1
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:32,260
>> We're going to begin just
one minute, please. Thank you. Good afternoon.

2
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:13,440
The September 15th, 2026, 4th,
PM regular meeting

3
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,460
of the Coronado City Council is
called to order.

4
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:17,120
I apologize for being a little
bit late.

5
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,100
Clerk please call the roll.

6
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:20,500
>> Let the record reflect that
all council members

7
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:22,000
and agency members are present.

8
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,040
>> Thank you before we begin I
want to announce that

9
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,420
our special closed session
meeting that took place today.

10
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920
at three o'clock,
has no public report out.

11
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:32,780
In the future,
when we have a report out, we will

12
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:35,380
give it at the beginning of our
regular city council meetings.

13
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,220
So we will begin today with the
Pledge of Allegiance.

14
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:44,380
Please stand if you would like
for the pledge. Thank you. begin.

15
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:48,570
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United

16
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:52,110
States of America and to the
Republic for which it

17
00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:56,470
stands one nation under God
indivisible with

18
00:01:56,470 --> 00:02:02,470
liberty and justice for all.
Thank you everyone.

19
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:04,890
We're going to begin today with
item three on our

20
00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:08,770
agenda,
which is the Nazni Swift Lane program update.

21
00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:11,850
I'd like to invite Captain and
our CEO, Lauren

22
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:15,590
Jacobi,
to provide a presentation. Thank you. Good afternoon, sir.

23
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:20,390
>> Good afternoon, sir.
And thank you very much, Mayor and City Council

24
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:21,730
Members,
for having me out today.

25
00:02:21,730 --> 00:02:23,570
It's a real pleasure to come up
and see everybody.

26
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:26,070
Our time together is coming to
a close.

27
00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:27,630
This is my change of command.

28
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:29,130
We'll be coming up on December
10th.

29
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:32,190
So more to follow,
but there'll be invitations to come, for sure.

30
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:34,590
So I want to spend a couple of
moments and talk

31
00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:37,110
about the Swift Lane,
the Biometric Swift Lane

32
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:39,730
program that we have going on
here at North Island.

33
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:42,770
So there's been much public
comment lately, and so

34
00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:44,370
I want to have an opportunity
to tell you what's going on

35
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:47,670
exactly where we sit with this
program, the pros

36
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:53,670
and some of the growth areas,
and what we see is the future. So slide please. Oh, yeah, sorry.

37
00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:56,870
You told me that beforehand,
so thank you. Okay.

38
00:02:57,770 --> 00:02:59,370
All right,
so this is really a traffic reduction.

39
00:02:59,390 --> 00:03:01,610
effort,
one of three that we have in North Island.

40
00:03:01,950 --> 00:03:05,030
So we use the TIP program,
the Transportation

41
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:07,570
Center program,
and that's to increase van pool

42
00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:09,710
and public transportation use,
and we've certainly

43
00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:12,030
seen some positive impact from
that program.

44
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:15,410
We also,
we received the Sandeg Plaza Tier Diamond

45
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:20,370
Award in 2025 and 2026 for
sustainable transportation solutions.

46
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:23,350
So those are things that I
would say get around

47
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:25,910
the edges of some of the
challenges with

48
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:28,270
transportation on the base on
North Island.

49
00:03:28,510 --> 00:03:30,750
But you know the real things
that we need to do is

50
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:33,990
increase efficient and safe
throughput at the gates.

51
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:37,230
So the Biometric Swift Lane
Pilot Program is an

52
00:03:37,230 --> 00:03:39,550
innovation program that's
designed to do just that.

53
00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:42,550
But I want to give you some
background on how we

54
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:44,050
got here and where we're going.

55
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:48,090
So this was not a big Navy like
research, like,

56
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:50,990
you know, program of record,
you know, that has,

57
00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:53,310
you know,
decades of development behind it.

58
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:57,090
So this was a swift moving
pilot program

59
00:03:57,090 --> 00:03:59,370
originally started through the
Defense Innovation Commission.

60
00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:01,130
unit and then transition to
Naval Act.

61
00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:03,790
So those are kind of the Navy's
Innovation Centers.

62
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:06,970
They provide, you know,
seed money for innovative

63
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:08,470
efforts across the Navy.

64
00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:12,070
So I would call us a fail-fast
innovation effort.

65
00:04:13,050 --> 00:04:14,390
So not being a mature program.

66
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:16,930
And so if we're going to,
you know, if we were to

67
00:04:16,930 --> 00:04:19,310
wait for six, eight,
ten years for the Navy to

68
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:21,930
like fund this program, right,
chances are along

69
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:23,930
the way, like those tens of,
those programs tend

70
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:26,410
to get cut, right,
and not actually produce outcomes.

71
00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:29,370
So we elected to jump on the
train, to try to go.

72
00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:31,830
to address concerns that people
have had within

73
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:34,550
the community for decades about
traffic.

74
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:37,830
So the enrollment is open to
anyone with the base access.

75
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:39,250
So I get this question a lot.

76
00:04:39,250 --> 00:04:43,890
So that's active duty,
civil service, dependents, retirees, veterans, contractors.

77
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:46,970
So anybody that can get into
the base has the

78
00:04:46,970 --> 00:04:48,470
option to use this program.

79
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:52,630
So what we found is that the
access is about twice

80
00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:56,950
as fast as what I'll call a
legacy lane, so an ID card scan lane.

81
00:04:57,690 --> 00:04:59,370
So the numbers are about 600
cards.

82
00:04:59,390 --> 00:05:02,890
cars per hour through the Swift
Lane and about 325

83
00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:04,810
if you're rolling down the
window stopping the car

84
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:05,970
and scanning the ID.

85
00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:08,190
So that's a great outcome.

86
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:14,950
Right now there's four lanes of
10 lanes that are using the biometrics. Swift Lane.

87
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,110
So it's not a huge program.

88
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:18,950
I think people see that front
gate and they see

89
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:21,970
four of those main lanes but
the all the lanes at

90
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:24,510
Ocean Gate and Carrier Gate you
know are available

91
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:26,010
to let cars in.

92
00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:29,370
So only 40% of our lanes are
dedicated to this program right now.

93
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:31,390
So that's during the peak
traffic times, 4 of 10.

94
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:34,750
So the main gate,
this is how it works.

95
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:35,730
And this is a picture here.

96
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:39,650
So the lanes are labeled 1 to
5, left to right.

97
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:42,670
So the first lane, lane 1,
that's the one that's

98
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:44,930
dedicated to legacy ID cards.
scans, right?

99
00:05:45,610 --> 00:05:48,810
So two through five are the
ones that are dedicated to biometrics.

100
00:05:49,730 --> 00:05:51,930
As you drive up,
the facial recognition software

101
00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:54,210
matches with what's called our
DBIT systems.

102
00:05:54,410 --> 00:05:56,470
So that's the system that says,
yes, this person

103
00:05:56,470 --> 00:05:58,610
has a valid ID card,
he gets access.

104
00:05:59,390 --> 00:06:01,570
drop arm will automatically
raise and the vehicle

105
00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:02,970
does not have to stop.

106
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:04,910
So what we tell people is
travel about five miles

107
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:06,410
an hour and don't tailgate.

108
00:06:06,610 --> 00:06:08,070
And then as long as the gate's
up, you can

109
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:09,570
continue on through,
which is great.

110
00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:12,590
And then the security forces
that man the gate

111
00:06:12,590 --> 00:06:14,370
will turn around drivers and
passengers.

112
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:15,950
you're not if you're not
enrolled.

113
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:18,130
So you know we're enforcing
that and I'll talk a

114
00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:19,630
little bit about why we're
doing that.

115
00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:22,190
But one of the common things
that we get is that

116
00:06:22,190 --> 00:06:24,830
you know people see those those
lanes are open and

117
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:27,450
you know they're frustrated
because lane one is is

118
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:30,430
full that's because lanes two
through five are moving so quickly.

119
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:33,330
They're processing traffic
much, much faster that

120
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:34,830
we have under the legacy system.

121
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:38,350
So it's high efficiency,
and one of the big

122
00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:42,710
takeaways for the Navy is that,
you know, we can save manpower, right?

123
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:44,390
So in the legacy...

124
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:47,450
Legacy a year ago,
every morning at that main

125
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:49,730
gate,
we were putting 15 sailors out there to

126
00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:51,590
check IDs and to maintain
security.

127
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:54,270
In the future,
it looks like we're going to be

128
00:06:54,270 --> 00:06:56,550
able to do that same work with
only three sailors.

129
00:06:56,830 --> 00:06:59,370
So one, check and IDs,
and then two.

130
00:06:59,390 --> 00:07:02,170
one sailor for two swift lanes
so lanes two and

131
00:07:02,170 --> 00:07:04,610
three will have one sailor
lanes four and five

132
00:07:04,610 --> 00:07:07,430
we'll have one sailor and so
that that will enable

133
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:10,530
us to save money but also for
the members of the

134
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:13,010
public and also for sailors
they're going to be

135
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:14,590
getting through faster so it's
kind of a a

136
00:07:14,590 --> 00:07:17,770
win-win,
but certainly the Navy Installations

137
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:20,110
Command is really interested
in, you know, the

138
00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:21,610
savings that they get.

139
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:25,970
So one of the common questions
I get is, well, how

140
00:07:25,970 --> 00:07:30,290
can we're not, you know,
offering backup ID card scanning at those? biometric lanes.

141
00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:33,950
Well,
because one of the key enablers for this is manpower savings.

142
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:36,830
If I have to put one sailor at
every lane to scan

143
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:39,910
IDs as a backup,
then you lose that manpower savings.

144
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:42,410
So as part of this pilot
program, I'm trying to,

145
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:45,410
we're trying to develop the the
procedures and

146
00:07:45,410 --> 00:07:48,910
make sure that you know we can
safely execute this with manpower savings.

147
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:51,690
The big takeaway obviously for
members of the

148
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:53,810
community and our sailors is
that time savings.

149
00:07:54,490 --> 00:07:57,150
So just for an example looking
at the data it

150
00:07:57,150 --> 00:07:59,710
takes about 12 to 14 seconds
per car for somebody

151
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:02,910
to drive up,
roll down their window, and then get going again.

152
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,930
If we have two centuries per
lane, it takes about

153
00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:07,430
8 to 10 seconds.

154
00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:09,650
Interestingly,
we found that if we have three

155
00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:12,790
centuries lined up at each
lane, it takes about 10% longer.

156
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:14,390
So we found that what we had to
do is that is,

157
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:16,170
been doing in the past was
actually causing us to

158
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:17,970
slow down,
which is a little bit counterintuitive.

159
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:20,550
The biometrics,
you can see there, down to about

160
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:23,490
six seconds per car, so really,
really quick.

161
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:25,970
And the data collection that
we're doing, we have

162
00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:29,730
a rich body of data here,
about 250 scans last week month.

163
00:08:30,450 --> 00:08:33,290
So that allows us to
continuously look at the data and improve.

164
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:36,870
So how to enroll you can go to
the North Island

165
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:39,390
Visitor Center and I put a
there's a link in here

166
00:08:39,390 --> 00:08:40,890
if you want to go directly to
that.

167
00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:43,950
Seven o'clock in the morning
till 3.30 during hot

168
00:08:43,950 --> 00:08:44,390
weather we don't want to.

169
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:45,670
don't have air conditioning
that building.

170
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:47,070
I know it's a problem.

171
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:48,570
But we've had to truncate the
hours a little bit,

172
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:50,350
but it looks hopefully like
we're past that.

173
00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:53,330
The first and third weekends of
the month we are

174
00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:56,250
open from 11 to 4 on Saturday
and Sunday.

175
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:59,370
No appointment necessary in two
minutes of processing time.

176
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:02,590
So you walk in and grab that
for any person that's

177
00:09:02,590 --> 00:09:03,630
authorized to come on the base.

178
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:05,130
So we made it pretty easy.

179
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:07,270
For the commands and just,
you know, counsel for

180
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:10,630
your awareness,
we do schedule meetings with the command.

181
00:09:10,810 --> 00:09:12,890
So they invite us to come out
to the aircraft carrier.

182
00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:14,390
We'll come out on site with an
IPA.

183
00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:16,450
and register folks in mass.

184
00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:17,950
We are actually looking as the
Abraham Lincoln

185
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:20,010
comes back,
we're sending the iPad out there.

186
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:23,330
So when those sailors come
back, we're going to be

187
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:24,150
able to do that right away.

188
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:25,970
And as the families come in for
the return to home

189
00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:28,190
port celebration,
we'll have it there so we can

190
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:29,650
register folks on site.

191
00:09:29,650 --> 00:09:31,990
All you need to bring is your
smiling face and

192
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:34,130
your access card or your debits
card.

193
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:35,910
So a pretty easy process.

194
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:38,570
We've made it really smooth and
really slick.

195
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,690
If you have minors,
I get this question a lot.

196
00:09:42,690 --> 00:09:44,370
There's a pre- and right.

197
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:47,290
portal that you can go to,
you'll get a QR code,

198
00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:49,270
you email it to the website
that's listed here,

199
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:51,870
and then all you got to do is
drop by the visitor center.

200
00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:53,670
That only take it two minutes.

201
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:56,150
If you want to take a little
bit longer, you can

202
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:56,930
show up on site.

203
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,370
All you need is the social
security number and we'll get your...

204
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:02,230
your child in there and
register them on site.

205
00:10:02,430 --> 00:10:03,790
That will take you all the five
minutes, so it's

206
00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:05,890
still a pretty efficient and
fast process.

207
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:09,450
Okay,
so some of the limitations, it's not perfect.

208
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:11,650
Like I talked about it,
is a pilot innovation program.

209
00:10:12,010 --> 00:10:14,130
There are still things that
we're working on, and we acknowledge that.

210
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:18,150
So every person in the vehicle
needs to be enrolled.

211
00:10:18,450 --> 00:10:21,390
So with your typical military
ID card, you have an escort privilege.

212
00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:23,590
Anybody in your car can get in
with you escorting them.

213
00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:26,130
That is not yet enabled,
which is a high priority

214
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:28,410
for us to get that enabled.

215
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:29,390
So we know that's the case.

216
00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:31,650
a limiting factor and we're
working on that.

217
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:34,530
In purchase and registration,
I would love to use

218
00:10:34,530 --> 00:10:36,270
the pictures already on your ID
card.

219
00:10:37,410 --> 00:10:39,170
There's a bunch of system and
policy limitations.

220
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:42,090
We've solved one of the policy
limitations and now

221
00:10:42,090 --> 00:10:44,550
we need to do some
experimentation to see if the

222
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:46,690
pictures on the ID card are
actually of sufficient

223
00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:50,310
quality to allow current state
of the art

224
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:51,990
biometric systems to be used.

225
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:54,570
But that would mean that we
wouldn't need people

226
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:57,050
to enroll,
they would just be automatically enrolled.

227
00:10:57,310 --> 00:10:59,370
So that is a big growth area
and that will be our focus on.

228
00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:00,890
for the next phase.

229
00:11:01,710 --> 00:11:03,210
Also not effective for
motorcycle riders.

230
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:05,070
Most motorcycle riders have a
you know just a

231
00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:07,110
little cut out in their helmet
but that that's

232
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:08,790
something we'd like to
experiment with and see if

233
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:12,210
it's possible to make that
biometric system work

234
00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:13,710
with motorcycle riders in the
future.

235
00:11:14,390 --> 00:11:17,370
>> No quick.
Did you have a question? Councilmember I did.

236
00:11:18,050 --> 00:11:21,570
>> One question one statement
for I became recently

237
00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:25,250
aware that we have a lot of
Taxicrab drivers or

238
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:27,470
Uber drivers that get special
privileges that go

239
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:29,730
register are they able to
register for this or no

240
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:31,430
because they don't have real
cat cards?

241
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:33,530
>> They would be. Yeah.

242
00:11:33,630 --> 00:11:35,230
So anybody that has like a
debits card?

243
00:11:35,730 --> 00:11:37,310
So debits cards is not real cat
cards.

244
00:11:37,470 --> 00:11:38,970
Anybody with base access, right?

245
00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:41,510
So even like caregivers,
we will give.

246
00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:43,650
So if you love in the base,
you have a family, and

247
00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:44,870
you're like, hey, I've got a...

248
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:47,550
babysitter or after hours like
caregiver and they

249
00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:49,250
get a year-long pass they go
through the same

250
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:51,090
background check but they will
get a card that

251
00:11:51,090 --> 00:11:54,490
looks like a cat card flip
sideways yep and and

252
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:56,830
and they'll have the same
barcode and everything

253
00:11:56,830 --> 00:11:59,990
and access limitations that
they're they can do,

254
00:12:00,590 --> 00:12:04,510
but yes,
they can still come and utilize the same system. Great question. Thank you.

255
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:06,310
That's the first time I've got
that question.

256
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:08,710
That's a good one.
Thank you both.

257
00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:12,170
Okay,
so we know that there are limitations and

258
00:12:12,170 --> 00:12:14,250
we've cued this up for software
and hardware upgrades.

259
00:12:14,390 --> 00:12:15,890
and we are fighting for more
dollars.

260
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:18,110
But the more success we show,
the more money we're going to get.

261
00:12:19,730 --> 00:12:21,230
OK, so challenges in next steps.

262
00:12:21,690 --> 00:12:23,310
So expanding enrollment is a
challenge.

263
00:12:23,530 --> 00:12:25,890
So I think,
and this has been part of the public

264
00:12:25,890 --> 00:12:28,990
feedback that I've got,
there's a lot of people that are enrolled.

265
00:12:29,390 --> 00:12:31,190
So they're kind of queuing up
there and they're

266
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:34,550
going to that first lane and
it's creating a backlog.

267
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:37,390
So I am doing all hands, press.

268
00:12:37,550 --> 00:12:41,150
I just sent a note to all the
COs to really

269
00:12:41,150 --> 00:12:44,370
strongly encourage them to have
all their people enroll.

270
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:47,350
So I don't,
I'm not in operational control or

271
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:49,150
administrative control of most
of the people on my

272
00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:51,790
base,
except for the people assigned specifically to my staff.

273
00:12:52,450 --> 00:12:55,530
So I've told all my staff that
belong to the base

274
00:12:55,530 --> 00:12:57,030
that they're going to get
enrolled.

275
00:12:57,050 --> 00:12:57,990
So I've done that.

276
00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:59,390
I've encouraged the other
commanding operations.

277
00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:03,070
officers to make that same
expectation for the

278
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:05,350
civil service personnel and
their sailors.

279
00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:07,830
I can't force them to do that
but I've highly

280
00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:09,330
encouraged them to do that.

281
00:13:09,470 --> 00:13:11,570
We're looking at what other
elements that I can do

282
00:13:11,570 --> 00:13:14,010
legally to drive more people to
enroll.

