1
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:10,080
Mayor Mendes, Mayor Proto-Bernika, council member broke, here, council member v. Senior, here,

2
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:33,290
council member

3
00:03:33,290 --> 00:03:37,370
The motion pressing unanimously. Thank you. Moving on to number 5A

4
00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:43,670
Presentations proclaiming recognition of film more search and rescues 80th anniversary

5
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:45,490
1946 the 26

6
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
whereas on November 13th

7
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:59,480
1946 the tragic crash of Western Airlines flight 23 on the remote snow slope swept slopes of the white mountain

8
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Semended the critical and immediate need for a permanent highly specialized wilderness rescue

9
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,440
force in the region, and we're asked it is historically documented that a data-kitty group

10
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,360
of local citizens and horsemen had already been active actively volunteering their time

11
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,280
and bet country skills to conduct search and rescue operations in the rugged terrain

12
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:23,880
of venture economy prior to this disaster. And we're as recognizing the profound courage,

13
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,060
skill, and necessity demonstrated by these volunteers during the flight-23 response

14
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:34,080
and earlier missions, Venturi County Sheriff Howard Durley stepped forward on November

15
00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:40,240
19th, 1946 to formally organize and sanctioned the group under law enforcement jurisdiction

16
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,220
and whereas under the leadership of its very first team captain, Bismarck Biz Baselot,

17
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:49,500
the filmor search and rescue team was established as a true pioneer.

18
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,880
So many in this legacy and its founding search and rescue unit in Venturi County

19
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,340
and distinguishing itself as one of the first officially sanctioned all volunteer sheriffs rescue.

20
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,780
In the State of California. And we're asked for 80 years, the members of a film or search and rescue have served an unpaid

21
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:16,820
as unpaid professionals, maintaining rigorous technical proficiency in high-angle, road rescue tracking and wilderness medicine, standing ready to deploy

22
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:26,560
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And we're asked a team routinely brave hazardous conditions, extreme weather, and the most challenging terrain across the venture counties,

23
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,400
One thousand eight hundred seventy three miles to bring the lost entered and missing safely home

24
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400
And whereas the teams impact extends far beyond the wilderness

25
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,000
demonstrating the deep devotion to community stewardship through local safety education

26
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,780
Youth outreach and decades of generous holiday programs for local families in need and we're asked to continue a service of these volunteers

27
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:56,020
represents the very best of community spirit sacrifice and enduring commitment to their salon model so others may live

28
00:05:56,020 --> 00:06:00,320
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Albert Mendus, mayor of the city of Fomor, here

29
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,900
record what recognizes in honors, Fomor, search a rescue on the Mount to this occasion

30
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:11,260
of momentous occasion of its 80th anniversary expressing deepest gratitude to its past and present

31
00:06:11,260 --> 00:06:16,440
members for eight decades of vigilant, life-saving protection and self-service to the citizens

32
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,300
of venture accounting.

33
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:21,060
Proclate this 25th day, August 26th,

34
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:29,620
like 23 years.

35
00:06:32,690 --> 00:06:40,550
In 1946, and they are going to present this as one of the 29 correct

36
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:41,030
Erica.

37
00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:43,330
They're having a bar review.

38
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:46,050
I believe that's correct, Mayor.

39
00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:48,710
Can double check the data if you need me to?

40
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:54,800
And Rick Neil, there's a reason to do this one.

41
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:13,460
Yes, so it's Saturday, August 29th at 11 am at the Pyru Petroleum Club in

42
00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:14,060
Right, Park?

43
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Do they ever get that?

44
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:17,780
Great.

45
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,680
Thank you.

46
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,500
So moving on to item six public comments, and we do have one speaker, but before we begin

47
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,400
the public comment, I want to explain how the section works, the meeting.

48
00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:32,780
Each speaker will have three minutes to address the council under the Brown Act.

49
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,320
The council is generally prohibited from discussing or acting on items that are not on tonight's agenda.

50
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:42,580
This means that while we welcome and value your comments, council members will not be able to respond.

51
00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:46,740
That's follow-up questions or engage in back and forth dialogue during this time.

52
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,400
We are listening carefully and your comments become part of the public record.

53
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:56,140
If your comment relates to an item not on tonight's agenda, state law allows a brief

54
00:07:56,140 --> 00:08:02,700
response to clarify factual matters or refer the items for future consideration, but no

55
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:05,080
substance of discussion or decision can happen tonight.

56
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,140
With that being said, we'll begin the public comments.

57
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:11,540
Yvonne Bister, welcome Yvonne.

58
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,790
Hello everybody, good evening.

59
00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:20,970
I'm here to give an update of the film or library.

60
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:22,690
I'm here from the film or library.

61
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:27,090
And most of you are familiar with Yvonne Bister.

62
00:08:28,190 --> 00:08:31,790
So we're winding down summer per the calendar.

63
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:36,750
We're winding down summer transitioning to the school year.

64
00:08:37,470 --> 00:08:39,230
Quite busy in the afternoon with students.

65
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:46,050
a lot of homeschooled scholars during the day at the library, making use of what we have to offer there,

66
00:08:46,190 --> 00:08:50,850
adults coming in, people coming in just to escape the heat as well. We are a cooling center,

67
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:56,950
very nice in there, so if you want to stop by this cold down, you're very welcome.

68
00:08:58,170 --> 00:09:03,730
Let me see new fiscal year, we're doing our book ordering. I want to thank the city of film

69
00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:10,230
for continued support. We have a really nice selection of books and we continue to grow. I think

70
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:15,710
wasn't going to thank you to your support. The community is also very supportive of the library.

71
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:22,970
We continue on with our ongoing programs, Master Gardner. We have once a month. We have a Pokemon Club

72
00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:29,190
that's new. And it's actually led by a Pokemon Professor. It's certified Pokemon Professor.

73
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:33,630
I'm learning a lot more as we go along. I'd be able to learn how to play the board game.

74
00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:52,750
And we'll pause for reading and then we have the ongoing various arts and crafts and different activities going on this evening right now there's a fiber arts group who's meeting there there right now and I just wanted to say hi and just say please stop by when you can if you don't have a library card we will set you up.

75
00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:59,890
We've had city council over before the mayor or you know to do readings and we really appreciate that anybody

76
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,320
That would ever like to just come and join in any program or have ideas for programs. We've definitely

77
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,760
welcome. That is also okay. Thank you. Thank you.

78
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Thank you. Thank you. Can you say your hours for the audience? Because I know that there's some days

79
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,580
where you start at 10 and others where you start later. So our hours, well, our Monday and Tuesday

80
00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:31,520
from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday is from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. Thursday Friday and Saturday

81
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:38,120
is noon to 5 p.m. So on Wednesday morning's going to open at 10, that's when we have

82
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,760
story time focused on ages 0 through 5. And the later hours on Monday and Tuesday, I think

83
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,880
help the people who are getting off work and can come to the evenings and look one way till

84
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,560
Saturday. So hopefully we're able to reach everybody. We do have what we call express hours.

85
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,780
If you upgrade your library card, we can set it so you can come in during specific

86
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:05,060
express hours about two hours before the library opens. Staff is not available,

87
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,980
but you can come in and do pick up your books and enjoy the kids area.

88
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Things like that. So thank you for reminding me about that.

89
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,980
Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you everybody.

90
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:22,880
Moving on to number seven, City Council reports, recommendations, comments, committee commission, and board reports.

91
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:27,480
Council member Gernica.

92
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:36,340
So, I attended the meeting of the Fimo Pairu Groundwater Sustainability Board.

93
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:47,860
Nothing really made you to report other than that the United Water Conservation District is moving forward with a bond measure in order to avoid

94
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,460
drastic rate increases that would occur if they did not do it because basically it's a

95
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:58,240
pay as you go so if they had a pay for all three hundred million dollars in the first few

96
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,560
years during construction it would it would make the water extremely expensive to pull out

97
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,620
of the ground so and again these are these are the improvements to the Santa Felicia dam

98
00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:11,480
otherwise known as the pyru dam and it's to improve the spill with the size of the spill

99
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,760
way as well as the overflow for the for the for the main part of the dam so that's the main

100
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,600
part of it, there are actually three projects, but the majority of it is for the pirate down.

101
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,080
Thank you.

102
00:12:24,220 --> 00:12:24,780
Do you have some room to register?

103
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:30,640
I attended the soccer fest a few weekends ago.

104
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:32,420
Good outcome.

105
00:12:32,860 --> 00:12:36,460
There were some concerns regarding the park and some safety concerns.

106
00:12:37,620 --> 00:12:42,980
So I took those concerns to the Public Works Director and also the City Manager.

