that your remote participation

70
00:02:03,194 --> 00:02:04,530
is part of your service as an

71
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:06,231

00:02:06,231 --> 00:02:08,000

>> excellent, it's like you read

91
00:02:45,405 --> 00:02:46,872
my mind of not having anyone,

92
00:02:46,872 --> 00:02:47,540
that's one of our government

93
00:02:47,540 --> 00:02:48,374
regulations you have to announce

94
00:02:48,374 --> 00:02:49,675
if there's anyone in the room

95
00:02:49,675 --> 00:02:51,444
with you.

96
00:02:51,444 --> 00:02:52,345
That sounds like that condition

97
00:02:52,345 --> 00:02:54,480
is not met nor are you in a

98
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,982
location for that.

99
00:02:55,982 --> 00:02:58,217

103
00:03:02,754 --> 00:03:04,754

104
00:03:04,958 --> 00:03:06,326

105
00:03:06,326 --> 00:03:07,961

commitment and support that this

292
00:08:59,490 --> 00:09:00,550
council provides to the

293
00:09:00,550 --> 00:09:02,352
diversity of the city.

294
00:09:02,352 --> 00:09:03,987
One of the things that's great

295
00:09:03,987 --> 00:09:05,789
is having that support and

296
00:09:05,789 --> 00:09:09,590
knowing that when you talk about

297
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:10,260
how you support the community

298
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:11,928

299
00:09:11,928 --> 00:09:16,128
that we're a city welcome to all

300
00:09:16,633 --> 00:09:19,303
you stand behind those words.

301
00:09:19,303 --> 00:09:19,480
Mompb a photo op or just to say

302
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,836
it.

303
00:09:20,836 --> 00:09:22,105
One of the things we like to do

304
00:09:22,105 --> 00:09:23,639
is invite folks to come to the

305
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:23,873
many events that we have

306
00:09:23,873 --> 00:09:25,175
planned.

307
00:09:25,175 --> 00:09:28,110
I won't cover all of them.

308
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:28,812
But I did want to give history.

309
00:09:28,812 --> 00:09:29,813
Initially our commission was

310
00:09:29,813 --> 00:09:31,480
built as the multi cultural

311
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,182
committee.

312
00:09:32,182 --> 00:09:34,170
Then the city understood the

313
00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:35,586
importance of focusing on more

314
00:09:35,586 --> 00:09:36,753
than just multi cultural at a

315
00:09:36,753 --> 00:09:37,888
single event but understanding

316
00:09:37,888 --> 00:09:40,591
the celebration of all of the

317
00:09:40,591 --> 00:09:42,860
diversity in our city.

318
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:43,559
Our pry mere event is our --

319
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,295

320
00:09:45,295 --> 00:09:47,295

322
00:09:49,166 --> 00:09:49,700
come on down.

323
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,602
But it is more than that.

324
00:09:51,602 --> 00:09:52,803
It is music, vendors, it is the

325
00:09:52,803 --> 00:09:54,805
ability to really celebrate all

326
00:09:54,805 --> 00:09:56,740
of the cultures.

327
00:09:56,740 --> 00:09:58,776
One of the things we like is as

328
00:09:58,776 --> 00:10:00,277
the city has grown and evolved

329
00:10:00,277 --> 00:10:02,413
over the last quarter century so

330
00:10:02,413 --> 00:10:03,314
has the nature of this month.

331
00:10:03,314 --> 00:10:05,215
We have events all throughout

332
00:10:05,215 --> 00:10:07,484
the month where we celebrate.

333
00:10:07,484 --> 00:10:09,319
We will be partnering with the

334
00:10:09,319 --> 00:10:10,320

335
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,188
coffee and culture.

336
00:10:11,188 --> 00:10:12,822
We are partnering with the

337
00:10:12,822 --> 00:10:14,658
library system.

338
00:10:14,658 --> 00:10:15,827
What is great is the youth

339
00:10:15,827 --> 00:10:16,427

340
00:10:16,427 --> 00:10:18,129

342
00:10:19,497 --> 00:10:20,164
So we have all kinds of

343
00:10:20,164 --> 00:10:21,966
different events happening

344
00:10:21,966 --> 00:10:23,966
throughout the month.

345
00:10:24,201 --> 00:10:25,536
So again we invite people to

346
00:10:25,536 --> 00:10:27,471

347
00:10:27,471 --> 00:10:28,539

349
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:32,443
want to thank the council for

00:13:11,938 --> 00:13:13,339
independent its use of license

389
00:13:13,339 --> 00:13:15,339
plate readers.

390
00:13:15,708 --> 00:13:15,975
Not seeking an alternative

391
00:13:15,975 --> 00:13:17,975
vendor.

392
00:13:18,611 --> 00:13:20,913
Putting everyone under constant

393
00:13:20,913 --> 00:13:22,648
surveillance is how our justice

394
00:13:22,648 --> 00:13:24,116
system isn't supposed to work,

395
00:13:24,116 --> 00:13:25,917
innocent until proven guilty.

396
00:13:25,917 --> 00:13:26,352
Identify a suspect, get a

397
00:13:26,352 --> 00:13:27,954
warrant, conduct an

398
00:13:27,954 --> 00:13:29,880
investigation.

399
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,323
using A.I. Cameras is the

400
00:13:31,323 --> 00:13:32,558
opposite of this process.

401
00:13:32,558 --> 00:13:34,270
There's no probable cause to

402
00:13:34,270 --> 00:13:37,270
surveil everyone all the time

403
00:13:37,163 --> 00:13:38,640
but that's what using ALPRs

404
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:38,831
amounts to.

405
00:13:38,831 --> 00:13:40,233
By continuing to use these

406
00:13:40,233 --> 00:13:42,635
systems the city is letting us

407
00:13:42,635 --> 00:13:44,836
know that we're all in a state

408
00:13:44,836 --> 00:13:47,540
of perpetual guilt waiting on

409
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:49,208
the police to decide on our

410
00:13:49,208 --> 00:13:50,910
crimes which flock provides

411
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:52,645
prewritten prompts.

412
00:13:52,645 --> 00:13:54,180
In APRIL the mayor said she was

413
00:13:54,180 --> 00:13:56,349
open to an audit of the flok

414
00:13:56,349 --> 00:13:57,984
data.

415
00:13:57,984 --> 00:14:00,984
Deflock elk grove published a

416
00:14:01,154 --> 00:14:01,954
community audit based on public

417
00:14:01,954 --> 00:14:03,954
records requests.

418
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:06,459
This indicates that the city of

419
00:14:06,459 --> 00:14:07,560
elk grove violated state law

420
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:09,560
with federal agencies.

421
00:14:09,963 --> 00:14:11,231
The city has claimed the data

422
00:14:11,231 --> 00:14:13,866
are secured and not shared on

423
00:14:13,866 --> 00:14:14,834
flok national network.

424
00:14:14,834 --> 00:14:15,935
Do the mayor, city councilors

425
00:14:15,935 --> 00:14:17,170
and chief of police not

426
00:14:17,170 --> 00:14:20,740
understand how it works or lying

427
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:21,107
about what happens to the data

428
00:14:21,107 --> 00:14:22,750
collected?

429
00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:23,242
While the city and police

430
00:14:23,242 --> 00:14:24,945
department state that the data

431
00:14:24,945 --> 00:14:26,613
are secure it is clear they have

432
00:14:26,613 --> 00:14:28,582
no way to even force that

433
00:14:28,582 --> 00:14:30,983
themselves or confirm its truth.

434
00:14:30,983 --> 00:14:33,586
Two weeks ago flock announced

435
00:14:33,586 --> 00:14:34,320
updates, recommending a 7-day

436
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720
retention period unless there's

437
00:14:36,922 --> 00:14:38,922
an active investigation.

438
00:14:41,695 --> 00:14:42,328
Yet a week later, a flock

439
00:14:42,328 --> 00:14:44,464
representative let slip that

440
00:14:44,464 --> 00:14:45,998
they retain data indefinitely.

441
00:14:45,998 --> 00:14:47,234
Flock terms and conditions state

442
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:48,902
even if the elk grove police

443
00:14:48,902 --> 00:14:51,902
department owns the data flock

444
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:55,309
has the right to, quote,

445
00:14:55,309 --> 00:14:57,111
nonexclusive royalty free to use

446
00:14:57,111 --> 00:14:59,780
and disclose customer data to

447
00:14:59,780 --> 00:15:02,820
provide the flock services.

448
00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:04,170
And bous customer support to

449
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:05,486
improve flock's products and

450
00:15:05,486 --> 00:15:06,553
services.

451
00:15:06,553 --> 00:15:08,255
While the city MAY claim it

452
00:15:08,255 --> 00:15:09,590
keeps our data safe these terms

453
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:11,191
make it clear the city does not

454
00:15:11,191 --> 00:15:13,160
have the power or authority to

455
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,995
do any such thing.

456
00:15:14,995 --> 00:15:16,563
There is no responsible secure

457
00:15:16,563 --> 00:15:17,865
way to maintain an active

458
00:15:17,865 --> 00:15:18,699
contract with flock and no

459
00:15:18,699 --> 00:15:20,968
reason to believe that a company

460
00:15:20,968 --> 00:15:22,100
that makes its money from spying

461
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:22,970
on everyone is telling the truth

462
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:26,570
about what it does with the

463
00:15:26,574 --> 00:15:27,941
information it collects.

464
00:15:27,941 --> 00:15:30,430
We deserve better than living in

465
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:31,645
a city where we are treated as

466
00:15:31,645 --> 00:15:31,912
suspects of crimes not yet

467
00:15:31,912 --> 00:15:33,514
committed.

468
00:15:33,514 --> 00:15:35,182
We should not have to be

469
00:15:35,182 --> 00:15:36,884
observed by a system that makes

470
00:15:36,884 --> 00:15:39,884
it possible and trivially easy

471
00:15:39,886 --> 00:15:40,921
for police officers to stalk and

472
00:15:40,921 --> 00:15:42,423
harass women.

473
00:15:42,423 --> 00:15:43,958
Immigrations and custom support

474
00:15:43,958 --> 00:15:45,993
to monitor activists or the

475
00:15:45,993 --> 00:15:46,560
federal government to observe

476
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,529
the movements of political

477
00:15:48,529 --> 00:15:50,300
opponents.

478
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:51,565
Whether the city believes it is

479
00:15:51,565 --> 00:15:52,466
aiding and abetting the sur very

480
00:15:52,466 --> 00:15:53,968
lance state isser.

481
00:15:53,968 --> 00:15:55,669
The purpose of this system is

482
00:15:55,669 --> 00:15:58,238
objectively to make it easier

483
00:15:58,238 --> 00:16:01,838
for those power to maintain it

484
00:16:03,643 --> 00:16:06,113
collecting inordinate -- for elk

485
00:16:06,113 --> 00:16:07,748
grove to do is ends its

486
00:16:07,748 --> 00:16:08,749
relationship with flock

487
00:16:08,749 --> 00:16:09,350
immediately and starting us as

488
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:11,750
citizens rather than suspects.

489
00:16:13,154 --> 00:16:15,154
Thank you.

490
00:16:16,657 --> 00:16:18,593
>> thank you.

491
00:16:18,593 --> 00:16:20,494
[Applause]

492
00:16:20,494 --> 00:16:24,940
All right, we need to conduct

493
00:16:24,232 --> 00:16:26,632
this meeting, thank you.

494
00:16:28,535 --> 00:16:32,135
Next up is noah arsalla followed

495
00:16:32,473 --> 00:16:34,473
by george doang.

496
00:16:36,770 --> 00:16:37,945
I'm sure I'm butchering it.

497
00:16:37,945 --> 00:16:40,448
>> sorry, gotta crouch down I

498
00:16:40,448 --> 00:16:41,482
get.

499
00:16:41,482 --> 00:16:44,180
oh, it says please do not adjust

500
00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:45,153
the microphones.

501
00:16:45,153 --> 00:16:47,255
I'm a heavily concerned elk

502
00:16:47,255 --> 00:16:48,722
grove resident.

503
00:16:48,722 --> 00:16:49,791
Alpr cameras and flock cameras

504
00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:52,260
specifically have been known to

505
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:54,195
be a failure and a public safety

506
00:16:54,195 --> 00:16:55,963
risk.

507
00:16:55,963 --> 00:16:57,165
Denver resident was wrongfully

508
00:16:57,165 --> 00:16:59,467
accused of package theft which

509
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:01,802
led to her having to get her car

510
00:17:01,802 --> 00:17:03,672
gps data, neighbor camera

511
00:17:03,672 --> 00:17:05,206
footage and phone records to

512
00:17:05,206 --> 00:17:06,908
show she wasn't in the area f

513
00:17:06,908 --> 00:17:08,576
she didn't have that proof she

514
00:17:08,576 --> 00:17:09,577
could have possibly been

515
00:17:09,577 --> 00:17:11,977
incarcerated and charged for

516
00:17:12,547 --> 00:17:14,548
something she did not do.

517
00:17:14,548 --> 00:17:16,384
Eva of rhode island a year ago

518
00:17:16,384 --> 00:17:18,219
was undergoing a routine traffic

519
00:17:18,219 --> 00:17:20,889
stop ending with her being

520
00:17:20,889 --> 00:17:22,230
wrongfully in handcuffs tied to

521
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:23,992
a random vehicle that was not

522
00:17:23,992 --> 00:17:25,894
registered to her.

523
00:17:25,894 --> 00:17:27,595
How did the cop accuse her?

524
00:17:27,595 --> 00:17:28,864
Using a flock camera that

525
00:17:28,864 --> 00:17:31,666
matched her name to another

526
00:17:31,666 --> 00:17:32,501
vehicle that was involved with a

527
00:17:32,501 --> 00:17:34,100
local crime.

528
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,637
When in reality it was not

529
00:17:35,637 --> 00:17:36,571
registered to at all.

530
00:17:36,571 --> 00:17:38,839
Arkansas and south carolina, the

531
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:40,574
use of a flock camera led to the

532
00:17:40,574 --> 00:17:42,430
result of officers drawing

533
00:17:42,430 --> 00:17:43,712
weapons on innocent people

534
00:17:43,712 --> 00:17:45,147
including a baby then later

535
00:17:45,147 --> 00:17:47,150
realizing that the plates were

536
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,150
incorrect.

537
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:52,755
Lind sip asacks from florida was

538
00:17:52,755 --> 00:17:53,655
charged with eight felonies

539
00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:55,523
including sear youse charges

540
00:17:55,523 --> 00:17:57,923
like vehicular homicide causing

541
00:18:00,962 --> 00:18:03,365
her to spend 13 days in jail and

542
00:18:03,365 --> 00:18:05,340
car impounded for 7 months.

543
00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:06,568
Her and her car weren't involved

544
00:18:06,568 --> 00:18:08,570
with this crime at all and this

545
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:09,404
was an error from the cops' end.

546
00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:13,400
That error being the use of

547
00:18:13,241 --> 00:18:15,241
flock cameras.

548
00:18:17,947 --> 00:18:19,548
So as a whole, flock and alpr

549
00:18:19,548 --> 00:18:21,617
cameras as a whole inherently

550
00:18:21,617 --> 00:18:22,184
pose a risk to our safety and

551
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,420
privacy which was once our

552
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:25,554
community right.

553
00:18:25,554 --> 00:18:27,456
It is something that our board

554
00:18:27,456 --> 00:18:28,357
members should respect, our

555
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:29,910
police department should

556
00:18:29,910 --> 00:18:30,225
respect, city should respect as

557
00:18:30,225 --> 00:18:32,160
a whole.

558
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,695
By doing that, they should

559
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:36,320
cancel the flock contract and

560
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,633
cancel any future alpr contract.

561
00:18:37,633 --> 00:18:40,102
I know a lot of people in the

562
00:18:40,102 --> 00:18:41,670
past and I'm sure people dad

563
00:18:41,670 --> 00:18:44,172
will express the same thing in

564
00:18:44,172 --> 00:18:46,172
probably better detail.

565
00:18:46,475 --> 00:18:48,477
But the city of elk grove has

566
00:18:48,477 --> 00:18:51,477
violated our privacy a multitude

567
00:18:51,513 --> 00:18:51,914
of time by giving data to

568
00:18:51,914 --> 00:18:53,914
outside agencies.

569
00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:55,751
If you are oblivious to the

570
00:18:55,751 --> 00:18:56,385
implications or lying through

571
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:57,486
your teeth the conclusion is the

572
00:18:57,486 --> 00:18:59,486
same.

573
00:18:59,622 --> 00:19:00,890
This is showing signs of

574
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:01,991
incompetence should you continue

575
00:19:01,991 --> 00:19:05,591
to persist with using any sort

576
00:19:05,862 --> 00:19:07,663
of alpr, and flock as a whole.

577
00:19:07,663 --> 00:19:09,632
Putting once again our privacy

578
00:19:09,632 --> 00:19:11,701
and our safety at risk.

579
00:19:11,701 --> 00:19:13,701
I yield.

580
00:19:14,269 --> 00:19:16,269
>> thank you.

581
00:19:18,608 --> 00:19:21,800
Next up is george.

582
00:19:24,847 --> 00:19:27,247
After george is omar.

583
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:29,383
Hi.

584
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:31,354
>> good evening, I'm george, and

585
00:19:31,354 --> 00:19:33,690
my family has lived in the city

586
00:19:33,690 --> 00:19:35,658
for about 30 years give or take.

587
00:19:35,658 --> 00:19:36,793
I'm here to express my

588
00:19:36,793 --> 00:19:38,895
opposition to the use of

589
00:19:38,895 --> 00:19:40,300
warrantless mass surveillance

590
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,198
automated license reader, alpr

591
00:19:42,198 --> 00:19:44,340
cameras.

592
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:46,434
An independent audit has

593
00:19:46,502 --> 00:19:48,738
revealed over 97% of the queries

594
00:19:48,738 --> 00:19:50,373
made came from entities not

595
00:19:50,373 --> 00:19:51,107
directly affiliated with the

596
00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:52,808
city of elk grove.

597
00:19:52,808 --> 00:19:55,145
This would appear to be a direct

598
00:19:55,145 --> 00:19:56,212
violation of sb34 but more

599
00:19:56,212 --> 00:19:56,879
importantly it represents a

600
00:19:56,879 --> 00:19:59,817
violation of the community trust

601
00:19:59,817 --> 00:20:01,251
in the city council.

602
00:20:01,251 --> 00:20:02,985
We asked through legitimate

603
00:20:02,985 --> 00:20:05,222
chance how our data was being

604
00:20:05,222 --> 00:20:07,900
used and what was used to do.

605
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:08,692
What we got back was a brick

606
00:20:08,692 --> 00:20:10,692
wall of redactions.

607
00:20:11,227 --> 00:20:14,227
Only cross referencing the data

608
00:20:14,564 --> 00:20:15,198
against that disclosed by

609
00:20:15,198 --> 00:20:17,167
woodland P.D. Did we learn the

610
00:20:17,167 --> 00:20:18,969
truth.

611
00:20:18,969 --> 00:20:19,636
That shouldn't happen in any

612
00:20:19,636 --> 00:20:21,772
municipality paying more than

613
00:20:21,772 --> 00:20:23,906
lip service to the ideal of

614
00:20:23,906 --> 00:20:24,808
transparency in government.

615
00:20:24,808 --> 00:20:26,176
Fundamentally, none of elk grove

616
00:20:26,176 --> 00:20:29,179
citizens have asked to live in

617
00:20:29,179 --> 00:20:30,747
the sort of open air prison that

618
00:20:30,747 --> 00:20:32,215
mass surveillance creates.

619
00:20:32,215 --> 00:20:33,616
Even under this regime this is

620
00:20:33,616 --> 00:20:36,553
the united states of america and

621
00:20:36,553 --> 00:20:37,120
we are still entitled to our

622
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,120
fourth amendment rights.

623
00:20:39,223 --> 00:20:41,859
We as a community deserve better

624
00:20:41,859 --> 00:20:42,926
than to have privacy violated by

625
00:20:42,926 --> 00:20:44,628
unaccountable vendors and

626
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,628
mismanaged federal agencies.

627
00:20:48,732 --> 00:20:52,332
We deserve better than to be

628
00:20:55,605 --> 00:20:56,440
stalked by police departments

629
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,942
which has happened in many

630
00:20:57,942 --> 00:20:59,942
states.

631
00:21:00,411 --> 00:21:01,612
We deserve better than finance

632
00:21:01,612 --> 00:21:03,680
the erosion of our own civil

633
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,680
liberties.

634
00:21:05,850 --> 00:21:08,219
I implore the city council to

635
00:21:08,219 --> 00:21:08,819
reject mass surveillance or get

636
00:21:08,819 --> 00:21:09,986
out of the way for those who

637
00:21:09,986 --> 00:21:11,986
will.

638
00:21:12,856 --> 00:21:15,325
Thank you and I yield my time.

639
00:21:15,325 --> 00:21:17,895
>> thank you, next up -- order

640
00:21:17,895 --> 00:21:19,895
in chambers please.

641
00:21:20,464 --> 00:21:22,464
Omar.

642
00:21:25,169 --> 00:21:28,769
Hi, omar after amarch is rob

643
00:21:29,306 --> 00:21:30,574
hansen.

644
00:21:30,574 --> 00:21:32,977
>> cool, good evening mayor and

645
00:21:32,977 --> 00:21:34,945
councilmembers.

646
00:21:34,945 --> 00:21:38,490
I'm omar, I'm an elk grove

647
00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:39,817
resident and I'm here to ask you

648
00:21:39,817 --> 00:21:43,253
to end the city's flock contract

649
00:21:43,253 --> 00:21:44,889
and stop alpr in elk grove.

650
00:21:44,889 --> 00:21:47,124
I want to start by making

651
00:21:47,124 --> 00:21:47,759
something clear, this is not an

652
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:50,159
argument against public safety

653
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,767
at all.

654
00:21:56,767 --> 00:21:58,690
With missing people, identifying

655
00:21:58,690 --> 00:22:00,690
possible suspects.

656
00:22:00,138 --> 00:22:03,700
The question is whether we need

657
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:05,209
to routinely collect information

658
00:22:05,209 --> 00:22:06,430
about where order people drive

659
00:22:06,430 --> 00:22:07,412
in order to accomplish this

660
00:22:07,412 --> 00:22:09,412
goal, ordinary people.

661
00:22:10,815 --> 00:22:11,449
Where they go to school,

662
00:22:11,449 --> 00:22:12,584
worship, where they eat, routes

663
00:22:12,584 --> 00:22:13,384
to work.

664
00:22:13,384 --> 00:22:13,818
Would you like that information

665
00:22:13,818 --> 00:22:15,285
about you recorded?

666
00:22:15,285 --> 00:22:17,285
Probably not.

667
00:22:18,790 --> 00:22:19,357
But it probably already was as

668
00:22:19,357 --> 00:22:21,757
there's two flock cameras

669
00:22:23,327 --> 00:22:24,395
outside of here.

670
00:22:24,395 --> 00:22:25,696
I understand there are stated

671
00:22:25,696 --> 00:22:28,960
safeguards such as access

672
00:22:28,566 --> 00:22:29,668
control policies and search

673
00:22:29,668 --> 00:22:32,971
restrictions and who can -- who

674
00:22:32,971 --> 00:22:34,372
the data is shared to.

675
00:22:34,372 --> 00:22:36,772
But safeguards don't eliminate

676
00:22:37,175 --> 00:22:37,943
the underlying risk, they

677
00:22:37,943 --> 00:22:38,543
mitigate it.

678
00:22:38,543 --> 00:22:40,378
What happens when there's a

679
00:22:40,378 --> 00:22:41,713
security breach?

680
00:22:41,713 --> 00:22:44,713
What happens when an authorized

681
00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:46,451
user misuses their access?

682
00:22:46,451 --> 00:22:48,553
Are you willing to accept the

683
00:22:48,553 --> 00:22:50,422
high margin of error as we have

684
00:22:50,422 --> 00:22:53,422
seen in roseville where over 71%

685
00:22:53,492 --> 00:22:54,993
of license plates were misread.

686
00:22:54,993 --> 00:22:57,561
What happens when the city has

687
00:22:57,561 --> 00:23:00,365
to defend the implication cases

688
00:23:00,365 --> 00:23:00,932
of using alpr in court.

689
00:23:00,932 --> 00:23:02,234
They are not hypothetical

690
00:23:02,234 --> 00:23:03,869
concerns.

691
00:23:03,869 --> 00:23:05,270
We have seen cities cancel

692
00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:07,672
contracts due to these concerns.

693
00:23:07,672 --> 00:23:08,540
The city is stuck taking on the

694
00:23:08,540 --> 00:23:09,875
responsibility of protecting

695
00:23:09,875 --> 00:23:10,442
sensitive data of residents

696
00:23:10,442 --> 00:23:11,677
during the duration of the

697
00:23:11,677 --> 00:23:13,145
contract.

698
00:23:13,145 --> 00:23:14,979
That's why I don't think this

699
00:23:14,979 --> 00:23:16,582
should be reduced to a question

700
00:23:16,582 --> 00:23:18,350
about flock.

701
00:23:18,350 --> 00:23:20,619
If we cancel flock and replace

702
00:23:20,619 --> 00:23:23,355
it with another alpr company we

703
00:23:23,355 --> 00:23:26,240
have solved the vendor problem

704
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,658
but not the underlying route

705
00:23:26,658 --> 00:23:28,393
problem, surveillance and the

706
00:23:28,393 --> 00:23:30,595
risk that comes with it.

707
00:23:30,595 --> 00:23:32,731
The strongest privacy protection

708
00:23:32,731 --> 00:23:36,134
to using these system is simple,

709
00:23:36,134 --> 00:23:36,702
not using it in the first place.

710
00:23:36,702 --> 00:23:38,136
My request tonight is this.

711
00:23:38,136 --> 00:23:40,239
End the flock contract, remove

712
00:23:40,239 --> 00:23:42,740
the flock cameras and establish

713
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:43,642
a clear city policy that elk

714
00:23:43,642 --> 00:23:46,312
grove will not operate or

715
00:23:46,312 --> 00:23:46,945
participate in alpr surveillance

716
00:23:46,945 --> 00:23:47,213
regardless of what company that

717
00:23:47,213 --> 00:23:48,314
sells it.

718
00:23:48,314 --> 00:23:50,314
Thank you.

719
00:23:50,983 --> 00:23:52,983
>> thank you.

720
00:23:53,652 --> 00:23:56,488
Next up is rob hansen followed

721
00:23:56,488 --> 00:23:58,570
by kevin barnwell.

722
00:23:58,570 --> 00:23:59,392
>> hello.

723
00:23:59,392 --> 00:24:02,895
I'm lear to address the flock

724
00:24:02,895 --> 00:24:04,895
cameras also.

725
00:24:05,598 --> 00:24:07,566
I'm a veteran and I find this

726
00:24:07,566 --> 00:24:09,135
extensive use of flock cameras a

727
00:24:09,135 --> 00:24:11,535
violation of people's freedoms

728
00:24:12,804 --> 00:24:14,540
which I didn't serve for.

729
00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:15,874
Flock camera data is not owned

730
00:24:15,874 --> 00:24:16,975
by the city of elk grove and

731
00:24:16,975 --> 00:24:17,509
shared with police departments

732
00:24:17,509 --> 00:24:19,178
and cities throughout the

733
00:24:19,178 --> 00:24:20,145
country.

734
00:24:20,145 --> 00:24:21,914
There have been states who have

735
00:24:21,914 --> 00:24:23,683
used the flock cameras to arrest

736
00:24:23,683 --> 00:24:24,917
people in other states, they

737
00:24:24,917 --> 00:24:26,853
traveled where something is

738
00:24:26,853 --> 00:24:28,887
against the law in the state, in

739
00:24:28,887 --> 00:24:32,158
one state and isn't in another.

740
00:24:32,158 --> 00:24:34,600
There have been cases where

741
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,228
women traveled to a state for an

742
00:24:35,228 --> 00:24:38,228
abortion, come back to their

743
00:24:38,297 --> 00:24:40,900
home state and are arrested.

744
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:41,500
Other states can use that flock

745
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:42,568
camera, used throughout the

746
00:24:42,568 --> 00:24:43,836
country.

747
00:24:43,836 --> 00:24:45,638
Our laws in california aren't

748
00:24:45,638 --> 00:24:48,380
the same as texas.

749
00:24:49,676 --> 00:24:51,944
they're used, abusing those.

750
00:24:51,944 --> 00:24:52,345
Police departments have not had

751
00:24:52,345 --> 00:24:54,345
cameras to police.

752
00:24:54,646 --> 00:24:57,617
Why do they do it now?

753
00:24:57,617 --> 00:24:59,352
Maybe just patrol and police car

754
00:24:59,352 --> 00:25:01,387
instead of depending on a flock

755
00:25:01,387 --> 00:25:03,387
camera.

756
00:25:04,891 --> 00:25:07,794
I find it is just being abusive.

757
00:25:07,794 --> 00:25:08,694
You guys don't control the data.

758
00:25:08,694 --> 00:25:10,997
It is controlled by a

759
00:25:10,997 --> 00:25:12,732
corporation.

760
00:25:12,732 --> 00:25:14,401
And there's been other

761
00:25:14,401 --> 00:25:16,703
instances, instances where the

762
00:25:16,703 --> 00:25:20,303
camera instead of at the street

763
00:25:20,507 --> 00:25:21,308
they have it pointed toward a

764
00:25:21,308 --> 00:25:23,810
canvas store in states where

765
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:25,810
it's legal.

766
00:25:26,646 --> 00:25:28,810
Or at a gun range, pointing at

767
00:25:28,810 --> 00:25:29,415
the gun range instead of being

768
00:25:29,415 --> 00:25:31,151
out in the street.

769
00:25:31,151 --> 00:25:34,530
I'm not saying this is happening

770
00:25:34,530 --> 00:25:36,356
in elk grove but the problem is

771
00:25:36,356 --> 00:25:38,959
you do not control that data.

772
00:25:38,959 --> 00:25:40,959
The company does.

773
00:25:41,610 --> 00:25:42,128
So they can share this

774
00:25:42,128 --> 00:25:43,630
information, and that's a huge

775
00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:44,998
problem.

776
00:25:44,998 --> 00:25:47,567
Other than california -- I live

777
00:25:47,567 --> 00:25:49,168
in california because I like our

778
00:25:49,168 --> 00:25:52,168
freedoms, I don't like red

779
00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:57,544
states, sorry.

780
00:25:57,544 --> 00:26:01,144
You don't control it, so you

781
00:26:02,215 --> 00:26:03,550
shouldn't use it.

782
00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:04,150
Police are just patrolling in

783
00:26:04,150 --> 00:26:06,320
their cars instead of using a

784
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,521
camera.

785
00:26:07,521 --> 00:26:08,155
They have done it for decades

786
00:26:08,155 --> 00:26:09,689
without cameras they can do it

787
00:26:09,689 --> 00:26:10,324
now.

788
00:26:10,324 --> 00:26:12,459
That's what I have to say about

789
00:26:12,459 --> 00:26:14,459
it.

790
00:26:14,661 --> 00:26:15,562
I think if you can't control the

791
00:26:15,562 --> 00:26:17,330
data you shouldn't have it.

792
00:26:17,330 --> 00:26:19,330
>> thank you.

793
00:26:24,672 --> 00:26:27,672
Kevin barnwell followed by --

794
00:26:28,108 --> 00:26:30,108
[Inaudible]

795
00:26:30,177 --> 00:26:32,177
>> good evening.