283
00:13:14,390 --> 00:13:16,570
But we have seen a significant
uptick in

284
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:18,970
enrollment because people are
seeing the lines of

285
00:13:18,970 --> 00:13:21,150
the backup on that first lane
and they're seeing

286
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:23,670
everybody else Like roll
through so we're seeing

287
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:26,050
an uptick and I think this is
you know some of the

288
00:13:26,050 --> 00:13:28,870
challenges are just adapting to
a new system So I

289
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:31,730
do expect that the amount of
traffic in that first

290
00:13:31,730 --> 00:13:35,410
lane will decrease
significantly. Also late merging.

291
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:38,170
So many folks are waiting until
the very, very end game.

292
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:40,470
The way is almost Alameda and
then trying to crush

293
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:44,010
into that first lane,
especially when we went down

294
00:13:44,010 --> 00:13:44,390
to, you know, the first lane.

295
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,950
you know,
only one lane at the main gate of ID card checking.

296
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:49,890
There were a lot of people that
did get the word.

297
00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:51,730
It's hard to communicate with
people sometimes.

298
00:13:52,930 --> 00:13:54,430
And so that was a problem.

299
00:13:54,490 --> 00:13:56,370
We've seen less of a problem
now that we've had a

300
00:13:56,370 --> 00:13:58,750
few days of that kind of coming
through the system.

301
00:13:59,390 --> 00:14:01,750
You know,
I go out there every morning and I watch

302
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:05,090
the behavior of people and it
is getting better.

303
00:14:05,330 --> 00:14:07,370
Some folks who are not enrolled
and don't want to

304
00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:10,070
enroll have started going to
Ocean Gate and Carrier Gate now.

305
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:11,770
So that is helpful.

306
00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:14,170
So I'm hopeful that some of the
issues that we

307
00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:14,390
that we talk about.

308
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:17,550
we saw last week are probably
going to help.

309
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:20,430
Last Wednesday was a big
traffic day, but I will

310
00:14:20,430 --> 00:14:26,330
say that there was two
accidents on top of the big enforcement day.

311
00:14:26,590 --> 00:14:29,370
So I think the data for last
Wednesday was a little bit dirty.

312
00:14:29,850 --> 00:14:31,850
Just because we had so many
other things happening

313
00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:32,790
at the same time.

314
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:34,410
But I think a lot of people
were kind of blaming

315
00:14:34,410 --> 00:14:36,230
that on the Swift Lane.

316
00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:39,170
I'm not sure the 10% increase,
you know, of Swift

317
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,390
Lane Gates was the real cause
of that.

318
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:43,450
I think there were a lot of
things that played into it.

319
00:14:43,630 --> 00:14:45,430
So, in fact,
And certainly I think we have better

320
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:48,210
data in the last few days of
runtime that we've had.

321
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:54,830
So like I said,
the use of existing database ID

322
00:14:54,830 --> 00:14:59,370
card photos would allow us to
not have that in-person registration requirement. So that's a...

323
00:14:59,390 --> 00:15:01,130
a huge focus for us.

324
00:15:01,310 --> 00:15:03,690
If we can get that process,
then nobody has to

325
00:15:03,690 --> 00:15:05,650
physically come in and enroll,
which will

326
00:15:05,650 --> 00:15:08,210
automatically increase
compliance, I think, with

327
00:15:08,210 --> 00:15:10,570
my desire and make this go a
little bit more smooth.

328
00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:14,730
The escorting privileges and
motorcycle that's

329
00:15:14,730 --> 00:15:16,390
just more things that will
smooth this out.

330
00:15:17,210 --> 00:15:19,770
And then we've had a couple
times where the system has gone down.

331
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:23,110
So there's a bunch of
dependencies here with, you

332
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:25,370
know,
the NIMI security database called debits.

333
00:15:25,770 --> 00:15:28,190
Anytime that crashes,
we can't use Swift Lane, so

334
00:15:28,190 --> 00:15:30,410
that creates a little bit
confusion sometimes we

335
00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:33,970
made collapsible signs so that
the signs can kind

336
00:15:33,970 --> 00:15:35,470
of taco in so you can't read
them.

337
00:15:36,130 --> 00:15:38,270
So when the Swift Lane is not
in function then

338
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:40,190
we'll close the Swift Lane
signs and that's the

339
00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:42,330
indication visual indication
that it's open to

340
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:44,890
everybody and we also send our
at-home which is

341
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:47,670
our text message based system
to let folks know

342
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:51,090
that we're not using the Swift
Lane right now.

343
00:15:51,410 --> 00:15:53,130
It's been pretty reliable,
but you know that's

344
00:15:53,130 --> 00:15:55,490
something that we always want
to strive for is higher reliability.

345
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:58,490
Actually, I will go back.

346
00:15:58,490 --> 00:15:59,370
So one thing I will talk
about...

347
00:15:59,370 --> 00:16:03,590
an issue for reliability is
this system is over 90% reliable.

348
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,270
Like I even took some leave and
I had a, you know,

349
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:08,550
grew a beard and I kept my
glasses on with purpose

350
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,470
and I was still able to go
through and recognize me.

351
00:16:10,990 --> 00:16:12,530
So folks,
if they're complaining that they're not

352
00:16:12,530 --> 00:16:14,650
being seen by the system or not
not being

353
00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:16,590
recognized,
then please have them come in to the

354
00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:18,950
visitor center because there's
something wrong there.

355
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:21,170
I mean, the system works very,
very reliably.

356
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:23,470
If you get a new ID card,
we do need to re-scan

357
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:25,910
you into the system,
but if people are seeing

358
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:28,230
issues where they're not being
recognized, that is not normal.

359
00:16:28,730 --> 00:16:29,370
The system is very reliable.

360
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:31,230
very very high fidelity and
highly reliable.

361
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:33,810
So something's going on,
we'll pull the data logs

362
00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:35,530
and we'll fix the glitch, 100%.

363
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,590
With that,
those are my main talking points.

364
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:40,690
I wanted, you know,
really to let the council know

365
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:42,190
that this has our attention.

366
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:43,710
You know,
I want to acknowledge that there's been,

367
00:16:44,070 --> 00:16:44,370
you know, having to do that.

368
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,010
hasn't gone 100% you know
smoothly that's a little

369
00:16:47,010 --> 00:16:48,850
bit expected you know when you
have a

370
00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:52,950
developmental system if this
doesn't work if this

371
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:56,670
system you know fails you know
and loses funding

372
00:16:56,670 --> 00:16:58,670
then really you know frankly
ladies and gentlemen

373
00:16:58,670 --> 00:17:00,890
like we're going to go back to
to where we have been for decades.

374
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:04,630
And so, you know,
we want to go all in and do as

375
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:07,290
much as we can to develop the
system to address

376
00:17:07,290 --> 00:17:09,930
the concerns that the members
of Coronado have had

377
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:11,810
for, you know,
really for decades about traffic.

378
00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:14,270
So this is the innovative
process to get us there.

379
00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:16,230
and there's going to be some
learning along the

380
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:18,530
way and I'm excited to partner
with the city to

381
00:17:18,530 --> 00:17:20,030
kind of keep this innovation
going.

382
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:21,930
So pending any questions that
you might have for

383
00:17:21,930 --> 00:17:24,150
me I'd love to take your...
Councilmember Stewart.

384
00:17:25,610 --> 00:17:29,350
>> For the public,
if you have to get a new ID, you have a...

385
00:17:29,370 --> 00:17:30,730
kicks you out of the Swift.

386
00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:33,190
So you have to go back in and
re-register. I learned that.

387
00:17:34,030 --> 00:17:37,370
The other thing is,
I'm wondering if, until you

388
00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:39,890
get to this use of existing,
just like you're

389
00:17:39,890 --> 00:17:41,990
doing for the Lincoln,
if it's possible to have

390
00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:43,530
somebody go over with an iPad
to some of these

391
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:45,790
commands and say, hey,
we're coming to your

392
00:17:45,790 --> 00:17:47,990
command on this day if you want
to come on down

393
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:48,690
and get it done.

394
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:52,790
We don't have to pull over at
the shack and do that. Yes, ma'am.

395
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:54,450
>> So we're doing that.

396
00:17:54,550 --> 00:17:55,590
So we're going out.

397
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:57,650
We've done,
I don't have the number here, dozens

398
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:59,350
of commands so far, right?

399
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:01,130
And so we're waiting to get the
invite.

400
00:18:02,030 --> 00:18:03,670
And so, but I've, you know,
we put that out there

401
00:18:03,670 --> 00:18:05,170
that we will make ourselves
available.

402
00:18:05,770 --> 00:18:08,850
And so we have gone and done
the on-site

403
00:18:08,850 --> 00:18:11,110
enrollment for commands,
for many commands.

404
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:17,270
>> Think that many.
that most of the people have registered on base? I'm just curious.

405
00:18:17,550 --> 00:18:19,610
>> Yeah,
we have about 25,000 people who have

406
00:18:19,610 --> 00:18:21,190
registered over the last like
year.

407
00:18:22,430 --> 00:18:25,430
Most days,
we have about 24,000 people coming in the gate.

408
00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:29,250
But people transfer, right?
I mean, it.

409
00:18:29,370 --> 00:18:31,550
So we don't know exactly, right?

410
00:18:31,670 --> 00:18:35,170
Because we can't match from our
security system to

411
00:18:35,170 --> 00:18:39,170
our manning system to like see
what the overlap is.

412
00:18:39,330 --> 00:18:40,990
There's no bridge between the
two, unfortunately.

413
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:44,210
But there's a lot of people
that's registered. That's great.

414
00:18:44,370 --> 00:18:47,890
>> The other question for you
is the use of existing ID?

415
00:18:48,190 --> 00:18:49,730
I mean, how far do you think,
how long do you

416
00:18:49,730 --> 00:18:51,370
think that's going to be until
they can figure it out?

417
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:54,610
I mean,
I'm looking at my picture and it's kind of scary.

418
00:18:54,850 --> 00:18:56,350
I'm thinking,
I don't know that that would actually work.

419
00:18:56,810 --> 00:18:57,130
>> Yeah.

420
00:18:57,130 --> 00:18:59,350
>> So,
I'm going to try to go to the slide.

421
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:00,730
will answer your question.

422
00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:05,750
So we are hopeful that here in
the next steps,

423
00:19:07,370 --> 00:19:08,990
yeah,
using existing ID card photo.

424
00:19:09,550 --> 00:19:13,370
So yeah,
when you have your ID photo, everybody in

425
00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:15,610
the system has the there are
one ID card photo.

426
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:18,170
What we might find is that it's
not high enough

427
00:19:18,170 --> 00:19:20,470
fidelity,
but there will definitely be people who

428
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:23,710
maybe got their photo taken a
long time ago, and

429
00:19:23,710 --> 00:19:26,250
we might find out that, hey,
if your photo is over

430
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:28,230
about five years of age,
maybe it doesn't tend to

431
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:30,610
work,
or maybe if find out that we're that we

432
00:19:30,610 --> 00:19:33,150
switch to using the existing
photos and like you

433
00:19:33,150 --> 00:19:35,770
specifically aren't working so
now we got to fix

434
00:19:35,770 --> 00:19:38,850
you know your one case but
maybe it works for 95%

435
00:19:38,850 --> 00:19:42,210
of people so we we don't really
know how accurate

436
00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:48,170
it's going to be yet So this is
part of the experimentation. Yeah, for sure.

437
00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:50,670
>> Thank you.
Any other questions from council members?

438
00:19:51,450 --> 00:19:53,730
Just to be clear, though,
isn't everything done

439
00:19:53,730 --> 00:19:55,210
there at the visitor center?

440
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:57,590
I mean, for instance,
if I have to go in to get a

441
00:19:57,590 --> 00:20:00,490
new access debits card,
and I need a new picture,

442
00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:02,730
the picture took four seconds.
It's right there.

443
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:04,970
And then if I have to
re-register for Swift, it's

444
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:07,530
just, it's all,
they get the same pre-book help us

445
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:08,670
and it's, that's right.

446
00:20:08,670 --> 00:20:10,950
I found it to be super
efficient.

447
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,350
I wanted to, uh, one.

448
00:20:14,810 --> 00:20:18,050
acknowledge that we're going to
be sad to lose you on December 10th.

449
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,850
Obviously I am getting to know
the Exo and think

450
00:20:20,850 --> 00:20:22,970
he seems wonderful and I
appreciate all the kind

451
00:20:22,970 --> 00:20:24,670
of words you say about him but
I'll just say this

452
00:20:24,670 --> 00:20:27,790
from my personal point of view
and any council

453
00:20:27,790 --> 00:20:29,350
member or city manager any can
speak for them to

454
00:20:29,370 --> 00:20:32,090
But from my personal point of
view, over the last

455
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:36,210
three different commanding
officers, we've had a

456
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,590
very good relationship at the
city with all three of them.

457
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:41,450
But to a certain extent,
and this is no knock on

458
00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:44,150
any of them,
and it's more of a compliment to you, I think.

459
00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:47,090
is that it seems that even with
those three all

460
00:20:47,090 --> 00:20:48,610
having a good relationship with
the city or with

461
00:20:48,610 --> 00:20:50,890
myself,
I think that it's actually been

462
00:20:50,890 --> 00:20:53,730
progressing to even a better
relationship along the entire time.

463
00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:55,730
So I thank you very much for
that and you're

464
00:20:55,730 --> 00:20:58,170
always willing to communicate
and have a great

465
00:20:58,170 --> 00:20:59,710
attitude with working with
them. us.

466
00:20:59,950 --> 00:21:02,830
I know it can be difficult and
you know there are

467
00:21:02,830 --> 00:21:05,090
issues at times but I really
appreciate your

468
00:21:05,090 --> 00:21:06,610
service and thank you so much
for it.

469
00:21:06,610 --> 00:21:08,350
>> Yes sir well thank you I
mean you know for me and

470
00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:10,490
my family like we've always
felt welcome here in

471
00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:13,110
Coronado and you know that that
family feel of

472
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:14,370
this location makes it really
easy for you.

473
00:21:14,370 --> 00:21:16,730
for me to do my job because
this is, as I look up

474
00:21:16,730 --> 00:21:18,510
here, I, you know,
I know the names, I know the

475
00:21:18,510 --> 00:21:20,330
backgrounds,
I know the faces of every person up

476
00:21:20,330 --> 00:21:22,290
here,
and that makes it really easy to come in.

477
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:23,690
Sometimes have those hard
conversations that we

478
00:21:23,690 --> 00:21:26,950
need to have, sir,
so thanks for your vote support.

479
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:28,570
I'll make sure to tell Monty.

480
00:21:29,370 --> 00:21:31,730
my previous commander about the
kind words that you said.

481
00:21:31,950 --> 00:21:34,410
>> I saw a bomb at F-45 a
couple days ago, so I told

482
00:21:34,410 --> 00:21:38,490
you I'll tell him. Yeah, okay.
Councilmember Danny. Yes, ma'am.

483
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:41,910
>> First one is,
you're absolutely right if

484
00:21:41,910 --> 00:21:44,210
somebody's ID doesn't work
properly, just to show

485
00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:44,370
you what's going on.

486
00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:46,090
mine has worked perfectly,
I've had no problems.

487
00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:49,270
My husband's did and then it
stopped working twice

488
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:50,770
and they figured out he had to
get a new one.

489
00:21:51,090 --> 00:21:52,490
It was something with the strip.

490
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:55,450
Something wasn't working
properly but they fixed it immediately.

491
00:21:56,290 --> 00:21:59,250
So and it did exactly as as
Councilmember Stewart said.

492
00:21:59,370 --> 00:22:02,390
The system when it didn't let
him, that was the

493
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:04,330
obvious thing,
there was something wrong in the recognition.

494
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:05,910
So that system's working.

495
00:22:05,910 --> 00:22:06,890
It did exactly what you wanted.

496
00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:08,170
It was immediately fixed.

497
00:22:08,170 --> 00:22:10,190
And I want to give you all more
credit than you gave yourselves.

498
00:22:10,690 --> 00:22:15,730
Not only has the Navy been the
Sandag platinum. winner in 2425.

499
00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:18,830
You've been the winner every
year I've been doing

500
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:20,330
it since it started.

501
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:22,870
So give yourself a little bit
bigger, Pat on the back.

502
00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:24,390
>> Okay, yes ma'am, thank you.

503
00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:27,050
Well,
I'll make sure I'll update the slide too. No, thank you.

504
00:22:27,530 --> 00:22:29,030
Thank you, Ms. Downey.

505
00:22:29,650 --> 00:22:31,150
>> Any other questions with the
captain?

506
00:22:31,670 --> 00:22:33,390
All right, thank you so much,
sir. Appreciate you. Thank you, Mayor.

507
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:40,550
Moving forward to the consent
calendar, Council

508
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:44,370
Member Purvis,
are there any items from the consent calendar?

509
00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:46,290
You'd like to move off of it or
anything else?

510
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:48,650
a regular agenda you'd like to
move on to the consent calendar?

511
00:22:50,030 --> 00:22:54,790
>> Yes, Mayor.
I'd like to move item 8c resolution to extend a

512
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,210
local emergency declaration in
the city of

513
00:22:57,210 --> 00:22:59,970
Coronado due to impacts from
cross-border water pollution.

514
00:23:00,530 --> 00:23:03,210
>> Thank you.
Are there any objections from other council members?

515
00:23:04,990 --> 00:23:07,330
We'll move item 8c to the
consent calendar.

516
00:23:08,030 --> 00:23:09,310
Are there any other items that
other council

517
00:23:09,310 --> 00:23:10,790
members would like to discuss
on the consent

518
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:12,290
calendar at this time?

519
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:14,050
Are there any members of the
public who would like

520
00:23:14,050 --> 00:23:15,550
to address council on the
consent calendar?

521
00:23:15,670 --> 00:23:17,230
We will be getting to regular
general public

522
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:20,430
comment in just a moment. Okay,
seeing none.

523
00:23:21,050 --> 00:23:22,910
Can we please vote on the
consent calendar?

524
00:23:22,910 --> 00:23:24,010
Oh we need a motion.

525
00:23:24,010 --> 00:23:25,710
>> I move approval of the
consent calendar with the

526
00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:27,270
addition of item HC.

527
00:23:27,670 --> 00:23:28,690
>> With the addition of item 8C.

528
00:23:28,690 --> 00:23:30,190
>> And second that motion?

529
00:23:30,290 --> 00:23:31,310
>> Thank you so much.

530
00:23:31,310 --> 00:23:32,810
Motion made by Council Member
Downey.

531
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:34,490
Seconded by Council Member
Stewart, please vote.

532
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:37,870
>> Motion carries. Voting aye.

533
00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:42,430
>> All righty,
thank you with disposing of item four on our agenda. The consent calendar.

534
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:46,570
We will move forward to item
five, which is as our

535
00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:48,630
regular public comment,
oral communications.

536
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:51,390
Each person wishing to speak
before the City

537
00:23:51,390 --> 00:23:53,230
Council on matters not listed
on the agenda.

