a painted arc bridged the

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
skies. A child puddling in

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
puddles, shrieked.

361
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000

368
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000

577
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000

00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000

603
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
>> mayor,

604
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
we have four speakers here in the

605
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
chamber. Our

606
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
first speaker for public comment is mike grant.

607
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,400
>> mike, please come forward.

608
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
>> good evening. Mike grant,

609
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
unlimited firearms training in dublin,

610
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
and I want to put a thanks to

611
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
colleen for being so proactive on what I'm

612
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
going to talk about tonight.

613
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
with these fires in l.a. That we've

614
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
had going down there, the west hills

615
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,400
of dublin and the

616
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
east hills are really in a fire

617
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
danger about june or july for

618
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
this district. And my concern is

619
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
the ranchers. Shortly

620
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
probably within may, I'm going to

621
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
be cutting firebreaks on

622
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,000
my ranch up where I train people to

623
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
shoot at. And I'm

624
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
cutting 50 feet out. I want to know

625
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
if there is an ordinance for

626
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
that, a county ordinance, a city

627
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
ordinance, things like this to cut

628
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
back, because the fields, the fence

629
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
lines,

630
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
we've got houses that back up on the east

631
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
and west side. I've already talked

632
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
to oes. They have no rule. They have

633
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,000
nothing set up for

634
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
that in the city, which is fine. It's

635
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000
the county. But we

636
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000
have no evacuation plan at all in

637
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
the city. Colleen

638
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
is going to be working on that, I'm

639
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
sure, which is great.

640
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
I think we need to have a road map

641
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
of something off these hills

642
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
to get where we need to go.

643
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
they make road signs. I've sent stuff

644
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000
again to colleen. I thank her very

645
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
much for being

646
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
proactive on this, that lead these

647
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
people off

648
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
the hills where we're in the smoke.

649
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
if you've ever driven in fog, it's pretty

650
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
bad

651
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
at night. You can miss an exit real

652
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
quick.

653
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
so I know we have camp parks.

654
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
they have a fire department. You know,

655
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
I come back to where

656
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
is the evacuation centers could be.

657
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
you know, this

658
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,000
kind of stuff needs to be put up on

659
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,000
the

660
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
dublin web page or maybe we have the

661
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
app, the emergency app. I believe it's

662
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
a county app.

663
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,000
but I suggest that we --I'd like to

664
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
see

665
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
us put some kind of a task force or

666
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,000
a workshop together controlled by

667
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
the city to go over that and invite

668
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,600
people in to talk about this.

669
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000
we got until probably june, maybe

670
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
may. It depends

671
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
on the weather. If we get more rain,

672
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
we'll be

673
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
okay. But just today, I was up

674
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
in the dolland park, and the

675
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
nielsen cattle have come down. There

676
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
are no more pigs.

677
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
they're right down to the fence line right

678
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
here. That's obviously a

679
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
canal that goes all the way up the

680
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000
hill.

681
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
and underneath those trees just in

682
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000
the park, I think

683
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
the city needs to start looking at

684
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
some of this stuff. There is a

685
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
lot of vegetation under these trees,

686
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
and especially with the

687
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,000
bark. And you know it in the l.a.

688
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
fires, it's

689
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
been bouncing from house to house

690
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
to house. It just wasn't the

691
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
weeds burning. It just jump-started

692
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
the

693
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
houses and took out the neighborhoods.

694
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000
and there is a good chance we

695
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
could have something like that in

696
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
dublin. And I just think we need to

697
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
be proactive. Thank you. And again, thank you, colleen.

698
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
>> thank you, mike. I know we

699
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
have already talk about

700
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
we will do some update about

701
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
this fire next agenda item.

702
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
>> mayor and councilmembers, I want

703
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
to thank mike for being

704
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
in contact with me about his concerns,

705
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
and we've heard

706
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
from some other community members.

707
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
we will

708
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
have a presentation from the fire

709
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
department.

710
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000
it's currently planned for the second meeting

711
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
in february, february

712
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
18th. So I've heard the

713
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
concerns, and we'll address them then.

714
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,000
>> okay, thank

715
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
you. I know we have another speaker?

716
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000
>> yes, mayor.

717
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,600
the next speaker is shirley lewandowski.

718
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
>> good evening. My

719
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
name is shirley lewandowski

720
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
and a long-term resident of dublin.

721
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
a

722
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
primary concern of many candidates

723
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
this last election

724
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
wasn't in regards to public safety.

725
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
in light of the awful tragedies of

726
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
fires happening in southern california,

727
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
I'm wondering if our neighborhoods

728
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
are

729
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
all --have all proper evacuation paths

730
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
to

731
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
safety. According to cal

732
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
fire, the california department of

733
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
forestry and fire protection,

734
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
dublin is considered to be in a fire

735
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
hazard

736
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
area. Dublin falls within the fire

737
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
hazard severity zones. These zones

738
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
classify

739
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
areas based on potential wildfire.

740
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
and dublin

741
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
is categorized as having a high

742
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
fire hazard severity. Cal fire states

743
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
it is important

744
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
to take precautions if you live near

745
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
or

746
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
in dublin, such as maintaining

747
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,000
defensible space around your property

748
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,200
and having an evacuation plan in place.

749
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
the diablo winds in our area

750
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
are just like the santa ana winds

751
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
in the l.a. Area. There

752
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
are recorded instances when the diablo

753
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
winds have

754
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000
reached as high as 80 miles per hour.

755
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,400
so we are vulnerable.

756
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
I

757
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
ask in the next city council meeting,

758
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
which mike beat me to it, but I'm asking

759
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
for it to be in

760
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
the next city council meeting that

761
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
the fire department present a current

762
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
and transparent assessment

763
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
and map of all the evacuation paths

764
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
in

765
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
the city so residents are aware where

766
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,400
the areas are good

767
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
and areas where it needs improvement.

768
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
it is important for us to be more

769
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
proactive now to ensure dublin residents

770
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
are well

771
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,000
prepared and informed as much as possible

772
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
and not reactive

773
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
to impending danger should an

774
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
overwhelming catastrophic fire situation

775
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
occur as sadly happened in southern california.

776
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
thank you.

777
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
>> thank you, shirley. And we are working

778
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,000
on

779
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000
this. Thanks. Next?

780
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
>> yes, mayor, the next speaker

781
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
is john cameron.

782
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
>> hi, john

783
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
cameron, long-time resident. More of the same

784
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
for me. I didn't know it was

785
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
going to be like this here tonight.

786
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
but the last time I

787
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000
spoke here, one of the things I brought up

788
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
was the possibility of

789
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
a firestorm here in dublin. With recent

790
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
events, I

791
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
feel compelled to speak out once again.

792
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
dublin has been overdeveloped.

793
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
this body has been a vessel in creating

794
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
a developer's

795
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,600
paradise. The density of structure, for

796
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
example, east of dougherty and south of

797
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
camp parks

798
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
is where a firestorm could really

799
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
thrive. Aging

800
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
infrastructure in west dublin with

801
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
above ground utility

802
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,000
lines and the tense warm winds blowing

803
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
make the threat

804
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,000
very real if few other conditions

805
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
are met. Last time I was

806
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
here, this council approved yet another

807
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
development and

808
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,000
was discussing changes for an escape

809
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
route where

810
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
cars could exit the area in an orderly

811
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,000
manner.

812
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
I don't think you've ever been in

813
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
a firestorm. I would like

814
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
to point out some reality about conditions

815
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
in a

816
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,000
firestorm. Visibility, for one. Almost

817
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
none.

818
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
sound, overwhelming, engulfs you.

819
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
smell, you can't breathe most of the

820
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
time.

821
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,000
extreme heat like you've never felt

822
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000
before.

823
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
and it's right under your skin. You

824
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
can feel it.

825
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,000
chaos and mass panic. You saw all

826
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,000
the

827
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
cars that were piled up. They had

828
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
to use bulldozers to get them

829
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
out. That's what happens. People lose their head.

830
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
few keep their calm. Frankly, I don't

831
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
have a lot of confidence

832
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,000
in our city's government through my own

833
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,000
personal experiences.

834
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
I don't believe you consider our input

835
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,000
or have much respect for what

836
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
many residents think, feel, or want.

837
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
virtually every

838
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
neighbor I know thinks dublin is vastly

839
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
overbuilt,

840
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,000
and it seems like every time something

841
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,000
comes

842
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000
down, high density structures go up

843
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000
in its place, which developers happen to profit the most from.

844
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000
that's

845
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
coincidence, I guess. Instead, maybe

846
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
next time a

847
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
big park with trees would be nice,

848
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,600
and would benefit all of us.

849
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
it's irresponsible to the point

850
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,000
where --oh, wait, I'm sorry. Have I

851
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
one more thing to say about

852
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
the potholes. I mean, this city

853
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
can't even fix the pothole that's

854
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
been here

855
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
since july 4th over in front

856
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
of sprouts. I have pictures of it.

857
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
july 4th.

858
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
six months. This has been going on for six

859
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
months.

860
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
I've seen this out here. So

861
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
if we can't fix this, what makes us

862
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
think

863
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
that we can do other things that are

864
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,000
much bigger? Like the extension we had

865
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
on dougherty that

866
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
took as long as pretty much the bay bridge to

867
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,400
be built. I watched

868
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
that thing for years

869
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
take flight, and it just never seemed to get done.

870
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
so

871
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I don't have much confidence.

872
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
I don't think we should extend out

873
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
to livermore. I think

874
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
that's a big mistake financially.

875
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
I think it's going to

876
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
cost us somewhere, somehow, some way.

877
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
I don't think we've thought that through

878
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
at all.

879
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
and I

880
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
thought that the

881
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
eye eye initiative was disingenuous.

882
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
frankly deceptive for most people.

883
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
they wouldn't vote on it if they really knew.

884
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
I know my time is up. Thank you. Oh,

885
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
city manager,

886
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
would you like these pictures?

887
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,000
>> thank you, john.

888
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,600
>> you can reach out. >> thank you.

889
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,200
>> mayor, the next speaker is angela tucker.

890
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
>> honorable mayor,

891
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
councilmembers and city staff, happy new

892
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
year to all of you and

893
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000
good evening. My name is angela tucker.

894
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
I'm a 15-

895
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
year resident of dublin. First of

896
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
all, thank

897
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
you all for what you do for us here

898
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
as residents. And my

899
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
comments are on a similar topic on

900
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
fire preparedness. Having watched

901
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
the news and social media reports

902
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
of the

903
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
fire disasters unfold down in l.a.

904
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
, I've

905
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
been really struck by how many of

906
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
the

907
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,000
contributing factors to the firestorms

908
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
were previously identified in the

909
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
paradise

910
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
camp and the lahaina fires, but clearly

911
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
not addressed by

912
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
the l.a. City government six years

913
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
after paradise and almost two

914
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
years after lahaina. I have

915
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
a lot more confidence in you

916
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
all, having met many of you, than

917
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
I have

918
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
in the l.a. City government, but I

919
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
am

920
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
similar to other speakers. I was also

921
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
going to

922
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
request an agenda item and one of

923
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
the next city council meetings. So

924
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
I appreciate that

925
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
you're already scheduling that. It would

926
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,400
be nice to see

927
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
updates to the fire management plans

928
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
and

929
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
to review many, many of the factors

930
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
that

931
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,400
are known already like

932
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,400
water supply to the

933
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
hydrants, do

934
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
our hydrants actually work when there is no

935
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
electricity, vegetation, clearing

936
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
schedules with firebreaks,

937
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
code enforcement, weed abatement.

938
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
I can maybe

939
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,000
talk to mike a little bit about weed

940
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
abatement in district 1.

941
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
then it seems pg&e does not always

942
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
deenergize the lines. Do we have a process

943
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
where that can

944
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
be confirmed with them when we have

945
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,400
our next high wind

946
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
event. And

947
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
finally, two points about arson.

948
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,000
it seems certainly that l.a. Really

949
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,400
has suffered from a

950
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
lot of arson. We've seen that over

951
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
the

952
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
hills in the oakland area also. A

953
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
lot

954
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
of arson there, not just recently.

955
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
other things that we could do for

956
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
some

957
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
kind of surveillance over the

958
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,000
nighttime so that arson fires could

959
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
be caught more

960
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000
quickly. And then something that I

961
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000
found

962
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000
deeply depressing reading about paradise

963
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
was that

964
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
in paradise, as low as

965
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,000
5% of residents got notifications

966
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
from

967
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
their evacuation warnings.

968
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
shocking, in some areas, and even

969
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,400
in areas where people

970
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,000
had signed up for emergency

971
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,800
notifications as low as 25% of people got notifications.

972
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000
so I would ask if we could

973
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
perhaps review for

974
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000
our residents, older residents, residents

975
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,000
with handicaps, how we could ensure

976
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
that

977
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
they will be notified in the case

978
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
of

979
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
any emergency situation. Thank you

980
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,400
very much for your

981
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
consideration.

982
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000
>> thank you, angela.

983
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,000
thank you.

984
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000
and thanks for all the comments. And

985
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
we are working on this

986
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
fire preparedness, and we'll get

987
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,000
things to the residents. And let's

988
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
move

989
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
to the next

990
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
agenda item 5, consent calendar.

991
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
so consent calendar are typically

992
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,000
noncontroversial in nature and are

993
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
considered

994
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
for approval by the city council with

995
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
one single action. So I want to ask

996
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000
my councilmembers do you have questions

997
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
about any items in the

998
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
consent calendar?

999
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
and I actually

1000
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,400
have a question about 5.2.

1001
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
>> madame mayor -->> I have

1002
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000
public comment for 5.2 as well.

1003
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
>> okay.

1004
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
any other comments or

1005
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
questions?

1006
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
>> yes. Madame mayor? >>

1007
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
yeah, please.

1008
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
>> I

1009
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,400
do have questions on 5. 6

1010
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
and 5.7.

1011
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
>>

1012
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
5. 6 and?

1013
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
>> 5.7.

1014
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
>> oh, 5.7.

1015
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
questions or comments?

1016
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,000
>> questions.

1017
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
>> questions? Okay.

1018
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
so questions of this too.

1019
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
I have a comments for

1020
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,000
5.2.

1021
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000
>> want to move the remainder of

1022
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,000
the calendar?

1023
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
>> okay. >> make a motion to move.

1024
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,000
>> in

1025
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
a second.

1026
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000
>> the remainder of the

1027
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
calendar for 5.

1028
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
6, 5.7.

1029
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,000
>> and 5.2.

1030
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,000
>> second the motion. >> okay. >>

1031
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,000
so we have

1032
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
a first and second. And let's have a roll call.

1033
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
>> councilmember morada?

1034
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
>> hi. >>

1035
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000

1036
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
>> iowa. >> councilmember

1037
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
quadry.

1038
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
>> aye. >> mr. Hill.