796
00:26:32,913 --> 00:26:34,682
I'm kevin barnwell, elk grove

797
00:26:34,682 --> 00:26:36,160
resident within district 2.

798
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,518
I want to share my strong

799
00:26:37,518 --> 00:26:39,252
concerns with you all regarding

800
00:26:39,252 --> 00:26:40,221
the city's use of flock and alpr

801
00:26:40,221 --> 00:26:42,221
technology.

802
00:26:42,623 --> 00:26:45,593
This is obviously a hot topic

803
00:26:45,593 --> 00:26:46,726
this evening as the use of alpr

804
00:26:46,726 --> 00:26:47,995
technologies are

805
00:26:47,995 --> 00:26:49,430
unconstitutional use of

806
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:51,198
surveillance and uniting the

807
00:26:51,198 --> 00:26:53,601
left and right quicker than

808
00:26:53,601 --> 00:26:56,100
donald trump's insider trading.

809
00:26:56,103 --> 00:26:57,905
For a city who prides itself in

810
00:26:57,905 --> 00:26:59,306
diversity, we are no doubt

811
00:26:59,306 --> 00:27:01,909
hurting our own community by

812
00:27:01,909 --> 00:27:05,790
aiding in the use of information

813
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:06,881
passed on to ice and being

814
00:27:06,881 --> 00:27:07,715
complicity of extending the

815
00:27:07,715 --> 00:27:10,840
surveillance technology on each

816
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,285
and every single one of us

817
00:27:11,285 --> 00:27:14,210
gathering at this time a and

818
00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:16,570
profiles of our daily lives.

819
00:27:16,570 --> 00:27:16,924
I've seen countless videos of

820
00:27:16,924 --> 00:27:18,960
packed city council meetings all

821
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,695
over the country raising

822
00:27:20,695 --> 00:27:21,995
concerns about this very topic.

823
00:27:21,995 --> 00:27:24,132
I would much rather be at home

824
00:27:24,132 --> 00:27:25,833
with my family but I'm concerned

825
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:29,103
if we aren't loud about this now

826
00:27:29,103 --> 00:27:31,720
more of our amazing community

827
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,241
will be hurt and tensions will

828
00:27:33,241 --> 00:27:34,909
continue to into rise as no one

829
00:27:34,909 --> 00:27:37,378
should be summer reeled without

830
00:27:37,378 --> 00:27:39,414
probable -- surveiled without

831
00:27:39,414 --> 00:27:41,149
probable cause.

832
00:27:41,149 --> 00:27:44,585
We have heard about the misuse

833
00:27:44,585 --> 00:27:46,220
of alpr technology, stalking,

834
00:27:46,220 --> 00:27:48,155
mishits of bad license plate

835
00:27:48,155 --> 00:27:48,756
numbers resulting in people

836
00:27:48,756 --> 00:27:49,757
being pulled over and having

837
00:27:49,757 --> 00:27:52,157
guns drawn on them.

838
00:27:52,794 --> 00:27:54,794
Please take action.

839
00:27:56,163 --> 00:27:57,765
No ALPRs period.

840
00:27:57,765 --> 00:27:59,000
We will be watching and our

841
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,169
future votes will match what we

842
00:28:01,169 --> 00:28:01,937
see.

843
00:28:01,937 --> 00:28:03,937
>> thank you.

844
00:28:05,173 --> 00:28:09,373
Next up is alleg b. Followed by

845
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:12,313
shea.

846
00:28:12,313 --> 00:28:14,516
>> good evening, I live in

847
00:28:14,516 --> 00:28:15,817
district 1 and I've been a

848
00:28:15,817 --> 00:28:16,500
resident of elk grove for 12

849
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:18,500
years.

850
00:28:18,850 --> 00:28:22,560
I am asking you to cancel the

851
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,126
flock alpr contract and not seek

852
00:28:25,126 --> 00:28:27,162
alternate alpr vendor including

853
00:28:27,162 --> 00:28:28,296
action on or any others.

854
00:28:28,296 --> 00:28:28,897
I hope you have read the

855
00:28:28,897 --> 00:28:30,499
community audit of the flock

856
00:28:30,499 --> 00:28:31,433
records.

857
00:28:31,433 --> 00:28:33,635
And reviewed the city's data it

858
00:28:33,635 --> 00:28:35,635
is based on.

859
00:28:36,204 --> 00:28:38,373
I have and reviewed the data.

860
00:28:38,373 --> 00:28:41,373
I invite everyone hearing this

861
00:28:42,110 --> 00:28:42,645
to go to deflockelk grove.Org to

862
00:28:42,645 --> 00:28:43,879
read the find fringes the

863
00:28:43,879 --> 00:28:45,879
community audit.

864
00:28:46,415 --> 00:28:48,484
Look at the data for yourself.

865
00:28:48,484 --> 00:28:49,885
The audit showed that elk grove

866
00:28:49,885 --> 00:28:52,286
P.D. Shared our data with more

867
00:28:52,286 --> 00:28:54,323
than 3,200 out of state and

868
00:28:54,323 --> 00:28:56,691
federal agencies which searched

869
00:28:56,691 --> 00:28:59,691
that data more than 1.3 million

870
00:29:00,950 --> 00:29:02,950
times from 2021 to 2025.

871
00:29:02,564 --> 00:29:04,964
This violates california senate

872
00:29:05,701 --> 00:29:07,701
bill 34 enacted in 2016.

873
00:29:07,836 --> 00:29:09,238
Elk grove pd stated at a prior

874
00:29:09,238 --> 00:29:11,506
council meeting that this type

875
00:29:11,506 --> 00:29:14,506
of sharing had never occurred.

876
00:29:15,177 --> 00:29:16,945
These violations can carry a

877
00:29:16,945 --> 00:29:19,140
$2,500 penalty per search if

878
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,316
litigated.

879
00:29:20,316 --> 00:29:23,316
Additionally elk grove pd shared

880
00:29:23,619 --> 00:29:26,190
our data from 2021 through 2026

881
00:29:26,522 --> 00:29:28,570
with 290 california agencies

882
00:29:28,570 --> 00:29:29,691
that do not have data sharing

883
00:29:29,691 --> 00:29:31,794
agreements or MOUs to search our

884
00:29:31,794 --> 00:29:33,162
data.

885
00:29:33,162 --> 00:29:34,563
Despite elk grove pd stating at

886
00:29:34,563 --> 00:29:37,166
a prior city council meeting

887
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:37,900
that only agencies with MOUs can

888
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:39,268
search.

889
00:29:39,268 --> 00:29:41,268
Yet those unauthorized

890
00:29:41,604 --> 00:29:43,604
california agencies searched 4.3

891
00:29:45,174 --> 00:29:47,142
million times.

892
00:29:47,142 --> 00:29:47,844
The elk grove pd alpr website

893
00:29:47,844 --> 00:29:48,410
states that the police

894
00:29:48,410 --> 00:29:50,810
department audits the flock

895
00:29:54,717 --> 00:29:56,485
system.

896
00:29:56,485 --> 00:29:58,221
This is illegal, out of state

897
00:29:58,221 --> 00:30:00,221
federal sharing, unauthorized

898
00:30:00,656 --> 00:30:02,124
california agency sharing to go

899
00:30:02,124 --> 00:30:03,626
on for years.

900
00:30:03,626 --> 00:30:06,620
But this is not just about

901
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:08,620
flock.

902
00:30:09,866 --> 00:30:11,767
Recently, we discovered an oxon

903
00:30:11,767 --> 00:30:14,300
brand fixed camera on the corner

904
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:16,500
of bruceville and laguna.

905
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:16,572
Here's a picture of what that

906
00:30:16,572 --> 00:30:18,707
camera looks like near the

907
00:30:18,707 --> 00:30:20,376
walgreen's.

908
00:30:20,376 --> 00:30:23,376
Axon boasts that this camera

909
00:30:23,379 --> 00:30:24,280
provides livestreaming, alpr,

910
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,483
vehicle recognition in one

911
00:30:26,483 --> 00:30:27,817
device.

912
00:30:27,817 --> 00:30:29,419
Police officers don't just get a

913
00:30:29,419 --> 00:30:32,822
hit they get the full picture in

914
00:30:32,822 --> 00:30:34,490
realtime end quote.

915
00:30:34,490 --> 00:30:35,992
Alpr vendors such as axon and

916
00:30:35,992 --> 00:30:37,327
others are not better than flock

917
00:30:37,327 --> 00:30:40,129
and we don't want them here.

918
00:30:40,129 --> 00:30:42,365
I believe that searchs of olpr

919
00:30:42,365 --> 00:30:43,366
data are fourth amendment

920
00:30:43,366 --> 00:30:44,668
searchs, the type that require a

921
00:30:44,668 --> 00:30:45,702
judicial warrant.

922
00:30:45,702 --> 00:30:47,804
These records are searched

923
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:49,804
without a warrant.

924
00:30:50,807 --> 00:30:52,776
I believe that the recent ruling

925
00:30:52,776 --> 00:30:54,477
sets the ground work for future

926
00:30:54,477 --> 00:30:56,877
lawsuits that will ultimately

927
00:30:57,147 --> 00:30:57,814
take these warrantless

928
00:30:57,814 --> 00:30:59,814
surveillance systems down.

929
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:01,885
The issue is not that we don't

930
00:31:01,885 --> 00:31:02,651
want police to be able to

931
00:31:02,651 --> 00:31:03,387
effectively and efficiently

932
00:31:03,387 --> 00:31:04,955
solve crimes that occur in the

933
00:31:04,955 --> 00:31:05,822
community.

934
00:31:05,822 --> 00:31:07,240
Of course we want them to, we

935
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,925
live here.

936
00:31:08,925 --> 00:31:10,327
But we want them to use

937
00:31:10,327 --> 00:31:11,294
investigative techniques that do

938
00:31:11,294 --> 00:31:12,728
not say late our constitutional

939
00:31:12,728 --> 00:31:14,728
rights.

940
00:31:14,898 --> 00:31:16,330
Can sole the flock contract and

941
00:31:16,330 --> 00:31:18,268
do not seek alternate vendor,

942
00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:19,200
thank you.

943
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,200
>> thank you.

944
00:31:23,273 --> 00:31:25,809
>> shea you're up, after shea is

945
00:31:25,809 --> 00:31:27,809
jim wilson.

946
00:31:29,913 --> 00:31:31,913
Shea?

947
00:31:36,887 --> 00:31:38,887
There we go.

948
00:31:39,490 --> 00:31:41,792
>> mello, I'm shea and I have a

949
00:31:41,792 --> 00:31:43,660
vested interest in the topic of

950
00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:44,595
alpr cameras as I do a majority

951
00:31:44,595 --> 00:31:46,730
of my shopping here in the city

952
00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:48,730
of elk grove.

953
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:50,967
When I first bought my home two

954
00:31:50,967 --> 00:31:51,201
years ago, there were no flock

955
00:31:51,201 --> 00:31:53,201
cameras.

956
00:31:54,471 --> 00:31:56,573
As a homeowner and a taxpayer,

957
00:31:56,573 --> 00:31:58,175
I'm deeply concerned and

958
00:31:58,175 --> 00:32:00,544
rightfully upset these cameras

959
00:32:00,544 --> 00:32:01,411
are installed at every major

960
00:32:01,411 --> 00:32:03,681
intersection over the last two

961
00:32:03,681 --> 00:32:05,883
years with little to no input

962
00:32:05,883 --> 00:32:08,719
from the citizens who live here.

963
00:32:08,719 --> 00:32:12,919
Just on the way over here, I've

964
00:32:13,257 --> 00:32:15,257
witnessed 12 flock cameras, 5

965
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:19,396
dollar gas, four fenti, 2 sex

966
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:21,599
trafficked and a city racking up

967
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,599
legal fees.

968
00:32:24,602 --> 00:32:26,671
All of the illegal searchs that

969
00:32:26,671 --> 00:32:28,673
have happened that violate

970
00:32:28,673 --> 00:32:30,708
senate bill 34 there's been over

971
00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:32,610
a million of these illegal

972
00:32:32,610 --> 00:32:34,610
searchs conducted.

973
00:32:35,790 --> 00:32:38,116
Each of those carrying a penalty

974
00:32:38,116 --> 00:32:39,116
of $2,500 if litigation were to

975
00:32:39,116 --> 00:32:41,116
on curb.

976
00:32:42,353 --> 00:32:45,156
If you quickly crunch those

977
00:32:45,156 --> 00:32:46,523
numbers, that already equals $3

978
00:32:46,523 --> 00:32:48,523
billion.

979
00:32:48,993 --> 00:32:51,993
We're going to go bankrupt.

980
00:32:53,498 --> 00:32:56,498
That's a lot of money.

981
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,537
Also, yesterday in sacramento an

982
00:32:59,537 --> 00:33:01,390
ice agent brutally assaulted a

983
00:33:01,390 --> 00:33:03,390
young indigenous woman.

984
00:33:03,341 --> 00:33:05,243
These are the people, ice

985
00:33:05,243 --> 00:33:05,844
agents, that are utilizing our

986
00:33:05,844 --> 00:33:08,244
elk grove city surveillance

987
00:33:08,812 --> 00:33:10,812
cameras.

988
00:33:11,449 --> 00:33:12,417
Many of the cameras have fashlg

989
00:33:12,417 --> 00:33:14,817
recognition and aye capabilities

990
00:33:14,986 --> 00:33:16,588
that allow for searchs based on

991
00:33:16,588 --> 00:33:17,789
appearance.

992
00:33:17,789 --> 00:33:19,324
We have a large immigrant

993
00:33:19,324 --> 00:33:21,393
population in our community and

994
00:33:21,393 --> 00:33:21,760
it is our duty to protect them

995
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,495
from harm.

996
00:33:23,495 --> 00:33:25,430
You had a land acknowledgement

997
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:27,331
at the beginning of our meeting.

998
00:33:27,331 --> 00:33:29,701
How can we brag about being one

999
00:33:29,701 --> 00:33:31,169
of the most diverse cities when

1000
00:33:31,169 --> 00:33:32,671
we're doing nothing to protect

1001
00:33:32,671 --> 00:33:34,105
people from being snatched off

1002
00:33:34,105 --> 00:33:36,105
the street.

1003
00:33:36,774 --> 00:33:38,610
It is a mockery, and it is a

1004
00:33:38,610 --> 00:33:40,780
disgrace to make claims of

1005
00:33:40,780 --> 00:33:42,280
safety and inclusion with no

1006
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,116
identified to back it up.

1007
00:33:44,116 --> 00:33:46,284
Words are nice and appreciated,

1008
00:33:46,284 --> 00:33:48,954
but we need to see action.

1009
00:33:48,954 --> 00:33:52,554
We the people of elk grove

1010
00:33:56,862 --> 00:33:58,463
demand -- that all flock cameras

1011
00:33:58,463 --> 00:33:59,930
be removed from the city, end

1012
00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:01,800
the existing contracts and do

1013
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,201
not enter knee new ones.

1014
00:34:03,201 --> 00:34:04,690
We're erred people who have a

1015
00:34:04,690 --> 00:34:07,669
right to privacy when we travel.

1016
00:34:09,173 --> 00:34:09,674
Thank you.

1017
00:34:09,674 --> 00:34:11,674
>> thank you.

1018
00:34:13,145 --> 00:34:15,545
Jim wilson followed by

1019
00:34:20,753 --> 00:34:22,753
margarita.

1020
00:34:22,888 --> 00:34:24,888
>> I'm jim wilson.

1021
00:34:24,890 --> 00:34:27,860
Can you hear me at my relatively

1022
00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:28,927
high altitude here?

1023
00:34:28,927 --> 00:34:31,597
I'd like to share something

1024
00:34:31,597 --> 00:34:33,997
about flock the company.

1025
00:34:34,867 --> 00:34:38,467
You MAY not be aware of.

1026
00:34:39,338 --> 00:34:41,738
It's kind of technical.

1027
00:34:42,341 --> 00:34:43,420
But most companies have websites

1028
00:34:43,420 --> 00:34:45,878
that are searchable that you can

1029
00:34:45,878 --> 00:34:47,880
go back and you can see what the

1030
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,880
content of the website was

1031
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,850
months or years previously.

1032
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:54,286
If you want to ask your I.T.

1033
00:34:54,286 --> 00:34:56,222
People about this they can show

1034
00:34:56,222 --> 00:34:58,724
you how it's done, it is easy to

1035
00:34:58,724 --> 00:35:00,724
do.

1036
00:35:01,694 --> 00:35:04,597
But it turns out that flock has

1037
00:35:04,597 --> 00:35:06,465
erased all of their websites

1038
00:35:06,465 --> 00:35:07,533
prior to the present one.

1039
00:35:07,533 --> 00:35:08,801
The present websit is the only

1040
00:35:08,801 --> 00:35:09,868
one you can see.

1041
00:35:09,868 --> 00:35:13,468
Most people are not aware of

1042
00:35:14,730 --> 00:35:16,730
this.

1043
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:17,276
They have basically scrubbed

1044
00:35:17,276 --> 00:35:20,276
anything going back months or

1045
00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:24,810
years.

1046
00:35:24,383 --> 00:35:26,352
Why is this a concern?

1047
00:35:26,352 --> 00:35:27,820
Because perhaps they've made

1048
00:35:27,820 --> 00:35:29,555
commitments in terms of who

1049
00:35:29,555 --> 00:35:31,190
they're going to sell the

1050
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:32,392
demonstrate a to, and many

1051
00:35:32,392 --> 00:35:34,292
other -- sell the data to and

1052
00:35:34,292 --> 00:35:35,962
many other things.

1053
00:35:35,962 --> 00:35:38,164
Their liability, their policies,

1054
00:35:38,164 --> 00:35:39,832
that they maybe used to have.

1055
00:35:39,832 --> 00:35:42,502
We don't know if they lived up

1056
00:35:42,502 --> 00:35:43,169
to those commitments or not.

1057
00:35:43,169 --> 00:35:45,569
Because those commitments have

1058
00:35:45,905 --> 00:35:47,905
been erased.

1059
00:35:48,308 --> 00:35:49,809
I urge you to talk to your oi t.

1060
00:35:49,809 --> 00:35:51,809
People.

1061
00:35:52,278 --> 00:35:52,512
Find out if what I'm saying is

1062
00:35:52,512 --> 00:35:54,512
correct.

1063
00:35:54,948 --> 00:35:57,183
There's a website called gadget

1064
00:35:57,183 --> 00:35:59,586
review.Com, people might want to

1065
00:35:59,586 --> 00:36:01,921
check, with an article on this.

1066
00:36:01,921 --> 00:36:04,924
I think it is very important

1067
00:36:04,924 --> 00:36:05,158
that we know what types of

1068
00:36:05,158 --> 00:36:06,626
company

1069
00:36:06,626 --> 00:36:08,940
companies the city is doing

1070
00:36:08,940 --> 00:36:09,162
business with.

1071
00:36:09,162 --> 00:36:10,897
So that's why I'm presenting

1072
00:36:10,897 --> 00:36:11,898
this information to you.

1073
00:36:11,898 --> 00:36:14,898
I really appreciate the chance

1074
00:36:16,690 --> 00:36:16,469
to be able to share that.

1075
00:36:16,469 --> 00:36:18,469

1079
00:36:31,885 --> 00:36:33,620
>> good evening, I am an elk

1080
00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:34,621
grove reasons dent, the

1081
00:36:34,621 --> 00:36:36,289
valedictorian of my high school

1082
00:36:36,289 --> 00:36:37,424
and educator serving elk grove

1083
00:36:37,424 --> 00:36:38,691
elementary schools.

1084
00:36:38,691 --> 00:36:41,328
I was born and raised on the

1085
00:36:41,328 --> 00:36:43,630
street where there's now a flock

1086
00:36:43,630 --> 00:36:45,463
camera on the corner.

1087
00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:48,669
I ask you to cancel the city's

1088
00:36:48,669 --> 00:36:51,438
contract with flock safety for

1089
00:36:51,438 --> 00:36:53,140
alpr and not to seek alternate

1090
00:36:53,140 --> 00:36:55,140
alpr vendor.

1091
00:36:55,643 --> 00:36:57,177
It is my understanding the city

1092
00:36:57,177 --> 00:36:58,679
of elk grove contracted with

1093
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:00,814
flock for community safety.

1094
00:37:00,814 --> 00:37:03,517
An audit shows that 97% of elk

1095
00:37:03,517 --> 00:37:04,151
grove residents were made by

1096
00:37:04,151 --> 00:37:07,151
agencies outside of the elk

1097
00:37:07,388 --> 00:37:09,388
grove police department.

1098
00:37:10,570 --> 00:37:12,259
Flock technology makes us

1099
00:37:12,259 --> 00:37:13,594
vulnerable to more harm.

1100
00:37:13,594 --> 00:37:15,950
It is fallible, it makes

1101
00:37:15,950 --> 00:37:16,797
mistakes all the time.

1102
00:37:16,797 --> 00:37:19,197
The roseville police department

1103
00:37:20,834 --> 00:37:23,700
said 71% of felony or stolen

1104
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:24,605
vehicle alerts were misreads a

1105
00:37:24,605 --> 00:37:26,273
woman in milwaukee was pulled

1106
00:37:26,273 --> 00:37:28,175
over at gunpoint due to a flock

1107
00:37:28,175 --> 00:37:30,110
alert error.

1108
00:37:30,110 --> 00:37:32,480
According to the institute

1109
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,480
forreousts r advertise she is

1110
00:37:35,883 --> 00:37:37,151
one -- for justice she's just

1111
00:37:37,151 --> 00:37:38,850
one of dozens jailed on a flock

1112
00:37:38,850 --> 00:37:39,353
error.

1113
00:37:39,353 --> 00:37:40,854
All over the U.S. Police

1114
00:37:40,854 --> 00:37:41,822
officers are investigated for

1115
00:37:41,822 --> 00:37:43,724
abusing their access to flock to

1116
00:37:43,724 --> 00:37:45,159
track people.

1117
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:47,395
One kentucky police officer was

1118
00:37:47,395 --> 00:37:50,564
just arrested for using flock to

1119
00:37:50,564 --> 00:37:52,964
track his ex-girlfriend over

1120
00:37:54,302 --> 00:37:56,103
2,000 miles away.

1121
00:37:56,103 --> 00:37:56,804
I dropped out of my graduate

1122
00:37:56,804 --> 00:37:58,406
program at stanford university

1123
00:37:58,406 --> 00:37:59,974
two years ago.

1124
00:37:59,974 --> 00:38:01,342
Partially attributed to the

1125
00:38:01,342 --> 00:38:03,577
stress I was dealing with trying

1126
00:38:03,577 --> 00:38:04,211
to avoid a stalker.

1127
00:38:04,211 --> 00:38:07,615
Thank GOD he wasn't a police

1128
00:38:07,615 --> 00:38:08,950
officer.

1129
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:10,485
I moved back home so that I

1130
00:38:10,485 --> 00:38:12,485
could feel safe.

1131
00:38:13,154 --> 00:38:15,456
I and everyone else de'every

1132
00:38:15,456 --> 00:38:17,859
feel safe in our community.

1133
00:38:17,859 --> 00:38:19,693
Flock is neither preventative

1134
00:38:19,693 --> 00:38:22,693
safety measure or a solution.

1135
00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:25,266
I urge you to stand up for our

1136
00:38:25,266 --> 00:38:28,690
right to safety, don't replace

1137
00:38:28,690 --> 00:38:29,736
it with another alpr vendor.

1138
00:38:29,736 --> 00:38:31,736
>> thank you.

1139
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,406
Samantha brown followed by

1140
00:38:36,778 --> 00:38:38,778
jennifer tune.

1141
00:38:42,717 --> 00:38:44,385
>> thank you.

1142
00:38:44,385 --> 00:38:45,620
I'm samantha and I have lived in

1143
00:38:45,620 --> 00:38:48,200
elk grove for 27 years.

1144
00:38:48,390 --> 00:38:50,390
I'm in district 2.

1145
00:38:50,392 --> 00:38:52,160
I'm here to ask the city to

1146
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,160
cancel our contract with flock

1147
00:38:56,531 --> 00:38:58,300
safety or any vendor of alpr.

1148
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:00,700
I think that indiscriminate

1149
00:39:00,835 --> 00:39:03,338
tracking and surveillance is a

1150
00:39:03,338 --> 00:39:05,607
violation of civil liberties.

1151
00:39:05,607 --> 00:39:07,742
After reading about the audit,

1152
00:39:07,742 --> 00:39:08,376
it's also unacceptable the error

1153
00:39:08,376 --> 00:39:10,779
rates and the misuse of our

1154
00:39:10,779 --> 00:39:12,779
data.

1155
00:39:12,914 --> 00:39:15,784
We have too much data on servers

1156
00:39:15,784 --> 00:39:17,784
servers.

1157
00:39:18,387 --> 00:39:20,870
So, again, I urge for a

1158
00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:22,900
cancellation of any contracts

1159
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:22,757
and no renewal with any alpr

1160
00:39:22,757 --> 00:39:23,825
vendor.

1161
00:39:23,825 --> 00:39:27,425
Thank you, I yield my time.

1162
00:39:27,895 --> 00:39:29,895
>> thank you.

1163
00:39:40,750 --> 00:39:42,750
Jennifer tune, adella.

1164
00:39:43,178 --> 00:39:43,778
>> hello, I'm jennifer tune,

1165
00:39:43,778 --> 00:39:44,779
resident of district 2 in elk

1166
00:39:44,779 --> 00:39:46,648
grove.

1167
00:39:46,648 --> 00:39:49,318
My family has lived mere for 7

1168
00:39:49,318 --> 00:39:49,918
years and I'm an educator

1169
00:39:49,918 --> 00:39:50,986
serving elk grove elementary

1170
00:39:50,986 --> 00:39:52,986
schools.

1171
00:39:52,988 --> 00:39:55,257
I'm asking you to cancel our

1172
00:39:55,257 --> 00:39:57,593
city's contract with flock

1173
00:39:57,593 --> 00:39:59,993
safety for automated license

1174
00:40:00,195 --> 00:40:02,731
plate readers known as ALPRs and

1175
00:40:02,731 --> 00:40:05,131
not seek another vendor.

1176
00:40:05,234 --> 00:40:06,135
At a previous city council

1177
00:40:06,135 --> 00:40:07,903
meeting, city council member

1178
00:40:07,903 --> 00:40:09,305
spease, you said that you are

1179
00:40:09,305 --> 00:40:11,841
very serious about our civil

1180
00:40:11,841 --> 00:40:12,508
rights and that you are a member

1181
00:40:12,508 --> 00:40:12,975
of the electronic frontier

1182
00:40:12,975 --> 00:40:14,975
foundation.

1183
00:40:15,878 --> 00:40:17,878
I appreciate that.

1184
00:40:18,447 --> 00:40:20,349
As a member of the eeff, you

1185
00:40:20,349 --> 00:40:21,951
will know that they are a

1186
00:40:21,951 --> 00:40:23,951
leading nonprofit defending

1187
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,955
digital freedom and privacy,

1188
00:40:25,955 --> 00:40:28,355
free speech, and innovation.

1189
00:40:28,824 --> 00:40:32,361
A memo put out by the eff in

1190
00:40:32,361 --> 00:40:32,928
NOVEMBER of 2025 calls ALPRs

1191
00:40:32,928 --> 00:40:34,664
invasive mass surveillance

1192
00:40:34,664 --> 00:40:36,365
technology.

1193
00:40:36,365 --> 00:40:40,690
This memo says one of the many

1194
00:40:40,690 --> 00:40:41,771
problems with ALPRs is that

1195
00:40:41,771 --> 00:40:44,171
police officers officer much

1196
00:40:45,174 --> 00:40:46,542
alpr databases without a

1197
00:40:46,542 --> 00:40:48,542
warrant.

1198
00:40:49,812 --> 00:40:52,882
The city of san jose has been

1199
00:40:52,882 --> 00:40:55,118
sued to end this practice.

1200
00:40:55,118 --> 00:40:56,185
If you are truly serious about

1201
00:40:56,185 --> 00:40:59,185
it, you wouldn't support them

1202
00:41:02,358 --> 00:41:04,358
here either.

1203
00:41:05,194 --> 00:41:06,963
It's okay to change your mind.

1204
00:41:06,963 --> 00:41:09,963
Seat show us your courage.

1205
00:41:11,201 --> 00:41:13,201
Leaf this behind.

1206
00:41:15,104 --> 00:41:16,172
It's okay to change your mind.

1207
00:41:16,172 --> 00:41:18,410
And you can join us, join us

1208
00:41:18,410 --> 00:41:20,410
here any time.

1209
00:41:21,911 --> 00:41:23,911
Thank you.

1210
00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:27,784
>> you have a lovely voice,

1211
00:41:27,784 --> 00:41:29,784
thank you.

1212
00:41:32,689 --> 00:41:34,689
Adella.

1213
00:41:35,225 --> 00:41:38,225
After adella is justin d.

1214
00:41:38,461 --> 00:41:41,965
>> hi, I I'm adella and I'm

1215
00:41:41,965 --> 00:41:44,301
calling for the ended use of

1216
00:41:44,301 --> 00:41:45,168
automated license plate readers,

1217
00:41:45,168 --> 00:41:46,702
ALPRs.

1218
00:41:46,702 --> 00:41:48,672
By terminating the contract with

1219
00:41:48,672 --> 00:41:51,174
flock safety and not seeking

1220
00:41:51,174 --> 00:41:52,675
other alpr vendors.

1221
00:41:52,675 --> 00:41:55,750
The fourth amendment protects

1222
00:41:55,278 --> 00:41:56,279
our right to be free from

1223
00:41:56,279 --> 00:41:57,481
unwanted -- unwarranted search

1224
00:41:57,481 --> 00:41:59,481
and seizure.

1225
00:41:59,883 --> 00:42:01,685
That right should not be

1226
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:03,685
sacrificed for unsanctioned

1227
00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:06,487
surveillance disguised as the

1228
00:42:07,257 --> 00:42:07,958
promise of safety.

1229
00:42:07,958 --> 00:42:09,993
When surveillance systems are

1230
00:42:09,993 --> 00:42:10,927
eye becaused by people in

1231
00:42:10,927 --> 00:42:11,695
companies with dubious

1232
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:12,396
intentions we have a

1233
00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:14,531
responsibility as a community to

1234
00:42:14,531 --> 00:42:17,670
put an independent to it.

1235
00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:19,369
An end to it.

1236
00:42:19,369 --> 00:42:21,337
Benjamin franklin, a founding

1237
00:42:21,337 --> 00:42:23,774
father, once said those who

1238
00:42:23,774 --> 00:42:25,108
would give up a central liberty

1239
00:42:25,108 --> 00:42:26,376
to purchase a little temporary

1240
00:42:26,376 --> 00:42:28,712
safety deserve neither liberty

1241
00:42:28,712 --> 00:42:30,712
or safety.

1242
00:42:31,248 --> 00:42:32,449
So stand with your friends, your

1243
00:42:32,449 --> 00:42:33,117
family, and your neighbors in

1244
00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:34,417
elk grove just as we have stood

1245
00:42:34,417 --> 00:42:36,417
with you.

1246
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:36,954
And reject the use of

1247
00:42:36,954 --> 00:42:38,954
unwarranted surveillance.

1248
00:42:38,989 --> 00:42:40,989
Thank you.

1249
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:44,159
>> thank you.

1250
00:42:53,170 --> 00:42:54,104
Justin d. Followed by ricardo.

