, you know, you can, you have an ability to select an alternative.

845
02:25:19,180 --> 02:25:26,460
One of the other groups, but I would recommend that to, yeah, yes, yes.

846
02:25:26,780 --> 02:25:30,380
Yes, yes, you can advocate to money to one of the other groups.

847
02:25:30,660 --> 02:25:31,700
They submit their proposals.

848
02:25:31,700 --> 02:25:34,880
Let's submit the proposals, okay?

849
02:25:37,180 --> 02:25:37,900
Then.

850
02:25:39,200 --> 02:25:45,120
I'd like to make a motion to give this money to volunteers of America.

851
02:25:45,380 --> 02:25:47,700
They are in the city of Constance.

852
02:25:50,960 --> 02:25:51,400
Second.

853
02:25:52,080 --> 02:25:52,880
Thank you.

854
02:25:56,250 --> 02:25:56,690
Roll comments.

855
02:25:57,350 --> 02:26:00,790
Thank you, Mayor.

856
02:26:03,010 --> 02:26:04,170
One question.

857
02:26:06,050 --> 02:26:12,310
Is there going to be a conflict because of one of the employees may be a commissioner?

858
02:26:13,870 --> 02:26:16,870
I'm just asking the question.

859
02:26:17,490 --> 02:26:21,250
Mr. City, Mr. City of Tony?

860
02:26:23,290 --> 02:26:25,090
I'm sorry I'm not aware I didn't hear the question.

861
02:26:25,750 --> 02:26:27,590
Would this oppose a conflict?

862
02:26:27,590 --> 02:26:38,230
And if one of the employees that is working for not only just work for him, he's a director for the volunteers of America.

863
02:26:38,850 --> 02:26:40,610
One of the employees of the city?

864
02:26:40,730 --> 02:26:45,230
No, one of the employees for volunteer volunteers of America.

865
02:26:45,670 --> 02:26:50,370
It would not pose a conflict for the purpose of this vote, no.

866
02:26:51,310 --> 02:26:57,050
It would pose a conflict possibly in another way, but not for the vote to award the money to the organization.

867
02:26:57,050 --> 02:27:04,930
And we can discuss more of that further, but for the purpose of this question, no matter where it went.

868
02:27:05,690 --> 02:27:06,670
So where is the conflict?

869
02:27:07,370 --> 02:27:07,530
Yeah.

870
02:27:08,170 --> 02:27:09,510
Tell us where the conflict is then.

871
02:27:11,810 --> 02:27:20,290
So a conflict could exist if there was a member of the council that would be awarding an entitlement

872
02:27:20,290 --> 02:27:22,950
and receiving a benefit from it directly.

873
02:27:22,950 --> 02:27:28,650
I would have to be a member of the Council and not a commission.

874
02:27:29,350 --> 02:27:29,590
Correct.

875
02:27:29,690 --> 02:27:33,990
But if you're indicating that there's a member of the public who works on the commission,

876
02:27:34,230 --> 02:27:40,230
who also is on an organization, there's a different discussion there.

877
02:27:41,550 --> 02:27:48,990
But the member of the public, the item that's of was agendas, wasn't an item where the member

878
02:27:48,990 --> 02:27:55,230
of the public would have had the intent to seek or request an RFP to obtain the entitlement.

879
02:27:55,870 --> 02:28:01,210
The IM that was agenda is was for the American rescue plan.

880
02:28:02,850 --> 02:28:04,410
So there's no,

881
02:28:06,730 --> 02:28:10,410
essentially there's no layer of a conflict in the outset.

882
02:28:10,990 --> 02:28:17,890
However, there is the potentiality of a conflict when you delve into the fact that there's a benefit

883
02:28:17,890 --> 02:28:22,390
that somebody could receive as a director of an organization.

884
02:28:23,990 --> 02:28:31,150
So the agenda is matter is it, but the potential benefit that they can receive based on

885
02:28:31,150 --> 02:28:36,010
what is being suggested could theoretically be one based on an analysis that perform.

886
02:28:36,550 --> 02:28:43,680
But the answer to the question is no, because the agenda item that was agenda is does not

887
02:28:43,680 --> 02:28:49,800
the city council was moving to award initially in the outset the item to them. It was

888
02:28:49,800 --> 02:28:55,680
to award it to home American rescue fund. Okay. To guide award it to two organizations

889
02:28:55,680 --> 02:29:04,300
split it. If the council would prefer the council could split it among multiple organizations, yes.

890
02:29:05,560 --> 02:29:08,760
And that would of course, that would of course resolve that issue.

891
02:29:13,850 --> 02:29:15,450
You would have to alter your motion though.

892
02:29:17,290 --> 02:29:27,070
I have a comment, so in order that we don't violate any legal rules, the regulations,

893
02:29:27,430 --> 02:29:34,870
because the agenda item tonight stipulates a water and a contract to empower and reach.

894
02:29:36,110 --> 02:29:43,110
So I know my colleague, Councilwoman Duhar, you know, would like for it not to come back,

895
02:29:43,110 --> 02:29:49,410
But to make sure we're doing everything legally, and I hear them saying split it, that's a good idea as well.

896
02:29:50,430 --> 02:29:56,150
So, unfortunately, I think we just need to bring it back and make sure everything is taken care of legally.

897
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:18,880
Just councilwoman, that's correct. That's another option. The council has two options. It can one make an amendment so that multiple organizations or a particular organization can receive the potential funding care, or two, we can table the discussion to another week and that awarded to a different organization entirely.

898
02:30:19,200 --> 02:30:22,280
Because the agenda is item was for a home American rescue fund.

899
02:30:22,280 --> 02:30:27,820
That's just a staff recommendation that doesn't say that we have to go with our recommendation.

900
02:30:28,160 --> 02:30:32,480
We can choose to give the money to whoever we want to give it to.

901
02:30:32,700 --> 02:30:32,960
Correct.

902
02:30:33,440 --> 02:30:39,360
That's why you have the ability to amend the day-adjentized item to make it whatever you would propose.

903
02:30:40,420 --> 02:30:45,660
So if you sought to make it multiple organizations or another organization, you could do that.

904
02:30:46,320 --> 02:30:46,400
Okay.

905
02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:47,500
Thank you.

906
02:30:47,800 --> 02:30:49,260
Is there another motion on the floor?

907
02:30:49,760 --> 02:30:50,500
Or is this thing?

908
02:30:50,500 --> 02:30:55,980
I was initially, there was initially a motion on the floor for the organization that Council

909
02:30:55,980 --> 02:31:01,500
wouldn't do our part. However, it sounded like there was an alternative that was proposed.

910
02:31:03,860 --> 02:31:09,080
But right now is that I don't agree with the Councilwoman, I don't know what life would

911
02:31:09,700 --> 02:31:13,000
support the motion back and just bring the item back next week.

912
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:14,080
I've got a question.

913
02:31:14,080 --> 02:31:14,460
Thank you.

914
02:31:14,460 --> 02:31:18,820
And just for clarity, do you need three votes or four votes for this?

915
02:31:19,160 --> 02:31:20,280
This is three votes.

916
02:31:20,640 --> 02:31:20,920
Correct.

917
02:31:21,620 --> 02:31:22,040
Yes.

918
02:31:22,660 --> 02:31:22,760
Councilful.

919
02:31:22,940 --> 02:31:23,360
It's me.

920
02:31:27,360 --> 02:31:28,320
Thank you.

921
02:31:28,420 --> 02:31:29,220
What do you think?

922
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:32,560
Councilwoman, I'd like to call you do her.

923
02:31:32,980 --> 02:31:33,600
I mean, do her.

924
02:31:34,320 --> 02:31:36,660
Councilwoman, do she has to resand her motion?

925
02:31:37,040 --> 02:31:37,060
Correct.

926
02:31:37,580 --> 02:31:37,640
Yes.

927
02:31:37,720 --> 02:31:38,740
I'm going to request him.

928
02:31:39,040 --> 02:31:39,460
I would.

929
02:31:39,460 --> 02:31:39,620
Yes.

930
02:31:40,600 --> 02:31:41,320
We have to do her.

931
02:31:41,320 --> 02:31:42,280
we'll be seeing your motion.

932
02:31:42,520 --> 02:31:47,560
Yeah, before I rescinded it, you're going to bring it back next week, correct?

933
02:31:48,400 --> 02:31:48,640
Yes.

934
02:31:49,460 --> 02:31:56,920
And when you bring it back, are we doing multiple, we're doing two, what are we doing?

935
02:31:56,940 --> 02:32:00,620
I need to know what we are doing, because it's confusing.

936
02:32:01,440 --> 02:32:05,380
I don't think it's confusing, what we're doing is this is we bring it back next week.

937
02:32:05,480 --> 02:32:07,340
We're confusing to you, it's confusing to me.

938
02:32:07,380 --> 02:32:09,840
We're going to bring it back next week.

939
02:32:09,840 --> 02:32:15,440
We're going to bring this up to us to make a decision if the weather not we're going to do two or we're doing one.

940
02:32:16,660 --> 02:32:21,840
And right now, someone said, there's some of this and spread it for me.

941
02:32:22,280 --> 02:32:23,840
We want to vote on it fine.

942
02:32:24,140 --> 02:32:35,800
But for me, I would say to do a deep dive on some of the other firms and make a decision as to which one we want to give it to.

