00:16:59,474 --> 00:17:03,374 that everybody I talked to is excited about that And actually, 265 00:17:03,374 --> 00:17:06,674 some of their some of their staff came in saying, 266 00:17:06,674 --> 00:17:07,484 okay, you have Craig. 267 00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:08,446 But I think the city. 268 00:17:08,446 --> 00:17:10,844 I hope people want to know about why are to see as soon as they 269 00:17:10,844 --> 00:17:13,334 heard that oh look at that here if you just 270 00:17:13,334 --> 00:17:14,801 do for like ten more seconds. 271 00:17:14,801 --> 00:17:16,936 I'll just get through what I was going to say. 272 00:17:16,936 --> 00:17:22,484 And a the opening day is to be October 21st this year. 273 00:17:22,484 --> 00:17:25,094 So that should be exciting. 274 00:17:25,094 --> 00:17:27,554 You guys have a new lunch options? 275 00:17:27,554 --> 00:17:30,167 That's right Options for lots of things 276 00:17:30,167 --> 00:17:33,164 And that's been one of those a local project 277 00:17:33,164 --> 00:17:35,144 that's worked perfectly all the way through. 278 00:17:35,144 --> 00:17:37,394 So I assume is can be perfect as we go into the future. 279 00:17:37,394 --> 00:17:39,554 Just went through the process. 280 00:17:39,554 --> 00:17:44,118 So quickly and they move super quickly So it's really great. 281 00:17:44,118 --> 00:17:48,314 And it'll be a nice addition at some point 282 00:17:48,314 --> 00:17:52,978 I have a via two story from today Five years ago. 283 00:17:52,978 --> 00:17:56,804 I'll tell you some other time, the development and Gordie 284 00:17:56,804 --> 00:17:59,714 school crystal townhomes that's moving forward 285 00:17:59,714 --> 00:18:01,094 I don't know if you've been out there. 286 00:18:01,094 --> 00:18:03,344 Some of you clearly have been out there because your nearby 287 00:18:03,344 --> 00:18:06,254 but there's demo going on right now. 288 00:18:06,254 --> 00:18:09,074 So that project has started and a demo in the park 289 00:18:09,074 --> 00:18:12,554 will begin soon So it's about an 18 to 24 290 00:18:12,554 --> 00:18:14,984 month construction in time for that. 291 00:18:14,984 --> 00:18:18,464 And I think things are going really positive on that. 292 00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:22,004 So we feel good about that One of the things that's going on 293 00:18:22,004 --> 00:18:24,644 is a while ago, we came to the council 294 00:18:24,644 --> 00:18:28,274 to hire a consultant to assist us with meeting the state 295 00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:31,844 requirements for the sB 79 issue, 296 00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:37,304 SB 79 was a state law that passed that requires cities 297 00:18:37,304 --> 00:18:41,954 to zoned significantly up zone in terms of density permitted 298 00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:45,374 near transit stops and in our case, 299 00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:48,554 the Alliance station in this particular look 300 00:18:48,554 --> 00:18:51,404 at this particular location to within a half mile 301 00:18:51,404 --> 00:18:52,924 quarter mile of that rather. 302 00:18:52,924 --> 00:18:53,424 So. 303 00:18:53,424 --> 00:18:55,135 So the First step in that is we're 304 00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:57,134 going to be having a meeting with the owners 305 00:18:57,134 --> 00:18:58,425 that are directly impacted. 306 00:18:58,425 --> 00:19:00,434 That's going to be next Monday night 307 00:19:00,434 --> 00:19:03,074 There will be other public meetings for others also, 308 00:19:03,074 --> 00:19:04,874 and that will end up going to the planning commission. 309 00:19:04,874 --> 00:19:06,781 And I'll come to you, the city Council, 310 00:19:06,781 --> 00:19:07,814 but that's occurring next week. 311 00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:11,114 So we've invited all those that are directly impacted where 312 00:19:11,114 --> 00:19:12,794 their property is directly impacted in 313 00:19:12,794 --> 00:19:16,299 and will be resumed in some way. 314 00:19:16,299 --> 00:19:18,236 And there'll be some pretty significant change 315 00:19:18,236 --> 00:19:22,244 to those properties Things are moving positive on the town 316 00:19:22,244 --> 00:19:24,494 center north and the sky zone. 317 00:19:24,494 --> 00:19:28,000 Use probably slower than we would like if you'd like to see 318 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,867 it happen, really quickly. 319 00:19:28,867 --> 00:19:31,767 But there were some really complex things going on there. 320 00:19:31,767 --> 00:19:33,434 They have some structural issues with the building 321 00:19:33,434 --> 00:19:34,844 that they're going to need to fix, 322 00:19:34,844 --> 00:19:39,224 but they've moved really quickly through the plan check process 323 00:19:39,224 --> 00:19:42,134 and they're working out some deals with the underlying owner. 324 00:19:42,134 --> 00:19:43,697 But things are still going positive, 325 00:19:43,697 --> 00:19:50,705 just moving slower than we would like Dave And coffee. 326 00:19:50,705 --> 00:19:53,324 I know, that's a business that we opening soon. 327 00:19:53,324 --> 00:19:55,214 I don't know exactly when that will be, 328 00:19:55,214 --> 00:19:57,254 but they just recently pulled permits 329 00:19:57,254 --> 00:19:59,504 and are going to be doing their tenant improvements. 330 00:19:59,504 --> 00:20:00,674 I learned something new today. 331 00:20:00,674 --> 00:20:03,614 Dive in in Vietnamese means ice cubes. 332 00:20:03,614 --> 00:20:06,074 I believe that's actually the cubes, not the entertainer. 333 00:20:06,074 --> 00:20:11,984 But it'll be another coffee option in the city Maybe 334 00:20:11,984 --> 00:20:13,214 somebody can translate that for us. 335 00:20:13,214 --> 00:20:14,534 I don't know. 336 00:20:14,534 --> 00:20:19,904 Is ice cubes as part of my duties as your city attorney? 337 00:20:19,904 --> 00:20:23,354 I can translate in Vietnamese It does, in fact, 338 00:20:23,354 --> 00:20:25,934 mean Ice Cube There you go. 339 00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:28,064 I don't think I'm going to qualify for bilingual pay 340 00:20:28,064 --> 00:20:28,979 because of that. 341 00:20:28,979 --> 00:20:33,134 But it's a start At least I don't want 342 00:20:33,134 --> 00:20:35,324 to spoil that because there should be some information later 343 00:20:35,324 --> 00:20:36,224 about the recreation trail. 344 00:20:36,224 --> 00:20:40,154 But The Donald and Bernie's watching recreation trail work 345 00:20:40,154 --> 00:20:41,954 is going on in that making some pretty 346 00:20:41,954 --> 00:20:46,544 good progress The balance of the trail was paved just recently. 347 00:20:46,544 --> 00:20:48,814 And there's some touch up here and there, 348 00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:50,385 But it's pretty much all paved. 349 00:20:50,385 --> 00:20:53,564 So things are going positive on that. 350 00:20:53,564 --> 00:20:56,504 And then we'll traffic signal a kind 351 00:20:56,504 --> 00:20:58,001 of told you all the way along that that this 352 00:20:58,001 --> 00:20:58,934 is what was going to happen. 353 00:20:58,934 --> 00:21:01,287 But you can drive by it. 354 00:21:01,287 --> 00:21:02,058 It's up. 355 00:21:02,058 --> 00:21:04,544 But we're waiting on the power of the pedestal 356 00:21:04,544 --> 00:21:10,814 so we're thinking just remember that when we to buy 357 00:21:10,814 --> 00:21:12,734 the next time I give you an update that should 358 00:21:12,734 --> 00:21:15,644 be operational Any questions? 359 00:21:15,644 --> 00:21:16,266 Go ahead. 360 00:21:16,266 --> 00:21:16,933 Councilmember Grant. 361 00:21:16,933 --> 00:21:17,624 Thank

--> 00:21:27,554 mostly strictly inside the outside 365 00:21:27,554 --> 00:21:29,640 is going to be painted and freshened up, 366 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,116 but there's not any significant changes to the outside. 367 00:21:32,116 --> 00:21:32,616 OK. 368 00:21:32,616 --> 00:21:34,814 And then the building that she was in pretty good shape. 369 00:21:34,814 --> 00:21:37,454 I mean, I didn't not

thought, we're almost done with that. 401 00:22:55,964 --> 00:22:59,628 It's going to be a signal So that's terrific. 402 00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:01,934 Thanks for making that happen. 403 00:23:01,934 --> 00:23:08,714 And the bike trail did anybody was was anybody sad to see 404 00:23:08,714 --> 00:23:14,924 the stock of corn taken out I walk it every day Did 405 00:23:14,924 --> 00:23:18,554 anybody see the stock of corn Somebody 406 00:23:18,554 --> 00:23:21,014 had propped it up with rocks. 407 00:23:21,014 --> 00:23:25,514 And I thought this thing's going to actually grow here 408 00:23:25,514 --> 00:23:26,924 And it was gone. 409 00:23:26,924 --> 00:23:28,244 So it made me a little sad. 410 00:23:28,244 --> 00:23:30,384 But hey, those things happen. 411 00:23:30,384 --> 00:23:32,451 It looks so good. 412 00:23:32,451 --> 00:23:36,524 Now I did have someone when I was out walking on the trail 413 00:23:36,524 --> 00:23:40,665 today He said he was a little bit concerned because, you know 414 00:23:40,665 --> 00:23:43,454 you have those great areas for seeding 415 00:23:43,454 --> 00:23:49,076 He said We just have to be careful that for families. 416 00:23:49,076 --> 00:23:51,344 And I guess specifically, you know, 417 00:23:51,344 --> 00:23:55,724 families with kids, if they kind of park it there and start 418 00:23:55,724 --> 00:24:00,704 picnicking, the kids running along on the bike path you know, 419 00:24:00,704 --> 00:24:02,894 just kind of playing, running back and forth. 420 00:24:02,894 --> 00:24:04,717 So it just a thought. 421 00:24:04,717 --> 00:24:10,634 Just a thought If we, you know, I'm always 422 00:24:10,634 --> 00:24:11,834 thinking risk management. 423 00:24:11,834 --> 00:24:14,073 So anyway. 424 00:24:14,073 --> 00:24:15,480 But it looks so good. 425 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:23,864 Looks so good Anybody else does that mean 426 00:24:23,864 --> 00:24:26,474 we don't have to go back to ICAC every year, 427 00:24:26,474 --> 00:24:29,774 maybe every other year Well, I don't know. 428 00:24:29,774 --> 00:24:32,684 But I will say that there are some other there's 429 00:24:32,684 --> 00:24:35,174 other properties in town that need 430 00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:38,204 some help Yeah, The former Nissan site is one of them. 431 00:24:38,204 --> 00:24:40,914 And so we'll be going again. 432 00:24:40,914

00:24:47,744 --> 00:24:50,054 before you know next year. 436 00:24:50,054 --> 00:24:53,744 But i don't I don't like all these years that we've been 437 00:24:53,744 --> 00:24:56,324 going for the past i think what three years has been now 438 00:24:56,324 --> 00:24:59,444 and the progress that we've made for from, from actually 439 00:24:59,444 --> 00:25:03,074 attending and sitting down, meet with

it done You guys are definitely a good duo. 443 00:25:10,664 --> 00:25:12,644 It's tough, believe it or not. 444 00:25:12,644 --> 00:25:17,234 The location is in a place really You enjoy going to. 445 00:25:17,234 --> 00:25:19,001 You would think you do, but it's not fun 446 00:25:19,001 --> 00:25:19,934 when you have to go to work. 447 00:25:19,934 --> 00:25:23,264 There All right. 448

00:25:32,374 with a cornfield or something so you don't 451 00:25:32,374 --> 00:25:33,374 have to be sad about a garden. 452 00:25:33,374 --> 00:25:34,604 Thank you so much. 453 00:25:34,604 --> 00:25:35,984 There will be a butterfly garden. 454 00:25:35,984 --> 00:25:38,497 We did not think about the butterfly I don't think 455 00:25:38,497 --> 00:25:39,464 there'll be corn in the book. 456 00:25:39,464 --> 00:25:41,204 I don't think corn is a butterfly friendly. 457 00:25:41,204 --> 00:25:43,694 But I've heard nothing but amazing feedback 458 00:25:43,694 --> 00:25:46,353 from everybody that's messaged me or mentioned it. 459 00:25:46,353 --> 00:25:47,423 So it's exciting. 460 00:25:47,423 --> 00:25:52,034 I'm going down to see Grace next week and taking pictures for her 461 00:25:52,034 --> 00:25:55,447 because she calls me every couple of weeks and says, 462 00:25:55,447 --> 00:25:57,184 How's it looking now? 463 00:25:57,184 --> 00:26:01,461 So it's looking amazing And I keep telling her All right, Item 464 00:26:01,461 --> 00:26:03,134 D, Parks and recreation Department 465 00:26:03,134 --> 00:26:09,524 Update from Director Manuel Henriquez Good evening, Mayor. 466

we hope folks that are going out to the parade 499 00:28:00,344 --> 00:28:02,414 will then make their way down to Central 500 00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:04,874 and be able to join us for the festivities. 501 00:28:04,874 --> 00:28:08,474 There We'll also have our annual floating pumpkin 502 00:28:08,474 --> 00:28:11,924 patch that will take place on Saturday, October Third. 503 00:28:11,924 -->