1251
00:42:54,104 --> 00:42:55,606
>> hello, can you hear me?

1252
00:42:55,606 --> 00:42:57,606
Hi.

1253
00:42:58,242 --> 00:42:59,276
I'm justin, I've lived here for

1254
00:42:59,276 --> 00:43:01,780
6 years now.

1255
00:43:01,780 --> 00:43:02,790
This is a great city.

1256
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:03,748
You guys are the stewards of

1257
00:43:03,748 --> 00:43:05,182
this place, we love living here.

1258
00:43:05,182 --> 00:43:08,520
There's a lot of wonderful

1259
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:08,352
places to visit, stores, people

1260
00:43:08,352 --> 00:43:09,853
to talk to.

1261
00:43:09,853 --> 00:43:11,880
We really appreciate this place

1262
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,556
that we all share together.

1263
00:43:12,556 --> 00:43:14,492
I'm here because I'm concerned

1264
00:43:14,492 --> 00:43:17,270
about your use of flock cameras

1265
00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:18,362
and similar ALPRs.

1266
00:43:18,362 --> 00:43:19,896
Other people have given a lot of

1267
00:43:19,896 --> 00:43:22,633
good examples why these have

1268
00:43:22,633 --> 00:43:23,734
been misused, abused, or even

1269
00:43:23,734 --> 00:43:25,169
used against the commitments

1270
00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:26,270
made about how they're supposed

1271
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:27,371
to be used.

1272
00:43:27,371 --> 00:43:28,706
I don't have control over them

1273
00:43:28,706 --> 00:43:30,141
and other agencies and states

1274
00:43:30,141 --> 00:43:31,109
can do what they want.

1275
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:32,977
I want to share a few other

1276
00:43:32,977 --> 00:43:34,977
examples.

1277
00:43:36,414 --> 00:43:37,782
These cameras can be used to

1278
00:43:37,782 --> 00:43:39,784
build a comprehensive view of

1279
00:43:39,784 --> 00:43:42,784
somebody's life, the places they

1280
00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:47,225
visit, the churches they go to.

1281
00:43:47,225 --> 00:43:48,993
Protests or going to doctors

1282
00:43:48,993 --> 00:43:50,661
about embarrassing medical

1283
00:43:50,661 --> 00:43:52,263
conditions, are all things that

1284
00:43:52,263 --> 00:43:54,199
can be tracked down with use of

1285
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:56,501
these camera systems and

1286
00:43:56,501 --> 00:43:56,868
databases they hold that

1287
00:43:56,868 --> 00:43:57,468
information in.

1288
00:43:57,468 --> 00:43:58,936
Additionally, this is not a

1289
00:43:58,936 --> 00:44:00,438
partisan issue.

1290
00:44:00,438 --> 00:44:02,440
People across the political

1291
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,242
spectrum care about this.

1292
00:44:04,242 --> 00:44:06,678
You see people in deep blue and

1293
00:44:06,678 --> 00:44:07,412
deep red cities separately and

1294
00:44:07,412 --> 00:44:09,412
independently voting against

1295
00:44:09,781 --> 00:44:10,614
these systems, they don't like

1296
00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:11,482
what they stand for and

1297
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:13,151
represent and the harm to the

1298
00:44:13,151 --> 00:44:14,252
community.

1299
00:44:14,252 --> 00:44:16,321
some examples from left and

1300
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:17,655
right leaning perspectives, if

1301
00:44:17,655 --> 00:44:19,256
you are right leaning and you

1302
00:44:19,256 --> 00:44:20,457
care about the JANUARY 6

1303
00:44:20,457 --> 00:44:21,659
protesters some of those people

1304
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:23,294
MAY not have done anything but

1305
00:44:23,294 --> 00:44:25,163
they were there and databases

1306
00:44:25,163 --> 00:44:26,698
like these were used to track

1307
00:44:26,698 --> 00:44:28,233
those people to those locations.

1308
00:44:28,233 --> 00:44:29,340
Even if they didn't do anything

1309
00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:31,360
to anybody or any property they

1310
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,904
were charged.

1311
00:44:32,904 --> 00:44:34,720
If you are right leaning and you

1312
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,107
care about that that is a

1313
00:44:35,107 --> 00:44:36,608
problem for you.

1314
00:44:36,608 --> 00:44:39,111
If you are left leaning

1315
00:44:39,111 --> 00:44:40,178
databases are used to hurt

1316
00:44:40,178 --> 00:44:41,146
people from immigrant

1317
00:44:41,146 --> 00:44:42,614
communities or people who look

1318
00:44:42,614 --> 00:44:44,490
like they might than from

1319
00:44:44,490 --> 00:44:46,817
outside the community, ice is

1320
00:44:46,817 --> 00:44:48,887
using the databases to pull beep

1321
00:44:48,887 --> 00:44:51,887
many off the streets and

1322
00:44:51,989 --> 00:44:53,525
traumatize their children.

1323
00:44:53,525 --> 00:44:55,930
Additionally, companies like

1324
00:44:55,930 --> 00:44:57,129
discord, google and others are

1325
00:44:57,129 --> 00:44:57,930
working with the federal

1326
00:44:57,930 --> 00:44:59,930
administration to gather

1327
00:44:59,932 --> 00:45:01,166
information about people who

1328
00:45:01,166 --> 00:45:02,367
share opinions that the

1329
00:45:02,367 --> 00:45:04,236
administration doesn't like.

1330
00:45:04,236 --> 00:45:05,504
For example discord is sharing

1331
00:45:05,504 --> 00:45:06,905
information about w. The trump

1332
00:45:06,905 --> 00:45:07,538
administration about people who

1333
00:45:07,538 --> 00:45:09,700
have opinions that are negative

1334
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:10,676
of ice.

1335
00:45:10,676 --> 00:45:11,976
These databases could be used by

1336
00:45:11,976 --> 00:45:13,445
the justice department to look

1337
00:45:13,445 --> 00:45:15,247
for those people.

1338
00:45:15,247 --> 00:45:16,140
I think that that's a problem

1339
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:17,480
and you should find that to be a

1340
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:18,283
problem.

1341
00:45:18,283 --> 00:45:20,352
Thank you for stewarding this

1342
00:45:20,352 --> 00:45:21,687
city, I appreciate what you do

1343
00:45:21,687 --> 00:45:23,922
here, please keep doing a great

1344
00:45:23,922 --> 00:45:25,157
job and support us.

1345
00:45:25,157 --> 00:45:25,591
This is an unpopular policy.

1346
00:45:25,591 --> 00:45:27,591
Thank you.

1347
00:45:29,561 --> 00:45:31,561
>> thank you.

1348
00:45:43,442 --> 00:45:45,611
Ricardo followed by alexander.

1349
00:45:45,611 --> 00:45:49,211
>> see, nearly a year ago on

1350
00:45:49,915 --> 00:45:51,616
SEPTEMBER 20, 2025, a flock

1351
00:45:51,616 --> 00:45:53,586
vice PRESIDENT Logged into the

1352
00:45:53,586 --> 00:45:55,387
dunnwoody pd security camera

1353
00:45:55,387 --> 00:45:57,255
system, solely to look at a

1354
00:45:57,255 --> 00:45:58,857
camera inside of a children's

1355
00:45:58,857 --> 00:46:00,857
gymnastics class.

1356
00:46:01,260 --> 00:46:03,729
He did not look at a single

1357
00:46:03,729 --> 00:46:05,632
other camera that day.

1358
00:46:05,632 --> 00:46:06,698
Cases like these and all of the

1359
00:46:06,698 --> 00:46:09,569
ones mentioned earlier have been

1360
00:46:09,569 --> 00:46:11,437
known about for months now.

1361
00:46:11,437 --> 00:46:14,173
Yet the city council voted

1362
00:46:14,173 --> 00:46:16,750
unanimously last APRIL to renew

1363
00:46:16,750 --> 00:46:16,742
and expand the contract of flock

1364
00:46:16,742 --> 00:46:18,945
despite near universal community

1365
00:46:18,945 --> 00:46:20,945
opposition.

1366
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,682
People with the power to access

1367
00:46:23,682 --> 00:46:26,180
these cameras both police

1368
00:46:26,180 --> 00:46:28,870
officers and private individuals

1369
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:30,487
have unprecedented ability to

1370
00:46:30,991 --> 00:46:32,692
track anyone and anywhere not

1371
00:46:32,692 --> 00:46:33,393
because of what they do in the

1372
00:46:33,393 --> 00:46:36,393
present but because of what

1373
00:46:36,696 --> 00:46:39,696
they've done in the past.

1374
00:46:39,698 --> 00:46:41,670
For the sake of such globious,

1375
00:46:41,670 --> 00:46:43,467
virtuous activities like a

1376
00:46:44,304 --> 00:46:46,406
police officer stalking a woman

1377
00:46:46,406 --> 00:46:48,406
who rejected him.

1378
00:46:48,942 --> 00:46:50,643
Federal agent listing people who

1379
00:46:50,643 --> 00:46:52,712
went to peaceful protests

1380
00:46:52,712 --> 00:46:54,712
against trump.

1381
00:46:55,815 --> 00:46:57,851
A hacker scraping data to find a

1382
00:46:57,851 --> 00:46:59,218
target they want to hurt or

1383
00:46:59,218 --> 00:47:00,954
businessman in this instance

1384
00:47:00,954 --> 00:47:03,230
spying on other people's

1385
00:47:03,230 --> 00:47:04,223
children for their own sick, bee

1386
00:47:04,223 --> 00:47:06,223
praifd purposes.

1387
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,628
I must emphasize the solution is

1388
00:47:12,866 --> 00:47:15,866
not to simply pick another

1389
00:47:16,302 --> 00:47:18,702
company's mode of this

1390
00:47:19,973 --> 00:47:21,700
information in lieu of flock.

1391
00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:23,242
We don't want one swapped out

1392
00:47:23,242 --> 00:47:24,577
with another.

1393
00:47:24,577 --> 00:47:27,147
No summer verylant system has

1394
00:47:27,147 --> 00:47:29,116
any place in elk grove, period.

1395
00:47:29,116 --> 00:47:30,816
We want the flock contract to

1396
00:47:30,816 --> 00:47:32,719
independent and we want the oath

1397
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:32,919
that nothing will take its

1398
00:47:32,919 --> 00:47:34,540
place.

1399
00:47:34,540 --> 00:47:34,521
if we don't get that we will

1400
00:47:34,521 --> 00:47:36,156
vote for other people.

1401
00:47:36,156 --> 00:47:38,156
Thank you.

1402
00:47:41,929 --> 00:47:43,929
>> thank you.

1403
00:47:46,433 --> 00:47:47,868
Ricardo.

1404
00:47:47,868 --> 00:47:49,469
>> I'm covering a lot of bases

1405
00:47:49,469 --> 00:47:49,937
over here and not sure if that

1406
00:47:49,937 --> 00:47:51,438
speaker got called up

1407
00:47:51,438 --> 00:47:52,738
previously.

1408
00:47:52,738 --> 00:47:53,741
I wanted to make sure they had

1409
00:47:53,741 --> 00:47:54,808
the opportunity to come forward.

1410
00:47:54,808 --> 00:47:57,808
>> given the volume of speakers,

1411
00:47:58,111 --> 00:48:00,111
I don't know.

1412
00:48:01,148 --> 00:48:04,748
You want me to move on?

1413
00:48:05,686 --> 00:48:07,988
>> ricardo have you spock een?

1414
00:48:07,988 --> 00:48:09,988
>> not seeing ricardo.

1415
00:48:13,159 --> 00:48:15,159
Andrea ramirez.

1416
00:48:18,966 --> 00:48:20,800
Followed by kayla coats.

1417
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,870
>> hi mayor and city council,

1418
00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:25,339
I'm an elk grove resident, and I

1419
00:48:25,339 --> 00:48:27,241
don't know what district I'm in.

1420
00:48:27,241 --> 00:48:30,378
I'm located over by laguna and

1421
00:48:30,378 --> 00:48:32,378
big horn.

1422
00:48:32,747 --> 00:48:35,749
I was walking my dog, I have a

1423
00:48:35,749 --> 00:48:36,884
very reactive dog.

1424
00:48:36,884 --> 00:48:38,818
A flock camera was following

1425
00:48:38,818 --> 00:48:40,888
me -- a drone.

1426
00:48:40,888 --> 00:48:42,256
I called egpd, I asked is this

1427
00:48:42,256 --> 00:48:44,158
associated with you.

1428
00:48:44,158 --> 00:48:45,226
They said no.

1429
00:48:45,226 --> 00:48:46,594
Though forwarded me to

1430
00:48:46,594 --> 00:48:48,594
sacramento pd.

1431
00:48:49,163 --> 00:48:51,970
I talked to sac pd, no one knew

1432
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:51,732
who was following me.

1433
00:48:51,732 --> 00:48:54,350
This drone followed me for about

1434
00:48:54,350 --> 00:48:54,935
an hour.

1435
00:48:54,935 --> 00:48:56,337
I'm terrified to walk my dog at

1436
00:48:56,337 --> 00:48:57,472
night.

1437
00:48:57,472 --> 00:48:58,806
I'm located close to flock

1438
00:48:58,806 --> 00:49:00,806
cameras.

1439
00:49:01,743 --> 00:49:03,144
I don't know -- I'm not accusing

1440
00:49:03,144 --> 00:49:05,679
anybody of watching me but I've

1441
00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:07,849
been seeing stories about women

1442
00:49:07,849 --> 00:49:09,550
being stalked by police officers

1443
00:49:09,550 --> 00:49:11,586
or other people in general using

1444
00:49:11,586 --> 00:49:13,586
flock cameras.

1445
00:49:14,210 --> 00:49:14,889
I have concerns about my safety

1446
00:49:14,889 --> 00:49:16,791
regarding things like

1447
00:49:16,791 --> 00:49:18,393
surveillance in my area.

1448
00:49:18,393 --> 00:49:20,495
Especially as a young woman.

1449
00:49:20,495 --> 00:49:21,696
i'm a homeowner here.

1450
00:49:21,696 --> 00:49:23,430
I'd like to feel safe when I

1451
00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:25,567
walk around at night.

1452
00:49:25,567 --> 00:49:26,567
I generally really have great

1453
00:49:26,567 --> 00:49:29,567
encounters with egpd, this is

1454
00:49:30,638 --> 00:49:32,574
not a knock on them.

1455
00:49:32,574 --> 00:49:34,776
I have to speak in favor of what

1456
00:49:34,776 --> 00:49:37,776
everyone else is talking about,

1457
00:49:38,145 --> 00:49:40,548
I'm very against ALPRs including

1458
00:49:40,548 --> 00:49:43,351
flock, axi environment on, met

1459
00:49:43,351 --> 00:49:45,530
role a I want to be face to face

1460
00:49:45,530 --> 00:49:46,655
with officers, people who know

1461
00:49:46,655 --> 00:49:48,589
the community, talking to us,

1462
00:49:48,589 --> 00:49:48,784
know our situations I don't want

1463
00:49:48,784 --> 00:49:50,358
-

1464
00:49:50,358 --> 00:49:52,930
to have to be dealing with ai.

1465
00:49:52,930 --> 00:49:54,929
Ai doesn't know who I am and I

1466
00:49:54,929 --> 00:49:56,498
don't want to be in a situation

1467
00:49:56,498 --> 00:49:58,199
where I have to -- I'm dealing

1468
00:49:58,199 --> 00:50:00,836
with facial recognition of some

1469
00:50:00,836 --> 00:50:01,736
kind.

1470
00:50:01,736 --> 00:50:03,805
Like that woman who is

1471
00:50:03,805 --> 00:50:04,973
potentially prosecuted.

1472
00:50:04,973 --> 00:50:06,340
I would like to feel safe in my

1473
00:50:06,340 --> 00:50:07,476
neighborhood.

1474
00:50:07,476 --> 00:50:09,678
I will be keeping that in mind

1475
00:50:09,678 --> 00:50:10,379
when I vote, I really hope that

1476
00:50:10,379 --> 00:50:11,446
you can do your best like the

1477
00:50:11,446 --> 00:50:13,446
rest of us.

1478
00:50:15,483 --> 00:50:15,817
Thank you for your time.

1479
00:50:15,817 --> 00:50:17,817
>> thank you.

1480
00:50:19,154 --> 00:50:22,754
Next up is kayla coats followed

1481
00:50:25,794 --> 00:50:26,562
by yavi.

1482
00:50:26,562 --> 00:50:27,496
Sorry for the butchering of the

1483
00:50:27,496 --> 00:50:29,496
name.

1484
00:50:29,765 --> 00:50:31,899
>> I'm kayla, I'm an elk grove

1485
00:50:31,899 --> 00:50:33,899
resident and homeowner.

1486
00:50:33,969 --> 00:50:35,370
I am also asking elk grove to

1487
00:50:35,370 --> 00:50:38,307
end its flock contract and not

1488
00:50:38,307 --> 00:50:40,420
pursue alternate alpr contracts.

1489
00:50:40,420 --> 00:50:42,678
I would like to address several

1490
00:50:42,678 --> 00:50:44,179
points listed on the elk grove

1491
00:50:44,179 --> 00:50:46,579
website, alpr frequently asked

1492
00:50:46,749 --> 00:50:48,749
questions.

1493
00:50:50,785 --> 00:50:52,354
Elk grove claims alpr only

1494
00:50:52,354 --> 00:50:55,954
records license plate and do not

1495
00:50:56,158 --> 00:50:58,600
do father-in-law searchs.

1496
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,600
Flock free form by physical

1497
00:51:02,498 --> 00:51:03,898
description, patent number U.S.

1498
00:51:03,898 --> 00:51:05,201

00:51:05,201 --> 00:51:06,535
people by race, gender, height,

1500
00:51:06,535 --> 00:51:08,535
and weight.

1501
00:51:09,105 --> 00:51:09,939
The platform is designed to go

1502
00:51:09,939 --> 00:51:11,239
far beyond still images of

1503
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,239
license plates.

1504
00:51:13,676 --> 00:51:16,679
Elk grove says the data policed

1505
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:18,648
is owned by egpd and never used

1506
00:51:18,648 --> 00:51:20,716
for anything besides law

1507
00:51:20,716 --> 00:51:22,251
enforcement and never sold to

1508
00:51:22,251 --> 00:51:25,251
third parties n mountain view

1509
00:51:28,724 --> 00:51:32,924
the city put in data use pro

1510
00:51:32,995 --> 00:51:34,995
protections.

1511
00:51:35,198 --> 00:51:35,665
Flock used the information

1512
00:51:35,665 --> 00:51:37,665
without mountain view

1513
00:51:39,435 --> 00:51:40,102
permission.

1514
00:51:40,102 --> 00:51:42,102
23 vulnerabilities in flock

1515
00:51:46,976 --> 00:51:48,578
security was found.

1516
00:51:48,578 --> 00:51:50,380
Eg says it prohibits the use of

1517
00:51:50,380 --> 00:51:51,981
all alpr for immigration

1518
00:51:51,981 --> 00:51:53,981
enforcement.

1519
00:51:54,284 --> 00:51:55,518
Flock has been running pilot

1520
00:51:55,518 --> 00:51:57,786
programs with border if a troll

1521
00:51:57,786 --> 00:51:59,289
and data security.

1522
00:51:59,289 --> 00:52:00,189
They have been tapped for

1523
00:52:00,189 --> 00:52:01,900
immigration searchs and

1524
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:03,259
impossible to say whether or not

1525
00:52:03,259 --> 00:52:05,495
data intended to be restricted

1526
00:52:05,495 --> 00:52:07,230
by egpd has been retained longer

1527
00:52:07,230 --> 00:52:08,698
than the 30 day limit.

1528
00:52:08,698 --> 00:52:10,667
Flock terms of service allow

1529
00:52:10,667 --> 00:52:12,569
data to be served up to one year

1530
00:52:12,569 --> 00:52:13,737
depending on discretion.

1531
00:52:13,737 --> 00:52:16,639
As someone who had my

1532
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:19,390
information leaked by data

1533
00:52:21,343 --> 00:52:21,911
brokers and docking effort, I'm

1534
00:52:21,911 --> 00:52:23,213
aware of the deleterious

1535
00:52:23,213 --> 00:52:25,213
effects.

1536
00:52:25,948 --> 00:52:27,550
This was a personally motivated

1537
00:52:27,550 --> 00:52:30,550
event with only one victim.

1538
00:52:31,870 --> 00:52:32,522
Flock and alpr is systemic.

1539
00:52:32,522 --> 00:52:34,922
Regardless of the intentions,

1540
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,595
flock and other alpr is

1541
00:52:38,595 --> 00:52:40,863
demonstrably incure and putting

1542
00:52:40,863 --> 00:52:42,766
us at violations of privacy and

1543
00:52:42,766 --> 00:52:45,100
at worse open up the vulnerable

1544
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,937
citizens to the evolving throat

1545
00:52:46,937 --> 00:52:47,938
of stalking, retaliation and

1546
00:52:47,938 --> 00:52:49,938
other harm.

1547
00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:51,675
I implore you in the best of

1548
00:52:51,675 --> 00:52:52,241
faith to consider my and all of

1549
00:52:52,241 --> 00:52:53,176
my fellow citizens concerns.

1550
00:52:53,176 --> 00:52:55,176
Thank you.

1551
00:52:58,749 --> 00:53:00,749
>> thank you.

1552
00:53:03,887 --> 00:53:04,587
Yavi.

1553
00:53:04,587 --> 00:53:06,587
>> yev.

1554
00:53:06,657 --> 00:53:08,125
>> thank you.

1555
00:53:08,125 --> 00:53:11,328
>> hi, I'd like to talk about

1556
00:53:11,328 --> 00:53:11,929
flock safety.

1557
00:53:11,929 --> 00:53:13,163
What is really safe about it.

1558
00:53:13,163 --> 00:53:15,163
?

1559
00:53:16,265 --> 00:53:17,868
By creating such a dragnet of

1560
00:53:17,868 --> 00:53:20,868
surveillance, you paint a big

1561
00:53:21,171 --> 00:53:21,739
target for every dictator, power

1562
00:53:21,739 --> 00:53:23,239
hungry maniac and wealthy

1563
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:24,475
psychopath.

1564
00:53:24,475 --> 00:53:27,475
Making it safer opens the

1565
00:53:27,645 --> 00:53:28,312
communities to the worst and

1566
00:53:28,312 --> 00:53:29,613
those most able of causing great

1567
00:53:29,613 --> 00:53:31,613
damage.

1568
00:53:31,749 --> 00:53:33,149
Is the flock cybersecurity team

1569
00:53:33,149 --> 00:53:36,749
really a match for north korean

1570
00:53:37,154 --> 00:53:38,550
state actors?

1571
00:53:38,550 --> 00:53:38,889
Ai.

1572
00:53:38,889 --> 00:53:41,125
These loud floor fayed cell

1573
00:53:41,125 --> 00:53:43,260
phones are nothing new.

1574
00:53:43,260 --> 00:53:46,260
Strapping drones on to the

1575
00:53:46,564 --> 00:53:48,964
flimsy foundation is inviting

1576
00:53:49,133 --> 00:53:53,170
enemies to take a crack at it.

1577
00:53:53,170 --> 00:53:54,504
This is umpb unnerving, allows

1578
00:53:54,504 --> 00:53:55,573
the enemy to cause great

1579
00:53:55,573 --> 00:53:56,940
targeted damage.

1580
00:53:56,940 --> 00:53:59,109
The city of elk grove is a

1581
00:53:59,109 --> 00:54:01,679
community that a lot of peeper

1582
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:02,579
people want to come to.

1583
00:54:02,579 --> 00:54:04,480
Does skynet make it more

1584
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:05,616
inviting?

1585
00:54:05,616 --> 00:54:07,384
Do you think that wealthy people

1586
00:54:07,384 --> 00:54:09,384
value their privacy?

1587
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,589
They value it greatly.

1588
00:54:11,589 --> 00:54:12,389
Do you think that they will be

1589
00:54:12,389 --> 00:54:14,725
purchasing homes in these well

1590
00:54:14,725 --> 00:54:16,930
watched neighborhoods?

1591
00:54:16,930 --> 00:54:16,695
Power concedes nothing without a

1592
00:54:16,695 --> 00:54:18,695
demand.

1593
00:54:19,229 --> 00:54:21,165
It never did and it never will.

1594
00:54:21,165 --> 00:54:22,867
I ask that you demand real

1595
00:54:22,867 --> 00:54:23,400
accountability of the tools that

1596
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,835
you have unleashed on our

1597
00:54:24,835 --> 00:54:26,835
communities.

1598
00:54:27,338 --> 00:54:27,704
Cancel all alpr contracts.

1599
00:54:27,704 --> 00:54:30,104
i yield my time.

1600
00:54:32,309 --> 00:54:33,100
>> thank you.

1601
00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:36,610
Last speaker in person is jeff

1602
00:54:44,522 --> 00:54:45,123
tune.

1603
00:54:45,123 --> 00:54:47,523
>> hello, good evening, city

1604
00:54:47,792 --> 00:54:49,194
council.

1605
00:54:49,194 --> 00:54:51,229
I'd like to begin by

1606
00:54:51,229 --> 00:54:52,931
acknowledging and thanking the

1607
00:54:52,931 --> 00:54:53,865
many members of elk grove --

1608
00:54:53,865 --> 00:54:55,166
many elk grove residents that

1609
00:54:55,166 --> 00:54:57,469
have invested their personal

1610
00:54:57,469 --> 00:54:58,335
time and energy into conducting

1611
00:54:58,335 --> 00:55:00,735
this and publishing this

1612
00:55:01,172 --> 00:55:03,172
community audit.

1613
00:55:06,143 --> 00:55:07,712
The resident led audit was not

1614
00:55:07,712 --> 00:55:09,800
conducted by outside agitators

1615
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,716
as we have heard you claim.

1616
00:55:11,716 --> 00:55:12,817
But rather engaged residents who

1617
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:13,618
care about their neighbors and

1618
00:55:13,618 --> 00:55:15,820
the safety of all members of our

1619
00:55:15,820 --> 00:55:17,820
community.

1620
00:55:17,856 --> 00:55:19,958
This audit should not be viewed

1621
00:55:19,958 --> 00:55:21,760
as an attack but rather effort

1622
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,194
to highlight a real concern elk

1623
00:55:23,194 --> 00:55:24,729
grove residents have and

1624
00:55:24,729 --> 00:55:26,832
demonstrate that the city

1625
00:55:26,832 --> 00:55:27,833
council has failed to provide

1626
00:55:27,833 --> 00:55:28,800
meaningful invite and so far

1627
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,800
site of the police department

1628
00:55:32,237 --> 00:55:33,505
use of flock.

1629
00:55:33,505 --> 00:55:35,905
The audit has provided

1630
00:55:37,175 --> 00:55:37,676
reasonable evidence that egpd

1631
00:55:37,676 --> 00:55:40,760
has violated state law.

1632
00:55:40,679 --> 00:55:44,879
As a result I am asking again

1633
00:55:47,219 --> 00:55:48,319
that you stop this -- end the

1634
00:55:48,319 --> 00:55:49,120
contract with flock and to not

1635
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:49,421
seek a replacement.

1636
00:55:49,421 --> 00:55:51,421
Thank you.

1637
00:55:53,158 --> 00:55:55,158
>> thank you.

1638
00:55:55,460 --> 00:55:58,970
All right, to the clerk, are

1639
00:55:58,970 --> 00:56:00,198
there any online speakers?

1640
00:56:00,198 --> 00:56:02,467
>> indeed, we have some

1641
00:56:02,467 --> 00:56:04,336
participants online.

1642
00:56:04,336 --> 00:56:06,904
What I will be doing is unmuting

1643
00:56:06,904 --> 00:56:08,740
eli first, what you will want to

1644
00:56:08,740 --> 00:56:11,510
do on your side is first be

1645
00:56:11,510 --> 00:56:12,744
asked to unmute and you want to

1646
00:56:12,744 --> 00:56:15,140
unmute, then you have the floor

1647
00:56:15,140 --> 00:56:16,481
and I will pull up the speaker

1648
00:56:16,481 --> 00:56:18,317
time are for you to see.

1649
00:56:18,317 --> 00:56:20,853
>> excellent, can you hear me.

1650
00:56:20,853 --> 00:56:23,253
>> indeed, loud and clear.

1651
00:56:24,890 --> 00:56:26,570
Usually devices are very good at

1652
00:56:26,570 --> 00:56:27,526
sound attenuating so they should

1653
00:56:27,526 --> 00:56:31,126
be pretty good at finding where

1654
00:56:32,698 --> 00:56:34,698
we are at.

1655
00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:37,902
I have to find my speaker timer.

1656
00:56:37,902 --> 00:56:42,102
Go ahead, let's see if we can

1657
00:56:44,243 --> 00:56:46,780
pull this online.

1658
00:56:46,780 --> 00:56:48,780
Ready to go.

1659
00:56:48,380 --> 00:56:49,148
>> I'm ready.

1660
00:56:49,148 --> 00:56:49,916
>> please proceed.

1661
00:56:49,916 --> 00:56:51,916
>> excellent.

1662
00:56:53,180 --> 00:56:55,120
Hi, I'm eli, I live in the area.

1663
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,856
I just wanted to express my

1664
00:56:56,856 --> 00:56:59,856
opposition to you guessed it,

1665
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:01,626
the widespread use of ALPRs by

1666
00:57:01,626 --> 00:57:02,694
the city of elk grove.

1667
00:57:02,694 --> 00:57:04,597
Using public records requests,

1668
00:57:04,597 --> 00:57:05,965
we do know that police officers

1669
00:57:05,965 --> 00:57:08,968
in the state of california of

1670
00:57:08,968 --> 00:57:12,271
made searchs on behalf of ice.

1671
00:57:12,271 --> 00:57:14,407
These same off selves that have

1672
00:57:14,407 --> 00:57:15,842
network access, most of the PDs

1673
00:57:15,842 --> 00:57:17,842
in california.

1674
00:57:18,645 --> 00:57:20,212
I'm not anti-police but I am

1675
00:57:20,212 --> 00:57:22,212
anti-surveillance.

1676
00:57:22,515 --> 00:57:24,650
I can't physically leave my home

1677
00:57:24,650 --> 00:57:25,952
without my location being logged

1678
00:57:25,952 --> 00:57:27,453
by a camera that goes straight

1679
00:57:27,453 --> 00:57:29,220
to the police.

1680
00:57:29,220 --> 00:57:30,123
If somebody said that to you 10

1681
00:57:30,123 --> 00:57:31,623
years ago with a straight face

1682
00:57:31,623 --> 00:57:32,458
you would be looking for the tin

1683
00:57:32,458 --> 00:57:34,458
foil hat.

1684
00:57:34,894 --> 00:57:36,796
But here we are.

1685
00:57:36,796 --> 00:57:38,466
I really can't believe what I

1686
00:57:38,466 --> 00:57:39,532
just said is true.

1687
00:57:39,532 --> 00:57:41,532
This horrifies my.

1688
00:57:43,203 --> 00:57:45,400
And I wanted to remind everyone

1689
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,939
present that these surveillance

1690
00:57:46,939 --> 00:57:48,908
infrastructure in china was

1691
00:57:48,908 --> 00:57:50,430
built by american companies,

1692
00:57:50,430 --> 00:57:51,945
cisco and oracle.