943
02:32:35,800 --> 02:32:40,460
councilwoman will. That's what I'm saying. We'll make a recommendation. We'll have

944
02:32:40,460 --> 02:32:46,400
according with staff to make a recommendation that the award have multiple. And then

945
02:32:46,400 --> 02:32:51,700
the council can make a decision ultimately from there. And so when you say multiple, are

946
02:32:51,700 --> 02:32:57,920
we talking about the five people, the five organizations that are on this list, correct? No

947
02:32:57,920 --> 02:33:03,540
other organizations that are not listed here. Correct. That's why I was confused. All right.

948
02:33:03,540 --> 02:33:04,860
Thank you.

949
02:33:07,410 --> 02:33:08,710
I withdraw my motion.

950
02:33:09,910 --> 02:33:10,970
I withdraw my second.

951
02:33:11,450 --> 02:33:12,290
Thank you.

952
02:33:18,420 --> 02:33:18,420
Okay.

953
02:33:21,310 --> 02:33:22,310
Madam City Court.

954
02:33:24,390 --> 02:33:25,470
Thank you, Mayor.

955
02:33:26,090 --> 02:33:28,750
The way that I understood it.

956
02:33:29,030 --> 02:33:31,010
Number six under the discussion.

957
02:33:32,990 --> 02:33:34,770
A motion was made.

958
02:33:35,830 --> 02:33:36,670
Seconded.

959
02:33:37,250 --> 02:33:39,210
Then it was withdrawn.

960
02:33:39,210 --> 02:33:48,210
both motion and second, and it would be brought back, and I believe that reflects on number

961
02:33:48,210 --> 02:33:58,390
seven as a correct. We flex on number seven to be brought back next week for council's review

962
02:33:58,390 --> 02:34:03,690
and approval of the multiple agencies that are listed there.

963
02:34:07,050 --> 02:34:09,450
I made a mistake.

964
02:34:09,690 --> 02:34:11,390
It was just number six.

965
02:34:11,750 --> 02:34:12,790
Number six.

966
02:34:14,090 --> 02:34:15,350
It's not number seven.

967
02:34:16,190 --> 02:34:17,090
Number seven, isn't

968
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:21,580
it?

969
02:34:21,800 --> 02:34:23,700
What were we discussing number seven?

970
02:34:24,120 --> 02:34:28,000
So discussion was as I understood the discussion.

971
02:34:28,120 --> 02:34:30,400
The discussion was made under six.

972
02:34:31,260 --> 02:34:35,440
However, it was reflecting on number seven.

973
02:34:35,980 --> 02:34:39,440
So I believe what we're bringing back is number seven.

974
02:34:39,440 --> 02:34:40,700
Is that correct?

975
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:44,020
The Mr. City Manager would like to speak.

976
02:34:44,260 --> 02:34:44,980
Hold on for many please.

977
02:34:45,340 --> 02:34:45,500
Thank you.

978
02:34:45,980 --> 02:34:47,740
Well, yes, thank you.

979
02:34:47,920 --> 02:34:53,080
I agree with the clerk that we're going to bring back number seven for action.

980
02:34:53,260 --> 02:34:55,800
Number six was for discussion and direction.

981
02:34:56,780 --> 02:34:57,020
Okay.

982
02:35:01,350 --> 02:35:01,690
Okay.

983
02:35:01,690 --> 02:35:03,030
Thank you.

984
02:35:03,090 --> 02:35:06,090
So since number seven will be brought back next week.

985
02:35:06,330 --> 02:35:07,630
We move to new business.

986
02:35:08,710 --> 02:35:09,710
Number eight.

987
02:35:09,710 --> 02:35:13,150
First, I want to make sure that we are clear on what we are doing.

988
02:35:13,810 --> 02:35:16,390
So, we are clear right now, this was number 7.

989
02:35:19,670 --> 02:35:20,430
Thank you, Mayor.

990
02:35:21,690 --> 02:35:25,430
Number eight is a resolution of the City Council of the City of Compton,

991
02:35:25,630 --> 02:35:32,490
authorizing the City Manager to execute the professional services agreement and establish a purchase

992
02:35:32,490 --> 02:35:40,230
Order with MRS Environmental Incorporation for pipeline franchise program review

993
02:35:40,230 --> 02:35:42,830
30,800

994
02:35:43,370 --> 02:35:43,830
$10.

995
02:35:44,370 --> 02:35:44,970
Is there a motion?

996
02:35:45,250 --> 02:35:46,830
So Mo.

997
02:35:47,890 --> 02:35:48,630
Is there a second?

998
02:35:51,240 --> 02:35:52,940
Is there a second?

999
02:35:53,300 --> 02:35:53,820
Thank you.

1000
02:35:54,020 --> 02:35:54,780
Hold on for a minute.

1001
02:35:55,960 --> 02:35:56,860
Is there a second?

1002
02:35:58,080 --> 02:35:58,380
Second.

1003
02:35:59,160 --> 02:35:59,240
Second.

1004
02:35:59,240 --> 02:36:00,280
Thank you.

1005
02:36:01,080 --> 02:36:05,220
Now, just, just in you, I'll put a presenting.

1006
02:36:06,520 --> 02:36:07,120
Yes, that is correct.

1007
02:36:07,200 --> 02:36:08,140
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1008
02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:11,720
Good evening to you and members of the City Council.

1009
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:16,300
My name is Alexis Hall and I'm an attorney with Alashire and Winder,

1010
02:36:16,460 --> 02:36:18,640
special counsel to the City of Compton.

1011
02:36:20,100 --> 02:36:24,580
Before you tonight is a recommendation to approve a professional services agreement

1012
02:36:24,580 --> 02:36:26,980
with MRS Environmental Incorporated.

1013
02:36:26,980 --> 02:36:35,640
and an amount not to exceed $30,810 to conduct a comprehensive review of the city's pipeline franchise program.

1014
02:36:36,940 --> 02:36:40,420
This item is much more than updating franchise agreements.

1015
02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:47,700
It is about modernizing the city's regulatory program that has not been comprehensively reviewed in many years

1016
02:36:47,700 --> 02:36:55,940
and ensuring the city has the tools to effectively manage pipeline infrastructure located within its public rights away.

1017
02:36:57,380 --> 02:37:09,040
Today, the city's authority over pipe line franchises is primarily found in Article 15 of the city charter and chapter 2-2-6 of the Municipal Code.

1018
02:37:09,780 --> 02:37:20,480
While these provisions establish the legal authority to grant franchises, they do not provide the comprehensive regulatory framework that many California cities now have in place.

1019
02:37:21,760 --> 02:37:30,350
staff conducted a preliminary review and found that the city's current pipeline franchise

1020
02:37:30,350 --> 02:37:34,550
regulations and agreements are outdated and lack consistency.

1021
02:37:35,750 --> 02:37:40,430
Existing franchise agreements were negotiated at different times and contained varying

1022
02:37:40,430 --> 02:37:42,930
operational requirements and fee structures.

1023
02:37:44,210 --> 02:37:49,710
For example, some franchisees pay a percentage of gross revenues, others pay based

1024
02:37:49,710 --> 02:37:56,130
pipeline length or diameter and at least one agreement still requires a flat annual payment

1025
02:37:56,130 --> 02:38:03,550
that remain unchanged for years. Staff also identified and expired franchise that continue

1026
02:38:03,550 --> 02:38:06,870
that continues to operate under its old agreement.

1027
02:38:09,180 --> 02:38:10,820
Since the city's agreements were originally

1028
02:38:10,820 --> 02:38:16,760
negotiated, both the pipeline industry and municipal regulatory practices have evolved considerably.

1029
02:38:16,760 --> 02:38:23,440
Many California cities have monetized their pipeline franchise ordinances to include standardized

1030
02:38:23,440 --> 02:38:30,380
insurance and identification requirements and hands reporting obligations, updated inspection

1031
02:38:30,380 --> 02:38:36,780
and authority, excuse me, updated inspection and enforcement authority, GIS mapping requirements,

1032
02:38:37,640 --> 02:38:44,240
cost recovery provisions, and franchise fee methodologies that are more transparent and easier

1033
02:38:44,240 --> 02:38:49,500
to that minister. These updates not only strengthen public safety and improve accountability,

1034
02:38:50,240 --> 02:38:53,720
but they also provide municipalities with better tools to oversee infrastructure within

1035
02:38:53,720 --> 02:38:58,040
the public right of way, and recover the costs associated with administering those

1036
02:38:58,040 --> 02:39:04,360
franchises. Staff's preliminary research further indicates that many California jurisdictions

1037
02:39:04,360 --> 02:39:09,480
have updated their fee methodologies within the past several years to better reflect the

1038
02:39:09,480 --> 02:39:14,560
the value of occupying public rights of way and the administrative costs associated with franchise

1039
02:39:14,560 --> 02:39:15,320
oversight.

1040
02:39:16,880 --> 02:39:22,320
Depending on the type of pipeline operator, these agencies commonly utilize standardized linear

1041
02:39:22,320 --> 02:39:28,760
foot fees, percentage of revenue methodologies, annual inflation adjustments, and cost recovery

1042
02:39:28,760 --> 02:39:32,180
provisions for engineering, inspection, and enforcement activities.