and then that will conclude and finish 506 00:28:23,024 --> 00:28:28,364 out our full season as we'll be transitioning to our closure 507 00:28:28,364 --> 00:28:32,294 that will take place on October 4th and we'll go 508 00:28:32,294 --> 00:28:35,084 all the way through and we'll be open 509 00:28:35,084 --> 00:28:37,786 on the 1st of February in 27. 510 00:28:37,786 --> 00:28:41,234 So just a reminder to you and the general public, 511 00:28:41,234 --> 00:28:44,174 the pool will be closed starting October 4th. 512 00:28:44,174 --> 00:28:49,574 Can lastly I'll share that we have our first ever 513 00:28:49,574 --> 00:28:52,304 Bart Tobar fest That will be the same day 514 00:28:52,304 --> 00:28:54,524 as our community yard sale. 515 00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:58,154 But it will take place at 4 p.m., 4 to 6 516 00:28:58,154 --> 00:29:00,884 over at zero past Croce Park. 517 00:29:00,884 --> 00:29:05,054 We'll have some dog costume contests 518 00:29:05,054 --> 00:29:10,094 the staff are planning to have some local vendors there. 519 00:29:10,094 --> 00:29:11,234 We'll have a beer garden. 520 00:29:11,234 --> 00:29:13,364 It'll be a grand old time. 521 00:29:13,364 --> 00:29:14,954 So we invite you and the community 522 00:29:14,954 --> 00:29:22,664 to come out and join us for that Yes I know we had all known 523 00:29:22,664 --> 00:29:26,174 that we had to close the pool for a period of time 524 00:29:26,174 --> 00:29:31,634 because if you don't keep it up and ultimately, then we 525 00:29:31,634 --> 00:29:36,314 have the big bill that will come due. 526 00:29:36,314 --> 00:29:39,674 So it's kind of like pay me now or pay me later every year 527 00:29:39,674 --> 00:29:43,074 will be this length of time. 528 00:29:43,074 --> 00:29:47,399 Or are you thinking it will be more 2 2 3 months? 529 00:29:47,399 --> 00:29:52,934 So right now we've slated it based off of the expanded tours 530 00:29:52,934 --> 00:29:56,444 and the revenue that were in the low revenue that we were seen 531 00:29:56,444 --> 00:29:58,244 And so that's why I staff recommended 532 00:29:58,244 --> 00:30:03,164 from these specific four months starting in October 533 00:30:03,164 --> 00:30:06,734 we see less when registration, we see less people coming out 534 00:30:06,734 --> 00:30:09,374 to do lap swim As we get into the colder 535 00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:12,974 season and the infrastructure that we have, 536 00:30:12,974 --> 00:30:16,844 our heaters and whatnot our utility bills 537 00:30:16,844 --> 00:30:18,704 are pretty pretty up there. 538 00:30:18,704 --> 00:30:25,184 And so to kind of not even break even, but to kind of at least 539 00:30:25,184 --> 00:30:27,554 be mindful of our public resources 540 00:30:27,554 --> 00:30:30,584 That's why staff has recommended that for four month closure. 541 00:30:30,584 --> 00:30:35,654 So we wouldn't we won't know specifically I mean, who's 542 00:30:35,654 --> 00:30:40,904 to say that we don't capture some grant funding from now 543 00:30:40,904 --> 00:30:45,344 until next October where we could potentially then say, 544 00:30:45,344 --> 00:30:48,794 you know, we have secured the funding necessary to complete 545 00:30:48,794 --> 00:30:51,584 that capital project and then from there, it 546 00:30:51,584 --> 00:30:56,414 would be about a 12 month closure to redo that space 547 00:30:56,414 --> 00:31:00,584 And does this mean then that you're 548 00:31:00,584 --> 00:31:03,284 opening in time for the swim team, for the high school? 549 00:31:03,284 --> 00:31:04,664 Is that what that's kind of. 550 00:31:04,664 --> 00:31:09,104 That's correct So we worked with this school administration, 551 00:31:09,104 --> 00:31:16,666 the skaggs Sperry, Skaggs, so that we could kind of identify 552 00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:19,574 no when exactly that swim team program 553 00:31:19,574 --> 00:31:21,134 would need access to the pool. 554 00:31:21,134 --> 00:31:25,964 And so I'm will bring forward that user 555 00:31:25,964 --> 00:31:28,694 agreement to you so that you can improve 556 00:31:28,694 --> 00:31:30,721 when they get into that pool. 557 00:31:30,721 --> 00:31:33,388 And we kind of timed it that way. 558 00:31:33,388 --> 00:31:37,304 They're also talking, obviously El Niño, this year. 559 00:31:37,304 --> 00:31:41,414 Will that impact any anything like different 560 00:31:41,414 --> 00:31:47,823 drains on the pool property or are we are we set for that when 561 00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:50,834 you more clarification waiting by different 562 00:31:50,834 --> 00:31:55,761 get if we get six inches of rain will. 563 00:31:55,761 --> 00:31:58,562 So be under our maintenance contract. 564 00:31:58,562 --> 00:32:01,034 So our pool techs will be coming out 565 00:32:01,034 --> 00:32:03,344 and they'll still be servicing the pool. 566 00:32:03,344 --> 00:32:05,405 We obviously won't have it as frequent 567 00:32:05,405 --> 00:32:07,546 as we do once when we're open. 568 00:32:07,546 --> 00:32:10,064 But they will certainly be coming out and still keeping 569 00:32:10,064 --> 00:32:12,748 staff abreast of anything that we need to change 570 00:32:12,748 --> 00:32:13,902 or and whatnot. 571 00:32:13,902 --> 00:32:14,479 OK. 572 00:32:14,479 --> 00:32:15,344 Thank you. 573 00:32:15,344 --> 00:32:16,100 You. 574 00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:16,884 Thank you. 575 00:32:16,884 --> 00:32:17,384 You. 576 00:32:17,384 --> 00:32:20,054 Any other questions? 577 00:32:20,054 --> 00:32:22,394 Thank you very much Now we're going 578 00:32:22,394 --> 00:32:25,454 to do

community garden You would think I know you there. 938 00:49:06,915 --> 00:49:13,424 We go Before I bring up our special guests just to give you 939 00:49:13,424 --> 00:49:20,114 some background on July 26th 2025, 940 00:49:20,114 --> 00:49:24,974 the Council officially opened to awardees First Community Garden 941 00:49:24,974 --> 00:49:27,824 at zero Parks, Karachi Park. 942 00:49:27,824 --> 00:49:31,334 The funds that we captured for this project 943 00:49:31,334 --> 00:49:35,308 were in partnership with food, education, and discovery, also 944 00:49:35,308 --> 00:49:38,924 known as Food ed, and that was under tract 945 00:49:38,924 --> 00:49:43,214 two of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. 946 00:49:43,214 --> 00:49:46,244 The majority of the funds of that about 947 00:49:46,244 --> 00:49:50,234 149,000 was able to flip the bill 948 00:49:50,234 --> 00:49:52,634 for the project's construction. 949 00:49:52,634 --> 00:49:57,794 The infrastructure and equipment with the caveat there that I did 950 00:49:57,794 --> 00:50:02,226 come back to the council and ask for at the time of the approval. 951 00:50:02,226 --> 00:50:03,582 I did ask for 10,000. 952 00:50:03,582 --> 00:50:08,804 So that we could enhance the perimeter fencing 953 00:50:08,804 --> 00:50:12,194 for the project as when we originally 954 00:50:12,194 --> 00:50:14,714 wrote for the grant in comparison 955 00:50:14,714 --> 00:50:18,494 to when we went out to kind of get cost estimates, 956 00:50:18,494 --> 00:50:20,804 there was a little bit of escalation in the fee. 957 00:50:20,804 --> 00:50:22,694 So the council approved that. 958 00:50:22,694 --> 00:50:25,034 But for the majority of the project 959 00:50:25,034 --> 00:50:28,184 and it's one year in operation and then that includes 960 00:50:28,184 --> 00:50:29,984 the administration and management, 961 00:50:29,984 --> 00:50:32,354 the community engagement and education 962 00:50:32,354 --> 00:50:39,314 that was all funded through these grant dollars 963 00:50:39,314 --> 00:50:44,287 just a little bit of highlights for this One year of growing. 964 00:50:44,287 --> 00:50:48,554 We I'll remind you that we have 22 private garden plots. 965 00:50:48,554 --> 00:50:56,414 So that's 20 to residents that hope that that host site or host 966 00:50:56,414 --> 00:51:00,734 a plot and are allocated to their plot and food 967 00:51:00,734 --> 00:51:04,304 ad and their team help administer that whole process 968 00:51:04,304 --> 00:51:05,924 that application process. 969 00:51:05,924 --> 00:51:09,014 City staff was involved at the early onset 970 00:51:09,014 --> 00:51:11,984 to kind of determine based off of the commissioners 971 00:51:11,984 --> 00:51:16,987 and council's direction, kind of determined that the criteria. 972 00:51:16,987 --> 00:51:19,904 So we got all 22 plots filled, 20 973 00:51:19,904 --> 00:51:26,684 of those actually of those 22, two of those are 88 compliant. 974 00:51:26,684 --> 00:51:30,284 Sorry rounding the garden, we have 12 community plots 975 00:51:30,284 --> 00:51:32,894 and those are kind of first come first 976 00:51:32,894 --> 00:51:36,469 serve the team of food ad and volunteer 977 00:51:36,469 --> 00:51:39,674 was kind of ensure that those are thriving 978 00:51:39,674 --> 00:51:43,424 and adjust those accordingly throughout the year. 979 00:51:43,424 --> 00:51:46,522 And so we had a lot of zucchini growing on One 980 00:51:46,522 --> 00:51:52,364 and asking folks to come by and grab as they see fit 981 00:51:52,364 --> 00:51:55,484 So those are also part of their purview 982 00:51:55,484 --> 00:51:58,484 of the existing grant scope. 983 00:51:58,484 --> 00:52:02,086 Also throughout this first year, they were able to secure 984 00:52:02,086 --> 00:52:03,619 Hundreds community volunteers. 985 00:52:03,619 --> 00:52:08,024 So we had various workshops or various volunteer days, 986 00:52:08,024 --> 00:52:09,974 rather just right there. 987 00:52:09,974 --> 00:52:13,994 You see, I think that was our first volunteer 988 00:52:13,994 --> 00:52:18,434 day where we were actually building the garden beds. 989 00:52:18,434 --> 00:52:21,014 And so you see some of the team and the members 990 00:52:21,014 --> 00:52:25,904 that were present for that specifically a little more, 991 00:52:25,904 --> 00:52:30,434 some additional highlights They hosted five community workshops 992 00:52:30,434 --> 00:52:37,664 with about over 200 attendees in combination of those five 993 00:52:37,664 --> 00:52:39,644 and throughout those workshops or when 994 00:52:39,644 --> 00:52:41,744 they were present at other events, 995 00:52:41,744 --> 00:52:46,424 they gave out 500 plus plants and then 996 00:52:46,424 --> 00:52:51,104 also our did our digital footprint You see there that 997 00:52:51,104 --> 00:52:56,114 in terms of our gardens website and the content that's created 998 00:52:56,114 --> 00:52:59,744 specifically for the garden, that's all that, that's all them 999 00:52:59,744 --> 00:53:04,379 coming with those ideas, those videos that some of you. 1000 00:53:04,379 --> 00:53:06,794 So graciously repost because there's 1001 00:53:06,794 --> 00:53:10,004 a lot of wealthy information that's shared 1002 00:53:10,004 --> 00:53:10,994 through the food ed team. 1003 00:53:10,994 --> 00:53:16,184 So that's kind of a snapshot of what we 1004 00:53:16,184 --> 00:53:18,824 did this first year of growing. 1005 00:53:18,824 --> 00:53:21,764 So as we kind of now have are coming 1006 00:53:21,764 --> 00:53:27,135 to the conclusion of this grant cycle these were one time funds. 1007 00:53:27,135 --> 00:53:32,114 So now anything after this, the city is on the hook 1008 00:53:32,114 --> 00:53:35,834 for so as we come to the end city staff 1009 00:53:35,834 --> 00:53:38,834 did work with the commission to kind of go through some 1010 00:53:38,834 --> 00:53:44,864 of the service models that food ad should provide the city 1011 00:53:44,864 --> 00:53:46,784 And at the recommendation of the commission 1012 00:53:46,784 --> 00:53:49,124 and they are recommending to essentially 1013 00:53:49,124 --> 00:53:51,344 kind of keep a status quo. 1014 00:53:51,344 --> 00:53:54,614 There will be a slight reduction in the number of community 1015 00:53:54,614 --> 00:53:57,194 workshops that are going to be offered if the council 1016 00:53:57,194 --> 00:53:58,844 approves this agreement. 1017 00:53:58,844 --> 00:54:02,594 So whereas we hosted five this first grant year, 1018 00:54:02,594 --> 00:54:04,334 it will jump down to four. 1019 00:54:04,334 --> 00:54:07,521 So not too bad, but on the flip side. 1020 00:54:07,521 --> 00:54:10,514 And we get them at to community events. 1021 00:54:10,514 --> 00:54:14,954 So we had them come out for one community event 1022 00:54:14,954 --> 00:54:19,004 this past cycle and that wasn't a small additional expense 1023 00:54:19,004 --> 00:54:22,484 to the city, but staff felt it was well worth it. 1024 00:54:22,484 --> 00:54:27,104 So within this contra act for the new growing year, 1025 00:54:27,104 --> 00:54:30,704 it's proposed that they attend two of those community events 1026 00:54:30,704 --> 00:54:33,384 at staff's direction And also, there 1027 00:54:33,384 --> 00:54:37,664 will be some additional digital content that would be created. 1028 00:54:37,664 --> 00:54:41,684 So anticipation for this grant cycle coming to an end. 1029 00:54:41,684 --> 00:54:47,774 Staff did put in the budget a a certain amount 1030 00:54:47,774 --> 00:54:50,594 There's been some a slight uptick 1031 00:54:50,594 --> 00:54:53,444 in terms of the service level. 1032 00:54:53,444 --> 00:54:58,634 And so with that staff is going to recommend that our staff is 1033 00:54:58,634 --> 00:55:03,194 recommending that we renew our contract with food ed 1034 00:55:03,194 --> 00:55:07,671 in the amount of 25,000 and the Budget Adjustment or budget 1035 00:55:07,671 --> 00:55:14,624 amendment rather from the general fund of $4,000 before I 1036 00:55:14,624 --> 00:55:18,284 turn it over to see if you have any questions you wouldn't mind. 1037 00:55:18,284 --> 00:55:21,104 I would like to invite Kristin Rizal 1038 00:55:21,104 --> 00:55:26,414 and then go live up here to kind of share anything 1039 00:55:26,414 --> 00:55:29,594 that they'd like to maybe highlight that I didn't capture 1040 00:55:29,594 --> 00:55:38,714 within the slides Hello So Madam Mayor and Council and City 1041 00:55:38,714 --> 00:55:41,594 administrator john, it's nice to be

people 1052 00:56:07,604 --> 00:56:10,064 varieties, but nothing that would alert 1053 00:56:10,064 --> 00:56:11,417 us to any kind of trouble. 1054 00:56:11,417 --> 00:56:14,174 So it's been really lovely to just be part of the city. 1055 00:56:14,174 --> 00:56:16,634 This community, we have a great garden 1056 00:56:16,634 --> 00:56:20,334 leadership team and just some of our favorite success

favorite places 1060 00:56:25,034 --> 00:56:25,844 to be right now. 1061 00:56:25,844 --> 00:56:28,004 There is a woman and her partner saying that and her partner 1062 00:56:28,004 --> 00:56:32,174