1039
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
>> motion passed. And we'll come back

1040
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
to agenda item 5.2, annual proclamation.

1041
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
so marsha, you said you have comments on

1042
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
that too,

1043
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
right?

1044
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
>> I have a speaker slip on

1045
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
that, public comment.

1046
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
.

1047
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
>> we'll get a speaker first?

1048
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,000
>> yes. Okay. So brent

1049
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,400
sanji will make a public comment on this item.

1050
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
>> hello. So the list of proclamations

1051
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000
is incredibly long. There is one for

1052
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
the month of june

1053
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
about raising a flag, and the flag

1054
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
is considered controversial.

1055
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
so you know the consent calendars

1056
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
for items that

1057
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
are considered noncontroversial in

1058
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
nature. So you need to

1059
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
remove that item from the consent

1060
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,000
calendar and

1061
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000
make it its own separate agenda item.

1062
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
there is two

1063
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
council meetings in the month of may.

1064
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
so you can pick one of those days to do

1065
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
it.

1066
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
for the whole history of our

1067
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,000
city, up until 2019, we always flew

1068
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
three flags.

1069
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
no resident ever had a problem with

1070
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
it. Nobody

1071
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,000
complained about it and requested to fly

1072
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,000
another flag.

1073
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
everything changed in 2019. There is a

1074
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
small group of residents who wanted

1075
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
to fly their

1076
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
flag. It immediately became controversial.

1077
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
our city was on the news. We

1078
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,000
got attacked. We were smeared. They

1079
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
said all these

1080
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
bad things about it. Mostly it was

1081
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
not true at all. So I don't

1082
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
know why we're doing this flag. We

1083
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
should make the three

1084
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
flags the policy. That's what we did for

1085
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
the longest time.

1086
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,000
everyone agreed on it. And then we

1087
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
introduced this new

1088
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
thing. Not everyone agrees on it, and

1089
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000
it's controversial. So if you want

1090
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
to do

1091
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
it, make it its own separate agenda

1092
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
item and tell us

1093
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
why you want to do it and allow the

1094
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
public to speak on

1095
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
it. Thanks.

1096
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000
>> thank you for the comment.

1097
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
I have a comment is

1098
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
I want to see if we

1099
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
can have a recognition for the cricket

1100
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
game, because

1101
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
our cricket teams students have done

1102
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
excellent job in

1103
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
the city of dublin and the tri-valley

1104
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
area. And as a matter of

1105
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
fact, right

1106
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
now we have girls to play

1107
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000
in the international games in

1108
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
malaysia representing the u.s.

1109
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
u-19 team. And we're so proud of them.

1110
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,000
so I

1111
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
want to propose

1112
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
we make july as a month for the

1113
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
cricket, because the cricket is special

1114
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
for us, and

1115
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,400
also I checked withwith

1116
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
cricket coach, and

1117
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
july is a month have

1118
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
international games for cricket and

1119
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
also it's a

1120
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
good time to celebrate. So I just

1121
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
talked to

1122
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,000
the coach of the cricket

1123
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
and that is the month we think is good for

1124
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
cricket.

1125
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
so I want to make this comment

1126
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
here, not for today, but

1127
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
maybe we'll come back for the next

1128
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
time.

1129
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,200
that's my comment I want to make.

1130
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,000
>>

1131
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
mayor?

1132
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
>> if

1133
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
I might, I agree we should be recognizing cricket in the

1134
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,000
city of

1135
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
dublin when we have a tournament win,

1136
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
when we have our youth that are appointed

1137
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,000
to

1138
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
the national team and things like

1139
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
that. But the proclamation 245s are

1140
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
on

1141
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
here are typically months that

1142
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
are recognized either nationally

1143
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,000
or by organizations specifically around

1144
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
a

1145
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000
date that

1146
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
is meaningful beyond the city

1147
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
for, you know, the city recognizing

1148
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
national awareness month and things

1149
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
like that. For me personally,

1150
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000
I would rather not pick an arbitrary

1151
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,000
month for cricket and rather celebrate

1152
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
the accomplishments of

1153
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
dublin residents that are active

1154
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
in cricket at the time that it makes

1155
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
sense for them when

1156
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,000
they get pickford the team, or when

1157
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,000
the team has just won a tournament,

1158
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
and do it not at this time because

1159
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000
when we put them

1160
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
on here, we don't necessarily make

1161
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
the presentation to them. It goes

1162
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,000
on consent, and we move

1163
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
along with it. So I would personally

1164
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
rather we don't add it as

1165
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,000
a month and celebrate it individually

1166
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
when it's appropriate when they win

1167
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,000
a tournament or a student gets recognized

1168
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
to the national team. I think that

1169
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,000
would be more meaningful,

1170
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
in my opinion. So I would rather we don't add

1171
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
it as a month of july.

1172
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
>> I

1173
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
heard your question about the date

1174
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,000
or the

1175
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
month. So july is

1176
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000
the height of international cricket

1177
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
season, especially it's

1178
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
a --it's an

1179
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
international cricket season.

1180
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,000
and also, the reason why the coach

1181
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
talked

1182
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,000
about making these as a new recognition,

1183
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
he has a plan and

1184
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
we talk about this is making a game.

1185
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,000
july have a game will invite

1186
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,000
people's who have never played cricket

1187
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,000
and to play. And

1188
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,000
it will train the people and make the

1189
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
game

1190
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
happen, and we

1191
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,000
also talk about have this with

1192
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
baseball games together because they

1193
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,000
can share the ground. If we make a

1194
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
month, we make a day, and we'll always

1195
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
make

1196
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,000
that like a cricket month for the

1197
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,000
city to always havehave showed interest

1198
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
and

1199
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,400
have never played before

1200
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
or eempb you want play again, to invite

1201
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,400
them to do this. That's a discussion we have.

1202
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,400
>> mayor, I might make

1203
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,000
a suggestion we approve the item

1204
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
as is and get closer to july, we work

1205
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,000
closer to the youth groups so we know

1206
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
what's happening in

1207
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
dublin. If there is some significance

1208
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
to july with international tournaments

1209
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,000
or play that dublin citizens are interested in

1210
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,000
or we

1211
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000
attract a tournament here, then we

1212
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
can work with that group

1213
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,000
to recognize. Whether it's a proclamation

1214
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000
or a

1215
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
certificate of recognition, happy 20

1216
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,000
do that.

1217
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
>> okay.

1218
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,400
>> mayor? So I'd also

1219
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,000
like to explore. I heard both.

1220
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,000
and there is rationalization for acknowledging

1221
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,000
sports in

1222
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,000
general. So I don't want the get too

1223
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
general

1224
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
on this, but maybe we

1225
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,000
can look a little deeper in this,

1226
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,000
and acknowledge the

1227
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:44,000
different sports and identify a certain month for all sports.

1228
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,400
and taking into consideration

1229
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000
councilmembers' thoughts on special

1230
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,000
designations or

1231
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,000
special acknowledgments as well. I'm

1232
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
just throwing my thoughts in

1233
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,000
here on this. And we'll --I'm sure

1234
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,000
we'll talk

1235
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
about this later.

1236
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
>> that makes sense too.

1237
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000
>> okay.

1238
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000
>> having grown

1239
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
up playing cricket, I have a certain

1240
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,000
affinity to

1241
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,000
it, and I think it's a great idea

1242
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
to have more

1243
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,000
engagement and more exposure, awareness

1244
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,000
to cricket as

1245
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,000
a sport. I'm not sure I agree with the

1246
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
timing around july.

1247
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
from a seasonal

1248
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
standpoint, it might make sense.

1249
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,000
we also don't have full agendas the way

1250
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
we

1251
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
normally do. And so maybe it's not the right

1252
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
time.

1253
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
I

1254
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000
would agree with councilmember josey

1255
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000
and that we make it more

1256
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
time-based and appropriate when there

1257
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
is

1258
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,000
a milestone accomplishment or something

1259
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000
worthy

1260
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,000
of that. But I'm happy to explore it at a

1261
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,000
later date as well.

1262
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
>> thank you.

1263
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,000
so john, do you have any comment?

1264
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
>> nothing different than councilmember

1265
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,000
qaadri and councilmember josey. I

1266
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
too come from

1267
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
a family of athletes, and

1268
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
just picking one month for one particular

1269
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,000
sport makes me want to have further

1270
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
conversation.

1271
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
>> excellent.

1272
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,000
so we will approve

1273
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000
this agenda item as is for today.

1274
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,400
and for the recognition

1275
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000
of the sport in general, not only

1276
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
picking

1277
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,000
one sport, and we'll have a further

1278
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,000
discussion in the future. Sounds good?

1279
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,000
okay.

1280
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
so we want

1281
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,000
to go through all the agenda items

1282
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
and

1283
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000
to see if we want

1284
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,000
to pass vote, or do we

1285
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
want --okay. So let's take a motion

1286
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
on 5.2.

1287
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,000
can I have a first and second?

1288
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,000
>>

1289
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
I'll move item

1290
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,000
5. 2 as it stands.

1291
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,000
>> I'll second.

1292
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
>> so

1293
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,000
we have a roll call.

1294
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
>>

1295
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,000
councilmember morada?

1296
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,000
>> aye.

1297
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
>> councilmember mccorriston? >> yes.

1298
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
>> councilmember josey? >> vice

1299
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
mayor qaadri?

1300
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
>> aye.

1301
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,000
>> mayor hill?

1302
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000
>> aye. >> passed unanimously. So

1303
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
we go to item number 5.6.

1304
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,600
5.6 is alameda county fire training center.

1305
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
so

1306
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,000
you have a presentation?

1307
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,000
>> I think

1308
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000
we are just

1309
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,000
going to take the question.

1310
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,000
>> okay.

1311
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
so

1312
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000
john, you have questions?

1313
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,000
>> yes.

1314
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,000
good

1315
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,000
evening, madame mayor and fellow councilmembers.

1316
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
the

1317
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000
question I have for city staff

1318
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,000
are twofold. One is

1319
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,000
at a strategic level, and the other

1320
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,400
is a procedural level.

1321
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
so the first question I have is

1322
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,000
for context. And this is for context

1323
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
of

1324
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,000
me as a new councilmember. Could somebody

1325
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000
share with me where this development

1326
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
of the

1327
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,000
facility sits in the priority list of

1328
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,400
acfd's strategic business plan.

1329
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,000
>> good evening, honorable

1330
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,000
mayor, I'm gaspar with the planning

1331
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,000
division. Tonight I also have

1332
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,000
the county of alameda here. The fire chief can help answer

1333
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
>> good evening, council, and thank you

1334
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
for having us tonight,

1335
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
where it's always a privilege to be here

1336
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000
with our partners in the city

1337
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,000
of dublin. I believe I heard your

1338
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
question as

1339
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000
where does this sit in the

1340
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,000
priority

1341
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,000
acfd, is that correct?

1342
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,000
>> sure. >> you

1343
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
may not know,

1344
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
but we've outgrown

1345
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,000
our space in san leandro. We have

1346
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
been working on developing

1347
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
a new training site to train our next

1348
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,000
generation of firefighters.

1349
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
we found a spot here in dublin that

1350
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
we felt met the needs of our

1351
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
priorities. So we've actually been working

1352
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
on this for at least five

1353
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
years to transition from san leandro

1354
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
to

1355
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
dublin. And so it rose all

1356
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
the way through our priority list

1357
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
of a concept,

1358
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,000
an idea, and actually now to fruition

1359
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
to be

1360
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,000
here tonight to present our training

1361
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
tower.

1362
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
so in terms of our priority

1363
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
within acfd, it's number one of

1364
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,000
our priorities. We need to train our

1365
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,000
next generation of firefighters to

1366
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
make sure they're

1367
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,000
ready, and not only our next generation,

1368
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,000
but our

1369
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
current firefighters. This will provide that platform

1370
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,600
for us as we move forward.

1371
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
>> thank you for that explanation.

1372
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
and by the

1373
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,000
way, I understand given the current

1374
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,000
situation, it's

1375
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,000
imperative that we continue to train

1376
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,000
the

1377
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,000
next generation with the latest technology

1378
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,400
and the latest skill and capabilities to be responders.

1379
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,000
my next question is more procedural

1380
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
comment, or question. Question, sorry,

1381
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,000
not

1382
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,000
comment. In the review of the materials

1383
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,000
provided, there was a statement

1384
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
or an attach ment with

1385
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000
the 2004 governor's office of planning

1386
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,400
and research. In clause

1387
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,000
2a of the document, it does

1388
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,000
note that an mnd, which is

1389
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,000
a mitigated

1390
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,000
negative declaration allows the lead

1391
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,000
agency to revise the

1392
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
project prior to circulating the document for public review.

1393
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,000
the question is, where

1394
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
is that document for public review?

1395
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
and when

1396
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
was it posted so we would have access to review

1397
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,000
that?

1398
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,400
>> sure. Thank you. So

1399
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
we worked with the alameda

1400
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,000
county general services agency, and

1401
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,000
they're our

1402
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
lead agency in running this project.

1403
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000
so we

1404
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
entered into

1405
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
sequa agreement with them political

1406
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,000
2 1/2 years ago.

1407
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
we went through the whole sequasequa

1408
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
process. We posted our findings as

1409
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,000
required to review,

1410
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
and ultimately it

1411
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,000
was determined to be a mnd

1412
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
process. So we have what we believe

1413
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,000
has gone through the proper process

1414
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
of

1415
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,000
sequa, and currently we do have a

1416
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,000
link that could

1417
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
be accessible for anyone that would

1418
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
want to review that

1419
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
sequa document. And if I miss anything,

1420
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000
I've got my

1421
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
gsa partners here to sort of guide

1422
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,000
me. So let

1423
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,000
me just confirm that that's accurate.

1424
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
>> yes, that's great.

1425
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
>> good evening. My name is patrick

1426
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
lamb, and I'm with

1427
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
gsa capital programs. So whoever wants

1428
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
that link, I

1429
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
can send it over to you

1430
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,000
guys, and if you have any questions,

1431
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
feel free to contact me.

1432
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
>> okay, thank you.

1433
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,000
and any more questions from

1434
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,000
you, john?

1435
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,000
>> not at this time. Thank you.

1436
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,000
>> excellent. Do we have any discussions

1437
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
we

1438
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
want to do?

1439
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,000
>> two questions, if you

1440
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
don't mind.

1441
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,000
I had two quick questions.

1442
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
>> you have

1443
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,000
question.

1444
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
>> if

1445
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,000
you don't mind. Just a couple of quick

1446
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,000
questions.

1447
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
could you describe

1448
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000
the hours of operation and any

1449
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,000
potential impact

1450
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
on traffic as well as

1451
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,000
noise and any mitigation you have planned

1452
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
for that?

1453
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,200
>> thank you. It's a really good question.