1693
00:57:51,945 --> 00:57:55,545
The same thing is happening, one

1694
00:57:55,949 --> 00:57:56,683
city at a time, one more

1695
00:57:56,683 --> 00:57:58,683
invicive surveillance technology

1696
00:57:58,852 --> 00:58:00,854
bought by local PDs.

1697
00:58:00,854 --> 00:58:04,223
I ask you before I yield my time

1698
00:58:04,223 --> 00:58:05,959
do we truly value our pry

1699
00:58:05,959 --> 00:58:07,928
tomorrow or will we yield them

1700
00:58:07,928 --> 00:58:08,195
for short term gain.

1701
00:58:08,195 --> 00:58:10,195
Thank you.

1702
00:58:12,332 --> 00:58:13,567
>> okay, next public comment.

1703
00:58:13,567 --> 00:58:15,735
>> I have another speaker,

1704
00:58:15,735 --> 00:58:18,471
pardon me as I just kind of go

1705
00:58:18,471 --> 00:58:21,174
through the motions of how we

1706
00:58:21,174 --> 00:58:23,574
need to do this.

1707
00:58:27,681 --> 00:58:28,348
Hold on one moment.

1708
00:58:28,348 --> 00:58:30,617
Isa, you should have a prompt to

1709
00:58:30,617 --> 00:58:32,617
unmute.

1710
00:58:33,119 --> 00:58:34,870
>> yes, hello.

1711
00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:35,222
>> perfect, coming through loud

1712

>> thank you.

1714
00:58:38,892 --> 00:58:39,793
Good evening, elk grove city

1715
00:58:39,793 --> 00:58:41,995
council, thank you again for

1716
00:58:41,995 --> 00:58:44,398
hearing us out on the alpr and

1717
00:58:44,398 --> 00:58:45,650
flock camera concerns.

1718
00:58:45,650 --> 00:58:46,800
I'm a highly concerned community

1719
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:47,467
member.

1720
00:58:47,467 --> 00:58:49,169
Because of the privacy concerns

1721
00:58:49,169 --> 00:58:51,169
of flock cameras.

1722
00:58:53,573 --> 00:58:55,776
We are living modern day 1984

1723
00:58:55,776 --> 00:58:57,878
society which is frightening.

1724
00:58:57,878 --> 00:59:01,283
If some of you don't know, there

1725
00:59:01,283 --> 00:59:04,283
is a novel called "1948 ""by

1726
00:59:05,186 --> 00:59:06,887
george orwell highlights the

1727
00:59:06,887 --> 00:59:08,210
surveillance and fascist

1728
00:59:08,210 --> 00:59:09,723
regimes.

1729
00:59:09,723 --> 00:59:12,123
Big brother is watching.

1730
00:59:12,692 --> 00:59:14,270
We all have a right to privacy.

1731
00:59:14,270 --> 00:59:15,696
Flock cameras are extremely

1732
00:59:15,696 --> 00:59:17,865
expensive and that money should

1733
00:59:17,865 --> 00:59:18,432
be invested in improving our

1734
00:59:18,432 --> 00:59:19,233
road infrastructure in elk

1735
00:59:19,233 --> 00:59:20,200
grove.

1736
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,168
Our roads are so cruded these

1737
00:59:21,168 --> 00:59:22,636
days.

1738
00:59:22,636 --> 00:59:24,636
A -- crowded.

1739
00:59:25,172 --> 00:59:26,740
We need the money to be poured

1740
00:59:26,740 --> 00:59:28,740
into public transportation,

1741
00:59:28,740 --> 00:59:29,844
education, libraries and

1742
00:59:29,844 --> 00:59:31,844
community resources.

1743
00:59:32,246 --> 00:59:33,381
We demand elk grove cut their

1744
00:59:33,381 --> 00:59:35,781
alpr contract, full transparency

1745
00:59:36,830 --> 00:59:37,685
of how the data its used, and

1746
00:59:37,685 --> 00:59:40,287
that elk grove police department

1747
00:59:40,287 --> 00:59:43,287
finds alternate ways of ensuring

1748
00:59:43,825 --> 00:59:45,825
safety.

1749
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:46,894
>> thank you.

1750
00:59:46,894 --> 00:59:48,894
Any other comments?

1751
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:50,598
>> I do not have any other

1752
00:59:50,598 --> 00:59:51,899
raised hands.

1753
00:59:51,899 --> 00:59:54,267
>> I'm going to close the public

1754
00:59:54,267 --> 00:59:55,970

1755
00:59:55,970 --> 00:59:58,720

So the council cannot table any

1762
01:00:09,149 --> 01:00:10,351

01:04:27,770 --> 01:04:29,145
contributed, we did an increase

1901
01:04:29,145 --> 01:04:31,248
on that and I'm happy to see

1902
01:04:31,248 --> 01:04:33,917
that we supported this again.

1903
01:04:33,917 --> 01:04:36,286
It is definitely in need and I

1904
01:04:36,286 --> 01:04:37,755
believe that we did several

1905
01:04:37,755 --> 01:04:38,489
workshops with elk grove unified

1906
01:04:38,489 --> 01:04:40,324
and continue doing.

1907
01:04:40,324 --> 01:04:42,793
That I want our community to

1908
01:04:42,793 --> 01:04:44,128
know that we take our immigrant

1909
01:04:44,128 --> 01:04:45,629
population very seriously and we

1910
01:04:45,629 --> 01:04:47,565
will stand with you, and this is

1911
01:04:47,565 --> 01:04:48,132
one step as a city and

1912
01:04:48,132 --> 01:04:49,166
leadership we're doing this

1913
01:04:49,166 --> 01:04:50,400
together.

1914
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,269
>> yes, thank you, thank you for

1915
01:04:52,269 --> 01:04:53,804
bringing that up.

1916
01:04:53,804 --> 01:04:57,274
All right, so the motion passes.

1917
01:04:57,274 --> 01:05:00,244
We will go on to our next item,

1918
01:05:00,244 --> 01:05:02,644
8.1 public hearing to consider

1919
01:05:02,813 --> 01:05:04,810
an ordinance imposing a

1920
01:05:04,810 --> 01:05:05,416
moratorium on the issuance of

1921
01:05:05,416 --> 01:05:06,184
new entitlement approvals for

1922
01:05:06,184 --> 01:05:08,584
personal storage facilities in

1923
01:05:23,340 --> 01:05:26,340
the city of elk grove.

1924
01:05:26,704 --> 01:05:28,539
>> hold one second, sarah.

1925
01:05:28,539 --> 01:05:30,141
Now you should be able to go to

1926
01:05:30,141 --> 01:05:32,141
your powerpoint.

1927
01:05:37,415 --> 01:05:39,317
Make sure it is projecting.

1928
01:05:39,317 --> 01:05:41,317
>> good evening mayor,

department.

1932
01:05:46,357 --> 01:05:48,359
This is consideration of a

1933
01:05:48,359 --> 01:05:50,759
moratorium on new entitlement

1934
01:05:51,329 --> 01:05:51,763
approvals for personal storage

1935
01:05:51,763 --> 01:05:53,763
facilities citywide.

1936
01:05:54,231 --> 01:05:56,670
Concerns every been expressed by

1937
01:05:56,670 --> 01:05:57,369
council, staff and residents

1938
01:05:57,369 --> 01:05:59,370

1941
01:06:01,706 --> 01:06:03,708
The moratorium would remain in

1944
01:06:06,144 --> 01:06:08,544
regulations of the use.

1945
01:06:08,913 --> 01:06:11,183
The proposed moratorium would

1946
01:06:11,183 --> 01:06:13,752
not apply to any projects with

1947
01:06:13,752 --> 01:06:15,253
approved valid entitlements.

1948
01:06:15,253 --> 01:06:16,387
The planning commission reviewed

1949
01:06:16,387 --> 01:06:18,589

One member of the public spoke

1952
01:06:22,930 --> 01:06:24,162

1953
01:06:24,162 --> 01:06:26,562

1965
01:06:46,585 --> 01:06:47,986
The use is conditionally

1966
01:06:47,986 --> 01:06:50,386

currently in any zone.

1974
01:07:02,668 --> 01:07:03,268
There are 19 existing personal

1975
01:07:03,268 --> 01:07:04,737
storage facilities within the

1976
01:07:04,737 --> 01:07:06,737
city limits.

1977
01:07:09,174 --> 01:07:09,775
And four existing facilities

1978
01:07:09,775 --> 01:07:11,900
within two miles of the city.

1979
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:13,900
Additionally two facilities

1980
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,981
including one auto and vehicle

1981
01:07:15,981 --> 01:07:18,150
storage facility currently under

1982
01:07:18,150 --> 01:07:20,550
construction, and one improved,

1983
01:07:20,986 --> 01:07:24,423
the mixed use project that has

1984
01:07:24,423 --> 01:07:26,692
been approved by council but has

1985
01:07:26,692 --> 01:07:26,877
not begun construction as of

1986
01:07:26,877 --> 01:07:28,861
yet.

1987
01:07:28,861 --> 01:07:31,290
The city general plan includes

1988
01:07:31,290 --> 01:07:33,320
policies that macon flikt with

1989
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,432
personal storage facility use,

1990
01:07:35,468 --> 01:07:38,203
specifically policy ed2-2, the

1991
01:07:38,203 --> 01:07:39,639
city shall maximize the use of

1992
01:07:39,639 --> 01:07:41,440
nonresidential land generating

1993
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,440
and revenue generating uses as

1994
01:07:44,944 --> 01:07:45,545
well as policy lu-1-2,

1995
01:07:45,545 --> 01:07:47,814
increasing jobs and economic

1996
01:07:47,814 --> 01:07:49,810
development.

1997
01:07:49,810 --> 01:07:51,810
Personal storage facilities

1998
01:07:51,117 --> 01:07:52,718
typically don't create a

1999
01:07:52,718 --> 01:07:54,120
significant number of jobs and

2000
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,923
are not a materially revenue

2001
01:07:56,923 --> 01:07:59,250
generating use to the city.

2002
01:07:59,250 --> 01:08:00,760
Additionally they can consume

2003
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:01,961
large footprints of valuable

2004
01:08:01,961 --> 01:08:04,864
land that could be developed

2005
01:08:04,864 --> 01:08:05,965
into housing or other

2006
01:08:05,965 --> 01:08:07,965
employment, or revenue

2007
01:08:09,102 --> 01:08:10,737
generating commercial uses.

2008
01:08:10,737 --> 01:08:12,871
The project has been determined

2009
01:08:12,871 --> 01:08:15,742
to be -- the moratorium has been

2010
01:08:15,742 --> 01:08:17,510
determined to be not a project

2011
01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:20,510
and further exempt from ceqa

2012
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:21,614
pursuant to guideline section

2013
01:08:21,614 --> 01:08:23,683
15061b3, the common sense

2014
01:08:23,683 --> 01:08:24,884
exemption.

2015
01:08:24,884 --> 01:08:26,552
Staff recommends that the city

2016
01:08:26,552 --> 01:08:28,988
council find the moratorium not

2017
01:08:28,988 --> 01:08:32,588
a project subject to ceqa and

2018
01:08:33,159 --> 01:08:36,162
exempt from ceqa resue and adopt

2019
01:08:36,162 --> 01:08:37,960
an ordinance imposing moratorium

2020
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,496
on any personal storage

2021
01:08:40,660 --> 01:08:41,167
facilities in the city.

2022
01:08:41,167 --> 01:08:43,303
This concludes my presentation,

2023
01:08:43,303 --> 01:08:45,703
I'm available for presents.

2024
01:08:45,939 --> 01:08:47,939
>> thank you.

2025
01:08:47,974 --> 01:08:49,275
I'll declare the public hearing

2026
01:08:49,275 --> 01:08:49,876
open and open up public comment

2027
01:08:49,876 --> 01:08:51,778
opportunity starting with in

2028
01:08:51,778 --> 01:08:53,647
person.

2029
01:08:53,647 --> 01:08:54,915
I do not have anyone signed up

2030
01:08:54,915 --> 01:08:55,148
for this in person, anybody

2031
01:08:55,148 --> 01:08:57,148
online?

2032
01:08:57,918 --> 01:08:58,951
>> I'm looking at our webinar

2033
01:08:58,951 --> 01:09:02,551
environment, I do not see a

2034
01:09:02,622 --> 01:09:02,823
raise hand function utilized for

2035
01:09:02,823 --> 01:09:03,623
8.1.

2036
01:09:03,623 --> 01:09:06,623
>> then I will close public

2037
01:09:08,862 --> 01:09:09,329
comment and declare the public

2038
01:09:09,329 --> 01:09:10,564
hearing is now closed.

2039
01:09:10,564 --> 01:09:13,467
Open it up for discussion.

2040
01:09:13,467 --> 01:09:16,102
We'll start to the left.

2041
01:09:16,102 --> 01:09:16,737
Councilmember brewer?

2042
01:09:16,737 --> 01:09:18,737
>> thank you.

2043
01:09:22,843 --> 01:09:24,544
I want to thank sarah for the

2044
01:09:24,544 --> 01:09:26,944
presentation and for the

2045
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,280
information provided.

2046
01:09:29,817 --> 01:09:32,217
Like you said, 19 personal

2047
01:09:39,159 --> 01:09:42,159
storage facilities in elk grove.

2048
01:09:43,797 --> 01:09:46,967
I would say there's a lot of --

2049
01:09:46,967 --> 01:09:49,737
to see a lot of vacancy in the

2050
01:09:49,737 --> 01:09:52,106
storage facilities is definitely

2051
01:09:52,106 --> 01:09:53,540
points to whether we need more

2052
01:09:53,540 --> 01:09:56,760
that are built in the city.

2053
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:56,677
There's another one on waterman

2054
01:09:56,677 --> 01:10:00,277
road near the elk grove water

2055
01:10:01,782 --> 01:10:03,451
district.

2056
01:10:03,451 --> 01:10:04,852
Office being built as well.

2057
01:10:04,852 --> 01:10:05,486
We have a good number of

2058
01:10:05,486 --> 01:10:07,886
personal storage facilities in

2059
01:10:08,890 --> 01:10:09,990
the city.

2060
01:10:09,990 --> 01:10:13,360
I think right now it is good to

2061
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,729
put a moratorium on it to put a

2062
01:10:15,729 --> 01:10:16,497
cooler on everything more

2063
01:10:16,497 --> 01:10:18,231
facilities than there are

2064
01:10:18,231 --> 01:10:19,267
households and debt manned.

2065
01:10:19,267 --> 01:10:20,801
That's all I have to -- the

2066
01:10:20,801 --> 01:10:21,434
demand.

2067
01:10:21,434 --> 01:10:23,337
Thank you.

2068
01:10:23,337 --> 01:10:23,638
>> thank you, councilmember

2069
01:10:23,638 --> 01:10:25,539
spease in.

2070
01:10:25,539 --> 01:10:26,807
>> yes, I thought I had this

2071
01:10:26,807 --> 01:10:29,143
answer but I didn't see it in

2072
01:10:29,143 --> 01:10:30,110
the staff report, I hope I don't

2073
01:10:30,110 --> 01:10:32,110
get it wrong.

2074
01:10:32,847 --> 01:10:36,617
This has -- what is the length

2075
01:10:36,617 --> 01:10:38,919
of time that this moratorium is?

2076
01:10:38,919 --> 01:10:41,319
>> currently the moratorium does

2077
01:10:41,722 --> 01:10:44,722
not every an end date.

2078
01:10:44,826 --> 01:10:46,127
It is indefinite, until

2079
01:10:46,127 --> 01:10:48,960
otherwise repealed.

2080
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:48,729
>> there's no statute that

2081
01:10:48,729 --> 01:10:51,466
limits the number of years or

2082
01:10:51,466 --> 01:10:52,990
months?

2083
01:10:52,990 --> 01:10:53,434
>> not for this type of

2084
01:10:53,434 --> 01:10:54,769
ordinance.

2085
01:10:54,769 --> 01:10:57,172
There is what you might be

2086
01:10:57,172 --> 01:10:59,140
thinking of is if you adopted an

2087
01:10:59,140 --> 01:11:01,140
urgency ordinance.

2088
01:11:01,142 --> 01:11:02,944
With the moratorium.

2089
01:11:02,944 --> 01:11:03,445
Those are done on a relatively

2090
01:11:03,445 --> 01:11:05,445
short basis.

2091
01:11:06,516 --> 01:11:08,315
This walls not proposed as

2092
01:11:08,315 --> 01:11:08,716
urgency ordinance, it is a

2093
01:11:08,716 --> 01:11:09,284
regular ordinance.

2094
01:11:09,284 --> 01:11:12,284
There's not an express time

2095
01:11:13,154 --> 01:11:15,154
period.

2096
01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:19,191
For moratorium like this.

2097
01:11:19,461 --> 01:11:20,996
>> do we have a guesstimate when

2098
01:11:20,996 --> 01:11:23,298
we plan to bring it back?

2099
01:11:23,298 --> 01:11:24,733
i don't want a moratorium

2100
01:11:24,733 --> 01:11:26,568
forever while we study it.

2101
01:11:26,568 --> 01:11:29,270
Is there some length of time you

2102
01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:31,139
think it will come back?

2103
01:11:31,139 --> 01:11:32,340
>> our next step would be to

2104
01:11:32,340 --> 01:11:34,109
scoping and analysis around

2105
01:11:34,109 --> 01:11:36,760
that, getting a consultant to

2106
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:37,779
look at the market demands, look

2107
01:11:37,779 --> 01:11:39,180
at the market concentrations in

2108
01:11:39,180 --> 01:11:41,315
the city compared to other

2109
01:11:41,315 --> 01:11:42,818
injures diss.

2110
01:11:42,818 --> 01:11:45,860
It'll take time to get it

2111
01:11:45,860 --> 01:11:45,420
drafted on the street for review

2112
01:11:45,420 --> 01:11:46,621
and responses.

2113
01:11:46,621 --> 01:11:48,890
Probably not before the spring,

2114
01:11:48,890 --> 01:11:52,227
it MAY fall out later than that.

2115
01:11:52,227 --> 01:11:53,161
We have to balance that with

2116
01:11:53,161 --> 01:11:55,161
other priorities.

2117
01:11:55,731 --> 01:11:57,599
>> I want to be certain that

2118
01:11:57,599 --> 01:12:00,769
while we put thought into it,

2119
01:12:00,769 --> 01:12:03,138
that this doesn't become an

2120
01:12:03,138 --> 01:12:05,174
endless moratorium where we

2121
01:12:05,174 --> 01:12:07,420
aren't actually doing the work

2122
01:12:07,420 --> 01:12:08,377
of studying.

2123
01:12:08,377 --> 01:12:10,979
I have a little bit of concerns

2124
01:12:10,979 --> 01:12:13,148
about doing this indefinitely.

2125
01:12:13,148 --> 01:12:15,717
I'd rather have some time fame

2126
01:12:15,717 --> 01:12:17,252
put on it.

2127
01:12:17,252 --> 01:12:18,787
I've changed, I probably will

2128
01:12:18,787 --> 01:12:18,988
not be able to support this

2129
01:12:18,988 --> 01:12:20,988
today.

2130
01:12:21,557 --> 01:12:24,557
I don't have a timeframe.

2131
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,160
>> councilmember robles.

2132
01:12:27,795 --> 01:12:28,130
>> thank you MADAM Mayor.

2133
01:12:28,130 --> 01:12:30,130
No questions.

2134
01:12:32,401 --> 01:12:34,336
Willing to support this project.

2135
01:12:34,336 --> 01:12:36,271
>> I have had a number of

2136
01:12:36,271 --> 01:12:38,671
complaints from the community

2137
01:12:39,241 --> 01:12:42,841
over the last six years about

2138
01:12:44,580 --> 01:12:46,980
the oversaturate of storage.

2139
01:12:47,115 --> 01:12:48,984
Looking at the map I do believe

2140
01:12:48,984 --> 01:12:51,787
that we have, obviously not with

2141
01:12:51,787 --> 01:12:54,890
scientific analysis, but appears

2142
01:12:54,890 --> 01:12:55,458
that we have sufficient number

2143
01:12:55,458 --> 01:12:57,458
at this time.

2144
01:12:59,695 --> 01:13:01,630
I am in support of this.

2145
01:13:01,630 --> 01:13:04,366
I trust staff to study this and

2146
01:13:04,366 --> 01:13:08,700
bring it back as you see fit.

2147
01:13:08,700 --> 01:13:09,471
In terms of waiting indefinitely

2148
01:13:09,471 --> 01:13:10,973
5, 10 years imagine are you

2149
01:13:10,973 --> 01:13:13,376
going to be monitoring this.

2150
01:13:13,376 --> 01:13:14,876
I don't feel the urgency of

2151
01:13:14,876 --> 01:13:17,146
putting a timeframe other than

2152
01:13:17,146 --> 01:13:20,146
I'm much more interested in

2153
01:13:20,183 --> 01:13:21,284
putting a moratorium to at least

2154
01:13:21,284 --> 01:13:23,853
stop any future projects of this

2155
01:13:23,853 --> 01:13:25,121
kind.

2156
01:13:25,121 --> 01:13:28,121
Apologies, I negligented to go

2157
01:13:28,925 --> 01:13:31,925
to you, vice mayor online.

2158
01:13:41,938 --> 01:13:43,539
That is sort of my concern.

2159
01:13:43,539 --> 01:13:45,408
Bridges back as you see felt and

2160
01:13:45,408 --> 01:13:47,344
come back with us, once you

2161
01:13:47,344 --> 01:13:48,945
assess the needs and our

2162
01:13:48,945 --> 01:13:50,680
population continues to grow.

2163
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,148
And the existing projects that

2164
01:13:52,148 --> 01:13:55,850
have been approved but haven't

2165
01:13:55,850 --> 01:13:56,486
broken ground yet.

2166
01:13:56,486 --> 01:13:58,688
Looking at those, availability

2167
01:13:58,688 --> 01:14:00,257
of those units as well, balanced

2168
01:14:00,257 --> 01:14:01,958
with what the need might be.

2169
01:14:01,958 --> 01:14:04,294
Rather than putting up storage

2170
01:14:04,294 --> 01:14:06,329
units and what I like to say

2171
01:14:06,329 --> 01:14:07,464
prime real estate in elk grove.

2172
01:14:07,464 --> 01:14:09,533
There are so many other

2173
01:14:09,533 --> 01:14:10,166
wonderful projects that we could

2174
01:14:10,166 --> 01:14:11,834
be doing other than storage

2175
01:14:11,834 --> 01:14:12,469
units.

2176
01:14:12,469 --> 01:14:15,469
Very happy to support this.

2177
01:14:16,106 --> 01:14:18,106
Vice mayor.

2178
01:14:20,510 --> 01:14:22,510
>> thank you, mayor.

2179
01:14:23,913 --> 01:14:27,513
I mean, you think this is

2180
01:14:28,285 --> 01:14:30,487
straightforward, I do agree we

2181
01:14:30,487 --> 01:14:34,458
might be able to do some much

2182
01:14:34,458 --> 01:14:37,458
better uses in certain places.

2183
01:14:37,627 --> 01:14:39,129
I worry that if this wasn't

2184
01:14:39,129 --> 01:14:41,980
storage facilitieses, if this

2185
01:14:41,980 --> 01:14:43,100
was something we did like and

2186
01:14:43,100 --> 01:14:47,300
you put a more foreium on it,

2187
01:14:48,872 --> 01:14:51,872
the knife cuts both ways.

2188
01:14:51,975 --> 01:14:54,770
I would support a temporary

2189
01:14:54,770 --> 01:14:56,179
moratorium, they do take up so

2190
01:14:56,179 --> 01:14:58,179
much land.

2191
01:14:59,149 --> 01:15:01,886
It is worth taking a look at the

2192
01:15:01,886 --> 01:15:04,121
uses around our city and whether

2193
01:15:04,121 --> 01:15:08,321
we want to allow, where we want

2194
01:15:08,892 --> 01:15:09,259
to allow storage units for

2195
01:15:09,259 --> 01:15:10,928
further actions.

2196
01:15:10,928 --> 01:15:13,196
In regards to timing, I agree

2197
01:15:13,196 --> 01:15:15,596
with councilmember spease, not

2198
01:15:15,733 --> 01:15:18,133
having a definitive time.

2199
01:15:18,302 --> 01:15:20,404
i would suggest, I know

2200
01:15:20,404 --> 01:15:21,237
MR. Jordan is going to work on,

2201
01:15:21,237 --> 01:15:23,408
staff is going to work on

2202
01:15:23,408 --> 01:15:25,408
bringing it back.

2203
01:15:27,144 --> 01:15:27,645
I suspect it is not going to

2204
01:15:27,645 --> 01:15:29,180
take longer than a year.

2205
01:15:29,180 --> 01:15:31,749
But whatever -- when we bring it

2206
01:15:31,749 --> 01:15:33,951
back I guess what I would

2207
01:15:33,951 --> 01:15:37,521
suggest is we put in there a

2208
01:15:37,521 --> 01:15:38,289
time to revisit that moratorium

2209
01:15:38,289 --> 01:15:41,358
each year or something to that

2210
01:15:41,358 --> 01:15:43,358
effect.

2211
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,162
So we will be sure to look at it

2212
01:15:45,162 --> 01:15:45,595
again and it won't be something

2213
01:15:45,595 --> 01:15:47,995
peril in any event,

2214
01:15:48,699 --> 01:15:49,199
automatically.

2215
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:51,302
I would suggest that

2216
01:15:51,302 --> 01:15:53,302
modification.

2217
01:15:53,938 --> 01:15:54,572
When you bring it back, cj,

2218
01:15:54,572 --> 01:15:56,607
maybe we have that included in

2219
01:15:56,607 --> 01:15:58,607
there.

2220
01:15:59,544 --> 01:16:01,944
>> for my understanding, staff,

2221
01:16:02,413 --> 01:16:05,617
if this should pass as is, you

2222
01:16:05,617 --> 01:16:07,952
will study this, and should any

2223
01:16:07,952 --> 01:16:09,952
change s

2224
01:16:11,550 --> 01:16:11,723
changes, whatever the study

2225
01:16:11,723 --> 01:16:12,356
yields you will come back at

2226
01:16:12,356 --> 01:16:13,625
that time with what the study

2227
01:16:13,625 --> 01:16:15,459
shows.

2228
01:16:15,459 --> 01:16:16,694
>> correct, based on the result

2229
01:16:16,694 --> 01:16:18,129
of the study and staff

2230
01:16:18,129 --> 01:16:19,196
recommendation we'll bring it

2231
01:16:19,196 --> 01:16:21,196
back through planning

2232
01:16:21,399 --> 01:16:23,670
commission, council w ordinance

2233
01:16:23,670 --> 01:16:24,202
undoing or with new development

2234
01:16:24,202 --> 01:16:26,360
standards or use requirements or

2235
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,360
zone restrictions, whatever

2236
01:16:28,206 --> 01:16:29,407
those things MAY be, would be

2237
01:16:29,407 --> 01:16:31,675
part of the recommendation, with

2238
01:16:31,675 --> 01:16:33,878
planning commission and council.

2239
01:16:33,878 --> 01:16:36,140
If you look for some sort of

2240
01:16:36,140 --> 01:16:38,649
renewal date where we have to

2241
01:16:38,649 --> 01:16:40,151
extend it or get the work done,

2242
01:16:40,151 --> 01:16:42,551
we could add language.

2243
01:16:42,654 --> 01:16:44,656
I would need to consult the city

2244
01:16:44,656 --> 01:16:46,291
attorney on how best to do that.

2245
01:16:46,291 --> 01:16:46,825
>> let me officer some

2246
01:16:46,825 --> 01:16:47,993
thoughts -- officer some

2247
01:16:47,993 --> 01:16:49,427
thoughts.

2248
01:16:49,427 --> 01:16:51,496
If the council would like to

2249
01:16:51,496 --> 01:16:53,332
have a hard coded deadline a

2250
01:16:53,332 --> 01:16:55,732
year, two years, 18 months

2251
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,969
whatever you feel comfortable

2252
01:16:57,969 --> 01:17:00,138
with, we can add that in.

2253
01:17:00,138 --> 01:17:01,306
If you want to give direction to

2254
01:17:01,306 --> 01:17:03,909
staff as you have done that this

2255
01:17:03,909 --> 01:17:04,543
be brought back and reviewed and

2256
01:17:04,543 --> 01:17:05,243
revisited periodically that can

2257
01:17:05,243 --> 01:17:07,243
be done.

2258
01:17:08,246 --> 01:17:09,648
If you want it to be expressly

2259
01:17:09,648 --> 01:17:10,148
brought back on a certain

2260
01:17:10,148 --> 01:17:11,616
schedule that can be

2261
01:17:11,616 --> 01:17:13,616
accommodated.

2262
01:17:15,454 --> 01:17:18,456
My suggestion might be is the

2263
01:17:18,456 --> 01:17:19,691
simplest a approach, pick a

2264
01:17:19,691 --> 01:17:21,930
date, maybe a little longer than

2265
01:17:21,930 --> 01:17:24,930
you might otherwise suggest, and

2266
01:17:24,496 --> 01:17:26,331
put it into the ordinance.

2267
01:17:26,331 --> 01:17:26,899
If staff feels the need to

2268
01:17:26,899 --> 01:17:30,499
extend that we can bring it

2269
01:17:36,942 --> 01:17:38,844
back.

2270
01:17:38,844 --> 01:17:40,412
>> can I support the two years,

2271
01:17:40,412 --> 01:17:42,381
I can.

2272
01:17:42,381 --> 01:17:43,315
I don't mind the renewing once,

2273
01:17:43,315 --> 01:17:44,583
if we do it for a year and

2274
01:17:44,583 --> 01:17:46,583
renew.

2275
01:17:46,852 --> 01:17:48,887
What is nice about doing the two

2276
01:17:48,887 --> 01:17:49,955
years is that we don't have to

2277
01:17:49,955 --> 01:17:51,557
have another action, another

2278
01:17:51,557 --> 01:17:52,190
item.

2279
01:17:52,190 --> 01:17:54,426
Can I certainly support the two

2280
01:17:54,426 --> 01:17:56,426
years.

2281
01:17:56,561 --> 01:18:00,132
And I appreciate -- my concern

2282
01:18:00,132 --> 01:18:01,199
is just to put in a moratorium

2283
01:18:01,199 --> 01:18:03,599
which could sit endlessly

2284
01:18:04,136 --> 01:18:05,203
without resolution.

2285
01:18:05,203 --> 01:18:07,500
>> having guardrails.

2286
01:18:07,500 --> 01:18:08,774
>> having guardrails.

2287
01:18:08,774 --> 01:18:09,408
I appreciate the rest of the

2288
01:18:09,408 --> 01:18:10,576
council and their consideration

2289
01:18:10,576 --> 01:18:12,576
on that.

2290
01:18:12,912 --> 01:18:13,813
You are striking the middle,

2291
01:18:13,813 --> 01:18:15,715
councilmember suen was very

2292
01:18:15,715 --> 01:18:15,982
good, I appreciate you

2293
01:18:15,982 --> 01:18:17,982
MR. Hobbs.

2294
01:18:18,830 --> 01:18:19,180
I think two years works well.

2295
01:18:19,180 --> 01:18:20,387
>> does two years work for you

2296
01:18:20,387 --> 01:18:22,121
MR. Jordan?

2297
01:18:22,121 --> 01:18:24,657
>> I feel good about that.

2298
01:18:24,657 --> 01:18:26,459
>> is that proper time?