107
00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:47,740
So luckily we were able to get some resolutions and

108
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:51,980
and reassurance on those concerns that we had within the field.

109
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Also, a ten of the Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance.

110
00:12:59,540 --> 00:13:03,980
Nothing big too to report there just a couple of reminders of

111
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:05,660
it's going to be hot.

112
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,660
And ways to save energy, but also keep cool.

113
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:14,760
They also have the talks about having more

114
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:22,320
are shade structures in filmware, and also some EV talking about charging as we have, as

115
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,800
they've been working on this project, and in addition to that there were some other presentations

116
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:38,300
about contractors and installing heat pumps and incentives that they can have, and that's

117
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:43,700
a $500 incentive for those who can go online and apply and see if they're phone, if

118
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:51,140
house is eligible for some upgrades, some energy saving upgrades. I also attended the

119
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:56,200
economic development collaborative meeting, nothing to report there, I'm to talk

120
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,460
about the the reports that they had and a couple of comments that they had, but

121
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:06,460
outside of that, that was pretty much it. Thank you. And my I serve on the VCAS

122
00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:11,780
committee, the Windsor County Animal Shelter, that meeting was canceled, but so nothing

123
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:13,020
for me to report.

124
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,780
Councilmember Brody?

125
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:17,440
Thank you.

126
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,120
On August 13th, I attended the

127
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,100
Museum at the Vittura County Transportation Commission,

128
00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:29,600
a meeting for the subcommittee of Calvans and

129
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,980
Calvans for those who aren't familiar with it.

130
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,140
Is a transportation committee or group of

131
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:50,200
It's not 1415 county-wide program that BCTC participates in and primarily it was formed to improve rural and agricultural transportation safety.

132
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:52,960
Back in I think it was around 2012.

133
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,980
But they've, so I said in on that meeting the primary person who sits.

134
00:15:00,940 --> 00:15:22,720
First of all, I was able to do that. It was really interesting. The primary issue that they are dealing with right now, though, is the financial issues, which is they get a lot of fake funding. And, you know, just being aware what's going on financially with things across the state.

135
00:15:23,780 --> 00:15:27,020
about Cal Dance is also being hit with that as well.

136
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,000
So they're trying to work around that, looking for funding,

137
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,980
additional funding to keep the program up and running.

138
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:42,300
So I did that on August 13th, and then I have my porch talk tomorrow at

139
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:43,220
between six and eight.

140
00:15:43,220 --> 00:15:44,960
And my house again, open to anybody,

141
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:49,200
resident of the city of Filmore, wants to come and talk about anything

142
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,980
Filmore related, bring your question, bring your comments.

143
00:15:53,920 --> 00:16:05,280
And then I also wanted to say that, you know, last week I participated in our special council meeting via Zoom and I was really appreciative to be able to do that.

144
00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:13,640
And that made it a lot easier for me to see what was happening at the very important meeting where, you know, I think most of everyone knows what occurred.

145
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:26,400
I find a lot come with that which was really great and I'm really thrilled that that boat with the way that we were hoping it would go so that we were able to save quite a bit of funding for the city of Fillmore.

146
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:34,880
So, the more money on our coffers because the three of us who are up for council do not have to campaign, we have nobody running against it.

147
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:59,680
So, and then the other thing that I missed by being out of town last week is I missed the grant opening of Sonic, and that, I mean, I've been waiting for Sonic to open since the beginning of time, and to not be here for that point at that point time, oh well, but anyway, it was a productive week, a couple of weeks, thank you.

148
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:07,100
Thank you. Councilmember Vius in your. Thank you. So I don't have a report out for the Ventura Regional Sanitation District.

149
00:17:07,580 --> 00:17:11,280
We're meeting next Thursday. So at our next meeting, I'll have something there.

150
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:19,500
But I do want to mention that last Tuesday and I mentioned this briefly at our special meeting last Wednesday.

151
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:28,600
But the previous Tuesday on August 18th, the Board of Supervisors voted regarding the future of Santa Paula Hospital.

152
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:38,320
and they voted for a particular option that would be to not build a new smaller scale down

153
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:45,340
microhospital along with an emergency room, but to move forward with in medical office buildings

154
00:17:45,340 --> 00:17:54,060
and expanded access to care. And what that means is an urgent care that would have a pharmacy,

155
00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:01,560
laboratory imaging and I think a couple of other particular specialties that are not usually

156
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:10,440
with an urgent care. So I attended a speaking just as a citizen, as did our mayor, not on behalf

157
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:16,180
of the film or but we did provide some comments to the Board of Supervisors. And what I would

158
00:18:16,180 --> 00:18:23,040
like to ask and this is what I'm asking here as a recommendation for us as a governing body

159
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:33,960
to bring the closure of the hospital and the next steps that the county's planning for an agenda item.

160
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:44,760
And basically just so that all five of us in the community is caught up on what is happened and what looks to be happening to the future.

161
00:18:44,760 --> 00:19:13,580
and allow us to maybe have a particular idea brainstorming and I say this because the, to their credit, the Ventura County healthcare agency is very much, although this is the vote by the supervisors, the healthcare agency is very open to continuing to discuss other potential possibilities, meaning maybe other partners, other hospital systems, private partnerships,

162
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:20,160
tips that could potentially take place and that could maybe happen in this next three-year

163
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,540
period, where perhaps in the end there might still be the possibility.

164
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:32,300
And this is just myself talking of being able to keep the hospital or again have some things

165
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:33,260
scaled down.

166
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:38,600
A lot of the speakers who spoke, majority of the speakers who spoke to the Board of Supervisors

167
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:47,640
are very passionate about how difficult it will be for us here in Filmware, Santa Clara Valley,

168
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:54,000
Santa Paula, to access emergency care with the closure of the hospital emergency room.

169
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,980
So what I'm asking is just to agenda this and perhaps just to have a-

170
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,900
Sort of a summary from staff and allow us as council members to see if there's some ideas.

171
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:22,180
One other thing I want to mention is that the body that's sort of like the community body that's been giving feedback to the Ventura County healthcare agency, the county, about the hospitals called the Blue Ribbon Task Force.

172
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:26,140
And it's been meeting for years, you know, at least five or more years.

173
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,140
And, um, informally, I've attended, um, and I know we've had like, um,

174
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,280
our council member, um, Chris Corolla also attended a few of those meetings,

175
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,940
and I'm sure others of us have maybe attended or gotten updates.

176
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,700
Anyway, the blue ribbon task force is going to continue to meet.

177
00:20:42,940 --> 00:20:45,960
So the county, um, to their credit is continuing to get that feedback.

178
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:46,900
I think it would be great.

179
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:50,240
And maybe we could have a brainstorming session and just see what, you know,

180
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:54,020
from leadership here in the city, what we might be able to contribute.

181
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,880
I think I'd be supportive of putting that in the agenda.

182
00:21:01,950 --> 00:21:03,990
Anyone else? I see a nod, okay. It's two. Okay.

183
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:08,550
All right. Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

184
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:09,890
Do you have an abdirection?

185
00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:14,690
No, that's fine. I'm also just going to let the council know that when we bring this

186
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:21,430
staff report back. It would be good to memorialize and create like a not-all committee for

187
00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:30,110
continuation of feedback to the Blue Ribbon Task Force and so we'll draft a staff report in a way

188
00:21:30,110 --> 00:21:36,950
where we're recommending you to select like a primary and an alternate in case the primary is not

189
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:43,330
available and then provide you with the ability to brainstorm and have a free discussion.

190
00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:45,990
Thank you.

191
00:21:46,150 --> 00:21:48,810
Thank you.

192
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:50,850
Moving on to number eight, consent calendar.

193
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:56,130
Here we get a motion to approve.

194
00:21:57,310 --> 00:21:57,430
Second.

195
00:21:58,130 --> 00:21:58,570
All second.

196
00:21:58,910 --> 00:22:00,270
Here we get a motion to second on favor.

197
00:22:00,850 --> 00:22:01,010
Hi.

198
00:22:02,010 --> 00:22:02,610
Any opposed?

199
00:22:04,150 --> 00:22:05,390
Motion passes unanimously.

200
00:22:05,670 --> 00:22:07,110
Thank you.

201
00:22:08,090 --> 00:22:09,650
Moving on to item nine.

202
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:10,190
New business.

203
00:22:10,990 --> 00:22:11,190
Nine.

204
00:22:11,870 --> 00:22:15,510
Put me to one council member to the Board of Directors for the Clean Power Alliance.