1454
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,000
I think one of our

1455
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
major concerns is what impact is it

1456
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,000
going to have on our residents, how is

1457
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000
that going to play into

1458
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,000
roll role. We believe we're in a strategic

1459
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
location sort

1460
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,000
of being in that zone area where there

1461
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
is

1462
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
similar type buildings. To answer

1463
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
your question specifically, typically

1464
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,000
we do training monday through friday,

1465
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
8:00 to

1466
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
5:00 and that is the routine cadence

1467
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,000
for training.

1468
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
most of it will be inside the classroom.

1469
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
you see an 8000 square-foot classroom

1470
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
where a lot of

1471
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
the education is endorse. When we

1472
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,000
transition outside to the training

1473
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,000
tower we strategically

1474
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
placed the classroom in the front

1475
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
on gleason to help mask the

1476
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000
noise and the

1477
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,000
fire engines to the training tower

1478
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
. We

1479
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
do have, every two years, a

1480
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
nighttime training

1481
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,000
in the fourth quarter which is typically

1482
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
the darkest quarter.

1483
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
we do want the firefighters to actually experience

1484
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,000
what it's like to train at night.

1485
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
those are from 6:00

1486
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,200
to 9:00. It is once every two years

1487
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,000
. We only do it on wednesday nights.

1488
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
we are trying to be

1489
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,000
as respectful as we can to citizens

1490
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,000
and constituents that live close

1491
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,400
by. Again, to answer

1492
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
your question hours of operation

1493
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
are 8:00 to 5:00

1494
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
monday through friday. We don't really

1495
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,400
see weekend training because

1496
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
it is

1497
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,000
off on weekends.

1498
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,000
>> any medication

1499
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,000
or potential impact of traffic?

1500
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000
vehicular in particular

1501
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,000
.

1502
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
>> are

1503
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
you talking about the fire engines

1504
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,000
or vehicles?

1505
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,000
>>

1506
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,000
probably more of the fire engines.

1507
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,400
>> typically on the training

1508
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,000
what we call the task force training.

1509
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
when you see some

1510
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,000
engines coming together it is no more

1511
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
than five apparatus. What we

1512
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,000
anticipate is we would be ready to start,

1513
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
get

1514
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
to gleason

1515
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,000
and only be training on the site within

1516
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
the

1517
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,000
grounds and then leave. We do that

1518
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,000
twice a day one from 1:00 to

1519
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,000
noon and

1520
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
1:00 to 4:00. I would anticipate

1521
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,000
no more than 5:00 in the morning and

1522
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,400
5:00 in the afternoon on

1523
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000
any given day.

1524
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,000
>> thank you.

1525
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,000
>> mayor hu,

1526
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
I do have a follow-up after councilmember

1527
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
qaadri

1528
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,000
's question.

1529
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,000
>> go ahead.

1530
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
>> the question I have parleys

1531
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,000
off the comment about the timing of

1532
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,400
the apparatus from gleason.

1533
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,000
8:45

1534
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,600
to 9:00 is approximately the time parents

1535
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
are traversing away

1536
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,000
from fallon middle school .

1537
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,000
it is a tale end but certainly there are

1538
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,400
more cars than normal .

1539
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
is a: 45

1540
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,600
to 9:00 is set in stone time?

1541
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
would you be open to considering the

1542
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,000
traffic pattern to see if

1543
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,000
the time could be adjusted?

1544
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,000
>> I use

1545
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,400
the term pretty loosely.

1546
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,000
one, our first response

1547
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
is emergency response. Typically we

1548
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,000
try to shoot

1549
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
for 9:00 but most of the time we are

1550
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,000
on calls and

1551
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000
we do not start the training on time.

1552
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
I guess firefighters

1553
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
are known for not being on time unless

1554
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
we get call to

1555
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,000
an emergency. I would say that is

1556
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,000
a loose number

1557
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000
at best. One of the things, twofold,

1558
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,000
we are always respectful of vehicles,

1559
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,000
traffic signs

1560
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
and speed.

1561
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,000
I also think it is good for the public

1562
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,000
to see our apparatus in

1563
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,000
the streets training and being

1564
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
part of the community. First and foremost,

1565
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,200
we are always respectful of schools, traffic,

1566
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,000
and making sure

1567
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,000
we are there. I also think it is important

1568
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
that our citizens csl training and

1569
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,000
being part of the community.

1570
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
>>

1571
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
we are not talking about five fire

1572
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
trucks with

1573
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
lights and sirens

1574
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
screaming through rush-hour traffic.

1575
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
we are talking about people

1576
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,000
basically communicating

1577
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,000
--commuting

1578
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,000
to a training session. Five vehicles

1579
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
at a to the traffic at that time,

1580
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
arriving not together

1581
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,000
in a caravan. Arriving from different

1582
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,000
stations happening to get there.

1583
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,000
we are talking about five different

1584
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
vehicles that will

1585
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000
show up sometime in a 15 minute

1586
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,000
or half hour span.

1587
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
>> you

1588
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,000
nailed it. You

1589
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,000
want a job at the fire department?

1590
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
>>

1591
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,000
I personally do not see an issue with

1592
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,000
the traffic hundred.

1593
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
>>

1594
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
thank you. Any

1595
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
more questions or comments? We are good?

1596
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000
>> can I

1597
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,000
just really say thank you to the

1598
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
city staff, their time on

1599
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,000
helping develop the project. It takes

1600
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000
a mountain to move something

1601
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
like this.

1602
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,000
our partners and your team have

1603
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,000
been outstanding to work with. We

1604
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,000
are almost at the finish line

1605
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,000
to where we can see the project come

1606
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
to fruition. It will help

1607
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,000
your city be successful in these events

1608
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
we are

1609
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,000
talking about

1610
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
with wildland firefighting because

1611
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,000
it is one small step in this overall

1612
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
bucket.

1613
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,000
it also leverages us

1614
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,000
for a lot of opportunities where we

1615
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,000
can do regional training,

1616
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,000
we can get other pieces of equipment

1617
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
to come to

1618
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,000
the classroom, to show that we are

1619
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000
not only a leader

1620
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
in the city but a regional partner

1621
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,000
that looks to

1622
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
try to explore different opportunities

1623
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,400
of where we may

1624
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
need out

1625
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
evacuation routes and to know that

1626
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:42,000
the water supply is

1627
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000
secure. These fundamental blocks where

1628
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
we have a classroom

1629
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
and a training tower built the next

1630
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
level for us to be

1631
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,000
the death --successful department

1632
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
that represents

1633
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,400
the city of dublin.

1634
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
it's with us having

1635
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,000
a wonderful partner in the city that

1636
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,000
helps us work through

1637
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,000
these ideas and make public safety

1638
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
a reality. I just wanted to

1639
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,000
let you know that this goes on notice

1640
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,000
to our members that currently protect

1641
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
the city.

1642
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000
thank you.

1643
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,000
>> we also want to express our gratitude

1644
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
to you and

1645
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
your team. I have been in one of the

1646
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,000
training and

1647
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
first-hand experience how tough the

1648
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,400
work was and how

1649
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,000
severe

1650
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
you guys are and how much

1651
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,000
you have put yourself out there to

1652
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,000
protect

1653
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,000
our safety. I

1654
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,000
have a lot of gratitude and also welcome

1655
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,000
you

1656
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,000
to have your training center in the

1657
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,400
city. We are proud

1658
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,400
of that. Can we

1659
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,000
have a motion and a second?

1660
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000
>> I

1661
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,000
would like to make the motion

1662
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,000
to move the site as presented to us

1663
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
and also highlight

1664
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,400
the interagency cooperation between

1665
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,000
l.a. County and the city

1666

--alameda

1667
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,000
county and the city. I'm happy to

1668
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
move that

1669
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,000
as written.

1670
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,000
>> can we have a

1671
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,000
roll call?

1672
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,000

>> aye .

1681
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,000
that item passed unanimously. We have

1682
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,000
the acceptance

1683
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,400
of the tobacco grant

1684
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,000
program. I believe

1685
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,000
councilmember morada has a question.

1686
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,000
>>

1687
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,000
I do.

>> please go ahead. >> thank you, meta-mayor.

1689
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,400
good evening, chief fox.

1690
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
in my opinion this program

1691
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,400
definitely contributes to item

1692
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,400
2 bravo and our strategic

1693
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,000
plan. Congratulations to you and the

1694
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,000
city. I

1695
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000
do have a

1696
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,000
a few clarifying questions. If

1697
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,000
you can help me understand a little

1698
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,000
more context the process by which

1699
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
this

1700
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,000
program would execute within the city limits.

1701
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,400
chief, the first question

1702
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,000
I have for you is more from the

1703
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,000
perspective of , how with this program

1704
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,000
impact businesses

1705
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,400
considering there is a

1706
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,000
component that

1707
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,000
would impact businesses.

1708
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,000
if you could share with me your thoughts

1709
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,000
on,

1710
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,000
for example,

1711
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,000
do you find this based on prior research

1712
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,000
or even

1713
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,000
from precedents that the effectiveness

1714
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,000
of this

1715
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,000
in terms of public safety does not

1716
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000
have a major implication

1717
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,000
on businesses within the city in which

1718
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
the grant

1719
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,000
was given.

1720
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
>> thank

1721
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,000
you for that question. To answer

1722
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,000
your question, this program will

1723
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,000
impact the 22 establishments

1724
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,000
in the city of dublin that are licensed

1725
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,000
to

1726
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,000
sell tobacco. Those ,

1727
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,000
that is the target audience.

1728
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
those businesses that are licensed,

1729
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
the crime prevention unit works with

1730
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,400
them to provide education

1731
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,400
among responsible tobacco sales

1732
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,400
. They are doing on-site

1733
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,000
inspections to make sure

1734
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,000
the business is selling things they

1735
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,400
are supposed to sell.

1736
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,000
they are not

1737
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,000
selling flavored tobacco and things

1738
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,000
that are prohibited. It also provides

1739
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,000
an enforcement component for us to

1740
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
do enforcement. That includes the

1741
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
shoulder chap operation and minor

1742
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,000
decoy operation. It will not affect

1743
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
any

1744
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,000
other businesses.

1745
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
>>

1746
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,000
thank you.

1747
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,000
I would like to follow up with my

1748
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,000
second question parlaying off of the

1749
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000
process. You

1750
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,000
had mentioned the shoulder chap process.

1751
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
me

1752
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,000
being somewhat of a new councilmember,

1753
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,000
can you explain what that is and how

1754
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,000
that

1755
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,000
would be done?

1756
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,000
>>

1757
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,000
a shoulder chap operation is what

1758
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,000
we do to

1759
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
make sure

1760
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,400
minors are not getting

1761
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000
tobacco products.

1762
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,000
the typical operation is what is called

1763
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,000
a minor

1764
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,000
decoy operation. A minor goes into

1765
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,000
a business and

1766
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,000
they present their own I.d. Or ask

1767
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,000
for a product.

1768
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,000
the target is the business owner or

1769
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,000
the clerk. A shoulder

1770
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,000
chap operation the decoy will be placed

1771
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,000
outside of the establishment and solicit

1772
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,400
patrons to purchase products,

1773
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,000
either alcohol

1774
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,000
or tobacco that they otherwise would

1775
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,000
not be able to purchase. Typically

1776
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,000
they

1777
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,000
will tell that person I'm underage,

1778
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,000
the decoy will look underage and they

1779
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
will ask

1780
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,000
them to get

1781
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
them tobacco or alcohol. If they do,

1782
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,000
then they are detained and issued

1783
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,000
a citation

1784
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,000
.

1785
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,000
>> thank you. I better understand

1786
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,000
that

1787
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
process now. Again, looking into that

1788
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
a little

1789
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
bit deeper, there is no point

1790
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,000
at which a shoulder chap operation

1791
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,000
would

1792
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,600
be performed outside of the present

1793
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,000
--premises of a commercial business?

1794
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,000
you would not have the decoy standing

1795
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,000
on the corner of a neighborhood and

1796
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
try to it happen

1797
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,000
adult to go purchase? It has to be

1798
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,000
somebody at least

1799
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,000
visible to the premise of the tobacco facility?

1800
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,400
>> in this case tobacco,

1801
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,400
those operations are strictly

1802
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,000
conducted on-site where it is

1803
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,400
the license is held.

1804
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,000
>> the last question I

1805
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
have a somewhat procedural and somewhat

1806
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,000
tactical so

1807
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,000
forgive me for diving

1808
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,000
a little bit too deep into the operations,

1809
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,400
but if I may

1810
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,000
ask, how would an officer

1811
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,400
or officers be selected

1812
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,000
to be

1813
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,000
part of the program? What are the

1814
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
qualifications? Is there

1815
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,000
a task force that gets created? Just

1816
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,000
tell me

1817
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,000
understand how somebody becomes part

1818
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,000
of this program.

1819
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,000
>> basically we have a unit

1820
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,000
within the police department that

1821
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,000
manages the grant.

1822
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,000
in our case it's

1823
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,000
the community policing use it as a

1824
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,000
unit. The

1825
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,000
resource officers manage the inspections,

1826
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,000
providing education materials. There's

1827
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,000
no qualification

1828
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,000
special to be part of the unit. Typically

1829
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
it's the

1830
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,000
officers that are assigned there.

1831
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
they receive training, they go to classes

1832
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,000
to get educated on proper tobacco

1833
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
sales.

1834
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,000
>> so everybody does. Anybody could

1835
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,000
qualify? Is that correct?

1836
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,000
>> we are basically enforcing city

1837
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
ordinance is

1838
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,000
and business and profession codes

1839
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
that they learn in the

1840
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,600
police academy and through their career.

1841
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,000
>> very good. I am all for sharing

1842
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,000
knowledge. That was the intention

1843
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,000
of the question. I have no

1844
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,000
further questions.

1845
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,000
>> thank you. We

1846
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,000
will look

1847
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,000
for the motion and second.

1848
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,000
>>

1849
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,000
I make

1850
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,000
the motion that we accept the recommendation

1851
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,000
for item 5.7.

1852
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
>>

1853
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,000
first and second. Can we have roll

1854
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,000
call.

1855

1871
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,000

interim assistant community development director.

1874
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,000
the item before you tonight are a

1875
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
series

1876
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,000
of zoning ordinance amendments to

1877
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,000
implement the recently

1878
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,000
certified housing element. For background,

1879
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,000
the

1880
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,000
housing element is one of seven

1881
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,000
mandatory element

1882
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,000
of the general plan and the only one

1883
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,000
that requires certification

1884
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,000
by the department of housing and community

1885
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,000
development. The housing element is

1886
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,000
updated every eight years to

1887
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,000
demonstrate how the city will meet

1888
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,000
existing and projected

1889
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,000
housing needs.

1890
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,000
in november, 2022 the city council

1891
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,000
approved

1892
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,600
the draft housing element . In january 2024

1893
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,000
it was finally certified

1894
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,000
. The housing element includes a number

1895
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,000
of programs that require implementation

1896
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
by the city.