538
00:23:53,850 --> 00:23:55,270
Please come up to the podium to
address the City

539
00:23:55,270 --> 00:23:57,370
Council,
give your name and limit comments to three minutes.

540
00:23:57,550 --> 00:23:59,410
Clerk,
do we have registered speakers to begin?

541
00:23:59,590 --> 00:24:01,090
>> We do have four registered
speakers.

542
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:03,070
First is Mila Albertson.

543
00:24:03,810 --> 00:24:06,090
>> Thank you. Good afternoon,
Mila.

544
00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:07,530
>> Good afternoon.

545
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:09,050
>> Sorry,
I wasn't here last time.

546
00:24:09,650 --> 00:24:12,730
But I sent my comments to those
who were being

547
00:24:12,730 --> 00:24:14,470
affected by one of the issues.

548
00:24:15,530 --> 00:24:16,310
First, I want to.

549
00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:21,130
to thank the EMTs who came to
my house at midnight

550
00:24:21,130 --> 00:24:26,070
on the fourth when my husband
collapsed and needed

551
00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:29,550
to be taken to the emergency
room where he was

552
00:24:29,550 --> 00:24:31,290
treated there,
moved into an emergency room.

553
00:24:31,310 --> 00:24:36,250
ICU then moved irregular and
kept there until last Tuesday.

554
00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:39,410
He's doing okay now,
it's still more checking to

555
00:24:39,410 --> 00:24:42,530
be checked,
but the EMTs were wonderful.

556
00:24:42,810 --> 00:24:46,590
I wanted Jason to know that and
I'll like that. that.

557
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:48,510
I do have one issue.

558
00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:52,930
I'm wondering where our red
curbs are that we are

559
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:57,150
going to paint red around the
curbs to keep people

560
00:24:57,150 --> 00:25:01,070
from parking too close to
intersections.

561
00:25:01,310 --> 00:25:06,910
because I have now seen close
to several accidents

562
00:25:06,910 --> 00:25:10,650
happening because no one can
see because of the

563
00:25:10,650 --> 00:25:12,150
cars on the corners.

564
00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:16,290
This issue was discussed at a
previous city council.

565
00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:20,310
Council meeting,
and I would love to see that project get underway.

566
00:25:21,450 --> 00:25:24,250
I don't know what's happening,
but more and more

567
00:25:24,250 --> 00:25:29,870
people are parking right on the
corner blocking

568
00:25:29,870 --> 00:25:32,490
anybody turning either
direction.

569
00:25:33,150 --> 00:25:36,410
You can't see, you don't know,
and I'm afraid

570
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:42,130
we're going to have a really
bad accident sometime soon. That's it. Thank you.

571
00:25:42,730 --> 00:25:44,230
>> All right. Thank you, Mrs.
Soperson.

572
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:47,490
And please give jigs our best
and wish him well with his recovery.

573
00:25:48,690 --> 00:25:50,070
All right, next speaker, please.

574
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:51,970
>> Next, we have Glenn Reynolds.

575
00:25:53,170 --> 00:25:54,590
>> Hi, good afternoon.

576
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:59,270
>> Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, I'm Carolyn Reynolds with Coronado Cab, Coronado Livery.

577
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:04,130
Just wanted to, um,
Say thank you for the Swift Lane.

578
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:10,430
We find ourselves in a position
to be one of the

579
00:26:10,430 --> 00:26:14,270
primary folks and the industry
to take folks on and off bases.

580
00:26:14,650 --> 00:26:16,290
And the drivers very much
appreciate it.

581
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:18,990
it and we'd love to have a day
when I could bring

582
00:26:18,990 --> 00:26:21,430
a lot of drivers in and maybe
get them all signed up.

583
00:26:22,130 --> 00:26:24,910
One thing is perhaps don't wear
your sunglasses

584
00:26:24,910 --> 00:26:27,470
that might slow it down.

585
00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:32,230
We were just hoping to perhaps
get a meeting with

586
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:35,290
our city manager sometime in
October.

587
00:26:35,690 --> 00:26:38,270
There's lots going on in the
transportation

588
00:26:38,270 --> 00:26:41,930
industry with autonomous
vehicles, new round-trip

589
00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:44,710
fees at the airport if you want
to access the

590
00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:46,230
airport for drop-off and pickup.

591
00:26:48,170 --> 00:26:51,810
We are so appreciative and
thankful and see the

592
00:26:51,810 --> 00:26:54,410
wisdom of our city in keeping
local control.

593
00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:57,730
The city of San Diego struggles
greatly because

594
00:26:57,730 --> 00:27:01,290
they don't have the control
that this city has to do that.

595
00:27:01,310 --> 00:27:06,270
manage its own roadways and the
public services that are here.

596
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:09,630
We find ourselves in a position
of being a

597
00:27:09,630 --> 00:27:11,130
gatekeeper, if you will.

598
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:15,090
We know who belongs,
who doesn't belong, we

599
00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:17,530
receive calls from Hawaii.
hotels and others.

600
00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:21,130
If folks are losing items and
we're the ones

601
00:27:21,130 --> 00:27:24,530
picking them up,
we can get that wallet back to

602
00:27:24,530 --> 00:27:27,310
the gentleman at the hotel del
yesterday who left

603
00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:28,810
his wallet in the car.

604
00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:33,450
We are committed to to seeing
that the citizens,

605
00:27:33,670 --> 00:27:37,110
especially those perhaps who
just need a cab to go

606
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:40,750
a few blocks,
are going to be able to receive that ride.

607
00:27:41,290 --> 00:27:44,310
That's something you don't see
in other parts of our county.

608
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:48,550
So in order to update where we
are.

609
00:27:49,130 --> 00:27:51,370
We love the opportunity to
speak with our manager,

610
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:54,690
perhaps look at our own city
code, what's

611
00:27:54,690 --> 00:27:57,090
happening there if there need
to be some tweaks

612
00:27:57,090 --> 00:27:59,990
here and there to make it to
help us remain

613
00:27:59,990 --> 00:28:03,130
relevant and being able to
continue service.

614
00:28:03,870 --> 00:28:06,470
Also wanted to mention that we
have the ADA

615
00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:09,450
service that we offer special
rates for our local

616
00:28:09,450 --> 00:28:11,410
folks that need those ADA vans.

617
00:28:12,210 --> 00:28:13,710
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

618
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:15,710
>> I thank you for being here
and I think many of the

619
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:16,310
council members I don't know.

620
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,730
Certainly,
Council Member Downey has told me in

621
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:20,410
the past,
and I also have heard very nice comments

622
00:28:20,410 --> 00:28:24,410
about the personal service,
so we appreciate it. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

623
00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:26,170
>> Next we have Robbins Kelly.

624
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:34,480
>> Afternoon.

625
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,180
>> Robbins Kelly. Mayor Duncan.

626
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:39,580
Members of the council,
city manager friend.

627
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,220
As another busy summer winds
down, I would like to

628
00:28:43,220 --> 00:28:45,880
suggest that the city take a
moment to really look

629
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,580
at our downtown and our
community.

630
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,900
Things have gotten a little out
of hand. outdoor dining.

631
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:56,240
As a city we have encouraged
outdoor dining, but

632
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,800
there are rules,
number of seats, placement of tables.

633
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,380
Many establishments far exceed
the total of

634
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:06,240
allowed seats and where the
tables are placed.

635
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,900
One restaurant is now using red
plastic extensions

636
00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:14,380
and chains to mark off what
they feel to be their

637
00:29:14,380 --> 00:29:18,260
space,
pushing past the allowed space from the

638
00:29:18,260 --> 00:29:21,780
building and blocking the
sidewalk to pedestrians.

639
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:26,320
When did city sidewalks and
alleys become extra

640
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,900
space for ice machines and
propane tanks?

641
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,040
When major projects are
approved, don't they

642
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,660
include plans for placement of
trash dumpsters?

643
00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:40,140
The alley behind Blanco and the
former law of

644
00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:46,140
Anita now houses six dumpsters
and two propane storage tank cages.

645
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:50,980
Is that even safe because the
cars come back into it?

646
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,200
With the recent approval of yet
another ice cream

647
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,960
store in the former retail
space at 1303 Orange

648
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,240
Avenue,
this brings more questions.

649
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,420
All the trash has to go out the
front door as

650
00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:07,080
there is no alley access.

651
00:30:08,860 --> 00:30:11,960
The trash is to be transported
on our city

652
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,800
sidewalks around the corner to
the dumpsters in the alley.

653
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,140
Parking is a long-standing
issue.

654
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,340
Recent projects have eliminated
on-site parking. parking, moving off-site.

655
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,520
A friend told me that they went
to Nighthawk and

656
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,140
tried to valet park,
only to be told, there was none available.

657
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,620
What does that say?

658
00:30:34,020 --> 00:30:37,080
Adequate parking, which is...

659
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:39,800
interesting because I attended
the design review

660
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,160
planning commission meeting and
you will be seeing

661
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:48,400
the parking plan for 1303 and
the owner's

662
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,080
representative was more than
happy to assure the

663
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,780
commissioned that there is
plenty of parking.

664
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,540
There is always parking there.

665
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:58,920
>> Okay.

666
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,200
>> It's time of the city to
start enforcing the rules

667
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,820
that it already has in place.

668
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:05,940
Working to close the loopholes
that some are using

669
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:08,920
to skirt down to the downtown
specific plan.

670
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,960
It's time to hire a code
enforcement officer.

671
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Not only to work in our
downtown, but our community as well.

672
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Once your project is signed
off, is there any

673
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,940
follow-up,
unless the neighbors are willing to

674
00:31:22,940 --> 00:31:25,200
turn in their neighbors,
nothing is done.

675
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,920
Coronado has long been reactive.

676
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:32,260
It's time to become proactive.
Thank you.

677
00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:33,480
>> All righty, thank you.

678
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,180
I appreciate your comments.
Next speaker?

679
00:31:35,580 --> 00:31:38,200
>> Our last registered speaker.
is Rebecca Mutla.

680
00:31:43,390 --> 00:31:48,850
>> Afternoon. Good afternoon.
I'm Rebecca Motla from 64 Spindiger Way.

681
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:52,670
Good afternoon Mayor Duncan,
council member, city

682
00:31:52,670 --> 00:31:55,810
manager, friend, city staff,
consultants and residents residents.

683
00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:58,910
As a member of the Baha'i faith
community of South

684
00:31:58,910 --> 00:32:01,870
Bay, San Diego,
I come this afternoon to present

685
00:32:01,870 --> 00:32:03,650
you with a letter from the
Baha'is of the United

686
00:32:03,650 --> 00:32:06,990
States in honor of the 250th
anniversary of the

687
00:32:06,990 --> 00:32:10,130
Declaration of Independence,
which we're celebrating this year.

688
00:32:10,850 --> 00:32:14,090
This is a moment of reflection
for some and a

689
00:32:14,090 --> 00:32:15,650
moment of uncertainty for
others.

690
00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:18,870
Over our history,
citizens of labor to give

691
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:22,450
expression to the ideals listed
in that unique document.

692
00:32:23,170 --> 00:32:24,870
Freedom, equality and justice.

693
00:32:25,630 --> 00:32:28,910
Yet many are now exhausted,
disillusioned, and

694
00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:31,730
apathetic amid the polarization
and conflict that

695
00:32:31,730 --> 00:32:34,050
has become a part of the
atmosphere of public

696
00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:37,810
life,
both in the nation at large, and even communities like Coronado.

697
00:32:38,810 --> 00:32:41,550
Our last local election was
fraught with unseemly

698
00:32:41,550 --> 00:32:43,070
personal attacks and
accusations.

699
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:47,730
Some blame goes to conflict
entrepreneurs, found

700
00:32:47,730 --> 00:32:51,770
across all media who glorify
and provoke conflict for personal gain.

701
00:32:53,070 --> 00:32:55,270
Unfortunately,
those narratives obscure a

702
00:32:55,290 --> 00:32:57,810
widespread desire to transcend
division.

703
00:32:59,790 --> 00:33:01,990
But this trying time can become
an inflection

704
00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:04,390
point and constructive efforts
begin to take shape.

705
00:33:05,790 --> 00:33:07,870
Let us see through our
differences and recognize

706
00:33:07,870 --> 00:33:11,950
the sincere,
fair-minded souls who long to contribute.

707
00:33:13,290 --> 00:33:15,030
Looking at the people around
us, we may have

708
00:33:15,030 --> 00:33:17,350
assumptions about what they
believe, what they

709
00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:18,850
want, what they think about us.

710
00:33:19,670 --> 00:33:22,610
But more than we realize,
there is in the hearts

711
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:25,270
of most people not just the
ones who we feel comfortable.

712
00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:28,770
comfortable with,
goodwill and integrity, sincere

713
00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:30,810
concern for others,
especially for our young

714
00:33:30,810 --> 00:33:33,630
people,
and the desire to overcome difference and

715
00:33:33,630 --> 00:33:35,130
find a path forward.

716
00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:38,710
This message,
a common endeavor realizing the

717
00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:42,530
promise of America,
is an invitation for thoughtful conversation.

718
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:45,770
In this time of challenge,
we need spaces where we

719
00:33:45,770 --> 00:33:49,390
can pause, reflect,
and listen to others with openness and goodwill.

720
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:52,910
We hope this message can
inspire such

721
00:33:52,910 --> 00:33:55,170
conversations in homes and
neighborhoods.

722
00:33:55,290 --> 00:33:57,850
in faith communities and civic
settings like this,

723
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:00,170
so that we can move forward
together.

724
00:34:01,570 --> 00:34:03,230
The Baha'is believe the United
States and its

725
00:34:03,230 --> 00:34:05,590
communities have a destiny to
play in the

726
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:07,090
elevation of all humanity.

727
00:34:08,270 --> 00:34:10,070
Abdul-Bahalha,
one of the central figures of our

728
00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:13,850
faith,
said in 1912 when he traveled from coast to coast.

729
00:34:15,890 --> 00:34:19,090
Quote, ellipsis,
let this American democracy

730
00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:22,190
become glorious and spiritual
degrees, even as it

731
00:34:22,190 --> 00:34:26,650
has aspired to material
degrees, and render this justly government victorious.

732
00:34:27,850 --> 00:34:30,230
Confirm this revered nation to
upraise the

733
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:33,250
standard of the Oneness of
Humanity, to promulgate

734
00:34:33,250 --> 00:34:36,070
the most great peace,
to become thereby most

735
00:34:36,070 --> 00:34:40,890
glorious and praiseworthy among
all the nations of the world. end quote.

736
00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:44,350
It is through a return to our
founding principles

737
00:34:44,350 --> 00:34:46,770
detailed in the Declaration of
Independence and

738
00:34:46,770 --> 00:34:48,750
our original national motto, E.

739
00:34:48,890 --> 00:34:52,030
Plurbus Unum, out of many one,
that we can start

740
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:53,530
to achieve that destiny.

741
00:34:54,430 --> 00:34:55,290
Should anyone else say that?

742
00:34:55,290 --> 00:34:58,130
in the audience or at home with
a copy of this letter.

743
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:59,830
You can find it on Baha'i. U.S.

744
00:35:00,330 --> 00:35:01,990
and I provided a copy for you
all.

745
00:35:02,130 --> 00:35:03,630
I hope you'll have a good look
at it.

746
00:35:03,790 --> 00:35:05,290
It's only four pages long.

747
00:35:05,410 --> 00:35:06,930
Thank you for your attention
this afternoon.

748
00:35:07,310 --> 00:35:08,810
>> All right.
Thank you for your comments.

749
00:35:08,830 --> 00:35:10,030
Is there any other members of
the public who

750
00:35:10,030 --> 00:35:10,290
didn't have any questions?

751
00:35:10,290 --> 00:35:11,410
a chance to register.

752
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:12,910
I'd like to address counsel.

753
00:35:12,990 --> 00:35:18,990
So please come forward.
Good afternoon.

754
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:27,230
>> Good afternoon.
My name is Jamie Tegel Burgos and my husband,

755
00:35:27,490 --> 00:35:31,550
Chander Burgos and I live at
the entrance of the

756
00:35:31,550 --> 00:35:33,150
main gate for the base.

757
00:35:34,070 --> 00:35:36,590
We are in the Glenn Curtis
house that we restored

758
00:35:36,590 --> 00:35:42,310
several years ago and so we are
right at the east of lane.

759
00:35:42,930 --> 00:35:46,250
So I'm first of all I just want
to I keen because

760
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:50,090
this morning before work I was
reading I think

761
00:35:50,090 --> 00:35:52,370
Econada news and I saw that
there was going to be

762
00:35:52,370 --> 00:35:54,870
a presentation in Swift Lane
and I thought I'd

763
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:56,630
better finish work early and
get down the City

764
00:35:56,630 --> 00:36:00,470
Council meeting because I
wanted to give my input.

765
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:03,430
and I thought this would be a
good way to do it.

766
00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:07,850
I just wanted to say,
first to Captain Jacoby, you

767
00:36:07,850 --> 00:36:09,310
are doing a wonderful job.

768
00:36:09,310 --> 00:36:11,430
I've seen it with my own eyes,
where I live.

769
00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:14,190
You will be missed.

770
00:36:14,210 --> 00:36:15,590
And I do appreciate everything.

771
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:18,790
Every time I've reached out,
it's always been quite helpful.

772
00:36:21,290 --> 00:36:27,290
And I'm very grateful for the
efforts for the swifling.

773
00:36:28,070 --> 00:36:30,050
And I do think it's going to be
successful.

774
00:36:30,590 --> 00:36:32,990
But I just want to give my
feedback to the city

775
00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:37,010
council and to Captain Jacobi's
here today.

776
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:42,470
I'm fully aware of the weighing
the, you know, the

777
00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:45,450
financial benefit of less
manpower at the gate.

778
00:36:47,650 --> 00:36:50,130
and that against, you know,
being a good neighbor

779
00:36:50,130 --> 00:36:52,390
and the rollout of the program.

780
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:56,610
And so,
it's been a little bumpy the last couple weeks.

781
00:36:57,130 --> 00:36:58,890
I don't,
I'm not on social media, so I don't know

782
00:36:58,890 --> 00:37:00,570
when anyone else has said,
so that's one thing.

783
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:06,110
I'm here, but I, you know,
I have a great interest

784
00:37:06,110 --> 00:37:09,270
because I'm in that quadrant
and I have, I still

785
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:12,070
have a, I have one in college,
but I have one in

786
00:37:12,070 --> 00:37:14,190
seventh grade still, you know,
who's with her

787
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:15,590
friends and they're always on
the trampoline.

788
00:37:15,590 --> 00:37:17,830
the front and it's been kind of
rough with all

789
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:21,510
that traffic for the kids and
safety in particular

790
00:37:21,510 --> 00:37:23,010
in crossing the street.

791
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:24,990
I barely could cross the street
the other day

792
00:37:24,990 --> 00:37:26,590
because it was just so backed
up and I'm not

793
00:37:26,590 --> 00:37:30,570
talking early in the morning,
I'm talking really random time.

