Here.

8
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:33,030
Here.

9
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:37,350
Let's see.

10
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:47,250
If I can please request that Dorian from for Hill, transit, help lead us to the pledge of allegiance.

11
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:07,460
Thank you

12
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:30,280
all right. Can I have a motion to adopt today's agenda. So second. All right. We have a motion and a second. All in favor. All right. The motion carries. Moving on to agenda item number four. Special items public safety department update update from Larry Bersida.

13
00:01:34,570 --> 00:01:46,810
Thank you, Mayor. Good evening, Mayor and council. This evening I'll be presenting the public safety update and I'm going to try to keep it to under three minutes because I am challenged to it. So go ahead and start clock.

14
00:01:48,190 --> 00:01:56,050
Yes, see a lot of excitement in the air. So I will keep this short and sweet nonetheless. Oh, she really did start it.

15
00:01:57,490 --> 00:01:59,050
Don't buzz it out. Let's see what we do.

16
00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:06,010
let's jokes more talk. Well this evening I'm going to have to report in comparison year

17
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:11,110
to date for September 2024, in comparison to September of 23, when you compare the part one

18
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:18,810
crime numbers for those two time periods, we are seeing a decline of negative 4.78% in our part

19
00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:25,410
one crimes, which is excellent. And if you during my last report we had a negative trend as well.

20
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:31,550
So we are continuing that negative aspect when it comes to the part one crimes category which is excellent for the city to worry.

21
00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:37,650
Furthermore, we've done quite a bunch of different events and operations during this time period.

22
00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:43,710
One of the operations we did was focused on traffic related items and enforcement in and around our schools zones.

23
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:53,350
So we did receive a lot of positive feedback, not only from parents, but also from the surrounding community in relation to our presence there and the enforcement of safe maneuvering actions,

24
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:57,550
as well as just overall speed reduction, so it's been excellent excellent feedback and that

25
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:03,110
respect. The last thing that I'm going to report is the Breach Fire. So the Breach Fire, we did

26
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:15,110
see started on September 8th at 212 p.m. As of today's date, the Breach Fire is at 54,878 acres.

27
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:22,330
It does have 81% containment. They do have a primary line around the fire and they are reinforcing

28
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:27,530
their secondary lines of containment as we speak. So there is quite a bit of firefighting efforts

29
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:32,470
that are occurring. The city's door he did operate. It's a emergency operations center on a remote

30
00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:37,610
status. So what that means that in case the fire did grow at a proportion or did affect

31
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:43,150
door he residents, we could do a full activation response as necessary. Other than that, the city of

32
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:48,650
door he and its staff, what we did, is just maintain the operation center, work collaborative

33
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:55,330
follow their other surrounding agencies as well as provide support. So with that, I am

34
00:03:55,330 --> 00:04:00,150
done. Look at that. I got a minute to spare. Wow. Amazing. Yeah. All right. All right. Thank

35
00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:06,550
you. Thank you. I'll be here. I'll be here. I'll be here. Any questions? Do you have any questions

36
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:12,130
from Council? I'm going to put 10. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor, for the update. I think it's

37
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:18,290
also worth mentioning Tony Hatlugs numbers this month compared to the last report. I don't

38
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:23,790
want to share a little bit on that part. Absolutely. Well, I do have a minute to spare, so yes.

39
00:04:25,130 --> 00:04:30,050
Yeah, as you can see, Tony Hatluck is our outreach coordinator for the city of Dordia and his

40
00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:36,850
main mission and goal is to outreach with the transient community. So people experience the

41
00:04:36,850 --> 00:04:40,870
homelessness. He identifies those individuals. He contacts them, provides resources.

42
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:45,970
With those contacts and that information, he does keep a lot of data and metrics.

43
00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:50,590
And what happens is that he has a telly of everybody that he contacts.

44
00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:55,790
Within this month and prior month we have seen the numbers decline.

45
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,930
So he normally contacts about 28.

46
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:15,460
Individuals for that month, that's the people that have maintained in the city. What we're not talking about people that are just coming in out, but people that stay in the community and be in contact in a several times throughout the month, we're seeing 28 this month as well as last month, it is at 8.

47
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:18,520
That is about 71% reduction.

48
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,480
Now, only with that, but we are seeing contacts

49
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,260
overall have declined as well as calls for service declined.

50
00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:31,840
Obviously, they have not gone down to zero as council was aware.

51
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:33,880
There's some areas that are heightened more than others.

52
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,080
Overall, we're seeing a huge reduction in that area as well.

53
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:41,520
And I also want to appreciate, because we had a conversation about

54
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,600
one of this kind of boardy road, folks lowering in the area,

55
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,220
and making everyone safe for the seniors that live in that facility.

56
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,040
I have noticed as a mother that they're kind of going

57
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,260
to a larger and more part.

58
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,380
And we've got a couple of calls about our residents concerned

59
00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:01,060
about using the playground equipment and things like that.

60
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:03,160
But I know you guys are on it.

61
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:05,880
And these stats are amazing.

62
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,180
They're not perfect, obviously.

63
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,640
But we're making great strides to not just pushing the issue,

64
00:06:11,780 --> 00:06:13,160
but addressing it in offering services,

65
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:14,240
which is what I appreciate.

66
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Thank you.

67
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,760
Absolutely.

68
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,040
Thank

69
00:06:18,220 --> 00:06:19,080
you.

70
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,240
Can I just remember this?

71
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:23,640
How you doing, Larry?

72
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:24,460
Good sir.

73
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:30,940
Um, uh, Mayor Proteum kind of touched on what I was going to say about the lies more

74
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:31,400
part.

75
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,440
Um, I also was contacted several times by my constituents and, uh, I told them that I

76
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,540
would look into addressing that.

77
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,620
Um, so thank you for reaching out.

78
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,760
I mean, I called you, but you sent me a text back, but thank you for responding.

79
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,740
And for the bridge fire, did they have a cause?

80
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Not at this point.

81
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:54,920
Not at this time.

82
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Thank you, sir.

83
00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:59,440
Is that one of the biggest?

84
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,280
Yes, in this area.

85
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,160
I would imagine, right?

86
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,780
Yeah, this one is the biggest in this area.

87
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:06,520
They did declare an emergency.

88
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:10,860
State of emergency for the county, so they did get federal funding.

89
00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:15,100
So we're seeing a lot of federal resources for both this fire, as well as the airport fire.

90
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Those two are declared.

91
00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:18,180
Thank you.

92
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:22,040
Any more questions from Council?

93
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,780
Awesome.

94
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,500
Thank you, Larry.

95
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:25,280
You're welcome.

96
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:25,880
Thank you.

97
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,180
I just want to thank Larry for, you know, when you're out pounding the pavement walking

98
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:38,660
houses and you have a question and Brian was just like this too.

99
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,540
I call them because they're constituents that have questions and or they've had problems

100
00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:47,520
and they aren't willing to just go ahead and call City Hall.

101
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Thank you for picking up. Like I said, Brian used to do it too. Manual, Craig. I don't have too many questions for Kristen, but thank you.

102
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Thank you. I know you would. I know you would, but it's very helpful to be able to have an immediate answer.

103
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,900
And it makes people feel like they're kind of empowered.

104
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:16,080
When they, it's like, oh, wow, I really am talking to the director of public safety.

105
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,900
So anyway, thank you.

106
00:08:18,580 --> 00:08:23,480
Well, in our line of work, it makes us feel like we're actually doing a lot

107
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
for a residence when we get answers to the questions.

108
00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:31,260
And with the speed of how we get the answers, it's amazing.

109
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:36,440
Okay, Larry, I see you picked up from Ms. Finland, but you didn't pick up from me.

110
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,140
I'm starting to feel so in the kind of way.

111
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,820
Okay, Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, you know, we'll go, I'll make it up to you, Tony.

112
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:45,960
There's a crumble cookie in your future.

113
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,440
For the record, I was in Europe, which is why you got a text in our phone call.

114
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,660
They charge me like $5 a minute.

115
00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:57,060
So I was back in California.

116
00:08:57,060 --> 00:08:57,980
5 year round.

117
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:58,940
Okay, sir.

118
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,080
You're excuses granted.

119
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:01,980
Thank you, sir.

120
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:03,040
Thank you.

Neechal.

143
00:11:07,540 --> 00:11:08,380
Neechal boxes.

144
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:09,940
Yes.

145
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Councilwoman Philly?

146
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Like a friend that.

147
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,060
Oh.

148
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:14,860
You know.

149
00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:16,780
Like a friend that.

150
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Okay.

151
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,080
How long have you been at that library now, Joanna?

Since about August, 2011.

153
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:24,340
Wow.

154
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:26,040
You know what?

155
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:30,580
You just, you hit every one of them out of the park.

156
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:34,180
You, you're really quite an asset to this community.

157
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:35,620
So thank you very much.

158

00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:38,680
Thank you, Joanna.

161
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:40,380
You're welcome.

162
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:42,800
Okay.

163
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:53,520
I know, yeah, next up we were supposed to have on the rest, but I was actually going to invite Rosa, but Steve is stepping up right now, go ahead.

164
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,080
Well, I did it, because I didn't want to forget it.

165
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:09,100
I've been with Manage, going door to door to offer free smoke alarms to people in the south eastern into the city.

166
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:15,620
And we've had, we've had good, we've had a really good success, just not great.

167
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,000
But on Saturday, we need volunteers to help with installing these devices.

168
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:28,840
And any of you are available, or no people that are available, please get involved.

169
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:32,960
And for you, council members that are up to reelection, where are you shirts?

170
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:52,720
But yeah, but anyhow, it's been a good experience for us to do this because we've met a lot of new people and, but now it's if we can get all the help we can, we'd appreciate it and contact Monash for that.

171
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520
He's got all the details. I didn't even bring a flyer. Thank you.

172
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,340
Thank you.

173
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:05,720
All right, so next I am going to invite Rosa up so she could tell us a little bit about the homecoming.