1897
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,400
the proposed project is

1898
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
city initiated amendments to

1899
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,000
zoning ordinance which would implement

1900
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,600
the following housing element programs. First,

1901
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,000
review and revise the density bonus

1902
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,000
ordinance to ensure

1903
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,000
continued compliance with state law.

1904
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,000
amend the site development review permit

1905
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,000
findings

1906
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,400
to remove subjective language

1907
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,000
and ensure objective standards

1908
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,000
and compliance with senate bill 35.

1909
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,000
program b 11

1910
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,000
would amend the ordinance goodbye

1911
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,000
is got to

1912
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,000
comply with state transitional and

1913
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,000
supportive

1914
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,600
housing as residential use by right.

1915
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,000
program b 12

1916
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
requires us to review the permitting

1917
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,000
procedures for

1918
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,000
single room occupancy unit to remove

1919
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
potential constraints to

1920
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,000
developing

1921
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
a diversity of housing types in the

1922
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
city. Program b 17 but allow

1923
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,000
community care facilities in all zones

1924
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,000
allowing residential use

1925
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,000
and also would revise the definition

1926
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
of family

1927
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,000
to eliminate constraints to persons

1928
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,000
with disabilities.

1929
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,000
program d 3 requires

1930
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,000
review and amendment to the emergency

1931
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,000
shelters ordinance to ensure consistency

1932
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,000
with

1933
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,000
government code and also amend the

1934
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,000
zoning ordinance to comply

1935
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000
with ab 139 parking requirements. Finally,

1936
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,000
t 6 will criers mend in the zoning

1937
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,600
ordinance to comply with requirements established

1938
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,000
in ab 2097. For the most part the

1939
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,000
programs we

1940
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,000
are implementing tonight

1941
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,000
are required by recent legislation

1942
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,000
or state law. Those that are not specifically

1943
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,000
related to that are programs that

1944
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
would encourage

1945
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,000
a diversity of housing

1946
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,000
and remove barriers to housing development.

1947
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,000
the first

1948
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,000
set of amendments our chapter 8.08

1949
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,000
definitions . The

1950
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,000
amendments would remove reference

1951
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
to small

1952
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
and large in the definition of community

1953
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,000
care facility supportive housing and

1954
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
transitional housing and ensure

1955
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,000
those definitions are consistent with

1956
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,000
the

1957
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,000
government code . We would update

1958
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,000
the definition

1959
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,000
of family and single room occupancy unit.

1960
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,000
in chapter 8.12, this

1961
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,000
is a chapter that includes

1962
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
a land-use matrix that identifies

1963
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,000
uses that are permitted by

1964
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,000
right, require additional use permit,

1965
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,000
or not permitted. We would remove

1966
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,000
reference to small and large

1967
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,000
facility for supportive housing and

1968
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,000
transitional housing,

1969
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,000
allow by right those uses

1970
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,000
and residential districts. We would allow

1971
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,000
in commercial

1972
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,000
zoning districts

1973
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,000
the community care facility supportive

1974
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
housing and

1975
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,000
transitional housing with a conditional

1976
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,000
use permit. We

1977
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,000
would allow by right an sro in the

1978
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,000
c 2 district. In

1979
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000
chapter 8.16,

1980
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,000
8.20 and 8.24, we

1981
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,000
would make amendments to provide

1982
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:29,000
consistency with the amendments that

1983
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,000
are proposed

1984
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
to the land-use matrix. Chapter

1985
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
8.45 would remove

1986
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000
development standards that are inconsistent

1987
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,000
with state law for emergency shelters.

1988
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,400
chapter 8.46 would allow sro

1989
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,000
in the c 2

1990
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
district .

1991
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
8.47

1992
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
and 8.50 would remove

1993
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,000
reference to small and large supportive

1994
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
housing

1995
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,000
and transitional housing and update

1996
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,000
were supportive and transitional housing

1997
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,000
uses are permitted by right or where

1998
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
they had

1999
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,000
require approval of cup, conditional

2000
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,000
use permit.

2001
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,400
eight point 52 would remove

2002
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,000
adverse impact to the physical environment

2003
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,000
as

2004
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
a reason to deny a request for a concession

2005
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
or incentive or waiver or modification. This

2006
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
is the only recent change

2007
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000
in state law that we needed to

2008
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,000
comply with.

2009
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
8.76, we would

2010
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,000
add an exception

2011
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,000
to the offstreet parking requirements

2012
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,000
for projects located within one half

2013
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,000
mile of public transit. You

2014
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000
will recall we did this in the downtown

2015
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,000
dublin plan so we are amending the

2016
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,000
zoning ordinance to make

2017
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,000
sure we are addressing that requirement

2018
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
and other parts of the city

2019
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,000
that have public transit.

2020
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
the chapter would also be amended

2021
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,000
to what date

2022
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,000
offstreet parking requirements for

2023
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
community

2024
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,000
care facilities, supportive housing

2025
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
and transitional

2026
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,000
housing to ensure

2027
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,000
they are the same as would be applied

2028
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
to other uses. Finally, we

2029
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,000
would update the offstreet parking

2030
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
requirements for

2031
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,000
emergency shelters. Chapter

2032
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,000
8.104 we would add

2033
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,000
an exception

2034
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,000
to two site development review findings

2035
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,000
to clarify they

2036
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,000
would not apply to housing projects

2037
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,400
subject to ministerial review

2038
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,000
under sb 35 which was the affordable

2039
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:35,000
housing streamline review act. The

2040
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
last amendment would

2041
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,000
be chapter 8.116 which

2042
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
would add

2043
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,000
sro units as

2044
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,000
a project type that requires ministerial

2045
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,000
review of the zoning clearance. On

2046
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,000
december 10 the planning commission

2047
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000
held a

2048
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,000
public hearing and considered

2049
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,000
the proposed amendments and unanimously

2050
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,400
recommended approval to the

2051
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
city council. Tonight we are asking

2052
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,000
you to waive

2053
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,000
reading and introduce the ordinance

2054
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000
approving the proposed amendments.

2055
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,000
that concludes

2056
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
my presentation. I am happy to answer any

2057
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
questions.

2058
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,600
>> thank you. Does anyone have questions?

2059
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,000
>>

2060
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,200
thank you for the presentation. Welcome back.

2061
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,000
I am happy to hear that

2062
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,000
the housing element was

2063
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,000
finally certified. Could you talk

2064
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,000
about

2065
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,000
the relationship between these ordinances

2066
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,000
or

2067
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,000
amendments here and the impacts

2068
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,000
to the housing element.

2069
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,000
I assume they are two separate things

2070
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
but

2071
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,000
can you clarify that a bit.

2072
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,000
>>

2073
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,000
the zoning ordinance amendments would implement

2074
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,000
the housing

2075
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,000
element so there's no conflict.

2076
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,000
>> perfect. That's what I assumed.

2077
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,000
you made a

2078
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,000
comment on

2079
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,000
8.52 with the density bonus regulations.

2080
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
I did not catch

2081
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,000
the comment that this is the only

2082
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,000
one.

2083
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,000
>> the program required us to

2084
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,000
take a look at recent changes .

2085
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,000
it is one of the parts of state law

2086
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,000
that changes all the time.

2087
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
we went back and reviewed

2088
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,000
our ordinance against the most recent

2089
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000
changes.

2090
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
we only identified the one change

2091
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
that is proposed

2092
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,400
to remove some language

2093
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
that would , we could no longer used

2094
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,000
to deny a request for a concession

2095
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,000
or

2096
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,000
waiver.

2097
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
>> thank you. Those are my

2098
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,000
only questions.

2099
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,000
>> john, do you

2100
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
have a question?

2101
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,000
>> I do. Just a very simple question.

2102
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,400
thank you, ms. Wheeler,

2103
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,000
for the presentation. Very simple

2104
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,000
question

2105
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,000
just for clarity. The request this evening

2106
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,000
is to update

2107
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:00,000
the current policies. We are not taking

2108
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,600
any particular action to rezone anything?

2109
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,000
>> we are

2110
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,000
amending the zoning ordinance but

2111
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,000
not rezoning any particular properties.

2112
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,000
the regulations and the zoning ordinance

2113
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,000
are

2114
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,000
being changed.

2115
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
>> by making this change that brings

2116
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,000
us current?

2117
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,000
>> it provides compliance for

2118
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,000
the city with the housing element.

2119
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
>> thank

2120
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,000
you so much. That was my question.

2121
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:30,000
>>

2122
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,000
thank you so much. Do we have any

2123
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,400
public comments on this?

2124
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
>> we do need

2125
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,000
to open the public hearing first.

2126
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,000
>> let's open

2127
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,000
the public hearing on agenda

2128
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
item 6.1.

2129
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,000
>> I have two speaker slips. The

2130
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,000
first is shirley lewandowski.

2131
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,000
>> please come.

2132
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,000
>> hello

2133
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,000
again. Shirley lewandowski. To me

2134
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,000
it is

2135
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,000
distressing that this agenda item

2136
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,000
and the next two all seek exemption

2137
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,000
from

2138
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,000
ceqa.

2139
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:17,000
exempting the environmental quality

2140
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,000
act for many development projects

2141
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,000
undermines the fundamental purpose

2142
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,000
of

2143
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
environmental protection and sustainable development.

2144
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:29,000
ceqa ensures that all environmental

2145
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,000
impacts are thoroughly accessed and

2146
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,000
mitigated promoting transparency and

2147
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,000
accountability in decision-making process.

2148
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,000
without

2149
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:41,000
ceqa we risk irreversible damage to

2150
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,000
our natural resources, public health

2151
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,000
and overall quality of life. Quality

2152
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,000
of life is really key for me.

2153
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000
I know it is for you also but

2154
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
I hope

2155
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,000
it is present when you make decisions.

2156
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,000
it

2157
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,000
is crucial to maintain ceqa requirements

2158
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,400
for all development projects

2159
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
to safeguard our environment and for

2160
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,000
current and future generations.

2161
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,000
mother nature and climate change are already

2162
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,000
giving us enough red flag warnings

2163
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,000
when we circumvent

2164
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,000
and eliminate guardrails like ceqa.

2165
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,000
>>

2166
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,000
the second speaker.

2167
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
>> good evening,

2168
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
mayor and council members. I am

2169
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,000
here speaking on behalf of of

2170
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,000
carpenters local 713 representing

2171
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,000
thousands of working carpenters in

2172
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,000
alameda county, many

2173
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,000
who live and work in the city of dublin.

2174
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,000
we appreciate

2175
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,000
our productive conversation with staff

2176
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,000
in anticipation of the zoning updates today.

2177
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,000
the carpenters union has worked closely

2178
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,000
with state

2179
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,000
and local government to streamline

2180
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,000
housing production

2181
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,000
to meet our

2182
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,000
growing needs while guaranteeing strong

2183
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,000
labor standards, apprenticeship

2184
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,000
requirements and healthcare

2185
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,000
for the men and women that build the

2186
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,000
housing. Recently passed

2187
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,000
a distillation --legislation

2188
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,000
all enable ceqa development while

2189
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,000
uplifting workers

2190
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,000
in the process. We look forward to

2191
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,000
working with you on future zoning

2192
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,600
changes, plans and the next process

2193
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,000
to ensure that as the city of dublin and

2194
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,000
develops we protect our strength,

2195
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,000
the men and women that told our future.

2196
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,000
>> I have no more speaker

2197
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,000
slips. We will closely hearing.

2198
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,000
any questions

2199
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,000
or comments?

2200
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,000
>> I have a couple of

2201
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,000
follow-up

2202
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,000
questions. Is this a project?

2203
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000
>>

2204
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
the housing amendments

2205
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,400
are considered a project

2206
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,000
under ceqa. In light of the fact

2207
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,000
that there is no physical development

2208
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,000
that would result in the

2209
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000
housing amendments, we found the project

2210
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,000
was exempt

2211
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,600
from ceqa. Any future project that

2212
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,000
would come forward for any of

2213
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,000
the types of development that are

2214
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,000
part of the amendments would be subject

2215
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,000
to ceqa at

2216
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,000
the time and we would review potential

2217
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,000
impacts.

2218
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,000
>>

2219
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,000
does that include pyrite projects?

2220
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,000
>> it does not.

2221
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,000
>> the state law says we have to allow

2222
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,000
these housing types by

2223
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,000
right which is why we are making these

2224
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,000
changes. Correct?

2225
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,000
>> correct. >> state law does not

2226
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,000
allow us

2227
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,000
to impose any additional ceqa requirements

2228
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,000
on those projects

2229
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,000
, correct?

2230
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,000
>>

2231
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,000
correct. While I agree with the

2232
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,200
speakers that we want to mitigate any

2233
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,400
impacts to the environment,

2234
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
our hands are a little tied

2235
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:00,000
. The things that we are doing with

2236
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,000
this project tonight

2237
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,000
are not things that we

2238
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:07,000
have decided we want to do. They

2239
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,000
are things we are doing to comply

2240
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,000
with recent state laws and

2241
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
to ensure that hcd continues to

2242
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,000
certify our housing.

2243
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
>> correct.

2244
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,000
>> thank you.

2245
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,000
>> excellent. Thank you.

2246
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,000
any more

2247
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,000
questions from anybody? Any comments

2248
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,000
or questions?

2249
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,000
we will invite

2250
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,000

2251
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,000

rezoning.

>> that one is mine

2291
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,000

>> similar to the housing element,

2293
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,000
zoning ordinance amendments this item

2294
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,000
is also an implementation measure

2295
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000
for the

2296
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,000
housing element. I will skip the background.

2297
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,000
the proposed project

2298
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,000
is a city initiated rezoning

2299
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,000
of four residential properties from

2300
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,000
plant development to

2301
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
multi family residential.

2302
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,000
all four of the properties

2303
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,000
are currently

2304
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,000
have general plan land use designations

2305
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,000
for residential development.

2306
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,400
the rezonings would implement

2307
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:43,000
program b .18 which I will talk about

2308
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:44,000
more

2309
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,000
in a minute. These are the properties

2310
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,400
. They are all located

2311
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,000
here. They range from one acre to

2312
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,000
12 1/2 acres.

2313
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,000
like I said,

2314
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,000
they all have a medium

2315
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,000
density residential land use designation.

2316
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,400
three also have either

2317
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,000
open space or

2318
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,000
corridor designations. We

2319
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:12,000
are not proposing to change the zoning

2320
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,400
on those portions of

2321
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,000
the properties.

2322
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,000
I know that the maps

2323
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,000
are little bit small, but the map

2324
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,400
on the left is

2325
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,000
the general plan land use map . The

2326
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,000
parcels are located here , here, here,

2327
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,000
here, and here.

2328
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
the zoning map

2329
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,000
is on the right. These are the parcels

2330
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,000
and the zoning.