205
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:40,660
Thank you, Mayor. That's my item. As you're aware, the City of Filmware is a member agency of the Clean Power Alliance or CPA, which is a joint powers authority that provides electricity supply options to participate in communities in Southern California and so as a CPA member agency, the city is required to

206
00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:47,320
need representatives to serve on the CPA Board of Directors and under the CPA

207
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,900
Joint Powers Agreement, the governing body of each member agency must appoint and

208
00:22:52,900 --> 00:23:00,060
designate in writing one regular director and may appoint up to two alternate directors.

209
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:06,540
Alternate directors are authorized to vote on matters before the CPA Board when the

210
00:23:06,540 --> 00:23:14,400
director is absent. I'm CPA requires a regular director to be an elected or appointed member

211
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,380
of the member's agency governing body and for the city of film or the regular director must

212
00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:28,020
therefore be a member of the city council. CPA provides greater flexibility for the appointment

213
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:34,000
of an alternate director and the alternate director may either be another council member,

214
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:53,320
A city staff member, a member of an advisory body to the city council or a member of the public with demonstrated knowledge of energy related matters through a significant industry regulatory academic nonprofit experience.

215
00:23:53,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Only a regular director or alternate director formally appointed by the city council may vote at the CPA board meetings.

216
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:10,120
If the city council appoints a city position together with a designated as an alternate director,

217
00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:20,780
then CPA requires that the individual serving as a designated also be specifically identified in the appointment documentation.

218
00:24:20,780 --> 00:24:38,420
So following your decision tonight, the Council City staff will provide the CPA clerk of the board with the required information that you decide tonight, and then they also have established training for board members.

219
00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:44,520
I wanted to remind you that we are about to go to the League of Cities and so the required

220
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:51,120
Ethics training the AB 1 2 3 4 and the two hours of fiscal and financial training

221
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:59,580
We will be meeting that requirement as we will be attending the training at 8 a.m. on Wednesday the 23rd and so that will be

222
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,340
We can care of and you don't have to worry about that, whoever you use the left.

223
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:16,640
Upon completion of the board selection, there will also be an orientation process which will coordinate with whoever the Board of Directors are and then the Clerk of the Board for CPA.

224
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:26,620
I also took the opportunity to remind you that the rate to your selection will be happening at the beginning of next calendar year.

225
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:35,000
And that is just because we want to make sure that you have a more accurate tier or cost

226
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:42,140
at the time, CPA is not going to be aware of the final rates closer to December.

227
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:49,260
And so if you were to select that tier, you know, sometime next month or October, then the

228
00:25:49,260 --> 00:25:55,100
rates might drastically change and we feel like we want you to make a better educated decision

229
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:56,980
with more accurate data.

230
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,580
So for their team, they recommend it that we wait

231
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:04,080
until February, March of next year.

232
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,840
But it's already calendar, and our reader will make sure

233
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,740
to bring that to you at that given time.

234
00:26:11,260 --> 00:26:13,960
There is no direct fiscal impact for this,

235
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,360
and that concludes my presentation.

236
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,880
Happy to answer any questions.

237
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:17,700
Thank you.

238
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:18,760
Do we have questions?

239
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,280
Or do we have anybody that really, really wants to answer

240
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,720
on this report?

241
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:31,500
I'll raise my hand because I, you know, as you may know from my history or being on the council,

242
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,960
I've been working with the Clean Power Alliance and I would like to be the first serving board member.

243
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,420
I would second.

244
00:26:40,980 --> 00:26:42,280
All right.

245
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Does anybody want to be an alternate?

246
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:45,680
All right.

247
00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:46,320
I'll raise my hand.

248
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:46,840
Okay.

249
00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:48,460
If you want to be an alternate, we're going in.

250
00:26:48,460 --> 00:26:48,660
Okay.

251
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,600
I'll be an alternate.

252
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,140
You'll be the second.

253
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:51,660
Okay.

254
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,540
Okay.

255
00:26:53,540 --> 00:26:54,540
Thank you.

256
00:26:55,260 --> 00:26:56,700
So that means it.

257
00:26:56,940 --> 00:26:57,420
There are motion.

258
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:02,520
So I'd like to make a motion that Christina Vustin, your be the primary.

259
00:27:03,180 --> 00:27:08,180
I would be the alternate and Albert, you'd be the second alternate on the pink power

260
00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:10,220
lines voting number.

261
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,200
We'll get a motion.

262
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,180
Is there a second?

263
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:12,600
Second.

264
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,300
The motion, second, all in favour?

265
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:14,840
Aye.

266
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:15,940
Any opposed?

267
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:17,400
Okay.

268
00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:18,620
Motion passes in an absolute.

269
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:19,100
Thank you.

270
00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:19,420
All right.

271
00:27:19,660 --> 00:27:20,520
Thank you.

272
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:21,960
Moving on to 9B.

273
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:30,000
consideration of ordinance number 26-100 to amend chapter 12.11 of the Fillmore Municipal

274
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,920
Coates update the city's wastewater pre-treatment requirements.

275
00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:53,120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

276
00:27:57,370 --> 00:28:03,370
Staff is requesting the City Council introduced the first reading of ordinance number 26-1000,

277
00:28:04,270 --> 00:28:09,430
which will update chapter 12-11 of the Fillmore Municipal Coates governing the city's wastewater

278
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:18,990
treatment requirements. The proposed amendment will are intended to bring the city's

279
00:28:18,990 --> 00:28:22,690
pre-treatment compliance regulation and alignment with current state and federal

280
00:28:22,690 --> 00:28:28,990
requirements under the Clean Water Act, the National Pluton Distar Judimination

281
00:28:28,990 --> 00:28:34,210
Systems, which I'll refer to as NPDS in this report in the California Water Code.

282
00:28:34,210 --> 00:28:44,970
The existing chapter 12-11 was last comprehensively updated in 1989, rather, in no longer

283
00:28:44,970 --> 00:28:47,710
reflects the subsequent regulatory changes.

284
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:57,790
The ordinance reorganizes and modernizes chapter 12-11 and incorporates updated pre-treatment

285
00:28:57,790 --> 00:29:00,110
technology and regulatory requirements.

286
00:29:00,710 --> 00:29:04,830
Major changes include updating definitions and terminology.

287
00:29:06,170 --> 00:29:13,850
It provides clarification to the city's pre-treatment program objectives, including preventing

288
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:20,470
interference and pass through a pollutants, protecting treatment, plant, personnel and

289
00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:27,690
public, regulating non-domestic users, conducting monitoring and enforcement and maintaining

290
00:29:27,690 --> 00:29:29,910
compliance with the city's NPDS permit.

291
00:29:31,690 --> 00:29:37,850
It establishes procedures for industrial users, including identification of users, monitoring

292
00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:46,190
and sampling, review of self-reporting or self-monitoring reports, annual inspections, significant

293
00:29:46,190 --> 00:29:51,510
industrial users, slow discharge controls, and investigation of non-compliance.

294
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:57,450
It updates pre-treatment facility requirements for industrial users, including grease

295
00:29:57,450 --> 00:29:59,970
traps, a gravity.

296
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,740
We separating devices and other pre-treatment systems. The ordinance also shifts specific regulatory

297
00:30:07,740 --> 00:30:11,060
responsibility from the city manager to the public work's director.

298
00:30:14,150 --> 00:30:16,270
Enhanced enforcement authority,

299
00:30:17,290 --> 00:30:23,730
including the ability to deny or place conditions on industrial discharges required compliance

300
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:30,490
with pre-treatment standards and establishes individual or general control mechanisms and

301
00:30:30,490 --> 00:30:33,010
to remedies for non-compliance.

302
00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:43,310
It also provides due process and emergency enforcement provisions, including notices and the

303
00:30:43,310 --> 00:30:50,930
opportunity for a hearing before penalties are imposed, while allowing immediate action

304
00:30:50,930 --> 00:30:57,210
for discharge presented and immediate or imminent threat to public health welfare in the

305
00:30:57,210 --> 00:31:00,550
environment or operation of the treatment system.

306
00:31:02,410 --> 00:31:05,390
There's no direct fiscal impact associated with the

307
00:31:05,390 --> 00:31:06,790
introduction of this ordinance.

308
00:31:07,590 --> 00:31:11,290
The ordinance is intended to support protection of

309
00:31:11,290 --> 00:31:13,650
the city's waste water treatment systems.

310
00:31:14,190 --> 00:31:17,550
The public health and receiving waters by

311
00:31:17,550 --> 00:31:19,790
preventing pollutants from entering the city's

312
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:22,630
public treatment works.

313
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:33,590
or the P, the OW, T, I'm sorry, O, P, T, P, O, W, S, sorry about that.