Councilmember John, 1096 00:57:50,804 --> 00:57:54,164 I just want to say I think Community Garden was something 1097 00:57:54,164 --> 00:57:57,734 that our residents had talked about for many, many, many 1098 00:57:57,734 --> 00:57:58,724 years. 1099 00:57:58,724 --> 00:58:01,814 I just want to personally thank the mayor as soon 1100 00:58:01,814 --> 00:58:05,384 as he was as soon as she got acclimated Also, 1101 00:58:05,384 --> 00:58:10,028 the council worked with Manual and got that grant 1102 00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:12,168 and here we are now one year later, 1103 00:58:12,168 --> 00:58:17,144 and thank thank you to the both of you for making it happen. 1104 00:58:17,144 --> 00:58:19,814 I drive by that garden every day, 1105 00:58:19,814 --> 00:58:22,514 dropping my kids off at school and I'm 1106 00:58:22,514 --> 00:58:25,664 assuming it's your garden leaders that are there 1107 00:58:25,664 --> 00:58:27,524 maintaining making sure everything 1108 00:58:27,524 --> 00:58:35,045 is tidy and making sure nobody misuses any of that area. 1109 00:58:35,045 --> 00:58:39,704 And I it looks like better than it did the first day 1110 00:58:39,704 --> 00:58:42,344 because there's a lot of plants and veggies 1111 00:58:42,344 --> 00:58:44,629 and everything that's growing and it's just 1112 00:58:44,629 --> 00:58:47,504 a testament of something that the community has asked 1113 00:58:47,504 --> 00:58:50,504 for a very long time that we were able to provide 1114 00:58:50,504 --> 00:58:53,594 and as soon as we got that and it's 1115 00:58:53,594 --> 00:58:55,733 refreshing to hear all these good feedback 1116 00:58:55,733 --> 00:58:56,881 from the community. 1117 00:58:56,881 --> 00:58:59,264 And again, thank you to the Mayor manual 1118 00:58:59,264 -->

00:59:14,234 This is one of my favorite partnerships 1125 00:59:14,234 --> 00:59:17,024 that we have in the city of out there. 1126 00:59:17,024 --> 00:59:21,284 Because of your passion and for what you do truly shows. 1127 00:59:21,284 --> 00:59:25,694 Jill, your knowledge of bugs and the fruits and vegetables. 1128 00:59:25,694 --> 00:59:26,474 Amazing to me. 1129 00:59:26,474 --> 00:59:27,146 It's always an hour. 1130 00:59:27,146 --> 00:59:32,834 So we're looking forward to getting another golden Naomi Um, 1131 00:59:32,834 --> 00:59:34,394 but I did have a question. 1132 00:59:34,394 --> 00:59:38,092 Fruit trees I know, we had an issue with those. 1133 00:59:38,092 --> 00:59:40,124 Are we looking into getting some back this year? 1134 00:59:40,124 --> 00:59:41,264 Perhaps. 1135 00:59:41,264 --> 00:59:42,944 Is that included in the budget? 1136 00:59:42,944 --> 00:59:45,464 Is this just the management of the. 1137 00:59:45,464 --> 00:59:50,864 So the food item was kind enough to replace those trees. 1138 00:59:50,864 --> 00:59:53,714 And so there are those trees have already 1139 00:59:53,714 --> 00:59:58,373 been planted in terms of what fruit 1140 00:59:58,373 --> 01:00:00,528 they're producing in and so forth. 1141 01:00:00,528 --> 01:00:04,484 I'll defer to nGO, but they were kind enough 1142 01:00:04,484 --> 01:00:08,414 to that's just speaks to the level of service 1143 01:00:08,414 --> 01:00:10,334 that they provide. 1144 01:00:10,334 --> 01:00:18,412 So i'll let you kind of was it a it's a Peachtree was replaced. 1145 01:00:18,412 --> 01:00:20,894 And right now the trees were all pruned 1146 01:00:20,894 --> 01:00:22,814 at a tree pruning workshop. 1147 01:00:22,814 --> 01:00:25,424 So those trees will start bearing fruit. 1148 01:00:25,424 --> 01:00:26,714 This next year. 1149 01:00:26,714 --> 01:00:28,694 Oh I'm sorry. 1150 01:00:28,694 --> 01:00:30,146 Maybe OK. 1151 01:00:30,146 --> 01:00:32,018 They're a little bit smaller, but they 1152 01:00:32,018 --> 01:00:34,334 were pruned for education their educational trees. 1153 01:00:34,334 --> 01:00:37,964 And so what we're hoping to see is the start of fruit. 1154 01:00:37,964 --> 01:00:39,404 But don't go picking yet. 1155 01:00:39,404 --> 01:00:41,597 Everybody is a little bit more time for the. 1156 01:00:41,597 --> 01:00:43,064 I'm looking forward to start singing. 1157 01:00:43,064 --> 01:00:47,051 I get my peaches down and blunt and thank Yeah Yeah I like that. 1158 01:00:47,051 --> 01:00:54,704 Or I councilmember Finley thank you that truly is one 1159 01:00:54,704 --> 01:00:56,504 of our big success is here and awardee 1160 01:00:56,504 --> 01:00:59,564 and we have a lot of Parks and rec success cities. 1161 01:00:59,564 --> 01:01:04,544 But this is one that I think it's so evident people driving 1162 01:01:04,544 --> 01:01:09,434 by that area and do you have any of the kids 1163 01:01:09,434 --> 01:01:14,084 from the elementary school at Royal Oaks, have they started? 1164 01:01:14,084 --> 01:01:18,944 They go there and maybe there's a class that takes the time 1165 01:01:18,944 --> 01:01:20,234 to walk down there because I just 1166 01:01:20,234 --> 01:01:25,424 think it's really such a beautiful, beautiful area Yeah. 1167 01:01:25,424 --> 01:01:27,584 I mean, we're always open to having visitors 1168 01:01:27,584 --> 01:01:29,504 And if a teacher reaches out to us, 1169 01:01:29,504 --> 01:01:31,544 I know that there's always hiccups 1170 01:01:31,544 --> 01:01:33,794 with field trips and funding and that kind of stuff. 1171 01:01:33,794 --> 01:01:36,494 So we can help facilitate that. 1172 01:01:36,494 --> 01:01:38,384 If they can get the kids there. 1173 01:01:38,384 --> 01:01:41,144 But unfortunately, we don't have the funding 1174 01:01:41,144 --> 01:01:42,314 to like get the kids there. 1175 01:01:42,314 --> 01:01:44,084 But if they were to walk down or those kinds 1176 01:01:44,084 --> 01:01:46,454 of things, of course, we could completely set that up. 1177 01:01:46,454 --> 01:01:48,164 And we've done that at other community gardens 1178 01:01:48,164 --> 01:01:51,464 with other teachers and classes So we would just need a contact 1179 01:01:51,464 --> 01:01:55,394 and happy to reach out and see if they wanted to come Okay. 1180 01:01:55,394 --> 01:01:58,004 And I'll I've got a contact at Royal Oaks 1181 01:01:58,004 --> 01:02:00,374 there that we can give to you because I 1182 01:02:00,374 --> 01:02:03,534 think that it would just be such a benefit to those kids. 1183 01:02:03,534 --> 01:02:04,034 Yeah. 1184 01:02:04,034 --> 01:02:08,954 To be able to see, frankly and just some thing 1185 01:02:08,954 --> 01:02:13,304 that the community said, we want it. 1186 01:02:13,304 --> 01:02:15,014 And it's put together. 1187 01:02:15,014 --> 01:02:16,416 So thank you very much. 1188 01:02:16,416 --> 01:02:19,484 Yeah, of course, that's I think that's a really good idea 1189 01:02:19,484 --> 01:02:21,704 with the classes, the way Royal Oaks does it, 1190 01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:24,224 each class earns their own money for their field trips. 1191 01:02:24,224 --> 01:02:26,114 So towards the that the year some of the grades 1192 01:02:26,114 --> 01:02:28,964 start scrambling or if maybe we had something 1193 01:02:28,964 --> 01:02:30,914 a package of some sort available to them of what 1194 01:02:30,914 --> 01:02:33,314 the cost would be to bring one of your experts out 1195 01:02:33,314 --> 01:02:34,289 to interact with them. 1196 01:02:34,289 --> 01:02:35,234 We can offer that to them. 1197 01:02:35,234 --> 01:02:37,067 Like, hey, if you guys are struggling to get your buses 1198 01:02:37,067 --> 01:02:39,831 and get your stuff like little walk and talk, 1199 01:02:39,831 --> 01:02:40,798 that might be something nice. 1200 01:02:40,798 --> 01:02:41,315 We can offer. 1201 01:02:41,315 --> 01:02:42,664 So maybe we can all work together 1202 01:02:42,664 --> 01:02:44,901 and maybe I know you can help me get that. 1203 01:02:44,901 --> 01:02:46,476 And put it in the right hands. 1204 01:02:46,476 --> 01:02:47,849 It really that's a good idea. 1205 01:02:47,849 --> 01:02:49,811 And maybe even valid You that's Yeah that's 1206 01:02:49,811 --> 01:02:52,232 and I just ordinary long way from Valley View. 1207 01:02:52,232 --> 01:02:54,524 So there are really two elementary schools 1208 01:02:54,524 --> 01:02:57,464 that that could benefit from your knowledge 1209 01:02:57,464 --> 01:03:00,664 and expertise Councilmember Garcia 1210 01:03:00,664 --> 01:03:01,664 did you have something to add? 1211 01:03:01,664 --> 01:03:05,485 No, I was just a great idea, and it could open up the partnership 1212 01:03:05,485 --> 01:03:07,304 with the school district because there's 1213 01:03:07,304 --> 01:03:08,905 a student garden area along. 1214 01:03:08,905 --> 01:03:10,911 So maybe you can even at one point, 1215 01:03:10,911 --> 01:03:13,634 maybe manage that if it's a success area. 1216 01:03:13,634 --> 01:03:15,794 Well, I just want to thank you both, you and chris, 1217 01:03:15,794 --> 01:03:16,574 and

01:03:35,984 --> 01:03:37,964 If it's just touching, you know, one family. 1226 01:03:37,964 --> 01:03:39,434 On a small level, I can't imagine 1227 01:03:39,434 --> 01:03:41,714 what it's doing for families across the whole city. 1228 01:03:41,714 --> 01:03:44,204 So all these small stories that everybody's 1229 01:03:44,204 --> 01:03:46,694 had just as a testament to what you guys are doing