2331
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,000
these properties were zoned many

2332
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,000
years ago

2333
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,000
as part of an annexation up for

2334
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:55,000
--effort when they came into the city.

2335
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,000
they

2336
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,400
never had any extensive

2337
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,000
development proposed.

2338
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:03,000
they each have a single-family home

2339
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
except for the fourth parcel

2340
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,000
which has an equestrian center.

2341
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,000
this program

2342
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,000
pertains to the development of property

2343
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:16,000
with zoning which requires legislative

2344
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,000
action

2345
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,000
the city council and is viewed as

2346
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,000
a constraint to residential development.

2347
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,000
this came directly

2348
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,000
from hcd. Staff

2349
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
was required under the program

2350
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,000
to review

2351
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,000
vacant and underutilized residential

2352
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,000
properties with existing zoning

2353
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,000
for residential use

2354
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,000
and rezone those parcels to a residential

2355
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,000
district with

2356
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,000
established development standards.

2357
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,400
under the current zoning

2358
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,000
there are no development standards

2359
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,000
so setback,

2360
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,000
building height, lot coverage,

2361
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:54,000
those sorts of things would all have

2362
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
to be established

2363
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,000
if those properties were proposed

2364
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,000
for development.

2365
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,000
the

2366
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:05,000
proposed rezoning would ensure that

2367
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,000
it is not mandated on the residential properties

2368
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,000
. Property owners

2369
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,000
would still have an option to pursue

2370
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,600
zoning if they desire greater flexibility

2371
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,000
for standards which a lot of developers

2372
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
prefer. They are

2373
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:22,000
able to be a little more flexible

2374
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,400
and creative with how

2375
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,000
it is laid out. Rezoning would

2376
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,000
benefit property owners providing certainty

2377
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,000
without requiring further legislative

2378
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,400
action. It would remain

2379
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,000
an option

2380
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,000
as I said. I think it is important

2381
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,000
to note the

2382
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,000
proposed rezoning would not result

2383
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,000
in any additional housing

2384
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,000
that would not be allowed under the

2385
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,400
general plan. This is

2386
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,400
the proposed rezoning map.

2387
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,000
you can see the portions of the

2388
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,600
properties with open space or streambed

2389
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:59,000
corridor would remain

2390
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,000
and the remaining portion would be

2391
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,400
rezoned to multifamily residential

2392
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:05,000
. On december 10

2393
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,000
the planning commission held a public

2394
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,400
hearing and considered the

2395
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,000
proposed

2396
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,000
rezoning and unanimously recommended approval.

2397
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,000
we are

2398
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,000
asking you to waive the reading and

2399
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,000
introduce

2400
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,000
the ordinance and

2401
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,000
rezoning the properties from plant development

2402
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,000
. That

2403
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,000
concludes my presentation. I am

2404
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:28,000
happy to answer any questions.

2405
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,000
>>

2406
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,000
if you

2407
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
have a question, go ahead.

2408
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:37,000
>> I just have a couple of questions.

2409
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,000
it took me a while,

2410
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:40,000
maybe two years of being on council

2411
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,000
before I

2412
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,000
understood the difference between zoning

2413
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,000
and land

2414
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,000
use designation. I'm going to

2415
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:50,000
ask this as do I have this

2416
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,000
right question. The current zoning

2417
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,000
is

2418
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,000
plan development,

2419
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,000
but we had designated these parcels

2420
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,000
to be for the

2421
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,000
land use. They have a land use designation

2422
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,000
of multi family residential now

2423
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,000
and a couple of them have open space

2424
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,000
within them

2425
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,000
with plant development overlay

2426
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,000
on top of them as part of the eastern

2427
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
dublin specific

2428
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,600
land. Do I have that right?

2429
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,000
>> I think maybe a way to say it is

2430
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
the general plan

2431
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
comes first. Land use designation

2432
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:28,000
gets set first and then

2433
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,000
we follow with zoning. We make

2434
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,000
sure it is consistent with the general plan.

2435
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:32,000
in

2436
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,000
the case of these properties we overlaid

2437
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,000
what we sometimes call and

2438
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,000
in the

2439
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,000
. It does not have development standards

2440
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:41,000
and would require

2441
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
a new one if it remained. Instead,

2442
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,000
we will

2443
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,000
give the properties some

2444
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,000
actual development standards that

2445
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,000
would allow

2446
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:53,000
a

2447
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,000
project to move forward without legislative

2448
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,000
action.

2449
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,000
>> I get that part.

2450
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,000
when that eastern dublin plan went

2451
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,000
through

2452
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,000
ceqa, these parcels were studied

2453
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,000
for multifamily residential.

2454
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,000
so they have undergone some

2455
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,000
environmental study at the

2456
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:13,000
densities we are looking at right now.

2457
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,000
the intent of

2458
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:20,000
what we are doing is to put design standards

2459
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,000
, the already vetted design standards

2460
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000
on those properties so that

2461
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,000
if the property owners eventually

2462
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,000
wanted to put the housing on those

2463
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,000
parcels

2464
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
that was contemplated in the general plan,

2465
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,000
they could do so should they choose

2466
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:36,000
with the

2467
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,000
existing standards that are attached

2468
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,400
to the multifamily residential

2469
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,000
zoning. Correct?

2470
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,000
>>

2471
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,000
development standards and multifamily

2472
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,000
residential design standards. Yes.

2473
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,000
>>

2474
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,000
if they chose to do something slightly different

2475
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,000
. If they wanted us to put

2476
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,000
new zoning on those parcels, that

2477
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,000
would trickle --

2478
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,000
trigger additional ceqa?

2479
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,000
>> it would.

2480
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000
>> those were

2481
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,000
my questions.

2482
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,000
>> questions?

2483
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,000
>>

2484
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,000
one of the things that is pinch

2485
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,000
my I

2486
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,000
that seem to be worked around. How

2487
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,000
would you envision

2488
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,000
any developments working around? It

2489
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
is probably a small area

2490
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,000
. How would you

2491
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:35,200
envision something like that in the plan?

2492
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,000
>> we get that one for next month.

2493
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,400
I guess it would

2494
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:41,000
probably be the easiest to develop.

2495
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,000
it is

2496
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:46,600
a very large area for development.

2497
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:49,000
the two smaller parcels are fairly

2498
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,000
constrained by the open space

2499
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,000
and corridor. There is development potential

2500
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,400
. Fairly small. We would

2501
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,000
only look at that portion of the lot

2502
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
which has

2503
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,000
the general plan land use designation and

2504
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,000
the zoning for

2505
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,000
multifamily residential.

2506
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,000
>>

2507
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:11,000
thank you.

2508
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,000
>>

2509
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,400
any questions from john?

2510
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,000
>> yes. Thank you,

2511
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,000
mayor hu. Ms. Wheeler, thank you

2512
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,000
for being here again. Just

2513
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,000
adding to the questions asked

2514
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:29,000
by councilmember josey, thank you

2515
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,000
to clarify

2516
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:34,000
some things I was going to ask.

2517
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,000
the one question I have is what was

2518
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:37,000
the result of the original ceqa analysis?

2519
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,400
I am very particular

2520
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,400
about seen on the

2521
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,000
diagram a creek running through the

2522
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,000
three

2523
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,000
lower properties . I am curious to know

2524
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,000
what was the analysis with

2525
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:52,000
regard to development because of the

2526
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,000
creek?

2527
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,000
>>

2528
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,000
I cannot say specifically what

2529
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:01,000
that analysis was. There was an

2530
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,000
eir prepared for the specific plan.

2531
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,000
that document has

2532
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,000
had a number of addendum's for other

2533
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:11,000
developments that have occurred in

2534
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,000
the specific

2535
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,000
plan area . When there

2536
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,000
is a specific development proposed

2537
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,000
as councilmember josey

2538
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,000
alluded to, any future development

2539
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,000
on those parcels would be reviewed against

2540
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,000
ceqa and

2541
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,000
the previous document to

2542
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:31,000
ensure there would not be any impacts

2543
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,000
to the corridor or any other sensitive areas

2544
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,400
on those four sites.

2545
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,000
>> thank you. No further questions.

2546
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,000
>> okay. We will open the

2547
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:45,000

>> mayor,

2549
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:47,000

2553
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:56,000
any comments? Any comments from

2554
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:57,000

second. Can somebody put that up there?

2564
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,000
that would be an ordinance amending

2587
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,000
good evening, mayor, city council members.

2588

rhonda

2589
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:44,000
franklin with the office of economic development.

2590
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,400
to provide some background,

2591
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,000
the

2592
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,600
update of the economic development strategy

2593
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:54,000
which is directly related

2594
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:55,000
to the economic development element

2595
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,600
was approved by city council october

2596
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,000
1, 2024. The strategy includes seven goals,

2597
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,000
each with specific strategies, policies,

2598
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,000
action items and

2599
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,000
implementation measures. Staff has developed

2600
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:13,000
an in progress workplan and will provide

2601
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,000
progress on the updates as we work

2602
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,000
on

2603
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,000
the plan.

2604
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,000
once the updated strategy was approved,

2605
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:23,000
it became necessary to also up date

2606
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,000
the economic

2607
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:27,000
development element to

2608
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,000
ensure it remains consistent with

2609
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,000
the updated strategy.

2610
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,000
on december 10, 2024,

2611
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:36,000
the planning commission recommended

2612
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,000
city

2613
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,000
council approval of the updated element

2614
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,000
with comments.

2615
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:44,000
those comments that they made were

2616
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,000
addressed in the staff report

2617
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,000
for the item.

2618
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:50,000
it is important to note that the foundation

2619
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,000
of the

2620
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,000
element is the strategy. The element

2621
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,000
is a high-level summary of the strategy

2622
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:02,000
and provides guidance for the general plan.

2623
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:03,000
the element should remain consistent

2624
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:04,000
with and

2625
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:05,000
reflective of the strategy and should

2626
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000
also mirror

2627
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:11,000
and maintain the same goals, strategies, policies,

2628
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,000
and implementation measures as the strategy.

2629
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,000
to review

2630
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,000
the seven goals that are in the updated strategy

2631
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,000
and the element, they are

2632
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,000
innovation growth, promote

2633
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,400
infill investment, greenfield development,

2634
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,000
retail vitality

2635
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,000
, hospitality expansion,

2636
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,000
small-business support, and

2637
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,000
workforce opportunities.

2638
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:44,000
before I welcome our consultant

2639
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,000
to provide a presentation on

2640
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,000
the project,

2641
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:51,000
I just wanted to provide a point of

2642
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,000
clarification. In

2643
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:53,000
the staff report under the environmental

2644
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:55,000
determination section,

2645
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:57,000
staff is

2646
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:58,000
recommending that the city council

2647
01:37:58,000 --> 01:37:59,000
rather than the planning commission

2648
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,000
find

2649
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:05,000
the project is exempt from ceqa requirements.

2650
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:08,000
I just wanted to make that point

2651
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:09,000
of clarification. I would like to

2652
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:10,000
turn

2653
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:11,000
it over to derek with strategic economics

2654
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,000
who is the consultant

2655
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,600
on this project. After his presentation

2656
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,000
I will be happy to answer

2657
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,200
any questions you have on the project.

2658
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:31,000
>> good evening , mayor,

2659
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,000
council members.

2660
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,000
I am derek

2661
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,000
braun with strategic economics. It's

2662
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:39,000
a privilege and pleasure to be back

2663
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:40,000
before you

2664
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,000
today. I will provide a little more

2665
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:42,000
context about the economic development

2666
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,000
and

2667
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,000
the process although

2668
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:48,000
rhonda did a good job covering some

2669
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,000
of the details

2670
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,000
of how we got here.

2671
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,000
I think I will move past this information.

2672
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,000
rhonda has done a great

2673
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,000
job covering that. I do want

2674
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,000
to emphasize a few key points here.

2675
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,000
the economic development element is

2676
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:08,000
an optional component of the general plan.

2677
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,000
it

2678
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:11,000
is just as valid and has the same

2679
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,000
standing of any

2680
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,000
other element.

2681
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,000
,

2682
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:21,000
we welcome any questions or comments you.

2683
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:22,000
>>

2684
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,000
the environmental determination section

2685
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,000
in the staff report, we

2686
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,000
erroneously put we are requesting

2687
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,000
planning commission approval

2688
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,000
when it should have said city council approval

2689
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:31,000
.

2690
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,000
>>

2691
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,000
thank you.

2692
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,000
>>

2693
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:46,000
john has questions.

2694
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,000
>>

2695
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,000
thank you. Rhonda,

2696
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,000
thank you very much and also derek.

2697
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,000
I do have a question

2698
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,000
as well on the common that was made about

2699
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:02,000
the ceqa requirement being waived.

2700
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,000
it seems to me we are doing

2701
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:06,000
an economic development plan update

2702
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,000
to be

2703
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,000
more competitive.

2704
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,000
if that's the case and there's a policy update

2705
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:15,000
why are we bringing ceqa into the

2706
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,000
commentary or is

2707
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,000
it saying

2708
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,000
that the planning commission is asking

2709
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,000
to have the ceqa waived so it can

2710
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
be more competitive?

2711
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:27,000
my brain is not connecting the two

2712
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:28,000
points. If

2713
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,000
you could just clarify that for me

2714
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:31,000
please.

2715
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,000
>> councilmember morada,

2716
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:36,000
I will take that question. Similar

2717
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,000
to the two previous items,

2718
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,000
the update to the economic

2719
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:42,000
development element is a project under

2720
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,000
ceqa.

2721
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,000
when we took a look at it

2722
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:48,000
we determined it qualified for what

2723
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,400
is known as the

2724
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:54,000
common sense exemption under ceqa.

2725
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:58,000
and that it can be seen with certainty

2726
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,000
there would

2727
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:00,000
be no potential significant effects

2728
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,000
to the environment.

2729
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,000
if there is a project

2730
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:06,000
that is proposed that would implement policies

2731
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,000
and

2732
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,000
the economic development element

2733
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,800
we would do a review at that time.

2734
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,000
>> I think you have an additional

2735
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:22,000
question.

2736
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,000
>> I do.

2737
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,000
thank you. Not a question

2738
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:30,000
so much as a comment. I am starting

2739
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,000
to feel some moral dissonance

2740
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,400
with these continuing requests

2741
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:37,000
for ceqa waivers. I am making a general

2742
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,000
comment

2743
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:40,000
that it is starting to weigh on me

2744
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:42,000
a

2745
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,000
bit. The amount

2746
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,600
of these waivers we are requesting.

2747
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,000
to follow behind

2748
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:54,000
resident lewandowski's comment it

2749
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,000
is there for a reason.

2750
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
I am just making a

2751
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:01,000
comment here that I'm going to pay

2752
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,000
a little

2753
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,400
more diligence to these

2754
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,400
continuation of waiver request.

2755
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,000
>>

2756
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,000
can you help to address this comment?

2757
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:20,600
>> I can make some brief remarks.