2299
01:18:26,459 --> 01:18:28,930
>> I think two years would be

2300
01:18:28,930 --> 01:18:30,663
good f something happens I would

2301
01:18:30,663 --> 01:18:32,932
report back and ask for an

2302
01:18:32,932 --> 01:18:33,199
extension for appropriate

2303
01:18:33,199 --> 01:18:34,567
reasons.

2304
01:18:34,567 --> 01:18:37,169
>> the motion will be for

2305
01:18:37,169 --> 01:18:38,170
moratorium of two years.

2306
01:18:38,170 --> 01:18:40,139
>> yes.

2307
01:18:40,139 --> 01:18:41,407
>> all right, I will look for

2308
01:18:41,407 --> 01:18:43,407
that motion.

2309
01:18:44,910 --> 01:18:45,178
>> so moved.

2310
01:18:45,178 --> 01:18:46,780

01:18:52,252 --> 01:18:54,530

2315
01:18:54,530 --> 01:18:55,521
years.

find solutions.

2332
01:19:18,311 --> 01:19:20,311
>> absolutely.

2333
01:19:20,413 --> 01:19:22,315
Having a guardrail in place

2334
01:19:22,315 --> 01:19:24,351
meets everybody's neechltd and

2335
01:19:24,351 --> 01:19:25,785
no more storage units right now.

2336
01:19:25,785 --> 01:19:29,985
We will go to the next item,

2337
01:19:57,551 --> 01:19:58,317
9.1.

2338
01:19:58,317 --> 01:20:00,654
>> good evening, I'm finance

2339
01:20:00,654 --> 01:20:02,489

2340
01:20:02,489 --> 01:20:03,560
Tonight I'm pleased to introduce

2341
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:04,725
carlos from chandler asset

management.

2343
01:20:06,259 --> 01:20:08,495
Chandler has partnered with the

2344
01:20:08,495 --> 01:20:09,196
city since 2020 to provide

2345
01:20:09,196 --> 01:20:11,196
investment management and

2346
01:20:13,567 --> 01:20:14,568
advisory services.

2347
01:20:14,568 --> 01:20:15,936
Carlos will provide the

2348
01:20:15,936 --> 01:20:18,172
investment portfolio for the

2349
01:20:18,172 --> 01:20:19,339
city as of the quarter ended

2350
01:20:19,339 --> 01:20:21,339
JUNE 30, 2026.

2351
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:27,448
Carlos?

2352
01:20:27,448 --> 01:20:28,849
>> good evening mayor, vice

2353
01:20:28,849 --> 01:20:30,617
mayor and councilmembers.

2354
01:20:30,617 --> 01:20:31,918
Thank you very much for inviting

2355
01:20:31,918 --> 01:20:33,454
me here to bring you up to date

2356
01:20:33,454 --> 01:20:35,121
on the status of the city's

2357
01:20:35,121 --> 01:20:36,923
investment portfolio.

2358
01:20:36,923 --> 01:20:38,659
I have a brief presentation.

2359
01:20:38,659 --> 01:20:39,593
I'm going to just give you

2360
01:20:39,593 --> 01:20:40,861
description of the investment

2361
01:20:40,861 --> 01:20:42,762
program, factors about it that I

2362
01:20:42,762 --> 01:20:44,397
think are important for you to

2363
01:20:44,397 --> 01:20:46,397
know as policy-makers.

2364
01:20:46,700 --> 01:20:48,335
Status of the portfolio and some

2365
01:20:48,335 --> 01:20:51,935
of the factors driving the risk

2366
01:20:53,174 --> 01:20:56,174
and return in the portfolio.

2367
01:20:57,440 --> 01:20:58,579
I'm carlos, senior portfolio and

2368
01:20:58,579 --> 01:21:00,615
investment pool analyst with

2369
01:21:00,615 --> 01:21:03,150
chandler asset management, we

2370
01:21:04,510 --> 01:21:04,685
manage approximately $50 million

2371
01:21:04,685 --> 01:21:06,454
nationwide, primarily for local

2372
01:21:06,454 --> 01:21:07,822
governments.

2373
01:21:07,822 --> 01:21:09,156
Cities, counties, special

2374
01:21:09,156 --> 01:21:09,457
districts, joint powers

2375
01:21:09,457 --> 01:21:10,858
authorities.

2376
01:21:10,858 --> 01:21:13,594
I myself have been in the

2377
01:21:13,594 --> 01:21:15,994
industry for over 30 years.

2378
01:21:16,970 --> 01:21:16,597
I have a lot of experience in

2379
01:21:16,597 --> 01:21:17,165
working with city money.

2380
01:21:17,165 --> 01:21:19,565
Across california and other

2381
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,000
states.

2382
01:21:23,370 --> 01:21:24,105
>> I don't want to -- sorry to

2383
01:21:24,105 --> 01:21:26,374
interrupt but we have the

2384
01:21:26,374 --> 01:21:28,175
powerpoint up and there is a

2385
01:21:28,175 --> 01:21:31,175
keyboard tray under the podium.

2386
01:21:37,151 --> 01:21:38,753
We let you drive.

2387
01:21:38,753 --> 01:21:40,753
>> thank you.

2388
01:21:41,156 --> 01:21:43,524
I hadn't seen this, thank you.

2389
01:21:43,524 --> 01:21:44,492
>> I wanted to make sure that

2390
01:21:44,492 --> 01:21:46,728
you weren't five slides deep.

2391
01:21:46,728 --> 01:21:48,728
>> exactly.

2392
01:21:48,863 --> 01:21:50,980
I think are you all aware that

2393
01:21:50,980 --> 01:21:51,566
the city's investments are

2394
01:21:51,566 --> 01:21:53,966
subject to california government

2395
01:21:54,536 --> 01:21:55,236
code.

2396
01:21:55,236 --> 01:21:57,636
California government code is

2397
01:21:57,739 --> 01:21:59,739
very restrictive.

2398
01:21:59,874 --> 01:22:01,176
You aren't able to purchase

2399
01:22:01,176 --> 01:22:03,511
stocks, you aren't able to

2400
01:22:03,511 --> 01:22:05,347
purchase real estate, high risk,

2401
01:22:05,347 --> 01:22:06,247
highly volatile investments.

2402
01:22:06,247 --> 01:22:07,415
You are investors in the bond

2403
01:22:07,415 --> 01:22:09,217
market.

2404
01:22:09,217 --> 01:22:10,419
You rent your money out and get

2405
01:22:10,419 --> 01:22:12,387
income from the rental.

2406
01:22:12,387 --> 01:22:14,322
Interest income from that.

2407
01:22:14,322 --> 01:22:16,391
The value of that future payment

2408
01:22:16,391 --> 01:22:19,327
due to you can also go up and

2409
01:22:19,327 --> 01:22:20,896
down depending on what current

2410
01:22:20,896 --> 01:22:21,960
investments in the markets pay

2411
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:22,463
today.

2412
01:22:22,463 --> 01:22:24,399
You make money from the

2413
01:22:24,399 --> 01:22:25,934
portfolio in two ways.

2414
01:22:25,934 --> 01:22:26,768
Interest income and fair value

2415
01:22:26,768 --> 01:22:27,601
of the principle and future

2416
01:22:27,601 --> 01:22:29,271
payments coming to you go up and

2417
01:22:29,271 --> 01:22:31,271
down.

2418
01:22:32,140 --> 01:22:33,675
Our job is to structure the

2419
01:22:33,675 --> 01:22:35,100
portfolio to maximize that

2420
01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:37,179
return within the objectives

2421
01:22:37,179 --> 01:22:37,546
that are outlined by california

2422
01:22:37,546 --> 01:22:39,546
government code.

2423
01:22:39,647 --> 01:22:41,316
Those are safety first, followed

2424
01:22:41,316 --> 01:22:42,840
by liquidity.

2425
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:43,619
After those are met then it is

2426
01:22:43,619 --> 01:22:45,220
return.

2427
01:22:45,220 --> 01:22:46,488
It means that code wants you to

2428
01:22:46,488 --> 01:22:48,257
have your money safe.

2429
01:22:48,257 --> 01:22:50,259
They want you to have your money

2430
01:22:50,259 --> 01:22:51,727
available when you need it.

2431
01:22:51,727 --> 01:22:52,360
After those objectives are met

2432
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,830
they want you to generate return

2433
01:22:54,830 --> 01:22:56,665
on it.

2434
01:22:56,665 --> 01:23:00,265
If you think of the investment

2435
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:04,506
program of the city, think of a

2436
01:23:04,506 --> 01:23:05,541
bucket of whatever, fees for

2437
01:23:05,541 --> 01:23:06,909
services or property taxes,

2438
01:23:06,909 --> 01:23:08,177
sales taxes, that's water coming

2439
01:23:08,177 --> 01:23:10,120
into the bucket.

2440
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,348
When you make expend turt to

2441
01:23:12,348 --> 01:23:14,830
make debt service, to pay for

2442
01:23:14,830 --> 01:23:15,317
pension and all of the services

2443
01:23:15,317 --> 01:23:16,519
that you provide for citizens,

2444
01:23:16,519 --> 01:23:18,720
there's water coming out of the

2445
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:19,221
bucket.

2446
01:23:19,221 --> 01:23:20,756
There's always residual.

2447
01:23:20,756 --> 01:23:21,757
That amount, there's some amount

2448
01:23:21,757 --> 01:23:24,293
of water going up and down all

2449
01:23:24,293 --> 01:23:26,293
the time.

2450
01:23:29,732 --> 01:23:32,233
Your job as a few disturbry,

2451
01:23:32,233 --> 01:23:34,770
keep it safe, liquid and make

2452
01:23:34,770 --> 01:23:37,170
some money on it.

2453
01:23:37,406 --> 01:23:38,700
That's the best way to describe

2454
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:40,700
the investment program.

2455
01:23:41,177 --> 01:23:42,645
When I think of the overall

2456
01:23:42,645 --> 01:23:43,813
investment program, I want to

2457
01:23:43,813 --> 01:23:45,581
make sure that I describe it

2458
01:23:45,581 --> 01:23:47,581
really well.

2459
01:23:48,117 --> 01:23:49,986
It is a collaborative approach.

2460
01:23:49,986 --> 01:23:52,889
As your investment advisor, we

2461
01:23:52,889 --> 01:23:54,122
do the heavy lifting on the

2462
01:23:54,122 --> 01:23:56,125
analysis, on identifying the

2463
01:23:56,125 --> 01:23:58,525
opportunities to generate income

2464
01:24:02,298 --> 01:24:04,298
on this.

2465
01:24:04,601 --> 01:24:07,100
Risk management, credit ability,

2466
01:24:09,305 --> 01:24:11,740
and that your money is safe.

2467
01:24:11,740 --> 01:24:11,640
That is a very important aspect

2468
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,640
of the service, behind the

2469
01:24:15,912 --> 01:24:17,912
scenes.

2470
01:24:18,448 --> 01:24:20,183
When when we buy a security we

2471
01:24:20,183 --> 01:24:21,651
put our best effort and best

2472
01:24:21,651 --> 01:24:22,786
minds and processes to identify

2473
01:24:22,786 --> 01:24:24,788
it as an appropriate investment

2474
01:24:24,788 --> 01:24:26,788
for the city.

2475
01:24:27,624 --> 01:24:29,559
When I say that it is

2476
01:24:29,559 --> 01:24:31,940
collaborative, as I mention that

2477
01:24:31,940 --> 01:24:32,662
analogy of the bucket of water,

2478
01:24:32,662 --> 01:24:36,660
funds that come in and go out,

2479
01:24:36,660 --> 01:24:36,499
come in and go out, there's a

2480
01:24:36,499 --> 01:24:37,500
liquidity component.

2481
01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:39,669
We collaborate with staff to

2482
01:24:39,669 --> 01:24:41,538
make sure that that component is

2483
01:24:41,538 --> 01:24:43,538
also invested.

2484
01:24:45,275 --> 01:24:45,641
The city staff handled that

2485
01:24:45,641 --> 01:24:47,641
component of it.

2486
01:24:49,145 --> 01:24:49,512
Utilizing some very strong, well

2487
01:24:49,512 --> 01:24:51,512
invested pools.

2488
01:24:52,582 --> 01:24:55,582
Such as local agency investment

2489
01:24:56,190 --> 01:24:56,619
fund, the state treasurer's pool

2490
01:24:56,619 --> 01:24:58,221
as well as local government

2491
01:24:58,221 --> 01:25:00,190
investment pools available as

2492
01:25:00,190 --> 01:25:02,859
well as funds in the bank and

2493
01:25:02,859 --> 01:25:05,228
money market mutual funds.

2494
01:25:05,228 --> 01:25:07,228
It is sophisticated.

2495
01:25:07,731 --> 01:25:07,964
The portfolio is actively

2496
01:25:07,964 --> 01:25:08,799
managed.

2497
01:25:08,799 --> 01:25:10,767
Unlike the stock market, the

2498
01:25:10,767 --> 01:25:11,668
bond markets you can generate

2499
01:25:11,668 --> 01:25:14,668
more revenue when you actively

2500
01:25:16,139 --> 01:25:18,139
manage.

2501
01:25:21,144 --> 01:25:22,146
That is scientifically proven.

2502
01:25:22,146 --> 01:25:24,146
Washington collaborated with

2503
01:25:24,414 --> 01:25:26,814
staff on multiple levels,

2504
01:25:29,219 --> 01:25:31,921
governance of the portfolio, on

2505
01:25:31,921 --> 01:25:33,323
making sure this is optimized

2506
01:25:33,323 --> 01:25:34,792
and making sure we stay on top

2507
01:25:34,792 --> 01:25:35,426
of the changes to california

2508
01:25:35,426 --> 01:25:38,426
government code which come every

2509
01:25:42,165 --> 01:25:43,534
year.

2510
01:25:43,534 --> 01:25:45,201
Make sure your investment policy

2511
01:25:45,201 --> 01:25:46,937
is up to date.

2512
01:25:46,937 --> 01:25:48,439
That change restricts aspect of

2513
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:49,730
your investments for a reason or

2514
01:25:49,730 --> 01:25:52,730
it expands it for another

2515
01:25:52,743 --> 01:25:54,110
reason.

2516
01:25:54,110 --> 01:25:55,713
Consulting with staff, making

2517
01:25:55,713 --> 01:25:57,280
sure that those provisions that

2518
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,280
change the appropriate ones are

2519
01:26:09,193 --> 01:26:11,829
added to the investment policy.

2520
01:26:11,829 --> 01:26:13,897
With we were engaged the

2521
01:26:13,897 --> 01:26:15,433
portfolio that we inherited, the

2522
01:26:15,433 --> 01:26:17,200
staff here gradually gave us

2523
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:17,835
some funds, the finance director

2524
01:26:17,835 --> 01:26:19,360
at the time moved on to another

2525
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,360
position.

2526
01:26:21,172 --> 01:26:23,572
And the portfolio, the

2527
01:26:24,341 --> 01:26:26,741
internally managed portfolio was

2528
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:28,546
unmanaged and giving a small

2529
01:26:28,546 --> 01:26:31,546
portion of cash to manage.

2530
01:26:31,649 --> 01:26:34,510
We collaborated to bring in and

2531
01:26:34,510 --> 01:26:36,554
unify those two portfolios to

2532
01:26:36,554 --> 01:26:37,688
have a unified strategy going

2533
01:26:37,688 --> 01:26:40,657
forward so that you cough

2534
01:26:40,657 --> 01:26:42,657
maximum diversification.

2535
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:43,528
The portfolio was well

2536
01:26:43,528 --> 01:26:45,997
diversified but it was not very

2537
01:26:45,997 --> 01:26:47,532
liquid.

2538
01:26:47,532 --> 01:26:48,533
It did hold several types of

2539
01:26:48,533 --> 01:26:51,533
securities that did not have

2540
01:26:53,170 --> 01:26:53,838
robust secondary markets.

2541
01:26:53,838 --> 01:26:55,306
Liquidity is an important

2542
01:26:55,306 --> 01:26:57,306
objective.

2543
01:26:57,876 --> 01:26:59,844
We collaborated with staff to

2544
01:26:59,844 --> 01:27:01,120
reallocate those funds to make

2545
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:02,814
sure that we had liquid

2546
01:27:02,814 --> 01:27:04,349
investments in there so that in

2547
01:27:04,349 --> 01:27:06,384
a pinch, emergency, we can turn

2548
01:27:06,384 --> 01:27:08,190
around and sell them.

2549
01:27:08,190 --> 01:27:10,788
there would be a counter party.

2550
01:27:10,788 --> 01:27:13,788
The third thing we've worked

2551
01:27:18,196 --> 01:27:20,432
with, all continuous, we view

2552
01:27:20,432 --> 01:27:21,499
how the city is using its cash

2553
01:27:21,499 --> 01:27:25,990
and the amount of funds that

2554
01:27:31,420 --> 01:27:31,777
should be kept liquid.

2555
01:27:31,777 --> 01:27:33,211
Whether you have too much liquid

2556
01:27:33,211 --> 01:27:35,213
you leave money on the table in

2557
01:27:35,213 --> 01:27:35,814
the form of revenue.

2558
01:27:35,814 --> 01:27:39,414
We want to rin mize minimize

2559
01:27:40,151 --> 01:27:42,151
that.

2560
01:27:42,554 --> 01:27:46,754
We analyze it and run models to

2561
01:28:00,472 --> 01:28:02,674
see what that should look like.

2562
01:28:02,674 --> 01:28:05,177
This is what we inherited.

2563
01:28:05,177 --> 01:28:06,512
It started with about $50

2564
01:28:06,512 --> 01:28:08,512
million of cash.

2565
01:28:08,613 --> 01:28:10,983
If you look at the market yield,

2566
01:28:10,983 --> 01:28:13,419
it is the third row from the

2567
01:28:13,419 --> 01:28:14,453
bottom, 0.03.

2568
01:28:14,453 --> 01:28:16,155
That is the yield that

2569
01:28:16,155 --> 01:28:19,155
investments were paying you in

2570
01:28:19,191 --> 01:28:21,126
DECEMBER of 2020.

2571
01:28:21,126 --> 01:28:22,928
If you recall in MARCH of 2020

2572
01:28:22,928 --> 01:28:24,430
the world fell apart because of

2573
01:28:24,430 --> 01:28:26,799
the pandemic, one of the things

2574
01:28:26,799 --> 01:28:28,700
that the federal reserve did is

2575
01:28:28,700 --> 01:28:31,100
lowered the overnight end

2576
01:28:31,136 --> 01:28:31,337
lending rate between banks to

2577
01:28:31,337 --> 01:28:33,337
zero.

2578
01:28:33,372 --> 01:28:35,107
It drove all yields for all

2579
01:28:35,107 --> 01:28:36,842
fixed income to almost zero.

2580
01:28:36,842 --> 01:28:39,842
You could earn 0.03% on your

2581
01:28:40,146 --> 01:28:42,146
money.

2582
01:28:48,654 --> 01:28:50,255
Very difficult.

2583
01:28:50,255 --> 01:28:52,655
Our collaboration has captured

2584
01:28:52,792 --> 01:28:54,560
the highest yields available in

2585
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,195
a safe and prudent manner.

2586
01:28:56,195 --> 01:28:59,195
You see it averaged about 2.5

2587
01:29:01,968 --> 01:29:03,968
years in duration.

2588
01:29:04,270 --> 01:29:07,270
The strategy is to stay

2589
01:29:11,477 --> 01:29:13,477
somewhere around 2 1/2 years.

2590
01:29:14,947 --> 01:29:16,115
We are set to earn around 4.25%

2591
01:29:16,115 --> 01:29:20,315
per year into the future the way

2592
01:29:26,626 --> 01:29:29,260
this portfolio is established.

2593
01:29:29,228 --> 01:29:30,597
When we have a maturity or

2594
01:29:30,597 --> 01:29:32,980
receive new cash from staff

2595
01:29:32,980 --> 01:29:33,599
that, gets invested as of JUNE

2596
01:29:33,599 --> 01:29:35,599
30 at 4.3.

2597
01:29:35,902 --> 01:29:36,536
That number is closer to 4.4

2598
01:29:36,536 --> 01:29:39,536
today yields have risen since

2599
01:29:41,573 --> 01:29:43,476
that time.

2600
01:29:43,476 --> 01:29:45,578
This component of your program,

2601
01:29:45,578 --> 01:29:48,181
this is about two-thirds of it.

2602
01:29:48,181 --> 01:29:51,181
This component is valued at

2603
01:29:53,286 --> 01:29:55,286
around $434 million.

2604
01:29:56,890 --> 01:29:57,257
It was mostly cash in 2020, now

2605
01:29:57,257 --> 01:29:58,658
you have a good diversification

2606
01:29:58,658 --> 01:29:59,959
on the left-hand side is what it

2607
01:29:59,959 --> 01:30:04,759
looks like as of JUNE end of the

2608
01:30:08,201 --> 01:30:09,636
fiscal year.

2609
01:30:09,636 --> 01:30:10,237
Half bonds from the U.S.

2610
01:30:10,237 --> 01:30:11,404
Treasury, the most liquid and

2611
01:30:11,404 --> 01:30:13,373
safest.

2612
01:30:13,373 --> 01:30:16,973
That is the backbone of your

2613
01:30:31,658 --> 01:30:32,593
liquidity.

2614
01:30:32,593 --> 01:30:35,262
We buy very high credit quality

2615
01:30:35,262 --> 01:30:37,262
corporate bonds.

2616
01:30:38,364 --> 01:30:40,133
Corporate bonds have done well

2617
01:30:40,133 --> 01:30:43,133
since after the pandemic given

2618
01:30:44,370 --> 01:30:47,941
the amount of stick you a will

2619
01:30:47,941 --> 01:30:49,208
associated cares act, $5.5

2620
01:30:49,208 --> 01:30:51,608
trillion of physical policy

2621
01:31:04,691 --> 01:31:07,270
given out by the government.

2622
01:31:07,270 --> 01:31:08,295
A lot of the tech companies are

2623
01:31:08,295 --> 01:31:09,463
involved in issuing record

2624
01:31:09,463 --> 01:31:13,166
amounts of debt to be able to

2625
01:31:13,166 --> 01:31:15,235
build these things out.

2626
01:31:15,235 --> 01:31:16,837
Now we're shifting on watch to

2627
01:31:16,837 --> 01:31:18,872
see how much of high credit

2628
01:31:18,872 --> 01:31:21,175
quality corporate bonds we buy.

2629
01:31:21,175 --> 01:31:24,175
We're noticing the trend in

2630
01:31:28,148 --> 01:31:29,717
credit issuance.

2631
01:31:29,717 --> 01:31:33,154
When I look at the returns for

2632
01:31:33,154 --> 01:31:35,723
the last 12 months, so your last

2633
01:31:35,723 --> 01:31:36,857
fiscal year your return was

2634
01:31:36,857 --> 01:31:38,792
3.09.

2635
01:31:38,792 --> 01:31:41,162
This is a total return.

2636
01:31:41,162 --> 01:31:42,797
You make money two ways,

2637
01:31:42,797 --> 01:31:45,990
interest income and fair value.

2638
01:31:45,990 --> 01:31:45,600
Over the past year you had

2639
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:46,267
strong interest income.

2640
01:31:46,267 --> 01:31:49,867
You were set to earn 4.2 into

2641
01:31:50,871 --> 01:31:52,871
the future.

2642
01:31:53,674 --> 01:31:54,808
Because rates rose, in the bond

2643
01:31:54,808 --> 01:31:57,780
market, it works out, when rates

2644
01:31:57,780 --> 01:31:59,313
rise the value of your holdings

2645
01:31:59,313 --> 01:32:01,149
goes down, inverse relationship.

2646
01:32:01,149 --> 01:32:02,483
I can get into the math if you

2647
01:32:02,483 --> 01:32:03,818
like.

2648
01:32:03,818 --> 01:32:05,653
You had strong interest income

2649
01:32:05,653 --> 01:32:07,622
but a little bit of a drag on

2650
01:32:07,622 --> 01:32:09,157
the return from the fair value

2651
01:32:09,157 --> 01:32:11,250
of the portfolio.

2652
01:32:11,250 --> 01:32:13,161
Change in have on paper.

2653
01:32:13,161 --> 01:32:13,494
That 309 captures that number

2654
01:32:13,494 --> 01:32:14,162
right there.

2655
01:32:14,162 --> 01:32:16,129
This is a strong return for the

2656
01:32:16,129 --> 01:32:18,129
year.

2657
01:32:19,601 --> 01:32:23,201
Look at the benchmark, a similar

2658
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:25,740
market risk, measuring the risk

2659
01:32:25,740 --> 01:32:28,676
you took on, you can see you

2660
01:32:28,676 --> 01:32:31,379
were well above it, that return

2661
01:32:31,379 --> 01:32:33,379
was 2.82.

2662
01:32:34,248 --> 01:32:36,784
The two years prior was 7.4

2663
01:32:36,784 --> 01:32:38,119
annualized average, taking

2664
01:32:38,119 --> 01:32:40,455
compounding into effect versus

2665
01:32:40,455 --> 01:32:42,455
4.49 of the benchmark.

2666
01:32:44,559 --> 01:32:44,759
Last three years, 4.76 versus

2667
01:32:44,759 --> 01:32:46,759
4.444.

2668
01:32:47,429 --> 01:32:49,330
The five-year number, again

2669
01:32:49,330 --> 01:32:51,466
these are the annual average,

2670
01:32:51,466 --> 01:32:52,133
they're smaller.

2671
01:32:52,133 --> 01:32:54,768
These encompass years when rates

2672
01:32:54,768 --> 01:32:56,471
were almost zero.

2673
01:32:56,471 --> 01:32:59,942
You have climbed out of a big

2674
01:32:59,942 --> 01:33:00,342
zero rate hole to generate

2675
01:33:00,342 --> 01:33:02,342
robust income.

2676
01:33:04,146 --> 01:33:04,680
I mentioned that is the

2677
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:04,857
component that is managed.

2678
01:33:04,857 --> 01:33:05,414
--

2679
01:33:05,414 --> 01:33:07,414
>> quick question.

2680
01:33:08,830 --> 01:33:08,583
>> I think online our vice mayor

2681
01:33:08,583 --> 01:33:09,160
has a question for you.

2682
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:10,419
>> yes, vice mayor.

2683
01:33:10,419 --> 01:33:12,419
>> thank you.

2684
01:33:13,154 --> 01:33:14,389
I appreciate all of this

2685
01:33:14,389 --> 01:33:16,389
information.

2686
01:33:16,892 --> 01:33:19,892
Just curious, we mentioned --

2687
01:33:21,163 --> 01:33:21,530
you mention U.S. Treasuries and

2688
01:33:21,530 --> 01:33:23,464
the bond yields.

2689
01:33:23,464 --> 01:33:25,464
Recently, secretary businessen

2690
01:33:27,350 --> 01:33:27,403
made some movements and caused

2691
01:33:27,403 --> 01:33:29,403
yields to drop.

2692
01:33:29,404 --> 01:33:31,974
How exposed are we to those

2693
01:33:31,974 --> 01:33:33,974
actions?

2694
01:33:34,143 --> 01:33:36,100
Guy the federal government.

2695
01:33:36,100 --> 01:33:37,946
Or are we invested -- are you

2696
01:33:37,946 --> 01:33:40,648
managing it in such a way that

2697
01:33:40,648 --> 01:33:42,318
the volatility is minimized?

2698
01:33:42,318 --> 01:33:43,485
>> we are definitely managing it

2699
01:33:43,485 --> 01:33:46,154
in such a way that the

2700
01:33:46,154 --> 01:33:48,154
volatility is minimized.

2701
01:33:49,792 --> 01:33:51,460
About half of the managed

2702
01:33:51,460 --> 01:33:53,162
portfolio, component that we

2703
01:33:53,162 --> 01:33:54,830
manage, about half is in

2704
01:33:54,830 --> 01:33:57,165
treasuries of the movement that

2705
01:33:57,165 --> 01:33:59,101
you describe is that right now

2706
01:33:59,101 --> 01:34:00,268
we're seeing upward pressure on

2707
01:34:00,268 --> 01:34:02,571
longer term rates, much, much

2708
01:34:02,571 --> 01:34:03,639
longer from where you invest.

2709
01:34:03,639 --> 01:34:04,373
California government code

2710
01:34:04,373 --> 01:34:06,375
generally limits you to around

2711
01:34:06,375 --> 01:34:08,375
five years.

2712
01:34:08,678 --> 01:34:09,440
In some instances you go

2713
01:34:09,440 --> 01:34:10,513
slightly longer.

2714
01:34:10,513 --> 01:34:12,982
You generally don't buy out to

2715
01:34:12,982 --> 01:34:13,983
the 10-year range and beyond.

2716
01:34:13,983 --> 01:34:15,718
The action that you are

2717
01:34:15,718 --> 01:34:17,820
describing is the treasury

2718
01:34:17,820 --> 01:34:18,486
announced that they would be

2719
01:34:18,486 --> 01:34:20,456
buying longer term bonds, 10

2720
01:34:20,456 --> 01:34:22,456
years or longer.

2721
01:34:22,891 --> 01:34:24,460
What that does is would create

2722
01:34:24,460 --> 01:34:25,610
artificial demand for the

2723
01:34:25,610 --> 01:34:27,263
securities, drive their price

2724
01:34:27,263 --> 01:34:27,864
higher.

2725
01:34:27,864 --> 01:34:29,165
And in turn push their yields

2726
01:34:29,165 --> 01:34:29,899
lower.

2727
01:34:29,899 --> 01:34:31,200
They feel that the yields are

2728
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,200
high.

2729
01:34:33,769 --> 01:34:34,504
No, you weren't exposed to that.

2730
01:34:34,504 --> 01:34:36,305
Yields on the balance are higher

2731
01:34:36,305 --> 01:34:37,740
today.

2732
01:34:37,740 --> 01:34:38,974
And what that has done is

2733
01:34:38,974 --> 01:34:40,809
devalued slightly.

2734
01:34:40,809 --> 01:34:41,844
This is what I was saying.

2735
01:34:41,844 --> 01:34:44,714
Yields are higher, the values

2736
01:34:44,714 --> 01:34:45,714
dropped a little bit.

2737
01:34:45,714 --> 01:34:49,152
It has set you up for when we

2738
01:34:49,152 --> 01:34:50,720
reinvest.

2739
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,155
We reinvest in higher yields.

2740
01:34:53,155 --> 01:34:54,757
If you think about it as a

2741
01:34:54,757 --> 01:34:56,626
policymaker those components of

2742
01:34:56,626 --> 01:34:59,260
your return, valuation of

2743
01:34:59,128 --> 01:35:01,331
assets, the value of the assets

2744
01:35:01,331 --> 01:35:03,990
trying to increase, or protect,

2745
01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:05,935
and the interest income, both of

2746
01:35:05,935 --> 01:35:07,270
those components flow into your

2747
01:35:07,270 --> 01:35:09,206
financial statements, into your

2748
01:35:09,206 --> 01:35:10,840
yar end statements.

2749
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:11,740
only one of them flows into the

2750
01:35:11,740 --> 01:35:13,740
budget.

2751
01:35:13,176 --> 01:35:13,709
The budget is what you use to

2752
01:35:13,709 --> 01:35:14,310
pay for services.

2753
01:35:14,310 --> 01:35:17,180
Very important part of your

2754
01:35:17,180 --> 01:35:19,180
component.

2755
01:35:19,548 --> 01:35:23,748
That is on the rise, you should

2756
01:35:31,595 --> 01:35:31,962
see it go higher.

2757
01:35:31,962 --> 01:35:33,864
>> thank you.