01:05:13,244 that the trail was conducted The findings included dark Spot, 1263 01:05:13,244 --> 01:05:18,494 the main dark spots were between Vineyard and Mount Olive 1264 01:05:18,494 --> 01:05:22,154 as well as Royal Oaks, North from the East End 1265 01:05:22,154 --> 01:05:25,814 to west of Oak Street bridge. 1266 01:05:25,814 --> 01:05:27,554 This particular section is already 1267 01:05:27,554 --> 01:05:32,714 included as part of the current contract for lighting. 1268 01:05:32,714 --> 01:05:37,394 So that's not part of what we're discussing today for lighting 1269 01:05:37,394 --> 01:05:41,564 Next thing here, just the same renderings 1270 01:05:41,564 --> 01:05:43,214 that you saw at the last meeting. 1271 01:05:43,214 --> 01:05:52,664 This is a daytime rendering and then the next slide is the night 1272 01:05:52,664 --> 01:05:57,794 So in the last meeting, the discussion led to council 1273 01:05:57,794 --> 01:06:01,274 requesting final cost proposal for the installation of the 20 1274 01:06:01,274 --> 01:06:05,564 pedestrian lights which are about 14ft tall along 1275 01:06:05,564 --> 01:06:12,074 the identified dark spot spots between the Mount between 1276 01:06:12,074 --> 01:06:15,914 Vineyard and Mount Olive's likely slightly west of that 1277 01:06:15,914 --> 01:06:21,915 And so at this meeting now, we are providing you with the cost 1278 01:06:21,915 --> 01:06:24,974 for proposal of the cost estimate that we 1279 01:06:24,974 --> 01:06:27,914 presented to you to the Council at the last 1280 01:06:27,914 --> 01:06:30,764 meeting was about 500,000. 1281 01:06:30,764 --> 01:06:34,844 Obviously, staff was being considered live with the numbers 1282 01:06:34,844 --> 01:06:39,407 that we that we were providing after working with a contractor 1283 01:06:39,407 --> 01:06:42,734 The contractor was able to narrow down the costs as much 1284 01:06:42,734 --> 01:06:46,400 as possible to a proposal of $2,294,000 1285 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,634 for that additional scope. 1286 01:06:49,634 --> 01:06:52,214 And next slide. 1287 01:06:52,214 --> 01:06:55,724 And so now we're seeking direction from Council 1288 01:06:55,724 --> 01:07:00,044 for an on how to proceed with the trail lighting, 1289 01:07:00,044 --> 01:07:04,064 the recommendation could be to approve the budget amendment, 1290 01:07:04,064 --> 01:07:06,734 a budget amendment and approve the change order 1291 01:07:06,734 --> 01:07:10,874 to the contractor in the amount of $284,000 for the installation 1292 01:07:10,874 --> 01:07:14,264 of the additional pedestrian lights along the trail within 1293 01:07:14,264 --> 01:07:15,944 the identified dark areas. 1294 01:07:15,944 --> 01:07:21,405 Or designate another option camp or just city manager. 1295 01:07:21,405 --> 01:07:26,384 Really quick to add we did hear from senator Rubio's office 1296 01:07:26,384 --> 01:07:31,214 that our request for $300,000 to light the trail was approved. 1297 01:07:31,214 --> 01:07:37,274 And so just one that's awesome I will 1298 01:07:37,274 --> 01:07:39,369 opening the floor to questions. 1299 01:07:39,369 --> 01:07:40,067 Yes. 1300 01:07:40,067 --> 01:07:40,765 OK. 1301 01:07:40,765 --> 01:07:41,714 Anyone have questions? 1302 01:07:41,714 --> 01:07:42,414 Councilmember Finley. 1303 01:07:42,414 --> 01:07:43,064 Thank you. 1304 01:07:43,064 --> 01:07:43,664 You. 1305 01:07:43,664 --> 01:07:44,804 Fantastic. 1306 01:07:44,804 --> 01:07:46,934 Brian, that is. 1307 01:07:46,934 --> 01:07:47,655 That's great. 1308 01:07:47,655 --> 01:07:50,684 So this lighting will be paid for. 1309 01:07:50,684 --> 01:07:53,782 Not out of the city general fund, 1310 01:07:53,782 --> 01:07:56,504 but with help from Sacramento. 1311 01:07:56,504 --> 01:08:01,814 Actually, Susan Rubio A big part of that is it's regional draw. 1312 01:08:01,814 --> 01:08:04,004 It's not just a Dougherty item. 1313 01:08:04,004 --> 01:08:07,004 No people come from everywhere to walk that trail. 1314 01:08:07,004 --> 01:08:08,714 That is absolutely true. 1315 01:08:08,714 --> 01:08:11,775 And there have been runs along there for years. 1316 01:08:11,775 --> 01:08:13,154 The five KS. 1317 01:08:13,154 --> 01:08:16,694 So that's that's fabulous That is fabulous. 1318 01:08:16,694 --> 01:08:17,654 Thank you. 1319 01:08:17,654 --> 01:08:24,434 Is is is it is it possible for a regional draw for our poll 1320 01:08:24,434 --> 01:08:29,584 to i'm guessing working on that one to thank you, Stephanie 1321 01:08:29,584 --> 01:08:30,544 for that. 1322 01:08:30,544 --> 01:08:34,274 You know I want to say during this process it was, 1323 01:08:34,274 --> 01:08:37,214 you know, a little bit of a back and forth like hey, 1324 01:08:37,214 --> 01:08:40,544 we want to see this and we want to see that you took the time 1325 01:08:40,544 --> 01:08:42,554 to actually, you know, take the time to listen to us 1326 01:08:42,554 --> 01:08:47,579 and provide us whatever it was that you can to accommodate, 1327 01:08:47,579 --> 01:08:52,604 you know Seven different opinions here on the dias. 1328 01:08:52,604 --> 01:08:56,381 And i understand how that can be. 1329 01:08:56,381 --> 01:09:01,664 But I think with the willingness to kind of push this to match 1330 01:09:01,664 --> 01:09:03,044 the timeline to see if we were going 1331 01:09:03,044 --> 01:09:04,814 to be able to get these funds. 1332 01:09:04,814 --> 01:09:06,804 And I think everything worked out perfectly 1333 01:09:06,804 --> 01:09:12,498 And for that, we didn't have to pull any money out of our funds 1334 01:09:12,498 --> 01:09:13,473 to get this. 1335 01:09:13,473 --> 01:09:14,935 And to make this happen. 1336 01:09:14,935 --> 01:09:17,414 So I think that's awesome I'm going to let 1337 01:09:17,414 --> 01:09:19,304 the expert have a comment. 1338 01:09:19,304 --> 01:09:21,644 This gentleman, Councilmember Calderon, 1339 01:09:21,644 --> 01:09:23,804 is on that thing all year round. 1340 01:09:23,804 --> 01:09:24,944 Every time I'm on there. 1341 01:09:24,944 --> 01:09:25,664 Yes, I am. 1342 01:09:25,664 --> 01:09:27,507 And i this weekend. 1343 01:09:27,507 --> 01:09:29,445 I really felt like the lights were necessary. 1344 01:09:29,445 --> 01:09:30,554 I saw a couple of people trip. 1345 01:09:30,554 --> 01:09:32,834 I went when it was darker and I know 1346 01:09:32,834 --> 01:09:36,284 that was getting a little darker with the replacement. 1347 01:09:36,284 --> 01:09:39,134 So I think the lights are really, really important I want 1348 01:09:39,134 --> 01:09:41,504 to thank the senator because if you guys thought it was 1349 01:09:41,504 --> 01:09:44,324 hard to get us all to come together to make 1350 01:09:44,324 --> 01:09:46,244 a decision on the lights, it's even harder to get money 1351 01:09:46,244 --> 01:09:47,534 out of Sacramento right now. 1352 01:09:47,534 --> 01:09:50,024 So the fact that the senator was able to give us this funds 1353 01:09:50,024 --> 01:09:51,314 really, really makes a difference. 1354 01:09:51,314 --> 01:09:53,654 And we're all very thankful for it. 1355 01:09:53,654 --> 01:09:55,514 And again thank you to staff for bringing 1356 01:09:55,514 --> 01:09:56,684 all this information to us. 1357 01:09:56,684 --> 01:09:59,534 I know it was an easy councilmember, just 1358 01:09:59,534 --> 01:10:00,284 my hat's off. 1359 01:10:00,284 --> 01:10:02,474 I give my thanks to the senator But 1360 01:10:02,474 --> 01:10:06,794 Stephanie and Dragon Hensley, I mean, we had a great workshop. 1361 01:10:06,794 --> 01:10:09,049 We've had a couple of meetings and Councilmember Truong 1362 01:10:09,049 --> 01:10:10,880 is right It was some back and forth. 1363 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,234 I know at times that can be stressful on both sides. 1364 01:10:14,234 --> 01:10:16,424 But I want to thank you for getting us to this point, 1365 01:10:16,424 --> 01:10:18,644 working with efforts contractors. 1366 01:10:18,644 --> 01:10:22,064 This is a win win for the city for the residents 1367 01:10:22,064 --> 01:10:24,194 and for everybody that uses the trail, 1368 01:10:24,194 --> 01:10:26,984 especially during those four winter months, were it 1369 01:10:26,984 --> 01:10:27,644 gets really dark. 1370 01:10:27,644 --> 01:10:29,054 It's really going to enhance it. 1371 01:10:29,054 --> 01:10:30,254 And I'm excited to see it. 1372 01:10:30,254 --> 01:10:33,324 And and just I'm in favor of moving forward. 1373 01:10:33,324 --> 01:10:33,824 Yeah. 1374 01:10:33,824 --> 01:10:36,254 I want to say thank you to all of Council 1375 01:10:36,254 --> 01:10:37,784 for everyone being so passionate. 1376 01:10:37,784 --> 01:10:39,554 That's why we are up here, even when 1377 01:10:39,554 --> 01:10:43,574 it's extra pressure on staff and we are sorry for our passion 1378 01:10:43,574 --> 01:10:45,284 sometimes, but we shouldn't apologize it. 1379 01:10:45,284 --> 01:10:49,904 But we thank you guys very much for all the work you do to help 1380 01:10:49,904 --> 01:10:52,544 us, you know, cross those t's, dot those eyes, and make sure 1381 01:10:52,544 --> 01:10:55,334 we're making decisions that are best for this community 1382 01:10:55,334 --> 01:10:58,889 And especially thank you to Senator Rubio for advocating 1383 01:10:58,889 --> 01:11:02,504 for this regional benefit You know, and I'm very 1384 01:11:02,504 --> 01:11:04,364 excited that all the passion and hard work 1385 01:11:04,364 --> 01:11:08,354 is coming together to just really enhance our community 1386 01:11:08,354 --> 01:11:11,924 and make it a more attractive place for regional visitation. 1387 01:11:11,924 --> 01:11:18,781 So with that do we need to move approval ? 1388 01:11:18,781 --> 01:11:20,861 Second, all in favor. 1389 01:11:20,861 --> 01:11:24,314 I any opposed motion carries Thank you. 1390 01:11:24,314 --> 01:11:25,214 Great job. 1391 01:11:25,214 --> 01:11:25,844 Thank you. 1392 01:11:25,844 --> 01:11:30,284 Thank you OK, now we have item C, 1393 01:11:30,284 --> 01:11:34,374 which is going to be presented by city manager Brian Bulova 1394 01:11:34,374 --> 01:11:34,874 Thank you. 1395 01:11:34,874 --> 01:11:35,744 We table that. 1396 01:11:35,744 --> 01:11:36,465 I'm just kidding. 1397 01:11:36,465 --> 01:11:42,284 I oh, well, thank you, Mayor and council. 1398 01:11:42,284 --> 01:11:45,584 These next two items are part of something 1399 01:11:45,584 --> 01:11:48,554 that I've been working on really in the last a little 1400 01:11:48,554 --> 01:11:52,574 more than three years since I took this job as city manager 1401 01:11:52,574 --> 01:11:54,704 and looking at the organizational efficiency 1402 01:11:54,704 --> 01:11:59,984 these pathways for staff to grow within the organization, 1403 01:11:59,984 --> 01:12:01,424 succession planning and throughout all 1404 01:12:01,424 --> 01:12:06,854 departments in doing so, you know, you know, as you know, 1405 01:12:06,854 --> 01:12:09,914 Christine does an amazing job and we've 1406 01:12:09,914 --> 01:12:12,314 had a lot of discussions in the last three years 1407 01:12:12,314 --> 01:12:14,534 about everything that she does. 1408 01:12:14,534 --> 01:12:16,934 You know, in addition to be an assistant city manager, 1409 01:12:16,934 --> 01:12:24,404 she oversees finance h.R. IT Transit risk management 1410 01:12:24,404 --> 01:12:25,964 Those are a lot of things. 1411 01:12:25,964 --> 01:12:31,214 And so we discussed how what does it look like after she's 1412 01:12:31,214 --> 01:12:32,984 no longer in that position and we 1413 01:12:32,984 --> 01:12:38,444 and we need to replace her hopefully long, long way 1414 01:12:38,444 --> 01:12:39,794 down the road. 1415 01:12:39,794 --> 01:12:43,454 But what does that look like There's 1416 01:12:43,454 --> 01:12:46,604 you know the benefits of working in a small city 1417 01:12:46,604 --> 01:12:50,474 is that all of us get to learn and do a lot You know, 1418 01:12:50,474 --> 01:12:51,914 when you work in larger cities, you only 1419 01:12:51,914 --> 01:12:53,234 get to touch a really small piece 1420 01:12:53,234 --> 01:12:56,172 of the puzzle We touch all the pieces and every department 1421 01:12:56,172 --> 01:12:57,243 which is great. 