[3:01] Mayor Mendes, Mayor Proto-Bernika, council member broke, here, council member v. Senior, here,
[3:16] council member
[3:33] The motion pressing unanimously. Thank you. Moving on to number 5A
[3:39] Presentations proclaiming recognition of film more search and rescues 80th anniversary
[3:43] 1946 the 26
[3:49] whereas on November 13th
[3:53] 1946 the tragic crash of Western Airlines flight 23 on the remote snow slope swept slopes of the white mountain
[3:59] Semended the critical and immediate need for a permanent highly specialized wilderness rescue
[4:04] force in the region, and we're asked it is historically documented that a data-kitty group
[4:09] of local citizens and horsemen had already been active actively volunteering their time
[4:14] and bet country skills to conduct search and rescue operations in the rugged terrain
[4:19] of venture economy prior to this disaster. And we're as recognizing the profound courage,
[4:24] skill, and necessity demonstrated by these volunteers during the flight-23 response
[4:29] and earlier missions, Venturi County Sheriff Howard Durley stepped forward on November
[4:35] 19th, 1946 to formally organize and sanctioned the group under law enforcement jurisdiction
[4:40] and whereas under the leadership of its very first team captain, Bismarck Biz Baselot,
[4:46] the filmor search and rescue team was established as a true pioneer.
[4:50] So many in this legacy and its founding search and rescue unit in Venturi County
[4:53] and distinguishing itself as one of the first officially sanctioned all volunteer sheriffs rescue.
[5:00] 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
[5:07] as unpaid professionals, maintaining rigorous technical proficiency in high-angle, road rescue tracking and wilderness medicine, standing ready to deploy
[5:16] 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,
[5:26] One thousand eight hundred seventy three miles to bring the lost entered and missing safely home
[5:32] And whereas the teams impact extends far beyond the wilderness
[5:35] demonstrating the deep devotion to community stewardship through local safety education
[5:41] Youth outreach and decades of generous holiday programs for local families in need and we're asked to continue a service of these volunteers
[5:48] represents the very best of community spirit sacrifice and enduring commitment to their salon model so others may live
[5:56] Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Albert Mendus, mayor of the city of Fomor, here
[6:00] record what recognizes in honors, Fomor, search a rescue on the Mount to this occasion
[6:04] of momentous occasion of its 80th anniversary expressing deepest gratitude to its past and present
[6:11] members for eight decades of vigilant, life-saving protection and self-service to the citizens
[6:16] of venture accounting.
[6:17] Proclate this 25th day, August 26th,
[6:28] like 23 years.
[6:32] In 1946, and they are going to present this as one of the 29 correct
[6:40] Erica.
[6:41] They're having a bar review.
[6:44] I believe that's correct, Mayor.
[6:46] Can double check the data if you need me to?
[6:51] And Rick Neil, there's a reason to do this one.
[7:06] Yes, so it's Saturday, August 29th at 11 am at the Pyru Petroleum Club in
[7:13] Right, Park?
[7:16] Do they ever get that?
[7:17] Great.
[7:18] Thank you.
[7:19] So moving on to item six public comments, and we do have one speaker, but before we begin
[7:25] the public comment, I want to explain how the section works, the meeting.
[7:29] Each speaker will have three minutes to address the council under the Brown Act.
[7:33] The council is generally prohibited from discussing or acting on items that are not on tonight's agenda.
[7:37] This means that while we welcome and value your comments, council members will not be able to respond.
[7:42] That's follow-up questions or engage in back and forth dialogue during this time.
[7:47] We are listening carefully and your comments become part of the public record.
[7:51] If your comment relates to an item not on tonight's agenda, state law allows a brief
[7:56] response to clarify factual matters or refer the items for future consideration, but no
[8:02] substance of discussion or decision can happen tonight.
[8:05] With that being said, we'll begin the public comments.
[8:08] Yvonne Bister, welcome Yvonne.
[8:15] Hello everybody, good evening.
[8:17] I'm here to give an update of the film or library.
[8:21] I'm here from the film or library.
[8:24] And most of you are familiar with Yvonne Bister.
[8:28] So we're winding down summer per the calendar.
[8:33] We're winding down summer transitioning to the school year.
[8:37] Quite busy in the afternoon with students.
[8:39] a lot of homeschooled scholars during the day at the library, making use of what we have to offer there,
[8:46] adults coming in, people coming in just to escape the heat as well. We are a cooling center,
[8:51] very nice in there, so if you want to stop by this cold down, you're very welcome.
[8:58] Let me see new fiscal year, we're doing our book ordering. I want to thank the city of film
[9:03] for continued support. We have a really nice selection of books and we continue to grow. I think
[9:10] wasn't going to thank you to your support. The community is also very supportive of the library.
[9:16] We continue on with our ongoing programs, Master Gardner. We have once a month. We have a Pokemon Club
[9:22] that's new. And it's actually led by a Pokemon Professor. It's certified Pokemon Professor.
[9:29] I'm learning a lot more as we go along. I'd be able to learn how to play the board game.
[9:34] 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.
[9:52] We've had city council over before the mayor or you know to do readings and we really appreciate that anybody
[10:00] That would ever like to just come and join in any program or have ideas for programs. We've definitely
[10:05] welcome. That is also okay. Thank you. Thank you.
[10:11] Thank you. Thank you. Can you say your hours for the audience? Because I know that there's some days
[10:16] where you start at 10 and others where you start later. So our hours, well, our Monday and Tuesday
[10:21] from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday is from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. Thursday Friday and Saturday
[10:31] is noon to 5 p.m. So on Wednesday morning's going to open at 10, that's when we have
[10:38] story time focused on ages 0 through 5. And the later hours on Monday and Tuesday, I think
[10:44] help the people who are getting off work and can come to the evenings and look one way till
[10:48] Saturday. So hopefully we're able to reach everybody. We do have what we call express hours.