2758
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,000
ceqa

2759
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,000
applies to almost every action the

2760
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,000
city council takes.

2761
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:28,000
there are certain exemptions the legislature

2762
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:30,000
has

2763
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,000
made available. We evaluate to what

2764
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,000
extent

2765
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:35,000
we are required

2766
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:37,000
to do environmental review, prepare

2767
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,000
eir,

2768
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,000
mitigate negative declaration

2769
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,000
and those kinds of things. We do those

2770
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,000
with

2771
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:47,000
every project

2772
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,000
. There's an environmental statement

2773
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,400
in almost every staff

2774
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,000
report you see that reflects

2775
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,000
the review. I would not call

2776
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:58,000
it a ceqa waiver. We are complying

2777
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,000
and identifying exemptions

2778
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,400
that apply and making

2779
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,400
the staff best recommendation.

2780
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,000
in particular,

2781
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,000
these last few

2782
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:13,000
projects do not have the particular physical

2783
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,000
impact on

2784
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:18,600
the environment . Staff has identified that.

2785
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,000
we can spend some time with the councilmember

2786
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,000
and explain the staff perspective.

2787
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:30,600
occasionally there will be situations where

2788
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:35,000
the staff and council and

2789
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,000
members of the public may disagree

2790
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:38,000
about particular issues but these

2791
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,600
exceptions, I think they very clearly

2792
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:43,000
apply to these projects that have

2793
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,000
just

2794
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,000
been discussed.

2795
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,000
>>

2796
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:58,200
thank you. We are good with questions

2797
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
>> first

2798
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,000
of all, thank you for the hard work

2799
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,000
and the fact

2800
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:10,000
that we are implementing policy

2801
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:13,000
and putting in place policy

2802
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,000
to implement strategies

2803
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:18,000
this

2804
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:23,000
is about identifying incubator space

2805
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:26,600
for potential business and innovation incubators.

2806
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:28,000
we have that listed in the downtown

2807
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:31,000
dublin section. I would love to

2808
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,000
see that up a level

2809
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,400
or two so that

2810
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,000
clearly it

2811
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:41,000
is a goal for us,

2812
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,000
not necessarily in the downtown. We

2813
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:45,400
want to make sure

2814
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:49,000
we have that somewhere. We

2815
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,000
have a pretty wide area

2816
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:55,000
. It could be there, it could be at

2817
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,000
sierra court. For me personally I

2818
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,000
would like to see and implementation

2819
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:02,000
measure of identifying the space.

2820
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:03,000
I'm

2821
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:04,000
not sure that I love it underneath

2822
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,000
the downtown area. That would

2823
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,000
be my only question

2824
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:10,000
is why are we continuing to put that

2825
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,400
in the downtown area

2826
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:15,000
instead of a little bit higher level,

2827
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,000
maybe under and filled development

2828
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,000
or higher development in general.

2829
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,000
>> we have

2830
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:25,000
targeted the downtown area. However,

2831
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,000
that

2832
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:28,000
is something we will be looking at

2833
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:31,000
citywide as we will doubt

2834
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,000
other areas. Of course, we will look

2835
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,000
to identify incubator spaces there

2836
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,000
as well

2838
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,000
other place within the city that can

2839
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,000
provide the benefit.

2840
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:43,000
we listed it under downtown but it

2841
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:45,000
is something that

2842
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:46,000
we plan on being aware of as we continue

2843
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,000
to

2844
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:49,000

2845
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,000
opportunities to place

2846
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,000
incubator spaces in the city.

01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:39,000
extension project

2898
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,400
. This project extends dublin

2899
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:49,000
boulevard from its current terminus

2900
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:51,400
at the intersection of

2901
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,000
fallon road

2902
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:55,000
passing through unincorporated alameda

2903
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,000
county connecting to

2904
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,000
the intersection

2905
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:02,000
of north canyon parkway in the city

2906
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,000
of

2907
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,000
livermore. This extension

2908
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,000
has been planned since 1984

2909
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,000
and it is included in the general plan as

2910
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,000
well as the general plans for the

2911
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:15,000
cities of livermore

2912
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,000
and alameda county and several other

2913
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:19,000
mining documents. The

2914
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,400
city of dublin, livermore

2915
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,000
are the project partners. In

2916
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,000
may 2020,

2917
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,000
the city council approved a cooperative

2918
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,000
agreement between the

2919
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,000
three partners . We

2920
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,000
are closely working with the city

2921
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,000
of livermore as

2922
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,000
well as alameda

2923
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,000
on the design phase of the project. This

2924
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:46,600
table shows the current project status

2925
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,400
and schedule . The 95% design

2926
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,000
is currently in process

2927
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,000
and is anticipated to be completed

2928
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,000
by

2929
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,000
summer 2025.

2930
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,000
the final design is anticipated to

2931
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,000
be completed

2932
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:03,000
in 2026.

2933
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,000
environmental mitigation and right-of-way

2934
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,400
will move with the

2935
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,000
final design . A portion of

2936
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,600
the project and construction will start

2937
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,000
once all of the funding has been identified

2938
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,000
and all

2939
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,000
implements have been granted as

2940
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:25,000
well as the right-of-way acquired.

2941
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:29,000
just some more background in terms

2942
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:31,000
of the

2943
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,400
design changes. In spring 2023,

2944
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,400
the project was presented

2945
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:40,000
to alameda county by the

2946
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:43,000
advisory committee. Through this process

2947
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,400
various revisions were identified

2948
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,400
including to address comments

2949
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:53,000
as well as to make the project consistent

2950
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:54,000
with latest policies and

2951
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,000
guidelines, especially related to

2952
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,000
the multimodal

2953
01:52:58,000 --> 01:52:59,000
elements and make sure the project

2954
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,000
is competitive

2955
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,000
in terms of grant applications

2956
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,400
and future funding opportunities.

2957
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,000
city staff worked

2958
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:12,000
with the fallon east group and

2959
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,000
worked on the design of access points

2960
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,000
as well as

2961
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,000
the properties. This resulted in

2962
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:22,600
a substantial amount of design changes

2963
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,400
and required an amendment

2964
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,000
with the alameda contract .

2965
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:30,400
in september, 2024 the commission

2966
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:35,000
approved a contract amendment in

2967
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,400
the amount of $1.3 million

2968
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,000
to allow us to continue to

2969
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:44,000
move forward with the design.

2970
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,000
the project does have direct

2971
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:47,000
and indirect impacts on the environment.

2972
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,000
construction will start

2973
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:51,000
only when we

2974
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,000
have the various environmental permits

2975
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:55,000
that are needed

2976
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:56,000
to mitigate the impacts. With that

2977
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,000
in mind, in

2978
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,400
february 2023 city council approved

2979
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,400
an agreement to prepare

2980
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,000
mitigation package to address

2981
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:08,000
the mitigation requirements. Work

2982
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:10,000
on this

2983
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:13,000
mitigation package is currently

2984
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,600
in progress and is anticipated that

2985
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,000
the mitigation package will be presented

2986
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:22,000
and submitted

2987
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:26,000
to the resource agency is one plans

2988
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,000
are completed. In

2989
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:31,400
terms of project costs,

2990
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:33,000
preliminary

2991
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,000
engineering is about $153.6 million.

2992
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,000
the cost sharing

2993
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
assumes that

2994
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,000
the cost for the project will be shared

2995
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:43,000
between the cities

2996
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:45,000
of dublin and livermore based on the

2997
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:46,000
roadway

2998
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:50,000
in each jurisdiction as well as the assumption

2999
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,000
that there will be a

3000
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:53,000
cost sharing for a portion of the roadway

3001
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,000
in unincorporated

3002
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,000
alameda county. And also assumes that

3003
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:01,600
the half-mile section of the roadway

3004
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:03,000
stays as county land. Based on those

3005
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:05,000
assumptions,

3006
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,400
the estimate for dublin

3007
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,000
is $126.1 million

3008
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:13,600
and livermore would be 27 point $5 million

3009
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,000
--$27.5 million.

3010
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:19,000
the plan,

3011
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:20,000
once it is complete will allow us

3012
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,000
to have

3013
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:26,000
a more accurate cost estimate.

3014
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:29,000
the estimate will be updated at

3015
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:32,000
that time. Currently the city

3016
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,000
has

3017
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:39,000
$76 million

3018
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:41,000
in funding including $63 million coming

3019
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:43,000
from the feed

3020
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:46,000
. In march, 2023

3021
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:48,000
, the city council approved a plan

3022
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,000
that was

3023
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,000
presented to advance

3024
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:53,000
eastern dublin the funds using internal

3025
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,000
city sources.

3026
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:56,000
staff created a general fund reserve

3027
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:58,000
the project

3028
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,000
to act as a cash flow

3029
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:06,200
advance. The general fund would be reimbursed

3030
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:08,000
as development occurs and money comes

3031
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,000
in in terms of development fees.

3032
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:11,000
the current balance in the general

3033
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,000
fund reserve for

3034
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:17,000
the project is 59 point $5 million.

3035
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:20,000
the remaining is anticipated to be

3036
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,000
designated by the

3037
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
end of the year. Staff is continuing

3038
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,400
to work with alameda

3039
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:32,000
and look at future grant opportunities

3040
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,000
to identify the

3041
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:38,000
needed funds for dublin's share

3042
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:39,000
of the unfunded cost. With that, I

3043
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:41,000
will pass

3044
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,000
it over to the deputy city manager

3045
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
who was on the phone.

3046
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,000
>> hazel weatherford, deputy

3047
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:52,000
city manager. As a point of reference

3048
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:53,000
I have included a map of the development

3049
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,000
zone including

3050
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,000
approximately 285 acres

3051
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:01,400
amongst five company owners.

3052
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:05,000
you can see how the parcels are laid out.

3053
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:07,000

3054
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:10,000
--city

3055
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:11,000
staff continues to hold meetings where

3056
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,000
we discuss topics from the schedule,

3057
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:14,000
mitigation efforts, right-of-way,

3058
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,000
development agreements

3059
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:19,000
and valley

3060
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:21,000
link. The last meeting was december

3061
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:22,000
12 where we provided

3062
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:24,000
an update on the contract amendment

3063
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:26,000
which was

3064
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:28,000
just recently spoken about.

3065
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,000
as it relates to the ballot measure, that

3066
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:32,000
was approved

3067
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:35,000
either voters and the city council

3068
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:38,000
certified those election results december 17.

3069
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,000
the measure amended the plan

3070
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,000
to allow future approval for limited

3071
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,000
commercial development.

3072
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,000
I would like

3073
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,000
to briefly address the topic of future

3074
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,000
potential annexation in relation

3075
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:54,000
to the measure which contemplates

3076
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,000
development along

3077
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,000
the roadway. It's an horton to know

3078
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,000
any future

3079
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:01,000
annexation would. The required

3080
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:03,000
direction and approval from the city council

3081
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:04,000
and is not

3082
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,000
part of tonight's action.'s draft

3083
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,000
will continue to collaborate

3084
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:12,000
with livermore as we have been doing.

3085
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:13,000
I want

3086
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:15,000
to clarify that the project in annexation

3087
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:16,000
are entirely

3088
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,000
two separate matters. At this time

3089
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,000
staff is not proposing

3090
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,000
any changes to the current approach.

3091
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,000
the focus remains on advancing the

3092
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:27,000
project in alignment city priorities.

3093
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,000
the project is a highly complex infrastructure

3094
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:36,000
undertaking that involves coordination

3095
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,000
across multiple jurisdictions,

3096
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,000
agencies and funding sources in

3097
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:41,000
addition to addressing significant

3098
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,400
education requirements. Public works

3099
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:46,000
and of city

3100
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
manager's office have collaborated closely

3101
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:52,000
to advance this project. However,

3102
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:55,000
with my

3103
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:56,000
expanded oversight responsibilities

3104
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:57,000
to include the finance department

3105
01:58:57,000 --> 01:58:59,000
and communications, there

3106
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:00,000
is a need to adjust resources and secure

3107
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,000
project management

3108
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:06,000
support to assist the public for team

3109
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:08,000
.

3110
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:11,000
the agreement will provide the team

3111
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:14,000
with additional resources and expertise

3112
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:18,000
to ensure the successful progression

3113
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,000
of the initiative.

3114
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,000
grable and scott is a professional

3115
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:25,000

3116
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,000
years specializing in transportation

3117
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:30,000
and collaborating with regional agencies

3118
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:31,000
and getting addressing

3119
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,000
complex mitigation efforts. The firm

3120
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:35,000
has significant

3121
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:38,000
experience with hctz

3122
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:41,000
-- a.c.t.s . Notably

3123
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:45,000
the principal is a former deputy executive director

3124
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:46,000
of the implementing agency for

3125
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:48,000
the dublin boulevard extension project

3126
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:50,000
and brings

3127
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,000
invaluable expertise

3128
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:54,000
having led the team currently overseeing

3129
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:56,000
the project.

3130
01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:58,000
building on

3131
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,000
the expertise and leadership, the

3132
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:03,000
portfolio projects demonstrate their ability

3133
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:05,000
on similar initiative.

3134
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,000
a few that I

3135
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:09,000
have called out were listed on the screen.

3136
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:12,000
the union city lakes project.

3137
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,000
state route 92.

3138
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:18,000
the white street interchange project.

3139
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:21,000
san mateo express lanes and city

3140
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,000
of hayward. This concludes the staff presentation.

3141
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:27,000
we are available for questions

3142
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:28,000
as well as a consultant who has joined

3143
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,000
us

3144
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,000
this evening.

3145
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,000
>> thank you very much.

3146
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,400
do we have questions?

3147
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:38,000
>>

3148
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:41,000
I am going to keep with my

3149
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:44,000
theme of ceqa for a couple more minutes.

3150
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:45,000
this project, the dublin boulevard

3151
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,000
extension project is

3152
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,400
undergoing extensive ceqa? Correct?

3153
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:54,000
>> that is correct. The process was completed

3154
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:56,000
a few

3155
02:00:57,000 --> 02:00:58,000
years ago.

3156
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,000
>>

3157
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,000
any future development on

3158
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:03,000
any of these parcels the road will

3159
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:05,000
go through would also be subject

3160
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:08,000
to additional regardless of the road itself?

3161
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:09,000
development projects would be required

3162
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:11,000
to go through

3163
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:14,000
as well?

3164
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:19,000
but none of that is what we are talking

3165
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:20,000
about. I'm trying

3166
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:21,000
to clarify for the public that has

3167
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:23,000
been concerned that

3168
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:27,000
they are tying this together

3169
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,000
with the lack of for insufficient

3170
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:32,000
ceqa . The roadway

3171
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,000
itself has had quite significant

3172
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:39,000
ceqa. Part of what we are asking

3173
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:42,000
is to help us with the implementation

3174
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:44,000
of some of the measures that

3175
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:45,000
were identified. Is that correct?