314
00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:38,690
The recommendation is again, the City Council introduced the first reading of ordinance

315
00:31:38,690 --> 00:31:46,970
20, or 26, 1000 updating chapter 12, 11, the Filmemister Code and modernizing the city's wastewater

316
00:31:46,970 --> 00:31:50,650
pre-treatment requirements and maintaining compliance with the applicable state and thorough

317
00:31:50,650 --> 00:31:51,210
standards.

318
00:31:52,790 --> 00:31:54,950
That concludes my report and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

319
00:31:59,550 --> 00:31:59,810
Okay.

320
00:32:00,550 --> 00:32:01,830
Is there a motion?

321
00:32:02,430 --> 00:32:02,690
Can I motion?

322
00:32:03,850 --> 00:32:04,070
Okay.

323
00:32:04,850 --> 00:32:10,290
I'll move that the city adopt ordinance number 26-1,000.

324
00:32:10,910 --> 00:32:13,290
In ordinance of the City Council of the City of Filmware, California,

325
00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:15,670
update in portions of the city's wastewater,

326
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,310
pre-treatment requirements.

327
00:32:18,290 --> 00:32:18,850
Here we have a motion.

328
00:32:18,850 --> 00:32:19,490
in their second.

329
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:22,390
The motion in the second, all in favor?

330
00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:23,210
All right.

331
00:32:23,450 --> 00:32:23,950
Any opposed?

332
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:25,770
The motion passed in the answer.

333
00:32:26,430 --> 00:32:29,690
Joy, just want to thank you on that for updating our municipal code.

334
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:31,970
It's really important to do that.

335
00:32:32,090 --> 00:32:32,810
Thank you.

336
00:32:32,930 --> 00:32:33,490
Thank you.

337
00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:34,490
Thank you all.

338
00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:38,890
Moving on to item nine C, adoption of plans, specification,

339
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:43,750
and cost estimate for project specification number 25 dash.

340
00:32:44,290 --> 00:32:48,070
0, 3, B, well number 10, equipe B and pump

341
00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:52,850
How is construction project and authorization better ties for construction beds?

342
00:32:55,010 --> 00:33:00,310
Thank you. With this report, the City Council is being asked to adopt the planned

343
00:33:00,310 --> 00:33:07,270
specification and engineers cost estimate for the project specification number 2503B,

344
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:13,950
which is the Will 10 Equipping and Pump House Construction Project, located at Dolores State Park

345
00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:24,490
and authorize staff to advertise the project for open competitive construction bids in accordance with film armulisable code chapter 540.

346
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:35,290
On January 14, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the design of well 10.

347
00:33:35,290 --> 00:33:44,410
The project being constructed in two phases, phase A, which is also known as 20503A,

348
00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:53,930
included the drilling of well-ten and the demolition of the abandoned, now abandoned well-five at the Lower State Park.

349
00:33:55,590 --> 00:34:00,390
Phase A was completed on June 30, 2026,

350
00:34:00,390 --> 00:34:08,070
and the City Council is subsequently authorized staff to file the notice of completion, which we have.

351
00:34:09,230 --> 00:34:14,330
Phase B, also known as Project Specification 2503B,

352
00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:19,130
will complete the development and equipping of well number 10.

353
00:34:19,930 --> 00:34:25,210
The construction scope includes construction of the pump house around the wellhead,

354
00:34:25,210 --> 00:34:30,510
electrical and generator rooms, chemical containment facilities, access driveway, communication

355
00:34:30,510 --> 00:34:38,890
tower and closure, installation of the generator, well-head pump and motor set, or pump set,

356
00:34:40,810 --> 00:34:47,630
column pipe and headwork distribution piping. The project plans have been reviewed and approved

357
00:34:47,630 --> 00:34:55,110
by the city's building in safety department and the film or fire department. The engineers

358
00:34:55,110 --> 00:34:59,970
cost estimate for the construction of phase B is a tad under two.

359
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:16,440
The staff is also requesting the city council's authorization to advertise the project for, you know, the, the advertising, the completed construction documents for open, competitive construction bids.

360
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,240
The proposed schedule is advertised the project

361
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:24,740
this coming Thursday on August 20, the 7th opening bids

362
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:29,340
on October 1st and then bringing the contract

363
00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:33,200
or the authorization to award the contract back to the city council

364
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,480
on October 13th.

365
00:35:35,620 --> 00:35:37,900
And then we're anticipating construction

366
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:42,680
beginning November of this year and continuing until August

367
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:49,720
of 2027, with the notice of completion estimated to be on September 15, 2027.

368
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:58,820
There is a very long construction timeline there, and that's primarily due to procurement of equipment

369
00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:03,500
that has a very long lead time.

370
00:36:05,260 --> 00:36:10,100
This project is included in the adopted fiscal year 2627 budget.

371
00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:17,960
following the bid opening, and again, we'll bring it back on October 13th this city council

372
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:24,240
for a recommendation to aware the contract staff will provide the city council with bid analysis,

373
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:34,100
budget breakdown when the construction contract should be, when we present that.

374
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:47,800
The strategic alignment, the project supports the City Council's strategic priority to upgrade the public infrastructure and investing in the citywide infrastructure that supports the safety and accessibility to the community.

375
00:36:48,760 --> 00:37:02,760
It also enhances the city's infrastructure and innovation for core value by investing in the reliability and modern infrastructure that supports the economic viability and quality of life.

376
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:09,160
Staff is, again, recommending the City Council adopts the plant's specification and

377
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:14,940
an estimate for project specification, 25, 0, 3b, and authorized staff to advertise a project

378
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:17,880
for construction bids.

379
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:21,780
That concludes my report and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

380
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:22,920
Thank you so much.

381
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:23,920
Thank you.

382
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:25,160
Thank you.

383
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:25,940
Thank you for that.

384
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:32,320
So my question is to do with what's going on with the water, I guess, in the meantime.

385
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,400
So we finished the construction of the actual well below ground.

386
00:37:37,940 --> 00:37:40,080
I understand this is basically everything above ground.

387
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,340
And so what is the current status of the wells that we have in Operation

388
00:37:44,340 --> 00:37:48,160
and how does that fit with bringing this well online?

389
00:37:48,940 --> 00:37:55,540
So well seven and eights are operating as, you know, as expected.

390
00:37:57,540 --> 00:38:01,640
We don't have no problems at this point, but it's day by day.

391
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,920
Okay, so they're handling the full load of the city.

392
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:05,840
Yes.

393
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:06,920
And then relative.

394
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:14,080
Well, 10 comes online, fully online, sometime in mid, year next year, then we'll be able

395
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,560
to do some maintenance on the two, currently operating wells.

396
00:38:18,740 --> 00:38:19,260
Is that correct?

397
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:20,840
Yes, sir.

398
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:26,040
You know, with the last two years in the issues that we've encountered with seven and

399
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,100
eight, we've got them pretty well dialed in.

400
00:38:30,580 --> 00:38:38,520
This last two weeks, we changed out the chlorination pump to a more efficient pump.

401
00:38:38,580 --> 00:38:48,980
So we're always looking at ways to keep our wells good and functioning without interruption.

402
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:56,380
So you're also, you're bringing up a good point about, you know, in light of this week being, you know,

403
00:38:56,380 --> 00:39:05,380
heat wave in our two wells keeping up. They are keeping up, thankfully, with a demand from

404
00:39:05,380 --> 00:39:07,320
the public without any restrictions.

405
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,900
So so far in the evening and given this time period

406
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:23,740
we're also in a peak offset period with energy. So at four o'clock our wells are shut

407
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:29,420
off to reduce the energy cost that would otherwise be hitting the city.

408
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:35,900
So their program to stay off between four and nine today, every day, during the week.

409
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,380
On the weekends, that restriction is taken off for our plan with SEE.

410
00:39:43,020 --> 00:39:50,520
So what happens by Nanoclock tonight, our trigger point when the wells would normally

411
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:57,760
kick-on actually gets a lot lower in the reservoir, a couple feet lower. So 20, you know, we use

412
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,960
a reservoir number full of...

413
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,040
Three, rather, to gauge, I'm sorry, four, to gauge when our wells get turned on and then when they kick off.

414
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:16,720
So when our reservoir four gets to 23 feet of storage, the wells are programmed to kick on.

415
00:40:18,060 --> 00:40:28,660
So with the peak period hitting at four today and by the time it hits, not a clock tonight, our reservoir four will get down to 19 feet.

416
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:50,380
And then they'll run in what we saw today, given the heat wave that we're in, they ran for a solid, I think it was 16 hours and then they shut off and then, you know, after the morning period when everybody's taking showers and, you know, off to work and whatnot.

417
00:40:51,500 --> 00:41:00,820
Our reservoirs get to capacity at 25-5 reservoirs for four gets to 25-5 and it shuts our wells off.