[10:55] If you upgrade your library card, we can set it so you can come in during specific
[11:00] express hours about two hours before the library opens. Staff is not available,
[11:05] but you can come in and do pick up your books and enjoy the kids area.
[11:10] Things like that. So thank you for reminding me about that.
[11:14] Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you everybody.
[11:16] Moving on to number seven, City Council reports, recommendations, comments, committee commission, and board reports.
[11:26] Council member Gernica.
[11:29] So, I attended the meeting of the Fimo Pairu Groundwater Sustainability Board.
[11:37] 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
[11:48] drastic rate increases that would occur if they did not do it because basically it's a
[11:53] pay as you go so if they had a pay for all three hundred million dollars in the first few
[11:58] years during construction it would it would make the water extremely expensive to pull out
[12:02] of the ground so and again these are these are the improvements to the Santa Felicia dam
[12:06] otherwise known as the pyru dam and it's to improve the spill with the size of the spill
[12:11] way as well as the overflow for the for the for the main part of the dam so that's the main
[12:17] part of it, there are actually three projects, but the majority of it is for the pirate down.
[12:23] Thank you.
[12:24] Do you have some room to register?
[12:26] I attended the soccer fest a few weekends ago.
[12:31] Good outcome.
[12:32] There were some concerns regarding the park and some safety concerns.
[12:37] So I took those concerns to the Public Works Director and also the City Manager.
[12:43] So luckily we were able to get some resolutions and
[12:47] and reassurance on those concerns that we had within the field.
[12:52] Also, a ten of the Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance.
[12:59] Nothing big too to report there just a couple of reminders of
[13:04] it's going to be hot.
[13:07] And ways to save energy, but also keep cool.
[13:12] They also have the talks about having more
[13:14] are shade structures in filmware, and also some EV talking about charging as we have, as
[13:22] they've been working on this project, and in addition to that there were some other presentations
[13:30] about contractors and installing heat pumps and incentives that they can have, and that's
[13:38] a $500 incentive for those who can go online and apply and see if they're phone, if
[13:44] house is eligible for some upgrades, some energy saving upgrades. I also attended the
[13:51] economic development collaborative meeting, nothing to report there, I'm to talk
[13:56] about the the reports that they had and a couple of comments that they had, but
[14:01] outside of that, that was pretty much it. Thank you. And my I serve on the VCAS
[14:06] committee, the Windsor County Animal Shelter, that meeting was canceled, but so nothing
[14:11] for me to report.
[14:13] Councilmember Brody?
[14:16] Thank you.
[14:18] On August 13th, I attended the
[14:22] Museum at the Vittura County Transportation Commission,
[14:25] a meeting for the subcommittee of Calvans and
[14:29] Calvans for those who aren't familiar with it.
[14:32] Is a transportation committee or group of
[14:37] It's not 1415 county-wide program that BCTC participates in and primarily it was formed to improve rural and agricultural transportation safety.
[14:50] Back in I think it was around 2012.
[14:54] But they've, so I said in on that meeting the primary person who sits.
[15:00] 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.
[15:23] about Cal Dance is also being hit with that as well.
[15:28] So they're trying to work around that, looking for funding,
[15:31] additional funding to keep the program up and running.
[15:35] So I did that on August 13th, and then I have my porch talk tomorrow at
[15:42] between six and eight.
[15:43] And my house again, open to anybody,
[15:45] resident of the city of Filmore, wants to come and talk about anything
[15:49] Filmore related, bring your question, bring your comments.
[15:53] 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.
[16:05] 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.
[16:13] 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.
[16:26] 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.
[16:34] 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.
[16:59] Thank you. Councilmember Vius in your. Thank you. So I don't have a report out for the Ventura Regional Sanitation District.
[17:07] We're meeting next Thursday. So at our next meeting, I'll have something there.
[17:12] But I do want to mention that last Tuesday and I mentioned this briefly at our special meeting last Wednesday.
[17:20] But the previous Tuesday on August 18th, the Board of Supervisors voted regarding the future of Santa Paula Hospital.
[17:28] and they voted for a particular option that would be to not build a new smaller scale down
[17:38] microhospital along with an emergency room, but to move forward with in medical office buildings
[17:45] and expanded access to care. And what that means is an urgent care that would have a pharmacy,
[17:55] laboratory imaging and I think a couple of other particular specialties that are not usually
[18:01] with an urgent care. So I attended a speaking just as a citizen, as did our mayor, not on behalf
[18:10] of the film or but we did provide some comments to the Board of Supervisors. And what I would
[18:16] like to ask and this is what I'm asking here as a recommendation for us as a governing body
[18:23] to bring the closure of the hospital and the next steps that the county's planning for an agenda item.
[18:34] 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.
[18:44] 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,
[19:13] tips that could potentially take place and that could maybe happen in this next three-year
[19:20] period, where perhaps in the end there might still be the possibility.
[19:26] And this is just myself talking of being able to keep the hospital or again have some things
[19:32] scaled down.
[19:33] A lot of the speakers who spoke, majority of the speakers who spoke to the Board of Supervisors
[19:38] are very passionate about how difficult it will be for us here in Filmware, Santa Clara Valley,
[19:47] Santa Paula, to access emergency care with the closure of the hospital emergency room.
[19:54] So what I'm asking is just to agenda this and perhaps just to have a-
[20:00] Sort of a summary from staff and allow us as council members to see if there's some ideas.
[20:07] 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.
[20:22] And it's been meeting for years, you know, at least five or more years.
[20:27] And, um, informally, I've attended, um, and I know we've had like, um,
[20:32] our council member, um, Chris Corolla also attended a few of those meetings,
[20:36] and I'm sure others of us have maybe attended or gotten updates.
[20:40] Anyway, the blue ribbon task force is going to continue to meet.
[20:42] So the county, um, to their credit is continuing to get that feedback.
[20:46] I think it would be great.
[20:47] And maybe we could have a brainstorming session and just see what, you know,
[20:51] from leadership here in the city, what we might be able to contribute.