794
00:37:30,590 --> 00:37:34,850
And so I was so my husband
who's an engineer and I

795
00:37:34,850 --> 00:37:38,710
have been looking and trying to
figure out why is

796
00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:42,130
it backed up on these off times
and I'm talking

797
00:37:42,130 --> 00:37:45,490
backed up several blocks down
third all the way

798
00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:47,530
down to down Alameda to the
point where I can't

799
00:37:47,530 --> 00:37:49,510
get in my driveway or get out
of my driveway.

800
00:37:49,870 --> 00:37:55,870
So I have been parking two to
three streets back Alameda. So J.H.

801
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:58,990
even I the other day because I
just couldn't know

802
00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:00,490
I couldn't get in and out.

803
00:38:00,590 --> 00:38:04,270
I got you know for work and the
kids and just it's just impossible.

804
00:38:05,170 --> 00:38:07,310
So and I do unfortunately have
those driveways

805
00:38:07,310 --> 00:38:09,750
actually a driveway on 3rd and
a drive on Alameda

806
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:11,430
that literally go into the
traffic.

807
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:15,570
So last ditch effort I back my
car.

808
00:38:15,590 --> 00:38:17,650
in the last few days into my
driveway to get it

809
00:38:17,650 --> 00:38:19,150
out because they just can't get
out.

810
00:38:19,550 --> 00:38:21,310
So what I've noticed was off
hours.

811
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:25,690
There's buses that are idling,
stuck, MTS buses.

812
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:28,270
My trash did not get picked up
last Wednesday.

813
00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:30,570
Unfortunately,
the trash delivery trips.

814
00:38:30,590 --> 00:38:32,090
couldn't pick it up.

815
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:34,230
Kids couldn't cross the street,
I couldn't cross.

816
00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:37,350
The loud music because the cars
are just sitting

817
00:38:37,350 --> 00:38:38,650
there for so long.

818
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:41,410
I saw several Uber and Lyft
drivers stuck in it.

819
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:44,150
And then of course
unfortunately people trying to

820
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:45,650
get in the base are yelling.

821
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:48,990
honking at each other as well
as unfortunate in the motorcycles.

822
00:38:49,390 --> 00:38:51,030
Since now I understand they
can't go through the

823
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:53,970
swift lane that's causing all
their idling and

824
00:38:53,970 --> 00:38:58,030
then I got the bullhorn last
Saturday from the the

825
00:38:58,030 --> 00:39:00,570
Navy police and the guys at the
Century Guy.

826
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:04,110
because it was so backed up,
they decided to open

827
00:39:04,110 --> 00:39:05,430
all the swift lanes.

828
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:06,930
I know you're aware of this.

829
00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:12,710
And to let the traffic in,
the non-swift lane to

830
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:15,110
the left go to the right.
So anyhow.

831
00:39:15,590 --> 00:39:19,590
I'm trying to really get out is
that I think if

832
00:39:19,590 --> 00:39:23,010
the non-Swiss left lane on the
left or left lane

833
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:26,690
one Was moved maybe to lane
five or four because

834
00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:28,430
what's happening is everybody
who's trying to go

835
00:39:28,430 --> 00:39:31,590
left into Coronado from there
the residents,

836
00:39:32,350 --> 00:39:34,410
school events,
I don't know if they're going to

837
00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:37,230
water polo stuff or the Dell or
wherever they're going from there.

838
00:39:37,350 --> 00:39:38,990
A lot of people don't turn left
on orange when

839
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:39,770
they come in off the bridge.

840
00:39:39,770 --> 00:39:41,470
They go down to Alameda,
they make a left.

841
00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:44,190
They're all stuck and they
can't make a left

842
00:39:44,190 --> 00:39:49,110
because the lane one is backed
up because it's a non-swift lane.

843
00:39:49,830 --> 00:39:51,470
So and then you look to the
right as you

844
00:39:51,470 --> 00:39:52,970
mentioned, you know, it's open.

845
00:39:53,710 --> 00:39:57,270
But if the non-slifling were in
lane five, I got

846
00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:58,790
to give my husband credit,
he's the engineer, he

847
00:39:58,790 --> 00:40:00,570
came up with this, he thought,
whoa, the non-swain lane

848
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:04,870
for playing is in lane five,
then that backup

849
00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:08,310
would be in lanes two and three
on Alameda, I mean on third.

850
00:40:09,170 --> 00:40:10,670
>> So you would be straight,
you know, real quickly

851
00:40:10,670 --> 00:40:13,190
because you're quite a bit over
time. But I agree. No, it's okay.

852
00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:15,570
I appreciate your concerns.

853
00:40:15,590 --> 00:40:18,110
Are there any other conclusions
in addition to

854
00:40:18,110 --> 00:40:19,590
that swift lane when you just
mentioned

855
00:40:19,590 --> 00:40:21,350
potentially changing you want
to share with us

856
00:40:21,350 --> 00:40:22,970
before you wrap up?

857
00:40:25,030 --> 00:40:27,570
>> No,
actually you got down to the bottom of it.

858
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:31,890
If we can move the non-swiwain
to the lane five or

859
00:40:31,890 --> 00:40:33,390
four for you guys.

860
00:40:33,630 --> 00:40:35,930
That would open up lane two and
three and we

861
00:40:35,930 --> 00:40:37,550
wouldn't have that awful backup.

862
00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:41,170
It's really strange hours and I
want to give

863
00:40:41,170 --> 00:40:45,570
credit to Navy police officer
Jay Wiggins who kind

864
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:49,450
of took the time to talk to me
because I actually

865
00:40:49,450 --> 00:40:51,590
went out and I was just like it
went on for about

866
00:40:51,590 --> 00:40:54,630
three hours it was just too
much I just gonna

867
00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:57,890
believe it so please thank you
so much and reach

868
00:40:57,890 --> 00:41:00,310
out to me or I'll reach out to
you guys and I'm

869
00:41:00,310 --> 00:41:03,930
happy to to and thank you City
Council for listening. You're welcome.

870
00:41:04,770 --> 00:41:06,390
But thank you so much.
Thank you.

871
00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:07,170
>> Thank you.

872
00:41:07,170 --> 00:41:09,210
>> I'm sorry my mic was off but
thank you as well for

873
00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:11,230
coming in and sharing.
Appreciate it.

874
00:41:11,850 --> 00:41:13,250
Are there any other members of
the public?

875
00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:15,490
A final chance for public
comment today and on agenda items?

876
00:41:16,190 --> 00:41:18,470
Okay, seeing them,
we'll go ahead and close regular public comment.

877
00:41:18,750 --> 00:41:19,830
Are there members of council?

878
00:41:19,830 --> 00:41:21,570
We are going to do a regular
report out on a day

879
00:41:21,570 --> 00:41:24,030
as well,
but is there any comments now that any

880
00:41:24,030 --> 00:41:25,530
council members would like to
share?

881
00:41:25,890 --> 00:41:29,290
I have two very,
very brief ones following on to

882
00:41:29,290 --> 00:41:30,590
one of the comments.

883
00:41:30,590 --> 00:41:33,050
comments that was made about
the fire department.

884
00:41:33,730 --> 00:41:37,850
I received a letter today that
was Chief Summers

885
00:41:37,850 --> 00:41:40,270
probably received it as well
was also addressed to

886
00:41:40,270 --> 00:41:43,830
him but it's it's really nice
we we get a lot of

887
00:41:43,830 --> 00:41:45,510
complaints and rightfully we
should that's how we

888
00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:46,930
find out out about problems and
fix them on

889
00:41:46,930 --> 00:41:49,290
council and work with the city
manager as she

890
00:41:49,290 --> 00:41:51,690
implements changes and
resolutions to fix things,

891
00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:54,390
but it is also nice to hear the
compliment.

892
00:41:54,610 --> 00:41:56,210
So I'm just going to read a
couple parts of this letter.

893
00:41:57,530 --> 00:41:59,410
As longtime residents of the
K's, we've always

894
00:41:59,410 --> 00:42:00,590
heard of our Coronado fire
department.

895
00:42:00,590 --> 00:42:03,630
department as being headed and
shoulders above

896
00:42:03,630 --> 00:42:05,870
other departments,
but fortunately he had never

897
00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:07,370
needed them personally
personally.

898
00:42:08,090 --> 00:42:11,450
That changed in August when my
husband, while

899
00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:13,450
working in the garage,
began to fill off and came

900
00:42:13,450 --> 00:42:15,850
upstairs to take a break a few
minutes later. later.

901
00:42:16,010 --> 00:42:18,050
He said I need to go to the
hospital, something

902
00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:20,190
I've never heard from him in 45
years and he asked

903
00:42:20,190 --> 00:42:21,690
me to call 911.

904
00:42:21,830 --> 00:42:23,910
As I was on the phone,
I could hear the siren

905
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:27,890
start and station 37 was there
within minutes.

906
00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:31,630
The ambulance from station 36
arrived at the to moments later.

907
00:42:32,830 --> 00:42:33,610
I want to read the whole latter.

908
00:42:33,610 --> 00:42:35,270
I just want to share some other
quick parts of it.

909
00:42:35,850 --> 00:42:37,650
We wish we could remember all
of their names

910
00:42:37,650 --> 00:42:39,830
because they were so skilled
and compassionate.

911
00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:45,570
She goes on to use words like
great communication, very reassured.

912
00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:48,050
things were done quickly.

913
00:42:48,630 --> 00:42:50,770
The crew handled it like it was
nothing.

914
00:42:51,310 --> 00:42:54,270
They safely got him down the
stairs and loaded up

915
00:42:54,270 --> 00:42:57,610
and it goes on and on to talk
about this

916
00:42:57,610 --> 00:42:59,670
successful resolution
acknowledging that they

917
00:42:59,670 --> 00:43:00,590
don't all end that way.

918
00:43:00,590 --> 00:43:03,050
way, but they are just very,
very grateful for the

919
00:43:03,050 --> 00:43:05,490
stellar care provided by the
Coronado the Fire Department.

920
00:43:06,610 --> 00:43:07,690
So I just wanted to say thank
you, Chief, and

921
00:43:07,690 --> 00:43:10,310
please share that with the
members of the department.

922
00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:14,290
The other very brief
announcement I just wanted to

923
00:43:14,290 --> 00:43:15,810
share is because I hadn't heard
of it.

924
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:17,470
I don't think many people have
and it's coming up

925
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:22,790
very soon at the Coronado
Senior Center hosted by

926
00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:24,950
many groups including by the
city, the seniors,

927
00:43:25,450 --> 00:43:28,870
the Cornado Senior Association,
Safe Harbor

928
00:43:28,870 --> 00:43:30,570
Coronada,
the Coronado Community Foundation.

929
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:34,910
and Sharp is a senior social
day dedicated to

930
00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:37,630
Coronado seniors on Tuesday
October 6th at the

931
00:43:37,630 --> 00:43:42,270
Speckles Center from 2 to 4
with music, food, games, etc.

932
00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:45,290
And there's going to be a free
movie screening at the Cornado Village.

933
00:43:45,590 --> 00:43:48,110
theater after that for
exclusively for seniors

934
00:43:48,110 --> 00:43:50,910
over 60 at 5 p.m.

935
00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:53,390
so please spread the word if
you can and in your

936
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:54,670
city update are you going to
mention anything

937
00:43:54,670 --> 00:43:57,330
about the senior center center
so the one other

938
00:43:57,330 --> 00:43:58,510
thing I just want to mention
about the senior

939
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:01,010
center is the speckles center I
believe that's

940
00:44:01,010 --> 00:44:02,510
where the air conditioning went
down.

941
00:44:02,910 --> 00:44:04,510
We have been talking about
trying to expedite

942
00:44:04,510 --> 00:44:05,950
ensuring that that is repaired.

943
00:44:05,950 --> 00:44:07,410
There was a park,
there was some back order,

944
00:44:07,410 --> 00:44:09,430
unfortunately,
during the heat wave.

945
00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:11,630
But if anybody asks you about
that, please know

946
00:44:11,630 --> 00:44:13,190
that we're hoping to have that
remedied very

947
00:44:13,190 --> 00:44:15,570
quickly and hopefully maybe be
able to.

948
00:44:15,590 --> 00:44:18,610
senior day on October 6th.

949
00:44:18,650 --> 00:44:20,150
All right, Councilor Downey.

950
00:44:20,730 --> 00:44:22,790
>> I'm just wondering are you
going to address the

951
00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:26,930
cameras and the traffic
monitoring in your update?

952
00:44:27,510 --> 00:44:29,610
Would if you don't I would so
that's all I wanted.

953
00:44:31,170 --> 00:44:32,410
>> All righty, thank you.

954
00:44:32,410 --> 00:44:34,050
So we will go ahead and close
our public comment

955
00:44:34,050 --> 00:44:36,850
and also for council members as
well, unless

956
00:44:36,850 --> 00:44:38,350
anybody else has anything.

957
00:44:38,490 --> 00:44:40,490
Okay,
seeing none we'll move on to item six on our

958
00:44:40,490 --> 00:44:43,550
agenda,
which is the city manager report.

959
00:44:43,810 --> 00:44:45,310
>> All right.
Thank you Mayor Duncan.

960
00:44:45,590 --> 00:44:47,090
members,
members of the community.

961
00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:52,590
And I will start with the item
that Council Member Downey queued up.

962
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:55,370
So we had received quite a few
comments this

963
00:44:55,370 --> 00:44:58,330
morning,
including by members of the Dice, here

964
00:44:58,330 --> 00:45:00,470
about what are these cameras
going up around town?

965
00:45:00,590 --> 00:45:03,350
And so I just wanted to share
this out.

966
00:45:03,550 --> 00:45:05,750
We did put a social media post
out this morning,

967
00:45:05,830 --> 00:45:08,750
but this is an annual traffic
counting activity

968
00:45:08,750 --> 00:45:10,370
and it is us doing this.

969
00:45:10,890 --> 00:45:13,150
So beginning today,
September 15th, our city

970
00:45:13,150 --> 00:45:15,570
contractor,
National Data and Serving, services.

971
00:45:15,590 --> 00:45:18,490
is deploying a combination of
the tube counters

972
00:45:18,490 --> 00:45:20,890
that run along the ground that
you drive over to

973
00:45:20,890 --> 00:45:25,470
count cars,
as well as the video traffic counters around town.

974
00:45:26,290 --> 00:45:28,110
They will be up for three
consecutive weeks,

975
00:45:28,250 --> 00:45:30,570
various locations,
and every year of the city,

976
00:45:30,590 --> 00:45:32,610
group of cameras will take
about three days to set

977
00:45:32,610 --> 00:45:35,110
up and take down and we should
have everything all

978
00:45:35,110 --> 00:45:36,810
the data collected by the end
of September.

979
00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:38,790
So if you see those cameras and
I think there's

980
00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:41,170
one on the 500 block of H that
I particularly

981
00:45:41,170 --> 00:45:43,890
received comments about those
are city cameras

982
00:45:43,890 --> 00:45:45,570
those are put up legitimately
to help us on the city

983
00:45:45,590 --> 00:45:48,450
understand traffic so we can
evaluate you every

984
00:45:48,450 --> 00:45:49,950
year how traffic is changing.

985
00:45:50,070 --> 00:45:51,510
>> And one of the things that
came up this morning

986
00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:54,290
because coincidentally when
it's pointed at your

987
00:45:54,290 --> 00:45:56,570
house as a council person the
entire block wanted

988
00:45:56,570 --> 00:45:59,610
me to come explain what I was
doing and so the

989
00:45:59,610 --> 00:46:02,630
question is now after
recognizing it, when we saw

990
00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:08,630
the Fifth Avenue had on the
ground measures.

991
00:46:09,090 --> 00:46:10,550
I figured out what it was.

992
00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:12,170
But I don't think the public
understands, and

993
00:46:12,170 --> 00:46:14,630
nobody in my block understood,
that it was high

994
00:46:14,630 --> 00:46:15,590
enough that it wasn't.

995
00:46:15,590 --> 00:46:17,570
looking into my house or my
neighbors.

996
00:46:18,110 --> 00:46:20,150
It was actually going above all
the houses and

997
00:46:20,150 --> 00:46:22,070
trying to get fifth because I'm
halfway through.

998
00:46:22,570 --> 00:46:24,610
So I'm assuming that's correct
that they are so high.

999
00:46:24,990 --> 00:46:26,750
They're not at the level seeing
anybody's houses.

1000
00:46:27,010 --> 00:46:28,430
>> It's way above it.
That is correct.

1001
00:46:28,430 --> 00:46:30,370
Councilmember we are not
looking at houses.

1002
00:46:30,590 --> 00:46:35,450
were getting a higher view of
the streets overall. Yeah, thank you. And also apologies.

1003
00:46:35,850 --> 00:46:37,270
This is something we like to
put out proactively

1004
00:46:37,270 --> 00:46:38,770
so people don't have to wonder.

1005
00:46:38,850 --> 00:46:40,730
So we'll build that into next
year's work plan.

1006
00:46:41,230 --> 00:46:42,950
So we put this information out
in advance.

1007
00:46:43,390 --> 00:46:44,470
Yeah, thank you for that.

1008
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:45,590
Okay, so thank you.

1009
00:46:45,590 --> 00:46:46,550
Thank you, Ms. Holian.

1010
00:46:46,550 --> 00:46:48,130
I do have a few other updates.

1011
00:46:48,730 --> 00:46:50,230
So if I have the next slide,
please.

1012
00:46:50,730 --> 00:46:53,590
The first is in early
September, there was an

1013
00:46:53,590 --> 00:46:56,870
article in the Coronado Times
and we received some

1014
00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:59,790
communications about findings
of mosquitoes that

1015
00:46:59,790 --> 00:47:00,590
were trapped, that were tapped.

1016
00:47:00,590 --> 00:47:02,090
tested positive for the West
Nile.

1017
00:47:03,110 --> 00:47:05,330
And so I just wanted to share a
little bit of

1018
00:47:05,330 --> 00:47:07,310
information about what's
happening with respect to

1019
00:47:07,310 --> 00:47:08,810
coordination between the city
and the county.

1020
00:47:09,010 --> 00:47:11,390
So as everyone may know the
county, they're the

1021
00:47:11,390 --> 00:47:15,570
ones that have the
responsibility for a vector control. So pests.

1022
00:47:16,370 --> 00:47:18,650
etc., fallinter,
and they do year-round

1023
00:47:18,650 --> 00:47:21,570
monitoring, surveilling,
and some treatment is needed.

1024
00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:23,750
Typically,
their work is very much under the radar.

1025
00:47:23,930 --> 00:47:26,190
It is not something you're
seeing, but because

1026
00:47:26,190 --> 00:47:28,790
there were three mosquitoes
that were trapped that

1027
00:47:28,790 --> 00:47:30,570
tested positive, they sent out,
I think, about 15 years

1028
00:47:30,590 --> 00:47:34,430
1,500 letters across the city
in the affected parts of town.