1043
02:39:32,180 --> 02:39:42,100
By comparison, the city's fee structure has not been comprehensively evaluated in many years.

1044
02:39:42,900 --> 02:39:55,020
Without a current analysis, the city cannot determine whether it's existing franchise fees adequately compensate the city for the use of city property or recover the city's administrative costs.

1045
02:39:55,020 --> 02:40:13,580
Because this evaluation involves technical engineering information, historical franchise records, GIS mapping, free analysis, and comparisons, with practices used throughout California, staff is recommending the assistance of MRS environmental incorporated.

1046
02:40:13,580 --> 02:40:20,520
MRS environmental has extensive experience, assisting California municipalities with pipeline

1047
02:40:20,520 --> 02:40:25,880
franchise studies, ordinance development, and franchise fee evaluations.

1048
02:40:27,240 --> 02:40:33,240
Under the proposed agreement, MRS will review the city's existing franchise fees,

1049
02:40:33,540 --> 02:40:39,140
excuse me, franchise agreements, evaluate current administrative practices and fee methodologies,

1050
02:40:40,260 --> 02:40:42,260
verify pipeline facility information,

1051
02:40:42,260 --> 02:40:50,460
Compare the city's program with those of other jurisdictions and prepare recommendations for city council's consideration.

1052
02:40:52,040 --> 02:41:01,980
Section 4, dash 11.7D of the Compton Municipal Code Exempts, contracts for professional services from competitive bidding requirements.

1053
02:41:02,660 --> 02:41:07,280
If the selection is based upon demonstrated competence and professional qualifications,

1054
02:41:07,280 --> 02:41:14,260
necessary for the satisfactory performance of the required services at a fair and reasonable price.

1055
02:41:14,820 --> 02:41:18,360
And staff has found that that code section applies to MRS environmental.

1056
02:41:19,520 --> 02:41:25,620
It is important to emphasize that no changes to franchise fees or city regulations are being proposed tonight.

1057
02:41:26,420 --> 02:41:32,980
Rather, staff is requesting authorization to complete the technical review necessary to develop informed recommendations.

1058
02:41:32,980 --> 02:41:38,720
Once that work is complete, staff will return to the City Council with the Consultants

1059
02:41:38,720 --> 02:41:43,040
Findings and any recommended updates to the City's Pipeline Franchise

1060
02:41:43,040 --> 02:41:48,660
Ordinance, fee structure, and administrative practices for your consideration.

1061
02:41:49,940 --> 02:41:54,100
The proposed agreement is funded within the Public Works Engineering Department's fiscal

1062
02:41:54,100 --> 02:42:00,580
year, 2026, 2027 budget, as efficient funds are available to cover the cost of the study.

1063
02:42:01,700 --> 02:42:06,600
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council approve the professional service agreement

1064
02:42:06,600 --> 02:42:12,080
with MRS environmental incorporated in an amount not to exceed $30,810.

1065
02:42:13,020 --> 02:42:18,560
Authorized the City Manager to execute the agreement and any related documents necessary

1066
02:42:18,560 --> 02:42:20,280
to implement it

1067
02:42:22,360 --> 02:42:29,880
establish a purchase order in the amount of $30,810 and direct staff to return

1068
02:42:29,880 --> 02:42:35,100
to the City Council with the consults and findings and recommendations upon completion of

1069
02:42:35,100 --> 02:42:39,180
the study. Thank you, and I would be happy to answer any questions.

1070
02:42:42,090 --> 02:42:43,130
Councilwoman, do I?

1071
02:42:43,890 --> 02:42:50,030
Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor. I have several questions. First, how many pipeline franchise

1072
02:42:50,030 --> 02:42:54,650
ordinance projects have you completed besides Carson?

1073
02:42:56,060 --> 02:43:00,280
Like, our office in particular, Elishariah Winder, MRS.

1074
02:43:01,100 --> 02:43:02,620
I can't speak for MRS.

1075
02:43:03,460 --> 02:43:07,560
In my capacity, I've only worked with MRS in the city of Carson,

1076
02:43:08,160 --> 02:43:08,720
as an attorney.

1077
02:43:08,920 --> 02:43:11,780
I can't speak for MRS's dealings in other cities,

1078
02:43:12,300 --> 02:43:14,840
but from my understanding, they're well-versed in this.

1079
02:43:15,560 --> 02:43:19,900
So nobody's here from MRS to answer any of my questions.

1080
02:43:20,640 --> 02:43:21,260
Not tonight.

1081
02:43:26,210 --> 02:43:27,790
Because I have ten questions.

1082
02:43:29,470 --> 02:43:33,230
Can you provide references from other cities?

1083
02:43:35,150 --> 02:43:38,790
The only city that I can provide, at least from my end, is the city of Carson.

1084
02:43:40,570 --> 02:43:43,070
So, Madam Mayor, I'd like to bring this back.

1085
02:43:43,670 --> 02:43:47,190
Because I think MRS needs to be here to answer my questions.

1086
02:43:47,850 --> 02:43:49,010
Excuse me, Madam Mayor.

1087
02:43:49,570 --> 02:43:52,950
The Jack common may have some additional information if you don't mind.

1088
02:43:56,850 --> 02:44:08,210
We did a tell the mic game proposal from MRS, besides City of Cousin, MRS experience to review the

1089
02:44:08,210 --> 02:44:12,690
pipeline franchise agreement with County of Los Angeles.

1090
02:44:13,050 --> 02:44:16,710
Jack, excuse me Jack, pull the microphone down to the mouth.

1091
02:44:17,870 --> 02:44:38,210
So in addition to the experience with city of Carson, MS also reviewed the franchise fee structure for the county of Los Angeles and the city of Los Angeles and also

1092
02:44:51,350 --> 02:44:57,310
And how many franchises agreements have they drafted from start to finish?

1093
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:12,530
Number of franchises, dropped it. But I can bring back that information to you. And what methodology do they

1094
02:45:12,530 --> 02:45:15,090
use to calculate franchise fees?

1095
02:45:20,610 --> 02:45:23,670
I don't have that information, but if you would like to represent

1096
02:45:23,670 --> 02:45:31,070
from MRS, I guess that's something that we can try to coordinate. Yes, city manager, I'd like to

1097
02:45:31,070 --> 02:45:32,910
this item and bring it back?

1098
02:45:33,150 --> 02:45:33,290
Yes.

1099
02:45:34,290 --> 02:45:34,770
That's right.

1100
02:45:34,950 --> 02:45:35,130
That's what we're doing.

1101
02:45:35,350 --> 02:45:39,710
A combat miss to grooms or city council and citizens.

1102
02:45:40,290 --> 02:45:41,710
I don't think that is to be pulled.

1103
02:45:42,330 --> 02:45:45,050
As we know they did an outstanding job in the city of cars.

1104
02:45:45,230 --> 02:45:48,630
And he just told you that he's LA County, LA City,

1105
02:45:48,850 --> 02:45:51,410
who has refineries throughout the county.

1106
02:45:51,810 --> 02:45:53,230
Compton has never done this.

1107
02:45:53,630 --> 02:45:55,810
So we're going to push this down the line again.

1108
02:45:55,870 --> 02:45:58,690
It's been a hundred years since we've got our pipes.

1109
02:45:58,690 --> 02:46:01,830
are drawing pipelines assessed.

1110
02:46:02,790 --> 02:46:06,650
I doubt if we're getting any impact fees on it.

1111
02:46:06,650 --> 02:46:07,570
What do we wait now?

1112
02:46:07,750 --> 02:46:09,510
We want to scrutinize this more than we

1113
02:46:09,510 --> 02:46:11,870
want to hand over a million dollars to this

1114
02:46:11,870 --> 02:46:14,630
fictitious non-profit.

1115
02:46:14,710 --> 02:46:16,690
We're cool to do that without any scrutiny.

1116
02:46:17,230 --> 02:46:18,570
But here we know they're proven.

1117
02:46:19,370 --> 02:46:20,870
We know it's happening Carson.

1118
02:46:22,410 --> 02:46:24,490
They were very successful in the city of Carson

1119
02:46:24,490 --> 02:46:26,450
and throughout Los Angeles County.

1120
02:46:26,450 --> 02:46:32,070
just told you. I mean, what are we pushing back on this one? Because I think it should be

1121
02:46:32,070 --> 02:46:35,970
perhaps better than I think it's one. Answered. So I think you have questions. What do you

1122
02:46:35,970 --> 02:46:41,710
want to answer? I didn't cut you out. I mean, cut you out. Just hold on. Just hold on for me. Just hold on.

1123
02:46:43,490 --> 02:46:47,630
Just hold on. Just let him finish speaking to Ben. I will let you speak. Is that okay? Thank you.

1124
02:46:47,850 --> 02:46:54,010
I think this is a crucial situation for us and is huge for constant to take this step to assess

1125
02:46:54,010 --> 02:46:59,650
these pipelines and fees is something that hasn't been done since Christ was made.

1126
02:47:00,250 --> 02:47:05,530
Now we have an opportunity for some serious potential income, if you will.

1127
02:47:07,150 --> 02:47:11,430
And we want to pause that, but we'll give away money, but we don't want to bring in any

1128
02:47:11,430 --> 02:47:11,890
money now.