174
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,640
That's coming up.

175
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,220
Good evening.

176
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:13,520
Well, I wanted to invite you all to the homecoming game, which is this Friday the 27th.

177
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,420
I know we have some Falcons here.

178
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,080
So it's homecoming, 7 p.m.

179
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Dirty high school. I want to see everybody. It'd be wonderful. I hope you guys can make it in support art students and another thing

180
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,500
Rotis doing a park cleanup on October the 12th. We're doing the trail and

181
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,580
Royal Oak's park. I'd like to invite you guys to come out and support us. It'll be rotary and the dark team will be out there

182
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:41,780
So hope to see you guys there

183
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,760
That's yes. Are you saving seats for us at the football game if you're coming I will okay? I need to get your number

184
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760
because I have to do the camp out at Royale Oaks on Friday night.

185
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:56,160
I'm on the PTO board, but I really want to cut it sneak over and come see you guys.

186
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,840
Can you sneak over for at least an hour or two?

187
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,740
Yes, for sure.

188
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,540
I'll get it to you.

189
00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:01,920
Thank you so much for all of us.

190
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:02,420
Thank you, Rosa.

191
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:05,040
Who are they playing, Rosa?

192
00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:07,840
Who are they playing?

193
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,160
Okay.

194
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Oh.

195
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,740
All right, next, we have Andreas from Assistant to the City Manager.

196
00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:21,490
Good evening Mayor and council members.

197
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:24,030
Just a couple of quick announcements here.

00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:25,930

Thank you.

214
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,060
Any questions?

215
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,900
Thank you, Chair.

216
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Next time I'd like to invite any audience members to announce any upcoming events

217
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,300
that anyone else has?

218
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:23,610
Okay?

219
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:26,950
Yeah, you want to come up right now?

220
00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:27,290
Yeah, sure.

221
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:34,050
Hi, everybody.

222
00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:35,470
Hello.

223
00:15:36,250 --> 00:15:38,270
Hi, my name is Carolyn Cargill.

224
00:15:38,330 --> 00:15:40,950
I'm your local district manager for Starbucks.

225
00:15:41,530 --> 00:15:42,290
I've seen many of you.

226
00:15:42,490 --> 00:15:43,390
Thank you.

227
00:15:44,370 --> 00:15:46,970
And really, we're here to announce.

228
00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:54,110
We're here to announce that we have officially opened our second location here in the city of Dordi.

229
00:15:55,190 --> 00:15:56,390
It's over.

230
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:57,290
I know.

231
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:58,010
Thank you.

232
00:15:58,850 --> 00:16:03,630
It's a cafe only with both seating, tons of seating, two community tables.

233
00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:11,250
come to you sitting at the back. I'm just saying. Everybody come. And we open last week and we're

234
00:16:11,850 --> 00:16:20,630
really trying to get the word out that we're here. It's on DeWordie in Mountain, just south of Walmart

235
00:16:20,630 --> 00:16:32,110
in the center with the, yeah, the easy boy, I hop, pan dexpress, and Picosito. And so we were actually

236
00:16:32,110 --> 00:16:38,530
looking to see if we could work dates with you to have a grand opening. I happen to know this

237
00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:44,730
is a very busy time, it's election time, but really we just wanted to invite everybody. We were

238
00:16:44,730 --> 00:16:51,790
thinking November 10th somewhere between 8 to 10 a.m. but we are certainly flexible, we just wanted

239
00:16:51,790 --> 00:16:58,350
to invite you all and also see how we can work together to spread the word.

240
00:16:58,350 --> 00:17:00,090
How am I named Erica?

241
00:17:00,470 --> 00:17:01,890
I'm the star manager of the new location.

242
00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:03,750
So tell all your friends.

243
00:17:03,970 --> 00:17:04,590
And you were in the night?

244
00:17:05,470 --> 00:17:07,970
You were in the night shirt that we had this Saturday.

245
00:17:09,130 --> 00:17:10,290
I had the representative hoodie.

246
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:12,110
And I just had a question.

247
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:16,850
Did the chamber reach out to you because I contacted them yesterday after Sergeant Filer

248
00:17:16,850 --> 00:17:17,970
reached out to me.

249
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:21,050
So she did reach out to me.

250
00:17:22,030 --> 00:17:26,870
And ultimately, it's coming down to like dates.

251
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:30,150
And we would like to set up something sooner.

252
00:17:30,670 --> 00:17:35,070
We also are working with our share of department for setting up

253
00:17:35,070 --> 00:17:37,670
a coffee with the cops, which we'll also invite you to.

254
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:39,870
So I know we can't be in all places.

255
00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:43,450
However, we wanted to have a grand opening

256
00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:45,550
for the community the sooner or the better.

257
00:17:46,290 --> 00:17:48,390
And so November 10th, we're going to work with the sheriff.

258
00:17:48,670 --> 00:17:51,210
Anyone here that can support that cause.

259
00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:54,670
And then we'll do a coffee with the cops later

260
00:17:54,670 --> 00:18:02,250
that in the next month or so and we'll invite everybody to that as well. And if you ever

261
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:08,190
want a coffee with the mayor or something else, we would be happy to host something like that.

262
00:18:08,650 --> 00:18:17,370
Sounds good. I have a question that has to do with your actual physical location. Do you

263
00:18:17,370 --> 00:18:29,230
it a drive through? It is not. It is just a cafe only. So, very cozy, it's big, it's very big, it's

264
00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:32,070
perfect. And your name is Sarah? Erica.

265
00:18:35,230 --> 00:18:40,010
Erica. Erica. Erica. Got it. Thank you. Erica, I think you should

266
00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:46,170
do November 2nd because that's the important day. That's my son's birthday. That's my birthday too.

267
00:18:46,170 --> 00:18:46,930
We'll have fun.

268
00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:48,990
Happy birthday.

269
00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:53,570
We'll give you a cup of coffee.

270
00:18:53,850 --> 00:18:54,370
Come on, bye.

271
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:56,830
Well, thank you.

272
00:18:56,830 --> 00:18:57,850
I'll be there.

273
00:18:58,230 --> 00:19:02,190
November 10th and we will see whoever can make it.

274
00:19:02,190 --> 00:19:03,510
November 10th, October 10th.

275
00:19:03,530 --> 00:19:04,670
Just kidding. October 10th.

276
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:07,490
October 10th.

277
00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:09,230
October 10th, just to get the word out

278
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:10,850
and then we'll work with the sheriff

279
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:14,970
and you if you would like to do something for the total study.

280
00:19:14,970 --> 00:19:24,550
Okay. Yeah, that location is a little bit interesting. Yeah, so I used to on that store right next door and

281
00:19:25,090 --> 00:19:30,930
it takes a lot of effort. It takes a lot of effort to go and get people to know about that location

282
00:19:30,930 --> 00:19:36,210
because it's actually sloped down. So when you're at the Walmart parking lot, you don't really see it.

283
00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:44,770
So it will be good. It will be good. It just takes a little bit more time. So yeah, that's all you have to do.

284
00:19:44,770 --> 00:19:49,190
just keep marketing it and we'll do some, you know, grassroots marketing over here.

285
00:19:49,330 --> 00:19:50,090
I hope you get it.

286
00:19:50,370 --> 00:19:51,250
Thank you so much.

287
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:51,810
Thank you.

288
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:52,870
Thank you guys.

289
00:19:53,410 --> 00:19:58,930
Who is your manager at the Starbucks on Huntington?

290
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,220
My Castro, and Melissa left.

291
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,080
Melissa's Huntington in 2010, and Rovia?

292
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:07,680
Yeah.

293
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Yes.

294
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:19,220
I've seen her, and she's like, I would love to go back over there, but.

295
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600
She's like, that's a district manager's job.

296
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,460
Well, she wants to be a district manager, so I'm like, let's go girl.

297
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:36,120
Um, let's go curl work and, uh, you know, uh, this was actually an opportunity for her to, to learn and grow and open a new store.

298
00:20:36,380 --> 00:20:43,860
Give Mike an opportunity to meet you and, um, be a part of this community and Erica actually is a constituent of your she lives here in Dordy.

299
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,880
I'm also a help.

300
00:20:46,220 --> 00:20:47,540
Oh, hey.

301
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Awesome.

302
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,220
Well, thank you guys and, um, hope we'll be in touch.

303
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,020
And we'll try and go.

304
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Thank you.

305
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,580
Oh, the grand opening?

306
00:20:54,980 --> 00:20:56,300
8 to 10.

307
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,240
Thank you.

308
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:00,820
Cool.

309
00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:01,980
Thank you.

310
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:12,160
Anyone else from the audience would like to make some announcements on any upcoming events they have?

311
00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:13,020
All right.

312
00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:14,240
Yes.

313
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:20,980
This is not an upcoming event, but I think I didn't call you on it.

314
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:23,560
I probably should have.

315
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,920
But I just wanted to have you add

316
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,120
a Germans and memory of two people.

317
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:39,660
The first one is for, I don't know, how many of you at Dordi High School ever had

318
00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:44,180
Tumoko Sato, as she was someone that,

319
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:52,040
well, Tumoko was great. Anyway, is great, but her husband Bill Sato passed away.

320
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,440
He was an engineer for the city of Pasadena for years and years and years.

321
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:04,320
And he clearly had, they clearly had very talented kids because they're one son when

322
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,520
they had the 84 Olympics.

323
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,880
They had a bunch of grand pianos set up on the Coliseum, and their son was one of the grand

324
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,400
piano players up there.

325
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:20,460
So anyway, but Bill, Bill Sotto, Rest in Peace, great, great family.

326
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:25,060
He also had quite a story to tell about internment camps.

327
00:22:25,580 --> 00:22:29,100
He was up in Wyoming at an internment camp up there.

328
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,940
Anyway, and then also, another person that passed away, she was 98 years old, is a lady named

329
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,720
Valda Richter's.