1029
00:47:35,050 --> 00:47:36,650
So they have increased their
surveillance,

1030
00:47:36,670 --> 00:47:40,110
testing, and inspections,
looking at standing

1031
00:47:40,110 --> 00:47:42,270
water,
potential breeding sites in particular.

1032
00:47:42,770 --> 00:47:45,510
And these efforts will continue
through September and October.

1033
00:47:45,590 --> 00:47:47,390
based on the surveillance
findings.

1034
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:51,630
We haven't heard of any more
positive testing and

1035
00:47:51,630 --> 00:47:54,770
we are the second bullet we are
in better

1036
00:47:54,770 --> 00:47:57,690
coordination now with them as
they're hearing things.

1037
00:47:58,230 --> 00:48:00,570
And I want to point out finally
that for research

1038
00:48:00,590 --> 00:48:03,030
sources,
really if you go on their website as well

1039
00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:04,730
as if you received a letter it
talks a lot about

1040
00:48:04,730 --> 00:48:06,930
what you can do in your home,
look at standing

1041
00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:09,850
water of course,
try to make sure that your home

1042
00:48:09,850 --> 00:48:12,450
is sealed,
that screens are in proper conditions

1043
00:48:12,450 --> 00:48:14,630
so you don't have insects
entering your home, and

1044
00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:15,590
then also personally think of
that.

1045
00:48:15,590 --> 00:48:18,350
about long sleeves, clothing,
as if it is well a

1046
00:48:18,350 --> 00:48:19,850
repellent if you want to wear
that.

1047
00:48:20,670 --> 00:48:22,370
But we recommend here's a phone
number on the screen.

1048
00:48:22,530 --> 00:48:24,050
If you have further questions
you want to report

1049
00:48:24,050 --> 00:48:25,670
something,
please reach out to the county.

1050
00:48:26,450 --> 00:48:27,990
And as we hear more and there's
something to

1051
00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:29,070
share, we will share it out.

1052
00:48:29,070 --> 00:48:31,330
But I wanted to let you know
that we're of it, we

1053
00:48:31,330 --> 00:48:33,510
will have increased monitoring
here in Coronado

1054
00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:36,350
for the next couple of months
and the county,

1055
00:48:36,610 --> 00:48:38,570
excuse me,
is the main resource for this.

1056
00:48:38,910 --> 00:48:40,410
>> Quick question,
before you move on.

1057
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:43,030
So I believe it is the county,
but maybe next time

1058
00:48:43,030 --> 00:48:45,310
you speak with them you can
check or I'll check as well.

1059
00:48:45,590 --> 00:48:48,690
But I've noticed where there's
water in the

1060
00:48:48,690 --> 00:48:51,270
gutters,
there's been somebody there checking on

1061
00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:53,010
it just,
and I've never really seen those people

1062
00:48:53,010 --> 00:48:54,510
there until this last month.

1063
00:48:54,870 --> 00:48:56,770
So I'm pretty sure it's the
county vector control

1064
00:48:56,770 --> 00:48:59,770
checking on,
is there larvae there or whatever.

1065
00:49:00,590 --> 00:49:02,130
And hopefully for me,
I was wondering if they're

1066
00:49:02,130 --> 00:49:04,030
checking on where is it coming
from?

1067
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:05,270
Because like a lot of people in
Cornado are kind

1068
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:06,970
of confused because somewhere
from up to the

1069
00:49:06,970 --> 00:49:08,870
street somehow,
there's like water in front of a

1070
00:49:08,870 --> 00:49:11,130
lot of the gutters in their
house, in front of their houses.

1071
00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:12,710
They don't know where it comes
from.

1072
00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:15,450
But it has to be from a
neighbor, I guess, somewhere. But anyways.

1073
00:49:15,590 --> 00:49:17,470
I'd be interested and I'll
certainly ask them.

1074
00:49:17,630 --> 00:49:20,130
I haven't yet,
but I usually am rushing off to

1075
00:49:20,130 --> 00:49:22,850
somewhere,
but I see them out there checking the water.

1076
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:25,750
>> It's likely the activity,
but yeah, next time we

1077
00:49:25,750 --> 00:49:27,950
communicate,
we can ask them about what can we

1078
00:49:27,950 --> 00:49:29,950
experience in town with their
surveillance or

1079
00:49:29,950 --> 00:49:30,590
they're looking in government.

1080
00:49:30,590 --> 00:49:33,010
where are they looking I think
so but we can we

1081
00:49:33,010 --> 00:49:35,370
>> can maybe what to those
inspectors also maybe if

1082
00:49:35,370 --> 00:49:38,750
they have any identification
factors sure as we

1083
00:49:38,750 --> 00:49:41,970
know people are in our gutters
but I appreciate it

1084
00:49:41,970 --> 00:49:44,850
>> thank you absolutely thank
you yes yes some of

1085
00:49:44,850 --> 00:49:47,870
that water is coming from
overwatering of people's lawns.

1086
00:49:47,930 --> 00:49:49,910
So it might be a reminder since
we're at a period

1087
00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:52,150
where there is West Niles in
some standing water

1088
00:49:52,150 --> 00:49:54,310
that you help yourself and your
neighbors if you

1089
00:49:54,310 --> 00:49:56,970
identify and let people know
they're overwatering

1090
00:49:56,970 --> 00:49:59,390
going into the gutters because
that's one in this

1091
00:49:59,390 --> 00:50:00,890
time when we know there's no
rain.

1092
00:50:01,250 --> 00:50:02,750
That's one of the likely places.

1093
00:50:02,750 --> 00:50:03,810
>> Yeah, yeah,
I mean it definitely is.

1094
00:50:03,810 --> 00:50:05,630
I mean, no doubt about it,
especially as we get

1095
00:50:05,630 --> 00:50:07,510
through this heat period with
this until it

1096
00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:10,410
subsides to be extra,
extra careful. Would be great.

1097
00:50:10,510 --> 00:50:12,070
And one other thing I just
notice, I'll just

1098
00:50:12,070 --> 00:50:13,590
mention the two things that I
do, and I've seen as

1099
00:50:13,590 --> 00:50:15,570
some people in social media say
it. One is that.

1100
00:50:15,590 --> 00:50:17,130
don't park your car tires right
up against your

1101
00:50:17,130 --> 00:50:19,550
curb, and it impedes the water,
and also things

1102
00:50:19,550 --> 00:50:21,030
catch on the tires.

1103
00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:23,610
And then also,
either if you have somebody who

1104
00:50:23,610 --> 00:50:25,210
does it, or if you don't,
or maybe you have a

1105
00:50:25,210 --> 00:50:28,050
neighbor who doesn't,
if you can, people are

1106
00:50:28,050 --> 00:50:29,770
raking the stuff out of the
gutters, even

1107
00:50:29,770 --> 00:50:30,590
sometimes just leaving it.

1108
00:50:30,590 --> 00:50:33,330
letting it dry,
but to keep it from kind of being a breeding ground.

1109
00:50:33,450 --> 00:50:34,950
All righty, thank you.

1110
00:50:35,070 --> 00:50:35,970
City manager,
I think you were still going.

1111
00:50:35,970 --> 00:50:36,850
>> Great extra tips there.

1112
00:50:36,850 --> 00:50:38,950
Thank you, Mayor Duncan.
Next slide, please.

1113
00:50:39,830 --> 00:50:41,930
And then second,
just want to share on a broad

1114
00:50:41,930 --> 00:50:43,930
brush stroke some of the work
we're doing for El Nino.

1115
00:50:44,170 --> 00:50:45,590
We talked about this bit.

1116
00:50:45,590 --> 00:50:47,090
at the last meeting.

1117
00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:49,170
But we continue,
this is very top of mind.

1118
00:50:49,470 --> 00:50:51,550
I think this is in the media
consistently.

1119
00:50:52,310 --> 00:50:55,510
We are, of course,
very concerned with our

1120
00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:58,810
topography and how we operate
naturally, being at

1121
00:50:58,810 --> 00:51:00,330
sea level,
being surrounded by water.

1122
00:51:00,590 --> 00:51:03,930
So just three top line points,
things we're working on.

1123
00:51:04,870 --> 00:51:06,950
We are working on operational
readiness.

1124
00:51:07,310 --> 00:51:10,330
This is something that is part
of our annual work

1125
00:51:10,330 --> 00:51:12,410
plan,
but we have coordinated with the National

1126
00:51:12,410 --> 00:51:15,450
Weather Service and
appreciation to Chief Summers.

1127
00:51:15,590 --> 00:51:17,690
for bringing someone down to
City Hall last week

1128
00:51:17,690 --> 00:51:19,430
to really talk to us and make
sure on a staff

1129
00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:21,650
level we have a strong
understanding of the

1130
00:51:21,650 --> 00:51:24,010
indicia and the effects of El
Nino so to really

1131
00:51:24,010 --> 00:51:26,950
strengthen our understanding of
what to look and what to expect.

1132
00:51:28,210 --> 00:51:30,570
Our internal EOC coordination,
that is a point of progress.

1133
00:51:30,590 --> 00:51:32,490
for the city of Coronado.

1134
00:51:32,710 --> 00:51:35,370
We have very much been built
and been thinking

1135
00:51:35,370 --> 00:51:39,090
about self-sufficiency in
Coronado being ready to

1136
00:51:39,090 --> 00:51:40,250
help and serve Coronado.

1137
00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:42,010
With that said,
there's always rooms for

1138
00:51:42,010 --> 00:51:45,250
improvement and again
outstanding chief summers

1139
00:51:45,250 --> 00:51:47,830
and Chief Connolly,
as well if she's standing I

1140
00:51:47,830 --> 00:51:50,290
want to mention in the fire
department, takes this very seriously.

1141
00:51:50,610 --> 00:51:52,710
So we're always looking at our
plans, how do we

1142
00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:55,550
upgrade,
how do we refine our response plans, how

1143
00:51:55,550 --> 00:51:56,710
do we tailor them?

1144
00:51:56,710 --> 00:51:58,530
So that's something on a very
active work.

1145
00:51:59,170 --> 00:52:01,690
The next one is our mayor in
city council members,

1146
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:04,050
if the community didn't know,
our mayor and

1147
00:52:04,050 --> 00:52:06,350
council are very engaged in
this is in well, as well.

1148
00:52:06,850 --> 00:52:08,830
So they do an annual training,
we're going to get

1149
00:52:08,830 --> 00:52:10,830
that scheduled for you again as
a reminder for

1150
00:52:10,830 --> 00:52:13,250
your role in a disaster and
emergency, what you'll

1151
00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:15,190
be doing and and how you can be.

1152
00:52:15,590 --> 00:52:19,250
very helpful from a policy
perspective and a communications perspective.

1153
00:52:19,550 --> 00:52:21,230
So thank you in advance for
attending that.

1154
00:52:22,410 --> 00:52:25,590
Our storm response
capabilities, we continue, I

1155
00:52:25,590 --> 00:52:29,130
reference this to level up on
our sandbag

1156
00:52:29,130 --> 00:52:31,670
distribution planning that is
always a big event

1157
00:52:31,670 --> 00:52:33,170
when we do that around town.

1158
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:35,770
So how does our locations work?

1159
00:52:36,010 --> 00:52:38,510
How do we work with when we're
sequencing the

1160
00:52:38,510 --> 00:52:40,990
release of those sandbags,
et cetera, what we can

1161
00:52:40,990 --> 00:52:42,830
do to make that very effective
and make sure it's

1162
00:52:42,830 --> 00:52:45,430
shared equitably around town as
well.

1163
00:52:45,590 --> 00:52:48,370
Road intersection closure
planning, I'm really

1164
00:52:48,370 --> 00:52:50,730
proud of the advances we've had
in this, rather

1165
00:52:50,730 --> 00:52:53,310
than being ad hoc,
which we've been at times.

1166
00:52:53,550 --> 00:52:55,610
So, we have an issue,
let's figure it out.

1167
00:52:55,930 --> 00:52:58,050
We now have a classification
system, we've got

1168
00:52:58,050 --> 00:53:00,570
protocols,
we have a way that we can tailor the system

1169
00:53:00,590 --> 00:53:03,810
the response for what's
happening on scene and a

1170
00:53:03,810 --> 00:53:08,330
really great communication
guidelines around that too.

1171
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:11,470
The third bullet point under
this one we do have

1172
00:53:11,470 --> 00:53:14,150
some real improvements in our
systems what we have to offer.

1173
00:53:14,410 --> 00:53:15,590
One is Parker Punt Station.

1174
00:53:15,590 --> 00:53:17,090
is up and running.

1175
00:53:17,130 --> 00:53:20,330
So we had took over operation,
I want to say a

1176
00:53:20,330 --> 00:53:21,930
month ago or so.

1177
00:53:22,190 --> 00:53:23,690
So we're now operating the new
Parker.

1178
00:53:24,130 --> 00:53:26,410
The project is ongoing as we
dismantle the old

1179
00:53:26,410 --> 00:53:29,490
Parker and we'll get everything
buttoned up on the

1180
00:53:29,490 --> 00:53:32,570
surface now looking to be early
November for that.

1181
00:53:33,050 --> 00:53:34,350
But that's that's great because
we're going to

1182
00:53:34,350 --> 00:53:36,930
have a reliable pump station
online.

1183
00:53:37,170 --> 00:53:38,230
This is very good.

1184
00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:39,730
We're also at five points.

1185
00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:42,670
We're working on a temporary
drainage system and

1186
00:53:42,670 --> 00:53:45,570
you know kudos to Leon First,
the director of public health.

1187
00:53:45,590 --> 00:53:47,830
services and engineering for
that innovation this

1188
00:53:47,830 --> 00:53:49,330
year that will be new and
different.

1189
00:53:49,730 --> 00:53:51,590
So we're able to really toggle
on and off very

1190
00:53:51,590 --> 00:53:54,510
quickly a response because as
we know the tides

1191
00:53:54,510 --> 00:53:56,870
come up and we've got volumes
of rain, these

1192
00:53:56,870 --> 00:54:01,050
intersections can feel quickly
and so having that

1193
00:54:01,050 --> 00:54:03,650
mitigation measure in place is
going to be wonderful.

1194
00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:06,890
Next one, appreciation to SDG&E.

1195
00:54:07,170 --> 00:54:08,670
There's a switch at first and a.

1196
00:54:08,850 --> 00:54:14,310
It's that big green box by the
entrance lane into the ferry landing.

1197
00:54:14,610 --> 00:54:15,590
They've now ripped it up.

1198
00:54:15,590 --> 00:54:17,130
that updated it,
it's now waterproof.

1199
00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:20,630
So even if we do tend,
it's a very low-line point,

1200
00:54:20,810 --> 00:54:24,030
we tend to have water pooling,
but it's waterproof two years ago.

1201
00:54:24,530 --> 00:54:26,850
We had water inundation,
it blew, and we lost

1202
00:54:26,850 --> 00:54:28,350
power to the area.

1203
00:54:28,490 --> 00:54:30,450
And so that's a real positive
here.

1204
00:54:30,590 --> 00:54:33,010
And then finally here on this
list, not saying

1205
00:54:33,010 --> 00:54:35,210
this is a comprehensive list,
but just some points

1206
00:54:35,210 --> 00:54:38,230
that are a direct response to
challenges we've

1207
00:54:38,230 --> 00:54:41,490
experienced is we've purchased
a set of movable

1208
00:54:41,490 --> 00:54:44,410
barricades so we can do hard
intersection closures.

1209
00:54:44,870 --> 00:54:46,470
Sometimes when we would try to
have flooding we

1210
00:54:46,470 --> 00:54:47,970
would either have to man the
intersection with a

1211
00:54:47,970 --> 00:54:51,310
police officer or we would have
a frames and it

1212
00:54:51,310 --> 00:54:53,050
would work to let people know
but it wouldn't

1213
00:54:53,050 --> 00:54:55,470
really prevent traffic from
going through flooded

1214
00:54:55,470 --> 00:54:58,130
areas and creating waves and
other externalities

1215
00:54:58,130 --> 00:55:01,350
and so now with these these
barricades we can drop

1216
00:55:01,350 --> 00:55:03,510
them in place and deploy them
as needed and it's

1217
00:55:03,510 --> 00:55:06,810
really going to prevent damage
to adjacent

1218
00:55:06,810 --> 00:55:09,070
properties as well as save our
safety resources.

1219
00:55:09,310 --> 00:55:11,310
We don't need to have for
instance five officers

1220
00:55:11,310 --> 00:55:14,030
at five points trying to keep
that button down.

1221
00:55:14,750 --> 00:55:17,470
So a lot of an We've been
thinking hard about this.

1222
00:55:17,930 --> 00:55:19,430
And then finally,
and then I'll move on.

1223
00:55:19,470 --> 00:55:21,970
Just coordination with the
regional partners is tremendous.

1224
00:55:22,390 --> 00:55:24,550
And the Navy,
thank you so much for staying.

1225
00:55:25,310 --> 00:55:27,590
Have always been wonderful
partners and always

1226
00:55:27,590 --> 00:55:28,550
saying, what can we do?

1227
00:55:28,550 --> 00:55:32,810
How can we share resources and
show up with them? for the community. So that's great.

1228
00:55:33,470 --> 00:55:35,570
And then a final thing before I
move on is just a

1229
00:55:35,570 --> 00:55:37,210
plug at your next meeting.

1230
00:55:38,410 --> 00:55:42,550
I have planned for a discussion
on emergency communications coming back.

1231
00:55:42,730 --> 00:55:48,290
This is an item that came up
after The threat of tsunami had happened.

1232
00:55:48,430 --> 00:55:50,170
It didn't really result in
anything happening

1233
00:55:50,170 --> 00:55:52,730
here,
but it raised enough questions and Council

1234
00:55:52,730 --> 00:55:55,850
Member Stewart had brought a
policy to forward to

1235
00:55:55,850 --> 00:55:57,990
want to really talk about our
mass communication

1236
00:55:57,990 --> 00:56:01,230
systems as well as our hard
infrastructure to help us communicate.

1237
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:04,190
So that is we've been very
diligent working on

1238
00:56:04,190 --> 00:56:06,170
that continuously and it's to
the point we're

1239
00:56:06,170 --> 00:56:09,030
ready to share that with the
community and I'm

1240
00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:12,070
we're very excited again kudos
to our safety

1241
00:56:12,070 --> 00:56:13,890
partners in the back who've
done a ton of work on

1242
00:56:13,890 --> 00:56:16,390
this so I plan on that being
October October 6th,

1243
00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:18,430
barring any other thing coming
up to Burden Fat,

1244
00:56:18,910 --> 00:56:20,610
but just again,
want the community to know that

1245
00:56:20,610 --> 00:56:22,110
this is top of mind for us.

1246
00:56:22,330 --> 00:56:24,730
We work on this consistently
and you're going to

1247
00:56:24,730 --> 00:56:26,990
be hearing more and more
information as we go forward.