418
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,740
So they get a little bit of a rest period.

419
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,860
They won't, you know, by the time that they're ready to kick on again, it's right at 4 p.m.

420
00:41:08,980 --> 00:41:14,600
So we're not going to come on until probably, you know, when it at 9 o'clock tonight.

421
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:21,380
So it's able to keep up, you know, we have plenty of space between that,

422
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,000
got for bid.

423
00:41:24,260 --> 00:41:29,460
There's an event, you know, one of the wells comes off line, you know, we're going to be dipping

424
00:41:29,460 --> 00:41:32,720
to a point where we're, you know, getting a little bit anxious.

425
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:39,460
So we're not there, you know, and we're looking pretty solid, but getting well 10 on will

426
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:46,320
is over this critical period where we're really intensely watching our performance and our demand

427
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560
and our supply curves.

428
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:50,100
Great.

429
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:50,960
Thank you.

430
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,760
Thank you so much.

431
00:41:51,940 --> 00:41:52,220
We have to.

432
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:53,220
That's where we're going.

433
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:53,980
Yeah.

434
00:41:54,020 --> 00:41:57,800
First of all, just listening to you talk Joe, I don't know how you do it.

435
00:41:57,900 --> 00:41:58,500
I really don't.

436
00:41:58,940 --> 00:42:02,500
You've got so much on your plate and you run such an efficient department.

437
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:08,360
And you're so knowledgeable about this all this off the top of your head, which impresses me.

438
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:17,660
But even one question, I just wanted to confirm the fiscal impact of this, so that 2.45 was,

439
00:42:18,380 --> 00:42:22,460
but did that same amount, but was budgeted for the 26.27?

440
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:23,960
Yes, ma'am.

441
00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:29,720
And we anticipated an initial cost at 4 million.

442
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:36,180
And so we used about one and a half on drilling and destroying well five.

443
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:41,540
So, we're right there at our budget of 2.5.

444
00:42:42,060 --> 00:42:44,480
There are other things that we got at count four,

445
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,360
which will probably get us over that 4 million.

446
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,180
I think it's 4 million.

447
00:42:49,940 --> 00:42:52,400
I checked with Deborah before I brought this to you guys,

448
00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:53,880
and she said, yeah, we're good.

449
00:42:54,860 --> 00:42:56,380
So, it's her fault if we're not.

450
00:42:58,340 --> 00:43:03,680
No, but I still need to program in things like construction management.

451
00:43:04,340 --> 00:43:12,280
So when we're going through, we want a good team that's overseeing the contractor and making sure everything is marching along.

452
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,500
And then, obviously, the contingencies, we don't know what bids are going to come back at.

453
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:18,660
This is our estimate.

454
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,920
You know, they could, you know, I hate to say this and be so negative.

455
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:26,480
But in all likelihood, it's going to be over.

456
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:32,180
You know, as we're seeing with the way the construction world is today.

457
00:43:32,180 --> 00:43:36,460
Well, I think I can speak on behalf of the other council members, and it's good for you to

458
00:43:36,460 --> 00:43:40,460
share that with us that you're very like little gover, prepare us ahead of time instead of

459
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:46,180
say rise. So I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Council member Rodriguez.

460
00:43:47,460 --> 00:43:54,840
Just to confirm, we have two functional wells correct. Yes, sir. Okay. Good. I'd like to make

461
00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:01,160
a comment too. I want to thank the city for ensuring the safety of our residents who do

462
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:07,920
to Dolors Day Park. I did walk by there with my family and my animals and saw that you guys

463
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,700
put some fencing and I know there were some concerns with that so thank you Mayor for also bringing

464
00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:18,760
that to the attention of the city. I'm just excited to start seeing the progress with the

465
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:26,140
with the well and the construction and I did see that the the gazibles up which looks really nice and

466
00:44:26,140 --> 00:44:30,500
excited. I know we talked about it in the last meeting about painting the structures there so that's

467
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:34,760
going to be very excited to see where we're going and not seeing more of a dates of when it's

468
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,280
going to be projected to potentially be completed.

469
00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:39,240
So thank you, Joe.

470
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:39,820
You're welcome.

471
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:47,600
And today, the crew started demolishing the above ground structure for well five.

472
00:44:48,020 --> 00:44:50,060
So pretty soon, that's going to be leveled.

473
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:51,280
We're not going to see that.

474
00:44:51,340 --> 00:44:52,620
It's going to be returned to grass.

475
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,480
So we're looking forward to that.

476
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:56,380
Thank you.

477
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:57,860
Councillor Rubius and York.

478
00:44:58,020 --> 00:44:58,320
Yes.

479
00:44:58,340 --> 00:44:59,060
Thank you.

480
00:44:59,060 --> 00:44:59,980
Just one end.

481
00:45:03,540 --> 00:45:13,880
Thank you so much for bringing the technical public works language down to Layton's turns for us to understand, and for the public to understand. So we appreciate that, Joe, and all of your hard work.

482
00:45:15,260 --> 00:45:23,620
So my question is about timeline and maybe participation of our wet winter that we may have.

483
00:45:23,620 --> 00:45:30,480
Do you think the procurement is going to take such a while that perhaps they might not even have that equipment

484
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,320
until the end of winter or so or, you know, just want to see what you thought about that

485
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,220
and may a super El Nino push things back a bit.

486
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:47,100
Yeah, the weather is never our friend in construction, you know, especially when we're outdoors doing stuff.

487
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:55,660
The contractor is given, I can't remember exactly, but I think it's like 65 working days.

488
00:45:56,940 --> 00:45:58,560
So they're held to that timeline.

489
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:04,330
That does not include weather delays.

490
00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:07,710
So if there's rain in a day, we don't count those.

491
00:46:07,950 --> 00:46:09,630
We don't count that day as a working day.

492
00:46:10,990 --> 00:46:16,810
And then conditions, so if the grounds really muddy and stuff, we don't count those as

493
00:46:19,750 --> 00:46:29,490
So, I mean, I don't, to get to your question, the procurement period is not going to change because of weather.

494
00:46:30,090 --> 00:46:32,270
What will change is the actual construction.

495
00:46:33,130 --> 00:46:38,210
So, they can, you know, as soon as we issue that notice proceed, they're often running.

496
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:41,350
They're ordering whatever we need for the project.

497
00:46:41,350 --> 00:46:47,170
So, it's literally, you know, some of the longer lead times is like the generator.

498
00:46:47,830 --> 00:46:53,750
And we saw this when we were doing the adult, active adult center generator, that took

499
00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:57,910
like a year and a half, that got hit by the COVID delay and stuff like that.

500
00:46:58,130 --> 00:47:04,170
I don't anticipate that happening on this one, but the construction team is also working

501
00:47:04,170 --> 00:47:06,710
on neighboring wells and other cities.

502
00:47:06,710 --> 00:47:11,730
And there's seen some of these, the materials being delayed up to a year.

503
00:47:12,250 --> 00:47:14,490
Another one is the electrical panel.

504
00:47:15,850 --> 00:47:21,370
So we've been working with some partners in trying to maybe advance,

505
00:47:21,770 --> 00:47:25,330
procuring some of the longer lead time materials.

506
00:47:27,330 --> 00:47:36,690
I don't know if that's going to happen, but we can at least give the contractor a beat on some

507
00:47:36,690 --> 00:47:48,310
And I'm also being a little bit conservative in the schedule I'm giving you, it may happen where the contractors able to secure everything really quickly and we're up and running and spring.

508
00:47:49,110 --> 00:47:52,350
I really hope that's the case, but that's probably not going to be the case.

509
00:47:53,350 --> 00:48:02,450
So yeah, there will be some other delays, but I don't anticipate them being any different from other seasons, other years.

510
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:06,290
I'm sorry, other years, the ring season, and other years.

511
00:48:07,590 --> 00:48:08,970
But there is going to be some other delays.

512
00:48:09,590 --> 00:48:10,150
Thank you.

513
00:48:10,590 --> 00:48:11,710
Thank you, Joe.

514
00:48:12,410 --> 00:48:12,550
Okay.

515
00:48:13,070 --> 00:48:13,890
Say another question.

516
00:48:14,450 --> 00:48:15,190
Is there a motion?

517
00:48:20,530 --> 00:48:34,550
Plan specifications and estimates for well number 10, equipping and pump house construction project at the Lord of State Park, known as project specification number 25-003B, and authorize the advertisement of the project for construction bits.

518
00:48:34,770 --> 00:48:37,890
Here we go. The motion is second. I'll second. The motion is second. All in favor?

519
00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:38,890
Hi.

520
00:48:39,450 --> 00:48:40,210
And you're posed?