2758
01:35:33,864 --> 01:35:35,565
>> if you look at the

2759
01:35:35,565 --> 01:35:37,330
consolidated portfolio, this

2760
01:35:37,330 --> 01:35:38,802
encompasses the portfolio that I

2761
01:35:38,802 --> 01:35:41,137
showed you plus the component

2762
01:35:41,137 --> 01:35:44,137
that staff manages through the

2763
01:35:44,775 --> 01:35:47,775
use of very efficient investment

2764
01:35:49,179 --> 01:35:51,179
fools pools.

2765
01:35:51,548 --> 01:35:52,716
When you look at the totality of

2766
01:35:52,716 --> 01:35:55,116
your investment program that

2767
01:35:55,752 --> 01:35:55,986
portfolio is valued at $735

2768
01:35:55,986 --> 01:35:57,787
million.

2769
01:35:57,787 --> 01:35:59,880
If I average out the yields on

2770
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:00,691
those shorter investments

2771
01:36:00,691 --> 01:36:02,292
they're lower than the main for

2772
01:36:02,292 --> 01:36:02,759
the foalo generates.

2773
01:36:02,759 --> 01:36:05,159
That's the nature of

2774
01:36:05,228 --> 01:36:07,640
investments.

2775
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:09,366
You're generating almost 4% per

2776
01:36:09,366 --> 01:36:11,680
year when you factor in the

2777
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:13,680
liquid, lower yielding

2778
01:36:13,169 --> 01:36:13,871
investments held for liquidity.

2779
01:36:13,871 --> 01:36:14,972
We try to minimize what's in

2780
01:36:14,972 --> 01:36:16,640
there.

2781
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:18,842
That's an opportunity cost.

2782
01:36:18,842 --> 01:36:22,146
If you hold too much liquid.

2783
01:36:22,146 --> 01:36:23,470
You're reinvesting around a

2784
01:36:23,470 --> 01:36:25,470
4.02, high credit at.

2785
01:36:26,350 --> 01:36:26,617
You look kind of like a 1.5 year

2786
01:36:26,617 --> 01:36:28,617
portfolio.

2787
01:36:32,590 --> 01:36:33,324
When I look at the makeup,

2788
01:36:33,324 --> 01:36:36,924
treasuries make up about a third

2789
01:36:38,620 --> 01:36:40,620
of the portfolio.

2790
01:36:40,631 --> 01:36:44,680
Lgip, the city utilized a couple

2791
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:46,136
of local government investment

2792
01:36:46,136 --> 01:36:47,271
pools sponsored by joint power

2793
01:36:47,271 --> 01:36:49,206
authorities, aaa rated, very

2794
01:36:49,206 --> 01:36:51,606
well managed and liquid.

2795
01:36:52,143 --> 01:36:54,543
Corporate bonds followed by

2796
01:37:04,870 --> 01:37:04,755
cash.

2797
01:37:04,755 --> 01:37:05,723
Followed by local agency

2798
01:37:05,723 --> 01:37:07,592
investment fund, that's the

2799
01:37:07,592 --> 01:37:09,592
state's pool.

2800
01:37:09,693 --> 01:37:12,430
The nice thing in addition to it

2801
01:37:12,430 --> 01:37:15,660
being well managed, the state

2802
01:37:15,660 --> 01:37:16,467
treasury does a fantastic job,

2803
01:37:16,467 --> 01:37:19,136
not only that but that pool

2804
01:37:19,136 --> 01:37:21,705
tends to, even though it

2805
01:37:21,705 --> 01:37:23,574
provides daily liquidity, people

2806
01:37:23,574 --> 01:37:26,410
can take money in and out on a

2807
01:37:26,410 --> 01:37:28,146
dollar in, dollar out basis.

2808
01:37:28,146 --> 01:37:30,140
The average maturity is slightly

2809
01:37:30,140 --> 01:37:32,140
longer.

2810
01:37:33,151 --> 01:37:34,152
In this current environment that

2811
01:37:34,152 --> 01:37:36,552
provides a yield advantage.

2812
01:37:36,621 --> 01:37:36,854
The city staff wisely utilized

2813
01:37:36,854 --> 01:37:38,854
that.

2814
01:37:39,924 --> 01:37:40,225
The you can see it's well

2815
01:37:40,225 --> 01:37:42,225
diversified.

2816
01:37:43,127 --> 01:37:43,527
We don't like to hold our eggs

2817
01:37:43,527 --> 01:37:45,363
in one basket.

2818
01:37:45,363 --> 01:37:46,130
We provide the accounting, able

2819
01:37:46,130 --> 01:37:47,999
to book their earnings

2820
01:37:47,999 --> 01:37:49,701
efficiently every month end.

2821
01:37:49,701 --> 01:37:53,400
They see all of the holdings on

2822
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:54,973
a 24/7 basis, we track these and

2823
01:37:54,973 --> 01:37:56,241
report on them daly.

2824
01:37:56,241 --> 01:37:58,677
They track all of this.

2825
01:37:58,677 --> 01:38:00,145
And they consult with us.

2826
01:38:00,145 --> 01:38:02,147
We meet with staff quarterly to

2827
01:38:02,147 --> 01:38:05,830
make sure that the objectives

2828
01:38:05,830 --> 01:38:05,650
are on track, that risk is being

2829
01:38:05,650 --> 01:38:08,650
managed, and that return is

2830
01:38:12,724 --> 01:38:14,724
being generated.

2831
01:38:15,961 --> 01:38:17,729
The term structure, this is the

2832
01:38:17,729 --> 01:38:20,365
breakout, the green is JUNE 30

2833
01:38:20,365 --> 01:38:21,666
versus the prior year.

2834
01:38:21,666 --> 01:38:22,300
You can see, you ever held a

2835
01:38:22,300 --> 01:38:25,370
little bit of cash towards year

2836
01:38:25,370 --> 01:38:27,370
end.

2837
01:38:27,806 --> 01:38:28,807
Again like I said, we work with

2838
01:38:28,807 --> 01:38:30,776
staff to minimize that as much

2839
01:38:30,776 --> 01:38:33,278
as possible and get it spread

2840
01:38:33,278 --> 01:38:36,147
out so that we are diversified

2841
01:38:36,147 --> 01:38:40,319
on an iner with basis and sector

2842
01:38:40,319 --> 01:38:41,860
basis as well as maturity basis.

2843
01:38:41,860 --> 01:38:43,789
Diversification is the name of

2844
01:38:43,789 --> 01:38:45,123
the game and risk management.

2845
01:38:45,123 --> 01:38:47,726
You carry superior credits and

2846
01:38:47,726 --> 01:38:49,270
because it is safety and

2847
01:38:49,270 --> 01:38:50,228
liquidity we like to say you win

2848
01:38:50,228 --> 01:38:52,228
by not losing.

2849
01:38:52,865 --> 01:38:55,865
you win by not losing.

2850
01:38:55,867 --> 01:38:57,937
We don't take undueryix in the

2851
01:38:57,937 --> 01:38:59,105
portfolio, safety first f this

2852
01:38:59,105 --> 01:39:00,506
were a baseball game we're

2853
01:39:00,506 --> 01:39:02,808
hitting a lot of singles and

2854
01:39:02,808 --> 01:39:03,709
doubles f we're hitting a lot of

2855
01:39:03,709 --> 01:39:06,120
triples and home runs we're

2856
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:07,470
taking too much risk.

2857
01:39:07,470 --> 01:39:09,470
Which is in violation of the

2858
01:39:09,470 --> 01:39:11,470
first objective.

2859
01:39:11,517 --> 01:39:14,819
With that, what I'd like to say

2860
01:39:14,819 --> 01:39:15,921
is that we have enjoyed a very

2861
01:39:15,921 --> 01:39:18,257
strong relationship with staff

2862
01:39:18,257 --> 01:39:19,558
over a few administrations,

2863
01:39:19,558 --> 01:39:21,260
couple of people that have

2864
01:39:21,260 --> 01:39:23,260
rolled through here.

2865
01:39:26,899 --> 01:39:29,602
All of them are well respected.

2866
01:39:29,602 --> 01:39:30,937
Strong investment program.

2867
01:39:30,937 --> 01:39:33,937
Very well diversified, proud of

2868
01:39:34,307 --> 01:39:36,307
the collaboration.

2869
01:39:36,509 --> 01:39:37,109
We look forward to the portfolio

2870
01:39:37,109 --> 01:39:38,711
generating objectives for you

2871
01:39:38,711 --> 01:39:40,379
into the future.

2872
01:39:40,379 --> 01:39:43,979
I'll stop and take any questions

2873
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:44,817
that you MAY have.

2874
01:39:44,817 --> 01:39:45,384
>> all right, thank you.

2875
01:39:45,384 --> 01:39:48,984
I'm going to open up public

2876
01:39:49,154 --> 01:39:50,623

2877
01:39:50,623 --> 01:39:51,557
We'll start with in person.

2878
01:39:51,557 --> 01:39:53,993
I do not have anyone signed up

2879
01:39:53,993 --> 01:39:55,962

2880
01:39:55,962 --> 01:39:57,962
Anybody online?

2881
01:39:58,297 --> 01:40:00,990
>> and in our webinar

2882
01:40:00,990 --> 01:40:01,500
environment we have attendees, I

2883
01:40:01,500 --> 01:40:02,934
do not see the raise hand

2884
01:40:02,934 --> 01:40:05,104
function, we do not have any

2885
01:40:05,104 --> 01:40:05,638
folks signed up for 9.1.

2886
01:40:05,638 --> 01:40:06,171
>> I'll close the public

2887
01:40:06,171 --> 01:40:08,171
comment.

2888
01:40:08,441 --> 01:40:10,441
Questions, comments?

2889
01:40:10,677 --> 01:40:12,677
Councilmember spease?

2890
01:40:13,646 --> 01:40:15,646
>> okay.

2891
01:40:16,483 --> 01:40:18,684
First, thank you for this, it

2892
01:40:18,684 --> 01:40:21,154
stopped me from doing a lot of

2893
01:40:21,154 --> 01:40:22,155
coughing up here, thanks for the

2894
01:40:22,155 --> 01:40:24,155
riccola.

2895
01:40:24,857 --> 01:40:27,857
Thank you for the gift.

2896
01:40:28,795 --> 01:40:31,564
Second, I wanted to first of all

2897
01:40:31,564 --> 01:40:32,665
thank you, particularly in the

2898
01:40:32,665 --> 01:40:35,650
noting the diversification of

2899
01:40:38,771 --> 01:40:40,771
the portfolio.

2900
01:40:44,644 --> 01:40:46,460
I am no expert in finance.

2901
01:40:46,460 --> 01:40:49,460
Trial trying to be conservative

2902
01:40:49,349 --> 01:40:51,985
and be a good steward of our

2903
01:40:51,985 --> 01:40:54,385
finances, diversification is a

2904
01:40:54,420 --> 01:40:54,854
hedge against being all in one

2905
01:40:54,854 --> 01:40:56,854
type of investment.

2906
01:40:56,890 --> 01:40:57,890
I appreciate that.

2907
01:40:57,890 --> 01:40:59,526
It is important that we have a

2908
01:40:59,526 --> 01:41:01,161
nice solid basis for our

2909
01:41:01,161 --> 01:41:03,161
investments.

2910
01:41:04,164 --> 01:41:05,766
I appreciate that.

2911
01:41:05,766 --> 01:41:07,533
And I appreciate you.

2912
01:41:07,533 --> 01:41:08,468
I appreciate the staff that is

2913
01:41:08,468 --> 01:41:10,468
working on this.

2914
01:41:11,104 --> 01:41:12,238
And working with you.

2915
01:41:12,238 --> 01:41:12,412

>> thank you.

2919
01:41:15,775 --> 01:41:17,144
Councilmember robles?

01:41:17,144 --> 01:41:19,144
>> thank you.

2921
01:41:20,613 --> 01:41:20,947
I want to say thank you for the

2922
01:41:20,947 --> 01:41:22,849
presentation.

2923
01:41:22,849 --> 01:41:24,151
For a lot of us who, even the

2924
01:41:24,151 --> 01:41:26,920
general public doesn't have the

2925
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:27,554
idea of what's going on, you

2926
01:41:27,554 --> 01:41:27,821
definitely, definitely presented

2927
01:41:27,821 --> 01:41:28,188
that well.

2928
01:41:28,188 --> 01:41:29,489
Appreciate that.

2929
01:41:29,489 --> 01:41:31,489
>> thank you.

2930
01:41:32,159 --> 01:41:34,159
>> councilmember brewer.

2931
01:41:34,161 --> 01:41:36,630
>> great job, carlos.

>> I want to thank you and raj

2934
01:41:41,168 --> 01:41:42,436
and the finance team for being

2935
01:41:42,436 --> 01:41:44,204
very responsible over this past

2936
01:41:44,204 --> 01:41:47,740
year and maintaining our aa plus

2937
01:41:47,740 --> 01:41:48,709
rating.

2938
01:41:48,709 --> 01:41:50,709
It is intricate.

2939
01:41:51,100 --> 01:41:53,613
And not a lot of people

2940
01:41:53,613 --> 01:41:56,130
understand the balancing act

2941
01:41:58,152 --> 01:41:58,986
that it has taken to keep a well

2942
01:41:58,986 --> 01:42:00,888
balanced portfolio when you

2943
01:42:00,888 --> 01:42:02,590
diversify.

2944
01:42:02,590 --> 01:42:05,590
Especially from where we came

2945
01:42:05,660 --> 01:42:08,930
from, from covid era, where you

2946
01:42:08,930 --> 01:42:12,990
had to focus on U.S. Treasury

2947
01:42:12,990 --> 01:42:12,599
bonds and money market accounts

2948
01:42:12,599 --> 01:42:13,233
to keep the ship going.

2949
01:42:13,233 --> 01:42:14,602
everything was pretty much shut

2950
01:42:14,602 --> 01:42:16,602
down.

2951
01:42:17,370 --> 01:42:20,141
Now that things are running and

2952
01:42:20,141 --> 01:42:22,877
running at a high clip, the

2953
01:42:22,877 --> 01:42:24,877
fiscal conservativeness in

2954
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,480
making sure that we stay within

2955
01:42:29,851 --> 01:42:33,187
the boundaries and being a smart

2956
01:42:33,187 --> 01:42:34,454
and skillful fiduciary steward

2957
01:42:34,454 --> 01:42:37,454
of the city's money, very

2958
01:42:38,260 --> 01:42:40,260
appreciative of that.

2959
01:42:40,161 --> 01:42:41,496
I sat over here and looked at

2960
01:42:41,496 --> 01:42:43,496
everything.

2961
01:42:45,399 --> 01:42:47,368
I was definitely geeking out

2962
01:42:47,368 --> 01:42:49,368
over it.

2963
01:42:49,904 --> 01:42:52,372
We have our meetings to make

2964
01:42:52,372 --> 01:42:54,308
sure that our budget is staying

2965
01:42:54,308 --> 01:42:56,708
responsive and responsible for

2966
01:42:57,145 --> 01:42:59,680
the public to our audits.

2967
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:00,949
When you go through and do the

2968
01:43:00,949 --> 01:43:03,949
investments for the city, that's

2969
01:43:04,586 --> 01:43:06,521
part of what we look at.

2970
01:43:06,521 --> 01:43:08,921
That keeps people feeling

2971
01:43:09,157 --> 01:43:11,557
confident and comfortable about

2972
01:43:12,270 --> 01:43:12,527
the city operating on behalf of

2973
01:43:12,527 --> 01:43:14,796
everyone doing it in a

2974
01:43:14,796 --> 01:43:16,164
responsible manner.

presentation, carlos.

2983
01:43:37,152 --> 01:43:37,686
Recognizing that we're only

2984
01:43:37,686 --> 01:43:40,686
trying to hit singles and

2985
01:43:42,256 --> 01:43:43,492
doubles.

2986
01:43:43,492 --> 01:43:45,193
Government finance versus our

2987
01:43:45,193 --> 01:43:47,593
own personal portfolio for

2988
01:43:55,871 --> 01:43:57,105

2997
01:44:17,426 --> 01:44:18,961

01:51:12,746 --> 01:51:12,978
sentiments, thank you for the

3215
01:51:12,978 --> 01:51:14,978
report.

3216
01:51:16,149 --> 01:51:17,550
I would like to highlight just

3217
01:51:17,550 --> 01:51:19,352
because it wasn't mentioned, but

3218
01:51:19,352 --> 01:51:22,856
I think it is important and

3219
01:51:22,856 --> 01:51:24,157
worthy of mentioning, the

3220
01:51:24,157 --> 01:51:24,957
whitelock interchange project,

3221
01:51:24,957 --> 01:51:26,426
the planning process is

3222
01:51:26,426 --> 01:51:28,426
continuing.

3223
01:51:28,795 --> 01:51:30,230
I know folks might be getting

3224
01:51:30,230 --> 01:51:31,631
frustrated with traffic over

3225
01:51:31,631 --> 01:51:33,166
there on elk grove boulevard,

3226
01:51:33,166 --> 01:51:35,335
we're definitely working as fast

3227
01:51:35,335 --> 01:51:36,870
as we can to get that done.

3228
01:51:36,870 --> 01:51:37,204
That's all, thank you.

3229
01:51:37,204 --> 01:51:39,204
>> thank you.

3230
01:51:39,339 --> 01:51:41,339
Councilmember spease, anything?

3231
01:51:41,941 --> 01:51:44,111
>> just quickly, I know there's

3232
01:51:44,111 --> 01:51:47,711
a lot of community interest in

3233
01:51:48,215 --> 01:51:49,182
the legacy library reuse.

3234
01:51:49,182 --> 01:51:50,417
That's exciting, glad to hear

3235
01:51:50,417 --> 01:51:52,186
that.

3236
01:51:52,186 --> 01:51:55,221
As well as looking forward to

3237
01:51:55,221 --> 01:51:56,256
the overpass happening, that's

3238
01:51:56,256 --> 01:51:56,757
going to be a very good benefit

3239
01:51:56,757 --> 01:51:58,926
for elk grove residents.

3240
01:51:58,926 --> 01:52:00,761
Thank you.

3241
01:52:00,761 --> 01:52:02,761

>> excellent presentation,

3246
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:10,137
always good to see where we're

3247

at, how things are moving along.

3248
01:52:15,376 --> 01:52:17,776
A lot to celebrate.

3249
01:52:18,913 --> 01:52:21,115
a lots of projects that will

3250
01:52:21,115 --> 01:52:21,449
ultimately benefit the residents

3251
01:52:21,449 --> 01:52:22,650
of elk grove.

3252
01:52:22,650 --> 01:52:25,650
Presentation, no action, we move

3253
01:52:25,686 --> 01:52:28,550
on to the next item.

3254
01:52:28,550 --> 01:52:30,424
>> that is item 9.3, receive a

3255
01:52:30,424 --> 01:52:31,826
presentation of the ig police

department's red light camera

3257
01:52:34,950 --> 01:52:36,495
traffic enforcement system and

3258
01:52:36,697 --> 01:52:38,566
consider a re ninth amendment to

3259
01:52:38,566 --> 01:52:40,100
the contract with the red flex

3260
01:52:40,100 --> 01:52:41,168
which includes the installation

3261
01:52:41,168 --> 01:52:44,768
of five new red light camera

3262
01:52:49,176 --> 01:52:50,878
systems.

3263
01:52:50,878 --> 01:52:52,878
Here we go.

3264
01:52:53,147 --> 01:52:55,149
>> mayor, vice mayor, council,

3265
01:52:55,149 --> 01:52:57,850
I'm bobbie davis, chief of

3266
01:52:57,850 --> 01:52:57,285
police for the city of elk

3267
01:52:57,285 --> 01:52:59,285
grove.

3268
01:53:01,722 --> 01:53:03,858
I along with lt. Reggie williams

3269
01:53:03,858 --> 01:53:05,393
am going to do a short

3270
01:53:05,393 --> 01:53:06,394
presentation on the traffic

3271
01:53:06,394 --> 01:53:08,960
safety and red light camera

3272
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:10,496
program that we use.

3273
01:53:11,432 --> 01:53:13,167
I want to cover some of the

3274
01:53:13,167 --> 01:53:16,167
traffic concerns that we have

3275
01:53:18,673 --> 01:53:20,673
had.

3276
01:53:21,409 --> 01:53:23,945
We've seen a rise in collisions.

3277
01:53:23,945 --> 01:53:27,882
I just kind of quick graph here,

3278
01:53:27,882 --> 01:53:29,584
in 2023 we had 984, in '24,

3279
01:53:29,584 --> 01:53:31,584
1125.

3280
01:53:32,753 --> 01:53:34,189
In '25, 1248.

3281
01:53:34,189 --> 01:53:36,858
This year we're already halfway

3282
01:53:36,858 --> 01:53:39,294
to where we were last year.

3283
01:53:39,294 --> 01:53:40,195
In addition to that, we see the

3284
01:53:40,195 --> 01:53:42,230
fatalities associated with the

3285
01:53:42,230 --> 01:53:44,230
collisions.

3286
01:53:44,733 --> 01:53:48,933
Five in '23, six in '24, and

3287
01:53:49,404 --> 01:53:49,738
nine in '25, we're at six this

3288
01:53:49,738 --> 01:53:50,938
year already.

3289
01:53:50,938 --> 01:53:51,573
Traffic is a concern, and

3290
01:53:51,573 --> 01:53:53,175
collisions are a large part of

3291
01:53:53,175 --> 01:53:54,576
that.

3292
01:53:54,576 --> 01:53:56,576
The collisions increased

3293
01:53:57,144 --> 01:53:58,146
approximately 14% from 2023 to

3294
01:53:58,146 --> 01:54:00,146
2024.

3295
01:54:01,149 --> 01:54:03,180
Another 11% from '24 to '25.

3296
01:54:03,180 --> 01:54:03,918
Our fatalities increased from 5

3297
01:54:03,918 --> 01:54:06,918
to 9 over the same three-year

3298
01:54:08,957 --> 01:54:10,957
period.

3299
01:54:12,327 --> 01:54:13,494
serious collision points, point

3300
01:54:13,494 --> 01:54:15,263
to specific driving behaviors,

3301
01:54:15,263 --> 01:54:15,863
they're working to change.

3302
01:54:15,863 --> 01:54:17,966
Speeding, it was significant

3303
01:54:17,966 --> 01:54:18,800
one.

3304
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:21,102
Unsafe lane changes, failure to

3305
01:54:21,102 --> 01:54:23,102
stop.

3306
01:54:23,638 --> 01:54:25,107
20 fatal collisions reported

3307
01:54:25,107 --> 01:54:27,420
2023 through 25, five involved

3308
01:54:27,420 --> 01:54:29,420
pedestrians.

3309
01:54:29,143 --> 01:54:30,578
The common fatality dui,

3310
01:54:30,578 --> 01:54:31,913
speeding, reckless driving and

3311
01:54:31,913 --> 01:54:33,913
failure to yield.

3312
01:54:34,783 --> 01:54:36,510
This reinforces the need for

3313
01:54:36,510 --> 01:54:37,152
officer-leaden forcement,

3314
01:54:37,152 --> 01:54:38,721
education and targeted

3315
01:54:38,721 --> 01:54:40,721
technology.

3316
01:54:41,857 --> 01:54:43,125
The enforcement objective is

3317
01:54:43,125 --> 01:54:44,893
increase in voluntarily

3318
01:54:44,893 --> 01:54:45,728
compliance with traffic laws,

3319
01:54:45,728 --> 01:54:47,496
that affect serious and fatal

3320
01:54:47,496 --> 01:54:48,863
collisions.

3321
01:54:48,863 --> 01:54:50,999
Trying to change the pattern of

3322
01:54:50,999 --> 01:54:52,200
behavior on the roadways.

3323
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:53,869
Doesn't matter what age they are

3324
01:54:53,869 --> 01:54:56,105
driving, we're trying to change

3325
01:54:56,105 --> 01:54:57,173
a pattern of behavior to change

3326
01:54:57,173 --> 01:54:58,807
the way that our streets are

3327
01:54:58,807 --> 01:55:00,807
viewed.

3328
01:55:01,177 --> 01:55:01,777
The risk is concentrated at

3329
01:55:01,777 --> 01:55:03,777
major corridors and

3330
01:55:03,979 --> 01:55:05,979
intersections.

3331
01:55:06,449 --> 01:55:08,449
Highest collision intersections,

3332
01:55:10,352 --> 01:55:12,752
laguna boulevard and bruceville,

3333
01:55:12,922 --> 01:55:15,291
calvine-elk grove florin road,

3334
01:55:15,291 --> 01:55:17,291
laguna, franklin boulevard,

3335
01:55:17,326 --> 01:55:19,326
bruceville road, whitelock

3336
01:55:20,462 --> 01:55:22,164
parkway and franklin boulevard.

3337
01:55:22,164 --> 01:55:24,233
Franklin,s elk grove florin and

3338
01:55:24,233 --> 01:55:25,868
bruceville highlighted in this.

3339
01:55:25,868 --> 01:55:27,868
And it continues.

3340
01:55:30,139 --> 01:55:33,142
We had a serious accident today

3341
01:55:33,142 --> 01:55:34,210
which blocked traffic even and

3342
01:55:34,210 --> 01:55:37,210
even on elk grove boulevard.

3343
01:55:37,547 --> 01:55:39,547
Significant impact unfortunately

3344
01:55:39,782 --> 01:55:40,160
another potential fatality there

3345
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:42,160
as well.

3346
01:55:42,518 --> 01:55:43,719
Elk grove pd is responding to,

3347
01:55:43,719 --> 01:55:45,210
with a broader traffic safety

3348
01:55:45,210 --> 01:55:46,822
strategy.

3349
01:55:46,822 --> 01:55:49,158
the strategy where cars more

3350
01:55:49,158 --> 01:55:50,760
than one enforcement tool.

3351
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:52,161
Targeted enforcement, deploy

3352
01:55:52,161 --> 01:55:53,596
officers to high collision areas

3353
01:55:53,596 --> 01:55:55,664
and at certain times.

3354
01:55:55,664 --> 01:55:57,166
This is when people call us and

3355
01:55:57,166 --> 01:55:58,234
tell us they're seeing and

3356
01:55:58,234 --> 01:55:58,935
experiencing things on the

3357
01:55:58,935 --> 01:56:00,670
roadway near their homes, around

3358
01:56:00,670 --> 01:56:02,670
their homes.

3359
01:56:03,439 --> 01:56:04,206
We're able to create an

3360
01:56:04,206 --> 01:56:05,442
operational plan like

3361
01:56:05,442 --> 01:56:07,442
intelligence led policing

3362
01:56:07,777 --> 01:56:08,611
project to do enforcement at

3363
01:56:08,611 --> 01:56:10,814
those times that folks see it or

3364
01:56:10,814 --> 01:56:12,814
hear it.

3365
01:56:12,981 --> 01:56:15,981
Our traffic unit in addition,

3366
01:56:16,152 --> 01:56:16,486
2026, our staffing increased to

3367
01:56:16,486 --> 01:56:18,486
14 positions.

3368
01:56:19,923 --> 01:56:21,658
And then school safety, we

3369
01:56:21,658 --> 01:56:23,393
focused during dismissal and

3370
01:56:23,393 --> 01:56:23,960
partner and parking around the

3371
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:24,961
schools in the neighborhood

3372
01:56:24,961 --> 01:56:26,961
schools.

3373
01:56:27,463 --> 01:56:28,798
This is an example, beginning of

3374
01:56:28,798 --> 01:56:32,335
school for the first four days

3375
01:56:32,335 --> 01:56:33,537
we had officers at every single

3376
01:56:33,537 --> 01:56:34,904
school, elementary to high

3377
01:56:34,904 --> 01:56:36,673
school and very proud of that,

3378
01:56:36,673 --> 01:56:38,808
takes a lot of work to do that.

3379
01:56:38,808 --> 01:56:39,242
But that was our commitment and

3380
01:56:39,242 --> 01:56:41,311
continuing to do so.

3381
01:56:41,311 --> 01:56:42,745
In addition to that, we're going

3382
01:56:42,745 --> 01:56:45,148
to have when schools come back

3383
01:56:45,148 --> 01:56:46,283
on track, those ones offtrack,

3384
01:56:46,283 --> 01:56:48,351
we'll do the same thing

3385
01:56:48,351 --> 01:56:49,985
throughout the year as well.

3386
01:56:49,985 --> 01:56:51,688
We'll try to maintain a

3387
01:56:51,688 --> 01:56:53,220
significant presence during the

3388
01:56:53,220 --> 01:56:54,924
school year so that we can

3389
01:56:54,924 --> 01:56:57,270
mitigate some of the complaints.

3390
01:56:57,270 --> 01:56:58,228
But more importantly we can

3391
01:56:58,228 --> 01:56:58,415
enforce traffic laws and ensure

3392
01:56:58,415 --> 01:57:00,415
-

3393
01:57:00,430 --> 01:57:01,598
that our kids are coming and

3394
01:57:01,598 --> 01:57:03,767
going to school safely to the

3395
01:57:03,767 --> 01:57:06,167
best of our ability.

3396
01:57:06,470 --> 01:57:08,105
Data analysis, we use collision

3397
01:57:08,105 --> 01:57:09,840
and enforcement analysis to

3398
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:10,640
refine the deployment.

3399
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:13,640
something we do with technology

3400
01:57:17,981 --> 01:57:18,549
and data.

3401
01:57:18,549 --> 01:57:19,616
Red light cameras are one

3402
01:57:19,616 --> 01:57:20,684
component.

3403
01:57:20,684 --> 01:57:21,718
They are not a replacement for

3404
01:57:21,718 --> 01:57:22,553
officers.

3405
01:57:22,553 --> 01:57:24,540
I think that's extremely

3406
01:57:24,540 --> 01:57:25,220
important.

3407
01:57:25,220 --> 01:57:26,890
The red light cameras are a

3408
01:57:26,890 --> 01:57:28,890
doom.

3409
01:57:28,592 --> 01:57:30,761
Some of the data gathering that

3410
01:57:30,761 --> 01:57:32,162
we do, they're a tool.

3411
01:57:32,162 --> 01:57:34,162
Traffic enforcement and

3412
01:57:34,731 --> 01:57:36,731
collision activity, JANUARY 1

3413
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:39,637
through JULY 31, we're going to

3414
01:57:39,637 --> 01:57:42,370
do a six-month comparison.

3415
01:57:42,740 --> 01:57:44,740
There 2024 we had 5,020

3416
01:57:45,142 --> 01:57:45,509
citations in the six-month

3417
01:57:45,509 --> 01:57:47,509
window.

3418
01:57:48,245 --> 01:57:50,245
2025, we had 5,300.

3419
01:57:53,150 --> 01:57:54,852
This year we have 9,436 in that

3420
01:57:54,852 --> 01:57:56,186
same timeline.

3421
01:57:56,186 --> 01:57:57,620
En with that our numbers are

3422
01:57:57,620 --> 01:57:59,123
still continuing to climb.

3423
01:57:59,123 --> 01:58:00,925
I think the important piece of

3424
01:58:00,925 --> 01:58:03,794
this is that we're actually able

3425
01:58:03,794 --> 01:58:06,300
to go out, do more enforcement,

3426
01:58:06,300 --> 01:58:06,931
do more education, and have an

3427
01:58:06,931 --> 01:58:09,000
opportunity to try to change

3428
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:10,668
patterns of behavior.

