No cards.

24
00:01:14,063 --> 00:01:14,563
OK.

25
00:01:14,563 --> 00:01:17,278
Do we have anyone from the
public that wishes to speak

26
00:01:17,278 --> 00:01:21,568
on these special items already?

27
00:01:21,568 --> 00:01:24,808
We're going to move on to

28
00:01:24,808 --> 00:01:27,268
development Department
update with director Craig

29
00:01:27,268 --> 00:01:34,528
Hensley Thank you very much.

30
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:36,748
I'm going to be brief because
I know later Stephanie is going

31
00:01:36,748 --> 00:01:42,238
to be up here talking
about the recreation trail

32
00:01:42,238 --> 00:01:44,339
But we have some striping
job coming up soon.

33
00:01:44,339 --> 00:01:45,986
There'll be some city
work going on there.

34
00:01:45,986 --> 00:01:47,219
And one thing I want
to update you on

35
00:01:47,219 --> 00:01:49,108
is kind of been
gone back and forth

36
00:01:49,108 --> 00:01:51,508
for the last couple of years.

37
00:01:51,508 --> 00:01:54,838
But the property at
928, Huntington which

38
00:01:54,838 --> 00:01:57,426
is that's the piece on the
South side of the street

39
00:01:57,426 --> 00:01:59,265
is there used to be
a white building.

40
00:01:59,265 --> 00:02:00,328
Appreciate it.

41
00:02:00,328 --> 00:02:03,718
Up at the street, and
they did some grading

42
00:02:03,718 --> 00:02:11,098
There used to be a billboard
on the property for a while

43
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:13,380
that property, that project was
kind of did they got approved

44
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:15,808
and it was just on hold for
a while We had a meeting

45
00:02:15,808 --> 00:02:19,048
last week with the bank who
is taking that property back

46
00:02:19,048 --> 00:02:21,668
and they're going to be moving
forward with that project

47
00:02:21,668 --> 00:02:22,168
very soon.

48
00:02:22,168 --> 00:02:26,338
So that's that's some good news
on that particular development.

49
00:02:26,338 --> 00:02:28,648
Also the property
14, I want to send it

50
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:30,838
to Mingo It was 20 townhomes.

51
00:02:30,838 --> 00:02:35,428
This across from the entry
to Westminster Gardens That's

52
00:02:35,428 --> 00:02:39,172
in the last stages of of
its planned check process.

53
00:02:39,172 --> 00:02:40,558
And it's moving forward.

54
00:02:40,558 --> 00:02:42,628
So that's the
update that I have.

55
00:02:42,628 --> 00:02:46,461
I also I did just here the other
day that Jean Grinder, you know,

56
00:02:46,461 --> 00:02:47,428
it was coming to town, right?

57
00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:50,308
Everyone knew that, right But
I think they're opening i think

58
00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:52,888
it's a they're
opening the 21st and I

59
00:02:52,888 --> 00:02:55,018
think next week So next week.

60
00:02:55,018 --> 00:02:55,558
Yeah.

61
00:02:55,558 --> 00:02:58,438
The jeans grinders
next to Target

62
00:02:58,438 --> 00:03:00,298
in the old Buffalo Wild Wings.

63
00:03:00,298 --> 00:03:02,203
It's a it wasn't
Monrovia staple.

64
00:03:02,203 --> 00:03:04,198
But it's going to
become a staple.

65
00:03:04,198 --> 00:03:06,369
We take a sandwich shop
from monrovia Tony.

66
00:03:06,369 --> 00:03:09,875
Yes So we think we.

67
00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:11,459
That's right We know
it's gotten better.

68
00:03:11,459 --> 00:03:12,148
So great.

69
00:03:12,148 --> 00:03:15,088
Anything we take for
Monrovia is a plus Another

70
00:03:15,088 --> 00:03:17,518
we have a sorry, Francis,
is there a possibility we

71
00:03:17,518 --> 00:03:19,810
can support them?

72
00:03:19,810 --> 00:03:21,148
Press a press
release or something?

73
00:03:21,148 --> 00:03:23,578
I have been in communications
with the owners.

74
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:25,168
They've reached out
to me personally.

75
00:03:25,168 --> 00:03:27,088
So i will follow
up with them again.

76
00:03:27,088 --> 00:03:31,628
But I'm just pulling up what
I had seen just to confirm

77
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:33,378
But I believe it's the 20th.

78
00:03:33,378 --> 00:03:37,978
OK I still do a ribbon cutting
so if you have any questions,

79
00:03:37,978 --> 00:03:38,878
I'm here to anyone.

80
00:03:38,878 --> 00:03:40,239
Any questions from council?

81
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:41,030
I do.

82
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:41,557
OK.

83
00:03:41,557 --> 00:03:42,347
Go ahead.

84
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:44,608
Mayor Pro Tem Thank you, Mayor.

85
00:03:44,608 --> 00:03:51,108
I'm just curious what's going on
with the Wyndham Project Nothing

86
00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:53,008
in the last couple of weeks
i've had a couple of meetings

87
00:03:53,008 --> 00:03:54,488
with they've hired
a new architect

88
00:03:54,488 --> 00:03:55,588
and I've had a
couple of meetings

89
00:03:55,588 --> 00:03:58,948
with them to kind of discuss
how they want to move forward.

90
00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:00,778
But since that time, I
haven't heard anything

91
00:04:00,778 --> 00:04:02,428
but because they
hired new architect,

92
00:04:02,428 --> 00:04:04,408
I admire assumption is they're
in the process of working

93
00:04:04,408 --> 00:04:09,448
on plans Do we have a
deadline for them No,

94
00:04:09,448 --> 00:04:15,658
no they they lost all
their approvals expired.

95
00:04:15,658 --> 00:04:17,698
So this is starting over.

96
00:04:17,698 --> 00:04:23,215
So it's not it's not
untypical in the process

97
00:04:23,215 --> 00:04:26,758
to take a period of time to
have the architect to develop

98
00:04:26,758 --> 00:04:27,922
plans to get ready to go.

99
00:04:27,922 --> 00:04:32,638
It's a complex project It's
been how many years Eight years.

100
00:04:32,638 --> 00:04:33,388
It's been a long time.

101
00:04:33,388 --> 00:04:33,747
Yes.

102
00:04:33,747 --> 00:04:34,247
Yes.

103
00:04:34,247 --> 00:04:37,438
Sam, aren't we in a decades now?

104
00:04:37,438 --> 00:04:43,078
Close to a decade Yeah.

105
00:04:43,078 --> 00:04:48,658
Let's let's let's see
how we can capture

106
00:04:48,658 --> 00:04:51,848
this and get some good
tax As you know for us.

107
00:04:51,848 --> 00:04:52,348
Oh, for sure.

108
00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:56,398
We're going to get a top
priority for sure You know,

109
00:04:56,398 --> 00:05:00,988
I was at City of Hope today
in their parking structures

110
00:05:00,988 --> 00:05:05,308
completely fall
And I was talking

111
00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:09,208
to the head of
international medicine

112
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:13,378
I think 60% of their
patients are out patient.

113
00:05:13,378 --> 00:05:15,898
And if they want to go
ahead and do treatment

114
00:05:15,898 --> 00:05:20,458
it's going to be probably
an average of four weeks.

115
00:05:20,458 --> 00:05:24,891
So there is a huge need
for a hotel over here.

116
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:25,978
Even it's not going to be them.

117
00:05:25,978 --> 00:05:27,330
It's going to be
someone else We need

118
00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:31,378
to go ahead and get this thing
up and running fast for sure.

119
00:05:31,378 --> 00:05:35,938
Second one is how about the one
that's right next door to us,

120
00:05:35,938 --> 00:05:38,968
The is it Margarita?

121
00:05:38,968 --> 00:05:42,297
Or more like that?

122
00:05:42,297 --> 00:05:45,568
That was all three of
those pieces of property

123
00:05:45,568 --> 00:05:52,558
were purchased by the same joyce
Joyce and I have over spoken.

124
00:05:52,558 --> 00:05:54,773
I actually today I spoke with
her development consultant

125
00:05:54,773 --> 00:05:58,023
and they're in the process
of trying to figure out

126
00:05:58,023 --> 00:06:00,545
what the highest and best use
for them is on the property

127
00:06:00,545 --> 00:06:02,278
And I know they're moving
forward with the architect

128
00:06:02,278 --> 00:06:03,028
on that piece.

129
00:06:03,028 --> 00:06:05,608
But again it's a high priority.

130
00:06:05,608 --> 00:06:07,138
So it's important.

131
00:06:07,138 --> 00:06:10,108
And actually we've also had
some discussions with them about

132
00:06:10,108 --> 00:06:11,728
attempts to do a
little bit better job

133
00:06:11,728 --> 00:06:14,278
with keeping the property
cleared Appreciate that.

134
00:06:14,278 --> 00:06:15,868
Yes, Thank you.

135
00:06:15,868 --> 00:06:18,538
Thank you, Mayor Sorry,
Councilmember Garcia.

136
00:06:18,538 --> 00:06:20,158
And then councilmember Finley.

137
00:06:20,158 --> 00:06:21,868
Thank you, Mayor
Director Hensley,

138
00:06:21,868 --> 00:06:25,828
going back to the center, the
Mingo Project They came in,

139
00:06:25,828 --> 00:06:31,318
they presented a concept to us,
correct And are these new owners

140
00:06:31,318 --> 00:06:33,988
New owners My understanding
is the developer that

141
00:06:33,988 --> 00:06:39,598
got that approved passed away
is he had his approval hero's

142
00:06:39,598 --> 00:06:42,928
entitlements His children
attempted to develop for a while

143
00:06:42,928 --> 00:06:46,628
and then decided that wasn't
going to work for them

144
00:06:46,628 --> 00:06:48,868
My understanding is, I mean,
I have lived in the country.

145
00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:51,358
And they said they
sold the property off

146
00:06:51,358 --> 00:06:55,318
and they've been the new owner
has been moving forward rapidly

147
00:06:55,318 --> 00:06:58,348
And it's the same same price
is exactly the same project.

148
00:06:58,348 --> 00:07:00,928
Yes Because at that time,
we had talked about them

149
00:07:00,928 --> 00:07:02,488
The neighbors
concerns was privacy

150
00:07:02,488 --> 00:07:04,048
And they think the
direction we gave

151
00:07:04,048 --> 00:07:07,618
was helping them out with some
green trees to help with that.

152
00:07:07,618 --> 00:07:09,178
So that was one of the issues.

153
00:07:09,178 --> 00:07:11,968
And then one of the issues
during the demo process was

154
00:07:11,968 --> 00:07:12,568
was dust.

155
00:07:12,568 --> 00:07:14,368
And when they get
started, we'll make

156
00:07:14,368 --> 00:07:16,708
sure they understand the
importance of keeping dust down.

157
00:07:16,708 --> 00:07:20,811
Thank you, sir Council
member Finley thank you.

158
00:07:20,811 --> 00:07:22,348
Tenant improvements
are underway.

159
00:07:22,348 --> 00:07:28,378
A fall 2026 opening is
expected for Viana That is.

160
00:07:28,378 --> 00:07:32,068
That's pretty That's
pretty recent info on that

161
00:07:32,068 --> 00:07:37,438
that I got from them They were
actually just one of the places

162
00:07:37,438 --> 00:07:40,321
where i love the way our
process works because we got

163
00:07:40,321 --> 00:07:43,648
through tenant improvement plans
through our approval process

164
00:07:43,648 --> 00:07:44,620
really rapidly.

165
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:46,270
And they just sit
there for a while.

166
00:07:46,270 --> 00:07:48,547
And I called them
up and we did it.

167
00:07:48,547 --> 00:07:51,448
So quickly they weren't finished
with their, their building

168
00:07:51,448 --> 00:07:52,348
in Rancho Cucamonga.

169
00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:54,555
What you just recently opened
and they've just started working

170
00:07:54,555 --> 00:07:55,888
on it, I think the
last week or the week

171
00:07:55,888 --> 00:07:58,844
before there they
said proximately

172
00:07:58,844 --> 00:08:00,891
5 to 6 months to complete it.

173
00:08:00,891 --> 00:08:02,171
So that's their plan.

174
00:08:02,171 --> 00:08:03,182
The day they open.

Well, I. I don't know.

180
00:08:19,438 --> 00:08:21,568
Everyone may feel this way,
but the sooner they are,

181
00:08:21,568 --> 00:08:22,648
it opens the better.

182

lot of neighboring cities.

189

00:08:41,108 --> 00:08:45,238

May the fourth be with you.

00:16:21,601 --> 00:16:24,228
There we go I think we
missed the mark on our theme

352
00:16:24,228 --> 00:16:27,868
It's never too late Maybe
I'll walk out to the don.

408
00:18:48,253 --> 00:18:49,888
as the year comes by.

409
00:18:49,888 --> 00:18:50,698

Thank you But it's going to be.

418
00:19:07,809 --> 00:19:10,332
I didn't want to say I was going
to be the incoming president,

419
00:19:10,332 --> 00:19:11,018
but I want.

420
00:19:11,018 --> 00:19:13,318
I just think that is
a it's a great club.

421
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:15,118
They've been around
for a long time

422
00:19:15,118 --> 00:19:17,788
and these ladies do do
a lot of volunteer work

423
00:19:17,788 --> 00:19:19,978

00:19:31,888 --> 00:19:34,258
If that concludes
any upcoming events,

430
00:19:34,258 --> 00:19:35,938
I'm going to move
on to item number

If you wish to speak on a matter
that is not on the agenda,

you may do so at this time.

435
00:19:43,378 --> 00:19:45,598
Each member of the public will
have a total of three minutes

436
00:19:45,598 --> 00:19:46,438
to speak.

437
00:19:46,438 --> 00:19:49,108
The Council cannot discuss
or take action on matters not

438
00:19:49,108 --> 00:19:51,118
on the agenda for this meeting.

439
00:19:51,118 --> 00:19:53,072
Do we have any public comments ?

440
00:19:53,072 --> 00:19:53,802
We do.

441
00:19:53,802 --> 00:20:05,539
First up is Marc
Gonzales Good evening.

442
00:20:05,539 --> 00:20:08,248
Hi Hi.

443
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:10,290
Council members and
residents of the city

444
00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:13,082
want to announce a group
i'm starting for city

445
00:20:13,082 --> 00:20:16,057
improvement of our
small city And then

446
00:20:16,057 --> 00:20:17,911
we throw the variety of parks.

447
00:20:17,911 --> 00:20:21,178
We have the ever we
put into do better.

448
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:22,708
But the council
members can't know

449
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:24,568
all the improvements
possible if nobody

450
00:20:24,568 --> 00:20:27,390
tells them With this group.

451
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:30,868
I want to get together with
any resident of the city that

452
00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:35,218
has an idea on how to improve
the city We can find a solutions

453

and with the city's help,

454
00:20:37,618 --> 00:20:39,058

Oh, so nervous.

456
00:20:41,008 --> 00:20:41,668
You get this.

457
00:20:41,668 --> 00:20:44,183
You're good among friends.

458
00:20:44,183 --> 00:20:47,773
I want the meeting

461
00:20:52,378 --> 00:20:54,308
Already Can you clarify the
date and the time for me?

462
00:20:54,308 --> 00:20:54,808
One more?

463
00:20:54,808 --> 00:20:57,298
I'll say it with
my big loud mouth.

464
00:20:57,298 --> 00:21:02,068
April 24th, 6 p.m. to Friday
at Cabrera's april 24th.

465
00:21:02,068 --> 00:21:03,814
6 p.m. at Cabrera's.

466
00:21:03,814 --> 00:21:08,804
This is Thank you
very much step,

467
00:21:08,804 --> 00:21:18,458
we have Neil Furukawa
for a good evening.

468
00:21:18,458 --> 00:21:18,958
Yeah.

469
00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:21,958
Basically I'm here to
reinforce my two issues.

470
00:21:21,958 --> 00:21:25,228
Last I'm the first
one being the sign.

471
00:21:25,228 --> 00:21:28,228
And I've sent the letter out to
all the city council members,

472
00:21:28,228 --> 00:21:36,118
US Safety Department and
the also the mr. Girardi Mr.

473
00:21:36,118 --> 00:21:38,608
And I haven't received
one letter back yet

474
00:21:38,608 --> 00:21:45,119
or any type of reply so
hopefully they're working on it.

475
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,938
Second thing, the EPA thing
it's kind of interesting

476
00:21:47,938 --> 00:21:53,428
because now Laurel is actually
closed down across the river.

477
00:21:53,428 --> 00:21:57,118
So I was going to go with the
find out from the engineers

478
00:21:57,118 --> 00:21:59,398
who because it's
not our property,

479
00:21:59,398 --> 00:22:03,088
it's not the city's property
it's not Irwin to do property.

480
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:06,148
It belongs to the army
Corps of Engineers.

481
00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:08,188
I believe But it's
very interesting.

482
00:22:08,188 --> 00:22:09,838
They didn't open it back up.

483
00:22:09,838 --> 00:22:11,968
I was only in the impression
that it might because it

484
00:22:11,968 --> 00:22:17,518
was actually a recreational area
for the bike riders and whoever.

485
00:22:17,518 --> 00:22:19,558
And I was really
surprised about that.

486
00:22:19,558 --> 00:22:20,608
And that's about it.

487
00:22:20,608 --> 00:22:25,858
Thank you Thank you very much
Next up is Brian Barretto

488
00:22:25,858 --> 00:22:34,528
a good evening, mayor and
members of the council.

489
00:22:34,528 --> 00:22:36,208
My name is Brian
Barretto and I serve

490
00:22:36,208 --> 00:22:38,728
as California American water's
external affairs manager

491
00:22:38,728 --> 00:22:40,768
for southern California.

492
00:22:40,768 --> 00:22:44,848
I'm here to share with you
that we have recently updated

493
00:22:44,848 --> 00:22:48,298
our emergency response
plans, our air drops,

494
00:22:48,298 --> 00:22:50,713
California American
Water's ERP outlines

495
00:22:50,713 --> 00:22:54,958
how we protect operate and
restore service in our water

496
00:22:54,958 --> 00:22:59,068
systems during an emergency
It covers critical system

497
00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:02,728
components reporting and
notification procedures,

498
00:23:02,728 --> 00:23:05,578
security protocols
for response actions

499
00:23:05,578 --> 00:23:07,858
and the use of the
standard emergency

500
00:23:07,858 --> 00:23:12,457
management system within the
incident Command systems.

501
00:23:12,457 --> 00:23:15,178
The priorities of
our eRP are first,

502
00:23:15,178 --> 00:23:19,228
to protect human life, followed
by protect the environment,

503
00:23:19,228 --> 00:23:22,888
property and maintenance
of essential water systems

504
00:23:22,888 --> 00:23:25,468
While we hope these
plans are rarely needed,

505
00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:28,888
our response ability is to be
fully prepared in the event

506
00:23:28,888 --> 00:23:33,487
of an emergency our plan ensures
we can respond efficiently,

507
00:23:33,487 --> 00:23:36,718
efficiently and maintain
and/or restore service,

508
00:23:36,718 --> 00:23:39,928
including providing
backup water and supplies.

509
00:23:39,928 --> 00:23:41,548
When necessary.

510
00:23:41,548 --> 00:23:43,708
We value our partnership
with the community

511
00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:46,738
and remain committed to ensuring
the safety and resilience

512
00:23:46,738 --> 00:23:50,698
of our water systems California
American Water welcomes

513
00:23:50,698 --> 00:23:53,938
ongoing coordination with
the city and your staff,

514
00:23:53,938 --> 00:23:56,788
and it would be beneficial.

515
00:23:56,788 --> 00:24:00,988
And we would like
to inform form you

516

525
00:24:28,528 --> 00:24:31,048
Oral communications on
the consent calendar.

526
00:24:31,048 --> 00:24:33,238

527
00:24:33,238 --> 00:24:38,698

I'm sorry about that thank you.

530
00:24:44,888 --> 00:24:45,568
I should have.

531
00:24:45,568 --> 00:24:46,648
I should have written a card.

532
00:24:46,648 --> 00:24:48,478
Yes.

533
00:24:48,478 --> 00:24:49,655
Anyways, it's.