[20:55] I think I'd be supportive of putting that in the agenda.
[21:01] Anyone else? I see a nod, okay. It's two. Okay.
[21:04] All right. Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
[21:08] Do you have an abdirection?
[21:10] No, that's fine. I'm also just going to let the council know that when we bring this
[21:14] staff report back. It would be good to memorialize and create like a not-all committee for
[21:22] continuation of feedback to the Blue Ribbon Task Force and so we'll draft a staff report in a way
[21:30] where we're recommending you to select like a primary and an alternate in case the primary is not
[21:36] available and then provide you with the ability to brainstorm and have a free discussion.
[21:45] Thank you.
[21:46] Thank you.
[21:48] Moving on to number eight, consent calendar.
[21:54] Here we get a motion to approve.
[21:57] Second.
[21:58] All second.
[21:58] Here we get a motion to second on favor.
[22:00] Hi.
[22:02] Any opposed?
[22:04] Motion passes unanimously.
[22:05] Thank you.
[22:08] Moving on to item nine.
[22:09] New business.
[22:10] Nine.
[22:11] Put me to one council member to the Board of Directors for the Clean Power Alliance.
[22:17] 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
[22:40] need representatives to serve on the CPA Board of Directors and under the CPA
[22:47] Joint Powers Agreement, the governing body of each member agency must appoint and
[22:52] designate in writing one regular director and may appoint up to two alternate directors.
[23:00] Alternate directors are authorized to vote on matters before the CPA Board when the
[23:06] director is absent. I'm CPA requires a regular director to be an elected or appointed member
[23:14] of the member's agency governing body and for the city of film or the regular director must
[23:20] therefore be a member of the city council. CPA provides greater flexibility for the appointment
[23:28] of an alternate director and the alternate director may either be another council member,
[23:34] 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.
[23:53] Only a regular director or alternate director formally appointed by the city council may vote at the CPA board meetings.
[24:03] If the city council appoints a city position together with a designated as an alternate director,
[24:10] then CPA requires that the individual serving as a designated also be specifically identified in the appointment documentation.
[24:20] 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.
[24:38] I wanted to remind you that we are about to go to the League of Cities and so the required
[24:44] Ethics training the AB 1 2 3 4 and the two hours of fiscal and financial training
[24:51] 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
[25:00] We can care of and you don't have to worry about that, whoever you use the left.
[25:05] 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.
[25:17] I also took the opportunity to remind you that the rate to your selection will be happening at the beginning of next calendar year.
[25:26] And that is just because we want to make sure that you have a more accurate tier or cost
[25:35] at the time, CPA is not going to be aware of the final rates closer to December.
[25:42] And so if you were to select that tier, you know, sometime next month or October, then the
[25:49] rates might drastically change and we feel like we want you to make a better educated decision
[25:55] with more accurate data.
[25:57] So for their team, they recommend it that we wait
[26:01] until February, March of next year.
[26:04] But it's already calendar, and our reader will make sure
[26:07] to bring that to you at that given time.
[26:11] There is no direct fiscal impact for this,
[26:14] and that concludes my presentation.
[26:15] Happy to answer any questions.
[26:17] Thank you.
[26:18] Do we have questions?
[26:19] Or do we have anybody that really, really wants to answer
[26:22] on this report?
[26:25] I'll raise my hand because I, you know, as you may know from my history or being on the council,
[26:32] I've been working with the Clean Power Alliance and I would like to be the first serving board member.
[26:39] I would second.
[26:40] All right.
[26:42] Does anybody want to be an alternate?
[26:45] All right.
[26:45] I'll raise my hand.
[26:46] Okay.
[26:47] If you want to be an alternate, we're going in.
[26:48] Okay.
[26:48] I'll be an alternate.
[26:49] You'll be the second.
[26:51] Okay.
[26:53] Okay.
[26:53] Thank you.
[26:55] So that means it.
[26:56] There are motion.
[26:58] So I'd like to make a motion that Christina Vustin, your be the primary.
[27:03] I would be the alternate and Albert, you'd be the second alternate on the pink power
[27:08] lines voting number.
[27:10] We'll get a motion.
[27:11] Is there a second?
[27:12] Second.
[27:12] The motion, second, all in favour?
[27:14] Aye.
[27:15] Any opposed?
[27:17] Okay.
[27:17] Motion passes in an absolute.
[27:18] Thank you.
[27:19] All right.
[27:19] Thank you.
[27:20] Moving on to 9B.
[27:21] consideration of ordinance number 26-100 to amend chapter 12.11 of the Fillmore Municipal
[27:30] Coates update the city's wastewater pre-treatment requirements.
[27:52] Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[27:57] Staff is requesting the City Council introduced the first reading of ordinance number 26-1000,
[28:04] which will update chapter 12-11 of the Fillmore Municipal Coates governing the city's wastewater
[28:09] treatment requirements. The proposed amendment will are intended to bring the city's
[28:18] pre-treatment compliance regulation and alignment with current state and federal
[28:22] requirements under the Clean Water Act, the National Pluton Distar Judimination
[28:28] Systems, which I'll refer to as NPDS in this report in the California Water Code.
[28:34] The existing chapter 12-11 was last comprehensively updated in 1989, rather, in no longer
[28:44] reflects the subsequent regulatory changes.
[28:49] The ordinance reorganizes and modernizes chapter 12-11 and incorporates updated pre-treatment
[28:57] technology and regulatory requirements.
[29:00] Major changes include updating definitions and terminology.
[29:06] It provides clarification to the city's pre-treatment program objectives, including preventing
[29:14] interference and pass through a pollutants, protecting treatment, plant, personnel and
[29:20] public, regulating non-domestic users, conducting monitoring and enforcement and maintaining
[29:27] compliance with the city's NPDS permit.
[29:31] It establishes procedures for industrial users, including identification of users, monitoring
[29:37] and sampling, review of self-reporting or self-monitoring reports, annual inspections, significant
[29:46] industrial users, slow discharge controls, and investigation of non-compliance.