1248
00:56:27,850 --> 00:56:30,570
Okay, so I,
and I think I have one more on slide please.

1249
00:56:32,330 --> 00:56:34,650
community awareness,
so kind of just reflecting

1250
00:56:34,650 --> 00:56:37,990
what I just said,
our project Coronado page will be a source.

1251
00:56:38,210 --> 00:56:40,870
We've had tips on there for a
long time, so we

1252
00:56:40,870 --> 00:56:42,690
encourage everyone,
check it out, just refresh

1253
00:56:42,690 --> 00:56:45,570
yourself,
think about what you can do now with a longer horizon.

1254
00:56:45,590 --> 00:56:47,530
and until maybe rains are here.

1255
00:56:49,130 --> 00:56:50,890
And follow us on social media,
Facebook,

1256
00:56:51,110 --> 00:56:53,490
Instagram,
we'll be sharing information, and stay tuned.

1257
00:56:53,650 --> 00:56:56,850
We will be talking about this
all fall and look forward to that.

1258
00:56:57,450 --> 00:56:59,110
Okay,
and then I don't have a slide for this, but

1259
00:56:59,110 --> 00:57:00,590
I did want to spend, I've just.

1260
00:57:00,590 --> 00:57:03,550
a few moments talking about the
odor issue that we

1261
00:57:03,550 --> 00:57:07,550
had last Thursday and just to
kind of share how

1262
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:11,190
the city responded where things
are and so we were

1263
00:57:11,190 --> 00:57:13,830
receiving reports coming into
our dispatch around

1264
00:57:13,830 --> 00:57:16,810
an odor and it ends up up being
the report being

1265
00:57:16,810 --> 00:57:18,090
it was like island-wide.

1266
00:57:18,090 --> 00:57:20,610
We were hearing it about in the
village all the

1267
00:57:20,610 --> 00:57:24,170
way down to the case and so I
appreciate again the

1268
00:57:24,170 --> 00:57:26,530
partnership we had several
points of contact with

1269
00:57:26,530 --> 00:57:28,550
the Navy talking about is there
something

1270
00:57:28,550 --> 00:57:30,570
happening there that could be
creating it.

1271
00:57:30,590 --> 00:57:33,890
Our fire department does have
air monitoring

1272
00:57:33,890 --> 00:57:36,510
equipment that they deployed in
certain areas to

1273
00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:39,930
see,
do we have detectable levels of anything

1274
00:57:39,930 --> 00:57:42,930
that's airborne that could harm
our community, and

1275
00:57:42,930 --> 00:57:44,670
we had negative readings from
that.

1276
00:57:45,590 --> 00:57:48,170
up even calling the Coast Guard
because we were

1277
00:57:48,170 --> 00:57:49,790
hearing reports there may have
been something in

1278
00:57:49,790 --> 00:57:51,470
the ocean that can affect it.

1279
00:57:51,630 --> 00:57:53,610
And I can say today it's not
been identified.

1280
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:57,250
So we do not know the source of
the odor on Thursday.

1281
00:57:57,810 --> 00:58:00,950
However,
I am proud that we did coordinate very well. well.

1282
00:58:01,470 --> 00:58:04,170
We did what we could do as a
city and there's

1283
00:58:04,170 --> 00:58:06,050
still additional work in
investigation happening.

1284
00:58:06,590 --> 00:58:08,130
So I just wanted to let people
know that the

1285
00:58:08,130 --> 00:58:10,510
overall sequence of events on
that and we continue

1286
00:58:10,510 --> 00:58:13,390
to explore and figure out what
exactly happened.

1287
00:58:15,610 --> 00:58:17,790
>> your Imperial Beach report
the same?

1288
00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:20,310
I mean I'm just curious because
everybody smelt it

1289
00:58:20,310 --> 00:58:21,590
up and down the entire city.

1290
00:58:21,590 --> 00:58:24,430
>> I did not hear I will look
and no I'm seeing heads shaking no.

1291
00:58:24,770 --> 00:58:25,150
>> No.

1292
00:58:25,150 --> 00:58:26,650
>> Okay yeah thank you.

1293
00:58:27,250 --> 00:58:29,390
>> Okay and with that that
concludes my presentation.

1294
00:58:29,710 --> 00:58:31,210
Thank you Mayor Duncan.

1295
00:58:31,270 --> 00:58:32,770
>> Thank you very much.

1296
00:58:32,950 --> 00:58:34,450
Appreciate the report out.

1297
00:58:34,990 --> 00:58:38,770
So we'll move on to item 8
which is 8a I should

1298
00:58:38,770 --> 00:58:40,270
say which is our council report.

1299
00:58:40,490 --> 00:58:44,770
It's on interagency assignments
and if we have

1300
00:58:44,770 --> 00:58:46,970
anything else on board
commission and advisory

1301
00:58:46,970 --> 00:58:48,850
committee reports which is
listed as number nine

1302
00:58:48,850 --> 00:58:51,650
we could also do that now as
well so are there any

1303
00:58:51,650 --> 00:58:54,030
report out so start with
council member steward

1304
00:58:54,030 --> 00:58:59,970
>> please thank you highlight
for me last week was

1305
00:58:59,970 --> 00:59:03,890
the 25th anniversary of 9-11
hosted by our fire department.

1306
00:59:05,230 --> 00:59:07,190
It is always a moving ceremony.

1307
00:59:07,450 --> 00:59:10,230
I kind of fight back tears,
especially with the bagpipe.

1308
00:59:10,370 --> 00:59:11,870
I think it really kind of hits.

1309
00:59:12,770 --> 00:59:14,930
And it's just a good reminder
for everyone.

1310
00:59:15,590 --> 00:59:20,190
that what our first responders
are prepared to do every day.

1311
00:59:21,670 --> 00:59:25,730
Also yesterday on a different
note I attended Cal

1312
00:59:25,730 --> 00:59:28,270
Cities at the San Diego Food
Bank.

1313
00:59:28,570 --> 00:59:32,130
You may know that September is
Hunger Awareness Month.

1314
00:59:32,810 --> 00:59:35,650
And so I had the opportunity to
visit and learn

1315
00:59:35,650 --> 00:59:37,110
more about what they were doing.

1316
00:59:37,110 --> 00:59:39,550
I've been there before with
students, but it was

1317
00:59:39,550 --> 00:59:43,390
established in 1977 so they're
coming up next year

1318
00:59:43,390 --> 00:59:46,010
on their 50th anniversary,
which was was really

1319
00:59:46,010 --> 00:59:47,330
fun to hear about.

1320
00:59:47,330 --> 00:59:48,830
They're getting excited about
it.

1321
00:59:48,950 --> 00:59:50,710
But I think just some quick
facts for us to

1322
00:59:50,710 --> 00:59:53,470
remember is that one in four
people are nutrition

1323
00:59:53,470 --> 00:59:56,870
insecure in San Diego County
and the San Diego

1324
00:59:56,870 --> 01:00:00,570
Food Bank serves over 400,000
people each month.

1325
01:00:00,590 --> 01:00:04,510
and they support more than 450
non-profits who

1326
01:00:04,510 --> 01:00:07,290
also provide food to meet the
need.

1327
01:00:08,670 --> 01:00:12,270
They are literally the food
safety net for San

1328
01:00:12,270 --> 01:00:16,030
Diego County,
and I had the privilege of packing

1329
01:00:16,030 --> 01:00:19,690
bags of apples for about 45
minutes for seniors.

1330
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:22,030
It was a lot of fun to
participate.

1331
01:00:23,670 --> 01:00:27,090
And next week,
Council Member Purvis and I'll talk

1332
01:00:27,090 --> 01:00:28,170
maybe about this, too.

1333
01:00:28,170 --> 01:00:30,570
We're headed to Anaheim for the
annual CalCIS.

1334
01:00:32,350 --> 01:00:35,390
conference along with our city
manager so we're

1335
01:00:35,390 --> 01:00:37,810
really looking forward to that
and I also wanted

1336
01:00:37,810 --> 01:00:41,990
to announce that I was
appointed this past week to

1337
01:00:41,990 --> 01:00:44,230
serve as the vice chair for the
Cal City's

1338
01:00:44,230 --> 01:00:45,890
Environmental Quality Policy
Committee. committee.

1339
01:00:46,650 --> 01:00:48,850
And I think what's really
important about this is

1340
01:00:48,850 --> 01:00:52,330
having a Coronado
representative is really

1341
01:00:52,330 --> 01:00:53,570
important for our region.

1342
01:00:53,570 --> 01:00:55,070
So I'm really looking forward
to this appointment.

1343
01:00:57,590 --> 01:00:58,530
>> All right,
do you think you're the report out?

1344
01:00:58,530 --> 01:01:00,410
Any other council members?
Councilmember Purvis?

1345
01:01:01,910 --> 01:01:04,670
>> Yes, very briefly,
I think all of us were at the

1346
01:01:04,670 --> 01:01:09,410
9-11 ceremony last week,
and 25 years seems like

1347
01:01:09,410 --> 01:01:10,910
it was just yesterday.

1348
01:01:11,090 --> 01:01:12,910
And I walked down that morning
and opened my

1349
01:01:12,910 --> 01:01:15,570
dishwasher,
I had done it in the same kitchen 25 years ago.

1350
01:01:15,590 --> 01:01:17,470
And I remember that feeling.

1351
01:01:17,810 --> 01:01:20,410
And just thank you to our
community for all who came out.

1352
01:01:20,490 --> 01:01:21,990
It was a beautiful ceremony.

1353
01:01:22,590 --> 01:01:24,770
Cal Cities next week,
interesting enough, there'll

1354
01:01:24,770 --> 01:01:28,830
be a resolution that the
Housing Committee, policy

1355
01:01:28,830 --> 01:01:30,330
committee, will be considering.

1356
01:01:30,590 --> 01:01:33,850
was put in at the last minute
and it's regarding local control.

1357
01:01:34,470 --> 01:01:36,010
So I'm starting through that
now and have a

1358
01:01:36,010 --> 01:01:39,030
meeting on Thursday and we'll
be voting on a resolution.

1359
01:01:39,730 --> 01:01:42,030
And I'm assuming all of us are
wanting as much

1360
01:01:42,030 --> 01:01:43,530
local control as we can get.

1361
01:01:44,030 --> 01:01:45,570
But I will send any information
I want to.

1362
01:01:45,590 --> 01:01:47,670
have prior to that vote to you
and if they have

1363
01:01:47,670 --> 01:01:49,170
comments I'd love to hear them.

1364
01:01:49,770 --> 01:01:52,150
And there was no wastewater
this month but we are

1365
01:01:52,150 --> 01:01:55,070
signed off on Sarah and has
been delivered so

1366
01:01:55,070 --> 01:01:58,310
we're good for the next 40
years. So thank you.

1367
01:01:58,970 --> 01:02:00,470
>> Council Member Fleming.

1368
01:02:00,590 --> 01:02:04,390
>> Yeah, briefly,
just echo what's already been said

1369
01:02:04,390 --> 01:02:06,930
about the 9-11 remembered
ceremony.

1370
01:02:07,130 --> 01:02:10,170
That was amazing, very touching.

1371
01:02:10,610 --> 01:02:15,570
September 12th,
I just wanted to put a shout out to Cade.

1372
01:02:15,590 --> 01:02:20,130
Day,
annual fundraiser to support suicide

1373
01:02:20,130 --> 01:02:22,590
awareness and provide
scholarships to welders.

1374
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:25,890
It was at McPease again,
a great event.

1375
01:02:26,650 --> 01:02:30,190
And then September 14th,
I participated in a

1376
01:02:30,190 --> 01:02:31,830
meeting with the National
League of Cities.

1377
01:02:32,410 --> 01:02:34,410
I'm on the Military Communities
Council.

1378
01:02:34,870 --> 01:02:37,890
The focus of that,
the discussions were primarily

1379
01:02:37,890 --> 01:02:43,890
on affordable housing for
military personnel, also providing local transportation.

1380
01:02:45,590 --> 01:02:50,070
options for servicemen and
women that in

1381
01:02:50,070 --> 01:02:54,190
particular that don't have an
automobile and and

1382
01:02:54,190 --> 01:02:59,190
then also a discussion about
upcoming NLC City

1383
01:02:59,190 --> 01:03:02,550
Summit which is in National
this year in November. Thank you.

1384
01:03:03,470 --> 01:03:05,710
>> Thank you.
Council Member Downey, do you have anything today?

1385
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:11,930
>> I do.
As I pointed out in my report in the agenda, I had

1386
01:03:11,930 --> 01:03:17,070
the National League of Cities
Environmental Energy

1387
01:03:17,070 --> 01:03:19,710
Natural Resources Committee
meeting and our

1388
01:03:19,710 --> 01:03:22,930
committee approved the
resolution that we've now

1389
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:25,530
put forth for the National
League to take for our

1390
01:03:25,530 --> 01:03:28,270
policy in regards to continuing
to encourage the

1391
01:03:28,270 --> 01:03:30,570
federal government to support
the efforts to get full funding.

1392
01:03:30,590 --> 01:03:34,950
for the IBWC plan as well as to
encourage Mexico

1393
01:03:34,950 --> 01:03:36,790
to build their facilities.

1394
01:03:37,350 --> 01:03:39,870
But what was interesting for
the first time in all

1395
01:03:39,870 --> 01:03:43,070
the years,
we now have a new member on the

1396
01:03:43,070 --> 01:03:45,410
committee from another city in
San Diego.

1397
01:03:45,590 --> 01:03:48,810
who showed up and was unaware
how long we've been doing this.

1398
01:03:49,110 --> 01:03:51,910
I was unaware that it was
Coronado that pushed it to be there.

1399
01:03:52,290 --> 01:03:54,790
So I got to educate that person
after the meeting.

1400
01:03:55,550 --> 01:03:56,930
And she said,
why are we the only ones here?

1401
01:03:56,930 --> 01:03:58,830
I said,
that's a question I've been asking for a long time.

1402
01:03:59,510 --> 01:04:00,590
So both of us have decided.

1403
01:04:00,590 --> 01:04:02,730
especially since I'm leaving,
at least for a

1404
01:04:02,730 --> 01:04:04,790
little while, the council,
that there is no reason

1405
01:04:04,790 --> 01:04:07,830
every city couldn't have
somebody on this subcommittee.

1406
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:10,650
So that'll be my action for the
next couple of

1407
01:04:10,650 --> 01:04:13,050
months to talk to every city to
say, why don't you have somebody?

1408
01:04:13,470 --> 01:04:15,570
Because you do not have to be
the problem.

1409
01:04:15,590 --> 01:04:18,050
primary representative from
your city to the

1410
01:04:18,050 --> 01:04:20,570
National League,
it could be anybody else as long

1411
01:04:20,570 --> 01:04:23,290
as you're an elected
councilperson. So that's great.

1412
01:04:23,450 --> 01:04:25,810
We'll have several more people
helping to put the

1413
01:04:25,810 --> 01:04:28,070
word out how important this is
to our region.

1414
01:04:28,730 --> 01:04:30,430
>> Awesome. Thank you very much.

1415
01:04:30,990 --> 01:04:34,670
interesting to think about,
there should be some

1416
01:04:34,670 --> 01:04:36,550
way probably even though I
speak about it at

1417
01:04:36,550 --> 01:04:38,710
Sandag,
you speak about National League, various

1418
01:04:38,710 --> 01:04:41,510
League of Cities,
different things, to maybe we

1419
01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:43,450
even put out something in
writing maybe after our

1420
01:04:43,450 --> 01:04:45,570
quarterly report or something
to various...

1421
01:04:45,590 --> 01:04:47,090
stakeholders in all the cities.

1422
01:04:47,110 --> 01:04:49,330
We have been fortunate that the
Congress members

1423
01:04:49,330 --> 01:04:52,330
from San Diego have also been
supportive but I do

1424
01:04:52,330 --> 01:04:54,010
find the more information the
better because even

1425
01:04:54,010 --> 01:04:56,150
when we put it out sometimes
like very like almost

1426
01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:57,510
immediately there after I'll be
getting the same

1427
01:04:57,510 --> 01:04:59,850
questions that we just address
from people I get

1428
01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:00,590
it everybody doesn't watch it.

1429
01:05:00,590 --> 01:05:02,290
our meetings and everybody
doesn't read everything.

1430
01:05:03,110 --> 01:05:05,050
So I appreciate you doing that.
Thank you.

1431
01:05:06,870 --> 01:05:09,410
I,
two quick sort of serious things and then one

1432
01:05:09,410 --> 01:05:13,130
more happy thing I guess,
one is I do appreciate

1433
01:05:13,130 --> 01:05:15,110
Mark and mentioning Kade's Day,
the anti-suicide.

1434
01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:18,510
awareness event where it's a
serious event but

1435
01:05:18,510 --> 01:05:20,330
also it's fun with the cornhole
tournament and

1436
01:05:20,330 --> 01:05:23,430
everything and our friends
Megan Keller and Brian

1437
01:05:23,430 --> 01:05:25,990
is well working on that issue
especially with all

1438
01:05:25,990 --> 01:05:28,330
the the suicides related to
kids in military which

1439
01:05:28,330 --> 01:05:31,710
is and our bridge issue of
course so I do think

1440
01:05:31,710 --> 01:05:34,490
that was a great event and very
well attended by

1441
01:05:34,490 --> 01:05:37,610
our community,
so I appreciate their showing up

1442
01:05:37,610 --> 01:05:40,610
for that and participating in
raising funds.

1443
01:05:41,290 --> 01:05:43,670
The other thing I want to try,
of course, the RFIR

1444
01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:45,570
Department's ceremony on 9-11.

1445
01:05:45,590 --> 01:05:46,890
11 is really meaningful.

1446
01:05:46,890 --> 01:05:49,230
I like that it's small and
local and it's not

1447
01:05:49,230 --> 01:05:52,750
about a big splash and flash
and it is very meaningful.

1448
01:05:53,450 --> 01:05:56,010
Also it was the first time
later on that afternoon

1449
01:05:56,010 --> 01:06:00,570
on 9-11 that Graham Memorial
hosted a non-denominational memorial service.

1450
01:06:00,590 --> 01:06:05,910
us at the church,
which also I felt was very meaningful as well.

1451
01:06:06,230 --> 01:06:09,010
So maybe that'll become part of
our tradition as

1452
01:06:09,010 --> 01:06:11,830
well,
because there's quite a few personal

1453
01:06:11,830 --> 01:06:13,670
experiences that occurred in
our community from

1454
01:06:13,670 --> 01:06:15,570
people on 9-11,
probably all of us.