1129
02:47:12,290 --> 02:47:13,090
I think it's ridiculous.

1130
02:47:13,670 --> 02:47:14,610
Thank you.

1131
02:47:16,370 --> 02:47:17,510
I don't think it's ridiculous.

1132
02:47:18,150 --> 02:47:20,430
I have questions that I would like to have answered.

1133
02:47:21,690 --> 02:47:23,910
So this is the citizens of money.

1134
02:47:23,910 --> 02:47:29,750
This is not my money, so before I vote, I want to make sure that my questions are answered.

1135
02:47:30,430 --> 02:47:33,250
You guys want to go ahead and vote, do what you need to do.

1136
02:47:34,010 --> 02:47:37,130
That $1 million is a citizen's money, too?

1137
02:47:38,170 --> 02:47:39,170
We didn't give that money away.

1138
02:47:42,420 --> 02:47:49,120
First, all of every council person here need to make sure that they are comfortable with what they voting on,

1139
02:47:49,460 --> 02:47:51,960
and make sure that they understand what they are voting on.

1140
02:47:51,960 --> 02:47:58,700
So therefore, Councilwoman, do heart would like to get more information, and I believe that

1141
02:47:58,700 --> 02:48:02,780
granted her the opportunity to make sure that she's comfortable with a vote.

1142
02:48:03,760 --> 02:48:08,360
I say, we bring it back and let her, and have someone here to address her concerns.

1143
02:48:08,860 --> 02:48:13,580
Maybe her, Madam Mayor, what additional questions do you have, so we can have that prepared.

1144
02:48:13,840 --> 02:48:18,520
In case, maybe there's some I can't answer that, Jack can answer, but in the event that we can't,

1145
02:48:18,600 --> 02:48:20,680
we can't pass that over to MRS.

1146
02:48:21,480 --> 02:48:31,660
I'm sorry, I can text you these questions if you'd like, or do you want me to read them all, I will.

1147
02:48:31,940 --> 02:48:33,360
Ms. Madam here.

1148
02:48:33,740 --> 02:48:35,040
Mr. City Manager.

1149
02:48:35,300 --> 02:48:39,200
Councilmember Duarte, you can give those questions to me later.

1150
02:48:39,840 --> 02:48:41,440
Okay, I'll do that.

1151
02:48:41,980 --> 02:48:44,080
Okay, thank you so much for coming.

1152
02:48:44,660 --> 02:48:45,140
Thank you.

1153
02:48:56,580 --> 02:48:57,240
Thank you, Mayor.

1154
02:48:57,240 --> 02:49:07,200
We had a first and a second, so who, who, who by the emotion, believe that was councilwoman, do I, do you make an emotion?

1155
02:49:07,740 --> 02:49:17,780
Member Darden, make the motion, councilman Darden, will you consider pulling your, you know, you know, you was joined your motion.

1156
02:49:18,500 --> 02:49:24,920
Yes, I withdraw my motion. Okay, and the second was from councilman Spicer.

1157
02:49:24,920 --> 02:49:26,800
I would also withdraw my motion.

1158
02:49:27,200 --> 02:49:27,920
Okay, thank you.

1159
02:49:28,580 --> 02:49:30,600
And it will be table to come back next week.

1160
02:49:32,260 --> 02:49:33,320
Thank you.

1161
02:49:33,900 --> 02:49:36,800
Thank you, Mayor, this item will be brought back next week.

1162
02:49:37,940 --> 02:49:41,660
Number nine is a resolution of the city council of the city of Compton,

1163
02:49:41,840 --> 02:49:49,060
not the rising the city manager to enter into an agreement and establish a purchase order to Johnson control ink

1164
02:49:49,060 --> 02:50:06,120
For the replacement of the back cooling tower located at the Compton City Hall in the amount of 524,177 dollars and 50 cents is your motion.

1165
02:50:06,460 --> 02:50:07,760
So moved.

1166
02:50:08,160 --> 02:50:08,820
The second.

1167
02:50:09,300 --> 02:50:10,340
Second.

1168
02:50:12,060 --> 02:50:12,460
Discussion?

1169
02:50:13,060 --> 02:50:19,880
Is this item going to fix the AC that's in City Hall?

1170
02:50:21,980 --> 02:50:22,540
Yes.

1171
02:50:25,080 --> 02:50:28,600
Well, I see this gentleman's about to speak.

1172
02:50:29,920 --> 02:50:30,860
My name is Charles Thompson.

1173
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:33,600
I work for John's Controls as a Project Development Engineer.

1174
02:50:34,240 --> 02:50:36,640
So you said this will fix the problem that you're currently having,

1175
02:50:36,940 --> 02:50:38,780
that your cooling system doesn't operate properly.

1176
02:50:41,470 --> 02:50:43,950
Is there any type of warranty or...

1177
02:50:44,810 --> 02:50:50,950
It's a warrant to you or anything with this yesterday you get a year warranty on parts on labor on a part to labor's for

1178
02:50:50,950 --> 02:50:58,330
Hello excuse me for how long I can't hear you over the talk yeah for how long it's for one year one year of yes

1179
02:51:00,230 --> 02:51:06,110
Is that the best that we can get is one year warranty that sounds like that don't sound like a lot for this amount of money

1180
02:51:08,370 --> 02:51:09,170
Thank you

1181
02:51:09,170 --> 02:51:10,030
have a hard time hearing.

1182
02:51:11,070 --> 02:51:14,290
We could look into whether BAC which stands for Baltimore Air Corps

1183
02:51:14,290 --> 02:51:17,010
as an extended warranty issue or plan,

1184
02:51:17,710 --> 02:51:21,030
but typically the only apply for a provider

1185
02:51:21,030 --> 02:51:21,750
when you're warranty.

1186
02:51:24,170 --> 02:51:25,370
$500,000.

1187
02:51:27,450 --> 02:51:28,650
That's tough.

1188
02:51:29,890 --> 02:51:30,490
Okay.

1189
02:51:31,070 --> 02:51:32,450
That was my question.

1190
02:51:33,130 --> 02:51:33,710
Anyone else?

1191
02:51:35,190 --> 02:51:35,790
Yeah.

1192
02:51:35,790 --> 02:51:38,750
I have, yes, thank you, Madam Mayor.

1193
02:51:39,910 --> 02:51:46,030
So I noticed we've done a lot of, I mean, repairs on our AC system.

1194
02:51:46,570 --> 02:51:49,010
So how much would it cost to put in a brand new system?

1195
02:51:49,050 --> 02:51:52,410
This system is probably over 40 years old.

1196
02:51:53,090 --> 02:51:55,830
So, because we don't want to just keep spending money

1197
02:51:55,830 --> 02:52:00,250
and maybe it would be more feasible to just do a whole new system.

1198
02:52:00,850 --> 02:52:03,830
Okay, so what is your system consists of four different parts.

1199
02:52:03,830 --> 02:52:10,770
This is a part that cools the water that allows the equipment to run kind of like a radiator for a car.

1200
02:52:11,150 --> 02:52:16,130
The compressors are the chillers are another component to replace it.

1201
02:52:16,230 --> 02:52:21,330
The debris will place about 20 years ago, and then you have the air hamming system and all of the duckwork.

1202
02:52:22,110 --> 02:52:26,910
So to go through and replace it all, it would be in a multis of millions of dollars.

1203
02:52:27,590 --> 02:52:31,850
We provide proposals, I think, two years ago to replace the chillers.

1204
02:52:31,850 --> 02:52:34,530
and other components of the system.

1205
02:52:35,510 --> 02:52:38,590
This is the most urgent need right now to get you up and running.

1206
02:52:40,310 --> 02:52:42,990
So, two years ago, we did not replace the chillers.

1207
02:52:43,450 --> 02:52:43,930
No.

1208
02:52:45,410 --> 02:52:47,930
So I did see the pictures and they are discussing.

1209
02:52:49,590 --> 02:52:49,710
So, no.

1210
02:52:50,130 --> 02:52:51,090
I'm sure what was that?

1211
02:52:51,270 --> 02:52:57,430
I said, I did see the pictures that was provided for the chillers.

1212
02:52:58,090 --> 02:53:03,610
And they look very disturbing, so.

1213
02:53:05,010 --> 02:53:06,730
I'll just have a question for you.

1214
02:53:07,150 --> 02:53:12,930
It says here after, let's see, on July 9th,

1215
02:53:13,210 --> 02:53:15,650
that you guys assessed the cooling tower,

1216
02:53:16,150 --> 02:53:18,110
and determined that basically it need to be replaced.

1217
02:53:18,410 --> 02:53:20,950
You guys have been out here quite a bit over the last two years.

1218
02:53:22,370 --> 02:53:25,450
So, two or three years ago, you didn't notice that we needed this.

1219
02:53:26,050 --> 02:53:29,790
We have been recommended to replace the coolant tower over the last three or four years.

1220
02:53:30,150 --> 02:53:31,110
I see.

1221
02:53:31,330 --> 02:53:33,030
Keeping it running as long as we could.

1222
02:53:33,650 --> 02:53:34,030
Thank you.

1223
02:53:34,570 --> 02:53:34,770
Okay.

1224
02:53:35,410 --> 02:53:37,310
Do we have staff to speak on this item?

1225
02:53:41,150 --> 02:53:42,370
Oh, thank you.