3176
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:47,000
>> that

3177
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:49,000
is correct.

3178
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:51,000
>> thank you.

3179
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:52,000
to further separate with what we are

3180
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:54,000
trying

3181
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:56,000
to do tonight is that no actual development

3182
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:59,600
is contemplated. If down the line

3183
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:03,000
council took some action to annex

3184
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:05,000
that parcel into dublin

3185
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:06,000
and further action was taken to rezone

3186
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:08,000
any of

3187
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
that property and we eventually

3188
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:15,000
allowed some limited development that

3189
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:18,000
would also be subject to

3190
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:19,000
ceqa .

3191
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:21,000
>>

3192
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:25,000
that is correct.

3193
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,000
>> thank you.

3194
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:32,000
I have no other questions at

3195
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:33,000
the moment.

3196
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:34,000
>> easy questions for

3197
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:36,000
you. I think we all understand

3198
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,000
your resource constrained

3199
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,000
and that is why you decided to seek

3200
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:44,000
consulting services.

3201
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:46,000
that makes a lot of sense. I would

3202
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:47,000
like

3203
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,000
to understand, maybe you can provide

3204
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:50,000
me with a little more color.

3205
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:51,000
you certainly have a great resume.

3206
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:54,000
they have been involved in

3207
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:56,000
a lot of like projects.

3208
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,000
what was the process you went through

3209
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:00,000
in determining

3210
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,000
that

3211
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:06,000
this was where you wanted to go. Did

3212
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:07,000
you talk to anybody else? How are

3213
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:09,000
we

3214
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:11,000
getting to this point?

3215
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:13,000
>> this

3216
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:15,000
is all a product of

3217
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:19,000
timing. I became city manager in a over.

3218
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,400
the deputy director retired

3219
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,400
in december and went

3220
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:28,000
to work for this firm

3221
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:29,000
which

3222
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:30,000
has done countless large transportation

3223
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:33,600
and infrastructure projects. I have reassigned

3224
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:37,000
hazel and given her larger duties

3225
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:39,000
in the

3226
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,000
organization related to finance and

3227
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,000
communications. Looking at what I'm

3228
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,000
expected to deliver on , one of

3229
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:49,000
the projects is the dublin boulevard extension.

3230
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:51,000
I believe the

3231
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,000
project needs

3232
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,000
more resources. It made sense with

3233
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:00,000
the timing

3234
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:01,000
of everything happening that we could

3235
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:02,000
take someone who

3236
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:04,000
has recently worked on the project

3237
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:06,000
who has

3238
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:09,000
the relationships with the property owners

3239
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:10,000
and understands mitigation efforts

3240
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,000
and worked on

3241
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:13,000
the road when he was employed here

3242
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:15,000
for the city of

3243
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:16,000
dublin. That is the perfect fit for

3244
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:18,000
us. I wanted

3245
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:20,000
to

3246
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:22,000
take advantage of the timing and get

3247
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,000
him on board.

3248
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:29,000
the city of dublin will not be

3249
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:31,000
his only client. This will be one

3250
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,000
of his many projects. Can be

3251
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:34,000
honest and say I do not know how much

3252
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:35,000
we are going to use

3253
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:37,000
him. We have a three-year contract

3254
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:39,000
.

3255
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:42,000
he will certainly take over the duties

3256
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:43,000
hazel had. He will coordinate with

3257
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:45,000
the

3258
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,000
property owners

3259
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,600
. My primary purpose is to deliver

3260
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,000
this project.

3261
02:04:58,000 --> 02:04:59,000
I expect him to be a resource

3262
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:00,000
in helping them do that also.

3263
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:01,000
>> that

3264
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:02,000
is a good segue

3265
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:04,000
to my next question. There's a three-year

3266
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
term in this agreement.

3267
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:09,000
the amount one could say in relation

3268
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:10,000
to the whole amount we will be spending

3269
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,000
on the

3270
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,000
project evidently, it is small but meaningful

3271
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:19,000
. It made me focus on the contract

3272
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:22,000
itself. How do we ensure that

3273
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:23,000
gary

3274
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,000
or whomever will be working on this

3275
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,000
is meeting certain

3276
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,000
goals along that ?

3277
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,000
there is no

3278
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:36,000
evaluation. Are you

3279
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,600
starting to think about metrics? Goals

3280
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:42,000
and achievements?

3281
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:43,000
how do we hold them to making sure

3282
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:45,000
they

3283
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:46,000
are successful in meeting your goals

3284
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,400
so the money is

3285
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:50,000
well spent?

3286
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,000
>>

3287
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:52,000
my expectation is we deliver on the

3288
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:55,000
schedule we showed you tonight.

3289
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:58,000
some of those things take a really

3290
02:05:58,000 --> 02:05:59,000
long time to work out because

3291
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:01,000
you are dealing with property owners.

3292
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:04,000
regulatory agencies are not easy to

3293
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:06,000
work with. He saw the

3294
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:07,000
amount of time it took us to work

3295
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:08,000
with the bicycle and pedestrian

3296
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:10,000
group to ensure they are happy with

3297
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:12,000
the project. This

3298
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:13,000
is really long-term in nature. As

3299
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:15,000
long as we

3300
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:16,000
are sticking to the schedule I'm satisfied

3301
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:18,400
we are getting the

3302
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:20,000
work done. I expect that between us

3303
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:21,000
we

3304
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:22,000
will continue to work closely both

3305
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:24,000
with the

3306
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:26,000
public

3307
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:28,000
works amnesty resource to be sure

3308
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,400
we stay on track

3309
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:34,000
>> so you will set up some kind of

3310
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:36,000
a plan with

3311
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,400
specific goals and achievements?

3312
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:42,400
>> it will be similar

3313
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:46,000
to the plan hazel had for

3314
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:48,000
the project. We

3315
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:49,000
are not going to change the approach.

3316
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:52,000
we are just adding resources.

3317
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:53,000
>> with the understanding things shift

3318
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:54,000
but

3319
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:55,000
something that moves along. You are

3320
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:57,000
monitoring the process.

3321
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:00,600
no further questions at this point.

3322
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:03,000
>> thank

3323
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:05,000
you. I just have two questions . Most

3324
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,000
of the

3325
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:10,000
other questions I had have already

3326
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,000
been answered. You mentioned the

3327
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:15,000
ceqa analysis regarding

3328
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:18,400
dublin boulevard extension and

3329
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:22,000
could you give us some timing in terms

3330
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:24,400
of when that was

3331
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:27,000
last conducted?

3332
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,000
>> I think it

3333
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,000
was around 2019. The preliminary design

3334
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:36,000
started around 2016 that

3335
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,000
was followed by

3336
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:41,000
work on the environmental phase of

3337
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:43,000
the project

3338
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:44,000
and more recently we also did clearance

3339
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:46,000
of

3340
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:47,000
the project.

3341
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,000
>> okay.

3342
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:51,000
next question is probably an

3343
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:52,000
easy one but to kind of highlight

3344
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:54,000
this project

3345
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:57,000
in relation

3346
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:00,000
to the open space initiative,

3347
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:01,000
could you just add some context or

3348
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:03,000
color to that?

3349
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:06,000
>>

3350
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:07,000
the project itself has little to do

3351
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,000
with

3352
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,000
the open space initiative.

3353
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:13,000
what the open space initiative said

3354
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:16,000
was in a certain time we

3355
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,000
would study whether

3356
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,000
the area that is currently in unincorporated

3357
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,000
alameda county

3358
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,000
would help fund the extension. That's

3359
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:25,000
how they are related. I do not have

3360
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:27,000
any direction

3361
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,400
from the city council

3362
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:33,000
. I have not been in front of you

3363
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:34,000
to start analyzing that option. When

3364
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:36,000
we do that it will

3365
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:37,000
be in collaboration with livermore

3366
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:39,000
and we will

3367
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:43,000
conduct that process in an open and

3368
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,000
transparent fashion.

3369
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,000
>> my last question is just around

3370
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,000
the cost

3371
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:51,000
. I'm just trying to

3372
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,000
reconcile the total amount, total

3373
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,000
estimated amount

3374
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,000
is $153 million.

3375
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:02,000
if I understand correctly the

3376
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,000
city funds have $76 million. The

3377
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:08,000
remainder would come from future grants for

3378
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,000
what are

3379
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:14,600
you thinking in terms of that?

3380
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,000
>> the shares $126 million which leaves

3381
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:18,000
us with rough the

3382
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:20,000
about $50 million that would need

3383
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:22,000
to be identified

3384
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:25,000
through other sources

3385
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:28,000
.

3386
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:29,000
transportation development fees only

3387
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,000
cover

3388
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,400
$76 million there's 26 point $5 million

3389
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:37,000
within that $153.6 million

3390
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:40,000
. That is dependent,

3391
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:43,000
it assumes

3392
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:47,000
that portion of the roadway and county

3393
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:50,000
land stays in the county .

3394
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:52,000
>> okay. The idea

3395
02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:56,000
is to identify those funding sources

3396
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:58,400
and have that all

3397
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:00,000
lined up?

3398
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:01,000
>>

3399
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:02,000
that is correct.

3400
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:03,000
>> thank you. John,

3401
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:05,000
do you have questions?

3402
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:07,000
>> no further comment from

3403
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:10,000
me. I am satisfied with the update.

3404
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:11,000
>> I do have a few questions here.

3405
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:13,000
I heard

3406
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:16,000
comments about

3407
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:22,400
four lanes and six lanes. I also hurt things

3408
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,000
up why we would choose to do six

3409
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:26,000
lanes. Part of the reason is we want

3410
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:28,000
to have

3411
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,000
bike lanes

3412
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:32,000
and pedestrian lanes so we have a

3413
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:33,000
better chance to

3414
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:35,000
gather funding. Can you elaborate

3415
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:37,000
on that?

3416
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:40,000
>> the six lanes

3417
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:43,600
is vehicular lanes within the city

3418
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:46,000
of dublin up to the intersection

3419
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:49,600
. That has been identified through the

3420
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:53,000
ceqa process and the environmental

3421
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:54,000
traffic analysis that was

3422
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:56,000
done as part of previous studies.

3423
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:58,000
than the

3424
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:01,000
road narrows to four lanes

3425
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:02,000
in the unincorporated alameda county

3426
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:04,000
portion

3427
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:08,000
as well as towards livermore.

3428
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:09,000
I do want to emphasize it's not just

3429
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:11,000
vehicular

3430
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:13,000
lanes. There is a bike

3431
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:14,000
path included in the design and being

3432
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,000
planned as part

3433
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:19,000
of the project. The reason

3434
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:20,000
design changes I referred to in response

3435
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:22,000
to

3436
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:25,000
comments include

3437
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,000
the change from having class

3438
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:32,000
ii bike lanes to protect the

3439
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,000
likely in san intersection

3440
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:38,000
. That was done to make it better

3441
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:40,000
in terms of

3442
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:44,000
the multimodal connectivity to position

3443
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:45,000
ourselves better for funding.

3444
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:47,000
>>

3445
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:48,000
I would just

3446
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:50,000
want to point that out. Another thing

3447
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:52,000
is this road

3448
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:59,000
has been here for 30 years.

3449
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:02,000
it was livermore was always a great

3450
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:04,400
extension project. Yesterday we

3451
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:08,000
received a letter from the mayor

3452
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:11,000
of livermore. I have this

3453
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:13,000
in front of me. He said,

3454
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:14,000
the city of dublin and livermore have

3455
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:16,000
been working collaboratively

3456
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:19,000
for a number of years

3457
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:20,000
on the dublin boulevard extension

3458
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:22,000
project. Livermore

3459
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:25,400
is working with us,

3460
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,000
collaboratively on

3461
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:31,000
this project.

3462
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:34,000
with that said, that is all

3463
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:38,000
my questions. We will open public comments.

3464
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,000
>> I do have

3465
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:43,000
speaker, surely lewandowski.

3466
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,000
>> please go ahead.

3467
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:52,000
>> back again.

3468
02:12:56,000 --> 02:12:59,000
I understand this topic was not really

3469
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:01,000
about measure ii but I'm taking advantage

3470
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:02,000
of the fact that you mentioned that.

3471
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:04,000
I

3472
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:07,000
wanted it noted and recorded

3473
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:10,000
for the sake of the public to remind them

3474
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:11,000
and let them be aware that there is

3475
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,000
pending litigation on

3476
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:16,000
measure ii . I

3477
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:20,000
wanted to make sure that

3478
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:21,000
was recorded in the public is aware

3479
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:22,000
that the

3480
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:23,000
effort is still moving forward.

3481
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:24,000
>>

3482
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,000
we will close

3483
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:28,000
. Thank

3484
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:29,000
you for the public comment. Let's

3485
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,000
come back to

3486
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:35,000
any additional comments or questions?

3487
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:38,000
>> is this for discussion purposes?

3488
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:44,000
>> if I may lead off.

3489
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:49,000
I am very

3490
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:50,000
much in favor of ringing in a consultant.

3491
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,000
it makes a

3492
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:55,000
lot of sense

3493
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:58,000
. I know how

3494
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:00,000
hard the city works . They have a

3495
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:02,000
lot

3496
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:05,000
of responsibilities and they are

3497
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:07,400
resource constrained. I think

3498
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:09,000
the term of the agreement, the amount

3499
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:11,000
is

3500
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:12,000
high. I am not against it but I would

3501
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:14,000
like to

3502
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:15,000
see maybe a little more oversight

3503
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:17,000
into

3504
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:20,000
so that . I would like to make a proposal that

3505
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:23,000
we have annual reviews of this

3506
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:25,000
.

3507
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:28,000
what that

3508
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:32,000
does is measures

3509
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:35,000
progress.

3510
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:37,000
the services that

3511
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:39,000
are going to be provided here are

3512
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:41,000
very critical. It's a

3513
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:45,200
very complex situation. I would advocate for

3514
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:48,000
making sure that the goals are achieved

3515
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:50,000
. I do

3516
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:53,000
not see any issue in my head

3517
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:56,000
with coming back once year and looking

3518
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,600
at that and extending the contract.

3519
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:01,000
you see

3520
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:02,000
these and other contracts also. You

3521
02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:03,000
have a commitment amount but you also

3522
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:05,000
have

3523
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:06,000
renewal within. It's not uncommon.

3524
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:08,000
that

3525
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:11,600
is what I would propose . Something

3526
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,000
like that.