[29:52] It updates pre-treatment facility requirements for industrial users, including grease
[29:57] traps, a gravity.
[30:00] We separating devices and other pre-treatment systems. The ordinance also shifts specific regulatory
[30:07] responsibility from the city manager to the public work's director.
[30:14] Enhanced enforcement authority,
[30:17] including the ability to deny or place conditions on industrial discharges required compliance
[30:23] with pre-treatment standards and establishes individual or general control mechanisms and
[30:30] to remedies for non-compliance.
[30:35] It also provides due process and emergency enforcement provisions, including notices and the
[30:43] opportunity for a hearing before penalties are imposed, while allowing immediate action
[30:50] for discharge presented and immediate or imminent threat to public health welfare in the
[30:57] environment or operation of the treatment system.
[31:02] There's no direct fiscal impact associated with the
[31:05] introduction of this ordinance.
[31:07] The ordinance is intended to support protection of
[31:11] the city's waste water treatment systems.
[31:14] The public health and receiving waters by
[31:17] preventing pollutants from entering the city's
[31:19] public treatment works.
[31:22] or the P, the OW, T, I'm sorry, O, P, T, P, O, W, S, sorry about that.
[31:34] The recommendation is again, the City Council introduced the first reading of ordinance
[31:38] 20, or 26, 1000 updating chapter 12, 11, the Filmemister Code and modernizing the city's wastewater
[31:46] pre-treatment requirements and maintaining compliance with the applicable state and thorough
[31:50] standards.
[31:52] That concludes my report and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
[31:59] Okay.
[32:00] Is there a motion?
[32:02] Can I motion?
[32:03] Okay.
[32:04] I'll move that the city adopt ordinance number 26-1,000.
[32:10] In ordinance of the City Council of the City of Filmware, California,
[32:13] update in portions of the city's wastewater,
[32:15] pre-treatment requirements.
[32:18] Here we have a motion.
[32:18] in their second.
[32:20] The motion in the second, all in favor?
[32:22] All right.
[32:23] Any opposed?
[32:24] The motion passed in the answer.
[32:26] Joy, just want to thank you on that for updating our municipal code.
[32:30] It's really important to do that.
[32:32] Thank you.
[32:32] Thank you.
[32:33] Thank you all.
[32:34] Moving on to item nine C, adoption of plans, specification,
[32:39] and cost estimate for project specification number 25 dash.
[32:44] 0, 3, B, well number 10, equipe B and pump
[32:48] How is construction project and authorization better ties for construction beds?
[32:55] Thank you. With this report, the City Council is being asked to adopt the planned
[33:00] specification and engineers cost estimate for the project specification number 2503B,
[33:08] which is the Will 10 Equipping and Pump House Construction Project, located at Dolores State Park
[33:13] and authorize staff to advertise the project for open competitive construction bids in accordance with film armulisable code chapter 540.
[33:26] On January 14, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the design of well 10.
[33:35] The project being constructed in two phases, phase A, which is also known as 20503A,
[33:45] included the drilling of well-ten and the demolition of the abandoned, now abandoned well-five at the Lower State Park.
[33:55] Phase A was completed on June 30, 2026,
[34:00] and the City Council is subsequently authorized staff to file the notice of completion, which we have.
[34:09] Phase B, also known as Project Specification 2503B,
[34:15] will complete the development and equipping of well number 10.
[34:19] The construction scope includes construction of the pump house around the wellhead,
[34:25] electrical and generator rooms, chemical containment facilities, access driveway, communication
[34:30] tower and closure, installation of the generator, well-head pump and motor set, or pump set,
[34:40] column pipe and headwork distribution piping. The project plans have been reviewed and approved
[34:47] by the city's building in safety department and the film or fire department. The engineers
[34:55] cost estimate for the construction of phase B is a tad under two.
[35:02] 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.
[35:16] The proposed schedule is advertised the project
[35:20] this coming Thursday on August 20, the 7th opening bids
[35:24] on October 1st and then bringing the contract
[35:29] or the authorization to award the contract back to the city council
[35:33] on October 13th.
[35:35] And then we're anticipating construction
[35:37] beginning November of this year and continuing until August
[35:42] of 2027, with the notice of completion estimated to be on September 15, 2027.
[35:50] There is a very long construction timeline there, and that's primarily due to procurement of equipment
[36:00] that has a very long lead time.
[36:05] This project is included in the adopted fiscal year 2627 budget.
[36:10] following the bid opening, and again, we'll bring it back on October 13th this city council
[36:17] for a recommendation to aware the contract staff will provide the city council with bid analysis,
[36:24] budget breakdown when the construction contract should be, when we present that.
[36:34] 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.
[36:48] 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.
[37:03] Staff is, again, recommending the City Council adopts the plant's specification and
[37:09] an estimate for project specification, 25, 0, 3b, and authorized staff to advertise a project
[37:14] for construction bids.
[37:19] That concludes my report and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
[37:22] Thank you so much.
[37:23] Thank you.
[37:24] Thank you.
[37:25] Thank you for that.
[37:26] So my question is to do with what's going on with the water, I guess, in the meantime.
[37:32] So we finished the construction of the actual well below ground.
[37:37] I understand this is basically everything above ground.
[37:40] And so what is the current status of the wells that we have in Operation
[37:44] and how does that fit with bringing this well online?
[37:48] So well seven and eights are operating as, you know, as expected.
[37:57] We don't have no problems at this point, but it's day by day.
[38:01] Okay, so they're handling the full load of the city.
[38:05] Yes.
[38:06] And then relative.
[38:07] Well, 10 comes online, fully online, sometime in mid, year next year, then we'll be able
[38:14] to do some maintenance on the two, currently operating wells.
[38:18] Is that correct?
[38:20] Yes, sir.
[38:20] You know, with the last two years in the issues that we've encountered with seven and
[38:26] eight, we've got them pretty well dialed in.