1455
01:06:15,590 --> 01:06:19,050
us have various people we know
who either didn't

1456
01:06:19,050 --> 01:06:21,550
make it and fortunately we have
somebody who was

1457
01:06:21,550 --> 01:06:24,210
probably the most injured
person that actually

1458
01:06:24,210 --> 01:06:27,870
made it who's a resident of
Cornado who was in the

1459
01:06:27,870 --> 01:06:31,190
Pentagon when it was hit and As
you know, I

1460
01:06:31,190 --> 01:06:32,690
probably know,
burned over within half his body

1461
01:06:32,690 --> 01:06:35,310
and heart stopped twice along
the way of recovery,

1462
01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:37,250
multiple and multiple other
things.

1463
01:06:37,330 --> 01:06:40,930
So it's really his message is
to make sure we

1464
01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:43,690
don't forget about it with all
of the people that

1465
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:45,470
were not alive back then.

1466
01:06:45,590 --> 01:06:47,850
from when it happened and try
to remember the

1467
01:06:47,850 --> 01:06:50,770
lessons of our community and
our country coming together afterwards.

1468
01:06:52,750 --> 01:06:57,450
Then on a more fun, happy note,
I just had a few

1469
01:06:57,450 --> 01:06:58,950
brief pictures I just wanted to
share.

1470
01:06:59,550 --> 01:07:04,070
So, um, We had,
just coincidentally, I saw an

1471
01:07:04,070 --> 01:07:04,850
email from the U.S.

1472
01:07:04,850 --> 01:07:07,350
Conference of Mayors from FIFA
saying you could

1473
01:07:07,350 --> 01:07:10,490
apply for soccer balls for your
community.

1474
01:07:10,730 --> 01:07:12,870
If you think your community
would like to

1475
01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:15,490
celebrate the World Cup and
FIFA and if they're

1476
01:07:15,490 --> 01:07:16,990
going, an active community.
I applied.

1477
01:07:17,570 --> 01:07:19,350
As a city manager knows,
I didn't hear anything

1478
01:07:19,350 --> 01:07:20,570
for a couple months.

1479
01:07:20,570 --> 01:07:23,870
Then on the day before the last
World Cup game, we

1480
01:07:23,870 --> 01:07:25,830
had 200 soccer balls arrive.

1481
01:07:26,570 --> 01:07:29,150
And they were put in my office
here at City Hall.

1482
01:07:29,970 --> 01:07:31,090
And they were in my office.

1483
01:07:31,090 --> 01:07:33,310
uninflated but we managed to
get them all inflated

1484
01:07:33,310 --> 01:07:35,270
and as council knows we gave
away a group of them

1485
01:07:35,270 --> 01:07:38,210
when we opened the new dog park
at the K's but

1486
01:07:38,210 --> 01:07:39,930
over the last week it was
something that was

1487
01:07:39,930 --> 01:07:42,470
really nice I was able to go to
Village Elementary

1488
01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:44,510
and meet with the fifth graders
and go out there

1489
01:07:44,510 --> 01:07:46,010
mess around with them a little
bit.

1490
01:07:46,030 --> 01:07:48,970
and leave those, you know,
50 or 60, whatever it

1491
01:07:48,970 --> 01:07:50,310
was, soccer balls with them.

1492
01:07:50,310 --> 01:07:53,110
I was able to go to
Christchurch Day School for

1493
01:07:53,110 --> 01:07:55,670
their flagpole ceremony and do
the same thing and

1494
01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:59,950
also to Sacred Heart yesterday
and do this the same thing.

1495
01:08:00,510 --> 01:08:04,490
really the reason I kind of
wanted to bring it up today.

1496
01:08:04,770 --> 01:08:07,050
Because also after the Sacred
Heart ceremony

1497
01:08:07,050 --> 01:08:10,070
yesterday that's shown there,
I did, and I think

1498
01:08:10,070 --> 01:08:12,110
they would love to have others
to it as well, at

1499
01:08:12,110 --> 01:08:13,310
Christchurch Day School,
they have a thing called

1500
01:08:13,310 --> 01:08:15,490
master class,
where they just take any...

1501
01:08:15,510 --> 01:08:17,110
you know,
a person from the community who's

1502
01:08:17,110 --> 01:08:19,210
willing to talk about how they
got to where they

1503
01:08:19,210 --> 01:08:20,310
are and what they do.

1504
01:08:20,310 --> 01:08:22,130
So for me, obviously,
it was being mayor and city

1505
01:08:22,130 --> 01:08:24,810
council member with you all and
a little bit about

1506
01:08:24,810 --> 01:08:26,310
my career as an attorney before
that.

1507
01:08:26,850 --> 01:08:29,670
But something that I really
realize that sometimes

1508
01:08:29,670 --> 01:08:30,930
we forget because we think we
have spend all our

1509
01:08:30,930 --> 01:08:33,770
times kind of working on
problems and sometimes

1510
01:08:33,770 --> 01:08:36,250
looking at you know social
media or talking and I

1511
01:08:36,250 --> 01:08:39,410
know it's election season so
the one thing that I

1512
01:08:39,410 --> 01:08:43,450
really realized doing this was
afterwards people

1513
01:08:43,450 --> 01:08:45,910
reach out in some of the
comments comments while I

1514
01:08:45,910 --> 01:08:47,490
was there,
but afterwards people reach out, often

1515
01:08:47,490 --> 01:08:48,630
not the ones I don't know.

1516
01:08:48,630 --> 01:08:50,130
I mean,
often it is the ones I don't know.

1517
01:08:50,770 --> 01:08:52,890
And they say that it means
something for us as

1518
01:08:52,890 --> 01:08:54,790
office holders to spend time
with them.

1519
01:08:54,850 --> 01:08:56,950
It's not so much us personally,
you know, even

1520
01:08:56,950 --> 01:08:58,910
though I think we all think we
try to do a great job.

1521
01:08:59,510 --> 01:09:00,510
And generally,
I think we all do.

1522
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:03,830
but it's,
they say it means something to the kids,

1523
01:09:03,970 --> 01:09:06,150
be able to talk to council
members and to talk to

1524
01:09:06,150 --> 01:09:07,650
the mayor and know them.

1525
01:09:08,030 --> 01:09:11,930
So that was just sort of
spiritually or whatever invigorating for me.

1526
01:09:12,130 --> 01:09:15,010
And I also just wanted to thank
the schools in

1527
01:09:15,010 --> 01:09:17,390
general because because I've
noticed an uptick

1528
01:09:17,390 --> 01:09:19,530
from the schools,
and I think all of you on

1529
01:09:19,530 --> 01:09:21,730
council today in the city
manager received an

1530
01:09:21,730 --> 01:09:24,710
invitation for the Coronado
Robotics Academy Grand

1531
01:09:24,710 --> 01:09:27,850
opening on Friday,
September 25th at 5 o'clock.

1532
01:09:28,550 --> 01:09:31,930
And I think it is,
been a little bit of disconnect maybe.

1533
01:09:32,450 --> 01:09:33,830
We obviously don't have
influence over them.

1534
01:09:33,830 --> 01:09:35,170
We're not trying to control
them or anything, but

1535
01:09:35,170 --> 01:09:38,710
to honor or respect them and to
celebrate our

1536
01:09:38,710 --> 01:09:40,330
youth and their activities with
the schools I

1537
01:09:40,330 --> 01:09:41,730
think is a great thing.

1538
01:09:41,730 --> 01:09:43,230
I wanted to let all of you
know, especially

1539
01:09:43,230 --> 01:09:45,490
Councilmember Downey,
I will be out of town on the Twitter.

1540
01:09:45,510 --> 01:09:47,850
25th, so whoever,
hopefully will have some

1541
01:09:47,850 --> 01:09:51,010
representation at that robotics
event.

1542
01:09:51,190 --> 01:09:53,170
But I wanted to thank FIFA and
the U.S.

1543
01:09:53,230 --> 01:09:54,770
Conference of Mayors and the
schools and the

1544
01:09:54,770 --> 01:09:57,250
people in the community and all
the teachers and

1545
01:09:57,250 --> 01:10:00,950
the kids for having this
happen. That's it.

1546
01:10:01,590 --> 01:10:02,830
Thank you very much.

1547
01:10:02,830 --> 01:10:04,050
And we,
unless anybody else has any other

1548
01:10:04,050 --> 01:10:09,610
reporting or comments,
we can move on to, um, and

1549
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:11,010
I guess,
I guess also one other thing.

1550
01:10:11,010 --> 01:10:13,090
I, of course,
I had a Sandag Board of meeting, of

1551
01:10:13,090 --> 01:10:14,290
course,
I had a Sandag Executive Committee

1552
01:10:14,290 --> 01:10:15,210
meeting, of course,
I had an executive committee

1553
01:10:15,210 --> 01:10:16,090
meeting, of course,
I had a pollution control

1554
01:10:16,090 --> 01:10:18,810
district board meeting,
air pollution control

1555
01:10:18,810 --> 01:10:21,410
district planning and policy
meeting as well, but

1556
01:10:21,410 --> 01:10:23,770
on the phone with the EPA and
the IBWC on things

1557
01:10:23,770 --> 01:10:26,350
that you hope have
announcements in a week and it

1558
01:10:26,350 --> 01:10:30,490
takes two months,
but I'll save like the longer report.

1559
01:10:30,510 --> 01:10:33,690
of those for the next meeting
when there's a

1560
01:10:33,690 --> 01:10:35,710
little bit more information to
share.

1561
01:10:36,350 --> 01:10:39,270
All right,
so let's move on to item 8B, which is

1562
01:10:39,270 --> 01:10:42,930
consideration of up to two
members to serve on the Civil Service Commission.

1563
01:10:43,870 --> 01:10:45,490
We're going to consider
appointment again.

1564
01:10:45,510 --> 01:10:47,750
up to two members from the
submitted applications

1565
01:10:47,750 --> 01:10:49,450
to serve on the Civil Service
Commission.

1566
01:10:50,210 --> 01:10:51,930
I really appreciated everybody
who applies.

1567
01:10:52,110 --> 01:10:54,530
I previously served on there
and was chair as well.

1568
01:10:54,730 --> 01:10:56,310
And it's an important
commission that I think a

1569
01:10:56,310 --> 01:10:58,870
lot of people don't know about
because it's more

1570
01:10:58,870 --> 01:11:01,250
deals with our employees rather
than that. in the public.

1571
01:11:02,090 --> 01:11:05,050
But we'll have the city clerk
to call the names of

1572
01:11:05,050 --> 01:11:07,470
the individuals who've
submitted applications.

1573
01:11:08,190 --> 01:11:10,490
Each individual will have up to
three minutes to

1574
01:11:10,490 --> 01:11:11,990
state their interest and
qualifications.

1575
01:11:12,670 --> 01:11:15,330
And I believe we received a
letter from one of the applicants today.

1576
01:11:15,510 --> 01:11:19,210
Maybe I'll read that letter if
he is not here and

1577
01:11:19,210 --> 01:11:22,070
Lewis hit of his Addressing us,
but why don't we

1578
01:11:22,070 --> 01:11:24,130
go ahead and see if anyone's
here to address this please.

1579
01:11:24,670 --> 01:11:26,770
>> Thank you mayor is Frank
Carson at the meeting

1580
01:11:28,210 --> 01:11:29,710
>> Afternoon, sir.

1581
01:11:29,710 --> 01:11:33,730
>> Thank you for being here
I'll be brief from mayor and council.

1582
01:11:34,510 --> 01:11:37,070
I applied for this mostly
because I wanted to

1583
01:11:37,070 --> 01:11:38,630
diversify my skill set.

1584
01:11:39,610 --> 01:11:42,730
As you see my resume,
I work for the Studio Chula

1585
01:11:42,730 --> 01:11:44,930
Vista right now as the Parks
and Recreation Director.

1586
01:11:45,510 --> 01:11:49,590
I actually started here in the
city of Coronado as

1587
01:11:49,590 --> 01:11:52,430
a lifeguard's instructor,
my very first city job

1588
01:11:52,430 --> 01:11:54,630
in the early 90s a long time
ago.

1589
01:11:54,930 --> 01:11:56,430
I don't want to date myself too
much.

1590
01:11:57,170 --> 01:12:00,490
I have tried to give back to
Coronado being a resident here.

1591
01:12:00,510 --> 01:12:03,770
I partnered with Council Member
Purvis twice and

1592
01:12:03,770 --> 01:12:05,810
did a public presentation with
Council Member

1593
01:12:05,810 --> 01:12:09,690
Steward talking about parks and
access to that.

1594
01:12:10,330 --> 01:12:14,990
I have a long career in public
service not only locally but internationally.

1595
01:12:16,010 --> 01:12:19,110
serving in Guatemala for a year
as a volunteer.

1596
01:12:19,930 --> 01:12:22,350
Something that I look forward
to doing and I would

1597
01:12:22,350 --> 01:12:24,270
be really interested in serving
on this commission.

1598
01:12:24,430 --> 01:12:26,210
>> All right,
thank you for your comments real quick

1599
01:12:26,210 --> 01:12:26,970
before you step away.

1600
01:12:26,970 --> 01:12:29,690
Are there any questions for the
applicant from council members?

1601
01:12:30,510 --> 01:12:32,510
Okay, Stan, thank you, sir.
We appreciate it.

1602
01:12:34,490 --> 01:12:37,610
>> Thank you, Mayor.
The next applicant is Marco Cromarty.

1603
01:12:43,090 --> 01:12:43,890
>> Good afternoon.

1604
01:12:43,890 --> 01:12:47,150
>> My honor to be here.
Came to Coronado.

1605
01:12:47,170 --> 01:12:51,350
about 15,
16 years ago after serving 30 years in the Navy.

1606
01:12:52,570 --> 01:12:56,730
I have a passion to serve
others and I served my

1607
01:12:56,730 --> 01:12:59,510
Navy for 30 years like the good
captain in the

1608
01:12:59,510 --> 01:13:02,150
naval aviation side of the
house and when I brought in the Navy

1609
01:13:02,170 --> 01:13:03,670
retired from the Navy.

1610
01:13:03,710 --> 01:13:05,510
I went to the Port of San Diego
for 10 years, got

1611
01:13:05,510 --> 01:13:09,130
to serve the region,
really felt like I was doing

1612
01:13:09,130 --> 01:13:12,930
something contributing to the
community that now I call home.

1613
01:13:13,910 --> 01:13:18,130
And now I'm at a point where I
seize I'm trying to

1614
01:13:18,130 --> 01:13:21,330
seize an opportunity to
contribute to the

1615
01:13:21,330 --> 01:13:22,830
community that I live in.

1616
01:13:23,170 --> 01:13:26,710
I've been in the case for the
last 10 years and love it.

1617
01:13:27,430 --> 01:13:30,010
I love the city of Coronado and
I feel like my

1618
01:13:30,010 --> 01:13:32,150
background puts me in a
position to where I can live

1619
01:13:32,170 --> 01:13:35,610
can contribute to help the city
and help the

1620
01:13:35,610 --> 01:13:39,730
employees and try to make this
place one of the

1621
01:13:39,730 --> 01:13:41,350
best places that folks want to
work for.

1622
01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:45,590
And so I'm honored to be
considered and look

1623
01:13:45,590 --> 01:13:47,510
forward to serving if I'm also
offered the

1624
01:13:47,510 --> 01:13:49,430
opportunity and I'm welcome.

1625
01:13:49,830 --> 01:13:53,050
I'm open to any questions that
you may have. Thank you sir.

1626
01:13:53,210 --> 01:13:54,630
Are there any questions?

1627
01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:55,870
>> Councilmember Downey,
did you have one?

1628
01:13:55,870 --> 01:13:59,090
>> I didn't.
I had meant to ask the city manager before we

1629
01:13:59,090 --> 01:14:02,150
started this so after we're
done with this individual.

1630
01:14:02,170 --> 01:14:05,070
So before we vote,
can I have her say something? Of course.

1631
01:14:06,090 --> 01:14:07,110
>> All right, thank you, sir.

1632
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:08,610
We appreciate you being here.

1633
01:14:09,850 --> 01:14:10,750
They have one other.

1634
01:14:10,750 --> 01:14:12,970
Did you want to ask a question
now or after I read Dean's letter?

1635
01:14:13,590 --> 01:14:16,010
>> Go ahead and read Dean's
letter so that we can do all that.

1636
01:14:16,010 --> 01:14:17,170
>> So we have a total of three.

1637
01:14:17,170 --> 01:14:19,350
three applicants I believe
correct so the two

1638
01:14:19,350 --> 01:14:21,030
gentlemen who just spoke and
then one other is

1639
01:14:21,030 --> 01:14:24,190
Dean Echneroth Jr.
I'm writing to address you with

1640
01:14:24,190 --> 01:14:26,150
regard to an open position on
the Coronado City of

1641
01:14:26,150 --> 01:14:28,830
the whole Service Commission
and my interest to

1642
01:14:28,830 --> 01:14:31,710
serve there upon normal
propriety would have me

1643
01:14:31,710 --> 01:14:33,350
before for you with these
comments.

1644
01:14:33,870 --> 01:14:35,670
Unfortunately,
it is a Tuesday night and our

1645
01:14:35,670 --> 01:14:39,130
weekly Coronado print deadline
has me unavoidably detained. My apologies.

1646
01:14:39,990 --> 01:14:42,070
Throughout my 36-year career
here at the Cornado

1647
01:14:42,070 --> 01:14:44,310
Eagle and Journal,
I've had a front receipt to

1648
01:14:44,310 --> 01:14:45,810
everything that has occurred in
our town.

1649
01:14:45,910 --> 01:14:47,670
This experience provides me
with the wide and deep

1650
01:14:47,670 --> 01:14:49,630
pool of knowledge and local
history that has me

1651
01:14:49,630 --> 01:14:51,550
uniquely qualified to serve the
city of Coronado

1652
01:14:51,550 --> 01:14:55,890
as this is an important phrase
to serve the city of Coronado.

1653
01:14:56,510 --> 01:14:57,970
That is my guiding light and
volunteering to fill

1654
01:14:57,970 --> 01:14:59,990
one of the open positions on
our Civil Service Commission.

1655
01:15:00,550 --> 01:15:02,150
The Civil Service Commission
plays a vital role.

1656
01:15:02,170 --> 01:15:06,210
role in maintaining a
merit-based professional and ethical workforce.

1657
01:15:06,910 --> 01:15:08,910
But the success of that is 100%
dependent upon

1658
01:15:08,910 --> 01:15:11,810
interested and invested members
of our community

1659
01:15:11,810 --> 01:15:14,670
who are willing to volunteer,
all with a focus on

1660
01:15:14,670 --> 01:15:17,010
fostering accountability and
excellence in government operations.

1661
01:15:17,490 --> 01:15:19,650
With an educational background
in philosophy and

1662
01:15:19,650 --> 01:15:22,150
it's focused on ethics,
I pride myself on strong

1663
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:25,130
ethical grounding and the
ability to make objective well-reasoned decisions.

1664
01:15:25,890 --> 01:15:27,750
I also bring to the table more
than three decades

1665
01:15:27,750 --> 01:15:30,270
of experience running a
business in Coronado with

1666
01:15:30,270 --> 01:15:32,150
all the exposure to the unique
challenges that are brought in

1667
01:15:32,170 --> 01:15:35,490
part and parcel of navigating
employee-employee relationships in California.