330
00:22:39,860 --> 00:22:46,880
She lived up on the Mesa, and when the fire came through in November of 1980, all of the

331
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,840
to a clock in the morning, we're up there with their bullhorns telling everybody to get out.

332
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:58,840
And Valda and Arnes were up on their roof with hoses,

333
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,820
spraying down the roof, and they were from Riga Latvia.

334
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:14,240
And they said if they could go ahead and deal with the Russians on one side and the Nazis on the other,

335
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,320
they could deal with a little bit of fire.

336
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,920
and they did. They saved their house up there. Anyway, Valdor was 98 years old,

337
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,680
both she and her husband were medical doctors and they taught at USC's medical school.

338
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,880
So, Valdor Richter's RICH TERS and I have addresses for both.

339
00:23:37,940 --> 00:23:45,120
All right, thank you, Councilwoman. Now item number six oral communications. If you wish to

340
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,520
speaker on a matter that is not on this agenda you may do so at this time each member of the

341
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,160
public will have a total of three minutes to speak. The council cannot discuss or take actions

342
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,540
on matters not only agenda for this meeting. Annette, do we have any public comments?

343
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,680
I have for it's evening card's mayor. You have what?

344
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,540
I have not received any cards. Okay, thank you. Anybody from the public wish to step up to the

345
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:14,920
podium to speak on any items that are not on the agenda? I see none. Okay, moving on to

346
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:25,440
I know I remember six consent calendar. I mean seven consent calendar. Do we have any items on a consent calendar that council would like to move?

347
00:24:26,260 --> 00:24:32,180
Yeah, I just like to talk about seven J and honestly we can discuss it before somebody before we vote.

348
00:24:34,990 --> 00:24:35,750
Yeah, we can do that.

349
00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:40,050
Are you looking to just make a comment or just a comment?

350
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:41,350
Okay, that's fine.

351
00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:57,690
Anyway, Prop 36 basically will help undo the problems that came with Proposition 47.

352
00:24:57,690 --> 00:24:58,830
But when did that pass, right?

353
00:25:01,010 --> 00:25:11,110
2014, where felons, all of a sudden became misdemeanors, because they had to keep the populations in the prisons down.

354
00:25:12,090 --> 00:25:27,810
So we know what's happened since then, and I am very much in support of Prop 36. The homelessness drug addiction and theft reduction act.

355
00:25:27,810 --> 00:25:54,410
So, anyway, I just wanted to go ahead and make that comment and I hope people will review it carefully before they vote because I believe it is going to put back in place some more significant punitive actions for people that decide they want to steal $950 or less from the stores.

356
00:25:55,710 --> 00:25:56,230
Okay.

357
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:56,790
That's it.

358
00:25:56,970 --> 00:25:57,630
And what's that?

359
00:25:58,270 --> 00:26:01,110
I'll make a motion to approve the consent calendar.

360
00:26:01,510 --> 00:26:01,770
Second.

361
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:02,490
Okay.

362
00:26:02,550 --> 00:26:03,710
We have a motion in the second.

363
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:04,450
All in favor?

364
00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:05,530
Aye.

365
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:07,370
None opposed?

366
00:26:08,190 --> 00:26:08,470
Nope.

367
00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:09,750
Motion carries.

368
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:11,310
Thank you.

369
00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:15,810
Since we talked about that, we don't have to talk about 7J.

370
00:26:16,150 --> 00:26:18,330
Moving on to agenda item number 9.

371
00:26:18,430 --> 00:26:18,930
Public hearing.

372
00:26:19,130 --> 00:26:20,070
We have none.

373
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:23,190
Moving forward to agenda item number 10.

374
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:30,230
our business item, Dority Ebus, a random of understanding extension, and we have Chris, she beat

375
00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:30,690
me to it.

376
00:26:30,730 --> 00:26:31,390
She's up there already.

377
00:26:32,010 --> 00:26:33,730
Thank you.

378
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:39,850
Mayor and City Council, and 2014, you will remember that Council directed staff to purchase electric

379
00:26:39,850 --> 00:26:42,150
buses for DeWortie's fixed route system.

380
00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:47,590
At that time, as when we started contracting with Hilt Transit, to operate and maintain the

381
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:47,950
vehicles.

382
00:26:47,950 --> 00:26:54,710
And MOU was approved in 2017 and the operation of our DeWordie Ebus began in 2019.

383
00:26:55,610 --> 00:27:01,990
The first three-year extension was executed recently in 2021, doesn't seem like it was

384
00:27:01,990 --> 00:27:04,110
just yesterday, but it's been three whole years.

385
00:27:04,610 --> 00:27:07,850
And the second three-year extension is being recommended at this time.

386
00:27:08,530 --> 00:27:14,230
Over the last six years of operation, a lot has changed, and I don't just mean with our

387
00:27:14,230 --> 00:27:14,630
buses.

388
00:27:14,850 --> 00:27:16,230
I mean in the world, obviously.

389
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:23,270
But most recently, in June of 2023, Council approved the consolidation of the two-dewordy

390
00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:27,850
routes and the extension of Line 272 to Mountain Vista Plaza.

391
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:33,870
This eliminated duplication and stops where ridership was low and it focused on stops

392
00:27:33,870 --> 00:27:35,250
where the ridership was higher.

393
00:27:35,850 --> 00:27:42,210
The route change was implemented in November of 2023 and based on the data from the last few

394
00:27:42,210 --> 00:27:48,630
Ridership is averaging right around 2100 rights per month given that given that information

395
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:52,410
we're providing about 25,000 rights per year.

396
00:27:53,090 --> 00:27:57,470
The fixed route system continues to provide a valuable resource of transportation to

397
00:27:57,470 --> 00:27:58,230
the community.

398
00:27:59,050 --> 00:28:06,330
Last June, when we made those changes, Council also directed staff to track the monthly savings

399
00:28:06,330 --> 00:28:11,450
that we're going to be related to this consolidation and learn more about on demand

400
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:19,430
micro transit options. Since November, the city is seen and average savings of about 22,000 per month.

401
00:28:20,110 --> 00:28:26,210
And so if this were to continue, that would equate to about 250,000 per year. Based on

402
00:28:26,210 --> 00:28:31,110
meeting with surrounding cities and directly meeting with micro transit providers in our area,

403
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:41,430
we have determined that implementing even a limited hour on demand micro transit program in the

404
00:28:42,170 --> 00:28:50,530
So clearly the annual savings based on what we're seeing so far is not enough to cover the ongoing costs of starting a demand system.

405
00:28:51,110 --> 00:29:03,430
So at this time we would report and recommend that we continue to track the savings and monitor the ridership of our fixed route and report back next year after we have a full 12 months of data under our belt.

406
00:29:03,430 --> 00:29:13,710
The new route, the changes in what's happening in transportation, and eventually the decisions we need to make about our fixed route system are on the horizon.

407
00:29:14,530 --> 00:29:26,690
In the meantime, staff is recommending that the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute another three year of continuing to operate our fixed route with this new route schedule.

408
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:34,000
I also want to point out that we do have federal transit representatives here, Doran Barnes,

409
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,900
the Chief Executive Officer and Joe Raquel, who is the director of planning or both here

410
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:42,280
if you have any additional questions that I can answer for you.

411
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:48,620
At this time, I'm recommending that you do authorize the city manager to execute the three

412
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:51,320
year option on the MOU with Foothill Transit.

413
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,960
That concludes what I have to share, but I'm open to any questions.

414
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,360
Do you have any questions from Council?

415
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,560
Council member, okay?

416
00:29:58,820 --> 00:29:59,980
I got a question really quick.

417
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,580
With this fixed route, I've seen some other cities like I believe Al-Habra would go to Monterey Park in a Montabella

418
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:18,800
would go to all the way to Al-Habra. Is there any way that this fixed route can be expanded to maybe

419
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:27,080
going to home goods or somewhere in Marmovia and so on? Just to help the ridership maybe

420
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,260
perhaps to go up. It's just easy.

421
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,280
We can always look at route changes.

422
00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:45,460
Going outside of the boundaries, a lot of, you know, at that point it would be counsel's decision on whether you're going to then have ridership from, you know, other communities who are going to be utilizing that as opposed to just working your way around to worthy.

423
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,560
Right now, the goal is definitely to connect to the regional transportations.

424
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:58,220
187272 which do continue down hunting to drive, don't forget to exactly where you're describing.

425
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:05,160
So our goal has always been to sort of be that last-first-mile, last-mile kind of a connection

426
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,300
from that regional transportation.

427
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,860
But definitely we have the opportunity to look at our fixed route and look at going outside

428
00:31:11,860 --> 00:31:12,540
of the city.

429
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,360
It really would be a council decision if you wanted to expand the areas that we're serving.

430
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,700
Yeah, just a little bit, I would imagine not going all the way to Murdoch, but since a lot of the folks,

431
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:28,700
you know, they shop in Monrovia, some other kind of hubs and stuff like that, we can definitely start

432
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:34,800
looking at that if that's something we want to look into. I do think that the idea of having fixed

433
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,320
route in Monrovia, they haven't done that because they have an on-demand system and it sort of tends

434
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:44,020
to be one of the other in most cases, although we're starting to see some hybrids in other cities.

435
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:47,420
So, it could be something where we also could approach

436
00:31:47,420 --> 00:31:50,260
Minervy and find out if they would want to participate in something like,

437
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,220
because we would then be bringing people to their commerce,

438
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200
and so perhaps they would want to participate in something like that.

439
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,380
Unless we have some of these stores in Dwarri,

440
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,400
most of the folks would like to go shopping.

441
00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:07,440
It's a better way to go into this figure out.

442
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,980
I wouldn't imagine for some of our constituents.

443
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,260
We definitely can look at those kind of route options,

444
00:32:12,260 --> 00:32:16,580
And what the costs would be if they need to changing that route in expanding hours.

445
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:16,960
Sure.