[38:30] This last two weeks, we changed out the chlorination pump to a more efficient pump.
[38:38] So we're always looking at ways to keep our wells good and functioning without interruption.
[38:49] So you're also, you're bringing up a good point about, you know, in light of this week being, you know,
[38:56] heat wave in our two wells keeping up. They are keeping up, thankfully, with a demand from
[39:05] the public without any restrictions.
[39:09] So so far in the evening and given this time period
[39:13] we're also in a peak offset period with energy. So at four o'clock our wells are shut
[39:23] off to reduce the energy cost that would otherwise be hitting the city.
[39:29] So their program to stay off between four and nine today, every day, during the week.
[39:36] On the weekends, that restriction is taken off for our plan with SEE.
[39:43] So what happens by Nanoclock tonight, our trigger point when the wells would normally
[39:50] kick-on actually gets a lot lower in the reservoir, a couple feet lower. So 20, you know, we use
[39:57] a reservoir number full of...
[40:00] Three, rather, to gauge, I'm sorry, four, to gauge when our wells get turned on and then when they kick off.
[40:09] So when our reservoir four gets to 23 feet of storage, the wells are programmed to kick on.
[40:18] 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.
[40:29] 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.
[40:51] Our reservoirs get to capacity at 25-5 reservoirs for four gets to 25-5 and it shuts our wells off.
[41:01] So they get a little bit of a rest period.
[41:03] They won't, you know, by the time that they're ready to kick on again, it's right at 4 p.m.
[41:08] So we're not going to come on until probably, you know, when it at 9 o'clock tonight.
[41:15] So it's able to keep up, you know, we have plenty of space between that,
[41:23] got for bid.
[41:24] There's an event, you know, one of the wells comes off line, you know, we're going to be dipping
[41:29] to a point where we're, you know, getting a little bit anxious.
[41:33] So we're not there, you know, and we're looking pretty solid, but getting well 10 on will
[41:39] is over this critical period where we're really intensely watching our performance and our demand
[41:46] and our supply curves.
[41:49] Great.
[41:50] Thank you.
[41:50] Thank you so much.
[41:51] We have to.
[41:52] That's where we're going.
[41:53] Yeah.
[41:54] First of all, just listening to you talk Joe, I don't know how you do it.
[41:57] I really don't.
[41:58] You've got so much on your plate and you run such an efficient department.
[42:04] And you're so knowledgeable about this all this off the top of your head, which impresses me.
[42:08] But even one question, I just wanted to confirm the fiscal impact of this, so that 2.45 was,
[42:18] but did that same amount, but was budgeted for the 26.27?
[42:23] Yes, ma'am.
[42:24] And we anticipated an initial cost at 4 million.
[42:30] And so we used about one and a half on drilling and destroying well five.
[42:36] So, we're right there at our budget of 2.5.
[42:42] There are other things that we got at count four,
[42:44] which will probably get us over that 4 million.
[42:48] I think it's 4 million.
[42:49] I checked with Deborah before I brought this to you guys,
[42:52] and she said, yeah, we're good.
[42:54] So, it's her fault if we're not.
[42:58] No, but I still need to program in things like construction management.
[43:04] So when we're going through, we want a good team that's overseeing the contractor and making sure everything is marching along.
[43:13] And then, obviously, the contingencies, we don't know what bids are going to come back at.
[43:17] This is our estimate.
[43:19] You know, they could, you know, I hate to say this and be so negative.
[43:24] But in all likelihood, it's going to be over.
[43:27] You know, as we're seeing with the way the construction world is today.
[43:32] Well, I think I can speak on behalf of the other council members, and it's good for you to
[43:36] share that with us that you're very like little gover, prepare us ahead of time instead of
[43:40] say rise. So I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Council member Rodriguez.
[43:47] Just to confirm, we have two functional wells correct. Yes, sir. Okay. Good. I'd like to make
[43:54] a comment too. I want to thank the city for ensuring the safety of our residents who do
[44:01] to Dolors Day Park. I did walk by there with my family and my animals and saw that you guys
[44:07] put some fencing and I know there were some concerns with that so thank you Mayor for also bringing
[44:12] that to the attention of the city. I'm just excited to start seeing the progress with the
[44:18] with the well and the construction and I did see that the the gazibles up which looks really nice and
[44:26] excited. I know we talked about it in the last meeting about painting the structures there so that's
[44:30] going to be very excited to see where we're going and not seeing more of a dates of when it's
[44:34] going to be projected to potentially be completed.
[44:38] So thank you, Joe.
[44:39] You're welcome.
[44:41] And today, the crew started demolishing the above ground structure for well five.
[44:48] So pretty soon, that's going to be leveled.
[44:50] We're not going to see that.
[44:51] It's going to be returned to grass.
[44:53] So we're looking forward to that.
[44:55] Thank you.
[44:57] Councillor Rubius and York.
[44:58] Yes.
[44:58] Thank you.
[44:59] Just one end.
[45:03] 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.
[45:15] So my question is about timeline and maybe participation of our wet winter that we may have.
[45:23] Do you think the procurement is going to take such a while that perhaps they might not even have that equipment
[45:30] until the end of winter or so or, you know, just want to see what you thought about that
[45:35] and may a super El Nino push things back a bit.
[45:39] Yeah, the weather is never our friend in construction, you know, especially when we're outdoors doing stuff.
[45:48] The contractor is given, I can't remember exactly, but I think it's like 65 working days.
[45:56] So they're held to that timeline.
[46:02] That does not include weather delays.
[46:05] So if there's rain in a day, we don't count those.
[46:07] We don't count that day as a working day.
[46:10] And then conditions, so if the grounds really muddy and stuff, we don't count those as
[46:19] So, I mean, I don't, to get to your question, the procurement period is not going to change because of weather.
[46:30] What will change is the actual construction.
[46:33] So, they can, you know, as soon as we issue that notice proceed, they're often running.
[46:38] They're ordering whatever we need for the project.