534
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:54,808
It's my pleasure to announce the
city's newest hire To my right

535
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:58,708
is our newest deputy city
clerk, Briana Solis She comes

536
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:01,168
to us from Sage Oak Charter
School in Riverside,

537
00:25:01,168 --> 00:25:03,478
where she was a
human resource clerk

538
00:25:03,478 --> 00:25:06,988
But really, her her education
has led her down this path

539
00:25:06,988 --> 00:25:10,138
She has an undergrad in
political science and an MBA,

540
00:25:10,138 --> 00:25:13,648
and we couldn't be happier
to welcome her to our team

541
00:25:13,648 --> 00:25:18,538
and breed U.S. I'm
excited to start.

542
00:25:18,538 --> 00:25:22,258
Today's my second day and
I'm really excited to just

543
00:25:22,258 --> 00:25:24,118
learn more about the city.

544
00:25:24,118 --> 00:25:25,929
Well, welcome I actually
had a little note

545
00:25:25,929 --> 00:25:26,987
to welcome you on my thing.

546
00:25:26,987 --> 00:25:28,046
And he beat me to it.

547
00:25:28,046 --> 00:25:29,923
So that just shows you how
awesome of a city manager.

548
00:25:29,923 --> 00:25:31,438
We have Welcome.

549
00:25:31,438 --> 00:25:34,108

551
00:25:37,228 --> 00:25:37,888
All right.

552
00:25:37,888 --> 00:25:46,438
Thank you Mayor May i ask Mr.
Villalobos You may, Mr. Mayor.

553
00:25:46,438 --> 00:25:48,088
Locals, just because
we've talked about it

554
00:25:48,088 --> 00:25:50,908
and previous council
meetings, are we able to share

555
00:25:50,908 --> 00:25:53,518
a little bit about Laredo park?

556
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:57,478
I actually have it in my closing
comments as part of the meetings

557
00:25:57,478 --> 00:25:58,978
we are reporting out on.

558
00:25:58,978 --> 00:25:59,668
Perfect.

559
00:25:59,668 --> 00:26:04,048
So, Mr. Neil, I hope you
stick around all righty.

560
00:26:04,048 --> 00:26:06,958
With that, I'm going to move
us on to the consent calendar.

561
00:26:06,958 --> 00:26:09,388

566
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:16,308
All right.

567
00:26:16,308 --> 00:26:19,078
Is there anyone in the
public that wishes to speak?

568
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:19,648

571
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,330
All in favor.

572
00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:25,288
I and you are opposed.

573
00:26:25,288 --> 00:26:28,768
Motion carries Next, we're
going to go on to item

574
00:26:28,768 --> 00:26:30,320

575
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,878

577
00:26:34,048 --> 00:26:34,858

Each member in the public have a
total of three minutes to speak.

579
00:26:37,108 --> 00:26:39,928
Do we have any comment cards

580
00:26:39,928 --> 00:26:43,858
Anyone want to speak from the
audience on business items ?

581
00:26:43,858 --> 00:26:48,328
Alrighty So let's go
ahead and move on to 13 A

582
00:26:48,328 --> 00:26:50,458
and it looks like we have
the assistant city manager

583
00:26:50,458 --> 00:26:54,268
and director of
administrative services

584
00:26:54,268 --> 00:27:03,275
Mr. Christian
Peterson Thank you.

585
00:27:03,275 --> 00:27:07,176
This evening, we are going to
have a discussion about parking

586
00:27:07,176 --> 00:27:09,148
enforcement services.

587
00:27:09,148 --> 00:27:11,368
And I just really wanted
to do an introduction

588
00:27:11,368 --> 00:27:17,068
And with my hat on, one of the
challenges that we have had

589
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:22,372
historically is holding on
to part time cSO officers

590
00:27:22,372 --> 00:27:25,007
The good news is that
we appear to train them

591
00:27:25,007 --> 00:27:28,468
so well that they are
ready to go off and become

592
00:27:28,468 --> 00:27:30,508
officers in their careers.

593
00:27:30,508 --> 00:27:34,168
And so it's a great stepping
stone to their career

594
00:27:34,168 --> 00:27:37,498
But as far as the effective
ness of having them handle,

595
00:27:37,498 --> 00:27:40,228
particularly in multiple
things in our city

596
00:27:40,228 --> 00:27:44,668
we have struggled holding on to
as many positions as we have.

597
00:27:44,668 --> 00:27:46,678
So with that, what
we have noticed

598
00:27:46,678 --> 00:27:50,789
is not being able to
cover all of the things

599
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:53,428
as far as parking enforcement,
there are many categories

600
00:27:53,428 --> 00:27:57,268
of parking enforcement
So more recently I

601
00:27:57,268 --> 00:28:02,488
had suggested that maybe we look
into the idea of contracting

602
00:28:02,488 --> 00:28:05,488
similar to how we do
for our crossing guards

603
00:28:05,488 --> 00:28:10,618
and so with that I am going
to turn it over to Albert,

604
00:28:10,618 --> 00:28:13,138
who really did the
really heavy lifting

605
00:28:13,138 --> 00:28:14,908
and work on this project.

606
00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:25,978
And we will be doing a
presentation on this proposal

607
00:28:25,978 --> 00:28:27,835
Thank you, Kristen
And obviously, I

608
00:28:27,835 --> 00:28:30,118
couldn't have done it
without doing credible stuff.

609
00:28:30,118 --> 00:28:32,441
Kristen, Brian And Lowry
throughout the process.

610
00:28:32,441 --> 00:28:38,510
I really appreciate each of
your support I'm back as Kristin

611
00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:41,908
mentioned, I'll be presenting
on the professional Services

612
00:28:41,908 --> 00:28:44,938
agreement with Intercom
Security for Parking

613
00:28:44,938 --> 00:28:47,668
Enforcement Services.

614
00:28:47,668 --> 00:28:50,068
Really quick, I just wanted
to provide some background So

615
00:28:50,068 --> 00:28:54,418
currently and some of it may be
already touched on by Kristen,

616
00:28:54,418 --> 00:28:57,958
but just to echo again,
currently the city

617
00:28:57,958 --> 00:28:59,733
provides parking
enforcement services

618
00:28:59,733 --> 00:29:03,868
So our part time community
services officers or CSOs,

619
00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:08,398
our service, those take
on various non obvious non

620
00:29:08,398 --> 00:29:11,668
sworn public safety
functions such as providing

621
00:29:11,668 --> 00:29:14,818
and I'm controlling support
for parking enforcement

622
00:29:14,818 --> 00:29:17,548
Sheriff deputy support
and even covering

623
00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:18,864
the front desk if needed.

624
00:29:18,864 --> 00:29:20,955
However, over the
past several years,

625
00:29:20,955 --> 00:29:24,478
there has been constant
turnover and vacancies

626
00:29:24,478 --> 00:29:30,058
and because of that and
competing operational,

627
00:29:30,058 --> 00:29:32,878
competing, operational
priorities,

628
00:29:32,878 --> 00:29:36,118
it's been increasingly difficult
to maintain consistent coverage

629
00:29:36,118 --> 00:29:37,678
of enforcement.

630
00:29:37,678 --> 00:29:40,978
This has led to reduced
enforcement of parking

631
00:29:40,978 --> 00:29:43,828
regulations and decrease
citation activity

632
00:29:43,828 --> 00:29:46,738
and more importantly, the
inconsistent enforcement

633
00:29:46,738 --> 00:29:50,368
has impacted compliance and
overall neighborhood quality

634
00:29:50,368 --> 00:29:56,188
of life and to address those
challenges as city staff issued

635
00:29:56,188 --> 00:29:59,634
an RFP that went out on
December 15 of last year,

636
00:29:59,634 --> 00:30:02,584
and it closed on
January 14 of this year,

637
00:30:02,584 --> 00:30:05,151
the city received
Three proposals,

638
00:30:05,151 --> 00:30:09,478
and after a concrete evaluation,
taking into account costs,

639
00:30:09,478 --> 00:30:12,688
qualifications experience
and overall ability

640
00:30:12,688 --> 00:30:15,418
to meet the city's
operational needs

641
00:30:15,418 --> 00:30:19,918
it was Entercom was selected
as the best qualified proposal.

642
00:30:19,918 --> 00:30:21,988
They provided the
lowest cost proposal

643
00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:27,328
and demonstrated great experi
tions providing these services

644
00:30:27,328 --> 00:30:29,908
to smaller cities similar
in size to Dougherty

645
00:30:29,908 --> 00:30:33,358
and also neighboring
cities such as Arcadia,

646
00:30:33,358 --> 00:30:36,358
as it was Alhambra,
Glendora and La Vernon,

647
00:30:36,358 --> 00:30:42,628
just to name a few Now, I don't
want to go over the scope to

648
00:30:42,628 --> 00:30:44,008
into detail but I
did want to highlight

649
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:46,468
key components of it
that are important

650
00:30:46,468 --> 00:30:49,243
from an operational standpoint.

651
00:30:49,243 --> 00:30:52,858
So obviously, in a con would
take on a comprehensive parking

652
00:30:52,858 --> 00:30:56,908
enforcement, including overnight
parking street sweeping

653
00:30:56,908 --> 00:31:01,288
recreational vehicle, vehicle or
RV restrictions permit parking

654
00:31:01,288 --> 00:31:05,278
areas time limit
zones and school zones

655
00:31:05,278 --> 00:31:11,008
Under this agreement entered
con would so sorry the contract

656
00:31:11,008 --> 00:31:14,038
would also provide all
staffing vehicles, equipment

657
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:16,528
and technology to operate
the program, which

658
00:31:16,528 --> 00:31:19,020
as no additional burden
to city resources

659
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:23,098
was along with the
field enforcement side.

660
00:31:23,098 --> 00:31:25,948
There are some administrative
responsibilities for them,

661
00:31:25,948 --> 00:31:29,758
such as reporting to
city staff to coordinate

662
00:31:29,758 --> 00:31:33,688
reporting and attending any
citation hearings as needed.

663
00:31:33,688 --> 00:31:36,508
And lastly, beyond parking
enforcement interaction

664
00:31:36,508 --> 00:31:40,348
would maintain a visible
presence in the community

665
00:31:40,348 --> 00:31:43,738
and add an extra layer of
observation and awareness

666
00:31:43,738 --> 00:31:45,838
throughout the community.

667
00:31:45,838 --> 00:31:49,528
The proposed agreement is for an
initial three year term with two

668
00:31:49,528 --> 00:31:51,568
options or One year extension.

669
00:31:51,568 --> 00:31:52,378
Since this.

670
00:31:52,378 --> 00:31:55,246
If approved, this would
be the city's First time

671
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:56,908
contracting these
services We would

672
00:31:56,908 --> 00:31:59,107
treat it as a pilot program No.

673
00:31:59,107 --> 00:32:01,708
Now we could evaluate
how efficient

674
00:32:01,708 --> 00:32:04,618
is really evaluate
the program costs

675
00:32:04,618 --> 00:32:06,388
And the agreement
includes provisions.

676
00:32:06,388 --> 00:32:10,828
So the city is able to terminate
the contract if needed,

677
00:32:10,828 --> 00:32:17,008
provide that flexibility if
expectations are not met Overall

678
00:32:17,008 --> 00:32:19,528
contracting these services
will not only provide

679
00:32:19,528 --> 00:32:24,028
that consistent coverage, but
also reduce staffing pressures

680
00:32:24,028 --> 00:32:27,298
within the public safety
department, for example

681
00:32:27,298 --> 00:32:29,698
because of the high
turnover over the years

682
00:32:29,698 --> 00:32:32,646
we haven't been able to convince
the taco certain enforcement

683
00:32:32,646 --> 00:32:35,248
in such as our RV restrictions.

684
00:32:35,248 --> 00:32:38,128
So contracting these
services would we

685
00:32:38,128 --> 00:32:41,998
be able to consistently hit
those enforcements that we

686
00:32:41,998 --> 00:32:44,458
haven't been able to
over the past years

687
00:32:44,458 --> 00:32:47,338
and also allows our CSOs
to focus on more community

688
00:32:47,338 --> 00:32:49,258
oriented responsibilities?

689
00:32:49,258 --> 00:32:50,848
And from a community
perspective,

690
00:32:50,848 --> 00:32:54,002
consistent enforcement
would help improve parking

691
00:32:54,002 --> 00:32:57,388
availability, safety, and
overall compliance with

692
00:32:57,388 --> 00:33:02,608
the city's regulations
So if approved,

693
00:33:02,608 --> 00:33:05,638
the current fiscal year would
require a $15,000 budget

694
00:33:05,638 --> 00:33:09,568
amendment and the estimated
annual cost for a full year

695
00:33:09,568 --> 00:33:15,208
of service is estimated at
221,000 and is subject to annual

696
00:33:15,208 --> 00:33:20,428
budgetary recreation Now,
with all that being said,

697
00:33:20,428 --> 00:33:23,638
it's recommended that the City
Council authorize the city

698
00:33:23,638 --> 00:33:27,598
manager to execute a three year
professional services agreement

699
00:33:27,598 --> 00:33:31,348
with intercom security for
parking enforcement services

700
00:33:31,348 --> 00:33:33,603
with option for Two
additional one year

701
00:33:33,603 --> 00:33:36,088
extensions and to
approve a budget

702
00:33:36,088 --> 00:33:37,798
amendment $15,000 to account.

703
00:33:37,798 --> 00:33:43,798
Number 1205 7761 for
fiscal year 20 2526.

704
00:33:43,798 --> 00:33:45,038
That concludes my presentation.

705
00:33:45,038 --> 00:33:48,268
I'm happy to answer any
questions you may have.

706
00:33:48,268 --> 00:33:49,471
Sorry, I have a
little line here.

707
00:33:49,471 --> 00:33:51,418
I'm going to start with
Councilmember Chime.

708
00:33:51,418 --> 00:33:54,688
And then we got mayor
Pro Tem King and and

709
00:33:54,688 --> 00:33:56,698
Councilmember Finley,
and then we'll

710
00:33:56,698 --> 00:33:58,168
see if you guys still got it.

711
00:33:58,168 --> 00:34:00,259
Thank you very You
mentioned, this

712
00:34:00,259 --> 00:34:02,156
is kind of like a pilot
program because we've

713
00:34:02,156 --> 00:34:03,298
never done something like this.

714
00:34:03,298 --> 00:34:04,018
Correct.

715
00:34:04,018 --> 00:34:09,658
So do you think or would is
there a difference between a one

716
00:34:09,658 --> 00:34:12,748
year contract and an
additional added on years

717
00:34:12,748 --> 00:34:14,488
or a three year contract?

718
00:34:14,488 --> 00:34:19,580
Is that is that how we're
able to get a rate like that.

719
00:34:19,580 --> 00:34:21,868
And correct me if
I'm wrong stuff,

720
00:34:21,868 --> 00:34:25,258
but I believe having that
multiple years you know,

721
00:34:25,258 --> 00:34:27,483
they'll have to constantly
go through the cycles of,

722
00:34:27,483 --> 00:34:28,801
oh, now we have to
do another agreement

723
00:34:28,801 --> 00:34:31,161
and stuff like that kind of,
you have something already set.

724
00:34:31,161 --> 00:34:32,878
So that way the city managers.

725
00:34:32,878 --> 00:34:37,799
So one thing I would say
because it's a pilot program,

726
00:34:37,799 --> 00:34:39,058
we've never done
anything like this

727
00:34:39,058 --> 00:34:43,408
before, having a pilot
program go for three years.

728
00:34:43,408 --> 00:34:46,288
It may seem a little
bit longer because pilot

729
00:34:46,288 --> 00:34:49,078
program is essentially just
trying something out, right?

730
00:34:49,078 --> 00:34:51,448
So the language in
the contract actually

731
00:34:51,448 --> 00:34:53,458
gives us the ability
to term the contract

732
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:55,468
at any time with
a 30 day notice.

733
00:34:55,468 --> 00:35:00,005
Okay So the answer he gave
is true by giving those Three

734
00:35:00,005 --> 00:35:02,248
years, we were able
to sit down and look

735
00:35:02,248 --> 00:35:05,488
at what it would look like in
costs for the next three years.

736
00:35:05,488 --> 00:35:07,138
So it's like a guaranteed price.

737
00:35:07,138 --> 00:35:10,713
Yeah, but it gives us
the flexibility One thing

738
00:35:10,713 --> 00:35:13,048
that we all know that
we've been discussing

739
00:35:13,048 --> 00:35:16,588
is how the public safety
commission is evaluating

740
00:35:16,588 --> 00:35:18,808
parking in general
in our community.

741
00:35:18,808 --> 00:35:22,438
And so we needed to be very
transparent about the fact

742
00:35:22,438 --> 00:35:23,758
that we're not positive.

743
00:35:23,758 --> 00:35:26,218
The list and the
areas of all the areas

744
00:35:26,218 --> 00:35:29,398
that currently, you know,
we have parking enforcement,

745
00:35:29,398 --> 00:35:31,948
there might be more,
there might be less.

746
00:35:31,948 --> 00:35:35,544
We also have areas that
we have not been able to.

747
00:35:35,544 --> 00:35:39,118
And I'll let Larry speak to
it in more detail if needed.

748
00:35:39,118 --> 00:35:40,918
But where we haven't
been able to even

749
00:35:40,918 --> 00:35:44,698
get into full, consistent
enforcement So again,

750
00:35:44,698 --> 00:35:47,068
we're not positive how
much that's going to take

751
00:35:47,068 --> 00:35:50,668
or what that is going to, you
know, trigger and generate.

752
00:35:50,668 --> 00:35:53,998
So with all of that,
they have been,

753
00:35:53,998 --> 00:35:55,931
you know, very good
about saying that they

754
00:35:55,931 --> 00:35:57,686
are willing to work with us.

755
00:35:57,686 --> 00:36:01,468
And kind of create this program,
not just on the structure

756
00:36:01,468 --> 00:36:04,048
we're giving them now but
on whatever we create.

757
00:36:04,048 --> 00:36:07,108
And we decide our community
needs moving forward.

758
00:36:07,108 --> 00:36:11,128
So given the amount of
hours we've requested

759
00:36:11,128 --> 00:36:12,973
and the amount of people.

760
00:36:12,973 --> 00:36:15,914
We believe would be needed
for our existing list.

761
00:36:15,914 --> 00:36:18,358
This would be the
budget And we have now

762
00:36:18,358 --> 00:36:19,948
an idea of what that budget is.

763
00:36:19,948 --> 00:36:21,028
For three years.

764
00:36:21,028 --> 00:36:24,118
But it gives us the ability
to scope that down once we

765
00:36:24,118 --> 00:36:27,268
get some feedback from
all of the commission work

766
00:36:27,268 --> 00:36:30,448
and all of the stuff that Larry
is doing Yeah, that makes sense.

767
00:36:30,448 --> 00:36:32,938
Now, if we have the ability
with the 30 day notice,

768
00:36:32,938 --> 00:36:34,588
because then when we
talk about contracts,

769
00:36:34,588 --> 00:36:36,538
we're kind of tied in
for that amount of years.

770
00:36:36,538 --> 00:36:40,048
But then it's a failsafe to
have that 30, 30 day notice

771
00:36:40,048 --> 00:36:44,728
and because we have we haven't
had this before in our city

772
00:36:44,728 --> 00:36:49,078
I think there's, you know,
prior to me, if this passes,

773
00:36:49,078 --> 00:36:51,628
prior to this I'm
sure there was a lot

774
00:36:51,628 --> 00:36:54,328
of things slipping under the
cracks that we couldn't get to.

775
00:36:54,328 --> 00:36:58,168
So I'm pretty sure that
we'll be able to stay on top.

776
00:36:58,168 --> 00:37:02,068
And even the amount of hours
that are being proposed and it's

777
00:37:02,068 --> 00:37:06,688
more the seven days is more
because we know that really

778
00:37:06,688 --> 00:37:09,988
that coverage, if we could have
even held the amount of hours

779
00:37:09,988 --> 00:37:15,868
that we had, but we could it
we just could not hold on to

780
00:37:15,868 --> 00:37:21,088
you know stuff in in that area
And again, I don't think it's

781
00:37:21,088 --> 00:37:24,658
necessarily a negative thing
It's just that there are you

782
00:37:24,658 --> 00:37:26,668
know, they really
look at this as a step

783
00:37:26,668 --> 00:37:28,138
to becoming a police officer.