446
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:17,580
Thank you.

447
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,300
It should be too tough because do we go up Mountain?

448
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:21,420
Yeah.

449
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:25,320
So if we go up Mountain, just even making a quick turn,

450
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,680
they're on Huntington driving through the complex there and then getting back on Huntington.

451
00:32:30,940 --> 00:32:31,060
Yeah.

452
00:32:31,260 --> 00:32:32,440
Not going on private property.

453
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,440
That would be one thing.

454
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,800
So we would have to identify a site that's over there.

455
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,860
But working with what he'll transit, that's kind of the easiest because again,

456
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,160
they already have a route where their bus is doing something like that.

457
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,720
have a stop in that area. So we definitely could look at that. One thing I have learned

458
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,700
in transit is it never is as simple as just adding something because of the time tables, right?

459
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:56,160
But it doesn't mean that we can't look at it. We just look at it and right now we're getting

460
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:03,060
so much data about the heavily-ist-used stops and the ones that are least-used that it does give

461
00:33:03,060 --> 00:33:08,160
us a lot of ability to start reevaluating those least-used ones and adding what we think

462
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520
might be another great location.

463
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:14,180
So that's definitely something that we can look at.

464
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,880
And one more question really quick.

465
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,340
And I think this question goes to you, Doran,

466
00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:23,740
is how are these buses since Petera actually went BK?

467
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,340
How are we maintaining them?

468
00:33:27,860 --> 00:33:29,780
And do we still need a 35 footer?

469
00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:31,480
Can we get something even smaller?

470
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:35,240
I think Lendora was actually exploring that kind of ideas.

471
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:43,020
I went to Europe and I also went to, in China, they have some smaller buses, but of course

472
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:49,540
we have to pass all the NTSB and stuff, but nonetheless, I'm not sure if there's a way

473
00:33:49,540 --> 00:33:57,300
to perhaps have them smaller, because I've never seen, I've been here for 20, some years,

474
00:33:57,380 --> 00:34:02,500
I've never seen them full, so maybe you can have something smaller, just to compensate,

475
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:09,440
If these buses, I don't know, you know, one day, these batteries are like, hey, they're all

476
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:15,940
degraded, they're degraded, they're degraded, then, then, you know, what we're going to do, right?

477
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:28,200
I will at Doran talk a little bit about that, but one thing I did want to point out is that absolutely is something that we need to evaluate when it comes time for us to decide what we're going to do with our fixed route.

478
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:34,860
At this point, we have our investment in these vehicles, but their life is not going to be very long.

479
00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:41,180
And so we are going to need to start looking at what would be the best way for us to run our system.

480
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:44,120
And smaller vehicles may be the solution.

481
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:53,300
I think during can speak to the fact that they get particularly small, and it stops becoming a product that foothill transit operates.

482
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:59,880
But then we get back to where when we had the buses before, we would need to find an operator who does that.

483
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:09,760
There are operators to do that. That was part of understanding now how these on-demand systems are operating. They are working with smaller vehicle sizes.

484
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:21,660
But again, I would every expectation that that's going to be part of the conversation. When it comes time for us to decide, are we investing, what is the next investment of replacement?

485
00:35:21,660 --> 00:35:27,960
And what does it look like and what would be the best product for what our ridership is like now?

486
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:35,800
You know, what the transportation market is like in our city relative to the other transportation that we already have available to us.

487
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,040
Thank you.

488
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:39,500
Yeah.

489
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,380
Mr. Mayor, members of the council.

490
00:35:42,980 --> 00:35:49,960
We're certainly honored to partner with you and to be your transit system and to be able to have this extended service that we've operated on your behalf.

491
00:35:50,540 --> 00:35:53,480
I think this is a really exciting and interesting space.

492
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:57,020
And as we look to the future as we partner with your city team,

493
00:35:57,460 --> 00:36:00,160
looking at what the future might look like is,

494
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,720
you know, there's a lot of questions and a lot of things that are quickly evolving.

495
00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:04,680
And we certainly want to work with you on that.

496
00:36:04,980 --> 00:36:06,460
I think in terms of the size of the vehicle,

497
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,920
in my experience, the key cost driver for a transit vehicle

498
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,040
is the coach operator and the fuel.

499
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,680
So whether the vehicle can carry five people or 30 people,

500
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,040
70% of that cost is still there.

501
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,800
So to some extent, if you're running a fixed route operation,

502
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:26,360
the size of vehicle that you have gives you the flexibility

503
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,820
to carry those bigger loads with a materialized,

504
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,940
and when the buses as full, again,

505
00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:33,560
you're still incurring largely the same cost.

506
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:37,000
Protarabuses are certainly a bit of a challenge,

507
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,220
and we're doing everything we can to keep them up

508
00:36:39,220 --> 00:36:40,520
and running and maintain.

509
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,900
And we're leaning in very, very heavily on those.

510
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,540
Two of the vehicles are operating.

511
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:49,480
there's a third vehicle that has some technical issue that

512
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,600
Proceteria is diagnosing. We're going to do everything we can to keep on the road as long as we can for you.

513
00:36:55,540 --> 00:36:58,780
But there will come a time when it'll be time to move on to that next technology.

514
00:36:59,540 --> 00:37:03,560
We do have 17 Proceteria buses in our core fleet that we're also operating.

515
00:37:04,260 --> 00:37:07,380
So the full fleet is 20 vehicles that we're trying to keep going.

516
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:08,760
Okay, thank you.

517
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:17,140
Thank you, Mayor, while we're in the topic of promoting and expanding routes and promoting

518
00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:21,300
ridership, I don't have a question recording shelters.

519
00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:27,760
I know it gets tricky because you want to make sure that they're safe and that public

520
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:34,400
safety has full view of them, but especially during these harsh weather like that heat wave

521
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:41,720
We had, you know, it's tough to see folks waiting for that bus to pass by when there's

522
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:44,280
no shelter or weather proofing.

523
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:48,880
We've never discussed this up here, but I was hoping maybe we can have a future workshop

524
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:55,780
or maybe at the CIP to see how the rest of Council feels to kind of look at what other cities

525
00:37:55,780 --> 00:38:01,760
are doing, what's still being safe and allowing the riders to be comfortable while they wait

526
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,740
for those.

527
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:14,740
That I will say that's a capital investment for sure, they are not cheap, there's different types of advertising things you can do to try to offset costs and things like that.

528
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,200
Having said that, I do think that some of the changes we've made pretty recently without.

529
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:29,100
We'd want to be very careful to invest capital improvements at a location that may or may not be on our route, so being cautious about that.

530
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:35,080
But having a conversation about what those look like and how other cities are dealing with it is completely appropriate.

531
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,400
It's something that I think we would want to do so that we come time for our capital improvement,

532
00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:46,240
you know, workshop that we know whether or not where you'd like to put that maybe on on the rankings of that.

533
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,780
So, you know, funding it sooner or later or whatever.

534
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,460
So, absolutely, I can put that on my list to bring back.

535
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:53,080
Thank you, Chris.

536
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,980
Tell us more, okay?

537
00:38:55,180 --> 00:38:55,540
Thank you, Mayor.

538
00:38:55,660 --> 00:38:56,500
Just one more thing, Kristen.

539
00:38:57,180 --> 00:38:58,200
I'm just curious.

540
00:38:59,980 --> 00:39:01,660
You know how when CS arts,

541
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:03,740
the students, when they get off,

542
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,660
I mean, there's a massive amount of these people,

543
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:10,840
these students, and I'm very, very grateful

544
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,160
for CS arts and for them to be here.

545
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,260
Is there any way, because I see them walking, right?

546
00:39:19,540 --> 00:39:22,100
They're walking, there's hundreds of them.

547
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:27,440
is you're in way we can go and incorporate some kind of routes for them, you know,

548
00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:31,700
they can instead of, you know, walking, if they're carrying all that whatever stuff,

549
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,300
they can somehow use a bus to get to it.

550
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,400
Are you seeing the students who are walking from the gold line?

551
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:38,820
Yeah.

552
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,300
The gold line to school.

553
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:42,900
More than one block, yeah.

554
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:43,680
Right.

555
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:44,680
Yeah.

556
00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:49,240
We can look at the timing of the route that's already there.

557
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:53,000
But I think part of it is that isn't a very far walk.

558
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:59,680
And so having something special for the bus just to do during that time is probably not very cost effective.

559
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,020
May be a separate shuttle of S Arts wants to do that. But just given that distance, I don't even, I mean, as far as even having another stop.

560
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,160
We have a stop there. Yeah. Yeah.

561
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:20,160
And it's an additional stop. Right. Well, no, we already have a stop at the station.

562
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:28,000
OK. So they could be getting on right now. It just could be at the hour that you're talking about seeing all of those students.

563
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,940
You know, they're not being captured within that 10 minutes that they're walking up the street.

564
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:33,520
Perhaps.

565
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Yeah. Okay.

566
00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:39,960
But it's something that we can talk to see CSRs about and find out, you know, what that specific

567
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,140
time is that they're finding their students are getting off.

568
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:43,420
Right.

569
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,940
Because sometimes, yes, Metro, right? Is that what you're thinking?

570
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:46,980
At the Bullenham, sorry.

571
00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:47,280
Yeah.

572
00:40:47,420 --> 00:40:52,420
Go online and then somewhere close by for an investor and what is that? Evergreen?

573
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:53,240
Yes.

574
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:53,540
Yes.

575
00:40:53,540 --> 00:40:54,120
That's evergreen.

576
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:54,380
Right.

577
00:40:54,380 --> 00:40:55,640
before they cross the street together.

578
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,220
Sometimes I see students, they're carrying all these massive things

579
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:02,640
that they're doing for the projects and so on.

580
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,220
Sam, are you trying to make sure that kids are going to not

581
00:41:06,220 --> 00:41:06,980
get to exercise?