1422 01:12:57,243 --> 01:13:00,134 But sometimes it can be very daunting to try and replace 1423 01:13:00,134 --> 01:13:02,024 somebody who's held that position for so long, 1424 01:13:02,024 --> 01:13:06,224 such as she has So as we talked through it, 1425 01:13:06,224 --> 01:13:09,014 we realized that the probably the best thing to do 1426 01:13:09,014 --> 01:13:13,034 was to create a new position, a position that would be 1427 01:13:13,034 --> 01:13:15,794 described as assisting into the director 1428 01:13:15,794 --> 01:13:17,594 of administrative services. 1429 01:13:17,594 --> 01:13:20,504 I mean, that's really what's before you today. 1430 01:13:20,504 --> 01:13:23,084 The reason being is this person can 1431 01:13:23,084 --> 01:13:25,994 come in start working on some of the projects 1432 01:13:25,994 --> 01:13:30,734 that we have come in, like a fixed route to micro transit 1433 01:13:30,734 --> 01:13:33,764 start working on some of the i.t Things, 1434 01:13:33,764 --> 01:13:35,924 taking some of the pieces off the plate. 1435 01:13:35,924 --> 01:13:37,544 That makes it manageable for whoever 1436 01:13:37,544 --> 01:13:41,984 comes next in that position as well as kind of down loading 1437 01:13:41,984 --> 01:13:44,324 some of those key things that only she 1438 01:13:44,324 --> 01:13:47,174 knows about how she puts together finance packages 1439 01:13:47,174 --> 01:13:48,944 and everything else. 1440 01:13:48,944 --> 01:13:51,704 I think it makes a lot of sense which 1441 01:13:51,704 --> 01:13:55,994 is why I bring in this idea and recommending it to you. 1442 01:13:55,994 --> 01:13:58,964 And fortunately for us, we have a person on staff 1443 01:13:58,964 --> 01:14:02,324 that I think it's exactly right into this piece of the puzzle, 1444 01:14:02,324 --> 01:14:05,144 because he's had the opportunity to grow already 1445 01:14:05,144 --> 01:14:06,704 within the organization. 1446 01:14:06,704 --> 01:14:11,774 Albert Nunez he's gone from our management aide 1447 01:14:11,774 --> 01:14:15,374 to management analyst If you didn't know he recently 1448 01:14:15,374 --> 01:14:20,504 graduated with his MBA and he's worked on signifi 1449 01:14:20,504 --> 01:14:24,974 can't projects throughout the city in all departments 1450 01:14:24,974 --> 01:14:27,924 and he's ready for this next task. 1451 01:14:27,924 --> 01:14:32,174 And so my recommendation to you is that you approve the attached 1452 01:14:32,174 --> 01:14:36,164 job description, approve the attached revised citywide salary 1453 01:14:36,164 --> 01:14:41,654 schedule and move the existing budget of 133 throughout 133,000 1454 01:14:41,654 --> 01:14:43,094 from the city manager's department 1455 01:14:43,094 --> 01:14:45,164 in the Administrative Services Department 1456 01:14:45,164 --> 01:14:46,544 and approve a budget amendment. 1457 01:14:46,544 --> 01:14:51,884 A 24,000 account number 1805-7002. 1458 01:14:51,884 --> 01:14:54,164 Are there any questions for me? 1459 01:14:54,164 --> 01:14:58,656 I don't know how I feel about this 1460 01:14:58,656 --> 01:15:02,174 but this is exactly something that I had a conversation 1461 01:15:02,174 --> 01:15:03,974 with you about, I think couple of years 1462 01:15:03,974 --> 01:15:10,970 ago when when you took over the senior manager position 1463 01:15:10,970 --> 01:15:14,744 because I think at that time, we saw a few people leave the city 1464 01:15:14,744 --> 01:15:20,504 just for growth purposes and you hit the nail on the head being 1465 01:15:20,504 --> 01:15:26,804 in the small small city, it's not much room, 1466 01:15:26,804 --> 01:15:31,004 but I think if we like you did start to think about advice 1467 01:15:31,004 --> 01:15:32,603 and be creative. 1468 01:15:32,603 --> 01:15:34,544 Gives a lot of people opportunities. 1469 01:15:34,544 --> 01:15:37,004 But i also think the benefits of working for a small city 1470 01:15:37,004 --> 01:15:39,584 or for small companies is that you 1471 01:15:39,584 --> 01:15:43,454 get to learn every aspect of what makes the city run 1472 01:15:43,454 --> 01:15:47,684 and that just empowers you as an individual to grow your career. 1473 01:15:47,684 --> 01:15:50,297 And no matter where it is that you want to want to be, 1474 01:15:50,297 --> 01:15:51,734 you want to go. 1475 01:15:51,734 --> 01:15:55,124 And I think that's the beauty of working for the city of Dori. 1476 01:15:55,124 --> 01:15:58,154 You get to learn different departments and ins and outs 1477 01:15:58,154 --> 01:16:00,872 and different aspects of how things work. 1478 01:16:00,872 --> 01:16:04,544 And also i'm not trying to our own horns, 1479 01:16:04,544 --> 01:16:06,914 but being in a small city, you get 1480 01:16:06,914 --> 01:16:13,124 to understand and communicate and be close with the council 1481 01:16:13,124 --> 01:16:15,794 individually and as well as all together. 1482 01:16:15,794 --> 01:16:24,444 So i would just he does a great job and the way he presents 1483 01:16:24,444 --> 01:16:27,974 with the ad hoc committee, certain items 1484 01:16:27,974 --> 01:16:31,844 that he has presented up here I see 1485 01:16:31,844 --> 01:16:39,164 why Christine didn't disagree with this Thank you, sir. 1486 01:16:39,164 --> 01:16:40,844 Councilmember Garcia Thank you. 1487 01:16:40,844 --> 01:16:42,854 I do have just a technical question. 1488 01:16:42,854 --> 01:16:44,894 So the management analyst position 1489 01:16:44,894 --> 01:16:48,534 just comes off the books or so it's good question. 1490 01:16:48,534 --> 01:16:49,304 Appreciate it. 1491 01:16:49,304 --> 01:16:53,024 Doesn't come off the books because it's a part of the job 1492 01:16:53,024 --> 01:16:56,864 The what is it the role of the salary schedule 1493 01:16:56,864 --> 01:17:00,374 that's already on there It does add a new one there. 1494 01:17:00,374 --> 01:17:05,384 But I am not requesting to fill that position as you know, 1495 01:17:05,384 --> 01:17:07,844 we have limited space within City Hall. 1496 01:17:07,844 --> 01:17:11,386 I don't know where we even put somebody else The other thing 1497 01:17:11,386 --> 01:17:13,618 is, is I think, we've gone through 1498 01:17:13,618 --> 01:17:14,954 and Chris and I talked about this, 1499 01:17:14,954 --> 01:17:18,323 too, is she had that position before and other people have. 1500 01:17:18,323 --> 01:17:21,224 And we've managed to grow a few other people 1501 01:17:21,224 --> 01:17:22,424 underneath that spot. 1502 01:17:22,424 --> 01:17:24,524 And we never usually had that right now, 1503 01:17:24,524 --> 01:17:26,144 we still have a college intern. 1504 01:17:26,144 --> 01:17:30,404 And so we evaluate, you know Andris, you know, myself, 1505 01:17:30,404 --> 01:17:33,074 and we'll see how it goes But we're not recommending 1506 01:17:33,074 --> 01:17:35,150 that right now okay? 1507 01:17:35,150 --> 01:17:37,612 Because I think this right now. 1508 01:17:37,612 --> 01:17:40,304 I'm hoping that this is the last move 1509 01:17:40,304 --> 01:17:44,792 within any pieces of the puzzle that I think we need 1510 01:17:44,792 --> 01:17:46,382 And I don't it. 1511 01:17:46,382 --> 01:17:49,638 I will come back if that's necessary, to fill that position 1512 01:17:49,638 --> 01:17:51,027 But right now, we'd like to see. 1513 01:17:51,027 --> 01:17:53,274 And look in how that goes, at least for a year. 1514 01:17:53,274 --> 01:17:53,774 Okay. 1515 01:17:53,774 --> 01:17:54,914 What the workload looks. 1516 01:17:54,914 --> 01:17:58,544 I just want to echo what Councilman Truong said. 1517 01:17:58,544 --> 01:18:02,075 Succession planning is something that we always talk about right? 1518 01:18:02,075 --> 01:18:04,994 And being a small city, we understand that some folks 1519 01:18:04,994 --> 01:18:06,554 do have to go out. 1520 01:18:06,554 --> 01:18:10,514 And so I appreciate whenever we can 1521 01:18:10,514 --> 01:18:13,994 help someone in an internal candidate move 1522 01:18:13,994 --> 01:18:17,804 up and continue growing outward. 1523 01:18:17,804 --> 01:18:20,399 Someone who has a lot of drive and I know 1524 01:18:20,399 --> 01:18:23,054 has big goals and ambitions And I have no doubt 1525 01:18:23,054 --> 01:18:24,074 that he's going to get there. 1526 01:18:24,074 --> 01:18:26,774 So this is a very special moment. 1527 01:18:26,774 --> 01:18:29,204 I was teasing him a little bit because I'm like, No, you can't. 1528 01:18:29,204 --> 01:18:30,644 You can't go to another department. 1529 01:18:30,644 --> 01:18:35,084 But I couldn't agree more with Mr. Nunez 1530 01:18:35,084 --> 01:18:37,379 from the first time you presented to see him present. 1531 01:18:37,379 --> 01:18:40,049 Now, it's been a huge just improvement, 1532 01:18:40,049 --> 01:18:43,754 the way he carries himself and getting to work closer with him. 1533 01:18:43,754 --> 01:18:46,688 Last year with state of the City and all that. 1534 01:18:46,688 --> 01:18:49,724 I can see why is a perfect candidate for this. 1535 01:18:49,724 --> 01:18:54,494 So congratulations sir Yeah, I mirror their sentiment. 1536 01:18:54,494 --> 01:18:55,664 I run a small company. 1537 01:18:55,664 --> 01:18:56,564 There's 11 of us. 1538 01:18:56,564 --> 01:18:58,514 And as people have to help each other 1539 01:18:58,514 --> 01:19:00,974 do a little bit of everything and your knowledge 1540 01:19:00,974 --> 01:19:02,924 and your ability to multitask and learn 1541 01:19:02,924 --> 01:19:04,844 different departments and specialties just 1542 01:19:04,844 --> 01:19:06,494 makes you more valuable. 1543 01:19:06,494 --> 01:19:09,374 And I think it's very important that the city continues 1544 01:19:09,374 --> 01:19:11,594 to be creative in order to maintain 1545 01:19:11,594 --> 01:19:14,174 the people that are evaluating You have done an amazing job. 1546 01:19:14,174 --> 01:19:15,674 You're very valuable to the city. 1547 01:19:15,674 --> 01:19:18,104 So I definitely have no objection 1548 01:19:18,104 --> 01:19:19,094 to this plan of action. 1549 01:19:19,094 --> 01:19:22,214 It's a creative use of all of the city's talents 1550 01:19:22,214 --> 01:19:25,064 in our budget Councilmember Finley 1551 01:19:25,064 --> 01:19:27,884 I think it shows a lot of impetus 1552 01:19:27,884 --> 01:19:32,534 on your part to go out and get your MBA. 1553 01:19:32,534 --> 01:19:35,384 I'm impressed And the only thing I ask 1554 01:19:35,384 --> 01:19:43,424 is that we see you in a coat and tie every day Casual Fridays, 1555 01:19:43,424 --> 01:19:46,334 even though you guys are closed already 1556 01:19:46,334 --> 01:19:49,484 with that I'm going to call for a motion of approval. 1557 01:19:49,484 --> 01:19:51,044 Second, sorry. 1558 01:19:51,044 --> 01:19:52,094 All in favor. 1559 01:19:52,094 --> 01:19:53,011 Did you want to talk? 1560 01:19:53,011 --> 01:19:54,884 I just go for you. 1561 01:19:54,884 --> 01:19:57,224 Well, you know, we're a small city like everyone says 1562 01:19:57,224 --> 01:20:00,404 So every member of staff kind of gets to work everywhere, 1563 01:20:00,404 --> 01:20:03,614 which makes them a valuable candidate to other cities. 1564 01:20:03,614 --> 01:20:06,644 And the fact that we have people working here for decades 1565 01:20:06,644 --> 01:20:08,111 also shows how great of a city. 1566 01:20:08,111 --> 01:20:08,864 We are. 1567 01:20:08,864 --> 01:20:11,414 I think moving industry action is the right step 1568 01:20:11,414 --> 01:20:13,784 to go because it shows appreciation for our existing 1569 01:20:13,784 --> 01:20:17,297 staff and it also puts us in a spot where when people choose 1570 01:20:17,297 --> 01:20:20,804 to retire, we're not looking like scared chickens, 1571 01:20:20,804 --> 01:20:22,424 not knowing what to do So I thank 1572 01:20:22,424 --> 01:20:23,804 you guys for taking the initiative 1573 01:20:23,804 --> 01:20:26,354 and congratulations, Albert, You really serve this. 1574 01:20:26,354 --> 01:20:28,297 So you could have been home watching 1575 01:20:28,297 --> 01:20:31,394 this or watching something else, and you're here tonight. 1576