521
00:48:40,750 --> 00:48:42,390
Motion passes. Thank you.

522
00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:43,530
Thank you.

523
00:48:43,530 --> 00:48:49,670
on to item number 90. Introduction of ordinance number 26-1-001.

524
00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:50,390
Amending.

525
00:48:52,690 --> 00:49:00,410
Oh, the new 90 or 90. 90. Introduction of ordinance number 26-1-001.

526
00:49:00,510 --> 00:49:07,110
Amending Fillmore Municipal Code Title 11. Streets and sidewalks to add chapter 11.30

527
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:11,410
unlawful camping and storage of personal property and public spaces.

528
00:49:11,410 --> 00:49:11,910
Give

529
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:27,860
me one second.

530
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:46,940
Thank you Mayor members of the council and thank you our City Attorney Tiffany Israel and her firm who helped prepare this report.

531
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,460
The ordinance that we're presenting to you today is.

532
00:49:52,420 --> 00:49:59,960
Is needed primarily for compliance with a grant that it's round five of the.

533
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:28,540
Incantment, resolution, fund grant, requirement of that grant requires that cities do enact an encampment ordinance, and this encampment ordinance has been prepared in compliance with the governor's orders, executive order N124, the model ordinance, and also with the guidance provided by the Ventura County continuum of care.

534
00:50:29,340 --> 00:50:42,600
And so just to really just hit the three basic principles of this ordinance is number one that no person should face criminal punishment for sleeping outside when there is no when they have nowhere else to go.

535
00:50:42,860 --> 00:50:49,160
Shelter and services should prioritize people experience homelessness and ensure their belongings are treated with respect.

536
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:58,760
And three that officials must be able to enforce common sense policies to protect the health and safety of their residents and maintain their public spaces.

537
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:10,820
So really what this ordinance is trying to do is to treat the homeless in a human fashion, but also allow cities to enact policies to protect the public health and safety.

538
00:51:10,820 --> 00:51:15,260
And so that's what we believe that this ordinance does provide the city with.

539
00:51:16,020 --> 00:51:22,360
And I do have a document here to kind of go over some of the key points of the ordinance.

540
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,680
So camping on public property would be prohibited and declared a public nuisance.

541
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:35,600
And so the only exception to this would be if there is a city issue permit for a special event.

542
00:51:36,940 --> 00:51:44,540
such and let's see, the ordinance defines key terms so that it's very specific, you know,

543
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:51,660
how this ordinance applies to individuals and there and there be longings, it provides

544
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:58,460
a time frame by which, you know, the individual is allowed to comply with the notice to

545
00:51:59,380 --> 00:52:15,400
in advance, and it also requires that there personal belongings be documented and held for a certain period of time, so it can be returned to them in the event that they're able to come back and obtain their items.

546
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:21,820
And so, it's very well written.

547
00:52:22,860 --> 00:52:26,540
As we move forward, and we work on our ERF and Catman grant,

548
00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:29,320
we're looking at the two properties

549
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,900
where the majority of our

550
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:33,380
and Catman residents are located.

551
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:36,620
They're located on private property.

552
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,420
So, in the event that

553
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,460
the other issue that could be down the line for

554
00:52:43,460 --> 00:53:04,460
At least one of those properties is the potential for a group like a conservancy to come in and take ownership of it and potentially apply for state funds to restore the property and to vacate any potential homeless that could be on that property when homeless individuals relocate to other areas.

555
00:53:04,460 --> 00:53:09,200
It's not out of the realm of possibility that they could relocate to public property.

556
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:17,160
So an ordinance like this is really needed to give the city the ability to vacate these

557
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:22,740
encaments and continue to offer services to these individuals that the city has the ability

558
00:53:22,740 --> 00:53:24,040
to offer at the time.

559
00:53:24,780 --> 00:53:28,780
So with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions that the council may have.

560
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:30,500
Thank you questions.

561
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:32,580
Council member, are you going to get?

562
00:53:32,580 --> 00:53:37,940
I'm not necessarily a question, just a comment, so I read through this and I found it very...

563
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:45,020
I thought it was well written and a nice balance between, as you said,

564
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:52,100
treating people with human dignity, but at the same time giving us options in terms of what we need to do to make sure that

565
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:59,940
our public spaces are kept safe. So I guess just the compliment to both of you for a job well done, at least in my opinion.

566
00:53:59,940 --> 00:54:03,720
I don't know how much that means, but good job, guys.

567
00:54:04,180 --> 00:54:09,100
I don't want to echo the sector, what Council Member Gernicus, my thoughts exactly, so.

568
00:54:09,940 --> 00:54:10,780
Council Member Rooney?

569
00:54:11,340 --> 00:54:11,400
Sure.

570
00:54:13,180 --> 00:54:14,200
Thank you for the answer.

571
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,080
So I'm going to just throw questions out there that I know I'm going to get hit with, I have

572
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:26,660
a bit from constituents since we've been finding this uphill battle for so long.

573
00:54:26,660 --> 00:54:32,820
I appreciate the changes that have been taking place so far, you know, certainly under your leadership, and

574
00:54:32,820 --> 00:54:38,200
the steps forward we've made, which I think are great, and I'm trying to share that information as well.

575
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,380
But on the report, under

576
00:54:44,580 --> 00:54:50,180
the ordinance, reflect three basic principles, and the first principle,

577
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,180
refer to no person should face criminal punishment, for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go.

578
00:54:55,180 --> 00:54:59,800
So one question I have is, I mean, how do you determine when they have nowhere else to go?

579
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:09,900
And the unique thing about film where I've been told since I've looked here with the grant of homeless situation, is that it's unique in that it's not, there aren't transits coming through.

580
00:55:10,060 --> 00:55:23,080
There are people that have connections to film work. And do we know and how do we know that they simply, that they're, they probably are possibly could go home to whatever residents family members they have here, but they choose to live that lifestyle.

581
00:55:23,580 --> 00:55:26,720
Is that, how is that, we did out? Is it at all?

582
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:34,500
Yeah, I think I've made mention to this before, from my experience in working with the homeless

583
00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:39,140
population, truly every individual's case is really unique.

584
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:44,680
So certainly there are those individuals that have the option to go home, but for a lot

585
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:50,280
of these folks, they've burned quite a few bridges and they just don't have the trust of friends

586
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,820
and family to go back, some do.

587
00:55:53,420 --> 00:55:58,500
I would say from my knowledge of some of the folks in the

588
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:10,000
in the in-campment, there's at least one that does have the ability for, you know, I don't know if that's currently in a situation to go back and stay with the family member for part of the week.

589
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:20,240
So truly it is a case by case situation and I would be remiss to address the entire population in a kind of a blanket fashion.

590
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:29,620
And then, I had this question posed to me actually this week as recently as this week.

591
00:56:29,780 --> 00:56:35,480
And I understand that the river bottom is made of a different ownership, a lot of its private property.

592
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:42,080
But one person had said, well, why can't the at least go in and just plow down to your

593
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,740
Rondo in the area where the camps are, and I understand, my response was well, they would just

594
00:56:46,740 --> 00:56:51,780
move to where their Rondo wasn't cut down, and then I know we're dealing with the whole

595
00:56:54,100 --> 00:56:56,380
But yeah, the lease bill is very old.

596
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,060
Right, the Nesting and all that.

597
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,180
So there's violations we need to be aware of.

598
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:03,640
But how can I respond to a constituent?

599
00:57:05,020 --> 00:57:06,240
And it, like I said, it's coming up.

600
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,520
No, very good question.

601
00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:10,400
The Rundal situation is very challenging.

602
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:14,760
One, we do have, in that particular area of the Santa Clara River,

603
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,900
we do have the endangered species issue.

604
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:18,620
So that's one.

605
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,060
Two is it's very expensive to remove a window.

606
00:57:23,980 --> 00:57:27,260
This isn't the amount of money in the amount of a window that would need to be removed.

607
00:57:28,380 --> 00:57:33,440
And the practice, the methodology that you would have to use to remove the window is very specific.

608
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,620
You have to get approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

609
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,700
That all adds to cost.

610
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:39,680
It's very expensive.

611
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:45,240
There's a lot of competition for grant funds for a window removal.

612
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:51,100
So, between the county and the conservancies that are doing these restoration projects.

613
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,660
So it is quite challenging to get to secure the funding to do the Rondo Rumble.

614
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,140
Yeah, I'm just looking at from this standpoint of those that live closest to the river.

615
00:58:03,020 --> 00:58:04,880
And they have legitimate concerns.

616
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,380
I know we all talked about this about fire.

617
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:13,880
And with that at Rondo's closest it is to the residents now and the fires that we've had.