1668
01:15:36,230 --> 01:15:37,570
I'm always available to discuss
on my background

1669
01:15:37,570 --> 01:15:39,330
dedication and problem-solving
skills aligned with

1670
01:15:39,330 --> 01:15:40,830
the needs of the Civil Service
Commission.

1671
01:15:41,910 --> 01:15:44,190
Okay, all righty,
so we have the three applicants.

1672
01:15:45,250 --> 01:15:46,330
Councilman Downey,
do you want to ask your

1673
01:15:46,330 --> 01:15:47,170
question at this time?

1674
01:15:47,170 --> 01:15:49,470
>> Yes,
it wasn't a question for the public.

1675
01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:52,450
We're so appreciative of the
three individuals that applied.

1676
01:15:53,010 --> 01:15:55,650
This commission is not very
well understood and

1677
01:15:55,650 --> 01:15:57,270
it's so important to have the
city function.

1678
01:15:57,490 --> 01:15:59,930
So I wanted to get into the
record and so the city

1679
01:15:59,930 --> 01:16:01,870
manager will explain a little
bit about what it does.

1680
01:16:02,170 --> 01:16:03,670
Sometimes it's very busy.

1681
01:16:03,710 --> 01:16:05,250
Sometimes they don't have to
meet for months.

1682
01:16:05,570 --> 01:16:06,970
So if you could.

1683
01:16:06,970 --> 01:16:09,070
>> Absolutely. Thank you.
Council Member Downey.

1684
01:16:09,370 --> 01:16:12,470
Yeah,
so the Civil Service Commission is actually

1685
01:16:12,470 --> 01:16:14,250
codified in our municipal code.

1686
01:16:14,390 --> 01:16:17,150
You can find a description of
it in Chapter 2.4.

1687
01:16:17,170 --> 01:16:21,210
And really its primary mission
is to administer

1688
01:16:21,210 --> 01:16:22,870
our civil service rules.

1689
01:16:23,390 --> 01:16:25,750
So we have a civil service
classified service,

1690
01:16:25,870 --> 01:16:28,270
there's a set of rules,
and these community

1691
01:16:28,270 --> 01:16:32,150
volunteers make sure that we
are abiding by them.

1692
01:16:32,170 --> 01:16:34,550
So the typical work,
well first I'll read the

1693
01:16:34,550 --> 01:16:36,570
mission statement and this is
set forth in their

1694
01:16:36,570 --> 01:16:38,590
work plan that's presented to
you annually.

1695
01:16:39,270 --> 01:16:41,330
So the mission of the Civil
Service Commission is

1696
01:16:41,330 --> 01:16:44,330
to ensure equitable,
transparent and merit-based

1697
01:16:44,330 --> 01:16:47,150
management of the city's
workforce through oversight.

1698
01:16:47,170 --> 01:16:49,730
site of position
classification, recruitment,

1699
01:16:49,890 --> 01:16:53,330
employee performance,
and adherence to civil service regulations.

1700
01:16:53,930 --> 01:16:55,510
So they're making sure they're
looking at our job

1701
01:16:55,510 --> 01:16:57,510
specifications,
they're looking at our classification.

1702
01:16:58,570 --> 01:17:01,350
Any changes we want to make
goes to the Civil Service Commission.

1703
01:17:01,570 --> 01:17:02,170
So we have another service.

1704
01:17:02,170 --> 01:17:03,670
of eyes looking at it.

1705
01:17:03,730 --> 01:17:05,990
So that's the bulk of the civil
service work.

1706
01:17:06,170 --> 01:17:08,810
And in addition,
they can serve as a body

1707
01:17:08,810 --> 01:17:13,330
considering disciplinary
appeals if there was that process.

1708
01:17:13,590 --> 01:17:14,950
And so in a nutshell,
it's what they do.

1709
01:17:14,950 --> 01:17:16,890
Making sure they're looking out
for employees and

1710
01:17:16,890 --> 01:17:21,010
that word administering your
civil service rules correctly. Thank you.

1711
01:17:21,570 --> 01:17:21,730
>> Thank you.

1712
01:17:21,730 --> 01:17:23,190
>> Thank you for that
explanation.

1713
01:17:23,190 --> 01:17:24,890
And we definitely have had
appeals that have come

1714
01:17:24,890 --> 01:17:26,950
before them,
so that's a very serious issue.

1715
01:17:27,150 --> 01:17:30,090
So we really appreciate super
qualified people

1716
01:17:30,090 --> 01:17:31,590
applying for the position.

1717
01:17:31,690 --> 01:17:32,170
Are there any members of that?

1718
01:17:32,170 --> 01:17:34,230
the public who would like to
address council on

1719
01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:36,190
the applicants or the process?

1720
01:17:37,610 --> 01:17:39,310
Okay,
seeing none we'll go ahead and go to council

1721
01:17:39,310 --> 01:17:42,870
member discussion and then
we'll if there's no

1722
01:17:42,870 --> 01:17:44,950
discussion we can move on to
voting.

1723
01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:48,390
I think I will do a quick
comment.

1724
01:17:48,810 --> 01:17:50,410
I really appreciate three
applicants came in today

1725
01:17:50,410 --> 01:17:51,510
as well as Mr. Eckenroth.

1726
01:17:51,510 --> 01:17:53,010
I think all three are qualified.

1727
01:17:53,010 --> 01:17:56,150
I'd honestly be happy with all
three of them if we had three openings.

1728
01:17:57,290 --> 01:18:00,950
So I'm certainly happy to move
forward to choose

1729
01:18:00,950 --> 01:18:02,170
two at this time.

1730
01:18:02,170 --> 01:18:04,310
And I guess what I would
encourage is whoever is

1731
01:18:04,310 --> 01:18:07,450
the one that is not appointed
to please leave

1732
01:18:07,450 --> 01:18:09,430
their resume with us on file
and be willing to

1733
01:18:09,430 --> 01:18:13,050
consider taking an appointment
in the future to

1734
01:18:13,050 --> 01:18:15,050
either this commission or
another commission if

1735
01:18:15,050 --> 01:18:17,510
it's a commission that they
would desire to serve

1736
01:18:17,510 --> 01:18:19,490
on because we do regularly have
openings in the

1737
01:18:19,490 --> 01:18:20,990
need for good people.

1738
01:18:21,430 --> 01:18:25,190
Are there any comments or
discussion by anyone at this time? Councilmember Stewart?

1739
01:18:25,930 --> 01:18:29,850
>> Yes,
I just wanted to make note that I had not

1740
01:18:29,850 --> 01:18:34,050
seen Marco Cromati in person,
but we had spoken on

1741
01:18:34,050 --> 01:18:38,230
the phone several times in 2024
following the

1742
01:18:38,230 --> 01:18:40,710
storm when he was with the port
because I was

1743
01:18:40,710 --> 01:18:44,510
stressed over the amount of
trash in our bay and

1744
01:18:44,510 --> 01:18:48,310
he was able to immediately
deploy the their marine

1745
01:18:48,310 --> 01:18:51,970
debris skimmer,
which it's a boat that goes out and picks up.

1746
01:18:52,430 --> 01:18:55,350
But the thing that really
impressed me most was he

1747
01:18:55,350 --> 01:18:57,530
picked up the phone and called
me multiple days in

1748
01:18:57,530 --> 01:19:00,450
a row to make sure of what was
happening, what I

1749
01:19:00,450 --> 01:19:03,710
was seeing,
because I If some of you know, I

1750
01:19:03,710 --> 01:19:06,730
paddle quite a bit of the bay,
pretty much most of

1751
01:19:06,730 --> 01:19:10,990
it,
from the lows out to Point Loma.

1752
01:19:11,550 --> 01:19:15,610
So I'm aware of what's
happening on our bay, and

1753
01:19:15,610 --> 01:19:17,150
so I just really appreciate it.

1754
01:19:17,170 --> 01:19:19,490
that follow-up and it was so
impressive so it's

1755
01:19:19,490 --> 01:19:21,270
really nice to see you in
person.

1756
01:19:22,690 --> 01:19:26,670
And then of course, Frank,
I really, we had an

1757
01:19:26,670 --> 01:19:29,230
opportunity to be on a panel
discussion thrown

1758
01:19:29,230 --> 01:19:32,150
together and your background is
similar to mine.

1759
01:19:32,170 --> 01:19:35,790
line as I start as a lifeguard
working in high

1760
01:19:35,790 --> 01:19:39,010
school and through college and
also as a teacher

1761
01:19:39,010 --> 01:19:41,130
because you don't make enough
money to, you have

1762
01:19:41,130 --> 01:19:42,630
to work multiple jobs.

1763
01:19:43,830 --> 01:19:45,890
And then I will,
before I became a teacher, of

1764
01:19:45,890 --> 01:19:47,170
course, I was a park ranger.

1765
01:19:47,170 --> 01:19:49,950
I enjoyed sitting on that panel
with you.

1766
01:19:50,690 --> 01:19:53,690
And Dean Eckenroth,
I've known for decades, and

1767
01:19:53,690 --> 01:19:57,110
we're just,
we're so blessed that all three of

1768
01:19:57,110 --> 01:20:02,150
these people stepped up to
offer service. I'm just...

1769
01:20:02,170 --> 01:20:05,170
you know,
in awe of their resumes and their

1770
01:20:05,170 --> 01:20:06,670
commitment to the city.

1771
01:20:07,170 --> 01:20:10,310
And again,
I echo your sentiments, Mayor Duncan.

1772
01:20:11,590 --> 01:20:14,730
And so when we get ready to
vote, you know, I have

1773
01:20:14,730 --> 01:20:16,530
some reasonings for maybe why I
went.

1774
01:20:17,250 --> 01:20:19,770
select one or the other and the
one that isn't selected.

1775
01:20:19,970 --> 01:20:22,730
I hope that they will
definitely come back and

1776
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:24,090
serve with our city.

1777
01:20:24,090 --> 01:20:25,850
I'm excited for that. Thank you.

1778
01:20:27,490 --> 01:20:29,530
>> Thank you Councilmember
Stewart or the other comments?

1779
01:20:30,390 --> 01:20:33,930
Alrighty, with that,
let's move on to voting.

1780
01:20:34,270 --> 01:20:36,410
Again,
we have three applicants for two positions.

1781
01:20:37,170 --> 01:20:39,270
City clerk will call each
applicant's name.

1782
01:20:40,190 --> 01:20:43,030
Please raise your hand for up
to three applicants on this round.

1783
01:20:43,630 --> 01:20:47,150
Then on the next round,
you can vote for no more than that.

1784
01:20:47,170 --> 01:20:50,610
to yes council members purpose
they ask us to

1785
01:20:50,610 --> 01:20:53,650
>> differentiate between what
term one for the

1786
01:20:53,650 --> 01:20:57,410
one-year term and one for can
we vote that way

1787
01:20:57,410 --> 01:21:01,110
this and just do one vote I
think we can I don't

1788
01:21:01,110 --> 01:21:03,490
>> really see a problem with it
We did it before so

1789
01:21:03,490 --> 01:21:05,810
>> that the person that got,
if we get it down to

1790
01:21:05,810 --> 01:21:08,210
that,
we look at how many voted for each, and if

1791
01:21:08,210 --> 01:21:10,210
we have one that got five,
then one to get four,

1792
01:21:10,350 --> 01:21:12,190
the people with the most got
the longer term.

1793
01:21:12,650 --> 01:21:14,990
>> Yeah, I think that,
and that is agreed upon with

1794
01:21:14,990 --> 01:21:16,610
me that that's the procedure,
if that's okay with counsel.

1795
01:21:17,170 --> 01:21:20,170
the other issue would be if for
some reason we

1796
01:21:20,170 --> 01:21:23,470
have a tie with the two,
which I don't see how we

1797
01:21:23,470 --> 01:21:25,250
will, well if you can vote for,
I guess

1798
01:21:25,250 --> 01:21:26,330
theoretically, yes, we could.

1799
01:21:26,330 --> 01:21:28,130
But if we have a tie,
then we'll just re-vote for

1800
01:21:28,130 --> 01:21:29,630
which one gets the two year.

1801
01:21:30,170 --> 01:21:32,150
And I'm sure,
since there's five of us, that will determine.

1802
01:21:32,170 --> 01:21:34,570
minute with the majority for
one.

1803
01:21:35,430 --> 01:21:37,550
So okay so let's go ahead and
go along with that

1804
01:21:37,550 --> 01:21:40,850
so please clerk go ahead and
call the names and

1805
01:21:40,850 --> 01:21:42,830
you can vote for up to three in
this round.

1806
01:21:43,210 --> 01:21:47,150
>> Frank Carson for five votes.

1807
01:21:47,170 --> 01:21:51,190
Marco Cromarty, five votes.

1808
01:21:51,450 --> 01:21:57,450
Dean Eckenroth, five votes.
All right. You're all qualified.

1809
01:21:59,190 --> 01:22:02,150
>> I know you probably were
thinking a couple times in the past.

1810
01:22:02,170 --> 01:22:03,710
I'm like, you know,
you don't have to vote for

1811
01:22:03,710 --> 01:22:04,530
everybody the first time.

1812
01:22:04,530 --> 01:22:05,290
This time I'm very happy to.

1813
01:22:05,290 --> 01:22:06,190
>> You have to.

1814
01:22:06,190 --> 01:22:08,290
>> So, okay,
so let's go to the next round.

1815
01:22:08,370 --> 01:22:10,690
This time, council members,
please count your

1816
01:22:10,690 --> 01:22:13,390
votes as you vote and please
only vote for up to two applicants.

1817
01:22:14,610 --> 01:22:17,890
>> Frank Carson. One vote. vote.

1818
01:22:18,230 --> 01:22:21,210
Marco Cromartie, five votes.

1819
01:22:22,590 --> 01:22:24,670
Dean Eckenroth, four votes.

1820
01:22:26,730 --> 01:22:29,750
So that is one vote for Frank
Carson.

1821
01:22:30,830 --> 01:22:32,170
Five votes for, er, yeah,
five votes for, yeah.

1822
01:22:32,170 --> 01:22:34,950
five votes for Marco Cromarty
and four for Dean Eckenroth.

1823
01:22:35,490 --> 01:22:37,150
>> Okay and according to the
procedures we agreed on

1824
01:22:37,150 --> 01:22:40,590
then that would mean I believe
Mr. Comarty would

1825
01:22:40,590 --> 01:22:42,090
get the two-year term.

1826
01:22:42,290 --> 01:22:46,430
Mr.
Eckenroth would get the one-year term and we

1827
01:22:46,430 --> 01:22:47,170
thank you so much.

1828
01:22:47,170 --> 01:22:50,230
for coming in and please we
hope you come back one

1829
01:22:50,230 --> 01:22:51,590
more time and we have a
question for our city

1830
01:22:51,590 --> 01:22:54,970
>> attorney actually a
clarification from the city

1831
01:22:54,970 --> 01:22:59,070
clerk I believe the terms are
extended yes I just

1832
01:22:59,070 --> 01:23:01,150
>> wanted to clarify we have
two terms opening one

1833
01:23:01,150 --> 01:23:05,150
would term or expire at the end
of this year, we

1834
01:23:05,150 --> 01:23:07,270
would have the option to
automatically appoint

1835
01:23:07,270 --> 01:23:09,730
them for another three years
and basically give

1836
01:23:09,730 --> 01:23:12,750
them a three and a quarter year
term.

1837
01:23:13,410 --> 01:23:15,790
And then the second term
available is through the

1838
01:23:15,790 --> 01:23:19,690
end of 2027,
both or eligible for additional terms.

1839
01:23:20,090 --> 01:23:21,630
>> So for the first one you
mentioned, you don't need

1840
01:23:21,630 --> 01:23:23,110
anything from us on that right
now.

1841
01:23:23,110 --> 01:23:24,830
Would you like us to vote that
we want that one to

1842
01:23:24,830 --> 01:23:26,330
be automatic if we do?

1843
01:23:26,890 --> 01:23:28,090
Okay, so what can we add?

1844
01:23:28,090 --> 01:23:28,630
So I'll go ahead.

1845
01:23:28,630 --> 01:23:31,010
I'm going to make the motion
then, which is the

1846
01:23:31,010 --> 01:23:32,170
motion to do the two
appointments.

1847
01:23:32,170 --> 01:23:36,670
the way I described with the
additional provision

1848
01:23:36,670 --> 01:23:38,090
that you describe that we will
automatically

1849
01:23:38,090 --> 01:23:40,530
extend the term of the person
on the one-year or

1850
01:23:40,530 --> 01:23:42,950
less than one year term that is
at the end of this year.

1851
01:23:43,190 --> 01:23:46,030
>> I think that's a problem
though because that means

1852
01:23:46,030 --> 01:23:47,930
that person would have five
years so maybe the

1853
01:23:47,930 --> 01:23:50,190
person that got the five votes
to get that because

1854
01:23:50,190 --> 01:23:52,130
the person who had the one year
was originally the

1855
01:23:52,130 --> 01:23:54,550
person that only got four votes
so I think we'll

1856
01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:56,350
have to re-vote if we do that
or not we can just

1857
01:23:56,350 --> 01:23:58,650
leave but I'm just saying it
seems a little okay

1858
01:23:58,650 --> 01:24:02,550
>> no I'm happy go ahead Kirk
I'm happy to take to

1859
01:24:02,550 --> 01:24:04,890
amend the motion,
their friendly amendment to have

1860
01:24:04,890 --> 01:24:09,210
it reflect that so that Mr.
Cromartie would be the

1861
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:11,470
one who receives the term that
currently ends at

1862
01:24:11,470 --> 01:24:13,450
the end of the year but we're
going to vote in

1863
01:24:13,450 --> 01:24:15,810
this motion to approve to
automatically extend

1864
01:24:15,810 --> 01:24:18,710
that with Mr.
Rack and Roth having the other term

1865
01:24:18,710 --> 01:24:21,730
>> which is two years now and
then he could come back

1866
01:24:21,730 --> 01:24:24,870
>> and get reappointed
absolutely absolutely I second

1867
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:26,690
that thank you Councilmember
Fleming for the

1868
01:24:26,690 --> 01:24:29,290
second with those
clarifications and explanations

1869
01:24:29,290 --> 01:24:30,810
which I appreciate will please
vote

1870
01:24:34,030 --> 01:24:36,090
>> Motion carries all voting
aye.

1871
01:24:36,710 --> 01:24:41,250
>> All righty,
I do not see any further items on our

1872
01:24:41,250 --> 01:24:43,390
agenda today so we can go ahead
if there's no

1873
01:24:43,390 --> 01:24:45,430
other comments by council and
adjourn the meeting.

1874
01:24:46,070 --> 01:24:47,570
All right, thank you.
Meeting is adjourned.