3527
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:18,000
>> we do that where we have an initial

3528
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:19,000
term

3529
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:21,000
and then we have an additional extension

3530
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:23,000
with the option to extend

3531
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:24,000
we usually don't have one year for

3532
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:26,000
a

3533
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:30,000
consulting contract on a project

3534
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:33,000
this side --this size. This

3535
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:36,600
is a not to exceed contract

3536
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:40,000
. I am actually

3537
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:42,000
comfortable with the way it is. I

3538
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:44,000
do not want to burden staff with

3539
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:45,000
having to do additional . I believe

3540
02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:47,000
we

3541
02:15:48,000 --> 02:15:51,000
have oversight because it is task

3542
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:53,000
based and not

3543
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:56,400
an open-ended contract where

3544
02:15:57,000 --> 02:15:59,000
we have tons

3545
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:00,000
of just go work because the scope

3546
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:03,000
of work is quite detailed

3547
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:05,000
with specific tasks and

3548
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:08,000
additional possible as needed tasks

3549
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:11,000
that are also under the cat.

3550
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:12,000
I am comfortable with the way it is.

3551
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:14,000
I think we

3552
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:17,000
have a some sufficient

3553
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:21,200
oversight. We can ask at any time

3554
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:27,000
how much we have spent

3555
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:28,000
.

3556
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:30,000
>> I cannot support that.

3557
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:32,000
>> more comments?

3558
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:36,000
>> I appreciate your comments. I am

3559
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:38,000
happy to come back to the

3560
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:39,000
city council. I would like to be in

3561
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,000
front

3562
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:44,000
of you more often with this project.

3563
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:45,000
if it is a question of being back

3564
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:47,000
in front of

3565
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:49,000
you after a year

3566
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:51,000
and explaining what everybody worked

3567
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:54,000
on and the progress we made

3568
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:57,000
in putting the I have no problem

3569
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:58,000
with that.

3570
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:00,000
>> I am

3571
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:02,000
a big proponent of hiring

3572
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:03,000
consultants when needed. I'm also

3573
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:05,000
a big opponent

3574
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:08,000
of key performance indicators

3575
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:09,000
. Having the regular check-in and

3576
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:11,000
status of dates

3577
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:14,000
on a project of this magnitude,

3578
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:15,000
I think it's important to get that

3579
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:17,000
visibility and

3580
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,400
line of sight. It

3581
02:17:21,000 --> 02:17:24,000
sounds like it is a new vendor

3582
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:27,000
. I think just given that

3583
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:30,000
and the importance of the project

3584
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:32,000
and seeing it

3585
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:33,000
to fruition I think the chickens are

3586
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:35,000
a great idea.

3587
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:38,000
>> john, any comments?

3588
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:41,000
>> no.

3589
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:45,000
I do have some operational thought

3590
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:46,000
.

3591
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:48,000
I can refer that to colleen later

3592
02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:50,000
but I am

3593
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:52,000
a 17 year consultant myself so I

3594
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:54,000
understand how these things go so

3595
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:56,000
I do not

3596
02:17:57,000 --> 02:18:00,000
object to any of the

3597
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:02,000
comments made.

3598
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:03,000
>> thank you. I also appreciate how

3599
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:05,000
the city operates.

3600
02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:08,000
we do use a lot

3601
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:09,000
of great consultants who share their

3602
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:11,000
expertise with

3603
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:14,000
us. Actually,

3604
02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:16,000
I think in some ways it's a very efficient

3605
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:18,000
way to

3606
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:20,000
do the work

3607
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,000
. I

3608
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:27,000
know that many cities have when wearing police

3609
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:30,000
then we would have for the

3610
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:33,000
same size of population but

3611
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:36,000
we were able to manage our

3612
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:38,000
city expenses through

3613
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:41,600
the very great way using consultant

3614
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:44,000
and contractors and

3615
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:46,000
we were able to operate very efficiently

3616
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:48,000
and

3617
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:50,000
I feel comfortable

3618
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:53,000
with what we have today and I also appreciate

3619
02:18:53,000 --> 02:18:57,200
you want to bring in this project

3620
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:02,000
once a year. I appreciate

3621
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:03,000
that. With that said I will look for

3622
02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:05,000
the motion

3623
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:07,000
.

3624
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,000
>> the motion would be with

3625
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:10,000
the addition.

3626
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:12,000
>> can we

3627
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:15,000
add this? Who wants to do

3628
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:16,000
a motion.

3629
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:17,000
>> I

3630
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:22,400

that is really at. We can determine

3635
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:35,000
how it is going to

02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:38,000

3751
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:06,000
>>

3752
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:09,000
I looked at

3753
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:13,000
the data on here. I am very

3754
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:15,000
supportive of this. I

3755
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,000
think it is perfect. The venue is

3756
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:19,000
perfect. I was wondering if you could

3757
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,000
comment on the budget for this . Some

3758
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:25,000
of this seems high. Maybe

3759
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:27,000
you can give

3760
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:28,000
a little my cover. Staff can give

3761
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:30,400
a little more color

3762
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:33,000
on the expectations.

3763
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:36,000
>> of

3764
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:39,400
course. As you saw,

3765
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:43,000
a majority of the cost will go

3766
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:46,000
to tenting and staging services we

3767
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:48,000
need to bring into the park.

3768
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:49,000
don bittle park does not have a lot

3769
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:51,000
of shade. Given

3770
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:55,000
that the event is in june it gets hot.

3771
02:24:55,000 --> 02:24:56,000
we will be bringing in large tents

3772
02:24:56,000 --> 02:24:58,000
to

3773
02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:00,000
vote --so folks can

3774
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:01,000
enjoy the event comfortably. Stages

3775
02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:03,000
for the performers

3776
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:07,000
and the ceremonies . Sound services,

3777
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:10,000
like that as well as security

3778
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:13,000
when we ring in large generators and

3779
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:15,000
equipment acted

3780
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:16,000
set up the night before. We like to

3781
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:18,000
be sure that is

3782
02:25:18,000 --> 02:25:19,000
secure. So when we arrive everything

3783
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:20,000
is where we left it.

3784
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:22,000
>> if I

3785
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:24,400
could add to that,

3786
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:27,000
there are some padding in

3787
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:28,000
the budget. We want to be sure we

3788
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:31,600
have enough for what we want

3789
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:33,000
to do and we

3790
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:35,000
did leave some room. We've never really

3791
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:36,000
done one of these

3792
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,000
one off celebrations. We've always

3793
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:40,000
just had

3794
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:41,000
the big two events. I do not expect

3795
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:43,000
we will spend

3796
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:46,000
that much. Really,

3797
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,000
the biggest expense like

3798
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,600
lauren indicated his shade, set up,

3799
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:54,000
there's no electrical out there. We

3800
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:56,000
have to sort of create something out

3801
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:58,400
of nothing. We do

3802
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:01,400
the same for splatter.

3803
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:05,000
that is three times as expensive

3804
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:08,000
and longer in duration. We did

3805
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:10,000
not really know

3806
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:13,000
how this was going to go . We are

3807
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:14,000
still flushing it out . It is certainly

3808
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,000
not going to

3809
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:20,200
go over 50. We thought it is appropriate.

3810
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:23,000
you don't have a 250th birthday party

3811
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:25,000
every year.

3812
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:26,000
you have one every 250 years. It is

3813
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:28,000
a cushion

3814
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:30,000
budget.

3815
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:32,400
>> I appreciate the analysis.

3816
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:39,000
>> thank you for

3817
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:41,000
the presentation. The question is,

3818
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:43,000
how much

3819
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:45,000
of this

3820
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:47,000
do you think will go towards this

3821
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:49,000
particular event.

3822
02:26:58,000 --> 02:26:59,000
a bulk of those activities will be

3823
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:01,000
held on

3824
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:05,000
that one. Some of the more ceremonial aspects

3825
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:07,000
except

3826
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:10,000
for that

3827
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:14,000
. The historical vehicles will be

3828
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:16,000
held through the

3829
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:20,000
picnic areas. We plan to use the whole park.

3830
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:22,400
>> perfect. I was going

3831
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:25,400
to make a comment

3832
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:33,000
that it seemed low.

3833
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:35,000
I am excited about the partnership.

3834
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:37,400
I am excited about

3835
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:39,000
the event itself. I

3836
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:41,000
hope you have parking considering

3837
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:43,000
we have

3838
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:46,000
the

3839
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:48,000
bridge opened.

3840
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:50,000
>> I know that

3841
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:52,000
john has questions.

3842
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:55,400
>> yes. Think you. This

3843
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:59,000
is exciting. My grandfather is a

3844
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:01,000
for me army

3845
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:04,000
--former army veteran of this

3846
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:05,000
is amazing. A few questions with regard

3847
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:07,000
to public safety.

3848
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:10,000
the first one being the parking

3849
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:14,000
lot can accommodate only so many. I

3850
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:15,000
presume part of those spaces will

3851
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:16,000
be taken

3852
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:17,000
up by trucks delivering or trucks

3853
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:19,400
that have to unload.

3854
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:32,000
there are complaints around the parking spots

3855
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:35,000
being taken . Is that walked to

3856
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:38,000
the event or make a healthy event

3857
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:40,400
. Can you share thoughts

3858
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:43,000
on that?

3859
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:44,000
>> similar to how we handle that because

3860
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:46,000
don

3861
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:50,000
bittle park is so close we

3862
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:52,000
can partner with

3863
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:02,000
b.a.r.t. Encouraging folks

3864
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:05,000
to take b.a.r.t. .

3865
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:07,400
we can also notify

3866
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:14,000
that we will be utilizing the space

3867
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:16,000
to expect additional

3868
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:20,600
traffic. We work with dublin police

3869
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:24,000
services to make sure that we

3870
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:25,000
are not overbooking anything.

3871
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:26,000
>> thank

3872
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:29,000
you. One more question and then

3873
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:31,000
--

3874
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:34,600
given what happened in new orleans

3875
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:38,000
, what are your thoughts around

3876
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:40,000
remediating

3877
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:42,000
or that something like that could

3878
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:44,000
happen

3879
02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:45,000
to mark

3880
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:47,000
>> again, prior to

3881
02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:49,000
every large event I meet

3882
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:50,000
with dublin police services to look

3883
02:29:50,000 --> 02:29:52,000
over traffic plans,

3884
02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:55,400
event layouts, we are

3885
02:29:56,000 --> 02:29:58,400
briefed on attendance expectations

3886
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:02,000
and we work with them to make

3887
02:30:02,000 --> 02:30:05,000
sure that we do plan to have them

3888
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:08,000
on site. Public safety is always number one

3889
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:11,600
when it comes to our events?

3890
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:16,000
>> any thoughts on

3891
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:17,000
barriers we would put to the road

3892
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:18,000
or sidewalk?

3893
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:19,000
>> we

3894
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:22,600
will take all precautions into consideration.

3895
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:25,400
>> I see the chief

3896
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:28,000
standing up . I do not think

3897
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:29,000
we have discussed that yet. We will

3898
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:32,000
when we get the final layout.

3899
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:34,000
here he comes.

3900
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:37,400
>> I am in trouble.

3901
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:40,000
>> we have

3902
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:44,000
access to numerous heavy-duty vehicle

3903
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:48,000
barricades to use for the event to

3904
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:50,400
mitigate any vehicular threat.

3905
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:53,000
>> okay. Chief,

3906
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:55,000
as we get closer to the date we will

3907
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:57,000
have you provided a date on what that

3908
02:30:57,000 --> 02:30:59,000
would look like.

3909
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:01,000
>> I

3910
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:02,000
can do that.

3911
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:03,000
>> thank you. Last question

3912
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:05,000
the history of

3913
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:07,000
camp parks is not solely army.

3914
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:09,000
we have multiple services that have

3915
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:11,000
in part

3916
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:15,000
of camp parks. The anniversary for

3917
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:17,400
the navy is october 13,

3918
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:20,400
1775. Is there something similar

3919
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:24,000
being requested from the navy

3920
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:26,400
because of their affiliation?

3921
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:30,000
>> we have not been approached for

3922
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:32,000
anything

3923
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:36,600
other than this event in june.

3924
02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:39,000
>> thank you. No further questions.

3925
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:41,000
>>

3926
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:45,000
thank you. Thank you all the great comments

3927
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:48,000
. I do have a few questions. How

3928
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:49,000
many people do you expect will attend

3929
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:51,000
this

3930
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:52,000
event

3931
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:54,000
>>

3932
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:56,000
>> as with any brand-new event,

3933
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:00,000
it is hard to anticipate in advance.

3934
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:01,000
based on the

3935
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:03,000
marketing efforts it will be similar

3936
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:06,000
to what we do with splatter

3937
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:09,000
or saint pats. The more the merrier

3938
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:11,000
as opposed to

3939
02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:14,000
just advertising

3940
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:18,000
to residents. We will do our own marketing efforts

3941
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:21,000
to active military and veterans

3942
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:23,400
. We anticipate large numbers.

3943
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:26,000
>> excellent. Another question I

3944
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:30,000
have, this is a very important part

3945
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:32,000
,

3946
02:32:33,000 --> 02:32:35,000
the army ,

3947
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:38,000
our history.

3948
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:41,400
I want to ask,

3949
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,400
are there any specific

3950
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:47,000
history related

3951
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:54,000
--any activities like that planned?

3952
02:32:57,000 --> 02:32:58,000
>> yes. In the meetings I

3953
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:00,000
have had thus far we have discussed

3954
02:33:00,000 --> 02:33:02,400
having informational booths that

3955
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,000
focus specifically on what camp

3956
02:33:06,000 --> 02:33:08,000
parks does as well

3957
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:09,000
as working with the city historian

3958
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:11,400
and all of that

3959
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:15,000
to ensure that we are

3960
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:16,000
accurately

3961
02:33:16,000 --> 02:33:19,000
representing and celebrating the history.

3962
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:21,000
>> I am really excited for this event.

3963
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:23,000
we want to

3964
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:26,000
see how this goes

3965
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:29,600
and maybe possibly to think something

3966
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:32,000
for an event

3967
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:35,600
like splatter, the parade or something

3968
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:38,400
. That is what I

3969
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:41,000

4003
02:34:57,000 --> 02:34:59,000
the situation in

4004
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:00,000

4005
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:02,000
to the chief

4006
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:03,000
. We are still fully operational and

4007
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:06,000
staffed. I just want the

4008
02:35:06,000 --> 02:35:08,000
community to be aware that we

4009
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:09,000
are assisting where we can but we

4010
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:11,000
remain safe

4011
02:35:12,000 --> 02:35:15,000
. We have heard all the comments

4012
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,000
from the community and we will be

4013
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:17,000
back

4014
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:18,000
in front of you with the fire chief

4015
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:20,000
to talk

4016
02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:22,000
about how we might respond to something similar.

4017
02:35:22,000 --> 02:35:24,000
that is

4018
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:26,000
all that I have.

4019
02:35:26,000 --> 02:35:28,000

4031
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:54,000

02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:57,000
to attend the aba energy committee

4033
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:00,000
. That was very informational. I was not

4034
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:03,000
on any particular subcommittee at

4035
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:05,000

4037
02:36:07,000 --> 02:36:08,000

4040
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:16,000
so that is really it

4041
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:17,000
in terms of commissions. I would

4042
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:19,000