1226
02:53:42,490 --> 02:53:43,430
How are you doing tonight?

1227
02:53:44,450 --> 02:53:45,390
My name is Janelle Biden.

1228
02:53:45,490 --> 02:53:47,330
I'm the Director for General Services.

1229
02:53:47,570 --> 02:53:49,070
I do have some additional information.

1230
02:53:49,550 --> 02:53:50,130
Thank you.

1231
02:53:50,130 --> 02:53:57,670
The 524,177 includes the removal of the existing tower.

1232
02:53:58,190 --> 02:54:01,930
We would do a new concrete pad underneath the tower that's currently there.

1233
02:54:02,710 --> 02:54:11,310
We would also have a temporary cooling tower system that's going to be established for two months,

1234
02:54:11,590 --> 02:54:15,450
because it takes six weeks to get the actual tower that we need to replace.

1235
02:54:15,450 --> 02:54:25,930
So that will sustain the chambers as well as in the actual city hall, so that should sustain the AC until we have that replaced.

1236
02:54:26,590 --> 02:54:36,370
Then additional to that, that's also the crane to actually move in the new tower that we would have to install once we have removed the other one.

1237
02:54:36,370 --> 02:54:39,750
So there would be two different phases in this job.

1238
02:54:39,950 --> 02:54:42,330
The first phase would be to remove it.

1239
02:54:42,670 --> 02:54:47,830
The second phase would be to install the tower when it comes in six weeks.

1240
02:54:50,070 --> 02:54:51,050
I have a question.

1241
02:54:53,050 --> 02:54:55,730
Ms. Biden, I know that you were not here

1242
02:54:55,730 --> 02:54:59,250
when we re-modeled the chambers.

1243
02:55:00,570 --> 02:55:03,690
But I thought all of that was taken care of

1244
02:55:03,690 --> 02:55:09,250
And when this area got remodeled that we took care of the AC, but it's not working in here.

1245
02:55:10,110 --> 02:55:16,190
So what did we pay for when we had the council chambers remodeled?

1246
02:55:17,510 --> 02:55:20,790
I'm sorry I can't speak on exactly what was done here for the AC.

1247
02:55:20,930 --> 02:55:24,510
I do notice a tight in system with the AC that we have for the city hall.

1248
02:55:24,910 --> 02:55:28,550
So as far as I'm aware, I can try to get the information for you.

1249
02:55:29,410 --> 02:55:37,210
But they did not, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, did any repairs to this system here, or and or make you a separate unit.

1250
02:55:37,810 --> 02:55:42,550
So basically, you're running off of the AC unit we have in the city hall.

1251
02:55:42,830 --> 02:55:47,310
So when we need to replace the chillers, when we need the towers, this chambers will be affected.

1252
02:55:48,730 --> 02:55:49,150
Thank you.

1253
02:55:49,590 --> 02:55:57,050
I only see one respond to this proposal, or was there a proposal put out? Were there RFP put out for this?

1254
02:55:57,050 --> 02:56:04,150
No, sir, because they actually are the only company that can service the equipment because it's the actual Johnson controls equipment

1255
02:56:04,750 --> 02:56:07,050
And we have a service agreement with them

1256
02:56:09,430 --> 02:56:12,170
Would you please repeat that again?

1257
02:56:12,350 --> 02:56:13,110
I'm sorry.

1258
02:56:13,110 --> 02:56:16,250
You said that they are the only one that can service

1259
02:56:16,250 --> 02:56:17,090
That equipment.

1260
02:56:17,330 --> 02:56:21,870
Yes, so basically Johnson controls a part of me I didn't mean to cut you off

1261
02:56:21,870 --> 02:56:25,370
It's Johnson's control system, it's their equipment.

1262
02:56:25,910 --> 02:56:28,110
So even if we got another company to come in,

1263
02:56:28,130 --> 02:56:31,410
they would purchase the equipment from Johnson controls.

1264
02:56:31,530 --> 02:56:32,910
What if we get a whole new system?

1265
02:56:34,430 --> 02:56:36,590
That's, yes, if that's the direction you would like to go,

1266
02:56:36,730 --> 02:56:38,550
we would have to look into that.

1267
02:56:38,670 --> 02:56:40,870
We can get a different company at that point, yes.

1268
02:56:41,050 --> 02:56:43,010
You know, I'm going to say this in,

1269
02:56:43,670 --> 02:56:46,450
you know, I'm not trying to be mean in any way,

1270
02:56:47,090 --> 02:56:50,090
but we've been going through this for so long

1271
02:56:50,090 --> 02:56:56,550
And until I'm just wondering how much money how we really invested into trying to fix this

1272
02:56:56,550 --> 02:57:02,970
acquisition system in this 80-haw, because I would just throw in money down a drain.

1273
02:57:03,690 --> 02:57:07,630
We fix it and then we break down and we fix it and we break down and fix it and then we break down.

1274
02:57:08,910 --> 02:57:16,170
So for me, I'm just like how much will it cost and we do need to start trying to put money aside in order

1275
02:57:16,170 --> 02:57:21,530
to put a new system in here. What is it that we really need to do in order to try to make sure

1276
02:57:21,530 --> 02:57:29,350
that we are not constantly constantly of the employees, of freezing and freezing in the one

1277
02:57:29,350 --> 02:57:29,750
or ten.

1278
02:57:33,430 --> 02:57:36,830
What is it that we can do in order to address this issue?

1279
02:57:41,670 --> 02:57:46,150
What is it that we can do in order to

1280
02:57:46,150 --> 02:57:51,310
into something, and it doesn't seem to be really fixed in the problem, then you get to fill

1281
02:57:51,310 --> 02:57:53,510
the cell that you just throw in money down the drain.

1282
02:57:54,670 --> 02:57:59,950
And so please give me a picture.

1283
02:58:01,570 --> 02:58:04,970
So what I was saying earlier, there was multiple components to this.

1284
02:58:05,370 --> 02:58:09,770
And each one is like on a car, you have the tire goes flat, you have air commission breaks, all

1285
02:58:09,770 --> 02:58:15,130
things like that. To replace the entire thing, we require a tear and the entire building

1286
02:58:15,130 --> 02:58:19,030
for it, and we're facing the air hanners, the children's not hours all at one. We actually

1287
02:58:19,030 --> 02:58:25,610
provided that budgetary pricing several years ago to renovate your hangar, face the children's

1288
02:58:25,610 --> 02:58:29,810
and the coolant tower, and associated pumps and other components, and bringing up the current

1289
02:58:29,810 --> 02:58:37,750
codes and most energy efficient. This would be the first step. I guess we could update pricing

1290
02:58:37,750 --> 02:58:42,730
for the rest of the building also, but it was your deck a few years ago.

1291
02:58:44,730 --> 02:58:49,410
This is the most critical component to get it up and running right now, and as far as

1292
02:58:49,410 --> 02:58:55,750
minor breaks down and thrown it down the drain, everything of 20 years of age will suffer

1293
02:58:55,750 --> 02:58:58,410
failures, and at least they're all minor.

1294
02:58:59,070 --> 02:59:00,010
This one is the major one.

1295
02:59:01,570 --> 02:59:06,610
And please be reminded that the killer won and two still need to be replaced, so this is only

1296
02:59:06,610 --> 02:59:12,630
water that's going to the unit that's going to be cooling down to allow the units to run without

1297
02:59:12,630 --> 02:59:16,690
burning out the chili run in Chile too. We still need to replace those which is going to be

1298
02:59:16,690 --> 02:59:22,330
so the chili's have to be replaced next. Okay, so right now we're replacing what are we replacing now?

1299
02:59:23,450 --> 02:59:30,730
The tower. The tower. Yes. Yes. Tower is being replaced. And then as far as some of the repairs

1300
02:59:30,730 --> 02:59:37,910
I know you mentioned that. I think there was a lot of trying to maintain it without actually fixing it properly.

1301
02:59:37,930 --> 02:59:44,070
And I hope moving forward that we will be able to fix the AC.

1302
02:59:45,050 --> 02:59:51,590
So we'll fix the tower, the chillers, and then we will be able to sustain the AC without having to change out the whole system.

1303
02:59:51,590 --> 02:59:56,870
and we haven't had any work done on the children be prior to this.

1304
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:04,100
Now, is this the first stop having the work done on the Chilla?

1305
03:00:04,460 --> 03:00:09,380
We've had some work done on the Chilers. Yes. You guys approved, I think, gives on April 28.

1306
03:00:12,660 --> 03:00:23,840
But April 28, the council did approve for Chilla repairs. So we did the repairs that were necessary to keep the unit from the

1307
03:00:23,840 --> 03:00:31,060
from damage with the chillers, and then now the tower will help keep the water cool so we don't

1308
03:00:31,060 --> 03:00:36,600
continue damaging those chillers. But eventually they will need to be replaced because they

1309
03:00:36,600 --> 03:00:38,760
are past their life expectancy.

1310
03:00:39,740 --> 03:00:40,840
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1311
03:00:42,480 --> 03:00:43,360
Okay, thank you.

1312
03:00:43,380 --> 03:00:47,000
Well, what is it going to cost us for a whole new system? Do you have any idea of that?

1313
03:00:47,080 --> 03:00:48,000
I don't have that quote now.