582
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:16,980
Not to exercise, but I'm thinking I'm also, I think the sidewalk

583
00:41:16,980 --> 00:41:20,320
appropriate project that's there is to wind up the sidewalk,

584
00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:23,460
so that the kids will stay on the sidewalk.

585
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:25,000
because I know where you're talking about.

586
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:29,700
I see some of the sidewalks in the area and then they'll come off the sidewalk

587
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,060
and they'll kind of walk along the street.

588
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,500
So I think the sidewalk improvement plan will kind of help them stay on the sidewalk.

589
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,200
It definitely will assist the path that you're talking about.

590
00:41:37,380 --> 00:41:40,580
I think Margaret's thinking about how she walked to school was it 40 miles?

591
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:45,140
And it was always like, you know, even when I was waiting.

592
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:47,400
Miss Bailey would know the one had to walk.

593
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,140
I had to walk for Maxwell's.

594
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,780
And it was always snowing too, right?

595
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,220
There's always snowing too.

596
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,780
It was no one but it was rain in real bad, but it's something to consider. I want to imagine and right because

597
00:41:58,780 --> 00:42:04,110
ridership perspective. Right, I do. We want to capture whoever we can. You know what? We will see

598
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,540
Dr. Cook and

599
00:42:06,540 --> 00:42:21,260
Nicole tomorrow at rotary. I'll see kind of how they feel. Yeah, I think something to help help out those students sometimes. I think it's good

600
00:42:21,260 --> 00:42:23,980
All right, do we have any other questions for Kristen?

601
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:25,240
Let's get hot.

602
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,660
It's not.

603
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:27,180
It's not.

604
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:27,540
Kelsman, I think.

605
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,320
Oh, no.

606
00:42:30,580 --> 00:42:33,680
I did want to say one thing.

607
00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:37,400
Congratulations to Foothill Transit because

608
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:44,340
Dorn and everybody there, they are the newest member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority.

609
00:42:47,140 --> 00:42:52,780
And so I hope you guys are going to be able to make it to the executive forum on pretty

610
00:42:52,780 --> 00:42:52,860
sure.

611
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:58,100
October 9th, 10th, 10th, 11th or something like that.

612
00:42:58,340 --> 00:43:05,600
And actually, our parks and director is one of five finalists for the Risk Manager of the

613
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:06,580
Year.

614
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,420
He's really not looking up.

615
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,720
So anyway, I hope to see you out there.

616
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:15,740
I don't know if you don't stop talking about it, but I'm going to park up.

617
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:17,660
All right.

618
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:24,760
Well, if we have no further questions, can we get a motion?

619
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:26,560
So move, second.

620
00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:27,960
All in favor?

621
00:43:28,860 --> 00:43:29,260
Hi.

622
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:29,720
Hi.

623
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,660
And any opposed?

624
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:31,440
None.

625
00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:32,300
Motion carries.

626
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:33,420
Thank you, Kristen.

627
00:43:34,740 --> 00:43:35,260
Thank you, Doran.

628
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,080
And Jill for coming out to see you guys.

629
00:43:37,660 --> 00:43:38,940
I'm always great to see you.

630
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:39,480
All right.

631
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:58,640
Moving on to business item 10 item agenda 10 business item B consideration of approval to approve a letter of support for the California American water decoupling proposal to the California Public Utilities Commission under S

632
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,920
We're just meeting through this meeting tonight. It's great.

633
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,540
So before we get to the net, how can you change the slide?

634
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,900
Before we get to the netty gritty on this item,

635
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,960
I'd like to give a bit of a nuts and bolts over you of what the coupling is.

636
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:21,720
So the coupling is essentially a tool that utility companies use to avoid over collection or on the collection

637
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:24,740
when they charge utility fees to their clients.

638
00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:31,660
And essentially the way it works is that it tracks a difference between what the CPUC authorizes

639
00:44:31,660 --> 00:44:36,600
as projected revenue and compares that with what the actual recorded revenue is.

640
00:44:37,340 --> 00:44:39,040
So there's two outcomes to this.

641
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:45,040
If there's an overcollection, that's when the recorded revenue is more than the CPUC projected revenue.

642
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:52,560
when that happens, a refund is given to the client.

643
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,820
On the other hand, another collection occurs when the recorded

644
00:44:56,820 --> 00:44:59,980
or the actual sales is less than what the...

645
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:13,980
If you see projected sales model was, in that case, what are utility companies are authorized to, essentially, provide a surge charge to customer, so they can collect that gap.

646
00:45:13,980 --> 00:45:22,060
So the purpose of decoupling is if effective, it aligns with California's water conservation goals

647
00:45:22,060 --> 00:45:29,340
because it removes a financial incentive to sell more water by literally decoupling cells from revenues.

648
00:45:30,980 --> 00:45:41,280
So that again theoretically leads to lower bills for low usage customers and addresses the arguments that

649
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:48,460
to the companies have a very significant fixed cost and it doesn't fluctuate year to year so they need a more stable revenue source.

650
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,160
Next slide please.

651
00:45:55,100 --> 00:46:11,540
So with all that said, for the 24 to 26 year GRC, general rate cost, case, in other words, you know, when the CPUC authorizes how much water companies are able to charge,

652
00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:16,480
Goldensee Water, which includes KLM, submitted its GRC to the CPUC.

653
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:23,280
In 2019, the CPUC held a workshop where the Public Advocates Office issued a report

654
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,820
that recommended to replace the coupling.

655
00:46:25,940 --> 00:46:31,560
Under the basis, that one-up kit actually had no significant impact on water consumption

656
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,800
and two was actually impacting customer bills.

657
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:43,480
customer bills. So with that said, in July 2020, you're after the CPUC using that report

658
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:51,680
decided to remove full decoupling from the GRC. The utility companies, you know, spearheaded by

659
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:57,900
Golden State Water were not too happy about this and they argued that they were not properly

660
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:04,340
notified that removing decoupling was even something for discussion, so therefore they were not able

661
00:47:04,340 --> 00:47:08,740
to provide any counter-robotals or any formal evidence

662
00:47:08,740 --> 00:47:09,780
of vapor of the coupling.

663
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,520
That was taken to court, and the courts, essentially,

664
00:47:14,460 --> 00:47:17,640
cited four kelam, saying that they weren't properly notified.

665
00:47:17,900 --> 00:47:21,420
So that leads us to now, Jesus' site, please.

666
00:47:22,380 --> 00:47:26,640
At the re-hearing for October 17, a couple things

667
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,440
that we do know, since then, kelam has provided some arguments

668
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:37,620
of favor of the coupling, mostly that since 2010, or recollection has been triggered nine

669
00:47:37,620 --> 00:47:42,060
times, meaning that there's been a $9.7 million distribution in credits to clients.

670
00:47:44,660 --> 00:47:50,420
And the City of California tends to want to embrace the coupling of evidence via SB 1469

671
00:47:50,420 --> 00:47:56,080
that was passed since September 2022 due to this case.

672
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:01,040
And again, it's really that public advocates office finding

673
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:06,220
reports that states that, again, no significant impact on water consumption.

674
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:13,080
And there's, you know, the customer bill rates and carry the burden when

675
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,440
the projection model doesn't work.

676
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,140
So since then, again, Helm has provided some of the

677
00:48:20,140 --> 00:48:23,380
bottles to this, but given the complexity of the reports and the

678
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:25,000
for information provided.

679
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,440
We really can't provide a comprehensive analysis as to which

680
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,580
it's the correct one.

681
00:48:31,980 --> 00:48:34,880
So that's why we're here tonight to ask you if you would like to either

682
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,320
A, A should this letter support in favor of the coupling or

683
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,500
not do anything?

684
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:43,960
Do you have any questions from Council?

685
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:49,720
Yeah, I'm not sure.

686
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:50,220
May I vote?

687
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,300
I just feel like we don't have enough information

688
00:48:53,300 --> 00:49:00,440
to make it this season tonight. For one, I would like to know whether the base rates of the end

689
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:09,440
users if you keep to coupling. And what the arguments would be if it's not really significant

690
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,400
on water consumption, then I just, I wouldn't have loved to hear that from Kala.

691
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,100
Why are we not doing that? Why do we have Brian Baretto come?

692
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:23,980
you know so Cal American requested this letter one week ago so that's why

693
00:49:23,980 --> 00:49:28,600
staff is just bringing this to you for discussion without recommendation from us

694
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,300
because we didn't have time to fully analyze both sides of this so at this

695
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:42,140
time unless council has a good grasp on this topic we can not take action or

696
00:49:42,140 --> 00:49:48,700
send a letter. This is already being heard by the CPUC because the California Supreme Court

697
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:54,700
sent it back for a hearing. So this will take place with or without our support.

698
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:59,980
Yeah. Yeah, there's a bit of a timing issue. I think they need letters by a top of

699
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:05,020
So, yeah, with all due respect of the timing,

700
00:50:08,540 --> 00:50:13,920
the information provided, which is not much, me personally, I rather

701
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:18,000
us just not doing anything. And because the courts are already hearing on this and we can kind

702
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,280
of sit back on a sidelines to figure out what's going to happen there before we really have to do

703
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:27,800
something about it. And in the meantime, maybe we can gather some more information on what decoupling

704
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:33,980
or if it does help or if it doesn't help because it's there's a lot of information here

705
00:50:33,980 --> 00:50:39,440
but what I'm hearing you tell me it just sounds like CPU, C just wants to phrase the

706
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,820
costs and they just want to do something about that because.

707
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:50,260
And I kind of agree with Tony just looking at this one page since 2010 over collection has

708
00:50:50,260 --> 00:51:02,580
triggered nine times. Okay, was that all at once or was this spread out equally for those

709
00:51:02,580 --> 00:51:10,760
14 years? How many people did it impact? There are just so many questions here and it's

710
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:17,900
just not really concrete? Yeah, I'm trying to understand this because CPUC is an oversight, right?

711
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:25,640
It's a public utility commission to oversee these utility companies.