[46:41] So, it's literally, you know, some of the longer lead times is like the generator.
[46:47] And we saw this when we were doing the adult, active adult center generator, that took
[46:53] like a year and a half, that got hit by the COVID delay and stuff like that.
[46:58] I don't anticipate that happening on this one, but the construction team is also working
[47:04] on neighboring wells and other cities.
[47:06] And there's seen some of these, the materials being delayed up to a year.
[47:12] Another one is the electrical panel.
[47:15] So we've been working with some partners in trying to maybe advance,
[47:21] procuring some of the longer lead time materials.
[47:27] I don't know if that's going to happen, but we can at least give the contractor a beat on some
[47:36] 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.
[47:49] I really hope that's the case, but that's probably not going to be the case.
[47:53] So yeah, there will be some other delays, but I don't anticipate them being any different from other seasons, other years.
[48:02] I'm sorry, other years, the ring season, and other years.
[48:07] But there is going to be some other delays.
[48:09] Thank you.
[48:10] Thank you, Joe.
[48:12] Okay.
[48:13] Say another question.
[48:14] Is there a motion?
[48:20] 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.
[48:34] Here we go. The motion is second. I'll second. The motion is second. All in favor?
[48:38] Hi.
[48:39] And you're posed?
[48:40] Motion passes. Thank you.
[48:42] Thank you.
[48:43] on to item number 90. Introduction of ordinance number 26-1-001.
[48:49] Amending.
[48:52] Oh, the new 90 or 90. 90. Introduction of ordinance number 26-1-001.
[49:00] Amending Fillmore Municipal Code Title 11. Streets and sidewalks to add chapter 11.30
[49:07] unlawful camping and storage of personal property and public spaces.
[49:11] Give
[49:26] me one second.
[49:38] Thank you Mayor members of the council and thank you our City Attorney Tiffany Israel and her firm who helped prepare this report.
[49:47] The ordinance that we're presenting to you today is.
[49:52] Is needed primarily for compliance with a grant that it's round five of the.
[50:00] 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.
[50:29] 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.
[50:42] Shelter and services should prioritize people experience homelessness and ensure their belongings are treated with respect.
[50:49] 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.
[50:59] 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.
[51:10] And so that's what we believe that this ordinance does provide the city with.
[51:16] And I do have a document here to kind of go over some of the key points of the ordinance.
[51:23] So camping on public property would be prohibited and declared a public nuisance.
[51:28] And so the only exception to this would be if there is a city issue permit for a special event.
[51:36] such and let's see, the ordinance defines key terms so that it's very specific, you know,
[51:44] how this ordinance applies to individuals and there and there be longings, it provides
[51:51] a time frame by which, you know, the individual is allowed to comply with the notice to
[51:59] 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.
[52:16] And so, it's very well written.
[52:22] As we move forward, and we work on our ERF and Catman grant,
[52:27] we're looking at the two properties
[52:29] where the majority of our
[52:31] and Catman residents are located.
[52:34] They're located on private property.
[52:37] So, in the event that
[52:40] the other issue that could be down the line for
[52:43] 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.
[53:04] It's not out of the realm of possibility that they could relocate to public property.
[53:10] So an ordinance like this is really needed to give the city the ability to vacate these
[53:17] encaments and continue to offer services to these individuals that the city has the ability
[53:22] to offer at the time.
[53:24] So with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions that the council may have.
[53:29] Thank you questions.
[53:31] Council member, are you going to get?
[53:32] I'm not necessarily a question, just a comment, so I read through this and I found it very...
[53:39] I thought it was well written and a nice balance between, as you said,
[53:45] 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
[53:52] 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.
[53:59] I don't know how much that means, but good job, guys.
[54:04] I don't want to echo the sector, what Council Member Gernicus, my thoughts exactly, so.
[54:09] Council Member Rooney?
[54:11] Sure.
[54:13] Thank you for the answer.
[54:15] So I'm going to just throw questions out there that I know I'm going to get hit with, I have
[54:20] a bit from constituents since we've been finding this uphill battle for so long.
[54:26] I appreciate the changes that have been taking place so far, you know, certainly under your leadership, and
[54:32] the steps forward we've made, which I think are great, and I'm trying to share that information as well.
[54:38] But on the report, under
[54:44] the ordinance, reflect three basic principles, and the first principle,
[54:50] refer to no person should face criminal punishment, for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go.
[54:55] So one question I have is, I mean, how do you determine when they have nowhere else to go?
[55:00] 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.
[55:10] 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.
[55:23] Is that, how is that, we did out? Is it at all?
[55:26] Yeah, I think I've made mention to this before, from my experience in working with the homeless
[55:34] population, truly every individual's case is really unique.
[55:39] So certainly there are those individuals that have the option to go home, but for a lot
[55:44] of these folks, they've burned quite a few bridges and they just don't have the trust of friends
[55:50] and family to go back, some do.
[55:53] I would say from my knowledge of some of the folks in the
[55:58] 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.
[56:10] 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.
[56:22] And then, I had this question posed to me actually this week as recently as this week.
[56:29] And I understand that the river bottom is made of a different ownership, a lot of its private property.
[56:36] But one person had said, well, why can't the at least go in and just plow down to your
[56:42] Rondo in the area where the camps are, and I understand, my response was well, they would just
[56:46] move to where their Rondo wasn't cut down, and then I know we're dealing with the whole
[56:54] But yeah, the lease bill is very old.
[56:56] Right, the Nesting and all that.
[56:58] So there's violations we need to be aware of.
[57:01] But how can I respond to a constituent?
[57:05] And it, like I said, it's coming up.
[57:06] No, very good question.
[57:08] The Rundal situation is very challenging.
[57:10] One, we do have, in that particular area of the Santa Clara River,
[57:14] we do have the endangered species issue.
[57:16] So that's one.
[57:19] Two is it's very expensive to remove a window.
[57:23] This isn't the amount of money in the amount of a window that would need to be removed.