1314
03:00:48,260 --> 03:00:48,960
I don't have that idea.

1315
03:00:48,960 --> 03:00:52,040
Could you get that information for us, please?

1316
03:00:52,240 --> 03:00:53,040
We have some idea.

1317
03:00:53,620 --> 03:00:54,860
So what we're looking at?

1318
03:00:55,820 --> 03:00:56,800
Sir, the chillers.

1319
03:00:56,920 --> 03:00:57,760
What would those costs?

1320
03:00:57,760 --> 03:01:00,220
You said one in two need to be replaced now.

1321
03:01:00,440 --> 03:01:01,000
The chillers.

1322
03:01:02,780 --> 03:01:03,660
The mic.

1323
03:01:03,960 --> 03:01:04,440
The mic.

1324
03:01:04,440 --> 03:01:04,860
The mic.

1325
03:01:05,080 --> 03:01:06,500
We can't hear you talking to the mic.

1326
03:01:06,940 --> 03:01:07,240
I don't know.

1327
03:01:07,900 --> 03:01:08,160
Sorry.

1328
03:01:09,340 --> 03:01:11,880
I don't have that proposal in front of you.

1329
03:01:12,900 --> 03:01:16,820
We can run updated and give that phrase to you.

1330
03:01:16,820 --> 03:01:19,720
So, it means in excess of 500,000?

1331
03:01:21,580 --> 03:01:22,500
For the children.

1332
03:01:23,200 --> 03:01:23,940
Excuse me?

1333
03:01:24,120 --> 03:01:25,820
You said, just for the children's.

1334
03:01:26,620 --> 03:01:33,680
It's to replace both children's, the pumps that are in there and bring it up to cold with a refrigerant monitoring exhaust systems.

1335
03:01:34,120 --> 03:01:35,040
The things like that.

1336
03:01:35,220 --> 03:01:36,680
It'll be like over 500,000.

1337
03:01:37,680 --> 03:01:40,660
If you take an educated, yes, it's probably around a million dollars.

1338
03:01:42,320 --> 03:01:43,200
We should have used that money.

1339
03:01:43,280 --> 03:01:44,560
We're about to get way tonight for that.

1340
03:01:46,840 --> 03:01:56,200
I'd like to see what this looks like to get a whole new system, just get a quote to try to redo the entire system.

1341
03:01:56,360 --> 03:02:03,740
Just see where we stay and on that first. Before I give up, that's my comfort level.

1342
03:02:04,500 --> 03:02:11,380
The other major part of the system is your air hammers, and we have a proposal to change the coils in them, not the actual shells.

1343
03:02:11,380 --> 03:02:16,580
It was a cost effective way of doing it since they're underground, they're very difficult to change.

1344
03:02:17,100 --> 03:02:18,840
Yeah, I want to know what it looks like to wake up tomorrow morning.

1345
03:02:18,860 --> 03:02:21,540
I have no problems with AC. What does that look like?

1346
03:02:21,660 --> 03:02:22,980
How much does that cost?

1347
03:02:23,680 --> 03:02:27,260
I don't want to nickel in dime this thing all the way for the next half or many years.

1348
03:02:27,420 --> 03:02:28,360
I'm hot right now.

1349
03:02:28,880 --> 03:02:33,320
I think the coil is a replacement there in the neighborhood of about 2 to 300,000 dollars.

1350
03:02:34,660 --> 03:02:44,120
I would personally like to see it all presented some type of quote, just a nice presentation just let us know exactly where we stand.

1351
03:02:44,680 --> 03:02:45,740
That's what will make me comfortable.

1352
03:02:46,440 --> 03:02:46,520
Thank you.

1353
03:02:47,320 --> 03:02:48,720
Yes, Mr. City Manager.

1354
03:02:49,620 --> 03:02:51,420
I'd like for you to make this clear.

1355
03:02:52,460 --> 03:02:55,320
We're proposing to replace the cooling towers.

1356
03:02:55,580 --> 03:02:58,380
Yes, if we replace the cooling towers now,

1357
03:02:58,380 --> 03:03:08,390
Will those cooling towers be a part of a new system should we move forward with the entire system so we need this cooling towers fix because

1358
03:03:09,820 --> 03:03:15,430
Our air is broken. We don't have air and city hall.

1359
03:03:16,970 --> 03:03:22,970
And if we delay, we will continue not to have heard his broken.

1360
03:03:23,370 --> 03:03:25,450
That's why we have come forward.

1361
03:03:25,930 --> 03:03:33,730
So the spend this money will be worthwhile because it will be a part of the new system.

1362
03:03:33,930 --> 03:03:35,430
So we can bring back that report.

1363
03:03:36,150 --> 03:03:42,750
But what's being proposed is that we do this part, which will be a part of the overall system.

1364
03:03:42,750 --> 03:03:48,150
should you? We don't have to put in new towers later if we put them in now.

1365
03:03:48,570 --> 03:03:50,350
Now, you're not wasting any money whatsoever.

1366
03:03:51,770 --> 03:03:52,750
I just want to third of the project.

1367
03:03:52,830 --> 03:03:56,490
I think that's the point we need to make clear where we are.

1368
03:03:59,270 --> 03:04:08,290
Now, how will it take to, for this process to complete it?

1369
03:04:12,890 --> 03:04:24,890
The price does include a temporary system to keep us cool until it is put in, so we will

1370
03:04:24,890 --> 03:04:31,650
get relief sooner than a month, we will get relief by this weekend because they can install

1371
03:04:31,650 --> 03:04:36,370
the temporary system by this weekend, so that by next week,

1372
03:04:39,550 --> 03:04:43,290
we have a number of employee concerns

1373
03:04:43,290 --> 03:04:49,750
being expressed as particularly starting today with this hot weather. So if we delay this

1374
03:04:49,750 --> 03:04:57,170
decision, we delay any relief. Upon issuing approval or whatever the appropriate means you guys

1375
03:04:57,170 --> 03:05:01,670
use, we could have temporary cloned hour and two to three days hooked up.

1376
03:05:04,460 --> 03:05:05,320
I have a question,

1377
03:05:08,090 --> 03:05:13,130
say that he's putting in the system. Is this system going to be his system?

1378
03:05:13,670 --> 03:05:18,450
All would there be other someone else that can work on this system in the future? Or is this

1379
03:05:18,450 --> 03:05:22,830
going to be just his system? Because I'm understanding now that the system we have is his,

1380
03:05:23,390 --> 03:05:29,050
which means if somebody comes in, they put in much, this is his system. So how does this

1381
03:05:30,110 --> 03:05:35,830
I'm just, you know, looking down, looking for the down the line.

1382
03:05:36,610 --> 03:05:38,130
How does this work?

1383
03:05:38,670 --> 03:05:42,130
As far as I'm, my understanding is yes, it is their system.

1384
03:05:42,170 --> 03:05:43,030
It is their system.

1385
03:05:43,590 --> 03:05:46,090
We could still have a contractor, a different contractor,

1386
03:05:46,350 --> 03:05:48,950
they would just have to purchase the materials and the parts

1387
03:05:49,670 --> 03:05:51,290
through jobs and controls.

1388
03:05:53,640 --> 03:05:56,580
Because it's, it's, it's, they're, it's, they're equipment.

1389
03:05:56,740 --> 03:05:57,740
It's like you've got the equipment.

1390
03:05:58,240 --> 03:05:59,120
It's very equipment.

1391
03:05:59,880 --> 03:06:02,180
I'm sorry, it's very quick meeting.

1392
03:06:02,640 --> 03:06:03,360
Is there a quick meeting?

1393
03:06:03,740 --> 03:06:03,780
Yes.

1394
03:06:04,080 --> 03:06:06,160
There are certain materials that they can do.

1395
03:06:06,160 --> 03:06:09,600
And so if you have to get parts and materials and everything you have to get them from them.

1396
03:06:12,460 --> 03:06:13,720
I'm just asking questions.

1397
03:06:14,000 --> 03:06:14,520
No problem.

1398
03:06:15,200 --> 03:06:18,120
So we decided we want to go with the whole system.

1399
03:06:18,340 --> 03:06:19,700
How do we do that?

1400
03:06:20,220 --> 03:06:21,560
Is there a way for us to do that?

1401
03:06:21,620 --> 03:06:22,620
Can we do that?

1402
03:06:26,280 --> 03:06:28,420
So basically, if you did a home new system,

1403
03:06:28,420 --> 03:06:31,480
But you could get a different company to do it.

1404
03:06:31,680 --> 03:06:33,880
You could get another company to service it.

1405
03:06:34,420 --> 03:06:37,300
They would just have to purchase for that tower, specifically.

1406
03:06:38,100 --> 03:06:42,880
They would just have to purchase of it any material equipment needed through Johnson County.

1407
03:06:42,880 --> 03:06:43,360
From Johnson.

1408
03:06:43,800 --> 03:06:44,060
Yes.

1409
03:06:44,460 --> 03:06:44,680
Okay.

1410
03:06:45,280 --> 03:06:46,540
I just want to make sure I want to say.

1411
03:06:47,080 --> 03:06:47,220
Okay.

1412
03:06:47,740 --> 03:06:49,220
Thank you.