3429
01:58:10,668 --> 01:58:12,170
A lot of these tickets are

3430
01:58:12,170 --> 01:58:15,170
associated with people being on

3431
01:58:15,573 --> 01:58:17,141
pcell phones, on top of speed,

3432
01:58:17,141 --> 01:58:18,609
going through intersections.

3433
01:58:18,609 --> 01:58:20,944
A lot of it is distracted

3434
01:58:20,944 --> 01:58:22,213
driving.

3435
01:58:22,213 --> 01:58:24,949
Correlates directly to many of

3436
01:58:24,949 --> 01:58:27,318
the saytality that we've seen.

3437
01:58:27,318 --> 01:58:29,718
Many of the fatalities.

3438
01:58:30,455 --> 01:58:32,890
Traffic collisions, you can see

3439
01:58:32,890 --> 01:58:34,191
we're sitting at 852, above the

3440
01:58:34,191 --> 01:58:36,191
others.

3441
01:58:37,128 --> 01:58:39,528
Injury collisions at 297 versus

3442
01:58:40,198 --> 01:58:40,898
the last yao years at 269 and

3443
01:58:40,898 --> 01:58:42,898
257.

3444
01:58:42,934 --> 01:58:45,934
Traffic fatalities, we have this

3445
01:58:46,604 --> 01:58:47,905
year at 6, not 5.

3446
01:58:47,905 --> 01:58:49,174
I think one of the most

3447
01:58:49,174 --> 01:58:50,308
important things about the red

3448
01:58:50,308 --> 01:58:52,210
light camera, it is a revenue

3449
01:58:52,210 --> 01:58:52,910
resource.

3450
01:58:52,910 --> 01:58:56,510
It noise at revenue resource for

3451
02:01:29,836 --> 02:01:31,836
us.

3452
02:01:35,375 --> 02:01:37,375
Not the collisions.

3453
02:01:39,646 --> 02:01:42,460
The red light violations.

3454
02:01:45,850 --> 02:01:45,327
It doesn't mean everyone gets a

3455
02:01:45,327 --> 02:01:47,327
ticket.

3456
02:01:48,922 --> 02:01:49,289
When the light goes off.

3457
02:01:49,289 --> 02:01:51,289
Someone stopped.

3458
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,360
Right after the limit line.

3459
02:01:58,665 --> 02:01:59,650
Technical violation.

3460
02:01:59,650 --> 02:01:59,666
They stop safely.

3461
02:01:59,666 --> 02:01:59,900
We wouldn't give that person a

3462
02:01:59,900 --> 02:02:00,434
ticket.

3463
02:02:00,434 --> 02:02:03,434
There is a little officer

3464
02:02:04,137 --> 02:02:06,137
discretion.

3465
02:02:06,239 --> 02:02:08,975
We use two independent data

3466
02:02:08,975 --> 02:02:10,509
sources for the locations.

3467
02:02:10,509 --> 02:02:13,509
First was the traffic analysis

3468
02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:15,782
and that is basically the amount

3469
02:02:15,782 --> 02:02:18,182
of collisions at certain

3470
02:02:25,359 --> 02:02:27,627
intersections that we looked at.

3471
02:02:27,627 --> 02:02:29,163
Some of the numbers of surveys

3472
02:02:29,163 --> 02:02:31,163
didn't match up.

3473
02:02:31,932 --> 02:02:33,233
We did our best to combine two

3474
02:02:33,233 --> 02:02:34,468
analysis to determine which

3475
02:02:34,468 --> 02:02:36,468
intersections to use.

3476
02:02:37,805 --> 02:02:40,774
For instance, one of the

3477
02:02:40,774 --> 02:02:41,542
intersections doesn't show high

3478
02:02:41,542 --> 02:02:43,509
collision rate.

3479
02:02:43,509 --> 02:02:45,846
It does show high flow rate.

3480
02:02:45,846 --> 02:02:48,215
I think it is reasonable to use

3481
02:02:48,215 --> 02:02:49,550
that as intersection for red

3482
02:02:49,550 --> 02:02:51,550
light camera.

3483
02:02:51,886 --> 02:02:54,655
We MAY have been lucky.

3484
02:02:54,655 --> 02:02:55,455
There are a high volume of cars

3485
02:02:55,455 --> 02:02:57,455
there.

3486
02:03:01,128 --> 02:03:03,864
The survey shows that this see

3487
02:03:03,864 --> 02:03:07,268
maybe five to six cars pullout

3488
02:03:07,268 --> 02:03:09,870
or run the red light.

3489
02:03:09,870 --> 02:03:11,139
When they are used to the

3490
02:03:11,139 --> 02:03:14,139
intersection we still get five

3491
02:03:14,507 --> 02:03:14,708
to six people running that red

3492
02:03:14,708 --> 02:03:16,708
light.

3493
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:18,979
These are proposed expansions of

3494
02:03:18,979 --> 02:03:20,979
five intersections.

3495
02:03:21,949 --> 02:03:23,949
That is westbound.

3496
02:03:24,719 --> 02:03:26,719
Elk grove.

3497
02:03:27,755 --> 02:03:30,755
Florin and sheldon, elk grove

3498
02:03:43,670 --> 02:03:43,913
boulevard, franklin, bruceville

3499
02:03:43,913 --> 02:03:45,913
road.

3500
02:03:46,107 --> 02:03:49,143
You will notice that the couple

3501
02:03:49,143 --> 02:03:50,678
intersections particularly

3502
02:03:50,678 --> 02:03:52,678
laguna and brews

3503
02:03:58,453 --> 02:03:59,687
and bruceville rode it is

3504
02:03:59,687 --> 02:04:01,687
facing north.

3505
02:04:02,423 --> 02:04:05,423
That is the highest intersection

3506
02:04:09,431 --> 02:04:10,832
we have in the city.

3507
02:04:10,832 --> 02:04:12,832
Any questions.

3508
02:04:16,771 --> 02:04:17,104
>> thank you for your

3509
02:04:17,104 --> 02:04:17,739
presentation.

3510
02:04:17,739 --> 02:04:18,206
At this time I will open public

3511
02:04:18,206 --> 02:04:18,840
comment for in person.

3512
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:19,400
I don't have anyone signed up to

3513
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:21,400
speak.

3514
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:23,760
Anybody online?

3515
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:27,682
>> from our online webinar 9.3.

3516
02:04:27,682 --> 02:04:30,682
Participants in the audience but

3517
02:04:32,254 --> 02:04:32,821
no raised hand function.

3518
02:04:32,821 --> 02:04:33,488
No speakers online for 9.3.

3519
02:04:33,488 --> 02:04:36,488
>> I will close public comment.

3520
02:04:39,194 --> 02:04:41,194
Questions, comments.

3521
02:04:45,167 --> 02:04:45,634
To the right.

3522
02:04:45,634 --> 02:04:46,234
Council member robles.

3523
02:04:46,234 --> 02:04:46,568
>> chief, thank you for the

3524
02:04:46,568 --> 02:04:46,802
presentation.

3525
02:04:46,802 --> 02:04:47,368
I agree.

3526
02:04:47,368 --> 02:04:49,838
I have seen several of these

3527
02:04:49,838 --> 02:04:52,838
accidents take place at all

3528
02:04:56,311 --> 02:04:56,878
times.

3529
02:04:56,878 --> 02:04:57,545
Often times when I go to do

3530
02:04:57,545 --> 02:04:58,145
military stuff and I go home or

3531
02:04:58,145 --> 02:04:58,580
have seen it done where there

3532
02:04:58,580 --> 02:04:59,215
are accidents there.

3533
02:04:59,215 --> 02:05:01,984
There is a lot of traffic and a

3534
02:05:01,984 --> 02:05:02,851
lot of cars definitely speeding

3535
02:05:02,851 --> 02:05:04,851
through that area.

3536
02:05:08,357 --> 02:05:09,240
I think this will deter people

3537
02:05:09,240 --> 02:05:10,191
from blowing the lights and

3538
02:05:10,191 --> 02:05:10,793
going on the speed force as we

3539
02:05:10,793 --> 02:05:13,793
make sure that, one, students

3540
02:05:14,663 --> 02:05:16,531
when they are taking e-scooters

3541
02:05:16,531 --> 02:05:19,501
or e-bikes they are safe.

3542
02:05:19,501 --> 02:05:23,500
As I was sitting here today I

3543
02:05:23,500 --> 02:05:25,507
saw several folks on bicycles

3544
02:05:25,507 --> 02:05:26,175
making sure they were slowing

3545
02:05:26,175 --> 02:05:28,175
down.

3546
02:05:30,412 --> 02:05:30,646
We want them to be safe.

3547
02:05:30,646 --> 02:05:32,646
On

3548
02:05:34,349 --> 02:05:37,652
on bruceville in elk grove i

3549
02:05:37,652 --> 02:05:39,221
have seen a pedestrian hurt

3550
02:05:39,221 --> 02:05:41,221
trying to turn.

3551
02:05:42,558 --> 02:05:44,958
I truly appreciate the

3552
02:05:45,940 --> 02:05:47,630
presentation making sure that we

3553
02:05:47,630 --> 02:05:50,865
make sure the public is safe so

3554
02:05:50,865 --> 02:05:51,133
we don't have fatalities that we

3555
02:05:51,133 --> 02:05:51,834
can avert.

3556
02:05:51,834 --> 02:05:53,168
>> thank you.

3557
02:05:53,168 --> 02:05:55,168
Council member spease.

3558
02:05:56,772 --> 02:05:57,873
>> thank you, chief, thank you

3559
02:05:57,873 --> 02:05:59,541
lieutenant williams.

3560
02:05:59,541 --> 02:06:01,444
Thanks for the presentation.

3561
02:06:01,444 --> 02:06:03,444
I am supportive.

3562
02:06:03,679 --> 02:06:07,879
One of the things I have and

3563
02:06:09,218 --> 02:06:10,886
maybe it is just observation.

3564
02:06:10,886 --> 02:06:13,589
I feel as though I have seen

3565
02:06:13,589 --> 02:06:16,526
more people recently in the last

3566
02:06:16,526 --> 02:06:17,894
six months, a year, maybe since

3567
02:06:17,894 --> 02:06:19,894
covid.

3568
02:06:20,263 --> 02:06:23,263
I don't know the timeframe.

3569
02:06:23,566 --> 02:06:27,166
There appear to be more people

3570
02:06:27,503 --> 02:06:29,903
running stop signs, running

3571
02:06:33,476 --> 02:06:36,120
street lights and sometimes it

3572
02:06:36,120 --> 02:06:36,246
just astounds me they blow right

3573
02:06:36,246 --> 02:06:38,246
through.

3574
02:06:39,983 --> 02:06:42,983
I think these particular cameras

3575
02:06:43,153 --> 02:06:44,487
are very helpful.

3576
02:06:44,487 --> 02:06:46,256
Personally, I wish we didn't

3577
02:06:46,256 --> 02:06:46,689
have to do anything like this,

3578
02:06:46,689 --> 02:06:48,689
right?

3579
02:06:50,360 --> 02:06:53,360
I wish everyone followed the

3580
02:06:53,463 --> 02:06:55,463
law.

3581
02:06:57,767 --> 02:06:59,903
That said, I think when we are

3582
02:06:59,903 --> 02:07:02,903
charged with the public safety,

3583
02:07:03,306 --> 02:07:05,342
we have to use tools

3584
02:07:05,342 --> 02:07:06,420
appropriately to make that

3585
02:07:06,420 --> 02:07:08,420
mission happen.

3586
02:07:08,745 --> 02:07:12,480
I want to thank you guys for

3587
02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:13,283
being there every day in the

3588
02:07:13,283 --> 02:07:15,683
traffic dealing with probably

3589
02:07:15,786 --> 02:07:17,287
some people distracted, some

3590
02:07:17,287 --> 02:07:20,230
people unhappy because they have

3591
02:07:20,230 --> 02:07:20,357
to go to work, in a hurry coming

3592
02:07:20,357 --> 02:07:22,357
home.

3593
02:07:23,560 --> 02:07:26,462
I know it is probably not to

3594
02:07:26,462 --> 02:07:30,620
mention probably one of the most

3595
02:07:30,467 --> 02:07:31,702
what would you call it high risk

3596
02:07:31,702 --> 02:07:32,402
encounters because you are on

3597
02:07:32,402 --> 02:07:34,402
the road.

3598
02:07:34,605 --> 02:07:35,239
I want to make sure I thank you

3599
02:07:35,239 --> 02:07:37,239
for that.

3600
02:07:37,540 --> 02:07:38,642
With that thank you very much.

3601
02:07:38,642 --> 02:07:40,277
>> thank you.

3602
02:07:40,277 --> 02:07:42,277
Council member brewer.

3603
02:07:44,848 --> 02:07:47,248
>> thank you, MADAM Mayor.

3604
02:07:48,685 --> 02:07:50,554
Thank you to chief davis and

3605
02:07:50,554 --> 02:07:52,388
lieutenant williams for the data

3606
02:07:52,388 --> 02:07:54,390
and information to support need

3607
02:07:54,390 --> 02:07:56,790
for new intersection locations.

3608
02:07:57,194 --> 02:07:59,594
High traffic areas throughout

3609
02:08:00,965 --> 02:08:03,968
elk grove that are highly likely

3610
02:08:03,968 --> 02:08:06,368
where we see accidents.

3611
02:08:08,839 --> 02:08:09,306
It is always helpful to have

3612
02:08:09,306 --> 02:08:11,306
lights as deterrents.

3613
02:08:11,575 --> 02:08:14,277
Not meant to make money.

3614
02:08:14,277 --> 02:08:17,277
To educate, inform and keep

3615
02:08:17,782 --> 02:08:19,782
people safe.

3616
02:08:21,510 --> 02:08:23,353
Basically to be good stewards.

3617
02:08:23,353 --> 02:08:26,390
I used to be one of those people

3618
02:08:26,390 --> 02:08:28,790
with a heavy leadfoot.

3619
02:08:29,493 --> 02:08:30,761
Over time you come to the

3620
02:08:30,761 --> 02:08:33,297
realization it is not worth

3621
02:08:33,297 --> 02:08:35,900
trying to run a red light.

3622
02:08:35,900 --> 02:08:36,500
You are going to get home

3623
02:08:36,500 --> 02:08:38,500
nevertheless.

3624
02:08:38,903 --> 02:08:43,103
Key you want to make sure the

3625
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:47,511
person in the car next to you or

3626
02:08:47,511 --> 02:08:47,911
across from you we want them

3627
02:08:47,911 --> 02:08:49,146
home safe, too.

3628
02:08:49,146 --> 02:08:50,414
These lights represent that.

3629
02:08:50,414 --> 02:08:53,318
With that said thank you for

3630
02:08:53,318 --> 02:08:56,318
providing this data and thank

3631
02:08:56,553 --> 02:08:57,655

3632
02:08:57,655 --> 02:09:01,255
partners within the city to make

3633
02:09:01,659 --> 02:09:05,960
sure that we are trying to

3634
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:05,597
promote safety as much as

3635
02:09:05,597 --> 02:09:06,597
humanly possible.

3636
02:09:06,597 --> 02:09:07,598

3642
02:09:18,905 --> 02:09:20,345
story.

3643
02:09:20,345 --> 02:09:22,814
Appreciate your hard efforts in

3644
02:09:22,814 --> 02:09:25,214
keeping us all safe.

3645
02:09:26,284 --> 02:09:27,285
Trying to change behavior.

3646
02:09:27,285 --> 02:09:29,285
>> thank you.

3647
02:09:29,354 --> 02:09:32,354
I agree this is needed.

3648
02:09:32,757 --> 02:09:33,691
I think we have all seen bad

3649
02:09:33,691 --> 02:09:35,691
behaviors.

3650
02:09:35,894 --> 02:09:37,462
Hopefully we have changed

3651
02:09:37,462 --> 02:09:37,662
behavior and keep everybody

3652
02:09:37,662 --> 02:09:39,364

national community survey.

3676
02:10:35,588 --> 02:10:38,123
This is from the most recent

3677
02:10:38,123 --> 02:10:40,123
ncs.

3678
02:10:40,426 --> 02:10:42,361
The national research center and

3679
02:10:42,361 --> 02:10:44,361
international county management

3680
02:10:44,429 --> 02:10:46,429
association.

3681
02:10:46,765 --> 02:10:48,765
Comprehensive picture of

3682
02:10:49,335 --> 02:10:51,335
liveable local government

3683
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:55,720
services, policies, management.

3684
02:10:57,943 --> 02:10:58,978
This surveys is every other year

3685
02:10:58,978 --> 02:10:59,612
since 2009 providing over 15

3686
02:10:59,612 --> 02:11:01,612
years of data.

3687
02:11:07,253 --> 02:11:07,820
The results of the survey are

3688
02:11:07,820 --> 02:11:08,287
used to determine community

3689
02:11:08,287 --> 02:11:09,255

3690
02:11:09,255 --> 02:11:09,789

and improve city progress.

3692
02:11:16,696 --> 02:11:17,163
This was mailed to 5,000

3693
02:11:17,163 --> 02:11:18,731
families in the city.

3694
02:11:18,731 --> 02:11:21,731
This allows results to be

3695
02:11:23,736 --> 02:11:26,136
representative of the residents

3696
02:11:26,372 --> 02:11:26,938
of elk grove.

3697
02:11:26,938 --> 02:11:28,938
432 responses were received

3698
02:11:31,944 --> 02:11:33,712
during the six-week periods late

3699
02:11:33,712 --> 02:11:34,112
april to late MAY 2026.

3700
02:11:34,112 --> 02:11:34,680
9% response rate.

3701
02:11:34,680 --> 02:11:34,947
Higher than 6% response rate

3702
02:11:34,947 --> 02:11:36,947
from 2024.

3703
02:11:41,200 --> 02:11:44,200
In addition to random sample

3704
02:11:44,857 --> 02:11:45,491
survey city posted link on the

3705
02:11:45,491 --> 02:11:45,791
website and allowed any resident

3706
02:11:45,791 --> 02:11:47,791
to complete.

3707
02:11:48,328 --> 02:11:51,928
This was available for two weeks

3708
02:11:54,100 --> 02:11:56,500
and results got us 253

3709
02:11:57,804 --> 02:11:58,204
responses.

3710
02:11:58,204 --> 02:11:58,871
One thing to note.

3711
02:11:58,871 --> 02:11:59,471
Results of the opt-in portion of

3712
02:11:59,471 --> 02:12:03,710
the survey not included in the

3713
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:03,743
data here so as to not introduce

3714
02:12:03,743 --> 02:12:06,143
bias into the survey.

3715
02:12:10,684 --> 02:12:11,510
They are included in the report

3716
02:12:11,510 --> 02:12:13,510
on separate tab.

3717
02:12:17,230 --> 02:12:19,230
Data analysis.

3718
02:12:25,231 --> 02:12:27,231
Survey spss.

3719
02:12:29,936 --> 02:12:32,336
The demographics of respondents

3720
02:12:34,241 --> 02:12:34,808
compared to 2020 census and 2024

3721
02:12:34,808 --> 02:12:35,208
american community survey in

3722
02:12:35,208 --> 02:12:37,310
city of elk grove.

3723
02:12:37,310 --> 02:12:38,645
Primary objective of weighting

3724
02:12:38,645 --> 02:12:39,179
the data to make sure

3725
02:12:39,179 --> 02:12:41,179
respondents reflect larger

3726
02:12:41,481 --> 02:12:43,881
population of elk grove

3727
02:12:45,510 --> 02:12:47,510
community.

3728
02:12:48,655 --> 02:12:49,755
Results of the weighting sample

3729
02:12:49,755 --> 02:12:50,457
are in the table to the right.

3730
02:12:50,457 --> 02:12:54,657
Just for every one to know we

3731
02:12:57,798 --> 02:12:59,800
take for example the first

3732
02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:00,367
bucket 18-34 age range.

3733
02:13:00,367 --> 02:13:01,568
4% of the unweighted survey

3734
02:13:01,568 --> 02:13:03,568
responses compared with

3735
02:13:14,482 --> 02:13:15,114
population target 25%.

3736
02:13:15,114 --> 02:13:16,250
Weighted increases influence of

3737
02:13:16,250 --> 02:13:16,817
responses to better reflect

3738
02:13:16,817 --> 02:13:17,117
representation in community.

3739
02:13:17,117 --> 02:13:17,718
Conversely.

3740
02:13:17,718 --> 02:13:20,118
Groups over represented among

3741
02:13:20,421 --> 02:13:22,821
respondents receive less weight.

3742
02:13:35,235 --> 02:13:35,836
This process is applied to age,

3743
02:13:35,836 --> 02:13:36,203
sex, origin, housing type and

3744
02:13:36,203 --> 02:13:37,705
tenure and area.

3745
02:13:37,705 --> 02:13:38,739
One of the key items the survey

3746
02:13:38,739 --> 02:13:38,973
CAPTUREs community live

3747
02:13:38,973 --> 02:13:40,674
ability.

3748
02:13:40,674 --> 02:13:43,740
Residents are asks questions

3749
02:13:43,644 --> 02:13:46,440
around these 10 facets of

3750
02:13:46,800 --> 02:13:46,681
community.

3751
02:13:46,681 --> 02:13:49,810
Safety, parks and recreation,

3752
02:13:49,250 --> 02:13:51,250
design, natural environment.

3753
02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:55,489
Arts and culture, mobility and

3754
02:13:55,489 --> 02:13:57,425
community connection.

3755
02:13:57,425 --> 02:13:59,825
Percentage of respondents who

3756
02:13:59,827 --> 02:14:01,829
rated each of these areas as

3757
02:14:01,829 --> 02:14:02,363
either essential or very

3758
02:14:02,363 --> 02:14:04,363
important.

3759
02:14:05,133 --> 02:14:08,733
Safety continues to be a top

3760
02:14:09,370 --> 02:14:11,172
priority for our residents as do

3761
02:14:11,172 --> 02:14:13,172
youtilities and economy.

3762
02:14:13,308 --> 02:14:15,309
Safety and economy were

3763
02:14:15,309 --> 02:14:15,777
priorities in the last three

3764
02:14:15,777 --> 02:14:17,711
iterations as well.

3765
02:14:17,711 --> 02:14:20,448
One of the useful ways to look

3766
02:14:20,448 --> 02:14:22,383
at data is through gap analysis

3767
02:14:22,383 --> 02:14:23,317
to view difference between

3768
02:14:23,317 --> 02:14:25,717
importance that community places

3769
02:14:27,388 --> 02:14:28,220
on the various aspects in

3770
02:14:28,220 --> 02:14:30,580
comparison to perceived quality

3771
02:14:30,580 --> 02:14:32,260
for that aspect.

3772
02:14:32,260 --> 02:14:33,461
Closer these two scores are

3773
02:14:33,461 --> 02:14:35,430
smaller the gap.

3774
02:14:35,430 --> 02:14:37,830
More aligned the community

3775
02:14:37,831 --> 02:14:38,867
priorities are with perceived

3776
02:14:38,867 --> 02:14:40,867
quality.

3777
02:14:41,836 --> 02:14:43,338
Ncs reflects residents opinions

3778

3968
02:23:15,956 --> 02:23:17,956
Anybody online?

3969
02:23:19,827 --> 02:23:23,427
>> I do have a speaker online.

3970
02:23:23,830 --> 02:23:28,300
Just give me a little built to

02:23:29,603 --> 02:23:33,203
get my butt tons correctly taps

3972
02:23:37,411 --> 02:23:39,411

3976
02:23:49,390 --> 02:23:51,390
and clear.

3977
02:23:52,226 --> 02:23:53,794
I will pull up a speaker timer.

3978
02:23:53,794 --> 02:23:55,794
>> thank you.

3979
02:23:58,466 --> 02:24:01,466
I really appreciate this report.

3980
02:24:01,535 --> 02:24:02,970
I was one of the students

3981
02:24:02,970 --> 02:24:05,370
involved in completing it.

3982
02:24:08,542 --> 02:24:11,878
I am very proud where we live a

3983
02:24:11,878 --> 02:24:14,878
question for the future living

3984
02:24:17,485 --> 02:24:21,422
in elk grove a lot of comments

3985
02:24:21,422 --> 02:24:23,422
brought it up.

3986
02:24:24,910 --> 02:24:25,259
Amazing numbers and diversity in

3987
02:24:25,259 --> 02:24:27,259
elk grove.

3988
02:24:29,330 --> 02:24:30,798
I urge city council members to

3989
02:24:30,798 --> 02:24:33,534
consider again you have had so

3990
02:24:33,534 --> 02:24:35,934
many discussions license plate

3991
02:24:36,104 --> 02:24:39,104
readers and block cameras will

3992
02:24:41,142 --> 02:24:43,770
create detriment to numbers.

3993
02:24:43,770 --> 02:24:46,770
Safety and housing are number

3994
02:24:46,581 --> 02:24:50,181
one priorities on top of the

3995
02:24:50,251 --> 02:24:50,552
fact it is also the economy to

3996
02:24:50,552 --> 02:24:52,552
spend this.

3997
02:24:54,220 --> 02:24:56,357
We could have more housing,

3998
02:24:56,357 --> 02:24:58,357
economic growth.

3999
02:24:58,559 --> 02:25:01,129
i yield my file and conclude

4000
02:25:01,129 --> 02:25:01,929

4001
02:25:01,929 --> 02:25:04,929

4004
02:25:08,637 --> 02:25:10,272
potential for the city.

4005
02:25:10,272 --> 02:25:11,390
Thank you so much.

4006
02:25:11,390 --> 02:25:13,390

4008
02:25:16,110 --> 02:25:18,110
>> no.

4009
02:25:18,713 --> 02:25:18,913
I do not have other requests to

4010
02:25:18,913 --> 02:25:20,881
speak.

4011
02:25:20,881 --> 02:25:21,650
>> I am going to close public

4012
02:25:21,650 --> 02:25:22,651
comment.

4013
02:25:22,651 --> 02:25:23,952
Questions or comments.

4014
02:25:23,952 --> 02:25:25,487
To the left.

4015
02:25:25,487 --> 02:25:27,487
Council member brewer.

4016
02:25:28,122 --> 02:25:30,522
>> thank you, MADAM Mayor.

4017
02:25:31,393 --> 02:25:33,361
I want to thank you for

4018
02:25:33,361 --> 02:25:35,464
providing the information for

4019
02:25:35,464 --> 02:25:37,464
the report.

4020
02:25:39,400 --> 02:25:40,680
Obviously we sent out 5,000

4021
02:25:40,680 --> 02:25:42,680
postcards.

4022
02:25:42,170 --> 02:25:44,406
Overall response rate is higher

4023
02:25:44,406 --> 02:25:46,406
than last year.

4024
02:25:46,675 --> 02:25:48,442
Hopefully we can compel more

4025
02:25:48,442 --> 02:25:52,420
folks in the public when they

4026
02:25:52,915 --> 02:25:56,151
receive it to fill it out and

4027
02:25:56,151 --> 02:25:58,120
return it as part of being a

4028
02:25:58,120 --> 02:25:59,988
stakeholder in all of our city.

4029
02:25:59,988 --> 02:26:02,388
Part of the process.

4030
02:26:03,692 --> 02:26:06,950
We want to know where we can do

4031
02:26:06,950 --> 02:26:06,895
better in the spirit of

4032
02:26:06,895 --> 02:26:08,895
continuous improvement.

4033
02:26:09,364 --> 02:26:13,350
A lot of good marks in here but

4034
02:26:13,350 --> 02:26:13,568
some areas where we can rebound

4035
02:26:13,568 --> 02:26:15,568
and do better.

4036
02:26:17,940 --> 02:26:19,141
It is part of the process as we

4037
02:26:19,141 --> 02:26:19,808
strive to make elk grove a

4038
02:26:19,808 --> 02:26:21,677
strong community.

4039
02:26:21,677 --> 02:26:22,311
We do have the number one

4040
02:26:22,311 --> 02:26:24,311
rating.

4041
02:26:24,947 --> 02:26:27,882
To have that number one rating

4042
02:26:27,882 --> 02:26:31,620
comes with a lot of hard work.

4043
02:26:31,620 --> 02:26:34,200
This is good information.

4044
02:26:34,256 --> 02:26:36,125
We can always strive to be

4045
02:26:36,125 --> 02:26:38,194
better and do better.

4046
02:26:38,194 --> 02:26:38,660
Thank you.

4047
02:26:38,660 --> 02:26:40,496
>> vice mayor.

4048
02:26:40,496 --> 02:26:42,832
>> thank you, mayor and thank

4049
02:26:42,832 --> 02:26:45,232
you for the information.

4050
02:26:45,767 --> 02:26:47,503
I do appreciate it and agree

4051
02:26:47,503 --> 02:26:50,306
with what council member brewer

4052
02:26:50,306 --> 02:26:52,306
said continuous improvement.

4053
02:26:53,709 --> 02:26:55,945
You continue to be our mantra.

4054
02:26:55,945 --> 02:26:58,781
I am pleased to see the general

4055
02:26:58,781 --> 02:26:59,315
trend of a lot of these

4056
02:26:59,315 --> 02:27:01,315
categories.

4057
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:05,684
There are areas that we will

4058
02:27:06,989 --> 02:27:10,560
continue to work on but people

4059
02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:12,328
still enjoy living here and feel

4060
02:27:12,328 --> 02:27:13,529
safe here.

4061
02:27:13,529 --> 02:27:15,529
Appreciate this information.

4062
02:27:15,731 --> 02:27:17,367
Thank you.

4063
02:27:17,367 --> 02:27:18,334
>> council member spease.

4064
02:27:18,334 --> 02:27:20,334
>> thank you.

4065
02:27:20,602 --> 02:27:22,602
I appreciate presentation.

4066
02:27:22,906 --> 02:27:24,106
Just a couple nuggets to take

4067
02:27:24,106 --> 02:27:26,106
away from it.

4068
02:27:27,277 --> 02:27:30,277
Yet again, further evidence that

4069
02:27:30,480 --> 02:27:33,316
elk grove values public safety.

4070
02:27:33,316 --> 02:27:34,417
It is an important concern for

4071
02:27:34,417 --> 02:27:36,417
everyone.

4072
02:27:37,720 --> 02:27:38,555
I would say overwhelming

4073
02:27:38,555 --> 02:27:40,555
majority.

4074
02:27:41,523 --> 02:27:41,702
Public safety is important to

4075
02:27:41,702 --> 02:27:43,702
us.

4076
02:27:44,159 --> 02:27:47,731
The other things that I wanted

4077
02:27:47,731 --> 02:27:50,731
to talk about traffic later.

4078
02:27:53,336 --> 02:27:56,773
You know it would be interesting

4079
02:27:56,773 --> 02:28:00,373
to -- we shouldn't just talk

4080
02:28:00,843 --> 02:28:01,844
about all of the great things

4081
02:28:01,844 --> 02:28:03,846
there are blemishes as well.

4082
02:28:03,846 --> 02:28:06,416
I would like to hear other ways

4083
02:28:06,416 --> 02:28:10,616
to come to elk grove is great

4084
02:28:10,687 --> 02:28:13,390
place to work or other things to

4085
02:28:13,390 --> 02:28:16,793
dig in for more information and

4086
02:28:16,793 --> 02:28:17,527
continue to improve.

4087
02:28:17,527 --> 02:28:19,527
Great report.

4088
02:28:20,831 --> 02:28:23,432
Those things we got to work on

4089
02:28:23,432 --> 02:28:23,900
traffic we are working on it.

4090
02:28:23,900 --> 02:28:25,900
Thanks.