[57:28] And the practice, the methodology that you would have to use to remove the window is very specific.
[57:33] You have to get approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
[57:37] That all adds to cost.
[57:38] It's very expensive.
[57:40] There's a lot of competition for grant funds for a window removal.
[57:45] So, between the county and the conservancies that are doing these restoration projects.
[57:52] So it is quite challenging to get to secure the funding to do the Rondo Rumble.
[57:56] Yeah, I'm just looking at from this standpoint of those that live closest to the river.
[58:03] And they have legitimate concerns.
[58:04] I know we all talked about this about fire.
[58:08] And with that at Rondo's closest it is to the residents now and the fires that we've had.
[58:14] 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.
[58:28] And this will not go well at all, but I'm going to say it anyway.
[58:32] I see the residents who live either on whatever the roads are adjacent to the river.
[58:39] And I think OK, fires, they start, and they start primarily because there's a whole lot of
[58:46] a rondo there.
[58:46] It's so easy for these people that are camping there to accidentally start fires.
[58:52] For someone to lose a home, over not, this is where I'm going to probably get hit, worrying
[59:00] about an area where there's some birds that are nesting, you know, all take care of the resident
[59:07] every single time, and I'm an advocate for nature, and you can serve and see everything
[59:12] anyway.
[59:13] But given the choice, I know you've heard all this, but I don't want to say it's a balancing
[59:19] act and the practical reality of it.
[59:23] You do weigh the effects on our neighbors and the financial potential, the impact on the city.
[59:33] The fines for, you know, damaging a nest are significant, they're about, maybe I thought
[59:39] I've heard about $50,000 per occurrence up to, per nest or, you know, so, you know, you
[59:45] could imagine if you start damaging and that's damaging nest and this is documented, that
[59:50] could be quite an expensive mistake.
[59:53] So really, this is a balancing act, and the method that we're using right now is,
[1:00:00] 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.
[1:00:15] 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.
[1:00:26] 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.
[1:00:36] 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.
[1:00:42] 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.
[1:00:50] I do have some good news.
[1:00:52] One of the individuals in the in-campment on the property adjacent to Heritage Valley Parkway
[1:01:00] has secured housing.
[1:01:02] This will update some going to be able to provide its interim housing.
[1:01:06] So there's some good news that I have to give you with regard to the program.
[1:01:10] So that's good to know.
[1:01:12] We need all the good news we can get out of this topic.
[1:01:15] But again, you know, thanks for what you're doing and, no, it's just frustrating.
[1:01:19] It is. Thank you for sharing that on behalf of the residents. It's important for them to hear that.
[1:01:26] I appreciate the council members who have shared their appreciation for staff's work on this,
[1:01:33] but it is important that our community also hears and that their frustrations and concerns are being reflected by council members.
[1:01:42] In the communication that we can get from you to pass on is really, really helpful.
[1:01:49] A fortune job.
[1:01:50] A fortune job.
[1:01:52] Thank you very much.
[1:01:54] Thank you.
[1:01:55] Can't remember.
[1:01:55] Can't remember.
[1:01:56] Yeah, and this is just a comment.
[1:01:58] Thank you, Manning for your presentation.
[1:01:59] Thank you for having this discussion.
[1:02:02] And I think we just need to continue these great lines of communication that you're
[1:02:05] giving us, Manning.
[1:02:06] And being able to pass on and for us, we'll just discuss.
[1:02:09] And I just wanted to make the comment on the Rendo, which is super, super frustrating.
[1:02:16] One, the cost to remove it, and then just the way of nature of that we are in,
[1:02:23] you know, we are at the lower end of the river valley, where Rando is upstream,
[1:02:28] and the fact that we can remove it from our area, but being that Rando seeds are upstream,
[1:02:35] that they will just come and flow again and so it's going to just take a massive statewide
[1:02:42] funding commitment in this area of, you know, coordination with our senators and assembly members
[1:02:51] that you know covered this valley and upstream of this valley to really move that issue forward.
[1:02:56] So, yeah, it's fun to say that.
[1:03:01] Thank you, many, thank you, everybody.
[1:03:03] Would that have been said no more questions?
[1:03:05] Can I have a motion please?
[1:03:10] I'd like to move the motion.
[1:03:13] For the City Council to put the first reading to introduce ordinance number 26-1010,
[1:03:19] ordinance of the City Council of the City of Fillmore, California, amending Fillmore
[1:03:24] Municipal Code, Title 113's, I'm the side of walks to add, chapter 111.30 on Lothal Camping
[1:03:32] and Storage of Personal Property and Public Places.
[1:03:35] Do we have emotions or second?
[1:03:37] I'll second.
[1:03:38] Okay.
[1:03:39] Motion, second, all in favor?
[1:03:40] Aye.
[1:03:41] Any opposed?
[1:03:43] Motion passes.
[1:03:44] I see.
[1:03:44] Thank you.
[1:03:46] Moving on to item 10.
[1:03:48] City Manager.
[1:03:48] Vote for a verbal report.
[1:03:50] Thank you, Mayor.
[1:03:52] I know many started to provide you with an update on the ERF grant, but we wanted to make sure
[1:03:57] that we didn't deviate so much on the previous item, but he'll provide you with
[1:04:03] the rest of the update.
[1:04:04] We have good news of Rapid Rehousing in the past two weeks, so good job, Manny and Terny points up to you.
[1:04:13] Thank you.
[1:04:14] Thank you.
[1:04:15] So yeah, so an update with the ERF grant, you know, they've been working our case managers have been working really hard.
[1:04:24] And just within the last, I'd say two to three weeks.
[1:04:26] 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.
[1:04:51] 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.
[1:05:00] That's out there. What is it doing? It has. It's taken a while for the program to get started and
[1:05:07] to, for the case managers, to develop these relationships with the residents, but it's
[1:05:12] born some fruit. And we have some really good progress. And I think given this work,
[1:05:18] I think we'll see more being housed in place in temporary housing with the overall goal of
[1:05:24] having them placed into people's self-help project,
[1:05:27] the film or terrorist project,
[1:05:30] just to give you a little update on that,
[1:05:32] and it kind of aligns really good with the grant right now.