1413
03:06:49,580 --> 03:06:56,520
Madam Mayor, I also noted that fairs in an agreement, a sole source agreement with the City

1414
03:06:56,520 --> 03:07:00,580
and Johnson control that was approved back in 2023.

1415
03:07:01,840 --> 03:07:03,320
So that's part of it.

1416
03:07:03,920 --> 03:07:07,840
So I understand that, I got it.

1417
03:07:09,360 --> 03:07:09,360
So

1418
03:07:11,530 --> 03:07:14,750
did anyone, did the council have any more questions?

1419
03:07:18,170 --> 03:07:19,130
Thank you for your time.

1420
03:07:19,770 --> 03:07:20,550
Thank you.

1421
03:07:31,110 --> 03:07:34,530
If there's any other questions from the council, it's a roll call.

1422
03:07:38,330 --> 03:07:38,830
Thank you, Mayor.

1423
03:07:39,210 --> 03:07:39,870
Member Duhar?

1424
03:07:40,130 --> 03:07:40,490
Yes.

1425
03:07:40,490 --> 03:07:50,210
member Spicer. Yes. Member Bowers. Yes. Member Jordan. Yes. And Mayor Sharif. Yes.

1426
03:07:54,390 --> 03:07:57,030
Number 10 is a resolution of the 30 points.

1427
03:07:58,930 --> 03:08:05,830
The staff is pulling item 10. We are pulling item 10. Thank you.

1428
03:08:06,250 --> 03:08:09,990
Okay. Just for clarification. Item number 9 is being pulled.

1429
03:08:12,570 --> 03:08:14,350
Number 10, I'm sorry.

1430
03:08:14,350 --> 03:08:15,110
Number 10, sorry.

1431
03:08:15,110 --> 03:08:15,490
I'm sorry.

1432
03:08:15,950 --> 03:08:17,170
Number 10.

1433
03:08:17,170 --> 03:08:17,230
Number 10.

1434
03:08:19,870 --> 03:08:22,010
Madam Mayor, we moved to Council comments.

1435
03:08:23,010 --> 03:08:23,750
Okay, thank you.

1436
03:08:23,970 --> 03:08:25,950
We'll start with Councilwoman from District 4.

1437
03:08:28,170 --> 03:08:29,070
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1438
03:08:29,910 --> 03:08:37,070
On Wednesday, July 15, I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Reopening and Ribbon Cutting

1439
03:08:37,070 --> 03:08:44,610
ceremony, celebrating the newly renovated offices of the community legal aid sold Southern

1440
03:08:44,610 --> 03:08:52,530

1441
03:08:52,530 --> 03:08:58,770
Cran's Avenue. Community legal aid sold Cal has maintained a presence in Comptum

1442
03:08:58,770 --> 03:09:06,270
is 1993 providing free and low-cost civil legal services to our residents.

1443
03:09:06,990 --> 03:09:14,050
Their work has included assistance with housing and tenant rights, family law matters, domestic

1444
03:09:14,050 --> 03:09:21,290
violence support, consumer protection, immigration related legal services, community legal

1445

education, and much more.

1446
03:09:23,190 --> 03:09:31,150
On Thursday, July the 16th, attended the swearing in ceremonies of Denzel Jordan Perry, who was

1447
03:09:31,150 --> 03:09:36,730
re-elected another term on the Company Unified School District Board of Trustees.

1448
03:09:37,810 --> 03:09:43,770
On Thursday, July the 16th, attended the returners' Compton Farmers' Luncheon.

On July the 18th, attended the Home-Gone Services for John Banks, a former employee of the

1450
03:09:52,390 --> 03:09:57,910

1453
03:10:09,970 --> 03:10:16,030
July 18, I attended the first anniversary of the Compton grocery outlet, not

1454
03:10:16,030 --> 03:10:19,010
on an operated by Gary and Captain Naylor.

1455
03:10:19,830 --> 03:10:23,890
This is such a fine store, complete with a truly fine

1456
03:10:23,890 --> 03:10:25,050
produce department.

1457
03:10:26,110 --> 03:10:30,010
How about a mattress only store taking over?

1458
03:10:31,130 --> 03:10:32,950
I'll, out of the business, right A,

1459
03:10:33,370 --> 03:10:36,590
I would not want to see the market attempt to complete,

1460
03:10:36,870 --> 03:10:38,810
compete with the grocery outlet.

1461
03:10:39,450 --> 03:10:43,770
On Saturday, July 25th, I am accordingly free,

1462

1464
03:11:00,870 --> 03:11:08,090
in acceptable items for shredding and electronic disposal is available on the community calendar

1465
03:11:08,090 --> 03:11:12,990
on the proc page of www.comptumcity.org.

1466
03:11:13,790 --> 03:11:21,950
Republic services also pick up all the bulky items and we are allowed six items per quarter.

1467
03:11:23,030 --> 03:11:31,110
Bucky items may include furniture, such as chairs, sofas, mattresses, and rug, as well as appliances

1470
03:11:46,250 --> 03:11:55,930
is 800-299-4898. I would also like to share this information as well. The last thing

1471
03:11:55,930 --> 03:12:02,970
this county household has it in electronic ways. Collection programs offers a free, convenient

1472
03:12:02,970 --> 03:12:09,090
way to responsibly dispose of items that don't belong in regular trash.

1473
03:12:09,830 --> 03:12:21,770
Website cleanla.la County.gov. I would like to also wish Ms.

1474
03:12:24,100 --> 03:12:25,360
Tommy Jane Williams

1475
03:12:25,360 --> 03:12:32,080
she celebrated her 90th birthday this past Sunday on the 19th. I attended that affair.

1476
03:12:32,080 --> 03:12:38,860
Also, former Patrick Stewart, former employee of the City of Compton, he celebrated a milestone

1477
03:12:38,860 --> 03:12:45,800
of birthday on Saturday and he and his wife, Jarvis, also celebrated the 50s wedding anniversary.

1478
03:12:47,800 --> 03:12:55,480
So happy birthday to Patrick and also Mrs. Williams and congratulations to Patrick and his wife

1479
03:12:55,480 --> 03:12:57,360
on the 50s wedding anniversary.

1480
03:12:58,580 --> 03:13:04,780
One of the persons doing their comments stated about cleaning our city.

1481
03:13:05,240 --> 03:13:11,400
So Mr. City manager, I know we had ordered a vacuum truck and it was approved in this

1482
03:13:11,400 --> 03:13:13,880
year as a budget, current budget.

1483
03:13:14,580 --> 03:13:21,740
So I would like to know if it is an audit already so that we can work hard to get our city

1484
03:13:22,460 --> 03:13:30,620
And I've been working hard on the welcome to come from sign for many years, especially in December

1485
03:13:30,620 --> 03:13:31,380
2023.

1486
03:13:31,780 --> 03:13:33,440
I've done a PowerPoint presentation.

1487
03:13:34,320 --> 03:13:41,560
So, let's work hard to go ahead and get these welcome to come from signs so we can make our city look better.

1488
03:13:41,800 --> 03:13:42,900
And we can and we will.

1489
03:13:43,720 --> 03:13:49,100
And finally, we are continuing the mayor and all of our colleagues.

1490
03:13:49,100 --> 03:13:53,200
We continue to build a better comp to thank you, Madam Mayor.

1491
03:13:55,520 --> 03:13:56,560
Councilman Bowers.

1492
03:13:58,040 --> 03:13:59,300
I'm sorry to start Mr. Grown.

1493
03:13:59,500 --> 03:14:04,940
What's the likelihood of us looking at the two right-aids for restaurants and the old home savings bank?

1494
03:14:05,020 --> 03:14:13,380
Along these boulevard that burned a few years ago to perhaps get somebody in there a nice restaurant or something like that.

1495
03:14:13,380 --> 03:14:22,880
just a suggestion. And also we have we begun advertising like cooling stations since the

1496
03:14:22,880 --> 03:14:27,980
weather is pretty hot. Do we? Is that in motion as well?

1497
03:14:30,970 --> 03:14:34,090
Okay. I like to begin with

1498
03:14:34,090 --> 03:14:38,370
community safety reminder whether you live in an apartment, community or single family,

1499
03:14:39,030 --> 03:14:43,830
neighborhood, public safety is a shared responsibility property owners, management

1500
03:14:43,830 --> 03:14:49,970
companies and residents all play an important role in ensuring exterior lighting is

1501
03:14:49,970 --> 03:14:52,610
working, gates and lots of functioning properly.

1502
03:14:53,370 --> 03:14:57,710
Surveillance cameras are maintained and safety concerns are communicated and addressed.

1503
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:06,440
It's simple but effective measures to help create safer neighborhoods and improve the quality

1504
03:15:06,440 --> 03:15:14,040
of life throughout our city. This Saturday, July 23, at the Compton, the Compton Human

1505
03:15:14,040 --> 03:15:20,760
Trafficking Task Force will reconvene at the dollar-high community center from 1 PM to 3 PM.

1506
03:15:21,000 --> 03:15:27,000
That's July 23, Thursday to 23. This collaborative effort brings together city leaders,

1507
03:15:27,000 --> 03:15:33,780
service providers, educators, faith organizations, survivor, leaders, and public safety partners

1508
03:15:33,780 --> 03:15:39,120
who strengthen prevention efforts, support survivors, and continue building a coordinated

1509
03:15:39,120 --> 03:15:40,520
response to human trafficking.