784
00:37:28,138 --> 00:37:32,968
So it's really a natural
progression. the other CSO

785
00:37:32,968 --> 00:37:36,118
positions, it's our intention
to continue to have those

786
00:37:36,118 --> 00:37:38,848
and for them to continue
to service the way they do.

787
00:37:38,848 --> 00:37:41,518
They just wouldn't be
handling the parking portion.

788
00:37:41,518 --> 00:37:43,498
So continuing with
animal control

789
00:37:43,498 --> 00:37:46,768
and continuing and supporting
with reports for the sheriff's

790
00:37:46,768 --> 00:37:50,218
department and all the
other aspect is just not

791
00:37:50,218 --> 00:37:51,818
the parking portion Thank you.

792
00:37:51,818 --> 00:37:52,318
All right.

793
00:37:52,318 --> 00:37:54,718
I'm going to pass it over
to mayor Pro Tem King.

794
00:37:54,718 --> 00:37:56,458
I'm just curious.

795
00:37:56,458 --> 00:37:59,848
I heard what you said in
regards to terminations

796
00:37:59,848 --> 00:38:01,498
with a 30 day notice.

797
00:38:01,498 --> 00:38:07,186
So why is it that a pilot
maybe when you say that word.

798
00:38:07,186 --> 00:38:10,688
It just triggers me
and a three year.

799
00:38:10,688 --> 00:38:13,708
I mean, a pilot program,
it's no more than one year.

800
00:38:13,708 --> 00:38:18,118
Why can we just go and do
a one year contract again

801
00:38:18,118 --> 00:38:21,058
It was our intention that it's
going to take us a while to even

802
00:38:21,058 --> 00:38:22,408
figure out if we want to do it.

803
00:38:22,408 --> 00:38:24,448
So would we want 18 months?

804
00:38:24,448 --> 00:38:26,308
Would we want two years?

805
00:38:26,308 --> 00:38:27,748
It's going to take
a while for them

806
00:38:27,748 --> 00:38:29,818
to even get through
the process Yes.

807
00:38:29,818 --> 00:38:33,568
So I can tell you that we're
going to at least want it

808
00:38:33,568 --> 00:38:36,478
for one year because
we don't have

809
00:38:36,478 --> 00:38:37,708
the staff right now to do it.

810
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:41,338
And we want to see if this works
But depending on the feedback

811
00:38:41,338 --> 00:38:44,338
we get from the commission,
which could take maybe

812
00:38:44,338 --> 00:38:47,458
a little less than a
year on that feedback,

813
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:49,018
then we'd want to
scope our program

814
00:38:49,018 --> 00:38:50,832
down based on that feedback.

815
00:38:50,832 --> 00:38:52,948
And make whatever
changes at that point

816
00:38:52,948 --> 00:38:55,528
So I just think we
wanted the flexibility

817
00:38:55,528 --> 00:38:59,098
to be able to see what it would
look like for three years.

818
00:38:59,098 --> 00:39:01,571
But again if for some
reason we decide,

819
00:39:01,571 --> 00:39:04,768
let's pretend we got rid of
all the parking restrictions

820
00:39:04,768 --> 00:39:08,146
and we decide we just don't
even need to have this type

821
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:09,130
of parking enforcement.

822
00:39:09,130 --> 00:39:10,606
We still would
have the challenge

823
00:39:10,606 --> 00:39:13,468
of trying to fill part
time CSOs to help us

824
00:39:13,468 --> 00:39:15,358
with our much smaller program.

825
00:39:15,358 --> 00:39:17,158
But maybe this wouldn't
make sense anymore.

826
00:39:17,158 --> 00:39:18,718
Or maybe they
wouldn't want to size

827
00:39:18,718 --> 00:39:21,958
down to as tiny of a program
as we wanted But again,

828
00:39:21,958 --> 00:39:26,098
looking at trying to
get an idea of what

829
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:28,858
is steady cost, what are they
going to charge us in year two?

830
00:39:28,858 --> 00:39:30,838
What are they going to
charge us in year three?

831
00:39:30,838 --> 00:39:32,068
You know, there are
investor minutes

832
00:39:32,068 --> 00:39:34,107
and equipment and all
of that type of stuff

833
00:39:34,107 --> 00:39:35,968
that will roll into that.

834
00:39:35,968 --> 00:39:38,218
So what does that
look like in year two?

835
00:39:38,218 --> 00:39:39,778
Are there going to
be additional costs

836
00:39:39,778 --> 00:39:43,147
that they are going to try to
put on us in year two or years?

837
00:39:43,147 --> 00:39:44,380
Are they going to.

838
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:47,547
And the answer's no, because
we got them to give us a 3 year

839
00:39:47,547 --> 00:39:48,047
commitment.

840
00:39:48,047 --> 00:39:51,598
We can see what those escalators
are for each of those years.

841
00:39:51,598 --> 00:39:54,568
There's not an unknown
of if we like the program

842
00:39:54,568 --> 00:39:57,508
what does year two look like?

843
00:39:57,508 --> 00:39:59,728
I'm just sticking
for clarification.

844
00:39:59,728 --> 00:40:03,178
Is that including the
manpower, the human resources

845
00:40:03,178 --> 00:40:06,538
is yes, all the training
all the manpower,

846
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:12,148
all the equipment and the
vehicles, which is a big thing

847
00:40:12,148 --> 00:40:15,118
because we currently have to
have the vehicles for our part

848
00:40:15,118 --> 00:40:19,498
time staff to take out
and do that The equipment

849
00:40:19,498 --> 00:40:21,028
that they used for writing.

850
00:40:21,028 --> 00:40:23,758
What tickets uniforms.

851
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:25,678
So, yes, it is all inclusive.

852
00:40:25,678 --> 00:40:28,558
It is theirs and we're not
the only city that they

853
00:40:28,558 --> 00:40:30,928
do They work in a lot of areas.

854
00:40:30,928 --> 00:40:33,598
So I'm sure that there is
some savings to the fact

855
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:35,919
that they've been in this
business for a while,

856
00:40:35,919 --> 00:40:39,418
and they work in many of the
cities in our area All right.

857
00:40:39,418 --> 00:40:43,138
Next Council member
Finley, thank you sir.

858
00:40:43,138 --> 00:40:45,958
Do you remember the
city's in general

859
00:40:45,958 --> 00:40:48,118
for Yeah, this is Arcadia.

860
00:40:48,118 --> 00:40:51,568
Alhambra Pasadena
two and Pasadena.

861
00:40:51,568 --> 00:40:56,758
And you know, I saw them
writing tickets Very local here.

862
00:40:56,758 --> 00:41:00,298
Not to me What was the
motivation for doing this?

863
00:41:00,298 --> 00:41:02,638
And I heard what you said.

864
00:41:02,638 --> 00:41:06,058
It's we can't hold on to our
community service officers.

865
00:41:06,058 --> 00:41:13,288
So there will be a reduction,
then in the dollars

866
00:41:13,288 --> 00:41:15,628
that we spend on community
service officers.

867
00:41:15,628 --> 00:41:18,328
Yeah, the way it's
set up is to CSOs

868
00:41:18,328 --> 00:41:21,516
where we're geared towards
parking enforcement,

869
00:41:21,516 --> 00:41:24,055
and they have one
dedicated vehicle.

870
00:41:24,055 --> 00:41:27,718
So there's reduction there
and the driving force

871
00:41:27,718 --> 00:41:32,188
is really kind of similar
to remember crossing guards

872
00:41:32,188 --> 00:41:37,168
and when we went to contract
there part time is great

873
00:41:37,168 --> 00:41:42,718
but they're very transitory And
so the cost of staff time for HR

874
00:41:42,718 --> 00:41:45,388
To recruit for public
safety to do two

875
00:41:45,388 --> 00:41:49,678
interviews, then to train only
to lose a person within a year

876
00:41:49,678 --> 00:41:51,156
to is great.

877
00:41:51,156 --> 00:41:56,368
But if we got to it was just
constant turnover and that

878
00:41:56,368 --> 00:41:58,288
led to not being
able to actually

879
00:41:58,288 --> 00:42:01,408
fill parking enforcement
such as street sweeping.

880
00:42:01,408 --> 00:42:04,138
So then you fill in behind
with code enforcement

881
00:42:04,138 --> 00:42:06,178
or whatever you
can because people

882
00:42:06,178 --> 00:42:10,078
get upset when you don't do it
and it's just a trickle down.

883
00:42:10,078 --> 00:42:12,268
So when we went to
crossing guards,

884
00:42:12,268 --> 00:42:15,028
you know, we had the school
districts upset with us, parents

885
00:42:15,028 --> 00:42:16,648
upset with us because
we weren't out there

886
00:42:16,648 --> 00:42:18,658
and we couldn't
staff the positions

887
00:42:18,658 --> 00:42:21,628
So they take on the burden
of fully training and putting

888
00:42:21,628 --> 00:42:24,388
that person there which is very
similar to what we're looking

889
00:42:24,388 --> 00:42:28,258
at here, is they have to
go out and hire and put

890
00:42:28,258 --> 00:42:31,168
a body in and fill
the roles that we

891
00:42:31,168 --> 00:42:34,198
aren't additional because of.

892
00:42:34,198 --> 00:42:36,328
We're small city
and it's fantastic

893
00:42:36,328 --> 00:42:38,218
but our community
service officers

894
00:42:38,218 --> 00:42:42,937
are a lot of times pulled in to
fill behind Susie if she's sick

895
00:42:42,937 --> 00:42:47,766
or if we have a special events
it's kind of all hands on deck.

896
00:42:47,766 --> 00:42:50,008
And that pulls away from
parking enforcement as a whole.

897
00:42:50,008 --> 00:42:54,058
So these bodies will be
dedicated to parking enforcement

898
00:42:54,058 --> 00:42:56,728
unlike what we have to
do right now just to make

899
00:42:56,728 --> 00:42:58,126
sure everything works the way.

900
00:42:58,126 --> 00:42:59,548
And we provide the
service that we can.

901
00:42:59,548 --> 00:43:01,949
So we will still have
to community service.

902
00:43:01,949 --> 00:43:04,198
So we will still have our
community service officers that

903
00:43:04,198 --> 00:43:09,337
are going to perform normal
duties of of taking reports,

904
00:43:09,337 --> 00:43:13,978
assisting with traffic visions,
assisting the office assisting

905
00:43:13,978 --> 00:43:16,256
with taking whatever we need.

906
00:43:16,256 --> 00:43:18,194
So there's a myriad
things that we

907
00:43:18,194 --> 00:43:20,940
use them for within the
public safety office.

908
00:43:20,940 --> 00:43:23,068
So they'll still do
contain those duties.

909
00:43:23,068 --> 00:43:25,558
They just won't be
writing parking tickets.

910
00:43:25,558 --> 00:43:29,008
Other than if Temple Station
gets a call of a parking

911
00:43:29,008 --> 00:43:31,168
enforcement, then we could
direct them over there

912
00:43:31,168 --> 00:43:32,638
to handle that specific case.

913
00:43:32,638 --> 00:43:37,903
So there's going to be an
additional $221,000 annually,

914
00:43:37,903 --> 00:43:39,852
correct?

915
00:43:39,852 --> 00:43:41,802
OK.

916
00:43:41,802 --> 00:43:50,368
How do you anticipate the
revenues will offset this

917
00:43:50,368 --> 00:43:55,408
So we currently have revenues
that would offset that.

918
00:43:55,408 --> 00:43:58,888
But I anticipate that more
coverage will actually

919
00:43:58,888 --> 00:44:00,898
bring in additional revenues.

920
00:44:00,898 --> 00:44:03,328
Generally, what happens with
parking, like when we first

921
00:44:03,328 --> 00:44:05,308
started with the
street sweeping,

922
00:44:05,308 --> 00:44:06,902
you're going to have an
uptick at the beginning

923
00:44:06,902 --> 00:44:09,268
as people realize that we're
actually going to enforce

924
00:44:09,268 --> 00:44:11,578
the rules that we
weren't enforcing before,

925
00:44:11,578 --> 00:44:13,978
then it will come down
and it will stabilize.

926
00:44:13,978 --> 00:44:18,358
But even at our full
staffing, of course those we

927
00:44:18,358 --> 00:44:22,348
were doing more than $221,000.

928
00:44:22,348 --> 00:44:26,818
We've been as high as 400,000
and maybe more averaging

929
00:44:26,818 --> 00:44:29,998
closer to the 300,000.

930
00:44:29,998 --> 00:44:32,458
Having said that,
the amount of season

931
00:44:32,458 --> 00:44:36,238
shows that we are eliminating,
which actually is three parking,

932
00:44:36,238 --> 00:44:41,218
but they are not covering
a full 40 hours of what

933
00:44:41,218 --> 00:44:43,618
is needed for the seven days.

934
00:44:43,618 --> 00:44:46,828
And so again, we're going
to have additional hours

935
00:44:46,828 --> 00:44:49,981
incorporated in that
to 21, and we're not

936
00:44:49,981 --> 00:44:53,344
going to have the challenge
of filling the positions

937
00:44:53,344 --> 00:44:55,744
and/or the equipment,
the training in the cars.

938
00:44:55,744 --> 00:44:56,244
OK.

939
00:44:56,244 --> 00:44:58,228
Is that something
you can give us kind

940
00:44:58,228 --> 00:45:00,766
of a report back on savings?

941
00:45:00,766 --> 00:45:01,828
Absolutely.

942
00:45:01,828 --> 00:45:04,978
It's part of why it's probably
my fault that the word pilot got

943
00:45:04,978 --> 00:45:09,396
used because I said there's
no guarantee that we're going

944
00:45:09,396 --> 00:45:13,768
to want this program and so it
absolutely needs to be evaluated

945
00:45:13,768 --> 00:45:15,568
not just from the
money perspective,

946
00:45:15,568 --> 00:45:17,998
but also from the
scope perspective,

947
00:45:17,998 --> 00:45:20,548
depending on the feedback we
get about parking in general

948
00:45:20,548 --> 00:45:21,928
in the city.

949
00:45:21,928 --> 00:45:23,308
But yes, absolutely.

950
00:45:23,308 --> 00:45:25,442
And you'll be able
to see it because it.

951
00:45:25,442 --> 00:45:27,238
It's a revenue
generally speaking.

952
00:45:27,238 --> 00:45:29,428
You're going to see those
reports So, for example,

953
00:45:29,428 --> 00:45:30,838
at midyear, you'll
be able to see

954
00:45:30,838 --> 00:45:32,548
if we're trending
more than what we had

955
00:45:32,548 --> 00:45:34,858
expected in our normal trends.

956
00:45:34,858 --> 00:45:35,638
OK.

957
00:45:35,638 --> 00:45:39,598
This the next thing is
liability They carry

958
00:45:39,598 --> 00:45:42,778
their own insurance Absolutely.

959
00:45:42,778 --> 00:45:45,328
And so from a
liability perspective

960
00:45:45,328 --> 00:45:48,538
it also takes some of
that liability off of us

961
00:45:48,538 --> 00:45:50,668
because they are the
officers out in the field.

962
00:45:50,668 --> 00:45:52,773
We're not directly
their risk mitigation.

963
00:45:52,773 --> 00:45:53,608
Yes.

964
00:45:53,608 --> 00:45:59,578
And then finally will do
they have certain cars that.

965
00:45:59,578 --> 00:46:00,598
Yes.

966
00:46:00,598 --> 00:46:03,058
Look, Larry, can you
speak a little bit to the

967
00:46:03,058 --> 00:46:04,834
because they have
uniforms and cars,

968
00:46:04,834 --> 00:46:07,318
but generally, we get to
approve and authorize everything

969
00:46:07,318 --> 00:46:08,218
they're using.

970
00:46:08,218 --> 00:46:10,738
Yeah, for the most
part, they use sedans.

971
00:46:10,738 --> 00:46:12,779
So they'll have a four door
sedan that they utilize

972
00:46:12,779 --> 00:46:13,652
is going to be all white.

973
00:46:13,652 --> 00:46:14,919
And then the insignias
are going to be

974
00:46:14,919 --> 00:46:17,968
on the side of the vehicle,
which we're going to approve

975
00:46:17,968 --> 00:46:19,828
based on what they provide us.

976
00:46:19,828 --> 00:46:26,788
Okay And then I know something
that people like is they

977
00:46:26,788 --> 00:46:32,128
like seeing the same
people over and over

978
00:46:32,128 --> 00:46:36,238
Are we going to have
the same officers,

979
00:46:36,238 --> 00:46:38,798
whatever you want to call
them, doing this for us?

980
00:46:38,798 --> 00:46:39,298
Yeah.

981
00:46:39,298 --> 00:46:41,987
Generally speaking when we
working out some of the language

982
00:46:41,987 --> 00:46:44,128
for the RFP process,
we put in there

983
00:46:44,128 --> 00:46:47,038
that we wanted some consistency
so much so that we're actually

984
00:46:47,038 --> 00:46:50,698
having these these contractors,
if you will, actually

985
00:46:50,698 --> 00:46:52,378
dress out of our office.

986
00:46:52,378 --> 00:46:55,269
So they will be housed at the
public safety office directly

987
00:46:55,269 --> 00:46:57,268
be in direct
communication with them,

988
00:46:57,268 --> 00:46:59,698
and we'll be able to see them
get the reports from them,

989
00:46:59,698 --> 00:47:02,818
get them hot spots, for
example, in parking situations

990
00:47:02,818 --> 00:47:04,378
and make sure that
we can maintain

991
00:47:04,378 --> 00:47:05,428
some of that consistency.

992
00:47:05,428 --> 00:47:07,885
So similar to how we do
the L.A. County Sheriff's

993
00:47:07,885 --> 00:47:09,418
Department contract where
we have the deputy's

994
00:47:09,418 --> 00:47:10,051
dress out of there.

995
00:47:10,051 --> 00:47:11,878
It's the same type of concept.

996
00:47:11,878 --> 00:47:13,828
Will they be working
around the clock

997
00:47:13,828 --> 00:47:16,888
because obviously, many
of these infractions

998
00:47:16,888 --> 00:47:21,355
take place at different times of
the day Yeah, we worked at a it

999
00:47:21,355 --> 00:47:23,878
is very difficult to
work out a schedule,

1000
00:47:23,878 --> 00:47:27,007
but I worked with Briner
Izumi and he's is a math

1001
00:47:27,007 --> 00:47:28,138
wizard when it comes to Excel.

1002
00:47:28,138 --> 00:47:32,548
So he was able to produce a
very, very very good coverage

1003
00:47:32,548 --> 00:47:34,048
area for these full timers.

1004
00:47:34,048 --> 00:47:36,208
So it'd be two full time
bodies that would cover

1005
00:47:36,208 --> 00:47:39,238
the entire seven day time frame
and they'll be working 12 hour

1006
00:47:39,238 --> 00:47:42,898
shifts with a four hour
overlap on the weekends

1007
00:47:42,898 --> 00:47:46,978
so one thing to when you were
talking about the reporting

1008
00:47:46,978 --> 00:47:50,848
back, we didn't talk
about it, but in looking

1009
00:47:50,848 --> 00:47:53,308
at all of these alternate lives,
one of the things we looked at

1010
00:47:53,308 --> 00:47:55,528
was the cost of
full time as well.

1011
00:47:55,528 --> 00:47:58,468
And when it came to the
cost of the full time hours

1012
00:47:58,468 --> 00:48:01,277
that we're talking about,
actually bringing in our own.

1013
00:48:01,277 --> 00:48:04,318
Officer, having our own
vehicles our own equipment,

1014
00:48:04,318 --> 00:48:07,948
it cost more So this
is an alternative

1015
00:48:07,948 --> 00:48:12,478
to part time increasing the
hours but less expensive

1016
00:48:12,478 --> 00:48:16,821
than if we were to actually hire
the positions here for the city.

1017
00:48:16,821 --> 00:48:17,707
And one challenge.

1018
00:48:17,707 --> 00:48:20,458
I mean, we are a contract
city for a reason, right?