01:21:00,388 to thank you all for your support not only here tonight. 1589 01:21:00,388 --> 01:21:02,864 But throughout the time I've been with the city of Dougherty. 1590 01:21:02,864 --> 01:21:04,994 I've been very fortunate to have had opportuni years 1591 01:21:04,994 --> 01:21:08,024 to grow as Brian mentioned, and took in 1592 01:21:08,024 --> 01:21:09,914 on various different projects. 1593 01:21:09,914 --> 01:21:11,924 And I've learned a lot throughout the years 1594 01:21:11,924 --> 01:21:15,014 and i really appreciate the support and confidence you all 1595 01:21:15,014

this great opportunity 1598 01:21:21,794 --> 01:21:23,924 to take on this next step. 1599 01:21:23,924 --> 01:21:26,474 I'm really excited for this new chapter 1600 01:21:26,474 --> 01:21:28,694 to continue to take on new responsibilities, 1601 01:21:28,694 --> 01:21:31,094 continue to learn and contribute to the city 1602 01:21:31,094 --> 01:21:33,584 and in this new capacity I really 1603 01:21:33,584 --> 01:21:34,609 enjoy working for the city. 1604 01:21:34,609 --> 01:21:37,274 Doherty serving this community and I'm 1605 01:21:37,274 --> 01:21:38,594 very grateful for the opportunity 1606 01:21:38,594 --> 01:21:40,634 to continue to grow here. 1607 01:21:40,634 --> 01:21:41,504 So thank you again. 1608 01:21:41,504 --> 01:21:43,014 I really appreciate it. 1609 01:21:43,014 --> 01:21:43,514 Thank you. 1610 01:21:43,514 --> 01:21:45,584 We appreciate you Councilmember Garcia, 1611 01:21:45,584 --> 01:21:49,244 you when does it go to a fact Tomorrow. 1612 01:21:49,244 --> 01:21:50,264 Is he yours tomorrow? 1613 01:21:50,264 --> 01:21:53,204 How does it work It'll it'll actually 1614 01:21:53,204 --> 01:21:56,744 be on the next payroll cycle. 1615 01:21:56,744 --> 01:21:57,314 There you go. 1616 01:21:57,314 --> 01:21:58,245 That's how it usually goes. 1617 01:21:58,245 --> 01:22:00,494 That sounds about right. 1618 01:22:00,494 --> 01:22:02,624 Awesome Okay, We good? 1619 01:22:02,624 --> 01:22:04,784 All right, we're going to move on to item D 1620 01:22:04,784 --> 01:22:08,894 and this will also be presented by city manager Brian Villalobos 1621 01:22:08,894 --> 01:22:10,064 Thank you again. 1622 01:22:10,064 --> 01:22:14,744 And so this one really falls under organization efficiencies. 1623 01:22:14,744 --> 01:22:19,814 As you know, there parks and Rec puts on a lot of great events 1624 01:22:19,814 --> 01:22:22,874 a lot of great programs and does a lot within the city 1625 01:22:22,874 --> 01:22:25,784 to really brand everything we do. 1626 01:22:25,784 --> 01:22:29,384 I mean, when people look at us, they look at the events. 1627 01:22:29,384 --> 01:22:33,299 And what we do and what we host And thinking about that, 1628 01:22:33,299 --> 01:22:35,564 and especially after the last July third event, 1629 01:22:35,564 --> 01:22:38,654 which was standing room only you know, 1630 01:22:38,654 --> 01:22:41,564 I'd been pondering over what to do 1631 01:22:41,564 --> 01:22:44,474 about how to assist emanuel as he continues 1632 01:22:44,474 --> 01:22:46,394 to grow bigger and better. 1633 01:22:46,394 --> 01:22:49,094 And so for the last year and a half, almost two years, 1634 01:22:49,094 --> 01:22:51,194 I've been thinking about what does that look like 1635 01:22:51,194 --> 01:22:56,204 without trying to add staff and so we really looked back 1636 01:22:56,204 --> 01:22:58,214 into what we used to do in the past 1637 01:22:58,214 --> 01:23:01,064 and filled services many moons ago. 1638 01:23:01,064 --> 01:23:05,265 When I first started here used to assist in setups for, 1639 01:23:05,265 --> 01:23:08,114 for events and did a lot in the city 1640 01:23:08,114 --> 01:23:09,539 that they currently aren't working 1641 01:23:09,539 --> 01:23:13,724 at and doing now Which is why I thought, you know what? 1642 01:23:13,724 --> 01:23:16,514 It makes a lot of sense to move field 1643 01:23:16,514 --> 01:23:18,314 services under Parks and Rec. 1644 01:23:18,314 --> 01:23:21,944 There are a lot of parks and rec departments across the foothills 1645 01:23:21,944 --> 01:23:23,474 and other cities that already have 1646 01:23:23,474 --> 01:23:25,874 that branch under them where they work 1647 01:23:25,874 --> 01:23:27,164 because they work in the parks. 1648 01:23:27,164 --> 01:23:28,455 They also work in the medians. 1649 01:23:28,455 --> 01:23:30,824 They do irrigation. 1650 01:23:30,824 --> 01:23:33,704 So there are a lot of a lot of benefits 1651 01:23:33,704 --> 01:23:35,894 and there were a lot of already precedents 1652 01:23:35,894 --> 01:23:40,214 that through other cities that this isn't unheard of. 1653 01:23:40,214 --> 01:23:45,260 So what this gives parks and rec is the addition of, 1654 01:23:45,260 --> 01:23:48,566 let's say what Six full time personnel. 1655 01:23:48,566 --> 01:23:53,174 So to assist them with, set up for all their major events 1656 01:23:53,174 --> 01:23:57,164 to assist with prep at parks, which they were already mostly 1657 01:23:57,164 --> 01:24:01,874 doing anyways And I think it just for me, 1658 01:24:01,874 --> 01:24:05,024 it made a lot of sense as an organization 1659 01:24:05,024 --> 01:24:09,224 to do this as we continue to try and grow, but also not 1660 01:24:09,224 --> 01:24:12,884 try to grow our staff and to stay within our budget, which 1661 01:24:12,884 --> 01:24:18,674 is why it's brought before you today is addition of an approval 1662 01:24:18,674 --> 01:24:21,734 of the attached job descriptions of the Director 1663 01:24:21,734 --> 01:24:24,764 of commune development Because what we're taking out 1664 01:24:24,764 --> 01:24:28,754 is him overseeing field services, the director 1665 01:24:28,754 --> 01:24:29,864 of Parks and Recreation. 1666 01:24:29,864 --> 01:24:32,324 We're adding those that branch, that field 1667 01:24:32,324 --> 01:24:34,244 services division under him. 1668 01:24:34,244 --> 01:24:37,034 And so they'd be supervising used by him as well 1669 01:24:37,034 --> 01:24:39,794 as the correction of the field services manager, 1670 01:24:39,794 --> 01:24:41,595 as it will now be overseen by Director 1671 01:24:41,595 --> 01:24:42,824 of Parks and Recreation. 1672 01:24:42,824 --> 01:24:46,784 That a community development director as well as approve 1673 01:24:46,784 --> 01:24:49,604 the attached revised citywide salary schedule and approve 1674 01:24:49,604 --> 01:24:51,764 a budget amendment of 16,000 to count 1675 01:24:51,764 --> 01:24:56,924 for the count number 1605-7002. 1676 01:24:56,924 --> 01:24:58,934 And let me explain the citywide salary schedule 1677 01:24:58,934 --> 01:25:01,544 as it relates to this and looking 1678 01:25:01,544 --> 01:25:05,084 at other cities and the cities that we've already designated 1679 01:25:05,084 --> 01:25:08,714 and started working under a salary survey with the union, 1680 01:25:08,714 --> 01:25:11,234 Christine, did an informal survey of those same cities 1681 01:25:11,234 --> 01:25:15,104 to get basically a pay scale of what those duties look 1682 01:25:15,104 --> 01:25:18,374 like for parks and recreation directors 1683 01:25:18,374 --> 01:25:22,064 We feel confident that putting this pay 1684 01:25:22,064 --> 01:25:26,084 scale with the additional duties of the director of Parks 1685 01:25:26,084 --> 01:25:30,284 and recreation up to what it would be matching with community 1686 01:25:30,284 --> 01:25:33,794 development director currently is safely going 1687 01:25:33,794 --> 01:25:36,314 to be within the margin of what the salary 1688 01:25:36,314 --> 01:25:37,874 survey is going to show. 1689 01:25:37,874 --> 01:25:40,694 That's why we're recommending that Now, what I'm not 1690 01:25:40,694 --> 01:25:44,024 recommending is that we pay all director hours 1691 01:25:44,024 --> 01:25:46,184 or even all managers the same. 1692 01:25:46,184 --> 01:25:48,374 The salary survey will come and show 1693 01:25:48,374 --> 01:25:52,634 that salaries differ across different directors 1694 01:25:52,634 --> 01:25:57,982 and jobs and managers as a whole So it may be tied right now. 1695 01:25:57,982 --> 01:25:59,684 And they are both the same. 1696 01:25:59,684 --> 01:26:02,144 But after the salary survey, it may not be. 1697 01:26:02,144 --> 01:26:04,888 And that's why I'm explicitly saying, 1698 01:26:04,888 --> 01:26:07,904 I am not asking to tie all of the directors salaries 1699 01:26:07,904 --> 01:26:11,514 to the same scale because that's not what the salary survey, we 1700 01:26:11,514 --> 01:26:14,954 believe will show, but for this, this for the purposes of this, 1701 01:26:14,954 --> 01:26:18,374 as we add additional duties to the job of Director of Parks 1702 01:26:18,374 --> 01:26:21,824 and Rec, we believe that that salary survey in this scale 1703 01:26:21,824 --> 01:26:30,524 will fit within that margin Are there any questions I mean 1704 01:26:30,524 --> 01:26:35,144 I think you told me fair if you as a director 1705 01:26:35,144 --> 01:26:38,504 are you taking on another call? 1706 01:26:38,504 --> 01:26:41,174 It's like a small department coming into your department, 1707 01:26:41,174 --> 01:26:46,604 a small part of the department division of more individuals, 1708 01:26:46,604 --> 01:26:48,344 more responsibilities. 1709 01:26:48,344 --> 01:26:50,684 But it also doesn't make sense. 1710 01:26:50,684 --> 01:26:54,711 Parks and RECs, field services in other fields that are 1711 01:26:54,711 --> 01:26:58,724 and most of the 80% of the fields 1712 01:26:58,724 --> 01:27:02,684 are the parks that are in our inner city. 1713 01:27:02,684 --> 01:27:06,014 So I think i think this does make sense. 1714 01:27:06,014 --> 01:27:10,844 And again this is a credit to the creativity of what you're 1715 01:27:10,844 --> 01:27:15,044 trying to do and maintain the valuable individuals that we 1716 01:27:15,044 --> 01:27:22,994 have in our city That position of director is pretty up 1717 01:27:22,994 --> 01:27:27,284 there already small opportunities to increase 1718 01:27:27,284 --> 01:27:28,334 salaries and growth. 1719 01:27:28,334 --> 01:27:33,420 But what you're doing, I think, is, is this creative 1720 01:27:33,420 --> 01:27:34,544 These is good job. 1721 01:27:34,544 --> 01:27:36,914 Thank you. 1722 01:27:36,914 --> 01:27:38,294 Anybody else? 1723 01:27:38,294 --> 01:27:44,234 Council member Finley Thank you It 1724 01:27:44,234 --> 01:27:50,114 says from Brian Villalobos City Manager by Kristen peterson. 1725 01:27:50,114 --> 01:27:55,475 So my guess is Kristen wrote this You'd be correct OK. 1726 01:27:55,475 --> 01:27:56,515 Creative use. 1727 01:27:56,515 --> 01:28:04,604 But what is said here, I think, is is very correct You've 1728 01:28:04,604 --> 01:28:06,854 been here since 2019. 1729 01:28:06,854 --> 01:28:07,424 How Manuel? 1730 01:28:07,424 --> 01:28:10,814 Oh, wow Okay. 1731 01:28:10,814 --> 01:28:16,214 So kristen wrote manual hasn't just read vetted the parks 1732 01:28:16,214 --> 01:28:17,444 and Recreation department. 1733 01:28:17,444 --> 01:28:19,514 He has developed a positive image 1734 01:28:19,514 --> 01:28:23,354 for the city of toward through quality special events supported 1735 01:28:23,354 --> 01:28:26,564 by strong communication with the community 1736 01:28:26,564 --> 01:28:30,344 and an innovative social media presence. 