712
00:51:26,540 --> 00:51:33,160
So we're trying to go ahead and decouple, like what Margaret said, I mean, if they over collected

713
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:39,440
nine times in 14 years, hey, that's a good thing, right?

714
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:48,000
if it seems like CPUCs auditing them, if that's the case, I'm not even quite sure, right?

715
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,460
If they're oversiting them, then they're probably auditing them.

716
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,480
And if they're able to go ahead and see that customers are actually...

717
00:51:57,420 --> 00:52:01,560
They're over collecting from the customers, and they're able to go and reimburse that money back.

718
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,440
That's a good thing. I don't see why this...

719
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:12,060
If we decouple, I'm just not understanding this that it was significant impact of water

720
00:52:12,060 --> 00:52:15,340
But it does not significant impact that water consumption

721
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,300
Very significant impact on the customer bill. How?

722
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,440
Yeah, I don't see my water bill go down

723
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,260
Right, it's not going

724
00:52:24,260 --> 00:52:28,400
And then one more thing and Kristen you probably know this because

725
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:33,060
Monrovia changed it over to a different utility company, right?

726
00:52:33,060 --> 00:52:40,740
Because I think you guys, Monrovia did a community aggregated and then started doing solar and then I think the promise was that

727
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:49,080
It's gonna be cheaper in the utility bill, but actually went way up. So I don't know. I'm just trying to understand what is it?

728
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:55,500
And I don't know. It's it's way, I mean, it's way above my jurisdiction to go ahead and say, you know,

729
00:52:55,500 --> 00:53:00,500
I just don't think I can go in and give them a letter for that, knowing a little bit more about this.

730
00:53:01,380 --> 00:53:09,320
And again, there is a re-hearing on October 17th, where the actual analysis is going to be made by the CPC, where the evidence is will be provided there.

731
00:53:09,540 --> 00:53:11,280
That might be the best venue to have this issue.

732
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:12,500
Is that October 17th?

733
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:15,420
So we have another meeting between now and there.

734
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:21,200
Hope that they need to letter by October 14th, so they can present it at the hearing in October 17th.

735
00:53:21,460 --> 00:53:21,820
Okay.

736
00:53:21,820 --> 00:53:23,320
How many people are four against it?

737
00:53:23,580 --> 00:53:25,620
Oh, I'll just say move to receive and file.

738
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:27,180
Okay.

739
00:53:28,780 --> 00:53:29,080
All right.

740
00:53:29,860 --> 00:53:31,780
We have a motion in a second.

741
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,080
All the favor?

742
00:53:33,220 --> 00:53:33,920
All right.

743
00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:34,920
Any opposed?

744
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:35,940
None.

745
00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:37,420
Motion carries to do nothing.

746
00:53:37,900 --> 00:53:38,120
Thank you.

747
00:53:38,220 --> 00:53:39,800
Thank you.

748
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:42,180
Yeah.

749
00:53:42,180 --> 00:53:44,900
That was a really good presentation for.

750
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:46,900
Yeah.

751
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,140
For what we didn't really understand.

752
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:53,140
But I think it was a really good presentation.

753
00:53:53,140 --> 00:54:00,400
And, like I said, it's big for yourself when it's family, I didn't understand a word he said.

754
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:05,360
All right, we're going to move on to agenda item number 11 is continuation of or communication.

755
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,700
And then do you have any public comments?

756
00:54:08,180 --> 00:54:08,960
No comments, Mayor.

757
00:54:09,180 --> 00:54:09,920
Okay, thank you.

758
00:54:10,340 --> 00:54:15,700
Any audience members like to step to podium and speak at this time?

759
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,220
I see none.

760
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:18,720
Oh, wow.

761
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:24,240
I don't know number 12, I don't know from the City Council, Housing Authority, Finance Authority,

762
00:54:24,460 --> 00:54:32,560
Members and City Manager, Executive Directors, Reports of Meetings, Attendant Per, Government Code, Section 5, 3, 2, 3, 2,

763
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:41,380
Point 3, Larry, you can tell us how your vacation was, you need a vacation from your vacation.

764
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,720
Yeah, what was your favorite place?

765
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:49,380
Wow, it's beautiful.

766
00:54:52,780 --> 00:54:56,520
So, what did you like do there?

767
00:54:57,300 --> 00:54:58,300
Check beer.

768
00:54:58,680 --> 00:54:59,040
He does it.

769
00:54:59,260 --> 00:54:59,980
Boy, those people.

770
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:21,740
All right, thank you very, Craig, Daniel? Just a couple of real quick things. I did attend a meeting with the

771
00:55:21,740 --> 00:55:25,500
League California City's yesterday with the Los Angeles County Fire Association.

772
00:55:27,740 --> 00:55:28,300
They were looking

773
00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:36,360
for the support from League on Measure E. Measure E, we will see in November, it is six per square

774
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:43,840
foot parcel tax that affect the fire districts of which we are one. There are 59 cities in the

775
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:50,400
fire district that any unincorporated areas that incorporate 2,306 square miles in 174 stations.

776
00:55:51,100 --> 00:55:58,240
Now, the why? So, in 2020 the same measure went before the voters, it gained 54% of the vote at the time,

777
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:04,780
it needed two thirds. This is a citizen-led initiative and only needs 50% plus one. So why is this

778
00:56:04,780 --> 00:56:12,100
needed? Well, we heard from the firefighters. I don't know if you can guess the average age

779
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:18,700
of the firefighting vehicles fleet for Los Angeles County Fire, so they look old. Not from

780
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:25,220
your Tony. They look old. They're probably, she's almost say like 50, 60 years old. How would you say?

781
00:56:25,220 --> 00:56:27,860
50. Oh, okay. They're better than that.

782
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:35,080
27 is the average life of of the vehicles in their fleet.

783
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:41,560
I don't know about you, but after 25 years, I think that's becomes considered to antique.

784
00:56:42,940 --> 00:56:53,820
They're this is the first fire they said these last three fires that they said they had to turn fire fighters and send them back home because they didn't have enough vehicles to send out on a mutual aid request.

785
00:56:53,820 --> 00:57:05,950
Wow. So there are dire needs there. Our 911 system. It's analog. It's still based off of landline. Yes, so

786
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:11,480
that needs to be replaced. They're computer systems. There's old is the share of the

787
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:19,280
department systems, which they no longer make anymore either. They also would like to reduce the

788
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,180
bonds times, which have crept up over the years.

789
00:57:23,780 --> 00:57:26,800
As far as staffing, they're in a good place,

790
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,380
and they have a plan right now.

791
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,620
They're only about 120 bodies down,

792
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,400
according to what we heard yesterday.

793
00:57:33,220 --> 00:57:35,080
But the other biggest thing is equipment.

794
00:57:36,540 --> 00:57:39,860
The jaws of life, which I'll see are cool, open up doors,

795
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,920
extract people from accidents.

796
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,360
Used to be pneumatic operated, and that's battery pack.

797
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:47,580
But they don't have those in all the units.

798
00:57:47,580 --> 00:57:52,580
There's also something calm, shoot, I can't remember what the name of it is.

799
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,800
Maybe I wrote it down if I could see it, I can read my notes.

800
00:57:57,660 --> 00:58:01,960
Anyway, it does the compressions for you when CPR's happening.

801
00:58:02,780 --> 00:58:05,220
And they said it's amazing.

802
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,540
They're bringing back people that they never could have brought back before.

803
00:58:09,020 --> 00:58:09,940
That's not on every.

804
00:58:10,140 --> 00:58:11,680
Defibrillators are not on every unit.

805
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:17,820
So, bottom line, I think that, and we will bring something back

806
00:58:17,820 --> 00:58:21,660
before Council talking about all these points, working with the League.

807
00:58:22,700 --> 00:58:29,500
But I think the last time they said any adjustments had been made to the district was 50 years

808
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:29,760
ago.

809
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:30,440
5-0.

810
00:58:31,180 --> 00:58:36,500
So, the inflation time between here and there has gone up significantly.

811
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:42,720
lately, the contract cities that are not in here have all seen their rates already increase.

812
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:49,820
That was a big push and a big, to do earlier this year that's been kind of modified

813
00:58:49,820 --> 00:58:52,200
to not be hit all at once and spread out.

814
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:59,540
But the bottom line is the sense of kind of fire department is in need of funding on the equipment

815
00:58:59,540 --> 00:59:00,140
side.

816
00:59:00,940 --> 00:59:05,720
Unlike the shares department which receives their funding from the Allegheny Board of Supervisors,

817
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,980
the fire department get zero because they get their money from the fire districts and

818
00:59:10,980 --> 00:59:17,600
and because the CEO can't touch the fire districts they said we're not giving you any unless you share.

819
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,160
So, this again.

820
00:59:20,940 --> 00:59:26,280
One of those things, it was very interesting but we will bring more back to you that's just a quick report on that meeting.

821
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:31,520
Last but not least, I did attend the Singapore Valley City Manager Association where they discuss measure A,

822
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,100
which is going to be the half-cent tax that will replace measure H.

823
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,520
It's a measure that goes in perpetuity.

824
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:44,620
It would also raise our rate above the cap to 10.75,

825
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,820
instead of 10.5 up until 2028, when I think something else on sets.

826
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:57,020
So right now, we will come in back to you with analysis on that as well.

827
00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:59,740
I can tell you the flavor in the Sangeable Valley.

828
00:59:59,740 --> 00:59:59,980
Thanks.

829
01:00:01,180 --> 01:00:07,760
City is not happy with it. And last but not, last but not least, but I didn't want to say,

830
01:00:08,060 --> 01:00:12,900
Tennessee picnic and manual in the parks and wrecks staff headed out of the park again.

831
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,940
That's it. Thank you, Brian. Ty, see you, I mean, city attorney.

832
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,120
Councilwoman Martin Delcubo.

833
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:25,560
I went to the Hill Metro Extension meeting last Thursday, nothing to significant report.