618
00:58:14,740 --> 00:58:26,740
It's frustrating for me to understand it, and to know that there's, you know, issues come out of Sacramento and other agencies that prohibit us from dealing with that issue.

619
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,420
And this will not go well at all, but I'm going to say it anyway.

620
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:39,880
I see the residents who live either on whatever the roads are adjacent to the river.

621
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:46,020
And I think OK, fires, they start, and they start primarily because there's a whole lot of

622
00:58:46,020 --> 00:58:46,700
a rondo there.

623
00:58:46,980 --> 00:58:51,140
It's so easy for these people that are camping there to accidentally start fires.

624
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:59,400
For someone to lose a home, over not, this is where I'm going to probably get hit, worrying

625
00:59:00,140 --> 00:59:07,680
about an area where there's some birds that are nesting, you know, all take care of the resident

626
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,240
every single time, and I'm an advocate for nature, and you can serve and see everything

627
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:12,800
anyway.

628
00:59:13,620 --> 00:59:19,480
But given the choice, I know you've heard all this, but I don't want to say it's a balancing

629
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,180
act and the practical reality of it.

630
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:32,620
You do weigh the effects on our neighbors and the financial potential, the impact on the city.

631
00:59:33,220 --> 00:59:39,680
The fines for, you know, damaging a nest are significant, they're about, maybe I thought

632
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:45,600
I've heard about $50,000 per occurrence up to, per nest or, you know, so, you know, you

633
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:50,520
could imagine if you start damaging and that's damaging nest and this is documented, that

634
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,400
could be quite an expensive mistake.

635
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:59,960
So really, this is a balancing act, and the method that we're using right now is,

636
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:15,240
To utilize the in-campment resolution funds, which those funds do have requirements in terms of, you know, how you utilize those funds and how you do not overly penalize the individuals that you're attempting to relocate out of there.

637
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:24,780
One of the requirements of the grant is that, you know, you really can't force somebody off the site, you have to offer them services.

638
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:32,460
So that's what we've committed to, and that's what we're doing right now, given that we have the grant at this time.

639
01:00:36,550 --> 01:00:42,650
Yeah, and again, my heart without a people that are dealing with this on a day and a day out basis and not just the home.

640
01:00:42,810 --> 01:00:50,710
I mean, the homes also are included in that group that I have empathy for, but the people that are dealing with this day and a day out here are worried about fire.

641
01:00:50,710 --> 01:00:52,330
I do have some good news.

642
01:00:52,610 --> 01:01:00,150
One of the individuals in the in-campment on the property adjacent to Heritage Valley Parkway

643
01:01:00,690 --> 01:01:01,950
has secured housing.

644
01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:05,730
This will update some going to be able to provide its interim housing.

645
01:01:06,810 --> 01:01:10,130
So there's some good news that I have to give you with regard to the program.

646
01:01:10,710 --> 01:01:11,850
So that's good to know.

647
01:01:12,250 --> 01:01:14,310
We need all the good news we can get out of this topic.

648
01:01:15,310 --> 01:01:19,590
But again, you know, thanks for what you're doing and, no, it's just frustrating.

649
01:01:19,590 --> 01:01:26,450
It is. Thank you for sharing that on behalf of the residents. It's important for them to hear that.

650
01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:32,870
I appreciate the council members who have shared their appreciation for staff's work on this,

651
01:01:33,350 --> 01:01:41,750
but it is important that our community also hears and that their frustrations and concerns are being reflected by council members.

652
01:01:42,930 --> 01:01:47,870
In the communication that we can get from you to pass on is really, really helpful.

653
01:01:49,350 --> 01:01:49,830
A fortune job.

654
01:01:50,090 --> 01:01:51,830
A fortune job.

655
01:01:52,510 --> 01:01:52,950
Thank you very much.

656
01:01:54,650 --> 01:01:55,250
Thank you.

657
01:01:55,250 --> 01:01:55,570
Can't remember.

658
01:01:55,570 --> 01:01:55,650
Can't remember.

659
01:01:56,750 --> 01:01:58,110
Yeah, and this is just a comment.

660
01:01:58,370 --> 01:01:59,510
Thank you, Manning for your presentation.

661
01:01:59,850 --> 01:02:01,450
Thank you for having this discussion.

662
01:02:02,250 --> 01:02:05,770
And I think we just need to continue these great lines of communication that you're

663
01:02:05,770 --> 01:02:06,490
giving us, Manning.

664
01:02:06,790 --> 01:02:08,990
And being able to pass on and for us, we'll just discuss.

665
01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:14,710
And I just wanted to make the comment on the Rendo, which is super, super frustrating.

666
01:02:16,170 --> 01:02:23,150
One, the cost to remove it, and then just the way of nature of that we are in,

667
01:02:23,170 --> 01:02:28,410
you know, we are at the lower end of the river valley, where Rando is upstream,

668
01:02:28,550 --> 01:02:35,710
and the fact that we can remove it from our area, but being that Rando seeds are upstream,

669
01:02:35,710 --> 01:02:42,390
that they will just come and flow again and so it's going to just take a massive statewide

670
01:02:42,390 --> 01:02:51,030
funding commitment in this area of, you know, coordination with our senators and assembly members

671
01:02:51,030 --> 01:02:56,350
that you know covered this valley and upstream of this valley to really move that issue forward.

672
01:02:56,850 --> 01:02:59,270
So, yeah, it's fun to say that.

673
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,200
Thank you, many, thank you, everybody.

674
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,420
Would that have been said no more questions?

675
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:06,680
Can I have a motion please?

676
01:03:10,310 --> 01:03:11,830
I'd like to move the motion.

677
01:03:13,410 --> 01:03:18,650
For the City Council to put the first reading to introduce ordinance number 26-1010,

678
01:03:19,730 --> 01:03:24,390
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Fillmore, California, amending Fillmore

679
01:03:24,390 --> 01:03:32,550
Municipal Code, Title 113's, I'm the side of walks to add, chapter 111.30 on Lothal Camping

680
01:03:32,550 --> 01:03:35,510
and Storage of Personal Property and Public Places.

681
01:03:35,510 --> 01:03:37,510
Do we have emotions or second?

682
01:03:37,710 --> 01:03:38,730
I'll second.

683
01:03:38,790 --> 01:03:38,930
Okay.

684
01:03:39,090 --> 01:03:40,570
Motion, second, all in favor?

685
01:03:40,990 --> 01:03:41,210
Aye.

686
01:03:41,830 --> 01:03:42,330
Any opposed?

687
01:03:43,410 --> 01:03:44,150
Motion passes.

688
01:03:44,390 --> 01:03:44,610
I see.

689
01:03:44,870 --> 01:03:44,970
Thank you.

690
01:03:46,250 --> 01:03:47,970
Moving on to item 10.

691
01:03:48,270 --> 01:03:48,630
City Manager.

692
01:03:48,870 --> 01:03:50,190
Vote for a verbal report.

693
01:03:50,910 --> 01:03:51,470
Thank you, Mayor.

694
01:03:52,070 --> 01:03:57,630
I know many started to provide you with an update on the ERF grant, but we wanted to make sure

695
01:03:57,630 --> 01:04:02,770
that we didn't deviate so much on the previous item, but he'll provide you with

696
01:04:03,030 --> 01:04:04,450
the rest of the update.

697
01:04:04,450 --> 01:04:13,130
We have good news of Rapid Rehousing in the past two weeks, so good job, Manny and Terny points up to you.

698
01:04:13,330 --> 01:04:13,650
Thank you.

699
01:04:14,090 --> 01:04:14,730
Thank you.

700
01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:23,530
So yeah, so an update with the ERF grant, you know, they've been working our case managers have been working really hard.

701
01:04:24,170 --> 01:04:26,610
And just within the last, I'd say two to three weeks.

702
01:04:26,610 --> 01:04:50,410
I had mentioned the one resident that had been placed into temporary housing, and following that immediately following that they had two more clients that had agreed to also go into temporary housing as of September 1st, and then another that was going to be placed into permanent housing also on September 1st, so that's 4.

703
01:04:51,150 --> 01:04:59,130
So, you know, I know it's been kind of frustrating for the community to have a grant and hearing about this $1.5 million.

704
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:07,460
That's out there. What is it doing? It has. It's taken a while for the program to get started and

705
01:05:07,460 --> 01:05:12,620
to, for the case managers, to develop these relationships with the residents, but it's

706
01:05:12,620 --> 01:05:18,560
born some fruit. And we have some really good progress. And I think given this work,

707
01:05:18,620 --> 01:05:24,380
I think we'll see more being housed in place in temporary housing with the overall goal of

708
01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:27,720
having them placed into people's self-help project,

709
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:29,680
the film or terrorist project,

710
01:05:30,300 --> 01:05:31,760
just to give you a little update on that,

711
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,860
and it kind of aligns really good with the grant right now.