1737 01:28:30,344 --> 01:28:32,204 It really has changed. 1738 01:28:32,204 --> 01:28:35,384 And you can just throw up all those barf emojis you want, 1739 01:28:35,384 --> 01:28:45,404 Kristen, But but it's I think our Parks Rec Department 1740 01:28:45,404 --> 01:28:52,514 excuse me, it has changed and i'm just really pleased that now 1741 01:28:52,514 --> 01:28:55,514 we, I really think this ultimately is going to save 1742 01:28:55,514 --> 01:29:00,764 money for us and so I'm really I'm pleased to see that this 1743 01:29:00,764 --> 01:29:05,624 will happen So congratulations, at least I would certainly agree 1744 01:29:05,624 --> 01:29:07,784 Councilmember Garcia I promise. 1745 01:29:07,784 --> 01:29:09,734 I didn't share my notes with Councilmember Finley, 1746 01:29:09,734 --> 01:29:12,734 but i read the staff report as well. 1747 01:29:12,734 --> 01:29:16,604 And I was like because there's a lot, a lot 1748 01:29:16,604 --> 01:29:19,634 of kudos to director Enriquez. 1749 01:29:19,634 --> 01:29:23,534 And on that, social media and I did look at the job description 1750 01:29:23,534 --> 01:29:25,394 and I don't think that's on his job description. 1751 01:29:25,394 --> 01:29:28,154 So he jumps in a lot. 1752 01:29:28,154 --> 01:29:31,272 And a lot of the videos i have gotten the most engagement. 1753 01:29:31,272 --> 01:29:33,947 This past couple of months with 3rd of July and the ones 1754 01:29:33,947 --> 01:29:35,957 I've been like, of course, you were 1755 01:29:35,957 --> 01:29:39,134 in them and so was the mayor. 1756 01:29:39,134 --> 01:29:40,694 Maybe that has more to do with it, 1757 01:29:40,694 --> 01:29:42,824 but they've all come out of his department. 1758 01:29:42,824 --> 01:29:48,314 And so I just want to echo and say that i look forward 1759 01:29:48,314 --> 01:29:51,884 to seeing this and I appreciate all the work 1760 01:29:51,884 --> 01:29:53,204 that each and every one of you do. 1761 01:29:53,204 --> 01:29:56,804 But Director, I growing up in this community 1762 01:29:56,804 --> 01:29:59,984 volunteering here at some point and being an intern, 1763 01:29:59,984 --> 01:30:02,924 I have seen the change out of your department. 1764 01:30:02,924 --> 01:30:04,694 We're not scared to try new things, 1765 01:30:04,694 --> 01:30:08,024 to move concerts on different days to figure out what works, 1766 01:30:08,024 --> 01:30:10,424 to find out what events are well attended, 1767 01:30:10,424 --> 01:30:12,854 which ones are not, and are not being asked to say, 1768 01:30:12,854 --> 01:30:14,774 you know what, we've done this 20 years, 1769 01:30:14,774 --> 01:30:16,996 but maybe we can do it differently 1770 01:30:16,996 --> 01:30:22,815 So I will motion to move, but I would ask that in the future, 1771 01:30:22,815 --> 01:30:26,234 we do a new we can bring something back on how 1772 01:30:26,234 --> 01:30:30,494 we can do more social media with parks and Rec as a combination. 1773 01:30:30,494 --> 01:30:32,264 I know it comes out of your department that will 1774 01:30:32,264 --> 01:30:36,674 be on the next agenda Oh well. 1775 01:30:36,674 --> 01:30:38,144 Motion to approve. 1776 01:30:38,144 --> 01:30:41,328 If there's no other comments or questions Ryan cookin right now, 1777 01:30:41,328 --> 01:30:42,622 you just got to wait. 1778 01:30:42,622 --> 01:30:43,268 It's not. 1779 01:30:43,268 --> 01:30:43,807 Not done yet. 1780 01:30:43,807 --> 01:30:44,507 The meal is not done. 1781 01:30:44,507 --> 01:30:46,214 Appreciate it. 1782 01:30:46,214 --> 01:30:46,844 All right. 1783 01:30:46,844 --> 01:30:53,534 I I'll I'm I'm struggling for word All in favor. 1784 01:30:53,534 --> 01:30:57,663 Any opposed motion carries I didn't comment, 1785 01:30:57,663 --> 01:30:59,234 but I mirror everybody's sentiments. 1786 01:30:59,234 --> 01:31:03,404 150% and definitely there is a amazing return 1787 01:31:03,404 --> 01:31:04,865 on investment with this report. 1788 01:31:04,865 --> 01:31:07,364 Thanks. 1789 01:31:07,364 --> 01:31:11,144 OK, Now we're moving on to item 14 items from the City Council 1790 01:31:11,144 --> 01:31:13,334 housing Authority Financing Authority, 1791 01:31:13,334 --> 01:31:14,984 and everybody from the office. 1792 01:31:14,984 --> 01:31:16,944 If you guys want to go ahead, I'm 1793 01:31:16,944 --> 01:31:18,154 going to invite each department head 1794 01:31:18,154 --> 01:31:19,664 to report on anything they've attended 1795 01:31:19,664 --> 01:31:28,184 or government code section 52 or 5032 32.3. 1796 01:31:28,184 --> 01:31:29,354 Nothing to report. 1797 01:31:29,354 --> 01:31:30,434 All right. 1798 01:31:30,434 --> 01:31:34,364 I think nothing in city manager. 1799 01:31:34,364 --> 01:31:38,384 Just two quick items The north San Gabriel River working group 1800 01:31:38,384 --> 01:31:44,234 did meet since the last city council meeting We are Irwindale 1801 01:31:44,234 --> 01:31:48,674 did sign the JPA So all three cities have now signed it 1802 01:31:48,674 --> 01:31:52,424 It has to go to the state to be, I guess, document 1803 01:31:52,424 --> 01:31:59,024 and certified That usually takes a few months from what I'm told 1804 01:31:59,024 --> 01:32:05,354 So we're looking at probably beginning of sometime early 1805 01:32:05,354 --> 01:32:08,054 next year, if not by the end of the year, 1806 01:32:08,054 --> 01:32:10,115 getting together and formalizing a board 1807 01:32:10,115 --> 01:32:12,194 and we'll probably wait till January or February 1808 01:32:12,194 --> 01:32:16,874 this way it gives each city the opportunity to post that board 1809 01:32:16,874 --> 01:32:21,413 spot on, on the organizational, 1810 01:32:21,413 --> 01:32:23,875 help me out with the list is called 1811 01:32:23,875 --> 01:32:25,814 intergovernmental There you go and confirmed 1812 01:32:25,814 --> 01:32:27,408 mental appointments. 1813 01:32:27,408 --> 01:32:30,914 And so we think it makes sense to put it on there. 1814 01:32:30,914 --> 01:32:33,944 And so council can look at that every every year 1815 01:32:33,944 --> 01:32:38,714 and appoint the person talked with the Army 1816 01:32:38,714 --> 01:32:39,704 Corps of Engineers. 1817 01:32:39,704 --> 01:32:42,254 We will be working excuse with them through the lease 1818 01:32:42,254 --> 01:32:43,724 for Loreal Park. 1819 01:32:43,724 --> 01:32:46,004 They said that a pretty extensive approximately about 1820 01:32:46,004 --> 01:32:48,614 a year to move through all of their channels before it gets 1821 01:32:48,614 --> 01:32:52,574 approved So everything is in motion. 1822 01:32:52,574 --> 01:32:55,522 I think we ultimately will get to where we need to be. 1823 01:32:55,522 --> 01:32:57,374 It'll just be a little bit of time, 1824 01:32:57,374 --> 01:33:00,794 but we're still staying on the right path. 1825 01:33:00,794 --> 01:33:04,064 Additionally, I did attend the Contract Cities Fall seminar 1826 01:33:04,064 --> 01:33:07,574 and I can tell you Council member Truong did a fantastic 1827 01:33:07,574 --> 01:33:12,974 job as he talked about the work that we've done working together 1828 01:33:12,974 --> 01:33:18,014 as three cities, as we navigate into the quagmire of working 1829 01:33:18,014 --> 01:33:22,214 with the federal, state, county on all levels. 1830 01:33:22,214 --> 01:33:25,304 trying to gain some local control over what 1831 01:33:25,304 --> 01:33:28,304 happens in that riverbed And I think 1832 01:33:28,304 --> 01:33:30,554 it was really well received. 1833 01:33:30,554 --> 01:33:35,324 You know, he also was up there with the mayor of Irwindale 1834 01:33:35,324 --> 01:33:37,192 and council member for those who say 1835 01:33:37,192 --> 01:33:38,624 and again overall, I would think it 1836 01:33:38,624 --> 01:33:41,024 was there was a lot of great feedback from other cities 1837 01:33:41,024 --> 01:33:42,794 as they got to hear our story. 1838 01:33:42,794 --> 01:33:44,534 And that's all I have. 1839 01:33:44,534 --> 01:33:49,487 Thank you Ty, can Councilmember Garcia, thank you. 1840 01:33:49,487 --> 01:33:51,701 I wanted to ask our team. 1841 01:33:51,701 --> 01:33:54,674 So once upon a time when we used to have the Rule 66 parade, 1842 01:33:54,674 --> 01:34:00,077 I know that our local buses because we had internal staff 1843 01:34:00,077 --> 01:34:04,814 drive them, would provide transportation from South 1844 01:34:04,814 --> 01:34:06,974 of Huntington to the picnic and we 1845 01:34:06,974 --> 01:34:08,654 had to look at this route, a fixed route 1846 01:34:08,654 --> 01:34:09,794 that would take folks. 1847 01:34:09,794 --> 01:34:12,734 I saw at the recent new dawning newsletter 1848 01:34:12,734 --> 01:34:14,924 that snow night has been moved when Country Park. 1849 01:34:14,924 --> 01:34:18,044 And it makes sense because we no longer have the full experience 1850 01:34:18,044 --> 01:34:20,137 they field due to construction. 1851 01:34:20,137 --> 01:34:23,834 And it might be challenging having foothill transit, 1852 01:34:23,834 --> 01:34:25,668 but can we look into a possibility 1853 01:34:25,668 --> 01:34:34,814 of offering some transportation for snow night December? 1854 01:34:34,814 --> 01:34:36,434 We can definitely look into that, 1855 01:34:36,434 --> 01:34:40,304 given that it's in December, we might even be able to talk. 1856 01:34:40,304 --> 01:34:43,484 The vendor who we are looking out for might go transit 1857 01:34:43,484 --> 01:34:47,474 to bring a sample for us So maybe we can do something 1858 01:34:47,474 --> 01:34:50,114 like that, because I do think that there are limitations 1859 01:34:50,114 --> 01:34:53,594 with foothill Transit using their buses 1860 01:34:53,594 --> 01:34:55,094 for those types of events. 1861 01:34:55,094 --> 01:34:56,834 But we can look into that also. 1862 01:34:56,834 --> 01:34:59,748 I'm just thinking, given that traditionally, the event has 1863 01:34:59,748 --> 01:35:01,552 been obviously a lot of the seniors 1864 01:35:01,552 --> 01:35:04,398 that live around there might have difficulty getting to them. 1865 01:35:04,398 --> 01:35:05,174 Thank you. 1866 01:35:05,174 --> 01:35:06,494 You so much. 1867 01:35:06,494 --> 01:35:09,284 I do want to give kudos to Councilmember Truong 1868 01:35:09,284 --> 01:35:12,170 for connecting that we are the team with our team 1869 01:35:12,170 --> 01:35:16,334 and doing this job fair for the next couple of weeks 1870 01:35:16,334 --> 01:35:21,044 as a as an intention to get local talent 1871 01:35:21,044 --> 01:35:24,734 to work in the community So thank you for doing that. 1872 01:35:24,734 --> 01:35:27,164 I heard a lot of great things about your panel 1873 01:35:27,164 --> 01:35:28,904 I contract cities from other like this 1874 01:35:28,904 --> 01:35:32,744 from neighboring cities We put something on social media 1875 01:35:32,744 --> 01:35:34,604 and people were writing back on my story. 1876 01:35:34,604 --> 01:35:38,534 So thank you for doing that Thanks again to Senator Rubio. 1877 01:35:38,534 --> 01:35:41,234 Thanks to our public safety department 1878 01:35:41,234 --> 01:35:44,864 helped us out this past week with it was a GTA, right? 1879 01:35:44,864 --> 01:35:46,834 And an abandoned vehicle. 1880 01:35:46,834 --> 01:35:47,834 And you guys were right on it. 1881 01:35:47,834 --> 01:35:50,111 And so back to the constituents in you 1882