1510
03:15:41,400 --> 03:15:46,480
Thank you, restoration, disversion, services, and everyone committed to this important work.

1511
03:15:47,240 --> 03:15:53,360
One of the most important conservation conversations happening right now is how we move forward

1512
03:15:53,360 --> 03:15:57,380
together following the tragic events over the 4th of July weekend.

1513
03:15:58,340 --> 03:16:02,480
We're working with residents, Assemblymember Mike Gibson's office, property representatives,

1514
03:16:02,800 --> 03:16:06,480
community organizations, and local partners to organize a public community meeting.

1515
03:16:06,980 --> 03:16:12,140
The goal is to bring everyone together to answer questions, discuss safety, strategies,

1516
03:16:13,080 --> 03:16:18,440
hear directly from residents and identify both immediate and long-term solutions that strengthen

1517
03:16:18,440 --> 03:16:20,260
public safety throughout our city.

1518
03:16:21,220 --> 03:16:25,260
additional information will be shared once the plans are finalized.

1519
03:16:26,240 --> 03:16:30,360
Last week I had opportunity to participate in the Botswana delegation tour,

1520
03:16:30,500 --> 03:16:35,400
highlighting the proposed nation's Plaza project and other regional destinations.

1521
03:16:36,180 --> 03:16:40,120
It was a valuable opportunity to see how cultural tourism, community investment

1522
03:16:40,120 --> 03:16:43,880
and regional partnerships can work together to create destinations

1523
03:16:43,880 --> 03:16:48,460
that attract visitors while enhancing the quality of life for our residents.

1524
03:16:48,460 --> 03:16:55,920
As Compton prepares for opportunities surrounding the 28 Olympic Games, and beyond, I remain committed to supporting

1525
03:16:55,920 --> 03:17:02,340
conversations and partnerships that help position our city for a long-term economic growth, increase tourism,

1526
03:17:02,920 --> 03:17:07,460
and thoughtful improvements to make Compton an even better place to live, work, and visit.

1527
03:17:08,220 --> 03:17:12,240
I also want to recognize everyone who participated in Saturday's Community Cleanup.

1528
03:17:12,240 --> 03:17:18,040
Thank you, bright light to Compton, the Compton Initiative, Navigators, our community volunteers,

1529
03:17:18,880 --> 03:17:22,600

1530
03:17:22,600 --> 03:17:26,500
for investing your time and energy into beautifying our neighborhoods.

1531
03:17:27,260 --> 03:17:31,860
Your efforts continue to demonstrate what we can accomplish when we work together.

1532
03:17:32,420 --> 03:17:36,980
Finally, I'd like to recognize the young people participating in the Compton Initiative's

1533
03:17:36,980 --> 03:17:39,000
Summer Internship Service Project.

1534
03:17:39,000 --> 03:17:43,340
Thank you for choosing to spend part of your summer, giving back to your community.

1535
03:17:44,020 --> 03:17:48,140
Residents, thank you for staying engaged, staying informed, and continuing to be a part of the

1536
03:17:48,140 --> 03:17:51,860
conversation as we work together to build a safer, stronger, more connected content.

1537
03:17:52,320 --> 03:17:52,960
Thank you.

1538
03:17:53,940 --> 03:17:54,740
Councilman Spicer.

1539
03:17:57,980 --> 03:17:59,140
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1540
03:18:00,080 --> 03:18:06,080
On this Saturday, excuse me, the Hope City Autism Network will be hosting the Hub,

1541
03:18:08,140 --> 03:18:12,840
This will be a three day event at taking place at Looters Park.

1542
03:18:13,120 --> 03:18:17,820

03:18:30,600 --> 03:18:37,020
And it is a dope participation required inside the pool if you do bring your child.

1548
03:18:37,240 --> 03:18:43,240
Again, that is going to be this Saturday and the next three Saturdays, this Saturday August 1, August 8,

college is on Saturday, August 8th.

1557
03:19:35,300 --> 03:19:39,860
My office will be hosting the second annual free dental and free vision event.

1558
03:19:40,280 --> 03:19:40,960
That's your research.

1559
03:19:41,340 --> 03:19:46,380
We're about 200 residents with dental or vision services.

1560
03:19:47,760 --> 03:19:56,600
This is extractions, fillings, and more for the dental as far as the vision.

they are giving out free glasses, there's free eye exams and more. Again, this is going to

1567
03:20:28,590 --> 03:20:36,190
Before I continue, I'd first like to apologize to Councilman Bowers for interrupting him when he was given his comments.

1568
03:20:36,810 --> 03:20:41,490
That is totally out of my character and I do hope that you accept my apology.

1569
03:20:42,870 --> 03:20:49,250
Last Monday, my office at the pleasure of attending the grand reopening of Serenity, Senior Homes.

1573
03:21:08,850 --> 03:21:11,630
comfortable and supportive place to call home.

03:22:26,690 --> 03:22:46,090
I would like to thank Gary and Kathy Naylor for their commitment to our community and for stepping up to help ensure that the residents of Compton have continued access to fresh affordable groceries from a locally owned and independently operated neighborhood market.

1586

1611
03:25:08,660 --> 03:25:12,980
to support our residents and continue moving, come to and forward.

1612
03:25:15,650 --> 03:25:21,970
The Discovery Head Start Center, this is a really center, I think, would be great for people to go by.

1613
03:25:22,590 --> 03:25:29,370
It just really take a look at it because it's a really beautiful building, and they join great work there with our young,

1614
03:25:29,370 --> 03:25:36,810
Children are starting from 0 to 3, 3 months old, so it's really a really nice facility.

1615
03:25:37,710 --> 03:25:42,990
Our community resource I would like to share is the new Discovery Head Start Center,

1616
03:25:43,830 --> 03:25:49,390
which I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening for on July 13th.

1617
03:25:49,550 --> 03:25:58,210
This new facility located at 1330 staff Long Beach Boulevard provides early head start services for children ages 0 to 3 months.

1618
03:25:59,170 --> 03:26:11,590

1620
03:26:23,040 --> 03:26:32,800

1639
03:28:30,120 --> 03:28:34,960
I also want to reassure our senior community that this program would not interrupt any

1640
03:28:34,960 --> 03:28:39,680
regularly scheduled senior activities at the Dahlah High Communities Center.

1641
03:28:47,420 --> 03:28:49,700
And Mr. City Manager, I would like to request

1642
03:28:49,700 --> 03:28:52,600
presentations regarding the city's current process

1643
03:28:52,600 --> 03:28:56,000
for organizations wishing to host community events.

1644
03:28:56,920 --> 03:28:59,700
And this past weekend, it was brought to my attention

1645
03:28:59,700 --> 03:29:03,480
that the Compton Museum received a ceasefire, a cease-end

1646
03:29:03,480 --> 03:29:06,620
and a cease order just two days before it planned

1647
03:29:06,620 --> 03:29:08,740
the Compton Red Rodeo event.

1648
03:29:08,740 --> 03:29:12,520
Do we have prevent similar situations in the future?

1649
03:29:12,760 --> 03:29:18,020
I respectfully request that the appropriate department return at our next council meeting

1650
03:29:18,020 --> 03:29:22,540
with the presentation outlined in the required permits and documentations needed to

1651
03:29:22,540 --> 03:29:23,900
host a community event.

1652
03:29:24,740 --> 03:29:31,320
Because it's obviously some of our residents do not know what those are, what the requirements

1653
03:29:31,320 --> 03:29:31,760
are.

1654
03:29:31,760 --> 03:29:39,840
The timeline for submitting applications, push Department overseas the approval process and best

1655
03:29:39,840 --> 03:29:44,240
practices organization should follow to remain in compliance.

1656
03:29:45,000 --> 03:29:50,280
Additionally, I would appreciate clarification regarding this specific situation, including

1657
03:29:50,280 --> 03:29:57,000
when COVID enforcement first became aware of the event, whether chimps were made to work with

1658
03:29:57,000 --> 03:29:58,500
organizers to serve.

1659
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:06,500
I have any issues and why the decision to cancel the event occurred only two days before it was scheduled.

1660
03:30:07,280 --> 03:30:16,080
My goal is to ensure that moving forward, every organization has a clear understanding of the city's process and adequate time to address any concerns.

1661
03:30:23,460 --> 03:30:24,460
I need a motion to adjourn.

1662
03:30:25,080 --> 03:30:33,920
Madam Mayor, before we adjourn, last week I asked the city clerk to provide us with a list of all of the commissions,

1663
03:30:34,580 --> 03:30:43,100
who's on those commissions and who put them on the commission so can make sure that we have that next week.

1664
03:30:43,540 --> 03:30:43,900
Thank you.

1665
03:30:44,120 --> 03:30:44,920
Thank you.

1666
03:30:45,700 --> 03:30:46,180
So moved.

1667
03:30:47,680 --> 03:30:48,200

1668
03:30:48,300 --> 03:30:48,860
Second.

1669
03:30:49,260 --> 03:30:50,020
Thank you, Madam.

1670
03:30:50,420 --> 03:30:51,420
Say the car girl call.

1671
03:30:52,060 --> 03:30:52,660
Thank you, Madam.

1672
03:30:52,940 --> 03:30:53,500