1019
00:48:20,458 --> 00:48:26,608
There is a lot of flexibility
and of moving of liability

1020
00:48:26,608 --> 00:48:30,238
off of directly on
the city, but also

1021
00:48:30,238 --> 00:48:36,328
it does give us the ability to
increase, decrease very quickly.

1022
00:48:36,328 --> 00:48:38,668
So if we decided we
wanted to reduce the hours

1023
00:48:38,668 --> 00:48:40,618
and go to just one,
we'd be able to do

1024
00:48:40,618 --> 00:48:43,178
that as opposed to
bringing somebody on.

1025
00:48:43,178 --> 00:48:49,011
And then having difficulty in
eliminating that position OK,

1026
00:48:49,011 --> 00:48:55,798
I'm mildly skeptical of not
anything new because I think

1027
00:48:55,798 --> 00:49:00,298
anything new can be great
But I also look at the way

1028
00:49:00,298 --> 00:49:05,488
people view contract workers.

1029
00:49:05,488 --> 00:49:09,748
And if they can't get enough
out of them, liability wise,

1030
00:49:09,748 --> 00:49:12,681
we know who they're
going to hit up next So.

1031
00:49:12,681 --> 00:49:13,277
OK.

1032
00:49:13,277 --> 00:49:14,170
Thank you.

1033
00:49:14,170 --> 00:49:17,098
And I believe you
have another question.

1034
00:49:17,098 --> 00:49:20,698
When councilwoman Finney
was mentioning on insurance

1035
00:49:20,698 --> 00:49:23,698
is the standard 1
million, 2 million

1036
00:49:23,698 --> 00:49:25,438
that they're going to carry or.

1037
00:49:25,438 --> 00:49:28,798
Yes they met will are
professional services agreement

1038
00:49:28,798 --> 00:49:31,318
that we traditionally
have they have met all

1039
00:49:31,318 --> 00:49:36,088
of those requirements And we
did have three bidders and all

1040
00:49:36,088 --> 00:49:38,488
three of them met the
insurance requirements

1041
00:49:38,488 --> 00:49:43,018
And then the other question was
this is specifically for just

1042
00:49:43,018 --> 00:49:47,188
traffic violations, not
code violations, or will

1043
00:49:47,188 --> 00:49:50,278
eventually it go into code
violation, part parking

1044
00:49:50,278 --> 00:49:51,898
enforcement, parking, sorry.

1045
00:49:51,898 --> 00:49:55,108
So they're strictly
parking enforcement.

1046
00:49:55,108 --> 00:49:58,168
All right, Councilman
garcia, thank you.

1047
00:49:58,168 --> 00:50:01,438
Mayor A lot of my questions
were asked by customer friendly.

1048
00:50:01,438 --> 00:50:07,528
So thank you for getting those
parking only But there also

1049
00:50:07,528 --> 00:50:09,853
we can enforce
our municipal code

1050
00:50:09,853 --> 00:50:12,418
that is all of
our municipal code

1051
00:50:12,418 --> 00:50:15,024
that relates to parking
Yes, only parking.

1052
00:50:15,024 --> 00:50:15,524
Yes.

1053
00:50:15,524 --> 00:50:16,024
OK.

1054
00:50:16,024 --> 00:50:18,688
So they won't be doing
code enforcement.

1055
00:50:18,688 --> 00:50:20,338
They will be enforcing.

1056
00:50:20,338 --> 00:50:24,148
So no 3 to 6 a.m. is
in the municipal code.

1057
00:50:24,148 --> 00:50:27,478
A lot of our restrict Well,
I don't think the restricted

1058
00:50:27,478 --> 00:50:31,798
that's within the vehicle code
But but the RV restrictions

1059
00:50:31,798 --> 00:50:33,484
are in the municipal code.

1060
00:50:33,484 --> 00:50:35,848
So so these vehicles will
only then be patrolling

1061
00:50:35,848 --> 00:50:37,438
where there
currently are parking

1062
00:50:37,438 --> 00:50:40,948
restrict since they
will be patrolling

1063
00:50:40,948 --> 00:50:42,388
where we direct them to.

1064
00:50:42,388 --> 00:50:44,818
So yes, they'll be
handling those 3 to 6 a.m..

1065
00:50:44,818 --> 00:50:47,248
But then we also have
our other hotspots

1066
00:50:47,248 --> 00:50:50,698
where we have restricted
to residents only,

1067
00:50:50,698 --> 00:50:55,258
such as by city of
Hope and the arline.

1068
00:50:55,258 --> 00:50:58,768
And so there they
will be given a list

1069
00:50:58,768 --> 00:51:01,438
by Larry and the
public safety office

1070
00:51:01,438 --> 00:51:03,568
as to what they
focus on as well.

1071
00:51:03,568 --> 00:51:06,596
Street sweeping the street
sweep in and out 3, 2 6 a.m.

1072
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,428
is the majority of their duties.

1073
00:51:08,428 --> 00:51:11,368
But we do have other
okay because we have seen

1074
00:51:11,368 --> 00:51:16,018
a huge benefit when there is an
extra presence of folks driving

1075
00:51:16,018 --> 00:51:19,978
through neighborhoods And I'm
thinking about the areas that

1076
00:51:19,978 --> 00:51:22,018
don't have parking
restrictions and the housing

1077
00:51:22,018 --> 00:51:23,788
also benefit from
having a contract

1078
00:51:23,788 --> 00:51:25,798
like this in the neighborhoods.

1079
00:51:25,798 --> 00:51:27,928
The license plate
reading cameras

1080
00:51:27,928 --> 00:51:30,358
are those linked
to our Foot Locker.

1081
00:51:30,358 --> 00:51:31,768
How would those work?

1082
00:51:31,768 --> 00:51:34,108
No those systems are
going to be independent

1083
00:51:34,108 --> 00:51:36,688
So the license plate
reading camera systems that

1084
00:51:36,688 --> 00:51:38,578
are developed for
this type of situation

1085
00:51:38,578 --> 00:51:40,318
is strictly for
parking enforcement.

1086
00:51:40,318 --> 00:51:41,758
It allows the
officer to actually

1087
00:51:41,758 --> 00:51:42,838
be a lot more efficient.

1088
00:51:42,838 --> 00:51:45,328
So what it does is it actually
timestamps vehicles that

1089
00:51:45,328 --> 00:51:49,500
are parked in the town parking
zone, as well as issuing

1090
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:51,328
the citation, just based
off the license plate,

1091
00:51:51,328 --> 00:51:52,438
reading from the camera system.

1092
00:51:52,438 --> 00:51:55,078
So we had the opportunity
here to also see

1093
00:51:55,078 --> 00:51:57,028
that system in action
and see how efficient

1094
00:51:57,028 --> 00:51:58,858
an officer in the field can be.

1095
00:51:58,858 --> 00:52:01,048
Again, as a pilot
where do we go?

1096
00:52:01,048 --> 00:52:03,699
Stay with this program and/or
shift gears into something else.

1097
00:52:03,699 --> 00:52:06,838
We can see the efficiency and
getting the three year contract

1098
00:52:06,838 --> 00:52:08,878
would help us benefit for that.

1099
00:52:08,878 --> 00:52:11,998
Of course, with the term that we
have, it's beneficial to city,

1100
00:52:11,998 --> 00:52:13,528
but it would give us
that data to support

1101
00:52:13,528 --> 00:52:14,537
it One way or another.

1102
00:52:14,537 --> 00:52:15,823
So there's a third party data.

1103
00:52:15,823 --> 00:52:18,688
Can we find out who has
access to that data?

1104
00:52:18,688 --> 00:52:22,078
It's it's only strictly
to the data processing

1105
00:52:22,078 --> 00:52:23,518
center and the
officers issuing it

1106
00:52:23,518 --> 00:52:26,290
so that data does not get
sent out outside of that.

1107
00:52:26,290 --> 00:52:31,888
OK And then you talked about
two vehicles per 24 hour shifts.

1108
00:52:31,888 --> 00:52:33,928
So 12 hour shifts, one vehicle
throughout the whole city

1109
00:52:33,928 --> 00:52:35,278
for those 12 hours.

1110
00:52:35,278 --> 00:52:37,978
And be one officer per shift.

1111
00:52:37,978 --> 00:52:39,508
So one vehicle only.

1112
00:52:39,508 --> 00:52:44,533
And then be doing 12 hour
shifts, time with the four

1113
00:52:44,533 --> 00:52:46,678
hours allowed for on the
weekend to compensate

1114
00:52:46,678 --> 00:52:47,608
to make them the 40.

1115
00:52:47,608 --> 00:52:51,991
Okay If we were to go this
way, since we have to approve

1116
00:52:51,991 --> 00:52:56,038
that are uniform and symbols
on their vehicles can

1117
00:52:56,038 --> 00:52:57,845
we share that with the
public before that contract

1118
00:52:57,845 --> 00:52:58,586
would start.

1119
00:52:58,586 --> 00:53:00,538
So that they're aware
that this is what they're

1120
00:53:00,538 --> 00:53:01,768
going to look like as over?

1121
00:53:01,768 --> 00:53:02,728
Yeah, absolutely.

1122
00:53:02,728 --> 00:53:04,298
We would want them to
know what they look like.

1123
00:53:04,298 --> 00:53:04,798
Yes.

1124
00:53:04,798 --> 00:53:12,102
Yeah OK All right Mayor Pro tem.

1125
00:53:12,102 --> 00:53:12,602
OK.

1126
00:53:12,602 --> 00:53:13,762
Thank you, Mayor.

1127
00:53:13,762 --> 00:53:19,288
I'm just curious where if we're
going to have a vehicle just

1128
00:53:19,288 --> 00:53:22,978
driving around
constantly can we make

1129
00:53:22,978 --> 00:53:26,578
a request for a
clean air vehicle

1130
00:53:26,578 --> 00:53:30,838
I'm just curious do they
even have that option?

1131
00:53:30,838 --> 00:53:33,568
I one thing I would
point out is I'm not they

1132
00:53:33,568 --> 00:53:36,508
would need to arrange where they
were going to charge because we

1133
00:53:36,508 --> 00:53:40,738
don't currently have a
dedicated yet a dedicated charge

1134
00:53:40,738 --> 00:53:42,088
location for the city.

1135
00:53:42,088 --> 00:53:45,598
So they would just have to
make to it cheaper than gas

1136
00:53:45,598 --> 00:53:47,818
and would charge it to BP.

1137
00:53:47,818 --> 00:53:49,909
Yeah we can talk
to them about that.

1138
00:53:49,909 --> 00:53:52,258
I know in my discussions
with the operations manager,

1139
00:53:52,258 --> 00:53:54,238
we talked about it
being a hybrid vehicle

1140
00:53:54,238 --> 00:53:56,338
because it does behoove
them to have a vehicle that

1141
00:53:56,338 --> 00:53:57,988
is energy efficient
as well, cuts down

1142
00:53:57,988 --> 00:54:00,238
on the short vehicle range.

1143
00:54:00,238 --> 00:54:02,998
We also requested more
information, especially

1144
00:54:02,998 --> 00:54:04,348
with the BP charging
station like you're

1145
00:54:04,348 --> 00:54:05,788
mentioning about that.

1146
00:54:05,788 --> 00:54:09,058
In addition, we actually have a
charging station in our parking

1147
00:54:09,058 --> 00:54:11,128
lot right around the corner.

1148
00:54:11,128 --> 00:54:13,768
And since there are contracts,
they could pay for that service.

1149
00:54:13,768 --> 00:54:17,599
So we'll definitely
ask them Yeah,

1150
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:22,948
but that that charging
station is a very, very low

1151
00:54:22,948 --> 00:54:24,568
It's not going to work.

1152
00:54:24,568 --> 00:54:28,588
Yeah I think like a BP would
be much better to do so

1153
00:54:28,588 --> 00:54:29,520
but anyways.

1154
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,325
Yeah Yeah you don't
think I'll add

1155
00:54:31,325 --> 00:54:33,358
to that is that it does become
difficult because they do have

1156
00:54:33,358 --> 00:54:34,888
to transport to our office.

1157
00:54:34,888 --> 00:54:37,528
So the vehicle does need
to be fairly close to it

1158
00:54:37,528 --> 00:54:41,248
to where they're at going
to be changing, etc.

1159
00:54:41,248 --> 00:54:42,938
Interesting OK.

1160
00:54:42,938 --> 00:54:44,028
All right.

1161
00:54:44,028 --> 00:54:45,838
Any other thoughts ?

1162
00:54:45,838 --> 00:54:46,708
All right.

1163
00:54:46,708 --> 00:54:51,418
Councilmember Lewis
Yes I don't I don't I

1164
00:54:51,418 --> 00:54:53,008
just want some clarification.

1165
00:54:53,008 --> 00:54:57,898
How many positions are are
we going to lose in the city?

1166
00:54:57,898 --> 00:55:00,958
So there's three part
time positions right now.

1167
00:55:00,958 --> 00:55:07,348
Yes Are all three vacant or two
or for sure, vacant And one is.

1168
00:55:07,348 --> 00:55:08,488
Yeah right.

1169
00:55:08,488 --> 00:55:12,088
3 Currently, right now, we're
kind of substituting our patrol

1170
00:55:12,088 --> 00:55:14,488
car So it was like Brian
Gallo was mentioning

1171
00:55:14,488 --> 00:55:16,528
we have to do a lot of
substitution to make sure

1172
00:55:16,528 --> 00:55:18,838
that we ensure our coverage
for parking enforcement,

1173
00:55:18,838 --> 00:55:22,378
particularly for street
sweeping and right

1174
00:55:22,378 --> 00:55:24,598
now we have those
patrol officers

1175
00:55:24,598 --> 00:55:26,038
actually substitute for that.

1176
00:55:26,038 --> 00:55:28,888
So we have about two of them
that are in substitution

1177
00:55:28,888 --> 00:55:31,048
If we eliminate the
three positions to go

1178
00:55:31,048 --> 00:55:33,598
with this contract services,
we're going to be rededicating

1179
00:55:33,598 --> 00:55:34,803
them to the regular patrol.

1180
00:55:34,803 --> 00:55:38,518
CSO And then the one that isn't
dedicated that will be offered

1181
00:55:38,518 --> 00:55:40,258
the patrol see as opposition
as well, because we

1182
00:55:40,258 --> 00:55:41,848
do have vacancies on that.

1183
00:55:41,848 --> 00:55:44,038
So you're only going
to lose the three

1184
00:55:44,038 --> 00:55:47,008
part time positions right Okay.

1185
00:55:47,008 --> 00:55:51,358
And those three
part time positions,

1186
00:55:51,358 --> 00:55:57,628
they can't I mean I
know, there's a pay scale

1187
00:55:57,628 --> 00:55:59,008
that you can retain.

1188
00:55:59,008 --> 00:56:03,898
People with a pay scale
that what that not an option

1189
00:56:03,898 --> 00:56:07,318
the increase surveyed and
so the pay does not appear

1190
00:56:07,318 --> 00:56:11,803
to be the issue for why
we're retaining like I said,

1191
00:56:11,803 --> 00:56:14,878
those who are even you
know coming in there

1192
00:56:14,878 --> 00:56:18,058
they're not staying because
they're going to full time

1193
00:56:18,058 --> 00:56:19,468
police officer positions.

1194
00:56:19,468 --> 00:56:22,138
It's not because they're
going to another city

1195
00:56:22,138 --> 00:56:24,238
that pays part time better.

1196
00:56:24,238 --> 00:56:25,588
That's what we're finding.

1197
00:56:25,588 --> 00:56:29,698
Yeah, we we restructured
the salary for the CSOs

1198
00:56:29,698 --> 00:56:35,608
within the part time realm
to fit what was the market

1199
00:56:35,608 --> 00:56:37,348
for the going cities.

1200
00:56:37,348 --> 00:56:38,878
So we're very competitive.

1201
00:56:38,878 --> 00:56:41,965
Yes it's truly we just
lose them because they're

1202
00:56:41,965 --> 00:56:44,285
looking for full time jobs.

1203
00:56:44,285 --> 00:56:48,178
That's they they generally are
hired by in law enforcement

1204
00:56:48,178 --> 00:56:52,618
positions and/or whatever
else career they choose to

1205
00:56:52,618 --> 00:56:55,921
But it's just a
temporary job for them

1206
00:56:55,921 --> 00:56:58,207
because it is part time.

1207
00:56:58,207 --> 00:57:03,568
OK I also I'll like
I said, I don't

1208
00:57:03,568 --> 00:57:08,338
know if the word pilot got
me, but I think three years

1209
00:57:08,338 --> 00:57:10,888
is just quite a bit of time.

1210
00:57:10,888 --> 00:57:15,148
I mean I can I know it
takes probably a year

1211
00:57:15,148 --> 00:57:18,100
to even get a routine down.

1212
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,643
And then maybe another year
or 2 2 figure everything out.

1213
00:57:21,643 --> 00:57:24,178
But I take the word
pilot out of there.

1214
00:57:24,178 --> 00:57:24,678
It's okay.

1215
00:57:24,678 --> 00:57:25,648
Appreciate it.

1216
00:57:25,648 --> 00:57:28,468
And yes, show shouldn't
use that word,

1217
00:57:28,468 --> 00:57:32,556
but we will be constantly
evaluating this program.

1218
00:57:32,556 --> 00:57:35,821
So it's really a trial Okay.

1219
00:57:35,821 --> 00:57:37,699
A trial run that works better.

1220
00:57:37,699 --> 00:57:38,585
All right.

1221
00:57:38,585 --> 00:57:43,468
I don't feel that much better,
but a little bit All right.

1222
00:57:43,468 --> 00:57:45,508
I think everyone up here
asked a lot of questions

1223
00:57:45,508 --> 00:57:48,928
and addressed concerns I would
have I have a lot of you know,

1224
00:57:48,928 --> 00:57:51,808
I know that our public safety
is a well oiled machine.

1225
00:57:51,808 --> 00:57:54,388
So this sounds like
something that makes

1226
00:57:54,388 --> 00:57:56,098
our wheels a little squeaky.

1227
00:57:56,098 --> 00:57:59,309
So if we have an opportunity to
try to keep everything flowing,

1228
00:57:59,309 --> 00:58:00,508
I think that's a great idea.

1229
00:58:00,508 --> 00:58:02,578
The process of hiring
and training somebody

1230
00:58:02,578 --> 00:58:04,918
is so expensive I know
we touched on that.

1231
00:58:04,918 --> 00:58:07,888
I mean, I think my company,
it costs like $30,000 to hire

1232
00:58:07,888 --> 00:58:11,908
someone new just the loss of
training time uniform equipment,

1233
00:58:11,908 --> 00:58:15,358
administrative before and
after hiring along with

1234
00:58:15,358 --> 00:58:16,708
any kind of benefits they have.

1235
00:58:16,708 --> 00:58:20,848
So I definitely see that there's
an area for cost containment

1236
00:58:20,848 --> 00:58:22,378
here, which is
something we would

1237
00:58:22,378 --> 00:58:25,138
probably know within the
first nine months to a year.

1238
00:58:25,138 --> 00:58:27,868
And I feel comfortable
with the three year,

1239
00:58:27,868 --> 00:58:31,288
you know, trial knowing that
it's not a guaranteed thing.

1240
00:58:31,288 --> 00:58:33,578
If we find out Nine months
to 12 months from now,

1241
00:58:33,578 --> 00:58:35,038
we can reassess this.

1242
00:58:35,038 --> 00:58:38,488
I'm completely comfortable
with making the decision.

1243
00:58:38,488 --> 00:58:40,198
So that's my thought
process on it

1244
00:58:40,198 --> 00:58:44,218
because everyone else asks
such good questions anyways,

1245
00:58:44,218 --> 00:58:48,628
are we ready to anyone else
have anything they want to say

1246
00:58:48,628 --> 00:58:50,278
Can I call for a motion?

1247
00:58:50,278 --> 00:58:51,972
Almost second.

1248
00:58:51,972 --> 00:58:53,800
All in favor?

1249
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,418
I i any opposed motion carries.

1250
00:58:57,418 --> 00:58:58,418
Thank you very much.

1251
00:58:58,418 --> 00:58:58,918
Thank you.

1252
00:58:58,918 --> 00:59:02,338
And I'll make sure to remove the
word pilot out of my vocabulary

1253
00:59:02,338 --> 00:59:04,538
Unless they're driving
like a hybrid Honda Pilot.