4091
02:28:27,104 --> 02:28:27,571
>> thank you.

4092
02:28:27,571 --> 02:28:29,600
Council member robles.

4093
02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:29,973
>> thank you for the

4094
02:28:29,973 --> 02:28:31,973
presentation.

4095
02:28:32,109 --> 02:28:33,910
91% of residents recommend

4096
02:28:33,910 --> 02:28:36,310
living in elk grove.

4097
02:28:38,515 --> 02:28:41,151
That speaks to the services we

4098
02:28:41,151 --> 02:28:43,120
provide, and making sure

4099
02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:46,120
families feel like they can

4100
02:28:46,523 --> 02:28:47,291
live, work and shop around and

4101
02:28:47,291 --> 02:28:49,291
experience that.

4102
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:51,295
I am looking forward to the

4103
02:28:51,295 --> 02:28:53,295
retreat.

4104
02:28:53,931 --> 02:28:55,933
We will talk about everything

4105
02:28:55,933 --> 02:28:56,834
else.

4106
02:28:56,834 --> 02:28:58,702
COUNCILMAN Spease was saying

4107
02:28:58,702 --> 02:29:00,771

4108
02:29:00,771 --> 02:29:02,439
grove will look like in the next

4109
02:29:02,439 --> 02:29:03,841
coming years.

4110
02:29:03,841 --> 02:29:05,841
>> excellent report.

4111
02:29:06,109 --> 02:29:08,445
Always good to see the feedback.

Echo same comments when it comes

4113
02:29:11,314 --> 02:29:13,314
to continuous improvement.

4114
02:29:13,751 --> 02:29:16,354
Those are easy to identify and I

4115
02:29:16,354 --> 02:29:17,320
do know we have a presentation

4116
02:29:17,320 --> 02:29:18,623
after this one-on-one of those

4117
02:29:18,623 --> 02:29:20,623
key items.

4118
02:29:21,425 --> 02:29:24,462
We are paying attention to some

4119
02:29:24,462 --> 02:29:28,332
of those areas we can be better.

4120
02:29:28,332 --> 02:29:28,900
I am very pleased with response

4121
02:29:28,900 --> 02:29:30,900

high-quality of life.

4130
02:29:51,322 --> 02:29:52,223

02:29:52,223 --> 02:29:54,192
collectively.

4132
02:29:54,192 --> 02:29:54,959

flow and traffic signal timing.

4144
02:30:36,134 --> 02:30:39,134
Overview of network how to

4145
02:30:41,406 --> 02:30:42,841
contribute to congestion and how

4146
02:30:42,841 --> 02:30:44,810
we manage.

4147
02:30:44,810 --> 02:30:47,210

addition to managing traffic

4149
02:30:50,820 --> 02:30:51,350

02:30:55,870 --> 02:30:57,889
alternatives to how we manage

4153
02:30:57,889 --> 02:30:58,223
traffic signals and get your

4154
02:30:58,223 --> 02:31:00,223
feedback.

4155
02:31:00,559 --> 02:31:01,960
Reason I am here because jose

4156
02:31:01,960 --> 02:31:04,462
has done a great job.

4157
02:31:04,462 --> 02:31:07,462
I want to preface by

4158
02:31:07,599 --> 02:31:08,333
acknowledging this can be dry

4159
02:31:08,333 --> 02:31:09,802
technical subject matter.

4160
02:31:09,802 --> 02:31:13,204
We will do our best to get

4161
02:31:13,204 --> 02:31:14,807
through it in layman's term to

4162
02:31:14,807 --> 02:31:15,474
present you and community this

4163
02:31:15,474 --> 02:31:17,474
information.

4164
02:31:18,243 --> 02:31:19,611
Our goal is educate and answer

4165
02:31:19,611 --> 02:31:22,110
questions and get feedback.

4166
02:31:22,214 --> 02:31:24,483
We look forward to your

4167
02:31:24,483 --> 02:31:26,483
questions and feedback.

4168
02:31:35,127 --> 02:31:37,127
I welcome jose.

4169
02:31:37,329 --> 02:31:39,329
>> good evening.

4170
02:31:40,232 --> 02:31:40,466
I am traffic and engineering

4171
02:31:40,466 --> 02:31:41,133
manager.

4172
02:31:41,133 --> 02:31:42,968
I will talk about traffic flow

4173
02:31:42,968 --> 02:31:44,968
and signal timing.

4174
02:31:45,603 --> 02:31:49,108
Here is an overview summary of

4175
02:31:49,108 --> 02:31:51,508
our objectives for tonight.

4176
02:31:52,780 --> 02:31:53,613
City of elk grove has had

4177
02:31:53,613 --> 02:31:55,514
significant growth since

4178
02:31:55,514 --> 02:31:56,549
incorporation.

4179
02:31:56,549 --> 02:31:58,584
With that growth comes increase

4180
02:31:58,584 --> 02:31:59,719
in traffic and traffic

4181
02:31:59,719 --> 02:32:00,720
congestion.

4182
02:32:00,720 --> 02:32:02,720
2017 staff received direction

4183
02:32:03,556 --> 02:32:06,920
from city council to prioritize

4184
02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:09,692
traffic flow on east and west

4185
02:32:10,229 --> 02:32:10,629
directions on elk grove and

4186
02:32:10,629 --> 02:32:12,629
laguna boulevard.

4187
02:32:13,299 --> 02:32:15,635
Staff has expanded to other

4188
02:32:15,635 --> 02:32:17,904
arterials in the city.

4189
02:32:17,904 --> 02:32:19,438
Prioritizing movements over

4190
02:32:19,438 --> 02:32:22,438
others comes with challenges and

4191
02:32:23,420 --> 02:32:26,679
trade offs which I will touch on

4192
02:32:26,679 --> 02:32:28,679
throughout this presentation.

4193
02:32:30,149 --> 02:32:32,549
First to understand the

4194
02:32:33,319 --> 02:32:35,722
characteristics with a lot of

4195
02:32:35,722 --> 02:32:37,757
cul-de-sacs allows low speeds

4196
02:32:37,757 --> 02:32:38,910
and traffic volumes in

4197
02:32:38,910 --> 02:32:40,910
neighborhoods.

4198
02:32:41,561 --> 02:32:43,496
This results in higher

4199
02:32:43,496 --> 02:32:44,697
concentrations on arterial

4200
02:32:44,697 --> 02:32:46,697
roadways.

4201
02:32:47,434 --> 02:32:50,434
Compared to a more urban

4202
02:32:51,504 --> 02:32:53,106
environment with a great system

4203
02:32:53,106 --> 02:32:55,506
that allows additional mobility

4204
02:32:59,120 --> 02:32:59,613
access roads.

4205
02:32:59,613 --> 02:33:01,613
Additionally majoritity of

4206
02:33:03,549 --> 02:33:05,285
commercial areas are located in

4207
02:33:05,285 --> 02:33:05,518
center of city and freeway

4208
02:33:05,518 --> 02:33:07,518
access.

4209
02:33:07,988 --> 02:33:11,588
This is where we have largest

4210
02:33:12,590 --> 02:33:12,959
traffic volumes and most

4211
02:33:12,959 --> 02:33:13,627
congested signal live

4212
02:33:13,627 --> 02:33:15,627
intersections.

4213
02:33:17,631 --> 02:33:20,631
To help with traffic congestian

4214
02:33:21,367 --> 02:33:23,737
we use signal timing.

4215
02:33:23,737 --> 02:33:25,872
Every signal operates on cycle

4216
02:33:25,872 --> 02:33:29,343
which is how long it takes for

4217
02:33:29,343 --> 02:33:30,900
all of the movement to be

4218
02:33:30,900 --> 02:33:32,900
served.

4219
02:33:33,714 --> 02:33:37,351
It can be thought of as a pie

4220
02:33:37,351 --> 02:33:38,585
and each movement receives a

4221
02:33:38,585 --> 02:33:40,985
slice of that pipe.

4222
02:33:43,900 --> 02:33:46,900
Timing tool is that traffic

4223
02:33:47,194 --> 02:33:49,194
signal coordination

4224
02:33:49,328 --> 02:33:50,397
synchronization of traffic

4225
02:33:50,397 --> 02:33:52,397
signals.

4226
02:33:54,601 --> 02:33:58,201
There are some MISS Consegs with

4227
02:33:59,806 --> 02:34:01,806
timing -- misconceptions.

4228
02:34:05,979 --> 02:34:08,682
It doesn't add capacity when the

4229
02:34:08,682 --> 02:34:09,849
vehicle amount exceeds.

4230
02:34:09,849 --> 02:34:11,849
Peak hours.

4231
02:34:12,820 --> 02:34:14,555
Drives will be green all of the

4232
02:34:14,555 --> 02:34:16,555
time.

4233
02:34:17,910 --> 02:34:17,625
So this is where I will get more

4234
02:34:17,625 --> 02:34:19,625
technical.

4235
02:34:22,129 --> 02:34:22,663
I will go over how traffic

4236
02:34:22,663 --> 02:34:24,980
signal coordination is

4237
02:34:24,980 --> 02:34:26,980
accomplished.

4238
02:34:28,369 --> 02:34:29,804
Three components for signals to

4239
02:34:29,804 --> 02:34:30,400
synchronize together.

4240
02:34:30,400 --> 02:34:32,400
First.

4241
02:34:38,245 --> 02:34:39,480
They have to have same clock,

4242
02:34:39,480 --> 02:34:41,480
length or pie.

4243
02:34:42,717 --> 02:34:44,652
If we give too big time to small

4244
02:34:44,652 --> 02:34:46,200
intersectionits causes wait

4245
02:34:46,200 --> 02:34:47,555
times on side streets and left

4246
02:34:47,555 --> 02:34:49,555
turns.

4247
02:34:51,250 --> 02:34:51,659
Not enough pie to larger

4248
02:34:51,659 --> 02:34:52,260
intersection automobiles MAY not

4249
02:34:52,260 --> 02:34:54,260
be served.

4250
02:34:55,363 --> 02:34:55,596
We have to balance the size of

4251
02:34:55,596 --> 02:34:57,596
the pie.

4252
02:34:58,967 --> 02:35:01,680
Once we have established the pie

4253
02:35:01,680 --> 02:35:04,668
size, divided between all of the

4254
02:35:05,373 --> 02:35:06,730
movements based on demand and

4255
02:35:06,730 --> 02:35:08,730
priority.

4256
02:35:10,578 --> 02:35:12,113
Last component is assigning when

4257
02:35:12,113 --> 02:35:13,848
the main line turns green.

4258
02:35:13,848 --> 02:35:14,349
We are coordinating two

4259
02:35:14,349 --> 02:35:16,349
directions.

4260
02:35:16,951 --> 02:35:20,188
We have to balance out the time

4261
02:35:20,188 --> 02:35:20,755
it turns green for both

4262
02:35:20,755 --> 02:35:22,289
directions.

4263
02:35:22,289 --> 02:35:24,689
The main take away.

4264
02:35:24,926 --> 02:35:26,428
It would give more time to

4265
02:35:26,428 --> 02:35:28,828
movement, someone else would

4266
02:35:30,365 --> 02:35:32,365
have to wait.

4267
02:35:33,535 --> 02:35:35,604
One of the biggest trade office

4268
02:35:35,604 --> 02:35:38,400
with coordination since the

4269
02:35:38,139 --> 02:35:40,539
mainlands gets more time.

4270
02:35:40,742 --> 02:35:42,511
Left turns have to wait until it

4271
02:35:42,511 --> 02:35:44,511
is their turn.

4272
02:35:44,679 --> 02:35:46,679
Also various disruptions

4273
02:35:47,648 --> 02:35:49,648
throughout the d.

4274
02:35:50,510 --> 02:35:51,887
Interimses of coordination at

4275
02:35:51,887 --> 02:35:55,487
times what causes it is not

4276
02:35:55,624 --> 02:35:58,460
always seen by the driver.

4277
02:35:58,460 --> 02:36:01,529
Also elk grove is one of the few

4278
02:36:01,529 --> 02:36:03,929
agencies that operates the

4279
02:36:04,320 --> 02:36:06,301
signals at freeway ramps.

4280
02:36:06,301 --> 02:36:06,701
We incorporate to local

4281
02:36:06,701 --> 02:36:08,701
coordination.

4282
02:36:09,671 --> 02:36:13,271
Because of this we are mindful

4283
02:36:13,308 --> 02:36:16,779
not to create cueing that spills

4284
02:36:16,779 --> 02:36:18,779
into the freeway.

4285
02:36:20,315 --> 02:36:21,583
Currently 8 corridors

4286
02:36:21,583 --> 02:36:23,583
coordinated.

4287
02:36:24,653 --> 02:36:26,550
Timing update was completed in

4288
02:36:26,550 --> 02:36:28,550
2025.

4289
02:36:28,924 --> 02:36:31,924
Results can be seen here.

4290
02:36:34,562 --> 02:36:37,562
With these improvements do come

4291
02:36:39,268 --> 02:36:40,436
tradeoffs.

4292
02:36:40,436 --> 02:36:44,360
Again, left turns do have to

4293
02:36:45,608 --> 02:36:48,608
wait longer to improve traffic

4294
02:36:50,790 --> 02:36:53,790
flow on the main line.

4295
02:36:53,248 --> 02:36:54,917
We received concerns from

4296
02:36:54,917 --> 02:36:56,285
community which can be one of

4297
02:36:56,285 --> 02:36:58,285
those treadoffs.

4298
02:36:59,354 --> 02:37:02,758
We can explain most of these

4299
02:37:02,758 --> 02:37:03,590
concerns associated with

4300
02:37:03,590 --> 02:37:05,590
trade-offs.

4301
02:37:07,630 --> 02:37:10,630
We do investigate every request.

4302
02:37:11,300 --> 02:37:12,268
Utilizing technology data from

4303
02:37:12,268 --> 02:37:14,268
traffic management center.

4304
02:37:14,737 --> 02:37:18,337
We track events that have a

4305
02:37:19,141 --> 02:37:21,541
change in traffic patterns.

4306
02:37:28,685 --> 02:37:29,251
Holidays, schools, or opening

4307
02:37:29,251 --> 02:37:31,251
newcomer

4308
02:37:36,592 --> 02:37:38,592
new commercial area.

4309
02:37:40,496 --> 02:37:43,496
There are various projects that

4310
02:37:44,901 --> 02:37:45,201
we are working on to reduce

4311
02:37:45,201 --> 02:37:47,201
congestion.

4312
02:37:49,371 --> 02:37:52,909
The adaptive system on elk grove

4313
02:37:52,909 --> 02:37:54,310
which adjusts signal timing

4314
02:37:54,310 --> 02:37:56,310
throughout the day.

4315
02:37:57,914 --> 02:37:59,914
The critical intersection

4316
02:38:01,451 --> 02:38:03,851
project earns turning and

4317
02:38:04,421 --> 02:38:04,587
storage capacity to high vol

4318
02:38:04,587 --> 02:38:06,587
eye.

4319
02:38:10,600 --> 02:38:13,290
We have large flashing arrows

4320
02:38:13,290 --> 02:38:15,331
and two of our logic from

4321
02:38:15,331 --> 02:38:17,731
structure projects we willed

4322
02:38:19,536 --> 02:38:19,870
freeway access points to the

4323
02:38:19,870 --> 02:38:21,870
city.

4324
02:38:22,710 --> 02:38:24,471
Various alternatives to managing

4325
02:38:24,674 --> 02:38:26,674
the system.

4326
02:38:28,411 --> 02:38:31,411
Coordination can be remove and

4327
02:38:32,782 --> 02:38:35,519
side street can be prioritize.

4328
02:38:35,519 --> 02:38:36,520
Both options.

4329
02:38:36,520 --> 02:38:38,920
Alternatively more green time

4330
02:38:40,857 --> 02:38:41,891
can be added to main line to

4331
02:38:41,891 --> 02:38:43,891
increase traffic flow.

4332
02:38:45,696 --> 02:38:47,640
It will result in wait times for

4333
02:38:47,640 --> 02:38:48,665
side streets and left turns.

4334
02:38:48,665 --> 02:38:50,665
Staff recommendation maintain

4335
02:38:53,690 --> 02:38:55,690
current approach prioritizing

4336
02:38:56,773 --> 02:38:58,942
arterials but balancing needs by

4337
02:38:58,942 --> 02:39:00,577
adjusting coordination based on

4338
02:39:00,577 --> 02:39:02,546
changing traffic demands.

4339
02:39:02,546 --> 02:39:04,946
This concludes my presentation.

4340
02:39:05,615 --> 02:39:09,352
I would open it up for questions

4341
02:39:09,352 --> 02:39:10,453
or feedback.

4342
02:39:10,453 --> 02:39:10,887
>> thank you for the

4343
02:39:10,887 --> 02:39:12,887
presentation.

4344
02:39:12,957 --> 02:39:16,327
I will open up public comment.

4345
02:39:16,327 --> 02:39:18,629
Nobody is signed up to speak on

4346
02:39:18,629 --> 02:39:20,640
this in person.

4347
02:39:20,640 --> 02:39:22,640
Anybody online.

4348
02:39:23,934 --> 02:39:25,350
>> I do not see raised hand

4349
02:39:25,350 --> 02:39:27,350
function utilized.

4350
02:39:29,390 --> 02:39:29,573
That concludes public comment on

4351
02:39:29,573 --> 02:39:31,573
9.5.

4352
02:39:31,675 --> 02:39:34,675
>> council comments to the right

4353
02:39:37,348 --> 02:39:39,348
council member spease.

4354
02:39:41,118 --> 02:39:42,687
>> I appreciate your expertise.

4355
02:39:42,687 --> 02:39:45,422
MR. Warner didn't sept you

4356
02:39:45,422 --> 02:39:47,422
set you up

4357
02:39:49,160 --> 02:39:52,760
very well but he wasn't wrong.

4358
02:39:53,564 --> 02:39:55,732
Traffic and signals is like

4359
02:39:55,732 --> 02:39:58,732
accounting, finance where it is

4360
02:39:59,704 --> 02:40:02,307
like I want to see the budget.

4361
02:40:02,307 --> 02:40:05,907
Then he go I appreciate that.

4362
02:40:07,178 --> 02:40:07,778
Nobody wants to see how the

4363
02:40:07,778 --> 02:40:09,778
sausage is made.

4364
02:40:09,980 --> 02:40:12,380
I appreciate the lesson.

4365
02:40:14,452 --> 02:40:15,820
One of the things that I would

4366
02:40:15,820 --> 02:40:19,420
suggest or even encourage us to

4367
02:40:20,525 --> 02:40:22,694
do as city is to thanks to the

4368
02:40:22,694 --> 02:40:25,430
voters, thank you to measure e.

4369
02:40:25,430 --> 02:40:29,300
I think we have an financial

4370
02:40:32,904 --> 02:40:34,706
opportunity to look to moreen

4371
02:40:34,706 --> 02:40:36,706
navitive opportunities perhaps

4372
02:40:41,912 --> 02:40:45,116
surrounding ai or -- as a way to

4373
02:40:45,116 --> 02:40:45,750
level the traffic across to make

4374
02:40:45,750 --> 02:40:47,750
it faster.

4375
02:40:50,589 --> 02:40:52,989
Look for innovative solutions.

4376
02:40:55,920 --> 02:40:56,461
I encourage us to do that.

4377
02:40:56,461 --> 02:40:58,230
The downside to getting what we

4378
02:40:58,230 --> 02:41:00,230
asked for.

4379
02:41:02,300 --> 02:41:03,334
We asked for more retail.

4380
02:41:03,334 --> 02:41:06,934
Down side to getting that is

4381
02:41:08,907 --> 02:41:09,147
that there are more cars on the

4382
02:41:09,147 --> 02:41:11,147
road.

4383
02:41:17,480 --> 02:41:18,490
When we open up the or build the

4384
02:41:18,490 --> 02:41:19,117
onramp overpass that there be

4385
02:41:19,117 --> 02:41:21,117
helpful.

4386
02:41:23,421 --> 02:41:25,821
It wouldn't help everywhere.

4387
02:41:27,326 --> 02:41:29,326
Look at more

4388
02:41:32,398 --> 02:41:34,798
more innovative ways to

4389
02:41:35,330 --> 02:41:35,667
alleviate traffic issue.

4390
02:41:35,667 --> 02:41:37,536
>> council member robles.

4391
02:41:37,536 --> 02:41:39,536
>> great job.

4392
02:41:41,640 --> 02:41:44,142
Thank you for shedding the light

4393
02:41:44,142 --> 02:41:46,511
on timing abwhat we are looking

4394
02:41:46,511 --> 02:41:48,213
for the next coming years.

4395
02:41:48,213 --> 02:41:49,981
Appreciate your presentation.

4396
02:41:49,981 --> 02:41:51,416
>> council member brewer.

4397
02:41:51,416 --> 02:41:53,416
>> no comments.

4398
02:41:55,153 --> 02:41:56,755
I want to thank you for the

4399
02:41:56,755 --> 02:41:57,522
presentation and providing the

4400
02:41:57,522 --> 02:41:59,522
information.

4401
02:42:01,259 --> 02:42:04,859
What we see in central park.

4402
02:42:08,000 --> 02:42:08,434
A lot of strides are made on the

4403
02:42:08,434 --> 02:42:10,434
east side.

4404
02:42:11,569 --> 02:42:13,873
Especially when you look the at

4405
02:42:13,873 --> 02:42:14,773
everything south of elk grove

4406
02:42:14,773 --> 02:42:16,773
boulevard.

4407
02:42:16,942 --> 02:42:20,542
It is really good to see.

4408
02:42:22,515 --> 02:42:23,282
I want to thank the public works

4409
02:42:23,282 --> 02:42:25,282
team also.

4410
02:42:25,985 --> 02:42:26,953
Starting to see the fruits of

4411
02:42:26,953 --> 02:42:28,953
hose benefits.

4412
02:42:30,490 --> 02:42:33,192
That is a try traffic area.

4413
02:42:33,192 --> 02:42:36,792
Not much more we can say

4414
02:42:38,198 --> 02:42:40,598
regarding the train running

4415
02:42:45,705 --> 02:42:46,605
through elk grove deplorerren

4416
02:42:46,605 --> 02:42:49,575
and bottom road that wind of

4417
02:42:49,575 --> 02:42:53,175
deal with as we are growing.

4418
02:42:56,349 --> 02:42:57,518
It also goes through historic

4419
02:42:57,518 --> 02:42:59,918
old town as well.

4420
02:43:02,421 --> 02:43:03,189
A lot of good stuff in place to

4421
02:43:03,189 --> 02:43:06,789
ensure people are safe and that

4422
02:43:07,930 --> 02:43:10,930
traffic is flowing more clear.

4423
02:43:10,563 --> 02:43:12,766
The study helpings move things

4424
02:43:12,766 --> 02:43:14,766
in that direction.

4425
02:43:15,435 --> 02:43:18,271
Benefits with measure e ask to

4426
02:43:18,271 --> 02:43:20,271
do some experimenting.

4427
02:43:23,610 --> 02:43:24,610
What can we do to move a little

4428
02:43:24,610 --> 02:43:26,610
faster.

4429
02:43:28,248 --> 02:43:31,151
Given the time of day when

4430
02:43:31,151 --> 02:43:33,787
traffic is the heaviest so thank

4431
02:43:33,787 --> 02:43:34,921
you.

4432
02:43:34,921 --> 02:43:36,921
>> vice mayor.

4433
02:43:39,992 --> 02:43:40,560
>> thank you, mayor and jeff.

4434
02:43:40,560 --> 02:43:42,560
Appreciate this information.

4435
02:43:45,766 --> 02:43:46,933
It is sadly only so many of the

4436
02:43:46,933 --> 02:43:49,933
pie we can work with.

4437
02:43:50,371 --> 02:43:54,571
If we want to move majority of

4438
02:43:55,309 --> 02:43:58,909
traffic we have to ask for

4439
02:44:01,348 --> 02:44:03,500
patients if you are going to the

4440
02:44:03,500 --> 02:44:06,500
lacrosse travel not on laguna

4441
02:44:07,788 --> 02:44:09,122
and you are on cross streets we

4442
02:44:09,122 --> 02:44:12,559
ask for patients more green time

4443
02:44:12,559 --> 02:44:13,893
to the bigger traffic flow to

4444
02:44:13,893 --> 02:44:15,529
move people through.

4445
02:44:15,529 --> 02:44:18,231
The other thing is I think we

4446
02:44:18,231 --> 02:44:21,231
are trying with the e-bike

4447
02:44:22,690 --> 02:44:24,505
rentals to bring in transit,

4448
02:44:24,505 --> 02:44:28,410
looking for other ways to give

4449
02:44:28,410 --> 02:44:32,241
folks options so we are not only

4450
02:44:35,182 --> 02:44:37,918
in if cars on the road.

4451
02:44:37,918 --> 02:44:39,520
1 as we progress on those

4452
02:44:39,520 --> 02:44:42,520
things, hopefully that will help

4453
02:44:42,790 --> 02:44:44,558
in addition to what council

4454
02:44:44,558 --> 02:44:45,359
member spease referenced the

4455
02:44:45,359 --> 02:44:46,127
interchange when we get that

4456
02:44:46,127 --> 02:44:48,127
built.

4457
02:44:53,000 --> 02:44:53,334
Very good presentation, very

4458
02:44:53,334 --> 02:44:53,867
informative.

4459
02:44:53,867 --> 02:44:54,869
Thank you again.

4460
02:44:54,869 --> 02:44:56,869
>> thank you.

4461
02:44:57,438 --> 02:44:57,871
Excellent comments from my

4462
02:44:57,871 --> 02:44:59,871
colleagues here.

4463
02:45:01,375 --> 02:45:04,245
When it comes to traffic

4464
02:45:04,245 --> 02:45:07,245
congestion it is the biggest

4465
02:45:07,782 --> 02:45:08,316
thing we hear about.

4466
02:45:08,316 --> 02:45:10,316
Flip side.

4467
02:45:10,584 --> 02:45:12,584
When 91% of respondents

4468
02:45:12,954 --> 02:45:15,354
mentioned they would recommend

4469
02:45:15,522 --> 02:45:16,824
elk grove as place to live.

4470
02:45:16,824 --> 02:45:19,824
People are moving here because

4471
02:45:23,965 --> 02:45:24,932
it is a great place to live.

4472
02:45:24,932 --> 02:45:26,367
Synchronization helps move

4473
02:45:26,367 --> 02:45:28,767
traffic through the city.

4474
02:45:29,304 --> 02:45:30,305
I definitely would support other

4475
02:45:30,305 --> 02:45:32,305
innovative ideas.

4476
02:45:33,675 --> 02:45:36,311
I do believe our city looks to

4477
02:45:36,311 --> 02:45:38,913
innovation as part of our real

4478
02:45:38,913 --> 02:45:40,913
life realtime solutions.

4479
02:45:43,160 --> 02:45:46,616
I am happy with the report.

4480
02:45:48,255 --> 02:45:50,859
The other mention as chair of

4481
02:45:50,859 --> 02:45:52,160
sacrt and council member brewer

4482
02:45:52,160 --> 02:45:54,160
on sacrt.

4483
02:45:55,764 --> 02:45:57,432
Those changed batch years will

4484
02:45:57,432 --> 02:45:59,367
play a critical role to move

4485
02:45:59,367 --> 02:46:00,680
people through our greater

4486
02:46:00,680 --> 02:46:02,680
community.

4487
02:46:04,539 --> 02:46:07,909
It is a longer project that

4488
02:46:07,909 --> 02:46:10,309
doesn't happen over funding.

4489
02:46:10,645 --> 02:46:12,113
The funding is heavy lift.

4490
02:46:12,113 --> 02:46:14,113
Priority of sacrt.

4491
02:46:14,416 --> 02:46:15,951
One day when we have better

4492
02:46:15,951 --> 02:46:18,951
options to move people through

4493
02:46:19,821 --> 02:46:23,291
our region, getting them to work

4494
02:46:23,291 --> 02:46:24,526
efficiently and quickly.

4495
02:46:24,526 --> 02:46:25,761
Not quite efficient people will

4496
02:46:25,761 --> 02:46:27,761
not ride it.

4497
02:46:29,664 --> 02:46:32,660
You have to be able to get from

4498
02:46:32,660 --> 02:46:34,466
a to b quickly.

4499
02:46:34,703 --> 02:46:36,638
there are other alternatives

4500
02:46:36,638 --> 02:46:38,340
that exist as well.

4501
02:46:38,340 --> 02:46:40,340
Great presentation.

4502
02:46:41,743 --> 02:46:43,111
I like whatir have read here.

4503
02:46:43,111 --> 02:46:45,511
Thank you with that.

4504
02:46:45,981 --> 02:46:47,382
It was just a receive

4505
02:46:47,382 --> 02:46:49,382
no action required.

4506
02:46:50,886 --> 02:46:51,652
Thank you for highlighting

4507
02:46:51,652 --> 02:46:52,888
disruption

4508
02:46:52,888 --> 02:46:54,888
disruptions.

4509
02:46:56,858 --> 02:46:57,893
Those are real and get ignored.

4510
02:46:57,893 --> 02:47:00,362
In real time the disruptions.

4511
02:47:00,362 --> 02:47:02,731
That is something we should be

4512
02:47:02,731 --> 02:47:04,731
aware of.

4513
02:47:06,435 --> 02:47:10,350
Thank you for dedicating part of

4514
02:47:11,140 --> 02:47:12,410
your presentation for that.

4515
02:47:12,410 --> 02:47:14,410
Excellent job.

4516
02:47:18,247 --> 02:47:18,581
Next item.

4517

possibility of autonomous bus to

4588
02:50:13,524 --> 02:50:15,924
It is a possibility.

4589
02:50:18,290 --> 02:50:20,640
Going back to the earlier

02:50:20,640 --> 02:50:22,366

someone near and dear to my

02:50:37,814 --> 02:50:39,651
heart and probably many people

4597
02:50:39,651 --> 02:50:41,651
in this room.

4598
02:50:44,121 --> 02:50:47,659
It is hard to talk right now.

4599
02:50:47,659 --> 02:50:47,959
we lost a giant.

4600
02:50:47,959 --> 02:50:49,959
Mark jansen.

4601
02:50:51,662 --> 02:50:53,465

4603
02:50:55,834 --> 02:50:58,234
directors 20 plus years ago.

4604
02:51:01,706 --> 02:51:05,306
He was the epitome of service

4605
02:51:05,510 --> 02:51:07,479
above self, someone who was

4606
02:51:07,479 --> 02:51:09,447
deeply religious but respeced

4607
02:51:09,447 --> 02:51:11,447
all religions.

4608
02:51:12,484 --> 02:51:14,886

4609
02:51:14,886 --> 02:51:16,886
his community.

4610
02:51:17,589 --> 02:51:19,989
His family, his country.

4611
02:51:21,193 --> 02:51:24,793

02:51:38,543 --> 02:51:40,780
own daily life.

4618
02:51:40,780 --> 02:51:42,478
Kindness, respect of breaking

4619
02:51:43,882 --> 02:51:44,650
down barriers and serving

4620
02:51:44,650 --> 02:51:46,650
humanity.

4621
02:51:48,487 --> 02:51:49,288
That is how he saw himself

4622
02:51:49,288 --> 02:51:51,288
serving GOD.

4623
02:51:51,823 --> 02:51:52,857
He lived by those principles

4624
02:51:52,857 --> 02:51:54,857
every day.

02:51:56,161 --> 02:51:58,263