appreciate each and every one of you. 1885 01:35:56,354 --> 01:35:58,004 And Mayor, you've been working hard on getting 1886 01:35:58,004 --> 01:35:59,534 sponsorships for the parade. 1887 01:35:59,534 --> 01:36:00,764 So thank you so much. 1888 01:36:00,764 --> 01:36:04,454 Some have come through We still are taking sponsorships. 1889 01:36:04,454 --> 01:36:07,364 We have over ten bands that are going to be coming out on this 1890 01:36:07,364 --> 01:36:11,864 100th of the centennial of history of Route 66 I can't wait 1891 01:36:11,864 --> 01:36:14,684 to see the street first and the car show and the grand 1892 01:36:14,684 --> 01:36:16,094 marshal and everybody come out. 1893 01:36:16,094 --> 01:36:17,654 So with that. 1894 01:36:17,654 --> 01:36:18,854 Have a good night. 1895 01:36:18,854 --> 01:36:22,724 Holy Councilmember Caldera I went ahead 1896 01:36:22,724 --> 01:36:27,044 and attended the DC c c meeting this past month 1897 01:36:27,044 --> 01:36:28,754 with Councilmember Garcia here. 1898 01:36:28,754 --> 01:36:31,304 It was their first in-person meeting in a while 1899 01:36:31,304 --> 01:36:32,534 It was really well attended. 1900 01:36:32,534 --> 01:36:33,734 There are some people that wanted 1901 01:36:33,734 --> 01:36:36,224 to get involved with the city that attended as well. 1902 01:36:36,224 --> 01:36:39,198 I feel like it's a great group to join in. 1903 01:36:39,198 --> 01:36:41,255 It's they all work in different groups. 1904 01:36:41,255 --> 01:36:43,481 And they know everything that's going on in the city. 1905 01:36:43,481 --> 01:36:45,126 And they also help you connect with other groups, 1906 01:36:45,126 --> 01:36:46,097 you might want to join. 1907 01:36:46,097 --> 01:36:48,644 So I encourage everyone to go out there and join them. 1908 01:36:48,644 --> 01:36:51,614 Aside from that, I encourage everyone to go to the parade 1909 01:36:51,614 --> 01:36:52,274 every year. 1910 01:36:52,274 --> 01:36:53,264 It's really well attended. 1911 01:36:53,264 --> 01:36:55,094 A lot of people really, really missed it. 1912 01:36:55,094 --> 01:36:55,694 While it was gone. 1913 01:36:55,694 --> 01:36:57,584 So please, please go ahead and attend. 1914 01:36:57,584 --> 01:36:59,984 We can only put on these events if we see that the community 1915 01:36:59,984 --> 01:37:01,364 really enjoys them. 1916 01:37:01,364 --> 01:37:02,024 And with that. 1917 01:37:02,024 --> 01:37:03,775 Have a great night, guys. 1918 01:37:03,775 --> 01:37:05,774 Councilmember finley, Thank you. 1919 01:37:05,774 --> 01:37:12,404 Has anybody ever found Tim Lowry The original route 66 person? 1920 01:37:12,404 --> 01:37:13,701 Anybody ? 1921 01:37:13,701 --> 01:37:16,541 You know, They were talking about him at the last meeting. 1922 01:37:16,541 --> 01:37:17,633 I know he moved. 1923 01:37:17,633 --> 01:37:22,589 I think it was near Temecula but it was Yeah, it'd 1924 01:37:22,589 --> 01:37:26,504 be great to have him come back because he's the one that stood 1925 01:37:26,504 --> 01:37:28,694 up there at the microphone and just said, 1926 01:37:28,694 --> 01:37:30,494 I think a parade would be a great thing. 1927 01:37:30,494 --> 01:37:35,444 And I think everybody kind of looked like okay, 1928 01:37:35,444 --> 01:37:42,374 but he was he was a definitely a force behind it So let's see. 1929 01:37:42,374 --> 01:37:45,284 And before I forget to say it next Monday, 1930 01:37:45,284 --> 01:37:46,814 you don't have to cook. 1931 01:37:46,814 --> 01:37:52,064 Go to the habit and all of the 20% of the proceeds will go 1932 01:37:52,064 --> 01:37:56,234 to our schools So if you don't feel like cooking, 1933 01:37:56,234 --> 01:38:01,034 go to the habit next Monday on the 14th. 1934 01:38:01,034 --> 01:38:05,144 A couple of things that I attended One of them was 1935 01:38:05,144 --> 01:38:09,064 the Regional Council for , which I you know, 1936 01:38:09,064 --> 01:38:13,544 sit on that and we had two people right now, 1937 01:38:13,544 --> 01:38:17,984 has been charged with transfer station demand management 1938 01:38:17,984 --> 01:38:23,774 for the Olympics We had Stephanie Wiggins, 1939 01:38:23,774 --> 01:38:28,527 who was the CEO of , and Darryl Johnson, not of Metro, 1940 01:38:28,527 --> 01:38:35,834 and Darryl johnson, who was the CEO of AC DC They talked about 1941 01:38:35,834 --> 01:38:40,874 kind of some things that went wrong with the world Cup and how 1942 01:38:40,874 --> 01:38:43,574 that needs to be changed for the Olympics, 1943 01:38:43,574 --> 01:38:47,474 because basically the World Cup, I think they had eight events. 1944 01:38:47,474 --> 01:38:48,854 Is that what they said ? 1945 01:38:48,854 --> 01:38:52,904 Yeah, there were eight events for the world Cup here 1946 01:38:52,904 --> 01:38:56,624 and 800 events are going to be here for the Olympics. 1947 01:38:56,624 --> 01:39:01,214 So we really have to be moving people. 1948 01:39:01,214 --> 01:39:03,974 Around the region. 1949 01:39:03,974 --> 01:39:11,174 One of the things that they quoted was in 1984, basically 1950 01:39:11,174 --> 01:39:15,974 they threw out everything after it was over. 1951 01:39:15,974 --> 01:39:21,224 And Tom Bradley said, let the traffic begin 1952 01:39:21,224 --> 01:39:23,714 And it did, because during the period 1953 01:39:23,714 --> 01:39:27,644 of time when we had the Olympics here, there was no traffic. 1954 01:39:27,644 --> 01:39:31,574 It was absolutely delightful So anyway, 1955 01:39:31,574 --> 01:39:33,614 what they're looking at is they're going to improve 1956 01:39:33,614 --> 01:39:38,114 the wayfinding And so people that are driving they will be 1957 01:39:38,114 --> 01:39:39,885 able to find their way around L.A. 1958 01:39:39,885 --> 01:39:43,094 and there's going to have to be a lot of coordination between 1959 01:39:43,094 --> 01:39:47,714 transit agencies as and it's something that's kind 1960 01:39:47,714 --> 01:39:54,866 of interesting is they didn't have the transportation Like 1961 01:39:54,866 --> 01:39:57,773 if you had a game that started at 4, 1962 01:39:57,773 --> 01:40:01,094 they went ahead and had the transportation 1963 01:40:01,094 --> 01:40:03,584 ramped up around 3:00. 1964 01:40:03,584 --> 01:40:07,994 And then after the game But what they were finding 1965 01:40:07,994 --> 01:40:09,824 was everybody wanted to party. 1966 01:40:09,824 --> 01:40:14,924 So taking ramping up transportation an hour ahead 1967 01:40:14,924 --> 01:40:17,204 of time was not going to do it. 1968 01:40:17,204 --> 01:40:21,224 So they said for the Olympics, people want to party. 1969 01:40:21,224 --> 01:40:22,814 So they're going to have to remain 1970 01:40:22,814 --> 01:40:28,191 flexible and see where people are going and at what time. 1971 01:40:28,191 --> 01:40:32,234 Which I thought was kind of an interesting thing 1972 01:40:32,234 --> 01:40:35,024 because that never would have occurred to me. 1973 01:40:35,024 --> 01:40:38,864 But we need to act regionally and not in silos 1974 01:40:38,864 --> 01:40:39,944 is what they're saying. 1975 01:40:39,944 --> 01:40:42,164 And we have to speak with one voice 1976 01:40:42,164 --> 01:40:45,458 to represent the transportation for Los Angeles. 1977 01:40:45,458 --> 01:40:48,524 Right now, I think they're looking at the next six 1978 01:40:48,524 --> 01:40:51,584 months trying to secure the federal funding 1979 01:40:51,584 --> 01:40:53,174 or transportation in here. 1980 01:40:53,174 --> 01:40:55,274 And if they don't get it, then the state's 1981 01:40:55,274 --> 01:40:56,714 got to come up with something really 1982 01:40:56,714 --> 01:41:01,934 fast The fan zones, they want to make sure that they have 1983 01:41:01,934 --> 01:41:06,644 transit, which is adjacent to those something 1984 01:41:06,644 --> 01:41:10,334 else they wanted to do, too, was maybe include food. 1985 01:41:10,334 --> 01:41:14,324 The cost of transporting ration in the price of a ticket. 1986 01:41:14,324 --> 01:41:19,316 They thought that might be helpful uh, let's see. 1987 01:41:19,316 --> 01:41:20,748 Seana Elias from Glendora. 1988 01:41:20,748 --> 01:41:25,334 I'm sure many of you know her She said she was really 1989 01:41:25,334 --> 01:41:31,484 concerned about the safety on the line for all of this They 1990 01:41:31,484 --> 01:41:37,094 said for the crime is down, homelessness is down 40% 1991 01:41:37,094 --> 01:41:44,384 on the line And people will need to know where to ticket 1992 01:41:44,384 --> 01:41:46,034 holders are from. 1993 01:41:46,034 --> 01:41:49,274 So that's going to be important because of where they have to be 1994 01:41:49,274 --> 01:41:54,404 transported to law enforcement. 1995 01:41:54,404 --> 01:41:55,214 I was interesting. 1996 01:41:55,214 --> 01:41:56,684 They talked about law enforcement 1997 01:41:56,684 --> 01:42:00,434 on our transit agencies and then some people 1998 01:42:00,434 --> 01:42:02,414 said some people feel safer. 1999 01:42:02,414 --> 01:42:05,534 Some it makes some people more nervous to have the law 2000 01:42:05,534 --> 01:42:10,064 enforcement carrying guns They also oops, sorry, 2001 01:42:10,064 --> 01:42:11,084 I'm going over on this. 2002 01:42:11,084 --> 01:42:13,975 But this really this is a two hour presentation, 2003 01:42:13,975 --> 01:42:16,244 you guys at yourself on the buzzer. 2004 01:42:16,244 --> 01:42:19,538 So you know what's there Oh, I'm like, you didn't. 2005 01:42:19,538 --> 01:42:20,162 You saved me. 2006 01:42:20,162 --> 01:42:20,662 OK. 2007 01:42:20,662 --> 01:42:21,774 You know, go ahead You want to. 2008 01:42:21,774 --> 01:42:22,274 I'll. 2009 01:42:22,274 --> 01:42:23,024 I'll just. 2010 01:42:23,024 --> 01:42:25,364 I'll sum it up here. 2011 01:42:25,364 --> 01:42:28,046 So let's see the funding. 2012 01:42:28,046 --> 01:42:28,814 OK. 2013 01:42:28,814 --> 01:42:31,544 So the end of the calendar year, we 2014 01:42:31,544 --> 01:42:33,974 will know whether we're going to get the federal funds 2015 01:42:33,974 --> 01:42:39,134 and we need funding specific to the games and all it. 2016 01:42:39,134 --> 01:42:43,724 Brian, if he wants to talk about the El Niño, our prep today 2017 01:42:43,724 --> 01:42:45,584 we've got that coming up there were 2018 01:42:45,584 --> 01:42:50,324 215 people on line today for that 2019 01:42:50,324 --> 01:42:52,214 So that was pretty interesting stuff. 2020 01:42:52,214 --> 01:42:56,184 And basically we got to we have to be ready for it. 2021 01:42:56,184 --> 01:42:56,984 So that's it. 2022 01:42:56,984 --> 01:42:57,584 Thank you. 2023 01:42:57,584 --> 01:43:04,414 You, Councilmember Tom This last past weekend. 2024 01:43:04,414 --> 01:43:10,214 I attended the contracts Education Summit as our city 2025 01:43:10,214 --> 01:43:13,934 manager of us was talking about I was part 2026 01:43:13,934 --> 01:43:18,224 of a panel regarding the Tri-Cities North San 2027 01:43:18,224 --> 01:43:20,624 Gabriel Riverbed working group. 2028 01:43:20,624 --> 01:43:25,274 It's a mouthful, so I can't wait for the JPA forums 2029 01:43:25,274 --> 01:43:29,294 and you know, going to what Assemblyman Finlay said 2030 01:43:29,294 --> 01:43:32,594 on Transportation and being regional to events Well, 2031 01:43:32,594 --> 01:43:37,214 the issue that we deal with in this group is the regional issue 2032 01:43:37,214 --> 01:43:39,291 and isn't just one city. 2033 01:43:39,291 --> 01:43:41,141 I think it's a common issue. 2034 01:43:41,141 --> 01:43:45,254 And I think the way we have been able to work in this group 2035 01:43:45,254 --> 01:43:49,563 since 2020 want to thank, you know, 2036 01:43:49,563 --> 01:43:54,884 Councilmember my pro tem came and former councilwoman Schultz 2037 01:43:54,884 --> 01:43:56,834 for getting together with the Susan heard 2038 01:43:56,834 --> 01:44:01,424 and working on this group and and my colleague over here you 2039 01:44:01,424 --> 01:44:04,544 know Cesar Councilmember Garcia for you 2040 01:44:04,544 --> 01:44:06,014 know part of that group inviting me there 2041 01:44:06,014 --> 01:44:07,574 and all the work that we've done. 2042 01:44:07,574 --> 01:44:12,344 Senator my panel was to answer questions, 2043 01:44:12,344 --> 01:44:14,654 but I was up there just telling the truth. 2044 01:44:14,654 --> 01:44:18,374 So as elected officials being in the same room, sometimes 2045 01:44:18,374 --> 01:44:20,954 we don't stop talking over each other. 2046 01:44:20,954 --> 01:44:24,524 But in this regional working group, this tri cities, 2047 01:44:24,524 --> 01:44:26,864 we actually stopped talking and we listened. 2048 01:44:26,864 --> 01:44:29,534 And that's why progress is happening. 2049 01:44:29,534 --> 01:44:33,014 If there ever was a blueprint for any other cities 2050 01:44:33,014 --> 01:44:36,014 or any other organization is to want to follow on 2051 01:44:36,014 --> 01:44:38,654 how to have three different jurisdiction ins 2052 01:44:38,654 --> 01:44:43,574 two different county supervisors two different public safety 2053 01:44:43,574 --> 01:44:50,115 enforcement groups as well as different Congress congresswoman 2054 01:44:50,115 --> 01:44:53,234 and congressman taking over the retired one 2055 01:44:53,234 --> 01:44:56,084 and how we made all that work. 2056 01:44:56,084 --> 01:44:58,316 I think our city managers from as used to 2057 01:44:58,316 --> 01:45:02,024 and Hurdle have a have a really good manual on how 2058 01:45:02,024 --> 01:45:09,674 to educate people on how we work together and were so successful. 2059 01:45:09,674 --> 01:45:14,414 The other thing I attended last Wednesday 2060 01:45:14,414 --> 01:45:17,534 was the colleagues on this committee 2061 01:45:17,534 --> 01:45:24,024 as well as the in our committee with the homeless committee. 2062 01:45:24,024 --> 01:45:29,834 It's it's the same thing that we continue to encounter. 2063 01:45:29,834 --> 01:45:33,074 But what I find interesting is the county has 2064 01:45:33,074 --> 01:45:36,584 now the US, each department, they're 2065 01:45:36,584 --> 01:45:44,566 trying to really narrow down and specifically service first 2066 01:45:44,566 --> 01:45:47,594 instead of providing beds because it just seems 2067 01:45:47,594 --> 01:45:49,574 like there's a lot of organizations out there 2068 01:45:49,574 --> 01:45:52,094 that are providing beds. 2069 01:45:52,094 --> 01:45:56,444 But knowing which type of bed to place these homeless individuals 2070 01:45:56,444 --> 01:45:58,425 and is the most important thing. 2071 01:45:58,425 --> 01:46:01,064 So they were talking about that and then 2072 01:46:01,064 --> 01:46:08,294 the cog in our committee, they talked about zero emissions 2073 01:46:08,294 --> 01:46:11,354 vehicle for the public sector and Kristen, 2074 01:46:11,354 --> 01:46:14,564 I don't know if you have any idea 2075 01:46:14,564 --> 01:46:20,710 on what car is trying to enforce which 2076 01:46:20,710 --> 01:46:24,494 is the California Air Yeah. 2077 01:46:24,494 --> 01:46:28,904 Research board regarding the number amount of fleets 2078 01:46:28,904 --> 01:46:32,354 that we already have certain number 2079 01:46:32,354 --> 01:46:37,184 of those certain number of that fleet becoming Zev 2080 01:46:37,184 --> 01:46:38,744 zero emission vehicles. 2081 01:46:38,744 --> 01:46:40,154 So I push back on that guy. 2082 01:46:40,154 --> 01:46:42,524 I asked about the public private sector, 2083 01:46:42,524 --> 01:46:45,067 what about are these dredge trucks and logistics companies? 2084 01:46:45,067 --> 01:46:47,279 And he said, well, they appeal it. 2085 01:46:47,279 --> 01:46:51,434 And I said, I want to do the same because the mass, 2086 01:46:51,434 --> 01:46:55,424 the mass polluters, those are the logistics companies 2087 01:46:55,424 --> 01:46:56,444 and insurance companies. 2088 01:46:56,444 --> 01:47:02,054 So they're supposed to provide us numbers regarding 2089 01:47:02,054 --> 01:47:05,054 public entities, municipalities public vehicles 2090 01:47:05,054 --> 01:47:09,284 versus the private sectors, the logistics trucks and the trash 2091 01:47:09,284 --> 01:47:10,964 trucks mass polluters. 2092 01:47:10,964 --> 01:47:13,994 I personally think it's the private 2093 01:47:13,994 --> 01:47:18,079 but obviously, we know why their appeal went through. 2094 01:47:18,079 --> 01:47:20,664 And now they're just trying to target us, which 2095 01:47:20,664 --> 01:47:21,734 I personally think it's unfair. 2096 01:47:21,734 --> 01:47:24,914 So I'm going to be pushing and advocating for them to slow down 2097 01:47:24,914 --> 01:47:29,294 on that and really targeting the private sector because first 2098 01:47:29,294 --> 01:47:31,454 of all, I think they're the ones that 2099 01:47:31,454 --> 01:47:36,824 need to deal with Besides that, I again, want to reiterate thank 2100 01:47:36,824 --> 01:47:41,284 you to staff and specifically Emmanuel Ryan 2101 01:47:41,284 --> 01:47:45,824 for making the various job fair possible. 2102 01:47:45,824 --> 01:47:48,554 And i encourage all residents in the door 2103 01:47:48,554 --> 01:47:50,418 to the door to even if you're not looking for a job, 2104 01:47:50,418 --> 01:47:54,342 just stop on and come on by and see what viruses have to offer. 2105 01:47:54,342 --> 01:47:55,104 Thank you. 2106 01:47:55,104 --> 01:47:55,604 You, guys. 2107 01:47:55,604 --> 01:47:57,404 It starts tomorrow, I believe, Wednesday 2108

been a rocky history 2119 01:48:22,034 --> 01:48:25,424 and that they're just very relieved to see 2120 01:48:25,424 --> 01:48:26,924 these relationships growing. 2121 01:48:26,924 --> 01:48:29,144