1254
00:59:04,538 --> 00:59:05,038
Hybrid?

1255
00:59:05,038 --> 00:59:05,538
We're good.

1256
00:59:05,538 --> 00:59:06,758
They're all right.

1257
00:59:06,758 --> 00:59:07,258
Now.

1258
00:59:07,258 --> 00:59:09,718
Let's go on to item
B on business items

1259
00:59:09,718 --> 00:59:12,478
We've got award of contract for
the Donald and Bernice Watson.

1260
00:59:12,478 --> 00:59:14,488
Multi Youth use,
and that's going

1261
00:59:14,488 --> 00:59:16,288
to be presented by
our public works

1262
00:59:16,288 --> 00:59:18,574
manager, Stephanie Sandoval.

1263
00:59:18,574 --> 00:59:19,438
Hello Hi.

1264
00:59:19,438 --> 00:59:21,358
Good evening, everyone.

1265
00:59:21,358 --> 00:59:27,298
Again So this this item
is to award the contract

1266
00:59:27,298 --> 00:59:31,168
for the Donald Ebenezer Watson
multi-use pathway improvement

1267
00:59:31,168 --> 00:59:40,168
Project to F as contractors
and a lot of the fiscal impacts

1268
00:59:40,168 --> 00:59:44,698
were discussed during the during
the CFP workshop earlier today.

1269
00:59:44,698 --> 00:59:49,162
So I will kind of just
breeze through that part.

1270
00:59:49,162 --> 00:59:53,878
The lowest response of
an responsible bidder was

1271
00:59:53,878 --> 00:59:58,258
fS contractors for 1,697,000.

1272
00:59:58,258 --> 01:00:01,978
And we are this staff
is recommending to award

1273
01:00:01,978 --> 01:00:05,008
the contract with a
7% contingency which

1274
01:00:05,008 --> 01:00:12,658
would be a total of $1,816,800.

1275
01:00:12,658 --> 01:00:19,168
And approve a budget amendment
to use Measure M funds

1276
01:00:19,168 --> 01:00:23,368
towards the rest of the
remainder of the project

1277
01:00:23,368 --> 01:00:27,508
I think one thing that we didn't
discuss during the CIP workshop

1278
01:00:27,508 --> 01:00:31,768
was mainly that FS contractors
is the contractor that

1279
01:00:31,768 --> 01:00:35,848
was the lowest bidder and
they have done many projects

1280
01:00:35,848 --> 01:00:40,498
for the city before They've
completed a great number

1281
01:00:40,498 --> 01:00:42,778
of projects for
other cities as well,

1282
01:00:42,778 --> 01:00:45,988
and they've always provided
great work for the city

1283
01:00:45,988 --> 01:00:50,237
and worked very
cooperatively with staff.

1284
01:00:50,237 --> 01:00:53,878
And so for a project
like this, it's

1285
01:00:53,878 --> 01:00:57,148
a big deal for us to have a
contractor that is going to be

1286
01:00:57,148 --> 01:00:58,678
working well with the city.

1287
01:00:58,678 --> 01:01:03,148
And that is going to provide
us with a good quality product

1288
01:01:03,148 --> 01:01:06,928
as well So with
that, I don't know

1289
01:01:06,928 --> 01:01:09,583
if you guys have
any more questions

1290
01:01:09,583 --> 01:01:14,278
or if Councilmember
Finley, thank you.

1291
01:01:14,278 --> 01:01:19,721
Something that we talked
about some time ago.

1292
01:01:19,721 --> 01:01:21,818
And Fasano brought it up to me.

1293
01:01:21,818 --> 01:01:23,118
He texted me today.

1294
01:01:23,118 --> 01:01:26,818
And we ever done anything
with any kind of electrical

1295
01:01:26,818 --> 01:01:33,358
along there And I guess what
I'm thinking is over closer

1296
01:01:33,358 --> 01:01:38,128
to ward where the tennis
courts are If we had

1297
01:01:38,128 --> 01:01:43,858
some electrical a long the path
there we could potentially put

1298
01:01:43,858 --> 01:01:50,338
in, I guess you could say even
kind of like a that's a fairly

1299
01:01:50,338 --> 01:01:58,018
well-lit area like Christmas
markets sort of thing

1300
01:01:58,018 --> 01:01:59,458
during a holiday season.

1301
01:01:59,458 --> 01:02:01,888
Is there any any
thought to putting

1302
01:02:01,888 --> 01:02:05,008
any kind of electrical there
to give us some flexibility

1303
01:02:05,008 --> 01:02:07,948
as to use of the path?

1304
01:02:07,948 --> 01:02:13,318
So the main scope of the
project includes adding lighting

1305
01:02:13,318 --> 01:02:18,538
to to the intersections, to
the main intersections of where

1306
01:02:18,538 --> 01:02:21,418
the trail crosses streets.

1307
01:02:21,418 --> 01:02:25,768
So there will definite be an
addition and added component

1308
01:02:25,768 --> 01:02:28,558
of electrical at those
intersections as well

1309
01:02:28,558 --> 01:02:32,308
as pedestrian lighting
in the area where

1310
01:02:32,308 --> 01:02:37,138
the where the bridge is, because
that is generally a darker area

1311
01:02:37,138 --> 01:02:39,748
And that was something that
was brought up by council.

1312
01:02:39,748 --> 01:02:44,158
So there there will be
electrical components added

1313
01:02:44,158 --> 01:02:48,358
to this project that are already
part of the scope Something

1314
01:02:48,358 --> 01:02:51,178
that could easily be
utilized in the future,

1315
01:02:51,178 --> 01:02:59,698
I guess to be flexible
right Well, I think if i'm

1316
01:02:59,698 --> 01:03:02,008
understanding your
question correct, Lee,

1317
01:03:02,008 --> 01:03:04,258
are you talking about
the option of having

1318
01:03:04,258 --> 01:03:07,558
some lighting when
we do potentially

1319
01:03:07,558 --> 01:03:09,646
host some kind of events?

1320
01:03:09,646 --> 01:03:10,146
Sure.

1321
01:03:10,146 --> 01:03:11,852
Right there along
the bike trail.

1322
01:03:11,852 --> 01:03:13,948
Are you are you thinking
like permanent lighting

1323
01:03:13,948 --> 01:03:16,918
or you're thinking, no
no permanent lighting.

1324
01:03:16,918 --> 01:03:18,988
But vendors out there
that, sure, they

1325
01:03:18,988 --> 01:03:21,718
can plug in if they
bring in some right

1326
01:03:21,718 --> 01:03:22,918
That's what I was thinking.

1327
01:03:22,918 --> 01:03:27,708
So I don't know if that's
built into the scope.

1328
01:03:27,708 --> 01:03:30,258
Yeah, that wasn't
built into the scope.

1329
01:03:30,258 --> 01:03:31,858
But as we move forward,
it is something we could

1330
01:03:31,858 --> 01:03:33,658
look at as we go through this.

1331
01:03:33,658 --> 01:03:38,728
And I mean change and if
you're setting up something

1332
01:03:38,728 --> 01:03:41,565
for vendors, you're
going to need some it,

1333
01:03:41,565 --> 01:03:47,429
you'll need a little you'll need
more than just typical outlets.

1334
01:03:47,429 --> 01:03:50,308
So we definitely look
into that I mean,

1335
01:03:50,308 --> 01:03:52,258
vendors are we looking
to generate revenue

1336
01:03:52,258 --> 01:03:57,508
from the it could be anything
you know there are not a lot of

1337
01:03:57,508 --> 01:03:59,518
and I know you've
been to these places

1338
01:03:59,518 --> 01:04:03,238
and whether it's New York
or Chicago at Christmas time

1339
01:04:03,238 --> 01:04:08,801
they will set up kind of
markets and they are not

1340
01:04:08,801 --> 01:04:15,988
only it's a moneymaker but not
so much as it is a social event.

1341
01:04:15,988 --> 01:04:17,938
And I just thought
gee, maybe this

1342
01:04:17,938 --> 01:04:21,808
would be something that would be
kind of fun along the bike path,

1343
01:04:21,808 --> 01:04:24,538
kind of like the market used
to have a sanitary heater

1344
01:04:24,538 --> 01:04:28,348
but instead of doing it there,
have it alongside the amenities

1345
01:04:28,348 --> 01:04:32,458
You kind of foodservice
on I think we

1346
01:04:32,458 --> 01:04:35,704
we talked about this
for a long time, right

1347
01:04:35,704 --> 01:04:40,168
in we've always wanted
to beautify that trail.

1348
01:04:40,168 --> 01:04:44,158
And lot of people use
this trail and I believe

1349
01:04:44,158 --> 01:04:47,098
I've said this many times to
them and with other council

1350
01:04:47,098 --> 01:04:49,948
members is we need the lights.

1351
01:04:49,948 --> 01:04:54,448
We certainly do So it
should be incorporated

1352
01:04:54,448 --> 01:04:56,428
as part of the scope.

1353
01:04:56,428 --> 01:04:58,528
I I hope we can do that.

1354
01:04:58,528 --> 01:05:02,398
It doesn't have to be we
need to dig underground

1355
01:05:02,398 --> 01:05:05,518
and have some to 40
ease of whatever.

1356
01:05:05,518 --> 01:05:07,858
There are lot of
lights nowadays There

1357
01:05:07,858 --> 01:05:13,318
are solar or self-sustained
and they give a lot of Yeah,

1358
01:05:13,318 --> 01:05:18,508
you know what is that
loom not illuminations.

1359
01:05:18,508 --> 01:05:21,388
What is that word Lumen.

1360
01:05:21,388 --> 01:05:22,108
Luminescence.

1361
01:05:22,108 --> 01:05:22,608
Right.

1362
01:05:22,608 --> 01:05:31,168
Aren't known lumens whatever
lumens So when I says an why is

1363
01:05:31,168 --> 01:05:33,394
it that we're not able to.

1364
01:05:33,394 --> 01:05:38,848
And I noticed a lot
of these solar lights

1365
01:05:38,848 --> 01:05:42,928
they're very very bright
and if no one's walking

1366
01:05:42,928 --> 01:05:50,229
around that area, it is
automatically dims down to count

1367
01:05:50,229 --> 01:05:52,236
in calories And
I we're actually,

1368
01:05:52,236 --> 01:05:55,152
we were walking, what, two
days ago, three days ago,

1369
01:05:55,152 --> 01:05:57,118
and I bumped into
you at night and then

1370
01:05:57,118 --> 01:05:59,068
you started looking at
me and I'm like, woohoo,

1371
01:05:59,068 --> 01:06:03,808
I can really see because it was
so dark, right A lot of people

1372
01:06:03,808 --> 01:06:05,320
like to use that trail.

1373
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:06,832
And I think it's good.

1374
01:06:06,832 --> 01:06:09,538
And it's safe for
us to have that

1375
01:06:09,538 --> 01:06:13,664
place lit and it should
be part of the scope

1376
01:06:13,664 --> 01:06:19,449
of do I have anybody ?

1377
01:06:19,449 --> 01:06:20,203
I have.

1378
01:06:20,203 --> 01:06:21,711
My question was, who?

1379
01:06:21,711 --> 01:06:24,448
What other projects has this
company worked on for the city?

1380
01:06:24,448 --> 01:06:28,618
Just so I have an idea They did
the they did the the Huntington

1381
01:06:28,618 --> 01:06:30,238
Drive median project.

1382
01:06:30,238 --> 01:06:33,298
They did a lot of
sidewalk improvement

1383
01:06:33,298 --> 01:06:37,308
And they did the actually the
emergent see concrete improve

1384
01:06:37,308 --> 01:06:41,226
ments when the fires broke
out, and the windstorm

1385
01:06:41,226 --> 01:06:43,468
knocked down a bunch of trees.

1386
01:06:43,468 --> 01:06:44,188
OK.

1387
01:06:44,188 --> 01:06:49,108
They installed the
the banner poles

1388
01:06:49,108 --> 01:06:54,598
they work on a subcontractor for
the Highland promenade project

1389
01:06:54,598 --> 01:06:58,928
They did the ATP project on
Central and Evergreen OK.

1390
01:06:58,928 --> 01:06:59,428
Sounds good.

1391
01:06:59,428 --> 01:06:59,928
Thank you.

1392
01:06:59,928 --> 01:07:00,868
I got a good idea.

1393
01:07:00,868 --> 01:07:03,748
I appreciate that
Sounds like Lois,

1394
01:07:03,748 --> 01:07:06,418
that has anything to bring up.

1395
01:07:06,418 --> 01:07:07,198
Councilmember Chong.

1396
01:07:07,198 --> 01:07:08,637
I just Just have a statement.

1397
01:07:08,637 --> 01:07:12,328
I'm looking at these
renderings or drawings

1398
01:07:12,328 --> 01:07:18,688
of what the trail is
going to look like I.

1399
01:07:18,688 --> 01:07:22,658
I do like the new colors.

1400
01:07:22,658 --> 01:07:28,228
And the greenery and flowers
and plants around it as

1401
01:07:28,228 --> 01:07:31,498
well as the drinking stations.

1402
01:07:31,498 --> 01:07:35,421
And for the puppies
and for the runners.

1403
01:07:35,421 --> 01:07:38,848
We talked about a
little bit about i

1404
01:07:38,848 --> 01:07:41,158
don't know necessarily
widening the trail,

1405
01:07:41,158 --> 01:07:46,378
but having a space for
the bikes and the actual

1406
01:07:46,378 --> 01:07:50,878
like joggers and walkers can
kind of separate the two.

1407
01:07:50,878 --> 01:07:54,268
So they don't we hear there's
a lot of butting heads

1408
01:07:54,268 --> 01:07:56,518
on that trail between
joggers and walkers

1409
01:07:56,518 --> 01:08:00,928
versus bikers I know, we
mentioned that a few weeks ago,

1410
01:08:00,928 --> 01:08:04,757
maybe the last time we
spoke about the trail

1411
01:08:04,757 --> 01:08:06,830
they kind of widened
it so that there's

1412
01:08:06,830 --> 01:08:08,278
a separation between the two.

1413
01:08:08,278 --> 01:08:10,356
And also, like
Councilmember Kay said,

1414
01:08:10,356 --> 01:08:15,748
some lights that we
talked about as well to i

1415
01:08:15,748 --> 01:08:17,518
appreciate the mile
markers or something new

1416
01:08:17,518 --> 01:08:20,510
and it brings something
different to the trail,

1417
01:08:20,510 --> 01:08:22,474
which I think is awesome.

1418
01:08:22,474 --> 01:08:24,478
But those Two things
widening the trail

1419
01:08:24,478 --> 01:08:28,288
to kind of have the
bikes and the restrooms,

1420
01:08:28,288 --> 01:08:32,047
not potentially cause any
accidents or hit each other,

1421
01:08:32,047 --> 01:08:34,948
or maybe get into fights because
one of hiking, one's walking

1422
01:08:34,948 --> 01:08:39,209
And I think lights on the trail.

1423
01:08:39,209 --> 01:08:47,098
There's also would also look so
much more better if we can maybe

1424
01:08:47,098 --> 01:08:50,308
bring that item up
next council meeting

1425
01:08:50,308 --> 01:08:55,161
to see what the cost
to add those lights in

1426
01:08:55,161 --> 01:09:02,128
and i think a along with the
nice wooden chimes or windmills

1427
01:09:02,128 --> 01:09:05,188
that we've looked at
and these mile markers,

1428
01:09:05,188 --> 01:09:08,205
it would definitely make the
trail look 100 times better

1429
01:09:08,205 --> 01:09:12,088
than it is now
Councilmember Well,

1430
01:09:12,088 --> 01:09:17,938
one thing I just what's
being discussed tonight

1431
01:09:17,938 --> 01:09:23,008
is award of bid and i
would say the trail will be

1432
01:09:23,008 --> 01:09:24,628
slightly wider than it is now.

1433
01:09:24,628 --> 01:09:30,598
But we get a bid that was above
what the estimate was of for it

1434
01:09:30,598 --> 01:09:32,338
to be a four foot
and a half wide

1435
01:09:32,338 --> 01:09:34,233
or just because at the edges.

1436
01:09:34,233 --> 01:09:38,308
It's going to be kind
of feathered out a bit

1437
01:09:38,308 --> 01:09:41,278
But to get wider than that
would be a significant cost.

1438
01:09:41,278 --> 01:09:45,020
So I mean, I believe also on in
terms of lighting the attach,

1439
01:09:45,020 --> 01:09:48,718
I believe we had a discussion
when we came to the council

1440
01:09:48,718 --> 01:09:49,906
last time.

1441
01:09:49,906 --> 01:09:53,548
And we were getting
ready to go out for bid.

1442
01:09:53,548 --> 01:09:58,258
And I believe the Resolute
was that might look to do that

1443
01:09:58,258 --> 01:10:00,028
in the future as an option.

1444
01:10:00,028 --> 01:10:04,147
The cost that would be
significant compared to the bid.

1445
01:10:04,147 --> 01:10:07,588
I mean, we'd, we'd be over
the over the 7% contingency.

1446
01:10:07,588 --> 01:10:11,188
But I feel like my fear is we're
going to pay all this money

1447
01:10:11,188 --> 01:10:14,458
for this budget amendment,
$406,000, and then they're going

1448
01:10:14,458 --> 01:10:15,439
to bring it to us.

1449
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,107
And there's going to
be nothing but issues.

1450
01:10:17,107 --> 01:10:19,978
That's my biggest fear So
I feel like we should have

1451
01:10:19,978 --> 01:10:22,108
the knowledge of some
different lighting options

1452
01:10:22,108 --> 01:10:23,308
and what that would
cost, whether it

1453
01:10:23,308 --> 01:10:26,240
be electric with plugs or
doing some solar because that

1454
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,074
sounds like a great idea to.

1455
01:10:28,074 --> 01:10:30,838
And then, you know
there's just not as much

1456
01:10:30,838 --> 01:10:33,963
of a need for the horse
portion of the trail anymore.

1457
01:10:33,963 --> 01:10:36,083
Yes, there are still horses
on the trail, but not.

1458
01:10:36,083 --> 01:10:37,708
I'm sure, the magnitude
of when they built it

1459
01:10:37,708 --> 01:10:40,648
or when they put it together
And that feels like.

1460
01:10:40,648 --> 01:10:42,628
That's like double the
size of the actual pavement

1461
01:10:42,628 --> 01:10:43,468
in some areas.

1462
01:10:43,468 --> 01:10:46,709
So I can see why widening
it might be wanting

1463
01:10:46,709 --> 01:10:48,418
something we want
to look into Yeah,

1464
01:10:48,418 --> 01:10:50,398
I think you're absolutely right.

1465
01:10:50,398 --> 01:10:52,708
I don't see as much
horses there as i did when

1466
01:10:52,708 --> 01:10:55,648
I was in my teenage years,
but I think widening it

1467
01:10:55,648 --> 01:10:58,738
to about a foot, a foot and a
half without having any issues,

1468
01:10:58,738 --> 01:11:00,028
I think that's helped.

1469
01:11:00,028 --> 01:11:03,815
It's very helpful but also
to avoid the same issues

1470
01:11:03,815 --> 01:11:06,568
we had with the
medians on Huntington

1471
01:11:06,568 --> 01:11:08,710
to be able to see what it is.

1472
01:11:08,710 --> 01:11:10,618
And what the cost
would be and how it

1473
01:11:10,618 --> 01:11:12,358
would look with the lighting.

1474
01:11:12,358 --> 01:11:16,468
Regardless if we want to add it
now or later on in the future.

1475
01:11:16,468 --> 01:11:21,448
I'm just to be proactive and
not come across the issues

1476
01:11:21,448 --> 01:11:22,348
we had with the median.

1477
01:11:22,348 --> 01:11:25,578
Again so that, you know,
we can move forward

1478
01:11:25,578 --> 01:11:27,212
with this more smoothly.

1479
01:11:27,212 --> 01:11:31,168
Well one option would be if
the council chose to, would we?

1480
01:11:31,168 --> 01:11:34,378
We could go forward
with the current bid

1481
01:11:34,378 --> 01:11:36,148
that we have a word of bid.