[1:05:36] They anticipate hopefully starting construction,
[1:05:38] if they're able to complete their financing
[1:05:41] and get everything going in January
[1:05:44] or February start construction of 2027,
[1:05:48] and so they anticipate a one-year construction cycle.
[1:05:51] 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.
[1:06:08] 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.
[1:06:17] It can't remember if he's in here.
[1:06:19] Yes, thank you, Manny.
[1:06:22] So for the permanent housing,
[1:06:24] I mean, does that mean permanent,
[1:06:25] like found in a found in a apartment
[1:06:27] that'll have supportive services?
[1:06:29] Right, so people, people self-help,
[1:06:32] fill more terrace projects includes 13 units,
[1:06:36] supportive service units.
[1:06:38] Right, but I was just wondering for right now
[1:06:40] for that person that you mentioned
[1:06:41] has permanent housing.
[1:06:43] It is supported in not in the,
[1:06:46] because it is in a market rate location,
[1:06:50] but our case managers will continue to meet regularly
[1:06:53] with the client.
[1:06:55] As long as they're receiving rapid rehousing dollars,
[1:06:59] they're going to have to maintain their relationship
[1:07:00] with our case manager to make sure that they're working
[1:07:03] on their program.
[1:07:05] And the goal is to get them to be self-sufficient
[1:07:07] so that when the rapid rehousing funds ends,
[1:07:12] they have a job, but they have the funding
[1:07:15] to continue paying the rent and staying housed.
[1:07:17] Okay, perfect.
[1:07:17] That's what I was going to say.
[1:07:19] There was a gap there from an end time with the temporary housing
[1:07:23] to before the potential for people's self-help.
[1:07:27] Or even something that we might be able to in our application for the ERF
[1:07:32] next round of funding just to maintain that if they're doing well
[1:07:35] and being successful that we're just able to keep them from coming back
[1:07:39] to the riverbed.
[1:07:40] 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.
[1:07:50] 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.
[1:07:59] That's how much funding we have to help.
[1:08:01] Okay. Thank you.
[1:08:02] Thank you.
[1:08:03] Please.
[1:08:03] Thank you.
[1:08:04] Thank you.
[1:08:07] fantastic news about four individuals. So if I remember correctly the last time I asked about this
[1:08:12] number, you said that we had about approximately 13 individuals. So does that mean we're down into
[1:08:17] the single digits now? I would say it's approximate, you know, there. One of the individuals that we
[1:08:25] did help was in an area that wasn't as clearly defined within the is the catman's own. It was
[1:08:32] on the other side of the bridge, so you know, the numbers fluctuate, they fluctuate, so we could
[1:08:39] be in the teens, you know, muscle men also, so great job to the team.
[1:08:48] The force, definite.
[1:08:51] Thank you so much.
[1:08:52] Another question?
[1:08:53] I do have another question.
[1:08:56] And you know, not know the answer to this one, but just an idea I had, or just thinking
[1:09:01] of those, you know, again, that are finding rapid rehousing or willing to move out of the river bed.
[1:09:08] I think, Councilman Progui mentioned it with, do they have family in town or those?
[1:09:12] Do you know many, is there any program, either funded by the ERF grant or just some kind of,
[1:09:20] yeah, some kind of program we may know about locally or somewhere in the state that works with families?
[1:09:27] I don't want to call it reunification, but because this situation has to be just really common,
[1:09:34] You know, the ties have been broken, but is there potential to bring those ties back together?
[1:09:40] I've just wanted to know if you knew there was, you know, along with our funding them
[1:09:44] at these different housing situations.
[1:09:47] Do you know if there's anything that's even, I guess, maybe even funded in some kind
[1:09:51] of way of the sort of working with families?
[1:09:54] I know the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Nami, they work and provide.
[1:10:00] 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.
[1:10:11] 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.
[1:10:21] 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.
[1:10:28] So, that's interesting. I didn't know that. Thank you.
[1:10:31] Thank you, man. Sure. Thank you.
[1:10:34] Thank you, man.
[1:10:35] Just remind the constituents that as we get through this heat wave,
[1:10:39] we have activated the cooling center at the active adult center.
[1:10:44] Monday through Thursday from 11 to 5, and we'll reassess Thursday
[1:10:49] whether we open it on Friday or not.
[1:10:52] I know we shared via our website and social media.
[1:10:55] I'm just not going to modify all the residents that during the fall of the heat.
[1:11:01] We have this active activity in the environment,
[1:11:05] in the health center of active adults from the 11th of the morning to the 5th of the afternoon.
[1:11:12] And let's go back to the game.
[1:11:14] And then we're going to take the decision to go back to the opening,
[1:11:19] and then we're going to communicate.
[1:11:23] we're also working on scheduling to upcoming community engagement to finalize the calendar year.
[1:11:34] So we're planning on having a mayor, mayor, per ten, coffee or ice room.
[1:11:40] We have quite finalized the details that I wanted to share that with the council.
[1:11:44] 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.
[1:11:53] And then another one hopefully, you know, mid-november or beginning of December.
[1:12:00] 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.
[1:12:09] I would be on favor of ice cream since it's so hot.
[1:12:11] Okay.
[1:12:12] noted. And then we're also working internally on our quarterly newsletter. And so if you haven't
[1:12:20] subscribed to our newsletter, we encourage you to do that. We should be wrapping that up in the
[1:12:26] next few weeks and publishing it. So that concludes my updates. Thank you. Thank you so much. And with
[1:12:33] that being said, I will now adjourn tonight's meeting to our next regular least scheduled meeting at
[1:12:39] at 630pm on Tuesday, September 8th, right here at City Hall
[1:12:43] and thank you all for tuning in.