834
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:33,380
Um, again, just thank you to everybody involved in the picnic. It was amazing. I went with my seven year old who said, well, mom, you guys through such a good party.

835
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,500
I think he just really likes to hang out with a Mayor Trong's son's a lot.

836
01:00:37,860 --> 01:00:45,520
So that's probably why it was so snow, but he loved it. Every booth. Everyone was so nice to him. He had a good time, so I thought everybody there having a good time.

837
01:00:45,580 --> 01:00:47,400
And that's always the best thing to see.

838
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:48,540
That's it for me.

839
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:49,600
Thank you, Castle with it.

840
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,420
Let's see. I've already talked a few about the adjournments.

841
01:00:54,420 --> 01:01:03,420
Let's see. Oh, being out walking. A couple of people brought something up, which I thought was,

842
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:10,660
is maybe something we can put in our newsletters? People are feeding the coyotes.

843
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:19,900
And while the animals, such as the bears, and now we have bear proof trash cans,

844
01:01:19,900 --> 01:01:25,540
and coyotes, they will go where the food is.

845
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:31,600
So maybe there's something that we can do to remind people,

846
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,580
not to feed these animals.

847
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:43,140
And I know there were people up where I live that were actually putting food out for the bears.

848
01:01:45,140 --> 01:01:49,880
So anyway, if we could put something-

849
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:56,180
municipal code that prohibits feeding wildlife, okay, we will cover that as well as why you

850
01:01:56,180 --> 01:02:04,680
shouldn't attract wildlife in the city. Okay, next thing we went to Grace the Polotano's

851
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:14,980
retirement party. Sam was there and Caesar and it was really nice function. You talk about

852
01:02:14,980 --> 01:02:23,040
who's who? David Dryer. Well, remember David Dryer. He was there. Of course, a couple

853
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:31,800
of county supervisors, other congressional people. Just Ed Hernandez, just people that

854
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:37,520
have really, really loved what Grace has done over the years. And she, I think she's been

855
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:44,100
serving, she was first selected to the, I forgot to bring the flyer. She was first selected.

856
01:02:44,100 --> 01:02:48,740
I think in 86 to the Norwalk City Council.

857
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:54,600
So she's been around a long time and she's given up a lot

858
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,520
as has her family for her to do these things.

859
01:02:59,020 --> 01:03:05,000
I was in our son, our youngest son, live back in Washington, D.C.

860
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,660
He was doing his residency at Walter Reed.

861
01:03:08,660 --> 01:03:16,360
And so we went to see Grace at the Rayburn building or whatever it was there.

862
01:03:17,060 --> 01:03:20,560
And so I just said, hey, why don't you come over for Sunday, dinner sometime,

863
01:03:22,620 --> 01:03:23,780
to Evans' house?

864
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,340
Well, I figured, you know, she was always too busy.

865
01:03:28,180 --> 01:03:31,180
Well, she called me and said, hey, I'm free this Sunday.

866
01:03:31,460 --> 01:03:33,760
So we drove down to Georgetown and picked her up.

867
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:38,160
And I just remember seeing her there and you know how we always think,

868
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:44,440
this is going to be super fun, be a congressional rep, and I can honestly say I would never

869
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:51,720
have an interest in doing it. Seeing her there, she's without her family, she has to do

870
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:57,660
those cross-country flights all the time and I thought to myself, nope, that is just something

871
01:03:57,660 --> 01:04:03,400
I would never ever want to do. So I appreciate what she's done. She's been a massive help to us.

872
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:33,380
the the bike path money from the federal grant. She, she has helped us. I remember one time being back there in Washington, D.C. I walked into her office and I said, what's this deal with these trucks that are going to be carrying the sludge from Santa Fe Dam down to Warty Road and she said, wait a minute. So she picked up her phone and she called Colonel, whoever, with the Army Corps of Engineers and we never ever

873
01:04:33,380 --> 01:04:39,040
saw one of those trucks on DeWarty Road and they were supposed to be 900 of them.

874
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:46,640
So she really did a lot for our community, we're going to miss her a whole lot and clearly

875
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:52,680
there were so many people there that just think that she has been a great representative

876
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:59,160
for our area and that we're talking crossing party lines, everything and she's the oldest member

877
01:04:59,160 --> 01:04:59,980
in the house of R-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E

878
01:05:04,540 --> 01:05:26,960
So, I'm sure you've gotten a few calls, but anyway. So, and that's all I have for this evening. Thank you.

879
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,240
Thank you councilmember Lewis.

880
01:05:33,980 --> 01:05:50,640
Thank you mayor. I just want to say Saturday, apologize for not being able to attend the park and I had to work there's one of the few Saturdays that I actually had to work.

881
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:56,980
And I'm sorry, and I apologize that I missed it.

882
01:05:57,260 --> 01:06:01,080
I don't have that much more to say.

883
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,940
I thank you, and God bless.

884
01:06:04,380 --> 01:06:06,120
Thank you, Kasimura Lewis, Kasimura came.

885
01:06:06,660 --> 01:06:07,160
Thank you, Mayor.

886
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:08,790
Yeah, the picnic was awesome.

887
01:06:09,260 --> 01:06:10,620
Man, you don't great job.

888
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,560
You seriously hit it out of park again and again.

889
01:06:13,940 --> 01:06:15,580
And love is t-shirts, so don't worry.

890
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,100
It's so soft, man.

891
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,060
You really, really know how to go and brand.

892
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:25,400
and I really appreciate you for doing such a good job on branding side.

893
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:30,120
We need that, we need to be consistent in just to make us great.

894
01:06:30,500 --> 01:06:31,140
That's what we want.

895
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,440
We want to go ahead and have that perception of

896
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:39,140
We're a great city to be and people want to come

897
01:06:39,940 --> 01:06:43,320
and stay here and raise their family here.

898
01:06:43,580 --> 01:06:45,400
That's the main thing that we want to go ahead and do.

899
01:06:45,740 --> 01:06:46,800
So really appreciate that.

900
01:06:46,800 --> 01:07:10,120
Um, I totally echo what Margaret had said, um, in regards to Graceland Napolitano, she's been so wonderful and, you know, just, just looking at her party, her retirement party and her staff, all of them have been there for at least 10, 15 years.

901
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:15,260
That really shows how she is as a person.

902
01:07:16,060 --> 01:07:18,160
I really think she's a super empathetic person,

903
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,100
because she really cares, she listens,

904
01:07:21,140 --> 01:07:22,360
and not like some politicians,

905
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:25,860
they just pretend whatever she really does.

906
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:28,920
She listens and she tries to understand

907
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,160
what the constituents want and so on.

908
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,040
And I remember there was one time,

909
01:07:35,220 --> 01:07:37,400
she said she called me and said Sam,

910
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,520
we didn't go ahead and do something about economic development.

911
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:50,600
And I'm not sure if you guys remember that, there was probably 7 years ago when we brought in the Council at General from China.

912
01:07:50,980 --> 01:08:04,180
He came on over here with grace and then we had a huge discussion about how to do more American products to export out and import it into China.

913
01:08:04,180 --> 01:08:12,200
And that was so interesting that she took the lead on that, and I was like, okay, well, I'll help you, I'll bring everyone in together.

914
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:21,200
She really does care. She cares about how to go ahead and make things better for many people.

915
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:26,840
And it's not just the economy, the mental health part, which is so important.

916
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:39,220
As I get older, I can see and understand more about people, it's like, wow, it's such a need for mental health and she championed it in Congress.

917
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:47,740
It's such a need for better understanding where they're coming from, what kind of issues they have and how do you help these people.

918
01:08:47,740 --> 01:08:54,660
So mental health is definitely a huge thing, especially for all the homeless people or at the

919
01:08:54,660 --> 01:08:57,460
verge of becoming homeless and so on.

920
01:08:57,620 --> 01:09:01,040
There's a lot of stuff that's going on and we've got to the home, we need to help these

921
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:01,380
people.

922
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:10,180
So I really do appreciate her for gosh, for past 11 years, and Pearl of Hernandez, one of my best

923
01:09:10,180 --> 01:09:11,500
friends out there.

924
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:18,800
She's been great too and same with Bob Pence. These people have been really great people

925
01:09:20,300 --> 01:09:25,020
But looking forward for for Gill right to to come in and see how it goes, but

926
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,840
Anyways, that's it. Oh one more thing one more thing I want to go and talk about is

927
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:38,060
Sergeant there was actually a I believe there was a T.C. How happened maybe a

928
01:09:38,060 --> 01:09:44,540
ago right in front of my house. So I guess there was a truck that hit another truck right on

929
01:09:44,540 --> 01:09:54,140
Huntington and then I believe my my my neighbor said they called for for for for for for

930
01:09:54,140 --> 01:09:59,220
for deputies but they had at three thirty but they didn't show up until eight thirty so can you

931
01:09:59,220 --> 01:09:59,940
look into that.

932
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,100
I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I'm sorry.

933
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:11,600
Yeah, yesterday there are two days ago, right? Yeah, two, yeah. Okay, thank you. That's it.

934
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,800
Thank you, Councillor McKamir. Thank you, Mayor.

935
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,000
Congresswoman's retirement party was bittersweet.

936
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:28,160
You know, I've only been on for a little bit, but I've got into benefit from all the stuff that she's done.

937
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,580
You know, you talked about championing mental health,

938
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,980
but what she's done for veterans in water,

939
01:10:34,740 --> 01:10:35,960
what she's done for our riverbed.

940
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:38,100
That's incredible.

941
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,080
So whoever may be who's next has a big shoes to feel.

942
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,220
And we just hope to keep building on what she has set

943
01:10:48,220 --> 01:10:49,760
the foundation she has set.

944
01:10:50,660 --> 01:10:54,360
But continuing, I want to thank Michelle

945
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,900
for throwing the health fair today.

946
01:10:56,900 --> 01:11:03,620
That was lovely and incredible the amount of vendors and booths that you had here in resources.