712
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,400
They anticipate hopefully starting construction,

713
01:05:38,940 --> 01:05:41,420
if they're able to complete their financing

714
01:05:41,420 --> 01:05:44,240
and get everything going in January

715
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,660
or February start construction of 2027,

716
01:05:48,260 --> 01:05:51,360
and so they anticipate a one-year construction cycle.

717
01:05:51,360 --> 01:06:08,300
So, if that all goes as planned, you know, they would open up a year, you know, from then, and then we would try to get our, of course, we would have priority for our cabinet residents to move into, you know, permanent support of housing. So, you know, that's, that's the, the goal.

718
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:17,540
Thanks to your leadership in your guidance, that's something that could be a reality. That's, and so that's my update on the ERF and happy to take any questions. Question time.

719
01:06:17,540 --> 01:06:19,300
It can't remember if he's in here.

720
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:20,520
Yes, thank you, Manny.

721
01:06:22,180 --> 01:06:24,040
So for the permanent housing,

722
01:06:24,340 --> 01:06:25,820
I mean, does that mean permanent,

723
01:06:25,820 --> 01:06:27,500
like found in a found in a apartment

724
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:29,060
that'll have supportive services?

725
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,220
Right, so people, people self-help,

726
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:35,260
fill more terrace projects includes 13 units,

727
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,420
supportive service units.

728
01:06:38,180 --> 01:06:40,160
Right, but I was just wondering for right now

729
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,540
for that person that you mentioned

730
01:06:41,540 --> 01:06:42,880
has permanent housing.

731
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,180
It is supported in not in the,

732
01:06:46,180 --> 01:06:49,280
because it is in a market rate location,

733
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,880
but our case managers will continue to meet regularly

734
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:54,900
with the client.

735
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:58,720
As long as they're receiving rapid rehousing dollars,

736
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,880
they're going to have to maintain their relationship

737
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,840
with our case manager to make sure that they're working

738
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:04,620
on their program.

739
01:07:05,020 --> 01:07:07,960
And the goal is to get them to be self-sufficient

740
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,040
so that when the rapid rehousing funds ends,

741
01:07:12,380 --> 01:07:15,180
they have a job, but they have the funding

742
01:07:15,180 --> 01:07:17,180
to continue paying the rent and staying housed.

743
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:17,780
Okay, perfect.

744
01:07:17,940 --> 01:07:18,860
That's what I was going to say.

745
01:07:19,180 --> 01:07:23,100
There was a gap there from an end time with the temporary housing

746
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:26,720
to before the potential for people's self-help.

747
01:07:27,580 --> 01:07:32,020
Or even something that we might be able to in our application for the ERF

748
01:07:32,020 --> 01:07:35,540
next round of funding just to maintain that if they're doing well

749
01:07:35,540 --> 01:07:39,120
and being successful that we're just able to keep them from coming back

750
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:39,820
to the riverbed.

751
01:07:40,260 --> 01:07:50,140
Yeah, the funding for the rapid re-housing does allow for them to be maintained and their housing that we're able to secure for them.

752
01:07:50,620 --> 01:07:58,760
And so, you know, it's really a matter of numbers. We have a finite number of others rapid re-housing dollars, so we're given the amount of months left in the program.

753
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,100
That's how much funding we have to help.

754
01:08:01,340 --> 01:08:02,360
Okay. Thank you.

755
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:03,440
Thank you.

756
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:03,700
Please.

757
01:08:03,980 --> 01:08:04,720
Thank you.

758
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,260
Thank you.

759
01:08:07,260 --> 01:08:12,700
fantastic news about four individuals. So if I remember correctly the last time I asked about this

760
01:08:12,700 --> 01:08:17,960
number, you said that we had about approximately 13 individuals. So does that mean we're down into

761
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:25,940
the single digits now? I would say it's approximate, you know, there. One of the individuals that we

762
01:08:25,940 --> 01:08:32,600
did help was in an area that wasn't as clearly defined within the is the catman's own. It was

763
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:39,760
on the other side of the bridge, so you know, the numbers fluctuate, they fluctuate, so we could

764
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:48,520
be in the teens, you know, muscle men also, so great job to the team.

765
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,000
The force, definite.

766
01:08:51,420 --> 01:08:52,320
Thank you so much.

767
01:08:52,460 --> 01:08:53,680
Another question?

768
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,840
I do have another question.

769
01:08:56,440 --> 01:09:01,520
And you know, not know the answer to this one, but just an idea I had, or just thinking

770
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:07,760
of those, you know, again, that are finding rapid rehousing or willing to move out of the river bed.

771
01:09:08,300 --> 01:09:12,360
I think, Councilman Progui mentioned it with, do they have family in town or those?

772
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:19,100
Do you know many, is there any program, either funded by the ERF grant or just some kind of,

773
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:27,100
yeah, some kind of program we may know about locally or somewhere in the state that works with families?

774
01:09:27,100 --> 01:09:32,980
I don't want to call it reunification, but because this situation has to be just really common,

775
01:09:34,060 --> 01:09:39,960
You know, the ties have been broken, but is there potential to bring those ties back together?

776
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,960
I've just wanted to know if you knew there was, you know, along with our funding them

777
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,780
at these different housing situations.

778
01:09:47,220 --> 01:09:51,200
Do you know if there's anything that's even, I guess, maybe even funded in some kind

779
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,540
of way of the sort of working with families?

780
01:09:54,540 --> 01:09:59,980
I know the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Nami, they work and provide.

781
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:11,020
I'd mental health services for families. And so that's often a resource that's used. So that could be available, given the situation.

782
01:10:11,620 --> 01:10:21,160
Also, the rapid rehousing dollars could theoretically be used to house an individual back into. So if their main issue was, hey, look, just aren't contributing enough to the household and you got to go.

783
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:28,860
If, you know, it could be that the rapid rehousing dollars be used to pay the rent for the individual to have a room back at, you know, with a family member.

784
01:10:28,860 --> 01:10:31,060
So, that's interesting. I didn't know that. Thank you.

785
01:10:31,540 --> 01:10:33,720
Thank you, man. Sure. Thank you.

786
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:34,880
Thank you, man.

787
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:39,240
Just remind the constituents that as we get through this heat wave,

788
01:10:39,340 --> 01:10:43,620
we have activated the cooling center at the active adult center.

789
01:10:44,660 --> 01:10:48,960
Monday through Thursday from 11 to 5, and we'll reassess Thursday

790
01:10:49,900 --> 01:10:52,000
whether we open it on Friday or not.

791
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,260
I know we shared via our website and social media.

792
01:10:55,260 --> 01:11:01,020
I'm just not going to modify all the residents that during the fall of the heat.

793
01:11:01,460 --> 01:11:05,140
We have this active activity in the environment,

794
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:11,420
in the health center of active adults from the 11th of the morning to the 5th of the afternoon.

795
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:14,640
And let's go back to the game.

796
01:11:14,780 --> 01:11:19,060
And then we're going to take the decision to go back to the opening,

797
01:11:19,140 --> 01:11:20,340
and then we're going to communicate.

798
01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:34,680
we're also working on scheduling to upcoming community engagement to finalize the calendar year.

799
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:40,540
So we're planning on having a mayor, mayor, per ten, coffee or ice room.

800
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,180
We have quite finalized the details that I wanted to share that with the council.

801
01:11:44,180 --> 01:11:53,440
And then another coffee with the city manager, the ideas you have, one event right by the end of summer, I know it's coming close.

802
01:11:53,960 --> 01:12:00,000
And then another one hopefully, you know, mid-november or beginning of December.

803
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:07,820
So staff and I are working the details and we'll make sure to share that with the community and we hope to get some engagement.

804
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,620
I would be on favor of ice cream since it's so hot.

805
01:12:11,660 --> 01:12:12,060
Okay.

806
01:12:12,060 --> 01:12:20,780
noted. And then we're also working internally on our quarterly newsletter. And so if you haven't

807
01:12:20,780 --> 01:12:26,680
subscribed to our newsletter, we encourage you to do that. We should be wrapping that up in the

808
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:33,880
next few weeks and publishing it. So that concludes my updates. Thank you. Thank you so much. And with

809
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:39,720
that being said, I will now adjourn tonight's meeting to our next regular least scheduled meeting at

810
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,140
at 630pm on Tuesday, September 8th, right here at City Hall

811
01:12:43,140 --> 01:12:44,700
and thank you all for tuning in.