1482
01:11:36,148 --> 01:11:38,238
Begin with the project
I don't I don't

1483
01:11:38,238 --> 01:11:39,998
think we come back
to the next meeting

1484
01:11:39,998 --> 01:11:41,848
with a price for
expand the lighting.

1485
01:11:41,848 --> 01:11:45,348
But I think within 4
to 6 weeks, they would

1486
01:11:45,348 --> 01:11:47,068
they're going to
start in 4 to 6 weeks.

1487
01:11:47,068 --> 01:11:49,078
And there's going to there be
won't be starting till June.

1488
01:11:49,078 --> 01:11:51,268
We could probably do
an analysis of what

1489
01:11:51,268 --> 01:11:54,086
that that additional
lighting costs would be.

1490
01:11:54,086 --> 01:11:57,016
And we could either
Yeah, I think potentially

1491
01:11:57,016 --> 01:12:01,168
either add that to the contract
to do different contract

1492
01:12:01,168 --> 01:12:04,888
I think that would
help out to be awarded

1493
01:12:04,888 --> 01:12:09,268
and have the kind of fine
print that it would come back

1494
01:12:09,268 --> 01:12:15,186
with the additional cost or an
extra renderings of how it would

1495
01:12:15,186 --> 01:12:18,958
look with those lighting that if
you're to that we're going to do

1496
01:12:18,958 --> 01:12:21,508
this beautiful upgrade and
then the constituents are going

1497
01:12:21,508 --> 01:12:23,398
to have the hugest
complaint of it's still

1498
01:12:23,398 --> 01:12:25,228
so dark by the time
I get off work,

1499
01:12:25,228 --> 01:12:26,368
I can't walk on it anyways.

1500
01:12:26,368 --> 01:12:28,828
And I just think it's
like a missed opportunity

1501
01:12:28,828 --> 01:12:29,938
to make it safer for everyone.

1502
01:12:29,938 --> 01:12:33,107
I too have seen Councilmember
Calderon walking in the evenings

1503
01:12:33,107 --> 01:12:33,988
a couple of times.

1504
01:12:33,988 --> 01:12:36,148
And he and I walk,
you know it's 7:00.

1505
01:12:36,148 --> 01:12:38,128
It's pretty dark when
we see each other.

1506
01:12:38,128 --> 01:12:42,328
So councilmember
Finley have we gone

1507
01:12:42,328 --> 01:12:48,448
to like the Joint Powers
Insurance Authority and said,

1508
01:12:48,448 --> 01:12:49,359
take a look at it?

1509
01:12:49,359 --> 01:12:51,878
You see any design flaws here.

1510
01:12:51,878 --> 01:12:56,788
That would be a potential
problem for liability

1511
01:12:56,788 --> 01:13:03,238
which is even Well,
part of the the plan

1512
01:13:03,238 --> 01:13:05,998
is to meet aDA requirements.

1513
01:13:05,998 --> 01:13:06,958
OK.

1514
01:13:06,958 --> 01:13:12,431
So that actually, that's how
we initially got the funding.

1515
01:13:12,431 --> 01:13:14,068
And we applied for
multiple grants.

1516
01:13:14,068 --> 01:13:16,258
It was, was basically
not just an improvement,

1517
01:13:16,258 --> 01:13:20,938
but also to address aDA
issues and several years ago,

1518
01:13:20,938 --> 01:13:22,288
we had that analysis done.

1519
01:13:22,288 --> 01:13:25,468
And so of, of all the
crossings are being upgraded.

1520
01:13:25,468 --> 01:13:29,902
So the intent was to meet
all ADA requirements OK.

1521
01:13:29,902 --> 01:13:35,192
But in addition to that, I know
that I forced Larry and Steve

1522
01:13:35,192 --> 01:13:38,368
one night to go
over there with me

1523
01:13:38,368 --> 01:13:42,838
just so they could see how bad
the lighting was at the Mount

1524
01:13:42,838 --> 01:13:45,508
Olive royal Oaks
Drive intersection

1525
01:13:45,508 --> 01:13:47,998
And they both saw
the same thing I did.

1526
01:13:47,998 --> 01:13:51,598
First of all, low
lighting and we

1527
01:13:51,598 --> 01:13:54,868
almost hit someone because
he was dressed at night.

1528
01:13:54,868 --> 01:13:59,638
You guys make sure don't wear
black or wear white when you're

1529
01:13:59,638 --> 01:14:03,568
walking on that bike path
because it's really hard to see

1530
01:14:03,568 --> 01:14:10,350
people All right So let's
bring us back to topic,

1531
01:14:10,350 --> 01:14:12,598
then, which is awarding
the contract Are, you know,

1532
01:14:12,598 --> 01:14:15,928
do we have any more questions
about what's right before us?

1533
01:14:15,928 --> 01:14:17,578
I know we've given
some direction of what

1534
01:14:17,578 --> 01:14:19,469
we want to see come back.

1535
01:14:19,469 --> 01:14:25,228
We've expressed our concerns Are
we anybody have anything more

1536
01:14:25,228 --> 01:14:26,608
they need to
clarify before being

1537
01:14:26,608 --> 01:14:33,898
ready to make a motion or vote
So help me with this then.

1538
01:14:33,898 --> 01:14:37,618
Craig, As far as lighting,
you're saying we go ahead.

1539
01:14:37,618 --> 01:14:39,028
We approve this tonight.

1540
01:14:39,028 --> 01:14:44,278
If we do, and then
in a month or two,

1541
01:14:44,278 --> 01:14:47,608
you'll come and say
this is what it's

1542
01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:51,508
going to cost to put light
bollards from vineyard

1543
01:14:51,508 --> 01:14:56,283
to Mount Olive or Mount Olive to
Royal Oaks North or something?

1544
01:14:56,283 --> 01:14:57,268
Absolutely.

1545
01:14:57,268 --> 01:15:01,558
So if I may I just want
to give a rough estimate.

1546
01:15:01,558 --> 01:15:07,348
These are outdoor
or solar baller.

1547
01:15:07,348 --> 01:15:14,008
I can check them right now The
highest price 400 bucks each

1548
01:15:14,008 --> 01:15:19,108
So if I just guess how many
around whatever distance,

1549
01:15:19,108 --> 01:15:23,338
then i can certainly know what
the cost is, right The building

1550
01:15:23,338 --> 01:15:28,798
material costs And then for
very quickly, add it on to i'm

1551
01:15:28,798 --> 01:15:34,198
not sure this has to be those
need to for sure be bolted down

1552
01:15:34,198 --> 01:15:35,863
and understood.

1553
01:15:35,863 --> 01:15:39,448
So yeah these price in
the public and Tony Price

1554
01:15:39,448 --> 01:15:42,137
is often very different
in this in this.

1555
01:15:42,137 --> 01:15:45,228
And so I completely
understand that right.

1556
01:15:45,228 --> 01:15:49,078
And i think we can get
a pretty good estimate.

1557
01:15:49,078 --> 01:15:50,998
I don't think it's going
to be for starting.

1558
01:15:50,998 --> 01:15:56,488
I want to go and see the math to
do this, because I do recall so

1559
01:15:56,488 --> 01:16:00,148
for many, many years
that we do want lights

1560
01:16:00,148 --> 01:16:03,568
and hopefully we can
have this incorporate it

1561
01:16:03,568 --> 01:16:05,398
into the scope of
it, but it shouldn't

1562
01:16:05,398 --> 01:16:09,898
be ecstatically expensive
because it doesn't add up.

1563
01:16:09,898 --> 01:16:13,498
Can we ask them to
develop the plan including

1564
01:16:13,498 --> 01:16:14,458
the light as an add on?

1565
01:16:14,458 --> 01:16:15,988
I know it can't be
in the scope of work

1566
01:16:15,988 --> 01:16:18,748
for what's approved What we've
gotten the grant money for

1567
01:16:18,748 --> 01:16:21,238
but that we you know, we just
finished doing our capital

1568
01:16:21,238 --> 01:16:22,108
improvement project.

1569
01:16:22,108 --> 01:16:25,403
We have a pretty decent
idea of our financial goals.

1570
01:16:25,403 --> 01:16:29,182
And we can then, you
know, consider that when

1571
01:16:29,182 --> 01:16:32,206
we move forward Yeah, we will.

1572
01:16:32,206 --> 01:16:34,798
We'll go to a commercial
lighting company

1573
01:16:34,798 --> 01:16:36,238
will get a new estimate.

1574
01:16:36,238 --> 01:16:41,338
You know, it's for the 1.6 miles
and we'll bring an amount back

1575
01:16:41,338 --> 01:16:42,958
for you to discuss
and let them know,

1576
01:16:42,958 --> 01:16:45,358
you know, we're on
a budget, you know,

1577
01:16:45,358 --> 01:16:47,373
give us some options
You know, don't

1578
01:16:47,373 --> 01:16:49,833
go straight to the Cadillac just
because it's a public entity.

1579
01:16:49,833 --> 01:16:53,018
Let's see what the then
kia has got going on it.

1580
01:16:53,018 --> 01:16:53,518
Yeah.

1581
01:16:53,518 --> 01:16:54,448
Good luck with that.

1582
01:16:54,448 --> 01:16:57,328
So on as you say, city I do have
I have one question that will

1583
01:16:57,328 --> 01:17:04,078
help us on this is that since
the since all parks closed 10:00

1584
01:17:04,078 --> 01:17:08,589
and there are security issues,
my assumption would be is that

1585
01:17:08,589 --> 01:17:10,918
we would also want
something that has

1586
01:17:10,918 --> 01:17:11,938
the ability to be on a timer.

1587
01:17:11,938 --> 01:17:14,048
So, yes closed off at.

1588
01:17:14,048 --> 01:17:15,728
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1589
01:17:15,728 --> 01:17:19,465
And they could I mean, I'm sure
I'm thinking too like, you know,

1590
01:17:19,465 --> 01:17:21,740
the lights just behind the
trail of houses on, right.

1591
01:17:21,740 --> 01:17:23,898
Looks like the little small
trail by Foothill Academy.

1592
01:17:23,898 --> 01:17:25,198
They're probably
going to want a dimmer

1593
01:17:25,198 --> 01:17:26,968
version of the lights
Very dim version

1594
01:17:26,968 --> 01:17:28,138
if it's their backyard Right.

1595
01:17:28,138 --> 01:17:30,058
We're going to have to
be considerate of where

1596
01:17:30,058 --> 01:17:30,988
each placement is.

1597
01:17:30,988 --> 01:17:32,938
But you know there's
you know where

1598
01:17:32,938 --> 01:17:35,338
it's going under the bridge
and it's super dark and scary.

1599
01:17:35,338 --> 01:17:36,928
Like that's going to
need some lighting,

1600
01:17:36,928 --> 01:17:39,868
you know that's actually
within the scope of the project

1601
01:17:39,868 --> 01:17:41,668
with that lighting
Lighting under the bridge

1602
01:17:41,668 --> 01:17:42,898
is actually with
the scope of that.

1603
01:17:42,898 --> 01:17:43,408
That's awesome.

1604
01:17:43,408 --> 01:17:45,058
That's their other parts.

1605
01:17:45,058 --> 01:17:48,148
Like when you're walking
like i just bumped into.

1606
01:17:48,148 --> 01:17:50,488
And I I've seen
coyotes walking around.

1607
01:17:50,488 --> 01:17:51,779
I mean, running around too.

1608
01:17:51,779 --> 01:17:54,038
So just want to making
sure that it's safe.

1609
01:17:54,038 --> 01:17:54,538
Yeah.

1610
01:17:54,538 --> 01:17:56,770
Daylight savings
to walk past 4 p.m.

1611
01:17:56,770 --> 01:17:59,968
And so if we can give that
to our community at a price

1612
01:17:59,968 --> 01:18:03,868
that we can consider taking
from one of our funds

1613
01:18:03,868 --> 01:18:05,128
I think we want to consider it.

1614
01:18:05,128 --> 01:18:08,308
So i do, I want at
least hear about it.

1615
01:18:08,308 --> 01:18:10,078
Councilmember Garcia
and then Councilmember

1616
01:18:10,078 --> 01:18:14,290
Calderon I think the
consensus is to see the trail

1617
01:18:14,290 --> 01:18:17,008
lit the whole 1.6.

1618
01:18:17,008 --> 01:18:21,508
I would prefer to see what that
cost will be in sections Instead

1619
01:18:21,508 --> 01:18:23,578
of encouraging the
whole try to be

1620
01:18:23,578 --> 01:18:26,818
just that one particular section
that's out for the bridge.

1621
01:18:26,818 --> 01:18:28,138
I think up to you
get to not only

1622
01:18:28,138 --> 01:18:32,218
if it gets really, really
dark and and if I may

1623
01:18:32,218 --> 01:18:34,978
Councilman Garcia is
there solar out there?

1624
01:18:34,978 --> 01:18:36,478
We don't need to go in.

1625
01:18:36,478 --> 01:18:38,344
You know do all these tranches.

1626
01:18:38,344 --> 01:18:39,425
And all that stuff.

1627
01:18:39,425 --> 01:18:39,925
Correct.

1628
01:18:39,925 --> 01:18:42,088
But yeah, I i'd like to
see what that would look

1629
01:18:42,088 --> 01:18:44,398
like just in phases
in case we couldn't

1630
01:18:44,398 --> 01:18:46,378
fund the whole 1.6 miles.

1631
01:18:46,378 --> 01:18:50,788
At least identify the areas
that we are very dark in just

1632
01:18:50,788 --> 01:18:58,348
to clarify, you talked between
Buena Vista and the island

1633
01:18:58,348 --> 01:19:01,468
long stretch before
you get to island,

1634
01:19:01,468 --> 01:19:06,808
all live and rail looks going
on that gets really dark.

1635
01:19:06,808 --> 01:19:11,357
I think it means between the
bridge and Mount Olive Yes.

1636
01:19:11,357 --> 01:19:12,129
Yes.

1637
01:19:12,129 --> 01:19:12,902
OK.

1638
01:19:12,902 --> 01:19:18,028
Bridge amount of
passive use and stuff.

1639
01:19:18,028 --> 01:19:19,438
Thank you.

1640
01:19:19,438 --> 01:19:22,408
Thank you I just
have a question.

1641
01:19:22,408 --> 01:19:28,468
How many ADA accessible
entrances will the Cho have?

1642
01:19:28,468 --> 01:19:30,328
Just because I
know that one time

1643
01:19:30,328 --> 01:19:34,108
there was I mean, as we've heard
I walked that through a lot.

1644
01:19:34,108 --> 01:19:36,682
But one time there is some tree
activity that was going on.

1645
01:19:36,682 --> 01:19:38,548
And there is a sign
that said no idea

1646
01:19:38,548 --> 01:19:40,055
accessible for the whole day.

1647
01:19:40,055 --> 01:19:41,488
So I'm just wondering
if it's going to have

1648
01:19:41,488 --> 01:19:43,602
multiple entrances for people.

1649
01:19:43,602 --> 01:19:46,948
It's essentially at
every intersection

1650
01:19:46,948 --> 01:19:49,888
I mean, for instance, if
you look at one a vista,

1651
01:19:49,888 --> 01:19:53,449
you've got an entrance from
the I mean, from the north.

1652
01:19:53,449 --> 01:19:54,838
And the south side.

1653
01:19:54,838 --> 01:19:57,868
And then through the
middle and other areas,

1654
01:19:57,868 --> 01:20:02,338
it's just the actual trail
entrance at at the intersection

1655
01:20:02,338 --> 01:20:03,658
at that particular case.

1656
01:20:03,658 --> 01:20:05,398
The reason that
sign read that was

1657
01:20:05,398 --> 01:20:09,328
because the entrance that
actually paved section

1658
01:20:09,328 --> 01:20:11,338
of the trail was being blocked.

1659
01:20:11,338 --> 01:20:13,828
And so therefore, anybody
that was using the trail

1660
01:20:13,828 --> 01:20:15,688
was going to have
to use a dirt path

1661
01:20:15,688 --> 01:20:19,198
and that is not a
designated ADA path.

1662
01:20:19,198 --> 01:20:22,678
And we wanted to make sure
that people that were walking

1663
01:20:22,678 --> 01:20:24,598
the trail were using
the trail at that time,

1664
01:20:24,598 --> 01:20:28,202
understood that that ADA
access was not available OK.

1665
01:20:28,202 --> 01:20:29,591
I just had a thought.

1666
01:20:29,591 --> 01:20:33,658
What about asking like local
businesses, Dignitas fees, etc.,

1667
01:20:33,658 --> 01:20:35,321
about like donating a
lamp post and then we

1668
01:20:35,321 --> 01:20:36,988
can have a little plaque
on the lamp post for them

1669
01:20:36,988 --> 01:20:38,038
If we did solar.

1670
01:20:38,038 --> 01:20:40,918
And we can send it out to
all of our assembly people,

1671
01:20:40,918 --> 01:20:44,488
we can send it out to big
partners like City of Hope, etc.

1672
01:20:44,488 --> 01:20:46,498
and see, you know,
maybe see developments

1673
01:20:46,498 --> 01:20:48,628
to donate a little section
and call it the little section

1674
01:20:48,628 --> 01:20:54,208
of hope, things like that Mayor
I'm so sorry to interrupt up

1675
01:20:54,208 --> 01:20:58,468
here, but I just wanted us to
get back to the the contract

1676
01:20:58,468 --> 01:21:01,468
itself, which is for the
current design and approval.

1677
01:21:01,468 --> 01:21:05,548
If the city council wants
staff to go back and change

1678
01:21:05,548 --> 01:21:09,088
the scope of that to incorporate
these changes, we could do that.

1679
01:21:09,088 --> 01:21:11,668
I don't think that's the
recommendation tonight However,

1680
01:21:11,668 --> 01:21:14,368
if you want staff to go
and get you the estimates

1681
01:21:14,368 --> 01:21:18,118
for the lighting and design and
things like that with new ideas

1682
01:21:18,118 --> 01:21:19,858
like you mentioned,
we can do that too.

1683
01:21:19,858 --> 01:21:24,268
But since this contract is
pretty specific to the ADA

1684
01:21:24,268 --> 01:21:25,678
improvements and the
grant, we kind of

1685
01:21:25,678 --> 01:21:29,488
want to I am apprehensive to
go forward with this scope

1686
01:21:29,488 --> 01:21:31,658
if we're not going to be
able to have this discussions

1687
01:21:31,658 --> 01:21:33,358
and then we're going to
all be stuck with our hands

1688
01:21:33,358 --> 01:21:34,348
tired and frustrated.

1689
01:21:34,348 --> 01:21:38,398
So i don't know what that means
do we want to go back and have

1690
01:21:38,398 --> 01:21:40,708
the scope to add lighting
as a add on option,

1691
01:21:40,708 --> 01:21:42,418
but have it included
in this plan

1692
01:21:42,418 --> 01:21:44,398
that where we don't
have to worry about or

1693
01:21:44,398 --> 01:21:48,218
or if I could if we could
move forward with this.

1694
01:21:48,218 --> 01:21:51,268
And then come back and on
the next council meeting,

1695
01:21:51,268 --> 01:21:54,328
even for a discussion
on lighting

1696
01:21:54,328 --> 01:21:57,420
or additional lighting
on the trail, then

1697
01:21:57,420 --> 01:21:59,453
we're going to have to bring
this back again, because they're

1698
01:21:59,453 --> 01:22:01,062
going to want to
start this for seven

1699
01:22:01,062 --> 01:22:04,518
for this portion, which is which
is all under the grant money

1700
01:22:04,518 --> 01:22:08,518
But if we're looking at adding
additional lighting we can

1701
01:22:08,518 --> 01:22:11,938
we have time to at least
bring it back, discuss,

1702
01:22:11,938 --> 01:22:15,058
have staff, take the
direction and come back

1703
01:22:15,058 --> 01:22:16,786
with further details on cost.

1704
01:22:16,786 --> 01:22:19,042
And we can move
forward that way.

1705
01:22:19,042 --> 01:22:19,606
Yeah.

1706
01:22:19,606 --> 01:22:20,938
And i would just
say that necessarily

1707
01:22:20,938 --> 01:22:23,548
the problem with adding
to this is we will

1708
01:22:23,548 --> 01:22:24,748
have to go back out to bid.