947
01:11:04,740 --> 01:11:08,860
I regret not putting my name in the raffle because those were some nice prices that

948
01:11:08,860 --> 01:11:11,640
So congratulations to all the raffle winners.

949
01:11:13,140 --> 01:11:15,740
City picnic, you mentioned the shirts in the branding.

950
01:11:16,260 --> 01:11:23,260
That was actually a George who did that design and I want to thank him for that and

951
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:30,260

952
01:11:30,260 --> 01:11:34,940
for quite some time and I appreciate that because I love branding.

953
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:38,140

what we call showcase the showcase was amazing we have so much talent in the

960
01:12:22,020 --> 01:12:29,240
city. I'm excited for that expansion and giving them that extra square footage to practice

961
01:12:29,860 --> 01:12:35,940
and I can't wait to see all of the stars that come out of that program. What else do we have

962
01:12:35,940 --> 01:12:41,280
going on? What else have we done? I just, there's so much to keep up with and so I want to

963
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:48,600
think of the departments that make this city what it is. We celebrated 67 years and I mentioned

964
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:53,720
the park I can't wait to see what the next 67 look like and hope we're here to see it.

965
01:12:55,480 --> 01:12:55,960
Thank you.

966
01:12:56,340 --> 01:12:56,700
Thank you.

967
01:12:56,700 --> 01:12:57,180
I don't know.

968
01:12:57,300 --> 01:12:57,620
Thank you.

969
01:12:58,380 --> 01:13:01,580
You speaking of the Dory Boxing showcase.

970
01:13:02,140 --> 01:13:04,800
Thank you to Councilman Terminal.com.

971
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:05,940
The sponsored about.

972
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:06,600
Did you?

973
01:13:08,420 --> 01:13:09,240
Oh, you?

974
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:09,700
We all did.

975
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:10,440
We all did.

976
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:10,660
We all did.

977
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:11,700
Oh, you sponsored.

978
01:13:12,380 --> 01:13:13,980
Lots of sponsors from Council.

979
01:13:14,380 --> 01:13:14,920
From Council.

980
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,540
Individuals and Council as a whole.

981
01:13:17,540 --> 01:13:26,580
But going back on to the picnic, I think that one, I want to thank the Sarge and Manuel for letting my kids

982
01:13:26,580 --> 01:13:32,280
correct the confetti eggs over your head multiple times. They tried to do, you know, I said,

983
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:38,940
nope, so thank you guys for taking that one. The picnic, as I said when I was there when I was

984
01:13:38,940 --> 01:13:45,060
up there speaking, I've gone to that picnic for quite a long time. I remember back in elementary school,

985
01:13:45,060 --> 01:13:49,560
that I was going to that picnic, and he used to be at Rolex Park, and I've always thought

986
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:55,040
that Rolex Park was a great location, but it was small. And it didn't feel like we could

987
01:13:55,040 --> 01:14:00,540
fit as much as we wanted to there. But when we moved over in Canto, it felt like we could fit almost

988
01:14:00,540 --> 01:14:07,660
everything that we want at that picnic, and more, and also not having to cross the street to TPC

989
01:14:07,660 --> 01:14:13,060
part two to see the car show was was was awesome on the speaking of the car show.

990
01:14:13,700 --> 01:14:18,660
I I thank you for giving me the permission to do a mayor's picking handing out a trophy.

991
01:14:19,380 --> 01:14:24,860
I picked a classic it was a bomber black it was decked out very it was complete.

992
01:14:25,220 --> 01:14:30,180
The owner of the car now doesn't look what they but they are doorie natives originally

993
01:14:30,180 --> 01:14:35,180
from doorie born in the area and he's doorie's everything even though I don't live here no more

994
01:14:35,180 --> 01:14:42,500
I love it here. I love where I grew up, so I had to make sure I had to pick him, but that

995
01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:47,360
picked it up was great. I think 67 years, it's about the collaboration and previous council

996
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,840
what they've done and also the city staff and previous staff and what they've done too, so I think

997
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:57,680
that's awesome and like Mayor Pro Temps said, I wish to be able to see another 67 years. I don't know

998
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,980
Mayor. Can I just...

999
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:11,060
I'm just curious since next year we're going to go ahead and do the parade. How are we going to go ahead and make it happen?

1000
01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:16,060
I'm signing on. Yeah, you did tell everybody that we're going to do it.

1001
01:15:16,180 --> 01:15:27,320
We're going to do it. So before we will go on mount all of, right? Now, if we're going to go to Enkanto, how's that going to work? I'm just curious.

1002
01:15:27,940 --> 01:15:32,540
That's what the meetings are for between the city and the root 66 committee.

1003
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:34,420
But I have ideas.

1004
01:15:35,220 --> 01:15:35,240
Cool.

1005
01:15:35,540 --> 01:15:36,520
Right on.

1006
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:43,140
As long as we're still doing that, I really want to thank you too for allowing organizations

1007
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,240
like Rotary to make money at this picnic.

1008
01:15:46,940 --> 01:15:56,480
We don't have a lot of opportunities, but I know our Rotary Club made almost $600 there.

1009
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:57,940
So, and ice?

1010
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:58,920
So, and ice.

1011
01:15:59,780 --> 01:16:00,340
Do you have ice?

1012
01:16:01,260 --> 01:16:01,400
Ice?

1013
01:16:01,780 --> 01:16:01,940
Yeah.

1014
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:03,540
Wow.

1015
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:04,660
Yeah.

1016
01:16:04,780 --> 01:16:05,820
We all made ice.

1017
01:16:06,020 --> 01:16:06,460
Wow.

1018
01:16:06,700 --> 01:16:10,640
So, I wish I had expenses with the cups in the store and I didn't taste like that, but

1019
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:11,700
we still made it almost like that.

1020
01:16:11,700 --> 01:16:13,740
Well, I know my kids had three cups of those.

1021
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,460
I had a cup.

1022
01:16:15,660 --> 01:16:15,700
I had a cup.

1023
01:16:15,700 --> 01:16:16,280
Good thing.

1024
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,580
Anyway, that's a great thank you.

1025
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:20,720
You're very good at that.

1026
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:23,540
Thank you, Tara.

1027
01:16:24,700 --> 01:16:25,960
Thank you, Tara.

1028
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:31,660
could parade his two years for the 100th anniversary of Route 66.

1029
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:32,900
Why don't we just do it next year?

1030
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:33,760
Which one of that?

1031
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,060
Well, you better start getting a community again and then start having me.

1032
01:16:36,260 --> 01:16:36,640
Let's do it.

1033
01:16:36,940 --> 01:16:37,820
Let's do it.

1034
01:16:38,300 --> 01:16:45,240
Well, and also wanted to say, we, obviously, we attended the North San Diego River Red

1035
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,260
working group last week.

1036
01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:54,060
We did talk a little bit about Congresswoman leaving office and the next person stepping up.

1037
01:16:54,060 --> 01:16:58,500
And I mean, to whoever's watching right now at home,

1038
01:16:59,060 --> 01:17:01,600
whoever that person is, that's going to step into that role,

1039
01:17:02,380 --> 01:17:04,880
I think the river bed, the North San Gabriel River bed,

1040
01:17:05,140 --> 01:17:08,820
here, in our backyard, between the Wardier Mandel and Azusa,

1041
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,860
it's a very important piece, and I hope they don't forget about it.

1042
01:17:12,860 --> 01:17:17,040
And I hope they continue to do as well as she has done,

1043
01:17:17,260 --> 01:17:21,120
and be able to provide us the resources that she has provided to us.

1044
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:26,400
I think that, I mean, that we're a bit, it's a long piece, it goes all the way down to

1045
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:27,600
the Senate pay debt, and more.

1046
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:32,960
But again, because we're so close to the mountains, there's a lot of things happening there.

1047
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:38,480
So with the council and all the work they've done with this group and forming this group,

1048
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:42,120
and the hard work that they've put in, we've been able to do a lot of good work.

1049
01:17:43,700 --> 01:17:50,260
And with the Congresswoman's connection to the Army Corps of Engineers,

1050
01:17:50,260 --> 01:17:55,780
we've been able to cooperate with them. So I hope whoever steps in next continues

1051
01:17:55,780 --> 01:18:01,620
that good work so that we can continue keeping that area safe as it can be.

1052
01:18:02,140 --> 01:18:06,260
Mayor, I don't have no problem going to Washington knocking on the door and being there

1053
01:18:06,260 --> 01:18:10,600
in force. You you said it. You said it. And you're going back there to ask for a dog park

1054
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:18,060
or something like that. I'm going to bring my coyote with me. And lastly, I attended a virtual

1055
01:18:18,060 --> 01:18:27,860
meaning for the work force development board, they're asking and wanting to kind of do some events

1056
01:18:27,860 --> 01:18:33,580
with the cities that are in that group and so I've asked them to reach out to city manager's

1057
01:18:33,580 --> 01:18:44,220
office and they said they'll be reaching out so are we still part of yes we are sir yes we are

1058
01:18:44,220 --> 01:18:45,160
Spicer, one of those.

1059
01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:47,940
Monrovia has, Monrovia is no longer part of that,

1060
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,340
but have joined the county.

1061
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:51,420
Oh, that's right.

1062
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,240
But Doria is still a part of that.

1063
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,200
So with that being said, as mentioned earlier,

1064
01:18:56,940 --> 01:19:00,500
we will adjourn tonight's meeting on behalf of Bill Sato

1065
01:19:00,500 --> 01:19:02,780
and Vols Rectors.

1066
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:03,600
Rectors?

1067
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:04,240
Yep, Rectors.

1068
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:06,480
All right, tonight's meeting is adjourned.

1069
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:07,080
Thank you all.

1070
01:19:07,140 --> 01:19:07,520
Thank you.

1071
01:19:08,140 --> 01:19:09,320
Good quick meeting, Dan.