1709
01:22:24,748 --> 01:22:28,241
And I I really urge
that we don't do that.

1710
01:22:28,241 --> 01:22:30,718
If if the issue is
adding lighting,

1711
01:22:30,718 --> 01:22:33,688
we can add lighting
within the time period.

1712
01:22:33,688 --> 01:22:35,398
If there's a choice to
do that within the time

1713
01:22:35,398 --> 01:22:37,818
period of construction
we can add that on.

1714
01:22:37,818 --> 01:22:39,806
But yeah, I was going
to say, because I think

1715
01:22:39,806 --> 01:22:42,815
the scope in approving this is
within the scope of the grant

1716
01:22:42,815 --> 01:22:43,608
money.

1717
01:22:43,608 --> 01:22:46,918
And I think sooner
we put a stamp on it,

1718
01:22:46,918 --> 01:22:50,218
the sooner we can get this
money move forward to show

1719
01:22:50,218 --> 01:22:53,722
But I think there is a
consensus here on the council

1720
01:22:53,722 --> 01:22:57,418
that we do want to incorporate
lighting into this.

1721
01:22:57,418 --> 01:22:59,788
So during the time
of construction

1722
01:22:59,788 --> 01:23:04,048
or before construct
SSiOn moves forward

1723
01:23:04,048 --> 01:23:08,668
we should have a vote, a
definitive answer on what type

1724
01:23:08,668 --> 01:23:10,498
of lighting or the
amount or the budget

1725
01:23:10,498 --> 01:23:12,208
that we want to utilize
for the lighting.

1726
01:23:12,208 --> 01:23:13,408
I know that's going
to come separate

1727
01:23:13,408 --> 01:23:16,258
but I think we can do
that because this gives us

1728
01:23:16,258 --> 01:23:18,598
the opportunity to go ahead
and move forward and utilize

1729
01:23:18,598 --> 01:23:21,268
the grant money that is on
the table here and in addition

1730
01:23:21,268 --> 01:23:23,128
to that, everybody has
seen each other's numbers

1731
01:23:23,128 --> 01:23:25,948
and we might be
seeing a 3.5 million

1732
01:23:25,948 --> 01:23:27,628
trail if it goes
out to bid again.

1733
01:23:27,628 --> 01:23:31,591
So it's in our best interest
already on that vein,

1734
01:23:31,591 --> 01:23:35,668
then, may I have a motion for
recommended action Second,

1735
01:23:35,668 --> 01:23:40,888
might I just given council's
conversation recommend

1736
01:23:40,888 --> 01:23:44,188
that the motion be approved
Staff's organization

1737
01:23:44,188 --> 01:23:47,038
and direct staff to come
back with information

1738
01:23:47,038 --> 01:23:51,838
regarding lighting or for
the trail Yes, that's it.

1739
01:23:51,838 --> 01:23:52,586
All right.

1740
01:23:52,586 --> 01:23:53,669
Make get a second.

1741
01:23:53,669 --> 01:23:54,838
Second.

1742
01:23:54,838 --> 01:23:59,578
All in favor I. I open tie.

1743
01:23:59,578 --> 01:24:03,538
Can I add on to
this Well, we just.

1744
01:24:03,538 --> 01:24:07,050
But, you know specifically
on solar and self-sustained,

1745
01:24:07,050 --> 01:24:09,148
we don't need to go
in and dig trenches.

1746
01:24:09,148 --> 01:24:12,061
We just don't We can explore
our lighting options.

1747
01:24:12,061 --> 01:24:13,528
Oh, great.

1748
01:24:13,528 --> 01:24:15,004
Thank you I just.

1749
01:24:15,004 --> 01:24:16,978
I know we already
voted, Stephanie.

1750
01:24:16,978 --> 01:24:20,098
There's currently stop
signs facing the pedestrians

1751
01:24:20,098 --> 01:24:22,914
and bikers on the trail
I'm got a feedback

1752
01:24:22,914 --> 01:24:24,242
that they're a little high.

1753
01:24:24,242 --> 01:24:26,028
And so pedestrians are
just walking through,

1754
01:24:26,028 --> 01:24:28,069
I don't think they're aware
that means they should

1755
01:24:28,069 --> 01:24:29,769
stop and look for traffic.

1756
01:24:29,769 --> 01:24:31,078
You think with
this upgrade we can

1757
01:24:31,078 --> 01:24:33,748
bring those eye level for that?

1758
01:24:33,748 --> 01:24:34,618
That can be considered?

1759
01:24:34,618 --> 01:24:37,228
Yes it's very likely
that they were installed

1760
01:24:37,228 --> 01:24:39,388
that high for bike riders.

1761
01:24:39,388 --> 01:24:41,596
But there there
will definitely be

1762
01:24:41,596 --> 01:24:46,408
added striping as well on the
floor on the trail itself.

1763
01:24:46,408 --> 01:24:51,568
Higher visibility signage We
can definitely add more signs

1764
01:24:51,568 --> 01:24:55,708
for pedestrians All righty.

1765
01:24:55,708 --> 01:25:01,708
Thank you so much All righty
I believe we are moving on

1766
01:25:01,708 --> 01:25:05,458
to number 14 items from
city council housing

1767
01:25:05,458 --> 01:25:09,658
authority financing
And we will go

1768
01:25:09,658 --> 01:25:13,708
ahead and start with Larry Me.

1769
01:25:13,708 --> 01:25:16,048
All right Mr. Henslee.

1770
01:25:16,048 --> 01:25:17,488
Mr. Enriquez.

1771
01:25:17,488 --> 01:25:24,688
Mr. Peterson, Mr. Villalobos So
staff and i recently met with

1772
01:25:24,688 --> 01:25:29,758
Route 66 committee, and we're
working on finalizing the route

1773
01:25:29,758 --> 01:25:33,628
for this year's 100th
anniversary parade

1774
01:25:33,628 --> 01:25:35,848
So that's coming along nicely.

1775
01:25:35,848 --> 01:25:40,558
Additionally today, the mayor
and Councilmember Garcia and I

1776
01:25:40,558 --> 01:25:45,508
met with the CEO Angelique
Richards from City of Hope

1777
01:25:45,508 --> 01:25:50,518
as well as executive
director Peter mackler.

1778
01:25:50,518 --> 01:25:54,448
Just to discuss
really partnerships

1779
01:25:54,448 --> 01:25:56,848
and just to introduce ourselves.

1780
01:25:56,848 --> 01:26:00,748
And then introduce them and
is to make sure that we all

1781
01:26:00,748 --> 01:26:03,568
are keeping in mind that
we're important to each other

1782
01:26:03,568 --> 01:26:07,258
and each other's success So it
was a very positive introduction

1783
01:26:07,258 --> 01:26:10,678
and meeting because we
had not met the new CEO.

1784
01:26:10,678 --> 01:26:13,408
Additionally Well,
now it's been,

1785
01:26:13,408 --> 01:26:15,478
I think a little
bit of while but we

1786
01:26:15,478 --> 01:26:18,178
did have a meeting with the
Nordson Gabriel River Working

1787
01:26:18,178 --> 01:26:22,618
Group which consists of Risa
Irwindale and US, which goes

1788
01:26:22,618 --> 01:26:28,498
to Laurel Park Currently
we're under review in the JPA,

1789
01:26:28,498 --> 01:26:31,318
which would be formed
between all three cities.

1790
01:26:31,318 --> 01:26:35,518
The reason being we're forming
the jPA is because Senator Rubio

1791
01:26:35,518 --> 01:26:38,128
has earmarked
approximately 4 million

1792
01:26:38,128 --> 01:26:44,398
in funds for us to use for
the really beautification

1793
01:26:44,398 --> 01:26:48,928
and installation of
Loreal Park currently

1794
01:26:48,928 --> 01:26:53,368
it's sitting that county
terminated their lease mutually

1795
01:26:53,368 --> 01:26:56,278
terminated their lease with the
Army Corps of Engineer, which

1796
01:26:56,278 --> 01:26:57,958
allowed the EPA to
go in there and set

1797
01:26:57,958 --> 01:26:59,968
up their site after the fire.

1798
01:26:59,968 --> 01:27:02,038
It's still sitting terminated.

1799
01:27:02,038 --> 01:27:05,098
The army corps wishes to
enter into a lease agreement

1800
01:27:05,098 --> 01:27:08,248
with the JPA for us
to control the park

1801
01:27:08,248 --> 01:27:12,508
and with those funds from
Senator Rubio, we the hope is,

1802
01:27:12,508 --> 01:27:16,798
is to construct some kind of
outdoor classroom and park

1803
01:27:16,798 --> 01:27:20,698
area that talks about
the water the importance

1804
01:27:20,698 --> 01:27:24,268
of that riverbed
Native Americans

1805
01:27:24,268 --> 01:27:25,979
and the native vegetation.

1806
01:27:25,979 --> 01:27:29,458
So there's there's a
lot of work in progress.

1807
01:27:29,458 --> 01:27:30,538
It'll take a little time.

1808
01:27:30,538 --> 01:27:32,908
But you will
eventually see a JPA

1809
01:27:32,908 --> 01:27:35,878
come to you for your
approval to continue

1810
01:27:35,878 --> 01:27:37,798
this process forward with that.

1811
01:27:37,798 --> 01:27:39,508
That's all I have.

1812
01:27:39,508 --> 01:27:42,743
Thank you Note Anything
from this time?

1813
01:27:42,743 --> 01:27:44,218
Councilmember Garcia Thank you.

1814
01:27:44,218 --> 01:27:44,758
You so much.

1815
01:27:44,758 --> 01:27:48,589
Mayor Mr. Vila was talked
about and we took a tour.

1816
01:27:48,589 --> 01:27:51,001
The mayor and I of city
of Hope Hope Plaza.

1817
01:27:51,001 --> 01:27:52,828
It's a beautiful,
beautiful building.

1818
01:27:52,828 --> 01:27:56,188
And it's incredible to know or
to get a reminder every so often

1819
01:27:56,188 --> 01:27:57,808
about the life
saving treatment that

1820
01:27:57,808 --> 01:28:00,028
is happening in our community.

1821
01:28:00,028 --> 01:28:01,888
The folks that travel
from all over the country

1822
01:28:01,888 --> 01:28:04,198
and around the
world to get treated

1823
01:28:04,198 --> 01:28:08,368
here I saw one of the
best views of our city

1824
01:28:08,368 --> 01:28:13,708
from the eighth floor of
Hope Plaza a with the city's

1825
01:28:13,708 --> 01:28:15,868
growing tremendously in
the last couple of years

1826
01:28:15,868 --> 01:28:18,928
So I think everybody involved
Director Hensley, you

1827
01:28:18,928 --> 01:28:22,078
and your team the
vision, the eye for some

1828
01:28:22,078 --> 01:28:24,238
of these developments
like dirty station

1829
01:28:24,238 --> 01:28:26,348
to see them from
that point of view,

1830
01:28:26,348 --> 01:28:29,098
it really was my mind blowing.

1831
01:28:29,098 --> 01:28:32,068
And they did talk about
the hotel being 80%

1832
01:28:32,068 --> 01:28:34,489
occupied Monday through
Friday and the need

1833
01:28:34,489 --> 01:28:35,473
of having another one.

1834
01:28:35,473 --> 01:28:36,851
So I think as a city.

1835
01:28:36,851 --> 01:28:39,898
We welcome anyone who wants
to do that in our community

1836
01:28:39,898 --> 01:28:43,858
and help us close
that gap There is

1837
01:28:43,858 --> 01:28:45,818
a need for something like that.

1838
01:28:45,818 --> 01:28:49,618
With that I look forward to
seeing everybody at the mayor's

1839
01:28:49,618 --> 01:28:51,538
state of the City State
of the Schools event

1840
01:28:51,538 --> 01:28:55,934
on May Fourth, along with
the USD superintendent school

1841
01:28:55,934 --> 01:28:57,333
board principal and
our city manager

1842
01:28:57,333 --> 01:29:01,858
and have a good night All right,
Councilmember Calderon I just

1843
01:29:01,858 --> 01:29:04,018
want to thank staff for
the awesome Easter event

1844
01:29:04,018 --> 01:29:07,348
you guys hosted It
was amazingly attended

1845
01:29:07,348 --> 01:29:08,714
and I actually ran
into some friends,

1846
01:29:08,714 --> 01:29:11,008
and they said they went to
two different Easter events

1847
01:29:11,008 --> 01:29:15,448
and ours was the best
planned that they went to.

1848
01:29:15,448 --> 01:29:17,758
And i just want to talk about
the importance of parks.

1849
01:29:17,758 --> 01:29:19,941
I mean, you saw
that easter event.

1850
01:29:19,941 --> 01:29:22,888
And then you saw the discussion
we had about our drill

1851
01:29:22,888 --> 01:29:24,238
I think moving forward.

1852
01:29:24,238 --> 01:29:27,058
Parks are going to be really
important, whether it's a dog

1853
01:29:27,058 --> 01:29:27,958
park, whether it's a trail.

1854
01:29:27,958 --> 01:29:31,018
I think if you build it,
people are going to be using it

1855
01:29:31,018 --> 01:29:33,418
and they're welcomed in
the city of Dougherty.

1856
01:29:33,418 --> 01:29:36,916
That's awesome Council
member Finley Okay.

1857
01:29:36,916 --> 01:29:37,888
Thank you.

1858
01:29:37,888 --> 01:29:39,208
You.

1859
01:29:39,208 --> 01:29:39,833
I like you.

1860
01:29:39,833 --> 01:29:42,418
Mr. Color of
Events, but probably

1861
01:29:42,418 --> 01:29:46,858
one of the most interesting
was the forecasting

1862
01:29:46,858 --> 01:29:52,111
done by with regard to
our region you guys.

1863
01:29:52,111 --> 01:29:54,988
And like seeing this stuff,
this is very, very interesting.

1864
01:29:54,988 --> 01:30:00,418
This demographer he is
actually employed by .

1865
01:30:00,418 --> 01:30:05,158
But initial lee they had
forecast that the median

1866
01:30:05,158 --> 01:30:10,288
age this was back in 2015.

1867
01:30:10,288 --> 01:30:13,258
They were forecasting that
the median age in our region,

1868
01:30:13,258 --> 01:30:18,958
which is it's a Six county
region, was going to be 40.

1869
01:30:18,958 --> 01:30:21,358
It was going to be 40 years old.

1870
01:30:21,358 --> 01:30:23,398
But our population is aging.

1871
01:30:23,398 --> 01:30:27,959
So they're saying in 2050,
instead of being the average age

1872
01:30:27,959 --> 01:30:35,968
of 40 is now 46.4 So it is
definitely an aging population

1873
01:30:35,968 --> 01:30:40,858
here as far as household
size and the household size

1874
01:30:40,858 --> 01:30:46,708
is the 2020 projection
for 2050, it was going

1875
01:30:46,708 --> 01:30:49,708
to be household size of 2.899.

1876
01:30:49,708 --> 01:30:55,168
And now that has
been reduced to 2.49.

1877
01:30:55,168 --> 01:30:57,958
So our households
are getting smaller

1878
01:30:57,958 --> 01:31:01,918
and are reaching
and getting older

1879
01:31:01,918 --> 01:31:03,538
The recap basically of his.

1880
01:31:03,538 --> 01:31:10,198
It was about a hour and a half
display of what's going on.

1881
01:31:10,198 --> 01:31:14,189
He said the population will
remain stable or decline

1882
01:31:14,189 --> 01:31:18,208
slightly and age
substantially Housing growth

1883
01:31:18,208 --> 01:31:22,078
will be slower than previously
expected, but will continue

1884
01:31:22,078 --> 01:31:27,988
to exceed the population growth
The job outlook will be flat

1885
01:31:27,988 --> 01:31:32,728
following low population
growth and air dispersion

1886
01:31:32,728 --> 01:31:34,648
and will be
concentrated in health

1887
01:31:34,648 --> 01:31:37,708
care and socialist assistance.

1888
01:31:37,708 --> 01:31:39,988
And as i said, the
average household sizes

1889
01:31:39,988 --> 01:31:49,088
will be much smaller than
I attended a function for.

1890
01:31:49,088 --> 01:31:50,822
And I know.

1891
01:31:50,822 --> 01:31:55,918
Let's see you're in on this
is we have new proposed sewer

1892
01:31:55,918 --> 01:32:01,138
service charge rates in
the operating cross costs

1893
01:32:01,138 --> 01:32:04,853
have grown 20% over
the last five years.

1894
01:32:04,853 --> 01:32:07,918
And our income has
only increased 10%.

1895
01:32:07,918 --> 01:32:13,146
And when I say our income, the
unit ain't talking about mine.

1896
01:32:13,146 --> 01:32:17,218
And Dell is the
sanitation district

1897
01:32:17,218 --> 01:32:20,128
So costs have gone up
due to a lot of capital

1898
01:32:20,128 --> 01:32:25,078
projects like Clearwater
Pier, Water all of those.

1899
01:32:25,078 --> 01:32:28,078
And so they will be
going up our survey

1900
01:32:28,078 --> 01:32:31,858
or monthly service charges and
they're having public hearings.

1901
01:32:31,858 --> 01:32:35,248
So people can talk about this.

1902
01:32:35,248 --> 01:32:40,498
May 13th of May
20th and May 27th.

1903
01:32:40,498 --> 01:32:43,018
That's when our public
hearing is for the city

1904
01:32:43,018 --> 01:32:46,018
of Dougherty is may 27th.

1905
01:32:46,018 --> 01:32:50,758
At 130, you'll be
there probably with me.

1906
01:32:50,758 --> 01:32:51,418
OK?

1907
01:32:51,418 --> 01:32:52,078
Yep.

1908
01:32:52,078 --> 01:32:53,548
And let's see.

1909
01:32:53,548 --> 01:32:56,758
Olympic forecasting
I went to a meeting

1910
01:32:56,758 --> 01:33:01,348
on transportation demand
management for the Olympics

1911
01:33:01,348 --> 01:33:05,128
and we are looking
at they're expecting

1912
01:33:05,128 --> 01:33:12,688
the people to be driving 50%
less during the Olympics.

1913
01:33:12,688 --> 01:33:17,098
And I'm talking about all of
us that live here, 15% less

1914
01:33:17,098 --> 01:33:21,538
will make a big difference
when the Olympics come.

1915
01:33:21,538 --> 01:33:26,547
And finally we had the
arts ad hoc committee who

1916
01:33:26,547 --> 01:33:28,588
was there See you were there.

1917
01:33:28,588 --> 01:33:32,818
Martin you in a couple of
weeks, you're going to have

1918
01:33:32,818 --> 01:33:34,558
some great art to look at.

1919
01:33:34,558 --> 01:33:37,888
The people were very,
very talented this time.

1920
01:33:37,888 --> 01:33:39,508
And so that's all I have.

1921
01:33:39,508 --> 01:33:40,198
Thank you.

1922
01:33:40,198 --> 01:33:41,098
Thank you.

1923
01:33:41,098 --> 01:33:49,978
Let's go with councilmember
Louis I just I don't have much.

1924
01:33:49,978 --> 01:33:53,638
I just was just, like, to take.

1925
01:33:53,638 --> 01:33:56,368
Just like that
Everyone know this week

1926
01:33:56,368 --> 01:34:00,658
is Los Angeles county
Fire Department dispatch

1927
01:34:00,658 --> 01:34:02,848
watch Appreciation Week.

1928
01:34:02,848 --> 01:34:05,578
And they're having an
appreciation for all

1929
01:34:05,578 --> 01:34:10,618
the dispatchers and it may
not seem like a hard job,

1930
01:34:10,618 --> 01:34:16,468
but I. I sat in one day
and thought I could do it.

1931
01:34:16,468 --> 01:34:18,178
And it's impossible.

1932
01:34:18,178 --> 01:34:23,038
I mean, you some people, it's
really it's really a tough job.

1933
01:34:23,038 --> 01:34:31,108
And I just want to say, you know
thank you to all the dispatchers

1934
01:34:31,108 --> 01:34:33,898
They make sure all the
firefighters and all

1935
01:34:33,898 --> 01:34:37,018
the paramedics get to
the right address They

1936
01:34:37,018 --> 01:34:41,458
take the right
information and thank you.

1937
01:34:41,458 --> 01:34:42,628
And that's all I have.

1938
01:34:42,628 --> 01:34:50,008
Good night All right, let's do
council member Chong Nothing

1939
01:34:50,008 --> 01:34:51,705
really to report,
but I did attend

1940
01:34:51,705 --> 01:34:54,808
the in our meeting I
was not able to attend

1941
01:34:54,808 --> 01:34:55,618
the in our meeting.

1942
01:34:55,618 --> 01:35:01,618
I did attend the
same cPPCC meeting

1943
01:35:01,618 --> 01:35:05,878
and also the nurse saying
you role we're working group.

1944
01:35:05,878 --> 01:35:09,658
I just want to say
with that group

1945
01:35:09,658 --> 01:35:13,498
you know Councilmember
garcia and I

1946
01:35:13,498 --> 01:35:16,468
and Carol we stepped
into this, but I

1947
01:35:16,468 --> 01:35:19,678
think this group was
created during back

1948
01:35:19,678 --> 01:35:23,818
in 2020 when we had those
wildfires, 20, 20, 20, 21.

1949
01:35:23,818 --> 01:35:26,638
House member kang and
former Council min.

1950
01:35:26,638 --> 01:35:27,328
Shultz.

1951
01:35:27,328 --> 01:35:29,878
But I think there's a lot of
progress that is being made.

1952
01:35:29,878 --> 01:35:35,428
There and being able to
work together as a region.

1953
01:35:35,428 --> 01:35:37,708
I know for a fact
that this is going

1954
01:35:37,708 --> 01:35:39,298
to be a blueprint
for other cities

1955
01:35:39,298 --> 01:35:43,378
that are encountering issues
like this and everybody put

1956
01:35:43,378 --> 01:35:44,338
their differences aside.

1957
01:35:44,338 --> 01:35:47,038
There's one common goal,
I think a lot of things

1958
01:35:47,038 --> 01:35:50,068
are get done and taken
care of as far as a region

1959
01:35:50,068 --> 01:35:54,058
I just want to thank Brian
for and staff for always being

1960
01:35:54,058 --> 01:35:57,718
able to attend and making
sure that what is represented

1961
01:35:57,718 --> 01:36:01,768
and for my colleagues to be
able to attend all the time

1962
01:36:01,768 --> 01:36:04,078
and make sure that
our voices are heard.

1963
01:36:04,078 --> 01:36:13,018
But besides that a lot of things
going on with wildfire clearance

1964
01:36:13,018 --> 01:36:14,908
It's summertime is coming up.

1965
01:36:14,908 --> 01:36:18,566
Fire season is coming
up I know, we just

1966
01:36:18,566 --> 01:36:23,144
had a big one in L.A.
County about a year ago,

1967
01:36:23,144 --> 01:36:25,558
but it's never too
late to be safe.

1968
01:36:25,558 --> 01:36:27,628
So just do your part.

1969
01:36:27,628 --> 01:36:29,278
Do your due diligence.

1970
01:36:29,278 --> 01:36:30,778
Don't give your
insurance companies

1971
01:36:30,778 --> 01:36:35,368
any reasons to cancel or
increase your insurance

1972
01:36:35,368 --> 01:36:38,488
monthly insurance bills.

1973
01:36:38,488 --> 01:36:40,678
Besides that Thank
you all very much.

1974
01:36:40,678 --> 01:36:44,068
And now we're going to thank
you, Mayor Pro Tem King.

1975
01:36:44,068 --> 01:36:46,778
Thank you, Mayor
It's really loud.

1976
01:36:46,778 --> 01:36:47,278
Yeah.

1977
01:36:47,278 --> 01:36:48,325
Okay.

1978
01:36:48,325 --> 01:36:49,018
This is friendly.

1979
01:36:49,018 --> 01:36:49,858
You're absolutely right.

1980
01:36:49,858 --> 01:36:53,458
I think the word you said,
you know, the cost of living

1981
01:36:53,458 --> 01:36:59,158
is not going up, but
everything else is going up.

1982
01:36:59,158 --> 01:37:02,098
There's only one person
that doesn't think that way.

1983
01:37:02,098 --> 01:37:03,478
Thinks everything is going down.

1984
01:37:03,478 --> 01:37:08,338
But is fighting
something right now

1985
01:37:08,338 --> 01:37:12,658
Imagine really sad It's
just really sad to see

1986
01:37:12,658 --> 01:37:14,548
how these prices are going up.

1987
01:37:14,548 --> 01:37:20,539
And I think it's going
to drive us to to a word

1988
01:37:20,539 --> 01:37:22,506
that I'm going to go ahead and
use the cost self-sustained.

1989
01:37:22,506 --> 01:37:23,836
We will it.

1990
01:37:23,836 --> 01:37:28,138
We're going to have solar power,
battery storage You're going

1991
01:37:28,138 --> 01:37:30,178
to have your electric cars.

1992
01:37:30,178 --> 01:37:32,668
And I want to say, even water.

1993
01:37:32,668 --> 01:37:37,798
Now they're using con
condensation, water to capture

1994
01:37:37,798 --> 01:37:42,418
water from air And
what's that's going to do

1995
01:37:42,418 --> 01:37:45,586
is people can't afford
all these stuff.

1996
01:37:45,586 --> 01:37:49,198
And people are getting
squeezed Yeah, you

1997
01:37:49,198 --> 01:37:55,651
know what The wages are maybe
perhaps going up very, very

1998
01:37:55,651 --> 01:37:59,158
slowly but they are going up.

1999
01:37:59,158 --> 01:38:02,560
But the way we print all
that money in America

2000
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:08,338
and it's that inflation is
going to it's kind of like

2001
01:38:08,338 --> 01:38:13,258
outweighed our wages
to right And we're

2002
01:38:13,258 --> 01:38:14,797
very expensive in America.

2003
01:38:14,797 --> 01:38:16,501
I want to let you guys know.

2004
01:38:16,501 --> 01:38:18,936
I mean, for me to
go have a dinner.

2005
01:38:18,936 --> 01:38:22,078
I talked about this before
with with my girlfriend,

2006
01:38:22,078 --> 01:38:24,796
whatever, it will be like
100 bucks, Hundreds bucks

2007
01:38:24,796 --> 01:38:26,332
just like that.

2008
01:38:26,332 --> 01:38:33,778
But if you go to Mexico and
go to like some smaller cities

2009
01:38:33,778 --> 01:38:38,698
man, a juicy piece
of like organ steak,

2010
01:38:38,698 --> 01:38:42,388
tomatoes tastes like
tomatoes fresh tortillas

2011
01:38:42,388 --> 01:38:51,748
and so on with a shrink cost
me $5, $5, right So what

2012
01:38:51,748 --> 01:38:54,346
is it that we need to do in.

2013
01:38:54,346 --> 01:38:59,878
I just I I don't
know what to say,

2014
01:38:59,878 --> 01:39:02,458
but we're getting
squeezed so hard,

2015
01:39:02,458 --> 01:39:06,490
and it really should
be Americans First.

2016
01:39:06,490 --> 01:39:10,018
It should be Americans first.

2017
01:39:10,018 --> 01:39:16,078
And we somehow going to
help us with all the taxes

2018
01:39:16,078 --> 01:39:20,038
that we're paying in l.A. County
wants to go ahead and increase

2019
01:39:20,038 --> 01:39:22,078
even more sales taxes.

2020
01:39:22,078 --> 01:39:25,348
All my big I mean,
my big purchases, I

2021
01:39:25,348 --> 01:39:28,348
could have I go to
Orange County now

2022
01:39:28,348 --> 01:39:33,688
So this is like I think
it's like two two pinnacle.

2023
01:39:33,688 --> 01:39:39,358
It's it's really, really going
to pivot towards the other way

2024
01:39:39,358 --> 01:39:42,984
for very soon if
we don't go ahead

2025
01:39:42,984 --> 01:39:49,708
and somehow i'll fix our
dysfunction in our system here.

2026
01:39:49,708 --> 01:39:53,368
It's very sad with
the prices going up.

2027
01:39:53,368 --> 01:39:57,448
It's driving a lot of
people away from purchasing

2028
01:39:57,448 --> 01:40:00,148
and they can't even purchase.

2029
01:40:00,148 --> 01:40:04,798
And a lot of people are
living paycheck to paycheck.

2030
01:40:04,798 --> 01:40:08,938
It's very sad and
with that, you're

2031
01:40:08,938 --> 01:40:13,648
going to see even more people
become, unfortunately homeless

2032
01:40:13,648 --> 01:40:16,318
with the I and robotics.

2033
01:40:16,318 --> 01:40:17,021
It's true.

2034
01:40:17,021 --> 01:40:19,858
If you go to if you go to
Silicon Valley right now,

2035
01:40:19,858 --> 01:40:24,448
you look at those people there
are getting paid $250,000

2036
01:40:24,448 --> 01:40:25,558
to be a software engineer.

2037
01:40:25,558 --> 01:40:30,868
You came in, find a job come in,
find a job in a grocery store

2038
01:40:30,868 --> 01:40:32,908
I mean, they have
to be Uber drivers.

2039
01:40:32,908 --> 01:40:36,388
It's that crazy
And if you listen

2040
01:40:36,388 --> 01:40:41,831
to some of these A.I. CEOs
this is not like ten years.

2041
01:40:41,831 --> 01:40:45,178
This is happening next year
they're going to go and replace

2042
01:40:45,178 --> 01:40:48,898
even more white
collar jobs So this

2043
01:40:48,898 --> 01:40:54,419
is something that we as a city
we need to really understand.

2044
01:40:54,419 --> 01:40:59,338
And with people not able
to afford unfortunate.

2045
01:40:59,338 --> 01:41:03,628
Lee in America to
rug is prevalent.

2046
01:41:03,628 --> 01:41:04,558
It's everywhere.

2047
01:41:04,558 --> 01:41:08,988
People are start drinking,
smoking pot and gateway drugs.

2048
01:41:08,988 --> 01:41:12,508
And then they get
hooked and then they get

2049
01:41:12,508 --> 01:41:14,338
left onto the streets, right?

2050
01:41:14,338 --> 01:41:17,128
And that's why you see a
lot more homeless people.

2051
01:41:17,128 --> 01:41:20,428
And I've been talking to
actually Starbucks to star bucks

2052
01:41:20,428 --> 01:41:24,028
around this local area
And I go, you know,

2053
01:41:24,028 --> 01:41:25,858
I go there, I drink my
coffee every morning

2054
01:41:25,858 --> 01:41:29,365
and I see actually,
Michelle Mr. Garcia,

2055
01:41:29,365 --> 01:41:32,218
your wife all the
time over there

2056
01:41:32,218 --> 01:41:36,928
and the managers
attacking me every month,

2057
01:41:36,928 --> 01:41:39,450
you see that the first
week of the month,

2058
01:41:39,450 --> 01:41:43,468
you see a whole like, whole
bunch of new homeless folks

2059
01:41:43,468 --> 01:41:47,338
being pushed because they're and
getting tap cards from L.A. City

2060
01:41:47,338 --> 01:41:50,368
and their cso's actually
pushing them to,

2061
01:41:50,368 --> 01:41:53,188
you know, to all these different
stations, including Monrovia

2062
01:41:53,188 --> 01:41:55,498
and even at Sousa.

2063
01:41:55,498 --> 01:41:58,768
And it's really
damaging, damaging.

2064
01:41:58,768 --> 01:42:02,633
Look, we got to go and help
these people, but they come in

2065
01:42:02,633 --> 01:42:06,298
and there's no way for
us to and force this,

2066
01:42:06,298 --> 01:42:08,428
we got to find some
ways to enforce.

2067
01:42:08,428 --> 01:42:12,208
Now, don't get me wrong
I love my public safety

2068
01:42:12,208 --> 01:42:13,720
and the deputies.

2069
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:17,038
You guys are doing a
fantasy tastic job,

2070
01:42:17,038 --> 01:42:21,298
but we got to find some way
to somehow maybe I don't know.

2071
01:42:21,298 --> 01:42:26,488
I'm just finding ways
to perhaps have a way

2072
01:42:26,488 --> 01:42:29,818
to manage to these people
from coming into our city

2073
01:42:29,818 --> 01:42:32,188
from the goal line All right.

2074
01:42:32,188 --> 01:42:34,288
The five minute mark
are we do you have

2075
01:42:34,288 --> 01:42:36,058
some final thoughts together?

2076
01:42:36,058 --> 01:42:39,062
All right No, I don't.

2077
01:42:39,062 --> 01:42:40,408
OK Thank you very much.

2078
01:42:40,408 --> 01:42:41,458
Okay.

2079
01:42:41,458 --> 01:42:42,478
I'll try to keep this brief.

2080
01:42:42,478 --> 01:42:45,418
I'm thank you very
much for helping.

2081
01:42:45,418 --> 01:42:48,028
As I missed last meeting, I
should be cleared for the rest

2082
01:42:48,028 --> 01:42:51,148
of the calendar year to not
miss any more council meetings

2083
01:42:51,148 --> 01:42:54,268
But I would like to report
on what i have done.

2084
01:42:54,268 --> 01:42:58,258
I went to Assemblywoman Rubio's
young legislator ayers group

2085
01:42:58,258 --> 01:43:00,628
at the Glendora country Club.

2086
01:43:00,628 --> 01:43:03,658
I went to the sanitation meeting
with Councilmember finley.

2087
01:43:03,658 --> 01:43:05,788
I attended Doherty
High Schools Career Day

2088
01:43:05,788 --> 01:43:09,665
and presented as mayor
as well as you know,

2089
01:43:09,665 --> 01:43:12,628
reported about my personal
profession I attended

2090
01:43:12,628 --> 01:43:16,138
the ad hoc bucks, a
utility box meeting.

2091
01:43:16,138 --> 01:43:17,068
So I'm very excited.

2092
01:43:17,068 --> 01:43:18,988
I missed the last one, but
I intended the first one.

2093
01:43:18,988 --> 01:43:22,558
I'm looking very much forward
to seeing what comes before us

2094
01:43:22,558 --> 01:43:24,568
on behalf of
Councilmember Garcia,

2095
01:43:24,568 --> 01:43:26,098
I went to the hilo
Transit meeting.

2096
01:43:26,098 --> 01:43:27,028
That was the first one.

2097
01:43:27,028 --> 01:43:28,858
It was really nice
starting to get

2098
01:43:28,858 --> 01:43:32,128
to know a lot of our
local other mayors

2099
01:43:32,128 --> 01:43:34,018
and council members
from other cities

2100
01:43:34,018 --> 01:43:35,968
so it's really nice
to connect with them

2101
01:43:35,968 --> 01:43:38,908
and just be present as
representing to do what

2102
01:43:38,908 --> 01:43:42,808
we're representing to Wardy
I went to the 60 Sixers

2103
01:43:42,808 --> 01:43:43,708
opening day.

2104
01:43:43,708 --> 01:43:46,228
That's our senior
softball league

2105
01:43:46,228 --> 01:43:48,178
put on through the
daughters senior center.

2106
01:43:48,178 --> 01:43:50,638
I will have to say they were
playing the city of South

2107
01:43:50,638 --> 01:43:52,468
Pasadena That got
a bigger kick out

2108
01:43:52,468 --> 01:43:55,258
of our opening day ceremonies
than I even think our team did.

2109
01:43:55,258 --> 01:43:57,808
They pulled me aside and they
said no other city does this

2110
01:43:57,808 --> 01:44:01,318
for their senior communities
So my hat is off to just

2111
01:44:01,318 --> 01:44:04,408
our Parks and Rec department
for just a stellar job of making

2112
01:44:04,408 --> 01:44:06,538
everybody feel like they
are a big deal because they

2113
01:44:06,538 --> 01:44:12,178
are I went to the Autism event
that we had at the teen Center.

2114
01:44:12,178 --> 01:44:15,628
Again, I appreciate the city
for making sure that there's

2115
01:44:15,628 --> 01:44:18,058
a little something for
everybody And I enjoy just

2116
01:44:18,058 --> 01:44:19,639
watching those children thrive.

2117
01:44:19,639 --> 01:44:21,266
And the parents
feeling supported

2118
01:44:21,266 --> 01:44:24,808
and that their children
could just have a good time.

2119
01:44:24,808 --> 01:44:26,248
The egg hunt was amazing.

2120
01:44:26,248 --> 01:44:28,078
I got pulled over,
pulled over, actually

2121
01:44:28,078 --> 01:44:30,094
lost my friend's daughter
because I got pulled aside.

2122
01:44:30,094 --> 01:44:32,998
So much saying my kids are
teasing me every ten minutes

2123
01:44:32,998 --> 01:44:37,318
where Sophia But you know, the
whole security team was on it

2124
01:44:37,318 --> 01:44:40,348
right away We got her
located very quickly

2125
01:44:40,348 --> 01:44:42,298
But everyone was
pulling me aside

2126
01:44:42,298 --> 01:44:44,338
basically to say no other
city does it like this.

2127
01:44:44,338 --> 01:44:45,508
And if they do, they charge.

2128
01:44:45,508 --> 01:44:47,693
So again, I'm very grateful
that we have something

2129
01:44:47,693 --> 01:44:48,625
that everybody can attend.

2130
01:44:48,625 --> 01:44:49,557
And be part of.

2131
01:44:49,557 --> 01:44:51,898
Even if you're not
from dougherty,

2132
01:44:51,898 --> 01:44:54,778
I went to the chambers opening
of the young brother big city.

2133
01:44:54,778 --> 01:44:57,778
This is a gentleman who has
created a great program,

2134
01:44:57,778 --> 01:45:01,772
a mentor ship for youth,
where he's doing flag football

2135
01:45:01,772 --> 01:45:02,998
and things of that nature.

2136
01:45:02,998 --> 01:45:06,238
So he is going to be advertise
housing through the chamber as

2137
01:45:06,238 --> 01:45:07,168
well as his socials.

2138
01:45:07,168 --> 01:45:09,388
So everyone keep an
eye out for updates

2139
01:45:09,388 --> 01:45:12,748
on how to get your children
involved in flag football

2140
01:45:12,748 --> 01:45:16,228
after school programs
and then, you know,

2141
01:45:16,228 --> 01:45:18,718
today we had the
city of Hope tour

2142
01:45:18,718 --> 01:45:22,258
where we got to meet with the
new CEO and she was amazing.

2143
01:45:22,258 --> 01:45:24,928
And I'm just very grateful to
the whole city of Hope team

2144
01:45:24,928 --> 01:45:27,148
for opening the
communications and just

2145
01:45:27,148 --> 01:45:29,758
wanting to continue to grow
such a great relationship.

2146
01:45:29,758 --> 01:45:32,428
So i although I wasn't
here at the meeting,

2147
01:45:32,428 --> 01:45:35,647
I tried to make myself available
in every other way I could to be

2148
01:45:35,647 --> 01:45:37,057
seen and to represent our city.

2149
01:45:37,057 --> 01:45:40,828
Well I would like to adjourn
this meeting in memory

2150
01:45:40,828 --> 01:45:43,168
of our director, Christine
Peterson's grandmother,

2151
01:45:43,168 --> 01:45:46,858
Darlene Vernon Grandparents
are very special.

2152
01:45:46,858 --> 01:45:48,958
So just sending you
love and condolences.

2153
01:45:48,958 --> 01:45:53,020
And we are definitely going to
adjourn in her honor I imagine.

2154
01:45:53,020 --> 01:45:56,604
5:00 news Mayor loses friend's
daughter at Easter Hunt.

2155
01:45:56,604 --> 01:45:57,721
You know what?

2156
01:45:57,721 --> 01:46:00,188
It's what my kids bring
up every ten minutes.

2157
01:46:00,188 --> 01:46:00,688
Keep me.

2158
01:46:00,688 --> 01:46:02,038
I'm sorry, Sophia.

2159
01:46:02,038 --> 01:46:03,239
I'm sorry Sophia.

2160
01:46:03,239 --> 01:46:03,929

safe with her parents.

2162
01:46:05,938 --> 01:46:11,235
Now on that note, I'm adjourning
Have a good evening, everybody.

2163
01:46:11,235 --> 01:46:14,968
All right all day, my kids

01:46:14,968 --> 01:46:28,358
We're here It's How

2165
01:46:28,358 --> 01:46:28,858
